hey everyone welcome back to another episode of the me Kevin show today we got to talk about the Bitcoin ETF near approval we got to talk about Trump getting actually a gag order and we knew that one but he got fined for it finally uh we'll see what we think about that did he deserve it or not Israel Palestine updates what's going on with the hostages and oil deliveries and why are news agencies taking their live blogs down what's happening we'll talk about that we'll also talk about some free speech issues Tesla and more let's get into it uh first really finding it interesting deliver uh gets 10,000 job applications a week that's the food delivery service based out of the United Kingdom what's happening are people just trying to get more money or or are people out of money are people like I I got extra time I mean you know we always talk about this it's like if you sleep 8 hours a day you got an extra like 114 hours a week what are you do at that time you know you got a 40 hour a week job got plenty to drive and do some deliveries what do you think is this is this tough Economic Times got to fill those Pockets up again it could be going back to school I know a lot lot of students like to do the delivery things with their extra time CU they can't have a full-time job and they can't necessarily commit to a part-time job hours so it's like the late night deliveries and things like that so now that we're back in the swing of school season um maybe now we're getting closer to the holidays people like I'm going to earn some extra cash for Christmas for my family or whatever it's a great idea I didn't even think about that I remember when I went to high school I had to request like a special 4-Hour shift schedule because you know after school like how much time do you actually have you want to work but it's hard to here you make your own hours kind of like with Uber or what ever that's really interesting okay that's that's a good point could be that so back to school what do you think miky yeah that's actually a really good point cuz I was going to say it's usually not someone's first job like no one's wanting to to work at food delivery as like their priority it's usually like well I'll do this until I find something else get some extra money and do this as a bridge you know American Express I read their earnings call but they just reported on Friday uh they're talking about consumer spending specifically from their Millennial and gen Z cohort but consumer spending up 9% in the US year-over-year inflation on average average this year has been like what 4 and a half 5% so you still have this positive like 4 and A2 4ish per of of spending increase that's happening is that because people are working for deliver I guess you're Uber Eats or something yeah no it it could totally I know a lot of my friends do it when they are especially in school most of my college friends do some sort of side gig whether it be grocery delivery or um grocery delivery tends to be more profitable than food delivery and it's less fickle why just because it's like bigger order bigger price tickets instead of like a $40 Panda Express order you're getting $150 grocery from a mom that has two kids that can't leave the house and then they're thinking 10 or 20% tip on obviously a higher value item ah interesting and those grocery ones I think there's probably a lot less uh uh order complaining in grocery like I I don't get me wrong I bet if you do a $150 order there's probably a you know 10 bucks that gets aside for every order for just mess ups but you mess up somebody's dinner it's like like all or nothing man yeah cuz they are hungry and cranky already yeah I'm hungry you forgot the sauce all $40 refund request yeah I've seen it I've seen it yeah yeah okay good so what do we got it looks like oh we're starting off here with Jim Jordan what happened here he lost again that's a surprise is he is Kevin McCarthy going to come back is that would that even remotely be a possibility CU it even though it seems like people love to hate him he was the one person that actually got the votes and apparently out of these other 217 people there's just nobody in the Republican house that could lead this group I think the Dems messed up a little bit it was kind of a weird Flex that they did and uh now that everyone's suffering for it that's a good point that's a good point because if you think about it the Dems had a neutral Republican speaker yes right and the Dems control the presidency and the Senate which means as long as you can get something done with a neutral guy on in the house you could slam anything else you want through the Senate and the presidency because your one roadblock is the Republican house but if your roadblock has a neutral guy in place great you get a you know Matt Gates or whatever in nothing's going to get done you've just lost your your third branch so to speak and I don't want to confuse that with branches you know legislative executive and courts but think of it as like the three branches of of the political control even though courts have gotten politicized uh the three branches of political control house the Senate presidency yeah you're right maybe the Dems just screwed up big time as because they were frustrated at least some were saying that you had mcarthy slamming Democrats on 60 Minutes and every Democrat watches 60 Minutes every Sunday that's true so so everybody's like well we'll show you but that's is it it's kind of like biting off your nose to spite your face that's interesting wow that's a really good analogy okay so who's going to run this we have no idea I guess we nobody's really leading right now eh nobody's leading but we have well we had nine candidates as of this weekend and then yesterday one dropped out I've got the other eight on my screen if you want to see their precious little faces let's see it yeah let's P it up oh there they are axios they're a good publication I like them so there they are wow look at that uh see the problem is I don't know that any of these people quite Frank like I think most of the people watching this video are going to look at this and go these people are in Congress I don't I don't even know who they are so like that's a problem you know when when you're trying to unite the entire uh uh Republican party so okay what about speaking of Republican party what about the uh the unspoken leader of the Republican party I heard he just got fined and some more attorney Drama Oh yeah unspoken Le Donnie Trump Donnie T Donnie Trump he had that uh the partial gag order that we've been talking about and so uh the the judge was basically like hey you can't be talking crap about people in my court because he was saying that the uh the clerk was like the girlfriend of was it the judge or something like that Chuck Schumer oh Chuck Schumer and so he's like you can't talk crap about my my court and that's it so he deleted the I guess it's called a truth from truth social the post okay yeah yeah okay uh but it turned out he never deleted it from his website it was deep in the Donald J Trump website and so the judge found out about it on Thursday uh issued a notice to the lawyer the lawyer took it down but then on Friday uh they were talking about it and basically Trump got fined $55,000 because it was still on the website yeah wow totally worth it for Trump $5,000 fine I mean like again now now people are talking about him oh Trump got fined but you know that $5,000 probably turns into $500,000 in campaign donations i' I'd be like find me again hit me again baby and she threatened it oh if you do something like this again we're going to find you again like the repercussions are so minor pleas please yeah Trump's lawyer said this was inadvertent and to be to their credit I kind of believe them they were like it was deep in the website they called it the back pages like we just didn't know about it sure so it's not a big of a deal as people think it's probably like a truth social feed that posts to their website and and then maybe it doesn't delete from there once it pulls it in it doesn't update it afterwards I I could see sense uh also interesting uh you had the third uh actually no this is now the fourth guilty plea that Atlanta has secured from former Associates or attorneys of Donald Trump in the Georgia case uh the last attorney here now is uh Jenna Ellis uh she's 38 she just pled guilty uh to violence she could face up to five years of probation uh fines they have to do the they have to five I think it's $5,000 of fines as well which is a lot more for an individual person compared to the Trump campaign uh and then all of them are basically agreeing to testify against Donald Trump uh Ellis actually went as far as saying if I knew then what I know now I would have declined to represent Trump what I did not do or should have done was make sure that the facts others alleged to be true or false Back Then basically before she took the job so kind of trying to distance herself from hey shouldn't have worked with them but I did I got stuck you know it sounds a lot like what's going on in the S bankman free trial where you have Carolyn uh arguing that oh you know I was romantically in love I I fell into the Trap I was a victim I was convinced by by his charm or this that or whatever uh what's really wild is that uh this fourth attorney uh who just uh pled guilty actually hit me up a lot during my campaign for governor really in California she uh because you know I'm running against Gavin Nome and I was getting like all the Republicans from all angles dming me like oh here's a story look into this look into this look into this and it was so hilarious because people just wanted somebody to light a fire under Gavin dusome and they're like Kevin can do it so she's like hey I'm the former attorney for Donald Trump like this is such a small freaking world and she was really nice in DMS and she'd be like hey you know here's a story you might look into and research this that and none of it ever seemed like pressured or there was like it just seemed like it's so it almost feels like if somebody's figh your enemy Gavin usum then everybody who is also enemies with Gavin is now your friend it's really kind of funny in politics how that is I do think it's only the third attorney who's pled guilty okay that's what I third that's what I thought the third uh but if Bloomberg here saying State prosecutors in Atlanta secured a fourth guilty plea so I wonder if one of them has had like a a double plea or something like that so I because I when I read the story this morning as well I thought it was the third person so maybe there's a fourth play or something like that but good claric there so something to be figured out is really not messing around with this Georg is going all the way well this is a smart way to do it because if I mean if you think about it if you're going for like the head and you basically tie up all of the arms to then fight the head you know that's the way to do it but if everyone is United uh together then it's very hard for a jury to say oh Donald Trump was at fault when everybody's like no we did nothing wrong oh Trump's already backpedaling if you want to see my screen here this is a regarding pow which was one of the attorneys from last week and this is Trump on Truth social is it fair is is she the one people say is like the crazy one with who was always on uh on social media with uh what was it uh Rudy Giuliani people always made fun of her like these are Sydney Powell let me let me clarify this in case people don't know the context Sydney Powell was the one Tucker Carlson called a nut job wow so so just to clarify on Sydney Powell when Tucker Carlson calls someone a nut JW anyway that was from the uh the transcripts that came out from the uh uh Fox and Dominion lawsuit anyway let's see what we got here yeah Trump says that Powell's one of the millions and millions of people who thought that you know the election was rigged but an interesting point here he goes despite the fake news reports to the contrary and without even reaching out to ask the Trump campaign Miss Powell was not my attorney and never was wow it's really interesting because I found this tweet on X back before he was banned and he said I look forward to Mary Giuliani spear Hing spearheading the legal effort to defend our right to free and fair elections Rudy Giuliani Joseph janova Victoria tonsing and Sydney Powell and there's Jenna Jenna Ellis a truly great team added to our wonderful lawyers and representatives nice that's a good find I mean this that's a really good find I mean this is just Trump like everybody like everybody knows like when he says it's the greatest thing ever it's the best thing ever it's all marketing and it's like what he the sad thing is like you have to ad MIT that's not very presidential but but people are like well well neither is Congress well neither is the government the way it is and and so you need somebody like that to go you know fight the dirty fight so to speak in dirty ways or whatever ways it takes it's really interesting if you're Trump are you starting to worry about how serious they're taking all like the the all of his lawyers going down or is he concerned or thinking it that Donald Trump uh deep down inside feels that he is like a martyr that no that no matter what he is doing the absolute best thing for the country uh like I I know like there's part of me that's like he has to know he has to know when he's he's saying like he has to know but I I I think he's gone so far down this Rabbit Hole of politics that he's convinced himself that he is running because you know God wants it the People Want it whatever it is and and that he's going to say anything he needs to do to defend himself now just to get one step further he's really doing the shield analogy that we always talk about which is just like you know you put up the shield you're going to get attacked and one foot as long as one foot's going in front of the other you're winning and I think that's really what he's doing now some of that like what you just showed it it exemplifies flailing right a little bit you know it's kind of like it's not targeted he has a a more incoherent strategy because there's so many things that weaken his strategy like that that doesn't look good doesn't look good for anyone so uh I don't know I mean what am I missing he's just adding like we talked about it quite frequently he's just adding more chaos to the whole mix it's just like he just says one thing here and like everybody pays attention to it then he does another thing over here and just like he's never going like he's he's never quiet that's and that's part of his attention getting mechanism that's why he pulls so much ahead of all these other folks I mean look at like vake had a had a storm there after the first uh Republican debate but now you never hear about him anymore he's he's not the focus of attention right now it's it's Trump and it's it's stuff like this that gets everyone talking about Trump and not the ideas of people like Pence or or or VI and here's something really interesting although it'd be terrible what's happening with Israel and Palestine um Biden's been in front of the camera more than he has been in the last six months well as he should be and he should be but like it's kind of a double-edged short form he's doing his presidential duties while also running uh getting ready for his campaign like everybody's seeing him he's on every news Outlet Fox CNN you name it he's there when's the last time you tuned into a Biden press conference you know certainly before the Israel thing like never like they're boring right but during the Israel oh address to the nation we got to watch you know yeah even here in the office like Biden's talking to everybody TV's on like what's he going to say about the conflict this time yeah y yep it's it is interesting I actually think there uh well I'm surprised a by Donald Trump's quietness on the Israel issue uh because it's it's it's a disaster and I would expect a little bit more commentary from him but we're he really focuses a lot on the election and I think he's purposefully trying to stay out of this because it's almost like a lose lose to comment on these sort of kind of conflicts uh so that's very interesting on top of the fact that you've got the Biden Administration they're really pulling in the Reigns on Israel on this idea of oh they definitely need a ground Invasion how many days in a row has the ground Invasion been one day away you know like for the last like two weeks it's every day it's like oh it's the invasion's coming it's one day away I really think you've got the Biden and there were some great pieces on this as well but it seems to be a consensus the consensus now is focus on hostage res uh uh rescues focus on Aid to the region and you have an update on Aid right uh hostages and Aid let's talk about that yeah let it yeah so they released uh just this week and they released two additional hostages and that brings her total up to four initially they had released a mother and daughter I think were American and uh just now they released two older ladies one was 79 one was 85 presumably their husbands are still captured actually do have a video that I'll pull up here in a second of one of the hostages and um who say she was beaten but then treated well it's interesting yeah I I wouldn't be surprised if at at first like I think Israel's response was so underestimated by Hamas that if you're Hamas right now and and you see the destruction that youve basically been responsible for in the Gaza Strip you're like we done effed up this is like which is the point that was the point Israel was trying to make it's like you mess with us this is what we're going to do to you to some extent as much as I entirely disagree with the killing of civilians and there's no justification for that to some extent the leveling of the Gaza Strip that you're seeing the destruction you're seeing is a giant warning sign to all the surrounding countries too even Iran it's like you want to mess with Israel we have all the funding we need from America because they got the money printer we got all their weapons and we will send them all to your doorstep yeah I think Israel got put in an interesting predicament where the invasion basically if they invade hasb is threatening that they'll attack Israel on the other side and Israel's like is it really worth an allout War rather than just a response they're inciting an entire War not only in another country but they have to defend their own country again on the other side right and then that's where I think the the purse strings matter a lot here where it doesn't take much for the US to say look we'll keep supplying you bombs and defensive rounds for your iron dome but if you go for an allout invasion we're not going to support you anymore yeah that's all it takes to get Israel to stop because they don't have the money to do it themselves in those to be fair they just don't have the money the economy is just too small it's not because they don't want to have the money or they're they're just phys they're just literally not capable of having enough money to fund this without America so in other words America controls what happens as usual yeah if it's not America it's it'd be someone else it would be China or whoever Russ that's a really good point and and that's where you know a lot of Americans argue why does America have to be the World Police well would you rather Putin would you rather China all right that's a really good point a golden rule a the person with the gold makes the rules what uh didn't there is a rumor that Putin has body doubles and that he had Cardiac Arrest yesterday oh uh Sunday night yeah and and now there's I mean so who was it it was uh the Sky News I think Sky News was reporting that via telegram Putin basically had a cardiac arrest uh in his bedroom he had a table of food and drinks uh apparently knocked it over I think like a hotel cart almost to food and drinks knocked it over and was convulsing on the ground his uh guards heard that came in medical staff on site resuscitated him guess when you go cardiac you die and then they resuscitated him uh you know now now and then at the same time rumors are coming out that when Putin goes to events he has body doubles that go because he's so afraid of being assassinated I guess the kremlin's now laughing this off none of these rumors are confirmed but yeah it does make you wonder if if this is this like an attempt to you know slip something in his food or whatever or but you have to look at it both ways and or remember there three there're always three things three stories there's one side story The Other Side Story and then there's the truth and so to some extent if the Kremlin actually confirms this and then paints it as like an assassination attempt or whatever you could actually in a weird way Galvanize support for Putin when when you have a failed assassination attempt people actually tend to rally and support like imagine as much as people hate Biden imagine if there was an assassination attempt on the president and it was found out to be another country yeah it's not the person it's the office that's what people would get defensive anybody that cares about their country it's not the person it's the office yeah we don't like obviously Joseph Biden is in the the presidential seat but we don't necessarily like Joseph Biden isn't the person we respect it's the seat that it's the office it's The Mantel that we respect yeah I mean that's a great thing analogy or just statement I mean look at like imagine if Mexico staged an attempt at assassination on the presidential office you know it' be disaster I mean everybody I feel like even though you hate people might hate Biden and there are going to be some people in the comments like I wish they would you know cuz that's just the YouTube comment section but I do think the vast majority of Americans would start buying American flags again you know you'd actually Galvanize the support so that's one possibility is that maybe there was an attempted assassination attempt or something like that uh although usually you don't get these sort of you know trying to study you know poisons and that uh you mean you can get like Fox Glove or some some uh you know heart related uh poisons but usually you go for uh you know like nerve agents or or or things that basically shut your your cap ability of breathing down so going cardiac could have just been a related health issue yeah uh and and there have been rumors that he's been falling ill or or showing him like appearing weaker he is like 71 years old so it's entirely possible but uh it is interesting I also don't know how all of a sudden I got to Putin uh the cardiac I guess the cardiac story so you're saying well I'll get to the video of the hostages but right so you're saying one one possibility there's three sides to every truth or to every story one side is that uh he might have been it might have been an assassination attempt right the other might have just been illness he's illness he's getting old and the truth could have been that he happened he found no he found pran's coke with hand grenade pins in every line yeah I I think you I don't know if you know this the the Kremlin confirmed this morning that it's all he's fine okay yeah that he's fine or that that story never happened uh everything quote everything is fine with him this is just another complete hoax and then they went on to describe the reports of body dou qu ab and false so notice how they're saying the body doubles report is absurd and false but they're not actually saying the cardiac story is absurd fault they're just false they're just saying he's fine he's fine and this is a complete hoax but like what's a hoax the assassination or the health or yeah yeah yeah yeah so there could be something there that's interesting wording there they're they're clearly saying the body double thing is a joke yeah but don't worry his health is fine okay so was it last night or two nights ago you know it is it's very interesting yeah I think we got to there because we were talking about like with Israel uh you know do we does if America's not the World Police what if it's what if it's Putin or whatever that that's how we got to that so going back to Israel then since clearly I get off on these tangential discussions uh what's going on yeah so the two more hostages that were released uh we still have over 200 hostages as far as we know so this is just a drop in the bucket uh but Christian if you want to throw this on the screen I have this muted just because the first half is silent anyway and the second half is mostly censored uh but this shows the the two hostages this is still in Palestine so this is with uh Hamas around them mhm yeah that green uh the green bandana is is uh sort of your and the black uniform is very sort of the uniform of Hamas H but yeah I mean this is this is you know yeah look at this this is all this is all for the show by the way you know here's here's a drink uh whatever look look at her look inside of it like what is this I don't trust you you see that that's interesting that they picked those two people because they're probably the most frail and most fragile hostages of everybody and if they for whatever reason like passed away in the custody of Hamas then the headlines are Hamas kills two hostages and then the war can escalate so if you're Hamas like I don't want these people dying on my watch oh yeah let's get them off back up like 30 seconds if you can oh yeah look at that see that's perfect but back up like that look look at his face that or the hamasa you can't see his face obviously but but look at how he's leaning over like he cares yes you see that this is they picked the most empathetic Kamas guy they can find look at his finger off the trigger like he's a professional or whatever you know like he's opening up the theack for handing it to her they got the softest guy ever uh in Hamas I don't even know if that's possible if you could suggest that there's a soft person maybe just another hostage dressed up as cuz like how could you ever call like a terrorist organization like soft right but but uh yeah I mean this this is I mean let's call it what it is it's brilliant marketing it is great marketing for Hamas because what Hamas needs to do is go we're not that bad okay like that and look at the destruction they've caused that's be if it if you just remove one thing if you just remove that attack on Israel you would not have had the destruction of the Gaza Strip so call Israel's response whatever you want you could agree with it you could disagree with it you could say they went too far you could say they didn't do enough you could whatever you could say they should have used more diplomacy whatever had it not been for the first strike on Israel here which don't get me wrong there have been plenty other aggressions you know people like well they're evicting Palestinians you know the Israelis are evicting Palestinians from their homes uh they're encroaching a land in the West Bank you know they're oppressing you can make all those arguments but just in the narrowed framework of if you just remove the attack by Hamas the destruction of the Gaza Strip would not have happened at least now this time so that's very clear so this is very clearly hamas's responsibility and now this this U-turn of look we're humans too is very interesting I and I think it's part of their negotiations because now what you have is there's this discussion about a 50 hostage release which fell apart because Hamas wants fuel well no sh like duh like if you don't have fuel you can't turn the power on you can't do anything you can't run your radios you can't you know send emails you know you can't send your telegrams which is your propaganda machine to some extent ENT right I mean there are and you have to know this but there are telegram channels that are just purposefully dedicated to showing all the Palestinian civilian injuries and they're terrible and the deaths and the destruction is just it's it's so heartbreaking to see uh but it is that is a form of propaganda well if you destroy all of the capability to have cell service or Internet or whatever can't upload videos yeah that the first Russia tried to do for Ukraine was take out their comm's towers and anything comms related and that's where Starling came in and kind of foiled a lot of what Putin was trying to do y yeah last thing I want to show on this video if we could throw this back on the screen uh so like you said a lot of good marketing he even puts his arm kind of behind her here to lead her out and they're saying like are you ready to go and she's ready to go but interesting to note she did turn around and like shake his hand which she didn't have to at this point she's kind of free so I mean that's like the thank you the the final like I appreciate you doing this you know it's it's that that's human empathy of like look I get you're fighting for your cause thank you for freeing me that's that's a big moment right there like letting that sink in for a moment like that that's such a good observation Mikey that that final turnaround that did not have to happen that is really incredible I just want to see that here look at that he wasn't even expecting that yeah yeah she was already holding someone else's hand being guided away from the threat and she stopped and went back you know but that's also isn't what's that syndrome called stockh Stockholm syndrome that's exactly what that is to some exent and you have to think that there has to be a little bit of the reverse going on because although the terrorist organization is terrible and evil they are still people and that man probably saw oh she's similar to my grandmother or she's similar to my mother and these hostages sit there like we just want to go home like we have kids and grandkids we want to take care of they're probably verbally wearing the the hostage like the Hamas soldiers they're wearing them down to motion like oh these are just people too like this just an exchange like let's just get this done well that's like the smart thing to do if you're ever a hostage is you make your hostage taker love you and you know you you have to like like not necessarily like sexually but like you you have to be nice and like relatable and like empathetic to them because if if you're in there and you're doing the you know the Jason born which is just basically like say nothing or like f you just going to kill you you know they get pleasure out of it too right so like if you're ever a hostage it's like you know you got to say whatever you got to say to just get your get your out the organizations might be at War but there's people these organizations that do care and that they may not even be fting because they want to but because they feel like they have to because it's a family or whatever or religious thing I mean that's almost true of every war too you know it's almost every war I think you you do get that the human to human like yeah anyway right wait were those both US citizens no I think so not these first two were these two which were the other day oh okay that's what I'm confused okay so uh all right what's next they they are sending humanitarian Aid yes the trucks went through the 20 trucks 20 trucks uh I I saw they were carrying supplies like medicine I also saw uh they're carrying coffins oh which yeah that's sad um I don't know why you'd prioritize coffins over like Diesel and water and stuff like that well so what's interesting is it I wonder because I don't believe coffins are stackable like musical chairs but uh coffins do have I mean they're they're kind of an ideal CR if you think about it for possibly loading up with food and supplies like instead of using pallets and plastic wrap that you're just going to throw away ship I don't know this but I'm speculating you could put food and medicine and AK uh in the coffin and uh you never know man you never know okay that's a good point though I hadn't thought about that where it's not just a waste of space or taking up space something else there's fill up with something else yeah uh so you went warning the Gaza operation could end uh tomorrow this is the aid operation without more fuel this is uh this is just part of the tense negotiation that's going on right now and has been for about the last 48 hours and that's the uh uh the concern that look without fuel like you can't even run the hospitals anymore yeah yeah which by the way that missile strike I mean the Wall Street Journal did a pretty good piece on it and showed uh multiple different angles about three different angles on that uh rocket it the the at least the current consensus is that it is a rocket that uh misfired um or misfired or or failed or whatever and uh remember they struck a parking lot and the reason that was such a big deal is because people were camping in that parking lot waiting to get facility access to the hospital so either way you you look at it you know everybody involved in a conflict ultimately is responsible for the deaths of civilians and and that's why the quicker you can end conflicts the better yeah and from what I found too it uh it came from Islamic Jihad which is a separate enti from Hamas even yeah y y yeah that's another uh another uh I believe also offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood that's where Hamas came from as well so uh really weird if you look back at the history of these groups how they kind of started actually in Egypt uh and uh and it's it's it makes you wonder if if these are groups that like they didn't make it in Egypt I don't know I'm just speculating like right like let's say you have your your like you're like yo we hate our Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt because we have no power let's go build our own base where are we going to go let's go to Gaza and you build your base over there and you become a faction over there so that's how you gain power and and start gaining notoriety or whatever which is what everybody's after interesting enough the New York Times admitted their error in the hospital reporting they issued a public apology for the the lack of reporting and the lack of facts that they used really can you read that out uh this is on Politico um New York Times admits error in Gaza Hospital report the New York Times walked back its initial coverage on the explosion that killed hundreds of Palestines in at the Gaza Strip hospital last week saying saying in an editor's note that the newspaper quote relied too heavily on claims made by Hamas militant group soon after a huge blast rocked the hospital on Tuesday finger pointing over its new over its source began um they just keep they just they talk about how other outlets reporting different things I mean this this is wild they're literally saying several outlets here the times reuer the AP and and like the times we know there's a tilt uh and all honestly all of them have some tilt but Reuters and AP are supposed to be your news wire services that provide news to you know the AG the other newspapers so they can put their tilt on it so the kind of think about it was like Reuters and AP they're like your your fact gatherers on the ground and then they send the information to the nyt and the Wall Street Journal CNN Fox and then they either just republish the story the way the AP wrote it that's why often when you read a news article they'll say per AP or whatever they license the stories this is how everybody seems to get the same stories uh or they put their tilt on it uh so Reuters and AP publishing also the Hamas Viewpoint here that's embarrassing yeah that's embarrassing there there and and so I mean like we said when we were first covering it the truth always eventually comes out H and I thought we said we would never know we well yeah that's a good point uh I think Mikey you said that we might we that is a possibility ground and you see okay you know here's the depth of the crater and uh here's the direction it came from because you could see the blast or whatever and so you do get more facts uh and it's uh it is pretty wild uh to see uh how in the fog of War you could get information on on all angles and you just the reality is will we ever truly always know no there this could be spin too kind kind of like prosan like really like grenades on the plane yeah I guess that's the point is like you get more facts but will you ever truly get the real truth probably I guess maybe that's the way to put it probably official statements yeah that's a good point okay fair fair okay so maybe maybe the truth is we'll never know with 100% certainty we'll just know with slightly more information with some with some Sigma notation margin of error yeah yeah exactly yeah okay all right what's next last one on Israel and Palestine Obama actually had a message about this too you remember that guy right who what Obama the buck stops with me that guy yeah so uh he has a statement here I have it on my screen if you want to throw it up Christian um but I'll just kind of give you the Abridged version of this so he talked about 17 days since the the launch since Hamas launched its horrific attack against Israel he did mention that Israel has a right to defend its citizens in itself um and basically talk down on on Hamas for the the hostage and saying that he's hoping for the return of all the hostages but he does make a note that even though we should support Israel it's uh clear that how Israel Pro prosecutes this fight against Hamas matters so he mentioned too uh Biden had talked about how they've made mistakes in the past even though their allies had warned them about it so he's kind of doubling down on that um and saying that it's an extremely difficult task a lot of a lot of what he says I think is very very accurate war is tragic even the most carefully planned military operations put civilians at risk corre like we talked about like the leveling of Gaza that's what they're trying to do but they're not really trying to kill citizens right it just it Happ going to be casualties it's just like the the the rocket misfire it's like you know the Israeli troops coming in so you get the Islamic Jihad it's like we're going to defend our territory shoot Rockets oh crap one broke I was reading I don't know how truth true it is but potentially as many as 20% of the Rockets they fire misfire and a lot of these are like homemade Rockets too where they're just using like fertilizer basically and and sugar is like a catalyst and they shove it in a tube and and these are like PVC tube Rockets it's kind of wild I've seen videos too and again I don't know how accurate this is but this is from Hamas released videos of them going look we're going into the ground and taking out all these water pipes that the EU paid for and using them and repurposing them for Rockets wow so source is Hamas said they did that and they have videos it was like a propaganda video of them doing it yeah so if it's a lie it's like that lie kind of bit them in the butt or it could be the truth I mean I would imagine that if you're making homemade Rockets it's you'll take any kind of piping you can get your hands on whether that's sprinkler lines water lines from the EU whether those are copper lines in a home probably not packs that's flexes a little too much what do you guys think on the the rising minor strikes on us bases around the Middle East because we've seen that I just saw it on the on the news wire come across that the United States is seeing an increased attacks on US military bases do you think but when you say minor attacks we're not talking children we're not talking about gold miners you're talking about small attacks like drone strikes like like attempted drone attacks yeah I mean this is this is the hot bed of what who who is a Dio who said the hot world or whatever right this is how the tension flows those attacks remember I think are getting more coverage now than ever because of what's going on but they they those always happen our bases always get attacked uh in the middle be in the Middle East it's just a matter of how much are we actually responding to these and I guess a lot of it's coming from Iran is what we found uh yeah well for sure for sure source of instability over there okay so then we've got uh Bitcoin it also by the way looks like we do have a an update here on the house Speaker election emmer uh leads as House Republicans meet to choose a nominee so uh Tom emmer of Minnesota number three house Republican emerged from a crowded field on Tuesday as his party's leading uh as he's the party's latest leading Contender for speaker uh after multiple closed door votes all right very well so a little bit little little bit of progress imagine that in Congress although nothing how many weeks have we been out without a speaker I don't even want to know okay uh Bitcoin so Bitcoin uh bitcoin's like almost basically doubled this year to the Moon yeah it's been going to the moon so let's hear it yeah I mean today I I can recheck the numbers now but when I checked about an hour ago it was up 12% in the last 24 hours uh in the last week it was up over 20% almost 30% the last year and then about like 80% uh in the past one year ethereum's up to a lot of cryptocurrencies up but uh Bitcoin especially and this is uh you probably know more about this than I do but the potential ETF that's coming up has sprung a lot of Demands and even Reuters reported on this and it's saying that Bitcoin shorts are getting squeezed yep black rock is among several major US Financial firms with pending applications for ETFs uh and then a quote I have from Reuters here is speculation on their likely approval was fueled by black Rock's ey shares ETF listing on the website of clearing house dtcc it was unclear when or Why the i shares ETF was added to the dtcc list uh they and black rock did not immediately respond to request for comment per Reuters in anticipation also grew after reports this month including from Reuters that the SEC won't appeal a Court ruling that it had been wrong to reject an ETF application from crypto Firm grayscale Investments on Monday the court formalized its ruling sending the application back to the SEC for review yeah uh you know what I think is so fascinating is I I think the the SEC has tried to do everything they can to delay uh making any kind of you know creating any kind of regulatory environment around Bitcoin uh and that's because they're probably just waiting for Congress to tell them exactly what to do you know who's going to take control is it is it the SEC is it the Commodities uh future trading commission who is it the the problem you have here is the longer it takes the regulation the more you get ftxs and voyagers and block fies and these disasters and the more you get these speculative bubbles this is good uh I don't think anybody should look at this Bitcoin ETF and think that it's a bad thing I think this is fantastic uh I think it will this this is my speculation but my speculation is you'll probably get an initial surge of adoption in these ETFs and uh along with a short squeeze you're going to get an initial price rise I probably wouldn't buy uh Bitcoin right off the back of this sort of ETS stuff the I think the perfect time to to probably buy Bitcoin which trades like risk asset is Right basically when rates start getting cut and that's probably true of all risk assets whether it's like Tesla or Bitcoin or whatever it's clearly a risk asset I want to hear your guys's opinion but that's that's my take is probably when the best time is and I think you have time between now when the ETF hype Fades and when rates start getting cut to actually get into BTC because when you have hype and shorts getting squeezed you create a temporary overvalue valuation and I'm not here to say that oh it's going to crash or this that or whatever but you probably you probably want to get CU this is not official yet it's just looking like it's coming you'll get the official announcement then what you're going to get is a lot of news and data about the initial inflows how many millions of dollars are going into these ETFs how many more ETFs are going to get green lit uh and and I think you'll kind of get like a bleed out of attention on this but over time as more and more investors are like great I don't have to worry about a hardware wallet I don't have to worry about you know a blockfi going bankrupt or whatever I can now get safe access to bitcoin rates are starting to get cut I want more exposure to this risk asset you get a slow increase of diversification in people's portfolio to crypto especially after the total failure of the 6040 portfolio over the last year stocks and bonds complete wreck people like oh you're Diversified if you're 6040 bull crap it did nothing for you this last year you were a double loser if you were 6040 so now I think people want to be exposed exposed to okay I'm not going to be that concentrated anymore in just stocks or bonds I need my exposure to maybe it's crypto maybe it's real estate which reminds me we have a November 1st a deadline for investing in house Haack go to house act.com my real estate startup learn all about it read the offering circular because this video can't be a solicitation but house.com as the offering circular read about investing in house Haack the deadline to invest for 2023 is November 1st 11:59 p.m.
so go check that out what do you guys think I'm trying to think if big coin like how do you even as I mean obviously as a port a portfolio manager yourself how do you even analyze this with the the thesis of pricing power does Bitcoin have pricing power can you argue for or against pricing power with Bitcoin I think you can argue as Bitcoin more as a of a hedge uh so you could look at it as like a we said that in 2021 no no no I didn't say inflation hedge uh I I think you can look at it as as like a diversifier to to uh you know uh I mean look I think it's but the point the point that I'm making is you can't say that uh I think a commodity or whatever Bitcoin is is is really something that has pricing power because it is something that you set up as a diversifier so it's what is it a diversifier from it's not a diversifier from risk it's a multiplier to risk but is it potentially a diversifier to uh you know a um you know a crash in consumer staples or Staples go down maybe your risk assets go up is it a diversifier to dollar to currencies yes yeah absolutely so not maybe even necessarily just the dollar but maybe you're invested in your own currency at home because you have a lot of Euros in your bank account you're like I want to diversify away from Euros so I'm going to put my money into BTC so I think uh if you're looking at it from which is your question like uh uh how do you put it into a pricing power portfolio I think you put it into the percentage that's like the Hedge basket gotta yeah and you're not necessarily hedging pricing power stocks which could be risk asset stocks cuz it's like an amplifier that you're hedging something else currency risk I think it be really advantageous for um not inflation though that didn't work no no that did not work non us investors if you're wanting exposure to a regulated currency that's not your own or you don't necessarily want the dollar it seems like an okay alternative like an I something to to look at yeah and and I wouldn't I I I I do think the near-term hype cycle has some risk to to slowing down but here's the thing when we get to Peak rates and the FED starts relaxing Bitcoin will do just as well as risk assets how does this affect the balance sheets of companies that like Tesla has a couple handful millions of dollars in Bitcoin they still have they didn't sell they sell all of it out yeah I mean obviously it's good the price go up you know good thing does Tesla dump now like if price go up or do you think they use it as like a currency hedge too to like do they I what do they do with it I think Tesla holding Bitcoin is Elon being Elon you know it's like his version of marketing uh so I I I don't know I also don't know that it matters so much I think that what matters is that uh because like Bitcoin go up Tesla stock go up that's those are not necessarily because you know Tesla stock doesn't necessarily go up because bitcoin's going up it's just when bitcoin's going up it's going to be because risk assets are going up and Tesla is a risk asset uh interest or stocks that are growth companies are risk assets growth companies benefit from lower interest rates the best time to launch a Bitcoin ETF is when interest rates Peak that might be right now that might be right now oh boy that's interesting you got any thoughts Mikey yeah short term there could be risk like you said to the hype with all this stuff happening like don't don't I'm I'm not your guys's financial adviser or investment advisor but uh when things kind of get hyped up because of rumors and things like that I know they say buy the rumors sell the news but that usually works if you're pretty early on the rumor too with that said Bitcoin tends to have these fouryear cycles that we've seen before too and and I think the best time in general to buy Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general is when it's not sexy and when people aren't talking about it when people are going back to saying this is a scam this will never work that's the time so these last couple years where nothing's really happened that's the time soon as you're seeing it on the news and you're getting calls from like your grandparents and your aunts and uncles going like you should buy Bitcoin I bought this bit sell that's the time to sell yeah that's so funny I mean that's I feel first of all I think you're 100% right second of all I I keep telling myself you know I was talking to somebody just the other day about Tesla they're like oh so you know if you take a Tesla on a road trip what do you have to probably uh stop in charge for like four hours every so often right and like you mean like 30 minutes and you're like 80% nearly like what it's gotten that people have no freaking idea how great these tesas are and what I tell myself is I sell Tesla stock when everybody says Teslas are great and I like charging is great that's when you sell you don't sell Tesla stock before you get this mainstream adoption of EVS cuz you're not there yet it's the same thing what you're saying with Bitcoin when everybody's talking about it that's when you're near Peak yeah it's actually a good point the dtcc.com website just went down because so many people are going to check wow that's a big uh organization that's my presumption of why it would be down is because they're being swarmed by inqueries but dtcc.com is down or they're getting dosed true you know about this dsing what's going on here heard of this yeah well D handshake SSL handshake failed cloudflare Cloud flare says LA's working browser working host error so this is a a certificate issue between the edge which is cloudflare and the the origin web server basically their SSL certificates probably expired or invalidated for some reason and they haven't put it back up yet wow can you try forcing it over HTTP do HTTP call and then dcc's website with the S without the S without the S okay okay okay still nothing still nothing dtcc.com that way at least you'll bypass SEC not secure yeah yeah so I'm going to continue to site yeah uh pin will wow so a Dos that that has like a malicious implication like a DOS is when something gets taken down because one person sends a bunch of requests over to the server and basically shuts it down a dods is a distributed denial of service so it's when either me and M and all of our friends are attacking the same Source or if I'm using a botn net or something like that in this case it basically works just like a Dos it's everybody around the world's trying to connect at the same exact time and that's overwhelming the server and it's just shutting now going I can't handle this amazing so is it Mal like if you had an error is it malicious or do you think a lot of people are just curious it's it's probably the the ladder yeah people are all just trying to connect and it's overwhelming the well you have to remember the dtcc is a website that is for clearing brokerages clearing firms how many freaking clearing firms are there in the country not at least two at least two yeah yeah yeah okay so maybe like a few dozen right so like if there are a few dozen clearing firms that need the services of the dtcc how often does their website get visited you know it's been getting visited by us a lot not because of Bitcoin but other things but it's very rare that somebody's like oh I'm waking up and I want to be a customer of the dtcc now everybody's like dtcc d the entire Bitcoin and crypto Community you know everybody wants to see it there I wonder if because of that people have found vulnerabilities in the website because it is such not a public facing website that maybe it is a malicious I don't know generally the the facing part of the of the website is going to be totally separate from the backend stuff that happens which is why like I'm sure these like people are still able to clear these transactions just fine 100% you can't visit the stock market would be halted right now they clear like 70 plus% of stock market transactions like when you trade um guarantee it your trades have gone through them uh so uh yeah no the stock market would be shut down right now if the dtcc servers were actually failing so I think I think it's what you said it's this volume yeah yeah it's actually other words Apple just announced an online event called scary fast plann for
