[00:00:18] Speaker B: This is another Money Show. Get set for another hour of the latest financial information and economic news affecting your bottom line. J.R. and Anthony are committed to helping more Americans like you optimize their income, red their tax risk and reach financial freedom. So let's start the show. Here are your hosts Anthony Correo and Junior Rochford.
[00:00:42] Speaker C: Here we are, your hosts Anthony Correo, Jr. Rochford taking a break from our day to day as financial advisors with Rochford and Associates fully independent fourth generation family office right here in Sun City to bring you information you may not find on those other financial shows. We are the where the last thing you need is another money show. But we appreciate you being here and we're not going to talk about crypto this episode.
I'm still so upset.
[00:01:09] Speaker A: I'm only getting if you tell me not to and moving on. So and don't forget to mention the one and only Sam Davis. I mean you know me and you are the ones babbling. But Sam keeps charge of the clock. Sam looks up stuff where we're talking once in a while. Sam pops up the old US debt clock.org to remind folks that we have 36.0.2 trillion in debt. So don't forget to mention Sam. He's with us every week too. So our mission on this show, if you've been listening for any length of time, you know our goal is to make sure you are prepared, not scared. We want you proactive, not reactive. This is not another money show. We are not doing a financial one hour long infomercial. Our whole thing is to sound alarms. This shows on current events and how they may affect your finances and your future and your life and your grandkids and so forth. Today we have pretty much nothing but current event articles. It was a very busy week. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this in one hour. I will tell you something. I will tell you something.
The more I read this week, I mean I don't think I got much work done other than getting ready for the show because it was just so full. So one of the things that I will jump to right away we brought to you, I don't know, last year a couple of times we talked about the BOI which is the beneficial ownership information. If you have an LLC or a partnership, if you're self employed through the. What is it? The CTA, the Corporate Transparency Act. You have until January 1st of 2025 to do some reporting. If you haven't heard, we have kind of good news. I think it's on hold. A judge, a court in Texas put it on hold saying it's not constitutional. It's. Yeah, it's. So anyway, so nationwide, it's on hold. Could it come back? Yes, and we'll keep you posted if we hear that because we have to do it too. But for right now, it's on hold.
[00:03:15] Speaker C: Of course, they did that right after I finally filled it out.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Literally.
[00:03:21] Speaker C: I don't. I don't want to deal with this, but $500 a day fine, that's absolutely insane.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: It doesn't make sense. And government, you know, mind your own house, you know.
[00:03:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:32] Speaker A: 500. Who are you? You work for me. I'm going to fine you $500 a day if you keep the debts and the deficits problematic. Oh, there we go. No, I mean $500 a day jail time. Ooh, you're scary. No, it was that.
[00:03:47] Speaker C: Trying to be a small business owner.
[00:03:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. You know what? You don't find the Chinese people with biohazard labs in California. We're going to get to a little story on drones because that's pretty much all I'm hearing today. And you can't find out what that is, but you can find me as a sole proprietorship. It's annoying and insane, but anyway, it's on hold, so that's. Goodness. And it literally got its stay of execution the day after Anthony did his. So that's kind of funny. And I was about to do mine. But if you're a procrastinator, good on you because it worked out this time. So that's a good thing. Let's move on a little bit. And you know what? Government. Government, you. All you have to do is go to the corporation commission and you can look up who owns my company. Like, why do I have to report as directly to you? But that's just. All right. I should let it go. We've said our piece. So. Speaking of. Speaking of, have you ever, you know, speaking of government intrusion and ridiculous. Anthony, have you. Have you ever heard of the gec, The Global Engagement Center?
[00:04:50] Speaker C: I have not.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Well, I sent you an article on it this week, so I trust you didn't read it, which I'm fine with that. I sent you a ton of I read half.
[00:04:58] Speaker C: I think half.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: It was like article Russian Roulette. Anthony May re.
[00:05:02] Speaker C: Oh, it is the one I didn't. Oh wait, no, that's not it. I don't think you sent me anything. Anyways, tell me about it now.
[00:05:08] Speaker A: I did, but here we go. So activist post. This is kind of like a another zero hedge. It's mostly like end of the world stuff. It's negative stuff, but it's all true. You know, I started verifying zero hedge years ago and I couldn't poke holes in it. Doing the same thing with activist post. This One is from the 10th of December. Today is the 12th of December as we record.
So anyway, from the 10th State Department scrambles to scuttle $100 million censorship network before Trump takes office. I didn't know what that meant, so I read further. I will give you a little piece of this. The State Department revealed in a Monday filing that they are abs. They are, I'm sorry, substantially likely to shut down their hundred million dollar global engagement center. Talk about corporate transparency. Which was revealed in early 2023 to have been funding a disinformation tracking group which worked to pressure advertisers to demonetize outlets it accuses of spreading disinformation. $100 million of our tax dollars are going to the government agency that's basically saying if you're and I'm going to boil it down for you kids, if you're on the left side of the political aisle, you're fine. If you're on the right side of the political aisle, you are a lying sack of Joe and we are going to come after you. So this I'll just, I'll give you a couple examples. Here's a column. They have this article and it shows on one side the least risky sites. Anthony, see if you can figure out if this is the left side of the aisle or the right side least risky sites. Npr, AP News. I think some of our tax dollars are still going to npr, by the way. Talk about funneling the New York Times, ProPublica, Insider, USA Today, the Washington Post, Buzzfeed News, Wall Street Journal, and huffpost. Now let's get on the other side of their column to the riskiest sites. New York Post, Reason Magazine, Real Clear Politics, the Daily Wire, the Blaze, One America News Network, the American Conservative, the Federalist Newsmax, and the American Spectators. So your tax dollars are going to make sure some publications, some newspapers, some websites are more easily seen and credible than others. And those are the people that want me to file Information on my little sole proprietorship. You know what the good thing is, Doge? The good thing is Elon Musk is going to come in and clean house. Which reminds me, I found another article from the Zero Hedge on 9 December, 10 outrageous taxpayer funded higher education research projects Doge can investigate. So I'm moving from the government being absolutely crooked to maybe us cleaning up the government. Anthony, do you remember last year and perhaps a year before, we read to people a little bit from Rand Paul's the Festivus Report comes out every year, should be out right around now. It's usually like the middle of December. The year's, you know, worth of ridiculousness comes out. We'll have to look for that. But here's a. Until we find it, here's a good one for you. So the House Education Committee on Education and the Workforce is set to work with the Department of Government Efficiency, the doge, to cut back waste and fraud in higher education. I'm going to read to you real quickly the top 10 things that our education systems are paying money for. Number one, gambling for pigeons. The National Institute of Health, the NIH granted $465,339 to research at Reed College in Portland, Oregon to create a token based economy where pigeons are taught to gamble with slot machines. All right. Pretty fun. Well, it gets better. Number two, chimps throwing feces. The US Institute of Health spent 592,000 at Emory University in Atlanta. Isn't that your backyard, Sam Davis in Atlanta to explore why chimpy and Z's throw feces. Another 117,000 was necessary to conclude that most chimps are right handed. That's really good to know. Number three, Drunken finches. Wasn't that your nickname in college, Anthony? Drunken Finches? The National Institute of Health gave $5 million to the Oregon Health and Science University to study finches if they slurred their songs when alcohol was in their system.
Number four, bees on cocaine. I've seen Cocaine Bear. I like how this movie is going to be made. So the National Institute of health funded over 240,000 to study the impact of cocaine on honeybees. That was at the University of Illinois. And it says here, with cocaine in their system, the bees were more likely to dance. Well, you know, I mean, I could have told you that for free, but nobody asked me if they had just.
[00:10:49] Speaker C: Studied Ruin ford in the 80s.
[00:10:53] Speaker A: All they have to do is like watch a bunch of 80s movies. We all dance on cocaine.
I'll try to go faster on this Number five, shrimp on treadmills. This one was funded by the National Science foundation. Attitude of 1.3 million. They actually put shrimp on tiny treadmills.
Basically said they wanted to check to see if the shrimp got sick and it affected their mobility. Number six, $500,000 to see if selfies make you happy. So here's one actually on people instead of shrimp and bees and finches and so forth. So and the bottom line, the four week study found taking selfies boosted participants mood. Very good, very good. So guess what I'm going to do right after the show. Number seven, secret language of French butchers.
This one's only $30,000 but they want to study to basically see if butchers in France had some sort of a lingo and an inside talking I. This is insane. Number eight, bee sting pain. The National Science foundation funded $1 million to research at Cornell University.
Let me skip ahead. Spoiler alert. The places that the most pain is felt from a bee sting is nostrils, upper lip and genitals. So it says. Here's the reacher. Researcher endured roughly 200 bee stings. Are you actually signed up to have bees sting your genitals? Good for you. You deserve that $1 million if you ask me. The National Science foundation awarded $3.6 million to a study at Bo Doin College in Maine. They should do a study on changing their name if you want my opinion. Anyway, so it says here researchers discover that when given sex steroids male gold. How do you tell if a goldfish is male or female? I guess they did a study on that last year. Male goldfish exhibited more social behavior behavior and swarm closer to their female counterparts. I think it's the same way with people. This is enough to read. AI toilets. The National Cancer Institute funded nearly $7 million to researchers at Stanford University to build an AI toilet. So bottom line here, Doge chiefs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy can push Congress to launch through an investigation into these questionable expenditures. I really hope you do, Elon. I hope you're ready to look into some of this because that is done. Moving on. While I was getting dressed and ready for the show this morning, I caught a quick episode from Salty Cracker, one of my favorite YouTube stars. I will warn you, if you're sensitive to language, adult language, do not look up Salty Cracker if bad language doesn't bother you. He's pretty funny. Pretty timely apparently. 323 vials of deadly bio lab hazardous material has been is found missing in Australia. They don't know where it went, I can probably tell you they probably sold it to China or Russia or whatever. But anyway, and I, and I just found it interesting because I had two articles ready for today. I still think between now and the 20th of January, we're not out of the woods for a disease X and it's been awfully quiet in that realm. So Zero Hedge on the 9th of December put out an article Here comes the Disease X outbreak. A mysterious illness in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been dubbed Disease X. There have been over 400 cases and up to 143 deaths linked to the illness since late October, according to Bloomberg. On Sunday, the World Health Organization provided an update on disease X indicating the illness has been reported in the Quango Province in the southwest part of Central African country. So how does that affect me? How does disease X affect me?
One more thing from this article. The cause of disease X remains unknown and comes just as President Elect Trump is set to re enter the White House next year. There's how it affects me. Could it get on a plane and make its way to D.C. or Detroit, Michigan or Phoenix, Arizona? Of course it can. It's. It could be an election disease, but that's pretty tinfoil ahead of me. So let me get you a little closer to home. So the here's from Zero Hedge on 8 December, bird flu, the next pandemic is right on schedule.
I don't know why I laugh at all these things, because all of this could be literally deadly serious. But it's just, it's so funny how, you know, truth is so much weirder than fiction. So we haven't. This is according to the Zero Hedge article on the 8th. We haven't published anything about bird flu since June. There have. There hasn't been much to say. Nevertheless, I still regularly comb through journals and news sites ensuring we don't miss anything potentially important. The establishment has been signposting the next pandemic since before COVID sidled off the world stage. Pandemic preparedness has been a buzz phrase at all the in governmental panels and UN summits for at least two years. All the indications were that bird flu was the appointed successor, but it's come to nothing so far. The key is so far. So this article was on 8th December. Guess what I read yesterday on 11th December? Animals at the Wildlife World Zoo. So this hits a little close to home to us. They. They have had to euthanize some animals. They, they haven't said what if it's birds or Monkeys. If it's jumped to other species, I don't know. But they had to euthanize animals at the Wildlife World Zoo right in our own backyard. Apparently, people can still go to the zoo, but they can't come in contact with any animals. They can't get as close as they used to. So that's going on right now. Two humans tested positive on Friday 6th December, and they went into quarantine for the bird flu. So it seems to me like, since we still have, I don't know, what, five or six weeks left before the inauguration, that you better keep your eye on this stuff and I won't bore you with reading too much. Why hasn't the bird flu pandemic happened yet? What are they waiting for? And it says, well, Donald Trump, apparently, amongst other things. This isn't speculation, it's definite messaging. And it looks like some sort of narrative about Trump failing to do enough or the right things to handle the crisis might be in the offing. So, and to sum it up, it basically says this might not happen before the installation or inauguration, but it will happen shortly after to make sure we know that we're in a better position under Biden than we are Trump. So keep your eyes open. Disease X Marburg. I've been saying that, been dripping that over the last couple of years, that that is a possibility. And all of a sudden the news is starting to wake up again on it. So very weird. And it's, it's very, you know, when I basically, Anthony, we've talked about how there's always something to worry about. I'm like, never this many at once. This week is all about, like a flurry of things to worry about, you know, the next thing I want to.
[00:19:00] Speaker C: Get every week, though.
[00:19:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:02] Speaker C: But don't act like this is anything different than every other show we've had for the last two and a half years.
[00:19:07] Speaker A: It seems, it, it, I've been, it's been a little bit more. I had to find stuff a little more right now. I, all I have to do is like, you know, turn on my YouTube channels. I, it's, I don't know, it seems like more. So let's get to the biggie. The thing that seems to be all over. We brought it up last week, we told you, we've got a friend in New Jersey that we've been talking to about these big drones and they've had 50 sightings. Well, apparently today they had 60 sightings, I guess in the last day at a water treatment facility.
It's growing legs. It's getting pretty scary.
Uh, let's see here. One article if you. If you want to look this up. Activist post from the 11th just yesterday. Alert. The east coast is being buzzed by very sophisticated giant drones every night that go dark when approached by US Aircraft. So in a. In a. Related to this article I read the feds arrested a Chinese national on 9 December flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base. I may have a little trouble with his name. Ying Pao Zhao Zhu, arrested in San Francisco before boarding a flight to China, was arrested.
So according to this activist post article, enormous mystery drones are buzzing rooftops and flying freely through the skies in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. And our government is powerless to stop it. As I discussed yesterday, these drones have been spotted over military facilities, water reservoirs, transportation hubs, police departments and other sensitive installations. But even though some of these drones are the size of cars, and even though they are buzzing at rooftop level, in some cases we can't seem to track them effectively. And when our aircraft do approach, they go dark and disappear. What in the world is going on? So let's talk about drones for a second. One of the things I thought, well, New Jersey, New York, you know those places. How does that affect me? I'm in Arizona. So that's your problem, not mine. Apparently, as I do some digging, our own, Our own Arizona Family Channel 3. I found a video yesterday. We've had drones that are. That are getting in the way of our military aircraft. Like at Barry Goldwater range, one drone actually hit a plane. But apparently there's, There's a problem. And my first question with all of this drone stuff, I mean, we spend so much money on our defense budget and you really don't know who these are? You don't know. You know, one lawmaker came out either yesterday or the day before and said that there's a Iranian mothership off of the east coast and these things on the east coast are being released from a mothership to do, you know, recon or whatever and then go back to the ship.
Shoot it down. I'm lost. Find this thing, shoot it down. Shoot down these drones. Well, you can't shoot them down. What if they land on a house or what if they're, you know, full of gas? I. I don't know. I just, you know, this seems to be problem that problematic. The ones in Arizona are only by the Air Force, you know, the sorties. I, I don't know what's being tested here. And. Anthony, are you hearing a lot about this, or is it just because I'm always looking for stuff to hear.
[00:22:50] Speaker C: I've seen bits on the news, but I haven't followed it closely.
[00:22:55] Speaker A: Well, it's weird and I just. I don't know how a sophisticated Pentagon and military like ours can't get to the bottom of this. And at least the awareness a lot of the lawmakers are talking about.
[00:23:07] Speaker C: Maybe they have and you don't need to know.
[00:23:10] Speaker A: That's a great question. So let's see here. I want to read one more little piece from this article. Either Russia, China, or another one of our enemies has drone technology that we cannot defend against. Or these drones originate from a source that is not human.
[00:23:30] Speaker C: I love that and I love that aliens are now a part of these talks.
[00:23:35] Speaker A: I do too. I'm kind of excited. As I have discussed extensively, there have been a dramatic increase in the sightings of unidentified aircraft all over the world in recent years. At this point, it's becoming very clear that something truly unusual is happening. As for the enormous drones that are invading our airspace night after night, hopefully it will turn out that there is a simple explanation. But for now, mystery drones continue to brazenly buzz the east coast during their nightly visits and people are really getting scared. So we have a minute before break time. Let me give you another article. This One is from November 14th. I hung onto this nugget till I had time to get to it. This is from my American Legion. This is from legion.org UAP are real Congress pushes quest for transparency on UFOs the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday pushed its probe into UFOs. They pushed their probe and UFOs.
Okay, I'm not going to make jokes about probing so and the secrecy surrounding them. With a hearing aimed at forcing more transparency from the government, particularly the Pentagon. We know that there are objects or phenomena observed in our airspace and also possibly in our oceans, said Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the committee's National Security panel. The American people have legitimate questions and I believe it's critical that Congress should help address them. The hearing was the latest effort by House lawmakers to shine a light on the work of the Defense Department's All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or the AARO, which was created in 2022 to investigate sightings of UFOs and standardized data collection. In March, the AARO released a report finding no evidence that government was hiding evidence. So the government found no evidence that the government was hiding evidence of alien spaceship or technology and said most cases of UFO sightings could be explained as optical illusions, airborne trash or drones.
Very last thing to read here. The office's inability to solve or identify some reports of UFOs also called unidentified anomalous phenomena. Anomalous, I don't know what that word means by the government has fueled speculation of a cover up and the Fed's growing. You know the banks, the banks always say they, they found they did no wrongdoing. You know, the banks investigate themselves. I'm sure TD Ameritrade is going to pay their $3 billion fine. Oh, and pass that along to the consumer and, and say, well, we didn't do anything wrong. You know, things happen and we'll pay the fine but we didn't do anything wrong. We've investigated ourselves and we've determined that we are stellar above approach, squeaky clean, white shirted.
[00:26:40] Speaker C: It was really nice of them though to investigate themselves like that.
[00:26:43] Speaker A: Yes. And apparently there's nothing wrong. So you crazy people that are seeing drones or UFOs or unidentified stuff, you're crazy. It's an optical illusion.
With that said, why don't we go from aliens to break time and see what happens out there. We will be back. But in the meantime, if you'd like to give us show ideas or ask us questions or set up an appointment to get a second opinion on your financial matters, we are at 623-523-0444 or if you want to go as far as to put in writing, email us
[email protected]. we'll be right back. And we just thank you for being here.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: At Rochford and Associates. We know you've worked hard to earn your money and you've worked even harder to save it. When it comes to wealth management and Planning for retirement, J.R. rochford and his team of specialists have been helping individuals, families and business owners find financial freedom at their veteran owned firm for more than 25 years. Give us a call now at 623-523-0444. That's 623-523-0444.
[00:28:04] Speaker A: Welcome back to another money show. Thank you so much for being with us. So we say it all time but I mean we appreciate you, you all listening. We appreciate you telling people about us, people that go onto the YouTube channel. We need your help. We always say we're little fish in a big pond. It's, you know, a lot of people that do what we do, they go on the radio and they do a weekly or daily or whatever, they do an infomercial it's all about financial stuff in order to get you into their office. And the end goal when companies, when people have enough pressure and quotas, it's just how to sell, sell, sell. We are a little bit different. We've always sold, sold, sold enough to make a living. Our office has stayed open. I've been there for 27 years, so I know it's been successful. But I can tell you what, if we can help people, we're all about that. But our goal is to educate people. Our goal, I mean, we, we say all the time we want to do education over sales. We want to do planning over product. I mean, we re. We are different. So. And with that said, I mean, we've done this show, believe it or not, this upcoming March, just a few months out, will be three years. We've done this. We have no sponsors. We have done this by ourselves to sound alarms. Could this have been more profitable of an endeavor for us if we would try to focus on sales and make it infomercial? Yes, yes, it would. And my whole thing by saying this, whether it's your New Year's resolution, whether it's quiet around the holiday time, so you want to sit with us. We, we do still want to help you with your finances. I mean, this show is about current events and sounding alarms. But at the end of the day, we do want to meet all of you that are listening one at a time. Preferably. We do have a smaller office than not so. But do keep in mind, we'd love to be a second opinion if you've got an old 401 case sitting there, if we've piqued your interest at all in the little bits we've shared about generational wealth transfer, you know, so let us know. Lifetime income. We want to help you. One person, one couple, one family at a time, when you're ready. But that's great. Financial. Yep, yep, yep, yep. But let's move on to more end of the world stuff because that's a lot of what I read this week. You know, during the break, Sam and Anthony had talked for a bit. And the drone thing, I don't know how to take this because in a way, like, I want to kind of find it funny. I heard this morning that this, this woman, you know, well, a few people are saying these drones are the size of a car. Then I heard an suv. I heard this morning somebody say the drone they saw was the size of an F150 pickup truck. That's not funny. If that falls. Oh, and I still check out if it falls on your house, that, that this could be problematic. If these things are Chinese, we let balloons go over the country. You know, I mean, that's big and bulky. We didn't shoot that down. So I, if these are from China and they are looking at, you know, putting a poison into our water systems, this country is going to fold. So this, this could be potentially deathly serious. So I think, I don't know, I think we need answers and sooner than later. But I don't know, I mean, as much as I, I try to still, you know, I cover heavy stuff and I try to make it a little bit lighter and airier on this show, but I mean, this thing, I don't know, it's just weird. So drones, I mean, and I don't have really a lot of better news around the world. I mean, I've been watching governments collapse. If you're watching right now around the world, France, Syria, Georgia, Germany, South Korea, politically, financially, these countries are in dire straits. We're in dire straits. We just don't know it yet. I mean, this, this country is floundering. You know, when, when Trump got elected, I don't know, two days after Biden administration, they, they relieved some sanctions and pledged $10 billion to Iran. It didn't really make it to the news. I read it because I scour things that are not the Alphabet agency, you know, six o'clock at night news channels and $10 billion. These are the people that want us dead. What if these drones are Iranian? What if that lawmaker is right and there's a mothership, a mother ship on the east coast and these drones are going to attack us. Iran just got $10 billion in the last few weeks released. So they could work on that. They're always working on their nuclear capabilities. So onto the money part of things a little bit. When I talk about collapsing governments, I read the GDP, the debt to GDP ratios on the G7 countries. This should scare you a hair. Japan, 255% debt to GDP. That means they're in debt by two and a half times what they're worth. Italy, 139% debt to GDP ratio. USA, we're number three. Yay. USA, 123%. So we need life insurance for the country. We're worth way more dead than we are alive. So we are 123. France, 112% and they are collapsing right now. Canada, one, our neighbors to the north, the playground above us, the hat to our head. Canada, you're 105% broke. So. Oh, and have you heard, Anthony, that Canada's banning tons, hundreds of guns. They're itemizing, they're naming guns that they are banning. And I thought, well, that's, that's very, you know, I hope they never do that here because the only thing that keeps this country free is our second amendment.
[00:34:05] Speaker C: Our be the 52nd state soon. Right.
[00:34:09] Speaker A: That's what Trump said. He's going to make a mistake. I think they'll be 52 and Mexico will be 53. Hell yeah, bring it on. And, and we need to tax the heck out of them. I so Canada. So I thought it was odd Sam said Trudeau cannot take my Red Rifle BB gun. You're right. But be careful, Sam. It's the holiday. You're going to shoot your eye out. Be careful with that thing. You're Red Rider. So Canada, you're, you're seizing guns. And I think that people should say no. But I'm not up in Canada, so you know what they're doing with the guns. I find this just too amazing to be true. They are shipping the guns to Ukraine.
Crickets and crickets, Sam. They are shipping. Say that again.
[00:34:55] Speaker C: I want to make sure I heard you correctly.
[00:34:56] Speaker A: They're banning guns in Canada and they're not destroying them like they did in Detroit when they had a buyback like they did in Cincinnati. They are sending them to Ukraine.
Ukraine is going to be. By the time you hear this episode we record on Thursday, you probably don't hear this till Friday night or Saturday or Sunday when it re airs on Nine60 the Patriot at one o'clock in the afternoon. So. So Ukraine might be a different place. But then Russia is imminently vowing a retaliation attack against Ukraine from the atacms that the Ukrainians launched that were our doing. So we'll see. I mean that region's still kind of chaotic over there.
Oh, and the one last G7 country that's in trouble, but not nearly as bad is Germany. Germany is the, the best of the bunch in the G7 at 64% debt to GDC GDP. I don't know.
[00:36:00] Speaker C: GDC is, I mean, that's one, one measurement, seeing as they've been in trouble for a very long time too, financially.
[00:36:09] Speaker A: You're right. Look at Deutsche Bank. I remember in 2017, I believe it was December around Christmas time, I think it was 2017. Deutsche bank was day to day on a watch list to default, close the doors, be gone. And they still are. Yeah, they're out again saying they're in deep trouble.
And it's, it's. Well then, Jared, you know, it's. People are right when they say there's always been something to worry about. I know, I know, I know I've been early. I still am going to cling to the fact that I've never been wrong, things are going the wrong way. So, and, and I do want to get to January 20th. That's my next benchmark milestone to feel a little better about the world around me. You know, when I bring up disease X and avian flu hitting the Wildlife World Zoo, I mean, I want to get to the inauguration day. And then I hope that we kind of start working on the tariffs, we start trying to bring back manufacturing, we start digging and drilling and fracking and doing pipelines. I hope we start getting on track again to make this country somewhat self sufficient. The tariffs might be painful at first. The cost of goods and service are inevitably going to go up. But if we can start making our medicines in the United States instead of China, I think for you, Anthony, and you, Sam, I think it's going to be a good thing. I mean, I believe that, you know, we had successful tariffs since the 1700s. I mean, this country, you know, over the last five, six decades, we've just gone downhill so fast and we don't understand that. We were the world's police, we were the world's economic engine, we were the world's powerhouse on how a country should grow. And now it's like we're doing anything we can to shrink and go away. So. And why do I see so many things so clearly wrong? You know, why don't other people. I'll dust off my Wikipedia version. You know, I haven't read this in a while and I should read it every single episode because you need to look into it. If you're not familiar with the psychological term normalcy bias, you should be. So, according to Wikipedia, normalcy bias is a cognitive bias which leads people to disbelieve or minimize threat warnings. Consequently, individuals underestimate the likelihood of a disaster when it might affect them and its potential adverse effects. The normalcy bias causes many people to not adequately prepare for natural disasters, market crashes, and calamities caused by human error. It's also known as the ostrich effect. You know, what if things are really weird and things are really bad? It's a lot easier to not listen to this show, for example, because we point out there's a lot that you're not getting on those other financial shows, let alone your nightly News, it's easier to turn on. I can't believe I'm gonna say this word. You know, last night it was on one of the TVs in our home, the. The Masked Singer. A lot easier to watch that. Liquid cocaine for bees. So, I mean, everything going on these drones, I'll tell you what, if you live in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, if you're on the east coast and you're seeing this stuff and nobody that is supposed to keep you safe, who's in charge of the borders? Mayorkas that that's who you're going to trust to get to the bottom of the drones. That's really who the bottom line. That's who needs to get to the bottom of this. Get the Pentagon involved, you know, get the Secret Service and the CIA and the FBI and all your departments together and figure this stuff out. So anyway, you know, it's not going to do anything. So do you have extra water right now? If you're in New Jersey, they're seeing these things over the water treatment facilities. Did you go out and empty the shelves of water? Everything I read is not even addressing that. If you're from New Jersey or New York or Pennsylvania and you're listening to the show, trust me, go out today. And I'm not saying mortgage your house to do so, but get ready, you know, spend a thousand bucks and buy.
[00:40:18] Speaker C: All those Black Friday sales in for your doomsday supplies.
[00:40:22] Speaker A: Yes, you can get buckets of food with little red tops.
[00:40:25] Speaker C: Actually, that was the first time I ever learned the. The meaning behind Black Friday was last episode from you. I never heard that before very much.
[00:40:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean I had heard stuff, but that I read in. The more I read about it, it's like, it's kind of interesting knowing that that started hundreds of years ago.
[00:40:40] Speaker C: Everything is good. Marketing, that's all it is.
[00:40:42] Speaker A: Yes. Yep.
[00:40:43] Speaker C: Just like you at the end of the world, you just market in the end of the world.
[00:40:48] Speaker A: I am the end of the world. So Sam put on the screen Nick Cage movie recommendation, Lord of War. I saw that a long time ago. I need to revisit that movie.
Let's move on a little bit. So, yeah, countries are exploding, you know, when we talk about current events. Sam asked during the break if I'm going to bring up the United Healthcare CEO. I really don't want to because it. I don't know the answer to this. I mean, Anthony, you were right. If these companies are specifically to make a profit, denying care to my family and somebody dies, that's Murder. I mean, that's baloney. But what's the answer? I don't think it's kill CEOs in New York, apparently they're putting up posters. I saw a picture of a poster this morning with a woman CEO. They're putting up posters of CEOs of health companies. I don't think that's the answer. I think that people need to wake the heck up. We need to get lobbyists, health care lobbyists out of dc. We need to revamp our health care system. I don't think Canada is the answer. I mean, they're up to 30 weeks now. The wait time is 30 weeks to have surgery in Canada. That's problematic. Why do people from Canada have the money come here to have their surgeries? Why did Mick Jagger leave England? He was in England when he had a heart problem. Why did he come to New York and have his surgery here? Because the answer might not be socialized medicine, but it's not what we have, and it's not killing CEOs. So. And I mean, I've heard all the updates on the shooter. You know, I've seen the memes. I mean, some of it's pretty funny. You know, at Burger King, we don't snitch. You shouldn't have gone to McDonald's, you know, happy Meal. I've seen all these. I'm like, I don't know if it's funny or not. I just. I know it's sad that the answer to straight up this country is to kill people that are greedy. You know what? I still don't think it has anything to do with the care either. I think that was a setup. I think it has 100% to do with. That guy was supposed to testify on a DOJ investigation in. I think it was February. So I still think there's way deeper of a story behind Brian's murder. But that's just me, a friend named Randy Anthony. You know Randy? Well, Anthony said to make sure on this week's show, I bring up US patent 6470214.
So Randy sent me a little video and I watched it. And, you know, all the stuff I've said about like, you know, Hawaii, the blue roofs. I mean, I'm a conspiracy theorist when I talk about the hurricanes, you know, they were turning the wrong way this year. You know, when you look at North Carolina, by the way, if we're still giving money to Africa for railroads and to Iran to kill us, why. Why are people in North Carolina still in a tent? Where are The FEMA trailers that were supposed to be delivered there. But sideline, Malibu's on fire. You know, I didn't know that until Tuesday. Somebody was like, are you watching all this stuff in Malibu? I'm like, holy crap. I saw some of the videos and I'm like, wow. So, you know, I mean, chemtrails, all the weather manipulation. Do I think it's God, Do I think it's the government? Do I think it's just, you know, what happens? I don't know. But anyway, Randy sent me a video. And this patent from December 13th of 1996 is about directed energy weapons. So a lot of the country doesn't feel well. People are sluggish, they're tired, they're rushed, they're rude. I think what Randy wanted me to cover this for, which I just don't have time to go too deep. But I think it's like, maybe some of the stuff that's going on. We don't need the avian flu. That'll be a masking of it. Is it possible that our own government is messing with frequency waves and sounds to modify our behavior? I don't know. It real heavy. And Randy, I said to you I would bring it up. So I am. If people get a chance and they want to go a little deep down a rabbit hole kind of stuff that is not mainstream, do look up US patent 6470214 and then look up a little bit of the. The opinions on it. I mean, don't just look up the patent. The patent says yes, the government definitely. It's under the Air Force. They definitely have the tools and the permission and the rights to mess with our sounds. Do you remember when people were getting migraines in Cuba? Do you remember? And some of that happened here in this country. There were people that were unexplained. Yeah, it was real weird. That's what I think this is. I think that our country, as well as others, might have directed energy weapons that can give us migraines and make us sick and make us sleep different, you know, our sleep patterns. So that's as far as I want to go on that. But, Randy, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I didn't have enough to worry about. I am worried still between now in the 20th. I read an article from Zero Hedge on the 8th of December. Former Secret Service agent warns Trump likely to be attacked before inauguration. I guess the headline is the most thing I need to read. Says here this. This guy during a Fox News interview, Star Poli suggested Trump could face a threat of much bigger magnitude than the two assassination attempts earlier this year. Star Poli said that he is not highly confident at all that Trump can be kept safe, noting, the Secret Service that you see out there today is not the Secret Service of yesteryear. Boy, that's true. As a matter of fact, I don't think I'd be alone in saying that. I certainly can see something happening between now and Inauguration Day. He added, it's not going to be the same 20 year old kid on the roof of a building that's allowed to get within 100 yards. It's going to be something of a much bigger magnitude and I don't think the Secret Service is anywhere equipped to handle that situation. Well, these drones back to the drones today is instead of a crypto episode, it's a drone episode. So the drones are flying over his property. Apparently he's got a property. I, I don't know if it's New Jersey or New York. So some of the drones are going over his property. So that's scary.
Why don't we do this? We have a little time left. Why don't we switch gears?
[00:46:53] Speaker C: Let's talk about crypto.
[00:46:55] Speaker A: No, no. I see of time to the end. Let me have two more. Let me give you two more news cycle stories because we're current events. So let me give you two more things if we have time. We'll talk for a second about crypto.
[00:47:06] Speaker C: The hawk coin and losing half a billion dollars.
Not newsworthy. Sorry.
[00:47:14] Speaker A: Leave my hawk to a girl alone. Stop. No, no. And I know you had me in on Earth. You sent me an article. You're chomping on the bit to discuss. But let me give you two more that might be important, might not, I don't know. So here's one from Forbes from 8 December. FBI warns iPhone and Android users to stop sending texts. So apparently if you texts it's basically saying if you text people like you can still use WhatsApp. You can use signal. You can use encrypted. Even Facebook's messenger is encrypted and apparently but texts are not and they're saying that China has hacked into our system.
The let's see here. Who is the anywhere in this this article? If reach out to us if you want us to give you the article and how to find it. But it's, it's saying the name of the Chinese hacker and it's basically saying if you text from an Android phone to an Android phone you're fine if you text from an iPhone to an iPhone, you're fine if you text between the two, there's some vulnerability that they're capturing all your data and then I guess they could get into your phone and get bam bank. Who knows how bad this is? But and my question for you, I have all kinds of people text me. Nobody wants to talk anymore. It's like you can send a pigeon, you can send an email, you can send a registered letter, you can text, do not call me. Nobody wants to talk anymore. So anyway, it's what? How in the hell would I know if somebody just texted me, has an iPhone or an Android? Do I have to on all my contact lists? Do I have to put I or a next to it? So, oh, here it is. Net network cyber attacks attributed to salt typhoon A group associated with China's Ministry of public security has generated heightened concern as to the vulnerabilities within critical US communication networks. So China, if those are your drones, if this is your way to see what we're reacting to, the drones via text, I don't know what the hell's going on. But anyway, look into it. All you have to do is a quick Internet search, read two or three articles like I did and they're all going to match up saying stop texting the last one. I'm only going to bring it up. I want to just scratch the surface to tie it into finances because at least this week people that are news hounds got a lot of exposure to it. The article I printed off just to remember and talk about it was Zero Hedge on 9 December, Daniel Penney and the twilight of the race hustle. I bring this up this because how is this financial?
You know who that is, right? Daniel Penny Anthony, the guy in the subway. There was a guy in a subway that was scaring people and yelling and.
[00:50:05] Speaker C: Oh, and then the. The army guy that like took him.
[00:50:09] Speaker A: Down and got arrested and yeah, 26 year old Marine. Yep.
[00:50:13] Speaker C: Yeah, okay, I remember the story. I didn't remember his name when I'll.
[00:50:16] Speaker A: Just read this one top little part to refresh people on what this is. Were you thinking of Daniel Penny this weekend? A year and a half ago, the U. S. Marine veteran, age 26, subdued one Jordan Neely, 30, a homeless schizophrenic with a record of 42 arrests who was menacing riders on a New York City subway car. Neely was at the time a fugitive on an arrest warrant for a felony assault on a 67 year old woman. Penny applied a chokehold after Neely declared He was of mind to kill somebody on the train. Neely was still alive when the cops came, but they declined to give him CPR because he was filthy and an apparent drug user. And they feared getting AIDS or hepatitis from giving him mouth to mouth resuscitation. So Neely died there in the subway. All right, why would another money show bring this up when a lot of news agencies are talking about it? I bring it up because it's an election year. Every four years in. In Black Lives Matter was probably protesting outside of the courthouse and they were asking for vengeance. They were asking for things to get chaotic this week in Arizona. Let's bring it close to home. Maricopa county is going to pay out $6 million from a. This was, this news came out yesterday, the 11th to protesters from the 2020 BLM protest. What it is is basically 23 people got together and sued the Phoenix PD and the, the Arizona. They, they were protesting the police and so forth. And apparently we found out they really shouldn't have been arrested or whatever and they're going to get $6 million. So this, this is going to tie in. Why I bring up this story when everybody else is. So BLM is back. I haven't heard much for four years and apparently they're back. Let's see here. It kicked off in 2012 when one Trayvon Martin, 17, got shot while bashing the head of a neighborhood watch coordinator, George Zimmerman against the pavement. Okay, let me fast forward. 2014 was Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Other incidents filed in 2014, Eric Garner. So here's where I think we should watch these. The country's broke. We know that. The cities are broke. The states are broke. The city of Cleveland settled a $6 million lawsuit with the Rice family in the wrongful death suit of erin Garner In 2020, the big one, George Floyd, 46, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So the wrongful death suit for that one was $27 million with the Floyd family.
The only thing I'm bringing up here, every time all of these weird things happen, it seems like cities, states, municipalities, federal government, there's huge financial windfalls for people.
So we still have a civil. This thing with Neely. We still have a civil trial to come. We still, you know, what kind of money is the family going to get? The guy was homeless, so the family didn't care about him up until now. All of a sudden there's an opportunity to, I think I'm cynical, get a big payout. I do not think this has to do with white versus black. I think this has to have with money. The haves versus the have nots. I think this has to do with that family knows some of these other payouts and they want to jump in. We only have two minutes left Sam says. So let's talk about cryptocurrency and then.
[00:53:43] Speaker C: Octua Internet sensation Meme Giant Podcast released a bitcoin because or not a bitcoin but a cryptocurrency because they're real things that people should respect. Supposedly it was evaluated for like 490 million half a billion dollars. It quickly dropped to like 4040 million so lost 90 plus percent people have lost lost their life savings over this crypto and I just don't understand to invest in this and think it's worth investing in.
[00:54:24] Speaker A: Do not underestimate us. I thought you're going to bring up this from crypto basic.com On 4 December, US government moves $54.8 billion of Shibu Shiba Inu into a government wallet.
[00:54:43] Speaker C: Sheba's a joke of Dogecoin Dogecoin. We played the clip like three times last week where the creator said this is dumb and should never have any value. So anyways, that's it.
