Latest / V / P. Diddy: Trafficking, Blackmail, And The Fate Of The Republic (Ep.48)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report, early edition. Today,
- 0:03Speaker 1: we're going to explore whether P. Diddy was protected by
- 0:07Speaker 1: the feds like Jeffrey Epstein. The government's plan to control
- 0:11Speaker 1: our minds, Israel, exploding pagers and why they aren't cool,
- 0:17Speaker 1: but a very dangerous problem for all of us. Biden
- 0:21Speaker 1: losing it at an event with world leaders. More than
- 0:25Speaker 1: 700 high-ranking national security officials endorsed Kamala Harris. Doug Emhoff
- 0:29Speaker 1: claims it's not fair for people to criticize Kamala on
- 0:33Speaker 1: the Biden admin's failures, of which she is a part of.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Tim Walz calls for an end to the Biden admin.
- 0:39Speaker 1: The Atlantic runs to defend New York City's COVID czar
- 0:42Speaker 1: attending orgies during lockdown. And what Westminster Abbey's newest stained
- 0:47Speaker 1: glass window can teach us about modernity's cultural rot. All
- 0:52Speaker 1: this on Bongina Report, early edition. Something really frustrating about
- 1:09Speaker 1: today's day and age is the way that truth tellers
- 1:13Speaker 1: are gaslit and slandered constantly. When someone starts to discuss
- 1:19Speaker 1: things like trafficking, sexual blackmail, child abuse, they're labeled a
- 1:24Speaker 1: QAnon nutcase. And yet so many of these conspiracies turn
- 1:29Speaker 1: out to be true. Sean P. Diddy Combs, the rapper
- 1:34Speaker 1: and music producer, was last week arrested and charged with
- 1:38Speaker 1: three counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, racketeering,
- 1:43Speaker 1: conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. And here's where
- 1:48Speaker 1: things get eerily familiar to our old friend Jeffrey Epstein.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Today he's been accused of orchestrating what he and his
- 1:56Speaker 1: team called freak-offs. And these so-called parties were far more
- 2:02Speaker 1: sinister than they sound. drug-fueled orgies where Diddy allegedly abused
- 2:08Speaker 1: people using threats of violence to coerce them into participating.
- 2:12Speaker 1: His associates reportedly booked hotel suites, recruited sex workers, and
- 2:18Speaker 1: distributed drugs like cocaine and meth to keep everyone compliant.
- 2:22Speaker 1: And it didn't stop there. Diddy is accused of filming
- 2:25Speaker 1: these freak-offs to use the footage as blackmail to silence
- 2:28Speaker 1: his victims. Trafficking, abuse, coercion, drugging, filming sexual encounters without consent,
- 2:35Speaker 1: all sounds disturbingly similar to Epstein. You know what else
- 2:39Speaker 1: mirrors Epstein's case? The fact that despite years of allegations,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Diddy was never charged, till now. Took years of abuse
- 2:48Speaker 1: and a mountain of accusations before law enforcement finally stepped in.
- 2:52Speaker 1: And here's another unsettling detail.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Did you guys.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Know that Diddy is being held in the same federal
- 2:58Speaker 1: prison where Jeffrey Epstein was? the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
- 3:03Speaker 1: And he's being charged in the Southern District of New York,
- 3:06Speaker 1: the same jurisdiction riddled with corruption during Epstein's case. And
- 3:11Speaker 1: I know the indictment was released last week, but I
- 3:13Speaker 1: wanted to gather my thoughts before I discuss it all
- 3:17Speaker 1: with you. This is something I've learned from Dan, you know, wait,
- 3:20Speaker 1: think about it, let the evidence come in, let you
- 3:23Speaker 1: maybe mull it over with yourself. I know a lot
- 3:26Speaker 1: of people like to jump to react to these cases
- 3:29Speaker 1: and these allegations and sort of salacious stories. I'd like
- 3:34Speaker 1: to take a second to think about it before I
- 3:36Speaker 1: give you all of my thoughts. And so that's what
- 3:39Speaker 1: I've done with this case. I've taken some time to
- 3:41Speaker 1: think about it. And there are a few things that
- 3:42Speaker 1: are odd here. For one, Diddy's homes in LA and
- 3:46Speaker 1: Miami were raided back in March and the feds reportedly
- 3:50Speaker 1: seized all of these sexual blackmail tapes. Yet despite all
- 3:54Speaker 1: the evidence, no charges were brought to him until now.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And Diddy has been accused of child sexual abuse as
- 4:01Speaker 1: recently as 2023. And these tapes, people allege, contain evidence
- 4:07Speaker 1: of this child sexual abuse. But the indictment curiously makes
- 4:10Speaker 1: no mention of that. And even stranger, Diddy is the
- 4:13Speaker 1: only name in the report. No other celebrities or music
- 4:17Speaker 1: executives are being charged. Are we really supposed to believe
- 4:20Speaker 1: that Diddy was the sole mastermind here? The feds take
- 4:24Speaker 1: the tapes to protect powerful people and not to serve justice?
- 4:28Speaker 1: Maybe they're waiting to drop more indictments and child sex
- 4:32Speaker 1: abuse charges.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Maybe they're covering it up. I don't know. But it's
- 4:37Speaker 1: worth remembering that the CIA and FBI have long-standing ties
- 4:40Speaker 1: to organized crime. How could Diddy have gotten away with
- 4:44Speaker 1: this for so long without being charged? For decades, sex
- 4:48Speaker 1: trafficking among the elite has been dismissed as a conspiracy theory.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And victims have been gaslit, ridiculed, and silenced for speaking out.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Anyone who mentions sex trafficking among the elite is seen
- 5:01Speaker 1: as a chronically online paranoid freak. Yet again, so many
- 5:05Speaker 1: of these allegations turn out to be true. And like
- 5:08Speaker 1: all abuse, there's always collusion involved. The fact that no
- 5:12Speaker 1: other names are in the indictment is a huge red flag.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Let's not forget, Diddy's parties were attended by many powerful people.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Kevin Hart. is rumored to be on video actually hosting
- 5:26Speaker 1: one of Diddy's parties. Celebrities like Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez,
- 5:31Speaker 1: they've all been to these events. Maybe some of them
- 5:33Speaker 1: are victims. Others are certainly complicit. Even Diddy's close friend
- 5:39Speaker 1: Usher suspiciously deleted all his tweets after the indictment was unsealed.
- 5:46Speaker 1: And in response, Elon Musk reposted his 2022 tweet about
- 5:50Speaker 1: the Twitter files on X. He said, quote, Twitter is
- 5:54Speaker 1: both a social media company and a crime scene. Referring
- 5:58Speaker 1: and seeming to react to Usher deleting all of his tweets.
- 6:03Speaker 1: And like I said, it's not just entertainment celebrities connected
- 6:06Speaker 1: to Diddy. Here's Diddy and Obama.
- 6:10Speaker 4: I appreciate y'all.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And I just want to say how much I appreciate
- 6:15Speaker 1: Puff Day for doing the kinds of work that he's
- 6:18Speaker 1: doing because he doesn't have to do this.
- 6:21Speaker 4: But this is part of what is important about giving back.
- 6:25Speaker 3: And I want to apologize for not sweating, but I.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Do this so much.
- 6:29Speaker 3: I'm so cool. I just want y'all to see everybody
- 6:32Speaker 3: I'm interviewing is sweating. I'm not even touching my brow.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I'm so cool. And I want to apologize.
- 6:37Speaker 5: I ain't trying to make you look bad or nothing
- 6:39Speaker 5: like that, but I'm.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Just so cool. T-shirt.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Now I want to show you guys a resurfaced video
- 6:49Speaker 1: of Chrissy Teigen. admitting that she had public sex with
- 6:54Speaker 1: her husband, John Legend, at, quote, that Obama thing.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Take a listen.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Public place, you did it.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Is this the best or the worst? What are you doing?
- 7:07Speaker 1: The best.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Okay, the best, probably the Obama thing.
- 7:14Speaker 4: What?
- 7:15Speaker 3: John, what's the, oh God.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Oh God.
- 7:17Speaker 3: John, John. What? What is your wife talking about?
- 7:22Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 7:23Speaker 1: We heard something in there.
- 7:25Speaker 3: We should get back in. What happened?
- 7:28Speaker 4: We're not going to discuss that.
- 7:29Speaker 2: We're not going to discuss it? We're not.
- 7:31Speaker 3: We're not. Oh, my God. Secret Service.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Come here.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Jump back in.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Hi.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Look at John. Look at... Hi.
- 7:39Speaker 2: We're not talking about it.
- 7:40Speaker 4: That's the truth.
- 7:41Speaker 3: That is an awesome answer.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Not the White House.
- 7:43Speaker 3: It was not the White House.
- 7:44Speaker 2: It was not at the White House. 100% not at
- 7:45Speaker 2: the White House.
- 7:46Speaker 4: I promise you.
- 7:46Speaker 3: He was not elected yet. Yeah.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Okay.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Anyway, we're moving on.
- 7:51Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 7:52Speaker 2: I'm in trouble now.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Notice how John Legend immediately got uncomfortable. Refused to answer
- 8:01Speaker 1: any questions. He looked almost petrified. And I'm not saying
- 8:05Speaker 1: that Tegan was referring to a Diddy party. What I'm
- 8:07Speaker 1: saying is that these people, the ones who have connection
- 8:12Speaker 1: to the crimes committed by Diddy and Epstein... Hosting orgies, abuse,
- 8:16Speaker 1: sexual blackmail, child trafficking. They're all powerful people. And they
- 8:21Speaker 1: can smear you as QAnon all they want, but the
- 8:24Speaker 1: truth is that all the people connected to Diddy and
- 8:25Speaker 1: Epstein run our country. The media, the music industry, the
- 8:29Speaker 1: film industry, our culture. They shape our ideas. If you
- 8:33Speaker 1: want to understand why it feels like our culture is dying,
- 8:37Speaker 1: look at the people driving culture and influencing the public.
- 8:41Speaker 1: They're sick and twisted. And understanding that our system is
- 8:45Speaker 1: built on manipulation and abuse is not conspiratorial. It is
- 8:49Speaker 1: actually historical. The idea of using rewards and punishments to
- 8:55Speaker 1: exert control is not a new phenomenon. It's one of
- 8:58Speaker 1: the oldest methods of governance in social organization. Ancient rulers
- 9:02Speaker 1: would grant loyal subjects land, wealth, protection, while the centers
- 9:06Speaker 1: face exile or execution. In modern times, the tools may
- 9:10Speaker 1: have evolved to bonuses, promotions, versus fines and layoffs, but
- 9:16Speaker 1: the fundamental principle endures. Follow the rules and you'll succeed.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Defy the establishment order and you'll encounter repercussions. And the
- 9:25Speaker 1: difference now, why it feels so strange, is that we
- 9:28Speaker 1: aren't allowed to discuss what's in front of our own
- 9:30Speaker 1: eyes without being smeared as crazy conspiracy theorists. We aren't
- 9:36Speaker 1: allowed to discuss anything, in fact, that deviates from the
- 9:38Speaker 1: establishment narrative. Here is Mike Benz explaining how CISA, the
- 9:42Speaker 1: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is a subsidiary to
- 9:46Speaker 1: the DHS, labeled citizens cyber threat actors if they dared
- 9:51Speaker 1: to post online so-called misinformation.
- 9:55Speaker 2: There's a government censorship agency. It's the Ministry of Truth.
- 9:58Speaker 2: What they didn't know is that the Ministry of Truth
- 10:00Speaker 2: had already existed within DHS for three years before that.
- 10:04Speaker 2: It was just given a much more boring, mundane name.
- 10:06Speaker 2: It was called the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. But
- 10:10Speaker 2: what they did is they said that because their mission
- 10:14Speaker 2: is critical infrastructure security, and elections are critical infrastructure and
- 10:20Speaker 2: COVID deals with public health and public health is critical infrastructure.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Any tweets that contain misinformation about elections or about COVID
- 10:29Speaker 2: or about any number of sensitive policy issues were a
- 10:32Speaker 2: cyber threat actor, were a cyber attack on critical infrastructure.
- 10:36Speaker 2: And so DHS had this giant web apparatus to censor
- 10:41Speaker 2: First Amendment protected speech using a cybersecurity predicate. But at
- 10:45Speaker 2: the time, That was almost too fantastical for people to believe.
- 10:49Speaker 2: It wasn't until DHS's censorship operations became so sprawling and
- 10:55Speaker 2: so massive and had so many touchpoints that they needed
- 10:58Speaker 2: this dull, boring bureaucratic management layer, the Disinformation Governance Board,
- 11:02Speaker 2: to manage what DHS, CISA, and the intelligence wing of DHS, DHS-INA,
- 11:10Speaker 2: was doing. It was only then that you had Chuck
- 11:13Speaker 2: Grassley and Josh Hawley and all these different Republican members
- 11:17Speaker 2: of Congress say, holy, wait a second, we've heard rumors
- 11:21Speaker 2: about internet censorship being directed by the U.S. government. Maybe
- 11:24Speaker 2: they're true because, look, they have this Dissemination Governance Board.
- 11:32Speaker 1: It's shocking to think that this is America right now.
- 11:35Speaker 1: And that the Supreme Court has essentially greenlit this kind
- 11:39Speaker 1: of censorship to continue. ahead of this next election. I
- 11:42Speaker 1: want to show you guys, says a director, Jen Easterly,
- 11:47Speaker 1: discussing how her agency's highest priority is protecting people's cognitive infrastructure, i.e.
- 11:56Speaker 1: our minds.
- 11:57Speaker 3: The most important critical infrastructure there is, is our cognitive infrastructure.
- 12:05Speaker 3: And so building that resilience is part of the mission set,
- 12:10Speaker 3: in my view.
- 12:12Speaker 1: So the mission of CISA is to control the minds
- 12:15Speaker 1: of the populace. So Orwellian, dystopian. Here's Bill Gates saying
- 12:20Speaker 1: we should deploy AI speech policing on the public.
- 12:24Speaker 4: You should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence,
- 12:27Speaker 4: if you're causing people not to take vaccines, where are
- 12:32Speaker 4: those boundaries that even the U.S., should, you know, have rules.
- 12:39Speaker 4: And then if you have rules, you know, what is it?
- 12:41Speaker 4: Is there some AI that encodes those rules?
- 12:44Speaker 1: You know, we already covered this on the show, but
- 12:50Speaker 1: DARPA has granted Lockheed Martin taxpayer funds to create technology
- 12:54Speaker 1: that will detect and defeat so-called disinformation, just like Bill
- 12:57Speaker 1: Gates called for. Things are getting increasingly dystopian. I want
- 13:02Speaker 1: to take a second to discuss something else that happened
- 13:05Speaker 1: last week that I didn't cover because I wanted to
- 13:07Speaker 1: take a second to think about it. Israel carried out
- 13:11Speaker 1: a highly publicized attack on Hezbollah. The IDF killed at
- 13:16Speaker 1: least 37 people using embedded plastic explosives in pagers and
- 13:22Speaker 1: two-way radios. I want to give you guys a content warning,
- 13:26Speaker 1: but here is a video of what one of those
- 13:29Speaker 1: attacks looked like. Now, I know that there's been a
- 13:49Speaker 1: lot of cheering and excitement over Israel taking out terrorists,
- 13:54Speaker 1: but I think that's missing a bigger and more disturbing
- 13:57Speaker 1: issue here. And before I get into what that is,
- 14:00Speaker 1: I should also mention that innocent people did die from
- 14:03Speaker 1: this attack. As you can see, there were lots of
- 14:05Speaker 1: civilians around the Hezbollah terrorist who was exploded in even
- 14:11Speaker 1: that one video. So that is always horrible when innocent
- 14:14Speaker 1: people are taken out from any kind of attack. It's
- 14:17Speaker 1: never a good thing. But what this does is illustrate
- 14:23Speaker 1: the growing vulnerability in international supply chains, especially when we're
- 14:28Speaker 1: talking about computerized equipment. Israel showed just how dangerous this
- 14:33Speaker 1: can be by slipping these explosives into every devices like
- 14:36Speaker 1: pagers and radios, killing dozens of people. This wasn't a
- 14:40Speaker 1: new trick to be clear, but they did it in
- 14:42Speaker 1: such a dramatic way that it's really a wake up
- 14:45Speaker 1: call for how vulnerable we all are. And not just
- 14:48Speaker 1: terrorists are at risk of being targeted. Any electronic device
- 14:52Speaker 1: carried by anyone could be hacked or sabotaged. I'm talking
- 14:54Speaker 1: your phone, your car, anything. Our stuff is made all
- 14:59Speaker 1: over the world. So it's easy for bad actors to
- 15:02Speaker 1: tamper with things along the way. Imagine if a country
- 15:05Speaker 1: or a group decided to use these tactics during a
- 15:08Speaker 1: war or even before one breaks out. It's a huge concern.
- 15:12Speaker 1: The way the global economy works, our devices are made
- 15:14Speaker 1: from parts sourced from all over the world. And trying
- 15:18Speaker 1: to change that would be insanely expensive and complicated. So
- 15:22Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how we fix this problem. But
- 15:24Speaker 1: the attacks show how easily our technology can be turned
- 15:27Speaker 1: against us by a foreign entity, maybe even our own government.
- 15:31Speaker 1: It's terrifying. So the pager attack, as far as I'm concerned,
- 15:36Speaker 1: is much more disturbing than cool and something to celebrate.
- 15:40Speaker 1: All right, speaking of the brave new world, there's really
- 15:44Speaker 1: a machine that's in charge of the administrative state here
- 15:48Speaker 1: in America. And the leaders propped up by the state
- 15:51Speaker 1: are purposely hollow figures. Look at what happened over the
- 15:54Speaker 1: weekend when Biden confusingly yelled that he didn't know who
- 16:00Speaker 1: needed to be introduced next during a meeting at his
- 16:02Speaker 1: Delaware home with leaders from Japan, India, and Australia. Take
- 16:05Speaker 1: a listen.
- 16:06Speaker 4: I want to thank you all for being here.
- 16:07Speaker 3: And now, who am I introducing next? Who's next?
- 16:21Speaker 1: Distinguished guests, the Prime Minister of the Republic of India, Okay, yeah,
- 16:31Speaker 1: so of course the person that Biden had forgotten was
- 16:33Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of India. A really awkward moment, and
- 16:37Speaker 1: he just starts yelling out at the public. So uncomfortable.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Many people who have had family members with dementia have
- 16:44Speaker 1: commented that oftentimes people in cognitive decline get understandably really
- 16:49Speaker 1: frustrated and angry as things start to deteriorate. And this
- 16:53Speaker 1: certainly looks like that. Biden's cognitive decline has gotten so
- 16:58Speaker 1: bad that last week, for the first time in 11 months,
- 17:01Speaker 1: he had a cabinet meeting. And during this meeting, he
- 17:05Speaker 1: turned things over to Jill Biden, who could be seen
- 17:08Speaker 1: seated at the head of the table. So I guess
- 17:11Speaker 1: the woman that no one voted for is acting president
- 17:13Speaker 1: right now. Oh, I'm sorry. Michael just corrected me. It's Dr.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Jill Biden.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Dr.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Jill Biden is heading off this cabinet meeting at the
- 17:22Speaker 1: head of the table. I don't remember casting a vote
- 17:25Speaker 1: for Jill Biden. Please leave a comment. Do you guys
- 17:28Speaker 1: remember casting a vote for Jill Biden? Because I certainly don't.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Certainly no one voted for or nominated Kamala Harris either.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And you know what the biggest red flag about her
- 17:38Speaker 1: yet is? More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have
- 17:43Speaker 1: endorsed Kamala in a letter published yesterday. This includes more
- 17:48Speaker 1: than three dozen CIA leaders along with NSA and Pentagon officials.
- 17:52Speaker 1: So all the people who united to support Hillary Clinton
- 17:55Speaker 1: and spread the 2020 lie that the Hunter Biden laptop
- 17:57Speaker 1: was Russian disinformation have come together to support Kamala. Biggest
- 18:04Speaker 1: red flag. And again, is Trump perfect? Have I ever
- 18:07Speaker 1: said Trump is a perfect candidate? No, I have not
- 18:08Speaker 1: said that. Never have I said that. But he does
- 18:11Speaker 1: terrify the permanent state, which is actively attempting to obliterate
- 18:16Speaker 1: our constitutional rights. Everything from speech to the Second Amendment
- 18:20Speaker 1: to privacy. And we can't lose sight of the media's
- 18:22Speaker 1: role in any of this. Remember, there's a web of
- 18:26Speaker 1: collusion and corruption. It's not always connected. It's not always
- 18:29Speaker 1: one big giant conspiracy where everybody's in on it. Not
- 18:32Speaker 1: everyone always knows everything. But in general, the media acts
- 18:36Speaker 1: as PR for the state without asking any questions, which
- 18:39Speaker 1: is why legacy media has said nothing about this ridiculous
- 18:42Speaker 1: line from Zeg Emhoff. Take a listen.
- 18:45Speaker 5: For those who may criticize and say, well, she hasn't
- 18:47Speaker 5: done that her three and a half years in office
- 18:50Speaker 5: as vice president.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Do you think that's unfair?
- 18:53Speaker 5: Yeah, she's she's the vice president, not the president. So,
- 18:56Speaker 5: you know, the vice president is there as part of
- 19:00Speaker 5: the administration, not leading the administration. So as president, she's
- 19:04Speaker 5: going to be able to put forth her policies and
- 19:08Speaker 5: plans and effectuate those.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Yeah, so don't hold Kamala accountable for the Biden admin,
- 19:14Speaker 1: of which she is a part. What kind of an
- 19:16Speaker 1: answer is that? It's an absurd statement. But the Kamala
- 19:20Speaker 1: campaign has been able to distance Kamala from the Biden admin,
- 19:24Speaker 1: of which she is a part, because the press doesn't
- 19:26Speaker 1: press her on it. The cognitive dissonance is so strong,
- 19:30Speaker 1: we even have Tim Walz calling for an end to
- 19:32Speaker 1: the Kamala Biden administration. Take a listen.
- 19:35Speaker 3: We can't afford....
- 19:38Speaker 1: We can't afford.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Four more.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Years of this.
- 19:44Speaker 1: And by the way, the people start to clap at
- 19:45Speaker 1: the end of that. And I agree, we can't afford
- 19:47Speaker 1: four more years of this. But why are all the
- 19:50Speaker 1: Kamala supporters down with this and Tim Walz saying it?
- 19:54Speaker 1: They're holding two conflicting narratives in their brains at once.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Kamala is vice president and also Kamala represents hope and change.
- 20:03Speaker 1: The Biden Kamala admin is good. And also we can't
- 20:06Speaker 1: handle four more years of this. Their minds are totally warped.
- 20:12Speaker 1: But I have a feeling Lockheed Martin and the feds
- 20:13Speaker 1: aren't interested in dispelling that kind of disinformation because it's
- 20:16Speaker 1: disinformation pervaded by the federal government itself. More on the
- 20:20Speaker 1: media and orgies. You remember how last week we discussed
- 20:23Speaker 1: how New York City's COVID czar, Jay Varma, admitted on
- 20:27Speaker 1: a hidden camera that he participated in a drug-fueled, well,
- 20:30Speaker 1: multiple actually, drug-fueled orgies during the height of the pandemic?
- 20:34Speaker 1: In response, the Atlantic reported ran this wildly sympathetic article
- 20:39Speaker 1: defending the man who destroyed lives while attending sex parties.
- 20:43Speaker 1: The article's headline is, public health officials should have been
- 20:46Speaker 1: talking about their sex parties the whole time. And the
- 20:50Speaker 1: author writes, perhaps it would have helped if Jay Varma
- 20:53Speaker 1: shared his own struggles with that tension at the time.
- 20:57Speaker 1: Social science research tells us that public health messaging wins
- 20:59Speaker 1: trust most effectively when it leads with empathy, when leaders
- 21:02Speaker 1: show that they understand how people feel and what they want,
- 21:05Speaker 1: rather than bombarding them with rules and facts. What if
- 21:08Speaker 1: Varma had been forthright with the public from the start,
- 21:11Speaker 1: even on the subject of his sex parties? Perhaps he
- 21:13Speaker 1: could have shown that he understood the need to get
- 21:16Speaker 1: together with your friends as safely as you can, and
- 21:18Speaker 1: whatever makes you happy. What kind of an article is that?
- 21:22Speaker 1: The man forced people to take an experimental vaccine. He
- 21:25Speaker 1: is the cause of mass social isolation, children falling behind
- 21:29Speaker 1: in schools, businesses closing and never reopening, people getting vaccine injured,
- 21:33Speaker 1: people losing their jobs for not complying. And we find
- 21:37Speaker 1: out that Jay Varma was attending orgies and the Atlantic's
- 21:40Speaker 1: response is to defend him? To run PR for a
- 21:43Speaker 1: powerful man caught doing very bad things while abusing the
- 21:46Speaker 1: public and not following his own rules? Tells you everything
- 21:51Speaker 1: you need to know about the media. Whose side are
- 21:53Speaker 1: they on? And remember, the articles about Epstein before he
- 21:56Speaker 1: was arrested and put in prison were overwhelmingly positive. The
- 22:00Speaker 1: articles about Ryan Routh, the guy who tried to kill Trump,
- 22:03Speaker 1: overwhelmingly glowing. before he tried to assassinate the Republican nominee.
- 22:10Speaker 1: And then you no longer need to wonder why the
- 22:13Speaker 1: government has labeled the legacy media, the legacy corporate media,
- 22:16Speaker 1: as trusted sources. It's because they aren't independent or free
- 22:21Speaker 1: at all. They exist to promote the government's preferred narratives.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I want to switch gears here and discuss stained glass
- 22:29Speaker 1: windows and their connection to and everything else we've been
- 22:33Speaker 1: discussing today. And I know that might sound odd, so
- 22:35Speaker 1: let me get into it. A few years ago, Westminster
- 22:38Speaker 1: Abbey commissioned a contemporary artist to design a stained glass
- 22:42Speaker 1: window dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. And this happened back in
- 22:46Speaker 1: 2018 when she was obviously still alive. But I had
- 22:48Speaker 1: not heard of this until now, and I just, I
- 22:51Speaker 1: had to share it with all of you because it
- 22:53Speaker 1: really got me thinking. This is, I'm going to go
- 22:56Speaker 1: back to the first photo, Mikey. You can see what
- 22:58Speaker 1: it looks like. Okay, and now you can see sort
- 23:01Speaker 1: of a second photo of what it looks like compared
- 23:05Speaker 1: to the original stained glass windows in Westminster Abbey. Now,
- 23:09Speaker 1: if you're listening, what we're looking at is essentially a
- 23:12Speaker 1: blob of shapes and colors. Looks to me like my
- 23:16Speaker 1: four-year-old sister designed it. And the other stained glass in
- 23:19Speaker 1: this is traditional. It's beautiful. It's complex. It's a real
- 23:25Speaker 1: stained glass window. I don't know whatever the heck this is,
- 23:28Speaker 1: but it's awful. Now, apparently this newer window was plain before,
- 23:34Speaker 1: so they didn't replace any previously existing stained glass, but
- 23:38Speaker 1: my goodness, plain is better than whatever this monstrosity is.
- 23:44Speaker 1: And this is a good example of our cultural decline.
- 23:47Speaker 3: I think.
- 23:48Speaker 1: If you walk into a modern Catholic church, they look egregious,
- 23:53Speaker 1: like somebody vomited up the design. And I bring up
- 23:56Speaker 1: Catholic churches because I am Catholic, but I'm sure other
- 23:58Speaker 1: Christian denominations face similar issues. Here's an example of what
- 24:02Speaker 1: a truly traditional and reverent church looks like. I mean,
- 24:19Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's just gorgeous. It's a celebration of beauty.
- 24:22Speaker 1: It's art from people contemplating something greater than the mundane.
- 24:26Speaker 1: It's thoughtful. It's skillful. But the art, so-called art, that
- 24:32Speaker 1: permeates our contemporary landscape, be it in film, music, architecture,
- 24:37Speaker 1: it doesn't uplift like the church I just showed. It
- 24:41Speaker 1: insidiously erodes our minds and our souls. This cultural decline,
- 24:45Speaker 1: far from being a mere artistic failing, represents a profound
- 24:51Speaker 1: political crisis. And this is really my point in bringing
- 24:54Speaker 1: this up to you. The Founding Fathers understood that that
- 24:58Speaker 1: the health of a republic depends on the moral fibers
- 25:01Speaker 1: of its citizens. And today, there is a troubling conflation
- 25:05Speaker 1: between of liberty and decadence. As founding father James Wilson wrote, liberty, virtue,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and religion go hand in hand. This trinity is essential
- 25:18Speaker 1: for a flourishing republic. And yet we're under the influence
- 25:21Speaker 1: of morally depraved elites. And these individuals manipulate the culture
- 25:25Speaker 1: leading the masses into a state of complete moral disarray.
- 25:29Speaker 1: The result is a populace with diminished standards, unable to
- 25:32Speaker 1: hold its leaders accountable. Think about it. If we accept
- 25:36Speaker 1: mediocrity in our culture, actually moral depravity in our culture,
- 25:42Speaker 1: how can we expect to demand integrity and accountability from
- 25:45Speaker 1: those who govern us? Essentially, the decline in artistic and
- 25:49Speaker 1: ethical standards creates an environment ripe for tyranny, where the
- 25:55Speaker 1: very elites, Perpetuating this rot are the ones who stand
- 25:59Speaker 1: to gain the most from disempowering the citizenry. So when
- 26:04Speaker 1: art becomes a tool of promoting moral depravity among the populace,
- 26:08Speaker 1: which is what P. Diddy was doing his whole career,
- 26:10Speaker 1: not to mention a tool for manipulation, blackmail, and trafficking,
- 26:14Speaker 1: but it becomes that rather than a reflection of our
- 26:16Speaker 1: highest ideals, it further entrenches the power of those who
- 26:21Speaker 1: thrive in chaos. That's all I have for you guys today.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Thank you to my husband, Michael. His alarm did not
- 26:28Speaker 1: go off this morning, but he still put the show
