Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Happy legal government theft day to all who celebrate. Actually
- 0:07Speaker 1: nobody likes to talk about taxes, obviously, but there's good news.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Actually there's good news because I think, and I've always
- 0:12Speaker 1: kind of like thought this, and you probably do too.
- 0:14Speaker 1: And most Americans, every day, hard working Americans, are willing
- 0:17Speaker 1: to pay taxes if you know it goes towards something useful. Roads, military,
- 0:22Speaker 1: public safety, schools, all that good stuff, as long as
- 0:26Speaker 1: you're not getting ripped off, and as long as not
- 0:28Speaker 1: going to fraudulent causes and sources and people. Well, they're
- 0:33Speaker 1: starting to dig up more fraud than ever, which is
- 0:35Speaker 1: kind of shocking to realize how bad the problem is.
- 0:37Speaker 1: But the good news is it's happening, except in California,
- 0:41Speaker 1: where they're actually proposing a law to stop investigative journalists
- 0:45Speaker 1: looking into fraud. Honest to god, it's conversationally called the
- 0:50Speaker 1: Stop Nick Shirley Act. We'll get into that. It's not
- 0:54Speaker 1: gonna be all taxes, I promise you. Something fascinating coming
- 0:57Speaker 1: out about the Eric Swallwell story. How's his day, how's
- 1:00Speaker 1: his week going? Worse than you could even imagine. We'll
- 1:04Speaker 1: get into that as well. Great interview with Maria Bariromo
- 1:07Speaker 1: and President Trump. He basically says Operation Epic Fury and
- 1:09Speaker 1: it RAN's over. That's good. But more importantly, the most
- 1:13Speaker 1: important story of the day is we have to get
- 1:16Speaker 1: to the bottom pun intended of the poison yoga pants story.
- 1:21Speaker 1: We need to figure this out because the state of
- 1:23Speaker 1: Texas has launched an investigation into Lululemon. I know this
- 1:28Speaker 1: is important, ladies. I know you love your yoga pants
- 1:32Speaker 1: and you know what, we love them too. On you,
- 1:37Speaker 1: most of you. Anyway, we'll get to it. Thanks for
- 1:39Speaker 1: finding me. I appreciate you live stream on x YouTube,
- 1:41Speaker 1: Facebook than the replay on there, more importantly, the audio
- 1:44Speaker 1: podcast wherever you like to get those. Let's get right
- 1:46Speaker 1: to it. Well, yeah, it's tax day, it's true, but
- 1:49Speaker 1: you're probably filing an extension because really, what's the mindset here?
- 1:53Speaker 1: Why am I going to be in a hurry to
- 1:54Speaker 1: give the government my money where I know most of
- 1:57Speaker 1: it's going to fraud although they're working on that. Well,
- 2:00Speaker 1: you're not alone. Don't feel bad. According to a new
- 2:02Speaker 1: survey Social Science survey at the start of the year,
- 2:05Speaker 1: twenty nine percent of Americans of all of us said
- 2:08Speaker 1: they're probably procrastinating on filing their taxes this year. Now
- 2:12Speaker 1: they use the word procrastinate, but really I see that
- 2:14Speaker 1: as an extension. Admitted to putting off last year too,
- 2:19Speaker 1: because let's face it, it's not something we really want
- 2:22Speaker 1: to do. Back then, fifteen percent of Americans thought to
- 2:25Speaker 1: be done by January. Thirty eight percent said they'd hoped
- 2:27Speaker 1: to get it all taken care of by February twenty six.
- 2:30Speaker 1: By March, eighteen percent they expected to wait until April,
- 2:33Speaker 1: because who wants to pay taxes? But you know how
- 2:36Speaker 1: this all works out. If you have to pay and
- 2:37Speaker 1: you just know it's coming, you just know you didn't
- 2:40Speaker 1: do anything different from last year when you had to pay,
- 2:43Speaker 1: Why would you be in a hurry. But you know
- 2:44Speaker 1: how it goes. If you've got a pretty good sense,
- 2:46Speaker 1: and your accountant is telling you, or quick Books is
- 2:48Speaker 1: telling you you're going to get some money back, I
- 2:50Speaker 1: want to get that right away. It's just the way
- 2:52Speaker 1: it goes. But there's good news here. It's shocking at
- 2:54Speaker 1: first to hear about some of the numbers. I get it,
- 2:57Speaker 1: But there is a massive task force built specifically to
- 3:01Speaker 1: combat fraud throughout the entire country where your tax money
- 3:04Speaker 1: is stolen. Jdvance is in charge of that. I think
- 3:06Speaker 1: he was. I think was seapack. He was at yesterday.
- 3:08Speaker 1: He was talking about exactly what they're going to do.
- 3:10Speaker 1: They are dead serious.
- 3:12Speaker 2: There was sort of in the Biden administration, probably intentionally
- 3:15Speaker 2: but regardless, this attitude of if you were committing fraud
- 3:19Speaker 2: of under a million dollars, you're committing fraud of under
- 3:21Speaker 2: a million a.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Half dollars, we're just going to look the other way.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And the approach that we've taken in the last couple
- 3:26Speaker 2: of months is no amount of.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Fraud is too big or too small. If you're defrauding
- 3:31Speaker 1: the taxpayer, you ought to.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Go to prison, and anybody who's helping you ought to
- 3:34Speaker 2: go to prison too.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Okay, good, but we're all saying, Okay, that's easy to
- 3:38Speaker 1: sit there in a chair at a public conference and
- 3:40Speaker 1: say you're gonna get that done, But are you really well,
- 3:42Speaker 1: you know what, don't discount what he's saying, though, because
- 3:44Speaker 1: it all does start with that. And I would say this,
- 3:48Speaker 1: even if you didn't vote for this administration, maybe you
- 3:50Speaker 1: don't even like jd Vance, Can you honestly, honestly sit
- 3:54Speaker 1: back and say that they don't try at least to
- 3:56Speaker 1: follow through with what they're trying to accomplish. Pretty good
- 4:00Speaker 1: record for at least fighting the battle, waging the war.
- 4:03Speaker 1: And they got to do it against fraud. That's the
- 4:05Speaker 1: first step, and that's good news. This is where we
- 4:08Speaker 1: come into play now locally, I mean super local, your city,
- 4:12Speaker 1: your county, and then move on to your state and
- 4:14Speaker 1: then the federal government. It's up to you, me and
- 4:17Speaker 1: everybody else. I know, these elections, like, aren't the most
- 4:19Speaker 1: exciting thing in the world, Like you don't want to
- 4:21Speaker 1: exactly pay attention to who your county commission candidates are.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I get it. I got more important things to do anyway,
- 4:27Speaker 1: or more entertaining things to do. But is there anything
- 4:30Speaker 1: more important? You have to pay attention to this stuff?
- 4:32Speaker 1: And this should be the number one question if you
- 4:34Speaker 1: ever get a chance to talk to any of these local,
- 4:36Speaker 1: yogl or federal or state candidates. That should be the
- 4:39Speaker 1: number one question we all have now because it relates
- 4:41Speaker 1: to everything, all of it. It all comes back to this.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Now that we know how bad the fraud problem is
- 4:45Speaker 1: in our country, now that we have specific numbers, the
- 4:48Speaker 1: number one question of all these people running for office
- 4:50Speaker 1: is what are you going to do to combat fraud?
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's it. It's what they tried in California. What they're
- 4:55Speaker 1: trying to do. Nick Shirley remember him, Remember I was
- 4:58Speaker 1: praising him up and down in Minnesota. He's the guy
- 5:00Speaker 1: that busted with his team independent journalist, had twenty three
- 5:04Speaker 1: year old kid. All the Somali fraud in Minnesota basically
- 5:07Speaker 1: ended Tim Wallas's political career, got a guy that was
- 5:11Speaker 1: almost vice president. Can you imagine, exposed all of that. Well,
- 5:14Speaker 1: then Nick moved to California. Believe it or not. As
- 5:16Speaker 1: huge as the Minnesota story was, the work he did
- 5:19Speaker 1: in California was even bigger because he exposed of all things.
- 5:23Speaker 1: And you might have heard about this hospice fraud to
- 5:27Speaker 1: the tune of billions of dollars. Well what's that all about? Well, people,
- 5:32Speaker 1: some medical professionals, some just normal con artists open up
- 5:36Speaker 1: hospice centers in that name built the government out of
- 5:41Speaker 1: which means your money out of millions in each case,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and they don't serve any patients. He exposed all of this.
- 5:49Speaker 1: See you know what happens, They try to stop him.
- 5:52Speaker 1: There's literally not the official name of the bill, but
- 5:55Speaker 1: conversationally a bill in the California State Assembly that's called
- 5:59Speaker 1: the Stop Nick Surely Act. I swear to god, they're
- 6:03Speaker 1: not even trying to hide their corruption anymore. It's not
- 6:06Speaker 1: just California. I mean they're trying to stop him specifically,
- 6:08Speaker 1: but so every state in the Union is trying to
- 6:11Speaker 1: stop investigating fraud. And that's what they're trying to do.
- 6:13Speaker 1: They're trying to put a stop to independent journalists investigating fraud.
- 6:18Speaker 1: This is how corrupt they are. He was talking about
- 6:20Speaker 1: it just the other day. Yeah, they're making it.
- 6:23Speaker 3: They're trying to make it so citizen journalists or just
- 6:25Speaker 3: average Americans who are going about seeing what's happening inside
- 6:28Speaker 3: of their community. They're trying to scare them from talking
- 6:32Speaker 3: about potential fraud taking place inside of these communities. And like,
- 6:36Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. They're literally willing to impose
- 6:38Speaker 3: a ten thousand dollars fine or imprisonment if you go
- 6:42Speaker 3: and seek to find out the truth about the location
- 6:45Speaker 3: that could potentially that could potentially be fraudulent inside your.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Own neighborhood, even more so than Minnesota. That kid is
- 6:51Speaker 1: a hero absolute here, but he's not the only one.
- 6:53Speaker 1: He's not the only independent journalists out there. There are
- 6:55Speaker 1: a lot of them that actually look into this stuff.
- 6:57Speaker 1: They risk their own personal safety, money, they go out there,
- 7:02Speaker 1: they film it all, they get involved. They actually do
- 7:04Speaker 1: the work that our so called free press should be doing.
- 7:08Speaker 1: If we had a real true press, a real true
- 7:12Speaker 1: media in our country, none of this would be able
- 7:14Speaker 1: to happen anyway. But it's got This stuff has been
- 7:17Speaker 1: festering for not the last decade, probably close to one
- 7:21Speaker 1: hundred years, and it took somebody like this kid to
- 7:23Speaker 1: investigate it all. So what do they do. They're true
- 7:26Speaker 1: in California. They're trying to create a law to specifically
- 7:29Speaker 1: stop him and other independent journalists from investigating fraud. You
- 7:34Speaker 1: couldn't even They're not even trying to hide their corruption anymore.
- 7:36Speaker 1: They're not even trying. And as depressing as that is,
- 7:40Speaker 1: but that's the good news. There's a lot of good
- 7:42Speaker 1: news here is because there are people like Nick Shirley
- 7:45Speaker 1: and many others who are looking into this and doing
- 7:48Speaker 1: that kind of work. They're doing God's work to expose
- 7:50Speaker 1: all these fraudsters and corrupt people. And then you have
- 7:52Speaker 1: and it's because of this, and I think it's a
- 7:54Speaker 1: fair question to ask, does the Trump administration create a
- 7:59Speaker 1: task for putting JD. Vance in charge of all the fraud?
- 8:02Speaker 1: If I'll use him again, Nick Shirley hadn't exposed everything
- 8:05Speaker 1: going on in Minnesota and then moved on to California,
- 8:08Speaker 1: and then they started looking at all the other states.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Do they even try to attempt to do that? I
- 8:11Speaker 1: don't think they do, as they realized how easily you
- 8:14Speaker 1: can find it if you do the work, and how
- 8:18Speaker 1: bad the problem is. And it's the independent investigative journalist
- 8:22Speaker 1: like that kid that actually exposed all this. And here's
- 8:25Speaker 1: the other thing, here's why you now have a fraud
- 8:26Speaker 1: task force because the administration realized this is a public win,
- 8:30Speaker 1: a massively popular win. You'll never get rid of all
- 8:34Speaker 1: the fraud, all our taxpayer money going to these corrupt cretans,
- 8:38Speaker 1: but you take a big chunk out of it, for sure.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Hope that kid gets it done, though, would be awesome.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Speaking of fraudsters and connhartists somehow someway. I won't go
- 8:50Speaker 1: to all the details because it was just horrifying. Eric
- 8:53Speaker 1: Swalwell's no good, nasty, horrible bad week got about ten
- 8:58Speaker 1: thousand times worse yesterday, as is alleged have to say,
- 9:01Speaker 1: alleged victims had the press conference and filed charges against
- 9:04Speaker 1: him for that twenty eighteen incident in Beverly Hills. And
- 9:09Speaker 1: then there's also now many politicians. Anna Paulina Luna is
- 9:12Speaker 1: now saying she has forensic evidence that it may have
- 9:14Speaker 1: been a for a different incident. The videotape we all
- 9:18Speaker 1: saw of filming him might have been a miner and
- 9:22Speaker 1: there might have been narcotics involved too. It charges against him.
- 9:25Speaker 1: His buddy Reuben Gaego from Arizona, did you see him?
- 9:29Speaker 1: He did another press conference where he was in a panic,
- 9:31Speaker 1: saying I knew nothing about this. We didn't know. I
- 9:33Speaker 1: have no idea he led a double life. Even though
- 9:36Speaker 1: more and more people are saying, boys, sure looks like
- 9:38Speaker 1: the side of his head in that videotape room, in
- 9:40Speaker 1: the hotel room. It's getting worse and worse for them.
- 9:44Speaker 1: But something fascinating happened. Jesse Waters had on Stephen Miller,
- 9:48Speaker 1: Trump advisor last night. Of course he's kind of like,
- 9:51Speaker 1: you know, taking a victory lap and laughing at Swalwell
- 9:53Speaker 1: because Swalwell is such a corrupt dirt bag. But Steven
- 9:56Speaker 1: Miller said something fascinating that caught my attention at the
- 9:59Speaker 1: end of this little clip here. Doesn't this confirm everything
- 10:02Speaker 1: you ever thought about politicians? He's taking shots at the
- 10:05Speaker 1: Democrats now, But don't you kind of think it happens
- 10:08Speaker 1: in the Republican side too, Probably not as much, but
- 10:11Speaker 1: you know, this is how it works. This is the
- 10:12Speaker 1: only thing that makes sense when we all ask what
- 10:15Speaker 1: happens to these people once we elect them and get
- 10:18Speaker 1: him in new office. You know, you see him run
- 10:19Speaker 1: locally or whatever. Good guys, bar background, they're getting to Washington,
- 10:23Speaker 1: DC and they're just a swamp rat. This may explain
- 10:25Speaker 1: well we have you here.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Has the President said anything about Swalwell?
- 10:29Speaker 1: He I don't know if he said anything. Has he
- 10:32Speaker 1: been following that? Why has he had a bad week?
- 10:36Speaker 4: Jesse?
- 10:36Speaker 1: I haven't been watching.
- 10:40Speaker 4: You think with bigger matters to peace, it couldn't have
- 10:43Speaker 4: happened to a better person.
- 10:45Speaker 1: But look, here's the most important thing. If we have
- 10:47Speaker 1: ten seconds on this, and I'm.
- 10:48Speaker 4: Sure you would agree with this, the most important part
- 10:51Speaker 4: about this story. And look, Swalwell is a scumbag. He
- 10:55Speaker 4: is a terrible person, the worst of the worst, the
- 10:57Speaker 4: lowest of the low. The most dishonest and the most dishonest.
- 11:00Speaker 4: But the real story here is how the Democrat Party
- 11:03Speaker 4: controls its numbers through blackmail.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It's got a blackmail file on all.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Of its politicians and it uses them to leverage and
- 11:11Speaker 4: control them until it's time to release it. That is
- 11:14Speaker 4: how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That's the
- 11:17Speaker 4: next thread we've got to pull out here, Jessin, all right, it's.
- 11:19Speaker 1: A dangerous business.
- 11:20Speaker 2: We'll see how it's shaped.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Doesn't that make a lot of sense? And let's be
- 11:23Speaker 1: adults in the room now again. Like I said, I
- 11:25Speaker 1: don't think as bad, but you know what happens on
- 11:27Speaker 1: the other side too, it happens with the Red team.
- 11:29Speaker 1: To trust me on this one. Or how about the
- 11:31Speaker 1: whole system? I mean, isn't it a sorta kind of
- 11:35Speaker 1: type of blackmail where you have the lobbyist system where
- 11:38Speaker 1: they get these people elected. Very few people Trump accepted
- 11:42Speaker 1: can actually run and get elected to a high position
- 11:44Speaker 1: of power like that with their own money. So that
- 11:48Speaker 1: means naturally, the way the system is built, they can
- 11:50Speaker 1: be bought, lobbyists can control them. But how about that,
- 11:53Speaker 1: how about what Stephen Miller is alleging once the Democrats
- 11:55Speaker 1: get into office, they have files created on them with
- 11:58Speaker 1: all the dirt. So, in other words, if you don't vote,
- 12:01Speaker 1: if you don't go our way, if you don't say
- 12:03Speaker 1: these things, we'll expose you ourselves. Hmmm, does that really happen?
- 12:08Speaker 5: Bill?
- 12:08Speaker 6: Oh?
- 12:08Speaker 1: I don't know who took Who was it really that
- 12:11Speaker 1: took down Eric Swalwell? Who was it? Was it Trump?
- 12:15Speaker 1: Was it Stephen Miller? There was it? Was it? The media?
- 12:18Speaker 1: CNN tried to say, where you took him down? We
- 12:20Speaker 1: exposed the story. No, No, it was his own party
- 12:23Speaker 1: who took him down because they saw what was that.
- 12:26Speaker 1: They knew how compromised he has always been. They knew
- 12:29Speaker 1: about this stuff from the get go. Despite Nancy Pelosi
- 12:31Speaker 1: saying Donalds surprise Thomas right like, she wasn't aware of
- 12:38Speaker 1: anything even in her octogenarian mind. Right now, she of
- 12:41Speaker 1: course knew how dirty this guy has always been. They
- 12:45Speaker 1: saw how shaky the gobernatorial polls were in California, and
- 12:48Speaker 1: they couldn't afford to lose that state. They took him down.
- 12:51Speaker 1: So what Stephen Miller is saying here is exactly right. Uh,
- 12:56Speaker 1: all of these people are blackmailed with few exceptions, and
- 12:58Speaker 1: I would bet you, I bet you happens on both sides,
- 13:01Speaker 1: but that's just speculation. Who knows. Speaking of President Trump
- 13:05Speaker 1: has caught my eye the little teaser promo Maria Bartaromo.
- 13:08Speaker 1: I've said for years it does the best interviews of Trump,
- 13:10Speaker 1: best interviews of all because they like her and she
- 13:12Speaker 1: asked tough questions and she had a little teaser video
- 13:15Speaker 1: of her interview coming up. And this is what caught
- 13:17Speaker 1: my attention was the wording what do we know about Trump?
- 13:20Speaker 1: And how he words things. Pay attention to it because
- 13:22Speaker 1: it usually means it's exactly how things are going.
- 13:24Speaker 3: I just left the president. It was a great interview.
- 13:28Speaker 1: He said a lot about.
- 13:29Speaker 2: The economy, about the Iran.
- 13:31Speaker 1: War, about NATO. One thing that I'll leave you if
- 13:34Speaker 1: I said to him, mister President, you keep talking about
- 13:36Speaker 1: the war like was was was? I said, is it over?
- 13:40Speaker 1: He said, it's over?
- 13:41Speaker 2: Joined the holy interview.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting. That's probably what I would call the
- 13:45Speaker 1: perfect teaser promo for an interview coming up. I mean,
- 13:48Speaker 1: they got my interest, that got me to go watch
- 13:50Speaker 1: the interview and what he said about it, that's a
- 13:52Speaker 1: great She's a great broadcaster. She just is all right.
- 13:55Speaker 1: So then you get to the interview, talked about a lot.
- 13:58Speaker 1: You know, he's all over the place. You gotta rain
- 13:59Speaker 1: him in a little bit. She does a good job
- 14:00Speaker 1: with that. But specifically, is Operation to Epic Fury over?
- 14:04Speaker 1: Is it?
- 14:04Speaker 5: Or not?
- 14:05Speaker 1: Pretty much? What you're saying was, is this war over?
- 14:08Speaker 5: I think it's close to over here. I mean I
- 14:11Speaker 5: view it as very close to over. You know what,
- 14:14Speaker 5: if I pulled up stakes right now, it would take
- 14:17Speaker 5: them twenty years to rebuild that country. And we're not finished.
- 14:22Speaker 5: We'll see what happens. I think they want to make
- 14:24Speaker 5: it deal very badly.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Yes, seems to make sense. I think it is. We've
- 14:28Speaker 1: gotten everything they want and yet so here you have
- 14:30Speaker 1: the president basically saying Operation Epic Fury is over. You
- 14:33Speaker 1: go back ten days and you had every media talking
- 14:36Speaker 1: head except people like her saying America is losing. And
- 14:39Speaker 1: they were even saying they said this last night, but
- 14:41Speaker 1: blockade is a failure. No it's not. And I can't
- 14:45Speaker 1: wait to see what these people say when gas is
- 14:46Speaker 1: about a buck fifty because now the rest of the
- 14:49Speaker 1: world has to buy our energy. It's just amazing. You
- 14:55Speaker 1: truly cannot hate the mainstream media enough for trying to
- 14:58Speaker 1: gaslight you into everything. It's just unbelieving. All right, let's
- 15:01Speaker 1: forget all all that and let's get to the story
- 15:03Speaker 1: that really matters. Not corruption, not fraud, not Iran, not
- 15:07Speaker 1: Swallowell talking about yoga pants. That's right now. This is
- 15:12Speaker 1: one of those stories. It didn't make me go hmm,
- 15:16Speaker 1: it made me go, what the hell Texas Lululemon, Ken
- 15:21Speaker 1: Paxton poison chemicals? The hell is going on here? A
- 15:25Speaker 1: little bit of background. I'm not gonna read the statement
- 15:26Speaker 1: because it's all in legal ease and get how that goes.
- 15:28Speaker 1: But here's the wrap up. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
- 15:31Speaker 1: has launched an official investigation from his state why Texas
- 15:36Speaker 1: I have no idea into activewear giant Lululemon Lululemon amid
- 15:41Speaker 1: concerns that its products may contain potentially harmful forever chemicals.
- 15:46Speaker 1: According to an official announcement released just this week. Hmm,
- 15:51Speaker 1: I had to go some background on this. I'm like,
- 15:54Speaker 1: this is actually it sounds like a silly thing. Not
- 15:57Speaker 1: the chemical part. It sounds like a silly thing when
- 15:59Speaker 1: you talk about yoga pants. It's really not stop and
- 16:02Speaker 1: think about how many women. I guess there's guy's too,
- 16:06Speaker 1: but stop and think about how many women you see
- 16:08Speaker 1: every single day wearing yoga pants everywhere all the time.
- 16:13Speaker 1: When you have that many Americans affected by this, and
- 16:15Speaker 1: I know it's a worldwide problem, that's a big deal.
- 16:18Speaker 1: And now that you have an official Ken Paxson doesn't
- 16:20Speaker 1: mess around either in Texas. If he's onto it, he's
- 16:22Speaker 1: onto it. He's not gonna give up because he's also
- 16:25Speaker 1: running for office and this would be a big win
- 16:27Speaker 1: for him if he can stop this. Although it may
- 16:29Speaker 1: backfire because what do we know about personal behavior? It
- 16:32Speaker 1: took forever decades for people to stop smoking to the
- 16:36Speaker 1: numbers we see right now, we really think an action
- 16:40Speaker 1: from the Texas at Journey General is going to make
- 16:42Speaker 1: women stop wearing yoga pants. I don't think so, but
- 16:45Speaker 1: at least he wants this company to clean things up.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I had to do a little bit of research and
- 16:50Speaker 1: have found a video from a guy who has been
- 16:52Speaker 1: talking about this now for years. His name is Paul Saladino,
- 16:56Speaker 1: Doctor Paul Saladino. A little clip about what he was
- 16:58Speaker 1: talking about. He's been saying this where long.
- 17:00Speaker 6: Term are forever chemicals in the cross region of Lululemon
- 17:04Speaker 6: leggings and the leggings of many other companies. These are
- 17:07Speaker 6: PFA's perfloral alkyl compounds that are called forever chemicals. It's
- 17:12Speaker 6: very hard for the body to get rid of these,
- 17:13Speaker 6: and they're persistent in the environment. We know they can
- 17:16Speaker 6: be absorbed through the skin, which is crazy when you
- 17:18Speaker 6: think about the fact that they're concentrated in the cross
- 17:20Speaker 6: region of leggings like these, and women don't wear underwear
- 17:23Speaker 6: with these commonly. These chemicals are associated with hormone disruption,
- 17:27Speaker 6: with cancers, with thyroid, kidney and liver damage in humans.
- 17:31Speaker 6: They're horrible for us, and they're in our clothing, especially
- 17:34Speaker 6: the cross region of these leggings, where you're not wearing underwear.
- 17:37Speaker 6: They're getting into your body and they're staying there. Know
- 17:39Speaker 6: what's in your leggings makes more choices. Knowledge is power.
- 17:42Speaker 6: No better do better? Be careful of what.
- 17:44Speaker 1: No better do better?
- 17:45Speaker 5: Right?
- 17:45Speaker 1: I get it now as a company, and it really
- 17:47Speaker 1: feels too sorry for Lululemon. Do you remember this story?
- 17:50Speaker 1: These are the things that stick in my head. It's
- 17:51Speaker 1: a sickness. I get it. Do you remember Lulu Lemon.
- 17:53Speaker 1: There was a store they had a robbery and the
- 17:55Speaker 1: store employees tackled the thief, and then the company fired
- 18:00Speaker 1: the store employees for doing that. It was a long
- 18:03Speaker 1: time ago, but it's still that bothered me so much.
- 18:05Speaker 1: So if that's the company we're talking about here, I
- 18:07Speaker 1: don't really feel bad for them. And it's an opportunity.
- 18:10Speaker 1: I don't now that yoga pants have been released to
- 18:14Speaker 1: the world, and God love it. In most cases it's
- 18:16Speaker 1: a fantastic thing. I don't think you're gonna ever get
- 18:20Speaker 1: rid of them. So it's a golden opportunity and chaos.
- 18:22Speaker 1: There's opportunity some non chemical yoga pants brand that'll come up.
- 18:28Speaker 1: This is your shot. Come in there, go in there
- 18:31Speaker 1: and market your yoga pants as chemical free and completely
- 18:35Speaker 1: healthy and all that good stuff, and somebody will. Somebody
- 18:39Speaker 1: will do this. But it's fascinating to see. It's going
- 18:42Speaker 1: to take a long time. You can't you can't break
- 18:44Speaker 1: people's habits that easily. And it's certainly not going to
- 18:46Speaker 1: come from Ken Paxton in Texas. What happens with it,
- 18:50Speaker 1: I don't know. The good news is I know, and
- 18:53Speaker 1: everything you see, everything I love is full of chemicals
- 18:55Speaker 1: in these days, well it mostly is. The good news
- 18:58Speaker 1: is we're aware of it these days, and if you're
- 18:59Speaker 1: aware of it, just make your own choices. Right, We've
- 19:03Speaker 1: got to fix the yoga pants problem. Thanks for finding me.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I'm out of here, I'm out of material, and you
