1:41

me down the rabbit hole about current events.

2:04

Hello, friends, and welcome back to the rabbit hole.

2:06

I'm your host, Danny. And today we are talking

2:08

about current events. This was not requested by any

2:10

of you. I know this is like the time

2:12

that I would say, oh, thank you to whoever, thank

2:14

you to whoever sent me videos into my

2:16

messages on Instagram. Because you guys send me

2:19

videos all the time, I take those videos.

2:21

I'm like, you know what? I'm getting a

2:23

lot of current event videos, so I need

2:25

to do an episode on that. So it

2:27

seems like that just runs in cycles. So

2:29

here we are doing current events and

2:31

thank you to all of you guys that

2:33

suggested current events on my Instagram question.

2:35

I had three of them. So I had,

2:38

you know, the world economic forum, the

2:40

honey bees and the dire wolves, but I

2:42

was like, I need a couple more.

2:44

You guys requested these other couple of things.

2:46

I threw them in there. It actually makes total sense. I

2:48

don't know why I didn't think about them, but I

2:50

appreciate you guys. Thanks. So let's

2:52

start with the world economic

2:55

forum live stimulation because this

2:57

is. Odd. It's odd,

2:59

for sure. On

3:01

October 18, 2019, Johns

3:03

Hopkins Center for Health Security

3:05

in partnership with the World

3:07

Economic Forum and the Bill

3:09

and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted

3:12

a high -level simulation exercise

3:14

for pandemic preparedness and response. Yes,

3:17

in October of 2019, this

3:19

event was hosted in

3:21

New York City, and it

3:23

brought together business, government, security,

3:26

and public health

3:28

leaders to address

3:31

this hypothetical global

3:33

pandemic scenario. During

3:35

the scenario, they discussed different

3:37

high -level policy choices that could

3:39

arise in the midst of a

3:42

severe pandemic. The reasoning

3:44

behind this scenario was that the

3:46

world had seen a number of

3:48

epidemics in the years leading up

3:50

to this scenario. These

3:52

epidemics included Ebola, Zika,

3:55

MERS, and SARS. In

3:57

the news release put out by the

4:00

World Economic Forum, it stated, quote, experts

4:02

suggest there is a growing

4:05

likelihood of one of these

4:07

events becoming a global threat

4:09

or an event 201 pandemic

4:11

that would pose disruptions to

4:13

health and society and cause

4:15

average annual economic losses of

4:17

.7 % global GDP similar

4:20

in scale to climate change. An

4:23

epidemic is described as an

4:25

unexpected increase in the number of

4:27

disease cases in a specific

4:29

geographical area. A pandemic

4:31

is declared when a disease

4:33

grows at an exponential rate.

4:36

As we all know, COVID -19

4:38

was discovered in Wuhan, China in

4:40

late 2019. The CDC

4:43

alerted the nation of the outbreak

4:45

abroad in January 2020, with the

4:47

first US case reported in Washington

4:49

state in late January. By

4:51

March 2020, the World

4:53

Health Organization declared COVID -19

4:55

a global health emergency. And

4:58

that same month, it was declared

5:00

a pandemic. I

5:02

know you're thinking, Danny, COVID is

5:04

over. So is this like a

5:06

COVID episode? What's going on here? No,

5:08

it's not. Nothing to do

5:10

with COVID kind of. The

5:12

World Economic Forum put out another

5:14

news release about a catastrophic

5:17

cyber attack. This was released in

5:19

January 2023, but indicated that

5:21

the attack was likely to happen

5:23

in the next two years.

5:25

They stated that geopolitical instability

5:27

is exacerbating the risk of catastrophic

5:30

cyber attacks. This

5:32

event would take down the power grid.

5:34

Everything basically would be down, so like

5:36

your internet, electricity, everything. And

5:39

so all the people in the hospitals

5:41

that are relying on machines to keep them

5:43

alive or whatever, those would all be off.

5:45

Your refrigerators, your heaters, your air conditioners, whatever

5:47

you would need, that would all, none

5:50

of that would work. So all the food that you're keeping cool,

5:52

gone. If it's too

5:55

cold outside, now you're gonna freeze to

5:57

death because your heater isn't working. If it's too

5:59

hot outside, now you're gonna be hot inside. That's

6:01

gonna lead to a lot more

6:03

heat exhaustion and heat strokes and different

6:05

things like that. and heat -related deaths.

6:07

So they got together with different

6:10

executives in the cybersecurity space to prepare

6:12

for an event like this. Oddly

6:14

enough, a prominent cybersecurity

6:16

professor from Indiana University

6:18

has gone missing very

6:20

recently. Over the

6:22

month of March, Professor Wang's email, account,

6:25

phone number, and professor

6:27

profile has been removed by

6:29

the university. On

6:32

March 28, 2025, the FBI

6:34

raided his home in Bloomington,

6:36

Indiana and in Carmel, Indiana. On

6:39

March 31st, he was fired without

6:41

due process from the university. The

6:44

strangest part is no one knows

6:46

where the professor and his wife

6:48

are or why the FBI is

6:51

investigating them to begin with. This

6:54

professor has spent 20

6:56

years publishing academic papers

6:58

on cryptography, privacy and

7:00

cybersecurity. One might say

7:02

that he is an expert in the

7:04

field. He was the

7:06

associate dean for research at

7:08

Indiana University's Luddy School for

7:11

Informatics, Computing and Engineering. He

7:13

has been the recipient of nearly

7:15

$23 million in grants over his 21

7:17

years at the university, and

7:20

he is just gone. The FBI

7:22

didn't find him when they raided

7:24

his house. Nobody's heard from him.

7:26

He's just gone. This

7:28

guy knows so much about cyber

7:30

security that he would be able

7:32

to point out issues or a

7:34

cyber attack if one were coming

7:37

but Xiaofeng Wang was from China

7:39

and We know that China has

7:41

been planting professors in US universities

7:43

to teach our people It's like

7:45

false information not necessarily false information,

7:47

but kind of like skew their

7:49

views on different things So is

7:52

this why the FBI was raiding

7:54

his house? Did they find out

7:56

that he was actually doing something

7:58

to our power grid? Or was

8:00

he sending information back to China? Is

8:03

that why he was quietly taken down

8:05

from the university website and just fired

8:07

out of nowhere? Or

8:09

would he be able to stop a cyber attack

8:11

if one was coming? Are

8:13

they planning something? Is

8:15

that why they disappeared him? Are

8:18

we in China right now? Are we just

8:20

disappearing people like that? This is crazy. And

8:23

all of this combined with the fact

8:25

that leave the world behind was like

8:27

a cyber attack and you have zero

8:29

day, which is a cyber attack. Both

8:31

these things came out on Netflix. You're

8:33

talking about these weird cyber attacks that

8:36

are happening. Now you got the world

8:38

economic forum who properly prepared us for

8:40

the pandemic by doing a pandemic exercise

8:42

just months before a freaking pandemic. And

8:44

they're saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, there's going

8:46

to be a pretty severe cyber attack.

8:50

And the fact that our power grid is

8:52

so susceptible to attack, like it is

8:54

not very secure at all. Anybody could just

8:56

come in and do whatever. And most

8:58

the stuff that we get for our power

9:00

grid actually comes from China. So they

9:02

could be planting something in the power grid,

9:05

like whether they could just click couple

9:07

of buttons and boom, it shuts off. I

9:09

mean, I'm no like computer expert. I don't know

9:12

how they could do it, but I know it's for

9:14

sure possible. Is

9:17

something coming? Should we

9:19

be preparing? This

9:22

is like the time in the episode where I

9:24

tell you to become a doomsday prepper and make

9:26

sure you have like light sources and extra candles

9:28

and extra food and freeze dried food. That way

9:30

you can feed your family and maybe like move

9:33

to a homestead and start a garden and a

9:35

farm and all those things. That's

9:38

me. Like I'm, you know, I'll do

9:40

those things. You do human. I'm

9:43

just saying that

9:45

the World Economic Forum.

9:49

knows what's coming as we've seen with

9:51

so many things by them and

9:53

they're so corrupt and they they're working

9:55

with the Bill and Melinda Gates

9:57

Foundation that's sketchy to me as well

9:59

so I'm just wondering if maybe

10:01

we all should do a little bit

10:04

of prepping I don't know you

10:06

do you I'm just here to give

10:08

you the information if you move

10:10

to a farm and start a garden

10:12

and have cows and pigs and

10:14

chickens and whatever well that's on you

10:17

We have more current events to

10:19

get to because the honeybees

10:21

are dying and the honeybees have

10:24

been dying for a while

10:26

But honeybee colonies in the US

10:28

are dying at rates. We

10:30

have never seen before so the

10:32

colonies are projected to decline

10:34

up to 70 % in 2025

10:37

We've already seen 1 .6 million

10:39

colonies destroyed from honeybee die -off

10:41

this year The losses are valued

10:43

at around 643 million dollars In

10:46

February 2025, the American

10:48

Beekeeping Federation and the American

10:50

Honey Producers Association came together and

10:53

wrote a letter to the

10:55

Department of Agriculture stating that these

10:57

are record losses and that

10:59

70 -100 % of bees have been

11:01

lost in the last 12

11:03

months. In the letter, they

11:06

demanded some sort of aid and funding

11:08

to bounce back from this catastrophic loss

11:10

of honey bees. However,

11:12

the USDA is experiencing government cuts,

11:14

as with everybody. So the University

11:16

of Cornell is getting involved to

11:18

help with the research as to

11:20

why this is happening and what

11:22

we can do to prevent it

11:24

from happening again or at all,

11:26

hopefully. But

11:28

honey bees aren't originally native to the

11:30

US. Like they were brought. to

11:32

North American 1622, but since then they've

11:34

become a vital part of our

11:37

agricultural system. They help to pollinate half

11:39

of all crops, including apples, berries,

11:41

pumpkins, melons, and cherries. Honeybee

11:43

decline has been on the

11:45

rise for decades now. We

11:48

used to see a decline in honeybees

11:50

over the winter months of about 10

11:52

to 20 percent, so we would see

11:55

it die off because it's winter, some

11:57

would die. In the last 10 years,

11:59

we've seen winter declines of up to

12:01

40 to 50%, but this past winter,

12:03

we're seeing a 70 % decline. Without

12:06

honeybees, we would probably

12:08

still live, but our food

12:10

supply would take a

12:12

massive hit. The varieties

12:14

of foods available would diminish and the cost

12:16

of certain products would skyrocket because we

12:18

can all afford groceries now. So like, let's

12:20

kill off the honeybees so we had

12:22

to pay even more. According

12:26

to the California Almond Board,

12:28

without bees, almonds wouldn't

12:30

exist. Coffee would

12:32

still be around, but the quantity would

12:34

be much less. So we'd be

12:37

paying outrageous for coffee, which I just

12:39

don't know if I could survive. But

12:42

then you ask the question, like, why is this happening? Of

12:45

course, right away climate change was considered

12:47

to be one of the biggest factors

12:49

to the deaths of honeybees. but now

12:51

they're also saying that it could be

12:53

because of the pesticides used on the

12:55

food. Imagine that. The bees

12:57

would be right in the pesticides because

12:59

they land on the plants and because

13:01

they're pollinators. That makes what

13:03

the neonictenoids is probably a

13:06

deadly combination for these honeybees. Neonictenoids

13:09

or neonicx for short

13:11

are a class of

13:13

synthetic neurotoxin insecticides that

13:15

are used on agricultural

13:17

crops. They are

13:19

the single most popular insecticide

13:21

class in the US. It

13:24

could have something to do with

13:26

the chemicals used for mite treatments in

13:29

the bees. Like

13:31

bees get these mites, they're

13:33

called Varroa mites, which grow

13:35

in the honeybee colonies with

13:37

the bees. Right

13:39

now, the only way to treat for these

13:41

mites is a chemical like we don't

13:44

really have like an organic option hopefully in

13:46

the future they will discover like a

13:48

more natural organic option for treating these mites

13:50

but right now like the only way

13:52

to do it is a chemical and i've

13:54

said it before and i'll say it

13:56

again they are making us sick with our

13:58

food and the bees are a sign

14:00

that we are we are all gonna get

14:03

sick and yes the human population would

14:05

would continue but the fact is the food

14:07

would be really expensive so people would

14:09

die from I mean, we already have food

14:11

deserts in the US, let alone around

14:13

the world. We would have more food deserts

14:15

because we'd have less food available. Now

14:18

we're going to have food scarcity. Now food

14:20

is going to skyrocket. We're going to have less

14:22

money to be able to buy as much

14:24

food. I mean, this could be

14:26

a really serious issue for the US if we

14:28

don't get it under control. But

14:31

let's move on. We

14:34

have all seen Jurassic Park.

14:37

When scientists start messing with

14:39

DNA that's extinct, it

14:41

doesn't typically end well. But no one

14:43

learns, like just like with Terminator and

14:45

AI, like everyone's like, oh, it's fine.

14:48

So anyway, on April 7th,

14:50

Colossal Biosciences announced the

14:52

world's first de -extinction. They

14:55

birthed three dire wolves. Dire

14:57

wolves are wolves that live during the Ice

14:59

Age. These wolves were huge.

15:02

They averaged 130 to 200

15:04

pounds and were about five

15:06

feet long from nose to

15:08

tail. The average

15:10

shoulder height was around 3 .2

15:12

feet. And for comparison, the

15:14

modern gray wolves have an average

15:16

shoulder height of 26 to 32 inches.

15:19

Just like in Jurassic Park, the

15:22

company didn't create the animals

15:24

from a fully reconstructed like dire

15:26

wolf genome. They

15:28

relied on genetics from the

15:30

gray wolf and made some

15:32

changes based on ancient DNA

15:34

recovered from two dire wolf

15:36

specimens. Because

15:38

of this, many scientists are actually

15:40

saying like the dire wolf

15:42

isn't back because it isn't genetically

15:44

identical to a dire wolf. But

15:47

this dire wolf gray wolf crossbreed

15:49

thing gives the wolf the core

15:51

attributes they were looking for, which

15:53

is size, body type and face

15:55

shape. But like chickens

15:57

are said to be descendants of

15:59

t -rexes. So are they going to

16:02

make a chicken t -rex crossbreed

16:04

next? But the

16:06

dire wolf isn't the only thing

16:08

that colossal biosciences has created. Just

16:11

last month they announced

16:13

the creation of transgenic mice.

16:16

They are called woolly mice

16:18

because they have these

16:20

long luscious golden blocks inspired

16:22

by the coats of

16:24

woolly mammoths. Yep, they're

16:27

making wooly mice. Transgenic

16:30

mice are not new. They

16:33

are mice that have had their

16:35

genomes altered through genetic engineering, but

16:37

what was different about this is

16:39

that it was the first time

16:41

to engineer eight edits across seven

16:44

genes, and to do so simultaneously

16:46

in one animal. The

16:48

researchers also note that across

16:50

three experiments, each of which

16:52

use different combinations of edits,

16:54

the method worked with high

16:56

efficiency, resulting in living animals

16:58

that presented the traits they

17:00

were bred for. This

17:03

just poses a lot of questions

17:05

as like, what they're going to do

17:07

next? Are they going to try

17:09

to completely recreate this dire wolf genome?

17:12

Are we going to have

17:14

Jurassic Park? and go see dinosaurs.

17:16

As much as my son thinks that

17:18

he wants to see a real -life dinosaur,

17:20

I don't. And I think that we should

17:22

really pump the brakes on these things. I feel like

17:24

we've got Jurassic Park, we've got Terminator, we've got all

17:26

kinds of weird movies, we leave the world behind, all

17:28

kinds of things happening in real life, and we need

17:30

to chill the fuck out. This

19:01

of chilling out, is President Trump

19:03

manipulating the stock market for personal gain

19:05

for him and his friends? So

19:09

Donald Trump has been adamant

19:11

about implementing tariffs in our country

19:13

like on goods coming in.

19:15

Tariffs are taxes charged on goods

19:17

brought from other countries to

19:19

our country. On April

19:22

2nd, he announced a 10 %

19:24

baseline tax on imports from all

19:26

countries. But there

19:28

were higher rates for dozens

19:30

of nations that run trade surpluses

19:32

with the US. This

19:34

included a 34 % tax on

19:36

imports from China, a 20 %

19:38

tax on imports from the

19:40

EU, 25 % on South Korea,

19:43

24 % on Japan, and 32 %

19:45

on Taiwan. However, earlier

19:47

this year, he already put a 20

19:49

% tax on all Chinese imports. The

19:52

10 % minimum tariffs took

19:54

effect on April 5th and

19:56

the higher percentages took effect

19:58

April 9th. The tariffs stoke

20:00

fears that a full -blown trade

20:02

war could severely hurt global

20:04

economic growth among other things

20:06

because people are freaking out

20:09

about these tariffs. The

20:11

announcement of these tariffs caused

20:13

a huge drop in the

20:15

stock market. On April 4th,

20:17

the S &P crashed 5 .97%.

20:19

Dow Jones ended with a

20:21

loss of 5 .5 % and

20:23

Nasdaq plunged 5 .73%. And

20:25

that's where it sat all

20:27

weekend. When it opened

20:30

on April 7th, it wasn't any better. Dow

20:32

Jones futures was down over

20:34

2%. And it wasn't just

20:37

here in the US. In

20:39

Asia, Nikiai crashed 7 %

20:41

and Hang saying crashed over

20:43

9 % during the session on

20:45

April 7th. Thus, the S

20:47

&P 500 saw the biggest

20:50

weekly drop since March 2020

20:52

and the NASDAQ composite crashed

20:54

more than 20 % from its

20:56

record high last December. The

20:59

Dow Jones industrial average has

21:01

suffered losses of over 10 %

21:03

from its December record high. Just

21:05

after midnight on April 9th,

21:07

there were reciprocal tariffs, which were

21:09

the higher rates went into

21:12

effect. And then just hours later,

21:14

Trump's administration said it will

21:16

suspend most of these higher rates

21:18

for 90 days. They

21:20

would maintain the 10 % though.

21:23

That is on everyone except for

21:25

China. So he had already

21:27

raised tariffs on China. He then

21:29

raised the tariffs to 125%,

21:31

but because he already had that

21:33

20 % on them, and it

21:35

was actually 145%, Tariff on

21:37

Chinese goods coming in which we

21:39

get most of our stuff

21:41

from China So of course this

21:43

made China want to retaliate

21:45

and they started an import tax

21:47

on American goods to 84

21:49

percent However, just before the administration

21:51

suspended the tariffs Trump stated

21:53

that it would be a great

21:55

time to buy kind of

21:57

like Like a wink wink nudge

22:00

Now's the time right now go go go

22:04

because he referenced his own media

22:06

company, DJT, in this open

22:08

letter that he was like, hey

22:10

guys, everyone buy right now. And

22:13

just minutes later, stocks

22:15

exploded upwards, closing

22:17

the day with an

22:19

increase of 9 .52%. So

22:21

anyway, this is leading

22:23

people to accuse Trump

22:25

of insider trading. An

22:27

investigation has actually begun

22:29

into this accusation. What

22:32

is insider trading? basically making moves

22:34

in the stock market based on information

22:36

that is not public knowledge. Like

22:38

if the president knows he is

22:40

going to do something like implement tariffs

22:42

or suspend them and knows that

22:45

it's going to have an effect on

22:47

the stock market like we just

22:49

saw and they make moves based on

22:51

that information and profit from it.

22:53

That's insider trading. Charles

22:55

Schwab made over two billion dollars

22:57

in his net worth from this

22:59

market crash and then rise up

23:02

again. It's been a

23:04

very volatile market since the end of

23:06

March. So like if you're in the

23:08

stock market right now, just hold on

23:10

for dear life. But the question is,

23:12

did Trump do this on purpose? Did

23:15

he announce the tariffs knowing he

23:17

was going to suspend them just a

23:19

few days later? I don't like

23:21

to get too political even though like I feel like I

23:23

get political every single week. But like

23:25

I think both sides are corrupt. So that's

23:27

why I'm like, ah, they both suck.

23:29

But we know that Nancy Pelosi is known

23:31

for doing things like this for insider

23:34

trading like it's widely accepted that that's how

23:36

she got as rich as she is

23:38

but that doesn't make it okay just because

23:40

the democrats jump off a bridge doesn't

23:42

mean the republicans should do it no like

23:44

nobody should be doing any of this

23:46

we should stop all of this i think

23:48

that they have way too much power

23:50

we need to chill out like everyone needs

23:52

to calm down all of government we

23:54

need to take their power a little bit

23:57

and be like you guys need to

23:59

check yourself last time i checked you work

24:01

for me So

24:05

you're not getting rich on the

24:07

back of the Americans that are

24:09

going to be spending more money

24:11

because of these tariffs And it's not

24:13

just us like the whole the

24:15

whole world is going to be

24:17

affected by this Or is being

24:19

affected by this And that brings

24:21

us to our next story about the

24:23

measles outbreak in Texas So the

24:25

Texas Department of State Health Services

24:28

is reporting an outbreak of measles

24:30

primarily in West Texas 561

24:33

cases have been confirmed since

24:35

late January. 58

24:37

% of the patients have

24:39

been hospitalized, not all at

24:41

the same time over the span.

24:43

Not everybody is hospitalized right this second.

24:45

They clarified that in several articles

24:48

where they're like, not all 58 %

24:50

are hospitalized now, but over the span

24:52

of the time of this outbreak,

24:54

58 % of patients that got measles

24:56

were hospitalized for it. And

24:58

there were two deaths. that were measles

25:00

related, and I put that in quotes because we're gonna

25:03

get into one of those deaths in just a minute.

25:05

According to the World Health Organization,

25:08

measles is a highly contagious

25:10

disease caused by a virus. It

25:13

spreads when an infected

25:15

person breathes, coughs, or sneezes.

25:18

It is more common in children,

25:20

but can affect anyone and

25:22

everyone. Symptoms of

25:25

measles usually begin 10

25:27

to 15 days after

25:29

exposure with the rash

25:31

being the most visible

25:33

symptom. Early symptoms

25:35

include running nose, cough, and

25:38

red watery eyes along with

25:40

the rash. But measles

25:42

can cause death. Most deaths

25:44

are from complications related to

25:46

the disease. These include blindness, encephalitis

25:49

which is an infection

25:51

causing brain swelling and potentially

25:53

brain damage, severe

25:55

diarrhea and dehydration, ear

25:58

infections, and severe breathing

26:00

problems including pneumonia. A

26:02

mother of the first child

26:04

that died of measles spoke out

26:06

on social media so she

26:08

actually took her child into the

26:10

hospital due to pneumonia and

26:12

RSV. not measles. The hospital

26:14

then gave the child the MMR vaccination

26:16

because they were not vaccinated against it.

26:19

The MMR vaccination is measles,

26:21

mumps, and rubella. This

26:23

vaccine is like a two -part vaccine

26:25

and it has live weakened viruses as

26:28

the antigen. According to the

26:30

Cleveland Clinic website on the MMR

26:32

vaccine, under who shouldn't get the

26:34

MMR vaccine, It states a weakened

26:36

immune system among like other reasons

26:38

why you shouldn't get the vaccine.

26:40

One of them being like if

26:42

you're allergic to the MMR vaccine.

26:44

But if you have a weakened

26:46

immune system, you should not get

26:48

the MMR vaccine. Well,

26:51

the mom brings her sick child into

26:53

the hospital who has breathing issues,

26:55

right? RSV pneumonia. They're struggling to breathe.

26:57

They're coming to the hospital because

26:59

something is wrong. And the hospital is

27:01

like, oh, You're not vaccinated for

27:03

MMR, we're gonna go ahead and vaccinate

27:05

you. I don't know if they

27:07

asked the parent permission before they did

27:09

this. I would hope so, but

27:12

I don't know. I know

27:14

that they gave this child

27:16

the vaccine, then the child

27:18

died. Whether it was from

27:20

the vaccine or just from the complications of the breathing

27:22

issues they were already having, that's

27:24

also unclear. But when they died,

27:26

the death was ruled a measles death. Well,

27:28

it's a measles related death because you just

27:30

gave them a live vaccine. So if you're

27:32

going to test them now, they're going to

27:34

test positive for measles. They actively have measles

27:37

in their body because you just gave it

27:39

to them in a vaccine form. How

27:43

is this like any different than COVID when

27:45

everything like a car accident? Oh, they had

27:47

COVID. Heart attack. Oh, they had COVID. Like

27:50

during COVID, especially like the beginning

27:52

year, any death was

27:54

related to COVID, right? Well, in

27:57

this situation, this mom was

27:59

like, My kid didn't have the

28:01

measles. They were sick. They had

28:03

pneumonia. They had RSV. They didn't have measles.

28:05

But now they're calling it a measles -related

28:07

death because the vaccine was given to the

28:09

child. In

28:11

many of the articles that

28:14

I read about this, they

28:16

specified that both children that

28:18

died were unvaccinated. And

28:20

they said, well, if you're vaccinated, then you

28:22

probably wouldn't get the measles. Well, when

28:24

you're doing the research, they say that sometimes

28:26

the vaccine doesn't stick. So you could

28:28

be vaccinated and still get the measles and

28:30

still potentially die from it. But

28:32

I'm wondering if this outbreak

28:34

is kind of like scaring people

28:36

into vaccinating potentially because I

28:39

feel like there's this vaccination war

28:41

happening right now. We

28:43

see this with COVID and I think that

28:45

after COVID and with the vaccine, there became

28:47

a line of people that are like, I'm

28:49

not vaccinating now because I'm. pretty nervous

28:51

about it, and other people are like, oh,

28:53

I'm still going to vaccinate, not a problem.

28:55

But because there's like a more definitive like,

28:57

hey, I'm pretty nervous about vaccines now,

28:59

which happened because of COVID, I

29:02

think that there's this almost like this war

29:04

going on between the vaxxers and the anti

29:06

-vaxxers. Big Pharma is trying to push, they're

29:08

like, hey, you should vaccinate your

29:10

children. So that makes me start

29:12

to question like, where did these

29:14

measles pop up from? Because measles aren't

29:16

very prevalent here in the US anymore. So

29:18

like all of a sudden we got

29:20

measles from somewhere. Where did they, where, where

29:22

did the first case come from? Which

29:24

I don't have the information for. But

29:27

also, is this a ploy

29:29

to get those anti -vaxxers or there's those

29:31

non -vaxxers? I don't think everybody's anti -vaxx.

29:33

I think that they're nervous. They're scared of

29:35

the vaccines. I think this is a

29:37

very big conversation happening in the U .S.

29:40

right now, that we are scared of vaccines.

29:43

So now you're like, like making them scared

29:45

that their child's gonna die because of

29:47

measles. when complications don't

29:49

happen in every single case.

29:52

I understand that complications can happen, but complications

29:54

can happen with anything at any time. But

29:57

you have people questioning vaccines

29:59

and their efficacy. So

30:01

again, was this outbreak

30:03

planned to prove a point or

30:05

to scare parents into getting their

30:07

kids vaccinated? And

30:10

why are they pushing vaccines

30:12

so hard? Like that's another

30:14

question that we need to start questioning. And

30:17

why isn't it more of a

30:19

choice? Why can't the parents ask intelligent

30:21

questions? Why can't we be told

30:23

what's in the vaccines? Like you have

30:25

to look it up and then

30:27

like really search for it. And I

30:29

really searched for it. But instead,

30:31

the doctors, the schools, the

30:33

public, people are going to

30:35

judge you for questioning the mainstream.

30:38

But we should be allowed to

30:40

question things that aren't normal or

30:42

that we are nervous about. I'm

30:44

nervous about this vaccine. Can you give

30:46

me more information on it? I don't

30:48

want to hear that it's 99 .9 %

30:50

effective. Where does it come from?

30:52

What's inside of it? Why do I need

30:54

it? How prevalent is this

30:57

disease in the area in which I

30:59

live? But we're

31:01

not allowed to ask those questions. Speaking

31:05

of questions, we're not allowed to ask, why

31:07

was another CEO killed in a helicopter crash? Why?

31:10

Why? What's

31:12

happening to these CEOs? Not

31:14

to CEOs like I mean

31:16

Kobe Bryant died in a

31:19

helicopter crash too on April

31:21

10th a sightseeing helicopter operated

31:23

by New York helicopter charter

31:25

Incorporated crashed into the Hudson

31:27

River killing six people on

31:29

board was Augustine Escobar his

31:31

wife Marseille and their three

31:33

children Victor the youngest Mercedes

31:35

their middle child in Augustine.

31:37

I'm assuming junior Augustine

31:40

Senior was the

31:43

CEO of rail infrastructure

31:45

at Siemens Mobility. The

31:48

pilot was Sean Johnson, a

31:50

US Navy veteran who received

31:52

his commercial pilot's license in

31:54

2023. Following this

31:56

incident, the operations director agreed to

31:59

suspend flights during the investigation, which he

32:01

was asked about by the FAA.

32:03

He was like, yeah, no problem. And

32:05

then 16 minutes later, after the

32:07

operations director agreed to you know, ceasing

32:09

operations for a little while as

32:11

they investigate what's happening. The

32:13

CEO came out and was like, whoa,

32:16

whoa, whoa, get out of here. I did

32:18

not, I did not authorize this halt.

32:20

You will not be stopping operations here. And

32:22

he fired the operations director. The

32:24

federal aviation regulators got involved and issued

32:26

an emergency order grounding the helicopter company

32:28

because they're like, you need to chill

32:30

out. Like, what if you guys are

32:32

doing something wrong? And that's actually, I'm

32:34

wondering if the CEO is trying to

32:36

cover some things up. They

32:39

say that the crash is due to

32:41

mechanical failure, like the main rotor blade and

32:43

head and the tail rotor blade came

32:45

off the aircraft. The propellers

32:47

came off the helicopter. That's

32:50

one hell of a failure. Are you

32:52

kidding me? The US

32:54

Army Corps of Engineers and the

32:56

Jersey City's Office of Emergency

32:58

Management recovered and secured the main

33:00

rotor system and the tail

33:02

rotor system, which they need for

33:04

this investigation. There

33:06

are a couple of weird things that have

33:08

come out in the days following this

33:10

crash, and I'm sure as time goes on,

33:12

more things will come out about the

33:14

crash and about what's happening. But

33:17

firstly, after takeoff, the pilot radioed

33:19

saying that he was low on fuel and

33:21

needed to come back and get more fuel,

33:23

which is weird. That's part

33:25

of your checklist before you takeoff, and you

33:27

would think if you're gonna do this

33:29

tour, and I'm assuming it's probably a

33:31

pretty expensive tour being in New York, that

33:34

You're going to check to make sure you

33:36

have enough fuel in your helicopter before

33:38

you take off. Siemens

33:40

was boosting US investment

33:43

by $10 billion for

33:45

American manufacturing jobs, software, and

33:47

AI infrastructure. And

33:49

BlackRock was involved. Imagine

33:51

that. They increased

33:53

their stake in Siemens

33:55

energy to 5 .36%. But

33:58

isn't it weird that all these

34:00

CEOs that have died under like circumstances

34:02

were in business with BlackRock? Which

34:05

of makes you wonder, if these

34:07

CEOs weren't complying with what BlackRock wanted,

34:09

so that's why they were taken

34:11

out? Not only

34:13

that, but Siemens was just found

34:15

guilty of wire fraud against GE

34:17

and Mitsubishi. They also

34:19

pled guilty to stealing

34:21

confidential competitor information and had

34:23

to pay $104 million

34:26

last year. And in

34:28

2020, they got sued

34:30

by Mississippi City for $89

34:32

million over water meter

34:34

mismanagement. And all these

34:36

things really make you think about what

34:38

Augustine knew or what he was ready

34:40

to tell the world about. Like,

34:42

was he going to give away

34:45

all of Seaman's secrets? Why did

34:47

they get rid of this guy? I

34:49

don't know, we're going keep an eye on that one because there's

34:51

something weird happening there. I mean, there's something

34:53

weird happening everywhere, right? But

34:56

course, until next week, my friends, stay

34:58

skeptical I will see you all then.
