And there's that draconian rule. I'm not gonna get this phrase right, but there's some line like ignorance of the law isn't an excuse for violating it, which is wild.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Which is wild that there can be laws that you're not even aware of and now you're responsible for it. So in this case, I mean, if the law doesn't allow you to plead negligence, And not only, you're way past that, because you were claiming elite knowledge authority.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
I don't know, there's probably a better way to put that, but you were saying, I'm the most knowledgeable, so everyone needs to listen to me. So for one, you shouldn't then be able to claim negligence later because you actually exerted elite knowledge authority, and then you were actually just lying.

So yeah, there's absolutely no excuse for being this lady and feeling comfortable just coming out on television and now flipping the script and like you said, Goebbels just joining the allies and going, why would anyone say that about Jews? That's terrible. You can't say such things.
Part Of The Problem

Turns out it was short sighted and it might have actually harmed pharma profits as more of the country doesn't trust them. And now the outsider that was criticized them has gotten the government post. Maybe the short sightedness of two years of great profits wasn't worth ruining our entire industry by forcing everyone to get one of our things that wasn't that good.

I got some new sketches out. So if you don't already, follow me on YouTube, Rob of the Fire, all one word. And start emailing me with those porches, robsnewsroom at gmail.com. We're putting it together. It's nearly the season of porches.

I'm sure it's not criminal because it's got the old Fauci. I was just making recommendations. Sure, I was the head authority and I took the authority and I got on television. But me, I never said the things I was saying. That was the CDC. I was that guy. I was that guy. You know, I'm sure she's got the same plausible deniability of I was just making recommendations.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Well, the things that really jumped out at me was first her complaint about the transparency of how Elon Musk is doing the slashing. Yeah. She doesn't seem to be concerned with the transparency of how the money's being spent. If anything, he's bringing transparency to fraud and abuse, but you don't seem to be concerned with government just having $4 trillion going to unknown places.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
So, and we're also, we're still at the start of this one. So I don't want to, I don't want to jump too far ahead and endorse too much of Doge because we'll see how it plays out. And if they continue to spot fraud, great. And if this seems to be some sort of a data collection scheme by Elon Musk, then bad, but we'll see.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
It feels to me like at the moment I'm watching the makings of another Russia collusion story where they're very specifically saying that they're not looking for people's entitlement programs. They're looking for fraud and abuse. They're coming out with stories of finding fraud and abuse. And then you get these people on the news that are going, no, they have no interest in fraud and abuse.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
They're really going to get rid of your entitlement programs.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
And like you were pointing out, they're literally telling you, hey, and we're engaged in propaganda because it's our job not to report the information, but to re-educate the American public that there's risk here that they can't even fathom, nor am I able to articulate, but just everyone trust us that what's happening here is not what they're telling you and we need to put an end to it, even if it looks helpful.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Uh, it's amazing to me. And I hope same as Deborah Birx, this lady should be held responsible because if you're working at the New York times and it turns out that they're actually just cleaning up fraud and abuse and you're telling people we need to put an end to it because they're coming for your entitlement programs. That's a pretty bold lie.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
I just can't stand boogeyman logic of what was going on during the election, Project 2025, and if it's enacted, well then what? What exactly is the risk? Or in this case with the IRS audit, it happens to be, from what I understand, there's one person on the Doge team that has security clearance that will then be able to, I guess, review the IRS and do some sort of audit.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
and all of the complaints are about, well, the big data, the big data. The big data has already been collected. It's already in government hands. So now it's another person with government security clearance that's going to review it, I think in my interest to see what the IRS is up to. Can you explain to me what the risk is here?
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
I'm open to the storyline, but when it's just boogeyman logic of, if it's a complaint about data collection, well then why aren't we complaining about government data collection? And why aren't you writing newspaper articles about the relationship between AT&T and all these other companies that sell big data to the government? Or what about all the data that they harvest offshore?
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Remember what happened with Tucker Carlson when it became clear that they were wiretapping him? So if the complaints about big government data collection, where are all those news stories? Why is it suddenly when there's one person assigned by the government with security clearance that's going to review what they're doing, that the data collection's a problem?
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
This one is so irritating because if you wanted to give a one minute summary of my position on the COVID vaccines, it's what you're about to hear from this lady. And it's five years too late. And when you were saying it at the time, you were being pulled down from the internet.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Now there might be a little bit of variation in that I also talked about, you know, the emergency authorities government was seizing, but in terms of just the vaccine, this is nearly exactly what I was saying five years ago in two sentences, except coming from one of the people that was responsible for everything that was not this information five years ago.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Any thoughts, Rob? I think this is going to be the new Russia collusion story with just the level of lying that's coming from the press. You know what's most interesting about that clip is she says that the political story is not true. So somebody's blatantly lying.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Either Politico had a newsletter that was $40,000 subscription that the US was paying and they were giving them, what was the, I forget the number. Was it 4 million a year? I forget the number, but either there was a number that the US government was paying to Politico or not. So like that one should be black and white.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
If you're a journalist, do you have the receipts for why Elon Musk was just lying on that? Because it was reported by a number of news outlets. Or are you literally just lying? Because if you're just on the news lying, shouldn't there be, I don't know, a defamation or something? How do you just get up and say that's not true? They are lying to you.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Politico is not getting money from the United States government. Because then you're leaving me here. I don't know how to research these things. Who's on?
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
Hey, man, it's like sniffing your own farts. You know, at some point you get used to hearing yourself talk and you kind of prefer it.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
So I didn't catch this the first time. The lady's pretty slick with her words. So some of the things that just catch me is at the time I was saying, hey, this isn't really a vaccine. They're just using the word vaccine as marketing purposes. And she still calls it a vaccine, but she augments it now to an mRNA vaccine to let you know.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
So that's the first one. Then the second one is, and she's already come out and said this since, but never studied for infection, not supposed to work for infections like you said, then that's not new information. I didn't even catch this the first time watching it, but she's being slick by saying we should have given it to the elderly first.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
So she's not really walking back that we gave it to the young, but she's being a little bit slick in the way that she's describing it of that the young didn't really need it. The reason I, you know, this is old news. We've covered this a lot of times. It's just how flagrant it is coming from her.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
And as you're hearing the entire system yell about both that we can't end the Ukraine war because it makes America look weak and that's a mistake and we're just giving it to Putin, blah, blah, blah. or that Doge is not actually unraveling any fraud in government whatsoever.
Part Of The Problem
People Need to be Prosecuted
And that there's a danger of Elon Musk having sets of information and that this is actually the, you know, them trying to ruin our government and take away your entitlement programs. It's good to see the extent by which the entire apparatus will lie to you and not to rely on the machine.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
off the bat when i saw that he requested everyone in government has to send a short email with five things they did in the prior week what they were working on and if they don't it's considered as if they're handing in their resignation and as much as i like what doge is doing that is some you boss activity because firstly you can fire me or i can quit not doing something is not me resigning
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
So that's just like a nasty boss move of no, you have to do this or you're resigning. Like, no, you can fire me for not doing the thing. It's not considered. So I don't like that little game. And there's also just something about the pettiness of having to sit down and just do homework because the boss says, hey, I need you to do this homework.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
so at first even as much as i don't like government employees and a lot of them shouldn't have their jobs i saw that from elon musk i was like you boss i'm not writing this email uh then elon musk claimed because that was the attitude of a lot of people of this is boss behavior
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
that uh they're trying to clean i don't know if this is true he said they're trying to clean up for fraud and they think that there's a lot of dead email addresses that are collecting paychecks and that this was a simple way to at least figure out who's on payroll and who might just be i i i i don't know that that's true and then you had uh cash it's also unless that's one's coming from donald trump that seems crazy to automatically fire government employees if they're not doing a specific elon musk
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
regarded homework assignment that doesn't seem like the best way to be finding fraud and abuse that seems like boss behavior for hey i'm in charge here and you're going to be compliant towards me uh so it it's tough to get elon musk back on this particular way of finding the fraud and abuse i'm all for finding the fraud and abuse i'm all for firing you know shitty government workers i can't imagine that this is the most sophisticated way to do it
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
I think that's a nonsense weasel out from her. I don't think Elon Musk is actually looking for progress reports as much as, hey, here's your weekend homework assignment. And I think you could sit there and say, I was working on five classified debriefings, and that would be the end of the homework assignment.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
I think cash and Tulsi were basically going, Hey, we just got here. We're going to run our departments. So lay off.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
I do like the back to work or get fired. That one seems fair. of, Hey, if you don't even want your job enough to figure out how to report in for it, you can't have this job anymore. And then you could have the boss that comes forward and goes, no, this guy's a high productivity worker and he's autistic. He doesn't work well in the office.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Who those people are. But that one, that one feels like a very fair bitch out of, Nope, we're coming back to actual in office work. And if you don't want this job enough to show up for it, you can't have it. But that's being fired. That's once again, it doesn't have that thing of, well, then you're resigning.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
So anyway, how many people went into chat GPT and said, give me five things. A person with this government title might've worked on last week.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
I agree. That seems like Javier Malay on this one when Hawk to a coin girl, but I, and at least from the Hawk to a girl, it's the fucking Hawk to a girl. Why are you taking investment advice from her? I could see why there's a slightly more of a fraud element. Well, all right, here's the real fraud element.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
is that you think if the government's backing it, that it might become something that the government's actually working on. And then same as like the U.S. dollar as currency because I can use it on my taxes. So you might actually think that there's value there. But then you're still trying to front run the government.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
It's no different than having gotten suckered into putting all your money into a windmill company because you thought that the government was going to continue to buy windmills. So, you know, it's almost no different than any other government policy that tries to get people excited that the government's backing some particular technology or industry or buying additional defense contracts.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
It's not that much different, except in this case, I don't know what the inherent value... Like, at least you can argue the plane contracts that got canceled to Boeing that you thought were going to drive profits for Boeing...
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
there's a physical good there i don't know why he's backing libra i don't know anything about it or as to like if it was you know if you wanted to claim it was some sort of a payment processing that they were going to incorporate i have no idea but i don't even know what the argument is for why if you're the leader of a country you're backing some fringe cryptocurrency i don't even like it just it seems
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Okay, what I think he gets incredibly wrong is that the regulation of the stock market, the way that the Fed exists, the way the entire game is played is more similar to if you thought you had brakes on your car, and then when you went to press the brakes, it turns out that you just injected NOS into the engine.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And this is the big wet dream of liberals everywhere is that we need government to protect us from corporations, except government is the tools that the corporations use that they don't have to actually compete and create value in the marketplace and so that they can do everything themselves.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
that the left pretends that they're afraid of corporations doing which is exploiting us all for money in an honest market they have to create value and that's the only way that they can extract money from you is if they are giving you something of value in return government is what steps in and changes the rules of the games that they can just extract wealth yes look there is a tendency
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
So I'm sorry, but anyway, just about coffee Zilla, who I never, I think I've heard of before and blast for being a dumb ass.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Also, just to expand a little bit, it's all in the back of fractional reserve banking and the ability of the Fed to bail out Wall Street every single time that they explode one of their credit asset bubbles. And so the point being, if you think you're being protected by government while it's only throwing fuel on the fire, that's not more helpful.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Firstly, Bongino getting in there is a big win for bald loudmouths. So in terms of, you know, just looking at the economic landscape and seeing what your career trajectory could be, the fact that a bald podcaster who talks a lot of shit just got a job in the political administration and a real job at that is pretty cool.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Well, I was just kind of thinking in my head, you know, idiots are going to idiot. And that doesn't mean that you should go out and scam people. But if someone decides that, you know, there's people that lose money in casinos every single year. And I don't know why some people should have the right to operate a casino and other people shouldn't.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
It's just that government gives a handout to some people that they get to have the business of a casino and other people can't.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
if i want to have meme coins and sell you meme coins and you're a person that wants to buy meme coins why is a government regulator coming into that market how does that help if there's a market for meme coins and people are going to buy meme coins which is essentially hey i'm going to gamble on which one of these artificially goes up and when i could sell it why does it help to just let single individuals and companies work in that field under the guidance of government
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Exactly. I mean, just a couple of years ago, they were keeping us out of all jobs and industries. And you know, it's nice to see a turnaround as we get rid of the DEI. So that, that makes me feel good. I I'm not too familiar with his work, but I know he talked a lot of shit about when they tried to kill Donald Trump and And I think he really dove into the Russia collusion story.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
So I just think and then you look at like health care. So I guess on you could have products that just don't do anything for you. I saw you flower petals and I tell you they're good for your health and you purchase them. Lavender oil doesn't matter. Just something that doesn't work. And then the worst version of that is I gave you something that can actually be bad for you.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And then you go, oh, I can't have people just selling things that might actually be bad for people's health. We need a regulator in. But then look at what the regulators have done. They forced people to get COVID vaccines. How's that helpful?
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And not only that, but they keep products off the marketplace that would be more cost effective or could like, I don't want to sit here researching what peptides actually have healing properties that the FDA won't allow me to have. or whether or not their painkillers are better than like a Kratom, but that's, that's the way we work.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And are those regulators actually to my benefit or would be better if we got rid of that signal completely. And so that, you know, people with better incentives came into like, I used to keep kosher. There was this organization called the OU. And if you go look at packages, there's a little thing that certifies, Hey, that's kosher.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
maybe be better off with independent regulators on all this stuff that are actually paid for by the consumers that go hey we went in we did our homework on this it's actually pretty good for you because it seems like uh the market mechanisms of the government regulators just favor large corporations yeah yeah no that's exactly right exactly right all right let's let's keep playing
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And so I think Trump's doing, like you said, a much better job of making sure that he has loyalists around him. And, I mean, we're seeing him actually push forward with his agenda this time around in a way he never was able to when they concocted that bullshit Russia story the last time. And it's also fun to have all these just good-looking television personalities surrounding him.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
like from one end to the other, but like imagine this one, I have the technical, it's there's a protons, uh, neutrons and come.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
I think you're right. And it's probably owed to the American people in some capacity with these picks. However, you know, there's that old saying the best revenge is a life well lived.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And I think if the FBI were to turn its focus into actually prosecuting all the pedophiles that exist in this country, maybe cleaning up the fentanyl and then just reporting, you know, there was a, I forgot what the number was, but there was a massive amount of the FBI that was allocated just to prosecuting and rounding up the January six people.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
And now, four years later, let's just say you put 100,000 pedophiles in jail and are able to go look at what the Biden administration left on the streets. And so I think if they, while prosecuting, there's a lot of mess to be cleaned up. And if I had to pick what should be prosecuted, it would be the COVID-19 scandal and going after Fauci and the relationship between big pharma and government.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
In terms of the FBI and CIA, I think a lot of those people will probably get fired. And if you actually just start using those agencies for good, I think that becomes the like just the biggest condemnation of the way that these agencies have been used in the past.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Because look at the terrible crimes that went unpunished and unnoticed as you just use the resources to basically prosecute political prisoners.
Part Of The Problem
The Left vs. Reality
Anyway, I can't complain. Pecan pie from the supermarket and went to sleep around 9 PM. It was great.
