Okay, repeat after me. Oh, since we last spoke. >> Oh, since we last spoke, >> helicopters have been crashing. Billionaires have been preparing for the end of the world. The military have now joined Gen Z protesters. Markets crashed and crypto saw the largest liquidation event in history. And after 2 years, all of the remaining alive Israeli hostages have been returned. So, pretty quiet weekend all around. All of that and so much more. Subscribe to the channel for reasons I cannot think of in the moment. And let's stop the yapping and let's go back. Yeah, my back is feeling better today. Woo! After a whole month of breathing this crap in, I know that I'm going to die. Okay, I think it's only right to be kicking today off with the news that many people believed we would not be reporting on today. All 20 of the last remaining alive Israeli hostages have now been returned. It is done. Huge crowds gathered and broke out into celebrations as the hostages were reunited with their families for the first time in 2 years. Also, the bodies of 28 deceased Israeli hostages will also be handed over today. In exchange, buses carrying 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1,700 detainees from Gaza have also started arriving in Ramla. And the crowds waiting for them on the other side, they were also ecstatic to see them get back. Now, there's also been some discussion on why people are referring to the Palestinians as prisoners, whereas the Israelis as hostages. And if you look at it, the vast majority of publications, including, in fact, I didn't find anyone that didn't do this, uh, and this includes Al Jazzer, Hamas themselves, uh, they've all referred to the Israelis as hostages and the Palestinians as prisoners. Now, this seems to just be down to commonly used definitions. So a hostage is typically a person kept for leverage, a condition or to negotiate an outcome. Whereas a prisoner is someone held in captivity following a criminal conviction uh in a court of law. Now it should be noted that Israel have had trials for thousands of Palestinians that they have been keeping. But not all. Many others, including children, have been detained indefinitely without due process. So the question is, what are they? Are they hostages? Do you need to specifically be using them as a bargaining chip in negotiations for them to be referred to as that? Have Israel done that? Point is, without getting caught up in all of the definitions, there is some debate on the terminology that is used. Now, Donald Trump has also just arrived in Israel on Air Force One and he was greeted by Netanyahu on arrival. He then headed to Jerusalem where, this is an interesting part, he became the only the fourth US president ever to address the Israeli parliament and also the first to do so in nearly two decades. So that really puts it into perspective how significant the moment that this is right now. Also, uh Trump was asked if he would want to visit Gaza and he said uh I would like to or at least put my feet on it. He also said many times the war is now over which I mean I guess we'll see because remember this is only the first step and there are still so many very difficult issues that haven't yet been addressed or figured out but in saying that so many people were doubtful even when the you know it was announced that they had agreed to this that the first stage wouldn't be complete yet here we are. So, who knows what could happen next? And this is by far the biggest progress that is being made uh in the last 2 years. Caroline Levit posted a video from Air Force One of the View as they were traveling to Israel saying it's a new dawn in the Middle East. Do you agree? What do you guys think? Does this mark a new dawn in the Middle East? And if not, what uh what do you need to see to happen for you to consider and agree with that statement? Let me know in the comments. But for now, moving on. How you doing down there? >> Yeah. How you doing up there? >> Yeah. I feel like we can get feel like we can get a bit >> fine. >> Get a bit more smoky in there. Be >> Yeah. You your throat's okay. >> Ready? >> How good is that? >> That's puny. >> Oh, you're >> Come on. >> Yeah, but it's going to rise. >> Woo! Look at that [ __ ] Come on. >> Empire tornado. >> He's a wizard. I am a wizard. Okay guys, we got some breaking news coming to you. You shouldn't be getting it in this episode, but you are because the Empire loves to overd deliver. Police have just confirmed that they have arrested streamer HS Tickytalkie after a yearong manhunt. Here's what we know so far. So, police issued a warrant for Harrison's arrest all the way last year in March. And uh this is because he missed a court appearance for dangerous driving. Now, he is accused of fleeing the scene after a car crash that left three people injured. It was with another car as well. Uh, and he was later, when he didn't return up to court, charged with using his phone while driving, driving without insurance, failure to stop after an accident, failing to report an accident, dangerous driving, etc. Um, and the thing is he's accused of not just fleeing the scene afterwards, but also fleeing the entire country, which is why it was a year-long manhunt. And yeah, I know he's he streamed every day and stuff, but what are the Essex police going to do if bro is in another country? All right, they're not going to get on a plane and it's not that deep. You know, that's what they're probably saying. Uh but if he ever returned to the UK, which ultimately was inevitable, that's where he is from. Um this would happen. He would get arrested. So he was arrested on Friday. He appeared in court on Saturday. And then he uh is actually being held further for another court appearance, which is tomorrow. And the thing is, usually for the what he was being charged with, it usually is just points on the license. Fine. But because he left the country, he didn't turn up to court. That could be seen as an aggravating factor which could come with additional charges and that could complicate things. So, um, we'll we'll find out tomorrow and I'll update you guys on Wednesday. Uh, hope you guys are having a great time in the studio. Love you. Moving on. Also over the weekend, if you own any cryptocurrency, I can see your tears. Multiple market data services and outlets called this the biggest single day liquidation wave on record. Roughly $20 billion in leverage positions were liquidated in about 24 hours. And as crazy as that is, that's not even the main story on what we're talking about. Okay, it's getting a bit smoky in here. >> That's puny. Oh, you >> come on. >> Yeah, but it's going to rise. >> Look at that [ __ ] Come on, boy. >> The craziest part is the video that Coffeezilla just posted after all of this titled, "What did Trump know?" And the interesting thing about this is that many are saying that Trump's truth social post where he threatened China with 100% tariffs. Uh that that was the trigger for the incredible crash that we saw. But in all the chaos, one mystery trader made $190 million in 24 hours off of this tweet. Sus. Oh yeah, that's more than 99.9% make in a lifetime. And bro's doing this in a day. Just wait till you learn how he made it. So, according to Coffeezilla, on the 9th of October, some mystery trader started placing massive shorts um 80 million in uh against Bitcoin and 30 million against Ethereum. And for anyone wondering, a short is basically like a prediction that something is going to fall. And 80 million on Bitcoin, 30 million on Ethereum. That's a confident prediction. And key point, this mystery trader put this down before there was any public knowledge about Trump's tariff threats. So, at about 2:57 GMT, Trump posted this truth social post about increasing tariffs. But despite this, the trader continued shorting, suggesting that they maybe they were waiting for something bigger. Then, a few hours later, at 8:50 p.m. GMT, Trump announced those 100% tariffs against China. And then, just one single minute before then, the mystery trader placed his final short. signaling suggesting, "Yeah, he knew that this was going to do it." This person then closed all positions 30 minutes later, netting 190 million. So, I mean, the big question is, who is this person? Because their nearperfect timing suggests that they must have had prior knowledge to this tweet. Sorry, it's called this truth. Sending out a truth. Oh, it's not easy language to catch on. I'm not going to lie to you. But the bigger question on top of just who this person is is how is this legal? Because guess what? It absolutely is. Even if we found out exactly who this person is today, they wouldn't be charged with insider trading because that applies to securities, not necessarily crypto. And you know what's so ironic? This is this is right after we covered about Baron Trump being a 150 millionaire off of crypto. And now, hey, hey, hey, don't you put words in my mouth. I'm not even nearly suggesting that Baron had anything to do with it, okay? Or that this was him. I'm just simply pointing out the irony and the humor that we just covered Baron like, and we haven't in ages. So, shut up. But yeah, definitely go watch Coffeezilla's video because the way he puts it is pretty staggering. And he also suggesting that this isn't isolated to just the Trump announcement with China. He suggests it's with other things like with open AI, even with the Nobel Peace Prize. Someone somehow knew before. So the system right now appears to be favoring those with privileged information and also with little to no consequence. Moving on. But speaking about privileged information uh when it comes to the markets, I need to know what privileged information do the billionaires of the world have about the end of the world because according to a new report by the BBC over the weekend, quote, "Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we all be worried?" God damn. Want >> some more? >> Yes. Just give me more. And the thing is, you know, I can handle, you know, missing out on 190 million cuz I don't have access to Trump's truth social tweeting. But I cannot handle being left fighting zombies because I don't have the hookup on that information. That's what I I need to [ __ ] In this report, they detail that Mark Zuckerberg, for example, has been constructing this massive compound. We've actually covered this before in uh in Hawaii and he's been doing so for the past 10 years. Uh and it's capable of even providing its own food and energy. It's an underground shelter spanning about 5,000 square ft. Uh it has it's about which actually is only about the size of a basketball court. Guess it's not too big. But Zuckerberg, he has previously said, "This is not a doomsday bunker, guys. Chill out. It's a basement." Sure, buddy. And this is not a garage. It's a professional studio. He also more recently uh even included more underground shelter spaces, basements uh at his properties in California. And apparently his neighbors even call it his bat cave. Why your neighbors know about it, huh? But the thing is, if it was just Zach, that would be one thing. You know, he's a he's a unique individual. Let's say that. But apparently, according to this report, it is not. Reed Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, uh he also has arranged his own apocalypse insurance, and he claimed that about half of the billionaires that he knows have done the same. What What group chat are they in at this point? Half? That's crazy. I mean, let's be honest. Even if we were a part of this group chat, what would we what would we do? Huh? We're not We're not building our own bunkers. Probably the best thing you could do if you weren't a billionaire is go to like somewhere super remote like Alice Springs. But then if we all go to Alice Springs that it's kind of cooked. You can cut that part. I don't think anyone knows about Alice Springs. Alex, no one needs to know. Now, the report says that many of these billionaires have been buying up land in foreign countries uh for their own doomsday compounds with New Zealand being uh reportedly amongst the favorite. New Zealand, huh? We just covered a story about them, too. Weird. In his own words, Hoffman once said, "Saying you're buying a house in New Zealand is kind of like a wink wink, say no more, bro. They've even speaking in they've got their own code language now. This such a little tight-knit group, huh?" Anyway, what do you guys think? Do you think that they're prepping because they know something specific or it's just general end of the world preparations like like we all do? Kind of like cleaning our house, preparing for the end of the world. Moving on. Also, yet another wild incident took place over the weekend. A helicopter lost control, and I'm pretty sure you've probably seen videos of this already. Uh, it lost control and it crashed amongst the Huntington Beach in California. And because this happened in such a populated area, we got I think about a million maybe a million and one different angles of this thing going down. Like even I saw one from the point of where the helicopter crashed and they were literally just filming it right there. Crazy. Five people were hospitalized because of this. We don't exactly know their conditions right now. Uh and also three pedestrians that were on the ground. Now, they're still investigating the cause and why this crashed, but as you can see by one of the million different videos, uh the rear rotor seems to stop working. In fact, a piece of the chopper fell off onto the ground just before it crashed. Now, if you're wondering what was this helicopter, what is it even doing? Apparently, it's associated with an annual fundraising event in the area where flybys um kind of form part of the show, which would make sense why so many people were, I guess, filming it. But yeah, hopefully the people that were injured in this come out okay and, you know, got lucky. So, keep you guys updated. Moving on. Also, over the weekend, guys, the I don't know if we've all forgotten about it or something, but the US government is still shut down and it's getting pretty crazy. And if the government being shut down isn't crazy enough, um to add on top of that, uh the Trump administration is now carrying out those mass firings that they promised us a few weeks ago that would happen if the government shut down. Promises made, promises kept. But petitions made and petitions kept. All right, that's the quote of the channel. No, no, no. But but serious, this is people's jobs and livelihoods at stake. Um, in fact, over 4,000 federal staff have received layoff notices uh this past Friday. And according to the Trump administration, even more layoffs are coming. They argue that these layoffs are necessary to ensure essential government services have funding. But many others argue that the Trump administration are using this as a as a as a tactic, a bluffing tactic to get the Democrats who are, you know, refusing to pass this bill to finally stand down and be like, "All right, this is getting too crazy. Let them have it." Now, many of the Republicans, including Trump, have blamed the Democratic party for this shutdown. And they even said that the layoffs were targeting Democrat orientated workers. Now the Democrats refusing to budge on this bill. They are saying that this whole situation is being used as a political weapon uh for Trump to gain more control. And they also said they are refusing to pass this budget which would cut millions of dollars from essential services. They also said that by dragging this out and firing more people, the Trump administration is choosing to inflict more pain on people. In fact, it's even gone as far as two unions now suing the Trump administration for these layoffs. So, I mean, all very normal in the US at the minute. Moving on. Also, one country where things are absolutely not normal right now is Madagascar. And guys, Gen Z. Gen Z might be in the midst of overthrowing yet another government. Now, as we reported on recently, the country has been rocked over the past few weeks by Gen Zled protests. And they are protesting against things like government corruption, negligence, and abuse of power. I I believe this all started with with electricity cuts and water cuts, but now it's ramped into something so much bigger because in a major development over the weekend, the president has now warned that one of the country's major military units called CAPSAT has flipped and is now joined the side of the protesters. That is a huge development. And reportedly, they too are now calling for the president to resign and for a new government. But what makes things even crazier about this whole situation is that this was the military unit that were actually the ones who helped install the current president Rajolina uh back into power in a 2009 coup. What he giveth he taketh away. In fact, even despite what happened in 2009, that very president is saying that there is now an attempt to seize power illegally and by force and then called for the rest of the country's authorities and uh the country in fact in general to unite in defense of constitutional order and national sovereignty. So yeah, I will keep you guys updated but you know who knows we may see uh Madagascar have a new president for the first time in 16 years and again Gen Z could be the reason. Now, I am trying to stick to six stories on Monday and Wednesday. And so, that means we have used up all of our news tokens. Insert more to keep playing. Well, guess what? You don't have anymore. You get more on Wednesday. Six more news tokens and then many millions of tokens rain down on a Friday. But for now, I will see you on for a catchup Wednesday. Have a good beginning of your week. Love you all. Bye. There you go. That is so good.
