Oh, since we lost spoke. Donald Trump is giving out hugs and might even have a new best friend. Something really strange is happening with Jeffrey Epstein. A Navy service member accidentally leaked the location of a nuclear warship. The upcoming Spider-Man movie has already made history before it's even released. All of that and so much more. Subscribe to the channel right now or else. And let's stop the yapping and let's go. laughing. >> All right, guys. She wants to do the intro again. Let's stop the yapping and let's get Okay, we got to start today off with a pretty wild question. Has Donald Trump just found his new best friend? So, Japan's Prime Minister Sai Takayichi uh the first female prime minister of Japan and she was only recently uh gone into office in about October. Well, she made her first visit to the US to meet Donald Trump at the White House and talk through a number of issues including trade between the two countries obviously uh the military alliances and the Middle East war. We have spoken at length about Sai Takayichi before on this channel, but for those unfamiliar, she is a conservative leader and she does share a number of similar viewpoints to Trump on things like, you know, economic nationalism to make sure that you protect domestic industries. She campaigned a lot on national security and increasing military spending, etc. Now, this all started with the greeting as she arrived at the door, the front door of the White House. Now, if Alex runs the clip for you in slow-mo, as you can see, as usual in all of these situations, regardless of female or male, Trump goes in for the handshake. But Takahichi, she she goes in for the hug. Bro, I don't think I've ever seen Trump give someone a hug outside of Melania. This is crazy. And so immediately when you see that, you're thinking, huh, maybe this friendship might be better than you thought. It just it's kind of wholesome, actually. Let's let's all be honest. But when they started going into the Oval Office and taking questions from the press, which is very customary in these sort of situations when you have world leaders in, Trump made a risky joke that you would expect to blow up the entire meeting and end the friendship before it even began. >> Uh, one question, why didn't you tell US allies uh in Europe and Asia like Japan about the war before attacking Iran? So, we are very confused about we Japanese citizens. Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much. You know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay. Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay. But despite this joke, it's not what happened. Now, to be honest with you, I'm not sure exactly how much um Sanai actually understood because throughout her visit, which we'll go through in a second, she didn't speak a lot or if any English actually, but she did say in a portion of this she does understand it a little bit better than she spoke. So point is, regardless of how awkward she looked, which many fairly interpreted as she did not appreciate the joke, you might have to question how uncomfortable she actually is with Trump's humor. Because when she was being tooured around the White House, specifically at the part where Trump has set up that wall with all of the portraits of former presidents, well, she clearly found Trump's auto pen portrait of Biden hilarious. Look at that. And also later that evening during the keynote speech read out by a translator, she called Trump her best buddy. >> I am very confident that Donald and I are the best buddies to realize this shared goal. >> She then complimented his son Baron, calling him a very tall, good-looking gentleman. >> Donald, tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Baron Trump. And I know he has grown up so much into a very tall, good-looking gentleman. >> And she even threw out a pretty mega-esque phrase, which is not hers. It's actually the former prime minister's uh in Japan's phrase, but look at Trump. He absolutely loved it. Grinning in the background. >> Japan is back. Now after seeing all of this, people are looking at it in two different ways. The first is that this friendship is genuine. You know, they both are on the conservative side. Obviously, they share a number of similar viewpoints. And many are saying that this is the beginning of a really good relationship between the US and Japan. In fact, Japan even gifted the United States 250 cherry blossoms to celebrate their 250th birthday. However, then there's the other side how they're viewing this whole thing. And they're saying that Sonai Takayichi, she played Trump and she deployed a classic diplomatic uh maneuver, flattery. It opens doors uh that policy arguments cannot. But I guess either way you want to look at it, strategic or sincere, uh some big progress was made during this meeting between the two countries. They agreed to expand their defense cooperation and develop weapons, including missiles together. They agreed on Japan's security issues, namely North Korea, China. They struck a pretty large nuclear deal and Japan committed to pretty significant investments into the United States. Uh they pledged a sum of around $50 billion. Now they did disagree on other things like you know the main one is the war. Japan remained pretty steadfast that they will support the United States diplomatically but they will refuse to get involved militarily citing constitutional constraints and limitations. But ultimately as always what do you guys think? Do you think that Japan's prime minister was being sincere or deploying flattery protocol? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. BUT FOR NOW, MOVING ON. ALSO, this week, guys, something pretty strange is happening with Jeffrey Epstein right now. So, I don't know if you guys have noticed or caught on to this, but over the past couple of months, there's been a string of regular people that have become quasi celebrities. I don't even know what you would describe them simply because they have some strange connection with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, one example is Jeffrey Epstein, the man with the exact same name as him. And here's the thing. Instead of changing his name, which you would think that would be the first thing that you would do, no, he's used it to his advantage and he's now turned into a full-on comedian. And as you can see, he's performed sets all over the place. He's garnered tens of thousands of followers on Instagram. I did some research and there's 106 other people with the name Jeffrey Epstein around the world. So I am not walking this path alone. However, they are not making any more of us. They cut off the name Jeffrey Epste was around 2016. We are now a closed membership society and we have started a Facebook Epstein support group and we are planning our first retreat. We're thinking we're thinking more of a mountain destination in an island. >> I mean, it seems that he's been pretty successful so far for essentially talking about the everyday problems that he's had living with this name. >> My name is Jeffrey Epstein. Really, that is my birth name. And obviously, it's been quite an unfortunate name to have these last 10 years. And yes, I know I could have changed my name, but I didn't. I decided to stick it out and become a stand-up comedian instead, making fun of my reality of sharing a birth name with a notorious criminal who just can't stay out of the news. I've kept it on the down low. Uh haven't posted any of the material on social media. Kind of saved it for live in person shows these last few years, but the people and Congress have spoken and they're demanding the release of the Epstein comedy files. So stay tuned. But it's not just that because at the same time this guy is amassing thousands of followers simply because he has the name Jeffrey Epstein. Others like Epstein lookalikes have recently gone viral as well. Some of which again have strangely turned into I I dare I call them celebrities but something they they've amassed some fame because of it. Most recently there was this regular guy and he was on his way to play tennis just a normal day when someone took a picture of him driving and they posted online. It blew up and it got hundreds of millions of views, which I mean, I guess isn't that surprising because if you do look at it from this angle, it does look like Jeffrey Epstein. And of course, it plays into this pretty rampant theory actually that the real Epstein, he's still alive and well. Anyway, so the story goes on and and eventually this guy because it's just kind of turned his life upside down, he's had to come out and make a video and explain that he's not Epstein. Hey everybody, this is Palm Beach Pete and my video went viral because some dude randomly filmed me while I was driving on I95, unbeknownst to me. And the next thing I know, I'm a viral sensation. Um, I had my phone down for about 4 hours and didn't know my phone was blowing up with all these comments from that video. So, I got a lot of traction. It's pretty crazy. Thanks. >> So, you're not Jeffrey Epstein? >> I'm not Jeffrey Epstein. I'm Palm Beach Pete. >> Got a boy. Yeah. >> You see, this is where we're at, man. They're giving themselves names, character names. Palm Beach Pete. It's damn catchy. Why? He's literally giving himself a name of someone that's really going to catch on. He then went on a podcast and explained the full story of how this all unraveled. I'm minding my own business, driving down to play some tennis, and the next thing you know, hundreds of millions of views all over the world, phone calls all over the place. >> But the part that I found the craziest is that he said that since that video has gone viral, normal people in the public have asked to take pictures with him. >> So I went over to their table. I said, "You guys talking about me?" They said, "Are you the guy that went viral on the internet?" I said, "Yep, that's me." And they wanted to take a photo immediately. Then I went to the bar. bartender wanted to take a photo of me. Ran into a friend of mine also sitting at the bar. She introduces me to her friend. I introduce myself and schnots's coming out of his nose because he thinks it's so funny that he just met viral Jeffrey Epstein. And you know, I'm sat here looking at all of this and it's hard for me to not see the strangeness in all of this. You know, how have we got to a place where people like Jeffrey Epstein and like Diddy, for example, have essentially just become like funny memes? Remember, both are accused of doing horrific things. Yet, uniquely, particularly online, they're treated as this, I don't know, in this more like dark, comical way. Like, if you actually think about how strange it is for someone to want to take a picture with a lookalike of a known pedophile and child trafficker. Like, I'm sorry, but when you put the freaking into plain facts, that's pretty messed up. No, but then again, I know for a fact there's probably not a single person watching this that hasn't laughed at an Epstein meme before. You're all guilty. I mean, it's literally getting to the point where people are now able to make careers and money off of simply having a connection with this guy. That seems wild. And I mean, I guess you could look at it in two ways. One, we are sick as a society. Well, the other one is that the world is just so crazy right now and we are treating certain tragedies with dark humor and that's not unique to now. That's like that's happened for the entire humanity. We've always kind of coped with things with dark humor. But ultimately, what do you guys think? Are the Jeffrey Epstein memes funny or is this not a subject that should ever be joked about even if it's dark humor? In fact, actually, we're going to put up a poll for you to vote on that in the community section after you've watched the video. Look forward to SEEING THAT ONE. MOVING ON. ALSO, this week, we have got this video, which is probably one of the most insane things caught on camera in the war so far. And that's sane summon play video. >> Further rocket attacks were reported against Naharia and a minute. Now, as you can see, a British reporter and his cameraman from this Russian state outlet, RT, they narrowly avoided being struck by an Israeli missile in southern Lebanon. So, the journalist's name is Steve Sweeney, and he was speaking on camera when he had to suddenly stop midsentence and had to brace the impact as it struck the ground right behind him. Unfortunately, no one was killed in this blast, but both the reporter and the cameraman, they had to be hospitalized with minor injuries. I mean, there's a video that Steve posted where he has a piece of shrapnel that was lodged into his arm in this little plastic container and he's shaking it around. Pretty wild. But, you know, now that they've made it out, both Steve and his cameraman are alleging that Israeli forces deliberately attacked them. And that was despite the fact that they were wearing uniforms, which clearly had press at the front. This is what Steve had to say. This was a deliberate targeted attack on journalists. There's no mistake about it. This was an Israeli precision uh strike from a fighter jet. We were reporting on the attacks on uh bridges which is effectively severing South Lebanon from the rest of the country. And what we were reporting on is this uh plan for Israel to ethnically cleanse the south of Lebanon. >> Now, Israel have come out and responded and they denied that these attacks were deliberate. They said that prior to these strikes, warnings were published to ensure that civilians distanced themselves from the crossings which they were bombing uh in order to reduce civilian harm. In the footage of the past couple of hours, a journalist is seen at one of these crossings and an explicit warning had been issued regarding this area. The crossing was struck after significant time had passed since warnings. And it is also true that these RT correspondents, they were reporting from pretty much right next to this bridge. But they were reporting on the story that they were that you know Israel was bombing these bridges and the problems that that will cause. So Israel were arguing that they shouldn't have been there and they are arguing that they shouldn't directly bomb. They could deliberately see from fighter jets in fact they could see that they were civilians standing there. And of course may I remind you that you know targeting civilians and reporters is a war crime. So it's kind of one of these situations where who do you believe? Yeah. A situation that I feel like we constantly find ourselves in lately. But it's always for you guys to decide what you make out of these situations. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. But for now, moving on. Okay, this next story is really embarrassing for France, especially actually since in the last video directly before this one, Trump said this about France. >> Not perfect, but it's France. >> Are you? >> We don't expect perfect. >> Yeah. So, a French Navy service member accidentally leaked the location of this French aircraft carrier because he went jogging on the ship and he logged the jog on Straa, which for those who don't know is an app that essentially tracks your run using GPS and then it lets you share your runs and compete with others in realworld scenarios. Starting to see the problem here? And to make matters more serious, this is actually France's most important warship. It was deployed shortly after the Iran War broke out to protect shipping routes from Iranian attacks and of course as a sign of military support for their US allies. And listen, this isn't just an important ship. This is actually the only nuclearpowered aircraft carrier in operation during this war outside the US's course. And so when you have a vessel this important out in the time of war, it's not really a great idea to share your location to the world. I mean, at the same time, it was pretty impressive. He did 7.2 km in 35 minutes, and that's an average pace of 4.58 per kilometer. Respect, homie. Now, fortunately, all's well that ends well because it didn't result in anything catastrophic. But it is a reminder that war in the big 26 with all the technology that we have can be real tricky. I mean, just imagine, bro, this morning reading all of the headlines. This has gone so viral. Ah, moving on. Also this week, I'm sure you have seen it. The trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man movie. Well, what you might not have known is that it is broken records. Not even broken, smashed to pieces. Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released on Wednesday morning. And in just 24 hours, it got 718.6 million views across all social media platforms. Crazy. And guess what? That makes it the most viral and most successful movie trailer of all time. History yet again. We should actually start marking all of the moments of history because I swear I'm saying that every single video. And then at the end of the year, we can just be like, "Look at all the history we lived through." It's a good idea. >> No, no, no. Come >> extra manpower, though. And Alex is pretty maxed out. So, one of you guys just create it, please. Anyway, the previous record was held by Deadpool and Wolverine, and that had 365 million views. So, Spider-Man has doubled that. And it doesn't even stop there because guess what? And it also performed better than the trailer for GTA 6, which is the biggest meme of the last few years. And it did almost like I mean hundreds of millions more than that. 475 million views in 24 hours. Get out of here, GTA 6. We don't even believe that you're ever going to arrive. So it not only makes it the most successful movie trailer of all time, it's the most successful trailer of all time. Period. And I mean, let's be honest, 718 million views, that's going to hold the record for a long time. That's going to be hard to beat. Crazy. Next. Also this week, guys, we got some tragic and frankly shocking news. Chuck Norris ascended to a new realm at the age of 86. Yes, I know many of us didn't even think that this was scientifically possible. Now, his family announced his ascension on Friday morning on Instagram, saying that while we would like to keep the circumstances of how he left Earth private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and he was at peace. Now, here's the thing. The day prior, we did hear reports from TMZ that, you know, Chuck was hospitalized after suffering a medical emergency, but they said after in hospital that he was okay and that he was recovering in good spirits. Obviously, something changed. Now, I want to show you guys his very last post on Instagram because it is exactly how the world will remember him. >> I don't age, I level up. >> A symbol of strength. He was still training at 86 years old. Imagine being at that level of fitness and health at that age. A true inspiration. So, in his honor, I would like to read you guys some of the comments from when I I posted the breaking news. Chuck Norris didn't die. He completed life. Chuck Norris broke the news. Chuck Norris is sending us thoughts and prayers. Chuck Norris was so goated that even God wanted to meet him. Chuck Norris didn't die. He just traveled to another universe who needed him more. Chuck Norris didn't die. God simply requested a consultant. And lastly, Chuck Norris didn't die. He leveled up. Damn straight. A true legend. Earth is going to miss you, Chuck. We all hope we can keep it safe now that you're gone, man. 26 so rough. Even Chuck left. Rest in peace. Moving on. Also this week, Kim Jong back in the headlines. And I think to be honest with you, I think he's done grieving and like done caring about being left out of this war because he's just embracing it. He's riding around on tanks for God's sake. You think he has a care in the world? Now, in his latest, would we describe this as a show of force? Or is he just having a good time? I don't even know. Either way, he was sat on top of this tank and he was riding with his daughter in the what do you call it? A passenger seat. I don't think so either. But she was to the right of him. 13 years old. May I remind you? But I mean, in the last few weeks, that is seriously ramped up. I mean, we've seen his daughter everywhere very publicly and the majority of these latest appearances are all involving the military, which is the heart of North Korea, the beating heart. And according to their state media, Kimmy, or they did not call him Kimmy, let me just confirm that to you now. He was supervising a drill of this new type of tank, which they have. And they demonstrated superior offensive uh and defensive capabilities against drones and anti-tank missiles. So, yeah, that's that. Next. And then I want everyone to stand up in applause just like they would do for Kim Jong-un for our new segment of the channel. It's actually going to be our ending segment for every v video going forward today in history where we look back on today what happened throughout history. So as you're watching this on a beautiful Saturday 21st of March today is the day that 62 years ago Alcatraz prison shut down its operations for good. Crazy. It only operated for like 29 years and it was forced to close mainly because it was expensive to run an island prison and have to ship everything back and forth. And today 62 years ago marked the end of an era for the one of the most famous prisons in the entire world. And that is today in history. Bet you're itching to see the next one. Anyway, that is where we're wrapping today. I hope that you're really enjoying the building of the empire. We will build our empire back stronger than ever. And we will soon be out of the desert. I will lead you to the promised land. Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, elderly and cats and dogs. Alex, want a c couple of cats and dogs in here, please. We will love our animals. Anyway, love you all. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. And let's stop the yapping and let's go. There's nothing breaking. There's nothing breaking. There's nothing. >> Stop the appin and let's go. >> THAT WAS TERRIBLE. I DON'T WANT TO HIT YOU too hard.
