Mexico Erupts, Epstein Bombshell & More…

Holy hell, guys. It has been an insane weekend. Violence has erupted in Mexico, and in certain places, it's looking like a freaking war zone. A bullied baby monkey named Punch is taking the world by storm. Epstein may have had hidden, never seen before files that he placed in storage lockers across the United States. We may have witnessed yet another attempt on Trump's life. and Zilinski just came out and said that World War II has already begun. Yeah, we're going to be talking about all of that and so much more. Today is a banger episode, so get locked in. And in return, I shall stop the yapping and let's get Okay, guys, excuse the lower mobility today. Um, we have destroyed the old ankle during a game of paddle. I wish I could have said it was a more aggressive, manly contact sport, but no. Um, that's what happened. Okay, but it's pretty brutal. So, best wishes for the Supreme Leader. Let's get into today's news. And how do we not start today with what is happening in Mexico right now? Because it is truly astonishing. Now facados authorities in Halisco have declared a statewide code red. But in several states across the entire country, cars are being lit on fire. Many shops have had to be shut down. Schools have been cancelled for Monday. And in several states across the country, roadblocks are being set up. Video show chaos erupting at the Guadalajara airport with people being seen running in panic. The US and Canada have got involved and started warning their citizens to actually shelter indoors. And there's many videos of plumes of smoke that can be seen rising from the city, the actual tourist city of Puerto Vatra. So you might be wondering what the hell is going on. Well, yesterday on Sunday, the Mexican army actually carried out an operation which killed a major cartel leader. He was killed during a shootout in his home state of Halisco as the Mexican military attempted to capture him and a number of others. Now, the White House has since confirmed that the US did provide intelligence support to this operation of the capture, and they applauded Mexico's army for taking this man down. Now, for those who don't know, El Muncho, he was actually one of the most wanted drug lords in the entire world, but especially in Mexico and the US. And he was the head of the Halisco New Generation Cartel. Now, the CJNG for short is actually one of the most powerful, aggressive, and fastest growing criminal organizations in the entire country of Mexico, which is saying something. They're known to attack the freaking military of all. It's the military. Cartels attacking the military is wild. Including their armored vehicles, uh, including their helicopters, hitting them with rocket launchers. And they even be noted as one of the cartels that have pioneered launching explosives from drones and installing mines. Like if you've seen videos, they look like the military. They are so freaking equipped. And I mean for context of how much the leader of this organization was wanted, the US alone had a $15 million bounty set for this man named El Muncho. Now the chaos that we are seeing right now erupt not just in Halisco but all over the country seems to be a retaliation from the cartels. Authorities in Halisco and two other states reported that at least 14 people were killed on Sunday including seven National Guard troops. Now the president of Mexico Claudia Shineam she uh urged calm and authorities announced late on Sunday that they had cleared most of the more than 250 roadblocks across 20 different states. But I mean one of the craziest parts is that most of this violence erupted in not just like little small towns. These were major hubs. Puto Fatra is actually the country's fourth largest tourism destination while Guadalajara is the country's second largest city and they're set to host a number of World Cup games this year. But yeah, this is still a developing situation. So as always, I'll keep you guys updated. For those of you in these in these areas, please stay safe. Moving on. Also over the weekend, Punch the bullied baby monkey has gone so freaking viral that IKEA is sold out of his comfort toy. Uh, crypto coins are being created and people are making money off of it. The zoo is being overwhelmed. And we even got people planning out rescue missions to save him. Now, if this is the first time that you're hearing about Punch, I don't know how that's possible, but in short, here's a baby maca that was abandoned by his mother not long after birth. And ever since, you know, he's struggled making friends and fitting in with his own kind, the monkeys at the zoo in Japan. In fact, it's actually humans that have become his companions with zookeepers handraising him and even giving him this stuffed orangutang toy, which has now gone super super viral and is from IKEA. And over time, it would almost serve as the mother that he never had. It would never leave his side. There's been plenty of videos with him sleeping with it. dragging it around and, you know, not wanting to leave it, instinctively running back to it every time he got scolded or bullied by the other monkeys. And then when he would eventually feel safe again, he would leave his little toy behind and return to his peers. Now, when videos quickly started going viral of this, it broke people's hearts on mass. IKEA told the Washington Post that Punch's comfort toy has sold out in multiple different countries and they're asking for people's patience while they try and get it back in stock. And in the meantime, uh, scalpers, you know, little Timothy over here can't get one because they've started buying a bunch of them and then reselling them on eBay for 300 to 400% of the price. Poor Timothy. And it's not just resellers because the Crypto Bros. Uh they've created a Punch memecoin and it's surged 80,000% since its launch and even hit a market cap of $30 million. Crazy. Ichawa City Zoo had to place a red important notice banner on their website warning people of enormous overcrowding and super long lines and they even had to turn people away despite many of them waiting in like in the line for hours. I mean, even freaking PETA has got involved and they started beef on Twitter saying that people's anger shouldn't be directed towards the monkeys that are bullying poor Punch, but rather their anger should be directed to Ichawa City Zoo for locking Punch in a bare concrete cage and making money off his misery. I mean, I'm sure the actual zookeepers would definitely think of this situation very differently, but what do you guys think? a truly heartbreaking but also wholesome story because there are also some clips of, you know, Punch finally making some friends and then he'll get bullied again and then he makes some friends and then he gets bullied again. So, bit of an emotional roller coaster. Moving on. Also over the weekend, and that's going to be a theme. So much happened. Did we just see yet another attempt on Donald Trump's life? because at about 1:30 a.m. local time on Sunday, a man was shot and killed attempting to enter Trump's Mara Lago residence. Now, he was originally described as simply a white male in his 20s carrying a gas canister and a shotgun, so safe to assume he wasn't there as a big Donald Trump fan, but he has since been identified by multiple different sources, not yet official sources, um, as 21-year-old Austin T. Martin from uh, Cameron, North Carolina. Now he was seen by secret services making his way into the inner perimeter of Mara Lago. That's when security they saw him. They ordered him to drop whatever the hell he was holding. That's when he dropped the gas canister, raised his shotgun towards the firing position. And then Secret Service said, "All right, we needed to fire multiple times and neutralized the threat." Now, the sheriff did say that those involved were wearing body cameras at that time. So maybe we will get to see this footage. We're not too sure, but the FBI is looking into motive, which we don't know yet, and they are collecting evidence. And I know while it currently looks pretty, you know, case open and closed. It was an assassination attempt because, you know, why would you enter or at least try and enter Trump's residence with a shotgun and a gas canister? We don't know, you know, the actual reason for it yet because also Trump and Melania weren't even staying at the White House that weekend. And if you were carrying out an assassination plot, would you not at least first of all try and check to see if they were even here? So, it is unclear what this was all about. But, of course, as we know more, which I'm assuming we will in the next couple of days, I'll make an update probably Wednesday. But for now, moving on. Also over the weekend, we found out that there might actually be secret, never seen before Epstein files which he himself purposefully hid in lockers throughout the United States. That sounds pretty crazy, right? I mean, when I'm reading this, I'm thinking, how much information can one person have? Insane. Now, according to new reports, Jeffree apparently hid specific items in at least six storage units across the country. And to make it even more interesting, it seems that authorities have never raided these lockers. So, we might have untouched Epstein files, unredacted Epstein files, more importantly. Now, this comes via an exclusive report by the Telegraph published on the 22nd of February. And they claimed that Epstein had a secret stockpile of computers, CDs, photographs, and other sensitive material which he had hoped authorities would never find. Now, some of these computers reportedly came directly from his island, which he apparently paid private investigators to move into these lockers. That's interesting because obviously that raises the question, you know, what information could Epstein actually be wanting to hide, especially if the stuff that he had in his home was some of the most horrific stuff known to man. Now, in terms of evidence for this, the Telegraph claimed that they have obtained credit card receipts which confirm that Epstein made multiple payments all the way from 2003 all the way up to his death in 2019 to these six different storage units. And so, if that is the case, we know which companies they are. Can these not be rated like today? Now, I'm thinking these are probably being freaking bought on like Storage Hunters, an episode of Storage Hunters. Imagine that. You buy a freaking storage thing, it's like, "Oh, let's see if it's worth anything." And it's a bunch of Epstein stuff. Probably be arrested for even buying it. Now, why this is so potentially significant is that we all know that the FBI raided his homes, but what if there was information and evidence that he wasn't in his home in the first place? And maybe some of the worst stuff and maybe stuff on other people remains untouched in these lockers. I don't know. It sounds a little bit too crazy to be true. You'd think, or you at least hope that the FBI would be across stuff like this. It's another insane development that I saw over the weekend was what happened to his infamous private jet that he used to fly all of those celebrity guests over to his island called the Lolita Express. Well, long story short, it's just been crumbling away, probably never to be flown again for the last 10 years, uh, at an aviation storage facility in Brunswick, Georgia. And man, looking at the video, which was exclusively obtained by the New York Post, it's pretty unsettling, especially since, you know, victims have said that a lot of abuse happened on this plane. Now, obviously, a lot of stuff on this plane has been raided. But interestingly, a lot of other stuff has just remained untouched, like frozen in time. I mean, you look in the bathroom and there's paper towels, there's baby powder bottles, there's baby lotion, toiletries, furniture, wipes. There's even like a satellite phone in one of the drawers. And of course, there's large beds and padded walls. Don't know why a jet would have padded walls. >> Daddy, chill. >> What the hell is even that? And also, as you can see by the video, this jet was, I mean, like most private jets, pretty damn spacious. They said that around 30 to 40 people uh could fit and fly on this jet. So, yeah, pretty creepy and eerie to watch. But for now, moving on. Also, over the weekend, this one is pretty insane. And after 144 years of construction, the world's tallest church has finally reached its maximum height. About damn time. Now, Barcelona's Sagrada Familia has been under construction for so long that locals have just become used to seeing it with construction around it. You know, scaffolding and cranes. But on Friday, the final piece was put in place. A 17 m tall four-sided steel and glass cross was craned to the top of the Tower of Jesus Christ, the largest one, and it reaches now a staggering 172.5 m. That makes it not only the tallest church in the entire world, but also the city's tallest building. The expectation now is that the scaffolding will finally be removed. The cranes will be taken down before the official inauguration of the building. Imagine that. Imagine starting construction almost 150 years ago and then 150 years later, you finally get the building's inauguration. That is crazy. But also seeing this building without scaffolding is something that many in this city have never even seen. That's pretty insane and significant. Moving on. Also, since we last spoke, World War III has already begun. And that is according to uh President of Ukraine, Zalinski. He said in a post on X this morning, there are different views on World War II. I believe Putin has already started it. He says the key question is how much territory can he seize and how can we stop him? He then likened Ukraine to an outpost preventing Putin from turning this whole thing into a broader, more fullscale World War II. And you know, many people in the comments were making the point that, you know, World War II, for example, wasn't called World War II when it, you know, all of the wars started kicking off. It was only about in 1945, 1946 when they started using that terminology. And it kicked off in what, 1939. So the question is you know are we in the start of World War II that we'll describe in 1015 years time but we just haven't started using the terminology yet. But then again on the other side you know many people are saying that World War II has not begun. This is a local war and Zalinski is only saying this because Ukraine heavily relies on ally support. So tying in the fates of other countries not just his and Russia's into this war is within his interest. But what do you guys think? Do you think that World War II has already begun in some form or another? Or is this just an overexaggeration by Zilinski? Let me know your thoughts. Moving on. Also over the weekend, good lord, how did you guys in New York survive? It is just blizzard after blizzard there lately. Zoran Mandani has now had to declare a state of emergency, also a travel ban because an intense bomb cyclone is hitting the region. Thousands of flights have been cancelled and delayed. He has ordered all city streets, including highways and bridges, to be closed for non-emergency traffic, starting 9:00 p.m. on Sunday and remaining in effect all the way until noon on Monday. Also, and for anyone in the area watching this, you'll be very happy to hear that he has cancelled uh school on Monday across the entire city. That actually makes it New York's first official snow day since all the way in 2019. 7 years history yet again in 2026. And also in a very unique way to try and fight the storm, which is going to bring so much freaking snow. Manny is now offering people a payday. Every single person can turn up if they want to and help clear the snow. All you have to do as an everyday New Yorker is fill out a form online and show up at your local sanitation garage between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. You pick up a shovel, start moving that snow, and you'll be paid $19 an hour. And everyone gets it. Pretty crazy. Moving on. And also over the weekend, and you guys are not going to believe this one. Really hold on to your socks right now because Kim Jong-un, believe it or not, has just been reelected as North Korea's leader. I'm as shocked as you. It was a nailbiting election. Man, I had the popcorn out and it was really close margins. It was about 100% to zero. And I mean, look at the freaking applause and the chanting that he got. And I mean, they're not even doing the regular clapping that you would do, you know, at your waist. They're doing the eyele clapping. That's insane. And I mean, just watching this, you know, for a fact. I bet these applause were going on for like 20 minutes straight because think about it. You're there. Are you going to be the first one to stop clapping? I didn't think so. You You stop and you're going to be like, "What? Are you not happy of for Kim Jong-un to be elected for the next century?" work camp go. Now, yes, they use the word elect, but it's not the elect that you're probably thinking of. This is just between the 5,000 party delegates who are part of the workers party of Korea. But I mean, even then, it's kind of interesting because what would be the split of the vote on that? I mean, is it literally 100% to zero? I mean, state media described it simply as a unanimous vote. And I mean, it might actually be 100% unanimous because imagine being the one person that votes against Kim Jong-un while 4,999 vote for. You're cooked. You know, I think here at the Empire, feeling the kind of energy from North Korea, we should hold our own free and fair elections. Alex, present them the ballot, guys. Fill it out. Good. Made your choice. Nice. Very interested to see the results of this election. Moving on. And then for our final story, because I promise to end every video with a bit of good news to lighten your heart, your dark, stupid heart, let me tell you that sometimes bad things happen in life, guys, to make way for something new. And that is exactly what happened to JetBlue. You see, earlier this month, the 2-year-old golden doodle was found abandoned, how dare you abandon that, by its owner at Las Vegas's airport after she was told she couldn't fly with her dog. But instead of just missing the flight like a regular human being, no, she decided to tie Jet's leash to a ticket counter and then leave towards the departure gate. Now, when police confronted her, saying she needs to go back and get her dog, she refused. And because she increasingly became hostile, she was arrested and booked on charges of one, animal abandonment, and two, resisting arrest. And Jet had to be placed in animal protective services. He doesn't belong there. In fact, while he was there, she was even given a chance to have Jet back. She refused. She still didn't want him. How could you abandon that beautiful looking thing? Well, guess what? He wasn't in foster care for very long because in a amazing turn of events, one of the officers that actually helped save him at the airport, he decided, "Guess what? I'm going to be the one to give him his forever home." The police department posted on Facebook saying, "Bonvoyage JetBlue. Welcome to a new life where you'll be loved beyond words by Officer Black and his family." A feelood story for the heart. Anyway, that is where we wrap today's video. I hope you guys are having a fantastic start to the week and I will see you as always as usual on Wednesday.
