SPEAKER 04 : 0:37

Hello, hello, hello, everyone. Happy Monday. Thank you so much for tuning in to Shooting the Breeze today, brought to you by Franktown Firearms. My name is Karen Murray, and I am the lead instructor over at Franktown Firearms. And you guys need to stop by Franktown Firearms as soon as you possibly can. you won’t believe the changes that have taken place in that store and in that range. So much more room. It’s amazing what you can do with a space that’s already existing and turn it into something completely different. So if you haven’t been down there in a while, you’ve got to go check it out. Better layout, new flooring. The gun counter that’s in the center of the room is just fantastic. And the blades and just such cool stuff. So much more to see. So you’ve got to go check it out. There are more changes coming as well. Classes are about to start firing up in the shoot house. And this shoot house is, I’m going to say that’s just second to none. There’s nothing like that that’s going to be open to the public in the state. So you guys have to go check it out. I’m not saying that just because I work there. I’m saying that because I would visit that store even if I didn’t work there. The concealed carry classes are going to be more comprehensive, as you know, and in-depth, eight hours long. So that’s going to start happening July 1st. If you want to sign up for a concealed carry class and if you’ve been thinking about it, it’s time to do it. As you may or may not know, Colorado’s lovely General Assembly is back at it again, trying to ban assault rifles, which I can’t stand that term, but I use it because that’s what they use. All kinds of stuff coming down the pike, and we need to fight all this, people. Just go to the Colorado General Assembly’s website and start looking at some of the bills that they’ve got proposed and just start fighting. You’ve got to fight this stuff. My next concealed carry class is going to be on January 25th. You can find all the upcoming classes on Franktown Firearms website. And also there’s a new website in the works. So be on the lookout for that. But the current website is franktownfirearms.com. You can give them a call at 720-770-7777. If you’d like to inquire about inventory or Or just stop by. Like I said, you’ve got to come check it out anyway. Franktown Firearms is open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6. And we’re located just east of the intersection of Highway 83 and Highway 86 in Franktown. You can’t miss it. Well, I guess you can in the dark, but just go check it out. So I’m going to talk today about the fires in California. Obviously, you guys know me, but I’m going to start with something else. As you probably have ascertained by now, I love TikTok. I get a lot of information from TikTok, and I know a lot of people who won’t touch that app with a 10-foot pole because it’s owned by China. They’re stealing our data. They’re spying on us. And, you know, it’s owned by the CCP and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And as you may or may not know, there are hearings going on right now to determine TikTok’s fate. A possible ban is in the works, which makes me very sad. Not only because I use TikTok to get information and lots of it, But I’m sad for those people who make their living from TikTok. They either, you know, have a TikTok shop and they’re in an affiliate program or whatever. They’re monetizing their videos. It doesn’t matter. There are many accounts on that platform by people who might be disabled in some way and can’t work. And they have these huge followings because the content they put out is heartfelt and And they have interesting stories or perspectives on things, and they make money from the content they create and that they post. And, of course, I’m on the geopolitical side of TikTok. But I also see, like, animal rescue videos and cooking videos and travel and crochet. You may or may not know that I’m an avid crocheter. Well, not avid. I guess I’m not. I can’t consider myself avid because I see some work that people put out, and I’m like, duh. There’s no way that I could possibly do this, but regardless of what content shows up on my For You page, I just enjoy the app. I’ve learned a lot by watching these videos, and I see a different perspective from a lot of different folks who are doing the digging when it comes to conspiracy theories and things that we may not learn just from watching the nightly news. on ABC or even Fox News for that matter. Well, an attorney representing TikTok had something to say about the platform, leading everyone to the conclusion that we might have been lied to about the app and about the app’s owners and its origins. What a shock. They lied? They lied to us? No, that could not possibly be. So he was talking – he was doing a news – a press conference or whatever, and he’s talking about what happened in regard to the hearings that are going on right now. And here’s what he had to say to the public during a press conference that aired on PBS. He says, quote, they vigorously questioned both sides. They put us through our paces, but what really came through is that we understand the importance of this case. I’m very hopeful for a favorable decision. I’d like to emphasize a few points that came up during the argument. First, and perhaps most importantly, TikTok Incorporated is a United States company. It’s incorporated in the state of California. It’s got thousands of employees based here in the United States. The government does not dispute that it is a bona fide U.S. subsidiary operating in the United States in accordance with all of the actual principles of American corporate law. Second, ByteDance Limited is a private company, and ByteDance Limited is the parent company of TikTok. It’s a private company. It is a private holding company that is based in the Cayman Islands. It is not owned by China. And that is a quote from the attorney representing TikTok. It is not owned by China. No part of the Chinese government has an ownership stake directly or indirectly in TikTok Incorporated or ByteDance. ByteDance, rather, is 58% owned by global institutional investors, including very large American investors. institutional investors like Susquehanna and General Atlantic. It is 21% owned by its employees, many of whom are American employees here in the United States, and it is 21% owned by one of its founders, who is a Chinese national living in Singapore. Third, TikTok Incorporated exercises independent judgment with respect to the algorithm in the United States. The source code for the algorithm is brought into the United States and stored on servers located in Virginia. There, it’s converted into executable code. It’s modified. It’s customized. It’s trained. It’s moderated pursuant to moderation policies, and it’s implemented in the United States. So when TikTok Incorporated implements the recommendation in the United States, that is very much TikTok Incorporated’s speech. That is the speech of a U.S. entity speaking in the United States. Fourth, the intellectual property for the algorithm is not owned by the Chinese government. It is owned by ByteDance LTD, which is a global entity, a company that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and operates subsidiaries throughout the world. And then fourth, He goes on to say, my final sub-center point is that the United States government concedes. Okay, did you catch that word? The United States government concedes that it has no evidence that China has ever attempted to date to control the U.S. TikTok platform. It concedes that China has not attempted to censor content on the platform in the United States. It concedes that China has not attempted to misappropriate the user data in the United States. And if China ever asked TikTok or asked TikTok through ByteDance to do any such thing, it would refuse. And then he goes on to say, I think what we heard today in oral arguments when all of the lawyers were up, were the most important First Amendment principles at stake here. We’re talking about a social media platform that is regularly used by 170 million Americans. That is half the country. This country has never taken the step in shutting down a speech platform, much less such an important speech platform. Because as the government effectively concedes in its brief, it’s afraid that the content that could come out on that platform might be dangerous. We don’t normally think of speech as dangerous. The Supreme Court has repeatedly said that speech is not dangerous. And you shut down a speech platform because you’re worried about speech being dangerous. That is the whole point of the First Amendment, that we engage with ideas and we let the truth come out. That’s the fundamental problem with this act. It doesn’t reflect the trust. that the First Amendment places in the American people. We are confident that the Supreme Court will place that trust in the American people, and we look forward to a favorable decision out of the court. So I think it’s important for people to know that we’ve been lied to about this. And I don’t know if the bad information originated from someone in government or not, but what I do know is that it’s been a longstanding belief held by many people, including myself at one time, that TikTok is owned by China. And even worse, some people believe it’s owned by the CCP. And I’m telling you, I have, you know, I’ll post a link to a TikTok video and, you know, I get responses from people that say, I will never use TikTok. I will never use that. It’s owned by the CCP. They’re stealing our data. In my mind, I’m thinking, okay, well, What is the CCP going to do with my account information that only includes a made-up username and an email address that I don’t use? But it turns out it’s all BS anyway, just like everything else. When the government tries to ban something, you know it’s something they don’t like. It has nothing to do with the people or what we want or what we need. If they’re threatened by it, they try to get rid of it. Think about Facebook and Zuckerberg. which, incidentally, he can take his excuses and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine, okay? If the government felt threatened by all the COVID disinformation, all of which turned out to be true, by the way, and Facebook allowed all of it without interfering, they probably would have tried to shut down Facebook, too, right? But companies like Meta, Facebook, Google, which is YouTube, and Twitter, when Facebook It was under Jack Dorsey. They caved. They all caved. They folded like lawn chairs and allowed the United States government to bully them into submission and censor the people with their purple-haired soy boy fact-checkers doing the bidding of the U.S. government through Facebook from their mommy’s basement. That’s kind of how that all played out. Not that any of these platform CEOs had a problem with the censorships. Because if they did, they wouldn’t have allowed it. They would have just told the government to go pound sand. They’re all radical leftists, and they probably enjoyed what they were doing, shutting down the accounts of conservatives and truth-tellers. But now people like Zuckerberg see the writing on the wall, and they understand that the incoming administration won’t tolerate their anti-American, anti-First Amendment BS. And they’re going to have problems. So now they’re crawling out of their caves, and they’re asking for forgiveness. That’s kind of what we’re seeing with Zuckerberg. And if you listen to this show, you’ve heard me talk about TikTok. You hear me talk about it all the time and why I believe government wants it shut down. I’ve said it before. And what do you know? It looks like I may have been right. I’ve always said that the government doesn’t want us talking to each other about what they’re doing. They don’t want independent journalists who are doing actual investigative journalism, not just regurgitating their 4 a.m. talking points. delivered to them by the deep state every day. They dig in and they release anything that they don’t approve of. It’s just the way it is. That’s how journalism is supposed to work. And so they come up with this ridiculous act, H.R. 7521, that Biden signed into law in April. And the act says that either TikTok finds an approved buyer and they sell TikTok or they’re going to be banned. in the United States. So what exactly is an approved buyer? So that’s my first question. Does Congress have to approve the buyer? Maybe Donald Trump can buy it. Wouldn’t that be amazing? Something tells me that if Congress has to approve the buyer, that Donald Trump would not be approved. I’m just throwing that out there. What’s interesting is that even as I’m researching the TikTok ban on the internet, and I’m trying to find information on this act, this 7521 act, all the AI bots are still producing results that say Chinese-owned company because that’s how they were trained to produce the results. Even though what I read to you was directly from one of TikTok’s attorneys currently engaged in oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court, Google still says it’s a Chinese-owned company. So it doesn’t matter what’s truth or what’s a lie, as long as it fits into the deep state’s mold and the deep state’s narrative and coincides with their agenda, that’s what people are going to see. Perhaps on page 3,470 in a Google result, you can see the truth about TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance. But I’m confident everything is going to come out eventually. Well, maybe not confident. I’m hopeful. Maybe hopeful is a better word. I did read that even if SCOTUS rules against TikTok, that it may take years for an actual ban to go into effect. So I guess we’ll see. But I just wanted everybody to understand that TikTok is not the devil. It’s not. And if you… Download the app where you’re saying to yourself, well, I don’t want to see a bunch of 13-year-old girls dancing. If you think that’s all TikTok is about, then you need to pull your head out of your behind, okay? TikTok has – okay, I’m going to tell you a little story about something. It’s not even on my notes. It’s something that I just want to tell you about a video that I watched this morning. There is a company out there called SB Tech. landscaping, I think, or SB, lawn care, something like that. And what this guy does, in addition to his paid jobs, is he goes around and he finds individuals, maybe elderly, maybe disabled in some way, who have really rough, you know, like their lawn hasn’t been mowed and their weeds haven’t been taken out and their bushes are untrimmed and their, you know, whatever. And And he will go around and he’ll find these people and he will do a landscaping job for them for free. Okay. And I was watching this video and this guy, he came up to a, this woman had to have been, I don’t know, at least 80 years old, had a hard time walking, had to walk with a cane and she was very slow. And he approached her and offered to clean up her property. And she said that she’d been getting, you know, warnings from, the town and everything that she needs to clean it up and, or they were going to send somebody out and charge her for it, which she doesn’t have the money to pay for it. So he cleaned it up. He does a fast motion kind of video and watches the whole, you know, you can watch the whole cleanup happening as it’s happening in, in fast time or whatever. So after that, he decided this woman really needs some help. because the driveway was really cracked and there was weeds growing out of the driveway and the house was not in complete disrepair from the outside, but you can just kind of imagine that the inside is probably in disrepair as well. Cause she lived there by herself and you know, there’s, there’s not, there’s nobody with her to help her, um, you know, take care of business on the inside. So he created a GoFundMe for her. And, um, This account is gigantic. His personal SB landscaping or whatever is a huge account. And he puts this GoFundMe out. He links it on his bio in his TikTok account. And he says that he’s trying to get some people to help with maybe replacing her driveway so it’s a little easier to walk on for her. She’s got a deck that’s falling apart, and he’s going to help her with that. Well, believe it or not, within two hours of that GoFundMe being set up, there was $150,000 in that account. When I saw the video and looked into it, I clicked on the GoFundMe because I was going to donate, and there was almost $500,000 in that GoFundMe account. That is mind-blowing. That is the power of TikTok. That is the power of this community coming together to help this woman replace some stuff on her house, and she was overwhelmed. She’s in tears, and she can’t even believe it. The guy’s the owner of SB Landscaping or whatever. His name is Spencer, and she was just completely beside herself when she found out that he had set this thing up, and all these people wanted to help her. So, That is the kind of stuff that you can find on TikTok. It’s not all teenagers twerking in front of the camera, okay? There’s a lot of good information that you can find on TikTok. There’s how-tos. There’s DIYs. Like I said, there’s cooking. There’s crochet. There’s travel. There’s everything that you can imagine. So get off the fact that you think TikTok is owned by the CCP and just go download it. And I think we need to fight this ban because it’s ridiculous, okay? It’s ridiculous because they want it banned. You have to know that there’s some good that’s coming out of it, okay? Okay. So I’m going to move on to these California fires. And I guess, you know, this is a good time as any just to tell you that you can go ahead and strap on that tinfoil helmet because some of this stuff is just things that are being thrown out there. Yeah, so… Of course you know I’m going to bring you something a little edgier than what you’re seeing on Fox News, right? Mama Glock always brings some spicy sauce to the talk radio party. So the updated info is that at least 25 people have died. The news is still reporting like 7 or 10 or something, some of which died trying to protect their homes from being engulfed in flames. Many people died in their homes. The Palisades Fire, this was as of 6 a.m. this morning, has burned 23,713 acres and is only 13% contained. The Eaton Fire has burned 14,117 acres and is 27% contained. The Hearst Fire has burned 799 acres and is 89% contained. And as of Sunday night, the Lydia, Archer, Woodley, Sunset, and Kenneth Fires were 100% contained and no longer considered active. So these last few fires collectively burned like 1,500 acres, roughly. So the official cause of the fires has not yet been determined. But a red flag warning is in effect through Wednesday for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Now we have fires popping up in Miami, Florida. what is it with all these fires right next to the ocean? Isn’t the ocean made of water? Couldn’t someone pump that water onto the fires somehow? I don’t know, just a thought. My husband works at it for a big, heavy civil construction firm, and he’s telling me they could set up pumps and, you know, they could get this water where it needed to be in no time. But what do we know, right? So let me just dive right into what the conspiracy theorists are saying about these fires. how and possibly why they were started. And remember, my opinions are not necessarily those of Crawford Broadcasting, their advertisers, employees, or that of Franktown Firearms, for that matter. That’s the beauty of living in this country. I can talk about this stuff, and you have the choice to listen to me or not, right? So do you remember when the smart meters were installed on all of our homes in Colorado? I think it was right around 2021-ish, right? I was very resistant to getting one. I was already kind of becoming awake and like, nah, I don’t know about this. I don’t like the, you know, this whole idea that somebody could shut my power off or, you know, whatever, just because they didn’t like what I said on Facebook or whatever. And my husband and I often talked about not getting one, like resisting getting one. But one day, We got a notice on our door that said we got one anyway. So we didn’t really get a choice in the matter. But some people are claiming that these fires were caused by these smart meters and on all of these fancy LA homes. So there’s that. Of course, there’s a lot of speculation that the fires are being set to destroy evidence in the Diddy case. Some are saying that the underground tunnel system is being destroyed as well. So that’s kind of freaky. Allie Carter, if you know who she is, if you don’t, go look her up. Allie Carter has her opinions on this, and we’re going to dive into this scenario for just a bit, okay? This is from a post on X by The Skiff. It’s The and then Skiff is S-C-I-F, okay? That’s the account on X. And ex-FBI chief Ted Gunderson tried to warn everyone and explained about the existence of underground tunnels existing underneath L.A. They use these underground locations and tunnels for satanic rituals and human trafficking by the elite and even members of our own government. Ted Gunderson also warned and exposed the rituals being performed by the elites at Bohemian Grove before the public was aware of its existence. And if you don’t know what Bohemian Grove is, you’ll have to go look that up. I’m not going to go into it. Gunderson dedicated his life to exposing satanic elite pedophile rings. He talked to numerous victims and whistleblowers who stated that elites would rape and murder kidnapped children from around the country and perform ritualistic practices and even make and distribute snuff films at the Bohemian Grove involving some of the most famous people in the world. Gunderson also exposed the CIA’s Finders cult, which also involved and our own government’s involvement in child sex trafficking. Gunderson was an originator when it came to exposing the elites and their satanic cults and child sex trafficking, but the public at this time just weren’t ready for such a dark truth to be revealed to them. And I’m reading to you from this ex-post, by the way. This is not me. This is this ex-post from the SCIF. Ted lost his life fighting for what was right, exposing these diabolical elites, and will never be forgotten. It is up to us now to continue exposing these satanic elites and end child trafficking once and for all. So I want you to listen to Gunderson himself as he explains what he discovered in his quest to expose human trafficking. Check this out.

SPEAKER 08 : 26:18

We connect all of the dots, and they’ve got some of the same symbols that go to Bathamon. The owl of Moloch up here in the Bohemian Grove, they sacrifice children. They do it symbolically now, maybe. No, no.

SPEAKER 07 : 26:32

I have a source, when he was 12, 13, 14 years old, who was put in a cage at the Bohemian Grove with another young boy who was part of their network. And they had a third young boy in there who had been kidnapped, and they had to commit sex acts with him, and then they had to murder him on camera. This is called a snuff film. These snuff films sell for $50,000 each.

SPEAKER 08 : 26:59

I know Sammy Davis Jr. was heavy under that.

SPEAKER 07 : 27:02

Well, Sammy Davis Jr. admitted he was involved in the Satanic. This all goes back to Satanic cults.

SPEAKER 08 : 27:08

He was with Anton LaVey, is that correct?

SPEAKER 07 : 27:10

That’s right. In Nebraska in the 1980s. I have sources who I’ve talked to, and they told me they were part of the network. One of them in particular was used as a decoy in parks, public places, shopping malls, to bring children his age, 12, 13, 14 years old, near the car. They’d kidnap the kids. He’d attended auctions where these kids were auctioned off for up to $50,000 each. He’s attended six auctions, as few as six and as many as 36 children were auctioned off for up to $50,000 each, as I said a moment ago. If you go to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website, last time I checked, there are 91 Americans who disappear every hour. And it is believed 85 to 90% of them are children. Okay? These children, of course, a lot of them are returned because they’re parental kidnaps and so forth. But a lot of them are not returned. And I have investigated and exposed an organization in Washington, D.C., known as the Finders. It’s a CIA child kidnapping ring. Tell them. I’ve investigated and exposed an organization in Washington, D.C., known as the Finders. It’s an international child kidnapping ring. And as I said a few moments ago, these kids sell on the auction block for up to $50,000 each. My source was there, and he was part of the network. He was one of the decoys. He uses a decoy, as I mentioned a few moments ago. So this all dovetails. And you give this to the law enforcement, they laugh at you. Because they’ve been infiltrated, very basically. Not every law enforcement agency, I’m sure. There’s a lot of good police officers, a lot of good FBI agents, CIA agents. But it’s a fact. Congressman Kucinich has announced that the CIA has their own assassination squad.

SPEAKER 04 : 29:02

So, you know, take that for what it is. I don’t know. But you can find that video with the ex-posts. on X, obviously, from this gift. And I’m sure you can find the entire interview. We’re going to be back in just a little bit here, and we’re going to talk about some other causes for the California fires. We’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 04 : 30:36

And we’re back. I was just talking about Ted Gunderson. If you want to look him up, you can. He’s exposing a lot of stuff, and this could all be – he says it’s all connected, and I think I’ve always said that everything is connected. It’s all connected. So there are also people with regard to these fires that say that this destruction – is necessary to begin implementing the Smart City program. Now, with that in mind, remember that Newsom has already said that they’re looking at reimagining LA 2.0. Okay, he said that. And I also want to remind everyone that California is no longer in a drought. The drought was officially declared over in 2022. In fact, they have a water surplus, and they’ve had a water surplus for the last two and a half years. That said, I would also like to remind everyone of the horrendous negligence by Governor Newscum with regard to California’s water situation. There has been a lot of runoff. Like I said, they now have a water surplus. They have more than enough water to fill their local reservoirs and perhaps the reservoirs that might feed those hydrants, right? And we’ll talk about that in just a second. But this water was allowed just to be drained off, just run off into the ocean instead. And then there’s the lack of forest management. Lots of brush that was left unchecked, uncleared, just allowed to overgrow and become tender for a wildfire. Probably because some endangered beetle, I don’t know, used this brush as their shelter and they couldn’t clear it because PETA would freak out. Johnny, I got you on the line. What you got for me?

SPEAKER 05 : 32:23

You beat me to the punch about him reimagining this. And what I was explaining to my wife, and she doesn’t understand, is they want to put these people in high rises and put them into these 15-minute communities just so they can have more control over these people. And most of those people are going to be the middle-class ones that bought the house years ago at another price, and then it raised up to this $2 million or whatever price. And it just seemed like by force, he’s saying, okay, it looks like just the Hawaiian thing and this. It looks like the same thing. By force, we can’t just suggest that you guys move out of single living households. We want to force you into doing what we say and then try to say it was an accident.

SPEAKER 04 : 33:22

Of course. That’s CMO. And, you know, you see all those properties that were perched right along the Pacific Coast Highway, and I’m going to talk about that, but all those properties just incinerated. The ones right on the ocean, like right on the ocean. There’s no land between those homes and the water. It’s totally evil, but it’s almost like

SPEAKER 05 : 33:52

okay, so he wants to save those little fishes, but how many people was he willing to sacrifice to get their plan through?

SPEAKER 04 : 33:59

Yeah, everyone. They don’t care. They don’t care. They really, really don’t. They know that if they build their high-rises and they build everything vertically and they pack it with people, somebody will move in, somebody will pay the rent, somebody will You know, they’re all going to comply, and that’s just how they think. And so, you know, we don’t need these energy-consuming, giant, you know, mega mansions and stuff right on the beach. We’re going to make these all into high-rise apartment complexes. And that’s what they want. Absolutely.

SPEAKER 05 : 34:32

Adam Crow, he said something that was kind of interesting on his show. He was saying something about, okay, all these people lost their homes, but you don’t see any of them being homeless. And, of course, he pointed out because they haven’t broken ties with people, they can call their friends, neighbors, family and say, hey, I need to hang out with you for a while, unlike these other people that are, you know, shooting up and cutting ties and all that. So I thought that was kind of interesting, too.

SPEAKER 04 : 35:00

And many of them own multiple homes. So they’ll just move into their other home, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER 05 : 35:08

Okay. That’s all I got. All right, Johnny.

SPEAKER 04 : 35:12

Thank you so much. So Revolver News put out a video of arsonists setting fires in Santa Monica, and I saw another video of a guy that some concerned citizens actually took down and, you know, waited for law enforcement to arrive. He had a blowtorch in his hand, or like, you know, one of those, the torches that I don’t know. We use it for like lighting fireworks and stuff like that on 4th of July. Just your propane torch. He had one of those. What are you doing with one of those? OK. And he was of course, he was an illegal migrant. And of course, no charges were filed against him because that’s just the way it is. And, you know, we don’t see any of that on the news. I saw that on TikTok. And maybe they’re just copycats who want to see the entire West Coast burned to ground. I don’t know. But then we have all those fire hydrants that I mentioned earlier that were offline. Isn’t that the whole purpose of a fire hydrant, to attach a hose to it and put out a fire? But, you know, they didn’t work. A lot of them were, they didn’t have water behind them. But the hydrants were painted with lovely LGBTQ rainbow colors. So that’s all that matters, I guess. That’s what’s really important is that we get that LGBTQ message out there in the form of painting a fire hydrant because that’s what people really need to focus on. An old video is reemerging now of Trump warning Newsom about the fire dangers around Southern California. And residents are beginning to demand Newsom’s resignation. And I hope that they rise up and just – kick that guy out of there. And as Johnny was saying earlier, Adam Carolla also predicted that a lot of California residents are going to leave the Democrat Party as a result of this debacle. So, yeah, we’ll see about that. But in 2022, the Los Angeles Fire Department donated all of their surplus equipment to Ukraine as the department now struggles with resource shortages amid the wildfire crisis. in an area that’s prone to wildfires, why would they do that? Why do you give away all of your equipment, even if it’s surplus equipment? Why? We’ve seen this before. We’ve seen these wildfires in California before. Why would they give away the surplus equipment knowing that they might need it? And they’ve also, they’ve turned down offers of help from fire departments in Oregon and Washington. What is going on? So now… Jim, I’m going to go ahead and take your call. What do you got for me?

SPEAKER 06 : 37:53

Well, just a couple things. First of all, I want to talk about TikTok just a teeny bit. I watch TikTok like you do, but at the same time, I’m not a huge fan of TikTok because TikTok, and I don’t really mess with Facebook or the rest of them either. Well, not all of them. Because, I mean, the thing is, you know, TikTok does their share of censoring, too. I mean, yeah, they put a lot of stuff out there. But they definitely do. I mean, and especially the stuff that, I don’t know, you know, you call someone out being stupid or doing stupid things or being real dumb. I mean, they’ll flat out. They’ll just do away with your comment. And it’s because I’m probably offending somebody. I’m like… So what do you want me to do, shed a tear for them because they got offended? Give me a break. I mean, come on, grow up. Yeah, exactly. But then I was watching another thing on TikTok. And actually, I’ve seen this several times, not just on TikTok, but I’ve also heard it on the radio as well. The biggest thing about TikTok is they’re being attacked by these other giant billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg. whoever the world that guy is that owns Google and stuff. And then, you know, because basically they’re cutting into their market is what it is.

SPEAKER 04 : 39:20

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER 06 : 39:22

You know what I’m saying? Well, I thought it was kind of interesting, too, because they were also talking about how Jeff Bezos is after them as well, because the TikTok shop is really cutting, I guess, really cutting into his market. into his share of the market as well, which I found kind of interesting.

SPEAKER 04 : 39:39

I’m sure it is. You know what I’m saying? And I’m partially responsible.

SPEAKER 06 : 39:46

So I found that – and I find it to be extremely believable. You know what I’m saying, Karen?

SPEAKER 04 : 39:52

Yep.

SPEAKER 06 : 39:52

As far as, you know, these other tech giants and these people like Jeff Bezos wanting to bring them down. Yeah, I can see it. You know, now onto the California thing. Oh, well – Before the California thing, I swear, we must be flipping up on that page on TikTok at the same time because that guy that was helping the old gal with cleaning up her yard and so forth. Yep. I’ll tell you what, that really touched my heart. Me too. You do not find very many young people that will go out of their way to help senior citizens in this country and do it for absolutely nothing. I mean… That just really touched my heart that there’s actually young people out there in our society that will go out of their way to help senior citizens in our society.

SPEAKER 04 : 40:44

Absolutely. And, you know, he’s benefiting from it too, which I think is great. He’s got a business and he’s a business owner and he’s, you know, but because he’s giving of himself and his time and then to have, you know, the whole TikTok community to come forward and donate to that GoFundMe was just astounding.

SPEAKER 06 : 41:05

Absolutely. And now on to the California fires. You know, well, first off, Glenn Beck’s extremely knowledgeable, and he’s got contacts like a lot of people don’t have. So the whole deal with those hydrants being dry, you know what the deal is with those hydrants? What? I bet you haven’t heard this. And Glenn Beck was talking about it one day on his show. Okay, so you know what public-private partnership is, right?

SPEAKER 04 : 41:37

Yes.

SPEAKER 06 : 41:38

You know, like the E-470 and express lanes and all that? Yep. Okay, so California, the California Water Board has sold, put up the bid, and they sold the California water rights to the agricultural giants in California. Yeah. And so the California agricultural giants, you know, the big food companies, are the ones that control the water. They have the complete say-so over that water now. Did you know that?

SPEAKER 04 : 42:10

No, but now they’ve got a cloud of dioxins that are going to poison all their crops. So whatever. I guess they shot themselves in the foot.

SPEAKER 06 : 42:19

Well, and I think that’s a fish that’s going to come out as to how – because like he was saying, now a lot of that water that used to go to the – to the city is now being diverted back into the farm fields up there in Northern California. And, I mean, and don’t get me wrong, you know, I think, you know, you have to have water to have crops, otherwise you just don’t eat. But I saw another thing on TikTok where they were talking about, and actually I think I’ve seen it in several places, that part of this whole thing with the burning down of all these fires in California is, is they want to start depopulating California. They realize California realized that they’re overpopulated and they want to start depopulating that state.

SPEAKER 04 : 43:10

Yeah, so, yeah, and what a coinkydink, right, that we’ve got, you know, the COVID thing, the COVID con and the vax and this and North Carolina and blah, blah, blah. I think depopulation is part of the agenda. Whether, you know, people choose to believe it or not, I really, really honestly think that that’s what a lot of this is about.

SPEAKER 06 : 43:31

Oh, I do, too, even though some of it doesn’t make no sense, though. I mean, I don’t know. Sometimes if you think about it, it’s like, okay, well, if they want to depopulate, then why are they letting literally millions of illegals into their state at the same time, which doesn’t make no sense. But you know what? I read a lot of books. I just finished up Red Famine on Ukraine. And I’ll tell you what, the things that the communists do, Just like what Joseph Stalin did over in Ukraine back in the 30s. The communists, they do things that just doesn’t make no sense. You scratch your head like, what are these people thinking about? You know what I’m saying? Yeah. It’s pretty crazy. Well, I mean, really, communists and Marxists, they don’t think on the same level of common sense, good sense, whatever you want to call it, as everybody else do. They’re in this… mixed-up world or universe of their own, I think.

SPEAKER 04 : 44:30

Yeah, and it’s ironic that you bring up Marxist because the piece that I’m about to play is going to explain a little bit about Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. So stay tuned for that.

SPEAKER 06 : 44:41

Okay, okay. Talk to you later, Karen.

SPEAKER 04 : 44:44

Thanks. Bye-bye. So we’re going to talk about this radical leftist Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass. I’m sure this is just a coincidence and that none of this information is pertinent to the job she’s doing as mayor of L.A. We’re going to play a piece, a little informative piece, so you can learn a little bit about Karen Bass and kind of where she comes from and what she’s all about. Check this out.

SPEAKER 01 : 45:07

November 7, 1983. Remember this date, but first, let me introduce you to Karen Bass. Back in the 1970s, community activist Karen Bass went on at least 15 trips to Cuba, many with a group known as the Venceramos Brigade, a Marxist group started by the Castro regime to subvert American interests, weaken democracies, and spread communism around the world. Founded in 1969, the Venceramos Brigade organized trips to Cuba every year for half a century. They attracted the most radicalized and delusional segments of the American left, including overtly Maoist and pro-Soviet communist groups. In fact, a Los Angeles police investigator who infiltrated the group testified to Congress saying that to be a member of the brigade, you had to be confirmed as a Marxist-Leninist. as a brigadista and then moving up the ranks to organizer for the Venceremos Brigade. Karen Bass visited Cuba every six months. Their mission? To radicalize young, impressionable American leftists in terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare. Members of the Venceremos Brigade were even taught how to make bombs. Karen Bass admits on her many pilgrimages to Cuba, she went to see Fidel Castro speak several times, even calling him charismatic. and upon his death, praised him, saying, The passing of Commandant Enjefe is a great loss to the people of Cuba, even though the people of Cuba see him as a dictator who impoverished their island. Another group, the M19, took its belief in revolutionary anti-imperialism to extremes, violent extremes. The M19 was the first and only women-created and women-led domestic terrorist group. Since their founding in 1978, M-19’s tactics escalated from robbing armored trucks and abetting prison breaks to building their own explosives and carrying out terrorist bombings. From 1983 to 1984, M-19 bombed an FBI office the Israel Aircraft Industries Building, the South African Consulate in New York, D.C.’ ‘s Fort McNair, and Navy Yard, which they bombed twice. But that wasn’t enough for them. On the night of November 7, 1983, the M-19 called a U.S. Capitol switchboard and warned them to evacuate the building. Minutes later, the M-19 bombed the north wing of the U.S. Capitol. November 7, 2023 marks 40 years since the M-19’s bombing of the U.S. Capitol. Members of the M-19, like Susan Rosenberg, traveled to Cuba with and were radicalized by the Vence Ramos Brigade. The South Los Angeles Vence Ramos Brigade was led by Karen Bass, who is now mayor of Los Angeles.

SPEAKER 04 : 48:05

So how do you like that? And then from the National Pulse, in a leaked memo, L.A. mayor forced huge budget cut on fire department just days before the fire outbreak. So the Los Angeles Fire Department disclosed it was struggling to implement a massive $48.8 million budget cut forced on it by the city’s Democrat mayor, Karen Bass, just days before the catastrophic wildfires broke out earlier this week. A leaked January 6th department memo states, The LAFD believed a worst case scenario, worst case budget scenario, meaning no relief from the mayor would result in the closure of upward of 16 fire stations. So we have this budget cut and then we have this water mismanagement and this forest mismanagement and the whole thing, but it’s all just a tragic coincidence, right? It’s just a tragic coincidence. None of this is related. It just is an accident. And that’s what we’re led to believe, and that’s what probably most of the people in the United States believe. So then we have other accounts pointing out anomalies that were detected on radar coming out of Area 51 of all places and going directly over through the weather patterns to Southern California. And I’ve seen them. I’ve seen them on video on NEXRAD and all that stuff. And after this anomaly gets to Southern California, NEXRAD radar in the west was crisscrossing right over Area 51. And then there’s the insurance companies that were canceling fire insurance policies, many homeowners insurance policies, and many of those mansions along the PCH. But I’m sure that has nothing to do with any of this, right? I’ve seen footage of houses burning from the inside, like video taken outside, and you see inside is burning to, you know, just in tinder, whatever. And how do we explain that? Why would a fire start on the inside? Oh, that’s right. It’s climate change. That’s right. I’m sorry. I must have forgotten about that. Where’s Greta Thunberg when you need her, okay? And then we have Larry Fink’s grandson who goes by Beauty Marked on TikTok. He predicted these fires were coming a long time ago. And for context, this guy, this Beauty March guy, is not proud of his lineage being associated or related to Larry Fink and says Larry abandoned his father at a very young age. Well, Larry Fink’s BlackRock finances CERN. And if you don’t know what CERN is, just go look it up, C-E-R-N-G. And this guy says CERN had a satellite over Maui before that fire started. And he says he’s seen the blueprints for all this stuff. And last but certainly not least, there’s information circulating on TikTok that the fires were intentionally set by employees of a company identified as Westland Development. Quote, sources revealed that the company’s owner, Richard Graves, had millions of dollars in interest tied to the scorched lands, aiming to transform them into a massive real estate project. There was footage of these fires being ignited that was given to the FBI, and the footage left them speechless. Reports indicate that Graves used sophisticated methods designed to mimic natural fires, making it nearly impossible to trace the criminal acts back to him. Experts warned that this might be just the beginning. Evidence points to the possibility of other companies being part of a larger conspiracy to profit from the destruction of protected areas. Documents seized by the FBI contain revelations that could shock the entire nation. What they uncovered might forever change how we view environmental disasters. Yeah, well, it might change the way that the common liberal sheep views natural disasters, but I am one of those people who will look at everything with a hairy eyeball. You’ve already heard me talk about the hurricanes in Western North Carolina and how I don’t believe for a split second that it was naturally occurring. No way. There’s no way that a hurricane goes 500 miles across land and hits a mountainous region in North Carolina. No, that doesn’t happen. And then you start hearing about the lithium and hearing North Carolina Governor Josh Stein saying some communities just aren’t worth rebuilding. Really? Are those the ones that sit atop the area’s richest in lithium by chance? Is there any chance of that? Because I would say that the residents of those areas who lost everything and they’re pulling their loved ones out of the mud and the $750 loan that they were offered, if they even qualified for it, probably didn’t go very far in rebuilding their lives, would probably disagree with you, Joshie. And then we have… Biden saying that no matter what, California gets our full support. We’re going to take care of you guys. Blank check. You guys can have as much money as you need to rebuild. What is that? I don’t believe a word that any of them say. And when it comes to news coverage on the mainstream media, I don’t believe any of that either. In fact, I would venture that anything they report, I automatically just look in the opposite direction. Okay, this is just the way I’m wired now. And no matter how you slice it, no matter what or who you blame the LA fires on, you can be certain that the cloud of toxic smoke, as I was talking about earlier, that was produced from these fires is going to cause irreparable harm to the soil and the surrounding areas. Can you say dioxins? If you go to Natural News, Mike Adams’ website, you can read all about that. this has a lot of trappings of East Palestine train derailment in terms of the toxins that are produced when something like this happens. And of course, we don’t hear anything about East Palestine anymore. Nothing. It’s all done deal. But those people are still suffering. And at least we’re not hearing about it on the news. You got to kind of dig around and find information on that. So it’s all a mess. It’s all a mess. And I just wanted to kind of bring you some of the theories that are out there. I’m not going to call them conspiracy because that’s kind of a moot term anymore, but that’s just some of the info that’s out there. So on to something else a little, well, it’s not really lighter, but do you guys travel? And if you do travel, do you travel by air? So the TSA is releasing some information on the types of passenger behaviors that raise suspicion and may cause you some trouble when going through airport security. Jeff Price, an airport security coordinator trainer and a professor of aviation management at the Metro State University of Denver, has an extensive background in airport management and 33 years of aviation security. He spoke with Fox News Digital about certain behaviors that flight passengers should be wary of when going through TSA. He says there are really three things that you look for when you’re doing suspicious awareness training and suspicious awareness activities. One is whether people are dressed appropriately for the weather at their departure or arrival point. And to me, some of these TSA agents seem like that’s all they can do just to verify your name on your driver’s license. It wouldn’t be diving into what the weather forecast is at your destination. But anyway, another is when they see people yawning excessively, exaggerated yawning, lots of yawning that might attract attention. When people are stressed, they want more oxygen. Another bit of behavior is when you have the 1,000-yard stare or lack of eye contact. So the takeaway here is the next time you fly and are going through security, be sure to dress for the weather, do everything you can not to yawn, even if you’re on a red-eye flight, and make sure you’re locking eyes with that TSA agent like a creep at all times while you’re being screened. Don’t look away. Don’t even blink. That’ll get you through a lot faster and maybe keep you out of trouble. with the TSA, which I just found all this hilarious. That’s going to do it for me today, you guys. Thank you so much for spending the last 58 minutes with me on Shooting the Breeze. It goes by so fast. As always, I appreciate each and every one of you.
