Episode CCXL: Paulie P's stonks dump, Mayor Tiff, Oakland & more
The gang discuss the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Ian, described as a once-in-a-generation storm. They share details about the widespread devastation, including towns being wiped away, record-breaking rainfall, and millions left without power across multiple states. The hurricane maintained its strength even after making landfall, exacerbating the damage. The boys mention specific affected areas like Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Chimney Rock and Asheville, North Carolina. The group expresses sympathy for those impacted and gratitude for being spared from such disasters. They note the efforts of out-of-state power crews assisting with recovery efforts. Earth's Inner Core Rotation and Its Impact We reviewed an article about Earth's inner core rotating more slowly than usual since 2010, a phenomenon known as backtracking. This could potentially alter the planet's overall rotation and lengthen our days. The inner core is a solid iron and nickel chunk, surrounded by the outer core, a super hot layer of molten metals. The study analyzed data from over 100 repeating earthquakes to confirm this change. The ongoing research on the Earth's inner core is challenging, with uncertainties about the cause of backtracking and the frequency of acceleration and deceleration. The study aims to continue analyzing seismic data to learn more about the inner core and its changes over time. Ocean, Black Holes, Insider Trading, and Inflation Jay discussed his fascination with the ocean and black holes, expressing interest in sea monsters and the role of supermassive black holes in maintaining order in galaxies. He also questioned the claim that insider trading does not occur among members of Congress, citing the sale of Visa stock by Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, just a week before the Department of Justice Antitrust lawsuit. The conversation also touched on inflation, the stock market, and the missing 2 trillion dollars on September 10th, 2001, with a reference to the subsequent Pentagon attack. Mexican Cartel's Drug Trafficking Operations in Montana Jay discussed the Mexican cartel's drug trafficking operations in Montana, including their influence on the resort industry and involvement in distributing fentanyl and methamphetamine. He mentioned they have set up operations on Indian reservations due to limited law enforcement presence. Lake also highlighted the arrest of a former Mexican police officer linked to the Sinaloa cartel, which dismantled a drug ring. He emphasized the challenges law enforcement faces due to Montana's vast geography and underfunded tribal police. FBI Investigation Into Oakland Mayor and Duong Family We discussed the ongoing FBI investigation into Oakland's Mayor, Shen Thal, and the Duong family. The investigation is expanding and has subpoenaed the Oakland Police Department. The investigation is reportedly linked to campaign contribution laundering and transparency issues. Lake also mentioned the case of Mayor Tiffany Henyard from Illinois, who is facing eviction due to unpaid rent. Henyard has been criticized for her spending habits and has been involved in several controversies. Gratitude, Content Sharing, and Halloween Discussion Jay & Chris expressed gratitude for Angel's return after recovering from pneumonia. Angel encouraged listeners to check out their content on Bitchute and subscribe to their Patreon for more content. Lake also mentioned a recent conversation with Christopher, who had to leave early due to technical issues. The team also discussed the start of spooky season and the importance of personal hygiene during Halloween. https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/geology/earths-rotating-inner-core-is-starting-to-slow-down-and-it-could-alter-the-length-of-our-days https://nypost.com/2024/09/24/business/nancy-pelosis-husband-sold-500k-in-visa-stock-before-dojs-antitrust-suit/ https://oaklandside.org/2024/06/20/fbi-search-oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-andy-duong/ https://news.yahoo.com/news/
