George's Post-Quali Interview🏁 "We were quickest in FP3, quickest in Q1, quickest in Q2 and I had an issue with the power steering in Q3 and qualified fourth.:Lando did an amazing job and these conditions are obviously very challenging and ultimately it always comes down to that last lap. That last lap is key and unfortunately in Q3 I had this problem. So I'm not saying I would have been there with Lando who clearly did an amazing job but it was just a shame. But it went away from us at the key moment of the day. I jumped out the car 10 minutes ago but just suddenly on one lap I didn't hit a wall or anything but the steering got really heavy. Every time I was sliding I couldn't control, it was like getting locked in position. So on my last lap I was talking with the engineer making sure it's even safe to drive because when you're doing 230 miles an hour down the straight and you think maybe the wheel might fall off or something might happen, it's a bit concerning and it doesn't give you the most amount of confidence to send it around the corner. So as I said, I am disappointed. We looked quick, it just didn't come together but P4 is not a bad place. I think we've got a chance. I think we'll be in the fight. I don't think there'll be a big pace difference between the three teams at the front. I can't say which way, like who's going to be the quickest or who's going to be the slowest but I'll be surprised if the spread is more than a tenth of a second between the three teams. So that makes for an exciting race. Sometimes being at the back to start with, you can do something slightly different with the strategy. So yeah, it could be okay." #LasVegasGP #F1

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “But it really didn’t occur to you that you could be fired after so many of your colleagues had been let go after you’d had this, you know, very contentious interaction with your new boss?” Scott Pelley: “You know, some reporter, I turned out to be. I just didn’t connect the dots. I mean, was this meeting contentious? Yes, but 60 Minutes is known for two things, a ticking stopwatch and hard questions. And we ask ourselves those hard questions in the shop because they sharpen us and make us better. There was a screening once with Mike Wallace and Mike and the executive producer and founder of 60 Minutes, Don Hewitt, got into a big argument about a script. Wallace jumps up in the middle of the screening, throws his script up in the air and yells at Don. Well, then you write the f’ing thing. One of those pieces of paper comes down and slices an associate producer across the face. He’s bleeding now. He’s got a paper cut on his face. That was about a story. The meeting that I was in was about whether 60 Minutes was going to even survive or not.” Garcia-Navarro: “So, you walk in, and what was the energy of the room?” Pelley: “Hostile, dismissive before I could take my seat. Tom Cibrowski said, this is a firing offense. I was confused. I wasn’t sure who he was talking about in the room, but it became plain very quickly that they were talking about me, and they were unhappy about the meeting that had occurred, a meeting that had ended in thunderous applause for me, if I may say so, because somebody had stood up for the broadcast.”

(1/2) Last night's Aidan Kearney meltdown over his falling out with Karen Read on an X Space is the peak of catharsis and real-time online toxicity: It starts with the the bombshell claim about Aidan recorded Karen Read, moves to Karen's newly-released texts about being "done" with Aidan after "someone" sent a recording of that conversation to David Yannetti and Alan Jackson, then spirals into ad hominems, and ends with Kearney storming off to counter-publish. The flood of primary source documents posted on online overnight, thus, acts as the host's (Chris) victory lap over Kearney. FULL TRANSCRIPT; *(Cleaned for grammar/spelling, punctuated for flow, and line-broken for readability. Some errors are expected.)* **Aidan:** Am I on? **Host/Other:** You're on. **Aidan:** So who are you? Who is this? **Chris:** Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter who I am. **Aidan:** Well, it does. You're some fucking kangaroo court motherfucker talking about her. What the fuck do you know about anything? **Chris:** Well, I don't know exactly what you've been doing. **Aidan:** So what are your sources? What are your sources? What are your sources you're talking about? Huh? You don't know your sources? What do you talk about? No, your sources. Shut up. Let's see 'em. Let's see your sources. **Lily:** Hang on, Aidan. I'm the host. I'm Lily. **Aidan:** Yes, Lily. Hi, Lily. How are you? **Lily:** I'm good. I'm just going to wait. I know you may not know it, Chris, but you know me. And so I just wanted to say hi. **Aidan:** Yeah, I know, but this Koala motherfucker is up here making shit up, running his mouth nonsense. Let's see the receipts. I mean, what were you talking to Karen Read about? What are you talking about? Who the fuck are you? **Chris:** I'm asking you flat out: Did you or did you not record her phone calls between yourself and Karen? **Aidan:** I did not. I did not. **Chris:** Okay, so Karen is lying? **Aidan:** You talked to Karen Read? Karen isn't talking to anyone in the media, but she's talking to this call-the-motherfucker. That's what you're telling me right now. **Chris:** Like I said, If you want to go down this hill, stand ten toes down." **Aidan:** I'm calling you out because you're making shit up. **Chris:** Who? I'm not making anything up. I'm not making anything up. I'm not making anything up. **Aidan:** So let's see it. Let's see the fucking evidence. Let's see your communications with Karen Read where she says that. Let's see it. **Lily:** Hang on. Chris, you're going to have to provide the receipts. **Chris:** I'm going to tell you, the guy who's doing this—you know, he's going to put them out. **Chris:** Do you really want to prove it? You want to prove it to me? I've got all the mistakes that come out. I can't. Literally. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. What's that? Let's see it. Let's see it. Produce it. Tweet it out right now. **Aidan:** So I'm denying it—like, hardcore, 100%. I'm the guy you have to deny it to. I don't, because you've become a bit of a fuck-up. It's about as fucking legitimate as Lindsey trying to be a rake. Let's fucking see it, motherfucker. You got it, right? 'Cause I—accusations—I always bring fucking receipts. Where's your receipt, bitch? **Aidan:** You got 'em? **Chris:** I've got 'em now. I think you want me to be saying—to be honest—hang a room on the fucker with no receipt. **Aidan:** You got 'em? Yes or no? **Chris:** I've got a receipt. Where's your fuck? **Chris:** You just need, bro—you just need to like chill, because you're gonna have a lot of fucking neck on your face, because I don't really care. **Chris:** I said to the people who bought this story: If I end up having egg on my face, I'll put everyone's name in it, and I'm given—I have a... Just shut your fucking mouth for one fucking minute. **Aidan:** Right. Let's see it. **Chris:** I've just messaged the person. **Aidan:** Joe Flipp, you want to talk about a fucking psychopath? That motherfucker is—just, Joe Flipp. Really want to fucking go there?" 'Cause it's Joe. You can just say it's Nick from Philadelphia, isn't it? Yeah, I know all about Nick from Philadelphia. If you fucking want to go there and the fucking hell—that psychopath—what Olivia Lambo went through. You just don't want to come out. Does he want to talk about all that? Does he want to launch? **Chris:** Okay? You know what? How was your lunch with Meredith the other week. Fuck it. I don't care. How was your lunch with Meredith? How's your lunch with Meredith? **Aidan:**What the fuck? **Chris:** Chat, what, what am I talking about? How is your lunch with Meredith here? We got—you know what you want to do? You want to carry on and be a fuck with me here? I like you—always up. **Chris:** How was your lunch with Meredith a couple weeks ago, and what did you play for her? What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, what the fuck am I talking about? You know exactly what I'm talking about. And I'm trying to do this respectfully, but you come in hot like you always do. So now I'm just gonna fucking do it. How was your lunch with Meredith the other week? **Aidan:** I didn't have one with Meredith. Yeah, bullshit. Okay, so that's it. So someone else is lying now. **Chris:** So you're gonna call Meredith a liar? Why? Meredith's a liar? **Aidan:** Are you talking to Meredith? **Chris:**I'm not talking to Meredith. **Aidan:** What are you talking about? **Chris:** Okay, well, so you have great Meredith in an Oscar. If you said that to Meredith, you just spread rumors. That's what you do—you don't spread any rumors. I want to laugh tonight about this. **Erika Walsh:** I warned you, Chris, about this last night. **Aidan:** You got no—Joe Flipp—fucking feeding you nonsense. That slimy psychopath, fucking nut job who called in Olivia's entire family to harass them—to the point where she had the fucking... Nothing to do with Olivia. And Joe's Flipp— **Chris:* this is to do with you. Stop deflecting, that motherfucker. **Aidan:** I'm telling you this—he's the one telling you this. **Chris:** I've been told by three different people. Three different people. There's people in this chat who know about this. There's people in chat—they won't stand up and say anything, but I know the people who know about this. **Aidan:** Bring all these lame cons up one by one so I can slam 'em down one by one, because none of you motherfuckers got a receipt to back up any of this shit. None of you do. Bring it. By adding them. **Chris:** Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. **Joe Flipperhead:** You have the text, bro. You know I saw the screenshot. **Aidan:** So we gonna talk about what you did to Olivia Lambo? We have a lot of things, dude. **Joe:** You're deflecting. When you... **Aidan:** You want to go there? Mark Bedderow? Oh, of being in on a fucking conspiracy against you? To tell us—if when we told you Olivia Lambo... You made us fucking get on a FaceTime with her because you thought she was dead. You thought you were being catfished by her, fucking... I was, and so we agreed to do a Zoom call with her. And when I called you and I told you Olivia Lambo is real—I just saw her face. What did you do? You accused me and Mark Bedderow of lying to you, of being in on it, because you are a fucking psychopathic motherfucker. And I didn't put it there because I don't want to fuck... **Joe:** Yeah, you did put it out there, though. If you want to get into the Olivia thing, that's fine, and I'll go down that road. But you're calling me a psychopath You fucking recorded Karen Read's fucking calls and sent them to people. **Chris:** I'm just gonna keep muting him because he's yelling. You can say it. **Aidan:** Is this Lily's space or yours? **Joe:** I have the text, dude. I'll put it on one of our... Your—She told me she's fucking done with you, dude. **Aidan:** All right. I'm going on my own right now. I'm calling out fucking Joe Flipp-ed life. If I get muted one more fucking time. I'm gonna do a whole fucking... Thank you. I'm publishing all your fucking texts—the whole world can see what a fucking sadistic psychopath you are. You controlling predator piece of shit. You fucking go there. **Chris:** This is completely the actions of a normal innocent person. **Aidan:* You're a pyscho freak. **Joe:** Yeah, says the guy that recorded Karen. **Aidan:** Oh, yeah, let's hear it. See the fucking recording. Can I hear it? **Joe:** I got the text saying you recorded. But the text says there's a recording, so where's the fucking recording? *Aidan:** Hey, let's hear Joe. Why? I just got asked if I'm—what would you say if I'm a massage in this? Like, go— **Joe:** Why does Liv still text me to this day? **Aidan:** You text her. Oh, you want to see the receipts, dude? I've seen the receipts—all of them. Okay, I got all the receipts. **Joe:** You got the August ones, the September ones where she misses me and hates how things ended? You got those? Fuck, I see 'em. Publish 'em. I will do it. I don't plan—I talk about you. Go for it. **Chris:** You're doing everything back. **Joe:** When I told you how she wouldn't FaceTime me for three months, how she puts up month-old pictures if you wouldn't fucking... **Aidan:** Yeah, you know why? You know why she wouldn't do that? She's just not into you. Ever have you do this with every girl you fucking talk to? **Joe:**You said to me, after reading the text from her sister— **Chris:** Says the guy who is swining on a 19-year old. **Joe:** You said Aidan, that she said to you, "she's love with you," bro. That's what you said. She's in love with you. That's what you said. Yeah, when her sister—and then he can get you caught by somebody. Let's just get back to you. Deflection from Aidan, who doesn't want to be on the line. **Joe:** As you wish—she wouldn't FaceTime me. She wouldn't meet up with me, and she lied to me constantly. Yeah, why would she meet up? **Aidan:** Maybe she's just not that into you. Ever think about that? Maybe she's just not that into you. Maybe you saw the text. I know, I know—it's hard for you to accept that the girl just doesn't want you. You have to accept the person doesn't want nothing to do with you, isn't it? I did, and you got clingy and possessive. And so she fucking stopped talking to you, so you called her mother and you talked—you don't even know because you're psychotic, bro. I'm fucking... you. *Joe:** You're just deflecting, bro. This is fucking pathetic. I'm not your one. She's talking about this. **Aidan:** I got no fucking thing—you—you are a fucking psychopath. **Joe:** You're first of all—she doesn't want you to fucking be talking about this because why? **Aidan:** You're the one fucking airing it out now, motherfucker. **Chris:** You're the one airing it because you got caught recording Karen. **Aidan:** So let's hear the recording. Let's play the recording. You got a recording of me, right? **Joe:** I know you did it, dude. **Aidan:** What? **Joe:** I know you recorded. Are you lying? Karen Read's a liar? All right, am I...? **Aidan:** You are the fucking coward. Where's the recording? What recording you talking about? You're—you're— **Joe:** You're accusing Karen Read of lying about this? **Aidan:** Yes. **Joe:** You're really—are you really serious? How many fucking—serious? **Aidan:** Let's hear the fucking recording. **Lily** Chris or Joe? Please play it. Did it? You didn't have... for people. Can you please provide a receipt? Just like I think it's fair. **Joe:** Aidan has it. **Aidan:: I thought you had it. I thought you had it. Let's hear it. Let's hear the recording. **Joe:** All right, you sent me the text that I sent. You haven't... **Aidan:** Yeah, let's—so let's hear the actual recording. Does it exist, though? **Joe:** So Karen is lying. **Aidan:: Karen Read would never lie (sarcastic tone). Oh, yeah. **Chris:** True color. *Joe:** So yeah, let me just run this: You recorded it. You recorded the conversation. You showed it to people, and then the very next day she randomly accused you of fucking doing it. That's what happened. That's what your story is, right? **Aidan:** There's no fucking recording. **Joe:** There is, dude. Where is it? **Aidan:** So let me hear it. Play it. **Joe:** I don't fucking have it. **Aidan:** Oh, you don't know if there's a recording, do you? Thank you. Because you're full of shit. I know—I just fucking caught you. That's what you just said. Those—bring it up here. I talked to somebody—bring her up here. Bring Karen Read up here, bro. You talked to her? Bring her on up here. **Joe:** I spoke to somebody that you played the recording for. Okay, oh—you know, just—I just say I've already said it, so just say it. Okay, I said I wanted to not say her name, but you know who—you played it for. **Aidan:** I haven't played it for anyone just— there's no recording. **Joe:** Stop fucking lying. Let's hear it from the point. *Aidan:** Let's hear it. Let's hear it. **Joe:** Aidan, this is fucking crazy, dude. **Aidan:** I'm not the one that fucking caught it—got blocked by Olivia's mother, and fucking brother... **Joe** Here we go. This is deflecting, and dude—that's admitting how fucking guilty you are right here. **Aidan:** Let's hear a fucking recording. You said you got a fucking recording, right? **Joe:** Nobody said that. We said—oh, Karen Read doesn't want to talk to you anymore because you recorded her calls, set them to people, and it got back to her. **Chris:** I got a question for you, Aidan, I didn't know—so sure. When you went on your little pity party and then you— **Joe:** The worst part is you lied to everybody acting on it. You had no idea what was wrong and why she she fucking set you straight—trying to get sympathy. That, my friend, is fucking psychotic. **Aidan:** Okay, okay, sure thing. Yeah, you said I sent the recording out. Where's the recording? *Joe:** Dude? It's not—I'm not obligated to fucking get the recording. **Aidan:** Oh, yeah, you wouldn't want to back it up, right? **Joe:** You're so—you're going to go on record that Karen is lying? Say it. You're caling Karen Read a liar about this. **Aidan:** There is no fucking recording. **Joe:** You're lying, dude. It's fucking crazy. This is what's here. It—play the note. You played it for somebody. You got it. I don't got it. **Aidan:** Let's hear you play it. You're the one that says there's a fucking record. **Chris:** I mean, that's—you have a history of recording people. **Lily:** Wait, we have—well, I feel like we have a responsibility as me as a host to Chris and... You're both—you're actually both not providing a receipt, and I'm—Aidan is actually asking for a receipt. I have to—for the recording. **Joe and Chris** He has—asking for the recording. **Lily:** You guys—she has which he sent to—we know I said. So who has it? One of the receipts. I know you're not gonna have— **Aidan:: you don't have the recording because— **Lily:** Just fucking say it. Karen doesn't want the recording out there. **Aidan:** What recording? There's no recording. **Joe:** Never even asked her for it, to be honest with you. **Aidan:** And so you wait—yeah, you never asked. Thank you—you never asked. **Joe:** Karen is fucking so done with you, bro. She sent—she told me about this completely unsolicited. **Lily:**That's beside the point, and I'm not the first—(Joe) Karen's done with him, ..but what the fuck—just post the fucking receipt for him. **Chris:** You can't come on here saying he has it, Lily. He's seen the same thing you've seen. He's even seen the same thing that I showed you. **Lily:** I know. You don't come on here and say I've got this, and then Aidan demands a receipt—you deserve. Okay... **Joe:** He's deflecting, asking for a recording he knows about the text. **Lily:** Yeah, I know, Joe. I get what you're saying, and I respect every—like what you're saying, but he's denying it. **Joe:** Fine, I'll post the fuck—I'll post them right now. I really don't give a fuck. **Lily:** Thank you. And that's immense—he can—he can then riff like whatever he can. I can't—I'm so like nervous. I've got dry mouth because... Then Aidan can like look at those, and he at least has—you know exactly what's been spoken about. He's just denying it. I can't say that, and I get it, but he is asking for the receipt, which is fair. And **Joe:** I'll even add the text message when he came on here initially. He said it was all alive, right? He said he sent me—fucking text message on Monday morning. **Lily:** I see it. We've established that now. We established that Aidan's denying it, so just post the receipt that you have, and then he can actually reflect on that and—and do you see what I mean? He's not gonna turn around now and say actually it is true. But if you've got the receipt, he can then say, "I will—this is x, y and z there." I just think it's fair—like... **Aidan:** Now, yeah, what he has is a screenshot that he claims is from Karen Read. It was— **Joe:** You're saying it's not from Karen Read. **Aidan:** I don't—there's no fucking name on the top. **Joe:** Yeah, I have it. Do you want me to read? **Aidan:** Okay, so there was an allegation? I'm reading. **Joe:** Do I have a text from you saying I was sent the same thing the morning after the verdict? Did you not say that to me? **Aidan:** Yes, you sent me the same thing the morning after the verdict. **Joe:** Okay, so then she sent it to me too. **Aidan:** Yeah, she knows—she said to me the morning after the Wilbur—she after the morning after the show, she said that she was sent a 30-minute fucking tape. Where's the fuck? What tape? Okay, she's not fucking accusing me. I have no—there's no fucking tape. There's no tape. She thinks I recorded her because I fucking told people about the conversation. That's it. **Joe:** You're telling me you didn't? **Aidan:: And I'm telling you I fucking didn't. You're wrong. **Joe:** 100% You're lying, dude. **Aidan:** Okay, so prove it. Let's see it. You got evidence, right? You like evidence? You got Any? **Joe**: I mean—I—a screenshot of—how many people did you send it to? **Aidan:** Zero, because there's no recording. **Joe:** There is. **Aidan:** Let's hear it. Play it. Let's play it. Let's go. **Joe:** Let's hold on. Let's hold on. Can I go real quick? So you come in here calling it—you were making fun of Chris because he's an Australian motherfucker. He doesn't have nothing, right? You said there was no text, no proof. And then now we're transitioning to the recording because I don't have the recording. Okay, so you think Karen Read is just fucking lying about this? How would she know? How would she know what about the recording? **Aidan:** There is no recording. **Joe:** You're telling me you didn't show it to anybody? Is that really what you're gonna tell people? **Aidan:**There's no recording to share with anyone. Okay, okay. Well, I mean, you got evidence, right? To back this up. **Joe:** Yeah, right. **Aidan:: You got something, right? Yeah, yeah. Did you been right? I mean, you have that, right? You have that right because you wouldn't say something—because if you know I had it, right? **Joe:** I have—why Karen Read won't speak to you. **Aidan:** You have a screenshot of a conversation with Karen Read. You don't have an actual fucking audio, though. **Joe:** I have—in Karen Read's words. Why do you think she would lie about this? **Aidan:** Do I think she would lie about having a recording? **Joe:** She wouldn't lie about this. Explain that one—about having a recording. **Aidan:** Yes, I know she's lying about that. **Joe:** Why, though? **Aidan:** I don't know why Karen is acting the way she is. It's unfortunate. Yeah, and honestly, I'm not the one—you're a fucking airing it all out right now. That's odd that Karen would green-light you coming on here and fucking doing this. That's kind of odd. Because I love you—notice, but like—kind of yeah, we raised 1.1 million fucking dollars for a little... Here I know—here, I'm here. I'm here. There's still a— **Chris;** there's no because you—still a fucking snake. Yeah, I know. He records people's phone calls. **Aidan:: Let's hear the tape. Let's hear the tape. You're the one making—you guys got nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I just sent the fucking text out. Just say—there you go, buddy. **Aidan:** Okay, so Karen Read is green-lighting this sort of drama? That's what you're saying? **Joe:** I asked her. I said—you asked her? She said yes, go ahead. I said, do you want your side out there? She said, 'sure. You're gonna read it? Sure. I told many people my side. This is my last straw. I would never and have never betrayed him. Meanwhile, he has put me in harm's way in a huge way multiple times.' **Aidan:** I put her—fucking words, okay? Not mine. Yep. Okay. I put Karen Read in harm's way? I went to jail for Karen Read. I don't know if you're familiar. **Chris:** You didn't go to jail for Karen Read, you fuck. **Aidan:** Oh, really? Then what am I on bail for? What is—the full—what's the full? **Chris:** You went to jail for Karen Read? You went to jail because of Lindsey. You went to jail because you're a fucking dick. **Aidan:** Why was I on bail? I think you're a fuck—while you're on bail. I'm saying because—why would I care? Maybe someone in the night— **Chris:** hey, you're full of shit. You're a fucking hell. **Aidan:** What the fuck was I on bail for? **Joe** Because they may know that—if you didn't record it, why are you being so hush-hush about it with everybody? Why would he just tell the people what she was saying since she's lying? What do you mean hush-hush about it? **Aidan** You think I won't talk about what she texted me? But you were hinting at it because I don't want to hear the fucking drama, but apparently she does because she's—you fucking do this because you're recording. Thank you. You're telling me no recording of any fucking phone calls? What's the—what's the fight? So you weren't mocking her the past however long—every time you went on the show saying you owe everything to Karen, all that shit? How is that little white lie? **Aidan:** I owe everything to Karen? What? Why is that little sub-story? You went on two weeks—how is that mocking her? That wasn't in the recording. What recording? There's no fucking recording. **Joe:** I heard it was a 10-minute recording. Does that make sense? **Aidan:** No recording, bro. Let's hear it. You heard it. Let's hear it. **Joe:** Dude, I'm not putting that part out here. **Aidan:** She's talking about her shit. What she's texting you right now—obviously. Who egging this on, isn't she? **Joe:** Who? Okay? Okay, who? Keep playing dumb. Hey—who? **Aidan:** Mm-hmm? Believe it or not—you guys got nothing, right? **Chris;** We got good—from the horse's mouth, mate. I mean, it's not over the horse. Yeah, that's enough for me. I don't need... **Aidan:** Karen's not talking to anyone in the media. **Joe:** If you read the text message, I just reached out to her as a friend—just to reach out and say hope you're doing well. She went into this whole thing about you. **Aidan:** So you reached out—let me get this right—you reached out to her just to say hope you're doing well, and the first thing she did was complain about me? **Joe:** Yes, okay. That says it all. There we go. Where is she? Tired of me? Maybe she's fucking tired of you telling the people bullshit. **Aidan:** What—what—what—what—what bullshit have I told people? That you have no idea why she won't fucking come on your whatever it is. **Aidan:** What do you mean I have no idea why? **Joe:** That's what you've been saying—you don't know what's going on, like you feel a bit sorry for—like the thing with the fucking Howie Carr, dude. That was ridiculous. **Aidan:** What was ridiculous? You're the entire way you handled—I didn't say a word about that. **Chris:** Yes, you did. You deleted the receipt, but let's see—where did I complain about her appearance on Howie Carr? You made a lot of all quiet. Oh, this fuck it. Oh... **Joe:** Wait, but you think we're fucking dumb? Do people are fucking dumb? So where did I—after you deleted it, and then you made a post about deleting it. **Aidan:** What did I say about it? I don't remember. **Chris:** But you don't remember? Yeah, you deleted it, bro. You deleted it. Yeah, remember? You deleted it. And then you made a post about the deleting of the post. Part 2 coming later.

Part One : Straight out the gate... Host: "Do you think we know the full story?" President Trump: "I think we do..." If you're the President of the United States of America, but NOT just any President, the face of the most Biblical, Historical, Monumental Operation known to the Planet... You either know or you don't. THIS is not a post doubting PDJT for all the laggards out there and those who refuse to comprehend the 45 —— 47 all outlined in the Strategic and Special Operation with Irregular and Unconventional Warfare Strategies and Tactics... This is teaching you to read between the lines of what he's actually telling you without saying it as the LAW shows we are still in the 45 ——— 47 operation. PDJT puts LAWS AND ORDERS in ALL CAPS in ALL POSTS for a reason. PDJT then says, "They talked about a certain part of his body literally blew up." 'Literally' isn't "I think we do." 'Blew Up' isn't normal terms talking about things of the heart from anyone much less a President addressing the public... Then he talks about talking to Lindsey about 70% blockage, and says, "Lindsey, you're gonna have to go and take care of that, BUT this was NOT that problem, this was a different problem that wasn't really related." Read that and listen to it again... it's a clear separation. "...BUT this was NOT that problem, this was a different problem that wasn't really related." "He was a great Politician..." We don't need or want Politicians. We want Government Officials who represent "we the people" aka the Governed found in the Declaration of Independence. "To answer the conspiracy theory"...."He had some problems".... "He had some problems that were a little bit deep seeded, not easy to find." One, if you're using terms like 70% blockage in arteries, that's routine and is easy to find by Specialists.... Two, an aortic dissection itself almost always strikes suddenly and without warning, but the underlying conditions that lead to it can absolutely be detected and managed ahead of time.... Again, routine to find for Specialists... And anyone, but especially a "Patriot" who would think the Conspiracy Theory would be Putin taking out Graham... They don't know much ado about dookie doo. July 16, 2018, is the anniversary of Helsinki, Finland, meeting with President Trump and Putin with the Soccer Ball... Tomorrow’s important speech on July 16… THAT was a Capitulation. That meeting was set up by Major General Paul Vallely that you've seen me on podcasts with via Brad Wozny. I've broken down Russia and Ukraine many times with layers and layers of Laws, Orders, Military Strategies and Tactics that have most definitely been applied with visual validations from 2017 to present day. MAGA and Patriots claiming to support a Man, who MUST work with Laws and Orders period, but who backs it with actions all public, and puts in post after post, LAWS AND ORDERS in ALL CAPS... But in turn, turning around and calling this hogwash and bullcrap and choosing to believe what ya' want, is why the U.S.A. has looked the way it has from 2016 and prior... Naturally, the Target Audience, Laggards, Normies, Sleepers, those who have never read a single term from a single sentence from a single paragraph of a single Law and Order currently invoked... They're going to spew all kinds of things because they don't know their own head from a paint chipping manikin at JC Penneys. There's still too many in the comments making fools of yourselves when you haven't read, studied, or comprehended a single thing from January 20, 2017, to present day in which there's OVERWHELMING visuals and actions the support the Military Operation via Laws and Orders... That supports this.... VERSUS your itty bitty teeny weeny tiny minds that hold a flea size fart of an IQ... Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Stop trying to be right or wrong. Start trying to get things right. Start learning the PREVENT a Swamp from growing back.

Disclaimer: Excuse my French. Alright, let's get real. Here’s the side of entrepreneurship no one talks about—the side where you’re grinding, pulling late nights, and thinking, “This is it. I’ve got it.” *cues: we making it out the hood* And then, life throws you an L so hard, it knocks the wind out of you. So here’s mine. A while back, I get this chance to head to Germany. Big deal, right? It was this government-backed program, and I’m thinking, “This is my moment.” I had my eyes set on a meeting with Volkswagen AG—the pinnacle. I was going in, ready to shake hands, drop some big ideas, and maybe walk out with something huge. You know, that moment where you see the future unfolding in front of you. I spent weeks preparing. I researched VW like I was about to sit for the bar exam. I had this vision—a collaboration that was going to be next-level. The kind of thing that could genuinely make a difference, not just for me, but for the industry. I was excited, I was ready, I was... overconfident. The mood was insatiable. So, I walk into this meeting with my pitch, feeling like this was going to be the breakthrough moment. I lay it all out. I’m talking about electric vehicle innovations, partnerships, new ideas. You name it. I gave it everything. But, here’s the twist: they didn’t bite—many weeks after. Instead, they went with an American company—big players with billions to throw around [I asked for a couple of million Euros]. And just like that, I realized I wasn’t leaving Germany with the dream deal I’d envisioned [partially]. Nope. Instead, I was watching a door close right in front of me. And now? Word on the street is they’re shutting down some of their German plants. Irony, right? They took the billions and still missed the mark. But here’s the truth—sometimes you’re just not the one they pick, no matter how good your pitch is or how hard you’ve worked. That was my L. It stung. It still does. But this is the side of entrepreneurship that needs to be shared. Not every story ends in a win. Sometimes you just walk away with a lesson and a bruised ego. But that’s okay. It’s part of the journey. And let me tell you, that loss? It lit a fire under me that’s still burning.

With Y Combinator demo day coming up this weekend, I wanted to reflect on what I learned from YC W14, 10 years on + another company in: 1. The 7 minute espresso rule. Our first meeting with Sam Altman lasted just 7 minutes. The batch hadn’t even officially started yet and my cofounder Ryan Rowe and I drove down from Mountain View to the tiny SF YC outpost to meet him. Sam was making an espresso when we walked in. He opened with – “have you launched”? We said no, too many bugs. Our product Kimono Labs made it easy to just point and click to build a web scraper. Our promise was to get you an API in 60 seconds, without code. But it only worked on a handful of sites at the time. Sam pushed us to launched in 2 weeks. We debated. The espresso finished brewing, he picked it up, looked at us and said, “well, you better get going then and fix those bugs”. We left, launched in 2 weeks and learned one of the most important lessons that day - speed matters. Ship something you’re embarrassed by. 2. There are no experts. Ryan and I were not prepared for the rapid influx of user on launch day. It got tons of traffic on day 1 and we didn’t sleep in the next 48 hours bc servers and database kept crashing. We realized we weren’t the experts and needed to hire one. We went over to Michael Seibel for advice who smiled and told us that in the early days at SocialCam (Twitch) experts thought the streaming video problem was impossible. The answer wasn’t hiring an expert, but hiring someone young, capable and naïve enough to give it an earnest try. So we opted to just figure it out ourselves. 3. Messages in Pizza Boxes. Startups win through incredible customer service, then through product, not the other way around. Seibel told us how SocialCam’s streaming infrastructure went down while a key teammate was unreachable off-grid in a Tahoe cabin for the weekend. Normal people would have waited until Monday. Not Michael. He called a local pizza delivery place and asked the delivery person to send a large pizza with an urgent message in the box to the cabin. Their infrastructure was back up in hours. 4. The Twinkle can matter more than the TAM. Ambition matters just as much as practicality. Before demo day, we were struggling with the end of our pitch. We knew the value of our product, and had a fanatical and fast-growing user base, but the market size we calculated either seemed so ridiculously big that it was not plausible, or so narrow that it was equally silly. Paul Graham and Geoff Ralston sat with us and showed that us that if we can really pull it off at scale, it would be bigger than Google. PG suggested not talking about market size, but just making sure people could see the twinkle in our eyes when we talked about what you might be able to do with a structured copy of the internet that’s larger than Google’s. 5. You’re always at the Origin. Our demo day was successful beyond our wildest beliefs. Afterwards, Geoff drew a chart for us on a whiteboard. It was a hockey stick. He asked us where we thought we were. It was a rhetorical question. He said we were at the origin. Sam doubled down. When he invested in Kimono, he gave us a Zimbabwean Trillion dollar note (the result of extreme hyperinflation in Zimbabwe), as a cautionary reminder that the fundraising and valuation mean nothing. We have channeled this into our culture @TheArenaAI with our ritual around neon shoelaces and a pair of neon track spikes hanging on the wall to remind us that we’re at the Olympic starting line, but we don’t have any medals yet. 6. High bandwidth discussions with users don’t happen over email. The “Collison installation” is part of YC lore. John Collison told us that talking to users live was essential because email and chat conversations were just not enough. We did 100s of Skype conversations with Kimono users + one power user Alex Chung, who I met this way, has become a close friend and even attended my wedding in India last year!

Bill Clinton Isn’t Just Involved In Raping Underage Children With Jeffrey Epstein On Epstein Island Interview Claiming Bill Clinton Involved In Murder, International Crack Cocaine Trafficking Alongside The CIA “Bill’s nose is like a vacuum cleaner in that cocaine pile” “Owes you fifty thousand dollars every time my wheels land. What are you talking about? He says, I can't get caught in Mena, Arkansas. And later on whenever I would, so he was working with, he had CIA connections, I don't know where he'd flown with, and also Bill Clinton was the government man or the governor. ‌ So I ain't seen nothing more about that. I hear that they call it Arkansas up there instead of Homicide. And plus, I don't know anything. I never met those gentlemen. I didn't fool with it. That was Barry's end of the story. But anybody wants to look, just read about what happened in MENA Arkansas. And that movie that they made that they called America Made was written as MENA. And when Hillary was running for president the Democratic Party stopped it, and even the director quit. And they changed part of the script, and they changed the name to America Made. The whole thing's about me and Arkansas and Bill Clinton and a couple of boys that got killed on a railroad track and put up there by the sheriff to get chopped up. And there's some stories there. They got Clinton'd. They claim it is him. ‌ I'm glad I didn't meet him. Looked like he was on a plane somewhere that he shouldn't have been here recently, too. Yep. He's got a couple paintings down there, too, from what I hear. Yeah. His brother, Roger, got caught with cocaine, and he pardoned him, but he didn't pardon me. And Roger Clinton says that Bill's nose is like a vacuum cleaner in that cocaine pile. ‌ But he didn't inhale. That's just a good point. That's, yeah, hey, you know. Presidents are just such fine people sometimes. They are some very trustworthy individuals, aren't they? They'll put you in prison. He went in and he raised the penalty for crack cocaine 100 times. They just say, just political prostitutes is all they are. Yeah. That's the word for them. I'm on, I like that. I'm going to use that. ‌ So Barry was tied in with the Clintons, the CIA, and he had free rein to land wherever he wants. He's not gonna get caught in Arkansas. Absolutely. So it was a little far to go up to Mena, so I talked to Escobar and him, and they said, well, that's no problem. So I landed there myself to do a load, and they put a fella named Benjamin Ben in the plane with me, and we went up to a landing strip there in Nicaragua. And I met the generals and all that. They said, land right here. Just come in, don't say a thing on the radio. Just land anytime you want to. And we'll refuel you and you get food, whatever you want. We'll wash you when children, you'll be on your way. So. How do you make these connections? I didn't make them in Ocho and Escobar. — I think they had used him over in Southeast Asia. It was a CIA conversion of some kind of a Piper plane. It was a CIA conversion and he had access? Right, they had made it and that's what they was flying over out of Burma and Vietnam behind the lines over there. They were real quiet. They put big, heavy, wide blade propellers on them and put Q-tips and you couldn't hear the propeller noise. No kidding. So they were I bought, I think, seven of them. It was $400,000 a piece. So were these open market? Yeah. You could buy them.” I can’t transcribe it all due to X’s text limits but this is an excellent listen!

Bitch, I do not play about eighth grade star aka opinions based girl….. yeah everybody’s laughing now, but it literally does not take away the fact that you are so fucking ugly like I had his ass blocked on my old account before I even saw this because every time he pops up on my for you page I just have to scroll because he’s so fucking ugly that it pisses me off he looks like he could be casted on Netflix and not in a good way. He seriously needs to find a new haircut because what the fuck is that middle part? and of course he’s a Nepo baby, and the best part is I just found out that he used to be fat, I bet he’s an anorexic asf lowkey all shade and that’s the only way his pathetic ass could lose weight and I know he didn’t use laxatives cause he’s definitely a bottom, the type that one bitch from White Lotus would say as a fem and NOT a butch. You can tell he wants to be Matthew from big mouth but he’s more of a Charlie from heartstopper, you can also tell that he’s never got his ass beat, well maybe once in middle school and then his white ass republican parents freaked the fuck out and got the kid suspended or some shit. Of course he’s obsessed with Diet Coke, he’s so obviously wants to be a white woman that it is embarrassing. Middle schoolers definitely go up to him and be like “oh my God you’re famous on TikTok” and he thinks he’s the shit but the rest of the population don’t give a fuck and the way his mom is a teacher…… I know that she probably yells at the fucking class for everything but really she’s just taking it out on these kids because she knows deep down that she wishes her son was like them instead of a fucking loser who makes strawberry bagels on TikTok not to mention everybody praised him for doing angel tree, bitch that’s nothing he probably just used some of his allowance money to look like a good person so y’all bitches would suck his dick. Omg in all of his fucking videos he tries to sound cute with that feminine ass voice and it gives me a secondhand embarrassment down. he thinks he’s Troye Sivan, but he will never admit that he probably listens to fucking country music and Taylor Swift so he can fit in with all of his Christian girl friends and that’s it. You can tell he peaked in high school. He was definitely the “token gay” and the homophobic straight boys loved him because he was “funny“ but it was all surface level, TikTok humor that seems funny to them. of course he reposted something about drinking on antidepressants. Just because you had a white claw and some lexapro(which explains why he used to be fat as fuck) doesn’t make you whatever a fucking vibe you’re trying to go for. He looks like he jerks off to the Lululemon maternity catalog while pretending he’s Harry Styles. I saw on TikTok that he has a girlfriend and I can’t tell if it’s just for attention or if he’s actually still dl so that his parents don’t freak the fuck out on him and he has to get a real job. This one girl posted him on TikTok, shaking his hips and drinking wine…… like who do you think you fucking are bro? like genuinely who the fuck do you think you are?🔑 he also reposted a TikTok about Lorde “looking a mess” I really don’t give a fuck if it was a joke. You have no place to be talking about somebody’s looks when he looks like that……. and y’all know what I mean, the type of guy who fucks all the dl in the room because he has zero confidence. The type of guy who has all the latest Apple products for no reason. I mean seriously he looks like he eats fucking rocks. Apparently he caused a lot of drama on TikTok (of course) and blamed his OCD like what kind of dumb ass excuse is that but then again he probably asked his mom what to say and then she sent him a script and he went with it. Somebody keeps on copying his videos and it’s pissing him off. I think it’s so hilarious…… you realize you’re just another copy and paste of every other wanna be “ influencer”. Don’t ever try coming for eighth grade start again.🔑🔑

Samuel L. Jackson explains how he landed the role of Jules in Pulp Fiction, and what it was like seeing the film for the first time on the big screen: “Pulp Fiction and I came together in a very strange kind of way. I remember auditioning for Quentin for Reservoir Dogs in New York (for the role of of Detective Jim Holdaway, Mr. Orange’s police contact). And apparently I didn't get that role. But I was at Sundance the year that he screened it for the first time. I was sitting there and I watched that movie - I was awed by it. I mean, there were people running up the aisles when Michael Madsen was cutting the cop's ear off. People were going, "Oh my God, this is horrible!" All these “auteurs” were running out of the theatre. I was like, "This is good. This is happening. This is different." So after the film, I walked up to Quentin and said, "This film's amazing, man. It's great." And he looked at me and said, "Hey! How'd you like the guy who got your part?" And I was amazed that he even remembered who I was - but he remembered me. A year or so later, I got a phone call saying Quentin Tarantino wants to have dinner with you, because he'd seen Jungle Fever and he liked that Gator character. When we had dinner, we were sitting there talking. We started talking about Hong Kong films and cartoons and foreign movies and obscure things that we watched, horror movies. We found out we liked the same kind of stuff. And he told me he was writing this thing, and he was writing this part with me in mind. He was going to send it to me. I went off to do another film. I was in the backwoods of Virginia somewhere doing a film, and the script came. A little plain brown wrapper from Jersey Films. And Jersey's got these gangster images on the logo. And it said, "If you show this script to anybody, two guys named Ernie and Luigi will come and break both of your legs." Whatever. I went, "Yeah, right." So I sat down and read it. Boom. I read this thing. It's like, "Oh my God. This is awesome." And then I said to myself, "Nobody writes a script this good. There's no way that this script is as good as I thought it was." I closed it. I opened it again. I read it immediately. Okay. This is great - If whoever produces this film lets him shoot exactly what I just read, if they stay away from it, they don't try to edit any of this stuff out - this is going to be a great film. It's going to be kind of audience-specific, because I like that kind of stuff. I have friends that I knew would like it. It was a generational kind of film. I never thought it would cross over and do all this stuff. We shot it. We had a great time doing it. And the first time I actually saw the film was at the Cannes Film Festival. That night, it screened, and I was sitting there watching the film. The audience was loving this movie, loving it. About halfway through, I realized there were subtitles at the bottom of it. So I said, "Hey, these people are reading it, and they're getting it. This might be special. This really might be something special." And actually, by the time it was over, there were tears running down my face. I was just so pleased that I was part of that particular film… I never felt that satisfied, and that kind of full about a performance and about being part of something as I was in that particular moment.” Quote comes from an Interview with the American Film Institute 2010

.The Daily Signal’s Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell: “Mr. President, are you encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be more involved in the Iran operation?” President Trump “Say it.” Trump: “Are you encouraging our allies in the Gulf to be more involved in the Iran operation?” Trump: “Yeah, I mean, a little bit, but more — more NATO. I think our Gulf allies have been pretty good, to be honest with you. UAE has been hit so hard. I think they got hit by 1,400 rockets, shot them all out of the air with our great — with our great Patriot missiles. Think of it. They shot 100 missiles at one of our aircraft carriers, the Abraham Lincoln, one of the biggest ships in the world, actually. And out of 101 missiles shot, every single one of them was knocked down in the sea. Think of that. Think of what that means. 101 missiles. Highly sophisticated, very fast missile shot — out of 101, all 101 were shot down. And now, for the most part, lie at the bottom of the sea. Pretty amazing, right? Pretty amazing. Our military is amazing. Pete, you know the attack I’m talking about recently, 101 shot. I said, wow, I saw that. You can see we have sort of pretty good equipment that we see. It’s called the red line. Those red lines were thick, right? I said, that’s a lot. And then we saw them one by one, just get shot. And these guys who do the shooting, the coolest cucumbers ever, you know, most people, you don’t have a lot of time when a missile is going at 2,500 miles an hour, I don’t care how far away it is. You don’t have a lot of time. But I watched them — I watched them sit down and think. Great students. MIT’s a lot of — MIT’s a lot of guys like this, and not as much into the muscle as they are this one right here and amazing to watch them perform under great pressure because they have a matter of seconds to do it. If they don’t do it properly, it’s a big problem, you know, because these were powerful — these were very powerful missiles coming. And so, a lot of people choke. They don’t choke. These guys don’t choke. They’re the best in the world. We have the best in the world.”

Did GM Get Taken for a Ride? The million-dollar masterpiece hanging in the new world headquarters was spray-painted, former employees allege By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff General Motors is the victim of what is possibly the largest art heist in Detroit history. Embarrassed executives have been silent about the alleged fraud. Now they’ve got some explaining to do to shareholders. At issue: the massive sculpture hanging in the atrium of GM’s new world headquarters downtown in the Hudson’s Building. Nicknamed “Sunlit Straw,” the untitled steel and bronze behemoth was created in 1970 by Harry Bertoia, the postmodern Monet of Motown. The sculpture originally hung in Flint’s Genesee Valley Mall until 1980 when it was moved into the basement of Northland Mall for temporary storage. Time went by, and the masterpiece was forgotten until the city of Southfield discovered it during demolition of the Northland mall. It was covered in crud and corrosion and some of the steel bits were broken off. The city sent the piece to Flatlanders—a Michigan company that specializes in art rehabilitation. As glowing newspaper accounts told it last fall, “Sunlit Straw” was in the midst of a meticulous restoration when GM stepped in and purchased the piece from the city of Southfield for a cool million dollars. That’s when the alleged dirt got done. Instead of gently cleaning the massive metal mobile with toothpicks and soft cloths, the owner had it spray painted, his former workers claim. “It is still really hard to stomach,” Randy Gilson, a former employee at Flatlanders, told me. He also chronicled the desecration in a sworn affidavit. “It’s like putting a crayon on the Mona Lisa. And now it’s pretty much worthless.” Matt McKeen, another former Flatlanders employee, also signed a sworn affidavit with accompanying photographs of paint cans and broken bits of steel bar. “The owner didn’t have the manpower. So he said, ‘It’ll be hanging 11 floors up. Fuck it. Let’s just spray paint it,’” McKeen told me. “It was quite convincing, too. I feel bad about it, but I’ve got kids to feed and shit to do.” It was so convincing in fact that GM’s phalanx of executives and art experts didn’t notice that the bronze patina may have been counterfeit. They didn’t notice it during the “restoration” process and they didn’t notice it when they unzipped the side of the skyscraper to hoist the whale into place. When reached by telephone, Ken Thompson, founder and owner of Flatlander’s flat-out denied the forgery accusations. “Who you talking to?” Thompson wanted to know. “I wouldn’t believe a word they say. Randy and Matt have an axe to grind. They both owe me money. I’ve turned them over to a collection agency. If I don’t get that, I’m going to take them to court.” “That’s all very interesting,” I said. “But what about the spray paint?” “GM was on board with everything I did,” said Thompson. “They had a hundred executives come through. No one said a word. Have you checked with Celia Bertoia?” I checked with Celia Bertoia, director of the Harry Bertoia foundation, to inquire about the claims that her father’s legacy had been graffitied. “I can’t talk about that,” Bertoia said cryptically. “You’ll have to call GM.” It was a strange reply considering the June email she sent to McKeen. “The owners were glad to know, although not glad about the whole thing,” Bertoia wrote. “At this time, they are not ready to take any action as it would involve a lot of expense and be somewhat humiliating. Perhaps in this case, what the public doesn’t know won’t hurt them.” A spokesman for General Motors confirmed that the company is aware the Bertoia masterpiece has been mangled and manhandled. The company is considering its next steps. When informed of this, Ken Thompson the conservator, had an epiphany: “Yes it was sprayed,” Thompson said. “But was it spray-painted? No. It was a high-gloss amber lacquer. It was so rusted that we had to basically disguise the rust. Nobody had a problem with it. It didn’t do anything to harm it’s value. “I mean, what’s the big deal here?”

‼️TODAY IN TRENTON Another day, another torrid love affair between an unconstitutional bill & the Majority party. We've already stepped into this ring and gotten jabbed in the face. Now, the Majority's big idea is to climb back through the ropes & demand a rematch with your money. Seriously??? Federal immigration detention authority has been the law for nearly THREE DECADES. An inconvenient truth: President Bill Clinton (not President Donald J. Trump DJT) signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. GOP, Dems, and the courts alike have enforced & upheld it. Thirty years should be enough time for the sponsor to grasp the concept. But not in Trenton! When the progressive herd couldn't block immigration detention in court, they now try this. Only one wee little problem: WE CAN'T LEGALLY OBSTRUCT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY TAXING ITS CONTRACTOR INTO OBLIVION. So how exactly does NJ get around federal law, the CoreCivic decision, and that pesky Supremacy Clause? Short answer: WE DON'T. And get this: the bill designates a "Detention and Deportation Defense Initiative Support Fund" designed to bankroll legal services tied to detention & deportation proceedings. Their plan is to tax detention & then use the proceeds... to fight detention. To make matters worse, the bill sponsor never answered the constitutional question because there is no answer. Instead, we got a rambling word salad of grievances, feelings, and unrelated talking points that ignored the law. At this point, I'm not convinced the sponsor read her own bill, or maybe she's hoping to find a judge willing to ignore the Constitution so this steaming pile can limp across the finish line. How much of your money was spent paying lawyers to defend the last losing argument? Apparently, losing wasn't expensive enough the first time. Trenton's biggest obstacle isn't the private contractor. It's the Constitution. NJ Assembly GOP NJ Assembly Democrats Governor Mikie Sherrill Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin Thomas D. Homan

Everything you've heard people like Marc Lamont Hill say Pac didn't do is false. The man has the deepest literary device bag ever and he employed each of them well. These breakdowns only show a glimpse of how deep his literary device bag was. Sidenote: Joe Budden isn't a true Pac fan. *We clock figures "If I had a bigger dick or a dime for every time Muthafuckas took a bit of the lines from in my rhymes, I'd be richer than a bitch with a trick with big pockets, (Simile, hyperbole) equipped with a dick that's so thick, it fits sockets". (Hyperbole, metaphor) 2Pac loved implied metaphors. Here, he metaphorically compared his phallus to something large enough to fit into a socket, such as a large impact socket, exaggerating size for comedic and rhetorical effect. "If I had a dime for every time", is an idiom (Used to indicate a very frequent occurrence of something happening. Usually used in conjunction with some expression that one would be rich as a result of receiving money for all such instances -Farlex Dictionary of Idioms) You can follow the idiom with a multitude of different things, and he chose to follow it up with the number of times others have took a bit of the lines from his rhymes. He is obviously referring to other emcees biting his rhymes here. He layered an additional hypothetical onto the idiom, creating two parallel, alternative hypotheticals. Each hypothetical leads to a different exaggerated outcome; one financial and one physical (penis growth). He pairs the idiom with a second, independent hyperbolic premise, stacking the hypotheticals and juxtaposing their exaggerations. This parallel hyperbolic scenario intensifies both the exaggeration and the comedic effect. It also makes the hypothetical scenario even more non-literal and impossible. This is why he made sure the following lines did not just include a hyperbolic simile about the amount of money he would receive from every instance. He made sure the lines also included a "vulgar" hyperbolic metaphor about how large his penis would grow from every instance as well. It's figurative and impossible. The hyperbolic simile and metaphor helped drive his point home. The lines are placed right next to each other for a reason. Great word selection and placement. "Please don't misinterpret what I say to be dirty." The lines before this one could easily be considered dirty," and he is sarcastically pleading for the listeners to not view the lines in that way. This is his way of letting listeners know the previous lines were figurative and were not meant to be taken literally. Basically, he is saying to think beyond the surface and do not have your mind completely in the gutter. It is also a disclaimer for the sexual innuendos that come next. "Muthafuckas want to jerk me, so they irk me how they work me". Multiple things he mentioned here could all have sexual meanings. The disclaimer is there to let listeners know to not interpret it as him saying that, "muthafuckas" want to literally jerk and work him in a sexual way. It is very clever and humorous wordplay. Listen to his adlib right after he says "work me". He chuckled because of the puns he used; specifically the one he had just finished using. Everything here is connected, and it was all by design. He set the scheme up at the very beginning of the verse and ended it after the work me line. The whole third verse is pretty much figurative. With Pac, you always have to pay attention to how he worded things and the placement of those words. He simultaneously sandwiched his rhymes in the lyrics included in my breakdown. He did this by rhyming internally and externally. He rhymed internally multiple times here, and even more so if you count the near and partial rhymes. He even added a multi in there (pockets, sockets). The assonance and consonance can't be ignored either. Pay close attention to what Makaveli said after: "My history so thoroughly involves destruction, niggaz left with their ass bleeding, lyrical fucking". "Open up first to bust, let me see your heart, turn the lights down, cause I might clown in the dark" Is a play off the lyrical fucking bar. Peep his choice of words. They're all sex related. He's speaking figuratively. He used puns. Hence, "open up, first to bust and "Turn the lights down, 'cause I might clown in the dark" are part of it as well. He's referring to sex in the dark but figuratively. It's all figurative, clever wordplay. Word Class Wreckin Cru also has a song called Turn Off the lights. Hence turn the lights down. Dre was apart of that group. He dissed Dre by name in this song. Also, peep his choice of words here. There's an obvious correlation between see, light, and dark. Makaveli juxtaposed those words, using 'light' and 'dark' specifically to create an antithesis. 'Makaveli rise, all you niggaz die when I come I do some fly shit and be done'. The words rise and fly are both related to flight. Very subtle. Lastly, he used internal and external rhymes, both with and without using multisyllabic rhymes. "Murdered my friends, built a new posse, we taking shots at paparazzi go and fly now, nigga like Rocky". "Murdered my friends, built a new posse", is not directed at Stretch. The friends he's referring to are the members in the Thug Life group. (Macadoshis, The Rated R). The Outlawz are the new posse he's referring to. He's also alluding to what his character Bishop did in Juice. Xzibit has a song called paparazzi. "We taking shots at paparazzi" was directed at him. Makaveli referred to him as paparazzi instead of his name. Although Makaveli didn't explicitly say his name, he sent a clear subliminal shot at Xzibit. Makaveli felt that Xzibit took subliminal shots at him in his song, 'Paparazzi'. "Forgive me, I'm a rider, still I'm just a simple man All I want is money, plus the fame, I'm a simple man. - Makaveli (Radio Edit of How Do U Want it) Here's what Xzibit said in his song Paparazzi. "I don’t believe the hype or buy wolf tickets Nigga, you make a gang of noise and never seen, like a cricket I guess that’s why we never kick it A lot of niggas is soft and get tossed, tryna fuck with the Likwit How many niggas do you know like this? Always claimin' that they ridin', but they really turned bitch It don’t make sense, either you’re a soldier from the start Or an actor with a record deal tryna play the part—like that! It’s a shame, niggas in the rap game Only for the money and the fame Edi dissed Xzibit in Bomb First (My Second Reply) but Makaveli dissed him himself this time. This is also directed at the actual paparazzi. 2Pac wasn't fond of them. The Paparazzi are freelance photographers who pursue celebrities to take photographs (shots) of them. Hence, taking shots at paparazzi. Get it? "Go and fly now, nigga like Rocky", is a reference to the "Gonna Fly Now" theme song (performed by DeEtta Little, Nelson Pigford, and Shelby Conti) from the movie Rocky. ""It’s like he’s standing up there jumping around; it's like he's gonna fly." - John Avildsen (Rocky Director) He was also referring to Rocky from the TV show, "Rocky and His Friends". This is why he said "Murdered my friends". Rocky was a flying squirrel in the TV show and this is why he said, "Go and fly now, nigga like Rocky". Makaveli was able to do all of this in just three lines. He got his point across without any wasted lyrics. The lyrics have purpose. He's lyrically efficient here. The way he set up the Rocky simile allowed him to kill two birds with one stone. The wording ('murdered my friends, go and fly now') provided listeners and readers with just enough hints to connect the dots between the lyrics and the TV show, Rocky and His Friends, while still referencing the theme song from the Rocky movie. "Baby .45 but she's still live, one shot make a nigga'z heartbeat stop.” He’s metaphorically talking about a .45 caliber gun being his girlfriend; this is obviously wordplay. That's just not the only layer to it. This is a part of the time motif he employed because anything that happens in real-time is “live.” He also juxtaposed “baby” and “.45” to create an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a combination of contradictory or incongruous words, and that’s exactly what “baby” and “.45” are here. A literal baby cannot be 45 years old. This isn’t just figurative because he’s metaphorically talking about a .45 caliber gun; it’s also figurative because of the oxymoron. He also juxtaposed “live” and “make a nigga'z heartbeat stop” to create an antithesis. The word “live” means to have life, while “make a nigga'z heartbeat stop” refers to death. He said “she’s still live” to also create a paradox. 45-year-old women aren’t generally associated with vitality, but despite her being 45, she’s still full of life. All of this is placed in a single line by design. “One shot, make a nigga'z heartbeat stop.” He’s not just talking about his .45 caliber gun (metaphorical girlfriend) being able to end someone’s life with one shot. He’s also saying she has the power to leave a man figuratively breathless. One opportunity or chance (“one shot”) with this woman could figuratively take a man’s breath away and leave him in shock. She has the power to make a man’s heart figuratively stop because of the “caliber” of woman she is. One shot with her can have this effect because she’s that mind-blowing and breathtaking, pun intended.

"There's something called a break glass moment. We are way past that with this new civil complaint from Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara. Watch who now goes away. Watch who now starts openly railing on Karen Read and Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney (which is the most obvious tell that they were stoolies). If anyone just disappears they are the 'last of the stoolies.' It's almost over. We are right at the end. Last night, the powers that be would have had to tell these people, 'listen, if you stay, and keep running this operation, if you are still involved with us, you're going down with us. We're all going down at this point, so you need to get off now or you're going down with us.' And, frankly, they can't bring most of these people down with them. They are liabilities." "Now, listen, the big tells that people were part of this operation targeting Aidan or Karen are thus: they were at one point pro-Aidan or pro-Karen (or some combination of the two), but now have the opposite position. Second, they linked up Karen and Aidan under false pretenses. Thirdly, they stole information in an attempt to hurt Aidan or Karen (or both). Fourthly, they leave the state when stuff goes bad. Fifthly, they have some connection to Florida, or people in Florida or Sean On The Gulf. Look at everyone who Sean was talking to in and around July of 2023, those are your moles."- Towel I dropped some gems yesterday, apparently. Here are some important quotes: "You run that kind of blackmail operation anywhere in the orbit of something I'm covering, and you're going to find out a lot more is going to come out about you than you intended to expose about your target. Also, these tactics are disgusting. Either be good, or be good at it." "Do you understand, the fact that intelligence community tactics popped up around Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney and Karen Read --with them being the target of those tactics-- should tell you all you need to know. It's because this blackmail network thought they were going to go down, and they thought either Karen, or Aidan, was going to expose them. It turns out that it was a lot of people that brought them down." "If they can't get you intro a compromising situation sexually, or fiscally, or with drugs, then they'll fake it. They'll create a Truman Show-style alterative reality game (ARG) and put people in your life until you do something stupid. And you won't even realize it because they prey on people's better nature. And, worse, they prey on people's hearts. If I see you one run operative on the basis of fake emotional manipulation, I'll get ya' juridically. I'll get ya' and I'll drag you in front of the entire world. I'll have you dragged in front of Congress and you can answer questions for the American public about why you think it's appropriate to treat human lives, and human hearts, as a job." "And then you can answer to the American public why you --whether for private, public or otherwise purposes-- were abusing the psychological state of my fellow citizens to advance your blackmail ops. It ends now." "It is very likely that some of these people are private intelligence operatives. Not public intelligence operatives. What we are talking about here are NOC's. That means non-official cover. A private NOC would be a private intelligence operative, with a fake job, actually going around and getting information for the purposes of whoever has hired them for that job." "Academics are often NOC's, financial traders are often NOC's, journalists are often NOC's. Okay? This is a traditional intelligence community tactic that get's what's called laundered, or sheep dipped, into the private intelligence world." "Now, to sheep dip and asset would be to say, for example, you were a local cop in Boston, or a state cop in Massachusetts, or a federal agent, and you had an informant network that were either NOC's or people you were blackmailing to force them to be your informant (bringing them into family court, or humiliating them, or charging them with crimes, whatever). Let's say you had that informant network that went back years, and let's say as a result of that network existing, let's say you opened a private intelligence firm. You would then what's called "sheep dip" the informants. You would take all these informants that you had from your time as, for example, a Boston cop or a state cop, maybe in Medford, Somerville, Attleboro, whatever...you would take your informant network and sheep dip them into private intelligence informants. What that means is that you have to give them cover. And, you know, lot's of people run private intelligence firms that might know about this kind of thing...Marty Kraft, Brian Albert....even a federal agent like Brian Higgins would probably know about sheep dipping informants like this. So, anyway, you would sheep dip your informants and then would run them." "The classic way you would run something like this is called COINTELPRO. And that, by the book, would involve disrupting, disorganizing and destroying social movements. Although COINTELPRO is incredibly illegal, it was originally designed to break up militant domestic political movements that were a threat to the existing social, political and civic order in the mid 20th century. If you want to break these guys up, you run COINTELPRO on them. Disrupt, disorganize, destroy. You get inside their movements with informants, you psychologically manipulate them through conditioned public narrative, you use the press to alienate their standing in the public discourse, and then you nail on them. You choke their entire structure until they cannot function and then you, ideally, if you want to take them over, you repurpose the movement for your own purposes. Or you could just destroy them and scatter the movement in a million little pieces to the wind, depending on what you need the operation to accomplish." "That's what they did to the Free Karen Read movement. That's what they did to Aidan Kearney's movement. That's why you got to have good operational security if you're Aidan or Karen. You gotta' do background checks. Take no one at face value and, also, assume that people moving to get close to you are moles. Give them nothing. "Trust but verify" is not just a phrase that Ronald Reagan used, and that I rehashed (and that Kate Peter stole to try to look erudite because she's worthless, and couldn't be me on her best day). Okay? It's an actual operational security tactic designed to confirm that the people around you are not double agents." "That's what's really going on here. We have sheep dipped informants, who were brought over to the private intelligence world (either via blackmail, or being paid off, whatever), and they've been working for years in what's called deep-cover roles where they are acting. The personas that they have out there are fake. And then they get close to Karen, or Aidan, or both, and they have roles. They are actually working. And then they're either trying to sow confusing, distract people from Proctorgate, distract people from the Sandra Birchmore coverup, divide, as I said, Aidan and Karen's movements, expose Karen and Aidan to civil and criminal liability, threaten them with bail revocations. It's kind of like these pressure tactics --they are very dirty, they are unfair, they are constitutionally impermissible-- in order to pressure people psychologically. It's called a control drama." "By the way, a lot of these men and women (who participated in those private intelligence operations targeting Aidan and Karen) are about to fall. There's only a few left. There's maybe 3-5 long cover moles left. Last week there were 10. Now it's down to 3-5. The funding must be gone, because the people who were bailing were in there for years. Somebody must have pulled the money out. Somebody got a little but concerned, clearly, that this operation is gonna' get blown." "Now, the people involved are kind of just left dealing with the fallout. The paymasters did not help the on-the-ground operatives. And the people involved should have known better. If you're an intelligence asset, and it goes back, it's called plausible deniability. They don't know you, they never met you, and you don't know them. These people are left in the dust right now. I can tell. They literally abandoned them, which is the worst position to be in as an intel asset, because you were only able to move the way you did because of your institutional protection. Now you got nothin'." "Professional intelligence operatives have loyalty to country. They say loyal, and you will never find out what they're doing, because they love this country. Private intelligence operatives are like mercenaries. They'll chase the money, and they have no loyalty to anyone. In fact, do you know the four things you look for when recruiting an intelligence asset? Tell me if this rings any bells; Mental instability, disaffected former employee, drive for money and ideology. Checking any boxes for anyone?" "There's something called a break glass moment. We are way past that with this new civil complaint from Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara. Watch who now goes away. Watch who now starts openly railing on Karen Read and Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney (which is the most obvious tell that they were stoolies). If anyone just disappears they are the 'last of the stoolies.'

Fifthly, they have some connection to Florida, or people in Florida or Sean On The Gulf. Look at everyone who Sean was talking to in and around July of 2023, those are your moles." "I don't know what Karen Read and John O'Keefe were on to in Canton in 2021 entirely, but I know John O'Keefe was most certainly on to distribution of narcotics in Canton and John was a member of an undercover Boston Police unit that did stings related to abuse of children. So, you know, don't underestimate Karen Read. Real G's move in silence. She's got stones and street smarts. And I sense she wants to start a foundation to expose vulnerable people being abuse by intermeshed, systemic, police, prosecutorial and juridical corruption. She's ever said anything to me, but that's what I sense she's going for. She's fascinating."

In honor of Y Combinator's 20th anniversary, here are my 6 favorite lessons: 1. The 7 minute espresso rule: Our first meeting with Sam Altman lasted just seven minutes. The batch hadn’t even officially started yet and my cofounder Ryan Rowe and I drove down from Mountain View to the tiny SF YC outpost to meet him. Sam was making an espresso when we walked in. He opened with – “have you launched”? We said no, too many bugs. Our product, kimono, made it easy to just point and click to build a web scraper. Our promise was to get you an API in 60 seconds, without writing a single line of code. But, the web is vast, and websites are very different. We needed it to work on a large enough spectrum of sites so that our first users would have a good experience. It worked on just a handful of sites at the time. Sam pushed us to make sure we were launched in less than 2 weeks. We debated, highlighting the complexity of the bugs and the limits of underlying headless browsing technology. The espresso finished brewing, he picked it up, looked at us and said, “well, you better get going then and fix those bugs”. We left, launched within those next two weeks and learned one of the most important lessons that day - speed matters. Ship something you’re embarrassed by. 2. There are no experts. Ryan and I were not prepared for the rapid influx of user on launch day. We did 88 user interviews to validate our product idea, and everyone basically said they wouldn’t use it. We thought they were wrong and built it anyway. It got tons of traffic on day 1. We didn’t sleep in the 48 hours following because our servers and database kept crashing. We hadn’t indexed it properly. We realized we weren’t the experts and needed to hire one. We went over to Michael Seibel's apartment for advice. Michael smiled and told us about the early days at SocialCam, that eventually became Twitch – experts thought the streaming video problem was too hard to be possible. The answer wasn’t hiring an expert, but hiring someone young, capable and naïve enough to give it an earnest try. So we opted to just figure it out ourselves. 3. Messages in Pizza Boxes. Startups win through incredible customer service, then through product, not the other way around. Michael Seibel told us how SocialCam’s streaming infrastructure went down while a key teammate was unreachable off-grid in a Tahoe cabin for the weekend. Normal people would have waited until Monday. Not Michael. He called a local pizza delivery place and asked the delivery person to send a large pizza with an urgent message in the box to the cabin. Their infrastructure was back up in hours. 4. The Twinkle can matter more than the TAM. Ambition matters just as much as practicality. Before demo day, we were struggling with the end note of our pitch. We knew the value of our product, and had a fanatical and fast-growing user base, but the market size we calculated either seemed so ridiculously big that it was not plausible, or so narrow that it was equally silly. Paul Graham and Geoff Ralston sat with us and showed us that if we can really pull it off at scale, it would be bigger than Google. So, we could skip the market size, if we really believed it. PG suggested not talking about market size, but just making sure people could see the twinkle in our eyes when we talked about what you might be able to do with a structured copy of the internet that’s larger than Google’s. 5. You’re always at the Origin. Our demo day was successful beyond our wildest beliefs. Afterwards, Geoff Ralston drew a chart for us on a whiteboard. It was a hockey stick. He asked us where we thought we were. It was a rhetorical question. He said we were at the origin, and that the most important thing is to remember that. Sam Altman doubled down. When he invested in Kimono, he gave us a Zimbabwean Trillion dollar note (the result of extreme hyperinflation in Zimbabwe), as a cautionary reminder that the fundraising and valuation mean nothing. We have channeled this into our culture at @TheArenaAI with our ritual around neon shoelaces and a pair of neon track spikes hanging on the wall to remind us that we’re at the Olympic starting line, but we don’t have any medals yet. 6. High bandwidth discussions with users don’t happen over email. The Collison brothers, who founded Stripe, took user engagement to the next level – so much so that “Collison installation” is part of YC lore. John Collison told us that talking to users was essential because email and chat conversations were not “high bandwidth” enough. He emphasized the importance of what you can learn being with users in person or talking to them over Skype (remember, this was early 2014!). We took this to heart, and spoke to hundreds of users at Kimono regularly over Skype. One power user Alexander Chung, who I met this way, has become a close friend and even attended my wedding in India. At Arena, we now go a step further and regularly fly to our users. We over-invest to a degree that is almost crazy in order to be more than a supplier — a true partner to our early customers. YC taught us it’s the only way to understand their problems on the ground and really make sure our products work for them. YC taught us to outsource very little. Own the problem. Own the outcome. And if you do, you get to be stupidly ambitious. If you’re curious about Kimono Labs (which we later sold to Palantir ), here was our launch demo. No-code web scraping before “no code” was even a term: Here's our demo day pitch, from 2014. Forever grateful to those above + Garry Tan Jessica Livingston Trevor Blackwell

Wow. Classic Jensen style, he ended the Nvidia vs. custom ASIC competition for good. 🫡 The level of confidence with which he explains. 🎯 He was answering to UBS research analyst question on how custom ASICs will affect NVIDIA or how they are going to compete with custom ASIC. Basically he says - Your custom chip is a science project in a world where NVIDIA is building revenue-generating AI factories. While the competition is still desperately trying to copy Nvidia's last generation, their roadmap is already at the limits of physics. They don't just sell silicon; they deliver the entire, impossibly complex platform that the industry has already surrendered to and standardized on. When you must bet hundreds of billions on your company's future, there is no alternative—they are the only platform to build on, and everyone knows it. Full transcript below. Question by the Analyst - "Jensen, I wanted to ask about customer ASIC. And I ask because if, you know, we listen to some of the same CSPs that you put up on that slide, and we listen to some of the companies who are making custom ASICs, some of the deployment numbers sound pretty big. So, I wanted to just hear your position, how you're going to compete with custom ASICs, how they can possibly compete with you, and maybe how some of your conversations with these same customers would sort of form your view in terms of how competitive custom ASIC will be to you." Jensen's response "First of all, just because something gets built doesn't mean it's great. Number two, if it's not great, all of those companies are run by great CEOs who are really good at math. And because these are AI factories, it affects your revenues, not just your costs. It affects your revenues, not just your cost. It's a different calculus. Every company only has so much power. You just have to ask them. Every single company only has so much power, and within that power, you have to maximize your revenues, not just your cost. So this is a new game. This is not a data center game, this is an AI factory game. So when the time comes, that simple calculus, as I was using yesterday, that simple math that I was showing yesterday, still has to be done. Which is the reason why so many projects are started and so many are not taken into production. Because there's always another alternative. We are the other alternative, and that alternative is excellent. Not normal excellent, as you know. Everybody's still trying to catch up to Hopper. I haven't seen a competitor to Hopper yet. And here we're talking about 40x more. And so our roadmap is at the limits of what's possible. Not to mention we're really good at it and completely dedicated to it. A lot of people have a lot of businesses to do. I've got this one business to do. And we're all in on this. 35,000 people doing one job. Been doing it for a long time. The depth of capability, the scope of technology, as you saw yesterday, is pretty incredible. And it's not about building a chip; it's building an AI factory. We're talking about scale up, scale out. We're talking about networking and switches and software. We're talking about systems, and these system architectures are insane. Even the systems themselves. Notice, 100% of the computer industry, 100% of the computer industry has standardized on NVIDIA's system. Why? Because try to build an alternative. Building the alternative is not even thinkable because look at how much investment we put into building this one. And so even the system's hard. What people used to think, system is just sheet metal. Hardly sheet metal. 600,000 parts, it's hardly sheet metal. And so all of the technology is hard. We're pushing every single dimension to the limit because we're talking about so much money. The world is going to lay down hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in the next just a couple of two, three years. Let's do the thought experiment. Let's say you want to stand up a data center and you want it to be fully operational in two years' time. When do you have to place the PO on that? Today. So let's suppose you have to place a hundred billion dollar PO on something. What architecture would you place it on, literally based on everything you have today? There's only one. You can't reasonably build out giant infrastructures with hundreds of billions of dollars behind it, hoping to turn it back on and to get the ROIC on it, unless you have the confidence that we are able to provide you. And we can provide you complete confidence. And singularly so. We're the only technology company where if I had to go place a hundred billion dollars on an AI factory... Oh, that's interesting, I did. Literally the only company who's willing to place hundred billion dollar POs across the industry to go build it out. And you guys know, that's our, that's the depth of our supply chain. And we are, and we have. Give me another. Give me another one that has that depth and that length. And now to the point where we've got to go and work with the supply chain upstream and downstream to prepare the world for hundreds of billions of dollars working towards trillions of dollars of AI infrastructure build-out. Our partnerships with power companies and all of the cooling companies, the Vertivs, the Schneiders, our partnerships with BlackRock... The partnership network necessary to prepare the world to go build out trillions of dollars of AI infrastructure, that's undergoing as we speak. What architecture and what ASIC chip do you go select? That doesn't even make sense. It's a weird conversation even. And so, I think that one, the game is quite large. The investment level, therefore the risk level, is quite high. And so the certainty that you're selecting the best is quite important. And the certainty that you can execute, vital. We are the company you can build on top of. We're the company, we're the platform that you can build your AI infrastructure on. And we're the company that you can build your AI infrastructure strategy on. And so, I think it includes chips, but it's much, much more than that." --- From 'GTC Financial Analyst Q&A' session (full link in comment)
