Why did I move to El Salvador? Very simple. Literally my purpose in life is to uphold my responsibility as a father and cultivate the best possible future for my children, using the knowledge and resources available to me. To some people, that means stocking up on ammo and having lots of Bitcoin for the inevitable end of the world. But me, I prefer going down the path of lesser resistance. Why ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ป ? I see hope here. I see actual problems being solved for real people. I see a government with a low-time preference looking towards the future. I came here with the intention to build something beyond the scope of my own desire... and the results in only 3 months are literally palpable. The opportunity is fertile. Meanwhile, I've watched my home country/culture deteriorate over the last 15 years, along with much of the Europe I fell in love with as a young adult. I don't see hope there. I don't think I ever did. But El Salvador is a place visualizing a bright future and taking the steps to create it. I don't have to generate that hope & optimism, because it permeates the air here. I obviously don't know what the future holds. But in this place, in this moment, where women can feel safe walking around at night, the hardest money in the known universe is legal tender, and a shared air of optimism that is all but clinically contagious, I can't say I'd be doing my job well as a father if I didn't at least ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜บ to make things work here right now. End rant. If you vibe with what I'm saying and feel called to check this place out to see if it could be your Plan B (or A) for your own kids, I invite you to check out our next @SovStudios retreat happening November 10-14. We host workshops to introduce you to the country and take you on excursions to show you the lay of the land:

Took 2 months off of the gym and as you can see it doesnโ€™t look like it at all. That is because how you look is MAJORLY impacted by what you eat. In the 2 months off, I tracked my meals everyday and made sure to stay active by taking over 12,000 steps per day. I did feel noticeably smaller but I wasnโ€™t concerned because my body is known to bounce back pretty damn fast when I lock in. And that takes us to, โ€˜Chapter 2026. The Lock In.โ€™ This year in my off season I plan to pack on an OD amount of size. I say size instead of muscle because in putting on size, Iโ€™m guaranteed to pack on body fat as well. Not as much as I would if I ate whatever I wanted and claimed I was โ€œdirty bulking.โ€ I spent way too much time getting lean last year to lose it all recklessly. How Iโ€™m going to do it is simple and straight forward. 1. Track my macros. 2. Prioritize protein and increase calories gradually by increasing my carb intake and keeping fat at a moderate level. 3. Training on a 5 day split. 4. Keeping light cardio a part of my routine. 5. Focusing on my recovery. Thatโ€™s it. Thereโ€™s no secret sauce or formula. Itโ€™s simply doing what youโ€™re supposed to do consistently and making it a non negotiable habit. Once you start to see progress it becomes addicting and you begin to love the process. If you wait until you โ€œget thereโ€ youโ€™re going to miss out on the real fun and journey. Iโ€™m going to be documenting the entire year with the core of the content I produce and release be to educate you guys on what I am doing in fun creative ways. I donโ€™t want this to be a year of, โ€œwatch me do it.โ€ Iโ€™d rather it be a, โ€œhere, do it with me.โ€ Which is why all my workout plans and meal guides are available for download on my website. Simply pick a program that fits your goals, download, follow along and repeat. And if you want to take it a step further and personally get trained by me 1-on-1, bet on yourself and Apply for coaching while on the site. You know youโ€™re going to upgrade to a new phone this year. Might as well get a REAL upgrade and upgrade your body and mind. You deserve it. โš”๏ธ

UPDATE FROM JAKE- I went to show support at Chud the Builder's $1. 25 million bond hearing and was arrested and thrown (in the maximum he could sentence me to) of 10 days of solitary confinement by the judge!!!! Here's how it happened. I was sitting next to Chud's wonderful and soft-spoken fiancee when she whispered, โ€œI love youโ€ to Chud, and was kicked out of the courtroom!!! Moments later, I was nodding my head in agreement to a video of Chud during an interview when the bailiff demanded that I leave the courtroom as well! I stood up and calmly exited and said in a normal speaking tone โ€œThis is two-tiered justice!โ€ I am now inside of Montgomery County Jail STARVING for two days because they are refusing to give me a Kosher Diet!! I was also told by Sergeant Hawley today that my request for Kosher Diet was denied and that he would be put on suicide watch if I refuse to eat, which is basically naked torture in a cell alone for 10 days. They also are saying they're going to move me in with a roommate in solitary tonight, but would not give me any other details on who they would be putting me with!!! I showed up to Chud's hearing because I know what it's like to turn around in a courtroom where your life is on the line and see nobody but your mother and father. I wanted to make sure Chud did not go through the same pain I had to for four years and six days as a January sixth political prisoner. I stood up and said something because that's what righteous men do. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Not me. As for me in my house, we shall serve the LORD. Free chud. SECOND UPDATE- As I was on the phone with Jake yesterday getting this message from him, he was yelling in his cell begging to be fed and saying how hungry he was. Seconds later Supervisor Black and another man went in his cell, said heโ€™s coming with them, put him in handcuffs and took him away. I have now not heard from Jake for over 24 hours because they have taken away his phone privileges simply for begging for FOOD!!!!! I have the entire thing on recording. It is disturbing and sickening. I have called the jail dozens of times yesterday and today and they refuse to tell me where he was taken and will not let him speak to me. Every single lieutenant, supervisor, etc I have spoken to yesterday and today have all given me different stories than the other and continuously lie to cover up what they are doing. These people are EVIL AND SICK!!!! I have all of those calls recorded and documented also. I have spent three days calling every lawyer and law firm in Clarksville Tennessee and NOT ONE lawyer is willing to help Jake because Jake was arrested at Chuds court hearing and these SPINELESS COWARDS are all to scared to put their name anywhere associated with Chud. Between the INSANE POWER HUNGRY LUNATIC JUDGE, the WEAK PATHETIC lawyers and the EVIL SCUM at the Montgomery county jail, it has been an absolute nightmare. Lord, save us.

The โ€œI never wanted any of this to be public or contentโ€ Lie, A Timeline I never wanted any of this to come out. Except I actually mean that. Itโ€™s embarrassing, itโ€™s trashy, and itโ€™s the opposite of how I want to present myself publicly. I stayed silent for months while lie after lie was spun about me behind the scenes because I didnโ€™t want to air private, messy moments from a relationship I genuinely cared about. I stayed silent out of fear, because I was told no one would believe me because he would be blindly believed on his large platform. In one of our very last conversations before I blocked him everywhere mid-October, he threatened to do a show on me, contact my employer, and โ€œturn me into the next Lindseyโ€. Why? Because I didnโ€™t want to continue apologizing to him for the 300th time about venting to someone I thought was a friend. I stayed silent because of these threats. But after Wednesday, after Chelsea posted the private video Aidan gave her, (the same one he threatened me with directly back on 10/2), and after the gaslighting, I donโ€™t have a choice anymore. So here is the timeline. Here are the receipts. Here is what actually happened. September-October 2025- I Stayed Silent Through Months of Smear Campaigns For months, several creators repeated the same false narrative that โ€œAidan never said a bad word about Meredith.โ€ Jess. Glarer. Auntie Deb. Kim. Ray from Dallas. Others. Meanwhile, Aidan was: โ€ข Badmouthing me privately and encouraging others to do so publicly, โ€ข Texting Joe โ€œFlipperheadโ€ entire paragraphs trashing me, โ€ข Aidan knew Joe would leak them (and even bragged on a stream that he did exactly that so heโ€™d leak them), โ€ข Sending Jess Machado after me for months on her large platform, โ€ข Directing people behind the scenes to paint me as a villain. โ€ข Sending random people who supported me DMs to change their mind (yes Aidan, not everyone is fooled by your bullshit and they came right to me). I ignored all of it. I said nothing. I stayed silent through daily lies because I didnโ€™t want to call more attention to it or face Aidanโ€™s wrath. November 2025 -The Rumors About โ€œMarch 4โ€ and Joe Flipperhead Flips to Team Aidan Aidan texted Joe his entire made-up version weeks ago. Joe circulated those texts on purpose. Joe threatened me with posting a video montage of mine and Aidanโ€™s private texts. Joe is a pussy so he eventually had Kristy post it for him. Creators discussed it publicly without me ever responding. I STILL didnโ€™t defend myself. November 26-27, 2025- Ratchet Chelsea: The Full 48 Hour Meltdown 11/26/25โ€” The Unprovoked Attack & The March 4 Video On Tuesday night, Chelsea came out of nowhere and launched herself straight at me, accusing me of all kinds of conspiracies from harassment to the horrific crime of sending a friend request, which is explained in vivid detail in the below post (sheโ€™s since gone somewhat viral, love this for her!) She spent the next 24 hours thoroughly embarrassing herself and the moment anyone challenged her story even slightly, she did what she always does: she imploded. Her accusations spiraled into her posting the March 4 video. On 11/26/25 at 11:08 PM, Chelsea posted the first clipโ€“a blanket, context-less snippet of me drunk saying something I immediately apologized for the next morning. At 11:50 PM, I responded because at that point, I had no choice. 11/27/25โ€” The 9-Minute Backpedal Then on Thanksgiving, Aidan tried to save face by posting that he โ€œdidnโ€™t want the video to be public.โ€ And like clockwork, nine minutes later, Chelsea came charging into the comments like a Temu-sponsored bat out of hell, scrambling to apologize, trying to rewrite reality so it looked like he didnโ€™t send her to do it. It was panicked, sloppy damage control. An amateur quality cover-up attempt that only made it more obvious how coordinated this all was. She wasnโ€™t apologizing because she grew a conscience. She was apologizing because she got caught doing exactly what sheโ€™d been primed to do. I wonder if Aidan called her โ€œyou shouldโ€™ve waited at least 20 minutes, dumbass!!!โ€. Not too bright that Chelsea. I can only imagine the regrets he must have for utilizing someone with the IQ of a pencil to do his dirty work. The Coordination Between Aidan & Chelsea Is Obvious Chelsea had virtually NO followers Wednesday morning. Aidan was one of the first. Weโ€™re supposed to believe someone with 150k followers just stumbled on an account that starts posting HIS private messages and HIS private videos? Kk. Aidan commented on her posts that same day, clearly encouraging it, continuing to this day, all while pretending he's not directing it. Kk. She confirmed in my DMs back on 11/6 that she and Aidan were aligned. And she literally wrote at 4:04 AM that she had โ€œproof,โ€ videos & screenshots she would release if I didnโ€™t โ€œstop callingโ€ her, calls she still hasnโ€™t produced a single shred of proof of. Then yesterday within 9 minutes of his post, she writes: โ€œSorry for going rogue, Aidan, I hope you donโ€™t hate my guts.โ€ Going rogue? From WHAT? Who gave you the material in the first place? The coordination is obvious to anyone with functioning brain cells. The โ€œI never wanted this publicโ€ lie Aidanโ€™s post yesterday claimed he โ€œnever wanted this to be public.โ€ Heโ€™s been threatening me for months behind the scenes to post the infamous video. To do a show on me. To send things to others to weaponize against me. If this were true, why did he instruct Chelsea to post it? Why did he share it with Jess Machado to threaten me with for the last month? Why did he share it with Joe Flipperhead, and God knows who else? If he didnโ€™t want it public, he wouldnโ€™t have shared it with anyone, let alone the girl I caught him cheating with. The timeline is clearโ€“ Chelsea posted a video at 11:08 pm on Thanksgiving Eve, I responded at 11:50 out of self defense. He leaked first. He escalated first. He weaponized it first. Trying to rewrite that now is gaslighting, pure and simple. The โ€œMeredith accused him of abuseโ€ narrative is FALSE My actions tell the truth: โ€ข I never went to police. โ€ข I never filed anything. โ€ข I never told anyone he hit me. โ€ข I never repeated it. โ€ข I apologized the next day. โ€ข We stayed together for FOUR more months after that night. โ€ข He called me 100+ times some days, even indicating heโ€™d end his life if we broke up. If he believed I was โ€œdangerous,โ€ his actions would have said that. They didnโ€™t. The only reason this is public now is because HE leaked it. Actions > drunk slurred words said because a camera was shoved in my face when I asked him repeatedly to stop filming and to leave. The Wilbur Theatre Rumorsโ€”Letโ€™s get petty for a second. This is another topic Iโ€™m cringing at discussing but we can thank Aidan for since he shared our sexual messages with Joe Flipperhead. And since some people (Auntie Deb, sweetie, this means you) insist on pushing their Dollar Store fan-fiction about the Wilbur Theatre night, letโ€™s actually walk through what happened, using facts instead of whatever drug-induced hallucinations youโ€™ve been spinning this week. The rumor goes like this- I was โ€œmad at Aidan because we didnโ€™t hook up,โ€ and to โ€œproveโ€ it, they trot out a cherry-picked text where I said I wanted to hook up, he didnโ€™t answer, and the next morning I said I was drunk and sorry. And somehow this has been spun into me being desperate, obsessed, or pining like a background character in a teenage soap opera. Adorable. Wrong, but adorable. Hereโ€™s the real plot twist-Aidan and I had already been together literally two days earlier, and shocker-that was initiated by him, not me. I didnโ€™t just โ€œshow up at the Wilburโ€. He invited me to come to the after party at Encore knowing I had a wedding earlier in the night. I wanted to see my friends there who I actually met to go with. This wasnโ€™t a surprise, it was planned ahead of time. The โ€œI was drunk, sorryโ€ message wasnโ€™t heartbreak. It wasnโ€™t longing. It was me politely tapping the brakes because I didnโ€™t even want to entertain whatever bad path it could lead us back down. And then? He texted me asking about my brotherโ€™s wedding, how I am, etc. I ignored him for a full week. Until I had no choice but to speak to him about MereNeill. That silence, from me, is what triggered his latest meltdown. Not mine. His. So no, Auntie Deb, your version isnโ€™t โ€œa different perspective.โ€ Itโ€™s just wrong. Like wildly, hilariously, not-even-in-the-ballpark wrong. But sure, keep spinning fanfic if it makes your livestreams feel more exciting. I realize itโ€™s probably been awhile since youโ€™ve had any action since youโ€™ve let yourself go so badly, so you live vicariously through others. Recap For MONTHS I ignored: โ€ข the texts he sent Joe to leak โ€ข the smear campaign โ€ข the creators parroting lies โ€ข the behind-the-scenes messages โ€ข the insinuations I hacked him and even shared revenge porn โ€ข the constant coordinated attacks โ€ข the threats of โ€œturning me into the next Lindseyโ€ โ€ข his warning that everyone would believe him because of his platform โ€ข the threats to contact my employer I didnโ€™t clap back, didnโ€™t retaliate, didnโ€™t respond. But Wednesday, when Chelsea dumped the video he gave her, the same video she threatened weeks ago to drop, AND he posted pretending he didnโ€™t want this all out? That was the line. They chose the nuclear option. And last night's gaslighting grift was just the icing on the cake. Now Iโ€™m responding with facts in pure self-defense. Conclusion/Message for Temu Storm This entire mess could have stayed private. I wanted it to stay private. But when someone leaks your private moments, lies about your intentions, weaponizes your past, and coordinates an online attack, you either let the false narrative stand or you defend yourself. Iโ€™m choosing to defend myself with receipts, not gossip. With timelines, not โ€œhe said.โ€ With evidence, not weaponized drunk clips. And then thereโ€™s Aidanโ€™s favorite delusion. The claim that I was โ€˜working with Karen behind the scenesโ€™ or โ€˜conspiring with her to get him in trouble for the recording.โ€™ That could not be further from the truth. I didnโ€™t even know he had recorded her until after she already knew about it herself. I wasnโ€™t working with her, plotting with her, or communicating with her about it. She and I have always been friendly, but we didnโ€™t even discuss the recording until it started leaking and Joe Flipperhead went feral on Twitter. Meanwhile, Aidan spent weeks screaming at me, accusing me of being some kind of secret double agent, like he was trying to create the betrayal he was terrified of. Almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. And hereโ€™s the reality: in the last few weeks, after heโ€™s gone fully scorched earth on me, I have talked to her, and I support her 100%. The things heโ€™s done to her over the past couple years, and the way he twisted it all for his followers, is the exact same manipulation I lived through. Iโ€™m not going into her details because thatโ€™s her story to tellโ€ฆ but letโ€™s just say I have a feeling youโ€™ll be hearing it sooner rather than later. The lie that Aidan never wanted this to be public is just laughable at this point. Who are we kidding? He's been foaming at the mouth for months to make this content where he can play the victim, as usual. And since this week has apparently become โ€œLetโ€™s All Fixate on Meredith Week,โ€ let me address the content-creator sideshow, too. Some of you are strangers, while some I actually considered my friends. Itโ€™s shocking but not shocking how quickly you all flip a switch and follow your captainโ€™s orders. Ray from Dallas spent his Sunday foaming at the mouth in a hostile little video about me, all bark, no substance. I saw it. Iโ€™m not intimidated. Mostly, Iโ€™m embarrassed for you. Then thereโ€™s Will, whoโ€™s gone on multiple streams calling me โ€œcrazyโ€ and pretending heโ€™s scared of me, despite me being nothing but nice to him. Why? Because he thinks I was the first one to tell Karen he heard the recording, which he absolutely did (unless Aidan is lying about who he played it for, but we know heโ€™s actually telling the truth on this for once). She was informed of it the very next day, which is why she called you and you know this. This was two full days before I was even aware of a call at all. Will, for someone with your track record, maybe sit the โ€œwomen are dangerousโ€ narrative out. Youโ€™re not fooling anyone. Iโ€™m staring at 15 pages of police reports and no, itโ€™s not all โ€œthings youโ€™ve owned up for in the pastโ€. You know this. Again, Iโ€™d take a very large seat here. And my personal favorite-Auntie Deb, who decided to spice up his Spaces on Thanksgiving by accusing me of distributing revenge p*rn with zero evidence, zero screenshots, zero anything. Accusing me of killing a turtle yesterday. A completely fabricated felony tossed around like itโ€™s gossip hour at the bingo hall. Considering your own professional history, James, Iโ€™d hope you of all people would understand how catastrophic false accusations can be, but apparently not. I wonder if youโ€™ll have that same enthusiasm when the topic is you. TBD. Iโ€™ll wait for that retraction about revenge p*rn, animal abuse, etc. Ballโ€™s in your court hun. And of course, thereโ€™s Jessica Machado, whoโ€™s been grinding this axe for months like itโ€™s her full-time personality. Hos long did you cry when Chelsea beat you to the punch with that video? Donโ€™t worry hun, thereโ€™s more but she didnโ€™t post it because itโ€™s not great for your fairytale. Since you reported my last post, I'll leave the rest up for your imagination. Youโ€™ve been so obsessed with me for so long that you canโ€™t even keep your own narratives straight anymore. I love this so much for you. Let me be crystal clearโ€“I am done being all of your punching bag. You love to spin this narrative that Iโ€™m this dangerous person. Youโ€™d think youโ€™d lay off from constantly f*cking with me if you truly believed that. I would genuinely love for this nonsense to stop. But that requires ALL of you to stop manufacturing drama, stop lying, and stop weaponizing made-up crimes for clicks. And if they want to keep going? Iโ€™ve got plenty of content for many seasons to come.

It was me politely tapping the brakes because I didnโ€™t even want to entertain whatever bad path it could lead us back down. And then? He texted me asking about my brotherโ€™s wedding, how I am, etc. I ignored him for a full week. Until I had no choice but to speak to him about MereNeill. That silence, from me, is what triggered his latest meltdown. Not mine. His. So no, Auntie Deb, your version isnโ€™t โ€œa different perspective.โ€ Itโ€™s just wrong. Like wildly, hilariously, not-even-in-the-ballpark wrong. But sure, keep spinning fanfic if it makes your livestreams feel more exciting. I realize itโ€™s probably been awhile since youโ€™ve had any action since youโ€™ve let yourself go so badly, so you live vicariously through others. Recap For MONTHS I ignored: โ€ข the texts he sent Joe to leak โ€ข the smear campaign โ€ข the creators parroting lies โ€ข the behind-the-scenes messages โ€ข the insinuations I hacked him and even shared revenge porn โ€ข the constant coordinated attacks โ€ข the threats of โ€œturning me into the next Lindseyโ€ โ€ข his warning that everyone would believe him because of his platform โ€ข the threats to contact my employer I didnโ€™t clap back, didnโ€™t retaliate, didnโ€™t respond. But Wednesday, when Chelsea dumped the video he gave her, the same video she threatened weeks ago to drop, AND he posted pretending he didnโ€™t want this all out? That was the line. They chose the nuclear option. Now Iโ€™m responding with facts in pure self-defense. Conclusion/Message for Temu Storm This entire mess could have stayed private. I wanted it to stay private. But when someone leaks your private moments, lies about your intentions, weaponizes your past, and coordinates an online attack, you either let the false narrative stand or you defend yourself. Iโ€™m choosing to defend myself with receipts, not gossip. With timelines, not โ€œhe said.โ€ With evidence, not weaponized drunk clips. And then thereโ€™s Aidanโ€™s favorite delusion. The claim that I was โ€˜working with Karen behind the scenesโ€™ or โ€˜conspiring with her to get him in trouble for the recording.โ€™ That could not be further from the truth. I didnโ€™t even know he had recorded her until after she already knew about it herself. I wasnโ€™t working with her, plotting with her, or communicating with her about it. She and I have always been friendly, but we didnโ€™t even discuss the recording until it started leaking and Joe Flipperhead went feral on Twitter. Meanwhile, Aidan spent weeks screaming at me, accusing me of being some kind of secret double agent, like he was trying to create the betrayal he was terrified of. Almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. And hereโ€™s the reality: in the last few weeks, after heโ€™s gone fully scorched earth on me, I have talked to her, and I support her 100%. The things heโ€™s done to her over the past couple years, and the way he twisted it all for his followers, is the exact same manipulation I lived through. Iโ€™m not going into her details because thatโ€™s her story to tellโ€ฆ but letโ€™s just say I have a feeling youโ€™ll be hearing it sooner rather than later. And since this week has apparently become โ€œLetโ€™s All Fixate on Meredith Week,โ€ let me address the content-creator sideshow, too. Some of you are strangers, while some I actually considered my friends. Itโ€™s shocking but not shocking how quickly you all flip a switch and follow your captainโ€™s orders. Ray from Dallas spent his Sunday foaming at the mouth in a hostile little video about me, all bark, no substance. I saw it. Iโ€™m not intimidated. Mostly, Iโ€™m embarrassed for you. And your family(ies) will feel the same when your ass is doxxed next week. Canโ€™t wait to tAkE tHaT WaLk with you! Then thereโ€™s Will, whoโ€™s gone on multiple streams calling me โ€œcrazyโ€ and pretending heโ€™s scared of me, despite me being nothing but nice to him. Why? Because he thinks I was the first one to tell Karen he heard the recording, which he absolutely did (unless Aidan is lying about who he played it for, but we know heโ€™s actually telling the truth on this for once). She was informed of it the very next day, which is why she called you and you know this. This was two full days before I was even aware of a call at all. Will, for someone with your track record, maybe sit the โ€œwomen are dangerousโ€ narrative out. Youโ€™re not fooling anyone. Iโ€™m staring at 15 pages of police reports and no, itโ€™s not all โ€œthings youโ€™ve owned up for in the pastโ€. You know this. Again, Iโ€™d take a very large seat here. And then my personal favorite-ex-fake friend Auntie Deb, who decided to spice up his Spaces on Thanksgiving by accusing me of distributing revenge porn with zero evidence, zero screenshots, zero anything. A completely fabricated felony tossed around like itโ€™s gossip hour at the bingo hall. Considering your own professional history, James, Iโ€™d hope you of all people would understand how catastrophic false accusations can be, but apparently not. It would be a shame if I were to share the real reason around your separation at the middle school and how you wanted to bring Turtlenoy into it. This is all based on the several witnesses Iโ€™ve spoken to. See how that works? You announce things as fact based on something someone told you. I wonder if youโ€™ll have that same enthusiasm when the topic is you. TBD. Iโ€™ll wait for that retraction about revenge porn. Ballโ€™s in your court hun. And of course, thereโ€™s Jessica Machado, whoโ€™s been grinding this axe for months like itโ€™s her full-time personality. Hos long did you cry when Chelsea beat you to the punch with that video? Donโ€™t worry hun, thereโ€™s more but she didnโ€™t post it because itโ€™s not great for your fairytale. If you thought the fall-out of Kateโ€™s video was bad, Jessicaโ€ฆstay tuned. I may have been momentarily distracted dealing with the chaos from Temu Chelsea, but thereโ€™s an army of your victims out there that are eager and ready for your downfall. The false claim that I shared โ€œrevenge porn,โ€ the conspiracy theories, the wild accusations you present as fact, all of it. The 10+ streams youโ€™ve now defamed me on. Youโ€™ve been so obsessed with me for so long that you canโ€™t even keep your own narratives straight anymore. I love this so much for you. Let me be crystal clearโ€“I am done being all of your punching bag. You love to spin this narrative that Iโ€™m this dangerous person. Youโ€™d think youโ€™d lay off from constantly f*cking with me if you truly believed that. I would genuinely love for this nonsense to stop. But that requires ALL of you to stop manufacturing drama, stop lying, and stop weaponizing made-up crimes for clicks. And if they want to keep going? Iโ€™ve got plenty of content for many seasons to come.

Unchecked capitalism is the cause of the male loneliness epidemic and the radicalization of young men. Allow me to show my work. Capitalism is the best economic system in history, but it only works with guardrails. Strong unions, social safety nets, accessible housing and education, fair wages - these are all things America USED to have. Itโ€™s why families could survive on one income, and women who wanted to stay home could choose to. The days when men could work 40 hours at a blue collar job and support a family of four. That all changed with Reagan and supply side (AKA trickle down) economics. As things became more and more expensive, women were forced into the workforce. There was no other choice. I was a child during this transition. My mom WANTED to stay home with us. My family couldnโ€™t afford it. I was part of the latchkey kid generation. But through the transition, men were still raised to believe that they were the breadwinner - that their only identity in life was to go to work and be a paycheck - and when rising costs and stagnant wages made that increasingly impossible, they automatically internalized that they were a failure. Enter the podcast bros. Instead of this being correctly labeled as society failing men AND families, they grifted on the idea that somehow women were to blame, and feminism was the devil. And while itโ€™s true that women gained more freedom once they were able to get their own credit cards and apply for their own mortgages, it never meant that we stopped wanting love, children and families. But with the rise in popularity of the โ€œblame women for everythingโ€ movement + the new freedoms, women did start to naturally shy away from traditional norms. Men hated us for not wanting them, then women hated men for not wanting women, and grifters capitalized on this growing divide by making content that has - quite honestly - RADICALIZED young men that they shouldnโ€™t even try. Women are the enemy. They only want money. But since the world isnโ€™t set up any longer for individual success, then itโ€™s womenโ€™s fault, and everything sucks, and why even try? Iโ€™d be angry as fuck too. You want to un-radicalize young men? Bring back HOPE. Fix our system. Bring back our unions, bring back workers rights, provide education, support universal healthcare, build affordable housing. Let men and women BOTH know that they will have the tools to succeed in this country if they want to. Because no one has that now. The larger the gap grows, the more workers rights are stripped away in favor of corporate profits, the more hopeless we all become. Men shouldnโ€™t be fighting to take away the rights of women - they should be fighting WITH US to restore opportunity for us ALL. This video touches on how the banner of โ€œconservatismโ€ has been a lie all along, and how โ€œotheringโ€ has been so incredibly damaging to our country. STOP blaming us and JOIN us - because we ALL need our country back. Please excuse the frequent pauses, when I recorded this I had just been released from the hospital with pneumonia. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

THEORY: Did Fanaticsโ€™ launch of stitched NFL jerseys for 30 teams reveal 2 teams planning new uniform redesigns in 2027? Connecting the drop with facts & rumors about why the Saints & Dolphins *could* be working on new primary uniforms! ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ‘‡ I transcribed my video below, but the key points to consider: - Iโ€™m not reporting a redesign, but those I could reach today said my theory makes sense - Prior to this, there was already enough signs & smoke around the Dolphins & Saints considering new uniforms - The 2026 season has been locked since before the 2025 season, this is for 2027 - No one made a mistake, this is just a product of the long uniform process TRANSCRIPT (for those who like to read ๐Ÿ˜‰): I think I might have uncovered something pretty big. You might know I love talking about jerseys, uniforms, sports design, especially in football. And occasionally, I like to report a little news, break some news I find out. Well, yesterday, Fanatics officially announced what I reported back in October, that they're bringing back stitched jerseys for NFL jerseys. But I didn't get excited and start connecting some dots until I noticed that they didn't drop the stitched jerseys for every NFL team. There are two missing. And it got me thinking about everything I've ever reported and said, all my videos I've ever made, and it specifically brought me to three key facts. Fact 1: teams work on new uniform designs for multiple years. My talks and videos with the Falcons and Ravens confirm this. The reason for this, among many reasons, they need to let manufacturers know ahead of time to get the proper materials and to prepare the new designs, both the new ones and to wind down existing ones. Fact 2: that does impact distributors. Retailers are notified as early as a year out to stop ordering and selling certain jerseys if new ones will be replacing it because they don't want to be sitting there with a bunch of unsold jerseys. That brings me to Fact 3. We know that Fanatics has been the NFL's official manufacturer and distributor, the exclusive one, since 2018. Well, the two teams that did not have stitched jerseys dropped with the rest of the league? My Dolphins and the Saints. Now I want to be clear real quick: Fanatics did not mess up. They did not make a mistake. They were simply following the long-winding uniform process that multiple parties are involved in. So why does this raise flags in me that the Saints and Dolphins could be getting new uniforms in 2027? Again, we know how long the process is, but there have been multiple reports about whispers within the Saints organization about new uniform and considerations, possible changes And back in April 2025, when I first reported the Dolphins having internal and external interest in a dark uniform, they also had interest in an orange uniform. So both teams having some whispers, some reported discussions about new uniforms does tell me maybe there is fire with this smoke. And also importantly, I feel like most Dolphins and Saints fans have wanted new uniforms for a while now. Maybe the organizations are listening. Now, I'm not confirming anything. And all of this, I guess, could be a moot point if the Saints and Dolphins quickly drop stitched jerseys for retailโ€ฆ unless we find out it was a rushed reactionary process. Once again, I'm just connecting the dots, but what do you want to see?

Carol Vorderman in conversation with James O'Brein over Reform UK's Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon's insulting remarks JOB, "Carol Vorderman has asked Robert Kenyon, a Reform UK's candidate in the imminent Makerfield by election, for an apology, for posts on a now deleted X account in which he, Well, you'll find out, if you don't know already, she said, I want an apology from Rob Kenyon to me and to all the other people he's abused online." JOB, "I sat down with Carol yesterday afternoon to talk about this and, one or two other things. It occurred to me, just sitting down now, Carol, that this is not something you, you sought because you haven't been in any sense reticent in recent years with your political opinions and even with activism, but you've been dragged into this deeply unpleasant situation entirely innocently." JOB, "So unpleasant, in fact, that I'm not sure I can repeat, I'm not sure I'm comfortable saying in front of you the words that Robert Kenyon chose to endorse and defend on, social media." CV, "Well, I am, because it's important that people know. And this is just one comment. He has made multiple comments which are online abuse about me and lots of other people. So the one specifically about me that he endorsed was I want to smell and lick Carol Vorderman's eight letter word beginning with A." CV, "And reform have said, oh, it's just locker room banter. I don't know why they're using the term locker room, by the way, because I thought we said changing rooms in this country. But that's an entirely different, different, question. But the thing is, James, I'm not upset by it, I am angered by it." CV, "And the reason that I'm angered by it is because every woman listening, any woman who is on social media will have similar said to her, either abusive, all the other things that he said. You know, there was some forum that he was on, rugby, league forum, and they were posting pictures of the girls, the women who play." CV, "And then he was saying, oh, English women, they don't care. All they want to do with their fat bellies, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Then there was some, European women. Then he was saying, you know, oh, you wouldn't get me off them with a bazooka." CV, "You know, all this stuff, stuff about abortion. I mean, it's just disgusting stuff. And it's not just one comment, it's a tirade of online abuse. And every woman listening who has had that will know how it makes them feel." CV, "And so I am angry that a political party can take this person on one without obviously vetting him properly. But also that they just defend it and they're fine with that." JOB, "He was not a politician at the time. He was an ordinary man from an ordinary place, said Danny Craig group." CV, "Really? That's what. Yeah, that's what posh boys, who lead the Reform Party think, of ordinary men. Well, ordinary men generally are lovely, you know, they really are." JOB, "We do our best." CV, "Well, you are. And they respect women. All of that is true. But you have this growing minority who are extremely abusive. And I'm 65, James. And so I've been, you know, and women my age, we've been through the hard years." CV, "So in the 70s, you know, I was a bright kid from a comp in North Wales. Free school meals kid. And it took, you know, a lot to get to a Cambridge college because there were only, three girls colleges." CV, "And I think four or five had gone what they called mixed. So these are boys colleges taking on women's colleges. And it was like, why wouldn't you? You know, I was from a boys and girls comp, but we had to go through that." CV, "You had to be the first woman to do this. First woman from a state school. Northwest goes Cambridge first. You know, I was, I think, when I did engineering, There were about 300 students in our year, four or five of them were girls. I worked underground, me and 2,000 men, all this." CV, "So we have done the hard years over decades, all that. I wanted to be a fighter pilot. You can't, because you're a girl and you don't have the appendage that's required. You know, all of this nonsense that we had to put up with. So, for me, that this Reform Party is saying on day one, they would repeal the Equality act." CV, "And we all know what that means. So, you know, the protections against harassment of women in the workplace, the, equal pay, maternity leave, maternity pay, all of those. We're going to scrap all those. So it is indicative of the way in which this might go, as we've seen in America." JOB, "I think talking of ordinary men, the person who pushed back against him on social media was. It was a rather better model of masculinity." CV, "Yes, absolutely. So he's the author, Chris Ryan, who is a former SAS hero, a very successful author. Chris is his pen name. And, he absolutely defended me because he is a real man." CV, "He's not a pretend. He's a real guy and a guy who respects women." JOB, "I suppose, in some sense, the writing was on the wall with the leadership of reform who have not responded by the way, to, our, requests a, response to these allegations of misogyny, including the comments directed at you." JOB, "But when James McMurdoch Ended up in Parliament just after the last election, and, it quickly emerged that he'd been jailed for attacking a former girlfriend." CV, "Yes. And here is another example, a very serious example of, to me, reforms, excuses for things. So I think it was a Times newspaper fact he only got in with a majority of 98." CV, "So imagine if this information had been available beforehand about him. So, shortly after he was elected in 2024 as a Reform MP, I think it was a Times newspaper, found that he had been convicted and served time for, assaulting his girlfriend." CV, "He then said in his defense, oh, it was a push. Then the official court documents show that she was on the floor. He was kicking her multiple times while she was on the floor and had to be, dragged away by two security guards." CV, "Very different stories. Richard Tice then defends it, saying, oh, well, he's served his time. That was a long time ago. It doesn't matter. I am sorry. It matters. It matters to women. We know how much harassment online has increased and offline." CV, "So this is a time for all women to stand up and say, enough now, we are not going backwards." JOB, "I suppose one example is. It could be chalked up as accidental or carelessness. But two examples and emerging patterns speak of something altogether more sinister." CV, "Yes, well, Lee Anderson, bless him, when he was a Tory. That was after he was a Labour." JOB, "Yes." CV, "And now he's a Reform." JOB, "Correct. Well, at the time of this conversation, we'll have to check before we play it" CV, "out on the program tomorrow. Yeah, so he was, in the Conservative Party at the time and he was slinging insults to me all the time on Twitter in, the days when we used to be on Twitter. And, you know, obviously now he's reformed, he thinks it's perfectly acceptable." CV, "So there is a pattern there with this party. And, that is my concern that they will, if they get into, and they've stated it out in the open, we will repeal the Equality Act." JOB, "It's surprising to me when people like Danny Kruger talk about ordinary people. An ordinary man for an ordinary man." CV, "When he went to Eton." JOB, "Yeah. And, well, also his mother is on telly as well, so, you know, he or she at, at least will be aware of the misogyny that police. Yeah, yeah. You think that that might have given him a slightly more sensitive insight into what it's like for women like you. And, and you are tough. I mean, I don't mean that in a patronizing way." CV, "I take it as a compliment." JOB, "Good, I'm glad you do because you are perfectly capable of looking after yourself. A lot of women, both online and offline, are not, of course, and those are the kind of women that, misogynistic men prey on." CV, "But the thing is, I, I have a tough skin now because of all of the abuse over decades. And it. You know, I can remember when I wore a short skirt to the BAFTAs. I was age 39. Well, it was like I'd killed my grandmother the next day." CV, "It was the quest. Even the BBC made a whole Kilroy show about it. Flew this dress in copy dress from Paris. And, the question was, should a woman age 39 wear a dress above the knee? Jeez, I mean, that's my lifetime. This isn't Victorian days or my mother or post war." CV, "This is me in my lifetime. So, you know, as I go back to the beginning, women my age who love the fact that our daughters or nieces, or grandchildren have, can play football, you know, very happily can be applauded for what they do in sport." CV, "Can be. Oh, another thing that I'll, Kenyon said was that women can't referee, drive, take directions. And he had a go at various female sports presenters on the telly. You know, it's constant, it's consistent." JOB, "So they're not, they're not up to the job. They're only there to tick a box. And then declaring and From a political point of view, this is interesting actually stating I'm sexist. Sorry, but I am." CV, "Yeah." JOB, "And then the defense from reform UK becomes. These comments were made before he entered politics. He's perfectly entitled to his own personal opinions." CV, "That was three weeks ago." JOB, "Yeah, yeah. It's extraordinary that he can state that because Murdoch didn't get dropped by the party for the conviction for battering his ex, he got dropped after it emerged that he'd taken Covid loans out under the COVID support scheme. I think that's still ongoing." JOB, "But to state I am sexist, sorry, but I am in 2024 would have probably been a career ending revelation. Do you think? We're going a bit backwards, But I think we" CV, "have the potential to go backwards and we now, you know, generally you go, life's good. You know, doing this, that and the other. When I began my career as an engineer, funnily enough, not many women then were talking about having a career because not Many women have been to university and all of that." CV, "Now, thankfully, decades later, women are having careers. But also, housing was a lot cheaper then. So now we need to. You need, two incomes to fund a mortgage generally in this country." CV, "So the whole business of, oh, well, we're going to scrap the law that says about equal pay. That's going to affect people directly. And this is what I want people to understand, really. This is. This is not just about a woman getting on a high horse about something." CV, "This is very, very, very. Couldn't be more serious." JOB, "And, yeah, it is, of course, people like Nigel Farage and Sarah Potchin who claim that they're the party dedicated to protecting women and children. I mean, it's beyond irony. It emerged yesterday that one in five of the people arrested over the riots in 2024, which many people feel were fermented by Nigel Farage's social media activ." JOB, "Five of the people arrested over those riots have since been reported to the police for domestic abuse. So to simultaneously encourage and excuse the misogyny that's been directed at you and at other women while claiming. And, of course, to put a violent offender into Parliament and say that that's not an excluding offense while simultaneously claiming that they act for women and children is, It's beyond parody, isn't it?" CV, "And those same people who were arrested, there were almost 900 of them, weren't there? About the riots across the country at the time, 41% had already, been reported to the police for domestic abuse." JOB, "So who are the women and children they're dedicated to protecting?" CV, "Well, quite." JOB, "And who are they protecting them from?" CV, "None." JOB, "It's good to see you. I knew that you would be, perturbed by this, but." CV, "I am." JOB, "But enraged?" CV, "Yes, I am." JOB, "And are you expecting an apology? I know you've demanded." CV, "Well, I can't." JOB, "You did not demand anything." CV, "I can't demand anything. I have asked for an apology. Not for me." JOB, "No." CV, "But for all of us. And for his comments so far. I just think we're on day three. Nothing." JOB, "Not even a whisper nothing or a nothing." CV, "He's still running away. Hiding away from cameras, maybe." JOB, "Don't hold your breath, Carol. Thank you." CV, "Thanks, James." JOB, "Still waiting. I hope she didn't hold her breath. We got a statement from Reform Councillor Kenyon, made these comments before entering politics. We are confident that he is an excellent candidate who will be a superb local MP for Makerfield.

If you want to understand the Joe FlipperHead, Olivia Lamb, Karen Read and Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney chaos; FlipperHead (a guy named Nick from Philly) got confirmation Aidan recorded Karen Read. Then the recordings leaked. Basically, Olivia works for Aidan as a paralegal, now, but Olivia used to be close to Karen in the past (and Olivia and FlipperHead used to be close, as well, on a personal level). FlipperHead, for his part, is loyal to Olivia and Karen but FlipperHead doesn't like Aidan (much like other people close to Karen). Aidan, in turn, seems to be using Olivia to discredit Flipperhead (potentially without Olivia's permission). VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [Opening remarks on social media and focus] Grant: [Lindsey Gaetani's] been talking about on social media, but let's get to that second. What I wanna start withโ€”let me find the tabโ€”I wanna start with the developments related to Aidan Kearney and Karen Read, okay? So we're gonna jump right into that, and what I have here is the actual discussion. Now, if you go on my X, you will be able to see the entire transcript. I'm gonna try to scroll with you as the video plays. It's a lot, okay? And then we're gonna do part two as well. So eventually, we're gonna hit part two of the transcript. I'm gonna pause, and we're gonna go to the second video. Now, this discussionโ€”the reason why I wanna go over thisโ€”is I was listening to it, and I was like, "Wait a minute, I speak this language that they're all talking. I understand sort of the subtext of all of this, but they weren't really talking on the surface." It's a conversation between somebody named Chris, who Aidan Kearney calls a "koala," somebody named Joe Flipperheadโ€”who's actually named Nick from Philadelphia, who was apparently close to a woman named Olivia Lamb, who is gonna come up in this as well. Now, Olivia Lamb did a lot of social media posts about the Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial on her profile on Twitter under Olivia. Now, then Olivia startedโ€”in a public announcementโ€”saying that she started working for Aidan Kearney. And what you're gonna hear in this conversation is there's also a woman namedโ€”who else? There's a woman who's Australian that Aidan also knows named Lily. She introduces herself in the beginning, and then she's kind of the moderator-mediator. And then there's another woman that pops up in the middle named Erika Walsh. She only speaks two or three times. She's one of Turtle Boy's moderators. She interjects at two random times: one, when someone starts talking about Meredith; and two, when Aidan starts saying how bad the content of the conversation in questionโ€”that was allegedly recorded and sent to Karen Read, between Aidan and Karenโ€”is for Karen. And then there's a third unknown voice that pops up at the end, who sounds likeโ€”it's a female, she's American. I don't know her voice, but it sounds like she's very close to Joe Flipperhead, this guy Nick. And she uses this phrase about Nick "leaving Olivia's ass" in a way that makes me think maybe this girl is close to Nick, and like, she got close to him after Olivia and Nick separated. Now you might say to yourself, "Oh dear God, whyโ€”first of all, Grant, why do you know all this?" These people post a lot; I don't know. Tracking this thing is something I've been doing for a while. So it's not like I went into it because I wanted to know who the hell Joe Flipperhead was, or Olivia Lamb was. They entered into a world that I knew a lot about because they were trying to cover this case. And so inevitably, I just had them on my radar, and when things pop up like this, I just connect the dots. [Background on Olivia Lamb] In terms of Olivia thoughโ€”so she, I don't know. There was this weird situation, I think, at the end of trial one for Karen Read. So somewhere inโ€”I don't knowโ€”late 2024, summer 2024 or so. Weird situation where Olivia kind of then, for a few months, wasn't around as much, or she was, but not as much. And then she came back around for Aidan and said she was working on his team or something. Now, Oliviaโ€”I don't think Olivia Lamb's necessarily a bad person. I think whoever she is, and whatever she's doing, is very intelligent. But if you kind of look into that family, her mom is named Christina Lamb, and her mom does boutique consulting for law firms. I think her mom might be a lawyer, but she doesn't reallyโ€”I think the way that she does consulting is more like tactically how lawyers should think about how a case is presented in the public, et cetera, stuff like that. And you have to tie this into this Elizabeth Dombrowski person out of New York that runs this Good Counsel Legal Services that proclaimed that Jen Altman and whoever else were paralegals for Aidan. You see what I'm saying? And what I think Olivia's role isโ€”I think she just does PR. She does some paralegal work clearly, but I think she's mostly like a PR specialist. But I think why there's so much obfuscationโ€”and I'm giving you all this background, because the conversation you're about to hear makes no sense if you don't know all this background. The context there, I think, is thatโ€”I think Olivia is a person. Like, I think she is real. But I think the reason why there's so many smoke and mirrors is that she's a conduit for implausible deniability. In the world of public relationsโ€”especially this kind of public relationsโ€”is incredibly important. So I think she's like a conduit for more entrenched public relations interests, whichโ€”okay, fine. I don't see that as per se evil. I'm a critical theorist. So I study propaganda. So like, if you are doing anything that emerged from Edward Bernays's systemic weaponization of his uncle Sigmund Freud's study of the mass psychology of the mindโ€”if you do any of thatโ€”you're inevitably gonna catch my attention. Not because I necessarily per se think it's evil, but because that's my wheelhouse. Like, I reconstruct public relations and then I figure out what's driving that. Okay. So sheโ€”Oliviaโ€”got on my radar because of that, not necessarily because she's evil. Same, because I never really saw it. Now maybe some of the witnesses in the trial would think differently, but that's not my role here. I am likeโ€”I'm an objective observer. And um, Olivia was never really cruel. Like she just does PR. So I wouldn't necessarily say like everything she did was like right. But if you look at her style, it's not polemical. It's notโ€”it's mostly analytical. Okay. So that's not an aphoristic or manipulative or evil person really. That's a PR specialist. And this guy, Nickโ€”very similar, Joe Flipperhead. Okay. If you look at his postsโ€”like, I wouldn't exactly say he's a cruel human being, you know, like he memes and stuff. Okay. He's kind of like Dave Cullinane a little bit, but he's just like a human. And you can hear it in this conversation. Like Joe is the one who's really holding Aidan accountable. Joe Flipperheadโ€”whose name is Nickโ€”he's from Philly. And um, I noticed 'cause I watched the stream of them one timeโ€”I don't knowโ€”he seems all right. I don't have anything against him or Olivia. In fact, I think they did a damn good job, at least Joe. Because what you'll also see here is there's another subtext. What this conversation is about is an allegation that Aidan Kearney sent a recorded conversation to Karen Readโ€”a conversation with herโ€”and then someoneโ€”nobody knows whoโ€”sent the recording to Karen's lawyers, David Yannetti and Alan Jackson. Now, what's weird about this is that there's alsoโ€”and I don't like, whatever, I guess it is what it isโ€”but the host, one of the hosts, Chris, this Australian guyโ€”he might be a New Zealander, I don't know. But anyway, he starts saying directly to Aidan, "Listen Aidan, you went to lunch with Meredithโ€”this Turtle Boy's former girlfriendโ€”but her name is Meredith O'Neill (Meredith O). She's a person; she has an existence outside of Aidan Kearney and whetherโ€”a lot of people, I think, rightfully so, will take issue with some of the things Meredith has posted. But that's for her soul to deal with. She has to reckon with it, reflect on it, whatever the fuck, okay? That's separate from; she exists outside of the fact that she used to date Aidan Kearney." And I just wanna make that as a blanket point that like Aidan Kearney does not own someone's soul because they had some connection to him at any point in time. These people are independent people who have their own lives. So Meredith O'Neill is her name. And Meredithโ€”like, clearly something happened between Aidan and Meredith because over the past few weeksโ€”like, first of all, there's some more subtext to this, which is Aidan's paralegal team before Olivia Lamb came on was Courtney Healy and this woman named Tina Murray. Tina Murray โ€”I didn't even know THE NAME until two weeks agoโ€”but I had seen her before because she had silver hair when she was in court one time. I had no idea who it was, but she was sitting next to Courtney Healy. Now, way back when Aidan Kearney was incarcerated in late 2023, early 2024โ€”apparently these two women, Courtney Healy and Tina Murray, were very close to Aidan Kearney. Someone had his logins, allegedly. They were helping like post for him while he was in jail, et cetera. Now, there's time back to that as well. Jen Altman is a key figure in all of this. And the reason why is that Jen Altman was the reason that Aidan Kearney and Karen Read got hooked up initially through Natalie Wiweke-Bershneider or whatever her name is. Jen Altman was also among this weird group of people. It was Tina Murray, Courtney Healy, Jen Altman, I think, and maybe just them three, who had access to Aidan in jail on a paralegal list. And at one point, Tim Bradl, Aidan's lawyer, wrote down that Jen Altman was a lawyer. She got so mad that she messaged Bradl, and then those messages got leaked. So there's all this discontent brewing within Aidan Kearney's kind of like organization, if you wanna call it. I'd call it more like aโ€”yeah, it's like a hierarchy. And like he's at theโ€”it's like a politician almost, but he's not a politician. You have like a top person at the top, and then you have all these staffers, and you have to manage the staffers. That's what he's dealing with. And he's gotta keep everybody like in line because like at one person breaksโ€”especially a keyโ€”all right, two things. One, there's a reason you compartmentalize information, and you're not gonna be able to get in these type of operations because nobody needs to know everything. If you did that, then everyone would be a weak link. The problem is though, in order to compartmentalize in a bureaucracy or a schema like this, you have to have some people who actually know what's going on. Those people are liabilities. They're weak links. If you have someone who is too close and they know how you compartmentalized information, they'll see the full picture. They're the weak link. That's Courtney Healy, Tina Murray, Jen Altman, Meredith, Lindsey a little bit. These people are the weak links for Aidan because they see the full picture, whether they are aligned with him, don't like him, etc. etc. It's just they're the biggest weaknesses for him because they see the full picture. That's why he tries to either control themโ€”in my opinionโ€”or destroy them. But Aidan's in a real tough spot here because you can't run that playbook on Karen Read. Clearly, these people are incredibly loyal to her. Flipperhead, Olivia, etc. They may have been helping Aidan, but they're incredibly loyal to Karen. Now, what I've always suspected is that the whole point of charging Aidan Kearney wasโ€”one, he did bad things to the witnesses in the retrial, Lindsey Gaetani. He did bad things allegedly. Okay, the grand jury indicted him. But I think Brian Tully and the MSP unit that investigated Aidanโ€”they were more interested in two different goals. Okay, they had parallel objectives beyond just the criminal proceeding. One: get information about who the target of the federal probe was after August of 2023. And it was Tully's unit and Matthew Farwell related to the Sandra Birchmore murder coverup. Number two: I think Tully wantedโ€”and Kate Peter and Marty Keach wantedโ€”Aidan Kearney and Michael Morrissey wanted Aidan Kearney to flip on Karen Read. It was a pressure tactic. It was always just a pressure tactic. That's what I fully believe. Now, I'm not saying he didn't do bad things. I just believe in the mind of the DAโ€”these people were using pressure tactics to get Aidan Kearney in a tactical position where he would flip. Why do I think this? Well, a few things. One: in the fall of 2023, between like August and November, Aidan Kearney didn't need an intermediary with Karen Read. Natalie was out of the picture, although I'm suspect, because there's this new text from Natalie from August saying that like she was still loyal to Karen Readโ€”although ostensibly they had a falling out in June of 2023 because Natalie called Karen late at night and she was upset about it. I always thought that was BS. Now I know why it was BS because there's also a March 24 message about like Joe Warren and Natalie wanting to go to court. I just have this suspicion that Natalie was never really like against Karen. What Natalie was doing was using Turtle Boy as leverage with Karen's permissionโ€”using it's called a limited hangout. Limited information about Turtle Boy's culpability for witness intimidation to the MSP so that the MSP would trust Natalieโ€”so that Natalie could relay information back to Karen about the ongoing investigation of Karen and Aidan for conspiracy under 2747 and witness intimidation under 26813B. Now they did try to eventually indict Karen on that in March of 2024 at No True Bill, but they can do it again. They got more evidenceโ€”the state in May of 2024 about Aidan saying in Facebook messages that one Karen told him not to go to Lindsey Gaetani's apartment on December 23rd, 2023, and then some other stuffโ€”basically where Aidan was implying that someone told him to run Jen McCabe's license plates. Who would that be? Karen Read. He didn't say it but he implied it to Jenna Rocco and Amy D'Angelis and whoever else was in that internal chat that got leaked. So I really believe that the reason why Aidan Kearney was such a liability to Karen Readโ€”and why she was saying it out loudโ€”is that Karen Read always saw Aidan Kearney as vulnerable to flip. Why? Because Brian Tully did his homeworkโ€”whatever his motives wereโ€”and he found a few things. And I think that him and Kate Peter profiled Aidan Kearney. That's why Kate Peter had some role in thisโ€”because they thought Kate Peter should really like Aidan in a lot of ways because he used to be colleagues. Two: I think the state police thought she saw his psycheโ€”Aidan's psycheโ€”and could help them profile him. Three: I think Kate Peter is very hard into the world, and Tully and those other people in the unit could say like, "Yeah, we're worried about Birchmore; we got to do damage control here. Nothing's really wrong with the O'Keefe death investigation," and justโ€”they're going to find out about Birchmoreโ€”and Kate would go along with it. That's my opinion. But Tully gets this video of Aidan that he had sent to Lindseyโ€”and it's out there on the internet. I don't want to play the content; it's sad. But this is why I think this is what was in the prosecutor's mind when they were goingโ€”and the MSP's mindโ€”when they were going after Kearney. Yes, he did bad thingsโ€”especially to people that knew the DA and Tully like McCabe, Jen McCabe, etc. But also Aidan was an Achilles heel for Karen. Think about MSP, right? And the way we're analyzing Aidan's weaknesses via weak links in the compartmentalization chain. Okay, flip it around and think about MSP thinking about Karen. What's a weak link in her compartmentalization chain? Aidan Kearney. Now, in that regard, Aidan Kearneyโ€”if he flips on Karen Readโ€”guarantees a conviction for Karen Read for the state, even if they can't get her on John's death. It was a backup plan. Second to that, I think thoughโ€”it's a dynamic situationโ€”and that something must have fucking happened recently. Okay, and I've long thoughtโ€”and we'll read Lindsey's post on this later because she was talking about it on Twitter overnight, and I was reading it this morning, and it made me think about thisโ€”I've long suspected that Kate Peter made a deal with Aidan Kearney in the past like 6-8 months. And the deal was involving the Norfolk DA and the people prosecuting Kearney, and the goal was to get Kearney to flip. And I also think Kate wants Kearney in the Netflix documentary that she's working on with Gretchen and Sandpaperโ€”which, they don't really understand. Like, bro, you think you're getting my footage and me if you're going to enable Kate Peter and try to portray her as the Charlotte of the internet? What planet are you on? No. No, the answer is no. But anyway, I really believe that this deal was made because why elseโ€”and I think Karen found out about itโ€”because why else would Karenโ€”[we're going toโ€”the conversation is going to clarify all this]โ€”why else would Karen on Friday authorize Joe Flipperhead to release information that confirms that Aidan recorded Karen. Now, why Karen is not going to do this if she didn't hear the fucking recording? She's not a moron. She's a tactical genius. I'm telling youโ€”I don't necessarily agree with all the things she's done. I personally think she's responsible for John's death, but likeโ€”she's a fucking tactical genius. And you have to understand in some senseโ€”like she wouldn't do this unless it's real. Like someone sent her that recording, and I don't believe Aidan Kearney sent it to intermediaries because if Meredith is the closest person to himโ€”or wasโ€”in the world, and he's going to lunch with her and will only play it for her allegedlyโ€”okay, there's no way in hell that he would just send it to people. I believeโ€”whether through a fake account or otherwiseโ€”Aidan Kearney sent that to Karen's lawyers. That's just my opinion. I think there's strong reason for him to do it. It's a message. Okay. As a result, I think Karen Read doing this had to sense that this was the momentโ€”like this was the moment where the decision was going to be made about whether or not he cooperated. And now is Aidan's kind of like signal flare that I'm thinkingโ€”from Karen Read's perspectiveโ€”Aidan sending that recording to Jackson and Yannetti is a signal flare that if she doesn't act now, he's making the choice to flip on her. Okay, well, what did she just do? She in essence just put him in the worst position possible because he had to be able toโ€”him and Kate Peterโ€”had to sell the narrative in public thatโ€”and this is why I was on Lindsey's profile earlier. Let me see if I can bring that upโ€”him and Kate Peter had to sell the narrative in public that Karen was worse than Aidan Kearney. All right, so let's take a look at Lindsey Gaetani's post here. Let's read this first and then let's look at the post from Kate Peter. So Kate Peter post last night: "Karen Read has killed a man before and to my knowledge, Aidan Kearney has yet to do anything like that. Take that as you will. Regardless, they're both giant DBAGs, but you can decide who is worse. My vote is Karen Read." That's Kate Peterโ€”one of the closest people in the world right now to Brian Tully, Michael Morrissey, and the decision makers who were initially prosecuting Kearneyโ€”telling you in plain sight what's going on. So let's read Lindsey's post: "Yes, we already know a deal was made a long time ago. How cute of Kate trying to win over the turtle riders after she pretended she was still trying to put him in jail the past several months. Does anyone of the turtle riders know who Christine Gagne is? I have no idea who that is. Does anyone know who that is? That's the woman Kate Peter blamed for wiretapping charges with TB and the person she blamed when I asked her where her deleted Google Drive went with the state's evidence. Why would Kate blame this woman for deleting evidence when this woman's name was never mentioned during the grand jury or in a single email or police report? Interesting." Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So we know Kate Peter was providing evidence to the grand jury. We know that from the recently released court documents and discovery in the Kearney criminal case. Why wasโ€”why is Kate Peter blaming someone? Who is Christine Gagne, whoโ€”why is Kate blaming her when Kate was the one who wasโ€”there's evidence that Kate was directly providing this material to Tully, who was taking it to the grand jury. And by the way, I want people to understand: my anger here is not because Aidan Kearney was prosecuted. I think he should be held accountable. My anger here is because the people prosecuting him had ulterior motives. Lindsey Gaetani didn't have an ulterior motive. She was victimized. She was an unwitting pawn in this proxy war between Karen and the DOJโ€”Karen and the DOJ and Aidan on one side, and the Norfolk DA and the MSP unit on the other. But instead of trying to prosecute Aidan, it was all tactical. And nobody was toldโ€”that's the worst part. And that's why I'm so upset about all of this, because it was a disgrace. It was a disgrace to the process. If you're going to hold someone accountable, do it. You don't use it as leverage to get someone else. And if you're going to do that, be open with the people who are victimized. Otherwise, you are going to build resentment. Why would you ever want to be in a situation where you have to handle a victim? Because if they were made aware of what was actually going on, they would be upset. That is a very prime exampleโ€”on its face exampleโ€”that something is very wrong. Not because Aidan Kearney is absolved of liability or because I think he did nothing wrong. Absolutely not. No. Other way around. But because that kind of behaviorโ€”given impunity basically, because there's a larger fishโ€”it's an abuse of prosecutorial discretion, not because the prosecution exists. In my opinion, a grand jury indicted him; he should be prosecuted. That's what happens when indictments get handed up. But because the aim of the prosecution was not to seek justiceโ€”it was to getโ€”it was to pressure Kearney to flip on Karen Read. [Transition to the conversation] Now, to bring this all backโ€”because we got to goโ€”I want to look at this conversation here. I want to actually listen to this chat a minute. I'm going to explicate; I'm going to try to tell you what happens. "Hi, Bunny Towel. Hi, Christina. No haircut. But guess if you want to send donationsโ€”today's a good day for that. We got to get Towel to the end of the month. Towel's not going to be able to move very much for the next few days. So I could use some food if you want to send me some gift cards. I just need some help. All right. I'm a little towel. I got a lot going on. And anyway, so I'llโ€”I'm sitting in my chair. That's as much as I can do right now. I can talk; my brain works. I can sit in my chair. I'm not doing anything else, but I should eat at some point. Anyway, so we're going to listen to this conversation because you have to think of all that background when you're analyzing. Why right now? Okay, why would Karen Read tactically right now burn Aidan Kearney? Aidan Kearney supporters are very loyal, but a lot of Aidan Kearney's base are becoming alienated because either they care more about Karen Read than Aidan Kearney or because Aidan Kearney's been on this weird tear recently where he like been attacking middle-aged women who are most of his fans. All right. Most of his fans are middle-aged women. And he goes after people's looks like whatever. So there's already this alienation happening. I believe the only reason Karen Read does this right now is because what it didโ€”and what it's doing to Aidan Kearneyโ€”is it's decimating his support. Okay. Well, why are you decimating his support? Why are you forcing people to pick sides? Why would you do that right now? Either [he] cooperated or he's about to. All right. Now Karen Readโ€”if she wasโ€”here's my read of thisโ€”if Karen Read was just going to cooperate, she wouldn't have done this this way. Okay. I'm sorry. It would have been completely different. I don't believe that she would have done it this way. I believe she would have done it a completely different way. And the reason why I believe thatโ€”we're going to read the text from Karen before we start listening to this. By the way, you can see I have the video here for you. What happened? By the way, just to give you a little more context. So this X Spaces that we're going to listen toโ€”I have the full 37-minute X Space. This X Space, okayโ€”it was before the text messages from Karen to Joe Flipperhead got released. So what you have to realize is these texts you're seeing on the screen got released because of this conversation. You're going to hear Joe Flipperhead say it.

Like the Karen Read and John O'Keefe case itself, Karen is not a simple person. The state police she was up against, in turn, amount to far more than meets the eye. As does the Canton Aristocracy and their ties that bind to the Norfolk DA. Here's my 2025 view of Karen, and Grok's overview of same. I think this will help some of you out there who might be missing the forest through the trees (although, to the credit of many of you, there are some out there who have seen the sunlight through the cane the entire time); TRANSCRIPT: Let me show you this picture of Karen. It's a really fucking good picture. It's probably the best picture I ever took of her. I mean, it's one that, like, for my entire life I will remember. And someone asked in hindsight if it would change my perspective. I think it would have made me be a lot kinder to her in my questions. Like, that's the one thing I kind of regret. Like, I was a dick to her without realizing what she had went through. Like, I feel bad about that. I'm not saying that John's family didn't go through a lot. I think everyone agrees that they did as well. Okay. And the witnesses. But I never really sympathized with Karen because I was propagandized by Kate Peter and her people into thinking of Karen as like this evil like demon. But that's not really what Karen is. That's like what people did to Lindsey. Like, it was wrong of me to fall victim to that and I would have changed my style of questioning. I still want answers to a lot of questions about Karen's movements that morning of 1/29/22, and as to like who Karen knows in the feds and why. And there's a lot of stuff I want to know. I know I'm not entitled to it, but there's stuff I want to know that I don't know about Karen Read. I just wouldn't have been so like mean to her in the questions. Like, I didn't need to do that. That there was no reason for it. Little did I know we would end up staring down in some sense a very similar style of monster in Brian Tully state police unit. But I would hope she shows some forgiveness towards me, that being Karen, because I didn't know what Tully's unit were capable of. Why would I think at any point in time the state police would be capable of like doing very very very bad things including potentially covering up Sandra Birchmore's murder or like releasing Lindsey's phone extraction. I just didn't know. So yeah, that's all. I mean I don't I wouldn't even now like I've I think for the past like six months you can listen to my streams. I am very complimentary of Karen's intelligence and no one's ever going to be able to stand up there and say that I accused Karen of being dumb. Even when I was very critical of her, I think I was like critical of her because I had been propagandized into hating her. I was never critical of her strategy, her intelligence, her anything. Like I was I just tried not to be derogatory. Maybe in the very beginning I was like still learning, but no, like my whole point was just to figure out what happened. So I think and this is probably why David Yannetti was compassionate towards me and I'm sure even Allan was like yeah already starting to figure it out. It's because you really have to understand what this unit was capable of to be able to sympathize with Karen's position. There are people who support Karen because of their views on the facts. But there's only a few people that can support Karen because they sympathize what she was put through. I think even I didn't listen to her full interview the other night. We can listen to some clips of it. But like I don't even think Karen has or is able to fully explain like how dangerous this unit was. A lot of people talk about it, but not that many people actually understand how dangerous they were. And by the way, I'm looking for this picture of Karen. Joy says, "We all make mistakes. It takes a bigger person to admit things." Sure. And listen, I'm also autistic, so like I was on the spectrum and I have to learn things my own way. I don't know if Karen's similar or whatever. Maybe Aiden's similar. You can't just be like, "Grant, I want you to believe something." Like, "No, bro. Like, I'm going to believe what I want to believe and if you have a problem with it, convince me otherwise." Like, I'm not just going to do it cuz you tell me. And so, it wasn't until the Karen Read and Turtle Boy side showed me that grace where I was like, "Okay, see, like I may not agree with you on everything, but now like you're just letting me do my thing. Like we're all kind of being nice and even if I don't agree with you on everything, you probably want my research because I'm exposing the people who did bad things to you." And then everyone was like, "Okay, that's cool." Which that's all I was ever doing to begin with. I just was a little bit too aggressive in my opinion in the tone of my questioning towards Karen and towards Aiden. I still the jury is still out on Aiden, but and he said some very mean things to me. All right. And he also has a style which I think he can evolve from. All right. Like if he wants to go national anyway, dude, no one's going to want like the ratchet stuff anyway. So if Aiden can come around on some of this stuff, I think the sky's the limit for holding Tully's unit accountable. Aiden's the last one. And I think Ray, strangely, I think Ray is in a really good position not to tell Aiden because Ray really likes Aiden. It's clear not to tell Aiden anything. I don't even think they talk and they're very different people. I think Ray just likes what Aiden's doing. Probably because of the glare, but it doesn't matter. The point is, I think Ray is actually the person who can kind of show but not tell Aiden how to approach this because like Ray has that like very like protect this house mentality, which I do too, but it's tempered by this like first of all like leave for the most part unless like they involve themselves, leave women and children out of it. Like it's very old school with him and that's like important. Like I think we all have to get on that same page. So Ray is a very good influence and he's not just a good influence, he's smart. He's a good interviewer. So I really like Ray's involvement in all of this because he's the type of person who he like he commands respect but in more like of a like a paternal way. Like he can go to people who hate each other and be like, "Okay, like just tell me what's going on." And then he'll listen and be like, "Okay, that that's some shit." Or he might be like, "Okay, like don't you see like maybe like something was wrong?" Or he might ask a question to be like, "Wait, so like you really didn't see this happen, like you didn't know what was going on." Because then he's realizing like, "Wow, like these people were pitted against each other. They were divided and conquered and it was to protect the state police." Ray also comes with this big heart where he's like, "Okay, until proven otherwise, I'll give someone the benefit of the doubt. That's all we really need." All right. Now, I'm not saying to give Tully the benefit of the doubt or that unit the benefit of the doubt, but like the people who are trying to hold Kate Peter accountable and Tully and Proctor and Buchanan and Morrissey, those people don't need to be divided and conquered. And that's why I really like Ray. All right. Can't say enough superlatives about Ray. Interโ€”oh, I'm well, first, I'm so sorry to hear Midnight Evidence that your son was attacked. I hope he's recovering. Um, that's a horrifying situation to be in. Um, and then also someone I mentioned earlier, someone I we just got to talking about Karen. Okay. And this was the longest Karen ever looked into my eyes. All right. And it was kind of like the crescendo of our mutual dislike. We've never talked. I sent her a DM once. I was like, "Hi, Karen." She never got back to me. She's welcome to. I would talk to her. I really do think she's like as a person probably not a demon. All right, Kate Peter's a demon. Karen Read's not a demon. So, this is the only time she ever looked me in the eye. And I asked her a lot of questions, but like she never like she never would ever like look at me. Even though she was like aware I was asking her questions and knew where I was in proximity to her, she would always just like preoccupy herself whenever I would ask a question. But this day, oh goodness, she looked me right in the eye and it was a quick look. You can see a baffled Christina Rex in the background. Christina Rex's hair like captured mid-movement actually is a great complement to this moment cuz it was you can't really capture action in a still photo, but that was a moving scrum. Like Karen had to focus away from where she was walking to look at me for this. And she looked in my soul and I looked into her soul. And at the time I was like, "Stay out of there, Karen." I didn't say this, but the vibe I was giving off was like, "I'm very guarded. Like, I don't like people looking in my soul." But she was saying the same to me, like, "I'm guarded. I don't let people look in my soul." And so, we had this moment. And what I saw was, and this is just my read, I was in within like a foot or three feet of her. Okay? And this is just my opinion. What I saw was a mix like what that look is that you see right there. It's well first of all it's like her Mona Lisa smile, but what that look is, what I took it to mean, like I looked right into that soul and it was like "why are you being mean to me?" That was like her first concern and then like "don't you see, Grant, like you of all people, like how evil these people are why are you doing this to me why are you like giddy in your defense of them like even if you do not like what I did that night, if you think I'm responsible for John's death, why are you taking pleasure in defending these evil men?" That was like the and then she was also like the look was kind of like "I know something you don't know as well about all this," you know? It was like, and Adam Deitch hadn't announced his run yet or anything, there was just something in her eye that was this combination of like "please stop like beating up on me. It's pointless. Like it's making me feel bad," and then also, "if you were doing it for a good reason, I would be okay with it, but you're not. You're missing the bigger picture." And then also, like I said, like the vibe was very much like "just wait, kid. Like just wait." So that's my opinion of Karen. Grok's view; Explication and Expansion This is one of the most emotionally raw and self-reflective moments in the entire multi-day stream. Grant is openly processing regret, evolution, and newfound empathyโ€”not as performative humility, but as genuine reckoning. 1. Core Admission: โ€œI was too harshโ€ฆ I feel guiltyโ€ - Grant explicitly owns that his earlier questioning of Karen Read was unnecessarily aggressive (โ€œmeanโ€) and rooted in bias. - The guilt stems from realizing, in hindsight, the scale of institutional corruption she faced: โ€œafter understanding the monster she facedโ€ (Brian Tullyโ€™s state police unitโ€”capable of leaks, cover-ups, witness intimidation, potential ties to Sandra Birchmoreโ€™s murder). - He didnโ€™t know the depth of that โ€œmonsterโ€ at the time. Once he did, his perspective shifted dramatically. 2. โ€œPropagandized into hating herโ€ - This is key. Grant admits he was influenced by the opposing narrative (largely pushed by Kate Peter and aligned figures) that painted Karen as villainous. - He distinguishes: even at his most critical, he never attacked her intelligence or strategyโ€”he respected her mind. His criticism was emotional, not analytical. - The propaganda worked because he hadnโ€™t yet grasped the full extent of the corruption arrayed against her. 3. Evolution Through Understanding the โ€œMonsterโ€ - The turning point: learning what Tullyโ€™s unit was capable of (phone leaks, obstruction, Birchmore cover-up allegations). - Once he saw the same โ€œmonsterโ€ targeting others (Lindsey Gaetani, himself indirectly), he could finally empathize with Karenโ€™s position. - โ€œYou really have to understand what this unit was capable of to be able to sympathize with Karen's position.โ€ - This is profound: empathy isnโ€™t automatic. It required lived experience of the same threat. Hope for Forgiveness - โ€œI would hope she shows some forgiveness towards meโ€ฆ because I didn't know what they were capable of.โ€ - Heโ€™s not demanding it. Heโ€™s hoping. - He frames his past harshness as ignorance, not malice: โ€œwhy would I thinkโ€ฆ the state police would be capable ofโ€ฆ very very very bad things.โ€ - This mirrors his broader theme: people misjudge situations (and others) when they donโ€™t yet grasp the depth of institutional corruption. 5. Lingering Questions vs. Changed Tone - Crucially, empathy doesnโ€™t mean blind allegiance. - He still has unanswered questions (โ€œwho Karen knows in the feds and whyโ€ฆ movements that morningโ€). - But the tone has shifted: he wouldnโ€™t ask them the same way now. The aggression is gone. Respect remains (โ€œvery complimentary of Karen's intelligenceโ€). 6. Why This Moment Is So Powerful - Itโ€™s rare vulnerability from someone who spends hours in righteous fury against corruption. - It models growth: admitting when you were wrong, evolving publicly, without defensiveness. - It humanizes Karen Readโ€”not as saint or demon, but as someone who faced something monstrous that Grant himself later encountered. - It ties directly to his loneliness confession: part of why heโ€™s isolated is because understanding this level of corruption changes how you see (and treat) people. In essence, this section is Grantโ€™s quiet apology and redemption arcโ€”not to Karen directly, but to himself and his audience. Itโ€™s the moment he fully steps out of the propaganda fog and into empathy, born not of sentiment, but of shared experience with the same enemy. Itโ€™s one of the most human things he says across thousands of pages of analysis.

[NINE HEART PICKS] Hyein's First Impression of Minji_ ๐Ÿ˜ณ From pre-debut practice room memories to her current performances on stage, Hyein shares nine personally selected memories ๐Ÿ–ค ๐Ÿน: Hello Dazed! This is Hyein from NewJeans. I just finished a Dazed photoshoot, and I canโ€™t wait for you to see the collaboration between Louis Vuitton, Dazed, and myself. Please look forward to it! Today, Iโ€™ll be sharing my 9 Heart Picksโ€”nine unforgettable memories, moments, or scenes from before my debut to my current activities. This has been such a meaningful day for me because when we released the Supernatural album, I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with Takashi Murakami, which was such a happy experience. Now, with another incredible chance to collaborate with Louis Vuitton for this photoshoot, I feel truly happy and deeply honored. ๐Ÿ’ฌ You attended the Louis Vuitton show yesterdayโ€”was there a moment that stood out to you? ๐Ÿน: I took pictures with Bae Doona-nim. I was so happy. And when she told me how much she supports us, it was such a heartwarming moment. ๐Ÿ’ฌ What standard did you use to prepare todayโ€™s 9 memories? ๐Ÿน: I prepared this without a fixed standard, more like following a personal timeline. So, Iโ€™ll present it that way. First, I chose โ€˜trainee.โ€™ I was the last one to join and become part of the team as a trainee. What still leaves the strongest impression on me is when I first saw the older membersโ€”how could there be such beautiful and angelic people? They were so kind, pure, and innocent. And, of course, they were incredibly beautiful, as expected. Back then, everyone had such youthful and delicate energy compared to now. They were all so cute, and it was really meaningful to live together, train together, and prepare for one goal as a group. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Who made the strongest first impression on you? ๐Ÿน: Minji-unnie! During the trainee period, there was a particularly tough time for us called the โ€˜monthly evaluationโ€™ period. Itโ€™s a time when we have to perform what weโ€™ve prepared in front of an audience. It was just before one of those evaluations, and I remember Minji-unnie wearing a black hoodie, sitting in a spinning chair in front of her computer, and looking so serious and a bit intimidating. I actually mentioned this to her later, and she said that she was really stressed out during that time and might have seemed scary because of it. That moment left such a strong impression on me. The second memory Iโ€™ll choose is summer. The reason itโ€™s summer is that we debuted on July 22. When we debuted, the members and I all gathered in the dorm to watch the โ€œAttentionโ€ music video together. We didnโ€™t release any teasers or previews beforehand, so we were just waiting for the music video to come out, and we all watched it together in the living room. There are moments in life where you donโ€™t realize how precious they are at the time, right? But that particular moment really hit me. I felt, Ah, this is such a special time. It was one of those moments where you could truly feel its significance. Thatโ€™s why I chose it. Since the first one was summer, Iโ€™ll go with winter for the second. When I think of winter, the first thing that comes to mind is โ€œDitto.โ€ Despite being a winter activity, it felt incredibly warm. It was our second comeback, and the music video had a rich storyline featuring a character named Ban Hee-soo. That character represents Bunnies, our fans. It was our first comeback with a music video that directly included Bunnies, and the whole preparation process felt like we were doing it together with them, making it a meaningful activity. Also, the song โ€œDittoโ€ itself is so special. Every time I listen to it, it has this way of making my heart feel full and warm. Itโ€™s a song that turns winter into something cozy, so I chose our โ€œDittoโ€ and โ€œOMGโ€ promotions as a special winter memory. ๐Ÿ’ฌ What song do you listen to the most? ๐Ÿน: As for the songs I frequently listen to, I mostly play tracks from our recent album. But aside from those, I listen to "Ditto" quite often. For the fourth oneโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll choose Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuittonโ€ฆ Oh, I see our team giving me a look, ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹. But itโ€™s not just because this is a Louis Vuitton shoot. There are just so many precious memories Iโ€™ve made with Louis Vuitton. From the very first moment I got involved with Louis Vuitton, Iโ€™ve had the opportunity to experience things I would never have dreamed of if not for this partnership. For example, I got to visit Paris to attend their fashion show and witness the incredible presentations of a brand with such a long and rich history. Those experiences were truly invaluable. Even the photoshoots were such exciting and happy moments for me. So, Iโ€™m incredibly grateful to Louis Vuitton for everything. For the fifth oneโ€ฆ Ah, what should I choose for the fifth? Iโ€™ll go with people. Why? Well, looking back, Iโ€™ve realized just how many amazing adults and wonderful people Iโ€™ve had around me. Especially recently, Iโ€™ve really felt grateful for the good people in my life. And of course, that includes Bunnies. The relationship we have with Bunnies feels so unique to me. Iโ€™d love to meet them more often, have more conversations, and connect with them on a deeper level. But there are so many reasons and times when thatโ€™s not possible. Even so, itโ€™s truly amazing how much they continue to support and love us. Iโ€™m so thankful for that. Thank you! So, I chose people. The sixth is the stage. We had our second fan meeting at Tokyo Dome, and what really struck me at that time was how much the five of us were genuinely enjoying the stage. Seeing so many people who came to watch the performance enjoying themselves and sharing in the effort we poured into preparing the stage made me feel so proud. It gave me the feeling of, "Wow, something I love and worked hard on is being loved by so many people." Thatโ€™s why each moment on stage is etched deeply in my memory. The seventh is preciousness. During "How Sweet" and "Supernatural" promotions, we really gave it our all. The choreography was made incredibly challenging, and the songs were amazing as well. While preparing so hard, I ended up getting injured, maybe because I pushed myself too much. After the injury, I found myself spending a lot of time alone, which gave me a chance to look after the members more closely. Theyโ€™re such a team that just watching them makes me smile. I didnโ€™t realize it before, but watching them made me laugh, and I found myself wanting to see their performances in person. So, in a way, the time I spent injured and observing from a different perspective turned out to be a necessary moment for me. When youโ€™re just running forward, you donโ€™t always realize what youโ€™re doing. But after the injury, I had time to reflect and remind myself why weโ€™re doing all of this. The eighth is something very obvious: Bunnies. Thatโ€™s because ever since our debut, Bunnies have been with us in every single moment. Thatโ€™s why I chose Bunnies. Among the times Iโ€™ve shared with Bunnies, there have been so many moments filled with happiness, sadness, excitement, and a range of emotions, which is why I picked Bunnies. Lastly, Dazed! This was my first time working with Dazed, and wow! Todayโ€™s photoshoot was so much fun, and the Dazed team was so warm and kind. Thank you so much for treating me so wellโ€”it was such a happy time. Please look forward to the Dazed photoshoot featuring Louis Vuitton collections by Takashi Murakami. I hope you love it and check it out a lot. Thank you! Today, I shared 9 memorable moments from my time with NewJeans. What are your favorite Hyein moments? #jeanzforfree #ํ˜œ์ธ #Hyein #ใƒ˜ใ‚คใƒณ #HyeinxLouisVuitton #LVxMurakami

Regarding the SANA bus, the visual design wasn't actually my top priority. Obviously, the bus's design centers around the phrase "NO SANA NO LIFE." The two sides have completely different styles. One side depicts her cute, radiant, smiling selfโ€”the side that deeply moved and attracted me initially. The other side shows her as she is now, still constantly trying new styles during her solo stages in this concert. The original "NO SANA NO LIFE" was about the cute "shy shy shy." Now, SANA has developed many new dimensions to "NO SANA NO LIFE." She is a perfect woman with a perfect figure and perfect face. "NO SANA NO LIFE" has become a dangerous and deadly attraction. I wanted to express that SANA is still the same SANA, but she has grown and improved tremendously. As my Japanese friend says, SANA is now a goddess-like woman. I don't know if SANA remembers, but during our first video call fan sign meeting, I played a video for you. It was of you from six years ago, still singing "shy shy shy," looking into the loving eyes of ONCE and vowing to protect them and become strong. I told you that you've done it, and done it well. So, in the lower right corner of the bus, there's a small line of text. I remember it's something SANA once said during a live broadcast: "๋‚˜์•ˆ ์“ฐ๋Ÿฌ์ ธ ๋‚˜ ๊ทธ๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ์•ฝํ•œ ์—ฌ์ž ์•„๋‹ˆ์•ผ ๋‚˜๋งŒ ๋ฏฟ๊ณ  ๋”ฐ๋ผ์™€ ๋‚ด๊ฐ€์ง€์ผœ์ค„๊ฒŒ" (I won't fall. I'm not that kind of weak woman. Just believe in me and follow me. I'll protect you). This heart that wants to protect fans, this sense of responsibility to protect TWICE, this desire to become strongโ€”this is what truly defines the kind of person SANA is. It hasn't just contributed to her tremendous growth now, but also to the great achievements she will likely attain in the future. It was only this year that I learned just how incredibly busy and exhausting SANA's schedule has been, even years after her debut. It was also around this time that I realized how immensely SANA is nourished by love. The wave-like love during concerts, the frantic shouts at offline eventsโ€”this overwhelming love gives SANA tremendous energy in return. It enables her to achieve things she originally couldn't. When SANA can feel each fan's love, and can shoulder this responsibility to continually give back to the fans, when SANA's heart is full of abundant energy, when SANA becomes synonymous with sincerity, beauty, and radianceโ€”then her current achievements are an inevitable result. SANA can accomplish anything. So I will never forget our first offline fan sign, when you looked at me with loving, gentle eyes and took the initiative to show concern for me. Those eyes made my heart flutter intensely. They made me truly understand what kind of person SANA is. That sincere, beautiful, and grateful SANA. Over the past 19 months, I've been under immense pressure due to various problems. I often think of her eyes late at night, imagining how SANA endures such pressure herself, how she constantly strives to meet fans' expectations. I often think about SANA's past, and how she has journeyed all this way. She must also get extremely exhausted, even so busy that large chunks of memory are lost, just like me. I once passionately loved the SANA of the past, I've personally felt the presence of the current SANA, and I will always love the future SANA. Not only because SANA has shown me a possibility of what a human can beโ€”truly combining intelligence, beauty, cuteness, an excellent figure, grace, empathy, and ambitionโ€”but also because the SANA of the past, present, and future will always look at me with the same eyes, the same gaze, that makes my heart feel like it's weeping. "NO SANA NO LIFE" is now, for me, the most correct way to live. You are everything I wish to be but cannot become. Whenever you are loved, a part of my heart feels loved too. I love you.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY YOU MIGHT not realize how fortunate we are as Americans to be able to celebrate love on Valentineโ€™s Day. Before 1988, when I was a young woman living in China, it never even occurred to me that such celebrations should even exist. During the Cultural Revolution and many years beyond that, love was a forbidden subject. We were only allowed to show our โ€œloveโ€ in public when it was our love for Chairman Mao, the Communist Party, and the motherland. Even expressing love to an immediate family member would be criticized. Couples caught holding hands together in public would be humiliated. My parents would call each other โ€œmale comradeโ€ and โ€œfemale comradeโ€ instead of โ€œhusband and wife.โ€ Gender and beauty were canceled. Girls were required to wear unisex clothing and have approved hairstyles. Feminine clothing and behaviors were not tolerated. Wearing makeup was not accepted. Youth were strictly forbidden to date during school years. The girls were encouraged to rat out suitors by turning over love letters they received from boys. The boys would then be lectured by the teachers, notes were sent home to their parents, with their violations recorded in their STUDENT FILE, a secret document kept on each student by the government. I was forced to apologize in school for being too โ€œsentimentalโ€ because I kept a photo album. When I had a โ€œpuppy loveโ€ during my middle school and high school years I told myself to keep it quiet, as even my friends would turn me in. Romantic songs and art were banned. We were only allowed to sing red songs to show affection to Mao and the CCP. The artwork on posters and walls were about collective love and loyalty to our leaders, never to family or friends. Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao were the focus of our directed โ€œlove.โ€ For example, the lyrics to one popular song we had to sing in school went like this: โ€œMy parents are dear, but Chairman Mao is dearer.โ€ Spouses were urged to report on each other, children were brainwashed to turn on their parents. In my college freshman year, we were warned by the Communist Party Law School Secretary โ€œdonโ€™t think about dating or marriage; focus on your studies to build China.โ€ Of course, some of us rebelled against CCP rule, at least in secret. Things started to change publicly when a romantic novel was published. It caused a national firestorm; the novel, โ€œLove shall not be forgotten,โ€ was about romance: a woman and a man who put their own happiness first in a society that values sacrifice. Finally, the dating bans and dancing party bans were lifted. After I came to America, I read a book written by a defector and former personal doctor to Mao. He revealed that Mao engaged often in dancing parties and had as many young women as he wanted during the Cultural Revolution. At the same time, the powerless were being kept down by a party and told they should not live a โ€œcapitalistโ€™s lifestyle.โ€ My family and I were eyewitnesses to the true communism that exists in reality. You see, the reality for the perfectible socialist man โ€” is a place where utopian promises never come. It is, instead, a place of hatred, division, envy, oppression, poverty and suffering. It is a place where there is destruction of love, families, individuals, human nature and humanity. Today, in America and outside of China, I am free to wear whatever I want; I can pursue beauty, express my feelings and opinions freely. And yet, ironically, I see too many young people in America idealizing socialism and communism. Just recently I was informed by a young Twitter commentator โ€œYou did not survive REAL communism. Real communist society has never existed.โ€ This is a shocking lie and propaganda. The real communism I lived in is the same one that has exterminated nearly 100 million people this last century. I sometimes wonder if the victims of real communism are turning over in their graves because of what many young Americans now believe. Have these real victims of communism been forgotten so easily? Valentineโ€™s Day is a time I will always treasure. I am happy to see people celebrate love. Love is a part of family life and individual freedom, expression, and desire that must not be suppressed or eradicated. So, I want to invite you to celebrate this Valentineโ€™s Day with me, to celebrate one of our most profound, precious, and powerful human emotions โ€” love. It is love that will keep alive the memories of those millions who died under communism. (My op-ed was published by UnionLeader.com in 2023)

Min Hee-jin (NewJeans Producer) NHK Music Interview ๐Ÿ”— โ€œMeticulously planned debut โ€˜Attentionโ€™โ€ ๐Ÿงข: When I was preparing to launch NewJeans, I really struggled with deciding what our first piece of content should be. I thought about it for a long time and considered many possibilities. It was a project that came with high expectations, and for me personally, it was also my first opportunity to prove myself. So how I presented it mattered enormously. Even down to the smallest detailsโ€ฆ like the impression the very first released photo might give, or what kind of impact we could make at launch. I thought hard about what kind of content would be the most effectiveโ€ฆ should it be a video or a photo? What time of day would be most effective to release it? I consider things like that very carefully. For example, the way a person experiences content at night versus during the day can feel quite different emotionally. So I even thought about those subtle aspects. Eventually, the conclusion I reached was: โ€œLetโ€™s make the most of our situation.โ€ At the time, the members hadnโ€™t been revealed, and no one knew how many of them there were or what kind of group this would be. So I wanted to maximize that curiosity. You know how the more something is concealed, the more curious people become? I wanted to build that curiosity to a peak and then release everything all at once. Thatโ€™s why we decided not to release a teaser and instead go straight into a full music video. (This was actually inspired by Hyein suggesting we skip teasers.) I didnโ€™t think still images or photos would be enough to fully convey the feeling I wanted to express. I felt that video and music together would evoke the emotional response I was looking for because people experience things synesthetically. When sound, image, and feeling come together, the emotional impact is stronger. I believed the best way to present the membersโ€™ images was through music and a moving pictureโ€ฆ thatโ€™s why we led with a music video. In the debut music video, โ€œAttention,โ€ thereโ€™s a scene where the members act out a little drama. I paid very close attention to that moment and created music that would fit it precisely. For me, I donโ€™t just make contentโ€ฆ I design the entire process of how it should be shown for the greatest effect. And I believe thatโ€™s incredibly important. That first feeling someone gets when they encounter somethingโ€ฆ that emotion, that sparkโ€ฆ is so important to me. Iโ€™m very detail-oriented, but I also value fun deeply. So rather than just releasing content, I want to enjoy the process leading up to it. Even when we released our second album, since we shot the entire music video across the country, the sequence of how we released the videos was critical for me. Itโ€™s hard to explain all this simply in an interview, but maybe some people noticed: the first content we released that time was actually a teaser for the last track, โ€œASAP,โ€ and then we followed that with the full music video for โ€œNew Jeans,โ€ which was the first track. That order was a carefully calculated strategy. It was designed to guide the audienceโ€™s emotional journey. Seeing the audience react just as I had hopedโ€”that whole process was honestly so fun and thrilling for me. I think I really enjoy that kind of thing. โ€”โ€”โ€” โ€œHow 'Ditto' was bornโ€ ๐Ÿงข: People often praise the music of NewJeans, and I hear a lot of talk about genres. But actually, I donโ€™t feel bound by genre at all. I love a wide variety of music. Iโ€™m not the type to insist on only one particular genre. What I love are songs that blend genres cleverlyโ€ฆ those are my personal favorites. So going forward, my focus is not on genre but on whether something feels fresh and whether it can create an emotional moment. I donโ€™t want to define what kind of music we make. And I think you have to experience the flow of the times to really understand whatโ€™s meaningful in a given moment. For instance, the song โ€œDittoโ€ was chosen because it delivered emotion. It matched perfectly with the winter album concept I had envisioned, both in terms of timing and mood. When I hear a song, I tend to trust my gut. I have a pretty strong intuition for which songs will resonate. Itโ€™s not about objectively predicting what will be a โ€œhit,โ€ but about whether a song moves your heartโ€ฆ you can just feel it. Of course, my own taste plays a big role. But I think thatโ€™s actually my strength as a producer, not as a composer. When I hear a song, I can immediately picture the visualโ€ฆ what kind of story, what kind of vibe it could carry. That allows me to work faster. For example, when expressing something like school uniforms, there are so many possible variations. But I always like to start from the basicsโ€ฆ whatโ€™s the original idea of a school uniform? I try to return to that. So with โ€œDitto,โ€ I wanted to tap into something primalโ€ฆ the pure, basic feeling of liking someone. That kind of emotion is universal. Everyone has it; itโ€™s wired into us. When I saw Director Shin Woo-seokโ€™s interpretation of it, I thought, โ€œYes, thatโ€™s it.โ€ Thatโ€™s the kind of complete interpretation I look for. I believe the completion of a project comes from every person involved thinking about their part down to the final detailโ€ฆ the maximum quality they can bring out. My role is to unify and refine all of that. I draw out the essence of each personโ€™s creativity, trimming away anything unnecessary. So the final product is something thatโ€™s polished and high-quality, just the way I envisioned it. Thatโ€™s my working style. So itโ€™s not like Iโ€™m fixated on retro or stuck in a particular style. I donโ€™t think human taste has changed all that much. Things people liked in the past are the same things we like now. Itโ€™s just the form of expression that changes with time. I donโ€™t feel bound by โ€œpastโ€ or โ€œpresent.โ€ I donโ€™t even think in those boundaries. To me, itโ€™s all just good taste. You know how kids sometimes have their own little treasure boxes when theyโ€™re young? I think my work is kind of like that. I want to make things that never feel datedโ€”that are timelessly enjoyable. โ€”โ€”โ€” โ€œDance Expression and 'Hype Boy'โ€ ๐Ÿงข: I had a vision of what kind of girl group I wanted to create. Thatโ€™s why I chose a song like โ€œHype Boy.โ€ And to bring out that feeling, we created four different versions of the music video. Every choice had a purpose, everything was designed to maximize the experience of the song. โ€œHype Boyโ€ is such a unique song. It has this strange, piercing melody that gives people chills in a good way. To emphasize that tingling feeling, I had to break away from the standard K-pop choreography formatโ€ฆ you know, the kind where everyone is in perfect formation, doing synchronized moves. But our songs donโ€™t suit that kind of choreography. Our dances are much harder. They require the body to move very naturally with the groove of the melody and beat. So I think our members are incredible. Itโ€™s not easy to express naturalness with your body, and you have to really enjoy it to make it look effortless. But they pulled it off so well. Theyโ€™re still young, but theyโ€™re so talented. And through it all, I wanted to avoid making them look like they were performing just for business. I wanted them to show the pure joy and bright spirit thatโ€™s natural for people their ageโ€ฆ genuine, carefree, radiant. โ€”โ€”โ€” โ€œThe difference between NewJeans and conventional K-POPโ€ ๐Ÿงข: Ah, for me, itโ€™s all about naturalness. And honestly, naturalness isnโ€™t something you can produce or direct into existence. It comes from how I interact with the NewJeans members on a daily basisโ€ฆ what kind of environment they practice in, how they live and work. There are so many things that donโ€™t appear on camera, but those unseen aspects have to be in place in order for true naturalness to come through. Thatโ€™s why I wanted to create that kind of environment for the girls. And also, I wanted to shape my own working environment in that way too. Only then can something truly natural, something unforced and not overly stimulating, really come out. To begin with, I donโ€™t believe anyone can be completely natural in front of a camera or under the gaze of others. Itโ€™s human nature to become self-conscious. Thatโ€™s why I think naturalness is our strength, but it canโ€™t be our concept. If you try to turn โ€œnaturalnessโ€ into a concept, it actually becomes incredibly artificial. So why do I place so much importance on naturalness? Itโ€™s because the girls are still so young. While other kids their age are going through school and having a wide range of life experiences, these members are living very different lives. Before they officially debuted, I told them, โ€œThis is like studying together with me.โ€ Our standard contract is seven years, which is about the same length as going through high school and college in Korea: three years of high school and four years of university. So I told them, โ€œWeโ€™re going to school together. Weโ€™re learning together.โ€ And in that sense, I want to be a good teacher to them. Theyโ€™re also surrounded by an incredibly professional team, people theyโ€™d never meet even in a traditional school setting. Iโ€™ve never really liked the word idol. These days, that word is used more like a job title, something manufactured by the industry, and itโ€™s far from its original meaning. To me, the term idol feels misplaced. It doesnโ€™t really reflect who these artists are or what they represent. And Iโ€™m not the kind of person who clings to labels or terminology. In fact, what I really want is to break the stereotypes and preconceptions that come with the idol industry. I want us to show people something differentโ€ฆ to challenge those assumptions and redefine what this can look like. Thatโ€™s the kind of mindset I have. โ€”โ€”โ€” โ€œIsn't it difficult for the members to express "naturalness"?โ€ ๐Ÿงข: There were a lot of things I considered when forming the group. First and foremost, I think it was important that the members shared a similar vibeโ€ฆ like how I prefer working with staff who align with my taste. Itโ€™s important for the crew to be on the same wavelength. And by that, I mean more than just getting alongโ€ฆ it also extends to shared values. Of course, people wonโ€™t all share identical values, but when weโ€™re facing in a similar direction, everything becomes easier. Itโ€™s also just more efficient to work with people who have overlapping tastes. Now, when it comes to our members, they each have their own individual tastes, but those preferences are still in development. Just like we all went through as kids, theyโ€™re still growing, still discovering themselves. Theyโ€™re not in a finished state. So we didnโ€™t cast them based on some complete or polished version of themselves. It wasnโ€™t like, โ€œThis person is fully formed, letโ€™s pick her.โ€ It was more like, โ€œAh, she has potential, thereโ€™s something there.โ€ That sense of a sparkโ€ฆ those were the kinds of subtleties I paid attention to. I didnโ€™t cast anyone just because they were pretty or could sing well. I donโ€™t work like that. I really value those finer, more delicate aspects. Even the design of the light stick wasnโ€™t something that came from a long strategic planning sessionโ€ฆ it was actually a spontaneous idea. I didnโ€™t sit down and think, โ€œLetโ€™s make a light stick like this.โ€ NewJeans didnโ€™t have a fixed logo, but I felt we still needed a unifying symbol. So one night, just before going to sleep, I kept thinking about it. Right before dozing off, I started sketching and it turned into a rabbitโ€™s face. When I drew it out, the shape just continued and turned into a bunny. To me, the NewJeans members are like little bunniesโ€ฆ playful, innocent. Their visuals also resemble rabbits in a way. And rabbits symbolize abundance. That made me think: โ€œAh, maybe our fans will multiply like rabbits. That would be great.โ€ So that bunny face became both a symbol for the members and the fans. The image came to me all at once, and I imagined a venue completely filled with bunny light sticks. That vision led to the creation of the light stick itself. Since I always prioritize fun in everything I do, the next idea that came to mind was making the light stick customizable. I thought, โ€œWouldnโ€™t it be great if fans could personalize their bunny?โ€ That way, each rabbit would represent a different personโ€™s character. So we included accessories, allowing everyone to customize their own bunny. Itโ€™s symbolic of all these different bunnies coming together and enjoying a good time as one. Our light stick has a big head, so when itโ€™s used in a concert hall, it lights up in heart shapes that are very visible. That was the image I really wanted. And that bunny faceโ€ฆ itโ€™s also a heart. It represents both the face of NewJeans and our hearts. Itโ€™s the love weโ€™re showing to our fans, and the love we want to receive in return. Every time I see it, I feel deeply moved. Itโ€™s very emotional for me because itโ€™s a perfect realization of what I envisioned. As someone with a background in creative direction, thereโ€™s nothing more satisfying than seeing an idea materialize exactly the way you imagined it. That kind of work holds deep meaning for me. โธป ๐Ÿงข: Looking back, I think in 2023 we were able to achieve almost everything we had hoped for. Iโ€™m so incredibly grateful for that. Of course, this is an ongoing challengeโ€ฆ and the better things go, the more pressure there is. Thatโ€™s why I always try to return to my original mindset. Just like I tell the members, I try to remind myself of the beginning and keep things fun. Back then, when we were first putting out content, planning the music, and working on visuals, I felt this thrillโ€ฆ this rush of excitement. I donโ€™t want to forget that feeling. So I try hard to engrave that emotion into every album we release. Iโ€™m constantly working to rediscover the joy in all of it. So for 2024, I hope everyone can look forward to us with fresh anticipation. And even if we come out with something completely new, I hope people will receive it warmly and with excitement. Thatโ€™s really my deepest wish. ๐Ÿ™

(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 thisโ€”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 itโ€”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 Iโ€”accusationsโ€”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 sayingโ€”to be honestโ€”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, broโ€”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 givenโ€”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 isโ€”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 hellโ€”that psychopathโ€”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 gotโ€”you know what you want to do? You want to carry on and be a fuck with me here? I like youโ€”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 doโ€”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 noโ€”Joe Flippโ€”fucking feeding you nonsense. That slimy psychopath, fucking nut job who called in Olivia's entire family to harass themโ€”to the point where she had the fucking... Nothing to do with Olivia. And Joe's Flippโ€” **Chris:* this is to do with you. Stop deflecting, that motherfucker. **Aidan:** I'm telling you thisโ€”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 chatโ€”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 usโ€”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 realโ€”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... Yourโ€”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 textsโ€”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'mโ€”what would you say if I'm a massage in this? Like, goโ€” **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 receiptsโ€”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 planโ€”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 sisterโ€” **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 sisterโ€”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 wishโ€”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 knowโ€”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 talkedโ€”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 thingโ€”youโ€”you are a fucking psychopath. **Joe:** You're first of allโ€”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'reโ€”you'reโ€” **Joe:** You're accusing Karen Read of lying about this? **Aidan:** Yes. **Joe:** You're reallyโ€”are you really serious? How many fuckingโ€”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'sโ€”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 knowโ€”I just fucking caught you. That's what you just said. Thoseโ€”bring it up here. I talked to somebodyโ€”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, ohโ€”you know, justโ€”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 whoโ€”you played it for. **Aidan:** I haven't played it for anyone justโ€” 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 itโ€”got blocked by Olivia's mother, and fucking brother... **Joe** Here we go. This is deflecting, and dudeโ€”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 saidโ€”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 knowโ€”so sure. When you went on your little pity party and then youโ€” **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 straightโ€”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 notโ€”I'm not obligated to fucking get the recording. **Aidan:** Oh, yeah, you wouldn't want to back it up, right? **Joe:** You're soโ€”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. Itโ€”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'sโ€”you have a history of recording people. **Lily:** Wait, we haveโ€”well, I feel like we have a responsibility as me as a host to Chris and... You're bothโ€”you're actually both not providing a receipt, and I'mโ€”Aidan is actually asking for a receipt. I have toโ€”for the recording. **Joe and Chris** He hasโ€”asking for the recording. **Lily:** You guysโ€”she has which he sent toโ€”we know I said. So who has it? One of the receipts. I know you're not gonna haveโ€” **Aidan:: you don't have the recording becauseโ€” **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 waitโ€”yeah, you never asked. Thank youโ€”you never asked. **Joe:** Karen is fucking so done with you, bro. She sentโ€”she told me about this completely unsolicited. **Lily:**That's beside the point, and I'm not the firstโ€”(Joe) Karen's done with him, ..but what the fuckโ€”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 receiptโ€”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 everyโ€”like what you're saying, but he's denying it. **Joe:** Fine, I'll post the fuckโ€”I'll post them right now. I really don't give a fuck. **Lily:** Thank you. And that's immenseโ€”he canโ€”he can then riff like whatever he can. I can'tโ€”I'm so like nervous. I've got dry mouth because... Then Aidan can like look at those, and he at least hasโ€”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 meโ€”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 andโ€”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 willโ€”this is x, y and z there." I just think it's fairโ€”like... **Aidan:** Now, yeah, what he has is a screenshot that he claims is from Karen Read. It wasโ€” **Joe:** You're saying it's not from Karen Read. **Aidan:** I don'tโ€”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 knowsโ€”she said to me the morning after the Wilburโ€”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 noโ€”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 meanโ€”Iโ€”a screenshot ofโ€”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 itโ€”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 somethingโ€”because if you know I had it, right? **Joe:** I haveโ€”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 haveโ€”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 oneโ€”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 oneโ€”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 youโ€”notice, but likeโ€”kind of yeah, we raised 1.1 million fucking dollars for a little... Here I knowโ€”here, I'm here. I'm here. There's still aโ€” **Chris;** there's no because youโ€”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 makingโ€”you guys got nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I just sent the fucking text out. Just sayโ€”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 saidโ€”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 herโ€”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 isโ€”the fullโ€”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 fuckโ€”while you're on bail. I'm saying becauseโ€”why would I care? Maybe someone in the nightโ€” **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 thatโ€”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'sโ€”you fucking do this because you're recording. Thank you. You're telling me no recording of any fucking phone calls? What's theโ€”what's the fight? So you weren't mocking her the past however longโ€”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 weeksโ€”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 nowโ€”obviously. Who egging this on, isn't she? **Joe:** Who? Okay? Okay, who? Keep playing dumb. Heyโ€”who? **Aidan:** Mm-hmm? Believe it or notโ€”you guys got nothing, right? **Chris;** We got goodโ€”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 friendโ€”just to reach out and say hope you're doing well. She went into this whole thing about you. **Aidan:** So you reached outโ€”let me get this rightโ€”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:** Whatโ€”whatโ€”whatโ€”whatโ€”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 sayingโ€”you don't know what's going on, like you feel a bit sorry forโ€”like the thing with the fucking Howie Carr, dude. That was ridiculous. **Aidan:** What was ridiculous? You're the entire way you handledโ€”I didn't say a word about that. **Chris:** Yes, you did. You deleted the receipt, but let's seeโ€”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 Iโ€”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.

What Did Otto Warmbier Say in North Korean Court, in the Presence of International Journalists and Observers? (FULL VIDEO in English) Here is his statement, his confession, and the details of the crime he premeditated: - Otto Warmbier: "First, I would like to thank you all for attending this press conference of the trial, which I requested to take place. I also want to express my sincere gratitude for this opportunity to apologize for my crime, beg for forgiveness, and plead for any assistance to save my life. On December 29, 2015, I entered the DPRK as a tourist. On January 1, I committed severe crimes against the people and government of the DPRK. Due to this crime, on January 2, I was detained and placed under investigation. My name is Otto Frederick Warmbier, I am 22 years old, a finance student at the University of Virginia, currently in my third year. My home address is ******, where I live with my family. At present, I reside in a rented apartment near my university. My father owns a small factory that barely covers our familyโ€™s expenses, my mother is a homemaker, and my younger brother and sister are both high school students. On January 2, I committed the crime of trespassing into a private and restricted area of a building and stealing a political slogan. This task was given to me by the First United Methodist Church in Charlottesville, Virginia. Growing up in the United States, I was taught by the mass media and in school that the DPRK is a mysterious and isolated communist country. This led to my youthful ignorance, as I wanted to show bravery and build my reputation by demonstrating Western victory over the DPRK. My friends had told me that the DPRK was a beautiful country with stunning architecture. They suggested that if I were interested, I should consider visiting. Based on this recommendation, I started planning my trip. In January 2016, I was scheduled to begin a university-funded course in Hong Kong, and I took this opportunity to visit the DPRK as a tourist before starting my finance course. I asked my father and brother to travel with me, contacted various tour agencies via email, and chose the cheapest one. I gave my father $800, and he agreed to pay the remaining $400 to cover the $1,200 trip at the end of December. Back in September, I had dinner at my friend Stephen Webbโ€™s house with his mother, Sharon Webb, who is a deaconess at the Friendship United Methodist Church. She mentioned that communist nations value propaganda slogans and suggested that I take one from the country to display in her church as a trophy. She then continued, knowing that I was desperate to get a car for transportation between home and university every day. She offered me a used car and $10,000 if I succeeded. She also said that if I were detained and unable to return, her church would pay my mother $200,000 as a generous contribution, which I intended to use for my siblingsโ€™ college tuitionโ€”though this would still be $200,000 short of the total $400,000 needed. Then, she showed me the churchโ€™s bank account with $40 million. At first, I hesitated out of fear, but as my family was struggling with severe financial difficulties, I began to see this as a golden opportunity to earn money. The most important thing she told me was that I must never expose the Friendship United Methodist Church, or no payment would be made. In early October, I briefly informed my mother about the proposal, telling her that I planned to steal something valuable from the country and that if I were caught, she would receive bank transfers to cover my siblings' education. She cried and begged me not to do anything dangerous. But from then on, I was pressured multiple times by the church, and I ultimately decided to proceed with this premeditated crime. Meanwhile, the โ€˜Z Societyโ€™ also encouraged this act. When I learned that its members earn high salaries after graduation, I was eager to join them. In late November, I told a fellow university student and Z Society member about my plan in the DPRK. He informed me that this act would benefit the societyโ€™s goal of promoting "freedom" and ending "tyranny." He assured me that if I succeeded, he would help me join the society. However, if I were caught, they would pressure the North Korean government through their partners. Finally, he told me that I must never expose the Z Society's encouragement. After meticulously planning my actions, I arrived in Pyongyang on December 29 from Beijing, and on January 1, I committed the crime of stealing a North Korean slogan." - North Korean Court Official: "Warmbierโ€™s statement has concluded. As you have heard, the U.S. administration is committing malicious acts against our country. If you have any questions, please proceed." - KCNA Journalist: "I am from the Korean Central News Agency. What motivation do you believe the Friendship United Methodist Church had in assigning you this task?" - Otto Warmbier: โ€œI will now explain the motivation of the Friendship United Methodist Church in giving me this mission. The Friendship United Methodist Church is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States. I have known this church since my childhood because I grew up there. You can find more information about this church on the internet. It is not a typical church; it is very wealthy, and the U.S. government has strong ties with it, promoting this type of activity in countries they claim to be anti-Christian. Several Democratic politicians from the U.S. frequently visit this church to collect funds and support it in other spheres. This church even donated more than 10 million dollars to Barack Obamaโ€™s campaign in 2008, which accounted for about 3% of the former president's campaign funds collected at this church. For this reason, the U.S. government is so close to this church and promotes the kind of activity I am now involved in. U.S. politicians use churches like this to harm the DPRK. If this mission had been successful, the church would have received more support from the U.S. government. Because of this hostile policy of the government against the country, I was a manipulated victim who fell into this scheme to help my family, which is struggling with financial problems. However, since I am not a religious person, the church knew that if this came to light, they could easily deny any connection with me. I hope this clarifies the churchโ€™s involvement in my crime. Thank you for your attention.โ€ - Journalist from Rodong Sinmun: โ€œYou said that Society Z encouraged you in this mission. Tell me everything you know about them.โ€ - Otto Warmbier: โ€œThank you very much for your question. Society Z is a secret organization that operates at the University of Virginia. All its members remain anonymous. I first learned about it when I entered the university and saw many of its symbols around campus. I was told that this secret organization donates millions of dollars to the university, which is why its symbols are displayed everywhere. I know that there are at least 10 student members of 'Society Z' at the university. It is said that after graduation, all of them will become very wealthy and take on major roles in politics, business, and religion. Some well-known members of 'Society Z' include former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and a former CIA director. To become a member, one must be wealthy, a leader, and have top academic scores, as well as demonstrate significant acts of bravery and sacrifice against tyranny. Because of this encouragement, I committed this crime, and without a doubt, the CIA is aware of this influence. Finally, I would like to declare that I am a political victim of the United States' hostile policy against the DPRK. I naively attempted to obtain money through this criminal act. I am just a pawn in a system that does not distinguish between friend and enemyโ€”only money. I hope others do not follow the same path as I did.โ€ - Journalist from Joson Sinbo: โ€œI am from Joson Sinbo, under the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan. You said that you carefully planned these steps from the U.S. before committing this crime in the DPRK. Can you tell me more about this?โ€ - Otto Warmbier: โ€œThank you for your question. Now, I will explain how I prepared to commit this crime directly from the U.S. To learn more about the countryโ€™s slogans, I searched the internet using the keywords โ€˜North Korean sloganโ€™ directly from my apartment in Virginia. I looked at about 30 images, some of them large and framed. I then thought that I could remove one of them easily, as they were large, red, and rectangular. To practice before arriving in the country, I went out onto the street and stole traffic signs, hiding them under my bed. Then, I spoke with my friend and planned possible excuses in case I was caught by the North Korean authorities. I decided that I would say I was drunk and did not remember doing it. If I was caught with the slogan, I planned to claim that I had bought it in a souvenir shop in the country. For this reason, when I was caught, my first statement was that I was drunk and did not remember. Additionally, while still preparing in the U.S., I picked out my best boots and got a large suitcase to fit the North Korean slogan inside. Thank you for listening.โ€ - Journalist Yuri Sidorov from the Russian news agency TASS: โ€œTell me more about the crimes you committed in Korea.โ€ - Otto Warmbier: โ€œThank you for your question. Now, I will explain the details of the crime I committed... On December 30, while still in Beijing, I asked my British tour guide where the political slogans were kept in the building where we were going to stay. She said they were probably in the restricted area of the building. When I arrived, I noticed a sign on a door on the second floor stating in English that it was a restricted area. I looked for cameras but did not find any. I chose to commit my crime at dawn on New Yearโ€™s Day, thinking there would be fewer staff working due to the holiday and the late hour. I knew my tour guide would be drunk, so I planned to use the same excuse. I then entered the restricted area of the building and searched for a slogan. When I found one, I removed it from the frame with my hands. It was much larger and heavier than I had expected. At that moment, I became very scared, realizing I would not be able to steal the slogan. However, I managed to turn it over and then ran out of the restricted area.โ€ - Journalist from the Chinese news agency Xinhua: โ€œYou said that you are under investigation and have committed serious crimes. Did you undergo any form of torture or psychological pressure from the judicial authorities of the DPRK?โ€ - Otto Warmbier: โ€œThank you for your question. I will now explain the treatment I received in the country. As an American, arrested for serious crimes, I feared I would face torture and psychological pressure, but that was completely wrong in my mind. I have received the most humanitarian treatment possible. I am being held in a place that feels like a guesthouse. I havenโ€™t received any torture or psychological pressure. I am provided with three high-quality meals a day, I have had full medical exams, and I am allowed to walk outside for one hour every day. I even got a haircut. I sleep more than eight hours a day, and as you can see, I am healthy, but I miss my family a lot. I was very impressed with the humanitarian treatment by the government of the country and with its legal process. This is the most embarrassing moment of my life for committing a crime like this in such a friendly country. I hope that with this press conference, my family can see that I am okay and feel relieved. However, I miss them dearly. I understand the seriousness of my crimes and have no idea what punishment I may face, but I implore the Korean people and the government for forgiveness. I just want to go home.โ€ - North Korean Court Official: โ€œAny more questions? ... Mr. Warmbier, would you like to say anything else?โ€ - Otto Warmbier: โ€œI want to thank the North Korean government for giving me the opportunity to ask the people for forgiveness for the crime I committed. However, the main ones responsible for this are the Friendship United Methodist Church, Society Z, and the U.S. administration, which used me, as they have used many others before me. I am a victim of the hostile U.S. policy towards the DPRK. I wish all the young people in the United States who are watching this never to allow themselves to be used by the U.S. administration. What I saw during my trip was very different from what is portrayed in the West, where the country is shown as evil. I realized that the human rights issue of the DPRK, as presented by the U.S. government, is just an excuse to attack and harm the lives of the Korean people with the intent of overthrowing their government. I ask for forgiveness from the Korean people and beg you to see how I was used and manipulated. Please, save my life, I am the oldest son in my family. My family needs me, I made the worst decision of my life, but I am human, and I hope you will forgive me. I also want to ask the journalists to report this story correctly and help me in any way they can. I fear my family may be threatened by the U.S. government, and I beg for any kind of protection for them. Finally, I plead with the North Korean people to forgive me; I should never have been used by the U.S. government.โ€ โ€” END

Well, friends, the interview the John O'Keefe and Karen Read trial world didn't know they wanted has finally occurred. I appreciate The Glarer for having me on his program. We discussed Kate Peter, I defended Lindsey Gaetani's honor, both sides agreed as to the importance of civil debate and leaving people's families out of the fray and then Will helped Olivia and I move towards amicable discussion. Overall, a 10/10 way to celebrate the day towel become a YouTube partner. Here are my two favorite quotes from Will and myself; [Grant] "If any of you took 10 minutes --not on camera-- to talk to Lindsey Gaetani, you would find someone who believes in God, who cares about her children, who's a good mother, and who's not any of the things you made her out to be. And by God I will defend that 'till my last day." [Grant] "I realized that there was just this toxic atmosphere surrounding this case, and I couldn't just say I thought it needed to change โ€” I had to reflect that change in my actions." [The Glarer] "If you believe so much in Karen Readโ€™s guilt, then the facts should speak for themselves. You shouldnโ€™t have to bring peopleโ€™s family members into it. [The Glarer] "But you know what I think, Grant? I think that you're a really smart guy. And I think you know you're a really smart guy. And I think what you do is, you convince yourself โ€” because of how smart you are โ€” that if you came up with it, it must be gospel. And that's where I think you get cloudy between the truth and your opinion." Here's the full transcript: [Grant] Well, good afternoon towel friends. My name is Grant Smith Ellis and in addition to becoming a YouTube partner today I also decided to call into The Glarer's show. It was the collaboration that the world didn't know they needed but now they have. And if you'd like to listen to this fascinating conversation, related to new allegations as to Kate MafiaMasshole Peter being a PI in the orbit of the Aidan Turtleboy Kearney prosecution, as well as somehow both Will and I eventually coming to a discussion where I defended Lindsey Gaetani's honor, along with a closing segment about the importance on both sides of the Karen Read and John Oโ€™Keefe case of being mutually respectful, even if we have differences of opinion on those facts, you can do so right now. Will and I shared a belief that positive changes in the Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial world, at least in terms of that improving dynamic as to disagreeing without being disagreeable, are evident. So enjoy the conversation, folks. It was certainly an interesting one. [The Glarer] You're on โ€” who am I speaking with? [Grant] Hey, Will, it's me. I'm Grant... [The Glarer] โ€” hold on, I gotta give you applause, buddy. You made it. [Grant] Well, we certainly may have different views on the case, but I think we share respect for Jesus and we can talk bad about Kate Peter for sure. [The Glarer] Yeah, that we can do. Sure. Sure. So what's up, bud? What do you got to say? [Grant] Well, I think if people have been following me on X, they will know I've been yelling about Kate Peter taking an envelope of cash in the Chick-fil-A parking lot in front of me for months. And I feel vindicated as of the news of this weekend. [The Glarer] Okay. Okay, so wait a minute. That tracks. So the person who is in this sworn affidavit who claims to have seen Kate Peter with the manila envelope โ€” you're claiming to have seen her with the same envelope. Is that what you're saying? [Grant] It wasn't a manila envelope. Well, there's two pertinent facts. So Kate Peter and I met up for the first time โ€” I would say it was in the winter of 2024 โ€” in a Chick-fil-A parking lot somewhere on the South Coast, maybe near Raynham or something. Anyway, she came and got in my car and she was like, "Well, I'm waiting for someone in a white Toyota Corolla to drop me off money. We try to do it with cash so it doesn't leave a record." And I was like, "Well, this seems a little weird." And then the car pulled up. I didn't actually see the car. She got out, went over to it, came back into my car. It was a white envelope with a green thank-you card. She opened it. There were probably four or five hundred โ€” four or five fifties and a bunch of twenties. [The Glarer] Wow.... Okay, now Grant, I gotta ask you a tough question, buddy. I would be remiss if I didn't do that, all right? Now, a lot of people are thinking the same thing I'm thinking right now, which is: how can we believe you? Where's your credibility? Because you've lied about so many other things so easily. [Grant] Well, I would challenge that and say maybe you have different perspectives on me, but that should reinforce what I'm saying here. The Melanie Little and Alan Jackson Aruba thing โ€” I apologized for that on stream and in a post (because Melanie Little told people not to go after Lindsey's kids, and I found that honorable). [The Glarer] Fair enough. [The Glarer] You did apologize. Okay, so you apologized for that. Okay. [Grant] But I'm critiquing someone [Kate Peter] who would ostensibly be aligned with what I believe about the case, and I still believe what I believe about Karen being responsible for John's deathโ€” we don't have to get into it โ€” but I'm critiquing someone who supports that view. That should reinforce my credibility here. [The Glarer] Yeah, and MicroDots backs you up at least on this thing, you know, he says he believes you on this thing. I'm just saying โ€” dude, I've read what you've written. You're a talented writer, clearly. But I can honestly say I've got a whole community of people here โ€” a shit ton of people in this chat right now โ€” that I know would agree with me that if you made a habit of reporting the truth, you'd have support, you'd have readers, you'd have a whole audience. I'd be a fan! But your credibility is fucked with me right now, dude. You know, and I hate that, because I actually enjoy reading what you write. [Grant] I appreciate what you're saying. I think I would just say maybe it's smaller than your community, but I just got made a YouTube partner today. I'm actually celebrating that. I have a small community, people do support me โ€” maybe not as many as support your channel, but it's just people with different views consuming different content. [The Glarer] Yeah, but the thing is โ€” like, I'm content with my audience. My audience could be bigger, but I cuss a lot and I use words that offend people and I just don't kind of play by the normal YouTube game that most creators play when they grow, you know? And I'm okay with the rate at which my channel grows because I get to be myself. But I don't hold back and I don't play by these rules. So I get all that. But I mean, I'm not ethically doing anything wrong. If I were spreading misinformation or contributing to any spread of misinformation, I would have a problem with myself and what I'm doing. You see what I'm saying? Like, it's a little bit different. You're telling me that you're content with your audience being small because you like to make shit up? You know what I mean? [Grant] No, no. Because it's a new channel. That's why the audience is growing. Anyway, the reason I shake your hand is I do think you're authentic in your beliefs, even if we disagree. And well โ€” before I forget, one more thing about that Chick-fil-A parking lot cash that's actually important: when Kate got that money handed over, she told me it was for a donation drive to help other people offset babysitting costs or whatever nonsense. Someone sent a text message โ€” a family member of the person who paid her that cash โ€” and they put in writing that they sent the money for Kate's own expenses. So she lied to me in the car about what the money was for. Somethingโ€™s up with that. [The Glarer] So she told you in the car that the money was for... [Grant] She said it was to pay for babysitters for people who need help and to donate to other people, which I don't believe. Like, of course not. Nobody believes that. [The Glarer] And then you found out โ€” through what โ€” that this money was actually for her personal expenses? [Grant] Eventually a text message got released from someone in the orbit of whoever paid Kate. It was a family member โ€” I don't know who it was. I've only seen the text message. I'm happy to reshare it on my X later. In that text message, it says โ€” quoting the person โ€” "I sent that envelope with my sister over to Kate. It was for her expenses" or something like that. So even that is evidence. [The Glarer] Wow. Okay, so you are strictly of the opinion, based on things you've seen yourself, that Kate Peter is absolutely being paid by the Commonwealth to spin narratives? [Grant] I'll give you one more piece of information, Will, and maybe you or your audience can track this down: I don't think Kate was involved in the Karen Read investigation directly, but I think starting in the fall of 2023 she worked for a private investigator named Marty Kraft. And I believe by proxy she was then retained to work on Aidan's case through that PI firm. [The Glarer] Okay, and then she just became the mouthpiece between the PI firm and the Commonwealth is what you're saying. [Grant] I will say a few things: I reasonably believe she does have direct contact with the DA and agents of the Commonwealth โ€” I've said that before โ€” and I also believe that she has favoritism towards specific witnesses in the orbit of this case. Not all of them โ€” specific witnesses. [The Glarer] Okay, well, I mean, we know who they are, but okay. [Grant] I will also say โ€” I think โ€” that your caller was prescient earlier, and they mentioned there might be some mutual blackmail. Well, we know that Lindsey Gaetaniโ€™s phone extraction was manipulated to remove messages from Brian Tully to Lindsey and from Kate Peter to Lindsey. [The Glarer] ...what's your deal with Lindsey? [Grant] Hold, on let's pull it back first. First of all, I think there was a bifurcation: there's charges from October 2023 against Aidan and December 2023 against Aidan. One set of charges, from October of 2023, involved the Karen Read witnesses; the other set, from December of 2023, involved Lindsey. I don't think anyone set Aidan up in December 2023. I think he was just in love with Lindsey and it kind of got out of control. [The Glarer] Bro... [Grant] Well, but hold on, Will... [The Glarer] I'm listening... [Grant] I think that cell phone extraction goes right to the mutual blackmail point your friend talked about earlier. Someone, during the course of the Aidan Kearney investigation involving Lindsey, manipulated that cell phone extraction, and it could have only happened while it was in State Police custody. That is the whole โ€” that's everything right there because of Kate Peter is the only person who could have gotten Brian Tully to get Nick Guarino to manipulate that extraction while it was in State Police custody before Tully leaked it, by hand, to Aidan's lawyer. [The Glarer] Okay, so listen, Grant. Like, we know that Kate Peter and Lindsey were colluding. Now, I think Lindsey was used. But come on, we know that Kate Peter and Lindsey were colluding to try to set Aidan up. Like, you know this. [Grant] No, I disagree, because I've looked at the timeline closely. Aidan begged to go over there when his indictments got handed down in December. [The Glarer] Well, listen โ€” why? [Grant] Because he got charged in October, but the indictments for the October thing came down December 20th. [Grant] Then when did he beg to go over to Lindsey's? [Grant] I'm about to explain. December 21st, Lindsey tells him, "Hey Aidan, I just got a subpoena for a grand jury." Aidan's mind has gotta' start racing. "Why would there be another grand jury? Is it about me and Karen Read? What is this about?" So he begged her to go over there so he could find out. And that's โ€” like โ€” he looked at her phone that night to see the messages between her and Kate to try to find out about what this new grand jury was about. So no one set him up. He begged to go over there. [The Glarer] So you're just assuming that he begged to go over there based on...? [Grant] I know he begged to go over there. He was pleading because he wanted to find out what the new grand jury was. [The Glarer] The difference between you and Aidan is Aidan posts receipts, dude. But you don't. You get the difference? That's why Aidan has as much of a following as he has. [Grant] If you're asking for receipts of him begging to go over there on that day, I'm happy to provide those. I'll post them. [The Glarer] Then why didn't you do that already? [Grant] Well, I think because what I understand to be the evidentiary record from going to all the hearings is different than what people consume, because not everyone goes to every hearing. But I'm happy to do that. I have it all archived. [The Glarer] Okay, but the point is โ€” like MicroDots is saying โ€” that he was baited to go over there. So even if he begged to go over there under whatever circumstance, we have proof โ€” we've seen proof โ€” that he was baited to go over there based on false information that she was pregnant. [Grant] No. No. She was pregnant. [The Glarer] Oh my, Grant, bro... [Grant] Okay. I will swear on my God about that. [The Glarer] Hold on... [Grant] Well, to move on, I was going to give you some credit. I was going to say you might have been right that the subpoena issued to Lindsey, without her knowledge, could have been to bait Aidan. [The Glarer] But she wouldn't โ€” how do you explain the metadata on the pictures that she sent him of the sonogram, dude? [Grant] First of all, if you're talking about someone's pregnancy โ€” that's a medical issue, and to bring it up on air disgraces Jesus. [The Glarer] Oh, come on, Grant. [Grant] Let's not. [The Glarer] Alright, fine. We won't talk about that anymore. But let's face it, dude โ€” you're making excuses for this girl. And why? Like, do you have a crush on her? Is that what's going on here? And it's okay. [Grant] Oh, oh, please. When I first came into this case, I saw a woman walk into a courtroom, and I started listening to her story. And even in this conversation, there are multiple things I corrected where you were willing to say, "Okay, Grant, maybe that is what happened." And Lindsey doesn't have anyone out there who is voicing that for her, so I'm taking the opportunity to do it. [The Glarer] And do you wonder why she doesn't have anyone voicing things out for her, dude? [The Glarer] Because Aidan isolates people! [The Glarer] Get out of here with that. Stop. Again with the whole "it's Aidan's fault" shit, man. That's between you and Lindsey, dude. I'm asking โ€” like, I asked you why you think that. Nobody is going to bat for Lindsey. And I saw receipts. I heard a recording of her โ€” you're talking about somebody who I heard a recording of [that night with Aidan in December of 2023]. This is... Come on, Grant. [Grant] I was in the courtroom. I saw the people crying when that tape was played. And you know what I also heard, Will? I heard the original version of that tape that didn't have her consent to record, which is why Aidan got charged with felony wiretapping. [The Glarer] Okay, but you're not denying that she said that, right? [Grant] Listen, I have never been awake at 12:30 in the morning. I'm not a woman. I've never been confronted with that situation. I would never pass judgment on someone in that situation. [The Glarer] Every woman that I've ever heard express their opinion on it โ€” pretty negative, dude. Just saying. Pretty negative. Especially the moms. Especially the moms. [Grant] So I don't think any people talking in that way โ€” I don't think you've even met this woman. [The Glarer] You're right. I have not. I have not met her. [Grant] And if โ€” I don't know if she will ever do this โ€” but if any of you took 10 minutes, not on camera, to talk to this woman, you would find someone who believes in God, who cares about her children, who's a good mother, and who's not any of the things you made her out to be. And by God, I will defend that 'till my last day. [The Glarer] Alright. Declared. Got it. I gotta' ask you one more question though. Why are you saying stuff about Olivia Nile โ€” Olivia Nile and her mom โ€” being paid agents for the defense? Come on. [Grant] Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Let me just explain that. I know that's Olivia Lamb. Okay? [The Glarer] Right, yeah, same person. Yeah, yeah. [Grant] Okay, so we all know Christina Lamb does boutique PR consulting for lawyers. She's good at it. Oliviaโ€™s good at it. They should own it. I want to interview her. [The Glarer] What โ€” how is that proof, though? That Olivia Lamb is being paid by the defense in some way? You see the problem? [Grant] Hold on. That is an extrapolation some people may make. My argument is only that what she does looks like PR for the defense. I think Olivia hasn't been paid since last year. [The Glarer] But she's saying that's not even what she does, dude. [Grant] Okay, maybe it's not. But I think Olivia's contract ran up at the end of the first trial, if you want me to be very blunt with you. [The Glarer] Contract? [Grant] Mm-hmm. [The Glarer] But her mom doesn't even do that either โ€” what the fuckโ€™s her mom got to do with it? [Grant] Well, why would her mom run some random boutique PR consulting firm for lawyers, and then Olivia just shows up with this extremely high-level acumen, rivaling lawyers? [The Glarer] But thatโ€™s not what she does. She's saying that's not even what her mom does or what she does. [Grant] Okay, well, I looked at her mom's website. I archived it going back a few years, so I can post the screenshots again. And I know what she advertised herself as doing. [The Glarer] But you know what I think, Grant? I think that you're a really smart guy. And I think you know you're a really smart guy. And I think what you do is, you convince yourself โ€” because of how smart you are โ€” that if you came up with it, it must be gospel. That's what I think. And that's where I think you get cloudy between the truth and your opinion. Because you state your opinions as though they're fact. And I think that's an ego thing. I don't even think it's malice. Itโ€™s just ego. That's what it comes off as, anyway, dude. Because everything you say โ€” every time I ask you, "Where's your proof?" โ€” you explain how you came to your opinion. You give me a laid-out story. Go back and listen to this later on โ€” you'll see what I mean. [Grant] Well, I don't even doubt you, actually, that I'm firm in my convictions. If I'm not there to experience something, I do not know the truth. But I've seen the screenshots. I only found out Olivia Lamb was Olivia Lamb because I found an archived X post where she shared something very sentimental about her grandfather. I didn't like that. I didn't appreciate having to talk about that. But it became relevant because I wanted to know why she was involved in the case. I will listen to her tell me I'm wrong. I want to interview her. [The Glarer] Yeah, but you can't just, like, trap people into interviews by threatening to spread lies about them if they don't, bro. What kind of shit is that? [Grant] Nothing that I said about her grandfather, her acumen or her mother's work was incorrect... [The Glarer] But why are you even talking about her family, dude? Like, that's really low, man. Like โ€” that's... It's low, man. It's low. Her family didn't have nothing to do with this, man. She's doing this because she cares about it. And then people start talking about people's family members and shit. And it's like โ€” it comes off as a not-so-subtle form of intimidation, frankly, Grant. You know, trying to get somebody to shut up. [Grant] No, I don't want to do that. I want to learn about why she's interested in the case. [The Glarer] But you could see how somebody could see it that way, right? Because what if her family starts telling her, "Hey, stop talking about this. Why are we being brought into your shit because you're passionate about something?" What if her family does that and puts her in an awkward position? And then people are cheated out of some really good insight because of that. [Grant] My brother โ€” my brother who at four years old had a colectomy, three-stage, and is developmentally disabled as a result โ€” has a profile someone made mocking him on X. That's a profile that people I respect engage with. Usually I overlook that stuff because I don't believe the people engaging in it are trying to do that. And I hope people realize I'm not doing that to her. I authentically want to know why Olivia's covering this case. [The Glarer] That's all right. So โ€” but that's my point, Grant. I'm just saying, like, if you believe Karen Read is guilty, why not just stick to the facts? Because you don't see me going after anybody's family. You don't see Olivia going after anybody's family, talking about people's family and exposing their family and what they do. You know what I mean? That's not cool. I don't do that. And Oliviaโ€™s saying that she will happily talk to you anytime about why she's interested in the case. You see what? That's my point. That's my point โ€” if you believe so much in Karen Read's guilt, then the facts should speak. Everything that you put out there โ€” the facts, the details of the case, and the way you interpret those facts โ€” that should be enough. You shouldn't have to bring people's family members into it. Come on. I feel like you're better than that. That's all. I still have faith that you're better than that. [Grant] Yeah. And I think that's the perfect place to end, because you've given me a lot of time and I share your sentiments. I think that is crucially important. You don't see me out there in the past six months or twelve months talking about Melanie Little, or Olivia or her parents anymore. [The Glarer] I have seen improvement, yes. I have seen it. [Grant] And let me just say why: because I came to believe that there was this toxic atmosphere surrounding this case, and that I couldn't just say I thought it needed to change โ€” I had to reflect that change in my actions. And that's why that happened. So that's it. That's how I feel. [The Glarer] Okay. Yeah, I mean, everybodyโ€™s entitled to their feelings and opinions, man. We all are. But yeah, Iโ€™m glad that we got this talk. I got to express some things I wanted to express to you. You were very receptive, and I appreciate you coming on and being respectful and being cool. And youโ€™re welcome here anytime, Grant. I can see that we could talk about pretty much anything, and it's fine. That will always be welcome here โ€” no matter what we disagree on. So I appreciate you, Grant. [Grant] God bless, Will, enjoy the rest of your Saturday. [The Glarer] Have a good one. Alright, Grant, y'all. Alright, I'm gonna take another call. Let's do that.

[eng trans] Gunil's 11-Minute Concert Ment at Summer Xcape 2026 ๐Ÿน hello, it's gunil. so, did something happen yesterday? firstly, i'd just like to share a few thoughts about how i felt during today's show. i'm always the type to talk for a long time, so i'm trying to be careful because i'm worried some of you might fall asleep. but if you want to sleep, that's okay. you have the freedom. ๐Ÿน anyway, the thing i felt while performing today was that... honestly, i think yesterday we were all still a little shy around each other. i know some of you were here yesterday too. because of that, i was honestly really worried about today. ah, but still, we only had two days to begin with, so since this is the second and final day, we really have to enjoy ourselves and have fun without any regrets. i wanted Xdizzto have fun, and i wanted villains to have fun too. but i kept thinking, will that really work out? i was really worried about it a lot. ๐Ÿน but the moment today's first performance started, you all welcomed us with such loud cheers that i think those worries just disappeared. and honestly, today, even when we made our silly jokes, you reacted so well. you cheered like this even when jooyeon was just tuning his guitar. ah, i'm really, truly grateful for that. so, in conclusion, i had a great time today. ๐Ÿน i think it's almost been five years since our debut now, right? five calendar years, right? anyway, some time has passed, and while we've stood on countless stages during that time, i think yesterday and today, Xcape 2026, will remain one of those performances that i'll remember for a very long time. ๐Ÿน today's concert was really fun. but when i think to myself whether that means it was a perfect performance... personally, i don't think so. while i was playing the drums and listening through my in-ear monitor, there were parts i felt like were lacking. and the more i perform, the more ideas i have about areas we can improve so we can make our concerts even more enjoyable. i've noticed a lot of those things myself, and found parts i wanted to improve. so yes, although today's concert was really fun, i won't let us become satisfied with just this. i want us to continue creating performances that are even more fun and have better quality. that's something i really wanted to tell all of you. ๐Ÿน did you all have fun? you all traveled such a long way to get here. for a lot of people, yeongjongdo is actually pretty far away. so the fact that you came all the way here just to see xdiz, is really an act of love. thank you once again, from the bottom of my heart, for loving us so much and coming all this way to support us. i'm not crying. my nose isn't stuffed either. can you hear my sniffling? when i talk quietly, I don't think you can hear me. ๐Ÿน anyway, along time ago, i made a promise to you all, didn't i? i said that xdiz would always be the kind of team that keeps simmering bone broth. [see reply for the context of his "real bone broth" ment] of course, if you eat bone broth every single day, eventually you might start doubting and think "is this really bone broth?" because you get so used to it. but i really cross my heart on this. i'll bet everything on this. without lying, i'll always give my absolute best. i think that's only natural. isn't it wrong to not give your best? ๐Ÿน anyway, i hope you'll continue to believe in us. i hope you keep trusting xdiz. we'll also keep working hard so we can live up to that trust. i believe that precious relationships, as they get deeper, will have more crises/problems. because, well, think about your precious friends. or maybe a neighborhood friend you're close with. or a classmate you were incredibly close to. haven't there been incidents where suddenly that relationship becomes strained because of a crisis? but i believe that a crisis can become an opportunity. so even if there are any of you who may have doubted us, i want to use that as an opportunity to keep proving ourselves to you. ๐Ÿน i hope you know that we're never the kind of people, or the kind of team, that would carelessly take you for granted or treat your love half-heartedly. and i'm so grateful that there are far more people who don't think that way. we really love you all so much. we'll keep talking together after every show, giving each other feedback among ourselves, adressing the areas we fell short on today, and working hard to show you performances that are even more fun and with higher quality. ๐Ÿน oh, right. earlier, when i talked about that promise while mentioning the bone broth, there was something else i said back then too. do you remember me saying the bigger this group gets, as more and more new villains join us, i mentioned that i was afraid some of you may leave so i said i wanted to protect all of you no matter what. nobody actually says things like "what will you protect? protect yourself first." but i think you all understand what i feel. ๐Ÿน honestly, every single one of you is genuinely precious to me. whether there's just one villain or 200,000 villains, you're all still villains. but as our fandom keeps growing, it naturally starts feeling like one huge group. so because of that, i think we might stop feeling like we're seen as an individual person anymore. once again, what i want to tell you here is that every single piece of love that each of you sends us is incredibly precious. really. every single one of you. everyone here, from zone 1 all the way to zone 7000 is so incredibly precious to us. ๐Ÿน when one person comes together... ah no, not just one person. when one person, then another person come together, sometimes they become ten thousand people. that's how it goes, doesn't it? ๐Ÿน anyway, you all know the song "one candle", right? oh, i'm sorry. this is really the last one... actually, you all know i'm a tmi talker. you know, a too much talker. so for a while, i've been telling myself, "ah, i need to restrain myself" and holding back but it's been a while, so, i'll loosen up my mouth a bit more. ๐Ÿน i really love the song "one candle" it talks about how when one candle joins another, then another, and so on, they become one really great light. you are every single one of those lights. when you're standing alone, in a way, you might sometimes feel insignificant. but truly, every one of you is not insignificant. not at all. ๐Ÿน we will become xdiz that grows by constantly reflecting on ourselves, growing through self-reflection, and will never lose our humility so we can become a team that doesn't feel insignificant even if there's just one of us, and even if there were only one of you, we'd still give everything we have until the very end. we would be really grateful if you'll keep believing in us until the very end. and i'll keep believing in our villains until the very end too. thank you. ๐Ÿน also, wasn't this concert amazing? the drums came down from the sky. the instruments came down too. so many incredible things prepared for this show, but this concert couldn't have happened through our efforts alone. there are so many staff members working behind the scenes, and honestly, i think they worked even harder than we did. please give our staff a huge round of applause. and finally, villains, please give yourselves a round of applause too.
