I wanted to start things off by saying I was not sure if I was gonna be able to get this video out there is some information in here that has changed so I'm gonna kind of talk about the updates as I go there are obviously fires happening here in Southern California that are affecting me that are affecting my neighbours and obviously affecting other residents within SoCal I'm grateful that the fires haven't made their way entirely near my home I haven't had to evacuate I've just been dealing with power losses so with that everything that I'm about to say is a script that I wrote before uh chaos ensued so just bear with me I just wanna make sure I got this information out there and I should be on schedule to release another video in a couple of days with more information especially about the eat and fire and all the crazy shit that's happening here in California at least from someone who lives out here who's not a news reporter and can kind of give you the take that um or at least my opinion on what's going on along with some feedback that I received from other first responders but with that let's get right into this video that is late as hell where do I even begin this year started as a blood bath what I want to do is reveal some information to you that may or may not have found its way to your screens now at the time of filming everything I'm about to tell you has been confirmed by various sources both independent and federal starting with our warfare segment as many of you are aware Matthew Livelsburger a Green Beret from Colorado Springs Colorado is believed to have used his torrented cyber truck as a V bid or vehicle borne improvise explosive device which ignited in front of Trump Towers in Las Vegas Nevada as of right now there are no casualties but there were seven people that were injured I wanted to break this down real quick so we have a Green Beret one of the most capable human beings on earth trained to carry out missions that safeguard this nation this highly skilled individual uses a vehicle that has been advertised as bulletproof which if you didn't know usually works in both directions so if you let up around from the inside it probably won't get out you know depending on the caliber he fills it up with fireworks and random and some random explosives and basically just drives it to Trump Towers where he allegedly shoots himself with the 50 calibre Desert Eagle handgun which is one of the largest calibre handguns you can get legally and for what reason well shortly after this event occurred Sean Ryan hosted Sam Shoe Mate from Terminal C w o who is a retired army Intel officer who now runs this satire social media account Matt apparently sent multiple messages to both Sean Ryan and Terminal C w o who's Sam Sean never saw those messages cause he has millions of followers but Sam Schue made and terminal C w o right his page they did see Matt's messages and all the comments Matt was leaving on you know terminal C w o post after going back and forth with Matt on Instagram DMS and signal chats you know Sam finally coordinated with Matt Matt finally emailed Sam um an email which I'm not gonna read to you but I'm gonna post the email on the screen so you guys can can see now some information has been redacted not by me but by Sam Schumate because it contains information about active federal law enforcement agents and active duty um and active duties members of the military so on top of this letter surfacing we're also told that the body in the vehicle was burned beyond recognition they were able to find a military ID and passport which was used to quote identify the body DNA from the remains were compared to that of Matt's son and apparently they didn't match and I don't wanna make this some like Maury not the father type situation I never thought I'd be in a TV show where no one was yelling you are not the father they did whatever they had to do to determine that that was it was Matt in that car so let's recap real quick so let's recap the first wave of information that we were given sometime in December Matt tries to get in touch with Sean Pete Hegsworth and Sam Schumate's Terminal C W O in the interview on Sean Ryan Sam does mention that Matt was hoping that Sam would take this information and give it to Pete Hegseth and Fox News and Sean Ryan basically a variety of conservative news outlets to try and blow the whistle on what he is saying is war crimes then on January 1st this incident occurs January 3rd we get the DNA results so a few days after all of this after the d N a results come back in Las Vegas P d a t F and all the other three letter agencies that are assisting with this they start to release video footage so we see Matt buying the stuff that he's using to commit this crime we see Matt covering his cyber truck dousing it in gasoline we now have CCTV recordings prior to that Matt and Sean come up with this elaborate theory which at the time seemed relevant but this is the statement I wrote when I was originally writing this script and I'm gonna read it exactly how I how I have it here because I laughed when I was reviewing it today because I was right on the money and I wanna share that I was right on the money with you this is originally what I wrote now here's what they believed was going on meaning Sean Ryan and Sam Schumate during this podcast they believed Matt was becoming more vocal about his concerns and he got the government's attention this might be because he started talking to civilians about these war crimes was there some you know monitoring or surveillance going on probably most service members understand that they're the government's property then Matt rented this truck and started to accumulate things that warranted other agencies to get involved like Homeland since he was exhibiting signs of someone who might do something bad then again this is their theory then he shoots someone the same age build and race as himself right Matt goes and commits this crime so Sean and Sam do not believe that Matt was the driver or the body found in the cyber truck they believe Matt pops this person in the driver seat sets the cyber truck to autopilot and has the truck drive to Trump Towers now I don't know if the self driving feature is capable of doing this so it's a bit of conjecture on their part while this is a possible scenario there are a lot of possibilities I am also certain that we are not aware of all of the evidence and because of that there are a lot of theories circulating that what I just said that statement is what I originally wrote we now know that it is very likely that Matt was the driver of the car I am not too sure how they were actually able to confirm that it was in fact Matt like if there was some other DNA that they used to scientifically prove I guess we'll say that I hate throwing the science word around but essentially it's what I'm getting at them using an ID on somebody um I don't know if that if we can beyond a reasonable doubt right it's kind of what I'm getting at I don't know if we could just if we can say that that body is Matt's because he had Matt's ID seems like a weird weird way to try to prove something especially in this day and age with all of the technology that we have there was also a theory that the letter shared by Sam on the Sean Ryan Show was fake so this letter that Matt allegedly sent to Sam he's saying people are saying it's fake now there's one person in particular Ryan Macbeth who said that the entire thing is fake and what can only be described as a grown man crying on social media and not in a constructive way and not in a vulnerable like and not in a vulnerable way right that we would love to see right we would love to see people talking from the heart but Homeboy got on to his podcast and basically was like you disrespected my army and like got real weird about it it was uncomfortable to watch it was second hand embarrassment but it was only an 8 minute video and the entire time I was thinking yo someone tell this guy to turn this turn his camera off like it seems like he got very emotional and jumped online apparently um I don't know about anybody else but in the heat of the moment my first instinct isn't to jump in front of a camera maybe if I had a million subs but not even then I doubt that so I took this video with the grain assault because this guy is a government contractor in the first 2 seconds of the video he tells you he is an Intel drone contractor so my name is Ryan Mcbath retired entrepreneur and current software developer I also work on drone software and ISR software along with contracting where I found bad guys and you get the idea so I'm really good at finding people I know a little bit about this Intel stuff so he was in the Army Ryan Macbeth was in the army for I don't know how long and then got out and went to cybersecurity and now he owns a company that maintains government contracts working on drones so again this guy is a government contractor who profits off of warfare and if you're trying to make the connection if you didn't pick up what I was putting down think about the message that Matt was trying to send he was trying to say that the U s was involved in war crimes which pretty much would cut the money supply from this Intel expert Ryan true Intel and cyber security experts know that it is entirely possible using open source intelligence to figure out that that email was legitimate there's actually a guy I'll post a video in the comments who did that he did it on his YouTube channel and show just by taking the email address the proton email address he was able to confirm that it was in fact mad livsburger so I would probably say Ryan Mcbeth is not the expert he claims to be he's obviously good at what he does if he's able to maintain government contracts and hopefully keep the government happy not really saying a lot for anybody's ever been a government contractor there's a lot of recycling of garbage if you will but he knows enough to have a million subs to generate a following that he provides value to I am just saying I'm taking that shit with a grain of salt I'm also hoping that if Ryan was unable to contain himself and had to hop in front of a camera to cry about a letter that offended his army maybe you need to talk to somebody maybe you're not emotionally stable enough to handle that sort of constructive criticism that there is the possibility that your army may have committed some war crimes on behalf of the US government is it the individual soldiers fault no they were doing what they were told did somebody along the line probably say hey we probably shouldn't do this probably but you know what the government won as they always do so in my advice to all of you wonderful people that are listening me go on my own personal rant trust no one but keep in mind of who has the most to lose if what Matt is saying is true if the government did indeed kill civilians in these air strikes and potentially commit war crimes that were swept under the rug by the Biden administration and if that's true who has the most to lose as of today Sam Schuette is now backpedaling and saying that Matt was having some sort of mental break Sam speculates that this is because Matt either stopped taking his meds or possibly changed his meds here's my thing and here's my criticism of Sam now it's not his fault what happened I'm just gonna say that up front I would just say that if it was me I would I might have handled this a little bit differently and I'm gonna say might because I'm not Sam I didn't receive the message from Matt I don't maintain a social media channel that has hundreds of thousands of subscribers what I am saying is that if a veteran messaged me and I was able to read that message and come to the conclusion that this veteran or this active duty service member who I was then able to confirm so for my understanding Sam was able to confirm that Matt was an active duty Green Beret and was saying that they had a V bid in that letter and was spewing all of these like conspiracy theories I would go to probably I would I would most likely go to my buddies in chain of command and say hey there's an active duty guy who I think you guys should go have a talk with he's clearly having some mental health issues anytime a veteran has reached out to me and has exhibited any signs of needing help I don't want that on my shoulders I want to know that I did the best I could for that veteran or for that active duty person and went and got them help now in Sam's defense he got this letter and like two days later the incident occurred so there wasn't a ton of time I am just questioning the events after and how Sam handled that situation which is another reason why I think it is incredibly important that if if you need help and if you are having any ideas that you should seek professional help yes you should 100% reach out to people but if you are not if you feel like you're not getting the support that you need please please go to a professional there's the Cohens Veteran Network there's the department of Veterans Affairs there's your chain of command and don't get me wrong if you're active duty I can understand feeling like you don't have the support from your chain of command there are other resources out there don't reach out to a platform that has 4 million views and think you're gonna get any help now did Matt think he needed help probably not he was just trying to spread the word and with that I'm gonna leave all of the resources I have for this investigation in the description so you can make up your own mind that's just my 2 cents on the matter I for one would not get in front of a camera and have an emotional breakdown and I for two would try to do the try to do everything that I can to help a fellow veteran or fellow service member get the help that they need if I felt that there was some something else something happening if they sent me a crazy message like I have a V bid I'm probably gonna contact authorities but I will say this intend to be just as confused as the rest of us as you go through this evidence and come up with your own conclusions next we have our second New Year's attack which involved an army veteran Shamsu Din Jabbar Hope I'm saying that right uh but who cares but this guy drove through a crowd in New Orleans and killed 14 people entering many more despite his service and deployments to Afghanistan he pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State or ISIS terrorist group I don't know if it's ISIS Islamic State is like the name of headquarters and all their little little shops all the little franchises of little franchise terrorist groups have their own names ISIS being one of them if you didn't know there's an Islamic State of Afghanistan there's an Islamic State of Libya and if you don't know what I'm talking about then you should probably get a copy of this book it's not my book it is called al Qaida 2.0 and I'm gonna do a book review on it soon and it's all the tabs there but um I'd hate to say I told you so but here we are now Jabart was killed in a fire fight with police at the end of this video I'm gonna play the police body cam footage you can see kind of what exactly happened great job on New Orleans as far as it relates as far as it's related to the individual officers who were able to eliminate the threat without causing any more damage than what was already done when police searched his home they found suspected materials used to make B word which I'm not really too sure if I can say on this platform things that go boom maybe I'll say it I don't know so as many of you may or may not know I don't know if you read my bio I'm an instructor for SIZA the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency um I teach classes for the center for Bombing Prevention I'm just gonna say the B word uh don't cancel me YouTube so if your organization wants this free training let me know and I will get you scheduled my job is basically to teach your supervisors who can then teach everybody else in the organization kind of what to look out for and how to stay safe for example if you work at a Home Depot in New York City and someone comes in and tries to buy 100 pounds of fertilizer that's weird no one's farming in Brooklyn so you know these are the things that we want to look out for I teach you all about bomb making material do I teach you how to make these things no teach you what to look out for like hey if someone's buying this stuff you might wanna let somebody know some big corporations have this already I know how my Home Depot has a similar training this one is from the federal government if you're a police officer you get post C E US if you are anybody else who's looking to obtain C E US from SZA and other organizations like FEMA for example you can get some of those from this class in order to sign up for the class you have to have a female student identification number so just keep that in mind moving on as I mentioned in my last video the terrorist plots of the past are no more the bad guys publish their like handbook basically like headquarters publishes his handbook and expects their franchises to follow suit this is called a decentralized command and our public enemy No. 1 Osama bin Laden well his son Hamza is here to carry his torch when Osama bin Laden was eliminated Hamza realized we need to get our shit together because we lost one homie and operation just shut down so to prevent that from happening they decentralized something else I want to mention is I watched a video from this Intel expert who basically went on to like CNN or something and was saying that yeah we've been noticing activity in the Middle East and you know um and terrorist groups are centralizing again ISIS is centralizing learning from its mistakes in Syria they integrated a lot of their provinces together under this general director of provinces so there's a bit more coordination on the global level within its network in the Mid East the ISIS brand is apparently still attracting supporters like these three amanes in one of many such ISIS propaganda videos the terror group posts their bloody bounce back began several years ago gaining temporary global attention killing 13 US troops as coalition forces pulled out of Afghanistan in when I tell you I was so pissed because this homeboy was a foreign policy guy right foreign policy and Intel are very different right maybe you have a degree in foreign policy and you get into Intel all I have to say about this is to me that was CNN with their tail tucked because folks like Sarah Adams true Intel experts have been screaming from the rooftops yo do you guys see what's happening over here do you see what's happening in the Middle East maybe we should tell the American public and maybe we should start to prepare for what's to come instead nobody listened to her and they were basically like shush don't you shush me right everything's good nothing's happening over there and after New Orleans now they're like oh yeah I guess you're right so they bring on some schmuck I shouldn't call him a schmuck I don't really know who this guy is but you know what I mean they bring on this guy when in reality they should have asked for Sarah Adams but they didn't because they know that she's been trying to tell him this and they haven't been listening to her so that was a fuck up on the news outlets part but I'm not surprised cause they're here for the clicks and the views they don't give a shit about the information that they're pumping out hence the reason why I started this podcast moving on now I know the Vegas story seems to out be outshining the New Orleans story but both of these stories are incredibly important and I believe we need to prepare this week I'm gonna be releasing an in depth guide to preparedness so subscribe if you wanna see that please and thank you I know I've already did an emergency preparedness kit and with all the fires and everything that's happening um a preparedness kit I feel is warranted um and I hate that it's a reactive video now it was meant to be a proactive video based on all the events that occurred on New Years finally onto our wellness segment as many of you are aware I have worked in the health and fitness space my entire life that being said I have obviously struggled with my weight now it's no excuse yes I had some mental health stuff going on yes I was diagnosed with P C O s but those are not excuses at least not excuses for me so I'll be posting my workout every day to my Instagram story you know if you'd like to follow you know feel free I'm gonna be including not just my at home workouts but my cardio my mobility work my recovery my nutrition which does include some supplements that I intend to phase out but I need them right now if you're like why are you doing this um one it's to show you guys what I'm doing um and also to keep me accountable five years ago I had to lose 20 pounds and I end up losing 25 because I was able to engage with people who were also looking to do the same thing and since I post exactly what I'm doing and my exact workouts people were able to follow along and lose weight with me now I gauge the success at least back then when I lost 25 pounds by something that I call evening ABS which again is how I measure my fitness level this basically means and I'm coining this term right now evening ABS for all my friends you know me you've heard me say this I am coining this shit those ABS need to be popping baby this basically means that I had ABS in the evening which for anyone who has ever had morning ABS you know like you yawn or take a sip of water and that shit just goes away so having ABS throughout the day and in the evening and not being a professional bodybuilder is pretty cool or an athlete some people can do it you're genetically blessed I hate you but here we are now this is not how I gauge my health levels health levels should be gauge by comprehensive blood work mental health evaluations etcetera alright moving on NIH researchers have identified a novel class of anti malaria antibodies that target a previously untouched portion of the malaria parasite published in science the study highlights a specific antibody mad 21 1 0 1 for anybody wants to know which binds to a unique site on the sporozoite protein outside regions targeted by existing vaccines this site is conserved across malaria strains and becomes exposed during sporozoite development making it a promising candidate for new vaccines and treatments this discovery could lead to more effective prevention methods especially for high risk groups like infants without interfering with current vaccines further research will explore the antibody's broader application against malaria and other diseases now I don't ever promote vaccines but this one's kind of dope especially in developing countries and especially if it works with no side effects next an NIH funded study on mice reveals that aging affects different brain cell types in varying ways researchers use advanced genetic mapping tools to analyze over 1.2 million cells identifying that some cells particularly hormone controlling neurons in the hypothalamus undergo more significant age related changes in genetic activity than others these changes include reduced neuron development and increased inflammation related activity cells lining the third ventricle involved in hormone and nutrient regulation were especially sensitive to aging these findings provide a detailed roadmap for understanding how aging impacts brain cells and may inform future treatments for age related disorders like alzheimer's researchers highlighted potential links between aging metabolism and dietary interventions while emphasizing the need for further investigation into the biological mechanisms underlying these changes or shit that we've been saying forever right take care of yourself now uh this work was supported by the NIH's Brain Initiative which aims to advance neurotechnologies and improve treatments for brain diseases keep in mind this was a study done on mice so we still have some work to do but at least we are heading in the direction of advancement the N I H has assessed the H5N1 avian flu or bird flu as a low risk to the general public but stresses the importance of ongoing monitoring and preparedness H5N1 has circulated globally since 1996 with recent outbreaks in U S dairy cows and sporadic human cases NIH officials emphasize the need for collaboration among human and veterinary medicine public health and occupational workers to manage the threat effectively they highlight the importance of maintaining strong disease surveillance to monitor viral mutations and assess risk related to person to person transmission current vaccines and antiviral treatments have shown effectiveness against circulating strains offering a level of Protection but further development and testing remain priorities additionally public health officials encourage preventive measures such as the use of PPE or personal protective equipment for individuals working closely with poultry and livestock to reduce exposure and infection risk well most US cases have been mild minus a couple deaths I don't know what they're considering mild but the NIH continues to stress vigilance and rapid response efforts to prevent the virus from evolving into a more transmissible form um I am skipping our segment on recalls USDA and FDA recalls but I'm gonna be posting them on my website so if you wanna see the stuff that's been recalled this week you can find that there link is in the description moving on to our wisdom segment which is our last segment to kick off our wisdom enrichment here is a fun fact the first vaccine was developed in the late 18th century but people recognize the importance of immunity long before that during the plague of Athens in 430 b c the Greeks realized that people who had previously survived smallpox didn't contract the disease a second time in fact these survivors were often called upon to attend to those who afflicted with smallpox according to a 1998 article in the International Journal of Infectious Disease pretty cool so if you had it and survived you can go help people who have it now in the 10th century Chinese healers began blowing dried smallpox scabs into the noses of healthy patients who then contracted a mild form of the disease and the patients who recovered became immune to smallpox low key kind of gross but if it saves your life cool this practice was called varolation or inoculation spread to Europe and the New England in the 1700s to wrap things up I have a philosophical question to get you thinking this is a popular question amongst philosophers and people like me who spend time everyday thinking about random shit but here's the question is there such thing as free will on one side we have people like me who say no we do not have free will I personally believe we don't have free will because we're so influenced by outside forces from the culture of our society to the news we read and watch not to mention if you follow or practice any particular like faith or religion because that can influence your decisions as well so for those reasons I believe that every decision we make is influenced by everything around us just like me simply telling you that I don't believe in free will could influence you to agree or disagree with me you have free will over which toothpaste you use or which beverage to order at lunch but humanity just isn't mature enough on the other side we have people who say yes we do have free will and present a secondary argument if there is no free will then why does any of it matter why does it matter what decision we make if ultimately the decision isn't even really ours so what do you think is there such thing as free will leave a comment and let me know if you stayed until the end thank you hopefully I provided you with a ton of value if so please hit that like button and subscribe again I am reporting on some older news I apologize I'm kind of been working through some stuff as we navigate this situation out in California but until next time I'll see you on the flip side we want to warn you that the video you're seeing is of course its body cam video of a shooting it's disturbing it was given to the media by the New Orleans PD who made their own edits of it alright well ABC's Morgan Norwood has more on this hi Terry yes this newly released body camera footage is giving us a clearer look at the New Year's Day tragedy in New Orleans on Bourbon Street it's a compilation video I do want to point out and it's been edited and released by New Orleans police but it shows that suspect firing from inside that white pickup truck of course after ramming through the crowd on Bourbon Street his airbag had deployed and which is interesting because it really highlights the severity of this crash I will point out you can't see the suspect clearly in this video if you look closely just his hands but you can hear officers immediately firing back you also see them running for cover and that barrage of gunshots of ultimately killing that suspect at one point police even slowing down the video just so you can see how all of this played out but during a press conference authorities are crediting the quick response of officers on that scene there saying it likely prevented even more casualties especially since we know the suspect was armed with an assault style rifle authorities describing that situation as chaotic but says it was handled in accordance with their safety protocols and training now let's look at look ahead because we know New Orleans is increasing security measures with the events like Mardi Gras on the Super Bowl
