washington post oh no oh no what is this and we're seeing from zero hedge
00:02:37.360
the post is not only on track to lose money in 2022 after years of profitability it's been
00:02:43.980
unable to boost the number of paying contributors back to the subscribers back to the 3 million it
00:02:51.820
had in 2020 as its business has quote stalled the organization is on track to lose money in 2022
00:02:57.920
after years of profitability according to people with knowledge of the company's finances the post
00:03:01.640
now has fewer than 3 million paying digital subscribers that they had hailed internally
00:03:06.420
near the end of 2020 according to several people digital ad revenue generated by the post fell to
00:03:12.580
roughly 70 million during the first half of the year about 15 percent lower than the first half of
00:03:18.840
2021 and so as such ceo fred ryan and of course we know the owner of jeff bezos oh no oh no
00:03:26.760
they're floating the possibility that the paper may have to cut 100 positions and some of the
00:03:35.780
interesting backstory here is that this story of course is coming out in the new york times with
00:03:40.640
uh we've got zero heads writing up all the drama so what's going on clearly is you've got people at
00:03:45.060
the washington post that are going to their colleagues and in a sense competitors not really
00:03:50.020
though because they're all on the same team at the new york times and then leaking to them what their
00:03:54.080
bosses are doing because they know the layoffs are a coming sorry daddy jeffy doesn't care about you
00:04:01.360
anymore daddy jeff bezos let me just put it this way daddy jeff bezos is going to treat you the same
00:04:08.740
way he treated his first wife that's how he's going to treat the washington post so to everybody else out
00:04:14.880
there i'm so sorry but he's going to leave you for a younger more attractive curvier model and he's going
00:04:21.500
to be hanging out on his super yacht while you guys can go to the unemployment lane so taylor lorenz
00:04:27.260
i'm sorry daddy bezos you could have done better you should have listened taylor you should have
00:04:33.380
listened what else did it say over 20 people with knowledge of the washington post business operation
00:04:39.520
spoke to the new york times most of whom quote do so only on the condition of anonymity to protect
00:04:44.940
their relationship inside the organization with the exception the new york times notes that with the
00:04:49.920
exception of themselves and the wall street journal many news outlets have suffered declining readership
00:04:55.300
since president trump left office no no no no no see here's the problem because i'll tell you one
00:04:59.940
thing right now post-millennial human events real america's voice everyone across conservative media
00:05:07.140
doing great doing absolutely one of just the news fantastic pangino report revolver.news
00:05:13.000
we're experiencing unprecedented growth because here's the problem you guys kept saying that you
00:05:19.780
were going to get trump and you were going to make this your business model you did make it your
00:05:23.480
business model get trump get trump get trump the orange whale but then when he's not there you have
00:05:30.000
to find a way to bring him back that's what all these investigations are about that's what all of this
00:05:34.740
stuff is i keep saying this it's a reality show that they've created for clicks subscribers and revenue
00:05:41.840
if you go read that op-ed i was talking to john solomon about this if you go read that op-ed the new
00:05:49.420
york times wrote yesterday talking about uh how why we need to indict trump it's like reading something
00:05:56.760
from an alternate dimension they are gaslighting you worse than jeff bezos gaslighted his first wife
00:06:03.640
that's how bad it's gotten here they're telling you that everything's wrong if you imagine actually be
00:06:11.000
a subscriber and reading this stuff they're going crazier and crazier because they're chasing an
00:06:15.720
audience that is increasingly leaving them and so what are they doing they're trying to increase
00:06:21.020
the sensationalism so that the yellow journalism can go further and further i think that you know
00:06:26.840
i would submit that we refer to this era as orange journalism what do you think guys orange journalism
00:06:34.520
millions of americans are waking up to a country they don't recognize and while they recognize the
00:06:41.640
struggle to raise their families and pay the bills the media and corporations are telling them that
00:06:46.300
they are what's wrong with the country thankfully there are some companies that still believe in
00:06:50.100
america and our constitution patriot mobile is america's only christian conservative cell phone
00:06:54.740
company it's on the front lines fighting for the sanctity of life religious freedom and the
00:06:59.980
second amendment that's why patriot mobile is different from every other provider out there
00:07:03.300
inflation has made it really hard on so many americans and thankfully patriot mobile has plans

00:08:45.860
actually weeping right there and mika would be weeping as well if her botox allowed her to perform
00:08:50.400
such an involuntary function but of course she can't so here's the problem with that msnbc and
00:08:56.500
mika the new polls out and the post millennial has a story the majority believe that new irs agents
00:09:03.140
will be deployed to target low and middle income americas dc's political opponents 33 percent of
00:09:11.000
likely voters said the purpose was to target them this is conducted so the polls conducted by trafalgar
00:09:19.280
group for the convention of states action conducted august 19th through august 23rd they asked the
00:09:28.140
question president biden just signed legislation allowing irs the irs to hire 87 000 new employees
00:09:34.460
how do you believe overall 33 percent of likely voters said the purpose was to audit middle class
00:09:40.800
americans and small businesses 31.6 percent said the purpose was to audit wealthy americans and then
00:09:47.180
there's some others as it's not sure split by political party look at this this is what's
00:09:51.600
interesting to me 49 percent of democrats think the new hires will target wealthy and large americans
00:09:58.560
and corporations but a majority of republicans 50.6 percent says this is going to target middle
00:10:04.840
income americans and small business owners independents were split but 30.6 percent saying that
00:10:11.120
new agents would audit middle class americans and small businesses while 30.9 percent said the new
00:10:15.460
agents would target wealthy americans now i'll tell you something right now i think you're all wrong
00:10:20.800
i think all of you are wrong in this poll because of course we're asking who they're going to target
00:10:24.860
i'll tell you exactly who they're going to target because we talked about it here last week they're
00:10:29.800
going to target conservatives they're going to target you understand this is now the operations arm
00:10:36.700
of the preemptive coup we're seeing the preemptive coup against president trump
00:10:41.220
for 2024 it's being run out of washington dc at a main justice merrick garland behind it but as john
00:10:48.520
solomon has said yes the fbi and the white house were the trigger men the fbi was the trigger man but
00:10:55.760
the white house triggered it send us your tips by the way liberty at tpusa.com you can get in on this
00:11:01.840

00:11:06.740
to them if you send you know send me something serious i'll respond but look a lowest learner
00:11:12.520
lackey has already been appointed as the centralized head of the irs here gabe hoffman had the story
00:11:20.380
we reported at post millennial we're blowing it up here understand they're running the exact same play
00:11:27.240
they did in the mid-2000s if they can't get you at the ballot box if they can't get you in the jury box
00:11:34.760
they're going to get you in your irs box they're going to get you at the tax office that's where
00:11:39.960
it's going to come down to they are going to come after you if your name is associated with president
00:11:44.240
trump if you're associated with this movement if you're associated with maga if you're associated
00:11:48.440
with any of these you guess what you are going to be audited and you're going to be first in line
00:11:54.460
who do you think these 87 000 are for go find me find me any you know where's the jeffrey epstein
00:12:00.980
audit back when jeffrey epstein was running around you know they still don't even know
00:12:04.400
how this guy actually made his money it's kind of ridiculous no clue not to mention the client list
00:12:10.660
and everything else just go follow the money you can't follow it it's an entire black box this guy
00:12:15.700
had set up and yet all of these people were putting all their money with jeffrey epstein
00:12:20.300
if we had a serious irs you think that maybe we could you know pay attention to something like
00:12:25.900
that the sec no no no no they're hiring these people mark my words to go after you and they're
00:12:33.840
putting a lowest learner lackey in charge of all of them so they say the three-week rule may be the

00:13:31.500
that's a very risky situation yes uh absolutely i'm talking in generalities just large tech companies
00:13:39.200
need to know what the risks are and then they also need to have an appetite to go fix it there will
00:13:44.780
be suspicions of the timing of this are you guys carrying water for elon musk absolutely not we've been
00:13:51.300
following the news just like everyone else but that has nothing to do with his decisions or with
00:13:56.140
the content of of what was sent in to u.s law enforcement agencies mudge hasn't been talking
00:14:01.900
to musk in the background or anything not at all i suspect that uh twitter might try to paint it like
00:14:07.260
this that's mudge got fired and he's trying to retaliate against the company absolutely not this is
00:14:14.720
not any kind of personal issue for him your whole perception of the world is made from what you are
00:14:20.560
seeing reading and consuming online and if you don't have an understanding of what's real what's
00:14:28.980
not yeah i think this is pretty scary so we have the twitter whistleblower the hacker former hacker
00:14:34.720
mudge came out last week and elon musk is now filing new uh new motions in his lawsuit regarding the
00:14:42.420
revelations from mudge on this but there's been new internal documents and more whistleblowers and
00:14:47.900
leakers within twitter and they've leaked it to verge.com the verge the fact that twitter needs a
00:14:55.740
massive investment to remove illegal content but the executives hadn't listened what type of illegal
00:15:01.340
content were you talking about it's child pornography of course of course it's child pornography listen to
00:15:07.220
this in the spring of 2022 twitter considered making a radical change to its platform after years of
00:15:12.680
quietly allowing adult service content on twitter the company would monetize it the proposal give
00:15:18.420
adult content creators the ability to begin selling only fan style paid subscriptions with twitter keeping
00:15:23.620
a share of the revenue so twitter wanted to compete with only fans by the way this is true if you're on
00:15:29.880
twitter and you type in something that has the wrong keyword or if you type in a city name or something
00:15:35.860
like that and you go run a search you will find that adult pornography is allowed all across twitter
00:15:43.300
and jack dorsey mentioned this when he was on joe rogan he said specifically we allow pornography on
00:15:49.520
twitter it's a decision we made early on on the platform it's still there and that's when he was still
00:15:53.620
ceo however here's the problem some executives thought they okay they wanted to go in they wanted to get
00:16:01.260
adult content monetization they essentially wanted a new type of revenue for twitter by getting it on
00:16:07.380
the only fans action but before the final go ahead to launch twitter can beat 84 employees to form what
00:16:13.060
it called a red team so a red team is when you're challenging it right pressure test the decision to
00:16:17.200
allow adult creators to monetize see what happened but they what they discovered derailed the project
00:16:22.520
twitter could not safely allow adult creators love what they call it adult creators photographers
00:16:27.280
to sell subscriptions because the company was not and is still not effectively policing harmful content
00:16:33.740
on the platform what does this mean they couldn't do it because there's too much child porn across twitter
00:16:41.680
that's what it means it means there was child porn everywhere they looked on twitter when they started
00:16:47.580
typing in these key words here's from the report twitter cannot accurately detect child sexual exploitation
00:16:54.720
and non-consensual nudity at scale the company lacked the tools to verify the creators and consumers of
00:17:02.220
adult content were of legal age as a result weeks after elon musk agreed to purchase the company by the
00:17:08.880
way elon did you did twitter reveal to you that the company they were selling to you was chock full of
00:17:15.600
child porn they were trying to sell elon musk kitty porn that's what they were doing if twitter couldn't
00:17:22.740
consistently remove child sexual exploitative content on the platform today how would it even go and
00:17:28.980
monetize adult content this is completely insane it's complete and and the story goes on hundreds and
00:17:37.640
hundreds of images and videos they could not find they couldn't find it when it was consensual they
00:17:45.360
couldn't find when it was children they couldn't find any of this now i'm sorry if you're running an
00:17:50.860
online service where the goal is that people are uploading to it every day they're posting text
00:17:55.940
they're posting images they're posting videos wouldn't that be the very first thing you design
00:18:01.220
a safety team to go after but no they don't care about that they care when you want to talk about
00:18:05.060
hunter biden's laptop which by the way includes stuff of a very similar nature but they're not
00:18:09.660
interested in the child porn on twitter they're not doing anything about the child porn on twitter
00:18:14.860
in fact we just found out according to the verge they almost monetized the child porn on twitter
00:18:21.060
they've done nothing about it this company's been around for almost 20 years why is that
00:18:26.360
you know senator sanders it's not just democrat i mean republicans who have criticized this program
00:18:31.940
several of your democratic colleagues who are up for re-election this year have criticized it as
00:18:35.680
well michael bennett said president biden should have included a plan to pay for it catherine
00:18:39.540
cortez mostro she says it doesn't address the root cause of college affordability and to your
00:18:44.320
point tim ryan is running for senate in ohio said it's unfair to those with student loans who without
00:18:49.340
student loans who are struggling to make ends meet working people well the truth is uh in a sense that
00:18:58.960
criticism is correct but the answer is not to deny help to people who cannot deal with these horrendous
00:19:08.080
student debts who are delaying getting married delaying uh even having children the answer is
00:19:14.260
that maybe just maybe we want to have a government that works for all working people and not just the
00:19:21.020
people on top you know it sounds like something bernie's got a little something up with his voice
00:19:25.300
there do you hear that no maybe it's the audio i've talked to the producers about that one it's
00:19:29.340
voice i'm a little different i don't know new studies out millennials have been getting poorer
00:19:35.960
since the last recession while all other age groups have become wealthier by up to 60 percent
00:19:43.500
it's from daily mail a national bureau of economic research report found that millennials average wealth
00:19:49.480
was lower than any other generation in 2016 the key event was the 2007 great recession which saw
00:19:56.880
millennials entering the workforce with large student debt and fewer opportunities while the great
00:20:02.380
reset took a hit on the wealth of all age groups every generation except for millennials was able to
00:20:08.780
bounce back millennials are seeing a longer wealth accumulation path as they graduate marry buy houses
00:20:15.380
and receive inheritances at only ages and understand all right this is what's going on this is a result
00:20:22.140
of governments and central banks running policy to coddle older generations for three decades or more at the
00:20:30.400
expense of future generations we keep doing this we put the debt on the backs of our children the federal
00:20:36.700
reserve and administrations have been using stock prices and home prices as metrics and bubbles that
00:20:42.340
must keep inflating and inflating and inflating and ever rising stocks always go up home prices always
00:20:48.160
have to go up look but here's the problem stocks and homes are disproportionately owned by older generations
00:20:55.820
and so that when later generations try to buy in what's happening they're overpaying and they have little
00:21:02.400
upside so they're overpaying when they get it they're not generating the wealth they could be generating and
00:21:08.280
then they're still servicing this debt that they all took on during the great recession i remember i had friends
00:21:13.760
that did this they were like hey posto you know don't worry about not being able because we all graduated college
00:21:19.160
around 2007 2008 um 2006 give or take while the job market didn't exist and so they said hey posto just uh
00:21:27.920
just you know just go back to more college get some more of that get some go for your master's go for
00:21:32.760
your phd that's what so many people in my friend group my peer group but that's they were doing and i said
00:21:38.360
yeah i don't want to go get more in debt i shouldn't have any debt but i don't want to go do something
00:21:43.620
that's going to put me in debt because i don't want to be in debt period the end and then i said
