00:03:45.000We're changing things up a little bit today.
00:03:47.000We're going to be doing a deep dive into the world of finance and how the markets are going to be affected by this election in November.
00:03:55.000I'm going to be talking with Scott Besson.
00:03:57.000Scott is one of the top fund managers on Wall Street.
00:04:00.000He's the founder of Key Square Group and actually, you guys, You guys are gonna appreciate this.
00:04:06.000Actually, used to be the Chief Investment Officer for the Soros Fund, as in George Soros.
00:04:13.000So, uh, I'm sure he's probably under NDA about some of those things, but we can figure out what's going on with some of that investment.
00:04:19.000So I think it's gonna be, uh, fascinating.
00:04:22.000I think we can do a deep dive into a lot of the stuff that we're probably curious about, that rational people can't even imagine right now, given what Soros is funding out there.
00:04:34.000This is gonna be a great show and interview and later I'll also be taking your questions live.
00:04:40.000He has got a hard out so I'm gonna do news of the day.
00:04:42.000We're gonna get to Scott and then I'm gonna take your questions live because there's a lot to Going on.
00:04:47.000Obviously, you had Michael Cohen on the stand today, so I think I probably have a relatively unique perspective onto everything that's happened there and what's going on.
00:04:57.000So, guys, make sure you're hitting that like button, share, subscribe.
00:05:03.000The rest of Big Tech is totally stacked against us.
00:05:06.000We have to work harder to make sure we break through all of the noise and actually grow this movement.
00:05:12.000Remember also, folks, you can get triggered This show right here on Spotify, you can get it on Apple Podcasts, so if you miss the show here on Rumble, you can get it there.
00:05:21.000And more importantly, because you want to see my pretty face, you can even watch this show on your smart TV by downloading the Rumble app and watching Triggered with the whole family.
00:05:32.000About 99.9% of the time, it's a family-friendly show.
00:05:36.000Every once in a while, maybe I go a little bit off the rails or curse a little bit too much, but I think we also have to get our children to understand the real world, so maybe we need a little bit of both.
00:05:45.000So I think you should definitely get that.
00:05:47.000Watch it on the big screen in your homes, and everyone can learn.
00:05:52.000Also, for all of the top headlines that we spotlight here on the show, go over to my news app, MXM News, for the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
00:06:01.000And with that, folks, let's get into some of these top headlines.
00:06:42.000You know, the entire prosecution witness team has been lied to by Michael Cohen.
00:06:47.000Guys, seems like a wonderful star witness, okay?
00:06:51.000This is who they're hanging their hats on.
00:06:53.000When you've lost CNN, just so we're clear, when you've lost CNN in the witch hunt against Donald Trump, it's probably a problem, okay?
00:07:03.000Choosing Michael Cohen to serve as a witness, not just a witness, but the star witness, is like choosing Joe Biden to jump over the hurdles in track and field at the Olympics.
00:07:14.000Or, like hiring Keith Olbermann to be your anger management therapist.
00:07:19.000It's not gonna work out well, even a little bit.
00:07:23.000Cohen is uniquely qualified to tell the truth.
00:07:31.000That's what they're gonna try to tell you.
00:07:33.000But despite literally serving prison time for lying, despite being disbarred, despite being discredited and embarrassed on a world stage over and over again, he's the star witness there.
00:07:46.000Today, during his testimony, Cohen said that he couldn't remember how old his son is or how old he was when he started to work for the Trump Organization.
00:07:56.000But somehow, Magically, folks, he remembers other extremely small details from decades ago.
00:09:21.000Witness so far in my couple hours in there.
00:09:24.000First of all, Michael Cohen is the prosecution's star witness.
00:09:27.000This guy is a convicted felon who admitted in his testimony that he secretly recorded his former employer, that he only did it once, allegedly, and that this was supposed to help Donald Trump.
00:09:39.000Does any Reasonable, sensible person believe anything that Michael Cohen says.
00:09:44.000I don't think that they should and I actually think that his testimony is going to hurt with any reasonable juror and hopefully we have a few of those.
00:09:51.000I want to say two other things here very quickly.
00:09:54.000Number one, The thing that the president is prevented from saying, which is a disgrace, is that every single person involved in this prosecution is practically a democratic political operative.
00:10:06.000The judge inside, his daughter, is making millions of dollars Running against Donald Trump, raising money for Donald Trump's political opponents.
00:10:15.000The number three person in the Department of Justice, Biden's Department of Justice, left to become a local prosecutor to go after Donald Trump.
00:10:23.000And of course there's Alvin Bragg, a Soros-funded prosecutor who promised to go after Donald Trump and now is doing exactly that.
00:10:30.000Now look, Whether you love Donald Trump, whether you like Donald Trump, or whether you're a Democrat or don't care about politics, what's going on inside that courtroom is a threat to American democracy, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:45.000The problems with this case run deeper than just Michael Cohen.
00:12:27.000Listen, there's so much commentary I could give to that comment right now, but that's just gonna get me in trouble at, like, the family dinner table.
00:12:33.000But, like, There's so much I could say about that.
00:12:41.000You'd think they'd say that, you know, six years ago when it first started and she was doing her publicity tour and trying to, you know.
00:12:47.000But again, when the two star witnesses are a convicted liar, a disbarred and disgruntled attorney, and a porn star who's also changing their story, you probably don't have that much of a case.
00:13:03.000We also learned on Friday that Alvins Bragg's office tampered with evidence.
00:13:57.000It sure would be a problem if Team Trump did it.
00:14:01.000Alvin Bragg also has still not explained to the jury what the alleged underlying crime actually is.
00:14:08.000I figured that was a basic tenant Of the way our legal system is supposed to work.
00:14:14.000It's like they're gonna wait till the final stuff is presented and then they're gonna say, well, maybe we can figure out how to back into this guilty verdict.
00:15:08.000...against him, keep him in the spotlight, infuriate his base who sees him as a martyr, and even may serve to make him the object of some sympathy among people in general who believe that his prosecutors are politically motivated.
00:15:23.000This happens to be true, in my opinion.
00:15:25.000I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.
00:15:31.000A majority of Americans are skeptical that Trump will be able to get a fair trial, according to a CNN poll.
00:15:42.000Basically coming clean that the election interference has failed and that voters are rejecting the insanity of Bidenomics.
00:15:50.000They're not actually not going to believe their lying eyes.
00:15:54.000They see what's going on and they're rebelling against Democrat stupidity, insanity, and corruption.
00:16:02.000None of this is playing out as I thought it would.
00:16:04.000Trump is now leading in almost all the swing states, but behind those numbers lie even more troubling details.
00:16:13.000As someone worried about the prospects of a second Trump term, I think it's best to be honest about reality.
00:16:20.000I understand that polls are not always accurate, but in general they have tended to underestimate Donald Trump's support, not overestimate it.
00:16:28.000I doubt that there are many shy Biden voters in the country.
00:18:23.000They won't say, you know, we can't cheat that badly because no one's going to believe that we weren't able to roll this guy over the finish line.
00:20:29.000Remember, it's totally democratic for the party in power to be using their power, to be using their Department of Justice, to try to imprison their political enemies, to censor them, to suppress them, to place gag orders on them so that people can't defend themselves anymore.
00:20:49.000That's totally democratic, probably according to the same morons on MSNBC, but People are voting Trump because under Joe Biden, they are poorer and they are less safe.
00:21:32.000When you put Joe Biden on a stage, or on a flight of stairs, or at a teleprompter, what you see is utter incompetence, weakness, and stupidity.
00:22:06.000Potomac Local reported that two men in a box truck tried to force their way onto the base earlier this month.
00:22:13.000The Al-Ara reported one of the individuals inside the truck is a Jordanian foreign national who recently crossed the southern border into the United States, and that one of the occupants is on the U.S.
00:22:27.000Terrorists that have come here across our wide open porous border because of Joe Biden and Democrat policies are literally trying to take over marine bases in box trucks.
00:22:42.000What's going to happen when they come to your neighborhoods, folks?
00:23:07.000I need you to send it to your friends so they can see it.
00:23:10.000Because until I was doing research for this show, Digging way down the rabbit hole, I had no idea that that had actually transpired.
00:23:19.000You would think it would be the biggest story in the world.
00:23:22.000If it was a bunch of red hat wearing MAGA Republicans, it would be a story.
00:23:27.000But when it's terrorist watch list individuals who come here across Joe Biden's open border, taking advantage of our ridiculous policies, Nothing to be seen here, folks.
00:23:39.000We're just gonna hide it from you and pretend like it never happened.
00:23:42.000They're literally trying to brainwash you.
00:23:45.000They're manipulating you into thinking that things are alright when they are not.
00:23:49.000We have to put an end to this insanity.
00:23:53.000At the Department of Veteran Affairs, Joe Biden is practicing racism.
00:23:58.000Shouldn't surprise you based on his history, but the Washington Free Beacon reported today that the VA is offering race-based training programs that exclude white veterans.
00:24:10.000These include programs meant to deal with trauma.
00:24:13.000One VA official said that equity means realizing that treating everybody the same might not be enough.
00:24:33.000Equity means realizing that treating everyone the same might not be enough.
00:24:40.000It's why the DEI programs are destroying great American companies and doors are falling off, planes at Boeing and wheels are falling off, and eventually they'll be falling out of the sky, but you know, hey, equity!
00:25:31.000He's in prison while he's still under appeal in the presidential immunity case.
00:25:36.000So you're under appeal, but they throw him in prison anyway, because they want you to suffer.
00:25:39.000It's not, let's get to the result and let's see what actually happens once the legal system plays itself out.
00:25:45.000It's important though, that we show our support for the people who've been wrongly persecuted by the Biden administration's witch hunt against conservatives, against MAGA, against people who are American first, Peter did nothing wrong.
00:25:59.000He was the architect of our China policy.
00:26:42.000We got to do the same across the board for those who've been persecuted against us.
00:26:45.000So I guess it's also a reminder of why we need authentic America First candidates up and down the ballot in November to end this madness once and for all.
00:26:55.000So if you're watching this from West Virginia, make sure to get out there tomorrow and vote for Patrick Morrissey for governor.
00:31:12.000So Scott, you've talked about the stock market.
00:31:14.000One of the things that's perhaps the anomaly is that I see the stock market, I see where it is, and I'm like, it doesn't make any sense to me.
00:31:21.000And you've actually said that the stock market's done so well because of my father's dominance over Joe Biden in the polls.
00:31:28.000Corporate America thinks like, okay, hey, we're gonna have a chance to actually survive this.
00:31:34.000Because again, where the market is relative to what I see, Across the country, sort of the pain, the suffering, inflation, what interest rates are doing to people.
00:31:43.000It doesn't seem to jive or make all that much sense.
00:31:47.000So, Don, let's go backwards from there.
00:31:51.000When you said, you know, the pain and what you're seeing is, you know, with the Biden economy, what's really happening is this great, I call it the great bifurcation.
00:32:02.000And we've got a two-tier economy and the top 20% have never done so well.
00:32:08.000And, you know, I'm talking about wage earners, asset earners, and the bottom 50% are just getting schmeisted.
00:32:16.000And, you know, it's the opposite of when your father was president.
00:32:20.000You know, when your father was president, capital did well, labor did well.
00:32:24.000The bottom 50% of wage earners had, you know, real wage gains.
00:32:29.000They had real household net worth increases.
00:32:33.000The top end did just fine, but in the Biden economy, the top end does great, big companies do great, but the lower half and small business is doing terrible.
00:32:48.000And when I call this the Trump stock market rally, it's based on two different factors.
00:32:55.000One is the market focusing on November 5th, And President Trump's policies being restored when he wins, and the Trump tax cuts being extended or made permanent, energy independence, light touch regulation, and some semblance of order overseas.
00:33:18.000But the other thing that's equally important is the Biden apparatus is now panicked.
00:33:25.000And I tell you that completely inappropriate speech that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave in Arizona on Friday, saying that democracy was at risk.
00:33:37.000You know, she is panicked that Biden is behind.
00:33:42.000And so she is flooding the zone with liquidity.
00:33:47.000She's adding short term risk to try to get her guy, you know, to.
00:33:54.000...hobble across the finish line on November 5th.
00:33:58.000You know, bad for the country, but short-term good for the stock market.
00:34:02.000So, you know, we're in the nirvana portion right now.
00:34:06.000So, markets focusing on Trump pro-growth policies, and then the Biden economic apparatus just pumping in, you know, anything at all costs to try to get him across the line.
00:34:20.000So, you know, I'm reading about, you know, Joe Biden, he wants to let the Trump tax cuts expire and then raise capital gains tax to 44.6%.
00:34:30.000I mean, what effect would that have long term, but also what effect would that have You know, in the next year, I mean, I think if that's coming, hey, if that's coming next year, I mean, do people just sort of, you know, dump all their stocks, take the sort of realized gains right now at a lower long-term capital gains rate, rather than risk that?
00:34:53.000What do you think goes on with all of that?
00:34:55.000Yeah, no, look, I think that you framed it really well, is I think the market would be in for a shock.
00:35:08.000I'm sure you remember better than anyone.
00:35:10.000In November 2016, with your dad's surprise—it didn't surprise me, but surprised the pundits, Uh, the pollsters, uh, you know, when is the market initially crashed on election night and then took off because it realized we were going to have the most pro business president maybe ever, but certainly the, uh, in a hundred years, I, I think we could get the opposite of that.
00:35:40.000I think the market would go down and just stay down in the event of a Biden win.
00:35:46.000And to your point, it would be the largest tax increase in history if the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act isn't renewed.
00:35:53.000in history if the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act isn't renewed.
00:36:00.000And this is already with, you know, there's not much gas left in the tank, as you said,
00:36:08.000is we're running these gigantic budget deficits.
00:36:11.000We're running a 7% peacetime budget deficit.
00:36:53.000By the way, the inflation sort of works well for me, because that's what happens to those kinds of assets.
00:36:59.000Even if it's sort of, you know, Perhaps only nominal not not real because the inflation gets you in other ways But it is scary to think about that because like why would anyone invest in anything if if you're your capital?
00:37:14.000If your potential gains especially for holding long term are going to be so penal You know and if that's coming the people who have those sort of let's call it gains in place But but I've been holding I could see them dumping everything, and that works fine for a person who's able to trade that way, but people who have 401ks, people who are tied into the markets, people who have long-term pensions, those pension funds aren't going to liquidate, but I could see that being a serious problem for a lot of that sort of unfunded pension liability, etc., that's out there in the country for blue-collar, hard-working Americans.
00:37:49.000Well, you know, you know, just just for starters, we'd get, you know, an immediate 10 or 15% sell off just based on the corporate tax rate dropping and, you know, interest rate, excuse me, tax rates going up, earnings going down.
00:38:03.000So, you know, that's just for starters.
00:38:06.000And then, you know, there's all the regulatory uncertainty.
00:38:09.000And I'm not going to put words in your mouth, but I think you agree with me that whichever candidate wins in November, he has a mandate.
00:38:21.000For Trump 2.0, everything that your dad's been put through, when he goes across the finish line and wins on November 5th, he will have a mandate.
00:38:32.000But if somehow Joe Biden is the winner, he will have a mandate for super progressive policies that the majority of the country doesn't want, and bad economically.
00:38:47.000But, you know, he's going to double down on him.
00:38:50.000Joe Biden win will be proof that, you know, fiscal irresponsibility, high regulation, you know, this Green New Deal, which is just going to, you know, a giveaway and doesn't help production, unfettered immigration.
00:39:05.000They're going to double down and the market will not like that.
00:39:10.000And, you know, add in, you know, as you said, the globally, Uh, you know, everything that's going on is whether it's China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela is, you know, they're all going to take it as they all clear symbol or they all clear sign to keep doing more of what they're doing.
00:39:36.000And I mean, I think it puts our long-term prosperity at incredible risk.
00:39:40.000I'm curious, you know, just because I keep seeing it today, what do you make of some of these, the meme stocks like GameStop and, you know, people doubling back down into all of that?
00:39:56.000And again, after everything we've seen, how is that going and what do you make of it?
00:40:01.000Yeah, what I make of it is the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell keeps saying he's going to cut interest rates because financial conditions may be tight.
00:40:10.000When you get speculation like this, this is not a sign that financial conditions are tight.
00:40:25.000It just tells me that there's a lot of liquidity out there, and people are willing to kind of shoot the moon in an effort to try to stay ahead.
00:40:41.000I came to the conclusion over the weekend that Biden is lost on the economic issues.
00:40:47.000The American people will never trust this administration, I believe, to handle The economy, given the great inflation that happened, given what's happened to interest rates with mortgages, people under 40 despondent that they're never going to be able to own a home.
00:41:06.000And look, I think it's a combination of policy is not too tight and people are desperate.
00:41:24.000Yeah, no, I guess that's what it's just, it's the ultimate gambling.
00:41:27.000And you sort of want to see these guys win, but I see it also with a lot of the conservative stocks, you know, the few that are out there, whether it's, you know, again, you know, Public Square or Rumble or, you know, probably, you know, DJT.
00:41:39.000I'm not allowed to talk about that because I'm on the board, but like, You see sort of a lot of almost artificial short selling trying to prevent those guys from being able to succeed.
00:41:48.000You saw that sort of in the original GameStop, right?
00:41:54.000They had billions that they could sort of wait it out.
00:41:56.000And, you know, ultimately, you know, what do you see there?
00:42:00.000Because it does feel like if I look at some of these, you know, the few conservative stocks that are out there listed, You look at revenues, you look at earnings, you look at everything, you compare that to another stock that's out there that's, you know, let's call it more progressive, and their valuations are so much more.
00:42:17.000They don't have that same negativity around it.
00:42:22.000Look, I, you know, I think there's a general bent in terms of mainstream media reporting is, you know, I can talk about DJT and, you know, I would say that the media coverage is definitely biased is, you know, there are all these other growth stocks that are supposed to be, you know, these incredible Silicon Valley darlings that don't make money for 2, 3, 4, 5 years and then they come out swinging on DJT's revenues or projections, and it's not balanced coverage.
00:42:59.000So you used to be chief investment officer for the Soros Fund.
00:43:03.000I know in the live chat, I get that a lot.
00:43:05.000Obviously, it's someone who's funding a lot of stuff that certainly my following doesn't understand, doesn't believe in.
00:43:12.000It seems like you're a conservative guy as well, so I'm curious what that was like and perhaps what was he like?
00:43:22.000Look, that George Soros is one of the world's greatest investors.
00:43:28.000And unfortunately for our side, he applied that to, you know, politics.
00:43:34.000And I feel like myself included, a lot of us got caught flat footed.
00:43:40.000And look, you know, George is strategic.
00:43:43.000He is ruthless and he is persistent, and he just kept trying until he worked out this formula, whether it was with the district attorneys or all these dark money groups.
00:44:01.000Everyone asks me, why am I coming out now into politics?
00:44:08.000One, I see what's happening with Bidenomics, or as I call it, Bidenitis, and the economy.
00:44:16.000And two, I've seen it from the inside, and I know how that machine works.
00:44:23.000And, you know, I want to use my resources to try to do the same thing for our side.
00:44:55.000And listen, for those watching in the live chat, you know, obviously you're going to be under, you know, NDA, there's only so much you could say, but what do you think sort of drives that worldview?
00:45:04.000You know, when you have someone, It feels like they're trying to create chaos.
00:45:10.000It's not, you know, about liberty or fairness.
00:45:13.000I mean, you know, defund the police, let criminals out, make sure that, you know, rapists and murderers are released immediately.
00:45:22.000I mean, I think Elon basically said he just hates humanity.
00:45:25.000I don't know if you agree or not, but, you know, as someone who spent, you know, a lot of time in the area, you know, what's the upside for that?
00:45:32.000I mean, you know, he has children or a child, I guess, and, you know, What's gonna happen, I guess, are they just powerful enough that they can have armed guards and live behind walls that they don't actually have to ever see the pain that's ultimately inflicted into the places where these policies, you know, are put into effect?
00:45:52.000Yeah, look, I think in general a lot of people at a certain level become very detached and, as you said, move around kind of like heads of state with security and armed guards.
00:46:07.000And George Orwell had this great saying, you know, it's an idea so stupid only an intellectual could believe it.
00:46:15.000Um, so, um, you know, I can't say much more than that, but I, you know, some, some of these things that, you know, it just, it boggles, it boggles the mind that anyone, you know, would think this would work.
00:46:31.000One of my favorite books is the Stanford Hoover Institute intellectual Thomas Sowell.
00:46:39.000He has a book called The Vision of the Anointed.
00:46:42.000And I like his phraseology, the anointed, and there's certain people in the world who just think that they know better.
00:46:50.000It's this elite attitude, whether it's in COVID and foreign policy.
00:46:57.000These are the same people who think that they can dictate military policy to Israel, that Israel doesn't know how to fight their own war, that It's just a stream of endless sort of crisis response and failure, and there's rarely any accountability.
00:47:20.000And Don, I think the real word is accountability.
00:47:30.000At the end of the day, the politicians are accountable to the American people, but there's a whole group of, whether it's policymakers, the donors to these organizations, and there's no accountability.
00:47:46.000Yeah, I mean, listen, I think the best example I saw, I guess, you know, video clips over the weekend where Biden's economic advisor, I think his name's Jared Bernstein, he was literally getting mocked for totally stumbling over, you know, if you're in that position, you're an economic advisor to the President of the United States.
00:48:03.000I mean, he just totally botched a basic question on how money works.
00:48:10.000How much of these issues are actual policy, and how much are personnel?
00:48:16.000Are they just sort of like, hey, he was a bundler and he raised us a lot of money.
00:48:20.000It's sort of like, you know, Anthony Blinken became Secretary of State because he's the guy that corralled the 51 intelligence officers to say that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, even though anyone with a brain realized it wasn't.
00:48:33.000You know, are they just putting incompetence in these positions?
00:48:36.000Because like, Man, I don't do anything like that, and I feel like I would have done a significantly better job answering that question.
00:48:44.000I mean, just basic economics, he just didn't even seem to understand it.
00:48:49.000And yet, this is someone who wields a lot of power in this economy, in this White House, and to not have a basic understanding of these things seems truly scary.
00:49:02.000Yeah, look, it was a shocking interview, and there's a lot about it that I found shocking.
00:49:08.000He was asked a question on modern monetary theory, and look, if someone had asked me that question, I would have said, look, MMT, as it's known, is neither modern, nor monetary, nor theory.
00:49:22.000It's the idea of just Uncontrolled spending has been around forever.
00:49:52.000This is why we had this great inflation that the American people have never recovered from.
00:49:58.000Yeah, how do you assess, you know, speaking of some of these policies, again, you know, when we're talking meme stocks, you know, I can hear the printers whirring in the background, you know, printing more money, but how do you assess Jerome Powell's performance?
00:50:11.000Do you think he's ever going to lower interest rates before November to try to sort of help Joe Biden get across the finish line?
00:50:18.000I feel like they're playing so many, you know, short-term games, you know, eventually you have to pay the piper, But they don't really care as long as they get what they want.
00:51:18.000You know, Costco is selling between 100 million, 200 million dollars of gold bars a day.
00:51:24.000So, you know, you've got this incredibly sophisticated investor, the Chinese government, and then you've got ordinary Americans who've lost confidence.
00:51:34.000And I have a contrary view about what Jerome Powell's doing, is I actually think he may have done in President Biden by trying to help him too much.
00:52:02.000And that's what happened is, you know, I had an editorial on Fox Digital last week, basically called Jerome Powell ate the marshmallow, which, you know, the famous marshmallow test is for children.
00:52:14.000And are they able to exercise self-control?
00:52:19.000And, you know, postpone gratification.
00:52:23.000And, you know, I actually think that the Fed, having lost a tremendous amount of credibility, fell to the American people in 2021, did one of the fastest interest rate hiking cycles in history.
00:52:36.000And so we cruise into late fall of 23.
00:52:41.000Inflation was dropping, but economic growth was flattening out.
00:52:47.000And Jerome Powell walked out of the FOMC meetings in November and December.
00:52:54.000The FOMC statements were very anodyne, very middle of the road, but he goosed the economic conditions, goosed the stock market, loosened financial conditions, so the economy took off again, but so did inflation.
00:53:10.000So now, you know, inflation this spring has been quite high.
00:53:15.000I actually think if he hadn't done that, probably he could be cutting interest rates now.
00:53:19.000And, you know, it's back to my earlier point that by loosening financial conditions, who benefits from that?
00:53:26.000It's the top 20% and the bottom 50% is the getting run over.
00:53:33.000So, you know, in Biden's America, you either own assets or you have debt.
00:53:40.000And if you own assets, you know, Jay Powell, And Janet Yellen are pumping up asset prices and like this unstable equilibrium or you have debt and the interest rates are high and we've now seen the credit card delinquencies of 30 days just hit a record.
00:54:00.000They're three and a half percent of all credit cards are now delinquent.
00:54:05.000That is the highest that they have recorded since they started keeping the statistics in 2012.
00:54:21.000I mean, that's not, that's not like something that goes away one month or just by, by luck.
00:54:25.000I mean, that, that, that's a serious problem.
00:54:27.000I mean, I love the analogy of, you know, ate, ate the marshmallow because, you know, for those of you who don't know, it's sort of the, you put a kid there, you give them a marshmallow, it was like $10,000 and you, you know, they choose the instant gratification of the marshmallow.
00:54:38.000I've used it as an example in my memes of why we don't let children decide what gender
00:54:44.000they're going to be at three years old and mutilate their bodies, but I guess the same
00:54:48.000thing applies and that's what's going on right now.
00:54:51.000We're doing the quick fixes for the instant gratification, but what it does to us in the
00:55:01.000And we're already seeing that play out before the election, which, you know, I guess good for us, but it becomes a much larger problem to try to fix because the more you do this, the further down the hole you go, the harder it is to get out.
00:55:14.000Yeah, and look, there are all these kind of spurious stories of whether President Trump would fire the Chair Powell and all this.
00:55:24.000I can tell you, if I were Joe Biden, I'd be coming after him because in trying to help, because his thinking is so linear and we live in a non-linear world, he's actually hurt his election chances, which I find very amusing.
00:55:44.000What do you think, you know, with everything going on, not obviously central bank related, but as it relates to, you know, cryptocurrency and everything happening there?
00:55:53.000Obviously, you know, we're sort of against the central bank stuff, because I think it defeats everything that those who believe in crypto are probably about, which is exactly why the government wants to, you know, do it.
00:56:02.000But what about, you know, crypto in general?
00:56:05.000What do you see happening in those markets?
00:56:06.000What do you think the future of that is?
00:56:08.000I know there's gonna be a lot of people curious, sort of in the live chat about that.
00:56:13.000Yeah, look, I think it's super exciting.
00:56:16.000I live in the Bahamas part of the year.
00:56:20.000I sussed out Sam Bankman Freed pretty early on as being a fraud and was happy to see him get sentenced.
00:56:32.000I didn't think the sentence was high enough.
00:56:35.000And look, I think the interesting thing about crypto Several fold is one is the technology associated with it.
00:56:46.000Two is anytime you have competition, it should make the incumbent better.
00:56:52.000You know, a good incumbent gets better because of competition.
00:56:56.000So if the US Treasury, the US dollar, if we have to improve our policies because money is coming out of the dollar into gold into crypto, Then, you know, that is a standard that we have to compete against as opposed to not having competition.
00:57:14.000And thirdly, I think the great thing about crypto is it's getting a whole generation excited about free markets.
00:57:25.000And, you know, could it be a govern better?
00:57:28.000Perhaps, but we really need to put in some durable, long-term solutions to helping people invest in crypto because it's not going anywhere.
00:57:43.000It's the ultimate sort of free market.
00:57:45.000In a time where a lot of those free markets seem to be at risk or on the table, or I guess if you took the libertarian approach, so heavily taxed or regulated that are they actually free, even if they're Well, you know, it's that, but it's also, look, I am sympathetic to the millennial generation that they've had a bad ride so far with what is called capitalism.
00:58:17.000Maybe they live through the dot-com bust.
00:58:20.000You know, if they're a little younger, that they had the great financial crisis and then COVID and the great inflation.
00:58:26.000And, you know, the surveys show that there is a lack of confidence in the free market and capitalism.
00:58:35.000And, you know, my message to them is always, you know, you haven't seen real capitalism.
00:58:43.000You've seen poor regulation and that, you know, Crypto is getting people and this generation excited about the possibilities, and that's how we keep capital and the capital markets going in the United States.
00:59:08.000Listen, hey, and that education process, again, perhaps as long as you're not betting the farm or the house on something like that, just that education process.
00:59:16.000I know my son's sort of fascinated in some of this stuff as well, and it's a learning experience before, you know, Before a lot of people would be doing that.
00:59:24.000And I think that that's so important to learn at an early age, because you make your mistakes when it's small, you learn it, understand it and allows you to succeed later.
00:59:33.000And so I guess maybe I know you have a hard out in a couple of minutes, but I'd like to ask, you know, with that these days, you know, what does it take to be a successful fund manager?
00:59:42.000What separates the good from the bad in 2024?
00:59:46.000Yeah, look, I think it's the same as it's always been, is thinking about the long term, paying attention to the short term, and the main thing for me is being able to separate reality from noise.
01:00:05.000is, and I'm fortunate to have going into the election, everyone tells me, oh, like Trump 2.0 is gonna be chaos,
01:00:14.000it's gonna be this, it's gonna be that.
01:00:16.000And I'm like, no, I wrote to my investors and said, I think there's a chance that Trump 2.0
01:01:46.000I really appreciate you doing this, taking the time, you know, different worldview, different kind of interview in terms of the finance side of things.
01:01:53.000Where can people find you so they can follow you, they can check out what you're doing?
01:01:57.000You know, I know that there's sort of a general discontent that there's so many people in your world that just, you know, don't believe in any of the policies that, you know, certainly my following does.
01:02:05.000So I'm sure they'd love to check you out and see what you're doing.
01:02:16.000That's a central email for our firm, and I'm happy to answer any questions.
01:02:24.000Love to come back, and I really enjoyed this.
01:02:27.000And again, I am, you know, I'm optimistic.
01:02:32.000I am, you know, the news now is, you know, it's kind of multi-crisis all the time, but markets live in the future and hopefully January 21, 2025, you know, markets will start anchoring on that.
01:02:52.000Well, I really appreciate the time, man.
01:02:59.000And we're going to go do... I'm going to do some Q&A now, because I know people are probably curious about that from the financial side.
01:03:06.000Scott's going to be certainly more qualified than me to answer those questions, obviously.
01:03:10.000Also, if you're on Locals, I'll go over there live simultaneously now.
01:03:16.000So, you know, if you do the AMAs after the show, Uh, the regular one, you know, I'll do this here, but I'll, you know, it's sometimes a little hard to follow the live chat because so many people are, you know, on it and asking questions.
01:03:28.000So if you're on Locals, go over to there.
01:03:29.000You'll be able to stream it simultaneously, but you'll be able to get your questions in.
01:03:34.000Uh, yeah, let me see both of them, guys.
01:03:48.000Also, oh, before I get there, just make sure you guys are liking, sharing, subscribing, okay?
01:03:52.000I don't tell you guys to do that enough.
01:03:54.000Uh, I probably should a little bit more.
01:03:56.000There's always a little bit of a, uh...
01:03:59.000You know, there's a discrepancy between how many people are watching live and how many people are liking it, and that's not just the trolls.
01:04:05.000So, you know, take the effort to do that.
01:04:08.000Also, don't forget later on to, you know, I know Scott had sort of, you know, mentioned Gold, so text Don Jr.
01:04:14.000to 989898 to learn about putting your 401k or existing IRAs into an IRA in Gold with the Birch Group and our sponsors.
01:04:53.000So, you know, in the old like, hey, you don't like it, build your own.
01:04:56.000I literally built a publishing company.
01:04:59.000We're actually publishing Peter Navarro's book right now.
01:05:03.000You know, I've done Carrie Lake and Marjorie Taylor Greene and like a lot of the people in the movement that literally can't get another liberal publisher to do it.
01:05:12.000You know, it's, you know, they always say, oh, you don't You don't like it?
01:05:34.000We were debanked, deplatformed, all that stuff.
01:05:36.000So they say build your own, but then they throw up every roadblock imaginable.
01:05:40.000They don't actually mean it, but when guys like, You know, me take that time and the effort to make sure that you can see it.
01:05:46.000It's awesome if you guys can support those kind of things.
01:05:48.000So I actually started a group called Winning Team Publishing.
01:05:51.000So I was actually gonna work on a... I was starting to work on a book on government waste.
01:05:55.000And the problem is I just... I had another book and this and the campaign and I...
01:06:00.000So, I will get to that eventually, because I have two books out.
01:06:03.000I wrote Triggered, you know, I guess in 17, sort of right after the election, the story of the election, plus sort of my political leanings.
01:06:11.000You know, that became a New York Times number one bestseller.
01:06:15.000I did another second book that I started publishing myself, because I was like, why am I giving all this sort of to a publisher that probably hates my guts and all of this stuff?
01:06:23.000I started my publishing company, did my second book, would have also been a number one bestseller, but the New York Times number one bestseller list no longer looked at it because it wasn't from one of the big houses, even though I said, hey, here's my Shopify account.
01:06:35.000You can look at all of the information and see for yourself that it's legit and real.
01:06:42.000So I started winning team publishing that, you know, part of, I'm putting out Peter Navarro's book.
01:06:47.000Uh, you can get that at NumagaDeal.com.
01:06:51.000If you want to check that out, help support Peter.
01:06:53.000This is the one I spoke about with him, uh, right the day before he went into prison.
01:06:58.000Um, you know about the plan, uh, you know for this election and what would be the plan under the the second trump term Uh, so the long sorry long-winded answer to your question.
01:07:10.000Yes, i've got two bestsellers already, but i've been publishing other people's bestsellers and uh trying to make sure that we get all of that word out so I will get to it.
01:07:18.000I've actually really enjoyed the process of doing that and uh, so it's been great, but you know, there's a A lot going on.
01:08:46.000So it went from being 100% fine, and I was, you know, a couple days before that, I was like, you know, squatting 300 pounds, no problems, and literally one step and just pop, snap.
01:08:57.000I have a good buddy that's a top orthopedic surgeon.
01:09:02.000In the country, does a bunch of, you know, great athletes and all that stuff.
01:09:05.000And he was like, he got me in, you know, I got home.
01:09:18.000Tuesday at 3, I was on the operating table, and less than five days out, whatever it is, I'm pretty much... I don't think I could run, but I'm walking without too much of a limp even right now.
01:10:06.000Wiz jimmies, you've busted all sorts of bones, nine motorcycle accidents, go slow and recover good.
01:10:11.000Yes, by the way, good advice, like I have, I'm the similar guy, like I have, I've broken every major bone in my body.
01:10:19.000Probably well over a thousand stitches, severed tendons, torn ACs, 15 pins in a plate in my ankle, like I'm a mess.
01:10:25.000I'm the guy that's hoping for like medical, like orthopedic You know, medicine to catch up to like my early onset arthritis from what we call a misspent youth in terms of just having an underdeveloped sense of self-preservation.
01:11:12.000I don't know about that, but... USA Now and... okay.
01:11:18.000What they have done, why so many broken bones.
01:11:21.000So, like I said, growing up, sort of, you know, it's why, like, I sort of have, like, an adventure lifestyle magazine.
01:11:27.000I'm that guy that, like, try everything, jump off mountains with parachutes, try a mixed diver, licensed airplane pilot, free diver.
01:11:35.000Like, I just, I love sort of adventure, and I do think that whatever, like, when they were handing out, like, a sense of self-preservation, I skipped it, and so, You know, whether it was mountain bikes or whitewater kayaking or whatever, you know, motorcycles and motocross like I just did all of that stuff growing up as a kid.
01:11:51.000I was blessed to be able to do it and you know, so you know when you're the guy that's like, I'll go first.
01:11:59.000It's like eventually that catches up to you, you know, so you combine the sports with a little bit of a Otherwise misspent youth, and yeah, you do a little bit of damage.
01:12:10.000Steph71, glad to hear the news going good.
01:12:58.000I know I got to start traveling again, campaign trail and a bunch of other stuff and probably go see DJT in court next week.
01:13:05.000Just, you know, not that I can help with anything, but just, you know, there's this, you know, show of force, sign of support, no different than sort of, you know, me going down to visit Peter Navarro in prison on Saturday.
01:13:17.000Still in crutches then, but, you know, we just got to, we got to be out there and we got to stand up against the tyranny that we're seeing transpire.
01:13:26.000Dapper Dave, you're thinking if dad picks JD Vance, then he can negotiate with the governor of Ohio to pick Vivek to serve as senator.
01:13:35.000I mean, listen, everyone, it's no secret that I'd love JD to be VP.
01:13:42.000I think while they're holding my father up in a courtroom and they're going to continue to try to do so for You know, months on end, you need someone who can take the fight to the lunatics.
01:13:50.000And you watch him on CNN, you watch him take out these reporters and just, you know, make a mockery of them.
01:13:56.000You know, they don't... Well, you said that, you know, elections were rigged.
01:14:01.000Like, not, you know, we don't have to agree with their narrative just because they pretend that they know what they're talking about because they don't.
01:14:07.000So I love a JD out there as a fighter.
01:14:21.000For those of you who either love JD or want to learn more about him, JD's gonna be on Triggered on Thursday, so you're going to want to see that one.
01:14:31.000I'm sure he will bring the heat because he always does.
01:14:34.000Just, you know, someone who's become a very good friend, incredible background, I mean, you know.
01:14:39.000He wrote the book, Hillbilly Algae, about sort of his childhood in Appalachia and growing up about as poor as it gets and just crushing it.
01:14:47.000I mean, this is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the top future people in the America First movement, already is probably our strongest advocate in the United States Senate by a long shot.
01:15:58.000So yeah, but yeah, make sure to tune in on Thursday or, you know, download the Rumble app so you can get a notification when we go live, triggered on Thursday.
01:17:07.000You may not win a state for the presidency, but if you can pick up some of those House seats, you know, they're doing the gerrymandering thing in New York.
01:17:13.000They're trying to pull all those wins away from conservatives.
01:17:15.000Like, that's what you have to deal with.
01:17:17.000I mean, you know, there's a lot of things we'd like to do, but we also got to live in the real world and understand how these things go, how they happen.
01:17:31.000I mean, man, based on those crowds, maybe it is.
01:17:34.000But again, we have to convert those ballots, that enthusiasm into actual ballots, right?
01:17:40.000The Democrats are going to show up with ballots, whether they're harvested, whether they're illegal, whether they're from people who no longer live there or died years ago.
01:17:48.000You know, they're going to show up with ballots.
01:18:22.000You know, you heard from someone who used to work for George Soros just earlier in the show, like, you know, there's a lot of money, a lot of, you know, whether it's unfounded or insane, the ideology is there and they're going to keep putting billions behind it.
01:19:52.000It's pretty crazy and pretty disgusting.
01:19:56.000So I think Melania probably intelligently put an end to that, because I can only imagine what What the jackals the hyenas in the mainstream media would try to do to an 18 year old kid I don't think he's done anything wrong, but I you know who the hell knows what they'd come up with So probably a probably a smart move.
01:20:15.000I saw the internet ablaze the other day.
01:20:16.000Oh, it's great He's gonna be in the game like I was like, I don't know if that's the greatest idea ever That's uh, you know only because I understand just how depraved and evil our media is Would it be a good idea for DJT to be interviewed by Russell Brand?
01:20:44.000He's going to be over here for like a little while.
01:20:46.000I think he's going to be on the west coast of Florida.
01:20:48.000But I know I was talking with Chris Pawlowski at the Rumble event that we did on Friday in Toronto.
01:20:55.000As I hobbled around there on my crutches, but I know he said he was gonna be in town in the next couple of weeks and so I'll probably head over there hang out with those guys.
01:21:06.000Maybe we'll do something Maybe we get something going on with my father or not again It's sort of tied up in court, and it's not so easy right like they basically took out you know the work week For his ability to actually, you know, be out there.
01:21:39.000Probably one of the biggest stars, perhaps.
01:21:42.000in the world ever and you know that was fine and the second he starts questioning the narrative all of a sudden he's you know a predator and you know like from 35 years ago it's like he wasn't predator like two years ago and he was like one of the most famous people in the world but now now he is it's You see him doing it over and over again.
01:21:59.000It's literally the Trump playbook and they use it and they run it and they weaponize it against everyone.
01:22:03.000one. G man 111 111 111 I guess you're putting up Peter Navarro's information
01:22:08.000in there as it relates to you know, for those of you who want to send them
01:22:10.000letters of support, etc. I saw that just now in the live chat. I think that's
01:22:15.000right. I didn't see it enough. But you know, maybe what we can do is we can
01:22:19.000find it and we can post it in the you know, underneath the stream.
01:22:23.000So for those of you who want to, you know, reach out and support a great patriot, you can do that.
01:22:57.000And so, yeah, we'll, we'll post that up here, you know, under the, you know, under the, maybe not in the chat because it's gonna be hard to, you put it under the, yeah.
01:23:21.000I'm a big believer, the guys I know who have not done well, and by the way, my dad's very anti, if you don't have to get cut, don't get cut.
01:23:30.000There were a couple other times I was going to get cut, whether it's for separated shoulder, torn AC, severed bicep tendon, where I was gonna do something, and they were like, hey, try it out.
01:24:01.000Osteopathic doctor, I guess is the official term.
01:24:06.000And a couple times I was gonna get my shoulder fixed and the guy was like, I don't think it's your shoulder.
01:24:10.000And even the surgeons were like, hey, we think we can fix it, but we think it could be this, it could be that, it could be that.
01:24:15.000Well, that's like 33%, so we're gonna, like, remove, you know, a bicep tendon and try to put it onto a different spot to free up some whatever, like, it's... And the guy's like, I think it's coming from your neck.
01:24:25.000He snapped me around, like, twice, and within, like, a week, I was literally lifting overhead, and I was, like, saved myself, you know, nine months of recovery and a surgery.
01:24:32.000So, uh, if I can avoid getting cut, I usually will, but yes, if you do have to get cut, uh, do the PT.
01:24:48.000And as someone who's got, like I said, neck and, you know, it comes back every, you know, every couple of months, or just sleeping on planes and stuff when I'm traveling a lot.
01:24:57.000And it's like, it's literally neck pain, but it manifests for me as like shoulder pain.
01:25:01.000So my, when my shoulder gets all weird, it's actually my neck, but it doesn't feel like it, it feels like it's my shoulder.
01:25:05.000And so I gotta, you know, so yeah, do the PT, put in that time.
01:25:10.000And for me, you know, Try to stay in shape, try to stay strong.
01:25:15.000You know, never know when the zombie apocalypse is coming or whatever the hell else they throw at you.
01:25:18.000So, uh, you know, I train hard to kick ass at life.
01:25:22.000But, but with that and years of it, uh, it ends up with some problems.
01:25:27.000So yeah, you got to take care of yourself, uh, as well.
01:25:45.000But yeah, he'll snap me around like a chiropractor, but he's an osteopathic doctor.
01:25:51.000And man, my guy down here in Florida literally has like, It changed my life like it's it's huge so I'm a I'm a huge believer uh in Dio and it's it's it's not just sort of uh you know you know cutting for for the sake of cutting and stuff like that and again my friends that are you know the guy that did my knee he's a good friend of mine but like you know if I gotta get cut you get cut and you know but he's not one of those guys that's gonna convince you that
01:26:17.000You know, hey, everything needs a surgery, right?
01:26:19.000When you're a hammer, everything's a nail.
01:26:21.000Especially in our medical system, but that's why it's nice to have friends like that.
01:26:24.000They'll give you the honest opinion, not just say, yeah, surgery will probably fix that and we'll make a couple bucks and whatever.
01:26:31.000So yeah, my guy's just an awesome, awesome guy.
01:26:34.000Maga Patriot, I will not give you his name.
01:26:36.000I don't know if he needs the shit that he'd get for that.
01:26:41.000But a super great doctor, super good friend.
01:26:43.000And man, like I said, I haven't even had to take the painkillers, you know, even the day of the surgery.
01:27:39.000swamp, yes, while a swamp may be a life, you know, beginning area, I know the swamps down here in Florida, you know, the Everglades, like, it's the genesis of a lot of life and so much.
01:27:59.000Yeah, I tore my rotator cuff, separated my AC in a motocross crash 15 years ago.
01:28:06.000And it's like, that's literally the one that still gets me, even though, like, you know, there's just times it's like, can't lift overhead, can't do this.
01:28:14.000And that's where the DO, you know, snapping, it was, like I said, injury was shoulder, but it's like, It comes from the neck and when he when he fixes my neck, the shoulder clears up and it's like literally I go from like being able to do nothing to lifting overhead and you know full range of motion and everything that sort of sort of amazing.
01:28:33.000We defeat the Swamp by changing the moral landscape.
01:28:38.000I think sometimes, you know, we do the morality thing and we lose, you know, fighting an unrealistic battle, because while that may be right and great, if the other side's not playing by the same rules, you know, sometimes we give up a lot in that fight.
01:28:54.000We can be our own worst enemies in a lot of that.
01:29:01.000Oh my god, I might be getting PTSD from hearing in his injuries.
01:29:04.000Yeah, I had a lot of both in both my legs, my right ankle twice, my left ankle once I have 15 pins and a plate I think in my right ankle, both my wrists, shoulder, separated AC torn rotator cuff.
01:29:21.000Obviously, you know, fingers, knuckles from like Fighting you know a Muay Thai and all that stuff growing up
01:29:28.000and All of that stuff, you know fractured fractured other stuff
01:29:33.000higher up and worse, too But yeah now I've done it all probably I'd say well north
01:29:38.000of a thousand stitches Like I said a lot of fun misspent youth very underdeveloped
01:29:45.000sense of self-preservation And I'm hoping that medical technology catches up to my
01:29:51.000injuries and my early onset arthritis because otherwise It's gonna hurt a lot.
01:30:45.000Yeah, listen, I'm a believer in all that stuff, so it's like, you know, I'd much rather take that than a lot of the other crap they'd, you know, give us.
01:30:53.000But no, you know, one of the things I've been working on, a buddy of mine who's sort of a world-class You know, bodybuilder and lifter, but, you know, because of that has, you know, done a lot of, you know, injuries and damage to himself.
01:31:06.000Jason Poston, he told me from my shoulder also to start taking some of the peptide stuff.
01:31:10.000And I've started playing with that and like, you know, BPC-157 and like, and I'm like, come on.
01:31:16.000Like, yeah, I took the pills for a while.
01:31:17.000Didn't really notice anything with the pills.
01:31:19.000Started taking the injectable peptides and literally in like four days, I was like, Jesus, like it was, it was great.
01:31:30.000So I mean, as that technology improves, and then I have other friends that swear by, you know, they've done some of the, you know, where they spin the white blood cells and inject that back, like, you know, some of the stuff that they won't even, you know, they won't let you do it in America, not because the technology is there or because it's ineffective, but because, you know, Big Pharma has a much more expensive and a much more permanent way to lock in an annuity for themselves than actually fixing it, right?
01:31:58.000There's no money in the cure, there's money in maintenance in keeping you in there.
01:32:02.000So, yeah, peptides work, mitral barrier, or just testosterone.
01:32:09.000Yeah, okay, so when I hit 40, I was like, man, I felt sluggish.
01:32:12.000It was like, you know, after I think the 18 cycle or whatever it was in midterms, I was on the road so much, I just felt sluggish and I was like, I tried to, I couldn't do it.
01:32:21.000I guess, I felt like I'd come down so much, but I still had like an 840, 860, whatever it was, testosterone level.
01:32:28.000But I'd felt like I'd come down so much, they're like, well, we can try you in like a quarter dose of what it was.
01:32:33.000And like, literally, Kim was like, you got to get off that stuff.
01:32:35.000Like, you're literally, I could not talk to people.
01:32:38.000I wanted to just like fight everything.
01:32:44.000Perhaps I gotta, you know, figure out how to regulate that one well.
01:32:48.000I guess luckily for me, I still produce enough sort of natural that I, you know, I know other guys my age.
01:32:54.000Some of them big jack dudes that were like 120, 200, like really, really low levels.
01:33:00.000And, you know, as we're figuring out that and, you know, the balance of that.
01:33:02.000But I tried a very minor dose of that for like two months and literally it was like... Like...
01:33:10.000I felt great, basically, if I wasn't around anyone.
01:33:14.000If I was around people, I just wanted to constantly kill people.
01:33:17.000It was not, you know... Metaphorically speaking, I know that, you know, this Biden DOJ will lock me up for the crime of having thought about jokingly killing someone, so I don't want to say that too carefully, and it's gonna be like... The hell was that movie?
01:33:31.000Like, The Adjustment Bureau, or... You know, where they start throwing you in jail for the crimes that you thought about possibly committing?
01:35:15.000Like, I'm very gut-fat right now, but I'm also probably quite strong other than the knee issue.
01:35:21.000But like I said, I was probably squatting 300 a week ago before my knee.
01:35:26.000So, you know, for a 46-year-old dude, that's whatever, like...
01:35:29.000You know felt pretty solid You know, I don't know what you know, my bench is max and stuff is because of the shoulder I try to take a little bit more easy There but like I feel relatively strong for my age deadlifting over four but Yeah, it's I probably got to stop even thinking about maxing because it doesn't really do all that much for me Let's see Do I have the same testosterones as Michelle?
