Chapter 2: What happened during the assassination attempt on Putin?
Putin obviously lies. All presidents lie. Putin lies a lot. But in this case, he's turning over the material itself for us to examine. Assuming, I mean, sure, I guess it could have been tampered with. But yes, he's saying, then you could examine whether it's been tampered with. And you can just look at the, like here, here's a drone. We say it's crashed in the forest here. Yeah.
Here's our chain of custody. I guess you can always just disbelieve everything. But at some point, if you do launch 91 drones, it's going to leave some evidence behind. Right. We also have the pre-existing evidence that the president at first seemed to believe Putin. Right.
And just one quick point on my end, Bivens points out, he says, in summary, in recent days, both Zelensky and Putin have again referenced an attack on Putin's home and family carried out by U.S.-supported Ukrainian drones.
This is the same attack that Trump initially believed in but then scoffed at after the CIA formally told him it never happened, but it clearly did happen, which suggests, Bivens says, that the CIA is giving false briefings to the president. So that then becomes germane when you're thinking about Iran, Cubaā
Venezuela and all of these other places, China, Taiwan, around the world where we're in hot conflicts or potential hot conflicts about if John Ratcliffe and his CIA is under ODNI, outgoing ODNI, Tulsi Gabbard, where we know there are conflicts seemingly between ODNI and China. CIA, what information is getting to the president? That's extremely important.
And obviously right now we should mention Ukraine is saying that missiles hit a military plant really far inside of Russia. So all the way, like 560 miles from the front line, according to BBC. Yeah, I guess Tulsi Gabbard, ODNI, maybe she can come on the show now that she's retired. She can talk about this assassination attempt. I don't know if people have
quite understand the fire that we're playing with here. Yeah. I'm going to send a comment request actually on this right now. Excellent. All right. Get them to report back. Let's do it.

Chapter 3: How did Trump respond to claims about the assassination attempt?
And even if we have insurance. They fight our claims every step of the way. And so we ran on the message of a more affordable California and that this office should be the champion of consumers and not a lapdog for billionaire corporations. And this message resonated across the state of California.
We ran on a platform talking about new ideas, at least to the U.S., a single payer home disaster home program guaranteed for all that is publicly run and nonprofit. We talked about expanding our already existing low-cost nonprofit auto insurance program and Medicare for Kids. And as you can see from our results, we're plus eight in the top two.
We didn't just win in San Francisco, which is my backyard, which we're plus 18. We also won in Los Angeles County, where my main opponent resides. And we're in first place in Republican and rural counties across the state of California, which just showed that Californians are tired of the status quo. And they want to see someone who's going to champion a more affordable California.
I think you made such an important point that you're required to have insurance to operate and to complete basic functions in the state of California and, of course, in other states. So can you tell us a little bit more about what you would be able to accomplish in this role? What's possible? What gives you hope that you could actually do should you be elected?
Yeah, so this is an executive office that regulates this industry. And by the way, there's zero federal oversight of insurance, which is also really interesting. So it's regulated by the 50 states. And it has this outside say on who gets to build wealth in this country, right? I mean, you can't drive to work without auto insurance.
You can't own a home or open a business, as I mentioned earlier, right? And as was mentioned earlier, it sits at this very interesting intersection of this, what everyone is feeling, the wealth inequality, climate disaster, and fairness. And ultimately what people want is they want a fair and level playing ground. And this is what this office can do.
It regulates industry, sets the ground rules for how property and casualty industry plays in the state of California, the most populous state in the country. And so there's a couple of things that I have talked about. One, one of the biggest fights is around claims. And we're seeing this whether you live in the And so, one, I want to freeze your rates when you file a claim.
You shouldn't be penalized for using the business that you've been paying into, often for decades. Second, I want them to pay you interest every day they deny, delay, or underpay a valid claim. That is actually a big part of their business strategy. Their main business is not really insurance. It's They're banks. They take our premiums and they invest it in the bond markets.
By the way, they're huge institutional investors in fossil fuel, which is driving climate disaster. And then they cancel coverage on the homes destroyed by it. So they try to keep their money in their float for as long as possible. So I also want to create a financial disincentive from doing that by having them pay you interest. The other is that we want to really cap their profits.
