00:00:00Did you guys hear about the stop Nick Shirley act in California?
00:00:03Dude, this is crazy.
00:00:06So there was, um, cause he's trying to do the same thing he did
00:00:08in Minnesota and California, right?
00:00:10He needs to do that in Puerto Rico, dude.
00:00:12Seriously, I mean, if you could list the places that California has this act now,
00:00:17who's this is it, this is the bill right here.
00:00:20They basically put, put together this legislation that says it's
00:00:24called the stop Nick Shirley act.
00:00:26It's like a draft.
00:00:27Existing law prohibits a person, business, or association from
00:00:29knowingly publicly posting a publicly disclosing or distributing on internet
00:00:32websites or on social media, the personal information or image of any designated
00:00:36healthcare services, patient, provider, or assistant or other individuals residing
00:00:40at the same home address with the intent to incite a third person to cause
00:00:45imminent great bodily harm to the person identified in the posting or display or
00:00:49to a co-resident of that person as specified or to threaten the person
00:00:53identified in the posting or display or a co-resident of that person as specified.
00:00:57So it's basically an extreme fascist bill that they're trying to pass to
00:01:02prevent people from exposing fraud.
00:01:05So you think that they're getting out ahead of having exposed in California,
00:01:11what was exposed in Minnesota and by making it essentially this kind of
00:01:15investigational legal.
00:01:16Yeah.
00:01:16And that's of interest to me, given all the financial stuff I've
00:01:23exposed down in Puerto Rico, but the, if you strap like that and map it onto
00:01:30freedom of speech as a whole, uh, this is a big problem.
00:01:33I mean, I, I don't know.
00:01:34This shit is fucking gnarly dude, having to read this thing, like the, here we go.
00:01:38This guy.
00:01:39Yeah.
00:01:39He explains it a little bit better here.
00:01:42It warns that it would restrict the release of investigative videos and impose
00:01:45penalties on watchdogs who expose fraud.
00:01:47Uh, it's a, I mean, I don't really believe in the two party system.
00:01:50I think they're all just too, everybody's full of shit, but it is a Democrat that
00:01:55put this out.
00:01:56And of course there's the, you know, the backlash from this guy is probably a
00:01:59Republican.
00:01:59So it sounds like what they're saying is when he exposed the Somali learning
00:02:03centers, that then creates sort of hostile potential violence against the Somali
00:02:08people.
00:02:09So in order to protect threats of violence against immigrants, uh, here's this act.
00:02:14Right, right, right.
00:02:15Which is totally like a load of bullshit because the real way you would protect
00:02:19from somebody being harassed like that is to stop the fraud in the first place from
00:02:24happening.
00:02:24Yeah.
00:02:26Or just separately prevent like violence in the way that we prevent assault.
00:02:29Yeah, yeah.
00:02:29Or, I mean, I'm just saying that, yeah, there's a number of other ways to handle
00:02:34it, but yeah, it's crazy, right?
00:02:35Yeah.
00:02:36I, um, I was looking at this the other day.
00:02:38I'm, I'm kind of interested in how it plays out, you know.
00:02:42You're, you're, you do a lot of investigative journalism, right?
00:02:45You were down in, uh, Palisades almost immediately after the fire exposing a ton
00:02:49of stuff around FEMA.
00:02:50Uh, you've done the Puerto Rico thing.
00:02:53What are the like big ones have you done recently?
00:02:55Um, well, after going to Puerto Rico, like I kind of, uh, was, I shelved the, the deep
00:03:03dive investigations because it's so much work to look through all the, just
00:03:08everything, dude.
00:03:08It was also really, it was fucked up, man.
00:03:10Like people in Puerto Rico don't have, we, we met a guy who doesn't have a fucking
00:03:15roof still, he hasn't had electricity for eight years.
00:03:18It's crazy, dude.
00:03:19I, you got to watch it.
00:03:21I don't know if I ever sent it to you.
00:03:22You didn't send me this one.
00:03:23Yeah.
00:03:23It's um, it's insane.
00:03:26I, I, in theory, I mean, I can give you the, the layout real fast.
00:03:31Basically in 2016, Congress with Obama's approval signed off on a financial board
00:03:36that more or less acts like the shadow government of Puerto Rico now, and they've
00:03:40funneled around $2 billion of taxpayer money, Puerto Rican taxpayer money off the
00:03:47island to wall street consultants, executives, uh, attorneys to consult on
00:03:54the bankruptcy down there because the whole island is bankrupt.
00:03:56And part of that process is to resolve the prep of bankruptcy, which is the
00:04:01Puerto Rican electric power authority.
00:04:03It's the government power company.
00:04:05And then it was privatized with this company, Luma and yada, yada, yada.
00:04:09The power is horribly unreliable down there.
00:04:12It's one of the most expensive in the entire country.
00:04:14And, uh, they're basically having money funneled off the island.
00:04:20Like, and they're all more or less connected to wall street, but it's crazy.
00:04:23And the reason I bring that up in relation to this is because, um, you
00:04:28know, the Somali and daycare thing.
00:04:29Sure.
00:04:30There's, there's some, some stuff going on there, but Puerto Rico has been
00:04:33basically getting shit on forever.
00:04:36And I think this is possibly an even worse situation that's going on down there.
00:04:39And they just revoked some transparency act down there too recently in
00:04:43the past like four or five months.
00:04:45They're going to try and get out ahead of people that are
00:04:46doing investigative journalism.
00:04:47I mean, that's what it seems like to me.
00:04:49They don't want, they want it to be more difficult for people to, to
00:04:52FOIA request stuff, essentially.
00:04:54Like one of the things they revoked on the transparency act down there in Puerto
00:04:57Rico was when you, when you request information, it doesn't show who you are
00:05:03specifically, right, to, to the, to the people that you're requesting it from.
00:05:07But they they're changing that so that they can see.
00:05:09So there'll be like, Oh, Gary Faust, the guy that's been talking a bunch of shit
00:05:13about us is requesting this information.
00:05:15We're going to, you know, deny that.
00:05:17It's crazy.
00:05:18But this is similar to that.
00:05:19And I think this is actually a branded as the transparency act.
00:05:22Cause who can, who can say it was an existing legislation that was good.
00:05:27Yeah.
00:05:27Yeah, yeah.
00:05:28They're yeah.
00:05:29Um, but yeah, this is, this is crazy.
00:05:32I don't even know what else to say about it.
00:05:33Cause not much has transpired, but in my field of work, I mean, that would, that
00:05:39would basically prevent me from doing my job.
00:05:41Before we continue.
00:05:44Most people in their thirties are still training hard.
00:05:46Their protein is dialed in.
00:05:47They sleep better than they did in their twenties.
00:05:49Discipline is not the issue, but recovery feels somewhat different.
00:05:54Strength gains take a little longer.
00:05:56The margin for error starts to shrink.
00:05:58And that is why I'm such a huge fan of timeline.
00:06:01You see, mitochondria are the energy producers inside of your muscle cells.
00:06:05As they weaken with age, your ability to generate power and recover effectively
00:06:09changes, even if your habits stay strong.
00:06:12Mitopure from timeline contains the only clinically validated form of
00:06:16erythelin-a used in human trials.
00:06:18It promotes mitophagy, which is your body's natural process for clearing out
00:06:22damaged mitochondria and renewing healthy ones in studies, this supported
00:06:27mitochondrial function and muscle strength in older adults.
00:06:29It's not about pushing harder.
00:06:30It's about actually supporting the cellular machinery underneath your training.
00:06:34If you care about staying strong into your thirties, forties and fifties
00:06:38and beyond, this is foundational.
