Trump's Secret Military Meeting, AI Medbed Scam & Portland War Zone

Show Notes
Transcript

President Trump attends a mysterious gathering of hundreds of generals at Quantico that's definitely not suspicious at all. The White House insists it's just about "esprit de corps" and touring weapons, which is exactly what you say when everything is completely normal. Then Trump briefly promotes AI-generated "medbeds" - alien healing technology that turned out to be expensive heating pads from a New Age convention. Plus, Portland gets designated as "war ravaged," which comes as news to Portland residents who thought their biggest threat was choosing between kombucha flavors.

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.279
Callaroga shark media from Washington, DC, where nobody is planning

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.640
a military takeover. This is ballot that's right. We get

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.120
all the generals together in a room all the time.

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.440
Nothing to see here, Let's hit this. President Trump announced

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.480
he'll be attending what can only be described as the

6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.280
world's most expensive military book club meeting this Tuesday at Quantico.

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.439
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called together hundreds of generals

8
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.520
and admirals on short notice, and nobody seems to know

9
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.520
exactly why. Trump described it to NBC as really just

10
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.479
a very nice meeting talking about how well we're doing militarily,

11
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.640
which sounds suspiciously like when your boss calls an emergency

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.320
all hands meeting to tell everyone how great the company

13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.039
is doing right before announcing layoffs. The President went on

14
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.840
to explain that the gathering is all about esprit de coors,

15
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.359
and he actually asked the reporter if they knew what

16
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.439
that meant. Nothing quite builds military morale like having to

17
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.480
explain French phrases to journalists during a phone interview. Now.

18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.640
The Washington Post reports that this sudden assembly of military

19
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.200
brass from around the world comes at a time when

20
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.319
the Trump administration has been taking an axe to senior

21
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.760
military ranks, So you've got to wonder is this a

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.799
PEP rally or a performance review? Are they discussing warrior

23
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.959
spirit or wondering who's getting the warrior boot? Vice President

24
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.719
Vance tried to downplay the whole thing, saying it's not

25
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.000
unusual at all and calling the media coverage odd, which

26
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.640
is exactly what someone would say if they were planning

27
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.000
something completely usual and normal. Right, Why are you guys

28
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.400
making such a big deal about our totally routine, mysterious

29
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.799
military gathering. Trump himself suggested the generals would be touring

30
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.200
equipment sites and talking about the newest weapons. So either

31
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.480
this is a legitimate strategic meeting or someone's about to

32
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.640
get a very expensive show and tell presentation. Secret Service

33
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.719
is now handling security for the event, which adds another

34
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.840
layer of complexity to what was supposed to be a

35
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.879
simple military meet and greet. At this point, they might

36
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.479
as well sell tickets and call it a defense expo.

37
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.680
All we know for certain is that hundreds of top

38
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.439
military officials are being summoned to one location with no explanation.

39
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.120
The president is attending, and everyone involved insists there's absolutely

40
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.840
nothing unusual about any of this, which is exactly how

41
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.039
normal things always happen. In Washington, President Trump briefly shared

42
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.800
what appears to be an AI generated video of himself

43
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.639
promoting something called medbeds, which sounds like what you'd get

44
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.199
if a conspiracy theorist opened a furniture store. The fake video,

45
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.039
designed to look like a Fox News segment hosted by

46
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.319
his daughter in law, Lara Trump, featured an artificial version

47
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.680
of the President promising that every American will soon receive

48
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.560
their own medbed card, which is either the most ambitious

49
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.759
healthcare plan in history or the most elaborate infomercial ever created.

50
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.680
In the video, fake Trump tow to these supposed miracle

51
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.199
healing beds, saying they'd provide guaranteed access to our new

52
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.360
hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped

53
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.759
with the most advanced technology in the world, so essentially

54
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.840
universal healthcare, but with alien technology and a really good mattress. Now,

55
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.800
for those unfamiliar with medbed conspiracy theories, they're basically the

56
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.199
intersection of UFO believers and people who think the government

57
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.039
is hiding miracle cures. The theory goes that we've reverse

58
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.840
engineered alien technology to create healing beds, but the government

59
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.560
only gives them to elite insiders, which explains why politicians

60
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.840
always look so refreshed after those long congressional hearings. This

61
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.879
particular conspiracy theory has been popular in QAnon circles, where

62
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.840
supporters have long believed Trump would eventually release this secret

63
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:53.080
alien healing technology to the public, and honestly, if you're

64
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.000
going to promise universal health care, we got it from

65
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.159
space aliens is certainly one way to explain the funding.

66
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.599
The real world version of these medbeds appears to be

67
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.800
overpriced heating pads sold at New Age conventions, often marketed

68
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.759
as magnetic and infrared healing devices. So we've gone from

69
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.879
alien technology that can cure anything to a blanket that

70
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:19.000
gets warm and costs three hundred dollars. Trump deleted the

71
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.399
video after posting it, which raises the question did he

72
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.879
realize it was fake or did someone tell him the

73
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:34.920
medbed rollout wasn't scheduled until next quarter. President Trump has

74
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.920
authorized the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Oregon, with

75
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.879
permission to use full force if needed to protect ice

76
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.839
facilities from protesters, which means Portland is about to have

77
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.800
more federal agents than coffee shops, and that's saying something.

78
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.920
Trump described the city as war ravaged in a truth

79
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:57.160
social post targeting what he calls attacks by Antifa and

80
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.680
other domestic terrorists. Now call Portland war ravaged is like

81
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.040
calling a yoga class combat training. Technically, there might be

82
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:10.360
some stretching involved, but nobody's really in danger. Oregon Governor

83
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.800
Tina Kotek pushed back, saying there is no national security

84
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.519
threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm, which

85
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.279
is probably the most defensive anyone's ever had to be

86
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.519
about Portland being too peaceful. No, really, we're totally fine.

87
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.439
Our biggest problem is deciding between seventeen different kombucha flavors.

88
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.839
The Pentagon confirmed they're ready to mobilize military personnel at

89
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:37.000
the President's direction, though they haven't specified what full force

90
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.600
actually mean in Portland terms. That could range from actual

91
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.120
military action to aggressively enforcing proper recycling protocols. Trump also

92
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.560
signed an order formally designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization,

93
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.959
though legal experts point out there's no actual legal mechanism

94
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.439
to do this in the United States. So essentially, he's

95
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.639
declared war on a group that may not technically exist

96
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.480
in any official capacity. The Department of Homeland Security claims

97
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.319
that Rose City Antifa, because of course, Portland's ANTIFA chapter

98
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.759
has the most precious name possible, has been dosing ice

99
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.360
officers and sending death threats, though in Portland a death

100
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.560
threat might just be telling someone their beard isn't locally sourced,

101
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.680
and Rose City Antifa just sounds like the name of

102
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.399
a soccer club. Portions of today's show were made possible

103
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.160
by an elected clown, an AI
