Topics Discussed
The Mental State of President Biden (13:13)

"It's a great way to get over on the rich people think. Rich people always get over. It's not true. Rich people get beat all the time by other rich people because they all agree that there are certain kinds of bullshit that they tolerate. And one of them is like, they buy this c**p art that is like this modern art that, you know, one was a blank canvas once that sold for 200 grand. Like all this stuff that." - Speaker B

"Boeing's a national security company. It's an american defense contractor. You're working for Boeing. You're working for the government. You come out and whistleblow. How do the f**king FBI like that? They'll get rid of you too, if you start in whistleblowing." - Speaker B
