nemy. You know I get how you're mad. I get it. I get it. But don't destroy the climate because you're mad at one individual for one reason that has nothing to do with Tesla. So the fact that Greta Thunberg is quiet and all the other grifters seem to be quiet, that tells you a lot. I saw a clip of Jimmy Dore, you know I guess podcast comedian Jimmy Dore. He says he's now doubting climate science b…

think he heard it from good sources. But that is so awful.

He also said that there have been pizzas that have been ordered in somebody's name that seem somehow associated with a swatting. Well the pizzas that were ordered in his name were from the same location that his coworker at InfoWars was murdered recently. So and it's not even the closest pizza place to him. So somebody intentionally picked the location that was where his coworker got murdered recently. And that's clearly sending a message.

So what Owen says is that he's begging people to keep it in the news and make as much noise as possible. Don't forget it. Because if the public doesn't push it the Soros DAs can just ignore it. But if there's enough public pressure then maybe something can get done.

On the good news the administration's taking it very seriously. So Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, he just said recently that swatting attacks are a dangerous form of political violence. He says I've been in touch with law enforcement to ensure that they have access to the traceback resources that locate a call's originating point. And bad actors will face accountability.

Now I have a technical question. Maybe some of you know the answer. Does the government have the ability to trace back the source in every case no matter what technology is being used by the swatters? If it's a burner phone can they at least find out where it was transmitting from? I mean that won't tell you necessarily the identity of the person but it might. It might be the burner phone was in an apartment. Yeah you don't know if they're smart enough to take the burner phone to someplace public to use it. So I'd love to know if the bad actors have found a way to avoid this traceback. My guess is that you can trace a burner phone but not the identity of the owner. So we'll see.

But we also have strong statements by Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Kristi Noem that they're taking this very seriously and they're going to catch these people and they're going to take them to justice. So we'll see.

Well over in Egypt, probably most of you saw this story. There's a claim that scientists using this powerful ground penetrating radar have discovered that beneath the pyramids in Egypt, or at least one in particular, there are structures that are maybe twice the height of the tallest building on earth under the Khafre pyramid in the Giza complex. Now I think they're assuming that maybe other pyramids have structures too. But they allegedly have figured out that there's this enormous complicated structure and that the pyramid would just be the top of it. And if you were to dig down two gigantic buildings worth you would see this big stru

cture in there. So how many of you believe that's true? I want to see in the comments how many of you think that's true. I'm going to remind you of one of my more famous and effective BS filters. Now this is what I call the Scott Alexander filter. So it's not named after me. It's named after a guy named Scott Alexander, which also was not his real name by the way. It was a pseudonym. And he once…
