- 1:50not enough to take a guy out of office
- 1:52the Republicans are never gonna vote for
- 1:53this like you guys are you know you're
- 1:56making a big mistake here
- 1:57now think imagine a guy who's the vice
- 2:02president of the United States who is
- 2:05also a guy who used to be the CEO of
- 2:09Halliburton then this guy decides to go
- 2:13to war
- 2:13under false pretenses they make up some
- 2:16[ __ ] about weapons of mass destruction
- 2:18they blow this [ __ ] place to
- 2:20smithereens and then Halliburton gets
- 2:23no-bid contracts I mean this wasn't
- 2:25someone saying I can do it for three
- 2:27billion I can do it for 2.7 it wasn't
- 2:29any of that
- 2:30there was a no-bid contract for billions
- 2:32of dollars to repair the places they
- 2:35blow up and he was making money off of
- 2:38it it's crazy I think for the first year
- 2:42or something like that I want to know
- 2:44when Dick Cheney was actually making
- 2:46money off a Halliburton I think he had
- 2:48abandoned his position or give up his
- 2:50stocks or something but it was a while
- 2:52it was it was it was one of those things
- 2:54where you like me you just left you just
- 2:57left and then the company you just left
- 3:00is now getting no bid contracts in the
- 3:02billions am i stupid right

- 3:07television in front of everybody in the
- 3:09movie oh and you know in movie also
- 3:11shows how much of the president's ear he
- 3:15really had because the president the

- 3:20him to run with him to get the you know
- 3:24the real like Republican votes at the
- 3:26time for sure yeah for sure no one else

- 4:28big doofus like you know would get out
- 4:31and do his own thing and they'd have to
- 4:33control Rumsfeld you want to hear
- 4:34another conspiracy theory yeah you
- 4:36probably don't know it's gonna blow your
- 4:37minds do it
- 4:38the day before 9/11 the day before the
- 4:41attacks
- 4:41Rumsfeld gave a press conference where
- 4:45we talked about trillions of dollars
- 4:46missing the day then a plane slams into
- 4:52the very part of the building where they
- 4:54were doing the accounting blows up half
- 4:59the [ __ ] building of the Pentagon
- 5:00blows up a wall Donald Rumsfeld was on
- 5:04what was it the White House lawn listen
- 5:07to this this is a like this like ten
- 5:08minutes but it's at the Pentagon this is
- 5:10on c-span yeah and look it up right now
- 5:11just we've got to get to the quote where
- 5:14he says mentions 2.3 trillion dollars in
- 5:17missing receipts talks about his
- 5:18adversary but see if you could just find
- 5:23that whoa see the just there's I know
- 5:26there's YouTube videos you're what are
- 5:28you looking at these clips on here on
- 5:31c-span okay if you just google it on
- 5:34don't even do that just go through
- 5:35YouTube I know you have to see it
- 5:42because you hear him say it you're like
- 5:44wait what the [ __ ] did he just say yeah
- 5:55yeah I think that's it
- 5:57let's see already spends according to
- 6:01some estimates we cannot track 2.3
- 6:03trillion dollars in transactions two
- 6:06point three okay now again somebody told
- 6:12you that literally like right before
- 6:159/11 happened they said they they
- 6:18couldn't track two point three trillion
- 6:21dollars you go no that didn't happen
- 6:25that did not happen but it did happen
- 6:29what the [ __ ] yeah so think about what
- 6:31Kennedy said yeah think about what you
- 6:35saw when you saw that Vice movie where
- 6:38Dick Cheney
- 6:39was CEO of Halliburton becomes a vice
- 6:42president and gets billions of dollars
- 6:44in no-bid contracts now think about we
- 6:47just saw with Donald Rumsfeld saying
- 6:49they couldn't find 2.3 trillion dollars
- 6:54I what I don't know I don't know it
- 6:56seems like we should have had it so okay
- 6:58we'll keep looking
- 6:59oh no the spot where we look just blew
- 7:02up oh my god what find out that's true
- 7:07if the it was the accounting office
- 7:09because this is what I loved I love to
- 7:12say it because it sounds good but let's
- 7:13make sure it's true that that part blew
- 7:15up but either way that he did say that
- 7:18and then they did get hit by a plane a
- 7:21couple of days later it's unbelievable
- 7:24you know we talked about that trillion
- 7:26dollars trillion 2.3 trillion to
- 7:29trillions bigger than most countries
- 7:31right that you build a whole nother
- 7:32country so that's 2.3 million million
- 7:36ooh isn't it no thousand trillion is a
- 7:40billion right no a thousand billion how
- 7:43about no yeah that well yeah a thousand
- 7:48million is a billion is a thousand
- 7:50billion a trillion yeah a thousand
- 7:52billion is a trillion and it's 900 every
- 7:59billion trillion is that really what it
- 8:02is it's 999 billion times - it was a
- 8:07billion trillion a couple more billions
- 8:10no it's we're so stupid it's a hundred
- 8:14thousand and then a million and then 10
- 8:18of those is a billion right yeah or a
- 8:23hundred of those a hundred millions of
- 8:26billion it's a hundred so it's a hot
- 8:28each one is a hundred oh [ __ ] yeah
- 8:31trillions a whole nother three zeroes
- 8:34another three zeroes yeah that's so much
- 8:39how would you say that would you say
- 8:41that's uh look how big it looks written
- 8:43out so it's a million so that's a
- 8:47billion that's a trillion it's the word
- 8:49billion is referred exclusively to as a
- 8:51million millions a million million okay
- 8:53but how many is a trillion a billion
- 8:57millions trillions a million millions oh
- 9:01well what's a billion a thousand
- 9:05millions okay that makes sense a million
- 9:07Millions
- 9:07so it's 2.3 million Millions no that
- 9:12seems like a lot to be missing and then
- 9:14BOOM plane hits the Pentagon everybody
- 9:17stops talking about it what was the last
- 9:19time you heard about that 2.3 trillion
- 9:20never that didn't come up all the times
- 9:24we were talking about flight 93 let's
- 9:25roll remember that let's roll that's
- 9:27what they said right before they went up
- 9:28to kick her ass and that's why that
- 9:30plane hit the ground it didn't kill all
- 9:32the fine people that it was going
- 9:34towards the White House or whatever it's
- 9:36[ __ ] out of here in British terms
- 9:37British English which is not American
- 9:39English the word billion referred
- 9:41exclusively to a million millions
- 9:43however is no longer common and the word
- 9:46is now used to mean 1,000 million so if
- 9:48anybody is in another country and it's
- 9:50confused that's why it seems like if
- 9:53that would have got that make sense it
- 9:54was a million makes sense million
- 9:56million doesn't make sense it seems like
- 9:58if that would have gotten out that that
- 10:01that money was missing that the whole
- 10:03country could have revolted like I mean
- 10:06that's what what did you do with our tax
- 10:08money that's not money right but that's
- 10:10a way to steal 2.3 trillion if you're if
- 10:13you get if you stole 2.3 trillion you
- 10:15want to cover it up start a war right I
- 10:17mean boom immediately everybody's

- 11:19last four years we have a Miss spent at
- 11:22all
- 11:23that's what Kennedy was talking about
- 11:24literally not saying that anyone you
- 11:28know I'm absolutely not saying 9/11 was
- 11:30an inside job I don't think it was but I
- 11:33am saying that when things happen and
- 11:35disasters take place people capitalize
- 11:38on those disasters and if it's possible
- 11:42that someone was going to set something
- 11:46up some sort of an attack and they're
- 11:49gonna do it because they were in the
- 11:52process of stealing something or was
- 11:54gonna steal something you would have to
- 11:55be a lot Billy wait a minute what are
- 11:57they gonna do how much money would it be
- 12:00worth it to start a war that might be
- 12:02the number two point three trillion that
- 12:05might be the number like you feel like
- 12:07what's how much would it cost to start a
- 12:09war if you're evil anyway
