1. The Assassination of Brian Thompson: A Healthcare Industry Meltdown

Incident Details

The episode opens with the tragic news of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, being shot dead outside a Hilton hotel in Manhattan. Recorded at [03:24], Zabrowski reveals:

"When the news first hit that there was a shooter, this guy got shot, Brian Thompson. We decided to hold off and wait... now we know who the person is because we were all certain... he's a kid by the name of Luigi Mangione, 26 years young." ([04:53])

Motivations Behind the Murder

Zabrowski and Larson dissect the motives driving Mangione to commit such a heinous act. They posit that deep-seated frustrations with the healthcare system, exemplified by denied insurance claims and exorbitant medical costs, may have pushed Mangione to his breaking point. Zabrowski shares a personal anecdote:

"Nothing. That's what I loved was how many times just this year I had to reapply to get my important medic. My medication that I'm crazy enough to get." ([06:11])

The Shooter’s Profile and Manifesto

Luigi Mangione emerges as a complex figure. Described as having "G.I. Joe looks" and "the most important boy of 2024," Mangione's actions are analyzed in the context of his manifesto, which criticizes the healthcare industry's practices. Zabrowski comments on Mangione's flawed approach:

"Ted Kaczynski was wrong, is that he had a lot of ideas, but he did not want to do anything to really fix them besides kill people and maim things." ([10:04])

Public and Media Reaction

The hosts express frustration over the lackluster media coverage and public response to the assassination, emphasizing how CEOs like Thompson are often treated as expendable:

"They're used to. They live in a separate world... this shit comes for everybody." ([08:03])

Quotes Highlight

• "He is the most important boy of 2024." – Henry Zabrowski ([05:12])
• "These bookies, these are everywhere." – Henry Zabrowski ([02:25])
• "People are extremely angry... because this one single issue, it unites every single one of us." – Henry Zabrowski ([08:21])

2. Mysterious Drone Sightings: Government Experiments or Alien Intrusion?

Recent Drone Activity

Shifting gears around [22:34], Zabrowski and Larson explore a series of unexplained drone sightings across the United States, particularly concentrated in New Jersey. These drones exhibit unusual shapes and behaviors, sparking widespread conspiracy theories. Zabrowski shares a listener-submitted account:

"I saw a red light reflecting off the buildings... It was like a red blood cell complete with plasma membrane." ([45:55])

Possible Explanations

The hosts debate various explanations for these enigmatic drones:

• Government Testing: Suggesting that these could be advanced military drones being tested.
• Alien Technology: Entertaining the possibility that these are extraterrestrial in origin.
• Private Sector Innovations: Considering that private companies might be developing hyper-secretive drone technologies.

Zabrowski presents a theory linking drone technology to modern warfare tactics:

"My theory is that this is companies testing new ways to mass deploy offensive AI powered drones, suicide drones." ([43:13])

Listener Theories and Viral Footage

The discussion is enriched with listener-contributed footage and theories, highlighting the public's curiosity and unease:

"But why are all these drones different things? Why do they look like different... Why are they doing different stuff?" – Henry Zabrowski ([51:03])

Government and Media Response

Despite the alarming activity, official responses remain muted, with authorities attributing the drones to harmless causes. The hosts criticize this lack of transparency:

"You're supposed to sit here and act like it's not happening." – Henry Zabrowski ([57:12])

Quotes Highlight

• "These drones are super small mini planes with wrong lights." – Henry Zabrowski ([35:23])
• "The media wants to distract us from all the terrible stuff happening in the world." – Henry Zabrowski ([38:55])
• "It is insane because why would they not pay out if it's already so fucking expensive?" – Henry Zabrowski ([12:35])

3. Additional News: Haiti Gang Massacre and Global Instability

Haitian Gang Violence

Towards the episode's conclusion, Zabrowski and Larson touch upon a devastating gang massacre in Haiti, where over 180 elderly residents were brutally killed under the guise of voodoo curses. This segment highlights the ongoing chaos in regions plagued by gang dominance:

"He went to a slum and killed 180 residents over 60 years old." – Ed Larson ([61:01])

Global Conflicts and Media Neglect

The hosts lament the media's inadequate coverage of significant global events, such as conflicts in Syria, South Korea's martial law declaration, and broader geopolitical tensions, emphasizing a trend of media distraction from critical issues.

As the episode wraps up, Zabrowski and Larson reflect on the interconnectedness of these tragedies, urging listeners to stay informed and vigilant. They hint at upcoming stories, including more on drone phenomena and other international crises, ensuring that the conversation remains ongoing and deeply engaged with pressing global concerns.

[Ed Larson]

That's pretty great. Yeah. So Dad's Garage, that's going to be on January 12th at 7pm in Atlanta. So come check us out there. So while more show. More shows are coming.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. And while we were having a fantastic time, a CEO of United Healthcare, a person by the name of Brian Thompson was shot dead outside of a Hilton in Manhattan. We now know like whole country went to flame. And when the story first broke and I'm proud of it, he kind of.

[Ed Larson]

Looks like the bad guy from Incredibles all growing up like the kid.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh yeah, he does. He does kind of. So we. When the news first hit that there was a shooter, this guy got shot. Brian Thompson. We. I think it was Tuesday. We recorded side stories Wednesday of last week. We decided to hold off and wait. We talked, talked a little bit about on Dan Soder's podcast. We kind of hemmed on all a little bit, but it was right before.

[Ed Larson]

The whole story still developing. I almost didn't believe that it happened at this point still.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, because then we recorded last podcast last week and that was when the deny depose delay that was turns out that the shooter had on the bullet casings carved in. This would seem to be sort of like a manifesto. And that was when they found the bag of Monopoly money also supposedly left by the shooter. They had the smiling picture of him flirting with the person at store Starbucks or I think he was at the hostel he was flirting with which is us again. Just let the penises take a fucking break, Luigi. And so he's excited, I know. No, of course, of course. But we went through a whole like. And so we waited and I think it's good that we waited because now we know who the person is because we were all certain. Everybody I was talking to in New York City, everybody that was around me were all like, he's a professional assassin.

[Ed Larson]

He seemed like it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And he is going to work his way, John Wick style through the healthcare industry. And then it just doesn't happen. He's a kid, a kid by the name of Luigi Mangione, 26 years young. He was found in a McDonald's in Aluna, Pennsylvania. And my God, does he have a body that just won't quit?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, no, he definitely looks like a G.I. joe.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Luigi Mangione. He is the most important boy of 2024.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He has done to crazy. And those brows want to kiss each other and I'm not. I can roast him because he's a murderer. Yes, I can roast him because I looking at him it's like now that Brian Thompson looked any better. And I can roast him too.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, Brian Thompson is super fucking ugly. Yeah, this guy's beautiful.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Now seems that the entire country flipped the ever living fuck out because it seems that. Eddie, tell me if I'm wrong. A lot of people are angry with the health care.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, you know, I haven't heard. I haven't heard about this.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Isn't that weird? Because I was first I was like, why would you be mad at the healthcare industry?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. All they do is take care of you and make you feel better.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Nothing. That's what I loved was how many times just this year I had to reapply to get my important medic. My medication that I'm crazy enough to get.

[Ed Larson]

Oh yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And how long it took to get. And then how many times I've had to pay for something out of pocket just for the sake of not wanting to deal with it. And that's also just draining me, you know, I mean, it's just draining you.

[Ed Larson]

It really takes a lot out of you. I remember when my mom had her, her a blood sugar machine taken from her because she didn't have $800. And then you know, because it would go off when she would, you know, whenever her blood sugar would drop.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Did she think of just dying to sort of like do that? Just kind of stop the. Because my thing is the. I feel like the healthcare people got to get so sick of hearing from everybody. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, well, the thing is she did.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, I hope for her. Wow.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Because she, her sugar dropped when she was asleep and her blood sugar monitor didn't go off because she didn't have it anymore and she didn't wake up. Yeah, it was.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So you're saying.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That America killed your mother.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, you know, the thing is, and then, you know, you go and you think about this stuff and then, you know, my father, you know, a couple years later he finds himself in a little trouble. He gets covered.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, he had me at bad covet.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, and then he died and Then we got a nice. I think we got a thirty thousand dollar bill for his death.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, God. Honestly, I'm kind of angry that it wasn't more.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, well, it was 2 million and they took care of a lot of it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, wow.

[Ed Larson]

Oh.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Why aren't you thanking them?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, you're right. I should just thank him.

[Henry Zabrowski]

We should have been at Brian Thompson.

[Ed Larson]

It was cheaper for him to die than it was for him to keep going.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Now there's a lot of people that are angry and it's.

[Ed Larson]

Because. Why? Why are people angry? I'm always. This is. This is the circle of life. People should just be fine with this.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Of course. No, it's. It's just choices that your father made to get Covid.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And to begin to go to the hospital. He choose. Chose to go to the hospital. He could have died at home.

[Ed Larson]

He could have easily. It would have been. Free to die at home.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Free. He could have died for free at home, Eddie. Yeah, actually, no, because you would have had to have someone come and pick up his corpse.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And take it to. And you'd have to pay that guy.

[Ed Larson]

Probably. That's not covered.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, no, definitely not. No, no. None of that would be covered. People are angry because people like Brian Thompson made a lot of money and they look at us humans walking around as a bunch of numbered, coin filled pigs.

[Ed Larson]

There. You could say that he helped contribute to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. And Luigi Mangione, who is not. Let's see, he's not perfect.

[Ed Larson]

No, I don't agree with murderer. I do not agree with vigilante justice. He's a murderer, for the record.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And so.

[Ed Larson]

And you know, you wonder, you know, maybe he was pushed to a limit.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know, Eddie. Because it seems that it's shocking to both the media and the various other CEOs who went immediately in hiding that Brian Thompson would be shot because they didn't think that they would ever be treated like one of the numbered pigs that they look at with no feeling from giant glass towers as we all walk around. Because guess what? This shit comes for everybody. It comes for everybody as soon as you. Even if you have money. Because we talked about this. Why did Luigi Mangione do this? We has a manifesto. I read the manifesto.

[Ed Larson]

How was it?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Hilarious.

[Ed Larson]

I know he's a Ted Kaczynski fan.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, I'm kind of sad because we didn't get a shout out. I mean, so he is.

[Ed Larson]

You'll be on one eventually.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Come on. Come on, guys.

[Ed Larson]

Please.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Come on, guys. But he, yes, he is a Ted Kaczynski fan. He said that felt like. Which it was very chilling. His final words and his Goodreads review he did of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto under his review of Industrial Society and its Future. He. I think it's really interesting. He says that, uh, oil barons haven't listened to any environmentalists, but they feared Ted Kaczynski. I think it's interesting that he went out there, he said. I do think he said that Kaczynski was a violent individual, rightfully in prison because he maimed innocent people.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And in the idea of moving his manifesto along, he did attack innocent people. People that were not a part of the system. And actually, in many ways, that's why Ted Kaczynski was wrong, is that he had a lot of ideas, but he did not want to do anything to really fix them besides kill people and maim things. And that's not actually. It isn't actually helpful. But what.

[Ed Larson]

Luigi had the good grace to live in the woods.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean, especially apparently what his balls smell like. He said he just smelled like rotting milk 24 7. But, hey, what are you gonna do? Luigi Mangioni is not a hero, but he is a reaction. And I think that we are seeing why people are. People are extremely angry. And according to his manifesto, his mom was also put through the entire health care mill. And he was put through the health care meal. He got a horrible back surgery. He's living his life in constant pain. He's never come back from it. No one. There's no help. There's nobody to look out for. So he did reach a breaking point. And it's. I'm just actually surprised this is the first time.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And it'd be different if the company mourned Brian Thompson's death. They moved on. They did the meeting that hour. They did not care about his own death.

[Ed Larson]

They didn't even wait at all.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They put up a fucking LinkedIn notice for his job 48 hours later, as if some other fucking stupid felt vested Brooks Brothers shirted motherfucker could have just stepped in place. He's literally just.

[Ed Larson]

Someone did step in his place. So what's that guy feeling right now?

[Henry Zabrowski]

He's wearing a bulletproof vest. That's for fucking certain. Because these guys are. Because UnitedHealthcare is responsible. They said apparently they have the highest rate of not giving insurance money. It's like 30% of claims they've denied.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, they're united on not giving money.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And that's the only thing they're supposed to do. And we do. Right? Right before. And I talked to you about the manifesto. I said, his mom was run through the mill by healthcare. He was run through the mill by healthcare. And then you said, he's rich, but he's rich. But guess what? It doesn't matter. Because they will come for every single penny that you have because you are vulnerable. You are sick. And they got the fucking medicine pipes and they have the control over it and they hold it over you. And they got your head in a fucking bucket. And they don't care. They don't care whether you live or die.

[Ed Larson]

Thousands of dollars into GoFundMe campaigns because insurance companies will not cover people's cancer treatments.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They won't do it.

[Ed Larson]

Not cover. And it's. It's fucking insane. Or they don't have insurance because they can't afford it in the first place.

[Henry Zabrowski]

One of the new CEOs.

[Ed Larson]

It's so crazy because, like, why would they not pay out if it's already so fucking expensive?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I pay top dollar for health insurance.

[Ed Larson]

I pay and I still get fucked. Me too.

[Henry Zabrowski]

All the time. I get.

[Ed Larson]

All the time. I get fucked.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. So you wonder why it happened. Everyone's so confused. Why would this happen? All the media pretending. The media that has been fucking lying to us. And I'll put this away, too. We were coming in like I was talking about with this Marcus this afternoon. I think it's really interesting is that everyone was obsessed with this story for five days. He got caught. It's gone. It's like they are. They've stopped talking about it. Same thing with the fucking. What's going on in Syria with the drones. No one's talking about the fucking drones. Which we're gonna talk about soon. We shouldn't be the news. This shouldn't. Side story. Shouldn't be where we're talking about this shit. It shouldn't be here.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, he did kill someone in the street. That is kind of our territory.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Exactly. And that's why I'm thankful. And for that I'm thankful.

[Ed Larson]

All I know is someone was shot in Williamsburg three nights later and they never found him or give a fuck. Where's that person's manhunt? They threw so much money at this manhunt.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Everything across the nation, we watched it. We watched it in front of our eyes in New York City as we were sitting there. They had a phalanx everywhere. There was like, stop points. There were all this. And you're just like, didn't they just kill three people for like, for skipping fare in subway. They just killed, like, people. So, you know, there's a world for them and there's a world for us. And weirdly, we're in your world too, guys. I thought we could be good enough at entertainment to go to the better world. All right? We can't get there. All right? So it's fucked for everybody. If it's fucked for us, it's fuck for everybody. All right? So these guys. And you know, I. Then I wonder, why did he get caught? He wanted to get caught.

[Ed Larson]

He definitely wanted to get caught.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But I, I have a little theory about.

[Ed Larson]

But he was hiding. It was a very. His interest. It's like he didn't know if he wanted to get caught or not. But now I'm putting thoughts in his head. Sure.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, my. I will put this this way. I'm gonna. I keep saying that he's. He has fuck boy vibes.

[Ed Larson]

Right?

[Henry Zabrowski]

He's a young guy.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Good looking guy.

[Ed Larson]

Valedictorian.

[Henry Zabrowski]

A lot of people were. But he's a good looking guy from.

[Ed Larson]

Every school, not many.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He's obviously deeply plugged into social media. He's a young person. I think that he saw his own attention that he was receiving and I think he really liked it. And I think that it was obviously he wanted the attention. He wanted to do something like, and have people read his manifesto and move on. Like. But it's. I do think that that's where the faulty reasoning came in, is that he probably should have been long, long, long, long gone. But instead they found him in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Like, nothing that far. Nope. So they. And then I think a lot of people are giving shit to the person that ratted him out, the person that saw his picture. Because number one, I love everybody and I loved all the funny little memes about him, but the memes helped him get caught. They absolutely helped him get. Copied his picture everywhere. Right. And then to which. So it served a function. And then two people are now attacking. I believe it was a McDonald's employee that called them in, but that even though that money they were given, I think was a $10,000 reward.

[Ed Larson]

It was. It was up to 60, but I.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Don'T think they got this.

[Ed Larson]

They're not getting any of it because they didn't call Crime Stoppers. They called the wrong line. So they're not getting any of the money.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They get none of it.

[Ed Larson]

They get none of it because I was just talking to Cena about it upstairs.

[Henry Zabrowski]

What they do is they Lowball us. They lowball us. Right. Because they. That person that called in desperately needed that money.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That is the only reason why they would get involved. Who would call the police voluntarily and bring them to their job? Nobody. Nobody would really do. Unless it was like an. Somebody that kind of. I'm not saying real criminal. He is a real criminal.

[Ed Larson]

How do you feel about the person who turned him in? I mean, personally, I know.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't feel bad for them. I know that they.

[Ed Larson]

They need money.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They needed.

[Ed Larson]

They work fucking McDonald's.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They needed the money.

[Ed Larson]

They needed the money that people have turned their fucking brother in for 60 grand.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. So they got. They. And what's hard is to say to somebody like that even that kind of money is not gonna fix everything.

[Ed Larson]

No, 60 grand really isn't that much.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's. Fuck.

[Ed Larson]

I couldn't believe the number was that low. I thought for sure that was like a hundred thousand dollar reward at the bare minimum. That's how they don't give a fuck.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Little they think of us.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's how little they think of.

[Ed Larson]

This is like the guy who's top. You figure the guy at the top gets killed, there'd be a big reward.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, nothing. I mean, his own people didn't care. His wife had to put out a statement. When I. Brian Thompson's wife, they put out a statement saying he's a loving father. A lot of people come forward saying he's a nice guy. I know a lot of people separated.

[Ed Larson]

Right.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Apparently, Goebbels was hilarious. Yeah, like, you know, it's.

[Ed Larson]

So was Bill Cosby.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, like, it's hard, like. And I don't think he's in that level. I'm just saying that, like. Yes, it's just he took the money and the goal for him to make his money.

[Ed Larson]

When Goebbels is as funny as Bill Cosby. Is that what you're trying to say to me right now?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't. Definitely not. Bill Cosby is by far. Okay, let's just say this outright. I'm saying this on the show. Bill Cosby's definitely funnier than Goebbels. It's not a question. Did Goebbels have even one special?

[Ed Larson]

No. No, he didn't.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I guess David hasn't either. So he's had a.

[Ed Larson]

Plenty of specials.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I thought he said no specials.

[Ed Larson]

He's had plenty.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I thought he only had a half an hour. He never had a full hour.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, he's done lots. He's done crowd work specials. He had a Couple on Comedy Central.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well then I take it back. David tells nothing like herbal.

[Ed Larson]

Also I produced bumping mics.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But that's like him and Jeff.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, but you know, it's comedy special. I'm just saying that the person next to you produce.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Sorry I brought it up. I'm sorry I brought it up. It's nothing like gurbles. I take it I str. I scratch it from the record. He's nowhere near. He's no and gerbils nowhere near as funny as David.

[Ed Larson]

Okay, thank you. Thank you.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes, I besmirch the good name of.

[Ed Larson]

[Henry Zabrowski]

But that's why it's like, I think a lot of people, obviously we have advertisers and there's going to be a lot of people saying like. And I don't think that murder is the solution.

[Ed Larson]

Never the solution. But at some point I've never Seen anyone get murdered. And the world be so happy it happened because again, since, like, bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And you know why? And the reason why is because of the way they look at us. That's why. It's because just for one time, that CEO got treated like some other nameless person in the street that, like, they're used to. They live in a separate world.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They get the best health care in the world, and they're fucking million. They get everything. They get everything.

[Ed Larson]

Dude got over $10 million before bonuses.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And in one year. And how he. How did he get that money? By cutting as much as he possibly could. And when he cuts, it's not like. This isn't Frito Lay. You know what I mean? This isn't like. Oh, you know, Which I do mad about the fact that they definitely putting less chips in the bags. Oh, yes, we know this.

[Ed Larson]

We know that.

[Henry Zabrowski]

We know this.

[Ed Larson]

Shrinkflation.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Don't even get me started.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, that's. You want to hear me really go, right? But, you know, it's not that. All right. It's. It's every time they cut, people die. So that's why there's a. That's. That's why it's very charged. So, I mean, who. I. This guy's gonna get the book thrown in him. We're gonna find out a lot more about jail.

[Ed Larson]

Life's gonna be like, do you think he's gonna be a hero or.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think that eventually he'll just care, right? Nah, I don't know.

[Ed Larson]

He's gonna be in a federal prison.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. Yeah. I think that he'll. It depends. He's a young guy or touch state.

[Ed Larson]

It was. It was a murder in New York.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. He'll go to federal prison.

[Ed Larson]

Why he should be in Rikers, I don't know.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I actually don't know. They might have to protect him for a while. Who knows? But again, I think that he's. He's also throwaway. Like, fuck, Luigi. Fuck. Like, that's not even about it. It's about the. It's about the moment in time. And everyone's so. Everyone's wondering why this. Like, why everybody's so angry and why they feel so justified. And it's just because this one single issue, it unites every single one of us.

[Ed Larson]

Every person in America knows somebody who got very sick and couldn't afford their health care. Whether they helped him or they didn't. They know somebody, or they had someone in their family or it was a parent or a.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Or a Child and guess when they. You. When you're your most vulnerable. Yeah, they know it and they smell it in the water like sharks. They know that you. That you're.

[Ed Larson]

That you have to pay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You have to pay.

[Ed Larson]

Honestly, I can't say on record enough that I don't condone this behavior.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No.

[Ed Larson]

But I'm certainly not. I'm certainly very surprised it hasn't happened before.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, we'll see what happens. You know, I mean, we had one child. This is the second child assassin. Well, the first one wasn't an assassin because Trump never got shot. That is. I'm just saying that straight now. I'm not even going to fuck around with that anymore. Trump was never shot.

[Ed Larson]

It doesn't seem like it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No. So that was. We made a big deal over that guy. And now we're also going to see the media very much so try to shatter any sort of belief in the. In Luigi Mangion, because unfortunately, the Internet requires you to have some form of moral purity, even if you're an assassin. So they're going to come after his, like, you know, he'll probably have said the R word on a video somewhere, and then everyone's not gonna get canceled.

[Ed Larson]

Now, is he gonna get canceled?

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's literally all they're gonna do. But they're already, like, setting it all up because they're so.

[Ed Larson]

I love you. To murder someone and then like, well, we're gonna. Might have to cancel this guy.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's just unfortunately, that's how the Internet works, because they are not really grasping how fucking serious everything is. They're just not. They will yet. They cannot understand that we're joking ourselves to death. And this is from a comedian.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So it's hard. We have to figure out what's serious, what's not serious, what's. What's funny about it. I think the funniest thing about Luigi Mangione is the fact that he could get his fucking eyebrows sculpted and probably should have the second because that was the only anybody recognized for him was his Groucho Marx fucking eyebrows.

[Ed Larson]

He definitely should have went to. Got some threading done. He was already in New York. There's eyebrows he didn't try hard enough. Everywhere.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, I don't think he tried enough to disappear.

[Ed Larson]

Well, I think also the eyebrows, you know, some people. Some people really dig it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. Oh, they do. They do. I'm not going to say again. That is the one thing on a sale I cannot say against him. He is. He is attracted.

[Ed Larson]

Now, one rumor I've been Hearing a lot of a conspiracy theory I've been hearing a lot is that it's not him.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, it's him.

[Ed Larson]

That because they released different pictures of guys in different jackets.

[Henry Zabrowski]

What?

[Ed Larson]

I'm pretty sure they just had the wrong guy in one of those pictures.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's possible. I might. You want another big old conspiracy theory, Zabrowski, is that they don't really want to talk about the way that they caught him. Because if. If we really understood how far they could see us from space, we would not feel good.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think that if they. If we knew that if there was.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, he was good for days.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think that they just didn't. I don't think, like. How do you put this? I think there's a kind of a period of time where like, maybe he's going to turn himself in. You're talking to all these forensics experts. It seems to be a political hit. He might turn himself in. If we tell him we have all this information on him, he might show up. I think that it makes everybody look like they. They're feeling a part of the investigation, which I think helps the media and the police. I think that they maybe cooperated his location with a in person sighting. But I do think that they don't want to broadcast the fact that they kind of maybe knew where he was really quickly because maybe they can see us from space. And they are. And that the surveillance technology is so good, the talents that they literally have to pretend that it's not very good.

[Ed Larson]

So they let him get away with it for three days?

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, they just followed them. Well, they had to make sure it was him. Yeah, but I think that they had it. They had a much more detailed idea.

[Ed Larson]

They were just picking up random dudes in the street that looked just like him and taking their pants off and slapping their asses and putting their fingers in their butts.

[Henry Zabrowski]

What levels are we? So there's the beat cop, the guys you're gonna go send out to do all that. Right.

[Ed Larson]

I saw some cops when I was walking around New York. I was like, you guys find them yet? They're like, literally threw their hands up like they could give a fuck.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, of course.

[Ed Larson]

Stop. What the fuck?

[Henry Zabrowski]

They literally are. You're a beat cop in New York. You got a lot going on and just another dead guy. All right? Where it's like. Then you got the higher level, you got the homicide section, which is kind of doing a little broad. And then you have the FBI. And once the FBI gets involved, and then they got Some kind of private contracting thing or like somebody else they talk to, they call up somebody from the military. You've never, you don't know. You don't know what they have access like access to.

[Ed Larson]

Do you think he did like everything he could to not get caught or do you think you wanted to get caught?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think my, my.

[Ed Larson]

I mean that's definitely a place you go where you don't want to be found.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, absolutely. My full out of the ass opinion we're putting.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, we're just throwing our thoughts into his brain.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It doesn't matter. My is I think that he saw the thirst and he saw the attention and he lingered. I think that he saw how much everybody wanted to fuck him. Yeah. And there's just so hard. It's as a 26 year old.

[Ed Larson]

But he's got a bad back. He can't be fucking with that back. You're right. I take it back.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, I think that he. I, that's. I put my human, my. The human layer I'll put in is that I think that he legitimately saw how popular he was and he wanted the credit.

[Ed Larson]

It's not far. No, he really didn't get that far. He's only like four hours away.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's why I also just kind of wonder if. Yeah if they, if there's something, something happened in there. And then he. So he had his ghost gun with him. He had 3D printed a gun.

[Ed Larson]

I mean that's a good thing that's going to happen about this. They're gonna definitely crack down on ghost guns now.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I mean well how difficult it is to get. They're gonna crack. They're never gonna.

[Ed Larson]

Pretty much legal.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They're literally never gonna crack down on the gun anywhere ever. They will never crack down on anything.

[Ed Larson]

It wasn't until 2022 that they started like making the kits where you had to like fucking fill out. What is it called A. How do you edit when you buy a gun?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, when you like register. When you, when you get your like gun license.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You. Before you could just buy one but now, now you have to actually like apply for one.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. But still you can get all of the 3D printed gun parts online are extremely easy to get. We've seen it's now been several crimes, high profile crimes that have used ghost guns. We know that you can also put them together using other pieces, using pieces from non 3D printed guns. But he kept the gun, which my mind says he was planning to do something else.

[Ed Larson]

Should have just melted It.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know why he kept the gun, but I think. I do think that there's a. An issue here where he's a young man that saw the attention and he was excited about it and he didn't know what to do. He's not a professional assassin. Him. He's just a young man that wanted to.

[Ed Larson]

Seems like it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, he was. He thought about it for a long time. Yeah, he thought. He thought about it for a long time and he probably tried. He practiced, probably with the gun a couple times.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, but definitely a sociopath.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He's it. I think that you'd put him in the side stories. LP O T L gmail.com. are you a sociopath? If you can feel those emotions? I don't know if you can't. I think that sociopaths wouldn't feel the excitement of.

[Ed Larson]

I think I hate Brian Thompson as much as Luigi.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I will say I don't know Brian Thompson, so I will not say I hate that man. Right. I think that that man thought that as everyone does, they're the hero. Everyone's a hero of their own story. So in his own mind, he's got his wife and his kids and they go to fucking some private school and everybody's got all. He's taking care of all of his bullshit. And he's a good guy and he gives. Maybe he'll give Planned Parenthood every year or maybe he goes and he. He'll buy like a wreath from a poor person every once in a while. And he says, you see, honey, I did good. You see what I did? Like, I'm certain that he's not, you know, running over dogs and beating the help and stuff. I'm certain that if you met his maid, she'd be like, he don't kill me.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, like. But I think that if you, Brian Thompson just, you know, he was a part of an industry, he might as well have been in the weapons industry.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, exactly.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And then I think that you just don't know what you're asking for with that because when you're CEO, it all falls on you.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. You're the face.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You're the face.

[Ed Larson]

And it was a big face.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Big head.

[Ed Larson]

Huge head.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. And it's really, dude, I think a.

[Ed Larson]

Fucking 40 pound head.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But yeah, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna malign the man. I'm not gonna malign the man because I don't know the man, but I do know that I don't know, but.

[Ed Larson]

I fucking hate his ass because of his face and his job. I think anyone who's the CEO of a company like that can go fucking hell.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, you're definitely making money on the pain of millions of human beings.

[Ed Larson]

I don't think he deserved to die, but, you know, but maybe, you know, take his pants down and spank him.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I have.

[Ed Larson]

In front of a bunch of people.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I have been saying this for so long. I still feel like we could public spankings if we could bring out all the CEOs and politicians. If we could make them dress up like jesters and make them do it like once a month where they all have to embarrass themselves and wallow around.

[Ed Larson]

A bunch of tiny little dickies and just get slapped around a little bit.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'll tell you, people, United States of America will stop murdering you guys if you just let us do that once a month.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And we can all show up and everyone can pay a dollar. I could pay a dollar and I could go throw a water balloon filled with good food into the face of a senator.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. You know, oh my God.

[Henry Zabrowski]

God, how I would get so much out of that. But you know, this is. Now we'll see. I feel like again, I don't know, I don't think anybody also really understands how bad the revolution will be for everybody in between. I think there's a lot of people online that are always like, oh my God, leftist revolution. And it's like. But I don't think you understand that, like after the first wave of the revolution, like that's when the mass executions happen. That's when all the kind of bad stuff happens. So I don't know if people are going to want a full on big one, but it's just important for us all to remember the fight is not between us. It's between us and them. And they're going to do everything they can to make us fight each other. They're going to call us racist. They're going to call us stupid. They're going to call. They're going to do everything that they can to make sure that we're all fighting each other and not all fighting them.

[Ed Larson]

Exactly.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yep. And maybe a good example of that is what the fuck is going on with these drones?

[Ed Larson]

Oh, good segue.

[Henry Zabrowski]

All right, so let's go look at this real quick. Now. We were.

[Ed Larson]

What do you mean real quick? This is the biggest alien news since I've been alive live. And you're. And you're just going to blow right past it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, you know, it's funny because Now I'm almost. I'm almost at the it's past aliens point.

[Ed Larson]

Okay, so you don't think it's aliens.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know what the it is.

[Ed Larson]

Drones the size of Buicks.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know what.

[Ed Larson]

That's not something. Although it does sound like something a Jersey dude would make in his. In his closet.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, yeah, look at that right there. It's gold. The Santa Maria. Nice. Right there. We're gonna go up there. We're gonna.

[Ed Larson]

Got a Godfather horn on it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Y. This is. But I have a couple of interesting takes here. I asked the audience last week when we were doing our episodes, those of you that care, what the fuck is going on with these drones? Because New Jersey now, if you're looking at footage right now, we're looking from NBC4, the drone footage from New Jersey. I cannot state enough how many emails I've received with personal footage of the drones. I'm talking 25. At least. Videos from New Jersey.

[Ed Larson]

Just videos on their own phone.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes. Staten Island. I've got emails from. I've got emails from Ohio. I had emails from North Carolina, South Carolina, all showing the same literal, same exact different styles of drones. Because the thing that is most curious about what's going on, for those of you don't know, there has been these wave of drone sightings seen over New Jersey, over the US Airfield in UK Lankin He. And all over the Eastern seaboard, and apparently some off the west coast as well. But I didn't see photos of those. The thing about these drones is that, yes, some of them do just look like drones. Droney drone esque.

[Ed Larson]

Mm.

[Henry Zabrowski]

The promise is that they're all different types. We've got orbs, circles, boomerangs. We've got things that look like mini planes, but the lights are wrong.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And the size is wrong. So they're super small mini planes. They.

[Ed Larson]

But I thought they have the right lights as far as, like, left and right.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, they do, but then they'll have a bunch of weird middle lights and then a bunch of different colored lights that they don't normally use. Things with blue lights, a lot of things. Similarly, just red lights. It's very, very strange. And it. While all of this is going on in New York, Right. We're. We're running around. The city is insane. The city's on fire. Right. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Well, it's Christmas season.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's also Christmas, so it's packed and there's. It's just. It was very intense week, honestly. It was. It was cool. But it was a very, very heavy week. Yeah. And everybody is just sort of not caring. Right. So then you like they have a bunch of people, the government keeps saying, don't worry about these drones. They're not doing anything. They're not doing anything. They're just up there.

[Ed Larson]

But, but I mean, I agree with that. Almost.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Sure. Yes. But the footage I'm looking at and I'm talking each one, helicopters are following them. F16s are being scrolled. Is it.

[Ed Larson]

That's what, that's what NAP always says. There's black helicopters. Whenever you see that, he says those black helicopters might be UFOs.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So this. So again, this is how far it's going. This is another like this senator, a guy, a New Jersey senator, John Bram, Nick again, a Republican. Republicans are the only time Republicans jump in anything that I care about, which is the. He has been saying that the public receipt must receive an explanation regarding these multiple sightings. The governor, Phil Murphy, went as far as to say that the drone sightings are under investigation. They all keep saying they don't know what it is. And if you look at the footage, they are physical.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And I got some great opinions from the crowd. I want to get some great opinions from the show. So I want to go through some of these great little letters I got in response to why now?

[Ed Larson]

Also, thank you, everyone who wrote in. So many people wrote in. Keep them coming. Please send in the footage as you. As you get it.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, we fucking are horny for it. Yeah. The drone story is way more than the news is sharing. Last year a large amount of drones were over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. A massive drones literally flew into the base, flew around and then straight up vanished. The base tried to keep it hushed up and went as far as telling families and military housing to not discuss the issue. What was also hidden was the fact that the government acronym groups were brought into the base for an extended period of time. Since then, Langley has kept their lips sealed as far as any discussion with those below a certain rank. Lank and Heath has been insane with discussion too. The base has a confessionals page on Facebook where everyone posts anonymously. One post was up about the drones in July and since then they've attempted to also quell the topic. OSI watches that page so they are privy to the immense nonsense and OPSEC violation shared. They have weighed in on occasion and people posting the group have been questioned by OSI agents on several topics. I don't really recommend the group as a qualifying source beyond gossip because it Is one of those things a lot of stuff going on there as there is a bizarre amount of panty sniffing confessions. You know, you never know right. Here we go. This is another one is OSI operation of special investigations. What's it the office of special Investigations. Henry recently asked on side stories attack of the drones why the activity is happening now. My two senses is that this stuff happens more often than we think. But places tinfoil head on head. The media wants to distract us from all the terrible stuff happening in the world right now. World War Three, Israel, Palestine, Turks with Syria and South Korea, Russia and the like. None of it was on the news. Do we had South Korea also declare martial law? Martial law for like six hours.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And all this with Syria. None of it was on the news. Guess what they're all Syria was all over the news but guess what? It was covered with all of the dumb shit that whatever fucking fat boy was saying.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

New president was saying. And so fat boy was just talking and all they do is run every single fucking syllable that he says because they couldn't possibly give a fucking shit anyone. Yeah well guess what go out of this should sell this is very interesting.

[Ed Larson]

I think so. But I don't think many people care man.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, I guess not. By the way I spoke to my friend's father in law drunk at his wedding. He revealed to me he was. He's a retired aerospace engineer who worked on some top secret projects for the United States military. He cannot go into detail about the stuff he did but he did say it had to do with weapons. I asked him what he thinks about all the UAP events going on. I found his answer very compelling. He said he believes that whatever the famous tic Tac videos were were human made and they are essentially. Essentially hyper secret weapons. Aircraft that were basically unveiled to these pilots in particular to see how they would react in the moment. Like a test. Not only to see how they would approach the aircraft and if they kept their cool in the air, but to see what happens when they land. Will they follow protocol and keep it a secret or would they be able to handle seeing something they had no answer for? These would be need to know answers not only for our men but how adversaries would react as well. Once these encounters incur the clock starts ticking. How long can the government keep secret Again? Probably a good thing for them to know. We'll find out. I am now of the mind that some of this stuff is man made technology.

[Ed Larson]

It has to be.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It has to be. Some is too much but it makes sense for that Tic Tac video. Like I still believe that. I will still believe the Tic Tac video is a UFO until I see other like information. Right.

[Ed Larson]

I'm. There's no reason not to believe in. It's not a ufo. Why would you think it wasn't a ufo?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know. That's what they, technically that's what they want me to think. Right. That it is a ufo.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So I wonder, Right. I said I wonder. But that hyper secret technology was displayed out in the middle of the ocean, Right. Like when that, when the USS and when Indianapolis saw that they were dead in the middle of the Pacific on a training run like they were no near civilization. So there's a lot of people that I've, I have heard and I've. I understand why you think that, that this could be secret technology that we're testing. But why the fuck would we be testing it in such a public aspect? We've never done this before. We've never done it like this across the eastern seaboard and then act like it's nothing. It's like. No, with Roswell they gave us an excuse. Right. With other things they tell you what it is.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Like they just said when we showed the pictures of what we shot over Alaska in Canada.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

The other week.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, that.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, they said they kind of, they acted like they didn't, like at first they didn't know what it was, but they still don't know what it is. Yeah, you don't know what it was. And they shot it down anyway. And it looked like something they couldn't recognize, but they shot it down. So why aren't they shooting this stuff down?

[Ed Larson]

Well, it's overpopulated areas.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But why then it's so. I just don't understand double sure to shoot it down then definitely shoot it down.

[Ed Larson]

Well, because then you'll be, it'll fall on the people. You can't shoot it down.

[Henry Zabrowski]

What if it's going to be dropping bombs on the people?

[Ed Larson]

Well then you're. The bombs are still in the plane.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But you got to shoot the planes. You still got to shoot the planes.

[Ed Larson]

Then it crashes and the bomb blows up.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know. I'm just saying. I just don't really fully understand why they would test it out loud in front of that many human beings. It just doesn't seem to work like that. But this is a.

[Ed Larson]

Could be private.

[Henry Zabrowski]

We don't know. This is. I, this last little opinion I think is fascinating. I'm an electrical engineer who was in college when drones were really taking off as a thing 10 years ago. So I've had a fascination with them ever since. My theory is that this is companies testing new ways to mass deploy offensive AI powered drones, suicide drones. My rationale, the Russia Ukrainian war is leapfrogged. Offensive drone technology and anti drone defenses. Ukraine has begun using swarm of suicide drones to swarm target targets. These drones cost 400 to 10, 400 to $10,000 a piece if you bought them off Amazon. And they are destroying tanks that cost a million plus dollars. So it's an amazing trade off.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But most commercial drones have a maximum range of 5 miles before any additional equipment is added. This makes it so these drone swarms are useless against Russian artillery which is usually fired 15 miles from its target. Artillery is the main thing Ukraine has had difficulty fighting against since you need to either hit it with your own artillery or with airstrikes. Ukraine is needed to ration its artillery shells firing 2,000 a day compared to Russia firing 10,000 a day. And airstrikes can easily be countered if you know where they will target. So you either need to get the drones to start closer to the artillery or have longer flight range. The two easiest way to do this we to fly the drones closer to the target. Drones usually need to take off like a helicopter or to be thrown like a toy plane so they could test, they could be test dropping them from planes to get them to take off because you don't want to either have drone collisions destroy half the swarm on launch. But again this is happening in front of our cities. So I don't know if it works like that. But I like this concept of that's where maybe the private money is. It's like can you show the US military we can sneak up on you? Can you show these, the police and the FBI that the drones can just out of nowhere.

[Ed Larson]

I mean well, the drone. There's a very good chance, I feel like that the drones are ours. That they are the military showing everyone else what we got.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But then. So Alex or coffee guy. Let's just say he's paranoid, right?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Love my beloved Spring Hill Jack. Coffee. There's a fucking reason why those beans are so fucking delicious.

[Ed Larson]

Reptilian in the morning.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He is awake, my man is. His eyelids are peeled. You don't see like he sees. Yeah, we have been talking for days.

[Ed Larson]

I think there's staple guns at the back of his head.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Whatever makes those beans good. I told him you do whatever it takes. So you know Last week I was talking about, oh, it's aliens. People don't want to notice. I just think this is. I think that there's something's going on.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And we don't quite know what it is. I'm going to go ahead. Which is what I always say, because I am a clinical full on. I, I am utterly agnostic. So I believe it's all things. I believe that there's very possibly to have there's alien technology that looks like us. There's us that we've made stuff that look like alien technology and technology that we have figured out our own stuff that we want people to think is UFOs, blah, blah, blah. Right. All this shit. Yeah, but this is a. So we were coming back from Philly and he sent me this little story From Reddit from 13 years ago and it's fascinating.

[Ed Larson]

Okay, let's hear it for me.

[Henry Zabrowski]

For the rest of you, suck my fucking balls. It was April 2, 2007, around 9:30pm I was coming out of Orlando, Florida on the 408 west at about exit 12. I saw a red light reflecting off the buildings and thought it was funny because of how high up it was and thought maybe it was some emergency lights. I saw between the two buildings, this red pulsating light that was enveloped in what looked to be a plasma like shield. My best way of describing it would be a red blood cell complete with plasma membrane. I had a funny thought pop in my head. So that's what you are. When it turned to its left and came up very quickly upon me in my minivan which I was driving alone. It proceeded to come about 20 to 30ft in front of me and slightly above the van windshield. It pulsated to deep red. And when the inner sphere would light up, the plasma outer clearer sphere would catch the light. The inner sphere reminded me of a front loader washing machine. It was not a solid glowing red sphere, but instead it appeared to be a red light liquid was washing around. There was an inner yellow light liquid with some white in the very center. It was very bright inside. And this white light peeking through caused the red color to really light up, making it appear as if you were further away that it was simp. Simply pulsating a red light. And as I'm watching this, I'm realizing the plasma around it is dematerializing the center red pulsating ball of light started to spin from right to left and stretch. And it grew wings. Plane wings. It looked a lot like a drone plane, complete with a silvery Finish and what looked like a cockpit. However, there was no tail end to speak of. The outer sphere was now completely gone and it was facing me. As I was driving at a constant speed of 75 mph. I had cruise control. On each wing tip there was a light, one yellow and the other white, blinking on and off, back and forth. At the underbelly was the same red ball of liquid light, still blinking, but it seemed wobbly. The best way to describe it would be if you held a baton in the middle and made figure eights with your wrist. It would be that motion which we were looking. I'm literally looking at some of these drone footage. I remember looking back at one point to see if other cars were around me because I noticed the cars all in front of me had pretty much well taken off my rear view mirror. I saw cars were also far behind me. I was alone. Not moments later, after looking, a police cruiser with lights flashing but no siren came from my left and almost sideswipe my van come between myself and the craft. This drone plane look alike. The craft was directly above the hood of the police cruiser. The craft responded to this by veering off to the right. I watched as it grew, for a better lack of term, a spotlight. And that, I believe was behind the red light. And as it had flown up this to this brick building, it shined the light on a window on it. I tried to watch as it flew away and I kind of wanted to come back, but I lost sight of it. I'm just saying when I saw that. Now that's 13 years ago. Yeah, I'm looking at this mystery drone in Somerset, New Jersey, that has the same fucking thing that that guy just described. Yes, that is fascinating to me because what if we're really fucked? We don't know jack dick about what's going on.

[Ed Larson]

I think it just makes it seem like to me that it is the government, sure it is us, because why else would they be keeping it secret? Because I don't think that if everyone knew it was aliens, I don't think it would be the big, you know, big to do like everyone thinks it is. See, because they've told us there's aliens multiple times since COVID started and no one gives a fuck.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm back and forth only just because I. It's so hard to pin it down. I'm looking at. I'm looking at this phenomena. They, they want it to be. It's happening in plain sight. They spent so long ridiculing anybody that believes in this storyline yeah. Now they're leaning in. I trust them less now that they say that there's aliens. You know what I mean? Like, I don't.

[Ed Larson]

I don't feel like they're hiding their own shit.

[Henry Zabrowski]

True. But I don't need the government meant to tell me it's okay for me to believe. Right. I don't need that shit. I tell myself that it's okay for me to be high and believe. Right. But the thing that's weird is why are all the drones different? This is in Denver. When that drone thing happened a couple years ago, all the drones were exactly the same. Why are all these drones different things? Why do they look like different. Why are they different sizes? Why are they doing different stuff? Why, like, I don't know what purpose it serves to dangle this in front of us. I don't know. I guess that's my. Who benefits?

[Ed Larson]

There's no one that benefits.

[Henry Zabrowski]

There has to be. If it's done on purpose, if it's an action by a government they believe.

[Ed Larson]

It'S to show other governments not to fuck with us.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But why? They don't need to. We don't need to show them. Don't fuck with us. We could fucking blow up the world.

[Ed Larson]

That's true. We are powerful. Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

America does it. They. Guess what, Eddie, they shouldn't be fucking with us.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

We could very much fuck all of them up.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Not to mention our positioning.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Dude, we're so far from them.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They have no idea. That's why. That's why we shut the balloon down. That's why we shut the other thing down over Alaska is to show them that we can.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. So why we're not shooting these down.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Why?

[Ed Larson]

We have to know that they exist.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yes, they do. We're seeing it all over the place points.

[Ed Larson]

Where's. What's Buddha Judge say about this?

[Henry Zabrowski]

He said something about this new line of like he's doing. It's called come popery.

[Ed Larson]

Oh.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Spread it into construction sites.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, but he's the Secretary of Transportation.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't. This.

[Ed Larson]

This should be his department, right? This should be his people.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I'm going to write him email right now. Like, all right, Pete, Buddha Judge. I'm going to put it right here. Pete, Buddha Judge. How do you even spell his. This is why he can't be president. How do you spell his name? Name? He can't. This is not going to work. Manifesto, Pete Buttigieg Manifesto.

[Ed Larson]

What's that? It's B U T T, I G.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I, E, G. You really Put the ass in. Buddha judge. Buddha judge. UFOs.

[Ed Larson]

Nothing, right? He doesn't give a. I don't think.

[Henry Zabrowski]

He doesn't look like one. He looks like. I got mad. It's got that big head. No, he's been silent. Silent. Silence is deafening.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Deafening. It's kind of funny how the people we love most are often the hardest to shop for. People say that, but I think I'm easy. But people say it's hard to. You know. What do you get for the guy who has every single graphic tee on the face of the planet? I don't know. I don't even know any anymore. But something like this could really work.

There's a lot of people that want to put spiritual importance too on the story. But this idea that these. This is just the beginning. That we're going to be seeing a lot more UFO sightings. I saw one conspiracy theory saying that God's an alien. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Or we're aliens and they're coming. Take us back. It's like a nuclear crisis. The idea that maybe the drones are going like one conspiracy theory.

[Ed Larson]

I like this one.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It was that. This again. No, real.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, this is a conspiracy theory that we're just talking. That's my.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's my job. And so the idea that they are moving nukes around to our allies. So ostensibly, if we back out of NATO over the next four years and then they can. Then they'd have. We'd have to figure out how to get our nukes back if he wanted to use them. Blah, blah, blah.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Or like. And. Or there's something going on.

[Ed Larson]

The aliens are coming because we're moving the nukes and they have an Eye on. On our nukes. And there are scared of nukes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Or it's just.

[Ed Larson]

Because if we just start shooting nukes into space, they'd be fucked.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think that it's just more neutral. I think it's way more like they are whatever it is that makes this sort of reaction, it reacts to the nukes. And it's not even that they think about the nukes or think about us. It's just there's something about even the nuclear material or what we do that attracts either this, what, some form of foreign plasma. Right. Like that is just imitating us. Because there's that story too. Like, what if it's barely even a thought. Like the. What if it forms? And it looks like something that we recognize because it's just this sort of mimicking material that's around the planet Earth that comes from the ocean.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And that it's just been here for a long time. And who knows? That's one thing. And there's also this thing that they're going to come and they're going to help facilitate a world change. And then there's going to be a new era of peace. And I think that that's when it starts getting religious. You think so that's what I mean. In terms of.

[Ed Larson]

That sounds nice.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I think that anything that's biological that's going to get here is not good news for us. And so I don't think. I think the new era is not going to include us.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, well, you know, if you go all the way back to, you know, Christ, if you believe in that, you know, they. You know, as soon as someone starts saying we should all be nice to each other and be peaceful, we'll just kill them.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, maybe what they understood is in the very, very deep down we are all connected. Some weird neural network that doesn't need to have God to exist. It doesn't need to have anything that it's literally. We are made of the same stuff. We are connected on a much deeper level. And maybe one day science will show that. And that it does hurt us when we hurt ourselves. And that it hurts us as a group. And that we maybe could move together as one and not think about it as the nwo. That we could understand that we're all just people. Or is that just fucking dumb shit?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Well, also, alien invasion, people say, is the only thing that could bring the world together.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's what Project Bluebeam says is they're going to create an NWO by doing a fake alien invasion. That's the other thing people are talking about. Is this all fake? Is it all fake? Because I did get some footage that was just straight up drones.

[Ed Larson]

If it was fake, then the government would be talking about. About it more.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't know. This is the. This is why it's confusing, Eddie. That's why it's. It's because their reaction, they're not saying like, oh, we know exactly what it is. It's just silence.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, it is just total silence.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And then we're all just supposed to sit here and act like it's not happening.

[Ed Larson]

But then also, I mean, we say it's total silence, but then you got the New Jersey senator saying one is wanting to know what it is.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. In between slurping down pork rolls and his mistress. He doesn't really care. You mean like these guys, Senators don't give a.

[Ed Larson]

They're all just asking, man.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, he just got an email that was like. You know what I mean? Like, these senators are garbage. All these pieces of.

[Ed Larson]

So how are you gonna believe anything then?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I don't. I believe these people. I believe in the American people to up.

[Ed Larson]

Because they have.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They really have been. But I believe in. I believe in humanity and I believe that there is. There's some kind of lesson. It seems to be here that we don't know quite what the beginnings of is or what the actual lesson is. And I think that it's gonna be a little bit before we figure that out.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So right now it's just innocuous activity that has not hurt anything in airspace. That's mostly what they're kind of saying. They're waiting for it to fuck up a plane for they'll do anything about it. That's like one of the big excuses that it has.

[Ed Larson]

I was flying a plane over there. They would shoot me down, dude.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You hear about the story about the. One of the stories I got sent this week was about a sovereign citizen that crashed his own plane, but almost murdered a commercial flight because he took off his. He just took off in a plane with. Not telling. Without telling anybody.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. You gotta tell people if you're gonna take off in a plane.

[Henry Zabrowski]

There are rules. Some rules are there for a reason, and there's not a lot of them. Not social rules, like, not a lot of these rules. But when it comes to the flight in the sky with other machines, that's not about liberty.

[Ed Larson]

We need to know.

[Henry Zabrowski]

We gotta know, buddy. It's not impinging, man. You know, like, we believe of all of the stuff. Let's talk about that, buddy in the sky. You're not traveling if you're flying. That real. You must have a license.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. That's why there's no flying cars.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But look at that. So that. Exactly. Except we're about to get flying drones for the 2028 LA Olympics. Well, I mean, those are the taxi drones.

[Ed Larson]

Taxi drones?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

That's a really bad idea, Eddie.

[Henry Zabrowski]

But the drivers in LA are so great on the ground.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

They're definitely going to do great in a 4D space.

[Ed Larson]

I feel like, like every other month someone I like, kind of know gets hit by a car in la. It's just crazy.

[Henry Zabrowski]

There's no way. I love Gavork. He's my favorite Uber driver, and I can't wait to see him in a B52. We're going to have so much fun. Yeah, you can sm. Tell them you can smoke. The best part about these Uber drivers flying the taxis is that they can smoke.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Because you can open the window.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yes. Oh. I mean, that be if you could smoke. I'm for the flying the dro. The drone taxis.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's all. All Uber drivers want to do is.

[Ed Larson]

Be able to smoke in the car and up there. Wonderful.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, dude, I'm talking cigarettes, man.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, you. You want to go backwards?

[Henry Zabrowski]

I was just saying I feel like whatever relaxes them.

[Ed Larson]

You want to go forward?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Let gor smoke his Bulgarian cigarettes.

[Ed Larson]

No, he has to smoke American cigarettes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Right.

[Ed Larson]

If he's going to smoke cigarettes, he's smoke our cigarettes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Thank you, Eddie.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, that's right.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Give back. Well, today was filled with a lot of emotions, wasn't it?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I can. I just.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Emotions for side stories before.

[Ed Larson]

I got one thing I just want us to keep our eye on. And I don't know much about it. It just happened real quick. Before we go. This story, the story is insane, and I don't get it. And I feel like no one's talking about it. I just want to. I think I want to talk about it more next week. But here's like, a little teaser. Apparently yesterday or two days ago, from when you hear this, there was a giant, giant gang massacre in Haiti. If you don't know, Haiti is completely run by gangs now.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's not doing great.

[Ed Larson]

The government doesn't matter anymore.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

They stood. There is a government, technically, and they say they are going to go after the gangs because of what happened. But in short, one of the gang's leaders, their son got really sick and someone told them that it was a voodoo curse. And so. And that the elderly were responsible are the people who practice the voodoo. And so he went to a slum and killed 180 residents over 60 years old.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know what that's called?

[Ed Larson]

Dragged them all in the street and shot him and stabbed him and killed him.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And I'm not happy with this guy. I'm not happy with him. I don't think it was the right choice, but he got stuff done. Well, the prime minister, he probably did more for that. I mean, think about how hard it is to pass a law in America.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know how hard it would be for Joe Biden to murder. Murder. 60 voodoo preaches in a town like without up. You need a warrant and stuff, which takes like 12 hours.

[Ed Larson]

The gang rounded up scores of residents over 60 from their homes in the Wharf Germane area and shot or stabbed them to death with knives and machetes. Witnesses reported that mutilated bodies were burned in the streets. The death toll could rise. The UN Human rights chief, Volkner Turk, which is. I mean, a scary name. It is.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's cool kind of way, though. It's kind of funny.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, put that. Put it at.184 people. Estimate the number of people killed in gang violence this year in Haiti is over 5,000. Geez, Lou. So like we. Haiti is a small country. It is a very small country. Lots of the gangs have completely taken over and they had a mass execution of the elderly this week. And they're saying that the gangs control everything and are taking everyone's cell phones away. Away. So the residents aren't able to spread information about this attack. So we really don't know anything yet.

[Henry Zabrowski]

This I'm. We will get deeper into the story.

[Ed Larson]

It is a insane story.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It is just. That is intense.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Because I'm surprised because I guess, like, I'd actually want to know more about that side storytelling. Potl, Gmail, Anyone knows anything, please. And the state of voodoo in Haiti. It was also must be that. That is interesting, because I thought it was really a popular, like, folk thing. Like, I did not know.

[Ed Larson]

It's obviously not real.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, unless you believe it.

[Ed Larson]

Unless.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Unless you're getting murdered by a Haitian gang leader over it, then it's pretty fucking real.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anywhere that the child actually died. The child's just sick.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, that's the thing. I mean, that's crazy. When I have a cold, I might as well be dead.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, the kid died.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, okay.

[Ed Larson]

Okay, good. Yeah, I know. No, not a child.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, it's not good. I'm not saying it's good. Also, in just as important news, apparently, according to our favorite Gypsy rose with her former husband, the D is in fact, not fire. Even though she said in a sworn statement that her ex husband's D was fire.

[Ed Larson]

Damn, I'm on a high right now. I'm living my best life and y'all.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Can'T take that from me.

[Ed Larson]

And the D is yes.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So unfortunately no. And I actually can. What? Don't know why she would say that. Because I'm looking at Ryan Scott Anderson now, and yes, he does look like Winnie the Pooh, but you don't think that Winnie the Pooh knows how to.

[Ed Larson]

It looks like if you cracked him open, Brian Thompson would come out.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You see, we always come back to humor. We always come back to humor. Oh, wow. What a day. So next week, don't wear. We're almost at Christmas. I feel like that's also part of the reason why I'm feeling, like, extra edgy. But I'm. I'm happier this year than I've been in years. I'm very fucking stressed.

[Ed Larson]

Stress, miss.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's a hard holiday season. I think that we gotta be. I know people talk about this, but we gotta be good to each other.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

During this time period, you gotta live every day knowing for a fact that, yeah, sometimes Grandma, she's a fucking bitch. Hey, you know, it's Christmas time. Everybody just shut up about it for a little bit. You can laugh about it with your grandmother, you know what I mean? She's got some fucking bad things to say. She got some bad stuff, bad thoughts in her brain, but, you know, fucking. Put Sebastian Maniscalco on.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Smoke weed, dude. Get your grandmother walk, man. Help out. Take the dog for a walk. Go get Stone.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Some people get paranoid, Eddie.

[Ed Larson]

But for those. For those of you.

[Henry Zabrowski]

And if you. But if you get paranoid and it's. You're not into it, that's. I totally get it.

[Ed Larson]

It's entertainment for everyone else.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Fucking make yourself come in your asshole.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Like, honestly, I want to say you try.

[Ed Larson]

When's the last time you shot one in the. In the air, then threw down your pants and caught it with your. With your hole? It's hard. Come. You come jerking jerk and jerk when.

[Henry Zabrowski]

We were just in New York and.

[Ed Larson]

You come in the air real, real, real far, and then you take it off your pants and you lay down on your belly and you try to catch it with your.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah. It's called the Bellagio. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did. Yeah. That was just in New York.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Yeah. No.

[Henry Zabrowski]

So. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Okay.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Very recently. But if you ask my wife, she would say yes. The D is fire.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Because. Oh, man, oh, man. When I catch that coming. My. She's the happiest she's ever going to be that week.

[Ed Larson]

She comes in your ass.

[Henry Zabrowski]

No, when I do it for her. When I. When I do the Bellagio.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. When you bl. It's a great trick.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's how I got her.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

You know, it's like. It's. I don't. Just because I'm fucking sexy. That's not just why she's with me. I'm funny. I'm entertaining. I said some stuff today, right. I don't even remember what I said today. I feel like I blacked out in rage.

[Ed Larson]

Well, that's the thing. I promise we're going to get back to the jokes next week.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I feel like we were still vaguely funny. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

I need stories.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Big stories.

[Ed Larson]

It's big stories and we got to talk about them. You know, it's. It's. You know, it's hard because it's like the information is very important.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Well, it's because we're also.

[Ed Larson]

You shouldn't be getting the info from us. Well, well, I think whatever you heard today, let this spark your interest and go out and learn a lot more from credible news sources.

[Henry Zabrowski]

That's my only thing, though.

[Ed Larson]

The Guardian. I trust the Guardian.

[Henry Zabrowski]

I trust the Guardian. I read the Guardian.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Yeah, I read the Guardian. Al Jazeera, honestly, is pretty good.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Zabrowski]

From the outside.

[Ed Larson]

You know who I trust? I hate them. But you know who I trust?

[Henry Zabrowski]

Who?

[Ed Larson]

Tmz.

[Henry Zabrowski]

TMZ knows what's happening the fastest. Like they have connect we talked about.

[Ed Larson]

I do hate them.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Oh, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

But don't think I don't, because they.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Break stories faster than anybody else.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, my God. If you hear a rumor that someone's dead, it's like, oh, Prince is dead. It's on. It's.

[Henry Zabrowski]

It's there first, but we'll do some listener emails tomorrow. Next week. We're going to get really silly right before the holiday. I do believe we're going to do a little. We might do a little something extra for the holiday. I think it'll be fun. Yes. Go see us. Go watch the stream. This. The stream. I promise. Promise you it's going to be a laugh a minute.

[Ed Larson]

What? The last stream on the left.

[Henry Zabrowski]

Stream on the left. Go to patreon.com Last podcast on the left.

[Ed Larson]

Also, check this out. I'M wearing my. For today, I'm wearing my last podcast on a Left Alien shirt.

Yeah, man, I saw that Emilia Perez movie.

Movie's not good, though, that she's in, though, that you should. It is bad. It is bad.

[Ed Larson]

I love Solid. That's why I went. You know, I. I literally. I was at the IFC center in New York, and I literally walked out, like, 40 minutes in. I was like, listen, this movie fucking sucks. Can I go see Carrie? Because Carrie was playing. And then he's like, all right, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

We both walked out of a movie this weekend in New York. But, you know What? I didn't walk out of.
