We are realizing and rising against the billionaires and they are scared. CEOs of insurance companies, Elon, Zuckerberg, ABC News,...what are they so afraid of? I'm not a billionaire. I'm not afraid. I will never go down to this horrible "Maralardo" to have dinner with a petulant little boy bully with a full diaper just to insure I will make less billions next year then I did this year. We are rising against these pieces of f**king sh*t.
Here on the ground, change happens fast. Problems feel frequent and urgent. It's loud and anxiety runs high. From a satellite view, the Earth looks the same as it did thousands of years ago. We've been here before. Let's learn from our past and shoot for a better hello and welcome to this episode of A Satellite View. I'm Todd Mickelson, your host, speaking at you from Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024. In the space and time continuum, we have a few deer taking a nap in our backyard right now. We're proud that they feel safe. They've been here a lot this summer, other summers as well, but this summer probably more than ever. There was one time where there were nine of them in the backyard. Two of them were kind of watching guard and seven of them were taking a nap. They were out there for hours. It's kind of fun. Anyway, this morning, I live in central time here in Minnesota by Lake Minnetonka at 3:01am M. It was a full moon, the super full moon. Very powerful times that we're living in. You can see the changes going on in the world. Some people understand what's going on and some don't. Some who do are scared of it, and it seems like they should be. The people who would have the least amount of fear in the world, the billionaires. What a bunch of fucking wusses. All right, yeah, we're, we're in the age of, uh, cussing here on the show. I don't know, it still feels uncomfortable to me. I still might have to change back to making up a. I still think it's funny when people say friggin, what a bunch of friggin wuss jobs these billionaires are. I'm not a billionaire, so I don't need to worry, apparently. What is with these guys, you know, and frig you, Jeff Bezos, frig you, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, all these people now giving a million dollars or more. Well, Elon Musk gave millions and millions and millions. Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, they go down to Mar a Lago, have dinner, uh, with the idiot, and then contribute a million dollars to his inaugural. And then even worse, ABC News yesterday there was a news story that said that Donald Trump had to come in for a deposition. And for about an hour, everybody was saying, oh, he does not want that. It's going to be on video. He's really bad at doing depositions because he gets mad because he's a petulant little bully boy. And he was going to have to Be talking about all the sexual assault and rape that he performs. Yes. Abc. I'm not afraid to call Donald Trump a rapist. ABC News, you're afraid to get. Yeah, you're afraid of Donald Trump. So it's. This was because Donald Trump is suing ABC News no longer, I guess, but he was suing ABC News for defamation because Stephanopoulos said that he was an adjudicated rapist, which is what the judge in the Eugene Carroll case in New York said Donald Trump was. So it is a truth. It's the truth. And I'm going to get a little lewd here because I think it's hilarious. So when I heard that it was digital penetration, I was like, what? Something on the Internet? What are you talking about? Digital penetration? And this is what's hilarious. It's, it's some m. Uh, I don't know, legal term, uh, referring to your fingers. You know how everyone used to call your fingers your digits because people would use their fingers to count? So Eugene Carroll was terrified. She had her eyes closed and she didn't know what was being used to penetrate her. Okay, now that's the gross part. It's horrifying. But the fact that you can't tell the difference between Donald Trump's little finger and his little other thang is hilarious. But, yeah, it's a horrible thing. But he's a horrible, horrible, horrible man. If you can call him a man, I feel like. No, I feel like we can't call him a man. Actually, somebody, uh, put on Blue Sky. An apt description of him if I can find it. Yeah. Anthony Citrano. Who? I have no idea who that is, but he showed up on Blue sky and he writes. It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face. Now, I'm trying, I'm trying, trying, trying to remember not to go into the Donald Trump voice. I was thinking I should, whenever I am going to do the Donald Trump voice, I should just do Casey Kasem instead. And then when I'm reading transcripts that Trump has said in Casey Kasem's voice, I think that'll, that'll be, uh, entertaining and funny. So getting back to, I'm not a billionaire. I don't have to be afraid of Trump. Why are these guys afraid of Trump? It's because they think he's going to become the president of the United States and do all kinds of things to make them lose money. Well, they can't afford to lose money. They have multi. Billions of dollars. I don't have the kind of fear that I might lose billions of dollars because I don't have a billion dollars. I am grateful to not be a billionaire. And part of what's going on right now, with all this energy that's going on, I mean, all the things that happened last week in the other countries, Assad had to go take asylum in Russia. Something I see in the future of somebody else. Maybe two people here, Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Elon Musk is not going to make it to summer staying in this country. You know how he said if Donald Trump loses, he's so frigged and will go to jail for the rest of his life? That's Elon Musk saying that to Tucker Carlson. So what have you done, Elon? What do you know? And I think we're going to know what he knows in the next few months. I think he's already. He's an idiot and he doesn't even realize that he's already getting under Donald Trump's skin. And everyone that works with Donald Trump, not to mention every American, he's going to have nobody left on his side. Now, of course, Donald Trump is indebted to him because he bought the election for Donald Trump. We're going to be finding out a lot about what Elon Musk did and why Elon Musk thinks that he would go to jail if Trump had not won the election. And I don't think Elon Musk is going to be allowed to stay in the United States anymore. Deported, I say more likely escape. And yes, I'm very serious about that. I'm not making an official prediction, but I feel very strongly that that is going to happen. And all the surprises that have been going on in the world, in Europe, in other countries, in the Middle east, perhaps some surprises here in the United States. I don't know. I don't know. But, uh, the billionaires are scared. They don't seem to. Um, and abc. Okay, well, here's what ABC News did. I didn't finish that story. I don't think Donald Trump is suing them for defamation. Yeah, that's right. I went into the digital, digital penetration story. Uh, and they could. They bent their knee, they, they folded, they collapsed under the pressure. They settled with Donald Trump. They said they will do an apology to him and they would give $15 million to the Donald Trump Library, the Donald Trump Presidential Library. First of all, why has there been no talk of a Donald Trump Presidential Library? He already has been the former president for four years. Usually four years after you become president is, uh, kind of groundbreaking time for your presidential library. There's not going to be a Trump Presidential Library. There's not going to be one who would let it be anywhere where it would have to. If there was going to be one, it would have to be in Mississippi or someplace like that. I mean, they're not. New York State's not going to allow it to be there. Is that his? I mean, uh, there's not going to be. So basically, they just gave Trump $15 million because they told the truth about him on their error. So the one time that, uh, major media source tells the truth, they have to apologize and give up money. Okay, you friggin wuss jobs. ABC News, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg. These guys need to take a lesson from Charlie Angus, a Member of Parliament in Canada. This is how you talk about Donald Trump. We're not gonna be slapped around like this. I think there's a tradition in Canada of not wanting to be openly confrontive, which is fair. I think that's who we are. But Donald Trump's a different kind of animal. He's playing for the rage algorithms. Um, and I don't think we should allow him that free reign. So for me, it was really simple. Standing up and saying no, um, we're gonna have tough negotiations, fair play. But this kind of dismissive, idiotic behavior, I mean, he's a juvenile. And I invite Donald Trump come up anytime in the winter, Donald, try and drive our roads, Try and win an argument with any woman in Canada. Uh, try and take us on, on anything where we are very comfortable at. We're pretty tough and resilient people. All right? That's how you talk to Donald Trump. Jeff and Mark and Elon and ABC News. Now, that is Charlie Angus. He is part of the New Democratic Party in Canada. The Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, who called himself the Maple MAGA guy. So he's a big Donald or used to be a Donald Trump fan. And he's very conservative. He's working along with Charlie Angus against Donald Trump and Donald Trump's idiotic tariffs on Canada. 65% of the crude oil imported into the U.S. is from Canada. 85% of the electricity imported into the U.S. is from Canada. And here's what Doug Ford says about that. We will, uh, go to the extent of cutting off their energy going down to Michigan, going down to New York State and over to Wisconsin. I, uh, don't want this to happen. Uh, but my number one job is to protect Ontario. Uh, Ontarians and Canadians as a whole. We'll use every tool in our toolbox, including, uh, cutting them off energy that we're sending down there. Uh, folks, uh, this is coming. It's not. If it is, it's coming, and it's coming January 20th or 21st. And, uh, we need to be prepared. All right, that's a threat. He's not afraid to threaten the United States. Uh, you know, I. Meantime, Donald Trump, I don't know, he thinks he's funny by calling Trudeau the Prime Minister of Canada, the Governor of the 51st State of the United States. So clever. So funny. Idiot. Not only the stats I said about crude oil and electricity. Also, Canada is the number one exporter to the US of steel, aluminum, uranium, and 34 other minerals that the Pentagon says is important to our national security. Minnesota exports grew 17% in the second quarter of 2024, and it was from Canada and Mexico. And Donald Trump already had to subsidize farmers back when he was president because farmers were losing so much money because they couldn't export because of retaliatory tariff, trade, war BS that Donald Trump is too much of an idiot to not have happen. Minnesota farmers are afraid because they export to Canada and Mexico and China, and if that stops, they're dead. And then we'll probably have to subsidize them again. How will we pay for that? So, yeah, he's. He's mocking Canada, our closest ally, both in proximity and politically. This is another thing that Charlie Angus said last week. So, yes, they are neighbors, but we have stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Donald Trump, a convicted predator who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the United States. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us. You know, the conservatives seem to like it because he's insulting our prime minister, but he's not really insulting the prime minister. He's insulting Canadians, calling us the 51st state. That's right. Exactly. Yeah. Ah, so they're pissed. Canada is pissed at the United States because Donald Trump is an idiot. They're not afraid to call him a convicted predator. That's a member of Parliament in Canada. We do. We need Canada. Yes, we need Canada. If these things happen, the people who voted for Trump are going to be the first ones in line to be hurt. And that's fine with me. I'M not a billionaire, so I'm not afraid. But I'm also not a dirt poor person who can't afford groceries when prices go up. When Donald Trump becomes president. I should say if Donald Trump becomes president. And yes, I'm not sure he's going to become president. He could die. Very good chance he could die. He does not seem healthy. Yes, I do see surprises happening here in the United States. Astounding surprises similar to things that have gone on in other, uh, countries around the world in these just these last couple of weeks. And I think part of the reason those things are happening is because of the election here in the United States where we stupidly somehow did not stand behind the best candidate of our lifetimes. Anyway, all right, I've gone over time. It's time for a break. When we come back, I want to talk more about the billionaire class in this country. And, uh, people talk about a, uh, civil war. What we're going to have in this country is class war and I'm glad to fight it against these billionaires. So let's talk a little bit more about some changes that have gone on in the last couple weeks having to do with that. When we come back. You're listening to a satellite view. We'll be right back. Mhm. And we're back on a satellite view. Don't forget to sign up on my Instagram PA you can go to my website toddmickleson.com and find, uh, links to become a part of. Otherwise go on Instagram. And I'm Odd Nicholson. Interesting things going on. Here's a story. For 15 years, Donna and Gary Lindaberry, which I can't say without laughing. I'm sorry. Ah, uh, I love it when, um, parents give their child. I, I know a family where all of the kids start with the letter D because their last name starts with the letter D. I'm not going to say who it is because this person might be listening. But Gary's father, Mr. Linda Berry, decided to name his son Gary. All right, so I'm going to get through the story without laughing at their names. All right. For 15 years, Donna and Larry Linda Ber of Vialless, North Carolina, lived with the financial equivalent of an anvil over their heads. A medical debt owed to a nonprofit hospital that at one point reached $200,000. The debt owed to Atrium Health for emergency heart surgery gary underwent in 2009 grew over the years to include almost $100,000 in interest charges. His wife Donna, who's 72, said, we were striving we were trying. We paid our bills, but I just couldn't afford to pay that hospital. As the years went by and the debt remained, the hospital system placed a lien on their house. Their home. Yeah. Gary, who's now 80, says, you know, we've just been so consumed with just trying to get by with this problem. Then in early November, the Lindaberrys received a letter from Atrium Health telling them it was removing what was left on the lien more than $92,000 and leaving them free and clear of any obligation to the hospital. They were among the beneficiaries of a decision the hospital system announced in September to release 11,500 liens on people's homes in North Carolina and five other states, some of which dated back 20 or more years. Donna Lindaberry says it's like a miracle. We just thought we're never going to own our house and be able to pass it down to our kids. And now they can. Now, I thought this story was interesting because I saw it, um, and let's see when it was released. December 12, 2024. And I'm reading to you from NBC News. And they released the story right after this guy gunned down on the sidewalk in New York at point blank range. Basically the CEO of a huge health insurance company, the shooter. Some people are kind of almost thinking of him as some sort of hero. So this is a really odd story. It's really surprising. By the way, talk about surprising things happening here in the United States after this weird energy shift going on. So you would think that, you know, this Atrium Health, they made this decision back in September and early November is when they let everyone off from owing them all this money. So does that make Atrium Health some sort of hero? No. Atrium Health is part of Advocate, uh, health. And advocate health's decision to release thousands of liens on former patients home came after NBC news detailed how its Atrium Health unit aggressively pursued patients medical debts. So after NBC News, which is astonishing in itself, NBC news is, uh, some people are calling it legacy media, it's corporate media. And they went after a fellow corporation and did some deep investigative journalism and did a story on how this Atrium Health was raping people of all of their finances, holding it over their heads. And then when NBC news came out with the story, Atrium Health folded and let everyone loose. I think this is a pretty incredible thing going on, this shooting now, however you feel about that. Of course, I, I am very much against gun violence. I am very much against any kind of violence. I am very much against murder. But uh, right now, the way people are talking about this, this shooter, everyone around him, including his mother, basically talked about how he became a completely different person starting a few months ago. His mother put a missing persons out on him in November because she hadn't even spoken to him since July and had no idea where he was or what was going on with him. He seems to have uh, illusions of grandeur himself. He's been, uh, struggling, uh, with severe back pain and back issues. I don't know all the details, but he couldn't afford to take care of himself because of the insurance companies and he decided to do this. Now like I said, I don't condone the particular decision he made. But in history books, this event is going to be part of a turn that is necessary. People are starting to tell their stories. I saw one woman talking about that. She said she was drugged and raped in her own apartment by an acquaintance of hers. She went through the very difficult decision to go to an emergency room and get uh, a rape kit. And that is a long, drawn out, very painful and gross and humiliating. Uh, I mean people who have gone through that talk about just that. I mean this is always like the day after or the same day that they had to go through the trauma of being raped. And then this, this woman said she was there for seven hours. She said, of course I was already major league traumatized because I was just drugged and raped in my own apartment. So the trauma that I went through during this seven hours. And she said, yes, all the stories you hear about it are true. So just going through the procedure of the analysis after you're raped. She said, I was, uh, you know, did everything I could. I brought my sheets, my, the clothes I had on. I brought it all for evidence, but it was still a very, very painful process. And then two weeks later she gets a bill that had cost $1200. And then it said insurance denied. And yes, it was UnitedHealthcare. She got a, uh, bill every two weeks after that saying you better pay up. And they got more and more sort of threatening about it. That's how we treat our people here. The insurance company is just making billions and billions of dollars, the CEO making tens of millions of dollars a year for doing this to American citizens. Billionaires are feeling nervous because the people are rising and seeing that. You know what, it's the billionaires that are holding us down. And we need to have this in this country. We need class warfare, non violent. But we need to knock these guys down to where they need To. Should they? Okay, they're, uh. They, uh. And what do they do with their money? They're running scared. They're having to go down and have dinner with a guy who's got a full diaper at Marardo. They're so scared. I'm grateful to not be a billionaire. They have. No, it's all the kind of guys who become. And you. You rarely hear of women billionaires. But anyway, the kind of guys who become billionaires, they don't even have enough creativity to use their money for. I don't. What. What about philanthropy? What about just, I don't know, taking some nice trips? Why do you all got to get so involved in politics now? Why do you need to make sure that the power ensures that you retain every penny of your billions? You're not living a happy life. I'm grateful to not be one of you pieces of shit. Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk. They ain't no human beings. So there are people who are not people. Them being them. We will never converge with them. People need to come together in this country. And the way I'm starting to see it is people like that. No. All these pukes who go on media. There's this guy, Scott Jennings, I think is his name. Uh, he is the most hateable person right now. And I'm calling him a person because I'm not sure what he is, but he's not a person. But, uh, no, we're never going to compromise with him. We're never going to come together with him. No. Dean Phillips said we need to celebrate the MAGA movement. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. The MAGA movement needs to be squelched. And a lot of MAGA people who voted for Trump are starting to see that the most Googled phrase on election day was, can I change my vote now? Of course. Yeah. That just makes you want to punch everybody around you. It's hard to not be super pissed at these idiots, but some of them are fellow human beings. And I'm feeling like, okay, there's going to come a day, and that day, I believe has come. But more and more of them are going to become sorry for supporting this. They are going to be remorseful for being a part of this. And those are the kind of people that. It's like when you're on a hike and there's just somebody who can't keep up, you know? Come on, come on, keep up. Pay attention. We're turning here now. Yeah, yeah, that's a, uh, that's a Pretty butterfly, but we got to keep moving. I think it's going to be like that. You know, we need to keep our patience with these idiots and help them keep up with us so that we can come together and become more of a force. Scott Jennings, uh, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, you're not invited on this hike. You're not going to be a part of this. But a lot of you people who are showing some remorse and regret for supporting this idiot Donald Trump, you can come, but you better keep up with us. We'll help you, but try and learn, all right? Learn faster. Uh, um, I'm going to play you a clip here of an example of just the type of person I'm talking about. And yes, it is very frustrating, but I don't think this guy is an animal or a reptile or whatever. Donald, uh, Trump and Elon Musk is. What percentage of your workers are not US born? Probably half. About half, yeah. How many hours does this go on? It's 24 hours a day. You know, we could milk eight hours a day, but it wouldn't be feasible or profitable for us to produce milk. So you need workers, like this year round? Yes. Yes. Governor Christine Noem of South Dakota, her farm is just a few miles away. This farmer who voted for her, who voted for Trump, who still supports them, doesn't believe that they would round up immigrants and ask them for their immigration status because it's an open secret that farms in this state are held up by undocumented workers. Are you worried, like some of your other farmers, that if there were a mass roundup of undocumented migrants that you might lose workers, he might not have enough workers? Well, the question I asked, how are they going to do that? Within two days, we will not have food. There will not be food anywhere. Two days? Yes. That's why I predict nobody will be filling shelves, nobody will be producing food. If we once have to shut down and be gone, it's never coming back. Does Governor Noem understand that? I would think so. You have a lot of faith that they're not going to do what they're saying? That's pretty much what I'm thinking. We have to trust, uh, in our officials that are put in place. We have to trust in our officials that have been put in place to do the opposite of what they told us they were going to do. We have to trust that our officials are lying to us. That's what this guy, who's an idiot, who voted for Kristi Noem and Donald Trump he's saying, well, I. We have to trust that Kristi Noem and Donald Trump are lying to us. We have to trust in them to be consistent liars. All right? It's very frustrating. If I was. I this. If. If I was that reporter, I would have kicked him in the shins, idiot. But what she did there is a step toward pointing out to him, okay, you realize that you're counting on Donald Trump to be lying to you. That's what you're hoping for. Because if Donald Trump's telling the truth, the country will be out of food in two days. Oh, God. It's hard not to laugh at these idiots and hate them, but we need to find a way, and it's good to be pissed at them now. You need to go with the feelings you have, but we need to try and learn how we're going to handle this in the near future, because these people are going to be fellow Americans along with us in whatever we're going to go through here in the next weeks, months and years. And obviously, that guy thinks a lot of it's up in the air. He's banking on Trump not doing anything that he said he's going to do. Other farmers are banking on Trump to not do the tariffs. This guy's banking on Trump to not take away all of his workers and deport them. So those are the two main things Trump said he wants to do on day one. On day one, let's do a countdown on. At the top of our charts. On day one, I'm gonna do tariffs that will run the whole country out of business, and then I'm gonna deport 11 to 20 million people so that the country will run out of food in two days. There, that's Casey Kasem saying what Donald Trump would. I want to leave you with one more thing that happened this week that was extremely frustrating when it first happened. But this is a lesson that we gotta. We gotta know what we're talking about here. We gotta look as deep as possible into everything that's actually going on. Some things are not as they seem. I was really angry when Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI, said he's going to resign instead of let Trump fire him. I thought, no, fight against Trump and make him fire you and then belittle him for doing so, because Donald Trump will have to fire you for no reason. For no reason. And that's not what he's supposed to be doing. So make him pay. Make him at least have to go through that and be ridiculed but no, he said, I'm, um, going to Resign as of January 20th. I was really mad, and I was like, what a wuss, what a coward. And I was lumping him in with Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and these people. But then I found out if the FBI director is fired, then the president who just fired him can immediately replace him with his own choice. He can immediately put Kash Patel in place of Christopher Wray, if he fires Christopher Wray. But if the FBI director resigns, then his deputy becomes the head of the FBI and Trump has to have his pick go through confirmation. Christopher Wray is fired. Donald Trump could put Cash Patel in immediately. Since Christopher Wray resigned, Donald Trump cannot put Cash Patel in until Kash Patel goes through Senate confirmation hearings and the full confirmation process and then voted on the Senate floor. And that's not going to happen. I really don't think that's able to happen because Kash Patel is not going to be able to pass confirmation. The deputy of the FBI right now oversaw a big portion of the Mar A Lago investigation and was a big part of getting the search warrant approved by a judge so that they could go into Mar A Lago and find out that Donald Trump had stolen secrets sitting in his bathroom. This is a good guy. We want him to be the next leader of the FBI. I don't know, maybe he'd even be better than Christopher Ray. I don't know. But at least we have somebody who's sane heading up the FBI for the next weeks and months to come. Instead of Cash Patel being immediately installed after Donald Trump would have within, uh, you know, Christopher Wray is resigning as of January 20th. On January 20th or 21st, Trump would have fired him and put Cash Patel in anyway. So one of those times when the, you know how everybody overuses the thing about, uh, four dimensional chess? It's kind of like the word awesome. I don't use the word awesome unless something awesome happens, which is almost never. Something awesome would be like the sun exploding and you witnessing it. That's when you would say awesome, because that would be an awesome thing to. Otherwise, don't use the word awesome and don't use the word four dimensional chest unless it's something like this. This is an appropriate time to use that phrase. Christopher Wray resigning means that Cash Patel will not become the FBI head, whereas if he would have let Trump fire him, Cash Patel would have immediately became the head of the FBI. So smart move on everybody's part there. We just got to keep throwing sand in Trump's gears. Need to keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it. And we need to stick together on it. So I've gone way over it. Again, thank you so much for sticking with me here on a satellite view. Let's keep each other sane. I hope stories like that helps you keep sane. I'll keep digging into things that are boring like that to try and find the good in what looks like so many bad things happening. I am feeling optimistic and I will, I will help bring some of that optimism to you here on a satellite view. So again, thank you so much for listening. Let's keep each other together. We're in this together. Like Kamala says, we're in this together. So let's stick together and help each other get through these crazy times. I will speak at you next week. Thank you for listen, you've been listening to a, uh, satellite view with Todd Mickelson. Go to ToddMickkelson.com for links. SA.
