0:00 thank you [Music] welcome back to another great episode of careful boys we have with us Mr Jake Tran wow [Applause] I was just watching one of your videos I was telling you earlier this guy makes really great in-depth videos about everything government scandals like all kinds of really deep stuff uh you have a Julian Assange video you guys one of my favorites you got things that most people don't even dare mention hopefully you're calling out Assange right for his crimes [Laughter] how did you get into doing videos like that so it was always my dream to be a YouTuber I should watched you guys in like middle school and early High School yeah like all the old Asian humor videos how did you turn out so smart watching our videos I know you're so successful yeah yeah yeah what's the

0:51 secret yes I I I I had to do a bunch of tries so my first try was a Taekwondo Channel because I did that in high school didn't work out so I gave up went the traditional route became a web developer got bored really fast once I got the job I wanted so I went back to YouTube and it took me like another year of struggling until I kind of hit on this style yeah and I didn't go like the route of like these super controversial videos right away but at one point once I just start a new channel or you post all of it like like if you go far back enough on your channel you see you're doing kicks and stuff no uh different Channel I'll completely okay those other videos are kind of cringe aren't the First videos always yes that is true ours work classic bro our first ones best hits Greatest Hits dude our videos we posted today are cringe

1:41 because we shot those eight years ago yeah where was I so oh yeah so at one point I landed on this like video style of like b-roll voiceover and then I ended up watching a documentary on war profiteering and it just like blew my mind that people didn't know about this but in my in my mind if I made a video about this like no one would be interested because who would be interested in a video about war profiteering except for like nerds like me so I just kind of made it just to like satisfy my own thirst yeah and it ended up doing really well so I kind of just kept going down this route of other stuff related to this like more crime business power wow when I first saw your videos because I'm a fan of your work and I and I didn't know that you watched JK or nothing like that and I've been following you for a couple years I met I ran into one of your videos during um lockdown actually and

2:33 it was like a series of how you dissected like criminal organizations yeah and I love documentaries about Yakuza like Mafia and I've watched a ton of them but then it's like you have a fresh new perspective every single time so that it's like telling the same story but like with a different twist or you have a different angle or a different thing that I didn't know about so I'm like I really like that even even all these recent ones like about Julian Assange or whatever right like there's already so many documentaries out there but then the way he just compiles it I just don't know what that recipe is yeah yeah so there's a secret but yeah a big influence of mine was an author called Robert Greene who wrote the book 48 Laws of Power and Art of Seduction 33 strategies of war and a lot of human nature yeah he's good so one of my favorite authors and once I read 48 Laws

3:24 of Power that really blew my mind because he framed it as you know everyone around us is after power but in today's society we have to be like very cordial and uh appear to be fair and stuff like that but underneath the surface we still have all those same uh dark human emotions of like greed lust power that we did like centuries ago or even like biological drivers too yeah but today we we have to like appear more fair so I kind of I really like that angle of like his like how-to God on how to be more powerful so I kind of took that and applied that to the videos I make so it's like how to how to become a mafia member or something like that versus just like you know calling them bad do you have a favorite video favorite video um the Nestle one is the highest viewed one

4:14 right now so that's part of the reason why I like it so much but you're talking about the Dark Side of nestle in that one right yeah yeah can you help me they're just so good at like I guess putting yourself in that position can you help me love Jeffrey Epstein yeah what's your technology yeah what are the 48 Laws of Power that he's becoming you know he's just like exercising his biological needs or whatever do you think he was CIA connected oh man I'm definitely gonna get canceled for this I'll just ████ around yeah yeah hypothetically historically yeah uh sleeping with underage girls has been like the norm throughout history so he's uh so the laws of today are just recent yeah he's just leaning into his nature he's a traditionalist and sleeping with underage boys have been abnormed for for Elites for a long time it doesn't make it okay because every time we say ████ like this people go so you're ████ a

5:06 pedophile supporter he's like no you ████ ████ we're just stating the facts of what these rich and famous people have been doing for long long long long ████ time ████ ████ I can't say that out loud I have to say the subtext of that Jesus I know right like you got to spell it out yeah every ████ time so would you say like he's just a service provider to people that are doing things or are after things that have been going on for a long time he's like you can say that you can say that like a young booty broker yeah this probably is young booty broker that was on his business card yeah I hope you narrow some of your videos how to become a young booty broker clip art is ████ Jeffrey Epstein because you have to dodge the algorithm in the ████ box and ████ like that'll that'll pull it down yeah um yeah there is a lot of like

5:57 contextual evidence that he was probably a part of Massad uh the Jewish version of the the Israel version of the CIA yeah because Elaine's dad is was he KGB Massad n uh he was Mossad I believe oh but also the British one no I'm not sure I think he was like a double triple agent and my father he was a low agent and James Bond one yeah the James Bond one 008 and he had a big publication company in the UK it was it was the there was a ████ name I forgot the name of this but it's like being this is how our documentaries are honestly I should do it I forgot this ████ David Cuts all this stock footage yeah I love that it's still like a prepared recorded voiceover though the guy saying I forgot what it was like so this is MI5 oh wait oh ████

6:47 that's MI6 okay yes it's not even Drunk History it's just Joe's ████ history she Joe's memory history freestyle history yeah what about so Assange you said this is your favorite that's your part your favorite topic or the Nestle one uh my favorite video just because of how I like the storyline I created in this video like uh keeping the tension and stuff like that like the storytelling I really like that what do you think about what they're doing to him right now like he's getting extradited do you think he's dead dead yet or well you think he's dead meat like because because of that once they extradite him successfully yeah if he gets to America he's probably a chance huh yeah either like life in prison or suicide or suicide or suicide for sure from all the research that you've done is there like uh I guess a way that you view the world or Society like man like this world that everyone thinks operates

7:37 this way it's actually not like that at all and how do you view it yes so the reason why I can't make the videos I do is I kind of look through everything through the lens of power like uh I look at the power incentives and that's how I kind of come to the conclusions I come to um that's why I'm able to make the videos I I'm able to make and I guess one thing is usually like the Silicon Valley example if you've seen that video in Silicon Valley like from the outside to the public it's all about you know Innovation creating all these uh Innovative hyper growth companies but on the inside it's kind of like a Ponzi scheme word DC's will uh kind of Mark up their own deals and they'll CR Founders and VCS will

8:28 create this narrative and push this narrative up like this Super Hyper growth Innovative company when in reality it's like a company with a website an app like they haven't really invented anything new let's look at nft but Yeah the more they frame it as like this hyper Growth Company uh they can like Mark up the deal and then hopefully go public and exit so yeah that's why uh I don't know Newman the guy behind wework he just got uh like 350 million dollars in funding from the biggest BC firm one of the biggest a16z he's still doing wework no he's doing something else now oh because Masa Oshi son got murdered off of wework a lot of people do so he just got 350 million dollars in funding from one of the biggest Venture Capital firms in Silicon Valley AC 16z for a new startup called flow where they're

9:19 basically doing weed work but for apartments like fancy hipster apartments with or like Community oriented or whatever and uh everyone was surprised like he got funding and it's like not fair because uh about all the controversy but you know VCS they look for people they look for Founders who know how to play the game who know how to paint this Narrative of like a super Innovative high growth company so he like understands the game so of course you would bet on it yeah so now his company before with this funding round it's valid at a billion dollars already I see so they're just trying to dump on the hype so the VCS they they bet on this guy it blows up other billionaires goes oh ████ that's a that let's throw money at that ████ yeah and then they ████ rug pull the billionaires or the public if they go public yeah

10:09 yeah oh that's interesting allegedly have you allegedly taken a look at presidential libraries and how they're funded presidential libraries oh yeah Presidential Library the ones that are named after the president yeah no yeah the ones that President's built and they they have these foundations built around them that are also tax shelters and they basically get a they well their whole administrations they give ████ tons of money in foreign aid and then it's sort of interesting how foreign aid Finds Its way back into their pocket when they're building their presidential libraries very interesting no he was going to do the lighter side of Subway Jared oh yeah we should do a Subway did Subway really lose all that weight he humanizes all these guys you know what I mean like you help me help me sympathize with them so do you ever like you know throughout making all these videos with these kinds of topics you

10:59 never got afraid somebody would show up at your door and be like in a suit like you know that's one of the most common questions I get but in reality all the stuff I make is like public knowledge if they're just digging for it you'll find it it's not it's not like an actual journalist like I'm definitely not a journalist it's not like I'm a journalist like the guy Jamal khashoggi who got uh butchered by the Saudi Arabian uh family like he he was just like a normal journalist in Saudi Arabia like he does normal stuff that journalists over here would do yeah but he broke the wrong story basically oh yeah you can't do that to Prince Ali Ben talal dude yeah uh pencil man or whatever yeah but he's very rich yeah so he was yeah he he kept poking the bear he moved to America I kept poking the bear with the Washington Post so he had to go to Turkey for like to the Embassy to get like a Visa or something uh his wife was

11:50 waiting in the car he never came out and then like a little bit of time later the news broke that he got like literally cut up in the embassy something like that jeez well what's what's interesting to me is that when people look at public record Journal like journalism just normal journalism and then call them a conspiracy theorist like the stuff they would say like a lot of your videos are probably conspiracy videos but it's not a conspiracy if it's been proven to be true right yeah like people usually like fans usually come up to me and say like you know I really like conspiracy so I love your videos but I never viewed myself Conspiracy YouTube channel when you look at man on the street interviews and people don't even know who the vice president is you start to understand when more people think that maybe war profiteering is a conspiracy or like okay that's true yeah because you've

12:40 never thought about it yeah they don't they don't know they're trained by the media who are owned I mean operation Mockingbird like all these media entities are really in the pockets of the intelligence agencies that they don't even ████ criticize they don't criticize them in fact they hire all these guys they hire half of the time you're watching msnbcc and CNN Fox News you're talking to intelligence that's the best part dude get the more your hat just like goes off like oh it looked like the it was like a mood ring like Azure the more sincerely drop the more it was like the more enlightened you were getting enough you guys liking this ████ it's like a data processor yeah you're very vibrant right now moves to the music it's about thrown out of batteries oh man you better charge

13:32 that thing I know it's like my hat is fighting to survive and I'm like no it's just Vibes it's feeding off your vibrator feeding off The Vibes so now that you make a lot of these kind of videos do you think um you know sometimes you attract a lot of like QA non-types and like people that are just like ████ out out of this world oh I've got some like very strange emails I'm like oh like those types like really strange what would they say I never read the full email oh really you go off one sentence you're like oh ████ yeah no way too many commas in this sentence I don't know like one was like put me on like some mailing lists where he would just send me like links to like very strange articles so I had to like

14:22 block his email so stuff like that but I want to say that's like the majority of other viewers there's probably people trying to cite your videos to support their random weird problems and they're like no this guy said it okay when are you gonna come out with a lizard people video yeah what's your take on that no comment no comment I actually I actually did a deep dive on Hollow Earth recently and it's ████ hilarious wait what's Hollow Earth it's so dope it's ████ hilarious it's like there's a sun inside of our Earth you know we think it's like the Earth's core it's actually like a sun and like inside there there's like oceans yeah and like a whole ████ thing Inside Out World like and you can only enter through like Antarctica yeah through the polls there's a hole there that's pretty positive and it goes to the other side of the Earth yeah it goes all the way through and their argument is well how do you know what's really inside the middle of the Earth no one's been there

15:13 that's a strong argument how come no one's recording it all right I don't know why you're saying this ████ I think it all started from a pilot that went across the uh over the Antarctica and he makes claims that he had to make an emergency landing and this whole thing and he wrote like a novel about it um and there was a whole nother world out there and it just went from that oh so and I think that movie 300 lead or not under the sea but the what you know like when people go to there's an old ████ movie where they like go through the core of the earth 30 000 leagues below the sea with Hillary Swank oh yeah that's right ████ classic 90s movie really is it called the core yeah okay because I was thinking like a 1950s movie but it

16:03 probably is that actually okay uh so you know what I would dude if I was an alien race and and I wanted to ████ with humans I would make it so that yeah we take control of some guy's plane and then polar bears are landing him so he could never tell a ████ story where everyone's like you're a ████ idiot dude yeah and he's just going crazy his Rocky chair I want anyone to believe me yeah we were in polar bear outfits yeah he's like polar bears land I mean no no they could probably shape-shift into anything oh yeah and so like yeah we'll be polar bears we'll ████ with this idiot I'm glad we don't have recreationally cruel aliens like that not yet we don't know if you is there a topic uh where or a video that you posted where YouTube's kind of ████ with you a little bit um anything related to like recent War stuff like my Afghanistan video got demonetized really wow yeah any clue

16:53 would they say did they say why um it was about Afghanistan like the follow-up in the title did it say Afghanistan yes but can't the news talk about Afghanistan why can't you talk about I know I've checked and like new station New Station YouTube channels like they're still monetized for Afghanistan related videos but uh and you're just reflecting the stuff that they're saying yeah and I there was nothing too violent in the video and I requested a review for the monetization and it was disapproved so it's still demonetized what was there what we're saying in that video um I believe it was a summary of like how we got here with Afghanistan like the history of it and how we got here and in general I actually think YouTube is actually pretty good with monetization and uh not being too biased yeah compared to like Tick Tock or Instagram like Instagram Will Shadow back you without telling you yeah Tick Tock literally just says they shallow ban people in their terms of service

17:44 so they're like open about it at least but YouTube they actually like try like they have the uh monetization it's a little more favorable uh future they uh the creators have a YouTube manager that they can contact with and uh we're not big enough because we never had a manager I had one dude they're a joke anyway they just read off of a ████ script too yeah um I don't know my guy was pretty decent like uh a video got to monetize I told him about it he sent it uh up the chain of command and it got approved maybe it's changed they're good at that I think they're good at that but if it's if it's anything that kind of in the middle they they read off of a script and they don't know what to tell you and you're kind of cycled around so yeah for me anyway but yeah YouTube at least tries yeah that's true because the other ones that are like you're ████ did you ever make a video and then you were like

18:35 um you know for a while I didn't uh I didn't want to make a Jeffrey Epstein video but then there's no way you say uh every Gypsy partially a joke partially if you guys uh just in case YouTube uh because the Bots will read will like hear what you're saying yeah uh they were very strict about that with covert related stuff yeah yeah they were like if you just say coven it'll they'll catch it that's true damn that's when we were saying kovid remember yeah like uh it happens to Linus Tech tips the chat the tech Channel they said like Coven in one video it wasn't even related to covet and it caught it and got them monetized wow so yeah that is an actual thing but yeah I just said like partially for that and partially because I just think it's funny but yeah once I came up with the idea for the YouTube membership where they get you pay five bucks a month and you get a private documentary not released to the public

19:26 uh that's when I finally made the Jeffrey Epstein video so that video you can watch publicly you can only watch if they're in the club yes but I did release a public video uh on how Jeffrey Epstein part one of the ways he made his money was with an actual Ponzi scheme oh the the first Scandal right yeah yes and that promoted the private documentary at the end and that video um I was able to get away with it because I didn't put Jeffrey Epstein in a title just in his picture in the thumbnail so yeah that was a and I said average Epstein throughout the entire house do you have any thoughts on the Vegas shooting which one and what happened uh no thoughts I haven't really looked into it oh okay yeah it's pretty interesting what are your thoughts uh well there's a police report that's like live in the moment that says there's multiple people in there it wasn't just Steven Paddock it was like him and a

20:17 woman was there too in this in the room in the official yeah in the official police account but then in the news they don't talk about that ever at all there's it was the story is that Stephen Paddock acted alone and all that stuff but that again the police report it's right there so it's just very weird although there's a lot of very strange stuff to it that I I followed that one a little bit for a while in fact there was a guy who was an investigative journalist who was invested who was looking into that one in particular and he was just murdered by some politician in in Las Vegas and uh but oh all that's connected because I just heard about a politician being thrown in jail right now because he's tied to the murder of a journalist yes and that journalist also exposed him like personally and he just recently lost a race like for public office over in Nevada we got that coming up wow yeah so so but he was also investigating the Vegas stuff he was one of the only journalists left he was like

21:08 the main dude he's the man got tired he was a lead for that and there's a lot still to investigate about that because we still don't have answers in fact there's no official account of what happened that day except for what we have from police reports but nobody nobody like in the FBI who was looking into it as mentioned really much at all about it I heard the that they thought it was that there's a woman in there because when they were banging on the door he said just a minute that could be
