Discussion on Military Recruitment Advertisements

Speaker 1

What's going on everybody ? This is the Objective , jerk , and I am said jerk , I know I got some headphones on . I'm trying to look like a professional , whatever . No , I'm just . You know , I do listen to my podcast and I hear like sometimes I get really loud or I don't know I'm trying to make a nice voice to listen to . I don't know so . But I mean I got these .

Speaker 1

I bought these headphones like Marshall Bluetooth headphones for for , you know , listen to music and stuff because I couldn't find . I have like a , you know , some earbuds , like in a case that you charge and everything , and I lost one of the earbuds a while ago , like two months ago or something , and so I would still use it for certain things , but like I can't watch a movie or I can't listen to music with one earbud , you know it just doesn't work for me . So I finally could not . I gave up , cause I can't listen to music with one earbud . You know it just doesn't work for me . So I finally could not . I gave up cause I couldn't find it and I ordered these and then , of course , murphy's law , right before these came in , I found my other earbud , but now I got two . So I'm kind of using these uh along with , cause it has the jack , you can use them , so giving it a shot .

Speaker 1

Anyway , how's everybody doing ? I hope everybody is good . Lefties are losing it like crazy . Trump just keeps winning and you know , things are good . The world is on the right path .

Speaker 1

Anyway , did you guys see the ? I think this might be a long episode , just FYI , but did you guys see the new Army ads ? And did you see the old Army ads ? I remember seeing them a couple years ago . It was just like a cartoon and it was just like two lesbian women raising a kid . It was just really fluffy and it's like you know what . It's okay to maybe have those alongside , you know , have different , um different advertisements or recruitment advertisements to kind of get a little bit of everybody .

Speaker 1

But when all you do is have just straight up , woke gay advertisement stuff , you're gonna get the results that they got . They got a bunch of idiots joining the military and a lot of people in the recruitment numbers were way down . And the thing that sucks too is all these people , all these attention seeking I don't know what the hell they are , but you know joined and then they're going to get out , they're going to try and get , like , you know , ptsd , oh , ptsd , because the way it was treated in basic or some kind of crap , I don't know . Oh , and just people , you know there are people that join the military . You know use , especially now they just abuse it like , take advantage of and make up bullshit so they can get money . I don't know , um , but anyway , totally went off track . So the new commercial has , you know , just the like , the old style um ads where it's just you know men and makeup , makeup and you know in , uh , with the war faces on , you know , and on you know rafts , or in the water , just navy seals and jumping out of play . You know , just the normal kind of whatever .

Speaker 1

But there is , there's one that made me laugh , though . It's just showing a guy just working out and he's doing just you know manly kind of workouts and lifting weights and trying to get strong , and then at the end he says stronger people are harder to kill . It's true , and I just thought that was funny . It was almost like a parody sort of in a way . You know , um , but that's the thing is like the new administration is just straight up trolling everybody . I mean , they're , they're doing . You know what they said they were going to do during the campaign and and ? Um , they're just trolling everybody . It's hilarious , it's funny .

Speaker 1

But I came across this , oh yeah , I just remembered when I Did I fix that I don't know if anybody who has been listening to me remembers like my GarageBand podcast thing would stop like at 29 minutes or something like that . I tried doing a couple long podcasts and it would cut off , something like that . I'm trying to remember Whoa , whoa , what was that popping noise ? Um , see , this is weird for me having the headphones on , I'm , it's kind of throwing me off . Um , but crap , I just realized that I hope I can't remember if I've started a new setting . I think I did , but I don't remember sure , cause I just always do like around 23 . That's kind of my mark . I just , you know , when 23 hits , I'll either kind of finish it up or I'll end it or whatever . But I'm , I have so much time on my podcast now , like I want to make sure I use it up . I'm paying for it , you know . So , so I'm trying to actually take my time a little and do it right .

Speaker 1

Anyway , I kind of wanted to talk about Obama's chef that died , right . I kind of vaguely remember hearing something , but I didn't really think too much about it . But then you don't really hear much , you know . And so I was like what , his chef died , what you know . And then so I kind of just opened up one quick thing and immediately it was like it's just kind of strange , because black dude I mean I guess black people can't swim , they say , you know , that's like a joke , but it's just kind of weird to think that . You know that he

Puzzling Circumstances Surrounding Chef's Drowning

Speaker 1

was paddle boarding .

Speaker 1

I think a lot of black folks would be like , well , what's he doing on that in the first place ? But he was in a pond , he fell off . You have an unnamed person who saw it . He fell in the water and then didn't come up . It's like what ? You're just in a pond , you know , that seems a little strange . So of course it's like you know , people are like , oh my God , I think computer , well , it's like dude . It's like you know . People like , oh my God , I think computer , well , it's like dude , it's weird , you know . And then the I didn't know that the Clintons had a chef and he died drowning too . So it's like , you know , I don't know . There it is again the coincidences . It's just kind of crazy . But so this dude , he was like my age , I guess . Technically maybe he was a little older , but he was like the sous chef at the White House and then when the Obamas left the White House , they took him with them to be their personal chef . So he's been , you know , their chef , and which means he , you know , lives at their estate and everything like that . So , but , um , it's just kind of a weird , weird situation .

Speaker 1

So I was going to read a couple of things , um , and I think I might switch it to where , I don't know I'm trying to . I think about doing , you know , my video version of the podcast , similar to what people on YouTube do , you know where you can see what I'm looking at and reading and stuff like that . But I don't know , trying to be different , I guess . I mean , I'm really not trying to do anything , just but I don't want to . I don't know . But here I am with my headphones on right , let's see what did I . So I do have an article up on the computer that I was thinking about sharing . I don't know , I'm still debating , but let me see . I want to go back to the thing I read last . Oh , where is it at Crap ? Oh , this one right here . So I thought this was . It was kind of a little weird too , so I was just going to read this .

Speaker 1

This is from the New York Post , so that's basically . That's in a nutshell what happened . There's not a lot of information on it , which I guess they don't know . The information so this article is 911 call captures , frantic moments after Obama family chef drowns at Martha's Vineyard Estate . You know some property that's not far from the coast , but you know they sit there and talk about the water levels rising , yet they all live on beachfront property . Okay , no-transcript .

Speaker 1

First of all , it's like what kind of Secret Service agent is going to be frantic for something like that ? You know they're trained to do , give their lives for whoever they're guarding and deal with all these kinds of situations . So he's like , frantically calling 911 to me I think he would be , you know , he'd be in control , and be , you know makes me think like it is bullshit , because he's like okay , I got to act , I got to act like I'm freaking out , you know like . So I mean , that to me is a little weird . But then they might just hired dumbass Secret Service agents , all females or something . No offense against females , but so far what I'm seeing female Secret Service agents . All right , we have a male quote . We have a male drowning in the back of the property now An agent identified , as Dave said , in the first of two emergency calls after Tafari Campbell , 45 .

Speaker 1

So it was a year ago , so no , we were like the same age Toppled off his board and into the Eggerton town , eggertown , edgar , edgar , edgar , edgar town , eggertown , edgar , edgar Town , I don't know great pond in July , vanishing beneath the surface for an entire day . So immediately you're thinking he had to have been drunk or something right , because how are you going to fall off the board into a pond and not be able to get up ? I mean , he wasn't wearing a life preserver , but unless he's wearing like normal clothes , that kind of weigh you down . I'm assuming he was wearing a wetsuit . You know , it's just . It's also a little weird . We have our . So back to the 911 call Quote . We have our rescue swimmers . They're attempting to go out there right now .

Speaker 1

Dave told a dispatcher according to a heavily redacted audio . Heavily redacted why ? Why is it heavily redacted ? Anyway , dave called 911 , dave at 746 pm and relayed that at least one swimmer and another agent were climbing into a boat to reach Campbell .

Speaker 1

I don't think this one says it , but there was an unidentified person who witnessed him falling into . I kind of think it's bullshit . I think he was murdered . They probably drowned him and then they just pushed him out in there . They've been like , hey , uh , yeah , uh , this person saw him . We don't , can't ? You know what I mean ? Like it's just , there's so many weird things . It's like come on , people . I mean I'm not saying like , oh , it's so obvious he was murdered , but it's like you can't , you can't . I mean you know you can't dismiss the possibility , you know you can't dismiss the conspiracy theories because you know it's against Obama or whatever it's . You know , people , it's like dude , just look at everything . It's like it's just a little weird . You know what I mean . So you can't sit there and be like , oh my gosh , so stupid . It's like there's , there's , there's reasons , conspiracy theorists , you know cause they see the crap anyway .

Speaker 1

Uh , the rescuers hadn't witnessed the drowning , but were alerted by another unnamed individual who rushed to their command with the tragic news . It's not clear from the call who the individual was , but previous reporting indicates it was a second female Obama staffer who desperately tried to save her co-worker when he went underwater . But if that's the case , why does it have to be unnamed or whatever you know ? So someone came running up to our back post saying a gentleman it's just a guest of the house , is out there . Wait what ? Saying a gentleman is just a guest of the house , is out there drowning . That doesn't make sense .

Speaker 1

The agent stumbles for several seconds when the dispatcher asks whether the federal team requires an ambulance or water rescue assistance , stating he wasn't sure what was going on in the back of the property . They didn't advise right now . I would say at least an ambulance , okay . The agent then asks whether he could call 911 back on another line for follow-up communications , noting that they're not passing information over the radio right now . So was he on like a landline in a little guard post ? Then he was going to call back on a cell phone . The dispatcher agrees and gives Dave a number before ending the call . A number why not just 911 ? I don't know . Before ending the call with a final request , a basic description of the missing man .

Speaker 1

Dave called dispatchers back just a few minutes later with a noticeably more panicked demeanor . So our rescue swimmers aren't able to locate the gentleman that was reported drowning . Dave said they're out in the water right now but as of now they don't know where he is . The dispatcher a different man than before asked the agent to provide a detailed description of what Campbell had been wearing . Dave , who was calling from the Secret Services command post . So why did he ? He said like call on a different line , I don't know , is heard consulting over radio with team members on the beach before he is able to describe the personal chef . He's wearing all black , he's on a paddle board , he's 40-ish years old , black gentleman , regular build . So he's probably wearing a wetsuit . And we have our rescue swimmers on a boat in the area .

Speaker 1

Now Dave radios to the team two other times to confirm that Campbell's paddleboard was recovered but that he wasn't wearing a life jacket at the time of the tragedy . Now I mean , yeah , it's good to have the life jacket in case . Maybe he fell . I mean maybe he just slipped and he hit his head on the paddleboard and that's why he didn't come up . It is possible . I'm pretty sure it's probably happened before , but I don't know . It just seems a little weird . But I don't know , it just seems a little weird .

Speaker 1

Campbell's body was found the following day in eight feet of water about a hundred feet from the banks of the Obama's estate . His cause of death was determined to be an accidental drowning , with the medical examiner officially ruling submersion in a body of water to be the blame . Details have been sparse since the July accident . Of course gives them time to figure out how to do a cover-up . Massachusetts State Police has requested that the identities of the witnesses and the USS agents who reported to the scene be redacted from public reports . Massachusetts State Police have requested the identities who reported it to be redacted . Why ? Hmm , campbell from Dumfries , virginia . Okay , so what's he talking about ? And of course Obamas weren't there , so it's like you know .

Speaker 1

So I'm reading this and it's like it all seems a little strange , like maybe it wasn't a murder , but maybe it was something that somebody did screw up . So they're trying to cover up . Who knows , but it does seem a little weird , I don't know . But then I found the conspiracy theories that are about . So I'm kind of curious to see what . What they are . You know , and if he was murdered , so he had to have known some kind of something , or maybe . I think I maybe I heard something like maybe he was like Obama , no , cause he was married . I don't know , who knows , we'll see . So , all right , I'm going to . I'm going to check out this other . I'm going to switch the death of Tafari Campbell and the conspiracy theories that followed . So I'm just kind of curious to hear what these are .

Speaker 1

Tragic turn of events Personal chef , former President Obama , accidentally drowned , prompting an avalanche . Of conspiracy commentary . So let's see Tragic death in Edgerton , edgar Town , I guess . Personal chef was paddle boarding . 45 years old Campbell's life was cut short . His body was recovered the following day and upon the summer residence of former president , massachusetts witness described a brief struggle to stay afloat before Campbell was submerged and did not resurface .

Speaker 1

A brief struggle to stay afloat before Campbell was submerged and did not resurface . A brief struggle . So he was trying to get back up . He's panicking , but I mean , it's a pond . If you're paddleboarding , you think he knows how to swim a little bit . It makes me just kind of think that he that's what it's like , okay . It just seems a little weird . It makes me just kind of think that he that's what it's like , okay . It just seems a little weird , like he's inebriated , somehow maybe he was drugged , he was slipped something right goes out paddleboard and then all of a sudden he just kind of like he can't function right , and then he's in the water and he's struggling because he's like what's going on ? I can't , I can't move right , and and then he drowns . You know , um , I know there's yeah , so that's , that's pretty plausible for me . But now it's like , but why ? Okay , what are some reasons why somebody would murder this poor guy ? So let's see .

Speaker 1

Anyway , conspiracy theorists pounced on this tragedy , endeavoring to shroud it in mystery , despite the police confirming the absence of any suspicious evidence to contradict the accidental nature Campbell's death . Conspiracy pundits questioned how a swimmer like Campbell could drown . Statistics show this is common in drowning cases In a pond , though I don't know . Yeah , this is common . Like , if they're like drunk , I think , or whatever , like I think , oh , man , I should , I there's , there was like a , there's some stuff there that you can give people that you know , if you give it to them by themselves , it's not going to kill them and it doesn't really stay in their system . It just , you know , affects them a certain way . So then , if you know someone's going to be in a body of water that you can , because standing on a paddle bar , paddle bar , paddle board is pretty difficult . From what I've never done it , but from what I can tell it's , it's not as easy as you might think . So chances of him falling off are , you know , pretty up there and then you give them something that's going to kind of mess up his equilibrium or whatever and make it to where he can't function properly . Like I said , you know it is completely possible . Let's see

Speculation and Debunking in Conspiracy Theories

Speaker 1

.

Speaker 1

Some have even speculated wildly . Did barack obama personally , personally kill ? Not like , not him personally , but you know he could have been like , yeah , we gotta do it . Who knows , the use of obama's middle name hussein has here reveals the deep-seated bias over these whatever . Okay , oh wait , hold on .

Speaker 1

Conspiracy watch . This is like an anti , this is like an anti-conspiracy one . Huh , let's see . I'm kind of thinking friends , I can't cancel the autopsy . This is debunked , forensics found . Canceled , the autopsy was debunked . What was the motive ? Why would a former blah blah blah behind the infamous Q account initiating the Q1 movement , speculating ? No too much . Was he planning to talk ? But what would he have known , I wonder ? So this is like an anti-conspiracy ? Well , that sucks . That's why I guess conspiracy watch I'm trying to see . Let's see , let's see Police debunk false claims .

Speaker 1

Oh do they , I love it . How like the left hates police and law enforcement until . Oh do they , I love it . How like the left hates police and law enforcement until . Oh no , they debunked it , so it's all good . Alright , let's see . I didn't accuse Obama . Okay , let's see Tafari Camel . Please say nothing . Okay , whatever , I want to just hear what people's , what some of the theories are .

Speaker 1

Come on , there's got to be something . I hate Reddit . I don't like getting on there Debunking claims . I just want to know what they are . I just want to know what people think . No head trauma or suspicious circumstances .

Speaker 1

State police confirmed that the paddleboarder whose body was recovered . So that's the thing . It's like you know they'll do . It just seems kind of like there should have been alcohol in this system . I don't know . I mean , maybe , maybe he had an aneurysm , anything's possible . You would be able to notice that too . I guess it depends on how detailed the what do you call it ? What is it when they carve into people after they've died ? Damn , I can't Every time right , every time I forget a word . Man .

Speaker 1

I thought I kind of started reading that I was like , okay , I'm just going to read this to get a couple ideas On just what some people , some of the conspiracy theories out there , because I don't know , I never really heard much about this . That's what I think is kind of weird . Huh , it is kind of strange , but but I don't know , maybe it's not really . It doesn't seem like there's . It is a strange occurrence , right , especially when you look at Clinton's head , the chef that died drowning , which is just kind of coincidental . But I don't know , it's just weird .

Speaker 1

Do I think the guy was murdered ? No , I don't , but there's a lot of weird stuff going on with it . But , like I said , it could have been . You know , he just had like something happen . Who knows , I don't know . Uh , so people are reaching , but then , since I don't know it doesn't really seem like there'd be .

Speaker 1

I mean , the guy was with them for a long time , maybe . I wonder what like his finances and everything were . I wonder if something was . He was going to blackmail them and give away some information so they had to take him out , maybe , who knows ? I mean , it's not hard to cover up autopsy . There we go . It's not hard to cover up , you know an autopsy or this and that . Or have you know corrupt individuals say , oh , it's debunked or there's nothing weird here . This and that I mean political murders have been going on forever . You know so many people have been murdered due to politics that we have no idea . People have no idea . It's just , oh , the brakes went out . Oh , they happened to . Oh , they had a brain . You know it's .

Speaker 1

Um , yeah , they try and shut people up , so it makes you kind of there's lots of ways to Get rid of somebody . That's why it's . It's kind of scary With Trump . I still think Something's going gonna happen to him . I hope not , but I don't know . We'll see . Well , that was kind of a bust . Um , I don't know .

Speaker 1

I don't know if I'm gonna post this or not . I'm gonna have to listen to it again . Um , cause I'm really monotony . I notice , with my headphones I'm like trying to talk . Maybe I should post it . And Um , cause I'm really monotony . I noticed , with my headphones I'm like trying to talk , maybe I should post it and I would like some feedback from people to see if is it better with me , with the headphones on and my , you know , talking somewhat reserved . You know , maybe it is Cause I noticed , you know , I'm like , oh , you know what I mean , blah , blah .

Speaker 1

Like sometimes I listen to my podcast and you know there's stuff I like or whatever . But then sometimes I'm talking and I don't finish what I'm saying and I just kind of rushed through it and kind of move on . And I'm like I'm saying and I just kind of rush through it and kind of move on and I'm like what the crap ? So people are going to get lost . So I don't know , maybe the headphones I might just try the headphones for a while and just see how that goes . Maybe it's going to kind of help regulate , you know , when I can hear what I'm saying . There's no delay , but but I can hear it . So but it does kind of help .

Chef's Background and Future Plans

Speaker 1

I don't know , like just maintain some sort of composure and not just ramble . You know what I mean . So I don't know , I'm going to post it , I am Screw it . I would like some feedback and then I'm just going to continue doing the headphones for a little while and see how that goes . But anyway , obama's chef did you know about him ? What do you think that's about it ? Thanks for hanging out . God bless , and I will see you guys , next time all right , bye .
