[00:00.000 --> 00:05.640]  Just a few days ago, a US Navy commander pleaded guilty to receiving a quarter of a million
[00:05.640 --> 00:11.760]  dollars in prostitution services in exchange for assisting a foreign defense contractor
[00:11.760 --> 00:16.040]  to defraud the Navy of $35 million.
[00:16.040 --> 00:26.440]  But there's something more interesting, more illuminating about this case.
[00:26.440 --> 00:37.760]  The Dr. Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion.
[00:37.760 --> 00:43.680]  The guilty plea by US Navy Commander Stephen Shedd marks just one US Naval officer that's
[00:43.680 --> 00:48.480]  been caught up in the investigation known as the Fat Leonard scandal.
[00:48.480 --> 00:54.880]  The first inklings that something was amiss were first seen in 2006 and a formal investigation
[00:54.880 --> 00:58.760]  was opened in 2010.
[00:58.760 --> 01:06.720]  And here in 2022, 12 years later, this investigation is still finding people who have done wrong
[01:06.720 --> 01:11.920]  in terms of the scandal, the Fat Leonard scandal, and a number of defendants are going to trial
[01:11.920 --> 01:17.400]  presumably this year, 12 years after the investigation opened.
[01:17.400 --> 01:18.760]  So what's my point?
[01:18.760 --> 01:23.600]  The reason I do these presentations is to provide fact-based information for the people
[01:23.600 --> 01:29.000]  who follow me so that they can make more or better sense of the things they see going
[01:29.000 --> 01:30.720]  on in society.
[01:30.720 --> 01:35.280]  You may recall the Mueller investigation, which was looking at possible collusion between
[01:35.280 --> 01:38.000]  Russia and the Trump campaign.
[01:38.000 --> 01:44.560]  That investigation lasted 22 months, but within just several months of kicking off, Trump
[01:44.560 --> 01:49.320]  supporters were saying things like, you've had more than enough time to develop a case
[01:49.320 --> 01:51.420]  to present any evidence that exists.
[01:51.420 --> 01:55.100]  So with just having done like five months or seven months or nine months, you need to
[01:55.100 --> 01:58.820]  put up or shut up and shut this investigation down.
[01:58.820 --> 02:06.100]  However, as you can see from the Fat Leonard scandal, federal investigations don't work
[02:06.100 --> 02:07.940]  that way.
[02:07.940 --> 02:14.860]  While admittedly the Fat Leonard scandal running 12 years is highly unusual, the average federal
[02:14.860 --> 02:21.460]  investigation takes 30 months, and Robert Mueller's investigation took 22 months.
[02:21.460 --> 02:25.220]  In other words, he entered considerably sooner than the average federal investigation.
[02:25.220 --> 02:27.740]  Now, to be clear, this is not about Donald Trump.
[02:27.740 --> 02:29.820]  This is not about Robert Mueller or anything like that.
[02:29.820 --> 02:34.740]  It's about setting expectations when the federal government opens an investigation.
[02:34.740 --> 02:39.500]  And keep in mind, if someone like Mueller had been investigating a Democrat, Democrats
[02:39.500 --> 02:42.780]  would have said the same thing, three months in, five months in, seven months in, you've
[02:42.780 --> 02:47.940]  had more than enough time to either come up with an indictment or shut it down.
[02:47.940 --> 02:48.940]  Why would they say that?
[02:48.940 --> 02:51.500]  Whether it's Republican or Democrat, why would they say that?
[02:51.500 --> 02:56.640]  Because they're ignorant, not stupid, ignorant of how federal investigations work.
[02:56.640 --> 03:01.420]  And as I said, the purpose for these presentations is to better arm the people who follow me
[03:01.420 --> 03:06.260]  with information so they can see things clearly for what they are because they understand
[03:06.260 --> 03:08.540]  how things work.
[03:08.540 --> 03:14.360]  And one of the, I don't know what I would call it, shortcomings that I see in the United
[03:14.360 --> 03:22.180]  States is that the public, the vast majority of people, they have an opinion.
[03:22.180 --> 03:29.000]  Unfortunately, it seems to have become acceptable in the United States to have an opinion of
[03:29.000 --> 03:34.920]  how this or that should go without understanding how that particular thing, in this case we're
[03:34.920 --> 03:39.640]  talking about federal investigations, about how those things actually work.
[03:39.640 --> 03:41.440]  And personally, I think that's detrimental to the country.
[03:41.440 --> 03:49.440]  I think when it becomes acceptable for people to have opinions based on ignorance and then
[03:49.440 --> 03:54.680]  argue viciously in defense of their opinion to claim that they're right and other people
[03:54.680 --> 04:00.080]  are wrong and they don't know what the hell they're talking about, how is that possibly
[04:00.080 --> 04:02.680]  healthy or beneficial for our country?
[04:02.680 --> 04:10.080]  In my opinion, opinions should be based on having some, at least, rudimentary knowledge
[04:10.080 --> 04:11.720]  of how things work.
[04:11.720 --> 04:15.480]  And that's the reason I do the presentations that I've been doing for years now and this
[04:15.480 --> 04:17.440]  is just another example of that.
[04:17.440 --> 04:21.780]  You are better prepared to hold an opinion and to speak intelligently if you understand
[04:21.780 --> 04:25.840]  at least the rudimentary outlines of how certain things work.
[04:25.840 --> 04:29.920]  Not to tell you anything you don't already know, the U.S. is incredibly polarized right
[04:29.920 --> 04:30.920]  now.
[04:31.400 --> 04:35.800]  We've got the midterm election is just around the corner, then we're going to have the 2024
[04:35.800 --> 04:36.800]  presidential election.
[04:36.800 --> 04:43.040]  I think the odds are pretty good that some other investigation is going to open that
[04:43.040 --> 04:47.080]  this political party or that political party, people within those parties, are going to
[04:47.080 --> 04:49.880]  perceive our partisan investigations.
[04:49.880 --> 04:51.880]  They are partisan in their very nature.
[04:51.880 --> 04:58.160]  And whether or not that belief that it's driven by partisanship, whether or not that's true
[04:58.240 --> 05:02.640]  Absent understanding how federal investigations work, we're going to hear the same blathering
[05:02.640 --> 05:06.360]  again two months in, six months in, eight months in, oh you've had more than enough
[05:06.360 --> 05:08.720]  time shut it down.
[05:08.720 --> 05:11.480]  Out of ignorance, I live in this country.
[05:11.480 --> 05:19.640]  So I find it disturbing and I guess in a way disappointing that so many Americans have these
[05:19.640 --> 05:28.920]  opinions they so strongly hold on a particular subject without understanding anything about
[05:28.920 --> 05:30.040]  the subject.
[05:30.040 --> 05:33.280]  I think we can do better.
[05:33.280 --> 05:39.800]  And when it comes to knowing how things work, I want to draw your attention to body science
[05:39.800 --> 05:42.280]  and income tax shattering the mess.
[05:42.280 --> 05:47.880]  You've been lied to for decades in the case of body science about human physiology with
[05:47.880 --> 05:52.080]  a particular emphasis on nutritional physiology and concerning income tax shattering the mess
[05:52.080 --> 05:56.360]  you've been lied to by the establishment for decades about who Congress has imposed the
[05:56.360 --> 05:57.520]  income tax on.
[05:57.520 --> 06:03.620]  So if you are somebody who agrees with me that your life and your opinions and how we
[06:03.620 --> 06:10.320]  function in a free country is served best by being well informed, these are two books
[06:10.320 --> 06:12.320]  I want to encourage you to grab.
[06:12.320 --> 06:17.840]  Go out to DrReality.News, get yourself a copy of body science and you will be blown away.
[06:17.840 --> 06:22.320]  All the things that you've been told for say 30 or 40 or 50 years concerning nutritional
[06:22.320 --> 06:27.400]  physiology, I actually have a chapter where I go through many of the things that the establishment
[06:27.400 --> 06:33.600]  has put out over those years that are roundly accepted as absolute scientific fact and I
[06:33.600 --> 06:38.560]  explain that they're not and I tell the reader they have to at least put those beliefs on
[06:38.560 --> 06:45.280]  hold as they read forward in the book so that when they see the evidence they don't immediately
[06:45.280 --> 06:49.440]  push back mentally and emotionally and that can't be true because I've always believed
[06:49.440 --> 06:53.720]  this for 30 years so that science can't be true.
[06:53.720 --> 06:58.400]  That's how embedded these falsehoods are so if you read body science you're going to be
[06:58.400 --> 07:02.800]  blown away and you're going to be healthier and happier and live longer for having read
[07:02.800 --> 07:03.800]  body science.
[07:03.800 --> 07:05.880]  Same thing with income tax shattering the mess.
[07:05.880 --> 07:07.320]  We all know the story.
[07:07.320 --> 07:12.000]  Everybody the societal narrative is that if you go out and you earn some money you owe
[07:12.000 --> 07:18.600]  some to the IRS and that's absolute poppycock, nonsense and an income tax shattering the
[07:18.600 --> 07:23.960]  mess in 400 pages laid out very clearly and linearly so that everybody can make sense
[07:23.960 --> 07:24.960]  of it.
[07:24.960 --> 07:27.840]  I go all the way back from 1895 forward and again when I say things like that I go back
[07:27.840 --> 07:28.840]  to 1895.
[07:28.840 --> 07:33.600]  I suspect some people are like oh jeez but believe me people have referred to it as a
[07:33.600 --> 07:37.760]  page turner because it's really like a mystery.
[07:37.760 --> 07:39.520]  It's like a whodunit.
[07:39.520 --> 07:43.520]  So you start with this big crime, the largest financial crime in the history of the world
[07:43.520 --> 07:47.360]  which is the false narrative that if you make some money in the United States you owe some
[07:47.360 --> 07:54.160]  to the federal government and then we start breaking down how the scam has been perpetrated
[07:54.160 --> 07:57.140]  and what the law really says.
[07:57.140 --> 08:02.160]  This goes back to the theme of this video which is we're so much of a stronger better
[08:02.160 --> 08:07.300]  country if people actually know how things really work and in addition to that by purchasing
[08:07.300 --> 08:10.240]  a copy of Body Science for Income Tax Shattering the Mess or a couple of the handbooks that
[08:10.240 --> 08:15.380]  are on the Dr. Reality site you help me to continue to be here for you with these fact
[08:15.380 --> 08:16.380]  based presentations.
[08:16.380 --> 08:24.380]  Thank you.
