Top NFL star addresses false allegations he insinuated Kimmel is a pedo

Future Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers responded to his ongoing beef with MSM comedian Jimmy Kimmel during Tuesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show.

Rodgers addressed several comments Kimmel made during Monday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live! where the establishment shill resorted to inaccurate ad hominem attacks against Rodgers, mostly focusing on the football star’s allegedly low IQ.

Kimmel said Rodgers is a “hamster-brained man” and trashed his road from junior college to attending the University of California.

The late-night host’s comments come as Rodgers recently noted Kimmel “is really hoping” a list of Jeffrey Epstein associates isn’t released.

Both Kimmel and many media outlets falsely stated Rodgers insinuated the comedian is on the deceased pedophile’s infamous “client list.”

However, Rodgers never said Kimmel was on a list and only pointed out he was previously dismissive of the list’s existence, which would mean he’ll have egg on his face once it drops.

The Kimmel and Rodgers beef exploded online after the comedian threatened to “sue” the New York Jets superstar.

In a much-anticipated interview, Rodgers on Tuesday told McAfee’s audience the whole spat with Kimmel started when the comic threw a random jab about Rodgers being ‘immunized’ naturally during the Covid pandemic.

“He [Kimmel] also made a lot of comments about unvaccinated people and how they shouldn’t be given treatment or hospital beds if they got sick from Covid,” Rodgers added.

The four-time NFL MVP said Kimmel also defamed safe and effective treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and gave a platform to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who he called one of the top spreaders of misinformation of the Covid era.

Rodgers also suggested that in retrospect Kimmel “took an L” for promoting Covid shots as they have now been proven to be a total failure.

Speaking about the recent spat surrounding Epstein, Rodgers explained there was excitement about potential corruption being exposed via court documents.

Last year, Rodgers simply mentioned a potential Epstein “list” of associates existed and Kimmel decided to call him “a concussed wacko.”

“Fast forward to this last week and I said, ‘A lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping this doesn’t come out.’ End quote,” the football star stated.

He continued, “I was referring to if there’s a list with names on it, not the court accusations, then it would be the second time… a pea-brained, MAGA, wacko, conspiracy theorist would be right twice.”

“I totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be, so for him to be upset about that I get it,” Rodgers added. “Did you watch the quote? I’m not stupid enough, even though you think I’m an idiot, I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that without concrete evidence. That’s ridiculous. I’m glad you’re not on the list because those who are on the list, I think we could agree on this, at minimum there should be an inquiry and at maximum there should be an investigation.”

The former Green Bay Packer called on Kimmel to “give the same energy if a list comes out” as he gave “to other subjects” such as pushing Covid jabs and attacking those with dissenting views.

“Read exactly what I said,” Rodgers challenged his detractors. “This is the gameplan of the media and this is what they do. They try and cancel, and it’s not just me, look at all the different people who were censored from the internet, especially during Covid. The canceling that went on, the censorship, using the government to try and censor people – that happened – and if that doesn’t work they go to name calling. They [names] don’t stick.”

Continuing, the quarterback said, “I’m not a MAGA. I’ve never had an association with that movement. And, it’s okay if you are. Conspiracy theorist? That’s fine, because if you look at the track records of conspiracy theorists over the last few years they’ve been right about a lot of things. Anti-semite? That’s their gameplan. They use these words to attack people.”

Regarding his statement that he’d “pop a bottle” of liquor if an Epstein list went public, Rodgers said, “I still haven’t popped a bottle because no list has come out and I’m glad Jimmy’s not on a list, I really am. I don’t think he’s the ‘p’ word.”

McAfee caught a lot of heat from leftists online, establishment media talking heads and even ESPN executives for having Rodgers on his show and not pushing back on his remarks about Kimmel.

Due to the calls for McAfee to “check” Rodgers, the show host asked Rodgers to elaborate on his claim that Dr. Fauci spread large amounts of misinformation during the pandemic. 

“First of all, there are dozens of studies published in reputable journals that talk about a variety of subjects including the efficacy of masking, efficacy of lockdowns, efficacy of a number of different medicines, repurposed medicines, anti-viral, anti-malarial medicines, stuff that was used all over the world,” Rodgers quickly answered.

He went on, “In order for the vaccines to get emergency use authorization, EUA – this is what people don’t understand – it had to be that there was zero early treatments that worked against Covid. So, what did Dr. Fauci say? ‘There was nothing, there was nothing they could do.’ This was the protocol – somebody gets sick, send them home until they get horrible symptoms and then when they come back put them on Remdesivir, which is $3,000 per dose, and a ventilator. The statistics are staggering about people who went on ventilators, especially the elderly.” 

Rodgers continued, explaining he reads findings from several people such as top epidemiologists and other experts to accumulate data and form his own opinions.

“Yes, I believe he (Fauci) had a financial incentive to not push ivermectin and HCQ and monoclonal antibodies and zinc and vitamin D, and vitamin C. All stuff that was used all over the world…” he told the ESPN viewers.

Mentioning Africa, Rodgers noted the whole continent had very low Covid death numbers despite being comprised of third-world nations because most citizens regularly take anti-malarial drugs.

Anti-malarial drugs have been shown to be effective in fighting Covid, but the mRNA jabs wouldn’t have been passed under the EUA if the medical establishment acknowledged those drugs worked.

Trying to wrap up his segment of venting, Rodgers said people ask him why he’s still talking about Covid issues.

He answered, “They locked everybody up forever. It was supposed to be a couple of weeks right? Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed and never opened again. Dozens of people I know in their 30s who poured everything into these small businesses and restaurants and bars and never opened again. So, they lost everything. The wealth gap got even bigger from the haves and have-nots.”

“They lied to us over and over, vilified early treatments, censored legitimate doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough, like Dr. Pierre Kory, like Dr. Robert Malone who was allegedly there at the beginning of the mRNA technology,” he railed. “The Alex Berenson’s of the world, the Weinstein’s of the world who were writing and talking about this. Bret Weinstein.”

“They were arresting people surfing in California,” he added. “They closed the beaches when 60% or more of the country is vitamin D deficient. And you know vitamin D does well against the common cold as does vitamin C, as does zinc as does a number of home remedies we have. But, no, ‘Stay inside, wait for this vaccine which is 100% safe and effective’ they told us. So, my point is they lied to us many times over, they locked us up, closed our businesses, increased mental health issues exponentially, the rates of suicide went way up, they vilified us…”

The quarterback pointed out Los Angeles County just reinstated a mask mandate and asked, “I mean how many studies have we seen now from all over the world that show the lack of efficacy of masks?”

For the naysayers and haters nagging about Rodgers being given a platform, he suggested Americans have tough conversations and debates on the appropriate shows and programs in order to collectively find the truth.

Explaining why he’s so invested in the Covid debate, Rodgers noted, “I was vilified, my character was attacked, my reputation was attacked, my sponsors were attacked, I received death threats.”

Regarding those who claim Rodgers insinuated Kimmel is a pedophile, he clarified:

“I’m not calling him one and neither should you, so it’s not backing me up or making me feel good if you’re doing that. Let me make it crystal clear. I don’t take any fucking excitement or joy out of any people doing that, so don’t do that in my name and don’t do that at all. Those are serious accusations meant for people who are on the list. There was some names that came out recently from a deposition from 2005, but there’s still flight logs and a lot of other things that are gonna come out and this corruption goes deep… I’m not calling him one and no one should. Don’t do it in my name, that’s not cool I’m not about that and I have no love for anybody doing any of that shit.” 

A sports player intellectually dominating a mainstream establishment darling is exactly why the elitists in charge of most network television shows do not want to air real conversations like McAfee and Rodgers had in front of millions of viewers.

Under degrowth policy, resources directed by state bureaucrats, PhDs, or machine learning algorithms would be subject not to the calculation of market profits and loss, but to the whims and subjective evaluations of whoever plans the economy.

December saw a resurgence of “degrowth” advocates in the media, with two articles published by Nature garnering special attention on X (formerly Twitter).

The fallacies underlying the degrowth movement are not new in economics, but it’s worth revisiting them and their important connections to monetary policy in the age of central banking.

Proponents of degrowth will usually argue the following:

“Wealthy economies should abandon growth of gross domestic product (GDP) as a goal, scale down destructive and unnecessary forms of production to reduce energy and material use, and focus economic activity around securing human needs and well-being. This approach, which has gained traction in recent years, can enable rapid decarbonization and stop ecological breakdown while improving social outcomes.” 

Now, this argument does have a kernel of truth; while it is wrong to completely throw out GDP as a useful measure of economic progress, it is equally wrong to focus on it exclusively. GDP is an imperfect metric. It counts wasteful government social programs, destructive military spending, and spending on natural disaster recovery as contributors to economic growth. It also severely underestimates growth in home production and black or gray markets that evade the calculation of government statisticians. 

This premise betrays perhaps the most central error at the heart of degrowth and central planning in general: both assume that the optimal use for scarce labor and capital are either obvious or that they can be ascertained with big data or burgeoning artificial intelligence technology.

This, as the Austrian School emphasizes, is not the case. Instead, the market is a means of discovering the optimal use of resources. This discovery takes place through the action of entrepreneurial agents, who make judgements about the uncertain future value of resources under their command and are rewarded with profits if they direct said resources to more highly-valued uses. 

Under degrowth policy, resources directed by state bureaucrats, PhDs, or machine learning algorithms would be subject not to the calculation of market profits and loss, but to the whims and subjective evaluations of whoever plans the economy. 

Degrowthers also misunderstand monetary policy and its role in the business cycle. Hickel and his coauthors, for example, claim that recession “is chaotic and socially destabilizing and occurs when growth-dependent economies fail to grow.” According to degrowthers, recessions are the result of “growth-dependencies,” which include the fiduciary duty of company executives, the unreliable funding of pensions and social programs, and the ease of capital movement across borders (oh, the horror!).

The economist Ludwig von Mises, a key figure in the Austrian School, offers an alternative to this perspective with the Austrian Business Cycle Theory. In this theory, the business cycle (i.e. the cycle of economic expansion and recession) is caused by credit expansion at the hands of central bankers, not growth dependencies. Central banks, by artificially lowering the interest rate, induce long-term projects to be undertaken that would not be started at the market rate of interest. When, as is arguably happening now, the interest rate returns to or approaches the natural market rate of interest, the unprofitability of these mistaken projects rears its head and causes them to fail. What follows is the recession, or “bust,” a period of slower or shrinking economic activity, during which the resources previously devoted to failed projects are reallocated to profitable ones.

In the Austrian perspective, the bust, while unpleasant, is the necessary correction mechanism that remedies the mistakes induced by expansionary monetary policy. Mises explains:

The return to monetary stability does not generate a crisis. It only brings to light the malinvestments and other mistakes that were made under the hallucination of the illusory prosperity created by the easy money. People become aware of the faults committed and, no longer blinded by the phantom of cheap credit, begin to readjust their activities to the real state of the supply of material factors of production. It is this — certainly painful, but unavoidable — adjustment that constitutes the depression.”

Contrary to the degrowther perspective, where recessions are an inherent feature of growth-focused market capitalism, Mises shows us that recessions are the means by which markets cleanse themselves of mistaken and wasteful resource allocations, allocations that would not have occurred in the absence of central banking and that degrowth advocates themselves may oppose.

In their focus on GDP and private “growth-dependencies,” degrowthers miss what may be the central culprit in many of the United States’ economic ills: the Federal Reserve. Were it not for the Fed’s inflationary policy, recessions would be milder and less common, and the centrality of the finance sector, which Hickel and company lament, would be diminished.

If degrowth advocates want to improve the functioning of market economies, they should join libertarians and conservatives in demanding a stable currency that is subject to market forces, not political interests.

BREAKING: UN Planning New Pandemic To Establish Planetary Dictatorship

Judge claimed Epps had been victimized, sentenced him to 1-year probation, $500 restitution, and 100 hours of community service.

J6 provocateur and suspected federal informant Ray Epps was fined and sentenced Tuesday to probation and community service, curiously avoiding any jail time despite being caught on film repeatedly encouraging protesters to enter the US Capitol.

On Tuesday, Federal District Court Judge James E. Boasberg granted leniency for Epps who he claimed had been victimized by other protesters, sentencing him to one year of probation, a $500 fine, and 100 hours of community service.

“Trust in elected officials and Fox News led to my gullibility in believing the election was stolen,” Epps reportedly told the judge, according to the New York Times. “What I witnessed was rage and vulgarity on a level I’ve never seen before, and it was generated by people like me, not the F.B.I. or antifa.”

Judge Boasberg told Epps, “While many defendants have been vilified in a way unique to Jan. 6, you seem to be the first to have suffered for what you didn’t do.”

The extremely light sentence was criticized on social media, with many pointing out Epps, who was evidently allowed to phone into his hearing, was one of the only provocateurs who admitted he “orchestrated” acts that day.

“Ray Epps gets probation, a $500 fine and is able to phone into his sentencing?!? Are you fricken kidding me?” asked former President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

“Yea guys, he totally wasn’t put there to incite things by the feds. Our country is screwed… the traitors in charge aren’t even pretending anymore,” Don Jr. added.

“Ray Epps, the man who directed people to go into the Capitol and privately claimed credit for orchestrating the Capitol breach, gets one year probation,” noted Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), adding, “Nothing to see here!”

“While many J6 protesters are rotting in jail for non-violent crimes, Epps escapes a prison term entirely,” noted commentator Greg Price.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio for instance received a 22-year sentence over J6 charges, despite not being at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Here are several video clips of Epps on Jan. 5 inciting people to breach the Capitol, prompting some in the crowd to call him a “fed.”

Here’s Epps claiming the “Capitol is our enemy” while arguing with people to break into the Capitol:

Here’s Epps helping coordinate the initial breach of the Capitol barricades and participating in clashes with police at the Capitol steps:

Despite evidence of Epps encouraging protesters, leftist mainstream media, including CBS’s 60 Minutes and the New York Times, have bent over backwards to defend Epps against MAGA J6 Truthers who assert federal informants instigated the event.

Indeed, when compared to other J6 defendants who were imprisoned for little more than walking through Capitol doors held open by Capitol Police officers, Epps’ sweetheart deal stinks to high heaven, and does little to quell concerns he was a federal informant tasked with instigating events that day.

Another round of rate cuts implies a slowing economy, weaker property performance, and a reinflation of the largest asset bubble we’ve ever seen, ultimately leading to a higher Consumer Price Index down the road, which will compel the Fed to make yet more drastic rate increases and will put gamblers in the apartment market still deeper underwater.

The Federal Reserve’s inflation of the money supply and interest rate manipulation distort capital markets through, among other things, the creation of asset bubbles.

As the cost of borrowing decreases and cheap money floods an economy, speculation in capital markets increases, leading to prices unmoored from fundamentals.

Underlying these asset bubbles is a certain investor psychology—one based on expectations, encouraged by Fed actions over the last thirty-five years—that the Fed will always step in with easy money when asset prices threaten to decline.

Overleveraged speculators caught out by rising interest rates and risky loans are experiencing significant distress. Meanwhile, the apartment market continues to demonstrate dangerously speculative behavior.

Higher Risk, Lower Return

A recent manifestation of Fed-induced speculation in the apartment market is widespread negative leverage, a condition that occurs when buyers of income-producing properties earn a rate of return lower than the interest rate on their loan. This dynamic means that the loan used to acquire the property is dragging down, rather than boosting, the profitability of the investment. At its worst, negative leverage leads to an inability to service debt and subsequently to foreclosure, wiping out investor capital.

Negative leverage is not always unacceptable. There may be instances where the initial return on an investment is temporarily below the cost of debt for known, isolated reasons. Those factors can resolve quickly to put the investor back in the black. However, the negative leverage seen in the apartment market today is systemic and ubiquitous.

According to a Wall Street Journal article written in May 2022, “negative leverage hasn’t been this widespread since the subprime crisis when defaults on apartment-building debt soared.”

Interest rates have increased since that article was written, exacerbating conditions further.

To justify continued acquisitions despite this phenomenon, apartment speculators will likely point to increasing rents as their way to bridge the gap and fix negative leverage within a short time frame. However, rents have already increased substantially in recent years, and the average American renter is struggling to keep up. Moreover, apartment expenses—led by insurance—are increasing at a more rapid pace than rents, further depressing net operating income and the ability to service debt.

Figure 1: United States median rent (2017–present)

Source: Data from “Data and Rent Estimates,” Apartment List, accessed January 3, 2024, https://www.apartmentlist.com/research/category/data-rent-estimates.

Solutio Ex Civitate

The other justification for continued negative leverage is, of course, the expectation of a new round of interest rate cuts from the Fed. Speculators anticipating this outcome expect to keep burning their cash until rates drop substantially, then refinancing their loans at those lower rates. However, another round of rate cuts implies a slowing economy, weaker property performance, and a reinflation of the largest asset bubble we’ve ever seen, ultimately leading to a higher Consumer Price Index down the road, which will compel the Fed to make yet more drastic rate increases and will put gamblers in the apartment market still deeper underwater.

Stein’s law states that if something can’t go on forever, it will eventually stop. With over $1.8 trillion in outstanding mortgage debt backed by apartments, systemic negative leverage is a potentially lethal hazard that can’t go on forever. In the meantime, as markets are unable to function freely and correct excesses through rational investor behavior, speculation runs amok.

“Just like they told JFK. ‘You know what you should do? You should take a convertible!'”

A hot mic caught a pair of journalists joking about former President Donald Trump’s assassination on Tuesday.

While waiting for Trump to arrive at the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington D.C., the journalists were ghoulishly joking about having a “good shot” at the 45th president when he arrived — especially if he drove up in a convertible like President John F. Kennedy did when he was shot in the head in 1963.

“You know what the worst part is? Even if he has his window open and he’s hanging out of it, he will be on the other side of the street,” the first journalist quipped.

“I mean, if he’s driving, we’ve got a good shot!,” the second journalist joked.

First Journalist: Yeah, if he’s driving with the front window open?

Second Journalist: Yeah, or if it’s a convertible?

First Journalist: Yeah. I wasn’t thinking about that.

Second Journalist: Yeah. Like if he just pulls up–

First Journalist: Like JFK?

Second Journalist: Hahahaha

First Journalist: Maybe someone, just like they told JFK. You know what you should do? You should take a convertible! It’s so nice out!

Trump arrived at the D.C. Court of Appeals to hear the opening oral arguments in his appeal against special counsel Jack Smith’s efforts to prosecute him over Jan. 6th.

The media and Democrats have escalated their rhetoric against Trump in recent months as Democrats’ lawfare tactics against him have appeared to politically backfire.

For example, the Washington Post in November published an article featuring an illustration of Roman leader Julius Caesar, who was assassinated by a group of senators in 44 B.C., bursting out of Trump’s head.

The article, titled “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending“, warned Democrats that Trump becoming the GOP nominee is all but certain which could lead to him rising to power like Hitler did in Germany.

“They’re obviously green-lighting assassination,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) observed.

Journalist Tucker Carlson likewise expressed his concern over assassination attempts against Trump, citing the trajectory of the establishment’s efforts to stop Trump from retaking the White House in 2024.

“I mean, just chart it out,” he told former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino in December. “In the case of Trump, they started with protests. They moved to impeachment. Now they’re at indictment. None of it has worked. What’s next? What could possibly be next?”

“If you felt and you really believed, and a lot of them do, that the worst thing that could happen to the country and more specifically to you in the professional class is to have Donald Trump as president, and everything you have tried has failed, and they have been accelerating steps, protests, impeachment, indictment,” he explained. “How many more arrows do you have in your quiver? And what’s the next one?”

“And of course, it’s assassination,” Carlson added. “And assassination happens around the world.”

Importation of hordes of migrants under guise of humanitarianism nothing short of election meddling.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is calling attention to immensely problematic issues in the US electoral system, sounding the alarm on the insanity in allowing people to vote without identification and through the mail.

Over the past few months, Musk has been highlighting the hordes of illegal immigrants invading the US via the southern border, but in recent days he’s been underscoring how some US states actually allow people to vote without having to show ID, making the electoral system ripe for manipulation.

“In the USA, you don’t need government issued ID to vote and you can mail in your ballot. This is insane,” the X platform owner noted on Tuesday.

The observation was followed up by Musk sharing footage of a stunning exchange in which former Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) informed Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) in 2022 that several states already allow illegals to vote.

“The New York City Council voted in December to allow this,” Johnson told Nadler in the clip. “It begins January 9, 2023. Cities in Vermont and Maryland already allow this, and similar measures are under consideration in Illinois, Maine, and Massachusetts right now.”

“They already are doing this in New York City, largest city in America, and this is the plan of our friends on this side to turn all the illegals into voters. That’s it, folks,” Rep. Johnson continued.

Musk on Tuesday further emphasized California and Arizona don’t require proof of citizenship to vote.

For years, Infowars and other conservative news outlets have been warning about Democrats allowing illegal immigrants to enter the country and protecting their “right to vote” in attempts to shift voter demographics and turn states blue.

Alex Jones also hammered this point during his debate over the weekend with far-left activists Destiny and the Krassenstein brothers.

All the while, the Biden regime has been bending over backwards to keep the border open.

Biden himself infamously called for illegals to “surge the border” under his presidency during a 2020 Democrat presidential debate.

An illegal alien at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport recently filmed by O’Keefe Media Group admitted not only did he intend to vote in the U.S. election, but that he would vote for Biden because “he’s given us an opportunity.”

Indeed, the importation of hordes of migrants in order to change voter demographics under the guise of humanitarianism is nothing short of election meddling and disenfranchises millions of American voters. If the American people don’t stand up soon, their voices will eventually be dissolved and the country will fully descend into a third-world communist hellhole.
