Jan 14

📄 Episode Overview

In Episode #261 of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar opens with Kevin O’Leary’s (Mr. Wonderful) fiery takedown of Gavin Newsom in the wake of California’s latest wildfires. From crumbling leadership to water pressure failures, Ray weaves together Shark Tank, Southern California disasters, forgotten cybertruck bombers, false flag suspicions, and a wild breakdown of the Jimmy Carter funeral optics. Also: Melania Trump is declared the boss of all first ladies.

🧠 Key Takeaways

• Kevin O’Leary slams California’s leadership and wildfire mismanagement—comparing Newsom to Trudeau.
• Fire hydrant failures, crime waves, and media distractions show how quickly news cycles shift.
• The Vegas Cybertruck bomber and New Orleans explosion stories were memory-holed within days.
• Ray reflects on his interview with former Captain Josephine Gilbo, including her view on the infamous bomber email.
• False flag tactics may include floating a narrative, measuring reactions, and then shifting focus when it backfires.
• Trump re-posted a brutal Jeffrey Sachs clip calling out Netanyahu—who now isn’t attending his inauguration.
• At Jimmy Carter’s funeral, body language among living presidents and first ladies told a powerful story. • Melania Trump stole the show: no small talk, no fake smiles, just icy elegance and Eastern European stoicism.
