1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,940
Welcome to Nice Ashes, I'm Nate.

2
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:09,940
And I'm Mike.

3
00:00:09,940 --> 00:00:11,680
What are we smoking today, Nate?

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,320
We are smoking the Gurkha Lagrand, also known as the Gurkha Crest.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,640
Yes, and I'm excited for this one.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,640
I haven't smoked it before.

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,880
Mike told me before the episode that he's excited for this one.

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,240
I don't know if he'll tell you that on the episode or not, but he told me.

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,520
All right, well, I'm lit.

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,120
I am as well.

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,120
Interesting.

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,920
It's almost like we planned to smoke a cigar together on a podcast.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,920
I know, right?

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,920
It's weird.

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:49,720
It's a long cigar and very medium wrapper and I think very, very good airflow for this

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,080
one for me.

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,660
Yeah, mine's moderate.

18
00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:53,660
Really easy.

19
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:54,660
Yeah.

20
00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:56,360
First couple of calls taste pretty good.

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,800
Yeah, it's got good flavor.

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,960
Like I say, I'm excited.

23
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,040
I haven't had this particular cigar before.

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,920
I have had the one that we're going to have next, but I said earlier.

25
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,440
You haven't had this one?

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,840
Had not had this one, no.

27
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,840
Me either.

28
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,320
I'm stoked.

29
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,200
So this is going to be what we consider to Mike knows episode, kind of.

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:24,120
But it's more of a discussion because as any listener knows, we record this in the past,

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,120
right?

32
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,960
We are a distance behind you.

33
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:36,120
So within the last couple of days, a man got charged for a murder in New York.

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,040
Jordan Neely was strangled on a train.

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,480
Are you aware of this, Nate?

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,600
I heard about the subway strangler person, but I did not look into it.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,600
Okay.

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,800
So there's a Marine who's 24 named Daniel Penny that was charged with manslaughter.

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,120
The problem, there's several problems that are going on.

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,400
But the biggest problem is that there was three people involved with the incident other

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480
than the victim, and they didn't charge the other two people.

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960
They just charged the one guy.

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,160
So the way they charged it, it's going to make a big trial, but even if they convict,

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,840
it's going to get overturned because they didn't charge everybody involved.

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,440
You know what I mean?

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,440
Yeah.

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,080
But there's a huge media circus around it.

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,080
The mayor is getting involved and Ocasio-Cortez is getting involved.

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,040
They're trying to make it to be a racial crime.

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,160
And there's mixed evidence about what happened, and I don't know what happened.

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Nobody does.

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,920
They're not releasing the video of the whole incident.

53
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,360
So I'm withholding judgment on whether or not it was a crime or not.

54
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,520
But that's not really what I want to talk about.

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:53,480
The reaction of the politicians to try to make it into a circus and whip up their people

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:03:01,480
made me really worried and bothered because it happens all the time in our society.

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,440
It reminds me of the Bud Light thing and the Miller Light thing that are going on right

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,440
now.

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,040
And I'm sure that people in the future will remember.

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,880
And so I did a little bit of research because I'm not sure if you are aware of this.

61
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,880
I'm going to look it up.

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:24,080
Well, I have all these notes, of course, but Berkshire Hathaway, as I always do.

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Let's see here.

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,000
You know, looking things up the show, right?

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,160
So Berkshire Hathaway had a shareholder meeting and they arrested one of their speakers.

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Did you hear about that?

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,360
I did not.

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:44,080
OK, so at the Berkshire Hathaway stockholder meeting, a guy went up to do a proposal which

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,640
was going to split the chairmanship and the CEO, I guess is pretty common.

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,480
And he made a speech and in the speech he attacked Warren Buffett and he attacked Bill

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,400
Gates and he brought up some interesting facts about Bill Gates and he got booed off the

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,120
stage and the police arrested him.

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,240
This guy's like billionaire rich guy, right?

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,720
He's super wealthy, ruling class.

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,000
He brought up things about Bill Gates and was arrested.

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,320
So he brought up the fact that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was supporting or

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,440
was enforcing CRT, critical race theory.

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,840
And I learned later they're also getting behind a lot of the gender ideology that's going

79
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:25,840
around right now.

80
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,920
And it's also not just them.

81
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:35,800
So I kind of want to talk about why there is this agenda right now for gender ideology

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,360
and critical race theory.

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,320
I have an idea of why it's becoming popular right now.

84
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:49,000
And they hit on it a little bit because he brought up that Bill Gates was good buddies

85
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,720
with Jeffrey Epstein.

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,920
Because Gates is tied to Epstein.

87
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,780
His wife divorced him because of his ties to Epstein.

88
00:04:56,780 --> 00:04:58,800
She said that in an interview.

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Yes, he was extremely tied in, wink wink, with Epstein, at least according to his ex-wife.

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,080
So yeah, joy joy, right?

91
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,560
So this investor got boo hissed off the stage and they had the guy arrested in charge of

92
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,320
trespassing, which is a pretty crazy crime to do for a guy that owns a speaker at your

93
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,360
company that owns control stock, who is a billionaire.

94
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

95
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,920
So anyway, he brought up the fact that Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pushes critical

96
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,960
race theory.

97
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,960
And I did not know that.

98
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Did you know that?

99
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,880
I did not know that.

100
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,640
And I think now, and I've tried to avoid most of this kind of stuff.

101
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,080
So maybe help me out and help any listeners out.

102
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,760
Let's just summarize critical race theory really quick.

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:54,800
Okay, critical race theory is the concept that the United States is systemically racist

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,520
and that all aspects of life boil down to race, basically everything is due to race.

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,520
And it's controversial.

106
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,160
So I was like, why the fuck would Bill Gates be pushing this?

107
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,840
So I did some research.

108
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:18,160
It's not just Bill Gates that's pushing critical race theory and gender ideology, right?

109
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:25,520
It's the Ford family, the Carnegie family, the Waltons, the MacArthur Foundation.

110
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,560
There's a lot of these super wealthy, the Kellogg family is involved.

111
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:36,480
It's these super wealthy families that are pushing critical race theory and gender ideology

112
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,520
as a social program, right?

113
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,340
And I think that it's not for good.

114
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:45,120
They're not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts.

115
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,960
It's very clear to me that it's an attention grabber.

116
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,520
It's a wedge issue and they want people to focus on it.

117
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,440
And they specifically want young, educated people to focus on it.

118
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,720
On critical race.

119
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,560
On critical race theory and on gender ideology stuff.

120
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,660
They want the activist class, which are young college educated people, to be hyper focused

121
00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:10,360
on these things so that they're not paying attention to everything else that's going

122
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,360
on, right?

123
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Right.

124
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Well, we know nothing else is going on.

125
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360
It's just these surface issues.

126
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Right, right.

127
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,480
And so I went down the rabbit hole, the internet rabbit hole, because now that I know that

128
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,120
these people are pushing this ideology, there's got to be a reason, right?

129
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,480
And that's to cover up what their misdeeds are.

130
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,360
So is any of this new to you?

131
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,760
I guess like, so we kind of went on a little bit of a roller coaster and we've been kind

132
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:43,080
of trying to deal with some of our own, it's a little bit of glitchy tech issues, right?

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:49,680
But we started out with a subway strangler and then we went to a speaker who gets arrested

134
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,600
because he's saying that the gates and the other corporate persons or people behind the

135
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:01,000
corporate persons are preaching critical race theory and they are excited about the gender

136
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,720
politics going on because it keeps the young college educated people focused on those topics

137
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,720
and not at the bigger picture behind the scenes.

138
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Is that what you're asking me?

139
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Yes.

140
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,280
How much of it am I aware of?

141
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,760
I mean, I've been aware, I guess for a long time that there's always a bigger picture

142
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,920
than whatever the supliferous thing is that the media wants you to think about.

143
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,640
So in that sense, I'm not surprised.

144
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:33,680
I guess I'm a little more surprised that somebody like Bill Gates, who has, I would say mostly

145
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:37,320
a reputation of, I mean, what's his deal?

146
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,080
He wants to rid the world of polio or AIDS or he's like championing against a certain

147
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,520
disease with his foundation, but I know that recently after the divorce, things kind of

148
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,600
got a little different.

149
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,400
So I guess it's a little surprising, not overly surprising since I knew he was chummy chummy

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:01,120
with Epstein, but a little surprising he's kind of doubling down a la Elon Musk, I guess.

151
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Right.

152
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360
Well, Elon Musk is tied in with all this too.

153
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,360
Don't kid yourself.

154
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,360
He's a product of-

155
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Oh, I'm not kidding myself at all.

156
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:15,600
Well, yeah, that was a figure of speech, but just a figure of speech.

157
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,880
He's just a product of government welfare.

158
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,640
I was thinking about doing a special Elon Musk too.

159
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,640
That's for a different day.

160
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,480
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

161
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Before we get more into your thing, I don't know what weight this has because I found

162
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:35,760
it on a meme page of all things, but apparently there's this white woman who the media was

163
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:42,760
lambasting as a racist Karen because she had her bike stolen by a black person and the

164
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,040
media was touting it as, well, she's white and she didn't get to the bike in time.

165
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,800
It's one of these rental bikes, right?

166
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Like a, I don't know, you pay the money and you rent the bike for an hour or whatever

167
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,960
it is.

168
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,960
And they were saying, well, she's just upset because she didn't get there before the black

169
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,320
person got there and the black person got there fair and square and whatever.

170
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,440
And apparently there's like receipts showing that this woman paid for her bike ticket and

171
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,200
the bike was legitimately stolen.

172
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,080
But it's, I don't know whether that's here or there, if we should even bother looking

173
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:17,320
it up other than to say that I guess the race politics thing is working because now people

174
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,440
are almost more focused on the race of the players and they are at what the players are

175
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,640
actually doing.

176
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,100
Yes, yes.

177
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:29,280
And that goes into this critical race theory and we got out of college early enough to

178
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,000
where it wasn't a factor so much.

179
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Yeah.

180
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,640
And I found out and like I say, I fell into this rabbit hole.

181
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,480
They're not, it's not a conspiracy.

182
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,800
It cannot be a conspiracy because they're doing it in the open and they're honest about

183
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,800
what they're doing.

184
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,800
Sure.

185
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,240
It's, they're not conspiring and keeping it secret.

186
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,340
They're doing it in public and they're also trying to actively manipulate society so people

187
00:10:53,340 --> 00:10:59,000
are hyper focused on nonsense basically and not on them.

188
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Right.

189
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,720
So have you heard the term feudalism 2.0?

190
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,840
Nope, I'm still running the good old 1.0 on my laptop.

191
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:16,600
So feudalism 2.0 comes from a concept that the World Economic Forum put forward a couple

192
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,760
years ago called the Great Reset.

193
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,240
I'm sure you've heard of the Great Reset.

194
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,560
I've heard of it.

195
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,000
I can't remember precisely what it means.

196
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,680
The Great Reset was an idea put forward by the World Economic Forum, which is all these

197
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,640
rich guys, right?

198
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:38,000
That by 2030, their goal as mega corporations is that the average person will own absolutely

199
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
nothing.

200
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,280
They will rent everything from the owning class, everything.

201
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,840
And thus it's feudalism 2.0, right?

202
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Everybody is now a serf.

203
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,840
And I think that a lot of this is all tied in with that goal that the owners want to

204
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,800
own everything, including your underwear, and that you as an end user only rent.

205
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Yep.

206
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:06,360
Well, they're already doing it with like Tesla, right?

207
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Because if you don't pay, then your car doesn't function.

208
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Or if you don't subscribe, it's all subscription based, right?

209
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,600
So if you don't subscribe, then you don't get functions, functionality of your car.

210
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,600
So...

211
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,600
And Tesla's not alone.

212
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Mercedes-Benz is doing that.

213
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,320
BMW is doing that.

214
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,320
Yeah.

215
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,760
And that's just big ticket items.

216
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:33,520
Don't mention your phone or any of the modern gizmo gadgets that you pay money for are all

217
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,540
subscription based services for the most part.

218
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:41,200
So I think that a lot of it is to take people's attention away from that.

219
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,000
But just like anything else, it's not that simple, right?

220
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,480
It's to take people's attention away from all the crooked, crazy shit that's going on

221
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,480
in the world right now.

222
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,120
And it's all reported on, but it never gets traction with people.

223
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:03,840
There is a conspiracy theory that the COVID pandemic was manufactured to assist these

224
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:10,240
rich guys in accelerating the Great Reset so that they can install Feudalism 2.0.

225
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,720
That's the conspiracy theory.

226
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,900
The problem with people who criticize that is that they very clearly are trying to...

227
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:21,640
Whether or not they manufacture the energy of it.

228
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,640
Yeah.

229
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Yes.

230
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,560
Which brings us into conspiracy territory.

231
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:35,080
And so this whole Great Reset thing, it's not the only thing though, right?

232
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,160
It's like everything.

233
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:43,960
So were you aware, for example, that the CDC changed the definition of vaccine in 2021?

234
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,960
Nope.

235
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,960
Yes.

236
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,400
Oh, yes.

237
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,760
So it was immunity.

238
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240
Vaccines caused immunity.

239
00:13:54,240 --> 00:14:02,560
And they changed it in 21 to it gives protection, which was the old term for inoculator, a therapeutic,

240
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:03,560
right?

241
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:04,560
Oh, got it.

242
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:08,000
And they had to do that because the claims that the COVID-19 vaccine would prevent you

243
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,760
from getting COVID, not that they intended it to be a lie.

244
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,560
Which makes sense because it was done in kind of a new scientific way, right?

245
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:19,920
So anyway, we have a lot of audio issues right now and it's bogging me down.

246
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,840
I'm sure it's bogging Nate down too.

247
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,000
It is bogging me down in the worst possible way.

248
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,840
Yeah, Nate's getting sour.

249
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,120
I was telling Mike, I just want to record a podcast and smoke and drink.

250
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,720
I don't want to be fucking with audio issues.

251
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,440
I don't know if it's network latency or what it is, but we're using a low latency codex.

252
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,640
So I don't know.

253
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,640
Impossible.

254
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,160
You think we're about halfway done with our cigar, Mike?

255
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Yeah, I would say we're about halfway.

256
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,440
I would say so.

257
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,440
It's good.

258
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,440
What do you think about it?

259
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,440
I like it.

260
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,280
It's got a little sour note, I think though.

261
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,280
Okay.

262
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,280
I like it too.

263
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:02,480
I have because of our past, or my past, Kyrka experience with the one that was, I thought,

264
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,480
fairly sour.

265
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,560
I've been trying to smoke this one a little slower and it's helped that I've been trying

266
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,080
to troubleshoot some tech issues in between.

267
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,800
Sure, mine's almost gone out twice.

268
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Oh, okay.

269
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,800
Yeah, I'm going real slow.

270
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Yeah.

271
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Yeah, I haven't had to relight though.

272
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,720
Okay.

273
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Yes.

274
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:29,080
So anyway, this is all, it's all a long direction to get to.

275
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:35,120
The masters are purposely trying to keep us ignorant about what's actually going on and

276
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,040
they're doing it in plain sight.

277
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,960
So it's not a conspiracy because they're doing it openly.

278
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,240
All these crazy stories are happening in the open.

279
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,720
It's just people are, for example, the Jordan Neely thing.

280
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,680
People are so focused on it and the politicians want to whip people up about this nonsense

281
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,200
and they don't want you to focus on the fact that Jordan Neely fell through the cracks

282
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,200
of the system.

283
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,400
He really should have been helped.

284
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,360
He had meant serious mental health problems.

285
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,040
He never should have been in that position in the first place.

286
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,520
And the politicians who are whipping people up about the race issues are the ones who

287
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,520
failed him.

288
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:16,520
So would you say it's the same in some sort, some sense with kind of the gun control stuff?

289
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Like most of these shooters, most of these people, they need mental help.

290
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Yes, I would say it's very similar, right?

291
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,160
They don't want to talk about universal healthcare because the masters don't want us to have

292
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,160
it.

293
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Even though they themselves have it.

294
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,160
Oh yes.

295
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,600
They have their own healthcare plan.

296
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,600
Oh yes.

297
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,200
Oh yes.

298
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,920
And so this ties in with these crazy stories.

299
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:49,720
One of the biggest corruption exposures is happening right now with the Supreme Court.

300
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,240
Are you aware of what's going on?

301
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,840
I am not.

302
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,520
Before we get into that sour topic, I wanted to let you know that I have been detecting

303
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,680
some sour hints from my cigar after you called my attention to it.

304
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,000
And now that I've kind of calmed down a little bit, my blood pressure is kind of back to

305
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,960
normal after all of our tech issues, which I think I resolved magically doing some stuff.

306
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,920
So magically, I'm sure it's way above my head, above my pay grade.

307
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,000
Ah, it'd be, I have to say.

308
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Anyway, so Supreme Court sourness stuff going on hit me with it.

309
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,440
So it's been revealed that every Supreme Court justice in their own way is taking bribes.

310
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,440
Yeah.

311
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,440
Yeah.

312
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,880
Why wouldn't they?

313
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,400
So Thomas, Justice Thomas is the most egregious one.

314
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,400
Yeah.

315
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,400
I'm sorry.

316
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,400
Yes.

317
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,400
Yes.

318
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,400
Yes.

319
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,960
That we know of yet.

320
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:48,960
Yeah.

321
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,300
That we know of right now, to be clear, what we know of right now.

322
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:59,520
So he was taking gifts worth tens of millions of dollars from a billionaire who he was ruling

323
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,440
on in court cases.

324
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,760
That's totally not a conflict of interest, by the way.

325
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,240
It's not against the law.

326
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:12,880
So what's been revealed is that basically the Supreme Court has no rules about their

327
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,880
conduct.

328
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,880
Yeah.

329
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,880
Why would they?

330
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,880
Why would they?

331
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,880
Only the highest court of the land.

332
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,880
Yeah.

333
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,080
And there's no rules preventing them from taking bribes, basically.

334
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:28,080
Well, they're kind of put there in weird ways too, you know?

335
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,320
Like is it nominated or, you know, by the current president?

336
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,360
So it's not like they did a good job judging or something.

337
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,780
There's not like a, I mean, they still have to go through the acceptance process, right?

338
00:18:39,780 --> 00:18:42,700
They don't, everybody doesn't get confirmed.

339
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:47,420
There's a process that they go through, but it's not like they took home a gold in judging

340
00:18:47,420 --> 00:18:48,420
or something.

341
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:49,420
Right.

342
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:56,320
So some of them were federal judges beforehand, but most of them are very politically connected.

343
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Yeah.

344
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,320
So yeah, Thomas was the worst because him and his wife were taking multimillion dollar

345
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,720
vacations every year for the last like 30 years.

346
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,480
Well, didn't his daughter get put through school by the guy, the donor?

347
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,760
Or don't we know?

348
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,760
I don't know.

349
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Probably.

350
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Okay.

351
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,760
I don't know if that's a for sure thing.

352
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,960
I thought I saw something about that, but.

353
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,960
Oh, possibly.

354
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:18,960
Yeah.

355
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Yeah.

356
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Who knows?

357
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,960
Indeed.

358
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,880
So what you're saying is the rest of the Supreme Court is not necessarily any different.

359
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,240
No, they're exactly the same.

360
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:36,000
So, Neil Gorsuch made somewhere between 250,000 and 500,000 in real estate deals to one of

361
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,920
the law firms that goes in front of the court.

362
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,920
Okay.

363
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,920
Yes.

364
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,000
And I'm putting up my little fingers for emphasis.

365
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Somewhere between 250,000 and 500,000, which is a meaningless figure.

366
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,600
We don't know.

367
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,800
He's been selling real estate to the law firm that he's judging on.

368
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Yeah.

369
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,720
But Sotomayor, so we're not trying to attack just Republicans.

370
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:05,520
Sotomayor ruled on a court case for a book publisher that paid her $500,000 for her book.

371
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,520
Okay.

372
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,840
Small price to pay for a book.

373
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,840
Right.

374
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Yeah.

375
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,840
That was her advance.

376
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,680
So she got a half a million dollar advance and then she was ruling on cases involving

377
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,640
the publisher before she wrote the book.

378
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,640
Okay.

379
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,640
Yeah.

380
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,640
Yeah.

381
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,640
So it's corrupt.

382
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,640
No foul play there.

383
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,640
Right.

384
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:30,520
And you have to realize or remember that these are also the same people that said corporations

385
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,360
giving unlimited amounts of money to politicians does not have the appearance of corruption.

386
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:36,360
Yes.

387
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,360
Because why would that?

388
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,360
Right.

389
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:39,360
So why would that?

390
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:42,920
Appear corrupt to those that are getting unlimited amounts of money from corporations.

391
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,920
Right.

392
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,920
Legally.

393
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,920
Perfectly legal.

394
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,920
Indeed.

395
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,920
Indeed.

396
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,460
It is psychotic.

397
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:57,460
So I read a Wall Street Journal article and people are defending the justices embezzling

398
00:20:57,460 --> 00:20:58,460
money.

399
00:20:58,460 --> 00:20:59,460
I don't know how you could.

400
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:02,560
Or taking bribes because they're elites as well.

401
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840
All the elites like this system of no consequences.

402
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,840
Yeah.

403
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Shocker, right?

404
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,880
Big surprise there.

405
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:15,040
So again, it's like stories that people should be infuriated about.

406
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,520
Yeah, but we're too upset about gender and race baiting, dude.

407
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,520
That's exactly it.

408
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,520
And that's the strategy.

409
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,320
Who has the time for any of this Supreme Court stuff?

410
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
That stuff's so far away.

411
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,040
So it's not just them, of course, right?

412
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

413
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Nestle.

414
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,040
And this, I was tertiarily aware of this issue.

415
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:45,720
So the ex-CEO of Nestle said that water was not a human right and that it should be commoditized

416
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,960
and sold to people.

417
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Yeah.

418
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,960
Yes, of course.

419
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,520
Well, of course you would say that.

420
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,880
Of course you would say that, right?

421
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,920
So in Michigan, Nestle has bottling plants.

422
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,400
And that's where we get our water.

423
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,400
In this state, if you buy a bottle of water, most likely it's made by Nestle.

424
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,520
It's probably bottled in Michigan, right?

425
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:14,320
So in Michigan, Nestle makes $343 million from the bottle of water just from Michigan.

426
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,120
It's 200 million gallons of water.

427
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:22,520
Oh no, I'm sorry, 130 million gallons of water that they're taking from Michigan and putting

428
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,080
in bottles and selling to you and I.

429
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:32,340
How much money a year do you think Nestle pays for that 130 million gallons that they're

430
00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:35,400
making $343 million of the profit on?

431
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,400
I don't know.

432
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,560
Let's say like $20,000.

433
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:46,560
$200 a year is what they pay to Michigan.

434
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Okay.

435
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,680
I mean, my number was laughable in comparison to the profit that they get, right?

436
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,680
Yes, it was.

437
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,640
And the true amount is even more so.

438
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,640
Yes.

439
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,760
So the guy who says that water should be privatized.

440
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,280
Pays $200 a year for his water.

441
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Pays $200 a year for the water that he's making $343 million of the profit on.

442
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,040
And I guess that this happens all over the world with Nestle.

443
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,640
Like this is just one factory that we know about.

444
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,640
Oh yeah.

445
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:25,640
And if you get into their chocolate stuff and how they employ slave labor to pick the

446
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,800
beans and everything, like it's a whole thing.

447
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,680
Oh, I'm sure.

448
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Probably a whole episode or two if we were to get into it.

449
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,480
Are you relighting yours?

450
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,480
Okay.

451
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,440
Mine's got become quite sour.

452
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,240
I'm not much past halfway and mine went out and it's not sour, but it's got that hint

453
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,360
of sourness to it, you know?

454
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,360
Yeah.

455
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:50,840
This one might be a short stick.

456
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,840
Yeah.

457
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,120
I've not been overly impressed with this one so far.

458
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:56,120
Unfortunately.

459
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,960
I was looking forward to it.

460
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,360
It's got positive notes to it.

461
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:03,360
And I was excited.

462
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:04,760
I was really excited.

463
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,800
And it's got positive notes to it, but I don't think I'd buy another one.

464
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,800
Let's put it that way.

465
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Yeah.

466
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,080
I think I would not either.

467
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,080
I don't know.

468
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,160
You know, this one and then what was it?

469
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,640
Was it the beauty that I had sourness with and I was smoking too fast and stuff?

470
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,680
I think it was the beauty.

471
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,680
Yeah.

472
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,680
Yeah.

473
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,680
It's a wrapper.

474
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:32,320
Some of these are really good and some of these are kind of middling, I guess, is maybe

475
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,400
how I would define them.

476
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,200
I would say so.

477
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,960
This is not as good as a dark shark.

478
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,960
No.

479
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,640
At least the dark shark's consistent.

480
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,440
There's no sourness in the flavor.

481
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,440
What little there is.

482
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,440
Right.

483
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Yeah.

484
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,440
It's definitely not as good as a shrew.

485
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,440
No.

486
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,120
So, but yeah.

487
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:57,920
So this asshole mega wealthy guy wants to privatize water and sell everything to everybody,

488
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,920
right?

489
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,240
But his corporation didn't pay for their water.

490
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,240
They just profiteered.

491
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,240
Yeah.

492
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,240
Yeah.

493
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,960
And, you know, I don't know why people aren't boycotting Nestle and the chocolate thing

494
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,280
is also true.

495
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Yeah.

496
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:17,360
I think the trouble is you can't, it's too complicated to boycott anything these days

497
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:25,240
because literally everything you get is manufactured, sold by three or four corporations that own

498
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,240
everything, right?

499
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,240
Right.

500
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Through all these different umbrellas and whatnot.

501
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:35,920
And if you boycott Nestle, well, there goes pretty much a lot of things you consume and

502
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,960
there's not a lot of options left over for you.

503
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,200
So because even if you boycott just the pure Nestle brand, well, they own all these other

504
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,320
brands.

505
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:49,760
So then what, you can't stop buying the other brands, but then you're still, I mean Nestle

506
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,640
is still getting the same cut that they would if you were just buying straight Nestle products.

507
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,640
So you can't.

508
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,640
Right.

509
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,000
And Nestle doesn't own Nestle.

510
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,920
They're owned by an investment company that owns a shit ton of stuff.

511
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,920
Yeah.

512
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,920
So they don't care.

513
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,920
Well, why would they care?

514
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,920
They don't.

515
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,920
Yeah.

516
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,920
They don't care.

517
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,160
And Nestle bottles a whole bunch of different waters that are all branded differently.

518
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,160
Yeah.

519
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,160
So there's a, I mean.

520
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,440
And a bunch of different chocolate bars that are all branded differently and maybe have

521
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,440
different companies on them.

522
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,600
That's impossible to get away.

523
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,600
Yeah.

524
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,880
So I don't know why people aren't more outraged about that, you know, because they're what?

525
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,720
They're worried about fucking Dylan Mulvaney or something nonsense.

526
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Yeah.

527
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,040
Well, we know what I'm saying.

528
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,040
People really get upset about that stuff.

529
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,600
Yeah, I mean, be upset about what you want to be upset about.

530
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:45,960
So presumably Nestle owns Carina, Friske's, Fancy Feast, a whole slew of others, Kit Kat,

531
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,560
O'Henry, Crunch, Smarties.

532
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,120
I'm just doing kind of the highlights from each box.

533
00:26:51,120 --> 00:27:01,800
Nerds, Sweet Tarts, Scub Stoppers, the Perrierre Water, Nestle, Nestle Peer Life, S Pellegrino,

534
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,680
Something Spring, Monteclair and Vittel, all those are waters.

535
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:12,200
They own Garnier, Shampoos and Things, Maybelline, The Body Shop.

536
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,360
So The Body Shop is owned by Nestle.

537
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:22,760
They own Gerber, Nezquik, Chefmate, Powerbar, Ralph Lauren, Diesel, a bunch of other clothing

538
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:30,440
brands that I don't own, Armani, Nescafe, Taster's Choice, Coffee Mate, Nespresso, the

539
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:38,280
Dryers, of course Nestle Drumstick, Hotpockets, Stouffer's and Delicio.

540
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,280
And that's just a couple from each.

541
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,720
I mean, they own L'Oreal and Wonka as well.

542
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,560
So those are just like the top two to four from each box on this chart, this flow chart

543
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,360
of what Nestle owns.

544
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,840
So are you going to get away from them?

545
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,000
Well, and that's not even covering the other properties that Nestle's owner owns.

546
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,640
See what I'm saying?

547
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,640
They might own Hershey's.

548
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Who the hell knows?

549
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,640
You know what I'm saying?

550
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,640
Well, yeah.

551
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,640
I don't know.

552
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,680
It's not public information or if it is public information, it's not broadcasted.

553
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,680
Yeah.

554
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,680
It's just like a...

555
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,160
And so like kind of the big ones are Kraft, Nestle, P&G, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever,

556
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:26,000
Mars, Kellogg, General Mills and PepsiCo are kind of the big ones as far as like companies

557
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,520
that own everything that we consume on a day to day basis and we must consume more.

558
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,520
Right.

559
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,520
Yeah.

560
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,520
And they want...

561
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,520
It's ridiculous.

562
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,520
It's ridiculous.

563
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,240
And they're destroying the planet with their fucking plastic bottles, you know?

564
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,760
And there's layers and layers to it.

565
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,120
And there's no price for that.

566
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,040
They don't have to pay for any of that cleanup.

567
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Nope.

568
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,840
But you and I have to pay because we have to use a plastic straw every time we drink

569
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,840
something.

570
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,840
Right.

571
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,840
Right.

572
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,840
It's...

573
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,840
I mean, a paper straw.

574
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,840
Sorry.

575
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,760
Well, you know, that plastic straw is what's destroying the environment.

576
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Yeah.

577
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Not Elon Musk's spaceship blowing up.

578
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,640
Right.

579
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,640
It's not Nestle's...

580
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,640
It's not the batteries in your electric car.

581
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,640
Yeah.

582
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,640
Not Tesla's electric batteries.

583
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,640
Apple's batteries and chips.

584
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,040
That strip mining for the lithium or whatever it is.

585
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,160
Right.

586
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,160
It's not that.

587
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,520
It's not the slave factory that they make your own.

588
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,520
Yeah.

589
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,520
It's my plastic straw.

590
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,520
Yeah.

591
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,520
It's the plastic straw.

592
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,520
It's ridiculous.

593
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,520
It's all nonsense.

594
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Yeah.

595
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,880
And then at the end, like Pfizer tries to pretend like they're some good guy.

596
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,400
They made $7.5 billion from the fucking government last year.

597
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,400
Yeah.

598
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,400
Well, and then we did the eggs.

599
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,520
Didn't we talk about the eggs?

600
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Like the egg company or whatever was like, oh, we don't have enough eggs.

601
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,560
And the egg prices skyrocketed.

602
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:46,180
Well, it turns out they made like 743% profit during that month that egg prices skyrocketed.

603
00:29:46,180 --> 00:29:51,080
And then all these insulin companies came out together and they were like, oh yeah,

604
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,080
yeah, yeah.

605
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,880
We're going to make all of our insulin $37, a box of insulin for $37.

606
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,640
Well, the guy who invented artificial insulin, like sold his patent for a dollar because

607
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:06,660
he thought that everybody should have access to insulin or free or for a dollar or for

608
00:30:06,660 --> 00:30:07,660
a very cheap amount.

609
00:30:07,660 --> 00:30:11,280
And so all these insulin companies came out and said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

610
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,120
We're going to make our insulin $37.

611
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:19,120
Well, that's not what I had to pay in my copay with insurance when I went to go get my insulin

612
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,120
the other day.

613
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,720
So I don't know who's buying what these people are selling.

614
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,720
People do though.

615
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,720
Yeah, I know.

616
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,720
People do though.

617
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,400
I personally know people who are angry at Bud Light, like legitimately.

618
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,400
Yeah.

619
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,680
I mean, there's lots of reasons to be angry at Bud Light.

620
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,520
They're buying up every microbrewery.

621
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,240
So they're like the Nestle of the beer industry.

622
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,000
A lot of the microbreweries you think you like.

623
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Yeah.

624
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
I mean, yeah, sure.

625
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,200
InBev and Hazard Bush, whatever.

626
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,980
But it's all the same thing, right?

627
00:30:46,980 --> 00:30:48,080
They're buying up everything.

628
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,960
And it's all every time you buy a craft beer, not every time, but a lot of the big craft

629
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,240
beers, every time you buy one of those, it's money in Budweiser's pockets.

630
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,560
So you want to boycott Bud Light.

631
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,560
Good.

632
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,800
Go drink your craft beer that they also produce and make money off of.

633
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,440
Like you can't do it.

634
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,600
And then that's maybe the biggest failing now is like capitalism at one point used to

635
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,360
mean you could vote with your dollar basically as the consumer, like more of the power was

636
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,360
with the consumer.

637
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:24,000
But you've got all these major agglomerations that own everything in their spheres of industry

638
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
and you can't get away from them.

639
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
You can't cut them off.

640
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Yep.

641
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,200
It's impossible.

642
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,840
It's impossible.

643
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:37,400
And the news, the news media corporations are tied in with these massive corporations and

644
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,840
they try to protect them by misinforming people.

645
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,840
Yeah.

646
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,840
And the politicians too.

647
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,640
I mean, all these companies have to do is get big enough so that they can buy some of

648
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,680
their competitors and buy a politician or two.

649
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,680
And then, and then that's it.

650
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,680
And they don't have to worry about it because usually with the politician comes the media.

651
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,680
So oh, sure.

652
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,120
I mean, that's it's like the speaker of the house.

653
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,120
Now it's Kevin McCarthy.

654
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,780
It was Nancy Pelosi.

655
00:31:59,780 --> 00:32:04,600
I don't think people are aware that you become speaker of the house because you generate

656
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,440
the most money and then you pay, you know, so these guys are hyper corrupt.

657
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,800
They're getting hundreds of millions of dollars from corporations and then they take their

658
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,760
pile and they divvy it out to their support, to these other people in their party for their

659
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,160
vote to become speaker of the house.

660
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,640
So they're all corrupted by this money system.

661
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,640
All of them.

662
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,640
It's insanity.

663
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:31,280
Well, and all you have to do if you don't believe Mike or myself is look up any one

664
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:39,600
of the people in Congress, wherever, what have you at the national level, and you look

665
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,800
up their net worth and realize that they're all there on like a salary of $200,000 a year.

666
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,760
So where's all that net worth coming from?

667
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:47,760
Right.

668
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,760
I mean, you figure it out.

669
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,240
Look at Joe Biden.

670
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,240
Perfect example.

671
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,240
Yeah.

672
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,560
You know, not only is he the last Dixie crack in the government, he started in government

673
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,220
50 years ago as a young man, not having any money.

674
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:01,220
And now he's a multimillionaire.

675
00:33:01,220 --> 00:33:05,640
But how did that happen when he was working for he's an elected office the entire time

676
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,720
he's working for us the entire time.

677
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,720
Right.

678
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,040
So why does he have all these crazy multi layered corporate entities that he owns that

679
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,240
are laundering money?

680
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,240
Yeah.

681
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,240
You know, shocker, right?

682
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,240
Yep.

683
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,240
Well, and he's not the only one.

684
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,120
I mean, you know, people can get all up in arms about, well, you're talking Biden and

685
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,720
he's a nice old man.

686
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,160
Well, he may be not a nice old man.

687
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,460
Probably not.

688
00:33:28,460 --> 00:33:32,600
But it's true of any politician, it just happens he happens to be the current sitting president.

689
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,960
So he's the one we're gonna we're gonna talk about.

690
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,960
But all of these all of these politicians have their own little umbrella corporations

691
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:47,080
and money laundering schemes and, and packs and super PACs and various funds and fundraisers

692
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,060
and donations and things that they all do.

693
00:33:50,060 --> 00:33:54,920
And if you look at the Pandora and Panama papers, all of these people in power in the

694
00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:01,560
government or in industry have all their own offshore bank accounts where they can skirt

695
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:08,680
the US tax system that they then use as soundbites when they go on the news and tell us, well,

696
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,760
we need to get these people to pay more taxes.

697
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,320
Well, even if we passed a higher effective tax rate for these millionaires billionaires,

698
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,720
they would never pay the same rate anyway, because they're shielding most of their money

699
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:20,800
offshore.

700
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,000
It wouldn't even matter.

701
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,000
You could you could give them 100% tax rate and they would still be the wealthiest people

702
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,040
on the planet because most of their income doesn't show in America.

703
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,840
Right, right.

704
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,980
And my Mitt Romney, he doesn't have an income is all his money is all this profits come

705
00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:39,920
from stocks and shit, which is an income.

706
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,960
And they made the rules to wherever you can't tax that at the same rate.

707
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,200
I think the tax rate is like 13%.

708
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,440
But they can write off a lot of shit.

709
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,440
Oh, yeah.

710
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,800
You know, charitable donations is just another way for them to launder money back to themselves.

711
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,160
Yeah, especially when you're big like Donald Trump, who's got his own foundation.

712
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,920
So if he gives enough to his own foundation, he doesn't have to pay any tax to the federal

713
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:02,920
government.

714
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:03,920
Yeah.

715
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,880
For example, not just Donald Trump, it's Mitt Romney, it's all these super rich guys.

716
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,880
Oh, yeah.

717
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,920
So and then that foundation that should be politicians or should be serving the people

718
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,760
but aren't right.

719
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,800
This is a change of topic.

720
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,680
It's along the same vein.

721
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:25,160
Biden announced a while ago that he had an E.V. plan in the federal government is going

722
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,360
to invest billions of dollars and they're going to build five hundred thousand electric

723
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,000
charging stations across the country.

724
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,360
Did you hear about this?

725
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,040
I heard briefly about it.

726
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,000
It's one of those things where it's kind of like student loan debt relief.

727
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,800
It's either not going to happen or it's going to be wildly inefficient when it does.

728
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:50,760
Well, let's just say for the sake of argument, yes, the plan will work and they're actually

729
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,520
going to put five hundred thousand electrical charging stations.

730
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:58,760
Yeah, his goal or the administration's goal is that by 2030, one half of all vehicles

731
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,000
sold in the country are going to be electric vehicles.

732
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,920
And that I think five hundred thousand charging stations is enough then.

733
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,880
No, it's nowhere near enough, nowhere near enough.

734
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,880
It's a joke.

735
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:12,880
It all it is.

736
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,520
And this is my opinion.

737
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,760
It's just giving a tax subsidy to Elon Musk.

738
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,760
Oh, yeah.

739
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,960
Right, because his company is producing in the United States and they're going to have

740
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,800
to build these in the United States.

741
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:26,800
Yeah.

742
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,440
And it's just a way to funnel money to rich people from your tax dollars.

743
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,440
Yes.

744
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,880
Just like SpaceX, right.

745
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,760
A third of SpaceX's money comes directly from the federal government.

746
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,960
All this is a way to funnel your tax dollars to Elon Musk.

747
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,640
Because he certainly needs more money.

748
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,640
Right.

749
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:43,640
That's the other thing.

750
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,640
He's losing money every day.

751
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,320
Well, good.

752
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,560
Maybe we can get him to lose more money every day and then we don't have to read about him

753
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,800
in the papers.

754
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,240
Or you know, we could just share that picture of him and Jisley and Maxwell and get him

755
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:58,120
arrested like he should be.

756
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,160
But, you know, it's like that's the thing is like all these rich people, once you get

757
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,680
to a certain level of rich, then you get all of these other people that are just willing

758
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:12,240
to bend over backwards for a small fee, I'm sure, to get funnel more money into your pocket.

759
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:15,800
And it's like, well, you already have more than enough money that you would ever possibly

760
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:22,600
need for generations, but what you have to get even more from building 500,000 electric

761
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,060
charge stations.

762
00:37:24,060 --> 00:37:29,200
You can't possibly 500,000 electric charge stations that there's not a plan to build

763
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,960
a singular a single nuclear power plant to power.

764
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,300
How are we going to power these charging stations?

765
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:37,480
We don't have the electrical grid to do it.

766
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,760
Yeah, we don't.

767
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,920
And we don't have people to build it.

768
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,360
There's fewer electricians now than there was when I started my career.

769
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,360
Right.

770
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,640
And one of the major points that I liked about the industry when I got into it is that it's

771
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,440
declining in numbers and demand is going up.

772
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,360
So profitability, you know what I mean?

773
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,680
Like, yeah, yeah, it's going to turn.

774
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,200
I'll only ever make more and more because there's fewer and fewer electricians every

775
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,780
year has been for years.

776
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:03,780
And they know this.

777
00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:05,440
Yeah, they've known about it forever.

778
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,560
This total insanity.

779
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,680
And then there's a question about whether or not we even have enough lithium on the

780
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,000
planet to be able to make all these electric cars, because there's no way to recover the

781
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,480
lithium from the batteries, from what I understand.

782
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,480
And the cobalt, too.

783
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,720
Or it's too expensive for them to redo it.

784
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:20,720
Right.

785
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:22,120
It's too expensive, quote unquote.

786
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,120
Yeah.

787
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,680
But do we even have the resources to be able to do this?

788
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,000
And probably not.

789
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,960
There's some Chinese scientists that are saying that they have sodium battery technology.

790
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,960
Chinese scientists say a lot of things that aren't true.

791
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,480
I have no faith that that is going to turn out.

792
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,200
Yeah, like COVID didn't come from a bat.

793
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,600
That didn't come from a lab in Wuhan.

794
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,480
That's what Chinese scientists say.

795
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,480
Yeah.

796
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:53,680
The virus that broke out in Wuhan definitely did not come from the Wuhan COVID virus research

797
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,680
facility.

798
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,680
Yeah.

799
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,680
I mean, I'm not saying one way or the other.

800
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,160
I don't want to get conspiracy people upset with me or non-conspiracy people upset with

801
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,160
me.

802
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,920
I'm just saying, how can you believe anything anybody says?

803
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:05,920
Right.

804
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,200
You have to use a lot of critical thinking.

805
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:15,520
Yeah, especially when most of all of the Supreme Court is on the take and all of Congress is

806
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,880
on the take and all of our national politicians for sure on the take.

807
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,520
That doesn't really give anybody or doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence in anything

808
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,440
that I hear from that level anyway.

809
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:36,080
Well, everybody needs to remember that in 2008 when it was Black Jesus going against

810
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:42,240
the most evil man in the world, John McCain or reverse the great white hope, John McCain

811
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,720
versus the evil black communist who was born in Kenya.

812
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:47,240
However, you want to look at it.

813
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:48,240
Yeah.

814
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:52,200
Halliburton, which was run by Dick Cheney, the ex Republican vice president, gave the

815
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,640
same amount of money to each campaign.

816
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,080
They didn't care who won.

817
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,860
All they wanted was leverage.

818
00:39:57,860 --> 00:40:00,560
And I'm guessing to this day, they still don't care.

819
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,560
Why would it matter?

820
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,640
To them, it does not matter.

821
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,640
Not in the least, but it matters to you and me.

822
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,240
And we can keep fighting about it instead of doing something to fix the entire system.

823
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,240
Right.

824
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:14,240
Yeah.

825
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:18,240
We can argue about whether the next person who's going to run for president is going

826
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,840
to be just as corrupt as the last.

827
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:20,840
Yeah.

828
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,960
Or we can say, I'm not going to drink that beer because their spokesperson has something

829
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,640
in their pants that I don't like.

830
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:28,640
Yes.

831
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,640
Or whatever.

832
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:30,640
Whatever.

833
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Yeah.

834
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,560
And they came up with an ad campaign that offended your sensibilities.

835
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,720
Dove did the same thing.

836
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,120
I'm sure you saw that.

837
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,120
No.

838
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Oh, yeah.

839
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,040
They made some weird ad campaign about fat girls playing video games.

840
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,040
Oh, OK.

841
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Yeah.

842
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,040
It's real.

843
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,440
Why is Dove involved with video games?

844
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:50,440
I don't know.

845
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:56,240
And if you want video gamers to bathe more, surely there's a more effective way to do

846
00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:00,080
a personal hygiene campaign than whatever they came up with.

847
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,440
Oh, it's you look it up.

848
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,440
It's fine.

849
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,680
I mean, it's funny to me.

850
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,680
But people are getting upset, of course.

851
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:15,320
Well, and so I was talking to one of my other buddies and I'm like, I just don't understand

852
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,920
the whole Eminem thing.

853
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,120
And this is old news, even now when we're recording it.

854
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,840
And it'll be even older when you're listening to this.

855
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:30,440
So the cartoon Eminem's shoes were too sexy.

856
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,400
Like I don't it doesn't make any sense to me.

857
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,560
It doesn't matter to me.

858
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,720
I know people get upset about that.

859
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,080
People get upset, but like like what?

860
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,120
Like it's an Eminem.

861
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:47,800
They literally on the Carmel Eminem package, they have two Eminems ripping apart an Eminem

862
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,640
that OK, doesn't have a face or arms or legs, but they're they're ripping apart an Eminem

863
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,800
and they are Eminem.

864
00:41:53,800 --> 00:42:01,360
So are they ripping apart one of their kind to spill the ooey gooey Carmel goodness that

865
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,200
makes up his his blood and marrow and guts and everything?

866
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:10,440
Or is it or is it now and this is going out on a limb or is it simply a marketing campaign,

867
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:16,240
a marketing tactic to show you that inside this Eminem in this package is Carmel goodness

868
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:17,320
in the middle?

869
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,800
Or is it cannibalism, murder, evilness?

870
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:21,800
I don't know.

871
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,720
Like, good God, people.

872
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:24,720
Does it matter?

873
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:25,960
I mean, what was it?

874
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,240
Camel Joe or Joe the camel or whatever the smoke, the marble, the camel thing.

875
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,840
He was smoking all the time.

876
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,720
Like are we are we anti camel, anti camels?

877
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:35,720
I don't know.

878
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:36,720
I mean, whatever.

879
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:42,880
Yeah, and that's you know, instead of focusing on things that matter, like I brought up two

880
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:49,320
stories about police abuse and the moral of the story is that the police almost killed

881
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,120
somebody by putting them on a train track.

882
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,880
And then the other case was they allowed a woman who was complaining that she was having

883
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,580
health issues, who was arrested in front of a hospital.

884
00:42:59,580 --> 00:43:01,680
They allowed her to die in the backseat of the car.

885
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,680
Right.

886
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:07,540
And the cops have faced no repercussions for these misconducts.

887
00:43:07,540 --> 00:43:09,040
And people just don't give a fuck.

888
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,040
Yeah.

889
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,040
You know, the police are your hero.

890
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,040
Well, they're not.

891
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,280
They're just human beings that have difficult jobs and they make mistakes.

892
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,360
But some of it is outright cruel.

893
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,400
Oh, and when they are cruel, they almost never face consequences.

894
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,840
And there's good reason for that, because the people who are rich and powerful need

895
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:32,120
those police to beat down the porers if they ever decide to rise up.

896
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,480
Yeah, that's exactly why.

897
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,480
The quash, the dissent.

898
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,480
Yes.

899
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:42,580
You know, it's just like Waltz, who is like the liberals love him.

900
00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:47,320
He ordered people to be shot down on their own property for being outside of their homes

901
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,120
during a curfew.

902
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,120
That's insanity.

903
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,800
And he got reelected.

904
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,840
I am pretty strongly anti curfew.

905
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,480
I'm very I'm against curfews.

906
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,240
I don't care if there's riots or not.

907
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:00,840
Go and beat up the rioters then.

908
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:01,840
You know?

909
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:02,880
Yeah, stop the riot.

910
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:03,880
Stop the riot.

911
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,480
Yeah, leave the other people alone.

912
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:06,480
Right.

913
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,000
I'm not pro riot necessarily.

914
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,440
Well, I mean, I am not pro riot either.

915
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,680
I need my official government transcript to read that.

916
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,920
There are certain times where rioting may be warranted.

917
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,480
I have not seen one in my lifetime.

918
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,720
Yada yada.

919
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:25,400
And don't riot, people.

920
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,760
And always obey your local curfew.

921
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:28,760
Yes.

922
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:29,760
For legal reasons.

923
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,200
Everything else we're talking about, if it seems like we're giving you anti curfew or

924
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:41,160
pro riot sediment, that is only an educational discourse, not a practical put into practice

925
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,160
discourse.

926
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,160
Yes.

927
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,680
But at the point of conversation, we are not encouraging people to go to the governor's

928
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,760
mansion and kill everybody inside of it.

929
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:49,760
Yeah.

930
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,600
Well, I mean, we are not we are we are not advising people to do that or promoting that

931
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,040
idea in any way.

932
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,600
No, we are against it.

933
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:58,920
We are against it.

934
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:06,600
If you know some politicians that need a little touch up on their haircut, we know a good

935
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:07,600
barber.

936
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,920
Well, that was like, obviously, the Minneapolis riots were crazy, right?

937
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:12,920
Well, yeah.

938
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:18,360
But notice they didn't go to like the police chief's house or the mayor's house.

939
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,360
You know what I mean?

940
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,480
Like, why are you burning down local businesses?

941
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,480
Yeah, exactly.

942
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:23,480
Yeah.

943
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:24,720
Burn down the glass shop or whatever.

944
00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:27,320
Like why or burn down the liquor store?

945
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,320
Yep.

946
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,320
Yeah.

947
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,600
So let's do our was our tire shop that got burned down.

948
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:32,600
That's like, yeah, come on.

949
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:37,320
There's a lot of local businesses, nothing to do with any corporations or anything, you

950
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,320
know, right.

951
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,320
OK.

952
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,120
I don't feel bad for Target Corp.

953
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:42,600
But what did that target do to you?

954
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:43,600
You know what I mean?

955
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,600
Yeah.

956
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,440
Or the Cub Foods, right?

957
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,440
Yeah.

958
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:48,440
What?

959
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,200
I'm surprised that they rebuilt that neighborhood, to be honest with you.

960
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,200
Yeah.

961
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,600
Yeah, it's kind of a shithole.

962
00:45:54,600 --> 00:46:01,480
They probably put in a few more sprinkler systems.

963
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,720
Hopefully they put in a few more security measures for crowd control.

964
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,120
Yeah, some more anti-homeless architecture.

965
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,120
Right.

966
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,160
Benches with spikes and that sort of thing.

967
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Right.

968
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,160
Yeah.

969
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,320
So it's kind of like the vicinity of the police precinct.

970
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,720
But yeah, all the same, like, wouldn't it be more effective to like protest in front

971
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:23,320
of like, I don't know, the Capitol building or something instead of, you know, burning

972
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,640
down businesses?

973
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:25,640
Yeah.

974
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:30,680
You would think, I mean, I think because it happened in that like hyperlocal like neighborhood

975
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,720
community, like they all kind of got wound up about it.

976
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:38,280
And I'm not saying like I don't mean wound up like unjustifiably wound up.

977
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,960
I mean, like they should have been wound up.

978
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,640
But I think everybody else should have been wound up too.

979
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,400
The problem is it wasn't in everybody else's neighborhood because Minneapolis is a big

980
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:51,460
city and not everybody wanted to make the trek down there to go burn the local grocery

981
00:46:51,460 --> 00:46:53,680
store or whatever it was.

982
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:59,120
So it wasn't like they got upset in their community and said, we have to march on the

983
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,120
Capitol.

984
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,560
Anybody who wants police reform, come with us and march on the Capitol.

985
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,680
They just kind of started burning down their community, which is fine because they don't

986
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,680
live there.

987
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,000
So burn away, I guess.

988
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,600
But it's that what is it going to change?

989
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,160
It's not going to change any.

990
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Right.

991
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,920
Not that the Capitol would change anything either, but you'd get a little bit better

992
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,000
traction nationally if you have a peaceful march on the Capitol.

993
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Right.

994
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,280
And also notice that nothing is meaningfully changed.

995
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,280
No, absolutely not.

996
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:29,280
It's been nothing.

997
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,280
Nothing has changed.

998
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,280
Yep.

999
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:32,280
Nothing changed.

1000
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,880
You know, I guarantee you, you would have had better odds if you would have went to

1001
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,680
the mayor's, you know, the mayor's house.

1002
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:38,680
You know what I mean?

1003
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:39,680
Yep.

1004
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:44,320
But speaking about going to the mayor's house, I just kind of put my cigar out because it's

1005
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,680
not not enjoyable for me.

1006
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,280
Mine went out and I really had no desire to relate it, to be honest.

1007
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:57,000
OK, well, do you have any more points about corporations running everything and how we

1008
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,240
should all say our nightly prayers to Elon Musk before bed?

1009
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:04,480
No, not really.

1010
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:10,340
It's just people need to be more aware that all these gender and race issues are being

1011
00:48:10,340 --> 00:48:14,800
largely generated by the corporate masters to distract you.

1012
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:20,520
And I'm not saying that there's not injustice in the world, but you have to be really critical

1013
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,120
when you hear the politicians drumming up shit about Jordan Neely when it's like they're

1014
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,120
responsible.

1015
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,640
They're responsible for that guy's living condition, which is horrible.

1016
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:32,640
Right.

1017
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,300
Homeless guy with mental health problems.

1018
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:35,300
Why?

1019
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:36,300
You know, that's their fault.

1020
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:37,300
Oh, yeah.

1021
00:48:37,300 --> 00:48:38,300
Their fault.

1022
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:39,300
And they're trying to...

1023
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:44,360
Especially since our generation for sure has been kind of on the campaign and generations

1024
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,920
younger than us, Mike, have been on the campaign for like, why don't we have universal health

1025
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,920
care?

1026
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,340
Why don't we have some of these programs?

1027
00:48:51,340 --> 00:48:55,840
Why don't we have a lot of the same stuff that other developed countries have?

1028
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:56,840
Yep.

1029
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,620
And now it's, oh, well, you know, this guy or this crazy shooter or this crazy whatever

1030
00:49:01,620 --> 00:49:04,720
and this crazy thing happened and this race thing happened.

1031
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:09,720
And we're not saying that race and gender are not important things to be talking about.

1032
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:12,280
I think they're very important things to be talking about.

1033
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:18,420
I think there are maybe more pressing things that we as a society could be talking about

1034
00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:22,280
to make the gender and race topics not an issue.

1035
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,720
You know what I mean?

1036
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:29,120
Like if we could solve universal health care, would we not solve a lot of the race and gender

1037
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,800
things along with it?

1038
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,600
They don't want to talk about that.

1039
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:33,600
Right.

1040
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,600
I know.

1041
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,760
Joe Biden said that if universal health care made it to his desk, he'd veto it.

1042
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:38,760
Yeah.

1043
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:39,760
Good for him.

1044
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:40,760
Yeah.

1045
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,280
And Joe Biden was the one that broke the union or the railroad strike and forced the railroad

1046
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,600
contract that the railroad gave to the union.

1047
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,600
He forced it on him.

1048
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,840
The most union friendly president in modern times forced an evil corporate contract that

1049
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,320
the union did not accept.

1050
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,320
Yep.

1051
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,840
So he forced all these workers to accept a bad deal at the barrel of a gun.

1052
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:02,840
Yeah.

1053
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,080
And yet that's not an issue.

1054
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,280
You know, nobody's bringing that up.

1055
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,520
It should be an issue.

1056
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,200
I know some railroaders that have very sour feelings towards the Democrats right now.

1057
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:13,200
Oh, yeah.

1058
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,000
So anyway, but yeah, that's not surprise me.

1059
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,000
No.

1060
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,720
So the Gurkha crest, Mike.

1061
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:20,560
I would not buy it again.

1062
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,840
No, it wasn't offensively bad.

1063
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:29,400
No, it was one of those where just it wasn't really kind of good enough to make the effort

1064
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:30,400
to keep smoking.

1065
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:31,400
Right.

1066
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,400
Yeah.

1067
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,400
It turns sour.

1068
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,640
Which is unfortunate.

1069
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,320
But we have to call them how they are.

1070
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,440
So right now, not a recommend on this one.

1071
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,440
No, unfortunately, it was not.

1072
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,440
We've got one more Gurkha to go.

1073
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:46,880
So join us next week.

1074
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:52,300
You safe out upon.
