WEBVTT 00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:13.140 Welcome to the dumbest smart guy podcast on the 00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:18.140 planet. This is the Central Unintelligence Podcast. 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.140 An all -new episode of the Central Unintelligence 00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.960 Podcast. As always, my name is Josh, and I'm 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.320 here today with good buddy Adam. Yes, hello. 00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:51.939 So, actually, let me pull this up a little. This 00:00:51.939 --> 00:00:54.780 episode originally, we tried to record a week 00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.679 ago. Oh, we're starting over. Yeah, we're just 00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.859 starting over. Okay. Because I've sort of changed 00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.179 things a little bit, but I wanted to give the 00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:02.539 context. So we originally recorded this episode, 00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.219 and it was originally called, What is the Strategy 00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.260 Here in Iran? And now, we're going to talk about 00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.010 that a little bit. I changed the name of the 00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.329 episode to how does this affect LeBron's legacy? 00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:18.409 My favorite question, dude. You could you could 00:01:18.409 --> 00:01:22.590 tie that into anything, dude. And the reason. 00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:25.510 The reason is because, like, that's something 00:01:25.510 --> 00:01:28.469 that Adam always fucking says, and I fucking 00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:32.170 say it now. And it's in regards to, like, if 00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:33.390 you're talking about some shit, just anything 00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:34.689 random, you just go, yeah, but how does this 00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:35.909 affect LeBron's legacy? It's like the Ja Rule 00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:41.489 shit, dude. It's like, oh, my God, what is Ja 00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:45.000 Rule? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the invasion 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.959 of Iran or the war in Iran. What does Ja Rule 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.840 think about this, though? That really matters. 00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:55.379 Like, yeah. So and part of that is like, yeah, 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.799 it's funny. And also because there is an aspect 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.180 of like, OK, yeah, people asking about LeBron's 00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:04.500 legacy, like with inserting it into anything. 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.099 That's just like a selfish like thing. you know, 00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:09.520 to say like, yeah, but how does this affect me? 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.180 Right. And so like, that's kind of what we're 00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.460 also going to talk about because it ties into 00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.479 stuff that I've been saying for literally years. 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.860 And now I think we're really starting to get 00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:24.580 into the high realm of possibility, or I should 00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:30.810 say probability, a high probability or. decent 00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.110 probability that that something's going to happen 00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:36.030 that's going to really, really affect us here 00:02:36.030 --> 00:02:40.490 in the United States. And so in things change 00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:42.990 in this conflict on a daily basis, right? Like 00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:47.069 literally day to day shit changes. And in relation 00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:51.159 to the previous episode we did. Things have changed 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.199 even since then when we started. And the reason 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.900 why we started the episode last week and then 00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:56.719 the power went out, we were like fucking 20 minutes 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.379 in and the power went out and my power was out 00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:01.139 for like, I don't know, like four or five hours. 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.259 So we ended up not getting to finish. And this 00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:04.919 is the first chance we've had to like sit down 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.979 and actually meet up again to like do more episodes 00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:12.939 since then. So in context of what we talked about 00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:14.719 last time, just to kind of wrap it up a little 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.610 bit, sum it up a little was the. Multitudes of 00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:20.389 reports that were running out of interceptor 00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:22.969 missiles that were running out of the Patriot 00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:29.210 missile system. I briefly went into how the Patriot 00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:32.330 missile system costs delivered to the Middle 00:03:32.330 --> 00:03:34.650 East between six and twelve million dollars. 00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:38.610 And we generally fire at least three projectiles 00:03:38.610 --> 00:03:40.590 at whatever it is we're trying to shoot down, 00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:43.129 whether it be a missile or whether it be now 00:03:43.129 --> 00:03:47.759 a lot of. Other countries that were using it 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.479 were being pretty undisciplined with it and they 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.400 were using it to shoot down drones, which if 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.500 you're going to use it to shoot down like $150 00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:58.439 ,000 or $200 ,000 drone, you're going to literally 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.000 throw $18 million in missiles at it just to hit 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.939 it. That's a terrible idea. And that's kind of 00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:07.180 why we're in the situation that we're in. Iran 00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:09.479 has been shooting off their missiles, right? 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.599 And those missiles are a lot cheaper than $12 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.879 million fucking dollars a piece. It's not really 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.339 costing them much in the way of doing it. So 00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:22.759 we're sending $18 to $36 million, depending on 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:27.800 where the location is, to shoot down one missile, 00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:32.300 one ballistic missile from Iran or the Houthis 00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:36.399 or whoever. Can I throw something? Yeah. All 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.899 right, man. What do you think about... For us, 00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:43.079 right, to have all these private company, well, 00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.620 not private companies, but companies like Northrop 00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:47.879 Grumman. Yeah. Lockheed and Martin, all this 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.500 shit. And now that we're finding out that Iran 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.399 is able to do warfare cheaper, who does it really 00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.639 benefit to. Have like these expensive fighters 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.180 now at this point, if warfare has kind of changed. 00:05:05.829 --> 00:05:08.110 completely right if it costs like 10 million 00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:10.910 dollars to make an f -35 or an f -15 or whatever 00:05:10.910 --> 00:05:16.670 it's like are we really using those at this point 00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:22.050 and uh for the way that iran is fighting like 00:05:22.050 --> 00:05:25.970 kind of putting the universal hurt on all of 00:05:25.970 --> 00:05:29.290 us with this oil shit and the straight up hormuz 00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:31.709 they don't actually have to do anything like 00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:34.329 so i don't know if i know those are kind of like 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.100 unrelated things but maybe they are but just 00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:42.220 i i feel like uh what does it really benefit 00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:46.300 for us to have uh fighter jets that are worth 00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:48.639 10 or you know if it's like a billion dollars 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.319 or whatever the fuck it costs to make a whole 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.879 fleet of those things like so what dude yeah 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.839 well exactly well now at this point we are getting 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.259 into and this is where we're getting into that 00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:06.730 point of Of the military industrial complex. 00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:09.750 Like he literally. Pointed that out. And I've 00:06:09.750 --> 00:06:11.569 talked about that before. And if you don't fucking 00:06:11.569 --> 00:06:13.310 believe me. You can go back and watch Eisenhower's 00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:16.209 fucking. Leave an office speech. That he gave 00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:19.370 in 1950 something. Or whenever the fuck it was. 00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:25.310 And. The reason why is because. Our military 00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:29.230 budget for 2027. Is 1 .5 trillion dollars. Is 00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:32.389 what they're going to spend. One and a half trillion 00:06:32.389 --> 00:06:38.050 dollars. That's one thousand million dollars 00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:40.449 plus another five hundred fucking million dollars 00:06:40.449 --> 00:06:42.329 or billion. I mean, I'm sorry. That's a thousand 00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:45.350 billion plus another five hundred billion. Yeah, 00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:49.810 that's fucking crazy. And what are we spending 00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:52.170 it on? If you look at the they always say that 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:53.829 thing about the Pentagon never fucking can pass 00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:56.069 an audit. And the reason for that is because 00:06:56.069 --> 00:07:00.310 there's three companies charging seven thousand 00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.209 dollars for one single three eighths wrench. 00:07:03.769 --> 00:07:05.470 Right. Like, I mean, it's that's kind of like 00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:07.829 the level and that's probably an over exaggerated 00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:10.129 and a facetious type of answer, but it's not 00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:14.370 far off. They're charging for one nut or a rivet 00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:17.170 on a plane. It's nine hundred dollars. Right. 00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:19.649 And they need two thousand rivets or whatever 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:21.889 on something. And it's nine hundred dollars a 00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.209 rivet. That's how these weapon systems become 00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:27.389 so inflated. And if you look at there's a reason 00:07:27.389 --> 00:07:30.110 why all the defense contractor stocks always 00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:32.209 go up as soon as they get a contract, because 00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:35.990 it's. instantaneous huge amounts of profit because 00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:38.689 they do shit on the super super cheap and they 00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:42.709 charge 50 times or a hundred times the price 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:47.230 of what it cost to do it right and so this is 00:07:47.230 --> 00:07:49.670 when now the face of warfare is changing technology 00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:54.259 has the what is it the um The shrinking of technology 00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:57.180 and the higher level of access to it that everyone 00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:00.379 has now has changed the face of warfare. Drones, 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.160 all this shit on the cheap, cheap missiles, cheap 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.399 drones. That's the future of warfare. Disinformation, 00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:09.959 propaganda. Right. Electronic warfare, you know, 00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:12.259 hacking, that kind of stuff. That's free. Hacking 00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:14.240 is free. It doesn't cost anything. Yeah, you 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.620 got to have some computers and shit, but it's 00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:18.060 basically free. Uh, what is there something flying 00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.740 around? Oh yeah. Don't mind me. I'm just trying 00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:21.959 to keep track of mosquito. Cause I think it bit 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.060 me. Oh, son of a bitch. Anyways. That's why that's 00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:27.439 the drawbacks of the garage studio. Yeah. Um, 00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:31.579 but anyways, uh, there was something that recently 00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:34.659 just happened and this is a good example of the 00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:37.600 Navy just did like an exercise for the submarine 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.559 fleet readiness and they did not like the results. 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.200 Um, it's, it's coming out basically that the 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.820 fleets are not, the submarine fleet is not, for 00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:51.740 any kind of major conflict. And an example of 00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:55.139 that being our logistical shit has fucking gone 00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.580 awry because we spend too much money on these 00:08:57.580 --> 00:09:00.500 stupid -ass fucking weapons platforms that these 00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.720 companies could make, yeah, maybe a 3 or 4x profit, 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.039 or maybe even a 5 or 10x profit would be cool, 00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:08.059 but instead they want to make a 100x profit, 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.700 and now we're in this situation where we've got 00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:12.279 to spend so much fucking money that we don't 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.080 have, and we're really not getting decent quality 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.090 stuff anymore. Um, one of the big things with 00:09:19.090 --> 00:09:21.950 this and this this shit is there was there was 00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:25.610 a I think it was the USS. I don't know. Some 00:09:25.610 --> 00:09:29.029 I think it was Ohio or some fucking Midwest state 00:09:29.029 --> 00:09:31.830 or city name. I forget which one it was, but 00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.409 it was a Los Angeles class attack submarine. 00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:38.230 And in 2017, it went in dry dock to go get its 00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:44.389 service done. And by like 20. they were like, 00:09:44.450 --> 00:09:46.570 the Navy basically just said it lost its dive 00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:47.909 certification because it had been out of the 00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:50.090 water for over two years. The Navy just said, 00:09:50.129 --> 00:09:54.990 we don't have any reliable timeline of when this 00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:56.970 is going to get in just to get the basic maintenance 00:09:56.970 --> 00:10:00.100 on it done. Right. Like the the dry dock maintenance 00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:01.840 that needs to be performed on every fucking Navy 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.340 ship every like, you know, few years. They didn't 00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.919 have a time frame of when it could get the service 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.460 done. So they just fucking mothballed it and 00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:11.799 they just fucking took it out of service. So 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.899 we have a really big problem with our naval fleet 00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:19.019 not getting the service it needs and having the 00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:27.759 backlog of of getting that service done. Everybody 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.320 was always the quality, they're pieces of shit. 00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:33.059 Yeah, you can have. OK, that's that's been true. 00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:37.600 But now coming into the mid 2020s now and we're 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.379 really heading towards the late 2020s, the qualitative 00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:44.279 advantage that we have had is starting to diminish 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.899 greatly. And we're beginning to see that wane. 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:55.340 So getting into, OK, how does this now? affect 00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:58.320 us here like how does that affect us in the United 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.600 States and how does this affect our how does 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.139 this affect LeBron's legacy basically is what 00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:06.840 we're fucking talking about and I believe like 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.879 right now the current what it's looking like 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.419 right now is that sometime in the next couple 00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:14.600 of days I think as early as tomorrow which is 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.360 Saturday August 1st I think that we're going 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.139 to see a the rumor is that there's been strike 00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:26.620 packages approved to just decimate Iran's civilian 00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:30.840 infrastructure, that they are going to just decimate 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:36.080 that shit and try to get Iran to come back to 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.639 the table. And if that doesn't work, which it 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.340 won't, then they're going to just basically spend 00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:43.980 two weeks. They have another two week plan where 00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:46.299 they're just going to basically bomb Iran for 00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:48.440 24 hours a day straight for two fucking weeks. 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.220 That's that's like the plan. Essentially, that's 00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:53.500 that's what's been kind of coming out now. Could 00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:56.500 all just be bullshit. Who knows? But with the 00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.120 way these things have been going, these leaks 00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.659 have been happening and they turn out to generally 00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:02.659 be like true. I wouldn't fucking put it past 00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:04.539 them to believe that this is a viable fucking 00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:10.620 option. And with that being said, we have had 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:13.519 problems here in the United States in the past 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:19.309 of just. unchecked fucking people coming in, 00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:21.629 right? Which, again, I think we should just let 00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:23.409 everybody in and we should just have an easy 00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:27.169 process that's not, you know, fucking super restrictive. 00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:29.690 Just let people come in. It'll all be good. We 00:12:29.690 --> 00:12:33.129 won't have to worry about this shit. But I don't 00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:37.870 think that it's far -fetched to see... our own 00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.570 infrastructure here be attacked and not with 00:12:40.570 --> 00:12:42.549 a cyber attack i'm talking about i mean that 00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:45.549 is possible it has happened in the last day in 00:12:45.549 --> 00:12:48.629 the last 24 hours it's come out that seven states 00:12:48.629 --> 00:12:52.289 were cyber attacked for their water infrastructure 00:12:52.289 --> 00:12:55.009 minnesota being the one that came out as the 00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:58.850 first one 30 municipalities including cities 00:12:58.850 --> 00:13:00.450 and counties and i don't know what they have 00:13:00.450 --> 00:13:03.070 like fucking not counties over there it's like 00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:05.799 uh I don't know what they call them, like townships 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:10.519 or whatever, like 30 major areas in of water 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.500 systems. Their infrastructure was breached and 00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:16.320 it's not really coming out what the extent was, 00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.000 whether it was service interruptions, whether 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.620 it was the, you know, filtration stuff that we 00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:24.620 rely heavily upon, if that was affected at all. 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.909 But. minnesota and seven other or six other states 00:13:28.909 --> 00:13:31.389 supposedly had this happen and the fbi is investigating 00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:33.710 it and everyone's pointing to iran trump came 00:13:33.710 --> 00:13:36.590 out and said oh it wasn't iran he says it was 00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:40.509 the corrupt governor of uh minnesota and you 00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:43.110 know yeah basically and he was just blaming it 00:13:43.110 --> 00:13:46.340 on the governor and his corruption and that's 00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:49.679 why these water uh things went down which when 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.659 he says shit like that that makes me then further 00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:53.480 believe oh yeah fucking iran definitely probably 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.659 had something to do with this now iran is not 00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:58.679 like a powerhouse of like what's the word um 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.860 technological capability they have competent 00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:06.139 cyber attack capabilities but they're not the 00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:11.250 best um Our shit here is just so weak and our 00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:13.850 infrastructure is so bad that it's not really 00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:17.009 difficult to do this type of stuff cyber attack 00:14:17.009 --> 00:14:21.330 wise. I am still and one of the things that and 00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:24.870 I've started to hear this. And I've been saying 00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:26.570 this for years, but I've started to hear this 00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:29.330 now in come out and kind of like the starting 00:14:29.330 --> 00:14:31.149 to be in the mainstream stuff of people talking 00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:35.190 about where a physical attack on the power grid. 00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:38.429 Is not out of the realm of possibility that there's 00:14:38.429 --> 00:14:41.350 a lot of very competent, high level intelligence 00:14:41.350 --> 00:14:45.210 agency people that really this is like the thing 00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:47.470 that keeps them up at night is the fact that 00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:50.570 our infrastructure is so unprotected. It's so 00:14:50.570 --> 00:14:55.309 easily accessible. Maybe just a chain link fence 00:14:55.309 --> 00:14:57.490 with barbed wires blocking our major hubs. And 00:14:57.490 --> 00:15:00.850 as we've talked about before, there's only about 00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:03.590 12 major hubs throughout the whole United States. 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.059 that if you take down, really there's like three 00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:08.899 to four real important ones, and if you take 00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:12.000 one of them down, you will essentially lose power 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.059 to a third to the half of the United States. 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.519 We'll just lose power if one of those major hubs 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.860 is hit. And again, they're not very well guarded. 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.019 This is not a secret. All it would take, and 00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.460 again, the thing coming out is, all it would 00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:27.980 take is maybe seven, eight guys with fucking 00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:32.220 AK -47s to just go and shoot it up. As we've 00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:35.980 talked about in previous episodes regarding China 00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:38.960 and the threat that they could potentially pose, 00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:41.500 we've talked about that happening here, where 00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.679 there have been instances where small power stations, 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.299 multiple times in multiple different locations 00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:49.480 throughout the United States and over the course 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.039 of several years, there had been incidences where 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.759 there were... little small power areas and power 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.279 stations that were attacked by gunfire and nothing 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.279 was ever found no no one was ever no no harm 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.940 was ever or not no harm but no perpetrators were 00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:09.059 ever taken into custody uh because some dudes 00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:11.120 just came out of the woods and just opened fire 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.679 on it and then left um that is something that's 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.519 not out of the realm of possibility that could 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.279 happen and are there could there very well be 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:28.039 Couple hundred, you know, Iranian guys that once 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.379 we started, once we killed Khomeini back in during 00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:34.639 the first trumpet or not Khomeini, general, fuck 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.480 the Soleimani, the general that Trump drone struck 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.440 or whatever back during his first term. Did they 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.399 just finally say, OK, we've been preparing for 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.120 a conflict with the United States or the West 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.139 essentially for the last 47 years. Maybe we need 00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:53.279 to start, instead of just focusing on defense, 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.379 maybe we need to focus on an offensive capability. 00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.820 And I would not put it out of the realm of possibility 00:16:57.820 --> 00:17:01.820 that they sent some people over here. Again, 00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:03.940 it's not hard to cross the border, either northern 00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.920 or southern, and it's not hard to come across, 00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:09.900 you know, just come off of a container ship going 00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:12.279 up one of the coasts on a small little dinghy 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.900 craft and then just land anywhere along the eastern 00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:18.839 or western seaboard. and just walk right in with 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.880 backpacks and fucking shit full of AK -47s and 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.599 fucking ammunition. It's not difficult. And cash. 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.779 It's not out of the realm of possibility. And 00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:33.140 I'm starting to believe that it's going to be 00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:35.119 something that could very well likely happen. 00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:38.380 And as we've talked about in the past, if that 00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:40.369 is something that happens here... it's going 00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:42.210 to be years before that power is able to come 00:17:42.210 --> 00:17:44.730 back on. I mean, we're talking literal years. 00:17:45.009 --> 00:17:49.609 And now, maybe even never. Because guess who 00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:52.349 controls all the rare earth elements that are 00:17:52.349 --> 00:17:55.369 needed to make those fucking Transformers and 00:17:55.369 --> 00:17:59.250 to make those things? It's China. They now have 00:17:59.250 --> 00:18:02.470 their finger on the tap to be able to say, and 00:18:02.470 --> 00:18:04.269 they're already doing it to us. No, no, you guys 00:18:04.269 --> 00:18:05.410 can't have this. We're not going to let you guys 00:18:05.410 --> 00:18:10.960 have this now. Hell, at this point, China doesn't 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.920 even need to really do anything to us. This this 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.039 whole Iran situation is possibly going to play 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.720 out to where, yeah, if we had something happen 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.240 here like that and a third or half of the country 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.960 lost power or fuck, God forbid, the whole fucking 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.819 country loses power. Self -inflicted. Yeah, it 00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:30.759 would be a self -inflicted wound at this point 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.460 because we started this bullshit. And granted, 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.529 the American people. Most of us are not in favor 00:18:38.529 --> 00:18:41.230 of this fucking conflict and had nothing to do 00:18:41.230 --> 00:18:43.690 with it. But we will be suffering the consequences 00:18:43.690 --> 00:18:46.029 of that. We will be suffering the consequences 00:18:46.029 --> 00:18:49.950 of the actions of people in charge. And that's 00:18:49.950 --> 00:18:53.109 why it's important to fucking, you know, not 00:18:53.109 --> 00:18:55.569 fall for the bullshit. Everybody fell for the 00:18:55.569 --> 00:18:58.849 bullshit. I hope people learn from this. Hey, 00:18:58.970 --> 00:19:02.730 man. No new wars. Gonna end wars. All this stuff. 00:19:02.809 --> 00:19:07.000 Now here we are. Fucking 18 months in. about 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.599 to fucking go into a full -blown hot well we 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.619 basically started world war three that's basically 00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:14.759 what i think this will be this will be like okay 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.980 the russia invading ukraine was the beginnings 00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:19.880 of it was the inklings of it this middle eastern 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.380 conflict is starting to suck in more countries 00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.440 in the middle east the gulf countries starting 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.039 to get on board with stuff the hooties or the 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:31.430 hooties in yemen I'm sure Allah is what they 00:19:31.430 --> 00:19:33.829 go by or whatever over there. That's their organization. 00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.690 They're the they've now made this a regional 00:19:36.690 --> 00:19:41.049 conflict. And by by by doing such, it's now going 00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:44.230 to make this a global conflict soon enough. And 00:19:44.230 --> 00:19:46.869 I think once we start hitting the Iranian infrastructure, 00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:49.230 that's when it's going to start getting real 00:19:49.230 --> 00:19:53.710 fucking ugly. And I hope. My hope is that this 00:19:53.710 --> 00:19:56.349 talk of all this shit is just them doing such 00:19:56.349 --> 00:19:58.549 talking shit. It's just running their mouth to 00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:00.250 try to get Iran to come back to the table and 00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:03.349 negotiate. I don't think negotiation is in the 00:20:03.349 --> 00:20:05.769 cards anymore. Like, I don't think the Iranians 00:20:05.769 --> 00:20:09.369 even care. They've literally sat and prepared 00:20:09.369 --> 00:20:13.210 for the last 47 years for this exact scenario 00:20:13.210 --> 00:20:17.490 to happen. There are. underground cities that 00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:19.789 are just like little honeycombs all throughout 00:20:19.789 --> 00:20:24.109 their fucking vast land that are just just there 00:20:24.109 --> 00:20:26.329 that's what they've been doing the last 47 years 00:20:26.329 --> 00:20:29.029 they've been building this shit for this exact 00:20:29.029 --> 00:20:33.029 fucking like contingency and we've walked into 00:20:33.029 --> 00:20:35.390 the trap and now they're fucking they're doing 00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:38.230 it they're they're the contingency is working 00:20:38.230 --> 00:20:42.069 the regime has survived a full decapitation strike 00:20:42.069 --> 00:20:47.000 it has survived The majority of its upper leadership 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.740 at the time the war started being fucking killed. 00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:54.119 And it's still going. It's still happening. So 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.720 that's what they've been waiting on. And I don't 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.099 believe for a second that they just would have 00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:03.779 been focusing on that. So I think that if we 00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:07.880 just get up and walk away, that's what I think 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.450 the move is. I think the solution to all this, 00:21:10.470 --> 00:21:12.589 at least for the United States to be better for 00:21:12.589 --> 00:21:16.109 us, is just to get up and walk away. Now, what 00:21:16.109 --> 00:21:19.690 does that do to us globally? Well, that ends 00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:21.650 the U .S. hedge money altogether. It's done. 00:21:21.750 --> 00:21:25.309 The petrodollar, done. We are past the point 00:21:25.309 --> 00:21:28.250 of no return where no matter what happens now, 00:21:28.430 --> 00:21:31.690 we will feel the effects of it and it will be 00:21:31.690 --> 00:21:35.500 bad. It depends how long this continues, how 00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.579 bad it's going to be. But we're already past 00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:39.720 the point of no return. The petrodollar is fucking 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.059 toast. This has now proven that we cannot do 00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:49.079 what we said we can do. And unless we do completely 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.660 end up just decimating the fucking Iranian regime 00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:54.039 and reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.900 al -Mandab Strait by force, if we don't go in 00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:01.420 at anything short of that, we're toast. So even 00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:04.400 if we get up now and walk away, the U .S. dollar's 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.579 dead. The petrodollar's done. Because now, what 00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:12.980 we're looked at by the rest of the world is now, 00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:16.019 okay, these guys kind of started this shit, and 00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:19.500 now they can't really finish it. We've been paying 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:21.359 them and basically going along with their scheme 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.640 for protection. Well, if they can't even fucking 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.579 open up this fucking one waterway, how the fuck 00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:29.240 are we, what are we doing here? We need to go 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.240 to somewhere that's safer or somewhere that's 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.779 a safe bet. And that's China. That's the yuan. 00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.579 That's the bricks, whatever the fuck they're 00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:42.660 going to come up with. And people are already, 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.299 countries are already starting to turn away from 00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.299 the petrodollar. Now, the Saudis are heavily 00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:53.099 relying upon it. The Qataris, the Omanis, the 00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:55.779 Emiratis, they're generally pretty heavily. We've 00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:57.460 gotten them into the system, the petrodollar 00:22:57.460 --> 00:23:01.519 system, and they're reliant. So they're probably 00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.059 going to heavily be getting involved if this 00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:07.839 thing continues, because if it if it fails and 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.279 we don't take down Iran completely, then their 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.759 countries are probably going to be screwed for 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.609 a while. And they're going to have major financial 00:23:18.609 --> 00:23:20.230 problems just like we're going to have here. 00:23:20.769 --> 00:23:24.950 And that major financial problems are the death 00:23:24.950 --> 00:23:28.130 knell of any Middle Eastern regime, because how 00:23:28.130 --> 00:23:31.769 they usually take care of it, they just pay the 00:23:31.769 --> 00:23:34.230 populace more money. But you got to have money 00:23:34.230 --> 00:23:36.609 to do that. And if the fucking petrodollar turns 00:23:36.609 --> 00:23:39.369 to shit, their country currency turns to shit. 00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:41.569 And now they can't fucking give anybody more 00:23:41.569 --> 00:23:43.690 money because it doesn't matter how much money 00:23:43.690 --> 00:23:48.069 you give. You're fucked. And so why they pivoted 00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:53.029 to tourism. Yeah, that is because they well, 00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:55.730 they realize that, well, this this this game 00:23:55.730 --> 00:23:58.190 is probably up, but they're still going to have 00:23:58.190 --> 00:23:59.950 the problems. This shit is still going down. 00:24:00.009 --> 00:24:03.190 And if you look at an indicator of this shit, 00:24:03.250 --> 00:24:05.470 if you look at the guy who's the secretary of 00:24:05.470 --> 00:24:08.650 the Treasury, Scott Besant. He always looks like 00:24:08.650 --> 00:24:10.650 he's fucking worried or he's scared or he's about 00:24:10.650 --> 00:24:12.369 to take like he can't shit or something like 00:24:12.369 --> 00:24:15.029 he's constipated or whatever. He always has this 00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.809 fucking look of consternation on his face. And 00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:20.569 I think the reason for that is because he sees 00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:22.789 what's going on from the financial perspective. 00:24:23.369 --> 00:24:27.359 And who knows if he. understands or knows what's 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.099 going on on the the conflict or the the the fucking 00:24:30.099 --> 00:24:33.019 kinetic side but that's kind of irrelevant he 00:24:33.019 --> 00:24:35.319 can see what the results are on the fucking financial 00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.500 side and and i think he's genuinely fucking concerned 00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:41.140 because this shit's all about to come this house 00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:43.079 of cards that we've built is about to come crashing 00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:47.519 fucking down yeah and that's gonna be a fucking 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.339 gonna be a problem It's going to be a fucking 00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:52.460 problem. And in the United States, we are going 00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:55.279 to go through. And here's the thing who I don't 00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.859 know. I they were saying about how the there 00:25:00.859 --> 00:25:03.220 was some fucking indicator. I forget which one 00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:05.259 it was, but they were talking about how. Oh, 00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.200 yeah. If like this, if this thing, if the inflation 00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.119 or something happens or hits a certain point, 00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:15.670 then we're basically, you know. Going into an 00:25:15.670 --> 00:25:18.509 unprecedented economic collapse that would be 00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:20.309 worse than the Great Depression and it would 00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:23.609 be on a global scale. And that's exactly literally 00:25:23.609 --> 00:25:25.930 where we're headed. Like we're literally headed 00:25:25.930 --> 00:25:28.170 towards that right now as we speak with this 00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:31.029 conflict continuing to keep going. And I don't 00:25:31.029 --> 00:25:33.289 know if people realize it or see it, but like 00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:36.470 today alone, you know, I just I was just driving 00:25:36.470 --> 00:25:38.789 through driving around and the cost of diesel 00:25:38.789 --> 00:25:40.710 here in Southern California is almost eight dollars 00:25:40.710 --> 00:25:44.759 a gallon again. gasoline is getting back up above 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:49.559 $6 a gallon again. And we're getting closer to 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.200 that point where now we have 308 million barrels 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.019 left in the strategic reserve. And as everything 00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:57.839 that's kind of now been starting to come out, 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.619 300 million barrels is that kind of cutoff where 00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:03.500 now we start getting into the problems of being 00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:06.420 able to refill it and being able to extract it. 00:26:06.970 --> 00:26:08.990 And the one thing that I didn't think about, 00:26:09.089 --> 00:26:11.150 which was I heard today was some guy kind of 00:26:11.150 --> 00:26:13.789 just brought it up and very briefly was that 00:26:13.789 --> 00:26:17.730 the quality of that low of that 300 million, 00:26:17.769 --> 00:26:20.109 that bottom 300 million barrels has been sitting 00:26:20.109 --> 00:26:23.829 in there for a long time. And the quality of 00:26:23.829 --> 00:26:27.569 it. Is very poor. So once we get below 300 million 00:26:27.569 --> 00:26:29.950 barrels. Now you start being able to not really 00:26:29.950 --> 00:26:32.869 do much with it. Now you can't really make those 00:26:32.869 --> 00:26:36.109 advanced jet fuels. That we use to make it out 00:26:36.109 --> 00:26:39.450 of crude oil. You can't really make regular gasoline 00:26:39.450 --> 00:26:42.930 out of it anymore. It's kind of a stretch to 00:26:42.930 --> 00:26:46.849 even make fucking diesel fuel out of it. So we 00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:49.190 only got 8 million barrels left. And we dropped 00:26:49.190 --> 00:26:51.410 another I think like 4 or 5 million this week. 00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.160 So we've got probably another week or two. Before 00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:55.700 we start getting into the, okay, we're releasing 00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:59.380 the shit that's bad. So we are probably looking 00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:01.740 at like August, September. Probably September 00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:05.799 being when the fuel storages really start being 00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.160 a problem. And there not being commercial availability. 00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:12.740 And the big thing is jet fuel. That's the big 00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:14.279 thing that's going to hurt us here. People ain't 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.039 going to be able to fly. Because you can't fly 00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:17.519 if there ain't no fucking gas. Like if there 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.130 ain't no jet fuel, the plane can't go. So I have 00:27:21.130 --> 00:27:22.869 a feeling we're going to start seeing a lot of 00:27:22.869 --> 00:27:25.829 fucking problems start hitting when it comes 00:27:25.829 --> 00:27:29.430 to that in the next couple of months. And that's 00:27:29.430 --> 00:27:31.990 my thought and prediction, unless we can go in 00:27:31.990 --> 00:27:33.930 and just fucking by force open up the straight 00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:36.569 and get everything flowing. It's not going to 00:27:36.569 --> 00:27:37.849 be an instant fix. There's still going to be 00:27:37.849 --> 00:27:40.410 a little bit of strife and trouble, but it'll 00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:45.450 be better than nothing. So at any rate, it will 00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:47.589 affect us. It's going it's getting to that point 00:27:47.589 --> 00:27:51.019 now where this conflict. Afghanistan, Iraq, that 00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:53.039 shit really didn't fucking affect us here much 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.880 at home, right? And there is not a generation 00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:01.799 that was really alive to see a war affect them 00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.700 here in the United States at home, to affect 00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:08.400 us here. Vietnam, I mean, didn't really have 00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.759 any economic or whatever. Yeah, we had people 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.400 protesting about peace and shit like that, but 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.700 there were really no major negative side effects. 00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:19.779 of vietnam right like we didn't have any major 00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:24.220 economic problems probably world war ii would 00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:26.539 have been the one that we the last generation 00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:30.759 that saw strife here due to a conflict Was probably 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.700 World War II. Because yes there were shortages 00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:35.119 of stuff. You had to start growing your own food. 00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:37.259 That's why they had the whole victory gardens 00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:39.299 thing. Because they had a shortage. Everything 00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:41.579 needed to go to the war effort. So cool. Grow 00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:43.380 your own food. That was what the government's 00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:45.400 fucking solution was. Just grow your own shit 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.420 in your yard. So we can send it overseas. All 00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:50.619 the other shit overseas to the troops. And feed 00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:54.119 them. So yeah that was people that were alive. 00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:57.200 During World War II. And can remember. There's 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.869 very few of them left. So. Not a whole lot of 00:29:00.869 --> 00:29:03.269 people in the United States remember what it 00:29:03.269 --> 00:29:06.150 feels like to be affected in that way. And I 00:29:06.150 --> 00:29:08.230 think a lot of people are in for a rude awakening. 00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:12.910 And it's that meme that we always say, all the 00:29:12.910 --> 00:29:15.450 people who voted for fucking Trump, oh no, the 00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:18.890 consequences of my own actions. That's exactly 00:29:18.890 --> 00:29:21.089 what it is. It's the consequences of your own 00:29:21.089 --> 00:29:22.950 actions. Now they're coming back to bite us all 00:29:22.950 --> 00:29:25.450 in the ass. Because you guys thought it was a 00:29:25.450 --> 00:29:28.640 cool guy thing and you fell for the tricks. Drink 00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.680 the Kool -Aid. Yep, drink the Kool -Aid. So anyways, 00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:34.519 I don't see it getting better. And my prediction 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:36.420 is that this weekend, I feel like this weekend 00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.720 is when it's going to hit. We're going to start 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.980 hitting those fucking targets, those infrastructure 00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:42.519 targets, and shit's going to pop off. I feel 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.400 like Saturday is probably like tomorrow night. 00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:48.500 I feel like it's going to happen. But we'll see. 00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:50.500 We'll see how it goes. Hopefully they're just 00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:53.359 talking shit. So anyways, I think that's all 00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:54.759 I had to say about this. Do you have anything 00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.490 else you want to add? oh man i have no idea i've 00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:04.869 been thinking about it where um i'm curious to 00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:09.809 know if nature itself or maybe it's just humans 00:30:09.809 --> 00:30:14.309 doing it because it's our in our nature to do 00:30:14.309 --> 00:30:18.430 it but fuck man i do wonder if it's that thing 00:30:18.430 --> 00:30:21.490 that everybody says it's like oh yeah the uh 00:30:23.210 --> 00:30:27.430 every so often we have a calling event like what 00:30:27.430 --> 00:30:30.329 what if what if uh every hundred years we really 00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:34.029 do have a calling event because the population 00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:39.990 at large is so untenable for humans that it just 00:30:39.990 --> 00:30:43.430 becomes problematic and i'm not saying i don't 00:30:43.430 --> 00:30:46.990 know if like nations organize for things to go 00:30:46.990 --> 00:30:55.480 uh For them to plan as if things could go wrong. 00:30:55.539 --> 00:31:01.660 Specifically for the U .S., right? There's 330 00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:04.180 million people. I don't even know what the actual 00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:07.140 number is of human beings within the United States 00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:11.779 that are citizens. So what do you do to curb 00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:17.160 our population? You instigate a war to crash 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.890 the economy. You allow corporations to purchase 00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:24.690 damn near everything and make obscene amount 00:31:24.690 --> 00:31:27.910 of money or obscene amount of money or obscene. 00:31:27.910 --> 00:31:30.289 Is it obscene or obscene? Obscene, yeah. Obscene 00:31:30.289 --> 00:31:33.630 amount of money. Obscene amounts of money. Obscene 00:31:33.630 --> 00:31:39.650 amounts of money. You have private corporations 00:31:39.650 --> 00:31:47.079 buying private farms. And then. You basically 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:51.420 invalidate our whole political system and have 00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:54.900 corporations kind of dictate what happens with 00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:59.460 it because they could basically influence any 00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:02.279 politician to do exactly what they want, which 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:03.799 is exactly what has happened. We're becoming 00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:09.019 kind of like a dysfunctional government at this 00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:12.900 point. I mean, it's long overdue. It was, like, 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.160 a long time coming, basically. But all that really 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.640 to say that just within exclusively the United 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.160 States, you really didn't need to have mass murderings 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.819 or anything like that. I mean, that also happens 00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:27.539 to shootings and all that shit. But, like, if 00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:29.119 you really want to put the hurt on people, do 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.259 it economically, and they'll fucking find a way 00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:34.859 to kill themselves or do shit like that. I mean, 00:32:34.859 --> 00:32:37.369 because... It's been said that the number one 00:32:37.369 --> 00:32:39.450 reason for crime is usually poverty. So it's 00:32:39.450 --> 00:32:41.650 like when people go out and riot and do all like 00:32:41.650 --> 00:32:46.049 you're really inciting people to commit crime, 00:32:46.049 --> 00:32:48.650 violence, all that shit. So here we are. We're 00:32:48.650 --> 00:32:51.809 going to have that scenario if it was indirectly 00:32:51.809 --> 00:32:56.299 or directly. influenced by, I don't know if you 00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:57.900 want to call it the elite or the Illuminati or 00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:59.559 whatever the fuck you want to call it. And then 00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.500 maybe it's not them at all. Maybe it's just kind 00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.559 of like the natural order of the world that it 00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.680 just happens that way. But like, just speaking 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.220 about the U S specifically, like intentionally 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:11.039 crashing the economy for, for people just to 00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.480 really fucking feel it and potentially die. Like 00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.420 we don't, we didn't need guns, dude. Like that's 00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:19.400 just going to be, I'm sure this whole funding 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.500 of like snap benefits being taken and wick and 00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:25.569 all this shit. That's going to hurt and kill 00:33:25.569 --> 00:33:29.109 a lot of kids already. Taking any kind of Medicare, 00:33:29.329 --> 00:33:33.069 another calling situation. Yeah, so I don't know. 00:33:33.329 --> 00:33:35.170 Well, I think that you're right. I think you're 00:33:35.170 --> 00:33:37.150 right on the money, and I think that it all ties 00:33:37.150 --> 00:33:40.190 in. If you make it so that people can't afford 00:33:40.190 --> 00:33:42.690 to fucking eat, and then you turn off the fucking 00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:45.609 power, that's a recipe for fucking disaster. 00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:51.990 And the problem is we're too fucking stupid as 00:33:51.990 --> 00:33:58.039 a whole. To realize what's going on and to unite 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.240 together. And I've said this before a thousand 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.859 times. It doesn't matter. Black, white, yellow, 00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:10.179 green, Jew, non -Jew, Muslim, whatever. The fucking 00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:14.880 biggest dividing color is green. It's money. 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.650 It's the haves and the have -nots. And there's 00:34:17.650 --> 00:34:20.289 always more of us have -nots, the peasant class. 00:34:20.630 --> 00:34:23.030 There's way more of us than there is of the elite 00:34:23.030 --> 00:34:25.670 ruling class. And at least here in America, we 00:34:25.670 --> 00:34:28.050 own the most guns per capita of any fucking country 00:34:28.050 --> 00:34:30.929 on the planet. And the whole reason our whole 00:34:30.929 --> 00:34:33.949 existence was created was like, hey, if the government 00:34:33.949 --> 00:34:35.389 starts fucking up, you guys should have these 00:34:35.389 --> 00:34:37.389 things so you can fucking kill them all and take 00:34:37.389 --> 00:34:39.730 over and reset this shit. That's the whole point. 00:34:40.190 --> 00:34:44.809 And here we are. Even fucking the Civil War back 00:34:44.809 --> 00:34:48.210 in the 1800s, it wasn't over. It was over fucking 00:34:48.210 --> 00:34:50.750 business. It was a it was economic. It was a 00:34:50.750 --> 00:34:53.650 business fucking reason because of slavery. And 00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:55.289 they didn't want to give up the slaves because 00:34:55.289 --> 00:34:57.690 they wanted the free fucking labor so they can 00:34:57.690 --> 00:35:00.769 make huge profits. That corporatism was already 00:35:00.769 --> 00:35:03.670 existing back then in fucking the 1800s. It was 00:35:03.670 --> 00:35:05.469 just a plantation owner instead of a corporation. 00:35:05.489 --> 00:35:11.110 Right. So it's it's become a much bigger and 00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:16.440 much worse monster than even that. And so if 00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.280 we all could just figure it out and band together 00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.179 and realize, oh, that's the problem. It's the 00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:23.000 it's the fucking top one percent or five percent 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.159 or whatever. Those are the fucking that's the 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:26.840 problem. Cool. We got to get rid of that shit. 00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:28.860 We got to get rid of these huge corporations 00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:30.840 and we got to stop their era. We don't need to 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.320 get rid of them, maybe, but we need to stop their 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.599 influence. Right. And so I think that it all 00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.940 ties in to put a nice little tight bow on it 00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:41.619 is this is coming. This is the coming end of 00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:43.860 an empire. Right. Our American empire is coming 00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:47.610 to an end. This grand experiment of the United 00:35:47.610 --> 00:35:51.690 States was fucking great for 200 fucking years, 00:35:51.829 --> 00:35:55.230 250 years almost. And now it has kind of started 00:35:55.230 --> 00:35:57.050 to go off of the fucking rails. Yeah, it makes 00:35:57.050 --> 00:36:00.050 me wonder if it was too big to work, like if 00:36:00.050 --> 00:36:03.530 it should have just been territories like I don't 00:36:03.530 --> 00:36:06.030 want to like point to the movie Civil War, but 00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:08.409 I don't know. Maybe the union was just too much 00:36:08.409 --> 00:36:11.070 of a big dream. Maybe it should have been like 00:36:11.070 --> 00:36:14.480 Europe where. every individual country is its 00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.039 own state and nation but there was a collective 00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:20.500 I mean I guess it would be like in my estimation 00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:23.920 it would be like Cascadia as people have mentioned 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:27.579 like Seattle Washington California maybe Arizona 00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:30.320 and Nevada would be included in that yeah that 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.659 would be one region and then Texas would be its 00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:37.400 own thing yeah but we all would operate in similar 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.760 mindsets I mean if people in Texas and Oklahoma 00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:47.460 and Louisiana and fucking whatever adjacent states 00:36:47.460 --> 00:36:50.099 want to align and do that. Maybe that should 00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:51.800 have been the way to go from the get -go because 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.920 as it is right now, it ain't fucking working. 00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:57.880 It ain't fucking working. And it ain't going 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.699 to matter soon enough, it seems like. So anyways, 00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:03.380 all right, well, that's all I had. So you got 00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:05.500 anything else you want to add? All right, we'll 00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:08.079 call it a day. Go find us on all our shit.
