Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:07.259
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.839
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you

00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.140
through the parts of your day you normally dread.

00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:16.579
Why suffer through the existential crisis of

00:00:16.579 --> 00:00:20.140
life alone when you can do it with us? And now

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:23.179
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.239
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics

00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.480
that dance that line like a toddler dances on

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.800
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.289
I. For immature audiences only. In a show of

00:00:32.289 --> 00:00:34.990
force, after first stating that he would give

00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:37.929
them two weeks, America has initiated a strike

00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:40.929
on Iran, thereby proving the president had no

00:00:40.929 --> 00:00:43.609
intention of edging himself for that long. The

00:00:43.609 --> 00:00:45.210
strikes were carried out by a group of freedom

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:48.890
Doritos, dropping groups of MOPs, moist oral

00:00:48.890 --> 00:00:51.530
penetrators, and a couple of subs firing Tomahawk

00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:53.990
missiles like it was the Fourth of July. Welcome

00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:55.810
to the Now We Consume podcast. I'm your host,

00:00:55.869 --> 00:00:57.789
Pip. Here, as always, with my co -host, Gibbs.

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.640
You mentioned the president edging himself. I

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.239
don't like this. I don't like your intro. Once

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.019
again, I don't like that. It was the most beautiful

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:17.700
edging ever in the history of ever. I think I'm

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.140
good. I think I'm taking a leave of absence.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.879
Melania, come here. I need you to help me with

00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.459
the edging. You know, I would give him credit

00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:29.200
if he could still get it up at his age. Like

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.239
that is that is a life goal of mine at that age.

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:36.739
But to be 75 and still walking around just penis

00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:40.900
first. Yes. I need to break my dick off when

00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:44.420
I run into a door and not my nose. God, so you're

00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:45.560
gonna be that weird guy that walks around with

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.219
a leash and don't want to have to tell women

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:53.040
why. Uh -huh. I walk myself. Thank you. Jesus.

00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.859
So a quick side note, we are going to be talking

00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:57.640
about all the bullshit going on in the Middle

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.579
East this week, but we are dropping two episodes

00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:03.540
this week. The one you're currently listening

00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:07.299
to and one that was done last night. I had an

00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:10.500
opportunity to do an interview with some Gen

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:16.300
Z kids. Give it a chance. It actually turned

00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.680
out a lot better than I thought it would. My

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.650
son, Josh. A couple of his friends were involved.

00:02:23.229 --> 00:02:26.870
We had a good time. The episode went long enough,

00:02:27.129 --> 00:02:29.789
or the interview rather, went long enough to

00:02:29.789 --> 00:02:32.449
be a whole episode in and of itself. We were

00:02:32.449 --> 00:02:35.810
going to include it as a bonus extra at the end

00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:38.949
of this episode, but we decided to just go ahead

00:02:38.949 --> 00:02:42.289
and give it its whole own show listing. So it

00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:45.210
is audio only. They were cool with doing the

00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:46.889
interview, but they did not want to do it on

00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:52.060
camera. So there is that. But check that out.

00:02:52.219 --> 00:02:56.800
It was a good time. And if Gibbs can keep his

00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.639
equipment together, we'll just keep going with

00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.539
the show. Sorry, my microphone condom fell off.

00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:04.740
The whole foam thing and everything just hit

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:06.680
me. That was weird. It scared the shit out of

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.000
me. I'm not used to a microphone attacking me.

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:10.780
Well, you know, when that piece falls off, now

00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:11.979
you're just going to have microphone babies.

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.479
So it's okay. I know. It's going to be weird.

00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:19.439
It's going to be loud. So, yeah. This has been

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.680
a fun week. We delivered a boatload of freedom

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.560
to Iran, and we're going to see what happens

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.020
now. Well, it's been an interesting development

00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:37.659
when I do have to give him a bit of credit that

00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:41.599
at least it was done in the probably least intrusive

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.840
way when it comes to American involvement. yeah

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.780
you know it's it's one of those things where

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:49.460
it had to happen i understand it we'll go over

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:51.580
the details but right i'm just glad at the end

00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:53.379
of the day no american lives have been lost in

00:03:53.379 --> 00:03:55.740
that and that's actually a big step up from almost

00:03:55.740 --> 00:03:57.639
every single other gauge we had the middle east

00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.180
exactly so and uh one little point of note or

00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:04.960
note of point rather uh this is everything that

00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.199
we know and have access to as of the evening

00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.560
of june 23rd 2025 when we're recording this uh

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.460
in fact Right before we started the episode,

00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:20.660
we caught a major update. And it was enough to

00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.800
even make us question doing the episode. But

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.480
after talking with each other, we felt there

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:31.079
was still enough going on that it was worth continuing

00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.279
on with. We did have to change a little bit of

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.860
the topic information, but there's still... Maybe

00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:45.680
not so much fire and smoke, but there are still

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.720
enough other maybe tertiary threats or ancillary

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.600
threats at least. So we're going to kind of focus

00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.279
on those a little more than we were going to

00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.139
focus on all the stuff with Iran and Israel themselves.

00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.160
So there's still so much surrounding this and

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.389
this is this problem of Iran. It has really been

00:05:07.389 --> 00:05:09.930
a problem since the mid -late 90s, and the fact

00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:11.850
that it's still not going away. This is a Band

00:05:11.850 --> 00:05:13.730
-Aid, so I think there's a lot more outside of

00:05:13.730 --> 00:05:16.990
this to discuss. Sure, the strike on the nuclear

00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:18.829
research facility and development facility went

00:05:18.829 --> 00:05:23.689
well, but that's a small bit of a large piece

00:05:23.689 --> 00:05:27.430
that has to do with the Middle East. So just

00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:32.069
about an hour ago at this point, it came out

00:05:32.069 --> 00:05:35.529
that a ceasefire agreement has been reached.

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.319
So that is a major step forward in this whole

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:46.620
ordeal. I sent that to you, Gibbs. Yes. Yeah.

00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:50.279
So I basically from on the 24th or the morning

00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.120
of the 24th here on the East Coast, basically

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.720
there will be an effective ceasefire. Yeah. Between

00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.120
Iran and Israel. Yes. And from what he was. I

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.519
don't know if you want me to read it or just

00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.920
go ahead. Summary. Yeah. I was going to say.

00:06:05.979 --> 00:06:07.500
Because I just wanted the words right here cuz

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:08.699
I think some of the words here a bit important

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:10.959
with what's used He says, you know, congratulations

00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.540
This is on this transpose from truth social because

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:14.839
it's not on Twitter or anything like that. You

00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.019
have to go there to get it That's correct. Congratulations

00:06:17.019 --> 00:06:19.660
to everyone it has been fully agreed by between

00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.579
Israel and Iran that there will be a complete

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:24.339
and total ceasefire and Approximately six hours

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.079
from now or basically in the morning of the 24th

00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.600
Between Israel and Iran have wound down and completed

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.569
their progress final missions For 12 hours, at

00:06:32.569 --> 00:06:34.129
which point the war will be considered ended

00:06:34.129 --> 00:06:37.490
officially, that Iran will start the ceasefire,

00:06:37.569 --> 00:06:39.269
and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the

00:06:39.269 --> 00:06:41.490
ceasefire, and upon the 24th hour, an official

00:06:41.490 --> 00:06:45.269
end to the 12 -day war will be saluted by the

00:06:45.269 --> 00:06:47.910
world. Basically, he's just talking about there's

00:06:47.910 --> 00:06:53.230
an effective ceasefire in place. But the concern

00:06:53.230 --> 00:06:58.089
here is, number one, will both sides honor it?

00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:01.629
Will there be any shenanigans going on afterwards?

00:07:03.170 --> 00:07:07.430
Or is this just a stopgap measure? Because the

00:07:07.430 --> 00:07:09.829
problem has been with Iran, again, really since

00:07:09.829 --> 00:07:13.430
the 90s, is we've heard this for, I want to say

00:07:13.430 --> 00:07:18.529
every election cycle since Bush v. Gore back

00:07:18.529 --> 00:07:20.889
in 2000, it's been every single election cycle

00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:22.990
is Iran is one or two years away from nukes.

00:07:23.029 --> 00:07:24.870
Iran is one or two years away. They're going

00:07:24.870 --> 00:07:27.509
to drop the nukes. And it's like, yes, I 100

00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:30.069
% understand Iran. Just for some background for

00:07:30.069 --> 00:07:33.269
everybody, they are the biggest sponsor of terrorism

00:07:33.269 --> 00:07:36.189
in the world. They're responsible for millions

00:07:36.189 --> 00:07:38.269
of deaths. They're responsible for billions and

00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:40.329
trillions of dollars worth of destruction. Most

00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:42.610
of those terrorism groups that we've seen internationally,

00:07:42.970 --> 00:07:46.009
either a majority or a large part of the money

00:07:46.009 --> 00:07:47.790
and funding and weapons, everything comes from

00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:51.250
Iran. And Iran has relatively close ties with

00:07:51.250 --> 00:07:55.009
Russia and China. So in a way, it's another proxy

00:07:55.009 --> 00:07:57.220
war, just like you had Vietnam and Korea. to

00:07:57.220 --> 00:08:00.920
where they are the proxy of the Eastern powers

00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.000
like Russia and China. So that's why Israel's

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.399
kind of our proxy in the West, you know, for

00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.699
America and kind of parts of Europe for the Middle

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:12.660
East. So it's been this proxy war for well over

00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:17.000
20 years. And it's been building to a moment

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.879
of what will happen. And this has been kind of

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.480
the boiling point of a decision had to be made.

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.170
The good news. The strike went well. And I don't

00:08:26.170 --> 00:08:30.769
know if you saw the photos of what was. So there's

00:08:30.769 --> 00:08:32.289
a bit of background to this because I want to

00:08:32.289 --> 00:08:36.210
explain something. There were topographical changes

00:08:36.210 --> 00:08:41.409
made to that mountaintop in Fordow. The geology

00:08:41.409 --> 00:08:43.809
will never be the same in that area. It is permanently

00:08:43.809 --> 00:08:47.129
changed. So here's some background information.

00:08:47.649 --> 00:08:50.929
Back in the mid to early 2000s, we were developing

00:08:50.929 --> 00:08:54.559
some of the armor penetrating bombs. or called

00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.659
bunker busters, essentially. So we had those

00:08:57.659 --> 00:09:00.519
developed and it was public knowledge that they

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.820
could go about 200 to 250 feet down. So the Iranians

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:06.539
thinking they're smart, they're like, oh, we're

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:09.519
going to build us three to 400 feet down. They

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.820
forgot that we're really good at making things

00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:14.840
that go boom and putting it right in your face.

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:18.799
Also, we're really good at aiming. Well, yeah,

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:21.600
especially nowadays with the GPS guided stuff

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:22.740
that they have, they can get it within a few

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:26.990
inches. So they spent all this time in all these

00:09:26.990 --> 00:09:29.649
years building this secret underground nuclear

00:09:29.649 --> 00:09:32.730
bunker thinking we're safe. We're good. There's

00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:36.750
only going down 250 feet. You dumb shits. Do

00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:39.429
you understand that that was over a decade ago

00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:42.370
when those came out? And they're like, oh yeah,

00:09:42.409 --> 00:09:44.129
we're fine. We're a threat to anybody. Yeah,

00:09:44.149 --> 00:09:47.769
no. Absolutely not. The bombers were already

00:09:47.769 --> 00:09:50.129
on the way back before anyone even knew they

00:09:50.129 --> 00:09:53.200
were there. That's how effective they were. There

00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.059
were no radar signatures figured out. Nobody

00:09:55.059 --> 00:09:57.299
called it. Nobody, nothing. Nobody leaked anything

00:09:57.299 --> 00:10:01.340
on Slack. No, which is interesting, by the way,

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:04.639
that Trump purposefully didn't tell anybody.

00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:07.720
Yeah. That was happening. It was literally like

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:12.220
five people that knew. Which, and can I make

00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:13.700
a quick point here? Because I think people need

00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:17.460
to understand. This is a slight point into politics

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.779
that I think we do have to discuss as a bit of

00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:23.779
a framework here. The president is allowed. He

00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:25.899
is the commander in chief of the military. He

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:28.639
has the sole authority to move the military as

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.580
seen fit with these kind of missions and sorties

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:34.860
and kind of different responsibilities. He does

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.460
not need Congress's permission to do something

00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:40.100
like this. It is not official declaration of

00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:43.500
war. Doesn't he have like 30 days after he initiates

00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:45.759
some kind of like military engagement before

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.710
he has to seek approval to? Correct. Yeah, that's

00:10:49.710 --> 00:10:52.929
what I thought it was. I thought it was two weeks

00:10:52.929 --> 00:10:55.429
in some cases, but usually about a month. Now,

00:10:55.450 --> 00:10:57.190
there's a reason for this historical context,

00:10:57.250 --> 00:10:58.730
because I want to give people this to understand

00:10:58.730 --> 00:11:01.950
why. It is because our founding fathers came

00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:03.549
from England to where they were used to parliamentary

00:11:03.549 --> 00:11:06.629
procedure, where when a war would break out or

00:11:06.629 --> 00:11:08.409
something would happen, the parliament would

00:11:08.409 --> 00:11:11.549
be busy arguing for weeks before anything was

00:11:11.549 --> 00:11:14.460
ever done. In the case of the French and Indian

00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:16.480
War and a few other things that happened between

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.100
other major powers, they saw that parliamentary

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:20.159
procedure, quite frankly, took too long. So that's

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.320
why the executive branch has sole authority over

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.620
the military. So for anybody online that's saying,

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:25.779
oh, he doesn't have the authority to do that,

00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:26.759
he doesn't have the authority to declare war.

00:11:26.860 --> 00:11:28.700
First of all, he did not declare war. And second

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:30.039
of all, he is the commander in chief. He can

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.240
do what he wants. Third of all, you guys know

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.960
that Obama did that well over 600, 700 times.

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.340
Biden did that over 200 times. George Bush did

00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:42.879
that thousands of times. almost every president

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.360
i can keep going down the list i can get you

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.679
numbers but almost all of them have ordered strikes

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.480
in countries that we are not at war with it is

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.240
unfortunate that because i disagree with it fundamentally

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:57.399
it's an unfortunate part of i guess american

00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.580
politics that we're kind of forced into i don't

00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:02.679
agree with the idea of dropping bombs on any

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:04.139
other country that we're not at war with because

00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:05.620
quite frankly we don't need to be the world police

00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:07.639
you don't need to be you know the military force

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.210
of the world team america but but At the same

00:12:12.210 --> 00:12:15.129
point, this became one of those problems of,

00:12:15.169 --> 00:12:17.070
well, do we not do anything? Because Iran was

00:12:17.070 --> 00:12:20.250
also launching a lot of missiles at Israel. And

00:12:20.250 --> 00:12:21.870
I'm not a big defender of Israel. I'll be honest

00:12:21.870 --> 00:12:23.330
with you. I'm not one of those people that thinks

00:12:23.330 --> 00:12:26.190
we should sacrifice a bunch to defend them. But

00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:29.950
it enters the problem of their only ally in the

00:12:29.950 --> 00:12:32.909
region. So, like, it's one of those things that,

00:12:32.909 --> 00:12:35.289
like, they're not a great country, but, like,

00:12:35.330 --> 00:12:37.529
they're the only country that kind of has our

00:12:37.529 --> 00:12:40.480
backs. I guess we're kind of stuck there. I know

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.659
I'm getting a little lost in the weeds in politics,

00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:44.240
but I want to give some framework before we discuss

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.200
everything else because I feel like some people

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.240
are going to get hung up on, well, everything

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.279
is illegal. No, it's not. No, it's not. He's

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.820
perfectly within his rights as president to do

00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:54.899
this. So speaking of launching missiles, I would

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:59.039
like to point out a mere five hours prior to

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.360
this announcement of a ceasefire agreement, Iran

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:07.259
launched a dozen missiles at, I'm going to butcher

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:10.480
the pronunciation, Al Uded, I think it is, air

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.679
base in Qatar. Yes. The biggest air base in the

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.399
region, our base. They launched a dozen missiles

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.419
at our base. Now, they were all intercepted,

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:26.100
so no damage was done. But why are they launching

00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:31.039
missiles just before they're telling Trump, yeah,

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.000
hey, we're ready for peace? I personally, me,

00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.340
Pip. think that this is maybe some kind of a

00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:45.980
ploy to just bide their time. Reason being, just

00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:49.220
within the last couple days, they were threatening

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:53.399
to retaliate by means of terror attacks here

00:13:53.399 --> 00:14:01.080
in the States. What's next weekend? Well, no,

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:02.960
the weekend after is 4th of July. That's this

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.909
weekend. No, that's what I'm saying. Next weekend.

00:14:05.990 --> 00:14:08.029
Not this coming weekend. Next weekend. Oh, no,

00:14:08.070 --> 00:14:09.590
you're right. Yeah. No, it's the 4th of July.

00:14:09.669 --> 00:14:14.370
Yeah. So I'm wondering, is that when they're

00:14:14.370 --> 00:14:16.570
going to get the wild hair up their ass? They've

00:14:16.570 --> 00:14:20.149
had years to plan. We've had years of open borders.

00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:22.850
They've had years of logistical support from

00:14:22.850 --> 00:14:25.190
other countries to just get into the country

00:14:25.190 --> 00:14:30.330
by other means through the ports. Oh, yeah. I

00:14:30.330 --> 00:14:33.470
could tinfoil hat my way and red string cork

00:14:33.470 --> 00:14:39.340
board. how all this shit could happen but i don't

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:40.740
think people want to sit here and listen to that

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:46.419
so i'm just saying it is a non -zero chance where

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:50.879
that's an absolute possibility uh one other point

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.820
of uh one other big point i would like to make

00:14:54.820 --> 00:15:00.559
this morning our time israel went into some of

00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.379
those sites that we hit. I don't think they,

00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:03.720
I don't know if they went to all three sites,

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.120
but I know they went to at least four dough.

00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.500
They went in boots on the ground. There was another

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:13.960
assault and they were also doing an onsite assessment

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.460
between the ground team and aerial surveillance.

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:24.379
One thing they did not find was the presence

00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:29.440
of radiation. So that concerns me for a couple

00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.559
of reasons. Either A, they did not actually have

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.480
any uranium, and this is like the second biggest

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:45.080
Intel foobar in U .S. history, or B, they moved

00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.840
all the uranium, and they still have it all,

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.759
which is why I'm concerned that this is them

00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.559
biding time. So here's a point I'd like to make.

00:15:55.870 --> 00:15:58.870
This is where I not only agree with you, but

00:15:58.870 --> 00:16:02.269
I'm even going to double down on it. Okay. Iran

00:16:02.269 --> 00:16:08.929
has been funding the Taliban and other guerrilla

00:16:08.929 --> 00:16:12.950
terrorist organizations for decades. They know

00:16:12.950 --> 00:16:17.049
how to maneuver and hide stuff. And they're especially

00:16:17.049 --> 00:16:19.450
experts at hiding things in mountainous areas

00:16:19.450 --> 00:16:21.289
where there's caves and caverns and other stuff

00:16:21.289 --> 00:16:25.470
and ways to maneuver things. I fully expected

00:16:25.470 --> 00:16:28.629
that they would have moved the uranium weeks

00:16:28.629 --> 00:16:31.169
ago. Yeah. Because why would they keep it there?

00:16:31.250 --> 00:16:33.549
As soon as that was made public that it was there,

00:16:33.649 --> 00:16:37.350
they probably already moved it. But we're playing

00:16:37.350 --> 00:16:41.950
a weird game of intelligence bingo where it's

00:16:41.950 --> 00:16:45.309
kind of. If we know where it's at, we can't say

00:16:45.309 --> 00:16:47.610
where it is, so we can't acknowledge what it

00:16:47.610 --> 00:16:48.889
is, because then they'll move it, then they know.

00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:50.830
It's like that problem of they know that we know

00:16:50.830 --> 00:16:52.490
that they know, so they know that we know, so

00:16:52.490 --> 00:16:54.649
we know that they know. It's that stupid fucking

00:16:54.649 --> 00:16:57.389
thing that happens every time. It's the Spider

00:16:57.389 --> 00:17:03.490
-Man memes. Oh, yeah. But that's the thing. If

00:17:03.490 --> 00:17:08.150
Trump is smart, he's playing a long game where...

00:17:09.060 --> 00:17:11.579
And hopefully he already knows where that's going

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:13.920
to be moved to. Right. So the idea is you get

00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.539
it out of where you don't want it to be and move

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:18.720
it to somewhere where you do want. Oh, what I'm

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.359
hoping, what I'm hoping is they're moving it

00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.259
to somewhere else that they think is secure,

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.079
that it's not. So here's my worry. I don't know.

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:31.000
I don't know if you heard from, um, Oh God, our,

00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:35.140
our intelligence, um, uh, the, she ran for president.

00:17:35.180 --> 00:17:37.339
What's her name? The military chick that ran

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:40.900
for president in the Democratic Party. I can't

00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:43.799
remember her name. Tulsi Gabbard. She mentioned,

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:47.740
so her issue was that Iran's nuclear program,

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:50.839
they had not quite refined uranium to the point

00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:52.920
for nuclear weapons, but it was refined to the

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.839
point for dirty bombs. So here's my bigger worry.

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.119
It's not that they were going to develop nuclear

00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.900
weapons, because to be honest with you, we have

00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:03.740
enough information to where if they launched

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:06.460
a nuclear missile, We can intercept or defeat

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:08.740
it or do something or negate part of it at least.

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.700
Well, it was never nuclear missiles we were worried

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:13.559
about. It was the truck bombs. It was the ship

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.859
bombs. It was the suitcase bombs. That's the

00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:18.240
stuff we've been worried about. And the dirty

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.759
bombs. Well, that's what I'm more concerned about,

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:23.839
to be honest with you, because it was at a level

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.819
to be classified under a dirty bomb. And I don't

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:28.480
know if you remember, but remember all the drone

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.160
testing that was doing supposedly around New

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.299
Jersey and everywhere else that they were looking

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:34.960
for radioactive material? Here's what I wonder,

00:18:35.059 --> 00:18:37.619
is I wonder if all the events that seemed unrelated

00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:39.740
for the last six months to a year actually are

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:41.700
related. Right. To where I wonder if we found

00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:44.160
out a couple of years ago, like, hey, by the

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.019
way, it seems like Iran's going to have the ability

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:48.900
to make a dirty bomb. Maybe we should run some

00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:52.009
tests to figure out how to be able to find. in

00:18:52.009 --> 00:18:54.250
thickly developed cities, thickly developed areas

00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:56.349
to be able to neutralize it or at least effectively

00:18:56.349 --> 00:18:59.690
figure it out. That's where I wonder where maybe

00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:01.289
was there some sort of prior planning with this?

00:19:01.349 --> 00:19:03.509
Have they been playing the long game where, hey,

00:19:03.650 --> 00:19:05.630
do they have people infiltrated that are trying

00:19:05.630 --> 00:19:07.190
to have it move to somewhere else that's out

00:19:07.190 --> 00:19:09.730
in the middle of nowhere? So let me tickle your

00:19:09.730 --> 00:19:12.589
noodle here for a second. The other day, there

00:19:12.589 --> 00:19:15.609
were some flights from China into Iran. They

00:19:15.609 --> 00:19:19.630
switched off their transponders. Yeah. Maybe

00:19:19.630 --> 00:19:23.109
that's where the uranium went. That's what I

00:19:23.109 --> 00:19:26.309
wonder. We do not know what was on those planes,

00:19:26.470 --> 00:19:31.049
either landing or taking off. I bet you U .S.

00:19:31.069 --> 00:19:33.750
intelligence knows, though, because we have satellites

00:19:33.750 --> 00:19:36.430
that can get imagery at any time. I bet you the

00:19:36.430 --> 00:19:39.329
intelligence community is aware of it, but they

00:19:39.329 --> 00:19:44.109
just can't say. Possibly. And if, I mean, that

00:19:44.109 --> 00:19:48.960
would be smart just to play dumb. Because that's

00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:50.900
exactly what I would do. If I was Trump's intelligence

00:19:50.900 --> 00:19:53.240
team, I wouldn't say shit. Oh, yeah. Learn everything

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.140
and say nothing. This is traditional. Speak softly.

00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.940
Carry a big stick. If they're smart. Here's my

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:05.359
concern as well with this. If we don't know where

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:08.559
it is. Then we're in trouble. The problem is,

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:13.400
well, yeah, because you're talking about the

00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:17.059
sleeper cell issue. Yes. Which. could become

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:20.359
catastrophic, especially with, again, our still

00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:22.980
lack of closed borders and our still terrible

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:26.980
immigration system. It could be the case of all

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:29.599
it takes is one of those in the wrong spot. And

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:31.619
it's not just a lot of people dying, it's a lot

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:33.099
of people having medical issues down the road.

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:35.859
It's generations of people not being able to

00:20:35.859 --> 00:20:38.160
procreate. It's entire areas of the country being

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.079
uninhabitable, just like another Chernobyl. So

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.539
I hope that they're taking this seriously enough

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:46.779
to where when they have not confirmed, the nuclear

00:20:46.779 --> 00:20:49.039
material being there that they need to figure

00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.400
out oh shit okay this is move this is here but

00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.119
i'm hoping they already are three steps ahead

00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.259
yeah because i would assume at this point we

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:59.720
have some intelligence officials in iran yeah

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.240
i mean we're getting intel from israel so we

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.200
hope that massage is as good as they say they

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:08.599
are uh but one other thing i want to point out

00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:13.220
um there have been reports that iranian manpad

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:18.200
missiles um MANPAD is Man Portable Aerial Defense

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:25.980
Missiles. They have confirmed, reportedly, through

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:29.220
apprehended couriers that the missile systems

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:33.900
were smuggled into America at some point through

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:36.400
the southern border over the last few years.

00:21:36.619 --> 00:21:39.519
So they have apprehended the people that were

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:43.299
smuggling the hardware. And to try to lessen

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:44.759
their sentence or whatever, they're just giving

00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:49.319
up intel and they're confirming these systems

00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.599
were smuggled in. These missiles are not just

00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.539
anti -air. You can use them dumbfire mode and

00:21:56.539 --> 00:22:01.319
engage bridges, trucks, buildings, anything.

00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.940
They can be tipped with material like those,

00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:13.809
the dirty bomb components. So, it's not that

00:22:13.809 --> 00:22:18.569
big of a stretch to say, again, the tinfoil hat

00:22:18.569 --> 00:22:22.250
and the red string corkboard. The possibilities

00:22:22.250 --> 00:22:25.589
are there. See, I don't really think it's that

00:22:25.589 --> 00:22:28.210
tinfoil hat -y, to be honest with you. Because

00:22:28.210 --> 00:22:30.450
we're talking about a country that literally

00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:34.529
their expertise is global terrorism. That's the

00:22:34.529 --> 00:22:36.670
one part about this that I think people are underplaying.

00:22:37.309 --> 00:22:39.769
It's not like you're dealing with like Kazakhstan

00:22:39.769 --> 00:22:41.769
or a country that like really doesn't have a

00:22:41.769 --> 00:22:43.890
lot of money and a lot of connections. You're

00:22:43.890 --> 00:22:46.910
talking about Iran, a country full of like, I

00:22:46.910 --> 00:22:48.750
think it's, you know what? I want to look this

00:22:48.750 --> 00:22:50.349
up right now because I forgot how many people

00:22:50.349 --> 00:22:52.170
because I looked it up earlier. I'll look up

00:22:52.170 --> 00:22:54.809
how many people are in Iran. I'm going to guess

00:22:54.809 --> 00:23:02.509
40 million. 90 .61. Wow. So the thing is, it's

00:23:02.509 --> 00:23:05.049
not a small country. It's like double the size

00:23:05.049 --> 00:23:07.759
of England. Right. Well, sorry, double the size

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.299
of Canada. England's like 60 million. So, like,

00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:12.400
you have a country double the size of Canada

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.079
in terms of population. That is a country that,

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:19.019
man, if you get 0 .01 % of them becoming extremists,

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.839
that's a big fighting force. That is no joke.

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:24.859
And especially with their backwards laws and

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:28.240
everything else they have there, it is something

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:32.519
of a concern. Yeah. And, I mean... Not only this.

00:23:32.619 --> 00:23:35.720
So you've got Israel and Iran. That whole situation

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:40.119
is its own ball of wax. You've still got Russia

00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.519
and Ukraine. You've got China with the potential

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.680
to take on Taiwan while everyone's distracted.

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.079
You've got North Korea who could take advantage

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:50.920
of this and just pull some shenanigans with South

00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:54.539
Korea. Just fucking because. Because that's Kim

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:57.960
Jong. I'm fucking five foot tall. You know what

00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.279
I was thinking about earlier? Do we have any

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.440
Pacific forces near Taiwan right now, or have

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:05.640
they moved all entirely to the Middle East? I

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.039
think they've got one force still over there.

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.759
I do not know that off the top of my head, but

00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:12.960
I think. Because I couldn't look it up earlier.

00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.740
Yeah. I was discussing with some of the guys

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:18.299
at work about it. I know they moved the Nimitz

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:23.200
from there. Yes. That's a potential false flag

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.119
operation right there just waiting to happen.

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:28.819
Oh, I was placing bets with friends about that

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:30.519
was going to be a false flag today. to get us

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.700
in the war. Well, they're, you know, they're,

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:35.380
the Nimitz is still on its way. So we got two

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:40.220
weeks, buddy. That's what worries me. That's

00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:41.579
what I'm talking about. The ceasefire just being

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:44.559
a, um, you know, cause then, cause then what

00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:46.440
they can say is that they put the Nimitz in,

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.970
they say it's a false flag. They say they're

00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:51.589
attacked, but it's really a false flag. And it

00:24:51.589 --> 00:24:53.950
justifies saying, ah, Iran's breaking the treaty

00:24:53.950 --> 00:24:55.750
quick. They put boots on the ground and then

00:24:55.750 --> 00:24:57.609
we're in another. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:24:57.609 --> 00:24:59.630
Fucking, you know. We'll never have boots on

00:24:59.630 --> 00:25:02.849
the ground in Iran. That country is way too shit

00:25:02.849 --> 00:25:06.690
to fight in. It's worse than Iraq. I know, but

00:25:06.690 --> 00:25:08.730
the problem is there's no way to secure it unless

00:25:08.730 --> 00:25:10.990
you put boots on the ground. Oh, no, this will

00:25:10.990 --> 00:25:17.930
be an air campaign. This is where drone warfare.

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.480
will come front and center. I just feel like

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.880
there's going to be so many civilians that will

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.539
be in the way. It's a country of 90 million that's

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:28.980
like half in the mountains. Like, dude, that's

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:32.700
going to be very tough to not have major civilian

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:35.299
casualties and that will demoralize American

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:38.240
and Western support. I think that's part of the

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:40.640
issue where they know they can just hide behind

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.119
civilians. So it's going to be another one of

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:48.339
those problems. You know? I mean... We let the

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:53.099
Freedom Dorito do its thing. We have the B -52s

00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:55.759
that can just carpet bomb the shit out of every

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.240
mountain range up there. We've got the new Mini

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:01.119
Doritos, too. We have the Mini Doritos. Yeah.

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:06.680
We have the Flying Raptors. Yeah. The Spicy Doritos.

00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:12.900
The Spicy Doritos, yeah. We have the drone programs.

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:19.150
I mean, it's possible. If we just stick to the

00:26:19.150 --> 00:26:22.170
small drones, we can do it. We've got the AI

00:26:22.170 --> 00:26:28.150
infrastructure now. We have kill drones. Yeah,

00:26:28.150 --> 00:26:30.789
but what if they have loyalist forces that are

00:26:30.789 --> 00:26:34.730
several million strong? We can 3D print drones.

00:26:34.869 --> 00:26:37.630
That's the nice thing. Ukraine's right fucking

00:26:37.630 --> 00:26:43.150
there. Poland is right fucking there. That's

00:26:43.150 --> 00:26:45.009
European Texas. They're like ready and raring

00:26:45.009 --> 00:26:49.950
to go. Well, what I guess I'm getting at is until

00:26:49.950 --> 00:26:52.309
they do a campaign to change the culture and

00:26:52.309 --> 00:26:54.549
change their minds, unfortunately, we have the

00:26:54.549 --> 00:26:55.769
same problem like we had in the Middle East where

00:26:55.769 --> 00:26:57.369
we're always going to be the bad guy even if

00:26:57.369 --> 00:27:00.890
we're trying to do the right thing. We can win

00:27:00.890 --> 00:27:03.329
the battle, but we'll lose the war. Literally

00:27:03.329 --> 00:27:06.630
the only way to do it, we have to take out the

00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:11.289
Ayatollah and push the people to rule themselves,

00:27:11.589 --> 00:27:15.529
period. They already want it. They're pushing

00:27:15.529 --> 00:27:17.430
for it, but they're still too afraid to do it

00:27:17.430 --> 00:27:20.950
for themselves. We take out the Ayatollah, encourage

00:27:20.950 --> 00:27:24.170
the people to do what they want to do. That will

00:27:24.170 --> 00:27:29.049
do it in the right direction. But there again,

00:27:29.210 --> 00:27:31.849
we're just back to Team America. World Police.

00:27:32.069 --> 00:27:33.809
That's all we're doing. Well, yeah, that's all

00:27:33.809 --> 00:27:36.470
we are. That's the only thing we're somewhat

00:27:36.470 --> 00:27:38.569
good at. And even then, we're not great at it.

00:27:41.009 --> 00:27:45.980
Yeah. You know, so I don't know. It's what I'm

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:49.819
concerned about is us raising effectively another

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:52.559
generation of people in a Middle Eastern country

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:54.000
that are going to hate the West for being the

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.880
West. Yeah. And unfortunately, we contributed

00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:01.440
to that problem for the last 30 years. So also,

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:03.680
to be fair, thanks, CIA, for fucking up the Middle

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:06.579
East, by the way. Appreciate that one. That falls

00:28:06.579 --> 00:28:09.700
squarely on your shoulders on that one. So I

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:11.579
guess that's what I'm surprised about is maybe

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:13.799
that we haven't been doing things a little bit

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:19.900
more in the background. Yeah. In Iran. But I

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:23.539
also I am no intelligence expert. So I military.

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.460
So I guess that's maybe why we're relying on

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:29.980
Israel so much. Because they're right there.

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:38.240
Yeah. So. I don't know. It's it's not an easy.

00:28:39.369 --> 00:28:41.509
It's not an easy answer. It's not a quick answer.

00:28:41.990 --> 00:28:44.930
We can hope that the ceasefire stuff holds true

00:28:44.930 --> 00:28:48.190
and that Iran plays by the rules and that they

00:28:48.190 --> 00:28:50.990
actually are willing to do this. Maybe they'll

00:28:50.990 --> 00:28:53.349
overthrow the Ayatollah themselves. That's the

00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:57.109
best case scenario, like literally. We just give

00:28:57.109 --> 00:28:59.569
aid and support to the people and they overthrow

00:28:59.569 --> 00:29:03.430
the Ayatollah themselves. They pull a Gaddafi.

00:29:04.890 --> 00:29:07.309
Which I think that's kind of our best option,

00:29:07.369 --> 00:29:09.839
to be honest with you. It really is. Because

00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.299
if we put boots on the ground there, it's going

00:29:12.299 --> 00:29:14.019
to be far bloodier than anything we saw in the

00:29:14.019 --> 00:29:16.559
Middle East. Yeah. It's going to drag out, and

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:18.079
it's going to be a big issue, especially with

00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:19.119
the amount of direct funding. None of us want

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.960
that. We just got out of the Middle East. We

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.140
do not want to go back in. Yeah. And this segues

00:29:26.140 --> 00:29:27.900
into the second part of the discussion that I

00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:31.960
did want to have, which is, again, this is a

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:33.940
little bit into politics, and I'm curious your

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:37.660
thoughts on it. To me, I feel like this almost

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:40.559
in a way has forced Trump to go against one of

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.160
the things that he ran on, which was no new wars.

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:44.700
And I know he's not declaring war. I'm aware

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:48.440
of it. But at the end of his first term, he was

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:50.519
able to sign three or four historic peace deals

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.900
and really stop a lot of war and violence. And

00:29:53.900 --> 00:29:56.380
this feels almost in a way a step backwards.

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:59.819
I understand that it had to happen. I get it.

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.519
I know. I understand that. But boy, does it feel

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.200
like for a lot of people that. voted for him

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:09.240
it it feels like a betrayal for a lot of people

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.720
because a lot of people that i've spoken to that

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.339
are more like moderates that did vote for him

00:30:12.339 --> 00:30:14.220
they're like man one of the big things was that

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:16.380
he he you know brought a lot of peace right and

00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:18.700
yes there is a chance this could bring more peace

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:21.400
in the long run right so that's so ambiguous

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:26.339
is the problem that's so i think that with him

00:30:26.339 --> 00:30:30.599
having been pushed out in the 2020 election it

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.960
railroaded a lot of the plans he had in place

00:30:35.139 --> 00:30:38.339
And so many other steps that he was making were

00:30:38.339 --> 00:30:42.160
pushed back and totally kicked off to the side.

00:30:42.779 --> 00:30:46.299
Had he been allowed to continue, I think it would

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:48.019
have made a big enough difference that this would

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:52.480
have never had to happen. True. I'd agree with

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.920
you. And with more revelations coming out, I

00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:58.440
don't know if you're seeing this, the stuff that

00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.299
I'm sending you or not. It looks like the 2020

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:05.579
election. may have actually been stolen and that's

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:08.500
a whole other topic for another episode and youtube

00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:10.900
do not come after us for that one we're using

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:13.359
the words may have possibly kind of sort of maybe

00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:16.759
yes this is not a violation of anything that

00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:20.799
is still free thought yes no claims are being

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.960
made here no i have to say that because youtube

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.039
literally you know the my pillow guy yeah oh

00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:28.500
yeah yeah he got sent to jail for making those

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:33.630
claims by the way That's free speech. Yeah, but

00:31:33.630 --> 00:31:35.650
they use defamation saying that, well, he was

00:31:35.650 --> 00:31:38.329
saying it was stolen. And so that company Dominion

00:31:38.329 --> 00:31:40.809
went after him. Oh, my God. So that's the only

00:31:40.809 --> 00:31:42.650
reason I'm trying to cover our bases here. Well,

00:31:42.750 --> 00:31:45.410
we're not accusing any company of doing anything.

00:31:45.869 --> 00:31:48.829
No, but I don't want YouTube to be like, ooh,

00:31:49.029 --> 00:31:52.750
look what they're doing. I know. I just don't

00:31:52.750 --> 00:31:54.569
want to write that. We're not making any money

00:31:54.569 --> 00:31:57.089
yet. It's all right. We're too small. No, no,

00:31:57.150 --> 00:32:01.369
we're not making any money. So one other thing

00:32:01.369 --> 00:32:04.569
I want to bring up. Not only do we have all this

00:32:04.569 --> 00:32:06.210
shit going on on the other side of the world.

00:32:07.869 --> 00:32:11.029
Half our country is like on the fucking verge.

00:32:13.289 --> 00:32:18.029
We have all the shit going on in L .A. And I

00:32:18.029 --> 00:32:21.349
have a question that I want to ask people. Is

00:32:21.349 --> 00:32:25.809
L .A. even really an American city anymore? Given

00:32:25.809 --> 00:32:29.190
the state of the population there. The policies

00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:31.009
of the people that are controlling the area.

00:32:32.289 --> 00:32:36.089
It's been deemed a sanctuary city. And the people

00:32:36.089 --> 00:32:38.250
that are in the government seats there have been

00:32:38.250 --> 00:32:41.589
fighting like hell to protect the people that

00:32:41.589 --> 00:32:44.349
have come into this country illegally. And they're

00:32:44.349 --> 00:32:47.410
protecting those people at the cost and the expense

00:32:47.410 --> 00:32:52.150
of their own actual citizens. Go ahead. Do you

00:32:52.150 --> 00:32:56.329
know there is a local representative in Minnesota?

00:32:57.329 --> 00:32:59.789
That is now going to be facing jail time. Yes,

00:32:59.809 --> 00:33:02.329
because she admitted that she was an illegal

00:33:02.329 --> 00:33:04.930
immigrant and she's sitting in a house seat.

00:33:06.029 --> 00:33:09.289
Yes, which means she voted illegally, too, because

00:33:09.289 --> 00:33:11.150
you can't sit in that seat unless you're a voter.

00:33:12.609 --> 00:33:15.230
She's facing all kinds of charges. Oh, yeah.

00:33:16.529 --> 00:33:18.549
It's become one of these things to where it is

00:33:18.549 --> 00:33:22.289
apparent. And OK, I'll pretext a little bit of

00:33:22.289 --> 00:33:24.650
preamble here. I'm an open minded person. I like

00:33:24.650 --> 00:33:26.109
discussing with people that have different views

00:33:26.109 --> 00:33:33.839
and all that. The problem I see is there are

00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:40.640
no longer any, I guess, adjoining social ideas

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.640
or commitments or contracts to where we have

00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.779
to treat people a certain way or behave a certain

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:50.039
way. It's really become a free -for -all. And

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:51.779
what I mean by that is there are certain areas

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:54.019
of the country that fundamentally don't really

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:58.349
behave or operate. in a way in which abides by

00:33:58.349 --> 00:34:00.789
the Constitution or the spirit or legality of

00:34:00.789 --> 00:34:03.069
the law. And when you talk about places like

00:34:03.069 --> 00:34:07.349
sanctuary cities, I understand that they feel

00:34:07.349 --> 00:34:10.789
that they have the right to say whether someone's

00:34:10.789 --> 00:34:13.650
here legally or illegally. They're wrong, but

00:34:13.650 --> 00:34:16.429
I understand why they feel that way. However,

00:34:16.690 --> 00:34:20.510
it seems to me there's a fundamental lack of

00:34:20.510 --> 00:34:22.829
understanding. When it comes to the immigration

00:34:22.829 --> 00:34:25.670
system and when it comes to where their authority

00:34:25.670 --> 00:34:29.750
stops and ends with these cities. It is the issue

00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:32.909
of the federal government has to make a stand

00:34:32.909 --> 00:34:36.210
and say either one. If you ignore federal law,

00:34:36.289 --> 00:34:38.429
you no longer receive funding, which I agree

00:34:38.429 --> 00:34:41.010
with that sentiment or mentality. Or the option

00:34:41.010 --> 00:34:44.309
two is your police department is no longer legitimate

00:34:44.309 --> 00:34:47.889
police department and you will be removed and

00:34:47.889 --> 00:34:50.469
replaced. Right. Because the other problem is.

00:34:50.829 --> 00:34:52.769
And I've said this many times on this podcast.

00:34:52.929 --> 00:34:54.969
I know you agree with this one. The only laws

00:34:54.969 --> 00:34:57.010
that matter are the ones that are enforced. If

00:34:57.010 --> 00:34:58.730
a law is not enforced, it effectively doesn't

00:34:58.730 --> 00:35:02.210
exist. So until those laws that are in place

00:35:02.210 --> 00:35:05.050
that abide by the Constitution and that abide

00:35:05.050 --> 00:35:09.110
by our societal values are enforced, they really

00:35:09.110 --> 00:35:11.030
don't matter. A lot of our laws have become very

00:35:11.030 --> 00:35:14.860
conditional based on where you live. And I would

00:35:14.860 --> 00:35:16.159
agree with you that there are some areas of the

00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:17.699
country that really are not representative at

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:20.360
all of American values. Look at some of the spots

00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:25.500
in Michigan, dude. Well, you have places in Michigan,

00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:29.000
Wisconsin, New York, California, Washington,

00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:33.460
Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey. I mean, there's

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:36.079
quite a few places to where the laws really,

00:35:36.219 --> 00:35:40.639
they're completely different. And also, unfortunately,

00:35:40.739 --> 00:35:42.900
I think the laws are very much dependent on whether

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:45.980
you're a citizen or not. You know, because look

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:47.840
at, for example, the case in California. I know

00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:49.219
we brought this up with the healthcare episode

00:35:49.219 --> 00:35:52.079
and a few other stuff, but imagine being able

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.320
to pay less for medical expenses because you're

00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:58.119
not a citizen. Imagine being able to pay for

00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.559
them because you're not a citizen. Imagine also

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:03.079
not being a citizen, not having insurance, and

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:04.820
then literally being able to walk out and pay

00:36:04.820 --> 00:36:06.559
nothing, whereas an American that does have insurance

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:11.250
has to pay, like, thousands of dollars that there

00:36:11.250 --> 00:36:13.150
are so many things to where it's rigged against

00:36:13.150 --> 00:36:16.150
the people that abide by the laws that so many

00:36:16.150 --> 00:36:18.369
people are starting to not abide by the laws.

00:36:19.230 --> 00:36:22.570
Imagine being a citizen of this country and needing

00:36:22.570 --> 00:36:27.210
help to get by in life and being denied. But

00:36:27.210 --> 00:36:30.349
if you're illegal, you get food assistance cards

00:36:30.349 --> 00:36:34.409
with balances on them and the tens of thousands

00:36:34.409 --> 00:36:37.469
of dollars. and cash assistance balances in the

00:36:37.469 --> 00:36:40.590
tens of thousands of dollars. That is insane.

00:36:41.590 --> 00:36:43.369
Well, it's one of those things where we have

00:36:43.369 --> 00:36:45.070
veterans that are sleeping on the ground and

00:36:45.070 --> 00:36:46.550
people that aren't able to afford houses that

00:36:46.550 --> 00:36:49.889
did everything right. And I have no problem helping

00:36:49.889 --> 00:36:52.929
people if after we had helped our own citizens

00:36:52.929 --> 00:36:56.030
first. I feel bad for a lot of people that come

00:36:56.030 --> 00:36:57.510
from third world countries and that come from

00:36:57.510 --> 00:37:00.869
these places that are really tragic. The amount

00:37:00.869 --> 00:37:03.429
of desperation and shit that they're willing

00:37:03.429 --> 00:37:06.420
to go through just to get here, tells you how

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:09.679
bad it is for them there. I understand completely

00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:12.519
that they're willing to come here and what they're

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.079
willing to go through to get here for a chance

00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.900
at a better life. Does the immigration system

00:37:16.900 --> 00:37:19.500
need to change? Abso -fucking -lutely. But there

00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:22.599
are laws that have to be followed. Plain and

00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.579
simple. Well, you can't change a law by just

00:37:25.579 --> 00:37:28.239
ignoring it. Right. You have to go through the

00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:31.679
process. And this is the problem I do want to

00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:34.199
call out certain politicians on. and say that

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:36.960
hey why are you sitting there you know bitching

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.500
complaining about a system where you've been

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:41.099
part of it for the last 30 or 40 years you know

00:37:41.099 --> 00:37:43.340
not for nothing i will tell you this right now

00:37:43.340 --> 00:37:45.099
regardless of which side you're on if the politicians

00:37:45.099 --> 00:37:46.760
wanted to change it they would have done it decades

00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.179
ago i don't want to hear about anyone saying

00:37:49.179 --> 00:37:51.760
oh this party or that party is going to change

00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:54.400
this no bs if they wanted to they would have

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.219
mostly average people in politics are there for

00:37:56.219 --> 00:37:59.920
over 20 years are you kidding me They don't want

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:01.460
to change it because they're able to manipulate

00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:04.800
it in their favor. Oh, well, term limits. And

00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:06.059
also, if you're old enough to collect retirement,

00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.139
you should not be in politics. I'm sorry. Yep.

00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:11.400
But no, absolutely not. But those two things,

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:15.860
I. It's one of those things to where if Trump

00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:18.820
doesn't do either one of those, I will be very

00:38:18.820 --> 00:38:21.719
unhappy. But I feel like he has to. That should

00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:23.539
be one of the last final things he tries to help

00:38:23.539 --> 00:38:25.719
Congress get through. It's like, hey, pass this.

00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.400
That will make him go down as one of the best

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.239
presidents in history. If he doesn't do that,

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:32.579
most people aren't going to care because I hate

00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:34.340
to say it. I'm going to say this for a lot of

00:38:34.340 --> 00:38:36.099
people and people are going to find that when

00:38:36.099 --> 00:38:38.659
we're saying sensitive, but I don't care. It's

00:38:38.659 --> 00:38:43.320
very hard for me as someone in my 30s to have

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.780
any trust at all in politics when the same politicians

00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:48.800
have been in for 30 to 40 plus years and all

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:50.820
of them are so far out of my age bracket. They

00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:53.440
cannot relate to a single struggle I have. They

00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:55.059
cannot relate to anything that goes on in my

00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:58.340
life. So why would I ever have a vote of confidence

00:38:58.340 --> 00:38:59.679
for him? And that also, by the way, includes

00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:01.800
Trump on that one. Like, yeah, sure, he's the

00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:04.840
better of two evils, but, I mean, he's so far

00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.400
removed from the struggles of any day person

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.260
that, like, sure, he has good people around him,

00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:13.059
but I'm not going to bullshit and say, oh, yeah,

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.460
he knows the struggles. No, he doesn't. None

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:17.519
of them do. None of the people in that fucking

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:19.940
cabinet do. Absolutely none, because almost every

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:22.500
single one of them are in there because they're

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:25.460
a career politician. I think literally J .D.

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:29.159
Vance is probably the only one who probably does

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:32.599
understand those struggles. And I'll be honest

00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:34.619
with you. He's probably the only person there.

00:39:34.659 --> 00:39:38.300
If you noticed, he has shut the hell up in terms

00:39:38.300 --> 00:39:39.880
of as a vice president. He's just there to support.

00:39:40.260 --> 00:39:43.300
And he's doing a very good job. I was worried

00:39:43.300 --> 00:39:45.840
he was going to be saying too much stuff like

00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.460
Mike Pence was doing and just kind of undermining

00:39:49.460 --> 00:39:51.940
everything. But no, J .D. Vance, I think he gets

00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:55.159
it. Now, is he perfect? No. But you know what?

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.079
He's at least within the realm of someone that

00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.099
I think a lot of us can relate to. Oh, I love

00:40:01.099 --> 00:40:07.260
the fucking memes of him. The AI shit. Oh, dude,

00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:10.119
some of them are good. Oh, God. Like the baby

00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:12.619
Vance and stuff like that. Yes. They're great.

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:19.539
So it's until the political parties get their

00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:23.019
act together. and actually want to listen to

00:40:23.019 --> 00:40:25.579
people, I still feel like no matter what, they're

00:40:25.579 --> 00:40:28.179
always going to be a net negative overall. Most

00:40:28.179 --> 00:40:30.460
people are not happy with that. Every politician

00:40:30.460 --> 00:40:33.659
is a net negative, no matter what. If they're

00:40:33.659 --> 00:40:35.519
a career politician, yeah, they're a negative.

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.239
I know there are some good ones, I'm sure, but

00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:45.760
not many. I'll tell you that right now. You know,

00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:47.679
because it doesn't seem like we're making, because

00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:49.420
at home, like what's happening here, like sure,

00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:52.579
all of our efforts are abroad, but things aren't

00:40:52.579 --> 00:40:55.679
getting much better over here. You know, because

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:57.739
this is, I think this is where I'm a little disappointed,

00:40:57.900 --> 00:40:59.460
where he's spending so much time being focused

00:40:59.460 --> 00:41:03.340
on Iran. There's not much happening domestically

00:41:03.340 --> 00:41:07.159
to change things. And we were promised one thing,

00:41:07.179 --> 00:41:08.980
and unfortunately he's not really delivering

00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:10.320
it. And I know there's a lot working against

00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:12.900
him, but historically in the midterms, the Republicans

00:41:12.900 --> 00:41:15.000
are going to lose seats. So if he was going to

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.000
make stuff happen, it's now. He has like literally

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.440
a year. Yeah. A year to maybe a year and a half

00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.739
to get things in place, make things happen, or

00:41:23.739 --> 00:41:26.119
else it's just going to be irrelevant. Because

00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.480
historically, he will lose seats and most likely

00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:32.280
lose the majority. Now, who knows what's going

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:35.500
to happen? Because in politics, a month is a

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:39.039
year. So who the hell knows? Everything could

00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:43.559
change two days from now. Hey, theoretically,

00:41:43.699 --> 00:41:46.059
we'll be in the singularity by a year from now.

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:50.460
Oh, my God. We could just have our entire civilization

00:41:50.460 --> 00:41:53.239
run by sentient yogurt. No, the problem is AI

00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:55.320
Nixon's going to come back. That's going to be

00:41:55.320 --> 00:42:01.559
the action. Yep. I want to hear AI Nixon just

00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:06.079
say, I'm back, bitches. As he just ascends from

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.960
a head to glass jar kind of thing. Yes. It's

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:12.469
possible, though. You know what? I wonder what

00:42:12.469 --> 00:42:15.269
would happen if AI programs start running as

00:42:15.269 --> 00:42:17.869
politicians. Oh, that'd be great. If they gain

00:42:17.869 --> 00:42:20.710
sentience, if they gain actual rights. Okay,

00:42:20.769 --> 00:42:26.969
so that is something that was brought up in the

00:42:26.969 --> 00:42:29.369
interview with the Gen Z kids. Oh, then I won't

00:42:29.369 --> 00:42:31.690
say another thing. Well, no, it was brief, and

00:42:31.690 --> 00:42:33.829
it's going to spawn probably a whole other episode.

00:42:34.849 --> 00:42:41.030
We got very off topic and into... Some other

00:42:41.030 --> 00:42:43.309
questions that because I asked about all the

00:42:43.309 --> 00:42:45.309
stuff going on in the world right now, and then

00:42:45.309 --> 00:42:48.650
I asked him one like question that was very podcast

00:42:48.650 --> 00:42:55.110
centric and it kind of went down the line. One

00:42:55.110 --> 00:42:56.769
thing that we're going to have to consider at

00:42:56.769 --> 00:43:01.789
some point. Will we need some kind of a bill

00:43:01.789 --> 00:43:06.969
of rights for AI? I mean, it's it's getting very,

00:43:07.070 --> 00:43:08.650
very close. It's already passed the Turing test.

00:43:10.349 --> 00:43:14.789
So, for anybody... Sorry, you go. Go ahead, go

00:43:14.789 --> 00:43:17.489
ahead. I don't want that. What I was going to

00:43:17.489 --> 00:43:19.210
say is for anybody that's watched Star Trek,

00:43:19.389 --> 00:43:22.610
what makes a man, I believe, is the episode.

00:43:24.230 --> 00:43:26.849
It is probably the most relevant and important

00:43:26.849 --> 00:43:30.550
episode you can watch. And I think almost all

00:43:30.550 --> 00:43:33.590
of Star Trek. Just look it up. This whole episode's

00:43:33.590 --> 00:43:37.090
on YouTube. Possibly even sci -fi, not just Star

00:43:37.090 --> 00:43:42.260
Trek. It's a very profound episode. It is probably

00:43:42.260 --> 00:43:47.800
the episode that I watched as a kid that really

00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:51.360
opened my eyes and made me think, oh, shit. This

00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:54.619
is deep. This is not just an A or B question.

00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.159
This is not something you can just answer. If

00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:01.719
you have some time, look that up on YouTube.

00:44:01.980 --> 00:44:05.119
What is a man? Star Trek Next Generation. What

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:08.349
makes a man? What makes a man? Sorry. I'm thinking

00:44:08.349 --> 00:44:09.869
of the other documentary, but what is woman,

00:44:09.969 --> 00:44:13.949
but, but what makes a man and watch the episode?

00:44:14.010 --> 00:44:15.809
You don't have to know anything else in the background.

00:44:16.769 --> 00:44:18.809
It's a, it's a pretty good standalone episode.

00:44:19.389 --> 00:44:21.289
If you know a little bit of background, it helps

00:44:21.289 --> 00:44:25.429
do a little research, but that is, I think you're

00:44:25.429 --> 00:44:29.429
asking a very good question of what are the criteria

00:44:29.429 --> 00:44:31.090
and how are we going to legally enforce that?

00:44:31.730 --> 00:44:34.909
And then the other problem of like how our laws

00:44:34.909 --> 00:44:37.679
applied. What's going to happen? How the fuck

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:41.199
do you arrest a software? Right. Like, yeah.

00:44:41.300 --> 00:44:43.119
So it's, it's an interesting enough thing. I

00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.800
feel like maybe that's a whole episode somewhere

00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:48.659
down the line. Good Lord. Yeah. We make AI internet

00:44:48.659 --> 00:44:53.400
police. Possibly it's, it's deep. You know, I

00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:56.059
mean the, the Muslims have their own sect of

00:44:56.059 --> 00:44:58.340
police, so maybe the AI gets its own sect of

00:44:58.340 --> 00:45:00.820
police. You know, I should the terrifying thought

00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:02.679
of a terminator looking motherfucker. That's

00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:05.139
an AI comes up to me, grabs you by the shirt,

00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.239
lifts you up and goes, you said a mean comment

00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.840
on Instagram. You're under arrest. It's like,

00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:14.380
oh, fuck. Like, you know, you can't touch me,

00:45:14.460 --> 00:45:19.539
bitch. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That can

00:45:19.539 --> 00:45:21.380
get out of hand so quick, though. Oh, easily.

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:25.010
Like, I just. Oh, man. Then the problem is you

00:45:25.010 --> 00:45:28.050
have AI people running around. If you've seen

00:45:28.050 --> 00:45:30.969
the movie iRobot, if you've got an S4s effectively

00:45:30.969 --> 00:45:34.469
walking around with AI that have full rights,

00:45:34.670 --> 00:45:39.489
we lose all our jobs. I'm sorry. Hey, we've been

00:45:39.489 --> 00:45:42.110
talking about it for months now. I know. I don't

00:45:42.110 --> 00:45:45.050
like that, though. I hate being right, but God

00:45:45.050 --> 00:45:48.630
damn it, if people share this podcast, they would

00:45:48.630 --> 00:45:53.079
be more aware of it. That's why I always tell

00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:54.960
people, get a job that can't be replaced by a

00:45:54.960 --> 00:46:02.239
robot. One of the problems I see is we're talking

00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:03.760
about bringing jobs back to America, but we're

00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:05.300
bringing back mostly manufacturing jobs that

00:46:05.300 --> 00:46:08.739
are just going to get replaced by robots. It's

00:46:08.739 --> 00:46:13.320
like, dude, I think eventually I'm going to have

00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:15.219
to be converted to your side about UBI. I'm not

00:46:15.219 --> 00:46:17.420
there yet. I'm not there yet about universal

00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:23.360
basic income. Dude, listen. I fucking hate having

00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:27.059
to be on that side, but I can see what's coming

00:46:27.059 --> 00:46:32.139
down the pipe. I've got a few years on you, so

00:46:32.139 --> 00:46:36.480
I can see what's coming. Like that girl on her

00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:39.199
knees in front of the porn star, I can see what's

00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:47.900
about to hit me. I just don't like how you're

00:46:47.900 --> 00:46:51.900
referencing All of us losing our jobs as an AI

00:46:51.900 --> 00:46:57.599
basically effective of a money shot. No. This

00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:03.219
is not a good thing. Nobody likes this. No. Oh,

00:47:03.300 --> 00:47:07.840
God. But am I wrong? That's a meme an AI would

00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:15.500
make. Hashtag coming for your jobs. I don't know.

00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.949
It's just one of those things where like, maybe

00:47:19.949 --> 00:47:21.809
we need to look at overpopulation issues and

00:47:21.809 --> 00:47:27.150
you know start uh start looking at those maybe

00:47:27.150 --> 00:47:30.730
don't have nine kids right you know you know

00:47:30.730 --> 00:47:36.690
but that's a whole separate but let's i don't

00:47:36.690 --> 00:47:38.769
even know how the how the fuck did we segue from

00:47:38.769 --> 00:47:41.989
like 37 degrees away from it's us it happens

00:47:41.989 --> 00:47:45.769
i know i don't know i i've still got my notes

00:47:45.769 --> 00:47:48.420
up i can kind of Hit some points real quick if

00:47:48.420 --> 00:47:51.300
you want. Yeah, sure. If there's any points that

00:47:51.300 --> 00:47:54.519
we missed. Yeah. Well, so the Straits of Hormuz

00:47:54.519 --> 00:48:00.099
yesterday, it was potentially closed. Now we'll

00:48:00.099 --> 00:48:03.539
see if it goes back to being open. I don't see

00:48:03.539 --> 00:48:06.760
it affecting us a whole lot because 5 % of our

00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:09.519
oil comes from there, but like 30 % of China's.

00:48:09.579 --> 00:48:11.900
So I think it'll affect them more than anything,

00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:16.360
but it'll still affect oil prices because reasons.

00:48:17.099 --> 00:48:19.980
I don't know why it should affect us, but what's

00:48:19.980 --> 00:48:22.559
going to happen. I'll, I was actually listening

00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.599
to a, to a podcast earlier talking about that.

00:48:24.619 --> 00:48:26.639
They did like a emergency episode trader. So

00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:29.659
there are tankers. Hey, I'm allowed to scope

00:48:29.659 --> 00:48:33.039
out the competition. So there are takers that

00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:35.400
are already turning around. Oh yeah. Which the

00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:36.960
problem is that's going to mean there will be

00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:39.880
a, there might be a small temporary shortage,

00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:41.619
not like a shortages and you can't get it. But

00:48:41.619 --> 00:48:43.969
what that means is. The supplier is going to

00:48:43.969 --> 00:48:45.889
be a little bit down. Demand will be up, especially

00:48:45.889 --> 00:48:47.849
near the middle to end of summer. There might

00:48:47.849 --> 00:48:50.929
be a bit of a spike, but that will level out

00:48:50.929 --> 00:48:53.610
at some point. Again, it shouldn't affect us,

00:48:53.650 --> 00:48:58.190
though. We'll see it. Because of investments

00:48:58.190 --> 00:49:00.010
and because of stock markets and everything like

00:49:00.010 --> 00:49:02.769
that, I'm willing to bet you you'll see a probably

00:49:02.769 --> 00:49:05.929
5 % to 10%, maybe 15 % increase, just as being

00:49:05.929 --> 00:49:09.710
like an amateur economist. Yeah. We'll see it

00:49:09.710 --> 00:49:14.650
just because. the the shit exists we don't have

00:49:14.650 --> 00:49:16.929
an issue with the oil but there's a problem over

00:49:16.929 --> 00:49:18.809
there so we're going to take advantage of it

00:49:18.809 --> 00:49:22.250
because money yeah because speculation yes that's

00:49:22.250 --> 00:49:23.889
what people understand the value for most things

00:49:23.889 --> 00:49:25.610
is based off of speculation not based off of

00:49:25.610 --> 00:49:29.409
any real world yeah i know you so also i would

00:49:29.409 --> 00:49:34.969
like to point out um several years ago we had

00:49:34.969 --> 00:49:41.539
140 an oil a barrel oil And we were paying like

00:49:41.539 --> 00:49:50.440
$3 to $4 a gallon of gas. In 21, during COVID,

00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:55.519
oil was like $100 a barrel and we were paying

00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:00.219
$6 a gallon. In the Midwest, it was like $12

00:50:00.219 --> 00:50:05.159
in California. Just to kind of reiterate where

00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.940
the spending power of the dollar is. Like we've

00:50:08.940 --> 00:50:11.389
talked about. We also have to factor in we've

00:50:11.389 --> 00:50:13.710
closed down a few oil refineries in the U .S.,

00:50:13.710 --> 00:50:15.690
and because of EPA and environmental regulations,

00:50:15.929 --> 00:50:17.769
they've made it far more difficult to refine

00:50:17.769 --> 00:50:20.929
and transport and manufacture this stuff. So

00:50:20.929 --> 00:50:22.610
you could blame the EPA and all the other shit

00:50:22.610 --> 00:50:24.289
that's been going on, plus all the additives

00:50:24.289 --> 00:50:25.989
and everything else and ethanol regulations.

00:50:26.510 --> 00:50:29.309
Yep. Also all the oil leases that got canceled

00:50:29.309 --> 00:50:32.469
and the pipelines that were cannexed. But anyways,

00:50:32.670 --> 00:50:36.869
the next point I wanted to bring up, this is

00:50:36.869 --> 00:50:41.869
a big one. There are some things that people

00:50:41.869 --> 00:50:44.730
don't take into account when it comes to the

00:50:44.730 --> 00:50:48.929
vulnerabilities of America. We do not have an

00:50:48.929 --> 00:50:52.289
iron dome. We do not have a golden dome like

00:50:52.289 --> 00:50:55.969
he's trying to put in place. I can't help but

00:50:55.969 --> 00:50:58.650
think of the golden showers when I think of the

00:50:58.650 --> 00:51:02.070
golden dome. Yeah, I know. It's just a thing

00:51:02.070 --> 00:51:06.989
that just zoidbergs into my head. Oh, God. Iran

00:51:06.989 --> 00:51:10.480
has already successfully practiced. launching

00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:13.000
ballistic missiles off of freighters in the Caspian

00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:18.059
Sea. They did this by disguising them to look

00:51:18.059 --> 00:51:21.420
like normal commercial cargo ships, and they

00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:26.380
were fired out of cargo containers. Russia has

00:51:26.380 --> 00:51:32.280
also containerized ballistic missiles that are

00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:37.159
nuclear capable. And we already know they have

00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.510
worked with Iran and other countries that aren't

00:51:40.510 --> 00:51:43.710
exactly friendly towards us or haven't been friendly

00:51:43.710 --> 00:51:47.150
towards us in the past. North Korea has even

00:51:47.150 --> 00:51:50.429
pulled some shenanigans with ship -based missiles

00:51:50.429 --> 00:51:54.070
disguised as cargo. Those were surface -to -air

00:51:54.070 --> 00:51:56.829
missiles. Those, however, were intercepted trying

00:51:56.829 --> 00:51:59.510
to go through the Panama Canal because those

00:51:59.510 --> 00:52:01.090
idiots thought they would try to sneak through

00:52:01.090 --> 00:52:03.110
the canal by turning off their ship transponder.

00:52:04.329 --> 00:52:06.789
They found those missiles packed with sugar.

00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.500
I'm not surprised. How hard do you think it would

00:52:14.500 --> 00:52:20.480
be for Iran or China or somebody to park a couple

00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.460
dozen of those ships off of our coast and just

00:52:23.460 --> 00:52:29.659
start waylaying a city or two? Wouldn't be hard.

00:52:30.179 --> 00:52:35.019
At all. And we have nothing there to stop them.

00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:39.869
No. Unless they try going for D .C. which we

00:52:39.869 --> 00:52:41.670
have anti -missile systems on top of the White

00:52:41.670 --> 00:52:45.809
House. But outside of that, we have nothing.

00:52:46.610 --> 00:52:48.329
I'll be honest with you. I'm pessimistic enough

00:52:48.329 --> 00:52:49.809
to where I don't think even if our government

00:52:49.809 --> 00:52:52.570
could stop it, I don't think they would. No,

00:52:52.650 --> 00:52:54.750
they'd let it happen. Yeah, they need another

00:52:54.750 --> 00:52:58.309
9 -11. Yeah. 9 -11 worked once. Why wouldn't

00:52:58.309 --> 00:53:01.550
it work again? I know. You know, although they

00:53:01.550 --> 00:53:03.050
can't hit the same thing twice. You know, it's

00:53:03.050 --> 00:53:07.880
kind of not there. Well, no, there's, well. There

00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:09.880
is a new tower they could hit. Unless they hit

00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:11.719
the 9 -11 memorial and just make a deeper hole.

00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:18.139
I'm still worried they're going to go after 4th

00:53:18.139 --> 00:53:20.639
of July celebrations. You know, that's something

00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:23.840
I hadn't considered. And I'm glad for that. We're

00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:25.360
staying away from everybody. We're just going

00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:28.739
to hang out in a small town. Yeah. And just be

00:53:28.739 --> 00:53:31.619
away. I live in a small enough town that somebody

00:53:31.619 --> 00:53:34.159
that looks like that is around. They're going

00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:36.360
to get watched. I hate to say that profiling

00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:39.960
is a thing, but in my town, profiling is a thing.

00:53:40.260 --> 00:53:45.900
It's a thing. I'm sorry. This is like a 98 %

00:53:45.900 --> 00:53:49.639
white town. It is the Midwest. I mean, aggressively

00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:57.679
Midwest. You know. I mean, shit. When my ex -wife

00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:01.079
was here with me, she accounted for like 10 %

00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:05.000
of the Hispanic population in town. She was the

00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:10.300
diversity. That's it. In terms of diversity,

00:54:10.460 --> 00:54:14.719
we have one. Right. Yeah, let them hit like a

00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:17.699
major fucking 4th of July celebration. I hope

00:54:17.699 --> 00:54:21.380
not. You thought America United on 9 -12? Fuck

00:54:21.380 --> 00:54:25.809
you assholes. you will see unity like never before

00:54:25.809 --> 00:54:28.929
see but that's the issue though is if they do

00:54:28.929 --> 00:54:30.989
that all of a sudden the rest of us can be like

00:54:30.989 --> 00:54:34.309
yeah fuck you now we can glass you like yes that's

00:54:34.309 --> 00:54:36.809
that's exactly the wrong thing of what iran would

00:54:36.809 --> 00:54:39.730
want to do because then they're screwed they're

00:54:39.730 --> 00:54:42.369
absolutely screwed there's no way what they fail

00:54:42.369 --> 00:54:49.360
to realize is we can drill through glass It's

00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:51.579
hard to live on glass chuckle fuck as we're just

00:54:51.579 --> 00:54:56.280
throwing nukes at them. It was just, I don't

00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:58.900
know. It's, I would, I would genuinely hate to

00:54:58.900 --> 00:55:00.699
see any sort of war breakout or any fight, but

00:55:00.699 --> 00:55:02.719
that being said, I don't want to see it, but

00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:04.719
it's one of those things we always win in the

00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.119
end. Like, like, yes, a lot of people would,

00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:10.239
you know, unfortunately be removed from life,

00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:13.599
but you know, fuck. Uh, I do not know his name,

00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:16.559
but I sent it to you. I think. uh he's a lot

00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:21.019
of stuff i i know i'm sorry uh news anchor he

00:55:21.019 --> 00:55:23.460
he was talking about the other night the way

00:55:23.460 --> 00:55:27.820
that he was talking to or like pouring his heart

00:55:27.820 --> 00:55:29.900
out to president trump like look if you're going

00:55:29.900 --> 00:55:35.320
to do this do this the right way uh i cannot

00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:38.239
remember his name which one does he work for

00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:42.980
independent news i don't know um that does not

00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:45.349
narrow it down sir are you talking about I know.

00:55:45.849 --> 00:55:48.429
Tim pool, Dave Rubin. Are you, are you talking

00:55:48.429 --> 00:55:51.630
like, are you talking to more conservative guys

00:55:51.630 --> 00:55:54.710
like Steven Crowder? Conservative guy, but he's

00:55:54.710 --> 00:55:58.510
Matt Walsh. Probably. No, no. I know who that

00:55:58.510 --> 00:56:02.010
is. I'm trying to see if I shared it in our,

00:56:02.010 --> 00:56:06.150
our other discord. And, but, but I would agree

00:56:06.150 --> 00:56:07.369
with you that it's one of those things where

00:56:07.369 --> 00:56:10.530
if you're going to do it, you do it in the dead

00:56:10.530 --> 00:56:12.650
of night where no one's going to know you, you

00:56:12.650 --> 00:56:15.690
bomb every single, you know, government military

00:56:15.690 --> 00:56:17.630
building type of thing. You make it so there's

00:56:17.630 --> 00:56:19.590
no way they could ever officially respond to

00:56:19.590 --> 00:56:22.929
anything. Right. You know, it's, it's unfortunate,

00:56:23.150 --> 00:56:26.369
but if you're going to do it, you have to go

00:56:26.369 --> 00:56:32.349
big or go home. Right. Um, I'll, I'll have to

00:56:32.349 --> 00:56:35.210
check the messages I sent you. Cause it's, I'll

00:56:35.210 --> 00:56:39.230
never find it. Oh, there, there he is. Um, where

00:56:39.230 --> 00:56:41.630
the fuck is the, Oh, there it is every time.

00:56:41.710 --> 00:56:47.460
Well, I sent you another thing with him. He's

00:56:47.460 --> 00:56:51.619
on Newsmax. He just kind of looks like a Chad.

00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:54.219
He looks kind of like a wrestler, like Wish .com

00:56:54.219 --> 00:57:02.320
John Cena. I don't know. Wish .com John Cena.

00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:08.780
Are you talking about the Sean Ryan show? No,

00:57:08.820 --> 00:57:10.539
I know who Sean Ryan is, not him. Okay, I was

00:57:10.539 --> 00:57:15.690
going to say. all right that guy that guy yeah

00:57:15.690 --> 00:57:18.670
this this guy him he was pouring his heart out

00:57:18.670 --> 00:57:20.210
to trump i can't think of his fucking name it's

00:57:20.210 --> 00:57:26.349
not even on that video um but he was he was calling

00:57:26.349 --> 00:57:28.769
out saying if you're going to do this you know

00:57:28.769 --> 00:57:31.010
let loose the dogs of war and let us do what

00:57:31.010 --> 00:57:33.150
we have to do don't tie our hands because he

00:57:33.150 --> 00:57:37.949
served and was in afghanistan and iraq and saw

00:57:37.949 --> 00:57:42.360
what happened when we were sent over And we had

00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:46.300
all these restraining rules of engagement. Like,

00:57:46.340 --> 00:57:48.780
oh, you can't fire back if somebody shoots at

00:57:48.780 --> 00:57:51.219
you and then drops their gun. Or if they use

00:57:51.219 --> 00:57:54.880
human shields. Yeah. Because they picked up on

00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:56.920
these things and they knew what was going on.

00:57:58.940 --> 00:58:01.400
And the problem is it's not like you can ask

00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:03.920
the people of Iran to leave because then you're

00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:05.599
going to get sleeper cells everywhere else across

00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:08.320
the world. Well, Trump sure as fuck told the

00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:12.590
people of... Iran's kept to a Tehran that they

00:58:12.590 --> 00:58:15.150
needed to evacuate and they fucking evacuated

00:58:15.150 --> 00:58:20.250
See what what he's gonna have to do I think to

00:58:20.250 --> 00:58:23.670
play this smart is wherever the nuclear materials

00:58:23.670 --> 00:58:26.590
going He's got to find a way to get them to evacuate

00:58:26.590 --> 00:58:29.250
Just so it's easier to use the drones to find

00:58:29.250 --> 00:58:31.130
the material just bomb specifically those people

00:58:31.130 --> 00:58:33.909
Yep, there's gotta be be able to play a nuclear

00:58:33.909 --> 00:58:38.250
whack -a -mole. There's gotta be a way but I

00:58:38.250 --> 00:58:39.750
don't know. It seems like no matter what you

00:58:39.750 --> 00:58:41.670
do, you're going to be... There's going to be

00:58:41.670 --> 00:58:43.309
some innocent civilians that are going to get

00:58:43.309 --> 00:58:46.710
in the way. There are acceptable losses in the

00:58:46.710 --> 00:58:50.710
doctrines. Typically, it's zero, but depending

00:58:50.710 --> 00:58:53.769
on the situation. But if he's going to play a

00:58:53.769 --> 00:58:55.789
nuclear whack -a -mole, he will touch their talala,

00:58:55.989 --> 00:58:58.489
and he will find what we're looking for. Their

00:58:58.489 --> 00:59:04.769
ding -ding -dong. I don't know. We'll see what

00:59:04.769 --> 00:59:08.190
happens, but hopefully... Here's the other plan.

00:59:08.289 --> 00:59:12.730
I just hope Mossad or Israel just goes in and

00:59:12.730 --> 00:59:14.750
just wipes out the leadership. While they're

00:59:14.750 --> 00:59:16.610
mobilizing, trying to scramble, trying to move

00:59:16.610 --> 00:59:19.030
around, figure it out. Sneak some people in there.

00:59:19.050 --> 00:59:21.289
Get them while they're in transport. While they're

00:59:21.289 --> 00:59:22.789
not paying attention, while they're not fortified

00:59:22.789 --> 00:59:26.329
or solidified down somewhere. Just take the leadership

00:59:26.329 --> 00:59:29.230
down from the top down. Take out the Ayatollah.

00:59:29.309 --> 00:59:32.010
Call it a day. I will take care of myself afterwards.

00:59:33.030 --> 00:59:35.750
You know. Then you go in offering humanitarian

00:59:35.750 --> 00:59:37.889
supplies and peace and the usual thing. And you

00:59:37.889 --> 00:59:41.730
know, we have been, that's the other thing. Videos

00:59:41.730 --> 00:59:45.570
are coming out from Iran of all the aid that's

00:59:45.570 --> 00:59:49.670
being offered from Israel, from America, from,

00:59:49.809 --> 00:59:52.110
I think even Saudi Arabia has been dropping supplies

00:59:52.110 --> 00:59:57.110
and they're sitting there talking to like, it's

00:59:57.110 --> 00:59:59.849
not our own country that's offering us this food

00:59:59.849 --> 01:00:02.510
and this water and this medicine. It's America.

01:00:04.139 --> 01:00:06.719
You know, America is not the devil that they're

01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:11.579
saying it is. It's our leaders. The people over

01:00:11.579 --> 01:00:14.480
there know what's going on. What you have to

01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:17.420
do is continue that campaign, force the actual

01:00:17.420 --> 01:00:20.420
government to collapse, let the people starve

01:00:20.420 --> 01:00:22.019
from the government, then we offer the help.

01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:24.840
Yep. And that way, no matter what, at least they

01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:27.179
have some sort of preferential or deferential

01:00:27.179 --> 01:00:32.019
view. But, you know. The problem is we're not

01:00:32.019 --> 01:00:34.039
very good at the world building aspect. We're

01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:36.139
very good at getting rid of people. We're not

01:00:36.139 --> 01:00:38.340
very good about like, hey, let's start up a new

01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:40.880
democracy here and let the people actually do

01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:43.460
their thing. Because every single time the military

01:00:43.460 --> 01:00:45.219
industrial complex, the politicians get their

01:00:45.219 --> 01:00:48.079
grubby little hands in it and say, well, you

01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:51.219
could have a democracy. But you know what we

01:00:51.219 --> 01:00:54.239
really care about? Stockholders. You know what

01:00:54.239 --> 01:00:57.360
we really care about? Making money. I don't know.

01:00:57.400 --> 01:01:01.699
I just. I hope there's a way around it. And I

01:01:01.699 --> 01:01:06.559
hope Trump sees through that. Did you hear, and

01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:09.000
this might be an episode for another topic. Oh

01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:11.260
my God. A topic for another episode. I can't

01:01:11.260 --> 01:01:15.380
English. I'm sorry. I've had a day. Did you see

01:01:15.380 --> 01:01:17.940
anything about the selling off of federal lands?

01:01:21.059 --> 01:01:25.440
To China or to other people? To like BlackRock.

01:01:27.820 --> 01:01:31.639
No. That was floated the other day. I don't know

01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:33.559
if it got approved, but it got floated, the idea

01:01:33.559 --> 01:01:37.340
of selling off a bunch of land. I would rather

01:01:37.340 --> 01:01:42.119
have BlackRock own them than China. Here's my

01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:45.500
question to both you and everyone else at home.

01:01:46.699 --> 01:01:48.800
If people can find some information on that,

01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:50.639
because that was literally trending for like

01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:53.820
six hours the other day, and then for some reason

01:01:53.820 --> 01:01:57.170
it just vanished. So I can't find anything official

01:01:57.170 --> 01:01:58.590
on the House floor or anything like that about

01:01:58.590 --> 01:02:00.829
it, but people were claiming that a bill got

01:02:00.829 --> 01:02:04.750
passed or was getting voted on. And I guess it

01:02:04.750 --> 01:02:09.389
brought up the question of how would you feel

01:02:09.389 --> 01:02:11.989
if to reduce debt and to reduce the overcrowding

01:02:11.989 --> 01:02:14.989
we started selling federal land for cities to

01:02:14.989 --> 01:02:22.369
be built on? Yeah, let's do an episode on that.

01:02:22.969 --> 01:02:25.539
That's what I thought. Some new cities would

01:02:25.539 --> 01:02:29.599
not hurt, but I don't want them to be corporate

01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:33.760
cities. See, now you're picking up on it. We

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:36.440
have an episode on the docket for cities of the

01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:39.300
future. Well, this is kind of what I'm tying

01:02:39.300 --> 01:02:41.199
into. I was curious if you had heard anything,

01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:42.539
and I was curious if I was going to see anything

01:02:42.539 --> 01:02:46.320
in chat, but no. I think I might have got bamboozled

01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:50.420
online. It happens. AI videos are a thing, man.

01:02:51.099 --> 01:02:52.739
Dude, some of them are getting way too good.

01:02:53.150 --> 01:02:54.269
Like, they keep getting better and better every

01:02:54.269 --> 01:03:00.110
week. Hey, VO3 turned one month old just a few

01:03:00.110 --> 01:03:05.670
days ago. Oh, God. So give it five more months.

01:03:06.789 --> 01:03:09.829
No. Yeah, buddy. We talked about that. No, let's

01:03:09.829 --> 01:03:13.550
not do that. You know what's going to be scary

01:03:13.550 --> 01:03:16.110
are the kids that are being born now that by

01:03:16.110 --> 01:03:17.570
the time they're old enough to comprehend what's

01:03:17.570 --> 01:03:18.550
going on, they're going to grow up in the AI

01:03:18.550 --> 01:03:26.610
world. It'd be terrifying. Yeah. You know what's

01:03:26.610 --> 01:03:30.630
an even scarier thought? There might not be kids

01:03:30.630 --> 01:03:36.510
being born after the next 10, 15 years. They're

01:03:36.510 --> 01:03:42.769
going to be born somewhere. I don't think India's

01:03:42.769 --> 01:03:44.369
stopping anytime soon. They've got a history

01:03:44.369 --> 01:03:47.869
of that, man. Well, I mean here, with the rate

01:03:47.869 --> 01:03:51.440
of development and everything. I think generation

01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:56.980
maybe beta is probably going to be the last generation

01:03:56.980 --> 01:04:02.019
that has kids the traditional way. Well, I mean,

01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:05.039
most people can't afford kids, so there's no...

01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:12.800
Yeah. Yeah, maybe. You might be right. Who knows?

01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:16.079
They might be adopting AI kids to reprogram them.

01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:21.260
Like Tamagotchis. They're just going to be more

01:04:21.260 --> 01:04:25.900
expensive Tamagotchis. Oh, my God. Man, this

01:04:25.900 --> 01:04:27.659
one won't shut the fuck up. I'm going to recode

01:04:27.659 --> 01:04:33.239
it. Oh, God. Last little fucking topic segue.

01:04:34.139 --> 01:04:39.400
They achieved CRISPR without using CRISPR by

01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:48.239
using goo. I'm sorry, you have to be more specific

01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:52.300
with, and I quote, goo. Well, basically they

01:04:52.300 --> 01:04:56.239
used a virus or something along those lines to

01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:01.719
achieve CRISPR level results in vivo, so in a

01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:10.179
living adult, not a placenta -based child. Ah.

01:05:12.619 --> 01:05:19.570
How? What? I'll send you the article. Okay, because

01:05:19.570 --> 01:05:22.170
I'll have to read that. But how could they pot?

01:05:22.969 --> 01:05:24.889
I don't like this dystopian future we're going

01:05:24.889 --> 01:05:28.849
into. It's getting weird. My first thought was

01:05:28.849 --> 01:05:31.989
how can it be turned into a weapon? Oh, yeah.

01:05:33.170 --> 01:05:38.130
My second thought was maybe COVID was a test

01:05:38.130 --> 01:05:43.659
run. Yeah, no, I'm good. Thanks. I'm telling

01:05:43.659 --> 01:05:45.800
you that right now. If COVID Part 2 comes, I'm

01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:50.340
not abided by a fucking rule. Nope. Nope. Nope.

01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:52.980
Did that once. No. Did my part. Never again.

01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:58.239
No. No. I didn't abide by the first rules. They

01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:02.260
can eat my entire ass. I unfortunately live in

01:06:02.260 --> 01:06:05.300
an area where if I didn't, I wouldn't be allowed

01:06:05.300 --> 01:06:08.579
to do anything. I wouldn't have done anything.

01:06:08.820 --> 01:06:11.599
They can eat my entire ass. Every square inch

01:06:11.599 --> 01:06:14.659
of it. And there's a lot of square inches. You

01:06:14.659 --> 01:06:16.760
live in an area where no one gives a shit, which

01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:20.360
is very nice. Everyone's just very nice and chill.

01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:22.139
In my area, everyone's very uptight, but you've

01:06:22.139 --> 01:06:32.800
got to follow the rules. I am the rules. I think

01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:35.699
we're far enough off topic and everything. We've

01:06:35.699 --> 01:06:41.510
covered all the points we wanted to cover. I

01:06:41.510 --> 01:06:44.289
guess keep a lookout for any weirdness happening

01:06:44.289 --> 01:06:46.929
in any of the other war zones because I think

01:06:46.929 --> 01:06:49.869
this is going to be a distraction. I fully expect,

01:06:50.010 --> 01:06:52.590
by the way, China to move in on Taiwan or at

01:06:52.590 --> 01:06:54.710
least start making advancements and start encroaching.

01:06:55.190 --> 01:06:57.789
And honestly, not just the war zones. Keep your

01:06:57.789 --> 01:06:59.690
head on a swivel for the next few weeks around

01:06:59.690 --> 01:07:04.690
your towns. Just because, like I said, the lone

01:07:04.690 --> 01:07:07.690
wolf stuff, we're going to start gathering together

01:07:07.690 --> 01:07:11.750
for events for the next couple of weeks. I hate,

01:07:11.869 --> 01:07:17.090
I fucking hate saying this. If you see something

01:07:17.090 --> 01:07:19.610
out of place, don't be afraid to fucking just

01:07:19.610 --> 01:07:24.210
keep an eye on it. Trust your gut. Yeah, trust

01:07:24.210 --> 01:07:26.530
your gut. The old see something, say something

01:07:26.530 --> 01:07:29.070
campaign. Well, you don't necessarily have to

01:07:29.070 --> 01:07:31.130
say something, but just keep your fucking eye

01:07:31.130 --> 01:07:35.750
out. Keep note of it and make actions accordingly.

01:07:36.130 --> 01:07:38.869
If you feel uncomfortable, fucking say it and

01:07:38.869 --> 01:07:43.860
get out of there. Yes, as another famous YouTuber

01:07:43.860 --> 01:07:50.099
likes to say, act accordingly. Absolutely. With

01:07:50.099 --> 01:07:53.639
how crazy things are nowadays and how between

01:07:53.639 --> 01:07:55.340
all the different riots and everything else that's

01:07:55.340 --> 01:08:00.300
been going on. Did you hear what happened the

01:08:00.300 --> 01:08:04.340
other day at one of the No Kings riots? Oh, Lord.

01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:07.699
There were a bunch of socialists basically at

01:08:07.699 --> 01:08:12.460
that event. No. Yeah, I know. What a shock. Well,

01:08:12.539 --> 01:08:13.860
one of them was walking around with a rifle.

01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:15.500
The other one had a couple of pistols. And I

01:08:15.500 --> 01:08:17.520
guess they were scared with the guy with the

01:08:17.520 --> 01:08:19.300
rifle. So the guy with the pistols fired first.

01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:20.880
And the guy with the rifle ran away and then

01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:22.500
fired back. And I guess the guy with the pistols

01:08:22.500 --> 01:08:24.880
killed some innocent guys. But the police arrested

01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:28.079
the guy with the rifle. And then now they're

01:08:28.079 --> 01:08:30.439
realizing he did nothing legally wrong. Because

01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:33.159
since he leans left, he is allowed to open carry

01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:34.939
a rifle, which in that area you're not allowed

01:08:34.939 --> 01:08:38.420
to. You know, because of the politics, it's fine.

01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:39.840
You know, it's okay because they're different.

01:08:40.340 --> 01:08:42.119
Democrats are different. That's how that works.

01:08:43.779 --> 01:08:45.840
But yeah, and yet the news hasn't reported on

01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:49.319
it at all. I've heard nothing. Yeah, I know.

01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:53.920
It's great. Just throw a little hypocrisy. Just

01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:56.380
pointing out the hypocrisy in there. Great man,

01:08:56.439 --> 01:09:01.539
by the way. Hypocrisy. Oh, yeah. I've literally

01:09:01.539 --> 01:09:04.989
never heard of them. Yeah, they're good. Okay,

01:09:05.050 --> 01:09:08.689
I'll look them up after this. Virus, great track

01:09:08.689 --> 01:09:16.609
or great album. Seems very timely. Very apropos.

01:09:16.930 --> 01:09:20.649
But yeah, just keep an eye out for the media.

01:09:20.689 --> 01:09:22.470
They've been purposely not reporting a lot of

01:09:22.470 --> 01:09:26.470
shit lately. Independent media is your best source

01:09:26.470 --> 01:09:31.810
in this kind of a situation. I will shamelessly

01:09:31.810 --> 01:09:35.890
plug a couple of them. I really think there's

01:09:35.890 --> 01:09:37.550
independent media that's way better than any

01:09:37.550 --> 01:09:41.409
of the mainstreams. Yeah. So, you know, please,

01:09:41.590 --> 01:09:47.729
please follow them. They're way better. As much

01:09:47.729 --> 01:09:53.170
as I like to try to look for, you know, user

01:09:53.170 --> 01:09:56.970
-generated videos, like user -recorded stuff.

01:09:58.660 --> 01:10:02.340
With the advent of all the AI bullshit, you've

01:10:02.340 --> 01:10:05.840
really got to be on your fucking game to look

01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:12.760
to see what's fake and what's not. Yeah, I've

01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:15.920
been bamboozled a couple times so far. So I've

01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:19.119
had to dig deep and be like, ah, shit. So I do

01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:20.859
recommend staying away from mainstream media

01:10:20.859 --> 01:10:22.119
because even they're starting to fall for the

01:10:22.119 --> 01:10:24.460
bullshit. Like I saw one of them. That's bad.

01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:27.239
Well, when the Ukraine war started, they were

01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:30.199
posting Arma 3 footage. Arma 2, Arma 3 footage.

01:10:31.180 --> 01:10:34.039
And I saw that and was like, wait a minute. I

01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:36.659
know that map. I know Tana. Wait, what? I know

01:10:36.659 --> 01:10:39.140
a Tana. And I saw it and was like, oh, you fucking

01:10:39.140 --> 01:10:41.340
idiots. Because it showed like a sea whiz trying

01:10:41.340 --> 01:10:44.600
to shoot down like an SU -27 flanker going by.

01:10:44.920 --> 01:10:47.460
Yeah. And I was like, this is not Ukraine at

01:10:47.460 --> 01:10:49.920
all. This is, motherfucker, this is tropical.

01:10:50.700 --> 01:10:54.380
just now even topography like do you do you even

01:10:54.380 --> 01:11:00.960
understand do you topograph so it's not the first

01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:04.979
time and won't be the last oh no but i personally

01:11:04.979 --> 01:11:07.600
i will say i i do get a lot of my stuff from

01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:10.619
uh tim pool i do like his stuff even though i

01:11:10.619 --> 01:11:13.300
don't always agree with everything he says he's

01:11:13.300 --> 01:11:15.479
probably the gateway for you to get into independent

01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:19.050
media Just cause he, he's very honest and he

01:11:19.050 --> 01:11:21.489
does admit when he fucks up and that's unlike

01:11:21.489 --> 01:11:23.449
basically every other mainstream media person.

01:11:23.529 --> 01:11:30.789
So, yeah. Um, yeah, but, uh, yeah. Um, anything

01:11:30.789 --> 01:11:33.510
else you want to, uh, the only other thing I

01:11:33.510 --> 01:11:35.329
wanted to plug and I was curious if you'd watch

01:11:35.329 --> 01:11:36.909
this cause this might be another episode too.

01:11:37.069 --> 01:11:40.270
Did you watch the, the Tucker debate with, um,

01:11:40.350 --> 01:11:45.699
Oh God, what's it? Yes. I caught bits and pieces

01:11:45.699 --> 01:11:49.760
of it. Okay. So this is the other part of the

01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:51.640
debate that we don't really have time to go into

01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:54.359
tonight because I think we both need to watch

01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:58.699
that podcast. I do want to do an episode of basically

01:11:58.699 --> 01:12:01.279
how our politicians are selling us out because

01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:04.220
if anyone at home wants to watch it, don't watch

01:12:04.220 --> 01:12:05.880
it because you're a supporter or anything. Watch

01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:11.800
it because you get to see in real time who the

01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:14.600
swamp is. and why these kind of people are pushing

01:12:14.600 --> 01:12:16.119
us to these kind of wars and this kind of stuff.

01:12:16.979 --> 01:12:19.619
Ted Cruz was not somebody I was super into. He

01:12:19.619 --> 01:12:22.000
has proposed some good things and has done some

01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:24.859
good stuff. But his interview with Tucker Carlson,

01:12:24.939 --> 01:12:27.119
I will tell you right now, I don't think Ted

01:12:27.119 --> 01:12:28.600
Cruz is going to win another election. I think

01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:32.220
he's done. He has sunk his entire legacy and

01:12:32.220 --> 01:12:33.699
everything he's worked for in the last 20 -something

01:12:33.699 --> 01:12:36.600
years in politics in one, like, one -hour interview.

01:12:37.199 --> 01:12:40.449
It is, if you want to... up to date as to why

01:12:40.449 --> 01:12:43.470
maybe we push so hard to defend israel he is

01:12:43.470 --> 01:12:46.130
one of the reasons why and it will give you a

01:12:46.130 --> 01:12:48.489
lot of historical context in terms of our political

01:12:48.489 --> 01:12:50.930
parties as to why we've been so dead set on defending

01:12:50.930 --> 01:12:55.329
israel for the last 40 years so just watch it

01:12:55.329 --> 01:12:58.670
trust me you'll thank me or you'll be tearing

01:12:58.670 --> 01:13:00.369
your hair out and cussing me out i don't know

01:13:00.369 --> 01:13:10.149
but it's worth a watch yep because yeah So, well,

01:13:10.189 --> 01:13:16.590
yeah, other than that, I didn't talk to you about

01:13:16.590 --> 01:13:18.550
this ahead of time, but I want to put out a challenge

01:13:18.550 --> 01:13:22.829
to all the listeners. If you're still here, share

01:13:22.829 --> 01:13:26.970
the podcast with one or two people that you know

01:13:26.970 --> 01:13:31.289
that you think would enjoy the podcast. Just

01:13:31.289 --> 01:13:34.449
trying to spread the information, spread the

01:13:34.449 --> 01:13:39.569
knowledge. Because we have apparently been prophets

01:13:39.569 --> 01:13:43.630
and predicted way more than we should have. So

01:13:43.630 --> 01:13:49.270
get the information out there. Share the love.

01:13:49.989 --> 01:13:53.090
So I challenge you guys to share it with people

01:13:53.090 --> 01:13:58.810
that are in your circle. Absolutely. Share it

01:13:58.810 --> 01:14:00.489
with other people that enjoy these kind of conversations

01:14:00.489 --> 01:14:03.510
and discussions. You never know. You can learn

01:14:03.510 --> 01:14:05.050
something from anyone. Anyone can learn something

01:14:05.050 --> 01:14:08.189
from this podcast. So give it a shot. Give it

01:14:08.189 --> 01:14:11.409
a share. Give it a try. Hell yeah. Hey, at the

01:14:11.409 --> 01:14:12.890
worst case, even if we just make you question

01:14:12.890 --> 01:14:15.609
your sanity, we are still doing our job. That's

01:14:15.609 --> 01:14:22.270
the goal. That's our baseline minimum. That and

01:14:22.270 --> 01:14:26.729
making you uncomfortable. You know, you're really

01:14:26.729 --> 01:14:29.289
good at saying something that makes me question

01:14:29.289 --> 01:14:33.560
everything. Every week, buddy. That's always

01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:37.060
the goal. And besides, I just do want to apologize

01:14:37.060 --> 01:14:40.659
for my inconsistent schedule with life. So hopefully

01:14:40.659 --> 01:14:43.460
things give me a couple of weeks. We got some

01:14:43.460 --> 01:14:45.180
stuff because we got holidays coming up. We're

01:14:45.180 --> 01:14:47.260
going to be trying to do our best to get some

01:14:47.260 --> 01:14:50.060
episodes out and get some things going. Just

01:14:50.060 --> 01:14:52.140
for reference, we're probably going to Mondays

01:14:52.140 --> 01:14:56.020
for a little while instead of Sundays. So just

01:14:56.020 --> 01:15:00.600
a heads up. Yeah. So the quick story is in my

01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:05.880
area, it has rained 14 weekends in a row. It's

01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:09.060
a record for Massachusetts. That's pretty moist.

01:15:12.979 --> 01:15:21.039
Fuck you. Just, you know, I'm trying. Anyway,

01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:25.510
you know, I'm. Fuck you. Right off your rails.

01:15:26.829 --> 01:15:31.029
Absolutely. So the point I'm getting at is I

01:15:31.029 --> 01:15:34.170
now have to do like three to four months of yard

01:15:34.170 --> 01:15:40.810
work to catch up on. And I have been struggling

01:15:40.810 --> 01:15:43.329
to give you an idea. I literally had just to

01:15:43.329 --> 01:15:44.850
order a new weed whacker. I burned out the other

01:15:44.850 --> 01:15:47.529
one. It's dead. Wow. It died within a few weeks.

01:15:47.670 --> 01:15:52.220
So like goats. You know, you're the third person

01:15:52.220 --> 01:15:56.239
to suggest that to me. But my problem is I spent

01:15:56.239 --> 01:15:57.899
my entire life taking care of farm animals I

01:15:57.899 --> 01:16:00.279
never wanted. So then for people to suggest goats,

01:16:00.380 --> 01:16:02.180
another animal for me to have to pay money to

01:16:02.180 --> 01:16:05.079
take care of? No, no. You rent them, like, by

01:16:05.079 --> 01:16:08.659
the day. I know. They're $1 ,000 to do half my

01:16:08.659 --> 01:16:13.119
yard. Yeah, I got so invested in this, I got

01:16:13.119 --> 01:16:17.369
a fucking quote. And guess what I was told? Oh

01:16:17.369 --> 01:16:19.109
yeah, for the week and for the several acres

01:16:19.109 --> 01:16:20.729
you need to cut and for the thick bramble and

01:16:20.729 --> 01:16:22.689
bush and shit, yeah, it's probably about $1 ,000.

01:16:24.409 --> 01:16:27.470
So, hear me out. Buy goats and rent them out.

01:16:28.229 --> 01:16:30.590
Yeah, I know. But then I'm back to the problem

01:16:30.590 --> 01:16:33.449
of I'm then taking care of animals I don't want,

01:16:33.630 --> 01:16:37.949
but they make money. Yes. They're doing what

01:16:37.949 --> 01:16:40.909
the other animals didn't. I know. I'll be honest

01:16:40.909 --> 01:16:41.970
with you, I hate to say it, I already have the

01:16:41.970 --> 01:16:45.869
horse fences up anyway. I'm already 50 -50 debate

01:16:45.869 --> 01:16:49.449
on getting goats or even getting a cow. Both

01:16:49.449 --> 01:16:51.750
are good. I feel like the farm life keeps choosing

01:16:51.750 --> 01:16:54.909
me. I don't choose the farm life, but it just,

01:16:55.010 --> 01:16:58.350
I don't know, it forces itself back into my life

01:16:58.350 --> 01:17:01.029
every fucking time. It's just going to keep spitting

01:17:01.029 --> 01:17:03.590
on it and shoving it to you. So, we'll catch

01:17:03.590 --> 01:17:06.270
you guys hopefully next week. I don't like that

01:17:06.270 --> 01:17:10.270
view for this one. It's going to hawk to it.

01:17:11.650 --> 01:17:17.630
Right to you. You're done. You're done. Yeah.

01:17:18.430 --> 01:17:22.489
So we love you guys. We hope that you'll share

01:17:22.489 --> 01:17:25.609
the episode, share the podcast, and continue

01:17:25.609 --> 01:17:27.989
to stick with us. We've still got some great

01:17:27.989 --> 01:17:31.289
stuff coming, and hopefully we can make Johnny

01:17:31.289 --> 01:17:35.050
Sins jealous. So we will catch you guys on the

01:17:35.050 --> 01:17:36.970
next one. We love you.
