Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you
through the parts of your day you normally dread.
Why suffer through the existential crisis of
life alone when you can do it with us? And now
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics
that dance that line like a toddler dances on
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated
I. For immature audiences only. In a show of
force, after first stating that he would give
them two weeks, America has initiated a strike
on Iran, thereby proving the president had no
intention of edging himself for that long. The
strikes were carried out by a group of freedom
Doritos, dropping groups of MOPs, moist oral
penetrators, and a couple of subs firing Tomahawk
missiles like it was the Fourth of July. Welcome
to the Now We Consume podcast. I'm your host,
Pip. Here, as always, with my co -host, Gibbs.
You mentioned the president edging himself. I
don't like this. I don't like your intro. Once
again, I don't like that. It was the most beautiful
edging ever in the history of ever. I think I'm
good. I think I'm taking a leave of absence.
Melania, come here. I need you to help me with
the edging. You know, I would give him credit
if he could still get it up at his age. Like
that is that is a life goal of mine at that age.
But to be 75 and still walking around just penis
first. Yes. I need to break my dick off when
I run into a door and not my nose. God, so you're
gonna be that weird guy that walks around with
a leash and don't want to have to tell women
why. Uh -huh. I walk myself. Thank you. Jesus.
So a quick side note, we are going to be talking
about all the bullshit going on in the Middle
East this week, but we are dropping two episodes
this week. The one you're currently listening
to and one that was done last night. I had an
opportunity to do an interview with some Gen
Z kids. Give it a chance. It actually turned
out a lot better than I thought it would. My
son, Josh. A couple of his friends were involved.
We had a good time. The episode went long enough,
or the interview rather, went long enough to
be a whole episode in and of itself. We were
going to include it as a bonus extra at the end
of this episode, but we decided to just go ahead
and give it its whole own show listing. So it
is audio only. They were cool with doing the
interview, but they did not want to do it on
camera. So there is that. But check that out.
It was a good time. And if Gibbs can keep his
equipment together, we'll just keep going with
the show. Sorry, my microphone condom fell off.
The whole foam thing and everything just hit
me. That was weird. It scared the shit out of
me. I'm not used to a microphone attacking me.
Well, you know, when that piece falls off, now
you're just going to have microphone babies.
So it's okay. I know. It's going to be weird.
It's going to be loud. So, yeah. This has been
a fun week. We delivered a boatload of freedom
to Iran, and we're going to see what happens
now. Well, it's been an interesting development
when I do have to give him a bit of credit that
at least it was done in the probably least intrusive
way when it comes to American involvement. yeah
you know it's it's one of those things where
it had to happen i understand it we'll go over
the details but right i'm just glad at the end
of the day no american lives have been lost in
that and that's actually a big step up from almost
every single other gauge we had the middle east
exactly so and uh one little point of note or
note of point rather uh this is everything that
we know and have access to as of the evening
of june 23rd 2025 when we're recording this uh
in fact Right before we started the episode,
we caught a major update. And it was enough to
even make us question doing the episode. But
after talking with each other, we felt there
was still enough going on that it was worth continuing
on with. We did have to change a little bit of
the topic information, but there's still... Maybe
not so much fire and smoke, but there are still
enough other maybe tertiary threats or ancillary
threats at least. So we're going to kind of focus
on those a little more than we were going to
focus on all the stuff with Iran and Israel themselves.
So there's still so much surrounding this and
this is this problem of Iran. It has really been
a problem since the mid -late 90s, and the fact
that it's still not going away. This is a Band
-Aid, so I think there's a lot more outside of
this to discuss. Sure, the strike on the nuclear
research facility and development facility went
well, but that's a small bit of a large piece
that has to do with the Middle East. So just
about an hour ago at this point, it came out
that a ceasefire agreement has been reached.
So that is a major step forward in this whole
ordeal. I sent that to you, Gibbs. Yes. Yeah.
So I basically from on the 24th or the morning
of the 24th here on the East Coast, basically
there will be an effective ceasefire. Yeah. Between
Iran and Israel. Yes. And from what he was. I
don't know if you want me to read it or just
go ahead. Summary. Yeah. I was going to say.
Because I just wanted the words right here cuz
I think some of the words here a bit important
with what's used He says, you know, congratulations
This is on this transpose from truth social because
it's not on Twitter or anything like that. You
have to go there to get it That's correct. Congratulations
to everyone it has been fully agreed by between
Israel and Iran that there will be a complete
and total ceasefire and Approximately six hours
from now or basically in the morning of the 24th
Between Israel and Iran have wound down and completed
their progress final missions For 12 hours, at
which point the war will be considered ended
officially, that Iran will start the ceasefire,
and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the
ceasefire, and upon the 24th hour, an official
end to the 12 -day war will be saluted by the
world. Basically, he's just talking about there's
an effective ceasefire in place. But the concern
here is, number one, will both sides honor it?
Will there be any shenanigans going on afterwards?
Or is this just a stopgap measure? Because the
problem has been with Iran, again, really since
the 90s, is we've heard this for, I want to say
every election cycle since Bush v. Gore back
in 2000, it's been every single election cycle
is Iran is one or two years away from nukes.
Iran is one or two years away. They're going
to drop the nukes. And it's like, yes, I 100
% understand Iran. Just for some background for
everybody, they are the biggest sponsor of terrorism
in the world. They're responsible for millions
of deaths. They're responsible for billions and
trillions of dollars worth of destruction. Most
of those terrorism groups that we've seen internationally,
either a majority or a large part of the money
and funding and weapons, everything comes from
Iran. And Iran has relatively close ties with
Russia and China. So in a way, it's another proxy
war, just like you had Vietnam and Korea. to
where they are the proxy of the Eastern powers
like Russia and China. So that's why Israel's
kind of our proxy in the West, you know, for
America and kind of parts of Europe for the Middle
East. So it's been this proxy war for well over
20 years. And it's been building to a moment
of what will happen. And this has been kind of
the boiling point of a decision had to be made.
The good news. The strike went well. And I don't
know if you saw the photos of what was. So there's
a bit of background to this because I want to
explain something. There were topographical changes
made to that mountaintop in Fordow. The geology
will never be the same in that area. It is permanently
changed. So here's some background information.
Back in the mid to early 2000s, we were developing
some of the armor penetrating bombs. or called
bunker busters, essentially. So we had those
developed and it was public knowledge that they
could go about 200 to 250 feet down. So the Iranians
thinking they're smart, they're like, oh, we're
going to build us three to 400 feet down. They
forgot that we're really good at making things
that go boom and putting it right in your face.
Also, we're really good at aiming. Well, yeah,
especially nowadays with the GPS guided stuff
that they have, they can get it within a few
inches. So they spent all this time in all these
years building this secret underground nuclear
bunker thinking we're safe. We're good. There's
only going down 250 feet. You dumb shits. Do
you understand that that was over a decade ago
when those came out? And they're like, oh yeah,
we're fine. We're a threat to anybody. Yeah,
no. Absolutely not. The bombers were already
on the way back before anyone even knew they
were there. That's how effective they were. There
were no radar signatures figured out. Nobody
called it. Nobody, nothing. Nobody leaked anything
on Slack. No, which is interesting, by the way,
that Trump purposefully didn't tell anybody.
Yeah. That was happening. It was literally like
five people that knew. Which, and can I make
a quick point here? Because I think people need
to understand. This is a slight point into politics
that I think we do have to discuss as a bit of
a framework here. The president is allowed. He
is the commander in chief of the military. He
has the sole authority to move the military as
seen fit with these kind of missions and sorties
and kind of different responsibilities. He does
not need Congress's permission to do something
like this. It is not official declaration of
war. Doesn't he have like 30 days after he initiates
some kind of like military engagement before
he has to seek approval to? Correct. Yeah, that's
what I thought it was. I thought it was two weeks
in some cases, but usually about a month. Now,
there's a reason for this historical context,
because I want to give people this to understand
why. It is because our founding fathers came
from England to where they were used to parliamentary
procedure, where when a war would break out or
something would happen, the parliament would
be busy arguing for weeks before anything was
ever done. In the case of the French and Indian
War and a few other things that happened between
other major powers, they saw that parliamentary
procedure, quite frankly, took too long. So that's
why the executive branch has sole authority over
the military. So for anybody online that's saying,
oh, he doesn't have the authority to do that,
he doesn't have the authority to declare war.
First of all, he did not declare war. And second
of all, he is the commander in chief. He can
do what he wants. Third of all, you guys know
that Obama did that well over 600, 700 times.
Biden did that over 200 times. George Bush did
that thousands of times. almost every president
i can keep going down the list i can get you
numbers but almost all of them have ordered strikes
in countries that we are not at war with it is
unfortunate that because i disagree with it fundamentally
it's an unfortunate part of i guess american
politics that we're kind of forced into i don't
agree with the idea of dropping bombs on any
other country that we're not at war with because
quite frankly we don't need to be the world police
you don't need to be you know the military force
of the world team america but but At the same
point, this became one of those problems of,
well, do we not do anything? Because Iran was
also launching a lot of missiles at Israel. And
I'm not a big defender of Israel. I'll be honest
with you. I'm not one of those people that thinks
we should sacrifice a bunch to defend them. But
it enters the problem of their only ally in the
region. So, like, it's one of those things that,
like, they're not a great country, but, like,
they're the only country that kind of has our
backs. I guess we're kind of stuck there. I know
I'm getting a little lost in the weeds in politics,
but I want to give some framework before we discuss
everything else because I feel like some people
are going to get hung up on, well, everything
is illegal. No, it's not. No, it's not. He's
perfectly within his rights as president to do
this. So speaking of launching missiles, I would
like to point out a mere five hours prior to
this announcement of a ceasefire agreement, Iran
launched a dozen missiles at, I'm going to butcher
the pronunciation, Al Uded, I think it is, air
base in Qatar. Yes. The biggest air base in the
region, our base. They launched a dozen missiles
at our base. Now, they were all intercepted,
so no damage was done. But why are they launching
missiles just before they're telling Trump, yeah,
hey, we're ready for peace? I personally, me,
Pip. think that this is maybe some kind of a
ploy to just bide their time. Reason being, just
within the last couple days, they were threatening
to retaliate by means of terror attacks here
in the States. What's next weekend? Well, no,
the weekend after is 4th of July. That's this
weekend. No, that's what I'm saying. Next weekend.
Not this coming weekend. Next weekend. Oh, no,
you're right. Yeah. No, it's the 4th of July.
Yeah. So I'm wondering, is that when they're
going to get the wild hair up their ass? They've
had years to plan. We've had years of open borders.
They've had years of logistical support from
other countries to just get into the country
by other means through the ports. Oh, yeah. I
could tinfoil hat my way and red string cork
board. how all this shit could happen but i don't
think people want to sit here and listen to that
so i'm just saying it is a non -zero chance where
that's an absolute possibility uh one other point
of uh one other big point i would like to make
this morning our time israel went into some of
those sites that we hit. I don't think they,
I don't know if they went to all three sites,
but I know they went to at least four dough.
They went in boots on the ground. There was another
assault and they were also doing an onsite assessment
between the ground team and aerial surveillance.
One thing they did not find was the presence
of radiation. So that concerns me for a couple
of reasons. Either A, they did not actually have
any uranium, and this is like the second biggest
Intel foobar in U .S. history, or B, they moved
all the uranium, and they still have it all,
which is why I'm concerned that this is them
biding time. So here's a point I'd like to make.
This is where I not only agree with you, but
I'm even going to double down on it. Okay. Iran
has been funding the Taliban and other guerrilla
terrorist organizations for decades. They know
how to maneuver and hide stuff. And they're especially
experts at hiding things in mountainous areas
where there's caves and caverns and other stuff
and ways to maneuver things. I fully expected
that they would have moved the uranium weeks
ago. Yeah. Because why would they keep it there?
As soon as that was made public that it was there,
they probably already moved it. But we're playing
a weird game of intelligence bingo where it's
kind of. If we know where it's at, we can't say
where it is, so we can't acknowledge what it
is, because then they'll move it, then they know.
It's like that problem of they know that we know
that they know, so they know that we know, so
we know that they know. It's that stupid fucking
thing that happens every time. It's the Spider
-Man memes. Oh, yeah. But that's the thing. If
Trump is smart, he's playing a long game where...
And hopefully he already knows where that's going
to be moved to. Right. So the idea is you get
it out of where you don't want it to be and move
it to somewhere where you do want. Oh, what I'm
hoping, what I'm hoping is they're moving it
to somewhere else that they think is secure,
that it's not. So here's my worry. I don't know.
I don't know if you heard from, um, Oh God, our,
our intelligence, um, uh, the, she ran for president.
What's her name? The military chick that ran
for president in the Democratic Party. I can't
remember her name. Tulsi Gabbard. She mentioned,
so her issue was that Iran's nuclear program,
they had not quite refined uranium to the point
for nuclear weapons, but it was refined to the
point for dirty bombs. So here's my bigger worry.
It's not that they were going to develop nuclear
weapons, because to be honest with you, we have
enough information to where if they launched
a nuclear missile, We can intercept or defeat
it or do something or negate part of it at least.
Well, it was never nuclear missiles we were worried
about. It was the truck bombs. It was the ship
bombs. It was the suitcase bombs. That's the
stuff we've been worried about. And the dirty
bombs. Well, that's what I'm more concerned about,
to be honest with you, because it was at a level
to be classified under a dirty bomb. And I don't
know if you remember, but remember all the drone
testing that was doing supposedly around New
Jersey and everywhere else that they were looking
for radioactive material? Here's what I wonder,
is I wonder if all the events that seemed unrelated
for the last six months to a year actually are
related. Right. To where I wonder if we found
out a couple of years ago, like, hey, by the
way, it seems like Iran's going to have the ability
to make a dirty bomb. Maybe we should run some
tests to figure out how to be able to find. in
thickly developed cities, thickly developed areas
to be able to neutralize it or at least effectively
figure it out. That's where I wonder where maybe
was there some sort of prior planning with this?
Have they been playing the long game where, hey,
do they have people infiltrated that are trying
to have it move to somewhere else that's out
in the middle of nowhere? So let me tickle your
noodle here for a second. The other day, there
were some flights from China into Iran. They
switched off their transponders. Yeah. Maybe
that's where the uranium went. That's what I
wonder. We do not know what was on those planes,
either landing or taking off. I bet you U .S.
intelligence knows, though, because we have satellites
that can get imagery at any time. I bet you the
intelligence community is aware of it, but they
just can't say. Possibly. And if, I mean, that
would be smart just to play dumb. Because that's
exactly what I would do. If I was Trump's intelligence
team, I wouldn't say shit. Oh, yeah. Learn everything
and say nothing. This is traditional. Speak softly.
Carry a big stick. If they're smart. Here's my
concern as well with this. If we don't know where
it is. Then we're in trouble. The problem is,
well, yeah, because you're talking about the
sleeper cell issue. Yes. Which. could become
catastrophic, especially with, again, our still
lack of closed borders and our still terrible
immigration system. It could be the case of all
it takes is one of those in the wrong spot. And
it's not just a lot of people dying, it's a lot
of people having medical issues down the road.
It's generations of people not being able to
procreate. It's entire areas of the country being
uninhabitable, just like another Chernobyl. So
I hope that they're taking this seriously enough
to where when they have not confirmed, the nuclear
material being there that they need to figure
out oh shit okay this is move this is here but
i'm hoping they already are three steps ahead
yeah because i would assume at this point we
have some intelligence officials in iran yeah
i mean we're getting intel from israel so we
hope that massage is as good as they say they
are uh but one other thing i want to point out
um there have been reports that iranian manpad
missiles um MANPAD is Man Portable Aerial Defense
Missiles. They have confirmed, reportedly, through
apprehended couriers that the missile systems
were smuggled into America at some point through
the southern border over the last few years.
So they have apprehended the people that were
smuggling the hardware. And to try to lessen
their sentence or whatever, they're just giving
up intel and they're confirming these systems
were smuggled in. These missiles are not just
anti -air. You can use them dumbfire mode and
engage bridges, trucks, buildings, anything.
They can be tipped with material like those,
the dirty bomb components. So, it's not that
big of a stretch to say, again, the tinfoil hat
and the red string corkboard. The possibilities
are there. See, I don't really think it's that
tinfoil hat -y, to be honest with you. Because
we're talking about a country that literally
their expertise is global terrorism. That's the
one part about this that I think people are underplaying.
It's not like you're dealing with like Kazakhstan
or a country that like really doesn't have a
lot of money and a lot of connections. You're
talking about Iran, a country full of like, I
think it's, you know what? I want to look this
up right now because I forgot how many people
because I looked it up earlier. I'll look up
how many people are in Iran. I'm going to guess
40 million. 90 .61. Wow. So the thing is, it's
not a small country. It's like double the size
of England. Right. Well, sorry, double the size
of Canada. England's like 60 million. So, like,
you have a country double the size of Canada
in terms of population. That is a country that,
man, if you get 0 .01 % of them becoming extremists,
that's a big fighting force. That is no joke.
And especially with their backwards laws and
everything else they have there, it is something
of a concern. Yeah. And, I mean... Not only this.
So you've got Israel and Iran. That whole situation
is its own ball of wax. You've still got Russia
and Ukraine. You've got China with the potential
to take on Taiwan while everyone's distracted.
You've got North Korea who could take advantage
of this and just pull some shenanigans with South
Korea. Just fucking because. Because that's Kim
Jong. I'm fucking five foot tall. You know what
I was thinking about earlier? Do we have any
Pacific forces near Taiwan right now, or have
they moved all entirely to the Middle East? I
think they've got one force still over there.
I do not know that off the top of my head, but
I think. Because I couldn't look it up earlier.
Yeah. I was discussing with some of the guys
at work about it. I know they moved the Nimitz
from there. Yes. That's a potential false flag
operation right there just waiting to happen.
Oh, I was placing bets with friends about that
was going to be a false flag today. to get us
in the war. Well, they're, you know, they're,
the Nimitz is still on its way. So we got two
weeks, buddy. That's what worries me. That's
what I'm talking about. The ceasefire just being
a, um, you know, cause then, cause then what
they can say is that they put the Nimitz in,
they say it's a false flag. They say they're
attacked, but it's really a false flag. And it
justifies saying, ah, Iran's breaking the treaty
quick. They put boots on the ground and then
we're in another. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Fucking, you know. We'll never have boots on
the ground in Iran. That country is way too shit
to fight in. It's worse than Iraq. I know, but
the problem is there's no way to secure it unless
you put boots on the ground. Oh, no, this will
be an air campaign. This is where drone warfare.
will come front and center. I just feel like
there's going to be so many civilians that will
be in the way. It's a country of 90 million that's
like half in the mountains. Like, dude, that's
going to be very tough to not have major civilian
casualties and that will demoralize American
and Western support. I think that's part of the
issue where they know they can just hide behind
civilians. So it's going to be another one of
those problems. You know? I mean... We let the
Freedom Dorito do its thing. We have the B -52s
that can just carpet bomb the shit out of every
mountain range up there. We've got the new Mini
Doritos, too. We have the Mini Doritos. Yeah.
We have the Flying Raptors. Yeah. The Spicy Doritos.
The Spicy Doritos, yeah. We have the drone programs.
I mean, it's possible. If we just stick to the
small drones, we can do it. We've got the AI
infrastructure now. We have kill drones. Yeah,
but what if they have loyalist forces that are
several million strong? We can 3D print drones.
That's the nice thing. Ukraine's right fucking
there. Poland is right fucking there. That's
European Texas. They're like ready and raring
to go. Well, what I guess I'm getting at is until
they do a campaign to change the culture and
change their minds, unfortunately, we have the
same problem like we had in the Middle East where
we're always going to be the bad guy even if
we're trying to do the right thing. We can win
the battle, but we'll lose the war. Literally
the only way to do it, we have to take out the
Ayatollah and push the people to rule themselves,
period. They already want it. They're pushing
for it, but they're still too afraid to do it
for themselves. We take out the Ayatollah, encourage
the people to do what they want to do. That will
do it in the right direction. But there again,
we're just back to Team America. World Police.
That's all we're doing. Well, yeah, that's all
we are. That's the only thing we're somewhat
good at. And even then, we're not great at it.
Yeah. You know, so I don't know. It's what I'm
concerned about is us raising effectively another
generation of people in a Middle Eastern country
that are going to hate the West for being the
West. Yeah. And unfortunately, we contributed
to that problem for the last 30 years. So also,
to be fair, thanks, CIA, for fucking up the Middle
East, by the way. Appreciate that one. That falls
squarely on your shoulders on that one. So I
guess that's what I'm surprised about is maybe
that we haven't been doing things a little bit
more in the background. Yeah. In Iran. But I
also I am no intelligence expert. So I military.
So I guess that's maybe why we're relying on
Israel so much. Because they're right there.
Yeah. So. I don't know. It's it's not an easy.
It's not an easy answer. It's not a quick answer.
We can hope that the ceasefire stuff holds true
and that Iran plays by the rules and that they
actually are willing to do this. Maybe they'll
overthrow the Ayatollah themselves. That's the
best case scenario, like literally. We just give
aid and support to the people and they overthrow
the Ayatollah themselves. They pull a Gaddafi.
Which I think that's kind of our best option,
to be honest with you. It really is. Because
if we put boots on the ground there, it's going
to be far bloodier than anything we saw in the
Middle East. Yeah. It's going to drag out, and
it's going to be a big issue, especially with
the amount of direct funding. None of us want
that. We just got out of the Middle East. We
do not want to go back in. Yeah. And this segues
into the second part of the discussion that I
did want to have, which is, again, this is a
little bit into politics, and I'm curious your
thoughts on it. To me, I feel like this almost
in a way has forced Trump to go against one of
the things that he ran on, which was no new wars.
And I know he's not declaring war. I'm aware
of it. But at the end of his first term, he was
able to sign three or four historic peace deals
and really stop a lot of war and violence. And
this feels almost in a way a step backwards.
I understand that it had to happen. I get it.
I know. I understand that. But boy, does it feel
like for a lot of people that. voted for him
it it feels like a betrayal for a lot of people
because a lot of people that i've spoken to that
are more like moderates that did vote for him
they're like man one of the big things was that
he he you know brought a lot of peace right and
yes there is a chance this could bring more peace
in the long run right so that's so ambiguous
is the problem that's so i think that with him
having been pushed out in the 2020 election it
railroaded a lot of the plans he had in place
And so many other steps that he was making were
pushed back and totally kicked off to the side.
Had he been allowed to continue, I think it would
have made a big enough difference that this would
have never had to happen. True. I'd agree with
you. And with more revelations coming out, I
don't know if you're seeing this, the stuff that
I'm sending you or not. It looks like the 2020
election. may have actually been stolen and that's
a whole other topic for another episode and youtube
do not come after us for that one we're using
the words may have possibly kind of sort of maybe
yes this is not a violation of anything that
is still free thought yes no claims are being
made here no i have to say that because youtube
literally you know the my pillow guy yeah oh
yeah yeah he got sent to jail for making those
claims by the way That's free speech. Yeah, but
they use defamation saying that, well, he was
saying it was stolen. And so that company Dominion
went after him. Oh, my God. So that's the only
reason I'm trying to cover our bases here. Well,
we're not accusing any company of doing anything.
No, but I don't want YouTube to be like, ooh,
look what they're doing. I know. I just don't
want to write that. We're not making any money
yet. It's all right. We're too small. No, no,
we're not making any money. So one other thing
I want to bring up. Not only do we have all this
shit going on on the other side of the world.
Half our country is like on the fucking verge.
We have all the shit going on in L .A. And I
have a question that I want to ask people. Is
L .A. even really an American city anymore? Given
the state of the population there. The policies
of the people that are controlling the area.
It's been deemed a sanctuary city. And the people
that are in the government seats there have been
fighting like hell to protect the people that
have come into this country illegally. And they're
protecting those people at the cost and the expense
of their own actual citizens. Go ahead. Do you
know there is a local representative in Minnesota?
That is now going to be facing jail time. Yes,
because she admitted that she was an illegal
immigrant and she's sitting in a house seat.
Yes, which means she voted illegally, too, because
you can't sit in that seat unless you're a voter.
She's facing all kinds of charges. Oh, yeah.
It's become one of these things to where it is
apparent. And OK, I'll pretext a little bit of
preamble here. I'm an open minded person. I like
discussing with people that have different views
and all that. The problem I see is there are
no longer any, I guess, adjoining social ideas
or commitments or contracts to where we have
to treat people a certain way or behave a certain
way. It's really become a free -for -all. And
what I mean by that is there are certain areas
of the country that fundamentally don't really
behave or operate. in a way in which abides by
the Constitution or the spirit or legality of
the law. And when you talk about places like
sanctuary cities, I understand that they feel
that they have the right to say whether someone's
here legally or illegally. They're wrong, but
I understand why they feel that way. However,
it seems to me there's a fundamental lack of
understanding. When it comes to the immigration
system and when it comes to where their authority
stops and ends with these cities. It is the issue
of the federal government has to make a stand
and say either one. If you ignore federal law,
you no longer receive funding, which I agree
with that sentiment or mentality. Or the option
two is your police department is no longer legitimate
police department and you will be removed and
replaced. Right. Because the other problem is.
And I've said this many times on this podcast.
I know you agree with this one. The only laws
that matter are the ones that are enforced. If
a law is not enforced, it effectively doesn't
exist. So until those laws that are in place
that abide by the Constitution and that abide
by our societal values are enforced, they really
don't matter. A lot of our laws have become very
conditional based on where you live. And I would
agree with you that there are some areas of the
country that really are not representative at
all of American values. Look at some of the spots
in Michigan, dude. Well, you have places in Michigan,
Wisconsin, New York, California, Washington,
Oregon, Massachusetts, New Jersey. I mean, there's
quite a few places to where the laws really,
they're completely different. And also, unfortunately,
I think the laws are very much dependent on whether
you're a citizen or not. You know, because look
at, for example, the case in California. I know
we brought this up with the healthcare episode
and a few other stuff, but imagine being able
to pay less for medical expenses because you're
not a citizen. Imagine being able to pay for
them because you're not a citizen. Imagine also
not being a citizen, not having insurance, and
then literally being able to walk out and pay
nothing, whereas an American that does have insurance
has to pay, like, thousands of dollars that there
are so many things to where it's rigged against
the people that abide by the laws that so many
people are starting to not abide by the laws.
Imagine being a citizen of this country and needing
help to get by in life and being denied. But
if you're illegal, you get food assistance cards
with balances on them and the tens of thousands
of dollars. and cash assistance balances in the
tens of thousands of dollars. That is insane.
Well, it's one of those things where we have
veterans that are sleeping on the ground and
people that aren't able to afford houses that
did everything right. And I have no problem helping
people if after we had helped our own citizens
first. I feel bad for a lot of people that come
from third world countries and that come from
these places that are really tragic. The amount
of desperation and shit that they're willing
to go through just to get here, tells you how
bad it is for them there. I understand completely
that they're willing to come here and what they're
willing to go through to get here for a chance
at a better life. Does the immigration system
need to change? Abso -fucking -lutely. But there
are laws that have to be followed. Plain and
simple. Well, you can't change a law by just
ignoring it. Right. You have to go through the
process. And this is the problem I do want to
call out certain politicians on. and say that
hey why are you sitting there you know bitching
complaining about a system where you've been
part of it for the last 30 or 40 years you know
not for nothing i will tell you this right now
regardless of which side you're on if the politicians
wanted to change it they would have done it decades
ago i don't want to hear about anyone saying
oh this party or that party is going to change
this no bs if they wanted to they would have
mostly average people in politics are there for
over 20 years are you kidding me They don't want
to change it because they're able to manipulate
it in their favor. Oh, well, term limits. And
also, if you're old enough to collect retirement,
you should not be in politics. I'm sorry. Yep.
But no, absolutely not. But those two things,
I. It's one of those things to where if Trump
doesn't do either one of those, I will be very
unhappy. But I feel like he has to. That should
be one of the last final things he tries to help
Congress get through. It's like, hey, pass this.
That will make him go down as one of the best
presidents in history. If he doesn't do that,
most people aren't going to care because I hate
to say it. I'm going to say this for a lot of
people and people are going to find that when
we're saying sensitive, but I don't care. It's
very hard for me as someone in my 30s to have
any trust at all in politics when the same politicians
have been in for 30 to 40 plus years and all
of them are so far out of my age bracket. They
cannot relate to a single struggle I have. They
cannot relate to anything that goes on in my
life. So why would I ever have a vote of confidence
for him? And that also, by the way, includes
Trump on that one. Like, yeah, sure, he's the
better of two evils, but, I mean, he's so far
removed from the struggles of any day person
that, like, sure, he has good people around him,
but I'm not going to bullshit and say, oh, yeah,
he knows the struggles. No, he doesn't. None
of them do. None of the people in that fucking
cabinet do. Absolutely none, because almost every
single one of them are in there because they're
a career politician. I think literally J .D.
Vance is probably the only one who probably does
understand those struggles. And I'll be honest
with you. He's probably the only person there.
If you noticed, he has shut the hell up in terms
of as a vice president. He's just there to support.
And he's doing a very good job. I was worried
he was going to be saying too much stuff like
Mike Pence was doing and just kind of undermining
everything. But no, J .D. Vance, I think he gets
it. Now, is he perfect? No. But you know what?
He's at least within the realm of someone that
I think a lot of us can relate to. Oh, I love
the fucking memes of him. The AI shit. Oh, dude,
some of them are good. Oh, God. Like the baby
Vance and stuff like that. Yes. They're great.
So it's until the political parties get their
act together. and actually want to listen to
people, I still feel like no matter what, they're
always going to be a net negative overall. Most
people are not happy with that. Every politician
is a net negative, no matter what. If they're
a career politician, yeah, they're a negative.
I know there are some good ones, I'm sure, but
not many. I'll tell you that right now. You know,
because it doesn't seem like we're making, because
at home, like what's happening here, like sure,
all of our efforts are abroad, but things aren't
getting much better over here. You know, because
this is, I think this is where I'm a little disappointed,
where he's spending so much time being focused
on Iran. There's not much happening domestically
to change things. And we were promised one thing,
and unfortunately he's not really delivering
it. And I know there's a lot working against
him, but historically in the midterms, the Republicans
are going to lose seats. So if he was going to
make stuff happen, it's now. He has like literally
a year. Yeah. A year to maybe a year and a half
to get things in place, make things happen, or
else it's just going to be irrelevant. Because
historically, he will lose seats and most likely
lose the majority. Now, who knows what's going
to happen? Because in politics, a month is a
year. So who the hell knows? Everything could
change two days from now. Hey, theoretically,
we'll be in the singularity by a year from now.
Oh, my God. We could just have our entire civilization
run by sentient yogurt. No, the problem is AI
Nixon's going to come back. That's going to be
the action. Yep. I want to hear AI Nixon just
say, I'm back, bitches. As he just ascends from
a head to glass jar kind of thing. Yes. It's
possible, though. You know what? I wonder what
would happen if AI programs start running as
politicians. Oh, that'd be great. If they gain
sentience, if they gain actual rights. Okay,
so that is something that was brought up in the
interview with the Gen Z kids. Oh, then I won't
say another thing. Well, no, it was brief, and
it's going to spawn probably a whole other episode.
We got very off topic and into... Some other
questions that because I asked about all the
stuff going on in the world right now, and then
I asked him one like question that was very podcast
centric and it kind of went down the line. One
thing that we're going to have to consider at
some point. Will we need some kind of a bill
of rights for AI? I mean, it's it's getting very,
very close. It's already passed the Turing test.
So, for anybody... Sorry, you go. Go ahead, go
ahead. I don't want that. What I was going to
say is for anybody that's watched Star Trek,
what makes a man, I believe, is the episode.
It is probably the most relevant and important
episode you can watch. And I think almost all
of Star Trek. Just look it up. This whole episode's
on YouTube. Possibly even sci -fi, not just Star
Trek. It's a very profound episode. It is probably
the episode that I watched as a kid that really
opened my eyes and made me think, oh, shit. This
is deep. This is not just an A or B question.
This is not something you can just answer. If
you have some time, look that up on YouTube.
What is a man? Star Trek Next Generation. What
makes a man? What makes a man? Sorry. I'm thinking
of the other documentary, but what is woman,
but, but what makes a man and watch the episode?
You don't have to know anything else in the background.
It's a, it's a pretty good standalone episode.
If you know a little bit of background, it helps
do a little research, but that is, I think you're
asking a very good question of what are the criteria
and how are we going to legally enforce that?
And then the other problem of like how our laws
applied. What's going to happen? How the fuck
do you arrest a software? Right. Like, yeah.
So it's, it's an interesting enough thing. I
feel like maybe that's a whole episode somewhere
down the line. Good Lord. Yeah. We make AI internet
police. Possibly it's, it's deep. You know, I
mean the, the Muslims have their own sect of
police, so maybe the AI gets its own sect of
police. You know, I should the terrifying thought
of a terminator looking motherfucker. That's
an AI comes up to me, grabs you by the shirt,
lifts you up and goes, you said a mean comment
on Instagram. You're under arrest. It's like,
oh, fuck. Like, you know, you can't touch me,
bitch. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That can
get out of hand so quick, though. Oh, easily.
Like, I just. Oh, man. Then the problem is you
have AI people running around. If you've seen
the movie iRobot, if you've got an S4s effectively
walking around with AI that have full rights,
we lose all our jobs. I'm sorry. Hey, we've been
talking about it for months now. I know. I don't
like that, though. I hate being right, but God
damn it, if people share this podcast, they would
be more aware of it. That's why I always tell
people, get a job that can't be replaced by a
robot. One of the problems I see is we're talking
about bringing jobs back to America, but we're
bringing back mostly manufacturing jobs that
are just going to get replaced by robots. It's
like, dude, I think eventually I'm going to have
to be converted to your side about UBI. I'm not
there yet. I'm not there yet about universal
basic income. Dude, listen. I fucking hate having
to be on that side, but I can see what's coming
down the pipe. I've got a few years on you, so
I can see what's coming. Like that girl on her
knees in front of the porn star, I can see what's
about to hit me. I just don't like how you're
referencing All of us losing our jobs as an AI
basically effective of a money shot. No. This
is not a good thing. Nobody likes this. No. Oh,
God. But am I wrong? That's a meme an AI would
make. Hashtag coming for your jobs. I don't know.
It's just one of those things where like, maybe
we need to look at overpopulation issues and
you know start uh start looking at those maybe
don't have nine kids right you know you know
but that's a whole separate but let's i don't
even know how the how the fuck did we segue from
like 37 degrees away from it's us it happens
i know i don't know i i've still got my notes
up i can kind of Hit some points real quick if
you want. Yeah, sure. If there's any points that
we missed. Yeah. Well, so the Straits of Hormuz
yesterday, it was potentially closed. Now we'll
see if it goes back to being open. I don't see
it affecting us a whole lot because 5 % of our
oil comes from there, but like 30 % of China's.
So I think it'll affect them more than anything,
but it'll still affect oil prices because reasons.
I don't know why it should affect us, but what's
going to happen. I'll, I was actually listening
to a, to a podcast earlier talking about that.
They did like a emergency episode trader. So
there are tankers. Hey, I'm allowed to scope
out the competition. So there are takers that
are already turning around. Oh yeah. Which the
problem is that's going to mean there will be
a, there might be a small temporary shortage,
not like a shortages and you can't get it. But
what that means is. The supplier is going to
be a little bit down. Demand will be up, especially
near the middle to end of summer. There might
be a bit of a spike, but that will level out
at some point. Again, it shouldn't affect us,
though. We'll see it. Because of investments
and because of stock markets and everything like
that, I'm willing to bet you you'll see a probably
5 % to 10%, maybe 15 % increase, just as being
like an amateur economist. Yeah. We'll see it
just because. the the shit exists we don't have
an issue with the oil but there's a problem over
there so we're going to take advantage of it
because money yeah because speculation yes that's
what people understand the value for most things
is based off of speculation not based off of
any real world yeah i know you so also i would
like to point out um several years ago we had
140 an oil a barrel oil And we were paying like
$3 to $4 a gallon of gas. In 21, during COVID,
oil was like $100 a barrel and we were paying
$6 a gallon. In the Midwest, it was like $12
in California. Just to kind of reiterate where
the spending power of the dollar is. Like we've
talked about. We also have to factor in we've
closed down a few oil refineries in the U .S.,
and because of EPA and environmental regulations,
they've made it far more difficult to refine
and transport and manufacture this stuff. So
you could blame the EPA and all the other shit
that's been going on, plus all the additives
and everything else and ethanol regulations.
Yep. Also all the oil leases that got canceled
and the pipelines that were cannexed. But anyways,
the next point I wanted to bring up, this is
a big one. There are some things that people
don't take into account when it comes to the
vulnerabilities of America. We do not have an
iron dome. We do not have a golden dome like
he's trying to put in place. I can't help but
think of the golden showers when I think of the
golden dome. Yeah, I know. It's just a thing
that just zoidbergs into my head. Oh, God. Iran
has already successfully practiced. launching
ballistic missiles off of freighters in the Caspian
Sea. They did this by disguising them to look
like normal commercial cargo ships, and they
were fired out of cargo containers. Russia has
also containerized ballistic missiles that are
nuclear capable. And we already know they have
worked with Iran and other countries that aren't
exactly friendly towards us or haven't been friendly
towards us in the past. North Korea has even
pulled some shenanigans with ship -based missiles
disguised as cargo. Those were surface -to -air
missiles. Those, however, were intercepted trying
to go through the Panama Canal because those
idiots thought they would try to sneak through
the canal by turning off their ship transponder.
They found those missiles packed with sugar.
I'm not surprised. How hard do you think it would
be for Iran or China or somebody to park a couple
dozen of those ships off of our coast and just
start waylaying a city or two? Wouldn't be hard.
At all. And we have nothing there to stop them.
No. Unless they try going for D .C. which we
have anti -missile systems on top of the White
House. But outside of that, we have nothing.
I'll be honest with you. I'm pessimistic enough
to where I don't think even if our government
could stop it, I don't think they would. No,
they'd let it happen. Yeah, they need another
9 -11. Yeah. 9 -11 worked once. Why wouldn't
it work again? I know. You know, although they
can't hit the same thing twice. You know, it's
kind of not there. Well, no, there's, well. There
is a new tower they could hit. Unless they hit
the 9 -11 memorial and just make a deeper hole.
I'm still worried they're going to go after 4th
of July celebrations. You know, that's something
I hadn't considered. And I'm glad for that. We're
staying away from everybody. We're just going
to hang out in a small town. Yeah. And just be
away. I live in a small enough town that somebody
that looks like that is around. They're going
to get watched. I hate to say that profiling
is a thing, but in my town, profiling is a thing.
It's a thing. I'm sorry. This is like a 98 %
white town. It is the Midwest. I mean, aggressively
Midwest. You know. I mean, shit. When my ex -wife
was here with me, she accounted for like 10 %
of the Hispanic population in town. She was the
diversity. That's it. In terms of diversity,
we have one. Right. Yeah, let them hit like a
major fucking 4th of July celebration. I hope
not. You thought America United on 9 -12? Fuck
you assholes. you will see unity like never before
see but that's the issue though is if they do
that all of a sudden the rest of us can be like
yeah fuck you now we can glass you like yes that's
that's exactly the wrong thing of what iran would
want to do because then they're screwed they're
absolutely screwed there's no way what they fail
to realize is we can drill through glass It's
hard to live on glass chuckle fuck as we're just
throwing nukes at them. It was just, I don't
know. It's, I would, I would genuinely hate to
see any sort of war breakout or any fight, but
that being said, I don't want to see it, but
it's one of those things we always win in the
end. Like, like, yes, a lot of people would,
you know, unfortunately be removed from life,
but you know, fuck. Uh, I do not know his name,
but I sent it to you. I think. uh he's a lot
of stuff i i know i'm sorry uh news anchor he
he was talking about the other night the way
that he was talking to or like pouring his heart
out to president trump like look if you're going
to do this do this the right way uh i cannot
remember his name which one does he work for
independent news i don't know um that does not
narrow it down sir are you talking about I know.
Tim pool, Dave Rubin. Are you, are you talking
like, are you talking to more conservative guys
like Steven Crowder? Conservative guy, but he's
Matt Walsh. Probably. No, no. I know who that
is. I'm trying to see if I shared it in our,
our other discord. And, but, but I would agree
with you that it's one of those things where
if you're going to do it, you do it in the dead
of night where no one's going to know you, you
bomb every single, you know, government military
building type of thing. You make it so there's
no way they could ever officially respond to
anything. Right. You know, it's, it's unfortunate,
but if you're going to do it, you have to go
big or go home. Right. Um, I'll, I'll have to
check the messages I sent you. Cause it's, I'll
never find it. Oh, there, there he is. Um, where
the fuck is the, Oh, there it is every time.
Well, I sent you another thing with him. He's
on Newsmax. He just kind of looks like a Chad.
He looks kind of like a wrestler, like Wish .com
John Cena. I don't know. Wish .com John Cena.
Are you talking about the Sean Ryan show? No,
I know who Sean Ryan is, not him. Okay, I was
going to say. all right that guy that guy yeah
this this guy him he was pouring his heart out
to trump i can't think of his fucking name it's
not even on that video um but he was he was calling
out saying if you're going to do this you know
let loose the dogs of war and let us do what
we have to do don't tie our hands because he
served and was in afghanistan and iraq and saw
what happened when we were sent over And we had
all these restraining rules of engagement. Like,
oh, you can't fire back if somebody shoots at
you and then drops their gun. Or if they use
human shields. Yeah. Because they picked up on
these things and they knew what was going on.
And the problem is it's not like you can ask
the people of Iran to leave because then you're
going to get sleeper cells everywhere else across
the world. Well, Trump sure as fuck told the
people of... Iran's kept to a Tehran that they
needed to evacuate and they fucking evacuated
See what what he's gonna have to do I think to
play this smart is wherever the nuclear materials
going He's got to find a way to get them to evacuate
Just so it's easier to use the drones to find
the material just bomb specifically those people
Yep, there's gotta be be able to play a nuclear
whack -a -mole. There's gotta be a way but I
don't know. It seems like no matter what you
do, you're going to be... There's going to be
some innocent civilians that are going to get
in the way. There are acceptable losses in the
doctrines. Typically, it's zero, but depending
on the situation. But if he's going to play a
nuclear whack -a -mole, he will touch their talala,
and he will find what we're looking for. Their
ding -ding -dong. I don't know. We'll see what
happens, but hopefully... Here's the other plan.
I just hope Mossad or Israel just goes in and
just wipes out the leadership. While they're
mobilizing, trying to scramble, trying to move
around, figure it out. Sneak some people in there.
Get them while they're in transport. While they're
not paying attention, while they're not fortified
or solidified down somewhere. Just take the leadership
down from the top down. Take out the Ayatollah.
Call it a day. I will take care of myself afterwards.
You know. Then you go in offering humanitarian
supplies and peace and the usual thing. And you
know, we have been, that's the other thing. Videos
are coming out from Iran of all the aid that's
being offered from Israel, from America, from,
I think even Saudi Arabia has been dropping supplies
and they're sitting there talking to like, it's
not our own country that's offering us this food
and this water and this medicine. It's America.
You know, America is not the devil that they're
saying it is. It's our leaders. The people over
there know what's going on. What you have to
do is continue that campaign, force the actual
government to collapse, let the people starve
from the government, then we offer the help.
Yep. And that way, no matter what, at least they
have some sort of preferential or deferential
view. But, you know. The problem is we're not
very good at the world building aspect. We're
very good at getting rid of people. We're not
very good about like, hey, let's start up a new
democracy here and let the people actually do
their thing. Because every single time the military
industrial complex, the politicians get their
grubby little hands in it and say, well, you
could have a democracy. But you know what we
really care about? Stockholders. You know what
we really care about? Making money. I don't know.
I just. I hope there's a way around it. And I
hope Trump sees through that. Did you hear, and
this might be an episode for another topic. Oh
my God. A topic for another episode. I can't
English. I'm sorry. I've had a day. Did you see
anything about the selling off of federal lands?
To China or to other people? To like BlackRock.
No. That was floated the other day. I don't know
if it got approved, but it got floated, the idea
of selling off a bunch of land. I would rather
have BlackRock own them than China. Here's my
question to both you and everyone else at home.
If people can find some information on that,
because that was literally trending for like
six hours the other day, and then for some reason
it just vanished. So I can't find anything official
on the House floor or anything like that about
it, but people were claiming that a bill got
passed or was getting voted on. And I guess it
brought up the question of how would you feel
if to reduce debt and to reduce the overcrowding
we started selling federal land for cities to
be built on? Yeah, let's do an episode on that.
That's what I thought. Some new cities would
not hurt, but I don't want them to be corporate
cities. See, now you're picking up on it. We
have an episode on the docket for cities of the
future. Well, this is kind of what I'm tying
into. I was curious if you had heard anything,
and I was curious if I was going to see anything
in chat, but no. I think I might have got bamboozled
online. It happens. AI videos are a thing, man.
Dude, some of them are getting way too good.
Like, they keep getting better and better every
week. Hey, VO3 turned one month old just a few
days ago. Oh, God. So give it five more months.
No. Yeah, buddy. We talked about that. No, let's
not do that. You know what's going to be scary
are the kids that are being born now that by
the time they're old enough to comprehend what's
going on, they're going to grow up in the AI
world. It'd be terrifying. Yeah. You know what's
an even scarier thought? There might not be kids
being born after the next 10, 15 years. They're
going to be born somewhere. I don't think India's
stopping anytime soon. They've got a history
of that, man. Well, I mean here, with the rate
of development and everything. I think generation
maybe beta is probably going to be the last generation
that has kids the traditional way. Well, I mean,
most people can't afford kids, so there's no...
Yeah. Yeah, maybe. You might be right. Who knows?
They might be adopting AI kids to reprogram them.
Like Tamagotchis. They're just going to be more
expensive Tamagotchis. Oh, my God. Man, this
one won't shut the fuck up. I'm going to recode
it. Oh, God. Last little fucking topic segue.
They achieved CRISPR without using CRISPR by
using goo. I'm sorry, you have to be more specific
with, and I quote, goo. Well, basically they
used a virus or something along those lines to
achieve CRISPR level results in vivo, so in a
living adult, not a placenta -based child. Ah.
How? What? I'll send you the article. Okay, because
I'll have to read that. But how could they pot?
I don't like this dystopian future we're going
into. It's getting weird. My first thought was
how can it be turned into a weapon? Oh, yeah.
My second thought was maybe COVID was a test
run. Yeah, no, I'm good. Thanks. I'm telling
you that right now. If COVID Part 2 comes, I'm
not abided by a fucking rule. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Did that once. No. Did my part. Never again.
No. No. I didn't abide by the first rules. They
can eat my entire ass. I unfortunately live in
an area where if I didn't, I wouldn't be allowed
to do anything. I wouldn't have done anything.
They can eat my entire ass. Every square inch
of it. And there's a lot of square inches. You
live in an area where no one gives a shit, which
is very nice. Everyone's just very nice and chill.
In my area, everyone's very uptight, but you've
got to follow the rules. I am the rules. I think
we're far enough off topic and everything. We've
covered all the points we wanted to cover. I
guess keep a lookout for any weirdness happening
in any of the other war zones because I think
this is going to be a distraction. I fully expect,
by the way, China to move in on Taiwan or at
least start making advancements and start encroaching.
And honestly, not just the war zones. Keep your
head on a swivel for the next few weeks around
your towns. Just because, like I said, the lone
wolf stuff, we're going to start gathering together
for events for the next couple of weeks. I hate,
I fucking hate saying this. If you see something
out of place, don't be afraid to fucking just
keep an eye on it. Trust your gut. Yeah, trust
your gut. The old see something, say something
campaign. Well, you don't necessarily have to
say something, but just keep your fucking eye
out. Keep note of it and make actions accordingly.
If you feel uncomfortable, fucking say it and
get out of there. Yes, as another famous YouTuber
likes to say, act accordingly. Absolutely. With
how crazy things are nowadays and how between
all the different riots and everything else that's
been going on. Did you hear what happened the
other day at one of the No Kings riots? Oh, Lord.
There were a bunch of socialists basically at
that event. No. Yeah, I know. What a shock. Well,
one of them was walking around with a rifle.
The other one had a couple of pistols. And I
guess they were scared with the guy with the
rifle. So the guy with the pistols fired first.
And the guy with the rifle ran away and then
fired back. And I guess the guy with the pistols
killed some innocent guys. But the police arrested
the guy with the rifle. And then now they're
realizing he did nothing legally wrong. Because
since he leans left, he is allowed to open carry
a rifle, which in that area you're not allowed
to. You know, because of the politics, it's fine.
You know, it's okay because they're different.
Democrats are different. That's how that works.
But yeah, and yet the news hasn't reported on
it at all. I've heard nothing. Yeah, I know.
It's great. Just throw a little hypocrisy. Just
pointing out the hypocrisy in there. Great man,
by the way. Hypocrisy. Oh, yeah. I've literally
never heard of them. Yeah, they're good. Okay,
I'll look them up after this. Virus, great track
or great album. Seems very timely. Very apropos.
But yeah, just keep an eye out for the media.
They've been purposely not reporting a lot of
shit lately. Independent media is your best source
in this kind of a situation. I will shamelessly
plug a couple of them. I really think there's
independent media that's way better than any
of the mainstreams. Yeah. So, you know, please,
please follow them. They're way better. As much
as I like to try to look for, you know, user
-generated videos, like user -recorded stuff.
With the advent of all the AI bullshit, you've
really got to be on your fucking game to look
to see what's fake and what's not. Yeah, I've
been bamboozled a couple times so far. So I've
had to dig deep and be like, ah, shit. So I do
recommend staying away from mainstream media
because even they're starting to fall for the
bullshit. Like I saw one of them. That's bad.
Well, when the Ukraine war started, they were
posting Arma 3 footage. Arma 2, Arma 3 footage.
And I saw that and was like, wait a minute. I
know that map. I know Tana. Wait, what? I know
a Tana. And I saw it and was like, oh, you fucking
idiots. Because it showed like a sea whiz trying
to shoot down like an SU -27 flanker going by.
Yeah. And I was like, this is not Ukraine at
all. This is, motherfucker, this is tropical.
just now even topography like do you do you even
understand do you topograph so it's not the first
time and won't be the last oh no but i personally
i will say i i do get a lot of my stuff from
uh tim pool i do like his stuff even though i
don't always agree with everything he says he's
probably the gateway for you to get into independent
media Just cause he, he's very honest and he
does admit when he fucks up and that's unlike
basically every other mainstream media person.
So, yeah. Um, yeah, but, uh, yeah. Um, anything
else you want to, uh, the only other thing I
wanted to plug and I was curious if you'd watch
this cause this might be another episode too.
Did you watch the, the Tucker debate with, um,
Oh God, what's it? Yes. I caught bits and pieces
of it. Okay. So this is the other part of the
debate that we don't really have time to go into
tonight because I think we both need to watch
that podcast. I do want to do an episode of basically
how our politicians are selling us out because
if anyone at home wants to watch it, don't watch
it because you're a supporter or anything. Watch
it because you get to see in real time who the
swamp is. and why these kind of people are pushing
us to these kind of wars and this kind of stuff.
Ted Cruz was not somebody I was super into. He
has proposed some good things and has done some
good stuff. But his interview with Tucker Carlson,
I will tell you right now, I don't think Ted
Cruz is going to win another election. I think
he's done. He has sunk his entire legacy and
everything he's worked for in the last 20 -something
years in politics in one, like, one -hour interview.
It is, if you want to... up to date as to why
maybe we push so hard to defend israel he is
one of the reasons why and it will give you a
lot of historical context in terms of our political
parties as to why we've been so dead set on defending
israel for the last 40 years so just watch it
trust me you'll thank me or you'll be tearing
your hair out and cussing me out i don't know
but it's worth a watch yep because yeah So, well,
yeah, other than that, I didn't talk to you about
this ahead of time, but I want to put out a challenge
to all the listeners. If you're still here, share
the podcast with one or two people that you know
that you think would enjoy the podcast. Just
trying to spread the information, spread the
knowledge. Because we have apparently been prophets
and predicted way more than we should have. So
get the information out there. Share the love.
So I challenge you guys to share it with people
that are in your circle. Absolutely. Share it
with other people that enjoy these kind of conversations
and discussions. You never know. You can learn
something from anyone. Anyone can learn something
from this podcast. So give it a shot. Give it
a share. Give it a try. Hell yeah. Hey, at the
worst case, even if we just make you question
your sanity, we are still doing our job. That's
the goal. That's our baseline minimum. That and
making you uncomfortable. You know, you're really
good at saying something that makes me question
everything. Every week, buddy. That's always
the goal. And besides, I just do want to apologize
for my inconsistent schedule with life. So hopefully
things give me a couple of weeks. We got some
stuff because we got holidays coming up. We're
going to be trying to do our best to get some
episodes out and get some things going. Just
for reference, we're probably going to Mondays
for a little while instead of Sundays. So just
a heads up. Yeah. So the quick story is in my
area, it has rained 14 weekends in a row. It's
a record for Massachusetts. That's pretty moist.
Fuck you. Just, you know, I'm trying. Anyway,
you know, I'm. Fuck you. Right off your rails.
Absolutely. So the point I'm getting at is I
now have to do like three to four months of yard
work to catch up on. And I have been struggling
to give you an idea. I literally had just to
order a new weed whacker. I burned out the other
one. It's dead. Wow. It died within a few weeks.
So like goats. You know, you're the third person
to suggest that to me. But my problem is I spent
my entire life taking care of farm animals I
never wanted. So then for people to suggest goats,
another animal for me to have to pay money to
take care of? No, no. You rent them, like, by
the day. I know. They're $1 ,000 to do half my
yard. Yeah, I got so invested in this, I got
a fucking quote. And guess what I was told? Oh
yeah, for the week and for the several acres
you need to cut and for the thick bramble and
bush and shit, yeah, it's probably about $1 ,000.
So, hear me out. Buy goats and rent them out.
Yeah, I know. But then I'm back to the problem
of I'm then taking care of animals I don't want,
but they make money. Yes. They're doing what
the other animals didn't. I know. I'll be honest
with you, I hate to say it, I already have the
horse fences up anyway. I'm already 50 -50 debate
on getting goats or even getting a cow. Both
are good. I feel like the farm life keeps choosing
me. I don't choose the farm life, but it just,
I don't know, it forces itself back into my life
every fucking time. It's just going to keep spitting
on it and shoving it to you. So, we'll catch
you guys hopefully next week. I don't like that
view for this one. It's going to hawk to it.
Right to you. You're done. You're done. Yeah.
So we love you guys. We hope that you'll share
the episode, share the podcast, and continue
to stick with us. We've still got some great
stuff coming, and hopefully we can make Johnny
Sins jealous. So we will catch you guys on the
next one. We love you.
