Hello? Anybody home?

0:03

Today, I want

0:06

you to open your mind. I've

0:09

almost come to the conclusion

0:11

that the story is subliming,

0:13

that the mass of people

0:15

can't deal with it. We

0:17

are in process of developing

0:19

a whole series of techniques

0:21

to get people actually to

0:23

love their circuitry. We face

0:25

a hostile ideology, global in

0:28

scope, atheistic in character, ruthless

0:30

in purpose, and insidious in

0:32

method. We are opposed around the

0:34

world by a monolithic and ruthless

0:36

conspiracy that relies primarily on what

0:38

covet means for expanding its sphere

0:40

of influence. To change the minds

0:42

and the attitudes and the

0:44

beliefs of the people to bring

0:46

about one world socialist totalitarian

0:48

government. The potential for the disastrous

0:50

rise of misplaced power exists.

0:52

It has patterned itself after every

0:54

dictator who has ever planted

0:56

the ripping imprint of a boot on the

0:59

pages of history since the beginning of

1:01

time. If you can get people to

1:03

consent to the state of affairs in

1:05

which they are living, then you have

1:07

more easily controllable society than you

1:09

would if you were relying

1:12

only on clubs and firing squads

1:14

and concentration camps. Tools of

1:16

conquest do not necessarily come with

1:18

bombs and explosions and fallout. There

1:20

are weapons that are simply fights. As

1:24

you connect the dots

1:26

between different people, organizations,

1:28

religions, history, suddenly the

1:30

picture starts to form.

1:35

Someone born in the United States is

1:38

not more special than someone born

1:40

in Mexico. Someone who is white is

1:42

not more special than someone who

1:44

is black. They're just vehicles for the

1:46

consciousness to experience. They

1:49

do not want your children to

1:51

be educated. They do not want

1:53

you to think too much. It

1:55

was learned that the aliens had

1:57

men and were then manipulating masses

1:59

of people through secret societies, witchcraft, magic, the

2:02

occult, and religion. They're reaching to our

2:04

children in music, television, books. Right on children's

2:06

interests. How can I disprove lives that

2:08

are stamped with unofficacy? So if you have

2:10

the opportunity to stand next to one

2:12

of these machines, it feels like an altar

2:14

to an alien god. Genetic power is

2:16

the most awesome force the planet's ever seen,

2:19

but you wield it like a kid

2:21

that's found his dad's gun. The Army Air

2:23

Force has announced that a flying dip

2:25

is now in the possession of the Army.

2:27

Too many others know what's happening out

2:29

there. And no one, no government agency

2:31

has jurisdiction over the truth. Any

2:33

state, any entity, any ideology that fails

2:36

to recognize the worth, the dignity,

2:38

the rights of man, that state is

2:40

obsolete. A case to be filed

2:42

under M for mankind in the Twilight

2:44

Zone. Sometimes

2:47

some of you got acquainted

2:49

with the real hard truth.

2:51

It's the heart that says

2:54

I will not acquiesce. Freedom

2:56

is the privilege to be right. Freedom

2:58

from the disasters and our mistakes.

3:00

If you don't connect the dots, it's

3:02

just a mass of what's all this

3:04

about. You

3:10

if you're watching the video, you see

4:39

on the screen myself, and you also

4:41

see Joe from LegitBat Podcast. He is

4:43

joining us again tonight. I think this

4:45

is the second time, maybe the third

4:47

time, Joe's been on the show. I've

4:50

been on his show, I think twice.

4:53

We did a round table one night as

4:55

well. And I brought Joe

4:57

back tonight to start the week because

4:59

Joe and I think a lot alike.

5:01

I'm sure there are things that we

5:03

might disagree on, but we were discussing

5:05

very, very briefly. over the

5:07

weekend preparing for a show

5:09

the idea of victimhood and

5:11

I was thinking victimhood is

5:13

something that's kind of rattled around in

5:15

my brain the last couple of weeks something

5:17

I've sort of maybe unintentionally danced

5:19

around on the

5:21

show and it's victimhood in

5:24

the sense of and there's a

5:26

lot of different examples of it kind

5:28

of like looking for

5:30

an external savior looking

5:33

for an external form

5:36

of grace looking outside instead of inside

5:38

of the self and you can

5:40

think that's kind of pseudo New Age

5:42

pseudo spiritual and perhaps it is

5:44

in some ways But victimhood is a

5:46

really interesting thing. I was reading

5:48

an article many years ago when this

5:51

came out. I think it was

5:53

two three years ago This article came

5:55

out from the University

5:57

of British Columbia and

5:59

I will show it to you on the screen It

6:02

is from the Journal of

6:04

Personality and Social Psychology. Now

6:08

that I'm zooming in on it, I see the

6:10

date is actually 2020, so it was five

6:12

years ago. This study came out

6:14

about virtuous victimhood. This was,

6:16

you know, something that we

6:18

heard a long, long

6:20

time, this term that I think has

6:22

kind of disappeared, virtue signaling.

6:25

We heard about virtue signaling. I didn't even know

6:27

what it was when I first heard it.

6:29

These terms just come and go and it's like

6:31

a language you have to learn, but it

6:33

changes every week or every month or every year.

6:36

We heard a lot about virtue signaling. What was

6:38

virtue signaling? Virtue signaling was, hey, I've got

6:40

an electric car. You need an electric car to

6:42

save the earth. Hey, you know,

6:44

I'm a good person because I voted

6:47

for America by voting for a Republican

6:49

or, you know, I'm a good person

6:51

because I You know, I do

6:53

X or I do Y or I don't

6:55

do X or I don't do Y,

6:57

whatever the case is. That's that's the virtue

6:59

signaling signaling to others that you're a

7:01

virtuous person. The problem

7:04

is psychologically speaking,

7:06

people that do that kind of

7:08

a thing are usually

7:10

psychologically speaking, not

7:13

good people. Now, it's

7:15

one thing to say that, you

7:17

know, you've accomplished something. It's

7:19

another thing to brag about it.

7:21

And there's another thing to

7:23

say that you're the best,

7:25

you're number one. And that is,

7:28

in a roundabout way, what people

7:30

who virtue signal are doing. They're saying

7:32

they're not going to directly tell

7:34

you how great they are. But it's

7:36

kind of implied by the fact

7:38

that they take care of little dogs

7:40

and cats or they like children

7:42

or they are supporting America or

7:44

there that, you know,

7:46

it's a fine line there. But

7:49

the idea is that virtue signaling

7:51

or signaling virtuous victim hood as

7:53

the University of British Columbia put

7:55

it is actually an indicator of

7:57

a dark triad of

7:59

personality traits which include McAvellian ism

8:01

narcissism and psychopathy and although I'm

8:03

sure a lot of you on

8:05

the political right of the aisle

8:08

might say yeah well that's exactly

8:10

what those libtards are. I'm

8:13

thinking that there are a lot of

8:15

people who we would consider libtards

8:17

who probably look at the political right

8:19

and think the same thing about

8:21

your Virtue signaling about making America great

8:23

or how you're better because you're

8:25

trying to save the children from the

8:27

child trafficking networks or the adrenochrome

8:29

factories wherever they might be in the world

8:32

and I would assume that they probably think

8:34

that you're the

8:36

same and they probably think that they're

8:38

not like that and I think

8:40

that Virtuous victimhood, no

8:42

matter how it is expressed,

8:44

whether it's politically expressed or

8:47

religiously expressed, there's a great

8:49

example, whatever the case might

8:51

be. These are traits

8:53

against psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism.

8:55

These are traits that are,

8:58

they're not something that we should

9:00

probably strive for as an individual.

9:02

In fact, they kind of border

9:04

on, if not go directly into

9:06

the seven deadly sins. in

9:08

many ways or the

9:10

avoidance of the the seven

9:12

virtues and From a

9:14

neutral standpoint or I guess

9:17

I would call it more of

9:19

an objective. I guess we

9:21

call objective an objective standpoint if

9:23

we're going to take this

9:25

idea of a

9:27

victimhood tonight We

9:29

need to be able to apply it to

9:31

every situation

9:34

to every political party

9:36

every religious group every

9:38

ideology, every cult, et

9:40

cetera, because it transcends

9:43

the borders of, I

9:45

mean, the evidence of

9:47

this, this personality traits, these personality

9:49

traits is in the fact that people think,

9:51

well, that's not me. That must be

9:53

the libtards or the mega people. It's like,

9:56

well, it's probably, it's probably a little

9:58

bit of both. The narcissism,

10:00

the psychopathy and the Machiavellianism. So this is

10:03

the article in a nutshell. It

10:05

basically says that people who

10:07

act this way are attempting

10:09

to derive or to mine

10:11

a social currency. And

10:13

it gives them the

10:15

moral superiority then to do

10:17

things that are not

10:20

moral, that are not good

10:22

and that are in

10:24

some cases quite wicked. But

10:26

because they do X, they have

10:28

the moral licensing to do something

10:30

else that's actually not not very

10:32

good. despite what they might tell

10:34

you. It's kind of like studies,

10:37

you see these, maybe

10:39

you've read them, maybe you haven't, but I've seen

10:41

studies where, or surveys, people that,

10:43

anonymous surveys, people that claim that

10:45

they give the charity are the least

10:47

likely to give the charity. People

10:49

that claim that they buy green products

10:51

and they love the environment are

10:53

like the least likely to actually do

10:55

anything beneficial or not, like recycling

10:57

electric cars. they're the least likely to

10:59

actually do anything. I mean, people

11:01

that own electric cars statistically are like

11:03

the least environmentally conscious, not because

11:06

of what the electric car is, but

11:08

because of the idea of if

11:10

I buy that, buy this car, then

11:12

I can just do whatever else

11:14

I want to do because I own

11:16

an electric car, because I buy

11:18

green products. Well, I can do

11:20

pretty much whatever I want to do. And

11:22

there's actually, there's major studies

11:24

from the University of Michigan

11:26

and other major schools. about

11:29

this that people who say I'm

11:31

really concerned with environmentalism and climate change

11:33

are like the least. Actually

11:36

concerned that they do the least

11:38

to or or nothing at all

11:40

to actually make their environment a

11:42

cleaner, safer, better place and the

11:44

people that just like don't care

11:46

about environmentalism or don't they're just

11:48

kind of indifferent to it or

11:50

like the most likely to do

11:52

the kinds of things that. We're

11:54

told we're supposed to do take

11:56

a bus, take a ride, share,

11:58

you know, not necessarily buy an

12:00

electric car, but do things that

12:03

are, that are actually more environmentally

12:05

conscious. And I think this, the

12:07

same could be said about any,

12:09

any situation. So anyway, that's just

12:11

kind of the story in a

12:13

nutshell. That's the idea with

12:15

tonight's show. And I've got Joe from

12:17

legit bat podcast with us on the

12:19

broadcast tonight. Joe, you've been on the screen

12:21

for a moment here. Thank you for joining

12:23

us. Tell people about your show briefly. And

12:26

I'd love your commentary on this. You've,

12:28

I think, said you were going to talk

12:30

about this or have talked about this on

12:32

your show. Welcome to The Secret Teachings. Yeah,

12:35

thanks for having me back again, dude. Always good

12:38

to talk to you. And yes, I think you were

12:40

correct. I've been on here. And this will be

12:42

the second time you've been on my show at least

12:44

twice, I believe. As

12:47

soon as I started listening to

12:49

your show, I knew it was going

12:51

to be something that meshed well

12:53

with ours because it's kind of the

12:55

same. We have more of a

12:57

callous kind of make fun of it

12:59

attitude more than your intellectual stance

13:01

that you have, but it still works

13:04

together really well. But yeah, we

13:06

we've been doing our show for about

13:08

five years. So you've got some

13:10

time on us as far as, you

13:12

know, professionalism and your your back

13:14

catalog. But We basically just

13:16

find everything that's stupid in the world

13:18

and make fun of it and

13:20

From I would like to think from

13:23

a third -party view or kind of

13:25

outside the box of Left -right paradigm

13:27

and all that stuff and it's

13:29

funny because you think I Like to

13:31

think that most people are like

13:33

that, but it turns out most people

13:35

are a lot more tribal Shows

13:37

like ours should be kind of pushed

13:40

or at least a little bit

13:42

more Popular than they

13:44

are, you know, and it seems

13:46

like the algorithms don't like that I

13:48

think you said that on maybe

13:50

yesterday show that the the algorithms favor

13:52

things that enrage people or things

13:54

that push, you know one side or

13:56

the other of the agenda, so

13:58

But as far as what we do

14:00

over there, yeah, it's just we

14:02

just make fun of stuff that we

14:04

cover news we cover the wild

14:06

the crazy the and I believe I

14:08

told you the last time I

14:10

was on, but we even cover stupid

14:12

things like Tartaria. We've done that,

14:14

I guess, four years ago now when

14:16

it first came out. Yeah. And

14:19

it's just fun. So we've had a

14:21

flat earth debate on our show. And

14:23

again, no dog in that fight at

14:25

all. But I want to hear why

14:27

people think the way they do more

14:29

than anything. I'm not taking a side

14:31

on that. I'm not like. Oh, you're

14:33

a retard because of this or that.

14:35

And that's what especially the Flat Earth

14:37

debate inevitably devolves into ad -hom attacks.

14:39

So we kind of steered clear of

14:41

that. I just I'm done with that

14:43

whole thing. But the same thing happens

14:46

with the left right paradigm. It's not

14:48

you're never going to win. There's not

14:50

going to be a winner in that

14:52

it's going to it's a forever battle

14:54

meant to be that way to go

14:56

back and forth till the end of

14:58

time. So. Uh, we do cover

15:00

some politics sometimes, but it's more to

15:02

make fun of, you know, a Biden gaff

15:04

or a Trump. Ism or.

15:07

It's not because we think it's

15:09

in and it's funny because you,

15:11

you see the people that are

15:13

drawn to your show and they

15:15

automatically assume you must be a

15:17

right wing Trump tarred because you

15:19

said this one thing. Then the

15:21

next show, somebody says, oh, you must be

15:23

a woke tarred because. This

15:25

other thing you said so being caught

15:28

in the middle is kind of

15:30

a weird place to be in 2025,

15:32

but What am I gonna do?

15:34

I can't I'm not picking sides. Well,

15:36

especially in that so being caught

15:38

in the middle is is kind of

15:40

representative of the victimhood complex because

15:42

if there has to be an identity

15:44

that is Placed upon what you're

15:46

listening to or what you're watching that

15:48

identity is either this person agrees

15:50

with me. I agree with them. I'm

15:52

going to listen. We all kind

15:54

of live in an echo chamber to

15:56

some extent, but it fulfills that

15:58

need to hear what you want to

16:01

hear, to see what you want

16:03

to see. But also when somebody disagrees

16:05

or when someone maybe sees something

16:07

they don't want to believe, let's say

16:09

a document or an article or

16:11

a story, whatever the case might be,

16:14

there's a sense of victimhood there

16:16

because they would feel as

16:18

if they're being directly attacked because

16:20

their identity is not based

16:22

on and their persona is not

16:24

based on who they really

16:26

are. It's an outward identity. You

16:28

know, it's Republican, it's Democrat,

16:30

it's a Trumper, it's a, you

16:32

know, never Trumper, it's a

16:34

environmentalist, it's a whatever the story

16:37

is, whatever the identity is, it's

16:39

the identity of the individual that

16:41

is then attacked and that makes

16:43

them victim. But that's not who

16:45

the individual really is. That's not

16:47

who I or you really am.

16:49

We are the I am. we

16:51

are, we transcend

16:54

the physical, egotistical identities.

16:57

People like David, I have been

16:59

saying that for probably a decade

17:01

and a half before I ever

17:03

started radio, but there just aren't

17:05

many radio shows, podcasts, speakers,

17:07

lecturers who make these observations

17:09

or point these kinds of

17:12

things out because it's not

17:14

sellable. And I think that's

17:16

the bottom line is that

17:18

much of what We and

17:20

also the audience tonight, what

17:22

we're interested in and what

17:24

we do is a field

17:27

or a series of fields

17:29

that are basically there. They're

17:31

just monetizing and commodifying a

17:33

form of, I guess, human

17:35

curiosity and creating like with

17:37

Flat Earth or with Tataria,

17:39

these little pockets of identity

17:42

type politics. I mean, the

17:44

Tataria and the Flat Earth. Stuff I've

17:46

done shows on that too. And my

17:48

God, those people get so angry just

17:50

asking a question about like, can you

17:52

clarify that for me? You don't believe.

17:54

Well, it's like it's not a matter

17:56

of belief. It's a matter of like,

17:58

show me the evidence or like, I

18:00

don't know, can we have a conversation?

18:03

So I think my listeners, your

18:05

listeners to understand this. So what

18:07

my goal with tonight's show and

18:09

what my goal with most shows

18:12

is is to convey this message

18:14

and to say. Publicly

18:16

that it's okay to think outside of

18:18

those paradigms and to try and separate

18:20

the ego from the true self. That's

18:22

that's my goal Yeah, and I think

18:24

that's one of the hardest things for

18:26

people to do. I mean it was

18:28

it's been hard for me I think

18:30

doing the show actually helped me with

18:32

that because the again my goal with

18:34

the show was to I say it

18:36

all the time on on our channel,

18:38

but is to try on somebody's hat

18:40

for an hour, see what that looks

18:43

like, see what the world looks like

18:45

from your eyes. I don't

18:47

have to agree. You don't have to agree with me.

18:49

I just want to know how and why you came

18:51

to those conclusions. And

18:53

we'll see where I go from there. Maybe I'll put

18:55

it in my back pocket for later. Maybe I'll

18:57

dismiss it after the show and be like, that's a

18:59

bunch of horse cockery. And I'm never going to

19:01

probably think about that again. But it doesn't matter. And

19:03

I'm not going to make fun of you for

19:05

it. If that's something you really think, OK, I

19:08

don't have a problem with that. And

19:10

if more people could just kind of see

19:12

it that way, we're like, oh, you

19:14

think like that? That's that's crazy. You want

19:17

to have a beer? You know, like

19:19

instead of this weird name calling tribalism thing

19:21

that goes on and they they start

19:23

thinking that, oh, because you don't think this

19:25

one thing, you're my enemy now. And

19:28

I mean, that's that's that victim hood mentality.

19:31

Yeah. And it's divide

19:33

and conquer. It's it's all that thing.

19:35

I mean, if you want to

19:37

go down the conspiratorial path, it's divide

19:39

and conquer. And that's it works.

19:41

Almost every time all you got to

19:43

do is find one little thing

19:45

I mean we've talked about it a

19:47

lot too about how even the

19:49

the so -called and I hate this

19:51

the truth community has been You know

19:53

infiltrated to an extent by Being

19:55

divided over things that really don't matter

19:57

as long as it takes the

19:59

focus away from the real problem which

20:01

is The they that we talk

20:03

about all the time as long as

20:05

it takes away, you know from

20:07

the real things that are going on

20:09

They're fine with it. Fight

20:11

over Flat Earth, fight over Katy Perry

20:13

and her butterfly over her eye in

20:15

the dick rocket. You know, just fight

20:17

over that stuff because... doesn't matter, but

20:19

that's all that shows up in the

20:21

feed too. That's the weird thing is

20:23

that that's all that shows up So

20:26

that tells me that's what's being pushed

20:28

which tells me it doesn't matter So

20:30

whatever's being pushed in the algorithm for

20:32

whatever given day and we we talked

20:34

about this a lot on the last

20:36

shows on but about you know the

20:38

fog the drones the Fires anything like

20:40

that, but they talk about is it

20:42

real or fake? I'm like I think

20:44

the better question is why is this

20:46

being pushed so much right now what?

20:48

Why are we fighting over whether this

20:50

is real or fake or whether they

20:52

went to space or not or? Suddenly

20:54

too, and then it just as suddenly

20:56

disappears from the conversation. Oh,

20:59

yeah. Yeah, we went over that too.

21:01

It's usually two weeks to a month with

21:03

some of these stories, sometimes longer, sometimes

21:05

shorter, but it's so quick and then you

21:07

never hear another word about it. So,

21:09

you know, that's the fog. You

21:12

said that it's kind of synchronistic for me. Well,

21:14

two nights ago I was asked. What

21:17

would it be your time three nights

21:19

ago is a couple nights ago? The

21:21

time difference has me all confused a

21:23

couple nights ago though I was asked

21:25

by by Ron Patton to make some

21:27

montages for ground zero and I they

21:29

wanted to talk about the Oakville blobs

21:32

and Some stuff falling out of the

21:34

sky in Florida and so I pulled

21:36

together some clips and they sent me

21:38

some stuff and I was I pulled

21:40

some clips from the John Carpenter movie

21:42

the fog and I was looking through

21:44

some old videos and It I had

21:47

forgotten about it myself kind of just

21:49

wasn't something I was really concerned with

21:51

and I was looking at it thinking,

21:53

you know, this is just like. Project

21:55

Blue Book in a way

21:57

like 90 % of these

22:00

stories can be can be

22:02

concluded as natural phenomenon. It's

22:04

like it's a plane. It's

22:06

a light in the sky in terms of

22:08

UFOs in terms of fog. It's like, well, that's

22:11

just like. air temperatures and moisture in the

22:13

air. And this is a natural thing. Go

22:15

outside in the morning. There's fog. It depends

22:17

on where you live. And I

22:19

think a lot of people just

22:21

don't go outside and so they don't

22:23

see the fog. It's like a

22:25

whole generation of people that have never

22:27

considered what is weather. So when

22:29

they see weather, it's like climate change,

22:31

directed energy weapons, or it's some

22:34

kind of like fog machine patent. So

22:36

it's like 90 percent of it is

22:38

easily describable. And then yeah, there are cases

22:40

that are really strange. Like if the

22:42

fog smells really weird, it might not be

22:44

the fog itself. It might be something

22:46

else in the air and it just happens

22:48

to be there's fog there at the

22:50

same time because I smell weird things. When

22:53

last time I was in Los

22:55

Angeles, it smelled like piss. There

22:57

was no fog. It smelled like

22:59

piss and chemicals all over the

23:01

place. So that's the natural ambiance

23:03

down there though. So it absolutely

23:05

is. It always smells like piss

23:07

and lost. My wife even asked

23:09

me that she went to LA

23:11

one time and she said, why

23:14

does it smell like urine P

23:16

I said I welcome to America

23:18

because everybody pisses on the sidewalk

23:20

Yeah, welcome to America. That's right.

23:22

So I guess my point about

23:24

the fog is or the flat

23:26

earth or whatever any of this

23:28

stuff is Like it's okay to

23:30

ask questions But the majority of

23:32

whatever the story is or whatever

23:34

the the case is is usually

23:36

easily describable not even through like

23:38

complex science or physics or math.

23:40

It's just, well, there's just fog.

23:43

I woke up here the other day that

23:45

was fog on the mountain outside of

23:47

our place. And I, I,

23:50

my wife said, is it how nice? I

23:52

opened the door and went out and came back

23:54

in. She said, how nice is it outside?

23:56

And I said, oh, it's a kitty foggy. And

23:58

she's all foggy. She said, yeah, it gets

24:00

like that sometimes. And I was just thinking like

24:02

the difference between her saying it just gets

24:05

like that because it's Japan. And then

24:07

in the U .S., it would have been

24:09

there's some bio weapon experiment happening at

24:11

the temple over on the mountain where the

24:13

fog is. It's the contrast between

24:15

those two worlds just makes me laugh. I'm

24:17

rambling on, but you know, go ahead. I

24:19

think you know what I mean. Oh,

24:22

yeah, I totally get it. And

24:24

I like how you always caveat

24:27

that, though, too, with, yes, there

24:29

is geoengineering and weather modification. Without

24:31

doubt. That's literally on Wikipedia, which

24:33

it blows my mind that

24:35

that's on Wikipedia. I mean, it's

24:38

right out there. You can

24:40

go read about, you know, Project

24:42

Popeye and subsequent projects and

24:44

stratospheric aerosol injections and all these

24:46

things. So that does exist,

24:48

but it doesn't mean everything is

24:50

that. And I I think

24:52

we went over this the last

24:54

time I was on though.

24:56

It stems from a generalized distrust

24:58

of power structures, which is

25:00

fair also, but you still got

25:02

to kind of step outside

25:04

of that, you know, perspective on

25:06

the world and look at

25:08

every individual case. So it seems

25:10

if not manufactured at least,

25:12

you know, steered in that direction

25:14

that everybody in this type

25:16

of community automatically when

25:18

they see something on the news

25:20

goes the other way. That

25:23

can't be natural. I mean, I

25:25

get why, but

25:27

I guess, you know, for a little bit,

25:29

I was kind of caught in that

25:31

too, or I'm like, everything on the news

25:33

is fake and gay, mostly fake, but

25:35

also probably gay. And so whatever

25:37

they tell you, do the opposite. That

25:40

could be weaponized so easily. It's

25:42

scary. So you

25:44

can't just go through you know headlines

25:46

and go. Oh, that's obviously fate because

25:49

it's on Rachel Maddow on MSNBC So

25:51

I'm gonna do the opposite of that

25:53

There needs to be exactly what the

25:55

left is doing. Yeah, that's what the

25:57

left is doing with Trump right now

25:59

like there's a meme that's like Oh

26:01

if if Trump were to come out

26:03

and say I love oxygen oxygen so

26:06

good It's the best. It's you know,

26:08

then liberals would be like well, I'm

26:10

not breathing anymore That's kind

26:12

of a I mean the inverse of

26:14

what we're talking about here where

26:16

they they look at it the same

26:18

way just from the other side

26:20

kind of so But to go back

26:22

to kind of the the victim

26:25

saying The well at least the virtue

26:27

signaling part of it I didn't

26:29

know about that word or what that

26:31

meant until a couple years ago

26:33

either and it really came to well

26:35

at least to my attention when

26:37

it was As far as

26:39

the the jibby jabs go and people

26:41

putting on their profile pictures that I

26:43

got this thing and we can do

26:45

it together and I Thought it was

26:47

weird But then when people started bringing

26:49

it up and they're like oh, it's

26:51

a virtue signaling So I had to

26:53

kind of look it up. Yeah, what

26:56

so you didn't know what it was

26:58

either and so you just heard the

27:00

term It's it's kind of more of

27:02

a Passive thing to where they just

27:04

kind of throw it up there and

27:06

if somebody sees it cool You know

27:08

like the I saw I'm a delivery

27:10

driver So I actually saw today a

27:12

sign in somebody's yard that said in

27:14

this house We believe oh we believe

27:16

in science in this house We you

27:18

know that whole platitude lists that they

27:20

have and it's on a rainbow background

27:22

the whole thing and I'm like That's

27:24

virtue signaling at its finest it's passive

27:27

Look at me without going out there

27:29

and being look at me. It's it's

27:31

look at me put a sign in

27:33

your yard sign Yeah, and it like

27:35

you said it happens the same way

27:37

on the other side where people are

27:39

driving their lifted trucks with a Trump

27:41

flag and don't tread on me flag

27:43

The same thing is just on the

27:45

other side. Yeah, you know what that's

27:47

really interesting that you say this about

27:49

the the flag and the lifted truck

27:51

is kind of you know the the

27:53

iconic right -wing conservative kind of a vehicle

27:55

I I always thought When

27:57

I learned about like what that flag

27:59

represents the serpent flag don't tread

28:01

on me the Gaston flag I always

28:03

thought okay Well people probably know

28:05

where it comes from when I learned

28:07

I wanted to share like where

28:09

it comes from and I wanted to

28:11

share with people like hey Did

28:13

you did you know that? You

28:16

know what you're saying about

28:18

liberty or freedom or free speech?

28:20

It's a little bit inaccurate. Like, did you

28:23

actually read the First Amendment? Do you

28:25

know what it actually says? Do you know

28:27

the context of it? When I learned

28:29

those things about like basic constitutional law, I

28:31

Tried to talk to those kinds of

28:33

people about it and they had no

28:36

idea what I was talking about and

28:38

It kind of shocked me because these

28:40

are the people that walk around drive

28:42

around with stickers that say come and

28:44

take it and Don't take

28:46

my rights away and

28:48

civil liberty and freedom. And

28:50

then you ask them

28:52

to explain to you what

28:54

those things mean. It's

28:56

just freedom. Well, no, there's

28:59

a difference between civil liberty and

29:01

civil rights. And the liberals

29:03

don't know the difference between that either.

29:05

Can you explain that? It's like, it's

29:07

weird because all of it is kind

29:09

of like a live action role play.

29:11

I'm a patriot, but you never read

29:13

the Constitution. that they'll even put Constitution

29:15

people have the damn thing tattooed on

29:17

their chest and never actually read it.

29:19

And that that baffles me a little

29:21

bit. Yeah, I

29:23

mean, again, that's another

29:25

form of virtue signaling. I always

29:27

think it's funny to see those those

29:30

trucks we're talking about with a

29:32

two a sticker. And right underneath that,

29:34

they'll have the flag with the

29:36

blue line. Yes. And it's like, if

29:39

somebody were to come take away your guns,

29:41

it would probably be law enforcement. What?

29:44

How do you reconcile those two things? Now,

29:46

to be fair, around where we live, the

29:49

cops would actually probably be on our side

29:51

and just say, you know, fuck you to

29:53

whatever rule came down that said they had

29:55

to go confiscate all the guns. But in

29:57

the majority of cities, especially the big cities,

29:59

they're going to be the ones taking your

30:01

guns. So don't tread

30:04

on me, you know, come and take

30:06

it and then have a police

30:08

blue lives matter, blue line fly. It's

30:10

just I don't get it. It

30:12

is disgusting on both sides. It blows

30:14

my mind and I'm just kind of

30:16

like every time I see that driving

30:18

around because I'm like, why do you

30:20

have to do that? Like I don't

30:22

I don't feel the need to tell

30:24

people that I carry a gun. If

30:27

you try to do something to me,

30:29

you're going to find out I'd rather it

30:31

be a surprise. I'm not

30:33

going to warn you. Yeah.

30:35

And there's no reason to strut

30:37

around with it. In fact, that's

30:39

what makes gun owners look like.

30:42

Idiots to have a picture of your gun on

30:44

your truck and to have you know it

30:46

making sure that it's sticking out I forget to

30:48

who the radio host was but there's a

30:50

radio host up in Portland. Is it the same

30:53

station that? ground zero used to

30:55

broadcast out of and the guy Who was it

30:57

was like a super conservative guy had a

30:59

radio show and he'd always I was told he'd

31:01

always walk around the office with his gun

31:03

on this hip Anytime you kind of get an

31:05

argument with him. He'd kind of like put

31:07

his hand You know not grabbing it, but like

31:09

he'd he'd get in the position And

31:12

that's the kind of thing that makes gun

31:14

owners look like. That's a mall cop type of

31:16

thing to do. It is a mall cop.

31:18

You don't actually have a gun, but put your

31:20

hand back so it looks like you do.

31:22

You gotta get in the position. And that's just

31:24

posturing. Another form of, not really virtue signaling,

31:26

but posturing. And yeah, those are

31:28

the people I'm the least scared of, because I'm

31:30

like, I bet you don't even know how

31:32

to use that thing. I'm not worried about you.

31:34

Well, see, okay, so this is the reason,

31:36

this is really interesting, this conversation already, because this

31:38

is the reason I don't like to I

31:41

don't like to put my show

31:43

out in the world in a

31:45

lot of different ways where I

31:47

could. One, it's been

31:49

removed from so many platforms. But

31:52

another reason is it's because it's just too much

31:54

energy and time to put it up if it's going

31:56

to be taken down. But I just don't want

31:58

to constantly promote myself. I don't like that. If people

32:00

like the show, they'll find it. And

32:02

that's kind of my personality. Maybe

32:05

that makes me a much more reserved

32:07

person. There's nothing wrong with putting yourself

32:09

out there. Um, but there's,

32:12

there's a lot of very

32:14

popular radio shows where, and I've

32:16

even had friends before who

32:18

have had very popular shows where

32:20

they always tell you, you

32:22

know, this is the number one

32:24

show and we have the

32:26

truth or we were the best

32:28

in conservative this or we're

32:30

the, and all that always made

32:32

me really uncomfortable. Even

32:34

if I was on a network that would say

32:36

like we're the number one network It's like I

32:38

don't think you could objectively in any way shape

32:40

or form say that I understand its promotion, but

32:42

I like to be how are you quantifying that?

32:45

Yeah, you're you're you're not able to

32:47

and if if I give you an example

32:49

I had a friend one time he

32:51

had a pretty big radio show and He

32:53

would tell people every night. He's like

32:56

this is where you're gonna get the truth

32:58

and it always irritated me Because I

33:00

would ask him how do you define

33:02

the truth first of all? And even if

33:04

you can define it, how do you

33:06

quantify what the truth is when a lot

33:08

of what you're saying is just your

33:10

opinion? That's just a totally

33:13

subjective thing. It's not just

33:15

a matter of semantics. It's a

33:17

matter of fact. We

33:19

need to be very specific,

33:21

especially if we're talking about elusive

33:23

and kind of etheric things

33:25

in terms of the supernatural or

33:27

the occult. And particularly if

33:29

we're talking about legal things or

33:31

people talk about the law

33:34

and what's right and what's freedom

33:36

and liberty, that's really particular

33:38

stuff that you need to know

33:40

exactly what you're saying and

33:42

reference it directly because otherwise it's

33:44

just kind of a distorted

33:46

idea going back to like the

33:48

First Amendment or something like

33:50

that. Like we have to explain

33:53

to American citizens free speech

33:55

means that the government Yes, can't

33:57

regulate your speech necessarily. It's

33:59

not meant to protect speech such

34:01

as I love the government. It's supposed

34:04

to protect speech like I hate

34:06

the government. And to

34:08

have to explain that to generation

34:10

after generation, nobody explained that to

34:12

me. It wasn't taught to me

34:14

in school is that's really important.

34:16

That's a little critical key core

34:18

detail. And those are the

34:20

kinds of things that as a human

34:23

Those are the kinds of things with

34:25

my show that I think are the

34:27

most important. There are little things that

34:29

get left out of the conversation. And

34:31

one more quick example is the Blue

34:33

Origin story. There's a fake hand, Katy

34:35

Perry is a clone. It's

34:38

just a fake door. And

34:40

while all of that

34:42

might be legitimate criticism and

34:44

interesting, I mean,

34:47

ultimately, the whole thing

34:49

to me looked like some

34:51

sort of Easter ritual.

34:53

the shepherd capsule, the

34:55

penis rocket, the white sperm capsule

34:57

that comes down in the field

34:59

of reeds, which is part of

35:01

the Egyptian mythology. And you

35:03

go to the field of reeds once

35:05

the blue feather, which is the logo of

35:07

Blue Origin, gets weighed and it's heavier

35:09

than the heart. And then you go to

35:12

the field of reeds. Like those little

35:14

things, to me, I think those

35:16

are fascinating, but that's not what is interesting.

35:18

What's interesting is there's a fake hand. I

35:20

don't know if you saw that story. I

35:22

don't know what that what does that even

35:24

mean? There's a fake hand. Well, because you

35:26

have a grainy picture. I don't I

35:28

think I've told you this. I don't even

35:30

know what the fuck people are talking about anymore.

35:33

I'm so lost and confused, Joe.

35:35

I don't even know what to

35:37

say half the time. Well,

35:39

you'd have to spend probably a

35:41

lot more time on the Internet or

35:43

on 4chan or 8kun, whatever the

35:45

fuck it's called now. But a lot

35:48

of these things. Like you

35:50

always say are probably intelligence agency

35:52

driven just to it's like red

35:54

herring. You know, yeah, chase that

35:56

the fake hand or the what

35:58

don't worry about what's actually going

36:00

on or you know, the deeper

36:02

symbology or whatever. And

36:05

we love to talk about these

36:07

crazy things like Katy Perry being a

36:09

clone. That's fun

36:11

to talk about and speculate and look at

36:13

different things. But I'm not coming out

36:15

like you were saying earlier about oh, this is

36:17

where you get the truth. Would

36:19

never say that that's ridiculous to

36:21

say oh I have the

36:23

truth never trust somebody who says

36:25

they have the truth they

36:27

don't that's Especially on to some

36:29

random podcast like and to

36:31

be fair if you listen to

36:33

what me or Ryan say

36:35

and you take it and run

36:37

Well, who's the retard now

36:39

because we're just two regular people

36:41

speculating and talking about things

36:43

we like to talk about so

36:45

but When

36:48

it comes to the the blue origin

36:50

thing I saw several clips because it

36:52

was shoved down my throat not because

36:54

I give a shit about it or

36:56

anything, but it was There are weird

36:58

parts of it, but I think people

37:00

can also kind of make a mountain

37:02

out of molehill with a lot of

37:04

it and Was it real was it

37:06

fake did they actually get shot up

37:08

in a rocket? I don't know you

37:10

can fight about that all day, but

37:12

it seemed like some kind of weird

37:14

PR stunt at the very least That

37:18

that seems I mean as far as

37:20

Occam's razor goes that seems like the

37:22

most likely thing is that some kind

37:25

of PR stunt Or like you were

37:27

saying it has some deeper deeper things

37:29

with Easter and fertility and all that

37:31

stuff things that most people don't even

37:33

think about because we don't celebrate These

37:35

holidays the same way we used to

37:37

So nobody thinks about Easter as a

37:40

fertility ritual or you know the way

37:42

the the ancients did so I wasn't

37:44

even saying that in the sense that

37:46

there was a conspiracy. I was simply

37:48

pointing out the details and then saying

37:50

it's probably natural and it's probably, it's

37:52

just synchronistic, but I don't know if

37:55

it's a conspiracy. No,

37:57

yeah. And I hate it

37:59

when everybody goes straight to, oh,

38:01

there's a conspiracy. And like,

38:03

first of all, there's no conspiracy

38:05

and there's no theory. We're

38:08

just reporting on something that actually

38:10

happened and showing weird things

38:12

about it. So the people

38:14

that immediately jumped to, oh, you're a

38:16

conspiracy theorist because like, no, I'm

38:18

just look at the video. I'm just

38:20

showing you what I saw in

38:22

this video. Where's the

38:24

conspiracy theory about it? It's just

38:26

weird. The media loves nothing else. It

38:28

is weird if nothing else. The

38:30

media loves the mainstream media, if

38:33

we can still call it that.

38:35

They love those stories. Because parallel

38:37

to blue origins amazing Jeff Bezos

38:39

is great his girlfriend with the

38:41

fake lips or his wife with

38:43

the fake lips and fake tits.

38:45

She's amazing and Disgusting totally disgusting

38:47

on the on the flip side

38:49

of that though on the other

38:51

side of that the media's loves

38:53

this the conspiracies What did Azalea

38:55

Banks? I think it was Azalea

38:57

Banks, you know the shoe wrapper or

38:59

something. What did the you know

39:01

this celebrity? What did this person?

39:03

say about it and here's the

39:05

conspiracies from the internet. It's

39:07

almost like they're creating both like

39:09

here's the story and here's the conspiracy

39:11

and you guys can play with

39:13

it and fight with it. At the

39:15

very least it's not a conspiracy

39:17

it's just a matter of it's you

39:20

get to choose between which bottle

39:22

of soda you want. You're still drinking

39:24

soda. But you get to choose

39:26

which one you want, or you can

39:28

choose how you die. You're still

39:30

going to die, but you can choose

39:32

the method by which you die,

39:34

the electric chair, firing squad, lethal injection,

39:36

et cetera. And that's kind of

39:38

how I see it. illusion of choice. This is,

39:40

yeah, this is how everything goes. I mean, the

39:42

obvious one is the political theater. You

39:44

have the illusion of choice. My

39:46

brother, I don't think you've met my little

39:49

brother. He's on the show sometimes, but he

39:51

always likened it when his kids were like

39:53

three or four. He's

39:55

like, yeah, to me politics is

39:57

like, oh, I tell my kids, hey,

39:59

guess what? You can have Cheerios

40:01

or Lucky Charms. Meanwhile, you have bacon

40:03

and sausage and ham and everything

40:05

in the fridge. So it looks like

40:07

they get to choose what they

40:09

want for breakfast. Meanwhile, there's a bunch

40:11

of other choices that are probably

40:13

way better that you don't get to

40:15

choose from because you got the,

40:17

but that's such a psychological maneuver to

40:19

tell people. Hey powers

40:21

in your hands, bro. You get

40:23

this this or this Yeah, everyone's

40:25

like yes, it's all we can

40:27

do is vote or it's all

40:29

we can you know and we

40:32

get to pick all right We're

40:34

gonna do lucky charms and they're

40:36

like Yeah, that that shit's terrible

40:38

for you. But all right at

40:40

least the boys for yourself. Yeah,

40:42

you pick the poison I look

40:44

at doge in the same way

40:46

Okay, Doge has uncovered things that

40:48

are really really weird like pain

40:50

for transgender education or condoms for

40:52

queers or I don't know the

40:54

most weirdest bizarre stuff and Yes,

40:56

that's that quote. I'll put some

40:58

air quotations up that should be

41:00

exposed But a lot of it

41:02

is stuff. We've already known I

41:04

remember reading reports for example back

41:06

in like my god 2010 2011

41:08

we learned that the Pentagon was

41:10

spending like hundreds of millions of

41:13

dollars air conditioning bases in and

41:15

throughout the Middle East, some of

41:17

which had been partially abandoned and

41:19

they were spending millions of dollars

41:21

just blasting air conditioners in them.

41:23

Just the amount of waste. You

41:25

could look up the Washington Post. The

41:28

Air Force spent like thousands of dollars

41:30

on a piece of plastic for a

41:33

toilet seat, which is kind of like

41:35

Independence Day. That's a real

41:37

story. Actually, I could pull that up. So

41:39

like we know that there's a lot of

41:41

waste. So yeah, it's good to expose it.

41:43

But then as they expose the waste and

41:45

there's a couple billion here, a couple billion

41:47

there, a couple billion, that's

41:49

good. But then they announce,

41:51

oh, there's going to

41:53

be another one trillion dollar

41:55

Pentagon budget. And

41:57

you look at that and it's

41:59

like the difference between a billion

42:01

and a trillion is pretty vast.

42:04

Even if you exposed a hundred

42:06

billion dollars. worth of waste. Well,

42:08

now you need to multiply that

42:10

by 10. And that's how much

42:12

the Pentagon is going to get

42:14

for their budget. And remember, this

42:16

is a Pentagon that fails their

42:19

audits. They failed over half a

42:21

dozen of them. So

42:23

it's like, hold on a second,

42:25

you're going to give a trillion

42:27

dollars to the Pentagon that already

42:29

cannot account for hundreds of billions

42:32

of dollars, the numbers 824 billion

42:34

they cannot account for. That's in

42:36

the seventh audit in a row

42:38

they've failed, and that doesn't even

42:40

include the 2 .3 trillion that was

42:42

announced back in 2001. We're talking

42:45

trillions and trillions and trillions lost,

42:47

so we're going to give the Pentagon a trillion.

42:49

And my point is to this whole thing,

42:52

this rant, the people

42:54

that are in support

42:56

of DOGE and anti -corruption

42:58

and waste, where the hell

43:00

are they at now? Where

43:02

the hell are these same people that

43:04

are pro doge pro musk pro

43:06

Trump? We're gonna save the government from

43:09

spending all this money and our

43:11

tax dollars But we can give a

43:13

trillion to the Pentagon. That's okay

43:15

And the same Pentagon can't account for

43:17

almost a trillion dollars already Yeah,

43:19

and that's real quick that headline this

43:22

is not the Babylon B people

43:24

it says Pentagon fails Seventh

43:26

audit in a row but says

43:28

progress made does that not sound like

43:30

the onion or the Babylon be

43:32

this is the hill it does with

43:34

the nation's largest government agency still

43:37

unable to fully account for it's more

43:39

than 824 billion dollar budget Wow,

43:41

and then they're gonna give a trillion

43:43

I can show for the video

43:45

and if you're not a subscriber you

43:47

can subscribe on the website TST

43:49

radio info and You can watch tonight's

43:51

show in the video archive if

43:54

you're already a subscriber and You're

43:56

just listening. Check out the video

43:58

archive and you can watch the presentation

44:00

tonight. But here is

44:02

some examples. Here's Newsweek. Trump

44:04

announces one trillion dollar Pentagon budget.

44:07

And then here's almost a

44:09

trillion that they cannot

44:11

account for. So you're going

44:13

to give them another trillion. We

44:16

got to build the military up. Well, why don't

44:18

they find the money first? I mean,

44:20

my point is the people that really

44:22

are in support of DOGE Just

44:24

kind of ignore this part. I

44:27

always I always think of that line

44:29

from happy Gilmore Where where he goes back

44:31

the guy doesn't say anything to him

44:33

the caddy doesn't say anything to him about

44:36

About standing in the way of the

44:38

shooters and he goes back over to me

44:40

He's like hey, he's like where were

44:42

you on that one asshole? It's like where

44:44

are these doge people at that's fine.

44:46

It's totally fine that we I think that

44:48

That that particular group of people are

44:50

also largely In favor

44:52

of a certain country in

44:54

the Middle East doing whatever they

44:57

want with whatever money we

44:59

send them so bolster our military

45:01

because that helps you know

45:03

the jays and. I

45:05

mean that's all I can chalk

45:07

it up to because there it's crickets

45:09

like you said nobody saying anything

45:11

about this trillion dollar military budget. But

45:14

if Trump comes out and says, oh, it's

45:16

because our greatest ally needs it to bomb children

45:18

in Gaza, then it's fine. And everyone's cool

45:20

with it. And they don't really say a whole

45:22

lot. They just kind of sweep it into

45:24

the rug and then carry on with whatever Doge

45:26

is doing. I put that article

45:28

up on the screen, too. I don't

45:30

know if you saw it. It keeps

45:33

it wants me to pay. But if

45:35

I reload the page, you can read

45:37

the headline, Washington Post, the Air Force's

45:39

$10 ,000 toilet seat. That's

45:41

a lot of money for a toilet seat for a little piece

45:43

of plastic. I mean, that's nothing

45:45

new. I mean, even down to

45:47

the civilian level, the hospitals do

45:49

that. Why do you think medical

45:51

bills are so high? They're charging

45:53

you 20 bucks for a mucus

45:55

retention device. It's a fucking Kleenex.

45:57

Like this happens. $75

45:59

for a Tylenol. Yeah,

46:03

things like that. And it's

46:05

like, how is this not absolute

46:07

like embezzlement or money laundering? Something

46:10

it this is crazy. I don't I

46:12

don't know how that's even allowed to happen

46:14

and I think as far as the

46:16

medical industry goes I think the reason they

46:18

do that is because they They don't

46:20

get paid for a lot of shit They

46:22

do to be fair because people just

46:24

don't pay and I get it but that

46:26

doesn't mean you can gouge everybody else

46:28

who has insurance What do you think insurance

46:30

is so high because they're paying 75

46:32

bucks for a Tylenol like so I think

46:34

the insurance company learned from the The

46:37

Pentagon or maybe the other

46:39

way around I'm not sure but

46:41

they know how to how

46:43

to do it and you know

46:46

charge 500 bucks per nail

46:48

to build something or It's crazy

46:50

when you start looking into

46:52

it. It's like this is highway

46:54

robbery Yeah, yeah, and you're

46:57

getting taxed. Yeah, it's it's really

46:59

You use the word tribalism

47:01

earlier and that's accurate. It's like

47:03

professional sports because

47:05

if you have a player on

47:07

one team and that player gets traded

47:09

to another team and They come

47:11

back to the arena or the stadium

47:13

where they used to play Sometimes

47:15

there might be an applause or like

47:18

a thank -you video or if they

47:20

were a big name But most

47:22

of the time there's boo boo, but

47:24

it's just the same guy just

47:26

with a different jersey on and that's

47:28

literally what happened with Musk He's

47:30

a liberal technocrat now. He votes Republican.

47:32

We got to buy his cars It's

47:35

just so stupid. Oh,

47:39

yeah. So it went from that we got

47:41

to buy his cars to now he's

47:43

a Nazi and we're going to paint swastikas

47:45

on his cars, which is funny because

47:47

most of the people who bought those cars

47:49

are probably from the previous couple of

47:51

years who thought he was a liberal in

47:54

environment and all that stuff. And now

47:56

those same people are painting swastikas on the

47:58

car. It doesn't make any sense. I'm

48:00

tired of even trying to make sense of

48:02

it. That's why I say we just

48:04

make fun of stuff because it's like that

48:06

really is the best way to do

48:08

it. Paint me however you want, but I'm

48:10

just calling a spade a spade here

48:12

and you can if you, you know, are

48:14

watching the news or social media, you

48:16

would see it's also a spade. So well,

48:18

here's here's another spade for you. My

48:20

friend of mine sent me this story the

48:22

other day. Another Brooklyn woman, I say

48:24

another Brooklyn woman, another woman, another person was

48:26

arrested. Another person in

48:28

New York was arrested after trying

48:30

to leave a brick with

48:32

a um or did leave a

48:35

brick with a swastika on

48:37

it on a cyber truck in

48:39

uh I guess the jewish

48:41

one of the jewish neighborhoods in

48:43

new york city the problem

48:45

is the woman was also jewish

48:48

so a jewish woman used

48:50

a swastika brick to I guess

48:52

vandalize a tesla and uh

48:54

she was jewish which is she

48:56

can do that because If

48:59

you call her out for that,

49:01

then you're anti -Semitic. So even

49:03

though she's she can do that

49:05

that did it. Yeah Well, there's

49:07

just another another example of how

49:09

insane all of this stuff is

49:12

It's It's something that has left

49:14

me Speechless a lot of the

49:16

time because if you show that

49:18

article to somebody I'll bring it

49:20

back up on screen You know,

49:22

you just read the headline And

49:24

that's all that matters. The headline

49:26

is another, you know, another crazy

49:29

Tesla person. They hate Musk

49:31

or something suddenly and they're going to

49:33

vandalize a Tesla truck or whatever. And

49:35

then you read it, you're like, well, the woman

49:38

who did it was Jewish. And

49:40

then suddenly the story kind of

49:42

just vanishes and disappears because it

49:44

only matters if it's anti Jewish. But

49:47

if it let's think about if Pam Bondi were to

49:49

go and arrest this woman and have this one prosecuted and

49:51

put in jail for a long time or whatever. Oh,

49:53

there'd be a backlash because then

49:55

Pam Bondi would be anti -Semitic and

49:57

then they try to deport her from

50:00

the country. Like, I don't know.

50:02

It's really, I'm gonna just, I'm gonna

50:04

curse again. It is fucking insane

50:06

and unbearable and intolerable. The hypocrisy and

50:08

the ego. Like, I'm

50:10

to the point where I do

50:12

my show and then I check

50:14

out of everything going on. I

50:16

don't want to see the Articles

50:18

or the fucking Rumbles or the

50:20

fucking Odyssey's and all these AI

50:22

genders. This is people's voice, not

50:25

AI radio. And I am going to

50:27

tell you today about the deep state. It's

50:29

like, shut the fuck up. I'm so

50:31

tired of hearing it. You know what I

50:33

mean? And TikTok

50:35

is the the worst. And I know

50:37

a lot of people that love I

50:39

have good friends that do podcasts and

50:41

they love TikTok for finding different things.

50:43

That's one thing. But yeah, some of

50:45

these some of these videos, it's

50:47

just how do you How do

50:49

you not see what's going on here?

50:51

And I think it was on

50:53

the show we did with Shane Sidora,

50:55

but kind of talked about the

50:57

pyramid thing and The AI videos that

50:59

surfaced like right after that and

51:02

they're like somebody went down underneath the

51:04

audience already and saw those look

51:06

at these look at these crazy videos

51:08

and I thought it was a

51:10

joke like legit a joke because I'm

51:12

like nobody thinks this is real,

51:14

right? No, they did a lot of

51:16

people did or their bots hard

51:18

to tell But either way, a

51:20

lot of, you know, decently

51:22

big sized accounts were reposting

51:24

this, and I'm like, my brothers,

51:26

what are you doing? This

51:28

is obviously AI. Like what? This

51:30

one. Are you serious? For

51:33

the people? Yes. A hidden

51:35

city has been discovered beneath

51:37

the pyramids of Giza, and

51:39

it changes everything we thought

51:41

we knew. Using advanced radar

51:43

tech scientists. It definitely changes everything we

51:45

thought we knew, because I thought that

51:47

We were smarter than that. I thought

51:49

people were smarter. They're dumber. They

51:52

believe it. Well, it is weird

51:54

because the AI thing is just it's

51:56

gotten so out of hand. And

51:58

I thought even six months, maybe a

52:00

year ago, I thought, oh, this

52:02

is no big deal. This AI thing,

52:04

like it's no whatever. It's

52:06

come a long way and it's only going to get

52:08

better. And it is hard. It's getting

52:10

harder and harder to tell what is AI

52:12

and what isn't or what's, you know, a deep

52:14

fake or whatever they call it. I

52:17

think we mentioned that in the last show we did

52:19

though. I'm like, how long has this actually been going on?

52:21

And they're just kind of teasing it out now. It's

52:24

up for debate. But I

52:26

pulled this website up. I'm

52:28

not going to like promote

52:30

them because I don't know

52:33

them. But there's like,

52:35

I think the guy's name is

52:37

Marty or Mardermade or Mardermade is

52:39

a name, but that's the name

52:41

of the podcast. And

52:43

he was on, I think he was on

52:45

Joe Rogan. M. A. R. T. Y.

52:47

R. Marty made. I guess his name is Marty. Again,

52:50

I don't know the guy. But he did

52:52

like this big series called Fear

52:54

and Loathing in the New Jerusalem. That's

52:57

like, what was that sound? Was

52:59

that your computer? I

53:02

guess so. That was weird. Sounded like

53:04

a robot. Sorry about that. But

53:06

anyway, this guy was this guy

53:08

was on Joe Rogan and now his

53:11

this podcast has gotten huge like

53:13

this particular one because. people want to

53:15

listen to it after even before

53:17

Joe Rogan. But the point is what

53:19

I'm getting at, I pulled this up a couple of minutes

53:21

ago because I wanted to ask you about this or

53:23

talk to you about this. In

53:25

relation to something else you

53:27

had said, this guy spends

53:30

hours doing a long form

53:32

show kind of like I

53:34

do. And he tells a

53:36

story from the perspective of

53:38

the various sides involved. So

53:42

that particular shows of course about

53:45

Israel and Gaza and he tells

53:47

it from the perspective of like

53:49

Jews in World War two and

53:51

then Palestinians today and kind of

53:53

shows how There's you know a

53:55

relationship that let's say victims actual

53:57

victims you know half and He

53:59

shows how you know we're all

54:02

people and that there's there's always

54:04

another side of the story and

54:06

and so on and so forth

54:08

but because he did that even

54:10

though he's Probably not even somebody

54:12

I don't know if I'd agree

54:14

with him a lot of stuff

54:16

He says he shows many sides

54:19

of the same story and it's

54:21

a lot of times things that

54:23

you've never heard before But because

54:25

of that because he's willing to

54:27

show the other side People like

54:29

we were talking about earlier label

54:31

him all kinds of horrible things

54:33

like this guy's been accused of

54:35

just being like a Nazi who

54:38

wants to slaughter Jews because he

54:40

would dare to give you

54:42

know a little consideration to Like

54:44

maybe everything you heard about Hitler wasn't

54:46

entirely accurate So let's look he was

54:48

a monster But let's look at it

54:50

through the eyes of like his own

54:52

book something I you know I point

54:54

out on it read his ball can't

54:57

read his book. Why? It

54:59

doesn't mean I love Hitler it just means that

55:01

I would like to read the book for myself

55:03

Just like I'd like to read the Commence Manifesto. It's

55:05

a really short book. You can read it while

55:07

you're taking a shit because it's

55:09

the most nonsensical thing you've ever read in your

55:11

life, but you read that and

55:13

you're like, oh, now I understand why

55:15

these people are so crazy because it

55:17

sounds really good, but it's flawed. But

55:20

I would like to read those things. And

55:22

this is part of the problem with, I

55:25

would say, the culture is

55:27

that whatever the narrative is,

55:30

you're not allowed to address the

55:32

other side. Whatever side

55:34

you're on, you know, because if

55:36

you breach that side and

55:38

you're Republican or a Democrat, then

55:41

you get placed into the

55:43

other category. And the point

55:45

is, and what I'm getting at here,

55:48

and I have this, my own

55:50

experience too with that previous radio

55:52

network, when you say,

55:54

I don't want to kill

55:56

innocent people, you

55:58

will get removed

56:00

from platforms. for

56:02

not wanting to kill innocent people

56:05

because there's the implication that, oh,

56:07

then you must hate Israel. Or

56:09

I would like to read Mein Kampf,

56:11

oh, you must be a Nazi. It's

56:13

like, no, I just, I'm just trying

56:16

to learn whatever that results in. I'm

56:18

just trying to learn. Isn't that a

56:20

super toxic thing? I

56:22

don't want to kill innocent people gets

56:24

you removed for being anti -Semitic. Isn't

56:26

that kind of, isn't there an inference

56:28

there that what they're doing is killing

56:30

innocent people? Yes,

56:32

in a nutshell. Yes.

56:36

Interesting. Yeah, in a nutshell, that's pretty

56:38

much what it is. There's

56:41

so many examples we could

56:43

go through tonight, but there are

56:45

other people out there, in

56:47

the case of this Marty Maid,

56:49

who are trying to provide

56:51

another point of view. But

56:54

when I look at that kind

56:56

of thing and what we're talking about

56:58

tonight and victimhood and ego and

57:00

persona, all this, And then I compare

57:02

it to my experience outside of

57:04

the United States and outside of the

57:06

Western world. It's totally night

57:08

and day, like with the fog outside.

57:10

My wife's like, oh, it's just the

57:12

other fog. It's Japan. It's

57:14

like, oh, OK. You go downtown, there's

57:17

like swastikas or savastikas on

57:19

things because it's the manji.

57:21

It's Buddhist. Nobody

57:24

freaks out. There's

57:26

our predates Nazis. I

57:28

mean, our predates Nazis. And

57:30

I saw they had history books

57:32

at some of the gas

57:34

station gas stations or convenience stores

57:36

books on Hitler just on

57:38

the shelf next to big titted

57:40

Japanese girls anime characters. It's

57:42

very strange. And it's just like

57:44

it's it's not just a

57:46

different world and it's not just

57:48

Japan. It's just like the

57:50

US has these hyper insane zealot

57:52

cults. And that does exist,

57:54

of course, everywhere in the world.

57:57

But I think it's worse

57:59

in the US because if you

58:01

look at social media or

58:03

Japanese social media, it's totally different.

58:05

It's more reserved. It's very

58:07

strict and within the

58:09

culture, it's not like

58:11

a thousand different apps necessarily than

58:14

it's just all this garbage that's

58:16

being pumped into people's heads. Like

58:18

in China, they show people how to do

58:20

basic things around the house and they teach

58:22

them a little history. It might be fake,

58:24

but at least there's some kind

58:26

of educational purpose to it. And the U

58:28

.S., like you're saying with TikTok, like what

58:30

do we get in the U .S.? We

58:32

get fake pyramid videos. We get fat

58:34

black women fighting at Walmart. It's

58:36

just total degeneracy, Joe. Well,

58:39

it's so funny to you the

58:42

irony of you know, you saying I

58:44

want to I want to read

58:46

Hitler's book or the Communist Manifesto or

58:48

whatever You can't do that because

58:50

if you do then you're obviously Hitler

58:52

Which is strange because if you

58:54

gave those people the choice they would

58:56

probably want to burn those books,

58:59

right? Which is also something Hitler did

59:01

It's genius. I mean where absolutely

59:03

where is the No, you

59:05

can't read this book. We should

59:07

burn all these burn mine comp

59:09

and everything because because the guy

59:11

who wrote it burned books and

59:13

he didn't want people and yeah,

59:15

it's That's why I'm love love

59:17

speechless too. I don't know. That's

59:19

brilliant. That's that's why we're friends

59:21

That's that's exactly what it is.

59:23

I went on what show is

59:25

that the morning was at the

59:27

morning journal. I think it was

59:29

with Harrison Smith on info wars

59:31

when He had a

59:33

guest host Christon Harris and I

59:35

went on there to talk about the

59:38

symbolism of the eclipse and I

59:40

had my book collection behind me I

59:42

think the videos I think on

59:44

our website for free can still find

59:46

a band -aute video But I had

59:48

my books behind me and I

59:50

had at the time probably 300 and

59:52

something books and the info wars

59:54

sleuths They photo they took

59:56

a photo and they zoomed in

59:58

and they looked at all my books

1:00:00

and because I had a book

1:00:02

by Archie Brown Who's like a a

1:00:04

college educated expert? He's a professor who

1:00:06

wrote like one of the definitive

1:00:08

books about communism and how horrible it

1:00:10

is The info warriors said that I

1:00:12

was a communist and I shouldn't

1:00:14

be on info wars Even though it

1:00:17

was a book about how horrible communism

1:00:19

was and I'm just sitting there thinking

1:00:21

like oh these people are out

1:00:23

of their minds They don't have

1:00:25

any ability to discern what is

1:00:27

being said. It's no wonder that particular

1:00:29

group of people, that particular info

1:00:31

warrior cult is the way that

1:00:33

they are. They just listen

1:00:36

to everything Alex says and know

1:00:38

nothing's in context and no

1:00:40

discernment. They're using

1:00:42

a tyrannical, you

1:00:44

know, well,

1:00:47

now technocratic rule to try to

1:00:49

get rid of. A tyrannical technocratic rule.

1:00:51

It's the same type of thing.

1:00:53

They're either I mean, I guess you

1:00:55

could call it fighting fire with

1:00:57

fire, but they're they're using the same

1:00:59

methods to get rid of the

1:01:01

the thing they don't want Which then

1:01:03

the other side is which means

1:01:05

they become they become that thing Right,

1:01:07

but they can't see it. It's

1:01:10

a big blind spot. That's a we

1:01:12

don't know because we're right at

1:01:14

the left of the same thing No,

1:01:16

we're we can do this though

1:01:18

because we're in the right and that's

1:01:20

The virtue signaling. Yeah. The moral

1:01:22

licensing, exactly. Which is

1:01:24

funny because if you read

1:01:26

Mein Kampf, Hitler was also

1:01:28

in the right. And if you

1:01:30

read the Communist Manifesto, well,

1:01:34

and all the people that

1:01:36

supported it, that

1:01:38

they were right and Mao was right and

1:01:40

Pol Pot was right. Everybody

1:01:42

was right. Jack the Ripper was

1:01:44

probably right, too. Everybody was

1:01:46

right. No, you're right that

1:01:48

you're right that that's the danger. That's

1:01:50

what I've been trying to point out

1:01:53

for a couple of years. I don't

1:01:55

put this on me, bro It's it's

1:01:57

so important to realize that because if

1:01:59

you if you I think if you

1:02:01

can recognize that you can start to

1:02:03

try to walk back from the edge

1:02:05

of the cliff the best example I

1:02:07

can give you is The

1:02:09

way that the Democrats reacted to

1:02:11

Trump all the violence and the

1:02:13

threats and the death and then

1:02:15

even the potential actual assassination attempts,

1:02:18

etc If those were truly organic

1:02:20

and then the Republicans are like

1:02:22

we're being attacked and even Obama

1:02:24

he sent the IRS after the

1:02:26

churches, etc And then as soon

1:02:28

as they get power, it's like

1:02:30

that movie bananas with with Woody

1:02:32

Allen as soon as the rebels

1:02:35

take power they start, you know

1:02:38

They put like some laws on underwear and

1:02:40

it was just immediate tyranny as soon

1:02:42

as they got power and as soon as

1:02:44

Republicans got power It was they they

1:02:46

literally started calling for the same things that

1:02:48

the Democrats were doing Putting people in

1:02:50

jail using law fair without and there's no

1:02:52

due process of law etc. Soon as

1:02:54

the Republicans got in power It was we

1:02:56

got to immediately go and start arresting

1:02:58

these Democrats and putting them in jail and

1:03:00

we don't even have time for due

1:03:03

process That's what I hear all over the

1:03:05

internet. It's like that's This

1:03:07

24 hours ago you were saying

1:03:09

that's what they were doing to you

1:03:11

now you're in power and now

1:03:13

you want to do the same thing

1:03:15

to them Oh No, it's it's

1:03:17

the exact same thing in the the

1:03:19

left before Trump got elected was

1:03:21

saying it was gonna be a handmaid's

1:03:23

tale You know scenario it's gonna

1:03:25

be a Gilead or whatever it was

1:03:27

called in that show but Some

1:03:29

other thing that some of the things

1:03:32

that are coming out now. I'm

1:03:34

like They may not be

1:03:36

entirely wrong. It's not gonna be

1:03:38

that extreme, but There's some shit

1:03:40

going on that I'm like if

1:03:42

it was flipped the other way

1:03:44

And it was Kamala or Joe

1:03:46

Biden doing these same things the

1:03:48

same people that are championing it

1:03:50

would be Pissed and be out

1:03:52

in the streets holding signs like

1:03:54

the left is doing now. Yeah,

1:03:56

it's crazy There are very few

1:03:59

there's a Gerald Salente and I

1:04:02

don't even know how many people like probably count

1:04:04

them on one hand, but Ron Paul's still out

1:04:06

there. Salinte's still out there.

1:04:09

Judge Napolitano's still out there. Pointing

1:04:11

out the obvious, like, hey,

1:04:13

if you're going to arrest people

1:04:15

for protesting and not give

1:04:17

a reason, or if you're going

1:04:20

to say that the reason

1:04:22

is because they offended a foreign

1:04:24

country, or if you're going

1:04:26

to have plain officers

1:04:28

arrest a girl. while she's

1:04:31

going to Ramadan and her offense, according

1:04:33

to Marco Rubio, was writing a letter

1:04:35

asking the university to be more fair

1:04:37

and follow its own laws. And not

1:04:39

one time did she call for violence,

1:04:41

and that's the reason they revoked her

1:04:43

visa. And the other guy they arrested,

1:04:45

I think the first guy, Mumad,

1:04:48

the guy had his card and just said, I've got

1:04:50

a green card, his wife said, I got a green

1:04:52

card, I got the paperwork right here. And they didn't

1:04:54

physically rip it, but they essentially ripped it up and

1:04:56

said, now you don't. And they arrested him and took

1:04:58

him away. Like, yeah, that's exactly

1:05:00

what the political left said that they were

1:05:02

going to do. That's what I said

1:05:04

two years ago. I said this pendulum is

1:05:07

going to swing the other direction and

1:05:09

all the things you hate, you're going to

1:05:11

have to fight them equally or become

1:05:13

worse in order to defeat them. And that's

1:05:15

exactly what the MAGA movement has become. Yeah,

1:05:19

I don't even know what to say about

1:05:21

it anymore. When he first got in,

1:05:23

there was a lot of things that I'm like, oh,

1:05:25

that's good, that's good. But I'm

1:05:27

gonna have real fucking hesitant like

1:05:29

positivity about this because Let's wait till

1:05:31

the other shoe drops and then

1:05:34

all of a sudden these type of

1:05:36

things come come down and Like

1:05:38

I said the the same people

1:05:40

who'd be saying you know hate

1:05:42

speech is free speech a year ago

1:05:44

Yeah now because it's against a

1:05:46

certain group that they back. It's

1:05:48

not free speech anymore and you

1:05:50

can deport them. Yeah even though they're,

1:05:52

you know, and I don't know

1:05:54

if it's true or not, but

1:05:57

I did hear something about Trump

1:05:59

saying basically they're going to come for

1:06:01

the homegrown threats next, kind of

1:06:03

speaking towards anti -Semitism among citizens, like

1:06:05

actual American citizens. I

1:06:08

mean, this goes into like, Noa Hyde

1:06:10

type stuff, and I don't know how far

1:06:12

that will go, but it's crazy. What

1:06:14

I just put on the screen there is

1:06:16

the Department of Homeland Security run by

1:06:18

Kristi Noem, who is a zealot who has

1:06:20

a personal rabbi helping her to pass

1:06:22

laws in the state that have the least

1:06:24

number of Jews in the United States,

1:06:26

about four to 700 of them. The

1:06:29

point I think that is

1:06:31

missed is that, sure, you

1:06:33

can say it's about aliens,

1:06:35

social media activity, and

1:06:37

screening for anti -Semitism, which they've always done

1:06:40

through the ADL. And sure, you

1:06:42

can say, well, these are people

1:06:44

with green cards and visas and they

1:06:46

don't have rights. Actually, they do.

1:06:48

They do have rights and they have

1:06:50

visa holders and green card holders

1:06:52

have different levels of rights, but they

1:06:54

still have rights and they can

1:06:56

still exercise those rights as their permanent

1:06:59

residents as American residents. If

1:07:02

the just my point is,

1:07:04

if the justification is you

1:07:06

said something. that was considered

1:07:08

offensive to a foreign country

1:07:10

and that's the only thing

1:07:12

you did or you organized

1:07:14

a protest which is totally

1:07:16

legal and you did not

1:07:18

call for violence. If that's

1:07:20

the basis by which to

1:07:22

revoke a visa or revoke

1:07:24

your green card or to

1:07:26

deny a visa and that's

1:07:28

the only justification for it

1:07:30

then it's the proverbial slippery

1:07:32

slope because if that can

1:07:34

be applied to a non

1:07:36

-citizen it can be applied

1:07:39

to a citizen. It's

1:07:41

that simple. If that's the reason. Now, if these

1:07:43

people had said that I want to kill X

1:07:45

number of people and we're going to blow up

1:07:47

a school in a hospital, well, that's

1:07:49

one thing, but that's not what they did.

1:07:51

They organize protests, legal. They

1:07:53

express their opinions online, legal,

1:07:55

which many of the times

1:07:57

the opinions are things like free

1:07:59

Palestine. That's it. It's a

1:08:01

hashtag that loses you your visa,

1:08:04

which means that if you

1:08:06

can do that to residents, you

1:08:08

can do it to actual

1:08:10

citizens. And that's exactly

1:08:12

what we see all throughout history, the

1:08:15

justification to go after a certain

1:08:17

group of people. Hey, the Bush administration

1:08:19

did it too, right? We got

1:08:21

to go after the terrorists. And don't

1:08:23

worry, the giant blimps

1:08:25

that see 400 miles and the

1:08:27

drone strikes, that's all for

1:08:30

the terrorists. And

1:08:32

then it all comes

1:08:34

home to America, literally and

1:08:36

figuratively. We don't learn.

1:08:38

Yeah, I'm I'm a real

1:08:40

wary of using any, you

1:08:42

know specific terms like free

1:08:44

Palestine because that It's a

1:08:46

call I was talking about

1:08:48

earlier. Yeah, and it'll get

1:08:50

me pegged immediately by somebody who

1:08:53

doesn't know the broader context

1:08:55

of my views on things

1:08:57

as Oh, so you're a

1:08:59

libtard, you know Kamala supporting

1:09:01

whatever It's the craziest

1:09:03

thing. I put a couple memes up

1:09:05

on Instagram, which is probably our one

1:09:07

of our bigger followings on, you know,

1:09:09

social media or anything. And they I

1:09:11

put a couple like not really anti,

1:09:13

but just kind of criticizing Israel type

1:09:15

of thing up there. And I got

1:09:17

immediately, oh, we suck Biden's

1:09:19

dick or do and like, you

1:09:21

don't know me. Like what? How

1:09:23

does how does one thing equal

1:09:26

another? And that's exactly how it

1:09:28

is now. It's so polarized that

1:09:30

If not this, then that. If

1:09:33

not this, then it must be

1:09:35

that. And there's no room for nuance

1:09:37

or a conversation in between. And

1:09:39

it sucks because that's how social media

1:09:41

is set up, is to do

1:09:43

that. So if you were to talk to

1:09:45

these same people on the street and be like, well,

1:09:47

give me a second, let me

1:09:49

explain what I was talking about. We

1:09:52

could probably be friends and go grab a burger.

1:09:54

It'd be fine. but on the

1:09:56

on the world of the internet

1:09:58

and two -minute attention spans if that

1:10:00

and I'm gonna pound out a bunch

1:10:02

of stupid things to this guy

1:10:04

cuz fuck him and And then then

1:10:06

you go back and forth for

1:10:08

hours and I wake up to 300

1:10:10

notifications of somebody fighting with this

1:10:13

one dude all night long When I'm

1:10:15

like if you guys met in

1:10:17

real life, it probably would be a

1:10:19

lot different. This is This

1:10:21

is wild that we've come this far

1:10:23

as a species to be keyboard

1:10:25

warriors at three o 'clock in the

1:10:27

morning because you said people shouldn't commit

1:10:29

genocide. I don't I don't know

1:10:31

what to say. Yeah. And I had a listener

1:10:33

who's a they're a good person. I'm not going

1:10:35

to say their name. They'll know who they are,

1:10:37

of course. But I want to use an email

1:10:40

they sent me as an example. I'm not going

1:10:42

to read it either. I'm just going to ref

1:10:44

kind of reference it in my own head. What

1:10:47

someone had messaged me. And said

1:10:49

to me, this was over the

1:10:51

weekend. They said, I love

1:10:53

your show. I listened to you. They

1:10:56

might have even said, I don't always agree with you, but

1:10:58

I listen. And they said,

1:11:00

but you're anti -American or you're

1:11:02

always saying America's this or

1:11:04

that. It gets really annoying.

1:11:07

And they love America. And they said, I'm going to stop

1:11:09

listening if you keep doing that. And I'm

1:11:11

thinking anti -American. And I kind of looked

1:11:13

at the context of the date and

1:11:15

the recent shows. And they said,

1:11:17

you compare the U .S. to Japan

1:11:19

a lot. And I said,

1:11:22

back to them. I said,

1:11:24

well, yeah, because that's my

1:11:26

current experience. But also

1:11:28

for Americans who have never been

1:11:30

here or elsewhere, anywhere outside

1:11:33

the country, it's important to

1:11:35

note that it is possible

1:11:37

without Christianity, without

1:11:39

MAGA, without

1:11:41

MAHA, without conservatives

1:11:43

and liberals of the

1:11:45

American variety, without Trump,

1:11:48

without white people, without

1:11:50

Western civilization, you

1:11:52

can build a safe,

1:11:54

clean, functioning, efficient, highly

1:11:56

efficient society where there's

1:11:58

virtually no crime. And

1:12:00

that isn't, I hate America

1:12:03

because those used to be

1:12:05

qualities of America. I

1:12:07

hate the fact that they're

1:12:09

not anymore and that to point

1:12:11

that out means that you're anti

1:12:13

-American because that kind of like

1:12:15

with patriotism We

1:12:17

think patriotism is just

1:12:19

defending the government. Patriotism

1:12:21

is opposing the government

1:12:24

when they violate the most

1:12:26

basic fundamental laws of

1:12:28

nature and human rights. That's

1:12:31

Opposing the government is literally how

1:12:34

this happened. Yes, and you

1:12:36

see how quickly within a few

1:12:38

generations really, in context with history,

1:12:40

the Roman Empire was a thousand

1:12:42

plus years in existence in some

1:12:44

form or another. America is only

1:12:46

a couple hundred years old. Within

1:12:49

a couple of generations, we've

1:12:51

gone from elegance and respect and

1:12:53

honor to a society where

1:12:55

you can buy weed on every

1:12:57

corner of every street and

1:12:59

where every major city is overrun

1:13:01

with criminals and trash and

1:13:03

they've got cases of what they

1:13:05

call the bubonic plague in

1:13:07

San Francisco and in places like

1:13:09

Portland. And yeah, there are

1:13:11

nice places you can still find in

1:13:13

the US, you know, rural places and

1:13:15

of course, absolutely. But like

1:13:17

collectively overall as a society, American

1:13:20

culture has, from

1:13:22

my assessment, has collapsed because

1:13:24

you're not going to fix health

1:13:26

with mandates. It's a cultural

1:13:28

thing. You're not going to fix,

1:13:30

you know, education with mandates.

1:13:32

It's a cultural thing. It's a

1:13:34

familial thing and so many

1:13:36

other things. So my point to

1:13:39

expressing and explaining that is

1:13:41

we don't have much context for

1:13:43

the rest of the world.

1:13:45

And I know that because I'm

1:13:47

an American and my God, we

1:13:50

have been lied to

1:13:52

about virtually everything. It's

1:13:54

embarrassing and it's

1:13:56

astounding. I mean, last thing

1:13:58

I think I've said this on

1:14:01

show, like the questions my wife asks

1:14:03

me are just like they're embarrassing

1:14:05

questions. She'll say like, why are Americans

1:14:07

so fat? Why are Americans so

1:14:09

angry? Why does America smell like pee?

1:14:11

Why is there so much crime in America?

1:14:13

Why are people getting stabbed on trains? Why?

1:14:16

I showed her. I showed her one the

1:14:18

other day. Did you see the story of the

1:14:20

guy who molested a corpse in the subway

1:14:22

in New York? Yeah, I did

1:14:24

hear about that. Dude, what the fuck

1:14:26

is happening? Maybe

1:14:29

he was on bath salts. At least he

1:14:31

didn't eat the dude's face afterwards, I guess.

1:14:35

I mean, that is, uh, that's

1:14:38

like, I don't know, that's like, that's

1:14:40

what's worse than Weimar Germany. Every

1:14:42

day I read a story about the

1:14:44

New York subway, stabbings, people lit on

1:14:46

fire, people being raped, people being tortured,

1:14:48

dead bodies, people having sex with them.

1:14:51

It's like Jesus Christ. You

1:14:53

understand that the rest of

1:14:55

the world sees us as

1:14:57

that. And that's not a

1:14:59

good thing. So then you can start to

1:15:01

understand why maybe the rest the world hates

1:15:03

us. Yeah, here's

1:15:05

some real anti -American heresy. You won't

1:15:07

see that kind of thing in

1:15:10

Russia either No, you won't if you

1:15:12

want to compare apples to apples

1:15:14

white people to white people. I mean

1:15:16

They haven't figured out a lot

1:15:18

more than we do a you could

1:15:20

call them a lot more maybe

1:15:22

totalitarian but my brother lived in Russia

1:15:24

for a while and That none

1:15:26

of that stuff happens over there, right?

1:15:28

You know by and large not

1:15:30

not on the daily like it does

1:15:32

here I'd like

1:15:35

to know more about that. He

1:15:37

lived or lives over there? This

1:15:40

was quite a while ago, but

1:15:42

he lived in Moscow. Oh,

1:15:44

he lived in Moscow, okay. Yeah,

1:15:47

my sister is actually a missionary

1:15:49

in Ukraine or was. She's been

1:15:51

back for about a year now,

1:15:53

but she lived there for about

1:15:56

15 years and same thing. I

1:15:58

mean, Ukraine's a different animal sure,

1:16:00

but they It's

1:16:02

just such a different culture like you

1:16:04

don't hear about things like man wanted

1:16:06

after video shows and performing sex acts

1:16:08

on corpse on NYC subway like that's

1:16:10

not something you'd see over there typically

1:16:12

so No, no, no, no, you're right.

1:16:14

I've made that I've never been to

1:16:16

Russia I've always wanted to go to

1:16:18

Russia, but I've made that observation too

1:16:20

Yeah, and you notice that both sides

1:16:22

hate Russia Because the liberals

1:16:25

say well the Russians hacked into

1:16:27

the election or something like that

1:16:29

which was fake and false and

1:16:31

it's all Putin's fault But then

1:16:33

it's also Putin's fault because the

1:16:35

Ukraine war and liberals support that

1:16:37

Then the flip side the conservatives

1:16:39

I think many of which are

1:16:41

just old people that lived or

1:16:43

were highly influenced by the Cold

1:16:45

War generation and They hate Russia

1:16:47

just by default, but then they

1:16:49

also hate Russia because Russia is

1:16:52

a a political enemy and

1:16:54

a lot of that's left over from

1:16:56

the Cold War, but they are

1:16:58

like that neocon enemy image. They would

1:17:00

hold large parts of the Republican

1:17:02

Party together. We can all get together

1:17:04

and agree that we hate Putin,

1:17:06

and that becomes the identity. We

1:17:08

can all get together and agree that

1:17:10

we hate China, the

1:17:12

chai comms, because that's

1:17:14

our identity. Obviously you can't

1:17:16

do that to Israel, but you can...

1:17:18

if you're a liberal you can but they

1:17:21

don't even know why it's just it's colonialism

1:17:23

and it's white people. It's like that's not the

1:17:25

issue. I think this

1:17:27

is a problem across the board.

1:17:29

All of the problems that

1:17:31

we have are like largely and

1:17:33

in terms of conversing about

1:17:35

problems, I think completely manufactured. Most

1:17:38

of our issues are manufactured. Like

1:17:40

I saw, I'll give you another example. I saw a

1:17:42

commercial For something called a

1:17:44

better help is that that that

1:17:47

psychologist thing you can do online? Yeah,

1:17:50

and the woman is sitting and

1:17:52

it's a commercial but she's in

1:17:54

like a room Not nice bed.

1:17:56

It's probably a set or someone's

1:17:58

house I get that but like

1:18:00

the idea is your life is

1:18:02

so overwhelming You need to see

1:18:04

a therapist and I'm thinking this

1:18:06

is like a big thing in

1:18:08

America You know that like a

1:18:10

lot of other countries where maybe

1:18:12

they need some therapy But like

1:18:14

a lot of places in the

1:18:16

world don't have air conditioners don't

1:18:18

have washers and dryers don't have

1:18:20

the basic like foundational things that

1:18:22

we all as Americans. Not

1:18:25

only have and sometimes have more than one of

1:18:27

but we take for granted. And

1:18:29

you live in those conditions and you

1:18:31

need therapy and mental health days. It

1:18:33

kind of says something about our perceptions

1:18:35

of progress and how far we've

1:18:37

come technologically in this and that. If

1:18:40

people are suffering that badly

1:18:42

mentally. There's something missing. All

1:18:44

the drugs and alcohol and all

1:18:46

that comes into play too. There's

1:18:48

something missing from our society or

1:18:50

from people's lives. There's purpose. Purpose

1:18:52

is part of it. So

1:18:54

they find purpose in Trump or

1:18:56

Jesus or whatever the case is. Well,

1:18:59

it's what they call first

1:19:01

world problems. Somebody

1:19:04

cuts you off in traffic you

1:19:06

go ballistic and follow them and

1:19:08

then stab them because they I

1:19:10

mean it's so this kind of

1:19:12

comes back to what we were

1:19:14

talking about earlier with the the

1:19:17

victim mentality kind of not the

1:19:19

virtue signaling kind the the kind

1:19:21

that refuses to take responsibility for

1:19:23

Themselves and that's the worst kind

1:19:25

of victim mentality and I see

1:19:27

this all over the place personally

1:19:29

everywhere these it's I don't want

1:19:31

to blame the generation prior, but

1:19:34

it kind of is this weird

1:19:36

entitlement thing where they're owed everything.

1:19:38

And if they don't get that,

1:19:40

that means they're a victim of

1:19:42

not getting that. And the

1:19:44

worst part is if you call them out on being

1:19:46

a victim, then they're a victim again. They're a

1:19:48

victim again, yeah. Because... now you're

1:19:51

attacking them and oh, but I my

1:19:53

mental health and like you're talking about oh

1:19:55

I need I need better help because

1:19:57

I just had a rough day somebody cut

1:19:59

me off and I didn't get my

1:20:01

sandwich This is real like that sounds like

1:20:03

a parody, but it's not well I

1:20:05

thought yeah I know that road rage incidents

1:20:07

happen when people get stabbed But it

1:20:09

only took me two seconds to find a

1:20:11

bunch of articles where this stuff has

1:20:14

happened in the last 12 hours 13 hours

1:20:16

three people stabbed during road rage incident Jersey

1:20:19

Village. Okay, so I could see that. Yeah.

1:20:21

Well, I mean just the fact that you

1:20:23

know in a lot of the rest of

1:20:25

the world. guys are angry. This kind of

1:20:27

thing doesn't happen everywhere, but you can just

1:20:30

I type it man -stabbed road rage and

1:20:32

I'm getting like one, two, three, four, five.

1:20:34

There's tons of articles Los Angeles, California

1:20:36

and New Jersey. Places you'd expect

1:20:38

that to happen, but it's just

1:20:40

that common. People get that angry.

1:20:43

And there's that kind - I just pulled

1:20:45

that example out of my ass too. I

1:20:47

just mean the slightest inconvenience to an

1:20:49

American is I need to take a mental

1:20:51

health day. I have co -workers

1:20:53

like that at my job that

1:20:55

come in and they don't like the

1:20:57

delivery route they're put on and

1:20:59

it just ruins their whole day. The

1:21:02

entire day is gone now because

1:21:04

I didn't want to go to this

1:21:07

place today and now I have

1:21:09

to because it's my job and I'm

1:21:11

just gonna bitch about it and

1:21:13

then go try to go home early

1:21:15

and maybe you know Get my

1:21:17

online therapist Get him on the horn

1:21:19

because I just I can't deal

1:21:21

with it today That's real. That's I

1:21:23

mean, I know I live in

1:21:26

California But I also live in a

1:21:28

part of California that shouldn't be

1:21:30

like that and they are still and

1:21:32

it drives me fucking nuts It's

1:21:34

very Machiavellian. It's manipulative. It's self -centered.

1:21:36

It's part of the dark trite of

1:21:38

personality traits. It's part of the

1:21:40

signaling of virtuous victimhood, as I referenced

1:21:42

earlier from the University of, was

1:21:44

that British, the University of British

1:21:47

Columbia. It's part of that, though.

1:21:49

Yeah. Whatever the excuse

1:21:51

is, there's always got to be

1:21:53

somebody to blame. That's

1:21:55

the thing. It's a constant.

1:21:58

Finger -pointing game where there's no

1:22:00

self -responsibility. There's no I mean,

1:22:02

I I personally know somebody who

1:22:04

Ran over her glasses and

1:22:06

then this is the way she

1:22:09

phrased it the stupid scooter

1:22:11

Broke my glasses. Yes. Yes Do

1:22:13

you see that instant finger -pointing

1:22:15

of it wasn't me who

1:22:17

ran over my glasses with the

1:22:20

scooter the stupid scooter did

1:22:22

that? Yeah, it's mind -blowing and

1:22:24

if you call them out on

1:22:26

that Again, like I said

1:22:28

then they're why are you getting mad

1:22:30

at me? You know, it's I don't

1:22:33

I don't know how to deal with

1:22:35

that and it's all over the place

1:22:37

to varying degrees obviously, but at the

1:22:39

most extreme it's that exact thing and

1:22:41

There's a lot of reasons how do

1:22:43

we deal with that going forward a

1:22:45

lot of reasons for that I mean

1:22:47

part of it is has to do

1:22:50

with yeah, what what government does and

1:22:52

chooses to promote and codify if you

1:22:54

take social I

1:22:57

guess you could say social

1:22:59

decency or you kind of rewrite

1:23:01

the social contract and you

1:23:03

pump into schools as part of

1:23:05

the curriculum that, you know,

1:23:07

like math, science,

1:23:11

every the basic necessities that you

1:23:13

need a little bit of

1:23:15

at least that they don't matter.

1:23:17

And you can just graduate

1:23:19

without learning how to read and

1:23:21

graduate. Without learning how to

1:23:23

do basic math. I'm not talking

1:23:25

about calculus or physics. We're

1:23:27

talking about basic Fundamental math like

1:23:30

you need to know a

1:23:32

little bit of addition stress to

1:23:34

is racist That's recent to

1:23:36

that math is racist now. So

1:23:38

you can't even do two

1:23:40

plus two anymore Well, that's exactly

1:23:42

part of the indoctrination that's

1:23:44

pumped into schools and when you

1:23:46

have that mixed with social

1:23:48

media that pushes WAP and pushes

1:23:51

you know, people fighting at

1:23:53

Walmart and just the most

1:23:55

trashy stuff imaginable. And

1:23:57

here's an article from the state

1:23:59

of Oregon. Oregon again says, students don't

1:24:01

need to prove mastery of reading,

1:24:03

writing, or math to graduate, citing

1:24:05

harm to students of color, which goes back to

1:24:08

the racism thing you just mentioned. I

1:24:10

read a statistic that, mean,

1:24:12

I'll find it again here in real time. How

1:24:14

many, or how much, let's type this in,

1:24:16

how much of, how should

1:24:18

I write that? How much of the the

1:24:22

United States

1:24:24

is literate.

1:24:27

You type that in and there's like

1:24:29

an AI overview that probably comes up. Okay,

1:24:34

let's see, the world population review, US

1:24:36

Department of Education. All right, 79

1:24:38

% of US adults are considered

1:24:40

literate, which means that 21 % of

1:24:42

US adults are not literate. And

1:24:44

when you read it, read the

1:24:47

whole thing from the US Department

1:24:49

of Education, It actually

1:24:51

says that of the

1:24:53

79 % who are literate,

1:24:55

51 or 52%, it's about

1:24:57

half, cannot read or

1:24:59

write above a sixth grade

1:25:01

level. That means half

1:25:04

of the United States is unable

1:25:06

to read or write above a

1:25:08

sixth grade level. Now that doesn't

1:25:10

mean that everybody's stupid if you

1:25:12

can't do that because everybody on

1:25:14

planet Earth has a different skill

1:25:16

set. But that's

1:25:19

a pretty critical factor. If

1:25:21

you can't read or write, at the very

1:25:23

least read, at a higher than

1:25:25

a sixth grade level, which is like, I

1:25:28

think it's Diary of a Wimpy Kid,

1:25:30

was one of the sixth grade level

1:25:32

books. Okay, so if you can't read

1:25:34

the Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it's

1:25:37

no wonder things are the way that they

1:25:39

are in the US. And this

1:25:41

is, again, a cultural shift

1:25:43

that needs to happen. and

1:25:45

rather than shifting in the

1:25:47

positive direction, we're still swinging

1:25:49

in the negative and very

1:25:51

quickly, rapidly declining and deteriorating.

1:25:53

I don't really see that

1:25:55

there is much hope. I

1:25:58

see it as a full scale collapse on

1:26:00

all sides because the people that say that they're

1:26:02

fixing it are making it worse. It's not

1:26:04

making it better. I mean, that's what I think.

1:26:06

What do you think? Well,

1:26:08

yeah, the problem is that it's

1:26:10

so it's been so enabled to

1:26:12

have that kind of Outlook on

1:26:15

the world, I guess is that

1:26:17

everything that somebody else's fault that's

1:26:19

been enabled and instead of being

1:26:21

like well, what what did you

1:26:23

do to make sure this didn't

1:26:25

happen or What could you have

1:26:27

done differently? anything

1:26:29

to like kind of show

1:26:31

them some self -responsibility instead

1:26:33

it's Oh, wow, that's terrible.

1:26:35

You know what? You should go

1:26:38

to your therapist. Maybe he'll give

1:26:40

you a pill and then they

1:26:42

and go on with their day

1:26:44

and everything's fine until the next

1:26:46

person cuts them off in traffic.

1:26:48

And then it's I don't know.

1:26:51

I don't know. It's like you

1:26:53

said, it's a cultural thing. So

1:26:55

and it's so pervasive among American

1:26:57

culture now to do that, that

1:26:59

you're an asshole if you dare.

1:27:02

to call somebody out on their

1:27:04

bullshit and Oh They cut you

1:27:06

off and did they cut you

1:27:08

off or did you make a

1:27:10

wrong turn and their car was

1:27:12

there because you made a wrong

1:27:14

turn? This is how crazy it

1:27:16

gets The way that these like

1:27:18

you said Machiavellian type of personality

1:27:20

spin it is that if you

1:27:22

hear from their point of view,

1:27:24

it's This person cut me off

1:27:26

now. I'm having a terrible day If

1:27:29

you go back and look at

1:27:31

the traffic cam, it's actually them who

1:27:33

cut somebody else off and they

1:27:35

almost hit them This is just traffic

1:27:37

examples because I'm a driver but

1:27:39

It is it's the same thing where

1:27:41

you can actually if you look

1:27:43

at the other side of the story

1:27:45

Usually the person who's claiming victimhood

1:27:48

it actually is their fault and that's

1:27:50

why they're doing that Projections they

1:27:52

don't want they don't want to absorb

1:27:54

the responsibility for it. So they

1:27:56

exactly projected out and be like I'm

1:27:58

having a bad day because of

1:28:00

this person when really it all

1:28:02

started because you weren't paying attention.

1:28:04

You were on your phone or

1:28:06

something like and again, there's no

1:28:09

way you can Get through to

1:28:11

that because if you do You're

1:28:13

attacking me. I'm having a bad

1:28:15

day already and now you're making

1:28:17

it worse I Mean what do

1:28:19

you do with that? Well, it's

1:28:21

it's childhood. It's like chill. It's

1:28:23

childish behavior. Oh

1:28:26

100 % Yeah, it's what are you

1:28:28

for like this is what four -year -olds

1:28:30

do most people kind of outgrow that

1:28:32

but since we've enabled it for so

1:28:34

long and rewarded Exactly rewarded it. Yep

1:28:36

So how does yeah, and the question

1:28:38

is of course how does it get

1:28:40

fixed? Because we can sit here and

1:28:42

talk about this all night and people

1:28:44

say yeah, I agree with you and

1:28:46

it's a little echo chamber How do

1:28:48

you fix it and the answer is

1:28:50

you and I we don't have answers

1:28:52

to those questions I don't think the

1:28:54

audience has answers to those questions everybody

1:28:56

might have their opinion of how to

1:28:58

do it But these are fundamental things

1:29:00

that take, I mean, I

1:29:02

think it takes at least a generation

1:29:04

to build and it takes less

1:29:07

than a generation to tear down. You

1:29:09

watch a building get constructed and it

1:29:11

takes a long time and you can

1:29:14

take it down in a few seconds

1:29:16

with some properly placed charges or a

1:29:18

couple of planes that hit buildings over

1:29:20

there that knocked down buildings over there.

1:29:22

But you know what I mean? It's

1:29:27

not that having like a

1:29:29

very low literacy rate is

1:29:31

the thing that defines a

1:29:34

society But like if you

1:29:36

look at UNESCO and the

1:29:38

world atlas and others they

1:29:40

rank there are there are

1:29:42

195 countries in the world

1:29:44

The US ranks 125 in

1:29:46

literacy that means that the

1:29:48

there are I would I

1:29:51

think dozens of countries that

1:29:53

are not even developed

1:29:55

or industrial in any way,

1:29:57

shape or form, certainly not

1:29:59

Western, that literally can read

1:30:01

and write better than Americans

1:30:03

can. I mean, that

1:30:05

is especially when you think about like our

1:30:07

ancestors, like in the United States, we

1:30:10

hear that, you know, during the time

1:30:12

of Jefferson, during the time of

1:30:14

even Lincoln, like it wasn't as common

1:30:16

for people to know how to read or

1:30:18

write. And I mean,

1:30:20

people could do it, and eloquently so,

1:30:22

but it wasn't the mass majority of

1:30:24

the population, just like the American Revolution

1:30:26

3%, something like that. But I

1:30:28

was reading, because I'm reading a lot

1:30:30

of Japanese history, I was reading Japanese

1:30:32

history, the Edo period, which started 175,

1:30:35

176 years before the

1:30:37

American Revolution, 99 %

1:30:39

of the Japanese population across

1:30:41

all the prefectures or were

1:30:43

all the clan, what

1:30:46

they call them, clans

1:30:48

or, you know, the original

1:30:50

prefectures, 99 % of

1:30:52

people across all the prefectures could

1:30:54

read and write at an

1:30:57

efficient or proficient level. In fact,

1:30:59

in Japan, it was actually

1:31:01

women that pioneered literacy and writing.

1:31:04

Men were writing in Chinese, women

1:31:06

pioneered Hiragana and later became

1:31:08

Katakana, but Hiragana. It's

1:31:10

like, I just don't understand

1:31:12

how we can have a

1:31:14

country that is so poorly

1:31:17

educated And still, and maybe

1:31:19

this is the reason we

1:31:21

can, yell to the

1:31:23

rest of the world, we're number one.

1:31:25

We're better than all of you. We've

1:31:27

got the best. You can't have the

1:31:29

best if you're ranked in 125 in

1:31:31

reading and writing. You can't be the

1:31:33

best if you're ranked in the bottom

1:31:35

percentile of math and science. It's no

1:31:37

wonder Indians and Chinese and everybody else

1:31:39

just fucking destroy Americans when it comes

1:31:41

to these things. And then there is

1:31:44

actual legitimate racism from the conservatives, the

1:31:46

liberals are right when they're like, well,

1:31:48

we don't have any Americans that can

1:31:50

fucking read this captain underpants book. So

1:31:52

we need to bring in somebody who

1:31:54

can. You know, that's that's basically

1:31:56

what it is. We're going to have to

1:31:58

bring in the Indian that can read captain

1:32:00

underpants because Americans can't. The

1:32:02

liberals are a little bit correct about that. A

1:32:05

little bit correct, not entirely. When

1:32:07

you're talking about like, what do we do about

1:32:09

it? I think it's kind of a. Well,

1:32:12

I mean, I hope at least

1:32:14

it's a natural swing of the

1:32:16

pendulum. Like, we can only take

1:32:18

so much and either it's going

1:32:20

to get to a point where

1:32:22

the US just crumbles under the

1:32:24

weight of its own retardation. Or,

1:32:29

somebody starts figuring out, oh, we

1:32:31

need to change something real quick. We

1:32:33

need to start slapping people when they're stupid.

1:32:35

No, that wasn't my fault. That was your fault.

1:32:37

Backhand. And then you learn right then and

1:32:39

there how much you can say and what you

1:32:41

should say and what situation. I

1:32:44

think that's a big thing too. I can't

1:32:46

remember who said it. It's a famous quote, but

1:32:48

like they, the kids now are

1:32:50

growing up not getting punched in the

1:32:52

face. And that's kind of a problem

1:32:54

because all they have to do is

1:32:57

clap back a couple keystrokes on their

1:32:59

on their phone and feel good about

1:33:01

themselves. Meanwhile, if you

1:33:03

were to say that to a person

1:33:05

in real life, you'd get punched in the

1:33:07

fucking head and then maybe you'd think

1:33:09

twice before you ever said anything like that

1:33:11

again. Yeah, so I think that is

1:33:13

a big part of it and How do

1:33:16

you fix that the internet generation is

1:33:18

what it is and it's probably gonna be

1:33:20

like that for some time So I

1:33:22

think I tell me until the internet goes

1:33:24

down and people start interacting in real

1:33:26

life and punching each other in the face

1:33:28

again I don't I don't know well

1:33:30

remember the internet I mean, most of the

1:33:32

world has the internet and it's not

1:33:34

the same way and like with social media,

1:33:37

TikTok, it's not the same in China.

1:33:39

It's different in China. Social media is different

1:33:41

here in Japan. So there

1:33:43

is something distinct about social media

1:33:45

in the US and probably in

1:33:47

Europe too, but especially in the

1:33:49

US, which kind of tells

1:33:52

you there's an element of sabotage

1:33:54

in there somewhere. not exactly sure

1:33:56

where it is, but it's it's

1:33:58

in there somewhere. That's

1:34:00

a conspiracy, though. Yes,

1:34:02

it's a conspiracy, like

1:34:04

the fake Blue Origin hand. It's

1:34:07

a big conspiracy. I

1:34:09

don't know. I don't know if

1:34:11

it's if politics is the easiest low

1:34:13

hanging fruit. But politics

1:34:15

is a great example for many

1:34:17

different things. And if you look

1:34:20

at the political landscape, like

1:34:22

if you just Think about, you

1:34:24

know, Biden supposedly signed all these

1:34:26

documents with an auto pen, right? And

1:34:29

oh, he signed all those other pen.

1:34:31

That means that they're not even they're not

1:34:33

even They shouldn't even be approved or

1:34:35

they should just be overturned and then what

1:34:37

Trump does he doesn't sign with an

1:34:39

auto pen necessarily but he saw but he

1:34:42

still signs a bunch of executive orders

1:34:44

and I tell people if that's how you're

1:34:46

governing Then the next

1:34:48

president will just overturn those executive

1:34:50

orders with his own executive orders

1:34:52

or her executive orders and it's

1:34:54

not based on congressional debate or

1:34:56

like the passing or the enforcement

1:34:58

of laws in the courts It's

1:35:00

just basically he said she said

1:35:02

I'm gonna tell you to do

1:35:04

this order by decree next person's

1:35:06

gonna tell you something different exactly

1:35:08

and that's exactly what led to

1:35:11

the collapse of Rome where the

1:35:13

people said I give up I

1:35:15

don't care you make the decisions,

1:35:17

you save us, fuck the Senate.

1:35:19

And this is where the US currently is, except

1:35:21

Rome lasted a hell of a lot longer. Yeah,

1:35:26

and I mean, if you look at

1:35:28

the kind of the economic forecast that

1:35:30

there's a lot of people, and I

1:35:32

know you've mentioned Mike Adams before the

1:35:34

health ranger, and I've listened to him

1:35:36

for several years, and I respect some

1:35:38

of his views on some things. I

1:35:40

like his medical You

1:35:43

know food science type of stuff,

1:35:45

but it's he's real doom porny

1:35:47

when it comes to economics and

1:35:49

politics, but He's been going on

1:35:51

for some time talking about how

1:35:53

the dollar is going to go

1:35:55

to zero basically I Can't disagree

1:35:57

though. I'm not an economist, but

1:35:59

when you look at how much

1:36:01

they're printing and like you were

1:36:03

talking about earlier with the trillion

1:36:05

dollar military budget and All these

1:36:07

things I don't I don't see

1:36:09

how that much printing can can

1:36:11

do that, especially when they're making

1:36:13

cuts. He's talking about, you know,

1:36:15

abolishing the IRS, which I am

1:36:17

for. But like, what do

1:36:19

you see with the economic future of this?

1:36:21

Unless something I guess the only other

1:36:23

thing they could do is default on the

1:36:25

debt, which would be. I

1:36:27

mean, if that were

1:36:29

to happen, like what what do you see

1:36:32

happening after that? That's never happened

1:36:34

as far as I know, right? Well,

1:36:36

so if you were to look at the US

1:36:38

debt clock, the number of

1:36:41

digits on there are pretty scary. I'll bring

1:36:43

it up right now. It's

1:36:46

massive. The national debt

1:36:48

is 36 plus 36 .7

1:36:50

trillion dollars, which I cannot

1:36:52

conceive of. If I

1:36:54

have a couple of extra

1:36:56

20s in my wallet, I'm

1:36:59

happy. You know, I'm rich. Oh,

1:37:01

yeah. Right. You too, most of the listeners. it

1:37:03

when I find a quarter. Yeah. Oh,

1:37:05

I know. I found little one yen, one yen,

1:37:07

you know, one cent. Well, they're actually, they're

1:37:09

less than a cent, but one yen on the

1:37:11

ground over here, and I'm just picking them up

1:37:13

like, oh my God, this is great, couple

1:37:15

extra yen in my pocket. I

1:37:17

know that's, I'm sure most of our listeners feel the same

1:37:19

way. I mean, the question I think, looking

1:37:22

at this debt clock right now on the screen, can

1:37:24

you even fathom like

1:37:26

how much money that is,

1:37:28

$36 trillion? If

1:37:31

you - It's going up

1:37:33

by $100 ,000 every few

1:37:35

seconds. Yeah, the debt

1:37:37

clock actually has, if

1:37:40

you look at the various

1:37:42

different expenditures, how much

1:37:44

money's being spent per family, credit card,

1:37:46

look at this credit card debt. I

1:37:49

mean, look at the interest that's

1:37:51

being paid. This money never existed.

1:37:53

Look at this, $1 ,000 million

1:37:55

billion, $5 trillion of interest. I

1:37:57

don't even know what the time frame of

1:37:59

that is. That's $5 trillion that never existed. It's

1:38:02

just totally fictitious. So you

1:38:04

look at this, And

1:38:06

that's printed money. It's totally printed

1:38:09

money. You cannot. And they got

1:38:11

a doge clock on here. Now,

1:38:13

how much they've saved was that

1:38:15

1 ,000 million. They claim that

1:38:17

they've saved $333 billion. OK,

1:38:20

but again, look at how fast it goes

1:38:22

up. So I can't conceive of how much

1:38:24

money this is. I don't think anybody really

1:38:26

can. That's a lot of money. No,

1:38:29

even when you see the pictures

1:38:31

of like a million versus a

1:38:33

billion, you're like, wow, that's crazy.

1:38:35

And then they show a billion

1:38:38

versus a trillion. People have no

1:38:40

idea how much fucking money that

1:38:42

is. It's insane. 36 .7 times

1:38:44

that, which is, I can't

1:38:46

conceive of it. Even computer generated

1:38:48

images are not going to do

1:38:50

it justice. So if you

1:38:52

look at that amount of money and

1:38:54

then just the interest, $5 trillion of interest

1:38:56

that's being paid, First

1:38:59

you can't, I can't, maybe people

1:39:01

have these big, you know, minds and

1:39:03

they can imagine that much money.

1:39:05

But like we can't conceive of that

1:39:07

when we're talking about maybe, we're

1:39:09

happy if we see three digits. Really

1:39:12

happy if we see three digits on a check.

1:39:15

So you look at that and

1:39:17

there's a justification to a

1:39:19

lot of people, there's

1:39:21

a conspiracy about this, that we should

1:39:24

just reset the whole thing, right?

1:39:26

Remember the reset comes not the great

1:39:28

reset, but the financial reset before

1:39:30

the great reset Where I had all

1:39:32

these people messaging me telling me

1:39:34

Ryan you got to get behind the

1:39:37

reset man They're gonna delete all

1:39:39

the debt and they're gonna deposit money

1:39:41

into your account and don't the

1:39:43

white hats are on top of this

1:39:45

are in a sorrow That name

1:39:47

sounds familiar possibly the name just sorrow

1:39:50

and a sorrow. Yeah, it's like

1:39:52

a debt jubilee where everybody's

1:39:54

debts get wiped and it's I think

1:39:56

it was kind of connected to the Q

1:39:58

thing. That's why I out of it.

1:40:00

Yes, because I mean, but this was even

1:40:02

before Q. I was hearing about this

1:40:04

in 2012, 2013. Then the

1:40:06

Q thing did push it.

1:40:08

And then that I think

1:40:10

morphed into the great reset.

1:40:12

And then that morphed into

1:40:15

make America great, which I

1:40:17

know existed prior to this

1:40:19

in 2016. But what I'm

1:40:21

suggesting here is as I

1:40:23

said on my show the

1:40:25

other night about Bitcoin and

1:40:27

cryptocurrency Larry Fink the black

1:40:29

rock CEO Says that due

1:40:31

to tariffs. This is a

1:40:33

perfect time to drop the

1:40:35

US dollar and to replace

1:40:37

it with Bitcoin not crypto

1:40:39

Bitcoin Larry Fink wants Bitcoin

1:40:41

and Then I read that

1:40:43

there's an attorney who is

1:40:45

he's working with another famous

1:40:48

attorney suing the federal government

1:40:50

because the Department of

1:40:52

Homeland Security knew six years ago

1:40:54

who the founder of Bitcoin

1:40:56

was. It was more than one

1:40:58

person. They interviewed them, talked

1:41:00

to them, maybe made deals with them,

1:41:02

didn't arrest them and buried it and

1:41:04

never told the public who it was

1:41:06

despite the fact that the federal government

1:41:08

and the banks were saying this is

1:41:11

dangerous when you think that maybe they'd

1:41:13

wheel that person out in front of

1:41:15

the the world and say this person,

1:41:17

you know, is a threat to national

1:41:19

security and they'd publicly crucify them. Instead,

1:41:21

they kept it a secret. I was

1:41:23

reading that I'm thinking. So

1:41:25

Larry Fink wants Bitcoin and the

1:41:27

government knows who invented it. In

1:41:29

fact, the government probably invented it.

1:41:31

Like I don't think Zuckerberg made

1:41:33

Facebook. I think he's a he's

1:41:35

a he's a face. And

1:41:37

so they plant this idea 15

1:41:39

so years ago about a financial

1:41:41

jubilee reset that morphs into the

1:41:43

great reset. that morphs into, well,

1:41:45

now with Doge, we're going to

1:41:48

replace all these agencies. We're going

1:41:50

to use AI to do it.

1:41:52

And then here's Larry Fink kind

1:41:54

of orbiting like the Death Star

1:41:56

around the planet, saying, yes, we

1:41:58

want the Bitcoin. We want

1:42:00

Bitcoin. Now, just objectively, if

1:42:02

you were to read that story and I could pull it up for you

1:42:04

if you wanted to see it as a listener, that's

1:42:06

really concerning as a

1:42:08

crypto person, right? Because Larry

1:42:10

Fink's like your mortal

1:42:12

enemy. He's like, like,

1:42:15

a Sith Lord, you're

1:42:17

opposed to Larry Fink, right? He's like

1:42:19

the poster child next to Klaus Schwab

1:42:21

for the New World Order. And

1:42:23

he wants Bitcoin. So

1:42:26

maybe maybe maybe. OK, I'll objectively

1:42:28

say maybe it's like the 1913 banking

1:42:30

bill Federal Reserve Act. The bankers

1:42:33

said that they didn't want it. And

1:42:35

then people said, well, we want

1:42:37

it if the bankers don't want it.

1:42:39

So maybe he's saying, hey, I

1:42:41

want it. So people reject it. Maybe

1:42:43

that's what it is. I

1:42:46

don't know. But my point is to answer

1:42:48

your question, when you take all of that

1:42:50

into consideration, I think sooner

1:42:52

than later, we are going to see

1:42:54

a shift and it's going to

1:42:56

happen rapidly. And we are

1:42:58

going to move into

1:43:00

a more crypto digital based

1:43:02

system that will sort

1:43:05

of just happen. And

1:43:07

I think We're in the slow, probably, well,

1:43:09

it won't take four years. We're in the slow

1:43:11

process of, this isn't a prediction either. We're

1:43:13

in the slow process of this happening. And I'll

1:43:15

show you what I mean here on screen.

1:43:17

If I can, I just pulled this up right

1:43:19

now. If I click on, let's

1:43:22

see if I can go to, let's

1:43:24

go to my Spreaker page. I'll

1:43:26

show you this. If you're not watching

1:43:28

the video, you can watch it

1:43:30

if you're a subscriber, tstradio .info. I

1:43:32

have all the links on this show.

1:43:35

Can you spare a bit of coin?

1:43:37

I did that show on April

1:43:39

14th and here's the show description and

1:43:41

here's all the different links. So

1:43:43

there's a Wyoming based

1:43:46

bank that already has transferred

1:43:48

U .S. currency for the

1:43:50

first time in crypto,

1:43:52

something called stablecoin. There

1:43:54

is a bill in

1:43:56

Congress right now to apply

1:43:58

stablecoin as a form

1:44:01

of federal currency. And

1:44:03

Donald Trump has signed

1:44:05

multiple executive orders creating a

1:44:07

strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This

1:44:09

has all happened in the

1:44:11

last three months. So

1:44:13

I guess in other words,

1:44:15

going back to you,

1:44:17

Joe, and your question, I

1:44:20

think that it's already

1:44:22

happening. And I think cryptocurrency

1:44:24

was a con to

1:44:26

scam people into accepting the

1:44:28

proverbial mark of the

1:44:30

beast. And I don't think

1:44:32

that that is a

1:44:34

literal mark of the beast.

1:44:36

I mean, a figurative

1:44:38

mark of the beast. But

1:44:41

I think that's where we're

1:44:43

at. I think it's going to

1:44:45

happen now. It's already happening

1:44:47

right now. Joe, are

1:44:49

you still there? Yeah, I'm back.

1:44:51

Sorry. I have a child's bladder. I had to

1:44:53

go pee really bad. No, you were on a roll,

1:44:55

so I let you go. No problem. But I

1:44:58

was showing listeners here. I'll show

1:45:00

you on the screen. There's

1:45:02

a Wyoming bank that already

1:45:04

transferred the first U .S. digital

1:45:06

dollar just recently. Trump signed

1:45:08

multiple executive orders including a

1:45:10

strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital

1:45:12

asset stockpile. This is the

1:45:14

White House website. Okay,

1:45:16

so these are all

1:45:18

factual things and this is

1:45:21

already happening. And

1:45:23

to answer your question, my

1:45:25

point was it's not going

1:45:27

to happen. It's not a

1:45:29

prediction. It's already happened. We

1:45:32

are in the process of transitioning

1:45:34

to the new system, the

1:45:36

digital wallet. The real ID

1:45:38

also goes into effect in a couple of weeks.

1:45:41

It's already happening. There's no way to escape

1:45:43

it or to run away from it. It's

1:45:45

already happened. The pieces are in. Oh,

1:45:48

yeah. Like you said, it's probably been

1:45:50

happening for a long time. The slow

1:45:52

roll, the frog being boiled. We've

1:45:55

kind of been on a

1:45:57

de facto CBDC for a while

1:45:59

now. I can't remember the

1:46:01

last time I got paid at

1:46:03

my job and used cash

1:46:05

for anything. It's all zeros and

1:46:07

ones in a computer. Yes,

1:46:09

yes. It gets directly deposited. I

1:46:12

use it as a... Digital

1:46:16

currency I go to the store

1:46:18

and tap my card and boom

1:46:20

It's trading numbers across the internet.

1:46:22

That's all it is. It's not

1:46:24

money. It's not real, you know

1:46:26

Value or anything. It's just here's

1:46:28

how many units you got deposited

1:46:30

this week for the work you

1:46:33

did Go spend them and

1:46:35

transfer these units to everything else that

1:46:37

you need for the week or

1:46:39

whatever yet So it's not going to

1:46:41

be a real rough transition. I

1:46:43

don't think it's going to be kind

1:46:45

of smoother than people think but

1:46:47

I think it's going to come with

1:46:49

a couple caveats where if if

1:46:51

you're going to be taking part of

1:46:53

the the US CBDC the new

1:46:55

the new Currency or whatever it'll

1:46:57

probably come with a couple little

1:46:59

loopholes or Snags along the way where

1:47:01

oh if you will give you you

1:47:04

know five thousand free credits When we

1:47:06

switch over to this new system if

1:47:08

you do this this and this and

1:47:10

that's where I'm kind of worried about

1:47:12

because I'm like we're already in a

1:47:14

CBDC like it Yes, you can still

1:47:16

get physical cash that is worth nothing

1:47:19

out of the ATM if you so

1:47:21

desire to go buy you know 20

1:47:23

bucks worth of crack or whatever You

1:47:26

can do that anyway on Cash App. Most drug

1:47:28

dealers have Cash App. You don't even need Cash.

1:47:30

So we already have the digital

1:47:32

currency. Whatever they are

1:47:35

going to replace that with to

1:47:37

reset the system, I think

1:47:39

is going to come with a

1:47:41

couple, I don't know, terms

1:47:43

and conditions, I guess you could

1:47:45

say. And that's what I'm

1:47:47

looking out for right now. But I

1:47:49

guess we have to wait and see. I

1:47:53

think we should also add

1:47:55

that criticism of What I

1:47:57

just pointed out from the

1:47:59

pro Bitcoin people is usually

1:48:02

that Bitcoin is Bitcoin is

1:48:04

stable. It's decentralized and it's

1:48:06

private and like, yeah, kind

1:48:08

of, but government can also

1:48:10

track it and it's done

1:48:13

through pattern recognition and it's

1:48:15

done through AI and government

1:48:17

can also subpoena that information,

1:48:19

which has already been done

1:48:22

three years ago that was

1:48:24

done. Bitcoin

1:48:26

is perceptually safer

1:48:28

and perceptually more

1:48:30

private. But that gives

1:48:32

you the illusion, kind of

1:48:34

like credit cards, they're safer. And

1:48:37

the microchip in the credit card or the debit

1:48:39

card, it's safer. But then

1:48:41

you can just put a little scanner

1:48:43

on a gas pump and take everybody's

1:48:45

card as opposed to putting a $20

1:48:47

bill into the hands of the person

1:48:49

who works there, which if that gets

1:48:51

stolen, that's $20 stolen. Not everything

1:48:53

you have in your bank account. It's

1:48:55

not safer. It's the illusion of safe. It's

1:48:57

the illusion of security. It's

1:48:59

none of those things and Bitcoin

1:49:01

is not Bitcoin is not

1:49:04

private by any stretch of the

1:49:06

imagination. It's on a permanent

1:49:08

ledger that is shared by the

1:49:10

entire Bitcoin network. It's not. And

1:49:13

oh, no, it's encrypted or, you know,

1:49:15

Mineros encrypted or the I can't remember

1:49:17

the other ones, but. I

1:49:20

look at anything digital or

1:49:22

online as hackable at least at

1:49:24

some point. It's gonna be

1:49:26

hackable Especially with the the age

1:49:28

of I don't know how

1:49:30

much to believe of this We

1:49:32

actually had a guy on

1:49:34

the other day talking about crypto

1:49:37

and quantum computing but with

1:49:39

the quantum computers Supposed what they

1:49:41

call quantum computers if they

1:49:43

can basically You know unencrypt anything

1:49:45

Nothing's off the table anymore And

1:49:48

who's gonna be have first access

1:49:50

to something that can unencrypt anything The

1:49:52

people we don't want to have

1:49:54

that that's who's gonna have that's it.

1:49:56

That's the bottom line So I

1:49:58

don't trust any of it and none

1:50:01

of its private if you're if

1:50:03

you're buying You know drugs on Silk

1:50:05

Road with Bitcoin How did you

1:50:07

buy the Bitcoin? Probably with your debit

1:50:09

card. You didn't use cash. I

1:50:11

Imagine so there is a paper trail

1:50:13

or digital paper paper trail of

1:50:15

all of these transactions And

1:50:17

if you're smart enough and you know how

1:50:19

to work the zeros and ones in

1:50:21

the back end of a computer system, you

1:50:23

can find out who bought what when

1:50:25

where. So that's it. I don't

1:50:27

understand why people think any of this shit

1:50:29

is private. It's you know, it's private. You

1:50:31

know, it's private if they want to. This

1:50:33

is private. My little black

1:50:35

book, this little piece of the

1:50:37

booklet of paper. This is private. Someone could

1:50:39

steal it. Yes. If someone gets through my

1:50:41

front door and my bedroom door and then

1:50:44

finds this, yeah, they could steal it. Yes,

1:50:46

and my landmines and claymores. Yeah, they

1:50:48

get through all that then they could

1:50:50

then then you can have this book

1:50:53

when whatever is in it But if

1:50:55

I put this on the internet Then

1:50:57

anybody could access it, which is why

1:50:59

I never take. Oh, nobody has personal

1:51:01

notes on my computer I know the

1:51:03

tech people you can totally trust it.

1:51:05

No one's gonna look at your notepad

1:51:07

No one's gonna hack into your computer.

1:51:09

No one's gonna do no one's gonna

1:51:11

I just get so tired of the

1:51:13

the the perception

1:51:15

of progress, which is really

1:51:18

de -evolution and de -progress in many

1:51:20

ways, being sold to me as like

1:51:22

the next phase of human evolution.

1:51:24

It's not. In fact, I

1:51:26

asked my wife this the other day. I said,

1:51:28

why do these businesses in Japan want cash? Why

1:51:31

is cash so big? This is a

1:51:33

country that invented the QR code, and yet

1:51:35

they want cash all these places. And

1:51:37

she said, what do you mean? I said, well,

1:51:40

they prefer cash, right? And she said, yeah, most

1:51:42

people like cash. I said,

1:51:44

why? She said, convenient and

1:51:46

efficient. I said, oh,

1:51:48

interesting, because Americans think credit cards

1:51:50

are efficient. And

1:51:52

I said, so Japanese think cash is efficient.

1:51:54

She said, yeah, cash is much

1:51:57

more efficient than having a card. And

1:51:59

you don't have to pay fees when you

1:52:01

have cash. I thought, wow,

1:52:03

that's really interesting. So the country that's

1:52:05

known as like the tech capital of

1:52:07

the world prefers cash because it's more

1:52:09

efficient, which is totally contrary. to

1:52:11

the Western or American

1:52:13

view that cash is inefficient

1:52:16

and dirty. You know

1:52:18

what? Japanese money is not actually dirty. So

1:52:20

I don't know why American money is so dirty.

1:52:22

We can't even keep our money clean. That's

1:52:24

really sad. Really sad. Well, cash

1:52:26

is inefficient over here because these

1:52:28

same people we were talking about earlier

1:52:30

can't count. So it takes

1:52:32

a long time to count the change because

1:52:34

they don't know what they're doing. So

1:52:37

that would be inefficient there. But

1:52:39

that does make me think about

1:52:41

how much two to five percent

1:52:43

per transaction that the Visa or

1:52:45

MasterCard siphons off of every single

1:52:47

transaction. transaction, yeah. You know how much

1:52:49

fucking money they make? How much

1:52:51

cheaper would things be? And

1:52:53

how much money would we save if all of that

1:52:55

didn't exist? That's right. Something

1:52:57

to think about, but good luck because

1:52:59

it's convenient and efficient. Yeah, it's weird

1:53:01

because these companies that had the card

1:53:03

companies have convinced businesses that you'll get

1:53:06

more customers this way. So it'll add

1:53:08

up and it'll You know, you'll end

1:53:10

up making more money and it'll pay

1:53:12

off the fees and you'll still end

1:53:14

up with more money. And so they

1:53:16

get these businesses that will tell you

1:53:18

things like or they'll have little promotions

1:53:21

where if you use the app or

1:53:23

if you use the card, you know,

1:53:25

you get something extra or there's no

1:53:27

there's no, you know, there's some kind

1:53:29

of benefit to it. You get five

1:53:31

bucks off your next order of 50

1:53:33

bucks. But if you use cash, you

1:53:36

don't. So they got they got these

1:53:38

companies working for them. And

1:53:40

then promoting, you know, the usage

1:53:42

of the cards and the apps is

1:53:44

convenient and as it's better. But

1:53:47

if you think about just, you know,

1:53:49

like using cash, the very opposite thing is

1:53:51

true over here. A lot of places,

1:53:53

although apps are huge over here too, a

1:53:56

lot of places, if you pay in

1:53:58

cash, you get a discount. Why? And

1:54:00

there are some places in the US

1:54:02

where you have a discount to pay

1:54:04

with cash. Why? Because they don't have

1:54:06

to pay the card processing fees. which

1:54:08

is exactly what you just said. So

1:54:11

things become cheaper. So

1:54:13

the fact that we're using cards and

1:54:15

using the types of digital things

1:54:17

that we're using, that's another reason that

1:54:19

things, in terms of cost, go

1:54:21

through the roof and stay through the

1:54:23

roof because we're using inefficient and

1:54:25

costly ways of doing business. Cash

1:54:27

is more efficient. And you're also

1:54:29

totally right, Joe. If you can't count,

1:54:31

then I guess cash isn't really

1:54:33

going to be an option or a

1:54:36

little pocket full of a little.

1:54:38

Container full of change if you can't

1:54:40

count one five ten twenty five

1:54:42

That's gonna be a problem. It's much

1:54:44

easier to let the card companies

1:54:46

do it for you Well, and it's

1:54:48

not a not a suggestion or

1:54:50

an endorsement of this, but there are

1:54:52

so many ways when you got

1:54:54

a Retard 17 year old behind the

1:54:57

cash register You can make like

1:54:59

20 30 bucks easy just by telling

1:55:01

them. Oh, no, that's that was

1:55:03

my 20 I have You

1:55:05

have my 20 now. You owe me

1:55:07

the the 220s back. There's a whole like

1:55:09

I think it was on Bob's Burgers

1:55:11

great show, but he does that kind of

1:55:13

a scam and You do it so

1:55:15

fast that it leaves the cashier and kind

1:55:17

of like a stunned what just happened

1:55:20

And then they give it to you and

1:55:22

then they go wait a minute. I

1:55:24

Think I just lost 40 bucks. Yeah.

1:55:26

Yeah, but in today's Scenario if you're at

1:55:28

you know the the gas station and

1:55:30

there's a teenager trying to count your change

1:55:33

back You could easily make, you know,

1:55:35

20 bucks real quick and they would never

1:55:37

even know and their drawer would just

1:55:39

be short later and then they'd probably get

1:55:41

fired. But that's kind of, that's kind

1:55:43

of a, I thought for a sense, a

1:55:45

silly example, but that actually has happened

1:55:47

to me before. So it's not, not intentionally,

1:55:49

but that's actually happened to me a

1:55:51

lot more than a few dollars, but I

1:55:53

won't say any more than that. It

1:55:55

wasn't, I didn't realize it till later. Another,

1:55:59

I'll give you one other quick example, cultural

1:56:02

issues. a lot

1:56:04

of companies are shutting

1:56:06

down the, what

1:56:09

do they call them, the self

1:56:11

-checkouts. Because of

1:56:13

all the theft, right? Over

1:56:16

here, there are people that

1:56:18

sell things in their neighborhoods

1:56:20

or there's markets and places

1:56:22

that operate on the honor

1:56:24

system. So that's

1:56:26

a cultural thing. And

1:56:29

I don't care. Especially in Japan, honor.

1:56:31

That's a big thing. Honor is a

1:56:33

big thing, right? And Americans used

1:56:35

to have honor. So I don't hate

1:56:37

America. I hate that America isn't. Honorable

1:56:40

America or honorable anymore.

1:56:43

Let's bring back honor. Let's bring

1:56:45

back integrity. Let's bring back morality

1:56:47

in order to bring those things back. We

1:56:49

have to be responsible and we have to

1:56:51

be honest. And that's what I

1:56:53

try to promote on this show. And I'm

1:56:55

assuming that's kind of what you try to

1:56:57

promote on all of. Your shows on legit

1:56:59

that and have self responsibility and not pointing

1:57:01

the finger and not being a victim all

1:57:03

the time. Yeah That would be a good

1:57:05

start. I'd be a really

1:57:07

good start. Yeah, and that's again,

1:57:09

I can hope cultural issue There are

1:57:11

very few things that government officials

1:57:14

or laws are going to do to

1:57:16

enforce that, you know Especially because

1:57:18

laws have to be enforced Um,

1:57:20

so if you have, we have many laws

1:57:22

in the U S that are not enforced. And

1:57:24

if they were enforced, things might be better.

1:57:27

Like crime might be cleaned up and, you know,

1:57:29

open air drug use might be cleaned up,

1:57:31

but we just don't enforce the laws. So

1:57:33

there's a lot of ways that you can

1:57:35

sabotage a society. That's one of them. You just

1:57:37

don't enforce the laws that they have, you

1:57:39

know, make math and reading. irrelevant to

1:57:41

graduation, which I always thought did. When

1:57:43

Oregon, when Oregon said it hurts black

1:57:45

people, isn't that like saying blacks are

1:57:47

really dumb and don't just can't do

1:57:49

do stuff? Well, no,

1:57:51

that would be racist. You got

1:57:53

you got to flip it and say that.

1:57:56

Try to help them. Yeah.

1:58:00

Defund the police. That's another one. That's

1:58:02

another way. Great way to demoralize. Defund

1:58:04

the police. You know,

1:58:06

50 percent of police are like black

1:58:09

and Hispanic in the major cities. Defund

1:58:12

black people from good paint jobs.

1:58:14

Those ones are white supremacists, though. Those

1:58:16

ones don't count. Black white supremacists. Yeah.

1:58:19

Yeah. Yeah. I've heard that before. He didn't

1:58:21

know those exist. Hispanic whites. Yeah. I saw an

1:58:23

article about that once. The

1:58:25

Hispanic white supremacists. Yeah.

1:58:28

So, so stupid. It's like the

1:58:30

SNL skit or not. SNL is a...

1:58:32

Shit. What was that? The black

1:58:34

Ku Klux Klan guy. What was that?

1:58:36

Oh, Clayton Bigsby. Yeah, that was
