00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:12.439
You are listening to a Funds Media Network production. Hello

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.920
Wilderblades listeners, and welcome to episode fifty six. Today, I

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.399
have the pleasure of having Ryan McBeth on the show

4
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.879
as my guest. Ryan McBeth is a wild popular YouTuber,

5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:29.359
a United States military veteran, and a current member of

6
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:35.200
intelligence community. Ryan is very well known for explaining current events,

7
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:41.039
exposing conspiracies, and revealing some of the inner workings and

8
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:46.359
operations of military exercises. Ryan and I had an amazing conversation.

9
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.200
He's highly intelligent, very outspoken, and we had a lot

10
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.560
of fun on this show. You will hear a little

11
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.640
crinkling and whatnot in the beginning of the show, and

12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.880
that's just me on wrapping my cigar. As Ryan and

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.439
I both shared some cigars, had a great time, great conversation,

14
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.640
and I think that she'll really enjoy this episode. So

15
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:12.239
with that being said, let's begin, all right. So, mister

to you and said, hey, you need to reach out

19
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.680
to this guy by Curvin, who I think you know

20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.799
that you were just on his show this week, explained,

21
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.319
and he was basically like, yeah, he's he's a he's

22
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.159
a real guy. He's a he's an intel guy. He

23
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.920
knows the stuff and so as that great, and uh

24
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.920
that's when I reached out to you, and uh, you know,

25
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.200
I'm glad you responded so that that's very good of

26
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.560
you to do. So. I know you're really busy guy,

27
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.120
and you work hard, and I know that you know,

28
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.239
we don't want to dive too much into crazy details

29
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.560
like who you exactly serve with and all that, just

30
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:51.959
for the protection of others. I get it.

31
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:52.959
But I thought we.

32
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.760
Talked about your background a little bit and maybe even

33
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.519
bring up what's going on basically in the world now,

34
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.239
which is a crazy twenty twenty five to be quite honest.

35
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.239
Let me go ahead and cut this guy. I'm gonna

36
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:04.439
go ahead and share a cigar with you.

37
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.120
Oh fantastic. Yeah, I love these things.

38
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.159
I have got this guy right. Pretty good stuff. Yeah

39
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:18.360
it was a corona, Yes, sir, it's a La Roma

40
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.039
de Cuba de Cuba.

41
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.080
I think that's one of the Ashton cigars. Yeah it is.

42
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:32.360
Yeah, yep, good stuff. So Ryan, sir, specific start with this.

43
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.800
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna get into other topic later.

44
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.919
But how long were you in the military, because it's

45
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.159
your story's a little different than some other Intel guys

46
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.039
I talked to. I don't think you went directly into it.

47
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.840
Is that correct? You kind of fell into it later

48
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.159
or got gravitated.

49
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.000
I fell into it, So, I I mean, am I

50
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.479
an Intel guy? I don't know? The story I often

51
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:58.159
talk is, you know, I write the software twenty years infantry,

52
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.319
and while I was serving, I got a batch's a

53
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.599
Computer Science management. Later I got a master's in or

54
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.919
MSc and cybersecurity. And so I was like, when I

55
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.479
got out, I started working for Eccentric, specifically Center Federal Services,

56
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.840
doing well, doing C four I SR Command Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence,

57
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.759
fails for connaisance. We fine bag guys, right, and uh

58
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:31.960
so a lot of stuff is sitment cyber intelligence. You know,

59
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.960
Daddy al Batty calls his mom every Friday at three o'clock,

60
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.639
and all right, let's see Daddy al Batty is always

61
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.560
in this location. Then he goes to his favorite fallawful

62
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.919
house and all right, so we can hit him here

63
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.879
on the road when there's no cross traffic and we're

64
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.560
we're all right, we're one hundred meters away from the

65
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.759
school over here, so you want to use this kind

66
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.439
of muneation that's like beyond what I do. But you know,

67
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.240
you confirm our daddy, Oh Baddie is over here at

68
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.000
this house, you know, because he talks with his mom

69
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.639
every whatever where since you know, we know emails are

70
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.280
coming from this house. So that's how I kind of

71
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.080
get into it. And it's funny is that I have

72
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.759
I have people who you know, they go, oh, you're

73
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.040
on a real and tow guy, because you're not. You

74
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.240
never went to the school at Fornachuka. I'm like, look, once, uh,

75
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.160
Michael Jordan was being trash talk by Kobe Bryant. Yeah,

76
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.600
and Michael Jordan looked down on Kobe Bryant's wearing air

77
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.519
Jordan's and uh, Michael Jordan says Kobe Bryant, Man, how

78
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.199
do you got trash talk me when you're wearing my shoes? Right?

79
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.079
So that's kind of like you got trash talk.

80
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.199
They're using I software, right, They're literally using something that

81
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.639
you designed and put together and implemented and questioning you on.

82
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.839
That, and you know, and and there's uh, it is

83
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.079
kind of funny because I have enough well I don't

84
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.079
do targeting, weapon earing stuff like that. Like you know,

85
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.279
I find the people and you give that information to

86
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.920
your client and then your client does whatever. Well, then

87
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.560
sometimes you come back and get a pat on the

88
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.879
back like, hey, we got daddy old baddie. Thanks man,

89
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:07.279
got it.

90
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:09.240
So that's interesting.

91
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:16.120
Yeah, I mean I I enjoyed my time at Excentsure,

92
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.240
like I have. I have nothing bad to say about it. It

93
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.759
was it was literally like being in the military again

94
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.639
because you uh, In fact, we even have an alumni group,

95
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.199
like people who are at the Center and then leftic Center.

96
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.680
We have an alumni group that you know, we all

97
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.560
stay in touch with each other and stuff, and a

98
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.519
lot of it's like it's like being in the army

99
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.240
again in a lot of ways because like there was

100
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.519
no Extentia was like the first company I worked at

101
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.639
where there was no like I'm in it for me.

102
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.519
It was like, we're in it for the client, okay,

103
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.199
And if the client needed a pint of blood, one

104
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.680
of us would have opened up a vein, you know,

105
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.439
to give that client a pint of blood. Because it

106
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.160
was all about the client and at the end of

107
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.480
the day. It was all about the soldier, Like what

108
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.240
is the end user, you know, out what is the

109
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.480
end user's outcome going to be? And so we would

110
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.560
work really hard to get things right. That's actually another

111
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:18.920
reason why I get pissed off when people talk about

112
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.879
the military industrial complex, like we're a bunch of people

113
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.199
just taking money from the government and lighting our cigars

114
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.360
one hundred dollars bills. Like no, dude, we like freaking

115
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.199
work to make sure this, like to make sure the

116
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.399
soldier has what they need to be an effective soldier.

117
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.839
Like there's a lot of people who work for contracting

118
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:45.000
companies who they put their whole career focus toward, like

119
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.680
how can I make how can I protect America? How

120
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.319
can I make the lives of our soldier desier? You know,

121
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.720
And a lot of people don't understand that, but I mean,

122
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.399
I think it's it's necessary for some people because they

123
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.160
have to believe in conspiracy.

124
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.800
Well yeah, you know, of course, and we'll dive into

125
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.759
that later. But so something primarily you're focused on providing

126
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.000
the correct tools for the job that was reliable and

127
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.800
consistently able to be used out in the field.

128
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.319
Yeah, yeah, to find the bag and then there's I mean,

129
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.199
I am wearing this sweatshirt that says until because that's like,

130
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.079
that's like people they are gonna meet with this source

131
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.120
that's human intelligence, and that's useful. But well, you know,

132
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.360
one of the things that I've often said human intelligence

133
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.920
like we need to know, like we need to know, yeah,

134
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.079
ideal like why does intelligence exists? It exists? Because mean

135
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.680
to know who is doing what and why? Right now?

136
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.720
Who is doing what? It's actually usually fairly easy to

137
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.800
come up with, right, But the freaking why that's the

138
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:49.480
gold mine.

139
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.839
Like, all right, that's always that's always the question why.

140
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.399
Why are they doing the thing? And you know, in

141
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.279
some cases human intelligence can tell you the why. And

142
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.519
sometimes people lie. That's the other big thing. But you

143
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.600
know it doesn't lie your browser.

144
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.920
History patterns of behavior, right.

145
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.000
Oh, I get I get to ask you, hey, George,

146
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:14.600
do you watch pornography?

147
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.439
Right? And I can say yes, I could say no.

148
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.279
Or you can say no. And the next thing I

149
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.519
can say is can I look at your browser history?

150
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.000
Right? And then you're like, and you know.

151
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.959
Today our browsers and this this thing that we keep

152
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.679
in our pocket, this magic window, we tell our magic

153
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.360
light box. Things that we wouldn't even tell our spouse, true, right,

154
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.679
we ask it questions. We wouldn't even ask our spouse.

155
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.480
That's the real gold mine, right, that's where the real

156
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.960
information is. If I want to know who is doing

157
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.759
what and why, I even look at their computer and

158
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.120
I have a pretty good idea of what they're doing,

159
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.600
especially if they think it's secure.

160
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:55.559
Gotcha.

161
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.720
Yeah, So cyber intelligence is uh. I think it is

162
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.320
a age your component and figuring out what the bad

163
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:03.039
guys are doing.

164
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.759
Yeah. And most people don't know how to hide their

165
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:05.320
tracks either.

166
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.080
No, and you know, in all honesty, hiding tracks is

167
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.279
pretty difficult. Just in general, there is just so much

168
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.559
digital exhaust that that we don't know about. I mean,

169
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.960
did you do you remember hearing about the fitness trackers

170
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.240
that expose some of our bases. Yeah, yeah, it was

171
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:25.879
a couple of years back. It was like fit Bit

172
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:26.519
and Garment.

173
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.000
I remember the garment.

174
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.480
You know, if you're if your workout, if your Strava

175
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.919
is public, you know, people can see every day where

176
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.480
you're working out, what you're doing, and where are guys

177
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.200
gonna run. They're gonna run on the perimeter of the base, right,

178
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.840
because that's the longest distance. So all right, now we

179
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.600
have a matt. Now we know there's here's the perimeter

180
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.840
of the base, right, and you know things like that,

181
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.799
Like it is very difficult to turn that stuff. I

182
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.799
don't wanna say turn that stuff off, but you don't

183
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.639
even it's so ingreat in our usual life. I mean,

184
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.919
I think one of the biggest issues we have in

185
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.879
the military right now is signal. Well, it's like the

186
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:07.960
freaking signal app.

187
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.679
It's like these phones, like you said, very few people

188
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.080
ever do not have it on them. You know, it's

189
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.480
either on their nightstand right next to their bed, or

190
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.240
first thing they get up they have to check their

191
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.320
social media whatever, it's always in their pocket. It's tracking you.

192
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.759
You're literally leaving breadcrumbs of what you're doing and where

193
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.720
you're at at all times. And most people don't realize that, oh.

194
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.679
Absolutely, And you have that issue. And the other issue

195
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:38.000
you have is you look at something like signal. The

196
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:43.759
army runs on signal. There's guys, especially if you're an officer,

197
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.720
you might have five or six signal chats open. Right,

198
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.240
there's one signal chat to the platoon, one signal chat

199
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.679
for the company, one signal chat with the Tian command

200
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.000
or one signal chat with the S one shop. So

201
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.120
you have all these signal messages going and things fall

202
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.159
through the cracks, right like, hey, we have and now

203
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:06.200
it's really easy to like change things, say hey, formation

204
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.159
time is zero fifteen instead of zero five point thirty,

205
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.000
because now you can just send it out. It used

206
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.960
to be like, hey, you gotta go get the runner,

207
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.639
you gotta go to every All right, well, let's not

208
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:19.840
change the formation time. I can change the formation time

209
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.960
with a couple of presses a button. And I can't

210
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.720
even imagine what that's like now for soldiers staff to

211
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:33.440
be chained to this device that you're expected to answer

212
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.480
within seconds. When you get that you can't you can't.

213
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.919
Turn an excuse, You have no way to shut it down.

214
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.399
Yeah yeah, yeah. And I've actually been of the opinion

215
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:46.840
of the one of the things the Army needs to

216
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.399
do on the military in general maybe is uh, I

217
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.639
don't want to say band cell phones, but maybe create

218
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.600
a cell phone that works on a wireless mess network

219
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.600
that's us for soldiers. Okay, and you know, maybe it

220
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.360
doesn't have video capability, but now you have a messaging

221
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:11.600
system that maybe it does connect through GSM or through

222
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.000
whatever provider. Maybe it does connect through satellite or through

223
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.159
a mesh network, maybe just a monochrome screen, right like

224
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.960
a kindle, So it lasts a week without having to

225
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.240
charge it. Because now soldiers go to the box, they'll

226
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.159
go to NTC National Training Center at Fort Huam, California,

227
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.679
and they're told, don't bring your cell phone because that's

228
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.399
a that's a way for the adversary, for the OP

229
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.919
four to detect you. So then they don't. Either one

230
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.159
or two things happens. Either if they don't bring their

231
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.279
cell phone, and now they don't know how to operate,

232
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.159
right because it used to be like, let me contact

233
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.559
the S one. Pump up up up up up up right,

234
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.120
Or they do bring their cell phone, which is against

235
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.559
the rules, and they get detected by the enemy's systems,

236
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.080
by the OP four systems and they get blown up,

237
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.080
or and then they get in trouble, right because they

238
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.919
have their cell phone, or they don't bring their cell phone,

239
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.279
and some officers says, hey, how committed to bring your

240
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.600
cell phone? Yeah right, we're trying to get a hold

241
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.399
of you. Well, the rules, I don't bring all your

242
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.399
officer's supposed to have your phone on you. You got

243
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.919
to you gotta work within the rules without you Like,

244
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.759
so what do you do? Well, maybe have a separate

245
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:21.240
cell phone.

246
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.000
M Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

247
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.879
Yeah, that's a officer. Life is hard.

248
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.879
And question being though, since you kind of mentioned yeah,

249
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.240
basically communication after fingertips, do you think having too much

250
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.120
of it in the service has been kind of, uh,

251
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.039
kind of prohibits a few things, or has been kind

252
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.480
of a detriment to communication in general, being that it's

253
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.919
always accessible and you can never turn it off. Do

254
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.080
you think people just automatically have to feel they have

255
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.240
to communicate or just constantly be on their phone and

256
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.039
trying to message. Do you think that might be a problem.

257
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.879
It could be. I mean I think that that you

258
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:08.600
certainly have. You certainly have an environment where people today,

259
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.039
soldiers today, they've grown up with these things. They've grown

260
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:17.000
up with two devices, so they're probably more used to

261
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:22.240
having them around, so it's probably less of an issue.

262
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:27.480
But at the same time, like, are they able to

263
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:29.720
do something? Are they able to put that phone away

264
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:30.720
and do their job?

265
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.480
Right? That's kind of another thing too, right, that might

266
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.039
be a general thing. Yeah, distractions, right, and.

267
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.759
I've had people tell me that, like, there are soldiers

268
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:45.279
who can't read. And it's not they can't read as

269
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.039
in like you know, what, what does this word mean?

270
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:53.879
It's more like they can't read as in like they

271
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:59.200
they can't they can't take something and comprehend it if

272
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.519
it's in long gotcha. So you have people who can

273
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.320
read a street sign, but they have a lot of

274
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:10.679
trouble actually taking a look at like a long manual

275
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.960
to find the issue. Like that's just not something people do.

276
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.159
No, And they probably don't have the patients for it.

277
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.919
They're so used to instant short messages. You got you know,

278
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.759
you basically got the phone version of shorthand and emojis.

279
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.480
So yeah, yeah, I can totally see that. I really do. Well,

280
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:34.559
that's interesting. So so militarily wise or military wise, I mean,

281
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.440
do you think that we've improved over the years or

282
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.480
have we kind of fallen back? And if you don't

283
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:42.080
want to asker that screat, I just wonder from your perspective.

284
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.759
You know, I have family members, I've served my nephews

285
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.120
in the Marina.

286
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.600
I thinks that the average I think that soldiers today

287
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:57.679
are just as capable and willing and competent as soldiers

288
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:03.480
from twenty years ago. And at some point it is

289
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.759
the other the neat thing about like everything being a

290
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.159
volunteer service. At some point everybody thought that joining the

291
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.000
army would be a good idea. You know, I think

292
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.440
soldiers are just as good as they were. Things are

293
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.159
just different, you know, just the environment they grew up

294
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.519
in is different. Things are just different. And so I

295
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.399
wouldn't necessarily say they're better or worse, but I would

296
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:37.440
certainly say that that soldiers today they learned differently. They

297
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.360
grew up in a different environment. And you know, we

298
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:49.639
need to focus on the fact that as our society changes,

299
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.440
what we expect from our soldiers needs to remain the same,

300
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.480
but we need to go about it in a different ways.

301
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.639
I mean, I'm from the generation where you didn't get tattoos,

302
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.840
right Like, if you got a tattoo, like you were

303
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.000
kind of a badass, right Like, people didn't tend to

304
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:11.440
get tattoos. Soldiers would tend to get tattoos, but tattoos

305
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:16.960
weren't very acceptable in regular society. And then what happens

306
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.000
then tattoos start to become acceptable in society. Right you

307
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.039
see chefs with tattoos. So the military used to have

308
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.279
a policy that would say like, hey, you can't have

309
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.680
any tattoos that could show below a certain part of

310
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.559
the sleeve of the dress uniform, right, or you couldn't

311
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.160
have anything on your neck. And now some of that,

312
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.359
some of those policies have changed. And that doesn't mean

313
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:46.839
we're any weaker. It just means that, look, society moved

314
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.720
to a different view on tattoos. We need to reflect

315
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.720
what society feels about tattoos.

316
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.319
Right, Well, society evolves, so it's just it's just a

317
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.519
change in times, right.

318
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.119
Yeah, And if we don't evolve along with it, that

319
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.119
could be a problem virtue, Right, We're not going to

320
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.079
be able to find the recruits. So one of the

321
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.759
things I've talked about before, and I don't do drugs,

322
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.319
but I can tell you that I think we need

323
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.359
to figure out a way to allow our soldiers, allow

324
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.200
our servicemen to consume marijuana. If you want to take

325
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.240
a gum meat up your sleep, or you want to

326
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.119
smoke a plant because it makes you feel good, you know,

327
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.839
as long as you're fit for duty the next day

328
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.720
or you know, we'll figure it out, right, Like, all right,

329
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.359
you can't do it within twelve hours of plate operations

330
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:39.599
or whatever. But I think that things like marijuana use beards.

331
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:41.839
That's another thing. I think one third of all African

332
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.759
American men suffer from razor bumps and grown hairs. All right,

333
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.160
Why are we making them go get a shaving profile

334
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.160
every couple of months? Why? Because we have this idea

335
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.880
of what a soldier should look like. And you look

336
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.680
at European armies, you look at Ukraine. Those guys have beards.

337
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.599
They seem to be able to fight, and you know that.

338
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.559
You get the area. Well, what about make our weapons?

339
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.759
All right, well then you have to shave. Sorry, but

340
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.319
until that mottlement, let them have a freaking beard. Yeah,

341
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.519
you know, like there is We could probably solve recruiting

342
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:19.079
very quickly with just allowing beards and allowing soldiers to

343
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:23.640
partake in recreational marijuanas. If we just we can do

344
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.200
that tomorrow. We can do beards tomorrow. Marijuana might take longer,

345
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:28.000
but I.

346
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.680
Think that'll take longer. But I think you have a

347
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.640
point there. It's just figuring out how that would be

348
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.119
regulated and how they'd be able to use it. But

349
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.000
it does calm your nerves. It helps you sleep, There's

350
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.799
there's many benefits to it. And I agree with you

351
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.480
in whatich you're saying that, you know, we do have

352
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.119
to keep up with the times. Look, things have changed.

353
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.680
If if we're gonna stickers about little things such as beards,

354
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.599
and that's what's going to hold people back from serving,

355
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.519
you know, in the in the armed forces, that's just ridiculous.

356
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:55.599
It doesn't make them less capable of a human being

357
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.160
or a service person whatsoever. So I definitely agree with

358
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.319
you on that. It's anos like we're fo sing on

359
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:02.680
the wrong things, you know, and by doing so, we're

360
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.920
just making ourselves weaker because we're not allowing those who

361
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.200
want to participate and contribute what they have to offer

362
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.799
because they don't meet this you know criteria you got

363
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.640
to be clean shaven for example, right, just silly, It

364
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:15.440
doesn't make any sense.

365
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.079
And you look at Sikhs, you know, who have to

366
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.599
go and get a special dispensation right in order to

367
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.319
have in order to have a beard.

368
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.640
Well, it's their freaking culture, culture, part of their religion.

369
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.519
It's you know, hence also why they wear you know,

370
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.200
their their turban or head dress. I'm familiar because i've

371
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.720
I've hung out with a lot of both people in

372
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.079
India and who are Indian South Indians, North Indians, and

373
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:44.640
of course, you know Seeks in general, so I gotta

374
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.680
I definitely have a good grasp with that culture. Spent

375
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.880
many years providing services to them, you know, so, and

376
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.079
the Seeks are extremely patriotic here in America. So yeah,

377
00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.759
they I think they deserve a little respectespecially when they

378
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:02.799
serving in the military. You know, definitely, they definitely should

379
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:04.640
ease up a bit, you know, in terms of that.

380
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:10.319
So agreed, Let's let's move past military though, like, because

381
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.000
here's the thing. Okay, you're a challenging guy. You know

382
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.720
how to find information, You're good, you have a good

383
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:20.319
bullshit meter, and uh twenty twenty five really uh started

384
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:25.799
out with you know, well, definitely definitely shot out shout

385
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.319
out the shout out the gate really quick here, and

386
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.599
a lot of things happened. I mean, you know, I

387
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.359
don't know how else to say it, you know, try

388
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.599
not to use certain words, right.

389
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.240
But yeah, all right, you don't want to get to monetize.

390
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:42.839
Yeah, well whatever, So here's here's the thing we can address,

391
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:45.319
and I'll get your opinions. I'm not gonna hold you

392
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.880
to anything, by the way. Okay, so let's let's address

393
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.599
what your thoughts are, given your history and everything that

394
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.079
you've done, and you know your ability to basically find

395
00:21:55.160 --> 00:22:00.359
extracly you know, information and decipher it accurately. Uh, what

396
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:02.200
what is what has been your position to take on

397
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.359
what happened both in New Orleans and Las Vegas?

398
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:05.519
Uh?

399
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.519
Do you what do you think of that? And I

400
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.200
know there was some stuff that you had an opinion

401
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.440
on certain things regarding letters that that happened with you know,

402
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:15.279
Las Vegas, et cetera. And we'll get into that if

403
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.559
you're okay with it. But what what is your opinion

404
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.599
in general on those two separate incidents.

405
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.839
I think at some point we failed our soldiers, right,

406
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:30.279
at some point the safety system failed, and you have

407
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:38.000
two guys who have either been consuming ideology or maybe

408
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:44.200
had a traumatic brain injury. And I think that one

409
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:50.400
of the things we need to work on is allowing

410
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:55.240
mental health as as a as A as a need

411
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.960
to be able to let soldiers go see mental health, right,

412
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.359
like if some want something isn't feeling right, And just

413
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.200
because you don't have a physical injury doesn't mean that

414
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:09.640
you might not have a mental injury or something like

415
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:18.640
ct is it eat the thing the football people CT

416
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:26.079
and off chronic traumatic and sepalopathy and SEP that thing

417
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:31.960
that that people who play football CD. So you know,

418
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:36.880
if you have something like CTE, you know you've been injured,

419
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:42.000
but that injury isn't visible, And so all right, well

420
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.279
why haven't why haven't you gotten that looked at? Right?

421
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.599
Are you afraid that people are going to call you

422
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.319
weak for going to see mental health when you have

423
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.319
a genuine, honest, good injury, even if that injury isn't seen,

424
00:23:54.920 --> 00:24:00.720
you know, isn't visible. So I think that there there

425
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:05.079
is a non zero chance that some of the participants

426
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:09.079
in those events had some sort of CTE issue.

427
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.920
It's a possibility, I won't really.

428
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.279
And they they just didn't They just didn't get the

429
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:21.240
care that they needed. Now, there's also the possibility that

430
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.799
at least in the New Orleans case, where you had

431
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:29.160
a guy who just, uh, you know, life wasn't going

432
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.559
for him so well, and he finds another path and

433
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:38.519
he decides to go down that path and hurt people.

434
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.000
That's I mean, I don't know how you fix that

435
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.920
after they're gone, you know, it could be something as

436
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:52.079
simple as like you know, once you once you join

437
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:57.920
the military, like why why why aren't we checking up

438
00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:59.519
on our veterans? Right?

439
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.400
Yeah, agreed, Night. I do have a friend that brings

440
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.680
this up quite a bit because you know, he's in

441
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.720
and out of whatever the VA allows him to get

442
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:09.720
in terms of treatment. You know, he's at their mercy.

443
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:12.359
Really yeah, and there has always been a concern for

444
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:14.880
him and other people I know who's served. It's and

445
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.359
you're right, there's always that manly, macho and even if

446
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:20.119
you're not a man whatever, it's just that there's that

447
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.480
that level of like, I'm not a weak person. I'm

448
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.400
not going to go ahead and submit to getting you know,

449
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:28.440
care for for whatever's going on in my head. Right,

450
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:31.759
And you're I think your point about CTE is it's

451
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:35.720
a valid one because it's something that it's not not

452
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:39.200
detectable immediately. It just kind of comes on and there's

453
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.039
no real care for it. You just got to kind

454
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:43.680
of manage it and it gets progressively worse over time.

455
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.839
So I think it might be onto something there, and

456
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.640
that could have been the case as to why you know,

457
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:54.200
these people chose to do what they did, right New Orleans.

458
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:56.519
I don't know. Look, I'm not an expert in it.

459
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.359
I'm just I just know what I've read and based

460
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.079
on the information and release, one person you know, serves

461
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.160
in the military, US citizen and decides I'm gonna go

462
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:09.000
ahead and commit to Islam and to you know, just

463
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:12.359
extremism in general. Fine, but I'm not sure what would

464
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.920
cause that. As far as Lebrusburger go, I can't figure

465
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.279
that one out. Got got a career green beret, someone

466
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:20.680
who's still you know, serving, et cetera. I can't really

467
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:22.720
make sense of that one either. And I'm not gonna

468
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.519
I'm not gonna say what exactly happened because I can't,

469
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.359
you know, I really can't. But you know, so that

470
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.000
one's an interesting case. The thing is, I'm not gonna

471
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.480
put you on the spot and ask what you believe,

472
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:36.839
but I will ask you about the letters that that

473
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.799
were released, you know, like the two emails and then

474
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.240
the other one. What was your take on that. I mean,

475
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:44.400
it kind of just came out sudden, and to me,

476
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:46.400
it looked like it was almost written by three different people.

477
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.559
And kind of what you said about CTE might have

478
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:52.599
been a you know, a contributing factor to that, but

479
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:54.279
who knows what? What do you think of that? That?

480
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:58.079
It's it's a tough one. It's a tough one because

481
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:03.799
there's a lot of inconsistency. Now I'm actually I bringing news.

482
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.359
I'm actually digging deeper into that because I think I

483
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.160
using the email address, I actually think I found the

484
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:13.200
guy's phone number. This is kind of what I do. Interesting,

485
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:18.160
So I'm sorry, Yeah, and I'm gonna I need to

486
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.680
like cross all my eyes and dot all my te's.

487
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.680
I ain't kind of the The thing that kind of

488
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:27.400
upset me with the way that was handled was that

489
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:32.200
the people involved instead of you know, going to the FBI,

490
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:37.079
uh you you know, let's make a video and try

491
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.480
to make clicks, right as opposed to like that that's

492
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:46.200
a little I'm actually familiar with the person who broke

493
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:49.640
that story, and there was there's some issues with that

494
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:56.599
particular individual. I encounter that person before you're like, uh,

495
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.079
there was this video or this post this person made

496
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:04.240
about Fort Novasel. Now like oh, we don't have any

497
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.240
money to train our pilots at Fort Nova Cell. I

498
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.319
was like, dude, I'm going down to Fort Nova Cel

499
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:13.880
to make a video in two weeks and I like,

500
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.160
I heard any talk of the po wow and like,

501
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:23.000
so there's like I get why someone who didn't want

502
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:28.200
to take the COVID vaccine might be upset about about

503
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:31.720
their status in life, right or a set at the

504
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:35.319
military that told them go take this unproven vaccine. I

505
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:40.160
get that, But at the same time, like, don't try

506
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.319
to screw over other people who are still serving number

507
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:49.160
one and number two it freaking like, don't parent Russian propaganda.

508
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:55.319
R Like, it's it's just there's a there are a

509
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.480
lot of questions that need to be answered. I think

510
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:01.920
part of the part of the issue is that that

511
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.400
it's it's this, it's the source of the message, not51200:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.799



necessarily the nature of the message. That that's kind of51300:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.240



an issue. I think more digging needs to be done.51400:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.920



There's also some other issues, because like if if you51500:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.519



were a bad guy, let's say, if you if you're51600:29:21.519 --> 00:29:24.960



a bad guy, if you are running from the police,51700:29:27.359 --> 00:29:31.519



you probably shouldn't take a cyber truck, right, You probably51800:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.160



shouldn't leave something that makes a paper trail.51900:29:34.079 --> 00:29:38.000



Unless something's so freaking yeah, flashy and draw so much attention.52000:29:38.279 --> 00:29:39.680



I mean, why would you do it?52100:29:39.799 --> 00:29:43.559



Yeah, unless you wanted to have a paper trail, you know,52200:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.559



and because like in your mind, like this is the52300:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.279



only way this thing can get any attention is if52400:29:49.359 --> 00:29:55.559



I create an electronic trail, a breadcrumb trail. But like52500:29:55.640 --> 00:29:58.480



if you really were on the run from the police52600:29:58.559 --> 00:30:01.920



and they were trying to find you, you Yeah, and52700:30:02.519 --> 00:30:06.160



I'm not a counterintelligence guy, but like, if I wanted52800:30:06.200 --> 00:30:09.240



to disappear, I certainly wouldn't use a cyber truck to52900:30:09.279 --> 00:30:13.279



do it. No, right, agreed, unless I wanted to be tracked,53000:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.960



which kind of gets into another thing entirely.53100:30:17.480 --> 00:30:19.920



I'm I'm on the same path you are, right now,53200:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.319



I get where you're wrong with it. Yeah, why why53300:30:23.359 --> 00:30:27.079



would you leave such an obvious like you said, trailer breadcombs?53400:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.480



Why would you do that? It doesn't make sense, It doesn't.53500:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.759



And of course, without naming names, I know, you know,53600:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.599



we'll avoid certain names. I'm personally not afraid of any53700:30:35.599 --> 00:30:37.119



of them, to be quite honest, I can care less53800:30:37.119 --> 00:30:39.279



as long as there's facts and data behind it. But53900:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.160



you know, I just think that this was a case54000:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.759



of yes, the story shouldn't have been broken how it was.54100:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.480



It should have went to the to the authorities first.54200:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.519



You know, let's let them get their hands on that,54300:30:51.799 --> 00:30:54.920



let them see what's happening with it. But no, you know,54400:30:55.079 --> 00:30:58.359



it turned out to be a big media fiasco. Maybe54500:30:58.440 --> 00:31:00.240



it was all about likes and clicks or just to54600:31:00.279 --> 00:31:01.799



be hey, I got the breaking story. I got to54700:31:01.799 --> 00:31:04.039



get this out. I think it should have been vetted54800:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.359



more personally, because it's really hard to determine, you know,54900:31:07.880 --> 00:31:09.799



all the facts involved with that. It was just kind55000:31:09.839 --> 00:31:12.039



of a sudden oh, by the way, we found these55100:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.480



ideas that weren't burned and whatever. Oh and by the55200:31:14.519 --> 00:31:16.599



way this happened, and hey, look now we have these55300:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.000



messages out of nowhere. So there was definitely a lot55400:31:20.039 --> 00:31:22.640



more digging to do before, you know, they really broke55500:31:22.720 --> 00:31:24.319



that story. I think they could have just said, hey,55600:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.440



we found some communications that may have been, you know,55700:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.759



center related to Matthew Lubersberger. They could have done that,55800:31:32.880 --> 00:31:35.160



but they chose not to, and so I kind of55900:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.279



had an issue with that too. And it's also a56000:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.160



case of where, you know, let's say someone like yourself,56100:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.359



this is what you do for a living, and you're56200:31:43.400 --> 00:31:46.039



like questioning it and you get criticized for it, and56300:31:46.200 --> 00:31:49.400



it's only because maybe you know, the other said person56400:31:50.200 --> 00:31:52.640



just happens to be a more popular person in the56500:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.200



media space, and so somehow that person more credible, which56600:31:55.480 --> 00:31:58.160



happens a lot and doesn't really make much sense. So56700:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.480



I hate that too, and I don't think that's the56800:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.119



correct way for people to view that that situation either.56900:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.759



It's ridiculous personally, But I'm with you. I think more57000:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.400



digging has to be done. Is that something that you're57100:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.680



going to continue to do and eventually.57200:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.880



Oh yeah, yeah, I'm actually doing it right now. Cool.57300:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.200



I look forward to your assessment, to be quite honest,57400:32:18.359 --> 00:32:21.480



you know, I want an answer on it. It's just57500:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.680



really strange situation, it really is, and I think to57600:32:24.680 --> 00:32:28.319



many people are jumping to conclusions without having all the facts. Personally. Yeah,57700:32:29.039 --> 00:32:33.039



so no, there's that, but yeah, well, not much more57800:32:33.079 --> 00:32:34.079



to say on that until we know more.57900:32:34.160 --> 00:32:39.119



Right, Well, what do you think is going on? Well,58000:32:39.119 --> 00:32:39.920



I know you don't want to get.58100:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.559



Into politics, because that's that's not what most intel type58200:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.039



people do. You want to stay more neutral, and it's understandable,58300:32:46.160 --> 00:32:47.720



But how do you think how do you think moving58400:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.240



forward to twenty twenty five, where does America fit into58500:32:51.359 --> 00:32:54.759



the geopolitical space for the in the world right now,58600:32:55.880 --> 00:32:58.359



once Trump actually takes the reins, and I don't we58700:32:58.400 --> 00:32:59.880



don't have to talk about Trump and genteship, but just58800:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.799



just how everything might be approached and handled and how58900:33:02.839 --> 00:33:05.519



the world might see us moving forward. What do you59000:33:05.559 --> 00:33:06.119



think about that?59100:33:06.720 --> 00:33:10.039



So I think that that in a lot of ways,59200:33:10.119 --> 00:33:13.640



there's a new sheriff in town, okay, right. And I59300:33:13.839 --> 00:33:18.079



think that one of the things that President Trump has59400:33:19.000 --> 00:33:22.559



not not a lot of other other people have, is59500:33:23.559 --> 00:33:26.000



he certainly has his own way of doing things.59600:33:26.680 --> 00:33:27.519



Yes, he does.59700:33:28.640 --> 00:33:32.640



And and so you know what what you have now59800:33:33.240 --> 00:33:37.720



is a guy who, you know, world leaders who might59900:33:37.880 --> 00:33:44.079



be questioning how they're going to proceed with their their60000:33:44.160 --> 00:33:47.279



way of doing business because you have a guy who60100:33:47.400 --> 00:33:50.640



is a genuine, honest to god wild card, right exactly.60200:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.880



I think that that's going to be it's certainly going60300:33:53.960 --> 00:33:58.599



to be the case with Iran, where you know, for60400:33:58.880 --> 00:34:02.960



for the most part, what we've seen coming out of60500:34:03.000 --> 00:34:07.200



the current administration. Uh and you know we're recording this60600:34:07.319 --> 00:34:11.599



in January seventh, right, is it's it's almost like you60700:34:11.760 --> 00:34:14.960



do have a guy who's checked out, right, you have60800:34:15.039 --> 00:34:20.440



a guy who is he's made decisions that may not60900:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.719



have been the best decisions, one of which might have been,61000:34:24.400 --> 00:34:30.239



let's let's slow walk ammunition to Ukraine, right Like, let's, uh,61100:34:30.760 --> 00:34:38.079



let's let's only give Ukraine enough ammunition so they don't lose,61200:34:38.679 --> 00:34:41.960



but let's give them enough so that they lose slowly.61300:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.920



And that's that's probably not a good policy, right, Like61400:34:46.199 --> 00:34:48.760



we had started the war with like, hey, we're gonna61500:34:48.800 --> 00:34:52.639



give Ukraine anything they need in order to kick the61600:34:52.719 --> 00:34:56.360



Russians out, I think we would see a totally different61700:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.400



situation going on in Ukraine.61800:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.440



It would definitely a different outcome right now.61900:35:01.760 --> 00:35:04.400



For sure it would be. And there's no excuse I62000:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.400



think we have Look, we got plenty of F sixteen's62100:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.960



in the boneyard. We can refurbish those things. We have62200:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.400



so many options and ways to help Ukraine, and we62300:35:15.559 --> 00:35:19.280



sent I think it was around twenty and one Abrams62400:35:19.320 --> 00:35:25.320



tanks to Ukraine and like great, but that's it's not62500:35:25.480 --> 00:35:29.760



a lot, right like they and are are those tanks?62600:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.719



Are those tanks in particular even applicable to to modern62700:35:32.760 --> 00:35:35.239



war like in this war in it of itself, do62800:35:35.280 --> 00:35:35.719



you think.62900:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.960



Oh, it seems like it seems like what Ukraine is63000:35:40.119 --> 00:35:46.920



trying to do with with their with their forces. Is there,63100:35:47.039 --> 00:35:51.920



there's there. They're not using tanks to break through. Okay,63200:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.159



that's traditionally what you use a tank for. Find where63300:35:54.159 --> 00:35:57.440



the bad guys are, find the weak point, breakthrough with armor,63400:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.679



and then run havoc in the rear. Right, And it63500:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.199



doesn't seem like they're doing it that way, which is63600:36:04.239 --> 00:36:05.719



how we would do it. And there's a reason why,63700:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.079



because they don't have air support.63800:36:07.960 --> 00:36:08.280



Gotcha.63900:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.840



Now, Originally I had said that, you know, F sixteen's64000:36:12.239 --> 00:36:17.639



were necessary because F sixteens can fire the harm anti64100:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.920



radiation missile, and once you fire that harm anti radiation missile,64200:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.280



or once you once you start taking out Russian surface64300:36:25.320 --> 00:36:28.360



to air missiles, that forces the Russian people back, and64400:36:28.440 --> 00:36:33.159



then you can use jade ms against certain hard targets,64500:36:33.679 --> 00:36:40.000



and then you can use F sixteens for air superiority,64600:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.719



and that that kind of changes what you can do64700:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.320



on the ground with your tanks, right once you have64800:36:45.360 --> 00:36:49.440



their superiority. The reason this war has lasted so long64900:36:50.280 --> 00:36:55.159



is partially due to the fact that neither side has65000:36:55.280 --> 00:37:02.239



really gained air superiority. And that's a huge issue. And65100:37:02.559 --> 00:37:04.840



I think one of the things that that we might65200:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.559



have learned here and our rule was something to know65300:37:08.920 --> 00:37:12.800



or something to understand going forward, is that if you65400:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.239



don't have air superiority and this now includes space, you65500:37:17.280 --> 00:37:22.599



don't have air slash space superiority, you're gonna have long wars.65600:37:23.719 --> 00:37:27.159



You're gonna have wars to take a long freaking time. Yeah,65700:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.480



with that, and you know, if you're cool.65800:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.880



With that, you know, like, Okay, do you think it's65900:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.039



just been unnecessarily drawn out?66000:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.000



Definitely? And and it's this is one of those things66100:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.559



where it could have been a lot I'm gonna say66200:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.960



it could have been a lot shorter. I think that66300:37:48.679 --> 00:37:51.199



that if we had given Ukraine the stuff they needed66400:37:51.360 --> 00:37:54.559



when this this whole war started. Uh. You know, one66500:37:54.559 --> 00:37:57.320



of the things I said is we can't just send66600:37:57.480 --> 00:38:01.840



F sixteens to Ukraine, right, we can't just you know, like, oh,66700:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.920



let's send F sixteens to Ukraine. We can't send them there.66800:38:06.239 --> 00:38:09.679



It takes like a year long training course, we have66900:38:09.760 --> 00:38:11.880



to worry about maintainers. There's a lot of things we67000:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.239



have to do before we can give F sixteens to Ukraine.67100:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.079



But if we had started that process the day of67200:38:18.159 --> 00:38:21.360



the war started, we'd be in a different position.67300:38:21.639 --> 00:38:23.400



Do you think do you think that may be also67400:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.920



the concern of that of the NATO element in and67500:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.800



of self, the agreements there kind of was a contribute67600:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.800



factor to kind of holding back a bit in the beginning.67700:38:33.119 --> 00:38:36.639



Yeah, I mean so, I think when this whole thing67800:38:36.719 --> 00:38:40.320



first started, there are a lot of people who like,67900:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.519



they didn't want to upset Russia, right, right, Well, let's68000:38:43.559 --> 00:38:48.280



not let's not poke the bar, let's not yeah this68100:38:48.440 --> 00:38:52.079



could be yeah, let's not escalate. That's that's the one68200:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.760



damn word they kept using escalation. They did, we don't68300:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.519



want to escalate things. Well, Russia doesn't need our help68400:38:59.639 --> 00:39:05.480



with s escalating anything like they they do that naturally. Right,68500:39:05.760 --> 00:39:07.840



This is true. And I think one of the things68600:39:07.840 --> 00:39:13.480



that we discovered when Russia was or when Ukraine actually68700:39:14.280 --> 00:39:21.320



invaded Kursk was that Russia, I'm not saying they're a68800:39:21.360 --> 00:39:26.880



paper tiger, but they didn't strike back with nuclear weapons68900:39:27.000 --> 00:39:33.519



and using nuclear weapons in Kursk. That would be a69000:39:33.719 --> 00:39:38.159



reason for using nuclear weapons, right, It is a valid69100:39:38.360 --> 00:39:42.480



use case in the sense of all right, there is69200:39:42.719 --> 00:39:46.639



a there's a bad guy invading, we can drop a69300:39:46.719 --> 00:39:50.199



bomb here, and that would have stopped the invasion cold69400:39:50.719 --> 00:39:54.440



and I think that in some ways, Ukraine, I don't know,69500:39:54.719 --> 00:39:58.400



Ukraine Russia would have been I don't want to say69600:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.960



the word justified, but there would have been less blowback69700:40:03.000 --> 00:40:07.920



if Russia fired a nuclear weapon, a tactical nuclear weapon69800:40:08.079 --> 00:40:13.000



against invading Ukrainian forces, if they went into Kursk, then69900:40:13.039 --> 00:40:16.480



if they used it on Ukrainian soil. Now, of course,70000:40:16.559 --> 00:40:19.480



one of the disadvantage of that. Disadvantages of that is70100:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.639



you're using it on your own soil exactly, and the70200:40:22.760 --> 00:40:26.119



winds prevailing winds if they're going west or they're going east,70300:40:26.519 --> 00:40:28.519



that's a problem for you. If they're going west, that's70400:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.239



a problem for Europe. So Europe still would have been70500:40:31.639 --> 00:40:37.119



could have been very upset that they did that. However,70600:40:38.760 --> 00:40:41.920



they probably would have been. Honestly, that probably would have70700:40:41.960 --> 00:40:44.920



been the best way of justifying using a nuclear weapon,70800:40:44.960 --> 00:40:46.559



and it would have stopped the work hold.70900:40:47.159 --> 00:40:50.559



Right, it would have. But I'm going to lean more71000:40:50.599 --> 00:40:53.960



towards the side that they would have actually been affecting71100:40:54.000 --> 00:40:58.760



their own land and also probably engaging, you know, other71200:40:58.880 --> 00:41:01.400



nations that they didn't want to be engaged with at71300:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.960



that time. Yeah, and probably still they don't. But fast71400:41:05.039 --> 00:41:09.440



forward to their use of the hypersonic missile technologies, and71500:41:09.760 --> 00:41:12.400



they launched, they launched when they used one. They haven't71600:41:12.400 --> 00:41:15.440



done it again that I know of. Why do you71700:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.559



think they might be holding back on using those for example?71800:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.079



Well, I mean they're expensive. It's ten million dollars a missing.71900:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.440



Fair enough. Now, Like, look, when you're when you're Russia,72000:41:25.760 --> 00:41:31.039



you have you know your I think the budget, I72100:41:31.199 --> 00:41:33.199



want to say, it's like one hundred and twenty billion72200:41:33.280 --> 00:41:36.079



dollars a year, like one hundred and twenty eight billion year.72300:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.840



I think that's what their military budget is. You know,72400:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.159



our is eight hundred billion twenty six significantly like that,72500:41:43.280 --> 00:41:46.559



significantly different. Right. That's actually one of the reasons when72600:41:46.599 --> 00:41:50.440



people say, like, oh my god, what if Frusher goes nuclear? Like, dude,72700:41:51.079 --> 00:41:54.320



we spent eighty billion, it was fifty to fifty billion72800:41:54.360 --> 00:42:00.480



dollars a year on our nuclear program, right, and we72900:42:00.639 --> 00:42:03.159



have roughly the same amount of nuclear weapons as Russia.73000:42:04.679 --> 00:42:08.039



So what did that? You know, we spent fifty billion73100:42:08.039 --> 00:42:10.719



dollars a year and Russia was spending sixty six billion73200:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.559



on their entire army back in twenty twenty. Oh. You know,73300:42:17.679 --> 00:42:22.000



I think that I'm certain that there are some Russian73400:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.199



nuclear weapons that have been maintained, They have their tritium refilled.73500:42:25.320 --> 00:42:27.800



You know, they've gone through at least two and a73600:42:27.840 --> 00:42:30.679



half I think tritium cycles. Tritium is the booster that73700:42:30.760 --> 00:42:32.960



you use a nucular weapon that that decays kind of73800:42:33.079 --> 00:42:36.760



the same tritium that's in my gun sights, right, Russia,73900:42:37.519 --> 00:42:40.719



So you use that as a booster for the weapon.74000:42:40.800 --> 00:42:44.280



I mean, they've been through two tritium decay cycles. Tritiums74100:42:44.280 --> 00:42:48.760



are really expensive, so I could easily see Russia making74200:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.880



sure that they have a couple of working warheads, especially74300:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.760



on like their Bory class submarines, but their whole arsenal74400:42:55.960 --> 00:42:58.239



not a chance in hell that they have their whole74500:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.840



arsenal ready ran. One nuclear weapon might be too many.74600:43:02.079 --> 00:43:04.239



But I think this whole specter of oh my god,74700:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.239



what if Russia goes nuclear like? And I don't really74800:43:07.239 --> 00:43:08.639



see that as a real stick thing because if they74900:43:08.679 --> 00:43:09.920



were going to do that, Chris would have been the75000:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.599



place to do it, and they didn't. Gotcha, No, I75100:43:13.639 --> 00:43:15.800



think only we got off on a tangent somewhere.75200:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.760



Oh no, no, it's it's it's it's fine. I mean,75300:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.239



you're you're giving your opinion based on the facts and75400:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.079



data you know about this, and it's important to point75500:43:24.119 --> 00:43:26.719



that out. And it's interesting how you know, basically we75600:43:26.800 --> 00:43:29.800



spend more than Russia, but yet we have approximately the75700:43:29.840 --> 00:43:33.880



same amount of nuclear warheads or weapons, which is kind75800:43:33.920 --> 00:43:37.599



of telling it's crazy, right, Yeah, And of course, yeah,75900:43:37.719 --> 00:43:40.800



hypersonic missiles are expensive. And then Russia just just lost76000:43:40.880 --> 00:43:44.320



one of their major you know, income sources, right, They're76100:43:44.400 --> 00:43:46.440



no longer going to be supplying gas. They got cut76200:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.800



off there. I forgot where it's coming from now. Uh,76300:43:51.119 --> 00:43:53.559



but you know, a lot goes in the head sometimes76400:43:53.599 --> 00:43:56.960



it sometimes it just doesn't stick there. But I know76500:43:57.039 --> 00:43:58.840



that they lost that source of income now, right, So76600:43:58.920 --> 00:44:02.119



there's there's there's money off the table for continued funding76700:44:02.360 --> 00:44:08.159



from that side. Also for Russia. Interestingly though, relationship wise,76800:44:08.280 --> 00:44:12.159



what's okay your take? Almost going on in North Korea76900:44:12.239 --> 00:44:16.000



right now? How they just suddenly were a part of77000:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.599



supporting Russia. Now I kind of can understand the relationship77100:44:19.639 --> 00:44:24.079



with Russia North Korea, I get it. But that being said,77200:44:24.119 --> 00:44:29.760



they've been in the war in Ukraine and fast forward77300:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.960



here they are now allegedly testing their own hypersonic missiles, right,77400:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.440



They just launched one fell into the sea over there77500:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.840



on its way to Japan. But we don't even know77600:44:39.840 --> 00:44:42.800



if that's confirmed. I know they've been testing for since77700:44:43.079 --> 00:44:45.079



is it since twenty twenty or something like that. I77800:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.679



think they've been trying to test us for a while,77900:44:47.760 --> 00:44:49.880



but I don't know if they really have that technology.78000:44:50.480 --> 00:44:50.599



Now.78100:44:50.880 --> 00:44:52.920



Is a lot that you think attributed, possibly through the78200:44:53.239 --> 00:44:56.679



to the relationship they have with Russia currently. Do you78300:44:56.719 --> 00:44:59.480



think Russia's sharing technologies?78400:45:00.960 --> 00:45:03.760



Yeah, I think they have to, like that's that's something78500:45:03.840 --> 00:45:09.519



they absolutely have to do. And you know, the big78600:45:09.679 --> 00:45:12.800



issue with Russia, and people talk about how big Russia is.78700:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.119



They have all these troops, but they also kind of78800:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.559



don't gotcha. For the longest time, Russia had this deal78900:45:19.639 --> 00:45:24.480



with their population. The population said, listen, you can do79000:45:24.559 --> 00:45:28.480



whatever you want, have whatever wars you want, but don't79100:45:28.559 --> 00:45:31.880



touch our kids. It was the second you touched our kids,79200:45:31.960 --> 00:45:33.960



that's when we're going to have a revolution. And so79300:45:34.440 --> 00:45:36.840



as long as you don't touch the kids in Saint79400:45:36.840 --> 00:45:40.639



Petersburg and Moscow, then you don't have to worry about79500:45:40.960 --> 00:45:49.679



Russian people rebelling against you. Calling people up now. A79600:45:49.800 --> 00:45:55.039



couple of years ago in twenty twenty two in the summer,79700:45:56.039 --> 00:45:58.519



we had a general that Russia had a general mobilization,79800:45:59.639 --> 00:46:02.440



and that was when you add all those problems with79900:46:02.480 --> 00:46:06.559



people showing up and like, how do you they didn't80000:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.880



know they hadn't actually been to training because they had80100:46:10.880 --> 00:46:12.920



gotten a deferment, but they were still in the system80200:46:13.039 --> 00:46:15.800



that they had gone to training. Like that, that's when80300:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.840



you add all sorts of problems. So what Russia has80400:46:19.920 --> 00:46:24.920



tried to do is they've tried to just do volunteers,80500:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.840



just do an all volunteer army, Like, we're still going80600:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.199



to have conscripts, but these conscripts are going to be80700:46:30.280 --> 00:46:35.559



safely in the rear lince. And the issue is that80800:46:36.920 --> 00:46:41.400



they keep having to raise the bonuses and the pay80900:46:41.559 --> 00:46:46.440



for soldiers. So, now if you are a weapons manufacturing company,81000:46:46.559 --> 00:46:48.800



and Russia, I think like twenty percent of their economy81100:46:49.000 --> 00:46:54.480



or so is focused on making weapons. So if you're81200:46:54.840 --> 00:47:00.320



manufacturing weapons, now you have to outbid people who can81300:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.039



get more money by joining the army. So then the81400:47:04.239 --> 00:47:08.079



weapons manufacturers have to raise the wages, and so the81500:47:08.280 --> 00:47:10.400



army then has to raise the wages. So the weapons81600:47:10.480 --> 00:47:13.800



manufacturers raise the wages, and so now you have this81700:47:14.039 --> 00:47:21.840



kind of crazy situation where you have inflation going like crazy, right,81800:47:22.360 --> 00:47:29.039



because everybody has a job and everybody is making money81900:47:29.920 --> 00:47:35.559



and either in the army or in doing the doing82000:47:35.599 --> 00:47:40.280



the weapons manufacturing thing, and that creates inflation. So now82100:47:40.360 --> 00:47:45.400



you have essentially runaway inflation inside Russia, and now you're82200:47:45.440 --> 00:47:48.320



at a point where Russia literally can't stop the war82300:47:48.519 --> 00:47:51.280



because the second they do, there's going to be a82400:47:51.400 --> 00:47:55.159



huge freaking problem. And then that problem is like you're82500:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.280



gonna have a whole bunch of people unemployed, and that's82600:47:57.320 --> 00:47:59.519



how you end up getting the Cholchesky special.82700:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.519



Okay, So so you think they might be at the82800:48:03.519 --> 00:48:05.360



point that if they just suddenly stopped the sword, that82900:48:05.480 --> 00:48:09.800



it would just basically crash your economy or bring it83000:48:09.840 --> 00:48:10.280



to a halt.83100:48:11.760 --> 00:48:16.159



Look, you've just you've just trained about hundreds of thousands83200:48:16.199 --> 00:48:20.239



of people and how to use weapons systems, right, and83300:48:20.400 --> 00:48:24.199



now all those people are out of a job now. Granted,83400:48:24.360 --> 00:48:28.360



gun control is a little stricter in Russia than it83500:48:28.519 --> 00:48:33.599



is in the US, but men who want to start83600:48:33.679 --> 00:48:35.519



revolutions have always seemed to.83700:48:35.599 --> 00:48:37.840



Be able to find guns absolutely.83800:48:38.840 --> 00:48:41.599



And you know, you have a bunch of people who've83900:48:41.639 --> 00:48:44.639



been you know who get out of the army because84000:48:44.719 --> 00:48:47.199



the war has stopped and now they can't find a84100:48:47.320 --> 00:48:51.000



job anywhere. That's a recipe for absolute disaster.84200:48:51.760 --> 00:48:52.679



Yeah, agreed.84300:48:52.880 --> 00:48:57.480



So it's it's almost like Russia literally can't stop this war.84400:48:57.800 --> 00:48:59.320



They have to keep a gun. That's one of the84500:48:59.360 --> 00:49:02.039



reasons I I don't think President Trump was going to84600:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.400



a piece within twenty four hours, Like it's just not84700:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.239



it doesn't work for Putin. No, he's not going to84800:49:10.280 --> 00:49:11.280



be able to stay in power.84900:49:11.440 --> 00:49:14.079



And earlier, earlier though, we dropped out a bit, so85000:49:14.239 --> 00:49:16.880



I might have missed what you were saying about why85100:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.639



you felt they had to keep that relationship with North Korea.85200:49:21.079 --> 00:49:26.559



Yeah, so Russia they need men. They can't get soldiers85300:49:26.920 --> 00:49:32.559



from the general population through a general mobilization because the85400:49:32.599 --> 00:49:35.639



people in Saint Petersburg and Moscow won't like that. Okay, Right,85500:49:36.559 --> 00:49:40.119



there's been this deal that like hey, you know, do85600:49:40.199 --> 00:49:42.239



whatever you want, but don't take our kids. Take the85700:49:42.320 --> 00:49:43.559



other kids, don't take our kid.85800:49:43.840 --> 00:49:47.039



So basically they're relying on allies to help them bolter85900:49:47.159 --> 00:49:48.360



their forces at this point.86000:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.400



Absolutely, and so like hey, we're going to give you,86100:49:53.800 --> 00:49:55.920



We're going to give you weapon technology we're going to86200:49:55.960 --> 00:49:59.880



give you maybe nuclear technology you give us men? Got it?86300:50:00.800 --> 00:50:03.000



Why Why isn't China stepped in though? So there's there's86400:50:03.000 --> 00:50:05.320



supposed to be the one of the biggest allies to86500:50:05.519 --> 00:50:08.920



Russian but yet China's been quiet in supporting or even86600:50:09.599 --> 00:50:12.360



election to even step in and help Russia with their efforts.86700:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.639



Do you think that relationship might be slowly just disintegrating,86800:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.519



like maybe they're just getting away from each other.86900:50:18.039 --> 00:50:20.360



I think that that China's always gotta do it's best87000:50:20.400 --> 00:50:25.039



for China, and it's just it's not you know, actually87100:50:25.239 --> 00:50:29.840



fighting in in Ukraine just isn't what's best for China87200:50:31.519 --> 00:50:34.719



because I think that would you know, China wants to87300:50:34.840 --> 00:50:39.480



sell uh cheap, cheap consumer products to everybody in the world,87400:50:39.800 --> 00:50:43.719



right yep, But we don't necessarily need to buy those products,87500:50:43.840 --> 00:50:46.920



right Like if if Tomorrow is actually part of my87600:50:47.000 --> 00:50:51.119



book The Wind Machine, you know, if tomorrow China stopped87700:50:51.199 --> 00:50:55.400



selling cheap toasters, right or cheap alarm clocks, someone would87800:50:55.400 --> 00:50:57.880



step in to fill that void. Might be South America,87900:50:58.000 --> 00:51:01.679



might be Mexico. We would certainly figure out a way88000:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.480



to use cheap labor to manufacture stuff. Again, Yeah, that88100:51:07.519 --> 00:51:12.320



would that would happen, and it would almost definitely happen88200:51:12.639 --> 00:51:16.280



sooner if China decided to put boots on the ground88300:51:16.400 --> 00:51:20.960



and actually go fight in Ukraine, you know, in other ways,88400:51:21.079 --> 00:51:23.800



like it makes more sense to have a weak Russia88500:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.599



for China because they're getting a hell of a deal88600:51:27.679 --> 00:51:33.679



on oil right now, right like seriously, right like like88700:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.079



why should we go help? China doesn't want this war88800:51:37.199 --> 00:51:41.760



to end because you know, the second this war ends,88900:51:41.840 --> 00:51:44.039



my god, one of two things gonna happen. If the89000:51:44.119 --> 00:51:48.440



war ends and uh and Putin is still in charge,89100:51:50.599 --> 00:51:54.360



there is a non zero chance that they might start89200:51:54.519 --> 00:51:57.239



selling oil to other countries. And now the price of89300:51:57.280 --> 00:52:04.639



oil goes up. And if Putin loses and Russia either89400:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.880



fractures into a bunch of warlord states, which is you know,89500:52:08.960 --> 00:52:12.119



that's certainly a non zero possibility that Russia could fracture89600:52:12.159 --> 00:52:16.880



into a bunch of warlord states, then they lose their89700:52:16.920 --> 00:52:21.239



oil as well. So it's actually best for China to89800:52:21.440 --> 00:52:23.920



just kind of keep this war going on as long89900:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.760



as humanly possible because they get cheap oil out of it,90000:52:29.159 --> 00:52:31.360



all right, So why would they want this war to end?90100:52:31.840 --> 00:52:34.400



I can see that, like they look they could have.90200:52:34.599 --> 00:52:39.000



They could have they when the Huthis were shooting missiles90300:52:39.039 --> 00:52:42.440



in the Red Sea, China could have sent ships there90400:52:43.679 --> 00:52:48.760



and got experience in actually shooting down missiles because they're90500:52:48.760 --> 00:52:50.320



gonna need that for when they invade.90600:52:50.079 --> 00:52:53.000



Taiwan is going to go eventually.90700:52:53.119 --> 00:52:56.360



But I would saying, look, you know, they're essentially farming90800:52:56.559 --> 00:53:02.519



XP right. You know, when when are when our forces90900:53:02.719 --> 00:53:06.239



were in in the Red Sea, when the US is Carney,91000:53:07.199 --> 00:53:10.360



you know, the largest distributor of Iranian drone parts in91100:53:10.400 --> 00:53:13.960



the world, the US is Carney rolled into the Red Sea.91200:53:14.519 --> 00:53:16.559



I think they had I want to say, fifty six91300:53:16.679 --> 00:53:20.760



fifty fifty six engagements. They went fifty six and zero, right,91400:53:22.320 --> 00:53:27.000



says Carney. And those people are incredible, those sailors. You know,91500:53:27.639 --> 00:53:29.960



if I ever meet someone from the US's Carney, They're91600:53:30.000 --> 00:53:33.719



never gonna have to buy a drink. And I'm serious.91700:53:34.000 --> 00:53:38.800



They did an incredible job. And what we what we91800:53:39.079 --> 00:53:43.760



learned from from that environment where these are shooting missiles91900:53:43.800 --> 00:53:45.280



at US and we're shooting them down, we learned a92000:53:45.360 --> 00:53:49.719



lot about ages about how our missiles function. We got92100:53:49.760 --> 00:53:52.440



a lot of telemetry, a lot of data on all92200:53:52.480 --> 00:53:58.119



this stuff. And you know, trying kind of could have92300:53:58.400 --> 00:54:02.000



sent a couple of destroyers there helped out with the mission. Yeah,92400:54:02.039 --> 00:54:04.880



they have ships there for doing anti piracy stuff, right,92500:54:05.960 --> 00:54:08.559



so why didn't they do that? Well, I mean it92600:54:08.679 --> 00:54:12.400



could be that they were afraid their missiles wouldn't work92700:54:12.440 --> 00:54:15.360



and they wouldn't want us to see that. So that92800:54:15.480 --> 00:54:20.159



might be possibly one thing, yeah, right. Another thing might92900:54:20.239 --> 00:54:26.800



be that they wanted chaos in that area, that particular93000:54:26.880 --> 00:54:32.440



part of the world because somehow that benefits China. You know,93100:54:32.480 --> 00:54:35.480



there's there's quite a few reasons why they might not93200:54:35.559 --> 00:54:40.440



have wanted to participate and that, and you know, you93300:54:40.559 --> 00:54:43.000



could say the same for Ukraine. China could send troops93400:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.639



over to Ukraine and farm Xpe learn how to fight.93500:54:45.679 --> 00:54:49.440



They haven't fought the wars as they fought oh boy, Vietnam,93600:54:50.119 --> 00:54:54.599



and I think that was in seventy nine, maybe seventy seven,93700:54:54.679 --> 00:54:56.199



seventy nine, I think.93800:54:56.800 --> 00:54:58.519



So it's really been a long time since they've ever93900:54:58.639 --> 00:54:59.480



really been tested.94000:55:00.760 --> 00:55:04.480



There is nobody I doubt there's anybody left in the94100:55:04.559 --> 00:55:12.400



Chinese military who was on active duty when China invaded Vietnam, Right,94200:55:12.480 --> 00:55:16.559



so they essentially have no more experience. I ranted for94300:55:16.760 --> 00:55:21.920



us all the guys we served around the Global War94400:55:21.960 --> 00:55:27.480



on Terror or either you know, high ranking sergeants, high94500:55:27.519 --> 00:55:32.400



ranking NCOs or high ranking officers, those lieutenants and captains.94600:55:32.480 --> 00:55:35.840



They've been promoted since then. You know, the war was94700:55:36.280 --> 00:55:41.480



God twenty three, my God, twenty four years ago. I'm94800:55:41.519 --> 00:55:42.360



almost fifty.94900:55:43.159 --> 00:55:44.679



Me too, I'm forty nine.95000:55:44.880 --> 00:55:47.400



Like it's kind of crazy, I'm forty nine.95100:55:48.079 --> 00:55:51.400



It's crazy to look back at things like, man, hey,95200:55:51.440 --> 00:55:52.239



you know, we were.95300:55:52.199 --> 00:55:57.760



In Afghanistan for so long that someone who was born95400:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.920



on the day of the terrorists acts could have actually95500:56:02.039 --> 00:56:03.199



been in Afghanistan.95600:56:03.719 --> 00:56:07.880



Yeah, you know, you know that's a crazy.95700:56:08.000 --> 00:56:11.239



Guy who was serving in Afghanistan could have had a95800:56:11.400 --> 00:56:16.480



kid who joined the army and ended up serving in Afghanistan, right, Yeah, yeah,95900:56:16.639 --> 00:56:18.440



Like that's kind of crazy when you think about it,96000:56:18.599 --> 00:56:22.320



like the war lasted that long, but all those people,96100:56:22.599 --> 00:56:25.639



you know, at least we have some data right on96200:56:25.760 --> 00:56:28.800



how we perform in combat, even though we don't have96300:56:29.239 --> 00:56:33.159



those those soldiers anymore, you know, in we don't have96400:56:33.239 --> 00:56:36.440



low lower ranking soldiers of combat experience and also anything96500:56:36.480 --> 00:56:39.000



about it, we have the wrong kind of combat experience96600:56:39.000 --> 00:56:42.360



because that was coined, that was counterinsurgency, and now it's96700:56:42.400 --> 00:56:46.079



all list scale or large scale combat operations. So now96800:56:46.119 --> 00:56:50.840



anybody who's remaining in the military has the right experience96900:56:50.960 --> 00:56:53.119



for the wrong war, and that could be just as97000:56:53.159 --> 00:56:55.800



detrimental as not having any experience at all, but at97100:56:55.880 --> 00:56:58.840



least well positive or negative however you want to view it.97200:56:59.199 --> 00:57:03.960



You know, the American forces have been tested pretty consistently97300:57:04.400 --> 00:57:06.960



throughout the years. I think we kind of know what97400:57:07.000 --> 00:57:08.960



we're doing in in the you know, for the most97500:57:09.239 --> 00:57:12.320



most part, we're not perfect, but you know, we are97600:57:12.719 --> 00:57:15.800



pretty battle tested. You know, we have a pretty battle97700:57:15.800 --> 00:57:17.880



test in America American Force period.97800:57:20.159 --> 00:57:21.760



So a lot of that is a lot of that97900:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.800



is training. Yeah, I U ling was last year I98000:57:24.920 --> 00:57:27.440



embedded with the Two years ago I embedded with the98100:57:28.960 --> 00:57:31.159



first airborne with the Rocaissans. They had an air assault98200:57:31.199 --> 00:57:34.960



with those guys, and you know, they're is just as98300:57:35.000 --> 00:57:38.440



good as they were ten years ago. Were do you have.98400:57:39.199 --> 00:57:42.079



I want to interject real quick, real quick, because I98500:57:42.159 --> 00:57:44.039



know we're gonna have so much time. I want to98600:57:44.039 --> 00:57:46.159



say on the China thing, really from an if you're98700:57:46.159 --> 00:57:50.400



okay with that, because it seems like they've been again,98800:57:51.039 --> 00:57:55.679



you know, really pushing the issue about Taiwan. Uh President98900:57:55.760 --> 00:57:57.920



G has already, you know, made a few statements on99000:57:57.960 --> 00:58:00.320



Taiwan will always be Chinese and no one's ever going99100:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.079



to get between us and whatnot. And they're they're doing99200:58:03.159 --> 00:58:07.880



more and more exercise and maneuvers over there. And do99300:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.440



you think we're eventually within a few years going to99400:58:10.480 --> 00:58:12.280



be on that I mean, it seems like we're kind99500:58:12.280 --> 00:58:13.800



of on a collision course. Do you think that is99600:58:13.880 --> 00:58:16.079



the case or is it just a lot of huff99700:58:16.119 --> 00:58:17.039



and puffs, so to speak.99800:58:18.599 --> 00:58:22.360



I think that that President Z has told their military99900:58:23.119 --> 00:58:26.360



that they have to be ready to invade Taiwan by100000:58:26.440 --> 00:58:30.079



twenty twenty seven, got it, Like that's when they that's100100:58:30.119 --> 00:58:31.800



when they are supposed to be ready.100200:58:32.280 --> 00:58:34.320



And that's a consensus I've gotten from other people too.100300:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.960



They kind of feel like by twenty seven, maybe even100400:58:38.000 --> 00:58:41.679



as far out as twenty thirty, we might be in100500:58:41.840 --> 00:58:44.679



that situation where we might have to defend Taiwan or100600:58:44.719 --> 00:58:46.320



there might be a situation with Taiwan and China.100700:58:47.800 --> 00:58:52.639



The ideal time to do it would be in April100800:58:52.840 --> 00:58:57.079



of twenty twenty twenty eight or October twenty twenty eight,100900:58:57.119 --> 00:59:00.320



because that's when there's a US presidential election, right that101000:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.880



transition it and nobody wants to make the wrong decision101100:59:05.320 --> 00:59:08.440



right during a presidential election. So that would be, you know,101200:59:09.039 --> 00:59:11.280



twenty twenty seven is when they're supposed to be ready.101300:59:11.920 --> 00:59:14.559



And it's if you say, like, hey, China's going to101400:59:14.599 --> 00:59:18.320



invade Tiwan twenty twenty seven, that's the general consensus of101500:59:18.440 --> 00:59:23.440



when they will be ready. Now, whether China can still101600:59:23.480 --> 00:59:27.320



be deterred, that's kind of a different question, right, that101700:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.599



is that is a different a valid question play will101800:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.000



we be able to deter China? And I think that101900:59:35.000 --> 00:59:39.400



that's gonna that's going to come into play with all right,102000:59:40.960 --> 00:59:44.760



how are our alli is going to play into this102100:59:46.000 --> 00:59:50.159



because you know, we look at America can't do it102200:59:50.199 --> 00:59:54.679



all America is I think it was sixty sixty one102300:59:55.119 --> 00:59:59.119



hundred miles away, sixty one hundred miles from the US102400:59:59.280 --> 01:00:02.880



to to uh Taiwan. That is a heck of a102501:00:03.000 --> 01:00:07.360



long way to get supplies and missiles and such. And102601:00:07.519 --> 01:00:11.280



so that's why we need to rely on our allies. Australia,102701:00:11.519 --> 01:00:17.079



the Philippines, the UK, France, Canada, Japan, South Korea like102801:00:17.239 --> 01:00:22.400



all them have invested interest in making sure that China102901:00:22.519 --> 01:00:26.159



doesn't do stupid stuff and you look at this, I103001:00:26.199 --> 01:00:31.440



would say especially the Philippines because at the Philippines, the103101:00:31.559 --> 01:00:35.400



Chinese Coast Guard will frequently roll into their their territory103201:00:35.920 --> 01:00:38.760



with their And when I say the Chinese coast Guard,103301:00:39.440 --> 01:00:41.000



people think of the coast Guard and think, oh, they103401:00:41.079 --> 01:00:43.840



go rest rescue people, and it's not necessarily true. The103501:00:43.920 --> 01:00:46.719



Chinese Coast Guard are a bunch of bullies. They go103601:00:46.840 --> 01:00:51.280



around and they they they harass fishing boats. You know,103701:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.880



they shoot water cannons at fishing boats, They do unsafe103801:00:54.000 --> 01:00:56.519



navigation to bully people into leaving.103901:00:58.920 --> 01:00:59.559



So yeah, that.104001:01:01.320 --> 01:01:05.559



You know, the Philippines, if anybody has a vested reason104101:01:06.280 --> 01:01:11.320



to to to fight China to make sure that China104201:01:11.440 --> 01:01:15.760



doesn't expand their zone of control. So we have to104301:01:15.840 --> 01:01:18.440



rely on our allies. And I think if if we104401:01:18.639 --> 01:01:21.320



rely on if we if we have a strong alliance,104501:01:21.760 --> 01:01:27.199



and also if we stand together with Ukraine. Now China104601:01:27.360 --> 01:01:31.559



is watching how we respond to the events going on104701:01:31.639 --> 01:01:35.519



in Ukraine. Oh absolutely, and they're going to look at104801:01:35.639 --> 01:01:40.880



Ukraine and say, all right, well, these guys didn't support Ukraine.104901:01:40.960 --> 01:01:45.599



When there's a freaking rail line connecting Ukraine and Poland.105001:01:46.320 --> 01:01:50.519



Why are they going to support Taiwan when Taiwan is105101:01:50.599 --> 01:01:54.760



sixty one hundred miles away from everything but China, Right,105201:01:55.079 --> 01:02:04.320



So that I actually see China being a very cognizant105301:02:04.360 --> 01:02:07.079



of what's going on in Ukraine. I actually view how105401:02:07.199 --> 01:02:12.400



we find Ukraine to be directly proportional to how China105501:02:12.519 --> 01:02:16.280



is going to perceive our resolve if to turn its105601:02:16.320 --> 01:02:18.159



fails and we have to go to war in China.105701:02:18.679 --> 01:02:21.199



This is true. And you know, circling back to the105801:02:21.280 --> 01:02:25.559



original question while back about how Trump may affect things,105901:02:26.039 --> 01:02:27.880



you know, and I'll get into politics, but just in general,106001:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.239



there's you know, his view of how he handles things.106101:02:30.280 --> 01:02:32.119



He's a wild card. And I think that's what's held106201:02:32.239 --> 01:02:34.719



most things that day, Like people are unsure like will106301:02:34.760 --> 01:02:36.320



he pressed the button? Is he really going to do that?106401:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.199



That they don't know how he would respond. He just106501:02:39.280 --> 01:02:42.159



has enough crazy to make people, you know, second guests themselves,106601:02:42.599 --> 01:02:46.079



and that might be the X factor, so to speak. Right,106701:02:47.440 --> 01:02:50.639



And it makes complete sense as to why, you know,106801:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.760



most people are predicting that China made any move, it106901:02:53.880 --> 01:02:55.760



might be twenty seven to twenty eight, like they're gonna107001:02:55.760 --> 01:03:00.960



wait this period out, So that having said, though Trump107101:03:01.280 --> 01:03:05.239



has been adamant about not funding Ukraine, is that the107201:03:05.360 --> 01:03:06.400



right decision in your mind?107301:03:07.599 --> 01:03:11.000



So he might have said that there's things you say107401:03:11.119 --> 01:03:14.840



to get elected, and there's there's things you say when107501:03:14.920 --> 01:03:19.679



you actually enter power. And I think that I don't107601:03:19.920 --> 01:03:22.760



recall Trump ever saying he doesn't want to fund Ukraine.107701:03:22.840 --> 01:03:26.239



I know that that he wants Ukraine to pay for107801:03:26.280 --> 01:03:29.480



a lot of weapons systems. Is right now, we're sending107901:03:29.480 --> 01:03:31.599



a lot of weapons systems over that are old, but108001:03:31.719 --> 01:03:35.280



we have to replace anyway. And it's actually cheaper for108101:03:35.440 --> 01:03:40.360



us to uh send these old weapons systems over to108201:03:40.440 --> 01:03:45.360



another country than it is to actually that it is108301:03:45.440 --> 01:03:47.599



to actually send them back to Raiate. You want to108401:03:47.599 --> 01:03:51.000



get them to milled. So we're actually saving money and108501:03:51.039 --> 01:03:54.599



we're sending old weapons to Ukraine and some things like uh,108601:03:54.880 --> 01:03:57.360



like we were taking M one one three's and we're108701:03:57.440 --> 01:04:00.880



dumping them in the ocean. Yeah, we would. We would108801:04:00.920 --> 01:04:04.320



take all of the fluids out of them and dump108901:04:04.400 --> 01:04:07.760



them in the ocean to create artificial reefs. I like fish.109001:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.239



I think fish, You're great. It's not a bad idea109101:04:11.360 --> 01:04:15.039



to have, you know, an artificial reef. But you know,109201:04:15.079 --> 01:04:18.159



I also kind of think that that we could also109301:04:18.280 --> 01:04:20.440



take these mm one thres and we can send them109401:04:20.480 --> 01:04:22.840



over to Ukraine and you can use them to kick109501:04:22.840 --> 01:04:25.280



the Russians out of their country. We get rid of them,109601:04:25.719 --> 01:04:28.199



Ukraine gets rid of Russia. Everybody wins except the Russians,109701:04:28.199 --> 01:04:32.679



which is kind of how it should be, right like that, right, right? Yeah,109801:04:32.880 --> 01:04:37.960



that that's the ideal situation there. So you know, when109901:04:38.000 --> 01:04:42.000



it comes to missiles, if we don't fire them, they expire. Eventually.110001:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.360



We need to We need to fire these things if110101:04:45.360 --> 01:04:47.440



we can. There's not enough days in the training calendar110201:04:47.599 --> 01:04:49.719



fire all our stuff. So why not send me to110301:04:49.719 --> 01:04:52.719



the Ukraine. Let Ukraine fire these rockets stored Russians. Saves110401:04:52.800 --> 01:04:57.719



us the disposal cost, so that at the end of110501:04:57.760 --> 01:05:02.679



the day, President Trump is aware of the cost of things,110601:05:03.679 --> 01:05:06.760



and you know, he doesn't want to look weak on110701:05:06.840 --> 01:05:12.239



the world stage. And I can easily see a situation110801:05:12.480 --> 01:05:18.039



happening where, uh, you know, he goes to Putin and says, hey, uh,110901:05:18.400 --> 01:05:21.480



we want peace, and Putin says no, And the next111001:05:21.559 --> 01:05:25.199



thing he does is go, Okay, you don't get to111101:05:25.280 --> 01:05:28.320



embarrass me, and he opens up his checkbook in Ukraine111201:05:28.320 --> 01:05:29.119



gets whatever they want.111301:05:30.079 --> 01:05:30.880



Yeah, I can see that.111401:05:31.480 --> 01:05:33.480



I can see that. Yeah, I can see that.111501:05:33.559 --> 01:05:34.079



I agree with that.111601:05:34.639 --> 01:05:36.440



You know, you don't you don't get you don't get111701:05:36.480 --> 01:05:38.360



to say no to me. I gave you a deal.111801:05:39.119 --> 01:05:41.079



You chose not to accept this deal. So now we're111901:05:41.079 --> 01:05:42.119



gonna do things a hard way.112001:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.679



And that that's exactly his personality, that's who he is. Yeah,112101:05:45.719 --> 01:05:47.360



you know you're not gonna tell him no. He's like no, no, no, no,112201:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.920



this is what's gonna happen. I absolutely agree with that.112301:05:52.400 --> 01:05:54.239



So that was a lot a lot going on in112401:05:54.280 --> 01:05:56.119



the world that you kind of, you know, shed a112501:05:56.119 --> 01:05:59.760



little light on. Uh, let's let's let's dive into another112601:05:59.840 --> 01:06:02.320



topic that I know you talked about before and I've112701:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.239



been interested in lately just just in my talking to112801:06:05.480 --> 01:06:09.280



more people. But let's talk about ocent like open source intelligence.112901:06:09.360 --> 01:06:11.119



What really is it?113001:06:11.239 --> 01:06:13.440



Because a lot of people can always say that anyone113101:06:13.480 --> 01:06:15.760



could read the news and you know, take multiple sources113201:06:15.800 --> 01:06:18.239



and glean the information and try to, you know, put113301:06:18.280 --> 01:06:20.119



two and two together make their own assessments. But what113401:06:20.559 --> 01:06:23.960



separates people like you, for example, and others in your113501:06:24.039 --> 01:06:27.599



field from just the average individual or you know, the113601:06:27.880 --> 01:06:29.159



normal guy like me, for example.113701:06:31.559 --> 01:06:35.480



So honestly, I don't want to say not much, but113801:06:35.559 --> 01:06:37.960



a lot of It's just it's attention to detail. So113901:06:38.159 --> 01:06:41.079



when it comes to things like open source intelligence, you114001:06:42.599 --> 01:06:48.519



are using available open sources to figure out who is114101:06:48.599 --> 01:06:51.199



doing what and why. So let's say you want to114201:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.840



know how large the Russian army is. There's a couple114301:06:54.880 --> 01:06:57.119



of ways you can do it. One way is to114401:06:57.199 --> 01:06:59.119



go to the Russian army and ask how big are you?114501:07:00.000 --> 01:07:03.199



I'll tell you the truth. Maybe they want right. Nothing114601:07:03.360 --> 01:07:08.360



you do is have some spy tell you, hey, we're114701:07:08.440 --> 01:07:12.440



recruiting this many people this year. Maybe that's reliable, maybe114801:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.800



it isn't. But if you know that every Russian recruit114901:07:15.880 --> 01:07:19.159



gets two pairs of boots when they enlist, and Russia115001:07:19.280 --> 01:07:23.480



just put out a contract for twenty two hundred thousand boots,115101:07:24.239 --> 01:07:26.239



then you know that Russia is bringing on one hundred115201:07:26.280 --> 01:07:30.119



thousand people this year. Right, And so you have these115301:07:30.199 --> 01:07:34.360



little sources all over the place, you can kind of115401:07:34.440 --> 01:07:37.280



grab that information and you can extrapolate from there. Like115501:07:37.400 --> 01:07:40.599



people had said that we don't really know the population115601:07:40.719 --> 01:07:43.079



of Russia, the population of Russia is actually half of115701:07:43.199 --> 01:07:45.920



what Russia claims it is, all right, maybe that's true,115801:07:45.960 --> 01:07:47.920



maybe it's not. You know how I figure that out?115901:07:48.840 --> 01:07:51.400



See how many how many grocery stores do you need116001:07:52.679 --> 01:07:56.079



per square mile to feed x amount of people? Right?116101:07:56.159 --> 01:08:01.360



Because Russia, well they're not a democracy necessary they are capitalists,116201:08:02.639 --> 01:08:05.440



and that means, you know, if there is a need116301:08:05.840 --> 01:08:08.880



to open a grocery store to serve a population, someone116401:08:08.960 --> 01:08:11.039



will do that. Someone will get the funding, they will116501:08:11.079 --> 01:08:14.840



open a grocery store. Well, one thing we could do,116601:08:15.440 --> 01:08:17.479



we really want to find out the population of Russia.116701:08:17.880 --> 01:08:21.640



Let's call let's let's count all the grocery stores in Russia. Yeah,116801:08:22.239 --> 01:08:24.159



you know, if we know that one grocery store can116901:08:24.239 --> 01:08:27.520



serve ten thousand people, how many grocery stores are there? Okay,117001:08:27.920 --> 01:08:32.560



now we know the population, all right. So that's that's117101:08:32.640 --> 01:08:34.880



kind of another way of doing it. It's it's gathering117201:08:34.960 --> 01:08:39.159



this information by using open sources that can reveal all117301:08:39.279 --> 01:08:41.079



sorts of things you wouldn't normally expect.117401:08:41.760 --> 01:08:43.600



It's really paying attention, like you said, pay attention to117501:08:43.640 --> 01:08:46.079



the details and willing to dive deeper, not just saying, hey,117601:08:46.119 --> 01:08:48.159



I got three sources and now I have a conclusion.117701:08:49.319 --> 01:08:50.880



You know, and I think one of the regions that117801:08:51.000 --> 01:08:54.960



I've done fairly okay in this field is that I117901:08:55.159 --> 01:08:58.119



was a software engineer and one of my specialties was118001:08:58.279 --> 01:09:01.479



finding and fixing bugs. So a lot of that takes118101:09:01.560 --> 01:09:07.399



persistence out it. You know, you have to to dig,118201:09:07.479 --> 01:09:10.159



and you might dig and dig and dig for weeks.118301:09:11.079 --> 01:09:13.479



You not weeks? Here did it take in weeks? It's118401:09:13.520 --> 01:09:17.439



probably too much time, but for days trying to find118501:09:17.520 --> 01:09:20.199



the source of a bug, right all right? Where did this?118601:09:20.439 --> 01:09:22.439



Where did this bug come from? And you dig and118701:09:22.479 --> 01:09:24.279



you dig, and you dig and you dig, and I118801:09:24.359 --> 01:09:27.199



think kind of that level of persistence has helped me118901:09:27.319 --> 01:09:28.279



out quite a bit.119001:09:29.039 --> 01:09:31.119



Gotcha, Yeah, And that makes it makes a lot of sense.119101:09:31.479 --> 01:09:35.439



I just I have a I have a fear that119201:09:35.560 --> 01:09:38.479



too many people trust those who say that you know,119301:09:39.039 --> 01:09:44.720



they're offering offerings, offering their opinions or else's you know,119401:09:45.159 --> 01:09:47.039



call themselves. Some people that are just doing nothing but119501:09:47.159 --> 01:09:48.520



regurgitating headlines.119601:09:49.159 --> 01:09:52.039



And I've seen you're regurgitating what you found on telegram.119701:09:52.119 --> 01:09:54.600



That's probably not the best way of doing it. But119801:09:55.199 --> 01:09:58.279



you know what you could do is you could take119901:09:58.279 --> 01:10:00.399



a look at something on telegram and say, okay, does120001:10:00.439 --> 01:10:02.359



this make sense from a tactical perspective.120101:10:02.760 --> 01:10:04.479



Yeah, no, And that's what I was gonna ask you.120201:10:04.560 --> 01:10:08.399



Ryan's how does someone how does someone how's someone able120301:10:08.479 --> 01:10:12.640



to know they can trust that particular source, for example,120401:10:12.880 --> 01:10:15.640



like that ocent person who's claiming to you, I'm I'm120501:10:15.720 --> 01:10:18.159



the guy, Like I'm gonna I'm gonna explain everything. I'm120601:10:18.199 --> 01:10:20.560



gonna break it down for you. I have the answer,120701:10:20.640 --> 01:10:23.520



how do we know we can trust that person? For example?120801:10:23.840 --> 01:10:24.920



What's the best way to.120901:10:24.880 --> 01:10:28.680



See if they're right? You know, you look at their score?121001:10:28.880 --> 01:10:31.960



What is their score of being right to being wrong?121101:10:32.760 --> 01:10:34.680



Yeah, okay, simple befairs.121201:10:35.399 --> 01:10:36.800



Proof is in the pudding there, right.121301:10:37.079 --> 01:10:38.880



You know, we're you talk about how we verify O121401:10:38.960 --> 01:10:40.960



some people, it's like, yeah, proof in the pudding. You121501:10:41.039 --> 01:10:42.399



know how often they're right?121601:10:42.560 --> 01:10:42.800



All that?121701:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.640



And uh, yeah, I'm not gonna disagree with you. I121801:10:48.000 --> 01:10:52.000



just I just see too many people cinging on to disinformation.121901:10:52.319 --> 01:10:54.359



Would I say, clean the surface of information? They just122001:10:54.399 --> 01:10:56.800



believe the headline or whatever and whatever's recurd you to122101:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.520



and say, Okay, that guy's correct. Here it is and122201:10:59.600 --> 01:11:01.720



that's why I'm believe and that's it. And that's as122301:11:01.760 --> 01:11:04.079



far as I'm gonna go, and then tend to criticize122401:11:04.119 --> 01:11:07.600



others who dig deeper, and somehow call people like you122501:11:07.880 --> 01:11:10.840



or me conspiracy theorists for just asking questions and going122601:11:10.840 --> 01:11:11.399



a little further.122701:11:11.640 --> 01:11:14.039



I don't think I've ever been called a conspiracy theorist.122801:11:14.640 --> 01:11:18.000



I've been called a CIA shell and I've been called122901:11:18.079 --> 01:11:20.079



I don't I don't know what I'm talking about, and123001:11:20.199 --> 01:11:25.159



somehow both of those things at the same time. You know, like,123101:11:25.720 --> 01:11:27.960



all right, either I'm a CIA show or I don't123201:11:28.000 --> 01:11:29.520



know what I'm talking about, which is crazy.123301:11:29.600 --> 01:11:32.079



Give me what is given your background, which you can123401:11:32.119 --> 01:11:35.479



actually verify. It's like, why why would people jump to123501:11:35.640 --> 01:11:38.079



that conclusion about you? You know, it doesn't make sense.123601:11:38.640 --> 01:11:41.039



Well, I think for for a lot of people. So123701:11:41.239 --> 01:11:45.359



some people are bots, right, yeah, some people, you know123801:11:45.680 --> 01:11:50.520



they look if you're if you're the kind of guy123901:11:50.800 --> 01:11:54.880



who is you get up every day, you go to124001:11:54.960 --> 01:11:59.119



a job that you hate, you uh, work all day,124101:11:59.279 --> 01:12:03.640



you come home. You know, it's it's kind of a124201:12:04.760 --> 01:12:09.479



conspiracy theory that lays it all out right, this is124301:12:09.720 --> 01:12:12.520



why things are the way they are. And you it's124401:12:12.520 --> 01:12:16.439



almost like you you want to believe, right, Yeah, you124501:12:16.600 --> 01:12:21.560



want to believe that this is true because you know124601:12:21.880 --> 01:12:26.239



it's it's it's like imagine like Harry Potter, Like, why124701:12:26.399 --> 01:12:31.319



was Harry Potter so popular? Well, you look at Harry Potter,124801:12:31.359 --> 01:12:35.880



Who's who's Harry Potter's target audience. It's it's kids, it's teenage,124901:12:35.920 --> 01:12:39.560



you know, young early teens something like that, right, or125001:12:39.600 --> 01:12:41.720



these days adults people who grow up on it out.125101:12:42.239 --> 01:12:45.680



But when you're a child, you don't have any agency.125201:12:46.279 --> 01:12:48.159



You don't even get to decide what you put in125301:12:48.199 --> 01:12:52.760



your mouth, right, what you eat. So it's a very125401:12:52.920 --> 01:12:58.079



powerful fantasy to imagine that you're actually a wizard and125501:12:58.199 --> 01:13:00.479



you know more than the grown ups, you know more125601:13:00.560 --> 01:13:03.359



than the adults, you know the truth about how the125701:13:03.439 --> 01:13:06.600



world really works. And that's why Harry Potter was popular.125801:13:06.680 --> 01:13:08.840



So I think a lot of ways conspiracy areas are125901:13:09.319 --> 01:13:12.800



Harry Potter for adults. All Right, you can have this126001:13:12.960 --> 01:13:16.680



fantasy world that only you know about, only you and126101:13:16.760 --> 01:13:19.880



your small groups people know about. I know, the actual truth.126201:13:19.960 --> 01:13:22.079



The woll is being pulled over your eyes, right.126301:13:22.239 --> 01:13:24.399



Yeah, that that's that's a that's a good way to126401:13:24.439 --> 01:13:26.039



look at it. It's an interesting take on that.126501:13:26.800 --> 01:13:29.760



And yeah, I think that's kind of the that's kind126601:13:29.800 --> 01:13:30.880



of the deal.126701:13:31.159 --> 01:13:32.600



But then then you got the you get you got126801:13:32.640 --> 01:13:35.920



the other people who they're not necessarily conspiracorist, but they126901:13:36.039 --> 01:13:39.079



question like they don't stop qush, Like there's no end127001:13:39.159 --> 01:13:42.720



to to their disbelief. It's like, well you said this,127101:13:42.880 --> 01:13:44.760



but what if and then what if that?127201:13:45.000 --> 01:13:45.439



What if this?127301:13:45.640 --> 01:13:47.479



They just keep going and going and going, And at127401:13:47.520 --> 01:13:49.880



some point it's like, well, where's the baseline for you127501:13:50.039 --> 01:13:55.159



to believe anything? You know? And it's so it's like127601:13:55.239 --> 01:13:56.520



what do you what do you do with people like127701:13:56.640 --> 01:14:00.479



that who have who just don't don't trust anything whatsoever.127801:14:00.640 --> 01:14:02.560



So it's like what is their truth based on what127901:14:02.720 --> 01:14:03.960



what do they believe is to be true?128001:14:04.079 --> 01:14:07.800



At some point, Yeah, that's a good question.128101:14:08.239 --> 01:14:10.439



It is is there's no answer. I'm sure, it's just128201:14:10.960 --> 01:14:12.359



I just brought i thought i'd bring that up because128301:14:12.359 --> 01:14:16.760



I do experience that myself, you know, as as we128401:14:16.840 --> 01:14:20.319



both grow in this space, for example, you know, I'm128501:14:20.319 --> 01:14:21.680



starting to get out there more and more, and I'm128601:14:21.760 --> 01:14:23.800



experiencing that more and more with people as well. It's like,128701:14:24.199 --> 01:14:26.439



no matter what answer you give, it's never correct. Great,128801:14:26.680 --> 01:14:27.960



And then you got the other side where there's a128901:14:27.960 --> 01:14:30.760



conspiracy theorist who's just like, no, you're wrong because X,129001:14:30.880 --> 01:14:33.279



y Z. But then they can't prove it themselves. And129101:14:33.520 --> 01:14:37.439



it's just very interesting to be people on this side129201:14:37.479 --> 01:14:39.640



trying to say, look, this is what I found. And129301:14:39.720 --> 01:14:41.199



of course, most way I do Ryan will be honest.129401:14:41.239 --> 01:14:43.439



I give you know, I give opinions and whatnot based129501:14:43.479 --> 01:14:45.760



on data that's available and maybe my own life experiences.129601:14:45.800 --> 01:14:49.039



I'll admit that, but I try to never be the129701:14:49.079 --> 01:14:50.560



guy that's just going to tell the lie for the129801:14:50.600 --> 01:14:52.960



sake of telling it. I'm not, you know, if look,129901:14:53.000 --> 01:14:54.840



if it grows, I get clicks and lives good, but130001:14:54.960 --> 01:14:57.399



that's not my focus per se. If I could turn130101:14:57.520 --> 01:14:59.800



the career, fine, it'll get there. But at the same time,130201:15:00.439 --> 01:15:03.079



I'm not looking to lie to people, and I don't130301:15:03.079 --> 01:15:04.960



think I've seen that from you, either from the videos130401:15:04.960 --> 01:15:07.640



I've seen and from the people I've talked to. It's130501:15:07.760 --> 01:15:09.560



just sad that, you know, there are those that are130601:15:09.680 --> 01:15:11.960



just out to attack others for the sake of maybe130701:15:12.079 --> 01:15:14.079



just not being happy with their own lives where they're at.130801:15:14.680 --> 01:15:16.560



You know, maybe I'm going a bit far and saying that,130901:15:16.680 --> 01:15:18.680



but from what I've seen out there, that seems to131001:15:18.720 --> 01:15:21.800



be the case more often than not. I guess I'll131101:15:21.840 --> 01:15:22.439



just leave that there.131201:15:23.560 --> 01:15:28.239



I've seen. It's probably one of the most interesting things131301:15:28.560 --> 01:15:34.159



I've seen, is like people who who believe in UFOs.131401:15:35.239 --> 01:15:39.319



I did a whole video about how you know, if131501:15:39.640 --> 01:15:44.159



if if UFOs were real, like genuinely honest to God131601:15:44.520 --> 01:15:49.439



reeling aliens and come to the earth, would be dead. Yeah,131701:15:49.560 --> 01:15:54.600



it would be dead because the most logical likely thing131801:15:54.760 --> 01:15:58.079



to do would be to kill us. And in fact,131901:15:58.119 --> 01:16:02.079



I've even said this before, which was like, hey, if132001:16:02.159 --> 01:16:07.279



you are, if you if we ever come upon some132101:16:07.439 --> 01:16:12.920



kind of alien species, we need to kill them. You132201:16:13.000 --> 01:16:15.840



know that that might seem like a little extreme, right,132301:16:16.800 --> 01:16:20.359



But you know, I don't.132401:16:20.159 --> 01:16:24.279



Think it's extreme. It's it's it's referring to nature, I think,132501:16:24.319 --> 01:16:26.880



in and of itself. You know UFOs. Let's let's say aliens,132601:16:26.920 --> 01:16:31.479



you know nature part of nature. You know, nature wants132701:16:31.600 --> 01:16:37.239



to basically, organisms want to live, and what they want132801:16:37.279 --> 01:16:38.840



to do is they want to conquer their environments and132901:16:38.920 --> 01:16:41.479



be you know, the apex predator or the apex species.133001:16:42.000 --> 01:16:43.720



And so I don't think you're wrong in that. I133101:16:43.800 --> 01:16:45.680



mean that that that's a great take because that that133201:16:45.920 --> 01:16:48.760



very well could be could be what the situation would133301:16:48.760 --> 01:16:51.439



be everybody wants to be neither believed. They're just like basically,133401:16:51.479 --> 01:16:53.560



these angels, the benevolent beings, were just looking at it133501:16:53.920 --> 01:16:56.840



out for us, trying to guide us in the right direction.133601:16:57.520 --> 01:17:00.520



But yeah, I'm I mean, if if someone's going to133701:17:00.520 --> 01:17:01.960



make their way all the way over here, why would133801:17:01.960 --> 01:17:04.399



they do that for what resources? If there's resources, they're133901:17:04.399 --> 01:17:06.119



going to want to take those, and who's in the134001:17:06.159 --> 01:17:09.399



way of that It would be us. So yeah, maybe134101:17:09.479 --> 01:17:10.039



'run something there.134201:17:10.560 --> 01:17:15.039



The resource thing doesn't even make that much sense because no,134301:17:15.319 --> 01:17:18.279



because I did a whole video on this where like134401:17:18.439 --> 01:17:23.479



the universe, I actually scaled the universe down to the134501:17:23.600 --> 01:17:27.760



size of the United States, Okay, and ameer like like134601:17:28.039 --> 01:17:32.079



our our solar system is a grain of sand in134701:17:32.159 --> 01:17:35.680



the Wendy's parking lot of Biloxi, Mississippi. We take the134801:17:35.760 --> 01:17:38.960



gy our galaxy, our whole galaxy, the center of the134901:17:39.039 --> 01:17:42.479



galaxy is like in somewhere like odin Kansas or something,135001:17:43.079 --> 01:17:48.680



and then our actual solar system is three fifths of135101:17:48.720 --> 01:17:53.399



a grain of sand in the Wendy's parking lot in Biloxi, Mississippi. Yeah,135201:17:54.279 --> 01:18:01.720



and so any any any group of of aliens that135301:18:02.000 --> 01:18:05.399



wants us for our resources. Well, shoot, if you can135401:18:05.479 --> 01:18:09.640



get across the universe, across the galaxy, you can probably135501:18:09.880 --> 01:18:12.239



have the tech to make your own resources, right, you135601:18:12.279 --> 01:18:16.079



don't need ours, You can make your own stuff. Now,135701:18:16.680 --> 01:18:20.680



who'd people come for exploration just to say? All right, like, hey,135801:18:20.760 --> 01:18:24.439



there's this is crazy, dude, there's a bunch of monkeys135901:18:24.479 --> 01:18:25.600



with nuclear weapons.136001:18:26.680 --> 01:18:29.640



You can chuck these guys out. Let's fascinated. Let's see136101:18:29.680 --> 01:18:33.960



these monkeys with freaking nuclear weapons. We might you know,136201:18:34.479 --> 01:18:37.239



you might do that, but but how does that get funded?136301:18:38.199 --> 01:18:41.319



Yeah? Like, why why did we colonize the New World? Well,136401:18:41.600 --> 01:18:45.319



initially we're looking for a path to send spices, you know,136501:18:45.479 --> 01:18:50.039



go get spices from India? Right, seriously, Right, it was136601:18:50.079 --> 01:18:52.720



a financial There was a financial benefit to go on136701:18:52.760 --> 01:18:56.279



and getting spices from India. What's the financial benefit for136801:18:56.640 --> 01:18:57.279



coming to Earth?136901:18:57.399 --> 01:18:59.880



Well? And but that's that's assuming that if there were aliens,137001:19:00.039 --> 01:19:04.840



that their system is based on monetary values and gains, Like,137101:19:05.039 --> 01:19:08.439



we don't know that, but I do agree the set137201:19:08.520 --> 01:19:11.720



of one right we're dealing with. I'm gonna agree with137301:19:11.760 --> 01:19:15.159



you on this is here's why I would agree. Why137401:19:15.239 --> 01:19:17.960



would they go all this way to see us? Why137501:19:18.079 --> 01:19:21.560



us and why us right that that that's that's the137601:19:21.720 --> 01:19:23.520



that's the piece of puzzle that was never that can137701:19:23.560 --> 01:19:26.760



never be explained. Why are we so important? Why would137801:19:26.760 --> 01:19:27.199



they be here?137901:19:28.119 --> 01:19:28.479



I don't know.138001:19:28.560 --> 01:19:31.520



I'm not I'm I'm not too into that side of it.138101:19:31.640 --> 01:19:33.399



You know, I'm not gonna die. I don't know, UFO138201:19:33.960 --> 01:19:38.720



expert or you know whatever. It's almost like, you know,138301:19:38.920 --> 01:19:43.640



bringing up the topic of Bigfoot. Whatever is there possibility? Sure,138401:19:43.640 --> 01:19:46.199



anything could be possible. But I mean, after all these years,138501:19:47.079 --> 01:19:49.159



I mean, can you believe that our government is that138601:19:49.319 --> 01:19:53.800



good in hiding or keeping the lid on something that long? Maybe?138701:19:54.359 --> 01:19:57.439



I don't know. I mean, like I said, I I138801:19:57.760 --> 01:20:01.520



believe we would be dead. Y if they were genuine,138901:20:01.600 --> 01:20:04.479



honest to God aliens, we would be we would be dead.139001:20:05.239 --> 01:20:08.039



It would make the most sense to kill us before139101:20:08.119 --> 01:20:10.720



we could present a threat to the galaxy. And that139201:20:12.000 --> 01:20:16.800



that might be a universal that might be a universal139301:20:17.640 --> 01:20:23.680



feeling or a universal trait among all living creatures, because139401:20:24.119 --> 01:20:30.680



you know, all living creatures, they they they do two things.139501:20:30.880 --> 01:20:37.359



They acquire energy, and they also they they acquire energy139601:20:37.600 --> 01:20:42.640



and they reproduce three things. They acquire energy, they reproduce.139701:20:42.840 --> 01:20:45.760



I've got this is a Spanish inquisition, right, three things,139801:20:45.800 --> 01:20:50.720



They acquire, energy, they reproduce, and they defend themselves. Yeah,139901:20:51.520 --> 01:20:54.600



and you know, I can tell you this, if every140001:20:54.680 --> 01:21:00.199



single Native American murdered every single freaking dude coming off140101:21:00.239 --> 01:21:04.800



a boat from Spain back in the fifteen hundreds, like140201:21:05.279 --> 01:21:08.000



there wouldn't have been fourteen fourteen hundreds. Back in the140301:21:08.039 --> 01:21:12.439



fourteen hundreds, there wouldn't have been. Things would have worked140401:21:12.479 --> 01:21:15.319



out a lot differently, right they said, you know, these140501:21:15.359 --> 01:21:17.720



people coming out were just going to kill them. They140601:21:17.760 --> 01:21:19.600



would have sent more boats. They would have killed those140701:21:19.640 --> 01:21:23.159



people too, right, And I think things would have looked140801:21:23.159 --> 01:21:27.760



a lot different. Now you're getting colonized on your own terms,140901:21:27.880 --> 01:21:31.159



or you're coming into the modern age on your own terms,141001:21:31.239 --> 01:21:34.560



as opposed to on the on the terms of these141101:21:34.640 --> 01:21:38.640



invaders just being calmed. So it, Yeah, it would make141201:21:38.760 --> 01:21:44.399



more sense to if you come upon a species, to141301:21:44.560 --> 01:21:46.800



wipe them out before they get a chance to do141401:21:46.920 --> 01:21:50.880



that to you. That's most likely what they you know,141501:21:51.000 --> 01:21:56.039



because because by the time, look, distances are so far yeah, right,141601:21:56.079 --> 01:21:58.640



And it's easy to say, oh, well, warp drives. Well,141701:21:58.680 --> 01:22:01.399



I mean I can't work with that, right like I141801:22:01.680 --> 01:22:05.399



but I can work with, Like if you know, one141901:22:05.399 --> 01:22:07.560



of the things that I that I talked about is142001:22:07.600 --> 01:22:12.119



that we can use best spectropathy to see to figure142101:22:12.159 --> 01:22:17.159



out what's coming out of a planet. Right, we point142201:22:17.760 --> 01:22:20.319



a device at a planet and when a star train142301:22:20.600 --> 01:22:23.720



that planet transits, a star light shines through the atmosphere142401:22:23.720 --> 01:22:28.399



that planet. And if we found oxygen on that planet,142501:22:29.359 --> 01:22:31.319



one of the first things we would go is, hold up,142601:22:31.439 --> 01:22:34.760



what the heck's making this oxygen? Because oxygen is super reacting.142701:22:35.520 --> 01:22:39.479



If plants, if all the plants died tomorrow, it would142801:22:39.520 --> 01:22:42.560



take about six thousand years for all the oxygen on142901:22:42.680 --> 01:22:46.760



our planet to essentially react with other things and become143001:22:46.880 --> 01:22:50.359



rust Right, they take about six thousand years for no143101:22:50.479 --> 01:22:54.720



oxygen to be on this planet, so five six thousand years.143201:22:55.600 --> 01:22:59.199



So if we ever saw a planet that was making oxygen,143301:22:59.279 --> 01:23:03.520



the next question is what the heck's make all this oxygen? Yeah,143401:23:03.600 --> 01:23:05.720



that's something we might want to go check out, but143501:23:05.840 --> 01:23:08.479



whether we have the actual ability to do it is143601:23:08.560 --> 01:23:11.680



another story. And the funding for something like that, And143701:23:11.720 --> 01:23:13.640



you could say, oh, and if there's a hive mind143801:23:13.680 --> 01:23:16.159



and they don't believe in money, well that's in a143901:23:16.199 --> 01:23:18.720



way that's even worse because if it's a freaking hive mind,144001:23:18.760 --> 01:23:21.119



that hive mind is probably going to decide we need144101:23:21.199 --> 01:23:24.640



to kill these people before they can kill us. It's144201:23:24.680 --> 01:23:28.960



like the dark Forest right during that that the threebody problem. Yeah,144301:23:29.479 --> 01:23:32.920



I saw a little bit of freebody problem. We read144401:23:32.960 --> 01:23:37.520



the books, watch the Netflix series. It makes absolute sense144501:23:37.600 --> 01:23:40.119



for the aliens to come to Earth and murder all144601:23:40.159 --> 01:23:44.000



of us and take over the planets makes the most sense.144701:23:44.439 --> 01:23:48.079



So kind of on that vein circling back to Earth.144801:23:49.119 --> 01:23:51.319



As of now, it kind of died down a bit,144901:23:52.279 --> 01:23:55.640



and I don't know whatever happened. What I saw your145001:23:55.720 --> 01:23:57.720



video on your take on what was going on with145101:23:57.800 --> 01:24:00.800



those those drones in the East Coast, New Jersey. Do145201:24:00.880 --> 01:24:03.359



you have any more you know now time has pass145301:24:03.439 --> 01:24:05.640



to add to that and what your thoughts were because145401:24:05.680 --> 01:24:08.319



you did work in that industry for a while as well.145501:24:09.159 --> 01:24:13.000



Yeah, I mean, my my basic conclusion was that this145601:24:13.239 --> 01:24:20.039



was most likely a Red Team event where you're ever145701:24:20.159 --> 01:24:25.640



watch Seal Team six Richard Marshenko Red Snell. Yeah, and145801:24:26.319 --> 01:24:30.560



Richard Marshenko he had the foresight to like, all right,145901:24:30.720 --> 01:24:33.680



let's think like a terrorist, let's create a team. Well146001:24:34.159 --> 01:24:36.920



he called it Seal Team six. To make everybody believe that,146101:24:37.079 --> 01:24:42.239



like there were like five other seal teams, right, so146201:24:42.479 --> 01:24:46.319



Seal Team six, you know, they would try to take146301:24:46.399 --> 01:24:49.239



these you know, let's let's try to penetrate this naval base,146401:24:49.239 --> 01:24:52.159



see what their defenses are like. And they tell the commander, right,146501:24:52.399 --> 01:24:55.000



this exercise is going on, but they wouldn't necessarily tell146601:24:55.039 --> 01:24:58.279



anybody else. So I can easily see a situation where146701:24:58.319 --> 01:25:01.359



someone is red teaming and and the base commander knows it,146801:25:01.520 --> 01:25:04.439



maybe the deputy commander knows that. A couple other people146901:25:04.479 --> 01:25:07.560



might know. They can't say anything because then it would147001:25:07.640 --> 01:25:10.119



violate the principles of the exercise, right, you have to147101:25:10.199 --> 01:25:14.720



see what people are actually going to do here, So yeah,147201:25:14.760 --> 01:25:17.439



I could I think that most likely those drones in147301:25:17.439 --> 01:25:20.520



New Jersey, maybe they had a red teaming event and147401:25:20.680 --> 01:25:25.039



then everything became drones, like they were seeing helicopters.147501:25:24.560 --> 01:25:27.319



Find Oh yeah, they saw what they wanted to see147601:25:27.399 --> 01:25:28.279



at some point, right.147701:25:28.680 --> 01:25:31.479



Yeah, And again it goes back to the whole conspiracy147801:25:31.560 --> 01:25:34.039



theory thing of like, well I know the truth I147901:25:34.239 --> 01:25:39.039



know about thrones. Here's a real story. And you know148001:25:39.119 --> 01:25:41.079



that was another thing that people said, Oh they're looking148101:25:41.119 --> 01:25:46.399



for they're looking for a nuclear device. Yeah, stolen from Ukraine. Like, dude,148201:25:46.680 --> 01:25:49.640



any newglar device that was stolen from Ukraine in nineteen148301:25:49.760 --> 01:25:53.800



ninety four, You know that thing has gone through multiple148401:25:53.840 --> 01:25:59.840



tritium cycles. That thing has the plutonium degrades over time,148501:26:01.960 --> 01:26:04.600



where like you know, plutonium decays is a naturally decaying148601:26:04.680 --> 01:26:08.000



radioactive isotope, and so you have these little pockets of148701:26:08.119 --> 01:26:11.520



helium inside the plutonium. That's why you periodically have to148801:26:11.560 --> 01:26:14.479



re manufacture the plutonium and get all those those helium148901:26:14.520 --> 01:26:21.640



bubbles out. The explosives that surround the pit those decay149001:26:21.920 --> 01:26:25.720



or those have to be maintained. The batteries have to149101:26:25.800 --> 01:26:27.840



be changed. And you could say, oh, what if they149201:26:27.880 --> 01:26:32.800



took it to a Soviet scientist and they're former Soviet scientists, Like, look, dude,149301:26:35.560 --> 01:26:39.359



my kid would have to be really freaking sick to149401:26:39.520 --> 01:26:42.279



take money to go work on a nuclear device, because149501:26:42.319 --> 01:26:43.159



they will find you.149601:26:44.199 --> 01:26:49.319



Right Like, they will find you, like we found the149701:26:49.439 --> 01:26:55.119



dude who shot the CEO from from United Healthcare super quick.149801:26:55.439 --> 01:27:03.199



Like if that dude went and shot like some random stranger, No, oh,149901:27:03.399 --> 01:27:05.359



that's New York. You know what do you want? You know,150001:27:05.520 --> 01:27:09.479



it's Bryce living in New York. Right, you go shoot150101:27:09.640 --> 01:27:14.479



the CEO of the healthcare company. We'll find you. Right. So,150201:27:14.960 --> 01:27:18.760



if you're a scientist who's try who use the tools150301:27:18.800 --> 01:27:21.800



and materials, plus like the tools and materials to make150401:27:21.920 --> 01:27:25.760



this stuff re manufactured stuff, they're not exactly available in150501:27:25.800 --> 01:27:28.560



the open market, right, You're not going you're not going150601:27:28.560 --> 01:27:29.960



to home depot and picking this stuff up.150701:27:30.000 --> 01:27:30.880



Oh hell yeah.150801:27:32.399 --> 01:27:34.119



So there was that, and there was also the fact150901:27:34.159 --> 01:27:37.359



that physics is physics, Like, as you get from the151001:27:37.560 --> 01:27:40.680



inverse square law, double the distance, the radiation goes down151101:27:40.720 --> 01:27:42.680



by half. So if you're looking for something on a151201:27:42.800 --> 01:27:46.880



drone trying to use the detector, looking for a radioactive151301:27:48.399 --> 01:27:51.199



looking for radiation, uh, you're gonna have to be pretty151401:27:51.239 --> 01:27:54.760



darn close to that source because the further you are151501:27:54.880 --> 01:27:58.520



up in the air, the more that radiation spreads out151601:27:58.600 --> 01:28:02.039



and the less likely order to detect that. Now a151701:28:02.159 --> 01:28:05.680



lot of these weapons are shielded because you don't want151801:28:05.760 --> 01:28:08.479



the people handling these weapons to get sick, exactly right,151901:28:08.680 --> 01:28:10.680



So there is shielding in there. And even if it152001:28:10.800 --> 01:28:16.359



was unshielded, like, dude, the fastest way to find that weapon,152101:28:16.439 --> 01:28:18.720



if it was unshielded, would be to put police officers152201:28:18.760 --> 01:28:21.319



at all the hospitals because sooner or later, some dude's152301:28:21.359 --> 01:28:23.159



going to come out with radiation sickness and the doctors152401:28:23.239 --> 01:28:25.399



might not even know what the hell it is. Why152501:28:25.520 --> 01:28:27.800



is this dude sick like this? Because how many doctors152601:28:27.840 --> 01:28:29.159



have seen radiation sickness?152701:28:29.359 --> 01:28:29.479



Right?152801:28:30.640 --> 01:28:34.720



Feel like someone presenting with you know, there there's a152901:28:34.840 --> 01:28:37.479



term in medicine horses not zebras, when someone shows up153001:28:37.520 --> 01:28:40.880



with the condition. You you know, if you're in America153101:28:40.960 --> 01:28:42.880



and you hear hoof beats behind you, or you're going153201:28:42.920 --> 01:28:44.319



to think it's a horse, or you're going to think153301:28:44.319 --> 01:28:47.079



it's a zebra. Right, probably I think it's a horse.153401:28:48.239 --> 01:28:51.279



You know, if some dude presents with radiation sickness, you153501:28:51.359 --> 01:28:54.199



might not even recognize that. You might say, oh, this guy,153601:28:54.680 --> 01:28:56.760



you know, that's why you ask questions, have you traveled153701:28:56.760 --> 01:28:58.560



outside the country? Have you done this? Have you done that?153801:28:58.880 --> 01:29:01.560



They're narrowing it down their head with this problem could153901:29:01.600 --> 01:29:07.600



be right, So, yeah, there was that, and the other154001:29:07.760 --> 01:29:11.359



thing was someone else and this this happened at a154101:29:11.399 --> 01:29:17.760



bad time. Someone claimed that a radioactive pin source was stolen,154201:29:18.600 --> 01:29:20.680



and a pin source, it's like that, it's a little154301:29:20.720 --> 01:29:24.039



thing that you used to calibrate hospital equipment. You know,154401:29:24.960 --> 01:29:27.640



so if you're doing like barium treatments, right, and there's154501:29:27.680 --> 01:29:30.800



a radioactive detector that looks at the barium going through154601:29:30.840 --> 01:29:33.840



your system, you'd use a radioactive pin source on that154701:29:33.920 --> 01:29:36.520



thing to make sure. Okay, yeah, this thing is reading correctly,154801:29:36.960 --> 01:29:41.079



let's go to the Now. Apparently a radioactive pin source154901:29:41.119 --> 01:29:45.439



that I guess was headed toward disposal got lost, and155001:29:45.560 --> 01:29:48.159



now it's oh, they're looking for this thing. Could this155101:29:48.319 --> 01:29:50.039



be used in a dirty bomb? Like, dude, it's a155201:29:50.079 --> 01:29:55.159



pin source, don't eat it. It's fine, I could have155301:29:55.239 --> 01:29:59.239



it right here, fine, right, Like it's not like that's funny.155401:29:59.560 --> 01:30:01.960



But you know, some of that goes back to like,155501:30:02.159 --> 01:30:05.520



oh my god, radiation, Like people are afraid of radiation.155601:30:05.600 --> 01:30:09.159



You shouldn't be. If you're afraid of radiation, don't fly anywhere.155701:30:10.199 --> 01:30:15.960



Pilots get juiced up, Like if the average pilot, I155801:30:16.039 --> 01:30:22.119



think the average average rat worker, I think they're allowed155901:30:22.239 --> 01:30:29.560



five ren a year, all right, And pilots like getting156001:30:29.560 --> 01:30:33.159



a chest X ray, Yeah, I think that's like, uh,156101:30:33.840 --> 01:30:37.000



it's five thousand mili ren for a chest X ray, right,156201:30:37.800 --> 01:30:41.000



So if you get like twenty five chest X rays156301:30:41.119 --> 01:30:44.399



it's the math wrong there. But if you get a156401:30:44.439 --> 01:30:46.359



certain amount of chest X rays like that would be156501:30:46.439 --> 01:30:48.760



you wouldn't be able to work on a nuclear plant, gotcha.156601:30:49.359 --> 01:30:50.920



Yeah, So the.156701:30:51.000 --> 01:30:53.920



Pilots due just because they're flying, you know, in the156801:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.159



atmosphere and there there's less atmosphere up there, and they're156901:30:57.159 --> 01:30:59.399



getting hit with X rays and they're getting hit stuff157001:30:59.399 --> 01:31:03.039



from space. You know, they get they get juiced up.157101:31:03.359 --> 01:31:06.359



I'm actually surprised pilots don't have to carry dose simitters.157201:31:06.760 --> 01:31:08.960



See how much dose they're getting. They get more radiation157301:31:09.119 --> 01:31:11.119



than the nuclear worker pilots.157401:31:11.800 --> 01:31:12.039



Center.157501:31:12.199 --> 01:31:15.640



Now, don't lie anywhere, don't have granite countertops in your home.157601:31:15.720 --> 01:31:16.560



They give off radiation.157701:31:16.600 --> 01:31:17.119



Well, yeah they do.157801:31:17.760 --> 01:31:21.479



Don't eat a banana, yeah, you know, well.157901:31:21.399 --> 01:31:23.199



Everything gives off a certain level of radiation.158001:31:24.159 --> 01:31:27.199



They have a potassium Oh my god, if you're the158101:31:27.279 --> 01:31:32.720



darn isotope. But yeah, bananas are mildly radioactive, just naturally158201:31:32.800 --> 01:31:33.680



from the potassium.158301:31:33.720 --> 01:31:39.600



And yeah, what's what's the drum thing? The drum thing?158401:31:41.000 --> 01:31:43.760



I'm with you on this. I don't think it's anything.158501:31:43.800 --> 01:31:45.119



I'm not sure it was anything in the fairs. I158601:31:45.479 --> 01:31:49.199



I just think it was our government doing testing for158701:31:49.319 --> 01:31:51.399



whatever reasons they needed to testing, you know, the people158801:31:51.439 --> 01:31:53.840



wanted to see what they wanted to see. Eventually just158901:31:53.880 --> 01:31:57.479



got out of control. What let's let's tie this back159001:31:57.560 --> 01:32:02.560



to Matthew Laviisberger. His that the alleged communication, which some159101:32:02.680 --> 01:32:04.640



people say was true, some don't. You're still digging into159201:32:04.640 --> 01:32:09.000



that yourself. So what about those claims in that letter159301:32:09.079 --> 01:32:13.239



about these being some advanced propulsion technology that are Chinese,159401:32:14.159 --> 01:32:17.039



you know, off being launched from a submarine in the Atlantic.159501:32:18.159 --> 01:32:18.840



What do you think all that?159601:32:21.319 --> 01:32:28.479



So the question is like in typically in the intelligence world,159701:32:28.560 --> 01:32:32.399



if you have a security clearance, you only get access159801:32:32.479 --> 01:32:38.319



to stuff that you need to know about, right your job. Compartmentalization, environmentalization,159901:32:38.520 --> 01:32:41.239



I mean the the s c I and t S160001:32:41.399 --> 01:32:46.119



s c I means top secret, sensitive compartmentalized information. So160101:32:47.960 --> 01:32:50.640



if I'm finding bad guys in the hornet of Africa,160201:32:51.960 --> 01:32:55.359



I don't know anything about drug cartels in Mexico. Okay,160301:32:55.520 --> 01:32:58.079



that's just not I don't need to know that. I'm160401:32:58.119 --> 01:33:00.439



not going to access that information. I want to know160501:33:00.479 --> 01:33:04.119



about it. So if you're a Special Forces dude, the160601:33:04.279 --> 01:33:07.119



email is kind of weird because he's talking about Afghanistan160701:33:07.199 --> 01:33:11.960



and he's talking about Chinese boats and launching drones. And160801:33:12.760 --> 01:33:15.039



you know I've said this before, like if there was160901:33:15.079 --> 01:33:17.600



a Chinese submarine launching drones, the Coast Guard would be161001:33:17.680 --> 01:33:22.000



all over that. All over they love like they love161101:33:22.079 --> 01:33:24.399



finding Narco submarines. This would be a feather in their161201:33:24.439 --> 01:33:27.600



cap that never have to buy a drink again, right right,161301:33:28.479 --> 01:33:31.920



And and there was other weird stuff like it can161401:33:32.039 --> 01:33:36.000



have like infinite carrying capacity like no, I can't dude,161501:33:36.199 --> 01:33:41.000



like lift thrust weight and drag dud same that. So161601:33:42.760 --> 01:33:45.520



you know, again you kind of have to go with161701:33:46.359 --> 01:33:51.399



most likely. And you know it is not very likely161801:33:51.800 --> 01:33:56.159



that someone who was in Germany doing Special Forces stuff161901:33:56.479 --> 01:34:00.479



would have any knowledge of especially in E eight. You know,162001:34:01.000 --> 01:34:04.079



if you're a if you're an E eight, a master162101:34:04.159 --> 01:34:10.439



sergeant in the army, even in special Forces, you're a hitter,162201:34:10.840 --> 01:34:13.640



you're a door kicker. You're a really good door kicker.162301:34:14.640 --> 01:34:17.279



You might work with the targeting cell once in a while,162401:34:17.920 --> 01:34:20.279



you know, to get experience on something, or because they162501:34:20.399 --> 01:34:23.319



need bodies, or because it generally affects the outcome of162601:34:23.319 --> 01:34:26.880



an operation. But you're not dealing with Chinese submarines. It's162701:34:26.920 --> 01:34:28.439



not really an Army.162801:34:29.039 --> 01:34:33.239



Right right, it's unlikely you come across that intel, correct.162901:34:33.640 --> 01:34:35.920



Yeah, that would be that would be somewhat difficult to163001:34:35.960 --> 01:34:40.399



come across that information. So you know, it's it's uh,163101:34:41.439 --> 01:34:43.760



it's one of those things that that that kind of163201:34:43.840 --> 01:34:46.199



activates like this smells.163301:34:45.760 --> 01:34:50.479



Funny, gotcha. Yeah, And this is the idea of you know,163401:34:51.680 --> 01:34:55.479



anybody getting that close to our coastline, like within that163501:34:56.199 --> 01:34:59.720



that distance, how we would not detect that. I kind163601:34:59.760 --> 01:35:02.439



of yeah, I find it hard to believe personally.163701:35:03.560 --> 01:35:06.720



Yeah, I know that we had a network or probably163801:35:06.720 --> 01:35:10.600



still have a network called soosis, which are underground sensors163901:35:10.800 --> 01:35:14.720



that go between the g I UK gap Greenland, Iceland,164001:35:14.840 --> 01:35:18.600



United Kingdom that gap, so we can detect any Russian164101:35:18.640 --> 01:35:23.000



submarines coming out of their bastions, which they rarely ever164201:35:23.039 --> 01:35:26.199



do anyway, Russian submarines essentially never leave the Kerosee. It164301:35:26.319 --> 01:35:28.760



was a big deal when Russian submarines went down to164401:35:29.439 --> 01:35:33.840



one Russian submarine went down to Cuba for training exercise.164501:35:34.119 --> 01:35:36.199



Like I'm sure the guys in N. A. S. Jacksonville164601:35:36.199 --> 01:35:40.279



are having a hell of a time using their their164701:35:42.000 --> 01:35:45.119



using their oh my god, their pa Poseidon's you know,164801:35:45.279 --> 01:35:49.239



tracking the submarine. I'm sure they I'm sure they had164901:35:49.279 --> 01:35:52.239



a party, you know, getting all sorts of date on165001:35:52.399 --> 01:35:57.800



this submarine as it traveled. I tend to stay away165101:35:57.840 --> 01:36:00.640



from naval topics because I just don't know as much165201:36:00.760 --> 01:36:02.760



about them. But I'm sure we have some sort of165301:36:02.880 --> 01:36:07.119



underground network that detect submarines, or at least could detect165401:36:07.359 --> 01:36:09.880



certain kinds of contacts, and we send something to investigate.165501:36:12.000 --> 01:36:14.720



So the the odds of a Chinese submarine sitting off165601:36:14.920 --> 01:36:16.960



the East coast is near zero.165701:36:17.640 --> 01:36:20.359



Yeah, I'm with you on that one. I find it165801:36:20.399 --> 01:36:23.760



a little hard to believe that we wouldn't know, we165901:36:23.840 --> 01:36:24.239



would know.166001:36:25.079 --> 01:36:27.199



It's not let me put that different way. The odds166101:36:27.239 --> 01:36:32.520



of Chinese submarine sitting off the East coast is a166201:36:32.640 --> 01:36:36.239



roughly even chance. It is likely that China has the166301:36:36.319 --> 01:36:41.600



capability to do that, and it is open, what do166401:36:41.640 --> 01:36:44.079



you call it, the international water? You can sail wherever166501:36:44.159 --> 01:36:46.680



you want. You want to park a Chinese submarine the166601:36:46.720 --> 01:36:50.000



international water. It's knock yourself on, all right, yeah, sure166701:36:50.119 --> 01:36:52.840



do it. Well, we'd love to train against you, you know.166801:36:53.039 --> 01:36:57.119



So it's certainly it's certainly possible that a Chinese submarine166901:36:57.159 --> 01:37:00.000



could be there. But we would almost certainly know about it.167001:37:00.880 --> 01:37:03.399



That That's what That's basically was my point I was167101:37:03.439 --> 01:37:05.680



trying to make. I guess it was we would have167201:37:05.800 --> 01:37:07.880



known at some point. We would have definitely known it167301:37:07.960 --> 01:37:11.640



was there. It wouldn't have just gone undetected. So and167401:37:11.960 --> 01:37:14.520



again I I'm with you. I I don't know enough167501:37:14.560 --> 01:37:17.399



about how the Navy works or you know, what they use,167601:37:17.520 --> 01:37:20.880



but I find it highly unlikely that such a well167701:37:21.000 --> 01:37:24.560



funded military such as ours would not have the capability167801:37:25.159 --> 01:37:27.520



to detect a presence out there.167901:37:28.640 --> 01:37:30.800



Oh we would be so, we would be so on that.168001:37:31.279 --> 01:37:32.279



Yeah, that's all.168101:37:34.960 --> 01:37:40.199



I We would have so much fun. Seriously, Like it's168201:37:40.279 --> 01:37:43.439



it's such a great training opportunity, right and like you know,168301:37:43.680 --> 01:37:48.079



sometimes like people are getting bored, you know, like why not,168401:37:48.960 --> 01:37:52.600



you know, why not use this as a training opportunity.168501:37:52.920 --> 01:37:57.319



I mean, they're there right as well, let's take this opportunity. Well,168601:37:58.960 --> 01:38:01.359



I'm gonna start wrapping up because I'm sure you're very busy.168701:38:01.399 --> 01:38:04.680



I got a few meetings and really quick though, I'm168801:38:04.680 --> 01:38:07.279



gonna ask you what is your go to cigar these days?168901:38:07.319 --> 01:38:07.960



What are you into?169001:38:09.039 --> 01:38:13.159



Well? Right now I'm smoking a bone bone shaker, but169101:38:13.560 --> 01:38:17.760



I like the Camacho reds. Yeah, yeah, the red Camachas.169201:38:19.840 --> 01:38:23.840



But part of us black label, partake us black labels169301:38:23.960 --> 01:38:29.800



of these little ones, and especially because you know, I like,169401:38:29.960 --> 01:38:33.479



I recognize, like I need to smoke less. Yeah, as169501:38:33.560 --> 01:38:38.199



I love smoking, And you know, part of one of169601:38:38.199 --> 01:38:41.880



the nice parts of these is I can write a169701:38:41.960 --> 01:38:43.640



lot of time. Like I spent a good portion by169801:38:43.680 --> 01:38:47.239



a day writing scripts. So I'll write and I'll smoke169901:38:47.319 --> 01:38:52.079



and I don't even notice I'm smoking out and I'll170001:38:52.159 --> 01:38:55.199



just keep going, going and going. So yeah, that's probably170101:38:55.359 --> 01:38:57.359



the part of US black label, which I love. The170201:38:57.479 --> 01:39:02.319



tiny ones. I actually can't get them in Maryland anymore because, yeah,170301:39:02.479 --> 01:39:07.279



Maryland banned the sale of small cigars. I guess they're170401:39:07.319 --> 01:39:09.760



trying to do it to prevent like the black and170501:39:09.840 --> 01:39:15.960



Miles being used as mariandeh, that's ridiculous. But these, since170601:39:16.039 --> 01:39:18.119



these are so small, I guess you know, they fall170701:39:18.239 --> 01:39:19.079



under that rule.170801:39:19.159 --> 01:39:20.359



They're not that small.170901:39:20.520 --> 01:39:23.279



And I didn't even know it. I tried to order171001:39:23.399 --> 01:39:29.359



on and I I was Maryland. Well, thank god, there's171101:39:29.439 --> 01:39:32.439



this girl I know in Virginia Beach and once in171201:39:32.439 --> 01:39:36.239



a while I go down to see her, and uh,171301:39:36.319 --> 01:39:37.680



you know, I stay at her place. I was there171401:39:37.720 --> 01:39:40.680



for like two weeks. Actually, it's one of the reasons171501:39:40.760 --> 01:39:42.960



I came back up here. It's kind of overstraining my welcome.171601:39:43.199 --> 01:39:47.039



And it was about the snow, and uh, I was like, shoot,171701:39:47.079 --> 01:39:50.359



I need to I need to leave, but I'll order cigars.171801:39:50.359 --> 01:39:52.079



I'll have them sent there, I'll pick them up there.171901:39:52.119 --> 01:39:56.039



I'll order the mini tins there. You know that's that's172001:39:56.119 --> 01:40:00.159



that's something I guess. I was, Uh, yeah, I got us.172101:40:00.239 --> 01:40:03.199



And the red camachoson Scheggers are pretty good too. I172201:40:03.319 --> 01:40:03.479



like this.172301:40:03.600 --> 01:40:05.760



Yeah, it's it's sad that that that they're trying to172401:40:06.000 --> 01:40:08.239



more and more limit the sales of cigars and the172501:40:08.359 --> 01:40:10.239



enjoyment of them is it's I mean, I know we're172601:40:10.279 --> 01:40:11.840



going off topic here, but it's like, I don't know172701:40:11.840 --> 01:40:14.560



if you ever listen to Cigar David at all, but172801:40:14.720 --> 01:40:17.439



he has this whole thing he always he always calls172901:40:17.479 --> 01:40:20.359



them the pleasure police, you know how they're always going173001:40:20.399 --> 01:40:22.039



out of their way to make sure that you know,173101:40:22.079 --> 01:40:25.640



they're just taking these little, little, little, you know, little173201:40:25.920 --> 01:40:28.640



pieces of enjoyment away from us. And it's not like173301:40:28.680 --> 01:40:31.880



they're harming anyone except you know, maybe maybe ourselves. If that,173401:40:32.079 --> 01:40:35.119



but yeah, I'm kind of like, uh, I've been going173501:40:35.560 --> 01:40:37.439



I've been more and more into the ole mech lately173601:40:37.640 --> 01:40:39.760



by Foundation cigars, So I've been going that direction a173701:40:39.840 --> 01:40:42.199



lot more. And of course I've always always enjoyed a padrone,173801:40:42.239 --> 01:40:46.960



but not always affordable. But but yeah, I've been big173901:40:47.000 --> 01:40:50.680



on the olmecs. Before we sign off, though, I know174001:40:50.760 --> 01:40:52.520



you have a book, So let's let's talk about your book.174101:40:52.560 --> 01:40:54.680



Let's tell people how they can get you know, seriously,174201:40:54.720 --> 01:40:56.680



you know, go ahead, pitch your stuff. Why not?174301:40:56.760 --> 01:41:01.920



You're here, you know, Yeah, So I uh so I174401:41:02.359 --> 01:41:05.159



a couple of months ago, I guess it was last year,174501:41:06.000 --> 01:41:08.399



someone said, Ryan, you know, you need to write a book,174601:41:08.880 --> 01:41:12.279



and I was like, I don't know how to write174701:41:12.279 --> 01:41:14.880



a book. You know, I'm not a writer. So I174801:41:16.279 --> 01:41:19.399



wrote a short story called Warlock, which is about an174901:41:19.479 --> 01:41:22.279



Irish traveler who has like a little bit of magic,175001:41:22.520 --> 01:41:24.319



but kind of like magic in the sense of like175101:41:24.439 --> 01:41:26.439



he can tell who's in a house before he robs it,175201:41:26.920 --> 01:41:28.720



kind of thing like is this a good house to rub?175301:41:29.680 --> 01:41:33.199



And after the terrorist sacks nine eleven, the FBI contacts175401:41:33.279 --> 01:41:35.079



him and asks him to help find a song bin Laden,175501:41:36.640 --> 01:41:39.479



which he does gotcha? And so I wrote that short175601:41:39.479 --> 01:41:42.960



story and sold really well. People actually bought it. I'm like, Okay,175701:41:43.159 --> 01:41:46.560



maybe there's something here. So then I started writing a175801:41:46.560 --> 01:41:49.800



book called The wind Machine, which was about I should175901:41:49.840 --> 01:41:51.439



have it right here, but I have it over there.176001:41:51.880 --> 01:41:53.800



The wind Machine, the candy cane strep thing you can176101:41:53.840 --> 01:41:56.359



find on Amazon and audible if you're a marine, want176201:41:56.359 --> 01:42:01.079



to listen to it? And I I was thinking, like,176301:42:01.960 --> 01:42:03.800



I work in the AI space, at least I used176401:42:03.800 --> 01:42:06.680



to work in the I space. I was like, you know, like,176501:42:06.960 --> 01:42:09.520



wouldn't it be neat if there was a guy who176601:42:10.279 --> 01:42:13.119



had an AI computer, Like, if you knew there was176701:42:13.199 --> 01:42:16.159



going to be a war, you might be able to176801:42:16.239 --> 01:42:21.399



buy stocks, right, you know and game the market, right right? Well,176901:42:21.479 --> 01:42:24.520



what if there is a guy who found out there177001:42:24.600 --> 01:42:28.039



was going to be a nuclear war between the US177101:42:28.119 --> 01:42:32.119



and China? Would you game? Would you try to put177201:42:32.199 --> 01:42:35.439



the limited nuclear exchange limited nuclear exchange in the US177301:42:35.479 --> 01:42:38.359



and China? Would you try to make money off it?177401:42:38.760 --> 01:42:42.520



Or would you try to warn the government? And then177501:42:42.560 --> 01:42:45.039



that kind of gets into all, right, well, how do177601:42:45.119 --> 01:42:48.239



you warn the government. There's no hotline? You can call177701:42:48.279 --> 01:42:51.439



it the Pentagon, right, And plus if you do tell177801:42:51.479 --> 01:42:53.960



the Pentagon, hey, I have a supercomputer that picked stocks177901:42:53.960 --> 01:42:57.680



almost perfectly. You do tell the government that the next178001:42:57.720 --> 01:43:01.079



person you speak to is the SEC Security Exchange Commission,178101:43:01.680 --> 01:43:03.720



who will then put you out of business because you178201:43:03.840 --> 01:43:08.279



have a you know, an unfair advantage. So now what178301:43:08.359 --> 01:43:10.560



do you do? That's kind of the question of the novel.178401:43:10.680 --> 01:43:14.119



It's it's essentially the responsible use of AI. Like the178501:43:14.479 --> 01:43:18.039



plot is about the plot is essentially what if doctor178601:43:18.079 --> 01:43:23.680



Strange ran a hedge fund? But the theme is the178701:43:23.760 --> 01:43:29.079



responsible use of AI. And uh so it's crazy, is uh?178801:43:29.279 --> 01:43:29.439



You know?178901:43:29.560 --> 01:43:33.920



People love the book and I actually I ran my179001:43:34.039 --> 01:43:37.359



book through AI and what I found was like eighty179101:43:37.439 --> 01:43:43.319



percent of the book is meetings, meetings, meetings, like like179201:43:43.520 --> 01:43:46.560



literally like people in a conference room having a meeting.179301:43:47.079 --> 01:43:50.159



Like I somehow like I made a book about meetings,179401:43:50.279 --> 01:43:53.920



and it's exciting. That's funny, you know, like people love it,179501:43:54.279 --> 01:43:59.840



like of a meeting, but people like, they freaking love179601:43:59.880 --> 01:44:03.479



the book and they I've had people say it's Ryan179701:44:03.640 --> 01:44:06.000



is the new Tom Clancy. Ryan. I have one guy's179801:44:06.039 --> 01:44:07.520



na Ryan is better than Clancy.179901:44:08.199 --> 01:44:08.399



Wow?180001:44:08.600 --> 01:44:15.920



And uh, in no way, uh, in no way disparaging.180101:44:16.039 --> 01:44:19.399



Jack Carr but you read something like the Terminal List.180201:44:20.000 --> 01:44:23.680



It's about like special Forces, and everybody in the Terminal180301:44:23.760 --> 01:44:26.680



List is good at their jobs, like the best. I'm180401:44:26.720 --> 01:44:30.159



the best sniper, I'm the best pilot, I'm a cross fitter,180501:44:30.600 --> 01:44:33.479



and I'm a whatever, you know, like I'm the best180601:44:33.600 --> 01:44:38.840



whatever ever brother. And then yeah, and now it's like180701:44:39.119 --> 01:44:44.039



it's the fifth book and freaking and now, uh god,180801:44:44.119 --> 01:44:47.479



what's his name? Kyle Reese. It's like the fifth book180901:44:47.560 --> 01:44:49.640



and Kyle Reese is thought that dude would be dead,181001:44:50.600 --> 01:44:52.640



and I know what, I know what Jack Carr is doing.181101:44:52.960 --> 01:44:55.760



He he likes James Bond, and he's like, I need181201:44:56.119 --> 01:44:59.439



James Bond, right, James Bond can't die. And that's the181301:44:59.520 --> 01:45:04.439



interesting thing about these books is that is it's that181401:45:04.520 --> 01:45:06.560



you're what you know, Kyle Reese is going to be181501:45:06.640 --> 01:45:10.199



fine at the end. So now in the beginning book,181601:45:10.239 --> 01:45:11.640



you didn't know that you thought he had a brain181701:45:11.720 --> 01:45:11.960



to him.181801:45:12.159 --> 01:45:13.960



It's all about the journey, right, It's.181901:45:13.840 --> 01:45:17.960



All about the journey. Yeah, tro what I wanted to182001:45:18.000 --> 01:45:22.640



do was a book a perfectly normal dude. Run Ahead's182101:45:22.680 --> 01:45:26.399



fun was in the army, but he's not like you know,182201:45:26.640 --> 01:45:30.079



he was in the Army thirty years ago. Right, Yeah,182301:45:30.800 --> 01:45:36.239



he's not some special forces dude. He doesn't know anything anymore.182401:45:37.000 --> 01:45:40.520



He was a finance officer, right, didn't do a damn thing.182501:45:41.880 --> 01:45:45.239



But he's thrust into this situation. He's thinking, like, you know,182601:45:46.760 --> 01:45:50.159



I was in Afghanistan. It sucked to see people fall182701:45:50.239 --> 01:45:53.000



off the plaine in Afghanistan. What if we could give182801:45:53.079 --> 01:45:55.520



this information to the government, we could stop this war182901:45:56.560 --> 01:46:01.680



or prevent it or win it. And then the scary183001:46:01.760 --> 01:46:04.000



thing becomes like, if you had a machine that could183101:46:04.039 --> 01:46:10.159



win wars, what's stopping you from starting a war? Right?183201:46:10.720 --> 01:46:15.640



Just guaranteed to win? Right? So yeah, that was kind183301:46:15.680 --> 01:46:17.560



of the path that I took with that book. And183401:46:17.600 --> 01:46:20.119



people seem to freaking love it. So yeah, it's on Amazon,183501:46:20.439 --> 01:46:23.840



wind Machine, paperback, and Kindle and on audible.183601:46:24.239 --> 01:46:25.760



And then can they get it from you directly to183701:46:25.920 --> 01:46:26.840



through your website?183801:46:27.000 --> 01:46:29.199



Oh well it's on I can't get a director from183901:46:29.239 --> 01:46:31.840



me for my website. I do have signed copies available184001:46:32.840 --> 01:46:37.119



at Bunker Branding. I have all my merch I signed184101:46:37.199 --> 01:46:39.399



fifty of them. They sold out in three days. They184201:46:39.439 --> 01:46:42.479



actually sold fifty six. By accident. I have to I184301:46:42.720 --> 01:46:44.960



ordered like six more books to be sent to me184401:46:45.159 --> 01:46:47.920



so I could sign them with gotcha, like a special184501:46:48.039 --> 01:46:51.000



note for these patient people. Then I've sent a bunker184601:46:51.039 --> 01:46:52.880



branding and I'm going to do another run of fifty184701:46:53.840 --> 01:46:57.119



because fan love them and I'm kind of a I184801:46:57.239 --> 01:47:00.199



priced everything as low as the other funny thing I184901:47:00.319 --> 01:47:02.119



found out, Like I was thinking, like, oh, I'm going185001:47:02.159 --> 01:47:04.199



to price this as low as possible so as many185101:47:04.239 --> 01:47:06.439



people want to read it. What I found was that185201:47:06.720 --> 01:47:10.840



like if I do that, like you barely make I185301:47:11.319 --> 01:47:14.159



barely make any money. Like a on a seventeen ninety185401:47:14.279 --> 01:47:16.920



nine book, I make like four dollars.185501:47:17.399 --> 01:47:20.760



Yeah, after like everything, there's not a lot of markup185601:47:20.840 --> 01:47:21.720



or margin on these things.185701:47:22.399 --> 01:47:23.840



There's not audio.185801:47:23.920 --> 01:47:26.000



It's a volume game, right Yeah.185901:47:26.119 --> 01:47:32.479



And audiobooks are even worse. Really, however, audiobooks sales are crazy, like.186001:47:33.520 --> 01:47:34.920



Like with.186101:47:37.479 --> 01:47:39.960



Because I guess more people, at least more men, they186201:47:40.079 --> 01:47:44.000



listen to audiobooks than they do reading. And so now186301:47:44.319 --> 01:47:47.640



it's like you put out an audiobook, nothing just sits186401:47:47.680 --> 01:47:49.960



there and it makes money. It's not a lot of money,186501:47:50.119 --> 01:47:52.760



but there's a lot of volume. I think.186601:47:53.640 --> 01:47:55.760



I think it's the same reason podcast got so popular.186701:47:55.760 --> 01:47:59.119



It's just you know, people busy. A lot of people186801:47:59.199 --> 01:48:00.760



commute depending on where you live, you know, there's a186901:48:00.760 --> 01:48:01.640



lot of time on the road.187001:48:02.079 --> 01:48:02.199



Uh.187101:48:02.680 --> 01:48:05.560



For example, salespeople, if you work on the trades, you know,187201:48:05.600 --> 01:48:07.640



you're swinging hammers, whatever, if you're if you're if you're187301:48:07.640 --> 01:48:09.760



by yourself as an electrician, whatever, you know, you're what187401:48:09.800 --> 01:48:11.439



you're doing. Just you know, you put your earbuds on187501:48:11.479 --> 01:48:13.359



and you just you got something going. You can hear187601:48:13.880 --> 01:48:16.079



a conversation, get some information. I think that's probably what187701:48:16.119 --> 01:48:20.039



attributed you know, what's attributed to the popularity and audiobooks,187801:48:20.079 --> 01:48:20.399



for sure.187901:48:21.199 --> 01:48:21.680



I've tried.188001:48:22.800 --> 01:48:25.319



I'm over read, like I like reading the word, I188101:48:25.439 --> 01:48:27.359



like paper I'm one of those people, you know. I188201:48:27.760 --> 01:48:30.199



don't know if I'm just nostalgic, but I can never188301:48:30.880 --> 01:48:32.800



I can never pick up my iPad, for example. I188401:48:33.079 --> 01:48:35.600



tried this, and I'll download some books and I'll try188501:48:35.640 --> 01:48:37.039



to read them, and it just puts me to sleep.188601:48:37.039 --> 01:48:38.880



There's something about me trying to stare at a screen.188701:48:39.319 --> 01:48:41.479



It doesn't have the same feel you know to me.188801:48:41.600 --> 01:48:45.199



Kindle, the Kindle. I buy everything on Kindle now. I188901:48:45.399 --> 01:48:47.159



very rarely buy paper books anymore.189001:48:47.960 --> 01:48:48.119



You know.189101:48:48.199 --> 01:48:49.800



I think what I like about the Kindle is that189201:48:50.319 --> 01:48:52.880



I can switch from because I I do I know,189301:48:52.960 --> 01:48:54.479



I don't look at but I need two hours in189401:48:54.520 --> 01:48:57.960



the treadmill every day, in five miles every day, all right,189501:48:58.119 --> 01:49:03.119



some some walking, you know, walk ron walk, and I189601:49:04.159 --> 01:49:08.159



typically read while i'm when I'm on the treadmill a189701:49:08.239 --> 01:49:10.399



peloton and I have the Kindle lap on it and189801:49:10.439 --> 01:49:13.319



I can. So people ask me like, how do you189901:49:13.399 --> 01:49:15.960



know so much stuff? Because I don't play video games190001:49:16.000 --> 01:49:16.840



and I read all the time.190101:49:16.920 --> 01:49:18.640



Yeah, you're consuming information all the time.190201:49:19.000 --> 01:49:21.720



Yeah, I'm consuming information like literally all the time. And190301:49:21.720 --> 01:49:25.000



there isn't like a blank spot in my day. There's190401:49:25.039 --> 01:49:27.800



actually there is a video I bought. It's two years ago.190501:49:27.800 --> 01:49:32.760



I bought an Xbox just to do a video about Starfield,190601:49:32.880 --> 01:49:35.279



like how to improve the AI in the video game Starfield.190701:49:35.640 --> 01:49:39.840



So on Xbox, I got Starfield, I played Starfield. I190801:49:39.920 --> 01:49:42.079



figured out how we could actually improve the AI in190901:49:42.159 --> 01:49:45.199



Starfield because people were posting about Starfield or the AI191001:49:45.399 --> 01:49:48.880



was bad. And I actually released a version of how191101:49:48.920 --> 01:49:51.079



to make Starfield better, how to make the AI better191201:49:51.119 --> 01:49:54.520



and more realistic. And then I found out there's a191301:49:54.600 --> 01:50:00.199



new game called Alien's Dark Descent, and up there I191401:50:00.319 --> 01:50:04.279



have a picture of Drake and Vasquez from Aliens. It's191501:50:04.319 --> 01:50:06.880



like a painting that scene when they were with the191601:50:06.960 --> 01:50:10.640



smart guns on this ship and Aliens. And I think191701:50:10.680 --> 01:50:13.399



I wanted to become a soldier because of that movie Aliens.191801:50:13.399 --> 01:50:15.479



I wanted to become a heavy weapons guy, machine gun.191901:50:15.760 --> 01:50:18.399



I'm a big fan of that Alien saga personally.192001:50:18.720 --> 01:50:22.479



Yeah, And like that video game is available, I'm like,192101:50:22.760 --> 01:50:26.560



I want to play that, But I'm also like, with192201:50:26.800 --> 01:50:27.359



what time?192301:50:28.680 --> 01:50:30.960



So that's my That's been my thing with video games.192401:50:31.000 --> 01:50:32.960



I'm not a post to them. I just I get192501:50:33.039 --> 01:50:37.000



bored after a while. Like I'm very I've always in192601:50:37.039 --> 01:50:38.319



my mind, I got shit to do. I got there's192701:50:38.359 --> 01:50:41.640



other things, you know. Maybe I haven't a tension deficit thing.192801:50:41.680 --> 01:50:43.880



I have no idea, but I want to move on.192901:50:44.000 --> 01:50:46.039



After a while, I'm like, Okay, I've done this, What's next?193001:50:46.439 --> 01:50:48.640



You know? I can't I can't sit there for that long.193101:50:49.079 --> 01:50:51.279



But I like it when I'm playing them. I I193201:50:51.319 --> 01:50:53.279



don't do it anymore. I mean, I have an old193301:50:53.479 --> 01:50:56.159



Xbox three sixty that's I can't even use any more anyway,193401:50:56.159 --> 01:50:58.239



It's up in the closet. I don't even use it.193501:50:58.239 --> 01:50:59.720



Me and my brother and my nephew, they are big193601:50:59.720 --> 01:51:03.399



on them, but I just can't. For some reason, I193701:51:03.479 --> 01:51:03.840



just can't.193801:51:05.319 --> 01:51:08.960



I mean it's you know, it's yeah, I don't begarudge193901:51:09.000 --> 01:51:12.520



anybody who who likes to play video games. No, no,194001:51:12.920 --> 01:51:16.960



me neither. Yeah, there is there is a consequence because194101:51:17.079 --> 01:51:20.399



like if you I've said this to people before, people,194201:51:20.600 --> 01:51:23.840



how could I do what you do? Well, stop playing194301:51:23.880 --> 01:51:26.680



video games and start reading books. I need to read194401:51:26.720 --> 01:51:31.119



books about every single subject because, like I've there there194501:51:31.159 --> 01:51:33.760



are times when I've like someone has said something and went,194601:51:33.800 --> 01:51:36.199



wait a minute, that isn't correct. I remember the book194701:51:36.239 --> 01:51:40.199



I read it from, Like I go make a video like, no,194801:51:40.319 --> 01:51:43.960



this person's wrong, that's not because I read this thing194901:51:44.119 --> 01:51:45.000



back in whatever.195001:51:45.239 --> 01:51:48.039



And yeah, we had we had a we had a195101:51:48.119 --> 01:51:50.800



friend of the family, my dad's friend when he was195201:51:51.159 --> 01:51:52.920



he was working at this company, his boss. He was195301:51:52.960 --> 01:51:56.159



World War two vet, and I remember him. We used195401:51:56.159 --> 01:51:58.000



to go to his house ald times. Kids. It's almost195501:51:58.039 --> 01:52:00.840



like a pretty much like a family member. And he195601:52:00.960 --> 01:52:04.760



had this huge library, like huge library, and somehow I195701:52:04.880 --> 01:52:08.680



gravitated towards that. And he had all these books on195801:52:08.800 --> 01:52:12.439



strategy and war and generals and you name it. Everything,195901:52:12.760 --> 01:52:14.680



and I just I just soaked all that stuff up.196001:52:15.079 --> 01:52:16.920



And when he passed away, he left me his library.196101:52:16.920 --> 01:52:17.840



I ended up with all of that.196201:52:17.960 --> 01:52:20.079



It was it was tons of books, tons of books.196301:52:20.760 --> 01:52:22.720



It was amazing. And you know what's crazy is what196401:52:22.800 --> 01:52:26.479



I found through the years though. There was some publications196501:52:26.520 --> 01:52:29.840



that he had from way back that when I revisited,196601:52:30.760 --> 01:52:33.279



let's say, the revised versions or whatever, some of the196701:52:33.319 --> 01:52:35.359



information was changed or taken out. And I never thought196801:52:35.359 --> 01:52:37.039



that was a thing. I always thought that was just like, ah,196901:52:37.079 --> 01:52:40.359



that was bullshit, conspiracy. But over time, some of this197001:52:40.479 --> 01:52:43.760



information was rewritten and it was not the same, and197101:52:43.880 --> 01:52:46.840



I noticed that it was really really weird, and you know,197201:52:46.920 --> 01:52:49.000



this could be another rabbit hole we could dive down later,197301:52:49.079 --> 01:52:52.279



but I'm just I personally saw that and I was197401:52:52.439 --> 01:52:53.840



I was really, I was really shocked.197501:52:53.880 --> 01:52:54.159



I didn't.197601:52:54.159 --> 01:52:56.239



I was like, wow, why would they change that? Why197701:52:56.279 --> 01:53:00.439



would they want to you know, alter that information? Yeah,197801:53:00.520 --> 01:53:02.560



you know, I have no idea why, but it does happen.197901:53:02.760 --> 01:53:05.720



It does happen. So it's like, over time, how can198001:53:05.760 --> 01:53:08.560



we always rely on that information, you know, as it198101:53:08.640 --> 01:53:13.199



gets revised and rewritten. After all, the book I'm listening198201:53:13.239 --> 01:53:13.920



to right.198301:53:13.840 --> 01:53:16.800



Now about the Apollo program. Yeah, and I think the198401:53:16.840 --> 01:53:21.600



book was originally written in the nineteen eighties, and they198501:53:21.800 --> 01:53:24.640



said right up front in the in the audiobook that198601:53:24.840 --> 01:53:28.800



we changed this stuff because, like, everybody has a computer now,198701:53:28.880 --> 01:53:30.920



so we no longer have to at your plaint what198801:53:31.039 --> 01:53:33.359



a computer is, right, So we cut that out. We also,198901:53:33.600 --> 01:53:37.680



you know, there were things that that it was weird199001:53:38.439 --> 01:53:40.399



just seeing like you know, I'm old enough to remember199101:53:40.439 --> 01:53:44.239



smoking on an airplane. Yeah, right, like that was and199201:53:44.640 --> 01:53:46.680



it is kind of weird when you watch something like199301:53:48.439 --> 01:53:52.079



Apollo thirteen. I wonder if Apollo thirteen could even get199401:53:52.159 --> 01:53:56.840



made today accurately. I don't know. Is the second question199501:53:56.880 --> 01:54:02.560



light up a cigarette, you get an R rating true? True?199601:54:03.479 --> 01:54:06.479



So like could you even make Apaulla thirteen today? That's199701:54:06.520 --> 01:54:09.880



that's a pretty interesting question. Probably we do, right, rewrite199801:54:09.920 --> 01:54:12.199



history to modern sensibilities.199901:54:11.880 --> 01:54:14.039



Yeah, we do, unfortunately, I mean I think we'll just200001:54:14.119 --> 01:54:16.479



let it be how it is. I mean, it's it's200101:54:16.520 --> 01:54:18.319



a way to you know, you're just it's a way200201:54:18.359 --> 01:54:20.239



to look back at how things were and you can200301:54:20.359 --> 01:54:22.000



learn from that and not saying you have to repeat it,200401:54:22.119 --> 01:54:23.479



but hey, this is how it was.200501:54:24.279 --> 01:54:25.760



Deal with it. That's all there is to it.200601:54:25.840 --> 01:54:29.520



That's what That's what I think. It's ridiculous. You know200701:54:29.560 --> 01:54:32.520



what I'm gonna I'm gonna have to end it. I'm sorry, Ryan,200801:54:32.720 --> 01:54:33.199
