00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.300
 Hey everybody, I wanted to share this episode with you where I was a guest on Shades of Jade podcast hosted by Samantha Jade

2
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:10.340
 Waldrick, we had a great conversation

3
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:15.580
 We touched on everything current events and politics and I believe that you're gonna really enjoy this

4
00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:16.560
 Hey everyone

5
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.300
 My guest today is George fonts host of world ablaze with George fonts a show that delivers unfiltered no bullshit

6
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:27.240
 conversations and commentary about politics news and geopolitics

7
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:36.460
 With the mostly center often right-leaning stance George delivers analysis and informed opinions that cut through the noise as he presents facts

8
00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:41.280
 Data and thought-provoking commentary with both guests and solo episodes

9
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:47.400
 George is an avid researcher and he strives to really understand situations from opposing viewpoints

10
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:55.060
 George has also been fortunate enough to be accepted by many in the Intel community and has interviewed some prominent figures in that space

11
00:00:55.060 --> 00:01:01.500
 Through his interactions and conversations with Emmy award-winning journalists authors and intelligence professionals

12
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.019
 He has been able to walk away with real knowledge and information

13
00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:11.420
 That often challenges narratives as he also takes deep dives into subjects to either confirm or dismiss

14
00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:13.120
 What's being pushed in the media?

15
00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:17.080
 Welcome to the show George. I want to thank you for being here today. Thank you

16
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:19.540
 Thank you for having me. Of course

17
00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:24.560
 Would you be able to tell the audience about yourself and what you are working on?

18
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.280
 Sure, it's a big question. Honestly with everything I've done

19
00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:32.940
 About me while specifically let's just do this

20
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:37.620
 Let's start with kind of the journey into where I got into podcasting would probably be the most relevant, right?

21
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:38.580
 That might be interesting

22
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:42.580
 But I'll just say this I was a basically always kind of a serial entrepreneurial

23
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.960
preneur not all that's penural in spirit, but I was a serial serial entrepreneur

24
00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:54.540
 So, you know built six different businesses ended up staying within the entertainment industry and where I provide

25
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.880
 Production, right? So four events concerts, etc

26
00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:07.740
 could be corporate events, whatever and so I've stayed in that been doing that has been my longest standing business for 27 years or so and

27
00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:13.720
 Basically one day kovat happened right that whole era and shut down the whole industry and so, you know

28
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:18.160
 I was in one of those industries where it was it was really all artsy people

29
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:22.640
 So with that comes more leftist leaning opinions, which is fine by me

30
00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:25.940
 That's not a big deal, but I had to hold my tongue on a lot of things

31
00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:31.320
 So in fear of losing a customer right a client or you know creating a situation on a job

32
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:34.320
 And so I've always stayed to myself in the kind of politics and whatnot

33
00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:39.760
 so but the Kovat era taught us one thing is that everyone seemed that or they felt they can get behind a mic and

34
00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:41.740
 Say whatever they want and thought that they were

35
00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:45.920
 You know their voice mattered and many times it does, you know free speech, etc

36
00:02:46.540 --> 00:02:48.760
 But I heard a lot of people getting it wrong

37
00:02:49.160 --> 00:02:51.900
 They were saying a lot of things that were not correct

38
00:02:52.780 --> 00:02:58.260
 That contradicted the facts data and actual reports seems like they were just gleaming headlines and not really getting down to the bottom

39
00:02:58.260 --> 00:03:05.640
 Of what was really happening and so that combined with the the push in social media of the time because nobody else had anything to do

40
00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:10.320
 Right. It was really the only way that you can connect you're either doing zoom meetings zoom calls podcasts

41
00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:12.400
 Or you're just trying to connect in social media

42
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.920
 So in hearing all these people eventually I said, you know what my brother's been doing it for like 11 years, right?

43
00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:21.120
 He's been a podcaster for a long time. He's an OG and I thought well

44
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.380
 I'm hearing all these people

45
00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:25.100
 Honestly, and I'm not sure where my language is on your show

46
00:03:25.100 --> 00:03:28.960
 But basically talking a lot of crap will say that if you can say whatever you want

47
00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:34.720
 But you know, they're all talking there all this BS and I'm like

48
00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:39.720
 you know what if this person could get behind the microphone and say whatever they want and and think that they've got

49
00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:46.500
 It right or you know who their pseudo intellectual delivery with big words and run-on sentences and what what not I was like

50
00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:50.940
 Well, then why can't I write and so that's how I started it motivated me first

51
00:03:50.940 --> 00:03:53.560
 I was you know, kind of a guest host of my brother's show for a bit

52
00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:57.880
 Okay, and then I just kind of branched off and I went more into the political realm

53
00:03:57.880 --> 00:04:00.460
 He was always like news stories some politics, you know

54
00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:05.960
 he's kind of in the middle of like current events news news oddities like stories you wouldn't really hear about and so

55
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:08.860
 I gravitated more to geopolitics

56
00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:14.580
 I was really in a geopolitics and when it came to domestic political issues like when the fires in California were going on and

57
00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:18.019
 Trump and Gavin Newsom were going back and forth about the water and turning on the spigot

58
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.700
 Hold on Gavin stop lying, you know, you know, this whole Delta smelting goes back to like 2012 or whatever

59
00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:26.900
 I know okay, like I know you weren't governor at the time

60
00:04:26.900 --> 00:04:31.360
 It really went back but you know what was happening and stop saying you don't and so I went through that whole thing

61
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.340
 and so I got into going into

62
00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:40.240
 Delivering deep dive type podcasts on certain like single subject issues and then I started talking about three topics and then I really

63
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:47.260
 Started gravitating into geopolitics and you know, and that's where we are now with the show world ablaze with George Fonson

64
00:04:47.260 --> 00:04:51.580
 You know a lot of people was asked me was the world really ablaze when you could change the name and you know

65
00:04:51.580 --> 00:04:55.000
 The reason I came with the name wasn't because I thought the world was literally burning

66
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.020
 I thought it was a dual meaning

67
00:04:56.020 --> 00:05:01.160
 I thought that it would give me room to work with other people as in have a person as a guest on the show who

68
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.640
 I thought was setting the world ablaze through their works like an author or an artist or whatever

69
00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:07.200
 So there is a dual meaning to it

70
00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:14.200
 But unfortunately most everything we discussed has really been about the world being on fire. So you know almost literally. Yeah

71
00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:17.040
 So yeah, that's a little bit about you know how I got to where I'm at

72
00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:20.560
 Yeah, yeah, that's cool. I

73
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.340
 just I just got into podcasting because I

74
00:05:25.380 --> 00:05:33.420
 Might I have no complaints about my job. It's a very good job, but it doesn't keep my mind busy and

75
00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:37.360
 Gotcha if if my mind isn't busy if I don't have

76
00:05:38.900 --> 00:05:44.440
 Something to work on in my in my head while I'm doing other work. I

77
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:52.380
 It just doesn't it doesn't work for me I'm miserable and so I'm like, okay, well what can I what kind of hobby can I do to

78
00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:01.020
 Kind of burn off this extra stuff and you know, I like I like a lot of other things but in my head

79
00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:03.840
 I mean, I'm always keeping up with politics anyways

80
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.780
 So it's like well, usually if there's something happening somebody's asking me to summarize a situation

81
00:06:10.780 --> 00:06:13.980
 So why don't I just start recording it, you know, so

82
00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:17.760
 Cool. Yeah. Yeah, so I do I

83
00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:21.300
 do like the news update or the

84
00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:28.540
 The rundowns or whatever of what's happening and then also have guests and get their their opinions on things

85
00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:34.140
 So we're slightly similar there for sure. Yeah. Yeah sounds like works not stimulating enough, right?

86
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.240
 Well, you can't have the conversations you want to have so

87
00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:39.700
 Sure, you are with the podcast talking guys like me

88
00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.420
 so hopefully this is a

89
00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:47.940
 Conversation but um, yeah, no, it sounds very similar. I I kind of you know feel the same way

90
00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:49.980
 I think with me was more that you know

91
00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:55.360
 I really couldn't express an opinion and most of us with certain jobs if you're in government or around, you know

92
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:01.120
 Certain companies for example that are very connected. You can't I mean you just can't and we've seen during kovat

93
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:07.520
 Where people were cancelled or their livelihoods stripped away and even after we got through it. Yeah return to the job and

94
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:14.440
 People are going about 30 years about someone who you know got a little too drunk for one night and maybe got in the car

95
00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:18.820
 When they shouldn't and all of a sudden their whole life is taken away and I'm not an advocate for driving driving, by the way

96
00:07:18.820 --> 00:07:26.300
 I'm just using this example and it's like, you know, we just seen we just seen the cancel culture

97
00:07:26.780 --> 00:07:30.460
 Exacerbate and just really build on itself and then now, you know, it's kind of died out

98
00:07:30.460 --> 00:07:36.360
 But not really because now we're seeing this weird podcast war thing and people fighting each other and the MAGA in fighting

99
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.260
 I'm like, you know, it's just coming full circle. It's just switch from one side to the other

100
00:07:40.260 --> 00:07:45.380
 And so it's like is it just you know, is it really like the old saying is it?

101
00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:49.560
 You know two sides of the same coin. It's starting to seem that way. It really is now it's

102
00:07:50.180 --> 00:07:55.780
 Politics is a weird thing right now. It's gotten so polarized and I don't think I've ever seen in my life before

103
00:07:55.780 --> 00:08:00.820
 You know, I mean living through the Clinton era and you got the Bush era Obama etc

104
00:08:00.820 --> 00:08:06.280
 I mean we've seen some very flamboyant presidents in terms of their personalities like big personalities, right?

105
00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:09.460
 Able to get behind a mic and move a crowd, but these days

106
00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:15.100
 We've never seen anything like Trump since 2016 and and that totally spawned everybody around

107
00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:18.400
 They upended everything and whether you like him or not. I

108
00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:24.120
 Think it was a good and bad. You had a person who talked straight didn't care. Just just said was on his mind

109
00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:28.300
 The byproduct of that being he's not very presidential which right?

110
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.280
 You know, I like some of the things he does but I wish he was a little bit more of a representative to be quite

111
00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:34.720
 honest and

112
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:38.559
 That that caused everybody else to go well, oh look at look at what's working

113
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:43.799
 I'm gonna try to do the same thing and it just it's just spinning out of control and now you can't even have a

114
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.760
 conversation that's not necessarily related to politics anymore and for those who want to ignore it while

115
00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:53.540
 Unfortunately, you're starting to see the fruits of well your actions and that is you know

116
00:08:53.540 --> 00:08:58.380
 Put your head in your sand and the sand does not fix the situation. It doesn't make it go go away

117
00:08:58.380 --> 00:09:01.540
 It's like hiding under the blanket when the monster staring at you from the door

118
00:09:01.540 --> 00:09:04.660
 Monster still there you're gonna have to deal with it at some point. So

119
00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:08.620
 It's unfortunate that we're bombarded by it by it

120
00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:15.240
 But I think most people should start to actually take a side and realize where they stand and I think that would help America right now

121
00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:18.420
 Determine its future will know

122
00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:25.420
 Where the majority of the opinion is versus those who are always sitting on the fence trying to play it safe or fear of

123
00:09:25.420 --> 00:09:26.740
 You know

124
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.420
 XYZ, you know bring it job relationship friends, etc

125
00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:36.700
 But at some point you're gonna have to get there and the way things are going if we're looking at what's going on geopolitically

126
00:09:38.060 --> 00:09:43.960
 In America, just not you know, really winning any favor anybody's favorite these days as it's or so it seems

127
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.320
 You're gonna have to you're gonna have to push, you know draw a hard line

128
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.300
 You're definitely gonna have to stand on on your laurels

129
00:09:50.300 --> 00:09:54.820
 You got to stand for what you actually believe and I think that's where we're at right now

130
00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:57.120
 That's saying pick up pitchforks and start stabbing each other

131
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.080
 but you know

132
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.120
 You should be able to have an opinion express it and have a real conversation and not just you know

133
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:08.060
 Sling insults and and these pseudo debates that we see online which are not debates whatsoever

134
00:10:08.060 --> 00:10:10.220
 They're just shouting matches and right, you know

135
00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:13.320
 It's about well who could dunk on the next guy and who's the funniest and they go look

136
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:19.100
 I won the debate because everyone was laughing at you. Well, you you also didn't even talk about the subject matter whatsoever

137
00:10:19.100 --> 00:10:24.800
 So right, you know, I like having these type of conversations because we can actually address the actual issues

138
00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:29.260
 So anyway, that's that's my opinion. I kind of stated things at the moment

139
00:10:30.040 --> 00:10:31.420
 That could change tomorrow

140
00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:38.500
 Right. I know see and that's the that is one thing that people don't seem to realize is it's normal to change your mind

141
00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:44.160
 And I mean some some of it's kind of fishy when everybody's changing their mind in a specific way

142
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:48.660
 But at the exact same time saying the exact same thing on social media. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

143
00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:51.180
 It's almost exact same wording with some of them

144
00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:52.700
 Um

145
00:10:53.600 --> 00:11:00.380
 So what worries me is the the midterms I so this week actually though

146
00:11:00.380 --> 00:11:05.720
 It seems like I don't I don't know and I definitely want your opinion on this. It seems like

147
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.640
 Now that Pam bondi's gone things are a little more things are happening with the Department of Justice

148
00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:16.060
 it seems like they're actually getting moving on some of the

149
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.380
 issues that people

150
00:11:18.380 --> 00:11:21.700
 Have been concerned about domestically

151
00:11:22.420 --> 00:11:27.780
 but with and so I hope that this I hope we start to see some progress with that but

152
00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:33.880
 The infighting with the Republican Party, it's like you guys really need to get it together

153
00:11:33.880 --> 00:11:39.500
 Yes, absolutely. We really don't have that much time. I was just talking to my husband about like, okay, so

154
00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:44.280
 2027 we're gonna be I'm gonna I do caucus. I

155
00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:50.520
 You know, we'll do it last year or last for last caucus I did a speech I plan on doing it again for whichever candidate

156
00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:55.540
 I choose to support and and that starts pretty early it starts, you know a

157
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.960
 Long time before the actual election when you start getting ready for that and trying to get people to attend

158
00:12:02.660 --> 00:12:09.280
 Since ours is the first in the country. But anyway, so you really don't have that much time and I

159
00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:14.260
 feel like a lot of time has been wasted so far this first term with

160
00:12:14.280 --> 00:12:16.220
 bad cabinet picks

161
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.380
 Congress just I

162
00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:20.740
 Don't know doing fuck all

163
00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:26.540
 I mean they have done some good things, but um, I guess yeah, what do you think?

164
00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:31.900
 What do you think the midterms are gonna look like interesting question because I've been pondering this and

165
00:12:31.900 --> 00:12:36.160
 Unfortunately, I haven't paid enough attention with everything's going on in the Middle East

166
00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:41.960
 But that doesn't mean I've necessarily been ignoring it. Well, we're what I've seen is I

167
00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:47.900
 Think you're right. I think the Republican Party needs to get their shit together

168
00:12:47.900 --> 00:12:52.520
 I look, you know, you've had control of the house. You had the majority and you've done nothing with it

169
00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:55.640
 Instead you're trying to eat your own and fight each other like, you know

170
00:12:55.640 --> 00:13:00.080
 We're attacking people like Thomas Massey whether you like him or not. You want to call him a rhino, etc

171
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.460
 He's still you know

172
00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:07.360
 On your team and and it's and it's up to you to to come to terms

173
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:12.620
 So that you can get the votes to move policy forward and and that's what they haven't been doing

174
00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:16.600
 I mean, they're dropping the ball completely. It seems like they were more together when

175
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:23.220
 The Democrat Party had you know control for the last no previous 12 years before, you know, right 12 13 years

176
00:13:23.220 --> 00:13:29.380
 Whatever it was and and so they seem to be very unified then but now I don't know if the party is unified

177
00:13:29.380 --> 00:13:33.660
 Because I don't think it's a single party anymore. I really think it's a Republican Party and a MAGA party

178
00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:34.500
 That's my opinion

179
00:13:34.500 --> 00:13:40.700
 I think that MAGA needs to be its own party and sure that might be splitting the conservative vote

180
00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:44.800
 But we could also ask the question. Are they all really true conservatives anymore, right?

181
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.780
 It seems like it's more of a fight of

182
00:13:46.780 --> 00:13:52.660
 Conservative liberal and independent is what it really is. And so we can call that independent party

183
00:13:52.660 --> 00:13:56.180
 Maybe it's MAGA. I don't know maybe we give it a different name

184
00:13:56.180 --> 00:14:02.020
 but it really seems like America right now is shifting and focusing more on the

185
00:14:02.020 --> 00:14:07.720
 Independent nature of their status in terms of what they want to be identified as because you know

186
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.440
 If we're going to be honest, there might be some stuff from the Democrat Party that makes sense

187
00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:15.540
 Maybe not a lot depending on who you are, but some stuff, right?

188
00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:19.400
 We can't ignore everything and then on the right there's some stuff that makes sense

189
00:14:19.400 --> 00:14:21.880
 There's some stuff. We're like what the fuck are you guys doing, right?

190
00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:26.520
 So yeah, I think a lot of people are moving to the center right now

191
00:14:26.520 --> 00:14:32.000
 and it to me the split is I can't tell if the split is necessarily in the Republican Party or if it's

192
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.280
 America going like both you guys suck and

193
00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:38.560
 We don't want to support either of you now as far as midterms for the Republican Party

194
00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:41.920
 we can say they're dropping the ball, but yet we're also seeing the

195
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:48.900
 Weaponization of gerrymandering which I understand is exactly completely legal every 10 years. You got to do it

196
00:14:48.900 --> 00:14:53.800
 I get it but the way it's been going about it if you're looking at like Chicago or Illinois, for example

197
00:14:54.740 --> 00:15:00.760
 How that map looks where you have this weird sliver here and then it just kind of angles and it's like none of it

198
00:15:00.760 --> 00:15:03.420
 Makes sense, right? Virginia just got away with it

199
00:15:03.420 --> 00:15:03.700
 All right

200
00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:07.820
 So we lost some seats there as far as Republican Party and everybody's gonna go well, look what Trump did in Texas

201
00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:11.100
 Oh, you guys are a bunch of idiots because I had nothing to do with Trump

202
00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:13.840
 That was a Supreme Court ruling under the Biden

203
00:15:14.280 --> 00:15:17.240
 Administration and a lot of people didn't even realize what that gerrymandering was about

204
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:21.540
 It was because what happened and if you I'll find the notes and send it to you

205
00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:25.100
 But what happened this was an actual court case where the

206
00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:28.660
 There were minorities that got together, right? So

207
00:15:28.660 --> 00:15:30.740
 Let's say, you know

208
00:15:31.880 --> 00:15:32.700
 Let's say

209
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.840
 It was like that. I think was Asian community

210
00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:38.900
 the black community and

211
00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:45.660
 I forgot which other one but what happened is they work together to try to represent themselves as one singular minority

212
00:15:46.420 --> 00:15:51.660
 To break apart which was seen to be mostly white districts, right?

213
00:15:51.880 --> 00:15:55.440
 And they use they use that as a tool to break the districts up now

214
00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:00.460
 The courts ruled the Supreme Court ruled that what that was not constituted like you can't do that

215
00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:04.540
 You can't combine minorities to say you were one representative minority when you're represented

216
00:16:04.540 --> 00:16:06.620
 representing multiple people

217
00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:11.100
 You know in this movement, for example, like you have African-american you have you have people from India

218
00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:14.300
 You have Asians you have like you can't you appeal from Mexico

219
00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:21.640
 You can't come you can't say all these different factions or different groups are now one group and they're combining their forces to try

220
00:16:21.640 --> 00:16:28.960
 To break apart districts in order to gain favor or or push it in their favor rather and so that's what actually happened in Texas

221
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:35.200
 So if there was an order that they had to redistrict based on the Supreme Court ruling it had zero to do with Trump

222
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:39.640
 A lot of people attributed to Trump because he said, you know, well, we need to make the state more red

223
00:16:39.640 --> 00:16:40.840
 We need to do this

224
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:46.420
 Yeah, he runs his mouth, but he had nothing to do with that gerrymandering that happened in Texas

225
00:16:46.420 --> 00:16:48.880
 I was already a court order from

226
00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:51.180
 Biden's administration, you know under his right anyway

227
00:16:52.820 --> 00:16:56.040
 We've seen this happen recently in Virginia was a weaponized version of it

228
00:16:56.040 --> 00:16:57.560
 Let's just be honest the way they're going about it

229
00:16:57.560 --> 00:17:02.800
 Yeah, you have Illinois has always been bad and then California recently I'm in California so I can speak to this

230
00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:08.480
 Okay, so we have like let's let's say six million registered Republicans only three million came out to fucking vote

231
00:17:09.260 --> 00:17:13.640
 On prop 50 and so the problem I'm seeing is some of these blue states

232
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:19.200
 It seems like maybe Republicans or conservatives don't feel their vote matters because historically these blue states really don't

233
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:21.800
 But we're

234
00:17:21.800 --> 00:17:25.780
 Giving it away. So I guess in a long about way of answer your question

235
00:17:25.780 --> 00:17:29.960
 Are the Republic is the Republican Party or conservatives? Let's just not say the Republican Party

236
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.040
 Let's just say this are conservatives. For example, let's say you and I if we're conservatives

237
00:17:34.040 --> 00:17:38.030
 I don't know if you completely are but you seem to lean that way. Yes, if we're conservatives and

238
00:17:39.580 --> 00:17:46.460
 We don't vote for the things we're complaining about you're you're in essence literally giving it to the other side

239
00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:55.300
 So therefore you can't complain if you took no action and this is lesson that should have been learned in California the prop 50 is

240
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.700
 If all the conservatives actually voted

241
00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:07.560
 This never would have happened because not enough people from the left or the or the Democrat Party actually showed up to overturn

242
00:18:08.180 --> 00:18:13.940
 They wouldn't be able to overturn the votes if all registered conservatives Republicans actually got a vote

243
00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:20.680
 It didn't make sense like what were you too busy doing that you couldn't protect your district and

244
00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:23.220
 So here we are now with the majority

245
00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:31.800
 Blue state in terms of the districting and representation. I know it's being challenged right now, but you're correct in

246
00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:36.580
 Yeah, we're not doing anything. There's too much infighting. There's too much inaction

247
00:18:36.580 --> 00:18:41.720
 we're gonna we're basically shooting ourselves in the foot here and

248
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.580
 We're I don't think I think we always need a balanced government

249
00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:48.280
 So I'm not saying it's it's okay to be majority red or majority blue

250
00:18:48.280 --> 00:18:54.160
 But if we don't have enough representation on either side, then I think the country just goes to shit

251
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:59.440
 Just like what we saw under you know, the Obama era. All right

252
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:06.260
 He was a great representative in terms of how he spoke but there are some policies that absolutely made no damn sense whatsoever

253
00:19:06.260 --> 00:19:07.600
 Right whatsoever

254
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:14.480
 You know, for example preferential treatment to immigrants like a certain immigrant, you know, like from from Somalia, right?

255
00:19:14.520 --> 00:19:19.480
 He let that happen. He was he was the person who started opening up the borders

256
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:26.960
 his his appeasement to Iran and how we treated them and giving them 17.5 billion and then you know as that went under into the

257
00:19:28.300 --> 00:19:32.080
 Biden administration right then there was another 60 billion. So between the two overall

258
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:37.140
 I think it was about 160 billion or whatever that they actually released assets of and gave money to Iran

259
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.960
 Okay, that was you guys. I was on you. We could also talk about Russia and Ukraine

260
00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:46.700
 Neither of them did anything to stop him. In fact, oh

261
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.140
 Obama kind of just like I was like, hey, whatever and then

262
00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:55.720
 If you look at what Biden did he did actually nothing at all

263
00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.500
 So, you know, I can't blame everything on them blame a lot on them

264
00:20:01.040 --> 00:20:03.580
 There's some things Trump did that is questionable

265
00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:07.720
 But what I can say is good about Trump is his foreign policy the way he's been handling it

266
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:14.620
 Has been good whether you agree with him taking Maduro or what's going on in the Middle East right now, etc

267
00:20:14.620 --> 00:20:20.620
 He is taking action where everybody else didn't act and we can go all the way back to Carter when it comes to Iran

268
00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:22.540
 for example, so

269
00:20:23.040 --> 00:20:28.580
 Conservatives dropping the ball midterms are coming. We're not doing anything about it the infighting ridiculous the podcast wars

270
00:20:28.580 --> 00:20:31.440
 I just don't understand it to me. It's like a bunch of political soap operas

271
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:35.440
 Like what are you guys doing? Nothing to talk about is relevant or matters

272
00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:38.100
 Right, right

273
00:20:38.100 --> 00:20:46.160
 Sorry, I know it's long. Yeah. No, I I mean I feel like so many of the podcasts and maybe it's because I

274
00:20:47.100 --> 00:20:49.040
 I don't even know why I say maybe

275
00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:55.960
 You know a lot of it's just the clicks, you know, it's they they talk about like the obsession with Erica Kirk

276
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:58.980
 Right. I just it's like okay. Well, that's easy for you to

277
00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:06.620
 Get clicks if you're gonna talk about anything dramatic like that and it's and I just

278
00:21:06.620 --> 00:21:07.560
 So do you not?

279
00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:13.980
 There's so much other stuff to talk about but yeah, it just seems like they're taking the easy way out to talk about that

280
00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:15.040
 or

281
00:21:15.040 --> 00:21:16.740
 bash on Israel or

282
00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:24.080
 Or whatever. I think I think sounds because it's easy, right? Yeah. I mean the average person

283
00:21:25.560 --> 00:21:31.380
 Including myself, I'm not saying I'm above average but the average person you and I for example, how busy are we in our lives right now?

284
00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:33.880
 Super busy, right?

285
00:21:34.420 --> 00:21:40.180
 Yeah, and so how often do you have time to do any real deep dive on anything like I do

286
00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:45.200
 I take I make a point to do it like that's what my show is about but not everybody does you know, right?

287
00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:48.400
 You're taking kids to soccer practice karate

288
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.140
 Whatever you have school or you know have kids or not maybe have different, you know different communities

289
00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:57.860
 You're part of you're remodeling your house. You're doing all these things. You have a job that's demanding and

290
00:21:58.900 --> 00:22:01.760
 You're just seeing Oh Fox News said, you know

291
00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:06.120
 US bombed Iran. Well, that sucks. We shouldn't be in any war. Why are we there?

292
00:22:06.340 --> 00:22:11.340
 All right, or you know Trump said screw the UK and F you cure starmer. Okay

293
00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:16.260
 yeah, and they just they just read the headline and take for face value and move on and

294
00:22:16.260 --> 00:22:19.440
 I think people are wanting to trust

295
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:24.100
 Those are putting themselves out there, okay, and I'm gonna put you in the category for example because you know

296
00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:28.220
 You go over the news you go over your weekly, you know, hey, this would happen for the week

297
00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:29.800
 And I'm gonna present it

298
00:22:29.800 --> 00:22:32.920
 So they want to trust people like you they want to trust people like me for example

299
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:37.640
 And and they want to believe that we're doing our due diligence and telling the truth, right?

300
00:22:38.560 --> 00:22:38.960
 unfortunately

301
00:22:41.100 --> 00:22:44.740
 These podcasters that we're talking about and I'll let you name them cuz it's your show

302
00:22:44.740 --> 00:22:48.880
 But the podcasters in question, for example, they're not doing that

303
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.000
 I think they're more concerned about

304
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:56.040
 Remaining relevant in terms of their popularity. You see how they've changed positions

305
00:22:56.860 --> 00:23:02.040
 Multiple times actually, you know in Biden's administration as well as in Trump's administration

306
00:23:02.040 --> 00:23:08.400
 And so where's the consistency it's very easy to tell that these people are literally grifters. That's just what it is

307
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.820
 They're more concerned with staying ahead of the game in terms of collecting the check

308
00:23:11.820 --> 00:23:17.700
 Because likes and clicks be their pockets and if they're not doing that then you know

309
00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:19.360
 I don't think they want to fall behind is what it is

310
00:23:19.360 --> 00:23:26.700
 But in doing so they're ignoring what their actual duty is and I'm gonna say it's their duty because they presented themselves this way

311
00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:33.960
 They present themselves as truth-tellers. They present themselves as people who want to get down to the bottom of things who are

312
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:36.680
 independent journalist

313
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:45.420
 People who claim to be investigators and yet they're not doing that and like you said they're taking the easy road

314
00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:49.220
 They don't want the pushback they don't want the challenge

315
00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:53.420
 They just want to stay relevant and then the top of the food chain in terms of podcast is concerned

316
00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:56.440
 They want to be in that top 100 top 200 and that's all they're concerned with

317
00:23:57.560 --> 00:24:01.700
 So I've always said the truth is unpopular and unfortunately, you know

318
00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:05.160
 Hey, if that means a long road for me or you then you know

319
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:09.300
 Maybe so be it but I'd rather be judged on my quality of work and you know

320
00:24:09.300 --> 00:24:14.180
 What I'll leave behind and what I say rather than someone who's called a liar years later going wait a minute

321
00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:22.800
 We just never realized it right, right? Yeah. Yeah, so that's my opinion on that situation. Yeah

322
00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:24.360
 Yeah fighting stupid

323
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:32.160
 It it really is and it I mean it just doesn't it doesn't look good either. It's I don't know just

324
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.440
 It's almost becoming

325
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:38.980
 reality TV all of you know, like the the pumped-up drama the

326
00:24:40.260 --> 00:24:43.200
 Immaturity of it all it's just spot-on

327
00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:48.940
 It is it's a soap opera. Yeah, right. Yeah, that's

328
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:54.880
 That's what it's turning into that. I mean, there's a lot of people that I used to listen to that I want specific

329
00:24:57.580 --> 00:25:03.740
 Candice and Tucker those are the two that I am I used to listen to and it's just like alright what is

330
00:25:04.540 --> 00:25:10.160
 What is going on here? It's sad because I am I used to like Candice in terms of you know

331
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.060
 When she first came out, I don't know her complete history, but there was a time

332
00:25:13.560 --> 00:25:20.520
 Where it seemed she was really taking the the road of I'm gonna expose this because the people need to know, right?

333
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.720
 That was that was kind of her thing. Yeah, and now it's like I know the truth

334
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:27.040
 But I'm only gonna tell you next week

335
00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:30.660
 Right and and I'm looking out for you and and you know, oh my god

336
00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:35.960
 There's this crazy plot that I have all the details on but next week you got to wait because I'm going on vacation

337
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:40.260
 I'm like hold on if you really knew actually knew let's just be logical about this

338
00:25:40.260 --> 00:25:41.520
 You're really new and care

339
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:47.080
 Would you not involve the authorities would this not be done already like why would you use this as a way to hook?

340
00:25:47.080 --> 00:25:53.140
 Your audience reason is like you said it's a giant soul proper. I've told many people like she's literally

341
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:59.140
 She's literally right now. Her whole show is an interactive Nancy Drew novel. That's all it is

342
00:25:59.140 --> 00:26:03.080
 You know, and yeah, and that's what it's turned into unfortunately as far as Tucker

343
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.120
 The guy's smart. I don't know where he's going. I'm not sure

344
00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:09.560
 What's happening there? Yeah

345
00:26:09.560 --> 00:26:12.220
 But that's another case of

346
00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:17.740
 You know people trusted him, right? Yeah, and you got a question the motives and people will believe them

347
00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:20.480
 Just like they will believe a Dave Smith for example

348
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:26.520
 You know and I'm not going to but anyway as far as Dave Smith's concern, it's like, you know

349
00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:32.820
 I'll just say he's half right half the time. Yeah, and there's a lot of very surface level information understanding there

350
00:26:32.820 --> 00:26:38.520
 I think his domestic stuff is cool. He gets a lot of that right, but his geopolitics is way off and

351
00:26:38.520 --> 00:26:43.440
 But the danger in that as I was my point being is the danger in all of that is

352
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:47.920
 Don't present yourself as a subject matter expert if you're not it's okay to say

353
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:52.640
 I'm not sure and then have the guest who is a subject matter expert on your show

354
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:59.950
 I think that's more credible that I mean to me that's the right thing to do and and presenting facts and data to you to your

355
00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:02.810
 to your fan base or audience and

356
00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:08.120
 Then you can all then you it's okay to say this is my opinion don't present it as a fact

357
00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:12.020
 But these people aren't really doing that. Yeah, you know and and there's the danger

358
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:18.680
 Yeah, so yeah, I think you're spot-on. It's a soap opera. Yeah, it really is what turned into is

359
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:25.680
 So yeah, it's funny. You mentioned Dave Smith because I for him. Isn't he a comedian also or no, that's debatable

360
00:27:26.260 --> 00:27:32.880
 Okay, and well, and then I'm sorry. I'm just being asked. No, that's so that's how he started. He's a comedian. Okay

361
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:38.040
 He knows Joe Rogan hit their friends. They're all that's what I thought. Yeah. Yeah, and so

362
00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:41.860
 He was he was a he was a correspondent on Fox for a while, too

363
00:27:41.860 --> 00:27:47.220
 So on Fox News, he would give his you know, political opinions on on domestic policies or whatever

364
00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:53.540
 But the reality the real push he ever got was being on Joe Rogan show and and after that happened

365
00:27:53.540 --> 00:27:59.440
 That's kind of how he just got bigger and bigger and bigger. But yeah, he's a comedian. He's part of that crew

366
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:06.940
 Okay. So, okay. Yeah, he um, I was thinking he said something once that rubbed me the wrong way I in

367
00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:11.040
 Like you said, I can't remember what it was but um

368
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:13.740
 Let's say Tim Dillon

369
00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:20.580
 He's another one that I'll listen to but then he'll have something wrong and he'll go into it for like 20 minutes

370
00:28:21.320 --> 00:28:25.700
 Ranting and it might be funny, but it's like okay, but you don't have it, right?

371
00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:31.680
 Like you didn't understand the situation. There's something incorrect about this and now your audience is believing

372
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:37.540
 Your misunderstanding of a situation or a policy or how something happened and

373
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.820
 Yeah, I think I think there's been a danger with the movement of

374
00:28:43.260 --> 00:28:47.440
 Comedians as political analysts and commentators. Okay

375
00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:54.960
 it's okay to be an average person who has an opinion because you know most all of us like I said

376
00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:59.780
 Me average person, you know, we're just trying to live man. We're trying to pay the bills

377
00:28:59.780 --> 00:29:05.020
 We're just we're just doing the thing and waking up and hoping we get through the day half the time with everything going on

378
00:29:05.020 --> 00:29:08.960
 And so we're gonna have an opinion and I think that's cool about these guys in the beginning

379
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.920
 It was like, oh, there's this guy. I think he's funny, you know, he's not a political guy

380
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.840
 But you know, he's kind of saying what makes sense because I feel the same way

381
00:29:16.840 --> 00:29:23.660
 but they've transitioned from that to being again SME subject matter experts political analysts, you know or

382
00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:26.080
 historians if you're you know talking about other people but

383
00:29:27.260 --> 00:29:32.140
 The reality is it's misleading for sure and Tim Dillon, I mean I have nothing to say I don't really know

384
00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:36.240
 I think he's just a living, you know, real-life Cartman. That's the way I see him and

385
00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:40.800
 Hilarious he is and I'm not trying to insult him. That's just how he comes across to me

386
00:29:40.800 --> 00:29:44.280
 You know, I and I've tried to listen to a few of his episodes

387
00:29:44.280 --> 00:29:49.820
 I literally I just can't I just can't because as you said the guy's so far off

388
00:29:49.820 --> 00:29:53.200
 Yeah, you know, and I think maybe his his political

389
00:29:54.040 --> 00:29:58.400
 Commentary and analysis in it of itself might be the joke. I mean, maybe that's what it is

390
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:01.860
 I don't know, but I think he's off, you know, it's the same thing with Thiel Vaughn

391
00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:05.800
 I mean the only reason anybody thinks he's cool is because he gets high all the time and ask people questions

392
00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:11.280
 And he was had access to the president. Okay, cool. But outside of that, are you right? No

393
00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:14.730
 Right not yes and valid opinions, but he's not right

394
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.480
 So, yeah, I don't know. I think people give these people

395
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:25.240
 Too much they lend them too much credence to them being against subject matter X was they're not they're not you know

396
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:29.860
 They're funny, right? I'm not they're funny. But at the same time, you know, just just

397
00:30:31.020 --> 00:30:35.500
 Just let everybody know remember. I'm a comedian. Yes. This is my opinion. You have to say these things

398
00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:41.180
 You have to let them know based on everything I've read and this is how I understand it. They don't do that

399
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:47.940
 Right and so unfortunately, they have big audiences and back to you know circling back to what we discussed earlier

400
00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:51.540
 People want to trust those who are going out there

401
00:30:51.540 --> 00:31:00.000
 Getting on a microphone and they want to believe that what they're saying is the truth or that what they're saying actually represents them

402
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:08.060
 When these people themselves are so far removed financially from me, for example, right like do they really connect?

403
00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:13.460
 No, yeah, and it's a good ask yourself. Is this was is this all like intentional?

404
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.780
 Is it curated the narratives the messaging everything?

405
00:31:17.780 --> 00:31:21.200
 Look kudos to them for making it. I'm not passion for that

406
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:27.960
 but I think they're I think where we're getting at if if you and I would had to put the word to it or getting

407
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:31.400
 At is there needs to be accountability. They're right

408
00:31:32.020 --> 00:31:34.420
 Yeah, you know say you fucked up. It's cool

409
00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:39.180
 You know say it's an opinion say you really don't understand what I'm gonna have the person who doesn't understand on the show

410
00:31:39.180 --> 00:31:43.640
 I think you start doing that. I think I can come back around to them to be on right

411
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:49.040
 Um, do you listen to Tim pool at all? No, no, no

412
00:31:49.780 --> 00:31:54.260
 I don't have a hate for the guy. I don't I just don't I just don't listen and if I'm gonna be honest with you

413
00:31:54.260 --> 00:31:57.120
 So I I don't listen to a lot of mainstream podcasters anymore

414
00:31:58.120 --> 00:32:03.300
 Yeah, stop that and and it's not because I'm opposed to them. Like I'm not fighting the system

415
00:32:03.300 --> 00:32:08.440
 It's just I'm focused on my shows pretty busy. Yeah, and then I'm making it and

416
00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:13.380
 I'm making an effort to support more independent podcasters and I listen to more of those

417
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:18.780
 And the reason I I do that is because I find that they go out of their way

418
00:32:18.780 --> 00:32:22.980
 To do the work more than these mainstreamers do to be quite right

419
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:30.960
 And it's crazy because these guys have large teams and you know people like me don't people like you don't um, you know

420
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:35.980
 There's other podcasters. I listen to their independent that they don't have large teams. I know them but yet

421
00:32:36.620 --> 00:32:40.680
 They're going out of the way to do the work because they want to make sure that they're

422
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:44.780
 Presenting the truth based on facts and data at the time included

423
00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:49.280
 At the time of the recording like whatever was available at the time, right?

424
00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:53.500
 And I I don't listen to too many mainstreamers anymore. The only one I listen to mainstream

425
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:58.520
 Alright, I'll be honest. I listen to one for more entertainment, but I do listen to trigonometry

426
00:32:58.520 --> 00:33:03.600
 I like I like trigonometry a lot just because I think they kind of do what you do and I do

427
00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:07.960
 They're just having conversations. They have their opinion, but they're hearing people out where they agree with them or not

428
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.620
 And then yeah, I hate to say it but I do listen to Piers Morgan and the reason is

429
00:33:13.260 --> 00:33:17.480
 It's fun. I could put it on the background and tune it out and you know

430
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:23.800
 And and he's actually good at what he does. He knows what he's doing, right? Right? Yeah, but it's just it's just I know

431
00:33:23.800 --> 00:33:30.240
 I know it's a yelling matches and all of that got an experience over here in shanky, but it's just it's just

432
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.600
 Just entertainment. All right. Yeah, I prefer to support the independence. Yeah

433
00:33:36.260 --> 00:33:39.820
 In that that's something that I've thought about I'm like, okay

434
00:33:39.820 --> 00:33:47.460
 So if if I had somebody help me with writing my material or taking notes to me

435
00:33:47.460 --> 00:33:53.120
 That means I'm not engaging with the material and I'm no longer

436
00:33:54.100 --> 00:34:00.500
 In the know about what's going on. I'm just a talking head, you know, and that's not what I want to be

437
00:34:01.040 --> 00:34:05.580
 Just walking into it. Right? Yeah. Yeah, I hear you. I

438
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:10.300
 Think that what's hard for us is

439
00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:12.880
 You know not my full-time job

440
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.420
 Right. I'm sure it's not your full-time job

441
00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:19.239
 And so making the time with everything that's going on to do what we do

442
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.920
 But you know what I do is I have been using more AI tools to help me out

443
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.760
 And and not not to write things for me. Like I don't script a damn thing. I do not script

444
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:34.960
 That's one thing I don't do and I have guests. I don't write down questions. I just have the conversation and let it develop

445
00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:38.400
 Yeah, I have an idea of what I'm gonna ask somebody

446
00:34:39.080 --> 00:34:44.880
 Based on their background, right? What are the subject matters in and I can stick to that vein for example

447
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.980
 Yeah, but I'm also gonna throw in

448
00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:54.179
 Things that are happening in real time or current events that that they may have an opinion on

449
00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:57.320
 From their perspective that that I want to know

450
00:34:58.260 --> 00:35:00.080
 And so I don't script anything

451
00:35:00.080 --> 00:35:05.260
 But what I do use the AI for is for casting a wide net to grab information

452
00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:08.480
 Okay, okay a shooting right what happened at the White House?

453
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:11.800
 Yeah, the correspondent's dinner. I

454
00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:15.780
 Didn't know anything about it. I was busy literally, you know, I've been busy for a week

455
00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:20.440
 I haven't I'm like so out of the loop and I was just on another show

456
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:24.240
 Yesterday honestly, you know as a guest and he asked me the question

457
00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:29.160
 I was like I'll be upfront with you. I'm a little behind on this. Yeah, let's talk about it

458
00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:31.500
 and so what I'll do is I'll use like

459
00:35:32.340 --> 00:35:37.160
 Let's just say like notebook LM or something right, okay something of that nature to be like, okay

460
00:35:37.160 --> 00:35:42.780
 Here's what happened or just type the the topic of discussion, right in this case

461
00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:48.580
 You know White House shooting 2026 correspondent and just let it go ahead and grab about 50 sources and then from there

462
00:35:48.580 --> 00:35:49.600
 I'll drill down

463
00:35:49.600 --> 00:35:53.340
 Summarize grab another 50 grab enough and then eventually through all the summarization and everything

464
00:35:53.340 --> 00:35:58.920
 I'll start drilling it down and then I can start to see okay where the stories corroborate

465
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.360
 Right if they corroborate enough, I know that okay, maybe we're on something

466
00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:06.600
 Maybe there's a factual story and then you got to dive deeper from that into the details, you know

467
00:36:06.600 --> 00:36:08.240
 Then we start talking about the weapons etc

468
00:36:08.240 --> 00:36:13.560
 it's like and so through this process is a lengthy process like I don't just turn on you know the camera and

469
00:36:13.560 --> 00:36:15.340
 the mic and just go and

470
00:36:15.340 --> 00:36:21.580
 So I do this because one I personally want to have an understanding before I talk shit

471
00:36:21.580 --> 00:36:26.300
 Let's be honest. I have opinions. Okay, I want those to be informed opinions

472
00:36:26.300 --> 00:36:27.780
 It doesn't mean you have to agree with me

473
00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:33.020
 But at least I can say that my opinion is based on enough facts and data and I can back it up

474
00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:39.300
 At the same time. I also want to have enough understanding so that if I don't want to inflect my opinion

475
00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:41.860
 But I think it's important for people to talk about

476
00:36:41.860 --> 00:36:48.180
 Then I have a good understanding again to be able to talk about that subject that that event whatever happened

477
00:36:48.180 --> 00:36:54.840
 And then hopefully my audience can walk away going wow, that's crazy. Okay, and let them decide, you know

478
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:56.180
 So that's why I do what I do

479
00:36:56.180 --> 00:37:01.320
 So I think I think would help people like us is leveraging these tools that are out there

480
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:07.700
 Not to do the work for you, but to help you do the work always be yourself always always use your brain

481
00:37:07.700 --> 00:37:14.560
 Right always use your brain, you know, don't don't people gonna see through the fakeness. They really do they'll see through it

482
00:37:14.560 --> 00:37:21.120
 Eventually or you're gonna get a discussion someone they're gonna realize well, this person is no shit, right? Right. So

483
00:37:21.120 --> 00:37:25.740
 Yeah, yeah, I would say maybe using more AI tools that would help you know

484
00:37:25.740 --> 00:37:29.900
 Like for example you me for I just started doing it by the way, so I'm like

485
00:37:29.900 --> 00:37:33.060
 So I just started using it and it does help

486
00:37:33.060 --> 00:37:36.420
 And I think a lot of independents, you know if they're struggling

487
00:37:37.120 --> 00:37:42.940
 Because of time which we really don't have try to use these tools that are freely available to help you out

488
00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:49.180
 You know and like I say go beyond the damn headline. Don't just don't just live on the surface of information

489
00:37:49.180 --> 00:37:56.100
 Definitely, yeah, so I've noticed I guess for me with AI I have to be really careful

490
00:37:56.100 --> 00:38:01.160
 but um, but yeah, you you do have to prompt like several times to make sure that you're getting the

491
00:38:02.900 --> 00:38:04.020
 Everything correct

492
00:38:04.740 --> 00:38:07.680
 Usually I usually use grok, but um

493
00:38:08.580 --> 00:38:11.280
 sometimes I'll take a bunch of different notes and

494
00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:18.540
 Put it in and just be like can you please summarize this event based off of what's in the news and based off of?

495
00:38:18.540 --> 00:38:21.660
 my notes and it makes it more personable because I

496
00:38:23.520 --> 00:38:23.740
 I

497
00:38:23.740 --> 00:38:29.480
 think I tend to maybe give information that's not needed or it's repetitive or

498
00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:31.500
 Just sound

499
00:38:31.500 --> 00:38:34.660
 Like a dictionary or something, you know, it's like, okay

500
00:38:34.660 --> 00:38:41.000
 Can you just summarize this and at least I'm then doing my own work looking into it and it's just

501
00:38:41.700 --> 00:38:45.140
 Yeah, I don't there's anything wrong with using the tool

502
00:38:45.140 --> 00:38:49.720
 I mean I I look I use it as I started using more notebook LM

503
00:38:49.720 --> 00:38:52.920
 I use both grok and I use notebook LM and I'll use Gemini

504
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:56.620
 I think it's good to use more than one because you're gonna get different results

505
00:38:56.620 --> 00:39:00.420
 You got to realize that they're aggregators. That's all they are

506
00:39:00.420 --> 00:39:04.260
 They're gonna give you exact like you say a prompt what you're asking for

507
00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:09.580
 And I think the key is learning how to ask the questions. You got to be concise. You got to be detailed

508
00:39:09.580 --> 00:39:13.700
 You got to be able to guide it so to speak like, you know

509
00:39:13.700 --> 00:39:19.920
 I want to know the birth rate data of the UK and then after you give me the birth rate of the UK

510
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.100
 Can you break it down by?

511
00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:26.280
 Let's say I why am I having a brain

512
00:39:27.140 --> 00:39:30.200
 Break it break it down by let's say, you know

513
00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:34.060
 culture, right like the whether they're they're

514
00:39:34.640 --> 00:39:41.420
 Let's say African, you know from actually Africa or Moroccan or whatever because there's you know multiple people multiple cultures live in the UK

515
00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:45.440
 So let's break it down by that and after you do that, I want to know you know

516
00:39:45.940 --> 00:39:50.260
 What has been the birth rate over the last five years and each one of those cultures for example

517
00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:54.320
 And then you just keep drilling it down and drilling it down drilling down till you can start to see patterns emerge

518
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:59.220
 You know, that's the only way to do it if you're too broad then your information understand

519
00:39:59.220 --> 00:40:02.520
 It's not gonna be as concise or as detailed as it could be

520
00:40:02.520 --> 00:40:07.540
 So you got to really just start being very specific and just keep going down that rabbit hole

521
00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:13.780
 And hopefully not go so deep that you've just spent five hours doing it but right, you know

522
00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:18.300
 Yeah, you do have to know how to prompt like you said to get what you want out of it

523
00:40:18.300 --> 00:40:23.360
 So yeah, they're great tools and again use them as tools only right? Yeah. Yeah

524
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:29.820
 it's a I've actually used grok a lot because it'll keep track of your conversation and

525
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.420
 so if I go back and have a

526
00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:39.120
 Have fish tanks and if I go back and I have a question about my 60 gallon it knows every species in my tank

527
00:40:39.120 --> 00:40:44.320
 It knows all the substrates and then you know, it's like, oh, I'm having a die off of this species and it's oh

528
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:48.180
 They need harder water, you know stuff like that and it's like wow

529
00:40:48.180 --> 00:40:53.060
 This is saving me so much research right now because it's really cool. Yeah looking at no pick LM

530
00:40:53.060 --> 00:40:56.980
 You like that? You might like that too. Okay. The only thing is you do need a Google account

531
00:40:56.980 --> 00:40:59.000
 I don't know if you do like Google email, whatever, but

532
00:40:59.780 --> 00:41:01.880
 That will do similar stuff

533
00:41:02.540 --> 00:41:05.560
 And so it'll create a notebook and within that notebook

534
00:41:05.560 --> 00:41:09.620
 You could add sources and then you can summarize those sources and you can select which ones you want summarized

535
00:41:10.140 --> 00:41:11.780
 Or you could summarize it all

536
00:41:11.780 --> 00:41:18.020
 Take that summary save it as a source and then just keep going so you could save all your summaries of sources

537
00:41:18.020 --> 00:41:21.200
 And then you can create reports you can create

538
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.320
 presentations blogs everything out of those so

539
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:28.020
 Pretty cool tool. I just started using that

540
00:41:28.740 --> 00:41:31.520
 And again, it's a tool, right? Yeah

541
00:41:31.520 --> 00:41:37.880
 You know, it just it just it just helps someone like me. I know it'll help someone like you who we're podcasters

542
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:44.200
 We're independent. We don't have teams, but it's gonna help us get all the info and help us, you know

543
00:41:44.660 --> 00:41:50.820
 Focus and get a better understanding of the situation before we just start opening our mouths on the right, right?

544
00:41:50.860 --> 00:41:53.640
 Yeah, I think that's important. Yeah

545
00:41:53.640 --> 00:41:57.740
 All right. So I've been wondering what your opinion is on

546
00:41:57.740 --> 00:42:01.100
 Operation epic fury epic fury. Yeah

547
00:42:01.520 --> 00:42:03.360
 Well our turn

548
00:42:04.520 --> 00:42:06.820
 And we'll talk about Iran

549
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.020
 yeah, I so for me personally I I

550
00:42:13.020 --> 00:42:16.880
 Am excited that there could be a better

551
00:42:17.060 --> 00:42:20.080
 beginning for the Iranian people

552
00:42:21.380 --> 00:42:26.480
 And I guess I know we're we're suffering economically for it

553
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:32.980
 So I I just hope that the outcome is good for them as well as it is for us

554
00:42:33.620 --> 00:42:37.220
 So I I personally am not opposed to what's going on

555
00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:45.180
 It's just taking longer than I expected how much so let's start here. I definitely have opinions based on information

556
00:42:45.180 --> 00:42:52.640
 I actually know right but how let's let's backtrack. So my opinion is it because kind of a

557
00:42:52.640 --> 00:42:54.540
 It's a broad question

558
00:42:54.540 --> 00:43:00.860
 Yeah, so do you have any specifics or anything that that has happened recently or anything about it that kind of concerns you more?

559
00:43:01.040 --> 00:43:05.180
 or or less like maybe we can start there and we and I can try to

560
00:43:06.340 --> 00:43:11.440
 Give you my opinion or an assessment on that because epic fury enough itself. It's really broad

561
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:14.340
 I mean, there's a lot going on right? Yeah, so I guess

562
00:43:15.020 --> 00:43:15.460
 Yeah

563
00:43:16.780 --> 00:43:17.220
 so

564
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:22.400
 This is one topic that I am not caught up on within the past 48 hours

565
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.720
 So whatever has happened in the past two days, I'm not sure what's happening

566
00:43:25.720 --> 00:43:30.620
 I feel like I heard about another ceasefire, but yeah, there's so let's let's just do this

567
00:43:31.500 --> 00:43:33.060
 epic fury in and of itself

568
00:43:33.060 --> 00:43:37.600
 Let's start with the straight of hormones because that's been that's been the area of contention around the world

569
00:43:37.600 --> 00:43:42.300
 Right. Everyone has opinion about it and and you're gonna you see all the ai slop

570
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:48.640
 on online your social media where you know, you have the iranian lego movies and everything happening and

571
00:43:48.640 --> 00:43:54.200
 People are buying in to the fact it's not a fact actually. I don't know why I said that they're buying in

572
00:43:54.200 --> 00:43:55.520
 to the narrative

573
00:43:56.060 --> 00:43:59.180
 That the u.s. Is fighting a losing war

574
00:43:59.180 --> 00:44:02.940
 The u.s. Can't win against iran iran is too resilient, etc

575
00:44:02.940 --> 00:44:07.620
 I think the distinction here that people need to realize is it's not a fight against iran

576
00:44:07.620 --> 00:44:13.180
 It's a fight against the islamic regime or the iranian regime. It's a fight against the irgc. All right

577
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.920
 And most people don't even know what that means. So

578
00:44:18.180 --> 00:44:21.160
 The the iranian revolutionary guard the irgc

579
00:44:22.040 --> 00:44:25.580
 That is the strong arm of the islamic regime, right?

580
00:44:25.620 --> 00:44:30.940
 The islamic the islamic regime is who has absolute power in iran, which is crazy because you're like well

581
00:44:30.940 --> 00:44:32.100
 Don't they have a president?

582
00:44:32.620 --> 00:44:33.480
 Sure, they do. Right

583
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:38.920
 But then you have the guys above the clerics of the islamic regime who really are the ones pulling the strings

584
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:43.340
 So the other ones are you go? Okay great idea, but nah, we're not doing that

585
00:44:43.340 --> 00:44:46.900
 so the the irgc was the

586
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.400
 armed militant

587
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:56.000
 Units for example or or armed that would enforce the policies and uphold

588
00:44:56.580 --> 00:45:00.520
 everything about the islamic regime in terms of their viewpoints, etc

589
00:45:01.060 --> 00:45:03.700
 And you know and they were there to protect them

590
00:45:03.700 --> 00:45:04.580
 Okay

591
00:45:04.580 --> 00:45:08.820
 So this whole thing came about a lot of people are trying to make the argument dave smith

592
00:45:08.820 --> 00:45:13.600
 Of course are trying to make the argument that we're not going to die for israel and israel controls america

593
00:45:13.600 --> 00:45:15.400
 And we're only there because netanyahu well

594
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:21.680
 I think trump proved that that's not the case when the 12 day war happened and he yelled at netanyahu and even said

595
00:45:21.680 --> 00:45:23.380
 You don't know what the fuck you're doing

596
00:45:23.380 --> 00:45:24.380
 That's a quote

597
00:45:24.380 --> 00:45:27.220
 Um trump is not not being pushed around by israel

598
00:45:27.220 --> 00:45:34.460
 I think i think trump has since the 80s before his president or even had presidential aspirations has always wanted to handle iran

599
00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:38.640
 This whole thing with iran we've dropped the ball since carter

600
00:45:38.640 --> 00:45:43.960
 So since since the islamic regime took power in 78 we're looking at about 47 almost 48

601
00:45:44.860 --> 00:45:47.340
 years of authoritarian theocratic rule

602
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:49.720
 and so

603
00:45:49.720 --> 00:45:53.400
 What should have happened years ago? We should have shut them down

604
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:54.440
 Okay

605
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:57.580
 This trade of hormones thing going on where they were they shut down the straight

606
00:45:57.580 --> 00:46:00.540
 This isn't the first time they did it they did it in the 80s under reagan era

607
00:46:00.540 --> 00:46:03.520
 So we know that they can do this and they would have done it before

608
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:05.760
 america itself

609
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.620
 We're not necessarily affected by it

610
00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:12.100
 Not directly. Okay, we are in a roundabout way

611
00:46:12.100 --> 00:46:14.620
 and the reason is is because

612
00:46:14.620 --> 00:46:20.200
 People are crying about the cost of oil people are saying it's too expensive. What are you doing?

613
00:46:20.380 --> 00:46:23.120
 You're you're raising the prices around the world for everybody. Well

614
00:46:23.680 --> 00:46:26.000
 For the for america in an indirect way

615
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:31.340
 We are because if we're looking at exports china buys 90 percent of iran's oil china

616
00:46:31.340 --> 00:46:34.100
 It's their biggest customer to get a deal on it

617
00:46:34.100 --> 00:46:34.800
 Okay

618
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:40.040
 So by us squeezing iran and in fact, this goes back to venezuela actually

619
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:43.620
 But let's stick to iran for now by squeezing iran

620
00:46:44.420 --> 00:46:50.480
 The islamic regime the whole point of the street of hormones the blockade and it wasn't a blockade of all traffic

621
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.700
 It was a blockade of the persian ports or not persian. Sorry while it is persia

622
00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:56.280
 Iranian ports

623
00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:01.320
 That's what the blockade was a lot of people got it wrong. You know, like oh look boats are getting through

624
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:02.840
 Well, yeah, they are getting through

625
00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:08.100
 Right, you never shut down people's ability to buy from saudi arabia, for example

626
00:47:08.100 --> 00:47:14.520
 Or any of the other gulf nations in the persian gulf. We did not do that. We are trying to control and penalize

627
00:47:15.720 --> 00:47:18.100
 iran specifically the islamic regime

628
00:47:18.100 --> 00:47:24.320
 Why well 45 percent or more of their budget that they need to run their islamic regime government

629
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:26.520
 Comes from their oil sales

630
00:47:27.240 --> 00:47:33.820
 Okay, carg island actually literally stores about 80 to 90 percent of all the oil they produce on the mainland

631
00:47:34.600 --> 00:47:37.080
 That was the importance of carg island. So

632
00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:40.120
 This whole thing that we're doing right now

633
00:47:40.120 --> 00:47:42.480
 Is not about

634
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:49.040
 Who has control of the street? It's about us squeezing the iranian or islamic regime financially

635
00:47:49.040 --> 00:47:51.860
 You take away their money. They can't operate

636
00:47:51.860 --> 00:47:58.060
 As of now their military is limping along a lot of people saying oh they have all the shehez drones and they have well

637
00:47:58.600 --> 00:48:01.860
 the ability to continue to produce those has been

638
00:48:02.980 --> 00:48:03.500
 fairly

639
00:48:04.500 --> 00:48:07.840
 Impaired I would say decimated but it's been very very much impaired

640
00:48:08.380 --> 00:48:15.180
 Through the bombing of what we did and what israel did we took out a lot of their facilities facilities that were there to

641
00:48:15.180 --> 00:48:20.480
 Help continue to manufacture weapons. For example took out a lot of infrastructure on the mainland

642
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.060
 We've also took out just about all their leadership

643
00:48:24.020 --> 00:48:28.360
 So by controlling the straight we cut the money off if we cut the money off, they can't buy

644
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:32.480
 We know what else they can't do know what else is being quiet that we haven't heard from you

645
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:34.040
 Have you heard from hamas lately?

646
00:48:34.780 --> 00:48:38.860
 No, right why because they're not being funded by the islamic regime

647
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:45.820
 Okay, have we heard from the houthis much? Not really. There was a little bit going on but it's been a little quiet

648
00:48:46.540 --> 00:48:47.980
 um, you know, we know that

649
00:48:48.580 --> 00:48:51.540
 We know that uh israel wants to go after them, right?

650
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:58.040
 But at the same time all of the strife that has ever happened the the terrorist attacks that have ever happened

651
00:48:58.620 --> 00:49:04.180
 Have kind of been quiet lately with with this, uh conflict and a lot of people haven't really pointed that out

652
00:49:04.980 --> 00:49:07.520
 Well, who's the number one state sponsor of terror?

653
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:12.380
 Iran is our regime. Well, they got no fucking money. Think about it

654
00:49:12.380 --> 00:49:16.040
 So for squeezing the money, they can't operate. They also have no leadership

655
00:49:16.040 --> 00:49:18.700
 Okay. Khomeini was or hamenei was was killed

656
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:21.720
 His son moshav hamenei

657
00:49:21.720 --> 00:49:25.600
 He came into power. Where has he been? He's not present, right? We haven't seen him

658
00:49:25.600 --> 00:49:29.200
 So we have these messages being read, but where is the leader?

659
00:49:29.600 --> 00:49:32.960
 And and they can make whatever excuse they want about him not being mobile, etc

660
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:37.940
 Well, we have this thing called zoom. We're on riverside right now, right? There's many things that you can use

661
00:49:37.940 --> 00:49:38.960
 for

662
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:40.960
 remote conversations and presentations

663
00:49:41.860 --> 00:49:44.400
 There's there's much speculation that he's dead

664
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:45.960
 Just not that long ago

665
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:52.440
 There was a mural that was on one of the walls over there in iran which depicted those who have served the islamic regime

666
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:57.900
 The leaders and who have died and moshav hamenei or hamenei was up there. The son was up there

667
00:49:57.900 --> 00:50:03.320
 So they're speculating maybe he really is dead now. I haven't done enough to confirm that's true

668
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:07.660
 But the videos have circulated it's up there. He's right there next to his dad

669
00:50:08.160 --> 00:50:13.080
 And so maybe there isn't an actual leader of the islamic regime right now

670
00:50:14.100 --> 00:50:19.260
 So what's going on in the street of hormones is the ceasefire. Let's talk about the first one that two weeks, right?

671
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:20.920
 We're supposed to have the 14-day ceasefire

672
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:23.280
 What happened while?

673
00:50:23.860 --> 00:50:29.080
 This whole thing was being set up. Okay, the u.s went in and swept up the mines

674
00:50:29.580 --> 00:50:30.860
 They opened up traffic

675
00:50:30.860 --> 00:50:37.180
 They allowed the boats or tankers that they were able to get through that were doing legitimate business

676
00:50:37.180 --> 00:50:38.560
 To get their supplies

677
00:50:39.200 --> 00:50:44.100
 But the other side, you know still there was still kind of there was still a blockade going

678
00:50:44.720 --> 00:50:46.180
 um and

679
00:50:46.180 --> 00:50:49.880
 The the multiple ceasefire agreements or talks

680
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:52.440
 It's all theater. I'm going to tell you right now

681
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:59.260
 The islamic regime is never ever going to sign an agreement. They do not care about what we think

682
00:50:59.620 --> 00:51:01.480
 Okay, they just don't

683
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:07.040
 They're never going to come to heel until they are forced to and even then you're going to see them

684
00:51:07.680 --> 00:51:15.820
 Perform the most glorious death rattle in which they kind of gave us a preview of when they were first bomb

685
00:51:16.540 --> 00:51:19.540
 Remember they attacked all their gulf state neighbors

686
00:51:20.080 --> 00:51:22.140
 Okay. Yeah, they weren't even involved

687
00:51:22.140 --> 00:51:28.860
 Why did they do this? Because they feel that well if you're not going to help us and we're not aligned then you're against me

688
00:51:28.860 --> 00:51:31.300
 And what's crazy is these are also other

689
00:51:31.300 --> 00:51:37.360
 Muslim nations now, of course we have sunni versus shia muslims and I know they're different they see things differently but

690
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:38.820
 at the basic level

691
00:51:39.420 --> 00:51:45.240
 Okay, if we have catholics and christians we can all say we still read from the bible and believe in jesus

692
00:51:45.240 --> 00:51:52.620
 Right. So that being said if you have all these muslim neighbors regardless of their minor differences or whatever

693
00:51:53.380 --> 00:51:58.020
 The basic thread that binds you all together is the quran and the teachings of muhammad

694
00:51:58.020 --> 00:52:00.820
 What happened there? Why are you attacking your brothers?

695
00:52:01.620 --> 00:52:06.820
 Right made no sense that right there tells you that the islamic regime themselves don't even care about islam

696
00:52:06.820 --> 00:52:08.660
 They've been using it as a tool

697
00:52:08.660 --> 00:52:10.640
 to keep people

698
00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:14.580
 Under subjugation. All right, they've been using it as a tool of conquest and conquering

699
00:52:15.260 --> 00:52:18.960
 And that's exactly what they're doing and i've talked to many people from iran

700
00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:22.360
 I've talked to journalists i've talked to people in the resistance you name it

701
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:28.560
 And i've got enough of them all to say the same thing. They they all believe they're not practicing true islam, for example

702
00:52:28.560 --> 00:52:30.900
 Okay, and I might have to agree with that

703
00:52:31.500 --> 00:52:33.260
 Some will say yes, they are

704
00:52:33.260 --> 00:52:36.000
 This is what islam is but regardless

705
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:40.380
 Getting back to the straight the straight is all about squeezing them financially

706
00:52:40.380 --> 00:52:44.520
 Okay, if we cut within and if we cut china off from doing business with them

707
00:52:44.520 --> 00:52:47.080
 They're not getting that oil money from them, right?

708
00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:54.940
 Yeah, and so that's what the straight of hormones is all about this whole operation is about bleeding them dry financially

709
00:52:54.940 --> 00:53:00.620
 They got no money. They can't operate they have to buy everything they have no water. Think about it

710
00:53:00.620 --> 00:53:06.560
 They have salination plants because there's not enough water in the desert where they get it their energy grids are

711
00:53:06.560 --> 00:53:10.380
 You know, they're not consistent. They have to actually buy an important energy

712
00:53:10.380 --> 00:53:14.760
 So if we cut off the money, they can't operate now the the thing about this

713
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:18.520
 Which you alluded to in the beginning is we all wanted to see iran liberated, right?

714
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:21.340
 We did want that trump said it

715
00:53:21.860 --> 00:53:26.220
 Unfortunately, i'm not sure we're seeing that a lot of people speculate that the people who would

716
00:53:26.220 --> 00:53:29.120
 Have stood up against the islamic regime. Let's say the first

717
00:53:30.660 --> 00:53:33.520
 Unconfirmed, but let's say 30 to 50 000 people they say they were killed

718
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:39.960
 Especially that those resistance people the people that stood up were the ones that would have resisted but

719
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:44.780
 We also have to look at that as as much as iran right now seems fractured

720
00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:47.940
 The there is still very much

721
00:53:49.580 --> 00:53:53.220
 There's still very much a control issue in terms of the people

722
00:53:53.740 --> 00:53:56.700
 What they can get what they can use what tools?

723
00:53:57.160 --> 00:53:59.280
 Access to internet for one they don't have

724
00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:00.180
 Um

725
00:54:00.180 --> 00:54:07.860
 Weapons good luck still hard to get in and out so they're not really equipped to stand against the irgc for example

726
00:54:08.660 --> 00:54:14.060
 But the the the the hope we have at this very moment is we're seeing in real time

727
00:54:14.060 --> 00:54:17.760
 And i've called this out months ago people are just barely coming onto it

728
00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:20.120
 There's a power struggle

729
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:25.820
 Okay between the islamic regime and the irgc and also let's not forget the iranian army

730
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:28.720
 Right what's going on with that?

731
00:54:29.100 --> 00:54:33.560
 So there has been a power struggle. We don't know who the true de facto leader is of the islamic regime

732
00:54:34.040 --> 00:54:37.960
 The irgc themselves have been making decisions and doing things that

733
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:43.240
 Don't always align with the islamic regime and if we're talking about the peace talks, right the ceasefire talks

734
00:54:44.080 --> 00:54:48.560
 We don't even know who the real representative is of iran, right?

735
00:54:49.600 --> 00:54:50.480
 right, so

736
00:54:51.560 --> 00:54:54.440
 basically, you know, it's like you have these

737
00:54:55.280 --> 00:55:00.920
 Podcast warriors and you know social media influencers. Um, I think they know what they're talking about or like

738
00:55:01.420 --> 00:55:03.700
 This is a giant loss for the u.s

739
00:55:03.700 --> 00:55:08.200
 And you know trump's going to run with his tail tucked between his legs and what no you guys are idiots

740
00:55:08.200 --> 00:55:09.360
 the only reason

741
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:11.280
 we're going to look like

742
00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:16.260
 To the world there was a loss here is if congress does not approve for their military action

743
00:55:16.260 --> 00:55:19.020
 I'm telling you right now my nephew is deployed there

744
00:55:19.020 --> 00:55:24.060
 I'm going to say that I know some things but it's not solely from him, but I do know some things

745
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:28.680
 I know intel experts like legitimate ones that are still working in the intel community

746
00:55:29.560 --> 00:55:31.740
 Everything you guys are seeing is bullshit

747
00:55:31.740 --> 00:55:35.600
 Iran is limping. They're barely surviving. Okay

748
00:55:36.120 --> 00:55:43.140
 My problem with the situation that I don't agree with is drawing this out because the people stuck in the middle are the iranian people

749
00:55:43.140 --> 00:55:48.140
 The civilians right and how are we going to how are we going to help them?

750
00:55:48.140 --> 00:55:52.780
 Well, the problem is most of them want help but then the hardcore people are like no

751
00:55:52.780 --> 00:55:56.460
 We don't want western influence or we don't want their involvement because we need to do it

752
00:55:56.460 --> 00:56:00.660
 Well, we bombed the shit out of the islamic regime. We took out the leadership

753
00:56:01.220 --> 00:56:05.080
 But you're still not in a position to rise up and that's unfortunate truth

754
00:56:05.520 --> 00:56:10.380
 And and I I don't know what we do about that. That's my concern, right?

755
00:56:11.020 --> 00:56:14.300
 What do we do about that? How do we help those people as far as the islamic regime?

756
00:56:14.340 --> 00:56:18.300
 I can care two shits about them. I do not care that their their leadership is dead

757
00:56:18.300 --> 00:56:23.440
 I can care less if if we take them out, I think we should hunt them down like we did to the nazis

758
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:30.000
 There's nowhere they should go that they should be able to say that they're islamic regime sympathizers without being chastised

759
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:30.980
 Or arrested

760
00:56:30.980 --> 00:56:34.780
 Okay, because they are actually to me no different than the nazi party

761
00:56:35.340 --> 00:56:42.240
 Their goal is to rule the world period and we've seen it through multiple tactics through terrorism and through soft invasion

762
00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:47.600
 Alluding to the immigration issues we've seen of people from the middle east that are muslim

763
00:56:47.600 --> 00:56:51.180
 I'm, not trying to make this an anti-muslim rant right away

764
00:56:51.180 --> 00:56:54.500
 But we have seen it. We've seen it in the uk

765
00:56:55.040 --> 00:56:57.280
 We've seen it in parts of the u.s

766
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:05.900
 It is a reality and if we want to talk about the extreme islamic or fundamental fundamental extreme islamic practices

767
00:57:06.820 --> 00:57:12.140
 Everyone is simping for iran and and saying there's nothing wrong with the islamic regime or their practices

768
00:57:12.900 --> 00:57:16.360
 And the only reason people are doing that is because their pocketbooks are getting hurt

769
00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:18.720
 So i'm gonna circle back to what you were talking about earlier

770
00:57:19.200 --> 00:57:21.540
 Yeah, you know the oil, okay

771
00:57:22.240 --> 00:57:27.080
 Well, this this affects the uk more than anybody japan australia, etc

772
00:57:27.080 --> 00:57:29.940
 They rely more on the oil coming from the gulf region

773
00:57:29.940 --> 00:57:32.020
 Now do they have to buy from iran?

774
00:57:32.580 --> 00:57:34.340
 No, they can buy from saudi arabia

775
00:57:34.340 --> 00:57:38.880
 They can buy from anywhere else and in fact those boats and ships are getting in to buy from those partners

776
00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:39.920
 right

777
00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:45.940
 The thing that nobody is saying is you could have always gotten oil from the u.s

778
00:57:45.940 --> 00:57:50.160
 But why won't they because then they'll admit that they need the u.s. That's the problem

779
00:57:50.160 --> 00:57:54.640
 The uk sure as hell doesn't want to admit that but there's nothing stopping them from buying from canada

780
00:57:54.640 --> 00:57:56.980
 Who's a very big producer or how about mexico?

781
00:57:58.060 --> 00:57:58.500
 right

782
00:57:58.500 --> 00:58:01.320
 Yeah, there were solutions to the problem is all i'm saying

783
00:58:01.780 --> 00:58:06.100
 Of course, it still would have added cost but there were solutions and then people are saying well

784
00:58:06.100 --> 00:58:08.080
 It's not just about the oil stupid. It's the fertile

785
00:58:08.600 --> 00:58:11.740
 U.s produces probably more fertilizer than anybody in the world

786
00:58:12.720 --> 00:58:16.920
 I'm sorry. There were solutions to the issues that are hurting your pocketbook

787
00:58:17.500 --> 00:58:22.600
 It would have raised the cost but not the level we're seeing now because people are being stubborn. I don't understand

788
00:58:22.600 --> 00:58:24.480
 Samantha, I don't understand this

789
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:28.960
 How is it that the world or europe for example has been the largest voice in this?

790
00:58:30.260 --> 00:58:32.360
 Able to tolerate an evil regime

791
00:58:32.880 --> 00:58:38.520
 All for the sake of their pocketbook for convenience, right? That makes no sense to me

792
00:58:38.520 --> 00:58:41.900
 Well, that's the only reason I can see that they were allowed to exist

793
00:58:42.460 --> 00:58:46.140
 And then if we want to talk about this i'm gonna i'm gonna bring up another point here

794
00:58:46.140 --> 00:58:50.680
 A lot of people say well the only reason to rise in the situation they're in is because the u.s overthrew

795
00:58:51.580 --> 00:58:54.300
 Their duly elected democratically elected leader

796
00:58:54.740 --> 00:58:55.140
 bullshit

797
00:58:56.120 --> 00:58:58.740
 We're going to talk about operation ajax. You're familiar with that

798
00:58:59.580 --> 00:59:02.260
 No, okay. So this is something dave smith brings up a lot

799
00:59:03.100 --> 00:59:09.900
 Operation ajax was a cia operation in which they went in during that time period

800
00:59:09.900 --> 00:59:11.940
 In transition to overthrow the previous

801
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:16.800
 Government, right? Okay, and this is how the islamic regime came into power

802
00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:22.320
 It was it was a um propaganda campaign basically by the cia

803
00:59:23.120 --> 00:59:28.540
 Now the the the thing that people always miss and don't talk about why were we there?

804
00:59:29.540 --> 00:59:31.440
 um, because the uk asked us to

805
00:59:32.260 --> 00:59:34.260
 This this was brought on by the uk

806
00:59:35.080 --> 00:59:41.940
 What was really going on at the time was the uk had control of iran's oil back then

807
00:59:41.940 --> 00:59:49.880
 Back then if if we all recall the uk was a huge superpower and they actually colonized and they ran most of all

808
00:59:49.880 --> 00:59:51.000
 the middle east

809
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:54.580
 They're the ones when we're talking about israel, you know coming into being

810
00:59:55.140 --> 00:59:59.700
 They're the ones who handed off to the usa because they no longer had money or control and they said you know

811
00:59:59.700 --> 01:00:01.620
 We're going to split all this up and we're going to ask the u.s

812
01:00:01.620 --> 01:00:06.980
 To come in and try to broker this and help us out with this because the uk as an empire was crumbling wanted to back out

813
01:00:07.820 --> 01:00:10.640
 So operation ajax in iran

814
01:00:11.120 --> 01:00:18.160
 Was a cia operation, but the whole thing was brought on by the uk the uk had control of iranian oil

815
01:00:18.760 --> 01:00:19.960
 It was a lot of money

816
01:00:21.080 --> 01:00:25.180
 What happened was the the new government in iran at the time?

817
01:00:25.240 --> 01:00:29.460
 They said you know what our partnership isn't working. You're taking all the money

818
01:00:29.940 --> 01:00:32.940
 All the iranian money, you're not giving anything back to us

819
01:00:32.940 --> 01:00:36.640
 They're giving us less than 16 percent for I think was like 16 or less of the profits

820
01:00:37.260 --> 01:00:38.800
 and so they're like

821
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:42.280
 We're no longer going to do this with the uk. We're going to nationalize our oil

822
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:46.860
 The oil is coming back to iran. We're going to make all the money and the uk didn't like that

823
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:53.660
 So the uk asked the u.s to get involved to help overthrow these this leadership

824
01:00:54.180 --> 01:00:59.340
 And by doing so open the door through this propaganda campaign of operation ajax

825
01:00:59.700 --> 01:01:01.620
 to install

826
01:01:02.720 --> 01:01:03.240
 Harmony

827
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:09.840
 And what they did was open the door to this islamic regime now the islamic regime at the time

828
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:14.820
 The way they came across to the people was like we're getting back to fundamental practices

829
01:01:15.380 --> 01:01:18.640
 Of islam we're going to go ahead and build this country

830
01:01:18.640 --> 01:01:22.520
 On the religion of love and peace etc

831
01:01:22.520 --> 01:01:27.120
 And they made all these claims but once they got in and they got into power that didn't last long

832
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:28.280
 because

833
01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:32.800
 Women went from wearing dresses and going out and working to wearing hijabs and

834
01:01:33.600 --> 01:01:37.360
 Being subjugated and raped. All right, right. Sorry, but it is true

835
01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:41.760
 So I I wanted to bring that up because I know if people listen to this and listen to me talk

836
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:44.400
 Oh, well the u.s did this no, don't be an idiot

837
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.160
 Look at look at read some history books

838
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.180
 Go back find out what really happened

839
01:01:50.180 --> 01:01:55.300
 Should the u.s take responsibility? Yes, we have some responsibility why we agreed to do what we did

840
01:01:55.300 --> 01:02:02.320
 But we didn't care it was the uk who wanted us involved because the uk was losing their grip their power

841
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:04.820
 And their income from the iranian oil

842
01:02:04.820 --> 01:02:06.820
 That's why this happened

843
01:02:06.820 --> 01:02:12.580
 The islamic regime turned into what they did but nobody thought they would and i'll say that the u.s has a problem with that, right?

844
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:17.600
 When we went to go help the afghanis afghanistan a lot of people were like, oh we funded

845
01:02:18.200 --> 01:02:23.400
 The rebels and and you know, we funded terrorism because you know, we we trained osama bin lad and all that

846
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:24.800
 That's only half true

847
01:02:25.580 --> 01:02:31.480
 um the whole reason the u.s ever really got involved in the middle east at all was because we were fighting against communism and russia

848
01:02:32.180 --> 01:02:37.000
 Period a lot has happened during the cold war era, you know, it goes back to the 40s

849
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:41.360
 And so the reason we got into afghanistan was to fight the spread of communism

850
01:02:41.940 --> 01:02:46.980
 What happened was the afghan rebels at the time didn't want this to happen

851
01:02:46.980 --> 01:02:51.500
 So we went to help them and train them the money that they say was given to terrorists

852
01:02:51.500 --> 01:02:53.500
 We didn't fund terrorists

853
01:02:53.500 --> 01:02:59.060
 You don't know what these rebels are going to turn into we don't know their true intentions and what happened at the time is

854
01:03:00.520 --> 01:03:02.620
 You know almost full circle, right?

855
01:03:03.220 --> 01:03:08.780
 Pakistan stepped into broker because they knew the relationships of the area and who's who right?

856
01:03:09.260 --> 01:03:13.900
 So the money we were given to fund these people actually went to pakistan. They're the ones who

857
01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:18.040
 Went ahead and then distributed it to who they thought

858
01:03:18.040 --> 01:03:21.140
 Should be given the money to fund their resistance

859
01:03:21.500 --> 01:03:22.520
 while lo and behold

860
01:03:22.520 --> 01:03:25.300
 They did exactly what we didn't want

861
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:32.840
 They funded some very jihadist type people who were using this as an opportunity to get trained get money and then once

862
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:34.040
 all the smoke cleared

863
01:03:34.780 --> 01:03:37.660
 Then that's when osama bin laden stepped out

864
01:03:37.660 --> 01:03:42.700
 That's when you had al qaeda and all these other organizations start to break off and become what they were

865
01:03:42.700 --> 01:03:48.160
 So there's a lot of nuance that people don't discuss and this goes back to the beginning of our conversation

866
01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:51.540
 You got to stop living on the surface of information

867
01:03:51.540 --> 01:03:57.280
 Yeah, is the us infallible? No, we have a history of doing some things that aren't cool

868
01:03:57.860 --> 01:03:59.420
 But we're not the ire of the world

869
01:03:59.420 --> 01:04:03.340
 We're not the reason terrorism exists and we're not the reason that the world is in turmoil

870
01:04:03.340 --> 01:04:09.100
 It's through inactions and decisions made by many different people. That's how we got here

871
01:04:09.100 --> 01:04:10.520
 So yeah

872
01:04:10.520 --> 01:04:15.180
 In a long roundabout way. I think we need to get rid of the islamic regime

873
01:04:15.180 --> 01:04:17.980
 Okay, ever since their existence for the last 47

874
01:04:19.200 --> 01:04:22.200
 years 48 coming up ever since then

875
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:24.800
 The middle east has not seen peace

876
01:04:25.260 --> 01:04:26.620
 It hasn't been israel

877
01:04:26.620 --> 01:04:31.840
 And now now as israel get hot-headed sometimes. Yeah, I mean there's sometimes we need to like hey guys

878
01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.180
 You know what the fuck you're doing? But at the same time

879
01:04:35.300 --> 01:04:42.000
 The existence of the islamic regime if we go back and look at the correlation of how things have developed a lot of it has

880
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:45.500
 Absolutely correlated with their existence in power

881
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:49.600
 And there's a lot of other things we could talk about but this is a fact

882
01:04:49.600 --> 01:04:53.380
 This is a fact and people and and i've said this and i'm sorry to be rude

883
01:04:53.380 --> 01:04:58.220
 But you know dad and facts don't give a fuck about your feelings. They just don't i'm not directing that at you

884
01:04:58.220 --> 01:04:59.180
 I'm just you know

885
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:05.220
 So it is true though, you know, and that's just unfortunate and that that statement goes for me, too

886
01:05:05.220 --> 01:05:07.660
 You know, it doesn't matter how I feel

887
01:05:07.660 --> 01:05:10.800
 Facts and data got to win out. We got to look at the reality of the situation

888
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:13.380
 Right, so I hope that answered some questions

889
01:05:14.240 --> 01:05:14.760
 Yeah

890
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:19.860
 Yeah, I have a couple different things. So I guess when I have a hard time making

891
01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:23.400
 My decision on how I feel about something I do look

892
01:05:23.860 --> 01:05:24.380
 at

893
01:05:24.380 --> 01:05:29.280
 What's the fact of it? Was it legal? You know, and it's like well, I guess

894
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:33.820
 Maybe I didn't like this but they had the authority or you know

895
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:37.720
 Legal ability to do so and so I guess I can't

896
01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:43.380
 Bitch too much about it. Let's expand on that legality though like in terms of what for example, um

897
01:05:44.100 --> 01:05:45.900
 i'm talking more about like

898
01:05:46.420 --> 01:05:52.520
 What people are doing with legislation or you know back to the redistricting some of it. Yeah, we're going back to that

899
01:05:52.520 --> 01:05:55.440
 It's not you know, but yeah, I agree with you

900
01:05:55.960 --> 01:06:01.160
 but the the other thing is when when I do talk to people about politics and they have

901
01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:06.180
 a certain feeling about something, um, they might not like something it's like

902
01:06:07.860 --> 01:06:09.340
 Maybe this isn't good

903
01:06:09.340 --> 01:06:15.540
 But I almost suggest maybe just if you're not going to do your due diligence and look into it

904
01:06:16.040 --> 01:06:17.760
 Then don't worry about it

905
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:18.540
 like

906
01:06:18.540 --> 01:06:20.020
 Yeah, I mean

907
01:06:20.020 --> 01:06:26.260
 I agree. I don't know and I also don't want people voting based off of something that they misunderstand

908
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:31.800
 I agree. I agree with everything. I I do the same thing. I mean look I have a podcast obviously, right?

909
01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:35.380
 There's some things that I don't talk about because I am not

910
01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:42.400
 Versed in it. I didn't do enough research or I gotta be honest. It might not interest me. So right it's like

911
01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:43.560
 Everybody expects

912
01:06:44.520 --> 01:06:48.140
 Us to talk about something that just oh this just happened. I can't wait to hear what you said

913
01:06:48.140 --> 01:06:53.240
 Well, I don't really have anything to say on it. I'm not i'm either not interested or I don't know enough

914
01:06:53.720 --> 01:06:56.540
 Right, you know, maybe i'll talk about next time, you know

915
01:06:56.540 --> 01:07:01.220
 Yeah, I think I think you're correct. And as far as our legislation is like the way it's set up

916
01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:05.240
 Is we don't have as much control as we think like our vote matters

917
01:07:05.240 --> 01:07:10.380
 But then we've also seen where bills are introduced by congress that we didn't introduce as citizens

918
01:07:10.380 --> 01:07:15.860
 That seemed to get backed by people in congress and okay good one here, right?

919
01:07:16.060 --> 01:07:19.120
 Since we're coming back to the u.s. Let's leave the middle east for a while

920
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:26.920
 What about 2026 the the federal the federal mandate that's being passed going to be enacted for every car to have biometric readers

921
01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:28.440
 and um

922
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:30.620
 It's going to be able to track your speed

923
01:07:30.620 --> 01:07:36.960
 It's going to be able to read your facial expressions and everything and tell if you're inebriated or even in a good condition to drive

924
01:07:38.080 --> 01:07:38.520
 so

925
01:07:38.520 --> 01:07:42.920
 The and ford's going to be doing this and they're one of the first to do it. We didn't vote on this

926
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:48.180
 No, congress decided so your new ford truck that if you want to buy next year forget it

927
01:07:48.700 --> 01:07:49.700
 You're going to get in it

928
01:07:49.700 --> 01:07:55.580
 And if you look like you're panicked or flustered and and this thing reads you and says oh you're not in a good state

929
01:07:56.040 --> 01:07:58.840
 It's not going to let you drive if it deems you're going too fast

930
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:03.360
 It might slow you down or pull you over if it thinks you're tired because your eyes are looking away or whatever

931
01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:04.960
 It's going to stop your car

932
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:08.920
 All these things are built in the other thing it does it will take this um now

933
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:13.580
 I don't know if this is confirmed, but I I heard I would say I heard so don't vote me on this

934
01:08:13.580 --> 01:08:19.399
 But you know we can look into this later. I also heard that it'll do a scan and start to um

935
01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:21.660
 Check who you are against uh police records

936
01:08:22.979 --> 01:08:23.380
 so

937
01:08:23.939 --> 01:08:24.340
 Yep

938
01:08:24.939 --> 01:08:29.399
 Again, I heard that so we can call that a rumor for now, but it is something concerning that I heard

939
01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:32.740
 So I do have to look into it. So maybe I shouldn't even say it, but i'm going to whatever

940
01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:36.660
 But yeah, this is something that just happened. Nothing. We voted on right?

941
01:08:37.380 --> 01:08:38.859
 I didn't vote on it. Did you

942
01:08:38.859 --> 01:08:41.359
 No, and we get a chance to vote on it

943
01:08:42.100 --> 01:08:43.740
 And what why are we?

944
01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:45.760
 I mean if

945
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:52.560
 This seems to be more for government for more government. Um monitoring or whatever and that's

946
01:08:53.700 --> 01:08:55.500
 That's not really what the

947
01:08:55.500 --> 01:08:58.819
 Republican party which is in charge should be and what about mileage tax?

948
01:09:00.020 --> 01:09:04.500
 Oh, yeah, jb picture. I believe was trying to push for that or they did pass. I'm not sure if they did

949
01:09:05.020 --> 01:09:08.520
 But illinois is already going to be doing that california is talking about it

950
01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:13.939
 And it's like okay now we're going to tax you for your miles. They kind of already do that on gas

951
01:09:13.939 --> 01:09:15.920
 But now they're going to tax you for your miles driven

952
01:09:17.040 --> 01:09:20.859
 So that's I mean, how is it going to work for people who commute to their jobs?

953
01:09:20.859 --> 01:09:22.439
 Like where I live in california

954
01:09:22.439 --> 01:09:28.439
 It's not unheard of to drive in traffic for two to three hours to go to work

955
01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:35.460
 And then come back these people spending seven to ten hours a day on the road. Sometimes just working. Yeah to earn a real wage, right?

956
01:09:36.020 --> 01:09:37.020
 and so

957
01:09:37.020 --> 01:09:39.960
 You add all this up and start taxing you per mile

958
01:09:40.620 --> 01:09:44.520
 And then they're like well, you know for those who don't drive much it actually saves them money

959
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:49.779
 Yeah, but it's not it's not necessarily fair right now the gas tax regardless of when you fill your car up

960
01:09:49.779 --> 01:09:54.020
 You know, we know at least it's even across the board, but but now you're going to tax people

961
01:09:54.740 --> 01:09:59.140
 Per mile so I know illinois is pushing to or did pass it

962
01:10:00.780 --> 01:10:01.920
 Again got looking at that one

963
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:06.560
 But but I but I heard that that is definitely something that they're they're wanting to do jb pritchard wants to do that

964
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:10.720
 I know in california they're pushing for it as well and I don't know where else this is going to spread to

965
01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:14.420
 But we have things like that that you and I didn't vote on we also have

966
01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:17.320
 I don't know. I'll just bring this up. It's just something I do I smoke cigars

967
01:10:17.320 --> 01:10:20.780
 So we also have this thing of a um

968
01:10:20.780 --> 01:10:26.860
 Generational tobacco or cigar ban that's been pushed happened in the uk. They actually passed it

969
01:10:27.400 --> 01:10:30.660
 Anybody born after 2008 can't buy a cigar now, okay

970
01:10:30.660 --> 01:10:32.240
 Why do I care about this?

971
01:10:32.320 --> 01:10:34.360
 It's not just about the cigar because I remember smoke some but

972
01:10:34.360 --> 01:10:39.600
 This is a message to everybody that we're going to decide what is good for you and what isn't and we're going to tell

973
01:10:39.600 --> 01:10:41.280
 You what you can't enjoy can't enjoy

974
01:10:41.780 --> 01:10:46.520
 Now what does this do there are long-standing institutions in britain

975
01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:47.660
 in the uk

976
01:10:48.280 --> 01:10:55.200
 That have these very old hundreds hundreds years old cigar institutions of of uh, you know

977
01:10:55.200 --> 01:11:01.960
 Like cigar lounges, etc or importers that are going to be wiped out because eventually they're not going to outlast this ban

978
01:11:02.540 --> 01:11:04.900
 Right as people like me start dying off

979
01:11:04.900 --> 01:11:10.060
 You're no longer going to be allowed to be able to buy a cigar or smoke any kinds of tobacco

980
01:11:10.620 --> 01:11:15.260
 Cigarettes in my opinion. I don't know if you smoke it. I can see why they would feel the way they do about that

981
01:11:15.260 --> 01:11:18.680
 Cigar come on. There's nothing in it. It's literally just tobacco. So

982
01:11:19.860 --> 01:11:23.680
 California's trying to do this. I think they did pass it. I I have to look at that

983
01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:27.280
 Um, but it was it was something that was coming up for discussion for sure

984
01:11:27.280 --> 01:11:33.260
 And there were other states that they're trying to do it do the same thing that uk was doing in the united states of america

985
01:11:34.200 --> 01:11:39.600
 Again, you're talking about legislation none of us none of us as citizens got a chance to go on that

986
01:11:40.060 --> 01:11:42.200
 Because congress decided

987
01:11:42.200 --> 01:11:42.960
 governments

988
01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:44.760
 Of states decided

989
01:11:45.280 --> 01:11:50.660
 That they have the power to push these bills and ideas that we don't get a chance to decide on

990
01:11:50.660 --> 01:11:54.740
 Yeah, and if they get enough backing from within when they make the presentations

991
01:11:55.240 --> 01:12:01.140
 Just kicked up the food chain and either the government. I mean the governor or the president signs off on it, right?

992
01:12:02.100 --> 01:12:03.460
 No, I mean crazy

993
01:12:04.160 --> 01:12:09.800
 What what issues are they trying to address with that if their constituents don't want it?

994
01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:12.460
 Then who are they really representing when they pass?

995
01:12:13.320 --> 01:12:18.620
 Pass laws like this. Oh my god. That's a conspiracy question right there. I know

996
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:25.300
 Yeah, you know you're it's a good question though like like to what end because what they pass

997
01:12:25.300 --> 01:12:26.940
 What they pass

998
01:12:26.940 --> 01:12:33.320
 That restricts our ability to be free. It's like slowly peck up, you know chipping away our freedoms, right?

999
01:12:33.780 --> 01:12:35.660
 Yeah, does it not apply to them as well?

1000
01:12:36.660 --> 01:12:38.260
 Right, right

1001
01:12:38.260 --> 01:12:40.860
 like do they not see it's like

1002
01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:44.460
 They're shooting themselves in the foot by doing these things

1003
01:12:44.460 --> 01:12:48.280
 Or do they get special privileges, right? We'll never we'll never know, right?

1004
01:12:48.780 --> 01:12:53.380
 And then if you're going to do a uh, a mileage tax, how about on flights?

1005
01:12:54.040 --> 01:12:59.080
 You know, they're flying all over the place. Okay. Good point, right? Okay. Fair enough. Good point

1006
01:12:59.080 --> 01:13:02.500
 But you know good luck taxing a corporation, right?

1007
01:13:03.040 --> 01:13:05.420
 You can you know, you get a lot of write-offs

1008
01:13:05.420 --> 01:13:07.540
 You can do whatever you want look fuel costs, etc

1009
01:13:07.540 --> 01:13:11.870
 Whatever payments interest payments on loans and you can write all that off. I mean so

1010
01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:16.750
 It really it's really more of a direct hit and control against the

1011
01:13:17.540 --> 01:13:20.390
 A person individual rather than a business, you know

1012
01:13:20.800 --> 01:13:21.260
 Yeah

1013
01:13:21.860 --> 01:13:26.480
 But that's a very good point though. I mean you're spot on it's like well, why not that why is it just cars?

1014
01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:28.920
 You know, and then how is it going to affect the trucking industry?

1015
01:13:29.220 --> 01:13:34.560
 Is there going to be a different way to tax them versus I mean you got people driving thousands of miles

1016
01:13:34.560 --> 01:13:36.180
 I mean thousands of miles a week

1017
01:13:37.040 --> 01:13:40.340
 What's what's going to happen to them? I mean, they're already paying almost eight dollars

1018
01:13:41.240 --> 01:13:42.580
 average on diesel

1019
01:13:42.580 --> 01:13:44.440
 Yeah, you know

1020
01:13:44.440 --> 01:13:44.860
 what

1021
01:13:45.280 --> 01:13:48.700
 It might not be the average but you know, I I have a person um

1022
01:13:49.480 --> 01:13:53.800
 You know in my industry and so he's one of my partners, but his brother's a uh, he's a truck driver

1023
01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:55.800
 He has a license and so he trucks our gear around

1024
01:13:56.220 --> 01:14:01.100
 And he he told us like he he got the opportunity to take this truck gear around for a tour for a concert

1025
01:14:01.100 --> 01:14:03.100
 And he gave the quote and he's like man

1026
01:14:03.100 --> 01:14:06.980
 I had to calculate eight dollars a gallon on diesel because it's like so up and down across the states

1027
01:14:06.980 --> 01:14:10.440
 And it was like seven thousand dollars or eight thousand dollars just in gas

1028
01:14:10.440 --> 01:14:12.200
 To do this run

1029
01:14:12.200 --> 01:14:16.420
 My god, okay. Well, that's not even accounted for the mileage that he's driving

1030
01:14:17.020 --> 01:14:21.820
 So how is this going to work? Are they going to take away gas tax and just do mileage tax?

1031
01:14:22.480 --> 01:14:24.140
 Right, I guarantee in california they won't

1032
01:14:26.220 --> 01:14:27.900
 No, no, oh man

1033
01:14:27.900 --> 01:14:32.720
 Yeah, you basically get taxed for being alive every movie make at this point tax for breathing

1034
01:14:33.100 --> 01:14:33.540
 Yeah

1035
01:14:34.400 --> 01:14:38.190
 I mean we're cattle. We're just assets. That's all we are right for the powers that be

1036
01:14:38.740 --> 01:14:42.500
 So all right everyone tin foil hat time. So

1037
01:14:43.260 --> 01:14:43.760
 Yeah

1038
01:14:43.760 --> 01:14:45.940
 The illuminati they're in control

1039
01:14:46.900 --> 01:14:51.440
 It is getting wild it's I you know, sometimes I think like okay

1040
01:14:51.440 --> 01:14:58.140
 We're all just the peasants of the the politicians are living in their kingdom and we're all just the peasants to them

1041
01:14:58.140 --> 01:14:59.300
 Does it feel that way?

1042
01:14:59.660 --> 01:15:00.040
 Yeah

1043
01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:01.400
 Right

1044
01:15:01.400 --> 01:15:05.160
 It's like crazy, you know if they if they spit on us, we're like, oh, thank you master

1045
01:15:05.160 --> 01:15:07.620
 You know, thanks for the water. It's like, yeah

1046
01:15:07.620 --> 01:15:09.780
 Is that all we are?

1047
01:15:10.300 --> 01:15:14.240
 No, I hear you man. It's it's um, it's a crazy world we live in, you know

1048
01:15:15.060 --> 01:15:15.460
 and

1049
01:15:15.460 --> 01:15:18.220
 We always can say we look at the bigger picture, but

1050
01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:23.020
 I think I think if we want to fix anything it starts in our backyard, right?

1051
01:15:23.660 --> 01:15:26.120
 If we're not getting involved in

1052
01:15:26.120 --> 01:15:32.000
 School districts, right if we're not going to those meetings and we're not talking to the superintendents or or the board members

1053
01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:35.400
 I mean, we've seen people arrested for having an opinion that made sense

1054
01:15:35.400 --> 01:15:39.700
 But at the same time it starts there starts in your local government. I mean

1055
01:15:40.580 --> 01:15:43.880
 A lot of people look at government wrong. They think it's top down. It's actually

1056
01:15:44.860 --> 01:15:51.100
 Actually comes up and falls from the bottom. So if you're not if you're not controlling your own backyard your own region

1057
01:15:51.580 --> 01:15:55.160
 If you're not getting what you want in your city or town

1058
01:15:55.900 --> 01:16:02.770
 Then how are you going to affect the district when it comes to um, you know the state and then

1059
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:05.640
 How are you going to affect the country, right?

1060
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:09.560
 It's just like you got to start your own backyard own your own backyard

1061
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:11.540
 It's the same principle in business when you're starting to grow

1062
01:16:11.540 --> 01:16:15.320
 You got to own your own backyard before you can get out outside of that and expand

1063
01:16:15.740 --> 01:16:21.460
 And so whatever that whatever yard that is wherever you decide your home is going to be you've got to fucking control that

1064
01:16:21.460 --> 01:16:26.520
 And if we're not able to do that or not willing to because it's too inconvenient to our busy little lives

1065
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:30.520
 And it gets in the way of us buying our starbucks and fucking watching the netflix special or whatever

1066
01:16:31.460 --> 01:16:32.940
 Then stop complaining

1067
01:16:33.440 --> 01:16:34.800
 You're letting it happen

1068
01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:36.160
 You're letting it happen

1069
01:16:36.160 --> 01:16:38.020
 You know

1070
01:16:38.020 --> 01:16:38.640
 Yeah

1071
01:16:38.640 --> 01:16:41.240
 And then we got mom donnie. I don't know

1072
01:16:42.740 --> 01:16:43.460
 I

1073
01:16:43.460 --> 01:16:45.800
 The I mean this is a little bit different

1074
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:51.620
 but the the one thing I want to stress when we get closer to the midterms is

1075
01:16:52.580 --> 01:16:55.300
 You know how it was in 2020

1076
01:16:56.300 --> 01:16:57.340
 and from

1077
01:16:57.340 --> 01:17:01.580
 Biden's entire administration. Yeah, that will all come back

1078
01:17:02.160 --> 01:17:05.400
 Full force and it'll be worse than it was before

1079
01:17:05.400 --> 01:17:11.700
 Yeah, it's you're right. I mean people have got to be more involved even even now like hold the republicans hold

1080
01:17:11.700 --> 01:17:17.820
 Hold all the politicians accountable be more involved. Well, here's here's the thing because I know that you

1081
01:17:17.820 --> 01:17:20.200
 You do go over the Epstein thing, right?

1082
01:17:20.200 --> 01:17:21.560
 You've been tracking that

1083
01:17:22.110 --> 01:17:28.840
 And I I want to say that I think accountability extends to everyone regardless of your your political preference or party preference

1084
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:33.980
 I do not care if it's a republican a democrat. I don't care if it's trump. I can give a damn rest

1085
01:17:34.680 --> 01:17:39.960
 If these things happen these people need to be held accountable. They need to be arrested period or hung

1086
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:42.120
 I mean honestly, yeah, you know

1087
01:17:42.740 --> 01:17:48.600
 And so my friend and I talk about stoning them to death. I mean old testament. Let's go right? Yeah

1088
01:17:49.440 --> 01:17:55.300
 But I I think I think you're right, I mean accountability we need accountability like why are politicians getting away with things?

1089
01:17:55.320 --> 01:17:56.880
 Why is bill gates still walking around?

1090
01:17:58.860 --> 01:17:59.820
 that's that's

1091
01:17:59.820 --> 01:18:04.160
 what's upsetting the most upsetting with going through the Epstein files is like

1092
01:18:06.020 --> 01:18:08.140
 You can tell that something

1093
01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:12.380
 Wrong happened there. Yeah, but then they're like, oh well, we don't have proof

1094
01:18:12.380 --> 01:18:17.080
 Oh, we don't we don't have proof and then it's like well you're not calling in

1095
01:18:17.080 --> 01:18:21.240
 I mean, yes, um bill gates is going to provide testimonies are some others but there

1096
01:18:21.240 --> 01:18:24.220
 There are others that need to be called in

1097
01:18:24.220 --> 01:18:28.100
 and questioned about their actions that they're not and

1098
01:18:29.420 --> 01:18:33.180
 Steve tish I think that's how you say his name that that's one that

1099
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:39.980
 Epstein set him up with dates and he had to ask them if they ask epstein if they were

1100
01:18:40.580 --> 01:18:42.620
 Working girls or civilians

1101
01:18:43.360 --> 01:18:47.460
 That does that not imply he knew right that he was trafficking

1102
01:18:47.460 --> 01:18:54.880
 Or involved in some sort of illegal activity, but the house oversight committee hasn't called him for testimony

1103
01:18:55.740 --> 01:19:00.640
 And it just blows my mind and i'm not even very far down the list of names. Isn't that crazy?

1104
01:19:01.460 --> 01:19:06.200
 It is and and then and I don't want to bash the victims at all

1105
01:19:06.200 --> 01:19:10.760
 But they've also declined to go on record and name names

1106
01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:14.100
 And it's hard to charge people when you don't have names

1107
01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:20.580
 I i've said the same thing and people kind of like push back or attack me for it because they're like

1108
01:19:21.200 --> 01:19:26.000
 Well, you got to understand the victims what they're going through and you know, we got to protect them. It's like

1109
01:19:26.620 --> 01:19:31.920
 Well, we do but then you see some doing commercials saying I was a victim and this and that well

1110
01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:36.720
 If you're gonna put yourself out there and tell the world you're a victim then point at a person who did what they did

1111
01:19:36.720 --> 01:19:38.820
 Wrong to you. Yeah

1112
01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:45.980
 I mean you can't just keep screaming for the files to be released and for prosecutions to happen if we don't

1113
01:19:46.840 --> 01:19:48.200
 Have the names

1114
01:19:48.200 --> 01:19:54.680
 Yeah, but they do so my my take i'm gonna i'll be i think you know way more on this than I do

1115
01:19:54.680 --> 01:19:58.320
 Like I haven't taken the time to go through the whole like even go through the list. I tried

1116
01:19:58.320 --> 01:20:02.240
 I just don't have the time. So this is going to be interesting for me. I'm gonna learn from you

1117
01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:03.960
 That's for sure

1118
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:05.800
 But what I find interesting is

1119
01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:10.800
 You know, we had danny bonjanino i call him bonjani because I just don't care about that dude anymore, you know

1120
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:15.880
 I was actually wondering if you liked him and I i'm not a fan anymore. So yeah

1121
01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:21.040
 No, I mean he went he went to attack his listeners and you're all black pillars and all that

1122
01:20:21.040 --> 01:20:27.200
 Yeah, and it's like look you can only cry about how tough you are and everything that you can do for so long

1123
01:20:27.200 --> 01:20:31.480
 Dude, look, you're just a talking head. You're you're just you're just hot air on a mic. Shut the fuck up

1124
01:20:31.480 --> 01:20:33.840
 Yeah, you don't have any inside info

1125
01:20:34.520 --> 01:20:40.080
 Anymore like he did when he was in the fbi, let's not say he didn't but he doesn't now and before that he didn't then

1126
01:20:40.080 --> 01:20:41.300
 so right

1127
01:20:41.300 --> 01:20:44.960
 the thing with with some so the reason I brought him up is because

1128
01:20:46.240 --> 01:20:50.420
 He he was the one remember before he got the position as deputy director

1129
01:20:50.420 --> 01:20:55.340
 I'm gonna blow the doors right off. I'm gonna hold everyone accountable. We're gonna go ahead and arrest all these guys

1130
01:20:55.340 --> 01:20:57.340
 Why is it taking so long and then he comes out?

1131
01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:00.980
 Epson kill himself. There's nothing there. What the fuck are you talking about?

1132
01:21:00.980 --> 01:21:03.100
 Danny Danny listen buddy

1133
01:21:03.700 --> 01:21:08.840
 We we had nearly over 20 years of investigatory actions

1134
01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:12.660
 Against epstein that is money that is resources that is

1135
01:21:13.080 --> 01:21:19.200
 Agents that is like thousands and thousands of pages as you know, because you're actually reading them all it's like you're telling me

1136
01:21:19.200 --> 01:21:21.500
 There's nothing there. But yet the government found it

1137
01:21:22.160 --> 01:21:28.460
 Interesting enough to spend all this money resources to do an over two decades investigation two decades

1138
01:21:29.160 --> 01:21:31.220
 Like what the fuck are we supposed to believe

1139
01:21:32.160 --> 01:21:32.640
 Yeah

1140
01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:39.920
 I'm causing too much. I'm sorry. Oh, no, you're fine. No, you said okay. So yeah. Yep. No, you're good. Yeah, I have

1141
01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:46.100
 When I when I my friend gets on here for the true crime stuff. It's it's pretty wild sometimes. Okay

1142
01:21:46.100 --> 01:21:50.720
 But i'm trying to i'm trying to choose the words to for emphasis more than anything. So yeah

1143
01:21:51.320 --> 01:21:54.920
 But seriously though like what's up? What's up? It's

1144
01:21:54.920 --> 01:22:02.620
 So what it what blows my mind is so epstein's brother doesn't think he killed himself there's been other medical examiners

1145
01:22:03.900 --> 01:22:06.120
 Say there's no way and

1146
01:22:06.120 --> 01:22:11.060
 I'm not a medical professional. I was a cna. I did clean up dead bodies

1147
01:22:11.060 --> 01:22:14.320
 I have seen dead bodies and I understand how the skin

1148
01:22:14.900 --> 01:22:19.100
 The skin models what dead bodies look like after they've been dead for a while

1149
01:22:20.500 --> 01:22:21.540
 And um

1150
01:22:21.540 --> 01:22:26.900
 So I will say that there is stuff there where people think that's not epstein. He's not dead in that photo

1151
01:22:26.900 --> 01:22:28.060
 He's too relaxed

1152
01:22:28.060 --> 01:22:29.840
 and the ligature mark

1153
01:22:30.540 --> 01:22:32.480
 It should not be straight across

1154
01:22:32.480 --> 01:22:34.560
 When you're when you've hung yourself

1155
01:22:34.560 --> 01:22:40.700
 It should be at an angle and there is no way that that a bed sheet makes that made that mark so

1156
01:22:41.440 --> 01:22:44.440
 Precise because it's too much fabric like too wide

1157
01:22:44.440 --> 01:22:45.680
 Mm-hmm

1158
01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:51.180
 It looks more like a a shoelace or something like that and with it being straight across

1159
01:22:51.180 --> 01:22:54.040
 And then there's a contusion on the back of his

1160
01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:58.960
 Neck I heard about that. Yeah, so it kind of looks like somebody just

1161
01:22:59.920 --> 01:23:02.740
 Strangled maybe hit him from behind and then hung them or strung them up

1162
01:23:02.740 --> 01:23:05.800
 I think I think I don't know if it was manual

1163
01:23:05.800 --> 01:23:12.240
 But it definitely was from behind and then that was putting pressure on again. I'm not a medical professional

1164
01:23:12.240 --> 01:23:18.900
 Who was the doctor that that uh that revealed like he said similar to what you're saying that I forgot his name

1165
01:23:18.900 --> 01:23:22.540
 um, he was trying to say that that he didn't hang himself

1166
01:23:22.540 --> 01:23:28.260
 and that nothing lined up or looked like what would happen from somebody actually hanging themselves like the way the

1167
01:23:28.260 --> 01:23:33.380
 The injury on the neck was and whatnot. I forgot his name. I don't know if you might you might recall it

1168
01:23:33.380 --> 01:23:39.440
 I I cannot think of his name. Um, and because when I was reading who?

1169
01:23:40.360 --> 01:23:40.980
 Um

1170
01:23:40.980 --> 01:23:44.940
 Mark Epstein the brother hired it sounded familiar

1171
01:23:45.620 --> 01:23:46.240
 um

1172
01:23:46.240 --> 01:23:49.930
 But there there are a lot of medical professionals out there with

1173
01:23:50.420 --> 01:23:56.320
 Decades of experience that do not think that he killed himself. I don't think he did there's no way

1174
01:23:56.320 --> 01:24:01.780
 There's two there's too much that is circumstantial. There's too much. That's weird like the camera's going out

1175
01:24:01.780 --> 01:24:07.770
 You know things like that. Yeah, like none of it made any sense whatsoever. It really did

1176
01:24:07.770 --> 01:24:10.010
 Not make sense

1177
01:24:10.010 --> 01:24:14.770
 Right and then the the fake body to cart him out

1178
01:24:14.770 --> 01:24:20.890
 So the press wouldn't see but then the press was at the hospital anyways, and I think he's in the bahamas right now

1179
01:24:22.290 --> 01:24:23.390
 I don't know

1180
01:24:23.390 --> 01:24:30.310
 You know that picture circulating about him being out like I think in the caribbean or somewhere and he's just he's like

1181
01:24:30.310 --> 01:24:34.750
 Had this big old beard and yes, and apparently he's in israel as well

1182
01:24:34.750 --> 01:24:39.750
 Um palm beach pete have you I think that's his name. Have you heard of palm beach pete?

1183
01:24:40.250 --> 01:24:47.070
 It's some guy that looks just like epstein driving around and he now he's getting on on social media saying hey

1184
01:24:47.070 --> 01:24:54.130
 Palm beach pete here. I'm not jeffrey epstein, but then people are noticing he has like the same stutter as jeffrey

1185
01:24:54.130 --> 01:24:58.490
 Epstein or some speech impediment thing and shaggy wasn't me right?

1186
01:24:58.730 --> 01:25:01.050
 Yeah, yeah, it's uh

1187
01:25:01.410 --> 01:25:03.550
 Yeah, it's interesting. Um, I

1188
01:25:03.550 --> 01:25:06.750
 I mean I did think he was dead and then recently i've

1189
01:25:07.250 --> 01:25:12.210
 after hearing about them pretending that this pile of clothes or whatever was him and

1190
01:25:12.710 --> 01:25:18.330
 That the body that was pictured looked like hillary someone connected to hillary clinton. It's like gosh

1191
01:25:18.330 --> 01:25:24.570
 You know all the crazy stuff keeps being proven true and I don't want to put the tinfoil hat on but it's like

1192
01:25:24.570 --> 01:25:28.090
 Why not at this point? I mean, yeah, so i'll ask you since you brought that up

1193
01:25:28.090 --> 01:25:32.390
 What do you what do you think is going on there with the involvement with the clintons for example?

1194
01:25:32.390 --> 01:25:37.890
 Because their names came up a lot and then she was really pissed off when she was under the questioning. Yes

1195
01:25:37.890 --> 01:25:44.690
 Um, so hillary and bill contradicted each other quite a lot in their testimony

1196
01:25:46.770 --> 01:25:52.550
 And going through the files there's there are fake images of hillary with epstein

1197
01:25:52.550 --> 01:25:59.430
 That are flying around but there are not real confirmed images of hillary with epstein

1198
01:25:59.430 --> 01:26:01.870
 And I just wonder if it's one of those

1199
01:26:02.950 --> 01:26:07.370
 Makes me think of harry potter where where um, what was it?

1200
01:26:07.490 --> 01:26:12.410
 Dumbledore didn't want harry looking at him. I don't know if you're into that because voldemort

1201
01:26:12.410 --> 01:26:21.170
 Okay, so you know how dumbledore was like avoiding, uh too much eye contact with harry because he didn't want

1202
01:26:21.170 --> 01:26:22.330
 um

1203
01:26:22.330 --> 01:26:23.450
 voldemort to see

1204
01:26:23.450 --> 01:26:27.690
 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. So then it's almost like okay, so

1205
01:26:28.970 --> 01:26:30.490
 Was hillary involved?

1206
01:26:31.130 --> 01:26:33.350
 But she made sure to not be

1207
01:26:33.970 --> 01:26:38.670
 Pictured with him ever because how can how can elaine maxwell?

1208
01:26:38.910 --> 01:26:43.170
 Attend her daughter's wedding and oh she was just a plus one, right?

1209
01:26:43.310 --> 01:26:46.170
 Okay. Well, she's pictured pretty prominently in a photo

1210
01:26:46.170 --> 01:26:53.650
 And then how can your her husband spend so much time with him yet? They've never met epstein met everybody

1211
01:26:54.270 --> 01:26:56.530
 He made it a point to be known

1212
01:26:56.530 --> 01:26:57.830
 Guy right

1213
01:26:57.830 --> 01:27:01.670
 Yes, he he fed off of that he lived off of it

1214
01:27:01.670 --> 01:27:05.910
 I just don't believe that she never met him and didn't

1215
01:27:07.730 --> 01:27:13.530
 Didn't have some suspicion, you know, and it was before his convict his um, 2008

1216
01:27:13.530 --> 01:27:16.710
 Conviction for solicitude soliciting a minor

1217
01:27:17.570 --> 01:27:22.570
 but um, how do we trust, uh, hillary at all in and what she says when

1218
01:27:23.030 --> 01:27:29.610
 You know, she had servers at her house a long time remember that in her fucking basement servers with sensitive us information

1219
01:27:29.610 --> 01:27:35.910
 The whole bangasi issue where she literally didn't raise a finger to help the people and many people died

1220
01:27:35.910 --> 01:27:37.990
 You know when the embassy was being overrun

1221
01:27:37.990 --> 01:27:41.490
 I mean she she has been implicated in so many things where she

1222
01:27:42.030 --> 01:27:46.930
 Fumbled the ball and never was held accountable went to prison. She even said nope. I'm not coming for questioning

1223
01:27:46.930 --> 01:27:47.710
 I don't have to well

1224
01:27:47.710 --> 01:27:48.810
 How how does that work?

1225
01:27:48.810 --> 01:27:52.890
 Because if someone called me in for questioning in a court order i'd have to go in or i'm arrested right?

1226
01:27:53.090 --> 01:27:54.910
 Yeah, like none of this makes any sense to me

1227
01:27:54.910 --> 01:27:58.810
 And then I think I could be wrong so tinfoil hat time

1228
01:27:58.810 --> 01:27:59.270
 like

1229
01:27:59.270 --> 01:28:06.630
 Do you think the diddy thing and epstein's kind of related somewhere because they seem like very similar things to a degree

1230
01:28:07.370 --> 01:28:11.990
 I I do wonder that a bit because because there was

1231
01:28:12.550 --> 01:28:19.590
 Epstein did a lot of stuff with women that were of age too with the modeling agency thing and um

1232
01:28:20.670 --> 01:28:27.970
 And there there just does seem to be some overlap there. I haven't found a connection yet, but that doesn't mean

1233
01:28:27.970 --> 01:28:33.670
 That there isn't water. Yeah, because the other thing that's crazy is with diddy

1234
01:28:34.210 --> 01:28:40.010
 They were on his ass quick like look how fast they found all the evidence did the arrest etc

1235
01:28:40.010 --> 01:28:43.650
 Yeah, i've seen we have over 20 something years and they still say

1236
01:28:45.170 --> 01:28:46.130
 Yeah shit

1237
01:28:46.130 --> 01:28:51.410
 Yeah, and that you know, um was it alexander acosta i'm trying to think of the

1238
01:28:52.670 --> 01:28:58.970
 Whoever was supposed to be prosecuting him back in 2008 in florida and they said that there's like 10 to 20 men

1239
01:29:00.150 --> 01:29:01.770
 um involved in this

1240
01:29:03.090 --> 01:29:08.290
 ring, um, and they had all this proof, but then they're like well, we're afraid we're not going to get the

1241
01:29:08.990 --> 01:29:13.530
 The conviction we need so they gave him the sweetheart deal and it's like right

1242
01:29:14.050 --> 01:29:17.610
 Okay, and then these 10 to 20 men like no one question

1243
01:29:18.130 --> 01:29:22.470
 We we have nothing, you know, like we have nothing because you didn't go after it

1244
01:29:22.950 --> 01:29:25.230
 You know what's what's crazy is?

1245
01:29:26.510 --> 01:29:27.030
 so

1246
01:29:27.030 --> 01:29:29.090
 the thing with epstein

1247
01:29:29.690 --> 01:29:33.010
 Okay, a lot of people speculate he was like a massage agent and all this stuff

1248
01:29:33.010 --> 01:29:35.570
 I don't know if that's if that's the real tie-in

1249
01:29:35.570 --> 01:29:42.370
 But what's sad is a lot of people are looking at the epstein case and issue as just a us issue

1250
01:29:42.370 --> 01:29:43.770
 And this was a worldwide thing

1251
01:29:44.350 --> 01:29:51.430
 He had he had uh leaders and I think it was qatar saudi arabia that were implicated prince andrew

1252
01:29:51.430 --> 01:29:52.770
 Yeah stripped of his titles

1253
01:29:53.410 --> 01:29:57.470
 There's so much going on around the world where it comes to connections with epstein

1254
01:29:57.470 --> 01:30:03.150
 But yeah, people are thinking it's just a us operation or it was just a us thing like his his tentacles were

1255
01:30:03.710 --> 01:30:07.030
 Many and they they reached across the entire world

1256
01:30:07.030 --> 01:30:09.950
 and so in some way or somehow

1257
01:30:09.950 --> 01:30:12.170
 he was able to

1258
01:30:12.950 --> 01:30:13.550
 infiltrate

1259
01:30:14.670 --> 01:30:15.270
 people's

1260
01:30:15.270 --> 01:30:16.190
 like

1261
01:30:16.190 --> 01:30:19.070
 relationships and and who's around them info and

1262
01:30:19.630 --> 01:30:23.790
 Get to know them and somehow have a bit of control over them

1263
01:30:23.790 --> 01:30:28.090
 Yeah in some way and we can say that's attributed to the underage girls, which very

1264
01:30:28.870 --> 01:30:33.770
 Very well may be but he also did other things in moving money illegally, right?

1265
01:30:34.230 --> 01:30:41.030
 There was also stories of him getting involved in arms deals or facilitating them right in an indirect way

1266
01:30:41.030 --> 01:30:45.950
 So everything he did goes well beyond to just what happened with the prostitution

1267
01:30:46.830 --> 01:30:49.390
 Yeah, he was involved in a lot of other things. So it's like

1268
01:30:49.750 --> 01:30:56.150
 Was there someone behind him is the question and if that is the case, which could be

1269
01:30:56.150 --> 01:30:58.930
 That's the person suppressing everything and so who is that?

1270
01:30:59.890 --> 01:31:08.490
 Right, right and it almost seems like there has there has to be someone else behind him either a person or organization, right?

1271
01:31:09.030 --> 01:31:09.730
 right

1272
01:31:09.730 --> 01:31:13.550
 Right, and it is interesting to see other countries

1273
01:31:13.550 --> 01:31:16.450
 Going after like peter mandelson

1274
01:31:16.880 --> 01:31:21.860
 Some of these other politicians in other countries they are actually getting investigated

1275
01:31:22.610 --> 01:31:31.060
 And stuff like that, but we just can't seem to find anything on anyone connected to him in the united states. I

1276
01:31:31.060 --> 01:31:37.220
 I think both I think administrations from I think every administration probably deleted

1277
01:31:37.220 --> 01:31:40.950
 Stuff from those files. I yeah, do you think you think what?

1278
01:31:41.620 --> 01:31:46.720
 cash said about you know files from before and and what evidence being destroyed

1279
01:31:47.420 --> 01:31:49.380
 Or burned you think that was true?

1280
01:31:49.380 --> 01:31:57.680
 Yeah, I do um, and I and I don't want to stand up too much for pan bondi because I think she's um

1281
01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:04.040
 She's been terrible since february 2025 with the binder bullshit. I'm that was dumb

1282
01:32:04.480 --> 01:32:07.820
 It was and so then i've had a hard time really trusting anything

1283
01:32:07.820 --> 01:32:13.120
 She says but I do know that the files from the southern district of new york

1284
01:32:13.120 --> 01:32:14.940
 They had asked for them

1285
01:32:14.940 --> 01:32:21.600
 They were refusing to hand them over and that was part of why there was a delay with releasing all of the files

1286
01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:24.580
 Because they had to fight them legally to hand them over

1287
01:32:25.220 --> 01:32:25.700
 right

1288
01:32:26.500 --> 01:32:31.200
 So I do believe that there was tampering because why wouldn't they just hand them over?

1289
01:32:31.780 --> 01:32:35.420
 Yeah, wasn't the excuse that they were trying to make sure that victims names were redacted

1290
01:32:36.620 --> 01:32:37.100
 Yeah

1291
01:32:37.100 --> 01:32:38.680
 Yes, and I

1292
01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:39.880
 you know

1293
01:32:40.720 --> 01:32:46.220
 My big problem with all of this is everyone wanted the abstain files released they

1294
01:32:47.700 --> 01:32:52.200
 everyone, um, and everyone was demanding it yet, no one was giving a

1295
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:59.440
 Timeline a we want this by this amount if they would have just taken their time

1296
01:32:59.440 --> 01:33:02.940
 Released a little bit at a time. This is what we've gone through

1297
01:33:02.940 --> 01:33:07.640
 We've taken our time to make sure that the victims names and faces have been redacted

1298
01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:13.940
 Here's the year 2008 have at it, you know, and then work

1299
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:16.340
 Everyone would have been happy with that

1300
01:33:16.920 --> 01:33:23.760
 If we would have just seen something instead of oh now we've got to do the abstain files transparency act release 3.5

1301
01:33:24.440 --> 01:33:26.260
 million files

1302
01:33:26.900 --> 01:33:30.520
 Redaction errors people redacted who shouldn't have been redacted

1303
01:33:31.240 --> 01:33:36.380
 You know, it just became a such a mess. It was almost like that was a

1304
01:33:36.380 --> 01:33:38.700
 Tactic used to distract right?

1305
01:33:39.760 --> 01:33:44.880
 Because think about 3.5 million like who's going to go through all that that takes teams like years

1306
01:33:46.540 --> 01:33:47.620
 and um

1307
01:33:47.620 --> 01:33:48.360
 the

1308
01:33:48.360 --> 01:33:50.680
 The reality is I like what you said

1309
01:33:50.680 --> 01:33:55.800
 Like if they would have just released a little here and there over time like here you go. Here you go

1310
01:33:55.800 --> 01:33:57.560
 but at the same time

1311
01:33:58.140 --> 01:34:01.840
 With all the evidence in years of investigative work

1312
01:34:01.840 --> 01:34:07.000
 Where the hell are the arrests are you telling me all you have is jill sane maxwell and

1313
01:34:07.980 --> 01:34:14.100
 Epstein that's it. Like there's nothing else. There's no other conduits go betweens. What about clients who and the clients?

1314
01:34:14.340 --> 01:34:17.520
 How can you not arrest a client if they are engaging in underage?

1315
01:34:18.580 --> 01:34:25.880
 Sexual acts like with underage girls or even boys, but how are you? How are you not arresting them for doing these things?

1316
01:34:26.400 --> 01:34:27.460
 you know that

1317
01:34:27.460 --> 01:34:31.560
 You know also how is galeen maxwell in prison for trafficking if she

1318
01:34:32.400 --> 01:34:38.700
 If no trafficking took place, I mean, yeah. Well good point. Like if it didn't happen, then why is she there?

1319
01:34:39.740 --> 01:34:42.040
 Yeah, there's no evidence. Why is she there?

1320
01:34:42.700 --> 01:34:45.520
 I don't know why she's not naming names, you know or

1321
01:34:46.540 --> 01:34:49.460
 Whatever, I think might go back to uh

1322
01:34:49.460 --> 01:34:54.600
 There might be another another person another organization pull the strings. I mean, she's probably just trying to save her own ass

1323
01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:57.240
 probably, yeah, or yeah, or

1324
01:34:57.460 --> 01:34:59.620
 She's stringing the government along

1325
01:34:59.620 --> 01:35:03.520
 For as long as she can to to keep her preferential accommodations

1326
01:35:04.160 --> 01:35:06.460
 Right, right. Well, we'll see how long that lasts

1327
01:35:07.260 --> 01:35:09.500
 Yeah, yeah, I don't know I

1328
01:35:10.100 --> 01:35:11.800
 I think that regardless

1329
01:35:12.340 --> 01:35:13.880
 People should have been arrested already

1330
01:35:13.880 --> 01:35:16.420
 and I personally I

1331
01:35:17.180 --> 01:35:20.380
 Not vindictively, but I want to see politicians burn. I want to see them go down

1332
01:35:21.020 --> 01:35:23.340
 They never ever are held accountable

1333
01:35:23.340 --> 01:35:27.900
 I can't remember the last time an actual real politician went and served any prison time

1334
01:35:29.440 --> 01:35:30.480
 Yeah, no

1335
01:35:30.480 --> 01:35:34.860
 So on that vein, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. No, that's okay

1336
01:35:35.660 --> 01:35:36.180
 um

1337
01:35:36.760 --> 01:35:37.280
 Comey

1338
01:35:37.280 --> 01:35:42.180
 Just was uh, there's a rest warrant issued right? Did he get arrested yet?

1339
01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:44.620
 Or is it just an issue or what's going on with that?

1340
01:35:44.920 --> 01:35:50.980
 To me, it sounds like they actually don't have that much to charge him off of but they're just trying to

1341
01:35:50.980 --> 01:35:55.320
 Face it off that threat that seashell threat that he remember that on social media posted

1342
01:35:56.180 --> 01:35:56.660
 Yeah

1343
01:35:57.220 --> 01:36:01.700
 Yeah, I mean I think there are things that he could be charged for but I think

1344
01:36:01.700 --> 01:36:07.160
 That if we're just if they're just going off of the seas the seashell post that's not enough

1345
01:36:07.160 --> 01:36:09.040
 But I guess yeah

1346
01:36:09.040 --> 01:36:11.700
 There there have been I mean we

1347
01:36:12.240 --> 01:36:13.940
 Is it going to go anywhere though?

1348
01:36:13.940 --> 01:36:20.380
 You know because we are seeing a lot of people finally get indicted or seeing people resign from congress for sexual impropriety

1349
01:36:20.980 --> 01:36:23.620
 Is it going to go anywhere? You know, I

1350
01:36:23.960 --> 01:36:27.200
 Good question. I don't know it probably won't just because of who he is

1351
01:36:27.200 --> 01:36:31.960
 But at the same time like I I can I can agree that okay that whole

1352
01:36:31.960 --> 01:36:37.340
 That whole seashell posting might be thin. Yeah, but it is also a direct threat

1353
01:36:37.340 --> 01:36:40.020
 To the life of a president

1354
01:36:40.660 --> 01:36:41.000
 so

1355
01:36:42.060 --> 01:36:48.180
 This could lead to other things that we're not seeing this could lead to further regulation of social media

1356
01:36:48.180 --> 01:36:53.840
 This can this can lead to what's going on in the uk you can be arrested for what you say or think in terms of your

1357
01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:54.260
 posts

1358
01:36:54.860 --> 01:36:55.240
 Yeah

1359
01:36:55.240 --> 01:36:57.920
 This could be just a way to open a door to that

1360
01:36:57.920 --> 01:37:03.340
 Like I said, that's why sometimes when you look at this it's like, you know, is it really two sides of the same coin?

1361
01:37:04.220 --> 01:37:08.980
 Right and so that was the one thing that popped in my mind or the few things that popped in my mind

1362
01:37:08.980 --> 01:37:15.380
 Is it really about going out there combing for what he said or is this opening the door to further regulations of free speech?

1363
01:37:16.400 --> 01:37:17.440
 Right, which is not

1364
01:37:17.440 --> 01:37:19.360
 That's not where we want to go

1365
01:37:19.360 --> 01:37:24.760
 I mean theory it's not it's not a fact truth. Yeah, but we did see this play out in the uk

1366
01:37:25.340 --> 01:37:27.600
 Yeah, and i've been wondering that as well

1367
01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:31.880
 and I will say that I I do think that there should be repercussions for people who

1368
01:37:32.320 --> 01:37:37.220
 Insight violence and his post did incite violence, you know, I mean

1369
01:37:38.240 --> 01:37:40.040
 Sure, say what you want to say but

1370
01:37:40.040 --> 01:37:45.940
 But if you're inspiring someone else to go out and try to assassinate somebody

1371
01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:53.720
 I think you should be held accountable. I agree and and literally and literally calling for the assassination of a sitting president like seriously

1372
01:37:54.330 --> 01:37:54.620
 Yeah

1373
01:37:55.260 --> 01:37:58.980
 And all right. What how many posts do we see about let's assassinate?

1374
01:38:00.240 --> 01:38:02.220
 Obama or let's assassinate

1375
01:38:02.220 --> 01:38:07.620
 Biden did we see that that's exactly what I was going to say and then of course

1376
01:38:07.620 --> 01:38:14.240
 Yeah, no, of course if if there were posts like that, it would be like, oh there's the violent right again

1377
01:38:14.240 --> 01:38:20.380
 But oh look, we just found out that the splc was funding the kkk and neo-nazis to make the right

1378
01:38:20.640 --> 01:38:23.760
 It is the world is so crazy right now

1379
01:38:24.620 --> 01:38:30.540
 A total admission of everything they denied their entire existence right left doesn't cite violence

1380
01:38:30.540 --> 01:38:38.680
 We we are inclusive and we love everybody and yet you're funding an organization which literally is vehemently racist

1381
01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:41.120
 And fun fact i'm sure you know

1382
01:38:41.680 --> 01:38:45.540
 Kkk was founded by the democrat party, right? Yeah

1383
01:38:46.160 --> 01:38:46.520
 Yeah

1384
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:49.540
 Did they ever cut ties apparently not?

1385
01:38:50.060 --> 01:38:57.600
 Right. I know you know, and I I wonder how many of those people that they paid were actual members, too

1386
01:38:58.700 --> 01:38:59.340
 so

1387
01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:01.140
 I live near

1388
01:39:01.140 --> 01:39:05.160
 The kkk neo-nazis or if they were all the other people

1389
01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:08.320
 Yeah, yeah the people that were marching and stuff

1390
01:39:08.320 --> 01:39:08.940
 right

1391
01:39:09.600 --> 01:39:11.900
 So I used to live in

1392
01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:18.440
 A town in in iowa that had the largest kkk chapter in the united states

1393
01:39:19.060 --> 01:39:21.540
 And they have their own magazines

1394
01:39:21.540 --> 01:39:26.420
 And so like when when I first moved to town like they tossed a magazine

1395
01:39:26.420 --> 01:39:29.980
 Into my yard and I don't know if it was like a welcoming thing

1396
01:39:31.320 --> 01:39:33.800
 You know like hey if you're interested

1397
01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:37.260
 Yeah, and they um

1398
01:39:37.260 --> 01:39:38.460
 Yeah, and

1399
01:39:38.460 --> 01:39:44.380
 So they have their own magazines. They have their own business cards. So you could go to a bar and play pool with somebody and

1400
01:39:45.080 --> 01:39:50.300
 They'll say hey good game hand your business card and it's crazy literally a kkk business card

1401
01:39:50.300 --> 01:39:52.320
 They're not going out marching

1402
01:39:53.200 --> 01:39:53.720
 and

1403
01:39:53.720 --> 01:39:58.800
 In matching clothes and stuff like that. Maybe some chapters are I guess I don't know

1404
01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:05.840
 That's my personal experience. Unfortunately, i've been around it, you know, and oh and then the arian brotherhood

1405
01:40:07.260 --> 01:40:10.140
 With blonde hair and blue eyes, of course, i'm approached by that

1406
01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:14.780
 That group have been approached by that group. You won't be able to tell

1407
01:40:14.780 --> 01:40:16.400
 That their part

1408
01:40:16.920 --> 01:40:21.640
 I mean not in rural iowa, I guess I would think the brotherhood you would with all the tattoo

1409
01:40:21.640 --> 01:40:25.160
 I mean they were found as a prison gig, right? And I think that yeah or whatnot

1410
01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:30.420
 Um, yeah, so then you might be able to tell depending on if they're displaying everything but

1411
01:40:30.420 --> 01:40:35.560
 I think I think the lesson here and what you're saying is they're active, but they're not

1412
01:40:36.100 --> 01:40:40.460
 They're in the background they're doing it in other ways. They've never gone away, right?

1413
01:40:40.860 --> 01:40:47.280
 Right, right. So they themselves you might be on something like they're the ones who are taking the money and funding

1414
01:40:47.280 --> 01:40:50.660
 These other people who look like normies or normal people

1415
01:40:51.620 --> 01:40:56.020
 To do things for them and and they and they're just being useful idiots, right?

1416
01:40:56.380 --> 01:40:59.440
 Yeah, um, you know like we're seeing the protests for

1417
01:41:00.200 --> 01:41:06.320
 Palestine or the protests for um, the you know, the 7 000 genders or whatever the case is

1418
01:41:06.320 --> 01:41:10.260
 And yeah, could this not just be a tool to keep people divided?

1419
01:41:10.660 --> 01:41:16.020
 And you know, and and honestly if you're looking at what's going on, is it not just a page out of the marxist playbook?

1420
01:41:16.100 --> 01:41:20.230
 How about a page straight out of and here's the nazi kkk tie-in

1421
01:41:22.180 --> 01:41:23.180
 joseph gobble's

1422
01:41:23.180 --> 01:41:27.040
 Playbook, right the 1930s nazi propaganda ministry

1423
01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:32.680
 It's exactly what they do that's exactly what they did and they're also now we look at

1424
01:41:33.220 --> 01:41:37.260
 Here's the other tie-in. So if if this was a scp, right?

1425
01:41:38.160 --> 01:41:43.820
 Splc splc. Sorry. So so they're they're funding the kkk. Yeah, okay

1426
01:41:43.820 --> 01:41:48.200
 They're going out and and funding these protesters

1427
01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:50.980
 That may not be tied to the kkk

1428
01:41:50.980 --> 01:41:56.180
 Right, but yet they're doing exactly what joseph gobbles has said

1429
01:41:56.180 --> 01:41:58.020
 You tell a lie

1430
01:41:59.120 --> 01:42:05.400
 Consistently enough and long enough and you consistently continuously tell that lie it becomes the truth

1431
01:42:05.400 --> 01:42:14.000
 So what we're witnessing here is both social engineering and that they're trying to engineer society to accept certain things

1432
01:42:14.000 --> 01:42:16.500
 So that they stand against others

1433
01:42:16.500 --> 01:42:18.200
 And they're also

1434
01:42:18.200 --> 01:42:22.580
 Like it's it's also behavioral conditioning through controlled

1435
01:42:22.580 --> 01:42:24.820
 narratives and curated

1436
01:42:24.820 --> 01:42:29.740
 Words, right? So the word nazi almost means nothing anymore, right?

1437
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:31.660
 Yeah, right

1438
01:42:31.660 --> 01:42:34.240
 so if if you're saying a very

1439
01:42:35.040 --> 01:42:42.860
 Carefully placed word within a very curated carefully delivered message that is very consistent and never changes for I don't

1440
01:42:42.860 --> 01:42:45.380
 I mean ever since trump came down the escalator

1441
01:42:45.380 --> 01:42:51.220
 Then what are you doing? You're conditioning people to believe a certain thing so far what we have seen is

1442
01:42:51.940 --> 01:42:54.840
 The government no, that's not what we're saying what we're seeing is

1443
01:42:55.420 --> 01:42:59.040
 We have to accept socialism because it's fair to everybody and free

1444
01:42:59.040 --> 01:43:02.260
 Um the richer or or taking advantage of everybody

1445
01:43:02.260 --> 01:43:08.740
 Those are what most of the protests have been around about no kings, etc. What is it really all about anarchy?

1446
01:43:10.040 --> 01:43:15.960
 toppling the powers that be or the perceived powers that be so it's it all of this is leading towards tearing down the

1447
01:43:15.960 --> 01:43:17.900
 government from within and

1448
01:43:17.900 --> 01:43:25.280
 Unfortunately, people are eating it eating it up because the message has been consistent and has been non-ending

1449
01:43:25.980 --> 01:43:31.740
 And the younger people who are being educated, especially in higher educational institutions

1450
01:43:32.700 --> 01:43:34.880
 They're being indoctrinated

1451
01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:40.180
 Again, this is all playbooks from the communist marx's playbook carl marx himself

1452
01:43:40.180 --> 01:43:45.100
 Has advocated and wrote about doing this and joseph gobles has done this

1453
01:43:45.400 --> 01:43:47.180
 during the 1930s and 40s

1454
01:43:48.080 --> 01:43:49.760
 during the nazi reign

1455
01:43:50.960 --> 01:43:52.700
 This is not new

1456
01:43:52.700 --> 01:43:56.160
 And so what we're not seeing is we're not recognizing what's happening

1457
01:43:56.160 --> 01:44:01.120
 Yeah, because they're playing on people's iris. They're they're playing on people's woe is me

1458
01:44:01.120 --> 01:44:02.920
 I don't have enough money. I can't buy a house

1459
01:44:02.920 --> 01:44:05.680
 And they're just looking at that

1460
01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:11.340
 Redirecting all of their pain and suffering and how they feel and they're finding a common enemy

1461
01:44:11.340 --> 01:44:17.240
 The common enemy right now is trump or it's just the us government or its democracy or or

1462
01:44:17.580 --> 01:44:18.400
 It's capitalism

1463
01:44:18.400 --> 01:44:20.140
 But that's what they're doing

1464
01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:25.660
 And so yeah, all of this makes a lot of sense if you're looking at it from a macro view and you're able to go

1465
01:44:25.660 --> 01:44:26.340
 Wait a minute

1466
01:44:26.820 --> 01:44:30.340
 This all looks like it's kind of intertwined now, right?

1467
01:44:31.140 --> 01:44:31.620
 right

1468
01:44:32.300 --> 01:44:39.200
 You know, I think I think there are people that think that this is going to go away when trump is no longer in office

1469
01:44:39.200 --> 01:44:41.240
 They're just going to find a different target

1470
01:44:41.700 --> 01:44:45.700
 It's not going to go away. And I think the thing is is

1471
01:44:45.700 --> 01:44:53.640
 We're going to see what happened. Um previous trump to where nobody's even going to know what's happening to them. It's just the normal thing

1472
01:44:54.220 --> 01:44:56.880
 Right, right. Yeah, it's a good idea to

1473
01:44:57.860 --> 01:45:01.020
 Install biometrics in our car. It's a great idea to be taxed on mileage

1474
01:45:01.020 --> 01:45:05.980
 You don't think i'm just using those like the i'm just calling back to that because it's like these little things

1475
01:45:05.980 --> 01:45:10.860
 We give away because the way that they present it. It's like oh, yeah, I guess I can go without that

1476
01:45:10.860 --> 01:45:13.280
 It's only like a couple blocks here and there right

1477
01:45:13.280 --> 01:45:16.180
 But what you're really doing is you're slowly letting them take away your freedoms

1478
01:45:16.180 --> 01:45:20.160
 And once you do that, they don't ever ever ever give it back

1479
01:45:20.160 --> 01:45:25.060
 I mean, I don't know if you yourself can recall anytime something that was taken away a right or privilege, etc

1480
01:45:25.060 --> 01:45:30.080
 That the government went and said, you know what we did this about 20 30 years ago. We kind of fucked up

1481
01:45:30.080 --> 01:45:31.780
 We're giving it back to you

1482
01:45:31.780 --> 01:45:36.060
 Right. Yeah, no, it's never coming back never happens, right?

1483
01:45:37.200 --> 01:45:39.240
 Nope, there's your new world now deal with it. Yeah

1484
01:45:39.240 --> 01:45:40.920
 So, what do we do?

1485
01:45:42.080 --> 01:45:43.740
 What's the answer got to get out and vote?

1486
01:45:44.380 --> 01:45:46.560
 Yeah on your own backyard. We got to start there

1487
01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:51.780
 yeah, yeah, yeah, and I guess we got to put america first and stop, you know worrying about

1488
01:45:51.780 --> 01:45:57.800
 A evil islamic regime that is hell bent on taking over the world and toppling the western nations and destroying america

1489
01:45:58.640 --> 01:45:59.080
 maybe

1490
01:46:01.280 --> 01:46:08.620
 And stop fighting about stupid shit that was no shit. Yeah, i'm with you here. So anyway, I I think I think um

1491
01:46:08.620 --> 01:46:14.020
 We at least as independents, maybe we should support each other more maybe get our voices out there more to fight the you know

1492
01:46:14.580 --> 01:46:16.060
 The controlled narratives

1493
01:46:16.740 --> 01:46:22.160
 That are dividing us and let's just be real and have real conversations, you know, let's just be honest

1494
01:46:22.160 --> 01:46:25.680
 That's what we need to do. I i'm tired of hearing the debate bro shit

1495
01:46:26.300 --> 01:46:27.920
 Let's have a real conversation

1496
01:46:27.920 --> 01:46:29.420
 Okay, you heard me out today

1497
01:46:29.420 --> 01:46:33.680
 You probably don't agree with like I don't know 60 what I said, but regardless you heard it

1498
01:46:33.680 --> 01:46:37.460
 Maybe you'll walk away with something. Maybe I made a point at the same time

1499
01:46:37.460 --> 01:46:39.840
 You've said some things where i'm like, oh, I didn't even know that

1500
01:46:40.440 --> 01:46:43.860
 That's the point of this to me. Yeah, you know, it's not to

1501
01:46:43.860 --> 01:46:46.020
 I'm not here to change your world

1502
01:46:46.020 --> 01:46:52.060
 You know, i'm here to just give you my opinion deliver the information as I know it to be true

1503
01:46:52.060 --> 01:46:56.140
 And you know, maybe you'll think differently about something not not going to change you fundamentally

1504
01:46:56.140 --> 01:47:00.140
 But maybe now you can see a different angle on something that you didn't see before and in turn same for me

1505
01:47:00.140 --> 01:47:01.920
 That's what I like getting out of this

1506
01:47:01.920 --> 01:47:04.380
 This whole thing that we see with these other

1507
01:47:04.380 --> 01:47:08.040
 Podcasts that we talked about earlier that all they do is debate debate debate and it's like they're not even

1508
01:47:08.480 --> 01:47:13.080
 Not even dealing with the substance of what's happening. We're even really getting down to the bottom of the issues

1509
01:47:13.800 --> 01:47:14.960
 That is a dangerous thing

1510
01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:19.960
 I don't see I don't see that as being any different than what you just talked about right now with the funding of

1511
01:47:19.960 --> 01:47:24.280
 The kkk and the messaging and the protests and all of that. It's the same shit

1512
01:47:24.280 --> 01:47:26.620
 It's just a different approach

1513
01:47:27.320 --> 01:47:30.640
 Right one method is for one audience. The other is for another

1514
01:47:31.160 --> 01:47:34.580
 It's doing the same thing it's dividing and conquering that's all it's doing

1515
01:47:35.740 --> 01:47:36.180
 Yeah

1516
01:47:36.180 --> 01:47:36.800
 Yep

1517
01:47:37.420 --> 01:47:40.700
 Yeah, that seems to be everybody's goal right now. It's just to

1518
01:47:41.180 --> 01:47:47.040
 Yeah, well hopefully we can continue to have these talks, right? Yeah, I I would say that would be the thing

1519
01:47:47.040 --> 01:47:52.540
 Um, let's support others who are who are really going out of the way to get you know the truth out there

1520
01:47:52.540 --> 01:47:57.880
 Because again, it's not popular. But I think if we can all get behind it and stick to our guns here, so to speak

1521
01:47:57.880 --> 01:48:02.780
 Um, yeah, I think we'll start making that change. I think we're gonna bring people back to reality

1522
01:48:02.780 --> 01:48:04.880
 Yep. Yeah, definitely

1523
01:48:05.840 --> 01:48:10.600
 Um, yeah, it's been fun doing a podcast and being able to hear other people's

1524
01:48:11.540 --> 01:48:17.080
 Perspectives and absolutely learn and yeah, that's what this does allows us to focus and conversate

1525
01:48:17.080 --> 01:48:23.900
 So I I think it's great. I'm gonna say I thank you for having me on here. Yes. Thank you for being on
