00:02:59.000They have really good, they have farm stands out there on that part of Long Island with fresh vegetables and then the milk and everything like that.
00:03:32.000So I'll have them out for a day and then everybody will go do spots at night.
00:03:36.000So I'm doing a thing, Labor Day, I'll have some people out there and stuff.
00:03:40.000Is there any comedy out there in the Hamptons?
00:03:42.000No, they don't want any comedy there or any tourism.
00:03:46.000They've actually, there's very few hotels and the hotels are three or four thousand a night and they're not anything great, but what they want is to keep people out.
00:06:13.000He has a massive, he doesn't go out of his home.
00:06:16.000He's got a massive estate where he just chills.
00:06:20.000Most people there, I go out and we drive around and stuff and see stuff, but a lot of those people don't leave their home.
00:06:28.000So for the entire summer, they pretty much, maybe they go to one or two restaurants, they stay in their home, and then they have like a private beach that is like behind their house.
00:06:41.000Yeah, you have Seinfeld out there, Stern, Alec Baldwin, my friend, who's there to relax.
00:06:50.000And by the way, congrats to Alec Baldwin.
00:08:20.000All their best movies, whether it's The Grey Man, or whether you're watching The Terminal List, or Mission Impossible, it's all guns save the day.
00:08:41.000Well, these are also the same people that live in these 20,000 square foot homes and fly private jets, but talk endlessly about climate change.
00:09:11.000And when you develop this cognitive dissonance where you see yourself as something completely different than what other people see and your behavior as something that's completely different.
00:10:20.000If they did, they'd probably not be that good at their job, which is, like, every dumb role that I get that I audition for, I've booked none, by the way, because I'm still just me.
00:11:00.000It's one of those things where the actors I know that I'm friends with are usually good-looking, but they're not distinct-looking, and they can fit easily into any of these characters.
00:11:12.000And they don't really know who they are.
00:11:14.000So if somebody tells them, like, six-year-olds should get gender reassignment surgery, they go, okay.
00:11:34.000So you're always saying the things that you think people want to hear, and you're always espousing the correct political philosophies and positions on things.
00:11:43.000Because your whole gig is trying to get people to choose you for something.
00:11:57.000You need them to be good looking and dumb.
00:11:59.000And you need them to just do what they're told.
00:12:01.000Because you can't have an actor on set going, well, I actually think it would be a nightmare.
00:12:05.000And every suggestion that most actors have is bad because they're stupid.
00:12:10.000So you need them to be exactly kind of what they are.
00:12:14.000It would just be nice if we could just turn down the volume on the politics and everything else and just kind of let them do what they're good for, which is to pretend to be other people.
00:12:59.000Don't you think that more people are aware of that now than ever?
00:13:02.000And one of the things that's like the Johnny Depp trial or Alex Baldwin getting in trouble, we're realizing more and more that these people are insane.
00:13:09.000Well, they're crazy, but it's also what happens, I think, When, you know, everything is at your fingertips.
00:13:17.000You've removed most of the struggles that normal people go through.
00:16:57.000In New York, there in the early 90s, a rockette was stabbed in the back in Central Park, one of the people who does the Radio City Christmas show.
00:17:06.000And it was on the cover of the New York Post and the Times, all these places.
00:17:09.000And it was this watershed moment where people in New York City were like, fuck.
00:18:17.000The problem with California is New York is smaller and people's decisions affect other people's lives more.
00:18:25.000And California, Pasadena has nothing to do with Manhattan Beach, which has nothing to do with Thousand Oaks, which has nothing to do with West Hollywood.
00:18:32.000So everybody's kind of in their own little spot.
00:18:35.000And if they're not immediately affected by it, they just go, huh?
00:18:39.000So New York, you do have that idea of this is an organism.
00:19:23.000And they tend to look at all political solutions as inherently fallible, that they won't work because politicians have proven again and again to fail all the time.
00:19:35.000And you just end up being very cynical about it.
00:19:37.000And even, you know, guys that have good ideas and say the right things, you go, yeah, but you're a politician.
00:19:43.000But your nature as a human being is to tell me something I would like to hear.
00:21:03.000Part of the reason why somebody like her might want to stay in office forever is because if she gets out, they might start looking into stuff.
00:21:20.000And you go, well, part of her being in there might be a way to insulate herself from people looking into things and going, what the fuck's going on?
00:21:27.000Yeah, the husband just dumped five million into Nvidia right before they decided to do something with chips.
00:21:36.000They started to do something with semiconductor chips in the United States.
00:22:37.000Wow, he sold millions worth of stocks in chipmaker NVIDIA at a loss the day before the Senate passed a multi-billion dollar bill aimed in part at boosting US chip manufacturing that sent NVIDIA shares surging, a decision Pelosi's office said was to avoid further misinformation about the couple's investments.
00:23:11.000It's like, how do you, when a country has reached this point where these are the actors, and they're bad actors, and we know that, and this is only what we know about, you know?
00:23:24.000The next inevitable step, which again, I don't think is good, is a dictatorship.
00:23:29.000It's somebody who comes in and executes all these people and goes, I'm now the...
00:23:34.000Which is not good, but that does seem to be the next inevitable step.
00:23:42.000They're going to do that through a method where it doesn't look like a dictatorship.
00:24:08.000You notice these weird things that they do and you notice it on YouTube.
00:24:12.000So they want to be, and eventually they want to fuck with your money.
00:24:16.000They want to fuck with your money because that's the heart and soul of what they can do.
00:24:20.000So that centralized currency or whatever it is, they will just enforce compliance by the terrifying reality that they can take it all from you.
00:25:25.000And then the people on the far left, I think, are also waking up because they are starting to realize that journalists like Chris Hedges, who was a war correspondent, who's a socialist writer and a brilliant writer, a lot of his stuff was taken off because it happened to be on RT. They took all Chris Hedges' show On Contact.
00:25:43.000They had all of these hours and hours of him conducting interviews with people.
00:27:34.000I mean, we're all, every day I go, I try to make good moves with money because I go, you know, we're all living at the whims of an algorithm we don't understand.
00:27:43.000And we have no idea who the fuck these people are.
00:28:58.000Because, you know, everybody's blue-haired, non-binary, talking about piss orgies, and that's like, it's the cover of Newsweek, so you have to be like a Catholic, Opus Dei, you know, like, saying the rosary to be a fucking problem now.
00:29:16.000Like, you used to be able to just dye your hair and get a tattoo and a nose ring.
00:29:20.000Now that's like, oh, what are you running for Congress?
00:29:22.000So now the other side of it is a lot of people are kind of going, which is there's elements of that that are good, and there's elements of that that are not great, probably.
00:29:31.000But, you know, that's what young kids are doing now, because they're like, fuck this shit.
00:29:55.000Things happen so quickly that the pace of change is like making people go, what the fuck?
00:30:00.000And people need to situate themselves in the universe and they don't know how to do it.
00:30:06.000And they're going, dude, this rock is spinning and I don't know what's going on.
00:30:11.000Every day there's a new edict about what you can say, what's real and what's not, and people are going back to things that root them, and one of them is religion.
00:30:20.000I think religion has a lot of positives.
00:30:22.000I mean, there's some negatives, but I think religion has positives, for sure.
00:30:27.000It's definitely a good moral scaffolding for a lot of people.
00:30:29.000You need something to ground you, make you humble, make you realize that you are living for a finite amount of time on earth.
00:30:44.000I'm not saying what yours should be or not, but just the constant stuffing money down your throat, having tons of meaningless sex, constantly obsessing over material things, these are probably...
00:31:58.000Like, if you're, then we're on a date, you don't know, you don't know who I am.
00:32:02.000And you would hate me if you knew about me, but you don't even know who I am.
00:32:06.000So everybody's kind of doing their own thing.
00:32:08.000And if you listen to me every week, or if you watch me and Christine and Tom on the live stream, watch people like crush penises with stilettos or whatever those sick fucks are watching.
00:32:17.000I mean, then yeah, it's just different worlds.
00:32:20.000What they're doing over there at your mom's house is fucking wild.
00:32:44.000Every other thing that probably tried to do something like this or back in the day, you didn't have funny people that were like, they're able to actually put it in the context of a show, and it's great.
00:33:17.000The first couple of videos you watch, you try to go like, I'm gonna be tough.
00:33:22.000And then like you get to a point where it's like your body has these reactions independent of your mind Yeah, like your stomach starts you start to feel something you go oh In my stomach.
00:33:33.000Like, they played a video last night of a woman's stiletto heel, like, crushing a guy's penis through a hole in the floor.
00:34:21.000You know, six weeks is a ban, because if you miss your period and it's only two weeks later than that, and now you can't get an abortion, it's basically banned.
00:34:39.000Traveling outside of America is just a lot of things we could learn from other countries where we don't have to be insane all the time about everything.
00:34:46.000Everything doesn't have to be this incredibly polarizing issue.
00:34:51.000There can be things where it goes, yeah, I think Germany and England, they have a law where it's like, yeah, within a certain amount of time, you can have an abortion.
00:35:27.000You know, we talked about this thing on the podcast the other day where there was an article that was talking about how people got arrested for an abortion because of Facebook messages.
00:36:05.000I'm not sure what state, but when people wrote the article, the article was, people are getting arrested for an abortion because of Facebook messages.
00:36:12.000You know, like, oh my god, this is Big Brother.
00:36:14.000But then you look at the actual story, and it's way more horrific.
00:36:19.000It's like, you know, I mean, it was six months into the pregnancy, she takes these pills, it's stillborn, has the abortion, then buries the baby, and apparently burned it.
00:37:12.000I don't think anybody, this is the thing, it's like the vast majority of people that aren't on Twitter and that aren't participating, that are not making money off being inflammatory or whatever, they have, like if you go to people and you go, hey, should somebody have an abortion at six months?
00:38:59.000They don't continue to plague them, but it does require a degree of rational, you know, compromise where, you know, America's an amazing place when you leave it for a little bit and you realize how dysfunctional it is,
00:39:15.000how big it is, how large, how amazingly massive and vast it is, and how hard it is to get anyone on the same page about anything.
00:39:21.000Because people in Louisiana, we're just talking about LA. There's people in, you know, the Hollywood Hills and people in fucking downtown LA have nothing to do with each other.
00:39:29.000Well now imagine people in the backwoods of like Louisiana and the forest of Portland, Oregon.
00:39:35.000I mean, this is such a massive country.
00:39:37.000So many people to get on the same page about anything.
00:39:40.000So you're gonna have these states that are gonna have fights and then they're gonna make laws and there's certain people move here and certain people move there, but it It's such a boring way to live, to me, to be constantly Uprooting yourself because of political reasons,
00:40:50.000I don't necessarily say it's a one-size-fits-all, but if you look at how profoundly dysfunctional The country is and how it just seems like infighting and everybody's at war all the time about all these things.
00:41:05.000I feel like some of these fights are things that For the strength of our overall union should be decided, and that should be it.
00:41:18.000Like, you know, I mean, if we're going to be a strong country that has a unified front in the face of other countries, I think we have to figure certain things out.
00:41:26.000I don't think you can have 50 places doing everything completely differently.
00:41:30.000That seems longer, because then why be a country?
00:41:34.000And I'm not saying you shouldn't have different regional things, but what is...
00:41:38.000I'm trying to find the reason we're a country right now.
00:41:42.000Other than like the economic and the military and the fact that it's been a scam for 50 years of cheap credit and an economy based on war and blah, blah, blah.
00:41:50.000But what would keep us a country going forward if we're all just going to spiral off into our own directions?
00:42:27.000And I've had the journalist Whitney Webb on my show, who has a book out, and she said that a lot of our AI and stuff, a lot of our tech people go, listen, in order to compete with Chinese technology, which is a lot of it's surveillance technology, things like that,
00:42:45.000Ours has to be better, and we have to have technological hegemony, and we have to sell it to the world before they sell it to the world, and so we have to become a little bit of a police state, too.
00:42:56.000I think it woke a lot of people's eyes up when the pandemic hit, when we couldn't get things shipped over here, how much they make overseas, how much we need.
00:43:04.00090% of antibiotics are made in China, something crazy.
00:43:10.000Well, I mean, all of our electronics, there is something highly ironic about tweeting about woke politics on a phone that's made by slaves.
00:47:23.000All of us get mad at corporations and want to burn them down, but we don't go into the Portland Center and throw eggs at a Starbucks because we're sane.
00:47:31.000And then all of us get mad when, like, I don't know, like somebody, whatever, like at a fast food place, someone of a different race doesn't get our order right.
00:47:40.000We all get mad, but we don't go into the woods with a burning cross because we have things to do.
00:50:49.000Yeah, I mean, that's really what it's like.
00:50:51.000We like to think that we're super advanced, but we are, but only compared to other things on Earth.
00:50:56.000That's right, because those aliens have probably bred out all the things that bother us, like personalities and sex and gender and everything.
00:51:17.000All it's going to take is something that they can do technologically that replaces all the things you get from biological love and fear and emotions.
00:51:28.000But isn't it good to know that we lived in the best times of America?
00:51:31.000We had the wildest, but we also lived in the best times.
00:51:34.000In 50 years, it's not going to be as good.
00:52:02.000We've experienced this amazing time and the way the climate and everything, within 30 to 50 years, I mean, it's gonna, who knows what's gonna happen.
00:52:10.000Yeah, the climate thing is interesting because it's hard to figure out who's accurate.
00:52:15.000I've talked to people that are skeptical about forecasts because they, and this is a guy, was it Steve Kirsch?
00:52:23.000No, what was the gentleman's name that did the podcast?
00:52:28.000That was the guy who wrote that book, Unsettled.
00:52:32.000It's a very good book, because he's a physicist, and he's a very stoic guy who explains things from...
00:55:14.000You can't keep people from wandering around the street, and they definitely need more mental health care, and they definitely need more people that can take care of these folks and help them out.
00:55:52.000I live in a nice part of Beverly Hills where, and I go back and forth, I live here too, but I have this lovely, the Kingdom of Saud runs Beverly Hills, and it's a great culture, and all the men smoke, and all the women are very quiet.
00:56:04.000And you never have to turn around to a Saudi woman and go, keep it down.
00:57:38.000It was a not nice thing, but there's some really cool movies about it, and a couple of my friends who sadly lost their parents got some nice money.
00:58:17.000Well, because they don't happen all the time.
00:58:20.000So if they happen all the time, you'd go, oh, this is just...
00:58:22.000After a rainstorm, you've got to be really crazy to go, well, it's the government controlling the fucking weather.
00:58:27.000But when a president is whacked, and they're not whacked all the time, and they're whacked in fucking Dallas, Texas, you know, yeah, and they're whacked by a guy who ends up getting whacked?
00:58:42.000That makes you go, oh, that's interesting.
00:58:44.000And a guy who travels back and forth freely from the Soviet Union.
00:58:49.000You know, when all of American air defenses are outsmarted by a ragtag group of guys who couldn't pass a fucking flight test, does that make you give it a second look?
00:58:59.000When a plane going into the Pentagon, there's not one video of that plane going into the Pentagon that's ever been released when there's 90 cameras on the fucking Pentagon?
01:00:22.000That looks like a fucking plane to me.
01:00:24.000They analyze this actually brilliantly in a documentary called 9-11, The New Pearl Harbor, and they actually talk about this exact video that was released and the frame rate and everything like that.
01:00:33.000But it is impossible to know if that thing that you're seeing...
01:02:54.000I don't believe they don't really have...
01:02:56.000There's certain things that they found, certain things that they didn't find, and it's weird that there's only one Depiction of it in that one thing.
01:03:37.000The thing about it is it looks like the trajectory that a plane would take if a plane is getting low and a plane is trying to slam into a building versus a missile.
01:03:45.000A missile would come over the top and drop in.
01:03:49.000Depending on how it was programmed, right?
01:04:38.000When you're trying to get to the bottom of something and try to figure out why it shouldn't happen again, and you're trying to treat every person's account as their own personal account of the day, why would two officials have to sit next to each other?
01:05:55.000The president, he probably stole the fucking 9-11 documents and he's got them at fucking Mar-a-Lago and he's going to tell everyone the truth at the Labor Day fucking Mar-a-Lago barbecue.
01:06:06.000And now the feds are trying to fuck them.
01:06:08.000What I was going to say is, isn't it crazy that they're breaking into his place and making this gigantic deal about it?
01:09:13.000You know, like somebody that society viewed as a lunatic would say, you know, in 2003, 2004, I mean, he's the president, we're 2022, but now a lot of people are more open to it.
01:09:25.000They're going, yeah, man, here's the reality.
01:09:28.000We just don't trust anybody on anything anymore.
01:09:31.000And the government's going to have to earn that trust back.
01:09:33.000The FBI is going to have to earn that trust back.
01:09:35.000The FBI had a two-year, very politicized investigation saying this guy was a Russian asset.
01:09:43.000He's done a lot of shady business deals, but they didn't go at him for that.
01:09:47.000They said he was an agent of Putin and that he was installed and that Putin would do all these things.
01:09:55.000They were unable to prove that and, in fact, a lot of the evidence they used that was kind of cooked up in its own weird way with the Steele dossier and Clinton and all those people.
01:10:17.000I mean, assassinating civil rights leaders and setting up people, protecting pedophile politicians, fucking doing all this crazy stuff, right?
01:11:37.000Somebody made a point, like, if that room is locked and is safe and secured by Secret Service agents, isn't that a secure place for those documents?
01:11:46.000The problem is it's not the correct...
01:11:49.000Yeah, they asked them to, and I think they had a video that showed those documents going in and out of that room after they told them to lock it up, and they said they did.
01:12:04.000What I was reading was that they probably told them where it was going to be held, and they were like, okay, if you hold them there, make sure you follow these steps.
01:12:12.000And they were like, okay, we'll follow those steps.
01:12:15.000Then they got a video I read that showed, which I'm reading this stuff, so I don't know exactly.
01:12:20.000Maybe he did something really courageous.
01:14:28.000Politics, he's amping them up to 11. Last time out, he preached against Donald Trump and in favor of Palestine.
01:14:35.000This tour, twice delayed by COVID and ominously titled, This Is Not A Drill, includes references to police murdering black men, semi-automatic weapons and abortion, and giant video screens in the shape of a cross.
01:14:47.000Waters guitarist Jonathan Wilson has explained why Waters tour differs from those of fellow older classic rockers.
01:14:55.000Quote, even the Stones or members of the Beatles, it's more of a trip down memory lane than it is a current show.
01:15:00.000The activism, that's sort of the key to the whole thing.
01:15:04.000As a longtime fan of Waters music who doesn't always agree with his messaging, I wanted to ask him about his mix of performing and preaching.
01:15:54.000Well, also it encourages a lot of the people who have come to the show A, because they have listened to everything I've written since, you know, 1965 or whenever I started writing songs, so they do know what my politics are and they do understand where my heart is and they understand sort of why I'm there.
01:16:16.000But maybe it also gives a message to people who don't want to be there, in which case them effing off to the bar is probably not a bad idea.
01:16:27.000Except that, you never know, those people, if they sit in a community like my audience is on these shows of This Is Not A Drill on this tour, there is such a great feeling of communication in that room between me and the audience,
01:16:44.000and between us combined, With all our brothers and sisters all over the rest of the world, irrespective of who they are, where they live, their ethnicity, their religion, their nationality, or anything else.
01:16:56.000Because if this is not a drill, has a message, it is that we have to communicate one with the other.
01:17:03.000To the guy who says, shut the F up, play the hits, do you want him, as long as he doesn't shout it out, do you want him in the arena?
01:17:12.000I don't not want him there, as long as he doesn't annoy the people who do understand what's going on in the arena.
01:18:09.000And in the current show, you've got a montage of war criminals, according to you, and a picture apparently of President Biden on the screen, and it says, just getting started.
01:18:28.000Why won't the United States of America encourage Zelensky, the president, to negotiate obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war that's killing...
01:18:42.000We don't know how many Ukrainians in Russia.
01:18:44.000But you're blaming the party that got invaded.
01:18:52.000What you need to do is look at the history and you can say, well, it started on this day.
01:18:56.000You could say it started in 2008. This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn't do when Gorbachev We've negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe.
01:19:19.000When you say this, then I have to say, what about our role as liberators?
01:19:32.000You were completely isolationist until that sad That devastating, awful day in 1941. I would argue we were always going to get in, and that pushed us in.
01:19:41.000But thank God the United States got in, right?
01:19:44.000You lost your father in World War II. Thank God the United States...
01:19:47.000But thank God the Russians had already won the bloody war almost by then.
01:19:52.000Don't forget, 23 million Russians died.
01:19:55.000Protecting you and me from the Nazi menace.
01:19:59.000And you would think the Russians would have learned their lesson from war and wouldn't have invaded Ukraine.
01:20:04.000Well, you, with all your reading, I would suggest you, Michael, that you go away and read a bit more and then try and figure out what the United States would do if the Chinese were putting nuclear-armed missiles into Mexico and Canada.
01:20:22.000The Chinese are too busy encircling Taiwan as we speak.
01:20:30.000And that's been absolutely accepted by the whole of the international community since 1948. And if you don't know that, you're not reading enough.
01:20:52.000But Taiwan, you can't have a conversation about human rights, and you can't have a conversation about Taiwan without actually doing the reading.
01:21:01.000Roger, if you're having a conversation about human rights, at the top of the list of offenders are the Chinese.
01:21:10.000The Chinese didn't invade Iraq and kill a million people in 2003. In fact, as far as I can record, hang on a minute, who have the Chinese invaded and murdered, slaughtered?
01:21:40.000I just don't understand why he'd be laughing.
01:21:43.000He's laughing like a Kamala Harris laugh.
01:21:46.000Michael Smirconish is not the brightest bulb, right?
01:21:49.000I mean, CNN does not hire smart people.
01:21:54.000And Roger Waters is right about a lot of that.
01:21:56.000There's things, obviously, that there's blind spots there.
01:21:58.000I mean, China's certainly not nice to all of their people.
01:22:02.000But, you know, we've gotten to a point, we've lost our moral authority.
01:22:06.000America's lost, it's still the best country to live if you are an ambitious, relatively healthy person.
01:22:14.000And it's still heads and shoulders above a lot of places, but it's no longer, it does not have the moral authority that it once did.
01:22:21.000And when it wades into these things like Russia, Ukraine, or China, there's a lot more baggage that we have now as a country than we did.
01:22:30.000And that Iraq and Afghanistan and the legitimization of torture and all of these things, you know, we are not looked at as this moral paragon.
01:22:55.000No, we have been for a very long time.
01:23:00.000You know, pushing this narrative that we are liberators and that we are there to help.
01:23:04.000And I think the last round of conflicts that we engaged in, you know, the last round of wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, one we left completely disgraced, Afghanistan and Iraq.
01:23:14.000It seems, you know, I don't know what the hell's going on there now, but it doesn't seem to be worth it.
01:23:20.000You know, if people look back at it, they go, yeah, that wasn't worth it.
01:23:56.000It's tough because obviously we don't want to turn the world over to China and Russia and things like that, but we don't really have the authority we used to have.
01:24:06.000We definitely don't have this moral high ground that the CNN guys claiming we have, or this consensus that we're the liberators of the world.
01:24:15.000There's a large swath of the population that doesn't want that.
01:24:18.000They want peace through negotiation and not peace through military intervention.
01:29:59.000I think seeing the independence over the last couple of years, these big companies that have shitloads of money are going to start going to these people and going, yeah, you've got something good here.
01:30:09.000Let's see if we can, by putting it on our platform, let's see if we can go into business together.
01:30:15.000Let's see if there's some type of reciprocal relationship that works.
01:30:19.000I mean, I don't see why that wouldn't happen.
01:30:21.000I think that's a natural You know inevitable you know consequence of people wanting to earn money you know these companies going you guys have big audiences Come and share those audiences and we'll get you more of an audience and that seems to make a lot of sense to me That would be a more more fascinating alternative approach to YouTube if YouTube had more of an approach of just let and What becomes popular,
01:31:28.000And the laws that we have in place, like the rules that we all agree on, are like, don't threaten people, don't dox people, allow for discourse.
01:31:37.000Allow for people to agree or disagree.
01:32:49.000Like, these were never available before.
01:32:50.000Before, there was a company called Accustats, and I'd buy them.
01:32:54.000I had boxes, boxes of VHS tapes, like this high, of Accustats boxes, like old Buddy Hall versus Keith McCready in 1988, and I would watch those things, because you learn how guys move the balls around the table.
01:33:06.000Those were impossible to find back then.
01:33:08.000I used to have to hoard them, but you'd have to get them from this online company.
01:33:12.000But now you can get them on YouTube instantaneously.
01:33:15.000Any instructional you want to know on basically anything.
01:33:39.000The problem is, Steve will do it, who's a friend of mine, part of the Nelk thing, the Nelk boys, he just, his channel was completely deleted because he didn't blur out like a URL of some gambling website.
01:33:50.000He was, you know, just one of those clerical mistakes.
01:36:39.000This is like us eating poison and wondering why we're dying.
01:36:44.000Like this was literally funded by This desire that other people have to control what you can and can't do with your body because of existing laws.
01:36:53.000Not because of rational, logical thinking about other intelligent human beings and their perspectives, and whether or not they can handle this, or whether or not this is beneficial to them.
01:37:02.000No, they just decide, sweepingly, that they can control you.
01:38:29.000When you're talking about giving people heroin and giving people cocaine, I think you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want if you were an informed, consenting adult.
01:38:38.000That's my stance on anything you want to do.
01:41:00.000This is one of the craziest fucking stories you'll ever hear.
01:41:02.000This guy was in Phoenix and he sold weed to an undercover cop I think four times in small amounts that's four times it was a total of Here I'll send you the link Jamie four times it was a total of a little bit over an ounce so because it was over an ounce they were allowed to charge him and They put him in jail for 15 years now in Phoenix right now 16 years excuse me in Phoenix or
01:41:32.000and they just denied Clemency for this job I mean, the guy was just selling weed.
01:42:27.000Okay, when you have no more robbers, and no more murderers, and no more rapists, and no more fucking carjackers, when all that stuff is complete zero...
01:43:48.000If you want to get him for tax evasion, and say he owes you money because he's been selling $100,000 worth of weed a month for the last three years, okay, get him on that.
01:44:04.000Give me some money and plus you might have to go to jail.
01:44:07.000I hope that we figure out a way to do that.
01:44:09.000I mean, it should absolutely be a priority of any supposedly progressive group of people to figure out a way to stop the bleeding there and get these people out of jail, have their lives restored,
01:44:26.000and stop people from going into jail for non-violent Drug offenses.
01:44:32.000You're also not giving a person a chance to grow.
01:44:35.000You know, you're putting them in this situation where you stop all of their, like this one decision that they make at 21 years old.
01:44:50.000And I knew kids that got caught with a lot of stuff and they had the money to get big time lawyers and then they didn't get those sentences.
01:45:06.000But if he did his time for that, like, you can't just automatically, retroactively attach something that's innocuous, like selling weed today, with, you know, assault from ten years ago, or whatever it was.
01:46:30.000I was doing all kinds of other drugs and I had them in my car and I was just lucky enough to never get pulled over when I had the bad stuff in my car.
01:46:40.000I just had eight balls of cocaine in the car.
01:46:42.000It's like, you know, but thank God, none of that.
01:46:51.000I know guys that I knew that I used to hang out with that got popped for Deewees, they got popped for drugs, they did time in jail, they...
01:46:58.000Kid I went to high school with got in a drunk traveling accident and killed his friend.
01:47:36.000You know, but nobody wants to give up to that.
01:47:38.000No, no, people have somebody blowing the thing.
01:47:41.000You get in your fucking car and it reads your, like, I have one of them whoop straps, you know, you put on your wrist, it measures your activity and your workouts and shit like that.
01:47:50.000Why, you know, it's not the worst idea in the world, like, if you want to be able to drive a car, you should have an app that says, if you're sober, Because if you're really drunk and you think you can handle it- It's a problem.
01:48:05.000Yeah, and there's a lot of people that make those decisions and you make one bad decision and your entire life is now It's irreversibly changed.
01:48:15.000Especially when you're like 21, or this kid, my friend in high school was like, I think he was like 17 at the time.
01:48:22.000I was not high, but I got in a car accident when I was young, and my secretary, the secretary of my company was in the car, and she ended up being okay, but it was a bad head-on collision.
01:49:24.000Someone like you, you're way too famous for it.
01:49:26.000But when you don't have to drive, and you just walk around all day, and you look at your phone and you're like, I've done fucking 11,000 steps and I didn't even realize it.
01:51:27.000Yeah, because right now the self-driving thing, it's very highly criticized.
01:51:31.000It's not really there yet in terms of you can just turn your car on and take me to work.
01:51:35.000And it avoids all the traffic, stops at the red light, lets pedestrians cross in front of you, knows when a car is changing lanes or not changing lanes.
01:51:44.000And people do things now where they get up beside Teslas and if they think you're on autopilot, they'll like kind of half-swerve in your lane.
01:55:14.000You're having that experience of somebody like, you know, you're imagining like, you know, being in that car in the prime 1969. Yeah, but it's way better.
01:58:30.000It's a soup of humanity out there trying to figure out what the applications are.
01:58:35.000I wonder if it'll ever get to a point where televisions and super high definition televisions are everywhere.
01:58:43.000And if someone could have a digital piece of art that's so astounding, and you could only see it on a digital television, And so you would get one, it would be like, oh my god, he's got an original Beeple.
02:00:39.000I get something because I'm a member of this club and I want to be in it and this NFT gives me this Preferred status in this thing that I really like and enjoy.
02:00:49.000There's a way to do that, some kind of fan club.
02:01:17.000And all the friends I have that live there, they're all so happy, but they're on the beach screaming about the FBI. So how happy can you be?
02:01:26.000But when you move to Florida, you just got to let it go.
02:11:29.000She was only convicted on three counts of murder.
02:11:31.000The DEA suspected that she was involved in over 40. But the Miami-Dade District Attorney's Office became embroiled in a scandal involving three secretaries in the office and one of Blanco's top lieutenants.
02:11:43.000So instead of handing her a death sentence, the prosecutor handed in his resignation, and Blanco cut a deal to serve three concurrent 20-year sentences.
02:11:54.000After serving her sentence, she was deported back to Columbia in 2004, where she spent the rest of her days.
02:12:01.000It was in like 98 when she was going in, and then they said she was out by 2004, last seen in 2007, and killed in 2012. So it's interesting here, it's some kind of poetic justice that she met in and that she delivered to so many others, said Bruce Bagley, a professor.
02:12:18.000She died by the motorcycle drive-by killing.
02:13:35.000Yes, but I think what it would look like is approved vendors in certain areas, just like liquor stores and other things, would have to have some type of distance from school or whatever.
02:13:45.000But yeah, to your point, I think it is chaotic and the potential for a real problem is great.
02:13:55.000There's a lot of people that don't even support the idea that the government should control alcohol.
02:14:00.000They're like, why are you controlling this?
02:14:01.000Why do you have any say in this at all?
02:14:05.000As long as we're not selling something that's a fraud, why are there so many hoops that someone has to jump through to sell alcohol?
02:15:33.000Whether you make 20 grand a year or 20 million, 25% flat tax or something like that, 20%, whatever it is, 20%, whatever it is, flat tax.
02:15:42.000But then you go, okay, if you do that, then what happens to all these accountants and the big accounting firms and all that whole entire sector of the economy that's run based on how complicated our tax code is?
02:15:53.000And then you start to realize, oh shit, like Thomas Sowell said, there's really no solutions, there's only trade-offs.
02:16:00.000Because no matter what you do, you're going to create other problems by doing it.
02:16:15.000Now, that doesn't mean that the ends don't justify the means or that it isn't a greater benefit, but all of these things become kind of a racket.
02:16:38.000All of those people have jobs that are supposedly necessary.
02:16:40.000But now you can take a phone and film something and have more people see it than a television show that they put millions and millions of dollars into.
02:17:21.000If the corporation is paying taxes on the money that they make, and you're paying taxes on the money that you spend, why is there an additional tax whenever you want to use your money?
02:18:10.000Well, Texas has got to run their state, so if they don't have income, if they don't have an income tax, they've got to have high property taxes.
02:18:15.000But what I'm saying is, wouldn't it be super simple if it was only you get taxed on income?
02:18:23.000Because the money's going to go to people anyway.
02:18:27.000The money is going to go to taxes anyway.
02:18:29.000Because that money is like, if you're making money, and you're paying taxes on your money, and then you're spending that money, and the person who earns that money is also paying taxes, why is there tax in the exchange?
02:18:41.000I think that Portland, it looks like, doesn't have one.
02:22:27.000Well, thank God this worked because I don't know what- Thank God we don't have to work in that environment because it's like the things we would say, we would just- I just am thankful that I don't have to walk into an office and have to- Participate in that because I did it for years,
02:22:45.000but like that fake phony bullshit culture of like, hello and good to see you.
02:23:55.000Oh, I smoke a cigarette in a parking lot and feel like a human being and then you have to go back and you're like, fuck, we're back, you know?
02:24:47.000So unnatural for people to not just interact that way and be stuck inside all day like that, but also to like exist in this fucking culture where everybody's full of shit all day agreeing that they're all full of shit.
02:24:59.000Oh, yeah, and it's just part of a part of what it is and like I did it for a while, but I was in a sales office.
02:25:05.000We had a little more freedom, but it's still the same type of office where a lot of it is based on these weird relationships where you're kind of like, okay, we're here.
02:26:38.000Being a non-conformist and going out and doing your own thing and being a self-starter and being independent and being able to collaborate with people you want, like that, the value now is there.
02:26:49.000It's not going into these faceless institutions where you get lost in them.
02:26:54.000It's being your own thing, no matter what you do.
02:26:58.000That's a massive change from when I grew up and everything was brand names and the right school and the right neighborhood and the right country club or the right whatever.
02:27:08.000Now, being independent and creating your own world is certainly, you know, desirable, much more so than falling into like some nameless corporation and becoming like a number.
02:27:24.000It's just people have this path that's carved in front of them by their father and their uncles and all these other people that are around them that have done reasonably well for themselves.
02:27:48.000And then they realized, oh my god, I was spending all my time doing something I didn't want to do, and now it's gone through no fault of my own.
02:29:28.000There's all this approved corporate humor where the VP will get up and say something really dumb and you're at the conference and you have to go, oh, he's fucking hilarious.
02:29:44.000Totalitarian structure that some people can really thrive in and then work their way up.
02:29:49.000And that's a lot of the thing with comedy now is a lot of people that have writer's jobs or work in the business.
02:29:52.000A lot of them are very good at office politics and a lot of them are very good at maneuvering.
02:29:56.000And a lot of the really funny people who are fucking lunatics who aren't good at any of that shit are shut out or they're not able to, you know, some of the funniest people you'll meet will never have careers because they just can't.
02:30:09.000For whatever reason, figure out a way to approach it in a professional manner.
02:30:42.000And they say funny things, but then everything else is chaos.
02:30:46.000Everything else is chaos, and everything can't be chaos.
02:30:49.000Sometimes you just have a sense of things that are funny, and you know how to do it, and you have enough crazy to be able to go up there and deliver it correctly.
02:30:57.000Yeah, or you can work and treat people decently, and you're not a lunatic who will start problems.
02:32:35.000If you're sitting on your couch, you don't have to go anywhere.
02:32:38.000I mean, some people, these people that work at tech companies kind of know how to do it, but like, I don't know.
02:32:43.000I think also for your social life, Just to get out of your house, to meet people, to function in society, there might be benefits to not working exclusively from your home.
02:33:29.000But I get the idea of, like, if you've got employees that were shifty already, and then all of a sudden they're working from home, like, why isn't this project on my desk?
02:33:54.000But if these companies want people to come back to commercial real estate that they're paying for, it's not because they're more productive.
02:34:00.000They're probably saying, we want them back so that we can crack the whip.
02:34:05.000Because otherwise they would just say fuck it.
02:34:07.000We don't need this $50,000 a month lease on this office.
02:35:14.000Again, this became this weird political football kind of almost from the beginning.
02:35:18.000It was not a mature country looking at this, going, what the fuck's going on?
02:35:22.000It was a lot of people fighting for power, relevance, and there were a lot of people using all these things politically for their own purposes.
02:35:39.000Whether it's a pandemic or a war or anything, will there be any point in our country where we can look at a problem and not make it this political firestorm where there's winners and losers?
02:35:51.000Will we ever be able to collectively evaluate a problem and tackle it?
02:35:58.000Without retreating into these ideological camps, I don't know.
02:36:02.000That would be the only way to get us out of this.
02:36:38.000It helps people who want to just continually operate in the system as it's constructed.
02:36:48.000And whether that is The system of perpetual war or the system of the banking sector, the dominance of the financial sector, or the system is tech companies set up to have these political relationships,
02:38:13.000Do you think it should be illegal to pretend to represent a human being when you're a corporation that is promoting your own needs?
02:38:25.000So do you think that like a corporation that hires Whether it's a foreign corporation, let's say it's a foreign one, so it's not connected to us, that hires a company to propagandize about a specific political issue that's going to be a hot button target.
02:38:42.000And they do it as a bunch of people that attack people and go after people with dissenting opinions and quote tweet them and attack them.
02:38:51.000And you find out it's not even a real person.
02:38:58.000But we'll continue to allow anyone with enough money.
02:39:03.000But don't you think that that thing right there, just that, that's insidious.
02:39:07.000Pretending you're a person for a specific propaganda game and having it like a thousand accounts and you're running it through computers and you've got people responding to things, you've got people that are just retweeting things and posting things and it's all just propaganda.
02:39:20.000It's insane that the Congress, the Congress members who Went and started trading stocks based on the knowledge of how bad coronavirus was still have jobs, right?
02:40:39.000We should go, it's nice that we got the run we did because it's not getting better.
02:40:47.000I mean, or maybe it will, and God bless.
02:40:51.000When I was a kid, I remember reading about the fall of the Roman Empire and the fall of the Greek Empire, and then I was thinking about America.
02:40:59.000And I was like, is this thing going to go away someday?
02:41:48.000Fucking dystopian horror movie and it won't be funnier than America because we're a crazy country full of crazy people and everybody's just trying to suck the last few dollars out of this bloated pig corpse of an empire before the end.
02:42:20.000But make no mistake, I mean, if I'm wrong, and I'd love to be wrong, but if your attitude or your idea is that the population is going to get smarter, healthier, and more adept at problem solving, you're on fucking crack.
02:42:48.000Do you think we ever descend into some sort of CCP-controlled world, like that kind of totalitarian government?
02:42:57.000Do you think it's possible that through technology and just through people just falling apart, losing their fucking minds, thinking it's the right thing to do- I think what happens next is we'll just have these giant oscillating swings between right and left,
02:43:13.000and then I think eventually it'll get to a point where large areas in the country are unlivable for a myriad of reasons, perhaps crime or homelessness, climate, whatever.
02:43:27.000Very Well-off or well-connected people will have these kind of enclaves.
02:44:30.000Can't get in my car because of climate.
02:44:32.000And you'll sit there and they'll give you, they'll feed you poison and you'll watch TV. And a few people will riot, but very few because most people will be pacified by the goodies, which they'll still probably have.
02:44:43.000And, you know, the leader will come on and tell, like, well, they'll be like, hello, everyone.
02:45:11.000And we'll have experienced the best of it.
02:45:13.000We'll remember when you could get in a car without a tracking device.
02:45:16.000We'll remember when you didn't have a fucking tracking device attached to you at all times.
02:45:20.000We'll remember when you could say what the fuck you want, alienate people, piss them off, and no one really cared and it didn't matter because you could wake up the next day and say, sorry I was drunk and it wasn't on fucking Twitter.
02:45:30.000People didn't have a record of what you did and what you said and where you were and who you fucked and everything else.
02:46:22.000And people will forget when you could, we're free.
02:46:26.000And they will just kind of create a society based on goodies.
02:46:30.000Little goodies, little rewards, and the addiction to celebrity, where our leaders will all be celebrities who will tell you on closed-circuit television how good things are going.
02:47:27.000If you wanted to live in like a total technocratic dictatorship where the technology completely dominates it from the top down, we're going there.
02:47:39.000We're more headed there than any other direction.
02:47:41.000That's why we laugh at NFTs, but these are the little goodies and the treats, and look at the thing, look at the shiny thing you're being given.
02:47:48.000But I mean, what's the solution to that?
02:47:50.000It seems like it's going in this general direction no matter what we do.
02:47:53.000It's like we're headed down a snow-covered hill in a fucking toboggan.
02:48:02.000I mean, does it mean that there is a decentralized world?
02:48:06.000Because it gets so powerful that no one can really control it and that the people involved in the organization have too much power to say whether or not things are openly and freely distributed.
02:48:19.000Like, is that the bottleneck, ultimately?
02:48:21.000That when we get to a certain point where technology becomes so fucking advanced that it's basically everything is integrated with everything.
02:48:30.000And everybody has access to all the information.
02:48:33.000And then the problem with that is, like, what about people that want to, like, Hold on to things physically.
02:48:38.000What about people that want like actual physical wealth?
02:48:41.000Yeah Like is that what we're gonna have like is all your money gonna be in stuff now?
02:48:44.000Yeah You have to have gold bars in your house again now because digital money might not mean anything anymore It might get to a certain point where it's just distribution of resources.
02:48:53.000We when that's when we're losing genders and that's everything We're gonna fucking have giant heads and we're all gonna be like moving through space and time.
02:49:01.000It's coming It's coming We're all gonna jump right on board, too, because they're gonna come up with something, whether it's Neuralink or something else, that just makes life way better.
02:49:29.000Just like we laughed at people that didn't have shoes.
02:49:31.000That's why it's hard to get too worked up or upset about it because the reality is certain ideas just have a weird inertia to them that will happen anyway.
02:49:40.000They happen from the moment the first caveman knocked on Flint.
02:49:44.000From that barefoot caveman just knocking rocks together.
02:49:47.000And it kept getting better and better and better, and now it's achieved escape velocity.
02:49:52.000It's achieved this chaos of the combination of materialism, because everybody's obsessed with phones, everybody's obsessed with new things.
02:50:12.000It seems like a thing that the human animal does.
02:50:15.000It's what we do up until we hit that zenith point, when maybe the meteor hits, it all goes away, and then a couple years later, people build it back up.
02:50:22.000Or we become those things that we see flying around the sky.
02:50:45.000But this is just what we're going to look at this like.
02:50:47.000Once we find a way to travel intergalactically, that's the move.
02:50:50.000We're gonna realize, like, all the problems that people had are instantaneously solvable.
02:50:55.000All the chaos in our lives, all the war and death and murder and chaos and horrific things that happen, all that can erase with technology.
02:53:28.000And then you would think that the people that have the money are gonna get a giant advantage by having it because it really does increase the bandwidth to access to information and you could be much more productive.
02:53:38.000Like the way Elon was describing it, it's like you're gonna supercharge your mind ultimately.
02:53:43.000Initially they're gonna use it for people with injuries, spinal cord injuries and medical problems and they're gonna be able to Somehow or another activate areas of the spot, which is wild shit in and of itself.
02:53:55.000But if then you make it a fucking super person, like, you're literally gonna make an Iron Man?
02:54:54.000But the story was that they were supposed to be giving them some sort of inoculation for HIV. What CRISPR baby prison sentences mean for research?
02:55:02.000Chinese court sends strong signal by punishing He, Jiang, Kui, and two colleagues.
02:55:12.000It's a biophysicist who announced that he had created the world's first gene-edited babies to three years in prison.
02:55:18.000They sentenced him for illegal medical practice and handed down shorter sentences to two colleagues who assisted him.
02:55:25.000The punishments put to rest speculation over whether the Chinese government would bring criminal charges for an act that shocked the world and are likely to deter others from similar behaviors, says Chinese scientists.
02:55:37.000By the way, this thing that shocked the world, they're going to do it on all babies.
02:55:40.000It's going to take time, but they're going to do it on all babies.
02:58:21.000Okay, now new research shows the same alteration introduced into the girl's DNA. Detection of a gene called CCR5 not only makes mice smarter, but also improves human brain recovery after stroke and could be linked to greater success at school.
02:58:41.000It did affect their brains, says Alcino J. Silva, a neurobiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, whose lab uncovered a major new role for CCR5 gene in memory and the brain's ability to form new connections.
02:58:59.000Sorry, it's getting darker as the screen goes on.
02:59:28.000You know, we shouldn't manipulate life and da-da-da-da-da.
02:59:31.000But that's not going to win that argument.
02:59:33.000No, it's not going to win that argument.
02:59:34.000It's one of those things where, you know, when you give people the ability to do something, it can substantially increase a person's potential in everything.
03:00:24.000You're in the code of the fucking human body, and if you can delete genes that have problematic results in a certain percentage of the population, you could literally eliminate specific genetic diseases that people have.
03:00:39.000You could make sure that babies are not going to have any issues as they're developing in the womb.
03:00:45.000You'd be able to correct things, ultimately, one day.
03:00:48.000And that's what's going to lead people to get excited about it, and then it's going to continue to escalate.
03:00:53.000It's going to be something that's everywhere.
03:00:58.000The first use of an ex vivo CRISPR based therapy to treat a genetic disease.
03:01:04.000Researchers treated a patient with beta thalassemia in Germany in February 2019. Twelve more patients have since been treated and seven of them have been followed for at least three months.
03:01:16.000None of the patients need blood transfusions in the months after treatment.
03:01:20.000The first patient with SCD was treated with the same therapy in Nashville, Tennessee in July 2019. This patient, Victoria Gray, has shown remarkable progress.
03:01:29.000Hear from Gray herself, early results on other patients are promising too.
03:01:34.000All patients treated for SCD or beta thalassemia are showing normal to near normal hemoglobin levels.
03:01:43.000Where at least 30% of them or 40% of them of hemoglobin is fetal hemoglobin.
03:01:49.000In bone marrow samples taken from Gray, an additional SCD patient, and 5-bethalassemia patients, researchers found cells with the expected genetic edit that allows them to make fetal hemoglobin.
03:02:04.000This indicates that the edited cells have successfully taken up residence in the bone marrow.
03:02:10.000The only immediate side effect associated with the treatment resulted from the administration of chemotherapy.
03:02:16.000So only the chemotherapy fucked them up.
03:03:39.000But show them what they're out there shirts on because there's all these pictures of them without their shirts on their fucking suit like when the dude goes into the river that's seen in the first Yes, I mean come on.
03:03:49.000That's what we're all gonna look like.
03:03:51.000That's our future That's the future with genetic editing.
03:03:54.000You're not hugely different from that now You're gonna have much less of a trip than I will But he looked even better than that.
03:04:27.000And he's going to kill himself and destroy his body and his DNA is going to enter into the Earth's DNA. Look at this fucking frame on this man!
03:04:52.000Yes, so he's going to poison himself and it's going to break down his DNA and he's going to enter into the river.
03:04:57.000See, the spaceship has dropped him off for him to populate Earth just with his DNA and the idea is that it'll eventually integrate and become life.
03:05:37.000He dies and his body just destroys and falls apart and he falls into the river and integrates.
03:05:42.000And then the idea is, I guess, that his genetic material is the building blocks for whatever life is going to emerge on that planet.
03:05:51.000So what they think happened here was that human beings have been visited from the beginning of time, and that what happened was they recognized that there was an intelligent species emerging, but they were really, really,
03:06:07.000And so they give this intelligent species some of their genes or they manipulate their genes and allow them to advance much quicker than all the other primates or any other animal on the planet.
03:06:21.000And where did that intelligent race come from?
03:06:23.000Well, it depends on who you listen to.
03:06:25.000If you listen to some of the people that think that UFOs are coming from multiple different galaxies and multiple different planets, it could be from anywhere.
03:06:33.000But if you listen to the real kooks that believe that the Anunnaki came here, the Zechariah Sitchin stuff?
03:06:44.000The Zacharias Hitchin stuff is the fascinating stuff because it's all based on these ancient Sumerian texts.
03:06:49.000It's very in dispute of what this guy says.
03:06:51.000There's a whole website called SitchinIsWrong.com where they break down his assertions and say this is what's inaccurate and this is why it's wrong.
03:06:57.000But what's undeniable is that these people had a detailed map of the solar system 6,000 years ago that they wrote in clay that showed the sun at the center and all the planets in the correct orbit with the correct size.
03:07:12.000Not necessarily the ratio, but this one's bigger than that one.
03:07:15.000They had a knowledge of the cosmos in some strange way.
03:07:19.000And they also had depictions of these very tall, strange-looking figures With little monkey people on their laps.
03:07:28.000And they had the symbol for DNA, like the double helix DNA. They had that.
03:07:47.000Some people say it's all just ornamental and it's all just beautiful.
03:07:50.000Zechariah Sitchin believed that what those Sumerian texts depict is that there's a planet called Dimbiru, and the planet comes here, and the Anunnaki have been genetically manipulating people since the beginning.
