00:01:31.000I mean, officially, that's why they would give it to him.
00:01:34.000I was watching like his entourage, like the guys from his entourage.
00:01:37.000We need to get Elvis some cocaine for his throat.
00:01:39.000It was like this medical grade, the kind Robert Evans got busted trying to get the pure liquid cocaine, and they would just dip these cotton swabs in it, and they would just sit there and be ripped for hours, he said, on liquid.
00:02:46.000Because I had to go out for that because it's it's pretty serious.
00:02:49.000I don't fucking get in there What's your turbinates?
00:02:55.000Yeah, it's like these bumps in the middle my nose is fucked I'm getting hit or just oh well from everything I fell down a flight of stairs when I was five years old So I remember yeah, it was a little photo of me with a black eye when I was five I remember just slipped and fell down a cement flight of stairs Jesus Christ in my backyard when I was five smash my nose and And so,
00:03:13.000I think from then on, I never had a good nose.
00:03:16.000I think it was pretty fucked up from then on.
00:03:19.000I was a literal mouth breather until I was 40. And then I got my nose fixed.
00:03:27.000I just always had huge nostril capacity myself, so...
00:03:31.000Well, a lot of guys start out with huge nostril capacity, but if you get hit there enough, a lot of wrestlers and very much boxers, boxers, they get their nose smashed.
00:04:11.000I've known that guy for 20 plus years.
00:04:14.000Yeah, he used to do me and Sherrod's old podcast, Raze Wars, and he'd give me a ride back to Washington Heights, and it was like the funniest dude to hang out with that I ever met.
00:05:41.000I mean, I loved it when it came out, but I didn't know about how production, like the logistics of a show revolving around being drunk out at night.
00:06:03.000Imagine if you're like a health nut and you're like running every day and eating wheatgrass juice and you have to fucking hold the camera for that show.
00:06:12.000Yeah, I remember I didn't drink for like five years, okay?
00:06:16.000And I remember not like I was like I must have been so nauseous just when I was drunk because I can't stand everybody that was drunk around me.
00:06:25.000You're not at the same speed anymore and it gets like annoying.
00:09:12.000Well, around Gas Digital, Dave Smith, you say Dave, it's probably going to be Dave Smith, but Lewis went and checked his texts, and that's how he realized that, okay?
00:09:22.000So then they get Soder, they call Soder to call her up as Chappelle, so it's on mute for the podcast.
00:09:29.000And I think his whole thing is he's going to use the name Louis Jane Gobez in every sentence that he says to her.
00:11:51.000When we were kids, okay, like in high school, For example, when you heard about a rock star who did heroin, like when I heard about, I guess it was a little after high school, but Kurt Cobain.
00:13:05.000He goes, every day at lunchtime, he goes to this guy, he gets his bag, he sits in his car, he shoots it up, He sits in his car for an hour, and then he goes back to work.
00:14:56.000They prescribed me Suboxone to quit it.
00:14:58.000Right, but if they, what I'm saying is, like, if you went, like, straight, like, you were, you were fucked up and you went straight to a rehab center.
00:15:44.000I don't know if that's real, by the way.
00:15:45.000Ari told me a story about him where he was somewhere and he was taken, he took some Suboxone after he had done, you know, Oxy or something and he got real sick.
00:15:55.000So the stuff knocks it out of your system immediately, nail oxen or something when you take it.
00:16:00.000So you're supposed to be in withdrawal before you take it.
00:16:03.000So you have to wait until you're sick.
00:17:25.000How long were you taking Suboxone for?
00:17:28.000I don't know, like maybe almost a year, maybe not even, but I was down, dude, I was weaned down to the tiniest bit of it, because I was really like...
00:17:35.000And even the tiniest bit when you got off it completely, you had horrible troubles.
00:18:54.000Because that sounds insane to me that you would have to be on something for a full year to get over something that, like, what would it normally be?
00:19:01.000Like, if you were on those oxys and you quit cold turkey and had horrible withdrawals, how long would you feel like shit for?
00:20:05.000No, there's a deep, like, there's a deep, like, anger towards the very idea.
00:20:09.000Yeah, there's a deep resistance towards exercise.
00:20:11.000And I remember feeling, not like I'm mad at somebody that does work out, but I remember feeling like, I don't remember why, but I remember having that kind of feeling of, like...
00:20:22.000When you see something, when someone does something that's hard to do, also, it's connected to negative things, jocks, douchey male behavior, which I've been guilty of.
00:21:03.000I think you can get vitamin D from some plants, like small amounts of it from some plants, but I think primarily you get it from being in the sun, unless you're supplementing.
00:21:12.000That's what I did first before I was in the sun first, and it felt like I got- Oh, it's the best.
00:21:20.000That's by far the superior way to get vitamin D. Supplementing is just a safety measure, but you should supplement vitamin D. It's really important.
00:21:31.000It's so important for your immune system.
00:21:34.000According to Ron and Patrick and a lot of other people that know a lot more than I do about it, they say it's not even really a vitamin, it's a hormone.
00:21:41.000Yeah, I wonder why you can get it from the sun if it's a vitamin.
00:21:45.000It's pretty crazy, but it is a vitamin in that you could take it in a supplemental form.
00:21:51.000But it's so beneficial for your immune system.
00:21:54.000At one point in time, when they were linking COVID deaths with vitamin D deficiency...
00:22:00.000Four times higher survival rate if you had vitamin D levels, did you see that?
00:22:04.000And then the number of people that were in the ICU, the number of them, it was very high, that were deficient in vitamin D. It's just good for your immune system.
00:22:14.000It's a mood stabilizer, too, for those poor people that live in Seattle.
00:22:18.000Like, they need that something to fucking juice their mood up.
00:22:21.000That's the thing that the most I didn't realize.
00:23:46.000Yeah, and then, you know, but a couple, like a few days go by, I didn't do anything, I start to feel like an urge that I have to, you know?
00:23:55.000I feel like a, probably a lot of mood being held, a lot of my moods are probably being held together by that.
00:24:03.000I think that's the way the human body functions that it's most efficient, is when it's in a fit condition.
00:24:10.000I think the mind works better, the hormones work better, the mood works better, the cognitive function works better, all of it works better.
00:24:17.000The problem is it's just connected to so much douchery.
00:24:27.000I mean, not just with that, with everything, where...
00:24:31.000I've never seen it more than now, too, by the way, of like a petty, like, it doesn't matter what anybody's saying, it's like, what lunch table do they sit at?
00:24:52.000You can go to a bad gym, though, where people are very broed out, and if you're just not into that, you're just like all screaming.
00:24:59.000I mean negative towards other people that are working out there, which definitely happens, but sometimes people chalk up, and they get fucking crazy, and they push each other.
00:25:38.000I just don't want to be, like, hard-sold on a trainer, because, like, I go hike by my house, and then I do, like, wait, and I don't, like, have anybody even talking to me while I'm doing it.
00:27:40.000Yeah, people would blow on it, which is like worse.
00:27:43.000I'm already trying to sell you a cleaner.
00:27:44.000So they made them for every system, and then you get some kind of warranty with it, and you would like, it's like 15 bucks, and the markup's like 200%, so you get commission, right?
00:27:55.000And then you have to hit store numbers for the district manager, you know, like you're expected, because that's how they can be sure you're providing great service.
00:28:04.000If you don't sell this many, like 25% sales, we know you're not giving the customers great service because customers need a cleaner.
00:28:11.000So if you're giving good service, they've bought the cleaner.
00:28:13.000So it would create like this thing where it was like just fraud in every store because you got to...
00:28:19.000You know, if you're managing, you know the people that are good at this bullshit that you put up out front and some people that are like, you know, the non-social nerds.
00:31:30.000Quotas have been prohibited in California for 10 years, but police departments are even now facing lawsuits from their own officers alleging that ticket quotas are real.
00:31:40.000Yeah, there's a law about it in Texas.
00:31:41.000So maybe it's like a thing where they try...
00:31:58.000I was watching like, it's either FBI or CIA guy, but they're talking about, or I think it was a CIA guy talking about selling coke to fund the Contra or something like that.
00:32:07.000They're like, that's illegal, like we're not allowed to do that.
00:32:09.000And I'm like, you know, the mafia, it was illegal to sell, it was a death penalty if you were caught selling drugs.
00:32:15.000And yet somehow, A lot of fucking drugs.
00:32:47.000But that was like bringing jobs back to America, kind of, in a way, because you just, like, send somebody to a country that does do that.
00:32:52.000And then, you know, the Second Iraq War, when they made it, like, legal, that was what was so creepy about that, was to make it like, now we can do it.
00:35:22.000Of course I've been called a conspiracy theorist.
00:35:25.000But I don't deal in conspiracy theory, I deal in conspiracy fact.
00:35:30.000The mortal blow to human industrialized civilization will happen when oil prices spike and nobody can afford to buy that oil and everything will just shut down.
00:35:42.000Unlike the Great Depression, we do not have infinite resources.
00:37:09.000I will tell you, Director Deutsch, as a former Los Angeles police narcotics detective, that the agency has dealt drugs throughout this country for a long time.
00:37:18.000This is on C-SPAN in 96. It's still there.
00:38:15.000I will come back to you as we roll back across to the center section.
00:38:23.000Director Deutsch, I will refer you to three specific agency operations known as Amadeus, Pegasus, and Watchtower.
00:38:30.000I have Watchtower documents heavily redacted by the agency.
00:38:34.000I was personally exposed to CIA operations and recruited by CIA personnel who attempted to recruit me in the late 70s to become involved in protecting agency drug operations in this country.
00:38:45.000I have been trying to get this out for 18 years, and I have the evidence.
00:38:48.000My question for you is very specific, sir.
00:38:51.000If, in the course of the IG's investigations, and Fred Hitz's work, you come across evidence of severely criminal activity, and it's classified, will you use that classification to hide the criminal activity, or will you tell the American people the truth?
00:40:16.000It is your choice, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Inspector General, or office of one of your congresspersons from this I did that 18 years ago,
00:42:11.000Please, please, please keep the noise down so that we can hear and we can get answers.
00:42:19.000For the record, my name is Mike Rupert, R-U-P-P-E-R-T. I did bring this information out 18 years ago, and I got shot at and forced out of LAPD because of it.
00:42:28.000I've been on the record for 18 years nonstop, and I'll be happy to give you, Congressman, anything that I have.
00:43:15.000Well, back then there was no internet.
00:43:16.000You've got to realize if someone actually had information like that and people suspected it all along, obviously those people weren't shocked.
00:45:48.000I've never heard anybody say that they saw a body and have it be, like, 100% credible.
00:45:55.000Other than maybe that Travis Walton guy who claims to have been abducted in the 1970s, he's another one of those guys, like, if he's telling the truth.
00:46:04.000Okay, there were a number of labs we passed through before entered a section.
00:46:07.000Nixon pointed out what he said was the wreckage of a flying saucer enclosed in several large cases.
00:46:21.000Yeah, that's the thing I remember from this story.
00:46:23.000So I'm conflating this with something else.
00:46:26.000So that's right, they did have fucking supposedly dead frozen ones.
00:46:31.000The revelation of the US Secretary holding the corpses of dead aliens shook Gleason to the core and he couldn't eat or sleep for weeks.
00:46:38.000After being confronted by his wife Beverly, Gleason told her the truth about that night and swore her to secrecy, but Jackie and Beverly Gleason were already in the process of separating.
00:46:48.000The final straw in the relationship would be Beverly breaking her vow and revealing the encounter to the magazine Esquire.
00:47:09.000Stung and humiliated by the betrayal, Jackie stayed silent until 1986. Finally ready to talk, he invited Larry Warren, a flying saucer evangelist, author, and eyewitness to the Randall Sam...
00:48:25.000The Richard Nixon, Jackie Gleason, Dead Alien Chronicle, in a glass case tale, now accepted part of UFO internet lore, is based almost entirely on hearsay, coincidence, or an imagination.
00:48:55.000So it says, as critical thinkers, we can't dismiss a story out of hand because it's preposterous, but we can dismiss a story if the facts don't fit together.
00:49:27.000A little investigation into Nixon's daily diary reveals that Nixon was in Key Biscayne in February 1973 for a meeting with the AFL-CIO. He spent less than 40 minutes speaking and glad-handing with guests at Gleason's annual golf tournament at the Invery Golf and Country Club,
00:49:49.000At most ten minutes available to chat with Gleason about UFOs.
00:49:53.000Nothing else in Nixon's diary indicates that the president did or didn't slip his Secret Service detail and go on an alien adventure with Ralph Cramden.
00:50:01.000But that doesn't mean he didn't do it.
00:50:03.000That just means he didn't write about it in his diary.
00:50:05.000Why would he write about that in his diary?
00:50:07.000Where the story really starts to fall apart is Beverly Gleason's interview with Esquire because it doesn't appear to exist.
00:50:20.000What did turn up, however, was an article supposedly written by Beverly from the National Enquirer dated August 16th in 1983. Discerning readers will note that the Esquire and the Enquirer have different thresholds for veracity and adjust their expectations accordingly.
00:50:35.000That's a very good sentence right there.
00:51:33.000How do we know that she didn't actually write a book?
00:51:36.000Now, that's also because Nixon didn't write about it in his diary.
00:51:41.000If Nixon's the fucking kind of guy who likes to get drunk and take people to see UFOs, he's not going to be meticulous about every fucking thing he does all day long.
00:51:49.000And you don't think that they could hide that?
00:51:51.000I like that back then he was only really open about recording his racist rants and not his...
00:51:57.000But dude, back then, fucking Lyndon Johnson used to take a shit in front of the reporters with the door open.
00:52:50.000When I was a security guard at Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts when I was 19, and I was backstage, and he was working there, and I couldn't believe I could actually see him.
00:53:06.000I looked down the corridor, and I saw...
00:53:35.000And he would do stand-up and just go out there with a fucking bathrobe on.
00:53:38.000This was also like when he was putting together the Rodney Dangerfield stand-up specials, which were the most important stand-up specials ever.
00:53:45.000They introduced the world to Bill Hicks, Dice Clay, Sam Kinison, Dom Herrera, Lenny Clark, who else?
00:55:00.000He told me a story, and I think this has been verified on a podcast, but they were doing Cogan and Richard Pryor Jr. fucked Sam Kinison up the ass, because Sam Kinison said, I gotta know what it's like to be fucked by Richard Pryor Jr., and then he did, and I think Richard Pryor Jr. has told this on a podcast.
00:56:20.000We were talking about Bob Lazar, and after I've talked to him, and I've seen all the interviews he's done, I've talked to the detractors, and I've listened to their take on things.
00:58:04.000The weird thing I was telling Jamie is it'll be report on something and then I'll notice the other news, YouTube and elsewhere, reporting on it later, like four months later they're talking about it.
00:58:17.000Like an embargo has been lifted when you're allowed to review the...
00:58:21.000Things get to a point where they're so prevalent in the news that you kind of have to address them now.
00:58:26.000There's a thing where if you want to have access to the people, you're going to have to be doing part PR for them, or you're out of the club.
00:58:35.000So all these people that he's had on, this is what I like about him, is all these people he's had on, if they don't do the thing they said, he brings it up.
00:58:42.000He doesn't politely, you know, he doesn't do any of that team shit where you're supposed to like, I know this is a lie, but we have to go with it because the bad people could win.
00:59:33.000You're a quick Well, if I give him stuff, because I like to have more time for my first angry thoughts to at least try to marinate into clevers because they don't come out.
01:00:08.000It doesn't just mean like a corporation.
01:00:10.000It means just all kinds of people looking to see if they can find something that they could make a name for talking about that you tweeted.
01:00:32.000That's all they do is call people out.
01:00:35.000That's their only contribution, which is great.
01:00:38.000I can't believe how much that became the real news.
01:00:41.000Because they don't want to pay to do journalism, so all the people that just got their start doing that moved up through the ranks into real news.
01:00:55.000And also, you know, when the rise of these independent things like Jimmy Show and Crystal and Kyle and Sagar...
01:01:04.000You know these people who are trustworthy like you could you could count on them to give you information They have opinions and perspective and they might have their own biases But they're not liars and they don't own they're not owned by a lot of them a lot of them do get money for you be surprised It's been very surprising who gets money from what since I've been I don't think any of those guys do the guys that I just mentioned well Jimmy doesn't All the Ukraine stuff,
01:01:29.000here's what's really creepy to me, is it's all slow to mention how fucked up the Ukraine situation is.
01:01:39.000And the other really eerie thing is, I remember this before I did anything with Jimmy's show, like in 2018, they were constantly reporting on Ukraine's got a Nazi problem.
01:01:48.000That was a huge, on all the major things they were saying.
01:01:52.000And corruption, deep, deep corruption.
01:01:55.000Yeah, and so now, if you look at New York Times, he showed it, the celebrated Azov battalion.
01:02:01.000They've even dropped saying the Nazi part.
01:02:04.000Did you see the thing of Jon Stewart hanging the medal on the Nazis' neck at Disney World with a Mickey Mouse behind him?
01:06:04.000He had to give some fun disclosures on that video where he's like, before we get started on this, let me tell you that all my business accounts are involved in FTX and I've invested in it.
01:06:11.000Dude, there's a video of him on Shark Tank tearing apart some guy who brought a Ponzi scheme to him.
01:06:22.000Yeah, but he does it's just if you know the right people and you're that his brother works with like a Gap or something a guard against pandemics every single thing that you would see Did you see what the young lady said she posted it on Twitter about her regular amphetamine use?
01:06:38.000Oh, they're checking people's make life.
01:06:41.000What does she say makes real life seem silly?
01:06:44.000See if you can find out what her post was but she was talking on Twitter about a How consuming amphetamines on a regular basis made non-medicated life seem dumb.
01:07:45.000Everybody I ever knew that was some kind of fitness freak knew a lot of shit about they weren't like stupid people that shouldn't do research They were way ahead of everyone else I knew You know how like Weightlifting supplements.
01:09:10.000Today we're talking about Sam Bankman-Fried and his nootropic use, his drug use, his cognitive enhancing, dopaminergic enhancing drugs that he's using to stay cognitively fucking dialed, dude, for being the hyperproductive entrepreneur that he is,
01:12:24.000He was a heterosexual guy with Parkinson's.
01:12:26.000He had a little bit of a shake, and so he starts taking this drug, and he just can't stop sucking cock and rolling dice.
01:12:31.000He's just out there, compulsive behavior, wildly compulsive, like finding people on ads and just fucking them, and they fuck him, and wild shit.
01:12:41.000He couldn't believe what he was doing.
01:13:16.000Or is it other drugs that make you gamble, too?
01:13:18.000Any of those ones that are, you know, with the suicidal ideation or whatever they call it happens, there's something that inhibits your fear.
01:13:28.000Your anxiety about all kinds of things, but it could be for death, too.
01:13:34.000You're supposed to be afraid of taking your own life.
01:13:38.000Well, also taking other people's lives.
01:13:40.000That's the correlation, not causation, that people make with psych drugs and shooters.
01:13:46.000Yeah, well, Tom Cruise, when he said Matt Lauer was being glib, I laughed, but you know what?
01:14:28.000So the statement used to be that there was like a measurable chemical imbalance that certain people had that was leading them to be depressed.
01:14:36.000And now they're saying that's not something they can measure.
01:15:12.000So psychiatry gave up on the chemical imbalance theory a long time ago, they're saying.
01:15:17.000So they're saying maybe it's a common thought and they're saying it like it was a recent thing, but it wasn't.
01:15:25.000The review published by international research team including first author...
01:15:30.000Professor Joanna Moncrief aimed to assess the available evidence for and against the serotonin theory of depression systematically.
01:15:39.000The team explained this theory near the start of the paper.
01:15:42.000The theory is the idea that depression is the result of abnormalities in brain chemicals, particularly serotonin.
01:15:49.000The theory has been around for decades, but their overreaching conclusion is that That it is not correct, given that there appears to be no link between measurable serotonin concentration and depression.
01:16:24.000So he says, the findings from this umbrella review are really unsurprising.
01:16:29.000Depression has lots of different symptoms, and I don't think I've met any serious scientists or psychiatrists who think that all causes of depression are caused by a simple chemical imbalance in serotonin.
01:17:00.000The company, well, okay, I don't remember the name of the drug, but the old commercial I saw played, and so they're saying right there, we think it's out.
01:17:07.000They're not guaranteeing it in the commercial, but everyone I knew remembers it as, oh, it's that simplified thing that they're all saying, none of them were ever saying.
01:17:14.000Well, maybe they weren't in charge of marketing, but the people in charge of marketing were making it seem very much like that's the thing.
01:17:34.000Professor of psychopharmacology at the University of Oxford said no mental health professional would currently endorse the view that a complex heterogeneous condition like depression stems from a deficiency in a single neurotransmitter.
01:17:47.000So he's saying that it's probably more things.
01:20:42.000Of any of the things that's a good side effect of if you're in any kind of show business, when you get hooked up, you're like, oh, I could go backstage at a thing.
01:23:48.000Yeah, everyone, it's like, everything's to train you to get to be, like, you don't really get to pick if you say whatever your politics, right?
01:24:32.000So it's Al Franken, some other white guy, the reporter, the woman, and then I can't remember the black guy's name, but she's like first hearing the non-binary thing.
01:24:44.000So now they're in a bad spot because you're supposed to immediately go along with that.
01:26:52.000And then you find all these things, like Common, I don't have kids, so I remember Common Core came out and I would just hear everybody complaining about Common Core.
01:27:01.000That's his, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation money made that a national thing.
01:30:00.000Like, without even knowing anything about the situation, if you just live through the last ridiculous disasters that we should not have done, how would you be all in on this?
01:30:15.000We just assume everything you're hearing is a lie after the last, I don't know, 20 years?
01:30:20.000Some people don't, and some people don't know what to think.
01:30:23.000I'm in the don't know what to think category.
01:30:26.000I don't think there's a good or a bad going on here.
01:30:29.000It's obviously bad that Russia invaded Ukraine.
01:30:32.000It's definitely not good that there's a war going on.
01:30:35.000And I don't understand why this can't be negotiated.
01:31:45.000Well, I think less people buy the official narrative more than ever, but people get caught in camps, right?
01:31:53.000And if you're camp left-wing, you're camp pro-Ukraine, you're pro-the-war, negative, I don't want to hear any negative things, the Azovs are, what do they call them now?
01:33:26.000From what things that he said publicly like there's some shit going down like What those people were supposed to do and what they were actually doing and the way they were censoring people and it was real well you watch his stupid like I'm sure anyone there that got cleared out,
01:33:45.000I have no, oh, I'll bet they were really valuable.
01:33:50.000I don't even, I don't even think of, I see them reporting, I'm like, these are the people that made it great.
01:34:06.000First of all, the idea of a shadow ban, just to begin with, How is that okay?
01:34:12.000There's some guy, I think that's an upper echelon video too, the guy that came up with it was some creep like, so he's like creepy like tech people.
01:34:22.000They're all like, you know, like a Reddit moderator level kind of person, which is, you know, I don't know if you know how brutal that is, but he came up with that like as a little like, wouldn't it be a great way like to just ban and they don't even know why they're banned and it just took off through the whole industry.
01:35:22.000He got kicked off for making fun of, like, Oliver Darcy and saying something like, he's like, I forget, it's something like an animal coming out of another animal's ass.
01:37:50.000I was looking up for something else for a joke for the show and I was looking up polio because I got that when I was five in the 80s, right?
01:39:46.000Detection of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus 2. Vaccine-derived poliovirus is a well-documented type of poliovirus that is mutated from the strain originally contained in the oral polio vaccine.
01:40:00.000The oral polio vaccine contains a live, weakened form of poliovirus.
01:40:57.000But this is the thing I didn't think of at the time.
01:40:59.000It's already stupid on the face of it, because when they come out and, I'm sorry, there's an unvaccinated person, your loved one has to die.
01:42:08.000They clogged up the emergency room in Oklahoma because they were having ivermectin overdoses, and there was no room for the gunshot wounds.
01:42:14.000Right, and there hadn't been a gunshot wound in that town.
01:43:41.000Also, like, what does that make Ukraine?
01:43:44.000If Ukraine wins in the Ukraine, do they join the UN? Do they never join the UN? Are they a part of NATO? They're not in the UN. Or NATO, they're not in.
01:44:19.000And that if they could get them to join NATO... There's a whole bunch of people that think that, yeah, NATO should expand as much as possible, and it should go everywhere.
01:44:27.000Like, you could hear Condoleezza and Hillary.
01:48:29.000DHS replaced the color-coded alerts of Homeland Security Advisory Systems with the National Terrorism Advisory System in 2011. So they ran that shit for a few years.
01:50:02.000They convinced him that he should blow up this fake bomb, and they gave him a cell phone to blow up the fake bomb, and then when he tried to activate the fake bomb, they arrested him?
01:50:37.000I guess how entrapment works is not how I would have thought entrapment works.
01:50:42.000You could have a kind of shitty person go in undercover and make up a plan with some guy who's weak or stupid and wouldn't have done it otherwise.
01:50:53.000There's like 300 or something cases of that with Islamic terrorists.
01:50:56.000But before that, there's a famous one with some kid who's like a virgin and they got a girl to fuck him and draw up a plan and he just gave him money against some loser.
01:51:05.000And then you catch him and there's funding.
01:51:07.000Meanwhile, the Boston Marathon bomber slipped through.
01:53:51.000They believe that Tamerlin had been a federal informant.
01:53:54.000They wrote, we based this information from our client's family and other sources that the FBI made more than one visit to talk to Tamerlin and asked him to be an informant reporting on the Chechen and Muslim community.
01:54:58.000He went over to Dagestan, I think, where he was trying to, according to some officials, get involved with some fighters, which, according to this, then they didn't let him in because of his ties to conspicuous Western culture, it says right here.
01:56:20.000Because he was talking to them about it?
01:56:23.000Can you imagine if you're hanging around with dudes who are talking about blowing up a nuke in Manhattan, and you're in the same cell as them, same terror cell, and you're like, uh, yeah, man, sounds like a good idea, sounds like a plan.
01:57:23.000But people would be scared when they hear you bring up some kind of illegal thing, and they might act like it's okay and then go report it.
02:00:44.000And they're asking about the data, and the guy's holding up what they were given, and it's all blacked out, except for one line here and there.
02:00:51.000That's just the contract with the drug companies that the guy's government made.
02:01:46.000And then the whole thing about you have to bail them out, and then the people that you bail out are allowed to get bonuses, like giant bonuses.
02:02:37.000Steve said, you just bring a didgeridoo to Hawaii and walk along the beach just playing and you could get some kind of patronage eventually.
02:05:12.000And he said a lot of it's not written down either, unfortunately.
02:05:15.000So, like, if they die, if they die off, and sometimes they'll have, like, you know, historically, they were poisoned by people that lived there.
02:07:14.000I mean, I thought you'd done as well as you could do it.
02:07:18.000But the guy's doing that throat, it's not, you know, that, I don't know, not Tibet, that throat singing where it's like almost like some Mongol shit and they make a didgeridoo.
02:08:48.000It's gonna be like flying drones that know where your location is at all times.
02:08:52.000Dude, that movie that you showed, that Collapse movie, which I remember when that came out, and how bizarre that is, that it's getting great reviews back then, because it was like...
02:09:15.000It's all like a label that could be changed at a moment's notice, and you're supposed to forget what it meant Like two weeks ago.
02:09:21.000The fact that it can be changed at a moment, Ellis, and the fact that you can get people to support war, you can get people to ignore the existence of the military-industrial complex and the amount of money that is involved in that and the influence that that has.
02:09:36.000Dude, that's the worst part of that Jon Stewart thing, because you can see he's like, I'm not trying to hold your feet if I keep doing that, because he wants to get to something.
02:09:46.000And then what he gets to is, okay, I know, do you think this isn't cost-effective for our empire?
02:09:53.000The only appeal he makes to him is, maybe we're stretching our empire too thin, and is it fiscally...
02:09:58.000That's all he'll broach the topic with them.
02:13:20.000To this day, like one of the greatest musical performances I've ever seen.
02:13:23.000It's Gary Clark Jr.'s version of the Allman Brothers' Midnight Rider with Suzanne Santo singing, and she doesn't totally know the words, so she Googled it and got the fucking lyrics on her phone.
02:18:57.000No, I think that was an in-the-moment thing.
02:19:01.000Well, I think I was in a moment, because when I watch that, I don't, well, this is what I'd be thinking, which looks to me like Chris Rogers thinking is, first of all, this is the worst gig ever, being a funny comedian at the Oscars.
02:19:31.000I'm sure, like, that's what I would have thought, and I would have been, because I don't like to have to deal, like, until it hit him, I bet he didn't even realize it was an actual thing until right when he hit him.
02:20:58.000And then get slapped by this guy who winds up winning the Oscar, and they give him a fucking standing ovation after you got slapped by that guy.
02:24:43.000Anymore that gets branded you're the fucking brand.
02:24:46.000That's what you are now That's what I know not to talk to a person.
02:24:49.000Yeah, I love what you've done with your brand Kurt.
02:24:51.000Oh my god No, no one has ever said that to me once I just did I'm so glad I'm the first No one has ever handled my brand.
02:25:03.000Well, I've had a dozen people tell me that Well, but okay, that's that's your brand, but what is better than but I mean, but still nonsense Yeah, but that was the first...
02:25:13.000I bet I could guess their age from if they said, I love your brand, because there was a time when that was...
02:25:18.000Yeah, but then it became, you are the brand.
02:25:23.000So you wouldn't even think about it and of it belonging to you.
02:30:04.000Somebody made it the bit of animation was created in 2011 So this bit of animation was created on the B3TA board an internet forum that frequently features photoshopped images in March of 2011 But even without knowing the source behind the image viewers can spot many other factors that demonstrate It was not part of an official Disney film I,
02:30:44.000I didn't think it could be possible, and if I thought it was possible, the thing that was getting me like, how do I not know this yet?
02:30:50.000No, that's what I was thinking, because The Little Mermaid, just the mere suggestion that there were dicks hidden in the background of the cover.
02:32:03.000I've heard other talk shows, but Phil Donahue to announce that they worship Satan, and that's why they're putting a satanic symbol on the shampoo.
02:37:09.000And when I went there, they used to have this cool black market around Shanghai where you could find, like, what I wish I could have got was the Nike Reeboks.
02:37:19.000They had sneakers that said both Nike and Reebok on them.
02:37:23.000But that was all over with by the time I got there.
02:37:26.000But they still have entire stores over there that are Apple stores that are not really Apple stores.
02:37:40.000Yeah, it's like, I don't even understand why I wouldn't do this thing.
02:37:45.000Well, it's like the scooping up of intellectual information.
02:37:50.000What they do with, like, that's why Huawei got banned in the United States, because they think they're using their routers to scoop up information.
02:37:57.000So if you're creating something, you're in some company.
02:38:00.000Chinese authorities shut down elaborate fake Apple service center.
02:38:03.000That is very elaborate, because that does not...
02:38:05.000The last story I could find, 2018, most of them were saying there's a few of them around, and then they said they shut it down.
02:38:36.000Look, the amount of money that you actually spend on weed, even if weed is more than it is now, in comparison to alcohol, it's not even comparable.
02:39:06.000Yeah, I'll see videos pop up online where it'll be like, I can't remember who it was, it was some rapper, and they were showing him joints that were like $40,000.
02:40:51.000So they're really kind of cool and passionate.
02:40:53.000Well, a good friend of mine I won't say, but back in New York, who ended up having a pretty good cannabis business, and there was something like, he was working with the city government on the down low, because to say about legal, you know, they work with people,
02:41:08.000New York has all those deliveries, and that delivery of weed scene was pretty surprisingly violent to me, of bicycle guys, what was that HBO show, High Maintenance, About a guy who delivers weed on his bike.
02:42:22.000Wait, that probably makes legal sense, though, because if you could get busted any minute.
02:42:26.000Everywhere I've been, the way that if you use a card, it's still doing some weird thing where you're paying somebody else and then they're paying them.
02:43:10.000And it's about how their cartels are growing weed on public forestry.
02:43:15.000They go to public forest land, like in the fucking California mountains and shit, and they set up these grow-ups, and they grow weed, and they stay there, and they camp there, and they're using these fucking seriously dangerous pesticides and herbicides, and the shit gets in the water supply.
02:43:33.000Like, to even go into business, the way it's...
02:43:37.000I think all these places, when they legalize it, want to have, like, a monopoly that's in cozy with, like, whatever politicians putting it through, because they make it hard.
02:43:44.000You have to have, like, half an illegal grow to support your legal grow, because you have to have so many...
02:43:50.000I don't know, however they measure it, to legally be able to do it.
02:43:54.000And it's made that way on purpose, to make sure it's, like, only, like, a real...
02:44:03.000They had something for prisoners in L.A. It's like black prisoners released from the drug war stuff where they get first dibs on getting license to grow.
02:44:14.000Imagine getting arrested for something and then you get first dibs on license to grow it legally.
02:45:50.000I know that was true at one point in time, but if you're caught growing marijuana illegally in California, it's a misdemeanor.
02:45:57.000You're causing a stampede at the border right now.
02:46:00.000But I think they're so lenient about it because it is legal to grow it in the state, and so there's some weird fucking reason why they decided to do it there.
02:46:09.000I think he said something like 90% of the illegal weed.
02:46:12.000You can grow up to six plants, but the law makes it a misdemeanor if you grow an excess of that.
02:47:32.000So they basically developed a tactical unit.
02:47:35.000So he went from From being a game warden, I'm gonna check people's fishing licenses, to being a guy who's like in a shootout with a cartel in the woods.
02:49:06.000You know, it's like pharmaceutical companies, of course, and alcohol companies, because they're like, we get regulated, like they're just going to make another drug and not some police union, I think?
02:49:55.000They use everything, debt peonage, where, you know, you get busted for some dumb charge, like vagrancy or something, for 75 bucks, and then a guy's like, I'll pay your fine, and you can come and work on my plantation.
02:50:07.000And they lock you up like a slave, and you can't...
02:50:11.000So, and then, and so then they finally, I think a white guy, because it wasn't limited to black people, if you're like a, some kid was visiting down south and got caught up in it and died.
02:50:22.000I think that's why it made the papers, this debt peonage thing.
02:50:25.000And their defense in court was, no, we're not doing debt peonage, we have slaves.
02:50:33.000And they didn't stop it until like 1942 after Pearl Harbor because the Japanese, and this is in the newspapers, the Japanese were using it as propaganda.
02:50:58.000You always hear about, like, slavery and Jim Crow.
02:51:00.000But they would be able to decide how much you got paid?
02:51:03.000That's how we got all these, like, we're talking about, is there a quota?
02:51:07.000All this shit grew out of that, you know?
02:51:10.000And some of these places, it's all inertia.
02:51:13.000You know, like, in Texas, I don't know how big, maybe it's bigger news than the state, but I was trying to figure out, because I was like, all this, like, prison labor, if you think, like, illegal immigration is lowering wages, like, I'll bet all the prison labor lowers wages a lot, right?
02:51:28.000So I go to look it up, and then here in Texas, it's not even profitable.
02:51:33.000They have people picking cotton, and it's not even better than just not having that, but they've just had it for so long.
02:51:41.000So they have slaves pick cotton here in Texas?
02:52:50.000Do you just tell them they have to fight a wildfire no matter what?
02:52:53.000Prisoners who want to enter the conservation camp program must meet security requirements and undergo two weeks of training.
02:53:01.000The all-inmate crews live in so-called fire camps and are led by personal Personnel from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection or Cal Fire.
02:53:22.000I'm going to give you a bump to $3.10 and $5.20.
02:53:27.000When fighting a fire, though their numbers have fluctuated over the years, they have often compromised approximately one-third of California's firefighting force.
02:53:35.000So to put it on in a positive spin, is it possible that it's one of those things, like if you're a specialist in times of war, And they need to make you work.
02:53:53.000If you signed up to be a part of this crew when you were trained and then a wildfire broke out, maybe it was part of the agreement when you signed up that if some shit hit the fan, they were allowed to keep you longer because you were very difficult to train.
02:54:08.000But if you signed up for this program, it would lead to you maybe getting paroled earlier.
02:56:02.000I saw him telling a story about being in the joint with Charles Manson.
02:56:06.000He said that he was like this little ratty guy that had like a rope for a belt, but he could hypnotize you to feel like you were on heroin.
02:56:13.000But the only thing is, you had to have done heroin before.
02:56:16.000So his one friend, it wouldn't work on him, but him and his buddy, he said, the guy hypnotized him and they threw up and got high.
02:59:21.000Researchers at the Wright Laboratory in Ohio, a predecessor to today's United States Air Force Research Laboratory, began exploring some alternative options.
02:59:59.000Okay, they put together a three-page proposal in which they detailed their $7.5 million invention, the gay bomb.
03:00:08.000The gay bomb would be a cloud of gas that would discharge over enemy camps that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another.
03:00:25.000Dude, that would be a great series, like somebody, you're a secret, and you get to use all the failed, like you have a gay ball.
03:00:34.000You have access to all the kind of embarrassing things that they worked on.
03:00:38.000But how funny is the way they look at gay people?
03:00:42.000They think that if everybody just became gay, they would just totally be distracted about this whole war thing and just want to fuck.
03:01:08.000Among the more comical ideas was a bomb titled Who Me, which simulated flatulence among the ranks, hopefully distracting the soldiers with terrible smells long enough for the US to attack.
03:01:24.000The idea was scrapped almost immediately, however, after researchers pointed out that some people throughout the world don't find the smell of flat shells particularly offensive.
03:01:58.000Dude, who was the guy that wrote for Hollywood Squares for Whoopi and he's like a real famous guy and he's got like big Sesame Street monster hair?
03:02:36.000The female wasp injects the caterpillar with her eggs and a virus, which shuts down the caterpillar's ability to defend itself against these intruders.
03:02:43.000The wasp larvae deposited into the caterpillar's body begin to grow beneath the surface, snacking on the caterpillar innards.
03:05:40.000Yeah, but it's not what I'm thinking of.
03:05:42.000I'm thinking of there's a bunch of different laws that inject their larva into other creatures and they paralyze the creature and then the body just swarms with these little larvae.
03:05:54.000Oh, you just reminded me of something.
03:06:24.000After rearing the wasp and gathering funding, Heron brought planes and coordinated strategic airdrops and ground release of wasp cocoons to areas affected by the mealybug.
03:06:37.000For those locations, the wasp populations grew and spread on their own, reducing the mealybug population to manageable levels for years.
03:06:44.000Wow, that's a fucking science experiment.
03:08:20.000Like, if you just think of, like, I remember people as I think of all the gay animals that you ever heard about, because when they first cataloged them, they didn't want to say, like, oh, don't mention that.
03:11:03.000I remember a book came out of his that at the time It's like when I was getting out of- Make sure that's him who wrote that.
03:11:08.000When I was getting out of Art Institute that people were like throwing up at the readings of some- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:11:12.000He's been asked to leave these writers groups because this stuff was too disturbing.
03:11:19.000He talked about that you know he talked about like you you have to be free to make disturbing things otherwise like How do you know how do you know what you're doing?
03:11:28.000How do you you got to be free to express yourself?
03:11:31.000And some of it's not pretty and some of the stuff that's not pretty is fucking fascinating to people Especially sometimes you got a graphic describe someone's asshole being sucked at a jet engine I just gotta say it.
03:12:23.000The Missing Link is a Chula Indian on a date with a graduate student who's doing her dissertation on Sasquatches and associated phenomena.
03:12:32.000She believes that a recent plane crash was caused by a 13-year-old Chula Indian girl who transformed as if a werewolf aboard the plane and caused the crash.
03:12:42.000She relates her theory to Missing Link who tells her the girl in question was his sister.
03:12:51.000You know, when you were telling me that cartel thing, do you think a bunch of these Sasquatch sightings, it was like a Scooby-Doo, they dressed as a Sasquatch to scare?
03:13:00.000It's funny that you say that, because there's actually a documentary called Sasquatch, and it's about a Sasquatch killing these guys who are doing the exact same thing we're talking about.
03:16:36.000If you went back to the original human, the earliest version of the anatomically current human being, whatever that was, 500, 700,000 years ago, whatever it was, I would love to see what that dude looked like when he walked around.
03:16:58.000Imagine being in a time machine where you could just exist in a bubble that no one could see and you could follow around some dude living...
03:17:08.000900,000 years ago how fucking wild would that be just to imagine that this guy just figuring out you could bang rocks into the shape of a tool that this guy is one day gonna pilot in the airplane that this guy is I'll bet it it's a lot like you ever watch like Alaska wilderness people and you know if it's not a reality show they're clipping it together it's probably real dull you ever see reality shows made it's just hours of so you'd spend hours watching everything but you'd want someone to aggregate the interesting parts to you Look
03:17:45.000It's not known what speeds the likes of Usain Boltz, Johann Blake, or Tyson Gray could reach if they were being chased in fear of their lives.
03:18:16.000Yeah, they definitely found some in Spain, but they found some in America that takes our idea of when human beings were here way, way, way back.
03:20:14.000Okay, so they pushed it back a thousand years.
03:20:16.000A lot of stuff's based on dates that are, like, way older.
03:20:19.000You ever see the, you know, when they get it right with, like, a dinosaur skeleton?
03:20:23.000I mean, as far as you know, how, like, off it is.
03:20:27.000Somebody did a cool thing where they showed if, like, you found horse bones, like, what the way we draw the dinosaurs, what it would look like.
03:20:33.000It looks crazy because it's always too tight on the skeleton.
03:20:36.000You know, there's not enough, like, meat built on it in most of the conceptions.
03:23:29.000Yeah, he's got an IWC pilot's watch on.
03:23:33.000Yeah, that whole way of discovering things that used to exist is so crazy if you think about it that way that it has to die in a very specific way to make a fossil.
03:23:44.000There's that one dinosaur that they had in one of the Jurassic Park movies that fights a T-Rex and they just figured out totally...
03:26:18.000But when you have brutal war after brutal war, you have areas of this world where they've been under the control of dictators, and then you just get rid of that dictator.
03:26:28.000You have all these people that have been living in this brutal scenario.
03:26:32.000With these totalitarian governments and executions and military, and then another powerhouse just comes in and takes over.
03:26:41.000But his thing was, I remember, this is the thing I remember, there was a moment during the war on terror that I remember they were kind of rehabbing his image, because he would go on the news and he was saying, like, we need to stop this Islamic terror.
03:26:54.000He was saying that, and he came to America in his big tent.
03:27:53.000Because I remember I saw a movie, a documentary called The Mad Dog Killer.
03:27:57.000And I remember seeing one about Saddam Hussein when I was younger that, not that I was a fan of Saddam Hussein, but it was like, there's one part where they're talking about his kids, you know?
03:29:02.000Especially when it's time, you know, also, Saddam was given the key to the city of Dearborn, Michigan when I was young, back when we liked him, when he fought Iran.
03:29:12.000So, I bet they did all kinds of crazy stuff and we liked him, and all of a sudden, now that we don't like you, now it's a problem that you do this.
03:30:47.000He was shot dead inside his home in the Perlin 5 neighborhood in the hills above Port-au-Prince at 0100 local time on 7 July 2021, according to police.
03:32:07.000Dimitri Herard, head of the Haiti Presidential Palace Security Union, visited Colombia six times this year from January to May, and his security firm has been linked to CTU Security, the Miami-based security firm that recruited the mercenaries.
03:32:26.000I never heard any more reporting on it for a good long while until the reporting that we just sent a bunch of like heavy-duty equipment to quell The protests I guess they're rioters and bad But that's the story but that's I heard that and then nothing about it So a US firm hired the hit people is that's what they're alleging.
03:34:19.000Makes you want to dig into this stuff more.
03:34:23.000No, I would say don't dig into any of it is my advice.
03:34:27.000When France extorted Haiti after enduring decades of exploitation at the hands of the French, Haiti somehow ended up paying reparations to the tune of nearly 30 billion in today's money.
03:34:39.000You would think that would be a bigger thing.
03:34:53.000Remember all those Haitian immigrants are coming in they were saying they were whipping them, but it was like the reins on the guy's horse Yeah, that was people at the border.
03:35:03.000They just had a photo that made it look like maybe he had swung that at somebody, but it was really just the rain on the horse.
03:35:10.000Everything's so goddamn dishonest and also...
