Chef Andrew Gruhl joins us to talk about the Elon Musk assassination threat, the Democratic National Committee s attempt to censor the internet, and the break-in at his house. Plus, a new conspiracy theory about a nuclear substation in North Carolina.
00:00:23.000I was grabbing a nice little quart of lobster bisque when I get a message that Elon Musk is live on Twitter Spaces talking about what was going on with the Twitter files, the things the government has been accused of doing in terms of censorship and election interference, just really crazy stuff.
00:00:39.000And I'm walking around Whole Foods and I got this phone up to my ear listening to this crazy conversation when Elon Musk said something to the effect of, if I commit suicide, it's not real.
00:00:50.000Because people were talking about the real threat to his life because of what he's doing.
00:01:05.000He talks about how the threat of assassination is real.
00:01:08.000And I think that's really interesting.
00:01:09.000And it's also interesting how the media has been putting out this generic message of PR for the richest man in the world, all identical, like puppets being given marching orders.
00:01:20.000The crazy thing is, the story itself, Matt Taibbi, I think, did a great job, but he made a big mistake.
00:01:26.000In the Twitter files, if you didn't see it, on Friday, they basically revealed that the Democratic National Committee was reaching out to Twitter for favors to take content down.
00:01:36.000Now, in one of the tweets, Matt Taibbi said he didn't see evidence that government was involved.
00:01:40.000However, Jack Posobiec followed up with an FEC document showing the head of SiteTrust, or whatever, Yoel Roth, saying that he had been reached out to by the FBI, that there would be hacked information coming to the platform to be disseminated, and it would involve Hunter Biden.
00:01:56.000This means the government did go to the highest level of Twitter, tell them to take it down, the Twitter files then expose that they had no real justification for blocking the story, but decided to do it anyway.
00:02:41.000I kind of don't think so, considering you can't mistake this property when you get on it and everything that's happening there.
00:02:45.000And after nearly being struck, they dove out the window, panicked, fled, and left behind a wallet with an ID in it.
00:02:55.000So the whole thing is very, very weird.
00:02:58.000Considering what's going on in politics, I figured, you know, maybe we should talk about this and the threats that we've received.
00:03:03.000The next story we have is that there was a substation shot up in North Carolina, knocking out power, and the left is claiming it was far-right wingers trying to shut down a drag performance show.

00:03:41.000Joining us today to talk about all of this is Chef Andrew Gruhl.
00:03:52.000Some people might know me from being on Food Network shows or having a series on FYI Network, some other TV stuff, or from one of my restaurants.
00:04:16.000It should be really interesting to talk about.
00:04:18.000You called out California over the lockdown stuff, which, well, it was contentious, to say the least.
00:04:24.000Yeah, it didn't, I mean, you know, it depends on how you look at it, whether it went over well or didn't go over well, but without getting into too much of the granular detail, I'll say this, I did speak out about Newsom's hypocritical lockdowns, and the state immediately turned on me, but, you know, the good news here is that as I continued to speak out, and doing so rationally, right, it wasn't anything crazy extreme, Our sales doubled, tripled, the support came flying in there.
00:04:47.000As that support came in, we decided to start a fund I called 86 Restaurant Struggle.
00:04:51.000We actually ended up raising over a half a million dollars for struggling and out of work restaurant workers.
00:04:56.000Not small business owners, but restaurant workers at the time.
00:05:00.000No less than four months after I raised that half a million dollars, I did do a piece on Tucker Carlson and then Antifa quickly turned on me for being an anti-worker mouthpiece, which I think is funny when you contrast that against raising all the money.
00:05:14.000You know, so I've been up and down that California roller coaster and everything post-pandemic, so, uh, lots to talk about.
00:05:21.000Definitely expect some questions about bugs and seed oils in the future, uh, on the show.
00:05:26.000My name is Luke Grodowski here of WeAreChange.org, and I live by two principles.
00:05:29.000Don't take people's stuff and don't hurt them, a principle that, of course, the government does the exact opposite of, and I think we should definitely be sharing more of these principles and spreading them.
00:05:38.000And if you agree with that, you could get that message, which is on my shirt, on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
00:05:45.000Because you guys do that, that's why I'm here.
00:05:46.000Thank you again so much for having me.
00:05:50.000I'm not sure which one I'm better at, wizardry or sorcery, but one's with your intelligence, the wizardry, the other's with your charisma, the sorcery, I don't know.
00:06:00.000Yeah, sorcerers use their charisma to cast magic.
00:06:02.000They have less choices of magics they can use, but they're very refined at what they do, whereas wizards use their knowledge and understanding of nature to manipulate and use it.
00:06:10.000So like, they'll use, like a, like, yeah, we'll get into it later on the show.
00:06:15.000I want to hear all about your perspective on how you dealt with the pandemic as a restauranteur, obviously, but hopefully we can go deep into just the magic of restauranteuring in general, food, you know, what it's like to own restaurants.
00:06:25.000Maybe later in the episode, I'll start asking you questions.
00:07:05.000So he says, frankly the risk of something bad happening to me or even literally being shot is quite significant.
00:07:10.000It's not that hard to kill somebody if you wanted to, so hopefully they don't, and fate smiles upon the situation with me and it does not happen, there's definitely some risk there.
00:07:19.000I gotta say, the first thing is, does that seem like the typical reaction from someone who genuinely feels like they'll lose their life?
00:07:26.000And I'm not saying he's wrong, or that's not true, I'm saying, I guess you'd expect him to react differently, right?
00:07:31.000Abe Lincoln had a similar thing where he was just like, they wanted him to have all his securities, like, you know what, if they kill me, they kill me.
00:07:37.000And he had a dream a few nights before he was killed of him walking through the White House, people were crying, and in his dream he was like, what happened?
00:07:43.000And they were like, the president's been killed, and then he woke up, Lincoln, and he was like, what, that was weird.
00:07:47.000A couple days later, he was shot and killed.
00:07:49.000So once, I think, if you're at peace with yourself, you just have to be your best self and dam be the consequences.
00:07:54.000But, you know, I mean, what, like he said, if everyone in the world wants to kill you, how long can you survive?
00:08:14.000You know, but I think there's a reason Epstein was trending Friday night when we had the delay of the Twitter files.
00:08:20.000I think we're living in a society where intelligence agencies do have things like heart attack guns.
00:08:25.000And if you look at these latest Twitter files, who did they go after?
00:08:29.000The intelligence agencies that we know were conjuring up lies in order to try to push a narrative and a story and to suppress a story that would make a political party look Uh, good, when of course the reality of it was that they were bad, that there was a lot of horrible things.
00:08:45.000I just want to pull, I want to confirm the source of, uh, this is from allthatsinteresting.com, the heart attack gunfight a dart made from frozen shellfish toxin that would enter the target's bloodstream and kill him in mere minutes without leaving a trace.
00:08:56.000This is like in the 60s or 70s, I believe.
00:08:58.000That was, yeah, through the, I think, the commission hearings, the Warren Commission hearings, I believe, if I stand corrected, that there was a lot of disclosure with what the intelligence agencies were doing behind the scenes.
00:09:12.000You can only imagine what they have now.
00:09:13.000So with Elon Musk saying that he's taking his security, you know, more significantly, taking his security more seriously than before, I mean, obviously, he's pissing off a lot of powerful people that do Epstein, people, let's just be real here.
00:09:27.000Let's just be honest here with ourselves.
00:09:29.000You know, one thing that I haven't thought about with stuff like this and Trump, I heard that one thing I've heard we've talked about the reason Trump likes fast food so much is that when you walk into a McDonald's, the burgers already made.
00:09:41.000So when you order it, they can't tamper with it.
00:09:44.000I don't know if that's true, but that's gross excuse to eat McDonald's.
00:09:50.000I mean, I worry about this stuff, like, you never know.
00:09:54.000We live in MAGA country, so for the most part, people come out, fist bump me, and they're really excited, you know?
00:09:59.000But if I go into, like, a deep blue area where people are, you know, crazy leftists or whatever, do I gotta worry about my food getting messed with or something?
00:10:06.000Food is the avenue through which they typically do something like this, which is why we run a tight ship in my kitchens.
00:10:11.000But, you know, it's funny when I hear that about the shellfish.
00:11:27.000But we also have to understand that this was Elon responding directly to questions being asked to him, specifically if he's going to be suicidal.
00:11:38.000And this spurred on this reaction, which of course everyone's talking about, as we're still waiting for the Twitter files 2.0 to be released that we're hearing are in the hands of Barry Weiss.
00:12:13.000I can understand why somebody would be like, yeah, I don't want those up.
00:12:16.000But why is the DNC making those requests and not, you know, say, Hunter Biden, for personal reasons?
00:12:20.000So the first thing to consider, the Democratic National Committee was trying to get these private images from a private citizen who was not running for office removed.
00:12:28.000So when the left comes out and says, Hunter Biden's not the president, not running, he's not relevant.
00:12:32.000OK, well, then why is the DNC trying to?
00:12:35.000Well, because obviously it's relevant.
00:12:36.000The second thing is the images corroborate the laptop is real.
00:12:41.000If someone came out and said, look at this email, it's fake.
00:12:54.000So when they start, when the Democrats literally are taking down images of a third party who's not running for office, That's bad.
00:13:02.000But more importantly, when it came to the laptop in general, the files reveal that they had no policy justification for removing it, argued about how they had no policy justification for removing the laptop story, did it anyway, and then a big mistake Mettaibi made, with all due respect, because I think Matt does a great job and I think he's fantastic, Jack Posobiec posted the FEC, the federal election documents, from Yoel Roth of Twitter, saying the FBI contacted us, said there would be hacked materials related to Hunter Biden.
00:13:32.000Then they just arbitrarily removed that story?
00:13:44.000And he said that, I've seen no evidence of government involvement in the censorship of this.
00:13:48.000And then later, Jack Posobiec posted an FEC document from FEC.gov, where Yoel Roth was like, yes they contacted me, yes they said the information on Hunter Biden was coming.
00:13:59.000And to be careful about it, Mark Zuckerberg said the exact same thing.
00:14:03.000Yeah, and the New York Post released a story today talking about the FBI's hack-and-leak operation, which they had weekly meetings with big tech social media companies and they came to them and they said, hey, Hunter Biden is a target of a hack-and-leak operation that's going after him before the story even was public.
00:14:20.000So they knew, they probably knew that the New York Post was working on this story, they knew it was going to go public, so they preemptively Spread disinformation, spread lies, in order to confuse and stop a narrative that would make the oncoming political party look bad.
00:14:36.000That right there is very, very sinister, nasty actions that are absolutely playing totally unfair when it comes to this political landscape.
00:14:44.000And I have to stress, it's not just the FBI.
00:14:47.000According to this document from FEC.gov, he wrote, since 2018, I've had regular meetings with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and industry peers regarding election security.
00:15:00.000He goes on to mention that these expectations of hack-and-leak operations were discussed throughout 2022.
00:15:06.000I also learned these meetings that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden.
00:15:11.000So to clarify, DHS, FBI, industry peers, the DNI were in contact with Twitter consistently for years and in 2020 said negative information about Hunter Biden is coming.
00:15:32.000I think that the writing's on the wall with government collusion with big tech.
00:15:36.000I mean, I think it's obvious and it's becoming more apparent and more legally justified if we're going to make these claims with evidence like this.
00:15:42.000But when I'm reading the patterns of humanity, what it looks like right now is this is a chance to step up, each of us, because it's like whack-a-mole.
00:15:50.000Someone steps up and tries to change society, they get whacked.
00:15:53.000And that's been happening since Kennedy, since, I don't know, I'm claiming that, I don't have, I mean, I've got a lot of evidence that Kennedy was Well, obviously Kennedy was killed, but I'm not saying who did it.
00:16:06.000There's a lot of theories around that one.
00:16:07.000So, the chance, this is where we all have to step up and take some of the focus onto ourselves.
00:16:12.000Because if we let Elon, we think he's some superhero, he's just a vulnerable guy.
00:16:15.000So, I want to be on, you know, team humanity here.
00:16:18.000Yeah, look, I think that where this is going to start to focus is on the private versus public element here, private versus government element, because what you hear is the argument is, no, well, this is a private enterprise.
00:16:30.000They were, you know, it was a private citizen.
00:16:33.000At the time, Joe Biden, he was just a candidate.
00:16:37.000And look, this is, you know, a private company.
00:16:39.000And that's the argument that's being made.
00:16:41.000But what's really interesting is it was the DNC, which once again you can claim that it's private, but then you have public government officials as part of the DNC, right?
00:16:50.000So you have what could hypothetically be considered in more of the business or the corporate world, piercing the corporate veil, right?
00:16:57.000And by that I mean is that, yes, so you have all of this through this shell company, the DNC, that's private, but then you have public Influencers or stakeholders that are on that private committee or that private, you know group that are then influencing this through So then did you pierce that veil in the in the food world right as a franchisor?
00:17:15.000I am responsible by way of new laws for the labor practices of a franchisee That was a recent ruling right and that gets into that kind of that corporate Public-private piece of this and so if in the private business world I'm responsible as a franchise or for what my franchisee does even though I have nothing to do with it By way of just that connection, well then government should be held to the exact same standard.
00:17:38.000There's a very interesting article by Jonathan Turley that was released also that was titled, Six Degrees from James Baker, a familiar figure re-emerges with the release of the Twitter files that details how, you know, a lot of this was centered around, from the very beginning, this whole Russian collusion narrative, this whole A larger agenda here from central figures within the federal government that were engineering a lot of this.
00:18:03.000And when we kind of look at this, we kind of got to ask ourselves, obviously, there was some incentive by big tech social media companies to try to make the Democrats win since the Democrats are more favorable towards big tech monopolies rather than, of course, Republicans that were kind of threatening to put them in check.
00:18:19.000Threatening in not even a real way, but kind of soft-handed way, kind of hinting that they might be interested in doing something like the Republicans always do, and then they kind of back off and scare, just like teenagers trying to go up to a girl.
00:18:32.000That's essentially what a lot of the Republicans did here, and I think this is, you know, one reason why to speculate what's really going on here.
00:18:39.000Is it the private industry, or is it the public industry?
00:19:11.000So you can't kind of scream the skies falling on one side, but then use the same argument against or for whichever side you're on.
00:19:19.000And I think that that's something that's just being ignored in all of this when the two sides are battling it out.
00:19:24.000It was interesting to see the White House response to all of this.
00:19:27.000They finally decided to release an official statement saying that the Twitter files were, quote, a distraction and old news that are diverting attention from Twitter's, quote, hate and disinformation.
00:19:38.000So very weaponized, very kind of Orwellian terms used by the White House in response to all of this.
00:19:43.000And Elon Musk looks like he's not backing down.
00:19:45.000There's going to be more releases in the future.
00:19:47.000There's also a lot of rumors that he's going to be starting a medical experts panel that's going to be questioning the government's logic when it comes to health advice.
00:19:55.000And he also came out recently and talked about how he thinks that the FTX scandal is a lot bigger than what people make it out to be.
00:20:01.000And he's claiming that it could be nearly $1 billion that was given to Democrats via dark channels with untraceable money.
00:20:09.000So there's a lot of things happening behind the scenes that we don't know about, but it definitely is a very fascinating battle with Elon Musk saying he's afraid for his life, essentially trying to say that he's not going to be Epstein'd.
00:20:21.000He was saying that the risk for assassination is real.
00:20:25.000I want to talk about this next story to the best of my abilities and explain why.
00:20:31.000And y'all have been lighting up the chat about it.
00:20:34.000I said, there's a 9mm bullet lodged in my kitchen now.
00:20:36.000I can't say I'm surprised this happened after the wave of doxing and threats made against us.
00:20:41.000I can't reveal too much of the details about what happened, but this morning I got word that my house had been... I don't know what the right word is.
00:20:49.000Burglarized is the legal term, but people typically think burglary implies theft of goods.
00:20:55.000There was reportedly two men who broke in, climbed through a window, One of our staff members on site yelled out, let me just say very carefully, a shot was fired.
00:21:25.000Considering we've been swatted so many times, considering we have active threats, and the far left has been posting, uh, let's just say posting an address that they believe is my house, it's not, uh, on the internet excessively, The first thing we thought was seems like it may be random or localized.
00:21:44.000And then after going over the scenario, talking with some individual security, for instance, we were like, okay, actually, it seems like this might actually be political, because the things we would expect from a burglary, a typical burglary in the area didn't happen.
00:21:59.000The property in question is large, with multiple buildings on it, and without giving too many details away, we ultimately concluded that your typical robbery wouldn't occur in a situation like this.
00:22:10.000I don't know exactly what happened, you know, we just know that it did.
00:22:14.000That's what's been reported by, well, we have the police report that was filed, the police took evidence, and the reason why I want to bring this up is that I've been talking about, I talked about this last week, We've been swatted several times, and we've not reported it.
00:22:30.000Everybody knows that we've been swatted over a dozen times at the bomb squad here and everything like that.
00:22:34.000And we keep being told by people, don't say anything.
00:22:38.000Don't let anybody know what's happening.
00:22:39.000And the first time I heard that, I'm like, that's kind of odd.
00:22:42.000Like, shouldn't we let people know that there are people trying to murder us?
00:22:45.000Because then, like, I don't know, it just feels like if something happens, no one will be prepared for it.
00:22:50.000We should be like, hey guys, these threats are real.
00:23:04.000After all the death threats and threats against us, I don't blame Elon Musk.
00:23:09.000You know, I was thinking about reaching out to him being like, dude, There are people posting addresses for me, Matt Walsh, and a variety of people, and they are spamming them en masse like crazy.
00:23:19.000There's got to be some way of getting rid of this.
00:23:27.000The left came out, and we'll talk about the story in a second, and said that a Transformer substation was shot up by far-right wingers trying to shut down a drag performance.
00:23:35.000Every single time something happens, Jussie Smollett 2.0, they claim the far-right the far-right.
00:23:41.000Last week, one of our guests said, if you go to the average person and ask them who's more likely to commit political violence, a left-winger or a right-winger, they will tell you outright a right-winger, despite the fact that it's substantially more likely to come from the left, just in every capacity.
00:23:55.000I know the ADL has their weird rankings, but they claim that black nationalists are left-wing and white nationalists are right-wing, and none of that makes sense.
00:24:02.000And I think that there's a reason for it.
00:24:04.000How often does Ben Shapiro talk about the threats that he gets?
00:24:19.000The narrative you start seeing in mainstream conversation is the left is constantly being threatened and the right is fine.
00:24:26.000When in reality, this stuff is happening to us, so I don't know if this incident in question was political, but I find it hard to believe it's a coincidence it's happened around the time that people have been spamming, you know, people have been posting on Twitter that we shouldn't be allowed to live comfortably.
00:24:59.000I mean, except the levels of intensity just keeps getting higher and higher.
00:25:05.000But I was going to say, this is either a case of the wet bandit from Home Alone or just someone messing with us, just deliberately trying to intimidate and scare us.
00:25:18.000I think, you know, again, who knows what's really going on here.
00:25:22.000I think a lot of the things are done to confuse people.
00:25:27.000You know, poverty is increasing, a lot of people are poor, a lot of people are desperate, but the official story of what happened doesn't really add up to that, doesn't really make sense, and the idiocy of it doesn't really make sense at all, especially with the identification card.
00:25:41.000That right away, there's like, okay, either they're the lowest IQ idiots of all time, the dumbest criminals of all time, Or someone's deliberately trying to, you know, send a message.
00:25:52.000Well, remember when the planes hit the World Trade Center, a passport fell out of the burning explosion and fell down to the ground.
00:25:59.000That's how they found the terrorist that did it.
00:26:11.000So that means he climbed in and just said, oh, I better check my wallet for my ID, and took it out, placed it down, looked at it, and then had to flee the building.
00:26:16.000How convenient that now we have an identification and someone to go after.
00:26:23.000I don't like talking about it publicly, but what I will talk about is the victim mentality, because I know what you mean about people claiming, oh, they hurt me, they're violent towards me.
00:26:49.000But at some point, I mean, it's worth being honest about what's happening, not complaining about it.
00:26:55.000It's just the nature of the entertainment industry.
00:26:58.000There's one reason I tweeted about it when I heard, right?
00:27:00.000So I wake up in the morning and phones are going nuts because it happened at 7 a.m.
00:27:05.000Like I wake up and like I'm in bed getting up getting ready and it's literally happening.
00:27:11.000I wasn't at this property in question.
00:27:13.000And I said, look, I've told people, please, for the love of all that is holy, if you hate my guts, if you don't want me to be alive, whatever, do not come to my properties.
00:27:26.000But if you come to these properties, there is a strong possibility you will lose your life.
00:27:30.000No one is going to sit back and be like, well, despite all the death threats, I'm going to give this person the benefit of the doubt as they shatter the window and climb through.
00:27:36.000I don't know what they're doing, but, you know, let's just ask them politely.
00:27:39.000That's not what any of our security guys are going to do.
00:27:41.000No, the security guys, you're lucky if you're uninjured when you leave.
00:27:48.000So that's the main reason I was like, you know, I talked about it and said, I think I should put that out just so that, like, I can make sure this is loud and very clear.
00:27:57.000You know, I do not want anyone getting hurt.
00:27:59.000And if you come here... So, we have people trying to troll, we have stupid games, and there's a reason why... You know, who knows?
00:28:07.000Some morons, you know, coming up, I have no idea.
00:28:11.000But, uh, I just, you know, I have to wonder about... With all of this going on, the other significant portion of the story is that... It's been a year since we, uh, the SWATtings began.
00:28:24.000And we've been swatted on average more than once per month, sometimes twice.
00:28:33.000The amount of crimes that have been committed against us in terms of violent and as well as what I'd consider like white collar crimes, if we could talk about it, people would crap their pants.
00:28:43.000But we can't because active investigation stuff, law enforcement, but for some reason nothing's being done about it.
00:28:57.000You mean they can do nothing to protect a sitting member of Congress?
00:29:01.000Okay, well that says everything right there.
00:29:03.000The courts and law enforcement are incapable of actually maintaining social cohesion at this point.
00:29:09.000We hear all of these stories about the summer of love, the deaths from Antifa, 30 plus people dead from Antifa, and there's zero accountability towards any of it.
00:29:19.000Sounds to me like maybe it's not civil war in the sense that people expect, as we often say, like two sides fighting.
00:29:26.000It's just a collapse of social cohesion.
00:29:29.000The FBI, the DOJ are working with big tech to benefit the Democrats.
00:29:33.000They're not going after the people protesting in front of the justices' homes.
00:29:36.000They are going after pro-life activists.
00:29:38.000Social cohesion is shattered completely.
00:29:41.000The courts aren't able to do anything.
00:30:11.000Yeah, look, it's pretty scary, and I think that you actually bringing it up is smart in the sense of people understanding that there is a threat on the other side of this kind of, like, fictitious wall that everybody wants to cross to try and scare, whether it's you or somebody else.
00:30:25.000And I think you can see it in California, right?
00:30:27.000So I'm in Huntington Beach, which is Orange County.
00:30:29.000Up in Los Angeles, there was this huge kind of rash of all these grabbing, you know, smashing grabs into the jewelry stores where they just, they come in, they grab everything, and there were certain situations where people would fight back.
00:30:41.000Well, then they start to move into Orange County.
00:30:42.000Now, Orange County is notorious for being very different politically than Los Angeles, a little bit looser on the concealed carry laws.
00:30:49.000What happens when they come and they hit Huntington Beach?
00:30:50.000They go into a jeweler, which is right down the street from us.
00:30:54.000The guy has a concealed carry, pulls his gun out, shoots three of them.
00:30:58.000There was four different cars because they do these in these big groups.
00:31:01.000Well, you know what I never heard of again after that?
00:31:11.000like, I mean, it's just kind of an everyday thing now.
00:31:15.000You know, people, now actually they have tourists that go to L.A.
00:31:17.000and they're just sitting waiting to see if they can videotape a smash and grab instead of going to, no, I'm just kidding.
00:31:23.000Yeah, you'll get lucky one day, there's enough.
00:31:25.000Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot more eloquently than I could ever can, saying if you are prepared for violence, the likelihood of violence coming your way is reduced.
00:31:35.000Essentially saying if you learn self-defense, you will learn how you absolutely don't need it in many instances.
00:31:41.000You know, a lot of the stuff out in the streets is a lot of the times when it comes to confrontation and fights, a lot of it is ego, a lot of it is just people not knowing when to walk away, but when someone comes into your house, I mean, that's another level.
00:31:52.000That's another thing to really kind of take seriously.
00:31:56.000You know, people should always have the right to defend themselves, but also know exactly what they're doing.
00:32:01.000They should receive training, and they should take the situation very seriously.
00:32:05.000Because, you know, as time goes on, I think it's only fair to say that, especially in major city areas, people are going to become more poor.
00:32:12.000A lot of them are going to become more desperate.
00:32:14.000And a lot of the major cities are going to become a lot more lawless, and the only person you could really depend on yourself for defending yourself is you.
00:32:50.000Of someone attacking the United States.
00:32:53.000But it's the fact that we're all armed and ready to just snap back with nuclear weapons, with you name it, orbital strikes.
00:32:59.000People do not mess with that because they don't want to get obliterated.
00:33:02.000And it's the same with menial criminals on the street.
00:33:04.000If they know you're packing, they're not going to touch you.
00:33:06.000They're going to look for someone that's been legally muted and not able to have a weapon or something like that, or someone that's elderly or vulnerable.
00:33:11.000You know, it's disgusting, but that's reality.
00:33:13.000This is what I can't understand about California, right?
00:33:16.000I mean, if you're if you're one of these ultra wealthy celebrities with stalkers living in the hills, What, have they just got to hire like 50 armed guards around their house all the time?
00:34:19.000Basically, everyone has private security, because the police force doesn't really work.
00:34:22.000Or, in some cases, the police force works, but they won't come out, or they're like, oh, it's too dangerous, or it'll be like, oh, we'll be there, but they'll be there in 40 minutes, and by that time, you know.
00:34:32.000It's been in your better interest to have weapons and have firearms and be ready to protect yourself at all costs because, you know, the SA police force is not going to be there.
00:34:40.000They did the same thing in Detroit, I believe.
00:34:42.000I believe there's a full report of individuals just hiring private security that was armed and them doing a lot better job than police officers that, of course, are giving people tickets and generating revenue for the state or shutting down small businesses for daring to defy lockdowns.
00:34:57.000How do you guys handle restaurant security?
00:34:59.000And you don't have to be specific if it's all under the, you know, behind closed doors conversation.
00:35:05.000Yeah, no, that's actually a great question.
00:35:07.000Because restaurants are targeted pretty heavily, especially given the cash nature of restaurants.
00:35:12.000And then, of course, you know, the fact that there's so many people that actually go into the restaurants.
00:35:17.000And the reason why I say that's a risk now is because actually they're targeting places where there are a lot of people with handbags and jewelry, etc.
00:35:23.000And they're just robbing everybody in the restaurant.
00:35:25.000So, you know, Cameras look you know chefs with a ton of knives and most of them have psychological disorders That's I wouldn't want to cross that line, but
00:35:35.000You know what I think is kind of happening is there's a distributed denial of service in terms of crime occurring.
00:35:40.000Crimes, we see these videos of people shoveling stuff into bags at Walgreens or Target or whatever.
00:35:47.000Rampant violent crime in New York skyrocketing everywhere.
00:35:50.000It's so much crime happening at once that not a single one can actually be solved.
00:35:55.000So, you know, if crime is at a certain level, the police are able to prosecute and arrest and stop some of it.
00:36:01.000But once it goes slightly above that level, You got 10 phone calls, and they're all saying, I gotta deal with this problem, and the cops are like, yeah, we can't.
00:36:09.000I mean, first of all, if the cop was going to arrest that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy, they'd have to go and testify to each of those instances in court several times.
00:36:18.000Not always, sometimes it's like open and shut case, but it's just impossible.
00:36:23.000Like you were mentioning, 30,000, 40,000 cops in New York City to 13 million people in the metro, 2.5 million in Manhattan.
00:36:31.000it's impossible to deal with and then and then if you throw in even the
00:36:34.000slightest sophistication to the crime itself when i a dealing with a whole nother level we had a we had
00:36:40.000a a team member who was a scammer we didn't know it total con artist
00:36:43.000and it was ripping us off for thousands of thousands of dollars
00:36:45.000i'd believe the story was in a prosecutor first and we got uh... the
00:36:48.000police involved they were like oh this isn't they've done it before look at their background this nice
00:36:58.000Like, well, you know how much manpower that takes and the case that we have to make and keep, as you said, go back, go back.
00:37:04.000So even if it's, you know, the slightest bit of sophistication where it requires more than 30 minutes or there's not a literal smoking gun, you're right, bye-bye.
00:38:01.000And not only that, but we actually have a ton of evidence.
00:38:03.000We have a ton of circumstantial evidence, statements made by potential suspects, and, you know, other stuff I don't want to reveal too much because I don't want anyone to realize exactly what we have.
00:38:14.000And they're just like, oh yeah, yeah, they look at it and they're like, wow, that is compelling.
00:38:18.000FBI is underfunded, understaffed, and uninterested.
00:38:21.000And I'm like, okay, but they can go after, they can go to Roger Stone's house at 3 in the morning or whatever, or they can, yeah, they can do this kind of stuff where they arrest some, they raid the home of some lady in, was it FBI who raided the home of some lady in Alaska because they thought she was at January 6th or something?
00:38:44.000But we can't be like, here's a stack of evidence from a private security company, we think we know who's doing it, and they're like, sorry.
00:38:49.000In times of like a golden age, where we were in like a time of insane prosperity from 1970 to now, you know, in the United States, where you could call the police and they'd come to your house and be like, what's wrong?
00:40:13.000I mean, that's really what they're saying.
00:40:14.000Two power substations in North Carolina were damaged by gunfire and was being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair and leaving tens of thousands of people without electricity.
00:40:24.000A protester who was protesting the drag events posted on Facebook, the power is out in Moore County and I know why.
00:40:32.000Emily Grace Rainey wrote on Facebook, on our Facebook page, according to the Daily Beast, around the same time she posted a photo of the Sunrise Theater, the venue holding the sold-out drag show.
00:40:41.000She's in the caption, God will not be mocked.
00:40:43.000So police apparently met with this woman.
00:40:46.000She said that she's sorry for wasting their time, and what she meant to say was that God works in mysterious ways.
00:40:51.000The implication was more so that the power went out because the Lord was angry, not that they had any information that right-wingers were attacking a power substation, which sounds really stupid as it is.
00:41:01.000A bunch of conservatives being like, I know how to turn off the power in a single location.
00:41:46.000So what happens in a situation like this, where not only now do we have escalation, not only now do we have, you know, Elon Musk saying he's afraid he's gonna die, you have the far left outright saying right-wingers are shooting up substations and acts of terror.
00:42:00.000One thing I try to do is to, if and when I come into contact with people that believe stuff like that, I try to have the same amount of amazement when they find out they're wrong, to kind of empathize with their amazement as they're realizing, oh, it wasn't targeted.
00:42:16.000And then I'm like, okay, I get it now, and I feel what you're feeling.
00:42:20.000As opposed to being like, you idiot, of course it wasn't targeted.
00:42:23.000Just be there with them while they realize that they were not seeing the truth at the time.
00:43:20.000They want to literally create human calamity style events that would devastate humanity, kill millions of people, all because they don't like oil.
00:43:30.000What if, in protest to all these drag events, the right wing actually started to throw paint on classic paintings that were worth millions of dollars?
00:44:09.000And these children, you know, clearly show us that there is a mental health crisis.
00:44:13.000Clearly believe, they have been so scared that the world is ending, because we have politicians like AOC that go on the bully pulpit, and like, the world's going to end in eight years.
00:44:23.000Again, not even quantifying real data, not even going after anything legitimate.
00:44:27.000But just making things up out of thin air, just to radicalize, just to scare people, and then we have these effects of it, which would bring on more pain and suffering to humanity than we could even imagine, which is crazy.
00:44:39.000But it's interesting to see who finances a lot of this stuff.
00:44:42.000It's interesting to see the result of this.
00:44:44.000It's interesting to see the news coverage of this, because, you know, they've been trying to push through a lot of these lockdowns, a lot of these restrictions.
00:44:51.000They're going to be testing some of them out in the United Kingdom for many years now.
00:44:55.000They couldn't never do it, but Then, you know, COVID happened.
00:44:59.000And now, COVID is surely looking like it's going away, so they need something else to, of course, bring on the trauma-based mind control.
00:45:23.000But, a train was passing through, and they knew what was going on, but he let him go.
00:45:28.000The train, I think, made its way to Baltimore, I could be wrong about the details, but it basically got out, informed the authorities, who then quickly mustered their forces, and then headed to the Harper's Ferry to stop this.
00:45:39.000Basically, John Brown was trying to cause like a slave uprising or something to that effect.
00:45:46.000Today's day and age, Information is instant.
00:45:49.000Something happens, the tweet goes out.
00:45:52.000But I'm just thinking about what it must have been like to be on that train, knowing you were the only person carrying the message of this attack, and that if you don't make it in five hours' time, or however long it took, two or three hours, to the city to inform law enforcement, they would take this city, they would have it, and that would be the end of it.
00:46:33.000Now the idea is to put out so much fake information that the truth blends in and you can't tell what's what.
00:46:39.000And this isn't just limited to politics, right, because I'm obviously going to bring a culinary angle to this, but let me just... It comes to food too.
00:46:48.000So many headlines people read about food are wrong, and then it affects their dining choices for 10 to 20 years.
00:46:53.000I've actually gone to the extreme of saying that Because of the government headlines about eating seafood being a bad thing, because of all this hypothetical mercury and PCBs, which actually nobody's ever died of mercury poisoning, we eat less seafood, instead we eat more meat and chicken, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which is the seed oil issue, which is your inflammation, and therefore people are dying at a younger age because of that.
00:47:14.000It happens in food, it happens in every single industry, and the people who perpetuate these lies, it's the mainstream media.
00:47:20.000Because yes, you're always going to have people on the right or the left who are going to Go out there and tweet obviously outrageous headlines, but when it gets picked up by the media and then basically adds credibility to it, and then they go on with that lie, well that's when this social cohesion, the fabric starts to rip at the seams, and then we all believe the lie, or many of us do.
00:47:38.000So you're saying I should just eat nothing but raw salmon?
00:47:41.000You should eat as much seafood as you can.
00:47:43.000Six of the eight leading causes of death in the United States can be alleviated through the healthy consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, mainly found in seafood.
00:48:07.000They actually have a negative effect on the environment because they're filter feeders, so they clean the environment, so they have a negative effect, right?
00:48:33.000I mean, you can clean entire estuaries just with oysters alone.
00:48:36.000If you took a hundred oysters and put it in a Big fish tank full of dirty water and then watch over the next day or so, that water will be clean.
00:48:42.000And all of the dirt, you think, well then it must be going into the protein in the food that I eat.
00:48:46.000It actually goes into the shell, which is then calcified and then you can use that shell ground up as fertilizer or nutrients and soil when you do some sort of organic farming.
00:49:10.000You made a very good point saying, you know, people hear one thing and people jump to conclusions without actually doing the work towards understanding something fully, especially when it comes to diet.
00:49:20.000I think that's one of the most misunderstood things when it comes to our mainline society.
00:49:24.000Especially with the obesity crisis that we're all dealing with right now and how people are getting absolutely wrecked and destroyed because of the disinformation and because of the poison that's out there.
00:49:33.000I also think there's a lot of, you know, just like we should be careful about what we put into our bodies, we should be careful about what we put into our minds.
00:49:39.000And I think a lot of these people have been so traumatized by the echo chambers, by the, what's the circles called?
00:49:46.000Not family-friendly circles, of thought that happened on social media, that they've been so radicalized that automatically something bad happens, they're going to point to their political opposition as the main reasonable force behind everything ill and wrong in this world.
00:50:03.000Again, that story went away very quickly.
00:50:04.000Why isn't anyone talking about it anymore when there was a certain agenda behind it?
00:50:09.000Now that the agenda has been questioned somewhat, automatically the story's just dropped by the corporate media when they were talking about this thing like it was the end of the world.
00:50:25.000Police raid Virginia restaurant that defied COVID orders.
00:50:29.000Owner says state officials tried to strip him and his guests of their constitutional rights.
00:50:33.000The long story short, in Fredericksburg, there is Gormelt's.
00:50:37.000I'm sorry, Gormelt's is the name of the place, right?
00:50:40.000And it's a business that refused to shut down during the lockdowns and the masks and all that stuff.
00:50:46.000So they are trying to take away the liquor license.
00:50:49.000They say police officers entered a Fredericksburg, Virginia restaurant and executed a warrant to confiscate alcohol and records pertaining to the sale of alcohol after the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority, ABC, revoked the restaurant's liquor licenses following the owner's refusal to follow mandates issued during the COVID pandemic.
00:51:05.000The restaurant's owner, Matt Strickland, had his alcohol license suspended for 90 days in September after they ruled he willfully and knowingly ignored mandates.
00:51:13.000So I wake up and I watch this video where these cops are going in and they're basically shutting him down serving this warrant.
00:51:20.000I think he got like a 90-day suspension and my first edit, I got two things to say on this and then we'll expand because you've certainly, you know, been dealing with this stuff.
00:51:29.000One, You should watch this video, and you should share the video, and if you live in Fredericksburg, you should tell everybody you know these cops are not welcoming your business.
00:51:38.000If they want to destroy a man's life because of unconstitutional edict, they don't deserve a hot dog from your store.
00:51:59.000But the cops aren't worried about that.
00:52:00.000I'll tell you what they are worried about.
00:52:02.000When you have the back the blue people, the MAGA people, the last line of people actually defending the police, and then the cops want to pull something like this, simply say, Officer, thank you for your service, now get out of my store, I will not serve you.
00:52:15.000And then see how long, then you're the cops being like, look, I'm not shutting this business down, I'll never be able to show my face in this town again.
00:52:36.000Let's support this business, and let's support the people who are doing the good things, and when they're punished unjustly, we should try to do everything we can to help out during those situations.
00:52:53.000Peaceful, organizing, just to highlight this stuff.
00:52:57.000And I think highlighting is the first thing, and I think, you know, maybe I'll go down and take a tour of Fredericksburg, see what's going on.
00:53:02.000Maybe, you know, we can reach out to this guy Matt, see what's up, and ask him about what happened, and then get the full details, and maybe keep shining a light on this stuff.
00:53:10.000You guys should see the video, and if you haven't seen it, you should watch it as we're talking right now, so you understand what's happening.
00:53:15.000I mean, you could see the shame on some of these cops' faces.
00:53:22.000You're not here to discuss whether or not they're on cops'...
00:53:26.000You're just here to do your job, right?
00:53:29.000And you're going to enforce that regardless, right?
00:55:15.000Don't be a knee-jerk reactionary like the left was at the Covenant Kids.
00:55:18.000But, assuming all the reporting we have is true, then you should simply say to these officers, uh, you're not welcome in my place of business.
00:55:25.000I don't want you coming around my family.
00:55:31.000But, uh, Chef Gruel, I mean, you defied, or I should say, you spoke out against, so, and what are your thoughts seeing this story?
00:55:38.000Well, you know, and I think that's—thank you for kind of clarifying, because you're right, you don't know the backstory here.
00:55:45.000But just looking at that video in and of itself, I can only imagine that it's nothing too serious, because number one, if this guy was doing anything that was criminal, he'd be arrested immediately.
00:55:54.000If he was doing something that was a violative of any health standards, he would be shut down immediately, gas would be cut from his stores.
00:56:00.000There would be messaging out there so assuming that this is the limitations on this you know two years previous I mean that's just absurd and the absurdity in general of a lot of these mandates as I've talked about for the past two years and have been punished for doing so it people understand it now right so you kind of have this reverse process where now the government which is typically behind the times they are so far behind the times that you have All people of both parties looking at the absurdity of what went down during COVID in many cases, not all cases, that making the case that this just shouldn't be happening is a much easier case to make.
00:56:49.000I think we're in act number 417 on COVID and I think the drama or the tragedy is going to continue forward and they're going to keep writing sequels to it with COVID being kind of the main hero here.
00:57:00.000Well, they're going to try to milk this cow as much as they can, but we have to understand, with this particular case, looking into it, there was a long series of court cases, and there was a ruling that came down which now allowed the government to come in and seize their records.
00:57:46.000All these big box stores with connections to politicians.
00:57:49.000They were able to run their businesses.
00:57:51.000Police officers came on grandma's door, knocked it down because she dared to keep her business open, even when she had an online business.
00:58:00.000The stories that happen here in the United States should terrify people because it highlights the story of order followers doing what they're told, committing human rights violations against the people of this country.
00:58:13.000Matt Strickland, I see an individual, became a member of the channel right now, and it may be the Matt Strickland who's in this story.
00:58:21.000So, Matt, if you are listening, I just followed you on Twitter.
00:58:23.000Shoot me a DM if you want to say anything right now about this subject matter, and we'd love to meet up maybe this weekend, talk about what's going on.
00:58:43.000So if you look in California, they shut down outdoor dining in the December of 2020, okay?
00:58:49.00075 degrees and sunny in Southern California.
00:58:51.000They shut down outdoor dining And then this was concurrent with the state of California saying, Oh, and by the way, you can't get any unemployment funds until January, February, because we've misappropriated $80 billion in unemployment funds.
00:59:12.00080% of the restaurant industry in SoCal got fired.
00:59:14.000Oh, and by the way, it's going into the holidays and Christmas, and you have no money because the unemployment funds aren't available.
00:59:19.000You had people just left on the streets, which is why we started the fund to raise money.
00:59:23.000We're driving around the night before Christmas handing out $500 checks and giving people their rent money because we had to raise the funds as individuals because the government wasn't going to do anything to help these people.
00:59:35.000What was the result of these policies?
00:59:37.000The rich became richer than they ever have before.
00:59:40.000It was the policy that committed the largest transfer of wealth from some of the poorest, some of the most people, some of the few people left in the middle class to the richest billionaires that, of course, were able to keep their online businesses open.
00:59:52.000They were able to do things that violated Health and cold protocols, but that didn't matter.
00:59:58.000It was essentially a deliberate action.
01:00:00.000I believe a lot of this was actually done on purpose to shut people down, to make sure that they won't have any wealth with their family members.
01:00:08.000Yeah, it seems like it's like trying to get back at someone you don't like because they made you angry.
01:00:12.000But in reality, law enforcement, there's an ethical quality to it.
01:00:18.000If you're out in the middle of the street because there's a little baby laying there and you're jaywalking to get that baby off the road, you're not going to get arrested.
01:00:26.000They're not going to fine you for that one because you did the right thing in violation of the law.
01:00:30.000Sometimes people see the forest through the trees, and just because there's a top-down creed doesn't mean that you have to fall in line.
01:00:39.000Uh, so to go after people that stayed open during what they want to call a pandemic in a time that how many people, like how much death did keeping that restaurant create open create?
01:00:50.000Cause if so, if they're, if they, if they murdered people with keep staying open, put them in prison.
01:00:55.000But if they didn't, what the hell is going on?
01:00:57.000Sweden has, there's a tweet I put out a while ago, someone posted the data, Sweden's all-cause mortality, or whatever it's called, is like lower than most of Europe, and they had no lockdowns, or they had very, very limited restrictions.
01:01:09.000So, we're looking at all this data, you can make an argument for Sweden's weather, they're further north, smaller population, maybe more spread out, but on the surface, you look at the data, and we don't see any strong, I mean, look at Florida.
01:01:23.000I mean, Florida didn't lock down, Well, Donald Trump was telling Sweden to lock down, was saying Sweden was going to have a mass casualty event.
01:01:32.000This was the President of the United States saying this, and he was absolutely wrong on a lot of these things.
01:01:39.000As his administration started the two weeks to slow the spread nonsense, which again was absolutely ridiculous as the government Their only plan was to give you a $2,000 check, which they couldn't even give you out in a correct way.
01:02:55.000No, no, it was a brick-and-mortar place.
01:02:58.000And then they got told, they got shut down, like, you can't sell these cicada tacos anymore because you can't just take bugs off the street and then cook them and feed them to people.
01:03:22.000And they're also a derivative of shrimp, so if you have a shellfish allergy and you're out there cooking cicadas to try and be cute, you're going to die if you eat a cicada taco, number one.
01:03:29.000Number two, we don't know where these cicadas have been, and if you look at their life cycle, actually they're full of toxins, but that's okay, go ahead and eat the cicadas.
01:03:36.000Oh, let me just say also, this clear statement, shutting down outdoor dining in Southern California killed people.
01:04:01.000Eating outside in 75 degree weather we knew, scientifically, because we all saw the headlines that the protests outdoors were totally safe, right?
01:04:18.000They said that, well, the answer was, they said that the image that it gives to people out celebrating and dining outdoors is that it's okay to be outside during COVID.
01:04:26.000So you see how this is all about the image, the picture, the symbolism.
01:04:30.000And I will give credit to the Orange County Sheriff's Department and all the police force in Orange County.
01:04:36.000We did remain open outdoors and we continued to serve outside.
01:04:42.000Our sales were tripled and the police force said, you're good to go.
01:04:46.000We're not going to enforce any of these rules.
01:04:48.000So there are local jurisdictions where there are officers that are standing up and saying, look, we're not going to stand behind these absurd regulations or mandates.
01:04:56.000And, you know, those are the places you got to seek out and celebrate.
01:05:01.000Real quick, Matt just hit me up and he said that he guarantees 1000% the only reason they came after him was because he did not follow the COVID mandates.
01:05:09.000And, you know, he'd like to come join us and talk about it more.
01:05:17.000I'm sick of seeing all of these stories where, you know, we want to come out and be like the defund the police, like, well, not Luke, anyway, but the defund the police stuff goes too far.
01:05:26.000The average person who's not an anarchist or hardcore libertarian probably likes the police, but we cannot tolerate the worst accesses of it.
01:05:34.000Now, I know Luke's solution is typically like, no, it's all bad, just get rid of it.
01:05:42.000And majority of crimes go unsolved, especially when it comes to rapes, especially when it comes to homicides, especially when it comes to very serious situations, a lot of the times you're left on your own.
01:05:51.000So why not just officially be on your own and be prepared to defend yourself?
01:05:55.000The incentive, really, for a police officer is to protect its community, his or her community, because if your neighbors are getting attacked... So is this what these guys are doing?
01:06:03.000Um, maybe they justified that, but I don't think so.
01:06:05.000Do you feel protected when you're pulled over by a police officer on a motorcycle that's writing you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt?
01:06:45.000Someone's speeding like, I don't know, 20, 15, 20 miles over, I understand.
01:06:48.000But Luke's got a good point, let's break that down.
01:06:50.000Like, you have to wear a seatbelt in your car, But the cop on a motorcycle is literally just sitting on this thing going 60 miles an hour, you know what I mean?
01:07:01.000They'll pull you over, they'll be like, yo, put your seatbelt on, because if someone hits you, you're going to get killed, and I don't want to clean up a bloody body right now.
01:07:07.000Yeah, but there's better ways of incentivizing those kind of policies.
01:07:57.000A lot of them were just absolutely unhealthy beasts sitting there, eating their doughnuts, telling you, hey, you know, We'll give you free donuts if you do this, but you gotta also jump through our hoops that we're going to literally make up.
01:08:11.000The documents came out from the Fauci emails, and a lot of these rules, they're like, hey, where did you think of these six feet?
01:08:18.000Where did you think of these plexiglass?
01:08:20.000Where's the science and logic behind it?
01:08:25.000It's me just making things up as I go along, and the latest scientific data is highlighting how a lot of these protocols, a lot of these things actually made the situation that much worse, and more people got sick as a result of it.
01:08:39.000I was in Frederick, Frederick, whatever you pronounce it, Maryland, and this was during lockdown.
01:08:44.000It was during mask mandates and all that stuff, and I went to get sushi, and I was with my girlfriend.
01:08:50.000We walked into the sushi restaurant, We were standing probably about five or ten feet from a two-person table, and we walked in, and I was like, two?
01:08:59.000And then they looked at me and said, you need to wear a mask.
01:09:02.000And then I looked around at everyone, everyone, aside from the staff, no masks.
01:10:04.000I mean, the napkin and your... Yeah, it's gonna do the same thing.
01:10:06.000Your hand and a napkin is gonna do the same thing that a cloth mask would do.
01:10:09.000I thought about that when I was there, and I said, you know, when you go to West Virginia, they did, the statewide had mask mandates for stuff, but, like, nobody was really following it.
01:10:24.000What did your restaurants do, if you don't mind me asking, and did you guys have to comply with the plexiglass that went up in price very significantly during this whole shenanigan nonsense theater that we had to go through?
01:10:36.000I've got a warehouse full of plexiglass right now.
01:10:38.000I mean, it's like, plexiglass was in such demand, I ended up having to meet some guy behind a 7-Eleven at 2.30 in the morning.
01:10:44.000You bought it out of the back of a Cadillac.
01:11:20.000So they're mandating masks indoors, all right?
01:11:23.000That mask is going to end up in the ocean, it's going to be microplastic, it's going to end up in our entire food system, and it's going to kill sea life.
01:11:28.000Now, Alternatively, if I ask for a straw and a straw is given to me, both me and the person who gave it to me get a fine.
01:11:36.000If it happens twice, it's criminalized and you can go to jail for it.
01:11:48.000Maybe this is a hot take, but I think that COVID particularly is spreading and has been spreading through the food supply, not through the air.
01:11:55.000Or maybe it has been spreading through the air as well.
01:13:46.000It was a hole in the wall, but it was a turnkey situation.
01:13:49.000The landlord was going to take a chance on me, and I think we ended up Raising like seventy thousand dollars to open this and I had no money after that not even a penny Right when we're about to open we do the kind of final walkthrough with health and they go Where's your grease interceptor the underground one, right?
01:14:03.000And I said, oh, it's well, we're grandfathered in because I bought the lease.
01:14:05.000It's an above-ground one They said yeah, but that kind of grandfather piece is gonna go away in a couple years So just put the underground one and I'm like, look I can't that's twenty twenty five thousand dollars They're like, yeah, we don't care.
01:14:17.000So I'm about to open so I I have to take out a high-interest loan that I paid off like 14 years later at, you know, 39% interest compounded every minute.
01:14:26.000But the point is, $25,000 the day before my business is supposed to open, when there wasn't even a specific regulation, it was more just, well, it's going to have to happen, even though we were told everything was going to be okay.
01:14:38.000That story kind of represents California.
01:14:42.000Because it seems like a lot of mafioso-like people run a lot of these regulations, and they kind of expect some money underneath the table just to not implement whatever made-up nonsense they want to implement.
01:15:34.000It's too wet, so it drizzles on the pizza.
01:15:37.000I would do like a pineapple salsa with jalapenos to finish the pizza, but roasted in sweet and sticky pineapple releases way too much moisture and then it kills the dough if it sits there too long.
01:15:47.000What if the pineapple's diced up super fine?
01:15:49.000Well, in the form of like a salsa that hasn't been cooked because then it won't release all that moisture.
01:16:01.000I said I would never eat pineapple pizza, and I forget what it was about, and then Newsmax reached out to me and said, well, you said you wouldn't if X happened, so we want to do a live shot of you eating pineapple pizza on TV.
01:16:25.000That's where I go back to the omega-6s.
01:16:27.000So seed oils are bad because you have this imbalance of omega-6 fatty acids that leads to inflammation and hypertension and a lot of other issues.
01:16:35.000So if you actually eat more seafood, you can theoretically balance out that inflammation and have a couple seed oils.
01:17:20.000On the days that I'll eat bread, the next day I feel foggy and groggy.
01:17:24.000Yeah, I mean it all affects... 90% of your neurotransmitters are in your intestines, right?
01:17:29.000So obviously what we eat is related to our brains.
01:17:32.000That's why people with irritable bowel syndrome take antidepressants, because they're one and the same.
01:17:37.000Yeah, and this is why a lot of the gut problems are correlated with a lot of people taking SSRIs and antidepressants as well.
01:17:47.000There's been something happening within our food industry that is absolutely, incredibly worrisome, especially when it comes to chronic diseases that are becoming more and more common.
01:17:56.000Obesity rates have gone up 30% in the last 20 years.
01:18:00.000Meanwhile, our calorie intake didn't really change that much.
01:18:04.000So, people have to start asking themselves, what in the world is really going on here?
01:18:16.000You look in a lot of these inner cities, they have no access to whole foods, real foods, so they're eating empty calories.
01:18:22.000So even if you look at it on kind of a calorie-by-calorie basis, there's superfoods and there's effective calories and then there's just kind of empty calories that Then ultimately affect the mind, which is probably what you were feeling the next day and that's a common feeling.
01:18:36.000I think that people come down on this notion, this gluten-free movement as being just this kind of California hippie left-wing thing.
01:18:43.000I think there is a genuine issue in our food system that's leading people to have more sensitivity to gluten.
01:18:51.000What it is, I mean I could be conspiratorial and I could pin it to certain vaccines or I could just say it's They use it as a desiccant on wheat.
01:19:06.000If your wheat's not organic, what they'll do is they'll spray it on there throughout the course of the wheat's life to prevent, I think it's a fungicide or is it a herbicide?
01:19:18.000But then they go in right before they're about to harvest it and to dry out the wheat, they hit it with Roundup again as a desiccant, and then they harvest it really quick.
01:19:25.000And now Bill Gates is making superglyphosate as, of course, the glyphosate and the bacteria resistance is starting to build up against it and not being as effective.
01:19:34.000So now they're doing a stronger version of glyphosate.
01:19:36.000And this is the latest corn video that Bill Gates kind of rolled out there recently with him sucking down on the corn cob.
01:19:45.000You know, dancing and singing behind seats.
01:19:49.000You know what they originally used glyphosate for?
01:19:51.000It started in the Reagan administration, and they actually were using it.
01:19:54.000They would spray Colombian cocaine farms with the glyphosate to kill it, and then it would, sadly, it would leach into the water system, would leach into the surrounding communities, which were like smaller communities or indigenous communities, and then they saw 10, 15 years later, a lot of those people Yeah.
01:20:10.000start developing different cancers and all these health ailments but it was
01:20:13.000used by the US government to stop it was part of the drug war
01:20:18.000now it's in all of our food I'd rather have the cocaine in our food
01:20:22.000yeah might as well who was it was it Elon Musk who tweeted that?
01:21:28.000I just want to bring up one more point, especially when it comes to microplastics that are now being found in people's lungs and blood.
01:21:34.000This is something that, of course, is also a huge disruptor of your hormone system, and this is why a lot of people think that sperm levels and testosterone levels have gone down so much dramatically within the last few years.
01:21:48.000Is there, I mean, there's no way of stopping it.
01:21:50.000China just keeps getting all the plastic, dumping it into the ocean.
01:21:53.000The United States just essentially just started doing the same thing.
01:21:57.000The masks, again, lots of plastic just being thrown out there, people breathing it in, sucking all the plastic down there.
01:22:03.000Is there a way of even avoiding this plastic?
01:22:06.000I mean, we try to do, you know, glass bottles, but at the same time, everything else is in plastic.
01:22:19.000Is there a way of avoiding any of this craziness?
01:22:21.000Because I'm just looking at everything that's happening, I'm like, there's no way of stopping it.
01:22:26.000Dude, I mean, I use bamboo to cook my food, etc.
01:22:29.000And you can use like a skillet, you know, there's things you can do that are like... Well, yeah, I have a cast iron skillet as well, but then, you know, the food comes packaged in plastic.
01:23:00.000I mean, clearly it's an issue, but it's one of those issues that's used as a hammer in certain circumstances and ignored in other circumstances.
01:23:27.000It's just that there's a convenient location with plastic-wrapped food for you.
01:23:31.000And so we just choose to go there, but look man, we're lucky.
01:23:34.000Out here, maybe even like five miles away, there's a farm, a farm stand, it's a little building, and when you go in there and get the meat, it's in like wax paper.
01:23:42.000It's in like, you know, deli-wrapped wax paper.
01:23:45.000And then they hand it to you, it's frozen, and you bring it home, and you peel the sticker, it's paper, open it up, Farm-fresh meat, right there on the spot.
01:24:04.000It's probably leeching into my head as I'm speaking.
01:24:06.000I've been thinking that, a little esoterically, like, if the Earth is an organism and they say, like, it'll—if it doesn't like the life on it, it'll kill it all with, like, a flood.
01:24:14.000Like, it'll flood itself and wipe out all the life that's been poisoning its surface, or it'll bring an asteroid, a meteoroid, or something.
01:24:20.000I think also what the Earth would do—this is obviously kind of somewhat silly to think of the Earth as a living organism, but let's just say it is.
01:24:27.000That it would wipe out humanity by making it sterile.
01:24:30.000And we're kind of doing that to ourselves with plastics and hormones and chemicals, herbicides, in our water supply.
01:25:06.000Like, I don't know if you had like malleable diamond plastic, like if it was like diamond, pure carbon, and it was like crumpleable diamond, if that would not leach.
01:25:13.000I mean, I think you could find ways to not leach.
01:25:15.000Could we be proactive, though, and actually make the packaging out of testosterone?
01:26:21.000Expires real quick, like it's supposed to.
01:26:23.000So, just to ask you, because you're in the food industry, did you notice the level of food kind of going down throughout the last few years?
01:26:29.000Like, do you see the quality being an issue?
01:26:32.000Or, you know, what's the kind of inside baseball when it comes to procuring a lot of food for your restaurants?
01:26:39.000Yeah, well, the trajectory has already been on a downward spiral, just in general, in terms of quality of food, and it follows the quality of everything, right?
01:26:46.000But since the pandemic, yeah, it's gotten really bad because, number one, the supply chain issues, number two, our relationship with China, and I think people don't realize how much we rely on other countries for our food.
01:26:57.000So, our food system is not just incredibly vulnerable and it's not domestic, but it's also, I mean, it's questionable when you're getting food from another place that you don't know how they're harvesting, raising, rearing, the husbandry behind their food.
01:27:10.000So, yeah, the answer is, of course, take the extra time.
01:27:13.000That's a great point that Tim makes is that if you take the extra time, you actually can go find that butcher, you know, that fishmonger, whoever it is, to actually try and understand where your food is coming from.
01:27:25.000From a wholesale perspective, it's much easier for me as a restaurateur because I can kind of cut out a couple kinks in that chain of custody, but consumers can do that too.
01:27:34.000And this is the point I've been making since inflation has gotten so bad.
01:27:37.000It's incumbent upon consumers to create a relationship with a restaurateur.
01:27:41.000Not just, this isn't kind of self-fulfilling here, because then you can piggyback on their orders and their products.
01:27:48.000I love it when customers come to me and say, hey, can you throw five extra pounds on the order of broccoli that you're getting?
01:27:54.000And then I buy more, which gives me better economies of scale.
01:27:57.000My customer gets raw products at a much lower value, which puts more money in their pockets that they hypothetically could spend.
01:28:04.000at my restaurant or another community restaurant. I mean, that's the notion of comparative advantage.
01:28:09.000And, you know, what that's doing is actually cutting out the Walmart to the world. It's
01:28:13.000cutting out a lot of these other businesses. I think someone should develop an app to facilitate
01:28:17.000customers piggybacking off of restauranteurs purchases. I completely agree. Well, there's
01:28:23.000also a lot of monopolies that I think cause a lot of problems in the industry. I think
01:28:27.000it's estimated that there's only 10 companies that produce 90% of the food in the United States.
01:28:32.000And when you have so many few big multinational industries controlling a lot of this, you know,
01:28:41.000Over, of course, offering a product that's actually good or healthy or actually going to be helping people in the long term, because a lot of the times it's not incentivized to do so.
01:28:50.000And I think also behind the scenes there's a bigger agenda to try to poison people with the release of glyphosate, with the release of seed oils, making them a lot cheaper with government subsidies, knowing that the end result will be more unhealthy people, which will be dependent on government, and therefore government is doing this, according to my own personal opinion.
01:29:08.000Isn't the overwhelming majority of food from Cisco, from all these restaurants?
01:29:14.000Foods, they're two of the biggest players out there.
01:29:17.000Actually, their merger was broken down by an antitrust lawsuit, which is surprising, but then it would have been just one behemoth running all the food.
01:29:27.000They're a wholesaler and a distributor, so what they're going to do is they're going to aggregate all the products and then they're going to distribute it to all the Restaurants, venues, you name it.
01:29:35.000So it's just massive purchasing power.
01:29:40.000And it's, for me, you know, when it comes to trying to grow a business and scale good, I consider what we were doing from a sustainability perspective a good business.
01:29:51.000And using the little guys, because we mandated that as part of our franchise system, it was virtually economically impossible to do so and to avoid the Ciscos and the U.S.
01:30:02.000And ultimately my franchisees ended up using those guys, and I couldn't stop them from using it because you can't force them to lose money, and then the big guys win.
01:30:12.000You said if your franchisee does something, like I didn't get the full story, but what is it?
01:30:17.000It's called the Joint Employer Rule, and it was actually set forth during the Obama administration, it was overturned during the Trump administration, and then it was put back in place under the new Biden administration.
01:30:28.000And what it basically conjectures that if you are a franchisor, let's say I sell a franchise to you, you're all the way out here, you're running the franchise, and you're mistreating your employees.
01:30:57.000That doesn't sound like a functional system.
01:30:59.000Yeah, and originally it was set forth by McDonald's.
01:31:02.000It was a McDonald's lawsuit because they said that McDonald's was trying to stop the unions from working with local franchisees, and then there was a lot of issues and lawsuits.
01:31:11.000They went after whoever had the biggest bank account.
01:31:14.000Oh, okay, so a certain level of corporations.
01:31:16.000Anyway, that's an interesting conversation.
01:31:17.000How did you guys navigate, like, because you said 2011 is when you opened your first food cart, and so 11 years later you've got 60 restaurants?
01:31:24.000How did you create such explosive growth?
01:31:25.000was ten years later, we had 40 couple different concepts.
01:31:28.000How did you create such explosive growth?
01:31:30.000Was it my, hopefully what you're going to say is good ingredients, but tell me about
01:31:34.000like what did you prioritize to get there?
01:31:36.000Well, actually it was pretty simple formula.
01:31:38.000So what we said is the whole entire mission was to get people to eat more seafood, but
01:32:37.000And then you look at Domino's and Domino's isn't as bad, but they've got, you're like, you'll see like words you can't pronounce, but then you look at like Papa John's and it's like whole wheat water yeast, you know, the sauce, tomatoes, sugar, you know, the cheese, part skim milk, whatever.
01:32:52.000It's like, wow, really is like very, very basic stuff.
01:32:55.000We got these protein bars, the Epic Protein Bars.

01:33:19.000We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show for you tonight.
01:33:38.000Max Reddick says, Tim, I hear a lot of people on the left saying the DHS colluding with Big Tech started under the Trump administration as a gotcha.
01:34:44.000Culture Abduction says, I have a friend who lives in the area where the substation is in, North Carolina, and he's chilling because he has chickens.
01:34:51.000He's actually, he's chilling because he has chickens, he's actually bragging about it.
01:36:34.000Yes, I'm optimistic we're moving in the right direction, but it's still going to be an uphill battle.
01:36:38.000Yeah, basically at 4pm I talked about similar things, you know, Elon saying he's fearing for his life, talked about what happened here, and, you know, the general idea was, around like, I don't know, 2.30 I was on a phone call with a lawyer, and I'm asking him like, what is the legal remedy to all of these things?
01:37:46.000I'm not saying they get them out of a freezer box with the thing.
01:37:49.000I'm saying, when you walk into McDonald's, there's a rack with heat lamps, and the burgers are sitting in it already.
01:37:55.000What they'll do is they'll make us- there are certain burgers that sell very quickly, like Big Macs.
01:38:00.000They'll make it, usually sells in a minute or two.
01:38:03.000The point is, if Donald Trump were to go into McDonald's and say, I would like one Big Mac, make it the biggest, the biggest Mac, then someone's gonna take- oh, I'll make this Big Mac for him and spit on it.
01:38:11.000But if he walks in, and under the heat lamp is a burger that had been made before he walked in, then he gets a burger made to standard.
01:39:12.000Yeah, what happened in hospitals and funerals was absolutely inhumane, the way people were pushed away from their family members when they were leaving this Earth.
01:39:20.000When people were trying to hug each other during a funeral, there's people screaming at them.
01:39:25.000Absolutely evil, what we saw and went through.
01:39:29.000David Todd says, Tim, if you read tweet 21 and 22 together, I believe Matt Taibbi's no government involvement portion is specifically about Twitter using the hacked materials policy to censor.
01:39:39.000Essentially, the government never confirmed it was hacked for Twitter to use that policy.
01:39:45.000However, if the DHS and FBI reached out to Twitter and said specifically, hey, hacked materials are coming with Hunter Biden involvement, and then they started censoring that, that is direct and overt government involvement, and that information was available.
01:39:59.000SFC Retired says it's called a home invasion, bro.
01:40:36.000Jen Desai says, Miranda Devine at New York Post reported FBI was monitoring Giuliani's emails in regards to the laptop, which led them to monitor her emails.
01:40:44.000She has the most extensive reporting on the laptop from hell.
01:42:20.000yeah yeah those that want to be here the ones that will be here in germany they have a similar policy but you need to have uh you need to be vaccinated in order to be wait what yes yes i saw yes too dangerous otherwise i tweeted it today it was an it was an article from 2021 yep in germany if you want to be euthanized you have to be vaccinated first I think there are people whose brains stopped working.
01:42:58.000And then you like, I guess, get at your house and let them know it's happening and then you kill yourself and they come collect the body or something?
01:43:25.000If you're sitting in your room and you rolled a 20-sided and got a 20, you'd look around and if a 20-sided die is rolled in an empty game shop, was the 20 rolled at all?
01:45:18.000So I could tell you a story about that, but I don't want to upset any sponsors.
01:45:21.000But I will say this, that there is something called stock fortification, where you actually will start fish in hatcheries and release it into wild.
01:45:30.000It was originally established by the government in order to help stocks that were declining.
01:45:54.000They take iron oxide dust and put it in the ocean, and then it causes plankton to bloom, because plankton uses the iron oxide, and then the plankton is fish food.
01:46:06.000If you really want wild salmon, If you really want to help the environment, you'd be doing that instead of all the other wacky stuff that they're trying to propose.
01:46:13.000Because when you look at that solution, what you mentioned, it's the end-all be-all when it comes to bringing life back to the oceans.
01:47:09.000Um, but there is a very serious question about the, you know, the legal issues surrounding it, and I think you just don't mess around.
01:47:17.000If someone breaks into your house, especially with all the threats we've been getting, no one here should be assuming that the person breaking in has good intentions, you know?
01:47:44.000Uh, Maryland is better than New Jersey.
01:47:45.000In most states, you know, with New Jersey what I was told by the cops is that If someone breaks in and you kill them, you will be arrested and charged with their murder, like, there's no question.
01:47:55.000Like, unless you're a special person, and, you know.
01:47:58.000But they were like, the Castle Doctrine idea is an affirmative defense, so after you're arrested and charged, you can plead to the court, I was defending myself.
01:48:08.000Granted, it really depends on the cops, too.
01:48:11.000I think with a place like New Jersey, a criminal could be breaking into your house, they could be a convicted rapist, and if you killed them, a bunch of activists would show up saying you didn't have to, and then you get arrested, and that's just how it's gonna go.
01:48:21.000West Virginia, on the other hand, someone breaks into your house, they're just gonna be like, who in their right mind would break into a house in West Virginia?
01:48:35.000So West Virginia's not the craziest place.
01:48:36.000You can't just like kill a random person who's on your property.
01:48:39.000But you have a lot more legal protections if they're on your property and threatening you in some way.
01:48:44.000Whereas in Maryland, if they enter your property, you have no grounds whatsoever to defend yourself in any capacity until you retreat to your home.
01:48:51.000And then once you're in your home, if they try to break in, then you... just trying to break in.
01:48:55.000So if they try and jiggle the handle, uh-uh.
01:48:56.000If they shoulder the door, now you're entitled to... I'm not a lawyer.
01:49:01.000This is just what I was reading on the internet, which is probably not true, so I'll just make sure that's clear.
01:49:05.000So this is another thing about the South African situation, is there's a duty to retreat laws in South Africa as well.
01:49:10.000So if the person's in your house, but they're not making any threat on your life directly, you're still unable to stop them or impede them from doing what they're doing.
01:49:21.000But doesn't that just result in everyone yelling, he's coming right for me!
01:49:25.000And, you know, before they... Yeah, but it's why they hire private security in the first place.
01:49:31.000I don't know if this is true or not, but I remember reading a story about how, like, in China, if you injure someone, you're on the hook for the rest of their lives.
01:49:45.000Because there's a duty you can't go in.
01:49:47.000If someone's injured or dies while they've been injured and you were part of their safety or helping them out, it would be like, oh, you were the person who caused their death.
01:50:02.000You are on the hook for life for their financial problems.
01:50:05.000Even so, even if you were trying to help somebody that's been injured, and you go and try and help them and offer them assistance in any way, you're now tied into it, and because of that, they'll say, oh, you did it.
01:50:14.000So nobody helps, and then someone will hit someone with a car and then go, well, better kill them.
01:50:19.000There was that horrible video that went viral like six months ago of the girl that got run over in China, and it went for like five minutes of just everyone walking by, driving by.
01:50:29.000There's compilation videos of that just happening over and over and over Because Chinese law is if they get involved and they touch the person, which then breaks their ankle a little bit more, they're not responsible.
01:52:01.000to produce more corn and more wheat in order to grow the economy at the time when it was first instated.
01:52:05.000It has nothing to do with health, and I know that because I have an econ degree.
01:52:08.000It has nothing to do with food or health whatsoever.
01:52:11.000The craziest thing is I did this calculator.
01:52:14.000It was like a how much protein should I eat calculator and it said that I should be eating 400 carbs per day and like 63 grams of protein and I was like that sounds insane.
01:53:32.000And then I was like, oh my god, I have butter on my steak.
01:53:34.000Well, compound butter is what, like, I try and give these simple ways to make your food that much better.
01:53:38.000If you actually just take your butter, put it at room temperature, throw in Dijon mustard, sherry vinegar, fresh herbs, garlic, and some shallots, whatever your other favorite ingredients are, put it back in the fridge, throw that compound butter on all your food, throw it in your cereal, heck, why not?
01:53:51.000Could we go to the kitchen after the show and do the after show in the kitchen?
01:53:56.000Seriously, let's get one of the cameras and let's record something in the kitchen.
01:54:25.000But yeah, in response to the food pyramid, you know, it's almost as if the government wants you fat and unhealthy.
01:54:30.000One, whether or not we make cooking tonight, which I'm open to, we should do a collaboration in the future and do some The after show, grab the camera, go to the kitchen, open the fridge.
01:56:39.000Hey, Andrew, do you like red pepper or green pepper better?
01:56:42.000Green pepper for, like, cheesy, fatty things, just because it's a little bit more vegetal, and then red pepper for raw or, you know, salad-type dishes.
01:59:26.000And I'm surprised they're allowed to sell these things.
01:59:29.000They sell you these bracelets and they tell you it improves your core strength, it's got a reverse ion charge, blah blah blah, and then they use a center of gravity illusion to manipulate you into thinking it works.
01:59:40.000What they do is, they have you stand with your feet together and put your arms out, and they'll put their hand on your arm and pull slightly down to the right, away from your center of gravity.
01:59:52.000Then, they'll say, now put on the power band.
01:59:55.000And when you do, they'll push into your center of gravity, and they can push down as hard as they can, as long as they go slightly left, and you won't fall.
02:00:37.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.
02:00:43.000I guess we're going to try and cook something?
02:01:20.000My website is LukeUncensored.com and I usually do a lot of rants about health, cooking, personal development, working out, doing a lot of different stuff.
02:01:29.000Today I did a video about how a lot of things are screwed up in our society, but that doesn't mean you have to be.
02:01:41.000Follow me at iancrossland.net and you get through to any of my social media accounts through there, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Mines, the list goes on, Instagram.
02:01:48.000Check me out, you can follow me anywhere.
02:02:40.000So we went a period where we didn't report any of this stuff was happening, because people kept telling us, if you keep saying it, it'll keep happening.
