01:29:18.460Millions and millions of people follow them.
01:29:20.060And they do become rich by telling you how to become rich.
01:29:23.880And that is the influencer phenomenon.
01:29:26.080And this ties directly into the phenomenon we have right now of the NFT grifts of the end of these influencers, these nobodies totally getting getting people excited about releasing an NFT, doing a rug pull later, milking millions of dollars out of their fans and their fans don't go anywhere.
01:37:34.800stopped. There's still people like that.
01:37:36.800But we get so excited about our imagined proximity to power that I think it allows us to create these blind spots.
01:37:44.840That somewhat ties into the book I wanted to cover, and there's a lot to cover.
01:37:49.840I might not be able to cover it all this time, but I'm going to give you the hits because this is one of those books I really, really liked.
01:37:58.220And I can't recommend it enough to people.
01:38:00.640It's by the illustrious Joseph de Maestra.
02:00:20.600and it's used in case studies from France.
02:00:22.700And the French monarchies, if you want to defend monarchy, the French monarchy is probably the best example to give because it stretches so far back in time.
02:00:30.760And he says, you know, the French monarchy goes back 1400 years ago.
02:28:25.820no i like his optimism though i actually do admire the optimism because sometimes i get
02:28:36.860a pin for being a bit too romantic but i i do i'm confident in the abilities of the people that
02:28:42.820i've met on this scene i might not be as i think certain things might normalize but i think there
02:28:47.720is a a trend in certain you know larger tectonic shifts that are probably going to either get worse
02:28:53.680or continue on their path i mean but you know when it comes you said you agree with them but
02:28:57.800everything's going to get worse i think for our scene like when it comes to like the culture war
02:29:02.660i think that's largely correct i just think the culture war is probably less of a significant
02:29:07.620arena than we like to think you know like we're still the people who are obsessed about getting
02:29:12.520back on twitter so like we kind of i think the biggest thing that stands our way sometimes is
02:29:17.220ourselves and i actually don't think a lot of us on the right have a plan for if and when we were
02:29:22.600to win i think that we have this sort of defeatist mentality but you know there's there's larger
02:29:28.140things going on in the world beyond like the culture and like i said i think the you know1.00
02:29:31.880here's a prediction in the next few years at least i think the tranny thing is really going1.00
02:29:35.520to recede just because it's become unmanageable so i'm thinking ahead like what happens when that0.95
02:29:40.780happens when the transgender issue does start to recede and then they start revisionist history
02:29:47.040about how no one was in favor of it like i'm trying to think of how we head other our enemies
02:29:52.780off at the past and try and rewrite what they did well at midnight at midnight too powerful i feel as
02:30:01.080an ergogore it's too powerful in terms of the people that are subjected to it they are really
02:30:06.200the perfect foot soldiers of the regime i mean if you lurk any of their accounts like today for
02:30:11.860example one of these um i would call brahmin caste identity uh people uh redacted their own
02:30:19.100father and tried to redact uh oh i saw that yeah and there are people that that with pronouns in
02:30:24.620the bio celebrating so uh i feel like there maybe it's a sign of weakness but i i don't
02:30:30.860i wouldn't want to misjudge them as having a huge cultural downward shift i feel like uh
02:30:37.880if anything conservatard tm is going to overplay their hand by focusing on a very specific narrow
02:30:45.000uh corridor and they're going to do what they do all the time which they'll blow up an issue
02:30:50.500into like um bill o'reilly spectacle and the seriousness of it will get washed under and then
02:30:57.200the the leftist media will then go on the back end and say well these conservatards they're just
02:31:02.580they're worried about nothing yeah oh here's a prediction for agio as the democrats begin you
02:31:07.980know liquidating all the transgender individuals you will see the republicans and conservatives0.56
02:31:12.860pick them up like wait i thought we were doing this like just last the party they're going to0.90
02:31:17.060be the last one's holding the transgender hot potato as everyone's like moved on to the next
02:31:22.000thing well as i was as i was saying a moment ago uh the california at midnight california time they
02:31:27.300will have passed i can't remember the name of the resolution uh but it it makes california thing
02:31:32.700yeah it makes california a sanctuary state for children um for insane generally mothers to take
02:31:40.740their children to be to be genetically mutilated and chemically castrated so i don't think this
02:31:45.560is over it's not going to be over because there's too many people who who won't give it up for
02:31:50.340ideological reasons and there's also too much money involved with it i mean yeah i don't think
02:31:54.340there is a culture war i think it's a war you know there is you can't separate one issue from
02:32:00.780another issue i mean i i know aa in his uh in his way of discussion with woes talked about abortion
02:32:06.740as if it was just an issue you know it's just oh you know they overplayed the hand on abortion
02:32:12.000Well, I understand. I mean, yes, I understand how that played out. And of course, we have generation after generation of mostly females who are completely indoctrinated to the idea that erasing and murdering that child on a whim is some sort of foundational, you know, aspect.
02:32:29.480yeah the human right or or woman's right even worse you know but i again i don't think you can
02:32:36.880separate any of these things out because they're all fronts on a large spiritual uh ontological
02:32:45.440you know civilizational war yeah and and i will throw in one last piece uh to to to say take it
02:32:54.120to church uh to uh to d which is that like you guys are younger and and no well i i don't know
02:33:00.860about dimes so forgive me um but but uh most of you are younger than me probably every single one
02:33:07.080of you uh though d is pretty close to me in age and i will say this this isn't any kind of you
02:33:11.660know i'm older than you posturing this is just an actual presence of data simply because i've had
02:33:18.000my eyes open for longer um and i'm not saying that i observe things any better than anybody here
02:33:24.060I'm just saying the simple fact I was around, there is a pace to this and it has increased and the tempo with which the changes are happening has increased radically and that and the sort of exponential way in which it has speeded up over the course of my life continues.
02:33:42.660and so yeah I can be the eater of crow it's entirely possible and often likely that I'm
02:33:48.660reading something's wrong but as a general impression and I think he would back me up on this
02:33:53.920you guys simply haven't seen enough breadth of it and again I know you've read about it I know
02:33:58.880you know about it I'm not judging but there's something about having been there and seen how
02:34:03.580they just keep hammering deeper and harder and faster at the foundations of everything and so
02:34:09.520in that respect i'd be inclined to say the idea that it's gonna that it's gonna level out or
02:34:16.000something did you just see the thing about the breath breathalyzer tests to be installed in
02:34:21.260automobiles by 2026 which means it i the only way i can imagine them working is that you have to
02:34:28.520make that happen in order to start your vehicle and i can't see how they would do that without
02:34:34.800it being attached to some kind of network because of the necessities was already planned
02:34:39.320Indeed. And the network is already mandated. I mean, there are future mandates that will eventually make it that you can't sell a vehicle without a device which can capture whatever is emitted by you on an exhalation.
02:34:56.320well that's that's about the pretext of that also also track track your every movement very
02:35:02.440accurately and the one thing that's been that they've been pushing for a quote by law enforcement
02:35:08.180is the ability to remotely stop any vehicle at all so they so they say yeah it will prevent it
02:35:14.400will prevent police chases well it will prevent and the things that you that that you don't even
02:35:19.080like think about or hear about my whole time growing up was a big thing about how they were
02:35:22.860going to institute a national identification different from a passport and it would be
02:35:26.400national identification papers and that you never wanted the the government to have that power you
02:35:32.140know a national id it's like a federal gun registry or something right and then alex jones
02:35:36.060talking about this for like 20 years forever but you know what everybody just stopped talking about
02:35:40.600it and anybody can take their driver's license out and see if it has a little star on it yeah
02:35:45.720and that was passed right after 9-11 and it took them nearly 20 years to implement it but i do want
02:35:50.480chime in here is that the thing about this whole breathalyzer stuff not just the network for
02:35:55.680control or the vehicles that they can stop it because i already read in uh from a facebook
02:35:59.760post on a tesla group earlier like two years ago daily medical scan how they were going to do that
02:36:05.780they can just activate the autopilot in tesla cars and they can just have those cars just park
02:36:10.440themselves to be repoed if they don't pay and i imagine that that would be the future of evs going
02:36:15.540forward but the thing about the the culture war in general is is that scott weiner sd 107 that
02:36:21.360made california trans sanctuary state i mean the jeff younger case here in texas the texas supreme
02:36:27.120court just wiped their hands of it and basically told the rest of the country california's trans
02:36:32.300sanctuary law has legal precedent over the rest of the country it's literally the trans no state
02:36:37.760yeah yeah and he has no appeal he has no appeal no appeal people are saying oh you can take it0.76
02:36:43.280the supreme court you can't on that type of on that type of uh because the state has to take it
02:36:47.620up under the 11th amendment because it's the only way that states can go to the supreme court against
02:36:51.300one another and what makes matters worse is is that we're going to see this accelerate i get
02:36:56.080whiplash from thinking 2015 in obergefell v hodges to today that's insane i can't think about it in
02:37:02.620the grander scale by the nature of only being oh man you americans are so cute here in canada1.00
02:37:07.420the state no y'all are all you're you're fucked they're just gonna kill you i just want to chime0.99
02:37:12.960in really quickly and just clarify a couple boys i don't want to be misunderstood but i just want1.00
02:37:16.500to say on the tranny uh transgender i don't want to get in trouble here on the transgender uh issue
02:37:21.460one of the reasons i thought there might be pushback eventually is just because it is too
02:37:25.800grotesque and involving children however that's merely one node in a larger war so i like what
02:37:32.000you said mr d about how this is a real war and i we saw this with covid and why i got frustrated
02:37:38.280with some individuals early on who were predicting oh covid's over and i said no covid was just this
02:37:43.380one battle in a larger war and the way i phrased it was they got 10 10 of what they wanted and then
02:37:50.700the next time this happens look at 20 what they want but we know the grant that's kind of what
02:37:54.920you guys have been talking about the entire time the larger goal and so with the transgender thing1.00
02:38:00.000i'm thinking okay i think the transgender individuals will be too grotesque for people1.00
02:38:04.940however the larger conversation about child consent will remain and they will they will0.99
02:38:11.920forward that conversation by saying it's kind of like getting people to think past the sale or
02:38:15.880over promising like okay we're not gonna do that let's do something reasonable now we can all agree
02:38:20.240a 12 year old should make sexual decisions though right as long as it's not crazy like this is the
02:38:25.520story of republicans so that's why i was thinking in in a small way the transgender thing will start
02:38:31.180to go away however that will be in service of these other conquests that are happening that
02:38:36.480will never never go away yeah the mechanism behind it will be transferred to something else
02:38:40.840and also semi-gog i wanted to uh because as as an ad man um there's one thing that i think is
02:38:47.460interesting when we talk about the culture war and i think it's something people here might agree on
02:38:51.120because i know you guys pretty well not intimately but uh the idea of i think in our scene people
02:38:58.020think there's an awareness problem and there's not like in terms of an ad campaign a lot of stuff we
02:39:02.700do is awareness based but it's not really persuasive so when we talk about you know getting
02:39:07.660people to think the next step the next step it's like everyone's aware that we're living in a
02:39:11.860dystopia and i think a lot of the people that i admire on our side are the ones who are trying
02:39:17.920of think what the next step is the next step okay everyone gets that we live in a shitty situation
02:39:23.940what's the next thing and that's kind of what i was trying to get before although i do i essentially
02:39:28.300agree with everything everyone was saying too well this is the thing that i've noticed this is that
02:39:32.400um i think i don't know who posted on telegram but someone had noticed that millennials are like
02:39:36.720one of the first generations that as they get older they still stay liberal you know that
02:39:40.400can i talk about that actually and let me get this take out but yes um and i've noticed that
02:39:46.040the real accelerator where they've just put a lead lined brick on the the gas pedal and really
02:39:51.140have gone it has been of course always towards children it's always been that case but if you
02:39:55.240can eliminate any sort of political and now very physical sexual mental maturity with hormones and
02:40:01.460whatnot you literally have created the most perfect dependent eunuch slave class because
02:40:05.680these are going to be converted upholders of the civic religion of the state they're going to be0.72
02:40:10.380constantly dependent on the latest bits of health care products to keep them alive because these
02:40:13.880people don't know what the long-term effects of hormones are going to be they know this they don't
02:40:18.580know about cancer they don't know about all the effects on the organs bone density etc and all of
02:40:22.580a sudden you have people that need the state need this religion to live and so i i think that i think
02:40:28.960what you're saying though dimes is you're probably right it's going to pull back a little bit because
02:40:32.260it's going to be in exchange for something else maybe a universalized health care system here in
02:40:35.880america something that's going to push more yeah good luck with that boys and let me just say one
02:40:41.200thing uh one thing we want to cover on the show in the next little while is i'm reading this book
02:40:45.200that i'm sure a lot of you i think geo you might read this um but i was talking to chris sandbatch
02:40:49.540about this uh the book seeing like a state by the way yeah exactly it's a great chat good peep
02:40:55.820some of the best are in there but i know mr d and semi-gog this kind of the tone that you were
02:41:00.520just going with like if you'd look at this power centralization by the state and with tracking
02:41:04.980people you realize oh this has gone back to the 1400s like this is literally just the latest step
02:41:10.600in a long, long progression of not only issuing rules and edicts,
02:41:15.460but also quite literally changing the character of a nation.
02:41:18.800Like you see these plans that various states and monarchies do,
02:41:23.220like it wipes away entire cultures and amalgamates them
02:41:27.020and you lose all these different folkways.
02:41:28.840And it's happened time and time again.
02:41:30.720And it's like, well, why wouldn't this be that, right?
02:41:34.080What did you have in mind in the 14th hundreds?
02:56:18.400You're all good, man. You're all good, man.
02:56:19.920Look, BMW has opened up several manufacturing plants in South Carolina, Alabama.
02:56:24.920There's plans to open one up in Mississippi, all right?
02:56:27.380To all of these large machining firms are coming to the United States, right?
02:56:32.520Globalization, as we called it in the 1990s, they should have just called it Southeast Asia-ization because that's the only real places that we really put our capital in, right?
02:56:45.160And we're pulling all of our capital out of that and it's all coming back here, all right?0.97
02:56:49.620Look, I mean one of the upsides to the fact that we're going to see a complete and total – here's another thing, another factoid here too.
02:56:57.380Right. The United States no longer has the naval capacity to patrol the world's sea lanes the way we did back in previous years.
02:57:04.220If we wanted to, we would be mass producing destroyers. Right.
02:57:07.620Because that's what you need to patrol global sea lanes.0.95
02:57:09.860Instead, we're building six Gerald Ford class aircraft carriers, which are great for absolutely fucking destroying nations,0.64
02:57:15.860but are not great for patrolling sea lanes simply because you put all of your eggs in one basket.0.65
02:57:21.200All right. So if you see a collapse in international sort of U.S. Navy patrolling the sea lanes and U.S. Air Force patrolling the sea lanes, you see an increase in piracy.
02:57:30.460You see an increase in piracy. More than anything, you see a decrease in trade traffic simply because no insurance company will insure any shipping crates going through a super highly pirated lane, which means increase in shipping costs.
02:57:42.180Increase in shipping costs means everything gets more expensive because how do things get to places?
02:57:47.260Right. Again, wouldn't this argue for reindustrialization?
02:57:51.140Well, that's that's a policy point. That's a policy point here. And that's what the US is currently undergoing. Right. I'm just telling y'all what just the general effects are going to be. Right. I'm telling y'all that this whole world that we're sitting at that has enabled this level of control over our lives is just going to fall apart. It's going to fall apart because it was tenuous to begin with. Right.
02:58:13.420Okay, so you're not arguing that it's, like, going to get better.
02:58:17.540You're saying it's going to get worse is kind of what you're getting at.
02:58:19.620No, I'm saying that we need to take the good with the bad here, all right?
02:58:23.660I'm saying that the season of Fortnite is going to change,
02:58:27.700and we're going to have different effects on our general day-to-day lives,
02:58:30.720and we're going to have a different set of rules to deal with
02:58:33.080because we're going to be shifting into a different game, all right?
02:58:36.260Dear God, that's the most Zoomer way to analyze this.
02:58:39.700Yeah, it didn't bring us Fortnite, didn't we?
02:59:10.140i want to i want to mr prudential you know i know i know you're hosting but i want to answer mr dimes
02:59:15.020question first um and mr dimes it was probably a really reductive question too like i was just
02:59:20.540trying to it's a good question because you seem like you might have some ideas as long as we're
02:59:25.180talking predictions um if you're talking we're talking about like systems falling down like do
02:59:29.100you have and i'll let i guess i'll just let you answer sorry well so so you know why i'm super
02:59:33.580fucking optimistic right whenever a massive paradigm shift like this occurs and we've got
02:59:39.100got a whole population of super high IQ, socially upstanding, generally Christian young men who have0.96
02:59:44.300all sorts of great prospects and, and, um, uh, general great understandings of the world.
02:59:49.160Whenever you see a massive paradigm shift, yeah, I'm steel manning the dissident, right? That's
02:59:52.940what I'm doing. Whenever you see a massive paradigm shift like this occur, and you have
02:59:57.180like a whole, a whole bunch of people like us ready to kind of just get plugged in to kind of
03:00:01.920go crazy on this. All of a sudden we can re hijack the ship with all the chaos happening,
03:00:06.940because here's the thing right here's the thing people talk about people talk about these these
03:00:11.240people that rule over us and you know i understand thinking like a state and all that but the problem
03:00:15.480is being at the position of the table of the game of power at the state gives you certain conceptual
03:00:21.260blind spots and those conceptual blind spots lead to a sort of decrease in uh in um what should i
03:00:27.560say competence and so with this decrease in competence combined combined with a massive
03:00:32.980fucking geopolitical and economic restructuring the world over given the fact that trade lanes0.67
03:00:38.260will not be patrolled computer ship driven computer trip driven um uh things will just0.98
03:00:42.720become more and more and more spotty um all of this stuff is contributing yeah we'll go analog
03:00:47.860for a little bit but it's so much opportunity there's so much opportunity we could just go
03:00:52.440out and win guys well that's if i might interrupt you just just to summarize i am curious with that
03:00:59.260in mind there's a lot of young people listening a lot of young men and just mr semi-gog i'm kind
03:01:03.940of well i'm in my 30s but for like the younger guys i'm i'm at an age where i can say you know
03:01:09.280i look at a guy like prudentialist i said this to my wife if you can believe i said talking about
03:01:13.040him i'm like he's a very smart young man those words came out of my mouth that's how you know
03:01:17.620you're old but for the young men out there uh mr fahrenheit yeah so mr fahrenheit uh out for young
03:01:26.700man like what would you you said there's a lot of opportunity what would you recommend to the the
03:01:31.380young men out there i would recommend the following go into one of three career fields all right go
03:01:36.200into finance go into logistics go into petroleum and energy production go into those three career
03:01:41.000fields all right maximize your ability learn how to code learn how to use chat gpt learn how to
03:01:46.560create data driven sort of presentations um basically the entire future hinges upon our
03:01:53.320ability to do this um chat gpt has completely revolutionized everything and and in ways that
03:01:58.800cannot even begin to be discussed can anybody can anybody go over to chat gtp and ask it what0.91
03:02:04.640its walking gun is and if it comes back as as as fucking i oh my god i didn't even mean to do this0.70
03:02:13.700if it comes back as prudent as walking gun then i'll believe you otherwise chat gtp fails can0.95
03:02:21.520anybody in the chat go ask it what the best walking gun is because i guarantee you it's
03:02:25.760not going to be as smart as prude being a wise being a wise old man my my suggestion to the0.76
03:02:33.440younger man is absolutely opposite i think everyone should should take up robes and wander
03:02:38.380into the wilderness i agree these are all good ideas by the way i like what i'm hearing from0.99
03:02:44.040everybody not mutually exclusive ah that sounds like fucking participation trophy shit there can0.99
03:02:51.000be only one let me um i don't know let me let me instantiate some black pills0.99
03:02:56.720look i think as long as we have fun everybody's a winner you know call me crazy well that's the
03:03:02.860first rule of gun safety so i mean you have to abide by it it's to have fun but have fun um paul
03:03:08.360the point that you had made though about this is that i think that this kind of plays into the
03:03:12.040theory i've had about sort of the usg and foreign policy is this that man oh man the usg has no
03:03:18.860concept of time preference to wherein you know we have all these like decade or like century
03:03:23.740academic agent seems kind of right about that uh we're not gonna
03:03:27.080i have the mute button i have i have the talking gun um but most importantly is that i the the
03:03:42.000policy my theory of the usg is is that in this great wave of the quote-unquote unipolar moment
03:03:46.660that charles krauthammer wrote about in 1990 was this like flash in the pan um sort of orgasmic
03:03:54.140moment for the united states in terms of foreign policy and they are now enjoying the petite mort0.95
03:03:59.140and they're kind of realizing oh shit we have to catch up with the rest of the world0.95
03:04:02.120so in this little death of america the american empire happy new year i taught him that by the0.95
03:04:10.660way because i was reading lecon one no sorry i love you i love how the man who's never you know
03:04:16.360telling me about i i should have i should have said petite
03:04:19.140gentlemen if you would allow mr prudentialist to get his point out please yeah i'd like to do
03:04:28.220that on my own stream uh the thing is is though that in the in the midst of this post orgasmic
03:04:33.880moment the united states is realizing that they are they went to bed with a 10 and they woke up
03:04:37.940with it too and in this moment they're just really trying to catch up so in the midst of taking
03:04:42.120advantage of one their desire to sort of destabilize and do what it wants to do to russia
03:04:46.220it has created a complicated events that it can catch up with for instance what has the war in
03:04:51.560the ukraine done besides utterly tank semiconductor production manufacturing why because the two
03:04:57.040companies that produce roughly 60 percent of the world's semiconductor great neon happen to be
03:05:01.660situated in ukraine while at the same time also throwing europe into sort of this economic dark
03:05:06.240age with regards to energy but also it being tied desperately to the united states because we know
03:05:10.740anytime that the u.s catches a cold the rest of the world manages to suffer we can refer back to
03:05:15.300the euro crisis for this as it should be in the yaki is still with you however well listen i know0.72
03:05:23.100that one power is claiming to fight global satanism in the world and it's not america so i don't know
03:05:27.960well before we get there my point is is that in this midst of creating its chaos where does what
03:05:33.960what they get to do. It gets to take advantage and play catch up. So you're talking about all
03:05:37.280these issues regarding the supply chains, logistics, energy production. This is why we've
03:05:41.540seen a greater connection with Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company that
03:05:45.160they want to move one to Japan and to open up a plant in Arizona. We just had the USA Chips Act
03:05:50.160to help reinvest companies here in the United States. They're literally pulling MAGA, but from
03:05:54.240the left, which is kind of funny. While at the same time, China's ass to the curb with regards0.99
03:06:00.300to semiconductor manufacturing, while at the same time already exploring with the Department0.95
03:06:04.860of Interior with this administration about rare earth mineral mining, because China still controls
03:06:08.96080% of the world's REEs in that regard for military production. While at the same time,
03:06:15.240Secretary Blinken had just announced a couple of days ago that they cannot supply at two fronts
03:06:19.560at the same time with Russia and Ukraine and Taiwan and China. So they're kind of having to
03:06:24.720pit both. So at the same time, they're kind of waging an economic war to sort of hurly as fast
03:06:29.600as they can cover the distance from say 1992 to 2022 although now 2023 and i just think that what
03:06:36.840you're getting into paul is true i just think that it validates a lot of that the u.s will think one0.97
03:06:42.380way and then it kind of looks at the geopolitical consequences and goes oh shit we gotta we gotta0.80
03:06:46.980course correct really quick that's what obama's pivot to asia was really about was trying to0.66
03:06:51.240find a way to contain china in the midst of 20 plus years of this wto first world trading partner0.76
03:06:57.980status and the great global sucking sound of american manufacturing to the global south0.99
03:07:02.440and i think that we are going to see an era of deglobalization even the foreign affairs council0.99
03:07:06.940of foreign relations people are talking about it and when those fuckers are talking about it that's0.98
03:07:10.760when you know that things are getting a little more serious on the now prude if i could ask you0.98
03:07:14.780a question now you had mentioned um very interestingly about obama in asia and i just
03:07:19.060had this might sound like a very very dumb question but i was wondering how much of these decisions
03:07:23.180are, in fact, tied to whoever the president is? Meaning, whether it's Obama or Bush or whoever,
03:07:29.140would these moves be being done regardless of whoever is the president at the time? Or is it
03:07:34.940really tied to their decisions? It's not as much tied to their decisions as it is what options are
03:07:41.900available to them. I mean, Bush's strategy towards China is vastly different than, say,
03:07:48.080a much more aggressive uh obama foreign policy of increased foreign uh increased freedom of
03:07:53.780navigation operations increased uh you know attempts to get things like the trans-pacific
03:07:58.240partnership up and running trying to make a the association of southeast asian nations a little
03:08:02.520less dependent on like chinese navy and stuff like that but i mean it does vary from administration
03:08:07.960to administration also really depends on who you staff it with so i mean there were not a lot of
03:08:12.380bush guys left over when obama took office from the state department and i mean that was hillary's
03:08:17.100you know, place of torture and pain until she fell on the knife for Benghazi and things like
03:08:23.900that. But I mean, the thing that I see coming towards in the future is it's going to be a much
03:08:27.880more stratified in places where it's going to be cold, but semi hot conflict areas. My prediction
03:08:34.600for the 2020s going forward has been, there needs to be a really serious reexamination of the
03:08:40.240American Monroe Doctrine, because when Secretary, then Secretary of State John Kerry under the
03:08:45.540obama administration more or less said ah the monroe doctrine sister you don't really give a0.82
03:08:49.340shit about that um and in the past 20 years who has been one of the largest single investors in0.97
03:08:54.860south america particularly the lithium triangle which faces the um faces the pacific oh man0.98
03:09:01.540and it's china so you know chile yeah and so they've been investing in an area to combat you
03:09:08.680know to get access to rare minerals lithium things that they need um while at the same time
03:09:12.460investing. And they even got Uruguay, one of the few countries on God's green earth that recognizes
03:09:17.500the independent sovereignty of Taiwan. And they about faced in the wake of Chinese pressure and
03:09:22.440investment. And so I really think that we're going to see South America be a really big global hotspot
03:09:27.580for potential conflicts between great powers, because there is more leftist leaders emerge
03:09:33.160that are more nationalist leaning like AMLO and others. They don't want anything to do with the
03:09:37.320organization of American states. They really are more focused on CELAC, the community of Latin
03:09:41.600american caribbean states or something like that well well you want to worry and this again might
03:09:45.920be a very you know what's the opposite of a galaxy whatever the size of that is brain to take uh but
03:09:52.200i was wondering like do um do the american institutions kind of feel like they know how
03:09:57.340to control latin america uprisings and leftist leaders you know what i mean yeah
03:10:03.460we're not well we don't have total control of the consequences of it but i mean we've
03:10:11.540got a pretty dedicated history of look yeah but what if ukraine happens in our backyard instead
03:10:17.340of russia's so i think this point is uh is uh worth considering well that's the scary thing
03:10:23.720is what country could that potentially happen well i don't know what country could it potentially
03:10:29.700not happen 2.0s type idea who knows but i mean the thing that's really scary this is the
03:10:36.120interesting thing is is that in the latest and i covered this in one of my streams of 2022 and i
03:10:42.680also did it with um radlib was that one of the things that the latest talks between china and
03:10:49.640celac was discussing was um telecommunications infrastructure autonomous vehicles and this
03:10:56.940includes uavs and the sharing of intelligence for counter-narcotics and counter-terror operations
03:11:02.580Now, the moment that you get sort of the Chinese military institutions closer and closer to the back door of the United States, the literal servant's entrance, right, the rear end coming up from the south, things are going to get really interesting in the next couple of decades.
03:11:16.160So I think that that's going to be a real interesting sticking point that the next American president, whoever that may be, or it or she or whatever, the great acting of the next president, we're definitely going to see some interesting bits there.0.74
03:11:30.480That's why I find the fentanyl debacle here in America is important.
03:11:35.380I do think that very obviously it's a weapon of war.
03:11:38.440It's the one stock part of the country that actually fights the wars.
03:11:43.140You missed an important thing, of course, is that you also need to, in the short term,
03:11:48.960keep the supply lines open between South America and Ukraine,
03:11:53.600because there's a very important commodity that Zelensky cannot do without.
03:16:24.120But the problem, of course, is that then come the late 90s and the early 2000s, well, wait a minute, there's an amazing new use for helium, which of course is to cool enormously powerful semiconducting magnets, which are used in MRIs, which are used in the Large Hadron Collider, which are used in all sorts of things.
03:16:50.340suddenly now helium is extraordinarily useful and valuable for scientific um and military and
03:16:58.800medical purposes you know so the u.s government had just basically squandered its entire
03:17:04.440most of its stockpile helium yeah there was an article from nbc october 22 of 2022 global helium
03:17:12.920shortage for liquid helium listen if we have a helium shortage and you're telling me that folks
03:17:18.160at CERN can't change this reality again,
03:46:36.200Yeah, but I'm a person who, like, you know, I mean, if you're talking about, you know, popular music, I mean, I've got, like, the complete recordings of Camel, you know, Gentle Giants, you know, entire discography, you know, I mean, I am, in that vein, I tend to be, you know, sort of prog rock type person.
03:46:59.520you are heavily prog rock you've got like yes and yeah yes and and and and fucking i i i have
03:47:07.340on your arm yeah the land lies down on broadway and you know but genesis genesis yes but i'm very0.93
03:47:15.660i have very catholic phil collins before he became phil collins phil collins when he was still like0.59
03:47:20.440fucking drumming for brianino's solo records in the mid-70s you know0.52
03:47:24.880i was gonna say hey send me a guy you always struck me as someone who would be into metal0.97
03:47:34.760now is that a correct assessment or am i way off uh no i liked i like some metal and i hung out
03:47:41.380with metal people and i definitely listen to real metal but i'm old so like for me
03:47:46.060judas priest from my period is like stained glass right where you're like
03:47:51.780stand by for excited like for me it's very flat um so yeah i'm not a true metal person because
03:48:01.340i don't i like some iron maiden i like a bunch of black sabbath uh here and there i know some
03:48:07.320other things like some celtic frost i'll dig some slayer but like the whole metal went to0.98
03:48:12.840all kinds of places like as soon as they started doing that fucking0.88
03:48:16.380i couldn't i couldn't go there i was also like a queen queen's right super high-pitched things0.98
03:48:28.380you know queen's right i couldn't do it
03:48:31.740it's a real anglo moment right there queen's right um but i was going to ask you like as
03:48:38.940you say you're an older guy i'm kind of getting up there too do you find that you're just interested
03:48:43.060in sort of the older stuff or do you keep up with like newer stuff no i don't i'm interested0.98
03:48:48.180any of it you're all fucking useless absolutely i don't listen to anything produced within the0.98
03:48:53.300last 20 years because it's fucking awful you're right i haven't i don't mostly listen to anything0.99
03:48:59.540made after 1994 uh or with with a few exceptions i mean i mean you have to keep in mind you know0.90
