00:00:00.000 As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a killer in your church. 0.99
00:00:17.020 Blood Satellite.
00:00:18.920 So you heard Scott Adams died?
00:00:21.400 I did.
00:00:22.860 Creator of the long-running comic strip Dilbert died this morning at age 68.
00:00:27.140 Scott Adams' legacy complicated in his later years
00:00:30.640 as he pivoted from satirizing American corporate culture
00:00:34.080 in his comic strip to sharing right-wing commentary in his podcast.
00:00:40.700 I'm not cheering.
00:00:42.500 I mean, I said I was going to celebrate years ago
00:00:44.480 when he announced his impending death,
00:00:46.140 but I mean, I'm not crying either.
00:00:50.620 Every time you see someone's death coming like that,
00:00:53.520 you're hoping they pull a rabbit out of the hat, don't you?
00:00:57.140 what like they live forever yeah he does the opposite of dying but i'm like yeah he's he's
00:01:07.080 obviously dying and he's wasting away yeah very much like steve jobs and very much a steve jobs
00:01:13.000 type of guy he has a steve jobs silhouette at least doesn't he he's like a poor man steve jobs 1.00
00:01:19.360 in the sense that he's an asshole but nowhere near as big an asshole as steve jobs yeah and 0.99
00:01:24.260 then he was dying of some kind of cancer and then you know wouldn't stop talking about it and i 1.00
00:01:28.700 think was pursuing i don't believe all these stories because people are saying he was taking
00:01:33.000 ivermectin instead of cancer treatment i'm like that doesn't sound like something he would do
00:01:38.300 he he's not i don't think he's very much of an anti-vax guy even you know i mean like he he would
00:01:44.060 be free basing chemotherapy if he could yeah so that's that's just my gut feeling here but then
00:01:52.120 he kept live streaming, he wouldn't
00:01:54.680 log off.
00:01:56.660 He couldn't.
00:01:58.900 There's only one guy who's pulled that off, and that's
00:02:00.960 Jim. That's Mr. Medeker.
00:02:03.200 Yeah, that's true, actually.
00:02:05.140 To the point where...
00:02:07.060 Look, I love Mr. Medeker.
00:02:09.460 I've donated money
00:02:10.660 on one of his first final
00:02:13.040 streams.
00:02:15.240 I remember donating quite a bit of money
00:02:17.040 on his first I'm Dying Tomorrow
00:02:18.880 stream.
00:02:19.440 well played mr medical and that was like three four years ago 0.95
00:02:25.000 fucking this what anime is jim watching this week 0.97
00:02:29.520 but he's still hanging but he can get away with it you can have one of those 0.99
00:02:34.280 guys out there yeah i i can tolerate one of those guys
00:02:37.980 yeah but one one of the two of them has to die you can't keep both
00:02:41.620 who we keeping i'm going to keep mr medical same no i jim that was a good we 0.81
00:02:45.900 won on that one imagine if jim had a died and scott survived that would suck oh oh now it gives
00:02:53.060 me heebie-jeebies just thinking about him yeah do you want to see his final message released
00:02:57.720 posthumously yes did you read this yet this is i i skimmed it i didn't read both pages but
00:03:03.320 something about how he found jesus okay we got to go through this line by light first of all the
00:03:08.440 fact that he skimmed a two-page letter is wild you can just read it oh it's not important a final
00:03:16.740 message from scott adams so if you're reading this things do not go well for me we're starting
00:03:22.200 with the humor i like that's how i would start yep i think i could only write a final message
00:03:29.440 when i'm in the emotional state of being moments from death if i write it too early it's going to
00:03:36.680 be very dismissive and funny it's going to be a full of pranks yeah it's going to be i'm going
00:03:43.120 to be talking about hidden gold i'm going to be starting rumors that's good so this he wrote this
00:03:48.740 in january 1st so i don't know he died like a couple days ago i'm like that's that might be
00:03:55.080 too many days i gotta be fading so he says my body failed before my brain somewhat pretentious but
00:04:02.740 I'm in a sound mind as I write this
00:04:05.140 January 1st. If you wonder
00:04:07.120 about any of my choices for my estate or
00:04:09.100 anything else, please know I'm free of any coercion
00:04:11.360 or inappropriate influence of any
00:04:13.240 sort, I promise. The
00:04:15.140 lady doth protest 1.00
00:04:17.100 too much, I think. 1.00
00:04:19.200 Because he's got an ex-wife
00:04:21.100 who seems like a great solid gal
00:04:23.380 and then he's got 1.00
00:04:24.840 the Instagram whore, new 1.00
00:04:27.140 wife. Oh, really? 1.00
00:04:28.980 I didn't even know that. Who's nowhere
00:04:30.980 to be seen.
00:04:31.740 teams have no emotional connection to him so this is i've seen some photos and whatnot you know he's
00:04:38.380 he's living la vida loca and uh so i i do wonder if there's some sexual impropriety some financial
00:04:46.800 sexual impropriety anyway just why would you even say that like we say that in your will
00:04:52.220 oddly specific thing to say yeah don't you don't write something by saying like by the way everything
00:04:58.300 i said my will is correct we assume i would hope so so he says next many of my christian friends
00:05:08.360 have asked me to find jesus before i go i mean i wouldn't at this point you know what i mean is
00:05:14.960 his christian friends have probably been trying for a while i always thought of that as a really
00:05:19.460 catholic thing the whole like oh let's let's convert you like on your deathbed like i look
00:05:23.900 i'm not a theologian but like as a protestant it's like you kind of if you get more than halfway
00:05:27.340 way through life like you're kind of a lost guy you're not i'm sorry but you're not going it should
00:05:30.700 be harder yeah you got a lot of catching up to do there pal i want a priest to say what have you
00:05:35.360 done for me lately yeah really like oh so now now you pick up the phone he's like don corleone like
00:05:43.780 you've known me for years when's the last time you invited me over for a dinner here's the thing
00:05:47.620 about priests they live for free dinners that's all they do honestly like like the priest in my
00:05:55.280 church like he loves if you invite him over for dinner my god like you're getting choice seating
00:06:01.140 you can choice they'll reserve a spot in the pew for you so you don't need to get there early
00:06:05.300 amazing um i'm not a believer but i have to admit the risk reward calculation for doing so
00:06:11.780 looks attractive so here i go i accept jesus christ as my lord and savior and look forward
00:06:17.460 to spending an eternity with him so um i still hope i qualify for entry
00:06:22.480 here's what i love about this so he's just saying like you know i ran the numbers
00:06:28.260 and i'm a christian now and i accepted jesus christ well first of all what do you think
00:06:34.760 about that what's your gut reaction to that if i'm being serious about it if he's sincere
00:06:40.900 then maybe maybe he's saved it's not for me to say it's possible that he's saved it's wonderful
00:06:46.020 if it's sincere it just doesn't sound sincere to me it sounds like classic scott adams dispassionate
00:06:51.700 you know you know a sarcastic riffing so so one of the benefits of being a catholic is it is my
00:06:57.900 place to judge and i choose to let's go let's have it look at this and i say you know if you
00:07:05.380 would just as you say accepted christ in your heart you could actually just do that privately
00:07:10.600 and it would have the same effect yep you you don't need first of all if you're going to write
00:07:15.320 it out also and declare it don't proceed it by saying look i'm only doing this because i've ran
00:07:21.200 the numbers i'm only doing this like he's telling you he did it cynically he's telling me he's like
00:07:26.320 yeah exactly and my nervous friends kept asking me about it he says he starts by saying you know
00:07:31.840 a pretty daring choice i'm not a believer but the risk award calculation looks attractive so
00:07:37.660 you're saying that none of this is real yeah so but so writing you think you think jesus christ 0.98
00:07:45.380 is reading this motherfucker no he's probably looking into what's in your heart and you're 0.98
00:07:49.120 telling me so to me that's very pretentious that's almost like a joke saying like oh i hope heaven's 1.00
00:07:55.420 open to me uh it's not you're burning in hell right now you hear that you hear that guys laughing all 0.85
00:08:02.860 the way to hell baby hell hell baby it's scott adam's bones warping in the fires of hell 0.66
00:08:11.960 not even before this he might have just ended up in purgatory because dilbert is a good comic 0.53
00:08:16.940 and i bet god likes dilbert but just this last little thing this little sneer he does nope
00:08:24.640 straight to straight to the the dark flames that's what i said and with your permission i'd also like
00:08:32.700 to explain something about my life i'm going to skim this because we don't we've already spent way
00:08:36.540 too long on this he says for the first part of my life i was focused on making myself a worthy
00:08:40.660 husband and parent as a way to find meaning that worked but marriages don't always last forever
00:08:44.980 and mine eventually ended uh once the marriage unwound i needed a new focus a new meeting so i
00:08:49.500 donated myself to the world literally speaking the words literally speaking the words out loud
00:08:54.880 in my otherwise silent hell that marked the start of my evolution from dilbert cartoonist to an
00:09:00.100 author of what i hoped would be useful books as luck would have it i'm a good writer my first book
00:09:05.280 of useful the useful genre was how to fail at almost everything and still succeed so i'm just
00:09:10.380 going to summarize this he spends the next three paragraphs discussing his books he's shilling his
00:09:15.660 books on his deathbed he's shilling his books in his farewell letter from his deathbed he doesn't
00:09:23.120 mention dilbert at all he mentioned that that right there he said my first career as dilbert
00:09:28.200 cartoonist led to my second career and he says you know i followed up with my book win bigley
00:09:33.480 that that trained an army of citizens how to be more persuasive which they correctly saw as a minor
00:09:38.520 superpower and he said finally my book reframe your brain taught readers how to program their
00:09:43.880 own thoughts to make their personal and professional lives better like he's just selling books yeah
00:09:49.640 this would be like i'm on my deathbed saying in my death rattle saying click the bell in the
00:09:57.240 corner you don't need to get notifications you've got nothing else to say i would rather you talk
00:10:04.040 about dilbert yeah people liked dilbert no one liked winning win bigly is that is that important
00:10:11.080 is that an important book you it was important was the pointy-haired boss you know what was
00:10:15.880 important was cat bird i said the other day and this is just one of those things that i say in
00:10:22.440 the moment and then a few days later i decide if i believe it or not but uh i forget what i was
00:10:27.640 was responding to but i said dilbert was more consequential than all black music combined
00:10:33.540 that's just a fact i believe yeah yeah yeah yeah in in the cold light of a few nights later i think
00:10:41.620 that to be true he doesn't mention it all he says i also started podcasting a live show called coffee
00:10:47.180 with scott abs he's ending on my farewell address if you catch me mentioning my podcast even though
00:10:54.760 this is a beloved podcast a benevolent podcast some say magnanimous i'd say i'm not i don't
00:11:01.720 think i'd mention i'd probably mention i'd probably issue some threats i probably mostly
00:11:07.440 talk about my family my kids yeah yeah i talk about my family i talk about uh i talk about
00:11:15.920 all my regrets i might just talk about bionicle for like an hour an hour an hour of reading time
00:11:21.860 which is, every page
00:11:23.920 is a minute, so it's like
00:11:26.040 60 pages 0.98
00:11:27.940 you can say, why don't you fucking just copy 0.95
00:11:30.000 and paste the Bionicle Wikipedia 0.97
00:11:31.440 laughter
00:11:32.520 laughter
00:11:33.860 laughter
00:11:35.860 he says, I had an amazing life, I gave it
00:11:39.940 everything I had, if you got any benefits
00:11:41.980 from my work, I'm asking you to pay it for
00:11:43.940 it as best you can, that's the legacy
00:11:46.080 I want
00:11:46.720 did he have kids?
00:11:50.160 i thought he had a child it's weird being married for that long and not having any kids he had a
00:11:56.700 stepson who he despised gross and allowed and seemed to celebrate when he died i don't think
00:12:03.660 he had any children of his own see i mean this is like what do you say if you don't have honestly
00:12:08.580 if you don't have a family and you're writing the final message what do you say yeah this i guess
00:12:15.400 this is actually what we're what we're witnessing so long and thanks for all the fish yeah
00:12:19.220 looking rapist the dolphins yeah just talking about i wrote some books and um it's all pretty
00:12:28.880 well and i i did a a cartoon that made people feel stupid about their job
00:12:35.000 let me say this though i liked dilbert yeah i mean i never read it but it seemed okay
00:12:42.500 you never you never you know what i read it in the funnies in the sun when i was a kid but i
00:12:47.020 don't think i ever like i never picked up like a book i wasn't you know i mean like you can read
00:12:50.840 the funnies but also you can get like a garfield book i wasn't a garfield book guy or a dilbert
00:12:56.280 guy i got news for you i own five there you go there it is five of those dilbert books when i
00:13:01.020 was like very very young and uh i liked it i unironically and genuinely it was funny yeah it
00:13:08.160 was funny well especially compared to other comics so you open up the funnies and behold
00:13:14.480 you got doonesbury yeah doonesbury sucks doonesbury which is like a was like an old 0.97
00:13:21.180 aged gen x who reads doonesbury yeah like then there's marmaduke i don't know what the fuck 0.99
00:13:28.220 that's on about i don't know what they're smoking my grandmother like marmaduke i don't know what 0.84
00:13:34.880 it's incoherent i don't understand it when i read it it's just it's just like iq 90 elderly women
00:13:41.600 being like oh that dog and then there's family circus which you actually remember all the funnies 0.96
00:13:48.300 holy shit makes me feel it feels like you're finding your grandfather's porn stash when you 0.94
00:13:53.580 like family circus i don't like it um but like dilbert stood out as just something that was 0.99
00:13:58.500 absurd it was absurd enough and relevant enough like everything else seems stuck at time or
00:14:05.300 there's calvin and hobbs that's separate that's like that's a that seems like a real cultural 0.77
00:14:10.220 artifact yes calvin and hobbs it's something beyond the rest of this horseshit um but yeah
00:14:17.780 it wasn't it wasn't bitter and it wasn't just somehow some comics it's like you're look you're
00:14:24.020 peering into the mind of someone with alzheimer's yeah you know it's like uh if you see that movie
00:14:30.120 the father with anthony hopkins which is a very disturbing and tragic movie from the perspective
00:14:37.560 of a man with alzheimer's right and what his day-to-day is like and and time gets mixed up
00:14:43.460 and everything that's what it's like reading a lot of these comics so he's dead that's that's
00:14:48.020 unfortunate but and a lot of people are saying well you know hope hope he found peace at the end
00:14:53.680 i'm here to tell you he did not i think i think he died miserable i think he died yapping
00:15:01.360 do it you know you got your final words then you have your final
00:15:04.960 monologue and it doesn't go well my my what are your final words going to be do you think if you
00:15:11.680 are blessed with such uh happenstance um you mean like on my deathbed or what i would write
00:15:19.120 like what i would say yeah what do we say i'd say bye and i try to hold it as long as i can
00:15:26.640 but
00:15:30.240 say uh-oh
00:15:39.440 whoops
00:15:42.480 last words did i do that
00:15:44.560 i like to arrange it that my bowels don't evacuate the moment i die i'd like to
00:15:52.820 take care of it before get get myself all i'll cleanse and then i die so it's not like oh i die
00:16:01.380 and now there's a rank smell in the room fair that's reasonable actually i'd like that too
00:16:06.340 what do you what would you do be one of those like a yogi where like weeks before you die
00:16:11.460 you just don't eat anything yeah i assume i probably wouldn't be that hungry or maybe i would
00:16:17.220 maybe i just be in a lot of cheese curd i've eaten a lot of cheese curd and ice cream maybe
00:16:22.120 that's how you die actually you just you happen to be on a binge where you're eating a lot of
00:16:26.980 cheese curds and ice cream you're thinking that you're passing away in a hospice but when you are
00:16:32.920 on your deathbed is just your bed yeah yeah at the age of 52 well we we promised each other that
00:16:39.120 what do we say like 52 55 that we're just going to get really we're just going to come just lose it
00:16:44.780 just do a lot of heroin i can't wait yeah i can't wait kids are in college all right it's time to
00:16:50.540 die i can't wait till they're all squared away i'm gonna i'm gonna figure it out and uh i'm not
00:16:56.480 gonna leave you with any debt i'm gonna leave you with a couple a couple hundred bucks like the
00:17:00.460 things i'm gonna be doing are cheap the things that when we say we let loose we're not going on
00:17:05.720 carnival cruise we're not going to be buying a bunch of vintage motorcycles new it's just meth
00:17:13.080 it's just heroin and and you know and a few a few guns and it's a joker look what i was able to do

00:17:39.940 with it and now you don't have to worry about it i don't want to say nothing to live for it's
00:17:43.780 better than that it's positive nothing live for this is what i'm living for at this point yeah
00:17:48.780 yeah we're living for whatever the hell is going to go on it's a good age to do it too you're not 0.98
00:17:53.180 going to do this shit at 80 maybe like an 80 year old who's you know start your bucket list as young 0.99
00:17:59.840 as possible then when you're 80 just go nuts start living someone else's life you've lived 1.00

00:18:19.440 what doesn't kill you simply make use legalized nuclear bombs this is
00:18:28.320 the wisdom of someone who is not old but has thought incessantly about being old

00:19:58.500 she looks like a she should be a female comedian that nobody watches of course whenever we discuss 1.00
00:20:04.640 the news here in blood salad we have to spend a few minutes breaking down the face the head the 1.00
00:20:09.520 body of who we're talking about let me just get her up on the screen here doesn't know how to 0.98
00:20:14.560 smile uh too too much neck too much uh i'll tell you what that head had she been alive will jowl 1.00
00:20:22.660 up nice oh yeah oh yeah she's one third chin by volume my my goodness uh nose ring from the looks
00:20:29.820 of it what do we know about her i guess this is really the story here because she is and we all 1.00
00:20:36.080 of the story but let's just go over the bullet points here she is out at a protest to defend
00:20:41.960 somalis to defend you know all these leftist protests are the same you know whatever it's
00:20:47.340 about we can tell you what it's really about it's about defending the mass migrants the math which 0.68
00:20:54.300 makes it sound like they're there's you know singularities the mass migrants like they're 0.89
00:20:59.860 fucking black holes in a sense they are but uh it's all i don't care if she was like it was a 0.98
00:21:05.200 fucking anti-bank protest it's somehow going to be about somalis but i'm pretty sure it was about 0.99
00:21:09.460 and um there was some debate on our side even from some very large creators some very prominent 0.99
00:21:18.300 voices about whether or not the ice agent who shot her was her fault so two are involved she's
00:21:24.720 backing her car up because she's blocking traffic looks like she's about to leave she's running into 0.97
00:21:30.340 a nice officer uh whether or not she sees him i suspect she did i suspect that she was trying to 0.97
00:21:37.700 ram the guy whether or not she was spooked because she's a woman behind the wheel of a car that's
00:21:43.460 what some people were saying uh she got spooked and then just drove forward and then didn't see
00:21:47.780 him there and then he shot her in the head she drives off hits a pole of course woman moment 0.96
00:21:55.220 woman alert and then her what her lesbian wife her pooner was filming the entire thing as well 0.98
00:22:05.720 she's dressed like a guy straight out of oshawa a guy who's bumming cigarettes like most of these 1.00
00:22:13.960 fucking lesbian women are so that's all you know then you got a lot of creators saying that you 1.00
00:22:18.840 know what we don't like these people but this is an overreach of ice this week these are goons 1.00
00:22:26.560 these are jackbooted thugs they'll be coming for you tomorrow um so before i go on what do you
00:22:34.540 think about all this it reminds me a little bit of george floyd where it was obvious to anybody 0.72
00:22:41.000 from the beginning what actually happened which is to say that she ran a cop over with her car
00:22:48.020 and then got shot for it like this happens all the time actually so um yeah and then of course
00:22:53.620 like they have nine different layers of lie that have to get worked through day by day as new video 0.99
00:22:59.300 evidence comes out it's just it i'm tired honestly i'm tired of it like i'm fatigued with this shit 0.97
00:23:05.460 yeah this one uh i was surprised at how much controversy was causing on our side um but i 0.87
00:23:14.320 guess i shouldn't be surprised but if i could summarize the different viewpoints here uh on
00:23:20.160 one hand you have a white woman who was shot in the head i don't like that there's rumors that
00:23:27.380 uh the shooter was mexican or something he in fact turned out to be a white man with an asian wife 0.81
00:23:34.260 because i think you have to be to do something like this yeah we know he's a nazi because he's
00:23:40.180 got he's got an asian wife honestly it was probably her idea he had her on bluetooth and 0.97
00:23:48.400 she's like oh my god honey shoot her she's telling him to pull the trigger as he walked 0.93
00:23:53.300 into the situation but um so a white woman shot in the face a mother had children i understand 0.95
00:24:02.680 how you would not want to be seen celebrating that because that's what we were seeing in the
00:24:09.200 wake of this we were seeing celebration akin to what we were seeing when charlie kirk was shot
00:24:14.960 you remember the jubilation the left was feeling they were passing around memes they were trafficking 0.92
00:24:20.200 in jokes they were making fucking charlie kirk shot in the neck jacks you know and saying how 0.81
00:24:27.380 funny it was and making little references like hope you get charlie kirk they loved it i thought 0.95
00:24:32.080 it was funny seeing a guy shot in the neck so these people are people sharing memes about a
00:24:38.640 woman shot in the face same sort the one for one the exact same thing and i think a lot of people 0.97
00:24:44.460 were responding to that fucking even the the likes of morgoth sargon of account academic agent a lot 0.98
00:24:51.480 of the a lot of people were saying distributors the people i know people i respect were saying 0.99
00:24:57.720 you know this is lurid this is disgusting uh maga has a problem with being despicable in this
00:25:07.960 instance uh and and you're reveling in the chaos and the gore and what have you and uh i was
00:25:15.580 excusing that by saying um i guess i'm getting ahead of myself here but let me just okay i'll
00:25:20.040 just pause here and say i was actually talking to morgoth who was on our show recently about this
00:25:25.860 um and he was he was saying that this sort of thing an academic agent and others were saying
00:25:31.900 is this sort of thing was always it's it's unbecoming of you know a white man it's very
00:25:40.300 plebeian it's very low class and all i was saying was the low class exists the plebs exists no one
00:25:48.700 is attempting to be a landed gentry here we're all low class you're low class we are we're not we're
00:25:56.460 not elites are we yeah we're not aristocrats so this is what what i see is people reacting 0.95
00:26:02.620 to the volume being turned up on all these things they're seeing how and this is what the left will
00:26:08.620 say it's like oh yesterday you were saying that it was you shouldn't do this and now you're doing
00:26:13.180 yeah because you didn't listen and this is what conservatives even are waking up to it's like we
00:26:17.500 spend years saying why can't you be more dignified and you didn't do it and so now they've just
00:26:22.380 adapted so you can't say how hypocritical it is no there that doesn't exist anymore so people are
00:26:27.820 just we're doing to you what you did to us um and so i'm not here's the i would not do this myself
00:26:34.940 i don't trade in these memes i don't like just like being gleeful about a woman shot in the head
00:26:41.580 like that's just not something i'm interested in or i find particularly funny but i would defend
00:26:47.660 the right of people to do it because i see what's going on here right with that being said you know
00:26:54.060 still white woman shot in the head don't want to celebrate it um i guess my main point is 0.98
00:27:00.700 couldn't have happened to a nicer gal 1.00
00:27:07.820 because everything we know about her let's you know zoom out from renee renee nicole good white 0.98
00:27:15.740 woman yes white mother yes widow uh husband passed away she goes ahead and marries a woman which i 0.98
00:27:25.420 don't care who you are that's strange if you're a man your wife dies you just become gay that's 0.93
00:27:32.460 something that's that's dark yeah that's nefarious right um takes her kids moves them up to canada 0.99
00:27:40.700 because of trump fleeing canada with her pooner wife then moves back to fight trump in the streets 0.92
00:27:48.620 to resist and according to what i've read enroll their kid in sort of a social justice style school 0.84
00:27:55.500 of daycare preschool of some kind very left-leaning they're at the protest they're affiliated with
00:28:01.020 antifa they these are political agitators and they seem to center political agitation in their lives 1.00
00:28:07.180 so this is a fucking white woman yes but also a lesbian anti-white communist 1.00
00:28:13.260 who is out there defending illegal immigrants from scamming you of your tax dollars you see 1.00
00:28:21.140 like i ethnicity and race aside i see this as an enemy and i think it's important that we 0.66
00:28:29.880 identify her as an enemy and i've seen so many people say that and i've said this in the past
00:28:36.440 too i tend to treat many women as they don't as dogs they don't have agency i'm i'm hyper
00:28:43.720 misogynistic but that makes me hyper forgiving as well but i do have to believe that at some point
00:28:51.400 an individual even of your own kinfolk can be so aligned against you and your interests
00:28:56.920 that you don't just see them as a comrade you don't see them they must believe such that they 0.99
00:29:03.160 must be so anti-white that i don't fucking care if you die anymore this is where the super racism 0.99
00:29:09.760 the better kind of racism not pan-white nationalism comes in handy because she isn't your kinfolk 1.00
00:29:16.420 neither is she mine she's from where fucking colorado she's not even from minnesota right 1.00
00:29:23.140 she's from somewhere else she's not my fucking kin yeah she has white skin is a fucking polish 1.00
00:29:28.180 guy my kin no i don't give a fuck man you know who my kin is i mean it's it's my family and it's 1.00
00:29:33.740 the people i'm moderately related to and then it's people of my culture within my geographic region 0.99
00:29:38.740 like within this 100 kilometer radius 50 kilometer radius like she's not my fucking kin i don't i 0.96
00:29:43.940 don't give a damn but then as you said beyond that if you can't see past race if you're literally 0.98
00:29:48.800 going to let your enemies win because they're the same color of skin as you you're like please leave 0.98
00:29:53.440 please go away we don't we don't want you this is not this is not helpful yeah an anti-white 1.00
00:29:59.200 lesbian communist got shot while defending blacks black illegal immigrants from she's white though 0.99
00:30:06.160 but she's white though so we need to be careful how right we all we can't we can't be too ghoulish 0.99
00:30:11.600 come on guys and she any other day that we were she here would laugh at you being shot in the
00:30:18.160 the head you listener me does anybody dug through has she got social media i wonder what she was
00:30:23.240 doing when charlie kirk was shot whether she was reposting and go like laughing over that probably
00:30:29.300 and i i am again i shouldn't laugh because i i don't want to splash around in this too much
00:30:36.400 but it did occur to me that leftist struggle to make martyrs and i'm thinking of you have george
00:30:43.680 floyd as the rare exception almost like that became too much of a runaway train that no one
00:30:49.280 could stop it they had to sanctify him and they buried him in a gold coffin it was you'd be
00:30:56.180 forgiven for thinking this was all like a prank but i'm also thinking of the two people that
00:31:03.360 kyle rittenhouse shot yeah it turned out that they were just pedophiles and then here's a woman 1.00
00:31:09.660 a political radical who's shot by a jackbooted thug and it just turns out that she's a fucking 1.00
00:31:16.360 she's a gay communist who from what i was reading had her kids taken away because 1.00
00:31:23.740 her lesbian wife was putting cigarettes out on their skin like she just an abusive malignant 0.99
00:31:30.380 right so i didn't know that the whole story but that's what i had read too it's like oh but she's 0.95
00:31:34.600 a mother okay she's not really a mother because she lost custody of her own children even though
00:31:39.420 she's a widow like the kids have no other parents and yet this you know society decided that she it 0.70
00:31:45.080 would still better for them to have no mother than to have her as a mother so let's not which
00:31:49.840 is hard to do these oh these poor oh these poor poor children are left motherless no no she left 0.93
00:31:54.520 the motherless not by getting shot which is also true but she left the motherless by being a 0.98
00:31:59.520 fucking psycho for she's probably more of a mother in death now but do you have too hard to 1.00
00:32:04.680 to get your children taken away in north america if you're a mother they won't even take the kids 1.00
00:32:11.280 away from junkies if they can avoid it you need to be committing so much neglect and so much abuse
00:32:18.500 on your children that is provable that they will take your kids away and give to the father who's
00:32:23.520 who's got negative rights in this society so i'm like that alone and people were saying that
00:32:29.120 they saw this and they said i guess trump just lost the woman vote lost the mother vote
00:32:34.660 are you sure is that what you think because i know a thing or two about mothers they don't have
00:32:42.700 any sort of unity someone pointed out there's a still from the video where her glove compartment
00:32:48.860 is stuffed with stuffed animals they said look at that that's a bad image i'm like yeah it's a 1.00
00:32:54.140 bad image because any mothers look at that and say what a fucking train wreck this bitch is 1.00
00:32:58.220 you got their stuffed animals crammed into the glove compartment what is wrong with you 1.00
00:33:02.900 is that that her favorite mother see that and they they they look at the state of her car they
00:33:08.540 look at the state of her dress and i think they clock her as just an utter batshit insane train 0.99
00:33:14.320 wreck mother yes because they see them all the fuck there's no solidarity amongst mothers like 0.98
00:33:19.420 that so it's not like they one of their own got taken out but that's people just don't understand 0.98
00:33:26.240 how people think they think this is going to be particularly damaging to trump i'm like
00:33:30.160 i don't think so is she the next martyr i was watching on the street protests where i'm seeing
00:33:36.760 all the black people black women and men alike saying that they don't want to lionize her too
00:33:42.400 much because at the end of the day she's still a white woman you know there's one silver lining 1.00
00:33:51.260 to this because people were saying that this hum the humiliation of renee is beneath us 0.53
00:33:59.320 and i'm a defender of humiliation you know this you know this we all know this outstanding
00:34:05.920 humiliation um especially you know standardized in society humiliation um because and this is
00:34:13.640 what i was saying to uh you know morgoth and the other people the other day and i was being very
00:34:17.820 cordial but they're like you know i think it wasn't said by work it was said by like
00:34:22.820 i believe radical liberation he's also someone i like but he had made a comment he's like you know
00:34:28.060 the way we're talking about this now would seem so anathema to our ancestors right and i said
00:34:35.220 well do you know anything about our ancestors let's say all european ancestors let's just go
00:34:40.640 broad with this their sense of humor was incredibly dark and death was far more immediate
00:34:46.060 and there was public hangings there was lynchings right like there was there was death around every
00:34:52.160 corner and i think they treated it much more casually than we did right now if you look at
00:34:58.320 some of the old stories and the limericks that they would uh trade right so i'm like you're just
00:35:03.560 in like this is what bothers me with people in this space especially is just the sort of comic
00:35:08.740 book idea of what your ancestors must have been like which is sort of like a i guess you think
00:35:14.820 are kind of aristocratic and dignified like they were not i mean they're more dignified than
00:35:19.540 contextually the africans you would see at the time but still their life was a bit harder
00:35:26.980 if you're living in a city you would see a few corpses in the street like let's be real here
00:35:31.540 anyway so what do we think about that no absolutely that's what a look i i like i like some of those 0.94
00:35:37.540 i like morgoth um i'm not sure about the rest of those guys but uh come on that that is ridiculous
00:35:43.540 like we are by far the softest generation that has ever existed and just to somehow project that
00:35:50.140 onto our ancestors like our ancestors also would be terrified of speaking ill of their enemies like 0.97
00:35:55.400 give me a give me a fucking break dude these people put heads on stakes these are people who 0.83
00:36:00.640 like adorned their fences with guts not everyone but if you saw a lot of them a lot of them like 0.99
00:36:07.920 when you see i think that's the thing that bugs me but it's say your ancestors i think you're
00:36:11.960 cherry picking i think you're talking about either your grandfather in the late 50s or your great
00:36:17.440 great grandmother in the victorian period or maybe no but that's and that's it that would actually be
00:36:23.640 it nobody else has decorum anywhere near what we have right now yeah if you're if you had ancestors
00:36:29.720 that served on a ship i don't care what type of ship they were teabagging corpses for fun because 0.98
00:36:35.420 they didn't have tv that's what you did put your balls in a corpse's mouth what else it's a true 0.95
00:36:42.280 story you heard else do you do to pass the time it gets funnier every time that's the good thing 0.99
00:36:49.460 about it but the value of the humiliation ritual the trafficking of the memes and everything 0.98
00:36:55.300 improve and just clowning on this woman even if you think she doesn't deserve it i'm reminded of
00:37:02.020 that guy you remember the guy he was in the army my enlisted man who lit himself ablaze for
00:37:10.220 palestine remember that guy yeah yeah i remember that and then uh what happened there is we all 0.91
00:37:16.180 made fun of him and called him a fat doofus and then he died for nothing i think maybe a couple
00:37:22.200 palestinians might have done something they named a i don't think named a crater after him i don't 0.98
00:37:28.200 know what the fuck because they named a street after i'm like what street i've seen the photos
00:37:35.140 it looks like fallout palestinians that have streets it looks like honestly it looks like 0.96
00:37:42.040 it looks like the moon yeah it looks show me a photo of like mars and that's what gaza looks 0.98
00:37:47.740 like i might say that's even funny i'm just like you know i can't imagine a greater insult than 0.98
00:37:53.460 saying you named a gazon street after someone this fuck you it's just oh thank thanks thanks 0.99
00:38:02.180 this blown up area full of like child bones like why would you do that to me i'd rather you name 0.99
00:38:07.060 an asteroid after me i don't know i don't know where i'm going with this i'm very scared right
00:38:12.420 now i'm deeply concerned about where i'm at but the trade the silver lining to this is that if we
00:38:21.460 humiliate this woman enough i do think that will dissuade other women from doing something like
00:38:28.100 this i'm reminded of this story and i don't know if it's real people are always talking about
00:38:36.340 from ancient greece that may or may not be real but uh i'm just gonna paraphrase it here
00:38:41.860 there's a story about this um highborn aristocratic woman who committed suicide
00:38:47.460 and um someone's gonna correct give the name of it because someone did it this is the second time
00:38:52.880 i've said this and like i don't know if it's real then someone did confirm it's real but uh she
00:38:57.400 committed suicide and a lot of other women saw how much attention she was getting and then there was
00:39:02.900 an epidemic of suicides for narcissistic reasons and then the um the emperor at the time said all
00:39:10.980 right the next woman who commits suicide we're hanging her in public naked and we're all going
00:39:16.160 make fun of her body and then the suicide stopped and i think that that is illustrative of a possible 0.99
00:39:24.160 solution which is that if we just humiliate this one pitch enough then maybe women stop going to
00:39:29.280 these protests yep because like you're not going to be a martyr you're not going to be respected
00:39:34.720 in death everyone's going to make fun of you everyone's going to be looking at your photo
00:39:38.640 like we are right now and zooming it and making commentary about the bridge of your nose 0.74
00:39:44.400 speculating on the hairiness of your legs saying you're a bad mom oh that's no do you have snakes
00:39:52.480 in your in the skulls in your closet we're going to find them and we're going to monetize the
00:39:57.560 content we make off of it is that what you want or would you rather go home or would you rather
00:40:02.660 watch netflix i think you'd rather watch netflix wouldn't you you should stop going to these
00:40:06.660 protests and then it's just going to be boomer men it's just going to be like vital guys yeah
00:40:14.300 so anyway i guess that's my take on the whole thing i wish it didn't happen but it did and
00:40:20.660 because it did hey there it is there it is yeah but um yeah i don't think it's going to affect
00:40:29.520 trump i don't think it's going to affect ice at all i think this energizes people like i i people
00:40:35.500 don't want to admit and i guess this was the point i was making with these other creators again who i
00:40:41.440 have nothing against nine times out of ten i'm like i i think you are underestimating how many
00:40:48.840 people are energized by this well like it's i don't think it overshadows it but they want
00:40:54.460 her death to overshadow the larger context which is an ice officer in the course of his duty was
00:41:01.140 almost killed by a maniac driver never mind the woman dying an ice officer was almost run over by
00:41:09.440 a maniac while trying to do his job that's the other headline underneath this one when you peel
00:41:15.920 the top one away and every and and it's not like we don't know that right so what we're going to be 0.99
00:41:21.760 left with after her dumb face fades from memory is yeah people are actually trying to kill 0.95
00:41:28.320 ice maybe we should give them more bullets and also if you want to get all emotional about 0.97
00:41:35.280 a woman who feels boxed in and is compelled to drive to get a situation can we revisit james
00:41:42.560 fields can we revisit yeah heather hire and how a person feels and they're boxed in by people who
00:41:50.560 wish to do them harm and they feel compelled to just drive forward to escape that situation yeah
00:41:55.120 is that by the way by the way there was only there were only two officers one at the driver's side
00:42:00.240 window and one of them coming around the front of her car like tapping on her hood when she ran him
00:42:04.000 over right she was by no means surrounded nobody had their guns drawn in fact not even a second
00:42:09.720 before she accelerated she was laughing and rolling her eyes and making sarcastic remarks
00:42:14.540 at one of the officers okay this is all on video james fields from the footage from overhead was
00:42:21.320 completely surrounded by how much like 60 people pounding on the glass when he accelerated so
00:42:29.500 let's let's talk about when it's when it's justified right i'd like to imagine that she's
00:42:34.840 still smiling and rolling her eyes and scoffing after she was shot and then driving into the 0.99
00:42:38.800 pole as well like she just can't fucking turn it off can she no so moving on to more serious 0.66
00:42:47.400 business um i got a couple articles i'd like to cover that tie into each other and i think you'll 0.96
00:42:56.040 find this interesting you haven't seen it already looking at bloomberg right now this is news i was
00:43:01.400 reading about recently it's circulating through all the various channels canadians are furious
00:43:08.720 after real estate funds lock up their money that's the headline sub headline subheading here
00:43:14.600 funds stung by the property downturn limit client withdrawals after assuring ordinary investors they
00:43:20.220 were safe and of course there's a photo here of toronto uh the line here toronto's real estate
00:43:27.680 market is struggling after years of significant growth oh that's one way to put it what about
00:43:34.200 runaway bull in a china shop of condo buildings such healthy growth for so long and to have it
00:43:41.140 all fall apart now what happened it's significant growth it's it's insane growth it's mentally
00:43:47.400 unwell growth the city like the skyline doubled in size in five years with buildings nobody's 1.00
00:43:54.780 living in and they're incomplete and they're just it's very chinese way of going about doing things 0.93
00:43:59.940 um it's starring an individual named andre el baba which is a very
00:44:07.060 globalist type name and that could be all kinds of races right there
00:44:11.920 um not long after his father invested a combined two million um rom spin announced it was blocking
00:44:19.940 withdrawals a last resort tactic that lets funds avoid selling assets when too many clients want
00:44:24.780 to pull out their money otherwise known as a run on the bank yeah um the principal andre assumed
00:44:30.540 would always be within reach was suddenly sealed off with no timeline for release he's getting only
00:44:35.200 a thin two percent stream of monthly income in return far less than expected every month andre's
00:44:40.520 account statements tell the same story the cash is still there but he can't move it which is the
00:44:46.500 exact same thing that happened with when russell simmons black entrepreneur started a black people 0.80
00:44:52.200 bank the huge scandal because he started this bank black owned black excellence black girl magic 0.53
00:45:00.900 and then people just couldn't access their money just one weekend he's like hey can i can i have 0.72
00:45:06.100 my money i said nah that's that's the one that destroys you it destroys your reputation but now
00:45:15.820 this is again 40 i was looking at numbers like 40 percent of canadians are are stuck in this 0.97
00:45:23.220 fucking prison right now across canada investors who poured billions in private real estate funds 0.97
00:45:29.580 suddenly can't touch their money stung by a deep downturn in the country's housing market many of 0.98
00:45:34.560 funds have restricted cash distributions the effects could be profound not just for investors
00:45:39.180 like el baba and then it goes into the history of it here but i was looking at other headlines
00:45:45.960 see if i could find it here hold on yeah i'm looking at even like remax canada housing
00:45:51.980 represents nearly 40 percent of all canada's gdp which is pretty fucking wild um estate funds
00:45:59.620 locked down what can investors need to know um yeah so like this is this is a huge problem this
00:46:07.120 should terrify everyone what are your initial thoughts on that well first of all the guy says
00:46:11.880 i had no idea i'd never be able to access the principal like the fact that you're even calling
00:46:16.040 a principal you must understand it isn't a bank you invested in a private fund it's a contract
00:46:22.180 based agreement and within the contract there's risk in fact they make you sign that you understand 0.76
00:46:28.020 the risk when you fucking join one of these i'm i own some of these and you like the fact that 0.76
00:46:34.840 you'd say like well when the market's good the money always increases and when the market's bad 1.00
00:46:39.620 i just sell no dumb ass that isn't like when the market's bad you you are shouldering the risk 0.99
00:46:45.940 that's part of the fucking agreement it's like with the housing market where people just generally 0.99
00:46:49.960 are buying property and when it's going up they're thrilled and they're rubbing it in our faces and 0.99
00:46:53.880 when it goes down they're trying to get everybody to bail them out like what a disaster oh how could 1.00
00:46:57.780 this happened to me like well you're speculating you fucking idiot you're a you're a gambler you're 1.00
00:47:03.020 fucking gambling so i don't know zero sympathy i'm honestly i'm rubbing my hands i'm laughing 1.00
00:47:09.080 at this shit yeah and uh it's serious this is hitting boomers very hard as well too oh yeah 0.99
00:47:15.640 um and because i was looking at house prices recently we got our house i think at a great 0.99
00:47:21.420 time in the market but it's only getting better for people and we were talking about this i think
00:47:26.300 maybe one or two episodes ago, the massive gap between home buyers and home sellers right now.
00:47:33.760 Yeah.
00:47:33.980 There's way more people trying to sell their home than people buying it.
00:47:36.640 That's in so many words.
00:47:38.340 That's what it is here in Canada.
00:47:39.660 But I think that's everywhere.
00:47:41.540 There's what we might call an inventory problem.
00:47:44.080 And so you're starting to see prices go down, at least normalized as something that makes sense.
00:47:50.680 But I think that there's a lot of boomers that are panicking right now, as they probably should.
00:47:56.300 And I was setting that up.
00:47:58.780 That's just ripped from the headlines.
00:48:00.780 That's something people are talking about.
00:48:02.320 And then I came across this piece, a sub stack from menandthecity.substack.com.
00:48:11.200 What is this, real secret coffee hours?
00:48:13.660 But a lot of the friends that I have who are into finance, these guys love sharing sub stacks and articles.
00:48:20.500 no one shares more articles than finance guys or people on the margins of finance i had this
00:48:27.880 one for a little bit this is back from december of last year but i'm looking at one it's a part
00:48:34.120 three of the series but it's called global margin call part three sell everything the subtitle here
00:48:41.640 is ai bubbles capital controls crowded exits and gatsby parties before the financial end game and
00:48:48.980 I'm not going to read the whole thing, but this builds on what we were just talking about.
00:48:53.240 And I think you're going to find this interesting, if you haven't read it already.
00:48:56.400 But you read a lot of this.
00:48:58.080 I think you read, on average, more of this type of thing than I do.
00:49:01.960 Yeah, I read a lot of finance stuff.
00:49:04.560 Yeah, so let's read for people here.
00:49:06.620 It says, you're opted in, but can you opt out?
00:49:09.800 The financial world transformed in 2006 in ways most do not appreciate.
00:49:14.320 The Pension Protection Act of 2006.
00:49:16.900 And this is localized to America.
00:49:18.980 right now but i think you can compare a lot to what's happening in canada the pension protection
00:49:24.900 act of 2006 created the modern 401k the preferred employer retirement investment vehicle essentially
00:49:32.020 american employees strike a bargain with three parties the employer the government and the
00:49:35.380 investment funds the act was designed to protect employees from predatory employers who failed to
00:49:40.260 pay contributions or arbitrarily cut pensions prior to 2006 it was incumbent on employees to
00:49:46.740 opt in via selection of a mutual fund which would invest the proceeds for you so you know for people
00:49:53.060 don't know 401k is a lot like an rsp in canada you just contributed every month it goes towards
00:49:58.340 your retirement but all it is is a giant investment fund um it's usually something like an index fund
00:50:05.460 it's very safe but it grows regularly and by the time you retire retire you get a nice chunk of
00:50:11.060 change if you can get something like rsp or 401k matching you can you can get quite a bit of money
00:50:16.980 if you're aggressive about it though some people do some people don't but uh post 2006 401k
00:50:24.100 contributions were automatically dispersed in the market so this fun it was basically you had to opt
00:50:30.340 into this originally but now you have to opt out it's automatic so whatever wherever you were working
00:50:36.340 most people had money just going right into a 401k and what is a 401k well it goes to the market so
00:50:44.240 all that money is flowing directly just into the stock market automatically which it wasn't doing
00:50:49.800 at that level previously what harm could come from shepherding people en masse into compounding
00:50:57.000 retirement accounts that would otherwise never voluntarily commit to themselves he asks
00:51:01.180 In a recent interview, Mike Green, the chief strategist of Simply Asset Management, called out the dangers of passive income.
00:51:09.580 Since 2006, he said it radically increased participation and so-called target date funds.
00:51:16.960 Needless to say, opt-out 401ks are industry standard.
00:51:20.840 So two-thirds of employees have them and 90% use a default TDF that never changes.
00:51:26.200 Thus was born what they call passive flows, making automated retirement accounts one of the largest investment tranches in the market from 4% in 1993 to 53% today. 0.97
00:51:38.180 That's fucking insane. 0.97
00:51:39.480 That's wild. 0.99
00:51:40.500 Millions of Americans have made a lot of money in the market over the last couple of decades, to which that's the claim.
00:51:45.700 And Green responded, I think that's the optimistic take.
00:51:48.320 Now, the question is, can they actually get the money out?
00:51:52.600 Now we're seeing how this connects to the previous thing.
00:51:54.780 He says, passive flows, passive income flows have distorted financial markets in unprecedented ways, according to Mike Green.
00:52:02.940 There's no mean reversion in markets anymore.
00:52:05.280 A fancy way of saying prices are completely divorced from economic reality.
00:52:09.500 Instead, stocks have become Ponzi like an investment vehicle where in passive flows dictate marginal buying or selling independent of the real value.
00:52:18.820 Unfortunately, what is missing in this equation is the fundamental purpose of markets.
00:52:22.360 he's and he goes here and i like this part he says i began this multi-part series with a simple
00:52:29.260 claim the financial end game or the end of cycle event is a mass mass exodus out of the dollar
00:52:36.760 based system he says my sense is the stock market today is not a bubble nor is the financial system
00:52:43.640 primed to blow because of hidden or systemic counterparty risk rather my assertion is that
00:52:49.100 the financial system itself is the counterparty risk financialization is a virus spread internally
00:52:55.000 via collateralization and externally via dollarization until it kills the patient
00:53:00.260 meaning the nation or society or burns itself out in the form of a financial crisis causing
00:53:06.220 spectacular collateral damage either way however the sickly patient society is gradually awakening
00:53:14.100 to the cure which is definancialization or a detox via mass exit or what i what he calls
00:53:22.020 a global margin call um so so far what do you think about that does this love it no notes this
00:53:29.340 is a favorite of mine now he continues on here i'm just skipping ahead and going to the parts
00:53:35.860 that i think are important he says real economy demands hard work short-term sacrifice long-term
00:53:40.900 thinking experience competency luck and above all risk risk is the hobgoblin of financial elites and
00:53:48.040 cantillionaires i don't know what that is oh this is reference to this guy richard cantillion
00:53:53.500 whatever a far easier albeit corrosive way to make money is by issuing excessive debt to risk
00:53:59.900 taking businesses and weaponizing that debt against them via bankruptcy um so this is sort
00:54:06.700 like personal private equity the idea that you would move into a failing business kind of strip
00:54:12.420 it for parts fire all the people and i think this is what mint romney was famous for if you remember
00:54:17.900 yeah yeah so these were just pirates stripping companies away and he makes a claim here that
00:54:25.740 the pirate equity is a kind of financial terrorism that devours vulnerable companies swallows whole
00:54:31.700 entire industries and destroys the livelihoods of communities he says it works like this load up a
00:54:37.540 failing company with debt restructure core departments and fire lots of people all to
00:54:42.420 temporarily inflate corporate profitability rinse wash repeat and pe private equity has skyrocketed
00:54:49.620 in size much like subprime mortgages before 2008 according to dillion the pe industry is around
00:54:56.660 four trillion dollars and the growth of assets under management he says here okay here indeed
00:55:02.980 the the private equity employs nearly 12 million people it's just this massive thing that's just 0.95
00:55:10.660 like cannibalizing the entire fucking economy like what is this what is what is this thing um
00:55:20.500 he goes on for a while about crypto and tech bros and a lot of very interesting stuff that we can't 0.98
00:55:25.860 get to right now so i can't recommend this enough but i'm skipping ahead to the end here in the
00:55:31.780 section called everyone in the middle is being cannibalized um he says virtually every bull run
00:55:38.420 spurned by game-changing tech or can't lose markets succumbs to manic speculation but that
00:55:43.540 usually leads to reform rather than revolution just because there are fragilities in repo japan
00:55:48.900 shadow banks treasury actions or ai glut does not mean there is a big crisis on the horizon nor does
00:55:54.500 it mean stressed corners will cause a contagion further monetary authorities seem better prepared
00:56:01.460 this time so for people who are expecting the exact same type of financial crash or a total
00:56:09.220 collapse scenario that's not what it's going to look like and continuing on here he says
00:56:16.980 i like this part by most metrics the boomers are still dancing but the generational rift
00:56:22.180 between millennials and boomers is a false frame compared to their offspring the boomers have a
00:56:26.820 choke hold on wealth while men in the city realize most of us will never have the things the parents 0.55
00:56:31.300 had their promised pensions however the boot the realities the boomers have been swindled too 0.85
00:56:36.740 their promised pensions are worthless dividend checks are dwindling and the cozy family house 0.71
00:56:42.340 that anchors the family network is about to crash into a generational abyss of no demand 1.00
00:56:48.340 and bad credit very soon baby boomers will swell the ranks of the pissed off men half their age 0.99
00:56:54.820 why two words passive flows the global margin call will transform passive inflows into active 0.91
00:57:02.020 outflows the ever narrowing structure of markets the mass concentration and the magnificent seven
00:57:07.780 and the spiraling dependency on the ai hoax and the guarantee that no matter what the fed will
00:57:13.220 save us our illusions dying a thousand deaths the donald won't save america either because he's part
00:57:19.060 of the grift boomers are living in hotel california they're vested in a system that keeps them vested
00:57:24.180 and cannot allow them to divest the credo is the problem perversely such a credo is purely faith
00:57:30.260 based and it's it's its own undoing so long story short he's saying that you know think in more
00:57:37.620 detail than i've seen others explain it exactly where the the entire market is failing now when
00:57:44.420 he says definancialization or exiting the cycle i he doesn't cover that here i don't know exactly
00:57:51.620 what that looks like but he does end the piece by saying what's the line here uh welcome to the end
00:57:59.220 of the cycle stay liquid stay alert so maybe stay liquid you know what does that mean to you
00:58:05.060 return to the material economy i guess like um things that you can take direct custody of gold
00:58:11.640 or silver or bitcoin or i mean invest in a property that isn't a speculative property but
00:58:16.640 something that's functional like don't don't don't own properties that you're just sitting on
00:58:20.840 for the dividend right you own something that you're going to live in own something that
00:58:25.440 produces something which is such a paradigm shift in how like if i had to sort of encapsulate where
00:58:33.360 think so many people go wrong and i've been guilty of this as well especially when i was younger
00:58:38.640 people talk about smart money versus dumb money they talk about work smarter not harder or there's
00:58:43.920 this pervasive belief that you don't leave money on the table right especially like crypto is an
00:58:51.600 example like no one understands crypto no one understands bitcoin or or um any of this stuff
00:58:57.600 but they think that what people are making money i need to make money i don't care 0.99
00:59:01.040 why or how or what it means i just don't want to be seen as a sucker right you're a sucker if 0.58
00:59:07.840 you're not making as much money as possible in speculation and this is why so many people got 1.00
00:59:12.700 into real estate speculation just because it seemed easy it's easy and you're dumb if you 0.99
00:59:16.460 don't do it you don't be dumb do you you don't want to leave money on the table some people just 0.92
00:59:19.980 do it but you would need to reintroduce so many people to this idea of it's not just easy money 0.94
00:59:29.020 easy money isn't the smart money right it's like you know don't lionize the gambler too much and
00:59:36.480 we're in a culture where we do that like the guy which is a very you know eastern very global south
00:59:42.060 way of doing it like the smartest person cheats the system the smartest the smartest person takes 0.95
00:59:46.860 the money and runs so you need to get down to the fucking bedrock of this civilization and say no
00:59:53.160 the smart money is building something of substance that has long-term value you know i mean which 0.96
01:00:00.840 so many people would disagree with that so yeah but you know speculation it's smart it's fast
01:00:05.340 you know i know i know guys who talk fast like this you know they've got like you got this love
01:00:10.960 of like the type of guy that does this yeah you know he wears a nice suit he talks fast he's like
01:00:15.800 jesse eisenberg this is what jesse eisenberg would do going after the fast monies which is a counter
01:00:21.220 to so much of investment too so much investment wisdom which is move fast and break things and
01:00:28.240 you know let a thousand insane flowers bloom and shit like that like just keep doing things faster
01:00:33.820 faster now now now but it's like we were talking about just before we went live about ai
01:00:38.160 we've been pretty skeptical in ai this entire time we're trying to be balanced in anyway but
01:00:44.940 you what what are you reading about ai what's what's the feeling well i was just saying like
01:00:49.960 I read a lot of startup newsletters, like just keeping track of what companies are getting funded and which are going under and which VCs are issuing how much money for what sectors.
01:01:02.460 AI is not doing well.
01:01:04.340 I don't want to overstate it here, but AI is not doing well.
01:01:08.040 Everybody has got cold feet.
01:01:09.340 And it's not just because of AI.
01:01:10.500 It's also because of the general economic environment.
01:01:12.460 but um at least in canada and in europe but also in the states if you if your whole pitch is just
01:01:18.920 hey we have this except that it's ai don't you're you've missed the boat by two and a half years
01:01:25.460 yeah and uh i remember many years ago i read this book that was recommended to me it's called the
01:01:33.040 millionaire investor and uh it's very simple book the guy said you can be a millionaire when you're
01:01:38.260 pretty young as long as just max out your payments into index funds and for people who don't know
01:01:44.200 what what's an index fund that's not even stupid i mean it's like the s&p 500 right an index fund
01:01:49.800 just holds a bit of every single right and and that's fine because the s&p generally does perform
01:01:56.280 like that's not even bad advice you're not going to get you're not going to be a millionaire but
01:01:59.480 it's decent advice basically what a 401k is it spreads your money across so many businesses that
01:02:05.140 as long as the economy itself over the course of 20 years you're betting on the economy yeah
01:02:12.900 so that that was always a safe bet because how could it possibly come to pass that the entire
01:02:19.080 economy on a long enough timeline just feels yes there could even be huge downturns but it
01:02:24.160 eventually corrects and keeps going up and so it is the safe but then there's people like me
01:02:29.260 who are just thinking can it just go up forever can it can it just have indefinite growth or
01:02:38.260 just something got to give at some point and i don't even know what that means i guess but it
01:02:44.320 the conventional wisdom that if you just invest in the american economy you can never lose i'm
01:02:49.960 like but then you're getting into geopolitics and you're getting the stuff like this we're
01:02:53.780 talking about now now it won't be a total collapse i guess but i don't know it just
01:02:57.920 it doesn't seem realistic that given how leveraged we are in so many batteries like this
01:03:05.000 the only difference between this and the housing crisis is it seems that we've gotten better 0.96
01:03:11.280 hiding it and we're just hoping that the boomers die before they what you're hoping is that people 0.81
01:03:17.680 die before they try and get their money out of the system and it turns out if too many people 0.96
01:03:22.220 try and actually get the money that's theirs out of the system they don't let you i'm just so
01:03:26.280 shocked because everybody knows that this is how it works like and i don't i've heard this
01:03:30.560 explained before and i'm not sure why it isn't obvious but like if you go to the grocery store
01:03:35.520 and you buy a tomato you're buying a tomato the grocery store is selling a tomato stocks bonds
01:03:41.060 etfs are no different your reit is no different when you sell you buy in right they're selling 0.92
01:03:48.020 it to you when you try to sell it back somebody else has to fucking buy it you have to have two
01:03:53.520 voluntary willing parties right and you have a contract and in this REITs are we already said 0.86
01:03:59.500 they're hilarious because they have right in the contract the circumstances under which you may
01:04:03.440 sell it or or get your money back but like generally speaking there's always a winner
01:04:08.220 and a loser if you think you're gonna quote-unquote win because well when it gets bad I'm gonna sell 1.00
01:04:11.880 good luck finding a fucking buyer when it gets bad if it's so bad that everybody every idiot like 1.00
01:04:17.300 you because you're a fucking idiot can see that it's bad nobody's buying that's the housing market 1.00
01:04:22.700 right now right we have we have real estate agents right now who won't even list you call them to 1.00
01:04:28.240 list your house they laugh at you and hang up the phone they don't want to list your fucking house 1.00
01:04:31.200 they call you a fucking faggot because because nobody's buying why would i spend time listing 1.00
01:04:35.240 your house when there are no buyers yeah like it's it's so ridiculous my house is worth x no 1.00
01:04:40.920 the way a market works is there are buyers and sellers if there are no if there are no buyers
01:04:45.620 then there are no sellers you have to have both yeah and it's funny when you have kids you need
01:04:51.700 explain ideas and my kids obviously aren't old enough for this but eventually you gotta explain
01:04:55.940 ideas like this as if they were 10 as if they were seven and so explain this situation where
01:05:01.220 okay i put my money in a bank that's that's your money isn't it yes my money but here's the thing
01:05:07.440 they took my money and they lent it to someone else and i want my money back but i can't have it
01:05:13.960 so then it's like okay there's there's an amount of money there's capital right here and two people
01:05:20.020 want it so whose is it whose is it is answered by who's allowed to have it yeah so these other
01:05:27.280 people are allowed to have my money i'm not allowed to have it even though they're telling
01:05:33.340 me that it's mine yeah i can't do anything with it and so it re explain this to a kid and saying
01:05:40.240 well it's it's a different type of ownership where on a piece of paper it says it's mine but i just
01:05:44.520 don't get to have it you want to do it and maybe by tomorrow it's not there anymore you want a
01:05:48.940 direct analogy boomer buys an rv and year one they really enjoy it and year two they really
01:05:54.620 enjoy it and year three they take their kids on a road trip and it's the best year ever year four
01:05:59.120 the thing breaks and they call the dealership and say i want my money back i'm not enjoying 0.99
01:06:03.820 this anymore i want my money back and they say are you fucking retarded you're not getting your 0.99
01:06:09.900 money back wait am i the boomer am i the retarded no no i'm saying anybody anybody who bought into 1.00
01:06:14.940 these thinking that when when things finally go south they're getting their money back out is 0.79
01:06:18.700 just laughably you gave your money to the economy and the economy has decided that it's more
01:06:25.980 important that the economy has your money that was all outflows or inflows that's like you know
01:06:30.060 the passive flow of money into the economy the economy is now dependent on that yeah there are
01:06:35.560 all those 401ks through all that it was just free money it's just inflating it and they took it they
01:06:40.860 took it from you promising you that you get it back later for your retirement but maybe not
01:06:47.460 that's the boomers are learning are those checks getting smaller what are you gonna do
01:06:52.480 it's like ice you got ice coming at you it's like what are you gonna do do your money you're 1.00
01:06:57.920 gonna rob a bank then i get to shoot you boomer fucking old man in one of your two types of polo 1.00

01:14:40.040 did not perform i'll tell you what my wife had never seen star wars her entire last i we started
01:14:47.640 watching it the other day just because she gets all the cultural references of course but she's
01:14:52.760 never seen it i said that might be fun i've never like i saw when i was really young what's it like
01:14:58.520 to watch it as an adult i'll tell you it's pretty boring for the first like yeah 45 minutes you
01:15:05.480 mean like the original ones yeah like the original like a new hope i've watched them i mean i think
01:15:10.520 last time i watched them was a few years ago i tried to watch it with my kids and it's like
01:15:14.280 they're not they're not atrocious but they're not like really good movies it's kind of a nostalgia
01:15:18.200 thing the new ones are unwatchable yeah i think it's like it's not a on the first star wars doesn't
01:15:24.360 have a lot of action in it for the first 45 minutes oh yeah it's like it's a lot of setup
01:15:29.560 it's a lot like meeting ben kenobi and shit and like i'm doing the commentary for my wife i'm
01:15:35.240 like this is why this is cool like i'm trying to explain like no this is actually really you have 0.95
01:15:39.720 to think about when this came out you gotta think like didn't see like he was up against flash
01:15:43.880 cordon and shit which is a different thing like this so but like i'm i won't shut up but i need 0.89
01:15:48.600 to do that because on its face i can tell she is not interested in this she's like oh what are those 0.99
01:15:55.320 little people like oh they're jawas oh are they important no like not really what are the elves 1.00
01:16:01.800 munchkins fucking fucking cares fuck this c-3po and r2d2 are stupid honestly they take up a lot 1.00
01:16:10.280 of the first part of that movie just banter like shut up on i gotta say the whole thing we're like 1.00
01:16:17.480 r2 beeps and 3po responds with some like witticism is used so many times so much it's essentially
01:16:26.520 all they do there's no actual dialogue or more reason to have either one of them there they're 0.93
01:16:32.200 just like from day one from the very first film so stupid yeah so i we didn't finish it we stopped 0.97
01:16:39.480 and then we started watching the new fallout there you go are you watching this i re-watched 0.94
01:16:47.080 the first season with my wife so that we can watch the second one and i don't hate it by the way i
01:16:53.960 didn't hate the first season you know what it started off strong and i think we might have
01:16:58.120 talked about this when it first aired i thought it started off really really strong yeah and then
01:17:03.160 gradually got worse until like the final episode was terrible i had look i i have my own uh my own
01:17:10.200 headcanon interpretation for the final episode so that i can stomach it but the problem with the
01:17:15.560 last episode i'm seeing in the first episode of this season which i just watched um it's too many
01:17:23.160 characters and it's when you start watching it because it's fresh in your mind i kind of i didn't
01:17:29.080 remember i think we're gonna watch the first few of them maybe next week we have i have downloaded
01:17:33.160 it yeah it's edited really strangely because in the first you know you're watching the first season
01:17:39.480 and it may you you got your main character and her circle of characters you're kind of following them
01:17:44.440 this it throws you into it and it's all these different characters and then it's also going
01:17:49.400 back and forth in time now because remember walton goggins his character the ghoul character
01:17:54.680 like you didn't see the flashback scene with him until the very end they're just cutting between
01:17:59.720 like the ghoul and him back and forth and back and forth and then wait between different vaults and
01:18:04.280 but they did no the first season they did flash we just i just finished watching this re-watching
01:18:09.480 the first season like three days ago they cut back and forth with goggins like almost every episode
01:18:14.440 to some extent yeah yeah like there's one episode in the middle like episode four when he's in the
01:18:18.740 hospital in the like the the limb hospital or whatever where like most of the episode is is
01:18:24.260 that's what i i remember like one big episode that explained a lot of it there was one big
01:18:29.020 episode but there's a bunch of flashbacks with with him that's what i don't like i think there's
01:18:33.240 it's too disjointed like if you watch the first episode just do me this kindness i will and just
01:18:39.960 tell me if it's actually hard to follow it's kind of weird the way it's put together and it doesn't
01:18:46.120 seem very coherent all right um but you're watching like hey there's novak hey like this
01:18:53.020 means nothing to my wife she hasn't played the game but me i'm like hey there's that here's the
01:18:57.360 place for that game that i like but then i remember like where were they in the first follow
01:19:02.140 they're in like outside of california or something right you mean the first fallout one no no um no
01:19:08.700 in the first season like where's it set hollywood hollywood right how far is vegas from hollywood
01:19:14.780 it's far because it looked like her dad just ran there i mean he's got he's got a power no but it
01:19:22.140 seemed like he got they were there in the same skyscraper and then the next scene it's him
01:19:27.260 running up to vegas i'm like would it have been like i did again like i i give them a lot of
01:19:32.780 leeway i'm just like oh this is seven days later i'm straight running also in that scene
01:19:38.460 again I just I just just watch it when he arrives in that scene his face is severely like desiccated
01:19:43.660 and sunburned so like there's a slight implication that like he's been walking for days okay good
01:19:49.040 but it almost makes it like there's nothing between there and Vegas like it almost like 0.92
01:19:53.840 maybe you should have done New Vegas in season three there's a lot of weird shit like that like 0.96
01:19:57.000 why is this the town called Philly yeah like it's not fucking Philly you're in Hollywood it's 0.97
01:20:02.040 literally like a drive-in movie theater in Hollywood so I don't know maybe there's a joke 0.99
01:20:06.540 there i don't get little shit like that little shit anyway we need to uh i was gonna cover this 0.98
01:20:13.760 article i don't think i have the time for it but the title was uh good intentions gone bad 0.99
01:20:21.320 this is published in the atlantic how canada's reconciliation with indigenous people went wrong
01:20:27.400 there's a subtitle here this was published just end of last year end of 2025 um you know attend
01:20:34.580 a public event in Canada and you will likely hear
01:20:36.640 it open with a land acknowledgement. In the city
01:20:38.580 of Vancouver, for example, the script
01:20:40.520 might read, this place is in the unceded
01:20:42.980 ancestral territory of the 0.98
01:20:44.620 what the fuck does that say? 0.99
01:20:46.980 You see this? 0.99
01:20:49.060 The made a hand
01:20:49.800 Yeah, no, I'm not, no.
01:20:53.220 The excuse, like
01:20:54.120 they just put numbers in the middle of the 0.99
01:20:56.620 words that this is to fuck with us, right? 0.99
01:20:58.300 Yep. So this person 0.99
01:21:00.760 the writer talking about
01:21:02.580 land acknowledgements
01:21:03.900 and they're talking what they're doing now is saying that the reconciliation between the
01:21:11.100 colonists and the indigenous has been a valiant attempt but it's gone wrong right how do we know 0.99
01:21:17.640 it's gone wrong because the indians just aren't happy still that's it right we're getting success 1.00
01:21:27.140 based on their satisfaction because they've never shut up we've got land acknowledgments we've got 1.00
01:21:33.460 spigots of capital
01:21:35.520 that are opened up over them. We've got
01:21:37.120 apologies.
01:21:38.000 They've got their reserves. They've got their
01:21:41.180 sovereign territory. Name a thing that they
01:21:43.340 want that they haven't got.
01:21:45.980 They've got their weight to throw
01:21:47.400 around politically. If anyone wants to do
01:21:49.340 anything on their land, tell me what they
01:21:51.000 don't have.
01:21:53.480 I'm just going to start with that
01:21:55.100 and lead into the book
01:21:57.240 which is
01:21:58.160 A History of Canada in Ten
01:22:01.200 Maps. Epic Stories
01:22:02.840 of charting a mysterious land this is by adam schultz this is released in 2017 it's a pretty
01:22:09.500 recent book i wanted to cover this last time didn't get the chance uh i liked the premise
01:22:15.520 of this book which was looking at noteworthy maps throughout canadian history um because
01:22:23.300 there's only been a few instances where a handful of explorers charted most of the known region
01:22:28.840 like lewis and clark in america um it was a few key adventurers that drew in the borders of these
01:22:35.880 maps and found the main riverways and things of that nature and uh you can tell a lot about
01:22:42.840 people from the types of maps that they make and i thought it illuminated so much about canadian
01:22:49.400 history how the country was founded um and most importantly and i discovered this as i was reading
01:22:56.200 at the relationships between the colonists and the aboriginal people the various tribes
01:23:02.800 and the tribal dynamics at play and more firsthand stories about what it was like
01:23:09.940 dealing with them we covered this a bit last time the last book which was written in 1919
01:23:14.000 which had some scientific errors that were proven with genetic testing but still
01:23:20.660 culturally, anthropologically
01:23:23.100 much of it was correct
01:23:24.880 and
01:23:26.200 it wasn't
01:23:27.700 I don't even think he could be
01:23:29.520 dismissed as racist
01:23:31.800 you know, when you say the word
01:23:34.420 savage, okay
01:23:36.180 that might sound harsh to modern ears
01:23:38.480 what else would you call cannibals?
01:23:41.700 were all aboriginals cannibals?
01:23:42.920 no, but there were some
01:23:44.840 and as we will see
01:23:46.760 by the way, can you hear me still?
01:23:49.360 yeah, I got you
01:23:49.940 Sorry, I got a notice here that my mic was fucking up.
01:23:54.160 I'll just jump into it.
01:23:55.540 Sure.
01:23:55.800 Because, so it says,
01:23:57.160 this is not the PG-13 version of Canada's past taught in schools.
01:24:01.500 Canada's history was nothing if not bloody.
01:24:03.620 For the better part of 100 years, 1.00
01:24:05.580 the French and their Aboriginal allies, 0.99
01:24:07.720 especially the Wendat,
01:24:09.820 warred with the powerful Iroquois Confederacy of Five Nations.
01:24:14.200 And that war had roots in conflicts that dated back
01:24:16.540 even before the French settlements.
01:24:18.280 Quebec City has been attacked and laid siege numerous times, the bloodiest of which left much of the city in ruins.
01:24:25.540 Montreal was nearly wiped out by an Iroquois attack in 1660.
01:24:30.000 The city was later fought over by British and French armies and endured occupation by an American force in the Revolutionary War.
01:24:38.080 nearly every town in southern quebec which was the heart of old canada was a scene of some
01:24:43.480 violent raid or skirmish between english colonists and canadian settlers or iroquois warriors
01:24:49.500 newfoundland's english settlements were laid waste in a brutal campaign between 1696 and 1697
01:24:56.400 by the canadian pirate adventurer pierre lemoine and his canadian troops rival fur empires clashed
01:25:04.400 in the northwest with wholesale slaughter at places like seven oaks the french and the british
01:25:09.520 battle on the seas the hudson and james bays um the inuit fought repeatedly with their dene
01:25:17.040 and cree rivals who were also at war with each other and the great plains warfare between the
01:25:22.000 sioux blackfoot plains cree and other first nations rage for centuries so just in that
01:25:28.480 opening little salvo there he's saying everyone was at war all the time and when i was on an
01:25:34.640 episode recently with fortisax what show were we on the the was it the christmas uh thing
01:25:42.560 with it wasn't the millennial thing we did one with clausington that's what it was uh on the
01:25:50.640 nautical chronicles that's where it was it was just me and him we're talking about canadian
01:25:53.680 history as well and uh it was the war of 1812 and we had that episode on this show a few episodes
01:26:00.420 ago but one thing we talked about was the war of 1812 people imagined the canadians or the british
01:26:05.880 versus the americans but the way to view it was it was just one of like 12 different conflicts at
01:26:13.940 the time like yes uh america was at war with the british but the british were at war with the 0.64
01:26:18.280 french and the spanish were there too and then that is all occurring while all these aboriginal
01:26:23.040 tribes are at war with each other and forming allegiances at varying points with varying 0.99
01:26:27.900 colonists and then there's fucking tribes from america coming up into canada like it's a mess 0.99
01:26:33.700 but it's so much fucking conflict all the time and uh you hear about a bit about in school but 0.99
01:26:40.280 i think more kids would pay attention if they knew just how bloody and insane oh absolutely yeah 0.97
01:26:45.620 it's like european universalis or something yeah um he goes on here says if you were to
01:26:52.400 starts by going way, way back
01:26:54.620 in the past. He says, if you were to visit Denmark's
01:26:56.600 royal library, you might find stashed away
01:26:58.800 in a temperature-controlled room
01:27:00.660 a curious map known as
01:27:02.740 the Skadelholt map.
01:27:04.620 It was drawn by an Icelandic scholar named
01:27:06.520 Sigurd Stefansson in 1590
01:27:08.640 based on knowledge passed down from a much
01:27:10.600 earlier Viking voyage to the New
01:27:12.640 World. The original map's been lost
01:27:14.640 but a 1669 copy sits
01:27:16.620 in the Denmark's archives. This ancient
01:27:18.800 Icelandic map reveals two incredible
01:27:20.880 exploration stories separated by
01:27:23.300 nearly a millennium. The Viking
01:27:25.360 voyages to North America 500
01:27:27.240 years before Columbus, and the
01:27:29.240 modern discovery of Vinland by
01:27:31.200 the remarkable husband-wife duo
01:27:33.140 Helga and Ann Stein
01:27:35.140 Ingstad.
01:27:37.800 The husband and wife
01:27:39.160 combo. Even back then, they had wives. 0.97
01:27:41.860 Isn't that wild?
01:27:43.040 That's wild!
01:27:45.500 It's funny. The natives were eager
01:27:47.320 to trade with these strange visitors
01:27:49.300 from beyond the waves especially their weapons and tools which are made of smelted iron a material
01:27:54.620 entirely unknown to them which even back then like the aboriginal tribes were amazed by like 1.00
01:27:59.960 these vikings who were not the most advanced people at the time it's funny that they encountered 0.98
01:28:05.180 them saw the metal and like damn that is cool and then the vikings leave they're like yeah whatever 0.84
01:28:09.980 and then a thousand years later we come back they're like whoa it's that metal stuff again
01:28:13.880 like this is it how long did you have like the the threat the common thread through this entire
01:28:20.040 story and i touched on this last time is that my reading of this and this isn't a far right treatise
01:28:27.160 this is this is a liberal book this is a mainstream liberal book and they even cannot avoid telling
01:28:32.920 showing how eager the aboriginals were to do trade with these people and they loved when we set up
01:28:40.360 forts they love when we set trading posts they were so willing to trade furs for tools they loved 0.97
01:28:47.720 doing that um and like intermarrying and shit like that and then it was so common that we would have
01:28:54.120 these sort of beneficial relationships with them so some people say well it was different in america
01:29:00.520 not really not i mean not really if you're looking at it like there was tribes you allied with but
01:29:07.000 but how are you going to ally with the Comanche? 0.92
01:29:10.660 How the fuck are you going to ally with the people 0.99
01:29:12.440 that their only existence is war? 0.99
01:29:15.460 Like, that's all they do.
01:29:16.520 It's like, what do you do with them?
01:29:18.500 Go home? Fuck that. 1.00
01:29:20.480 But the Norse remained suspicious of the natives 1.00
01:29:22.940 who must have outnumbered them,
01:29:24.400 and Carl Sefti were cautious that Thorvald had been
01:29:29.780 ordered that a palisade be erected around the settlement.
01:29:32.540 um the saga's description of hellaland a bleak place of mountains glaciers and large flat
01:29:39.200 stones also matches southern baffin island's landscape immediately because the whole time
01:29:44.400 they knew that there were stories of the vikings landing in north america but they never knew
01:29:48.920 exactly where people would speculate on where they must have landed um immediately south of
01:29:55.200 hellaland is a body of water that disappears to be the hudson strait which separates baffin island
01:29:59.320 from arctic quebec and labrador next on the map the map in question appears markland the land of
01:30:05.860 forests the saga's depiction of markland as a heavily wooded country suggests a match with
01:30:10.800 dense forest in southern labrador so he's just trying to actually just point out where it was
01:30:16.240 likely that they landed and i think there was maybe a few other viking expeditions at various
01:30:21.060 points but we're talking most likely the maritimes so i just jumping ahead we get to
01:30:28.920 jacques cartier um and it profiles a few key explorers in this book uh champlain was another
01:30:36.640 mackenzie would be another i'm not going to cover all of them some of them i cut out just because
01:30:41.620 for the purposes of this episode i didn't find them terribly interesting i'm going to keep it
01:30:46.780 to the juiciest ones so it says cartier his head filled with dreams of spices and silk and jewels
01:30:54.400 wasn't impressed with what the natives had to trade when he arrived on his expedition which
01:30:59.700 was just tanned animal skins as he wrote in his journal they offered us everything they owned 0.99
01:31:04.320 which was all told a little value i will say jacques cartier is profiled as more of an asshole 0.95
01:31:11.240 than the others and i don't know if that's taking some editorial liberties but i just found it 0.85
01:31:16.180 interesting but it's undeniable uh some of the things that he did continuing on here uh he said
01:31:22.020 this people may well be called savage for they are the sorriest folk there can be in the world
01:31:28.340 and the whole lot of them had not anything above the value of five sous their canoes and fishing 0.97
01:31:34.220 nets accepted nonetheless cartier offered the natives iron knives axes and european clothing
01:31:39.460 in the hopes that good relations might lead them to help him find the route to the east that he
01:31:45.340 was seeking cartier after all had not risked his life on a voyage across the ocean just to trade
01:31:50.240 for things he could already find in europe which is funny because everyone's like they came here 0.97
01:31:54.440 because they needed their furs they had fucking furs in europe yeah you think we don't have furs 0.89
01:31:59.860 he he was after the rare spices silks rubies and other gems that came only from india and china 0.98
01:32:07.140 meanwhile of the nine aboriginal people cartier had kidnapped and taken back to france with him
01:32:13.400 eight had died including donna cona because before he left home because remember these adventures
01:32:19.840 they do these back and forth trips like they come and go home and go so one time he just took nine
01:32:24.880 of them and said and brought them back just to show he opens up the box when he gets back to 1.00
01:32:30.280 paris ah shit they're dead ah shit water damage the only survivor a young girl was left in france 0.99
01:32:38.020 when the expedition sailed for canada in the spring of 1542 when cartier and his ships eventually 1.00
01:32:42.740 arrived back in Staticona.
01:32:44.540 He found that with good reason. The natives no longer 1.00
01:32:46.840 trusted him.
01:32:49.000 So imagine like stealing
01:32:50.740 them away and then not bringing 0.99
01:32:52.720 them back and being like, what the fuck? 0.99
01:32:55.460 Thought we were cool. 0.99
01:32:57.240 Cartier admitted that Donacona had
01:32:58.780 died in France, but he lied about the
01:33:00.820 fate of the others, claiming they had remained in
01:33:02.720 France where they were living as great lords.
01:33:04.900 They had married and had no desire to
01:33:06.720 return to their country. Cartier and his
01:33:08.640 colonists weren't welcome at Staticona,
01:33:11.020 but they settled nearby anyway
01:33:12.600 on the banks of the river in a fourth day erected with the leaves on the trees turning the first
01:33:17.000 chilling frosts settling over the land there's still no sign of roberval and his reinforcements
01:33:22.520 and provisions cartier his followers would have to make through the long winter without them um
01:33:28.920 here's this part so the harsh bitterly cold winter however again decimated the colonists
01:33:33.960 and by spring cartier had given up any hope of finding china or surviving long term in canada
01:33:39.640 he ordered the ships refitted and planned to sail back to france but not before filling the
01:33:44.280 holes with what he believed were gold and diamonds in reality fool's gold and ordinary quartz crystals 0.99
01:33:53.640 okay so he's a bit of a clown he's been here's the thing like fool's gold 0.97
01:33:58.920 it's still goldish yeah yeah i mean if you if you don't have any comparison like you didn't 0.97
01:34:03.800 have any other gold on him to compare it to him showing up back friends like it's not rocks
01:34:07.640 it's still good no one's gonna go it's rocks it is it's just rocks and he starts getting 0.67
01:34:14.240 fucking existential it's all it's all rocks man everything's rocks you're rocks i'm rocks 0.99
01:34:19.600 this fucking this fucking france thing is fucking rocks i love they say he filled up the hole 0.99
01:34:25.220 like it slowed down the voyage and it was so much work it's weighted down so much like 1.00
01:34:30.700 they're on the verge of saying like he's at the water's edge
01:34:33.200 there's nothing funnier than being taken in by fool's gold like it's so like you guys could
01:34:41.100 have named it anything else a classic you could have named it you know twinkling iron side something 1.00
01:34:46.820 like that this is a retard gold this is the gold that idiots like it's gold for idiots yeah 1.00
01:34:53.640 it's a retard silver it's something like if you have it you're dumb that's what it says 1.00
01:34:59.680 if you're anywhere near your dumbest shit 1.00
01:35:02.240 so it says here 1.00
01:35:04.360 Cartier's significance lies not in his
01:35:06.300 failed colony but in the new geographic
01:35:08.400 knowledge his voyage is generated
01:35:10.280 for the first time they allowed world maps
01:35:12.400 to be made that show not only the
01:35:14.200 old world continents of Europe, Africa
01:35:16.440 and Asia but much of northeastern
01:35:18.540 North America as well
01:35:19.640 Cartier had literally put Canada on the map
01:35:22.740 he had increased not only European
01:35:24.400 geographic knowledge
01:35:25.520 but in transporting
01:35:28.160 equine people to france aboriginal geographic knowledge so not for nothing but that's that's
01:35:34.560 most of what the cartoon but he also informed inspired all the subsequent adventures as well
01:35:41.200 and all the subsequent explorers because you know this was just this unknown area now here's a place
01:35:46.640 that can be discovered and we need to figure it out and that drew people towards it so he says
01:35:54.400 inside the palisade walls of the little wilderness fortress a severed head impaled on a pike
01:35:59.480 stood as a grim warning it had been put there by samuel de la champlain
01:36:04.120 samuel samuel de champlain perhaps the finest map maker in canadian history the head had
01:36:10.760 belonged to a man who'd plotted to overthrow champlain who had now served as a grisly proof
01:36:15.540 of the founder of quebec's unflinching determination to succeed where all others before him
01:36:20.320 remember earlier when they were saying that our ancestors were actually really nice people would
01:36:24.820 never dare do anything so ghoulish samuel de champlain found a guy who just thought he might 0.97
01:36:29.960 try to change the plan he killed him and he put his fucking head on a pike and that wasn't even 0.94
01:36:34.600 that long ago champlain does i got one badass story for champlain in this year i'm gonna get 0.99
01:36:39.920 to in a second um because you're thinking okay here's an explorer it's a man with a fucking 0.96
01:36:45.180 bronze, you know, telescope 0.97
01:36:47.140 here. He's probably wearing very frilly
01:36:49.280 shirts and things, you know, but
01:36:51.220 no, these guys came to 0.68
01:36:53.240 kill. Continuing 1.00
01:36:55.220 on, he says, although earlier attempts at colonization
01:36:57.320 in Canada and on Sable 0.98
01:36:59.180 Island had ended in disaster, the French, like 1.00
01:37:01.240 the English, Spanish, and Basque, had 1.00
01:37:03.260 continued crossing the ocean to
01:37:05.220 fish off Newfoundland and increasingly trade
01:37:07.220 furs with the Montang and 0.95
01:37:08.960 Micmac people. By the end of the 16th 1.00
01:37:11.320 century, the French had established a trading
01:37:13.280 post on st lawrence river's mountainous north shore and the st lawrence river is going to be
01:37:18.540 very very important to the rest of this book um traversing the st lawrence river which is a massive
01:37:24.560 river here in canada i think would it be comparable to the mississippi river it's the miss it's our
01:37:29.940 mississippi yeah um that is is a huge trade route and as we'll see later on in the book and if i
01:37:36.960 don't get to it i'll say it now that i believe it was up to champlain and mckenzie but champlain
01:37:43.100 for sure who wanted to traverse that river and they were looking for insight from the aboriginals
01:37:49.680 in the area and they they didn't know they couldn't go up the river they never left their
01:37:54.340 little region so no one knew where it went no one knew how long it was they just way yeah a thousand
01:38:00.560 years yeah come on man because you needed you needed a big ship to go up the river it can be
01:38:07.160 pretty treacherous um and they only had canoes and canoes are for short voyages canoes can't go
01:38:12.300 very far um they were used for some things but you you needed a higher level engineering to
01:38:20.940 to go far into canada because you would be hard-pressed to find any tribe that had really
01:38:28.380 gone very far and if they did it was because of europeans wanting to go out there but a lot of
01:38:36.300 the time they're like hey what's over those mountains we don't know i don't know what the
01:38:39.340 fucks over there no one's gone over 3 000 years you know uh champlain had a crazy idea unlike
01:38:47.700 previous colonizers he'd actually seek to make friends with the aboriginal nations rather than 0.99
01:38:51.820 antagonize them he already made a good impression on the montane bands by 1603 and then on the
01:38:58.200 micmac on the bay of funny coastline champlain admired aboriginal people and here's what you
01:39:04.460 start to see sort of um what do you call it not orientalism but something like orientalism where
01:39:11.140 it's the european who says i need to get to understand these people i'm actually going to
01:39:16.020 learn their language i'm going to start to have an affection for their culture which i think just
01:39:20.880 just something that we are prone to um champlain's business was exploration he wanted to find out
01:39:26.720 where the mighty river of canada led a river so long that the natives had told cartier no man had
01:39:33.040 ever seen its end. For Champlain, the wide dark blue waters of the
01:39:37.000 St. Lawrence leading to the heart of the mountainous wilderness were an irresistible mystery
01:39:40.820 but he couldn't just sail one of his large ships of the river against the current. In order to
01:39:45.040 make decent headway, Champlain would need smaller, more maneuverable vessels. He ordered
01:39:49.020 his carbonist outfit a pinnacle, sort of a smaller type of boat with
01:39:52.820 oars and a single sail. The Iroquoian farmers
01:39:57.240 who'd inhabited the St. Lawrence Valley in the time of Cartier had
01:40:00.920 disappeared um their settlements were now nowhere to be found uh which is interesting right you
01:40:07.960 you return to these places and it's just gone um no trace was left of the little village of
01:40:15.000 statacona as we'll remember that's where jacques cartier was uh do much of his business which had
01:40:20.520 rotted away and been swallowed up by the dense forest what had happened to the iroquoian speaking
01:40:25.560 people historians are divided this is good don't you love it when historians can't agree
01:40:31.560 i where do you think they went as we will learn for the rest of this there's there is but one
01:40:37.160 solution that's that they were raped eaten and killed by of these any of the mix of other bands
01:40:45.400 but let's see they're divided why they divide some think they might have been pushed out
01:40:49.240 in warfare with their algonquin rivals relocating to the south another theory is that the climate
01:40:54.520 which was cooling i had driven them southward but probably the most likely explanation is they've
01:40:59.160 been fatally weakened by their exposure to old world diseases transported by the french i i
01:41:05.080 challenge that i challenge that you want to watch i forget if i mentioned this last episode but
01:41:12.280 if you if your village is stricken by a disease and everyone dies the corpses would be there
01:41:21.160 right the bones would be there um even if the the settlements aren't it's hard to get rid of bones
01:41:27.320 especially if it's like an entire village that dies suddenly but if you're killed by conquest
01:41:32.760 what they tend to do is they move in and they take you as slaves and they transport you somewhere
01:41:37.080 else they kill you somewhere else right so i mean if you just find these villages that are completely
01:41:42.120 emptied and there's no trace of anyone even dead bodies like they were obviously killed but you
01:41:48.920 need this narrative that they were killed by diseases based on what based on what like i
01:41:54.680 actually don't know what this is based on they just said well they're not there so it must have
01:41:57.800 been a disease that makes you evaporate shut the up where are their bones where the bones
01:42:03.960 are they're being used in the houses of their enemies they're being used as jewelry you 1.00
01:42:09.000 fucking asshole that story is offensive of course sorry the montane the montagne montagne montane 1.00
01:42:21.000 montane i thought it was montane right it's montania yeah the montane lived in constant 1.00
01:42:25.080 dread of their enemies a fact that surprised champlain who hadn't expected to find such a
01:42:29.960 degree of warfare in canada montane were so feared the warlike tribes more like tribes
01:42:37.000 to the south whom they called Iroquois
01:42:39.160 that they begged Champlain to let their 0.88
01:42:40.980 women and children stay inside the fort to keep
01:42:42.920 them safe. As the pitiless war 0.80
01:42:44.940 they were caught up in spared no one, not
01:42:46.920 even the children. Champlain
01:42:48.760 tried his best as he could to help Montaigne friends
01:42:50.980 who camped nearby under the protection of
01:42:52.940 the fort's cannons.
01:42:54.840 So, here's where he gets
01:42:56.940 involved in a war.
01:42:58.840 And I love this. I was surprised by this.
01:43:02.040 At dawn
01:43:02.960 the two sides sent emissaries
01:43:04.960 to negotiate with each other, which
01:43:06.680 settled nothing other than that there would be a battle the iroquois had felled trees and fortified
01:43:13.160 their position near the lakeshore but in a show of confidence they left their defensive protection
01:43:18.740 wearing wooden armor they advanced into the open in a tight formation towards the coalition of
01:43:23.860 wendat and algonquin warriors both sides were armed with bows and arrows and some warriors
01:43:29.000 carried shields champlain was clad in heavy plate armor so just this one guy right everyone's dressed 0.99
01:43:35.500 in fucking wood and clickety clacking 0.98
01:43:37.600 around and there's this one guy 1.00
01:43:39.100 like a knight with 0.99
01:43:41.380 guns and shit. 1.00
01:43:44.060 Champlain is clad in plate armor 1.00
01:43:45.440 still standard in European warfare of the
01:43:47.560 era with a sword sheathed
01:43:49.460 at his side and his hands with a heavy
01:43:51.420 unwieldy aquabus.
01:43:53.400 He loaded it with four lead balls to
01:43:55.340 inflict maximum damage. So basically
01:43:57.120 a giant gun knowing that
01:43:59.320 once the fighting started he might not get a chance
01:44:01.340 to reload. The Wendat and Algonquin chiefs
01:44:03.440 had told Champlain that he must kill the 0.56
01:44:05.300 Iroquois chiefs there were three 0.97
01:44:07.500 of them each recognizable by
01:44:09.420 his large stature great feather
01:44:11.520 plumes in his hair
01:44:12.860 and a position in the lead
01:44:15.340 so how do you tell he's the leader well he's the huge
01:44:17.320 guy with the most feathers in the very front
01:44:19.520 Champlain
01:44:21.280 advanced ahead of the main party warriors
01:44:23.600 now he was out in front all alone 0.96
01:44:25.360 this is already so fucking badass 0.97
01:44:27.600 with a 0.99
01:44:29.660 gun they've never seen
01:44:31.520 before it's like showing
01:44:33.620 like a bitcoin wallet to a monkey when the on russian iroquois spotted the strange figure
01:44:41.180 clad in shiny armor they halted for a moment champlain took aim at the foremost chief and
01:44:46.180 fired the noise and thick plume of smoke startled the iroquois who never before encountered firearms
01:44:52.160 with a single shot champlain imagined two of the chiefs and wound a third he just took out three of
01:44:58.520 their lead he went out on his own in front with the biggest gun imaginable and immediately killed 0.98
01:45:04.120 their leaders this is the coolest story i've ever fucking heard the sight of their enemies 0.97
01:45:10.440 and confusion and the chief's dead roused the wendat and algonquin who shouted furiously began 0.98
01:45:15.420 to unleash their arrows on the iroquois champlain was eager to please his new allies but he drew the
01:45:20.740 line of torture and insisted that the captives be put out of their misery reluctantly the wendat 0.73
01:45:26.900 allowed Champlain to kill the Iroquois 0.64
01:45:28.800 with his Aquabus. 0.98
01:45:30.340 They then mutilated
01:45:32.980 the corpse and forced the surviving
01:45:34.600 captives to eat parts of it.
01:45:37.980 This is all reported
01:45:38.800 on by Champlain, by the way.
01:45:40.480 After the macabre scene, the remaining captives
01:45:42.880 had to continue the journey until they could
01:45:44.700 later all be tortured and
01:45:46.680 eat each other. 0.98
01:45:48.780 Imagine seeing that.
01:45:51.860 There's no way they would
01:45:52.840 make us all do literally that
01:45:54.540 again. And then they just did.
01:45:56.200 they love torturing people 0.74
01:45:58.060 they love torturing 0.92
01:45:59.280 so
01:46:01.160 the colonies grew ever so slowly
01:46:04.000 the winters remained brutally harsh
01:46:05.980 and the threat of war despite Champlain's efforts
01:46:08.020 to forge a lasting peace could never be
01:46:10.040 entirely extinguished
01:46:11.240 Champlain's desire for peace went so far
01:46:13.860 that several times he even pardoned names for
01:46:15.880 killing French settlers
01:46:17.020 something that would be inconceivable in the English 1.00
01:46:19.960 colonies but Champlain had always
01:46:21.960 done things differently and as he grew older
01:46:23.540 he was more determined to achieve peace
01:46:25.900 he now
01:46:28.160 rejected requests by his Alguancun friends
01:46:30.260 to lead war raids in the Iroquois
01:46:31.980 territory the founder of Quebec the
01:46:33.840 consummate seafarer explorer
01:46:35.840 soldier and map maker that was
01:46:37.860 Samuel du Champlain had done
01:46:40.020 his part by founding an enduring French
01:46:41.840 colony in the wilderness of the New
01:46:43.920 World so this is a guy who was
01:46:45.880 desperate to just to make a
01:46:48.000 country you know I mean and to
01:46:49.880 figure out 1.00
01:46:51.420 this aboriginal bullshit 1.00
01:46:53.120 and he couldn't do it unfortunately 0.99
01:46:55.880 but who can um i love this story here so i mentioned this very briefly last time
01:47:04.880 um this is this is the story i'm just focusing on this one part of the story this is another
01:47:10.740 guy who helped draw a map but it was a fine spring morning in 1652 when 12 year old pierre
01:47:17.220 esprit radisson set off for some duck hunting with two friends the youths had left their homes
01:47:23.100 in nearby Trois-Rivières, an isolated frontier settlement
01:47:26.700 for some early morning sports.
01:47:29.340 But little did Radisson realize that he and his friends
01:47:31.540 weren't the only ones hunting on the river.
01:47:33.140 Nearby, silently stalking them,
01:47:35.700 was an Iroquois raiding party.
01:47:38.000 With lightning speed, they sprang from the forest,
01:47:40.540 killing Radisson's two friends 0.97
01:47:42.160 and chopping their heads off as trophies. 0.98
01:47:46.240 Radisson managed to fire a shot before he was overpowered,
01:47:48.840 perhaps because of his youth or the bravery he showed.
01:47:51.480 his life was for the moment at least spared he was taken as a captive back to their village
01:47:56.460 there he gradually won the favor of his foster family who treated him more as an adopted son
01:48:02.460 than a captive radisson later managed to escape a second time after failing the first time he made
01:48:08.300 dutch settlements on the hudson river um in 1659 hardened from his life with the iroquois and now
01:48:15.560 grown into manhood he joined up with his brother-in-law to expand the french fur trade
01:48:20.500 deeper into the interior but when the french authorities spurned radisson and his friend
01:48:25.520 for trading without a license awesome they treasonously switched their legions to england
01:48:30.820 and helped found the hudson's bay company nice these are the two guys yeah that's some canadian 1.00
01:48:36.900 shit right there these are the two motherfuckers these are the two white savages that found the 1.00
01:48:42.220 hudson bay company you love it you love to hear it so he says here so the next time you're shopping 1.00
01:48:47.360 at the day just remember it was founded by traitors like shut up shut up bitch these are 1.00
01:48:53.780 two fucking winners who kill as far as i'm concerned um says what was unfolding in the 1.00
01:49:00.760 forests of canada was basically a replay of european history for a thousand years when 1.00
01:49:05.160 christian missionaries ventured into the wilds of northern europe to preach the gospel to the
01:49:10.760 various tribes um thomas dongan the english governor from new york from 1682 to 1688 declared
01:49:19.480 that it's intolerable to consider that wherever a frenchman goes forth in america it becomes a part
01:49:24.600 of canada in opposition to french expansion dongan supplied arms to the iroquois and court and
01:49:30.040 encouraged war raids deep into canada to terrorize the settlers uh this is going back to the tense
01:49:38.760 relationship canada's had with america of course massacres were a grim reality in the embattled
01:49:44.280 colony in 1689 a force of 1500 iroquois warriors slaughtered 24 colonists at la chain captured a
01:49:52.920 further 70 to be ritually tortured later and burned the majority of the farmsteads to the ground
01:49:58.680 the iroquois terrorized french canada for generations killing and scalping numerous men
01:50:03.480 women and children and yet the canadians could equally be brutal in war so like remember when
01:50:09.400 someone tries to tell you next time you hear the land acknowledgement that you are on the unceded
01:50:14.200 territory of just remember like this was a war this is a war and they lost
01:50:21.720 and they were at war with each other and then they were just killing our women and children 0.67
01:50:25.640 they loved killing women and children they left torturing and eating people shut the 1.00
01:50:30.600 the fuck like i i'm i can't even describe how pissed off i am at this land acknowledgement 1.00
01:50:35.900 shit i don't think it's benign i don't think it's just no silly no no it's insulting and then 1.00
01:50:43.440 they'll say like oh even even the fucking natives don't like it i'm like well then they can say 0.99
01:50:47.780 something you're sick of hearing that you're sick of hearing from people it's like well you know 0.99
01:50:52.340 actually this is all white people doing this the actual abriddles i never hear them where are they 0.98
01:50:57.220 where are they because all i hear them is fucking complaining about me it seems like they would 0.98
01:51:02.200 agree with this because it's what they talk about all the fucking time so spare me yeah yeah these 0.98
01:51:07.560 these are like you did a benevolent kindness by allowing them to fucking live and and what do we 0.95
01:51:15.660 have to show for it and it goes we go into a bit of detail here it says nearly all the native 0.97
01:51:23.200 nations in what is now southern ontario were annihilated by the formidable and expansionist
01:51:28.720 minded iroquois confederacy of the five nations which we mentioned earlier by 1649 the iroquois
01:51:34.700 triumphed over their ancient foes the once mighty wendat whose villages were put to the torch the
01:51:41.240 few survivors who escaped annihilation fled to canada after eliminating the wendat the confederacy 0.94
01:51:46.940 launched an all-out war on multiple fronts against the numerous first nations in the great lakes
01:51:52.180 watershed and beyond to the south they warred with the once peaceful suskenahawk and the virginia
01:51:58.800 against the manahoac to the west they invaded the ohio valley fighting the shawnee illinois erie and
01:52:04.540 other tribes pushing as far west in their raids as the mississippi in the northeast they struck
01:52:10.000 hard against the abenaki and the mohicans and wiped out the neutrals yeah i remember i mentioned
01:52:15.320 last episode there's a tribe called the neutrals yeah they were defined by not wanting to commit
01:52:20.940 war at all they don't want to do war they just want to hang out and they're probably i'd see 0.98
01:52:25.500 one of the more agriculturally advanced groups and of course destroyed by the fucking iroquois 0.96
01:52:31.260 yep um and it's just listing all the various tribes they're at war but this is the primary 0.94
01:52:37.580 for but it should be said that there was something akin to nation building going on
01:52:44.620 you had this unified coalition of aboriginal tribes and the first one to create the coalition 0.91
01:52:51.980 the first one to create that confederacy just steamrolled the rest of them but it was the same
01:52:57.500 sort of social mechanisms at play there as throughout all of europe um here's the next and
01:53:03.980 these might be the last ones we talk about these were we might get to mckenzie but um although
01:53:08.940 matt nabby and hern may not be anywhere near as famous as lewis and clark they often warrant
01:53:14.140 serious consideration as rival claimants
01:53:16.480 to the title of the greatest exploring
01:53:18.200 duo in North American history.
01:53:21.000 Matanabi and Hearn
01:53:22.200 are the names. Their shared journey
01:53:24.300 was well over 4,000 kilometers
01:53:26.520 in an environment far harsher
01:53:28.260 and more difficult than the lands traveled
01:53:30.140 by Lewis and Clark.
01:53:32.740 To Hearn, a young
01:53:34.360 man who lived a hard and lonely life,
01:53:36.080 Matanabi became more than just a friend and guide.
01:53:38.740 He was Hearn's hero, a larger
01:53:40.340 than life figure whom Hearn lionized
01:53:42.400 in his account of his shared journey.
01:53:44.140 So this is white guy, European, partnered with an Aboriginal guy.
01:53:50.540 And one of the great duos, one of the great...
01:53:53.680 Did they say what tribe he was?
01:53:57.480 I'll get to it in a second.
01:53:59.880 It says right here,
01:54:01.120 Matanabi was about 33 or 34, making him eight or nine years older than Hearn. 0.94
01:54:05.700 He was the son of a Dene father and one of his Cree slaves. 0.99
01:54:11.160 Interesting. 1.00
01:54:12.560 Interesting there.
01:54:13.240 highly intelligent and a natural leader
01:54:15.280 Matt Nabi could speak both Athabascan
01:54:17.820 and Algonquin
01:54:18.780 he had also learned a few English words
01:54:21.380 though not enough to converse
01:54:23.040 given Matt Nabi's pedigree and talents
01:54:25.020 the company had relied upon him as a peace
01:54:27.480 emissary to inland Kree and Dene
01:54:29.620 who were frequently at war with each other
01:54:31.500 such wars were a hindrance
01:54:33.640 to the company given that war meant less trapping
01:54:35.720 and therefore less profit
01:54:37.280 so
01:54:40.080 I love hearing about this Matt Nabi guy
01:54:43.160 Matt and Abby attributed the failure of
01:54:46.680 Hearn's two previous attempts at
01:54:48.600 reaching the copper mine
01:54:50.000 not only to the incompetence or treachery
01:54:52.780 of his guys but more crucially the lack
01:54:54.640 of women in his party
01:54:55.920 this is interesting
01:54:57.220 this explanation baffled Hearn
01:55:00.020 until Matt and Abby explained that the women
01:55:02.400 could carry everything while the men remained 0.68
01:55:04.260 unencumbered by heavy loads
01:55:05.800 and therefore free to hunt 1.00
01:55:08.420 moreover women were needed to make 0.88
01:55:10.580 and men clothing pitch tents
01:55:12.220 start fires and matanami added keep men warm at night plus they didn't require much as much food
01:55:18.300 as men did at least according to matanami's estimation her and accepted matanami's explanation
01:55:23.460 and trusted his experience i never heard that before but he's the first guy i'm like yeah you
01:55:27.720 should bring women along why i don't know don't you get lonely at night yeah yeah i mean i guess 0.73
01:55:33.680 they can carry all the shit true why didn't we think of this before and that's what he did 0.96
01:55:40.140 and this this is a guy who had like seven wives too apparently um he said this might seem odd to 0.98
01:55:46.000 modern readers but hern having grown up in a harsher and brutal world adopted a kind of cultural
01:55:51.220 relativism that led him to see matanabi's actions in a different light hern accepted them as
01:55:56.380 consisting with dene cultural norms in which women were often fought over in a single combat between
01:56:01.780 two men a practice not exactly unknown in europe and he gives you know like romeo juliet for
01:56:07.700 example among the denne like the ancient macedonians the greater and stronger the man
01:56:13.520 the more wives he acquired poor hunters and weaker individuals had no wives at all 0.64
01:56:19.700 and no children even matanabi although strong and agile was not immune to losing his wives 0.69
01:56:25.480 in these contests you're in stories with this guy he's getting wives he's losing wives
01:56:30.000 hearn reported that while they were hunting on the edge of the tundra he was challenged by a 0.99
01:56:36.580 much stronger man from one of his wives this is something the motherfucker saw knowing that if he 0.99
01:56:42.020 accepted the challenge he would lose the fight and therefore one of his favorite wives matanabi 0.99
01:56:46.560 attempted to buy the other man off with gifts of gunpower a kettle and other items the incident 0.99
01:56:52.540 was all the more galling to matanabi as the wife in question was the one he just purchased the 0.96
01:56:56.640 previous month oh i just got this wife soiling the very pants i was returning 0.92
01:57:04.560 such an 0.92
01:57:06.980 affront to his honor like that suffered by
01:57:08.800 Achilles when Agamemnon took him
01:57:11.020 as the slave girl
01:57:12.400 Brisis caused Manabe to become withdrawn
01:57:14.880 and sullen to the point where he wanted to abandon
01:57:16.820 the journey altogether
01:57:17.960 which is so funny which is such like a
01:57:20.780 guy thing to happen like he lost his wife 0.99
01:57:22.320 I don't want to fucking do this anymore 0.99
01:57:24.380 so you 1.00
01:57:26.720 lose his wife he lost his wife in a
01:57:28.940 bet the wife he had just purchased
01:57:30.840 a month earlier 1.00
01:57:31.760 fuck this so you gonna be okay yeah this is stupid we can go if you want i don't even want 0.99
01:57:36.900 just not into it so here we go and we're continuing on the story it was while retracing 1.00
01:57:44.860 their steps that the dene happened upon an old because they're partnering up with different
01:57:49.460 tribes as they're going you got these two guys and then they're partnering up with other tribes
01:57:52.640 bringing them along um and so they fell in with this uh group of dene warriors so they happened
01:57:58.900 upon an old inuit woman who had been separated from the others and he's quoting here he says
01:58:04.520 we saw an old woman by the side of the water killing salmon which lay at the foot the fall
01:58:09.420 as thick as a shoal of herrings whether from the noise of the fall or a natural defect of the old
01:58:14.900 woman's hearing it is hard to determine but certain is she had no knowledge of the tragical
01:58:19.840 scene which had been so lately transacted at the tents so basically they just like slaughtered a
01:58:24.460 whole bunch of inuit i think i think that was the story there that they just they had a battle and
01:58:28.700 they just killed a bunch of people and they find just this old Inua woman.
01:58:32.420 When you first perceived her, 0.99
01:58:33.440 she seemed perfectly at ease and was surrounded by the produce of her labor.
01:58:38.580 It was in vain that she attempted to fly for the wretches of my crew 0.96
01:58:41.840 transfixed her to the ground in a few seconds and butchered her in the most 0.67
01:58:47.060 savage manner.
01:58:48.320 There was scarcely a man among them who had not thrusted her with his spear
01:58:51.860 and many in doing this aimed at torture rather than immediate death as they
01:58:56.840 not only poked out her eyes but
01:58:58.800 stabbed her in many parts very
01:59:00.960 remote from those which are vital 1.00
01:59:02.580 when the Indians had plundered the seven 0.99
01:59:04.700 tents of all the copper utensils which seemed 0.99
01:59:06.880 the only thing worth their notice
01:59:08.780 they threw all the tents and tent poles
01:59:10.720 in the river destroyed a vast quantity
01:59:12.900 of dried salmon
01:59:14.300 seems counterintuitive
01:59:16.160 and musk flesh they broke all the stone 1.00
01:59:18.940 kettles and in fact did all the mischief 1.00
01:59:21.020 they possibly could to distress the poor
01:59:22.880 creatures they could not murder
01:59:24.980 and who were standing at the show before mentioned
01:59:27.600 obliged to be woeful spectators
01:59:29.580 of their great and irreparable
01:59:31.940 loss. So I just found an old
01:59:33.720 woman and just like started stabbing out her eyes 1.00
01:59:35.680 for no fucking reason. And he's just 0.99
01:59:37.620 standing there like, guys we gotta
01:59:39.680 go. This happened
01:59:41.820 all the time. And it's like I said
01:59:43.780 in the last episode, like when a cat
01:59:45.380 brings you
01:59:46.880 a dying bird
01:59:48.880 it views you as lesser if you
01:59:51.540 refuse to just start eating it. 0.99
01:59:53.100 yeah so they're looking at him like what the fuck's wrong with you you don't you so you don't 1.00
01:59:57.100 torture you don't fucking rape you don't want to just rip this old woman apart you don't want to 1.00
02:00:02.020 just fucking just want you don't rape you um and so that that's the again great success charted 0.99
02:00:11.640 much of can every single explorer's subsequent gets further and further um like alexander 0.99
02:00:17.700 mckenzie ranks as one of the canada's greatest explorers in a couple of thousand years when
02:00:22.580 history is mingled with legend mckenzie might become can to canada what odysseus is to greece
02:00:28.340 a tall claim he made one not one but two epic journeys off the edge of the map 13 years before
02:00:35.040 loose and clark crossed north america to the pacific ocean mckenzie did with fewer resources
02:00:40.280 less fanfare and over a more difficult route so it's in again there's more stories here
02:00:47.240 about uh let me just say this this is interesting because here with mcganzy you see them breach
02:00:54.520 into british columbia which was totally uncharted territory at the time he says the coastal tribes
02:01:00.680 of british columbia lived in villages enclosed by palisades and defended by watchtowers and that
02:01:06.200 was interesting the tribes on the west coast seemed to be highly advanced and these would
02:01:12.220 have been tribes that were dealing with russians the entire time too because by the time they came
02:01:16.600 across these tribes they noticed that they had they had gunpowder and they had iron cookware and
02:01:22.440 things like that so who knows how long they were dealing with the russians and trading with them
02:01:26.700 they frequently engaged in large-scale wars with their interior rivals and they often abducted as
02:01:33.440 slaves much as the vikings had as these coastal tribes had already traded not only with european
02:01:38.860 ships under the command of captain vancouver but also with spanish and possibly russian ships
02:01:43.740 in contrast to those large vessels
02:01:45.940 Mackenzie's scruffy little band must have 1.00
02:01:48.000 looked like paupers the natives appeared to be
02:01:50.060 divided amongst themselves with arguments
02:01:52.220 going over what they should do it seemed
02:01:54.000 that some wanted to trade with the strangers 0.99
02:01:55.960 while others wanted to kill them apparently
02:01:58.060 no consensus could be reached and when the sun
02:02:00.120 set they simply left after
02:02:02.020 four tense days the party finally made it back
02:02:03.980 to the friendly village where they're out of danger
02:02:05.640 from the natives anyway
02:02:07.300 so yeah I just
02:02:09.140 I like this book because it gave a pretty
02:02:12.040 good spectrum of the types of tribes you would encounter at that time how warlike they were
02:02:18.680 how advanced they were and you know as you again as as they were going across the interior of
02:02:24.520 canada there wasn't much going on you seem to see the most activity as you would expect
02:02:30.680 by the rivers by the oceans and by the lakes but i i don't hear tell of much going on in saskatchewan
02:02:38.360 honestly um it seemed to be the most and there wasn't much activity there was only maybe a
02:02:44.040 couple hundred thousand in total in the entire nation but the ones that were there seemed to
02:02:50.560 you know they spoke different languages that they couldn't they couldn't understand each other half
02:02:55.480 the time right anyway so what do you think about it we'll stop that there what do you think i mean
02:03:00.600 look it's it's it's validating all my prejudices so i love it it's my new favorite book and and
02:03:05.880 the more you learn about it the weaker the current mythology is which tends to view all aboriginals
02:03:12.280 as the same you know liberals are the real racists of course but like once you understand the real
02:03:18.360 history it's more dynamic it's more interesting you relate to it more you maybe relate to some
02:03:24.520 tribes more than others there are tribes you would view as perhaps more villainous more treacherous
02:03:29.480 because they weren't all like the algonquins they weren't all the the people the ones that
02:03:35.800 weren't torturing tended to be tortured themselves unfortunately yeah yeah but having said that you
02:03:42.300 know then there were the comanche and then there were the mohawks and then then you've got the 0.99
02:03:48.040 metis which are kind of a blend they're kind of a new thing they're a product of intermarriage and
02:03:54.380 stuff like that but i don't know the real history is more interesting it's more relatable you will
02:03:59.620 find heroes like matt nabi what an interesting character that is who doesn't like that guy
02:04:05.700 yeah but then i don't know you hear about what they're getting away with like there were cannibals
02:04:11.060 they did come across sometimes it was just they would they would refer to other tribes as cannibals
02:04:16.040 but they did there's accounts where they were eating flesh how ritualistic it was i don't know
02:04:22.760 but you can't deny that.
02:04:26.500 So remember that the next time
02:04:27.800 they want to do a land acknowledgement.
02:04:30.000 Like it's all made up.
02:04:32.260 Anyway, so that'll be the end of that.
02:04:34.980 I'll let you go now.
02:04:36.120 Good one, buddy.
02:04:36.880 I like that.
02:04:37.620 All right.
02:04:38.040 I'll talk to you later.
02:04:38.940 See you.
