00:02:27.000And, like, I don't know if it's time lapse or what.
00:02:29.000I don't know how long he was out for because it's like one of those ring cams that catches him.0.99
00:02:33.000This guy got fucking cooked twice.0.99
00:02:35.000You know, you're having a bad day.0.99
00:02:37.000I forget what Remy said happened to him after he got hit, but I remember his hearing was fucked up for a long time or something like that.0.95
00:11:47.000Well, and also, it's like, you know how, I don't know, you have dogs, but are they ever around when you're eating and like something falls on the ground?
00:12:34.000It's really shocking how many of them there are in the Everglades.
00:12:38.000It's like, you know, I went, I guess it was three years ago, and when we were there, it's like everywhere you look, you have to look for an alligator.
00:15:04.000Now, because no one hunted them, because they basically were making shoes out of them back in the day, and they almost hunted them to extinction.
00:15:11.000And they should probably start that again.
00:16:07.000So, some person reached out and said that they were representing this podcast and that he was going to come on the podcast.
00:16:14.000I think Tim Dillon, this happened with him too.
00:16:19.000It didn't happen with him where they got him, but they send you an email saying that they're going to have you come on a podcast, but they need your bank information.
00:18:23.000Title shots, debut killers, and the rising contender nobody's talking about yet, and only DraftKings has you covered every step of the way.
00:22:12.000Um, so I go back in there, next neck deployment, they take it off, no cavity, but now we just have this like whittled down regular tooth, just like a post of a tooth.
00:22:22.000So, because they removed the cavity because they or there was no cavity, there was no cavity.
00:22:27.000Jesus Christ, they thought on the x ray there was, so they had the anyway, the cap or the composites gone, so they said, Well, you need to go and Match the color of your teeth for your new fake tooth in Springfield, swing by this Springfield, whatever they do there for dentistry.
00:22:46.000So I go in there and they said, the girl there goes, Hey, my husband, Nate, makes some really cool gold teeth.
00:23:18.000Remember, Mike Tyson had a gold tooth for a while.0.97
00:23:19.000Well, this is like my savings account because I figure that I'm going to lose everything because I'm such a fuck up, but I'll still have this.0.99
00:23:26.000You can pull that sucker out and you can buy a cheeseburger.0.99
00:25:25.000And then, you know, when you have that opportunity, I think it's a terrible tragedy, a travesty to not capitalize on it, to not like make the most out of it.
00:25:35.000Cause I know that it's like very few human beings in the world.
00:25:40.000Well, I mean, how many people have ever had the number one podcast?
00:25:58.000I'm going to keep doing it until the fucking wheels fall off.0.99
00:26:01.000That's like people have said, like with bow hunting and stuff, like if you, you know, you work your ass off to get this place where you're respected, right?0.99
00:26:11.000And then there's going to be people that want your position.0.99
00:26:14.000And like with your attitude, my attitude too is like, fucking come get it.0.99
00:27:04.000Yeah, the whole taking the spot thing is so stupid because everybody's on their own little journey.0.96
00:27:08.000And you could look at it in terms of, I'm going to take that guy's spot, and maybe that's your motivation, and that's cool and all that, but there's a negative attached to that motivation.0.99
00:27:19.000If you don't have an actual personal beef with someone and you hate them just because they're in a position that you wish you were, you're wasting energy.
00:27:26.000I know this sounds like very hippie, but it's true.
00:27:32.000Should be celebrating that there's people like that out in the world that do inspire you and are out there pushing themselves to like extreme limits and just excelling at whatever it is, whether it's fucking playing guitar or doing stand up comedy.
00:27:48.000You should look at those people like, wow, what are they doing that I can do to make myself more successful or better?
00:29:08.000Everything you do in life is dependent upon you having energy.1.00
00:29:10.000And for you to waste your energy in some stupid ego driven direction just because you're too weak to recognize, like, oh, This guy can kick my ass.1.00
00:29:21.000Oh, this guy could shoot a bow further than me.1.00
00:29:24.000Oh, this guy runs way farther than I can run.
00:29:27.000Oh, this guy's way better at playing guitar than me.0.99
00:29:29.000What the fuck can I do to get where he's at?0.88
00:29:32.000You gotta just, that's a trap because not only does it take away energy, it takes away progress.0.98
00:29:52.000And it's like that energy is a resource that we have to protect.
00:29:56.000I think that when you talk about, like, you talk about all the outliers that you have this conversation with or sit across the table from you.
00:30:03.000And I think your attitude and how you look at things, like in that lens, that makes people want to come up.
00:30:11.000Like you said, you listed all these people and people want to hear what they have to say.
00:30:14.000People want to hear what they have to say to you because you have a way of drawing out more information in a different way because your attitude is so pure.
00:30:23.000I think, like, Even if you didn't believe what you said, it would still, if you just said, like, I want to be positive, but your questions were all negative, like in tone or like confrontational in tone, people wouldn't want to be on here like they want to be on here now.
00:30:39.000You being positive and looking at things like, how can I get better?
00:30:42.000How can we all learn and get better from this?
00:30:47.000That's the lens that you put the information that comes out through these microphones out into the world, which means people are attracted to you.
00:30:55.000People are attracted to the guests you have.
00:33:56.000Less people in a different type of person than yours.
00:33:59.000You have every reason to be dark about things, and you are sometimes, but that's not the theme of you.
00:34:05.000Well, I think these, it's like, first of all, people that aren't comedians, they're very, they're limited in what they can talk about and the way they can talk about things.
00:34:13.000You know, being a comedian is, there's a little bit of a safety net.
00:34:20.000You get a little, you can write it off a little bit.
00:34:23.000It's also, there's, that's real in terms of like, Another layer of conversation.0.99
00:34:30.000Like, there's a layer of conversation that is commonly known as talking shit.0.99
00:34:36.000And talking shit is a thing that you do where you're with your boys and you say things that you don't really mean because they're funny.0.99
00:37:18.000But no, I have to remind myself, like, Because if you start mentioning those things that you just did, dude, I will fucking lose my shit because I'm so pissed.0.99
00:38:25.000Most people in the country don't want it.0.97
00:38:26.000Now, look, I'm no fucking foreign policy expert.0.93
00:38:29.000I don't know what's going on over there, but I do know that all the people I know that really support Israel above everything else, they're fucking super happy about it.0.89
00:38:38.000And I'm like, but all the people I know that are like America first, or people that are like no new wars, that really thought that we're going to change things, and this is all just for money.0.99
00:38:46.000We're not going to sacrifice soldiers for fucking money.0.93
00:38:54.000And I really wish I understood Iranian politics more and the Iranian military structure, because it seems like That's super fucking complicated.0.56
00:39:05.000Like, they've been preparing to be attacked like this forever.
00:39:09.000And so they have like all these layers of control.
00:39:12.000Like, when this guy gets taken out, new guys are like ready to fill their spot.
00:39:16.000And then when we're negotiating with a new guy, Israel kills him.1.00
00:42:23.000You know, and, you know, I'll use perplexity all throughout the day to just ask you questions because I'm just driving around or I'm sitting at home and I'm like, I wonder how that happened.
00:42:33.000And just now you know, like instantaneously.
00:43:05.000And it'll send me down a nice rabbit hole where I'm like studying things and getting excited about things.1.00
00:43:10.000And then I'll just deal with some fucking kooks and crazy people and shitheads and grifters and people that are mad that people are white and people that are mad that people are black.1.00
00:47:40.000And so they were like, you know, bear meat, when you put a whole back ham on the Traeger, so she let it soak, marinate for four days, right?
00:47:52.000And I saw people saying, oh, if you did shoe leather for four days, it'd be good.
00:48:06.000And you know, there's like people talk about the settlers back in the day, they would eat bear and just kill deer for hides to make clothing because bear was superior meat.
00:48:16.000So people have fallen into this trap of like believing that bear meat isn't good and it's amazing.
00:48:39.000You know, if it wasn't for those anthropomorphizations of animals where they turned them into sweet, you know, beautiful creatures that talk to you, we would have a completely different idea of animals.0.99
00:48:50.000And a much more realistic idea of animals.
00:49:39.000It's uh, meanwhile, they build a stupid bridge for them, and it's uh, way over budget.1.00
00:49:43.000It's over a hundred million dollars now for the stupid fucking bridge, so they can cross.1.00
00:49:47.000We have to make sure that the monsters can get across the highway safety.1.00
00:49:51.000Trust me, I am of a completely different opinion.0.99
00:49:53.000I say, put one of those fucking big ass grills on your car, like I have on my Land Cruiser, and let's hope we get a few of them, yeah, so they don't kill people's dogs.0.99
00:50:01.000Look, it was right there in the middle.0.99
00:53:09.000Now, this time is wildfire fighting, which, if you get into the weeds on fighting wildfires, the National Forest Service already has $10 billion of road work they need to do on roads that are failing right now.
00:53:24.000So they're saying you're going to add more roads to the $10 billion worth of work that the roads already need maintenance on.
00:53:32.000What they're going to do is, and then also, if you make roads, the stats say, 85 to 90 percent of fires are started within a half mile of a road.
00:53:44.000So it's not the wilderness areas that are in danger that we need to figure out how to fight fires back there.
00:54:27.000Utah's heavily dominated by federal land.
00:54:29.00042% of the state is managed by the Bureau of Land Management alone, even more under other federal agencies because so much federal, so much of Utah's federal fights over whether to retain, transfer, or sell some of that land is especially intense there.
00:54:42.000Yeah, this next part is about Mike Lee, which.
00:54:45.000Conservative Utah Republicans, such as Senator Mike Lee, have proposed budget or legislative plans that would make millions of acres of Western public land eligible for sale, arguing it would boost housing or local economies.1.00
00:54:59.000The housing thing is like, hey, man, fuck you.0.99
00:55:02.000You're not putting houses in the mountains.1.00
00:55:21.000It says that Wyoming case would have been the first time a registered national historic site was sold into private ownership, which is why it drew attention.
00:55:33.000A national historic site among Oregon Trail could end up in the hands of private owners at the request of members of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter day Saints.
00:55:43.000Oh, so the church tried to purchase public land.
00:55:47.000So down to that next one, it says LDS teachings require strong stewardship and explicitly advocate preserving and protecting public lands.
00:58:13.000And the fact that you can go out there and that is your land.
00:58:16.000If you are a citizen of the United States of America, public land is your land.
00:58:21.000And you have access to incredible wilderness and beautiful places.0.93
00:58:25.000And if you've got the endurance and the ability to go deep in there, you could go to places where there's no fucking people and it's unbelievably pristine wilderness.
00:58:35.000And it's owned by the entire country, and we got to keep it that way.
00:58:40.000We can't let that slippery slope get into play.0.93
00:58:45.000As soon as they start giving away some of it or selling away some of it, they'll fucking keep going.0.96
00:58:55.000And especially with this public land, like at this time when we all came together, it was outdoorsmen in all regards it was hunting, hiking, fishing, whoever, recreators.
00:59:20.000We need the same thing now because at this time, I know we did so much, everybody came together.
00:59:25.000But when they do these, they wear us down with these last minute deals and add on these things because it's like, how many things can you keep fighting and fighting and fighting?
00:59:34.000And you're like, I thought we already got this.
00:59:38.000Well, I think that's one of the reasons why they keep so many fucking balls in the air at the same time is because you can't fight it all.0.83
00:59:45.000You know, it's like, do you really care about the Epstein files or do you care about UFO disclosure?0.95
00:59:56.000So, I think they took, to me, it seems pretty nefarious that they're like, say, oh, we got all these fucking dipshits worried about this roadless rule.0.99
01:00:04.000We can distract some of them with aliens.0.99
01:00:08.000Oh, we could, we could distract some of them with fighting.
01:00:11.000We got the White House fight coming up.0.98
01:00:13.000That's, and now all of a sudden, now it's way quieter because they've distracted some of these core groups with this other bullshit, right?0.99
01:02:12.000And so then they would, you know, get warmed up.
01:02:15.000And then when they would start sweating, the baby oil would come out of their pores.
01:02:18.000Because it's like when you soak in baby oil for hours, I'm not accusing any individuals doing this, but I know for a fact it happened.
01:02:27.000And guys would be completely greased up.
01:02:29.000And you could wipe them down with a towel, it wouldn't matter.0.99
01:02:31.000I mean, the grease is everywhere, it's in their fucking pores.0.99
01:02:34.000And as soon as they start sweating, you try to get a hold of them, it's like trying to hold on to a fucking salmon in the middle of the water.0.99
01:02:40.000They just slip right out of your fingers.0.98
01:02:41.000Well, that happens too if you eat McDonald's all the time.
01:05:51.000It's, I just, you know, I kind of agree with Bryce Mitchell's take on it, which you can get, In trouble with the green with him because he has a lot of takes.
01:09:53.000We don't want to talk about America's story on CBS?
01:09:56.000No, because there's only X number of fights and it starts from the first one, White said.
01:10:00.000We start at the beginning of time and, like the Mexican Independence Day fight, we're going to have the story of America from the first fight to the last.
01:10:08.000So, no, they'll all be on Paramount.0.69
01:10:10.000So, it's going to start out with European settlers coming over and giving everyone smallpox.0.99
01:10:15.000And then you're going to see all the Indians die.0.96
01:10:17.000And then we're going to go, oh, look at all these buffalo because there's no one there to kill them.0.99
01:10:20.000And then we're going to see people come across on wagon trains and kill each other.0.86
01:11:13.000It's also very weird because, as much as people hate Trump and hate his decisions and hate what he's doing and hate how he talks, my experiences with him personally have always been fun, unfortunately.
01:11:41.000Like, he wants to make the White House look better.
01:11:44.000He wants to build this ballroom because he has good intentions in terms of America.0.94
01:11:50.000It's just, there is not a single fucking person that's ever taken the job of the President of the United States that's loved by everybody.0.96
01:11:58.000But his, the issues that he's having right now is a lot of the stuff that is going on in this country is contrary to what people voted for.
01:12:07.000And that's what people are upset about the war, specifically.
01:13:25.000It's dealing with all these pressures, and look, they've made a lot of headway.
01:13:29.000They've made a lot of headway with peptides, they made a lot of headway with eliminating some of these unnecessary food dyes and all these different things that we've been subject to, but they lost with glyphosate.
01:13:47.000I've got a guy coming on who's an expert in it that's going to talk about it soon, and it It is the people that are gaslighting you to say it's not an issue.
01:13:55.000We don't really know how much of the health problems that a lot of people have who consume glyphosate ridden products have.
01:14:04.000We don't know how much it's affecting you.
01:14:06.000What is it taking away from your immune system?0.88
01:14:09.000What is it taking away from how much is your body processing this fucking toxic herbicide that's in your system versus, I mean, how much of that is contributing to people's health problems?0.81
01:14:21.000There's a lot of people that think that that's what a lot of this.0.98
01:14:23.000Gluten allergy shit is that people are just reacting to bromate and pesticides and herbicides.0.96
01:14:30.000But what's that stat with Iowa being the center for glyphosate basically with all the agriculture there?0.99
01:14:37.000And then that's like the hotbed for cancer.
01:14:43.000No, well, you know, that was also back in the day when people talk about the polio epidemic.0.99
01:14:49.000You can't talk about the polio epidemic without also talking about spraying of DDT all over the fucking country.0.79
01:14:56.000Because DDT poisoning has the exact same reaction, the body has the exact same reaction as polo, as paralytic polo, polio, polio, polio, the disease.0.97
01:15:08.000There's this woman who wrote a great book on it, Suzanne Humphreys.
01:18:31.000Well, Abu Dhabi does it every week, Abu Dhabi makes it rain every week with cloud seeding, and because they're rich, yeah, like it, make it rain, and so there's real weather modification.
01:18:44.000Now, that's there's cloud seeding, and then there's experimental, like some of the that like Bill Gates was talking about, like spraying.
01:18:51.000Reflective particles in the atmosphere to block out the sun.0.98
01:18:54.000Like, hey, fuckface, who are you to make a decision for the whole world to cool the world?0.99
01:20:12.000But, like, what I. Here's what this thing was really pissed me off because, as I said, the administration at first, I thought, okay, we got some good pipe hitters in there.
01:20:26.000It feels like they do what Trump says.
01:20:50.000And now with her husband getting sick, and now she's out of there.
01:20:52.000But it feels like people are, it's like if you stand up for something, you're gone.
01:20:59.000And now they got this Mark Wayne Mullen in there who just two days ago for this roadless rule, he unwinded 31 laws that were going to protect.
01:22:12.000And then the problem is, again, they can come up with reasons why, you know, they have to make some new laws because, well, we got to protect people.
01:22:48.000From near the Closed Canyon Trail in Big Bend Ranch State Park through the entirety of Big Bend National Park into remote parts of southeastern Brewster County.
01:23:00.000In the notice, Homeland Security Mark Wayne Mullen wrote the administration is bypassing a wide range of laws to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads along the southern border.
01:23:15.000While U.S. Customs and Border Protection continues to insist it will not build a 30 foot tall steel border wall in either the state or national park, the agency's current plans call for a mix of vehicle barriers, surveillance technology, and patrol road upgrades in the parks as a part of a project dubbed.
01:25:00.000Lakin Jordal, an advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement politicians who've never set foot here are signing a death warrant for this wild.
01:25:44.000Look, they have to protect the border, but if there's not a lot of crossings there and all of a sudden you want to spend all this money to build a steel border, like who's getting the contract?
01:26:07.000I mean, but they bypass all this shit that has the checks and balance in place to ensure that we're making good decisions with public money, and they bypass it all.0.98
01:26:16.000And then you know who suffers here?0.99
01:26:18.000It's the people who don't have, like, some people, they go to the park for mental health.
01:26:24.000They want, it's like they might not have two nickels to their name, but they're appreciating nature.
01:26:29.000That's why public land is so important because that gives purpose to people like me who's less like, I got to get out of this shithole city and go recharge, right?
01:26:39.000So for people who don't appreciate that or care about that, that's wasted land.
01:26:45.000It's like, We could have a shopping mall, we could have investors doing this, we could have make this work because right now they would say that well, not everybody can take advantage of this because you have to hike, you have to do these things.
01:26:57.000So, we want to make it more accessible so more people can enjoy it.
01:27:12.000Spike in border wall spending goes mostly to two firms with GOP White House ties.
01:27:18.000Construction contracts, including $2.6 billion awarded this week, are being awarded at a historic scale through a streamlined process that could put Trump on track to realize his vision for a border wall.
01:29:09.000So what happens is like, You get distracted with the Israel, the bombing of the girls' school, the Epstein files, and then they do shit like this.
01:29:17.000Okay, the only official border crossing inside Big Bend National Park is the Boquillas port of entry, and it sees on the order of about 10,000 legal crossings by visitors per year, plus a relatively small number of unauthorized crossings compared with other parts of the U.S. Mexico border.
01:31:17.000The Washington Post reported last week the skyrocketing border wall contracts now totaling more than 19.5%.
01:31:22.000$4 billion in the last six months have mostly gone to Bernard and Fisher.
01:31:28.000That's prompted a lawsuit against the Trump administration from a would be rival border wall builder who claims that the government doled out billions in contracts without genuine competitive opportunities.
01:33:45.000But they do this and yeah, the lobbyists get involved.
01:33:50.000And what happens is like, what happened with the big beautiful bill is this part was in there and Trump wanted it in there, but it was causing such a friction.
01:33:59.000He was just like, I want my big beautiful bill passed.
01:34:02.000These guys are fucking it up with this public land stuff.0.86
01:37:49.000But I just know I had this kid on, Benji Backer.
01:37:52.000He's like, has this page, it's nonpartisan something for outdoors.
01:37:57.000But I did this show with him, and there was bringing different people into debate public land or like to share why we care about public land coming from different places, but it's still all important to us.
01:38:43.000So that's what I feel like a lot of these times.
01:38:46.000If I get invited there, it's for that, it's to make my base, if I have a base, I'm not a politician, but to make my people feel a little better about whatever's going on.
01:38:59.000You want powerful people on your side, right?
01:39:00.000I'm not saying I'm powerful, but I have a pretty big following.
01:39:05.000I just went back there because it's a huge honor.
01:39:07.000Like the few times that I've been back there and it's amazing.
01:39:10.000And it's like being in the White House, somebody like me, Should never be there, but I've created value in my name in some ways that I get that opportunity.
01:39:19.000But that opportunity comes with a price.
01:39:21.000So now I have to think about, am I true to what I believe in by showing support for this?
01:39:27.000And now there's too much for me that I'm not happy with that I can't ignore it personally.
01:39:33.000So I feel like they use opportunities like that for press.
01:39:39.000Well, it seems like there's so many different people that want a piece of the pie.
01:39:45.000And if there's these giant contracts for border walls and giant contracts for this, it's just such an incentive to do things that people don't want.
01:41:33.000Oh, then you start wondering how they're voting on things.
01:41:35.000You're like, This is making a lot more sense.
01:41:38.000It's like, where's the money coming from?
01:41:40.000Yeah, they have to take all that out of politics.
01:41:44.000I don't know how you could at this point, but when you can influence politicians and influence who gets promoted to be voted for, who gets put out into the public eye in a great light, in a positive light, and then you realize that there's just all this money from corporations to get this person in or from other corporations.
01:43:00.000First of all, I don't think any foreign government, anyone connected to a foreign government, should have any influence whatsoever on American politicians.
01:43:07.000I've heard our politicians say their loyalty is to Israel.
01:44:28.000Citizens United decision is widely seen as having created serious problems in U.S. politics by vastly increasing the role of big money and reducing transparency.
01:45:42.000So that's like Ruth Ginsburg right there called it the worst ruling of her time on the court.
01:45:47.000Overwhelming majorities of Americans have consistently expressed disapproval of the ruling, with at least 22 states and hundreds of cities voting to support a constitutional amendment to overturn it.
01:47:16.000Now, this is another crazy one, but they try it in Oregon because it's very, we've got a huge liberal population in Portland and Eugene and some of these, and Salem.1.00
01:49:23.000They're making it like even the breeding.
01:49:26.000Of animals, like we breed cows, we breed horses.
01:49:29.000Um, there's stud fees, there's different things that make better race, like, like uh, race horses, but there's also better product for beef, right?
01:49:39.000So, we control like when uh, when a cow goes into heat, when it gets bred, things like that.
01:49:45.000That's part of like being a rancher.0.62
01:49:47.000Well, they want to make that like because a cow didn't agree to it, it's like rape, it's like sexual assault.
01:49:53.000Like, you can't control when animals breed, so that takes away ranching.
01:49:59.000So, they want to make it to where They're not going to make eating meat illegal, but if people can't raise it, you're buying it from some other state at a higher price to get it.
01:50:45.000So, this guy who introduced this, this is the third attempt at doing this.
01:50:50.000He knows he's not going to get the vote because how it worked to get on the ballot, they take 6% of the votes cast in the last governor election.
01:52:20.000As just useful idiots to push things through.0.99
01:52:22.000Yeah, and then you get a bunch of people that are pushing money, PACs that are pushing money towards these people to fund them to push these wacky ideas.0.99
01:53:30.000You know, a rancher has a job and it's very hard.
01:53:32.000He doesn't have time to go out and knock on doors.0.95
01:53:36.000That's the really fucked up part a lot of these people that are these protesters and these organizers, that is their job.0.97
01:53:43.000And that's hard for people to really understand.0.99
01:53:46.000And until you listen to people like Mike Benz, where he breaks down how NGOs work and how they fund things, and the fact that most of these things are a fucking scam.1.00
01:53:58.000Most nonprofits are a fucking scam.1.00
01:54:20.000And most of the money goes to the supporting of this organization the overhead, the structure, all the infrastructure, all the people working there.
01:55:34.000It's all about how a lot of these guys they realize that they're having public image problems, like particularly Bill Gates, like during the antitrust lawsuits with Microsoft.
01:55:47.000Then he pivots to this Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation where it's all about philanthropy, but they're philanthro capitalists.
01:56:40.000Because in the United States, more than half of our hospitals are nonprofits.
01:56:45.000But the hospital world doesn't feel very nonprofity.
01:56:48.000And then I read this article by Scott Hodge in the Washington Post that talked about how they need to be taxed.
01:56:53.000And it turns out that the total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023, so three years ago, was $1.3 trillion.
01:57:01.000And it turns out that they're getting a bunch of taxpayer money.
01:57:03.000In fact, three years ago, so this is probably a lot more now, nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.
01:57:10.000And as I mentioned, we taxpayers give them a bunch of money.
01:57:13.000In fact, in 2021, we gave them $38 billion, $11.5 billion of it because they don't have to pay any taxes.
01:57:22.000And that was five years ago, so this is probably more like $60 billion now.
01:57:25.000And the reason that we hypothetically give them this money as taxpayers is because they're supposed to do charity.
01:57:31.000But there was a study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals and found that 86% of them provided little or no charity.
01:57:39.000And that's because almost everybody that goes to hospitals has insurance, is either private health insurance or insurance from the government.
01:57:45.000Only 3% of people don't have health insurance, and it's not like the hospitals give them a deal.
01:57:50.000Turns out that the government was checking this out around 2009.
01:57:54.000The hospitals spun up a lobbying campaign and got any requirements that would basically define what kind of charity they would have to do squashed.
01:58:28.000And there are really good nonprofit hospitals that are primarily funded by donations and serve low income families and people in need, like St. Jude or like the Shriners.
01:58:37.000But it looks like about 86% of these nonprofit hospitals get $50 or $60 billion from U.S. taxpayers, like you and me, because they're supposed to do some form of charity.
01:58:47.000But they paid off the government so they don't have to really do charity.
01:58:50.000And some of their CEOs are making $15.3 million a year while we subsidize them with like $50 billion.
01:59:24.000That's what Nick Shirley found in Minnesota when he went to investigate the daycares and also found in California with hospice care centers.0.98
01:59:32.000There's entire motels where every room was supposed to be an office for some fucking nonprofit, and they're all just siphoning money.0.99
02:00:02.000I mean, what we're going to have to have.
02:00:04.000Is some sort of like radical transparency where all this stuff gets exposed and gets exposed, like probably with some AI program.
02:00:15.000And no one's going to want to turn that on.
02:00:17.000They're never going to want everyone to know exactly how much fraud and how much fucking terrible management they've done with our money.0.92
02:01:19.000So hopefully that, you know, how these, just like this lobbyist and this IP28, they're seeing what works and what they can get away with and kind of planning for the future.
02:01:29.000Well, if Dan is successful with this Initiative 302 passing, that will be like how we can address this in the future to protect hunting and fishing.
02:01:36.000Because if it can go through there, this is like the litmus test for it, then okay.
02:01:41.000Maybe we can do this in other states also.
02:01:45.000But, I mean, we have to, we just have to get more savvy politically to, when they're doing shit like this, we have to be more in tune, you know, and educated on it.0.62
02:01:55.000God, it's such a bummer, though, because, like, the people that I know, like Mike Benz, that do this all day, I do not envy them.0.82
02:02:02.000I mean, Mike Benz makes these live streams where he's just exposing, and they last for hours.
02:02:49.000I don't give a shit about Democrat, Republican, whoever.0.98
02:02:53.000He just fights for public lands and he's a badass.0.97
02:02:56.000And then also Ron Wyden there in Oregon, who normally I'd probably never agree with anything on because, you know, it's just different.
02:03:02.000But he is, he does get, I want to give those guys credit for trying their best to protect and fight against this public land sell off and Mike Lee and this Energy Resource Committee, which is, you know, they're beholden to a different set of values.
02:03:18.000Usually it's money related and these guys are, Kind of fighting for the guys like us who just enjoy being out in the mountains.
02:04:39.000So, what does it look like now on an x ray?
02:04:41.000It's like kind of the bone is, it was a big break, like a pretty wide break, which is why the surgeon didn't know if it was going to be able to, the bone is going to be able to make it across there because I kept like moving it.
02:04:53.000And he told me, he's like, you know, with this, this is, I just had the same surgery done on my thumb where the ligament pulls a piece of the bone off and breaks it, right?
02:05:05.000So, your ligaments and tendons are very strong.
02:05:09.000So, what happened here is I fell and I was doing a race and basically shredded my ligament, broke this bone.
02:05:18.000So, they had to hope that the bone was big enough to go attach it back to where it broke from because bone on bone healing is much better than ligament to bone.
02:06:01.000And he said, there's no guarantee that this will attach like it should or that you need another surgery if this doesn't work and then another one to get the hardware out.
02:06:11.000So I'm just like, I really don't want to do two or three surgeries.
02:06:15.000Let's see if we can try other treatments less invasive.
02:06:18.000If I can just deal with this pain for long enough, would my foot heal?
02:08:49.000Me and Lance Armstrong, we did the New York Marathon.
02:08:51.000I didn't even see him during this one, but I ran 250, like 21 in New York.
02:08:56.000I ran 250 quite a few times, like Boston.
02:08:59.000When I ran with Lance in 2008, I did run 250 again, and that's when we finished together.
02:09:05.000And, you know, Truett and I were talking about this too just the other day because Truett, my son, he's going for the Olympic trials qualifier in the marathon, which means he needs to run quicker than a 216.
02:09:16.000So we were talking about this, and it's just my training and even his training because I'm not a coach and I don't know, I just run to get in shape for bow hunting.
02:09:38.000And when you start getting into this marathon training and specifics of it and why you do certain exercises and why there's certain stimulus from, I mean, I just had the winner of the Eugene Marathon on my podcast, and we did a really fast run.
02:09:52.000We ran a 506 mile, which I had never done, a mile seven of an eight mile run.
02:09:57.000And then he said, Okay, his name's Jack Siddell.
02:10:00.000He's like an amazing athlete, has 1,400 followers, which is.
02:10:05.000Kind of crazy that this amazing talented people have a small amount of following, but their talent is incredible.
02:10:13.000I ran with him just the other day and he said, Oh, I need to do eight 100 beater strides, which is simply essentially sprinting.
02:10:22.000After we ran super hard eight miles, climbed a 3,000 or 2,000 foot mountain and did this fast pace, but he still had to get the stimulus needed for what he's asking his body to do, which is qualify for the Olympics, right?
02:10:37.000So, the stimulus is what I've never done before.
02:10:40.000I've never got on the track and did it.
02:10:50.000How I'd put in work was I'd go run mile after mile after mile.
02:10:54.000Some days, 20 miles a day, because I felt like that was a noble sacrifice for me and for achieving what goals I wanted, which was bow hunting related, not racing related.
02:11:05.000Well, with Truett taking on this Olympic trials qualifier journey, he's He's been doing the stimulus, hired a coach, and like, hey, dad, you need to do this type of stuff.
02:14:20.000It's, it's, it's required for the Olympic athletes to get their just due.
02:14:25.000For me, he said, You know, he's talked shit about Truett, which he's already on my radar because I remember Truett said, Hey, there's this elite guy who's saying that I'm dishonoring the marathon because, I have no chance of getting the standard.
02:18:27.000It's just like, So, there's things like that where it's just nonstop.
02:18:33.000I don't know if I can take this, this, that.
02:18:34.000I've never been in that position because I just run to Bohunt.
02:18:38.000I've never looked at these lists, I've never done anything.
02:18:41.000But a lot of stuff that, you know, Sudafed is on there, ADHD medicine is on there, you can't take, or you have to get what they call a therapeutic use exemption.
02:18:51.000So, say if you were a regular guy and you had low testosterone and you wanted to do TRT, you could get that approved through a therapeutic use exemption.
02:20:46.000Or probably these tests are expensive.0.97
02:20:49.000So, There's something to like if it's a USATF, so United States of America Track and Field Association, if it's one of those events and it's for like a world championship or it's for like a team position, I get it.
02:21:06.000And it does need to be for the Eugene Marathon with 9,000 people.
02:21:10.000It's not realistic to say we're going to drug test everybody, or if you're taking whatever, you need a therapeutic use exemption because do you think USADA could?
02:21:21.000Review, say if people are taking three or four different medications times 9,000, they don't have the resource to go through all those TUEs, right?
02:21:56.000Whatever the fallout is, is what it is because this needs to be discussed.
02:21:59.000Because I talk to all these regular people who are doing all this stuff just to be healthy, to enjoy something that they love, which is running or competing in races.
02:22:08.000And everybody, like on the other side, on, you know, say the clean sport side, which I am on that side too.
02:23:33.000Yeah, and I don't, I've never, I hardly look at that, but there's now after all this, I looked at the waivers because, you know, USADA has been, they sent me two really nice emails, just lovely emails that I haven't responded to.
02:23:46.000Um, And they're trying to do the best they can, but if these waivers say, I looked at the waiver for, I did two races this year, the Eugene Marathon and Cocodona 250, and the waivers mention liability and insurance things.
02:24:02.000It doesn't mention anything about USATF or drug testing or any of these requirements.
02:24:34.000You know, we've talked about smokescreens here.
02:24:36.000Well, what he's doing is basically he's accusing you because you took BPC 157, and he's saying you're lying about doing all these other things.0.98
02:24:43.000I've been called a liar, a cheater, a doper, stealing.0.91
02:24:53.000We were talking about earlier about people that are outliers that are like super successful and they'd be like, fuck that guy, that guy cheats, that guy this, that guy that.0.99
02:25:51.000Like you have to, there's like a fine line between mental toughness and just being able to see the big picture and go, it's actually smart.
02:26:19.000And you have to understand that the kind of willpower that a guy like you has or a guy like Goggins has where they can do things where people go, no one could do that.1.00
02:27:11.000There's real people out there that are really living like that.
02:27:15.000This guy should look at that and take inspiration from it.1.00
02:27:18.000But he's got these ideological differences with you because he's a vegan and because he thinks hunting is cruel and you're an asshole and you're killing animals.1.00
02:27:26.000And meanwhile, he needs to eat one of them fucking bear sticks.1.00
02:27:42.000If you and that guy actually had a conversation and you were civil and there was no cameras and it was just two human beings having a conversation, I guarantee you probably have way more in common than you do not.
02:27:56.000Outside of the ideological differences about hunting and veganism and maybe a lack of understanding about what even veganism entails, because most of it entails large scale monocrop agriculture.0.97
02:28:09.000If you're just buying plants, you are responsible for the death of a fucking Countless number of creatures.0.96
02:29:44.000So the rules that apply to me are this rule.
02:29:48.000And it's like, if you want to talk about rules, I follow rules.
02:29:51.000Like I talked about purchasing, you know, when I was a The buyer at my old job for 20 years, I had to go by laws and rules every day.
02:30:01.000And so I respect that if it has to do with me, if it affects me, I'm like, okay, I understand it.
02:30:07.000Well, this one, you start bringing up these USATF sanctions and what I need to know when I sign a waiver for a race and I look at the waiver and the waiver doesn't mention anything about this.
02:30:18.000This says if the USTF sanctioned event is, you know, if we're talking drug testing, it says, Related published materials must contain the following language.
02:30:30.000So when I see that it says that must contain the following language, in my contract days, I'm like, well, that didn't say should or didn't say may, because should and may means it doesn't have to.
02:31:58.000If I wanted to be, if that was what I was going to do, I would know everything about the rules, everything about what I could take or what I couldn't take.
02:32:20.000But, but as long as that lasts in your system, how are they going to prove if you took it that morning?
02:32:25.000Well, they would have to be able to test your levels right after you race and they could determine whether or not you were actually intoxicated during the race.
02:32:55.000I want to say this is, God, I want to say like 2005.
02:32:59.000It was a big win when Nick beat Takanori Gomi.
02:33:03.000Takanori Gomi was one of the big stars over in Pride.
02:33:06.000And Nick, he got him with a Go Go Plata, which is a crazy submission off your back where you use the shin against the guy's neck and you're grabbing your foot from behind his head.
02:33:25.000And I think for good reasons, I don't think you should be allowed.
02:33:28.000But look, the reality of these drug tests is that if you're saying to a person that you can't take it the day of the competition, and they're a regular user, they're going to have a lot of THC in their system.
02:35:08.000It's like, I just don't think that we need to be opening the Pandora's box to testing 9,000 people or having them, you know, like.0.60
02:35:15.000Well, it's also be realistic about what you're saying because what you're saying is if all you did was take that drug, it's not even a drug, take that peptide in 2024 for a broken foot, there's no fucking chance that helped you win a marathon two years later.
02:35:35.000It does not help other than the fact that it helped to heal your broken foot.
02:38:04.000He's attacking your character, but it's also the fact that, you know, that quote that I love all criticism is the tragic result of unmet needs.
02:39:58.000And especially ones that are not getting their needs met in terms of the attention they feel they deserve and who are ideologically opposed to you because you're a hunter.
02:40:06.000What the traction he's got is because it's almost like, If you say, you know how some people would say, Oh, you're interested in border security, like protecting the border.
02:40:55.000But I'm so like illiterate on performance and like PEDs.
02:41:02.000I'm just like, I don't, I don't even take testosterone anymore because I run better low, which is weird.
02:41:11.000And I didn't know if this happened because.
02:41:14.000They say when you run like long distances, like extreme long distances, your testosterone drops.0.99
02:41:20.000I almost think that's by design because I look at like how these women have been performing at these huge races with low testosterone and higher estrogen, they perform better.0.98
02:41:29.000And so I'm just like, man, maybe I don't need the TRT.0.86
02:42:15.000I just, I always ran, but I'd run like five miles a day.
02:42:18.000And I wanted to be like, I thought, like, for hunting, I needed more muscle to perform because I need to carry heavy loads and things like that.
02:42:26.000Now I've realized that I'm better with extreme endurance and I'm still strong for like 148, still very strong compared to like a normal 148.
02:42:38.000So I'm still able to do the task I need to do, carry heavy loads when I kill.
02:43:28.000It's like he's heavier, but every guy lining up to run the, the, Olympic trials qualifier, or like when they run the Olympic trials for the marathon, there won't be anybody over like 140.
02:46:07.000And then there's also, you know, there's a lot of people that don't have good personal insight, they don't understand what they're doing.
02:46:14.000Really, they think they're justified in what they're doing.0.99
02:46:16.000Really, it's just a bunch of bitchy bullshit.0.97
02:46:19.000One thing that I did, I think part of this, I don't want to be demonized about like with the peptides because it shouldn't be demonized.0.98
02:46:26.000But one thing I think a lot of people, because as you said, a lot of people are taking these peptides, a lot of people are doing the TRT stuff.
02:46:35.000I think that there was a big shift when COVID happened as far as distrust in the health.
02:46:43.000I mean, basically, our health and wellness.
02:46:50.000People are having trouble getting in their doctor.
02:46:52.000Doctors quit because it's too frustrating.
02:46:54.000So, people, we've had a hard time getting medical treatment, like to be healthy.
02:46:58.000And then COVID happened, and then they were shoving down, you know, the vaccine down our throats, and turned out like it wasn't as safe and effective as they said.
02:47:05.000So, I think people, like, they see that the writing was on the wall.
02:47:10.000The doctor was like just writing prescriptions.
02:47:12.000So, then the wellness clinics popped up, right?
02:47:16.000And it feels like it was after COVID for now, like you got a ways to well, and there's other places like it where you can go in and they care about how you feel.
02:47:24.000They want you to, they want to help you feel better, like live like an optimized life, like, You're old, but you don't have to feel old.
02:47:31.000And so they're like, they can do the blood panel where getting a blood panel at your regular doctor was like pulling teeth for a while.
02:47:37.000It's like, no, we don't need to do that.
02:47:39.000But you go to a wellness clinic, they'll do it and they'll tell you, yeah, you're deficient here, this, this, that.
02:47:59.000So it's no wonder that waste to well is.
02:48:02.000And like these other treatments, maybe bypassing surgery and let's try this peptide.
02:48:09.000I see that it's kind of evolving and it's changing.
02:48:12.000And the sport of ultra needs to also, and running needs to be on board with that because most of your field aren't elites and aren't Olympians.
02:52:00.000That's the first thing I drink in the morning.
02:52:01.000Oh, is an element, yeah, because I know I'm because I run every day.
02:52:05.000I know I think I've been also like low on sodium for a long time just because of how much I run for sure.
02:52:12.000Like, I run so much, like, I get sores here because my shirt gets soaked with sweat, and wet clothes sitting on my skin has made all these sores from running for hours and in a wet shirt.
02:52:49.000But I think that I was sweating so much that when I do that element first thing in the morning, it sets me up for the whole day to be able to perform at a higher level.
