00:00:04.000 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.
00:00:06.000 I think it would come down to precious metals.
00:00:09.000 I hope we don't go cashless.
00:00:11.000 I would say land is a safe investment.
00:00:13.000 Technology companies.
00:00:15.000 Solar energy.
00:00:16.000 Robotic pollinators might be a thing. 1.00
00:00:18.000 A wrestler to face a robot?
00:00:20.000 That will have to happen.
00:00:22.000 So, whatever you think is going to happen in the future,

00:00:30.000 These penguins are all heading to the open water to the right.
00:00:40.000 But one of them caught our eye, the one in the center.
00:00:45.000 He would neither go towards the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice,
00:00:50.000 nor return to the colony.
00:00:55.000 Instead, he started to walk to Minneapolis.
00:00:59.000 Some 3,000 miles away.
00:01:05.000 But why?
00:01:10.000 He was an ice protester with no brain. 1.00
00:01:13.000 The biggest problem facing the anti-ice protesters, really, they're more agitators, operatives.
00:01:23.000 The biggest problem they face is what I call Marvel movie mentality.
00:01:28.000 Their view of the world is entirely out of comic books, like cheap, bad comic book stories.
00:01:35.000 So, they see a cop throw a flashbang.
00:01:37.000 They're going to go grab it and pick it up and hurl it, you know, into the bad guy's headquarters or whatever.
00:01:42.000 Think fast, chuckle nuts!
00:01:43.000 And so, when they try to pull those pranks and stunts, in reality, it doesn't always work out.
00:01:53.000 Take it away.
00:01:54.000 Arrest!
00:01:55.000 I'm dead!

00:02:28.000 You guys feel safe that I never heard?
00:02:41.060 You guys, get out of here.
00:02:44.520 You're making us fuck safe.
00:02:47.460 You should be afraid of us.
00:02:49.020 Shoot me.
00:02:58.000 The pepper spray is so great because it's so silly looking.
00:03:13.980 It's like these cops, they don't even want to hurt these guys.
00:03:17.340 They're just making such a nuisance of themselves.
00:03:20.720 And they're so divorced from reality that even just a little spray, just a little
00:03:25.000 will wake them up.
00:03:27.260 It's like smelling salts almost.
00:03:28.980 It's like smelling salts if you've fallen asleep.
00:03:30.600 It's like that for these people whose brains have fallen asleep.
00:03:35.840 Next one.
00:03:39.620 Oh, this one's real.
00:03:40.640 I've seen this one.
00:03:45.260 Kill someone else.
00:03:47.720 Kill someone else.
00:03:51.200 Kill someone else.
00:03:51.260 I love how it's the guy.
00:03:58.400 Well, I was going to say the guy in the hoodie.
00:03:59.580 The other guy in the hoodie, he's like holding him back.
00:04:03.320 So this jerk starts, the guy in the green hoodie starts, you know, making problems with the
00:04:07.920 cops.
00:04:08.260 Cops are like, whatever.
00:04:09.700 Just like explodes a paintball or whatever that is in his face.
00:04:12.480 It looks like it's that Indian festival of Diwali throwing colors everywhere.
00:04:17.420 And then the guy starts walking around and then his friend, you know, he's kind of holding
00:04:21.460 him back.
00:04:21.980 It's like, yeah, hold me back.
00:04:23.420 Yeah, hold me back.
00:04:24.180 What are you going to do?
00:04:25.040 Hold me back.
00:04:26.220 Yeah, you should have seen what I would have done.
00:04:28.320 Had you not been holding me back what I would have done to that guy?
00:04:31.080 Don't hold me back.
00:04:32.080 Don't hold me back.
00:04:33.120 Oh, OK, then go for it.
00:04:37.160 Would have, well, in this conditional statement, oh, boy, I would have been, no, you're going
00:04:42.160 to do nothing.
00:04:42.860 You better thank that guy.
00:04:43.740 You say, thank you for blowing that ball of color up in my face, because at least it 1.00
00:04:49.820 wasn't lead, which when you start fighting with cops, eventually you can expect to get.
00:04:57.540 OK, next one.
00:04:58.560 There's a lot more to say first, though.
00:05:00.240 Go to hallow.com slash Knowles.
00:05:02.300 We are here, can you believe it, almost at Lent.
00:05:06.300 I still have my Christmas decorations up because we're not quite at Candlemas yet, but then
00:05:09.580 right around the corner is going to be Lent.
00:05:11.260 Beginning this Ash Wednesday, our sponsor, Hallow, is inviting you to take Lent seriously
00:05:15.540 with Pray 40, the return, a 40-day journey of daily prayer leading up to Easter featuring
00:05:20.680 Jonathan Rumi, Father Mike Schmitz, Sister Miriam James, Jeff Cavins, Mark Wahlberg, Chris
00:05:24.880 Pratt, and others.
00:05:26.340 Lent is the church's annual reminder that self-mastery matters, that virtue requires discipline, and that
00:05:31.660 becoming who God intends us to be means removing the things, habits, distractions, comforts that
00:05:36.660 stand in the way.
00:05:37.780 Through prayer, fasting, and self-giving, we make room for God's mercy, grace, and love
00:05:42.680 to actually do their work.
00:05:44.340 At the center of Pray 40, the return, is one of the most profound stories ever told, the
00:05:48.780 parable of the prodigal son.
00:05:50.000 A reminder that no matter how far someone falls, redemption remains possible.
00:05:54.520 This year's challenge also draws inspiration from the Brothers Karamazov, a serious meditation
00:05:58.860 on belief and doubt, guilt and forgiveness, and the moral responsibility we bear toward
00:06:02.980 one another.
00:06:03.860 Throughout Lent, Jonathan Rumi and Sister Miriam James will guide daily prayer and meditation.
00:06:08.480 Fridays include fasting challenges, and Saturdays feature thoughtful faith conversations.
00:06:12.800 Sundays bring homilies from Father Mike Schmitz.
00:06:14.760 Lent does not demand grand gestures, it asks for seriousness.
00:06:18.060 Right now, go to hallow.com slash nulls, take part in Hallow's Lent Challenge.
00:06:23.420 Pray 40, the return is for you.
00:06:29.840 I like to have to clarify liberal furry.
00:06:32.720 Not one of those traditionalist furries.
00:06:35.320 Not a Burkean furry, a conservative furry.
00:06:39.220 No, this is a liberal furry.
00:06:44.760 The worst part of the video is the furry probably liked it, right?
00:06:49.400 It's these guys who have these weird sexual hang-ups.
00:06:53.180 Oh, no.
00:06:55.300 Well, I guess that explains most of the anti-ice stuff.
00:06:58.260 All of these women, these middle-aged liberal white women rolling up just like, hey, cop. 1.00
00:07:04.600 Yeah.
00:07:05.620 What, you want to arrest me?
00:07:07.920 What do you want to do?
00:07:08.720 You want to throw me around or something, cop?
00:07:10.940 Oh, I bet you'd love that, wouldn't you?
00:07:12.720 Ma'am, can you just please move along?
00:07:15.600 Yeah!
00:07:16.560 You probably want to fling this door open right now.
00:07:18.620 Grab me by...
00:07:19.300 Don't, I don't actually want to do any of that, please.
00:07:21.140 Can you just please move along?
00:07:22.720 So you got that.
00:07:23.980 Then you got the guys who have all sorts of hang-ups.
00:07:27.200 And then you got the furries, too.
00:07:28.820 He ran right in front of my truck.
00:07:35.720 Just woke up that day and said, you know what?
00:07:37.540 I'm about to get tackled by some cops.
00:07:40.240 Okay.
00:07:41.140 Next one.
00:07:41.680 I like that even as they pull back, he's like, hey, hold on.
00:08:08.180 Before we pull back, before we roll back to go get a burger, just one second.
00:08:12.840 I'm going to start carrying those.
00:08:14.140 What is, is that pepper spray?
00:08:15.480 They're not reacting in pain, so I wonder, it doesn't seem like it is.
00:08:19.400 Maybe it's something less painful.
00:08:20.760 I don't know.
00:08:21.340 Okay, next one.
00:08:21.960 They will kill me if you let this happen.
00:08:26.300 They will kill me if you let this happen.
00:08:32.420 Stop taking pictures and save my life now.
00:08:38.340 Help me!
00:08:39.340 Help me!
00:08:41.740 I am going home!
00:08:45.660 Stop! 1.00
00:08:47.720 Stop! 1.00
00:08:49.880 I will not.
00:08:51.480 I have done nothing wrong with it.
00:08:54.000 I am going to bet that that guy did not get killed.
00:08:58.700 However you feel about that is, I bet that guy is still alive today.
00:09:03.660 I do love, though, that he realized how awful his own side is.
00:09:08.100 His own side is they're just filming the cops.
00:09:10.280 They're monitoring the situation.
00:09:11.600 We're filming.
00:09:12.360 Don't worry.
00:09:12.860 We're filming.
00:09:13.660 He's like, why won't you help me?
00:09:15.100 He's like, because we're too busy filming you.
00:09:17.640 Dwight, please help me.
00:09:18.900 I think I'm going to die.
00:09:20.260 Yeah.
00:09:20.820 Right.
00:09:21.260 And that's going to be great content.
00:09:23.180 Sorry.
00:09:23.640 You got to serve the revolution, buddy.
00:09:25.520 Got to build up.
00:09:26.340 No, you people are horrible.
00:09:27.940 Yeah.
00:09:28.540 Yes, we are.
00:09:29.940 We are.
00:09:30.400 You probably should side with ICE.
00:09:31.780 They're the good guys.
00:09:33.520 Okay, next one.
00:09:34.700 Do you sorry suck and sons of a bitches that think that you're just going to go and arrest 1.00
00:09:40.140 a bunch of protesters because they're out there doing something you're too afraid to
00:09:43.920 fucking do?
00:09:44.800 They're out there fighting for our freedom and they're out there fighting for our right
00:09:48.600 for free speech because.
00:09:49.820 You, all 2,000 of you fucking National Guardsmen, you brave ass fucking soldiers, you think
00:09:56.700 you're going to march in those streets and tell those people to shut the fuck up?
00:10:00.660 That is what you decided to fight for.
00:10:04.180 You chose to defend us against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and you fucking failed.
00:10:09.400 And that's why they're out there on those streets.
00:10:11.460 So who the fuck are you to tell them to shut the fuck up?
00:10:14.760 Why don't you grow a pair, take off your mask, and tell me your fucking name?
00:10:19.100 Because my name is Alex, and I say you.
00:10:22.340 I was just waiting for the pepper spray to come in from the passenger side window.
00:10:26.660 And tell me your fucking name. 0.85
00:10:29.120 That is, that would have made that video so much better.
00:10:32.120 But I knew off the top because, you know, I'm a scientist.
00:10:35.740 I'm an honorary doctor, actually.
00:10:37.600 But I, I'm a scientist, an amateur scientist, and I did an investigation.
00:10:41.780 And it turns out that 100% of women with septum piercings are totally crazy. 0.99
00:10:48.100 100% totally nuts and probably hate their dads.
00:10:51.800 So I did, I was not surprised by any of that.
00:10:56.820 I just wish I had shown up like, hey, ma'am, could you just, could you just roll down your window?
00:11:02.040 Just roll down, ma'am, just roll down your window. 1.00
00:11:05.800 See you next time.
00:11:08.760 Bye.
00:11:10.760 Bye.
00:11:12.760 Bye.
00:11:14.760 Bye.
00:11:16.760 Bye.
