Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - California Announces INDEFINITE Lockdown And People SNAP, w- Peak Prosperity

00:00:00.000 you you

00:01:01.000 super covid we It's here, everybody. 0.72

00:01:19.000 The mutant strain.

00:01:20.000 They're literally calling it Super COVID.

00:01:22.000 It's in California.

00:01:23.000 It's in Colorado.

00:01:24.000 And due to the overwhelming surge sweeping through the hospitals in California, they're announcing the lockdown is now indefinite.

00:01:32.000 It's not just a lockdown.

00:01:33.000 It's a stay-at-home order.

00:01:35.000 People have already started losing it.

00:01:37.000 A group of about 50 maskless people stormed into a store.

00:01:41.000 Furious.

00:01:42.000 And so it seems like COVID's not going anywhere.

00:01:45.000 You know, I know Trump said one day it'll go away.

00:01:48.000 A lot of Republicans were speculating, oh, as soon as, you know, Joe Biden wins, then they're going to claim it's gone.

00:01:53.000 Why would they?

00:01:54.000 I mean, first of all, there's actually a virus called COVID and, you know, people get sick and they die from it.

00:02:00.000 But more importantly, the emergencies empower those, you know, it gives power to the authorities.

00:02:06.000 Declaring an emergency is the easiest way to oppress, suppress, and stay in power.

00:02:10.000 So even if it was this, like, even if, you know, many people were saying that it was going to go away, even if that were true, that's kind of ridiculous because people don't want to give up power.

00:02:18.000 I think the reality is, though, there's a, you know, there's a very serious virus.

00:02:22.000 We've got to take it seriously.

00:02:24.000 But whether or not it makes sense to shut everything down, have the economy be totally destroyed, and cause this mass suffering, I don't believe that actually makes sense.

00:02:33.000 We're trying to slow the spread.

00:02:35.000 We did it as best as we could, but now more and more people are getting sick, and it's because we've always known.

00:02:40.000 They told us, the World Health Organization, various organizations said, we can't stop people from getting sick.

00:02:45.000 We can only slow the spread.

00:02:46.000 Yet now here we are, California saying indefinite lockdown.

00:02:50.000 This was, we were told by the World Health Organization this could be avoided.

00:02:54.000 Apparently it can't be.

00:02:56.000 Or apparently people just, you know, it's convenient for people like Newsome to say, you know, you guys stay home so I don't have to deal with it and then I'll go out and party.

00:03:02.000 And that's the problem.

00:03:03.000 If there really was a very serious issue, assuming there, you know, look, there's a pandemic.

00:03:07.000 It's a very serious issue.

00:03:09.000 The problem we have is our leaders, like, I say our leaders, but you know, certain individuals in office like Cuomo and like Whitmer, like Newsom, they violate COVID lockdown.

00:03:20.000 So why should anyone take them seriously?

00:03:23.000 Why is it that these elites, these political elites, are not scared at all, break their own rules, even Dr. Birx herself from the COVID task force breaking the rules.

00:03:33.000 So we're going to talk a lot about this, and we've got probably one of the best people to talk to about it.

00:03:37.000 Peak Prosperity.

00:03:38.000 You want to introduce yourself more formally, I suppose?

00:03:41.000 Sure.

00:03:42.000 I'm Chris Martinson, Dr. Chris Martinson.

00:03:43.000 I got a Ph.D.

00:03:44.000 in pathology, and I've been covering COVID nonstop since I first figured it out.

00:03:49.000 January 23rd was my first video launch of that, and I've been just diving into the science behind it a lot.

00:03:55.000 And Peak Prosperity is your YouTube channel?

00:03:58.000 It is, and it's also my website.

00:03:59.000 And there we normally talk about where we're going in the economy.

00:04:03.000 For years, for a decade, I've been talking about the Federal Reserve.

00:04:06.000 I've been talking about monetary printing.

00:04:08.000 I've been talking about oil resources, all kinds of stuff, right?

00:04:11.000 But then COVID comes along.

00:04:12.000 I'm like, oh, you know, it's gonna be a bit of a game changer.

00:04:14.000 So I dusted off the old science credentials and dove in.

00:04:18.000 And what a journey it's been.

00:04:19.000 I'm not at all where I started in this story.

00:04:21.000 It's interesting too, just before the show, a couple times you were mentioning that we are running out of resources.

00:04:27.000 So there's serious consideration for what happens to us if we do.

00:04:32.000 Does that imply that there's at least some kind of benefit to a lockdown?

00:04:38.000 You could look at it that way, and I see this pattern happening, right?

00:04:42.000 So climate change comes along, and the story behind climate change is, hey, there's this existential threat, and it's so bad that what we really need to do is stop consuming, you know, we have to stop burning carbon.

00:04:52.000 You hear these crazy plans like, oh, we'll decarbonize 50% by 2030, right? If

00:04:57.000 you did that, the next question you should ask those people who say that is, which

00:05:00.000 half of the people are going to die and which 70% of the jobs are going to go away?

00:05:03.000 That's the question I had for Greta Thunberg. Not literally.

00:05:06.000 I mean, she's just a kid.

00:05:07.000 She doesn't understand.

00:05:08.000 When she said, we want to stop the oil next year.

00:05:13.000 She's like, we don't want to wait until 2050, 2030.

00:05:14.000 We mean next year, 2021 or whatever.

00:05:17.000 I'm like, well, I think the actual calculations from like the World Health Organization is millions would die instantly.

00:05:22.000 So we're going to talk about all this.

00:05:23.000 Chris, great to have you.

00:05:24.000 Luke's also hanging out.

00:05:25.000 Welcome back beautiful and amazing human beings.

00:05:26.000 My name is Luke Rudowsky of the YouTube channel We Are Change.

00:05:30.000 I am super excited about the conversation today.

00:05:32.000 I think it's going to be a very important one.

00:05:35.000 And Tim, it's not just California going under a full lockdown.

00:05:38.000 It's also the United Kingdom that is now expanding its lockdown.

00:05:42.000 And according to some government sources, there are warning that there is a high chance of a full national lockdown in the new year.

00:05:51.000 That's also breaking news happening right now that I just saw in the United Kingdom.

00:05:54.000 Bro, this reminds me of Kingsman.

00:05:56.000 I mentioned this before, but you ever see that movie Kingsman?

00:05:59.000 Mm-hmm.

00:05:59.000 The bad guy, Samuel Jackson, is like, climate change is destroying the planet, so we need all the people to go and, like, fight each other to the death so that the planet survives.

00:06:06.000 Like, when you say that we're running out of resources, then you have these massive lockdowns.

00:06:10.000 I'm like, dude, they're already warning us that in the UK there's gonna be food shortages.

00:06:14.000 It's gonna get crazy.

00:06:15.000 All right, well, we'll save it.

00:06:16.000 We'll talk about stuff.

00:06:17.000 Ian, he's chilling.

00:06:17.000 He's got a special spinning object.

00:06:19.000 Me and my gorilla and this primal youth that Tim got me for Christmas.

00:06:24.000 Dr. Jones.

00:06:24.000 Dr. Jones primal youth.

00:06:26.000 Give it a spin.

00:06:28.000 So we actually are getting some shirts made that says, I am a gorilla, because people keep posting gorilla emojis like nonstop in the chat and they keep saying, I am a gorilla.

00:06:37.000 And so I guess, uh, the gorilla is the show mascot for some reason, at least for now, I guess.

00:06:42.000 It sounds like you said gorilla-ism.

00:06:44.000 Gorilla-ism.

00:06:45.000 Gorilla-ism.

00:06:47.000 Show mascot.

00:06:48.000 Yeah.

00:06:48.000 Uh, Lydia is also producing.

00:06:50.000 She's pushing all the buttons. 1.00

00:06:50.000 I am. 1.00

00:06:51.000 I'm pushing buttons over here in the corner.

00:06:52.000 Well, let's talk about all this stuff.

00:06:54.000 Let's talk about what's going on.

00:06:59.000 We are live every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

00:07:01.000 Check us out on iTunes, Spotify.

00:07:02.000 Leave us a good review.

00:07:03.000 It really does help.

00:07:06.000 Luke, you mentioned the UK, but let's pull up this story from Fox KTVU real quick.

00:07:11.000 Coronavirus surge swamping hospitals prompts indefinite California lockdown.

00:07:17.000 All right, they're going to have to get specific on that.

00:07:19.000 What do you mean indefinite?

00:07:20.000 You mean people are stuck in their homes forever?

00:07:22.000 They say, California's most densely populated area continues to set new death and hospitalization records and will remain under strict stay-home orders for the foreseeable future as another hospital-filling coronavirus surge looms in mere weeks, public health officials said.

00:07:40.000 LA County, which has recorded 40% of all COVID-19 deaths in the state, reported another 227 new deaths on Tuesday.

00:07:47.000 Although the new daily record included reporting from holiday backlogs, the country's public health department also confirmed its highest number of hospitalizations reported in a day at more than 7,000 people, a nearly 1,000% increase from two months ago.

00:08:02.000 California's top health official, Dr. Mark Galley, announced Tuesday an extension of the December 6th lockdown restrictions for the county and 22 others in Southern California and the agricultural San Joaquin Valley.

00:08:14.000 The regions have about 60 percent of the state's population of 40 million and also have seen COVID-19 surges since Thanksgiving, since the Thanksgiving holiday.

00:08:24.000 So they're saying indefinite lockdown.

00:08:37.000 Alright, the first thing is the constitutional question.

00:08:40.000 How do you do that?

00:08:41.000 That clearly violates our rights as American citizens.

00:08:43.000 If people choose to go and assemble somewhere, they have a right to do so.

00:08:47.000 The Constitution doesn't say unless there's an emergency.

00:08:50.000 By what authority do they have to override that?

00:08:51.000 But then here's the other side of that coin.

00:08:53.000 I mean, they're giving us some crazy numbers.

00:08:55.000 We got super COVID now.

00:08:56.000 Gavin Newsom is saying we got the mutated COVID strain.

00:09:00.000 Shouldn't we be scared of these things?

00:09:01.000 Well, we've been hearing about mutant strains for a while now.

00:09:04.000 First, we heard it in the United Kingdom.

00:09:07.000 Then we heard about it in South Africa.

00:09:09.000 Then we heard about it in Nigeria.

00:09:11.000 But also, in April of this year, we heard about 30 other different strains of the coronavirus that happened.

00:09:17.000 I think they're, in Los Angeles personally, facetiously speaking, I think they're just trying to make sure people don't escape before they all get taxed to death.

00:09:25.000 And I think that's one of the possible reasons.

00:09:27.000 They're trying to pass that law where people get taxed even if they leave the state for a certain amount of years.

00:09:36.000 Because again, they've spent all their money and they're in a huge deficit.

00:09:39.000 But I think it's pretty clear now.

00:09:42.000 I don't know if you would agree with me, Chris, that these lockdowns are kind of counterintuitive.

00:09:47.000 Well, they're clubbish and ham-fisted, right?

00:09:50.000 So, here's what we've known for a long time. 0.80

00:09:52.000 Listen, I'm not averse to the idea you say we don't want to swamp our hospital systems.

00:09:56.000 That's not good, right?

00:09:57.000 Motorcycle victims don't get the treatment they need.

00:09:59.000 Cancer patients can't go in for treatment.

00:10:00.000 I get that.

00:10:00.000 And real quick, you're a doctor.

00:10:02.000 You have a PhD.

00:10:03.000 Yes, in medical.

00:10:04.000 I went to Duke University and got a degree in pathology.

00:10:07.000 Okay, all right.

00:10:08.000 Well, tell us what's going on.

00:10:09.000 You're the expert.

00:10:11.000 If you're going to do a lockdown, first up, here's what we know.

00:10:13.000 If I was going to draw a chart for you, I would say, you'd say, okay, who gets hit by this?

00:10:18.000 Who dies?

00:10:19.000 You have an exponentially increasing risk of death by age.

00:10:23.000 So if you were going to do a lockdown, you'd say, we're going to lock down the old people, right? 1.00

00:10:26.000 Not the young people. 1.00

00:10:27.000 The chance of dying from this, if you're under the age of 30 is minuscule, really, really tiny.

00:10:34.000 So I think something, a lockdown is everybody.

00:10:37.000 Why is it everybody?

00:10:38.000 You would think that somewhere along the way, you can say, well, let's be clever about this.

00:10:41.000 Let's take the people with comorbidities.

00:10:42.000 Let's take the people who are immunocompromised.

00:10:44.000 Let's take the elderly. 0.95

00:10:46.000 And let's keep them safe.

00:10:47.000 Right.

00:10:47.000 That would be part one.

00:10:48.000 If you just on the subject of lockdowns, which isn't even getting me on the idea that we still to this day, the NIH has zero outpatient treatments identified.

00:10:57.000 They just say, go home.

00:10:58.000 And if you feel worse, come back.

00:10:59.000 And if it's bad enough, we'll put you in the hospital.

00:11:00.000 That is literally, as of this morning, what was on the NIH website.

00:11:03.000 There's actually a good friend of mine got sick recently.

00:11:06.000 I was talking to him on the phone and they told me that they went to the doctor.

00:11:10.000 The doctor told me they had COVID and just go home and deal with it.

00:11:13.000 Yep.

00:11:14.000 And they were like, uh, I don't think I have COVID.

00:11:17.000 Like, you know, they thought they had strep throat, something, you know, they've had before and they needed antibiotics for, but the doctor said, no, no, we're going to treat it as COVID.

00:11:25.000 Just go home.

00:11:26.000 And if you get worse than, you know, call back.

00:11:27.000 And that was it.

00:11:28.000 That's it.

00:11:28.000 That's standard of care right now.

00:11:30.000 And it's criminal as far as I'm concerned, because there are things that people can do.

00:11:34.000 So for quick example, we've known since March, vitamin D, it's really more of a hormone, but vitamin D, the stuff you get if you go out into the sun, right, which is hard to do in a lockdown when you're all stuck inside, right?

00:11:44.000 But that stuff alone, we've had a Spanish study which showed that of people who are in critical condition, they measured their blood levels and they said, how much vitamin D do they have?

00:11:53.000 So they discovered that people with lower than 17 nanograms per mil of vitamin D in their blood were 80% of their critical COVID patients.

00:12:01.000 Nobody with vitamin D above 21 nanograms per mil was even showing up in their critical ICU.

00:12:06.000 So they said, wow, let's do a study.

00:12:08.000 And they started giving this to people when they showed up at the hospital and they cut deaths and they cut hospitalizations.

00:12:13.000 Just vitamin D. And I want to make one thing absolutely clear.

00:12:16.000 We're not here to give anybody medical advice.

00:12:18.000 Talk to your doctor because you're going to hear a lot of things from a lot of people in a lot of different places.

00:12:23.000 We've got serious criticism of Dr. Fauci now because he's changed his numbers on herd immunity.

00:12:29.000 He was the one who initially said, you know, don't wear masks.

00:12:32.000 So look, I'm here to say this.

00:12:34.000 I don't care if you're left, right, up, down, whatever.

00:12:37.000 It's your doctor who knows what's best for you.

00:12:39.000 So take that seriously and we'll give our opinions.

00:12:41.000 And do your own research, do your own homework.

00:12:43.000 I mean, I personally decided to take vitamin D myself, but I know there's a chance of taking too much of it as well.

00:12:49.000 And I know that you should also get your blood tested to make sure that your levels are normal and not either too low or too high.

00:12:56.000 Because even if it's too high, it could be dangerous for you. And one of the one of the

00:12:59.000 big issues I think we see that it sort of exacerbates a lot of censorship is that

00:13:04.000 people will go online and they'll learn about something maybe even like vitamin D

00:13:08.000 and then they might make take too much. That's why I got to talk to your doctor.

00:13:11.000 Your doctor is gonna know better than we will about you. So but anyway I digress.

00:13:15.000 Well even Dr. Fauci admitted he finally that he's taking vitamin D on his own

00:13:19.000 right and he but he said that to Jennifer Garner so he might have been a little

00:13:21.000 starstruck he was on her blog. Log right and she said what are you taking? He

00:13:25.000 said well I'm taking vitamin D you know and so here's the you know the people

00:13:28.000 the person that people are nominally looking to the most right.

00:13:32.000 Yeah.

00:13:32.000 What is the downside for somebody like that to say, here's what I'm doing.

00:13:36.000 You might consider it too, but talk to your doctor.

00:13:37.000 Yeah.

00:13:38.000 And well, I want to make sure I pull this up.

00:13:40.000 Dr. Fauci from CNBC.com is recommending vitamin D. So there you go.

00:13:44.000 Yeah.

00:13:45.000 He could have done that in March.

00:13:47.000 That would have been nice.

00:13:48.000 This is September.

00:13:49.000 You know, the scary thing is there hasn't been a conversation about health.

00:13:52.000 There hasn't been a conversation about vitamins, about diets, about exercise, about sleep, about stress, about exercise.

00:13:59.000 There hasn't been real conversations about things that actually matter that will have a huge tremendous effect on what we're dealing with right now.

00:14:05.000 That's fat shaming?

00:14:08.000 Okay?

00:14:09.000 I made a video about the fatties today.

00:14:09.000 And ableist.

00:14:12.000 Not people are going to like that, but I think it's important to bring up the reality of the situation so people understand what they're getting themselves into.

00:14:19.000 It's a comorbidity.

00:14:20.000 Yes.

00:14:20.000 Obesity was a big factor.

00:14:21.000 And obesity is dramatically going up in the United States.

00:14:25.000 Some would say as a byproduct of the industry buying off the government and of course implementing a lot of policies that have been very hurtful.

00:14:32.000 And it's kind of strange that now a government that absolutely... What industry though?

00:14:36.000 I mean, we're talking about industries like Monsanto and the fast food industry and the sugar industry.

00:14:40.000 When you look at their impact on the market, when you look at their impact on human life, you see a huge, I would say, in my opinion, a detrimental impact that should be addressed, they should be held accountable for.

00:14:53.000 But the larger point that I was trying to kind of point to and make here, Is that we're kind of left in the dark, and we don't know what to do, because when you even talk about this stuff, you risk getting censored and banned, which is absolutely ridiculous.

00:15:08.000 And you know why?

00:15:08.000 The way the censorship works, it's not like there's a doctor at YouTube who's got like a checklist of the appropriate response, CDC guidelines, going like, what did he talk about?

00:15:19.000 He talked about, that's okay, we approve of that, we approve it.

00:15:21.000 No, it's like some 20-year-old dude going like, He's talking about medicine.

00:15:25.000 Like, he's not a doctor.

00:15:26.000 I'm gonna ban those. 0.91

00:15:28.000 Even when you are a doctor.

00:15:29.000 Even doctors are getting banned.

00:15:30.000 Yeah.

00:15:30.000 I know, I know.

00:15:32.000 Did you get hit or something like that?

00:15:34.000 I did.

00:15:34.000 I got a YouTube strike.

00:15:37.000 You're not a medical... Are you a medical doctor?

00:15:39.000 No, you're not.

00:15:39.000 No.

00:15:40.000 But you have a doctorate in pathology.

00:15:42.000 Yeah, and I'm eminently qualified to read reports and analyze them.

00:15:45.000 But in this case, all I was doing, there was a Senate testimony of a board-certified doctor who's in critical care, Dr. Corey, and he was giving Senate testimony.

00:15:53.000 Basically, the headline of it is, I can't keep doing this anymore.

00:15:56.000 Those are his words.

00:15:58.000 And what he meant was he couldn't watch people come into his critical care pulmonary center and die because he knew they didn't have to because he'd seen all this data, all this data coming in from all over the world saying there are things we can do.

00:16:09.000 And that was his testimony.

00:16:11.000 So I thought, well, let me review that for people.

00:16:13.000 And that's all I did.

00:16:14.000 I reviewed a board certified doctor's testimony, but that was deemed medical disinformation.

00:16:19.000 I think there's a, if I were to take a simple, if I was to assume the simple reason as to why YouTube is so incredibly censorious is that they're scared of the media.

00:16:30.000 Because when, this all started when the Wall Street Journal smeared PewDiePie.

00:16:34.000 Then all of a sudden their advertisers just dropped off.

00:16:37.000 And YouTube already is burning a hole in the pocket of Google, losing money.

00:16:40.000 So they're just like, whatever the media says, we'll do.

00:16:43.000 And so you get activists in media who will find any reason to accuse you of wrongdoing.

00:16:49.000 And they've even removed... Rand Paul was giving a speech on the Senate floor on C-SPAN.

00:16:53.000 YouTube deleted it.

00:16:55.000 YouTube took the video down because, oh no, we can't have that.

00:16:57.000 They're more worried about the negative public perception from media companies than allowing people to have this conversation, to hear this testimony.

00:17:05.000 Was it Dr. Corey, you said his name was?

00:17:08.000 Yeah, Dr. Corey.

00:17:09.000 Peter Corey.

00:17:10.000 He was testifying to Congress, and that's not allowed anymore, I guess.

00:17:15.000 So we're, you know, I kind of feel like it's like, I don't know if you guys ever see one of those cartoons where they're on a mountainside, like driving on a road along a cliff, and then the car's like turning and the wheels are on the edge.

00:17:24.000 That's what we're kind of getting into here, but you know, hey, whatever, so be it.

00:17:28.000 Well, you saw Rand Paul's dad, Ron Paul, got a ding.

00:17:30.000 He got a YouTube strike.

00:17:32.000 Well, I'm sorry, it's Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul.

00:17:32.000 Really?

00:17:36.000 Ron Paul's the original.

00:17:37.000 I know, Ron Paul, the original.

00:17:38.000 The original Paul, yes.

00:17:40.000 The original for COVID?

00:17:41.000 Talking about COVID?

00:17:43.000 He covered a Trump rally and he also got dinged with medical disinformation as the ding.

00:17:47.000 He's literally a doctor.

00:17:49.000 He was an OBGYN, right?

00:17:49.000 I know.

00:17:50.000 Yeah.

00:17:51.000 I love it!

00:17:52.000 What?

00:17:53.000 And it's crazy, man.

00:17:54.000 Breitbart, This is amazing.

00:17:57.000 Breitbart was certified as credible by NewsGuard, which is like a Microsoft-funded news credibility rating system.

00:18:07.000 But then they filmed a press conference put on by a Republican representative and some doctors, and that was deemed enough to strike them down as not credible.

00:18:17.000 They didn't even say anything.

00:18:18.000 They just filmed other people talking at the Capitol with a politician.

00:18:22.000 But this is the bigger problem here that we really need to realize.

00:18:25.000 The official line that they're going with keeps flip-flopping every week.

00:18:31.000 Whether it's the World Health Organization or the CDC, they literally contradict themselves so many times and haven't come out with any concrete legitimate information that has been consistent. I don't

00:18:41.000 know about you, but I have a very hard time thinking that a government that never gave a damn about my

00:18:47.000 health somehow now is it's their number one priority. I think there's a lot of room to be

00:18:51.000 skeptical here. But again, there's no consistency here. We don't know what the official line

00:18:55.000 is because it keeps changing.

00:18:56.000 I don't think the government cares about anything.

00:19:01.000 I think there's one thing, collectively, that's on the minds of politicians and bureaucrats.

00:19:05.000 It's, what will I do that's over the line that results in torches and pitchforks?

00:19:10.000 That's the thing, right?

00:19:11.000 That's the, like, it's, are the people gonna protest and rabble? 0.79

00:19:13.000 Because protests, mostly, I'll tell you this, non-violence of disobedience works, but I don't think they care anymore.

00:19:19.000 Because the way I described it, you know, earlier this year, you're only allowed to say bad things.

00:19:26.000 There's no conversation where we can be like, hey, we have good news.

00:19:29.000 A doctor said these things.

00:19:30.000 It's it's upbeat.

00:19:30.000 It's positive.

00:19:31.000 It's it's a light at the end of the tunnel.

00:19:33.000 They ban you for it.

00:19:34.000 They ban you for it.

00:19:34.000 You talk about this country brought up these treatments.

00:19:37.000 Oh, Trump is crazy. 1.00

00:19:38.000 He's lying. 1.00

00:19:38.000 He's wrong. 1.00

00:19:39.000 I would say I could say something like, you know, TechCrunch reported that ZPAC You know, hydroxychloroquine was showing promising results in a French study, and then a smear piece comes out claiming, you know, using twisted framing.

00:19:53.000 Tim Pool claims that studies prove blah blah blah, but that's not true, even though it's like, you know, they'll try and make sure you can't say anything positive.

00:20:00.000 So what ends up happening is all the news that comes out is super COVID is here, hospitals are overrun, everyone's, you know, sick and dying, it's getting worse, it's worse, it's worse, it's worse.

00:20:09.000 And so then everyone just keeps getting more and more scared.

00:20:12.000 And that results in the snowball rolling down the hill of the story only going crazier and crazier.

00:20:17.000 Because imagine this.

00:20:20.000 Right now, what we know is there are many hospitals that are being overrun.

00:20:24.000 We see the photos and the videos of the nurses there, and their faces, and the marks on their face from the PPE, and they're tired, and their hair's all messed up.

00:20:33.000 Most hospitals, it's my understanding, are actually okay.

00:20:36.000 There's tons of videos of hospitals that have not been overrun, and that's because hotspots are centralized in certain areas.

00:20:42.000 But we're not getting video after video after video of hospitals that are okay.

00:20:45.000 We're getting video after video after video of hospitals that are doing worse.

00:20:49.000 And then we're getting videos of nurses dancing.

00:20:50.000 I guess that's kind of the positive, I suppose.

00:20:53.000 Glad they have time for that.

00:20:56.000 The main point I'm trying to make is, if the only thing you ever hear and are allowed to hear is that things are getting worse, you don't actually know, like there's no balance to this conversation.

00:21:07.000 Is there a chance for optimism?

00:21:10.000 Can't tell you that because we'll be censored if we do.

00:21:12.000 That's where we're at.

00:21:13.000 Yeah, and as a scientist, this actually bothers me a lot, this whole idea that there is a central body, that there's an agreed-upon set of facts that we know.

00:21:20.000 We don't know crap about this at this point in time, right?

00:21:23.000 So here what we know, it's a novel coronavirus.

00:21:25.000 Can I even say this, you know?

00:21:26.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:27.000 I can say that word?

00:21:28.000 A novel coronavirus?

00:21:29.000 You can say coronavirus.

00:21:30.000 A novel coronavirus?

00:21:31.000 I can do that?

00:21:31.000 You can say that, yes.

00:21:32.000 I mean, look, look, look, if we get banned, whatever.

00:21:35.000 So it's novel, which means we have to try some things, right?

00:21:38.000 And the whole thing about Dr. Corey and his testimony, he said, look, We don't need the latest whiz-bang stuff out of pharma.

00:21:44.000 But we have a hundred years of medical and medicine development, and we have things that work.

00:21:44.000 That'd be great.

00:21:48.000 And by the way, we try things all the time off-label.

00:21:50.000 We try things for other things, and they work all the time.

00:21:53.000 In fact, we do all sorts of off-label stuff already with kids.

00:21:57.000 You give them, like, you know, SSRIs and all that stuff.

00:21:59.000 That's off-label, right?

00:22:00.000 Aren't there, like, medications that have a side effect of weight loss that they prescribe to people to lose weight?

00:22:04.000 Like, isn't there stuff like that, too?

00:22:06.000 That's off-label, right?

00:22:07.000 Yeah, and everything has a side effect, you know, everything, water, take too much, you have a side effects.

00:22:12.000 But I would just think that at some point this whole idea, we can't have that positive news, isn't the nation just like ready for some of that relief?

00:22:19.000 Wouldn't they be just, wouldn't everybody just be kicking their heels up if we said, we can, there's something that some doctors are saying is really effective.

00:22:27.000 And by the way, there's a lot of them that's better than go home and come back to the hospital if you feel worse.

00:22:32.000 If it bleeds, it leads.

00:22:34.000 So, Lady just pulled this up. 1.00

00:22:35.000 This is from fortune.com.

00:22:36.000 U.S.

00:22:37.000 news coverage of COVID has been more negative than in other countries researchers find.

00:22:42.000 And that's a fact.

00:22:43.000 Like you mentioned, you got a strike on YouTube, and Ron Paul did as well.

00:22:49.000 And you are a PhD pathologist, and Rand Paul is literally a doctor.

00:22:54.000 Well, I should say he's retired.

00:22:56.000 But, man, how crazy is that?

00:22:58.000 So I started reporting again, January 23rd.

00:23:02.000 Within a couple of weeks, maybe a week and a half or so, my wiki page, which had been up for over a decade, got yanked, got taken down.

00:23:09.000 And the complaint was that I was talking about things that were out of my wheelhouse, that I had no authority, that in fact, I wasn't a practicing scientist and all this stuff.

00:23:17.000 Now, I'm a published scientist and it's true, I've been doing other things besides, you know, conducting science for a while, but that doesn't invalidate the training or the degree or what I know.

00:23:24.000 Have the papers that you've gotten published in scientific journals been invalidated or removed?

00:23:32.000 It's all currently standing science.

00:23:33.000 It is, yes.

00:23:34.000 Well, this happens in many different instances in many different kind of areas.

00:23:38.000 For me, personally, they got me because I didn't believe in the Russian collusion after Donald Trump's victory when he first won the presidency.

00:23:45.000 And they delisted me.

00:23:46.000 They depersoned me on Wikipedia and said that this is a person that shouldn't even be mentioned or referenced no matter what he does, no matter what news he breaks.

00:23:53.000 They're trying so hard.

00:23:55.000 I'll tell you, there's been a lot of attempts at somehow finding a way to smear me, because I'm fairly boring, you know, tepid commentary for the most part.

00:24:07.000 But there was an article I read from Fox Business about Seth Rich, and then there was a statement from Kidden.com.

00:24:14.000 They claimed that by talking about it and arguing that it wasn't definitive, I was pushing a conspiracy theory, and then NBC writes that and airs on TV.

00:24:25.000 I'm a conspiracy theorist, and then all of a sudden a bunch of other outlets just repeat it without any basis, any fact-checking, any sourcing at all, even though I'm the one who's constantly raining on all the parades of these people saying it's probably not true, Occam's Razor, Simple Solution, and I don't believe in any of this stuff.

00:24:40.000 Doesn't matter.

00:24:41.000 They need to find a way to discredit you and take you down.

00:24:44.000 I'm surprised they outright deleted your Wikipedia page.

00:24:46.000 That's bold, but that's one way to do it.

00:24:48.000 Because no one's... I think one of the issues is, who's gonna write negative things about you and what's their grounds to do it?

00:24:54.000 Right?

00:24:55.000 You're a published scientist giving your thoughts and opinions.

00:24:58.000 Quick, get rid of them. 0.99

00:24:59.000 Because if they can't smear you and find a way to do it, they have to just get rid of you, right?

00:25:03.000 So I wasn't big enough to not be gotten rid of, right?

00:25:03.000 Right.

00:25:06.000 You have to be big enough so that it makes too much of a stink, you know?

00:25:09.000 So I think...

00:25:11.000 Already by early February, this means that there was a very serious attempt at message control.

00:25:16.000 And my view was, remember at the time, like New York Times, Washington Post, they're all saying, oh, it's just the flu.

00:25:21.000 It's no worse than the flu.

00:25:22.000 And I was like, no, this is totally different.

00:25:24.000 Here's some of the virology behind it.

00:25:25.000 This thing has got a lot of keys into the human locks.

00:25:28.000 And it's a little bizarre.

00:25:29.000 And I was saying, we need to take this really seriously.

00:25:32.000 And at the time, I was totally in conflict with the WHO because they were saying, well, we shouldn't shut down travel.

00:25:37.000 And that's I was just reading their own pandemic handbook.

00:25:39.000 That's what I was sourcing from.

00:25:41.000 And I was saying, no, that's actually step one.

00:25:42.000 You you stop travel.

00:25:44.000 Even George Washington, when he was facing a huge outbreak of smallpox, first thing he did was he stopped people traveling to and from his army.

00:25:44.000 Of course you do.

00:25:51.000 Didn't he write letters telling people to get vaccinated, too?

00:25:55.000 They had some like that little stick thing that they could do.

00:25:58.000 Yeah, there was like a letter going around where George Washington was apparently like, get the smallpox vaccine.

00:26:02.000 That was my first moment.

00:26:03.000 I'm a scientist.

00:26:03.000 I'm trying to share data.

00:26:04.000 I think this is interesting.

00:26:05.000 It could help people get prepared.

00:26:07.000 You know, I was telling people get PPE, N95 masks way before they got sold out, all that.

00:26:11.000 But then I'm confused.

00:26:12.000 I'm like, how is the WHO getting, like, its own handbook for this wrong?

00:26:15.000 And then my Wikipedia page gets taken down, and then I've just run... My YouTube subscriber count was just skyrocketing, and it leveled off the day I mentioned hydroxychloroquine, and it's been literally plus or minus 1,000 for eight months.

00:26:28.000 It's just flat.

00:26:28.000 At 365,000.

00:26:29.000 That's the way it works, man.

00:26:32.000 Well, we also have to remember during that specific time, it wasn't just the World Health Organization going against their own guidelines.

00:26:32.000 Yep.

00:26:39.000 It was also many politicians in the mainstream media saying it's xenophobic to stop travel, that it's racist to stop travel, and then politicians told you to go to the Chinese Day Parade and to go celebrate to show that everyone's not racist.

00:26:52.000 Come on down to Chinatown, don't be racist.

00:26:54.000 So here's where this all leads us to, because we talk a lot about the hypocrisy and stuff. 0.96

00:26:59.000 It leads to people finally having enough.

00:27:02.000 We got the stories from the Daily Mail.

00:27:03.000 50 maskless anti-lockdown protesters force their way into LA supermarket after California extends regional stay-at-home order indefinitely amid 1,000% spike in hospitalizations.

00:27:15.000 They say police responded to calls about an unruly crowd at the Erewhon Market in LA's Fairfax District on Tuesday afternoon.

00:27:23.000 Dozens of maskless people were filmed shoving their way into the store.

00:27:26.000 The protesters berated staffers demanding that they cover their faces.

00:27:30.000 What?

00:27:32.000 We just want to shop.

00:27:33.000 We don't take our own precautions that we've been doing all our lives and we'll all be fine, an organizer of the demonstration said.

00:27:38.000 The incident came as Governor Gavin Newsom extended stay-at-home order in the Southern California region.

00:27:43.000 County has become one of the nation's worst hotspots in recent weeks.

00:27:43.000 L.A.

00:27:47.000 Hospitalizations in the county have grown tenfold in the last two months.

00:27:52.000 Check out this photo.

00:27:53.000 I mean, you guys can't see it, but for those that are watching, you can.

00:27:56.000 It says a crowd of about 50 maskless anti-lockdown protesters shoving their way into a store.

00:28:02.000 You got a lot of people, man.

00:28:03.000 I'll tell you.

00:28:04.000 I don't know if you remember seeing the videos from earlier in the year of the stores being stripped clean.

00:28:04.000 I don't know.

00:28:08.000 I mean, first of all, toilet paper was the first to go.

00:28:10.000 I think my favorite video was when everyone runs full speed and they're wrestling over toilet paper.

00:28:14.000 It's so weird, man.

00:28:16.000 Like, if you're worried... I guess they weren't worried about the pandemic.

00:28:19.000 They're just worried about wiping their butts. 0.98

00:28:21.000 For real. 0.98

00:28:22.000 All right.

00:28:23.000 You know what?

00:28:23.000 I'd run for the food and the bottled water.

00:28:25.000 Like, if I... if I... if everyone runs... breaks for the toilet paper, I'm gonna... I'm gonna go get some produce and some canned goods.

00:28:30.000 I don't know.

00:28:31.000 But anyway, I digress.

00:28:33.000 The other day we heard a lady beat a cop with her own baton because she was told to wear a mask.

00:28:38.000 A Navy vet bashed a guy at a bar over the head with a bottle for being told to wear a mask.

00:28:42.000 Now you've got these people storming their way into a supermarket saying we want to shop.

00:28:46.000 So what happens when people start running out of food?

00:28:49.000 Because it's gonna happen.

00:28:51.000 I mean, people aren't working.

00:28:53.000 California's making the lockdown crazier. 0.92

00:28:55.000 You combine that with the hypocrisy.

00:28:57.000 You combine that with people who earlier in the year were saying one thing and doing another, and now they've flipped 180. 0.68

00:29:03.000 And if you repeat the same thing the Surgeon General said earlier this year about masks, or Fauci did, well, they'll nuke you.

00:29:10.000 They'll get rid of your account, they'll get rid of your channel.

00:29:13.000 If you say it's xenophobic to ban travel, oh, you're gone, but they said all of that.

00:29:17.000 When they decide it, and it's not even Republicans, it's mostly Democrats, when they decide to say it, it's fine, no matter what it is they say.

00:29:24.000 That's where we're at right now.

00:29:26.000 People can see that, you know, you've got, uh, uh, Murphy in New Jersey went out to eat and got, got, got harassed by, or you got berated by some people.

00:29:34.000 You've got Whitmer went to get her hair cut.

00:29:36.000 Uh, you know, uh, Lori Lightfoot, you've got Nancy Pelosi, you got Newsome violating COVID lockdowns. 1.00

00:29:41.000 I wonder these people.

00:29:43.000 Their loved ones are dying.

00:29:45.000 They can't go out and they can't see them.

00:29:46.000 They can't be in the hospital with them.

00:29:47.000 Their children are being born.

00:29:48.000 Can't be in the hospital with them either.

00:29:50.000 I've seen tons of comments from people saying, you know, my parent or, you know, grandparent has been in the hospital with cancer or some illness and it's been weeks and they're deteriorating.

00:29:57.000 No one can see them or visit them.

00:29:58.000 And then what do we get?

00:30:00.000 The politicians are breaking their own rules.

00:30:02.000 Dr. Birx on the task force violates COVID restrictions that she's, the advice she's given, goes visits her family, takes photos.

00:30:11.000 And then insult to injury.

00:30:12.000 The nurses get on camera and choreograph dances and shuffle about in a place where people are dying in mass.

00:30:19.000 Eventually, I think the people are going to kick the doors into these supermarkets to start taking stuff.

00:30:23.000 And it's probably going to get crazier than that.

00:30:25.000 People are going to start, just, this law is going to start breaking down.

00:30:29.000 I mean, it already is.

00:30:30.000 Well, there's a... When I'm talking with somebody and we're sharing opinions, People can get, you know, passionate about it, but still you're just met with an opinion doesn't really go off the rails when you're talking about it.

00:30:43.000 But when somebody's beliefs are challenged, emotions flare up.

00:30:46.000 So I think what's actually happening is these people are finally discovering that, you know, we held a belief that we're a country, we're a country of people, we're decent, we're hardworking.

00:30:54.000 We have this American dream story, right?

00:30:56.000 And that our leaders are really there for us, you know, in some way, I guess went deep down, but this is COVID has stripped something bare.

00:31:03.000 Which is that our leaders don't care at all about us.

00:31:06.000 And probably the most shocking, grotesque display, and there have been many, has to be this most recent stimulus bill, right?

00:31:13.000 $600 for everybody earning 75 grand or less, right?

00:31:17.000 So that, you add it up, that's about 90 billion dollars out of 900.

00:31:20.000 That's 10% going to people, right?

00:31:23.000 Who have been out of work!

00:31:25.000 for months after months after months after months.

00:31:28.000 So what do you do with six hundred bucks after you've been out of work for, you know, eight months?

00:31:31.000 Not a lot, right?

00:31:32.000 Do you pay your your overdue cable bill or your cell phone or what do you do with that?

00:31:37.000 And then they put.

00:31:37.000 Right.

00:31:39.000 Ninety percent of that goes to, like, Israel and Egypt.

00:31:43.000 One point three billion is going to Egypt.

00:31:46.000 Seven hundred million is going to Sudan.

00:31:48.000 Four hundred fifty three million is going to Ukraine.

00:31:50.000 And then five hundred million is going to Israel.

00:31:53.000 So, to just clarify, $200 billion of the $2.3 trillion Omnibus is going to be dispersed as stimulus payments.

00:32:02.000 The next $200 billion, and then there's $700 billion that's going to be dispersed in other kinds of economic relief, like the Paycheck Protection Program and things like that.

00:32:14.000 Then you get the omnibus spending bill which was a ton of it is like general spending programs but a lot of them are ridiculous like what's the what's the lizards on on treadmills or whatever and the Pakistani gender programs I don't care what the number is you know we're we're at a point where our economy has been decimated When we're unable to work and survive, why would you give any money? 0.99

00:32:37.000 Could you imagine?

00:32:37.000 Let me just give you an analogy.

00:32:38.000 Could you imagine you get fired from your job, right?

00:32:40.000 And you've got a savings of a couple grand, and your rent is like a thousand bucks a month.

00:32:44.000 And you're like, well, I could probably last about two months.

00:32:46.000 I'm gonna give my money to my neighbor.

00:32:47.000 He seems hungry.

00:32:48.000 Or you're gonna be like, I'm gonna give away a thousand dollars of my money for my savings so my neighbor can take a gender studies class at a local college.

00:32:55.000 Uh-huh.

00:32:56.000 Who in their right mind would do that?

00:32:58.000 When they said a $2.3 trillion we're gonna get, does that mean that we are gonna borrow $2.3 trillion from the Federal Reserve?

00:33:07.000 So the run rate of their spend right now is run rate on an annualized basis close to $10 trillion, and total income is around $4 trillion.

00:33:16.000 So they're spending, not all of that will be borrowed.

00:33:19.000 Some of that comes in in income taxes, some of it comes in in social security taxes, FICA, stuff like that.

00:33:24.000 But by far, the majority of it's being borrowed right now.

00:33:27.000 Do you know how much of it's being borrowed?

00:33:29.000 Who does it get borrowed from?

00:33:30.000 How do they borrow it?

00:33:32.000 Well, the Treasury conducts an auction, and this is a very simple magician trick, right?

00:33:36.000 The Federal Reserve is not directly monetizing debt, because that would be banana republics. 0.98

00:33:39.000 What happens is, one of the 23 primary dealers, JPMorgan, etc., they go in and they buy these things, and then the Federal Reserve buys it from them.

00:33:47.000 And, of course, they take a little cut, you know, a little skim, a couple basis points, they take a little vig.

00:33:51.000 So that's how it works. But if you follow the action, the Federal Reserve is literally buying

00:33:55.000 fresh U.S. paper the same day in many cases. Right. So it's just one step to make it look

00:34:02.000 like it's not what it is, which is the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air and our

00:34:05.000 government spends it. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme. Well, so what's the long term effect of that?

00:34:10.000 The long term effect is money is, let's be clear, money, it's just a, it's a, it's a social agreement.

00:34:17.000 It's just a, it's a claim on something.

00:34:18.000 There's, you know, the paper in Luke's notebook, you know, we say it's just paper, but this other paper has value, or these ones and zeros on this hard disk mean this, but not that over there.

00:34:28.000 So money is just this thing that we all agree has value.

00:34:31.000 The long-term effect of just printing, printing, printing is you take from everybody.

00:34:36.000 By last time I went to the grocery store, first time I ever had a $500 grocery bill, right?

00:34:41.000 And I could easily carry the whole thing, right?

00:34:44.000 And they tell me constantly, there's no inflation, but I know there is.

00:34:48.000 And my health care, which I have to buy as a small business owner, it goes up reliably 10-20% every year.

00:34:54.000 Let me tell everybody a trick you can do right now.

00:34:56.000 Go on Amazon.com, select some electronics, put them into your cart, and then don't buy them.

00:35:03.000 Close the browser.

00:35:04.000 Come back in a week.

00:35:05.000 You'll get a notification.

00:35:06.000 Happened to me.

00:35:07.000 I was gonna buy a tablet and I forgot.

00:35:09.000 Opened it up a day or two later and it said price change 500 to 650.

00:35:12.000 The cost went up.

00:35:15.000 To clarify how we're borrowing this money.

00:35:17.000 So the U.S.

00:35:18.000 government will be like, we're going to borrow a trillion from the Federal Reserve.

00:35:21.000 But what they'll do is the Federal Reserve will loan a trillion to J.P.

00:35:24.000 Morgan or one of 23 banks, middlemen, and then the bank will loan it to the U.S.

00:35:28.000 government?

00:35:29.000 Not exactly like that.

00:35:31.000 So the Treasury Department puts out, let's say, a trillion dollars of Treasury bills, right?

00:35:36.000 Three-year notes, five-year notes, 10-year notes, whatever they are, 30-day bills.

00:35:39.000 But they put a trillion bucks out.

00:35:41.000 And then people bid for them in these competitive auctions.

00:35:44.000 Almost all of that goes to these big banks.

00:35:47.000 The big banks are buying it with cash they have kicking around, most of which they got from the Federal Reserve.

00:35:51.000 Different mechanism.

00:35:52.000 But that's real cash.

00:35:53.000 And then the Federal Reserve takes real cash and wires it into their accounts and takes those assets, those debt instruments, off their hands.

00:36:00.000 So the Federal Reserve is holding a bunch of U.S.

00:36:02.000 Treasury bills?

00:36:02.000 Yeah, a ton.

00:36:03.000 Trillions.

00:36:04.000 Can we default on that?

00:36:07.000 Not if you have a printing press.

00:36:08.000 It's very hard to do.

00:36:09.000 So this is what has really been running, and it's going to hit everybody really hard, and I think it's going to hit us really bad in the next few years.

00:36:16.000 And it's a direct consequence of all this printing, and it's this.

00:36:19.000 The Federal Reserve, my statement about them is they're what I call a reverse Robin Hood organization.

00:36:24.000 They print a lot of money.

00:36:25.000 The people who get their hands on it first, through something called the Cantillon effect, if you're closest to it, like if I'm the Federal Reserve, Luke, you're sitting there, and I print a bunch, a trillion dollars, you get it first, because you're the big bank in line.

00:36:36.000 You then spend that on whatever you want, and by the time it trickles out to the rest of the people, stakes are, you know, $18 a pound and whatever, right?

00:36:43.000 Because of that, what happens is, you find that as a little person, your bank account, it doesn't buy as much anymore.

00:36:49.000 Your purchasing power went away.

00:36:51.000 But where'd it go?

00:36:52.000 That's where'd it go.

00:36:54.000 That's the mechanism, the Mandrake mechanism, the sleight of hand.

00:36:58.000 So everybody in the nation, all 320 million, lose a little bit of purchasing power from their bank accounts.

00:37:04.000 But it's an economic axiom.

00:37:06.000 It had to go somewhere.

00:37:08.000 Where'd it go?

00:37:10.000 If you follow the story, it went to the billionaires, the trillionaires, the elites.

00:37:13.000 They got all of that.

00:37:14.000 So that's why I call the Federal Reserve the reverse Robin Hood, because they take from the many to give to the few.

00:37:19.000 And when you look at the purchasing... And that makes people pissed off.

00:37:21.000 Oh yeah, when they realize what's going on.

00:37:23.000 Because sadly, a lot of people don't realize what's going on and they're like, yes, government, give me my $600 or my $2,000 immediately.

00:37:31.000 And they think it literally comes out of thin air.

00:37:33.000 You pay for it in one way or another.

00:37:33.000 It doesn't.

00:37:35.000 Your children are going to be paying for it.

00:37:37.000 And if you look at the purchasing power of the dollar from 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, You will be absolutely shocked to understand how fast the value of the dollar is going down.

00:37:50.000 Even just recently, as you mentioned, in the supermarket, I'm even seeing it and it's scary stuff.

00:37:56.000 I remember when I was a kid and a candy bar cost $0.40.

00:37:59.000 I know.

00:38:00.000 Dude, I used to buy penny candy.

00:38:01.000 That was a thing.

00:38:03.000 And then sell it for $0.05 in front of my house.

00:38:06.000 Then they went up to $0.02.

00:38:08.000 I remember that.

00:38:09.000 They went from $0.01 to $0.02 in like the course of a year and then they were $0.05.

00:38:14.000 That's 100% inflation.

00:38:14.000 That's inflation.

00:38:16.000 So think about it this way.

00:38:18.000 The important thing to understand about this is, if you make 10 bucks an hour with inflation, with this mass printing of money, we've effectively just lowered the minimum wage, basically, in terms of buying power.

00:38:29.000 Of course, everybody's value is stripped, even the business owners.

00:38:33.000 Another way to look at it is, let's say you worked for 50 years, or 40 some odd years, you finally retired, and you got a couple hundred grand in your retirement account.

00:38:42.000 Well, you're not going to make more.

00:38:44.000 That's your money.

00:38:45.000 That's your budget for the rest of your life.

00:38:47.000 And then they mass print trillions of dollars, devaluing that currency.

00:38:51.000 All that's in your retirement account is worth half of what it was.

00:38:54.000 No longer enough to actually retire on.

00:38:56.000 What do you do?

00:38:57.000 I guess a lot of people are going to become dependent on the government to keep printing money for them because the money they have is no longer sound enough to actually buy things.

00:39:04.000 So then you get people who work at Walmart because Walmart gets special kickbacks from government.

00:39:09.000 Walmart then pays their employees trash.

00:39:11.000 Their employees then have to get government benefits and around and around we go.

00:39:14.000 But the government's not even printing it.

00:39:15.000 It's the...

00:39:17.000 Federal Reserve, a private company is printing it for us.

00:39:19.000 So and then we give them, we give them notes of like, we promise to give you the money back, right?

00:39:25.000 That's what these are.

00:39:26.000 Yeah.

00:39:26.000 If we were to default on that and say, you know what, Federal Reserve, we can't, we're not.

00:39:31.000 What would happen?

00:39:34.000 Well, the whole system breaks at that point in time.

00:39:36.000 The whole world.

00:39:37.000 The whole world breaks.

00:39:37.000 Yeah, the petrodollar.

00:39:39.000 So it's not just we, the people, who are on the hook for those Treasury notes, right?

00:39:43.000 So we owe a bunch of those to China.

00:39:45.000 China holds $1.3 trillion of them.

00:39:47.000 There's about $7 trillion of U.S.

00:39:48.000 obligations out there in the world.

00:39:50.000 A trillion's a big number.

00:39:50.000 It's a big number.

00:39:52.000 And this is the crazy thing.

00:39:53.000 What that really means, and correct me if I'm wrong, that China has guaranteed access to U.S.

00:39:59.000 labor.

00:39:59.000 Right? That's ultimately what the money would get them.

00:40:01.000 Something produced or service provided by an American, they're getting. 1.00

00:40:05.000 So it's effectively like when the US borrows money from China to pay back with interest,

00:40:09.000 they're saying, what we're going to give you assures that the people in our country will work for you.

00:40:14.000 In some capacity.

00:40:15.000 Is that the Chinese central bank that we owe?

00:40:18.000 Yes, that's who's nominally owing it.

00:40:21.000 So it's the Chinese version of the Federal Reserve, which is the Bank of China.

00:40:28.000 So are you familiar with the Bank of International Settlements?

00:40:30.000 So that's like the mother central bank, where all the other central banks funnel their money through.

00:40:35.000 I would imagine that the Bank of China and the Federal Reserve are connected through the Bank for International Settlements.

00:40:42.000 Yeah, and I don't know that it's useful really to think about different countries when you get to the banking cartels.

00:40:47.000 You know, they're really a tribe.

00:40:49.000 You know, they hang out together and I'm not really clear what the difference is between Is it really like how you just explained?

00:41:01.000 They do things on paper to make it seem like it's legitimate when in reality they just control whether you get access to resources or not?

00:41:07.000 Yeah, so I give a lot of talks, right?

00:41:11.000 And I've been in front of, I'm guessing, 10,000 different audience members at this point in time.

00:41:15.000 And I always ask this one question.

00:41:16.000 I say, particularly US audiences, I say, how many of you ever learned about how money is created in the system?

00:41:22.000 I watched Zeitgeist.

00:41:23.000 I've had two hands go up that whole time.

00:41:26.000 Like, taught in school, right?

00:41:27.000 One was at a crazy Marxist professor at UMass, another was at Oberlin economics professor. 0.98

00:41:32.000 Again, a nut. 0.79

00:41:33.000 But you can teach this to fifth graders, and I know because I have.

00:41:36.000 And once you teach people how money is created in the system, because this whole idea that the Federal Reserve has money, no they don't.

00:41:41.000 They just literally click on a keyboard, and it's created in that moment.

00:41:45.000 It's digital, isn't it?

00:41:46.000 Yes.

00:41:46.000 It's all digital.

00:41:47.000 Not even paper.

00:41:48.000 Not even that.

00:41:49.000 Like, when you go and borrow money from a bank, people thinking like, Jimmy Stewart, it's a wonderful life, and you go down and your savings are in my mortgage.

00:41:55.000 It's not like that at all.

00:41:56.000 When I go to a bank and I take out a mortgage, they click on the keyboards again.

00:41:59.000 And when I borrow, say, $400,000 to buy a house, that's when it got created.

00:42:03.000 That's when the $400,000 came into being.

00:42:06.000 Now, here's the easiest way I break down to people why it's a problem.

00:42:09.000 Because I've got a bunch of these, you know, lefty friends who are like, you know, we need this $2,000 stimulus bill.

00:42:15.000 And I'm like, I hear you.

00:42:15.000 I hear you.

00:42:16.000 I get it.

00:42:16.000 You do.

00:42:16.000 I get it.

00:42:17.000 You're going to get evicted.

00:42:18.000 Your job's been taken away from you.

00:42:20.000 But I think the real issue is that they've taken away your ability to provide for yourself.

00:42:24.000 So I try to explain to them why it's a problem we're printing all this money.

00:42:26.000 And I'll put it very simply.

00:42:27.000 There's five of us here in this room.

00:42:30.000 Imagine there was one dollar between the five of us and I'd give it to Luke and then Luke would trade to Ian and Ian would trade it and that's how the economy functioned.

00:42:38.000 Now imagine one day I show up and I start drawing on a piece of paper dollars.

00:42:43.000 I'm doing no work, I'm trading nothing for anybody, and I'm convincing all of you to give me your stuff because I drew a picture.

00:42:49.000 That's basically what's happening.

00:42:50.000 We're all, as working people, Doing something in exchange for a good so that we can provide for each other resources.

00:42:58.000 And then the government basically comes in and says, Ooh, I did work.

00:43:01.000 Here's my money too.

00:43:02.000 And we go, Oh, thank you government.

00:43:03.000 But they didn't.

00:43:04.000 They just drew it on a piece of paper.

00:43:05.000 They typed it on a keyboard and pressed enter.

00:43:07.000 And we're giving away our stuff to people who aren't working for us or with us or trading with us.

00:43:11.000 So we're using their money pictures and the payment for that is we got to give them interest for it.

00:43:18.000 And what is interest in this story, do you think?

00:43:20.000 What does that represent?

00:43:21.000 A percentage of the picture.

00:43:22.000 Like one for every hundred.

00:43:26.000 So to me, if you're the bank and you loan me that $400,000 mortgage and I pay it back to you.

00:43:31.000 That money was created and it's given back.

00:43:32.000 But where did the interest come from in this story?

00:43:34.000 What does that represent?

00:43:35.000 Well, what it represents is my labor over time.

00:43:38.000 So over the next 30 years, if I have a mortgage, I borrowed 400, I might pay 800 back, depending on the rate of interest.

00:43:43.000 Where did that 400,000 come from?

00:43:44.000 Well, it came from my hard work.

00:43:46.000 But when you created that 400,000, what'd you do?

00:43:48.000 You went clickety clickety click.

00:43:50.000 That was the total work in that story.

00:43:53.000 But me, I'm doing 30 more years in a garage, as a bus driver, as a whatever, whatever, right?

00:43:58.000 So that's why it's never taught in school.

00:44:02.000 Because once you learn that, you go, that doesn't feel right.

00:44:04.000 It's one big Ponzi scheme with these individuals providing absolutely no value at all.

00:44:12.000 Banking, Wall Street, they're the only industry that literally is the only people that don't actually produce something of a service, don't actually produce a good, they just literally make it out of thin air by pressing buttons on a computer.

00:44:24.000 That's absolutely wrong, Luke.

00:44:25.000 You are wrong.

00:44:26.000 They provide excellent source material for movies like The Wolf of Wall Street.

00:44:30.000 That was a great movie.

00:44:32.000 It was awesome.

00:44:33.000 With Matthew McConaughey and he's pounding on his chest.

00:44:35.000 That was awesome.

00:44:36.000 See, if it wasn't for these guys, would we be entertained?

00:44:38.000 They used to execute bankers for charging interest.

00:44:41.000 They called it usury.

00:44:43.000 It was a capital crime to commit usury, which was to charge interest on the loan.

00:44:48.000 When did that change?

00:44:50.000 The 1700s, 1800s or something?

00:44:52.000 I personally have no issue if I've got 10 bucks and I say, okay, I can front you the money now, but I want back $11.

00:44:57.000 I mean, if I'm actually giving you and taking that risk?

00:45:00.000 Giving a flat interest rate is different than a compounding interest rate.

00:45:04.000 Saying I want that back plus 10% is different than saying plus 1% every month until you pay me back.

00:45:09.000 Well, look, I think if someone enters into a contract, it's their choice.

00:45:13.000 If I have money, if I say, look, I'm going to lend you this, you know, half bottle of water, but you got to give me a full bottle of water when, you know, in a month or so.

00:45:20.000 I think I'm fine with that.

00:45:21.000 The problem is when I'm like, okay, um, I'm not actually going to give you any real water.

00:45:26.000 I'm going to spit in a bottle, call it water.

00:45:27.000 And then you got to give me a full bottle, full bottle of water back.

00:45:29.000 But even with the spitting you, what you're doing there is you're actually doing something.

00:45:33.000 Even spitting is work.

00:45:33.000 Right, right, right.

00:45:34.000 So you're doing something.

00:45:36.000 That's the difference here.

00:45:37.000 And so the idea of, like, if I earn $10 because of my hard labor, and then I decide to loan $10 to Luke, and, you know, he's going to pay me back $11, that's a different story from saying, I'm going to create $10 out of thin air, and then insist that you give it all back, plus some VIG, whatever the particularly compounding interest, right?

00:45:54.000 So that's the game.

00:45:55.000 And by the way, that game is going to unravel in everybody's lifetime here.

00:46:01.000 Mine.

00:46:01.000 Yours.

00:46:02.000 Everybody.

00:46:02.000 This is the story that's coming apart because it made a lot of sense in a time when you could just continue to grow exponentially forever.

00:46:08.000 That's what we've been doing on this planet.

00:46:09.000 And our money system is no different.

00:46:11.000 It's just compounding, compounding, compounding.

00:46:12.000 More and more and more debt.

00:46:14.000 Now it's kind of on that steep phase.

00:46:16.000 You know, you look at the pull up a chart of U.S.

00:46:18.000 government debt.

00:46:19.000 It is frightening.

00:46:20.000 I've got StLouisFed.org's economic research money stock.

00:46:24.000 Have you seen this?

00:46:25.000 Yeah.

00:46:25.000 It just goes up.

00:46:26.000 And then look at this.

00:46:27.000 In 2020, it goes from, you can see at the beginning of the year, it just skyrockets.

00:46:32.000 Billions of dollars jumps from $4,000 to $7,000.

00:46:36.000 So it's like... $4 trillion to $7 trillion, right?

00:46:39.000 Yeah.

00:46:40.000 But that increase, that's a 66% increase in 12 months.

00:46:43.000 So all the money used in this country for... 66%?

00:46:47.000 In one year.

00:46:48.000 Because the last time we talked about it was at $35.

00:46:50.000 Yeah, that, well... Now they're printing more.

00:46:52.000 There's more.

00:46:53.000 This is M1 you're looking at probably, which is demand.

00:46:56.000 That's checking savings plus currency, right?

00:46:59.000 But think about that.

00:47:00.000 Every dollar created in our country was about $800 billion up till before the first great financial crisis, right?

00:47:06.000 Every bridge, every war fought, every school, every everything took $800 billion of money stock creation.

00:47:11.000 Then they doubled that in about a year.

00:47:13.000 And that model has just been going and you can feel it's getting faster and faster.

00:47:17.000 So for all your listeners out there, just ask yourself, does it feel like it's just speeding up?

00:47:22.000 Because it actually is.

00:47:24.000 So Bitcoin.

00:47:26.000 I mean, those charts look similar to the Bitcoin charts.

00:47:32.000 I have a phone with, you know, it has a Bitcoin wallet on it and it's an old phone.

00:47:37.000 So I just was like, at one point I was like, whatever, you know, just put it in a box and forgot about it.

00:47:42.000 And then I'm following Max Keiser on Twitter.

00:47:45.000 You guys know Max.

00:47:45.000 You know Max, right?

00:47:46.000 Orange Pill Podcast.

00:47:46.000 Yep.

00:47:47.000 And he's got this really funny meme where he says, have fun staying poor.

00:47:52.000 Have you seen that?

00:47:53.000 No.

00:47:54.000 People who keep telling him Bitcoin is like, don't buy Bitcoin.

00:47:56.000 It's crazy.

00:47:57.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:47:58.000 It's him sitting in a chair, like looking at the camera, says, have fun staying poor.

00:48:01.000 And so I'm seeing him post these things.

00:48:03.000 And then all of a sudden, I'm like, people saying Bitcoin broke its all-time high.

00:48:06.000 And I'm like, where's that phone at?

00:48:07.000 And I'm like, trying to figure out where it is.

00:48:08.000 And it's dead.

00:48:09.000 And I got to plug it in.

00:48:10.000 To see like what's still on it because it's $28,000 for one coin a couple of years ago.

00:48:16.000 Well, this is the thing.

00:48:17.000 People are looking for alternatives to the dollar.

00:48:17.000 $3,000.

00:48:21.000 People are looking to get out of this thing that, of course, people are just printing like crazy, and that's why we're seeing, I think, in one instance, why cryptocurrencies are doing so well right now because of this.

00:48:33.000 Incredible amount of money.

00:48:34.000 Let me, let me, let me, let me tell you.

00:48:37.000 I think crypto is not the right call.

00:48:38.000 I think gold is not the right call.

00:48:39.000 If there's one thing you got to buy, it's primal youth, right?

00:48:41.000 Dr. Jones spinning here.

00:48:42.000 I'm kidding.

00:48:43.000 Infowars.com.

00:48:44.000 No, no, no, no.

00:48:45.000 Uh, water access to water.

00:48:48.000 Watching that video of these people storm through this supermarket because of the lockdowns.

00:48:53.000 And they're like, we want food.

00:48:54.000 Like we want to shop.

00:48:56.000 You can have all the Bitcoin in the world, when an angry mob is hungry, they're not going to stop to ask you for your public key or whatever to do an exchange.

00:49:04.000 They're going to punch you in the face and take your sandwich from you.

00:49:06.000 Of course, that's why I bought ammo, heirloom seeds, a lot of medicine that we can't even mention on this show right now.

00:49:13.000 Being prepared and having personal responsibility is the absolute key.

00:49:16.000 And when you're paying attention, when you know You know, big companies like Citadel and BlackRock, and you see the revolving door, you see the game that's being played on the American people, and you see the writing on the wall.

00:49:27.000 It's there, and it's becoming way more and more evident.

00:49:30.000 And when the people who are writing are going to find out about the exact details, I don't know.

00:49:35.000 Oh boy, I don't know what's going to happen.

00:49:37.000 Do you guys see this video out of New York where the kids are smashing the SUV?

00:49:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:41.000 Throwing their bikes at it.

00:49:42.000 One kid, you know, runs up, jumps, and then dropkicks the windshield.

00:49:45.000 It was a medical SUV apparently.

00:49:47.000 New York is... Look, I'm gonna call it a wasteland because I'm being hyperbolic, but let me tell you something.

00:49:54.000 What people don't understand about extreme circumstances is that you're a frog in a pot with the heat slowly rising until the water boils and you don't realize it.

00:50:03.000 Think about what you were doing in New York a couple years ago compared to what you can do in New York now, and you might be like, oh, that's kind of crazy.

00:50:09.000 Can't do any of that anymore.

00:50:11.000 When was the last time you saw a story about a mob of people breaking into a supermarket?

00:50:15.000 New York City is, it's, you know, there's street races at night now.

00:50:18.000 I'm seeing these videos of people just speeding through the empty streets.

00:50:21.000 Yeah, crazy.

00:50:22.000 And then driving around Manhattan because it's a wasteland.

00:50:26.000 And look, obviously it's not like a desolate, a post-apocalyptic fallout, you know, style, you know, junkyard or whatever.

00:50:35.000 There's people walking around living their normal lives, but in many ways, it's a fraction of what it used to be.

00:50:41.000 To the point where these kids can ride around with their bikes, smash windows, and just, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

00:50:45.000 But that's happening now.

00:50:47.000 What's going to happen when the value of the dollar goes even lower?

00:50:51.000 When there's a whole bunch of unprepared people that don't have resources, that don't know what to do, that don't have a plan, are stuck without any of the important things coming in?

00:50:59.000 And this is what I'm saying.

00:51:01.000 If right now in New York, teenagers on bikes can just attack an SUV and get away with it, and we see people just driving around Manhattan, it's lawlessness.

00:51:10.000 What do you think happens if the police can't handle what's going on right now, you know, ruffian teenagers smashing a car? 1.00

00:51:17.000 How do you think they're going to handle pockets of 50 to 100 people in different parts of the city smashing their way into supermarkets screaming, we want to shop, we need food?

00:51:27.000 The cops are gonna go, I can't do anything about it, sorry.

00:51:29.000 If they can't handle this now, you do not want to be in a city like that.

00:51:32.000 I can't believe there are people who are staying there, too.

00:51:34.000 And they didn't handle it.

00:51:35.000 They didn't handle it during the summer of this year, during the Black Lives Matter protest, when they were just standing around, not doing anything, having their little protest against actually doing their job.

00:51:46.000 So when it came to when the people needed them the most, when there was rioting, when there was looting, when there was actual violence in the street, they literally just stood back and watched everything happen.

00:51:55.000 Yeah, they did nothing.

00:51:56.000 So I think we're getting dangerously close to that point, where, you know, I was talking to my lefty friends, trying to explain to them the problem of mass printing.

00:52:05.000 What, have they nearly doubled the money supply?

00:52:07.000 Or a 66% increase?

00:52:09.000 That's crazy!

00:52:11.000 And, you know, we did a segment about it, and we got a ton of views on it, because people are like, they're seeing that spike in the money stock, and they're like, what does that mean?

00:52:19.000 That looks scary.

00:52:20.000 Like, because you have all of this, 200 years of slow and steady increase, and then boom, straight up.

00:52:25.000 So, but just wrap up my point real quick.

00:52:28.000 Talking to my lefty friend, I bring this up and I'm like, what does that mean for you?

00:52:31.000 I don't know, $20 for a gallon of milk?

00:52:33.000 $15 for a gallon of gas?

00:52:35.000 At some point, right?

00:52:36.000 If the money stock has just doubled, the inflation's coming soon.

00:52:40.000 Read your history, man.

00:52:41.000 Read about all these countries where the hyperinflation happened and the mass printing of money resulted in people shoveling bills into the dumpster.

00:52:47.000 What you were saying.

00:52:49.000 So...

00:52:50.000 I agree with all of that, and this problem definition that we're up against.

00:52:55.000 I mean, so first up, that chart.

00:52:57.000 Seeing the M1, the money supply just spike.

00:52:59.000 Listen, keep a journal.

00:53:00.000 I mean, this is crazy times.

00:53:02.000 This is the hard part.

00:53:03.000 I want to shake people by the lapels. 0.99

00:53:04.000 I want to slap them, you know, airplane style. 0.99

00:53:07.000 Wake up. 0.99

00:53:08.000 Because this is insane what's happening right now.

00:53:11.000 It's literally insane.

00:53:12.000 And if you can't decode the signals, so this is an easy signal.

00:53:16.000 66% increase in the money supply.

00:53:18.000 Trust me, we're going to get people like, well, when's this inflation going to show up?

00:53:20.000 Like it's already here, but the inflation goes where the money goes.

00:53:24.000 So they printed all that money and they mostly gave it to rich people.

00:53:26.000 So what do rich people like?

00:53:27.000 They like jewels, art, yachts, Gulf Streams, trophy properties, stocks and bonds.

00:53:33.000 All of those are through the roof right now.

00:53:34.000 Yeah.

00:53:35.000 We're seeing all that.

00:53:36.000 The pricing on that, if you can even find a lot of this stuff.

00:53:38.000 So you held up water.

00:53:41.000 This is what my company, this is a company t-shirt.

00:53:42.000 We're all about resilience.

00:53:44.000 And so the problem definition side is like, yeah, this stuff is happening.

00:53:47.000 How much convincing do you need once you're past convincing?

00:53:49.000 What do you do about it?

00:53:50.000 Yeah.

00:53:51.000 You know, that's what we need to be talking about.

00:53:52.000 It's like, what do you do about this?

00:53:53.000 Because already where I live in Western Mass, all the properties got snapped up.

00:53:58.000 Just a fraction of a percent of people leaving New York and Boston said that was enough to kill our real estate market.

00:54:03.000 Yep.

00:54:04.000 And when you, I get a lot of questions specifically with people asking me, when will the Great Reset happen?

00:54:10.000 I'm like, it's here.

00:54:11.000 It's here.

00:54:11.000 It's happening right now in front of our very eyes and no one's even paying attention and realizing that it's the largest transfer of wealth is happening right in front of their eyes.

00:54:21.000 John Kerry came out.

00:54:22.000 He has a big position inside of the Biden administration.

00:54:25.000 He came out and said, of course, the Biden administration is going to go along with the Great Reset.

00:54:29.000 We're going to implement it quicker and faster than anyone could even imagine.

00:54:33.000 Yes.

00:54:34.000 But people forget we're here.

00:54:36.000 We're at this juncture right now.

00:54:37.000 The Great Reset people, this is, you know, Klaus Schwab and the whole Davos crowd, the World Economic Forum.

00:54:42.000 One of their key catchphrases they've been marketing for years is build back better, build back better, build back better.

00:54:47.000 All across Europe.

00:54:48.000 And they had it recently.

00:54:49.000 We saw Trudeau out of Canada and Boris Johnson and we got Biden talking about it.

00:54:54.000 But the funny thing is, if you go to the Biden-Harris transition website, it doesn't say Biden-Harris-transition.gov.

00:55:00.000 Their website is literally buildbackbetter.gov.

00:55:03.000 That is their transition website.

00:55:06.000 That's what these European leaders, that's their slogan.

00:55:09.000 Why is there a .gov that's a slogan of European leaders?

00:55:12.000 Why is it the president-elect's website, Build Back Better?

00:55:17.000 What does that even mean?

00:55:18.000 First off, it's sort of a, just grammatically, it's kind of a disaster, but...

00:55:23.000 Is it like, once it falls apart, we're gonna make it stronger again?

00:55:27.000 So like, if an animal's suffering, you want to put it out of its misery?

00:55:30.000 Is that what they're trying to do right now, is put the system out of its misery so that it can come back stronger?

00:55:34.000 Well, what they're saying is, everything's being destroyed, and they're gonna build back Better.

00:55:40.000 I needed the right emphasis on that.

00:55:45.000 Redefined capitalism to make everything more equal and more fair for everyone because you know the big powerful globalists that are responsible for so many ills and wrongs in the world are now going to have a 180 degree flip in their soul and actually start doing good things for everyone just like they promise in this very vague open language that we hear on the IMF, the World Bank, I do want to make sure we cite all this.

00:56:12.000 We have The Hill.

00:56:13.000 John Kerry reveals Biden's devotion to radical Great Reset movement.

00:56:17.000 Now, to clarify, this is from a contributor, Justin Haskins, but he does go on to talk about the Great Reset movement, COVID, and here we have the World Economic Forum's The Great Reset website saying, there's an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis, To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting the Great Reset Initiative.

00:56:39.000 We had on Destiny.

00:56:41.000 Are you familiar with Destiny?

00:56:43.000 He's a leftist, although the progressive, I guess the woke left really hates him because he said, I guess he said that Kyle Rittenhouse was defending himself and so they went after him, but he's pretty lefty.

00:56:53.000 He said, he said, isn't a crisis like COVID the perfect time to do reforms to make the world a better place?

00:56:59.000 Doesn't that make sense?

00:57:00.000 So I think the issue is, Put a pin in that.

00:57:06.000 Now I'll mention I had Alex Jones on the show, and I asked him, what if they're right?

00:57:10.000 That, you know, humanity is hurtling towards non-existence, extinction, because we're destroying this planet, stripping resources, and just burning ourselves alive.

00:57:18.000 Don't we need to do something?

00:57:20.000 And Alex actually said, you're right, I think about that all the time.

00:57:20.000 Is that possible?

00:57:23.000 It may be, but, you know, it's a very serious challenge.

00:57:27.000 And then ultimately, what it comes down to, hearing this from, say, Destiny, or hearing what Alex thought about it, It's a question of your right to impose what you think is right for the rest of the world.

00:57:37.000 And here's where the real problem comes in.

00:57:39.000 If you came to me and told me, Tim, the world is on fire and it's going to end soon, I'd be like, that's a problem.

00:57:43.000 What can we do to solve it?

00:57:45.000 If I trust you.

00:57:47.000 What if you're not right? 0.99

00:57:48.000 What if you're just another crazy person like all the rest of the crazy people who thinks they know what the world needs? 1.00

00:57:53.000 You've got fascists who think they know what the world needs. 1.00

00:57:56.000 I certainly don't trust them.

00:57:58.000 You've got communists who think they know what the world needs.

00:58:00.000 I don't trust them either.

00:58:01.000 So if someone comes to me and says, we must impose authoritarian rule over all of the people of the world to make sure we survive, I don't have any good reason to trust what you're saying.

00:58:11.000 I want the world to survive.

00:58:12.000 I want to mitigate these problems.

00:58:14.000 I personally think we've got a problem with climate change, and you even mentioned we've got a problem with resources.

00:58:18.000 But who do I trust?

00:58:20.000 Who do we empower to put the boot down over everybody else?

00:58:25.000 I agree.

00:58:26.000 A doctor once told me, I love the saying, people don't sue outcomes, they sue relationships.

00:58:31.000 So here's my relationship with these elites at this point in time, they just lie about everything.

00:58:34.000 So I'm actually fairly sympathetic to this line of thinking.

00:58:38.000 If they said, listen, we're 7.8 billion people, normal trajectory, we're going to nine, maybe 10 billion.

00:58:43.000 That's a fact.

00:58:44.000 That's gonna happen by 2050.

00:58:46.000 Here's where we are in the resource story.

00:58:47.000 Here's how much oil we think we have left.

00:58:49.000 Here's how much fresh water we think we have left.

00:58:50.000 There's a there's a gap here.

00:58:51.000 We have a problem on our hands.

00:58:53.000 But let's pull through this together.

00:58:54.000 So this would have been like going to the nation back in 1940 and saying, we have to defeat Nazis, right? 0.78

00:59:00.000 And as long as you're honest about that, people will go, okay, you know, if people know what the vision is, they will crawl through mud, literally.

00:59:07.000 You ever seen those people do those mudders, right? 1.00

00:59:08.000 Like just crawling?

00:59:09.000 Tough mudder.

00:59:11.000 Yeah, and it's team based and they want to do it.

00:59:13.000 So people do amazing.

00:59:14.000 I have great faith in people.

00:59:15.000 But I think what you're talking about is that the people who are pulling the strings up there right now, they don't have that same faith.

00:59:20.000 In fact, they actually don't trust us.

00:59:22.000 So that means we're in a relationship that's not based on trust.

00:59:25.000 And so your question is a good one, which is why should I do anything if I don't trust you?

00:59:29.000 Well, here's an interesting conundrum, I suppose.

00:59:31.000 You've got the IPCC, you know, a consensus among scientists, climate change is happening.

00:59:37.000 How do you feel about that?

00:59:38.000 What's your thoughts on climate change?

00:59:40.000 It's very complicated.

00:59:42.000 I've put not enough time into it to really understand what's going on, but I get the basic theory of it.

00:59:47.000 I don't want to get into the actual politics that arises around it, but I just wanted to point out that you've got a large faction of people who don't believe it's real.

00:59:55.000 If you get someone like Al Gore coming out of the documentary and doing a presentation saying, you know, here's what's happening, and half the country believes it and half doesn't, then I don't necessarily agree that if they came out and said, here's our plan, people would just agree to do it.

01:00:07.000 I think a lot of people would just say, no, you can't tell me what to do.

01:00:09.000 But it's not necessarily around the climate change. This resource story is more direct, more linear.

01:00:12.000 So ocean acidification is something I believe in completely because it's very simple. You take the

01:00:16.000 partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the higher it is, the more there is,

01:00:20.000 the more goes in the water, the more acidic it becomes, period. And I know I've talked to oyster

01:00:24.000 farmers who can't grow oysters in both Maine and in this Puget Sound because the ocean's too acidic.

01:00:31.000 But the jellyfish comes in, and people are eating the jellyfish now.

01:00:35.000 I've never tried it.

01:00:36.000 Is it good?

01:00:37.000 Have you looked into iron fertilization?

01:00:40.000 Yeah, this whole idea that we're going to geoengineer our way out of this, I think, is... Here's... Complexity theory is the most important thing I've ever learned.

01:00:48.000 And in complexity theory, there's a couple things.

01:00:50.000 Like, even if we had a computer and we're modeling sand being dropped, when, exactly when, and how much is that pile is going to slump, we don't know.

01:00:58.000 We can't predict it.

01:00:59.000 Yeah.

01:00:59.000 Right, right.

01:00:59.000 We don't that defies us.

01:01:01.000 So when you say do I believe in climate change, it's not a question of belief.

01:01:04.000 What I'll tell you is it's not just a complex system.

01:01:06.000 It's hundreds of nested complex systems.

01:01:09.000 Our ability to predict that is zero.

01:01:12.000 But we can sort of look at the larger trends, which I do believe in.

01:01:16.000 But anybody who has certainty about where anything's going to go or how it's going to

01:01:18.000 play out.

01:01:19.000 I don't know about that side of things, but ocean acidification is dead simple.

01:01:23.000 Tell me how much how much CO2 is in the atmosphere and I'll tell you what's going to happen.

01:01:26.000 And so I've worked for environmental nonprofits and we like we talk a great deal about the dead zones that have appeared and say like the Gulf.

01:01:34.000 Are you familiar with these?

01:01:35.000 Yeah, from all the nutrient runoff, yeah.

01:01:37.000 Yeah, so, and there's also the other problem, you mentioned fresh water.

01:01:42.000 I did a short segment on a desalination plant in, I believe it was Carlsbad, California.

01:01:50.000 And a lot of people are saying, oh, look, the whole world is water, we just gotta get the salt out of it, we can drink it.

01:01:54.000 What they don't realize is, first of all, that creates a mass movement of the water into other areas, but the brine runoff, From the, when they pull the brine, they basically take salt water, and they pull out a bunch of, you know, water molecules, which gives them fresh water.

01:02:09.000 They get a really dense, salty brine, which then rolls down the bottom of the ocean bed, killing off all of the smaller lifeforms, creating this wave that goes all the way up, creating a dead zone, where now there's nothing alive anymore.

01:02:23.000 So that desalination is not a solution to this.

01:02:26.000 So ultimately what I'm getting to is, it seems like we can't just keep doing what we're doing, can we?

01:02:33.000 Nope.

01:02:34.000 That's the point.

01:02:34.000 We can't, we just can't.

01:02:36.000 But where's the balance between an individual's right to choose and live their lives for themselves and Yeah, but the people who are saying things are burning down, they're lying through their teeth.

01:02:51.000 And usually they are connected to individuals who are doing the burning.

01:02:54.000 So when we look at the actual pollution, when we look at the actual issues that the Earth is facing, whether with natural resources or not or or some of the studies that manipulate the data to to highlight that maybe it is declining maybe it's not declining a lot of this is contrived by organizations that benefit from this that get more power and control by you believing some some of these things and then they extort it to get power taxes they they wanted to do a carbon tax on individuals cnn again lambasted individuals for for eating meat and they're saying because of climate change you're going to have to eat

01:03:29.000 less meat. Meanwhile, they're not even talking about the multinational corporations that are

01:03:32.000 mostly responsible for the the quote-quote carbon emissions that are going on there and they're

01:03:37.000 shifting the blame on the individuals when they're the ones creating the problem that they magically

01:03:41.000 have a solution to that we have to go along with. That's crazy. I think a really good question that

01:03:46.000 needs to be answered is when you look at Greta Thunberg, she complains about the U.S. and 1.00

01:03:52.000 and Europe, and she ignores China and India.

01:03:55.000 Why is that?

01:03:56.000 Look, I'm here with you, man.

01:03:58.000 I'm ready to fight for the environment and all that good stuff, but I got a real problem when we ignore a couple very important questions.

01:04:07.000 We ignore China and India, and they're pumping out tons of carbon, and I don't see Greta Thunberg complaining about that.

01:04:13.000 The U.S.

01:04:13.000 is actually working hard to reduce carbon emissions, find other ways to produce energy.

01:04:17.000 Not like it's perfect, but then you also see these elites who fly on jumbo jets and have big houses, but more importantly, buy beachfront property.

01:04:26.000 Like Bill Gates.

01:04:27.000 Bill Gates recently bought beachfront property.

01:04:29.000 Haven't all of them bought?

01:04:32.000 But this is the thing we also have to understand.

01:04:34.000 A lot of China's pollution was predominantly responsible because of other countries sending their garbage to them and they said that they're going to recycle it. 0.78

01:04:42.000 They didn't recycle it.

01:04:43.000 They sent it into the oceans and then the world found out that recycling mainly, in part, was a large scam on the people.

01:04:51.000 I think I figured it out.

01:04:53.000 You see, all these rich people buy this beachfront property, right?

01:04:56.000 Because they really want to live on the beach.

01:04:57.000 Barack Obama just did it too recently in Maine.

01:05:00.000 But then, they're sitting there thinking, like, I just invested, you know, $10 million in this condo, right?

01:05:05.000 And it's going to be underwater in 20 years.

01:05:07.000 So they go to their buddies and say, how do we stop my condo from going underwater?

01:05:10.000 I know.

01:05:11.000 Yeah.

01:05:11.000 Let's...

01:05:12.000 Lock everybody down so that no one can do anything because then they know we'll save resources. That means the elites

01:05:18.000 I'm half joking by the way Well, there's climate change zealots right now that are

01:05:24.000 coming out in mainstream media publications and they're writing editorials how we need to continue

01:05:28.000 These lockdowns we need to prevent people from riding cars We need to prevent people from traveling to stop climate

01:05:35.000 change after we defeat the corona virus We still have to continue these practices because they're

01:05:40.000 good for the environment. Meanwhile, they pointed the responsibility at the individual

01:05:44.000 Rather than the actual corporates the culprits who are responsible for it and it's absolutely sickening and it's

01:05:50.000 totally disingenuous Quote journalism its PR propaganda for the very rich to

01:05:54.000 become richer They write that the Great Reset is a conspiracy theory.

01:06:00.000 That people think the elites are just locking us down because of climate change and not really because of COVID.

01:06:05.000 I got an article here from the World Economic Forum themselves.

01:06:08.000 Emissions fell during lockdown.

01:06:10.000 Let's keep it that way.

01:06:11.000 Well, there you go.

01:06:13.000 I don't think we need one.

01:06:14.000 They're saying it to us.

01:06:14.000 So if somebody says they're going to do something and then it happens, it's now a conspiracy theory to suggest that that might have been what happened?

01:06:20.000 Well, that's what the New York Times even wrote.

01:06:22.000 They said if you talk about the Great Reset, you're a conspiracy theorist.

01:06:25.000 It doesn't exist.

01:06:26.000 It's not here.

01:06:26.000 Meanwhile, other publications are like celebrating it and saying that this is going to be great and amazing.

01:06:31.000 It started out with you had the World Economic Forum writing the Great Reset.

01:06:35.000 Here's what we're going to do.

01:06:36.000 Then when the right, conservatives and libertarians started talking about it, the New York Times said, oh, it's a conspiracy.

01:06:42.000 It's not real.

01:06:43.000 Then about a week later, you started getting these mainstream publications just defending the Great Reset, saying far-right, you know, white supremacists, etc., are attacking the noble and great Reset. 0.75

01:06:56.000 Like, we are all working together for a better world, and these far-right white nationalists are a harumph, I say.

01:07:01.000 But here's the thing. 0.58

01:07:03.000 That's the trajectory things go through.

01:07:04.000 You could ask every one of those journalists and say, what exactly does the Great Reset entail and what impact is it going to have on your lives?

01:07:11.000 Nobody knows.

01:07:12.000 Nobody has an idea about this, right?

01:07:14.000 Except I'm not going to own anything.

01:07:16.000 I'm going to be happy about that.

01:07:17.000 I'm going to rent everything.

01:07:18.000 Have no privacy.

01:07:19.000 No privacy.

01:07:20.000 But that's all I know about it so far.

01:07:22.000 That's you.

01:07:23.000 Not them.

01:07:25.000 What I think I see happening right now is, for a long time in the United States, upward mobility was a thing.

01:07:33.000 The American dream existed for people, even people who were not from here, could emigrate, become American, find their American dream.

01:07:41.000 You could be in poverty in the old country, come here, work really, really hard, and eventually your kids are living better than you've ever dreamed, and you've got your own house, and you've got a business.

01:07:48.000 Drive that Ponzi scheme to the top.

01:07:50.000 Well, so what's happening now is the American dream was upward mobility.

01:07:54.000 You know, in some countries there's none because it's class-based or caste-based.

01:07:58.000 Well, what's happening now is with the Great Reset, I think what they're going to do is there's a hundred ladders that you can climb for that upward mobility.

01:08:07.000 99 of them are getting the axe right now.

01:08:09.000 And they'll keep one or two.

01:08:10.000 Some people will be allowed if they approve of you and you help them.

01:08:14.000 And they will get to continue flying around on jets, running the world, doing whatever they want.

01:08:18.000 But hey look, emissions are down, the World Economic Forum says.

01:08:21.000 Let's keep it that way.

01:08:22.000 I don't think that's good.

01:08:23.000 Does that mean they won't be flying?

01:08:24.000 No, it means you won't be flying!

01:08:26.000 Exactly.

01:08:26.000 That's a great point that you're making there.

01:08:28.000 And when you look at upward mobility, it's virtually almost Coming to a point where it's impossible in the United States.

01:08:34.000 You look at low-skill labor, that's being replaced with immigration. 0.99

01:08:38.000 You look at high-skill labor with programming, there's a whole bunch of visa programs that are outsourced to India and China that are literally shipping in labor into the United States.

01:08:47.000 So people going to college right now, getting into debt for the rest of their life, come out and there's no job prospects out there.

01:08:54.000 There's going to be less and less of them.

01:08:56.000 We were already facing a large economic turmoil, especially in the retail market before the coronavirus.

01:09:03.000 Now, there's going to be a huge reckoning and a huge restructuring.

01:09:07.000 The Great Reset, it's here.

01:09:08.000 It's the largest transfer of wealth.

01:09:10.000 And they're enforcing it with brute force.

01:09:13.000 If you're a business, if you don't transfer your wealth to Amazon, to Walmart, to Target, the police will come after you, they'll shut you down, the IRS will audit you, and they will make sure any semblance of self-responsibility, any semblance of you being able to fend for yourself is eliminated, and that's exactly what's happening right now, and it's sickening.

01:09:33.000 So there's one funny thing that's going on right now is there's a call to boycott Walmart.

01:09:38.000 And it's because Josh Hawley, Republican senator, announced he's going to be objecting to the electoral vote count supporting Donald Trump.

01:09:45.000 The Walmart official Twitter account tweeted— I wonder if the Newsweek article has the tweet.

01:09:50.000 They do.

01:09:51.000 Check this out.

01:09:51.000 Walmart tweeted— Walmart!

01:09:53.000 The actual Twitter account for verified Walmart. 0.99

01:09:56.000 Go ahead, get your two-hour debate, sore loser. 0.96

01:10:00.000 Walmart had to issue a public apology. 0.94

01:10:03.000 It was a team member who forgot to switch accounts, and conservatives are like, no, we're going to boycott Walmart.

01:10:10.000 Well, progressives, seeing the opportunity, were like, yeah, conservatives, woo, you're right, let's boycott Walmart.

01:10:17.000 And they're going, we actually just want to boycott Walmart because they're a massive corporation that rips off their employees and doesn't pay fair wages.

01:10:22.000 And then I'm sitting there like, I don't care what your reason is for boycotting Walmart. 0.99

01:10:26.000 I think Walmart's trash. 0.79

01:10:27.000 I think we gotta support mom-and-pop shops. 0.96

01:10:29.000 So if you're mad about them tweeting at Josh Hall and you want to boycott it, I'll take it.

01:10:33.000 If you're a progressive who doesn't like they're paying wages, I agree with you.

01:10:36.000 So how about we help the small businesses, the little people who need support right now, And we stopped shopping at Walmart.

01:10:43.000 I'm with it.

01:10:43.000 I mean, I mean, Walmart's taking their profits from us right now, and they're investing it back into Wuhan, China of all places, which is absolutely disturbing.

01:10:52.000 What do you make of all this, Chris?

01:10:53.000 Are you going to boycott Walmart?

01:10:56.000 I have been for years.

01:10:57.000 I'm way ahead of the curve.

01:10:59.000 I haven't been.

01:11:00.000 I haven't been.

01:11:01.000 I've been a little lazy on it.

01:11:02.000 And I saw a tweet from Jen Perlman we had on the show, and she said we should boycott Walmart because, like, you know, they don't pay fair wages or whatever.

01:11:10.000 And this is true.

01:11:11.000 I mean, Walmart pays trash, and then their employees have to get welfare to make up the difference.

01:11:17.000 Yeah, it's a subsidy.

01:11:17.000 Yeah, I'm like, why are my taxes going to that?

01:11:20.000 That doesn't make me happy.

01:11:22.000 So yeah, maybe Walmart should pay better.

01:11:24.000 Yeah, this is the Ponzi scheme that's going on right now.

01:11:27.000 Many people aren't being paid a living wage and they have to go on government assistance, which of course is paid for through the tax dollars.

01:11:33.000 It's another subsidy that they're receiving, which is an unfair advantage than anyone else in the business field.

01:11:40.000 This is not a free market capitalistic society.

01:11:43.000 This is a society by the rich.

01:11:46.000 Even these living wages are money from the Federal Reserve that are not sustainable.

01:11:51.000 We've got to pay back with interest.

01:11:53.000 There are no living wages right now.

01:11:55.000 Let's say living buying power or buying value.

01:11:57.000 For the moment, but it's not sustainable.

01:11:59.000 No, no, no.

01:11:59.000 I'm not talking about the Federal Reserve.

01:12:01.000 I'm saying people need to have a way to sustain themselves with proper buying power, and the Federal Reserve strips that away.

01:12:06.000 That's the problem.

01:12:07.000 I agree with you.

01:12:08.000 So what I'm saying is, you've got a lot of people who are mad at Walmart because they insulted Josh Hawley, who was supporting Trump.

01:12:14.000 Come on board!

01:12:15.000 Let's do it.

01:12:16.000 But listen, listen.

01:12:17.000 Conservatives all about helping the small business owner and the people who are fighting and working for themselves.

01:12:23.000 I agree with you.

01:12:24.000 We should be shopping at the boutique stores, but they've all been shut down.

01:12:28.000 So the government not only is paying a subsidy wage to the people who aren't being paid enough by Walmart, Our taxes cover that, and then the government comes in and shuts down all the small businesses, forcing us to go to places like Walmart.

01:12:43.000 Talk about a lucrative merger between corporation and state.

01:12:47.000 Oh, there's a word for that.

01:12:49.000 Oh, fascism.

01:12:51.000 I thought all the left was supposed to be fighting all that, but here they are really cheering it on.

01:12:55.000 The left's definition of fascism is ultra-nationalism and traditionalism.

01:13:00.000 And they argue that even though I believe Mussolini said it was the lucrative merger between corporation and state for a singular purpose, it was nationalistic.

01:13:09.000 Look, when we say fascism, we usually just mean totalitarian dictatorship, you know, single party rule.

01:13:16.000 And why are we left and right?

01:13:19.000 We got to come together.

01:13:20.000 And let's, you know, you get left over here and the right over here.

01:13:22.000 We all crack beers together and realize, for different reasons, we're mad at Walmart.

01:13:25.000 Can we all agree that Walmart is bad?

01:13:27.000 And I'm sorry for singling out Walmart.

01:13:29.000 Actually, no, I'm not sorry for singling out Walmart.

01:13:31.000 But it's other stores, too.

01:13:32.000 It's Target.

01:13:33.000 It's these big box stores.

01:13:34.000 And it's Amazon.

01:13:36.000 Amazon's so easy.

01:13:37.000 Whenever we need something, it's like, I can just go to Amazon, boom, it's there, and it's prime, it's delivered.

01:13:42.000 We gotta go back to supporting people.

01:13:45.000 You know, the problem we have right now, money is being siphoned away, a transfer of wealth.

01:13:50.000 It's not just happening because of COVID and the lockdowns.

01:13:53.000 Everything that the left has pointed out, referencing that Walmart doesn't pay enough so their employees go on welfare, and then our taxes pay for those people, That's another transfer of our wealth to a massive corporation.

01:14:05.000 I'm not cool with that. Or individuals like Jeff Bezos. I was about to say, can we please do

01:14:08.000 wall amazon too? Because they had 1.5 billion items that were delivered just during this

01:14:16.000 holiday season. They had a 50% increase since last year's holiday season in the amount of

01:14:22.000 people that used them.

01:14:23.000 And this is a company working on the latest and greatest police state technology, quantum computing to break encryption, artificial intelligence.

01:14:31.000 They're working with the CIA.

01:14:32.000 They're working with the Pentagon.

01:14:34.000 If there ever was a legitimate threat against your civil liberties, against your freedoms, against your economic future, it's, it's, it's Amazon.

01:14:43.000 Let's just... I got all these things on Amazon.

01:14:45.000 The Gorilla 2 and the crystal ball and the plasma ball.

01:14:47.000 Yeah.

01:14:49.000 I think I got this glass on Amazon.

01:14:50.000 It's pretty easy to use.

01:14:51.000 This thing too, maybe.

01:14:52.000 It reminds me of Idiocracy, where Costco is this massive multi-square mile building where people get lost inside.

01:14:59.000 Dude, it's incredibly convenient when they can drone deliver things through the stratosphere, when we're going to be able to drone ship materials into the desert, because we're just launching these drones.

01:15:10.000 It's going to be the way we're supposed to live.

01:15:12.000 I just don't like one guy owning that.

01:15:16.000 I don't want to seize the production, but maybe there's a better way to decentralize the ability.

01:15:22.000 This is why I'm all about mixed economy.

01:15:24.000 I don't like the idea of... Here's what I don't like.

01:15:27.000 I don't like when the regular working class person loses their rights to figure out what they need and trade as they want.

01:15:34.000 And that's what you get with full-on socialism or communism.

01:15:36.000 When the regular working class person loses choice. 0.98

01:15:39.000 I'll tell you what I really, really don't like.

01:15:41.000 I don't like Jeff Bezos extracting value and destroying mom-and-pop shops.

01:15:45.000 I don't like big box stores setting up next to a boutique, shutting them down.

01:15:50.000 I don't like Starbucks setting up next to a small town mom-and-pop coffee shop, and then dropping their prices to gut them out, and then once they're gone, cranking the prices back up.

01:15:59.000 That's a problem.

01:16:00.000 What's at the root of all this?

01:16:01.000 It's obviously capitalism.

01:16:03.000 I say, you know what, the workers of the world, you know, I'm kidding.

01:16:06.000 It's the job economy, right?

01:16:07.000 What do you think it is?

01:16:08.000 It's money.

01:16:09.000 It's just money.

01:16:10.000 It's like this old biblical sort of understanding of mammon, right?

01:16:13.000 So mammon comes out and confuses people with his shiny baubles and people do crazy stuff against every principle they have.

01:16:20.000 We have corporations right now that will do anything for that bottom line. 0.99

01:16:24.000 Anything.

01:16:25.000 So one of the things I track is insects, birds, all this stuff.

01:16:28.000 I'm kind of an outdoor guy, right?

01:16:29.000 And they're just plummeting.

01:16:30.000 They're in decline.

01:16:31.000 What?

01:16:32.000 Birds, massively.

01:16:32.000 Birds?

01:16:33.000 Birds aren't real.

01:16:34.000 I'm kidding.

01:16:35.000 Somebody was posting in the chat over and over again.

01:16:35.000 I've heard this.

01:16:37.000 I don't know what that was about.

01:16:37.000 I know.

01:16:38.000 Didn't take.

01:16:39.000 That was a failed meme.

01:16:40.000 It did not launch.

01:16:41.000 No, there's a subreddit called Birds Aren't Real, and they go at it.

01:16:44.000 I know.

01:16:44.000 They keep trying.

01:16:45.000 But capital T Try.

01:16:46.000 It's painful at this point.

01:16:47.000 So let's keep moving.

01:16:48.000 So what kind of birds are you tracking?

01:16:50.000 Um, all of them, all the migratory birds at this point in time.

01:16:52.000 Sparrows?

01:16:53.000 Yeah, they're in huge, huge decline everywhere.

01:16:55.000 They just had this massive buy-off that just happened just this past week in White Sands in New Mexico, the place where they were trying to migrate, but they just couldn't make it.

01:17:03.000 They just fell out of the sky.

01:17:04.000 Sparrows?

01:17:05.000 All kinds of things.

01:17:06.000 Everything migratory.

01:17:07.000 Yep.

01:17:07.000 They were falling out of the sky.

01:17:08.000 Mm-hmm.

01:17:09.000 Why?

01:17:10.000 Emaciated.

01:17:11.000 They're out of food.

01:17:11.000 So the insects are all gone.

01:17:12.000 Yeah.

01:17:13.000 So I'm old enough, you guys might not know this, but when we would go on family trips, right, get in the old woody station wagon, you know, no seat belts.

01:17:19.000 It was that kind of an era.

01:17:20.000 Every gas stop, which was plenty because the cars got zicked for mileage, right?

01:17:24.000 I would have to crawl out and try and get the bugs off the windshield.

01:17:26.000 And they were just thick, right?

01:17:28.000 But not just one type, not a swarm of mayflies.

01:17:31.000 There's grasshoppers and dragonflies and big things and little things.

01:17:35.000 You don't see that anymore.

01:17:36.000 I now drive hundreds of miles over the course of the summer and might get one bug.

01:17:40.000 It's not because my car's aerodynamic.

01:17:42.000 They just aren't there.

01:17:43.000 We got spider crickets here. 0.95

01:17:44.000 And we're doing that.

01:17:45.000 Yeah, those things are nasty. 0.98

01:17:47.000 They're a little scary, right?

01:17:48.000 And we're doing that because we decided to switch to a new brand of pesticides called neonicotinoids.

01:17:52.000 And we did this because it's just a little bit cheaper.

01:17:55.000 And they get to sell a couple billion dollars worth.

01:17:55.000 Right.

01:17:55.000 Yeah.

01:17:57.000 But we're taking out the bottom of the food chain.

01:17:59.000 So the larger story around the same story as Walmart, the theme for me is We have to get back in right relationship with ourselves, with our workers, with our biosphere.

01:18:07.000 Like, if we don't get this relationship thing right and we keep going spiraling down this Great Reset, control everything, I think it ends badly.

01:18:15.000 Wait, wouldn't the Great Reset help solve that problem?

01:18:18.000 No, it would exacerbate it tenfold because it's the same people, the heads of Monsanto, the heads of all these regulatory groups.

01:18:26.000 Today, Joe Biden just picked A gentleman that's deemed Mr. Monsanto as the top head of the USDA today.

01:18:34.000 Well, there's change you can believe in.

01:18:35.000 Yes, exactly.

01:18:37.000 And those are the same individuals bringing in the Great Reset, so we're gonna have, you know, Mr. Monsanto at the head of agriculture that's gonna make everything right for you?

01:18:46.000 I mean, I'm sorry, it's gonna be naive to believe any of these individuals because when you look at their track record, when you look at what Monsanto did, not just with Roundup, But with so many different instances that I could bring up here right now, it is absolutely dumbfounding why they are still allowed to be an entity that exists.

01:19:04.000 It's crazy.

01:19:05.000 You hear about the rat that was trying to eat a pigeon in New York City?

01:19:08.000 No, they're that hungry, huh?

01:19:09.000 Yep.

01:19:10.000 They're all out of Cheetos and hot dog rinds.

01:19:12.000 Well, there's also the story today of squirrels attacking human beings.

01:19:15.000 Exactly.

01:19:16.000 Squirrels have been attacking people in New York, biting people, because they're getting desperate.

01:19:22.000 And, you know, it's really interesting.

01:19:24.000 I watch these videos of, like, you know, a cat and a bunny, and they're, like, laying together.

01:19:27.000 Yeah, because they're well-fed.

01:19:29.000 Exactly.

01:19:30.000 I was reading it, like, why is it that we claim that dogs and cats hate each other, and in reality, like, you'll see a video of a dog and a cat laying there, and, you know, fat and happy.

01:19:36.000 Even for, like, a lion.

01:19:37.000 You can have a lion and a small little pig or something, and the lion won't, will leave it alone because they're well-fed.

01:19:42.000 And it's, they don't want to waste energy fighting.

01:19:44.000 Fighting is dangerous.

01:19:45.000 It's scary.

01:19:46.000 If they get free food from somewhere else, they got no reason to do it.

01:19:49.000 Now we're seeing a rat fighting a pigeon, and some dude swinging at it, but now squirrels are attacking human beings, desperate for food, because when they have no choice, they would rather fight you, even though they know they're gonna die, because they're like, I'm gonna die anyway.

01:20:02.000 You're making me think about humans, man.

01:20:04.000 That's how humans are too.

01:20:05.000 Yes, exactly the same.

01:20:05.000 Yes.

01:20:06.000 And so what happens when this lockdown carries on longer and longer, and people start smashing their way into these businesses, because they have to eat?

01:20:16.000 Don't want to be in a city right now.

01:20:19.000 We need to figure out a better way.

01:20:20.000 Don't want to be in a city right now.

01:20:23.000 Yes, that is a recipe for disaster.

01:20:25.000 And what you were just talking about, I mean, it's something that I also observed this summer

01:20:29.000 driving around in the United States.

01:20:31.000 I was like, why aren't there a lot of bugs in the windshield like there used to be when

01:20:35.000 I was a kid when we had road trips?

01:20:37.000 And there's none, and it's terrifying because when you look at the kind of ecosystem, it's being interrupted.

01:20:44.000 It's being interrupted in record levels that are going to have a huge impact.

01:20:48.000 So when I talked about those complex systems before, here's how they work.

01:20:50.000 You mentioned jellyfish.

01:20:51.000 There's a great story about this, right?

01:20:53.000 In the Adriatic Sea, they had sardine fisheries for thousands of years.

01:20:56.000 Thousands of years.

01:20:57.000 And finally, they just overdid it.

01:20:58.000 Just, you know, mechanized trawlers, GPS.

01:21:00.000 You start six inches from where you left off last Tuesday.

01:21:02.000 You know, nothing.

01:21:03.000 They scraped the ocean clean.

01:21:05.000 And once the ecosystem said, oh, there aren't enough fish and the jellyfish could get in a toehold.

01:21:09.000 And then they took over.

01:21:10.000 They now have a jellyfish ecosystem and nobody has a clue how to undo that.

01:21:14.000 Because it's like the marble went out of the fish bowl and went over into the jellyfish bowl.

01:21:18.000 And that's where it is now.

01:21:19.000 And this is going to have a huge effect on our food industry.

01:21:21.000 And people don't even realize this.

01:21:22.000 Do you know about the mussels in Lake Michigan in Chicago?

01:21:25.000 It's an invasive species.

01:21:27.000 The zebra mussels, you mean?

01:21:28.000 Yeah, we had those in the lake that I went to.

01:21:28.000 Yeah.

01:21:30.000 Yeah, it just started spreading like crazy.

01:21:31.000 Invasive species.

01:21:33.000 So listen, though, if all these bugs are gone and we have these acidification and dead zones, and now they're saying that because we've locked everything down for a year, that CO2 levels have dropped and emissions are going down and stuff like that.

01:21:45.000 Won't that help solve a lot of this problem?

01:21:48.000 Won't that help insects come back and ocean life come back?

01:21:51.000 Back up to a point.

01:21:53.000 The work I do in the world is about this.

01:21:54.000 We need a new narrative.

01:21:56.000 So we live by stories.

01:21:57.000 And we had this story that was running for thousands of years.

01:21:59.000 Stop me if you heard it.

01:22:00.000 Be fruitful and multiply.

01:22:02.000 At a time when that story came out and they're like, this is a kick-ass story.

01:22:02.000 Right?

01:22:05.000 You know, we need to use this.

01:22:06.000 It's because, you know, there were basically a few million people on the planet.

01:22:09.000 We're at a different part of this story.

01:22:10.000 And I think that's what the Great Reset people are wrestling with.

01:22:13.000 I think they're doing it inelegantly.

01:22:14.000 I think they're doing it, you know, a little bit duplicitously.

01:22:18.000 But we need a new story that says, how do we live within our means?

01:22:20.000 How do we live within our ecological budget?

01:22:22.000 Because what used to be, you could just sort of overshoot that and who cares?

01:22:25.000 And it always bounces back.

01:22:26.000 But now it's not bouncing back.

01:22:28.000 And that's what people are feeling.

01:22:29.000 I think because we evolved on this planet through billions of years, that we can feel that on some level.

01:22:34.000 And I think that explains why people are so anxious right now, because we're We're kind of destroying the place we live on.

01:22:39.000 But I don't think, I don't think we need to be put in check.

01:22:42.000 I think they need to be put in check because when you look at the ones most responsible for pollution, when you look at the ones most responsible for pesticides, they are the ones who are responsible.

01:22:52.000 So that's why I don't trust their solution.

01:22:53.000 You were just mentioning what, like 73% of Americans are fat?

01:22:57.000 Either obese or overweight, according to a new report that just came out.

01:23:02.000 Yes, we could all be better, of course.

01:23:03.000 I agree with you.

01:23:04.000 No, no, but listen.

01:23:05.000 I think the problem is twofold.

01:23:06.000 You've got massive corporations that are pumping out carbon emissions, and I see this from the left.

01:23:10.000 They say, stop demonizing the people.

01:23:13.000 It's the corporations that are responsible for the majority of the pollution.

01:23:15.000 Predominantly, yes.

01:23:16.000 Yeah, but it's the people who are buying and demanding that the corporations continue.

01:23:19.000 Not just them.

01:23:20.000 When we're talking about Monsanto, these are people that leveraged government at almost every element to get an unfair advantage to do whatever the hell they wanted to.

01:23:29.000 And it's not a free market competition.

01:23:31.000 No one said, hey, I really want to support GMO seeds now.

01:23:36.000 I really want, you know, Frankenstein to go into the laboratory and build some Gene splicing between pigs and tomatoes.

01:23:43.000 No one voted for that.

01:23:46.000 Is that real?

01:23:48.000 There's a lot of gene splicing.

01:23:50.000 Yeah, I mean, you gotta look up the direct references, but there is crazy gene splicing experiments that are being done.

01:23:57.000 Remember when Homer Simpson spliced tobacco and tomatoes together?

01:24:00.000 Yes, I remember that episode.

01:24:01.000 And then for some reason the tobacco inside the tomato was already dehydrated.

01:24:06.000 I was like, what is up with that?

01:24:07.000 Well, you know, there's things that, of course, people never voted for, and there's many ways you could vote.

01:24:13.000 You could vote with your dollar, you could vote with your attention.

01:24:15.000 By watching this podcast, you are voting with your attention, and it's a huge way to incentivize what you want.

01:24:23.000 And I think I agree on that element, that we as human beings need to realize every decision we make does have an impact, We do ultimately matter.

01:24:31.000 We are the change that we want to see in this world.

01:24:33.000 And if we're not doing good, we're not prepared, we're not responsible for ourselves, no one else will be.

01:24:38.000 I'll put it, I'll put it simply, man.

01:24:40.000 Look, I am so on board to save this planet.

01:24:42.000 We're talking about ocean acidification, climate change, the birds falling from the sky, the bugs are gone.

01:24:46.000 I'm getting scared, right?

01:24:48.000 And then I'm like, all right, Obama, tell me what to do.

01:24:50.000 And he's like, well, I just bought a boat and a big $30 million mansion on the beach.

01:24:54.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:24:56.000 You're clearly not taking this seriously, dude.

01:24:58.000 What am I supposed to do?

01:25:01.000 Remember after an inconvenient truth comes out, right?

01:25:04.000 And scares a lot of people, and you get to the end of it, and it's kind of like, well, maybe you should, I don't know, maybe you should put some compact fluorescent light bulbs in.

01:25:10.000 You're going, what the, how does this connect?

01:25:13.000 But so I actually go to the website, I'm like, okay, what is he up to, Mr. Gore?

01:25:17.000 And then you find out he has six homes with a collective 60,000 square feet of, you know, not him.

01:25:23.000 Not him.

01:25:23.000 It's not about him and all that.

01:25:25.000 But you know, the reason I'm really excited to be here is because I think there's the problem definition is great.

01:25:30.000 But this is where the new story comes in.

01:25:32.000 And there's all these young people in particular, every revolution starts with young people, right?

01:25:35.000 I feel like the Great Reset is really just a lot of older people.

01:25:38.000 Yeah, you know, saying, Here's how we have to hold on to this, you know, keep it all stitched together.

01:25:42.000 But there's young people farming in ways that are regenerative.

01:25:46.000 I've seen people at scale, like, building soil in ways where everything comes back in natural abundance.

01:25:51.000 So it's not that we're, we can't do this.

01:25:53.000 People are like, oh, how, without Monsanto, how would we feed the world?

01:25:55.000 The truth is we can.

01:25:57.000 There's models out there, but we're not doing it.

01:25:59.000 And we should be.

01:26:00.000 I think we got a great glimpse of this when the leftists took over the autonomous zone and they had their LARP farm where they were throwing down cardboard.

01:26:10.000 How'd that work out?

01:26:11.000 It didn't, it didn't work out.

01:26:13.000 But one thing that you were advocating for was for individuals to learn how to farm, how to be sustainable to themselves.

01:26:20.000 There's many benefits to this and it's something that I've been telling people to do as well and I think it's key and I think it's crucial and I think we're reaching a point where it might be even essential.

01:26:30.000 Oh, the great reskilling.

01:26:31.000 I think that's the great movement that's coming.

01:26:34.000 Graphene is going to change everything.

01:26:36.000 Are you familiar with it?

01:26:37.000 Graphene?

01:26:37.000 Yeah, that could.

01:26:38.000 They figured out last year how to print graphene from carbon dioxide by depositing it onto copper and palladium with hydrogen turned into oxygen.

01:26:46.000 So it's going to come to a point where we're harvesting too much carbon dioxide and we're competing with the trees.

01:26:51.000 And we're going to have to build an industry for the 21st century that works in tandem with the trees so that we don't use too much of it.

01:26:58.000 I just bought these graphene composite batteries.

01:27:02.000 They have two and a half full cell phone charges, like external batteries.

01:27:05.000 They charge in 15 minutes.

01:27:07.000 That's crazy.

01:27:08.000 Yeah, the 20%, it's the new steel.

01:27:10.000 It's going to change everything.

01:27:11.000 I mean, it already has.

01:27:13.000 We can also use iron fertilization to reintroduce iron oxide into the ocean to grow the plankton so that it'll It has some carbon dioxide sequestering capability, but it's more for creating plankton for the fish to regrow the fish population and it might solve the jellyfish issue.

01:27:31.000 That's all very promising, Ian.

01:27:35.000 Where does intersectionality and diversity come into these programs?

01:27:38.000 They get to go to space!

01:27:39.000 Are the people who are developing these iron oxide things, do they have a board that is equally male and female with some non-binary and non-white individuals?

01:27:46.000 Yeah.

01:27:46.000 Because The Great Reset incorporates this intersectionality stuff, too, for some reason.

01:27:49.000 People from all over.

01:27:50.000 That's the other thing.

01:27:52.000 Look, I can criticize Greta Thunberg for saying, like, how dare you?

01:27:55.000 And then getting on this, you know, really multi-million dollar trip on the ocean that, like, no one could do in their lifetime.

01:28:02.000 It's a useful tool to push their agenda.

01:28:04.000 I can criticize that, but also I'm just curious, what does intersectionality and like wokeness

01:28:08.000 have to do with fixing the planet?

01:28:12.000 So I think it's a useful tool to push their agenda.

01:28:15.000 It's a useful tool to subjugate people, to see each other as different, to divide and 0.87

01:28:20.000 conquer them so they could easily conquer us and have us fighting each other rather 0.98

01:28:24.000 than realizing the actual crap that we're in. 0.99

01:28:26.000 It's like they're bored. 0.97

01:28:27.000 Like when you're focused on something, you're not thinking about if you're a man, you don't, that doesn't enter what you're working on.

01:28:33.000 You're doing something.

01:28:34.000 That's that thing.

01:28:35.000 You know, what I am is not there when I'm working on that.

01:28:38.000 Did you see the viral tweet?

01:28:39.000 So we got to give people something to work on.

01:28:40.000 Do you see the viral tweet that asks all cis people to ask themselves these questions because they'll realize they're actually trans?

01:28:50.000 No joke.

01:28:51.000 And I think James Lindsay, who's one of the foremost experts on wokeness, wrote about it.

01:28:56.000 They were proposing a fake study where everyone is trans.

01:29:00.000 But this is what we're actually seeing.

01:29:02.000 Trans activists saying every child should be put on puberty blockers.

01:29:05.000 We're seeing trans activists say that everyone is trans and things like that.

01:29:09.000 And, uh, I mean, you know, if you are, you know, do your thing, that's cool.

01:29:12.000 I'm just wondering how the intersectionality, wokeness, non-binary stuff, that's incorporated into all this.

01:29:19.000 How am I supposed to believe that these people are serious about saving the planet when they're talking about stuff that's totally irrelevant to it and flying around in private jets?

01:29:27.000 That's my problem.

01:29:28.000 I want to believe.

01:29:29.000 I want to believe.

01:29:31.000 I want to get a low-flow toilet.

01:29:32.000 I want to get a low-flow showerhead. 0.54

01:29:34.000 And it's like trickling down and you can barely shower and you're like, well, I'm doing what I can for the planet.

01:29:37.000 But then they're, they're getting like, I tell you these rich people, they've got those showers where they have like five jets all around them and it's raining like the whole building.

01:29:45.000 It's like a thousand square feet of just raining on them.

01:29:47.000 And they're like, like, you know, apoptosis, that function of nature that where cells will just kill themselves if they're no longer needed.

01:29:54.000 That's real.

01:29:55.000 That's scary.

01:29:56.000 That's how mentality works.

01:29:59.000 Let me just say one thing.

01:30:01.000 If you live in the middle of nowhere and you're in a well, I don't think there's a big deal with taking a long shower, right?

01:30:07.000 Because it's like, it's just well water.

01:30:09.000 It's not going to go back into the earth or something, right?

01:30:11.000 Yeah.

01:30:11.000 It's like the cities that are straining and taking up too much fresh water.

01:30:14.000 Is that the problem?

01:30:15.000 Well, this whole idea.

01:30:16.000 So they've been pushing things down like there are issues.

01:30:18.000 You mentioned this, Luke, right?

01:30:19.000 So it's like, if you could just be a little bit better and buy a smaller car, maybe have a smaller life or just, you know, shower for, you know, on a low flow for just a couple minutes, all that.

01:30:29.000 That isn't going to do squat.

01:30:30.000 When you really look at where we are, there's difference.

01:30:33.000 So a problem has a solution.

01:30:35.000 And we talk about a lot of things like they're problems, but other things are just predicaments.

01:30:38.000 And a predicament only is an outcome.

01:30:39.000 You got to manage that, right?

01:30:41.000 So Japan has an aging population and is getting smaller.

01:30:44.000 That's a predicament.

01:30:45.000 There's no solution to that that you're going to solve by passing a new law.

01:30:49.000 But what are they doing with their banking system?

01:30:50.000 They're just printing more and more and more debt because they're like, our economy has to grow.

01:30:54.000 No, the economy should shrink.

01:30:55.000 It should shrink just like their people are shrinking. 1.00

01:30:57.000 The economy should be in service of the people, but they have it all backwards.

01:31:00.000 So in this story, you're mentioning all these things like intersectionality and things like that.

01:31:05.000 They don't even relate to the predicaments we've been just talking about.

01:31:08.000 To me, the most important thing is we should have a national and if not a global plan that says, what are we going to do when, not if, but when all these fossil fuels really begin to wind down?

01:31:16.000 How are we going to feed everybody?

01:31:18.000 What does the future look like?

01:31:19.000 What do our cities look like?

01:31:21.000 Where are people going to live?

01:31:21.000 What are they going to do?

01:31:22.000 These are big questions.

01:31:24.000 I mean, people are being forced out of cities because of all the chaos.

01:31:28.000 One of the things I was saying is that I think one of the, on the bright side is a lot of people are going to start to understand the value of hard work.

01:31:34.000 You got no choice, but you can't, if you have no job and you need to eat, you got to figure out how you're going to eat.

01:31:38.000 You move out of the big city, go to the middle of nowhere, build your own little shack and then farm.

01:31:41.000 Now, what you mentioned with Japan is that also actually happening in China.

01:31:45.000 Because of their one-child policy, they have an inequity between men and women.

01:31:49.000 And they're also trying to figure out a way to, of course, keep their economic growth by keeping their population large, and they're having a hard time because they don't want to open their borders.

01:31:58.000 Europe, on the other hand, their populations are declining very rapidly.

01:32:02.000 And some European economic analysts are saying that we need to open the borders, we need to let the third world in to help give more people so we have more economic growth in our country. 0.94

01:32:16.000 That's literally what they were arguing.

01:32:18.000 And I think we also have to see exactly what's happening as the populations of Japan decline and the populations of the Western world decline as well.

01:32:26.000 I think those are also things that are very eye-opening.

01:32:29.000 No, I'm in this totally wackadoodle camp of people who believe that you can't grow forever on a finite planet.

01:32:35.000 So this whole idea of economic growth that's marketed to us all the time, we need growth, we need growth, it's always positively phrased, we're gonna have more jobs, we're gonna have more growth, we're gonna sell more houses, we're gonna more, more, more.

01:32:44.000 It's not hard math.

01:32:44.000 And you can work it out.

01:32:45.000 It's like, eventually that stops.

01:32:47.000 So the question is not, does it?

01:32:47.000 Right.

01:32:49.000 The question is, how is it going to?

01:32:51.000 And are we going to do it in a controlled way or in an uncontrolled way?

01:32:53.000 I think the Great Reset is kind of like a first sort of clumsy stab at, let's see if we can do this in a controlled way, because the uncontrolled way is a hard date with a brick wall.

01:33:01.000 That's, that's kind of, I don't want to, I would rather not do that myself.

01:33:05.000 But the question is, what do you do about that?

01:33:07.000 And the first thing you have to do is people need to be told the truth about this.

01:33:11.000 And the simple truth is you can't grow forever on a finite planet.

01:33:13.000 There's a limit and we've hit it.

01:33:15.000 There's only... We're already at the... Here's the thing.

01:33:17.000 Right now... Well, hold on, hold on.

01:33:19.000 Virtual reality.

01:33:21.000 That's actually... You know what?

01:33:23.000 That could be pretty cool.

01:33:23.000 Yeah.

01:33:24.000 More like we harvest body heat.

01:33:26.000 Sort of.

01:33:27.000 Matrix.

01:33:27.000 Here's what I'm saying.

01:33:29.000 Greta Thunberg said the idea of infinite economic growth is insanity.

01:33:33.000 And I'm like, I don't know, I kind of play a video game where you spend money for digital nothing.

01:33:38.000 And that makes the economy move.

01:33:39.000 So you can have virtual economic growth.

01:33:42.000 If people start getting really heavy into virtual reality and virtual spaces, you can own things that don't exist in the real world.

01:33:48.000 You can buy... There are video games where there's property that's worth a ton of money, where there's spaceships worth a ton of money, armor sets, weapons.

01:33:55.000 The virtual world, I think, will allow for us to have economic growth that doesn't have a negative impact.

01:33:59.000 Your computer can be mining crypto in the background.

01:34:02.000 Like right now, you can set your computer to be mining Monero.

01:34:04.000 So you could do that with your body, too.

01:34:06.000 But that's, but that's, that's still physical world stuff.

01:34:08.000 I mean, like, what if, if I want to buy something from you, you produce it.

01:34:12.000 Now we've extracted a resource from the planet.

01:34:14.000 What if we're in a virtual world and you gain the sword of a thousand suns or whatever?

01:34:19.000 And I'm like, Ooh, I really want that.

01:34:21.000 So I buy it with currency and no impact on the real world.

01:34:24.000 Where would your body, would your body be like in stasis?

01:34:26.000 No, you'd be in your house and you'd sit down and turn on PlayStation VR.

01:34:30.000 Then you gotta eat, you gotta sleep, you gotta drink water.

01:34:32.000 I'm not saying we stop being alive.

01:34:36.000 I'm saying that instead of growing our economy in terms of building a new building, we build a virtual building.

01:34:41.000 We have meetings in VR where we go into certain spaces.

01:34:44.000 It would diminish the weight of the real world, but you'd still need to eat.

01:34:48.000 Tim Pool would still need food and resources.

01:34:51.000 But he wouldn't need a whole six houses on the Caribbean.

01:34:54.000 You wouldn't need as many things because you'd be satisfied with your digital things.

01:34:58.000 Yes, so we can start building new worlds. 0.86

01:35:01.000 And the other thing, too, is it's not just one world.

01:35:04.000 You could have a spaceship in one virtual space.

01:35:06.000 You could have a home in one virtual space.

01:35:08.000 And we could do a ton of things.

01:35:09.000 And we're about to colonize Mars.

01:35:12.000 Like, we're really about to spread out.

01:35:14.000 So, an interesting idea, too.

01:35:15.000 You're mentioning, like, you know, infinite growth is impossible.

01:35:19.000 It's like we're yeast, you know what I mean?

01:35:21.000 It consumes the sugars and farts itself to death until there's nothing left.

01:35:24.000 And then we eat the bread.

01:35:25.000 Uh, there was a video I watched explaining the problem of, you know, constant reproduction.

01:35:30.000 And they said, imagine there's a jar with a bacteria in it. 0.77

01:35:33.000 Every, you know, minute, the bacteria splits.

01:35:35.000 So a minute goes by, now there's two.

01:35:37.000 Another minute goes by, now there's four.

01:35:39.000 Then, you know, eight, etc., etc.

01:35:41.000 Once they get to the point where they fill half the jar, they say, whoa, we got a problem!

01:35:45.000 If we don't find a new jar in one minute, we'll run out of space.

01:35:49.000 So they find a new jar and say we're going to colonize this new jar a minute goes by another full

01:35:53.000 Not now the full bottle is full and say don't worry the next time we split we'll go to the next bottle

01:35:58.000 They split again. Now both bottles are full and they say great. Now we need two bottles

01:36:01.000 Now we need eight bottles 16, etc, etc. So colonizing mars isn't a long-term solution. It's uh,

01:36:08.000 it's it's Mitigates a lot of the problems, but I do think you know

01:36:13.000 when I hear stuff like you can't have infinite economic growth

01:36:15.000 I think digital spaces and virtual worlds are going to be a big

01:36:19.000 solution to this.

01:36:20.000 Because if you look at games like World of Warcraft, it used to be that you could have a job where you played the game mining, you know, digital gold and then selling it to people for real currency.

01:36:30.000 So you have jobs that Just didn't really produce much of anything.

01:36:33.000 It was a virtual thing that anyone could, like, people who work for Blizzard, the game company, could have just typed some buttons and boop, and the currency appears.

01:36:40.000 Kind of like what they're doing now, right?

01:36:43.000 The point is, we can have it so that people are excited about the things they own, not in the real world.

01:36:49.000 Things that don't have any physical weight to them, that don't have an impact.

01:36:52.000 And how many people do you think would be satisfied with that world?

01:36:56.000 I think all of them.

01:36:59.000 So it's really just an issue of culture acceptance, dopamine triggers, and things like that.

01:37:05.000 I'm sure the great Reset people know this, but like you mentioned, there are a lot of really old people that kind of don't get it.

01:37:10.000 They're very clumsy about it.

01:37:11.000 When they say that in 2030 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, I'm like, well yeah, ignorance is bliss.

01:37:16.000 If you take away the idea of freedom from people, they won't miss it because they'll never have known it existed.

01:37:20.000 I think that's horrifying.

01:37:22.000 But if people get enjoyment out of playing video games, where they can have rank, skill, be a warrior with special weapons that are unique to them that they earned, they'll be happy by it.

01:37:32.000 That could be a possible dystopian future.

01:37:37.000 But also why big companies like Facebook and Google have been investing an exorbitant amount of money specifically in the VR space.

01:37:45.000 I think that's also interesting.

01:37:47.000 You lay out a possibility that could go either way, but you're not that far off as a possibility to what could actually be happening here because I could see it.

01:37:55.000 We already have individuals that are glued to their video games to a point where they are literally wearing diapers.

01:38:02.000 Why is that dystopian?

01:38:04.000 Well, it depends who controls it.

01:38:06.000 If Google and Facebook control it, which they're getting market share of the development of the implementation when they're getting first to market, then I think there's reasons to concern when someone like Facebook controls it all.

01:38:20.000 But if it's done independently, decentralized in a way that is, you know, done in a fair, competitive way, then I think it is possible.

01:38:29.000 But when you look at the space and how it's controlled right now, I think it's more headed towards a dystopian one.

01:38:35.000 Yeah, this is Microsoft patent W-0-2-0-2-0-0-6-0-6-0-6 cryptocurrency system using body activity data, where Microsoft wants to put something inside of you and track your body's What you're looking at, and it'll see if you're looking at a commercial, it'll register that that's the commercial you're watching, and it'll pay you crypto just for experiencing it.

01:38:56.000 So you could do that in VR.

01:38:57.000 That's Microsoft.

01:38:58.000 That's freaky, but let me ask.

01:39:00.000 What if, in the future, people live humble lives, they have small houses where they work, they're self-sustaining, and then they have this virtual reality system where they can go into all these crazy worlds?

01:39:13.000 I love it.

01:39:13.000 All right.

01:39:14.000 Is it dystopian?

01:39:15.000 No, I do it every day.

01:39:16.000 I was on the computer for 12 hours today.

01:39:18.000 I stay on the computer.

01:39:19.000 I'm in the virtual realm as much as I can be.

01:39:22.000 Sometimes I wish I could have five days in one day so I could experience more virtual.

01:39:25.000 Are you going to take Neuralink?

01:39:27.000 Yeah.

01:39:27.000 You would take Neuralink?

01:39:28.000 Yeah, but I'm not going to be first in line.

01:39:29.000 So I also imagine what if... No, I'll wait until like 12 years.

01:39:33.000 I'll wait until... Listen, what if Neuralink created the ability for you to actually plug into an entirely different world?

01:39:40.000 Just totally fictional... I'll make sure that world's safe.

01:39:42.000 No, no, but it's like, it's your world, it's a game world.

01:39:46.000 Where you're not in the real world anymore, and it's a video game, and you can have your, you can be satisfied by the open world.

01:39:53.000 You can go to, you can be in Star Trek, you can travel through space, but you're in internal universes.

01:39:53.000 You know what I mean?

01:39:58.000 You know, something I've seen a lot, um, cause I have a lot of people coming to work on my little farm and certain people of the younger guys, they don't know how to use their hands anymore.

01:40:07.000 Um, and I'm sure every generation says this kids these days, right?

01:40:09.000 But no, there's something really missing from the screen generation and it's problem solving, spatial abilities, all this.

01:40:15.000 So I hear what you're saying, Tim, there's this chance that, you know, we could satisfy the endless human wanting with this in virtual, in a virtual way, which does attack some of the resource issuing, but.

01:40:25.000 Where I'm going with this is I think it's time to admit that, you know, we need to be in relationship again with each other in an important way and with ourselves and with our tactical abilities because there's a, there's a way we learn that requires us to actually manipulate and use things.

01:40:40.000 So I think a lot of people think they're just going to, you know, I have the worst conversation I have is people like, well, Chris, if things ever get that bad, I'll just go out and hunt.

01:40:46.000 And I'm like, you should come with me sometime.

01:40:48.000 Cause you won't survive.

01:40:49.000 Here's what I imagine.

01:40:51.000 It's harder than you think.

01:40:52.000 Here's what I imagine when you say that.

01:40:53.000 You have like this young guy on your farm and he's like, you know, after a few minutes he goes, my hands, why do they hurt?

01:40:58.000 And you go, because you've never used them.

01:41:01.000 My friend said hanging from tree branches improves your, I think he said it was improves your balance.

01:41:06.000 He'll like spend a time every day hanging from a tree branch.

01:41:09.000 It's a monkey, a monkey thing.

01:41:11.000 Yeah, apparently it's really good for the human body.

01:41:13.000 Well, Luke just got his weird, you know, whatever.

01:41:15.000 Power cage.

01:41:16.000 Power cage.

01:41:16.000 Lifting power cage.

01:41:17.000 We're still waiting for the weights.

01:41:19.000 One weight came.

01:41:20.000 Just one.

01:41:21.000 I can't really do much with that.

01:41:23.000 I did some pull-ups today.

01:41:24.000 Did some running today.

01:41:25.000 You know, it feels good.

01:41:26.000 I love it.

01:41:27.000 People need to work out more and be incentivized to work out more and take care of themselves.

01:41:31.000 Because sadly, a lot of people are in a really bad place where They're incentivizing some of the worst behaviors because the corporations are just giving it to them on a silver platter.

01:41:42.000 The laziness is incentivized.

01:41:43.000 It's why I like augmented reality as opposed to virtual reality because you can actually go outside and be in the dirt and be farming and see bonus points.

01:41:51.000 Every time you weed a garden, you get credits.

01:41:54.000 That's a good one.

01:41:55.000 I like that one.

01:41:55.000 But you do what you've got microbiome by actually farming and doing that.

01:42:00.000 You do get physical medical benefits by doing that.

01:42:05.000 Let's take Pokemon Go and make it so that in order to catch the Pokemon, you gotta plant a tree.

01:42:11.000 That's sort of like Pokemon Go meets SimCity meets FarmVille.

01:42:15.000 Imagine this!

01:42:16.000 No, no, actually, I'm kidding.

01:42:18.000 So we have, you know, Pokemon Go where they've actually used, like, Google Maps data to create gyms and stuff.

01:42:23.000 What if they actually mapped out areas that were in need of cleaning?

01:42:26.000 You know, there's garbage.

01:42:28.000 And then part of the game was like, you earned points. 0.57

01:42:30.000 You could pay crypto, literally, a utility token.

01:42:32.000 But it's not even about paying someone so that they can have money.

01:42:34.000 It's about incentivizing the game.

01:42:36.000 Yeah, it could be game tokens.

01:42:37.000 What does someone earn by catching a Pikachu in Pokemon Go?

01:42:40.000 Exactly.

01:42:41.000 They get to accomplish something that makes them feel good.

01:42:43.000 And you could interact with your friends that are also playing the game.

01:42:45.000 Like, if you see them weeding the garden and you help them, you know, do it together, you could get bonus points working together.

01:42:51.000 Yeah, Reddit karma.

01:42:53.000 What's it worth?

01:42:54.000 Nothing.

01:42:54.000 But people want it.

01:42:55.000 They want bad points.

01:42:56.000 Alright, we gotta read Super Chats, everybody.

01:42:58.000 Let's do Super Chats.

01:42:58.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the show, and share it if you really do like it.

01:43:03.000 Sharing is the most important thing you can do.

01:43:05.000 It's the only real way we're gonna grow, is if people like it, and they recommend it to their friends.

01:43:09.000 And if you're listening on iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review, because that also seriously bumps us up, and then more people see it, so it's greatly appreciated.

01:43:16.000 But now we're gonna read what you guys have to say, and we'll start.

01:43:19.000 Let's see.

01:43:21.000 Friendly Neighborhood Sawyer says, Hey Tim, consider doing a segment with former co-workers and other witnesses to recount their version of the UFO sighting you mentioned in a, uh, recent, uh, recently, uh, in a segment.

01:43:31.000 But that was, I mean, that was 2006.

01:43:35.000 It's, uh, been a long time since then, so I don't know where those people are.

01:43:40.000 It was a UFO story.

01:43:42.000 Duncan Massive says, Thoughts on Lauren Southern's new film?

01:43:45.000 I haven't seen it.

01:43:45.000 Have you guys seen it?

01:43:46.000 Nope.

01:43:46.000 What's it called?

01:43:47.000 Crossfire?

01:43:47.000 I haven't seen it.

01:43:48.000 Nope.

01:43:49.000 First he says, bring Adam on for the end of the year.

01:43:51.000 You start with him, finish with him.

01:43:53.000 Uh, we'll see how things go.

01:43:54.000 Hell yeah.

01:43:55.000 New Year's Eve tomorrow, man!

01:43:57.000 We're gonna figure out what we're doing.

01:43:58.000 Luke, Luke wants to do like a crazy...

01:44:01.000 I said, let's go to the shooting range where we could use the flamethrower and have a crazy bash and then bring it back to the old days where we do the live stream, we do the show through the cell phone.

01:44:11.000 In a place where you can use a flamethrower, you're not going to get cell signal.

01:44:13.000 Maybe.

01:44:14.000 We can go early in the day and see what happens.

01:44:14.000 We'll see.

01:44:16.000 We're going to do some research tomorrow and I think that'll be really cool.

01:44:19.000 You know, interestingly... Have a freedom send off to 2020.

01:44:23.000 You can get a satellite for your RV that gets streamable internet.

01:44:25.000 Yeah.

01:44:26.000 Yeah.

01:44:26.000 I mean, you're not going to get it by tomorrow, but you know.

01:44:28.000 Maybe.

01:44:29.000 We'll see.

01:44:29.000 All right, let's see.

01:44:31.000 Astronaut Kitty says, Tim, does your beanie get stinky? 0.94

01:44:34.000 Yes, but I actually have a ton of them, and they get washed.

01:44:38.000 But I have a whole bunch.

01:44:39.000 People don't realize this.

01:44:40.000 You got three for Christmas.

01:44:43.000 Luke got me a cupcake beanie.

01:44:44.000 Cupcake beanie and a light-up beanie with LED lights inside of them.

01:44:47.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:44:47.000 You got one?

01:44:50.000 That was my Christmas gift for Tim.

01:44:51.000 We have a shirt coming soon that says, I am a gorilla.

01:44:54.000 I'm excited for that.

01:44:56.000 It's just because people keep- I want to get one of those Harumph shirts.

01:44:59.000 Harumph.

01:45:00.000 Yeah, I want to wear it on the show.

01:45:01.000 Harumph! 1.00

01:45:02.000 It's like Tim going harumph with the chronicle.

01:45:04.000 Yeah, well, you know, things are gonna get crazier and crazier.

01:45:07.000 the definition of insanity. Masks and lockdowns didn't work.

01:45:09.000 Newsom says more lockdowns. Yeah, well, you know, things are gonna get crazier and crazier.

01:45:15.000 What is one says? Roadrunner 76b says, I bet Kevin James's channel has better audio than than us.

01:45:22.000 He's rich and he's got great production.

01:45:22.000 Yeah, probably.

01:45:24.000 It'd be cool to have a tech guru come in here and just do a once-over on the show.

01:45:28.000 Like a lighting thing, especially.

01:45:29.000 We did.

01:45:30.000 It's just that the issue is, some people talk like this, you know, so... And you're like, we gotta crank their volume up, and then...

01:45:37.000 Some people talk like this!

01:45:39.000 And you're like, whoa, we got to turn the volume down and you just got to change the volume and stuff.

01:45:42.000 So then, then it gets out of sync and we're constantly trying to fix it.

01:45:45.000 And sometimes people will talk really quiet, but then later in the show start ramping up and then getting louder and louder and louder.

01:45:50.000 And then you can see it in like the audio, like the file when we're at, when we're editing, it's like, you can see the audio slowly getting bigger and then it was like, yeah, it's funny.

01:45:57.000 It's like, all right, that's where the yelling is.

01:46:00.000 JGMizz says, Saw Chris.

01:46:02.000 I was like, I need to watch this live.

01:46:04.000 Was researching COVID in November.

01:46:06.000 Got serious on January 13th.

01:46:08.000 I basically scared myself so dropped into mental in April.

01:46:11.000 I found CM.

01:46:12.000 I have watched him every day.

01:46:14.000 I love both you guys.

01:46:15.000 Cool.

01:46:16.000 Thanks.

01:46:17.000 Ben Walker says, spamming the chat because I think this is important.

01:46:21.000 MedCram, Dr. Seholt, vitamin D. I'm not a rich man, but I think that's important.

01:46:25.000 Vitamin D toxicity is incredibly rare.

01:46:27.000 Obese people need more vitamin D. Melanin makes vitamin D from sun harder to absorb.

01:46:31.000 Is that true?

01:46:33.000 True.

01:46:34.000 I've heard that different people from different cultures need more and less amounts of vitamin D. Like someone from Africa, where they're used to getting a lot of sunlight, their body tends to be, they require more.

01:46:47.000 Is that what it is?

01:46:48.000 More vitamin D?

01:46:49.000 Well, they need more sun because they make less vitamin D per unit of skin per sunlight.

01:46:54.000 And blacks have been affected by COVID a lot more than other demographics out there, which is also important to point out.

01:47:00.000 JMaxx says, the crazy thing about COVID is just how varied it is with its symptoms, and people will use the exceptions and extremes when it's beneficial to the narrative they want to push.

01:47:08.000 My wife had it and suffered mild symptoms.

01:47:10.000 Me and the kids were 100% fine.

01:47:12.000 And then you have, you know, some people who get like, you know, blisters or whatever, or now the New York Times is saying some people get psychotic.

01:47:19.000 Blue toes.

01:47:20.000 We heard blue toes.

01:47:21.000 I mean, when we look at the media, we see a wide range of symptoms, a wide range of just information, and it's hard to know what's true sometimes, but we literally went from blue toes to psychosis.

01:47:34.000 Yep.

01:47:35.000 That's a lot.

01:47:35.000 Yeah, it does attack a lot of things.

01:47:37.000 It does.

01:47:38.000 Dakota Johnson says, respect and appreciate everyone's perspective.

01:47:41.000 Quote, we the people need the ability to have a congressional recall upon desire and better control over where and how our taxes are spent, both by the state and federally.

01:47:50.000 I agree with that.

01:47:50.000 Is there like a way to file a redress of grievances?

01:47:54.000 I did a prototype for an app where we could repurpose our taxes collectively.

01:47:58.000 It's on my YouTube channel.

01:48:00.000 It's the last video I did yesterday.

01:48:01.000 Very cool.

01:48:02.000 That would be cool if we could vote on, you know, tax appropriation.

01:48:05.000 People could all vote.

01:48:06.000 Where do you want to go?

01:48:07.000 So if you want to go to Transgender Studies in Pakistan, that's fine. 0.97

01:48:10.000 Let the votes sort of count that and see what happens with it.

01:48:12.000 But I wouldn't have portioned it up this way.

01:48:15.000 I think everybody who voted for that 5,563 page bill should be summarily fired.

01:48:20.000 Yes.

01:48:21.000 If you don't write a bill, you should be perjured or something.

01:48:24.000 Well, well, hold on.

01:48:25.000 Somebody slipped in that the Pentagon has to reveal everything they know about UFOs in 180 days.

01:48:31.000 So, they didn't read it.

01:48:33.000 It's in there!

01:48:34.000 We're good to go!

01:48:35.000 But here's the best part.

01:48:36.000 It wasn't even in the bill.

01:48:37.000 The provision for revealing UFO stuff was attached to another bill that was attached to the omnibus.

01:48:46.000 So, in the omnibus, it's like, here's the Intelligence Authorization Act.

01:48:50.000 And then they said, you can see what we're funding somewhere else.

01:48:54.000 So, even if you read it, you wouldn't see.

01:48:55.000 Oh, that's insidious.

01:48:56.000 I know.

01:48:56.000 But, but, but, yes, but...

01:48:59.000 This time it's going to get us UFOs.

01:49:01.000 So, that one's okay.

01:49:03.000 You know what I mean?

01:49:04.000 That's the one thing I'm actually okay with.

01:49:05.000 Like, well, we did get that, right?

01:49:07.000 Is it worth the trillions of dollars being printed so we can finally... No, I'll tell you what's going to happen.

01:49:11.000 In a couple months, they're going to come out and say, here's everything I know about UFOs.

01:49:13.000 And it's going to be like, there are things in the sky.

01:49:15.000 We don't know what they are.

01:49:16.000 And they're going to be like, we need to print another trillion dollars.

01:49:18.000 What if?

01:49:19.000 We don't know nothing.

01:49:21.000 How many trillions do you guys think they're going to print in 2021?

01:49:24.000 Oh, man.

01:49:24.000 17?

01:49:25.000 Or am I overshooting?

01:49:26.000 It's a big number.

01:49:27.000 9?

01:49:27.000 30 trillion?

01:49:29.000 If we look at the number, the graph right now, they did, how much trillion did they do this year?

01:49:35.000 It was like, they created, I think it was what, four?

01:49:39.000 Three or four trillion?

01:49:40.000 Yeah, they went four this year.

01:49:41.000 But that was just base money, and then the banking system amplified that a bunch by doing what it does.

01:49:46.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:49:47.000 Oh, so it's actually substantially more than that, huh?

01:49:48.000 Mm-hmm.

01:49:49.000 And that's just the U.S.

01:49:50.000 Federal Reserve.

01:49:50.000 You can't look at anyone in isolation.

01:49:52.000 You have to look at all of them.

01:49:53.000 So I look at the Bank of England, the ECB, the Peekaboo Bank of China.

01:49:56.000 You put them all in one spot, Bank of Japan.

01:49:58.000 It's a massive number this year.

01:50:00.000 Yeah, it's just going to exponentially increase until, you know, $10 gets you, uh, you know, just like a pint of milk instead of a gallon.

01:50:07.000 And that's going to be 50 bucks a gallon.

01:50:09.000 And you're going to be struggling to, you know, get what you want.

01:50:12.000 Should I buy Bitcoin?

01:50:13.000 That's what they'll be thinking when it's 50 bucks a gallon.

01:50:15.000 Oh, we got one for you, Ian.

01:50:16.000 Justin Bookman says, I love it.

01:50:19.000 After many episodes trying to argue about the banks, Ian gets his moment and Tim can't do anything about it.

01:50:24.000 Loving the conversation.

01:50:25.000 It's because Chris is on the show, dude.

01:50:27.000 Thanks to Luke, bringing Chris on the show.

01:50:29.000 Loving the conversation while I wait to get loaded.

01:50:31.000 By the way, Luke recommended a pistol.

01:50:34.000 You guys are awesome, and Ian, gorilla chest thump.

01:50:36.000 I'm a gorilla.

01:50:37.000 That's what I'm talking about!

01:50:39.000 I can't wait till we get these shirts that say, I'm a gorilla.

01:50:41.000 It's like a gorilla, like, grrr, I'm a gorilla.

01:50:43.000 Yeah.

01:50:44.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:50:46.000 DBZDragon says, this reminds me of the premise of the movie Elysium.

01:50:50.000 Yeah, all the rich people went in a space station.

01:50:52.000 You know what I loved about the movie?

01:50:53.000 The people in the space station spoke French, and the people on Earth spoke Spanish.

01:50:57.000 Like, what is that supposed to be?

01:50:58.000 Like, the snooty elite speak French, and the poor people speak Spanish? 1.00

01:51:03.000 Like, what's that all about?

01:51:04.000 It's like France just, like, super rich or something?

01:51:06.000 Their debt to GDP is nuts.

01:51:08.000 Yeah, it's like 230%.

01:51:09.000 They're borrowing like crazy.

01:51:11.000 Turkey Face says, Thank you, Chris, for your early and continual COVID coverage.

01:51:15.000 You've helped a lot of people with your info.

01:51:16.000 Keep up the great work, and don't let big tech silence you.

01:51:19.000 Thanks.

01:51:19.000 I won't.

01:51:21.000 Ethan Johansen says, Solution to climate change is having us farmers plant more plants, and letting plants change the soil instead of plowing it.

01:51:28.000 Keep CO2 in the ground, too.

01:51:30.000 Feed our cows more grass, too.

01:51:31.000 I like putting a roof over my cows' heads, too, though.

01:51:34.000 You know I went to a bunch of farms in California during the drought and there was like one farm I went to and the cows were doing their thing but there was no there was no gate like it was just open and so I was talking to the farmer and I was like there's no like enclosure and he was like okay and I was like but like the cows will leave and he goes yeah and I was like so don't the cows leave he goes yeah sometimes Wait, hold on.

01:51:57.000 You have cows.

01:51:58.000 You're dairy cows. 0.98

01:51:59.000 They just leave.

01:52:00.000 And he goes, uh-huh.

01:52:01.000 And then what?

01:52:02.000 Then they come back.

01:52:03.000 And I was like, really?

01:52:03.000 You're not worried?

01:52:04.000 He's like, no, I got food.

01:52:05.000 I was like, oh.

01:52:06.000 But I was told all the time that cows hate it, it's miserable, it's awful.

01:52:09.000 And he was like, no, they like it here.

01:52:11.000 I was like, oh, okay.

01:52:12.000 I guess they're really bad factory farms, though, if you drive down, like, uh, I think, like, uh, what was it, Route 88?

01:52:16.000 In California?

01:52:18.000 No, through Texas, when you're, like, driving south.

01:52:19.000 I'm not sure.

01:52:19.000 You can see a bunch of really nasty mud pits and, like... Oh, yeah.

01:52:22.000 But he's right about the cows.

01:52:24.000 So I got cows this year.

01:52:25.000 Decided we're gonna get cows. 1.00

01:52:27.000 That's how you learn about cows. 0.95

01:52:27.000 That's how you learn about anything. 0.95

01:52:28.000 You get them.

01:52:28.000 So we get these cows.

01:52:30.000 Two of them went in the freezer, but we have these two belted Galloways.

01:52:33.000 We had this big snowstorm and I'm all proud because I just built a pole barn for them.

01:52:36.000 I used my own sawmill, trees from the whole thing.

01:52:38.000 It was like this whole, like, you know, little house in the prairie, but with a modern sawmill, right?

01:52:42.000 So a great moment.

01:52:43.000 So the first morning of that snowstorm, I stumped down to the, to the barn.

01:52:47.000 Cause I'm like, I'm going to watch them enjoying this enclosure I built for them.

01:52:50.000 And I get down there and they're not in it.

01:52:52.000 They're out in the middle of the field, just lying down with 17 inches of snow over both of them.

01:52:56.000 They look dead.

01:52:57.000 So I stump out there and they're both happy as can be just lying there.

01:52:59.000 So that was, that was the cow choice. 0.82

01:53:01.000 They, they choose what they want to do.

01:53:03.000 Right?

01:53:04.000 Our survival civilization should have Chris on.

01:53:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:53:09.000 I just thought it was crazy that, like, the guy basically said, the cows will leave sometimes.

01:53:13.000 And I'm like, you don't care?

01:53:14.000 He's like, nah, they come back.

01:53:15.000 Like, they want to eat, you know?

01:53:17.000 So they'll go do their thing.

01:53:17.000 They don't want to go and they're happy.

01:53:19.000 I was like, wow, that's crazy.

01:53:20.000 I didn't know that.

01:53:21.000 Yeah, it's kind of cool.

01:53:22.000 Because I hear a lot of horror stories, you know?

01:53:26.000 Let's see.

01:53:26.000 Dressiel says, Tim, I work at Walmart.

01:53:28.000 Pay is a lot better.

01:53:30.000 I make $18 an hour.

01:53:31.000 Even the door hosts, produce, and auto associates make base $15 an hour.

01:53:35.000 It's gotten a lot better and would be good to point that out.

01:53:37.000 Well then, uh, you know, I can respect that.

01:53:40.000 It's probably true.

01:53:41.000 I take your word for it.

01:53:42.000 I've certainly heard that people have said Walmart's tried to improve their image on that.

01:53:45.000 And it's also true that you go to Walmart during like peak hours and they have like 20 registers, but only two are open.

01:53:50.000 Probably because they're paying people better.

01:53:52.000 But they got a lot of self-checkouts now, so that's probably another reason why people are getting paid more.

01:53:55.000 Which probably means a lot of people lost their jobs.

01:53:57.000 Yeah, well, there you go.

01:54:00.000 My Google thing just came on.

01:54:01.000 It thought that someone was talking to it.

01:54:03.000 That's so freaky.

01:54:04.000 It happens to my phone all the time on this show.

01:54:06.000 Oh, that's disgusting.

01:54:06.000 And then I see it recording everything I'm saying and the words are popping up.

01:54:09.000 I'm like, okay, that's not okay.

01:54:11.000 That's why you turn that feature off.

01:54:13.000 Yes, you can't turn it off.

01:54:14.000 Alright, see, Ethan Johansson says, first of all, you'd have to eat 50,000 bushels of corn in order for Roundup to hurt you.

01:54:19.000 However, us farmers hate Monsanto too.

01:54:22.000 Cover crops.

01:54:23.000 Cover crops will help get away from them.

01:54:26.000 Look up Gabe Brown and Ray Archuleta for more info on regenerative agriculture.

01:54:32.000 Cool.

01:54:32.000 Gabe Brown is one of the people I'm thinking of.

01:54:34.000 At scale, this guy operates 3,000 acres, 1,000 head of cattle or something, and he's building soil.

01:54:40.000 He's doing a beautiful job.

01:54:41.000 No inputs, no chemicals.

01:54:43.000 It's amazing.

01:54:44.000 Cover crops, it's just beautiful.

01:54:46.000 With no pesticide, herbicide, fungicide?

01:54:49.000 Nobody's not doing any of that.

01:54:50.000 So, uh, Unlex Ghost says, check your account.

01:54:52.000 $600 should be in there tonight.

01:54:54.000 Also, Maricopa is having its rally be at Washington DC, January 4th through the 6th.

01:54:58.000 You know, we saw this story that Dallas apparently like grounded a bunch of

01:55:02.000 flights cause it was like a COVID breakout or something.

01:55:04.000 I wonder if there's going to be some unfortunate transportation errors and

01:55:10.000 mishaps just before the 6th.

01:55:11.000 Cause I feel like people are going to show up when, you know, if, if you've got people who aren't super political breaking in the doors of a supermarket, cause they want to shop.

01:55:20.000 What do you think Trump supporters are going to be doing?

01:55:22.000 You're like, I'm seeing people posting.

01:55:23.000 They're going to fly across the country, then to drive across the country.

01:55:26.000 We'll see how it plays out, I suppose.

01:55:29.000 Emperor Geiseric says, Tim Foyle hat time.

01:55:32.000 Trump could not be trusted to get on board with the Great Reset, so they did everything possible to make sure he's out of the way.

01:55:38.000 These religious true believers will do anything to, quote, save the world.

01:55:42.000 Perhaps, perhaps.

01:55:44.000 Let's see.

01:55:44.000 Okay, I read that one.

01:55:47.000 Cindy Smith says, uh, Gavin Newsom companies, plump Jack Coe's, got more than $3 million of PPP funds.

01:55:55.000 One winery got a million dollars with 14 employees.

01:55:58.000 12-8-20 ABC News story, then goes to fancy dinner parties.

01:56:01.000 Yeah, CA is angry.

01:56:03.000 And that's the problem, man.

01:56:04.000 I want to believe that we're all fighting the good fight in this together.

01:56:07.000 They're not in it with us.

01:56:09.000 There's this really funny comic where it's a four panel comic and there's like a woman and she's like, you know, I'm at my infinity pool in my private condo, social distancing. 0.99

01:56:18.000 Then one guy's like, I'm on my yacht.

01:56:19.000 And then there's a woman like sitting in her like filth in like her crummy apartment with a can of beans on the ground. 1.00

01:56:24.000 She's like, they're just like me.

01:56:25.000 Yeah, just like you.

01:56:29.000 Brad's Organic and Clean Energy says, I'm an HVAC technician and organic farmer.

01:56:33.000 Sustainable farming is one of the most vital building blocks of a peaceful future I can see.

01:56:37.000 Hungry rats and squirrels losing it in New York City.

01:56:39.000 I emailed you guys about collaboration.

01:56:42.000 Dude, there's gangs of rats running through the streets of New York because there's no food anymore.

01:56:47.000 They're becoming aggressive and angry.

01:56:48.000 Could you imagine, like, you get bit by a rat?

01:56:50.000 Gotta go to the doctor, get that rabies shot, you know?

01:56:52.000 Or a squirrel jumps on you and tries eating you, like, just desperate to just That's okay, you'll just be sent home with COVID.

01:56:59.000 Yep, yep.

01:56:59.000 It's like, I got bit by a squirrel.

01:57:00.000 So you're saying COVID.

01:57:02.000 No, it's squirrel.

01:57:03.000 The squirrel's actually still latched to my back.

01:57:05.000 Yeah, COVID it is.

01:57:07.000 All right, go home and then call animal control.

01:57:12.000 Yep.

01:57:13.000 Joe Rob says, could you use Neuralink with your pets?

01:57:16.000 Hmm.

01:57:17.000 Yeah, they use them on PIGS. 1.00

01:57:19.000 They were testing them on PIGS.

01:57:20.000 But so far, it's like Neuralink actually transports you to a virtual reality world, you know?

01:57:24.000 It's read-only right now.

01:57:25.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:57:27.000 Getting to that right part would be very, you know, that's where things get crazy.

01:57:29.000 Oh my god.

01:57:31.000 JesusSavesButDoesntTrustBanks says, Tim, I don't know if you saw my Super Chat yesterday, I wanted to know your thoughts on Objectivism.

01:57:37.000 After replaying Bioshock, I want to know if you think it can be implemented and work in today's world as a solution.

01:57:42.000 I don't know enough about objectivism other than objectivists think libertarians stole their ideas.

01:57:47.000 What is objectivism?

01:57:48.000 Like Ayn Rand.

01:57:50.000 What is that?

01:57:52.000 They believe that all of the wealthiest people should get in a private plane and fly to West Virginia to create their own- I'm kidding.

01:57:58.000 I don't know.

01:57:58.000 It's like, I don't know enough about it and I don't want to, you know, get it wrong.

01:58:02.000 But the general, I think, it aligns similarly in some ways with anarcho-capitalism and libertarianism.

01:58:09.000 But I do think there are distinctions.

01:58:10.000 Are you familiar with it at all?

01:58:11.000 Not much, no.

01:58:12.000 Because I talked to an objectivist who said libertarians stole our ideas, and I'm like, okay, I don't know, what does that mean?

01:58:17.000 Does it mean you're a libertarian?

01:58:18.000 No!

01:58:19.000 We were the originals!

01:58:20.000 I'm like, okay, okay, whatever.

01:58:21.000 Oh, here, objectivism is philosophicalism developed by Ayn Rand.

01:58:25.000 Well, libertarian ideas are great.

01:58:27.000 Libertarian candidates are horrible and they make everything look bad.

01:58:32.000 I understand. 0.98

01:58:33.000 I want to be associated with them.

01:58:35.000 If they could just dress better, that would be a great start.

01:58:37.000 Didn't some dude like take his pants off?

01:58:39.000 I was there in person as that was happening.

01:58:41.000 I was filming there.

01:58:43.000 I just like flabbergasted.

01:58:44.000 I don't know.

01:58:45.000 He just... I mean, it's the Libertarian Convention and... They were, like, arguing, debating whether you can sell heroin to kids.

01:58:53.000 Yes.

01:58:54.000 Like, conservatives were laughing about it, like, no!

01:58:56.000 And very other adult topics that we can't get into on this family-friendly show, but it was... And then the pants came off.

01:59:03.000 Yes.

01:59:03.000 Yeah, at least it was entertaining, but there was a literal gasp in the room.

01:59:06.000 There was like...

01:59:07.000 Was it like an argument?

01:59:08.000 No.

01:59:09.000 Of like, you're not a real libertarian, you're not, oh yeah, and then he rips his pants off?

01:59:12.000 No, they were given some time to speak, the guy came on stage and he just started stripping.

01:59:17.000 And everyone was really, I mean some people laughed, but a lot of people were disappointed. 0.81

01:59:22.000 But he proved you were all fake libertarians. 0.88

01:59:24.000 Because if you really believed in freedom, you couldn't stop him from getting naked! 0.64

01:59:27.000 So what's objectivism?

01:59:30.000 Ayn Rand described it as the concept of man as a heroic being with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.

01:59:41.000 Oh, interesting.

01:59:42.000 It's very vague.

01:59:43.000 It's kind of like a horoscope.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, I think the idea, like, some people believe... Well, I'll put it this way.

01:59:50.000 I don't trust a centralized group of, you know, Davos group type people to know how to solve the problems of the world.

01:59:56.000 I think a decentralized system would probably solve it much quicker and more efficiently, and that tends to be the case.

02:00:02.000 It's like a billion minds focusing on a problem are gonna come up with a variety of solutions and a better solution than one mind trying to figure it out.

02:00:11.000 Now, you can argue that one supercomputer can be equal to a thousand regular computers, but one person is just one brain compared to a billion brains.

02:00:19.000 Now, I'm not sure that humans are greedy enough to get the problem done before we get Great Filtered out of existence, so it's a serious conundrum.

02:00:25.000 The problem is, who do you trust to put the boot down and force people to take action?

02:00:30.000 I don't trust these people because Gavin Newsom gets a bunch of money and then goes and parties.

02:00:34.000 Barack Obama's buying B-Trent property.

02:00:37.000 I don't believe these people.

02:00:38.000 I think they're lying to us.

02:00:39.000 I think we all think they're lying to us.

02:00:43.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

02:00:44.000 Sam Meehan says, Tim, you should look up a film, 2047, Virtual Revolution.

02:00:48.000 It explores a lot of what you've talked about today.

02:00:51.000 Cool.

02:00:51.000 Sounds like a Black Mirror episode, too.

02:00:53.000 But, like, imagine if you had the ability, like, imagine that the Matrix was real, right?

02:00:57.000 But you weren't a prisoner enslaved in the Matrix.

02:01:00.000 You were free to leave, it's just the world was boring because nobody was really doing anything, and it was, like, not a whole lot to do.

02:01:06.000 But in the virtual world, you have 50 different realities where you've got various characters.

02:01:11.000 You can go to the one world where you can fly and throw fireballs, and one world where you're the president.

02:01:16.000 You'd have a lot of fun.

02:01:17.000 Have you guys ever smoked salvia divinorum?

02:01:20.000 Because I will tell you, The Matrix is real.

02:01:22.000 We are in it right now.

02:01:24.000 I once worked for a venue where a dude smoked salvia and it just dropped to the floor and just started staring at the wall.

02:01:29.000 That's what happens.

02:01:30.000 They ran in and they couldn't bring him back out of it.

02:01:33.000 I smoked it and I saw the grid.

02:01:35.000 And it was twisting.

02:01:37.000 And I felt like I was twisting, but I just saw this.

02:01:40.000 I could see the matrix.

02:01:41.000 You ever do DMT?

02:01:42.000 That's crazy.

02:01:43.000 One of my favorite videos ever is gardening on Salvia.

02:01:46.000 I have not seen that.

02:01:47.000 What happens?

02:01:48.000 A guy, he comes out and he starts to explain.

02:01:49.000 He's got a trowel.

02:01:50.000 He's got a plant.

02:01:51.000 He's got some fertilizer.

02:01:52.000 He starts explaining.

02:01:53.000 He says, but first I'm going to take a hit.

02:01:55.000 smokes up some salvia and he gets about halfway through a shovel full and then he starts crawling around then he just lays down for a while and uh that's how the whole video goes it's good that's the uh they call it the diviner sage that's what salvia salvia means sage divinorum is the diviners that's what the natives called it right on all right let's read a couple more of these here super chats again if you haven't already smash that like button all right let's see what you got here Mafu says, Tim, can you make some React to Super Chat videos?

02:02:24.000 I think you can make some more moolah.

02:02:26.000 Love you, buddy, and I'll be looking for you Wednesday.

02:02:29.000 Yeah, perhaps.

02:02:29.000 We have the proprietary website coming soon, and we're gonna have vlog content and members-only content.

02:02:35.000 We're gonna have bonus segments.

02:02:37.000 So, you know, we typically try to keep the show, it's supposed to be 8 to 10, but we always go over, like we're going over now.

02:02:43.000 But, you know, I'll do my best.

02:02:44.000 But then we wanna do, like, you know, we're gonna wrap up the show, and then we'll record for another 10 minutes the uncensored.

02:02:50.000 All the things that we can't say, that we're gonna say, it'll be on the website, which is coming soon, which is gonna be really, really great.

02:02:55.000 And then, of course, yeah, we'll have more interaction with those who have questions, and the idea is that we want to have like a commenting system, kind of like a Discord, but not Discord, where you can, as a member, comment on videos and ask questions, and we'll all be, you know, engaging and, you know.

02:03:11.000 I think that's the best path to creating something sustainable.

02:03:14.000 It allows us to make sure that if there are things we think we need to talk about, names we need to say, and stories that need to be brought up, we'll always have a place to do it.

02:03:23.000 There hasn't really been anything I think that...

02:03:26.000 There are a few stories we can't do, because YouTube will take the video down, the stream, the live stream down, and it's almost like, well, what's the point?

02:03:33.000 Just to, like, claim we tried?

02:03:34.000 If it gets taken down, then we're not saying anything to anybody.

02:03:37.000 That's why we need this website up soon, and that's what we're gonna do, so it's gonna be really great, and we're gonna do a bunch more stuff, too, a lot of stuff in the work.

02:03:44.000 I will say, too, in reference to Scanner as well, a lot of people were asking questions about, like, what's going on with Scanner, you know, Rocco and Emily are doing their thing, and I just wanna point out, I hope everybody realizes, COVID, like, really disrupted everything.

02:03:58.000 I mean, I was trying to buy a building, set up an office, and hire people, and do all this stuff in 2019, and then once we got into winter, and we were trying to figure out, you know, how we were going to set up the new studio, and a lot of stuff happened.

02:04:11.000 We were moving.

02:04:13.000 Once COVID came in, everything was just frozen, and it made everything really, really difficult.

02:04:18.000 So I'll just say that, you know.

02:04:20.000 But yeah, we're definitely going to be expanding, doing a lot of great work, so definitely stick around.

02:04:25.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:04:26.000 Let me just read a couple more of these Super Chats. 0.97

02:04:27.000 gets.

02:04:28.000 Silently in Atlanta says, Lydia might like this guest. 0.99

02:04:31.000 Mike Rowe.

02:04:32.000 Ask Mike about the farm episodes and the Poo Pot maker. 0.69

02:04:35.000 Fun alien perspective is end of Battlestar Galactica.

02:04:38.000 I love that show.

02:04:39.000 Yes.

02:04:40.000 Mike Rowe, I'd love to have you on the show.

02:04:42.000 Mike's amazing.

02:04:43.000 I interviewed him before.

02:04:44.000 I might be able to find some kind of contact information.

02:04:46.000 Hit him up! 1.00

02:04:47.000 And right now he's on this big campaign that's called Safety Third and he talks about how we as a society are failing because we have too much of an emphasis on being safe and being always 100% okay and in reality you have to let go of that if you want to progress And what he's doing right now his campaign is something truly something to look forward to and to promote I think I'm pretty sure I broke my left wrist skating maybe like a week and a half ago and Then I was skating a few days ago and I tried to do I was just I was just warming up I was doing a switch flip

02:05:22.000 But this sometimes happens where my front foot landed on the nose of the board and my back foot hit the ground, which caused the board to spring straight up like a hammer and whack my thumb so hard it was throbbing.

02:05:34.000 It was brutal pain.

02:05:34.000 Now there's like blood all over the nail.

02:05:37.000 Look.

02:05:37.000 You gotta pay your dues, man.

02:05:38.000 That's what we call it. 1.00

02:05:40.000 I'll be skating with Adam, and Adam will fall down and bust his ass. 1.00

02:05:45.000 And we left. 1.00

02:05:46.000 You gotta pay your dues.

02:05:47.000 I took the leaf blower, and I got on the skateboard, and I saw what it could do.

02:05:51.000 We have flamethrowers for a reason.

02:05:53.000 We gotta play with them, alright?

02:05:55.000 We gotta figure out how far things go boom.

02:05:57.000 What I'm saying is, you wanna skate?

02:05:59.000 You're gonna get hurt.

02:06:00.000 When I see little kids on the halfpipe and they're scared to drop in, I'm like, you're gonna fall.

02:06:04.000 And they go, what?

02:06:04.000 I'm like, you're gonna fall.

02:06:05.000 Accept it as a fact, and then get on with it.

02:06:08.000 The longer you stay up there scared and don't do anything, you're never gonna do it.

02:06:12.000 The first time I tried to drop in on a quarter pipe, I fell down, and I got hurt, and I laughed, and I ran back up, and then I did it.

02:06:18.000 You have to accept that you're gonna get hurt, you're gonna get scrapes, you're gonna get bruises, and sometimes the accidents are really, really bad, and not everybody makes it.

02:06:25.000 Sometimes you're driving down the road, trying to be all safe, boom, hit by a car.

02:06:28.000 Did you see something?

02:06:28.000 Sometimes you're staying home because you're too scared to go anywhere, you slip in your bathroom, boom, hit your head in the sink, now you're dead.

02:06:33.000 That Tom Segura, you know Tom Segura, one of Rogan's best friends, he was playing basketball, man, and fell down and shattered his arm.

02:06:41.000 His bone is completely broken apart.

02:06:43.000 His knee got shattered.

02:06:45.000 I'm nervous about snowboarding after that.

02:06:48.000 I want to just think for the rest of my life.

02:06:52.000 We went outside when it snowed here, and I put on the snowboard.

02:06:56.000 And front flipped, not on purpose.

02:07:00.000 And then I just started, it hurt.

02:07:01.000 I had like scrapes all up my arm.

02:07:04.000 And I was like, I did a front flip today.

02:07:05.000 I was like, oh really?

02:07:06.000 Not on purpose, but you know, it was fun.

02:07:08.000 I was snowboarding down and I'm not a snowboarder.

02:07:11.000 I can snowboard, but I just leaned forward and it was all deep, fresh powder.

02:07:15.000 And I got caught and just front flipped.

02:07:17.000 And it was awesome.

02:07:18.000 And I landed, but then I fell backwards because I didn't really land.

02:07:22.000 And then my wrist is already kind of broken because I fell on it.

02:07:25.000 And I was like, Ow, my wrist!

02:07:26.000 It's funny.

02:07:27.000 And I'm just gonna keep getting injured.

02:07:29.000 I've messed my ankles up so bad, my legs are covered in scars.

02:07:32.000 Pay your dues!

02:07:33.000 I can walk, I'm fine.

02:07:34.000 You think there's just people that like rough housing and people that don't?

02:07:38.000 Of course.

02:07:38.000 Like, some kids would always want to play basketball and they'd be throwing elbows into each other's faces and like, ha ha ha, and I'm like, God, it hurts so bad.

02:07:44.000 I don't want to elbow someone and I don't want to get elbowed.

02:07:48.000 Skateboarding always hurts.

02:07:49.000 Because falling is a part of skateboarding.

02:07:52.000 You just keep doing it, you get better at it, you get really consistent.

02:07:55.000 But, you know, you'll fall, you whack your shin, and then you go, oh man, getting, like you'll do a tray flip and the board will hit your shin.

02:08:00.000 It just happens.

02:08:01.000 Sometimes it happens.

02:08:02.000 I mean, you get good enough, eventually it stops happening, but you're always trying to do better.

02:08:06.000 So maybe you'll learn how to do a 360 flip, that's where the board spins 360 and flips, and you can land it every time.

02:08:11.000 Well, now you're trying to do a 360 flip crook and you still whack your shin because you're always trying something new.

02:08:15.000 Anyway, with that being said, You gotta push your edges, though.

02:08:18.000 You have to do it.

02:08:19.000 If you ain't flying, you ain't trying.

02:08:20.000 Exactly.

02:08:21.000 You gotta give it a go.

02:08:21.000 There's always risks.

02:08:23.000 We're not immortals. 0.96

02:08:24.000 We're friends.

02:08:25.000 If there's no danger, it's not actually an adventure.

02:08:28.000 There has to be real danger.

02:08:29.000 If you don't make any mistakes, you won't have any stories to share.

02:08:32.000 But what I could do as a kid was amazing.

02:08:36.000 So most of what I was doing as a kid was a felony now, right?

02:08:39.000 We were mixing things up and putting them in pipes and having fun, right?

02:08:42.000 We did stuff like that, right?

02:08:43.000 Can't do that, nuh-uh.

02:08:44.000 You can't do that anymore.

02:08:46.000 Unless you're making YouTube tutorials.

02:08:48.000 I'll tell you what else.

02:08:49.000 When I was like 7 years old, I'd leave the house and my mom would be like, come back when the lights come on.

02:08:54.000 And that was it.

02:08:55.000 I'm gone.

02:08:56.000 And I'd, like, go around and travel just, like, all throughout the neighborhood and, like, try and see, like, how far could I go before I got scared and then went back home.

02:09:03.000 I was, like, a little kid.

02:09:04.000 Now it's, like, if a little, if a seven-year-old, there was one story where a kid was playing in front of the house and someone called the cops.

02:09:08.000 Yep.

02:09:09.000 And the cops were, like, why is this kid alone?

02:09:10.000 And the mom was, like, he's in front of the house.

02:09:12.000 Or a kid walked home from school, had CPS called on him.

02:09:15.000 Yeah.

02:09:16.000 And, you know, most kids don't walk past the five-block radius in a big city.

02:09:21.000 These kids are going to be emotionally and developmentally disabled.

02:09:25.000 They already are!

02:09:27.000 Safety first.

02:09:28.000 Safety first.

02:09:29.000 Safety third.

02:09:31.000 I think it's a tragedy, I really do.

02:09:35.000 How do you ever find your edges?

02:09:36.000 Particularly for me, my pack of boys that I ran with, we were pushing our edges all the time and everything was unsafe that we did.

02:09:43.000 We just goaded each other to do increasingly unsafe things.

02:09:46.000 Sometimes you just gotta go to Venezuela, or Somalia, or Epstein's Island, whatever it may be!

02:09:51.000 Isn't that crazy?

02:09:54.000 It's the craziest thing, because like, you know, I was talking to my dad, he's a firefighter, and I said something to the effect of like, you know, it's kind of, you know, it's brave of firefighters, they rush into these buildings, they know they could die, and he goes, no they don't!

02:10:06.000 If a firefighter thinks they're going to die, they won't go in the building.

02:10:08.000 They don't do that.

02:10:09.000 They think they're going to be safe because they know how to be safe.

02:10:12.000 And when they get word that the building's coming down or the fire's out of control, they think they're going to die.

02:10:17.000 They'll leave.

02:10:17.000 And I'm like, that's a good point.

02:10:19.000 So when I, uh, Luke and I have both been to some of the craziest places in the world.

02:10:22.000 And I always get asked this question, like, you know, after coming back from some crazy place, like, wow, aren't you scared?

02:10:27.000 Like you could, you could die or whatever.

02:10:28.000 I'm like, dude, if I thought I was going to die, I wouldn't go there.

02:10:30.000 I'm going there because I know how to take care of myself.

02:10:32.000 Bro, Thailand was the craziest.

02:10:35.000 Why is that?

02:10:36.000 Because they were actively shooting at each other.

02:10:38.000 I stood in one of these vehicles where they would parade around in this big truck.

02:10:41.000 A bunch of people would stand in the back and they would all wave and cheer and they were vehicles.

02:10:45.000 One of these trucks, someone pulled up with a motorcycle and threw a grenade right into it.

02:10:50.000 Boom! 0.99

02:10:51.000 Bloodstains all over the bottom of it.

02:10:53.000 And so I actually rode in that after that happened and the bloodstains are on the ground.

02:10:57.000 And I'm wearing like this crappy fake armor because it was the best you could get because it's kind of, you can't, like armor is considered a weapon of war or whatever.

02:11:04.000 Black jacket.

02:11:05.000 Well, so what they were doing was they were taking sheets of x-ray film and stacking them and then putting them in sheets to use as plates because they considered armor to be like a war material or something in Thailand.

02:11:16.000 So here I am in this truck, there's blood stained at my feet and it was a discount vehicle.

02:11:20.000 That's why they bought it.

02:11:21.000 They were like, because of the blood, nobody gets to do it.

02:11:23.000 So they bought it and we're driving through the scene.

02:11:25.000 I'm like, this is crazy.

02:11:26.000 Yeah.

02:11:26.000 And they were just like, just keep in mind if you see the motorcycles try and pull up,

02:11:29.000 that's when you like jump out, get down, the shooting starts. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

02:11:34.000 yeah. I watched them pull down like, and just topple scaffolding. And I'm like, dude, if I

02:11:38.000 thought I was going to be put at risk by going there, I wouldn't go there. What's the point?

02:11:42.000 Exactly.

02:11:42.000 You can't do your job.

02:11:44.000 There's a reason I hired 10 mercenaries to follow me around in Somalia.

02:11:47.000 Yeah Otherwise, you don't go alone, by yourself, without guys with AK-47s.

02:11:54.000 That's just the truth.

02:11:55.000 I mean, but sometimes going in stealth is safer, too.

02:11:57.000 Not in Somalia, if you're my complexion. 0.92
