Chris Martinson joins me in this episode to talk about the crisis in California, and why we should be worried about it. Chris is a Ph.D in Pathology and has been covering COVID for over a year. He's been on the ground in Colorado, New York, and New York City covering it since it was first reported in 2015. He has been one of the most knowledgeable people in the field on the topic, and I think you're going to like what he has to say.
00:01:54.000I mean, first of all, there's actually a virus called COVID and, you know, people get sick and they die from it.
00:02:00.000But more importantly, the emergencies empower those, you know, it gives power to the authorities.
00:02:06.000Declaring an emergency is the easiest way to oppress, suppress, and stay in power.
00:02:10.000So 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.
00:02:18.000I think the reality is, though, there's a, you know, there's a very serious virus.
00:02:24.000But 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.
00:02:56.000Or 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.
00:03:09.000The 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.
00:03:20.000So why should anyone take them seriously?
00:03:23.000Why 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.
00:03:33.000So we're going to talk a lot about this, and we've got probably one of the best people to talk to about it.
00:04:19.000I'm not at all where I started in this story.
00:04:21.000It's interesting too, just before the show, a couple times you were mentioning that we are running out of resources.
00:04:27.000So there's serious consideration for what happens to us if we do.
00:04:32.000Does that imply that there's at least some kind of benefit to a lockdown?
00:04:38.000You could look at it that way, and I see this pattern happening, right?
00:04:42.000So 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.
00:04:52.000You hear these crazy plans like, oh, we'll decarbonize 50% by 2030, right? If
00:04:57.000you did that, the next question you should ask those people who say that is, which
00:05:00.000half of the people are going to die and which 70% of the jobs are going to go away?
00:05:03.000That's the question I had for Greta Thunberg. Not literally.
00:05:59.000The 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.
00:06:06.000Like, when you say that we're running out of resources, then you have these massive lockdowns.
00:06:10.000I'm like, dude, they're already warning us that in the UK there's gonna be food shortages.
00:06:28.000So 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.
00:06:37.000And so I guess, uh, the gorilla is the show mascot for some reason, at least for now, I guess.
00:07:20.000You mean people are stuck in their homes forever?
00:07:22.000They 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.
00:07:40.000LA County, which has recorded 40% of all COVID-19 deaths in the state, reported another 227 new deaths on Tuesday.
00:07:47.000Although 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.
00:08:02.000California'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.
00:08:14.000The 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.
00:09:11.000But also, in April of this year, we heard about 30 other different strains of the coronavirus that happened.
00:09:17.000I 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.
00:09:25.000And I think that's one of the possible reasons.
00:09:27.000They're trying to pass that law where people get taxed even if they leave the state for a certain amount of years.
00:09:36.000Because again, they've spent all their money and they're in a huge deficit.
00:10:48.000If 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.
00:11:14.000And they were like, uh, I don't think I have COVID.
00:11:17.000Like, 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.
00:11:30.000And it's criminal as far as I'm concerned, because there are things that people can do.
00:11:34.000So 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?
00:11:44.000But 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?
00:11:53.000So they discovered that people with lower than 17 nanograms per mil of vitamin D in their blood were 80% of their critical COVID patients.
00:12:01.000Nobody with vitamin D above 21 nanograms per mil was even showing up in their critical ICU.
00:13:49.000You know, the scary thing is there hasn't been a conversation about health.
00:13:52.000There hasn't been a conversation about vitamins, about diets, about exercise, about sleep, about stress, about exercise.
00:13:59.000There 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.
00:14:12.000Not 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.
00:14:21.000And obesity is dramatically going up in the United States.
00:14:25.000Some 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.
00:14:32.000And it's kind of strange that now a government that absolutely... What industry though?
00:14:36.000I mean, we're talking about industries like Monsanto and the fast food industry and the sugar industry.
00:14:40.000When 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.
00:14:53.000But 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.
00:15:08.000The 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?
00:15:19.000He talked about, that's okay, we approve of that, we approve it.
00:15:21.000No, it's like some 20-year-old dude going like, He's talking about medicine.
00:15:40.000But you have a doctorate in pathology.
00:15:42.000Yeah, and I'm eminently qualified to read reports and analyze them.
00:15:45.000But 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.
00:15:53.000Basically, the headline of it is, I can't keep doing this anymore.
00:15:58.000And 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.
00:16:14.000I reviewed a board certified doctor's testimony, but that was deemed medical disinformation.
00:16:19.000I 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.
00:16:30.000Because when, this all started when the Wall Street Journal smeared PewDiePie.
00:16:34.000Then all of a sudden their advertisers just dropped off.
00:16:37.000And YouTube already is burning a hole in the pocket of Google, losing money.
00:16:40.000So they're just like, whatever the media says, we'll do.
00:16:43.000And so you get activists in media who will find any reason to accuse you of wrongdoing.
00:16:49.000And they've even removed... Rand Paul was giving a speech on the Senate floor on C-SPAN.
00:16:55.000YouTube took the video down because, oh no, we can't have that.
00:16:57.000They're more worried about the negative public perception from media companies than allowing people to have this conversation, to hear this testimony.
00:17:05.000Was it Dr. Corey, you said his name was?
00:17:10.000He was testifying to Congress, and that's not allowed anymore, I guess.
00:17:15.000So 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.
00:17:24.000That's what we're kind of getting into here, but you know, hey, whatever, so be it.
00:17:28.000Well, you saw Rand Paul's dad, Ron Paul, got a ding.
00:17:57.000Breitbart was certified as credible by NewsGuard, which is like a Microsoft-funded news credibility rating system.
00:18:07.000But 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.
00:18:18.000They just filmed other people talking at the Capitol with a politician.
00:18:22.000But this is the bigger problem here that we really need to realize.
00:18:25.000The official line that they're going with keeps flip-flopping every week.
00:18:31.000Whether 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
00:18:41.000know about you, but I have a very hard time thinking that a government that never gave a damn about my
00:18:47.000health somehow now is it's their number one priority. I think there's a lot of room to be
00:18:51.000skeptical here. But again, there's no consistency here. We don't know what the official line
00:19:39.000I 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.
00:19:53.000Tim 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.
00:20:00.000So 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.
00:20:09.000And so then everyone just keeps getting more and more scared.
00:20:12.000And that results in the snowball rolling down the hill of the story only going crazier and crazier.
00:20:20.000Right now, what we know is there are many hospitals that are being overrun.
00:20:24.000We 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.
00:20:33.000Most hospitals, it's my understanding, are actually okay.
00:20:36.000There's tons of videos of hospitals that have not been overrun, and that's because hotspots are centralized in certain areas.
00:20:42.000But we're not getting video after video after video of hospitals that are okay.
00:20:45.000We're getting video after video after video of hospitals that are doing worse.
00:20:49.000And then we're getting videos of nurses dancing.
00:20:50.000I guess that's kind of the positive, I suppose.
00:20:56.000The 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.
00:21:13.000Yeah, 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.
00:21:20.000We don't know crap about this at this point in time, right?
00:21:23.000So here what we know, it's a novel coronavirus.
00:22:07.000Yeah, and everything has a side effect, you know, everything, water, take too much, you have a side effects.
00:22:12.000But 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?
00:22:19.000Wouldn'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.
00:22:27.000And 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.
00:22:58.000So I started reporting again, January 23rd.
00:23:02.000Within 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.
00:23:09.000And 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.
00:23:17.000Now, 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.
00:23:24.000Have the papers that you've gotten published in scientific journals been invalidated or removed?
00:23:34.000Well, this happens in many different instances in many different kind of areas.
00:23:38.000For 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.
00:23:46.000They 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.
00:23:55.000I'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.
00:24:07.000But there was an article I read from Fox Business about Seth Rich, and then there was a statement from Kidden.com.
00:24:14.000They 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.
00:24:25.000I'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.
00:25:44.000Even 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.
00:26:12.000I'm like, how is the WHO getting, like, its own handbook for this wrong?
00:26:15.000And 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.
00:26:39.000It 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.
00:26:52.000Come on down to Chinatown, don't be racist.
00:26:54.000So here's where this all leads us to, because we talk a lot about the hypocrisy and stuff.
00:26:59.000It leads to people finally having enough.
00:27:02.000We got the stories from the Daily Mail.
00:27:03.00050 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.
00:27:15.000They say police responded to calls about an unruly crowd at the Erewhon Market in LA's Fairfax District on Tuesday afternoon.
00:27:23.000Dozens of maskless people were filmed shoving their way into the store.
00:27:26.000The protesters berated staffers demanding that they cover their faces.
00:28:57.000You combine that with people who earlier in the year were saying one thing and doing another, and now they've flipped 180.
00:29:03.000And if you repeat the same thing the Surgeon General said earlier this year about masks, or Fauci did, well, they'll nuke you.
00:29:10.000They'll get rid of your account, they'll get rid of your channel.
00:29:13.000If you say it's xenophobic to ban travel, oh, you're gone, but they said all of that.
00:29:17.000When 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.
00:29:26.000People 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.
00:29:34.000You've got Whitmer went to get her hair cut.
00:29:36.000Uh, you know, uh, Lori Lightfoot, you've got Nancy Pelosi, you got Newsome violating COVID lockdowns.
00:29:48.000Can't be in the hospital with them either.
00:29:50.000I'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.
00:30:30.000Well, 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.
00:30:43.000But when somebody's beliefs are challenged, emotions flare up.
00:30:46.000So 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.
00:30:54.000We have this American dream story, right?
00:30:56.000And 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.
00:31:03.000Which is that our leaders don't care at all about us.
00:31:06.000And 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?
00:31:17.000So that, you add it up, that's about 90 billion dollars out of 900.
00:31:39.000Ninety percent of that goes to, like, Israel and Egypt.
00:31:43.000One point three billion is going to Egypt.
00:31:46.000Seven hundred million is going to Sudan.
00:31:48.000Four hundred fifty three million is going to Ukraine.
00:31:50.000And then five hundred million is going to Israel.
00:31:53.000So, to just clarify, $200 billion of the $2.3 trillion Omnibus is going to be dispersed as stimulus payments.
00:32:02.000The 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.
00:32:14.000Then 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?
00:32:48.000Or 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.
00:33:32.000Well, the Treasury conducts an auction, and this is a very simple magician trick, right?
00:33:36.000The Federal Reserve is not directly monetizing debt, because that would be banana republics.
00:33:39.000What 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.
00:33:47.000And, of course, they take a little cut, you know, a little skim, a couple basis points, they take a little vig.
00:33:51.000So that's how it works. But if you follow the action, the Federal Reserve is literally buying
00:33:55.000fresh U.S. paper the same day in many cases. Right. So it's just one step to make it look
00:34:02.000like it's not what it is, which is the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air and our
00:34:05.000government spends it. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme. Well, so what's the long term effect of that?
00:34:10.000The long term effect is money is, let's be clear, money, it's just a, it's a, it's a social agreement.
00:34:17.000It's just a, it's a claim on something.
00:34:18.000There'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.
00:34:28.000So money is just this thing that we all agree has value.
00:34:31.000The long-term effect of just printing, printing, printing is you take from everybody.
00:34:36.000By last time I went to the grocery store, first time I ever had a $500 grocery bill, right?
00:34:41.000And I could easily carry the whole thing, right?
00:34:44.000And they tell me constantly, there's no inflation, but I know there is.
00:34:48.000And my health care, which I have to buy as a small business owner, it goes up reliably 10-20% every year.
00:34:54.000Let me tell everybody a trick you can do right now.
00:34:56.000Go on Amazon.com, select some electronics, put them into your cart, and then don't buy them.
00:35:53.000And then the Federal Reserve takes real cash and wires it into their accounts and takes those assets, those debt instruments, off their hands.
00:36:00.000So the Federal Reserve is holding a bunch of U.S.
00:36:09.000So 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.
00:36:16.000And it's a direct consequence of all this printing, and it's this.
00:36:19.000The Federal Reserve, my statement about them is they're what I call a reverse Robin Hood organization.
00:36:25.000The 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.
00:36:36.000You 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?
00:36:43.000Because of that, what happens is, you find that as a little person, your bank account, it doesn't buy as much anymore.
00:37:35.000Your children are going to be paying for it.
00:37:37.000And 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.
00:37:50.000Even just recently, as you mentioned, in the supermarket, I'm even seeing it and it's scary stuff.
00:37:56.000I remember when I was a kid and a candy bar cost $0.40.
00:38:18.000The 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.
00:38:29.000Of course, everybody's value is stripped, even the business owners.
00:38:33.000Another 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.
00:38:57.000I 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.
00:39:04.000So then you get people who work at Walmart because Walmart gets special kickbacks from government.
00:39:09.000Walmart then pays their employees trash.
00:39:11.000Their employees then have to get government benefits and around and around we go.
00:39:14.000But the government's not even printing it.
00:41:49.000Like, 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.
00:42:30.000Imagine 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.
00:42:38.000Now imagine one day I show up and I start drawing on a piece of paper dollars.
00:42:43.000I'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.
00:43:50.000That was the total work in that story.
00:43:53.000But me, I'm doing 30 more years in a garage, as a bus driver, as a whatever, whatever, right?
00:43:58.000So that's why it's never taught in school.
00:44:02.000Because once you learn that, you go, that doesn't feel right.
00:44:04.000It's one big Ponzi scheme with these individuals providing absolutely no value at all.
00:44:12.000Banking, 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.
00:44:52.000I 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.
00:44:57.000I mean, if I'm actually giving you and taking that risk?
00:45:00.000Giving a flat interest rate is different than a compounding interest rate.
00:45:04.000Saying I want that back plus 10% is different than saying plus 1% every month until you pay me back.
00:45:09.000Well, look, I think if someone enters into a contract, it's their choice.
00:45:13.000If 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.
00:45:37.000And 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?
00:48:21.000People 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.
00:48:56.000You 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.
00:49:04.000They're going to punch you in the face and take your sandwich from you.
00:49:06.000Of course, that's why I bought ammo, heirloom seeds, a lot of medicine that we can't even mention on this show right now.
00:49:13.000Being prepared and having personal responsibility is the absolute key.
00:49:16.000And 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.
00:49:27.000It's there, and it's becoming way more and more evident.
00:49:30.000And when the people who are writing are going to find out about the exact details, I don't know.
00:49:35.000Oh boy, I don't know what's going to happen.
00:49:37.000Do you guys see this video out of New York where the kids are smashing the SUV?
00:49:47.000New York is... Look, I'm gonna call it a wasteland because I'm being hyperbolic, but let me tell you something.
00:49:54.000What 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.
00:50:03.000Think 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.
00:50:47.000What's going to happen when the value of the dollar goes even lower?
00:50:51.000When 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?
00:51:01.000If 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.
00:51:10.000What do you think happens if the police can't handle what's going on right now, you know, ruffian teenagers smashing a car?
00:51:17.000How 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?
00:51:27.000The cops are gonna go, I can't do anything about it, sorry.
00:51:29.000If they can't handle this now, you do not want to be in a city like that.
00:51:32.000I can't believe there are people who are staying there, too.
00:51:35.000They 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.
00:51:46.000So 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.
00:51:56.000So 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.
00:52:05.000What, have they nearly doubled the money supply?
00:52:11.000And, 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?
00:52:41.000Read about all these countries where the hyperinflation happened and the mass printing of money resulted in people shoveling bills into the dumpster.
00:54:11.000It'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.
00:55:45.000Redefined 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.
00:56:13.000John Kerry reveals Biden's devotion to radical Great Reset movement.
00:56:17.000Now, 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.
00:56:43.000He'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.
00:56:53.000He said, he said, isn't a crisis like COVID the perfect time to do reforms to make the world a better place?
00:57:00.000So I think the issue is, Put a pin in that.
00:57:06.000Now I'll mention I had Alex Jones on the show, and I asked him, what if they're right?
00:57:10.000That, you know, humanity is hurtling towards non-existence, extinction, because we're destroying this planet, stripping resources, and just burning ourselves alive.
00:57:23.000It may be, but, you know, it's a very serious challenge.
00:57:27.000And 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.
00:57:37.000And here's where the real problem comes in.
00:57:39.000If 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.
00:58:01.000So 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.
00:58:54.000So this would have been like going to the nation back in 1940 and saying, we have to defeat Nazis, right?
00:59:00.000And 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.
00:59:07.000You ever seen those people do those mudders, right?
00:59:42.000I've put not enough time into it to really understand what's going on, but I get the basic theory of it.
00:59:47.000I 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.
00:59:55.000If 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.
01:00:07.000I think a lot of people would just say, no, you can't tell me what to do.
01:00:09.000But it's not necessarily around the climate change. This resource story is more direct, more linear.
01:00:12.000So ocean acidification is something I believe in completely because it's very simple. You take the
01:00:16.000partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the higher it is, the more there is,
01:00:20.000the more goes in the water, the more acidic it becomes, period. And I know I've talked to oyster
01:00:24.000farmers who can't grow oysters in both Maine and in this Puget Sound because the ocean's too acidic.
01:00:31.000But the jellyfish comes in, and people are eating the jellyfish now.
01:00:37.000Have you looked into iron fertilization?
01:00:40.000Yeah, 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.
01:00:48.000And in complexity theory, there's a couple things.
01:00:50.000Like, 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.
01:01:19.000I don't know about that side of things, but ocean acidification is dead simple.
01:01:23.000Tell me how much how much CO2 is in the atmosphere and I'll tell you what's going to happen.
01:01:26.000And 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.
01:01:35.000Yeah, from all the nutrient runoff, yeah.
01:01:37.000Yeah, so, and there's also the other problem, you mentioned fresh water.
01:01:42.000I did a short segment on a desalination plant in, I believe it was Carlsbad, California.
01:01:50.000And 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.
01:01:54.000What 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.
01:02:09.000They 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.
01:02:23.000So that desalination is not a solution to this.
01:02:26.000So ultimately what I'm getting to is, it seems like we can't just keep doing what we're doing, can we?
01:02:36.000But 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.
01:02:51.000And usually they are connected to individuals who are doing the burning.
01:02:54.000So 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
01:03:29.000less meat. Meanwhile, they're not even talking about the multinational corporations that are
01:03:32.000mostly responsible for the the quote-quote carbon emissions that are going on there and they're
01:03:37.000shifting the blame on the individuals when they're the ones creating the problem that they magically
01:03:41.000have a solution to that we have to go along with. That's crazy. I think a really good question that
01:03:46.000needs to be answered is when you look at Greta Thunberg, she complains about the U.S. and
01:03:52.000and Europe, and she ignores China and India.
01:04:13.000is actually working hard to reduce carbon emissions, find other ways to produce energy.
01:04:17.000Not 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.
01:04:32.000But this is the thing we also have to understand.
01:04:34.000A 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.
01:06:14.000So 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?
01:06:20.000Well, that's what the New York Times even wrote.
01:06:22.000They said if you talk about the Great Reset, you're a conspiracy theorist.
01:06:43.000Then 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.
01:06:56.000Like, we are all working together for a better world, and these far-right white nationalists are a harumph, I say.
01:07:03.000That's the trajectory things go through.
01:07:04.000You 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?
01:07:25.000What I think I see happening right now is, for a long time in the United States, upward mobility was a thing.
01:07:33.000The American dream existed for people, even people who were not from here, could emigrate, become American, find their American dream.
01:07:41.000You 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.
01:07:50.000Well, so what's happening now is the American dream was upward mobility.
01:07:54.000You know, in some countries there's none because it's class-based or caste-based.
01:07:58.000Well, 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.
01:08:07.00099 of them are getting the axe right now.
01:08:26.000That's a great point that you're making there.
01:08:28.000And when you look at upward mobility, it's virtually almost Coming to a point where it's impossible in the United States.
01:08:34.000You look at low-skill labor, that's being replaced with immigration.
01:08:38.000You 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.
01:08:47.000So 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.
01:08:54.000There's going to be less and less of them.
01:08:56.000We were already facing a large economic turmoil, especially in the retail market before the coronavirus.
01:09:03.000Now, there's going to be a huge reckoning and a huge restructuring.
01:09:10.000And they're enforcing it with brute force.
01:09:13.000If 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.
01:09:33.000So there's one funny thing that's going on right now is there's a call to boycott Walmart.
01:09:38.000And it's because Josh Hawley, Republican senator, announced he's going to be objecting to the electoral vote count supporting Donald Trump.
01:09:45.000The Walmart official Twitter account tweeted— I wonder if the Newsweek article has the tweet.
01:09:53.000The actual Twitter account for verified Walmart.
01:09:56.000Go ahead, get your two-hour debate, sore loser.
01:10:00.000Walmart had to issue a public apology.
01:10:03.000It was a team member who forgot to switch accounts, and conservatives are like, no, we're going to boycott Walmart.
01:10:10.000Well, progressives, seeing the opportunity, were like, yeah, conservatives, woo, you're right, let's boycott Walmart.
01:10:17.000And 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.
01:10:22.000And then I'm sitting there like, I don't care what your reason is for boycotting Walmart.
01:10:43.000I 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.
01:11:02.000And 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.
01:11:22.000So yeah, maybe Walmart should pay better.
01:11:24.000Yeah, this is the Ponzi scheme that's going on right now.
01:11:27.000Many 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.
01:11:33.000It's another subsidy that they're receiving, which is an unfair advantage than anyone else in the business field.
01:11:40.000This is not a free market capitalistic society.
01:12:24.000We should be shopping at the boutique stores, but they've all been shut down.
01:12:28.000So 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.
01:12:43.000Talk about a lucrative merger between corporation and state.
01:12:51.000I thought all the left was supposed to be fighting all that, but here they are really cheering it on.
01:12:55.000The left's definition of fascism is ultra-nationalism and traditionalism.
01:13:00.000And 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.
01:13:09.000Look, when we say fascism, we usually just mean totalitarian dictatorship, you know, single party rule.
01:13:37.000Whenever we need something, it's like, I can just go to Amazon, boom, it's there, and it's prime, it's delivered.
01:13:42.000We gotta go back to supporting people.
01:13:45.000You know, the problem we have right now, money is being siphoned away, a transfer of wealth.
01:13:50.000It's not just happening because of COVID and the lockdowns.
01:13:53.000Everything 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.
01:14:05.000I'm not cool with that. Or individuals like Jeff Bezos. I was about to say, can we please do
01:14:08.000wall amazon too? Because they had 1.5 billion items that were delivered just during this
01:14:16.000holiday season. They had a 50% increase since last year's holiday season in the amount of
01:14:23.000And this is a company working on the latest and greatest police state technology, quantum computing to break encryption, artificial intelligence.
01:14:34.000If there ever was a legitimate threat against your civil liberties, against your freedoms, against your economic future, it's, it's, it's Amazon.
01:14:43.000Let's just... I got all these things on Amazon.
01:14:45.000The Gorilla 2 and the crystal ball and the plasma ball.
01:14:52.000It reminds me of Idiocracy, where Costco is this massive multi-square mile building where people get lost inside.
01:14:59.000Dude, 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.
01:15:10.000It's going to be the way we're supposed to live.
01:15:12.000I just don't like one guy owning that.
01:15:16.000I don't want to seize the production, but maybe there's a better way to decentralize the ability.
01:15:22.000This is why I'm all about mixed economy.
01:15:24.000I don't like the idea of... Here's what I don't like.
01:15:27.000I don't like when the regular working class person loses their rights to figure out what they need and trade as they want.
01:15:34.000And that's what you get with full-on socialism or communism.
01:15:36.000When the regular working class person loses choice.
01:15:39.000I'll tell you what I really, really don't like.
01:15:41.000I don't like Jeff Bezos extracting value and destroying mom-and-pop shops.
01:15:45.000I don't like big box stores setting up next to a boutique, shutting them down.
01:15:50.000I 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.
01:16:53.000Yeah, they're in huge, huge decline everywhere.
01:16:55.000They 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.
01:17:13.000So 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.
01:17:57.000But we're taking out the bottom of the food chain.
01:17:59.000So 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.
01:18:07.000Like, 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.
01:18:15.000Wait, wouldn't the Great Reset help solve that problem?
01:18:18.000No, it would exacerbate it tenfold because it's the same people, the heads of Monsanto, the heads of all these regulatory groups.
01:18:26.000Today, Joe Biden just picked A gentleman that's deemed Mr. Monsanto as the top head of the USDA today.
01:18:34.000Well, there's change you can believe in.
01:18:37.000And 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?
01:18:46.000I 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.
01:19:30.000I 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.
01:19:46.000If they get free food from somewhere else, they got no reason to do it.
01:19:49.000Now 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.
01:20:02.000You're making me think about humans, man.
01:20:06.000And 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?
01:21:33.000So 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.
01:21:45.000Won't that help solve a lot of this problem?
01:21:48.000Won't that help insects come back and ocean life come back?
01:22:29.000I think because we evolved on this planet through billions of years, that we can feel that on some level.
01:22:34.000And I think that explains why people are so anxious right now, because we're We're kind of destroying the place we live on.
01:22:39.000But I don't think, I don't think we need to be put in check.
01:22:42.000I 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.
01:22:52.000So that's why I don't trust their solution.
01:22:53.000You were just mentioning what, like 73% of Americans are fat?
01:22:57.000Either obese or overweight, according to a new report that just came out.
01:23:02.000Yes, we could all be better, of course.
01:23:20.000When 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.
01:23:29.000And it's not a free market competition.
01:23:31.000No one said, hey, I really want to support GMO seeds now.
01:23:36.000I really want, you know, Frankenstein to go into the laboratory and build some Gene splicing between pigs and tomatoes.
01:24:07.000Well, you know, there's things that, of course, people never voted for, and there's many ways you could vote.
01:24:13.000You could vote with your dollar, you could vote with your attention.
01:24:15.000By watching this podcast, you are voting with your attention, and it's a huge way to incentivize what you want.
01:24:23.000And 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.
01:24:31.000We are the change that we want to see in this world.
01:24:33.000And if we're not doing good, we're not prepared, we're not responsible for ourselves, no one else will be.
01:25:01.000Remember after an inconvenient truth comes out, right?
01:25:04.000And 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.
01:25:10.000You're going, what the, how does this connect?
01:25:13.000But so I actually go to the website, I'm like, okay, what is he up to, Mr. Gore?
01:25:17.000And then you find out he has six homes with a collective 60,000 square feet of, you know, not him.
01:26:00.000I 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.
01:26:13.000But one thing that you were advocating for was for individuals to learn how to farm, how to be sustainable to themselves.
01:26:20.000There'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.
01:26:38.000They figured out last year how to print graphene from carbon dioxide by depositing it onto copper and palladium with hydrogen turned into oxygen.
01:26:46.000So it's going to come to a point where we're harvesting too much carbon dioxide and we're competing with the trees.
01:26:51.000And 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.
01:26:58.000I just bought these graphene composite batteries.
01:27:02.000They have two and a half full cell phone charges, like external batteries.
01:27:13.000We 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.
01:27:39.000Are 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?
01:28:51.000And I think James Lindsay, who's one of the foremost experts on wokeness, wrote about it.
01:28:56.000They were proposing a fake study where everyone is trans.
01:29:00.000But this is what we're actually seeing.
01:29:02.000Trans activists saying every child should be put on puberty blockers.
01:29:05.000We're seeing trans activists say that everyone is trans and things like that.
01:29:09.000And, uh, I mean, you know, if you are, you know, do your thing, that's cool.
01:29:12.000I'm just wondering how the intersectionality, wokeness, non-binary stuff, that's incorporated into all this.
01:29:19.000How 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?
01:29:34.000And it's like trickling down and you can barely shower and you're like, well, I'm doing what I can for the planet.
01:29:37.000But 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.
01:29:45.000It's like a thousand square feet of just raining on them.
01:29:47.000And they're like, like, you know, apoptosis, that function of nature that where cells will just kill themselves if they're no longer needed.
01:30:19.000So 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.
01:30:55.000It should shrink just like their people are shrinking.
01:30:57.000The economy should be in service of the people, but they have it all backwards.
01:31:00.000So in this story, you're mentioning all these things like intersectionality and things like that.
01:31:05.000They don't even relate to the predicaments we've been just talking about.
01:31:08.000To 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?
01:31:24.000I mean, people are being forced out of cities because of all the chaos.
01:31:28.000One 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.
01:31:34.000You 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.
01:31:38.000You move out of the big city, go to the middle of nowhere, build your own little shack and then farm.
01:31:41.000Now, what you mentioned with Japan is that also actually happening in China.
01:31:45.000Because of their one-child policy, they have an inequity between men and women.
01:31:49.000And 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.
01:31:58.000Europe, on the other hand, their populations are declining very rapidly.
01:32:02.000And 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.
01:32:16.000That's literally what they were arguing.
01:32:18.000And 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.
01:32:26.000I think those are also things that are very eye-opening.
01:32:29.000No, I'm in this totally wackadoodle camp of people who believe that you can't grow forever on a finite planet.
01:32:35.000So 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.
01:32:51.000And are we going to do it in a controlled way or in an uncontrolled way?
01:32:53.000I 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.
01:33:01.000That's, that's kind of, I don't want to, I would rather not do that myself.
01:33:05.000But the question is, what do you do about that?
01:33:07.000And the first thing you have to do is people need to be told the truth about this.
01:33:11.000And the simple truth is you can't grow forever on a finite planet.
01:33:39.000So you can have virtual economic growth.
01:33:42.000If people start getting really heavy into virtual reality and virtual spaces, you can own things that don't exist in the real world.
01:33:48.000You 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.
01:33:55.000The virtual world, I think, will allow for us to have economic growth that doesn't have a negative impact.
01:33:59.000Your computer can be mining crypto in the background.
01:34:02.000Like right now, you can set your computer to be mining Monero.
01:34:04.000So you could do that with your body, too.
01:34:06.000But that's, but that's, that's still physical world stuff.
01:34:08.000I mean, like, what if, if I want to buy something from you, you produce it.
01:34:12.000Now we've extracted a resource from the planet.
01:34:14.000What if we're in a virtual world and you gain the sword of a thousand suns or whatever?
01:34:19.000And I'm like, Ooh, I really want that.
01:34:21.000So I buy it with currency and no impact on the real world.
01:34:24.000Where would your body, would your body be like in stasis?
01:34:26.000No, you'd be in your house and you'd sit down and turn on PlayStation VR.
01:34:30.000Then you gotta eat, you gotta sleep, you gotta drink water.
01:36:20.000Because 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.
01:36:30.000So you have jobs that Just didn't really produce much of anything.
01:36:33.000It 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.
01:36:40.000Kind of like what they're doing now, right?
01:36:43.000The point is, we can have it so that people are excited about the things they own, not in the real world.
01:36:49.000Things that don't have any physical weight to them, that don't have an impact.
01:36:52.000And how many people do you think would be satisfied with that world?
01:37:22.000But 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.
01:37:32.000That could be a possible dystopian future.
01:37:37.000But also why big companies like Facebook and Google have been investing an exorbitant amount of money specifically in the VR space.
01:37:47.000You 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.
01:37:55.000We already have individuals that are glued to their video games to a point where they are literally wearing diapers.
01:38:06.000If 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.
01:38:20.000But 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.
01:38:29.000But when you look at the space and how it's controlled right now, I think it's more headed towards a dystopian one.
01:38:35.000Yeah, 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.
01:39:00.000What 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?
01:39:58.000You 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.
01:40:07.000Um, and I'm sure every generation says this kids these days, right?
01:40:09.000But no, there's something really missing from the screen generation and it's problem solving, spatial abilities, all this.
01:40:15.000So 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.
01:40:25.000Where 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.
01:40:40.000So 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.
01:40:46.000And I'm like, you should come with me sometime.
01:41:27.000People need to work out more and be incentivized to work out more and take care of themselves.
01:41:31.000Because 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.
01:41:43.000It'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.
01:41:51.000Every time you weed a garden, you get credits.
01:42:58.000If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the show, and share it if you really do like it.
01:43:03.000Sharing is the most important thing you can do.
01:43:05.000It's the only real way we're gonna grow, is if people like it, and they recommend it to their friends.
01:43:09.000And 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.
01:43:16.000But now we're gonna read what you guys have to say, and we'll start.
01:43:21.000Friendly 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.
01:43:57.000We're gonna figure out what we're doing.
01:43:58.000Luke, Luke wants to do like a crazy...
01:44:01.000I 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.
01:44:11.000In a place where you can use a flamethrower, you're not going to get cell signal.
01:45:39.000And you're like, whoa, we got to turn the volume down and you just got to change the volume and stuff.
01:45:42.000So then, then it gets out of sync and we're constantly trying to fix it.
01:45:45.000And sometimes people will talk really quiet, but then later in the show start ramping up and then getting louder and louder and louder.
01:45:50.000And 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.
01:45:57.000It's like, all right, that's where the yelling is.
01:46:34.000I'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.
01:46:49.000Well, they need more sun because they make less vitamin D per unit of skin per sunlight.
01:46:54.000And blacks have been affected by COVID a lot more than other demographics out there, which is also important to point out.
01:47:00.000JMaxx 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.
01:47:08.000My wife had it and suffered mild symptoms.
01:47:12.000And 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.
01:47:21.000I 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.
01:47:38.000Dakota Johnson says, respect and appreciate everyone's perspective.
01:47:41.000Quote, 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.
01:51:21.000Ethan Johansen says, Solution to climate change is having us farmers plant more plants, and letting plants change the soil instead of plowing it.
01:51:31.000I like putting a roof over my cows' heads, too, though.
01:51:34.000You 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.
01:55:11.000Cause 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.
01:55:20.000What do you think Trump supporters are going to be doing?
01:55:22.000You're like, I'm seeing people posting.
01:55:23.000They're going to fly across the country, then to drive across the country.
01:55:26.000We'll see how it plays out, I suppose.
01:55:29.000Emperor Geiseric says, Tim Foyle hat time.
01:55:32.000Trump 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.
01:55:38.000These religious true believers will do anything to, quote, save the world.
01:56:09.000There'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.
01:59:30.000Ayn 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.
01:59:45.000Yeah, I think the idea, like, some people believe... Well, I'll put it this way.
01:59:50.000I don't trust a centralized group of, you know, Davos group type people to know how to solve the problems of the world.
01:59:56.000I think a decentralized system would probably solve it much quicker and more efficiently, and that tends to be the case.
02:00:02.000It'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.
02:00:11.000Now, 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.
02:00:19.000Now, 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.
02:00:25.000The problem is, who do you trust to put the boot down and force people to take action?
02:00:30.000I don't trust these people because Gavin Newsom gets a bunch of money and then goes and parties.
02:01:53.000He says, but first I'm going to take a hit.
02:01:55.000smokes 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?
02:02:24.000I think you can make some more moolah.
02:02:26.000Love you, buddy, and I'll be looking for you Wednesday.
02:02:44.000But 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.
02:02:50.000All 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.
02:02:55.000And 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.
02:03:11.000I think that's the best path to creating something sustainable.
02:03:14.000It 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.
02:03:23.000There hasn't really been anything I think that...
02:03:26.000There 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?
02:03:34.000If it gets taken down, then we're not saying anything to anybody.
02:03:37.000That'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.
02:03:44.000I 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.
02:03:58.000I 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.
02:04:47.000And 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
02:05:22.000But 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.
02:06:05.000Accept it as a fact, and then get on with it.
02:06:08.000The longer you stay up there scared and don't do anything, you're never gonna do it.
02:06:12.000The 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.
02:06:18.000You 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.
02:06:25.000Sometimes you're driving down the road, trying to be all safe, boom, hit by a car.
02:06:28.000Sometimes 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.
02:06:33.000That Tom Segura, you know Tom Segura, one of Rogan's best friends, he was playing basketball, man, and fell down and shattered his arm.
02:07:38.000Like, 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.
02:07:44.000I don't want to elbow someone and I don't want to get elbowed.
02:07:49.000Because falling is a part of skateboarding.
02:07:52.000You just keep doing it, you get better at it, you get really consistent.
02:07:55.000But, 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.
02:08:56.000And 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.
02:09:04.000Now 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.
02:09:54.000It'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!
02:10:06.000If a firefighter thinks they're going to die, they won't go in the building.
02:10:51.000Bloodstains all over the bottom of it.
02:10:53.000And so I actually rode in that after that happened and the bloodstains are on the ground.
02:10:57.000And 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.
02:11:05.000Well, 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.
02:11:16.000So here I am in this truck, there's blood stained at my feet and it was a discount vehicle.
