As the protests continue to erupt in communist-controlled Cuba, the authorities have finally had enough and are cracking down on what is described as a peaceful protest. Jack Posobiec and Joe Biden are here to talk all about it.
00:00:29.000There's a bunch of other very disturbing witness accounts, and there's a bit of hearsay.
00:00:34.000In one story, a man claims that his friend was calling him, saying the police are rounding people up, they're secretly arresting people, they're beating people in the streets.
00:00:44.000The Cubans shut down the internet so people couldn't spread the word.
00:00:47.000They arrested a journalist live on air while this journalist was giving an interview to a Spanish news anchor.
00:00:54.000If the people of Cuba really believed in their revolution, certainly the social media they would put out would be dramatically in favor of what was going on with the Cuban government.
00:01:04.000So why would they need to silence the people of Cuba unless it turns out the information coming out was desperate pleas for help as the police brutally cracked down on anybody who opposes their authoritarian regime?
00:02:57.000Or perhaps they actually meant to fill out the bubble in between the bubbles.
00:03:00.000Yeah, so we've had a very highly scrutinized election in the past, Joe.
00:03:04.000I just want to add something, you know, because a lot of people were like, for the past several years, when I would mention Civil War, they'd be like, Tim, you're so dumb.
00:03:11.000Joe Biden is now repeatedly referring to the right as akin to Confederates, saying over and over again, we face the biggest challenge to our democracy since the Civil War.
00:03:24.000This is something that I've picked up.
00:03:26.000This is a rhetorical device that is not being used by accident by not just Joe Biden, but really his entire White House and the entire administration there.
00:03:35.000There is a reason that they keep referring to civil war.
00:03:38.000There is a reason they keep referring to their political opponents as the Confederates, who are essentially traitors, right?
00:03:45.000Traitors to the Republic, traitors to the Union in the time.
00:03:49.000There is a very direct goal that they are seeking, not only in the immediate term, right, in terms of the basic political win, but also they are in search of a crackdown.
00:04:02.000They are in search of, they have a solution, and they are just waiting for the problem to manifest itself.
00:04:10.000They know they're hanging on to power by a thread, so they need an excuse for physical force, intelligence agencies, everyone to just shut it down and seize full control.
00:04:51.000They actually wanted, and I believe it was Pelosi who was saying that, was saying, do we need crew served guns up there just in case, in case of what?
00:04:59.000There was never any intelligence and they would have them up there and a few Republicans every once in a while when Chris Wray would come up and they would say, Do you have any intel? Can you tell us what the threats are?
00:05:10.000Now interestingly enough, on April 2nd, there actually was a terrorist attack at the U.S. Capitol.
00:05:16.000However, it was conducted by a guy who was not a follower of QAnon or MAGA.
00:05:22.000No, it was a guy who was actually a follower of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.
00:05:26.000And by the way, he actually murdered a Capitol Police officer, the only Capitol Police officer to be murdered in the line of duty since the 1990s.
00:05:56.000Alright, well, before we get started, everybody, go to TimCast.com, become a member.
00:06:00.000We're going to have a members-only segment coming up after the show.
00:06:03.000Usually it goes around 11 or so, but if it goes late, it goes late, you know, because we want to make sure we're getting you the best of the best of that content.
00:06:08.000But good news, it looks like our soft date right now is for a Monday launch of the new site, which you've probably seen.
00:06:15.000We've actually got some of the alpha articles already.
00:06:18.000You're going to see them tonight if you're watching on YouTube, and they look absolutely incredible.
00:06:45.000Share this video, share this show, share it with word of mouth through links, whatever you gotta do, and do it for all of the other shows you really like as well, all the other creators.
00:06:53.000That's how we overcome the censorship.
00:06:56.000Unless or until they ban us, so, sure, whatever.
00:06:58.000But let's, uh, let's jump into this first story, talking about communist Cuba.
00:07:04.000Daily Mail reports, quote, the communists have lost control.
00:07:08.000First Cuban demonstrator is killed after police, quote, open fire on peaceful protest, while anti-government reporter is arrested live on TV as unrest continues.
00:07:19.000Deubis Lorencio Tejeda, 36, died Monday in a suburb of Havana during a clash between protesters and police.
00:07:26.000Witnesses claimed security forces had responded to demonstrators with gunfire after they threw rocks.
00:07:31.000Social media activist Dina Stars was arrested live on TV by Cuban security forces on Tuesday.
00:07:37.000Cuban government launched crackdown on protests after large-scale demonstrations erupted on Sunday.
00:08:15.000And so I've always kind of wanted to actually visit the rest of the island, but I got really into just how Cuba works when I was there studying it because, needless to say, let's just say that, you know, while I was there for the detainee operations, we also had people who were there from an intel side that were not paying attention to them, they were paying attention to the broader, you know, Cuba, the landscape there, the military, the politics.
00:08:37.000And of course, we actually had some communication with them, we would say across the fence, just in terms of, hey, if there's, you know, because it's very arid there on that part of Cuba because of the mountains.
00:08:46.000So, you know, wildfires is a big issue, just like in California.
00:08:49.000So that's something obviously would affect both sides, which makes sense to kind of have a monthly meeting where we sit down and talk.
00:09:39.000You said a status of force agreement, Jack.
00:09:41.000Is that something that the government will officially do with another government when they are going to have military that is going to be out and about in the country?
00:10:05.000We have some people there on a few bases.
00:10:08.000And so you would have an essential agreement where, okay, we are not immigrating, we don't need visas, right?
00:10:13.000We don't need any specific documentation other than the orders, right?
00:10:18.000And that's all covered under that status of forces agreement.
00:10:21.000So, you know, of course, and you know, the sort of cynical view of that is like, this is US imperialism, right?
00:10:27.000Why does the US need these all of these bases around the world?
00:10:30.000Why are they providing this blanket of international security?
00:10:34.000This is the way that Russia would describe it this way that China certainly describes it, especially when it comes to East Asia and that sphere.
00:10:40.000But this is that's the basic idea that status of force agreement.
00:10:42.000And you'll also see this in terms of like, you know, if you're going over somewhere for a, you know, an exercise, like we do exercises with, with tons of militaries.
00:10:51.000And so the idea or tons of countries around the world, Thailand, Australia, etc.
00:10:56.000And so the idea is that you wouldn't necessarily need a visa to go because you're going on on orders going on mission.
00:11:47.000What you're seeing now is, by the way, this is a reformation of the global order, right?
00:11:52.000This is a reformation because, for a variety of reasons, America, which, you know, as I delineated before, which had maintained that system, and you can see the military power, but also the economic power and the cultural power of the United States, all of those have become diminished over the past decade and really over the past couple years.
00:12:12.000Now, in the Trump years, you know, there was this sort of like sudden resurgence.
00:12:19.000But then that, you know, that that was basically usurped by by Biden.
00:12:23.000And so that that path seems to be closed.
00:12:25.000And now people are realizing they are going back into what the status quo priority was prior to Trump, which and the phrase I'm going to say, and you'll all remember it.
00:12:40.000We were told, they used all these technocratic phrases to sort of explain, well, this is just the way, you know, things are going and countries, you know, they, they rise and they fall.
00:12:51.000And, you know, I believe in American exceptionalism the same way Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism, etc, etc.
00:12:57.000That was the quote, famous quote from Barack Obama.
00:12:59.000So this is the idea, and I want people to understand that this is being done by policy.
00:13:04.000This is being done by decisions, right?
00:13:07.000Human decisions, human agency that's made on behalf of the people in power that have made this decision.
00:13:12.000They've made the decision to outsource, right, U.S.
00:13:15.000jobs, which is outsourcing our manufacturing base, which is outsourcing our wealth, all of the secondary and tertiary industries and businesses and communities that would have thrived off of that.
00:13:23.000I was actually just up in In Maine, we went up for the 4th of July and, you know, it's great because you can go on the coast and there's all these sort of like old money cities and old money like beach towns and you go 30 minutes away and it's all this post-industrial just bleak societies where, you know, former factory towns with the factories gone and the workers, the families of the workers are all still there wondering, hey, what do we do now, right?
00:13:49.000We're still here and, you know, we'd like to stay in our towns but we're just stuck.
00:13:54.000It's all done through... That's the interesting thing about policy.
00:13:58.000You can be an industrialist, you can run a factory, and through no fault of your own, the government decides they're going to put pressure on your business that forces it to leave the country.
00:14:08.000So of course it still comes down to the conscious decisions of a lot of these people who run these companies, but when they say something like, we're going to increase the minimum wage, we're going to increase the corporate tax, then we're going to do a free trade agreement for factories outside, it's impossible to compete!
00:14:23.000Let's say you make, uh, Ian, you gave me this little, what is this, obsidian?
00:14:48.000So they announced they're going to be raising the minimum wage, raising the corporate taxes, and at the same time, free trade agreements with manufacturing from China.
00:14:54.000That's too much for my company to handle.
00:15:05.000And I should pay my fair share in taxes.
00:15:07.000Alright, so you go over the numbers and you say to pay everyone $15 an hour and to pay a 20% tax, we're gonna have to charge $5 for every beautiful obsidian stone.
00:15:18.000Then all of a sudden you go to Walmart and there's China stone for $3.
00:15:23.000And you say, there's literally no way we can make the obsidian stones for $3.
00:15:28.000Well, China has slaves and they can import these products for free with no charge.
00:15:33.000So your company goes out of business because it's impossible to compete with the free, the slave labor China uses.
00:15:38.000And understand, right, this was the idea.
00:15:42.000This was actually the plan all the way back before when, and funny enough, right, prior to Occupy Wall Street, what was the big, you know, I talk about Antifa a lot, I wrote the whole book about Antifa.
00:15:52.000What was the big sort of Antifa moment, right?
00:16:56.000Now it's Gen Z. People who are 10 years old during Occupy, who have no idea what it was about, are now in their 20s, entering their 20s, and they're voting for people, and they know nothing about the Obama administration.
00:17:08.000That's why I talk about the Federal Reserve like a chicken with my head cut off on this show, because we got to teach these people about what is at least part of the root cause Of social disorder right now.
00:17:17.000And it's, I think it's the privatization of our monetary supply.
00:17:21.000Bro, look, Jack talks about the plan, the WTO in 99.
00:18:42.000We can, and when you hear the Fed say, Oh, we're going to, we're adding to our balance sheet.
00:18:45.000We're adding to the Fed balance sheet, right?
00:18:47.000Well, that means you are taking on debt, which means when you're taking on the debt, you're issuing what?
00:18:52.000You're issuing loans to banks at the highest level, right?
00:18:55.000The reason that they are doing this is because they want all of you, they want millennials, they want Gen Z to become a renter class, right?
00:19:17.000And that someone, as we're finding out now, is going to be Wall Street, that's going to be BlackRock, it's going to be Blackstone, it's going to be these massive companies that are coming in now and purchasing what?
00:19:56.000Two things happened when they went to college.
00:19:58.000They took on massive debt they can't pay back, and they can't declare bankruptcy on, and they got indoctrinated with psychotic, you know, cult BS.
00:20:35.000And if you do somehow manage to be able to get married, to have a couple of kids, how are you even going to be able to generate enough wealth to pass something on to them?
00:20:44.000So you create into something the left, I used to talk about all the time, generational wealth, right?
00:20:48.000Dude, you're not going to be able to do that with the negative interest rates the way they are now.
00:20:53.000This is all done by design and the manufacturing.
00:21:11.000And this is gets back to my earlier point before when when we talked about the Battle of Seattle when when people were talking about putting and this was this was Clinton, right?
00:21:19.000This was Clinton putting China into the WTO and then later Bush 41 Bush 43 Bush 41 talked about this, of course, the response to Tiananmen Square, he said, we just need to bring China into the global order.
00:21:30.000That was what was said again and again and again.
00:21:33.000People were saying Tiananmen Square, they're crushing students the same way that people are being crushed, the protesters in Cuba right now.
00:22:08.000And then you hear what he talks about, the FBI saying, snitch on your neighbors.
00:22:13.000You were hearing that Joe Biden wouldn't have to.
00:22:16.000So there's there's that refrain, too, that I believe people will say that, you know, if the situation were hopeless, the propaganda would be unnecessary.
00:22:24.000Joe Biden's not going to Philadelphia, not going to, you know, where I'm where I'm from and giving a massive speech standing across the Constitution Center is down across Independence Mall from the actual site of the signing of a declaration in the Constitution.
00:22:37.000He's not going to give a speech like that from a position of strength.
00:22:40.000That was done from a position of weakness.
00:22:43.000That's because the contradictions are accelerating too fast right now.
00:22:48.000The Hegelian dialectic, which the left used to move forward, they used to progress with, is happening too fast and not enough people are able to keep up with it.
00:22:58.000That's why they realize that their critical mass is falling apart.
00:23:01.000You mentioned on Twitter that, I don't know how much you've confirmed this or not, but that there was a plan to put together a list of extremists that the insurrectionists followed on social media.
00:23:14.000Can you tell us what is that all about?
00:23:16.000So the reporting that I've got on that so far comes from a high-level White House official who's sending me this stuff and is saying that it's actually being driven by three people right now.
00:23:26.000Chris Wray, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.
00:23:29.000And Ron Klain in the White House is going along with it.
00:23:33.000And for the time being, Joe Biden is going along with it.
00:23:36.000I haven't actually been able to confirm whether or not Kamala is for or against this.
00:23:39.000But what it is, is they're going through the Jan 6 defendants, and they're trying to cross-reference everybody from that in terms of their social media, and come up with kind of like a top 10.
00:23:52.000I haven't been able to confirm how many it is or how far it's going.
00:23:55.000But find who the top people they were following on social media was.
00:23:59.000And then of those people, and I said, well, what is it?
00:24:02.000Are you going for the actual people who are saying storm the Capitol or commit some act of violence?
00:24:08.000They're going for the people who were trying to just say, hey, show up on January 6th because the president is going to give a speech on the South Lawn at the Oval.
00:24:17.000They're specifically putting lots of people who said come to D.C.
00:24:21.000Yeah, so if you promoted that event, which of course was a speech from the President of the United States, right?
00:24:26.000This was not the thing that happened afterwards.
00:24:29.000Then you are essentially going to be put on this thing.
00:24:32.000And then this is going to be said now and go with the report in Bloomberg.
00:24:37.000Bloomberg is saying that Mike Lindell, of all people, because he had that comment about August and everything, that they're saying we're now tracking to see whether or not people commit violence.
00:24:47.000The FBI in Bloomberg saying we need to be careful about August because we think that there will be extremist attacks because Mike Lindell, who sells pillows, is talking about August.
00:25:00.000And so August might be a key date for the extremists.
00:25:03.000I got to tell you, man, um, there's a lot of people who want to, want to show optimism.
00:25:08.000I, you know, we got Steve Bannon and Michael Malice who have both said they've been very optimistic, but what we're watching, I mean, it tracks very similarly to the rise of any authoritarian regime of the past several hundred years.
00:25:19.000And it doesn't look like we're getting our, we're going to, we're going to walk out of this one.
00:25:22.000It looks like we're going to be underneath the boot on this one.
00:25:25.000So the question always comes down to that critical mass, right?
00:25:31.000Hopefully that it will be a political conflict in terms of it's done through words, it's done through elections, and we can steer clear of anything.
00:25:43.000That being said, though, I do think there's a reason that Joe Biden keeps talking about civil war.
00:25:48.000Again, there is not a day that goes by that you do not hear someone from the White House saying the phrase civil war or making some kind of reference to it.
00:26:27.000And beyond that, they want to stop the populist movement.
00:26:29.000Ever since the Internet really kind of came out, and then Internet 2.0 with the rise of social media came out, it became a very big problem for the people who used to be able to just control the narrative, right?
00:26:42.000None of this could have happened in the 90s, by the way.
00:26:44.000And so for the Gen Z types out there who are watching this saying, oh, well, I don't remember any of that, Battle of Seattle, etc.
00:26:51.000In the 90s, there were like five TV channels and a couple of newspapers.
00:26:55.000And if you wanted to control the narrative, it was very easy.
00:26:58.000That's why, you know, I think for a lot of people who are younger, Iraq WMDs, that was kind of like the last, you know, the last sort of time where it worked, where just a lot of people said, well, you know, the government says there's There's WMDs in Iraq.
00:27:11.000I mean, I guess we gotta... But everybody was saying it.
00:27:15.000There's no... Right, because those other voice... I mean, you might be able to find, like, you know, a certain AM radio host who was around at the time who would probably be speaking out against that, but that was probably it.
00:27:27.000There was no other form of mass media.
00:27:30.000We don't even use that phrase anymore, by the way, mass media, because everybody had through social media has the capacity to be mass media.
00:27:42.000We do a lot of we use a lot of our phones to film it.
00:27:44.000People probably don't realize we have good cameras and then we just use phones.
00:27:47.000I always say that the greatest journalist of 2016 was Zdenek Garza, the guy who was a firefighter on his day off on 9-11 who decided to go to the memorial and then got that video of Hillary passing out when everybody in the world said that it wasn't happening.
00:28:52.000And then you've also got, and you can see this in the documents that are coming out from DOJ and all this, they've got people in Facebook chat rooms, they've got people in telegrams, they've got informants all over the place.
00:29:03.000BuzzFeed, of all people, BuzzFeed just said that the Michigan plot had 12 FBI informants.
00:29:32.000Do you remember the Simpsons episode where Homer, it turns out he hasn't paid his taxes so they ask him to go undercover on his friend?
00:29:41.000So they put a wire on him and it's this huge box under his shirt and he's walking around Moe's and he says, He says, so you guys committing any crimes right now?
00:29:53.000And they're like, Homer, do you mean like the time that you were trying to counterfeit money?
00:29:58.000And Boo's like, no, I mean like stuff that involves You give more examples.
00:30:21.000You know, and it's and I laugh, but it's it's that's kind of what's going on right now, you know, is that you you have a solution in search of a problem.
00:30:28.000By the way, this is something that I saw in the intelligence community.
00:30:31.000Um, when I was in there, that as the war on terror was wound down, you had all of these, you know, they would say capacities, right?
00:30:38.000You had all of these teams, you had all of these special operations forces, you had all these super high powered intelligence programs, collection programs, all designed to what?
00:30:47.000Protect America from terrorism, right?
00:30:49.000But as the war on terror is winding down, You have all of these toys, right?
00:30:54.000And yet you don't have any authority to use them anywhere.
00:30:56.000So you have to say, well, and you have all these people who have joined saying, hey, I need to defend the country.
00:31:01.000I've been told we have all this Gucci hardware, these Gucci programs.
00:31:11.000There's got to be somebody out there, right?
00:31:12.000When you are a hammer, you view everyone as a nail, right?
00:31:17.000And so you have a supply and demand problem when it came to what But I think that has a lot to do with the midterms and with Donald Trump running again.
00:31:26.000They will, by any means necessary, stop Republicans and Trump from winning.
00:31:29.000threat is not overseas anymore, it's right here behind every blade of grass.
00:31:33.000But I think that has a lot to do with the midterms and with Donald Trump running again.
00:31:37.000They will, they will by any means necessary stop Republicans and Trump from winning.
00:31:58.000I mean, look, we saw Republicans win safe Democrat districts in 2020.
00:32:02.000This could be the Republicans taking back the House.
00:32:04.000And as I've said, the Republicans, they won't, but they should immediately impeach Joe Biden for all of the... Look, If they could impeach Trump over a phone call with Ukraine, we got way more than that about Joe Biden with Ukraine and Mexico and all the other garbage he did with his son Hunter.
00:32:18.000But the Republicans get that house, they can start filing subpoenas, they can do what the Democrats did.
00:32:23.000Now the Democrats aren't gonna let that happen.
00:32:25.000Not to mention the Republicans probably wouldn't do it anyway because they're Really, really weak.
00:32:30.000But the Democrats don't want to lose power.
00:32:32.000That all depends on which Republicans end up winning these primaries.
00:32:35.000That's why the primary fight is so big right now is, and you look at some of these states, not only in the House races, but in the Senate races, where, because Republicans know, they have a very good chance of taking back the Senate.
00:32:46.000That's why you've got stuff that's heating up in Missouri, in Arizona, in Ohio.
00:32:50.000These are all places where people either look at it as a potential Republican pickup or
00:32:54.000a you know, got a Republican that's leaving Wisconsin may or may not with Portman.
00:33:00.000I know he said that he's not going to run again, but actually I don't know if I'm like
00:33:03.000breaking news here, but he's that he may actually run for reelection in Wisconsin.
00:33:08.000But and you've got strong candidates, right?
00:33:11.000I'm constantly getting people to say, hey, Jack, you should take a side with this guy and take a side with that guy.
00:33:17.000I think there's a lot of strong candidates.
00:33:19.000And I think I hear a lot of people saying the right things, just like you're saying, that you've got younger Republicans now who are stepping up saying, look, I don't want to just win to say that I won the race.
00:33:28.000I want to be in charge in the Texas governor's primary.
00:33:31.000That's why Abbott is facing some of this stuff, because they're saying, not a Texan, but I never thought of Abbott as some kind of rhino.
00:33:40.000But now you've got people going up against him saying, how come you didn't pass an election law a decade ago?
00:33:44.000How come you didn't pass this law back then?
00:33:46.000If, in the midterms, enough right populists win and displace neocon and establishment Republicans, then they might actually start doing stuff.
00:33:54.000Imagine if every seat taken is by a Marjorie Taylor Greene or a Lauren Boebert or a Matt Gaetz.
00:33:59.000Right, so this is something where, you know, I've got to give credit where credit's due.
00:34:04.000You look at the DSA, the Democrats, Socialists of America, and the way the squad kind of rose up out of the DSA and rose up out of their sort of talking points.
00:34:14.000It's almost like what they did is they created kind of like how Major League Baseball has the minor leagues, right?
00:34:20.000It's sort of like a farm team where people can compete, people can move up their way up in the ranks, and then as they get up into Congress, they then are beholden to all of that stuff that they had to go through when they came up through the DSA.
00:34:33.000Well, the right doesn't have anything like that.
00:34:34.000The right has no organizations like that whatsoever that may be changing.
00:34:39.000But from this point on, it's just more like it's kind of more of a free for all.
00:34:42.000But I do see that as a potential model for people on the right or for just people who are populist in general to say, look, we are going to have our own organizations that are maybe have a tenuous affiliation with, you know, one side or the other.
00:34:56.000But what they really serve to do is to credential people, is to bring them up through the ranks, is to give, you know, kind of like put them through the ringer, you know, here and there.
00:35:05.000And then when it comes to So let's go back to what the Democrats are doing, or the Biden administration specifically, targeting people with this terrorism.
00:35:18.000I think it's because, that's the point, if enough strong Republicans, young, energetic, and populist Republicans get in, they're going to have tremendous power in the House that could be very, very disruptive to the very flimsy amount of power the Democrats are, or flimsy thread they're holding on by.
00:35:40.000They support Trump, this proves it, and they try and do everything in their power to use the government to go after those who might actually upset their power.
00:35:48.000They want to solidify their power and control.
00:35:50.000They need one more Senate seat to actually firmly have the Senate.
00:35:57.000And there's a lot of people I know, and you guys probably know people like this, who are just really dumb, don't care about politics, hear it in the background on CNN, believe it.
00:36:09.000So you think that the Democrats are going at this politically, like, if we can suppress this insurrection, then we'll stay in office and retain power, but that there's also like a global organization that wants to buy your stuff so that it can rent it back to you that's using this opportunity?
00:36:27.000Well, there's international interests, certainly, who want to own things and make money off it.
00:36:32.000I think of it more like a fire, you know, or rot.
00:36:36.000It's not like there's one guy who's twerking his mustache going, like Klaus Schwab.
00:36:40.000Everyone assumes he's, you know, he's influential for sure.
00:36:42.000And a lot of these wealthy people George shows are influential, but it's applied pressure.
00:36:46.000Enough powerful people want a similar thing and they're applying pressure in a similar direction.
00:36:51.000And so the fires of that elitism keep burning.
00:36:55.000So if you have... It's like if you have ten people in a country, and they're all wealthy industrialists, and seven of them are communists, well, they're gonna keep funding communists, not together as a conspiracy, just because seven of them are communists.
00:37:10.000Eventually then, the people who have food and money and are reproducing are communists, and then the three who support the capitalists or the free market for enterprise people, they don't have as much success, so then the culture becomes dominated by communism.
00:37:22.000It's part of the problem of doing nothing.
00:37:24.000They say if good men do nothing, that's like worse than evil itself.
00:37:27.000It's because when you do nothing, then kids are born and they're raised in an environment where psychosis is the norm, like occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:37:38.000No offense if you were born after the year 2000, but...
00:37:42.000If you didn't see what happened on 9-11, and if you didn't read the evidence about that in the years afterwards, and the weapons of mass destruction, and watch the slow decline into occupation that the United States has become, it was terrifying.
00:38:49.000And we were serving in similar communities, put it that way.
00:38:52.000So I was like one degree moved from some of those guys.
00:38:56.000And at that time, you know, we were still at, at on edge with North Korea, we're certainly always on edge with China.
00:39:06.000It would not have taken much to see people I knew or, you know, various missions to, you know, kind of see myself in that position and thinking that, you know, that image, right, of American sailors on their knees with their hands behind their heads.
00:39:22.000Iran of all countries to Iran and to not have a secretary of state and a president who were immediately getting on television or picking up the phone and saying, well, this was Trump.
00:40:27.000So there is an EEZ around that island as well.
00:40:31.000And their ship, I believe in the official report it came out, they actually ran out of fuel because the junior officer on there didn't actually calculate the fuel that they would need for the journey.
00:40:41.000They were going from the northern Gulf all the way down to Bahrain.
00:40:46.000And they didn't compute it correctly, etc, etc.
00:41:11.000If, if the IRGC, if the Iranian Revolutionary Guard had picked up some of our sailors and even had even considered getting close, right?
00:41:19.000We are, this is Trump, by the way, who actually did just straight up merc an Iranian general, like the leader of, of their, of their force, the Quds Force, which is like their, it's kind of like they're still team six in many ways.
00:41:31.000But, but far beyond that, because they're terrorists as well.
00:42:44.000That was We yeah, yeah, we are going to pay attention to what's going on in our backyard, because it is in our national strategic interest to do so, right?
00:42:53.000That's why Guantanamo Bay is our oldest overseas institution, overseas military installation that we have since 1898.
00:43:00.000I've actually walked those trails, where the rough riders went in a lot of that base, you know, you can actually see, you know, kind of walk through the battles that took place during the Spanish American War.
00:43:11.000It's kind of amazing just to be able to walk in those footsteps.
00:43:14.000But you know, for him to not just stand up for being the leader of the United States and act like a great power, right?
00:43:23.000It really goes to show you that how much that you know, it's it's almost like the Biden's personal decline almost parallels the way that he's putting America on the path to decline.
00:43:36.000It's like the dad who gets bossed around at work and is feeble, so he goes home angry and beats his wife because she can't do anything about it, right?
00:43:45.000Not strong enough to stand up to those who are actually causing us problems.
00:43:49.000The Biden administration has a really easy time of condemning its own citizens.
00:43:55.000The 75 million people who voted for Trump, they're the bad guys, but Russia, China, and Iran, oh, better, better, better, Right, if you were walking around the wrong place in the Capitol at the wrong time, and I say this as somebody who was physically there on Constitution Avenue watching as this all took place, right?
00:44:14.000I knew, and I said this on air on One American News at the time, I said, there are going to be people showing up a quarter of the way back or a third of the way back there.
00:45:12.000And so we have a really interesting situation right now where it almost feels like he doesn't treat those people as if they are citizens of the United States and he is their president, right?
00:45:22.000It's almost like he kind of thinks, well, those guys are Trump supporters, so I can treat them differently than I would treat a regular US citizen who's all of us.
00:45:30.000This is what people need to understand in this country.
00:45:33.000Joe Biden has not been speaking to you this entire time.
00:45:58.000And Republicans, conservatives, disaffected liberals, political homeless, IDW, whatever you are, you better recognize that they look at themselves as the correct, the mainstream, the appropriate, and anyone who deviates from that group is an outside other extremist.
00:46:40.000But she has this comment and it's so illustrative of this mentality and it so perfectly defines what you're talking about because she says, You know, we need to make life harder for the unvaccinated.
00:46:53.000We need to make there be penalties for them going through this.
00:46:58.000And I'm not even talking about necessarily focusing on her vaccine comments, which of course a lot of people have talked about.
00:47:17.000You're a CNN contributor, and yet you're acting as if you have state-like power.
00:47:23.000And that is why I use this term that I've started to put it into the political parlance, and eventually I call it the overstate.
00:47:30.000Right, and this, it sort of combines this idea of the sovereignty of the U.S.
00:47:37.000government, right, and state governments, but also the connection with the media, with academia, with social media, etc., Silicon Valley, Wall Street, this idea that there is, so when she's saying we, who's she talking about?
00:49:23.000When Joe Biden says it's no longer about who gets to vote, it's about who gets to count the vote or something to that effect, he's basically saying it doesn't matter.
00:50:47.000But do you think that there are people who, at this point, just see him so illegitimate that they just don't view him as the president and they would view someone else?
00:50:59.000When people said, Trump is not my president, you had that schism.
00:51:07.000And you can go, by the way, Joe Biden, he gave, you have the clip he said there, but there was another clip where he said, you know, this is not what, that's not how we do things in America.
00:51:37.000In your own words, you said essentially that Donald Trump didn't win because of Russia.
00:51:42.000So you were saying he was an illegitimate president just months ago.
00:51:46.000When Joe Biden, Democrat pundit CNN, began referring to themselves as we, which excludes you, you need to recognize what that means is happening in this country.
00:51:56.000Already it is very obvious that there are two clearly distinct groups.
00:52:01.000One currently has the power of federal law enforcement and they are using it to crush dissidents.
00:53:00.000And not even to get into that issue, but punitive measures for people who have decided not to opt into your preferred preference.
00:53:08.000We are going to take punitive measures against them.
00:53:12.000There are people who are pro-vaccine, who have danced and sang at the advent of mRNA vaccines, who are told by their doctors for pregnancy reasons, for allergy reasons, you are not recommended to get this, and they're saying make their lives harder.
00:53:28.000Or is it when I'm hearing autoimmune disease that apparently some people have this FDA announcement?
00:53:53.000They're not going through these—at 7-Eleven, at bars.
00:53:55.000I don't want to get into that whole debate.
00:53:56.000The point is, they're not talking about—when she said, we, she was referring to a group of people who are ex-governmental or extra-governmental, who somehow have the ability to implement policies and enforcement over everybody else.
00:54:12.000Who is she, or the people on CNN, to assert that they have the ability to even enforce non-laws over people who are not part of that group?
00:54:26.000And when she says that, and doesn't get any pushback from any of them, and you can see there's three people on at that point, no pushback whatsoever, because they all have that power.
00:54:35.000Because they know they're in the driver's seat, and they know that they are part of, and there isn't a name for it, and that's why I'm coming up with it.
00:55:11.000Jesse Kelly, I think, said Democrats won the culture war because they were the only ones fighting it.
00:55:17.000So this is, this is, um, you know, I know I'm not supposed to do this, but this is, uh, William F Buckley, you know, this is the problem with his famous phrase.
00:55:24.000So his famous phrase was, uh, a conservative is someone who stands a thwart history yelling stop, right?
00:55:31.000Well, if you're just someone who's standing a thwart history yelling stop, and yet other people are going to say, Hey, let's try this.
00:56:42.000Imagine what these communists are, the overstate, the party members.
00:56:47.000They represent a group that says, we got this amazing skyscraper, let's tear the whole thing down and then live amongst the rubble as we rebuild.
00:56:54.000Then you have conservatives who are like, the building's fine as it is, stop.
00:56:58.000And then you've got other people who are saying, we can probably improve this building quite a bit.
00:57:02.000Let's keep it and get rid of the broken parts and put in good parts.
00:57:08.000So yeah, I don't identify with those who are like, burn it down!
00:57:10.000This is my problem with the way that a lot of people have been going against the CRT debate, the critical race theory debate, which, and don't get me wrong, right?
00:57:19.000I think people are doing fantastic work, Chris Ruppo specifically on that front, but If you're just going to be one of these governors who says, Oh, I'm banning critical race theory and critical race theory bad.
00:58:01.000When we had Charlie Kirk on the show, he mentioned that during Occupy, the conservative movement wasn't ready for a lot of these things, like calling out the corporations and censorship and Wall Street and big tech and things like that.
00:58:10.000And I'm like, I don't think conservatives ever are because they're literally always just saying stop.
00:58:17.000Yeah, reactionaries oppose the revolution.
00:58:20.000Right, so reactionary is a term that came up during the French Revolution.
00:58:23.000And so it was actually a propaganda term used by the Jacobins and the murderous authoritarians of the French Revolution for their political opponents who said, hey, maybe we shouldn't kill everybody and destroy all of French culture.
00:58:38.000You know, maybe we can just start go around executing people because we decide we want to.
00:58:50.000So, back to the conservative statement, populist is maybe a better word.
00:58:55.000The libertarians are very much involved, but they don't like Donald Trump.
00:58:59.000I think with, like, Dave Smith and the Mises Caucus, you actually have strong, principled libertarians now who very much so will say they don't like Donald Trump, but very much so will oppose a lot of what the Democrats are doing.
00:59:10.000And I think that's something a lot of the populists actually agree with.
00:59:13.000So they might not agree with criticism of Trump, but I think the one thing that Trump animated, or the one thing about Trump that animated a lot of people was anti-establishment.
00:59:22.000I think there's substantially more anti-establishment people in whatever this faction is, so I don't know what the right word is to describe them.
00:59:29.000The people who are actually demanding things.
00:59:31.000You look at people like, you know, Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene, who actually say, hey, we want a thing.
00:59:36.000Most Republicans are like, we're gonna, we say no to Democrats.
01:00:11.000So far, I mean, again, I don't know if this is the final list, but those are the two members of Congress that I was told that would be on the list.
01:00:21.000By banning people on the right, they have made sure that the only voices you hear are the, for the most part, Spineless, weak Republicans who just say, please stop Democrats.
01:00:34.000The fierce, fighting, angry people who are like, this is what we want and why we want it, all have been banned.
01:01:01.000And as we say, even McCarthy is kind of saying, well, I'm going to strip her of her committees, but I'm not going to kick her out of the caucus and all that.
01:01:12.000So this atomization of It's and it's it's part of an other rising.
01:01:16.000This goes back to, you know, it actually goes back to what the German Stasi would do in in East Germany, because when they realized that it got to a certain point where they were disappearing too many people, and they realized that, okay, you know, this is getting a little bit too on untenuous for us.
01:01:33.000Well, okay, what we're going to do then is instead of of You know, disappearing you and locking you up because that's hard.
01:01:48.000We're going to use all of our power implements so that people, yeah, you can be out there and you can have your quote unquote free speech, but no one will listen to you.
01:01:56.000They amazingly condemn Marjorie Taylor Greene for things she said before she was even in office.
01:02:02.000Kevin McCarthy goes along with everything the Democrats say, and it's very obvious.
01:02:04.000The established Republicans and the Democrats are part of the Uniparty, and right now the Republicans are just frantic because there is an invasive force of populists who have come in and started making changes.
01:02:15.000So maybe what'll happen is they'll put out that list.
01:02:19.000Oh, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are on that list, huh?
01:02:22.000I'd imagine the America First candidates, the right-wing populist candidates, obviously huge overlap, the ones who are trying to primary, they're all going to be labeled extremists.
01:02:32.000There's going to be stories in every major newspaper about, oh, these Republicans, they're evil and dangerous.
01:04:09.000But he was, but Bernie was able to to rise up because he had the people on his side and all of that money flowing into him empowered him greatly.
01:04:16.000Well, be it fortuitous for the establishment that they have destroyed the economy and hurt the working class and made them mostly destitute and homeless and living off of government welfare and unemployment bills and child tax credits, Now you could have 10 million supporters.
01:04:32.000If they're too broke to donate to you, they don't.
01:04:35.000But the wealthy elites whose net worth went up, we were able to donate whatever they want to whoever they want.
01:04:57.000At the stadiums, where we were going, at the arenas where we were going to show up, the concession stand, the line, was like 40 minutes long for each of them.
01:05:20.000And now they have a worker shortage, because there's so many people that are living off of government and say, Hey, I get this money for free.
01:05:28.000For that, I got to go deal with drunk people, I got to go deal with, you know, whatever, you got my order wrong.
01:05:33.000So I got to go deal with emotional abuse.
01:05:35.000Why go back to work if I'm if I can still get money for this?
01:05:38.000It's a massive worker shortage out there.
01:06:02.000Yeah, eventually what happens is the value of the dollar becomes zero because... Why work?
01:06:10.000Well, the problem with the thermodynamic thing that says you can't get more energy out of a system than you put into it only assumes that there's a closed system that you're working within.
01:06:18.000But in reality, there are no closed systems.
01:06:20.000Energy can always come from further away than we knew it existed.
01:06:23.000So, I do believe zero point energy is possible.
01:06:54.000And then America will be the consumers.
01:06:56.000America will say, you sit there, you're going to, you know, whatever is the new movie that gets rolled off the assembly line, you're all going to go watch it.
01:07:04.000And now they don't even need to do that.
01:07:16.000Check out this story from the Daily Mail.
01:07:18.000A 1972 prediction of the collapse of society is on track to happen by 2040.
01:07:25.000Economic growth will halt in a decade.
01:07:28.000Food will become scarce and human population will decline, KPMG study finds.
01:07:34.000They say MIT used a world simulation model to learn how our world would fare from 1972
01:07:39.000The model looked at a number of factors, such as population, industrial output, and persistent pollution, and found a societal collapse could happen by 2040.
01:07:48.000The research was criticized at the time, but an accounting firm, Analysis, took another look at MIT's data and found their stark prediction was correct.
01:07:55.000The recent work shows our business as usual mentality will spark a decline of economic growth within the next decade, but a total collapse by 2040.
01:08:04.000I wonder if there are powerful international elites who saw that news in 1972, saw those stories, and then not by a conspiracy, but by a standalone complex, very powerful individuals influenced by similar things, decided to take actions within their industries in a certain direction, which led us to today.
01:08:56.000There was some audio that was posted by the guy, Phoenix Ammunition guys tweeted this out, retweeted it, where it's like audio recordings where he's like, we're lending out a thousand rounds.
01:09:05.000They're saying they're running out of ammunition.
01:09:06.000And then there's another audio recording where it's like, we're running out of bullets.
01:09:36.000And the Venezuelans tried to steal it.
01:09:39.000You get this MIT report, and we're sitting here talking about Civil War and Thucydides Trap and the fourth turning, and now we can add another predictor to that mess.
01:09:49.000You know, humans blowing each other up is one problem, and I don't want to derail this because this is a good conversation, but what I fear is what happened in Texas when it froze over and the wind turbines stopped working, the electric grid shut down, the centralized electric grid failed, people started freezing to death.
01:10:04.000Wildfires that burn people alive because they can't get out.
01:11:26.000What happens when the power goes out for a long enough period of time that order breaks down?
01:11:30.000I mean, you look at what happened in South Africa, with all of the stores being looted, the warehouses being looted, when order is just, when people are like, hey, guess what?
01:11:39.000And not only that, but it's not just order, it's when made-to-order, right?
01:11:43.000It's when on-demand breaks down, right?
01:11:45.000It's when I can't get my Disney+, I can't get my streaming, I can't get this, I can't get my Uber Eats.
01:11:51.000I can't get all of these different things where stuff is just delivered to me by my gig slaves.
01:11:56.000When that breaks down and suddenly I have to... I know people who don't even shop anymore.
01:12:00.000It's easily exemplified by the Treehouse of Horror with the Simpsons where it was a play on The Shining and Homer was trying to, you know, had no TV.
01:12:09.000So he became murderous and started rampaging around trying to kill his family, the Simpson
01:13:09.000They don't have that at all because they don't have, it may be someone like the big cities in, in, uh, in Eastern Europe, they have that, but in for their, for them, it's, Hey, I, I went out in the morning, I bought some fresh stuff, and now I'm going to cook it.
01:13:23.000I'm going to spend the day washing it and cooking it and preparing the dinner and getting it done.
01:13:30.000I joke about this, but they won't even use the dishwasher.
01:13:53.000They're just super like they're way more used to, hey, if you want to get something, if you want some walnuts, if you want some cucumbers, hey, go outside.
01:14:05.000That's how you take care of the future and the future.
01:14:08.000And you look at what we have now and it always makes me kind of reflect back on the way, you know, strawberries in winter, you know, you come out and say, Is this better?
01:14:23.000It's better for building brain matter, because having access to all those nutrients make us able to be stronger, potentially, intelligently, but people have been abusing it.
01:14:32.000I mean, if you put aspartame... I don't know, man.
01:14:57.000Tanya's father, when he came to the U.S., we went out, I think we, I forget where we were, but we were in some place and the only thing that was open was fast food.
01:15:08.000And we got some stuff and he was like, I'm not eating this.
01:15:28.000So you get it and then you start eating stuff and you realize it doesn't have the sort of
01:15:31.000sensationalism kind of tastes that US food would have, but it's richer and you can really
01:15:37.000taste, you can really taste, you know, the true nutrients that are in it.
01:15:42.000You can taste so many different flavors that you weren't used to having.
01:15:45.000You say, oh, this is what meat is supposed to taste like.
01:15:48.000This is what vegetables are supposed to.
01:15:50.000It's not just that, it's when you're eating nothing but garbage, you lose, I'll put it a better way, when you're really, really hungry, everything tastes better.
01:15:58.000When you're eating healthy, and then you have those garden fresh veggies, and you're eating it, you're like, it just tastes so good.
01:16:04.000It's like when you, imagine like chugging a bunch of soda, and then eating a scoop of ice cream, and like the sweet, your sweetness overload, you ever have that?
01:16:11.000Where it's like the ice cream doesn't even taste sweet, because you have too much sugar in your mouth already.
01:16:17.000I was reading about sugar addiction, And how the sugar content of our drinks kept going up for a long period of time because people would drink a soda with like 10 grams of sugar and then they would find a soda with 15 and be like, ooh, this one's better.
01:16:30.000And so the next company's like, make it 17, make it 19, make it 20, 25.
01:16:34.000Now it's up to, I think, for like a Coke, 48 grams of sugar.
01:16:37.000Isn't that the thing where, and I'm sure this is more of a more apocryphal than actual true story, but the idea that Coca-Cola used to be, you know, it used to actually have cocaine in it, right?
01:16:51.000The next part is, you know, where basically they said, well, once that was criminalized, they had to find something else that was just as addictive to put in their soda.
01:17:09.000Well, I mean, caffeine causes euphoria.
01:17:12.000It stimulates the brain in a very, very similar way.
01:17:16.000There actually is, and I think we talked about this on one of the last times I was here, but that you could actually trace the enlightenment to the introduction of coffee in Europe, right?
01:17:27.000Psychoactive stimulants all of a sudden were like, whoa!
01:17:30.000Right, and then prior to that, right, and if you look at any like medieval literature or any medieval sources, you always see people always, they're going to the inn, they're drinking mead, they're drinking, that's like, People were kind of buzzed all the time, like water, you know, healthy water or drinkable water was not readily available in the Middle Ages.
01:17:47.000And so if you want something, you want it fermented, you want something that's been processed, so you are going to be drinking alcohol more.
01:17:54.000So there's the idea that people just in the Middle Ages were just generally kind of buzzed all the time.
01:21:00.000What happened to, what happened to the people?
01:21:02.000So look, so, so, I mean, Italy still exists, right?
01:21:06.000I mean, like, like, like Rome as a city still exists, right?
01:21:10.000The Roman, it got annihilated in terms of the people.
01:21:12.000It got conquered and then reconquered and then conquered back and then reconquered People were living in like shelled out buildings and the
01:21:18.000population was decimated by 90 plus percent.
01:21:21.000And so when you put all this together, right, when you do put all this together, when you
01:21:24.000talk about the weakening of the US as a system, right, the US as a system, and then you go
01:21:32.000to the military side and you can see, so Russia, Iran and China are telling us what we need
01:22:28.000What happens with the rest of the world when the United States has blood in the water and all the sharks start coming, realizing the US can't defend its allies anymore?
01:22:39.000When you look at what happens in a lot of these countries, like the police breakdown in South Africa, where the cops are actually looting now.
01:22:45.000Once the unrest gets to a certain point, people say, the cops can't stop us.
01:22:50.000And we saw it in the United States, in Baltimore, in Ferguson.
01:22:52.000The police can stop, you know, it's like whack-a-mole.
01:22:55.000When the whack-a-mole's coming up really slow, the cops can go and stop unrest.
01:22:58.000But when they keep coming up like crazy, there's not enough police to stop it.
01:23:05.000But the thing that got me about that was the speed.
01:23:09.000Right, the speed at which... The whole city!
01:23:12.000I was driving down the street and I saw some random people walking down the street just stop and throw something through a window and climb in the rob from the store.
01:23:19.000And what blew my mind was that You knew it was going to happen.
01:23:25.000Everyone in the city knew there's going to be riots tonight.
01:24:39.000But if you happen, if you're at the Mandelman Mall, which is in North Baltimore, that place was smashed apart.
01:24:45.000And I'll say this too, because people will get on me and say, oh, well, that was, You know, this, whatever, no, it was every race, every ethnicity, every group under the sun, Utah, Asians, Hispanic, white, black, everybody was getting in on this, right?
01:24:58.000You were going to the Target, you were grabbing a TV, you were grabbing anything you could, we were pickup trucks full of appliances, and I would just see him just driving by with it, or a guy like holding a couple of laptop boxes, walking down the street.
01:25:11.000I mean, it was just chaos, just mass chaos, and it was in an eye blink.
01:25:17.000Everything that you think Our society is, right?
01:25:22.000All of those basic, you know, unspoken, you know, the unspoken rules, but then also just the actual laws on the books disappeared.
01:26:07.000should be involved with Taiwan and Hong Kong purely because it's China geographically right next to China, whereas I don't think they should be messing with Cuba.
01:26:14.000Not that it's American soil and not that Taiwan is Chinese soil.
01:26:18.000And if the Americans were to invade Cuba and take it, they would do it economically anyway.
01:26:23.000It's fascinating that China has, to its southeast, this island that they claim is theirs.
01:26:29.000And the people there are not communists.
01:26:32.000is saying, don't you dare intervene or we'll stop you.
01:26:35.000And then you have in the southeast of the U.S., Cuba, which is communist.
01:26:38.000And you get China, Russia and Iran saying, don't you dare intervene.
01:26:41.000Which, and by the way, it's interesting enough that one thing that people leave out about the Taiwan situation, the reason they don't call themselves the country of Taiwan officially is because they still maintain that they are the sovereign power over all of China and Mongolia.
01:28:27.000It's money and power at the end of the day.
01:28:30.000All these fancy, you know, terms and euphemisms that we can come up with.
01:28:33.000It's just money and power at the end of the day.
01:28:35.000They have it and they don't want you to have it.
01:28:37.000And the idea is that you, the pleb, will be in the renter class and they will own.
01:28:43.000They don't want you, the pleb, to have it because they're afraid the pleb will unseat them?
01:28:50.000Like, are they afraid for their livelihoods and their family and their money?
01:28:53.000Okay, you need to understand, Ian, that as the ignorant rabble You truly don't understand worldly affairs, and the elites need to manage all of this stuff.
01:29:03.000Otherwise, humans simply become massively overweight and addicted to drugs and video games, and they overpopulate, and eventually the earth just falls apart.
01:29:13.000It is incumbent upon better men to decide what you should do with your life.
01:29:18.000Remember, this is referred to as noblesse oblige.
01:29:44.000No, I go back, look, people, there's some guys getting on me for running a Game of Thrones blog, and that's like how I first, you know, kind of was operating on the internet.
01:29:52.000And so I was getting on me over this and they were like, Oh, you're just a Game of Thrones bar.
01:29:55.000I was like, well, I mean, I was an intelligence officer at the same time, just not publicly.
01:29:59.000And I'm like, but that being said, I think it's actually quite useful to understanding where we're going and how we see things, right?
01:30:12.000So certainly there are different factions vying for power, but you would never see a member of one of the houses of Westeros allowing one of the... they even call them the small folk.
01:30:21.000There's a word for this in Chinese, 老百姓, it means the old hundred names.
01:30:26.000And so there's the idea that they are the rabble, they are the deplorables, if you will, and we are the elites, we are those in power.
01:30:37.000Why should they leave the world, the fate of the world, in the hands of people who eat, you know, who drink a quart of soda with their triple cheeseburger smothered in barbecue sauce?
01:30:48.000Wash their teeth with Mountain Dew, you know?
01:30:51.000When I was in Shanghai, so I was at the Shanghai American Chamber of Commerce, and there is a museum in, they call it a museum, it's not really a museum, they call it the Shanghai Municipal Planning Museum, but it's actually more of a planning center.
01:31:05.000And when, so CODELS, Congressional Delegations, or Business Delegations, or Governors, or Senators, whatever, would come to Shanghai, they would always bring them to the Municipal Planning Center, right?
01:31:17.000And the CCP members, so this is the local Shanghai party, and actually when I was there, the guy who was the chairman of the city party of Shanghai was a guy by the name of Xi Jinping, right?
01:31:28.000He's gone on to become a little bit more prominent.
01:31:35.000I actually had the opportunity to meet him once.
01:31:38.000And we always knew that he was going up to Politburo, but we didn't realize it was going to be that big that fast.
01:31:45.000I always kind of referred to him as he was like the Shanghai Tony Soprano, which is how he carried himself with huge entourage, you know, overcoat, you know, off the shoulder kind of deal.
01:31:54.000But when they would bring our leaders there, Martin O'Malley, I remember he came over when he was governor.
01:32:00.000They would go down and they would say, wait a minute.
01:32:02.000You guys, if you decide you want a financial sector, you can just draw on the map and say, this is going to be our financial district and boom, you just have it within 10 years and it's just there.
01:32:14.000And if you want capital, it's just handed to you.
01:32:16.000And if you want a high-speed rail, boom, you just get your high-speed rail and you can put it wherever you want.
01:32:20.000You say you want an entertainment center, Disney wants a park, right?
01:32:25.000So I was actually there for, I was in some of those early planning meetings with Disney in Shanghai as they're meeting with the CCP to say, oh, hey, we're going to build our park.
01:32:40.000These are, these are actually, there's a historic type of building that they would have in old Shanghai called the Shikumen.
01:32:46.000And there are these really cool like interlocking houses and sort of like housing units where you'd have a courtyard and then around it people would go and then so people could meet the kids would go in the courtyard and like older couples would kind of hang out there to kind of sort of like watch over the kids teach them things and then if they were these communities everybody and it's all stone, right?
01:33:59.000One of the heroes is Lu Bei, who's this guy who wants to restore the Han Dynasty.
01:34:02.000The emperor has fallen and all these warlords are vying for power, but this one guy who's kind of the moral hero of the story wants to restore the old empire.
01:34:14.000And they make him this massive hero, and I'm realizing, this is...
01:35:41.000Well, you're very welcome, and if you're worried about bumps in the night, and you're worried about your sleep, the best way to be knowing that you have an upgraded sleep system is by going to mypillow.com backslash poso and using promo code poso thegeesedreamsleepshow.
01:36:58.000There's actually a scene in there where they just fly from New York to Havana and he takes this girl on the date.
01:37:02.000Sky Mastodon takes her out on this date.
01:37:04.000And so it was just seen as like a place you could go in the Caribbean very easily.
01:37:10.000And so there was actually talk of, funny enough, the Confederacy was talking about conquering Cuba at one point and using that as a readout in a very, you know, kind of an eerie sort of like mirror version of what happened with Taiwan and China, right?
01:37:25.000They were talking about taking over Cuba and making that a confederate state at one point.
01:37:29.000Did you see the story about the George Floyd mural?
01:37:58.000And I checked immediately, you know what I did?
01:38:01.000I checked the weather in Toledo for that day.
01:38:04.000And it was sunny all day, except for this moment where a storm gathered over the building, lightning struck the mural, and then immediately the storm dissipates.
01:38:12.000And like, when you look at the photos, you can see the ground is mostly dry, and there's like a little bit of water, like you can see the discoloration a little bit.
01:38:19.000And it's like, the weather said it was sunny with scattered clouds all day.
01:39:01.000The Schumann resonance is this weird, like, extremely low frequency of resonance in our... Me and Jack just look at each other like, what's he talking about?
01:39:07.000...in the upper magnetosphere of Earth.
01:39:09.000But I mean, lightning, I think it's more connected to human consciousness than we realize.
01:39:50.000I mean, was there anything metallic on the, you know, the side there?
01:39:54.000What, you know, that's what I'm trying to break.
01:39:55.000What attracted, or it's like when, you know, when we take our kids to the, um, you know, the pool, we have a pool that we take them.
01:40:01.000And, but, you know, just the other day there was a, you know, there was some thunder and it was like, okay, out of the pool, just straight up, get out of the pool.
01:40:08.000Does it, you know, come, we're going to go inside.
01:40:11.000So, you know, I'm just wondering if there's something that... They've got the Native American rain dance.
01:40:14.000I mean, they believed they could call the rain.
01:40:16.000Ancient Chinese warriors could call the rain.
01:40:17.000Ancient societies around the world believed that there was a direct connection between human action and weather.
01:41:18.000I'll tell you, the Chelsea Manning story is really interesting because, you know, when Chelsea goes into prison, Coming out the entire left-right paradigm was mirrored and
01:41:30.000completely fractured Like wiki leaks was now the bad guy. So
01:41:35.000What do you do in that situation where you're like you're on the left? You're like go wiki leaks
01:41:40.000I'll support you the left is in this weird position where there were like
01:41:44.000pro Chelsea Manning, but anti Julian Assange Right.
01:41:53.000But they together created what, you know, became, you know, that whole Chelsea Manning, Cassandra Fairbanks thing was really twisted stuff.
01:42:01.000I mean, I can't go through the whole story about it, but they were... I don't want to speak too much.
01:42:06.000I'm friends with Cassandra, and I don't know exactly what happened, but I think it's just like they were friends because Cassandra very much supports WikiLeaks and Chelsea, but then Chelsea was Antifa and Cassandra was a Trump supporter, so there was this weird...
01:42:18.000Like thing that happened and I guess something happened with like Chelsea claiming she was infiltrating the right or something like that I don't she showed up to the I was there.
01:42:27.000It was at the a night for freedom in New York City I actually was the person who made sure That she had a comp ticket and was able to get in my brother was was manning the door and I said hey manning And I said hey just so you know Chelsea Manning's going to come in.
01:42:43.000I know there is some Antif outside, but you know, just, you know, here's a photo just so you know, let me give me a call to make sure everything's cool.
01:42:50.000And we had, I think we had like BuzzFeed there and a guy who, Charlie Roselle, who he's now, he was a New York Times writer and now he's like a Substack guy.
01:43:36.000I know a lot of people have experienced this.
01:43:38.000And I guess if you are moderately weak-willed, it's brain-breaking.
01:43:44.000So there's like, I'm friends with a ton of, or I should say, yeah, I still would consider myself to be friends with a lot of the old hacker community, a lot of these more prominent hackers and things like that, although mostly it's like kind of broken up quite a bit.
01:43:57.000The OG hackers from like the late 2000s, or I shouldn't say OG, but like some of the prominent hackers of that day, anonymous type individuals, telecomics, these people were heavily involved, have stayed true to their principles and are still friends with a lot of people.
01:44:10.000But a very large sect of the hacker community became authoritarian leftists, and it's really weird.
01:44:15.000Like, at the HOPE event, it's called Hackers on Planet Earth, they threw out a guy because he had a MAGA hat on.
01:44:21.000At first, the security guards were like, we don't care if you have a MAGA hat.
01:44:23.000Like, the hacker community is subversive, anti-establishment.
01:44:26.000But all of a sudden, like, core elements of the hacker community were very much like, oh, EGAD!
01:44:32.000Oh, we must support the FBI and the establishment!
01:44:35.000So you have to imagine there, these people, in the early, I mean, it's crazy to look back.
01:44:40.000I love referencing Rap News, I think number six, because it was a left-wing video praising Julian Assange, criticizing Hillary Clinton, and showing Alex Jones, it's a caricature by the way, claiming the commie Nazi fascists are coming.
01:44:55.000Now, I guess Alex Jones is called the fascist.
01:46:07.000He was the guy who lied and got us into—actually did lie to get us into Iraq, by the way.
01:46:11.000Um, and all, all of these different things, he was the scum of the earth, but, but, but at least, and this goes back to my earlier contentions, the game of thrones thing, high born versus the low born.
01:46:23.000And I was just, by the way, up in Southern Maine where the Bush's have their Kenny one port, you know, of course they're, Oh, excuse me.
01:46:56.000It's like, you know, you might fight with people in your family, but you don't let, like, you could be yelling about how your sister's dumb and she stole your stereo or something, but then when, you know, so the kid at high school insults your sister, you say, don't talk about my sister that way.
01:47:11.000But then you go home and say the same thing about her, right?
01:47:13.000So the highborn very much are like, George W. Bush is trash.
01:47:16.000And then when it comes to the highborn versus the, what is it, lowborn?
01:49:00.000Essentially, that's like the Enabling Act of the 21st century.
01:49:02.000And then ten years later, Barack Obama signed the indefinite detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the US government to effectively rendition anyone, anywhere, for any reason, permanently.
01:49:13.000That could be you, in your bed at night, just black bagged like Creedy.
01:49:16.000Yeah, no, and I'll say this straight up, right?
01:49:19.000I was a guy who joined the Intel community.
01:49:38.000has these problems, or has these powers.
01:49:42.000I'm here to say, civil libertarians were 100% right on that.
01:49:46.000Or really, anyone who lived through the Vietnam era or understands the Vietnam era, 100% right.
01:49:52.000Alright, Josh Latofsky says we should ask Elon to smuggle Starlinks into Cuba to let the people get the word out to bypass the government censorship.
01:50:00.000The one issue, currently Starlink are, they're sat locked.
01:50:04.000So each individual link can only connect to one satellite.
01:50:17.000So with mesh networks, you can set up your own communication sphere.
01:50:21.000One that the only way the government would be able to get into it is if they have access to your direct mesh network.
01:50:25.000And if you have encryption that they can't break and you can change that up enough, I have no background in this whatsoever from the military that, you know, that essentially they'd be able to get some comes up or like what they were doing in Iran.
01:50:37.000They were essentially setting up like, you know, how we have airdrop, you know, where it's this sort of like Bluetooth enabled communications.
01:50:43.000They were able to use, I forget what the app was, but it now allows you to create a text messaging within, you know, maybe like a hundred meters or so that you can get something across that's not going over any network.
01:50:55.000Alright, Jank Media says, Jack, are you aware of the Fat Leonard scandal from Comlogue Westpac?
01:51:00.000I was stationed there and worked with lots of people involved.
01:51:11.000But essentially, it comes down in the fast way to break it down is essentially that when a ship pulls into port somewhere, the question of which company so this this bleeds into that military industrial complex, but in terms of not only domestic companies, but also international companies, when when a US Navy ship has to pull in somewhere, right?
01:51:58.000And with Fat Leonard, he was this, I believe it was Malaysian?
01:52:01.000guy who was just bribing the hell out of admirals and captains and anyone up and down the chain in that procurement background that to make sure that it was always his people and his companies that got involved.
01:53:15.000They would refer to that and say, well, this is, you know, the the underlings, the sort of the permanent class, the administrative divisions of the U.S.
01:53:22.000government that originally were supposed to just be subservient to the president in the executive branch, but now have grown.
01:53:28.000And this is the very Wilsonian idea of an expansive executive where they have just become this own organic state.
01:53:35.000And this is this is the progressive, small progressive vision for how a state.
01:53:44.000And it's very similar to the British Civil Service.
01:53:48.000However, the overstate, that gets into all of these other facets of power, right?
01:53:54.000These other nodes of power that all seem to be working in concert with one another.
01:53:58.000So the fact is that it goes beyond just what we know as an official government agency or a government body, but all these other nodes of power that are able to then filter in and make these decisions.
01:54:09.000So when Lina Wen, who's You know, okay, she's the former president of Planned Parenthood, but she's not a government official in any capacity.
01:54:17.000She's not elected in any capacity to anything.
01:54:45.000First time cons stood up, called racist, Trump elected, deplorables.
01:54:49.000I could say it goes back to 2000, when you literally had this legal battle over the presidency and people were like, not my president and they were fighting.
01:54:57.000George, George W. Bush got in and they screamed he was Hitler and all this other stuff.
01:55:06.000The important thing to understand is, this all actually goes back to, everything can be traced back to one simple thing.
01:55:13.000Thomas Jefferson saying that the revolution needed the support of South Carolina and Georgia, thus he removed the anti-slavery statements from the Declaration of Independence.
01:55:23.000And then from there, you ended up with conflict between northern states and southern states, and then the parties became the Democrats and the Republicans, which ultimately formed basically... The Democratic Party existed, they were the Democratic-Republicans, but then the Civil War starts.
01:55:36.000We've basically never left the Civil War.
01:55:38.000If you really look at the policies, the conflict, the political divisions in the parties, it's like... It's all...
01:55:45.000This is not meant to be some profound statement.
01:55:50.000It's basically just everything is derivative of something.
01:56:09.000And now Hillary, remember, I don't have to move down to Little Rock, you know, you know, but that he was a because so he was seen as and and, you know, I don't people are going to get hit me hit me on the spot.
01:56:20.000He was more of a centrist president, particularly after the 1994 revolution, because Newt Gingrich basically made him be more of a centrist, balanced the budget, pushed for particularly conservative or so you would say social conservative issues of the day.
01:56:36.000Tipper Gore was pro-censorship, you know.
01:56:38.000She was censoring parental guidance stickers on all of your CD cases.
01:56:44.000And you knew if you got the prevental guidance one that that was the good one.
01:57:10.000But when Obama was in There was a moment where I realized he got co-opted, when he was like, Trans-Pacific Partnership, and other people didn't see it.
01:57:19.000And those people went on to become, now, this crazy- Wasn't there an interview, like, right when Obama won the Senate seat, he was asked if he was gonna run for president, and he was like, uh-huh, you know, maybe, or something like that.
01:57:29.000With 2000, there was a split in the country fairly evenly.
01:57:33.000W. Bush won, half the country said, this is BS, Bush got us involved in a bunch of wars, and then they were like, Obama is that revolution.
01:57:42.000And then Al Gore would have got us involved in the exact same thing.
01:58:20.000You know, the flags situation is, I mean, that's a direct blow, right?
01:58:26.000You can now go and when you see houses and they have an American flag, there is a greater chance that that will be a Republican or at least a veteran who's in that house, right?
01:58:38.000And then having other flags, other anthems, right?
01:58:41.000These are huge problems when it comes to national cohesion.
01:58:45.000It would not even have been considered when I was growing up in the 90s.
01:58:48.000It wouldn't have even been, it was beyond the pale to even conceive of such a thing.
01:58:52.000I'm not super familiar with, I've read a decent amount of Epoch, is it Epoch Times?
01:58:54.000Tim, any chance of getting Larry Elder or Tiffany Meyer on the show?
01:58:57.000Also, what would you rate the Epoch Times and NTD News credibility-wise?
01:59:01.000I'm not super familiar with... I've read a decent amount of Epoch...
01:59:18.000The articles I've read from them have been fairly good, but I know NewsGuard says they're fake news, but not that NewsGuard is the end-all be-all.
01:59:23.000The articles I've seen from them have actually been pretty decent.
01:59:25.000I've been reading—so when I lived in China all those years ago, it was about 15 years, and I would say, like, I want to learn more about the CCP, I want to learn more about—just from a historical standpoint, right?
01:59:37.000And I'd go to Chinese sources, and it would all be pro-CCP.
01:59:39.000And then I would say, all right, well, let me let me read some Western newspapers and see what they're talking about.
02:00:26.000After the Black Plague, when most of the population got wiped out, the knowledge of the technology they had remained, and they were able to then implement that, and then they flourished, and there was a renaissance and things like that.
02:00:35.000Although the Roman, when the empire fell apart, a lot of that technology was lost.
02:00:40.000A lot of, like, how to build aqueducts and sewage and all that.
02:00:45.000I was actually, I was at this, uh, uh, this sort of like off the book summit recently with, um, some pretty high level people.
02:00:52.000And this one guy, um, he said, you know, looking at things the way I look at things is it's, it's kind of interesting where it seems like all the people who are in power now, like, It's like they've been handed the keys, but not the instruction manual.
02:01:09.000And the instruction or the memo like just put like each generation is supposed to write a memo to the next generation or that sort of history of like presidents writing letters to their successors or in like National Treasure.
02:02:05.000I wanted to do something, and I think we will, something akin to, like, real conversations.
02:02:09.000The goal is to interview regular people out in these different cities, not to change their minds or ours, but to literally be like, what do you think about these things?
02:02:17.000And then just show, like, find someone who's conservative, like, left, right, and independent, and then just have them, like, generally talk and do a podcast where it's like, so how do you feel about this?
02:02:28.000And just kind of keep it real, keep it raw.
02:02:30.000I'd love to do that, but maybe, you know, and then at the end I'm like, okay, but did you realize that the one that you picked wasn't my pillow?
02:03:04.000And then it back then it was like, Hey, I'm talking to a guy in Norway, I'm talking to a guy in Jamaica, you know, and be able to and that idea of you can be able to get a hold of him driving around, you know, truckers and stuff like that.
02:03:17.000But the idea of being able to, like, he instilled in me that the importance of being able to have communications and have that network that, and radio is just out there, right?
02:03:26.000It's not something that anyone can, unless you jam it, right?
02:03:29.000If you have state, you'd need state power to be able to do something like that.
02:03:34.000But for the most part, and you can go do another channel, but you have to get everyone on that channel to find it.
02:03:39.000But it's that idea of, you know, any societal collapse type situation, that these are the types of communication.
02:05:12.000And when another account we had tried to test upload similar content, it was also removed.
02:05:18.000Yeah, and other content on the site was available I think it was I think because I tweeted about it and it created a stink and people started saying woo And you know some people were like we're gonna write about it.
02:05:26.000We'll see what happens and all of a sudden it comes back They said what they said they said woo Anyway, anyway, follow me at Timcast.
02:05:38.000People are like, why are you on TikTok?
02:05:40.000Because we go where the culture war is happening.
02:05:42.000It's like, if there's a culture war happening, we'll send the message.
02:05:45.000It's kind of interesting when people are like, yeah, but, you know, TikTok is Chinese, like, why would you, or it's China, like, why would you want to go?
02:05:52.000On that platform, I'm like, If we have people in China who are pro-freedom or Hong Kong, don't we want to send them messages and let them know what's happening?
02:05:59.000Guess who's listening to you on Google and iTunes and everything else?
02:06:02.000It's like, okay, the CIA gets you here, MSS gets you there.
02:06:05.000Well, we're just trying to make sure that we're not going to be like, I refuse to engage in this area because it's controlled by this group.
02:06:11.000Well, no, let's flood the zone with Smack talking the Chinese Communist Party.
02:06:59.000So I think I'm probably going to finish it in the morning.
02:07:01.000But it has to do with the Department of Justice and inner city crime and what they are teaching people from the highest levels of the DOJ and the White House about this.
