Ted Cruz is taking a vacation, and the media is covering it as if it's nothing more than a normal vacation, but it's actually quite the opposite. Dan Turner and Luke Rudkowski are here to talk about it, and debunk some ridiculous memes.
00:00:00.000It seems like all hell is breaking loose in Texas.
00:00:29.000but also in other parts of the country.
00:00:31.000There is a winter storm slamming basically the entirety of the nation, and Texas is getting the worst of it.
00:00:37.000Well, I shouldn't say maybe the worst of it, but Texas is underprepared for this.
00:00:43.000And we're seeing now this severe winter weather hitting Texas.
00:00:45.000A lot of people don't know the basic things that people in the Midwest know.
00:00:48.000For instance, if you're experiencing freezing temperatures and you don't have heat, you need to turn your water on a little bit so that it stops the pipes from freezing and then bursting from the expansion.
00:00:58.000This is resulting in water mains bursting.
00:01:01.000It's resulting in, surprisingly, the power outages.
00:01:13.000But I guess many of these people haven't lived in places that are this cold.
00:01:16.000Texas wasn't prepared for this and things are getting bad.
00:01:19.000These food shortages, however, are very, very serious.
00:01:22.000And so there's a lot we have to talk about in that regard.
00:01:24.000But for some reason, I guess the only thing that the mainstream media or the corporate press actually cares about is that Ted Cruz was taking a vacation.
00:01:35.000Ted Cruz, you know, he's a federal-level representative.
00:01:38.000He represents the state of Texas to the federal government.
00:01:40.000I don't know what he would be doing right now, you know, on a local level, but as a person, he's still a leader and he could do better.
00:01:47.000Ultimately, I think the bigger issue with Ted Cruz is that he just bent the knee and gave in to the outrage mob instead of just calling out someone like Cuomo and saying, shut up, I'm taking a vacation.
00:01:56.000So we'll talk about this, but I think the big issue we're dealing with right now, the bigger story throughout all of this, A lot of people are talking about energy.
00:02:04.000We've heard from Tucker Carlson, the renewables basically caused a large problem for Texas because they may be renewable, but they're unreliable.
00:02:12.000And Texas wasn't prepared to deal with this, you know, essentially energy costs are skyrocketing.
00:02:18.000The lines are freezing, but many on the left are saying it has nothing to do with wind.
00:02:22.000It was the gas lines themselves freezing.
00:02:24.000And I just got to tell you this, ultimately, Texas was just not prepared for this.
00:02:28.000But we've got with us Dan Turner, who is a... How would you describe yourself?
00:02:41.000I started an organization, so technically I'm the founder of an organization called Power the Future, which is an advocacy group for American energy workers.
00:02:48.000But I'm an energy expert, I'm not going to lie.
00:02:50.000I don't think I'm a braggadocious person, although earlier I said how good I look for my age, so I guess I'm wrong, but energy is my niche.
00:04:01.000I also, as a side note, there's another big story I definitely want to talk about.
00:04:06.000So I tweeted about the story from Time Magazine, the Shadow campaign, you know, whatever.
00:04:11.000And I was being a little snarky and I said, they didn't say they rigged the election, they fortified it by changing the laws, blah blah blah.
00:04:17.000And there's this thing on Twitter called Birdwatch, where regular users are prompted to fact-check the tweet.
00:04:24.000I think out of all of them, there was only one that said it was potentially misleading.
00:05:01.000I'm very excited to talk about maybe even carbon recapture technology, the future of reusing the carbon dioxide, turning it into graphene, depositing onto metals and things like that.
00:05:19.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com and become a member in order to get exclusive podcast segments and even full episodes.
00:05:27.000Just the other day, we sat down for an hour with James O'Keefe and we really just went at the mainstream media.
00:05:40.000But the site really is there because in the event that we get Purged or nuked or banned or whatever which is entirely possible This is where you will find us, but don't forget like share subscribe hit that notification bell and let's read the first story Texas is running out of food as weather crisis disrupts supply chain Texans running low on food are finding empty grocery store shelves Food pantries are running out of supplies and the freeze has wiped out substantial portions of the state's citrus and vegetable crops This is from Texas Tribune.
00:06:11.000They say The state's week of weather hell started with a 133-car pileup outside of Fort Worth.
00:06:17.000A winter storm unlike any Texas has ever seen quickly followed, and seven days later millions are without power and reliable water.
00:06:24.000They go on to mention, here's a quote.
00:06:27.000It was out of, uh, someone, uh, some are sorting, storing their remaining rations and coolers outside, and trips to the grocery store often do little to replenish pantries, saying, quote, it was out of meat, eggs, and almost all the milk before I left.
00:06:39.000Crystal Porter, an Austin resident, said about her local Target, which she visited Monday, lines were wrapped around the store when we arrived.
00:06:46.000Shelves were almost fully cleared for potatoes, meat, eggs, and some dairy.
00:06:50.000Two days later, one of Porter's neighbors went to that same Target, and the store was completely out of food, with no sign of additional shipments arriving or employees restocking shelves.
00:07:01.000Now, this is where emergencies get scary.
00:07:03.000You know, we've had stories like this in the past.
00:07:05.000There was one story about an algal bloom in Ohio, I think it was, and within an hour of the news breaking, all bottled water was gone.
00:07:14.000Now the difference here with Texas is that, I mean, this has been going on for what, almost a week now?
00:07:18.000Where the power's gone out, millions are without power, people are freezing, and now people don't have food.
00:07:23.000So I guess, I'm curious, Dan, because, you know, you're the energy guy.
00:07:28.000If you wanna just, let's just have a conversation.
00:08:05.000But people who are listening to us right now, people who are watching us right now, electricity from the very first thing you did this morning.
00:08:30.000It's not the same kind of energy we're talking about when we're talking about fuels for vehicles, but cold weather is essentially energy levels going down.
00:08:45.000But it was ultimately, in a lot of ways, there was governmental failure here.
00:08:49.000I mean, they didn't prepare properly for how to deal with winter weather.
00:08:53.000And there are some jurisdictions bordering Texas where you can actually see, you know, it's in Arkansas, I think, they have this image where you can see the roads are plowed.
00:09:02.000And then in Texas, it's just snow all over the streets.
00:09:04.000Yeah, and that's the problem of government, right?
00:10:42.000And this is in part why a lot of trucks are not able to go to the supermarket.
00:10:47.000You have to understand, major cities are extremely vulnerable because if the roads shut down, your food's not going to be getting to you, to your community, especially in very congested areas.
00:11:00.000Arkansas is used to dealing with this, and this is another reason why, again, as I've been saying, you need to be personally responsible for yourself more than ever.
00:11:09.000I've been selling those food buckets for years now, And people are like, where are you doing?
00:11:12.000I'm like, no, you don't understand how vulnerable everything is in our society and how in a matter of seconds everything could be taken away and you're only responsible for yourself.
00:11:24.000And what annoys me about our discourse is that then when we do have an election, we will hem and haw as to whether or not, as governor, will you allow this six-year-old girl to identify as a boy and play gymnastics?
00:11:48.000But this is what government should be doing.
00:11:50.000And instead we have these whole sessions about these little minute... And I don't mean to minimize the trauma of that six-year-old kid, but I'm saying that is not the role of government.
00:11:59.000If government did its darn job, But it doesn't.
00:12:03.000What Texas needed to do was, I don't know, buy salt, plows, issue notices to residents saying, in the event of winter weather, make sure you turn your water on.
00:12:13.000I can't believe all of these videos I've seen.
00:12:42.000So, I saw a bunch of posts from conservatives saying that wind turbines froze, and this is the reason that the power essentially went out in Texas.
00:12:52.000Then I saw people on the left saying, wind turbines operate in Antarctica, and the real problem was the gas lines.
00:13:00.000We need a Green New Deal, and this proves it.
00:13:02.000I think the craziest thing was Patrick Moore, who is one of the founders of Greenpeace.
00:13:40.000For some reason, though, these people just believe these things without doing any fact-checking, but I want to pull up something that I'm absolutely thrilled to show all of you.
00:13:47.000Over on Reddit's r slash facepalm, there's a post that is one of the most upvoted Reddit posts on the page, and it says, Sciense, S-I-E-N-S-E, making fun of Tucker Carlson, I suppose.
00:14:25.000This image, it appears on r slash facepalm.
00:14:29.000So, I don't know if they're self-aware, and the facepalm is actually that the Antarctica thing is fake, or that we're supposed to make fun of Tucker Carlson.
00:14:40.000I'm assuming they're making fun of Tucker Carlson by pointing out, there's actually wind turbines in Antarctica!
00:15:36.000So I don't know how big these penguins are, man, but this would mean this penguin's like 20 feet tall.
00:15:40.000But then there's a guy in the background, too, who, and this is the best part, the guy is standing next to penguins, and these penguins are half as tall as he is.
00:15:50.000So these are like two and a half, three foot tall penguins.
00:15:52.000Maybe, maybe, look, I'm not a penguin scientist, okay?
00:16:40.000Now, I did read a lot of what Tucker said, and I think he should have been more clear about what was causing the failure, but the point he was making is that these renewable energies are unreliable, and he's correct.
00:16:54.000I actually made a whole segment a couple years ago advocating for the Green New Deal.
00:16:59.000That was until AOC put out her critical race theory-laden garbage, which had nothing to do with the environment, for the most part.
00:17:04.000And then I was like, okay, that I don't support.
00:17:07.000But the idea of investing in new technologies, fusion, nuclear, wind, solar, that to me is a good thing if we're going to do it.
00:17:56.000Maybe going back to the earlier conversation we were having, if you're the governor and you say, alright, this storm happens every 10 years.
00:18:01.000Do I invest in X amount of dollars on snow plows for something that happens that I may not even be governor when it happens?
00:18:08.000That's another question of government, right?
00:19:18.000And not only had they frozen, Really what had happened is that those Texans who have gas for heat, which is a small percentage, about 65% of Texans use electricity.
00:19:28.000And again, if you're building a house, why am I going to invest in gas heat?
00:19:31.000Because odds are I could go the whole winter and not use it once.
00:21:00.000So, I think it's an interesting conversation.
00:21:03.000I think they should have been prepared as a government, but it's also interesting to see, as soon as wind started to go down, the strain on the system became too much for the system to bear.
00:21:12.000When you say natural gas, you're talking about methane.
00:21:14.000Which I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's CH4, carbon, four hydrogens.
00:21:18.000So when you say that natural gas is not methane, are you saying it is?
00:21:22.000Um, natural... When they say natural gas, that's just a phrase for methane, as far as I know.
00:23:02.000I think fusion is probably better investment.
00:23:05.000If we want to do green energy, just dump all that money into fusion research.
00:23:09.000We could also build nuclear power plants.
00:23:11.000The funny thing though is, we recently had some solar people come over here and were like, we want solar power.
00:23:16.000We want to make sure that in the event there's some kind of emergency.
00:23:19.000And so I'm talking to the solar guys and I said, you know, and it's a good idea to like, you know, get this because it's going to be cheaper in the long run, right?
00:23:25.000And he was like, I mean, after 20 years?
00:23:53.000In terms of efficiency, delivering power in the long run, it's not something everyone's probably going to want or be able to do.
00:23:59.000How would you respond to our Lord and Savior Bill Gates, who knows everything and does nothing wrong, when he says, The joy about the climate change argument is that everything is proof of climate change.
00:24:09.000Whether it's hot or cold, it's climate change.
00:24:10.000This is the statement that he came out with today.
00:24:12.000And he also blamed this historic winter storm on climate change caused by humans.
00:24:30.000If you just look at, I mean, I do this research for a living and it's not impossible to find
00:24:36.000The Department of Energy has every electric grid, every hour, their electric mix.
00:24:41.000You can go online and look at it right now, and if you just compare, which is what I did for the latest op-ed I wrote about it, which just came out a couple hours ago, if you compare Sunday at 8 o'clock to Monday at 8 o'clock, You can just see the electric mix, and I have photos of it.
00:24:57.000I don't know if you can throw them up online somehow.
00:25:00.000You can just compare the mix of electricity of what nuclear is producing now, what was it producing then, what coal is producing, what natural gas is producing, and what wind is producing.
00:25:11.000Wind on Sunday was producing 8,000, roughly 8,000 megawatts of electricity.
00:25:58.000And so when you go off of renewables because they're not working and you have to then jack up coal, you have to pump in more natural gas, you have these huge fluctuations.
00:26:19.000When they cannot maintain their grid, they have to burn coal like mad, and they have to buy it fast, and they have to buy natural gas, and they have to buy it from Vladimir Putin, and that's the price of the market.
00:27:26.000Maybe part of it inflation, but that is a huge drop for the number one oil and gas producer in the country.
00:27:32.000Why can't the people of Texas say, well, wait a second, what are we getting for going renewable?
00:27:37.000And who, and someone, and this is where I get a little crazy on this stuff, someone is making a boatload of money building all these windmills.
00:27:45.000And I would like to know who's getting rich off it, because someone is.
00:27:48.000I do think it's funny that we call them windmills.
00:29:03.000But I mean, that's to say that we're just going to be there without laying out the plan and explaining all the numbers, I think is so where.
00:29:09.000So a lot of people need to people need to understand how we we create electrical current.
00:29:15.000My understanding is we have these turbines.
00:29:17.000They need to keep spinning to keep the current running, right, to keep to keep the current existing, I suppose.
00:29:23.000So all day and night, What we basically do is we take coal, set it on fire, it creates water pressure, and the water pressure then spins a turbine.
00:29:33.000As long as that turbine is spinning, we're generating an electrical current that people can use, right?
00:29:52.000I watched this really amazing educational mini-ish, like short film on energy return and energy invested.
00:29:58.000And they were talking about why we love renewable energy, why we're so excited for them, and why they are nowhere near ready for implementation.
00:30:07.000And the main issue is, when the wind turbine stops spinning for any reason, the current stops as well.
00:30:13.000And so it's amazing this idea that we can set up a bunch of turbines all over the place, but you would have to create a ridiculous amount of them in order to make sure you're always generating enough current to sustain life as it currently exists.
00:30:25.000The problem is, it takes so much petroleum energy to make the wind turbines, it makes no sense.
00:30:32.000Until we get to the point where we can generate more efficiently, and store that energy.
00:30:38.000These renewables that we know and love, and are excited about, do not have a high enough energy return on energy invested.
00:30:45.000They talk about, it's really fascinating, why fracking became profitable.
00:30:49.000And it was because the cost Well, fossil fuels had become so expensive, because it was getting harder and harder to actually find oil, that all of a sudden it became economically feasible to start fracking, a very expensive and dangerous process which nets fossil fuels.
00:31:04.000But when you look at the energy returned from the energy you invest, these green energies just don't cut it, except Nuclear energy.
00:31:14.000My understanding is it's the highest return?
00:32:01.000The newer technologies, I guess there's a lot of excitement around thorium salt reactors.
00:32:05.000I don't know a whole lot about it, so I'm not going to get too much into it.
00:32:08.000But Fukushima was a major natural disaster.
00:32:11.000So we can now look at that situation and say, what can we do better to make sure this doesn't happen?
00:32:15.000I think we can pour gold in the corium because right now, as far as I know about the nuclear core, it's circulating heat, but because it can't release its heat, it begins to get so hot that it melts down and then turns into liquid.
00:32:28.000But if we can somehow put a superconductor into the corium and allow it, that would allow it to release its heat, then it wouldn't melt.
00:32:35.000So if you poured gold into it, which is a superconductor, I would imagine then it would release its heat, it would harden, and then you could melt it, re-extract the gold.
00:32:43.000Thorium salt reactors are liquid, so you don't have to worry about that.
00:33:29.000The biggest problem with electric vehicles is the size of the battery proportionate to the size of the car.
00:33:35.000The battery lasts only about 10 to 12 years, and it's extremely heavy, which is why there are no electric airplanes, and there won't be for any time soon.
00:34:15.000And it still has an engine on it, though.
00:34:17.000But there was a university where they actually created a fully human-powered flying machine.
00:34:21.000It was as big as this airplane hanger, and the guy's pedaling like crazy, and he gets a few feet off the ground, and then he starts coming back down because, you know, he gets super tired.
00:34:33.000What would you call it if someone called for, if there was a, let's say there was a high-profile public figure who came out and said, I will not wait, I demand that an action be taken which will result in the death of hundreds of millions of people.
00:34:49.000What would, what do you call it when someone, when someone tries to enact a plan that would kill hundreds of millions of people?
00:35:49.000If we stop using oil, Our freight, the freight lines, our trains, the food delivery systems, transporting of emergency medicines, all of this just stops and immediately overnight you're gonna see riots in the street from starving people.
00:36:05.000You remember what happened in Paris, in France, when Emmanuel Macron was like, We're going to put a tax on petrol, you know, because we're going green or whatever.
00:36:17.000And then would they get like a year and a half of people rioting?
00:36:20.000Because all of a sudden their gas bill was too high.
00:36:22.000Because they were trying to tax them to go green.
00:36:32.000So when the government comes in and says, we're not just sacrificing your quality of life, we're restricting your ability to feed your family while we fly on private jets.
00:36:41.000Yeah, you bring up a very important point because when you see the government's response to the climate crisis, it usually means hurting the average person, the middle class person, the low class working person.
00:36:53.000They're the ones that are going to be paying for it as they literally flying around in their private jets and don't give a Darn.
00:36:59.000And sometimes even profit off of this new idea or innovation that's a carbon tax, a tax on your breath, a tax on your CO2.
00:37:09.000And I'm like, how more ridiculous could they get?
00:37:11.000I could just see them sitting around in the table being like, we're just going to tax them for breathing this time.
00:37:34.000I want to finish this because, you know, just recently I made my RV off the grid.
00:37:41.000I installed a lot of solar panels and I learned it doesn't matter how many solar panels you have if you don't have batteries in them that could actually save the power.
00:37:50.000And when you're talking about the battery technology, it's not there.
00:37:53.000And I was like, wait, how many pounds do these things weigh?
00:37:57.000And I was like, you have to factor in weight, especially if you're in an RV, and the battery technology, you know, you would think you would spend some innovation and some money and some investment and some technology looking into making that better, but it's not there yet.
00:38:10.000Ian, educate Luke on new battery technology.
00:38:13.000Well, I was just reading about graphene batteries.
00:38:19.000I was actually just reading about condensing graphene, or carbon dioxide, into graphene.
00:38:25.000And what you do is, let me, I'll read this, this is from digidesignnews.com, and the title is Researchers Develop Graphene from Carbon Dioxide.
00:38:36.000It says that the project endeavors to synthesize graphene, specifically mimicking photosynthesis by turning carbon dioxide and oxygen, metal-based enzyme ribulose, biphosphate, carboxylase, oxygenase, And, um, you can find the carbon dioxide.
00:39:23.000I recently bought, I think I bought like five graphene composite batteries.
00:39:28.000They use lithium ion technology, but there's like a lattice of graphene through it, which allows it to charge, like the whole thing, it's two and a half cell phone charges worth of power, charge up in about 10 to 15 minutes.
00:39:39.000So normally you plug your phone and it takes 20-30 minutes.
00:39:42.000Now it's half the time or even faster.
00:39:58.000I mean, if you get a punctured battery and it blows up on a phone, that's why they tell you on planes, you can't bring lithium-ion batteries onto planes.
00:40:05.000And they're brutal for the environment, and lithium-ion batteries are primarily made of bauxite, and bauxite is mined, 90% of it, in the Congo by slave children.
00:40:28.000These are just the real conversations we have to have about going green.
00:40:31.000And also China having these rare earth minerals that they have a monopoly on, that they're also just yesterday threatened the United States about setting up an emporium where they won't be sending it to the United States.
00:40:41.000But you know, they're not really rare.
00:40:44.000They're called rare earths, but it's just that nobody is mining them properly.
00:40:59.000Can we just get some of these environmental leftists to admit we live in a neo-feudalist system?
00:41:06.000Where people in Europe and the United States get to live off of the slave labor of the serfs in the Congo, mining the bauxite, and then in China, in the rare earths.
00:41:14.000One of my most disliked people alive right now is a guy named Tom Steyer, who's a billionaire, big environmental cause funder.
00:41:24.000He vehemently opposes coal in America, goes out of his way to try to shut down coal mines in America, does not want any more coal.
00:41:30.000He made billions of dollars off of investments in coal in Indonesia and China.
00:41:34.000So he'll be damned if a guy in West Virginia is gonna mine for coal, but a nine-year-old girl in Western China?
00:42:00.000And trust me, if I had married a rich heiress, I, too, would not sit in the middle seat between, like, the nursing mom and the girthy millennial.
00:42:10.000Like, I would much rather be on a private jet flying to Iceland.
00:42:14.000Yeah, I wouldn't be like Ted Cruz trying to get myself bumped up to first class, which he unsuccessfully did.
00:43:50.000This stuff takes the spent nuclear rods from nuclear power plants, which normally we have to store in, like, boxes that are just... We bury them.
00:44:22.000We've already seen the giant lizard breathing radioactive fire and blowing up buildings, and now people are scared that they're gonna, you know, grow a third eye or whatever, and they think nuclear energy is the apocalypse.
00:44:48.000It was Cold War and the Soviets were rushing full speed.
00:44:51.000They had a system where people would like When you live in under under under authoritarianism, you just say whatever you need to say to survive And so when they were having more and more problems that people are like, yeah, everything's fine.
00:45:02.000Everything's fine And that's what they kept doing And then it got really bad, the whole thing went up, and there's a lot of problems there.
00:45:13.000All of the nuclear energy disasters we've seen so far, or all of the oil spills, deep water horizon, the oil slicks and the damage that it's caused, the dead zones it creates in the oceans.
00:45:23.000Look, I think fossil fuels are important, and I think the challenge right now is that we have 7.8 billion people.
00:45:30.000We're trying to make sure they don't die because we want them to live, but while recognizing it takes a lot of energy to make sure these people are getting food, they're getting heat.
00:45:38.000Some people don't have food or heat, and we actually try to subsidize that to help them because we don't want people to die.
00:45:45.000But the problem now is you've got people saying, curtail the use of our most efficient form of energy so far.
00:45:51.000Okay, well then all these people are going to die.
00:46:05.000We have to live in the reality, and the reality is everything has its drawbacks, but for the price point, for the efficiency, and for the quality of life we demand, and this is my biggest argument when it comes to the fossil fuel industry and getting rid of it, is that is where they want to sacrifice.
00:46:42.000Bill Gates also bought the most amount of farmland than anyone else in the United States, specifically because he wants everyone to eat fake Meat.
00:47:26.000Yeah, yeah, and the other thing too is, I see this meme, it's like, I will not live in the pot, I will not eat the bugs, and I'm kind of like, why is it bad to eat bugs?
00:47:33.000Like, look, there's, what is it, like 85% of the planet eats bugs.
00:47:36.000You don't have to eat bugs if you don't want to.
00:47:38.000I think it's fair if you say, I don't want to eat bugs, that's cool.
00:47:40.000I don't eat bugs, but I'm also kind of like, food's food.
00:48:08.000There's a lot of problems surrounding this, especially genetically modified food, which Bill Gates has extensive ties to, especially to corporations like Monsanto that have a horrendous human rights record, that have a horrendous record of actively, knowingly hurting people and still doing it for profit.
00:48:24.000I just think the idea that the second or third richest person in the world, whatever he is today, he's second or third, And a Vanderbilt heir sat down together and they talked about the sacrifices we have to make.
00:48:36.000A millionaire and a billionaire deciding what we should not live with.
00:48:59.000A lot of people are wondering if they're doing it on purpose, and I'm like, listen, we don't need to ask whether they're doing it on purpose.
00:49:04.000What they're doing is, in effect, creating the Great Reset they've talked about.
00:49:19.000Now, that being said, Part of me, you know, because we had Jack Murphy on the show, and I mentioned they want people to live kind of, you know, more in the country and more back to nature, like chopping, rolling up their sleeves and chopping their own lumber, and Jack was like, what's wrong with that?
00:49:35.000So there's a part of this where it's like, listen, I believe in freedom.
00:49:38.000If you wanna eat your burger with ketchup schlopped all over it or whatever you like on your burger, mayo, pickles, lettuce, you know, cheese or whatever, you go ahead and do it.
00:49:46.000I, however, think there's a lot to be gained from regular people who are addicted to this system.
00:49:53.000Getting out, learning how to work, going to the woods, actually learning how to raise chickens, raise meat, pig, cow, whatever, and just being responsible for themselves for once in their lives.
00:50:06.000Too many Americans are gluttonous, living in big cities, demanding the government do the work or take the labor from other people to pay for them.
00:51:38.000And I have been thinking a lot about how I do feel like a better human being, because I have to make fence posts, and I have to mend things, and I get dirty, and I have to play with chicken feces, and it's gross, and it's work, and it's labor, and it's freezing cold, and you have a hangover, and you smoke too much the night before, and your lungs are killing you, but the animals need to eat, and they're in the barn, and they are hungry, and it does make you a better person.
00:52:14.000So when I lived in Miami, we had chickens, and I'd go out in the morning, I'd grab a couple of the eggs, bring them back in, and I would bake with that.
00:53:08.000It smells a little bit, but I learned a lot of really interesting things about nature and how the world works that you would never understand in a big city.
00:53:16.000And you know what we have is a couple of, sorry to interrupt you, we have all heritage breeds, which you talked a couple of times about.
00:53:23.000GMOs right there are these breeds that that are dying and we're trying to we're doing our little part to save them because we have cross bred them so many times for meat for for large-breasted chicken for fattier pigs so we have all heritage breeds and they're not as pretty they're maybe not as tasty they're not as but they're but they're authentic and they're real and they're Yeah, the genetic splicing and the genetic kind of larger kind of organizations that are putting together these wild experiments are absolutely mind-boggling and scary to say the least.
00:54:01.000My friend accidentally became a pig farmer.
00:54:04.000Because the government said, kill all the pigs, right?
00:54:06.000When COVID hit, they were like, well, you know, rather be safe than sorry, kill all of them.
00:54:10.000He went to a local farm, picked them up illegally, and then brought them to his farm.
00:54:15.000And then we learned like, oh yeah, these are, you know, specifically bred pigs just to get fat.
00:54:21.000They're not to run around, they're not to live, they're just going to be sitting here and eating, and that's it.
00:54:25.000Here's the question I have for your average rural living conservative.
00:54:29.000Wouldn't you like for just once in their lives, these urban liberals, to understand why you need a weapon, why you need a gun, when you're out in the middle of nowhere and you've got some animals and you're worried about feral hogs, or you're worried about coyotes, and you've got to protect those you care about, not just your animals, but your family?
00:54:45.000Wouldn't you want them to experience for once in their life why they have to chop lumber Why they have to go out and make sure they get enough wood for the stove because you're not going to have necessarily the propane delivery in time if the roads are slicked up.
00:54:57.000Wouldn't you just want them to experience hard work?
00:55:00.000The problem is, while I think it sounds good teaching people responsibility, getting them out to go, you know, actually learn how to survive and be responsible for themselves, the people who are orchestrating these big changes, the people who are calling for these changes, Don't want people to actually be free and independent.
00:56:14.000And I take pictures and I tell them, you know, we're going to kick them out.
00:56:17.000You're going to tell their boss on them.
00:56:19.000But this all goes back to, I mean, it's just a great conversation, but I started my organization exactly for what you were talking about, that these urban elites, these people who were three generations removed from, oh, maybe my grandfather was a coal miner, or my great-grandfather, but now I am a true urbanite.
00:57:05.000he will take away the only source of income they have and that is shameful.
00:57:09.000Bloomberg is the guy who said to tax the poor because they're too stupid to spend their own money properly.
00:57:15.000And in that same speech, which was with Christine Lagarde at some, you know, Bilderberg conference, he said, you know, the coal miners will find other things for them to do.
00:57:26.000And I thought, we will find other things for them to do.
00:58:30.000And when you ask these politicians, what are you going to do?
00:58:32.000They're like, I will find the best minds that will figure out how to do it.
00:58:37.000But another thing we really need to discuss that that's not really talked about a lot, especially in American mainstream media, is the waste, is the pollution, is the utter crap that's being spewed by third world countries, countries like China, that pollute on massive levels, and there's no regulations, there's no Michael Bloomberg flying over there telling them what to do.
00:58:58.00095% of the plastics in the ocean come from Southeast Asia.
00:59:01.00070% of it comes specifically from China.
01:00:14.000A regular person looks into it, researches it and says, well, what is banning straws going to do?
01:00:19.000Did you ever see the video of the straw up the turtle's nose?
01:00:22.000And these people find this turtle swimming in the water, and they pull it out, and it's stuck.
01:00:25.000So they take pliers, and they go in, and they start to try and pull it out of the turtle, and it starts bleeding, and the turtle's screaming in pain.
01:01:45.000There was a big controversy between them and Canada recently as well, and a lot of people found out when they were taking the plastic to allegedly recycle it, and were being paid to recycle it, what they were doing?
01:01:55.000They were throwing it in the water, and that's why we have this huge Island made of plastic that specifically came from China.
01:02:03.000They're not only polluting and throwing a lot of waste in the water.
01:02:06.000They're also expanding their weather modification program, which of course they actively used.
01:02:16.000They used it during their Olympics, but they're now making sure that they're going to be able to manipulate the environment to their own personal benefit, which is going to hurt a lot of countries surrounding them as well.
01:02:28.000We saw a lot of tragic stories coming out of China ... specifically with them trying to stop rain during the ... Olympics causing massive flooding in other areas they're ... now expanding this to huge levels that we don't even know ... about don't even comprehend and the devastating effects ... from this will be far bigger than even some pollution ... according to some experts.
01:02:46.000I think there's just cultural differences, though, between us.
01:03:07.000And China has so many vulnerabilities that if we were serious about freedom and the livelihood of our fellow mankind, we could cripple China.
01:03:18.000They need to import 12 million barrels a day of oil.
01:03:20.000You don't want to be racist there, buddy.
01:04:54.000Yeah, and you see bluebirds, and you see different flowers, and you hear different sounds.
01:04:59.000And if people got away from these cities, Rolled up their sleeves, did a little bit of hard work, their lives would improve, and it would cut off the supply line to these corrupt companies like Disney praising the paramilitaries in Xinjiang.
01:05:15.000It would cut off NBA and these other companies.
01:05:17.000It's like, I'm reminded of that Simpsons episode, Just Don't Look.
01:05:20.000You know, the trios of horror when the advertisements come to life, just don't look.
01:05:24.000I gotta tell you, man, if I had a choice between watching the Super Bowl and watching a chicken walk around, I'd pick the chicken.
01:05:33.000I caught myself staring out the window this morning at the snow falling for like 10 minutes.
01:05:39.000I was just standing there looking outside and it was like Betsy was sitting next to me, the cat, and it was like she was watching outside too.
01:06:32.000I love being able to go out and then COVID happened.
01:06:35.000And then I'm like, this is an absolute police state tyrannical Hell hole.
01:06:40.000That's the epitome of the worst elements of communism mixed in with Big Brother literally stomping you in the face with its boot every single chance and opportunity that they get.
01:06:50.000There's New York City inspection officers literally running around with binoculars trying to look through your windows to make sure that you're not socially distancing enough.
01:06:59.000There's people rummaging through your trash, even before COVID, making sure you recycled correctly.
01:07:04.000Meanwhile, the whole recycling whole agenda is a scam, anyway.
01:07:08.000How about, you know, Jack Murphy telling us that he was, like, lifting weights in his front yard with his kids, and the neighbors called the cops on him?
01:07:41.000But now later in his life, he's an insurance adjuster or something and it's like...
01:07:44.000The meme was me at work contemplating my worthless, my pointless existence or whatever, my purposeless existence.
01:07:49.000And I'm like, bro, your life is only purposeless because you are living in a concrete block stacked on top of other concrete blocks in a city that smells like sour milk.
01:07:58.000And if you go out and get away from this, not only, here's the thing, here's the pitch to the environmentalists.
01:09:28.000If you have enough money if you're in the club in the cities
01:09:31.000We can walk outside right now no masks on and no one cares In fact, you can walk outside here shoot a gun. Nobody
01:09:37.000cares You live in the middle of nowhere you get more space and I
01:09:39.000have to i've talked to my friends about this When I said I was leaving new york city, they're like, why
01:09:43.000would you leave new york? And I said listen The closer you are jammed to other people your personal
01:09:48.000Bubble of your like your freedom gets compressed compressed You can't even play music in your New York apartment because you've got four neighbors complaining with a loud noise.
01:09:58.000You move out to the suburbs, now you can play music in your house and your neighbors mostly don't care, but six in the morning you want to go outside and maybe target shoot or something?
01:11:28.000They're not even asking people to come back.
01:11:30.000And that's why a major swap of real estate in New York City is going to be redesigned to be apartment buildings rather than office buildings.
01:11:38.000Who's going to live there when there's no jobs?
01:11:40.000Oh, well, it's funny because de Blasio's like we're gonna buy up these old buildings now They've been like you shut you destroyed the city.
01:11:59.000I mean always consider New York home You get this little swagger when and I my accent comes back when I go back to Queens when I order pizza, you know but there is a there is a Deep anger in that city.
01:12:33.000High stress, high blood pressure, and that leads to a lot of the stress that people feel in cities.
01:12:38.000A couple of months after the start of the pandemic, when the lockdowns were in full swing, I went out to the middle of nowhere in this rural area, and I was at a small little restaurant, and somebody noticed me, and they were like, are you Tim Pool?
01:13:02.000Like we were just hanging out, having a beer the other day and like wondering what it must be like in these cities where your lives are destroyed.
01:13:07.000And he's like, for us, nothing changed at all.
01:13:10.000The only difference was now they want you to wear a mask, I guess.
01:13:13.000But for the most part, nothing else changed.
01:14:22.000People talk about they need purpose in their lives.
01:14:26.000Purpose doesn't need to be you becoming the king and taking over and leading your civilization to conquest.
01:14:32.000It could be you living for someone other than yourself.
01:14:36.000And when you have animals to take care of that also help sustain you, chickens laying eggs for instance, or if you're raising cattle for meat or something, You have to take care of them because they're ultimately going to take care of you.
01:15:09.000There are people who live in New York who write articles about Brad Pitt and they make $50,000 a year and complain and they hate their lives and they're like, we need a union because I don't get paid enough!
01:15:24.000Dude, you realize that, like, there are people who build things and do back-breaking manual labor, making 15 bucks an hour, and you're getting double or triple what they get paid to write garbage articles?
01:15:35.000These people have the cushiest, do-nothing jobs on the planet.
01:16:25.000All of a sudden now, they start writing articles that we're desperately trying to find anything to be.
01:16:32.000They're getting paid tens of thousands of dollars to write about this garbage.
01:16:37.000Meanwhile, you got some dude who's like in Montana cattle ranching because he's trying to make sure people in his community have enough food and he has no idea what you're talking about.
01:16:44.000And here are these people getting paid tens of thousands of dollars to write about nonsense.
01:16:47.000Not only off of that, but they're also living off of the backs of illegal immigrants that they're benefiting off of when they're paid low wage work.
01:16:55.000That they're serving them, they're cooking their food, they're giving them their food, they're cleaning after them, and they're hypocritically talking about the plight of immigrants, calling for more immigrants, as of course they're benefiting from it.
01:17:37.000You know, it's funny because, but I'll tell you this.
01:17:40.000The one thing that really angers the left is pointing out the issues that are affecting cities.
01:17:46.000Like they really, really get mad at me.
01:17:49.000And so I've done several segments talking about women not finding relationships, not getting married, and complaining about it.
01:17:56.000And so there's been several studies, and it's been left-wing publications or right-wing publications, but the one thing that really drives them insane and makes them really want to come after me is when I point out these articles where it's like 30-year-old woman says, I can't get a boyfriend or something.
01:18:09.000And so they try to, you know, it's just, they don't like that as a conversation.
01:18:14.000For some reason, that particular conversation really, really gets to them.
01:18:48.000It is weird that when you look at the city and there are millions of people who are alone and lonely, and you interact with thousands of them every week, but the relationships are getting worse, right?
01:19:00.000The marriage rates are plummeting, the divorce rates are skyrocketing, so how are all these people, especially a city like DC where I lived for 15 years, 17 years, how do all these people who are between 24 and 34 and single Not find love.
01:19:17.000I think it's the internet, to be honest.
01:19:19.000You know, it's changed the way we used to communicate, we used to discover people, we used to bump into each other and then find common bonds.
01:19:26.000So I, you know... People cyberstalk also, which is a big problem.
01:19:30.000I meet this guy Ian, he's awesome, but before I have the first date, I find old tweets.
01:19:35.000And they're like, oh my god, and I don't believe this, and oh my gosh, you like third eye blind, I can't go out with Ian.
01:19:40.000It's part of why I didn't research you.
01:19:42.000I don't ask who's coming on the show because I don't want to stalk you before you get here.
01:19:47.000That is like the most mature thing I have ever heard because other people be like, well, let me find out every detail and that's awesome, you know, and I hope people do that in their dating life too and be pleasantly surprised.
01:20:38.000But considering the conversation happening around Texas right now, so for those of you that are watching, if you get someone who says, see, AOC says, this is why we need a Green New Deal.
01:20:51.000Sycat Chakrabarty, AOC's former chief of staff, said that addressing climate change was not Ocasio-Cortez's top priority in proposing the Green New Deal during a meeting with Washington Governor Jay Inslee.
01:21:00.000Quote, the interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn't originally a climate thing at
01:21:05.000all. This is what Chakrabarti said to Inslee's climate director, Sam Ricketts. He said, do you
01:21:13.000Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.
01:21:17.000The Green New Deal proposed earlier this year by Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey would transition the U.S.
01:21:22.000economy entirely away from fossil fuels within 10 years, while simultaneously providing a federal jobs and healthcare guarantee.
01:21:28.000It would also, according to its proponents, advance social, economic, racial, regional, and gender-based justice and equality in cooperative and public ownership.
01:21:37.000All told, the proposal will cost up to $93 trillion in new government spending over 10 years, yada yada, we get it.
01:21:43.000Okay, to put it simply, let me ask you a question.
01:21:50.000If someone came to me and said, do you think we should allocate taxpayer funds towards investing in new energy technologies in an effort to offset carbon emissions?
01:22:11.000What they did not ask them was the actual contents of the Green New Deal.
01:22:15.000Do you support the largest transfer of power and economic control to the government in order to ensure racial and gender-based equity and guaranteed housing and healthcare?
01:22:30.000That has nothing to do with the environment.
01:22:33.000That's going to dramatically drop the amount of people who agree with that.
01:22:38.000Last point, Chakrabarti said it was about changing the economy.
01:22:42.000It's a new deal with green just jammed in there to use environmentalism as a manipulation.
01:22:48.000Because when I read that bill, I was looking for a legitimate resolution that said, we're going to allocate X amount of funds towards fusion.
01:22:54.000We're going to allocate X amount of funds towards nuclear development, which I knew they would never do.
01:22:58.000And we're going to allocate X amount of funds towards carbon capture.
01:23:00.000And I'd be like, let's, let's technology.
01:23:51.000Or if it doesn't contain a fossil fuel, it was only created at a price point that you could afford to put it in this room because fossil fuel made it, right?
01:24:01.000The wood that was milled, you could afford to buy because the trees were harvested, they were transported, they were cut, they were brought to your home depot, all at a price point you could afford.
01:24:14.000And that's what's beautiful about the free market system.
01:24:17.000It takes the most amount of goods and lowers it to the lowest cost imaginable.
01:24:21.000And just on a quick little note, right?
01:24:24.000So not to be political, but the last four years, Trump is an oil guy, Trump is an oil guy, he supports big oil.
01:24:29.000Boy, for a guy who supports big oil, oil prices were pretty damn low, right?
01:24:35.000The oil companies want to make profit off of volume.
01:24:39.000Oil was at, even before COVID, oil prices were low because they were producing more of it.
01:24:44.000The industry, the free market, wants to produce more things at a lower price point because more people can buy it.
01:24:50.000So let's Let's talk about price point.
01:25:01.000I'm not talking about, and they mention this in the article, a guy going to Radio Shack or Home Depot or whatever to buy components saying I need some wire, I need some metal.
01:25:30.000For the average person working at McDonald's, takes about an hour.
01:25:34.000Well, after taxes, about an hour and a half, two hours.
01:25:36.000And then you get a toaster this guy could not make.
01:25:39.000The fact that we have this massive industry All of it, 190-something percent fueled by fossil fuels means that you can have these things people cannot make on their own.
01:25:52.000So the interesting thing about it was plastics.
01:25:54.000So he couldn't make it if he wanted to.
01:25:57.000He could do the metal, he could do everything else, but he couldn't actually make the plastic, which is funny because fossil fuel based for the most part, petrochemicals and things like that.
01:26:04.000Think about, you brought this up before the show, ham sandwiches.
01:26:07.000You want to tell the ham sandwich story?
01:26:08.000Yeah, it was similar to that, and I have to find, I don't remember where I read it, but it was a guy who, it was, I forget where it was, a guy who wanted to make a ham sandwich, same idea though.
01:26:18.000Every component he wanted to make, he wanted to grow the wheat.
01:26:22.000He wanted to grow the pig to make the ham.
01:26:24.000It took him years and it cost him, I think the price point was like $1,000, where he laughed and said, I can go to the store and buy this ham sandwich for $4 or I could make it on my own and it's $1,000 and years to make it happen.
01:26:45.000And I was looking at the ingredients and I was like, the amount of things that had to be pulled together to make this would have been like the Manhattan Project.
01:26:55.000Like 2,000 years ago, if you gave them that recipe, they'd be like, what?
01:26:59.000We have to get all of these things to make this?
01:27:03.000And what amazes me about the AOCs of the world, of the haughtiness sometimes of our elite, is The average person in America right now, the average person has the greatest quality of life in the history of mankind.
01:27:17.000You find people who don't make an awful lot of money who will say things like, oh, you know, I really like craft beer and I like to get my craft beer from this place.
01:27:24.000A generation ago, we all drank, our parents, my parents, your grandparents, they drank Schlitz, right?
01:28:04.000It gives us And if Americans are willing to compromise their quality of life for the environment, then I'm not going to stop them from doing it.
01:28:12.000But they need to know that is what is on the line.
01:28:14.000And to say we're going to have a Green New Deal, but we're going to continue with all of this, is just a lie.
01:28:19.000There's a balance, because I went to South America to Iquitos in northeast Peru, which is like the last big city before you get into the jungle.
01:28:26.000And Honda basically got their tentacles in Iquitos and started selling them these tuk-tuks, these like three-wheel cars, and basically brand them all Honda.
01:28:34.000And they use Like gas engines all of them.
01:28:37.000So there's like thousands tens and hundreds of thousands of these just pouring black smoke into the air It smells disgusting.
01:28:45.000It's also considered the dirtiest city on the planet That's because it's just all running off gas with no carbon capture taken into consideration.
01:28:53.000So there's about we need to learn how to use it and Absolutely, we need a balance.
01:28:59.000And I would argue that we have allowed ourselves to have this binary mentality.
01:29:05.000We either love the earth or we want to pollute it with fossil fuels.
01:29:23.000I don't want to become that, but we're not there.
01:29:26.000And so, like we said with the straw ban, we are chastising ourselves and compromising our quality of life for the sins committed by other countries, for the pollution created by China, for the pollution created by Indonesia and India.
01:29:40.000When are we going to stand up and say, you know what, we don't throw... I grew up in Rockaway, as I was saying earlier, on the beach.
01:29:47.000I've been to lots of different beaches in this country.
01:29:49.000I've never seen plastic strewn all over the place.
01:29:53.000We don't pollute our oceans in America.
01:30:05.000I'm tired of us having to compromise our quality of life for the sins committed by other countries, because there are countries committing great sins against the environment.
01:30:15.000We're going to find out that the carbon dioxide in the air is valuable, like a natural resource to reuse, and the plastic in the ocean is insanely valuable when you can melt it down or break it down with fungus and bacteria to turn it into sugar and reuse it.
01:30:27.000It's going to be worth its weight in gold.
01:30:29.000So if China wants to throw it into the ocean so that we can recapture it, I'm totally into it.
01:31:12.000So you get the carbon dioxide out of the air and you put it on palladium, apparently, the same metal that you use for cold fusion, the palladium.
01:31:25.000In 50 to 100 years when they're like, you know, global cooling catastrophe because too much carbon is being extracted by these graphene manufacturing plants.
01:31:32.000I'm sure they'll find something to be... You know, there's articles going back to the 70s, obviously, for the global cooling.
01:31:38.000My favorite article of all, which is recirculated a lot, is the UN report of 1989 saying we had 10 years to fix climate change.
01:31:46.000And if not, the Maldives would be underwater within 30 years.
01:31:49.000What about the 70s, the global cooling crisis?
01:31:51.000You know but I again I also think like I said earlier I don't like well I don't like I don't trust the press and I also don't like government and I my whole life I've been told between killer bees and swine flu and bird flu and this pandemic everything's gonna kill me every five seconds we're always told we're gonna This whole like slow death thing is driving, I think is a fear thing because we're coming out of the last ice age right now.
01:32:31.000So we got to prevent and be prepared for that kind of thing.
01:32:33.000Well, we need to understand a lot of things.
01:32:36.000It's not always, you know, so strongly on one side that there's going to be a solution on.
01:32:43.000You know, there are some legitimate issues that we do need to take care of, especially with the environment, especially with China, especially with other third world developing countries, especially things that we could also do better and we should strive to do better, but we're not going to be doing better when we're going to be punishing people for living their lives.
01:32:59.000And doing it radically, and listening to people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that literally said the world will end in 12 years if climate change is not addressed.
01:33:07.000And I called my organization Power of the Future for a reason, because I do believe our future is better and brighter and has fewer emissions, etc, etc.
01:33:16.000But the geniuses who are thinking about this and the conversations we're having, the people who are going to laboratories and factories and experimenting, You know who's not crippling their energy?
01:35:55.000The ice on Greenland is ice that is not displacing water.
01:35:58.000So they say when that melts, it will change the salinity levels, the flow, and potentially the water, the ocean levels themselves.
01:36:05.000Yeah, it melts on the inside and then it breaks and floods and causes like a dead zone of lack of salt water, all this fresh water.
01:36:12.000My question is, like, why are these ultra elites buying beachfront properties?
01:36:16.000No, but it's funny, but someone sent me a video where a guy said that he could debunk climate change with one simple fact, and then he brought up that some global elite, I don't know who it was, bought Florida beachfront property, and he said, how is that possible?
01:36:34.000That you have these people saying all this is going to happen, and they just made a 30-year investment on waterfront property.
01:36:42.000There's another video someone sent me where a guy talks about how if this was true, no bank would issue a loan to anyone buying or building on beachfronts, but they don't care.
01:36:54.000Just to finish this, the argument from the left is just simply because people don't care, and that's a problem.
01:36:59.000Or they don't believe because even as you have now called him our Lord and Savior Bill Gates in his CNN interview on Sunday said, you know, we have 30 years to fix this problem.
01:37:08.000Well AOC two years ago said we had 10 years at the presidential debates, the Democrat primaries.
01:37:34.000The legitimate scientists, though, not the politicians, not the politicos or the people trying to make money, will tell you it's a lot longer than that, right?
01:37:41.000So there's a meteorologist who frequently would debunk AOC saying, Climate change and carbon emissions, they're serious problems.
01:40:03.000community is it you gotta tell him to do my roof just cuz says Luke just bought a bunch of your merchant merchandise post more pictures of your puppy much love from Louisiana thank you so much the puppy's doing really well she was having a really fun day running around all the snow today I'm gonna post a video on my Instagram later look we are change one year one year spurts one other ones little Ernie G says, instead of learn to code, learn to grow.
01:40:28.000There should be classes to teach people to survive in worse conditions, build, grow, and survival.
01:41:27.000Cody McPherson says, In Kansas, our governor, Laura, issued an emergency because natural gas companies raised the price of gas over 100 times the regular.
01:41:36.000My small town I live in had a bill of $10 million for only 6 days.
01:41:40.000Typical bill is $1.6 million for an entire year.
01:43:11.000Deplorable pirate captain Gunbeard says, the electrical grade copper green energy requires cannot economically be made from recycled copper.
01:43:18.000Green energy requires mining lots of copper ore that uses lots of oil.
01:43:22.000Chile actually reconverted their entire economy to become a mining economy.
01:43:25.000It's like the third largest mining country in the world.
01:43:47.000We have a serious one here from Kroop.
01:43:48.000He says, a Pasco County, Florida, police officer and close friend lost his life yesterday in the line of duty.
01:43:53.000He is survived by his wife, newborn child, and five-year-old daughters.
01:43:57.000His GoFundMe is named, quote, Deputy Michael Magli and Family, Pinellas County, or Pinellas County, however you pronounce it, and it's Michael M-A-G-L-I and Family.
01:44:07.000If you guys want to check that out, Kroop, I'm sorry for your loss and my condolences to the family.
01:44:13.000Acme Products says, ERCOT operates a trading market for electricity.
01:44:17.000What happened in Texas was a stock market crash.
01:44:20.000Distributors aren't coming online because electric is $9,000 per unit, when it's usually $25.
01:44:25.000This isn't only weather, this is Enron stuff.
01:46:25.000At the base, there's these turbine generators, and then they build large circular tarps around for like a mile around the tower.
01:46:31.000Underneath, not only does the sun hit the tarp and then cause water to condense underneath, so in the desert, for instance, it'll start to grow grass, but the hot air down there starts rushing towards the center tower, turning the turbines going up the tower.
01:46:45.000It's incredible just re- they're just super expensive to build.
01:46:48.000Did you guys know that before the invention of air conditioning we couldn't build buildings above like eight floors?
01:46:53.000Because the heat in the building would rise to the point where the top floors would just be too hot for humans to want to be in.
01:47:00.000They'd open the windows and try and get air to circulate.
01:47:08.000They said, the technology to build bigger than eight stories has existed since ancient times, but it wasn't a part of our engineering, our culture.
01:47:17.000So now, modern buildings are built in such a way that heat is funneled out of the building, not into the floors, and colder air is brought in.
01:47:26.000So we actually have much more efficient architecture where we don't need to waste so much energy on air conditioning.
01:48:16.000I went to Iceland once and I was talking to a bunch of people there explaining to me how Iceland went from being this really awful place to live, where people were always covered in grime from like coal mining or whatever it is they were mining, just like really crappy industrial labor for very little return.
01:48:30.000And then geothermal came and they set up these geothermal plants and now they have an abundance of energy.
01:49:51.000boy michael cook says calling yourself an expert with only five
01:49:55.000years in the field is evident of a lack of self-awareness i'm a twenty two-year-old
01:49:59.000uni dropout and i am more of an expert than this guy similar blackout
01:50:02.000happened in south australia twenty sixteen
01:50:05.000yet and you know what they did as a result they got rid of malcolm turnbull who was the prime minister
01:50:10.000Because the people of Melbourne said, remember I'm engaged to an Aussie, the people of Victoria and Melbourne said, this isn't the third world.
01:52:06.000And you got some chocolate covered crickets.
01:52:09.000I think people, I think people would not have the opinions on eating bugs if they just grew up eating them.
01:52:15.000And a lot of people in the world do and don't care.
01:52:18.000I mean, one of the cool things about America is there are still parts of the country where people eat squirrel and possum and other things and don't think twice about it.
01:53:13.000That was my introduction to Joe Rogan.
01:53:15.000And I loved it so much because you'd see people in fear, like literally in panic, and he would inspire them.
01:53:22.000Help them overcome their fears and it was like he was just some dude like some jabroni from the Bronx or wherever he's I don't know where he's from.
01:53:30.000But he was so like loving to these people in their weakest moments that I had so much respect for that guy.
01:53:37.000I liked it when it was fear like you have to put your hand in here.
01:53:40.000I'm not telling you what it is when it was just gross out factor.
01:53:43.000Yeah, right, but when it was genuinely like I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to put on you But we are gonna put an animal or like jump from a moving vehicle to another moving vehicle You can do it.
01:53:54.000He's like you can and he was really give them like inspiration It's just like they're gonna make you eat something.
01:54:01.000You're not gonna get hurt You know I mean, I'm gonna put your hand in something an animal on you.
01:54:04.000You're not gonna get hurt All right, we got this big one from Geraldo Olivares.
01:54:07.000Thanks for the super chat from Texas came to the ranch because it had it had power
01:54:12.000City Texans seem not to be prepared to self-reliant work in ong with many between us and wind
01:54:18.000They prefer wind because it's heavily subsidized. There was a power dispatch issue wind isn't scalable
01:54:24.000We're not against wind but realize its issues and resources nuclear is the future. You're here, sir
01:54:29.000Thank you for the batteries man Cuz sometimes it's super windy and you would charge the
01:54:33.000hell out of those batteries and then because the wind doesn't always blow
01:57:29.000And then you, you put a mesh over it and then you spray it with concrete.
01:57:32.000Then you put wiring, concrete, wiring, concrete, boom.
01:57:36.000Then you gotta like, you know, put in the insulation and make it look pretty.
01:57:39.000And that guy is happier in his home than any of these like defeat liberals
01:57:43.000in the city are in their- Yeah, but you know, van life has become extremely popular.
01:57:49.000A lot of young people are like, dude, living in a van by the beach is way more fun than living in a concrete cubicle in New York City that smells like sour milk.
01:57:59.000This channel was originally called The Van Chan.
01:58:35.000Here we are, almost a million subscribers.
01:58:37.000We are really close to a million, so if you haven't subscribed, make sure you subscribe and tell your friends to subscribe because we are seriously close to breaking a million.
01:58:43.000And then I'm just gonna, I'm gonna love it when Google is forced to give me another gold medal or whatever award.
01:58:51.000Melissa K says, I love hearing you talk about self-sufficiency and rural living.
01:58:55.000Should check out Rooted, new docuseries from Justin Rhodes, amazing homesteading resource.
01:59:09.000Yeah, I mean, I guess when they can no longer lay, I guess, you know, you could stew it.
01:59:15.000It'd be tough and gamey, but right now we're using them for the eggs, so I don't wanna kill my hens.
01:59:20.000When I lived in Miami, there was one farm, I guess, that had peacocks, and they just had no, they didn't care.
01:59:27.000They were walking around on the roads, doing whatever, and it was like you just slowed down, wait for them to pass, and sometimes they'd scream at you and run at you, and I'm like, don't you gotta close your fence or something?
01:59:52.000Or I suppose you still need something to deal with, you know, wild animals.
01:59:55.000But I guess people used to get dogs for it.
01:59:58.000My dogs, yeah, will keep out the wild animals.
02:00:01.000The other day there was a fox on the other side of the fence that was teasing it and so for fun I threw the dog on the other side of the fence and chased the fox.
02:00:09.000And I would never kill the fox because foxes are beautiful and it really, you know, they are, that's where, again, Living in the country you learn the expression clever like
02:00:16.000a fox is a real thing. They are smart little animals they are crafty and they are and they like to tease dogs
02:00:22.000when they know a dog is behind behind a fence and It was pretty funny to see a fox. Are they in tail line or
02:00:27.000or Feline or are they one of the others?
02:02:49.000You run, basically you have like an outer layer of your house with glass walls, and then so you run the water underneath, the air cools, but then the sunlight heats it so it rises and then pushes the air in a circular pattern.
02:03:00.000Have you guys seen the new solar capture technology where it's this chemical that's a closed system that can catch and release solar energy?
02:03:08.000So, it's a liquid that, when sunlight hits it, it, like, essentially absorbs some of those photons, like, whatever, however it works, I'm not entirely sure.

02:05:57.000Bill Gates just called for cryptocurrencies to be getting rid of.
02:06:01.000So lots of crazy news happening right now.
02:06:03.000And I report on it, especially about individuals like Bill Gates that I did A very interesting video about today on my independent media channel called We Are Change.
