00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:13.140
Welcome to the dumbest smart guy podcast on the
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:18.140
planet. This is the Central Unintelligence Podcast.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.140
An all -new episode of the Central Unintelligence
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.960
Podcast. As always, my name is Josh, and I'm
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.320
here today with good buddy Adam. Yes, hello.
00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:51.939
So, actually, let me pull this up a little. This
00:00:51.939 --> 00:00:54.780
episode originally, we tried to record a week
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.679
ago. Oh, we're starting over. Yeah, we're just
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.859
starting over. Okay. Because I've sort of changed
00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.179
things a little bit, but I wanted to give the
00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:02.539
context. So we originally recorded this episode,
00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.219
and it was originally called, What is the Strategy
00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.260
Here in Iran? And now, we're going to talk about
00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.010
that a little bit. I changed the name of the
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.329
episode to how does this affect LeBron's legacy?
00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:18.409
My favorite question, dude. You could you could
00:01:18.409 --> 00:01:22.590
tie that into anything, dude. And the reason.
00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:25.510
The reason is because, like, that's something
00:01:25.510 --> 00:01:28.469
that Adam always fucking says, and I fucking
00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:32.170
say it now. And it's in regards to, like, if
00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:33.390
you're talking about some shit, just anything
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:34.689
random, you just go, yeah, but how does this
00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:35.909
affect LeBron's legacy? It's like the Ja Rule
00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:41.489
shit, dude. It's like, oh, my God, what is Ja
00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:45.000
Rule? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the invasion
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.959
of Iran or the war in Iran. What does Ja Rule
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.840
think about this, though? That really matters.
00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:55.379
Like, yeah. So and part of that is like, yeah,
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.799
it's funny. And also because there is an aspect
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.180
of like, OK, yeah, people asking about LeBron's
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:04.500
legacy, like with inserting it into anything.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.099
That's just like a selfish like thing. you know,
00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:09.520
to say like, yeah, but how does this affect me?
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.180
Right. And so like, that's kind of what we're
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.460
also going to talk about because it ties into
00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.479
stuff that I've been saying for literally years.
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.860
And now I think we're really starting to get
00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:24.580
into the high realm of possibility, or I should
00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:30.810
say probability, a high probability or. decent
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.110
probability that that something's going to happen
00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:36.030
that's going to really, really affect us here
00:02:36.030 --> 00:02:40.490
in the United States. And so in things change
00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:42.990
in this conflict on a daily basis, right? Like
00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:47.069
literally day to day shit changes. And in relation
00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:51.159
to the previous episode we did. Things have changed
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.199
even since then when we started. And the reason
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.900
why we started the episode last week and then
00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:56.719
the power went out, we were like fucking 20 minutes
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.379
in and the power went out and my power was out
00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:01.139
for like, I don't know, like four or five hours.
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.259
So we ended up not getting to finish. And this
00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:04.919
is the first chance we've had to like sit down
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.979
and actually meet up again to like do more episodes
00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:12.939
since then. So in context of what we talked about
00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:14.719
last time, just to kind of wrap it up a little
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.610
bit, sum it up a little was the. Multitudes of
00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:20.389
reports that were running out of interceptor
00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:22.969
missiles that were running out of the Patriot
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:29.210
missile system. I briefly went into how the Patriot
00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:32.330
missile system costs delivered to the Middle
00:03:32.330 --> 00:03:34.650
East between six and twelve million dollars.
00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:38.610
And we generally fire at least three projectiles
00:03:38.610 --> 00:03:40.590
at whatever it is we're trying to shoot down,
00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:43.129
whether it be a missile or whether it be now
00:03:43.129 --> 00:03:47.759
a lot of. Other countries that were using it
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.479
were being pretty undisciplined with it and they
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.400
were using it to shoot down drones, which if
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.500
you're going to use it to shoot down like $150
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:58.439
,000 or $200 ,000 drone, you're going to literally
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.000
throw $18 million in missiles at it just to hit
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.939
it. That's a terrible idea. And that's kind of
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:07.180
why we're in the situation that we're in. Iran
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:09.479
has been shooting off their missiles, right?
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.599
And those missiles are a lot cheaper than $12
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.879
million fucking dollars a piece. It's not really
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.339
costing them much in the way of doing it. So
00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:22.759
we're sending $18 to $36 million, depending on
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:27.800
where the location is, to shoot down one missile,
00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:32.300
one ballistic missile from Iran or the Houthis
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:36.399
or whoever. Can I throw something? Yeah. All
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.899
right, man. What do you think about... For us,
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:43.079
right, to have all these private company, well,
00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.620
not private companies, but companies like Northrop
00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:47.879
Grumman. Yeah. Lockheed and Martin, all this
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.500
shit. And now that we're finding out that Iran
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.399
is able to do warfare cheaper, who does it really
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.639
benefit to. Have like these expensive fighters
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.180
now at this point, if warfare has kind of changed.
00:05:05.829 --> 00:05:08.110
completely right if it costs like 10 million
00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:10.910
dollars to make an f -35 or an f -15 or whatever
00:05:10.910 --> 00:05:16.670
it's like are we really using those at this point
00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:22.050
and uh for the way that iran is fighting like
00:05:22.050 --> 00:05:25.970
kind of putting the universal hurt on all of
00:05:25.970 --> 00:05:29.290
us with this oil shit and the straight up hormuz
00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:31.709
they don't actually have to do anything like
00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:34.329
so i don't know if i know those are kind of like
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.100
unrelated things but maybe they are but just
00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:42.220
i i feel like uh what does it really benefit
00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:46.300
for us to have uh fighter jets that are worth
00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:48.639
10 or you know if it's like a billion dollars
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.319
or whatever the fuck it costs to make a whole
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.879
fleet of those things like so what dude yeah
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.839
well exactly well now at this point we are getting
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.259
into and this is where we're getting into that
00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:06.730
point of Of the military industrial complex.
00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:09.750
Like he literally. Pointed that out. And I've
00:06:09.750 --> 00:06:11.569
talked about that before. And if you don't fucking
00:06:11.569 --> 00:06:13.310
believe me. You can go back and watch Eisenhower's
00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:16.209
fucking. Leave an office speech. That he gave
00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:19.370
in 1950 something. Or whenever the fuck it was.
00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:25.310
And. The reason why is because. Our military
00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:29.230
budget for 2027. Is 1 .5 trillion dollars. Is
00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:32.389
what they're going to spend. One and a half trillion
00:06:32.389 --> 00:06:38.050
dollars. That's one thousand million dollars
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:40.449
plus another five hundred fucking million dollars
00:06:40.449 --> 00:06:42.329
or billion. I mean, I'm sorry. That's a thousand
00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:45.350
billion plus another five hundred billion. Yeah,
00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:49.810
that's fucking crazy. And what are we spending
00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:52.170
it on? If you look at the they always say that
00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:53.829
thing about the Pentagon never fucking can pass
00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:56.069
an audit. And the reason for that is because
00:06:56.069 --> 00:07:00.310
there's three companies charging seven thousand
00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.209
dollars for one single three eighths wrench.
00:07:03.769 --> 00:07:05.470
Right. Like, I mean, it's that's kind of like
00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:07.829
the level and that's probably an over exaggerated
00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:10.129
and a facetious type of answer, but it's not
00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:14.370
far off. They're charging for one nut or a rivet
00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:17.170
on a plane. It's nine hundred dollars. Right.
00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:19.649
And they need two thousand rivets or whatever
00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:21.889
on something. And it's nine hundred dollars a
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.209
rivet. That's how these weapon systems become
00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:27.389
so inflated. And if you look at there's a reason
00:07:27.389 --> 00:07:30.110
why all the defense contractor stocks always
00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:32.209
go up as soon as they get a contract, because
00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:35.990
it's. instantaneous huge amounts of profit because
00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:38.689
they do shit on the super super cheap and they
00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:42.709
charge 50 times or a hundred times the price
00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:47.230
of what it cost to do it right and so this is
00:07:47.230 --> 00:07:49.670
when now the face of warfare is changing technology
00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:54.259
has the what is it the um The shrinking of technology
00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:57.180
and the higher level of access to it that everyone
00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:00.379
has now has changed the face of warfare. Drones,
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.160
all this shit on the cheap, cheap missiles, cheap
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.399
drones. That's the future of warfare. Disinformation,
00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:09.959
propaganda. Right. Electronic warfare, you know,
00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:12.259
hacking, that kind of stuff. That's free. Hacking
00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:14.240
is free. It doesn't cost anything. Yeah, you
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.620
got to have some computers and shit, but it's
00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:18.060
basically free. Uh, what is there something flying
00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.740
around? Oh yeah. Don't mind me. I'm just trying
00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:21.959
to keep track of mosquito. Cause I think it bit
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.060
me. Oh, son of a bitch. Anyways. That's why that's
00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:27.439
the drawbacks of the garage studio. Yeah. Um,
00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:31.579
but anyways, uh, there was something that recently
00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:34.659
just happened and this is a good example of the
00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:37.600
Navy just did like an exercise for the submarine
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.559
fleet readiness and they did not like the results.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.200
Um, it's, it's coming out basically that the
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.820
fleets are not, the submarine fleet is not, for
00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:51.740
any kind of major conflict. And an example of
00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:55.139
that being our logistical shit has fucking gone
00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.580
awry because we spend too much money on these
00:08:57.580 --> 00:09:00.500
stupid -ass fucking weapons platforms that these
00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.720
companies could make, yeah, maybe a 3 or 4x profit,
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.039
or maybe even a 5 or 10x profit would be cool,
00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:08.059
but instead they want to make a 100x profit,
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.700
and now we're in this situation where we've got
00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:12.279
to spend so much fucking money that we don't
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.080
have, and we're really not getting decent quality
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.090
stuff anymore. Um, one of the big things with
00:09:19.090 --> 00:09:21.950
this and this this shit is there was there was
00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:25.610
a I think it was the USS. I don't know. Some
00:09:25.610 --> 00:09:29.029
I think it was Ohio or some fucking Midwest state
00:09:29.029 --> 00:09:31.830
or city name. I forget which one it was, but
00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.409
it was a Los Angeles class attack submarine.
00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:38.230
And in 2017, it went in dry dock to go get its
00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:44.389
service done. And by like 20. they were like,
00:09:44.450 --> 00:09:46.570
the Navy basically just said it lost its dive
00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:47.909
certification because it had been out of the
00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:50.090
water for over two years. The Navy just said,
00:09:50.129 --> 00:09:54.990
we don't have any reliable timeline of when this
00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:56.970
is going to get in just to get the basic maintenance
00:09:56.970 --> 00:10:00.100
on it done. Right. Like the the dry dock maintenance
00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:01.840
that needs to be performed on every fucking Navy
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.340
ship every like, you know, few years. They didn't
00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.919
have a time frame of when it could get the service
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.460
done. So they just fucking mothballed it and
00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:11.799
they just fucking took it out of service. So
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.899
we have a really big problem with our naval fleet
00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:19.019
not getting the service it needs and having the
00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:27.759
backlog of of getting that service done. Everybody
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.320
was always the quality, they're pieces of shit.
00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:33.059
Yeah, you can have. OK, that's that's been true.
00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:37.600
But now coming into the mid 2020s now and we're
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.379
really heading towards the late 2020s, the qualitative
00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:44.279
advantage that we have had is starting to diminish
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.899
greatly. And we're beginning to see that wane.
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:55.340
So getting into, OK, how does this now? affect
00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:58.320
us here like how does that affect us in the United
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.600
States and how does this affect our how does
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.139
this affect LeBron's legacy basically is what
00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:06.840
we're fucking talking about and I believe like
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.879
right now the current what it's looking like
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.419
right now is that sometime in the next couple
00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:14.600
of days I think as early as tomorrow which is
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.360
Saturday August 1st I think that we're going
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.139
to see a the rumor is that there's been strike
00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:26.620
packages approved to just decimate Iran's civilian
00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:30.840
infrastructure, that they are going to just decimate
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:36.080
that shit and try to get Iran to come back to
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.639
the table. And if that doesn't work, which it
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.340
won't, then they're going to just basically spend
00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:43.980
two weeks. They have another two week plan where
00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:46.299
they're just going to basically bomb Iran for
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:48.440
24 hours a day straight for two fucking weeks.
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.220
That's that's like the plan. Essentially, that's
00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:53.500
that's what's been kind of coming out now. Could
00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:56.500
all just be bullshit. Who knows? But with the
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.120
way these things have been going, these leaks
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.659
have been happening and they turn out to generally
00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:02.659
be like true. I wouldn't fucking put it past
00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:04.539
them to believe that this is a viable fucking
00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:10.620
option. And with that being said, we have had
00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:13.519
problems here in the United States in the past
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:19.309
of just. unchecked fucking people coming in,
00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:21.629
right? Which, again, I think we should just let
00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:23.409
everybody in and we should just have an easy
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:27.169
process that's not, you know, fucking super restrictive.
00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:29.690
Just let people come in. It'll all be good. We
00:12:29.690 --> 00:12:33.129
won't have to worry about this shit. But I don't
00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:37.870
think that it's far -fetched to see... our own
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.570
infrastructure here be attacked and not with
00:12:40.570 --> 00:12:42.549
a cyber attack i'm talking about i mean that
00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:45.549
is possible it has happened in the last day in
00:12:45.549 --> 00:12:48.629
the last 24 hours it's come out that seven states
00:12:48.629 --> 00:12:52.289
were cyber attacked for their water infrastructure
00:12:52.289 --> 00:12:55.009
minnesota being the one that came out as the
00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:58.850
first one 30 municipalities including cities
00:12:58.850 --> 00:13:00.450
and counties and i don't know what they have
00:13:00.450 --> 00:13:03.070
like fucking not counties over there it's like
00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:05.799
uh I don't know what they call them, like townships
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:10.519
or whatever, like 30 major areas in of water
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.500
systems. Their infrastructure was breached and
00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:16.320
it's not really coming out what the extent was,
00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.000
whether it was service interruptions, whether
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.620
it was the, you know, filtration stuff that we
00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:24.620
rely heavily upon, if that was affected at all.
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.909
But. minnesota and seven other or six other states
00:13:28.909 --> 00:13:31.389
supposedly had this happen and the fbi is investigating
00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:33.710
it and everyone's pointing to iran trump came
00:13:33.710 --> 00:13:36.590
out and said oh it wasn't iran he says it was
00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:40.509
the corrupt governor of uh minnesota and you
00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:43.110
know yeah basically and he was just blaming it
00:13:43.110 --> 00:13:46.340
on the governor and his corruption and that's
00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:49.679
why these water uh things went down which when
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.659
he says shit like that that makes me then further
00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:53.480
believe oh yeah fucking iran definitely probably
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.659
had something to do with this now iran is not
00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:58.679
like a powerhouse of like what's the word um
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.860
technological capability they have competent
00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:06.139
cyber attack capabilities but they're not the
00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:11.250
best um Our shit here is just so weak and our
00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:13.850
infrastructure is so bad that it's not really
00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:17.009
difficult to do this type of stuff cyber attack
00:14:17.009 --> 00:14:21.330
wise. I am still and one of the things that and
00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:24.870
I've started to hear this. And I've been saying
00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:26.570
this for years, but I've started to hear this
00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:29.330
now in come out and kind of like the starting
00:14:29.330 --> 00:14:31.149
to be in the mainstream stuff of people talking
00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:35.190
about where a physical attack on the power grid.
00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:38.429
Is not out of the realm of possibility that there's
00:14:38.429 --> 00:14:41.350
a lot of very competent, high level intelligence
00:14:41.350 --> 00:14:45.210
agency people that really this is like the thing
00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:47.470
that keeps them up at night is the fact that
00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:50.570
our infrastructure is so unprotected. It's so
00:14:50.570 --> 00:14:55.309
easily accessible. Maybe just a chain link fence
00:14:55.309 --> 00:14:57.490
with barbed wires blocking our major hubs. And
00:14:57.490 --> 00:15:00.850
as we've talked about before, there's only about
00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:03.590
12 major hubs throughout the whole United States.
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.059
that if you take down, really there's like three
00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:08.899
to four real important ones, and if you take
00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:12.000
one of them down, you will essentially lose power
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.059
to a third to the half of the United States.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.519
We'll just lose power if one of those major hubs
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.860
is hit. And again, they're not very well guarded.
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.019
This is not a secret. All it would take, and
00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.460
again, the thing coming out is, all it would
00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:27.980
take is maybe seven, eight guys with fucking
00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:32.220
AK -47s to just go and shoot it up. As we've
00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:35.980
talked about in previous episodes regarding China
00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:38.960
and the threat that they could potentially pose,
00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:41.500
we've talked about that happening here, where
00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.679
there have been instances where small power stations,
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.299
multiple times in multiple different locations
00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:49.480
throughout the United States and over the course
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.039
of several years, there had been incidences where
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.759
there were... little small power areas and power
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.279
stations that were attacked by gunfire and nothing
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.279
was ever found no no one was ever no no harm
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.940
was ever or not no harm but no perpetrators were
00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:09.059
ever taken into custody uh because some dudes
00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:11.120
just came out of the woods and just opened fire
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.679
on it and then left um that is something that's
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.519
not out of the realm of possibility that could
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.279
happen and are there could there very well be
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:28.039
Couple hundred, you know, Iranian guys that once
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.379
we started, once we killed Khomeini back in during
00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:34.639
the first trumpet or not Khomeini, general, fuck
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.480
the Soleimani, the general that Trump drone struck
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.440
or whatever back during his first term. Did they
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.399
just finally say, OK, we've been preparing for
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.120
a conflict with the United States or the West
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.139
essentially for the last 47 years. Maybe we need
00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:53.279
to start, instead of just focusing on defense,
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.379
maybe we need to focus on an offensive capability.
00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.820
And I would not put it out of the realm of possibility
00:16:57.820 --> 00:17:01.820
that they sent some people over here. Again,
00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:03.940
it's not hard to cross the border, either northern
00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.920
or southern, and it's not hard to come across,
00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:09.900
you know, just come off of a container ship going
00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:12.279
up one of the coasts on a small little dinghy
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.900
craft and then just land anywhere along the eastern
00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:18.839
or western seaboard. and just walk right in with
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.880
backpacks and fucking shit full of AK -47s and
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.599
fucking ammunition. It's not difficult. And cash.
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.779
It's not out of the realm of possibility. And
00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:33.140
I'm starting to believe that it's going to be
00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:35.119
something that could very well likely happen.
00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:38.380
And as we've talked about in the past, if that
00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:40.369
is something that happens here... it's going
00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:42.210
to be years before that power is able to come
00:17:42.210 --> 00:17:44.730
back on. I mean, we're talking literal years.
00:17:45.009 --> 00:17:49.609
And now, maybe even never. Because guess who
00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:52.349
controls all the rare earth elements that are
00:17:52.349 --> 00:17:55.369
needed to make those fucking Transformers and
00:17:55.369 --> 00:17:59.250
to make those things? It's China. They now have
00:17:59.250 --> 00:18:02.470
their finger on the tap to be able to say, and
00:18:02.470 --> 00:18:04.269
they're already doing it to us. No, no, you guys
00:18:04.269 --> 00:18:05.410
can't have this. We're not going to let you guys
00:18:05.410 --> 00:18:10.960
have this now. Hell, at this point, China doesn't
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.920
even need to really do anything to us. This this
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.039
whole Iran situation is possibly going to play
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.720
out to where, yeah, if we had something happen
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.240
here like that and a third or half of the country
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.960
lost power or fuck, God forbid, the whole fucking
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.819
country loses power. Self -inflicted. Yeah, it
00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:30.759
would be a self -inflicted wound at this point
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.460
because we started this bullshit. And granted,
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.529
the American people. Most of us are not in favor
00:18:38.529 --> 00:18:41.230
of this fucking conflict and had nothing to do
00:18:41.230 --> 00:18:43.690
with it. But we will be suffering the consequences
00:18:43.690 --> 00:18:46.029
of that. We will be suffering the consequences
00:18:46.029 --> 00:18:49.950
of the actions of people in charge. And that's
00:18:49.950 --> 00:18:53.109
why it's important to fucking, you know, not
00:18:53.109 --> 00:18:55.569
fall for the bullshit. Everybody fell for the
00:18:55.569 --> 00:18:58.849
bullshit. I hope people learn from this. Hey,
00:18:58.970 --> 00:19:02.730
man. No new wars. Gonna end wars. All this stuff.
00:19:02.809 --> 00:19:07.000
Now here we are. Fucking 18 months in. about
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.599
to fucking go into a full -blown hot well we
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.619
basically started world war three that's basically
00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:14.759
what i think this will be this will be like okay
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.980
the russia invading ukraine was the beginnings
00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:19.880
of it was the inklings of it this middle eastern
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.380
conflict is starting to suck in more countries
00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.440
in the middle east the gulf countries starting
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.039
to get on board with stuff the hooties or the
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:31.430
hooties in yemen I'm sure Allah is what they
00:19:31.430 --> 00:19:33.829
go by or whatever over there. That's their organization.
00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.690
They're the they've now made this a regional
00:19:36.690 --> 00:19:41.049
conflict. And by by by doing such, it's now going
00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:44.230
to make this a global conflict soon enough. And
00:19:44.230 --> 00:19:46.869
I think once we start hitting the Iranian infrastructure,
00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:49.230
that's when it's going to start getting real
00:19:49.230 --> 00:19:53.710
fucking ugly. And I hope. My hope is that this
00:19:53.710 --> 00:19:56.349
talk of all this shit is just them doing such
00:19:56.349 --> 00:19:58.549
talking shit. It's just running their mouth to
00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:00.250
try to get Iran to come back to the table and
00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:03.349
negotiate. I don't think negotiation is in the
00:20:03.349 --> 00:20:05.769
cards anymore. Like, I don't think the Iranians
00:20:05.769 --> 00:20:09.369
even care. They've literally sat and prepared
00:20:09.369 --> 00:20:13.210
for the last 47 years for this exact scenario
00:20:13.210 --> 00:20:17.490
to happen. There are. underground cities that
00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:19.789
are just like little honeycombs all throughout
00:20:19.789 --> 00:20:24.109
their fucking vast land that are just just there
00:20:24.109 --> 00:20:26.329
that's what they've been doing the last 47 years
00:20:26.329 --> 00:20:29.029
they've been building this shit for this exact
00:20:29.029 --> 00:20:33.029
fucking like contingency and we've walked into
00:20:33.029 --> 00:20:35.390
the trap and now they're fucking they're doing
00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:38.230
it they're they're the contingency is working
00:20:38.230 --> 00:20:42.069
the regime has survived a full decapitation strike
00:20:42.069 --> 00:20:47.000
it has survived The majority of its upper leadership
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.740
at the time the war started being fucking killed.
00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:54.119
And it's still going. It's still happening. So
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.720
that's what they've been waiting on. And I don't
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.099
believe for a second that they just would have
00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:03.779
been focusing on that. So I think that if we
00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:07.880
just get up and walk away, that's what I think
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.450
the move is. I think the solution to all this,
00:21:10.470 --> 00:21:12.589
at least for the United States to be better for
00:21:12.589 --> 00:21:16.109
us, is just to get up and walk away. Now, what
00:21:16.109 --> 00:21:19.690
does that do to us globally? Well, that ends
00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:21.650
the U .S. hedge money altogether. It's done.
00:21:21.750 --> 00:21:25.309
The petrodollar, done. We are past the point
00:21:25.309 --> 00:21:28.250
of no return where no matter what happens now,
00:21:28.430 --> 00:21:31.690
we will feel the effects of it and it will be
00:21:31.690 --> 00:21:35.500
bad. It depends how long this continues, how
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.579
bad it's going to be. But we're already past
00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:39.720
the point of no return. The petrodollar is fucking
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.059
toast. This has now proven that we cannot do
00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:49.079
what we said we can do. And unless we do completely
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.660
end up just decimating the fucking Iranian regime
00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:54.039
and reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.900
al -Mandab Strait by force, if we don't go in
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:01.420
at anything short of that, we're toast. So even
00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:04.400
if we get up now and walk away, the U .S. dollar's
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.579
dead. The petrodollar's done. Because now, what
00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:12.980
we're looked at by the rest of the world is now,
00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:16.019
okay, these guys kind of started this shit, and
00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:19.500
now they can't really finish it. We've been paying
00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:21.359
them and basically going along with their scheme
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.640
for protection. Well, if they can't even fucking
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.579
open up this fucking one waterway, how the fuck
00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:29.240
are we, what are we doing here? We need to go
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.240
to somewhere that's safer or somewhere that's
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.779
a safe bet. And that's China. That's the yuan.
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.579
That's the bricks, whatever the fuck they're
00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:42.660
going to come up with. And people are already,
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.299
countries are already starting to turn away from
00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.299
the petrodollar. Now, the Saudis are heavily
00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:53.099
relying upon it. The Qataris, the Omanis, the
00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:55.779
Emiratis, they're generally pretty heavily. We've
00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:57.460
gotten them into the system, the petrodollar
00:22:57.460 --> 00:23:01.519
system, and they're reliant. So they're probably
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.059
going to heavily be getting involved if this
00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:07.839
thing continues, because if it if it fails and
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.279
we don't take down Iran completely, then their
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.759
countries are probably going to be screwed for
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.609
a while. And they're going to have major financial
00:23:18.609 --> 00:23:20.230
problems just like we're going to have here.
00:23:20.769 --> 00:23:24.950
And that major financial problems are the death
00:23:24.950 --> 00:23:28.130
knell of any Middle Eastern regime, because how
00:23:28.130 --> 00:23:31.769
they usually take care of it, they just pay the
00:23:31.769 --> 00:23:34.230
populace more money. But you got to have money
00:23:34.230 --> 00:23:36.609
to do that. And if the fucking petrodollar turns
00:23:36.609 --> 00:23:39.369
to shit, their country currency turns to shit.
00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:41.569
And now they can't fucking give anybody more
00:23:41.569 --> 00:23:43.690
money because it doesn't matter how much money
00:23:43.690 --> 00:23:48.069
you give. You're fucked. And so why they pivoted
00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:53.029
to tourism. Yeah, that is because they well,
00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:55.730
they realize that, well, this this this game
00:23:55.730 --> 00:23:58.190
is probably up, but they're still going to have
00:23:58.190 --> 00:23:59.950
the problems. This shit is still going down.
00:24:00.009 --> 00:24:03.190
And if you look at an indicator of this shit,
00:24:03.250 --> 00:24:05.470
if you look at the guy who's the secretary of
00:24:05.470 --> 00:24:08.650
the Treasury, Scott Besant. He always looks like
00:24:08.650 --> 00:24:10.650
he's fucking worried or he's scared or he's about
00:24:10.650 --> 00:24:12.369
to take like he can't shit or something like
00:24:12.369 --> 00:24:15.029
he's constipated or whatever. He always has this
00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.809
fucking look of consternation on his face. And
00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:20.569
I think the reason for that is because he sees
00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:22.789
what's going on from the financial perspective.
00:24:23.369 --> 00:24:27.359
And who knows if he. understands or knows what's
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.099
going on on the the conflict or the the the fucking
00:24:30.099 --> 00:24:33.019
kinetic side but that's kind of irrelevant he
00:24:33.019 --> 00:24:35.319
can see what the results are on the fucking financial
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.500
side and and i think he's genuinely fucking concerned
00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:41.140
because this shit's all about to come this house
00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:43.079
of cards that we've built is about to come crashing
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:47.519
fucking down yeah and that's gonna be a fucking
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.339
gonna be a problem It's going to be a fucking
00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:52.460
problem. And in the United States, we are going
00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:55.279
to go through. And here's the thing who I don't
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.859
know. I they were saying about how the there
00:25:00.859 --> 00:25:03.220
was some fucking indicator. I forget which one
00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:05.259
it was, but they were talking about how. Oh,
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.200
yeah. If like this, if this thing, if the inflation
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.119
or something happens or hits a certain point,
00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:15.670
then we're basically, you know. Going into an
00:25:15.670 --> 00:25:18.509
unprecedented economic collapse that would be
00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:20.309
worse than the Great Depression and it would
00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:23.609
be on a global scale. And that's exactly literally
00:25:23.609 --> 00:25:25.930
where we're headed. Like we're literally headed
00:25:25.930 --> 00:25:28.170
towards that right now as we speak with this
00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:31.029
conflict continuing to keep going. And I don't
00:25:31.029 --> 00:25:33.289
know if people realize it or see it, but like
00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:36.470
today alone, you know, I just I was just driving
00:25:36.470 --> 00:25:38.789
through driving around and the cost of diesel
00:25:38.789 --> 00:25:40.710
here in Southern California is almost eight dollars
00:25:40.710 --> 00:25:44.759
a gallon again. gasoline is getting back up above
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:49.559
$6 a gallon again. And we're getting closer to
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.200
that point where now we have 308 million barrels
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.019
left in the strategic reserve. And as everything
00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:57.839
that's kind of now been starting to come out,
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.619
300 million barrels is that kind of cutoff where
00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:03.500
now we start getting into the problems of being
00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:06.420
able to refill it and being able to extract it.
00:26:06.970 --> 00:26:08.990
And the one thing that I didn't think about,
00:26:09.089 --> 00:26:11.150
which was I heard today was some guy kind of
00:26:11.150 --> 00:26:13.789
just brought it up and very briefly was that
00:26:13.789 --> 00:26:17.730
the quality of that low of that 300 million,
00:26:17.769 --> 00:26:20.109
that bottom 300 million barrels has been sitting
00:26:20.109 --> 00:26:23.829
in there for a long time. And the quality of
00:26:23.829 --> 00:26:27.569
it. Is very poor. So once we get below 300 million
00:26:27.569 --> 00:26:29.950
barrels. Now you start being able to not really
00:26:29.950 --> 00:26:32.869
do much with it. Now you can't really make those
00:26:32.869 --> 00:26:36.109
advanced jet fuels. That we use to make it out
00:26:36.109 --> 00:26:39.450
of crude oil. You can't really make regular gasoline
00:26:39.450 --> 00:26:42.930
out of it anymore. It's kind of a stretch to
00:26:42.930 --> 00:26:46.849
even make fucking diesel fuel out of it. So we
00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:49.190
only got 8 million barrels left. And we dropped
00:26:49.190 --> 00:26:51.410
another I think like 4 or 5 million this week.
00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.160
So we've got probably another week or two. Before
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:55.700
we start getting into the, okay, we're releasing
00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:59.380
the shit that's bad. So we are probably looking
00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:01.740
at like August, September. Probably September
00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:05.799
being when the fuel storages really start being
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.160
a problem. And there not being commercial availability.
00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:12.740
And the big thing is jet fuel. That's the big
00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:14.279
thing that's going to hurt us here. People ain't
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.039
going to be able to fly. Because you can't fly
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:17.519
if there ain't no fucking gas. Like if there
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.130
ain't no jet fuel, the plane can't go. So I have
00:27:21.130 --> 00:27:22.869
a feeling we're going to start seeing a lot of
00:27:22.869 --> 00:27:25.829
fucking problems start hitting when it comes
00:27:25.829 --> 00:27:29.430
to that in the next couple of months. And that's
00:27:29.430 --> 00:27:31.990
my thought and prediction, unless we can go in
00:27:31.990 --> 00:27:33.930
and just fucking by force open up the straight
00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:36.569
and get everything flowing. It's not going to
00:27:36.569 --> 00:27:37.849
be an instant fix. There's still going to be
00:27:37.849 --> 00:27:40.410
a little bit of strife and trouble, but it'll
00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:45.450
be better than nothing. So at any rate, it will
00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:47.589
affect us. It's going it's getting to that point
00:27:47.589 --> 00:27:51.019
now where this conflict. Afghanistan, Iraq, that
00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:53.039
shit really didn't fucking affect us here much
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.880
at home, right? And there is not a generation
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:01.799
that was really alive to see a war affect them
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.700
here in the United States at home, to affect
00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:08.400
us here. Vietnam, I mean, didn't really have
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.759
any economic or whatever. Yeah, we had people
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.400
protesting about peace and shit like that, but
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.700
there were really no major negative side effects.
00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:19.779
of vietnam right like we didn't have any major
00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:24.220
economic problems probably world war ii would
00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:26.539
have been the one that we the last generation
00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:30.759
that saw strife here due to a conflict Was probably
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.700
World War II. Because yes there were shortages
00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:35.119
of stuff. You had to start growing your own food.
00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:37.259
That's why they had the whole victory gardens
00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:39.299
thing. Because they had a shortage. Everything
00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:41.579
needed to go to the war effort. So cool. Grow
00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:43.380
your own food. That was what the government's
00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:45.400
fucking solution was. Just grow your own shit
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.420
in your yard. So we can send it overseas. All
00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:50.619
the other shit overseas to the troops. And feed
00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:54.119
them. So yeah that was people that were alive.
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:57.200
During World War II. And can remember. There's
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.869
very few of them left. So. Not a whole lot of
00:29:00.869 --> 00:29:03.269
people in the United States remember what it
00:29:03.269 --> 00:29:06.150
feels like to be affected in that way. And I
00:29:06.150 --> 00:29:08.230
think a lot of people are in for a rude awakening.
00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:12.910
And it's that meme that we always say, all the
00:29:12.910 --> 00:29:15.450
people who voted for fucking Trump, oh no, the
00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:18.890
consequences of my own actions. That's exactly
00:29:18.890 --> 00:29:21.089
what it is. It's the consequences of your own
00:29:21.089 --> 00:29:22.950
actions. Now they're coming back to bite us all
00:29:22.950 --> 00:29:25.450
in the ass. Because you guys thought it was a
00:29:25.450 --> 00:29:28.640
cool guy thing and you fell for the tricks. Drink
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.680
the Kool -Aid. Yep, drink the Kool -Aid. So anyways,
00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:34.519
I don't see it getting better. And my prediction
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:36.420
is that this weekend, I feel like this weekend
00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.720
is when it's going to hit. We're going to start
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.980
hitting those fucking targets, those infrastructure
00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:42.519
targets, and shit's going to pop off. I feel
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.400
like Saturday is probably like tomorrow night.
00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:48.500
I feel like it's going to happen. But we'll see.
00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:50.500
We'll see how it goes. Hopefully they're just
00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:53.359
talking shit. So anyways, I think that's all
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:54.759
I had to say about this. Do you have anything
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.490
else you want to add? oh man i have no idea i've
00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:04.869
been thinking about it where um i'm curious to
00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:09.809
know if nature itself or maybe it's just humans
00:30:09.809 --> 00:30:14.309
doing it because it's our in our nature to do
00:30:14.309 --> 00:30:18.430
it but fuck man i do wonder if it's that thing
00:30:18.430 --> 00:30:21.490
that everybody says it's like oh yeah the uh
00:30:23.210 --> 00:30:27.430
every so often we have a calling event like what
00:30:27.430 --> 00:30:30.329
what if what if uh every hundred years we really
00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:34.029
do have a calling event because the population
00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:39.990
at large is so untenable for humans that it just
00:30:39.990 --> 00:30:43.430
becomes problematic and i'm not saying i don't
00:30:43.430 --> 00:30:46.990
know if like nations organize for things to go
00:30:46.990 --> 00:30:55.480
uh For them to plan as if things could go wrong.
00:30:55.539 --> 00:31:01.660
Specifically for the U .S., right? There's 330
00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:04.180
million people. I don't even know what the actual
00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:07.140
number is of human beings within the United States
00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:11.779
that are citizens. So what do you do to curb
00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:17.160
our population? You instigate a war to crash
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.890
the economy. You allow corporations to purchase
00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:24.690
damn near everything and make obscene amount
00:31:24.690 --> 00:31:27.910
of money or obscene amount of money or obscene.
00:31:27.910 --> 00:31:30.289
Is it obscene or obscene? Obscene, yeah. Obscene
00:31:30.289 --> 00:31:33.630
amount of money. Obscene amounts of money. Obscene
00:31:33.630 --> 00:31:39.650
amounts of money. You have private corporations
00:31:39.650 --> 00:31:47.079
buying private farms. And then. You basically
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:51.420
invalidate our whole political system and have
00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:54.900
corporations kind of dictate what happens with
00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:59.460
it because they could basically influence any
00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:02.279
politician to do exactly what they want, which
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:03.799
is exactly what has happened. We're becoming
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:09.019
kind of like a dysfunctional government at this
00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:12.900
point. I mean, it's long overdue. It was, like,
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.160
a long time coming, basically. But all that really
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.640
to say that just within exclusively the United
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.160
States, you really didn't need to have mass murderings
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.819
or anything like that. I mean, that also happens
00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:27.539
to shootings and all that shit. But, like, if
00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:29.119
you really want to put the hurt on people, do
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.259
it economically, and they'll fucking find a way
00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:34.859
to kill themselves or do shit like that. I mean,
00:32:34.859 --> 00:32:37.369
because... It's been said that the number one
00:32:37.369 --> 00:32:39.450
reason for crime is usually poverty. So it's
00:32:39.450 --> 00:32:41.650
like when people go out and riot and do all like
00:32:41.650 --> 00:32:46.049
you're really inciting people to commit crime,
00:32:46.049 --> 00:32:48.650
violence, all that shit. So here we are. We're
00:32:48.650 --> 00:32:51.809
going to have that scenario if it was indirectly
00:32:51.809 --> 00:32:56.299
or directly. influenced by, I don't know if you
00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:57.900
want to call it the elite or the Illuminati or
00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:59.559
whatever the fuck you want to call it. And then
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.500
maybe it's not them at all. Maybe it's just kind
00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.559
of like the natural order of the world that it
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.680
just happens that way. But like, just speaking
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.220
about the U S specifically, like intentionally
00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:11.039
crashing the economy for, for people just to
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.480
really fucking feel it and potentially die. Like
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.420
we don't, we didn't need guns, dude. Like that's
00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:19.400
just going to be, I'm sure this whole funding
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.500
of like snap benefits being taken and wick and
00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:25.569
all this shit. That's going to hurt and kill
00:33:25.569 --> 00:33:29.109
a lot of kids already. Taking any kind of Medicare,
00:33:29.329 --> 00:33:33.069
another calling situation. Yeah, so I don't know.
00:33:33.329 --> 00:33:35.170
Well, I think that you're right. I think you're
00:33:35.170 --> 00:33:37.150
right on the money, and I think that it all ties
00:33:37.150 --> 00:33:40.190
in. If you make it so that people can't afford
00:33:40.190 --> 00:33:42.690
to fucking eat, and then you turn off the fucking
00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:45.609
power, that's a recipe for fucking disaster.
00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:51.990
And the problem is we're too fucking stupid as
00:33:51.990 --> 00:33:58.039
a whole. To realize what's going on and to unite
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.240
together. And I've said this before a thousand
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.859
times. It doesn't matter. Black, white, yellow,
00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:10.179
green, Jew, non -Jew, Muslim, whatever. The fucking
00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:14.880
biggest dividing color is green. It's money.
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.650
It's the haves and the have -nots. And there's
00:34:17.650 --> 00:34:20.289
always more of us have -nots, the peasant class.
00:34:20.630 --> 00:34:23.030
There's way more of us than there is of the elite
00:34:23.030 --> 00:34:25.670
ruling class. And at least here in America, we
00:34:25.670 --> 00:34:28.050
own the most guns per capita of any fucking country
00:34:28.050 --> 00:34:30.929
on the planet. And the whole reason our whole
00:34:30.929 --> 00:34:33.949
existence was created was like, hey, if the government
00:34:33.949 --> 00:34:35.389
starts fucking up, you guys should have these
00:34:35.389 --> 00:34:37.389
things so you can fucking kill them all and take
00:34:37.389 --> 00:34:39.730
over and reset this shit. That's the whole point.
00:34:40.190 --> 00:34:44.809
And here we are. Even fucking the Civil War back
00:34:44.809 --> 00:34:48.210
in the 1800s, it wasn't over. It was over fucking
00:34:48.210 --> 00:34:50.750
business. It was a it was economic. It was a
00:34:50.750 --> 00:34:53.650
business fucking reason because of slavery. And
00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:55.289
they didn't want to give up the slaves because
00:34:55.289 --> 00:34:57.690
they wanted the free fucking labor so they can
00:34:57.690 --> 00:35:00.769
make huge profits. That corporatism was already
00:35:00.769 --> 00:35:03.670
existing back then in fucking the 1800s. It was
00:35:03.670 --> 00:35:05.469
just a plantation owner instead of a corporation.
00:35:05.489 --> 00:35:11.110
Right. So it's it's become a much bigger and
00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:16.440
much worse monster than even that. And so if
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.280
we all could just figure it out and band together
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.179
and realize, oh, that's the problem. It's the
00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:23.000
it's the fucking top one percent or five percent
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.159
or whatever. Those are the fucking that's the
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:26.840
problem. Cool. We got to get rid of that shit.
00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:28.860
We got to get rid of these huge corporations
00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:30.840
and we got to stop their era. We don't need to
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.320
get rid of them, maybe, but we need to stop their
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.599
influence. Right. And so I think that it all
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.940
ties in to put a nice little tight bow on it
00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:41.619
is this is coming. This is the coming end of
00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:43.860
an empire. Right. Our American empire is coming
00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:47.610
to an end. This grand experiment of the United
00:35:47.610 --> 00:35:51.690
States was fucking great for 200 fucking years,
00:35:51.829 --> 00:35:55.230
250 years almost. And now it has kind of started
00:35:55.230 --> 00:35:57.050
to go off of the fucking rails. Yeah, it makes
00:35:57.050 --> 00:36:00.050
me wonder if it was too big to work, like if
00:36:00.050 --> 00:36:03.530
it should have just been territories like I don't
00:36:03.530 --> 00:36:06.030
want to like point to the movie Civil War, but
00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:08.409
I don't know. Maybe the union was just too much
00:36:08.409 --> 00:36:11.070
of a big dream. Maybe it should have been like
00:36:11.070 --> 00:36:14.480
Europe where. every individual country is its
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.039
own state and nation but there was a collective
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:20.500
I mean I guess it would be like in my estimation
00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:23.920
it would be like Cascadia as people have mentioned
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:27.579
like Seattle Washington California maybe Arizona
00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:30.320
and Nevada would be included in that yeah that
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.659
would be one region and then Texas would be its
00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:37.400
own thing yeah but we all would operate in similar
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.760
mindsets I mean if people in Texas and Oklahoma
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:47.460
and Louisiana and fucking whatever adjacent states
00:36:47.460 --> 00:36:50.099
want to align and do that. Maybe that should
00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:51.800
have been the way to go from the get -go because
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.920
as it is right now, it ain't fucking working.
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:57.880
It ain't fucking working. And it ain't going
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.699
to matter soon enough, it seems like. So anyways,
00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:03.380
all right, well, that's all I had. So you got
00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:05.500
anything else you want to add? All right, we'll
00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:08.079
call it a day. Go find us on all our shit. You
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.159
know where to go. We'll catch you guys on...
00:37:33.929 --> 00:37:37.730

Welcome to the dumbest smart guy podcast on the
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:18.140
planet. This is the Central Unintelligence Podcast.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.140
An all -new episode of the Central Unintelligence
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.960
Podcast. As always, my name is Josh, and I'm
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.320
here today with good buddy Adam. Yes, hello.
00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:51.939
So, actually, let me pull this up a little. This
00:00:51.939 --> 00:00:54.780
episode originally, we tried to record a week
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.679
ago. Oh, we're starting over. Yeah, we're just
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.859
starting over. Okay. Because I've sort of changed
00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.179
things a little bit, but I wanted to give the
00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:02.539
context. So we originally recorded this episode,
00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.219
and it was originally called, What is the Strategy
00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.260
Here in Iran? And now, we're going to talk about
00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.010
that a little bit. I changed the name of the
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.329
episode to how does this affect LeBron's legacy?
00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:18.409
My favorite question, dude. You could you could
00:01:18.409 --> 00:01:22.590
tie that into anything, dude. And the reason.
00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:25.510
The reason is because, like, that's something
00:01:25.510 --> 00:01:28.469
that Adam always fucking says, and I fucking
00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:32.170
say it now. And it's in regards to, like, if
00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:33.390
you're talking about some shit, just anything
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:34.689
random, you just go, yeah, but how does this
00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:35.909
affect LeBron's legacy? It's like the Ja Rule
00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:41.489
shit, dude. It's like, oh, my God, what is Ja
00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:45.000
Rule? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, the invasion
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.959
of Iran or the war in Iran. What does Ja Rule
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.840
think about this, though? That really matters.
00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:55.379
Like, yeah. So and part of that is like, yeah,
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.799
it's funny. And also because there is an aspect
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.180
of like, OK, yeah, people asking about LeBron's
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:04.500
legacy, like with inserting it into anything.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.099
That's just like a selfish like thing. you know,
00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:09.520
to say like, yeah, but how does this affect me?
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.180
Right. And so like, that's kind of what we're
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.460
also going to talk about because it ties into
00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:18.479
stuff that I've been saying for literally years.
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.860
And now I think we're really starting to get
00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:24.580
into the high realm of possibility, or I should
00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:30.810
say probability, a high probability or. decent
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:33.110
probability that that something's going to happen
00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:36.030
that's going to really, really affect us here
00:02:36.030 --> 00:02:40.490
in the United States. And so in things change
00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:42.990
in this conflict on a daily basis, right? Like
00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:47.069
literally day to day shit changes. And in relation
00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:51.159
to the previous episode we did. Things have changed
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.199
even since then when we started. And the reason
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.900
why we started the episode last week and then
00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:56.719
the power went out, we were like fucking 20 minutes
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.379
in and the power went out and my power was out
00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:01.139
for like, I don't know, like four or five hours.
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.259
So we ended up not getting to finish. And this
00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:04.919
is the first chance we've had to like sit down
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.979
and actually meet up again to like do more episodes
00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:12.939
since then. So in context of what we talked about
00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:14.719
last time, just to kind of wrap it up a little
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.610
bit, sum it up a little was the. Multitudes of
00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:20.389
reports that were running out of interceptor
00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:22.969
missiles that were running out of the Patriot
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:29.210
missile system. I briefly went into how the Patriot
00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:32.330
missile system costs delivered to the Middle
00:03:32.330 --> 00:03:34.650
East between six and twelve million dollars.
00:03:35.009 --> 00:03:38.610
And we generally fire at least three projectiles
00:03:38.610 --> 00:03:40.590
at whatever it is we're trying to shoot down,
00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:43.129
whether it be a missile or whether it be now
00:03:43.129 --> 00:03:47.759
a lot of. Other countries that were using it
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.479
were being pretty undisciplined with it and they
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.400
were using it to shoot down drones, which if
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.500
you're going to use it to shoot down like $150
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:58.439
,000 or $200 ,000 drone, you're going to literally
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.000
throw $18 million in missiles at it just to hit
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.939
it. That's a terrible idea. And that's kind of
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:07.180
why we're in the situation that we're in. Iran
00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:09.479
has been shooting off their missiles, right?
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.599
And those missiles are a lot cheaper than $12
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.879
million fucking dollars a piece. It's not really
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.339
costing them much in the way of doing it. So
00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:22.759
we're sending $18 to $36 million, depending on
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:27.800
where the location is, to shoot down one missile,
00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:32.300
one ballistic missile from Iran or the Houthis
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:36.399
or whoever. Can I throw something? Yeah. All
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.899
right, man. What do you think about... For us,
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:43.079
right, to have all these private company, well,
00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.620
not private companies, but companies like Northrop
00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:47.879
Grumman. Yeah. Lockheed and Martin, all this
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.500
shit. And now that we're finding out that Iran
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.399
is able to do warfare cheaper, who does it really
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.639
benefit to. Have like these expensive fighters
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.180
now at this point, if warfare has kind of changed.
00:05:05.829 --> 00:05:08.110
completely right if it costs like 10 million
00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:10.910
dollars to make an f -35 or an f -15 or whatever
00:05:10.910 --> 00:05:16.670
it's like are we really using those at this point
00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:22.050
and uh for the way that iran is fighting like
00:05:22.050 --> 00:05:25.970
kind of putting the universal hurt on all of
00:05:25.970 --> 00:05:29.290
us with this oil shit and the straight up hormuz
00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:31.709
they don't actually have to do anything like
00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:34.329
so i don't know if i know those are kind of like
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.100
unrelated things but maybe they are but just
00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:42.220
i i feel like uh what does it really benefit
00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:46.300
for us to have uh fighter jets that are worth
00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:48.639
10 or you know if it's like a billion dollars
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.319
or whatever the fuck it costs to make a whole
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.879
fleet of those things like so what dude yeah
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.839
well exactly well now at this point we are getting
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.259
into and this is where we're getting into that
00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:06.730
point of Of the military industrial complex.
00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:09.750
Like he literally. Pointed that out. And I've
00:06:09.750 --> 00:06:11.569
talked about that before. And if you don't fucking
00:06:11.569 --> 00:06:13.310
believe me. You can go back and watch Eisenhower's
00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:16.209
fucking. Leave an office speech. That he gave
00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:19.370
in 1950 something. Or whenever the fuck it was.
00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:25.310
And. The reason why is because. Our military
00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:29.230
budget for 2027. Is 1 .5 trillion dollars. Is
00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:32.389
what they're going to spend. One and a half trillion
00:06:32.389 --> 00:06:38.050
dollars. That's one thousand million dollars
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:40.449
plus another five hundred fucking million dollars
00:06:40.449 --> 00:06:42.329
or billion. I mean, I'm sorry. That's a thousand
00:06:42.329 --> 00:06:45.350
billion plus another five hundred billion. Yeah,
00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:49.810
that's fucking crazy. And what are we spending
00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:52.170
it on? If you look at the they always say that
00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:53.829
thing about the Pentagon never fucking can pass
00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:56.069
an audit. And the reason for that is because
00:06:56.069 --> 00:07:00.310
there's three companies charging seven thousand
00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.209
dollars for one single three eighths wrench.
00:07:03.769 --> 00:07:05.470
Right. Like, I mean, it's that's kind of like
00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:07.829
the level and that's probably an over exaggerated
00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:10.129
and a facetious type of answer, but it's not
00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:14.370
far off. They're charging for one nut or a rivet
00:07:14.370 --> 00:07:17.170
on a plane. It's nine hundred dollars. Right.
00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:19.649
And they need two thousand rivets or whatever
00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:21.889
on something. And it's nine hundred dollars a
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.209
rivet. That's how these weapon systems become
00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:27.389
so inflated. And if you look at there's a reason
00:07:27.389 --> 00:07:30.110
why all the defense contractor stocks always
00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:32.209
go up as soon as they get a contract, because
00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:35.990
it's. instantaneous huge amounts of profit because
00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:38.689
they do shit on the super super cheap and they
00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:42.709
charge 50 times or a hundred times the price
00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:47.230
of what it cost to do it right and so this is
00:07:47.230 --> 00:07:49.670
when now the face of warfare is changing technology
00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:54.259
has the what is it the um The shrinking of technology
00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:57.180
and the higher level of access to it that everyone
00:07:57.180 --> 00:08:00.379
has now has changed the face of warfare. Drones,
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.160
all this shit on the cheap, cheap missiles, cheap
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.399
drones. That's the future of warfare. Disinformation,
00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:09.959
propaganda. Right. Electronic warfare, you know,
00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:12.259
hacking, that kind of stuff. That's free. Hacking
00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:14.240
is free. It doesn't cost anything. Yeah, you
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.620
got to have some computers and shit, but it's
00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:18.060
basically free. Uh, what is there something flying
00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.740
around? Oh yeah. Don't mind me. I'm just trying
00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:21.959
to keep track of mosquito. Cause I think it bit
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.060
me. Oh, son of a bitch. Anyways. That's why that's
00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:27.439
the drawbacks of the garage studio. Yeah. Um,
00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:31.579
but anyways, uh, there was something that recently
00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:34.659
just happened and this is a good example of the
00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:37.600
Navy just did like an exercise for the submarine
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.559
fleet readiness and they did not like the results.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.200
Um, it's, it's coming out basically that the
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.820
fleets are not, the submarine fleet is not, for
00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:51.740
any kind of major conflict. And an example of
00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:55.139
that being our logistical shit has fucking gone
00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.580
awry because we spend too much money on these
00:08:57.580 --> 00:09:00.500
stupid -ass fucking weapons platforms that these
00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.720
companies could make, yeah, maybe a 3 or 4x profit,
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.039
or maybe even a 5 or 10x profit would be cool,
00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:08.059
but instead they want to make a 100x profit,
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.700
and now we're in this situation where we've got
00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:12.279
to spend so much fucking money that we don't
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.080
have, and we're really not getting decent quality
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.090
stuff anymore. Um, one of the big things with
00:09:19.090 --> 00:09:21.950
this and this this shit is there was there was
00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:25.610
a I think it was the USS. I don't know. Some
00:09:25.610 --> 00:09:29.029
I think it was Ohio or some fucking Midwest state
00:09:29.029 --> 00:09:31.830
or city name. I forget which one it was, but
00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.409
it was a Los Angeles class attack submarine.
00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:38.230
And in 2017, it went in dry dock to go get its
00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:44.389
service done. And by like 20. they were like,
00:09:44.450 --> 00:09:46.570
the Navy basically just said it lost its dive
00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:47.909
certification because it had been out of the
00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:50.090
water for over two years. The Navy just said,
00:09:50.129 --> 00:09:54.990
we don't have any reliable timeline of when this
00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:56.970
is going to get in just to get the basic maintenance
00:09:56.970 --> 00:10:00.100
on it done. Right. Like the the dry dock maintenance
00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:01.840
that needs to be performed on every fucking Navy
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.340
ship every like, you know, few years. They didn't
00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.919
have a time frame of when it could get the service
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.460
done. So they just fucking mothballed it and
00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:11.799
they just fucking took it out of service. So
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.899
we have a really big problem with our naval fleet
00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:19.019
not getting the service it needs and having the
00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:27.759
backlog of of getting that service done. Everybody
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.320
was always the quality, they're pieces of shit.
00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:33.059
Yeah, you can have. OK, that's that's been true.
00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:37.600
But now coming into the mid 2020s now and we're
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.379
really heading towards the late 2020s, the qualitative
00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:44.279
advantage that we have had is starting to diminish
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.899
greatly. And we're beginning to see that wane.
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:55.340
So getting into, OK, how does this now? affect
00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:58.320
us here like how does that affect us in the United
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.600
States and how does this affect our how does
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.139
this affect LeBron's legacy basically is what
00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:06.840
we're fucking talking about and I believe like
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.879
right now the current what it's looking like
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.419
right now is that sometime in the next couple
00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:14.600
of days I think as early as tomorrow which is
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.360
Saturday August 1st I think that we're going
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.139
to see a the rumor is that there's been strike
00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:26.620
packages approved to just decimate Iran's civilian
00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:30.840
infrastructure, that they are going to just decimate
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:36.080
that shit and try to get Iran to come back to
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.639
the table. And if that doesn't work, which it
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.340
won't, then they're going to just basically spend
00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:43.980
two weeks. They have another two week plan where
00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:46.299
they're just going to basically bomb Iran for
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:48.440
24 hours a day straight for two fucking weeks.
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.220
That's that's like the plan. Essentially, that's
00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:53.500
that's what's been kind of coming out now. Could
00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:56.500
all just be bullshit. Who knows? But with the
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.120
way these things have been going, these leaks
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.659
have been happening and they turn out to generally
00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:02.659
be like true. I wouldn't fucking put it past
00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:04.539
them to believe that this is a viable fucking
00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:10.620
option. And with that being said, we have had
00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:13.519
problems here in the United States in the past
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:19.309
of just. unchecked fucking people coming in,
00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:21.629
right? Which, again, I think we should just let
00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:23.409
everybody in and we should just have an easy
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:27.169
process that's not, you know, fucking super restrictive.
00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:29.690
Just let people come in. It'll all be good. We
00:12:29.690 --> 00:12:33.129
won't have to worry about this shit. But I don't
00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:37.870
think that it's far -fetched to see... our own
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.570
infrastructure here be attacked and not with
00:12:40.570 --> 00:12:42.549
a cyber attack i'm talking about i mean that
00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:45.549
is possible it has happened in the last day in
00:12:45.549 --> 00:12:48.629
the last 24 hours it's come out that seven states
00:12:48.629 --> 00:12:52.289
were cyber attacked for their water infrastructure
00:12:52.289 --> 00:12:55.009
minnesota being the one that came out as the
00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:58.850
first one 30 municipalities including cities
00:12:58.850 --> 00:13:00.450
and counties and i don't know what they have
00:13:00.450 --> 00:13:03.070
like fucking not counties over there it's like
00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:05.799
uh I don't know what they call them, like townships
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:10.519
or whatever, like 30 major areas in of water
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.500
systems. Their infrastructure was breached and
00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:16.320
it's not really coming out what the extent was,
00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.000
whether it was service interruptions, whether
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.620
it was the, you know, filtration stuff that we
00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:24.620
rely heavily upon, if that was affected at all.
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.909
But. minnesota and seven other or six other states
00:13:28.909 --> 00:13:31.389
supposedly had this happen and the fbi is investigating
00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:33.710
it and everyone's pointing to iran trump came
00:13:33.710 --> 00:13:36.590
out and said oh it wasn't iran he says it was
00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:40.509
the corrupt governor of uh minnesota and you
00:13:40.509 --> 00:13:43.110
know yeah basically and he was just blaming it
00:13:43.110 --> 00:13:46.340
on the governor and his corruption and that's
00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:49.679
why these water uh things went down which when
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.659
he says shit like that that makes me then further
00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:53.480
believe oh yeah fucking iran definitely probably
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.659
had something to do with this now iran is not
00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:58.679
like a powerhouse of like what's the word um
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.860
technological capability they have competent
00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:06.139
cyber attack capabilities but they're not the
00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:11.250
best um Our shit here is just so weak and our
00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:13.850
infrastructure is so bad that it's not really
00:14:13.850 --> 00:14:17.009
difficult to do this type of stuff cyber attack
00:14:17.009 --> 00:14:21.330
wise. I am still and one of the things that and
00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:24.870
I've started to hear this. And I've been saying
00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:26.570
this for years, but I've started to hear this
00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:29.330
now in come out and kind of like the starting
00:14:29.330 --> 00:14:31.149
to be in the mainstream stuff of people talking
00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:35.190
about where a physical attack on the power grid.
00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:38.429
Is not out of the realm of possibility that there's
00:14:38.429 --> 00:14:41.350
a lot of very competent, high level intelligence
00:14:41.350 --> 00:14:45.210
agency people that really this is like the thing
00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:47.470
that keeps them up at night is the fact that
00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:50.570
our infrastructure is so unprotected. It's so
00:14:50.570 --> 00:14:55.309
easily accessible. Maybe just a chain link fence
00:14:55.309 --> 00:14:57.490
with barbed wires blocking our major hubs. And
00:14:57.490 --> 00:15:00.850
as we've talked about before, there's only about
00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:03.590
12 major hubs throughout the whole United States.
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.059
that if you take down, really there's like three
00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:08.899
to four real important ones, and if you take
00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:12.000
one of them down, you will essentially lose power
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.059
to a third to the half of the United States.
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.519
We'll just lose power if one of those major hubs
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.860
is hit. And again, they're not very well guarded.
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.019
This is not a secret. All it would take, and
00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.460
again, the thing coming out is, all it would
00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:27.980
take is maybe seven, eight guys with fucking
00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:32.220
AK -47s to just go and shoot it up. As we've
00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:35.980
talked about in previous episodes regarding China
00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:38.960
and the threat that they could potentially pose,
00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:41.500
we've talked about that happening here, where
00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.679
there have been instances where small power stations,
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.299
multiple times in multiple different locations
00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:49.480
throughout the United States and over the course
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.039
of several years, there had been incidences where
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.759
there were... little small power areas and power
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.279
stations that were attacked by gunfire and nothing
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.279
was ever found no no one was ever no no harm
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.940
was ever or not no harm but no perpetrators were
00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:09.059
ever taken into custody uh because some dudes
00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:11.120
just came out of the woods and just opened fire
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.679
on it and then left um that is something that's
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.519
not out of the realm of possibility that could
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.279
happen and are there could there very well be
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:28.039
Couple hundred, you know, Iranian guys that once
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.379
we started, once we killed Khomeini back in during
00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:34.639
the first trumpet or not Khomeini, general, fuck
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.480
the Soleimani, the general that Trump drone struck
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.440
or whatever back during his first term. Did they
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.399
just finally say, OK, we've been preparing for
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.120
a conflict with the United States or the West
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.139
essentially for the last 47 years. Maybe we need
00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:53.279
to start, instead of just focusing on defense,
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.379
maybe we need to focus on an offensive capability.
00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.820
And I would not put it out of the realm of possibility
00:16:57.820 --> 00:17:01.820
that they sent some people over here. Again,
00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:03.940
it's not hard to cross the border, either northern
00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.920
or southern, and it's not hard to come across,
00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:09.900
you know, just come off of a container ship going
00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:12.279
up one of the coasts on a small little dinghy
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.900
craft and then just land anywhere along the eastern
00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:18.839
or western seaboard. and just walk right in with
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.880
backpacks and fucking shit full of AK -47s and
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.599
fucking ammunition. It's not difficult. And cash.
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.779
It's not out of the realm of possibility. And
00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:33.140
I'm starting to believe that it's going to be
00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:35.119
something that could very well likely happen.
00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:38.380
And as we've talked about in the past, if that
00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:40.369
is something that happens here... it's going
00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:42.210
to be years before that power is able to come
00:17:42.210 --> 00:17:44.730
back on. I mean, we're talking literal years.
00:17:45.009 --> 00:17:49.609
And now, maybe even never. Because guess who
00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:52.349
controls all the rare earth elements that are
00:17:52.349 --> 00:17:55.369
needed to make those fucking Transformers and
00:17:55.369 --> 00:17:59.250
to make those things? It's China. They now have
00:17:59.250 --> 00:18:02.470
their finger on the tap to be able to say, and
00:18:02.470 --> 00:18:04.269
they're already doing it to us. No, no, you guys
00:18:04.269 --> 00:18:05.410
can't have this. We're not going to let you guys
00:18:05.410 --> 00:18:10.960
have this now. Hell, at this point, China doesn't
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.920
even need to really do anything to us. This this
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.039
whole Iran situation is possibly going to play
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.720
out to where, yeah, if we had something happen
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.240
here like that and a third or half of the country
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.960
lost power or fuck, God forbid, the whole fucking
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.819
country loses power. Self -inflicted. Yeah, it
00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:30.759
would be a self -inflicted wound at this point
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.460
because we started this bullshit. And granted,
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.529
the American people. Most of us are not in favor
00:18:38.529 --> 00:18:41.230
of this fucking conflict and had nothing to do
00:18:41.230 --> 00:18:43.690
with it. But we will be suffering the consequences
00:18:43.690 --> 00:18:46.029
of that. We will be suffering the consequences
00:18:46.029 --> 00:18:49.950
of the actions of people in charge. And that's
00:18:49.950 --> 00:18:53.109
why it's important to fucking, you know, not
00:18:53.109 --> 00:18:55.569
fall for the bullshit. Everybody fell for the
00:18:55.569 --> 00:18:58.849
bullshit. I hope people learn from this. Hey,
00:18:58.970 --> 00:19:02.730
man. No new wars. Gonna end wars. All this stuff.
00:19:02.809 --> 00:19:07.000
Now here we are. Fucking 18 months in. about
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.599
to fucking go into a full -blown hot well we
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.619
basically started world war three that's basically
00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:14.759
what i think this will be this will be like okay
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.980
the russia invading ukraine was the beginnings
00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:19.880
of it was the inklings of it this middle eastern
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.380
conflict is starting to suck in more countries
00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.440
in the middle east the gulf countries starting
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.039
to get on board with stuff the hooties or the
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:31.430
hooties in yemen I'm sure Allah is what they
00:19:31.430 --> 00:19:33.829
go by or whatever over there. That's their organization.
00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.690
They're the they've now made this a regional
00:19:36.690 --> 00:19:41.049
conflict. And by by by doing such, it's now going
00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:44.230
to make this a global conflict soon enough. And
00:19:44.230 --> 00:19:46.869
I think once we start hitting the Iranian infrastructure,
00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:49.230
that's when it's going to start getting real
00:19:49.230 --> 00:19:53.710
fucking ugly. And I hope. My hope is that this
00:19:53.710 --> 00:19:56.349
talk of all this shit is just them doing such
00:19:56.349 --> 00:19:58.549
talking shit. It's just running their mouth to
00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:00.250
try to get Iran to come back to the table and
00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:03.349
negotiate. I don't think negotiation is in the
00:20:03.349 --> 00:20:05.769
cards anymore. Like, I don't think the Iranians
00:20:05.769 --> 00:20:09.369
even care. They've literally sat and prepared
00:20:09.369 --> 00:20:13.210
for the last 47 years for this exact scenario
00:20:13.210 --> 00:20:17.490
to happen. There are. underground cities that
00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:19.789
are just like little honeycombs all throughout
00:20:19.789 --> 00:20:24.109
their fucking vast land that are just just there
00:20:24.109 --> 00:20:26.329
that's what they've been doing the last 47 years
00:20:26.329 --> 00:20:29.029
they've been building this shit for this exact
00:20:29.029 --> 00:20:33.029
fucking like contingency and we've walked into
00:20:33.029 --> 00:20:35.390
the trap and now they're fucking they're doing
00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:38.230
it they're they're the contingency is working
00:20:38.230 --> 00:20:42.069
the regime has survived a full decapitation strike
00:20:42.069 --> 00:20:47.000
it has survived The majority of its upper leadership
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.740
at the time the war started being fucking killed.
00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:54.119
And it's still going. It's still happening. So
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.720
that's what they've been waiting on. And I don't
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.099
believe for a second that they just would have
00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:03.779
been focusing on that. So I think that if we
00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:07.880
just get up and walk away, that's what I think
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.450
the move is. I think the solution to all this,
00:21:10.470 --> 00:21:12.589
at least for the United States to be better for
00:21:12.589 --> 00:21:16.109
us, is just to get up and walk away. Now, what
00:21:16.109 --> 00:21:19.690
does that do to us globally? Well, that ends
00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:21.650
the U .S. hedge money altogether. It's done.
00:21:21.750 --> 00:21:25.309
The petrodollar, done. We are past the point
00:21:25.309 --> 00:21:28.250
of no return where no matter what happens now,
00:21:28.430 --> 00:21:31.690
we will feel the effects of it and it will be
00:21:31.690 --> 00:21:35.500
bad. It depends how long this continues, how
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.579
bad it's going to be. But we're already past
00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:39.720
the point of no return. The petrodollar is fucking
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.059
toast. This has now proven that we cannot do
00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:49.079
what we said we can do. And unless we do completely
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.660
end up just decimating the fucking Iranian regime
00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:54.039
and reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.900
al -Mandab Strait by force, if we don't go in
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:01.420
at anything short of that, we're toast. So even
00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:04.400
if we get up now and walk away, the U .S. dollar's
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.579
dead. The petrodollar's done. Because now, what
00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:12.980
we're looked at by the rest of the world is now,
00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:16.019
okay, these guys kind of started this shit, and
00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:19.500
now they can't really finish it. We've been paying
00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:21.359
them and basically going along with their scheme
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.640
for protection. Well, if they can't even fucking
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.579
open up this fucking one waterway, how the fuck
00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:29.240
are we, what are we doing here? We need to go
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.240
to somewhere that's safer or somewhere that's
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:34.779
a safe bet. And that's China. That's the yuan.
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.579
That's the bricks, whatever the fuck they're
00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:42.660
going to come up with. And people are already,
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.299
countries are already starting to turn away from
00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.299
the petrodollar. Now, the Saudis are heavily
00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:53.099
relying upon it. The Qataris, the Omanis, the
00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:55.779
Emiratis, they're generally pretty heavily. We've
00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:57.460
gotten them into the system, the petrodollar
00:22:57.460 --> 00:23:01.519
system, and they're reliant. So they're probably
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.059
going to heavily be getting involved if this
00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:07.839
thing continues, because if it if it fails and
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.279
we don't take down Iran completely, then their
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.759
countries are probably going to be screwed for
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.609
a while. And they're going to have major financial
00:23:18.609 --> 00:23:20.230
problems just like we're going to have here.
00:23:20.769 --> 00:23:24.950
And that major financial problems are the death
00:23:24.950 --> 00:23:28.130
knell of any Middle Eastern regime, because how
00:23:28.130 --> 00:23:31.769
they usually take care of it, they just pay the
00:23:31.769 --> 00:23:34.230
populace more money. But you got to have money
00:23:34.230 --> 00:23:36.609
to do that. And if the fucking petrodollar turns
00:23:36.609 --> 00:23:39.369
to shit, their country currency turns to shit.
00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:41.569
And now they can't fucking give anybody more
00:23:41.569 --> 00:23:43.690
money because it doesn't matter how much money
00:23:43.690 --> 00:23:48.069
you give. You're fucked. And so why they pivoted
00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:53.029
to tourism. Yeah, that is because they well,
00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:55.730
they realize that, well, this this this game
00:23:55.730 --> 00:23:58.190
is probably up, but they're still going to have
00:23:58.190 --> 00:23:59.950
the problems. This shit is still going down.
00:24:00.009 --> 00:24:03.190
And if you look at an indicator of this shit,
00:24:03.250 --> 00:24:05.470
if you look at the guy who's the secretary of
00:24:05.470 --> 00:24:08.650
the Treasury, Scott Besant. He always looks like
00:24:08.650 --> 00:24:10.650
he's fucking worried or he's scared or he's about
00:24:10.650 --> 00:24:12.369
to take like he can't shit or something like
00:24:12.369 --> 00:24:15.029
he's constipated or whatever. He always has this
00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.809
fucking look of consternation on his face. And
00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:20.569
I think the reason for that is because he sees
00:24:20.569 --> 00:24:22.789
what's going on from the financial perspective.
00:24:23.369 --> 00:24:27.359
And who knows if he. understands or knows what's
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.099
going on on the the conflict or the the the fucking
00:24:30.099 --> 00:24:33.019
kinetic side but that's kind of irrelevant he
00:24:33.019 --> 00:24:35.319
can see what the results are on the fucking financial
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:38.500
side and and i think he's genuinely fucking concerned
00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:41.140
because this shit's all about to come this house
00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:43.079
of cards that we've built is about to come crashing
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:47.519
fucking down yeah and that's gonna be a fucking
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.339
gonna be a problem It's going to be a fucking
00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:52.460
problem. And in the United States, we are going
00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:55.279
to go through. And here's the thing who I don't
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.859
know. I they were saying about how the there
00:25:00.859 --> 00:25:03.220
was some fucking indicator. I forget which one
00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:05.259
it was, but they were talking about how. Oh,
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.200
yeah. If like this, if this thing, if the inflation
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.119
or something happens or hits a certain point,
00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:15.670
then we're basically, you know. Going into an
00:25:15.670 --> 00:25:18.509
unprecedented economic collapse that would be
00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:20.309
worse than the Great Depression and it would
00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:23.609
be on a global scale. And that's exactly literally
00:25:23.609 --> 00:25:25.930
where we're headed. Like we're literally headed
00:25:25.930 --> 00:25:28.170
towards that right now as we speak with this
00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:31.029
conflict continuing to keep going. And I don't
00:25:31.029 --> 00:25:33.289
know if people realize it or see it, but like
00:25:33.289 --> 00:25:36.470
today alone, you know, I just I was just driving
00:25:36.470 --> 00:25:38.789
through driving around and the cost of diesel
00:25:38.789 --> 00:25:40.710
here in Southern California is almost eight dollars
00:25:40.710 --> 00:25:44.759
a gallon again. gasoline is getting back up above
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:49.559
$6 a gallon again. And we're getting closer to
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.200
that point where now we have 308 million barrels
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.019
left in the strategic reserve. And as everything
00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:57.839
that's kind of now been starting to come out,
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.619
300 million barrels is that kind of cutoff where
00:26:00.619 --> 00:26:03.500
now we start getting into the problems of being
00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:06.420
able to refill it and being able to extract it.
00:26:06.970 --> 00:26:08.990
And the one thing that I didn't think about,
00:26:09.089 --> 00:26:11.150
which was I heard today was some guy kind of
00:26:11.150 --> 00:26:13.789
just brought it up and very briefly was that
00:26:13.789 --> 00:26:17.730
the quality of that low of that 300 million,
00:26:17.769 --> 00:26:20.109
that bottom 300 million barrels has been sitting
00:26:20.109 --> 00:26:23.829
in there for a long time. And the quality of
00:26:23.829 --> 00:26:27.569
it. Is very poor. So once we get below 300 million
00:26:27.569 --> 00:26:29.950
barrels. Now you start being able to not really
00:26:29.950 --> 00:26:32.869
do much with it. Now you can't really make those
00:26:32.869 --> 00:26:36.109
advanced jet fuels. That we use to make it out
00:26:36.109 --> 00:26:39.450
of crude oil. You can't really make regular gasoline
00:26:39.450 --> 00:26:42.930
out of it anymore. It's kind of a stretch to
00:26:42.930 --> 00:26:46.849
even make fucking diesel fuel out of it. So we
00:26:46.849 --> 00:26:49.190
only got 8 million barrels left. And we dropped
00:26:49.190 --> 00:26:51.410
another I think like 4 or 5 million this week.
00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.160
So we've got probably another week or two. Before
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:55.700
we start getting into the, okay, we're releasing
00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:59.380
the shit that's bad. So we are probably looking
00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:01.740
at like August, September. Probably September
00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:05.799
being when the fuel storages really start being
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.160
a problem. And there not being commercial availability.
00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:12.740
And the big thing is jet fuel. That's the big
00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:14.279
thing that's going to hurt us here. People ain't
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.039
going to be able to fly. Because you can't fly
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:17.519
if there ain't no fucking gas. Like if there
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.130
ain't no jet fuel, the plane can't go. So I have
00:27:21.130 --> 00:27:22.869
a feeling we're going to start seeing a lot of
00:27:22.869 --> 00:27:25.829
fucking problems start hitting when it comes
00:27:25.829 --> 00:27:29.430
to that in the next couple of months. And that's
00:27:29.430 --> 00:27:31.990
my thought and prediction, unless we can go in
00:27:31.990 --> 00:27:33.930
and just fucking by force open up the straight
00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:36.569
and get everything flowing. It's not going to
00:27:36.569 --> 00:27:37.849
be an instant fix. There's still going to be
00:27:37.849 --> 00:27:40.410
a little bit of strife and trouble, but it'll
00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:45.450
be better than nothing. So at any rate, it will
00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:47.589
affect us. It's going it's getting to that point
00:27:47.589 --> 00:27:51.019
now where this conflict. Afghanistan, Iraq, that
00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:53.039
shit really didn't fucking affect us here much
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.880
at home, right? And there is not a generation
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:01.799
that was really alive to see a war affect them
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.700
here in the United States at home, to affect
00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:08.400
us here. Vietnam, I mean, didn't really have
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.759
any economic or whatever. Yeah, we had people
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.400
protesting about peace and shit like that, but
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.700
there were really no major negative side effects.
00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:19.779
of vietnam right like we didn't have any major
00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:24.220
economic problems probably world war ii would
00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:26.539
have been the one that we the last generation
00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:30.759
that saw strife here due to a conflict Was probably
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.700
World War II. Because yes there were shortages
00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:35.119
of stuff. You had to start growing your own food.
00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:37.259
That's why they had the whole victory gardens
00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:39.299
thing. Because they had a shortage. Everything
00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:41.579
needed to go to the war effort. So cool. Grow
00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:43.380
your own food. That was what the government's
00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:45.400
fucking solution was. Just grow your own shit
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.420
in your yard. So we can send it overseas. All
00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:50.619
the other shit overseas to the troops. And feed
00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:54.119
them. So yeah that was people that were alive.
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:57.200
During World War II. And can remember. There's
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.869
very few of them left. So. Not a whole lot of
00:29:00.869 --> 00:29:03.269
people in the United States remember what it
00:29:03.269 --> 00:29:06.150
feels like to be affected in that way. And I
00:29:06.150 --> 00:29:08.230
think a lot of people are in for a rude awakening.
00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:12.910
And it's that meme that we always say, all the
00:29:12.910 --> 00:29:15.450
people who voted for fucking Trump, oh no, the
00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:18.890
consequences of my own actions. That's exactly
00:29:18.890 --> 00:29:21.089
what it is. It's the consequences of your own
00:29:21.089 --> 00:29:22.950
actions. Now they're coming back to bite us all
00:29:22.950 --> 00:29:25.450
in the ass. Because you guys thought it was a
00:29:25.450 --> 00:29:28.640
cool guy thing and you fell for the tricks. Drink
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.680
the Kool -Aid. Yep, drink the Kool -Aid. So anyways,
00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:34.519
I don't see it getting better. And my prediction
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:36.420
is that this weekend, I feel like this weekend
00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.720
is when it's going to hit. We're going to start
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.980
hitting those fucking targets, those infrastructure
00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:42.519
targets, and shit's going to pop off. I feel
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.400
like Saturday is probably like tomorrow night.
00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:48.500
I feel like it's going to happen. But we'll see.
00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:50.500
We'll see how it goes. Hopefully they're just
00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:53.359
talking shit. So anyways, I think that's all
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:54.759
I had to say about this. Do you have anything
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.490
else you want to add? oh man i have no idea i've
00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:04.869
been thinking about it where um i'm curious to
00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:09.809
know if nature itself or maybe it's just humans
00:30:09.809 --> 00:30:14.309
doing it because it's our in our nature to do
00:30:14.309 --> 00:30:18.430
it but fuck man i do wonder if it's that thing
00:30:18.430 --> 00:30:21.490
that everybody says it's like oh yeah the uh
00:30:23.210 --> 00:30:27.430
every so often we have a calling event like what
00:30:27.430 --> 00:30:30.329
what if what if uh every hundred years we really
00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:34.029
do have a calling event because the population
00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:39.990
at large is so untenable for humans that it just
00:30:39.990 --> 00:30:43.430
becomes problematic and i'm not saying i don't
00:30:43.430 --> 00:30:46.990
know if like nations organize for things to go
00:30:46.990 --> 00:30:55.480
uh For them to plan as if things could go wrong.
00:30:55.539 --> 00:31:01.660
Specifically for the U .S., right? There's 330
00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:04.180
million people. I don't even know what the actual
00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:07.140
number is of human beings within the United States
00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:11.779
that are citizens. So what do you do to curb
00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:17.160
our population? You instigate a war to crash
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.890
the economy. You allow corporations to purchase
00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:24.690
damn near everything and make obscene amount
00:31:24.690 --> 00:31:27.910
of money or obscene amount of money or obscene.
00:31:27.910 --> 00:31:30.289
Is it obscene or obscene? Obscene, yeah. Obscene
00:31:30.289 --> 00:31:33.630
amount of money. Obscene amounts of money. Obscene
00:31:33.630 --> 00:31:39.650
amounts of money. You have private corporations
00:31:39.650 --> 00:31:47.079
buying private farms. And then. You basically
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:51.420
invalidate our whole political system and have
00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:54.900
corporations kind of dictate what happens with
00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:59.460
it because they could basically influence any
00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:02.279
politician to do exactly what they want, which
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:03.799
is exactly what has happened. We're becoming
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:09.019
kind of like a dysfunctional government at this
00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:12.900
point. I mean, it's long overdue. It was, like,
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.160
a long time coming, basically. But all that really
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.640
to say that just within exclusively the United
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.160
States, you really didn't need to have mass murderings
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.819
or anything like that. I mean, that also happens
00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:27.539
to shootings and all that shit. But, like, if
00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:29.119
you really want to put the hurt on people, do
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.259
it economically, and they'll fucking find a way
00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:34.859
to kill themselves or do shit like that. I mean,
00:32:34.859 --> 00:32:37.369
because... It's been said that the number one
00:32:37.369 --> 00:32:39.450
reason for crime is usually poverty. So it's
00:32:39.450 --> 00:32:41.650
like when people go out and riot and do all like
00:32:41.650 --> 00:32:46.049
you're really inciting people to commit crime,
00:32:46.049 --> 00:32:48.650
violence, all that shit. So here we are. We're
00:32:48.650 --> 00:32:51.809
going to have that scenario if it was indirectly
00:32:51.809 --> 00:32:56.299
or directly. influenced by, I don't know if you
00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:57.900
want to call it the elite or the Illuminati or
00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:59.559
whatever the fuck you want to call it. And then
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.500
maybe it's not them at all. Maybe it's just kind
00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:03.559
of like the natural order of the world that it
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.680
just happens that way. But like, just speaking
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.220
about the U S specifically, like intentionally
00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:11.039
crashing the economy for, for people just to
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.480
really fucking feel it and potentially die. Like
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.420
we don't, we didn't need guns, dude. Like that's
00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:19.400
just going to be, I'm sure this whole funding
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.500
of like snap benefits being taken and wick and
00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:25.569
all this shit. That's going to hurt and kill
00:33:25.569 --> 00:33:29.109
a lot of kids already. Taking any kind of Medicare,
00:33:29.329 --> 00:33:33.069
another calling situation. Yeah, so I don't know.
00:33:33.329 --> 00:33:35.170
Well, I think that you're right. I think you're
00:33:35.170 --> 00:33:37.150
right on the money, and I think that it all ties
00:33:37.150 --> 00:33:40.190
in. If you make it so that people can't afford
00:33:40.190 --> 00:33:42.690
to fucking eat, and then you turn off the fucking
00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:45.609
power, that's a recipe for fucking disaster.
00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:51.990
And the problem is we're too fucking stupid as
00:33:51.990 --> 00:33:58.039
a whole. To realize what's going on and to unite
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.240
together. And I've said this before a thousand
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.859
times. It doesn't matter. Black, white, yellow,
00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:10.179
green, Jew, non -Jew, Muslim, whatever. The fucking
00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:14.880
biggest dividing color is green. It's money.
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.650
It's the haves and the have -nots. And there's
00:34:17.650 --> 00:34:20.289
always more of us have -nots, the peasant class.
00:34:20.630 --> 00:34:23.030
There's way more of us than there is of the elite
00:34:23.030 --> 00:34:25.670
ruling class. And at least here in America, we
00:34:25.670 --> 00:34:28.050
own the most guns per capita of any fucking country
00:34:28.050 --> 00:34:30.929
on the planet. And the whole reason our whole
00:34:30.929 --> 00:34:33.949
existence was created was like, hey, if the government
00:34:33.949 --> 00:34:35.389
starts fucking up, you guys should have these
00:34:35.389 --> 00:34:37.389
things so you can fucking kill them all and take
00:34:37.389 --> 00:34:39.730
over and reset this shit. That's the whole point.
00:34:40.190 --> 00:34:44.809
And here we are. Even fucking the Civil War back
00:34:44.809 --> 00:34:48.210
in the 1800s, it wasn't over. It was over fucking
00:34:48.210 --> 00:34:50.750
business. It was a it was economic. It was a
00:34:50.750 --> 00:34:53.650
business fucking reason because of slavery. And
00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:55.289
they didn't want to give up the slaves because
00:34:55.289 --> 00:34:57.690
they wanted the free fucking labor so they can
00:34:57.690 --> 00:35:00.769
make huge profits. That corporatism was already
00:35:00.769 --> 00:35:03.670
existing back then in fucking the 1800s. It was
00:35:03.670 --> 00:35:05.469
just a plantation owner instead of a corporation.
00:35:05.489 --> 00:35:11.110
Right. So it's it's become a much bigger and
00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:16.440
much worse monster than even that. And so if
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.280
we all could just figure it out and band together
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.179
and realize, oh, that's the problem. It's the
00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:23.000
it's the fucking top one percent or five percent
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.159
or whatever. Those are the fucking that's the
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:26.840
problem. Cool. We got to get rid of that shit.
00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:28.860
We got to get rid of these huge corporations
00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:30.840
and we got to stop their era. We don't need to
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.320
get rid of them, maybe, but we need to stop their
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.599
influence. Right. And so I think that it all
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.940
ties in to put a nice little tight bow on it
00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:41.619
is this is coming. This is the coming end of
00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:43.860
an empire. Right. Our American empire is coming
00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:47.610
to an end. This grand experiment of the United
00:35:47.610 --> 00:35:51.690
States was fucking great for 200 fucking years,
00:35:51.829 --> 00:35:55.230
250 years almost. And now it has kind of started
00:35:55.230 --> 00:35:57.050
to go off of the fucking rails. Yeah, it makes
00:35:57.050 --> 00:36:00.050
me wonder if it was too big to work, like if
00:36:00.050 --> 00:36:03.530
it should have just been territories like I don't
00:36:03.530 --> 00:36:06.030
want to like point to the movie Civil War, but
00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:08.409
I don't know. Maybe the union was just too much
00:36:08.409 --> 00:36:11.070
of a big dream. Maybe it should have been like
00:36:11.070 --> 00:36:14.480
Europe where. every individual country is its
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:17.039
own state and nation but there was a collective
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:20.500
I mean I guess it would be like in my estimation
00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:23.920
it would be like Cascadia as people have mentioned
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:27.579
like Seattle Washington California maybe Arizona
00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:30.320
and Nevada would be included in that yeah that
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.659
would be one region and then Texas would be its
00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:37.400
own thing yeah but we all would operate in similar
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.760
mindsets I mean if people in Texas and Oklahoma
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:47.460
and Louisiana and fucking whatever adjacent states
00:36:47.460 --> 00:36:50.099
want to align and do that. Maybe that should
00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:51.800
have been the way to go from the get -go because
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.920
as it is right now, it ain't fucking working.
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:57.880
It ain't fucking working. And it ain't going
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.699
to matter soon enough, it seems like. So anyways,
00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:03.380
all right, well, that's all I had. So you got
00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:05.500
