00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.380
All right, everybody to talk about tonight, but
2
00:00:24.380 --> 00:00:26.260
we have plenty to talk about tonight, but
3
00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:27.460
we kind of are in a bit of
4
00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:27.460
a bit of a curfuffle here because we
5
00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:28.920
kind of are in a bit of a
6
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.740
curfuffle here because something something just came up
7
00:00:30.740 --> 00:00:32.480
right as we're about to start the show.
8
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:34.300
It looks like the FAA has issued a
9
00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:40.200
nationwide ground stop for all flights. We've got
10
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.500
a clip here from Fox News. We're going
11
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:45.440
to chat about it. In fact, if we
12
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:47.640
can, I think I'm just going to, we're
13
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.460
just going to get rolling with the shows.
14
00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:51.900
I'll just bring everybody in here and we'll
15
00:00:51.900 --> 00:00:54.180
just get going because I don't know, guys,
16
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:55.400
what the hell? We're just going to roll
17
00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:58.140
with it. What the fuck, everybody? Jesus Christ.
18
00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.480
I just, sorry for yelling. Let me just
19
00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:01.220
turn down my game. And it's like, we're
20
00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:02.420
about to go live. And it's like, for
21
00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:04.100
the second time ever in the history, all
22
00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:05.980
flay, all play to fucking ground. The funniest
23
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:07.420
thing is consorties going to show up here
24
00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:08.880
at 5 o 'clock, ready to talk about
25
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:11.240
his charts and lines and be like, bro,
26
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:14.480
uh, world ending here. Might want to recalibrate,
27
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.740
recalibrate. So, uh, FAA, yeah, issues nationwide ground
28
00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:19.340
stop on all flights. Let's take a look
29
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:22.040
at the clip. There's a Fox News clip.
30
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.300
It's short, just kind of, uh, given the
31
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:25.920
little bit of information that is known. Here
32
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.980
we go. Another Fox News alert. The FAA
33
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:33.500
has issued a, national ground stop over extraordinary
34
00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:36.700
circumstances and reasons of safety. Those are direct
35
00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:40.060
quotes. Inbound international flags will be managed on
36
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:42.660
a case -by -case basis. Now, for this
37
00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:45.120
breaking news, let's go to correspondent Jonathan Hunt,
38
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.400
who has the very latest. Jonathan. Yeah, and
39
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.360
Will, just to emphasize how unusual this is,
40
00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:54.800
according to our
Load full transcript
records, we're still checking thoroughly,
41
00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.720
but according to our records, this is only
42
00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:00.760
the second time that a nationwide ground stop
43
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.520
for all aircraft has been issued since 9
44
00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:07.560
-11. The FAA statement went out through air
45
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.560
traffic control. It says this, and I'll read
46
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.580
it to you. Due to extraordinary circumstances and
47
00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:16.520
for reasons of safety, attention all aircraft operators.
48
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.940
By order of the Federal Aviation Command Center,
49
00:02:19.940 --> 00:02:23.380
all airports are ground -stopped. All departing traffic
50
00:02:23.380 --> 00:02:27.400
should remain ground -stop until further noticed, inbound
51
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.760
international flights, will be managed on a case
52
00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:37.120
-by -case basis. Yeah, wow. So this is,
53
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.740
I don't know, right out of left field
54
00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:41.940
here, but maybe not, because we've been chatting
55
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:45.400
about a good handful of governments around the
56
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.680
world consistently, starting to say, oh, get stocked
57
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.220
up, everybody. Not for anything specific, but just
58
00:02:52.220 --> 00:02:54.680
in case, you know, get three days, a
59
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.260
week worth of food and fuel and make
60
00:02:57.260 --> 00:02:59.840
sure you got everything you need. you never
61
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.280
know when something might happen. Is this the
62
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.280
beginning of that something? Is this a dry
63
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.080
run? What are we thinking here, boys? Let
64
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.960
me, let me posit this to you guys.
65
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.940
You tell me what you think. We obviously,
66
00:03:12.940 --> 00:03:14.200
one other thing we've been talking about quite
67
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:16.440
a bit, in addition to this, like, very
68
00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:19.940
vague and it seems very suddenly frequent warning
69
00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:23.080
about 96 hours of food or whatever. Yep.
70
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.460
Is the cyber attack thing, the AI infrastructure.
71
00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:29.840
Sure. The thing I don't, okay, so maybe
72
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.520
we'll start with this. We're Canadian, obviously, the
73
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.420
few of us here. Brandon, honorary Canadian as
74
00:03:34.420 --> 00:03:37.060
well, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I don't see
75
00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:39.880
anything here for Canada. So whatever the problem
76
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:43.020
is, is either contained in the U .S.
77
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:45.620
or it's not being reported anywhere else, which
78
00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:48.460
tells me that it's not necessarily an issue
79
00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:53.240
of, like, a set of frequencies or a
80
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:54.880
certain piece of equipment or something like that.
81
00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:57.300
it looks this looks to me more targeted
82
00:03:57.300 --> 00:03:59.880
than that which is kind of not great
83
00:03:59.880 --> 00:04:01.380
well joey don't forget is i'm trying to
84
00:04:01.380 --> 00:04:02.260
work behind the scenes here a little bit
85
00:04:02.260 --> 00:04:04.600
too yeah we had both france and u
86
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:07.500
.s military's refrigeration units being targeted including like
87
00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:09.140
where they were keeping um like blood banks
88
00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:10.480
frozen blood banks as well so it's not
89
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:12.200
only just food that they were going after
90
00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:13.220
and they were able to crank those things
91
00:04:13.220 --> 00:04:14.620
at the 50 degrees Celsius so there's been
92
00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:16.340
a ton of what appears to be very
93
00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:18.260
blatant cyber warfare kind of going on and
94
00:04:18.260 --> 00:04:20.700
you're right japan europe canada all of them
95
00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:22.820
have had that have emergency supply stuff on
96
00:04:22.820 --> 00:04:24.480
hand which to my wife's credit i thought
97
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.780
she was telling me me even earlier today,
98
00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:26.620
she's like, you know, getting a little bit
99
00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:28.120
freaked out about it. I got a fucking
100
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.280
stash down here in the basement now because
101
00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:31.520
she watches our show in a bunch of
102
00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:32.880
shit. She's like, I'm getting stock the fuck
103
00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:34.080
up. So at least I know I got
104
00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:36.080
mine on your address. I'm not fucking telling
105
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:37.480
you that one, but I promise I'll feed,
106
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.560
I'll feed the little one. You're on your
107
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.000
own. We need a, we need a my
108
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.460
Patriot Supply sponsorship. Oh, here we got to
109
00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:46.740
get the food. X -22 report stand up.
110
00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:49.400
X -22 report stand up. It's, it's tough
111
00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:51.380
because, you know, we've talked about this with
112
00:04:51.380 --> 00:04:53.280
aliens. We talked about this all, like, you
113
00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:54.320
know, the governments a lot of times will
114
00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:55.940
use these things. as trial balloons to see
115
00:04:55.940 --> 00:04:57.800
how many people fall for stuff. And, you
116
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:58.840
know, they kind of give like the head
117
00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:00.560
fakes and like, okay, who believes this? How
118
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.460
many people
are gullible right now? And they'll
119
00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:04.340
use these things, which is, you know, the
120
00:05:04.340 --> 00:05:06.840
Chinese balloon that was overhead. So you just,
121
00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:08.480
you just never really know. And unfortunately, we're
122
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:09.980
at this place, whether it's, I don't know,
123
00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:11.560
Joe Biden or whether it's Donald Trump and
124
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.440
AOC or Gavin Newsom or J .D. Van.
125
00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:17.180
Van. No matter who's president. The thing I
126
00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:19.220
keep thinking about is that, you know, politics
127
00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:21.340
in a way is going to matter less
128
00:05:21.340 --> 00:05:23.460
and less as time goes on to the
129
00:05:23.460 --> 00:05:26.240
extent that people don't trust anything anymore. And
130
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.480
so I'm hopeful that we're going to get
131
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.480
back to more localized politics, whether it's provincial,
132
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.340
state, municipality, all these different things where you
133
00:05:33.340 --> 00:05:37.080
can actually govern and decentralize things because we're
134
00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:39.440
in this world now where, yeah, I mean,
135
00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:41.700
usually when they're saying something, it's for some
136
00:05:41.700 --> 00:05:43.100
other reason, like we said the other day,
137
00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:44.620
like what's the smoke screen about? What's this
138
00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:46.480
for? Is this related to it at all?
139
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.840
Maybe it's just something out of left field.
140
00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:49.840
The other part of it is, I'm surprised
141
00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:51.120
these things don't happen more. And the government's
142
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.760
on these weird, precarious positions where they kind
143
00:05:53.760 --> 00:05:55.360
of have to keep people. in this state
144
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.460
of fear all the time, so you feel
145
00:05:56.460 --> 00:05:58.500
like you need the government to do something
146
00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:00.260
that, like, there's always, like, the boogeyman of
147
00:06:00.260 --> 00:06:02.000
the unknown, unknown, like, well, I don't know.
148
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.580
The government always knows something that I don't
149
00:06:03.580 --> 00:06:05.820
know. And you've got to keep the people
150
00:06:05.820 --> 00:06:08.360
on this, this threshold of not just total
151
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.300
revolt and, like, rioting and also just scared
152
00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:13.080
enough where you can pass things, get your,
153
00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:14.820
get your Patriot acts in, like, do your
154
00:06:14.820 --> 00:06:16.680
different things, as Rahm Emanuel said, right? Never
155
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.320
let a good price go to waste. So,
156
00:06:18.320 --> 00:06:20.000
you know, like, what are they planning? You
157
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.200
know, what's exactly going on? But that's where,
158
00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:24.420
I guess, you know, landing the plane, no
159
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:26.740
pun. intended. This is just where, I think,
160
00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:28.720
focusing on what you can control, rooting yourself
161
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.460
in Christ, you know, probably number one, we
162
00:06:30.460 --> 00:06:31.480
should probably talk about that a little more
163
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.900
in this show, but just having ultimate faith
164
00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:33.980
of like, hey, we're all going to be
165
00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:36.320
six feet under someday anyway. Do you focus
166
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:38.660
on what you could control and root yourself,
167
00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:41.140
increase your mental, your spiritual, your physical, get
168
00:06:41.140 --> 00:06:43.420
in shape, get your mind right, work out,
169
00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:45.020
because you sit around an algorithm all day
170
00:06:45.020 --> 00:06:46.400
long. Like, you'll just be like cat the
171
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:48.260
laser pointer all the time. So that's kind
172
00:06:48.260 --> 00:06:49.200
of when I think of this stuff and
173
00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:50.920
I see this stuff and just speeding up,
174
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.300
getting crazier and crazier. That's just where my
175
00:06:52.300 --> 00:06:56.560
mind goes. Guys, we talked about this, if
176
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.940
I'm not mistaken, on the show very briefly
177
00:06:59.940 --> 00:07:03.140
a week ago. But do you think it
178
00:07:03.140 --> 00:07:05.440
could be something to do with the fact
179
00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:12.540
that they just went away from floppy disks?
180
00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:16.480
It's not impossible, Joey. Why are you coming
181
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.040
to me on something that has floppy in
182
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.860
the fucking, come on? I don't like that.
183
00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:23.160
I mean, like, they, again, I don't. Again,
184
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.480
FAA to finally ditch floppy disks in what
185
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.120
it calls historic tech upgrade. Do you think
186
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.680
they just can't handle the new stuff? Okay,
187
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.720
let me ask you this. You guys know
188
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.380
one of the things we talk about on
189
00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:37.500
the show a lot, and I think a
190
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.740
thing that people sort of think about, but
191
00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:42.400
don't really understand the gravity of is this
192
00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:45.940
idea of technical deficit. You're talking about any
193
00:07:45.940 --> 00:07:49.000
system that cannot be taken offline for a
194
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.340
proper upgrade, never getting a full rebuild and
195
00:07:53.340 --> 00:07:57.000
moving to a
modern file system, modern hardware,
196
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.920
modern peripherals, like floppy disks and stuff like
197
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.280
that. If you can't do that, then what
198
00:08:02.280 --> 00:08:04.220
you wind up with is band -aids on
199
00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:06.720
band -aids, on band -aids, on band -aids,
200
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.460
over and over and over again. And it
201
00:08:08.460 --> 00:08:10.600
was one thing in the 70s and 80s
202
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.920
when the speed at which these systems would
203
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.060
have been upgraded anyways was once every five
204
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.980
years, once every 10 years, once every 15
205
00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:23.320
years. Now, especially in the last two years,
206
00:08:23.320 --> 00:08:26.800
it's probably like an insanely high frequency. You
207
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.500
got to think about something that's probably the
208
00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:32.160
best comparison to this for the average retail
209
00:08:32.160 --> 00:08:35.280
person who doesn't really understand all this stuff.
210
00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:37.600
Think about how often your iPhone updates. How
211
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.680
often your Windows PC updates, your Mac updates.
212
00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:42.420
How often do you need to update your
213
00:08:42.420 --> 00:08:44.320
car software if you have something like that
214
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.240
in your vehicle? This is stuff that has
215
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:51.320
zero technical deficit. None. Okay. And it's updating
216
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.700
probably once a month. You can imagine something
217
00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:56.060
that has been updated since 1975 in any
218
00:08:56.060 --> 00:08:59.640
real meaningful capacity because it can't, we can't
219
00:08:59.640 --> 00:09:02.580
risk a failure in flight controls. We can't
220
00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:05.180
risk a failure in nuclear power or any
221
00:09:05.180 --> 00:09:06.580
kind of hydro. We can't risk a failure
222
00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:10.100
in hospitals or municipalities. I'll give you an
223
00:09:10.100 --> 00:09:12.880
example in my own life here. I live
224
00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:15.580
in Hamilton, in Ontario, and we are like
225
00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:18.040
in year, I mean, depending on what timeline
226
00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:20.280
you believe, three or three. or four of
227
00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:22.140
the fallout from a cyber attack that left
228
00:09:22.140 --> 00:09:25.920
the city basically crippled everything from like parking
229
00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:29.500
tickets to property taxes to can I get
230
00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:31.880
another set of stickers to put an extra
231
00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:34.140
bag of garbage on the curb this week.
232
00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:36.220
You couldn't do it for a long time.
233
00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.460
And it's because those systems have just never
234
00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:39.500
been upgraded. Once people had the capability to
235
00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:42.440
attack those old systems without really any friction
236
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.440
at all, they did it. And I think
237
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.760
some of this stuff, especially on the national
238
00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:49.900
scale, like air traffic control, or like air
239
00:09:49.900 --> 00:09:54.100
traffic comms, that's a great target. And again,
240
00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:55.100
one of the things we talked about a
241
00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:57.040
lot, I don't know if I said it
242
00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:59.040
on this show, I said on Accessive Easy,
243
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:01.200
but the reason that you see stuff, you
244
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.540
know, Nate, like you were saying earlier, blood
245
00:10:02.540 --> 00:10:05.740
banks and freezers, right? If there's a, if
246
00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:08.180
there's a movie about war or famine or
247
00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:11.000
whatever, what is the visual? The visual is
248
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.840
not always battlefield casualties. The visual is something
249
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.940
that's more visceral to the average person. It's
250
00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:19.080
an empty fridge at the grocery store. It's
251
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.080
a hospital where the lights are off. It's
252
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.060
a doctor's office where there's no medicine, right?
253
00:10:24.060 --> 00:10:25.280
Your own fridge at home where the food
254
00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:28.640
is rotting. This is visceral. It's visible and
255
00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:30.980
it's tangible for Americans. So when you talk
256
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:34.320
about destabilizing a country, you don't necessarily always
257
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.020
have to say, well, we're going to destabilize
258
00:10:37.020 --> 00:10:39.680
it by, you know, putting boots on, you
259
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:42.940
know, the shores of America. That's maybe something
260
00:10:42.940 --> 00:10:47.000
from the past. But now people go, oh
261
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.480
my God, like my, my, my, my own.
262
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.100
is in the sky or whatever. My uncle's
263
00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:52.700
in the sky. And by the way, you
264
00:10:52.700 --> 00:10:54.300
know, when every American is going to be
265
00:10:54.300 --> 00:10:56.280
in the sky? Two weeks from now at
266
00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:58.600
Thanksgiving. And so when these guys decide to
267
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.200
do that, that's going to be a consideration
268
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.640
for a lot of people. And if those
269
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:04.880
flights are grounded or at risk or there's
270
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:07.220
any other hiccup with that stuff, it's going
271
00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:10.060
to be national and international news. That's an
272
00:11:10.060 --> 00:11:12.780
important thing to consider.
What is the effect
273
00:11:12.780 --> 00:11:15.780
on the way people think about their confidence
274
00:11:15.780 --> 00:11:18.280
in systems that they've never given any thought
275
00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:22.580
to? for. Very important stuff. I got a,
276
00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:27.060
so I found another thing here. And it
277
00:11:27.060 --> 00:11:31.300
may be what, it may be even more
278
00:11:31.300 --> 00:11:35.620
relevant than the stopping using floppy disks thing.
279
00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:37.060
By the way, hey, Joe, thanks for joining
280
00:11:37.060 --> 00:11:40.440
us. Welcome, consorting. You're going thrown into the
281
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.180
deep end. It was me. I caused all
282
00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:45.760
of this. It might have been you or
283
00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:48.320
it might have been the FAA rolling out
284
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.620
its. AI air traffic tool nationwide. This is
285
00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:57.180
from yesterday. No. Gee. Yeah. They gave it
286
00:11:57.180 --> 00:11:59.040
the keys to the kingdom and they said,
287
00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:02.140
optimize all of our flights. Less congestion. And
288
00:12:02.140 --> 00:12:03.780
it's just okay. And then it grounded every
289
00:12:03.780 --> 00:12:05.800
flight. Yeah, last week, we were just talking
290
00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:07.780
about last week how they're like, all right,
291
00:12:07.780 --> 00:12:09.900
guys, we're going off floppy disks. And now
292
00:12:09.900 --> 00:12:13.440
they're rolling out a nationwide AI tool. Like,
293
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.960
guys, I think baby steps are in order
294
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.700
here. not looking so hot, but there's a
295
00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:22.920
couple, uh, couple items there that may contribute
296
00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:25.420
to this. Or, or maybe this is not
297
00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:28.120
related at all. Maybe it's just, I don't
298
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.480
know, that the orchestrated cyber attack that they've
299
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.920
been warning us about for a year and
300
00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:35.940
a half. I don't know, man. I don't
301
00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:38.400
know. Before it jumps in here really quick,
302
00:12:38.400 --> 00:12:39.500
we're at this intersection. I just want to
303
00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:41.000
throw in here of, you know, we've been
304
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.960
talking about Palmer Lucky a lot, even Elon,
305
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.080
right, and AI really running your life. Mythos,
306
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:48.640
we still don't have mythos. Like, where's mythos?
307
00:12:48.640 --> 00:12:49.900
How come we don't have mythos yet, damn
308
00:12:49.900 --> 00:12:51.540
it? But this is, this is, this world
309
00:12:51.540 --> 00:12:53.860
my fable 5 .4 -2 already. This is
310
00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.400
this world that we're kind of in right
311
00:12:55.400 --> 00:12:58.500
now where you have the Dems right now
312
00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:00.260
talking about like, oh yeah, like they want
313
00:13:00.260 --> 00:13:01.880
to crack down David Sachs being like, oh,
314
00:13:01.880 --> 00:13:03.340
100 % thems are coming in to create
315
00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:05.300
a cyber cage over your life. And, you
316
00:13:05.300 --> 00:13:07.020
know, so we're in this weird, Jensen Wong
317
00:13:07.020 --> 00:13:08.520
coming out. He's, you know, big on, right?
318
00:13:08.520 --> 00:13:09.780
We've been talking about all these things and
319
00:13:09.780 --> 00:13:11.720
he was huge on the open models. We're
320
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.280
in this really precarious time right now where
321
00:13:14.280 --> 00:13:15.780
you have all these things kind of coming
322
00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:17.480
together. and you have this battle that's going
323
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.500
on that, I mean, let's be honest, the
324
00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:22.660
average person has zero clue what is going
325
00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:24.020
on at all. I mean, even as a
326
00:13:24.020 --> 00:13:25.280
Bitcoiner, I think a lot of us, I
327
00:13:25.280 --> 00:13:27.220
don't have a clue what's going on, you
328
00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:28.700
know, if I'm going to be truthful. Like,
329
00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:30.180
there is so much going on. It's almost
330
00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:32.940
impossible. You need your clanker just to give
331
00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:34.380
you a briefing or a couple briefings a
332
00:13:34.380 --> 00:13:35.680
day, just to stay on top of like
333
00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:37.100
10 % of what's going on in the
334
00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:38.860
world between the wars and the AI and
335
00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:41.980
outages and cyber attacks. It's a wild time,
336
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:44.000
wild time right now. Damn, Joe, you just
337
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:49.860
shared something too. Probably related here. National Weather
338
00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:54.380
Service investigating a nationwide radar outage. Yeah, so
339
00:13:54.380 --> 00:13:56.960
it doesn't seem to be, so this is
340
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.120
why it seems like it may be a
341
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.760
cyber attack. It might be related to the
342
00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:02.460
AI thing. I don't know how closely the
343
00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:04.660
FAA and the National Weather Service work together
344
00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:07.800
on their radar systems. But yeah, no, this
345
00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:09.980
could be the reason that the FAA issued
346
00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:15.240
a groundstop. Obviously, they need the radar to
347
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.800
see where the weather is going. I remember
348
00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:18.620
even with radar, I was flying out of
349
00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:25.380
MCO in 2025 leaving from strategy world. And
350
00:14:25.380 --> 00:14:28.760
lightning hit our plane as we were ascending
351
00:14:28.760 --> 00:14:30.500
and all of the lights
in the cabin
352
00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:32.580
went out and we descended maybe like 100
353
00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:35.240
feet in like two seconds. Terrified. I was
354
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.040
like, well, you know, this sucks. And that
355
00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:40.340
was with radar. And so it's extremely important
356
00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:42.540
that radar systems are functional. So you don't
357
00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:44.960
get what happens a week and a half,
358
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.160
two weeks ago with, you know, Obviously, that
359
00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:49.480
wasn't a radar issue. That was just, you
360
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.080
know, we can fly through this terrible storm
361
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.900
in a jet that weighs 40 pounds. No,
362
00:14:53.900 --> 00:14:56.240
you can't. No, you can't. So, you know,
363
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.700
with radar outages, and we're talking about tens
364
00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:00.220
of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people in
365
00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:02.200
the sky at any given time. You know,
366
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:03.840
it makes sense as to why this happened.
367
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.580
But the question is, what caused the radar
368
00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:07.360
outage? Was it something that Jensen Wong told
369
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.120
his Chinese honeypot that she relayed to the
370
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:12.280
CCP and now they're doing a cyber attack?
371
00:15:12.280 --> 00:15:13.800
Maybe they're a little bit upset about him
372
00:15:13.800 --> 00:15:15.980
getting removed. That would fit the timeline. And
373
00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.320
speaking of time, we got O 'Hare was
374
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.960
ground -stopped around 3 .10 p .m. Eastern
375
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.760
equipment outage comms issues. Then later on, we
376
00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:25.700
had the advisory estimated to end around 10
377
00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:27.880
p .m. Central, which is 11 p .m.
378
00:15:27.880 --> 00:15:31.980
Eastern, but still until further noticed. Some figures
379
00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:33.920
had 5 p .m., but I think no
380
00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:36.960
official sources on that. Additionally, I did find
381
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.420
that there's no record of cause yet. Pentagon's
382
00:15:40.420 --> 00:15:41.920
been asked for comment, but nothing as of
383
00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:44.640
yet. And as another fun reminder, we also
384
00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:47.140
had apparently Microsoft, 365 had an outage going
385
00:15:47.140 --> 00:15:50.060
from Thursday into Friday as well. Still out,
386
00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:52.040
by the way. They're still out. So, I
387
00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:55.240
mean, flightware counts nearly 7 ,000 flights delayed
388
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:59.440
or canceled. That's from Reuters. No wording on
389
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.400
the cause. Clash reports quotes the FAA saying
390
00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:03.240
that it's working to resolve a technical issue
391
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.420
affecting telecommunications at many air traffic control facilities.
392
00:16:07.420 --> 00:16:10.460
That points to telecoms circuit layer, not radios
393
00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:12.620
alone, going back to even possibly radar. I'll
394
00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.920
give you something, if you want it. There's
395
00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:15.980
an end -time advisory on the FAA. a
396
00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:19.020
stop 10 p .m. Central, not firm, but
397
00:16:19.020 --> 00:16:21.220
out there. So maybe they think they have
398
00:16:21.220 --> 00:16:22.320
a handle on it or will by that
399
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.060
time? Hard to say. That's pretty far out
400
00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:27.720
though, right? So that's like, like, maybe, maybe
401
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:29.280
if you know, like some guy, you know,
402
00:16:29.280 --> 00:16:30.940
fell asleep at the wheel and ran into
403
00:16:30.940 --> 00:16:33.100
one really important power station and they know
404
00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:34.340
that they can get it back up. But
405
00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:36.060
I would not be surprised to see that
406
00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:38.120
move. I'm watching the flight trackers as well,
407
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.660
too. Nothing, nothing really there, but it's still
408
00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:44.120
quite interesting to see. Clash reports as some
409
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.660
indications, these are. already getting lifted, but nothing
410
00:16:47.660 --> 00:16:50.940
confirmed yet. I mean, it's, this is, it's
411
00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:53.000
so scary, man, because, like, I don't know
412
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.660
about you guys, probably we fly more than
413
00:16:55.660 --> 00:16:57.060
the average person, the five of us, if
414
00:16:57.060 --> 00:16:58.960
I had to guess. Probably. For sure, for
415
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.940
sure, you and you, you do, Ben. And,
416
00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:03.500
like, I hate flying anyways. I can't stand
417
00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:05.520
flying. I hate the idea of getting on
418
00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:07.200
a plane. I, like, I always have to
419
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.460
take, like, the, what is that nausea medication
420
00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:10.840
that knocks you out? I forget what it's
421
00:17:10.840 --> 00:17:12.760
called. Like that van or something. No, no,
422
00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:15.320
no, it's like. Wine. Yeah, could do that.
423
00:17:15.320 --> 00:17:16.100
Yeah, could do that. I just have a
424
00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:18.080
couple of beers and unwind. But, but, like,
425
00:17:18.080 --> 00:17:21.000
yeah, it's like, you know, you know, it's,
426
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.480
it's like, you know, this is already a
427
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:23.640
scary enough thing for a lot of people,
428
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:25.400
and now you have this kind of, this
429
00:17:25.400 -->
00:17:27.140
kind of issue. I've said for a long
430
00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:29.000
time, I'm not a big tinfoil hack guy,
431
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.380
but one of the things I think about
432
00:17:30.380 --> 00:17:32.800
with some frequency, I won't say often, but
433
00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:34.920
with some frequency is if you wanted to
434
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.960
limit travel for the average person, you would
435
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.200
just put the fear of God of them
436
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.080
every so often about getting on a plane.
437
00:17:41.080 --> 00:17:42.520
And, you know, then only the people who
438
00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:44.640
really had to fly would get on planes
439
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:45.980
and everyone else would kind of be. you
440
00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:48.200
know, grounded for lack of the term. It
441
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:53.460
was attempted during COVID, obviously. Yeah, yeah. But,
442
00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:54.840
you know, it didn't work out. People got
443
00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:57.880
restless. People, like, stopped listening. I remember the
444
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.400
last flight, one of the last flights that
445
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.720
I took before everything was lifted, they were,
446
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.560
there were like the mandatory, you have to
447
00:18:08.560 --> 00:18:11.700
take a test before you leave your desk,
448
00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:13.560
leave where you're coming from back home. And
449
00:18:13.560 --> 00:18:14.860
then you have to test again when you
450
00:18:14.860 --> 00:18:18.460
land. And then you were supposed to be
451
00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:20.580
masked up, and you were supposed to get
452
00:18:20.580 --> 00:18:23.580
a hotel and all that. Yeah. I remember,
453
00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:26.300
like, landing in Calgary, and I'd say 90
454
00:18:26.300 --> 00:18:28.500
% of the plane just, like, walked through,
455
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:30.500
and they're like, I'm not doing that. I
456
00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:32.540
don't think so. Yeah, good luck. Yeah, grab
457
00:18:32.540 --> 00:18:34.240
me in the parking lot. TTIA. Two more
458
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.960
outlets back up the radio and radar reports.
459
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.620
So more information coming out about that. Still
460
00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:43.120
nothing from something official, though. Wow. Just crazy.
461
00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:45.660
Well. Also, there was a massive cruise ship
462
00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:48.300
that. capsized in New Orleans. Not maybe not.
463
00:18:48.300 --> 00:18:50.140
What? That was the picture at the front
464
00:18:50.140 --> 00:18:51.920
of that clip. I was like, what the
465
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.340
fuck is going on on this photo? sideways
466
00:18:54.340 --> 00:18:56.520
here. We got that. Hey, maybe we're in
467
00:18:56.520 --> 00:18:58.740
Revelation. Maybe God's coming back like today or
468
00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:00.520
tomorrow. Was it a carnival cruise? Do we
469
00:19:00.520 --> 00:19:01.900
have any? Got it. Hang on. Give me
470
00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:03.640
a second here. Let me go ahead and
471
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:05.260
pull that one up.! Not to derail the
472
00:19:05.260 --> 00:19:08.320
shell, but you know. Oh my goodness. A
473
00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:10.920
tanker hit it, it, it looks like. Yeah.
474
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.800
Yeah. It's like another Baltimore bridge situation, unfortunately.
475
00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:16.360
Oh, you've got 170 people on. board was
476
00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:18.680
terrible that's some that was that guy's running
477
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:23.580
was oh my lord yeah that's rough man
478
00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:25.960
because like you just know there's there were
479
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.460
people like in there somewhere and it's like
480
00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:31.800
you can't you can't get where's that saxophone
481
00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:35.360
coming from i think that's like scraping or
482
00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:37.900
something holy crap the other one on that
483
00:19:37.900 --> 00:19:39.900
just uh like immediately came to mind for
484
00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:40.960
me is the amount of people that i
485
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.380
know that i've made it to adulthood that
486
00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:45.420
don't know how to swim is frightening like
487
00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:45.800
i'm not sure that i'm not sure that
488
00:19:45.800 --> 00:19:47.480
why this is the case if like for
489
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.420
some reason my parents were just different and
490
00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:51.580
like that was always something like heavily really
491
00:19:51.580 --> 00:19:53.880
drilled into the water for my entire life
492
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:55.340
i actually i think swimming lessons should be
493
00:19:55.340 --> 00:19:57.680
banned and if you drown you drown personally
494
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.660
yeah that's one way to do that if
495
00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.840
you guys ever seen the clip of i
496
00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:02.180
think it was john wayne from like back
497
00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:03.780
in the day and the kid comes and
498
00:20:03.780 --> 00:20:05.500
he like loses his fishing pole like another
499
00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:07.680
side of you know black and white show
500
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.300
whatever and he like loses his fishing and
501
00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:10.640
john wayne like gets up but he's on
502
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.740
the bank of the river he's like well
503
00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.720
what do you mean it's like go in
504
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.940
there and swim and get it and gets
505
00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:15.340
like wow i can't swim him and he
506
00:20:15.340 --> 00:20:17.600
just like, it just like throws him in
507
00:20:17.600 --> 00:20:19.580
the river and he's a kid screaming and
508
00:20:19.580 --> 00:20:21.240
then the lady comes
running up. She's like,
509
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.620
oh my gosh, he's a kid in there.
510
00:20:22.620 --> 00:20:24.080
He's drowning, he's drowning. He's like, well, he's
511
00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:25.160
going to learn to swim. And she's like,
512
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:26.440
why don't you go get her or get
513
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.680
him? And she's like, well, I can't, it
514
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.580
just looks at her. Unbelievable. Love it. Love
515
00:20:32.580 --> 00:20:35.080
it. We're going to talk about how much
516
00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:37.400
money I've lost today. Yeah, yeah, I think,
517
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.320
I think we need to get into that.
518
00:20:39.320 --> 00:20:41.840
We're going to, I mean, we basically did
519
00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:43.920
the first segment on all this crazy stuff
520
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.480
that's literally just happening right now. We'll continue
521
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.060
to kind of monitor that throughout, and we've
522
00:20:49.060 --> 00:20:51.440
got notifications set up and all that. So
523
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.940
we'll continue on with that. We're going to
524
00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:56.760
take a quick little breather here, but on
525
00:20:56.760 --> 00:21:00.000
the other side, obviously we've got our good
526
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.400
buddy Joe here to give us the latest
527
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.660
and greatest or lack of greatest that's been
528
00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:08.540
going on. Bitcoin below the 200 -day moving
529
00:21:08.540 --> 00:21:10.520
average. Joe, I'm sure you've got some things
530
00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:15.180
to say about that. K gang in the
531
00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:20.140
house, 58K gang frothing at the mouth. We'll
532
00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:21.700
fuck down. They're taking warm -up swings for
533
00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:24.200
sure. There's no doubt about that. Yeah, we'll
534
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.940
find out what's going on and what might
535
00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:28.880
be in store in just a moment. Everybody
536
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:31.460
in the chat, of course, keep your messages
537
00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:33.380
coming, throw some chairs, drop a like, give
538
00:21:33.380 --> 00:21:35.260
it a share. We'll be back in just
539
00:21:35.260 --> 00:21:39.680
a moment. The BitBox is Bitcoin hardware made
540
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.960
simple enough that a newcomer can set it
541
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.580
up in minutes, reliable enough that I regularly
542
00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:46.660
use it in tutorials and in front of
543
00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:49.120
a live audience, and has so many advanced
544
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:51.140
features that a power user will be right
545
00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:54.480
at home. Bitbox has a Bitcoin -only edition.
546
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.660
It supports multi -sig and minisccript, and it
547
00:21:56.660 --> 00:21:59.320
can even generate a spending lightning
wallet for
548
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:01.980
you. Your entropy comes from five sources, or

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:04.180
you can roll dice to get your own,
550
00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:06.760
and the anti -clepto feature protects you from

00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:09.960
any compromised firmware. Bitbox is great, whether you're
552
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:11.760

Unless for some reason you think they're about
560
00:22:33.560 --> 00:22:35.480
to stop printing and stop borrowing, you know
561
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:37.440
exactly where Bitcoin is going. And whether your
562
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:38.820
stack is already at the size, where you
563
00:22:38.820 --> 00:22:39.880
know you should do something about it, or
564
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:41.640
it's headed there, it's time your security caught
565
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:43.240
up. That's why you're going. you need CASA
566
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:46.260
Premium. Your Bitcoin secured across five keys. Three
567
00:22:46.260 --> 00:22:48.040
on hardware from different vendors, one on your
568
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:50.200
phone, and one held by CASA. Use any
569
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.440
three to sign, which means if you lose
570
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.240
one key, you don't lose your stack. It
571
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:54.880
also means that CASA can't move it without
572
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:56.900
you. The kit, devices and everything goes with
573
00:22:56.900 --> 00:22:58.040
it, ships right to your door, and their
574
00:22:58.040 --> 00:23:00.300
advisory team walks you through the full setup.
575
00:23:00.300 --> 00:23:01.080
And for those of you who care about
576
00:23:01.080 --> 00:23:02.660
privacy as much as I do, there's no
577
00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:04.560
KYC on the vault. Use any email you
578
00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:06.120
like, use any address you like. No one
579
00:23:06.120 --> 00:23:08.000
has to know your personal details. I know
580
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.140
what you're thinking, what if something happens to
581
00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:10.960
CASA? What about my family? Well, solve and
582
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.580

583
00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:14.500
open source tools like Sparrow. And as for
584
00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:16.620
your family, CASA inheritance means you're not leaving
585
00:23:16.620 --> 00:23:18.220
them a locked box with no key. You
586
00:23:18.220
--> 00:23:19.520
invite them with an email and their key
587
00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:21.160
lies dormant while you're still alive and should
588
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:22.840
that day ever come, you don't have to
589
00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.140
worry about them having to figure it out
590
00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:25.860
when you're not around to ask. You've already
591
00:23:25.860 --> 00:23:27.600

the description. All right. Just quickly interrupting Ben
611
00:24:13.760 --> 00:24:16.080
for the fun of it. Quick update. Preliminary
612
00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:18.240
indication, is this not a cyber attack anonymous
613
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.220
sources of reporting? Two law enforcement officials told
614
00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:22.920
CNN that preliminary reports indicate this is not
615
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.320
a cyber attack. A third law enforcement source
616
00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:27.240
told CNN that FBI personnel across the country
617
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.260
are continuing to monitor the situation. That's all
618
00:24:29.260 --> 00:24:30.760
I got. Go for. I just don't buy
619
00:24:30.760 --> 00:24:32.200
that. I don't buy that either. What else
620
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.500
they're going to say? What else they're going
621
00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:35.160
to say? It is a cyber attack. Actually,
622
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.740
they could just admit it was gross incompetence.
623
00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.740
That would be fine, too. I have no
624
00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:39.720
problem just shitting on government workers. Sorry, Ben.
625
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:41.840
That would be believable. I got it. They
626
00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:42.900
came out so they're not going to say
627
00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:45.380
that, but, you know, if they wanted to
628
00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:50.700
deflect. Mr. Consorty, how are you feeling? It's,
629
00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:54.000
we're below the 200 -day moving average hasn't
630
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:58.460
closed since there since summer, which summer was
631
00:24:58.460 --> 00:25:02.820
its own bag of misery for a lot
632
00:25:02.820 --> 00:25:05.140
of people for a lot of reasons. That
633
00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:07.040
said, I did just get a haircut and
634
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:10.000
pay my barber in Bitcoin at his request.
635
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.300
So people are still out there stacking. So,
636
00:25:13.300 --> 00:25:15.120
Joe, where are we at? What's going on?
637
00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:17.360
It's over, guys. I just sold all my
638
00:25:17.360 --> 00:25:21.580
Bitcoin. And I'm pivoting to the better coin.
639
00:25:21.580 --> 00:25:24.480
What's it? Z -Cash is the one or
640
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.260
whatever. I heard it was, I heard it
641
00:25:28.260 --> 00:25:31.980
was, what is it be? What's the Blake
642
00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:35.440
to be? He's joining the Blakers doesn't. Blake
643
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.700
to be or not to be. Yeah, no,
644
00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:39.400
it's incredible. I can't believe those guys are
645
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:41.200
still kicking it. It's really incredible. I think
646
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.400
Crater uploaded a video. Okay, they're also ridiculous,
647
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.800
but he uploaded a video like talking, it
648
00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:49.640
was just like waxing poetic extemporaneously about how
649
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:54.500
like XBT was Shakespearean or something. Just amazing
650
00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:57.640
stuff. Very cool. Gambler's dilemma. Gambler's dilemma. But
651
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.260
anyway, yeah, no, this is not good guys.
652
00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:02.300
Yeah, so we lost the in order. And
653
00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:05.260
this is the Bitcoin terminal. Subtle plug. I
654
00:26:05.260 --> 00:26:06.820
built this, and I think I thought this
655
00:26:06.820 --> 00:26:07.880
a couple of times before because I lost
656
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.880
access to my Bloomberg terminal. and I don't
657
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:11.260
want to pay several grand a month for
658
00:26:11.260 --> 00:26:13.980
one. These are all the key levels that
659
00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:15.560
we've blown through just in the last couple
660
00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:17.560
of days here. The 200 week moving average
661
00:26:17.560 --> 00:26:18.900
is in teal that's out at the very
662
00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:21.180
bottom. That's obviously the most important level as
663
00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:23.480
far as a bull market floor is concerned.
664
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:24.680
Right above it is the 200 -day moving
665
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:26.940
average, and we lost that pretty horribly. If
666
00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:28.900
you go back historically, I'll just turn off
667
00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:30.720
the other ones here for now. You can
668
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.580
see, just going back over five years, that
669
00:26:33.580 --> 00:26:35.380
this typically acts as something like a bull
670
00:26:35.380 --> 00:26:37.260
market floor of sorts and a bare market
671
00:26:37.260 --> 00:26:40.040
ceiling. you can see during bull and bears
672
00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:43.620
it holds quite well however unfortunately this time
673
00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:46.520
we have fallen underneath it and so back
674
00:26:46.520 --> 00:26:49.400
in a bear market territory potentially that said
675
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.620
during the last bull market we busted underneath
676
00:26:52.620 --> 00:26:55.580
this level numerous times during the bull itself
677
00:26:55.580 --> 00:26:57.280
so it's not actually all that reliable as
678
00:26:57.280 --> 00:26:59.900
far as delineating between bulls and bears on
679
00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:02.900
a macro scope sure but there are corrections
680
00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:04.960
underneath it during bull markets want to make
681
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.980
that abundantly clear i do tend to think
682
00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:08.360
we are still in a bull and the
683
00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:10.180
reason I say this is because when you
684
00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:12.060
look back at 2023 and then I'll talk
685
00:27:12.060 --> 00:27:13.880
about where we're at today when you look
686
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:17.240
back at 23 do you consider this to
687
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:18.880
be the start of the bull market or
688
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.100
you do you consider do you consider this
689
00:27:20.100 --> 00:27:21.080
to be the start of the bull market
690
00:27:21.080 --> 00:27:22.880
right personally I consider this to be the
691
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.280
start of the bull market and so even
692
00:27:24.280 --> 00:27:26.440
though we're going through something remarkably similar right
693
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:28.820
here to what happened when bitcoin was correcting
694
00:27:28.820 --> 00:27:30.640
in early 2023 after coming off the bottom
695
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:32.820
I still in hindsight believe this will be
696
00:27:32.820 --> 00:27:35.460
the start of the bull until and if
697
00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:37.760
we lose 58K, which I don't think we
698
00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:40.480
will. How it, so that all that is
699
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.860
to say this is happening for, if you
700
00:27:41.860 --> 00:27:44.280
want a more reliable, like, floor price, like
701
00:27:44.280 --> 00:27:46.060
this is the floor at which Bitcoin typically
702
00:27:46.060 --> 00:27:49.760
goes to during bear markets, then
the 200
703
00:27:49.760 --> 00:27:51.820
week is your friend. Obviously, the 200 week
704
00:27:51.820 --> 00:27:54.240
is roughly four years. Bitcoin, of course, operates
705
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.660
on a four -year cycle. It's nice and
706
00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:57.080
very clean. This is just the average price
707
00:27:57.080 --> 00:27:58.920
of Bitcoin over the last four years. It
708
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.060
held very well in 2019. In 2020, we
709
00:28:01.060 --> 00:28:02.820
were underneath it for all of eight days
710
00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:05.160
before coming back above it. 2020 is really
711
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:07.960
the only thing that bucked. the trend. Obviously,
712
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.260
throughout the entire summer, as you can see
713
00:28:09.260 --> 00:28:11.580
here, this is when the slew of crypto
714
00:28:11.580 --> 00:28:14.840
explosions began occurring, which dragged Bitcoin below the
715
00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:17.400
200 week. Initially, we started to recover, more
716
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:20.280
crypto explosions, and then FTX right here. And
717
00:28:20.280 --> 00:28:22.660
I think at the widest, the 200 week
718
00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:24.740
here is at 23 .9K. Bitcoin at this
719
00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.680
point went all the way down to like
720
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.400
15 .5. So we're talking an extremely steep
721
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:31.600
correction, right? A 25 to 30 % correction
722
00:28:31.600 --> 00:28:34.960
underneath the 200 week before recover. But all
723
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.960
things considered, typically speaking, Bitcoin ranges about 5,
724
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.800
10 % within the 200 week, as you
725
00:28:41.800 --> 00:28:44.600
can see here as well. So, where do
726
00:28:44.600 --> 00:28:45.880
we stand today? Well, this is the next
727
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.780
logical level up as far as potential support
728
00:28:48.780 --> 00:28:51.380
for Bitcoin goes. You can see here, right
729
00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:56.620
now, it's at about 67 .8K or so,
730
00:28:56.620 --> 00:28:59.300
$67 .8K or $500. So if some of
731
00:28:59.300 --> 00:29:00.660
you were watching this on replay, we might
732
00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:02.320
have already hit it. We managed to close
733
00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:05.340
yesterday above it. I expect to see a
734
00:29:05.340 --> 00:29:07.380
little bit of strength here, some choppiness sideways.
735
00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:08.760
If that breaks, then we've got a nice
736
00:29:08.760 --> 00:29:12.980
tight range here between the 60K level and
737
00:29:12.980 --> 00:29:16.820
the 65K level, 66 .5 or so. So
738
00:29:16.820 --> 00:29:19.180
either expect some choppiness here right around the
739
00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:21.260
200 week, just like we saw here, or
740
00:29:21.260 --> 00:29:23.000
expect us to dip a little bit lower
741
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:24.780
toward the low end of that range. But
742
00:29:24.780 --> 00:29:27.980
either way, expect choppiness. I don't think you're
743
00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:30.020
going to see a massive violent move all
744
00:29:30.020 --> 00:29:31.640
the way down to 58K, like you observed
745
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.360
over the last couple of days. the only
746
00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:35.780
reason you really saw this, it wasn't a
747
00:29:35.780 --> 00:29:37.440
leverage flush. There was just people selling their
748
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.940
Bitcoin for whatever reason, right? They were sort
749
00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:41.300
of catching up to the equity sell -off
750
00:29:41.300 --> 00:29:42.780
that occurred. But for some reason, in typical
751
00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:44.900
Bitcoin fashion, correlated on the way down, not
752
00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:46.440
correlated on the way up. These things are
753
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:48.880
sort of inexplainable. Thankfully, it wasn't a leverage
754
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.660
flush. It was spot selling. And the reason
755
00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:53.320
it really occurred is because there's just no
756
00:29:53.320 --> 00:29:57.160
logical support between the 200 -A, which we
757
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:59.020
just lost and the 200 -week. Like, you
758
00:29:59.020 --> 00:30:01.040
look through here, it's just a massive air
759
00:30:01.040 --> 00:30:03.500
pocket. And so once we lost this, there
760
00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:04.780
was no reason to not go to the
761
00:30:04.780 --> 00:30:06.680
200 week. And I spoke about that earlier
762
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:08.900
this week on a show that I made.
763
00:30:08.900 --> 00:30:09.820
And here we are. I didn't expect it
764
00:30:09.820 --> 00:30:11.620
to happen this soon, but here we are.
765
00:30:11.620 --> 00:30:13.980
And so, logically speaking, this is sort of
766
00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:16.480
where we're at. If we hold this and
767
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.600
we close the week above the 200 week,
768
00:30:18.600 --> 00:30:20.620
that's fantastic news that we closed below it,
769
00:30:20.620 --> 00:30:22.260
a little bit more tenuous. Look out down
770
00:30:22.260 --> 00:30:25.080
below. The Anthropic IPO is next week. Once
771
00:30:25.080 --> 00:30:27.980
that's cleared, if Bitcoin manages to hold the
772
00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:30.160
200 week, we'll begin moving up into mid
773
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.660
-December, I believe. If we fail that, I
774
00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:35.080
think we'll chop around until mid -December, barring
775
00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:38.020
a massive equity sell -off. Like, let's just
776
00:30:38.020 --> 00:30:40.060
say hypothetically, the correction we saw in equities
777
00:30:40.060 --> 00:30:41.880
after the massive sell -off early last week
778
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.060
was just a correction. And the bear market
779
00:30:44.060 --> 00:30:47.740
in equities is fully on. That's the only
780
00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:49.200
scenario in which I can see Bitcoin going
781
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.340
lower than $58K. I genuinely don't see it
782
00:30:51.340 --> 00:30:53.360
going any lower. If we don't chop here,
783
00:30:53.360 --> 00:30:54.720
we'll chop around there with sort of a
784
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.600
floor at like $62K. And then if we
785
00:30:57.600 --> 00:30:59.500
see a major equity correction, Bitcoin goes lower
786
00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:01.720
than that. But I just don't see a
787
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:04.740
2020. S. discounts to the 200 week moving
788
00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:09.420
average without an actual 2022 -esque event, if
789
00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:13.140
that makes sense. I always, I keep on
790
00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:16.680
feeling like the bear market this time is
791
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:19.140
lasting forever, just because sentiment was kind of,
792
00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:21.140
kind of crap in there, and there's been,
793
00:31:21.140 --> 00:31:24.400
you know, the hits to, you know, Bitcoin
794
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:27.760
on a, we'll call it on a more,
795
00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:30.660
I don't know, personal level, I suppose. Like,
796
00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:34.080
you know, we had the the back and
797
00:31:34.080 --> 00:31:37.080
forth at everybody for the Bip 110, all
798
00:31:37.080 --> 00:31:39.080
that kind of crap, flushing that out. But
799
00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:41.740
then we had this self -custody disaster through
800
00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:44.900
the summer with cold card. And then just
801
00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:47.560
kind of, it's just been vulnerabilities left, right
802
00:31:47.560 --> 00:31:51.120
and center. You know, not only Bitcoin, but
803
00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:53.300
it just doesn't help when you're constantly kind
804
00:31:53.300 --> 00:31:56.380
of looking over your shoulder. It's easy to
805
00:31:56.380 --> 00:31:59.940
forget that even last, the beginning of last
806
00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:04.040
cycle, it was unprecedented. for us to hit
807
00:32:04.040 --> 00:32:06.980
a new all -time high pre -having. And
808
00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:08.900
we're still, what, a year and a bit
809
00:32:08.900 --> 00:32:10.660
out from the having? I'm not quite sure
810
00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:12.340
when the, I'll look when the next having
811
00:32:12.340 --> 00:32:15.120
is. But it's, we're a ways away from
812
00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:18.780
even that. And before this last cycle, we
813
00:32:18.780 --> 00:32:20.820
typically never hit a new all -time high
814
00:32:20.820 --> 00:32:25.820
until well after the having. So, you know,
815
00:32:25.820 --> 00:32:28.780
I guess just hang in there is my
816
00:32:28.780 --> 00:32:32.660
message to everybody. It's, uh, I know it's,
817
00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:35.300
you know, it feels, uh, like it's just
818
00:32:35.300 --> 00:32:37.800
dragon, but, um, you know, the people that
819
00:32:37.800 --> 00:32:40.160
use the opportunity, you know, if do you
820
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:43.420
ever think Bitcoin will ever even just reattain
821
00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:47.560
its previous top price? If so, I mean,
822
00:32:47.560 --> 00:32:49.820
you got a 50 % discount right now.
823
00:32:49.820 --> 00:32:51.120
So I'll give you a bit of data
824
00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:54.100
here, Joe, I love the 200 week. I
825
00:32:54.100 --> 00:32:56.040
tweeted today about the 50 month, basically the
826
00:32:56.040 --> 00:32:58.860
same number. Okay, Joe, you're the, uh, you're
827
00:32:58.860 --> 00:33:00.940
the lion's guy in the room here. since
828
00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:04.620
2014, every time it trades around this level,
829
00:33:04.620 --> 00:33:06.860
call it the 50 month moving average, what
830
00:33:06.860 --> 00:33:09.860
do you think buyers are up at minimum
831
00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:13.700
two years later? Sorry about that. My wife
832
00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:15.100
just texted me a selfie of the baby
833
00:33:15.100 --> 00:33:17.820
sleeping. Excellent. We love you. Love to hear
834
00:33:17.820 --> 00:33:19.500
that. I could run through a wall. Love
835
00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:23.580
to hear that. Yes. Bitcoin at the 50
836
00:33:23.580 --> 00:33:25.720
month moving average, 200 week moving average. They're
837
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.460
very close. If you were a buyer at
838
00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:29.760
that level since 2014, what is the minimum
839
00:33:29.760 --> 00:33:32.100
you were. up two years later. Oh, my
840
00:33:32.100 --> 00:33:33.780
gosh. You were up. So I did a
841
00:33:33.780 --> 00:33:35.680
video, not on this specifically, but I did
842
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.240
over any, over any, uh,! Interval similar to
843
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:40.480
this. And I'll tell you what the number
844
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:41.520
is if you want to hear it. Okay,
845
00:33:41.520 --> 00:33:43.800
tell me what the number is. 177%. There
846
00:33:43.800 --> 00:33:46.340
you go. Bang. Undefeated. Yeah. So I found,
847
00:33:46.340 --> 00:33:48.380
um, gosh, I think it was the analysis
848
00:33:48.380 --> 00:33:52.800
I did in, uh, yesterday's video, was moments
849
00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:56.440
like this, when Bitcoin was this underpriced relative
850
00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.920
to stocks relative to gold. And this close
851
00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:01.060
to the two in a week moving average
852
00:34:01.060 --> 00:34:03.180
in the year that followed like on a
853
00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:04.760
median basis you're going to be have 120
854
00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:06.780
% do you do the rs i joe
855
00:34:06.780 --> 00:34:08.120
in your analysis i didn't look at any
856
00:34:08.120 --> 00:34:10.220
rs i stuff like i don't but it's
857
00:34:10.220 --> 00:34:11.700
got it's got to be way oversold at
858
00:34:11.700 --> 00:34:14.200
this level has to be yeah you you
859
00:34:14.200 --> 00:34:16.900
can't have something like this happen and have
860
00:34:16.900 --> 00:34:18.940
it not be oversold yeah so like for
861
00:34:18.940 -->
00:34:20.980
for again and this is also i i
862
00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:23.020
just did a i just wrapped up a
863
00:34:23.020 --> 00:34:24.820
a live call with my group it's like
864
00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:27.480
in times like these the bulls get like
865
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:29.580
the bears get way too overzealous and so
866
00:34:29.580 --> 00:34:31.060
i'm sure you guys are seeing people call
867
00:34:31.060 --> 00:34:33.180
for like 40k they're like yep i knew
868
00:34:33.180 --> 00:34:35.380
it 40k's on the way and in the
869
00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:36.880
same way when we were closing in on
870
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.860
126k where we were we top last year
871
00:34:39.860 --> 00:34:42.180
people were saying guys quarter million dollars is
872
00:34:42.180 --> 00:34:44.240
just a hop -skipping to jump away everyone
873
00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:45.800
gets overzealous at these points and so it's
874
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.080
important to zoom out understand like why is
875
00:34:48.080 --> 00:34:50.420
this something happening how overbought or oversold are
876
00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:53.460
we and like just look at the technical
877
00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:54.800
levels and then also look at the amount
878
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:56.200
of time bitcoin is spent in these ranges
879
00:34:56.200 --> 00:34:58.120
and like yes it is astrology to some
880
00:34:58.120 --> 00:35:00.220
degree but also understand that like like the
881
00:35:00.220 --> 00:35:02.240
macro backdrop is tight, the anthropic IPO is
882
00:35:02.240 --> 00:35:03.960
next week, two more Fed rate hikes just
883
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:05.680
came on the table after a hot print.
884
00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:08.000
We had an massive equity correction. Like a
885
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:09.240
little bit of air being let out of
886
00:35:09.240 --> 00:35:10.740
Bitcoin is not the end of the world,
887
00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:13.640
particularly when we're still not even close to
888
00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:31.040
the cycle bottom. Love it. which is right
889
00:35:31.040 --> 00:35:34.100
where the what do you call it the
890
00:35:34.100 --> 00:35:36.060
200 -week movie averages, then we break below
891
00:35:36.060 --> 00:35:38.960
the power law floor. That model is validated.
892
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:41.000
So that's another thing to consider. So a
893
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.060
lot of people arguably will be defending that.
894
00:35:43.060 --> 00:35:44.760
But if you take a look here and,
895
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:45.820
Ben, do your point about the feeling that
896
00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:48.280
this Bitcoin bear market is drawn on forever,
897
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.160
if the bottom was in all the way
898
00:35:51.160 --> 00:35:52.700
back in June, which is still my case
899
00:35:52.700 --> 00:35:53.980
that it is, then it was actually the
900
00:35:53.980 --> 00:35:56.300
shortest bear market on record. However, as of
901
00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:59.660
today,
ironically, literally as of today, this, this
902
00:35:59.660 --> 00:36:01.220
is, This is officially, if we find a
903
00:36:01.220 --> 00:36:03.260
newer low, this is the longest bare market
904
00:36:03.260 --> 00:36:05.940
in history. The reason you don't see any
905
00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:09.500
new data for today is because this chart
906
00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:13.500
stops at the 2013 -2015 cycle, because that
907
00:36:13.500 --> 00:36:15.500
was the longest bear market. If we find
908
00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:17.860
another low and factoring in the time it
909
00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:19.480
will take to find another low and just
910
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:21.080
not assuming it'll fall there in the next
911
00:36:21.080 --> 00:36:23.680
week, then this will be by several weeks,
912
00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:25.540
if not several months, the longest bear market
913
00:36:25.540 --> 00:36:27.100
on record. But I don't think it'll be
914
00:36:27.100 --> 00:36:30.760
that way, but just wanted to highlight. that
915
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:32.140
data point because I feel like that's pretty
916
00:36:32.140 --> 00:36:34.520
significant. That's awesome. I got a couple quick
917
00:36:34.520 --> 00:36:35.920
things to throw in there. First and foremost,
918
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:36.900
I want to point out, for those of
919
00:36:36.900 --> 00:36:38.500
you that don't know, that Joe's monitor is
920
00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:40.700
actually so big, you can hear when he
921
00:36:40.700 --> 00:36:42.080
has to move away to go look at
922
00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:43.380
the other side of the screen. Things the
923
00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:45.320
beast, I've seen it for. It looks like
924
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.700
a skateboard. It's amazing. That's great. And then
925
00:36:48.700 --> 00:36:50.740
for any of our wonderful friends that may
926
00:36:50.740 --> 00:36:51.880
be hanging out at an airport, a couple
927
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:53.820
quick updates, over 9 ,000 flights are now
928
00:36:53.820 --> 00:36:56.840
delayed. Nav Canada is monitoring the situation closely
929
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:58.280
with nothing grounded as of yet. There's no
930
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.480
US departures scheduled. something kind of out of
931
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:03.960
Toronto Pearson. And it has been extended, expected
932
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.760
to 1130 p .m. Eastern now as well.
933
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:08.680
So that time is getting pushed up. Just
934
00:37:08.680 --> 00:37:09.820
want to get those in there. Brandon, your
935
00:37:09.820 --> 00:37:12.640
thoughts on Bitcoin not doing so good. Yeah,
936
00:37:12.640 --> 00:37:14.540
I mean, these are great points. I love,
937
00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:15.760
you know, the joy, the chart that you
938
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:17.480
posted earlier today. And then what you're showing
939
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:20.860
here, Joe, so good. You know, again, there's
940
00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:23.560
all this
negativity. And again, I think Ben,
941
00:37:23.560 --> 00:37:24.640
you would kind of mention that. Like all
942
00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:26.880
the negative stuff that's happened this year, every
943
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.680
bull and bearer has their own different uniqueness.
944
00:37:29.680 --> 00:37:31.220
to it, right? The different events that happen,
945
00:37:31.220 --> 00:37:33.540
the different Black Swans that happen, the China
946
00:37:33.540 --> 00:37:35.000
ban. Like, some of these things can't happen
947
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.580
over again. So they, other things happen, which
948
00:37:37.580 --> 00:37:39.640
extends it like Joe just said or whatever
949
00:37:39.640 --> 00:37:41.140
it might happen. So all the negativity that's
950
00:37:41.140 --> 00:37:43.180
happened to Bitcoin this year, the forking and
951
00:37:43.180 --> 00:37:45.220
the custody stuff is, it is pretty remarkable
952
00:37:45.220 --> 00:37:47.100
to see how much we have held, even
953
00:37:47.100 --> 00:37:49.780
though it's painful. And, you know, you're sucked
954
00:37:49.780 --> 00:37:51.700
back into like cheap sats, which is amazing,
955
00:37:51.700 --> 00:37:53.500
right? People have worried about how are the
956
00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:55.280
plebs going to get in. Well, they've had
957
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:56.980
17 years to get in. And then we've
958
00:37:56.980 --> 00:37:58.600
tried to power rank, who's a pleb, who's
959
00:37:58.600 --> 00:38:00.580
not? not, can the big guys get in?
960
00:38:00.580 --> 00:38:02.120
What is Sailor doing? And of course, it's
961
00:38:02.120 --> 00:38:04.560
permission money. It's money for enemy. So everyone
962
00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:05.780
can get in at any time. And that's
963
00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:08.020
the beauty of it. And, you know, at
964
00:38:08.020 --> 00:38:08.780
the end of the day, what does it,
965
00:38:08.780 --> 00:38:11.260
what does it prove to all of us?
966
00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:12.520
Like some of the things that have happened,
967
00:38:12.520 --> 00:38:14.800
like is there isn't where are there is
968
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.620
there price suppression? You know, and at just
969
00:38:17.620 --> 00:38:19.760
a global scale, like how much do people
970
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:21.220
care about sound money, right? How much do
971
00:38:21.220 --> 00:38:23.720
they know about money? How much are people
972
00:38:23.720 --> 00:38:25.540
looking for dopamine hits? You know, because I
973
00:38:25.540 --> 00:38:26.800
think a lot of us, the Bitcoiners, we
974
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.340
look at it and we're like, it's just
975
00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:30.400
so obvious. You know where the system's going.
976
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.000
You know where things are headed. You've seen
977
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.120
this playing out your entire life. And you
978
00:38:35.120 --> 00:38:38.060
know, okay, I need to position myself somewhere.
979
00:38:38.060 --> 00:38:39.320
But is it, hey, I'm just, you know,
980
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:40.980
society is addicted to these dopamine hits? Or
981
00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:41.980
is it the fear of stuff we were
982
00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:44.040
kind of talking about earlier? Or is it
983
00:38:44.040 --> 00:38:47.440
the state -sponsored FUD endlessly for 17 years,
984
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:49.320
like we said, and I'm a big proponent
985
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:51.140
of most of the, almost all FUD is
986
00:38:51.140 --> 00:38:52.580
come from the state in some way, shape,
987
00:38:52.580 --> 00:38:53.940
or fashion? Is it just a part of
988
00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:56.040
the younger crowd needs to be more involved?
989
00:38:56.040 --> 00:38:58.440
It's just time doing the heavy lifting. People
990
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:00.540
are used to stocks. I mean, I don't
991
00:39:00.540 --> 00:39:02.000
know how many people, you know, think about
992
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:03.540
it or no, but in the 20th century,
993
00:39:03.540 --> 00:39:05.680
you had, you know, stocks were just, you
994
00:39:05.680 --> 00:39:07.400
know, this, this thing that was just, you
995
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:08.660
know, not pie in the sky, but it
996
00:39:08.660 --> 00:39:10.140
was this thing that people didn't, they weren't
997
00:39:10.140 --> 00:39:11.860
really into it, right? Like, it wasn't something
998
00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:13.180
where you just jumped on, you didn't have
999
00:39:13.180 --> 00:39:15.460
internet, obviously, but people weren't trading in stocks
1000
00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:16.700
all the time. And as the 20th century
1001
00:39:16.700 --> 00:39:19.860
wore on, then they'll really call it what,
1002
00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:21.640
probably the 80s, it really became this thing
1003
00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:22.960
where people started to get it into the
1004
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:24.500
stock market. Are we going to see that,
1005
00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:25.520
well, are we going to see it and
1006
00:39:25.520 --> 00:39:27.500
when do we see that switch from, hey,
1007
00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:29.520
you know what, the stocks, we're transferring from
1008
00:39:29.520 --> 00:39:32.060
that world to this sound money world, we'll
1009
00:39:32.060 --> 00:39:34.540
call it, whether it's, you know, metals, Bitcoin,
1010
00:39:34.540 --> 00:39:36.860
things of that nature. That, that to me
1011
00:39:36.860 --> 00:39:38.320
are some of the questions I think of,
1012
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.060
and when do we have these transition periods
1013
00:39:40.060 --> 00:39:42.620
to this? Because, you know, part of your
1014
00:39:42.620 --> 00:39:44.360
mind just thinks, like, how is it taking
1015
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.700
this long with all the information out there?
1016
00:39:47.700 --> 00:39:50.000
and the ability to look up things up,
1017
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:51.800
whether it's AI or whatever it might be,
1018
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:53.940
to go find the answers to what's
happening
1019
00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:55.500
in your life. And so that, that to
1020
00:39:55.500 --> 00:39:58.420
me, is really interesting. And what changes that?
1021
00:39:58.420 --> 00:40:04.080
What's, you know, so anyway, go ahead. I
1022
00:40:04.080 --> 00:40:05.520
wasn't trying to take over for anybody. I
1023
00:40:05.520 --> 00:40:07.280
was waiting for that end of rant, but
1024
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:08.260
I guess you're not like Walker. You won't
1025
00:40:08.260 --> 00:40:09.480
team me up before we get in there.
1026
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.460
I thought. I'm trying to take it. Oh,
1027
00:40:11.460 --> 00:40:12.500
no, no, your goal. And there. I'll get
1028
00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:14.000
Joey's taking just a second here. But also
1029
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:15.060
just wanted to add, because I was getting
1030
00:40:15.060 --> 00:40:16.600
this in the back chat here. Congress approved
1031
00:40:16.600 --> 00:40:18.440
$12 .5 billion. last year to fix the
1032
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:20.940
FAA's aging communication system. And on Friday, the
1033
00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:23.520
FAA and the White House asked Congress for
1034
00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:25.980
another $30 .1 billion. So I guess we
1035
00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:27.600
just need to keep doubling the budget. Also,
1036
00:40:27.600 --> 00:40:32.000
no, today's Friday the 13th. Oh, my God.
1037
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:36.080
Everything is just stacking on. Also, first, there's
1038
00:40:36.080 --> 00:40:38.620
no official comments of foul play. Homeland Security
1039
00:40:38.620 --> 00:40:41.680
Secretary said there's no indication yet. I feel
1040
00:40:41.680 --> 00:40:42.760
like yet is doing a lot of work
1041
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:44.760
in that sentence of nefarious acts behind the
1042
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.500
communications issue. So I got there on that
1043
00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:50.520
one. Joey, your thoughts? Yeah, no further comment
1044
00:40:50.520 --> 00:40:51.600
at this time. I don't think about the
1045
00:40:51.600 --> 00:40:55.180
FAA stuff. I, you know, went into detail
1046
00:40:55.180 --> 00:40:56.720
a little bit with Joe and on my
1047
00:40:56.720 --> 00:40:58.860
own Twitter feed about the price of Bitcoin.
1048
00:40:58.860 --> 00:41:02.400
Look, Joe said it to. We are so,
1049
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:03.760
I don't want to say tightly correlated, but
1050
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.140
certainly correlated with markets on the way down.
1051
00:41:06.140 --> 00:41:08.120
And unfortunately, it's just not the same on
1052
00:41:08.120 --> 00:41:09.740
the way up. I had a conversation today
1053
00:41:09.740 --> 00:41:11.880
with a friend of mine who will remain
1054
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:15.260
nameless about how there is, I think, there
1055
00:41:15.260 --> 00:41:17.720
is a transitional moment happening for Bitcoin. and
1056
00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:19.640
Bitcoiners right now, especially guys who have been
1057
00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:21.880
in it for a long time. And I'd
1058
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:22.880
be curious to hear you guys' thoughts. I
1059
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.480
don't know what the break cadences here. I
1060
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:27.300
suspect we're close, but, you know, there was
1061
00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:29.380
a time in like 2017, 18, 19, where
1062
00:41:29.380 --> 00:41:31.340
you could buy Bitcoin with the expectation that
1063
00:41:31.340 --> 00:41:34.360
you were going to get rich, quickish, right?
1064
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.100
This thing was on the come -up. Everyone
1065
00:41:36.100 --> 00:41:38.300
was sort of understanding that wealth preservation was
1066
00:41:38.300 --> 00:41:41.280
important and not necessarily limited to equities and
1067
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:43.520
real estate and all that stuff. Those people
1068
00:41:43.520 --> 00:41:45.720
were right. That era did make out like
1069
00:41:45.720 --> 00:41:47.980
bandits, right? if you are buyer in 2017,
1070
00:41:47.980 --> 00:41:51.180
18, 19, whatever. And again, in COVID, obviously,
1071
00:41:51.180 --> 00:41:53.240
you know, you did very well. But now
1072
00:41:53.240 --> 00:41:55.800
it feels to me and to this person
1073
00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:57.860
as well that Bitcoin, and I've said this
1074
00:41:57.860 --> 00:41:59.220
too, maybe in not so many words, and
1075
00:41:59.220 --> 00:42:01.120
we've all, I think, agreed on this. It's
1076
00:42:01.120 --> 00:42:03.740
about preserving both wealth and freedom in a
1077
00:42:03.740 --> 00:42:05.680
way that maybe it wasn't a few years
1078
00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:08.580
ago. You know, you have your black rocks
1079
00:42:08.580 --> 00:42:11.140
involved now. You have your governments involved now.
1080
00:42:11.140 --> 00:42:14.120
It's a known asset. The friends who didn't
1081
00:42:14.120 --> 00:42:15.820
know anything about it five years ago, not
1082
00:42:15.820 --> 00:42:19.160
tell you it's boring in 2026. And I
1083
00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:23.300
don't think there's less value in holding Bitcoin.
1084
00:42:23.300 --> 00:42:24.980
But I do think the likelihood that you're
1085
00:42:24.980 --> 00:42:26.540
going to see, you know, and you pointed
1086
00:42:26.540 --> 00:42:29.440
out, Joe, too, in your chart analysis there,
1087
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.040
violent moves to the upside that change your
1088
00:42:32.040 --> 00:42:34.320
life, you know, in a night or in
1089
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:36.900
a quarter or even in a year. You
1090
00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:38.280
know, I hate to say it, but it
1091
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:39.920
feels to me like those days might be
1092
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:43.640
done short of some significant and immediate and
1093
00:42:43.640 --> 00:42:48.140
overwhelming government intervention. as far as liquidity injections
1094
00:42:48.140 --> 00:42:50.520
and stuff like that. So it's not a
1095
00:42:50.520 --> 00:42:53.560
bad thing. That comes with a maturing
asset.
1096
00:42:53.560 --> 00:42:55.360
I think a lot of times Bitcoiners in
1097
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:59.960
the 2020, 2021, 2022, maybe even before, guys
1098
00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:03.000
like Rochard and Bittstein, you know, that era
1099
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:06.860
of Bitcoin thinker, we always had to deal
1100
00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:09.460
with criticism about volatility. And one of the
1101
00:43:09.460 --> 00:43:11.980
things we said was that we were going
1102
00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:15.460
to experience less volatility as the asset class
1103
00:43:15.460 --> 00:43:18.240
became more liquid and more mature. And we're
1104
00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:20.060
seeing that now. Is that not what we
1105
00:43:20.060 --> 00:43:22.840
wanted years ago? That goes both ways, you
1106
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.280
know, that violent move to the upside is
1107
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:26.880
not going to be there. And also, you're
1108
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:29.920
not going to see these drops, you know,
1109
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.480
50 % in a week or whatever, like
1110
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:33.720
you did in the past, right, short of
1111
00:43:33.720 --> 00:43:36.300
exchange blowups and whatnot. But a great example
1112
00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:37.760
of this is the Binance thing. The Binance
1113
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:39.360
thing would have sent us, you know, the
1114
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:42.480
seventh circle of hell five years ago. And,
1115
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:44.220
you know, the week that just passed was
1116
00:43:44.220 --> 00:43:45.760
barely a blip, right? you're sort of more
1117
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:47.880
correlated with Nvidia than you are with CZ.
1118
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:50.440
That's a dream from 2020. And here we
1119
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.000
are now, you know, some of us anyway
1120
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:56.180
complaining about the correlation. So just take your
1121
00:43:56.180 --> 00:43:58.640
wins with your losses and enjoy the stability
1122
00:43:58.640 --> 00:44:01.820
of your, you know, favorite outside money asset.
1123
00:44:01.820 --> 00:44:03.800
Because it wasn't like that years ago, man.
1124
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:07.220
We dealt with whiplash for a long, long,
1125
00:44:07.220 --> 00:44:09.840
long time in this space. Now you have
1126
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:11.080
this thing that's a little more calm and
1127
00:44:11.080 --> 00:44:12.600
a little more palatable, which is nice for
1128
00:44:12.600 --> 00:44:15.000
some people. Well, the highs of knowing that
1129
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.780
you were right comes from all these lows
1130
00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:18.480
of everyone thinking that you're wrong. So just
1131
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:20.400
go, just feel right. That's part of it.
1132
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:21.560
That's part of it too, right? Can you
1133
00:44:21.560 --> 00:44:23.280
duck on your group chat? Yes or no?
1134
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:24.240
Yeah, just give it time. By the way,
1135
00:44:24.240 --> 00:44:25.480
I did find another update here. I think
1136
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:27.560
we may have found possibly the issue that's
1137
00:44:27.560 --> 00:44:28.700
going on. I just want to throw that
1138
00:44:28.700 --> 00:44:31.000
one in there quick. Maybe related to some
1139
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:32.900
of the air traffic problems. This is the
1140
00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:36.000
most sloppy AI graphic you'll ever see on
1141
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:37.140
this show. He put that together. Look at
1142
00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:41.100
all of the artifacts. I know. It's crazy.
1143
00:44:41.100 --> 00:44:44.280
Ben. Ben. Beautifully done. I have no complaints.
1144
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.600
Zero notes. I love it. Joe, I did
1145
00:44:47.600 --> 00:44:51.900
want to ask as well, with Bitcoin, taking
1146
00:44:51.900 --> 00:44:53.780
a bit of a dump, although, again, as
1147
00:44:53.780 --> 00:44:57.440
Joey said, not as crazy as previous bear
1148
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:01.960
markets. However, just looking over at Strategy, Michael
1149
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:05.760
Saylor, all that stuff, they have a, I
1150
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.860
think, a $75 ,000 average purchase price. what
1151
00:45:10.860 --> 00:45:17.020
is that doing to MSTR and that umbrella
1152
00:45:17.020 --> 00:45:20.360
of assets right now? Right. Yeah, so, I
1153
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.880
mean, as far as strategy stock is concerned,
1154
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:25.120
you're going to continue to see a major
1155
00:45:25.120 --> 00:45:28.820
sell -off leading into November 30th of date
1156
00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:30.900
when all of the MSCI ETS are forced
1157
00:45:30.900 --> 00:45:37.140
to sell. these, the MSCR common stock, and
1158
00:45:37.140 --> 00:45:39.060
also Bitcoin being dragged down quite a bit
1159
00:45:39.060 --> 00:45:40.820
doesn't help. As far as their average purchase
1160
00:45:40.820 --> 00:45:46.460
price, now that their leverage ratio is, let
1161
00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:48.980
me look at these site, 3 .1%. Their
1162
00:45:48.980 --> 00:45:51.900
average purchase price doesn't really matter because they're
1163
00:45:51.900 --> 00:45:53.140
never going to be forced to sell their
1164
00:45:53.140 --> 00:45:55.920
Bitcoin. So, that's quite nice. I mean, if
1165
00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:58.460
anything, all it really means is that if
1166
00:45:58.460 --> 00:46:00.060
we do move into a sustained risk off
1167
00:46:00.060 --> 00:46:02.580
period. And let's say, STRC does super well
1168
00:46:02.580 --> 00:46:04.440
during a sustained risk off period, then they'll
1169
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:05.560
be able to lower it. That's like the
1170
00:46:05.560 --> 00:46:07.680
first thing that comes to mind. But, yeah,
1171
00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:09.320
not too concerned about their average purchase price
1172
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:11.400
because they don't use the Bitcoin as collateral
1173
00:46:11.400
--> 00:46:15.460
for anything. But it is expected to see
1174
00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:18.420
MSTR underperform more than it typically does as
1175
00:46:18.420 --> 00:46:20.140
Bitcoin continues selling off here because it also
1176
00:46:20.140 --> 00:46:23.920
has the event risk of the MSCI exclusion,
1177
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:25.720
which just went into effect Wednesday or is
1178
00:46:25.720 --> 00:46:28.460
going to go into effect on November 30th
1179
00:46:28.460 --> 00:46:30.520
and all the force selling that will ensue
1180
00:46:30.520 --> 00:46:34.160
afterward. I do expect heavy dip buying, though,
1181
00:46:34.160 --> 00:46:36.300
because obviously, you've got, you know, the MSTR
1182
00:46:36.300 --> 00:46:37.800
true believers who are going to pile in
1183
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:40.200
with all their money. Yeah, I was about
1184
00:46:40.200 --> 00:46:42.320
to ask if we could get a Joe
1185
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:46.900
consortia analysis on Joey's bags between MSTR. I'll
1186
00:46:46.900 --> 00:46:48.280
tell you right now, what my, what is
1187
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:50.500
my, what's the status of my bags here?
1188
00:46:50.500 --> 00:46:55.080
My MSTR bag is now underwater, hold on
1189
00:46:55.080 --> 00:46:58.980
a minute, it's now underwater. Oh, my goodness.
1190
00:46:58.980 --> 00:47:00.380
How do I, how do I see it?
1191
00:47:00.380 --> 00:47:01.760
Oh, here we go. Yes. I meant to
1192
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:03.960
zoom out to 16%, so that's, so that's
1193
00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:07.180
not good. My Nvidia bag is up. I
1194
00:47:07.180 --> 00:47:09.380
mean, obviously, I'm a really forward thinker, so
1195
00:47:09.380 --> 00:47:10.740
I was in that for a long time.
1196
00:47:10.740 --> 00:47:13.160
But MSTR, not so much. Yeah, I'm going
1197
00:47:13.160 --> 00:47:15.080
lately there. And how, why didn't you see
1198
00:47:15.080 --> 00:47:18.320
the Huang thing coming? Hey, listen, three Wongs
1199
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:19.780
don't make a right, okay? And so I'm
1200
00:47:19.780 --> 00:47:21.720
waiting for the fourth affair before I pass
1201
00:47:21.720 --> 00:47:26.260
judgment. Guys, the pre -show chat was lit.
1202
00:47:26.260 --> 00:47:30.140
It was nothing but Huang, like, just all
1203
00:47:30.140 --> 00:47:32.020
the puns that you could imagine. imagine. The
1204
00:47:32.020 --> 00:47:35.940
wrong memes are amazing. 30 Huang puns. I
1205
00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:37.020
thought we were all going to wear leather
1206
00:47:37.020 --> 00:47:38.800
jackets tonight in solid days. We got to
1207
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:42.680
get with a big -ass logo. Yeah, exactly.
1208
00:47:42.680 --> 00:47:43.560
All right, Jens, we're going to go to
1209
00:47:43.560 --> 00:47:45.620
break here. On the other side of break,
1210
00:47:45.620 --> 00:47:46.660
Joe, I do want to come back to
1211
00:47:46.660 --> 00:47:48.760
you because there's some other stuff in and
1212
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:51.600
around PPI inflation and a whole bunch of
1213
00:47:51.600 --> 00:47:54.300
numbers that would be good to have you
1214
00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:56.280
parse through a little bit while we're here.
1215
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:57.900
Just give us kind of a broader view
1216
00:47:57.900 --> 00:47:59.780
of where we're at and what the hell
1217
00:47:59.780 --> 00:48:02.320
is going on. Plenty other stuff to touch
1218
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:04.440
on as well. So everybody, stay tuned. Drop
1219
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:06.840
a like, give a share. Toss a handful
1220
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:08.500
of chairs in the chat. It's Friday the
1221
00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:11.020
13th. Make it bloody in there. We'll be
1222
00:48:11.020 --> 00:48:14.240
back in just a moment. The guys over
1223
00:48:14.240 --> 00:48:16.160
at Stamps Seed genuinely surprised me with this
1224
00:48:16.160 --> 00:48:17.060
one. I actually had to reach out and
1225
00:48:17.060 --> 00:48:19.060
double check before hitting record. So for the
1226
00:48:19.060 --> 00:48:20.620
month of November, they're having their best pricing
1227
00:48:20.620 --> 00:48:22.680
ever, and it's not even close. Their seed
1228
00:48:22.680 --> 00:48:25.720
stamping kit is 42 % off. Plus, promo
1229
00:48:25.720 --> 00:48:28.060
code BitCast still gets you another 15 %
1230
00:48:28.060 --> 00:48:29.340
off on top of that. And of course,
1231
00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:30.600
it works on everything else in the store.
1232
00:48:30.600 --> 00:48:32.540
clear code set included for your past phrases
1233
00:48:32.540 --> 00:48:34.560
and descriptors. If your seed phrase is still
1234
00:48:34.560 --> 00:48:36.240
on paper, it's never been cheaper to fix
1235
00:48:36.240 --> 00:48:38.360
that. Titanium never rusts, it survives a house
1236
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.680
fire, one solid piece, nothing to come apart.
1237
00:48:40.680 --> 00:48:42.100
Stamp your backup once and never worried about
1238
00:48:42.100 --> 00:48:43.660
again. This is what I personally use and
1239
00:48:43.660 --> 00:48:45.380
have for years. So grab yours today, use
1240
00:48:45.380 --> 00:48:47.040
promo code Bitcast, scan the QR code on
1241
00:48:47.040 --> 00:48:48.000

description down below. Again, that's promo code Bitcast
1243
00:48:50.220 --> 00:48:52.140
for over half off your seed stamping kit,
1244
00:48:52.140 --> 00:48:54.880
but only for the month of November. Most
1245
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:57.280
exchanges keep your Bitcoin by default. Bitcoin well
1246
00:48:57.280 --> 00:48:58.700
sends it straight to your wallet where it
1247
00:48:58.700 --> 00:49:00.600
belongs. That's why we've been recommending them for
1248
00:49:00.600 --> 00:49:02.120
years, but that's not all that they do.
1249
00:49:02.120 --> 00:49:03.740
For anyone looking to make a big purchase,
1250
00:49:03.740 --> 00:49:05.280

1251
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:06.660

planning, even lending and mining. Infinite pairs with
1254
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:12.600
your own dedicated advisor to help you through
1255
00:49:12.600 --> 00:49:14.760
the whole journey. And for our American friends,
1256
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:17.240
they finally launched their Bitcoin IRA. Traditional or
1257
00:49:17.240 --> 00:49:19.240
Roth, you can roll over an existing 401k,
1258
00:49:19.240 --> 00:49:20.660

1259
00:49:20.660 --> 00:49:23.200
can verify. So, head to Bitcoinwell .com slash

down below. That's Bitcoinwell .com slash BTC Sessions.
1263
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:32.560
company I like pointing people to when they
1264
00:49:32.560 --> 00:49:35.700
ask about Bitcoin mining is abundant mines. They
1265
00:49:35.700 --> 00:49:38.140
were founded by Bo and Christine Turner after
1266
00:49:38.140 --> 00:49:40.460
losing over half a million dollars to broken
1267
00:49:40.460 --> 00:49:43.100
promises in the mining industry, and they built
1268
00:49:43.100 --> 00:49:46.000
their hosting model to remove the usual headaches.
1269
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:48.660
With abundant mines, you own your machines and
1270
00:49:48.660 --> 00:49:51.240
keep 100 % of the Bitcoin you mine.
1271
00:49:51.240 --> 00:49:54.400
There's no revenue share, no hidden skims. Pricing
1272
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:57.900
is simple. One flat monthly fee covers power,
1273
00:49:57.900 --> 00:50:01.560
parts, labor, and repairs. They also guarantee uptime.
1274
00:50:01.560 --> 00:50:03.600
The machine goes down, their hash rate redirect
1275
00:50:03.600 --> 00:50:06.440
system routes hash power from their fleet, so
1276
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:09.160
earnings don't just stop, and every machine is
1277
00:50:09.160 --> 00:50:12.780
insured at full replacement value. Everything is hosted
1278
00:50:12.780 --> 00:50:15.260
in the U .S., powered by hydro, and
1279
00:50:15.260 --> 00:50:18.300
mining equipment may qualify for 100 % year

-one bonus depreciation. Learn more at abundant mines

1282
00:50:26.700 --> 00:50:28.800
in there with regards to the FAA situation.
1283
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:30.940
An anonymous controller said the first notice was
1284
00:50:30.940 --> 00:50:33.260
the frequency issue at an East Coast airport
1285
00:50:33.260 --> 00:50:35.580
around 3 -36 p .m. Eastern. Two more
1286
00:50:35.580 --> 00:50:39.260
towers reported the same problem within minutes. Additionally,
1287
00:50:39.260 --> 00:50:40.820
an aggregator was saying there was suggesting that
1288
00:50:40.820 --> 00:50:43.320
some traffic might be being metered back in
1289
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:46.120
at airports, but nothing officially confirmed. And the
1290
00:50:46.120 --> 00:50:48.180
no official end on the stop yet. Officially,
1291
00:50:48.180 --> 00:50:49.840
the stop is still in full four. So
1292
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.380
no other changes to update you guys with,
1293
00:50:52.380 --> 00:50:53.580
but we'll keep watching that one as well.
1294
00:50:53.580 --> 00:50:57.920
Ben? Yeah. Joe, I wanted to toss to
1295
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:01.540
you just in... Some of the new numbers
1296
00:51:01.540 --> 00:51:05.220
here, October PPI inflation rose to 6 .5%.
1297
00:51:05.220 --> 00:51:08.600
Apparently highest level since November of 2022, although
1298
00:51:08.600 --> 00:51:12.160
below expectations, I think they were expecting 6
1299
00:51:12.160 --> 00:51:17.880
.6. Core PPI, 5%. And then we've got,
1300
00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:21.140
what else, PPI, year over year, 6 .5
1301
00:51:21.140 --> 00:51:23.260
versus 6 .6 .6. We just said, month
1302
00:51:23.260 --> 00:51:27.310
over month, 0 .3 versus 0 .4 .4.
1303
00:51:27.310 --> 00:51:29.810
I just want to get your read on,
1304
00:51:29.810 --> 00:51:33.350
I mean, 6 .6 or 6 .5%, that's
1305
00:51:33.350 --> 00:51:37.530
still not a good looking number. So what
1306
00:51:37.530 --> 00:51:40.830
is going on? Where are we headed directionally,
1307
00:51:40.830 --> 00:51:42.910
do you think? Yeah, so I think my
1308
00:51:42.910 --> 00:51:44.790
camera tilted a little bit when I raised
1309
00:51:44.790 --> 00:51:47.210
my desk to standing. Sorry about that. It
1310
00:51:47.210 --> 00:51:49.350
might just be me, but it's really odd.
1311
00:51:49.350 --> 00:51:50.090
I've got to figure out how to do
1312
00:51:50.090 --> 00:51:53.290
this whole thing. Yeah, so as far as
1313
00:51:53.290 --> 00:51:54.750
PPI is concerned, this is sort of a
1314
00:51:54.750 --> 00:51:56.010
trend we're seeing a little bit across the
1315
00:51:56.010 --> 00:51:58.590
board. you can see it reflected in yields.
1316
00:51:58.590 --> 00:52:01.050
I'll actually share my screen. I just realized
1317
00:52:01.050 --> 00:52:03.350
in full screen. I don't have the ability
1318
00:52:03.350 --> 00:52:07.790
to share. Okay, here we go. So, PPI,
1319
00:52:07.790 --> 00:52:10.990
it disinflated a little bit in that the
1320
00:52:10.990 --> 00:52:13.270
prior month was 1 .4%. This month, it
1321
00:52:13.270 --> 00:52:15.590
came in at 0 .3%. Expectations were 0
1322
00:52:15.590 --> 00:52:18.830
.4. Same exact situation on the yearly cadence.
1323
00:52:18.830 --> 00:52:20.570
It accelerated on the yearly cadence, but that
1324
00:52:20.570 --> 00:52:23.790
was expected, less than anticipated. So inflation's accelerating
1325
00:52:23.790 --> 00:52:25.390
once again, not to the degree that people
1326
00:52:25.390 --> 00:52:29.230
were
expecting. And as such, you can see
1327
00:52:29.230 --> 00:52:32.710
here, big, massive route in the bond market
1328
00:52:32.710 --> 00:52:35.270
once again. So obviously, in October, we saw
1329
00:52:35.270 --> 00:52:37.930
massive, you know, multi -year highs on the
1330
00:52:37.930 --> 00:52:41.290
10 -year. Those reflect inflation and growth expectations.
1331
00:52:41.290 --> 00:52:44.270
And those reverse quite a bit up until
1332
00:52:44.270 --> 00:52:46.430
just last week. So just last week to
1333
00:52:46.430 --> 00:52:49.870
the day, we found our local bottom. And
1334
00:52:49.870 --> 00:52:51.850
now we're trending higher on the 10 -year,
1335
00:52:51.850 --> 00:52:53.550
on the two -year as well. So people
1336
00:52:53.550 --> 00:52:55.410
are expecting the Fed to be hiking into
1337
00:52:55.410 --> 00:52:57.010
this. it's about to make new highs for
1338
00:52:57.010 --> 00:52:59.770
the cycle. So yeah, seemingly a growth acceleration
1339
00:52:59.770 --> 00:53:02.570
here. not exactly ideal. Non -farm payrolls earlier
1340
00:53:02.570 --> 00:53:04.250
this week or late last week came in
1341
00:53:04.250 --> 00:53:07.150
and added 160 ,000 jobs, much higher than
1342
00:53:07.150 --> 00:53:09.390
expected. So yeah, seemingly a bit of a
1343
00:53:09.390 --> 00:53:11.830
growth acceleration. Not exactly the story you want
1344
00:53:11.830 --> 00:53:15.650
to hear, particularly considering Fed rate hike odds.
1345
00:53:15.650 --> 00:53:18.430
So Fed rate high gods just three or
1346
00:53:18.430 --> 00:53:20.290
four days ago prior to the first hot
1347
00:53:20.290 --> 00:53:22.850
inflation print we received this week were at
1348
00:53:22.850 --> 00:53:25.250
the likelihood of one rate hike in December
1349
00:53:25.250 --> 00:53:28.630
being basically totally locked in and then nothing
1350
00:53:28.630 --> 00:53:30.450
in January or March. They were going to
1351
00:53:30.450 --> 00:53:32.110
maintain the rate in January or March. It
1352
00:53:32.110 --> 00:53:35.930
was about 75 % to 25 % odds.
1353
00:53:35.930 --> 00:53:38.950
Now the money is basically saying we're probably
1354
00:53:38.950 --> 00:53:41.170
going to get three more rate hikes this
1355
00:53:41.170 --> 00:53:45.430
cycle at the very least. So obviously not
1356
00:53:45.430 --> 00:53:48.490
exactly ideal from a cost of capital perspective.
1357
00:53:48.490 --> 00:53:50.150
I tend to think that this will reverse
1358
00:53:50.150 --> 00:53:54.410
as inflation subsides because generally speaking, all that
1359
00:53:54.410 --> 00:53:56.710
the Fed really cares about is inflation. Full
1360
00:53:56.710 --> 00:53:59.390
employment right now is fine. The employment backdrop
1361
00:53:59.390 --> 00:54:02.170
is fine. I tend to think that producer
1362
00:54:02.170 --> 00:54:06.150
prices will begin cooling, along with consumer prices,
1363
00:54:06.150 --> 00:54:07.750
PCE, all of it as we had in
1364
00:54:07.750 --> 00:54:12.030
the next year
and energy declines. Because we'll
1365
00:54:12.030 --> 00:54:13.930
see here, wherever I put the WTI crude
1366
00:54:13.930 --> 00:54:17.190
oil chart, you can see here, crude futures
1367
00:54:17.190 --> 00:54:19.890
are down back to 87 buckeroonies, which is
1368
00:54:19.890 --> 00:54:23.230
quite insane. Basically, we're looking at, I like,
1369
00:54:23.230 --> 00:54:26.770
actually go out for one year. We're measuring
1370
00:54:26.770 --> 00:54:30.170
right now, inflation is being measured from all
1371
00:54:30.170 --> 00:54:31.950
the way back here. So we're measuring from
1372
00:54:31.950 --> 00:54:33.710
here to here. That's basically why it's so
1373
00:54:33.710 --> 00:54:36.690
elevated. Energy is basically the whole story as
1374
00:54:36.690 --> 00:54:39.550
far as why inflation, including PPI, remains elevated.
1375
00:54:39.550 --> 00:54:41.790
But beginning next March, we're going to be
1376
00:54:41.790 --> 00:54:43.990
measuring inflation, even if it stays right here,
1377
00:54:43.990 --> 00:54:45.710
we're going to be measuring inflation from here
1378
00:54:45.710 --> 00:54:49.450
to here, from the energy perspective, at least,
1379
00:54:49.450 --> 00:54:50.530
which will be huge, which will mean that
1380
00:54:50.530 --> 00:54:52.770
all of the monthly numbers beginning going down,
1381
00:54:52.770 --> 00:54:54.650
all of the year. numbers beginning going down,
1382
00:54:54.650 --> 00:54:55.850
these things that drive the Fed to make
1383
00:54:55.850 --> 00:54:58.290
the decisions that they do. And then eventually,
1384
00:54:58.290 --> 00:55:00.150
as a result of that, you see the
1385
00:55:00.150 --> 00:55:02.050
dollar basket come down to earth a little
1386
00:55:02.050 --> 00:55:04.310
bit. This is because of interest rate differentials.
1387
00:55:04.310 --> 00:55:06.610
And so to hike into this would be
1388
00:55:06.610 --> 00:55:08.150
really stupid. It would make the dollar even
1389
00:55:08.150 --> 00:55:11.710
stronger. And you're eventually going to see yields
1390
00:55:11.710 --> 00:55:13.590
reverse because of this. So I'm not betting
1391
00:55:13.590 --> 00:55:15.290
on three hikes. I'm fading this. I'm betting
1392
00:55:15.290 --> 00:55:17.170
on one hike and a hold, and then
1393
00:55:17.170 --> 00:55:18.730
maybe another hike in March. Then that's the
1394
00:55:18.730 --> 00:55:21.350
last one. But as of right now, nothing
1395
00:55:21.350 --> 00:55:23.230
too scary or serious going on in MacaRae.
1396
00:55:23.230 --> 00:55:26.730
Just a couple more hot inflation prints, sort
1397
00:55:26.730 --> 00:55:28.010
of in line with what we've been seeing
1398
00:55:28.010 --> 00:55:30.570
for most of this year. Hopefully, that was
1399
00:55:30.570 --> 00:55:32.150
okay. I just realized I was moving around
1400
00:55:32.150 --> 00:55:34.510
a ton when I was talking. Oh, no,
1401
00:55:34.510 --> 00:55:37.590
it's okay. I forgive you for that one.
1402
00:55:37.590 --> 00:55:38.970
So essentially, we're going to lose the base
1403
00:55:38.970 --> 00:55:41.090
effects coming up here, Joe, and then hopefully,
1404
00:55:41.090 --> 00:55:42.590
Markets will respond accordingly with the new data
1405
00:55:42.590 --> 00:55:44.590
print. Isn't it so weird that, like, they
1406
00:55:44.590 --> 00:55:45.790
all know that this is coming, yet they're
1407
00:55:45.790 --> 00:55:48.150
still going to react to the changes. It's
1408
00:55:48.150 --> 00:55:51.190
like, we see this coming 12 months away,
1409
00:55:51.190 --> 00:55:53.230
but they'll still act like it's breaking news.
1410
00:55:53.230 --> 00:55:55.250
Joe, your thoughts? Yeah, it's almost like, you
1411
00:55:55.250 --> 00:55:57.570
know, elected Fed officials are basically, they have
1412
00:55:57.570 --> 00:55:58.890
the collective IQ of like a barrel of
1413
00:55:58.890 --> 00:56:00.650
monkeys, you know, the barrel of monkeys, plastic
1414
00:56:00.650 --> 00:56:02.350
toys? Like, you string some of those together
1415
00:56:02.350 --> 00:56:04.850
and, like, jangle them around. I guarantee they'd
1416
00:56:04.850 --> 00:56:07.170
be able to make better policy decisions than
1417
00:56:07.170 --> 00:56:09.490
the Fed. I mean, look, this is sort
1418
00:56:09.490 --> 00:56:12.790
of, to be expected, right? The Fed makes
1419
00:56:12.790 --> 00:56:15.510
decisions based off of lagging data way too
1420
00:56:15.510 --> 00:56:17.650
late after they should have already made a
1421
00:56:17.650 --> 00:56:20.450
different decision, and this is no different. The
1422
00:56:20.450 --> 00:56:22.190
good news is, this doesn't really matter for
1423
00:56:22.190 --> 00:56:23.930
Bitcoin, all things, considered even if they do
1424
00:56:23.930 --> 00:56:25.330
wind up hiking some more. Here is a
1425
00:56:25.330 --> 00:56:27.970
chart of Bitcoin and the Fed funds rate.
1426
00:56:27.970 --> 00:56:30.030
We go over the last five years so
1427
00:56:30.030 --> 00:56:32.250
we could see the last cycle as well.
1428
00:56:32.250 --> 00:56:34.730
When the Fed was on hold, actually, and
1429
00:56:34.730 --> 00:56:36.810
this is another strange coincidence in addition to
1430
00:56:36.810 --> 00:56:39.610
the coincidence that happened earlier with this officially,
1431
00:56:39.610 --> 00:56:40.710
if we make a new low, this officially
1432
00:56:40.710 --> 00:56:42.610
being the longest Bitcoin bear market by one
1433
00:56:42.610 --> 00:56:45.710
day as we record this. You can see
1434
00:56:45.710 --> 00:56:47.290
here, this was the Bitcoin low of the
1435
00:56:47.290 --> 00:56:50.610
cycle. The Fed hiked, one, two, three, four
1436
00:56:50.610 --> 00:56:52.810
more times after this. You see this correctional,
1437
00:56:52.810 --> 00:56:54.090
right here, sort of this range that we're
1438
00:56:54.090 --> 00:56:56.170
in right now. It's very similar. The Fed
1439
00:56:56.170 --> 00:56:58.310
hiked, one, two, three more times after that,
1440
00:56:58.310 --> 00:57:00.870
and then they were on hold. Right now,
1441
00:57:00.870 --> 00:57:01.950
if we just strip all of that away,
1442
00:57:01.950 --> 00:57:03.470
if we ignore all of that, okay, let's
1443
00:57:03.470 --> 00:57:05.270
say all three hikes happen, right? The Fed
1444
00:57:05.270 --> 00:57:07.610
winds up hiking three more times, which is
1445
00:57:07.610 --> 00:57:08.870
the exact same amount of hikes that are
1446
00:57:08.870 --> 00:57:10.790
priced in today. Look at what Bitcoin did
1447
00:57:10.790 --> 00:57:12.390
over that period. Once the Fed was on
1448
00:57:12.390 --> 00:57:14.150
hold, there were no more rate hikes, Bitcoin
1449
00:57:14.150 --> 00:57:15.790
took off like a rocket chip. And that's
1450
00:57:15.790 --> 00:57:19.010
because risk assets, Bitcoin particularly, because it's so
1451
00:57:19.010 --> 00:57:20.790
sensitive, it doesn't really care about the path
1452
00:57:20.790 --> 00:57:22.570
race as much as the level of the
1453
00:57:22.570 --> 00:57:24.030
level of race as much it does the
1454
00:57:24.030 --> 00:57:25.730
path of rates. And this is because the
1455
00:57:25.730 --> 00:57:28.470
economy always adjusts. The economy adjusted to a
1456
00:57:28.470 --> 00:57:30.730
5 .5 % cost of capital up here,
1457
00:57:30.730 --> 00:57:31.870
just like it adjusted to a 0 %
1458
00:57:31.870 --> 00:57:33.850
cost of capital down here, right? And so
1459
00:57:33.850 --> 00:57:36.030
in the same way, markets adjust the same
1460
00:57:36.030 --> 00:57:38.310
way. What Bitcoin cares about is that the
1461
00:57:38.310 --> 00:57:41.130
Fed is no longer hiking. And so until
1462
00:57:41.130 --> 00:57:42.790
that happens, and I believe that that will
1463
00:57:42.790 --> 00:57:45.030
happen beginning around March, Bitcoin will sort of
1464
00:57:45.030 --> 00:57:47.450
be in this awkward in between chopping around
1465
00:57:47.450 --> 00:57:50.870
phase, right? It's very funny. this reminds me
1466
00:57:50.870 --> 00:57:52.870
a lot of the summer of 2024, although
1467
00:57:52.870 --> 00:57:55.170
they're much more violent swings. In the summer
1468
00:57:55.170 --> 00:57:57.590
of 2024, every time we were approaching the
1469
00:57:57.590 --> 00:57:59.270
upper end of this range right here, people
1470
00:57:59.270 --> 00:58:00.750
were going, we're so back. And then when
1471
00:58:00.750 --> 00:58:02.550
we fall down, it's it so over. But
1472
00:58:02.550 --> 00:58:05.130
the reality is, you know, we're going to
1473
00:58:05.130 --> 00:58:06.650
be sort of in this will -they -want
1474
00:58:06.650 --> 00:58:09.150
-they period until the Fed is on hold.
1475
00:58:09.150 --> 00:58:10.190
And then once the Fed is on hold,
1476
00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:11.450
you're going to see something very similar to
1477
00:58:11.450 --> 00:58:13.270
what occurred here. And then eventually you get
1478
00:58:13.270 --> 00:58:15.290
rate cuts, right? Because the other components of
1479
00:58:15.290 --> 00:58:17.370
the inflation basket with rates as high as
1480
00:58:17.370 --> 00:58:19.850
they are are already decelerated. This is an
1481
00:58:19.850 --> 00:58:23.370
energy story. Once energy decelerates, the Fed stops
1482
00:58:23.370 --> 00:58:25.650
hiking. You see Bitcoin take off like a
1483
00:58:25.650 --> 00:58:28.370
rocket chip, even with rates at where are
1484
00:58:28.370 --> 00:58:31.350
they going to land? 4 .5%, 4 .75%.
1485
00:58:31.350 --> 00:58:33.790
It's nothing Bitcoin hasn't been able to kick
1486
00:58:33.790 --> 00:58:36.790
off a bull market with before. Yeah. But
1487
00:58:36.790 --> 00:58:38.030
to answer your question, Nathan, the Fed is
1488
00:58:38.030 --> 00:58:40.990
really dumb. Good, good. Yep, that makes sense.
1489
00:58:40.990 --> 00:58:43.810
I like that. My identity accepts that. Brandon?
1490
00:58:43.810 --> 00:58:47.290
Yeah. It's interesting. Again, like I love all
1491
00:58:47.290 --> 00:58:49.330
these charts that Joe has great, great, great,
1492
00:58:49.330 --> 00:58:51.190
site you built, by the way. Love that.
1493
00:58:51.190 --> 00:58:54.690
Thank you. Brent, you know, again, we talked
1494
00:58:54.690 --> 00:58:55.930
about the city of London here a lot
1495
00:58:55.930 --> 00:58:58.530
and the pricing, LIBOR and so forth, Lloyd's
1496
00:58:58.530 --> 00:59:00.390
of London, all this stuff. And Brent fell
1497
00:59:00.390 --> 00:59:02.310
from what was 118, I believe, in October
1498
00:59:02.310 --> 00:59:06.770
30th, to about $91. You mentioned WTI, but
1499
00:59:06.770 --> 00:59:09.250
Brent's priced in London there. And it's just
1500
00:59:09.250 --> 00:59:10.930
incredible how right after the election, all of
1501
00:59:10.930 --> 00:59:14.090
a sudden, it just falls off the cliff.
1502
00:59:14.090 --> 00:59:15.650
And you go back to the hedge funds
1503
00:59:15.650 --> 00:59:18.490
and, and Bessent attacking the, you know, the
1504
00:59:18.490 --> 00:59:20.350
Cayman Islands, hedge funds there, a lot of
1505
00:59:20.350 --> 00:59:22.430
the, a lot of the stuff, obviously we've
1506
00:59:22.430 --> 00:59:23.890
been talking about this all year, but, you
1507
00:59:23.890 --> 00:59:25.410
know, those guys weren't happy. And we've talked
1508
00:59:25.410 --> 00:59:27.230
about this, too, the enemy gets a say
1509
00:59:27.230 --> 00:59:28.870
as well. And that's what makes us very
1510
00:59:28.870 --> 00:59:30.710
hard. It's not just like, oh, you come
1511
00:59:30.710 --> 00:59:32.890
in and get to do whatever you want
1512
00:59:32.890 --> 00:59:34.970
and just drop the hammer on everybody. You
1513
00:59:34.970 --> 00:59:36.170
know, the other side gets to play to,
1514
00:59:36.170 --> 00:59:37.390
as they say in sports, right? The other
1515
00:59:37.390 --> 00:59:39.870
team gets paid as well. And so they're
1516
00:59:39.870 --> 00:59:42.090
good. They know what's up. They were able
1517
00:59:42.090 --> 00:59:44.470
to, you know, strike back during the elections.
1518
00:59:44.470 --> 00:59:45.770
And, you know, Van Jones, even the other
1519
00:59:45.770 --> 00:59:47.650
days, you know, admitted as much, right? Which
1520
00:59:47.650 --> 00:59:49.330
we've talked about on this show, we alerted
1521
00:59:49.330 --> 00:59:51.410
everyone to like, hey, this is, you get
1522
00:59:51.410 --> 00:59:53.150
literally a bots everywhere. And Van Jones came
1523
00:59:53.150 --> 00:59:54.450
out, I forget what channel was on and
1524
00:59:54.450 --> 00:59:55.650
said, yeah, we literally just had a couple
1525
00:59:55.650 --> 00:59:57.710
thousand influencers. And then we just created millions
1526
00:59:57.710 --> 01:00:00.470
of bots and just parroted life's unaffordable, life's
1527
01:00:00.470 --> 01:00:02.470
unaffordable, life's unaffordable, life's unaffordable. And this is
1528
01:00:02.470 --> 01:00:05.510
how dumb they think the average person is.
1529
01:00:05.510 --> 01:00:07.730
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong. But here
1530
01:00:07.730 --> 01:00:09.390
we are. This goes back to what's his
1531
01:00:09.390 --> 01:00:11.990
name, the Jonathan Gruber, who's, I believe, still
1532
01:00:11.990 --> 01:00:16.150
a professor at MIT, I believe, actually, to
1533
01:00:16.150 --> 01:00:19.010
this day in 2012 or 2011 saying, yeah,
1534
01:00:19.010 --> 01:00:20.450
the American voter is just dumb. Like, we
1535
01:00:20.450 --> 01:00:22.430
needed to force Obamacare down your throat because
1536
01:00:22.430 --> 01:00:24.210
we wanted to control. We wanted to kill
1537
01:00:24.210 --> 01:00:27.470
the insurance healthcare industry. We wanted to have
1538
01:00:27.470 --> 01:00:30.570
national health care and death panels and everything.
1539
01:00:30.570 --> 01:00:31.830
And you were just too stupid to know
1540
01:00:31.830 --> 01:00:33.170
what was good for you. This is the
1541
01:00:33.170 --> 01:00:35.030
world we're living in right now. And to
1542
01:00:35.030 --> 01:00:37.550
me, that's why this exposure of the system
1543
01:00:37.550 --> 01:00:39.910
and what's been happening and in ripping out
1544
01:00:39.910 --> 01:00:42.490
all these energy choke points are so important.
1545
01:00:42.490 --> 01:00:45.670
And in the American system versus the crony
1546
01:00:45.670 --> 01:00:48.350
capitalist built on fiat fiat currencies and communism,
1547
01:00:48.350 --> 01:00:50.130
socialism, we can see we're just stuck in
1548
01:00:50.130 --> 01:00:52.390
this paradigm back and forth. And then we
1549
01:00:52.390 --> 01:00:53.950
all have to come in here and we
1550
01:00:53.950 --> 01:00:55.790
have smart guys like Joe, you have to
1551
01:00:55.790 --> 01:00:57.110
show us all these things. The average person
1552
01:00:57.110 --> 01:00:58.810
has to get in and start looking at
1553
01:00:58.810 --> 01:01:00.930
what Joe is doing. And when in reality,
1554
01:01:00.930 --> 01:01:02.090
the average person shouldn't have to be doing
1555
01:01:02.090 --> 01:01:02.950
those things, right? You should just be able
1556
01:01:02.950 --> 01:01:04.110
to save it and their money and store
1557
01:01:04.110 --> 01:01:05.930
time and energy and our value in that.
1558
01:01:05.930 --> 01:01:08.090
But we've got caught in this fake prison
1559
01:01:08.090 --> 01:01:10.610
of two ideas where we can only swing
1560
01:01:10.610 --> 01:01:12.250
back and forth. You see the young people,
1561
01:01:12.250 --> 01:01:14.030
they, you know, hey, we're capitalists and now
1562
01:01:14.030 --> 01:01:15.370
it's crony capitalism or whatever you want to
1563
01:01:15.370 --> 01:01:16.730
call it. And then now we're swinging back
1564
01:01:16.730 --> 01:01:18.810
to communism, socialism because people, are just stuck
1565
01:01:18.810 --> 01:01:21.070
in this pendulum and it's this unilateral emotion
1566
01:01:21.070 --> 01:01:22.790
where okay, well, that didn't work. We're going
1567
01:01:22.790 --> 01:01:24.350
back to this. And it's another generation or
1568
01:01:24.350 --> 01:01:25.350
two later and we don't, we don't know
1569
01:01:25.350 --> 01:01:26.490
any difference. So we're going to swing right
1570
01:01:26.490 --> 01:01:29.850
back to this other world. So again, it's
1571
01:01:29.850 --> 01:01:31.950
to me, like you just said, Joe, I
1572
01:01:31.950 --> 01:01:33.770
believe what you believe, I think they're going
1573
01:01:33.770 --> 01:01:35.370
to to land the plane. I don't know
1574
01:01:35.370 --> 01:01:36.270
the best way to say it, but it's
1575
01:01:36.270 --> 01:01:37.650
going to be a bit of a change
1576
01:01:37.650 --> 01:01:39.130
here, which we've been talking about as well,
1577
01:01:39.130 --> 01:01:41.350
this four year strategy of greasing the skids
1578
01:01:41.350 --> 01:01:44.150
for the midterms or for the primaries. And
1579
01:01:44.150 --> 01:01:46.970
you know that the midterms are, you know,
1580
01:01:46.970 --> 01:01:48.350
the odds are against you. And that stuff.
1581
01:01:48.350 --> 01:01:50.170
happens, but you, you kind of have to
1582
01:01:50.170 --> 01:01:53.270
sacrifice the midterms anyway to rip out these,
1583
01:01:53.270 --> 01:01:54.810
these choke points and the things that have
1584
01:01:54.810 --> 01:01:56.610
bent us over the barrel for decades, really
1585
01:01:56.610 --> 01:01:59.530
for centuries, quite honestly. And everyone says, everyone
1586
01:01:59.530 --> 01:02:01.370
claims, this is what's tough. Everyone claims they
1587
01:02:01.370 --> 01:02:03.310
want different politicians. They want something to be
1588
01:02:03.310 --> 01:02:05.390
done. I want, you know, a different person.
1589
01:02:05.390 --> 01:02:07.570
Congress always has a single digital approval rating.
1590
01:02:07.570 --> 01:02:08.750
And then when someone comes in or people
1591
01:02:08.750 --> 01:02:10.930
come in, a Scott Bessent or Rubio or
1592
01:02:10.930 --> 01:02:13.410
whatever, and they talk a completely different game,
1593
01:02:13.410 --> 01:02:16.190
you know, have the Greek
pantheon. You do
1594
01:02:16.190 --> 01:02:18.270
the optimistic talk and stuff like that. Unfortunately,
1595
01:02:18.270 --> 01:02:19.910
someone, someone, people are dead inside and sedated
1596
01:02:19.910 --> 01:02:21.950
that I don't know, maybe, maybe we are
1597
01:02:21.950 --> 01:02:23.450
too far gone at this point. And so
1598
01:02:23.450 --> 01:02:25.130
people are so nihilistic and they just want
1599
01:02:25.130 --> 01:02:26.870
to light themselves on fire and self -immolate,
1600
01:02:26.870 --> 01:02:27.930
then maybe it is too far gone. Maybe
1601
01:02:27.930 --> 01:02:29.130
we missed our chance. Maybe we missed the
1602
01:02:29.130 --> 01:02:31.190
book. I don't believe that. I think that
1603
01:02:31.190 --> 01:02:32.670
our greatest age is right here in front
1604
01:02:32.670 --> 01:02:33.970
of us. I could be more optimistic about
1605
01:02:33.970 --> 01:02:35.330
the future. But all you have to do
1606
01:02:35.330 --> 01:02:37.290
is, again, we've talked earlier, but you see
1607
01:02:37.290 --> 01:02:39.050
these little things, these little signs right after
1608
01:02:39.050 --> 01:02:40.910
the election ends, all of a sudden, these
1609
01:02:40.910 --> 01:02:43.210
things revert. You know, it's just, it's complete
1610
01:02:43.210 --> 01:02:44.790
nonsense. You try to wake people up. You
1611
01:02:44.790 --> 01:02:46.650
try to warn people about this stuff. And
1612
01:02:46.650 --> 01:02:48.570
the bigger fight is that exposure of that
1613
01:02:48.570 --> 01:02:51.370
system and that third option, the American system,
1614
01:02:51.370 --> 01:02:54.250
which every country can employ outside of that
1615
01:02:54.250 --> 01:02:56.530
fake prison of two ideas. So to me,
1616
01:02:56.530 --> 01:02:57.690
again, we talked about it here a lot.
1617
01:02:57.690 --> 01:02:59.050
We'll continue talking about it because that is
1618
01:02:59.050 --> 01:03:00.390
the fight the next two years. Who can
1619
01:03:00.390 --> 01:03:02.190
sell that story the most? The brand of
1620
01:03:02.190 --> 01:03:05.250
the modern progressive left, whether it's in Canada
1621
01:03:05.250 --> 01:03:07.170
or U .S. is free. And that's a
1622
01:03:07.170 --> 01:03:09.650
very strong brand. It's an incredible brand. Free,
1623
01:03:09.650 --> 01:03:11.150
free, free, free. Someone else pays for it.
1624
01:03:11.150 --> 01:03:12.510
It's free, free, free for you. And they
1625
01:03:12.510 --> 01:03:13.930
never, you know, tell you what the bill
1626
01:03:13.930 --> 01:03:16.370
of goods really costs. And so to me,
1627
01:03:16.370 --> 01:03:18.030
it's who can sell this vision of the
1628
01:03:18.030 --> 01:03:19.390
future better? Is it going to be this
1629
01:03:19.390 --> 01:03:21.410
optimistic, shining city in the hill, get your
1630
01:03:21.410 --> 01:03:23.630
freedom, your sovereignty, your wealth back? Or is
1631
01:03:23.630 --> 01:03:26.970
it just dumerism, despair, CBDCs, and slavery? We're
1632
01:03:26.970 --> 01:03:28.450
just going to go into this AI, you
1633
01:03:28.450 --> 01:03:31.550
know, digital Panopticon prison that we're, that the,
1634
01:03:31.550 --> 01:03:33.010
you know, with the modern left, the Malthusian
1635
01:03:33.010 --> 01:03:35.590
death cult is building over top of us.
1636
01:03:35.590 --> 01:03:37.530
And we really have a choice as, as
1637
01:03:37.530 --> 01:03:39.310
humans going forward. I just don't see it
1638
01:03:39.310 --> 01:03:40.450
any other way over the next couple of
1639
01:03:40.450 --> 01:03:42.390
years. And it's going to be incredible to
1640
01:03:42.390 --> 01:03:43.850
see a play out. but a worthy and
1641
01:03:43.850 --> 01:03:46.790
noble cause to fight for it for sure.
1642
01:03:46.790 --> 01:03:49.710
Yeah, you know, Joe, I want to maybe
1643
01:03:49.710 --> 01:03:50.710
bring up here and you can tell me
1644
01:03:50.710 --> 01:03:52.290
if you have a rebuttal and maybe not
1645
01:03:52.290 --> 01:03:53.930
rebuttal, but a comment. The one thing I
1646
01:03:53.930 --> 01:03:56.490
think is not priced in is this, the
1647
01:03:56.490 --> 01:03:59.170
Fed and the thought of their own credibility
1648
01:03:59.170 --> 01:04:01.330
that they suddenly are like very concerned with.
1649
01:04:01.330 --> 01:04:04.050
So like Waller, I guess today or yesterday
1650
01:04:04.050 --> 01:04:06.390
was saying that, you know, they have 25
1651
01:04:06.390 --> 01:04:08.210
points priced in. If they don't hike more
1652
01:04:08.210 --> 01:04:10.610
than 25 points, they lose credibility in the
1653
01:04:10.610 --> 01:04:15.110
market. market loves, obviously, you know, predictability from
1654
01:04:15.110 --> 01:04:17.450
the Federal Reserve. I'd be curious. Like, do
1655
01:04:17.450 --> 01:04:18.430
you think this is a thing that they
1656
01:04:18.430 --> 01:04:21.210
just say sort of in between meetings to
1657
01:04:21.210 --> 01:04:23.070
keep people at bay, to get people a
1658
01:04:23.070 --> 01:04:24.490
soundbite, or you think they actually take it
1659
01:04:24.490 --> 01:04:26.830
to heart and consider this when they decide
1660
01:04:26.830 --> 01:04:29.450
on rate decisions? I think they take it
1661
01:04:29.450 --> 01:04:30.910
to heart to some degree, but I think
1662
01:04:30.910 --> 01:04:33.030
Fed credibility, and you're right, the Fed doesn't
1663
01:04:33.030 --> 01:04:34.670
like to spoo people between meetings. They like
1664
01:04:34.670 --> 01:04:36.930
to do what the market is expecting. But
1665
01:04:36.930 --> 01:04:39.130
largely, the Fed is a mostly irrelevant institution.
1666
01:04:39.130 --> 01:04:40.950
Like, what she was doing there and what
1667
01:04:40.950 --> 01:04:41.510
she was doing there and what. most Fed
1668
01:04:41.510 --> 01:04:44.830
governors do in between meetings. It's exclusively job
1669
01:04:44.830 --> 01:04:46.210
voting. They're just trying to talk the market
1670
01:04:46.210 --> 01:04:48.350
in one direction or the
other. And so
1671
01:04:48.350 --> 01:04:50.430
in reality, most of the work that the
1672
01:04:50.430 --> 01:04:53.270
Fed does isn't actually in setting interest rates.
1673
01:04:53.270 --> 01:04:55.110
It's in doing this job boning and telling
1674
01:04:55.110 --> 01:04:56.670
the bond market sort of where to move.
1675
01:04:56.670 --> 01:04:59.350
And then when the bond market disagrees, the
1676
01:04:59.350 --> 01:05:01.090
bond vigilantes come in and it reprices a
1677
01:05:01.090 --> 01:05:02.450
different way, and then the Fed decides what
1678
01:05:02.450 --> 01:05:04.190
to do. And so like the real story
1679
01:05:04.190 --> 01:05:05.830
of the Fed that you sort of pointed
1680
01:05:05.830 --> 01:05:08.590
out is not necessarily one where they set
1681
01:05:08.590 --> 01:05:10.170
interest rates and the market listens to them.
1682
01:05:10.170 --> 01:05:13.550
it's more so everything that doesn't happen on
1683
01:05:13.550 --> 01:05:16.590
FMC meeting day and the press conference day,
1684
01:05:16.590 --> 01:05:18.730
which is Fed going out, talking a whole
1685
01:05:18.730 --> 01:05:20.770
bunch, yapping a whole bunch, economic data coming
1686
01:05:20.770 --> 01:05:22.830
in, the bond market making this decision, and
1687
01:05:22.830 --> 01:05:26.030
the Fed obeying. And so, you know, I
1688
01:05:26.030 --> 01:05:28.250
think the Fed would lose credibility if they
1689
01:05:28.250 --> 01:05:30.970
didn't hike once more, but it doesn't really
1690
01:05:30.970 --> 01:05:33.950
matter. And also, now that I think about
1691
01:05:33.950 --> 01:05:35.210
it, I really don't think the Fed would
1692
01:05:35.210 --> 01:05:39.450
lose much credibility because the two -year is
1693
01:05:39.450 --> 01:05:41.650
already giving them. only a little bit more
1694
01:05:41.650 --> 01:05:44.350
overhead to hike. Is that Jeff Gunlock's music?
1695
01:05:44.350 --> 01:05:46.130
The two -year you're talking about? Oh, my
1696
01:05:46.130 --> 01:05:48.870
God. And so it's, you know, it's honest
1697
01:05:48.870 --> 01:05:50.130
to goodness, I think at this point in
1698
01:05:50.130 --> 01:05:52.670
the cycle, we're at the point where maybe
1699
01:05:52.670 --> 01:05:54.050
you get one more, maybe you get two
1700
01:05:54.050 --> 01:05:56.330
more, but you're certainly not at the beginning
1701
01:05:56.330 --> 01:05:58.350
of a massive rate hiking cycle. And so
1702
01:05:58.350 --> 01:05:59.430
if the Fed decided to sit out the
1703
01:05:59.430 --> 01:06:01.310
December meeting, I don't think anybody would be
1704
01:06:01.310 --> 01:06:03.350
screaming. No, me neither. I think if Kevin
1705
01:06:03.350 --> 01:06:05.190
Warsh decided to say, hey, you know, we're
1706
01:06:05.190 --> 01:06:07.010
choosing not to hike because we understand most
1707
01:06:07.010 --> 01:06:09.430
of this inflation we're experiencing now is due
1708
01:06:09.430 --> 01:06:11.270
to energy related causes that are outside of
1709
01:06:11.270 -->
01:06:13.250
our control. I think that would be great
1710
01:06:13.250 --> 01:06:15.530
for Fed credibility because they would demonstrate that
1711
01:06:15.530 --> 01:06:17.850
they're actually data dependent, right? They claim to
1712
01:06:17.850 --> 01:06:19.350
be data dependent, but if you're just looking
1713
01:06:19.350 --> 01:06:21.390
at the head and not actually what's underneath
1714
01:06:21.390 --> 01:06:23.250
it, you're not really data dependent. So if
1715
01:06:23.250 --> 01:06:25.110
anything, in sort of a roundabout way, I
1716
01:06:25.110 --> 01:06:26.430
think it'd be a welcome change if they
1717
01:06:26.430 --> 01:06:28.050
decided not to hike or decided to hike
1718
01:06:28.050 --> 01:06:32.030
once more and then pause. I love it,
1719
01:06:32.030 --> 01:06:37.230
Ben. Yeah, I mean, is this clip worth
1720
01:06:37.230 --> 01:06:38.570
playing, Joe? What do you think? I don't
1721
01:06:38.570 --> 01:06:40.170
know if it's relevant anymore, but it was
1722
01:06:40.170 --> 01:06:42.970
It was something to Brandon's point, Brandon, Brandon,
1723
01:06:42.970 --> 01:06:44.650
you had mentioned, like, the median voter is
1724
01:06:44.650 --> 01:06:46.170
basically really, really dumb. And they're going to
1725
01:06:46.170 --> 01:06:48.350
go, I want free stuff or I want
1726
01:06:48.350 --> 01:06:49.890
this, that, or they're like, and it's this
1727
01:06:49.890 --> 01:06:52.190
lady the day after the election. Oh, let's
1728
01:06:52.190 --> 01:06:53.390
just get it. Let's just pull it up.
1729
01:06:53.390 --> 01:06:55.090
We got to look at. We got to
1730
01:06:55.090 --> 01:06:57.430
remember, like, who gets a vote just the
1731
01:06:57.430 --> 01:06:59.390
same as you. She's in the car. Oh,
1732
01:06:59.390 --> 01:07:01.530
no. Let's, I haven't heard this yet, so
1733
01:07:01.530 --> 01:07:04.610
this should be good. Yo, Abdul, I say,
1734
01:07:04.610 --> 01:07:06.850
yeah, it's really motherfucking doing it. The gas
1735
01:07:06.850 --> 01:07:10.170
is $3 in Michigan right now. It's $3.
1736
01:07:10.170 --> 01:07:12.690
There's some change, y 'all. I seen it.
1737
01:07:12.690 --> 01:07:15.630
I seen it. It's $3. He did it.
1738
01:07:15.630 --> 01:07:18.150
He's doing it. He's doing it. I do
1739
01:07:18.150 --> 01:07:20.530
it. I say, yeah. It's the mon dummy
1740
01:07:20.530 --> 01:07:22.570
in this bitch. I see it, y 'iap.
1741
01:07:22.570 --> 01:07:25.010
I'm keeping it. I ain't even got to
1742
01:07:25.010 --> 01:07:28.970
say nothing.! There's no hope for the leaves.
1743
01:07:28.970 --> 01:07:30.710
I can't. I can't watch this is merging
1744
01:07:30.710 --> 01:07:32.770
onto the highway. Sorry about that. I thought
1745
01:07:32.770 --> 01:07:34.770
there wasn't any vulgarity in there. No, you're
1746
01:07:34.770 --> 01:07:37.470
good. I mean, we're full of vulgarity anyways.
1747
01:07:37.470 --> 01:07:39.650
But again, how do you guys, you know,
1748
01:07:39.650 --> 01:07:42.130
as a
marriage? How do you guys feel
1749
01:07:42.130 --> 01:07:44.990
that this person can't get to go to
1750
01:07:44.990 --> 01:07:47.210
the polling place alongside you? I mean, it's
1751
01:07:47.210 --> 01:07:48.850
not like we're strangers to that up here,
1752
01:07:48.850 --> 01:07:51.450
too. We just had some interesting elections anyways.
1753
01:07:51.450 --> 01:07:53.970
It's brutal. I mean, you know, her and
1754
01:07:53.970 --> 01:07:56.870
like a million other dead people voted against
1755
01:07:56.870 --> 01:08:00.490
what I voted for. Yep. It's unfortunate, but
1756
01:08:00.490 --> 01:08:02.510
it's also, it speaks to sort of the
1757
01:08:02.510 --> 01:08:06.050
TikTok American epidemic that we're experiencing, right? Like,
1758
01:08:06.050 --> 01:08:07.590
you guys probably saw the story. I'm not
1759
01:08:07.590 --> 01:08:09.410
sure if you discussed it. Of the, it's
1760
01:08:09.410 --> 01:08:11.550
so over. Yeah. of the data center lady
1761
01:08:11.550 --> 01:08:15.090
down in Delaware who it was an abandoned
1762
01:08:15.090 --> 01:08:17.730
mall parking lot and 25 years Joe is
1763
01:08:17.730 --> 01:08:21.130
going to be 25 years abandoned and it
1764
01:08:21.130 --> 01:08:22.170
was going to be replaced with the data
1765
01:08:22.170 --> 01:08:24.430
center that would create thousands of jobs and
1766
01:08:24.430 --> 01:08:27.030
bring millions of dollars and new GDP growth
1767
01:08:27.030 --> 01:08:29.950
to that county. And this activist who is
1768
01:08:29.950 --> 01:08:33.250
influenced by a Chinese Communist Party activism group
1769
01:08:33.250 --> 01:08:35.610
without her knowledge, she had no idea this
1770
01:08:35.610 --> 01:08:36.970
was going on. She thought this was all
1771
01:08:36.970 --> 01:08:40.670
organic stuff, launched a campaign, made TikToks about
1772
01:08:40.670 --> 01:08:44.030
it to not build it. And her argument
1773
01:08:44.030 --> 01:08:45.670
against not building it was that we should
1774
01:08:45.670 --> 01:08:48.030
put something that would serve the community there,
1775
01:08:48.030 --> 01:08:50.450
like a trampoline park. This is literally what
1776
01:08:50.450 --> 01:08:53.010
she said. And so it speaks to this
1777
01:08:53.010 --> 01:08:56.230
reality of like, ultimately, this is why democracies
1778
01:08:56.230 --> 01:08:59.790
don't particularly work, because that person, particularly having
1779
01:08:59.790 --> 01:09:02.150
access to the same computer I have to
1780
01:09:02.150 --> 01:09:03.730
talk to an audience, just like we all
1781
01:09:03.730 --> 01:09:07.310
do. It ultimately becomes detrimental when it all
1782
01:09:07.310 --> 01:09:09.710
boils down to why is that there, instead
1783
01:09:09.710 --> 01:09:12.190
of, you know, a new food court. Why
1784
01:09:12.190 --> 01:09:14.190
is she of the athleticism that could go
1785
01:09:14.190 --> 01:09:16.290
on said trampoline park? No. She would be
1786
01:09:16.290 --> 01:09:18.930
using, said trampoline park. And the funny thing
1787
01:09:18.930 --> 01:09:20.770
is, people were making jokes about it. There's
1788
01:09:20.770 --> 01:09:22.550
a trampoline park down the street, eight minutes
1789
01:09:22.550 --> 01:09:24.550
away, you know? So people were making jokes
1790
01:09:24.550 --> 01:09:25.690
about like, guys, you don't know what it's
1791
01:09:25.690 --> 01:09:27.730
like to live in a trampoline park desert.
1792
01:09:27.730 --> 01:09:31.290
But the point is this. It would generate
1793
01:09:31.290 --> 01:09:34.770
the only. That's true. The point is this,
1794
01:09:34.770 --> 01:09:36.730
you know, it's like, this is, at the
1795
01:09:36.730 --> 01:09:37.810
end of the day, it's why democracy is
1796
01:09:37.810 --> 01:09:39.970
that work. And why your. best bet as
1797
01:09:39.970 --> 01:09:42.310
an individual is to become very well versed,
1798
01:09:42.310 --> 01:09:44.010
very well read, raise a family in your
1799
01:09:44.010 --> 01:09:46.590
image, and get a lot of guns because
1800
01:09:46.590 --> 01:09:48.430
ultimately this thing can get really bad. Not
1801
01:09:48.430 --> 01:09:50.270
saying that woman in particular, a highly doubt
1802
01:09:50.270 --> 01:09:52.470
she'd pose much of a threat to anybody,
1803
01:09:52.470 --> 01:09:54.070
but it speaks to this sort of mass
1804
01:09:54.070 --> 01:09:55.790
psychosis in the digital age where it's like
1805
01:09:55.790 --> 01:09:57.410
voting can only get you so far. And
1806
01:09:57.410 --> 01:09:58.330
at the end of the day, these people
1807
01:09:58.330 --> 01:09:59.810
have the same vote as you. So you
1808
01:09:59.810 --> 01:10:01.330
got to stay frosty to some degree. Don't,
1809
01:10:01.330 --> 01:10:04.670
don't worry, because former Congressman Adam Kinsinger, you
1810
01:10:04.670 --> 01:10:06.230
know, they're coming after the electoral college. You
1811
01:10:06.230 --> 01:10:08.090
know, this is, so don't worry. We're going
1812
01:10:08.090 --> 01:10:09.350
to have more mob rule. You thought you'd
1813
01:10:09.350 --> 01:10:10.490
liked to mod rule before. You're going to
1814
01:10:10.490 --> 01:10:11.710
love, you're going to love to see what's
1815
01:10:11.710 --> 01:10:13.910
coming next. And this is, this is the
1816
01:10:13.910 --> 01:10:16.430
one misgiving Trump had,! Which, you know, hey,
1817
01:10:16.430 --> 01:10:17.510
I said, okay, you're going to do it
1818
01:10:17.510 --> 01:10:19.450
the more kosher way. If Brandon was president,
1819
01:10:19.450 --> 01:10:20.670
I would have come in and deleted 95
1820
01:10:20.670 --> 01:10:22.670
% of the government day one. Executive order
1821
01:10:22.670 --> 01:10:24.630
gone. See ya. Five million people. How many
1822
01:10:24.630 --> 01:10:26.510
trampoline parks would you have built? How many?
1823
01:10:26.510 --> 01:10:28.450
You could, you could save so much money,
1824
01:10:28.450 --> 01:10:29.990
Joe, we could have had so many trampoline
1825
01:10:29.990 -->
01:10:32.690
parks everywhere. And it would have been unbelievable.
1826
01:10:32.690 --> 01:10:34.150
This is, this is, and we can maybe
1827
01:10:34.150 --> 01:10:36.730
get in this Monday. But hey, Mark Carney,
1828
01:10:36.730 --> 01:10:38.490
though, he's got four billion dollars going to
1829
01:10:38.490 --> 01:10:39.790
the arts. That's going to you guys to
1830
01:10:39.790 --> 01:10:42.170
calm me around in Canada. So hey, listen,
1831
01:10:42.170 --> 01:10:44.350
don't do not insult, do not insult Prime
1832
01:10:44.350 --> 01:10:46.250
Minister Carney. I am an artist now. And
1833
01:10:46.250 --> 01:10:47.250
so I will be. Yeah, guys, we are
1834
01:10:47.250 --> 01:10:50.930
all if you don't do dare say otherwise.
1835
01:10:50.930 --> 01:10:52.950
We've got grants coming our way. I'm certain
1836
01:10:52.950 --> 01:10:54.970
of it. Did you see your show now,
1837
01:10:54.970 --> 01:10:56.930
Ben, it's an art show. I am clearly
1838
01:10:56.930 --> 01:11:00.310
an artist. That's exactly. Clearly an artist. Guys,
1839
01:11:00.310 --> 01:11:01.230
a couple things I want to get in
1840
01:11:01.230 --> 01:11:03.470
there as we move to wrap here. One,
1841
01:11:03.470 --> 01:11:04.550
I'm now never going to forget this. I
1842
01:11:04.550 --> 01:11:06.550
like the term TikTok Americans. I think that's
1843
01:11:06.550 --> 01:11:07.950
going to be the next derogatory term. That's
1844
01:11:07.950 --> 01:11:09.950
add to my lexicon there. But I wanted
1845
01:11:09.950 --> 01:11:11.610
to give a quick couple things here with
1846
01:11:11.610 --> 01:11:13.210
regards to the FFA, just to round things
1847
01:11:13.210 --> 01:11:15.090
out as well. Let me go ahead and
1848
01:11:15.090 --> 01:11:16.010
pull this up. So I had this from
1849
01:11:16.010 --> 01:11:19.490
Watch Guru here. FBI investigating whether software update
1850
01:11:19.490 --> 01:11:22.310
caused the mass FAA out, FAA outage leading
1851
01:11:22.310 --> 01:11:24.470
to nationwide ground stop. I had this clip
1852
01:11:24.470 --> 01:11:25.150
here I want to play because as you
1853
01:11:25.150 --> 01:11:26.430
found it quite interesting, a little brief one
1854
01:11:26.430 --> 01:11:29.710
of their actual communications here. Oh, hang on.
1855
01:11:29.710 --> 01:11:31.410
Yeah. The center is close to being a,
1856
01:11:31.410 --> 01:11:34.270
approach is ATC0, and Chicago Center is close
1857
01:11:34.270 --> 01:11:36.310
to being ATC0 as well for equipment. We
1858
01:11:36.310 --> 01:11:38.970
lost all the frequencies and all the automation
1859
01:11:38.970 --> 01:11:40.970
for the. the handoff and strips and stuff,
1860
01:11:40.970 --> 01:11:43.390
but advise weather not them at Kenosha and
1861
01:11:43.390 --> 01:11:45.610
what approach you want to do. So radio
1862
01:11:45.610 --> 01:11:47.130
and everything completely taken up. We lost all
1863
01:11:47.130 --> 01:11:49.890
frequencies and automations for the handoff and strips.
1864
01:11:49.890 --> 01:11:52.010
Like, there's going to be someone who really
1865
01:11:52.010 --> 01:11:54.070
puts a, you know, spear in that and
1866
01:11:54.070 --> 01:11:55.570
is like, well, you have people who don't
1867
01:11:55.570 --> 01:11:57.570
really know how the job works, right? They're
1868
01:11:57.570 --> 01:11:59.850
using tools that have enabled them to learn
1869
01:11:59.850 --> 01:12:02.290
it a different way. I don't know. These
1870
01:12:02.290 --> 01:12:04.410
planes have been flying themselves for quite a
1871
01:12:04.410 --> 01:12:06.650
long time now, right? You still hopefully got,
1872
01:12:06.650 --> 01:12:08.430
you still hopefully got a gray -haired 50
1873
01:12:08.430 --> 01:12:09.870
-year -old man who's been seen a lot
1874
01:12:09.870 --> 01:12:11.410
of stuff in his day behind the wheel,
1875
01:12:11.410 --> 01:12:12.930
but largely he's just chilling out as they're
1876
01:12:12.930 --> 01:12:15.110
going through. A lot of combat, we go.
1877
01:12:15.110 --> 01:12:17.130
And then, of course, asking the important questions
1878
01:12:17.130 --> 01:12:19.830
here, we have, who was Jensen sleeping with
1879
01:12:19.830 --> 01:12:23.530
at the FAA? I think that's got it.
1880
01:12:23.530 --> 01:12:27.030
I'm waiting for the fourth affair to drop.
1881
01:12:27.030 --> 01:12:30.210
Amazing. Yeah. Jens, this is an absolute blast.
1882
01:12:30.210 --> 01:12:32.910
I do want to just do some shameless
1883
01:12:32.910 --> 01:12:36.490
shilling. I dropped a UBKee tutorial today. If
1884
01:12:36.490 --> 01:12:41.550
you haven't started diving into. actual physical two
1885
01:12:41.550 --> 01:12:44.670
-factor authentication. Worth taking a look. I was
1886
01:12:44.670 --> 01:12:46.670
pleasantly surprised. I'm going to be covering some
1887
01:12:46.670 --> 01:12:49.370
other open source alternatives as well, but UBQ
1888
01:12:49.370 --> 01:12:52.710
is super easy to use. So pretty happy
1889
01:12:52.710 --> 01:12:54.230
with it and a lot of people, I'm
1890
01:12:54.230 --> 01:12:55.830
happy to see the video go up. So
1891
01:12:55.830 --> 01:12:57.790
go check it. Ben, did you buy more
1892
01:12:57.790 --> 01:12:59.470
than one model of UBKee or just the
1893
01:12:59.470 --> 01:13:02.810
one? I just grabbed the one model. It's
1894
01:13:02.810 --> 01:13:05.290
the NFC and the USBC one and it
1895
01:13:05.290 --> 01:13:06.630
just has like the tap button. It's not
1896
01:13:06.630 --> 01:13:09.890
like fingerprint, but yeah, it works. works pretty
1897
01:13:09.890 --> 01:13:12.610
well. I got I ended up getting three,
1898
01:13:12.610 --> 01:13:14.190
uh, because I just, but now that I'm
1899
01:13:14.190 --> 01:13:15.890
thinking about it, like every time you create
1900
01:13:15.890 --> 01:13:16.910
a new key, you got to do it
1901
01:13:16.910 --> 01:13:18.630
for every single one. So I'm, yeah, kind
1902
01:13:18.630 --> 01:13:20.650
of waffling over how I want to handle
1903
01:13:20.650
--> 01:13:23.230
it. But, uh, feeling good about my, my
1904
01:13:23.230 --> 01:13:28.130
password manager being hardware secure. So that's, that's
1905
01:13:28.130 --> 01:13:29.730
good. Uh, the other thing I was going
1906
01:13:29.730 --> 01:13:31.130
to show, of course, was, uh, our good
1907
01:13:31.130 --> 01:13:34.150
friend Joe's channel. So go subscribe to Joe
1908
01:13:34.150 --> 01:13:38.090
and, uh, keep up with everything markets and,
1909
01:13:38.090 --> 01:13:39.330
uh, you know. Joe's putting out of, of
1910
01:13:39.330 --> 01:13:40.070
course, was, uh, you know, video a day
1911
01:13:40.070 --> 01:13:42.530
almost he has a newborn child he's got
1912
01:13:42.530 --> 01:13:44.510
to accept selfies from his wife he's replying
1913
01:13:44.510 --> 01:13:47.330
during this this podcast he's on top of
1914
01:13:47.330 --> 01:13:49.470
everything this guy you got to be subscribed
1915
01:13:49.470 --> 01:13:51.210
i'm talking to one of my clankers as
1916
01:13:51.210 --> 01:13:52.670
well as we were talking it was like
1917
01:13:52.670 --> 01:13:54.430
hey a new email just these things are
1918
01:13:54.430 --> 01:13:56.030
great guys we haven't tried to rock bot
1919
01:13:56.030 --> 01:13:57.650
yet would highly recommend but it is worth
1920
01:13:57.650 --> 01:14:01.150
noting all videos are human written that is
1921
01:14:01.150 --> 01:14:03.150
a very important note i said editing maybe
1922
01:14:03.150 --> 01:14:05.530
from a clanker which is tremendous but all
1923
01:14:05.530 --> 01:14:07.290
videos are human written which is the most
1924
01:14:07.290 --> 01:14:12.030
important part Scripting, good scripting. It takes you
1925
01:14:12.030 --> 01:14:13.130
so much time, you don't have to do
1926
01:14:13.130 --> 01:14:14.350
all the others. The bot told you say
1927
01:14:14.350 --> 01:14:16.510
that. Yeah, he's not even really there. It's
1928
01:14:16.510 --> 01:14:19.390
just all of it. That's all right. You
1929
01:14:19.390 --> 01:14:21.350
ask me, I legally have to tell you
1930
01:14:21.350 --> 01:14:25.050
I'm a robot. Yeah, exactly. Awesome. Well, everybody,
1931
01:14:25.050 --> 01:14:26.250
thank you guys so much. Everybody in the
1932
01:14:26.250 --> 01:14:29.770
chat. Always great to see it. Amazing, all
1933
01:14:29.770 --> 01:14:34.230
the Huang. All of the puns were just
1934
01:14:34.230 --> 01:14:37.930
fantastic to read the entire show. Anyways, we
1935
01:14:37.930 --> 01:14:39.750

01:15:00.910 --> 01:15:02.950
trying to control your money, and you know
1945
01:15:02.950 --> 01:15:05.110
that Big Tech is now trying to control
1946
01:15:05.110 --> 01:15:08.150
your AI. And Fighting Back can feel lonely,
1947
01:15:08.150 --> 01:15:09.910
but it won't for this week. weekend, I'm

1951
01:15:16.390 --> 01:15:18.910
show. It is capped at a thousand people,
1952
01:15:18.910 --> 01:15:21.370
