00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:24.399 What my wife saw it, she goes, Why are there American Indians in Jesus' tongue? 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:34.240 Well, you see, the Mormons Joseph Smith coming to America. 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.759 Oh, is that the joke you called for like Joseph Smith was in America? 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:47.039 Well, no, the the Mormons think the lost tribe what came to America, and that they're the Native Americans are the lost tribe of Israelites. 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:47.759 Really? 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:54.000 I didn't even know that that's yeah, they think there were these huge cities in America that have never been found. 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.879 It's really stupid. 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.120 It's um yeah, it's all right. 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:06.879 So so my my my initial thoughts on the show is that was worse than Taffy's AI 10 years ago. 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:30.879 The my initial thoughts of this show early on were like, all right, it's better than the trash that's on TV, but the

further into this show we got, the more absurd it got, the more little throws like they made Jesus seem human, way too human, like like human in his person, not just in his nature. 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:45.039 He he was there was scenes where he was like practicing the beatitudes as if it was a sermon, and he had to make sure he had the wording right. 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:55.440 It's like the word of God, all things are created through him, through the word, and he's practicing his sermon, like an event, like a non-denominational pastor practicing the sermon for the weekend. 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.440 Yeah, and like he he says to one of the apostles, like I have to get this sermon right. 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.519 Like it just it just was so annoying. 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.000 And my wife and I tried to watch last season, and I I couldn't. 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.360 I just could it was so bad, so bad. 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:23.440 And especially when you compare it to some other works of like other works where Christ is portrayed, you know, it's just you're playing games with people. 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.919 So so my first thought was getting back to that. 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:38.320 My my first thought was okay, it's better than the crap on TV, and now I'm like, this thing is giving people such a warped view of Jesus that they I they avoid ever showing him as divine, right? 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:53.519 They have literally I mean, they literally avoid the transfiguration, they downplay the beatitudes, and then they do this where they make up something that's not in the gospel at all to make make it seem like Jesus would be helpless without Native American angels there to protect them, you know. 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:58.559 Like what the I I didn't even know what those things were. 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.200 I didn't know if those are the apostles running up a wall, so yeah, those are supposed to be angels. 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:12.000 Like when when Jesus said, you know, if that he could have 12 legions of angels, you know, there to protect him if he wanted. 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.320 That's them, apparently. 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.960 The series constantly portrays him. 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:28.559 Like, like Jesus is unsure of himself, and he's like the reluctant, the reluctant savior almost. 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:37.279 Like they they kind of treat him like um uh what's his name treated uh in the Lord of the Rings. 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.639 Um Aragon. 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:40.320 Aragorn. 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.919 And yeah, just like how Peter Jackson did Aragorn. 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:44.720 Yeah. 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:53.840 And this last season, the confrontations that Jesus had with the Pharisees, I guess, especially because of all the stuff we've been doing on this show, right? 00:16:54.080 --> 00:17:07.519 Like the constant conversation about uh especially coming into John chapter 8, that whole thing that we went through where Jesus is confronting the Pharisees, and he's like, Your father is the devil. 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:29.519 That seems like understanding what's going on there and actually knowing what's happening in that context, and then to see the chosen Jesus confront the Pharisees almost like Desmond Jesus was way better, way better, way better, way better. 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.119 I should have pulled those clips. 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:35.519 We should have had because look, we've had this conversation on the show before, right? 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:43.599 Where whenever you're portraying like it is dangerous to portray Christ in film, it can be, yes. 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:49.839 It definitely is, and even my my favorite is obviously the passion, right? 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.799 But that only shows the passion, it doesn't show the life of Christ, really. 00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:05.759 I do like the 70s film Jesus of Nazareth, but even that it kind of shows Jesus as a hippie. 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.240 It does have that good confrontation between him and the Pharisees in that movie. 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.240 We played it on on here that one time. 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.680 Yeah, that was good too. 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.160 But he says weird things in that one too. 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.400 Like I'd have to I'd have to go back. 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:34.400 But there's some like interesting things that he says that sounds so Vatican II-ish in that in that mini-series. 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:43.119 You know, and I I I should go back through it and pull all of those clips because there's a bunch of clips in it where you're just like, oh man, this is the council. 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:48.240 Like this is this is the new version of Jesus that they're trying to portray in the 70s. 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.319 And uh, no, that one is great. 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.880 The Desmond, Desmond Jesus is great. 00:18:52.960 --> 00:19:00.880 So if you guys ever saw Lost, Desmond from The Hatch plays Jesus in uh the Gospel of John, and he just says that phrase over and over. 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:02.400 I'm telling you the truth. 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.039 It's one of those things, right?

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:10.400 Like, there is something very providential about God not allowing women to become priests, like uh theology aside, right? 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:17.759 Like, let's just say it was like could you imagine actually having to go and confess your sins to a woman? 00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.519 There is no scenario. 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:26.559 I wonder like what the well, do Anglicans do confession? 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.880 I'm not sure someone asked Calvin. 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.400 Women don't keep secrets very well. 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.039 They're they have a tendency to gossip, right? 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:52.640 Um I'm sure it would be almost too much temptation for them to hear the sins of the congregation and not go and blab them to somebody. 00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.640 I'm not sure they could do it. 00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:58.079 No, of course they couldn't. 00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:59.680 I'm not I don't think they could do it. 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:01.440 I don't think they can keep a secret. 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:06.160 Like, I've never known a woman to hear something you think of it. 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.920 God God made like the nature of women, and he knew that's why men had to be priests. 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.920 Yeah, I think so. 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:21.200 I think he really there is something very, very smart that Ryan picked up on there. 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:31.200 Women actually couldn't do it, and and the idea of having you have a tendency, he's also not a priest, see, perfect. 00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:36.640 I have a tendency to gossip, but if somebody tells me not to say something, I don't say it. 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.160 Bullshit. 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.519 No, if somebody says this stays between us, yeah. 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:49.359 If someone says about 30 times, Anthony, I swear you cannot literally tell a single person this ever, then maybe you won't. 00:26:49.440 --> 00:27:01.119 Yes, no, I have said things, I've said things that you heavily insinuated to the point where everyone knew exactly what you were talking about. 00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:03.599 So, yes, you're right, you didn't actually say it. 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:18.799 It's not like like we had uh I had that conversation with um Gideon, and Gideon said, Oh, don't reveal this one thing, but he was naming specific people, but he didn't, so I was not recalling the locals. 00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.839 All right, all right, all right, all right. 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.880 We have other stuff to talk about. 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:27.680 Yeah, behind the T-world doesn't count. 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.640 Let me see. 00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.640 We do have other stuff to talk about. 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.960 Um, you know what we're gonna talk about on locals tonight? 00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:37.200 Uh, this guy. 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:46.559 This guy was talking about how uh China's moving into Canada, and he did this whole thing about the China Vatican thing. 00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.079 It was it was super interesting. 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.119 We'll do that over there too. 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.519 India's moving into Canada too. 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:53.759 Um, oh, I know what we'll do. 00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.480 Put put that, I put the screenshot of the Trump. 00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:14.400 President Trump announced that the United States will end its annual$4 billion billion dollar military and financial assistance to Israel by the end of 2026, stating that he and the Israeli prime minister agreed to phase out the aid because Israel is a thriving economy that can purchase its own weapons. 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.359 So Trump's gonna end aid to Israel. 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:25.200 Which is why we've always said this is not the way you should be framing this conversation. 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:32.880 Like the the amount of money that because everybody always talks about we give we give four I guess Eric Salmons is perfectly okay with Israel now. 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:34.400 That's what I mean, right? 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:51.119 So it's not just that, it's like, oh, we're cutting off this$4 billion, but we're fighting a war on their behalf, spending but we legitimately maybe might nuke Iran within and spending$200 billion over the next year fighting a war for them. 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.839 But the the funding is a joke anyway. 00:28:53.920 --> 00:29:01.519 The amount of money we threw more money towards trans studies in Afghanistan. 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:15.279 Like when you went through the USAID stuff, how much money was being wasted in USAID, they were giving billions of dollars to LGBTQ studies in the Middle East to all these different countries. 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.960 Like the$4 billion we give to Israel is a joke, it's not even real. 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:24.240 I mean, it it the the money is never what what mattered. 00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:33.359 It's the fact that we give them access to all of our military technology, you know, the fact that we allowed them to have nuclear weapons when no one else could. 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:39.519 The fact that we kind of gave well, whether we gave them or they stole the secrets of nuclear weapons, who knows? 00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:46.400 But the fact that we didn't level Tel Aviv after they, you know, hit the USS Liberty, like that's the stuff that matters. 00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.000 Who cares about

four billion dollars? 00:29:48.319 --> 00:30:08.559 The fact that we allow people who have dual citizenship to take positions of power in our government, the fact that they have such a heavy influence over our foreign policy, the fact that our monetary system is literally controlled by them, the fact that we all hold these devices in our pockets and any one of them can explode at any minute. 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.440 I mean, we don't know. 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:16.079 They could all very well be time like time bombs waiting to go off in our pocket. 00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:18.000 Like, this is the stuff that we're worried about. 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.480 I'm not worried about the four billion dollars. 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:27.440 So now what can we say? 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:29.119 USA got cut, guys. 00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:31.599 Yeah, I hate our audience. 00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.319 Um, it's it was never about the money. 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.279 The money is is a joke. 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.200 It it's and that was always just a talking point. 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:48.000 It's the same reason I don't like that whole conversation being described as being against Zionism. 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.319 Like we're not just against Zionism. 00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:53.759 Yes, we are against Zionism, but the issue isn't Zionism. 00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:59.279 That's like you're couching the conversation incorrectly, you're framing it wrong. 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:11.599 If Zionism didn't exist, we would still have this problem of Jewish power that we'd have wouldn't be as problematic, right? 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:21.039 I mean, yeah, that there was still obviously a lot of Jewish influence before the Zionist movement, you know, maybe the Rothschild still had influence before then, things like that. 00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.400 Um, so yeah, you yeah, you yeah, you're right. 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:32.000 Which can kind of lead into the conversation of uh like what the hell's going on right now. 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:33.279 First of all, what's going on in the elections? 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:34.079 Do we have any results? 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:36.240 So we know if anybody it's way too early, right? 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:37.119 Doesn't matter. 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.400 The gays won. 00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.119 No matter what. 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:42.799 The gay Jews always win. 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:44.640 The gay Jews always win. 00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:50.319 Um the question is, did the gay Jew did the gay Jews win or did the war Jews win? 00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:56.319 Yeah, well, um what but what's going on right now? 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:58.319 Like, what do you what do you make of all of this? 00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:02.480 Do you think what do you make of the Tucker saying that Trump's gonna drop a nuke on Iran? 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:03.839 What do you make of all this stuff? 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:12.400 Because

I don't wanna I don't wanna because Tucker's a nut and you never know, like you never know if he's like he's a CIA op. 00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:23.839 Like you don't know what he's you know trying to get you to think, but I'm not going to just bust that out like it's never like that's not possible. 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:51.519 Because on one hand, I would say I would find it anyone in the US government in any position who who legitimately thinks the use of a nuclear weapon outside of like mutually assured destruction with another nuclear power is a like could ever be legitimate or could ever make sense would have to be the biggest retard in the world. 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:56.799 On the other hand, I think we have some of the biggest retards in the world in government currently. 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:17.680 So I I don't know how they could think using it wouldn't instantly mean Russia would nuke parts of Ukraine, and Russia's even come out and said just today, hey, you guys use one on Iran, we will take that as like carte blanche permission to to use one in Ukraine, yeah. 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:32.079 You know, like the the the thing that I okay, so even even when people talk about Iran, especially if you you listen to guys like Dave Smith and the libertarians are talking about this, like, oh, we don't want another forever war. 00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:35.200 We're not going into another forever war. 00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:42.480 The the way I see this is like world altering stuff. 00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.400 This is this is not about starting another 20-year project in Iran. 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:47.920 That's not what's going on right now. 00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:51.519 The nuke being dropped is to escalate it to World War III. 00:33:52.079 --> 00:34:01.839 It's to give Russia permission to drop the nukes in Ukraine, it's to drag other countries into this thing, it's to get this whole thing to go bizarre. 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:14.000 We've been we've been listening to guys like Klaus Schwab, like we've been as as Republicans over the past eight years, it's we have to stop the great reset. 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:15.920 The great reset's coming. 00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.000 The great reset is coming, and we thought Republicans were gonna stop it. 00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:21.599 No, the Republicans are in on it. 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:23.199 There is a great reset coming. 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.480 Now, what does that look like? 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.360 I don't know. 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:35.840 Even the even the um the the 90-day, you know, get the get the uh uh military bases to have 90 days self-sufficience. 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:47.599 What you saw yesterday was in Europe supermarkets, their refrigeration just started shutting off because they had them all hooked up to the internet. 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:49.360 They were all like smart refrigerators. 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.000 It's happened on military bases, U.S. 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.000 military bases the last few weeks, too. 00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:00.239 Also, so yeah, this whole thing of like 30 days preparedness or three days, make sure you have three days of supply. 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:06.239 I don't think there's going to be some mass power outage where the whole thing, everything shuts down. 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:12.320 I think what you're going to see is stuff like that, just constant messing with things. 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:17.360 So you'll you'll have the supermarkets are gonna lose lose power or you know, any of that. 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.280 You're home if you have smart appliances, those things are going to be hacked. 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.159 Stuff like that. 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:35.199 There's gonna be these like hacking operations that just disrupt things in different areas at different times, and it's just going to get really annoying and ugly, and you might have supply chains cut off and supply chain issues, things like that. 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:42.239 So I don't it's not like I think you're going to just have a total grid shutdown, but I do think we're going to see stuff like that. 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:52.159 It's just I think all this stuff is just gonna incrementally get worse and worse over the next year or so, two years, whatever. 00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.840 And I think conflict is going to escalate in the Middle East. 00:35:56.079 --> 00:36:04.079 I don't think the two necessarily have to be involved with each other. 00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:10.239 I think um with just the now everything is connected to the internet, right? 00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.679 The internet, what do they they call it, the internet of things, right? 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:18.800 I mean, light bulbs, refrigerators, just everything. 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:24.239 Um with AI out there, with AI now able to buy. 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.239 I mean, you could have and you could have uh you could have AI right now remove all the blowware off your Samsung TV. 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:36.400 Well, if it can do that, it can do anything anyone wants it to to devices in your household. 00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:39.360 Yeah, so I think that's gonna happen regardless. 00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:45.679 Um yeah, things are escalating globally. 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.039 I think all right, so Ryan said about the financial stuff, right? 00:36:49.199 --> 00:37:04.400 Uh the the way they spend money, the the the the national debt, this$40 trillion national debt, and if it stays on its current path, it'll be like it'll be like 200 trillion in a decade or something. 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:14.480 Like the amount the way they're spending money is going to be so astronomical that it it it's they are racing to destroy it on purpose, in my opinion. 00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.360 They need to replace it with something else. 00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:21.119 Um, they don't need to do that, right? 00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.920

Because that that debt was incurred at a specific time, right? 00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:28.719 So it doesn't inflate with inflation. 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:52.239 So the way they've always managed national debt the debt itself is cause inflation, which means that that debt is then actually worth you know worth less money, so basically, in a time of inflation, you're the best thing to do is actually to you if you borrow 500,000 now and then inflation goes in the same 500,000 isn't it's still 500,000. 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.440 Yeah, it's 500 grand. 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.199 But now you're but the problem is wages aren't going up. 00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:57.840 No. 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:00.719 That's the problem with the inflation factor right now. 00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:15.519 So like when when when this happened in the 70s, my father used to make$400 a week in 1960 something, and then once 19 the 70s gas crisis happened, he went from making 400 a week to like 1200 a week. 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:23.920 Like the the the unions all threw a fit and everybody got huge pay raises, and it that's how it worked. 00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:32.800 So, yeah, you were able to support a family on 400 a week back then and buy a home, and then they instituted the fiat currency. 00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:43.440 Oh, that was probably way before I'm I know I don't know this stuff that well, but either way, when the when the crisis happens in the 70s, the oil crisis in the 70s, inflation goes through the roof, but everybody's paychecks went up after. 00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.159 That hasn't happened for us since COVID. 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:52.639 You think about how much more expensive stuff is now since COVID, I I never got a huge pay raise. 00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.440 We get our typical 3% per year or something like that. 00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:57.199 Cost of living adjustment, cola. 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:06.880 Yeah, and it's like things are 40-50% higher and more expensive than they were in 2018, and my salary hasn't gone up. 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.920 It's and that's why people are barely making it right now. 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:10.719 Yep. 00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.239 It's gonna buy a book more inflation takes up. 00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:23.119 Um I still think they're going to do something with the currency, though. 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:31.199 It seems it seems like all these data centers, everything, all of that is just a means of control. 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:39.840 It's a means of them, it's a surveillance state so that they'll even be able to control our money. 00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:50.639 Like I mean, digital currencies coming, and it seems like they're gonna just do some wacky stuff with the currency through this war, through whatever the hell's coming, and then whatever the outcome is. 00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:55.119 It's you you even even this pandemic stuff, like the cyber pandemic stuff. 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.840 Oh no, the banks got hacked, your money's gone, unless you accept our digital currency. 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:04.719 I think they might be realizing they don't even need to do that. 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:14.159 Um with AI, the uh the ability for AI to track all your financial transactions, you know. 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.559 That I mean that's like a wet dream for the IRS. 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:17.119 Yeah. 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:22.719 You know, like they like they don't need to hire 80,000 more IRS agents, they got AI now. 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:42.480 They can, you know, and as far as doing things in cash, well, they have flock cameras all over seeing exactly where you're going, you know, that are tracking your sell signals, see who you're with, who you're like you know what I don't think I don't think even cash transactions are gonna be you know out of the view of the government here pretty soon. 00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:51.280 If if they did some major hack though, and the bank banking is shut down, that you no, and yeah, they could still do that. 00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:54.559 But I'm saying if you have cash, that's the only thing that works with that though. 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.119 Like if you don't have cash, you have no access to money. 00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:07.599 Right, but if if it almost it almost re- it almost like doubles down the importance of cash if there's another but if that if the banking system go down, cash is worthless too, man. 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:13.840 If not in the short term, like in the short term interim, people will not in like three with two or three days, sure. 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:20.880 But after that, like no, like it would be far better to have have that cash in gold or silver. 00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:24.079 Let's say the grid goes down, right? 00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:26.960 And the grid goes down, that's power everything. 00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.719 The supermarkets have tons of food that's going to spoil. 00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:35.199 You can't use Apple Pay, but if you have cash, you can go and buy the stuff that's going to spoil. 00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:36.639 But where are you gonna put it? 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:39.119 The stuff that's gonna spoil. 00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:40.880 Where are you going to put it? 00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:43.280 Because you don't have power either. 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:46.880 That's an interesting unless it's winter. 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:51.679 If it's winter, you could probably store it, but yeah, but you know who wins in that situation? 00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:52.880 The person with the gun. 00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:54.079 Yeah, exactly. 00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:55.440 The person with the gun. 00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:58.239 The looters will win that whole thing, yes. 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:00.480 I've been kind of gaming this whole thing out. 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.159 Like, what is the what is the thing you do if that happens? 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:09.280 I honestly think

00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:03.440 I'm drinking a corona reading about this coronavirus. 00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.039 That was the last week of February of 2020. 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:14.559 We come home and it's like it really starts rumbling heavy, and it's all over the news, all over the news. 00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:18.480 The first day of lockdown was my birthday, 2020. 00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:23.280 It was. 00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:27.039 I think white claws were a thing back then. 00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:28.320 No, they were. 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:28.880 They were. 00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:30.800 They had just started gaining popularity. 00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.519 I had it, I hadn't had a white claw in 2020. 00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:40.239 I like white claws were like after the pandemic, the the seltzers really popped off. 00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:47.679 Um that's because people found you couldn't drink, you couldn't just continue drinking beer all day at home in lockdown. 00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:50.159 That was what was interesting, right? 00:45:50.320 --> 00:46:01.920 So it was such a funny thing because I remember I remember being so so conflicted because Pachamama had just happened, and then the coronavirus gets unleashed. 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:09.440 And it's like, is this is this pandemic a punishment from God for Pachamama? 00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:14.639 Or is the pandemic total BS and a psyop and not actually anything? 00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:15.440 It's just a flu. 00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:17.199 It can be both. 00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:19.039 Because I think it was both. 00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:20.239 It was I think it was both. 00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:21.360 It shut the world down. 00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:29.519 So it had the consequences of a real pandemic, and a ton of people did die, even if it was purposeful, purposefully done. 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:34.960 But it was also a nonsense, just a just a flu for the average person. 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:35.760 Right. 00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:40.639 You know, but then I mean millions of people die every year from whatever flu's going around. 00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:44.559 Like that did happen, but but it was dude. 00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:50.239 There was a real correlation between Pachamama happens in October at that center. 00:46:51.039 -->

00:46:51.679 Yeah. 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.599 And then a week later we start hearing little rumbles about a pandemic. 00:46:56.239 --> 00:47:00.079 I started so I had just moved up to this area in September. 00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:01.119 Right? 00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:05.760 And just started a new job like September 30th, 2019. 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:06.159 Yeah. 00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:13.360 Just started a new job doing um government and military travel arrangements September 30th. 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:22.559 And we had three months of training, um, because you're dealing with uh airline computer systems that were literally 50 years old. 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:34.719 Um, but but yeah, so we did training and you know, we're as we get released out of training to actually start working, like you're starting to hear the rumblings out of China, right? 00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:39.360 And then like you start to hear it happen, you know, like it hits Seattle kind of. 00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:56.000 And um then all of a sudden, like the government just stops travel completely, and 50% of that company, you know, like 25,000 employees laid off instantly because the government stopped traveling. 00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:58.639 Um man, that was a crazy time. 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:05.280 My dad took a cruise in January, he was almost on a plague ship, dude. 00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:08.000 He I think he got it when he was on the cruise. 00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:12.000 Because, dude, he had never been so sick in his life. 00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:23.280 Yep, he was I'm talking like for three weeks he couldn't breathe, he was in such bad shape, and but we didn't know coronavirus was a thing yet. 00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:28.800 And then when he got home, like he finally recovered, and then all of a sudden the coronavirus starts popping off. 00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:31.760 So March 16th is the beginning of lockdowns. 00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:34.000 That's my birthday. 00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:40.000 I think it was like March the March 30th for us here in Minnesota, but yeah. 00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:44.559 It took that long for you guys, it was it was two weeks to stop the spread. 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:53.440 Yeah, and uh I it just kind of has that feeling in the air right now, like something is coming. 00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:56.960 I so like like October of 2019, all over. 00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:04.079 Yeah, and I think that we're I think around March is when I think to I think they run the same playbook. 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:05.599 Could be. 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:15.519 I think they run the same playbook, they always need another thing, and there's gonna be another thing that they need you to get, and if you don't get on board with it, you don't get to buy or sell. 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:23.119 I think the last one was the roadmap, and the next one might be the real thing. 00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:25.840 We'll see. 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:29.360 I mean, or that'll be another foreshadow, that'll be another type. 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.719 There could be several types on the way, you know what I mean? 00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:42.320 We could just go through another thing, and then you have, yeah, you could you could have several of these types leading up to the main event. 00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:43.519 So I don't know. 00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:49.360 It kind of has that feeling in the air, kind of, kind of I I I have that feeling of unease. 00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:54.559 Uh, I would have bet a lot of money and had no idea what coronavirus was, but no, not in October. 00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:58.719 It was it was the first you started hearing about it in hindsight. 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:00.719 Like in in hindsight, you remember that. 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:09.679 The first I started hearing about it like actually being a thing was when I was on vacation and I started making jokes about drinking a corona. 00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:12.000 I don't know about this coronavirus, but I'm drinking a corona, you know. 00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:15.280 I remember that joke. 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:18.079 Yeah, the rat hope experiment. 00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:25.760 They put us in the next one, and you think, oh, just wait it out in a year and a half, everything will be okay, but the next time it doesn't get better. 00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:28.000 Forget. 00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:32.159 We forget what they put us through, man. 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.159 Forget the hell they put us through. 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.960 Taffy was a pro Taffy was a toilet paper prepper. 00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:44.000 You know what?
