Hackers Drain $40M From Brazil's Largest Exchange and Attack Europe's Food Supply ၏ စာသားမှတ်တမ်းအပြည့်အစုံ

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:25.000 some way, shape, or form at this point 81 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.060 in time. Everybody's using it. So, I don't 82 00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:28.620 know, is, is there a lesson to be 83 00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:31.460 learned here other than ones we already know? 84 00:04:31.460 --> 00:04:33.700 Joe, go for it. Oh, yeah, go ahead. 85 00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:35.840 I don't know, Walker, go ahead. Go ahead. 86 00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:38.640 Go ahead. I was just going to say, 87 00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:40.160 I think at this point, to your question, 88 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.720 Ben, I think it's safe to assume that, 89 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.860 like, everybody is, every, every, everyone's using AI 90 00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:46.340 for everything. There's always going to be an 91 00:04:46.340 --> 00:04:48.500 AI component to these things, whether or not 92 00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:51.440 the eventual, like, whether or not the exploit 93 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:54.500 itself was, like, self, you know, whatever, whatever, 94 00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:55.880 self -directed or, you know, like, just like, 95 00:04:55.880 --> 00:04:56.260 like, they just let their, you know, like, 96 00:04:56.260 --> 00:04:57.540 they just let their. I go, whatever. I 97 00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:00.740 think it's pretty clear that at this point, 98 00:05:00.740 --> 00:05:05.360 anything that runs on software is potentially vulnerable. 99 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.200 And that's kind of like a wild, like, 100 00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:10.080 that's sort of always been the case. But 101 00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:13.620 like, the old assumption that like, well, okay, 102 00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:15.100 maybe somebody could figure out how to get 103 00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:17.020 in, but they'd have to expend so many 104 00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:19.200 resources and try so many things and who's 105 00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:22.380 going to do that? It's like, the clankers, 106 00:05:22.380 --> 00:05:25.760 the clankers will. A bunch of subagents, like, 107 00:05:25.760 --> 00:05:26.260 will, will, will, will, we'll, will, we'll, will, 108 00:05:26.260 --> 00:05:27.760 we'll, will, we'll, do it and if your 109 00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:30.740 American clankers won't the Chinese ones man, they 110 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:33.860 don't mind, they will do anything you say. 111 00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:35.220 So it's just like you just have to 112 00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:36.420 assume, and I think it's a good reminder 113 00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:38.700 for people at an individual level to sort 114 00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:40.700 of like red team themselves a little bit 115 00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:42.780 and to go in and like kind of 116 00:05:42.780 --> 00:05:44.980 audit your own security best practices. And you 117 00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:46.560 may think like, well, I'm not a, I'm 118 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.800 not some big, you know, I'm not a 119 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.220 big whale, I'm not a target, whatever. It 120 00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:53.140 may be true, but it's like every everyone 121 00:05:53.140 --> 00:05:55.640 can be a target and getting a lot 122 00:05:55.640 --> 00:05:57.680 of small fish. adds up to a whale, 123 00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.060 right? So for these hackers, it's like, I 124 00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:01.280 mean, that's what happened, like, in the in 125 00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:02.820 the cold card case, right? It's like, there 126 00:06:02.820 --> 00:06:04.440 wasn't, it wasn't like one whale got drained 127 00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:06.220 for thousands of Bitcoin. It was like a 128 00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:08.540 bunch of, you know, hard stacking plebs got 129 00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:10.640 drained, right? So I think it's just a 130 00:06:10.640 --> 00:06:13.000 good reminder to like, maybe just do your 131 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.780 own little security checkups. Maybe set an automated 132 00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:17.120 task for your clanker to do some automated 133 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.120 checkups, a little, you know, penetration testing. Joey 134 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.660 especially likes that kind of testing, if you 135 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:24.800 know what I mean. Okay, okay, I'm done. 136 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.540 Fast and tight. You guys. You guys. I 137 00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:28.060 know about the back chat, but yeah. It's 138 00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:32.320 good. It's been fired lately. Anyway, enough of 139 00:06:32.320 --> 00:06:37.620 Joey's sexual preferences. But really, like, take some 140 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:38.780 time and set this stuff up. And the 141 00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:40.080 great thing is that now it's, it's actually 142 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.340 easier than ever from a defensive posture as 143 00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:44.340 well. There's not an excuse, like, I don't 144 00:06:44.340 --> 00:06:45.120 know how to do that. I don't know 145 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.260 how to check that. Like, just ask the 146 00:06:47.260 --> 00:06:49.220 clanker. Ask the clanker how to do it. 147 00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:51.000 And it's like, it's not going to hurt 148 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.320 for you to brush up on your security 149 00:06:53.320 --> 00:06:56.240 best practices a little bit. Like, OPSEC has 150 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.700 never mattered more than at this moment right 151 00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:02.940 now. Yeah, 100%. I do want to toss 152 00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:04.320 it to Joey. One thing I wanted to 153 00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:07.120 throw in just as a little bit of 154 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.660 extra spice, just to add in. So the 155 00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:14.740 FBI linked the $6 .3 billion finance hack 156 00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:16.900 from last week to North Korea as Trump 157 00:07:16.900 --> 00:07:20.520 response. So they attributed the hack to Korea's 158 00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:23.920 traitor -trader hacking group, which has been

linked 159 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.800 to the Lazarus Group, and the $1 .5 160 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.480 billion buy -bit hack, U .S. authorities warn 161 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.740 that the attackers are converting stolen assets into 162 00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:34.360 ETH as part of efforts to launder the 163 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.000 proceeds. Trump previously said the U .S. was 164 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.440 investigating North Korea's involvement, adding that Binets had 165 00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:43.380 assured officials the situation was pretty much under 166 00:07:43.380 --> 00:07:47.600 control. Again, $3 billion in stolen assets have 167 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.900 been frozen. So that's all the stable coins, 168 00:07:49.900 --> 00:07:52.540 of course. Binance has committed more than $6 169 00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:55.140 .34 billion in company funds to cover losses. 170 00:07:55.140 --> 00:07:58.760 says the attack is the largest theft. Not 171 00:07:58.760 --> 00:08:02.400 just cryptocurrency, but the largest heist of any 172 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.000 kind ever. So yeah, a little bit extra 173 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.520 there. Joey, I'll continue tossing. Oh, but wait, 174 00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:11.320 there's more because I just saw this 21 175 00:08:11.320 --> 00:08:13.440 minutes ago. So Joey, who's never talking. Who's 176 00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:16.240 telling the truth? Just in. North Korea says 177 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.220 it's not responsible for the $6 billion finance 178 00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:22.260 crypto hack. And honestly, like, I don't know 179 00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:23.700 why they would necessarily lie. I'm sure they 180 00:08:23.700 --> 00:08:24.920 have a good reason. Maybe they don't, maybe 181 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.800 there's some more public sanctions or something they 182 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.980 could throw on them. But either way, I 183 00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:29.480 found that kind of interesting. So FBI says 184 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.840 they did it. And chubby man over here 185 00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:34.080 is saying, no. So, Joey, your thoughts? On 186 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.460 Binance, what did I say on Friday? That 187 00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:38.260 there was only one company who got to 188 00:08:38.260 --> 00:08:40.680 look at Binance or FTX's books, and it 189 00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:42.580 was Binance back when they were kind of 190 00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:44.420 going under. And a lot of people at 191 00:08:44.420 --> 00:08:47.600 that time in the mainstream were parroting CZ's 192 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.340 line that they didn't like what they saw. 193 00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:51.520 There was many more people outside the mainstream 194 00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:53.020 saying that the reason CZ didn't want to 195 00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:55.200 buy it is because his. books weren't as 196 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.620 good as he was saying. And he didn't 197 00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:59.040 want any chance of that gap in his 198 00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:00.640 balance sheet being exposed. Now, here we are 199 00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:03.860 a few years later. Same theory that he's, 200 00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:05.560 you know, they pinned on North Korea, Lazarus 201 00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:07.440 Group. These are names that are household basically 202 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.180 at this point for everyone accept the boomer 203 00:09:09.180 --> 00:09:11.980 normies. And it's an easy sell for a 204 00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:13.540 lot of people. Looks good in the news. 205 00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:15.520 It's something everyone kind of just accepts at 206 00:09:15.520 --> 00:09:17.460 face value. And then to your point, Nathan, 207 00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:18.440 like, how many people are going to look 208 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.880 at Kimmy there and be like, yeah, you 209 00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:23.020 know, I think this guy's telling the truth. 210 00:09:23.020 --> 00:09:25.300 the answer's not many. And so it's a 211 00:09:25.300 --> 00:09:28.120 very convenient story in my view. The Mercado 212 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.040 thing is a different different animal, I think, 213 00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:32.940 in a few ways. We've talked a lot 214 00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:34.060 on the show, and we're not the only 215 00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:37.220 ones, obviously, saying that Bitcoin and Crypto more 216 00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:39.020 broadly are going to be the canary in 217 00:09:39.020 --> 00:09:40.000 the coal mine for a lot of this 218 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.400 AI offensive cyber type stuff. I think that's 219 00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:45.640 true. But one thing I think is underdissust 220 00:09:45.640 --> 00:09:48.260 is how it's actually stuff in the third 221 00:09:48.260 --> 00:09:50.360 world that's going to be the canary in 222 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.960 the coal mine. You know, Mercado is losing 223 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.740 something to the tune of like a million 224 00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:58.680 dollars a minute, basically, okay? And no one 225 00:09:58.680 --> 00:10:01.480 over there seems to have any wherewithal to 226 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.340 stop it or figure out what's going on. 227 00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:05.960 And still today, we don't have, you know, 228 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.720 a great answer for what's happened. Obviously, there's 229 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.000 still some theories floating around or whatever. But 230 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.260 I think that if you look at that, 231 00:10:13.260 --> 00:10:15.240 if you look at even the recent election 232 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.140 in Brazil, there's like a number of different 233 00:10:18.140 --> 00:10:20.520 places you can kind of point to that 234 00:10:20.520 --> 00:10:22.940 are going to be more, I don't want 235 00:10:22.940 --> 00:10:26.280 to say friendly, but there's fewer consequences for 236 00:10:26.280 -->

00:10:29.580 an AI or cyber or other sort of 237 00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:34.040 like modern operation going awry than there would 238 00:10:34.040 --> 00:10:37.100 be here. It's unlikely to me that the 239 00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:40.900 same, the same, you know, offensive cyber groups 240 00:10:40.900 --> 00:10:44.360 would go for Coinbase knowing that if they 241 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.020 get it wrong, the consequences will be probably 242 00:10:47.020 --> 00:10:49.320 far more dire than if they go for 243 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.520 something like Mercado, you know, and get the 244 00:10:51.520 --> 00:10:53.020 40 mil. 40 mil is pretty good if 245 00:10:53.020 --> 00:10:54.820 you can get it. Across a bunch of 246 00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:57.220 different chains, we just saw with the with 247 00:10:57.220 --> 00:10:58.660 the Bina attack that these guys are now 248 00:10:58.660 --> 00:11:01.700 deploying like novel methods using AI, you know, 249 00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:03.820 like Walker said, there's always an angle here, 250 00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:07.700 using AI to mix and obscure in ways 251 00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:10.640 that in ways that we've never seen before. 252 00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:14.600 They're trying it in AAA and eventually the 253 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.260 majors will come calling and when they do, 254 00:11:17.260 --> 00:11:18.740 it's not going to be their first rodeo. 255 00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:21.580 But it will be CoinBases or who the 256 00:11:21.580 --> 00:11:24.500 big exchange is over here, right? As far 257 00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:25.960 as we know, these guys have not been 258 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.900 subjected to any real, difficult to parry attacks. 259 00:11:30.900 --> 00:11:32.460 Maybe they have been, maybe they're red teaming, 260 00:11:32.460 --> 00:11:34.540 maybe they're doing all these things. But at 261 00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:37.540 the speed of which the models are advancing, 262 00:11:37.540 --> 00:11:38.700 it's difficult to say for sure. I'll add 263 00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.180 one more thing. And I know, Walker, you 264 00:11:40.180 --> 00:11:41.400 said this a couple weeks ago, and I 265 00:11:41.400 --> 00:11:44.580 think you're probably right. IPO, obviously coming for 266 00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:47.240 Anthropic, which means more capabilities, which means more 267 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.720 training for the open weight models, which means 268 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.820 more. fire power for these guys who want 269 00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:55.120 to operate in the shadows. And I think 270 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.580 the fear, you know, the fear for these 271 00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:01.340 big exchanges has to be that there's just 272 00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:04.840 too many and there's too many people with 273 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.840 too much horsepower for companies of this size 274 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.920 to stay agile against. Coinbase, you know, maybe 275 00:12:12.920 --> 00:12:15.360 is sort of a mid -sized AAA company, 276 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.280 let's say. It's probably easier for someone a 277 00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:21.900 little smaller to take red -tebrose. teaming more 278 00:12:21.900 --> 00:12:23.840 seriously, right? With less of an HR department 279 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.680 or whatever. I know Coinbase is, you know, 280 00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:27.660 anti -politicking in HR and stuff, but you 281 00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:29.160 get the idea. I think, I think there's 282 00:12:29.160 --> 00:12:31.480 going to be, you know, there's some fun 283 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.320 stuff coming down the road here. I don't 284 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.940 know what you guys think, but, you know, 285 00:12:34.940 --> 00:12:36.800 one thing we've not talked about is the 286 00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:38.780 likelihood that we get issues tomorrow during the 287 00:12:38.780 --> 00:12:42.240 midterms in the states. Ooh. And it doesn't 288 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.340 have to be anything serious. Could be power 289 00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:48.760 outages. Could be, you know, internet of things, 290 00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:51.000 air conditioners in high school gyms where people 291 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.420 are, voting going under could, like, any number 292 00:12:53.420 --> 00:12:54.780 of things could happen tomorrow. And no one's 293 00:12:54.780 --> 00:12:57.340 talking about it. Instead, they're talking about, you 294 00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:00.060 know, the usual midterm stuff, right? The midterm 295 00:13:00.060 --> 00:13:02.040 election cycle stuff. But I think tomorrow you 296 00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:03.480 could have, you could see some fireworks. I 297 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.440 don't know. Well, one thing's for sure, though, 298 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:10.400 is that those digital, digital voting boxes are, 299 00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:13.160 there's 100 % no -safe and secure. Same 300 00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:16.180 and secure. Not open source, but who needs 301 00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:19.440 it for something as of us little importance 302 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.200 as the sanctity of an election, right? No, 303 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:23.600 of course. You know, Joey, there's a few 304 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.300 things that kind of stuck out with me. 305 00:13:25.300 --> 00:13:26.420 One, I'm even thinking about this idea that 306 00:13:26.420 --> 00:13:28.020 Walker was talking about, like, many small fish 307 00:13:28.020 --> 00:13:29.440 adding up to a big whale. If I 308 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.040 was a bad actor, attacker, maybe I'd go 309 00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:33.660 for the small or the medium -sized exchanges 310 00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:35.460 in countries that are not the U .S. 311 00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:37.500 Because the resources then come back after you, 312 00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.240 they don't have the ability to do so. 313 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:40.300 So you walk away to

40 million, you 314 00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:42.160 call the day there. And it's funny because 315 00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:43.680 your comment on the midterm, I never even 316 00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:45.300 thought about that, but like, don't forget how 317 00:13:45.300 --> 00:13:47.000 much money is on the line, like those 318 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.440 US budgets. So to get control over that 319 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.200 by able to sway districts one -and -one, 320 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.360 way or the other, that's a huge, like, 321 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.600 we talk about Big Point being the first 322 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.960 one attacked because the value was there. That's 323 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.980 another one where the value is absolutely there. 324 00:13:58.980 --> 00:13:59.560 If you can move it the way you 325 00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:00.780 want, so you want to say something. If 326 00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:03.260 you believe that this stuff coming out from 327 00:14:03.260 --> 00:14:05.420 like the Tucker Carlson's and a few of 328 00:14:05.420 --> 00:14:07.560 his, you know, peers about nuclear war and 329 00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:09.660 Netanyahu and all these things, if you believe 330 00:14:09.660 --> 00:14:11.700 there's a than zero percent chance this stuff 331 00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:14.920 is true, then there is a lot riding 332 00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:18.900 on tomorrow night, a lot, here, there, and 333 00:14:18.900 --> 00:14:21.480 abroad. And I think people just don't. don't, 334 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.020 they don't, again, the normies who are going 335 00:14:24.020 --> 00:14:25.720 to the ballot box tomorrow just have no 336 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.360 fucking idea what they're looking at, what the, 337 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.800 what the landscape looks like. And so it's 338 00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:32.840 up to guys like us, you know, who 339 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.840 are kind of like, you know, we're the 340 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.780 leaders of households, we're fathers, we're community, you 341 00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:40.020 know, community leaders and stuff like that to 342 00:14:40.020 --> 00:14:42.560 try and prepare people we love for what 343 00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:46.860 the possible outcomes are, political cyber warfare or 344 00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:49.860 otherwise. And, you know, we also have not 345 00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:52.320 mentioned on this show every fucking government all 346 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.440 of a sudden is telling everyone to have 347 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.240 like three days worth the can tuna like 348 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.900 we don't think this is a little weird 349 00:14:56.900 --> 00:14:59.060 there's nothing weird about this they're not just 350 00:14:59.060 --> 00:15:00.380 worried that the fridges are going to get 351 00:15:00.380 --> 00:15:01.200 too hot and they're not going to be 352 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.940 able to sell the fish I don't think 353 00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:05.140 that's what they're what they're thinking when they 354 00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:07.260 give these warnings it's just all this stuff 355 00:15:07.260 --> 00:15:10.500 together lot going on what what warning specifically 356 00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:12.000 are you talking about though well they're you 357 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.520 talking everybody's been report okay because everybody in 358 00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:16.900 the US has been reporting on the whole 359 00:15:16.900 --> 00:15:18.480 like and I don't most of it like 360 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.480 like has been pretty like fake newsy, it's 361 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.540 been like, U .S. government says that, you 362 00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:24.600 know, all military bases need to prepare for 363 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.100 for even war. It's like, no, it's not. 364 00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:29.120 It's literally part of a long -term prep 365 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:30.740 thing. It's a 90 -day prep thing for 366 00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:31.900 them, right? I think they're not going to 367 00:15:31.900 --> 00:15:34.780 be ready for like 10 years. Yeah. So 368 00:15:34.780 --> 00:15:36.100 it's like, it's not like there's just something 369 00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:37.720 like thing like you gotta have it ready 370 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.120 tomorrow. It's like, no, we're woefully underprepared and 371 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.220 it's going to take us a long time 372 00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:42.440 to get there, so we should start doing 373 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.260 it. But you saw all the big news 374 00:15:44.260 --> 00:15:46.600 that's up, you're reporting like, oh boy, here 375 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.900 we go, guess it's time guys. Well, Walker, 376 00:15:49.900 --> 00:15:51.220 not the U .S. with the military, but 377 00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:52.440 it was the Europe and in Canada. They're 378 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.580 talking about having civilians, having supplies on side. 379 00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:56.440 Europe and Canada, I think. You must be 380 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.660 prepared another wave of doctors and engineers to 381 00:15:58.660 --> 00:16:00.240 come in. I just don't know that Europe 382 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.620 and Canada, Europe and Canada on their own 383 00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:04.120 is not enough to raise my radar, but 384 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.940 Japan is. Like, that's a weird one. Why, 385 00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:09.120 you know, like, that's just one that you 386 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.500 don't see a lot of, like, stupid propaganda 387 00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:15.000 from. What about Switzerland? Are they prepping you 388 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.380 too? Is that the - They were one 389 00:16:16.380 --> 00:16:18.760 of the ones in recent days are, in 390 00:16:18.760 --> 00:16:20.400 the past couple of weeks that were like, 391 00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:22.300 yeah, we're getting pretty concerned

about a number 392 00:16:22.300 --> 00:16:24.380 of things. I don't know. I don't know. 393 00:16:24.380 --> 00:16:25.600 That one's a little bit concerned. And actually, 394 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.440 kind of wrapping on a bit, I've been, 395 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:27.380 I know you got some more things to 396 00:16:27.380 --> 00:16:28.540 pull up there, but one of the things 397 00:16:28.540 --> 00:16:30.580 I've been thinking about with regards to, like, 398 00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:32.960 both your fridges and your voting and Bitcoin 399 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.680 is do we have to retreat to the 400 00:16:34.680 --> 00:16:36.020 base layer? Do we have to get away 401 00:16:36.020 --> 00:16:38.040 from the higher abstractions? Just voting have to 402 00:16:38.040 --> 00:16:39.980 go back to pen and paper. Bitcoin, do 403 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:41.600 we have to get away from the abstractions, 404 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:42.540 the second layers right now and go back 405 00:16:42.540 --> 00:16:43.860 to just basics, right? Like, we have to 406 00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:45.660 just focus on. We can't maybe target medium 407 00:16:45.660 --> 00:16:47.380 of exchange anymore right now. We've got to 408 00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:49.300 focus on just having self -cost and just 409 00:16:49.300 --> 00:16:51.280 direct -to -peer working without any problems. Like, 410 00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:52.700 we had the BTC Pay server stuff come 411 00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:54.880 up in. Yeah, yeah. So there's a bunch 412 00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:57.420 of things. So we're going to go on 413 00:16:57.420 --> 00:16:59.020 a bit of a ride here because there's 414 00:16:59.020 --> 00:17:02.900 just so much going on. Everything's being exploited. 415 00:17:02.900 --> 00:17:06.860 Unfortunately, for BTC Pay server, this is yet 416 00:17:06.860 --> 00:17:08.980 another one. There was one earlier in the 417 00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:11.980 summer shortly after the cold card exploit that 418 00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:15.480 Craig Rae discovered because his creator of Sparrow 419 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.440 wallet, his BTCPay server wallet, got swept. This 420 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.300 one, they're receiving reports of hot wallets on 421 00:17:22.300 --> 00:17:25.200 BTC server being swept by unauthorized attackers. If 422 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.980 you're running an instance, please shut it down. 423 00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:29.680 They dropped a command there and used that 424 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.720 until we complete the investigation. They did update, 425 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:38.120 identified an attack vector targeting instances running versions 426 00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:42.260 2 .4 .1 or older. No credible reports 427 00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:45.060 of hot wallets for users running the latest 428 00:17:45.060 --> 00:17:49.360 release. Yeah. So anyways, it looks like - 429 00:17:49.360 --> 00:17:50.520 How many exchanges do you think are using 430 00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:52.820 BTC Pay Server? Like, I have no information, 431 00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:53.920 but I wonder if that could be like 432 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:59.040 Mercado's issue. Well, here's the thing. When you 433 00:17:59.040 --> 00:18:00.960 set up a BTC Pay server, you have 434 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:05.500 the option to create a wallet with it 435 00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:07.940 or use a pre -existing one. If you're 436 00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.520 using a pre -existing one, even if that 437 00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:12.680 one was hot, you're typically importing like a 438 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.660 watch -only version of it. And it even 439 00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:18.700 says in the document. documentation as you're going 440 00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:21.840 through the wizard that it's you know this 441 00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:24.300 is not the recommended way of doing it 442 00:18:24.300 --> 00:18:26.460 of just like spinning up a new wallet 443 00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:29.940 natively in BTC pay server that's hot you 444 00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:32.960 want to link something externally like ideally cold 445 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.560 storage would be good and so yeah I've 446 00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:38.540 got I've got to I've got to wonder 447 00:18:38.540 --> 00:18:40.400 how many people just go and they just 448 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.760 create the wallet directly in BTC pay I 449 00:18:43.760 --> 00:18:45.540 don't know not not the best option I 450 00:18:45.540 --> 00:18:49.400 almost think like is Is it best to 451 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.540 maybe deprecate that or hide that in like 452 00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:54.340 some sort of like advanced setting? I don't 453 00:18:54.340 --> 00:18:58.540 know. But yeah, nonetheless, I also, we alluded 454 00:18:58.540 --> 00:19:04.840 to it, we're talking about freezers and refrigeration. 455 00:19:04.840 --> 00:19:07.240 Anyways, Europe under massive widespread cyber attack right 456 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.240 now, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Estonia, Ireland, Netherlands, and 457 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:16.280 now Finland, disruptions to supermarket refrigerators systems causing 458 00:19:16.280 --> 00:19:19.660 food to go off. attack is spreading. One 459 00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:21.560 of the best comments, I think, and you 460 00:19:21.560 --> 00:19:24.740 guys had just said it, Bobby Shell, we 461 00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:27.260 don't need internet of things. I mean, in 462 00:19:27.260 --> 00:19:30.360 this day and age, where fucking every light 463 00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:33.060 bulb in your house and your doorbell and 464 00:19:33.060 --> 00:19:35.500 your doorlocks and all of that are all 465 00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:38.860 just wired up to Google and Apple and, 466 00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:43.840 you know, whatever, I think, yeah, maybe it's 467 00:19:43.840 --> 00:19:46.340 time to take a number of steps backward. 468 00:19:46.340 --> 00:19:49.580 First of all, are they really that

convenient? 469 00:19:49.580 --> 00:19:51.640 Not really, like, they end up being more 470 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:52.760 of a pain in the ass if they 471 00:19:52.760 --> 00:19:54.220 go out and you got to reprogram them 472 00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:57.440 and everything. But now, it's like, now some 473 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.020 person can just get in and control every 474 00:20:00.020 --> 00:20:03.280 aspect of every electronic item in your home. 475 00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:05.560 Like, I'd really like to limit that. And 476 00:20:05.560 --> 00:20:10.400 so I think we might see a purposeful 477 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.880 step back from some of these supposed improvements 478 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:17.980 to your home life. But just furthermore, details 479 00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:21.320 here on the refrigeration hackers took over fridges 480 00:20:21.320 --> 00:20:24.480 and freezers at 70 plus supermarkets in four 481 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.720 European countries overnight, ruining the food supply. Temperatures 482 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.840 were raised as high as 50 degrees Celsius, 483 00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:33.760 three weeks after hundreds of French supermarkets were 484 00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:35.420 hit in the same way. The Pentagon is 485 00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:38.640 also investigating similar freezer failures at 7 plus 486 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:43.080 U .S. military bases. Yeah, I mean, it's 487 00:20:43.080 --> 00:20:45.300 just, if you look at this past week, 488 00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:48.740 we're not. It's like 6 .4 bill from 489 00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:52.360 Binance, polymarket wallet drain, cloud code, extension, backdoor, 490 00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:55.620 chat, GBT, GBT, shared, link, flaw, GitHub, action, 491 00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:59.800 secret theft, vault typhoons, covert network, we chat, 492 00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:02.800 Chrome, search hijacking, fake emergency emergency alerts, AI 493 00:21:02.800 --> 00:21:07.500 -assisted ransomware, malicious AI models, like, there's just, 494 00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:11.080 it's, it's, it's, what do we even say 495 00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:14.340 about it? So, a quick note on the 496 00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:17.420 refrigerator side. I believe this may actually, and 497 00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.860 somebody can check me on this, this may 498 00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:22.440 be one of those consequences of over -regulation. 499 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.040 Because I believe the reason that a lot 500 00:21:24.040 --> 00:21:27.000 of these supermarket fridges and food transportation companies 501 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.000 as well, the reason that they need to 502 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.520 have IoT -connected refrigeration units is because you 503 00:21:32.520 --> 00:21:34.000 need to be able to prove with an 504 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.180 audit trail that your refrigeration unit stayed at 505 00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:39.360 a certain temperature the entire time, that it 506 00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:41.040 never deviated from that. So you can say 507 00:21:41.040 --> 00:21:43.160 the food has always been kept, that it 508 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.320 is like, this is like, this is like, 509 00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:47.160 required everywhere, not just, I think, in Europe 510 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.520 for any sort of, like, medical technology, right? 511 00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:52.160 Like, anything that needs, you know, I don't 512 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.500 know, pipettes of various fluids. Joey knows something 513 00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:58.240 about that. They need to be kept at 514 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.920 a certain temperature, right? Like, that's the case, 515 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.660 like medical technology. Okay, that makes sense, right? 516 00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:07.380 But I believe also, maybe, I don't know, 517 00:22:07.380 --> 00:22:08.220 Nathan, if you can find anything, I could 518 00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:09.380 be talking on my ass, but I'm pretty 519 00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:10.740 sure in a lot of these cases, especially 520 00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:13.620 for food delivery companies, and especially for larger, 521 00:22:13.620 --> 00:22:16.080 like, supermarket chains, they need to be able 522 00:22:16.080 --> 00:22:18.440 to prove that, look, our food has been 523 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.420 kept, and it's also like a liability thing 524 00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:22.120 for them, so that if somebody gets sick, 525 00:22:22.120 --> 00:22:23.300 they can say, look, it wasn't our fault 526 00:22:23.300 --> 00:22:25.400 for refrigerating it, throw that, you know, pass 527 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.720 the buck to the manufacturer or whatever. But 528 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.780 I think that that's probably the impetus for 529 00:22:29.780 --> 00:22:32.660 this. And again, like, there are all these, 530 00:22:32.660 --> 00:22:34.300 I think a lot of the, like, zooming 531 00:22:34.300 --> 00:22:36.400 out here, one of the things that's going 532 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:38.100 to be really interesting out of all of 533 00:22:38.100 --> 00:22:40.100 this is that I think that people, not 534 00:22:40.100 --> 00:22:42.860 all people, obviously, but many are going to 535 00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:47.200 start actually thinking hard about the tradeoffs between, 536 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:50.560 like, the convenience, the supposed convenience of certain 537 00:22:50.560 --> 00:22:53.300 things versus, and, you know, your safety versus 538 00:22:53.300 --> 00:22:56.440 freedom. And, and I use that as like 539 00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:58.100 the simple heuristic, right? But it's the idea 540 00:22:58.100 --> 00:23:01.180 that, okay, yeah, you want all these things 541 00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:03.180 regulated, right? So you feel safe buying them. 542 00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:05.200 And because you don't trust that, hey, if 543 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.220 somebody gets sick eating at the supermarket, that 544

00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:08.480 you don't trust that the free market will 545 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:10.400 just punish that supermarket by nobody ever going 546 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:12.760 there again. We need the regulation to step 547 00:23:12.760 --> 00:23:14.640 in. so that we can make sure this 548 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.920 stuff doesn't happen in the first place, right? 549 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:18.340 I think that people are going to reevaluate 550 00:23:18.340 --> 00:23:22.420 those sort of paradigms and say, well, okay, 551 00:23:22.420 --> 00:23:24.500 if all of this burdensome regulation that we 552 00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:25.700 have is causing us to need to have 553 00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:27.860 IOC -T connected everything just to prove that 554 00:23:27.860 --> 00:23:32.320 nobody's getting, you know, nobody's chicken is being 555 00:23:32.320 --> 00:23:34.420 kept at an improper temperature for any length 556 00:23:34.420 --> 00:23:37.680 of time, like all of these things introduce 557 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.800 vulnerabilities, right? If you got a, if you 558 00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:42.460 got a dumb refrigeration unit that's not connected 559 00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:45.500 to the internet, just runs there locally at 560 00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:46.860 your place, doesn't need to be connected to 561 00:23:46.860 --> 00:23:50.440 the internet. That thing's safe. Things fine. Home 562 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.800 fridges, too. I don't understand people buying smart 563 00:23:52.800 --> 00:23:55.020 fridges, like, for one. Like, you should fucking 564 00:23:55.020 --> 00:23:57.440 throw that thing out, man. To your point, 565 00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.380 there's no direct regulation that it has to 566 00:23:59.380 --> 00:24:02.580 be, like, internet connected. However, it is required 567 00:24:02.580 --> 00:24:04.940 that they maintain a clear, like, track record 568 00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:06.340 of that. So that means it's the easiest 569 00:24:06.340 --> 00:24:07.820 way to do it. They have to show 570 00:24:07.820 --> 00:24:10.940 you on a trail. The EU has, the 571 00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:12.660 EU has, called chavreys. Coltain must not be 572 00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:13.800 interrupted. and they have to be able to 573 00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:16.460 prove it as well. They have ranks. So 574 00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:19.760 that sector has something called NIS II cyber 575 00:24:19.760 --> 00:24:21.680 rules for large operators. So it tells you 576 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:23.660 what you're allowed to use and how you 577 00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:25.600 have to share that data. So it's not 578 00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:28.760 direct regulation, but it's pretty close. And so 579 00:24:28.760 --> 00:24:33.260 these guys are regulating in terms of what 580 00:24:33.260 --> 00:24:35.300 they expect each operator to have. and the 581 00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:38.760 fucking, the funniest thing about this is that 582 00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:41.680

everyone at these fucking places would never treat 583 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.480 their own home hardware this way. The vulnerability 584 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.040 is from a 2016 version of most of 585 00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:49.760 these OSs, the Dan Foss OSs. Like, it's 586 00:24:49.760 --> 00:24:52.840 fucking 11 years old. And no one in 587 00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:55.080 any of these places decided, yeah, maybe we 588 00:24:55.080 --> 00:24:56.620 should just, like, do the system update or 589 00:24:56.620 --> 00:24:57.760 something. And Walker, I know we were talking 590 00:24:57.760 --> 00:24:59.900 before the show, but how it works. The 591 00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:02.460 coils on some of these machines have like 592 00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:04.860 a quick heat feature to melt ice to 593 00:25:04.860 --> 00:25:06.980 prevent damage. Deep -pross method, right? Exactly. And 594 00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:08.320 so what it does is just runs that 595 00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:09.780 on loop, right? Basically turns the thing into 596 00:25:09.780 --> 00:25:11.340 a fucking oven. What was the number you 597 00:25:11.340 --> 00:25:13.300 gave in the chat there, Nate? 122 Fahrenheit 598 00:25:13.300 --> 00:25:16.580 for our wonderful American. Pretty hot. Pretty hot. 599 00:25:16.580 --> 00:25:17.640 I just want to take a moment and 600 00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:19.500 give a shout out to my secondhand mini 601 00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:20.860 fridge in the garage that I think I've 602 00:25:20.860 --> 00:25:22.580 had from before I met my wife. That's 603 00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:24.060 the coldest fridge that I got and it's 604 00:25:24.060 --> 00:25:26.260 still fucking going. No problem. 20 years old. 605 00:25:26.260 --> 00:25:29.160 Yeah, they just just kicking. Dude, cheap, cheap 606 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.360 old fridges, man, are great. Get one. Like, 607 00:25:33.360 --> 00:25:36.040 it may not make you spherical ice cubes 608 00:25:36.040 --> 00:25:38.420 or whatever or like, you know, fluff you 609 00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.620 when you're feeling lonely. Like, it'll keep your 610 00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:42.820 food cold and it won't, you know, hack 611 00:25:42.820 --> 00:25:44.600 into you. I'm also going to say, my 612 00:25:44.600 --> 00:25:47.300 clanker wife predicted this. She predicted it. She 613 00:25:47.300 --> 00:25:52.420 may have been responsible. Amazing. Yeah, I mean, 614 00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:55.280 I'll just say that I definitely tire of 615 00:25:55.280 --> 00:25:58.960 the, even as a person that loves stinkering 616 00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.580 with the latest tech and playing around, it's 617 00:26:01.580 --> 00:26:04.100 like, do I need all of this? And 618 00:26:04.100 --> 00:26:05.880 in light of seeing all this kind of 619 00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:08.340 stuff, it's like sometimes you just want to 620 00:26:08.340 --> 00:26:10.840 turn off a light switch by pressing a 621 00:26:10.840 --> 00:26:13.780 button. Can we just go back? And it's 622 00:26:13.780 --> 00:26:15.980 down the window, right? Yeah, it's always worth. 623 00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:18.360 I don't want an app for everything. Yeah, 624 00:26:18.360 --> 00:26:21.000 buttons and knobs. Like nothing, nothing, I think 625 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.080 we hit peak automation when you had to 626 00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:28.060 go through a number of of smart screen 627 00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:29.860 options to open a glove box in a 628 00:26:29.860 --> 00:26:32.900 car. Like, I think that's, that's where. Peak 629 00:26:32.900 --> 00:26:34.940 automation was that like Alpine deck that you 630 00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:36.140 could get and you could take the face 631 00:26:36.140 --> 00:26:38.100 off in your car. Maybe that's God and 632 00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:39.860 had an auxiliary plug in. That was the 633 00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:41.260 peak. That was perfect. I didn't need anything 634 00:26:41.260 --> 00:26:43.260 more than that. People taking the faces off 635 00:26:43.260 --> 00:26:45.340 their decks. That's like, oh, yeah. I used 636 00:26:45.340 --> 00:26:46.540 to work at a pawn shop, buddy. We 637 00:26:46.540 --> 00:26:48.640 were selling and buying ducks all the time. 638 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.080 You weren't to the pawn shop? Did you? 639 00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:54.020 This explains so much. I'm just back there 640 00:26:54.020 --> 00:26:55.980 wheeling and dealing. This makes a lot of 641 00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:58.480 sense. That's a best job I ever had. 642 00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.040 Amazing. All right, jents, I'm going to take 643 00:27:00.040 --> 00:27:01.260 us a break here. On the other side 644 00:27:01.260 --> 00:27:03.020 of the break, are we going to nuclear 645 00:27:03.020 --> 00:27:04.900 war? Well, there seems to be a whole 646 00:27:04.900 --> 00:27:06.220 lot of panic around it. So we're going 647 00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:08.160 to be chatting about that. And we're also 648 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.420 going to be talking about the the actual 649 00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:15.500 warnings of a nuclear strike that were, seemed 650 00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:18.700 to be fake, out of Russia, but before 651 00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:21.980 that, Ukraine. So stay tuned. We'll be back 652 00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:24.780 in just a moment.

You got to let us know when 722 00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:52.920 the ad reads are getting... I know, you 723 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:54.380 know, like, I'm over here, like, I'm just 724 00:29:54.380 --> 00:29:55.620 going to pinch this one off. He's going 725 00:29:55.620 --> 00:29:57.580 to hold it the whole time. I blame 726 00:29:57.580 --> 00:30:03.380 Nathan. He can speed run those things. I 727 00:30:03.380 --> 00:30:06.340 cannot. It's true. It's a very different pacing. 728 00:30:06.340 --> 00:30:08.640 I've had complaints about my own. sponsor, I 729 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.480 mean, you know, pick up the pace. Every 730 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.600 20, 25 minutes, take a, take a two 731 00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:17.340 minute. You know, let's go back to the 732 00:30:17.340 --> 00:30:20.200 days of a Saturday morning cartoons. You just 733 00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:22.760 go, go grab a snack. Go grab some 734 00:30:22.760 --> 00:30:26.540 cereal. No, don't. Grab a steak. Anyways, Israeli 735 00:30:26.540 --> 00:30:32.600 president Netanyahu is pressing Donald Trump to strike 736 00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:35.760 Iran immediately after U .S. midterm elections on 737 00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:40.260 Tuesday per Axios, Israeli. sources reportedly said to 738 00:30:40.260 --> 00:30:43.040 the call was tough while U .S.

sources 739 00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:46.220 described it as direct. President Trump said the 740 00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:49.240 U .S. still has to take care of 741 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:53.260 one or two nuclear sites in Iran. We've 742 00:30:53.260 --> 00:30:55.400 got a hell of a thing over here 743 00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.600 from Tucker, which I don't think I'm going 744 00:30:58.600 --> 00:31:00.440 to be reading through all of that, but 745 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.200 he's been on this train for a while. 746 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:05.600 I will say that it's been going back 747 00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:09.540 to early spring that he's been saying, you 748 00:31:09.540 --> 00:31:11.540 know, we're days away from a nuclear strike 749 00:31:11.540 --> 00:31:14.260 on Iran. So this is like by any 750 00:31:14.260 --> 00:31:16.880 means the first time that this has come 751 00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.520 up. But we also have rallies in Tel 752 00:31:20.520 --> 00:31:25.180 Aviv demanding opposition form a Jewish Arab coalition 753 00:31:25.180 --> 00:31:29.360 to oust Netanyahu. And yeah, we all point 754 00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:31.000 out for one second, too, that we immediately 755 00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:33.180 start talking about like American policy. And Brandon 756 00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:35.100 just shows up and is here on three. 757 00:31:35.100 --> 00:31:38.580 There he is. There he is. Ears are 758 00:31:38.580 --> 00:31:42.560 burning. Sorry, please continue. We're going to need 759 00:31:42.560 --> 00:31:44.960 to get you in here. Yeah, and we 760 00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:49.160 also have Latvia's central banker warns Europe regarding 761 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.360 Russia naive to think we're not at war. 762 00:31:52.360 --> 00:31:54.940 There's just so much swirling around this. And 763 00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:58.780 then furthermore, to make things even worse, Russia's 764 00:31:58.780 --> 00:32:01.400 emergency alert app has now been hacked to 765 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.760 warn of an incoming nuclear strike hours after 766 00:32:04.760 --> 00:32:11.020 Ukrainians received similar fake alerts. I mean, is 767 00:32:11.020 --> 00:32:14.060 this what's going to do it? Is this 768 00:32:14.060 --> 00:32:16.360 going to be what pushes it over the 769 00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:18.660 edge? We're already on the edge and then, 770 00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:21.600 and then, you know, somebody hacks a nuclear 771 00:32:21.600 --> 00:32:24.520 alert system and then somebody fat fingers a 772 00:32:24.520 --> 00:32:27.180 nuke right into wherever the destination happens to 773 00:32:27.180 --> 00:32:28.720 be. Where are we at? Brandon, I'm going 774 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:33.540 to toss it to you. Yeah, we're at 775 00:32:33.540 --> 00:32:35.220 that world. But I don't know. I mean, 776 00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:36.480 I think like even the other day, there 777 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.260 are the preparedness, it'll get 90 days of 778 00:32:39.260 --> 00:32:40.860 food storage on hand, all that stuff. Like, 779 00:32:40.860 --> 00:32:42.020 they send all this stuff out of trial 780 00:32:42.020 --> 00:32:46.220 balloons and testing things. I mean, again, I'm 781 00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:47.660 old enough to remember the last 20 years 782 00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:49.120 when they've just been telling us the sky 783 00:32:49.120 --> 00:32:51.020 is falling. And the whole market's going to 784 00:32:51.020 --> 00:32:52.700 lock up one after 08 and just going 785 00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:54.260 to lock up. This is the time. This 786 00:32:54.260 --> 00:32:55.720 is the time. This is the time. I 787 00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:57.560 mean, at some point, you know, something does 788 00:32:57.560 --> 00:33:00.960 happen. I honestly would be more concerned, yeah, 789 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.940 probably about someone hacking in and doing random 790 00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:07.000 stuff versus the governments, to be totally honest. 791 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.340 We talk about anarchy all the time here, 792 00:33:09.340 --> 00:33:11.000 obviously, when Nathan, and just like the government's 793 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:12.920 being anarchy. But at the same time, I 794 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.120 mean, they're having back channel conversations all the 795 00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:16.920 time. This is why Russia and China were 796 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.100 prepared before the Iran war started. I mean, 797 00:33:19.100 --> 00:33:21.040 the tankers being filled up and they're ready 798 00:33:21.040 --> 00:33:23.660 to go. And, you know, so much of 799 00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:25.400 this, whether it's a UFO stuff or it's 800 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.380 alien stuff, I mean, all these different things 801 00:33:27.380 --> 00:33:30.500 they throw out there. To me, it's when 802 00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:31.540 you kind of go back in history and 803 00:33:31.540 --> 00:33:32.780 look at a lot of these things, it's 804 00:33:32.780 --> 00:33:35.600 one to break people's will, especially the Westerners, 805 00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:37.240 Christians' will. It's really to break. break your 806 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.920 will and to get you demoralize, which I've 807 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:41.040 done a damn good job of. I mean, 808 00:33:41.040 --> 00:33:42.400 Tucker Carlson came out and just, I saw, 809 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:44.300 there's going to nuclear strike, you know, blah, 810 00:33:44.300 --> 00:33:46.560 blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, again, these 811 00:33:46.560 --> 00:33:47.620 are the same people that told you there 812 00:33:47.620 --> 00:33:49.200 was new World War III after I ran, 813 00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:50.460 you know, was bombed, you know, six months 814 00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:52.500 ago, eight months ago. And yeah, I don't 815 00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:54.360 know. And so you keep going down that 816 00:33:54.360 --> 00:33:56.420 path and just believing the doom, doom, doom, 817 00:33:56.420

--> 00:33:59.160 and AI or the black pills everywhere, then 818 00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:00.240 I don't know what to tell you. I 819 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:01.240 mean, I don't know if he said this 820 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.240 another day, but just the frame, the Intel 821 00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.060 briefing I built for myself through, through Claude, 822 00:34:06.060 --> 00:34:07.480 I changed the frame of how it does 823 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.020 it to a little bit too negative for 824 00:34:09.020 --> 00:34:10.760 me. The whole thing is about like the 825 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.480 American Hamiltonian system of like, yeah, these guys 826 00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.520 are doing stupid stuff over here, but like, 827 00:34:15.520 --> 00:34:17.020 man, these guys are really building over here, 828 00:34:17.020 --> 00:34:18.500 though, you should see this. And like, holy 829 00:34:18.500 --> 00:34:20.200 cow, it was such a case study of 830 00:34:20.200 --> 00:34:21.920 like how the legacy news and the legacy 831 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.480 world just gets you so blackpilled and the 832 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.160 narrative they want to push on you instead 833 00:34:26.160 --> 00:34:28.640 of what you could be hearing and just 834 00:34:28.640 --> 00:34:29.740 kind of how you can see the world, 835 00:34:29.740 --> 00:34:31.160 which goes back to half class full, half 836 00:34:31.160 --> 00:34:33.340 class empty, do yourself prepare, control, you can 837 00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:34.960 control, because this is going to be endless 838 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.320 onslaught of just beating you into submission, hiding 839 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.300 things in plain sight, but also beating you 840 00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:41.840 into submission until you just can't take anymore. 841 00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:43.720 And you vote in, you know, Al Saeed 842 00:34:43.720 --> 00:34:45.180 here in Michigan, or you vote in, you 843 00:34:45.180 --> 00:34:47.440 know, whatever, you know, the next communist is 844 00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:49.160 to, hey, you know what, I can't figure 845 00:34:49.160 --> 00:34:51.220 out my life anymore, Mr. Saeed? So can 846 00:34:51.220 --> 00:34:52.640 you just handle it for me? Can you 847 00:34:52.640 --> 00:34:54.520 just do everything for me? I'll check the 848 00:34:54.520 --> 00:34:56.920 box. Here's my signing away my blood, you 849 00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.820 know, my, here's my social security number, everything. 850 00:34:58.820 --> 00:35:00.080 Just do it for me. I can't do 851 00:35:00.080 --> 00:35:02.060 it anymore. And it rapidly feels like we're 852 00:35:02.060 --> 00:35:03.960 getting to that point of CBDCs and slavery. 853 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:05.180 Or, you know, you know, it's. know, in 854 00:35:05.180 --> 00:35:06.560 Bitcoin and Freedom. It's just like we're at 855 00:35:06.560 --> 00:35:08.240 that road and we're going to fork off 856 00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:09.880 very soon to the have and the have 857 00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:11.900 -nots and it's going to become very evident 858 00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:13.940 to people, I think, and probably, you know, 859 00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:18.120 not too distant future. Walker. I would like 860 00:35:18.120 --> 00:35:21.380 Brandon to please share a handoff MD file 861 00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:24.140 for that Intel dashboard, whenever you get a 862 00:35:24.140 --> 00:35:27.700 chance. Thank you very much. I think Brandon 863 00:35:27.700 --> 00:35:29.960 brings up something really important here, which is 864 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:34.560 that there is a need. Like, it's very, 865 00:35:34.560 --> 00:35:35.320 it's very, a very, Okay, let me take 866 00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:37.660 a step back. One of the most difficult 867 00:35:37.660 --> 00:35:41.480 challenges for any thinking man or woman today 868 00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:44.880 is to discern the signal from the noise. 869 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:49.120 It is becoming even more difficult. The ability 870 00:35:49.120 --> 00:35:54.120 of governments, corporations, et cetera, to propagandize the 871 00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:57.160 populace has never been greater. Your ability to 872 00:35:57.160 --> 00:35:59.320 sift through that information and resist that propaganda 873 00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.360 has also never been greater, but it requires 874 00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:03.380 a mind that is capable of discerning logic. 875 00:36:03.380 --> 00:36:05.860 and the ability to use some of these 876 00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:07.940 tools, like Brandon said, to change your frame 877 00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:09.800 around these things, to change what you focus 878 00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:13.920 on. All of that being said, maybe let's 879 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:15.460 like take ourselves back a little bit, because 880 00:36:15.460 --> 00:36:16.620 I did want to touch on one thing 881 00:36:16.620 --> 00:36:18.960 here, which should hopefully pump the views up 882 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.280 with some three -letter agency agents. It is 883 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.220 important to remember, and I know this from 884 00:36:24.220 --> 00:36:28.000 friends of mine who live in Israel, that 885 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.740 leading up to the horrific and, like, abominable 886 00:36:32.740 --> 00:36:37.740 October 6th, seventh massacres, which were, let's clarify 887 00:36:37.740 --> 00:36:41.080 guys, really, really fucking bad and terrible and 888 00:36:41.080 --> 00:36:44.400 horrific, and Hamas is an awful terrorist organization. 889 00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:49.900 We're clear there? Great. There were protests in 890 00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:54.800 the street against Bibi Netanyahu, like, every other 891 00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:58.400 day. Like, by people of all ages of 892 00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:02.060 the population, he was not popular. Not popular 893 00:37:02.060 --> 00:37:05.320 at all. he also is quoted as saying 894 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.860

with, he financed Hamas through Qatar and is 895 00:37:09.860 --> 00:37:11.020 quoted as saying, we need to control the 896 00:37:11.020 --> 00:37:13.100 height of the flame. There is so much 897 00:37:13.100 --> 00:37:15.340 K -Fabe going on in this world. And, 898 00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:17.580 and you, then you get back to the 899 00:37:17.580 --> 00:37:19.880 Iran situation, where it's like, yeah, it turns 900 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.220 out they've got, looks like they're enriching uranium 901 00:37:22.220 --> 00:37:25.020 at Peacock Mountain or whatever it is, pick, 902 00:37:25.020 --> 00:37:28.560 I don't know, pickax Mountain, Dick Vain Mountain, 903 00:37:28.560 --> 00:37:29.880 whatever is. Why isn't an English name? That 904 00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:30.980 was the first thing that jumped out at 905 00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:33.920 me. Is this just the plot of fucking 906 00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.600 mission, the latest mission impossible? Or not, top 907 00:37:36.600 --> 00:37:39.540 gun, top gun. For sure, it is. Like, 908 00:37:39.540 --> 00:37:41.220 this is exactly, is this the whole war 909 00:37:41.220 --> 00:37:43.400 was. Yeah. Like, it's pretty close. Like, they 910 00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:45.560 were prepping us for this. Mm -hmm. But, 911 00:37:45.560 --> 00:37:50.660 like, let's not forget that, and I'll preface 912 00:37:50.660 --> 00:37:51.440 this by saying, and I'll preface this by 913 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:52.920 saying, because people are too fucking smooth brain 914 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.680 to take any nuance. I think a lot 915 00:37:54.680 --> 00:37:55.940 of the stuff that Trump has done is 916 00:37:55.940 --> 00:38:00.080 very good. Okay. He's also the leader of 917 00:38:00.080 --> 00:38:01.460 the free world. and he is going to 918 00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:03.820 lie to you. He has to lie to 919 00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:08.500 you to achieve any agenda. Presidents always lie 920 00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:11.940 to their people. Leaders always lie. Like, they 921 00:38:11.940 --> 00:38:14.880 must. Okay, let me say, not every leader, 922 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.200 perhaps. Perhaps there are some truthful ones. Problem 923 00:38:17.200 --> 00:38:18.540 is that they don't last very long because 924 00:38:18.540 --> 00:38:20.040 the truth is uncomfortable as we've covered in 925 00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:22.460 this show. And they, that or they catch 926 00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:24.340 a bullet. Well, that's what I'm saying. They 927 00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:26.380 don't, they don't last very long. Yep. Yep, 928 00:38:26.380 --> 00:38:29.840 JFK, Lincoln. Yep, yep, yep. The list goes 929 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:34.600 on and on. We were told that, first 930 00:38:34.600 --> 00:38:36.120 of all, Iran had all these capabilities. Then 931 00:38:36.120 --> 00:38:37.480 we were told, did you guys remember? I'm 932 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:39.360 old enough to remember, like, I don't know, 933 00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:41.520 a year ago when we were told we've 934 00:38:41.520 --> 00:38:45.580 wiped out all of their capabilities. June 2025. 935 00:38:45.580 --> 00:38:47.100 Yep, roaring success. I'm pretty sure the website. 936 00:38:47.100 --> 00:38:49.080 Web page is still up, probably. We are, 937 00:38:49.080 --> 00:38:52.200 we are confident that they've been wiped out. 938 00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:53.440 And it was like, oh, no, they got 939 00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:55.160 it back. And it happens to be at 940 00:38:55.160 --> 00:38:59.060 this, like, fucking Mount Doom over here. Like, 941 00:38:59.060 --> 00:39:03.160 I don't know. Like, there's, they're just, be 942 00:39:03.160 --> 00:39:05.820 careful, guys. Now, I don't think you need 943 00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:07.900 to be freaking out right now, but I 944 00:39:07.900 --> 00:39:11.880 will also say, like, personally, I have a 945 00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:14.160 supply of unperishable food that will last my 946 00:39:14.160 --> 00:39:16.440 family a pretty long time. I think that's 947 00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:19.640 a prudent choice to make. I don't think 948 00:39:19.640 --> 00:39:22.800 it hurts you to do that. Like, worst 949 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.300 -case scenario, you know, the spam's about to 950 00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:27.600 expire in 10 years, and you got to 951 00:39:27.600 --> 00:39:30.060 have a big old spam party, right? you 952 00:39:30.060 --> 00:39:33.420 know, core V45 or something, whatever you want 953 00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:35.360 to call it. This is a little double, 954 00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:38.580 double joke there. The point is, you can 955 00:39:38.580 --> 00:39:41.220 prepare yourself, and you can prepare your family, 956 00:39:41.220 --> 00:39:42.000 and you can make sure that as a 957 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:43.600 provider, you are doing what you need to 958 00:39:43.600 --> 00:39:44.860 do to make sure you have insured your 959 00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:47.040 family's safety and well -being. But at the 960 00:39:47.040 --> 00:39:49.500 same time, you don't have to be panicking 961 00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:52.060 about this stuff, and you should view all 962 00:39:52.060 --> 00:39:54.520 of this with a grain of salt, and 963 00:39:54.520 --> 00:39:58.560 understand that there are incredible amounts of, all 964 00:39:58.560 --> 00:40:00.640 the the kfabry and the fuckery right now 965 00:40:00.640 --> 00:40:03.140 is off the charts everybody is trying to 966 00:40:03.140 --> 00:40:05.440 get somebody else to do something stupid that's 967 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.840 the game the game is make someone else 968 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.320 do something stupid so that you are the 969 00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.980 justified one as the nation state in whatever 970 00:40:11.980 --> 00:40:15.580 retaliatory actions you choose to pursue end of 971 00:40:15.580 --> 00:40:18.320 mini rant no i love a walker and 972 00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:19.940 mediums is a good size rant it's good 973 00:40:19.940

--> 00:40:21.720 size rant uh no the thing that like 974 00:40:21.720 --> 00:40:22.700 with this one that really jumped out at 975 00:40:22.700 --> 00:40:23.940 me is again to hit a brand's point 976 00:40:23.940 --> 00:40:25.260 is like i have no idea what kind 977 00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:27.300 of angle somebody's playing but somebody's playing an 978 00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:28.920 angle here. Like, you could put this out 979 00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:30.000 there just to test whether or not the 980 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.360 American public is receptive to even escalation. Like, 981 00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:33.620 would you be okay if we escalated a 982 00:40:33.620 --> 00:40:35.280 little? Can I pace and lead a little 983 00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:36.200 bit? Okay, we're not going to do a 984 00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:37.880 nuke, but I got to get through this 985 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:39.160 granite mountain, so I'm going to have to 986 00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:40.340 put some boots on the ground or whatever 987 00:40:40.340 --> 00:40:42.780 it might be. We've also got Netanyahu's government 988 00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:44.520 as a minority position right now and they're 989 00:40:44.520 --> 00:40:46.420 looking at a coalition against him. Like, he's 990 00:40:46.420 --> 00:40:47.740 not in a good spot. The latest I've 991 00:40:47.740 --> 00:40:48.960 seen on polling for the midterms, which is 992 00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:50.460 kind of expected is not looking great for 993 00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:52.620 the Republicans. I worry about what they're going 994 00:40:52.620 --> 00:40:54.480 to necessarily do if they might escalate before 995 00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:56.640 that January 3rd kind of changeover after the 996 00:40:56.640 --> 00:40:58.780 midterms. All I know is that I just 997 00:40:58.780 --> 00:41:01.100 feel like I'm outrageously being played. And Walker, 998 00:41:01.100 --> 00:41:02.800 to your point, like, be prepared for all 999 00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:06.280 scenarios. I would 100 % believe that Tucker 1000 00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:09.540 got credible information saying that they were requesting 1001 00:41:09.540 --> 00:41:12.180 a nuclear or an escalation in Iran. I 1002 00:41:12.180 --> 00:41:13.760 would 100 % believe that. That makes sense 1003 00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:15.840 to me. Could that information have been planted 1004 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:17.440 there? Totally could have. Does it mean that 1005 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:19.980 they're going to? No, it necessarily doesn't. But 1006 00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:21.860 it's a non -zero chance. And at least 1007 00:41:21.860 --> 00:41:23.020 I hope that there's at least enough of 1008 00:41:23.020 --> 00:41:25.720 a public response that they go, okay, we 1009 00:41:25.720 --> 00:41:27.580 can't push it that far. Even if that 1010 00:41:27.580 --> 00:41:29.040 was the purpose the whole time, I don't 1011 00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:30.560 care. I just want to make sure that 1012 00:41:30.560 --> 00:41:32.680 that's not necessarily on the table. But I 1013 00:41:32.680 --> 00:41:34.320 fully believe that what I believe that Israel 1014 00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:35.840 is asking for it, yeah, I would. I 1015 00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:37.580 don't know why they wouldn't, especially if they're 1016 00:41:37.580 --> 00:41:38.920 not necessarily in a great position, and they 1017 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:41.120 want this to end. And realistically, like, the 1018 00:41:41.120 --> 00:41:42.380 part that if I'm most terrifying is that 1019 00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:43.880 how long it's gone on right now is 1020 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.340 what is the ultimate outcome? Like, can there 1021 00:41:47.340 --> 00:41:48.720 still be negotiating at this point in time, 1022 00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:49.960 or does they just have to keep escalating 1023 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:51.780 in one way or another or just bleeding 1024 00:41:51.780 --> 00:41:54.160 each other dry until someone relents? But either 1025 00:41:54.160 --> 00:41:56.360 way, I believe that the information was there. 1026 00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:58.120 I have no idea about the credibility or 1027 00:41:58.120 --> 00:42:00.100 the purpose of why it was necessarily there. 1028 00:42:00.100 --> 00:42:03.460 But, Joey, your thoughts? Maybe just quick, as 1029 00:42:03.460 --> 00:42:04.980 an aside to all this, you know, good 1030 00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:08.720 discussion we're having. Tolkien has this, Lord of 1031 00:42:08.720 --> 00:42:10.600 the Rings author, has this, like, theory of 1032 00:42:10.600 --> 00:42:15.460 information versus wisdom. And, you know, if you 1033 00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:19.000 look at what's happening in modern society, whether 1034 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:21.520 it's about wars or economics or politics or 1035 00:42:21.520 --> 00:42:23.680 some combination of the three, a lot of 1036 00:42:23.680 --> 00:42:25.640 people are taking in a lot of information 1037 00:42:25.640 --> 00:42:29.540 and confusing it with gaining wisdom. And they're 1038 00:42:29.540 --> 00:42:32.220 actually not gaining wisdom. What they're doing is 1039 00:42:32.220 --> 00:42:35.340 taking in, you know, facts. And those facts, 1040 00:42:35.340 --> 00:42:38.260 you know, they upset you. They make you 1041 00:42:38.260 --> 00:42:40.920 happy. They force you to go to Twitter 1042 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:43.620 to talk or Instagram to post or podcast 1043 00:42:43.620 --> 00:42:45.820 with, you know, for your retard friends. And, 1044 00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:47.900 you know, you hop on Monday, Wednesday, and 1045 00:42:47.900 --> 00:42:49.580 Friday. I'm the one that's not a retard. 1046 00:42:49.580 --> 00:42:52.880 Yeah. So, like, you're like, you're like, and 1047 00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.620 apparently can't count. You're doing, I said, you 1048 00:42:55.620 --> 00:42:56.980 can't. It forces you to hop on with 1049 00:42:56.980 --> 00:42:58.680 four your friends. Anyway, that's five altogether. So 1050

00:42:58.680 --> 00:43:00.540 the thing is that I think a lot 1051 00:43:00.540 --> 00:43:02.920 of people don't, they can't draw this distinction 1052 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:08.000 between knowing more and becoming more wise about 1053 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.040 the situation they're in and about the environment 1054 00:43:10.040 --> 00:43:12.760 they're in. And I think that for a 1055 00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:14.680 lot of people, that's a difficult thing to 1056 00:43:14.680 --> 00:43:18.140 handle when the information diet is, you know, 1057 00:43:18.140 --> 00:43:19.920 even when it's restricted, even when you're not 1058 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.320 just constantly scrolling, constantly watching, constantly listening, constantly 1059 00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:26.820 talking. But the information diet is anything but 1060 00:43:26.820 --> 00:43:30.920 restricted now, okay? We are overloaded with stuff. 1061 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:31.960 And, you know, we see it in the 1062 00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:33.340 show notes. We see it in our own 1063 00:43:33.340 --> 00:43:35.080 podcast. We see it in our own lives. 1064 00:43:35.080 --> 00:43:36.580 And you, you know, I think for us, 1065 00:43:36.580 --> 00:43:38.700 I do think for Bitcoin, just particularly difficult 1066 00:43:38.700 --> 00:43:42.380 because to exist in 2026 as a, you 1067 00:43:42.380 --> 00:43:45.260 know, mid -late 30s father, you got kids, 1068 00:43:45.260 --> 00:43:46.740 you got friends, you actually have to have 1069 00:43:46.740 --> 00:43:48.300 to have like both things sorted out. You 1070 00:43:48.300 --> 00:43:50.720 have to have the normy things sorted out. 1071 00:43:50.720 --> 00:43:51.780 And then you have to have this dividing 1072 00:43:51.780 --> 00:43:53.520 wall and the not -so -normy things on 1073 00:43:53.520 --> 00:43:54.740 the other side. So you can go between 1074 00:43:54.740 --> 00:43:57.860 this world and that world and sort of 1075 00:43:57.860 --> 00:44:00.040 exist in both. And it becomes more more 1076 00:44:00.040 --> 00:44:02.740 difficult for even for us. But man, for 1077 00:44:02.740 --> 00:44:04.540 a lot of the voting public, just to 1078 00:44:04.540 --> 00:44:05.980 put a lid on it or put a 1079 00:44:05.980 --> 00:44:09.360 bow on it, it's an impossible task to 1080 00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:12.420 process all this information and actually do something 1081 00:44:12.420 --> 00:44:13.940 with it. And so what you end up 1082 00:44:13.940 --> 00:44:17.580 having is conversations with people who have no 1083 00:44:17.580 --> 00:44:19.480 original thoughts and just say the last thing 1084 00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.060 they heard on TV. What you end up 1085 00:44:22.060 --> 00:44:23.720 with is, you end up with is, you 1086 00:44:23.720 --> 00:44:25.360 know, you know, these discussions where people actually 1087 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:27.540 have not been able to, like, synthesize information 1088 00:44:27.540 --> 00:44:29.820 to create something

new. And it's not necessarily 1089 00:44:29.820 --> 00:44:32.600 all their fault. They don't realize that, you 1090 00:44:32.600 --> 00:44:35.800 know, unlike in a, you know, to use 1091 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:37.220 a Tolkien example, if you read Lord of 1092 00:44:37.220 --> 00:44:39.040 the Rings, you know, it's maybe like a 1093 00:44:39.040 --> 00:44:41.880 Christian theme book, like there's a Christlike figure 1094 00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:43.300 in all these books that he wrote, but 1095 00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:45.720 there's no allegory there. You know, meanwhile, when 1096 00:44:45.720 --> 00:44:47.880 you look at the news, it's like there's 1097 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:50.920 no room for wiggling. The facts are the 1098 00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:52.040 facts. The thing that was said to you 1099 00:44:52.040 --> 00:44:53.040 is the thing that was said to you. 1100 00:44:53.040 --> 00:44:55.000 And that's the limit. of the opinion you 1101 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.020 form and the conversation you have next about 1102 00:44:57.020 --> 00:44:59.360 that topic. And it's really become this thing 1103 00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:01.860 where just no one has any agency in 1104 00:45:01.860 --> 00:45:05.120 their own mind anymore. And I'm curious, you 1105 00:45:05.120 --> 00:45:09.360 know, about how how the average person comes 1106 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:10.700 out of this over the next years. It 1107 00:45:10.700 --> 00:45:12.580 started during COVID when everybody was inside on 1108 00:45:12.580 --> 00:45:14.700 their phones all day and it's just accelerated 1109 00:45:14.700 --> 00:45:17.860 since then for sure. And it's not leaving 1110 00:45:17.860 --> 00:45:19.140 us in a good place. We talk about 1111 00:45:19.140 --> 00:45:20.400 it a little bit from time to time, 1112 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.240 but it's good to remember that, you know, 1113 00:45:22.240 --> 00:45:23.600 the ability that you might have to send 1114 00:45:23.600 --> 00:45:26.060 the information and formulate your own opinion, it's 1115 00:45:26.060 --> 00:45:28.720 just lost on so many people in your 1116 00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:31.520 life, and they don't even know it. It's 1117 00:45:31.520 --> 00:45:36.460 very difficult to overcome. Yeah. Nathan is dipping 1118 00:45:36.460 --> 00:45:39.240 out. He's got family stuff to go, but... 1119 00:45:39.240 --> 00:45:41.900 Now I can start ranting. Now the dad's 1120 00:45:41.900 --> 00:45:45.960 on. That guy. Speaking, it was just brought 1121 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:47.960 up with the midterms. I did want to 1122 00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:53.000 bring up a couple a couple visuals here. 1123 00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:56.680 So, uh, Walter Bloomberg, Democratic sweep at 73 1124 00:45:56.680 --> 00:46:00.940 % Walter braces for midterms, prediction markets price, 1125 00:46:00.940 --> 00:46:04.540 a 73 % chance. Democrats take both chambers 1126 00:46:04.540 --> 00:46:08.460 versus 5 .8 % for a Republican sweep. 1127 00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:12.280 Uh, we also have this from the, the 1128 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:16.440 times, and this looking at, uh, seven states 1129 00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:20.340 where, uh, uh, likely, is to decide the 1130 00:46:20.340 --> 00:46:22.920 Senate. So Michigan, I mean, there's a huge 1131 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.700 gap there, but the other ones, Texas, Maine, 1132 00:46:25.700 --> 00:46:31.320 Ohio, Kansas, Alaska, Alaska, Iowa, Texas, damn, damn, 1133 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:33.960 guys. Uh, I don't know, I want to, 1134 00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:37.720 we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, Brandon, I want 1135 00:46:37.720 --> 00:46:39.060 to, I want to, I want to, I 1136 00:46:39.060 --> 00:46:40.540 want to, I want to hear, Brandon, your, 1137 00:46:40.540 --> 00:46:45.220 your, your, there might be some, uh, it's 1138 00:46:45.220 --> 00:46:47.040 like the last, yeah, the last 10, 15 1139 00:46:47.040 --> 00:46:48.600 years, though. I mean, again, we've seen, like, 1140 00:46:48.600 --> 00:46:49.720 the polls are there to, to, create a 1141 00:46:49.720 --> 00:46:51.820 narrative, like, I, you know, I, you know, 1142 00:46:51.820 --> 00:46:54.380 and then especially Kelchie, Polymarket, all these, I 1143 00:46:54.380 --> 00:46:55.820 mean, they're just, I don't know if they're 1144 00:46:55.820 --> 00:46:57.780 run right out of Burger King, like, right 1145 00:46:57.780 --> 00:46:59.480 out of the regional CIA office, Burger King 1146 00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:00.840 down the road here, or like, how, how 1147 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:02.240 they run these things or who, where the 1148 00:47:02.240 --> 00:47:04.300 headquarters is of Cal She or Polymarket, but 1149 00:47:04.300 --> 00:47:07.180 I don't know. I mean, I just, I, 1150 00:47:07.180 --> 00:47:08.840 I, I, they've been wrong over and over 1151 00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:10.780 and over again, not to say that the, 1152 00:47:10.780 --> 00:47:12.700 the Democrats couldn't win one, how, or one 1153 00:47:12.700 --> 00:47:15.040 chamber or both or something like that, but, 1154 00:47:15.040 --> 00:47:16.100 you know, then you go back to, like 1155 00:47:16.100 --> 00:47:18.160 Trump, why would, why would he do this? 1156 00:47:18.160 --> 00:47:19.100 And, you know, some can say, like, he 1157 00:47:19.100 --> 00:47:20.100 made a deal with the devil. He wants 1158 00:47:20.100 --> 00:47:21.000 to be president. And so he made a 1159 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:22.200 deal and then he's going to win and 1160 00:47:22.200 --> 00:47:23.480 then he's going to lose midterms and are 1161 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.680 going to, you know, sure, you know, maybe. 1162 00:47:25.680 --> 00:47:27.160 I just, again, that's why I go back 1163 00:47:27.160 --> 00:47:28.620 to the American system and everything that's been 1164 00:47:28.620 --> 00:47:30.040 exposed. You look at some of the people 1165 00:47:30.040 --> 00:47:31.560 that have grown the most this year, just 1166 00:47:31.560 --> 00:47:33.540 in the political space of

like the Susan 1167 00:47:33.540 --> 00:47:35.760 Kokinda, Barbara Boyd, Marty had her on a 1168 00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:37.800 couple times. Some of their biggest episodes on 1169 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:41.920 TFTC are interviewing Susan Kokenda and Barbara Boyd. 1170 00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:43.420 There's a reason for that. These ladies are 1171 00:47:43.420 --> 00:47:45.460 whatever in their 70s, 80s, and they've been 1172 00:47:45.460 --> 00:47:46.980 talking about the American system for decades. And 1173 00:47:46.980 --> 00:47:48.600 only now is, it's funny. Like you talk 1174 00:47:48.600 --> 00:47:50.020 about truth you talk about something and then 1175 00:47:50.020 --> 00:47:52.540 eventually society comes around to finally grab you 1176 00:47:52.540 --> 00:47:54.300 know they can actually grasp going back to 1177 00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:56.160 Joey's point think about how much we look 1178 00:47:56.160 --> 00:47:57.720 at our youtube's right we all have YouTube 1179 00:47:57.720 --> 00:47:59.860 channels and how much of it's browsing history 1180 00:47:59.860 --> 00:48:01.560 and this goes for us too like when 1181 00:48:01.560 --> 00:48:03.620 we're browsing on Twitter and how much that 1182 00:48:03.620 --> 00:48:05.840 is curated for us and all these subliminal 1183 00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:07.740 things are put into your narrative to change 1184 00:48:07.740 --> 00:48:09.280 you know hiding in plain sight change how 1185 00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:10.960 you think as a person this is why 1186 00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:12.420 the Intel briefing I was bringing up is 1187 00:48:12.420 --> 00:48:14.220 so important you have to we're at an 1188 00:48:14.220 --> 00:48:15.420 age where we have the tools to do 1189 00:48:15.420 --> 00:48:17.860 it very easily and pretty quickly where you 1190 00:48:17.860 --> 00:48:19.940 can you have to curate your own algorithm. 1191 00:48:19.940 --> 00:48:21.640 You have to curate your own frame for 1192 00:48:21.640 --> 00:48:23.840 what's going on because you know what you're 1193 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:25.860 looking for and what's happening. And a lot 1194 00:48:25.860 --> 00:48:26.920 of it, the world is just your frame 1195 00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:29.840 of reference. And then the frame, the lens 1196 00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.600 you put on everything, you got to be 1197 00:48:31.600 --> 00:48:33.580 very careful and guard that, the paradigm of 1198 00:48:33.580 --> 00:48:35.940 your mind. And we just don't have that 1199 00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:37.540 anymore because so much of it is just, 1200 00:48:37.540 --> 00:48:38.600 we just let the algorithm do it. We 1201 00:48:38.600 --> 00:48:40.820 let Google, Sergey Brin do it. We just 1202 00:48:40.820 --> 00:48:42.500 let those guys handle it. And we outsource 1203 00:48:42.500 --> 00:48:44.240 our thinking, our critical thinking and all this. 1204 00:48:44.240 --> 00:48:46.060 And I just don't think any of us 1205 00:48:46.060 --> 00:48:48.440 really account for how damaging it is. Then 1206 00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:51.060 you layer on top of the lack of 1207 00:48:51.060 --> 00:48:52.660 history, which I think we talked about the 1208 00:48:52.660 --> 00:48:53.880 other day of, you know, history is faker 1209 00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:56.540 than the news, but just any, any, any 1210 00:48:56.540 --> 00:48:57.820 history at all. I mean, we've talked about 1211 00:48:57.820 --> 00:48:59.240 this again as well. The American system has 1212 00:48:59.240 --> 00:49:02.520 taught zero minutes in government -run American schooling. 1213 00:49:02.520 --> 00:49:04.160 Zero minutes. You would think we would learn 1214 00:49:04.160 --> 00:49:05.560 about how our country has founded and how 1215 00:49:05.560 --> 00:49:08.060 these guys wanted to operate things, the economic 1216 00:49:08.060 --> 00:49:10.840 system, except we have now this, the fake 1217 00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:13.340 prison of two ideas of unfettered capitalism where 1218 00:49:13.340 --> 00:49:15.000 the British East India Company gets to run 1219 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.020 roughshot over you, and they call it capitalism 1220 00:49:17.020 --> 00:49:19.040 and free markets and whatever. nonsense, and then 1221 00:49:19.040 --> 00:49:21.380 you have communism. Those, that's the fake prison 1222 00:49:21.380 --> 00:49:23.780 of two ideas, which has basically become red 1223 00:49:23.780 --> 00:49:25.720 versus blue, which Walker has, you know, said 1224 00:49:25.720 --> 00:49:27.140 for years, right? There's not red versus blue 1225 00:49:27.140 --> 00:49:28.580 is the state versus you. And that's what 1226 00:49:28.580 --> 00:49:29.940 it is. They have you going back and 1227 00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:33.100 forth between Republicans and Democrats, which basically occupy 1228 00:49:33.100 --> 00:49:35.420 those two spots, this unfettered capitalism where the 1229 00:49:35.420 --> 00:49:38.060 globalist imperialists get to run rush out over 1230 00:49:38.060 --> 00:49:40.100 you and asset strip the earth. And then 1231 00:49:40.100 --> 00:49:42.780 there's the, the communism side. So take your 1232 00:49:42.780 --> 00:49:44.320 pick. You know, the Pope in the late 1233 00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:46.940 1800s talked about this exact thing. The founding 1234 00:49:46.940 --> 00:49:47.100 fathers talked about these exact thing. The founding 1235 00:49:47.100 --> 00:49:49.460 fathers talked about these. exact things, wrote about 1236 00:49:49.460 --> 00:49:51.540 this a ton. This is not a new 1237 00:49:51.540 --> 00:49:54.420 thing. And so we're just now being, people 1238 00:49:54.420 --> 00:49:55.940 are coming back to the Susan Co -Kennandez 1239 00:49:55.940 --> 00:49:58.180 and Barbara Boyds of what's happening here. And 1240 00:49:58.180 --> 00:50:00.920 this is, this is the time of enlightenment 1241 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:02.620 of going forward and the toothpaste out of 1242 00:50:02.620 --> 00:50:03.600 the tube. So to me, it's not even 1243

00:50:03.600 --> 00:50:05.660 about this election. It's about what's been exposed 1244 00:50:05.660 --> 00:50:07.360 now and what we have to run with 1245 00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:11.020 going forward. Damn. I'd like to thank Brennan 1246 00:50:11.020 --> 00:50:13.100 for crediting me with there is no red, 1247 00:50:13.100 --> 00:50:14.100 there is no blue, there is the state, 1248 00:50:14.100 --> 00:50:14.920 and there is you. Because a lot of 1249 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:16.800 people from the intro to the show just 1250 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:18.500 may have been confused and It's in the 1251 00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:20.220 chat. The Ben came up with. I don't 1252 00:50:20.220 --> 00:50:23.760 know. I blame the editor. I blame Daniel. 1253 00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:28.540 Yeah. That's, that's, yeah, the editor. America. Walker, 1254 00:50:28.540 --> 00:50:30.660 as a, as a, uh, uh, uh, Wait, 1255 00:50:30.660 --> 00:50:33.640 aren't your colors flipped also? What? Or what? 1256 00:50:33.640 --> 00:50:35.700 You guys are flipped colors, right? Like, your 1257 00:50:35.700 --> 00:50:37.780 blues are the conservatives, your reds or the 1258 00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:40.740 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. So 1259 00:50:40.740 --> 00:50:42.920 I, yeah, honestly, makes it more apt in, 1260 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:45.280 in a way. Yeah, I, uh, I told 1261 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.760 the editor, make a fire intro for the 1262 00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:49.460 show. So I guess it's a compliment that 1263 00:50:49.460 --> 00:50:54.160 your quote is so incredible. By someone else. 1264 00:50:54.160 --> 00:50:56.500 It looks really good under by someone else. 1265 00:50:56.500 --> 00:50:58.740 I do want. Wayne Gretzky, Michael, Michael Scott, 1266 00:50:58.740 --> 00:50:59.960 you know, that kind of vibe. We need 1267 00:50:59.960 --> 00:51:01.880 to see, I think like the Barbara Cook, 1268 00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:04.180 or the, uh, Kukinda and Barbara Boyd thing. 1269 00:51:04.180 --> 00:51:06.500 Like, I don't think I'll be sold on 1270 00:51:06.500 --> 00:51:08.140 enough people having seen these guys until one 1271 00:51:08.140 --> 00:51:09.980 of them is on call her daddy. Like, 1272 00:51:09.980 --> 00:51:12.020 that's, that's the, that's the landmark. We got 1273 00:51:12.020 --> 00:51:15.020 to get Alex Cooper and Barbara Boyd on 1274 00:51:15.020 --> 00:51:18.040 the same podcast. I know. They're everywhere, though. 1275 00:51:18.040 --> 00:51:20.760 And so they're the biggest growers I've seen 1276 00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:23.060 in the macro. And it's exploded. I mean, 1277 00:51:23.060 --> 00:51:25.480 they have off -shy channels, everything yet, but, 1278 00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:28.600 you know. It's crazy. I mean, it's wild. 1279 00:51:28.600 --> 00:51:30.340 So yeah, she was just on Kitko, one 1280 00:51:30.340 --> 00:51:31.960 of them. And everywhere I look, there's a 1281 00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:33.680 new video of her on a new channel. 1282

00:51:33.680 --> 00:51:35.300 I'm like, holy cow. So what does that 1283 00:51:35.300 --> 00:51:37.020 tell you? That tells you that there is 1284 00:51:37.020 --> 00:51:39.040 like some understanding of this idea that you 1285 00:51:39.040 --> 00:51:42.240 can actually, that's right. You can actually learn 1286 00:51:42.240 --> 00:51:45.000 something over time. it's not just about like, 1287 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.420 you know, pretty face and, uh, correct. And, 1288 00:51:47.420 --> 00:51:50.660 uh, you know, ADD intro, no insults to 1289 00:51:50.660 --> 00:51:52.500 present company, obviously, but like, we all do 1290 00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:54.680 it. And it turns out that if you're, 1291 00:51:54.680 --> 00:51:56.300 if you have like this base of knowledge, 1292 00:51:56.300 --> 00:51:58.240 there's value there, you just have to find 1293 00:51:58.240 --> 00:51:59.660 a way to get it out there. And 1294 00:51:59.660 --> 00:52:01.600 thankfully, these guys have both done it. Yep. 1295 00:52:01.600 --> 00:52:03.520 Yep. I wanted to throw in one other 1296 00:52:03.520 --> 00:52:07.700 thing, uh, which to me, I don't, I 1297 00:52:07.700 --> 00:52:12.100 don't know, um, how successful this is going 1298 00:52:12.100 --> 00:52:13.460 to be and like how much of a 1299 00:52:13.460 --> 00:52:15.900 real issue it is. Uh, but it is 1300 00:52:15.900 --> 00:52:17.900 from a place that I've actually been looking 1301 00:52:17.900 --> 00:52:20.940 to in the world that I would consider 1302 00:52:20.940 --> 00:52:23.220 things are going right. And Joey, I think 1303 00:52:23.220 --> 00:52:25.120 it's probably you, uh, you've heard you say 1304 00:52:25.120 --> 00:52:27.960 it's basically your bug out location of choice. 1305 00:52:27.960 --> 00:52:30.440 Where is it? Uh, but uh, go back. 1306 00:52:30.440 --> 00:53:17.300 No, this is. Oh, hungry. last name? Milwaukee, 1307 00:53:17.300 --> 00:53:20.660 probably.! take all of our overflow. I mean, 1308 00:53:20.660 --> 00:53:21.440 that's what they're going to do. Listen, this 1309 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.980 is, aren't they the control group, Hungary and 1310 00:53:23.980 --> 00:53:26.720 Poland, right? The same way that, you know, 1311 00:53:26.720 --> 00:53:28.960 certain, I won't say the names of the 1312 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:30.880 companies, but tried to eliminate or tried to 1313 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:32.700 remove the control group from the issue they 1314 00:53:32.700 --> 00:53:36.080 were having with the vaccines years ago. Yeah. 1315 00:53:36.080 --> 00:53:37.540 You know, like, the fact of the matter 1316 00:53:37.540 --> 00:53:40.940 is if life is so much better in 1317 00:53:40.940 --> 00:53:42.920 places where doctors and engineers are not coming 1318 00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:45.040 over in rubber boats and you don't have 1319 00:53:45.040 --> 00:53:47.660 crime and you have social cohesion, how many. 1320 00:53:47.660 --> 00:53:50.200 trick -or -treating videos where they're from Hungary 1321 00:53:50.200 --> 00:53:52.000 of people taking all the fucking candy off 1322 00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:53.420 the porch. My guess is very few, if 1323 00:53:53.420 --> 00:53:54.820 any, and there's a reason for that because 1324 00:53:54.820 --> 00:53:57.580 social cohesion and unspoken tradition are the things 1325 00:53:57.580 --> 00:54:00.380 that hold the society together. And those countries 1326 00:54:00.380 --> 00:54:03.100 got it in spades. And they don't want 1327 00:54:03.100 --> 00:54:04.200 to give it up. Good for them. They 1328 00:54:04.200 --> 00:54:06.160 don't care about your GDP. They don't care 1329 00:54:06.160 --> 00:54:09.400 about your, you know, we need more workers. 1330 00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:10.540 They don't give a shit. They don't give 1331 00:54:10.540 --> 00:54:13.160 a shit about the Century Initiative. And Tusk, 1332 00:54:13.160 --> 00:54:15.400 to your point, is a EU plant. Yeah. 1333 00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:18.780 Um, you know, Hungary, Hungary is going potentially 1334 00:54:18.780 --> 00:54:20.620 a similar way. They just selected a guy 1335 00:54:20.620 --> 00:54:23.420 not long ago, too, um, who's, you know, 1336 00:54:23.420 --> 00:54:25.580 a fan of all these, maybe anyways, a 1337 00:54:25.580 --> 00:54:27.340 fan of these policies. He's not, you know, 1338 00:54:27.340 --> 00:54:29.840 hard edge against like, um, God, I can't 1339 00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:31.960 remember the last guy's name, uh, in Hungary. 1340 00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:34.680 But anyway, these things are going to continue 1341 00:54:34.680 --> 00:54:36.880 to ramp up because, man, if the four 1342 00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:39.400 of us are on YouTube every, you know, 1343 00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:41.440 a couple of days for five -figure viewer 1344 00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:43.980 count saying, by the way, you may not 1345 00:54:43.980 --> 00:54:45.400 like it in Toronto, but have you seen? 1346 00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:48.380 in Warsaw? Have you considered Budapest? Have you 1347 00:54:48.380 --> 00:54:51.160 considered like, fuck even Estonia? They could go 1348 00:54:51.160 --> 00:54:53.160 to Estonia and see some of these places. 1349 00:54:53.160 --> 00:54:56.100 Like, Tallinn is not having these problems, okay? 1350 00:54:56.100 --> 00:54:59.020 This is a, this is, it's a single, 1351 00:54:59.020 --> 00:55:00.920 what does that mean? Like, fix everything easily 1352 00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.200 switch and everyone's just like, whoa, don't be 1353 00:55:03.200 --> 00:55:04.740 so extreme. We never talk about the switch 1354 00:55:04.740 --> 00:55:07.300 here. We don't, we don't deal in switches. 1355 00:55:07.300 --> 00:55:08.540 I got, I got to throw in one 1356 00:55:08.540 --> 00:55:11.480 quick thing for Walker here.

You spent 1422 00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:17.400 any time there, which I have, you will 1423 00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:20.320 know they're a very based people, a very 1424 00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:23.960 proud and patriotic people, extremely so. They love 1425 00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:26.560 their country. They love their cultural heritage, and 1426 00:58:26.560 --> 00:58:30.400 they should. They've got an incredibly rich history. 1427 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:33.280 They've been through the fucking meat grinder, and 1428 00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:35.180 they came out, and they may still have 1429 00:58:35.180 --> 00:58:37.640 their problems like every fucking country does, but 1430 00:58:37.640 --> 00:58:40.220 they're a proud people who wants their nation 1431 00:58:40.220 --> 00:58:43.040 to be great and who is prideful of 1432 00:58:43.040 --> 00:58:47.380 their nation. But their holdouts. Romania was supposed 1433 00:58:47.380 --> 00:58:50.480 to switch to the euro in, I believe, 1434 00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:52.320 could be wrong. Nathan looked this up, like 1435 00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.880 2017, maybe earlier actually, could be like 2014. 1436 00:58:55.880 -->

00:58:57.760 They keep putting it off, putting it off. 1437 00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:00.100 Why? Same reason Poland, same reason hungry. They 1438 00:59:00.100 --> 00:59:04.340 want monetary autonomy. They want to retain the 1439 00:59:04.340 --> 00:59:08.520 power of the printing press, as they should. 1440 00:59:08.520 --> 00:59:11.080 He saw what happened in Greece. Like, Greece 1441 00:59:11.080 --> 00:59:13.600 switched to the Euro and like, what happened? 1442 00:59:13.600 --> 00:59:15.720 there, I don't know if some of you, 1443 00:59:15.720 --> 00:59:17.700 let's be honest, you're, you're all old enough 1444 00:59:17.700 --> 00:59:18.960 to remember it if you're, if you're listening 1445 00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:20.400 to this show. I don't think we have 1446 00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:23.180 a lot of zoomers in here, but like, 1447 00:59:23.180 --> 00:59:26.640 Greece ran it's in trouble. If you, like, 1448 00:59:26.640 --> 00:59:28.660 the easiest way for the EU to get 1449 00:59:28.660 --> 00:59:30.840 their boot firmly on your neck is to 1450 00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:32.840 make sure that you are subservient to them 1451 00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:36.380 monetarily. These nations, who have been able to 1452 00:59:36.380 --> 00:59:40.700 resist the fucking woke mind virus of infinite 1453 00:59:40.700 --> 00:59:44.160 doctors and engineers invading their borders, happen to 1454 00:59:44.160 --> 00:59:47.640 be the ones that have monetary autonomy. The 1455 00:59:47.640 --> 00:59:51.080 goal is to get these countries, and maybe 1456 00:59:51.080 --> 00:59:53.760 I'm wrong, I'm not a geopolitical strategist. I'm 1457 00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:56.580 just telling this based on personal experience, based 1458 00:59:56.580 --> 00:59:58.400 on the knowledge that I have, based on 1459 00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:01.040 the information that I've studied, it seems that 1460 01:00:01.040 --> 01:00:03.240 the play. If you want to control a 1461 01:00:03.240 --> 01:00:06.140 country, you first control its money. There's a 1462 01:00:06.140 --> 01:00:08.820 fucking Rothschild quote about this, I'm pretty sure. 1463 01:00:08.820 --> 01:00:10.960 Like, I don't know, Nathan, look this up, 1464 01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:13.040 please.

There is no European 1483 01:00:56.080 --> 01:00:58.960 identity. There is no, like, EU identity. This 1484 01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.280 doesn't exist. They're not like, no, nobody from 1485 01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:03.680 any of these fucking countries is like, I'm 1486 01:01:03.680 --> 01:01:07.220 a European. It's like, no, I'm fucking Romanian. 1487 01:01:07.220 --> 01:01:13.060 I'm Polish. I'm Hungarian, right? Like, the goal 1488 01:01:13.060 --> 01:01:18.100 is to, Like, a race national, true nationalism 1489 01:01:18.100 --> 01:01:19.820 and true, and I say that in a 1490 01:01:19.820 --> 01:01:21.540 positive connotation. I know it has some negative 1491 01:01:21.540 --> 01:01:24.660 ones. It goes to erase nationalism, erase patriotism 1492 01:01:24.660 --> 01:01:27.080 within these countries. And the first step in 1493 01:01:27.080 --> 01:01:28.200 doing that is make sure you have them 1494 01:01:28.200 --> 01:01:30.600 by the balls by controlling their money. So 1495 01:01:30.600 --> 01:01:32.840 much of this, money is upstream of so 1496 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:36.400 many things. It's worthwhile keeping that in mind 1497 01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:38.320 when you look at these things. End of 1498 01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:43.600 medium to long -sized rant.

Titanium doesn't 1545 01:03:27.020 --> 01:03:28.840 care. One salt piece, nothing to come apart 1546 01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:30.580 that you hammer in. Buy the stamp seed 1547 01:03:30.580 --> 01:03:31.640 kit and as your set evolves, you just 1548 01:03:31.640 --> 01:03:33.380 grab more plates. Stamp it once and never 1549 01:03:33.380 --> 01:03:35.020 worry about your backup again. And for the 1550 01:03:35.020 --> 01:03:37.140 advanced users, there's the clear

code set. Every 1551 01:03:37.140 --> 01:03:38.880 letter, number, and symbol of your full keyboard, 1552 01:03:38.880 --> 01:03:41.220 no two characters alike. your passphrase, your descriptor, 1553 01:03:41.220 --> 01:03:42.840 backed up on titanium. This is what I 1554 01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:44.720 personally use and have for years, so stop 1555 01:03:44.720 --> 01:03:46.840 leaving yourself exposed.

One company I 1560 01:03:54.660 --> 01:03:56.700 like pointing people to when they ask about 1561 01:03:56.700 --> 01:03:59.880 Bitcoin mining is abundant mines. They were founded 1562 01:03:59.880 --> 01:04:02.540 by Beau and Christine Turner after losing over 1563 01:04:02.540 --> 01:04:05.060 half a million dollars to broken promises in 1564 01:04:05.060 --> 01:04:07.380 the mining industry. And they built their hosting 1565 01:04:07.380 --> 01:04:10.100 model to remove the usual headaches. With abundant 1566 01:04:10.100 --> 01:04:12.960 mines, you own your machines and keep 100 1567 01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:15.340 % of the Bitcoin you mine.

French lawmakers voted 1580 01:04:55.160 --> 01:04:58.300 for an internet traffic tax that the makers 1581 01:04:58.300 --> 01:05:01.400 of VLC, say, would cost them more than 1582 01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:05.880 1 million euros a year. Content providers would 1583 01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:10.280 pay 0 .55 cents for every gigabund. sent 1584 01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:14.840 to French users as counted by ISPs. Its 1585 01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:19.000 socialist authors expect 10 billion euros a year. 1586 01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.560 The government opposed it, warning that about half 1587 01:05:21.560 --> 01:05:24.420 the bill would fall on smaller providers, many 1588 01:05:24.420 --> 01:05:27.480 of them French. It passed 11 votes to 1589 01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:34.900 10, with 35 of 577 deputies present. Absolutely 1590 01:05:34.900 --> 01:05:40.360 crazy. Now, DTA... That's fun. DTA6 is finally 1591 01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:44.160 coming out. And Pirate Nation tweeted out, if 1592 01:05:44.160 --> 01:05:47.340 GTA6 ends up being around 218 gigabytes as 1593 01:05:47.340 --> 01:05:51.820 expected, downloading it could cost 12 euros in 1594 01:05:51.820 --> 01:05:54.720 tax under the proposal. The tax could also 1595 01:05:54.720 --> 01:05:57.840 affect other big name downloads and streaming services 1596 01:05:57.840 --> 01:06:00.540 like Netflix and YouTube. It's not law yet. 1597 01:06:00.540 --> 01:06:02.680 The proposal still needs to pass through remaining 1598 01:06:02.680 --> 01:06:07.160 legislative processes in France. But 12 euros to 1599 01:06:07.160 --> 01:06:09.280 down, just to download the game. game that 1600 01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.640 you just purchased for probably 90 or 100. 1601 01:06:12.640 --> 01:06:17.780 Like, it's just crazy.! so this is where 1602 01:06:17.780 --> 01:06:22.580 I think that you're going to start seeing 1603 01:06:22.580 --> 01:06:24.640 things pop up that allow people to get 1604 01:06:24.640 --> 01:06:29.200 around this shit, like the current internet infrastructure. 1605 01:06:29.200 --> 01:06:31.140 So it says it would be billed as 1606 01:06:31.140 --> 01:06:35.240 dictated through IPs or as measured through the 1607 01:06:35.240 --> 01:06:39.340 IPs. And the interesting thing about that. is 1608 01:06:39.340 --> 01:06:42.460 that I was introduced to this thing called 1609 01:06:42.460 --> 01:06:45.260 Phipps over the summer. I don't know if 1610 01:06:45.260 --> 01:06:49.160 you guys have heard of this, but this 1611 01:06:49.160 --> 01:06:54.080 is Phipps .network, FIPS .network, FIPS .network, free 1612 01:06:54.080 --> 01:06:59.400 internet working peering system. Now, funny enough, that's 1613 01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:01.240 not actually what it stands for. It's for 1614 01:07:01.240 --> 01:07:08.340 fuck IPs. And underneath, any data is transatlantic. 1615 01:07:08.340 --> 01:07:12.140 transport agnostic. It can link through Bluetooth, Ethernet, 1616 01:07:12.140 --> 01:07:15.760 UDP, Tor, or Serial. Doesn't matter. The back 1617 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:21.600 end is all utilizing Noster. Wow. Wow. So 1618 01:07:21.600 --> 01:07:24.380 the demo that I saw was for like 1619 01:07:24.380 --> 01:07:29.320 a Bitcoin node implementation and linking it that 1620 01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:31.300 way. And it was literally like a QR 1621 01:07:31.300 --> 01:07:33.280 code popped up. The dude scanned it with 1622 01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:35.920 his phone. And it was like an instantaneous, 1623 01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:40.220 like, live connection. from anywhere. I haven't heard 1624 01:07:40.220 --> 01:07:43.220 about this. So this is

insane. Yeah. And 1625 01:07:43.220 --> 01:07:44.680 of course it's going to come out of 1626 01:07:44.680 --> 01:07:46.720 a bunch of Bitcoin or some. I was 1627 01:07:46.720 --> 01:07:50.000 in Madeira when I saw the demo. But 1628 01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:52.720 it's wild. And everything, like, everything that's being 1629 01:07:52.720 --> 01:07:55.320 built I'm seeing right now is like, yeah, 1630 01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:56.880 we'll just, we'll just use FIPS. We're not 1631 01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:58.460 going to fuck around with like tail scale. 1632 01:07:58.460 --> 01:07:59.540 We're not going to do any of that. 1633 01:07:59.540 --> 01:08:01.060 We're just going to use FIPS because it's 1634 01:08:01.060 --> 01:08:03.840 just so convenient and fast and easy. So 1635 01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:06.600 when I see, hey, we're going to tax 1636 01:08:06.600 --> 01:08:12.700 just data. transfer over IPs, fuck IPs. Like, 1637 01:08:12.700 --> 01:08:14.160 this is where we're headed, I think. I 1638 01:08:14.160 --> 01:08:15.180 don't know. Do you guys have any thoughts 1639 01:08:15.180 --> 01:08:17.640 on this? That's fine. I'll let somebody else 1640 01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:19.140 go, so I don't rant, even though Nathan's 1641 01:08:19.140 --> 01:08:20.700 not here, but that's fucking cool. And I 1642 01:08:20.700 --> 01:08:22.040 had not heard about that. And shout out 1643 01:08:22.040 --> 01:08:25.100 to Bitcoiners for building cool shit and for 1644 01:08:25.100 --> 01:08:27.740 Noster, perhaps not being what we thought it 1645 01:08:27.740 --> 01:08:30.280 might be as a social networking side, but 1646 01:08:30.280 --> 01:08:33.300 for being an incredible fucking tool for the 1647 01:08:33.300 --> 01:08:36.260 backbone of a new internet. That is fucking 1648 01:08:36.260 --> 01:08:38.340 amazing. That makes me just, I don't know. 1649 01:08:38.340 --> 01:08:41.500 bullish on Bitcoiners, bullish on humanity, bullish on 1650 01:08:41.500 --> 01:08:44.820 Foss. Oh, yeah. Brandon, any thoughts here before 1651 01:08:44.820 --> 01:08:47.460 we go to Joey? Yeah, it just, you 1652 01:08:47.460 --> 01:08:49.560 know, necessity is mother of all invention, right? 1653 01:08:49.560 --> 01:08:51.420 And this is, we're just getting to that 1654 01:08:51.420 --> 01:08:53.180 stage. And it sucks, too, because for whatever 1655 01:08:53.180 --> 01:08:55.400 reason, humans, like, we don't like to always 1656 01:08:55.400 --> 01:08:56.960 do this stuff when it's just like calm 1657 01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:58.780 and the waters are calm and like, okay, 1658 01:08:58.780 --> 01:08:59.540 I'm just going to like F around and 1659 01:08:59.540 --> 01:09:00.580 build a bunch of shit and like a 1660 01:09:00.580 --> 01:09:02.480 bunch of cost to myself or whatever. Like, 1661 01:09:02.480 --> 01:09:03.940 we just, oh, man, you know, there's a 1662 01:09:03.940 --> 01:09:05.800 huge storm. We should probably like start innovating 1663 01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:07.920 and like

figuring this stuff out. And, you 1664 01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:09.580 know, here we all. And it started with, 1665 01:09:09.580 --> 01:09:10.660 well, I mean, it started years ago, but 1666 01:09:10.660 --> 01:09:12.380 I mean, you have maybe some recent examples 1667 01:09:12.380 --> 01:09:13.900 of the president of the United States getting 1668 01:09:13.900 --> 01:09:15.880 kicked off of Twitter, you know, things like 1669 01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:17.860 that. And parlor going down, parlor getting taken 1670 01:09:17.860 --> 01:09:19.240 out of the app store. You know, so 1671 01:09:19.240 --> 01:09:21.000 these were real signals just in the last, 1672 01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:22.420 you know, handful of years of people, you 1673 01:09:22.420 --> 01:09:23.940 know, kind of the antenna going up and 1674 01:09:23.940 --> 01:09:26.060 you're like, oh, shit, like what's going on 1675 01:09:26.060 --> 01:09:29.040 here? And so we're seeing these innovations. And 1676 01:09:29.040 --> 01:09:31.720 they're going to happen over time. Like, again, 1677 01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:33.560 the average person, like we talked about earlier, 1678 01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:36.200 we're very desensitized to things, the browsing history, 1679 01:09:36.200 --> 01:09:38.520 kind of curating your own approach is, something 1680 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:40.380 that, again, that's bleeding edge. Not a lot 1681 01:09:40.380 --> 01:09:42.240 of people are thinking about that yet, but 1682 01:09:42.240 --> 01:09:44.720 the more of these bad events happen, whether 1683 01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:46.920 it's the COVID stuff or Dutch farmers or 1684 01:09:46.920 --> 01:09:49.520 the Canadian truckers or new events coming forward. 1685 01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:51.020 You need your nine days food storage and 1686 01:09:51.020 --> 01:09:53.060 there's grid blackouts, whatever it is. Well, guess 1687 01:09:53.060 --> 01:09:54.540 what? A lot of people learn really quick 1688 01:09:54.540 --> 01:09:56.740 what's happening and they start figuring it out. 1689 01:09:56.740 --> 01:09:58.340 And unfortunately, it's just a touch to stove, 1690 01:09:58.340 --> 01:09:59.540 pains of good teacher is where we have 1691 01:09:59.540 --> 01:10:01.320 to go with this. But because Bitcoiners are 1692 01:10:01.320 --> 01:10:03.040 building these things, which we can all do 1693 01:10:03.040 --> 01:10:05.460 now, which is unbelievable, you know, another reminder 1694 01:10:05.460 --> 01:10:07.840 that the things we can build and that, 1695 01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:08.760 you know, many of of us in the 1696 01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:10.560 chat here, many of us on the panel 1697 01:10:10.560 --> 01:10:12.700 here, we're all building things. We talk about 1698 01:10:12.700 --> 01:10:14.200 half our chat in the back chat is 1699 01:10:14.200 --> 01:10:15.760 us like building different stuff and like sending 1700 01:10:15.760 --> 01:10:17.220 stuff back and forth to, you know, to 1701 01:10:17.220 --> 01:10:18.960 each

other. Hey, this is what we built. 1702 01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:21.540 You know, this goes back to the imperialist, 1703 01:10:21.540 --> 01:10:23.300 a globalist versus the sovereignst, versus the sovereignst, 1704 01:10:23.300 --> 01:10:23.680 versus the sovereigns versus the globalist sovereign test. 1705 01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:24.600 That's the fight we're in. Are you going 1706 01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:24.820 to, are we going to build an outpace 1707 01:10:24.820 --> 01:10:26.260 that people are trying to takeers? But thanks 1708 01:10:26.260 --> 01:10:28.200 to Barbara and Susan, they've kind of coined 1709 01:10:28.200 --> 01:10:29.480 another new term on top of that, which 1710 01:10:29.480 --> 01:10:32.860 is a sovereign sovereigns versus the globalist imperialist 1711 01:10:32.860 --> 01:10:34.080 and that's the fight we're in. Are you 1712 01:10:34.080 --> 01:10:35.640 going to, are we going to build an 1713 01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:37.580 outpace that people are trying to take everything 1714 01:10:37.580 --> 01:10:40.480 and. redistribute because we have to outrun that 1715 01:10:40.480 --> 01:10:41.960 speeding train. We've got to do this and 1716 01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:43.460 build these things and have these tools available 1717 01:10:43.460 --> 01:10:44.720 for when these things do happen, which we 1718 01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:46.700 know they will. How many more signs do 1719 01:10:46.700 --> 01:10:49.000 we need that they're coming for everything? And 1720 01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:50.460 that's what the devil wants. Devil wants control. 1721 01:10:50.460 --> 01:10:52.300 He wants control of human beings. So have 1722 01:10:52.300 --> 01:10:53.820 that as your frame of reference and then 1723 01:10:53.820 --> 01:10:57.080 start working and building appropriately. Yeah, yeah, I 1724 01:10:57.080 --> 01:10:59.760 just, I'm sorry Joe to interject, but just 1725 01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:01.840 to kind of pepper in kind of a 1726 01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:05.360 yes end with this with some support. Yeah, 1727 01:11:05.360 --> 01:11:07.440 people need to, somebody's got to stand up. 1728 01:11:07.440 --> 01:11:07.980 Somebody's got to stand up. Somebody's got to 1729 01:11:07.980 --> 01:11:10.380 say no. And there's two ways to do 1730 01:11:10.380 --> 01:11:12.780 it. And both are valid, I would say. 1731 01:11:12.780 --> 01:11:14.400 One is what we're kind of seeing with 1732 01:11:14.400 --> 01:11:16.060 this, where it's like, all right, I'm going 1733 01:11:16.060 --> 01:11:18.480 to build around you. So, like, you become 1734 01:11:18.480 --> 01:11:20.700 irrelevant. But the other part of it, when 1735 01:11:20.700 --> 01:11:23.340 there's just so much red tape and so 1736 01:11:23.340 --> 01:11:25.520 much bullshit is to face it head on. 1737 01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:26.700 And that's kind of what we've been seeing 1738 01:11:26.700 --> 01:11:29.580 at a bull Bitcoin fighting against DAC 8 1739 01:11:29.580 --> 01:11:32.220 in France. So this

is all around, you 1740 01:11:32.220 --> 01:11:35.960 know, the requirements of all of this extensive 1741 01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:40.300 KYC held in indefinitely across multiple jurisdictions. That's 1742 01:11:40.300 --> 01:11:43.180 just a honeypot and has resulted and continues 1743 01:11:43.180 --> 01:11:46.500 to result in physical wrench attacks on anybody 1744 01:11:46.500 --> 01:11:49.500 with Bitcoin or crypto as a whole. We 1745 01:11:49.500 --> 01:11:51.300 saw massive data leaks out of the French 1746 01:11:51.300 --> 01:11:54.160 tax authority earlier. And it's the hot spot 1747 01:11:54.160 --> 01:11:59.780 for being assaulted, killed, or kidnapped for your 1748 01:11:59.780 --> 01:12:03.500 Bitcoin. And so they are taking on the 1749 01:12:03.500 --> 01:12:07.340 French government head on in court, but it's 1750 01:12:07.340 --> 01:12:11.300 now. spread and what is it, it's called 1751 01:12:11.300 --> 01:12:16.340 Bitcoin Austria. They are also joining in the 1752 01:12:16.340 --> 01:12:20.040 legal fight in their local court, the federal 1753 01:12:20.040 --> 01:12:25.300 administration court to the Constitution court. Yeah. So, 1754 01:12:25.300 --> 01:12:27.440 you know, good to see, happy to see 1755 01:12:27.440 --> 01:12:29.360 that people are standing up on both fronts, 1756 01:12:29.360 --> 01:12:32.400 building around and facing head on. Joey, I'll 1757 01:12:32.400 --> 01:12:33.880 toss it to you before we tackle our 1758 01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:36.560 last bit here. Yeah, I think the tax, 1759 01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:39.900 the tax thing is, important because it is 1760 01:12:39.900 --> 01:12:45.840 a key gate against the export of American 1761 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:50.020 ideology via stuff like AI and media. And, 1762 01:12:50.020 --> 01:12:52.200 you know, Preston Burns talked a lot about 1763 01:12:52.200 --> 01:12:55.620 how foreign governments are trying to nerve American 1764 01:12:55.620 --> 01:12:57.860 companies' freedom of speech through offcom and the 1765 01:12:57.860 --> 01:12:59.300 UK, for example, and some other stuff that's 1766 01:12:59.300 --> 01:13:02.280 going on around Europe. But it's very difficult 1767 01:13:02.280 --> 01:13:03.960 to do, short of, as he says, you 1768 01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:06.680 know, landing troops on the ground in America 1769 01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:09.060 and conquering the the country, you're just not 1770 01:13:09.060 --> 01:13:10.480 going to be able to force 4chan to 1771 01:13:10.480 --> 01:13:12.640 stop saying things or allowing things said that 1772 01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:14.360 you don't like or don't agree with. It's 1773 01:13:14.360 --> 01:13:17.620 just not the way the American system works. 1774 01:13:17.620 --> 01:13:20.240 But this is a different animal entirely. You 1775 01:13:20.240 --> 01:13:22.780 could tell people that, yeah, you're free to 1776 01:13:22.780 --> 01:13:23.900 access whatever you want. You want to play 1777 01:13:23.900 --> 01:13:26.240

GTA. Go for it. You want to watch 1778 01:13:26.240 --> 01:13:29.120 American Netflix? Sure. You want to use Anthropic 1779 01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:31.060 to, you know, you want to use Claude 1780 01:13:31.060 --> 01:13:33.380 via Anthropic to do some work here. Go 1781 01:13:33.380 --> 01:13:36.040 for it. You want to get crime statistics 1782 01:13:36.040 --> 01:13:38.300 about the, or, you want to use. demographic 1783 01:13:38.300 --> 01:13:41.420 information about rioters in France, no problem, what's 1784 01:13:41.420 --> 01:13:44.100 going to cost you. And given that they're, 1785 01:13:44.100 --> 01:13:47.100 you know, experiencing a substandard quality of life 1786 01:13:47.100 --> 01:13:49.380 already and probably substandard earnings in more cases 1787 01:13:49.380 --> 01:13:51.440 than not, the likelihood that people are going 1788 01:13:51.440 --> 01:13:52.540 to be willing to pay for that goes 1789 01:13:52.540 --> 01:13:54.960 down all the time. Canada is going at 1790 01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:56.480 this direction as well, though a little bit 1791 01:13:56.480 --> 01:13:59.320 more backdoor. Obviously, our government just spent, I 1792 01:13:59.320 --> 01:14:01.600 think, $1 .6 billion funding an AI company 1793 01:14:01.600 --> 01:14:03.380 that has less compute than the four of 1794 01:14:03.380 --> 01:14:05.560 us with our iPhones at any given time. 1795 01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:08.200 The CEO is so thin -skinned and stupid 1796 01:14:08.200 --> 01:14:10.100 that instead of engaging with people who are 1797 01:14:10.100 --> 01:14:12.400 pointing out clear issues with his business model 1798 01:14:12.400 --> 01:14:14.340 and his company, he just blocks them, including 1799 01:14:14.340 --> 01:14:15.960 me, including a few other people who you 1800 01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:18.240 guys, I'm sure know. And, you know, this 1801 01:14:18.240 --> 01:14:23.000 is the answer for losing battles. This is 1802 01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:25.560 always the answer. We have to find a 1803 01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:28.260 way to stop people from finding something better. 1804 01:14:28.260 --> 01:14:30.040 We talked about it with Hungary and Poland. 1805 01:14:30.040 --> 01:14:32.120 We're talking about it now. Bull Bitcoin is 1806 01:14:32.120 --> 01:14:33.660 doing some great work here, putting this in 1807 01:14:33.660 --> 01:14:36.040 front of people and saying, look, this is 1808 01:14:36.040 --> 01:14:38.400 coming to you at some point. It's not 1809 01:14:38.400 --> 01:14:40.040 just going to be about Bitcoin at some 1810 01:14:40.040 --> 01:14:41.180 point. It's not just going to be for 1811 01:14:41.180 --> 01:14:42.940 high income earners. It's not just going to 1812 01:14:42.940 --> 01:14:45.980 be, just going to be, it's always, always, 1813 01:14:45.980 --> 01:14:48.940 always water falling down. Like our friends from 1814 01:14:48.940 --> 01:14:53.060 the sovereign individuals say, the intensity and just 1815 01:14:53.060 --> 01:14:57.440 the brashness with which governments will try and 1816 01:14:57.440 --> 01:15:00.440 bury you and bury your freedoms, bury your 1817 01:15:00.440 --> 01:15:03.600 economic opportunity, bury your travel. They have no 1818 01:15:03.600 --> 01:15:05.540 choice but to do it. it. And there's 1819 01:15:05.540 --> 01:15:07.420 a lot of people who think that this 1820 01:15:07.420 --> 01:15:11.740 is like conspiratorial, but I don't know. Like, 1821 01:15:11.740 --> 01:15:15.180 are people willing to travel more or less 1822 01:15:15.180 --> 01:15:17.760 given that they're giving licenses to fly to 1823 01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:19.820 the people we're about to talk about in 1824 01:15:19.820 --> 01:15:21.600 the next story? Are you more or less 1825 01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:23.380 willing to travel knowing that the places you 1826 01:15:23.380 --> 01:15:26.580 land are, you know, high crime, low social 1827 01:15:26.580 --> 01:15:30.360 cohesion, low trust, right? There's more countries where 1828 01:15:30.360 --> 01:15:31.920 the candy is taken off the porch now 1829 01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:34.280 than not. And so the likelihood that you 1830 01:15:34.280 --> 01:15:36.460 are willing to go there and pay some 1831 01:15:36.460 --> 01:15:40.880 exorbitant price via tax or other, you know, 1832 01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:43.060 unfair tariff on you, I think it just 1833 01:15:43.060 --> 01:15:44.920 goes down more and more. You can get 1834 01:15:44.920 --> 01:15:46.520 on a plane if you want, but, you 1835 01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:48.420 know, it's dangerous while you're on your way 1836 01:15:48.420 --> 01:15:49.920 and it's dangerous when you land. You know, 1837 01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:51.120 that's the thing I think that people are 1838 01:15:51.120 --> 01:15:53.640 miscounting. Yeah, perfect segue here. I'm just going 1839 01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:56.120 to bring it up now because holy crap. 1840 01:15:56.120 --> 01:16:00.940 Psycho. Yeah, yeah, this is the visual of 1841 01:16:00.940 --> 01:16:05.680 this friggin' plane, like the speed. It's like 1842 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:08.900 it disintegrates almost immediately. This was in West 1843 01:16:08.900 --> 01:16:14.180 Palm Beach, Florida, Learjet, 60, business jet. And 1844 01:16:14.180 --> 01:16:18.260 there were nine people on board, including the 1845 01:16:18.260 --> 01:16:20.920 pilot and co -pilot. Like, look at the 1846 01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:24.720 angle that this, it's just straight down. Crazy. 1847 01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:27.860 Straight down. Yeah, somebody was like, this car 1848 01:16:27.860 --> 01:16:30.460 is the luckiest person on the planet. It 1849 01:16:30.460 --> 01:16:34.620 was like off by, holy hell. But like, 1850 01:16:34.620 --> 01:16:37.160 I heard the, I'm sure you guys probably 1851 01:16:37.160 --> 01:16:39.920 did too, but I heard the call in 1852 01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:42.880 to the tower. And it's, it's horrific. Like, 1853 01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:46.360 the whole thing is just

horrific. But, Joe, 1854 01:16:46.360 --> 01:16:48.120 I didn't, I hadn't seen this, but you 1855 01:16:48.120 --> 01:16:52.360 shared a couple things. The co -pilot was 1856 01:16:52.360 --> 01:16:54.840 20. This 20 -year -old girl, she got 1857 01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:57.720 her license in high school. Yeah. Somebody below 1858 01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:01.480 showing her, like, TikTok or whatever. That's in 1859 01:17:01.480 --> 01:17:02.900 the links I sent you. That's her boyfriend. 1860 01:17:02.900 --> 01:17:05.020 They both fly. Yeah. Man, how often do 1861 01:17:05.020 --> 01:17:07.500 you see two pilots under 21 with commercial 1862 01:17:07.500 --> 01:17:09.540 multi -engine? The answer is not that often 1863 01:17:09.540 --> 01:17:11.960 because you're not qualified and now you're dead. 1864 01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:13.800 Like, they understand how stupid that is? It's 1865 01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:19.200 unbelievable. Completely unacceptable. Yeah. And you sent over 1866 01:17:19.200 --> 01:17:21.460 this one as well. I don't even know. 1867 01:17:21.460 --> 01:17:22.900 This is from her Instagram. So she's ignoring 1868 01:17:22.900 --> 01:17:24.980 what's called the center line, which if you, 1869 01:17:24.980 --> 01:17:26.640 like I did some really quick research. I 1870 01:17:26.640 --> 01:17:28.880 have nothing, I have no idea about aviation. 1871 01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:30.640 But apparently this is a rather important thing 1872 01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:32.700 when deciding on, like, where your plane is 1873 01:17:32.700 --> 01:17:34.680 in in, in, think about like a two 1874 01:17:34.680 --> 01:17:37.160 plane, Cartesian plane almost, right? Like you, like 1875 01:17:37.160 --> 01:17:39.080 you have to stay level. It tells you 1876 01:17:39.080 --> 01:17:41.280 how you're turning, how much you're turning. Because 1877 01:17:41.280 --> 01:17:42.540 in the air, there's not really a point 1878 01:17:42.540 --> 01:17:44.600 of reference, except for that center line, as 1879 01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:47.080 far as I understand it. So, like, this 1880 01:17:47.080 --> 01:17:48.060 is the kind of stuff that you're dealing 1881 01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:50.440 with. And just to, just for the fucking 1882 01:17:50.440 --> 01:17:53.820 white knight losers in the fucking comment saying, 1883 01:17:53.820 --> 01:17:55.100 well, she was just the co -pilot. The 1884 01:17:55.100 --> 01:17:56.740 real pilot was, I think it was a 1885 01:17:56.740 --> 01:17:59.180 55 -year -old guy, which it's a shame. 1886 01:17:59.180 --> 01:18:01.960 Two things, okay. Number one, and maybe most 1887 01:18:01.960 --> 01:18:04.480 importantly, there's, there's clips of this girl talking 1888 01:18:04.480 --> 01:18:06.600 to ATC from May or April of this 1889 01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:09.980 year, making the same mistake in the same 1890 01:18:09.980 --> 01:18:13.020 place and trying to exercise the same bad 1891 01:18:13.020 --> 01:18:15.660 judgment at that moment and has to get 1892 01:18:15.660 --> 01:18:17.460 corrected by air traffic control, not once but 1893 01:18:17.460 --> 01:18:20.020 twice, once about going through the storm and 1894 01:18:20.020 --> 01:18:22.140 once about flying into oncoming air traffic. That's 1895 01:18:22.140 --> 01:18:24.040 problem number one. Problem number two for people 1896 01:18:24.040 --> 01:18:25.140 who say, well, you can't blame her, you 1897 01:18:25.140 --> 01:18:26.420 have to play in the pilot. If that 1898 01:18:26.420 --> 01:18:29.480 girl saved the aircraft, okay, if that aircraft 1899 01:18:29.480 --> 01:18:32.340 was successful in getting out of this, in 1900 01:18:32.340 --> 01:18:34.660 getting out of this accident, who would everyone 1901 01:18:34.660 --> 01:18:37.340 have rushed to as a hero? Ask yourself 1902 01:18:37.340 --> 01:18:40.160 that question, be honest, okay, and spare me 1903 01:18:40.160 --> 01:18:43.480 the fucking bullshit. Everyone can see what you 1904 01:18:43.480 --> 01:18:45.600 get, okay? You want to talk about leering 1905 01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:47.980 centers, not to make a bad joke even 1906 01:18:47.980 --> 01:18:50.600 darker, but when you hand out licenses like 1907 01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:52.420 that and then tell people to fly lear 1908 01:18:52.420 --> 01:18:54.220 jets, which is the advanced class as far 1909 01:18:54.220 --> 01:18:56.060 as I know, it's not commercial, it doesn't 1910 01:18:56.060 --> 01:18:58.420 have the same redundancies, it's much less forgiving, 1911 01:18:58.420 --> 01:19:01.480 it's a smaller aircraft, many reasons why. those 1912 01:19:01.480 --> 01:19:03.120 are some of the last things people fly. 1913 01:19:03.120 --> 01:19:04.900 Nathan, who's not here, pointed out something important 1914 01:19:04.900 --> 01:19:06.360 to me before the show that I didn't 1915 01:19:06.360 --> 01:19:07.500 know about because I think he's got a 1916 01:19:07.500 --> 01:19:10.820 family member in aviation. Most of the time, 1917 01:19:10.820 --> 01:19:14.520 when you see people flying, lear jets, commercial 1918 01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:16.860 aircraft, blah, blah, blah, most of the time 1919 01:19:16.860 --> 01:19:18.620 they get their hours from one of two 1920 01:19:18.620 --> 01:19:21.080 things. They have rich family members, and so 1921 01:19:21.080 --> 01:19:22.800 they have this hobby, you know, it's like, 1922 01:19:22.800 --> 01:19:24.580 I guess, one level up from equestrian, maybe, 1923 01:19:24.580 --> 01:19:25.400 I don't know how much money need to 1924 01:19:25.400 --> 01:19:26.560 be a pilot in your free time, but 1925 01:19:26.560 --> 01:19:28.520 probably a fucking bunch. And then the other 1926 01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:30.160 thing is that most of the time they 1927 01:19:30.160 --> 01:19:32.660 get their hours in the military. So these 1928 01:19:32.660 --> 01:19:34.920 guys are flying military aircraft. I don't know 1929 01:19:34.920 --> 01:19:36.260 if you know anyone in the military, but 1930

01:19:36.260 --> 01:19:38.860 if you ever heard of like the military 1931 01:19:38.860 --> 01:19:40.640 descents these guys do because they don't have 1932 01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:42.120 a lot of runway, like they're literally going 1933 01:19:42.120 --> 01:19:45.000 in a spiral down. Some of the roughest 1934 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:47.040 air riding you will ever see or hear 1935 01:19:47.040 --> 01:19:49.280 about. That's expert level flying. These guys are 1936 01:19:49.280 --> 01:19:52.240 learning on. So taking someone in a jet 1937 01:19:52.240 --> 01:19:54.740 from Texas to Florida, wherever this thing was 1938 01:19:54.740 --> 01:19:57.660 going, should have been child's play. It wasn't, 1939 01:19:57.660 --> 01:20:00.180 unfortunately. And now, you know, all these people 1940 01:20:00.180 --> 01:20:02.520 are dead. And it's a huge story. I 1941 01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:04.180 feel terrible for this girl's family, but it 1942 01:20:04.180 --> 01:20:06.260 just should have never been allowed to happen. 1943 01:20:06.260 --> 01:20:08.140 It should never be allowed to happen that 1944 01:20:08.140 --> 01:20:11.500 someone gets a pilot's license in a high 1945 01:20:11.500 --> 01:20:13.820 school elective. I don't care if it's only 1946 01:20:13.820 --> 01:20:15.500 part of the course. I don't care if 1947 01:20:15.500 --> 01:20:18.000 it's like just some hours you get. That 1948 01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:20.340 cannot be allowed to happen. Simple. It's very 1949 01:20:20.340 --> 01:20:22.840 simple. It's too high risk. It's too dangerous. 1950 01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:24.900 It's amazing to me that this is going 1951 01:20:24.900 --> 01:20:27.060 on and people are defending it. Like, give 1952 01:20:27.060 --> 01:20:28.560 your fucking head of shake, man. If that 1953 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.520 was your plane, like, we, we've all done 1954 01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:34.080 some flying. If you saw a 20 -year 1955 01:20:34.080 --> 01:20:37.800 -old girl in the fucking cockpit of your 1956 01:20:37.800 --> 01:20:40.600 flight, would you not, would you not, like, 1957 01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:43.200 do a double take? What is the level? 1958 01:20:43.200 --> 01:20:44.120 Yeah, I'm going to be honest, that would 1959 01:20:44.120 --> 01:20:46.380 kind of irk me a little bit. Oh, 1960 01:20:46.380 --> 01:20:49.480 shit. I'm not trying to white night, but 1961 01:20:49.480 --> 01:20:50.300 I would do a double take if it 1962 01:20:50.300 --> 01:20:52.120 was a 20 -year -old dude, too. Same. 1963 01:20:52.120 --> 01:20:54.560 It's just too young. Yeah, just too young. 1964 01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:57.080 Can't happen. I want my pilot seasoned. Yeah. 1965 01:20:57.080 --> 01:20:59.940 Seasoned and calm. That is what I want. 1966 01:20:59.940 --> 01:21:01.560 I do not want the frivolity of youth 1967 01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:06.560 involved. Totally. Totally agree, man. Sad, very sad. 1968 01:21:06.560 --> 01:21:10.000 It's horrible. Sucks. Brandon, any thoughts here

as 1969 01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:14.420 well? Yeah, it's, it just gives you the 1970 01:21:14.420 --> 01:21:17.280 vibes of, you know, again, it's cliche of 1971 01:21:17.280 --> 01:21:19.520 like, and the vampire stuff. We've talked about 1972 01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:21.860 it with the, even to a lesser extent, 1973 01:21:21.860 --> 01:21:25.220 right, the CDLs, right? And the truckers, so, 1974 01:21:25.220 --> 01:21:27.120 you know, the accidents we've seen, you know, 1975 01:21:27.120 --> 01:21:28.280 so much that's going out we saw in 1976 01:21:28.280 --> 01:21:30.820 the, was that in Washington or was it 1977 01:21:30.820 --> 01:21:32.460 Reagan or Dulles. I can't remember where they 1978 01:21:32.460 --> 01:21:33.900 had the accident. It was that last year, 1979 01:21:33.900 --> 01:21:37.100 the Black Hawk of flying into, or maybe 1980 01:21:37.100 --> 01:21:38.020 a year and a half ago with the, 1981 01:21:38.020 --> 01:21:39.340 flew into another plane. Yeah, flew into another 1982 01:21:39.340 --> 01:21:41.460 plane landing. A bunch of the, you know, 1983 01:21:41.460 --> 01:21:43.160 family and parents from like the U .S. 1984 01:21:43.160 --> 01:21:45.420 national, you know, skating, figure skating team and 1985 01:21:45.420 --> 01:21:48.940 stuff. And it's just, you know, obviously, there's 1986 01:21:48.940 --> 01:21:49.900 going to be accidents in life. So you 1987 01:21:49.900 --> 01:21:51.500 don't want to, like, go over the edge 1988 01:21:51.500 --> 01:21:53.120 too much on things, because, you know, life 1989 01:21:53.120 --> 01:21:55.180 is, we're in a fallen world and unfortunately, 1990 01:21:55.180 --> 01:21:56.860 immortality is part of that. But at the 1991 01:21:56.860 --> 01:21:59.220 same time, it's frustrating when you see to 1992 01:21:59.220 --> 01:22:01.460 Joey's, point when you see things that, you 1993 01:22:01.460 --> 01:22:04.000 know, it just doesn't pass this smell test, 1994 01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:06.320 you know, like this, those are the things 1995 01:22:06.320 --> 01:22:08.220 that are really frustrating and it just lit, 1996 01:22:08.220 --> 01:22:10.240 as a Bitcoiner, you just immediately go to 1997 01:22:10.240 --> 01:22:12.980 Fiat, right? Like, Fiat, where do we go 1998 01:22:12.980 --> 01:22:15.200 wrong in this incentive structure that this is 1999 01:22:15.200 --> 01:22:16.900 the outcome? These are the outcomes that were, 2000 01:22:16.900 --> 01:22:18.940 we're throwing these people CDL license or we're 2001 01:22:18.940 --> 01:22:21.200 throwing in their commercial pilot license or whatever 2002 01:22:21.200 --> 01:22:23.460 it is. That's what's frustrating because it's, there's 2003 01:22:23.460 --> 01:22:25.460 so many unforced errors for any of the 2004 01:22:25.460 --> 01:22:27.200 sports fans out there, right? Like, there's these 2005 01:22:27.200 --> 01:22:30.320 unforced errors that we just keep committing. Because, 2006 01:22:30.320 --> 01:22:32.240 again, it's like sports in general,

you can 2007 01:22:32.240 --> 01:22:34.360 take losing to a better team. And that's 2008 01:22:34.360 --> 01:22:35.900 part of life, right? Death is a part 2009 01:22:35.900 --> 01:22:37.420 of life, all these bad things happen in 2010 01:22:37.420 --> 01:22:39.520 life. But when you have these unforced errors, 2011 01:22:39.520 --> 01:22:41.240 or you're just not playing, you're not giving 2012 01:22:41.240 --> 01:22:43.740 the effort, things like that, that's what's inexcusable. 2013 01:22:43.740 --> 01:22:46.220 And that's what's very frustrating as someone who, 2014 01:22:46.220 --> 01:22:47.700 you know, was very athletic growing up and 2015 01:22:47.700 --> 01:22:49.820 just playing into seeing that. You'd always get 2016 01:22:49.820 --> 01:22:51.920 frustrated. Your coach would be the maddest at 2017 01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:53.480 those things when the team didn't give the 2018 01:22:53.480 --> 01:22:55.320 effort. And that's where you'd get run into 2019 01:22:55.320 --> 01:22:56.840 the ground or skated into the ground the 2020 01:22:56.840 --> 01:22:58.320 next day of practice or, you know, whatever 2021 01:22:58.320 --> 01:23:00.040 it was. So that to me, it just 2022 01:23:00.040 --> 01:23:02.180 reeks of fiat, and that's where I think 2023 01:23:02.180 --> 01:23:03.660 as Bitcoiners, we'd all look back and sit 2024 01:23:03.660 --> 01:23:05.940 back and say, gosh, dang, like, we hope 2025 01:23:05.940 --> 01:23:07.160 we get to this world where we don't 2026 01:23:07.160 --> 01:23:09.720 have to keep learning these lessons, these Canadian 2027 01:23:09.720 --> 01:23:11.620 trucker stuff, the Dutch farmer stuff, or these 2028 01:23:11.620 --> 01:23:14.040 incidents where, you know, and again, maybe this 2029 01:23:14.040 --> 01:23:16.080 is, maybe it isn't. But again, you see 2030 01:23:16.080 --> 01:23:18.140 these things and you say, can we just 2031 01:23:18.140 --> 01:23:20.420 clean these things up and reorient the architecture 2032 01:23:20.420 --> 01:23:22.920 of the incentive structure so we aren't seeing 2033 01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:27.740 these unforestedors anymore? My question to you guys 2034 01:23:27.740 --> 01:23:34.580 is how much, because I mean, obviously, you 2035 01:23:34.580 --> 01:23:37.500 know, shit hits the fan and I see 2036 01:23:37.500 --> 01:23:40.500 the chat as well, co -pilot, co -pilot, 2037 01:23:40.500 --> 01:23:42.280 co -pilot, I get it. I understand there 2038 01:23:42.280 --> 01:23:44.340 was a pilot and he was 55, but 2039 01:23:44.340 --> 01:23:46.260 at the end of the day, also, the 2040 01:23:46.260 --> 01:23:48.860 co -pilot needs to be in a situation 2041 01:23:48.860 --> 01:23:53.020 where they can handle everything as well. And 2042 01:23:53.020 --> 01:23:56.340 so I think that the point, main point 2043 01:23:56.340 --> 01:23:59.040 being about the age, 20 years old, holy 2044 01:23:59.040 --> 01:24:02.160 crap, with people's lives in their hands, I'm 2045 01:24:02.160 --> 01:24:04.520 so

uncomfortable with that idea that you're absolutely 2046 01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:08.220 right. Walking in, dude or girl, doesn't matter. 2047 01:24:08.220 --> 01:24:09.900 I'm looking at a 20 -year -old who 2048 01:24:09.900 --> 01:24:14.880 can't legally drink handling the jet. And like, 2049 01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:17.160 look at this chat. I'm actually in disbelief 2050 01:24:17.160 --> 01:24:20.200 here. Like, it's more dangerous to drive. I'm 2051 01:24:20.200 --> 01:24:22.180 taking advantage of my admin rights here. It's 2052 01:24:22.180 --> 01:24:25.160 more dangerous. to drive. What if you saw 2053 01:24:25.160 --> 01:24:26.880 a 20 -year -old driving? How would you 2054 01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:29.700 react? Buddy, I would react the same way 2055 01:24:29.700 --> 01:24:31.520 that most normal people would react. If I 2056 01:24:31.520 --> 01:24:32.820 saw a 20 -year -old behind the wheel 2057 01:24:32.820 --> 01:24:34.120 of a car, my preference would be to 2058 01:24:34.120 --> 01:24:36.100 not be near the 20 -year -old. I 2059 01:24:36.100 --> 01:24:37.260 don't get in the car with the 20 2060 01:24:37.260 --> 01:24:39.060 -year -old driving. I don't let 20 -year 2061 01:24:39.060 --> 01:24:41.360 -olds give me advice on basically anything. Why? 2062 01:24:41.360 --> 01:24:44.220 They're 20. That's why. I remember what it 2063 01:24:44.220 --> 01:24:45.560 was like to be 20. Do you remember 2064 01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:46.900 what it was like to be 20? Would 2065 01:24:46.900 --> 01:24:48.360 you have wanted to drive around 20 -year 2066 01:24:48.360 --> 01:24:51.020 -old you? Give your fucking head of shake, 2067 01:24:51.020 --> 01:24:52.420 man. Also, that's 20 -year -old drive. And 2068 01:24:52.420 --> 01:24:53.720 like, you're not. I'm not hating on the 2069 01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:56.100 fucking girl. It's not about the girl. They're 2070 01:24:56.100 --> 01:24:57.980 her gender, okay? What are we talking about? 2071 01:24:57.980 --> 01:25:00.460 We're talking about the fucking school. We're talking 2072 01:25:00.460 --> 01:25:03.240 about the licensing. We're talking about the age, 2073 01:25:03.240 --> 01:25:05.700 the experience, all this stuff. And yet, to 2074 01:25:05.700 --> 01:25:07.300 Ben's point, the co -pilot has to have 2075 01:25:07.300 --> 01:25:09.580 the same tools that the pilot has. If 2076 01:25:09.580 --> 01:25:11.520 you don't, you can't fly. And like I 2077 01:25:11.520 --> 01:25:14.440 said, she made the same mistake five months 2078 01:25:14.440 --> 01:25:17.000 earlier and either didn't say anything here, didn't 2079 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.480 remedy it, or whatever the situation was. It's 2080 01:25:19.480 --> 01:25:22.480 ugly, it's unfortunate. But pretending that it's in 2081 01:25:22.480 --> 01:25:24.360 bad. to talk about the facts is a 2082 01:25:24.360 --> 01:25:27.000 problem with you, not with us. I promise 2083 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:31.240 you that. Yeah. I think just in general, 2084 01:25:31.240 --> 01:25:34.800 also, comparing driving and flight, yeah, driving is 2085 01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:36.980 more dangerous in that it's much more likely 2086 01:25:36.980 --> 01:25:41.200 that something can go wrong. But the thing 2087 01:25:41.200 --> 01:25:44.340 is most often when things go wrong with 2088 01:25:44.340 --> 01:25:46.620 a vehicle, then you're probably going to get 2089 01:25:46.620 --> 01:25:48.740 in a fender bender or, yeah, it might 2090 01:25:48.740 --> 01:25:51.800 be a bad accident. But, you know, and 2091 01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:55.320 yes, way more people. people die driving than, 2092 01:25:55.320 --> 01:25:57.020 you know, you're more likely to die on 2093 01:25:57.020 --> 01:25:59.780 the way to the airport than in the 2094 01:25:59.780 --> 01:26:04.380 plane. Just because the infrequency of disasters like 2095 01:26:04.380 --> 01:26:10.300 this, because up until now, the stringent, you 2096 01:26:10.300 --> 01:26:13.580 know, regulations in and around safety for that. 2097 01:26:13.580 --> 01:26:16.600 But it's when you start being loosey -goosey 2098 01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:18.940 with this stuff and being like, yeah, you 2099 01:26:18.940 --> 01:26:22.660 know, like, let it slide. And again, a 2100 01:26:22.660 --> 01:26:25.040 20 -year -old behind a wheel, yeah, you 2101 01:26:25.040 --> 01:26:28.500 know, probably a crappier driver than the... Almost 2102 01:26:28.500 --> 01:26:36.920 certainly. Yeah, exactly. But I'm still thinking of 2103 01:26:36.920 --> 01:26:40.120 the 20 -year -old making a mistake, there 2104 01:26:40.120 --> 01:26:43.640 is a much lesser likelihood that it's going 2105 01:26:43.640 --> 01:26:45.820 to be imminent death. The 20 -year -old 2106 01:26:45.820 --> 01:26:49.680 flying a Learjet making a mistake, everyone is 2107 01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:51.440 dead. And that's, I think... I think the 2108 01:26:51.440 --> 01:26:54.580 visceral fear when it comes to flying is, 2109 01:26:54.580 --> 01:26:57.140 if you're in the air and something goes 2110 01:26:57.140 --> 01:27:01.540 wrong, it's over more likely than not. If 2111 01:27:01.540 --> 01:27:04.520 you're in a car and something goes wrong, 2112 01:27:04.520 --> 01:27:08.100 we'll see. Even, and Joe, you'll remember this. 2113 01:27:08.100 --> 01:27:09.540 And you boys might too and some in 2114 01:27:09.540 --> 01:27:11.340 the chat, but my favorite team growing up 2115 01:27:11.340 --> 01:27:12.720 was the Detroit Red Wings. I remember being 2116 01:27:12.720 --> 01:27:14.400 10 years old and just won the Stanley 2117 01:27:14.400 --> 01:27:16.460 Cup first time in 42 years. And literally 2118 01:27:16.460 --> 01:27:18.180 the next week, the boys are partying, they're 2119 01:27:18.180 --> 01:27:19.980 doing the right thing. They get a limo 2120 01:27:19.980 --> 01:27:23.520 driver. and a crash. The guy had a 2121 01:27:23.520 --> 01:27:26.600 suspended license. He had some other issues, I 2122 01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:28.640

believe, crashed right on Woodward, you know, right 2123 01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:30.580 in downtown, well, a little north of downtown 2124 01:27:30.580 --> 01:27:32.360 Detroit on the way at 2, whatever it 2125 01:27:32.360 --> 01:27:33.880 was, 2 a .m. coming back from, you 2126 01:27:33.880 --> 01:27:35.840 know, drinking with the boys, celebrating the Stanley 2127 01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:38.380 Cup win. And two of them are, like, 2128 01:27:38.380 --> 01:27:41.560 paralyzed since 1997, you know, just sorry. And 2129 01:27:41.560 --> 01:27:44.780 things happen in life. But it just, it 2130 01:27:44.780 --> 01:27:47.140 makes you kind of just go back to, 2131 01:27:47.140 --> 01:27:48.200 you know, some of these things. Like, would 2132 01:27:48.200 --> 01:27:51.360 you, would you have a 20 -year -old 2133 01:27:51.360 --> 01:27:55.200 driving around a bunch of celebrities or athletes 2134 01:27:55.200 --> 01:27:56.760 or Jeff Bezos, you know, getting in the 2135 01:27:56.760 --> 01:27:58.540 car. and so it's the same kind of 2136 01:27:58.540 --> 01:28:00.460 thing. Like, are you going to, you know, 2137 01:28:00.460 --> 01:28:02.220 that company's going to go, hey, here, you're 2138 01:28:02.220 --> 01:28:03.580 a 20 -year -old, go drive around Jeff 2139 01:28:03.580 --> 01:28:05.320 Bezos or the CEO of these Fortune 500 2140 01:28:05.320 --> 01:28:07.740 companies or whatever it is. It's an odd 2141 01:28:07.740 --> 01:28:09.620 choice. And then it goes back to, again, 2142 01:28:09.620 --> 01:28:12.220 the Fiat incentive thing of, do you really 2143 01:28:12.220 --> 01:28:13.780 need to push the envelope that much? Do 2144 01:28:13.780 --> 01:28:16.000 we really need that extra jet, you know, 2145 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:18.660 and that's the Fiat consequences of you're going 2146 01:28:18.660 --> 01:28:20.340 out in the risk curve and, doing dumber 2147 01:28:20.340 --> 01:28:23.020 things and expanding the envelope here because you 2148 01:28:23.020 --> 01:28:25.660 feel the need to, because costs are increasing, 2149 01:28:25.660 --> 01:28:26.660 and you got to make that one last 2150 01:28:26.660 --> 01:28:27.640 flight, or you've got to do that one 2151 01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:29.820 extra thing when maybe you shouldn't have, and 2152 01:28:29.820 --> 01:28:31.600 then these things happen. So that's where my 2153 01:28:31.600 --> 01:28:33.120 mind goes. I know many of Bitcoiners, many 2154 01:28:33.120 --> 01:28:34.100 of us, like, you kind of just go 2155 01:28:34.100 --> 01:28:35.680 back to that of like, could this have 2156 01:28:35.680 --> 01:28:37.520 been avoided? Could these unforced errors been avoided 2157 01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:39.860 because there were different incentives? I'm going to 2158 01:28:39.860 --> 01:28:41.280 make it even spicier. I'm going to go 2159 01:28:41.280 --> 01:28:43.880 ahead and say that I'm equally worried about 2160 01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:46.960 20 -year -olds voting. So chat, I am 2161 01:28:46.960 -->

01:28:48.940 I am astonished by what I see in 2162 01:28:48.940 --> 01:28:50.520 this chat right now. I know I am 2163 01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:52.980 blown away. Also the 80 -year -old. Yeah, 2164 01:28:52.980 --> 01:28:55.120 I don't want me either. Are you guys 2165 01:28:55.120 --> 01:28:59.740 fucking retarded?! I take a step back, guys? 2166 01:28:59.740 --> 01:29:01.260 What's sad is that we even have to 2167 01:29:01.260 --> 01:29:04.440 have this kind of a conversation, because I 2168 01:29:04.440 --> 01:29:06.180 think it's a, it's a symptom of how 2169 01:29:06.180 --> 01:29:11.260 far we've fallen. as, let's say, Western civilization, 2170 01:29:11.260 --> 01:29:13.240 not just Western, like, let's be honest, we're 2171 01:29:13.240 --> 01:29:15.140 Western civilization is still number one. and if 2172 01:29:15.140 --> 01:29:18.060 you disagree, fuck you, you're wrong. You can 2173 01:29:18.060 --> 01:29:19.600 let me know in the chat. It's okay. 2174 01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:19.600 You can let me know in the chat. 2175 01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:20.840 It's okay. It's okay to be wrong publicly. 2176 01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:24.500 You look like a fucking idiot. Think about 2177 01:29:24.500 --> 01:29:27.660 the people that, and Brandon knows this well, 2178 01:29:27.660 --> 01:29:31.500 the men who built this nation, most of 2179 01:29:31.500 --> 01:29:38.480 them were young, 18 to 27, mainly, and 2180 01:29:38.480 --> 01:29:41.500 had their shit fucking figured out. Because the 2181 01:29:41.500 --> 01:29:44.020 world was not so kind. The world was 2182 01:29:44.020 --> 01:29:45.340 not so easy. The world was not so 2183 01:29:45.340 --> 01:29:48.040 soft. You had to have your shit figured 2184 01:29:48.040 --> 01:29:49.460 out. And these were men who put everything 2185 01:29:49.460 --> 01:29:53.240 on the world. the line risked life, limb, 2186 01:29:53.240 --> 01:29:56.240 risked their families, to be honest. Something that 2187 01:29:56.240 --> 01:29:59.460 most of us wouldn't do, just because who 2188 01:29:59.460 --> 01:30:02.420 would risk their families? But who saw a 2189 01:30:02.420 --> 01:30:03.920 greater purpose and something that they needed to 2190 01:30:03.920 --> 01:30:05.480 do not just for themselves, not just for 2191 01:30:05.480 --> 01:30:09.120 their families, but for their people, for their 2192 01:30:09.120 --> 01:30:12.680 country. And I think it's sad to think 2193 01:30:12.680 --> 01:30:15.220 that we're at a place where after 20 2194 01:30:15.220 --> 01:30:17.840 years of age, let's been honest, whichever, it 2195 01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:18.900 doesn't matter where you fall in this, I 2196 01:30:18.900 --> 01:30:21.920 don't care, What, you know, whether you're like, 2197 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:23.980 oh, 20 years should or shouldn't, it doesn't 2198 01:30:23.980 --> 01:30:26.160 matter. The fact is that that's even a 2199 01:30:26.160 --> 01:30:28.920 question, that the question of competence has to 2200 01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:30.940 be raised after 20 years in this planet, 2201 01:30:30.940 --> 01:30:33.600 I think is quite sad. I think it's, 2202 01:30:33.600 --> 01:30:35.320 and Joey, I don't disagree with you. I'm 2203 01:30:35.320 --> 01:30:36.380 not disagree with you at all. I do 2204 01:30:36.380 --> 01:30:37.980 agree with you. My point is that it's 2205 01:30:37.980 --> 01:30:40.500 sad that we're at this place. Agreed. Where 2206 01:30:40.500 --> 01:30:41.800 somebody who was 20 years old used to 2207 01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:43.440 be able to overthrow the most powerful fucking 2208 01:30:43.440 --> 01:30:45.740 empire in the history of the world. And 2209 01:30:45.740 --> 01:30:47.860 then build the new most powerful empire in 2210 01:30:47.860 --> 01:30:47.860 the history of the world. And then build 2211 01:30:47.860 --> 01:30:48.960 the new most powerful empire in the history 2212 01:30:48.960 --> 01:30:50.960 of the fucking world. world. And now we're 2213 01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:51.920 at a place where like, I don't know 2214 01:30:51.920 --> 01:30:54.240 if they should drive. I don't know if 2215 01:30:54.240 --> 01:30:56.920 they should vote. Like, such great point. Fuck, 2216 01:30:56.920 --> 01:31:00.920 man. We've gotten soft. And the hard times 2217 01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:03.120 that are created are a result of that 2218 01:31:03.120 --> 01:31:06.800 softness. End of mini rant. Yeah. I'm drinking 2219 01:31:06.800 --> 01:31:08.600 a Polish beer, by the way, guys. Shout 2220 01:31:08.600 --> 01:31:09.600 out to the, shout out to the, shout 2221 01:31:09.600 --> 01:31:11.500 to any poll. To you Eastern. It's a 2222 01:31:11.500 --> 01:31:13.560 great beer. Yeah, I think I think the 2223 01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:17.020 answer is higher expectations of everyone, right? Like, 2224 01:31:17.020 --> 01:31:19.240 we should have high expectations. And I see 2225 01:31:19.240 --> 01:31:22.380 it in, in, even in, like, public schooling 2226 01:31:22.380 --> 01:31:24.240 systems. Like, they're not allowed to fail kids 2227 01:31:24.240 --> 01:31:27.140 here in the public schooling system. You're not 2228 01:31:27.140 --> 01:31:29.320 allowed to give a mark under 50 for 2229 01:31:29.320 --> 01:31:37.560 anything. Government -run schooling, Ben. Government -runs -schooling, 2230 01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:51.320 Ben.! resulting in people that are less prepared 2231 01:31:51.320 --> 01:31:53.060 for the real world, and that's unfortunate. I 2232 01:31:53.060 --> 01:31:54.620 think we need to turn that shit around. 2233 01:31:54.620 --> 01:31:57.480 So either way, I know this is a, 2234 01:31:57.480 --> 01:32:01.320 apparently controversial end to the show, but hey, 2235 01:32:01.320 --> 01:32:03.440 here we are. Throw those chairs if you 2236 01:32:03.440 --> 01:32:05.660 don't like it. Either way, we're going to 2237 01:32:05.660 --> 01:32:10.360 round this out. Great conversation. Happy Monday, everyone. 2238 01:32:10.360 --> 01:32:12.800 Tell

people what time we're starting. Yes. Tell 2239 01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:14.920 us too, because we don't know. Yeah, I 2240 01:32:14.920 --> 01:32:19.160 don't even know. Nathan, we need Clanker Nathan 2241 01:32:19.160 --> 01:32:22.640 here. Nathan, we're listing this later. Please create 2242 01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:25.260 a claim for yourself. It was 4 .30 2243 01:32:25.260 --> 01:32:27.280 Eastern time for you guys when we started, 2244 01:32:27.280 --> 01:32:30.500 right? Yeah. Okay. So we're doing that for 2245 01:32:30.500 --> 01:32:32.540 the rest of the week, and then we'll 2246 01:32:32.540 --> 01:32:34.800 see. It's weird because we were two hours 2247 01:32:34.800 --> 01:32:37.840 apart before, and now we're just like splitting 2248 01:32:37.840 --> 01:32:39.560 the difference because nobody knows what to do. 2249 01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:42.400 So anyways, plan on 430 Eastern time for 2250 01:32:42.400 --> 01:32:43.480 the rest of the week, and then we'll 2251 01:32:43.480 --> 01:32:45.640 figure it out. Either way, this is a 2252 01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:48.500 great rant. Thank you, Walker, for all of 2253 01:32:48.500 --> 01:32:50.440 your, your, your, your, your, calm and collected 2254 01:32:50.440 --> 01:32:53.400 item at the end there. We are out 2255 01:32:53.400 --> 01:32:56.440 of here. I'm Ben. This is Joey, Brandon, 2256 01:32:56.440 --> 01:32:59.340 and Walker, and this was Bitcast. We'll see 2257 01:32:59.340 --> 01:33:00.740 you guys next time. As soon as I 2258 01:33:00.740 --> 01:33:02.320 figure out how to close out the show, 2259 01:33:02.320 --> 01:33:04.360 finger guns. I forgot that it was me. 2260 01:33:04.360 --> 01:33:10.020 That's a damn. I know, Nathan. Okay, Nathan, 2261 01:33:10.020 --> 01:33:11.180 next time you get over here. We'll see 2262 01:33:11.180 --> 01:33:15.020 you next time. You know the world is 2263 01:33:15.020 --> 01:33:18.700 heading down a dark path.
