The Machine State — Building the Control Grid While the Empire Burns

WEBVTT
1
00:00:03.490 --> 00:00:09.429
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
2
00:00:14.789 --> 00:00:15.230
Ladies.
3
00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:17.730
Gentlemen. Friends.
4
00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:21.699
Foes. Lurkers. Regulars.
5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:24.339
GMO people.
6
00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:26.480
Organic people.
7
00:00:26.579 --> 00:00:28.019
The room.
8
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.199
Inbound.
9
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:50.270
Five. Four. All right. Well, $ 40 trillion in debt. Cool.
10
00:00:51.369 --> 00:00:58.869
Another and more confrontation with the Rand simmering. Oh, boy.
11
00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:02.490
That's fun in the background, isn't it? We've got institutions
12
00:01:02.509 --> 00:01:07.670
bleeding credibility. We've got political theater everywhere. And a ruling
13
00:01:07.709 --> 00:01:13.670
class that increasingly looks incapable of managing the basic machinery
14
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:18.829
of the country. And yet, somehow, the machine itself keeps
15
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:26.209
getting smarter. AI is answering emergency calls now. Okay? Surveillance
16
00:01:26.269 --> 00:01:31.469
drones are watching the border. Humanoid machines are being... disgust
17
00:01:31.569 --> 00:01:37.870
for interdiction. License plate readers are tracking movement across entire regions.
18
00:01:39.329 --> 00:01:45.290
Ballistics databases connect shootings in real time. Schools are filling
19
00:01:45.489 --> 00:01:52.829
bathrooms with sensors. Digital identity systems are creeping towards everyday life.
20
00:01:53.989 --> 00:01:58.349
While national security planners are openly mapping the future of
21
00:01:58.450 --> 00:02:06.900
directed energy, neuromorphic computing, and brain-computer interfaces. So, here's the
22
00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:12.300
contradiction we're looking at tonight. America increasingly resembles a system
23
00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:20.379
that can't govern itself, but can watch you. So, okay,
24
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:26.379
a government that can't balance the books, but can build
25
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:31.229
the database. An empire that can't seem to avoid the
26
00:02:31.289 --> 00:02:36.050
next war, but somehow always finds the money and technology
27
00:02:36.930 --> 00:02:41.689
for the next layer of control. Maybe we're not watching
28
00:02:41.710 --> 00:02:47.330
the machine collapse. Maybe we're watching something stranger. The old
29
00:02:47.409 --> 00:02:52.969
system deteriorating while the infrastructure of its replacement is being
30
00:02:53.009 --> 00:03:01.810
assembled underneath it. Tonight, in the boiler room, debt War, technocracy, surveillance,
31
00:03:02.449 --> 00:03:07.909
imperial decadence. And because reality apparently has a sense of humor,
32
00:03:08.939 --> 00:03:11.180
we even have Darth Vader showing up to defend the
33
00:03:11.219 --> 00:03:15.039
surveillance state. Welcome to Boiler Room. I'm Brian McClain, otherwise
34
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.759
known as Hesher. It's great to have you with us.
35
00:03:20.150 --> 00:03:22.669
We missed our Friday show, so here we are doing
36
00:03:22.689 --> 00:03:25.710
a bit of a makeup show today. It is Monday,
37
00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:31.710
August 24th, 2026. We're broadcasting live. On YouTube, RumbleX and
38
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:35.430
at AlternateCurrentRadio.com. That's our website. That's where you find all
39
00:03:35.469 --> 00:03:40.740
things Boiler Room and Alternate Current Radio. We've got a
40
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.379
pretty packed set of links tonight to go through. And
41
00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:49.340
we have a lean and mean crew for you. Just
42
00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:52.389
me and Ruckus. Ruckus, what's going on, man? Welcome back
43
00:03:52.449 --> 00:03:53.229
to the Boiler Room.
44
00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:58.259
Hey now, I may be lean. I'm extremely, extremely lean,
45
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.139
but I'm not mean. That was rude. How dare you?
46
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.159
You carry the lean, I'll carry the mean tonight.
47
00:04:06.810 --> 00:04:08.490
Now we'll give the mean award to one of our
48
00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:12.969
chatters tonight. They're fantastic fun. Hello to our chatters, by
49
00:04:13.009 --> 00:04:15.189
the way. Sorry to keep you waiting. When we keep
50
00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:20.129
everybody waiting, they have to entertain themselves. And sometimes, yeah,
51
00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:22.670
that doesn't look fun. But yeah, I'm glad we could
52
00:04:22.709 --> 00:04:25.889
start the show so that Y'all have something better to do.
53
00:04:26.310 --> 00:04:29.250
Just kidding. We do love all of our chatters out there.
54
00:04:31.149 --> 00:04:35.829
I am sporting the Mohawk, by the way. I cut
55
00:04:35.870 --> 00:04:38.730
my hair extremely short. I did one of the pandemic
56
00:04:38.889 --> 00:04:41.250
haircuts is what it's called. That's the new name for
57
00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:43.430
when you're so poor you can't afford to go get
58
00:04:43.490 --> 00:04:45.689
a haircut from a proper place. So you do it
59
00:04:45.730 --> 00:04:48.610
yourself and you just call it, well, it's the COVID haircut.
60
00:04:48.649 --> 00:04:51.480
I'm just being frugal. But I thought I did a
61
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:53.740
good job. It's just very hard to tell that it's
62
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.279
not even a Mohawk anyways. I did the full Hawk.
63
00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:58.519
I do want to do a full-blown Mohawk. I'm going
64
00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:00.709
to do it. I better do it before the end
65
00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:03.310
of this summer. But anyways, thanks for having me. Yes,
66
00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:06.029
it is just you and me until other people perhaps
67
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:09.389
do some sort of crash landing ejected from some sort
68
00:05:09.430 --> 00:05:12.560
of helicopter or Air Force One, whatever the case may be.
69
00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:16.980
Maybe jumping off the deck of a USS aircraft carrier
70
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:17.500
or something.
71
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.500
Perhaps. You really never know these days. Anyways, but yeah,
72
00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:25.300
so lots of interesting stuff. I think we've got some
73
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.399
news that's a couple weeks old, potentially, but it is
74
00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:31.339
very interesting stuff that not a lot of people were
75
00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:34.240
talking about that fits right into all the things you
76
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.800
were discussing. And then maybe if there's breaking current events,
77
00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:40.379
we might cover that later this week. I'm not sure
78
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.850
what we're doing, but maybe. We'll definitely cover it all
79
00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:45.339
on Sunday Wire, at least. Speaking of which, in case
80
00:05:45.379 --> 00:05:49.180
you missed it, the most recent latest breaking geopolitical stuff
81
00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:52.279
was covered by Hesher, and then I came in and
82
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.040
jabbed my gums for a little while, so I assisted
83
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.370
as well as Patrick was out, and Hesher was guest hosting,
84
00:05:58.379 --> 00:05:59.829
and that was fun, so make sure you check that
85
00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:00.629
out in case you missed it.
86
00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:06.250
Yeah, yeah, that was Sunday Wire episode 609. It's up
87
00:06:06.550 --> 00:06:11.329
on our website, AlternateCurrentRadio.com, so hop on over there if
88
00:06:11.350 --> 00:06:14.569
you missed that. If you're interested... Ruckus and I sitting
89
00:06:14.670 --> 00:06:18.329
in along with Basil Valentine for Patrick Henningsen while he
90
00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:22.990
was out living festival life, living his best life at
91
00:06:23.009 --> 00:06:26.180
the Beautiful Days Festival. I'm just joking a little bit.
92
00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:29.319
I'm sure he had to balance some fun and enjoyment
93
00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:32.939
with some journalism, as he usually does. So, yeah, that
94
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.139
was fun filling the seat for him, and I believe
95
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.980
he'll be back this Sunday, so... You'll definitely want to
96
00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:41.060
check us out over there. It'll be cool to hear
97
00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:43.839
his trip report for Sunday Wire coming up this week
98
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.240
for sure. All right, well, I guess we should just
99
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:52.540
jump right into this because this is kind of one
100
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.930
of the important things this week here. Our country is
101
00:06:59.810 --> 00:07:04.470
up to just about $ 40 trillion in debt, $ 40 trillion
102
00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:09.860
and counting. You can find this at Reuters and U.S.
103
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:13.240
News and all over the place. And there's even some
104
00:07:13.939 --> 00:07:20.889
very cringy footage of Treasury Secretary Scott Besant telling us
105
00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:23.769
we're just going to grow our way out of this.
106
00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:29.709
But the national debt passed the $ 40 trillion mark last week.
107
00:07:29.790 --> 00:07:33.379
While the record number is staggering on its face, equally
108
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:37.220
concerning is that the debt More than doubled in just
109
00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:42.839
10 years. So as for reasons why. Some of our
110
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.279
viewers in other countries might be saying. Why? Why is
111
00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:51.490
your country so in debt now? Well you know. Apparently
112
00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:54.269
we like to rack it up. The reasons that they're
113
00:07:54.310 --> 00:07:58.029
giving in the news. The dreaded news feeds are emergency
114
00:07:58.069 --> 00:08:02.750
spending during COVID. Now that was about 7 trillion dollars
115
00:08:02.850 --> 00:08:06.310
if I recall. At least that's. what they printed for it.
116
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.819
I suspect it was a lot more than that. But
117
00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:13.139
they also blame the 2025 tax cuts.
118
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:13.819
Ha!
119
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.920
That's funny to me. That can't be very much. The
120
00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:24.060
increasing age of the American population and retired health care
121
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:32.110
and benefits costs and raising interest rates. Okay, so... Yeah,
122
00:08:32.389 --> 00:08:33.100
everything is.
123
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.860
Expensive. We talked about that on Sunday Wire with Basil.
124
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.610
We were going over the cost of eggs and milk
125
00:08:42.070 --> 00:08:46.110
and just... I don't know, man. It's crazy how expensive
126
00:08:46.149 --> 00:08:49.750
everything has gotten. A trip to the grocery store now
127
00:08:49.990 --> 00:08:54.549
is just ridiculously expensive and you walk away with not
128
00:08:54.629 --> 00:08:57.460
the two giant carts you used to walk away with
129
00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:59.600
for the same amount if you were spending that much money.
130
00:08:59.620 --> 00:08:59.679
So.
131
00:09:02.389 --> 00:09:04.070
I don't know. What are they going to do about it, Ruckus?
132
00:09:04.090 --> 00:09:06.559
What can be done? Are we just going to turn
133
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.759
into a banana republic? I think we kind of know
134
00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:11.460
where this is headed.
135
00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:15.360
Well, if you understand math and the way everything is
136
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.179
currently going and the system and the economy and the
137
00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:25.309
fiat dollar and inflation and geopolitics and everything, reality, check, yo.
138
00:09:26.450 --> 00:09:28.990
These are things that are like Scott Besson and Donald
139
00:09:29.009 --> 00:09:31.440
Trump are not aware of apparently. although they seem to
140
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.539
be apparently allegedly good with money. Could have fooled me.
141
00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:36.860
I guess they're good with their own money. They're not
142
00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:42.399
any good with our money, right? Yeah, no, this is bad.
143
00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:47.450
But guess what? There's nothing you can do. $ 40 trillion
144
00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:50.730
in debt. I like what Elon Musk pointed out. He
145
00:09:50.769 --> 00:09:53.129
said even if all of the billionaires gave up all
146
00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:56.269
of their money, like 100% tax or whatever, right, it
147
00:09:56.289 --> 00:09:58.870
wouldn't even put a dent in this debt. So it's
148
00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:02.159
just like there's literally nothing we can do except just
149
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.539
wait for the rails to completely fall off, I guess.
150
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:07.389
And what does that look like? I guess for some
151
00:10:07.429 --> 00:10:09.370
of us who can remember some of the stories about
152
00:10:09.389 --> 00:10:11.210
what it was like for the folks out here who
153
00:10:11.269 --> 00:10:14.360
had to endure the Great Depression, I'm guessing it's going
154
00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:18.759
to look probably far worse than that, unfortunately. But the
155
00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:22.299
billionaires are still making money, hallelujah. And when everything collapses
156
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.480
around us, they'll be able to dig themselves from out
157
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.399
of their bunkers and have the machines fix everything up
158
00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:29.559
nice and pretty for them and start laying all the
159
00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:32.419
golden eggs again. They'll be fine. They'll be happy. Good
160
00:10:32.450 --> 00:10:33.450
for them, right, Hesher?
161
00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.429
Yeah, they'll have all these new smart cities and all
162
00:10:36.470 --> 00:10:38.870
these new data centers. I mean, it's going to be
163
00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:41.730
awesome for them. It'll be like a cross between Minority
164
00:10:41.769 --> 00:10:44.330
Report and Elysium or something for the rest of us.
165
00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:50.149
We'll be slaving for credits in the drone factory and
166
00:10:50.250 --> 00:10:55.320
the security robot factory probably and getting our papers checked
167
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.539
by cyborgs on the way back to our coom pod
168
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.399
where we're going to put the VR helmets on and
169
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.240
spend the rest of the day before we go back
170
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.070
to the robot slave factory. I mean, it really kind
171
00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:11.950
of seems like they would be just fine with that outcome.
172
00:11:12.889 --> 00:11:14.929
Well, I will point out, because you brought up the
173
00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:18.629
eggs thing again, meaning to point out the fact that
174
00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:22.240
there's plenty of reports and evidence to suggest. I mean,
175
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.000
this is the thing. I get caught doing this all
176
00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:28.169
the time. Like price fixing. So a lot of these
177
00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:30.190
times where we're like, oh, my gosh, the price of
178
00:11:30.269 --> 00:11:32.669
eggs are so high because of the avian flu or
179
00:11:32.710 --> 00:11:35.769
they killed all those birds or they did– that's just
180
00:11:35.809 --> 00:11:40.889
the excuse that allows the food, big pharma, big agri,
181
00:11:40.929 --> 00:11:43.659
big whoever, big fill in the blank to check up
182
00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.340
the prices on you, the consumer, and you just go
183
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.559
along with it because like, well, yeah, those damn egg
184
00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:51.049
prices because of that damn bird flu and everybody is–
185
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.740
they do the same thing with the gas prices, OK?
186
00:11:54.820 --> 00:11:58.220
So– Well, shoot, the cost of everything is high and
187
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.250
the cost of this and food and gas. Well, that's
188
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.110
those damn Iranians. They can't have a nuclear bomb or
189
00:12:04.649 --> 00:12:07.250
whatever it is, right? And it turns out, yeah, they
190
00:12:07.269 --> 00:12:08.990
just are all kind of messing with us because they
191
00:12:09.049 --> 00:12:12.009
use these things as an excuse to drive us into
192
00:12:12.029 --> 00:12:14.769
the dirt. And it's like, why are you doing that
193
00:12:14.809 --> 00:12:17.769
to us? It doesn't seem like a fine way to
194
00:12:17.809 --> 00:12:19.389
make America great at all.
195
00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:23.149
No, it kind of seems like a way to make
196
00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:27.379
the America something great. opposite of great and of course
197
00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:30.340
as Rabo pointed out there I wonder how much of
198
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.399
the 40 trillion could be attributed to Israel since 1938
199
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.200
and how many hundreds of billions of dollars have gone
200
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.570
to Ukraine in the last 12 years like we could
201
00:12:40.610 --> 00:12:42.669
dig some numbers up for sure but I don't think
202
00:12:42.710 --> 00:12:47.470
that they would fully encompass the actual amounts it's you
203
00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:49.929
can spitball at that and even when you spitball it's
204
00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:52.779
just like well wait a minute that's a lot of
205
00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:57.350
money How's that working out? How's my investment working out?
206
00:12:57.409 --> 00:12:58.090
Is that cool?
207
00:12:58.110 --> 00:13:04.649
We can't get it back. We could ask for it back, maybe. Maybe.
208
00:13:04.690 --> 00:13:07.330
We could try, but can we have it back? Let's
209
00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:10.269
just ask right now. It's an official request to the government.
210
00:13:10.570 --> 00:13:12.149
Is there a way we can get that back? Is
211
00:13:12.190 --> 00:13:15.789
there even a means through which to do that?
212
00:13:17.389 --> 00:13:20.470
We'll settle for abolishing AIPAC. How about it?
213
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:27.970
Yeah, sure. we have some concessions we can make. Almost
214
00:13:28.009 --> 00:13:31.830
be more interested in seeing this not happen anymore than
215
00:13:32.110 --> 00:13:35.750
getting the money back. It's not a big ask. It's
216
00:13:35.789 --> 00:13:38.340
not a big ask. We'll see what Besson had to
217
00:13:38.389 --> 00:13:42.740
say here. The $ 40 trillion mark that we passed for
218
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.779
the national debt, would you comment on that and how
219
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:45.320
do we reverse that?
220
00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:55.450
Yeah, look, The $ 40 trillion is a big number. It
221
00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.990
is smaller when we look at the publicly traded amount
222
00:13:59.049 --> 00:14:03.090
because our Social Security funds and other government entities hold
223
00:14:03.169 --> 00:14:06.409
a substantial amount. And what we're going to do, we're
224
00:14:06.429 --> 00:14:08.350
going to have to grow our way out of this.
225
00:14:08.669 --> 00:14:12.809
And as I talked about, at G20 in Asheville, we
226
00:14:12.870 --> 00:14:15.799
are going to talk about the U.S. growth strategy and
227
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.139
encourage the rest of the world to come along with us.
228
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.940
We are also, you know, I announced that Director of
229
00:14:22.490 --> 00:14:26.200
Russ Vogt and I have been tasked with looking at
230
00:14:26.429 --> 00:14:31.100
fiscal consolidation. I think the numbers are not the actual
231
00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:34.100
numbers now. We've had to do substantial tariff refunds due
232
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:39.200
to the court ruling. But with the Section 301 tariffs,
233
00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:43.100
I am confident that we will be back to the
234
00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:46.659
same level, if not higher, of tariff income for last year.
235
00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:47.730
And that is.
236
00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:50.509
Most of the increase in the deficit. And remember, we
237
00:14:50.529 --> 00:14:53.539
did not get here in a day. that we were
238
00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:57.299
left with a mess. The Biden administration had the highest
239
00:14:57.419 --> 00:15:00.860
deficit to GDP in history when we weren't at war
240
00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:04.860
or weren't in a recession. For 2025, we brought it
241
00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:07.750
down by more than a percent.
242
00:15:08.850 --> 00:15:12.149
Weren't at war. I thought Donald Trump in his first
243
00:15:12.210 --> 00:15:15.830
presidency said he was a wartime president and we were
244
00:15:15.889 --> 00:15:19.750
at war with the Cufid. Did I misremember that?
245
00:15:20.570 --> 00:15:23.730
That was the invisible enemy. No, that was correct. I
246
00:15:24.250 --> 00:15:26.490
always wanted to be a wartime president and at the
247
00:15:26.529 --> 00:15:28.370
same time saying, but I'm all about peace and I
248
00:15:28.409 --> 00:15:29.509
hate wars. It was weird.
249
00:15:30.909 --> 00:15:31.649
Okay, so.
250
00:15:31.750 --> 00:15:32.830
Now we know the real truth.
251
00:15:33.149 --> 00:15:36.690
He was the wartime president by his own admission, but
252
00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:41.070
now it's convenient to just rely on the old trope.
253
00:15:41.169 --> 00:15:43.370
We were left a mess. It's not our fault. We
254
00:15:43.409 --> 00:15:45.590
didn't do it. Oh, we had to pay back a
255
00:15:45.629 --> 00:15:49.240
bunch of those bogus tariffs that we added, but. That
256
00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:51.080
added a lot of money, but next year will be
257
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.299
better in tariffs. I mean– and then we're going to
258
00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:56.019
grow our way out of it. What?
259
00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:00.419
And since that clip there from Beth said a couple
260
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.759
other weird things happened, I'm like, what is going on here?
261
00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:07.679
So Trump– what did he say? Holy shoot. I just
262
00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:11.899
totally lost it. All right. Well, OK. The first important
263
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.429
thing is that the news ran wild with a fake
264
00:16:14.470 --> 00:16:16.889
news headline. And I actually found an outlet who's still
265
00:16:16.929 --> 00:16:21.019
running with it. No offense against your news. But there
266
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.899
were big major outlets that ran with this story that
267
00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:26.480
allegedly Scott Bessett was going to dip into what they
268
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.809
lovingly said. adoringly called the Rainy Day Fund. Y'all are
269
00:16:30.850 --> 00:16:31.490
familiar with this?
270
00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:33.389
This is the Rainy Day Fund?
271
00:16:33.669 --> 00:16:37.779
It's the $ 1 trillion cash reserve. It's to fund the
272
00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:40.860
Treasury bond buyback. So he's going to buy back the bonds,
273
00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:46.269
dipping into basically everybody's retirement funds. That's what they– this
274
00:16:46.330 --> 00:16:49.970
is his plan, allegedly, and apparently it was fake news.
275
00:16:50.049 --> 00:16:52.429
But yeah, that's what they were saying is that he
276
00:16:52.470 --> 00:16:54.299
was going to– who was it that ran with it?
277
00:16:54.330 --> 00:16:56.529
So Fox News ran with it. It was the Ingram–
278
00:16:56.629 --> 00:17:00.250
so it was like outlets wrote this article and everybody
279
00:17:00.289 --> 00:17:04.269
picked up on it, but it's not true apparently. So
280
00:17:04.329 --> 00:17:05.970
as far as I can tell, Hesher, this guy still
281
00:17:06.029 --> 00:17:10.099
has no plan. And then Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
282
00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:12.799
Trump did or said something totally off-ball that blew my
283
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.000
effing mind, and it was related– to the economy. And
284
00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:18.480
I can't remember what it was, but we'll come to me,
285
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:18.880
I'm sure.
286
00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:22.700
Sorry about that. Yeah, we'll probably remember while we're along
287
00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:28.740
the path here. Man. So yeah, that's where we're at
288
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:34.160
with the debt. Also mentioned the Hormuz, the Strait of
289
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:39.180
Hormuz and Iran and escalation there. So we've got Trump again,
290
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.720
raising the idea of U.S. control over the Strait of
291
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:48.480
Hormuz as they continue to push the tensions with Iran.
292
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:57.200
Iranian rhetoric, though, says, what are you talking about? How
293
00:17:57.299 --> 00:18:02.220
is that going to work? So, you know, what's the
294
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:08.150
deal here? And we've got the new round of sanctions coming, right?
295
00:18:08.190 --> 00:18:10.190
They say it's going to be the most brutal the
296
00:18:10.230 --> 00:18:12.509
biggest and the best and the most crushing round of
297
00:18:12.569 --> 00:18:15.940
sanctions yet. That was it.
298
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.299
I'm glad you mentioned that because... Like, remember when he
299
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.680
started doing the tariffs, there were smart people coming out
300
00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:25.160
and saying, hey, this is like a tax against the people.
301
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.900
And him and the administration were pushing back against that
302
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.039
and saying, oh, no, that's not how it works. And
303
00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:32.220
people were like, that's how it works. Trump just came
304
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.460
out and said, oh, yes, I understand perfectly that that
305
00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:38.720
this is people are hurting. It's like he's admitting now
306
00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:42.359
that the tariffs that he's imposing are a tax against Americans.
307
00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.940
He's such a lovely person.
308
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.259
Right. They'll finally admit it after it's all happened and
309
00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:51.359
after they've gone so bombastically with it, they have to
310
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.680
send money back. Yeah, price lying. Boy, we talked about
311
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:59.670
that a little bit last week and the new digital
312
00:19:00.170 --> 00:19:03.549
price code thing so they can just punch a few
313
00:19:03.609 --> 00:19:06.789
keys and every Walmart in the state or in the
314
00:19:06.849 --> 00:19:10.049
town can adjust prices or the local one. I mean,
315
00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:13.670
how can we keep up at this point with that
316
00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:16.940
kind of stuff going on? What's up, meaty bear? Good
317
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:23.670
to see you. Morning from Australia. People are power. What's up?
318
00:19:23.710 --> 00:19:25.710
Good morning. Good day.
319
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.980
Things aren't doing well for the Australians from what I understand,
320
00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:33.940
politically speaking. Yeah.
321
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:40.789
So, um... Yeah, this thing with Iran, not looking good,
322
00:19:40.890 --> 00:19:44.289
not looking like it's going to reverse course, not looking
323
00:19:44.309 --> 00:19:46.609
like we can ask for a refund, not looking like
324
00:19:46.650 --> 00:19:49.970
we can even criticize it at this point, people criticizing Iran.
325
00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:54.259
members of the Israeli cabinet are being held up at
326
00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:56.660
customs when they try to come back to the United States,
327
00:19:56.740 --> 00:20:00.920
have their phones taken away, have their luggage removed from
328
00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:05.480
them and forced to sit in rooms and answer questions
329
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.059
about their social media posts. So we've got a lot
330
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:12.880
of that going on too. Um, then we've got, you know,
331
00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:17.039
people being bombastic on purpose and trying to get, uh,
332
00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:21.279
the cops called on them or muddying those waters also.
333
00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:26.319
But hey, free speech is free speech and some people
334
00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:28.849
are testing it. They absolutely have the right to do so,
335
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:34.109
but you know, it's looking like, uh, the machine is
336
00:20:34.150 --> 00:20:36.789
going to respond to people that do it loud enough
337
00:20:37.289 --> 00:20:41.220
and bombastically enough. That's for sure. We discussed that on
338
00:20:41.269 --> 00:20:47.789
Sunday Wire a little bit this week, didn't we? So, yeah,
339
00:20:52.289 --> 00:21:02.539
Trump floats making the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory. What? How?
340
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:09.269
Out of Axios here. President Trump again floated taking over
341
00:21:09.309 --> 00:21:12.039
the Strait of Hormuz as a U.S. territory as the
342
00:21:12.130 --> 00:21:16.339
critical waterway remains a main pain point of the protracted
343
00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:21.740
Iran war. Trump's comments come at a difficult time for
344
00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:25.579
the ongoing conflict with stalled negotiations for a ceasefire and
345
00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:29.319
a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran expiring
346
00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:34.319
very soon. It says on Monday, this came out August 17th,
347
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.180
so that would be what, today?
348
00:21:37.809 --> 00:21:38.829
No, it already expired.
349
00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:40.670
It already expired last Monday then?
350
00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:42.819
Yeah, I think it's been a week now.
351
00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:48.380
Well, I sure didn't see much cease-firing happen there during that,
352
00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:48.759
did you?
353
00:21:49.950 --> 00:21:52.609
No. And correct me if I'm wrong. Trump wouldn't need
354
00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:55.730
to double, triple, quadruple down on his sanctions and try
355
00:21:55.769 --> 00:21:57.869
this economic because that's what they just announced as we're
356
00:21:57.890 --> 00:22:01.210
doing like this economic D-Day or Scott Besson changed the
357
00:22:01.250 --> 00:22:03.319
name of it since then. They just announced it today.
358
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.619
More sanctions against Iran and people doing dealings with them
359
00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:08.180
or whatever.
360
00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:08.440
Right.
361
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.039
We wouldn't do all that if we were like handedly
362
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:17.490
defeating them militarily and we control and own the Strait
363
00:22:17.529 --> 00:22:18.109
of Hormuz.
364
00:22:18.170 --> 00:22:18.329
Right.
365
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.289
We wouldn't need to be like dipping into all of these,
366
00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:26.289
the petroleum gas reserves, as I'm hearing reports happening, which
367
00:22:26.349 --> 00:22:28.869
is making things potentially dangerous because of the way that's
368
00:22:28.910 --> 00:22:31.750
stored inside of the salt mines, which could cave in.
369
00:22:32.269 --> 00:22:35.769
That's not going to be pretty when that happens. Yeah,
370
00:22:35.849 --> 00:22:37.549
you know, so but I mean, but why would we
371
00:22:37.589 --> 00:22:40.730
have to issue sanctions if we've got everything under control
372
00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:45.839
and we own the Strait of Hormuz? It's just our territory, right?
373
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:50.019
Maybe I'm confused. I don't know. Maybe somebody's lying or
374
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.220
they've just, they're, they're confused. Maybe they're the confused one.
375
00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:54.059
Right.
376
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:58.940
Uh, but at the same time, and at the same time,
377
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.859
it's like, maybe we shouldn't, uh, dismiss them so easily
378
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:09.339
because they've already taken over Venezuela, captured the president, held
379
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.720
him for hundreds of days, captured his wife, put Marco
380
00:23:13.789 --> 00:23:18.420
Rubio in charge, apparently, uh, you know, changing names of
381
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.880
gulfs and stuff, threatening Greenland. And, you know, they're even
382
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:28.819
talking about that this week, you know, the North American project,
383
00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:32.700
you know, we want everything from South America to Greenland
384
00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:35.730
or some crap like that. It's just like, what are
385
00:23:35.750 --> 00:23:39.609
you talking about? We can't even afford burritos here in
386
00:23:39.630 --> 00:23:41.890
the United States. What's going to happen when you absorb
387
00:23:42.849 --> 00:23:44.769
First off, how are you going to absorb all these
388
00:23:44.829 --> 00:23:50.210
other places legally? And secondly, even if you could, does
389
00:23:50.230 --> 00:23:53.369
that make our burritos any cheaper? Because I'm not quite
390
00:23:53.430 --> 00:23:56.170
seeing the cheaper burrito factor here.
391
00:23:57.339 --> 00:24:02.500
Anyone who stands in our way clearly is anti-Semitic. You
392
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.599
could easily make an argument for these things.
393
00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:08.460
Yeah. It seems like when you argue the state all
394
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.880
the way down to something, that seems to be the
395
00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:15.579
last– Trump card they got, right? Stop being antiseptic.
396
00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:24.009
Shout out to Kathleen. You guys have a hurricane coming there? Oh, no.
397
00:24:24.609 --> 00:24:30.349
Oh, boy. Sorry to hear that, Kathleen. Goodness gracious, no
398
00:24:30.410 --> 00:24:34.650
one likes a hurricane coming down on them. Best of
399
00:24:34.730 --> 00:24:38.589
luck with that. Let us know how it goes. I
400
00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:42.869
hope you have good storm... Storm seals on the place
401
00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:46.289
you're at. Goodness gracious. I've been in Florida when that
402
00:24:46.329 --> 00:24:49.670
stuff has happened, and it's a little scary. A little scary.
403
00:24:50.789 --> 00:24:53.609
It's a shame we're just all some of the— we' re just
404
00:24:53.710 --> 00:24:56.730
the— not only are we all social reject outcasts, we're like
405
00:24:56.829 --> 00:25:00.130
poor little plebs. Otherwise, we could afford these fancy new services.
406
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:02.319
I've been saying, have you seen this? There are these
407
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:05.839
like little billionaire tech startup companies that will come fly
408
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:08.160
you out of an emergency if you have a natural
409
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.460
disaster because it's next to impossible to rely on the
410
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.359
government or help. And they're right. But you got to
411
00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:17.109
pitch up a pretty penny and reserve a slot. They
412
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.930
promise that they'll come evac you with like this fancy
413
00:25:20.970 --> 00:25:23.009
helicopter thing. You just got to pay them a lot
414
00:25:23.029 --> 00:25:25.500
of money. Maybe we should all pitch in and get
415
00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:27.019
that for Kathleen and her husband.
416
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:27.619
Yeah, really.
417
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.309
But these things exist, apparently. It's pretty wild.
418
00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:36.150
That would be pretty rough for the neighbors, right? The
419
00:25:36.190 --> 00:25:39.009
neighbors are just like, I don't have the helicopter service.
420
00:25:39.029 --> 00:25:40.750
Talk about a way to lose all your friends in
421
00:25:40.769 --> 00:25:43.130
a heartbeat, right? Well, sorry, guys.
422
00:25:43.170 --> 00:25:46.250
Just send the little rope and the rubber seat down,
423
00:25:46.349 --> 00:25:51.230
and you're just like, bye. Bye, guys. Good luck. Don't
424
00:25:51.250 --> 00:25:53.170
you wish you had money like me to get an
425
00:25:53.390 --> 00:25:57.490
emergency evac helicopter? That's what it's.
426
00:25:57.410 --> 00:26:00.250
Going to be like for these billionaires going into their bunkers.
427
00:26:00.789 --> 00:26:02.950
Yeah, we've got a lot of bunker building going on.
428
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.160
Suddenly we all turn into those running zombies we see
429
00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:06.759
in the movies.
430
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.599
Yeah, we had Trump post a map labeling the Strait
431
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:19.369
of Hormuz as U.S. territory. That was pretty good.
432
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:21.609
I think it's the second time he's done that too.
433
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.460
Yeah.
434
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.000
Yep.
435
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:28.470
So yeah, he posted an image of a map labeling
436
00:26:28.490 --> 00:26:32.089
the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory in an effort
437
00:26:32.109 --> 00:26:37.190
to double down on his calls to annex the waterway. Okay,
438
00:26:37.490 --> 00:26:41.690
annex the waterway. So how's that going to work? I'm
439
00:26:41.730 --> 00:26:44.240
so curious. How do you do that without missiles landing
440
00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:50.210
on aircraft carriers and stuff? What is the plan of
441
00:26:50.269 --> 00:26:50.819
attack there?
442
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:56.559
The discombobulator. How about that?
443
00:26:56.900 --> 00:27:02.000
The great discombobulator. Yeah, well, I'm feeling.
444
00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:03.039
I think he's just tripping.
445
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:12.130
I'm feeling discombobulated. All right. Well, speaking of this whole
446
00:27:13.250 --> 00:27:21.190
conflict here, we've got this one as well. The U.S.-Israel
447
00:27:21.970 --> 00:27:26.079
failed to achieve war aims, Iran's top negotiator says. This
448
00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:32.279
is out of Turkey today. Iran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator,
449
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.680
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Sunday that the United States and Israel, quote-unquote,
450
00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:41.930
failed to achieve any of the objectives they set at
451
00:27:41.970 --> 00:27:44.269
the start of their war with Iran, calling it the
452
00:27:44.750 --> 00:27:50.529
greatest absolute defeat for Washington and Tel Aviv. He says, quote,
453
00:27:50.630 --> 00:27:52.730
I say with all my heart that we have truly
454
00:27:52.910 --> 00:27:56.490
won this war. He said that at a media event
455
00:27:56.579 --> 00:28:01.420
in Tehran. Marking Journalists' Day.
456
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:01.779
Huh.
457
00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:04.700
Do we have a Journalists' Day here in the United States, Ruckus?
458
00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:07.400
Do we have journalists here in the United States?
459
00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:10.019
Do we even have journalists? Is that what we're doing
460
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.339
because other people aren't doing it? I'm a little discombobulated
461
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:17.420
about that as well. But, I mean, we've got Pi Day, right?
462
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:20.720
We've got a day for all these various things on
463
00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:23.200
the calendar now. And I just, I don't know if
464
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:25.220
I've ever seen journalist day in the United States.
465
00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:25.539
Hmm.
466
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:33.450
Interesting. Uh, yeah, but he, uh, again said this was
467
00:28:33.490 --> 00:28:37.690
the biggest and most absolute failure of America and the
468
00:28:37.750 --> 00:28:42.029
Zionist regime and a great victory for us. Uh, he
469
00:28:42.069 --> 00:28:46.700
also described the memorandum of understanding signed between the U
470
00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:49.960
S and Iran as, uh, A document of honor and
471
00:28:50.069 --> 00:28:55.910
victory that consolidated Iran's diplomatic success following its military one.
472
00:28:57.809 --> 00:29:01.490
What a very different set of rhetoric we have between
473
00:29:01.529 --> 00:29:04.140
here and the people they're attacking, don't we?
474
00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:07.380
Doesn't seem to be some sort of common ground of
475
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.819
agreement here. It's like, we won. The other side's like,
476
00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:14.809
we won. And it's not even like they're like saying, well,
477
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.250
once I don't know this. They're not even like, no,
478
00:29:18.250 --> 00:29:19.170
you didn't win.
479
00:29:19.190 --> 00:29:19.609
We won.
480
00:29:19.690 --> 00:29:21.589
It's just both sides are just coming out and saying
481
00:29:21.990 --> 00:29:25.170
we won like simultaneously. It's just the strangest thing, dude.
482
00:29:25.289 --> 00:29:25.819
I don't get it.
483
00:29:26.329 --> 00:29:26.630
Yeah.
484
00:29:27.869 --> 00:29:30.190
There's always, of course, the possibility could just be one
485
00:29:30.250 --> 00:29:33.890
giant wrestling show. And we're we're fools for even playing
486
00:29:33.950 --> 00:29:35.269
along with any of it. Who knows?
487
00:29:36.009 --> 00:29:36.269
Right.
488
00:29:36.789 --> 00:29:37.769
I don't know. I'm not there.
489
00:29:38.829 --> 00:29:43.529
You see people saying. that every day seems difficult for
490
00:29:43.549 --> 00:29:47.069
them to prove uh other than the possibility of it
491
00:29:47.150 --> 00:29:49.349
which we can't disprove either.
492
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:52.049
I'm just guessing it's probably hard for even, say, I
493
00:29:52.069 --> 00:29:55.289
don't know, independent reporters to get close enough with eyes, ears,
494
00:29:55.349 --> 00:29:58.950
or drones or anything to get a feel. Like, wow,
495
00:29:58.990 --> 00:30:00.650
you could look it up on the trackers and the
496
00:30:00.690 --> 00:30:03.849
shipping things online and the satellite images. And I'm just
497
00:30:03.890 --> 00:30:07.589
standing here with my fists on my hip just staring
498
00:30:07.609 --> 00:30:09.809
at you like, mm-hmm.
499
00:30:10.130 --> 00:30:10.349
Really?
500
00:30:11.750 --> 00:30:13.930
Have you ever used the Internet before? Are you familiar
501
00:30:13.970 --> 00:30:16.329
at all with artificial intelligence? Did you realize that there's
502
00:30:16.410 --> 00:30:20.680
quite a handy, hefty amount of things that they can fake? Like,
503
00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:23.500
are you kidding me? Get out of here with that. Yeah,
504
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:24.500
it was wild.
505
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:29.380
Yeah, yeah. So this whole thing is going to just
506
00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:34.349
keep going here. What's this about nuke attack claims also?
507
00:30:34.390 --> 00:30:35.569
Did you see this one, Ruckus?
508
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:39.539
M.T.G. I think this she's the source of this. But
509
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:43.299
Marjorie Taylor Greene, of course, take all that with a
510
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:43.920
grain of salt.
511
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.299
Yeah.
512
00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:48.369
So, yeah, she was running around making the rounds and
513
00:30:48.390 --> 00:30:51.029
other outlets picked it up. But according to her, according
514
00:30:51.069 --> 00:30:53.670
to her sources. Well, actually, I think according to her
515
00:30:53.789 --> 00:30:55.849
that she was in. No, I think it's somebody. I
516
00:30:56.349 --> 00:30:58.769
don't remember the chain of command or the information, but
517
00:30:58.809 --> 00:31:02.960
it's coming from her. That allegedly inside recent meetings that
518
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.200
there is on the table that they're just openly discussing, well,
519
00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:09.880
we're just going to nuke Iran. And, you know, I'm like, again,
520
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.920
why would we have to have these options if we've
521
00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.779
already won the war?
522
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:13.000
Right.
523
00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:16.990
I mean, we destroyed their Navy, according to Trump, quite
524
00:31:17.009 --> 00:31:19.809
a number of times, depending on who you talk to,
525
00:31:19.849 --> 00:31:23.230
I guess. Wild stuff. But, yeah, she's saying that we
526
00:31:23.269 --> 00:31:26.210
could just pull out a nuke and use it. I'm
527
00:31:26.309 --> 00:31:28.710
guessing the rest of the world would probably not just
528
00:31:28.730 --> 00:31:32.460
sit back and say, yeah, that's cool. I don't know though.
529
00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:35.859
Maybe at this point, who knows? I mean, we all
530
00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:38.200
kind of sat on our asses during the pandemic. Nobody
531
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.049
really stood up against that strong enough to prevent all
532
00:31:41.069 --> 00:31:43.789
of that happening. So who knows? Maybe everyone will just
533
00:31:43.809 --> 00:31:47.150
be like, yeah, whatever. Us is just running around bullying people.
534
00:31:47.210 --> 00:31:49.250
Now they're just nuking the shit out of everyone. It's fine.
535
00:31:49.670 --> 00:31:52.549
Right. Long as Netflix stays on, they'll be okay with it.
536
00:31:52.650 --> 00:31:56.130
You know, um, Yeah, in a post on X, Greene
537
00:31:56.210 --> 00:31:59.950
claimed that Trump administration officials are discussing the possible use
538
00:32:00.130 --> 00:32:04.029
of nuclear weapons against Iran. She wrote, quote, they're discussing
539
00:32:04.130 --> 00:32:07.500
using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings. Yes, you
540
00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:10.480
read that correctly. It's real. I'm not speculating. I know,
541
00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:14.799
end quote. So she put that out there. But, you know,
542
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:20.029
of course, the dreaded mass media cartel is saying there's
543
00:32:20.069 --> 00:32:23.930
no evidence of this. There's nothing to see here. Maybe
544
00:32:23.950 --> 00:32:24.309
they're right.
545
00:32:24.390 --> 00:32:24.809
I don't know.
546
00:32:26.509 --> 00:32:27.890
Wouldn't be able to speculate.
547
00:32:27.910 --> 00:32:30.759
My favorite part is that if anybody around the planet
548
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.259
who happens to have one sets one off, well, they
549
00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:37.420
could tell us it was anything and anybody. We would
550
00:32:37.460 --> 00:32:38.440
never really know, would we?
551
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:41.259
Yeah, you know, it's like the.
552
00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:43.819
I don't have access to like the information. And then
553
00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:46.900
we do a survey and count and figure out, OK, Russia,
554
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.130
you're missing one. It was you, you know?
555
00:32:49.349 --> 00:32:49.589
Yeah.
556
00:32:50.009 --> 00:32:50.390
Totally.
557
00:32:50.470 --> 00:32:54.049
It's like the plot of that Obama-produced movie on Netflix.
558
00:32:54.109 --> 00:32:58.289
They have a giant EMP. The whole country loses power
559
00:32:58.349 --> 00:33:01.470
and starts to go down, and it's like a leaflet.
560
00:33:02.390 --> 00:33:05.230
Different batches of leaflets are dropped on different towns. So
561
00:33:05.329 --> 00:33:07.549
one town thinks that the North Koreans did it. One
562
00:33:07.589 --> 00:33:10.910
town thinks extremists in the country did it. The town
563
00:33:10.950 --> 00:33:14.109
next to them thinks China did it. It's just like
564
00:33:15.109 --> 00:33:15.650
pure confusion.
565
00:33:15.670 --> 00:33:17.190
It's Twitter in real life, right?
566
00:33:17.549 --> 00:33:17.819
Yep.
567
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:18.539
Social media.
568
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:27.900
Yeah. Exactly. Let's pivot to Elon here. We've got Elon
569
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:32.400
Musk's new Texas factory will be the largest building on Earth,
570
00:33:33.539 --> 00:33:36.900
if all goes according to plan. So, great. That's coming
571
00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:39.369
to Texas, huh? Elon Musk.
572
00:33:39.470 --> 00:33:40.970
Overcompensating for something?
573
00:33:40.990 --> 00:33:44.650
Yeah, really? The rockets aren't enough, Elon?
574
00:33:45.789 --> 00:33:48.619
It does look like a giant double-ended schlong, too, by
575
00:33:48.630 --> 00:33:48.869
the way.
576
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.900
Right? Elon Musk is expanding his Texas tech empire, and
577
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.380
apparently this next phase will be his biggest yet. The
578
00:33:56.420 --> 00:34:00.690
billionaire SpaceX and Tesla CEO has set plans in motion
579
00:34:00.730 --> 00:34:05.369
to build a colossal factory serving the two companies in
580
00:34:05.549 --> 00:34:11.670
Grimes County, Texas. As Fortune magazine reports, TerraFab is slated
581
00:34:11.769 --> 00:34:15.489
to top 100 million square feet. And if the project
582
00:34:15.510 --> 00:34:19.610
finishes as planned, it'll exceed Tesla's roughly 10 million square
583
00:34:19.670 --> 00:34:23.170
foot factory in Texas. It will also be more than
584
00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:27.280
five times the size of the new Century Global Center
585
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:31.139
in Chengdu, China, which currently holds the title for world's
586
00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:36.699
largest building at 18.9 million square feet. So he's going
587
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:43.019
to plus that up by... By 31% or something like that,
588
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:47.920
or 70%. Jeez. Okay, so TerraFab, what is it? Will
589
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:53.170
reportedly function as a joint supply chain for SpaceX and Tesla.
590
00:34:54.949 --> 00:34:55.570
Alrighty then.
591
00:34:55.590 --> 00:35:00.190
I think people are going to live and work there too, right?
592
00:35:00.389 --> 00:35:00.590
Right.
593
00:35:00.630 --> 00:35:04.949
Are they going to sell? Can we rent there? That
594
00:35:04.969 --> 00:35:08.380
would be so neat to live in Tesla land. They're
595
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.260
going to vertically integrate a chip factory. So they say
596
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:17.940
they have vertical integration, combining logic, memory, and advanced packaging
597
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:22.500
under one roof. Also produce AI chips for millions of
598
00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:29.570
Tesla Optimus robots. Millions, you say? Space projects, like establishing
599
00:35:29.630 --> 00:35:32.969
a factory on the moon. And I thought we were
600
00:35:32.989 --> 00:35:35.110
going to grow our way out of our financial problems.
601
00:35:35.150 --> 00:35:40.239
Why are we making factories on the moon? Solar-generated power. So, yeah,
602
00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:44.829
all the stuff, all the things, all the AI, all
603
00:35:44.849 --> 00:35:48.789
the self-driving cars, the millions of Optimus robots. We need
604
00:35:48.829 --> 00:35:51.829
a Terafab building for that here in Texas, I suppose.
605
00:35:51.849 --> 00:35:57.320
I believe Elon, in one of his comments somewhere, referred
606
00:35:57.360 --> 00:35:59.179
to it as a sci-fi city.
607
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:04.800
Great. Great. Just what we need in Texas.
608
00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:08.309
This is all like, what is this really for? Why
609
00:36:08.329 --> 00:36:12.909
do they need millions of Optimus robots? Come on. Come on.
610
00:36:12.909 --> 00:36:13.809
You're not fooling me.
611
00:36:14.190 --> 00:36:18.570
Millions of them? I mean, for people that can't afford
612
00:36:18.590 --> 00:36:23.639
their groceries, you're going to make millions of robots. Something
613
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:24.900
doesn't make sense there.
614
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.099
Because somebody needs to do the math and figure out
615
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.360
a couple things how many robots do they need to
616
00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:33.400
completely eliminate all of us like have them kill us
617
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:36.389
terminator style or how many robots do they need and
618
00:36:36.489 --> 00:36:39.190
or how many do they need to replace us after
619
00:36:39.230 --> 00:36:41.130
whatever happens to us happens to us.
620
00:36:41.469 --> 00:36:46.360
Oh boy yeah uh no longer the goose that lays
621
00:36:46.420 --> 00:36:51.590
the golden egg perhaps maybe And then we've got Big Bend.
622
00:36:51.789 --> 00:36:56.389
What's going on at Big Bend? Alpine, Texas. Months after
623
00:36:56.449 --> 00:36:59.900
Congress approved billions for infrastructure across one of the least
624
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.440
trafficked stretches of the southern border, bulldozers arrived at Big
625
00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:10.679
Bend National Park, West Texas' wild crown jewel. What followed
626
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:15.199
was an unlikely revolt against President Trump's decade-old promise to
627
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:24.929
build a wall. Cattle ranchers, environmentalists, sheriffs, Republican senators, and
628
00:37:25.769 --> 00:37:30.989
country singers united around a distinctly Texas argument. Secure the border,
629
00:37:31.489 --> 00:37:35.469
but don't tread on us. So images of bulldozers scraping
630
00:37:35.570 --> 00:37:41.130
through the 801 plus thousand acre expanse of Big Bend
631
00:37:41.170 --> 00:37:44.789
National Park, which is a preserve larger than the state
632
00:37:44.949 --> 00:37:49.309
of Rhode Island All these pictures erupted across social media,
633
00:37:49.349 --> 00:37:52.750
turning a construction project into one of America's most remote
634
00:37:53.349 --> 00:37:59.500
landscapes into a political flashpoint. So, yeah, what's going on here, man?
635
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.820
What are they trying to do in Big Bend?
636
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.139
I don't know, but they cut us off from Mother
637
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:08.469
Earth and they say, oh, you need our permission to
638
00:38:08.530 --> 00:38:10.489
be here or to fish or to hunt or do
639
00:38:10.530 --> 00:38:14.090
all these terrible things when it's just nature. And then, like,
640
00:38:14.130 --> 00:38:15.909
to preserve it and keep it pretty, they have all
641
00:38:15.929 --> 00:38:19.250
these rules and regulations. But the rules are for we
642
00:38:19.349 --> 00:38:21.949
and not for them, apparently, right? They're like, well, whatever.
643
00:38:21.989 --> 00:38:24.659
We need a– we got a contract. I mean, did
644
00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:27.099
you see– is it the amount of money? There was, like,
645
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:29.940
this insane amount of money that was awarded to this
646
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:33.920
one contractor. It was like, what the F? I mean, again, and, like,
647
00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:37.579
the country's in debt and all this stuff, and it's
648
00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:42.150
just spend, spend, spend, and– It's either a military project
649
00:38:42.670 --> 00:38:45.809
disguised as some sort of national security thing related to
650
00:38:45.829 --> 00:38:49.360
the border, or it's some vanity project for Trump. Usually
651
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.099
it's a combination of all those things, right? Yeah. But
652
00:38:52.139 --> 00:38:53.800
it's the taxpayer dollars. It's crazy.
653
00:38:53.820 --> 00:38:56.039
So CBP recorded just above 3,000 people, like 3,100 people
654
00:38:56.059 --> 00:38:58.260
apprehended in the sector last year, which is about 1.3%
655
00:38:58.260 --> 00:39:12.980
of all Southwest border arrests. Um, and as far as
656
00:39:13.019 --> 00:39:14.679
that amount of money you're talking.
657
00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:16.400
About, it says 1%.
658
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:19.960
Yeah. 1.3%. So they're going to spend all this money
659
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:25.860
under the, you know, probably fake auspice that, they're going
660
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:31.199
to catch, what, 3,300 people maybe a year. And as
661
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:35.349
far as the money goes, with total border security awards
662
00:39:35.409 --> 00:39:38.409
across the Big Bend sector amounting $ 7. 5 billion, which is
663
00:39:38.429 --> 00:39:41.730
roughly $ 14. 5 million in contracts granted for every mile of
664
00:39:41.849 --> 00:39:57.010
border in the sector. Okay. So again, you know, on
665
00:39:57.070 --> 00:39:58.789
Sunday Wire, we were talking about a town here in
666
00:39:58.829 --> 00:40:03.369
Texas that didn't have any water after some storm damage,
667
00:40:03.489 --> 00:40:06.050
you know, and the people have gone without water there
668
00:40:06.090 --> 00:40:08.369
for a long time. But hey, we got plenty of
669
00:40:08.429 --> 00:40:12.150
federal money to do whatever they're doing in the Big
670
00:40:12.210 --> 00:40:16.010
Bend National Park. Our friend Greg Stoker, who's running for
671
00:40:16.050 --> 00:40:19.800
Congress in District 31 here in Texas, went out there
672
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.809
and did some stuff on it. So If you want
673
00:40:22.829 --> 00:40:26.349
to learn more, we'll put a link to his website
674
00:40:26.550 --> 00:40:32.760
and his social media on tonight's show page at AlternateCurrentRadio.com
675
00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:35.139
because he went out there and took some of his
676
00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:38.309
own footage and talked to people and had some interesting
677
00:40:38.349 --> 00:40:42.269
things to say. But this is disturbing, man. Like you said,
678
00:40:42.329 --> 00:40:44.230
you know, they tell us we can't take our dogs
679
00:40:44.309 --> 00:40:46.670
off the paths there. We can't do all these things.
680
00:40:46.769 --> 00:40:50.039
And National parks, but hey, the government can come in
681
00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:53.139
and just throw $ 7. 5 billion at it and do whatever
682
00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:55.429
the heck they want, whatever their ends are for this.
683
00:40:55.489 --> 00:40:59.769
And carbon credits and limiting your water over the endangered salmon, fish,
684
00:40:59.829 --> 00:41:00.730
or whatever, right?
685
00:41:01.269 --> 00:41:03.409
Yeah. Yeah.
686
00:41:03.610 --> 00:41:05.449
While turning the frogs gay, right, Alex?
687
00:41:05.469 --> 00:41:11.210
Yeah. Yeah, what about the environmental studies? My goodness.
688
00:41:12.610 --> 00:41:15.260
Speaking of all that, by the way, kind of related
689
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.119
to the other thing we were just speaking of, we
690
00:41:17.139 --> 00:41:19.239
don't give an F about the environment anymore all of
691
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.739
a sudden. Another thing they're doing is they're going to
692
00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:26.000
release some rules and regulations that they never do during summer.
693
00:41:26.019 --> 00:41:29.190
Usually they wait until winter to do this. That will
694
00:41:29.329 --> 00:41:31.909
it's going to basically create a bunch of smog. There's
695
00:41:31.949 --> 00:41:34.250
like this this little rule that they want to bypass
696
00:41:34.289 --> 00:41:37.159
just to to give Americans some relief with their gas.
697
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.420
It's a gas thing, but it's going to be really
698
00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:42.719
bad for the environment and bad for people's health. It's
699
00:41:42.739 --> 00:41:45.380
probably going to be lung problems and stuff coming out
700
00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:48.659
and just right at the right time. Just saying, don't
701
00:41:48.699 --> 00:41:51.639
be surprised if suddenly everybody's coughing and sick and whatever,
702
00:41:51.699 --> 00:41:54.969
and it's like, oh, there's probably some new scary mutant
703
00:41:55.150 --> 00:41:59.190
disease out there we should probably all jab up over, right? Yeah. Ridiculous.
704
00:41:59.949 --> 00:42:01.789
It's all related, folks, is what I'm saying.
705
00:42:02.869 --> 00:42:09.030
Yeah. Speaking of related, here we go. Humanoid war robots
706
00:42:09.110 --> 00:42:14.449
could soon patrol U.S. southern border to combat weaponized migrant flows. Hmm.
707
00:42:15.179 --> 00:42:17.750
What the F? Who weaponizes the migrant flows?
708
00:42:20.309 --> 00:42:22.650
I'm sorry. Hold on. Never in my life have I
709
00:42:22.710 --> 00:42:25.610
heard those words used in that combination like that. Just
710
00:42:25.630 --> 00:42:26.280
want to point it out.
711
00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:26.590
Never.
712
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:27.360
That's crazy.
713
00:42:27.469 --> 00:42:27.800
Yeah.
714
00:42:28.989 --> 00:42:35.119
So physical AI and humanoid robots moving beyond the factory
715
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.619
floors and folding laundry in homes, right? That's what we're
716
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:43.250
thinking for our optimists as well. U.S.-based Foundation Robotics is
717
00:42:43.289 --> 00:42:49.030
now discussing potential national security deployments of its Phantom humanoid
718
00:42:49.090 --> 00:42:56.039
robot along the southern border. Huh. Maybe Phantom humanoid robots
719
00:42:56.079 --> 00:43:02.760
can collect more than 3,100 weaponized migrants. Is that what
720
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:08.530
they're calling them now? So Fox News reporters spoke with
721
00:43:08.570 --> 00:43:16.510
CEO Sankit Pathak, who said the U.S.-based startup, which develops
722
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:20.710
humanoid robots for industrial and military applications, has already demonstrated
723
00:43:20.730 --> 00:43:24.090
the capabilities of its Phantom Mark I robots to the
724
00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:29.210
DHS for border deployment. He says, quote, we're in conversations
725
00:43:29.269 --> 00:43:35.090
with almost all national security government bodies, so Air Force, Navy, Army, DHS.
726
00:43:35.789 --> 00:43:39.409
We continue to have dialogues. We're starting to negotiate contracts.
727
00:43:40.030 --> 00:43:47.159
and some applications for them. So, that's right. Humanoid war
728
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:51.480
robots coming soon to a southern border near us.
729
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:54.599
Is that to keep people from coming in or to
730
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:57.090
keep us from going out? I know it says weaponized
731
00:43:57.170 --> 00:44:01.889
migrant flows, but that doesn't tell me anything. No. Which
732
00:44:01.969 --> 00:44:03.289
way is the migration happening?
733
00:44:03.550 --> 00:44:07.989
Yeah, and what does migration have to do with the Navy...
734
00:44:08.170 --> 00:44:12.269
And the Army, DHS, obviously, CBP is under DHS, but
735
00:44:12.289 --> 00:44:14.789
we're talking Air Force, Navy, Army. We're talking the whole
736
00:44:14.809 --> 00:44:19.769
military here, potentially. We don't know. They're in negotiations, whatever
737
00:44:19.809 --> 00:44:23.929
that means. He says the Phantom Mark I is designed
738
00:44:23.949 --> 00:44:27.469
to navigate rugged terrain that can be difficult for vehicles, drones,
739
00:44:27.610 --> 00:44:31.590
and fixed cameras. He said potential deployment missions could center
740
00:44:31.710 --> 00:44:37.090
on monitoring remote border areas, inspecting tunnels, and flagging migrants.
741
00:44:37.889 --> 00:44:42.610
Crossings it's difficult for all that technology but obviously allegedly
742
00:44:42.670 --> 00:44:46.579
not difficult enough for humans humans win again haha in
743
00:44:46.619 --> 00:44:53.030
your face terminator oh boy i don't know that gives
744
00:44:53.050 --> 00:44:54.329
me hope i guess.
745
00:44:55.510 --> 00:44:56.469
Isn't the 21st century fun.
746
00:44:58.969 --> 00:45:01.690
Unless they're lying. They just want us to think. I
747
00:45:02.389 --> 00:45:04.969
do wonder about that sometimes. If they put out these, like, well,
748
00:45:05.380 --> 00:45:08.679
the technology is not quite there yet.
749
00:45:09.500 --> 00:45:15.179
Let's scare the crap out of everybody. Yep, and then
750
00:45:15.219 --> 00:45:18.849
we move to this one. Hundreds of U.S. government drones
751
00:45:18.909 --> 00:45:22.170
have switched from border surveillance to a different surveillance mission
752
00:45:22.230 --> 00:45:26.940
this summer looking for signs of Screw worm infestations in
753
00:45:27.019 --> 00:45:32.380
wild animals and livestock herds. The flesh-eating new world screw
754
00:45:32.460 --> 00:45:35.409
worm is the parasitic larva that emerges from eggs laid
755
00:45:35.449 --> 00:45:39.269
by flies in the open. Wounds or body openings of
756
00:45:39.369 --> 00:45:45.250
warm-blooded animals and humans. Ew. Untreated cases potentially leading to
757
00:45:45.289 --> 00:45:48.389
severe injury or death. Since the first screw worm cases
758
00:45:48.409 --> 00:45:51.570
were detected in South Texas in June, which we covered
759
00:45:51.650 --> 00:45:54.630
on the show, I remember that. U.S. Department of Ag
760
00:45:54.670 --> 00:45:58.050
and U.S. CBP have been conducting one of, quote, the
761
00:45:58.110 --> 00:46:02.650
most exhaustive animal health surveillance operations in the country. Oh, boy.
762
00:46:03.389 --> 00:46:07.269
Animal surveillance with drones. No wonder we need the war
763
00:46:07.309 --> 00:46:10.190
robots to watch the border. All our drones are doing
764
00:46:10.409 --> 00:46:13.449
animal surveillance. Do you think that a drone can see
765
00:46:13.489 --> 00:46:15.570
an animal with a screw worm in it? I mean,
766
00:46:15.610 --> 00:46:17.019
how does this even work?
767
00:46:18.099 --> 00:46:23.510
Well, which particular animal is it tracking? Moo.
768
00:46:23.590 --> 00:46:26.630
Yeah, the ones they don't want us eating anymore, right?
769
00:46:27.349 --> 00:46:29.369
Isn't that interesting? But why is it always cow? Why
770
00:46:29.389 --> 00:46:32.280
is it always cattle? I mean, because they consider us cattle,
771
00:46:32.300 --> 00:46:34.139
don't they? They refer to us as cattle.
772
00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:37.800
Yeah, and didn't Trump say something this last week about
773
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:40.679
shut up and it doesn't matter if we can't get
774
00:46:40.739 --> 00:46:44.190
meat here, we'll just bring in Argentinian beef? I recall
775
00:46:44.230 --> 00:46:44.809
something like that.
776
00:46:44.829 --> 00:46:47.030
Well, I'm glad you brought that up. That's like breaking
777
00:46:47.070 --> 00:46:50.489
news today. Everybody's pissed off. The American ranchers in particular
778
00:46:50.510 --> 00:46:53.250
are pissed off because, yeah, he's sticking it to the
779
00:46:53.309 --> 00:46:56.400
American ranchers. He's going instead with the Argentinian beef. Not
780
00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:59.900
necessarily because, well, actually, he literally came out and said
781
00:46:59.940 --> 00:47:04.219
it's because he's a friend of Millet, who may or
782
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:08.889
may not be. Yeah, we're not going to go there. But, yeah,
783
00:47:08.949 --> 00:47:12.250
he has an interesting past. Do your own research. Buyer beware.
784
00:47:13.059 --> 00:47:15.869
to each their own. Your results may vary on that one,
785
00:47:15.949 --> 00:47:20.170
but yeah, he's an interesting dude. But yes, they're going
786
00:47:20.190 --> 00:47:26.530
to bring in beef from Argentina, and they're not necessarily
787
00:47:26.550 --> 00:47:29.820
going to tell you or have to tell you on
788
00:47:29.860 --> 00:47:31.760
the labels and the food when you buy it where
789
00:47:31.780 --> 00:47:35.369
it came from. That's always fun. Also, you may or
790
00:47:35.429 --> 00:47:38.150
you may not run into some news stories about how
791
00:47:38.230 --> 00:47:42.159
just not that long ago, China absolutely refused to import
792
00:47:42.219 --> 00:47:45.400
any beef from Argentina after it was discovered it was
793
00:47:45.980 --> 00:47:48.909
like toxic, rotten and poisoned. And they were like, nope.
794
00:47:49.590 --> 00:47:53.260
But come on in. We're happy to take it over here, Hesher.
795
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:57.380
I'm sure McDonald's and Burger King and, well, I mean,
796
00:47:57.460 --> 00:47:59.159
do they even use beef at all?
797
00:47:59.699 --> 00:48:03.679
Yeah, they'll just mix it with some ground-up cockroaches and
798
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:07.019
some horse meat, you know, or something like that. Maybe
799
00:48:07.059 --> 00:48:10.760
some lab meat and put it in a Whopper or whatever.
800
00:48:10.820 --> 00:48:15.469
It's fine. Don't worry about it. FDA approved. Good for you.
801
00:48:16.409 --> 00:48:18.269
They might as well just come out and say that, right?
802
00:48:18.889 --> 00:48:19.730
It's good for you.
803
00:48:19.809 --> 00:48:20.079
Eat it.
804
00:48:20.090 --> 00:48:23.809
All right.
805
00:48:23.989 --> 00:48:26.610
And they put everybody in a bind, didn't they? They're like, well,
806
00:48:26.650 --> 00:48:28.309
no one wants to eat any of the lettuce or
807
00:48:28.329 --> 00:48:31.750
the vegetables because they're going to get explosive diarrhea. No
808
00:48:31.769 --> 00:48:34.429
one wants to eat the meat because it could come
809
00:48:34.449 --> 00:48:36.789
from Argentina or it might have screw worms in it
810
00:48:36.849 --> 00:48:39.929
or something, right? Was that leave chicken? Oh, well, we
811
00:48:39.949 --> 00:48:43.440
already know the chicken problem there. That's a problem. Salmonella
812
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:46.179
all the time and whatnot. So I guess what's left
813
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:47.760
to eat? Oh, the bugs.
814
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.829
The bugs. Yeah, the soy.
815
00:48:50.909 --> 00:48:52.829
Plus their 3D printed food.
816
00:48:53.469 --> 00:48:56.250
Yeah. I saw another one. I don't have it to hand,
817
00:48:56.269 --> 00:48:58.570
but I saw another one this week about them approving
818
00:48:59.469 --> 00:49:01.300
lab-made eggs, like fake eggs.
819
00:49:02.739 --> 00:49:04.159
How the F do you even do that?
820
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:08.960
I guess you print it with some goo, some slave
821
00:49:09.019 --> 00:49:11.650
goo of some sort. I have no idea, honestly.
822
00:49:11.690 --> 00:49:13.840
Yeah, and I think Photon posted this story on her
823
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:16.760
Discord server earlier about 3D-printed cookies.
824
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:18.210
All right.
825
00:49:18.570 --> 00:49:18.769
Yum.
826
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:24.099
I mean, I don't know. Maybe our universal high basic
827
00:49:24.139 --> 00:49:27.590
income will come with little sludge packets we can eat.
828
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:29.469
You just enjoy the sludge.
829
00:49:30.469 --> 00:49:33.289
You know why they call it universal high basic income, Hector?
830
00:49:33.309 --> 00:49:34.469
Because it comes with free sludge?
831
00:49:35.230 --> 00:49:36.829
No, because you have to be high to think that's
832
00:49:36.889 --> 00:49:37.630
actually going to happen.
833
00:49:38.820 --> 00:49:41.039
It's for the people that are high enough to believe
834
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:45.969
it's a high income. Okay, that makes sense. You know,
835
00:49:46.010 --> 00:49:50.110
I've been hearing a lot of stories, Ruckus, about, especially
836
00:49:50.210 --> 00:49:53.409
in the big cities of America where people have a
837
00:49:53.489 --> 00:49:59.019
legit emergency. You know, someone's breaking their door down. Someone's injured.
838
00:49:59.699 --> 00:50:04.900
They call the 911s and no one answers. That's not great.
839
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:09.840
So what could we possibly do To fix that, well,
840
00:50:09.929 --> 00:50:13.829
New Orleans has been thinking about fixing it. They've turned
841
00:50:13.909 --> 00:50:20.429
to AI to field 911 calls. Oh, what could possibly
842
00:50:20.489 --> 00:50:23.050
go wrong? I mean, could it go any worse than
843
00:50:23.110 --> 00:50:27.280
no one answering? Well, due to a personnel and employee shortage,
844
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:31.619
911 operators across the U.S. are turning to AI to
845
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:36.519
field calls. The Orleans Parish Communication District in Louisiana is
846
00:50:36.579 --> 00:50:39.219
one of the most recent districts in the country to
847
00:50:39.260 --> 00:50:44.190
adopt the new technology. The local agency is using Carbine's
848
00:50:44.730 --> 00:50:50.070
AI emergency call triage, a system that will analyze and
849
00:50:50.130 --> 00:50:58.239
prioritize emergency calls. Wow. They say they've had no false
850
00:50:58.300 --> 00:51:01.800
positives and no false negatives, meaning the AI handled the
851
00:51:01.820 --> 00:51:05.190
call's As it should have handled and didn't try to
852
00:51:05.230 --> 00:51:08.889
handle any it shouldn't have tried to handle. So they
853
00:51:08.969 --> 00:51:13.590
say it works great by our product. Go figure.
854
00:51:15.050 --> 00:51:16.429
Did you say carbine?
855
00:51:16.889 --> 00:51:17.289
Yeah.
856
00:51:18.769 --> 00:51:20.530
Where have I heard this name before?
857
00:51:20.550 --> 00:51:24.679
I don't know. They spell it kind of funny. C-A-R-B-Y-N-E.
858
00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:27.500
Oh, it is the one I'm thinking of.
859
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:28.360
Oh, yes.
860
00:51:29.670 --> 00:51:34.530
So it's an Israeli-owned tech company that has their fingers
861
00:51:34.610 --> 00:51:37.550
in a lot of things, apparently. I had no idea
862
00:51:37.570 --> 00:51:41.280
they were involved with this, too. That's shocking to me.
863
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:44.880
Give me a minute on this one.
864
00:51:45.059 --> 00:51:47.559
Funny how that seems to happen.
865
00:51:47.579 --> 00:51:49.500
I wasn't expecting to hear that one, yeah.
866
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:54.679
Yeah, often when we talk about technocratic, globalist surveillance and
867
00:51:54.739 --> 00:51:59.320
control systems and AI overreach, it's odd. How often it
868
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:07.369
ends up with a little, you know, footnote like this one. Exactly.
869
00:52:07.530 --> 00:52:11.590
So I thought it was Axon. So Axon acquired Carbine.
870
00:52:12.469 --> 00:52:16.949
So this company that handles the 911 calls in Louisiana
871
00:52:17.429 --> 00:52:19.789
was just recently acquired like at the end of last
872
00:52:19.829 --> 00:52:24.119
year by Axon, which is a huge company. uh, police
873
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:27.599
body scanner camera where they do all the police surveillance
874
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:29.949
tech shit. And they took over when everybody was mad
875
00:52:29.989 --> 00:52:32.510
about the flock cameras. And now the contract's been renewed
876
00:52:32.530 --> 00:52:36.110
with axon. Um, so yeah, it's all, yeah, yeah. And
877
00:52:36.150 --> 00:52:39.010
I was right. It's a, it's a new, yeah. Anyways,
878
00:52:39.690 --> 00:52:40.809
it all comes full circle.
879
00:52:42.050 --> 00:52:45.610
So if you watch any police activity, uh, videos, stuff
880
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.519
like that, remember back in the day we had cops,
881
00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:49.800
but these days we have police activity and things like that.
882
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:53.150
lot of that footage comes from the body worn cameras.
883
00:52:53.349 --> 00:52:55.510
Those you'll, if you watch that footage, it always says
884
00:52:56.289 --> 00:52:58.329
Axon up at the top, it's got their logo. So
885
00:52:58.349 --> 00:53:02.489
they're consolidating, uh, a lot of this law enforcement type
886
00:53:02.550 --> 00:53:05.789
of tech into Axon clearly. And there you go.
887
00:53:05.809 --> 00:53:09.730
Uh, And by the way, somebody in our Discord chat
888
00:53:09.829 --> 00:53:12.030
brought up a point that I'd like to make. They're
889
00:53:12.050 --> 00:53:14.989
saying that Whitney Webb and obviously others, but Whitney Webb
890
00:53:15.010 --> 00:53:16.929
in particular has been talking about stuff like this and
891
00:53:16.949 --> 00:53:20.179
these companies and the 911 and the AI. Myself, I've
892
00:53:20.460 --> 00:53:24.579
even reported about this stuff. But now it's mainstream. this
893
00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:28.039
is all mainstream news talking points. You talk about it
894
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:31.130
with your friends and your family and your coworkers. That
895
00:53:31.210 --> 00:53:32.949
is new. You know what I mean? This stuff was
896
00:53:32.989 --> 00:53:35.190
all like, kind of like whispered about or things that
897
00:53:35.210 --> 00:53:36.780
they might be doing or they could be doing now.
898
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:39.440
It's just like, they're out and about talking about it. And,
899
00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:42.400
and literally like, like it's a cool, like it's a
900
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:44.949
good thing. I just watched, um, Because I get the
901
00:53:45.150 --> 00:53:47.539
YouTube feeds from New Mexico because I used to live
902
00:53:47.579 --> 00:53:50.940
in Albuquerque, and they were talking about how they're implementing
903
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:54.039
AI in the school systems. And it's one of these
904
00:53:54.059 --> 00:53:58.329
little mini-Palantir carbine-type companies talking about a data dashboard. And
905
00:53:58.349 --> 00:54:00.170
I'm like, holy smokes. It's like all this stuff that
906
00:54:00.190 --> 00:54:01.789
they do on a grander scale, but they want to
907
00:54:01.809 --> 00:54:04.460
do it individually. inside the school, just the school system
908
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:07.980
in Albuquerque. And the guy doing the interview, he's like, well,
909
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.340
I got a kid who's going to be going to school.
910
00:54:10.860 --> 00:54:13.820
They're all excited. This is the right way to use AI.
911
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:17.860
It's all this surveillance tech stuff. But inside the school setting, oh,
912
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:20.800
it's totally okay to spy on everybody and do all
913
00:54:20.820 --> 00:54:23.719
this stuff for your kids because we want the kids
914
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:26.239
to be safe while they're in school. And I'm just like, dude,
915
00:54:26.260 --> 00:54:30.000
you're literally training the kids to live in a prison planet.
916
00:54:30.710 --> 00:54:31.309
Sorry, Alex.
917
00:54:31.469 --> 00:54:34.639
Again, Alex. But you know what I mean? But then outside,
918
00:54:34.659 --> 00:54:37.239
they're like, oh, those damn flock cameras. Screw that. But
919
00:54:37.260 --> 00:54:39.420
they're like, oh, yes, but yes, please spy on my
920
00:54:39.500 --> 00:54:44.139
kids to keep them safe. Hello? What are you doing? Anyways,
921
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:47.809
I'm just, it's a phenomenon that I can't shake out
922
00:54:47.829 --> 00:54:50.130
of my head. It's crazy. Oh, and then this. This
923
00:54:50.170 --> 00:54:52.389
kind of shit right here. Same kind of thing. What
924
00:54:52.409 --> 00:54:53.769
are you doing? This is nuts.
925
00:54:54.769 --> 00:55:01.719
Albuquerque schools install vape detectors to create safer... Spaces. Goodness gracious.
926
00:55:03.460 --> 00:55:08.679
Albuquerque public schools have installed 93 vape detectors in bathrooms
927
00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:13.150
across all 13 of the district's high schools, investing $ 500, 000
928
00:55:12.530 --> 00:55:19.329
in technology to combat teen vaping and create safer spaces
929
00:55:20.030 --> 00:55:26.769
for students. Half a million bucks, huh? What do they
930
00:55:26.789 --> 00:55:29.219
do to the students they catch vaping? Do they kick
931
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:33.659
them out of school? I mean, you know.
932
00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:36.679
The reports I've seen, they say that the teachers have
933
00:55:36.699 --> 00:55:38.980
been trained on what to do. And I'm like, what
934
00:55:39.019 --> 00:55:39.519
does that mean?
935
00:55:39.619 --> 00:55:42.219
Could someone tell us what they do? Because I'm curious.
936
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:43.699
Are they getting those shock gloves?
937
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:52.349
They come shock them. kick the stall open and apply
938
00:55:52.389 --> 00:55:53.190
the shot.
939
00:55:52.889 --> 00:55:55.929
Seems to me like there's like this this this survey
940
00:55:55.949 --> 00:55:57.989
and they're like oh but don't worry it's not recording
941
00:55:58.030 --> 00:56:00.590
anything there's no camera there's no microphone i'm like yeah
942
00:56:00.610 --> 00:56:02.409
don't worry about that that's on your smartphones and your
943
00:56:02.429 --> 00:56:05.210
kids meta glasses it's everywhere it's probably inside their damn
944
00:56:05.250 --> 00:56:07.320
vape you know what i mean yeah but anyways but
945
00:56:07.340 --> 00:56:09.539
the Not these censors. These censors are just going to
946
00:56:09.619 --> 00:56:13.019
send an internal signal to the superintendent or the teacher
947
00:56:13.059 --> 00:56:15.880
who's on duty, and they're going to come confront, go
948
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:19.619
investigate what's happening. But to put all these cameras or
949
00:56:19.659 --> 00:56:22.329
these censors everywhere and spend all this money, I'm like, oh,
950
00:56:22.789 --> 00:56:26.829
they're just greasing another contract, another lucrative contract for somebody's
951
00:56:26.949 --> 00:56:31.349
crony brother-in-law who's a Freemason at the club. You know
952
00:56:31.369 --> 00:56:33.840
what I mean? They golf together, or maybe they hang
953
00:56:33.880 --> 00:56:36.280
out with Jeffrey or somebody like him at Zorro Ranch,
954
00:56:36.300 --> 00:56:36.559
you know.
955
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:40.380
Someone in the Discord says, do the teachers take the
956
00:56:40.420 --> 00:56:45.380
vapes home and use them? Probably. People with powers at
957
00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:48.820
school is training for prison anyways. And then follows with
958
00:56:48.860 --> 00:56:51.800
a question, how do you test for water vapor? That's
959
00:56:51.860 --> 00:56:55.679
an interesting question. Are they getting false positives on these
960
00:56:55.780 --> 00:57:00.869
after someone takes a dump? I mean, what happens?
961
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:05.300
But, like, just so many things. We see them, you know,
962
00:57:05.340 --> 00:57:09.329
they use battlefields like Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza
963
00:57:09.349 --> 00:57:11.869
to test out their military weaponry. But they do the
964
00:57:11.909 --> 00:57:16.190
same thing, the surveillance, technocracy, control stuff with the kids.
965
00:57:16.570 --> 00:57:19.860
You know, they do the kids. During the pandemic, when
966
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:21.500
the world was shut down, the very first thing they
967
00:57:21.539 --> 00:57:24.239
were doing, everyone remembers this, is they were like, everybody,
968
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:25.960
stay home, except for us. We've got to roll out
969
00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:28.159
the 5G. We've got to roll out the 5G. In
970
00:57:28.179 --> 00:57:30.219
the first place they put it in everywhere was the schools.
971
00:57:32.699 --> 00:57:35.099
They upped all this, the fiber optic cables and all
972
00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:37.780
these fancy new computer equipments and AI and all this stuff.
973
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.800
That all happened right there while you were staying at home. But,
974
00:57:40.860 --> 00:57:42.539
you know, we're busy. We got to roll out with
975
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:43.969
the 5G and all that, you know.
976
00:57:45.730 --> 00:57:49.570
Yeah, it was essential. If you were rolling out 5G,
977
00:57:49.750 --> 00:57:54.469
you were essential. You were as essential as a quote
978
00:57:54.510 --> 00:57:56.260
unquote frontline worker, right?
979
00:57:58.389 --> 00:57:59.110
Whatever that means.
980
00:57:59.429 --> 00:58:01.610
And why? Like, we're still all trying to figure out
981
00:58:01.650 --> 00:58:05.610
why that was so important at that moment. And quite frankly,
982
00:58:05.909 --> 00:58:10.150
the conspiracy theory people have the most sense to be
983
00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:13.889
made about that topic. Because the corporate.
984
00:58:13.909 --> 00:58:16.489
It also makes sense that they like to distract everybody
985
00:58:16.510 --> 00:58:18.110
with the, like, they have the people coming out like,
986
00:58:18.130 --> 00:58:21.070
the 5G is what's making everybody sick. And yes, I
987
00:58:21.090 --> 00:58:24.050
understand there's a lot to be said about the harmful
988
00:58:24.150 --> 00:58:27.829
effects of the... electromagnetic frequencies. I'm not discounting that in
989
00:58:27.909 --> 00:58:29.639
any way, shape, or form. But I think that that
990
00:58:29.659 --> 00:58:32.579
was intentionally put out there to get everybody arguing about that,
991
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:34.420
shut those people up and say, oh, sit down, you
992
00:58:34.460 --> 00:58:37.460
silly conspiracy theorist, so that nobody could talk about any
993
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:41.519
of the other concerns with the 5G. Similar with the
994
00:58:41.619 --> 00:58:45.659
Flock camera conversation. They're arguing about the Flock And it's
995
00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:48.199
tracking and it's, you know, this and that and yada.
996
00:58:48.659 --> 00:58:51.079
And the data, sorry, not the flock cameras, the data centers,
997
00:58:51.099 --> 00:58:53.860
they're all bitching and complaining about the water usage and
998
00:58:53.909 --> 00:58:56.349
what it's going to do for my electric bill and
999
00:58:56.389 --> 00:58:58.019
this and that. And when you do some digging into it,
1000
00:58:58.030 --> 00:58:59.650
you're like, well, actually, that's really not that big of
1001
00:58:59.690 --> 00:59:01.349
a concern. So what's really going on here is like
1002
00:59:01.650 --> 00:59:04.190
they want everybody arguing about that and not paying attention
1003
00:59:04.230 --> 00:59:05.849
to the fact that this is all part of what
1004
00:59:05.869 --> 00:59:09.269
we're talking about here, the surveillance, the technocracy grid, the
1005
00:59:09.309 --> 00:59:12.400
loss of free in the name of what is substituting
1006
00:59:12.460 --> 00:59:14.280
it for some sort of safety and security like they're
1007
00:59:14.300 --> 00:59:16.579
doing to the kids there in the Albuquerque schools with
1008
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:19.909
their little steam vape detector. What the F is that?
1009
00:59:20.050 --> 00:59:24.489
It's stupid. Yeah, absolutely absurd. Half those kids have parents
1010
00:59:24.510 --> 00:59:26.769
that are sucking on vapes. So it's like– Where do
1011
00:59:26.789 --> 00:59:27.329
they get them from?
1012
00:59:27.349 --> 00:59:27.730
Yeah.
1013
00:59:27.750 --> 00:59:33.070
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And you're right. You know, it's like,
1014
00:59:33.250 --> 00:59:37.329
it's really easy to look at a system, a particular
1015
00:59:37.389 --> 00:59:41.440
system as just like one system with one goal. And
1016
00:59:41.500 --> 00:59:45.260
that's kind of the point here about tonight, you know,
1017
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:48.659
as our sort of our through line and the machine state,
1018
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:51.179
it's like, all you gotta do is zoom out from
1019
00:59:51.260 --> 00:59:55.929
one of these systems. And as people are power says,
1020
00:59:56.030 --> 00:59:59.340
it always ends up being about saving the children and,
1021
00:59:59.630 --> 01:00:02.489
They couldn't care less about the children. It's right. And
1022
01:00:02.510 --> 01:00:04.300
it's like, you look at one system like that and
1023
01:00:04.340 --> 01:00:06.260
many people would go, yeah, well, there is a big
1024
01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:08.920
problem with vaping, you know, teens vaping like that is,
1025
01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:13.380
is a thing. So maybe this isn't so bad, but
1026
01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:15.619
then you zoom out and it's like, okay, well, where
1027
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:18.400
does the data go? What's done with the data? What
1028
01:00:18.539 --> 01:00:22.420
other systems are it touching? And that's who owns the data?
1029
01:00:23.099 --> 01:00:25.139
What do they do with it? Is it for sale?
1030
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:28.139
Does it go to other places? Is it firewalled? Is
1031
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:31.710
it protected? And usually when you're zooming out and asking
1032
01:00:31.750 --> 01:00:35.369
these kind of questions, you find there's another system attached
1033
01:00:35.409 --> 01:00:37.269
to that system. And then you look at that system
1034
01:00:37.289 --> 01:00:39.389
and you ask all the same questions. And it's like, oh,
1035
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:42.800
there's another system attached to that system. You know, the
1036
01:00:42.860 --> 01:00:46.380
flock system is talking to the, you know, the shot
1037
01:00:46.420 --> 01:00:50.380
spotter system and the stoplight system. And then you've got,
1038
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:53.119
then you work your way down the rabbit hole zooming
1039
01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:56.889
out and you find yourself at the all-seeing eye, right? Palantir.
1040
01:00:57.699 --> 01:01:01.730
has access to probably every single little system that we're
1041
01:01:01.769 --> 01:01:07.920
talking about that may have its own sort of benign goal.
1042
01:01:09.420 --> 01:01:10.860
I like what Kurt Boss Jr.
1043
01:01:10.900 --> 01:01:11.159
Says.
1044
01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:14.280
It's not about safety. They're worried about revolution. I think
1045
01:01:14.300 --> 01:01:18.219
to a degree that's sort of correct. Because like part
1046
01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:22.309
of being a teenager is to have that rebellious spirit
1047
01:01:22.369 --> 01:01:26.010
to buck against authority and against the grownups, you know
1048
01:01:26.050 --> 01:01:27.690
what I mean? And all that stuff. And it's just
1049
01:01:27.730 --> 01:01:30.769
like the harder they make that possible for you to do.
1050
01:01:30.869 --> 01:01:36.030
I mean, they're really just going to be raising a
1051
01:01:36.070 --> 01:01:39.039
bunch of like pussified wimp slaves that won't push back
1052
01:01:39.099 --> 01:01:41.480
against anything and just go along to get along and
1053
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:43.679
live in their coon pods. I mean, is that really
1054
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:45.780
where we're at? This is terrible.
1055
01:01:45.900 --> 01:01:47.360
Sounds like a great plan.
1056
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:50.760
What happened to the brain? Once they put the damn
1057
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:52.780
chips in everybody's heads, you're not even going to be
1058
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:56.010
allowed to have a rebellious thought. It's not no longer
1059
01:01:56.030 --> 01:01:58.190
is your vape detector going off. It's like just the
1060
01:01:58.269 --> 01:02:00.829
idea that you thought that you might want to vape. Oh,
1061
01:02:00.909 --> 01:02:01.630
now you're in trouble.
1062
01:02:01.650 --> 01:02:03.989
You might get an electric shock for even thinking it.
1063
01:02:04.929 --> 01:02:05.250
Oh, no.
1064
01:02:05.590 --> 01:02:13.159
Stop. Damn it. Yeah, it's... They've made, and it's been
1065
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.480
this way for a long time for young people, you know,
1066
01:02:15.539 --> 01:02:19.280
it's like you know that something is not right, and
1067
01:02:19.300 --> 01:02:21.409
you might even think you know what it is that's
1068
01:02:21.469 --> 01:02:25.889
not right and what needs rebelling against. And that's sort
1069
01:02:25.929 --> 01:02:29.610
of the double-edged sword, right? Like, you have the experience
1070
01:02:29.690 --> 01:02:35.570
and the age, and you've seen enough failed quote-unquote rebellions
1071
01:02:35.659 --> 01:02:40.960
or cultural waves that go along with propaganda waves that
1072
01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:45.510
you start to really realize like, wow, if I was,
1073
01:02:45.710 --> 01:02:47.710
you know, a teenager right now or someone in their
1074
01:02:47.750 --> 01:02:51.190
early twenties, I would be buzzing with rebellion. I would
1075
01:02:51.250 --> 01:02:55.349
be buzzing with rebellion, but I wouldn't know where to
1076
01:02:55.590 --> 01:02:58.829
aim it. You know, you could pick a thing, but
1077
01:02:58.889 --> 01:03:02.869
it's like niche. It's like a niche thing. You know,
1078
01:03:03.190 --> 01:03:05.929
like right now I'm imagining young people are, some of
1079
01:03:05.969 --> 01:03:08.710
them are very against data centers, for example. And as,
1080
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:12.349
Someone mentioned in the chat, they're just against AI. Young
1081
01:03:12.389 --> 01:03:14.969
people get it. Not all of them. A bunch of
1082
01:03:14.989 --> 01:03:17.909
them are making their way through school on it. But
1083
01:03:18.070 --> 01:03:23.119
if they have the right mentors in their life, that
1084
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:26.039
is definitely a piece of rebellion that young people can
1085
01:03:26.199 --> 01:03:31.900
click into. But what happens when they realize, if I
1086
01:03:31.940 --> 01:03:34.179
get involved in this, all of a sudden I'm in
1087
01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:42.269
areas doing active, uh, protest. And all of a sudden,
1088
01:03:42.409 --> 01:03:47.050
you know, you're, you're on all the flock cameras. You've
1089
01:03:47.090 --> 01:03:50.119
got people coming to your door. You're getting doxxed. You're getting,
1090
01:03:50.139 --> 01:03:53.619
you know what I mean? It's just like, there's nowhere
1091
01:03:53.659 --> 01:03:55.739
for them to actually go rebel. And that goes for
1092
01:03:55.800 --> 01:03:56.679
us adults too.
1093
01:03:59.139 --> 01:03:59.360
Neat.
1094
01:03:59.820 --> 01:04:05.250
Yeah. Cause everything's faked, you know, everything's infiltrated. You can't
1095
01:04:05.289 --> 01:04:07.130
have a movement anymore. Practically.
1096
01:04:08.699 --> 01:04:10.699
It really feels like we're at that. This is our
1097
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:14.500
last effing chance, everybody. I'm just saying, you know, media bears.
1098
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:17.039
I'm not saying, but I am saying it really feels
1099
01:04:17.079 --> 01:04:21.690
like if there's not some sort of massive change. And
1100
01:04:21.730 --> 01:04:24.730
I mean, massive, like the type that our founding fathers
1101
01:04:24.829 --> 01:04:27.710
placed in a decaying piece of document that the current
1102
01:04:27.750 --> 01:04:30.190
administration and the previous ones and the previous ones and
1103
01:04:30.210 --> 01:04:31.690
the previous ones don't seem to give a shit about.
1104
01:04:32.610 --> 01:04:35.449
have put forth for us as our only solution to
1105
01:04:35.489 --> 01:04:38.170
these types of problems. If we don't at least consider
1106
01:04:38.190 --> 01:04:40.150
that or have a serious conversation about it, if we're
1107
01:04:40.170 --> 01:04:42.650
even allowed to, then I think the gig is up
1108
01:04:42.769 --> 01:04:44.760
and the game is over, unfortunately.
1109
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:47.900
And where did those guys get together and talk about
1110
01:04:47.940 --> 01:04:52.460
this stuff? In a place called private, on a bar stool,
1111
01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:55.780
at a table, you know, in a horse and buggy.
1112
01:04:56.719 --> 01:04:59.079
stuff like that. Do we have privacy in any of
1113
01:04:59.139 --> 01:05:01.079
those places anymore? I don't know. I haven't sat in
1114
01:05:01.099 --> 01:05:02.659
a horse and buggy in a while. Maybe we still
1115
01:05:02.699 --> 01:05:04.519
got it there, but not if you bring your cell
1116
01:05:04.539 --> 01:05:09.650
phone with you. It's like, can something like that, can
1117
01:05:09.670 --> 01:05:15.389
a 1776 even be organized in 21st century America? It
1118
01:05:15.409 --> 01:05:17.550
didn't work out very good in the 90s. Ask David
1119
01:05:17.610 --> 01:05:22.010
Koresh or Randy Weaver. That's a good point.
1120
01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:25.039
Maybe it's been far too late for a long time.
1121
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:27.170
I wonder if I was even born into a world
1122
01:05:27.190 --> 01:05:29.630
where such a thing, you know, I think the, you know,
1123
01:05:30.190 --> 01:05:31.929
the gig might have already been. I was actually I
1124
01:05:31.969 --> 01:05:34.469
was born past the time where they started requiring the
1125
01:05:34.510 --> 01:05:39.679
collection of baby's DNA into a national database. So. Your DNA,
1126
01:05:39.739 --> 01:05:42.800
my DNA, you know, we're right at that cutoff. I mean,
1127
01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:46.280
it wasn't long before you and I were born that
1128
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:48.219
they didn't do that. You know what I mean? But now,
1129
01:05:48.260 --> 01:05:50.869
you know, everybody born gets all their DNA and everything
1130
01:05:50.909 --> 01:05:53.289
sucked up and snapped up and all their data collected.
1131
01:05:53.349 --> 01:05:56.429
And it's like, shoot, we're even truly born into a
1132
01:05:56.469 --> 01:05:57.889
free country. I don't think so.
1133
01:05:58.710 --> 01:06:02.929
Yeah. No, born into corporate slavitude, pretty much.
1134
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:06.900
Well, you know, that's why your name is in all
1135
01:06:06.940 --> 01:06:08.739
capital letters, Hesher, because you're religious.
1136
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:09.199
Of course, right?
1137
01:06:09.739 --> 01:06:10.480
I'm not going to go there.
1138
01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:16.320
We won't relitigate that one, but yeah, that's definitely hanging
1139
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:21.000
out there for sure. And, you know, there's, let's see,
1140
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:26.559
there's a author that I mentioned on Sunday Wire who
1141
01:06:26.619 --> 01:06:32.789
I saw recently saying that Palantir is indeed Collecting all
1142
01:06:32.849 --> 01:06:36.449
that stuff on people. Yes, they're collecting genetic data. Yes,
1143
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:41.019
they were pulling it from COVID swabs, people that took
1144
01:06:41.139 --> 01:06:45.820
the COVID swab. That all ended up in Palantir's database
1145
01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:49.230
on everybody. That was Annie Jacobson, author Annie Jacobson, who
1146
01:06:49.269 --> 01:06:54.289
said that on the Danny Jones podcast. So I think
1147
01:06:54.329 --> 01:06:56.250
she talked about that in her book. That might be
1148
01:06:56.289 --> 01:07:02.139
something people would be interested in. But yeah. All right,
1149
01:07:02.159 --> 01:07:05.780
what's up with this one, Ruckus? Ballistic machines find over
1150
01:07:05.780 --> 01:07:11.190
500 crimes linked back to guns used in multiple shootings.
1151
01:07:11.269 --> 01:07:12.170
What's going on here?
1152
01:07:12.889 --> 01:07:15.630
Interestingly enough, another New Mexico story. I thought you would
1153
01:07:15.670 --> 01:07:19.030
find this very interesting. They had access to a bunch
1154
01:07:19.050 --> 01:07:21.630
of money from, like, I don't know, some sort of, like,
1155
01:07:21.670 --> 01:07:24.829
victim's fund type thing related to gun crimes or whatever
1156
01:07:24.849 --> 01:07:27.670
because New Mexico is obsessed with, like, They've been trying
1157
01:07:27.690 --> 01:07:29.969
their hardest. Right around the time I moved out of
1158
01:07:30.010 --> 01:07:32.360
that state, they were like coming down hard against guns.
1159
01:07:32.420 --> 01:07:35.619
It was shocking. Because otherwise it's an open carry state.
1160
01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:38.480
But in Albuquerque in particular, there's a bunch of gun
1161
01:07:38.539 --> 01:07:41.780
crime in this that mostly gang-related violence and domestic disturbances.
1162
01:07:42.179 --> 01:07:46.389
They have this new fancy schmancy like something straight out
1163
01:07:46.449 --> 01:07:49.190
of CSI kind of shit going on now with this thing.
1164
01:07:49.230 --> 01:07:52.860
It's called NIBI, N-I-B-I, I think. And I couldn't quite
1165
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:56.179
figure out– this is like– this is not just New Mexico.
1166
01:07:56.219 --> 01:07:57.940
So I was trying to– I was hoping to find
1167
01:07:57.980 --> 01:08:00.000
some stories about other places using this. You may have
1168
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.739
actually seen stories in your own local communities or local
1169
01:08:02.780 --> 01:08:05.690
news outlets about some of the similar stuff. You probably
1170
01:08:05.750 --> 01:08:09.289
are hearing stories about them installing vape detectors, for instance,
1171
01:08:09.329 --> 01:08:11.530
wherever you might live. Same thing with some of these
1172
01:08:11.570 --> 01:08:13.849
other things like this, the ballistic, because this is a
1173
01:08:13.909 --> 01:08:17.670
national thing. So it's like, it seems cool, but I mean,
1174
01:08:17.750 --> 01:08:20.510
is any of this even real? What's going on? But
1175
01:08:20.529 --> 01:08:25.270
they've warp speeded the whole AI technology ballistic thing, and like,
1176
01:08:25.390 --> 01:08:28.949
I don't know, man. I just, I don't know. I
1177
01:08:28.970 --> 01:08:29.470
just don't know.
1178
01:08:30.869 --> 01:08:34.050
Yeah, ultimate goal to have 100% coverage across the state
1179
01:08:34.090 --> 01:08:41.270
of New Mexico in all 33 counties. They're saying tracking
1180
01:08:41.390 --> 01:08:44.979
gun shells can tell the entirety of the gun's life.
1181
01:08:46.699 --> 01:08:50.180
I'm gonna need to see some more Facts on this.
1182
01:08:50.220 --> 01:08:52.979
This is sort of just a declarative like we're using
1183
01:08:53.859 --> 01:08:55.180
This is AI-based, right?
1184
01:08:56.619 --> 01:09:00.060
I'm guessing so. They're using new technology. What kind of
1185
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:03.640
new technology could be available to anybody right now? I
1186
01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:06.199
don't know if it explicitly says it or not, but
1187
01:09:06.239 --> 01:09:09.689
I thought. It's state-of-the-art. Whenever they say these types of things,
1188
01:09:09.739 --> 01:09:11.970
I don't even know what they're doing anymore. Are they
1189
01:09:12.029 --> 01:09:16.770
using a Ouija board? They say.
1190
01:09:17.210 --> 01:09:20.949
since the machines have run over 2000 ballistic tests, which
1191
01:09:21.029 --> 01:09:26.619
connected 527 crimes around New Mexico, uh, they're developing a
1192
01:09:26.699 --> 01:09:30.020
database that helped investigators tie a gun discarded in New
1193
01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:36.460
Mexico to a drive-by shooting in Arizona. Huh? Interesting.
1194
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:39.800
So we should just trust them because they said so, bro.
1195
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:44.489
Yeah, I guess. Oh, I'm not really there. I'm not
1196
01:09:44.569 --> 01:09:48.960
a trust me, bro. Type of, uh, consumer.
1197
01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:55.140
Really need black box technology in policing in 2026 i
1198
01:09:55.180 --> 01:09:58.279
think not yeah especially when it comes to things like
1199
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:01.079
this i mean cheese and crackers i mean you got
1200
01:10:01.100 --> 01:10:03.340
somebody you don't like all of a sudden a bullet
1201
01:10:03.359 --> 01:10:05.520
casing that got swept up from the last time you
1202
01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:07.880
were at the gun range is tied to a crime
1203
01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:11.119
you know and i'm just yeah speculating here.
1204
01:10:11.140 --> 01:10:15.310
Sounds sounds kind of like uh Forgive the pun, but
1205
01:10:15.350 --> 01:10:18.510
like a shotgun scatter, kind of like flock, you know.
1206
01:10:20.890 --> 01:10:26.430
So they have all these mistakes. Some counties have looked
1207
01:10:26.489 --> 01:10:29.229
at some of the license plate readers on these flock cameras,
1208
01:10:29.260 --> 01:10:34.319
and they say like 70% of the outputs are wrong.
1209
01:10:35.819 --> 01:10:40.640
So here we go out of ANF. Inside the bipartisan
1210
01:10:40.699 --> 01:10:47.489
pushback against flock safety's surveillance network Atlanta, Georgia. It is
1211
01:10:47.529 --> 01:10:51.069
a surveillance network so vast that unless you live in Alaska,
1212
01:10:51.130 --> 01:10:55.359
your daily movements have almost certainly been captured, photographed, and logged.
1213
01:10:55.800 --> 01:11:00.100
Flock Safety, a LPR, a license plate reader technology company
1214
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:03.180
founded by a Georgia Tech graduate, has grown into a
1215
01:11:03.239 --> 01:11:07.100
dominant national force in law enforcement. Though the company refuses
1216
01:11:07.189 --> 01:11:11.359
to release... Exact camera counts. Independent third parties estimate that
1217
01:11:11.430 --> 01:11:15.930
more than 90,000 flock cameras are active across 49 states,
1218
01:11:16.029 --> 01:11:22.869
integrated across more than 6,000 police agencies. So, you know,
1219
01:11:22.890 --> 01:11:26.000
this gets into the civil liberties debate and, of course,
1220
01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:30.619
people taking flock cameras down and all that fun stuff, right?
1221
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:34.460
I just saw a report about a woman. God, I
1222
01:11:34.500 --> 01:11:37.770
can't remember where. I've watched too many news reports. Too
1223
01:11:37.789 --> 01:11:43.310
much news. So the woman was arrested and placed in
1224
01:11:43.430 --> 01:11:47.489
jail for 13 days for something she didn't do.
1225
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:47.989
Yep.
1226
01:11:48.779 --> 01:11:49.779
Thanks to a flock camera.
1227
01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:53.359
Yeah, flock camera screwed up. She got arrested, went to
1228
01:11:53.439 --> 01:11:57.659
jail for almost two weeks, and yeah, she's now suing.
1229
01:11:57.680 --> 01:11:59.460
Accused of a hit and run, I think, in that case.
1230
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:00.800
Yep, they accused her.
1231
01:12:01.579 --> 01:12:03.460
The truck wasn't even the right damn color.
1232
01:12:03.619 --> 01:12:03.840
Yeah.
1233
01:12:05.729 --> 01:12:07.909
The cops literally said, we don't think it was you.
1234
01:12:07.930 --> 01:12:09.829
We have no evidence to place you at the scene
1235
01:12:09.869 --> 01:12:13.670
of the crime. And they arrested her anyway. We have
1236
01:12:13.729 --> 01:12:14.430
a problem here.
1237
01:12:14.689 --> 01:12:18.989
Yeah, that's bad. That's very bad. This is not a
1238
01:12:19.010 --> 01:12:19.449
good thing.
1239
01:12:21.390 --> 01:12:23.649
Someone asked, does she get reparations for that? No, of
1240
01:12:23.720 --> 01:12:26.140
course not. Do you think so? I saw the woman
1241
01:12:26.199 --> 01:12:28.800
on camera crying, saying she needs freaking therapy.
1242
01:12:28.819 --> 01:12:29.920
I saw that too.
1243
01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:31.279
This is nuts.
1244
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:32.180
Yep.
1245
01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:41.050
So there's haveibeenflocked.com. There's Deflock. There's a huge movement of
1246
01:12:41.109 --> 01:12:44.329
people that are getting into this and trying to figure
1247
01:12:44.390 --> 01:12:48.609
out where they are in their town. So I also
1248
01:12:48.670 --> 01:12:51.789
saw the map of New York's flock cameras, and somebody
1249
01:12:51.810 --> 01:12:53.970
was pointing out how there are no flock cameras in
1250
01:12:54.010 --> 01:12:56.989
the Upper East Side, and they're like, who's the general
1251
01:12:57.029 --> 01:12:59.270
population in the Upper East Side? I wonder why they
1252
01:12:59.310 --> 01:13:00.270
have no cameras there.
1253
01:13:01.430 --> 01:13:02.829
I have no idea what you're alluding to.
1254
01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:05.500
Oh, you know, a lot of small hats in the
1255
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:06.220
Upper East Side.
1256
01:13:08.739 --> 01:13:10.520
Rich people who like small hats?
1257
01:13:10.770 --> 01:13:16.710
Yeah, you got it, you got it. Yeah.
1258
01:13:17.630 --> 01:13:19.630
Just like they're not going to be building any data
1259
01:13:19.649 --> 01:13:21.090
centers in Martha's Vineyard, right?
1260
01:13:22.310 --> 01:13:22.550
Sure.
1261
01:13:22.569 --> 01:13:26.310
Or in Mar-a-Lago. Slap one up right next to Mar-a-Lago.
1262
01:13:26.409 --> 01:13:29.229
Build a nice, fat, juicy data center next to every
1263
01:13:29.270 --> 01:13:31.930
single Trump golf course on the planet. I dare you.
1264
01:13:32.710 --> 01:13:36.569
So what they're telling us with these 90,000 camera systems
1265
01:13:36.949 --> 01:13:40.289
is that citizens basically have no choice other than to
1266
01:13:40.329 --> 01:13:44.189
be tracked by local law enforcement and whoever else their
1267
01:13:45.550 --> 01:13:46.810
systems are connected to.
1268
01:13:48.149 --> 01:13:50.250
Well, they do have a choice, and people have been
1269
01:13:50.270 --> 01:13:55.050
taking that choice. It usually involves chainsaws, masks, spray paint,
1270
01:13:55.810 --> 01:13:57.489
stuff like that. Use your imagination. Yep.
1271
01:13:58.989 --> 01:13:59.800
We have seen a bit of that.
1272
01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:02.300
And my favorite one, again, is people slapping up these
1273
01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:08.420
stickers and posters around towns, certain towns that say, hey, crackheads,
1274
01:14:08.579 --> 01:14:12.600
meth heads, did you know? And then it lists all
1275
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:15.260
the valuable materials that can be found inside these flock
1276
01:14:15.300 --> 01:14:17.479
cameras and that, you know, can then be sold for money.
1277
01:14:17.579 --> 01:14:17.899
Neat.
1278
01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:29.590
Hey. Just great. Let's see here. Oh, yeah. So not
1279
01:14:29.770 --> 01:14:34.640
only is Donald Trump in the middle, midst of demolishing
1280
01:14:34.680 --> 01:14:38.680
the White House to build a apocalypse bunker under it, right?
1281
01:14:38.699 --> 01:14:40.739
That's what he's building. It is an apocalypse bunker.
1282
01:14:40.760 --> 01:14:43.920
He calls it a ballroom, but yeah.
1283
01:14:44.020 --> 01:14:44.739
Control center.
1284
01:14:45.260 --> 01:14:45.640
Oh, yeah.
1285
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:49.439
I mean a ballroom for dancing and such. Well, he
1286
01:14:49.460 --> 01:14:52.199
also wants a helipad. Does he have a gold helicopter?
1287
01:14:52.279 --> 01:14:54.500
Is there a gold Whirlybird one?
1288
01:14:56.680 --> 01:15:01.239
Well, there's gold inlay, I think, going in there. It's
1289
01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:05.500
very disgusting. My God, look at this guy.
1290
01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:09.569
Look at this, man. That's where his helicopter is going
1291
01:15:09.590 --> 01:15:12.949
to land, huh? President Donald Trump played White House tour
1292
01:15:13.010 --> 01:15:17.789
guide back on Wednesday. This article came out on the
1293
01:15:18.149 --> 01:15:22.050
19th of August. Showing off the helipad he's building on
1294
01:15:22.090 --> 01:15:25.159
the lawn before leaning over to autograph a piece of it.
1295
01:15:25.710 --> 01:15:30.050
And bragging about the ballroom he's rushing to complete, despite
1296
01:15:30.090 --> 01:15:34.869
some legal challenges, but he gushed for several uninterrupted minutes
1297
01:15:34.949 --> 01:15:38.760
about granite being laid and said the chopper landing area
1298
01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:45.100
would leave visiting foreign leaders very impressed, including Chinese President
1299
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:50.000
Xi Jinping, who is coming next month. So I guess
1300
01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:53.899
we're going to build a new helipad to impress Xi.
1301
01:15:55.810 --> 01:15:57.609
Oh, my God, I wish you had some video of this.
1302
01:15:57.689 --> 01:16:00.189
I watched the video of this. And he's, like, standing
1303
01:16:00.229 --> 01:16:02.180
there talking about, like, it's one of his real estate
1304
01:16:02.220 --> 01:16:04.979
development projects, right? He's all excited. I mean, it's like
1305
01:16:05.020 --> 01:16:08.300
Trump excited and interested in something that's a completely different person.
1306
01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:10.899
I'm just like, wow, I wish he knew this.
1307
01:16:10.579 --> 01:16:13.420
Much about the country. But, no, it's all this vanity project, right?
1308
01:16:13.960 --> 01:16:16.439
He was doing really good. Everything was fine. But he
1309
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:18.920
was all impressed with his granite and the granites that
1310
01:16:18.939 --> 01:16:21.140
he was talking about and describing. And he's like, you know,
1311
01:16:21.159 --> 01:16:24.119
this is the finest shit on the planet. I'm paraphrasing,
1312
01:16:24.149 --> 01:16:27.109
but that's how he was acting. He was talking, you know, like,
1313
01:16:27.789 --> 01:16:32.220
no expense spared saying things like that. And I'm just like... What?
1314
01:16:32.279 --> 01:16:35.659
I mean, like, what with this lavish and who's foot
1315
01:16:35.699 --> 01:16:39.000
the bill for this again? I'm guessing, I'm hoping that
1316
01:16:39.060 --> 01:16:42.909
it's not the taxpayers. That would kind of not be good, right,
1317
01:16:42.949 --> 01:16:44.810
just saying. But then he's like talking about how it's
1318
01:16:44.829 --> 01:16:46.609
going to be really nice and it's the perfect thing
1319
01:16:46.630 --> 01:16:51.069
to walk on. So they'll come here, the dignitaries, the visitors, whatever,
1320
01:16:51.149 --> 01:16:53.949
for all the special occasions, they can come here. And
1321
01:16:53.989 --> 01:16:56.090
he's got a little place so you can set up
1322
01:16:56.550 --> 01:16:59.800
a nice little bar setting here and some seating at
1323
01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:03.159
the helipad. So you can have drinks before you head
1324
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:06.800
to the ballroom. And I'm not making this up. This
1325
01:17:06.859 --> 01:17:08.760
is what he's talking about to the reporters. And I'm
1326
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:12.819
just like, amidst the news of war and the bad
1327
01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:15.789
economy and the debt and all, and I'm just like,
1328
01:17:15.829 --> 01:17:19.170
and he's talking about having cocktails on the helipad with
1329
01:17:19.189 --> 01:17:22.189
the gold inlay on this granite and then going to
1330
01:17:22.229 --> 01:17:26.520
the ballroom. And I'm just like, dude, do you... What
1331
01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:28.479
are you doing? Stop.
1332
01:17:28.859 --> 01:17:32.140
Do we really want these world leaders drinking? Do we
1333
01:17:32.180 --> 01:17:34.260
need them more bombastic than they already are?
1334
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.560
And I thought he was a teetotaler, so I don't know.
1335
01:17:38.810 --> 01:17:41.510
I do have some footage of him here. I don't
1336
01:17:41.529 --> 01:17:43.210
know if it's worth watching, though. It's kind of a
1337
01:17:43.229 --> 01:17:48.609
long video. We'll skip it. We'll skip it. Your description
1338
01:17:48.670 --> 01:17:49.569
of it was enough for me.
1339
01:17:49.590 --> 01:17:50.729
No, I nailed it. Trust me.
1340
01:17:53.210 --> 01:17:56.029
Yeah, so if you're interested, they've got a video out
1341
01:17:56.069 --> 01:17:59.149
there of Trump previewing his new White House helipad.
1342
01:18:01.039 --> 01:18:03.939
It's almost like something out of the Robin Leach. Lifestyles
1343
01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:05.859
of the rich and famous, right?
1344
01:18:06.079 --> 01:18:10.500
Yeah. All right, let's see here. What do we got here?
1345
01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:18.500
Tearful Trump voter says he feels totally betrayed after fiance
1346
01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:22.789
was swarmed by ICE and taken away. This is like
1347
01:18:22.850 --> 01:18:29.909
the Gestapo. So, uh, yeah. John Gannon, Texas Republican and
1348
01:18:29.949 --> 01:18:33.960
Trump supporter, says ICE detained his fiance at a Houston
1349
01:18:34.060 --> 01:18:42.930
airport without explanation. She's Suarez Reyes, a Venezuelan-born Spanish citizen.
1350
01:18:42.939 --> 01:18:50.449
Allegedly overstayed her U.S. visa and is now in ICE custody. Uh, Gannon,
1351
01:18:50.510 --> 01:18:54.100
a businessman, says the incident has changed his political stance.
1352
01:18:54.189 --> 01:18:57.770
So just hemorrhaging MAGA supporters.
1353
01:18:59.460 --> 01:19:03.119
The lady did not have an enjoyable experience, apparently.
1354
01:19:03.220 --> 01:19:06.039
No, she's not going to get to experience the ballroom
1355
01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:07.720
or the helipad tours.
1356
01:19:08.680 --> 01:19:11.039
Right from the beginning of that story, too, from what
1357
01:19:11.060 --> 01:19:13.819
I understand from what she said or what's admitted to,
1358
01:19:13.939 --> 01:19:17.340
as well as the person, the ICE officer, whoever it was.
1359
01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:19.380
It was ICE officers that did this, or was it CBP?
1360
01:19:19.399 --> 01:19:21.640
It was ICE, right? ICE, yeah. It was ICE. Okay,
1361
01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:29.239
so the officer says, congratulations, you've been selected for extended screening,
1362
01:19:29.310 --> 01:19:33.970
some code or some fancy, like, some just creepy jerk-ass stuff. Like,
1363
01:19:34.090 --> 01:19:38.310
what the F? Like, congratulations, you've been selected for, like, special...
1364
01:19:38.939 --> 01:19:42.130
treatment or whatever he said. I'm like, your special treatment
1365
01:19:42.149 --> 01:19:45.140
is you get arrested and thrown and ignored. And she
1366
01:19:45.180 --> 01:19:51.470
said there was clean water, no bathroom facility going on
1367
01:19:51.510 --> 01:19:53.109
or anything like that. And she was saying there was
1368
01:19:53.130 --> 01:19:56.289
a pregnant woman who was a diabetic who was screaming
1369
01:19:56.329 --> 01:19:58.989
and crying for insulin and just completely ignored. And I'm
1370
01:19:59.010 --> 01:20:01.920
just like, dude, didn't we hear these types of stories
1371
01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:06.619
under another president? And didn't the current president bitch about
1372
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:08.220
it and say, oh, that's terrible what they're doing to
1373
01:20:08.260 --> 01:20:10.460
these people, like the people in the cages and all
1374
01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:11.260
that stuff, right?
1375
01:20:11.859 --> 01:20:12.770
Yeah, I remember that.
1376
01:20:13.010 --> 01:20:16.409
Okay. Just making sure. And then like, yeah, but yeah,
1377
01:20:16.510 --> 01:20:18.390
they have like this guy. This is the slap in
1378
01:20:18.409 --> 01:20:20.670
the face that this is another pattern of Trump that
1379
01:20:20.710 --> 01:20:23.029
I can't quite wrap my head around. I guess it's
1380
01:20:23.069 --> 01:20:24.939
not like he's really going to get elected again. He
1381
01:20:24.949 --> 01:20:26.409
says he's going to run for the third time. He
1382
01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:29.140
thinks it's the fourth time. He thinks he's won three times.
1383
01:20:29.880 --> 01:20:31.880
But nobody's going to vote for him when they do
1384
01:20:31.899 --> 01:20:33.439
this kind of shit. The guy was a full blown
1385
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:35.520
MAGA supporter. He's like, I love Trump to get the
1386
01:20:35.539 --> 01:20:38.220
guy whose wife was now detained by ICE and treated
1387
01:20:38.260 --> 01:20:41.590
like a piece of meat animal. less than a Gazan.
1388
01:20:41.649 --> 01:20:44.090
You know what I mean? Here in America, this is crazy.
1389
01:20:44.250 --> 01:20:46.649
And it's just nuts. And he says something else that's
1390
01:20:46.670 --> 01:20:48.909
today is like, she's not like an illegal citizen. She
1391
01:20:48.930 --> 01:20:51.670
didn't come across the border. She came in through Trump's big,
1392
01:20:51.770 --> 01:20:55.479
beautiful door is what the guys said. And that stuck
1393
01:20:55.539 --> 01:20:56.720
with me. I really did.
1394
01:20:56.739 --> 01:21:01.539
Man. Yeah, that's, that's pretty ugly.
1395
01:21:01.619 --> 01:21:03.859
I'm guessing he's not going to be voting for Trump
1396
01:21:03.939 --> 01:21:05.739
for his third or fourth time. Is he?
1397
01:21:06.220 --> 01:21:08.590
No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
1398
01:21:09.710 --> 01:21:11.529
He only knows what they're probably going to do to
1399
01:21:11.590 --> 01:21:13.130
him since he talked to the press.
1400
01:21:13.369 --> 01:21:16.609
Yeah, he's going to have to escape to Venezuela, dude.
1401
01:21:16.680 --> 01:21:18.199
He's going to have to go there if he wants
1402
01:21:18.220 --> 01:21:19.600
to be with her. He may have to go there
1403
01:21:19.619 --> 01:21:20.479
to get away from her.
1404
01:21:20.500 --> 01:21:21.920
He's going to get droned.
1405
01:21:21.979 --> 01:21:24.960
Yeah, a war robot may come knock on his door.
1406
01:21:25.460 --> 01:21:27.380
They just want to make sure he doesn't have the
1407
01:21:27.420 --> 01:21:30.399
Texas screwworm, or the New World screwworm.
1408
01:21:30.720 --> 01:21:34.100
Yeah, we got to be safe from those, that's for sure.
1409
01:21:36.060 --> 01:21:42.069
The FBI raided Eric Swalwell. In a sexual assault probe,
1410
01:21:42.630 --> 01:21:48.340
federal agents raided the home of former House Representative Swalwell
1411
01:21:48.460 --> 01:21:51.260
and seized his electronic devices over the weekend as part
1412
01:21:51.279 --> 01:21:56.739
of an ongoing investigation potentially related to sexual assault allegations.
1413
01:21:58.840 --> 01:21:59.539
Potentially?
1414
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:06.890
Potentially. So, he's 45. He resigned from his position recently.
1415
01:22:07.470 --> 01:22:10.989
in Congress in April after multiple women came forward publicly
1416
01:22:11.100 --> 01:22:15.340
with accusations ranging from the word you don't want to
1417
01:22:15.380 --> 01:22:20.300
say on YouTube that rhymes with grapes and other misconduct
1418
01:22:21.300 --> 01:22:25.340
of the SE actual kind. So he's denied these allegations,
1419
01:22:25.460 --> 01:22:34.079
but the FBI done raided him. Well, I bet he'll
1420
01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:36.300
be back in politics real soon now that they've got
1421
01:22:36.340 --> 01:22:39.720
something on him. I don't know what else to say.
1422
01:22:41.260 --> 01:22:45.899
Perfectly qualified for Congress. He'll probably have a new seat.
1423
01:22:45.979 --> 01:22:49.949
So when will we expect him to start his podcast, Hesher?
1424
01:22:49.970 --> 01:22:50.930
That's all I want to know.
1425
01:22:51.449 --> 01:22:53.810
Has it started already? I mean, I'd be disappointed if
1426
01:22:53.869 --> 01:22:57.689
it hasn't already started, I'm sure. his PR people are
1427
01:22:57.869 --> 01:23:00.670
making sure he has a podcast or is doing the rounds.
1428
01:23:00.770 --> 01:23:02.560
We got, we got to set, we got to give
1429
01:23:02.600 --> 01:23:05.020
the left to somebody who's going to be somebody who's
1430
01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:07.239
going to be like, all like, Oh, I was mistreated
1431
01:23:07.300 --> 01:23:09.439
by Trump. And they're going to be like the next
1432
01:23:09.500 --> 01:23:12.399
wave of that kind of thing. That's different. You know,
1433
01:23:12.420 --> 01:23:14.300
there's going to be different flavors of that. We've got
1434
01:23:14.340 --> 01:23:20.619
the MTG and, um, uh, Massey and Tucker doing their thing. Um,
1435
01:23:20.699 --> 01:23:22.939
but yeah, we're going to see some small wells and
1436
01:23:22.979 --> 01:23:24.520
some AOCs and right.
1437
01:23:25.300 --> 01:23:26.640
All the rejects.
1438
01:23:26.899 --> 01:23:32.880
The New York mayor who got totally harassed. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1439
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:34.300
Before him. Adams.
1440
01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:36.050
Oh, Adams. Yeah, yep.
1441
01:23:36.350 --> 01:23:39.210
Yeah, everybody went out. He was like, his own people
1442
01:23:39.250 --> 01:23:41.510
went after him, right? The Democrats went after that guy, if.
1443
01:23:41.529 --> 01:23:44.550
I'm not mistaken. Yeah, they did. And we were wondering, like,
1444
01:23:44.590 --> 01:23:47.329
is this part of an ultimate, like, rebranding down the
1445
01:23:47.390 --> 01:23:48.609
road back when it happened?
1446
01:23:48.670 --> 01:23:50.930
That's the word I'm looking for. Thank you. Yeah, we're
1447
01:23:50.949 --> 01:23:52.850
going to see a whole bunch of this different rebranding
1448
01:23:52.869 --> 01:23:53.310
going on.
1449
01:23:53.430 --> 01:23:53.569
Yep.
1450
01:23:53.630 --> 01:23:53.789
Yep.
1451
01:23:54.229 --> 01:23:57.729
People swap in size. Thetterman? Thetterman's doing a little weird stuff.
1452
01:23:57.810 --> 01:24:01.010
Oh, yeah. AOC, Thetterman. Yeah, there's going to be this
1453
01:24:01.050 --> 01:24:06.029
whole weird little rainbow tent that pops up. And my
1454
01:24:06.069 --> 01:24:08.590
prediction on what that's going to look like is it'll
1455
01:24:08.630 --> 01:24:11.149
pop up. They might even, like, give it a third-party
1456
01:24:11.189 --> 01:24:13.909
sort of name. But the whole thing is just going
1457
01:24:13.930 --> 01:24:16.729
to RFK. The whole thing is going to RFK Jr.
1458
01:24:16.829 --> 01:24:20.729
It's going to just... Be bombastic and say a bunch
1459
01:24:20.770 --> 01:24:23.609
of things that people that are out of voting want
1460
01:24:23.630 --> 01:24:26.399
to hear and try to bring them back in. And
1461
01:24:26.409 --> 01:24:28.979
then they'll say, you know what? It's just not going
1462
01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:31.960
to work out, guys. The two-party system is the thing.
1463
01:24:32.619 --> 01:24:35.619
And we're just going to go with J.D. Vance. All
1464
01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:39.130
of us are going to support J.D. Vance. I think
1465
01:24:39.149 --> 01:24:40.750
that's probably the way that's going to go. It's going
1466
01:24:40.770 --> 01:24:43.229
to look just like RFK rolling over for the Trumps.
1467
01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:47.460
Stop.
1468
01:24:47.619 --> 01:24:48.960
It's going to leave a whole bunch of people.
1469
01:24:48.979 --> 01:24:53.199
It's going to be Thiel and Musk. There you go.
1470
01:24:53.439 --> 01:24:56.890
Peter Thiel and Elon Musk as vice president. There you go.
1471
01:24:57.859 --> 01:24:58.439
One of these days.
1472
01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:02.789
And John Fetterman as the secretary of state. There you.
1473
01:25:06.510 --> 01:25:08.850
Go. I mean, just bring out the Brondo at that point.
1474
01:25:08.949 --> 01:25:10.689
Start watering the fields with Brondo.
1475
01:25:11.289 --> 01:25:17.069
AOC treasury secretary for sure. she's smart enough to handle
1476
01:25:17.109 --> 01:25:17.850
that one right.
1477
01:25:18.689 --> 01:25:23.229
Roosters comment in the discord swalwell and wiener damn ticket
1478
01:25:24.050 --> 01:25:25.010
touch them all in.
1479
01:25:24.930 --> 01:25:28.869
28 yes now you you get the idea he gets
1480
01:25:28.970 --> 01:25:29.909
it all right.
1481
01:25:32.369 --> 01:25:38.140
You guys are animals i love it oh my gosh
1482
01:25:40.489 --> 01:25:45.810
all right what's this one Oh, so on weaponized news, uh,
1483
01:25:45.890 --> 01:25:51.130
Sam was talking about us nationals, uh, security science and tech, uh,
1484
01:25:51.180 --> 01:25:54.659
technology strategy, 2026. What can you tell me about this?
1485
01:25:57.479 --> 01:26:00.180
Um, man, there's a lot in it. That's why Sam
1486
01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:03.359
covered it, but, um, maybe we should just refer everybody
1487
01:26:03.399 --> 01:26:04.939
to check his breakdown.
1488
01:26:05.060 --> 01:26:05.220
Yeah.
1489
01:26:05.260 --> 01:26:08.500
He's got a great, um, like a 20 minute clip
1490
01:26:08.699 --> 01:26:11.199
on this that we'll link on the show notes.
1491
01:26:11.590 --> 01:26:15.250
Um, I think you and I might want to take
1492
01:26:15.289 --> 01:26:17.569
a deeper dive into it one day, but tonight is
1493
01:26:17.609 --> 01:26:18.510
definitely not the night.
1494
01:26:19.550 --> 01:26:20.270
Yeah.
1495
01:26:20.689 --> 01:26:23.510
This is actually something to maybe, I don't know, I've
1496
01:26:23.529 --> 01:26:25.180
been nudging. I want to see. I want to get
1497
01:26:25.220 --> 01:26:27.720
Jason Bermas' take on this, too. Maybe we can try
1498
01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:30.260
to invite him to help us take a look at this.
1499
01:26:30.300 --> 01:26:34.500
But this is some of that weird legalese, like, think
1500
01:26:34.539 --> 01:26:37.899
tank stuff that, like, once you dig in and understand it,
1501
01:26:37.899 --> 01:26:40.310
you're like, oh, shoot, there's a lot to this, isn't there,
1502
01:26:40.350 --> 01:26:40.560
you know?
1503
01:26:41.810 --> 01:26:44.380
Yeah, so in his description for it, just as a
1504
01:26:44.399 --> 01:26:50.520
bit of a teaser, National Security Science and Technology Strategy 2026,
1505
01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:55.810
a core segment is a close reading of the 24-page U.S.
1506
01:26:55.850 --> 01:27:01.029
National Security Science and Technology Strategy. Cheney presents it as
1507
01:27:01.109 --> 01:27:07.909
an explicit technocratic roadmap that subordinates the domestic economy to
1508
01:27:08.029 --> 01:27:15.210
national security priorities, expands surveillance... and dual-use technologies, systems of systems,
1509
01:27:15.289 --> 01:27:20.289
my friends, making that machine, and advances a greater North
1510
01:27:20.350 --> 01:27:27.720
America framework. And there's a highlight in there, language on
1511
01:27:27.779 --> 01:27:32.779
advanced sensors, AI, biotechnology, and materials science as tools of
1512
01:27:32.859 --> 01:27:38.670
scientific management, rather than purely defensive measures. So, yeah, that's...
1513
01:27:39.300 --> 01:27:45.060
Definitely something that's pretty interesting right there and probably another
1514
01:27:45.380 --> 01:27:48.800
odious piece of 21st century technocrat BS.
1515
01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:52.479
And also probably need to compare it with any other
1516
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:55.159
similar things taking place in other parts of the world
1517
01:27:55.220 --> 01:27:59.640
that might probably look in lockstep aligned with the things
1518
01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:03.239
that are outlined in this document. Just a wild guess. Yeah.
1519
01:28:04.539 --> 01:28:05.920
If history has taught us anything.
1520
01:28:05.939 --> 01:28:12.789
Mm-hmm. And then we've got a company that wants to
1521
01:28:12.909 --> 01:28:14.930
sell you sunlight.
1522
01:28:16.949 --> 01:28:18.939
Oh, my God. This is like my favorite story of
1523
01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:20.239
the year so far, actually.
1524
01:28:21.359 --> 01:28:23.399
I don't understand why I have to buy this, Ruckus.
1525
01:28:23.460 --> 01:28:27.300
I just opened the back door, and I'm pelted with it.
1526
01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:30.819
It's for nighttime when you're like, gosh darn it. I
1527
01:28:30.930 --> 01:28:35.289
would work a 24-hour day workday if only the sun
1528
01:28:35.310 --> 01:28:38.789
would stay out for 24 hours a day. Well, you're
1529
01:28:38.810 --> 01:28:39.170
in luck.
1530
01:28:39.750 --> 01:28:39.949
Yeah.
1531
01:28:40.159 --> 01:28:44.319
You are in luck. Out of dreaded vice, Reflect Orbital,
1532
01:28:44.340 --> 01:28:47.250
a California startup, has opened applications for anyone who wants
1533
01:28:47.289 --> 01:28:49.409
to use a satellite with a mirror on it to
1534
01:28:49.470 --> 01:28:53.270
reflect sunlight to a specific location on Earth after dark.
1535
01:28:53.810 --> 01:28:59.760
You might be wondering, what? So... Vice spoke a few
1536
01:28:59.800 --> 01:29:05.850
years ago to Reflect Orbital's founder and CEO, Ben Nowak. Nowak.
1537
01:29:06.250 --> 01:29:09.829
Is it Nowak November yet? Anyways, Ben Nowak about his
1538
01:29:09.890 --> 01:29:14.380
plans to generate solar power at night. Quote, I had
1539
01:29:14.420 --> 01:29:17.600
an interesting way to solve the real issue with solar power.
1540
01:29:18.119 --> 01:29:21.220
It's this unstoppable force, Nowak said in the interview. Everybody
1541
01:29:21.300 --> 01:29:25.020
installing so many solar panels everywhere, it's It's really a
1542
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:28.439
great candidate to power humanity. But sunlight turns off. It's
1543
01:29:28.470 --> 01:29:31.350
called nighttime. If you solve that fundamental problem, you fix
1544
01:29:31.390 --> 01:29:36.390
solar everywhere. So the company's orbital mirror is set to launch.
1545
01:29:36.890 --> 01:29:38.449
This must be an older article. It says it's set
1546
01:29:38.470 --> 01:29:42.789
to launch in 2025. And you can apply for sunlight
1547
01:29:43.270 --> 01:29:46.050
for the next few months. There's limited availability and already
1548
01:29:46.109 --> 01:29:50.189
supposedly over 30,000 applicants. It really just sounds like a
1549
01:29:50.329 --> 01:29:55.210
one-time test, though. You only get four minutes. For a
1550
01:29:55.590 --> 01:30:05.270
diameter of 5 kilometers, no price listed. Okay. So is
1551
01:30:05.289 --> 01:30:07.689
there like a practical reason for this? I'm still a
1552
01:30:07.710 --> 01:30:11.229
little confused about it. You're just charging your solar panels
1553
01:30:11.310 --> 01:30:11.689
or what?
1554
01:30:13.109 --> 01:30:15.149
Well, there you go.
1555
01:30:15.840 --> 01:30:17.189
Yeah. Some nighttime sun.
1556
01:30:17.350 --> 01:30:19.960
Or I wonder how that would work if it's like
1557
01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:24.920
a cloudy day or something. I wonder if there's... What if, like,
1558
01:30:24.939 --> 01:30:27.800
you rigged up inside your house, let's just say, like
1559
01:30:27.939 --> 01:30:30.899
a giant, like, remember those Jiffy Pop popcorn thing? Oh, wait,
1560
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:34.850
that's a scene from a movie, Real Genius with Al Kilmer, right?
1561
01:30:34.890 --> 01:30:36.630
That's what I keep thinking in my head because wasn't
1562
01:30:36.670 --> 01:30:41.390
that exactly that? But wasn't there– I'm not wrong here, right?
1563
01:30:41.409 --> 01:30:43.689
That was the plot of that freaking movie, right?
1564
01:30:43.710 --> 01:30:44.130
Yeah, yeah.
1565
01:30:44.189 --> 01:30:47.439
It was a satellite, a mirror satellite that could beam–
1566
01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:50.680
the power of the sun down as like a laser beam.
1567
01:30:50.800 --> 01:30:53.060
And it was a military application. That was the whole,
1568
01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:54.939
they found out they were working on or like they
1569
01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:55.340
were built. Yeah.
1570
01:30:55.359 --> 01:30:55.640
Anyways.
1571
01:30:57.109 --> 01:30:59.270
Good movie if you haven't seen it great great great
1572
01:30:59.310 --> 01:31:02.510
movie um from the 80s uh but yeah anyways but
1573
01:31:02.529 --> 01:31:05.250
yeah so i'm like yeah you're telling me that if
1574
01:31:05.310 --> 01:31:08.090
there there's a company out there or somebody's floating around
1575
01:31:08.130 --> 01:31:09.829
the idea that they can just beam me down a
1576
01:31:09.850 --> 01:31:12.970
little sunlight and of course charge it as a sunlight
1577
01:31:13.029 --> 01:31:16.149
subscription as a service which is ridiculous that's what's funny
1578
01:31:16.170 --> 01:31:18.010
to me about this whole story now we're going to
1579
01:31:18.029 --> 01:31:21.850
sell you the sun for a monthly fee Get out
1580
01:31:21.909 --> 01:31:23.430
of here. If they could figure out how to do
1581
01:31:23.449 --> 01:31:27.149
that with oxygen or water, well, water I'm sure, but oxygen,
1582
01:31:27.189 --> 01:31:31.369
they would probably do that too, right? Just another excuse
1583
01:31:31.409 --> 01:31:33.479
to make money. It's always an excuse to make money.
1584
01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:38.079
This goes totally against the stories and articles about Bill
1585
01:31:38.100 --> 01:31:40.100
Gates trying to figure out ways to blot out the
1586
01:31:40.140 --> 01:31:43.600
sun during the day. It's like we've got Gates and
1587
01:31:43.939 --> 01:31:46.520
his cronies wanting to blot the sun out during the
1588
01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:49.109
day to save the planet. And then this company is
1589
01:31:49.149 --> 01:31:51.199
coming along saying, hey, you could buy some. You could
1590
01:31:51.220 --> 01:31:55.000
get yourself five kilometers of sunlight. And I was thinking
1591
01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:58.399
the same thing before you brought up real genius. It's like, okay,
1592
01:31:58.439 --> 01:32:00.560
what's the real reason for this? I'm sure there's a
1593
01:32:01.180 --> 01:32:04.890
military technology that would love to be able to get
1594
01:32:04.909 --> 01:32:07.069
a high charge on some of their stuff in the
1595
01:32:07.109 --> 01:32:10.630
middle of the night or something like that. Can't help
1596
01:32:10.649 --> 01:32:15.569
but think it's a military application. I mean, they're not,
1597
01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:20.130
who's going to, Are you really going to, like, charge
1598
01:32:20.170 --> 01:32:23.970
your house, right? Are you going to buy some sunlight
1599
01:32:24.010 --> 01:32:26.390
at night to get some extra charge on your house?
1600
01:32:26.510 --> 01:32:29.649
Is that even, like, feasible? Does that save anybody any
1601
01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:31.949
money living in the suburbs? I highly doubt it.
1602
01:32:34.539 --> 01:32:38.819
Maybe we're just not being open-minded enough about that. Maybe
1603
01:32:38.840 --> 01:32:41.680
it's a very small, pinhole amount of it, and maybe
1604
01:32:41.739 --> 01:32:43.939
it's not dangerous like a laser. Maybe it just hits
1605
01:32:44.500 --> 01:32:49.020
an accurate place, because science... right? Yeah, no, I mean,
1606
01:32:49.039 --> 01:32:51.319
I think it's hype, to be honest with you.
1607
01:32:51.359 --> 01:32:54.939
Yeah, gotta be. This article we're reading from came out
1608
01:32:55.060 --> 01:32:57.819
in 2024, so where's the beef? Where is it? I mean,
1609
01:32:57.939 --> 01:32:59.909
are we using it? Where's the update on this?
1610
01:33:01.210 --> 01:33:03.250
Yeah, that might have been my failure because I was
1611
01:33:03.289 --> 01:33:05.729
just looking for sources about this, although I did hear
1612
01:33:05.989 --> 01:33:08.270
about it, some sort of update or news related, but
1613
01:33:08.289 --> 01:33:10.390
it was just in a video. I just couldn't find
1614
01:33:10.630 --> 01:33:15.270
an actual news source, but But it exists. So maybe
1615
01:33:15.329 --> 01:33:17.909
it's out there. Maybe it's active. Maybe that's what I'd heard.
1616
01:33:17.949 --> 01:33:21.710
They're like, yeah. They're like, oh, yeah. Come on in.
1617
01:33:21.729 --> 01:33:25.000
We're open for business. We'll find their website and see
1618
01:33:25.060 --> 01:33:25.939
how much they charge.
1619
01:33:27.460 --> 01:33:28.840
Buy some sunlight at night.
1620
01:33:30.260 --> 01:33:30.779
Hey, kid.
1621
01:33:34.140 --> 01:33:36.380
I mean, it's bad enough here in Texas as it is.
1622
01:33:36.420 --> 01:33:40.199
We've got these people that roll around on little like
1623
01:33:40.439 --> 01:33:44.920
wheelie boards with iPads all day and into the evening
1624
01:33:45.020 --> 01:33:48.039
knocking on everybody's door in the burbs trying to sell
1625
01:33:48.060 --> 01:33:53.369
them solar panels. So I guess if this was a thing,
1626
01:33:53.390 --> 01:33:56.850
I would be seeing the guy selling the sun at
1627
01:33:56.930 --> 01:33:59.590
night following the solar panel guys, right? They got to
1628
01:33:59.609 --> 01:34:01.850
be selling this stuff to someone. They certainly aren't selling
1629
01:34:01.939 --> 01:34:03.800
it to us plebs in the burbs.
1630
01:34:06.670 --> 01:34:09.569
Almost like an ambulance chaser but not really.
1631
01:34:09.329 --> 01:34:12.890
Yeah exactly if you're a sales if you're a door-to-door
1632
01:34:12.949 --> 01:34:15.680
salesperson you might want to try selling sunlight at night
1633
01:34:16.180 --> 01:34:21.460
just follow the solar panel people around what's this about
1634
01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:26.020
uh vandenberg space force event what what happened here man
1635
01:34:26.470 --> 01:34:27.590
um you hear about.
1636
01:34:27.449 --> 01:34:31.850
This I saw it briefly, and I don't know if
1637
01:34:31.890 --> 01:34:33.970
there was a follow-up on this, but it was a
1638
01:34:34.010 --> 01:34:37.850
little shocking to see members of the military, if I'm
1639
01:34:37.890 --> 01:34:41.710
not mistaken, and reporters being ripped out of their vehicles
1640
01:34:41.810 --> 01:34:47.479
at gunpoint by privacy or somebody. It's wild.
1641
01:34:47.939 --> 01:34:52.340
Wow. Yeah, journalists arriving at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
1642
01:34:52.359 --> 01:34:54.300
It used to be an Air Force base, by the way.
1643
01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:57.520
They took that land in an imminent domain seizure. You
1644
01:34:57.560 --> 01:35:01.729
don't know already, but Anyways, at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California,
1645
01:35:03.369 --> 01:35:07.560
Golden Shovel. So journalists were arriving for a Golden Shovel ceremony,
1646
01:35:07.640 --> 01:35:11.060
marking the start of construction on a new training facility
1647
01:35:11.119 --> 01:35:15.359
for missile operators, but they never made it to the event.
1648
01:35:16.079 --> 01:35:21.640
These were reporters from news channel NewsHawk, KSBY, and the
1649
01:35:21.720 --> 01:35:25.489
Santa Maria Times, the Lompoc Record. They'd been invited to
1650
01:35:25.569 --> 01:35:27.670
attend and were waiting at the front gate to join
1651
01:35:27.710 --> 01:35:32.649
the usual media caravan. Then the welcome turned into a nightmare.
1652
01:35:32.670 --> 01:35:36.550
Security officers suddenly stopped the convoy with hands raised, ordered
1653
01:35:36.569 --> 01:35:39.930
the reporters out of their vehicles, guns came out, sirens blared,
1654
01:35:40.569 --> 01:35:45.050
barriers slammed into place at the gate. Two military members
1655
01:35:45.170 --> 01:35:48.470
traveling with the group, an enlisted service member and a
1656
01:35:48.489 --> 01:35:52.850
junior officer, were handcuffed and hauled away in base vehicles.
1657
01:35:53.449 --> 01:35:56.189
The civilian reporters were ordered to sit on the curb.
1658
01:35:56.770 --> 01:35:59.029
Journalists were detained for more than 30 minutes, causing them
1659
01:35:59.050 --> 01:36:02.569
to miss the event they were intending to cover. Everyone
1660
01:36:02.630 --> 01:36:06.029
was eventually cleared and released without further incident. Base personnel
1661
01:36:06.069 --> 01:36:11.420
apologized to news channel reporters. Vandenberg officials later blamed a
1662
01:36:11.479 --> 01:36:14.239
communication breakdown and said the base has been dealing with
1663
01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:18.729
an increased number of unauthorized entry attempts. Interesting. I wonder
1664
01:36:18.739 --> 01:36:22.390
what they mean by that. Yeah, so I guess they
1665
01:36:22.430 --> 01:36:24.489
had bad info and they pulled guns on everybody.
1666
01:36:26.250 --> 01:36:28.810
I am so sure the reason that we're not getting
1667
01:36:28.869 --> 01:36:31.890
more information about this, just taking a wild guess here, Hesher,
1668
01:36:31.989 --> 01:36:34.350
stop me if you think I'm way off of left
1669
01:36:34.369 --> 01:36:39.229
field here, but we've seen a lot of these biometric
1670
01:36:39.289 --> 01:36:44.869
facial recognition and sometimes even these license plate readers misidentify
1671
01:36:44.890 --> 01:36:49.189
people and set off these false positives for things. I
1672
01:36:49.250 --> 01:36:53.630
can only imagine who or what was Maybe it had
1673
01:36:53.670 --> 01:36:56.050
something to do with the military members who were traveling.
1674
01:36:56.069 --> 01:36:58.989
Yeah, why were military members cuffed? And there's no information
1675
01:36:59.029 --> 01:36:59.590
about that.
1676
01:37:00.409 --> 01:37:02.569
Yeah, that seems a little odd to me.
1677
01:37:02.670 --> 01:37:05.880
Kind of feels like the story is not the story,
1678
01:37:06.029 --> 01:37:08.310
you know, the story that we'd be interested in is
1679
01:37:08.479 --> 01:37:11.220
why were those military members with them and why were
1680
01:37:11.260 --> 01:37:15.819
they quote unquote misidentified or whatever? Why did they get handcuffed?
1681
01:37:15.859 --> 01:37:18.859
What's up with that? This feels like a cover story
1682
01:37:18.899 --> 01:37:21.279
to me almost. The journalists are really not that interesting.
1683
01:37:22.579 --> 01:37:25.760
I agree. So again, that's why I was like shocked
1684
01:37:26.180 --> 01:37:28.600
or maybe not shocked. Shocked but not shocked that there
1685
01:37:28.619 --> 01:37:32.439
was no follow-up here. But do a little deeper digging
1686
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:34.399
on this one because it does seem interesting. It doesn't
1687
01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:37.060
seem just a random thing. But then again, it could
1688
01:37:37.090 --> 01:37:39.010
just be. It could just be like a simple mistake.
1689
01:37:39.069 --> 01:37:40.970
I do see stories like that all the time. But again,
1690
01:37:41.010 --> 01:37:43.890
people's lives get ruined. I mean what if like something
1691
01:37:43.949 --> 01:37:47.529
happened and it's like– And a military people and it's
1692
01:37:47.550 --> 01:37:49.689
just like, shoot, anything could have gone wrong and somebody
1693
01:37:49.710 --> 01:37:51.909
could have got trigger happy and somebody could have lost
1694
01:37:51.949 --> 01:37:54.350
their life. You know, it's just like over what? Over
1695
01:37:54.390 --> 01:37:57.710
some like false positive. Thanks to this fancy, awesome, hyped
1696
01:37:57.789 --> 01:38:00.869
up technology that's supposed to save the world. You know,
1697
01:38:00.909 --> 01:38:01.569
trust me, bro.
1698
01:38:02.130 --> 01:38:06.140
So their flock camera and their Palantir gave some false positives, maybe.
1699
01:38:08.180 --> 01:38:11.020
Speaking of that, you should grab this video that I
1700
01:38:11.079 --> 01:38:16.140
shared in the discord chat. See this Ben Jordan thing?
1701
01:38:17.699 --> 01:38:21.720
Let's see here. In the boiler room one.
1702
01:38:22.079 --> 01:38:23.470
In fact, you might want to save this for the
1703
01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:24.930
close It's so good.
1704
01:38:25.149 --> 01:38:27.050
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did.
1705
01:38:27.270 --> 01:38:27.609
I did.
1706
01:38:30.550 --> 01:38:33.390
Yeah, that one's great. Yeah, we'll save that one. And
1707
01:38:34.229 --> 01:38:36.449
we've got that other one we're saving for the end, too. Okay,
1708
01:38:36.470 --> 01:38:40.149
don't let me forget. And we are getting a little
1709
01:38:40.189 --> 01:38:42.409
bit closer to it here. We need to talk about
1710
01:38:42.449 --> 01:38:48.779
Hayden Pinatrier, though. She is no longer... with us she's
1711
01:38:48.859 --> 01:38:53.760
passed away at a fairly young age and the internet
1712
01:38:53.800 --> 01:38:58.189
sleuths and the mommy bloggers and the tinfoil hat wearers
1713
01:38:58.310 --> 01:39:02.989
out there are on this case they're on it like
1714
01:39:03.149 --> 01:39:06.989
flies on you know what um and here we've got
1715
01:39:08.149 --> 01:39:11.420
a headline about her boyfriend and his brother calling 911
1716
01:39:11.420 --> 01:39:15.699
from the apartment where she died Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend and
1717
01:39:15.760 --> 01:39:18.939
his brother called 911 to say the actress was unresponsive
1718
01:39:19.699 --> 01:39:22.479
at a South Carolina apartment complex where medics would later
1719
01:39:22.500 --> 01:39:27.729
declare her dead, according to a newly released police report. Panettiere, yeah,
1720
01:39:27.750 --> 01:39:30.930
we know she was in those shows. She was very popular.
1721
01:39:30.949 --> 01:39:35.329
A Greenville police officer who responded to the scene interviewed
1722
01:39:35.369 --> 01:39:40.380
brothers Brian and Zach Hickerson, who said they called 911,
1723
01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:44.439
according to police report. I spoke with Zach Hickerson first.
1724
01:39:44.939 --> 01:39:47.739
He advised this was his brother's girlfriend, the officer wrote
1725
01:39:47.760 --> 01:39:51.069
in the report. Brian Hickerson showed the officer a bag
1726
01:39:51.109 --> 01:39:55.210
of Panettiere's medications. The report said many details of the
1727
01:39:55.250 --> 01:40:04.600
police report are redacted, including a list of her medications. Yeah,
1728
01:40:04.609 --> 01:40:06.600
this is the interesting part. Two weeks before her death,
1729
01:40:07.060 --> 01:40:11.770
Panettiere shot a campaign video for PETA protesting marine parks
1730
01:40:11.829 --> 01:40:14.640
like SeaWorld. The organization wrote in a statement in the video,
1731
01:40:14.659 --> 01:40:17.439
the actress laying in a bathtub. That's not the interesting part.
1732
01:40:18.220 --> 01:40:21.739
The interesting part is, I'll just take it off screen
1733
01:40:21.779 --> 01:40:24.859
here and just riff it. The interesting part is she
1734
01:40:24.899 --> 01:40:26.920
wrote a book, or she was writing a book, I
1735
01:40:26.939 --> 01:40:30.140
can't remember, and then she was going on podcasts talking
1736
01:40:30.199 --> 01:40:36.890
about how she was basically Hollywood trafficked in some pretty
1737
01:40:36.930 --> 01:40:41.920
creepy situations by people that she trusted. And people are
1738
01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:47.439
making assumptions about the identity of the unnamed man, unnamed
1739
01:40:47.520 --> 01:40:51.699
by her man, that she was, quote unquote, placed in
1740
01:40:51.779 --> 01:40:57.439
bed next to. So, of course, the theories are running
1741
01:40:57.539 --> 01:41:02.819
wild about her mysterious death. And these redactions in the
1742
01:41:02.840 --> 01:41:04.479
police report are not helping matters.
1743
01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:09.039
Yeah, no, and I think there's been more weird stuff
1744
01:41:09.079 --> 01:41:10.899
coming out. They said that they found the same types
1745
01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:16.800
of drugs in the system of multiple people. All sorts of, yeah,
1746
01:41:16.840 --> 01:41:18.739
just lots of weird stuff here. But yeah, I think
1747
01:41:18.770 --> 01:41:21.609
the last thing she was on camera doing was some
1748
01:41:21.649 --> 01:41:24.550
sort of interview and talking about this thing. And I
1749
01:41:24.590 --> 01:41:26.289
think you're right, she was writing a book, or she
1750
01:41:26.329 --> 01:41:29.409
did write one or something like that. And yes, you're right,
1751
01:41:29.430 --> 01:41:32.439
people are jumping to assumptions. We probably won't even name
1752
01:41:32.460 --> 01:41:33.260
the person, but.
1753
01:41:34.119 --> 01:41:34.380
Yeah.
1754
01:41:34.520 --> 01:41:35.979
So the, all she had said that it was just
1755
01:41:36.060 --> 01:41:39.920
a very famous person. So, you know, anyway.
1756
01:41:40.039 --> 01:41:40.380
Yeah.
1757
01:41:41.420 --> 01:41:43.239
I would argue the person they're saying it is wasn't
1758
01:41:43.260 --> 01:41:45.890
that famous, but whatever. Famous enough, I guess.
1759
01:41:47.090 --> 01:41:49.590
Yeah. She, she made it sound like it was someone
1760
01:41:50.130 --> 01:41:51.210
everybody would recognize.
1761
01:41:51.970 --> 01:41:54.189
At the time, maybe a lot of people, I think
1762
01:41:54.229 --> 01:41:57.170
he's kind of died out of popularity. Who? I don't know.
1763
01:41:58.310 --> 01:42:05.430
Right, right, right. Well, um, okay. Let's, uh, Move on
1764
01:42:05.489 --> 01:42:12.930
to the weirdo terrorizing Philadelphians. So, Philadelphians are being terrorized
1765
01:42:12.989 --> 01:42:19.260
by a weirdo in a Chucky-style mask. Okay. Police say
1766
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:24.359
he remains on the loose. The creep, unmasked as 22-year-old
1767
01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:30.770
Zimer Hughes, allegedly threatened morning commuters, asking one woman jogging,
1768
01:42:30.989 --> 01:42:35.420
are you ready to... You know, not be alive anymore.
1769
01:42:35.979 --> 01:42:38.859
Philadelphia police said Hughes may have fled Pennsylvania and is
1770
01:42:38.939 --> 01:42:42.729
known to frequent West Coast, the West Coast for work,
1771
01:42:42.750 --> 01:42:46.350
specifically Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He has a tendency
1772
01:42:46.390 --> 01:42:49.609
to travel back and forth to the West Coast. I
1773
01:42:49.630 --> 01:42:53.649
guess they had this guy and now they don't. So
1774
01:42:53.689 --> 01:42:57.340
there you go. There's your weirdo, your Chucky Mast weirdo
1775
01:42:58.399 --> 01:42:59.300
terrorizing people.
1776
01:43:01.250 --> 01:43:02.609
This is why we need the ballroom.
1777
01:43:02.789 --> 01:43:07.500
This is why we need flock cameras, guys. We need
1778
01:43:07.520 --> 01:43:10.319
a ballroom. We need a helipad. We need flock cameras.
1779
01:43:10.359 --> 01:43:17.420
We need to give up all of our privacy. And,
1780
01:43:17.539 --> 01:43:18.079
oh boy.
1781
01:43:18.100 --> 01:43:20.029
It is weird, but there had to have been something
1782
01:43:20.050 --> 01:43:22.550
in that story or I wouldn't have even presented it
1783
01:43:22.590 --> 01:43:24.949
to you as a possibility. Something to talk about. I'm
1784
01:43:25.489 --> 01:43:28.289
trying to remember what it was now. The guy was...
1785
01:43:30.270 --> 01:43:33.520
He's weird. But that's a creepy look there, though. How
1786
01:43:33.550 --> 01:43:33.979
about that?
1787
01:43:35.270 --> 01:43:42.109
Yeah. They don't... Let's see. They have all this camera
1788
01:43:42.130 --> 01:43:46.819
footage of him, like CCTV footage and stuff. Here's another
1789
01:43:46.880 --> 01:43:51.920
shot of him. So, if you see this guy... I
1790
01:43:52.439 --> 01:43:53.880
don't know. Is he armed and dangerous, or is he
1791
01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:58.050
just threatening people? I mean, I'm a little confused about... Why,
1792
01:43:58.090 --> 01:43:58.729
he's a weirdo?
1793
01:43:58.779 --> 01:44:03.149
He's harassing. He's just threatening people. He's a weirdo. Yeah.
1794
01:44:04.029 --> 01:44:04.550
I don't.
1795
01:44:06.109 --> 01:44:06.289
Know.
1796
01:44:06.449 --> 01:44:08.710
Okay, let's see. Police are working with the U.S. Marshals
1797
01:44:08.729 --> 01:44:11.210
to bring Hughes back for prosecution. He has an active
1798
01:44:11.250 --> 01:44:16.449
arrest warrant, faces charges of terroristic threats, harassment, assault, reckless endangerment,
1799
01:44:16.989 --> 01:44:20.630
and intimidation. He may also face additional weapons charges for
1800
01:44:20.750 --> 01:44:24.529
implying he had a weapon to the jogger. Philadelphia officials
1801
01:44:24.590 --> 01:44:27.960
believe Hughes committed Creeped out at least 15 people during
1802
01:44:28.079 --> 01:44:31.460
his spree last week. A spree of creeping people out.
1803
01:44:31.539 --> 01:44:37.939
I guess... I don't know. I guess that's illegal. It
1804
01:44:38.119 --> 01:44:40.819
does say charges of assault, though. Why are they not
1805
01:44:40.960 --> 01:44:46.659
saying anything about assault? It's like a weirdo creeping people out. Threats.
1806
01:44:46.680 --> 01:44:50.750
Because he's threatening. That is assault. They're not saying that...
1807
01:44:51.779 --> 01:44:54.840
physically touch them or battery or anything you know so.
1808
01:44:54.739 --> 01:44:58.289
Let's say he's facing charges of terroristic threats and.
1809
01:44:58.229 --> 01:45:03.430
Assault there we go the terroristic threats thank you what's
1810
01:45:03.470 --> 01:45:08.109
the difference right if i threaten you that's assault by
1811
01:45:08.130 --> 01:45:11.619
definition right and again your results may vary depending on
1812
01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:13.939
where you live to what degree that's against the law
1813
01:45:13.960 --> 01:45:17.399
or whatever right but what's this other thing you're like
1814
01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:21.560
terroristic threat Got this weird, creepy guy walking around with
1815
01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:24.119
a mask in Philadelphia. But he's oh, but he's known
1816
01:45:24.159 --> 01:45:26.779
to hang out in the west end of California. Like
1817
01:45:28.180 --> 01:45:30.739
just the whole thing is just very strange. And again,
1818
01:45:30.779 --> 01:45:34.789
you know, the world of surveillance and cameras and Halloween
1819
01:45:34.810 --> 01:45:38.430
is right around the corner, you know. And there was
1820
01:45:38.449 --> 01:45:41.329
this other thing where they were suggesting on Reddit that
1821
01:45:41.369 --> 01:45:45.510
everybody gets together on Halloween night and, you know. deflock
1822
01:45:45.529 --> 01:45:47.529
their town if you know what i mean which would
1823
01:45:47.550 --> 01:45:49.770
be the perfect time to do it since everybody's already
1824
01:45:49.810 --> 01:45:52.489
wearing a costume and masks and stuff and i'm just
1825
01:45:52.569 --> 01:45:55.420
like there you go see yeah a purge night get
1826
01:45:55.479 --> 01:45:56.100
out of here.
1827
01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:59.859
Halloween purge night plot to take down flock cameras spreads
1828
01:45:59.960 --> 01:46:05.479
online oh boy it got the news interested a loosely
1829
01:46:05.760 --> 01:46:09.750
organized social media push urging americans to disable vandalize or
1830
01:46:09.789 --> 01:46:13.250
obscure flock safeties license plate cameras on halloween night this
1831
01:46:13.310 --> 01:46:18.109
year The campaign's actual footprint is small, they say. But
1832
01:46:18.149 --> 01:46:21.039
there are far more posts reporting on the phenomena from
1833
01:46:21.100 --> 01:46:24.560
accounts such as Polymarket and DramaAlert. I've never heard of
1834
01:46:24.659 --> 01:46:29.560
DramaAlert before, which are then discussed on platforms such as Reddit.
1835
01:46:32.020 --> 01:46:33.020
DramaAlert.
1836
01:46:35.590 --> 01:46:39.670
They do note, though, a safer, proven alternative is local advocacy.
1837
01:46:39.829 --> 01:46:43.430
DFLOC's National Week of Action says, August 16th through 22nd.
1838
01:46:43.470 --> 01:46:46.069
How's that worked out for nine out of 10 of
1839
01:46:46.090 --> 01:46:47.989
the people who've tried that in their communities? Yeah.
1840
01:46:48.069 --> 01:46:51.100
Did, did that work out very well? Uh, so yeah,
1841
01:46:51.119 --> 01:46:53.619
they've got, you know, campaigns that are pushing city councils.
1842
01:46:53.659 --> 01:46:56.000
They're saying, you know, don't do this. You've got to
1843
01:46:56.020 --> 01:46:59.279
say for proven alternative, it's a proven alternative ruckus.
1844
01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:05.520
Our, our governor, um, Xavier, uh, professor Xavier. Oh, sorry. Um, Abbott, Abbott,
1845
01:47:05.699 --> 01:47:09.289
governor Abbott here. Uh, he, he's suddenly now he's like, he's,
1846
01:47:10.159 --> 01:47:12.500
They finally got to him and said, well, sir, everybody's
1847
01:47:12.520 --> 01:47:14.920
a little pissed off at this stuff. And so he's like,
1848
01:47:15.300 --> 01:47:17.039
he's come out. Oh, you know what? We're putting a
1849
01:47:17.119 --> 01:47:19.550
halt on this data center stuff until, you know, we
1850
01:47:19.560 --> 01:47:21.810
can figure all this out. And he's like, you know,
1851
01:47:21.850 --> 01:47:25.550
not in my state, mister. Like, wait a minute. I'm confused.
1852
01:47:26.270 --> 01:47:26.649
Yeah.
1853
01:47:26.850 --> 01:47:27.449
Okay.
1854
01:47:29.329 --> 01:47:33.949
All right. Speaking of rebranding, maybe this is good news.
1855
01:47:34.010 --> 01:47:36.529
I don't know. Is this good news? Is MySpace coming back?
1856
01:47:36.729 --> 01:47:43.000
My brand comeback? Can MySpace make a comeback? out of pr-agent.media.
1857
01:47:43.119 --> 01:47:47.520
Never heard of them. But yeah, MySpace is planning a relaunch.
1858
01:47:48.430 --> 01:47:53.710
How about that? From a PR perspective, MySpace has an
1859
01:47:53.750 --> 01:47:58.050
advantage that new platforms have to painstakingly build up a
1860
01:47:58.109 --> 01:48:01.369
high recognition value. The very name evokes memories for many
1861
01:48:01.430 --> 01:48:05.409
former users of an early era social media. These include
1862
01:48:05.510 --> 01:48:09.729
individually designed profiles, personal top eight lists, custom background images,
1863
01:48:10.489 --> 01:48:15.979
And music on profile pages. Cool. I miss those days.
1864
01:48:17.119 --> 01:48:19.550
These very elements could be... See, the fact that I
1865
01:48:19.609 --> 01:48:22.789
miss them... proves their point. These very elements could become
1866
01:48:22.829 --> 01:48:26.510
the basis for communication in a relaunch. MySpace wouldn't simply
1867
01:48:26.550 --> 01:48:28.909
have to launch another social media platform. The brand could
1868
01:48:28.949 --> 01:48:33.170
make its own history and integral part of its comeback.
1869
01:48:33.289 --> 01:48:36.850
So nostalgia is a communication tool. MySpace is coming back.
1870
01:48:37.369 --> 01:48:39.670
It's coming back. Who do you think owns it now? Uh,
1871
01:48:40.140 --> 01:48:42.560
Is it owned by a foreign country, a foreign interest?
1872
01:48:43.739 --> 01:48:45.100
What else is going on with the relaunch?
1873
01:48:45.119 --> 01:48:50.500
Well, it's up already. I don't even know. It's MySpace.com.
1874
01:48:50.659 --> 01:48:52.640
It's always been up, hasn't it, to a certain extent?
1875
01:48:52.680 --> 01:48:54.930
It's like it didn't really go anywhere, I thought. That's
1876
01:48:54.970 --> 01:48:58.829
what I thought. But it looks different. It definitely looks
1877
01:49:00.130 --> 01:49:01.489
modern and cool.
1878
01:49:02.010 --> 01:49:02.449
All righty.
1879
01:49:02.609 --> 01:49:03.449
Same, you know.
1880
01:49:04.159 --> 01:49:06.699
Well, folks, we'll see you on MySpace. How about that?
1881
01:49:07.060 --> 01:49:08.060
MySpace me.
1882
01:49:08.119 --> 01:49:09.319
Follow me at, I don't know.
1883
01:49:09.359 --> 01:49:10.060
I don't have to figure.
1884
01:49:10.140 --> 01:49:12.619
I've got to find my login. I got it right here.
1885
01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:15.510
Here you go. There it is. This is MySpace. The
1886
01:49:15.550 --> 01:49:19.250
modern MySpace. Very music-centric. You'll have to, like, mute your
1887
01:49:19.289 --> 01:49:21.170
tab if you go visit it if you don't want
1888
01:49:21.189 --> 01:49:23.949
to blare the music because it starts playing automatically.
1889
01:49:24.369 --> 01:49:24.670
Oh, yeah.
1890
01:49:24.689 --> 01:49:26.569
So that's just like it used to be, right?
1891
01:49:26.810 --> 01:49:26.989
Yep.
1892
01:49:27.029 --> 01:49:31.359
And look, Kesher. There you go. In the news section, Slipknot.
1893
01:49:31.520 --> 01:49:34.310
That's right, because he did... this is news, right?
1894
01:49:34.430 --> 01:49:34.689
Yeah.
1895
01:49:34.710 --> 01:49:35.449
Yeah. Yeah.
1896
01:49:35.510 --> 01:49:36.170
Sid's out.
1897
01:49:36.390 --> 01:49:40.689
Yeah. Sayonara Sid. Uh, just kidding. But, uh, yeah, but yeah,
1898
01:49:40.710 --> 01:49:42.170
here it is. Look at this. Look at how they
1899
01:49:42.189 --> 01:49:44.609
did it. Like featured and music. But if you go
1900
01:49:44.649 --> 01:49:49.979
to featured, it's mostly music. So it seems to be like, uh,
1901
01:49:50.039 --> 01:49:53.899
like it's like an MTV version of like Instagram or something.
1902
01:49:53.939 --> 01:49:58.199
You know what I mean? It's very nice, trendy looking photos,
1903
01:49:58.399 --> 01:50:00.739
good quality stuff, you know, but you know what I
1904
01:50:00.779 --> 01:50:02.989
don't see? I don't see any propaganda.
1905
01:50:03.560 --> 01:50:03.800
Yeah.
1906
01:50:03.810 --> 01:50:08.100
I don't see war. I don't see dead kids. I
1907
01:50:08.140 --> 01:50:12.659
don't see any politicians yet. You know what? I don't
1908
01:50:12.840 --> 01:50:17.020
see Trump or the White House or anyone or anything
1909
01:50:17.060 --> 01:50:20.359
like that. I just see fun, entertainment, friends, food, music.
1910
01:50:20.380 --> 01:50:21.899
Wait a minute. Who's that guy with the white beard?
1911
01:50:21.960 --> 01:50:23.000
Scroll back down. Who's that?
1912
01:50:23.279 --> 01:50:23.939
Which one? Let's see.
1913
01:50:24.579 --> 01:50:26.319
Right there. Who is that? Is that Steve Bannon?
1914
01:50:26.460 --> 01:50:30.760
I don't know. In memoriam, somebody passed away. Dublin's Irish
1915
01:50:30.779 --> 01:50:35.460
Museum out of art for Glenn. answered final respects.
1916
01:50:35.319 --> 01:50:37.600
All right okay i was afraid i was afraid it
1917
01:50:37.659 --> 01:50:39.619
was bannon for a second but it's not.
1918
01:50:39.479 --> 01:50:42.670
Rest in peace so but yeah so there you go
1919
01:50:42.890 --> 01:50:47.090
so everybody i guess uh my space is back baby.
1920
01:50:47.109 --> 01:50:52.250
All right creative accident says ruckus put me in your
1921
01:50:52.329 --> 01:50:56.010
top eight you got it buddy you're in there you
1922
01:50:56.029 --> 01:50:59.789
got it we got room for seven more room for
1923
01:50:59.810 --> 01:51:09.279
seven more So, yeah, MySpace making the comeback. And they
1924
01:51:09.479 --> 01:51:14.470
are pitching itself as an escape from the algorithm. Here's
1925
01:51:14.510 --> 01:51:17.550
another article on it. This might be worth looking at.
1926
01:51:19.909 --> 01:51:23.029
MySpace is planning a comeback and pitching itself as an
1927
01:51:23.090 --> 01:51:27.470
escape from the algorithm. Is Tom involved? Because we all
1928
01:51:27.510 --> 01:51:29.550
want to know what the deal is. Is Tom still
1929
01:51:29.569 --> 01:51:33.630
in it? This time, the platform's owners, brothers Tim and
1930
01:51:33.710 --> 01:51:36.590
Chris Vanderhoek, are pitching it as an antidote to the
1931
01:51:36.649 --> 01:51:40.170
social media experience everyone seems to be complaining about. So
1932
01:51:40.210 --> 01:51:43.090
there's a documentary. In a new documentary, they announced a
1933
01:51:43.149 --> 01:51:45.810
relaunch built around the idea that people want to control
1934
01:51:45.850 --> 01:51:48.529
their own feeds instead of being served what an algorithm
1935
01:51:48.550 --> 01:51:53.210
decides they should see. After reportedly losing more than $ 150
1936
01:51:52.810 --> 01:51:57.600
million on the platform, they're betting that frustration is finally
1937
01:51:57.640 --> 01:52:03.039
big enough to act on. They might be right. They
1938
01:52:03.079 --> 01:52:06.880
might be right. These social media feeds are trash. Trashy.
1939
01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:07.720
So trashy.
1940
01:52:11.399 --> 01:52:13.369
But don't forget to follow me on social media.
1941
01:52:13.430 --> 01:52:16.130
Yeah, that's right. Follow. Give us a like and a subscribe,
1942
01:52:16.170 --> 01:52:21.270
would you? All right. Let's see here. So I think
1943
01:52:21.310 --> 01:52:26.970
we're down to Ben Jordan and the Sith. What do
1944
01:52:26.989 --> 01:52:28.989
you think? Did I skip anything, man?
1945
01:52:32.119 --> 01:52:33.659
I was excited to go to Phlox.
1946
01:52:36.449 --> 01:52:41.090
All right, all right. Let's see here. Oh, it's a reel.
1947
01:52:41.229 --> 01:52:44.319
Reels are always fun to try to play. So let
1948
01:52:44.359 --> 01:52:47.640
me share this tab, refresh it, and try to unmute
1949
01:52:47.699 --> 01:52:48.960
it quickly. Let's see how that goes.
1950
01:52:50.630 --> 01:52:51.850
Oh, so that's a Ben Jordan one?
1951
01:52:51.970 --> 01:52:53.510
Convention. Flock forward.
1952
01:52:53.930 --> 01:52:56.810
I bought a $ 350 ticket and booked a hotel room
1953
01:52:56.829 --> 01:52:59.770
at the Hilton in Atlanta. But then Flock said, no
1954
01:52:59.829 --> 01:53:03.310
journalists allowed. Which is really kind of weird, considering that
1955
01:53:03.329 --> 01:53:05.930
your tax dollars are usually paying for the tickets your
1956
01:53:05.970 --> 01:53:09.260
public servants buy. Then a Flock employee contacted the hotel
1957
01:53:09.300 --> 01:53:12.039
on my behalf and canceled my room without notifying me.
1958
01:53:12.479 --> 01:53:14.100
So I couldn't even be in the building.
1959
01:53:14.119 --> 01:53:16.739
We received an email from Shannon Jones.
1960
01:53:20.229 --> 01:53:22.640
Flock could keep our bodies out of the convention, but
1961
01:53:22.680 --> 01:53:26.659
they couldn't block our electromagnetic frequencies. We captured packets from
1962
01:53:26.880 --> 01:53:30.199
every single Wi-Fi channel we could find, using dozens of
1963
01:53:30.279 --> 01:53:33.689
Wi-Fi adapters in monitor mode. Then we used a 2.4
1964
01:53:33.689 --> 01:53:38.229
gigahertz parabolic dish antenna to passively capture the Bluetooth information
1965
01:53:38.310 --> 01:53:41.189
of just about everyone at the conference. Then we used
1966
01:53:41.239 --> 01:53:45.590
a log periodic dipole array and multiple SDRs to demodulate
1967
01:53:45.609 --> 01:53:48.869
the wireless microphones used in their stage and camera production.
1968
01:53:49.310 --> 01:53:52.149
These silly gooses even forgot to turn the microphones off
1969
01:53:52.170 --> 01:53:55.329
when they weren't presenting or recording, so we captured some
1970
01:53:55.369 --> 01:53:58.109
of their mingling. Then I flew my drone with a
1971
01:53:58.189 --> 01:54:00.689
zoom lens over the convention as it was letting out.
1972
01:54:01.319 --> 01:54:01.800
Cool!
1973
01:54:02.159 --> 01:54:04.880
Looks like lots of police and politicians got tons of
1974
01:54:04.920 --> 01:54:09.479
free swag. Do you recognize these attendees? If not, that's okay.
1975
01:54:09.880 --> 01:54:13.680
We can just use facial recognition. Oh my God. I
1976
01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:16.750
can't believe I was only a drone flight away from
1977
01:54:16.810 --> 01:54:21.029
Minnesota Senator Julianne Ortman. This little drone flight allowed us
1978
01:54:21.069 --> 01:54:23.529
to find out that Senator Ortman is a managing partner
1979
01:54:23.569 --> 01:54:27.300
of Public Safety Strategies Group, which is led by Rich Stanek,
1980
01:54:27.560 --> 01:54:31.399
the former sheriff of Hennepin County covering Minneapolis. And guess what?
1981
01:54:31.899 --> 01:54:35.340
Flock pays them as consultants to find confidential leads to
1982
01:54:35.399 --> 01:54:38.619
new police contracts around the country. This is just the
1983
01:54:38.739 --> 01:54:42.119
tip of the iceberg. So thank you, Flock, for banning
1984
01:54:42.140 --> 01:54:45.500
journalists from your dumbass convention. We had more fun out
1985
01:54:45.560 --> 01:54:47.340
here and learned a whole lot more.
1986
01:54:47.739 --> 01:54:58.489
Stay tuned. Well, I'm sure Flock is great. i'm sure
1987
01:54:58.569 --> 01:55:04.449
it's safe effective and necessary man good on them that's
1988
01:55:04.590 --> 01:55:06.710
that's a really cool presentation they did.
1989
01:55:07.850 --> 01:55:10.949
That might be one of my new all-time favorite things
1990
01:55:11.229 --> 01:55:13.489
ever i am like why did it take this long
1991
01:55:13.569 --> 01:55:17.449
why didn't anybody think of this to use the technocracy
1992
01:55:17.520 --> 01:55:20.760
against the technocrats and see how they like it that
1993
01:55:20.779 --> 01:55:23.720
was this this is freaking perfect this is like the
1994
01:55:23.779 --> 01:55:26.779
best thing ever it's great so I can't wait to
1995
01:55:26.850 --> 01:55:29.890
see their, all the results of this investigation thing that
1996
01:55:29.909 --> 01:55:32.689
they did here. I hope it's all above board. Cause again,
1997
01:55:32.729 --> 01:55:35.989
you can't trust anything, but that seemed pretty legit to me. And,
1998
01:55:36.090 --> 01:55:39.029
and it's so clever and it's just genius to, to
1999
01:55:39.069 --> 01:55:41.210
turn the tables on them. And that, that gives me
2000
01:55:41.270 --> 01:55:44.189
hope too. You know, we, we can do the same hopefully,
2001
01:55:44.210 --> 01:55:44.689
you know?
2002
01:55:45.109 --> 01:55:50.729
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Uh, that's really good. I'm glad you
2003
01:55:50.890 --> 01:55:53.890
made sure I got that one. That was great. Um,
2004
01:55:54.050 --> 01:55:54.670
let's see here.
2005
01:55:54.869 --> 01:55:58.939
So, In that spirit, this next guy is also pretty
2006
01:55:58.979 --> 01:56:00.680
damn cool in my book, too.
2007
01:56:00.819 --> 01:56:04.979
Yeah, definitely. I'm just going to play the video so
2008
01:56:05.039 --> 01:56:07.010
folks can see it. There's an article that goes with it,
2009
01:56:07.039 --> 01:56:11.600
but I think that the video will tell you everything
2010
01:56:11.680 --> 01:56:13.479
that you need to know. Let me see if I
2011
01:56:13.520 --> 01:56:19.729
can make it go full screen. Unmute tab. I have
2012
01:56:19.810 --> 01:56:23.750
so many sites that are permanently muted, so I have
2013
01:56:23.810 --> 01:56:31.100
to be careful of that. All right, here we go. Ah,
2014
01:56:31.380 --> 01:56:32.779
come on. Where's the sound?
2015
01:56:33.119 --> 01:56:38.510
Can follow and surveil. And we must continue utilizing Flock
2016
01:56:38.529 --> 01:56:42.989
technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum.
2017
01:56:43.189 --> 01:56:46.729
The debate over Flock cameras taking a bizarre turn as
2018
01:56:46.789 --> 01:56:49.869
Darth Vader entered the chat. That man dressed as the
2019
01:56:49.909 --> 01:56:52.149
Star Wars villain spoke at a city council meeting in
2020
01:56:52.189 --> 01:56:56.229
San Diego, appearing to voice support for the controversial cameras
2021
01:56:56.539 --> 01:57:00.140
that can read license plates. Flock has faced backlash over
2022
01:57:00.199 --> 01:57:03.979
privacy concerns. Dozens of police officers have been accused of
2023
01:57:04.060 --> 01:57:05.359
misusing the technology.
2024
01:57:06.470 --> 01:57:09.630
Yeah, to, like, stalk their ex-girlfriends and stuff, but, you know,
2025
01:57:09.770 --> 01:57:19.039
Darth Vader approves. You gotta follow and surveil the rebel scum. Unbelievable, man.
2026
01:57:20.380 --> 01:57:21.119
It's come to this.
2027
01:57:21.140 --> 01:57:23.819
That's pretty funny.
2028
01:57:24.520 --> 01:57:24.840
Yes.
2029
01:57:27.720 --> 01:57:30.180
What else could we do like that, where we show
2030
01:57:30.239 --> 01:57:33.779
up at, like, a... Maybe like dress like Satan, whatever
2031
01:57:33.800 --> 01:57:34.699
that would be like.
2032
01:57:34.739 --> 01:57:35.060
Yes.
2033
01:57:35.479 --> 01:57:38.920
More, more flock cameras or something.
2034
01:57:38.939 --> 01:57:39.199
I don't know.
2035
01:57:40.100 --> 01:57:41.060
More data centers.
2036
01:57:41.979 --> 01:57:45.710
Wormtongue perhaps, or, you know, some Tolkien character maybe.
2037
01:57:46.329 --> 01:57:46.550
Yeah.
2038
01:57:46.590 --> 01:57:46.949
Yeah.
2039
01:57:47.310 --> 01:57:48.369
Something. I don't know.
2040
01:57:48.390 --> 01:57:50.470
Come up with some cool ideas, guys. I'm down.
2041
01:57:50.789 --> 01:57:53.510
I think I have maybe, uh, hold on. We just
2042
01:57:53.569 --> 01:57:56.800
lost connection to the share. That always happens when I
2043
01:57:56.850 --> 01:58:00.279
stack too many tabs up, I lose connection to the share.
2044
01:58:01.439 --> 01:58:04.090
I think I have a longer version here. Let's give
2045
01:58:04.130 --> 01:58:09.930
it a try. The Emperor.
2046
01:58:10.310 --> 01:58:13.989
Is a fan of flock, and we must continue utilizing
2047
01:58:14.090 --> 01:58:17.890
flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the
2048
01:58:17.989 --> 01:58:21.979
rebel scum as they move from playground to playground, from
2049
01:58:22.029 --> 01:58:23.210
playground to pool.
2050
01:58:23.449 --> 01:58:26.399
From pool to gymnasium, because we all know that the
2051
01:58:26.479 --> 01:58:29.819
flock cameras are not only following the license plate readers,
2052
01:58:30.060 --> 01:58:33.340
they are following children. They are following children in parks
2053
01:58:33.619 --> 01:58:34.960
and gymnasiums, and.
2054
01:58:34.939 --> 01:58:37.560
We need this. I need this so I can stalk
2055
01:58:37.680 --> 01:58:43.100
my ex-girlfriend. Also, it should be known that the people
2056
01:58:43.159 --> 01:58:46.090
of this town, the pools that want their storm drains cleared,
2057
01:58:46.399 --> 01:58:49.430
they should not have their storm drains cleared. Because in
2058
01:58:49.470 --> 01:58:51.529
order to do that, we will have to raise taxes.
2059
01:58:51.890 --> 01:58:54.869
And how will the people trust this city council when
2060
01:58:54.909 --> 01:58:58.170
this city council continues to vote for surveillance technology that
2061
01:58:58.210 --> 01:58:58.890
imprisons them?
2062
01:58:59.270 --> 01:58:59.449
Ms.
2063
01:58:59.510 --> 01:59:02.149
Campbell, you must work on your Jedi mind tricks.
2064
01:59:02.489 --> 01:59:03.289
Do it like this.
2065
01:59:03.869 --> 01:59:06.180
And when you do it, make sure that when you're
2066
01:59:06.220 --> 01:59:10.100
double-speaking them into telling them that police services have become
2067
01:59:10.439 --> 01:59:15.340
more humanitarian, make sure that you don't emphasize the detail
2068
01:59:15.359 --> 01:59:17.500
that you put a ban on camping.
2069
01:59:17.640 --> 01:59:18.460
You put a ban.
2070
01:59:18.680 --> 01:59:23.510
You made criminalizing homelessness illegal. And that is why there
2071
01:59:23.750 --> 01:59:27.350
is no such thing as humanitarian policing for the homeless.
2072
01:59:27.609 --> 01:59:31.609
Because we have effectively criminalized homelessness, which is good. Now
2073
01:59:31.649 --> 01:59:34.350
we can staff... Now we can fill our jails with
2074
01:59:34.770 --> 01:59:38.659
free prison labor, especially like that of the Otay Mason
2075
01:59:38.680 --> 01:59:41.680
Detention Center, where they are making $ 1 a day for
2076
01:59:41.739 --> 01:59:45.000
working for 12 hours. And there have been multiple cases
2077
01:59:45.039 --> 01:59:48.539
of tuberculosis. Yes, and this is good. This is what
2078
01:59:48.579 --> 01:59:52.949
the emperor needs. This technology will help us find the
2079
01:59:53.010 --> 01:59:57.229
rebel scum and their hidden base on Hoth. This technology
2080
01:59:57.250 --> 02:00:00.569
will help us find Luke Skywalker as he traverses the
2081
02:00:00.649 --> 02:00:06.880
universe in his X-Wing. This technology is a necessary force.
2082
02:00:09.750 --> 02:00:19.350
Okay. Got to find the base on Hoth. San Diego
2083
02:00:19.680 --> 02:00:23.159
is a fun place full of characters. I will say that.
2084
02:00:23.939 --> 02:00:25.520
We seem to get a lot of good footage like
2085
02:00:25.560 --> 02:00:27.800
this out of the San Diego City Council meetings.
2086
02:00:30.409 --> 02:00:32.909
It's a shame their local officials have made it a
2087
02:00:33.010 --> 02:00:34.060
hell on Hoth.
2088
02:00:37.060 --> 02:00:39.520
Right. We need this flock technology.
2089
02:00:42.500 --> 02:00:42.979
Good stuff.
2090
02:00:43.500 --> 02:00:46.699
Not a very busy day at the city council meeting there.
2091
02:00:46.720 --> 02:00:49.180
It looks like we got three attendees in frame here.
2092
02:00:49.199 --> 02:00:54.529
The costume character thing is very popular these days, have
2093
02:00:54.569 --> 02:00:55.130
you noticed?
2094
02:00:55.770 --> 02:00:59.310
Yeah, it's a fun way of in-person trolling, I suppose.
2095
02:01:00.750 --> 02:01:04.560
Or if you're at a Jake Lang event in Minneapolis
2096
02:01:04.819 --> 02:01:06.840
and you're Spider-Man, you could always punch the guy.
2097
02:01:07.039 --> 02:01:07.260
Yeah.
2098
02:01:07.279 --> 02:01:08.479
Multiple times.
2099
02:01:08.539 --> 02:01:11.239
There's full LARPing going on. I mean, who would have
2100
02:01:11.260 --> 02:01:18.189
thought that politics would descend into actual LARPing? But here
2101
02:01:18.210 --> 02:01:18.529
we are.
2102
02:01:19.029 --> 02:01:20.029
We could have told you that.
2103
02:01:20.130 --> 02:01:27.619
Yeah. I think we might have. Oh, man. All right. Well,
2104
02:01:27.819 --> 02:01:30.949
let's head out of here, man. Let's shut it down.
2105
02:01:30.970 --> 02:01:32.310
You got anything else you want to throw out there
2106
02:01:32.329 --> 02:01:33.069
before we shut it down?
2107
02:01:35.590 --> 02:01:36.510
No, shut it down.
2108
02:01:36.890 --> 02:01:37.850
Shut it down.
2109
02:01:38.409 --> 02:01:39.640
Everybody, go to the website.
2110
02:01:40.300 --> 02:01:40.699
That's right.
2111
02:01:40.920 --> 02:01:41.359
How about that?
2112
02:01:41.779 --> 02:01:42.460
Yeah, visit us.
2113
02:01:42.500 --> 02:01:46.180
AlternateCurrentRadio.com. I actually remembered to log out this time before
2114
02:01:46.220 --> 02:01:47.039
I showed it to everybody.
2115
02:01:47.060 --> 02:01:47.380
Oh, nice.
2116
02:01:47.479 --> 02:01:50.649
Oh, yeah, AlternateCurrentRadio.com. So this is what it will actually
2117
02:01:50.670 --> 02:01:52.609
look like to you, hopefully. But we've got lots of
2118
02:01:53.130 --> 02:01:55.510
new stuff up there, the most recent episode of The
2119
02:01:55.590 --> 02:01:57.449
Boiler Room. Oh, wait, that's right now.
2120
02:01:57.609 --> 02:01:58.489
Hey, how about that?
2121
02:01:58.909 --> 02:02:01.430
But yeah, you'll find all the show notes and post-production
2122
02:02:01.470 --> 02:02:05.229
stuff there soon. You'll find the reposts of Sunday Wire.
2123
02:02:05.680 --> 02:02:07.479
In case you're lost on the internet and you can't
2124
02:02:07.520 --> 02:02:10.359
find 21 Wire's website, you can always find it here.
2125
02:02:10.380 --> 02:02:14.979
You can find my appearances in other programs, including Weaponized News.
2126
02:02:15.659 --> 02:02:17.939
Shout out to Sam Chaney, Weaponized News, who I will
2127
02:02:17.960 --> 02:02:22.479
be guest hosting for Sam Chaney this Friday for Weaponized News.
2128
02:02:22.590 --> 02:02:26.550
Make sure you guys check that out. Mystical American Patriot Society.
2129
02:02:27.149 --> 02:02:29.399
And of course, the odd man out who just got
2130
02:02:29.439 --> 02:02:32.319
pushed off the slider today, but he's probably got a
2131
02:02:32.359 --> 02:02:35.220
new one coming out soon, but he's still up here too,
2132
02:02:35.279 --> 02:02:37.859
in case you can't find him on the internet. He
2133
02:02:37.880 --> 02:02:40.460
got a shout out on the newest episode of Mystical
2134
02:02:40.500 --> 02:02:44.359
American Patriot Society. So that was kind of cool. But yeah,
2135
02:02:44.399 --> 02:02:49.760
he did the most recent episode in his incredibly detailed
2136
02:02:49.840 --> 02:02:53.359
series about those we don't speak of. Well, who is that? Well,
2137
02:02:53.460 --> 02:02:55.109
I would tell you, but we don't speak about it.
2138
02:02:55.880 --> 02:02:58.380
If you'd like to learn more, just listen to those episodes.
2139
02:02:58.500 --> 02:03:03.550
You'll find all that at alternatecurrentradio.com. Thanks again for having me, Hesher.
2140
02:03:03.619 --> 02:03:06.050
Thanks for all you fine people out there in the
2141
02:03:06.090 --> 02:03:08.250
chat rooms. Make sure on your way out, you smash
2142
02:03:08.270 --> 02:03:12.270
that like button and share, share, share, or whatever. Anyways,
2143
02:03:12.329 --> 02:03:14.789
read everything, listen to everybody. Don't believe anything unless you
2144
02:03:14.810 --> 02:03:17.770
can prove it for yourself using your own research. Rock
2145
02:03:17.789 --> 02:03:18.109
us out.
2146
02:03:19.010 --> 02:03:21.899
Alright, thanks Ruckus. Appreciate everything you do here in the
2147
02:03:21.939 --> 02:03:25.680
Boiler Room and at Alternate Current Radio. So as we
2148
02:03:25.699 --> 02:03:29.539
close out the show, we're still $ 40 trillion in debt. Actually,
2149
02:03:29.579 --> 02:03:31.600
if I had the debt counter up, we'd probably be
2150
02:03:31.659 --> 02:03:35.819
able to watch it creeping its way up to $ 41 trillion.
2151
02:03:36.560 --> 02:03:41.369
We got wars threatening to expand. We got institutions losing credibility.
2152
02:03:41.909 --> 02:03:46.909
We're proud to help make that happen here. Political spectacle everywhere.
2153
02:03:47.569 --> 02:03:53.449
And yet the machinery for surveillance, automation, identification, prediction, and
2154
02:03:53.550 --> 02:03:59.210
control becomes more sophisticated by the year, by the month,
2155
02:03:59.369 --> 02:04:03.689
by the day. Maybe the defining question isn't simply whether
2156
02:04:03.710 --> 02:04:07.670
the American empire is declining. The more important question may be,
2157
02:04:08.130 --> 02:04:16.430
what survives the decline? Governments change, political coalitions fracture. Institutions
2158
02:04:16.529 --> 02:04:21.890
lose their legitimacy. Financial systems, they can be rewritten. But
2159
02:04:22.090 --> 02:04:26.210
infrastructure has a way of remaining after the people and
2160
02:04:26.409 --> 02:04:31.250
arguments that created it are gone. So while everybody's staring
2161
02:04:31.310 --> 02:04:33.979
at the fire outside the windows, keep an eye on
2162
02:04:34.039 --> 02:04:39.380
what's being built inside the room. This is Hesher on
2163
02:04:39.399 --> 02:04:42.779
behalf of Alternate Current Radio wishing you a great rest
2164
02:04:42.819 --> 02:04:45.359
of the week. Join us for hopefully another episode of
2165
02:04:45.380 --> 02:04:47.859
Boiler Room on either Thursday or Friday. We'll let you know.
2166
02:04:47.979 --> 02:04:51.279
Follow us on the socials. Join our Discord if you like.
2167
02:04:51.800 --> 02:04:54.770
That's a great way to keep up with our pop-up
2168
02:04:54.850 --> 02:04:58.489
shows like this one. And we'll see you guys again
2169
02:04:58.689 --> 02:05:05.729
real soon here in the Boiler Room. That's it. Go
2170
02:05:05.750 --> 02:05:09.520
ahead and run! Run home and cry to mama.
