fighter jets shot down by Iran. President Donald Trump was briefed as a search and rescue operation
continued. Nicarpa reports from Washington.
Videos show a U.S. transport plane and Black Hawk helicopter in the skies over Iran, apparently
involved in the rescue mission. Officials say one of the crew has now been rescued
and is receiving hospital treatment. The whereabouts of the second crew member
are still unknown. The downed jet was reportedly a two-seater F-15E fighter jet with a two-man
crew. It comes after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. had air superiority
above Iran and could operate virtually unchallenged over the country.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Iranian military this week warned of incoming crushing,
broader and destructive attacks after the U.S. president said the war would continue
for another two to three weeks. In a speech to the nation, Donald Trump said the U.S. is
on track to soon complete all of its military objectives against Iran. Ross Callen reports.
The response from Tehran after the primetime speech from the U.S. leader was a warning
that the U.S. and Israel quote, must pay for the aggression you initiated. A military
spokesperson said Iran's military production takes place in places that you don't know
at all, rejecting claims made by the United States leader that Iran's weapons stockpile
had been widely depleted. There's no sign of a ceasefire in sight at the moment with Iran's
foreign ministry rejecting Donald Trump's claim that the country had asked for a halt to the
fighting as baseless.
Meanwhile, U.S. Supreme Court justices cast doubt on President Trump's attempts to restrict
birthright citizenship, one of his most ambitious policy endeavors. The president
took the unprecedented step of attending the High Court for oral arguments as conservative
and liberal justices questioned the legality of his attempt to block the children of illegal
immigrants born on U.S. soil from automatically becoming citizens. Kate Fisher reports from
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Quite the welcome for President Donald Trump as he became the first sitting president
to hear oral arguments at the Supreme Court over whether his executive order limiting
birthright citizenship is legal. One of his arguments is that if unrestricted it
leads to so-called birth tourism where pregnant women travel to the U.S. to give birth so that
their baby can have American citizenship. But the Chief Justice John Roberts seems skeptical.
The justices also had vigorous questions for ACLU lawyer Cecilia Wang, but she found
notably less resistance in her defense of birthright citizenship. The decision is
expected by the end of June or early July.
Canadian astronaut Jeremy Henson sees he and his team are feeling pretty good as the Orion
spacecraft takes them to the far side of the moon. The four astronauts are now hundreds
of thousands of miles from Earth as part of NASA's Artemis II mission. Stuart Smith
has more.
The trip will take the astronauts further from Earth than anyone has been before
in a mission to observe but not land on the far side of the moon, which is never
visible from Earth. After slingshotting around the Earth a few times to build
up momentum and the right trajectory, the crew are now directly on their way to the
moon and are the first people to leave the Earth's orbit since the 1970s.
There's still a few days from reaching the moon, though, and in the meantime they'll
check their equipment, control systems, and plan for the observations they'll be
doing when they get close. In their first public video call since launching,
Commander Reed Wiseman gave an update on their situation.
And finally this week Pakistan and Afghanistan resume talks in China with
Beijing mediating to calm tensions between the two sides. This comes as
Middle East turmoil fuels wider regional instability. Analysts warn that easing
pressure along the Afghan border is essential as Pakistan's military faces
the risk of being stretched across both its Western and Iranian frontiers.
Hiram Ustafa reports from Islamabad.
Pakistani officials say the talks aim to find common ground to tackle
terrorists allegedly operating from Afghanistan and charge Kabul to nice.
Beijing is mediating to try to broker a ceasefire. Clashes between the two
neighbors since February have been the most intense in decades,
leaving dozens injured on both sides of the border. Pakistan and Afghanistan
representatives are meeting in China's northern city of Arumchi.
Experts stress that stability in Pakistan's western border region is crucial,
especially amid uncertainty in Iran.
With Islamabad sharing a 900 kilometers border with Iran,
any instability there could put additional strain on Pakistan's military.

Phone lines are open, so give us a call. In the studio tonight, it's Stu.
And the radio bill.
So, I don't watch the news. I don't know what's going on.
I don't watch the news much either. I do pay attention to news stories, though.
Three hours ago, second US fighter jet down by Strait of Hormuz as search for F-15E crew
member in something, something. You know, the US government can definitely use that
as a way to bolster their war with Iran, couldn't they? They could say, oh.
Not in my opinion. That's a clear identifier that maybe you should just give up now.
I agree with you, Stu, but-
A whole lot more.
They're not going to think that way. They don't think this way.
Well, Trump certainly not.
No, I'm sure Trump doesn't think this way. And I don't think a lot of people,
well, maybe a lot of people in the administration are going to think like us.
But we have these, excuse me, we have these people who think they own the right
to go shoot anybody anywhere else in the world for America's interest.
Yeah. It'll be interesting to see how Trump deals with this, because he's not the kind
of guy that wants to back down, right? He's part of the deal, guys. So he goes in there
with way more than he expects to get.
Yep, he makes a big deal and wants people to-
But in this case, Iran's just kind of like, no, we're not doing any of that.
So keep it up, because we'll do this as long as you want.
Trump's just like, okay. So it kind of sounds like he's making stuff up, but I don't know.
Well, he is a show man. So be aware of that. And he's just putting on a show for the people
who believe him or the people that don't. So I don't know. It's just this.
Yeah, it's just kind of doing it on the fly.
Yeah, it sure seems that way. And it's really, really frustrating that it is that way.
Yeah, well, I guess we'll talk about this. I don't want to talk about this.
There's got to be something better than talking about Trump.
Oh, come on, dude. Don't you want to be like everyone else to talk about Trump?
I don't want to hurt about. Bitcoin apparently is compromised by the Google entity.
Did you hear about that one?
No, I didn't. Tell me more.
From what I hear, Google now claims to have quantum computing sufficient to hack Bitcoin
and do whatever they want with it.
So that would cause a serious problem.
It definitely would. I mean, Bitcoin is not a private thing like a lot of people think.
But that being said, you know, if Google or some entity could hack the Bitcoin network
and be like, hey, I might take some Bitcoin from the stewardess by hacking his wallet,
they definitely could. That'd be really bad.
Yeah. And we did a story a little while ago about the Monero chain being
under threat of 51% attack by another protocol called Qubits.
I remember that story. Yeah.
That didn't seem to go anywhere. So maybe they were bluffing. Maybe Google's bluffing.
Maybe.
And if they're not bluffing, would it really be in their interest to tell people that they could
hack Bitcoin instead of just kind of keeping that card up their sleeve?
I think it would be in their best interest to keep it up their sleeve so they do a surprise attack.
However, we all know that if Google has the ability to do whatever they want to Bitcoin,
that by extension also means U.S. government has the ability.
That's entirely possible. I think that's the big concern that I have as someone who
may or may not hold Bitcoin, but I know friends who do and I'm more concerned about their wallets
and them getting hacked by some like like an entity like Google and their money stolen
from them because we know that can happen. We know that people can steal your debit card or
credit card and buy things that you notice. And we know that if Google or someone like them hacks
your networks or hacks the ledger and steals money from your account, that is one of the things that
would lead me to believe that they're harmful organization.
Well, let's read about this and see what's actually going on with it.
All right. This is from, this is from CoinDesk by Sharia Malwa.
Here's what cracking Bitcoin in nine minutes by quantum computers actually means.
Google's quantum AI team said earlier this week that a future quantum computer could derive
a Bitcoin private key from a public key in roughly nine minutes. The number ricocheted across social
media and spooked markets, but what does it actually mean in practice? Let's start with how Bitcoin
transactions work. When you send Bitcoin, your wallet signs the transaction with the private
key, a secret number that proves you own the coins. That signature also reveals your public
key, a shareable address which gets broadcast to the network and sits in a waiting area called
the men pool until the miner includes it in a block. On average, that confirmation takes about
10 minutes. Your private key and public key are linked by a math problem called the elliptic curve
discrete logarithmic problem. Classical computers can't reverse that math in any useful time frame
while a sufficiently powerful future quantum computer running an algorithm called Shores could.
Shores is spelled S H O R. Okay. Here's where the nine minutes parts comes in. Google's paper found
that a quantum computer could be primed in advance by pre-computing the parts of the attack that
don't depend on any specific public key. Once your public key appears in the men pool,
the machine only needs about nine minutes to finish the job and derive your private key.
Bitcoin's average confirmation time is 10 minutes. That gives the attacker roughly 41% chance of
deriving your key and redirecting your funds before the original transaction confirms.
So I've got a question and maybe some of the listeners out there might have the same question.
What is the difference between my private key from my Bitcoin wallet and the public key?
Is the public key the Bitcoin address that I send my funds that send the funds to?
Your public key is a very complicated mathematical product of what the private key is.
So you do something with real complicated math to the private key
and that's how you get the public key and that's how that's how it knows it's linked.
Okay. That's my rudimentary understanding of it.
All right. Let's see. Think of it like a thief spending hours building a universal safe
cracking machine pre-computation. The machine works for any safe but each time a new safe
appears it only needs a few final adjustments and that last step is what takes about nine minutes.
That's the mempool attack. It's alarming but requires a quantum computer that doesn't exist yet.
Google's paper estimates such a machine would need fewer than 500,000 physical qubits.
Today's largest quantum processors have around 1,000.
The bigger and more immediate concern is the 6.9 million Bitcoin,
roughly one-third of the total supply, that already sit in wallets where the public
key has been permanently exposed. This includes early Bitcoin addresses from the network's first
years that used a format called pay to public key where the public key is visible on the
blockchain by default. It also includes any wallet that has reused an address since spending
from an address since spending from an address reveals the public key for all remaining funds.
Well that makes sense so if you've put an address out there in a transaction previously
then the quantum computer could figure out the private key from it and it just needs
to wait for that address. That's a little concerning honestly because
I'm sure there are some people out there that send to the same address or receive to
the same address for whatever reason and so if it's been used repeatedly for you to get
funds for your project or if you're a creator and you are getting paid through Bitcoin and you
have your public address out there that address could be used to essentially hack your wallet?
Is that what they're trying to tell us? Yes if you reuse the same address it makes it more
vulnerable to well we already knew that it made it more vulnerable to being spied on
so I made it less private if you reuse the same address so a lot of us are already in the
practice of generating a new address for each transaction it's just it's just best practice
so there's that but you know a lot of people don't they haven't listened to that they just you
know they just see how it works and maybe they use the same address forever. I definitely need to
be better at using different addresses because I got I got in the habit of using similar addresses
or same address or whatever for a period of time and you know for my podcast I have
crypto addresses that are virtually the same so and there are ways to there are ways to make it
secure again like you can use one address like I know I know Ian had had a Bitcoin address that
started with one FTL Ian and because you could get vanity addresses at some point I don't know
if you still can but yeah he had that one he used it you know repeatedly which is fine
what you would want to do with an address like that and I have no idea what his practices were but
what you would normally want to do is take that Bitcoin and send it to a different wallet
or send it through a mixer even better to a different wallet so that makes sense like
using a mixer sounds like a good idea to hide your transactions and you know
thwart people looking at your addresses right you and you generally have like
you know cold storage wallets and so the so that if one goes down or you lose it or something
it's not all of it yes you know split up and anyways
go on with the story these coins don't need the nine minute race an attacker with a sufficient
powerful quantum computer could crack them at leisure working through exposed keys one by one
without any time pressure bitcoins 2021 taproot upgrade made this worse as coin desk reported
earlier Tuesday taproot changed how addresses work so that public keys are visible on chain
by default inadvertently expanding the pool of wallets that would be vulnerable to a future
quantum attack good job good job core developers yep yep making everything worse yeah I mean
you halfway ruined it when you did segway in 2017 you just keep making a worse and worse pretty
sooner to be what is there any call it uh fed fed gov dot sucks coin it wouldn't surprise me if it
got to that point because we know for a fact we believe here on at least I believe that
the Bitcoin network has been hijacked by blockstream people this is why we have Bitcoin cash
the crypto wars have not ended and now with the quantum computing I just had the thought that maybe
if the government through a private entity decided oh we're gonna we're gonna just use
this computer and take people's Bitcoin for the good of the country so we can put it in our
reserve they could easily do so and that would not be good for the people holding Bitcoin
yeah um what I mean it would make the entire Bitcoin network useless if you had a spook in
the system just going around robbing people's wallets word would get around fast so it says here the
Bitcoin network itself would keep running mining uses a different algorithm called Shaw 256
that quantum computers can't meaningfully speed up with current approaches blocks would still
be produced the ledger would still exist but if private keys can be derived from public keys
the ownership guarantees that that mate the ownership guarantees that make Bitcoin valuable
breakdown anyone with exposed keys is at risk of theft and institutional trust in the network
security model collapses the fix is post quantum cryptography which replaces the
vulnerable math with algorithms that quantum computers can't crack ethereum has spent eight
years building toward that migration bitcoin hasn't even started that's the end of that article
um you know this this is a struggle that I saw as being an ongoing thing
yeah and it's it's a serious problem because because if you get what are the
one of the largest uh most capable entities in the world right now it might be governments
it might be banks either one of those you don't really want mess with your money right and so
all they have to do is amass the most computing power and they're in control of the money system
and that's a problem see what I'm saying I do see what you're saying I I understand where
you're coming from because when the banks are on the money they can do whatever they want with
it they can turn off your bank account they can say sue is not thinking the same things we are
sue is saying bad things we gotta cut them off he's an apostate yeah look at what they've been
doing to you in the the last 115 years or so the bankers and uh imagine what they could do
with the digital currency telling you oh you've reached your you've reached your beef limit
for this month so sorry you already ate a pounder and a half and that's all you get for the whole month
or you fit your coffee limit for the month mm-hmm you're gonna make sure you don't drink too much
coffee after all we're the government we're here for your help yeah yeah it's none of their business
right I don't know I don't know how many of you like I know a lot of you want to be told
what to do or whatever because you're lazy in your brain eat some brazil nuts it'll help
with that eat too many in fact go on the internet read about it it'll tell you you get selenosis if
you eat too many brazil nuts selenosis is the condition which will cure most likely your slow brain
because it's full of aluminum and fluoride and selenium is the thing that flushes it out
but they'll tell you it's very dangerous but don't I mean go ahead and read on and find out
how much selenium you actually have to have in order to like die from it or have permanent damage
and uh you're not going to eat that many brazil nuts so go ahead and chow down on them clean your
brain out it'll work a lot better I had how many brazil nuts I drank a lot of fluoride in my youth
I think how many brazil nuts should I have to make that happen every day I don't know
start with 10 see how that works if you can eat more good 20 eat 20 eat 30 a day I don't know
have you tried eating 20 to 30 a day I think I did like at the most it um you're um you're
you'll know when you go to the bathroom if you're eating too many of them
we'll put it that way all right just listen to your body on that but yeah makes sense yeah eat
them for a while and just let it do its thing also iodine will help uh so those are those are my
tips for getting your brain working again but uh for those of you that like to be told what to do
just imagine a world in which you're told down to the very minute detail like how much gas you
get to use this month how much beef you get to eat how much grains uh you know like this is
this sounds like a nightmare to me they they already micromanage
too much of my life um and I don't know other people seem like they're somewhere around the
threshold of being like that he has micromanage too much but people's capacity to be just told
what to do is mind blowing to me but but I I don't know I suppose I'm one of those with that
what do they call it well you would be an outlier and I think in some sense I would be too because
I don't like being told what to do and so my question is like why do you think people
feel like they want to be told what to do or they go toward a quote-unquote leader in whatever
situation may arise like for instance there's a fire and you hear someone say follow me I'll
lead you out and look follow that person why do you think people gravitate to those kinds of
people um it's some combination of lazy scared stupid and so a lot of people want to attribute
it to stupid when you're on the other side you can see um you know what it is then people want
to call it stupid and I have that tendency too but it's not always necessarily stupid because
if you look closely at the people who are you know the most the most voracious follow orders
they're really smart and they've figured out where the incentives are and they do it really well
to me that's uh that's soul crushing and I could never take that route but some people are really
good at it you know just um you would you would call them the teacher's pet in class or something
yeah so uh and they're you know a lot of them are incredibly intelligent but they use all
that incentive and hit the next you know check checkpoint on the list in order to get themselves
in the good graces of whoever's telling them what to do and a lot of times for those people it's
because they're scared of um you know they've been told there's a boogeyman out there right there's
we're here to protect you for your parents going through the mail or there's um you know
there's a crazy christian cult that's having sex with children in waco texas or there's
you know there's always something to be scared of and and people want someone to take that thing
the boogeyman away and so yeah it makes sense that they wanted later to do that
and uh whereas like most of these things are made up and if if you just sat down and thought
about it real closely like what what is iran gonna do to me right here in new hampshire
probably not a whole lot i mean maybe maybe if maybe if the goons up top keep acting the way
they do then maybe they will but to me it seems like um even i don't know honestly i've i've seen
a little bit of what it's like in iran and it's not the worst kind of middle eastern hellscape
that you could imagine that's more like um saudi arabia which is good yeah good friends with the
us yep and um you know people live in a place like that i'm of the opinion fine go ahead and let them
because they're not gonna come here and affect me with it and i'll even trade with them i just
don't want to go there you know what i mean uh same thing with like uh the f lds in southern
utah i'm all in favor of just letting them do their thing me too i mean because because what's
the alternative well we could go in there and bust up their families and make sure they
you know aren't marrying off 14 year old girls yep and they've they've done that from time to time
and what is it what is it solved i don't think it's solved anything honestly i think it's
broken up the group quite a bit but yeah they moved some of them out to texas and some of them
are still you also have more hearted followers they increase they actually increased quite a bit
the the actual human heartache that went on within that community oh yeah uh the story that
that unfolds after the arrest of warren jeffs is that's tragedy even though the man was a monster
it was almost better off if they if they just let it go and let the community deal with it
themselves because this guy wasn't going to go on the way he was for now i'm sure he wasn't
i'm sure when everything came out he was going to strip clubs he was yeah spending all kinds of
money on that he was a sinner and he was going to get exposed and and taken down by his own
community yeah and when and when the government found out they're like well we gotta stop this guy
we're right they're right here right now and so that led to raids that led to you know the flds
being hardened being more willing to follow warren jeffs i should say yeah yeah from prison too and
now he just gives orders from prison and he tells he's just breaking up families from there
and you know lots and lots of tears from it so good job good job on that one uh and that's
why they handle these things i don't know are you in favor of strong arm intervention into the lives

holy week an important religious occasion in a country that's largely catholic according to the
new york times the prisoner release includes young people those over 60 foreign nationals
and cubans who live overseas it's unclear if cuba's decision is to appease washington

and benefits of becoming an amplifier in the studio tonight it's stew and ralio bill we got
a caller on the line excellent from las vegas nevada i suspect that it might be one of our
usual callers but let's find out las vegas nevada you're on free talk live what's on your mind
you know yeah you know a leadership can be a good thing because value is objective
and you know what in when did i say leadership is not a good thing let's stick with that one
let's go with that one you're talking about brazilian nuts
yeah you're talking about brazilian nuts yeah what about it but that wasn't the context
of people thinking for themselves or did you not hear that part compulsory even compulsory
leadership right there's there's things called you know objective value acknowledges fine compulsory
too i'm okay with that even aggressive leadership even fine sometimes yes but it has to be legitimate
or not the difference where from when does it derive its legitimacy that's that's the issue
at hand from objective value from nothing then because that's not existed so people should make
decisions so the allocation of decision making a mark is determined who has money right right makes
might right makes might or might makes right makes might not necessarily all the time charitable
things happen right makes might right makes might right so right this is making this making
good decisions where it increases total productivity for society right that's where objective value
comes from right if i make a decision even for somebody else as long as it maximizes total
productivity it's a good thing no this is why no because aggression because what you value
as being productive might not be the same thing that i value
you know what objective means stew you might want toilet paper made and i might use a bidet
you see what i'm saying do you know what objective means stew yes i know what it means
are you universal not exactly but almost about people's opinions why are you talking about
people's opinions right it's whoever's opinion because there's no objective value
tell me one thing that has objective value one thing tell me like okay just things like
what gdp is trying to measure trying to measure right no that's so easily debunked like why don't
you go for why don't you go for the low hanging fruit like air isn't that no because some people
can slow their heart rate to like eight beats per minute and they don't value the air the same
way that you do straight to the point things like profit imperfectly but are trying to measure
objective value right anytime we do a decision a decision right we're rewarded with either
profit or loss from the market right you agree with that right and it's kind of evolutionary
right and evolution to gain through they call it fit and evolution evolutionary fitness
in the market we call it profit and loss these are all things that are trying to measure objective
value but they cannot do it perfectly you know why because the conceptual the measurement
huh no yes because they're conceptual you're trying to quantify something that's not
necessarily quantifiable it is quantifiable no see and that's the problem that's the problem
with modern scientific and and mathematical thought is that it thinks everything can be
quantified but it cannot it can be caught even your thoughts can be qualified no don't you don't
you think one day we'll be able to put your thoughts on a tv screen on a digital screen i hope
not not horrifying they're already they're already starting to do that yeah i know it's coming
quantify your thoughts your feelings these are all this is this is this is the false narrative
put forth by the austrian school right they just because they're scared of people
planning for others this is why they want value to be subjective they don't want people
making decisions for other people but it was not it's because not it's because the same thing
doesn't bring us all joy that's why do you think do you think you need to aggressively
make decisions for your kids stew um occasionally it gets to the point of aggressive yeah
why is that because that's the natural order of things
because their opinions are wrong they deviate from total pro you have a sense
that productivity is ultimately good right what if their kids were a piece of crap like richy rich
right what if they didn't what if you knew what if you knew they didn't work all day right
they would never they would never work like that's fine you know when i'm playing on my deathbed
and i'm looking back at life and i'm like and i'm like oh all the things i wish i would have
done more of work is not going to be on that list i can guarantee it and i work plenty but i'm it's
not i'm not going to wish i had worked more there's no way so work is not a value in and
of itself don't give me that calvin of stick crap you probably you probably still spend most
of your day working right and the rest of it recovering for work or raising your kids so that
they can work in the future it's all this product it's all this production cycle that's your only
yeah but it's toward what i value not what the market values see the market values you don't even
the market values you don't even orios and twinkies and um and junk food and disposable
appliances right and uh cheap throw away everything that and that's not where i place my value with
that you don't want things to last forever for some things yeah i want them i want them disposable
forever now some things i want disposable my car i don't want disposable i want that to last forever
yeah yeah you do you you want you want to dispose of it as soon as it becomes obsolete
with the new technology no i don't right no i don't like the new technology i barely
trust cruise control i don't want anything on store or newer would you drive the model t forever
no because that's not because that was not the people shouldn't make their own decisions
this is this is why i can't draw the line somewhere do you know what's the happiest
population in america skeeter what's that do you know what's the happy happiest
subset of the population in america the happiest group
date of americans no it's the amish
the amish yeah yep they report a far a far higher uh happiness quotient in their life
than the rest of america so how do you explain that uh where does okay where does the net
migration go to the amish communities um how do people vote how will do people
demonstrate that they're you know what they feel i mean is there net migration out of amish
communities or into amish communities i'm just i don't know i don't know that much about the amish
i know they have a chance to leave uh they're you know they're encouraged to even go explore
the world this is a problem right and a lot of them decide that amish life is better
is because it's just objective value acknowledges things as people can be incompetent even
about their own even about their own interests right means are not subjective right the means
toward any goal or not subjective who gets to decide who's wrong about what they want
who gets to decide it who gets to decide what you're wrong about wanting the people who have
shown in the past that they can make correct decisions and that's how you evaluate the
decisions the ross child's get her to decide what your wrong thing is what actually the
enough when you have a perfect money which privacy inhibits you'll know there's no such thing
as a perfect no there's never been perfect money doesn't even exist in nature what's that money
doesn't even exist in nature it's a completely human created invention nature no it's conceptual
man money money emerges it comes from repute it's just reputation oh yeah because i see monkeys
using it all the time oh wait no that doesn't happen we're the only species
reputation it's money was supposed to be meant as reputation but as society grows it gets more
complex and uh you know before technology communication is is tough uh to just it's
hard to distribute information in a big population that also you have to go with an unnatural
this is where you get that you call money right reputation only extends as far as people
that you know and that's why you had to come up with money and that is an art official concept
that humans came up with in order to represent the thing that does exist within nature and you're
trying to conflate the two i'm not what would you say i said i said that i don't have a point of
our route you gotta stop talking if you you want me to explain the thing to you skeeter
what are you getting my cheese what is it like being inside of your brain
so look money money was always meant to be reputation how much you produce produce for
i don't think money was even meant to be how much more resources to give you in the future
it's a cycle right and a society no this all comes from a scarcity mindset skeeter you're so full
of crap dude i can't take any more of this call thanks for the call tonight wow man i
i admire your patience like he does not seem to want to shut up and let you have a conversation
with him and yeah and you know i'd let him go on for a long time if he had smart things to say
but he's just so full and nonsense i know like every single point he wants to make is built
on a logical fallacy and he won't admit it and he just he just bullies his way through it like
keeps talking and never shows up last week he might be an intelligent man but he is also very socially
inept unfortunately i don't know i kind of think he's doing it on purpose but it's fine it gives
me an example for as much as i can get words in edge wise he to show uh how like where his
thinking is so distorted but i don't know maybe we'll get to an agreement on something one
of these days maybe we can now let's go to a different phone call we got turd fergus in
in pennsylvania you're on free talk live what's on your mind well look um nobody nobody is more
annoyed by skeeter than me but look to be clear and look i like austrian economics i am still
intellectually intrigued by them but rafard and mises is subjective subjective value theory
is bull crap i find it to be kind of one of the big glaring holes in austrian economics and it's
provable with just the fact that bubbles in and i it's always shocking to me that it's the austrians
that believe it because it's disproven by the fact that bubbles burst hold on you're gonna explain
you're gonna explain to me how uh how a value can be objective i'm not i'm not talking about
objective value i just know that subjective value is bull crap and i can definitely disprove subjective
value well isn't there only objective or subjective i don't know that's a i don't i don't deal in
philosophical things like that i deal in in facts and and here's here's how i know that
subjective value is bull crap because there was a time in this country in the mid two
thousands where people thought subjectively that houses were worth way more than they
actually were and housing bubble popped and then they went back down to not zero
but they did go come back down to earth but they didn't go to zero they went to the natural the
real natural sort of value of of of what the houses were were actually valued at that time
which proves that there is something called intrinsic value and you can live in a house
you can do something with it that gives an intrinsic value there is an intrinsic value
but that's different than being objective maybe i i i don't know there are some people that would say
that objective and intrinsic value are the same things i don't know if i'm one of those people
but i have heard that argument before and um and i don't know maybe this maybe so intrinsic
value just means that it can it can be used by anyone for the same you know to
to get the same result right i well the value part has to do with you could like how much
how much do you value that result one person might value it differently than the other and
that's what makes it subjective well i suppose so but the thing is that regardless of who you are
i can walk up to a house in a suburban neighborhood to think of shape and say okay i could live in
that and you could live in that and any individual in the world could live in it and that gives
an inherent intrinsic value right right so so oh the the point i'm trying to make is i mean
one person you couldn't pay to live in that house and another person will be very happy to have a house
well well yeah i think you could too i yeah but i'm not yeah economics aside or i'm sorry
financials aside i'm just saying that regardless of who you are someone in the world anybody
that you randomly choose you just you know line eight billion people up and you pick one randomly
and they could live in the house if they really had to okay yeah that's what that's what intrinsic
value is yes right yeah so so my point is is that look objective value aside because it sounds like
it sounds like there's some disagreement on what objective value it is but
intrinsic value exists and subjective value is bull crap based on all the all the bubbles
that have popped in history okay yeah okay so i i don't know maybe this will help you um
subjective value would be like everybody wanting everybody placing the same level of value on
that home so everybody goes to auction and everybody bids the exact same number on it
whereas that's not the reality because somebody would rather live in their camper than a house
oh yes well sure sure and and i'm not and again financials aside i mean yeah there's one house
might have slightly more financial value to someone than it does another i'm i'm not debating that
well i'm saying somebody feels more free in their camper than they would in a mansion
like the nicest house you could possibly imagine somebody would still rather live in their camper
right and someone might feel more free to mention than they do in a camper and vice versa
okay that's not the argument i'm making is that is that intrinsic value though is real
and some people and i don't know if skeeter's one of them would would maybe say that objective value
is the same i don't know if i'm one of those people but i'm just saying that intrinsic value
is a thing yeah and it is and i think i think skeeter would claim that money is has intrinsic
value whereas i would claim that it doesn't only the things that you trade the money for
have intrinsic yeah well i i can i can prove that even then always not yeah i can well at
i can prove with another thought experiment that money does not have intrinsic value and you can
look at you can look at examples like zimbabwe or venezuela you know what i mean or united states
yeah or or many other you know examples of history where you know currency's been devalued
into oblivion and then it really doesn't actually have any intrinsic value because
some people just don't need it as a matter of fact there are many people there are many people
that really won't wouldn't even accept it you know what i mean i'm sure we could also say to you that
when the white people came over here in the early whenever they did the fourteen hundreds fifteen
hundred hundreds if they were to hand a native a gold coin they wouldn't know what to do with
it wouldn't value it same so i don't know if i'm i don't know about that i mean i i'm
willing to bet you know this is true there's a history books recorded where there were european
settlers that showed up in parts of africa and the gold was so plentiful you just pick it up off
the ground and there were natives living there they had no use for it they didn't know what to do with
gold well i mean look i'm i'm not saying that people's intelligence levels are all the same
either yeah but what are they going to do with the gold you can't eat it
sure well you can do a lot of other things with that's for sure you can trade to europeans
or the chinese that's what you could do with it and they didn't know that they had no they
had no reason to even to even think about that i guess i guess the second the seller showed up
they they could do something with it now couldn't they but uh but look i am willing i willing to
i'm willing to bet you that if i were to take some gold and fly if i could do another planet
somewhere in some foreign solar system uh that i i'm willing to bet you that i could
buy something with if i wanted to right now it'd be funny if you land around that planet
it was just made of gold well well i i don't know uh i don't know if chemically
um that's that's possible to sustain life i mean i guess you want to get into a beta debate
about biology and evolution we can but i don't know if chemically that's sustainable but
i'm willing to bet though if i were to to go hop in a spaceship and fly to some other planet
with some gold i could buy something with it i'm willing to bet you but i've heard that's
all i had i i just want to throw that out there yeah and um and and just and just and just tell you
guys that look i don't know about objective value but i do know that the subjective theory of value
that i see that i've read about a lot of austrian economics books i find it to be
kind of just a much of a load of garbage you know i mean yeah yeah thanks for the call uh i
i can i can get on board with that um the austrians don't get everything right they
they do drive it some very fundamental points though i think about human about the individual
human's choice right and in my opinion of the closest we've got to being as correct as we can be
i mean there's no such thing as a perfect system so and uh yeah yep so that was a good call thanks
turd yeah um all right what should we get into next
there's lots of war to talk about there definitely is like trump has given iran another ultimatum
to open up the streets of hormuz and yeah except that it's open you know yeah just not to america
or israel because you guys are being jerks so stop i'm sure it's open to china yeah
yeah it's open there's there's oil flowing through there's just not just not for us thanks trump
you're welcome trump would say you're welcome i'm glad i'm making the greatest country on earth
we're gonna be the wealthiest country on earth the golden age has arrived you know
and so now they're like you know screaming about how
oh because because now fertilizer is um a petroleum product that you're not gonna have
enough fertilizer to grow food and feed people this is man this is why i don't watch news
because it's just such nonsense um i don't know if you know but dandy lines those things you
go out there and spray with roundups or the dye or whatever like those things are food yeah you can
eat those dandy land tea you can eat the leaves uh and um you know like food is not
scarce it doesn't need to be scarce and it's not necessarily scarce uh they're trying real hard
with their monsanto tactics and all that to make food scarce and uh and they might actually have
some real food shortages now that you've gone on the truckitarian diet and put all your faith in
you know the east india empire trading so i don't know that's what you're gonna get but uh
let's see we got a caller here david li is called david li you're on free talk live what's on your
mind hello i wanted to continue this sort of series i've been doing and what was going on 20
what was it going on in the free state movement 20 years ago this month cool
uh and i say this month that's probably an exaggeration i can remember what happened in 2006
oftentimes i forget exactly which month it was so really it's it's it's this year 20 years ago
so uh there were a couple of important developments in the free state uh movement
one of them was that uh our first state rep was elected that was joel winters i think
from manchester at the time and he was elected as a democrat so libertarian running as a democrat
becoming a member of a legislature this was not super common back in those days anywhere
and so it made the news and we were glad to have him you know having that success
and i believed also the first piece of free state or sponsored legislation passed back
the uh into law i think this was 2006 and it was don lincoln an early early free state project
mover you know moved to new york for more freedom um and she got uh i guess we would call it the home
i think it was called the homeschool paperwork reduction act so it just it just made made it
easier to be a homeschooler okay so these seem like pretty small accomplishments today compared
to what happens almost every month uh in new york sure but at the time they were a big deal
yeah i had to start somewhere right yeah that's correct and there was a continuation of this
sort of layer one of the previous callers i called i was telling you free free state
is sort of discovered civil disobedience in 2005 and and it resulted in sort of an explosion
of civil disobedience that continued on into about 2011 and in 2006 i sort of got my first dose
of it uh kind of by accident because i i walked into an irs office and held a sign and handed out
leaflets so these were actually i wasn't the first one to do this wrestle canning had done it
earlier in 2006 he went into an irs office handed out leaflets tried to get in there
he tried he tried to go in he wanted to overturn some of the pages inside their building and you
know oh wow that's funny you know try to do what you just did at the market you know nice hey if you
got more to this story we can uh we can hold you over coming up against it give us a call

that the country had asked for a halt to the fighting as baseless meanwhile u.s supreme court
justices cast out on president trump's attempts to restrict birthright citizenship
one of his most ambitious policy endeavors the president took the unprecedented step of
attending the high court for oral arguments as conservative and liberal justices question the
legality of his attempt to block the children of illegal immigrants born on us soil from
automatically becoming citizens kate fischer reports from the us supreme court quite the
welcome for president donald trump as he became the first sitting president to hear oral
arguments at the supreme court over whether his executive order limiting birthright citizenship
is legal one of his arguments is that if unrestricted it leads to so-called birth tourism where
pregnant women travel to the us to give birth so that their baby can have american citizenship
but the chief justice john robert seems skeptical the justices also had vigorous questions for aclu
lawyer cecilia wang but she found notably less resistance in her defense of birthright citizenship

in new york i'm itch mccann and that was the week in review a new report by the department
of health and human services has found that the average male is 4 000 less effective in fights than
he imagines casting powerful doubts on many men's claims that they could take someone out in two
seconds or smash a guy's face in with their fist on average men describing hypothetical fights
overestimated their level of combat skill by a factor of 40 with 80 percent of males
incorrectly predicting they could mess a guy up real bad with one solid punch to the jaw
during actual physical altercations however these men were statistically more likely to end up hurting
themselves or most commonly trying to diffuse the tension by nervously saying hey man let's all just
calm down okay before any fighting even came to pass researchers discover that men were
significantly weaker than they verbally indicated while chatting with friends in bars and locker

in the studio tonight it's stew and ralio bill we were talking with
david li about 20 years ago in new hampshire
david go ahead and continue with your story please yeah and actually not just in new hampshire
where i where i pick up the story is in king new hampshire uh rustle canning lived in king where
you where you guys are broadcasting from at that time and he's a christian anarchist activist
double disobedience guy flat earth or two i like that right yeah he's a character about him but
okay yeah rustles a good guy sometimes people throw the baby out of the bath water i like i like
the flatter thing i don't think it's actually flat but i do like the thought experiment
well it's you know all ideas should be on the table what was it george orwell said
any any you know if any thought is forbidden then all thoughts are forbidden because they
could lead to the forbidden thought yep mm-hmm but um anyway so he goes into this irs office
and he's he's claiming he's going to try to overturn their table uh but that actually turned
out not to be that big a deal what what they but i think they arrested him and charged him with
with handing out flyers so uh you know i guess he never even made it to the table they had
homeland security there and everything and they seized them because he announced in advance
he was going to do it and he got thrown in jail for handing out flyers he was charged with
distribution of handbills if i recall that's how it played out
so this way i'm starting to let him get to the table yeah absolutely
this created a phenomenon i call follow-up civil disobedience so uh that again i have i think i've
done a pretty good job of not talking about myself a whole bunch during this series of
historical stories but in this case i'm kind of part of the story so i went and imitated
rustle by walking into an irs office unannounced and handing out leaflets uh i also held a sign
and i refused to speak to anyone i just handed out the leaflet well uh this is something i had
already done over at a you know at a bureaucrat office in concord at the tax you know it was the
state tax office like the state equivalent of the irs so i had already done it almost exactly
the same thing where i just stand it with a sign hand out flyers and leave when they tell
me to well at the at the new hampshire office the guy who was in charge of all new hampshire taxes
came out shook my hand answered the questions on the flyer and actually sort of became a friend of
mine nice but at the irs office called the police the local police they called homeland
security which arrived about an hour later uh they backed me out of the building the police
uh backed me out and uh but again i did leave and uh a couple a couple weeks later they
homeland security appeared at my home for having stood in that office and handed out flyers so they
they had a charge for me which was distribution of man bills what kind of charges distribution
of handheld does anybody know it's it's not a it's not a law it's a federal regulation
i don't remember the name of the regulation crs something i think
and they they hauled me in the court or they wanted me to pay 125 fine like a ticket you
know it was just considered a violation and i refused to pay it at first or at least i didn't
pay it that's and so they hauled me in the court to you know remit it i think it's actually
what i i think i think what happened was it wasn't so much that i refused to pay it at first
it was more than i just went through the legal process does that make sense to try and
get out of the charge mm-hmm so it's kind of like taking a traffic ticket to court but this is
a federal court when nothing ever happens no one ever goes there because everyone flees out right
yeah and so you know i i brought activists with me we probably usually had about 15 people
in the courtroom and i always would schedule a demonstration in advance uh and they found
a guilty of a distribution of handbills and they and they said okay you can pay your fine on the
way out so i just kind of left without paying the fine and so months later they contacted me
again and they said hey you need to show up in court again to explain why you haven't paid the
fine yet and at some point in there i just sent a note to the judge you know quoting rosa
parks uh and saying the i'll never pay it and and i said i'm not going to tell the public this
you know so for some reason you were never to prosecute me anymore on this no one even no one
would even know that i had not paid but if you want to you can prosecute me i guess so sure enough
you know over a period of about six months they kept calling me back into court why haven't you
paid yet and every time i'd schedule a demonstration or what i eventually they just said okay i said
you the judge just said okay i spent in two to four days incarceration and they just took me into
jail on the spot they're not paying that fine okay wow how was that stay uh so they sent me
to sx in massachusetts and it was interesting so the first thing that happened was they
stick me on the in the van that takes you to sx and what they do is they shackle you so my hands are
my hands are tied uh i can't really tighten i don't think they tied me to anything so i was
loose in the vehicle my hands were tied and i think my feet were tied together so if they had
had an accident i would have just let's imagine let's imagine they had a rollover i just you
know i would have tumbled helplessly until the final snap right so uh that was the first
part of the experience and then the next thing that i remember happening is i get to sx and i had
sort of done some planning and some studying uh there's an organization called uh they used to
call them so what do they call the embassy of heaven not in oregon and they were christian
anarchists who would um they would refuse to take a driver's license and so they were always going to
jail and they talked about how important it was to try and avoid giving the jail any information
because it just locks up their system so i thought well yeah i can do that you know i won't try to
do all the different types of resistance that you could do in jail but just try to mainly
mostly just do that one thing and it works pretty well it actually does kind of lock up
their system freaks them out uh what happened they had to put me in solitary and they just
not answering their questions is that what you're saying yeah i guess they wanted to know who i was
what my date of birth was and stuff like that whether i had tuberculosis whether i would consent to
a tuberculosis test and all that i just kept saying no to most of this stuff and um so yeah
they they took all my clothes seized my glasses so i was legally blind for a couple days and uh
they just stuck me in this room with all these suspicious brown watches on the wall oh man
and word started spreading around the jail that there was this guy who wasn't telling them
any information and they had taken his clothes and his glasses right so it had a pretty positive
effect and people it made the it made the other detainees pretty friendly toward me
okay and the other thing you can do i didn't completely do this but if you if you either
fast or give up some of your meals what i started to do was like whenever i would enter a like a room
with 20 other inmates or something like that i would just hold up whatever food i had and say
hey i'm not going to eat this anybody want it and they'd grab it up and everybody's my friend
so that was another trick i think i got that from the embassy at heaven
and uh you know there's a lot of stuff i'm forgetting probably that was really interesting
that happened but one thing i haven't forgotten is one of the guards who thought i was really
interesting and he's like what's going on with you how do you how come you're
how come you're not why don't you have any clothes you know what's going on and why are
you here and man i would have paid the fine what are you doing here and uh and i told him
you know that i had a little bit of a following you know there were a few hundred people maybe
that were following my situation pretty closely and there was it maybe 50 000 listeners on
free talk live and he's like oh okay you're crazy i know you're not now because obviously
there's not 50 000 people paying attention to you the next day he came back and he'd
looked at the internet he's like okay you're a crazy militia guy who everyone is following
and you're a cult leader yeah but it's not funny they gotta put you in a box somewhere
yeah and this is the guy who seized my glasses right you know but we established a good relationship
and his superior you know introduced me to the jail and i told him yeah i'm not gonna be
i'm not gonna this is what i'm gonna do and this is what i'm not gonna do i'm not gonna
answer these questions like well you're gonna get in trouble and i'm not and i'm not gonna
tolerate you giving my people any trouble and i said listen uh you know i i know that if you
torture me you will be able to eventually make me do what you want me to do so if you
have a policy of torturing people then i guess you will be able to do you know what's your plan
there you're gonna torture me into giving this information it's like whoa whoa whoa no we're
not trying to torture you it's not like that i said if you ordered to torture me would you
torture me he said well yeah yeah well they gotta follow orders after all yeah um so anyway
all these different things occurred uh there was one point where there was some piece of
information they wanted from me and i think i gave it to them and that that was an important
lesson uh you know one of the guards walked up to me and said hey i heard you back down right and that
it really took wind out of the sails of the process that i had been that i had been building right
so i learned never to do that again okay yeah that's an interesting experience
yeah initially they threw me back into the van you know four days later and off i go
back to uh conquered from massachusetts and then they released me to at conquered
and there was a little crowd waiting for me outside to greet me and give me a ride home
cool that's really cool i love it yeah all that for distribution of hand bills thanks for the
call tonight dave that was really cool i love ridley stories i love hearing about what happened
in new Hampshire's past with the activists because it gives me some courage that when i do
my activism i always have an idea of what to do yeah those old videos from back in the day
street activism and gain are they're quite inspiring they definitely are they definitely are all right
let's go to another call now from Tucson Arizona you're on free talk live what's on your mind
hi there can you hear me yep go for it go ahead sometimes this mic dies hey you guys
ever support sip anymore or is that just uh was that an Ian thing uh what is it
yeah oh the sip line is that we're talking about yeah i don't know if we've used that license
anyone to prison yeah i don't think that's currently in use i tried calling on that at
one point it just went right to uh i don't remember went to some kind of error message or
something but i i didn't get any message saying hey well hold on here we'll be right with you or
i didn't hear the show so i thought i'd ask anyway um yeah i i have to give a lot of props to
to uh david lee i mean that's quite a story there and uh there was a there was a lady who
remember her name now who did something very similar uh back in the day um you know basically
was arrested and said absolutely nothing i think they may have been lauren canario that's her yeah
lauren canario yeah yeah she gets a lot of props from me too because you know she had the guts to
to just you know say no i'm not going to cooperate and uh you guys got to figure it out on
your own so uh that's that's the that that's a lot of what new hampshire means to me is that
collecting people like that to uh to stand up and go okay well let's see how we can build
this better society one piece at a time so um but what one of the uh aspects of this i i know
there was a during the break there was an actual commercial um talking about you know don't use
the government's money um and i think that's probably a good thing to investigate as well
seeing as how is with technology keep getting better there's more and more options to
use different kinds of currency whether it's bitcoin or other cryptos or
gold or gold backs or you know a lot a lot of choices but the other aspect the other
aspect of it is is that uh so many people are ambusal into giving the government money you know
not just using their money but handing it over because they claim oh you owe it to us why because
we passed this law you know saying we uh you owe an income tax and uh that's another thing that
technology has uh has revealed that the income tax actually it is not levied upon the average person
because the the laws that refer to the all the stuff that people quote well it says right here in
section 61 the blah blah blah blah blah blah but if you go if you do your homework and and and research
who all that applies to uh the sections that talk about that only apply to uh activities
and persons who are under the the exclusive jurisdiction of the congress okay there are
people who live under the exclusive jurisdiction of the congress but that's not you and me yeah it's
like dc residents and federal employees as far as i understand it exactly so if you're not one of them
uh none of that stuff applies to you okay and the idea that you have to sign this form
saying that uh well actually my income isn't really mine it's actually belongs to this foreign
person um but i'm i'm i'm standing in his stead so i'm liable for the tax and uh you know so i'll
pass it along to you guys and uh it's called a w nine and uh you know that that's one of the the
great um shadow shadow uh yeah one of the great deceits yeah thank you deceits good word i was
looking for a word like that um yeah because if you go find a book called income tax shattering the
mist by david champion and if you go to uh dr reality dot you uh what is it dot not us oh crap what's the
domain uh news dr reality dot news and no this is not a paid you know uh commercial announcement
okay uh he doesn't give me any money to talk about him and i wish he would call in because
he's a lot more articulate about this than than i am since he spent 20 years of research writing the
book and uh i recently had a conversation with him where and i took the contents of a pamphlet
that he publishes which is basically a a uh a heads up to employers saying hey here's why
i don't need a 1099 okay and it goes into a bunch of um citations of law that that explains what
the w nine is for and what it isn't for and uh so i text uh i i i was an optical character
recognition the the the the text and sent it to chat gpt and chat gpt you know follows the
government line and says well no he's got this guy's completely wrong he's got his head up his butt
right and uh so i sent that information i edited it a bit and i actually paid him for some of his
time just to hear how him respond and he said yeah the problem is is that these these chat bots
get trained on information but where do they get the information you know and they may see
20 percent of tax law because that's available on the line you know and who's publishing that well
law firms and eight cpa's and the government okay but if you really look into that there's another
70 percent that chat gpt don't know nothing about so that's right if you think it's so smart it
can't even tell you how many laws are on the books yeah oh yeah yeah but uh but i invite people
to uh go to dr dr reality dot news and look at the stuff he's got there uh income tax shattering
the misses a book that i was listening to him back in 2004 five six seven back when he had a
had a podcast and uh he actually had uh was on the radio in some some markets and he was talking
about him right in this book and so he he published it well it's probably about 10 years
ago now he actually published it but uh but that reveals the whole picture and uh one of his recent
podcast really he talked about why the irs is still using 1960s 70s computer technology
instead of upgrading to all the modern stuff and uh his his response to that was well
because if you show a programmer okay um of here's what the law actually says and this is what we
have to actually have to program into the computer uh the jig would be up so so they're limping along
with their old old hardware because they they don't want to reveal the truth um it's kind of like
honor among thieves you know they they don't actually lie to you they just you know it's it's by
sins of omission it sure sounds like they're definitely withholding things i actually was
talking to someone working for a government agency the other day i think for the social
security administration and they were saying that their system is ms dos and that it's and
it's done that way to keep the system most secure because ms dos is more secure than windows
or something like that and that's their excuse yeah well you stick to that story but
anyway um yeah if you if you know once you really understand what's going on and what the law
actually says and the basic idea if you talk to somebody who understands how the law works
there's something called jurisdiction okay and the question the first thing you ask in
any kind of illegal thing is where is this jurisdiction who has jurisdiction and mainly
do you the person making the claim have jurisdiction over me and where does it come from
and most people just jump right over that you know somebody makes a claim and then
you start answering it and as soon as you start answering the claim then you've already assumed
that the jurisdiction exists whereas the first thing you do is you say um okay you've made a
claim can you back that up okay okay you you you claim there's this law okay how how do you
how do you establish you know using only facts uh that that law applies to me you know okay
how am I the guy that that that this this law is referring to and you know you never hear you
know people ask in that question is because we're trained not to yeah and from my understanding
if you if you pose that question to them they'll point at things like your driver's license and
the use of your social security number and I think maybe passport there's a few things they'll
point to to say see this is what makes you us citizen and so you really got to know your stuff
because they'll definitely have some things to try to trip you up with looks like this guy has
written a book that might be useful for anybody interested in this topic
yeah well several books I guess he's got business guide to payroll withholding he's got
um uh income tax shattering the myth I think and that's that's the that's the main book that
that goes through the entire entire story yep so all right thanks for the call go to that website
it was drreality.news if you're interested in this it seems like the guy at least at least
has done a little bit of his own research he may be fairly credible maybe yeah give us a call
603-283-6160 this is free talk live shortly after posting for the 10,000th time on his
twitter account earlier today despite only ever accumulating 15 followers local man Aaron Gartner
announced he's about ready to quit the popular microblogging site well I opened my account
about two years ago and tweeted pretty much every day since and it didn't return out like I
expected I thought you know once I hit 8,000 tweets I can get some traction start getting
more followers but it never really happened I mean I gave him my best shot I guess but I
think I'm about done here he has yet to be followed by anyone beyond a handful of friends family members
and seemingly inactive accounts this one time I tweeted out a pretty good joke about how
out of control Lindsay Lohan is and it actually got me a retweet it was from the sky in Argentina
I don't know who doesn't have any followers and he's not following anyone else oh hold on I say
apparently my aunt's following me now cool yes is the onion news network
from feature story news in Washington I'm Nick Harper the US says it's rescued one of the two
crew members from a fighter jet that was shot down by Iran president Donald Trump has been
briefed on the situation as the search and rescue operation continues for the second person
in that crew videos show a US transport plane and Black Hawk helicopter in the skies over Iran
apparently involved in that mission the downed jet was reportedly a two-seater F-15E fighter jet
with a two-man crew it comes after US defense secretary Pete Hegseth said the US had air
superiority over Iran and could operate virtually unchallenged over the country
the Cuban government is releasing 2000 prisoners in what it's calling a humanitarian and sovereign
gesture it comes as Washington has been putting increasing pressure on Cuba in recent months
including through a months long oil blockade of the island ever sends Mitch McCann reports
Cuba's embassy in Washington see the release of the prisoners is designed to coincide with
holy week an important religious occasion in a country that's largely Catholic according to
the New York Times the prisoner release includes young people those over 60 foreign nationals
and Cubans who live overseas it's unclear if Cuba's decision is to appease Washington whose
oil blockade has contributed to devastating power outages in recent months in March Donald
Trump told reporters he believed that he would have the honor of taking Cuba without
providing further explanation as to what he meant Mitch McCann, New York Canadian astronaut
Jeremy Hansen says he and his team are feeling pretty good as their Orion spacecraft takes them
to the far side of the moon the four astronauts are now hundreds of thousands of miles from the
earth as part of NASA's Artemis II mission ever since Stuart Smith has more the trip will
take the astronauts further from earth than anyone has been before in a mission to observe
but not land on the far side of the moon which is never visible from earth after slingshotting
around the earth a few times to build up momentum and the right trajectory the crew are now directly
on their way to the moon and are the first people to leave the earth's orbit since the 1970s
they're still a few days from reaching the moon though and in the meantime they'll check
their equipment control systems and plan for the observations they'll be doing when they get
close in their first public video call since launching commander Reed Wiseman gave an update
on their situation it was pretty tense moments there for a for a second and i gotta tell you there
is nothing normal about this sending four humans 250 000 miles away is a herculean effort and we
are now just realizing the gravity of that the u.s economy added 178 000 jobs in march
above expectations the u.s unemployment rate dropped slightly to 4.3 percent from bureaus

nuclear program up there they got to stop is there are they are they sending fentanyl from
the moon is there a reason i think the reason is to go take pictures of the darks over the far
side of the moon and then come back so just for funsies yeah just for funsies essentially
oh cool so uh here here's a story that might make that chafe a little bit this is from
matt agarist at the free thought project all right as americans go broke the us empire
goes full on bread and circuses washington is masking the reality of a crumbling economy
and neoconservative war drums with ufc spectacles direct the phone propaganda in the ultimate vanity
play putting a politician's signature on your devalued fiat currency you know uh see when this
was written april fourth you can add sending guys to the other side of the moon to this list
the legendary french queen Marie Antoinette never actually told the starving peasants to eat cake
but the modern-day ruling class in washington is currently shouting it through a taxpayer-funded
megaphone as americans watch their purchasing power evaporate and the threat of global conflict
climb the trump administration has responded not with relief but with a series of high-gloss
ego-driven distractions that would make a roman and emperor blush it is a grotesque display of
vanity operating under the guise of american exceptionalism while the working class puts the
bill the latest slap in the face came as the treasury department announced that for the first
time in 165 years a sitting president's signature will appear on us pay per currency hooray yeah
i'm so excited treasury officials praised the move as a way to recognize historic achievements
while the actual achievement most americans are feeling is a crippling spike in natural gas
costs and grocery prices that refuse to stabilize to brand the very notes that are losing value
by the hour is to literally sign the receipt for the theft of the american workers labor
through the hidden taxation of inflation while you while you struggled to decide between filling
the gas tank or the fridge the white house is busy transforming the south lawn into a
cage fighting arena the administration's plans for usc freedom 250 a massive mma event scheduled
to coincide with the president's 80th birthday is the bread and circuses strategy in its absolute
purest form the state provides a 60 million dollar taxpayer subsidized circus because it can no
longer afford to let you have the bread the gaslighting extends far beyond the cage
bleeding directly into the geopolitical arena where the drums of war with iran are beating
louder by the day the administration claims to be the vanguard of peace even the board of peace or
does that just mean he's bored of peace i almost wonder if you're right because he might just be
bored of peace or trying to achieve peace because he always he's seeming to want to drag the
world into war yeah tired of winning in board of peace that's what it is uh the administration
claims to be the vanguard of peace yet continuously moves the machinery of empire into position
violating the core tenants of the constitution while demanding blind patriotism they want you
distracted by a gold coin with the politicians face on it so you won't ask why the blood of
america's youth is being pre being prepped for the altar of the military industrial complex
in a futile attempt to maintain this illusion the establishment's favorite conservative echo
chambers have shifted into overdrive acting as full-time stenographers for the state
outlets like fox news newsmax and newsweek are bending over backward to paint a picture of
a savior president peddling the absolute fiction that the magabase is unified in
complete lockstep behind these neoconservative foreign policy disasters it is a coordinated
media campaign designed to isolate and silence any genuine anti-war dissent from within the right
but that carefully constructed facade is already cracking under the weight of its own hypocrisy
you only have to look at the recent uproar at cpac where the mere mention of impeachment
drew cheers from a crowd that the media insists is the president's most loyal vanguard voices
across the true liberty movement highlighted by independent commentators and publications
like the american conservative are exposing the reality that the anti-war right is entirely
fed up with being sold out to defense contractors these people are getting so desperate to control
the narrative and keep the gas lamps lit that they launched an official white house app to feed
you push notifications about a booming economy and other death deceitful pro-trump slop it is
so they essentially want to keep us fed by the circus by the by the news the good news of the circus
and the bread just like the animals were on animal farm it sure sounds that way it sure sounds like
they it sure sounds like that's what they want to do to keep us all distracted to keep us all
divided and as i see trump is doing great things for murica on its 250 year anniversary but no
it's all just trump's lop mm-hmm it is attempting to build a digital pen opticon to bypass independent
media and drown out the reality of utility shutoffs and foreign intervention the state is showing
you exactly who they are a collection of actors obsessed with their own reflection while the
audience starves in the world burns i wonder if this white house app is the thing i was hearing
about where the it's like the everything that you learn in the first year of computer science
to never do and then release into the public is like all the things that are on this app
is basically a security nightmare for anybody who downloads it i don't know if that's the
same thing but it wouldn't surprise me it wouldn't surprise me either but at the same time i don't know
if you're correct that it is a secure nightmare but if it is it's a terrible thing for the
government to do to you is give you a secure nightmare unless that's what they want to do
yeah i was listening to last american banner bonnie was talking about some app released by
by the federal government i think this may have been what he was talking about anyways
the article continues the answer is not to wait for a different administrator to take the
wheel of the war machine there is no voting your way out of this mess it is time we stop
recognizing their authority to create this dumpster fire all together as the ruling class
signs its name to your stolen wealth and demands your applause for their wars the only visible
path forward is absolute financial and social autonomy we strip them of their power the
moment we stop participating in their circuses and start building parallel systems they cannot
control fortunately the sheer desperation of their propaganda proves they are terrified of
a populist that is rapidly waking up to the grift every time the establishment rolls out another
taxpayer funded distraction thousands more so you can see the cage for what it is and begin
quietly opting out that peaceful voluntary rebellion is already happening all around us
and is the one thing their trillions in stolen wealth can never stop
uh well said madagress this is that is close closely aligned with the viewpoint in my
opinion of how we fix this you just you can't make your neighbor do it you can't there's not a
collective solution to this it's just you you just have to stop doing it you have to consider
them illegitimate and if they're going to extort from something from you make them say that what
they're doing is extorting from you because they're bullies um you know otherwise just live your
life be peaceful don't cause harm and uh and this illegitimate tyranny will just crumble under
its own weight and then that's what we all need to realize is that we have the ability to
end the tyrannical rule over us by these people in suits of titles because as individuals we have
the ability to say no if all of us decided one day that we're not going to comply what are they
going to do yeah there's nothing they can do they can't lock us all in the cage can they
no and and so this is this is the solution that works whether it's you know a few
very wealthy families that never let their name get out into the public or whether it's like
an immortal alien in Antarctica this running the world whatever it is that causes the ominous
continuity through the centuries uh it doesn't matter what it is it can't stand up to us
refusing to give it power it just becomes weak it's like saruman after you know after uh the
scouring of the shire yeah it just loses all this power because everybody's you know nobody
would give him any power anymore so um i don't know what else you want to talk about really
i did put some things into into the telegram chat um but i want to go back to the story
about us flying around the moon because i think it's fascinating okay i i think i think it's fascinating
because at the height of war and this bread and circus show that we're getting they're sending
people back to the moon and during the Vietnam war the american people were also distracted by
a moon program so i feel like trump is trying to distract the american people or thinking that he
could be just as great as the last presidents by distracting the american people at the moon
program while the economy collapses while there's war because he wants to be a great president too
he just wants someone to tell him hey you're the greatest person ever and so as we're witnessing
this whole thing unfold
we're witnessing the downfall of an empire i fear and it's it can be a good thing because
that gives us an opportunity to move forward and do something entirely different
but for many people will be a bad thing because they're not used to an empire ending
yeah i could look a bit scary i think uh especially like nobody it's a hard thing to
picture in your mind right like what does it look like america actually being coming coming
to a complete destruction certainly you're gonna have people still going to work on the day that
you know america falls apart or whatever that whatever that looks like wasn't being taken
over by a foreign power or just the government gives up and goes home or i don't know whatever
the case may be certainly you just still have people just that had that have such a hard time
even picturing such a thing that they're just going to go to work or try to go to the grocery
store or what you know go about their go out their normal lives i think a lot of people
are so focused on going home going to work coming home and trying to survive
that everything else outside of that is not on their mind because they're focused on survival
mode and i can understand that you know you're you're dealing with a world that's always a war
the financial situation is not great the economy is collapsing slowly your dollar is losing value
and you're focused on how to feed your children feed your family you know pay the bills things
like that and it's hard to focus on anything else and it seems like the powers that ought not be
want you that way so you're more compliant and more docile yeah they they certainly do have that
as part of their agendas it was a big drive of the women's liberation movement because now you
just have both parents working you don't get more stuff you just have to work more yeah
and they sold up women i'm guessing they sold women on the whole idea of oh you can have it all you
can have kids you can have a job you can have this you can have that but you know
men and women working in the workforce although can be a good thing it's also led to a breaking
part of the family
and that's another thing that builds society is family like i come from family of seven siblings of
sorry six siblings three brothers three sisters and even though i'm thousands of miles from i still
feel like i'm really close to them and that thing that's really important because
families are the basic building blocks of society and at the end of the day if at the family unit
is breaking apart then society is easily controlled would you agree with that yeah certainly to me
it seems that family is is the only form of government prescribed by nature yeah beyond that
it's all it's all human construct but nature says that you know if you're gonna be born it's gonna be
to a mother and father and and uh for you to have the best chances of survival mother and
father need to um put effort into seeing that outcome right all right so you posted one here
from ctv news kebek passes law banning street prayers prayer rooms in universities c e g e p's
not sure what that is but i bet we'll find out uh let's see here kebek is banning street
street prayers the coalition avanair kebek uh c a q super minister of identity super minister
of identity man these titles geez how would you how would you like to be the super minister of
identity somebody wants to have that job obviously yeah john francis robert has just passed his
bill to strengthen secularism the legislation received the support of the party kebecois
while the liberals in kebek's solid air solid air voted against it man fringes
why can't you just use english words minister robert friends instead minister robert has
previously stated that street prayers could be considered acts of provocation how dare you
pray history vote people by praying municipalities will be able to authorize them but only under
certain criteria the new law will also ban the wearing of religious symbols by daycare
educators the government is also extending this ban to teachers and staff at private schools
oh my goodness however there will be a grandfather clause for employees hired before november 27th
2025 the full face bill will be banned in daycare centers c e g e p's and universities for both
those receiving services and those providing them the the league alt government is also signaling the
end of the road for subsidized private religious schools these schools will have three years to
stop selecting students and teachers based on their religious affiliation and to cease teaching
religious content during school hours otherwise they will lose access to public funds religious
activities may still take place in these schools but only outside of school hours they must also
be optional and not funded by the state the minister is also putting an end to prayer rooms
in c e g e p's and universities did it explain to us what c e g e p is i can't remember but it sounds
to me like what they're trying to do is get government out of prayer i don't know i don't
know i'm trying to figure this out of everywhere that they have you know the notion that they
have jurisdiction okay is what it sounds like okay uh let's see the legal government is thus
strengthening its bill 21 on secularism which prohibits the wearing of religious symbols by
government employees and positions of authority including judges police officers and teachers
once again kebek is shielding its law from legal challenges with the notwithstanding clause
hmm the the pq is taking some credit for the adoption of this legislation let's acknowledge
that several ideas in this bill which will become law come from the party kebek koys we're dealing
with a government that often when we put forward an idea reacts by saying it doesn't make sense
then in the end essentially adopts the same approach we had from the start so we believe
this is indeed what needs to be done sent pq member elix something french i can't pronounce
kebek kebek solidaire strongly criticizes the ban on religious symbols for daycare educators
contrary to what the minister says there will be daycare educators who will lose their jobs
if they were hired after november 27th or if they change facilities this is serious
at a time when we're facing a crisis in our public services parents are worried
and women want to work and have someone to care for their children in daycare centers
say qs spokesperson rubik guzzall i have so many problems with this story
canada must be nuts holy cow it sounds like it like government overreach when it comes to religion
you can't wear religious symbols in the street otherwise i don't know it just seems so overbearing
to me yeah uh yeah so i don't know i have mixed feelings about the attack on religion right because
most religions are absolute nonsense and in fact i'd say i haven't heard of a single organized
religion on the planet that isn't nonsense every single one of them nonsense i agree with you
on that but most of them will say oh we're the one true path to god or whatever we have the one true
the one knowledge to save you the one way to say there there are many as many paths to god as
there are individuals on the planet i agree with you there yeah absolutely spirituality is real
religions is kind of just bunk it's it's not going to help you get there it's just going to
bulk you out of some money and give you a bunch of uh um you know red herrings so uh for that for
canada to go ahead and ban is like on the one hand i don't know does this mean that
does this mean that um their legislators can publicly display their dual allegiance to
canada and whatever other country they love or especially if it's a religious country
um i don't know like which religions are going to have the biggest problem with this rule
and are any of the religions going to be exempted from it you see what i'm saying yeah i think
christian you'll have a problem with it islam will have a problem with it for sure
but as for who is going to get the grease i would say that leftists and canada is a leftist
country they want to pander to islam because it's the main order yeah and i also wonder if it's
going to go something like hijab not allowed uh cross necklace not allowed yeah yamaka allowed
okay you know what i mean and so like they're going to have this weird kind of
um i don't know arbitrary seeming sort of rule set that doesn't it it doesn't hold up logically and
and you're just going to have people embittered by it but i don't know i don't know how they'll do it
uh it just seems like
i was i was showing a little bit of a video from a from a i don't know if it was like a
a senate meeting or some it was a canadian government
function you know like like what it looks like on c span when they show the the congress meetings
and whatever yeah but it was it was canadian and those people are nuts like i was i was blown away
by the amount of nonsense i heard in this short little three minute video it's all about the
nonsense you heard uh the the person of the podium talking was like calling everyone comrades
for one oh so it was a leftist convention up there yeah and it was um it was uh one person spoke up
and asked to not have gendered language used during the meeting interesting and um
i think i saw clips of that and this lady up front was just like losing her mind
trying to like bark orders about people sitting down so that the counters can count how many
people are in the room and it's just like i don't know it it's so creepy and safe space feeling

operation continued nick harper reports from washington video show a u.s transport plane and
blackhawk helicopter in the skies over iran apparently involved in the rescue mission
officials say one of the crew has now been rescued and is receiving hospital treatment the
whereabouts of the second crew member are still unknown the downed jet was reportedly a two-seater
f-15 e fighter jet with a two-man crew it comes after u.s defense secretary pete hegseth said the
u.s had air superiority above iran and could operate virtually unchallenged over the country

by the united states leader that iran's weapons stockpile had been widely depleted there's no sign
of a ceasefire in sight at the moment with iran's foreign ministry rejecting donald trump's claim
that the country had asked for a halt to the fighting as baseless meanwhile u.s supreme court
justices cast out on president trump's attempts to restrict birthright citizenship one of his most
ambitious policy endeavors the president took the unprecedented step of attending the high
court for oral arguments as conservative and liberal justices questioned the legality of his
attempt to block the children of illegal immigrants born on u.s soil from automatically becoming
citizens kate fischer reports from the u.s supreme court quite the welcome for president donald
trump as he became the first sitting president to hear oral arguments of the supreme court
over whether his executive order limiting birthright citizenship is legal one of his
arguments is that if unrestricted it leads to so-called birth tourism where pregnant women
travel to the u.s to give birth so that their baby can have american citizenship but the chief
justice john robert seems skeptical the justices also had vigorous questions for aclu lawyer
cecilia wang but she found notably less resistance in her defense of birthright
citizenship a decision is expected by the end of june or early july canadian astronaut

as one of the 100 campers in the studio tonight it's stew and riley obel we're gonna go straight
to the phones we've got sarah in new mexico sarah what's on your mind it's nice to talk with
you guys and i have a huge win we're getting four more speeding cameras and apple cookie
why do you consider that to be a win sarah well i have been working on these speeders we got drag
racers speeders we got people hit and run i mean they run stop signs red light cameras i mean
everything so speeding cameras is better than nothing it's something so it's a huge right so
four more so we got 20 so just little by little they're just adding more they promise to put
another 20 more but i love speeding cameras yep sarah thinks that that's going to make people
slow down it really doesn't though because most of the people who are speeding can afford to just pay
the ticket and they really don't care how many times they get a speeding ticket until they'll just
pay and pay and pay it yeah until it affects their you know like you can only get so many
until they threaten to take your license away or whatever but i don't think they do that here
i don't do in our state you know there's no points against the driver's license
so you just keep getting them and paying them wow the speeding cameras aren't gonna do anything now
yeah this is new mexico i mean that it's amazing so here's the thing other states like in georgia
your your your points goes on your driver's license points goes to your
credit rating points go to your insurance companies and what else does it do
it's it's not i mean i think some states it's criminal i mean they will
if you're unpaid uh red like never they will haul you and put you in jail i mean
say they were texas illinois all right you know like chicago but on state the only thing that
they could do is put them on your credit so then if you have back credit you're half
half your life you're homeless the other half you're in jail you have you don't need credit you
don't want credit you don't have credit you could get all these tickets and tear them all up i mean
that's the only thing i i have the people are not paying and what what i see is there's two
cars parked around what they're doing is they're taking their license plate and putting up on
the rear view car and it's tinnit there's a car like that and then there's a yeah i mean so they're
taking and then they have i think there's another car with that bogus temporary it's a bogus temporary
license and they stick it on the rear back rear window so then the red light cameras can't take
a picture of it or something i love the creative ways that people are avoiding these traffic
cameras that makes me really excited yeah that's funny yeah that that is really funny you know what
i know that it's a fake temporary license because i've seen this other car with this white paper
stuck on the car for like a whole year every time that's parked there they have a temporary license
so i'm thinking they must know somebody in the dmv it's just a black and white paper like a print
out that you feel like you could fill out with any bogus any person could put that out using a
computer scanner or whatever and just write any bogus number on it i i don't know that you'd be
surprised sara um i may or may not know somebody who drove around for more than a year in a car
with plates that didn't even belong on it and were expired no problems from the cops
oh but it looks it actually looked like a license plate but these are the temporary it's just a
black and white paper with a black print on it so it's not like anything authentic anybody could
print a similar like temporary license and write whatever names on it and maybe i'm thinking
maybe they have family or friends that work for dmv and all they have to do is give you a
blank temporary paper and you just fill out any they'll probably give you the expired license plate to
write down and then they stuck it up in the back window and they run around like like this no that
could never happen the people that work at the dmv are so pure of heart they work for the government
don't you know they're they're um anointed and holy and they could never do anything wrong
no corruption ever happens in government they're they're the perfect saviors
all kinds of things going on and then i have no idea in our state i have no idea if there are
consequences that that's with you people that are worried that these needs credit they need to
borrow money for a loan on a house or to buy a car they need real they will pay it all the rest
of them that have no like okay one out of four people have no drivers uh equal no car insurance
here okay so so it's supposed to be a law and there's one fourth of the people that don't have
many don't pay it don't have car insurance and then or they've or they've just figured out that
it's a scam and if they can drive for 30 years uninsured and then they get caught and have
to pay the $3050 ticket it was way better than the four thousand dollars they were going to spend
on auto insurance that they were never going to use because they're careful drivers
which i've done before and i came out ahead so what they do is they get taken to court they'll
go to the did someone you got to get a driver's uh you got to get your car insurance what they do
is they enroll for a whole month and the next month they cancel out yeah they don't
why wouldn't you to get yeah that's another racket you know so here but here's the problem with that
if you get hit if you're grabbing in the metro you have to have a pay a uninsured motorist
so you have to pay for an uninsurance card to hit you to run the stop-right and assignment
your car otherwise they have no insurance so you're you're done if your car gets damaged and
totaled there's nobody's going to help you out and that's the end of it so you have to pay
for the uninsured car motorists because one out of four cars that will hit you that'll run the
red light and famine to you they don't have any insurance so that's what you got to have in
New Mexico if you have a decent car that you want to salvage or anything yeah it's part of the
minimum state requirement in a lot of states to have uninsured motorists covered are you serious
that's required too yeah but i thought i thought it was just a minimum of just liability to cover
what i don't know the cover your fault or something you can't do nothing about covering
the other person i have no idea but yeah i can't remember it wasn't a lot of coverage it was only
like $10,000 or something in Utah where they did this in in New Hampshire they don't require you to
have insurance which actually makes it a lot cheaper which is nice because i i mean i've run
the insurance anyways just because just because it's cheap enough that it seems like it seems like
it's probably worth it for me um but they don't you know they don't have a state minimum requirements
they don't have any requirement for it but in Utah they had one and uninsured motorists was on
that list but i think it was only up to like 10,000 yeah so i just hope you know if there's
there's a driver with a fake temporary license that they just wrote in and stuck it in the back
rear window but if they're between cars that are afraid of getting a ticket in the front and the
back they're going to have to do the speed limit that's what i think about it the other speeders
there's sandwich between people that are afraid of tickets they can't speed either
yeah well i don't know the red light cameras aren't going to stop the speeders uh and thanks
for the call tonight if anything i think the red light cameras are going to create more
create ways to get out of speeding tickets or people are just going to pay the fines and not care
yeah you're just going to have people doing you know doing the things like uh like the um the
license plate covers that make it hard to take a picture of or the fake fake temporaries or whatever
they're going to do people they can afford to pay a speeding ticket and want to speed are
going to speed and then pay the ticket and people that can't afford to pay the ticket or
and want to speed they're going to speed and not pay the ticket it's not really that big of an
influence on people's decision when they're actually behind their wheel whether or not
they're going to let off the gas or push it for me i keep it under the speed limit because i
don't like police interactions and i try to avoid them uh or i keep it under the you know the
the implied five over is the actual speed limit so that so that's i keep it between
the posted speed limit and five over those speeds will won't ever get you pulled over you might be
doing something else that gets you pulled over but it won't be the speed so so i you know and that's
that's because i don't want to i don't want the police interactions and i'm not going to speed
because one it's not going to save me enough time and two it's going to increase my risk of um you
know catastrophic vehicular failure or accident uh in other words it's it's you know the faster you
going the less safe you are um which you know it's fine i feel fine driving fast but um
but it's not number three is that it is not going to save you that much time right and so
did i already say that one sorry no worries uh yeah and i'm not going to pay them and it's a
big hassle on my time to have to go into court and tell them why i'm not going to pay them
and then find out what else they want me to do you know so the drain on my time the police
interaction those are enough to incentivize me to not do it and and the upside isn't enough
to incentivize me to do it yeah so i don't know personally i'm not a big speeder but i support
people's um i support people that want to do so and can do it competently and you know within reason
and i think go ahead speed away it's uh i don't know i kind of sympathize with sarah though
some people are absolute maniacs when they get when they get behind the wheel of the vehicle
it's just they should not ever do it because one time i was driving uh i was driving over to brattle
bro on nine and there's you know one lane each direction and a shoulder that's about
not quite wide enough to fit a whole car on well this gigantic truck comes down the road
like like there's you know a line of traffic so if somebody's going 50 the posted speed limit
it's going to make a big line of cars behind it because everybody wants to go 55 or 60 and so
it was one of those situations and this big huge pickup truck all just like huge jacked up oversized
tires comes flying down the shoulder oh man just passing cars without any regard not honking
his horn just flies down the shoulder he must have been going at least at least 90 but i would
guess probably closer to 100 that's great and and that is not that's not safe you can't be doing
that kind of stuff yeah some old grandma is going to see you and the marriage she's going to panic
and pull over to the right because that's her instinct and you are going to kill her and
that you know like you really want to live with that i don't so i don't drive like an idiot
but some people don't seem to have such reservations it seems like when people get
behind a wheel it's like their mind goes out the window yeah and what it sounds like i mean i
have never driven before on roads so i couldn't answer the question but just sounds like
what people told me everyone just goes crazy you know what it feels like though when somebody
stops hard or turns hard oh yeah you can tell there's a lot of weight and a lot of g-force
there and and people just don't think about it that way they don't they never consider the
fact that what they're driving is weighs thousands of pounds which is absolutely destroy whatever it
hits and there's a plane on their phone or going way too fast or whatever it is they're doing
but yeah i mean you know they they come up with new laws and new new penalties for
this type of behavior all the time and this type of behavior doesn't decrease so
i don't know red light cameras seem like a waste of time and money to me sarah sure gets excited
about them it sounds like she does well from her past calls on the show she seems like a very
big government person loves the idea of communism and so i can see you're getting
delighted by like by these speeding cameras because she wants control for society
yeah she does i wonder what it is that motivates her maybe i should ask her one of these nights
whether it's um she's obviously not going to admit to it if it's stupidity yeah i don't
think it's stupidity though i think sarah's got some i think she's got some underlying
cleverness to her i think she does too i mean she she knows how to call this show she knows how
to talk to people obviously she's either scared or she has such a desperation to be part of a tribe
that she's willing to uh glom on to the yeah you know to the biggest group that looks like a
tribe to her which would be leftist government types um so anyways riley brought another story
this one from ap news the reputable news source the ap news is just like
that's just like the uh the big pool of state propaganda that all the news agencies pull from
is that right i would say so yeah so i think that's where the big propagandists pull their
their stories from i like to use the ap because at least if there's a rumor the ap can
either confirm it for me or they might have their own spin on it so i can be like okay well
this might be the truth on the matter and this might be the ap's version of the truth
mm-hmm
that's why uh news news companies pulling their information from ap is how you get the phenomenon
of you know the 300 news broadcasters saying the same sentence with the same inflection
and it's a real creepy especially when they overlay them and make videos if you haven't seen
one of those you definitely should they're really interesting yeah go look it up
uh all right this was a quadruple amputee
cornhole player
fatally shoots man what the heck i know it's a wild story all right that's one heck of a headline
quadruple amputee cornhole player fatally shoots man mariland authorities say
a professional cornhole player there's a professional cornhole league
yes there's america come on you gotta do
bread and she can do you can do something better than that i think a professional cornhole player
who's also a quadruple amputee has been accused of fatally shooting a passenger in the front
seat of a car he was driving during an argument mariland authorities say who was driving the
quadruple amputee or the person that got shot i think the amputee
doesn't quadruple amputee mean you have your arms and legs removed
i would assume so i wonder how he plays cornhole
that's what i was wondering you talk it with your mouth i have no idea
oh geez all right let's go on with the story datan james webber 27 was featured by espn in 2023
in a story of inspiration noting he rode dirt bikes wrestled and played football before becoming
a professional cornhole player in the same year he wrote an essay for the today's show about how
he became a professional competitor on sunday night he was arrested and charged as a fugitive
from justice by police in in albert narl county what that is albert narl i might be county virginia
the charles county sheriff's office said in a statement charles county is seeking his extradition
from virginia and said he will be charged with first-degree murder second-degree murder
and related charges it wasn't clear tuesday whether webby webber has an attorney yet
messages seeking comment were left for his mother in a 2023 essay for the today's show
webber said doctors amputated his arms and legs when he was 10 months old to save his life after
he contracted a serious blood infection his medical team gave him a three percent chance of
surviving he wrote webber went on to become a professional player of cornhole which players
throw beanbags through a hole in a slanted wooden board to score points in the essay for the
today's show he said he learned to grab the beanbag by the corners and throw it using his amputated
arms webber pulled over after the shooting in la platte maryland and asked two passengers in
the back of the car to help pull the victim out the charles county sheriff's office said the witness
the witnesses refused got out of the car and flagged down police officers webber fled with the
victim still in the car the sheriff's office said two hours later a resident in charlotte hall
about about a 10 mile drive away reported a body in a yard officers found the victim
bradrick michael wells 27 of wall dwarf who was pronounced dead at the scene
the american cornhole league posted a statement on its facebook page saying it is aware of
allegations involving webber but said it would not comment on what is called an active legal
situation while proceedings were ongoing
this is such a strange story because it posts some of the comments here
from hang on where where are these this must be on x i guess okay somebody says i'm reminded
of blade runner dude his legs look lethal overcome incredible odds then toss them away
like a bean bag
somebody says so many questions here starting with professional a ham cornhole i assume they
mean bean bag toss professional bean bag toss seriously yeah i brought that one up
a man with no legs or arms shot someone and drove away evading police wow how that's what i

from feature story news in washington i'm nick harper the u.s says it's rescued one of the two
crew members from a fighter jet that was shot down by iran president donald trump has been briefed
on the situation as the search and rescue operation continues for the second person in
that crew videos show a us transport plane and blackhawk helicopter in the skies over iran

superiority over iran and could operate virtually unchallenged over the country
the cuban government is releasing 2000 prisoners in what it's calling a humanitarian and sovereign
gesture it comes as washington has been putting increasing pressure on cuba in recent months
including through a months long oil blockade of the island ever since mitch mccann reports
cuba's embassy in washington see the release of the prisoners is designed to coincide with
holy week an important religious occasion in a country that's largely catholic according to
the new york times the prisoner release includes young people those over 60 foreign
nationals and cubans who live overseas it's unclear of cuba's decision is to appease washington
whose oil blockade has contributed to devastating power outages in recent months in march donald
trump told reporters he believed that he would have the honor of taking cuba without providing
further explanation as to what he meant mitch mccann new york canadian astronaut jeremy
hansen says he and his team are feeling pretty good as their iran spacecraft takes them to

this sending for humans 250 000 miles away is a herculean effort and we are now just realizing
the gravity of that the u.s economy added 178 000 jobs in march above expectations the u.s
unemployment rate dropped slightly to 4.3 percent from bureaus worldwide this is efsen
we're still not sure why you'd want to watch but our video feed is streaming nightly for
free at cam dot free talk live dot com it's free talk live talk radio you control give us a call
the phone number is 603 283 6160 this is the final segment but you do still have time
in the studio tonight it's stew and the ralio bill
um we'd love to have a conversation with you but if you don't call us that's okay
we can talk about something else we have plenty to talk about there's plenty of stuff going on
the world we could definitely talk about here's the thing that i found an activist post from
michael zimmerman at bitcoin magazine us senators unveil mind in america act to reshore btc lining
codified bitcoin strategic rivers reserve this thing turned out so far to be a big nothing
burger the strategic bitcoin reserve was all made of stolen bitcoin yep well the bitcoin
hollers hoped it meant that the us was actually going to start um purchasing bitcoin but they had
no intention of doing anything like that of course not that would be the most intelligent thing to
do they want to do the easy thing and sell money from people or bitcoin from people just because
they could yeah they just wanted to wave a wave of flag around and shout about how great they are
because look at our big pile of stolen bitcoin yep uh the republican senators bill cassidy and
synthia lumas introduced legislation monday aimed at reshaping the u.s digital asset mining sector
tightening supply chains and embedding bitcoin into federal reserve strategy the proposal titled
mind in america act would establish a federal certification program for domestic crypto mining
operations while phasing out reliance on foreign manufactured hardware um
huh i wonder if that's like the first step to um to like making it illegal to use a foreign
mining pool or foreign mining equipment it might be and they might use that to
oh well now new hampshire is for an equipment or or someone's using a vpn they could use that
against them too mm-hmm it also seeks to codify donald trump's executive order creating a strategic
bitcoin reserve placing the policy on statutory footing according to a release on the matter
yeah i i guess so if they start passing laws that are that you know reference this strategic bitcoin
reserve then it makes it more of a real thing and it doesn't just fade away into nothingness
because right now it's really just nothing yeah it definitely is nothing i know they're still
planning on using stolen bitcoins but once it's codified they're definitely going to start using
stolen bitcoins and pretend that they're actually you know having a strategic reserve of bitcoin
when in reality they're just stealing it from people mm-hmm digital asset mining is a big part
of our economy we should be doing it here in america cassidy said in a statement framing the
bill as a supply chain and manufacturing initiative that's funny like like bitcoin mining is
is an actual uh it results in actual goods or you know what i mean like it's silly to
for my brain to consider bitcoin mining as part of the economy or supply chains that's weird
lume is tied the legislation to a broader push to position the united states as a global hub
for digital assets the mind in america act brings this industry home through forward
thinking initiatives to secure our financial future barham statement barman's statement she said
the bill directs the department of commerce to create a voluntary
mind in america certification for mining facilities and pools that meet security and
sourcing standards certified operators would be required to transition away from hardware linked
to foreign adversaries over a phased timeline with the goal of full compliance by the end
of the decade full compliance comply with the magic compliance it's just interesting to
me that here they are saying oh this is voluntary now but soon enough it won't be yeah and as we
look back at the uh the great american view point of the bitcoin experiment those who were
trying to be most compliant with the government are the ones that got hammered the hardest
so and i'm not telling anybody to be non-compliant or but i'm also not telling you to be compliant
because that's obviously not a good idea yeah lawmakers and industry advocates have pointed
to a stark imbalance in the current mining ecosystem while the united states controls an
estimated 38 percent of global bitcoin hash rate what do you mean the united states
controls it like the united states government is mining 38 percent of the global bitcoin i don't
think so they're talking about individuals inside of america right yeah but the way they
write that sentence sounds so communist government you know what i mean oh they've got to make it
sound because in the case of the minor in the case of china they can say china controls an
estimated 38 percent or whatever right and that would be accurate but when they say the united
states controls that's different like that that's a horrible way to say that because it's not accurate
anyways roughly 90 percent of specialized mining hardware is produced in chinese firms
including bitmain and micro bt used to be bitmain was the only one making um good bitcoin miners
when did that change i don't know apparently there's micro bt now huh interesting i don't
know anything about that um i haven't even looked at i haven't looked at the mining tech
or the the market for mining machines for yeah quite a while because i wouldn't mind bitcoin
uh it'd be too expensive to mine i think yeah i might mine something else but not bitcoin
well and not even just because it's expensive just because it's not it's by far not my favorite
coin it's the most popular so i'll use it but it's kind of a piece of junk
it's so it's so pricey it's so clunky and just so great it's so clunky and just don't and yeah it's
definitely really clunky like you can't it's only feature his number goes up yeah that's the only
nice thing about it his number goes up like there are tons of other coins out there that could
be really great like bitcoin cash dash manero yeah i really like dash for usability um it's let
me down fewer times than even like bitcoin cash yeah uh and and i'll i'll give it to the bch chain
like a lot of its shortcomings were due to outside attacks um whether socially engineered attacks or
actual internet computer related technology attacks they even attacked their own chain once
kind of they spammed the heck out of their own chain to see what kind of throughput it could get
and it went ahead and proved that not increasing the block size was really dumb for the bitcoin
main chain and yet they didn't they kept it up they kept not increasing the block size yeah
after 92 plus percent of all the miners were signaling yes we want to increase the block
size and then like two weeks later you know the block stream guys get a million bucks from
henry the castries and a xa and yeah which is very builder berg related and suddenly
nope we're just going to do the segwith thing keep the block small uh anyways there's uh
yeah there's a lot a lot of better coins out there than btc bitcoin
i'm personally a fan manero or the idea of manero for pricey privacy i've never used
manero in a transaction yet i've never seen manero but it's really cool and and it has been for a
long time and i've always kind of been like skeptical that it would work out for a lot of
reasons that i don't really necessarily want to get into right now but yeah um it's it's held
in there really well and a lot of people have adopted it and it's cool manero is it cool
cool and i like that better than btc um but yeah btc is just so sorely lacking and in so many ways
that it should do you know anything about xrp i've heard i've seen a lot of posts on twitter
or or now x promoting it i looked into it when it was kind of a new thing and i decided i was
never gonna buy any and i haven't and i don't i don't read about it it's not interesting to me
it's uh it's like a it was designed as like a
as like a second layer for the banks okay uh digital currency for the banks
it's supposed to be like an interbank sort of currency thing but yeah it the whole i don't
support wasn't because it was because it was tied to the banks or what made you decide that
yeah that was part of it and then and then the
let's see this was a long time ago um so i think the way they had it set up as far as
so like with the bitcoins got 21 million built in scarcity kind of thing and xrp i think
doesn't have that i don't think they have a hard cap on how many coins oh that could be a problem
if people want to produce more coins well they have you know they have ways of controlling it so
that there's a planned amount of inflation okay there are a lot of coins that don't have a cap
they're fine yeah but that but certainly back then definitely more so than now the 21 million
hard cap was was very appealing to me of course i realized after thinking about why do they have
eight spots after the decimal um that that it doesn't matter if they say there's only going
to be 21 million because as soon as they start changing how many spots they have after the
decimal it's the same thing as inflating the total supply yeah and i've been argued with
that no it's not but if you think about it it does exist it has the exact effect of inflation
on the existing supply so i don't know and i expect they'll do that at some point that's not
you know that's years to come that they'll have to do it i figure once you get to million
dollar bitcoin because then you got what one dollar satoshi yeah and they've got to do
something to make the the bitcoin more reusable yeah and you can't have one dollar is the very base
you know um the very smallest amount transactable right because once satoshi is the smallest
amount transactable it is one one hundred millionth of a coin do you think bitcoin
could ever go to a million dollars though yeah and not not necessarily because it's
it's so like you know a million u.s. dollars at that time not only buy you 10 loaves of bread
or something yeah or a bicycle okay but yes i think it could go way past a million interesting
yeah depending you know depending on what u.s. dollar does but even if u.s. dollar held its
current value in terms of actual market goods i still think it could go to a million yes
okay um you you start seeing the rest of the world use this as a as a you know a worldwide asset in
which they're trading major goods like oil and um grain and whatever else they trade technology
weapons they start denominating these things in bitcoin valuation and yeah you could see the
price go way way up at that point is going to be hard to get yourself more than you know
point zero zero zero zero five of a bitcoin anymore so might still be a good idea to buy a
little bit and just put it in a wallet make sure you got those keys yeah you know hard copied down
somewhere yeah do you think that'll happen in our lifetime i think the whole bitcoin thing
will play out and die in our lifetime okay it's my guess probably by the time i'm real old but
yeah yeah i think i think bitcoin will be will die will be replaced by one world currency
unless people demand something else but yeah you're going towards globalism so it would only
make sense for there only to be one global currency right yeah the one currency they
get traded all over the world and it you might come out with i'm sure i'm sure there will be
local currencies and also somewhat of a competition in the digital currency market like there is now but
maybe maybe not you know it's varied you might only have three or four alternatives
and they'll be you know they'll only be allowed to exist as long as they follow a
certain rule set or something like that but i i don't i don't see a lot of freedom in the
in the world of money coming just because they made digital money
okay especially you know after watching all the bitcoin people that started out is like yeah
this thing gives us freedom from the banks and from inflation and from all the evil things
the money does and it just turned into oh a number go up and this is a store of value
and i don't care if it does all the evil things so you know unless people demand
something better that's what you're going to get but we have a color on the line this is day
that in new mexico what's on your mind david what you're talking about so break it down so like
if you're using the dollar or if you're using an ounce of gold or if you're using silver
or you're using bitcoin whatever okay so you're talking about bitcoin so use that
but you might as well be talking about gold because what you're really talking about is
a thing that is
finite and then you divide that thing into however many divisions you want you the divisions are
infinite the thing is finite so once again gold and bitcoin for in that respect same thing
so the numbers you know one million dollars whatever that's completely irrelevant
um what what is relevant though is you know if people accept the thing in exchange for another
thing and presently they accept you know a gold we're not going to i'm not talking about the
fact that you can't go into walmart and buy something with gold but people accept gold people
accept bitcoin so they're the same in that way and they're both finite and then the way that
you determine the value is you take the thing and divide it into everything that exists or divide it
into by everything that exists so every loaf of bread every automobile every acre of land everything
it has value you know and to simplify it we'll just say okay we're only going to use
one thing as a as a medium of exchange we're only going to use bitcoin so for this example
so you take the totality of the bitcoin uh divided by everything that exists which is
basically equity you know the equity of the universe you know divided into and mathematically
you're using 21 million not notwithstanding the ones that are you know lost um and and so there
there you can you can determine the value in bitcoin of everything that exists if you could
do that mathematical equation which actually you know especially with super computing or quantum
computing you can do a pretty close estimate but even with pencil and paper you could get
pretty damn close at estimating what the value of a loaf of bread is uh in this point in time
in bitcoin so you follow me kind of except when you start talking about the value of
everything in the universe because that's that goes into the realm of if i say everything on earth
then oh well you didn't include what's on the moon or what's on mars or what's in the andromeda
yeah but we don't even know the fully we don't even know the full use of everything on the earth yet
so there might be a substance here that we don't we don't realize the value in at this time right
and so then when you do when you do find that value then you add that into your mathematical
equation well that'd be a very constant constantly changing complicated sort of thing then well no
it'd be very easy it's like uh what if great arithmetic
i well no because also you're gonna have a hard time making an assessment of how much of which
substances exist everywhere no well for our purposes you you you just account for
what is reasonably known to exist okay the amount accessible to humans at this time then
okay yeah if you can't use it presently then it doesn't matter if you want to have a separate
math equation that includes everything that we think we can get to in the next
five seconds or in the next five minutes or in the next five days or you know whatever length
of time you want you could include that you could do that math as well but yeah it still has problematic
externalities in that though like like if somebody discovers a vein of gold that's as large as
the entire known supply on the planet well they've already done that there's a supposedly an
asteroid floating out there that is known that has enough gold on it to to make let's say they found
one in the dirt in the earth you know what i mean and they didn't have to figure out how to go get
it they just could start mining it might be easier to get the one that's traveling around in space
that has the gold right on the surface and all you got to do is land a craft on it and then
load it up and send it back to earth as opposed to looking for what you don't know if it exists
or not somewhere a mile underground yeah but it causes the necessary reevaluation of the whole scheme
well welcome to life dude yeah i'm aware of that did you not like did you not like math class when
you're in school i did not i do like math i did not like math class right you didn't even like school
dude so you know um so just just assign that job to people that actually enjoy math and
doing that kind of thing and then you just got asked them for the answer
mm-hmm all right so what was the uh what was the goal of
the goal of what so um sorry i i interjected there while you were before i think you got to your
final point no no i i i never have a final point dude i can keep going and going okay so why would
we want to never reach i never reached the like to finish my sentence i never reached the end of
my intellect yeah well we were talking about though was uh having just one currency and evaluating
that which exists in in that currency that's a simple enough equation i get that
um right did you have a point about what you know just using one currency
well first of all that's not realistic we're never gonna use just one currency nor should we
know we shouldn't the bankers would like it though or who the f cares what the bankers want
the bankers well then f them i think so too but i don't know what what's the but what's the
problem but people keep following their incentives and empowering them
right and so then your job if you don't like it is to think of a way to derail that little scam
mm-hmm so got enough got some ideas um i i might or might not have ideas about that
how about how about uh oh oh let's see or i'll oh right oh rightly bill bill i don't know if i have
any good ideas either dude well come on man just smoke another doobie you'll get an idea
certainly using an alternative to the currency that you don't like would be one idea right yeah
yeah so yeah that's that's one good idea that's that's well underway you know with bitcoin and
Monero and the other million uh altcoins mean coins trading and skills would be a good idea too
yet well i'm sorry say that again i think i heard you said but i'm not maybe trading and skills could
be a good idea too yes although that we we used to do that and we and they kind of figured out how to
game that whole system and so we got a breakdown how did they game that system you know the bankers
and the other powers that be um so that what they finagled away into getting a large percentage
of everything you do and then they promised you a good retirement
well yeah you got to take care of the slaves man i mean the how hard are the slaves gonna work for
you if when they they're their retirement age because they're they're too uh you know they're
not they can't do the work anymore if you just off them then you're kind of gonna like the
other slaves are kind of not going to like work as well if they know that you know when they get
too old they're going to be like just the dispose though so yeah you got to give them or you got to
give the slaves a retirement but that's all factored in man they got that covered of course they tax
you on the retirement too and a lot of cases don't well in almost all cases don't they yes they
do and they own the medical system which will get the last drop out of you at the end anyways
and they know it uh they don't i mean you can't take it with you but they certainly don't want you
leaving it to someone else no they don't they will take that thank you very much this has been free

if you're looking for work it's a process of elimination and you're trying not to be eliminated
so here's a tip for making the cut and this might seem subtle but to the person interviewing you it's
not there is a world of difference between applicants who convey i need a job and those who simply
ooze i want to work especially in these lean times when many you're competing with will seem
desperate in i'll take anything mode if you convey specific interest in this job at this
company you will be conspicuous thus the value of going to school on the company you're applying to
before the interview with money and attention so tight now effective communication skills have
never been more important for more tips for job seekers and everyone else hit survival speech
