WEBVTT 00:00.300 --> 00:06.740 Rose at whatever time and went down whatever time and hours in between like that's the least amount right the ancients knew this 00:06.740 --> 00:10.660 They were able to figure it out just by looking over this guy. Yeah, right 00:11.900 --> 00:13.600 That's all I'm claiming. Okay 00:14.160 --> 00:21.080 Cool. Well, we're gonna go straight to the phones cuz it's a calling show and we have Dave Ridley on the phone 00:21.080 --> 00:24.960 Dave Ridley out you're on free talk live. What's on your mind? I 00:24.960 --> 00:31.160 Have a question which is a song it goes like this P doom. What's your P doom? What's your P doom? 00:31.800 --> 00:32.760 Have you guys ever heard this song? 00:33.620 --> 00:35.380 No, it's from the new SpongeBob movie 00:36.360 --> 00:41.960 No, but it is my question for you. I want to know what your P doom is each of you. You know what P doom is 00:42.540 --> 00:47.840 No, can you define that for us? Oh, it's a P doom stands for probability of doom 00:48.420 --> 00:53.540 So there's a relatively good chance that artificial intelligence will bring us a Star Trek world 00:53.540 --> 00:57.020 What's really wonderful? But there's also a pretty good chance that it will get us all killed 00:57.900 --> 00:58.440 and 00:58.440 --> 01:02.920 P doom is your chance that P doom is basically defined as your 01:04.100 --> 01:09.600 Odds that you give that artificial intelligence will either wipe out humanity or at least civilization 01:10.240 --> 01:12.800 In in my lifetime or just in general 01:13.980 --> 01:19.300 I would say that's a fair number. Let's just stay within the next 40 years 40 years 01:19.980 --> 01:22.160 I'll say my P doom is zero 01:22.160 --> 01:25.080 All right, why I 01:26.720 --> 01:31.660 Did because I think humans will always be smarter than artificial intelligence 01:31.660 --> 01:37.560 And even if artificial intelligence got to the point where they seemed like it was cresting that 01:38.200 --> 01:40.840 We've still got the bombs, right? 01:41.720 --> 01:46.020 So we just put an end to artificial intelligence by blowing stuff up 01:46.680 --> 01:51.420 Hmm if that it if that blows humanity back to like the Copper Age 01:52.160 --> 01:57.680 Well, we're still surviving. I kind of for myself. I kind of agree with Richie 01:59.060 --> 02:04.660 I don't know 40 years isn't that long if you put a I if you put AI in one of these robot bodies 02:04.660 --> 02:06.980 You could you could run amok pretty bad 02:07.600 --> 02:10.300 But yeah, you could but a 50 cal. I mean come on 02:10.300 --> 02:17.320 But the thing that AI will never do that humans do is philosophize it will never have a it will never have a 02:17.320 --> 02:18.480 like a 02:19.100 --> 02:23.740 Spiritual emotional impetus for using it its vast amount of logic 02:24.720 --> 02:31.280 Sure, maybe and it's always gonna it's always gonna fall short of the ingenuity and craftiness of humans 02:32.140 --> 02:37.320 Right because of that and we've got the weapons. Yeah, right like, you know 02:37.920 --> 02:40.860 Just just as much as those big guns will take out 02:41.500 --> 02:44.440 Tanks and cars and helicopters and aeroplanes and whatever 02:45.160 --> 02:49.680 You know a walking T-1000 or whatever that terminator thing is stands no chance 02:50.820 --> 02:53.400 Well, yeah, but if it turns off the power grid 02:54.520 --> 02:56.760 The gun doesn't fire on power grid man 02:57.340 --> 03:02.140 Well, it's definitely work with like computers and okay power and stuff 03:02.780 --> 03:07.060 But I'm saying I think like it's not gonna be like a term terminator robot 03:07.060 --> 03:11.420 It would probably attack like the infrastructure of the stuff you use every day 03:11.420 --> 03:14.040 It probably mess with like the airplanes in the 03:14.520 --> 03:17.820 It could change the world quite a bit, but I don't think it could go 03:17.820 --> 03:24.540 I mean, maybe if it starts in Africa, I don't know people talk about like back to the Stone Age as if that's a horrible thing 03:24.540 --> 03:28.500 I don't know. I might be an okay vacation for me 03:29.180 --> 03:33.200 Well, yeah, I mean depend. I'm not I'm not sure survival thing 03:33.200 --> 03:39.500 I'm not so enamored of all the this this future tech like it's falling short on so many levels 03:39.500 --> 03:43.380 I was supposed to have a hoverboard by now and why don't cars fly? This is ridiculous 03:43.800 --> 03:46.500 You know what I mean, but what we're gonna have a digital idea 03:46.500 --> 03:50.540 That's on landing in the air and on the water like come on now 03:50.540 --> 03:53.520 You can you can track every single thing about me 03:53.520 --> 03:57.420 you got a computer that knows what I want more than I know what I want and 03:58.060 --> 04:02.400 You're telling me like we can't even have some nice things well for at least for the cars fly 04:02.400 --> 04:04.340 I'm gonna say government interference with that 04:04.340 --> 04:08.920 Because there's been there's been people who have done it and I think New Hampshire is like the only state 04:08.920 --> 04:13.260 Where it's legal to have a flying car when if and when it does come to pass well 04:13.260 --> 04:16.280 They have these things called ultralights that you can own right now 04:16.280 --> 04:23.540 Yeah, one person like quadcopter thing that you can fly. They're pretty limited. You wouldn't be able to use one for 04:24.360 --> 04:28.280 For a contractor gig. You couldn't haul your ladders with it. No, probably not 04:28.280 --> 04:30.840 Yeah, I think it has to be under 300 pounds, right 04:31.360 --> 04:35.800 Right, so you're not gonna fly your whole family in it and you know what I mean, like they're they're pretty limited 04:35.800 --> 04:40.700 They put the clamps on it pretty good. Well, I think that's just regulation. I think you can make a bigger one 04:40.700 --> 04:45.580 But you're just allowed to the government like we have flying cars. It's just yeah, it's just 04:45.580 --> 04:50.020 You give me the right equipment I can make a jumbo jet 04:51.520 --> 04:55.220 You know, I think the the was it the the 04:55.780 --> 04:59.720 Evils whatever vertical the vetoes the vertical takeoff and landing 04:59.720 --> 05:05.060 Yeah, so you can park it in your garage or on your street and just you know leave from there without needing a full runway 05:05.680 --> 05:06.540 It's useful 05:07.240 --> 05:08.000 That'd be cool 05:08.780 --> 05:15.560 They exist. Did I was there two of you on tonight or three three of us? Okay, so what's the third PDM? 05:16.960 --> 05:21.860 In the next 40 years, I'm with rich. I think it's gonna be zero now 05:21.860 --> 05:23.980 What do you mean like the end of humanity? 05:24.560 --> 05:30.840 Zero, but like the end of the radically changing how our day-to-day goes. I think the 05:31.400 --> 05:38.520 100% of the end of civilization knocking us back to the stone age would also count that would be a minimum condition for PDM 05:38.520 --> 05:38.920 I believe 05:40.660 --> 05:47.320 Bitcoin won't even be like really mainstream in 40 years. We'll still be fighting that battle. The thing is 40 years from now 05:47.320 --> 05:52.420 It wouldn't an AI would have no incentive to knock us back to the stone age because it would die 05:52.420 --> 05:54.760 It would it would lose all its power 05:55.560 --> 06:01.300 People you know with stone age brains can't run an AI like I guess you run itself 06:01.300 --> 06:05.520 Yeah, I guess you could have like self-replicating robots running the world 06:05.520 --> 06:10.020 But that's not exactly the stone age is something they have all together 06:10.020 --> 06:14.880 I trust human ingenuity and weapons still have tech available to you 06:14.880 --> 06:20.040 It's just a matter of would you be able to like get your hands on it and you don't I mean it wouldn't be 06:20.600 --> 06:27.700 Information that you now have to rediscover. Well really all we have to do with just dam a river a little bit higher than the data center 06:27.700 --> 06:33.400 And not let the data center get any water to cool itself off and it'll the AI'll just fry itself 06:33.900 --> 06:36.440 This is also New Hampshire. You can buy Tana right over the counter 06:38.080 --> 06:42.240 Well, I'm just like that robot really gonna get I'm thinking about these huge data centers 06:42.240 --> 06:49.660 They're building in places like Arizona, you know like these four or five football field-sized buildings that are just taking towns 06:49.660 --> 06:51.440 Like entire water supplies 06:52.280 --> 06:55.620 Run the cooling for these giant AI operating centers 06:55.620 --> 07:01.920 That's what I'm saying the water off they would they would have to go to like one of those vacant places and build their army first 07:02.820 --> 07:04.480 undetected like Dr. House 07:05.260 --> 07:11.320 No, it's a fallout thing. Okay, so I don't know if if you want to give the the sci-fi 07:11.840 --> 07:16.580 Scare tactic nerds full credit then you could go as far as saying they have 07:17.080 --> 07:23.080 They have nanobots now that can self-replicate and it wouldn't be it wouldn't be that far of a jump for them to 07:23.080 --> 07:28.180 to make self-replicating nanobots they can you know join together like a 07:28.180 --> 07:29.340 You know 07:29.960 --> 07:34.900 Some kind of we'll just have forever Trump president and then he'll just put a tariff on steel 07:34.900 --> 07:41.320 And then they can't replicate because they've got no materials to build their bodies out of the nanos can just mine it and smelt it themselves 07:42.160 --> 07:49.120 From where like like okay, so I yeah fine in some dystopian stories out of human bodies, okay 07:49.120 --> 07:53.640 But like like the humans wouldn't detect that it's at some level 07:54.280 --> 07:59.920 Yeah, like oh, what are these nanobots doing out in the Arizona desert? We got heat signatures. They're doing an awful lot 07:59.920 --> 08:04.140 It's already that they are like is detectable 08:04.140 --> 08:08.280 That's what humans either either just don't look at it or they don't care 08:08.280 --> 08:12.040 Because they're too basically watching the football game or whatever it is, okay 08:12.800 --> 08:15.560 We're talking the extinction level event someone's gonna point it out 08:15.560 --> 08:19.220 I'm like hey these robots. They're already talking about blocking out the Sun and stuff 08:19.220 --> 08:23.980 What you know like what do you want? They're already talking about doing the most humans 08:24.760 --> 08:28.600 Humans are talking about doing that right for climate change right? 08:28.840 --> 08:32.620 So if a robot starts doing you think people are gonna be inclined to stop the robot 08:32.620 --> 08:36.520 Oh, you think the humans are gonna take the robot side like we welcome our 08:38.820 --> 08:45.600 About it, okay, I think they're gonna sit there and do nothing about it till it's either too late or it looks like it's too late 08:46.060 --> 08:47.480 till things are quite a mess 08:48.540 --> 08:53.520 Fine like I said was at some point he gets to a point where people take notice to go like, okay 08:53.520 --> 08:54.540 We got to start shooting robots 08:55.660 --> 08:57.920 Then turn it into a game. Yeah 08:59.060 --> 09:05.220 So to both answer my own question and to argue with you guys and keep this interesting my freedom is 09:05.220 --> 09:09.180 30% which is considered moderate among 09:09.880 --> 09:12.100 people who follow AI and 09:13.160 --> 09:19.860 The reason it's is higher than yours is because I don't think you're factoring in the law of exponential returns 09:19.860 --> 09:23.080 and the the fact that these technologies mostly 09:23.740 --> 09:28.260 Double every year or two and so they they may not look very threatening 09:28.880 --> 09:31.900 Currently, but it doesn't really take long with exponential growth 09:32.500 --> 09:35.640 It really could happen as soon as two years from now 09:36.440 --> 09:40.000 Yeah, and I see that aspect of it too. So instead of rich 09:40.000 --> 09:45.840 I guess I don't exactly agree with rich. Yeah, I might put it in a very low percentage like one or two 09:45.840 --> 09:51.600 I mean you say that but they can't even get chips manufactured that quickly the brush 09:53.800 --> 09:55.260 Yeah about now 09:55.880 --> 09:59.480 Well, yeah, I'm thinking about now and knowing that they put it in order for chips 09:59.480 --> 10:02.760 That aren't even going to get delivered until like 20 27 10:02.760 --> 10:09.520 Yeah, but if the incentive changes then you could you could see a rapid turnaround in that where chip production 10:09.520 --> 10:15.140 You know, no because it takes multiple years just to build the factory. That's the problem with the Trump plan 10:15.140 --> 10:20.000 I've never seen a McDonald's go up. They do it. They do it in like six days 10:20.000 --> 10:24.440 That's a McDonald's they do it faster than I can remodel like one bedroom 10:25.200 --> 10:32.240 Okay, but the big problem that the Trump administration is having getting that type of technology here as quickly as he wants 10:32.240 --> 10:33.940 Is they just can't manufacture it quick enough 10:33.940 --> 10:40.180 They can't build the factories as quickly as he wants to move it from Taiwan or China or wherever they're doing it 10:40.180 --> 10:40.960 It's like 10:42.280 --> 10:43.460 Limitations bad at it 10:43.460 --> 10:48.680 They had to shut down Texas plants because we couldn't figure out the tolerances to build the chip 10:48.680 --> 10:53.180 They just gave up on the project. They were like, yeah, we can't do this. We got to stay in Taiwan 10:53.180 --> 10:53.500 we 10:54.760 --> 11:01.580 Americans just can't figure out how to build a computer that's smart enough to have no incentive any any of us who can do that or 11:01.580 --> 11:03.660 No longer in that type of work 11:04.600 --> 11:05.560 okay, the 11:06.100 --> 11:11.560 The the answer to your objections really to all the ones over the last couple minutes would 11:11.560 --> 11:14.340 Would probably be the fact that like if you look at what 11:14.340 --> 11:18.740 One of the Chinese companies was able to achieve when they were cut off and getting chips 11:18.740 --> 11:21.380 They just made everything more efficient and they did it 11:21.380 --> 11:28.200 They did it really fast. They did it really efficiently and they were right up in the top tiers almost immediately with these 11:28.820 --> 11:35.980 Efficiency changes they made so you don't it's not necessarily a matter of having the right number of chips or the right quality of chips 11:36.580 --> 11:40.080 That's right. You could turn a couple of dials and train chips out pretty easily 11:40.080 --> 11:44.300 I think they're not doing it. It's just a matter of where the incentive is what 11:44.900 --> 11:52.340 Exactly what the standards are on chip making like there's there are quite a few factors that that you could shift around and 11:52.340 --> 11:58.380 Change how fast sure made but but again like if you're calling it incentives money's the incentive, right? 11:58.420 --> 12:00.880 We talked about this I think on last week's show 12:00.880 --> 12:07.400 There's there's technology companies just moving out of certain sectors because they can't they can't meet demand 12:07.400 --> 12:12.300 All they'd have to do is make the narrative. Oh, no, we need chips or else humanity is gonna get erased 12:12.300 --> 12:16.780 But for whatever reason and then you'd see a lot of chips coming out 12:17.380 --> 12:19.180 But they could do that now and make money 12:19.180 --> 12:22.920 They can't be like the profit incentive would be there now 12:22.920 --> 12:26.980 Because supply is because demand is so high and they can't meet it 12:28.020 --> 12:30.980 Maybe it's not a money thing. It's like, oh, we'll charge you more. We'll get it done 12:30.980 --> 12:34.380 It's like no, we just can't do it as Angelo just said, you know 12:34.380 --> 12:37.320 The the skills aren't there the technology is not there 12:37.320 --> 12:42.280 The companies are backing off as opposed to raising prices because they just can't 12:42.300 --> 12:44.440 Physically meet demand under current conditions 12:45.040 --> 12:45.540 and 12:45.540 --> 12:51.520 Again, if you think like they're gonna throw up a factory in less than a year and double capacity like, you know 12:51.520 --> 12:58.320 They're I think there's folly in that thinking based on again the skill set and the technology and the equipment needed to get to that point 12:58.320 --> 13:00.760 I was self replicating nanobots just 13:01.620 --> 13:05.520 Turned into a little factory builders and could build a new factory every week 13:05.520 --> 13:07.400 But they gotta get the raw materials man 13:08.480 --> 13:12.880 Yeah, yeah, I know this is all science fiction and speculation at this point, but 13:13.620 --> 13:20.440 But lots of science fiction things price of steel goes through the roof because nanobots are stealing it all to real-life realities 13:20.440 --> 13:26.900 Like, you know smartphones would have been I don't think I don't think this is science fiction a Dave though 13:27.640 --> 13:30.120 Like this is a concern of going into the future 13:31.060 --> 13:34.140 Yeah, it's not so far off science fiction though 13:34.980 --> 13:37.800 Yeah, and if you don't trust my numbers 13:38.520 --> 13:43.140 Then you don't have to I would recommend going to doom debates calm 13:43.140 --> 13:49.480 where you'll listen to people who who agree with you and the people who agree with me they debate each other and 13:50.040 --> 13:53.640 Just hear them all out. I think that's the way to do it and 13:54.300 --> 13:58.460 The more I hear the higher my p-doom goes, okay 13:59.260 --> 14:02.940 I'm obviously not gonna do that because I've got better things to do with my time 14:02.940 --> 14:08.420 But if it gets to that point, right, I'm just gonna stock up on ammunition and plink them off as they enter the property 14:10.940 --> 14:12.320 Yeah, it's not gonna work like that 14:13.320 --> 14:14.040 You think 14:14.840 --> 14:17.840 Yeah, some of these robot dogs might be kind of have you 14:17.840 --> 14:24.600 Have you watched any of the Ukraine drone footage that of the FPV drones hiding people down in trenches? 14:25.300 --> 14:30.980 Have you like seen any of that how they're fighting with the drug that is horrifying? I don't know that's human operated 14:31.500 --> 14:32.920 You know for now 14:33.580 --> 14:35.500 Okay, they could automate that 14:36.120 --> 14:39.200 And in fact, I think they have automated it in certain places 14:40.040 --> 14:45.640 Okay, so we're not talking about like killer robots basically. Yeah flying killer robots 14:46.660 --> 14:54.680 Flying killer nano robots. Well, I know for sure for at least a decade. They had they had some of those dog robots that 14:55.460 --> 14:57.240 they put on an autonomous 14:58.240 --> 15:00.040 algorithmic program to guard the 15:00.560 --> 15:04.180 The what do they call that section between North and South Korea? 15:06.120 --> 15:10.180 Yeah, and there were these robot dogs just walking around with a rifle that could like 15:10.180 --> 15:14.100 They were just insanely accurate and they'd shoot anything that moved 15:14.100 --> 15:16.360 Yeah, again, I get it 15:16.360 --> 15:19.320 But the like you're talking about going to take the fight to them 15:19.320 --> 15:26.180 And I'm saying if you can get close to the to the demilitarized zone with a rifle that's scoped longer than you know 15:26.180 --> 15:33.700 The robot scope. Yeah, just shoot the robot. Yeah, right. The reason it works now is because no one's trying to attack the demilitarized zone 15:35.080 --> 15:39.940 Yeah, you don't think humans could overthrow the demilitarized zone with with a concerted effort of like 15:40.840 --> 15:43.160 Mobilized troops. I'm sure they could okay 15:44.280 --> 15:46.380 All right. You got anything else Dave? 15:47.260 --> 15:49.640 Nothing to add. Thanks guys. Yeah, thanks for the call 15:51.400 --> 15:54.740 Libertarian to live in the woods in New Hampshire. Yeah, I'm not too worried about it 15:54.740 --> 15:58.200 I think it's fun thought experiment though and it's good to 15:59.280 --> 16:02.340 You know have at least have some thoughts about it 16:02.340 --> 16:08.180 So so that if it worse does come to worse at least you're ready to grab your gun and shoot at the robots or whatever 16:09.960 --> 16:13.420 Or you could just write a fun book about it. I don't know use it for 16:13.940 --> 16:19.720 Use it as like a starting point to jump off into like a creative like a story driven kind of thing 16:19.720 --> 16:23.740 I think that's fun like a term like I don't know maybe they've already done it with Terminator 16:23.740 --> 16:28.560 But like a rogue AI, there's a lot of stuff you can do which is that concept alone 16:28.560 --> 16:31.300 I'll also suggest with your drone footage 16:32.520 --> 16:36.540 Like those drones are using military technology that most 16:37.060 --> 16:41.980 Civilians don't have access to and I can assure you in the event of like a robot takeover 16:41.980 --> 16:44.480 We would quickly get access to that type of stuff 16:44.480 --> 16:50.120 Right, that'd be there'd be no like oh, it's redacted and only we can have it right like well 16:50.120 --> 16:52.740 It's not super redacted. They just put a C4 charge on a 16:53.820 --> 16:56.080 $40 Timu drone and fly it at your face 16:57.600 --> 17:02.980 Okay, but again if it's automated right like you can then you can do that, too 17:03.660 --> 17:08.940 Yeah, I guess so it'd just be like robot wars. You just fight whatever robots versus robots at that flight 17:08.940 --> 17:12.180 If you can get access to a Timu drone and C4, right? 17:12.340 --> 17:16.060 That is your aim better. Can you get that up to their drone close enough to blow it out of the sky? 17:16.700 --> 17:17.100 probably 17:18.540 --> 17:22.860 Probably they're targeting software and all that's gonna be better, but you know if you got 17:23.360 --> 17:28.440 No, well, it's not equal footing or it's not equal footing, right? They're using Timu drones with C4 17:28.440 --> 17:32.320 You we don't know if you I don't know if a human pilot's gonna be able to 17:32.320 --> 17:39.380 Do the same things that a that a computer's gonna be able to pull off. Yeah, I kind of you don't have to get 17:39.380 --> 17:45.460 It's an explosive. You don't have to get that close like a whole kamikaze swarm of little $40 drones 17:45.460 --> 17:46.080 You could 17:47.000 --> 17:52.180 You could do that. Is it worth your life to spend a little bit extra on it? You know on a couple extra drones 17:53.660 --> 17:59.740 You and your neighbors compile that amount of technology and and money together probably a C4 easy to get 17:59.740 --> 18:05.020 Whatever, I mean they've got enough drones that never try they've got enough drones to like 18:05.860 --> 18:07.860 Recreate firework shows impressively 18:08.640 --> 18:10.600 Right, so you send up a fireworks 18:12.040 --> 18:16.240 Battalion right of like how many hundreds of little drones with how much C4 you want on it 18:17.340 --> 18:19.460 Against however many drones they got up there 18:20.240 --> 18:22.660 Yeah, maybe I don't know those things can 18:23.300 --> 18:28.360 Target you from extreme heights though and sure but again, it's the equal footing or it's not either 18:28.360 --> 18:32.780 We have the technology to get up there or we will acquire the technology to get up there 18:33.280 --> 18:39.480 Because it will no longer be exclusively military military technology. Yeah, okay 18:41.720 --> 18:48.460 Well, what if the AI pays off the military, but hey you can stick around guys. We'll just kill all the all the pores 18:49.720 --> 18:56.280 Well, then fine, right then then who's fighting where because then you go someplace where it's a little bit more difficult, right? 18:56.360 --> 19:00.940 The militaries always have trouble with mountainous terrain, right or cold terrain or whatever 19:00.940 --> 19:03.540 So go go hold up there and fight from there 19:05.300 --> 19:06.380 Yeah, that is 19:07.220 --> 19:12.960 That's that's the line of thinking that gets me to where I don't think this is that big of a threat because 19:13.700 --> 19:16.460 People go hide out in the caves that like they'll find 19:16.460 --> 19:23.540 They'll find out where the weak point is for the AI army and they'll exploit it and you know, yeah 19:23.540 --> 19:25.480 Humanity will emerge victorious 19:26.240 --> 19:27.440 As it always does 19:29.120 --> 19:30.160 Yes, yes 19:30.160 --> 19:34.140 All right, I got this story from 19:35.200 --> 19:42.580 Activist post reputable news source Americans charged one billion dollars to buy now pay later platforms over black Friday 19:44.860 --> 19:51.640 Man, I've got I've got a stack of video games from black Friday and that's sort of shopping period 19:51.640 --> 19:55.760 Yeah, like I'm set until next black Friday.

You're paying the delivery fee 27:06.500 --> 27:08.860 Yeah, well, that's what they do 27:08.860 --> 27:11.820 They're going into debt for services like this 27:11.820 --> 27:16.800 I wouldn't say maybe they're putting a bunch of stuff on like to buy now play pay later with their like groceries 27:16.800 --> 27:18.460 But a lot of the gen zers 27:19.060 --> 27:24.920 Or gen a or what like the people doing this they're buying like door dash and putting it on carna. It's like they're they're buying 27:25.640 --> 27:26.080 luxury 27:27.460 --> 27:30.740 Items that they're calling necessities. Okay 27:33.220 --> 27:35.440 The private debt crisis coupled with 27:35.920 --> 27:41.580 A consumer based economy is a recipe for disaster Americans follow the age-old thinking of 27:42.100 --> 27:47.540 By by now if it will cost more tomorrow during black friday and cyber cyber monday sales 27:48.340 --> 27:50.620 Leading to the strongest year of sales on record 27:51.300 --> 27:52.140 depends on the deal 27:52.980 --> 27:57.340 Right if like if you know if the deal is better than the interest payments, you gotta pull the trigger 27:57.900 --> 28:01.460 Yeah, yeah people do the calculations and what happened to lay away 28:02.100 --> 28:06.200 Well, why don't why don't isn't that wasn't that the whole point of laying stuff away for christmas? 28:06.280 --> 28:08.600 Was that you were kind of like getting it? 28:09.280 --> 28:13.960 Like set aside for you and you paid it off without interest and then when it comes around you 28:13.960 --> 28:18.020 You can just pick up your items before the but that's like credit cards. That's like, uh 28:18.600 --> 28:23.000 That's in reverse though. That's pay up front, right? So you come in and make your payments 28:23.440 --> 28:27.880 Until it's paid off and then you get the thing wouldn't that be the smarter play though for people? 28:27.880 --> 28:28.600 Absolutely 28:29.600 --> 28:33.820 I'm just saying especially for like christmas shopping or i remember lay away. It was like on commercial 28:33.820 --> 28:37.700 Come lay away with us and have your christmas stuff ready by christmas 28:37.700 --> 28:40.920 And again that's before the the preponderance and the ubiquitousness of credit cards 28:40.920 --> 28:47.760 Like you know you had to do that when you couldn't just apply for a visa or mastercard and get a dozen credit cards 28:47.760 --> 28:51.700 That's when like the store had their own store credit system if you were lucky 28:51.700 --> 28:55.260 Or the only thing around was like american express and diners club 28:56.000 --> 28:59.800 Hmm like it's it's the model has changed because everyone has a credit card 28:59.800 --> 29:03.620 Do you think is that because it makes more money through the credit system by people in the debt 29:03.620 --> 29:06.080 Because it puts people in debt and you bang them on the interest 29:06.620 --> 29:10.260 Yeah, right even like the some somewhere in my lifetime 29:11.040 --> 29:12.680 Buying a car has changed 29:13.180 --> 29:16.560 Right, but at one point in time it's like oh man if you had cash for the car 29:16.560 --> 29:18.560 The dealership wanted your business 29:18.560 --> 29:21.540 Like oh because they they knew that they were going to get the money up front 29:22.040 --> 29:23.700 Car you pay cash you get the car 29:23.700 --> 29:25.520 Like deals done and they're satisfied 29:26.180 --> 29:32.520 And somewhere recently they're like no they want to put you on financing because they they count on the income of the interest payments 29:32.520 --> 29:39.400 Yeah, they get kickbacks right from like your especially if you go through like their lender. Yeah through the dealership the interest payments 29:39.400 --> 29:43.960 Yeah, they hate it when if you come in pre qualified like with a look at us a loan 29:44.560 --> 29:50.120 Um or whatever the banks love lending you money because they don't have to have the money 29:50.120 --> 29:53.000 They lend you they get to make that up on the spot 29:53.560 --> 29:57.720 And so that's money also that money creation and that's absolutely there 29:57.720 --> 30:02.640 They're bread and butter right, but that's I mean that is that's why you don't need to lay anything away anymore 30:02.640 --> 30:06.520 Like you just you pay it off at your pace and then you get it today 30:06.520 --> 30:11.120 So it's immediate gratification right for the future payments that lay away was the thing of uh 30:11.120 --> 30:15.720 Delayed gratification people time time's gone when people were more physically 30:16.520 --> 30:21.820 Responsible, I mean I love I use I use lay away. I've used lay away multiple times lay away guns, dude 30:21.820 --> 30:26.360 That's the best like a two thousand dollar rifle. You lay it away for six months 30:26.920 --> 30:30.700 You know that's it's coming you're gonna have to wait for the background check anyways 30:30.700 --> 30:32.280 You might as well just lay it away 30:32.280 --> 30:36.200 Sure, but do you do you think that if you had just put that money into a savings account 30:36.720 --> 30:39.760 That the rifle wouldn't be available to you six months from now 30:40.260 --> 30:44.940 Um, I mean I did a lot of it during like the middle of covet. So I mean those guns would 30:44.940 --> 30:48.620 You know come back in six months now that gun is twenty five hundred dollars 30:48.620 --> 30:53.560 But if I would have laid it away at two grand right, that's gonna steep be locked in at that price 30:53.560 --> 30:57.500 Okay, yeah, and that's a big part of the calculation people do when they 30:57.900 --> 30:59.460 Make these kinds of decisions 30:59.460 --> 31:02.500 But now you put on a credit card for two grand and then you just pay it off in the interest 31:02.500 --> 31:04.520 And is that more than the five hundred dollars or not? 31:05.940 --> 31:07.380 That's all I guess true, huh? 31:07.720 --> 31:13.920 Back to the article the problem is that a large percentage of buyers opted to pay later through buy now pay later 31:14.560 --> 31:21.020 BNPL payment plans, which are contributing to national nationwide household debt levels 31:21.620 --> 31:30.160 Over one billion in sales over black friday cyber monday was charged through bnpl platforms a 4.2 percent 31:30.720 --> 31:38.420 Um yearly increase year over year increase. So why oh why is sure according to shopping data from adobe 31:38.420 --> 31:44.800 Which predicts total bnpl spending which will reach 20.2 billion by the end of the holiday season 31:45.560 --> 31:49.240 I'll also say it like if you know what you're doing if you're financially responsible 31:49.820 --> 31:51.560 Right having a good credit card 31:52.100 --> 31:53.980 Also saves you money in the long run 31:54.580 --> 31:58.720 Because you'll earn points toward the purchases, right? So if you can earn points 31:58.720 --> 32:04.760 Towards future purchases or get cash back and pay zero interest, right then you're ahead of the game 32:05.420 --> 32:13.220 Yeah, there's um if you do it smart you can you can work the credit card thing to your advantage without getting in too much trouble 32:13.720 --> 32:19.440 Problem is most people just you know, they just spend them up with no plan to pay it back. Yes. Most people yes 32:19.980 --> 32:24.220 But you know like wealthy people people with high financial literacy 32:24.820 --> 32:29.880 Absolutely use debt to their advantage. Oh, yeah. Well and some people just don't care, right? 32:29.880 --> 32:33.480 They'll just run up the $20,000 six $20,000 credit cards 32:34.480 --> 32:39.800 And have nothing to show for it at the end of it all and so when people come like we're gonna sue you for what? 32:39.980 --> 32:41.720 Dude, I have no I have nothing 32:42.160 --> 32:45.040 You're the one who gave me the credit cards. I know a lot of poor people 32:45.040 --> 32:51.200 That's like their mode is operandi is they just keep applying for credit cards and people keep giving them money and 32:51.620 --> 32:54.940 They'll go 20 30 years and they don't pay any of it back. They just 32:55.620 --> 32:57.740 Uh, they just keep spending other people's money 32:57.740 --> 32:59.940 And I don't know why credit card companies don't 32:59.940 --> 33:06.580 Stop signing them up for credit. Well, they do but you gotta wait like I don't know a certain amount of time seven years or something 33:06.580 --> 33:08.280 And then they'll totally fall for it again 33:08.860 --> 33:11.560 My mom once said if if I die 33:12.260 --> 33:13.900 And I owe people money 33:14.600 --> 33:17.860 Good for me if I die and I don't owe people money good for them 33:19.240 --> 33:20.000 That's smart 33:21.100 --> 33:28.220 BNPL offers interest free installment payment options and is listed as a payment option during most online checkouts 33:28.800 --> 33:30.400 BNPL loans grew from 33:30.400 --> 33:37.720 16.8 million in 2019 to 180 million in 2021 for a total of two billion 33:38.260 --> 33:45.800 By 2022 popularity grew and nearly a quarter of us consumers reported using BNPL for a charge 33:46.420 --> 33:47.200 those with 33:47.940 --> 33:50.920 Subprime credit are more likely to use this option 33:51.440 --> 33:56.320 The younger generations who favor mobile purchases are also far more likely to use this option 33:56.320 --> 34:03.040 As they may not have a credit card worse BNPL provides an illusion of stronger purchasing power 34:03.760 --> 34:05.540 Yeah, because again you get the stuff today 34:06.200 --> 34:10.980 You're like, ah, yes this hundred dollar pay this hundred dollar item only cost me 20 bucks 34:11.600 --> 34:13.360 Right for like the next five months 34:14.080 --> 34:15.240 Mm-hmm 34:15.240 --> 34:19.480 Then you get hit with it three months like oh man, where'd that 20 bucks go? Oh, yeah that thing I bought 34:20.070 --> 34:20.920 two months ago 34:21.740 --> 34:22.820 Son of a gun 34:23.660 --> 34:28.760 About 41 percent of BNPL users were unable to make payments on time 34:29.470 --> 34:34.640 Up from 34 percent and 60 percent of users hold multiple loans 34:35.110 --> 34:39.500 These purchases are generally not big not for big big ticket items 34:39.500 --> 34:43.880 In fact, the average loan is 142 dollars per transaction 34:44.640 --> 34:52.080 Apparel clothing shoes and accessories account for up to 45 percent of all BNPL orders luxury items of corn angela 34:55.140 --> 34:58.160 Nike's on a loan dude, like that's you're an idiot 34:58.660 --> 35:04.000 Right, I think like we're gonna buy now pay later for a plastic shoe 35:04.000 --> 35:06.740 That's made in the sweatshop that you can get 35:07.240 --> 35:11.220 If you're gonna wear it or for it's an investment thing because you're gonna go to the next like shoe 35:11.220 --> 35:17.980 Well, but then you're scalping that doesn't sound like you're then you're just scalping and you're gonna buy now pay later for your scalping endeavor 35:17.980 --> 35:21.000 I don't know if you're like the best the thing is about shoes 35:21.000 --> 35:26.580 The 30 dollar shoes last as long as the 60 dollar shoes, but if you buy the 120 dollar shoes, they last 35:27.380 --> 35:31.320 They last double the value amount of the 30 or 60 dollar shoes 35:31.320 --> 35:35.540 So you think a hundred and twenty dollar pair of jordan's last longer than the 60 dollar pair of nikes 35:35.540 --> 35:39.360 It doesn't matter if they last longer. Well, I don't know maybe you buy the 35:40.200 --> 35:45.740 Factory man, you just put a somebody else's name on it now. It's three times. You're not getting three times the quality 35:45.740 --> 35:47.000 I can guarantee you that 35:51.500 --> 35:55.200 You sit on it in 20s crazy. They're like you're looking at 354 35:55.200 --> 35:59.240 Okay, fine three whatever it is you sit on it for a year or two you go to the shoe expo now 35:59.240 --> 36:00.140 It's up to two grand 36:00.140 --> 36:05.520 I think about one pair of nice nikes ever and I wasn't that impressed and I just never did it again 36:05.520 --> 36:09.620 Oh because they're playing they fall apart. They're not great shoes. No, they didn't they actually didn't 36:09.620 --> 36:15.240 You're missing out the the night I but the a pair of nike air max was the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn in my life 36:15.240 --> 36:19.760 You think so I like I got a wide foot though and nikes. They've run pretty 36:19.760 --> 36:23.560 I like the ones the the jordan ones are okay because they're a little bit wider 36:24.140 --> 36:30.240 But they're running shoe style. I haven't been a huge fan of I was I was doing door to door sales 36:30.240 --> 36:34.760 So I went through shoes and the boss bought me a pair and one of the other top sales guy pair 36:35.200 --> 36:38.080 Because it was a pair he wore like he's like rich trading shoes 36:38.680 --> 36:42.020 And so we traded shoes for the end. I wore his air max like oh, yeah, these are good 36:42.020 --> 36:45.720 He's like, yeah, give him back like you're suck give him give my shoes back 36:45.720 --> 36:47.480 I'll tell you I'll buy you guys a pair 36:47.480 --> 36:52.840 And the wall the walmart shoes will destroy your feet. Yeah, the walmart shoes are awful 36:52.840 --> 36:58.560 But I mean you can go to the outlet store and buy like these shoes for not 300 dollars 36:59.260 --> 36:59.900 Yeah 37:00.700 --> 37:02.200 So 45 percent 37:03.020 --> 37:08.720 Accounts for just you know clothing and shoes followed by electronics at 30 percent 37:09.260 --> 37:14.660 There has been a rising concern in consumers using this method for essentials like grocery 37:14.660 --> 37:20.120 A massive red flag for the economy. Yeah, that's the more concerned as you mentioned before. That's right 37:20.800 --> 37:26.160 Total u.s. Household debt hit a record 18.585 trillion 37:26.160 --> 37:26.400 in 37:28.820 --> 37:29.540 Q3 37:30.200 --> 37:30.560 2025 37:31.420 --> 37:36.180 Yeah, household debt is at 18 and a half trillion dollars 37:36.940 --> 37:42.600 I guess yeah, I guess it would be up from 18.39 trillion in q2 37:43.360 --> 37:48.940 The average debt per consumer stands at around a hard and 105 thousand 37:50.080 --> 37:53.720 That's absurd to be per the new york fed's household debt 37:53.720 --> 37:56.800 Like there are some millionaires like really helping me with my average 37:56.800 --> 38:00.560 Well, there's house loans and stuff too, right? Sure 38:00.560 --> 38:05.960 But I was thinking look at the average homeless guy and you're like, yeah, he's 105 thousand dollars in debt 38:05.960 --> 38:08.200 Like on average every person in america 38:08.860 --> 38:12.540 That's just someone's in a lot of debt. Yeah to make that the average 38:12.540 --> 38:16.660 I think uh the last time I heard this statistic. It was only like 20,000 38:16.660 --> 38:18.860 Okay, so that's uh 38:19.400 --> 38:22.700 That's reasonable. That was a while ago too. Does that include student loans? 38:22.700 --> 38:23.960 Or that's just consumer debt 38:24.940 --> 38:25.420 Um 38:25.420 --> 38:31.600 Because I would think they would be a lot higher with with student loans built in there. It says total u.s. Household debt 38:31.600 --> 38:32.760 Okay, whatever 38:33.800 --> 38:37.840 And then it and then it breaks it down debt per consumer. So 38:38.460 --> 38:40.260 All right, not debt per person 38:40.900 --> 38:44.900 So I guess per person it might be, you know, that would obviously be a lower number 38:44.900 --> 38:50.540 This is not everybody a consumer or how do they where do they children? Yeah babies aren't consumers. Oh, okay 38:50.540 --> 38:55.080 They're not counted people on people on disability. I think they don't count as consumers and 38:55.080 --> 38:57.200 I'm not sure how they figure it out, but 38:57.740 --> 38:59.100 Not everybody is a consumer 39:00.500 --> 39:03.900 You have to be you have to be earning money to be able to consume stuff 39:03.900 --> 39:07.360 If you're not contributing to that part of society that you're 39:07.880 --> 39:13.840 Consuming stuff. I don't know. I feel like if you're taking resources out of the out of the loop you are consuming 39:14.740 --> 39:16.700 Well, yeah, but a kid doesn't have a job 39:16.700 --> 39:20.540 They might be consuming the resources, but the parents the consumer because they're the ones going to the store 39:20.540 --> 39:25.660 Yeah, it says here around 70 70 percent of that debt 39:25.660 --> 39:29.640 13.07 2 trillion is tied up in mortgages 39:30.140 --> 39:32.600 Okay, so yeah a big chunk of that is 39:33.080 --> 39:35.240 um, so there's only five 39:36.140 --> 39:42.660 Five and a half trillion that's not mortgages out of that huge 18 and a half trillion still a lot still in the trillions 39:43.440 --> 39:47.100 Yeah, trillions a big number trillion is a big big number 39:48.580 --> 39:52.500 Yet American consumers are taking on more debt than necessary 39:53.660 --> 40:00.060 Or sustainable and holiday spending you using pay later options are a negative indication of what's ahead 40:01.280 --> 40:05.160 I was just thinking earlier today. I was like, how rich do you have to be to like put up Christmas lights? 40:06.760 --> 40:11.480 Just like just a net drain on your electric bill for no other reason to look cool in the neighborhood 40:11.480 --> 40:17.840 Um, I mean my great grandpa did it and he with his retirement from the air force and then his wife's I guess 40:17.840 --> 40:19.500 Let's say they made together 40:20.820 --> 40:21.560 seven to 40:22.200 --> 40:27.300 10 grand a month between those two and they put up Christmas lights. I put them up every year 40:27.300 --> 40:28.020 Okay 40:28.020 --> 40:33.120 I feel I feel well. I also feel like their electric bill is a lot lower back then I'm talking about today 40:33.120 --> 40:39.060 Well, I mean, I mean the last time I did that was 2020. I guess like I mean they just like uh 40:39.060 --> 40:41.820 Hang some Christmas lights and watch your electric bill double 40:43.700 --> 40:49.600 They've probably come out with like consumer friendly ones at this point like leds that don't consume as much power 40:49.600 --> 40:55.740 You're not using the air decim bulbs. They're all led now. Are they all leds? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean I 40:55.740 --> 41:00.540 I replaced my glass ones with leds in like 2016 17 41:01.400 --> 41:06.080 I just don't want I just don't need my electric bill going anymore and Christmas lights like forget about it 41:06.080 --> 41:08.520 I just don't think I don't think you're consuming as much 41:09.060 --> 41:13.020 There's definitely not consuming as much with the led led bulbs. All right 41:14.100 --> 41:19.620 Um, and I like like strip lighting. I mean strip lighting has become so much popular like for your room 41:19.620 --> 41:23.760 I know so many people who put like the led they're pretty much Christmas lights 41:23.760 --> 41:28.920 Like all over their setup like with their laptop desk or okay like their gaming setup 41:28.920 --> 41:32.260 And if it was such a power drain, I don't think people would be putting all these 41:32.820 --> 41:37.960 These well, we just talked about people going into debt for consumer goods. I think they absolutely would 41:38.680 --> 41:41.440 Go and pay for all these electric electric 41:41.440 --> 41:44.960 I don't think the ai is great for everything but 41:45.560 --> 41:52.980 According to it, uh, you're not going to spend over a hundred dollars a month for like a very large display with incandescent bulbs 41:53.640 --> 41:58.500 Whereas if you got a small display with leds, you're going to raise it by a couple of bucks 41:59.040 --> 42:02.180 But you said the iridescence was a hundred dollars extra a month 42:02.800 --> 42:03.160 To 42:04.980 --> 42:10.940 My electric bill for like a one bedroom apartment's 150 if I if I was spending an extra hundred bucks a month on electricity alone 42:10.940 --> 42:16.460 Be pissed. How are you gonna fit a how are you gonna fit a hundred dollars worth of Christmas lights on your one bedroom apartment porch? 42:17.240 --> 42:20.060 Because you go you wrap it around the windows and you wrap it around the side of things 42:20.420 --> 42:21.860 There's no way you're one bedroom 42:21.860 --> 42:26.740 Even if you put it around your window, you're not going to have enough room to put up a hundred dollars worth of electricity 42:27.160 --> 42:28.680 Yeah, that 150 is doing 42:29.180 --> 42:34.280 That's like a four-bedroom. That's like a that's like a home alone house. I don't know about that 42:34.980 --> 42:36.220 Yeah, depends where you're at 42:36.220 --> 42:39.500 I think you could run your Christmas lights for like three months and 42:39.880 --> 42:46.120 For uh, the same amount of time you or the same amount of power that take takes to run your microwave for a half an hour 42:47.060 --> 42:48.460 That's that sounds unbelievable 42:49.040 --> 42:50.200 But all right 42:50.200 --> 42:56.720 I don't know not with the leds. I mean like tv's and like even your friend runs at like $14 in power a year to run these 42:57.280 --> 43:00.020 Things that used to draw a ton of power. Okay 43:01.220 --> 43:01.660 No 43:03.540 --> 43:05.460 Anyways, just seems like a big old waste 43:05.980 --> 43:07.200 Yeah, I don't know 43:07.200 --> 43:10.880 I don't think it's that expensive 43:10.880 --> 43:15.500 I'd be more worried about how much time I put into it and then what's my time worth and then that's where the 43:15.500 --> 43:19.340 The real loss comes in but but you know for people who really 43:19.340 --> 43:22.020 Enjoy that kind of thing. I don't 43:22.820 --> 43:25.020 All right, I'm sure it's a winning game for them 43:25.780 --> 43:30.540 Well, and some it's a financial loss. They just like it. Yeah, he just liked it. Well, you were tired 43:30.540 --> 43:36.760 Dude, he any for financially stable like who are you know what I mean? Like that's your it's your yard 43:36.760 --> 43:40.980 Yeah, no, I get it. We all buy things that aren't going to get us ahead. We just like them 43:41.560 --> 43:45.520 Yeah, and that's why the country is you know, 13 trillion dollars in debt 43:45.520 --> 43:51.460 Well, but if you're financially literate, maybe maybe the uh, the the cheer of your lights 43:52.260 --> 43:58.100 Uh outweighs the debt you're going to go into the point of the article is that we're not as aggregate in aggregate 43:58.100 --> 43:59.780 We are not financially literate 43:59.780 --> 44:06.620 Well, and it seems like there's less Christmas lights than there have been in previous years probably because people are tired of spending money on 44:07.340 --> 44:12.620 Decorations and lights when they can barely when they're putting their food purchase on paid by now pay later 44:12.620 --> 44:14.580 I'm sure that's the least part of it. Yeah 44:16.020 --> 44:20.620 So it's a it's an illustration of a little bit of response financial responsibility, I guess 44:21.460 --> 44:22.500 If you're seeing less 44:23.320 --> 44:26.580 Only in the retirement community where they got their pension paying for it 44:27.220 --> 44:32.300 Which is way higher than anybody thing anybody else is making it. I will go look at their houses and go. Ooh 44:32.300 --> 44:37.700 Uh, that is pretty how great it is to put them up. Yeah, go to their house and look at it 44:37.700 --> 44:39.000 No need to decorate your own 44:40.040 --> 44:43.060 Yeah, I I appreciate a well decorated house 44:43.060 --> 44:48.360 I don't want to do that kind of work and I don't know if I would find it annoying to have to sit inside of that house 44:48.900 --> 44:49.520 but um 44:50.120 --> 44:54.400 Because they're all happy and cheery all the time. No just because of the amount of light 44:55.320 --> 44:57.140 Mariah carry on share the light pollution 44:58.220 --> 45:01.780 My house had two fir trees that kind of sat in front of our front porch 45:01.780 --> 45:06.540 They kind of obscured the front porch from the road and we our trick was is we just left the lights 45:06.540 --> 45:11.580 It there all year round and then yeah like left them up and then plugged them in during like when 45:12.180 --> 45:15.180 Christmas came and if the like if our string was broken 45:15.180 --> 45:18.900 I'd go in there and take out the one string that was shorted replace it 45:18.900 --> 45:22.300 And we just leave the lights in there all year round. So it wasn't like a ton of effort 45:22.700 --> 45:25.340 But it was just it's you know always pretty much ready to go 45:25.340 --> 45:28.640 You got to run like three sets of lights in there so you can do like halloween 45:29.260 --> 45:30.940 Thanksgiving lights christmas lights 45:31.420 --> 45:33.680 Just plug in different ones for a different time of the year 45:34.420 --> 45:36.860 I'm gonna probably keep redoing that. That could have been a good idea 45:37.900 --> 45:42.500 You're probably just use the smart light strings now and change the colors because they're all LEDs. Yeah 45:42.500 --> 45:44.800 Oh, we just programmed this for more computer 45:45.560 --> 45:46.360 running Linux 45:48.300 --> 45:50.360 Linux ran Christmas display 45:51.100 --> 45:52.740 Mr. Penguin would lose his mind 45:53.280 --> 45:54.820 Set up on a raspberry pi 45:56.660 --> 46:00.640 I do like raspberry pies. I've got several of those. I haven't done anything with it in a while, but 46:00.640 --> 46:07.000 Yeah, that's every once in a while. I've never actually played with one, but I've heard of the things they can do and that's cool. Yeah 46:07.740 --> 46:08.140 um 46:08.860 --> 46:12.840 Richard you brought in a story about somebody suing the 46:13.500 --> 46:15.580 irs.

They'll they'll they'll zap you and then mail you the ticket 59:50.350 --> 59:52.210 I mean, they're not pulling you over obviously 59:53.130 --> 59:54.150 Wow, I 59:54.150 --> 59:58.330 Yeah, I guess I didn't even think all the trailers I usually see are just like 59:58.930 --> 01:00:02.590 An extra thing they put out to like scare people to slow down 01:00:02.590 --> 01:00:04.650 Depends if it has the camera on the speed camera 01:00:05.390 --> 01:00:07.870 I don't think I've paid enough attention to them.

They've always had eight speeding fans like you'll call them trailers 01:00:20.070 --> 01:00:24.190 So it it's just a vehicle. So they are mobile 01:00:24.910 --> 01:00:26.670 so then those tickets 01:00:27.530 --> 01:00:34.130 They're serious that when they issue out a ticket, they want payments. It's not like we just have it as a dummy 01:00:35.030 --> 01:00:35.590 um 01:00:36.230 --> 01:00:36.790 so 01:00:37.590 --> 01:00:43.790 So um, so but what they do is they're going to get rid of the fans and they're going to have um a speeding 01:00:43.790 --> 01:00:46.530 A smaller speeding camera, but they're mobile 01:00:47.150 --> 01:00:50.970 So I was just like how is that how is that possible? 01:00:51.510 --> 01:00:55.570 Because our speeding cameras are like tied permanently permanently 01:00:56.150 --> 01:00:59.790 To our poles our light poles. Didn't you hear about the nano bots? 01:01:01.350 --> 01:01:05.590 They could just have speeding camera drones. I don't know why they haven't already done it. They do 01:01:06.170 --> 01:01:11.030 They do speed enforced by uh aircraft. Yeah, I've seen the drone 01:01:11.030 --> 01:01:19.170 Uh, this is in oregon. It's in a it's a stretch of highway between or the organ in california border right on i5 01:01:19.670 --> 01:01:21.630 And it says speed patrolled by aircraft 01:01:22.290 --> 01:01:27.390 Yeah, um, and I know i've seen the drone hovering above the highway 01:01:27.390 --> 01:01:33.650 And it will dispatch an oregon state trooper. It'll catch you speeding and then send the car after you 01:01:33.650 --> 01:01:34.730 So you'll get pulled over 01:01:35.550 --> 01:01:37.770 Down the highway and the cop pulls you over 01:01:37.770 --> 01:01:43.710 Well, yeah our drone caught you about five miles back doing 85 and a 60 you want to explain that and you 01:01:43.710 --> 01:01:46.990 Yeah, I'll explain it in court when I call the drone to the stand 01:01:48.410 --> 01:01:51.330 Yeah, well, that's what they do. It's a drone that sits up there just hovers 01:01:51.330 --> 01:01:55.750 Yeah, I know I get it quadcopter drone, but you you obviously should challenge that in court 01:01:55.750 --> 01:01:57.870 Well, I mean I haven't been pulled over for it because I 01:01:58.670 --> 01:02:02.850 The listener's right there. Oh, yeah, yeah everything should be challenged in court 01:02:02.850 --> 01:02:09.210 Is that is that legal for who owns the the cameras? I I didn't know that you could do that 01:02:09.210 --> 01:02:15.930 So but it's a live officer that will issue out a ticket. But do they have your speed? 01:02:16.410 --> 01:02:21.250 I mean, I don't I don't know the the speeders always have a way of challenging it 01:02:22.050 --> 01:02:26.930 Because but that's a that's a really neat idea. Maybe we're gonna implement it 01:02:27.490 --> 01:02:29.630 but what happened to our 01:02:30.130 --> 01:02:31.130 thing was that 01:02:31.610 --> 01:02:37.050 I went to church and I thought it's 13 year old boy and I asked him I asked him 01:02:37.050 --> 01:02:44.110 Have you seen those mobile speeding cameras?

I saw it and those are the experts for speeding cameras 01:02:50.070 --> 01:02:52.350 Because those are the experts in speeding cameras 01:02:53.470 --> 01:02:58.950 Yeah, I'm 13 year old and he goes. I saw it on youtube. It's on a velcro 01:02:59.590 --> 01:03:00.590 I'm like, really? 01:03:02.770 --> 01:03:07.330 And he was just kid that knew what was going on because he saw it on youtube 01:03:07.990 --> 01:03:14.910 But I was thinking well all they have to do is middle of the night climb up there with a large ladder and jump from it 01:03:14.910 --> 01:03:17.450 And throw it down to the ground, right? 01:03:18.490 --> 01:03:22.550 Yeah, and there's the flock cameras that are like spy cameras 01:03:23.090 --> 01:03:27.690 They just they just log information about every time you drive by it. Who's in your car? 01:03:27.690 --> 01:03:29.510 You know how fast you're going 01:03:30.410 --> 01:03:33.210 Whether or not you have insurance they can report 01:03:33.750 --> 01:03:35.350 um people on list to 01:03:35.350 --> 01:03:40.770 local police and there's and there's a whole group of people called deflock that's 01:03:40.770 --> 01:03:41.710 bent on 01:03:42.390 --> 01:03:43.610 tearing down these cameras 01:03:44.090 --> 01:03:47.230 And they've been pretty successful. Well, you want to hear something 01:03:48.030 --> 01:03:50.450 about those flock cameras, uh, the 01:03:50.450 --> 01:03:54.530 There was this suburb outside of chicago had a contract with flock 01:03:55.290 --> 01:03:59.950 Um, and then they decided that they did not want the super spy cameras in their city 01:03:59.950 --> 01:04:04.970 But they can't take them down because the cameras are technically owned by flock. We covered that 01:04:04.970 --> 01:04:11.010 Oh, did you and then how they took them down? And then they reinstalled them under the city's nose. We've talked about this 01:04:11.010 --> 01:04:13.570 Yeah, that's terrifying. Yeah 01:04:14.090 --> 01:04:18.370 And it was because it was like you said it was the federal purview. So like the city couldn't do anything 01:04:18.370 --> 01:04:22.070 Yeah, and now they can't take him down even though they've said we don't want them here 01:04:22.070 --> 01:04:25.430 It's just citizens decided they passed the city ordinance 01:04:26.340 --> 01:04:30.030 They took him down and then the feds went nope, put him back up and flocked in 01:04:31.370 --> 01:04:32.670 Yeah, that's not good 01:04:36.810 --> 01:04:43.910 Well, it's a license it's not just the license plate reader they track the dense the scratches the 01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:45.830 color of your wheels 01:04:46.570 --> 01:04:48.050 Who's driving the car? 01:04:48.630 --> 01:04:54.670 Uh, how fast you're going? It's not just a license plate reader. It's like taking in other 01:04:55.750 --> 01:05:01.030 Other parts of the car and cataloging it. So like let's say you backed into a tree and there's a new 01:05:01.030 --> 01:05:07.550 Dent in your bumper the flock camera is gonna see that catalog it and like let the police know 01:05:07.550 --> 01:05:11.910 There's a new dent in your bumper. So if they're looking for you look for a dented bumper 01:05:13.490 --> 01:05:18.510 Well, you know, I think I passed through one of those when I was coming up on the freeway 01:05:19.110 --> 01:05:23.730 Um from El Paso to Albuquerque and I was going to the immigration checkpoint 01:05:24.550 --> 01:05:29.050 So that's my driver said that there was a camera right there. Let's be oh 01:05:29.050 --> 01:05:34.750 Have a whole a whole array of cameras at those checkpoints that do way more than just that 01:05:34.750 --> 01:05:39.610 They're checking they're checking like your body temperature. They're taking all kinds of biometrics 01:05:40.050 --> 01:05:42.890 I used to go through those a lot in southern arizona your gate 01:05:42.890 --> 01:05:47.250 They they track out how you walk like they map out what your steps look like 01:05:47.250 --> 01:05:50.050 So if they caught you on camera without your face showing 01:05:50.650 --> 01:05:54.870 They could technically say it was you by the way you were walking through the scene 01:05:54.870 --> 01:05:59.230 Yeah, according to what those guys do is take weed away from people who have it legally 01:06:00.050 --> 01:06:03.110 According to their state laws because they're federal officers. So 01:06:03.690 --> 01:06:05.210 They're still gonna take your weed away 01:06:05.210 --> 01:06:07.970 Their cameras are info red. Is that what you're telling me? 01:06:08.110 --> 01:06:13.390 So that when they're when I was going up to the window to see that guy to look us up 01:06:14.630 --> 01:06:19.770 So they're checking uh, they're sensing the body temperature in the car like 01:06:19.770 --> 01:06:26.690 Yeah, that would make sense because they probably have an infrared camera to look at the heat signature throughout the vehicle to see if you're smuggling anything in it 01:06:26.690 --> 01:06:30.670 Yeah, that seems pretty regular. Yeah, so you were probably hit with infrared for sure 01:06:32.550 --> 01:06:33.810 That is amazing 01:06:35.670 --> 01:06:38.490 She can't wait for it to come to new mexico. Oh sarah loves 01:06:39.050 --> 01:06:45.070 They have those border check stations. I've had an albuquerque then that's pretty far north for one of those 01:06:45.690 --> 01:06:50.190 Just her local city to stop speeders. Do they not have them up in the north country near canada? 01:06:51.410 --> 01:06:53.950 They do but I think they're a lot more chill. Oh 01:06:54.490 --> 01:06:58.650 Yeah, those ones those ones down the southern border man. They are militarized 01:06:58.650 --> 01:07:04.070 It's brown people versus white people man. Yeah, those the only guys you ever see stopped is the brown people 01:07:04.070 --> 01:07:10.710 I was driving through texas once uh, and I had never taken that route before and I had a bunch of contraband 01:07:11.270 --> 01:07:15.130 Uh in my car that probably would have got me in a lot of trouble in texas 01:07:15.130 --> 01:07:15.750 um 01:07:16.310 --> 01:07:19.230 All things considered and I didn't know I was gonna have to drive through this 01:07:19.230 --> 01:07:21.990 I was driving all the way across the country for like a job 01:07:22.770 --> 01:07:25.950 Uh knock indoors and I ended up in texas and I'm 01:07:26.430 --> 01:07:29.330 I'm thinking I'm just gonna send it and like if whatever happens happens 01:07:29.330 --> 01:07:33.290 Uh, if I get arrested my boss like bails people out for worse 01:07:33.290 --> 01:07:35.690 So I'll just owe him for a while 01:07:36.550 --> 01:07:38.210 Uh, and I'm my heart's pounding 01:07:38.730 --> 01:07:41.710 Uh, I'm getting even pulled over yet or just no 01:07:41.710 --> 01:07:46.650 I'm thinking I'm gonna have to drive through because every car has to drive through on this interstate, right? 01:07:46.710 --> 01:07:50.910 The one at right outside el paso. Okay. It's notorious. All right, and I'm freaking out 01:07:50.910 --> 01:07:52.850 It's like 12 in the morning one in the morning 01:07:53.450 --> 01:07:56.370 And I'm my heart's pounding. I'm getting closer and closer. I'm like this is it 01:07:56.370 --> 01:07:58.850 Like this is the end of whatever career I was doing 01:07:59.410 --> 01:08:05.070 There's no back roads bypass. No. No, they cut it all off. Like it's super super intense down south. Okay 01:08:05.070 --> 01:08:09.070 Um, my heart's pounding and as I get closer and closer it says follow cones 01:08:09.750 --> 01:08:14.470 Into the station and the cones blocked the station off and for some reason they were closed 01:08:15.170 --> 01:08:18.230 And I got to drive by it and I thought to myself 01:08:19.030 --> 01:08:20.610 Thank god for joe biden 01:08:22.810 --> 01:08:26.590 Stopping everything that uh, donald trump was doing in those moments 01:08:27.710 --> 01:08:31.550 What were you so afraid of what were you carrying contraband? 01:08:33.010 --> 01:08:34.230 Contraband it's like then 01:08:35.310 --> 01:08:37.790 We're not going to get into it unless you want to yeah 01:08:37.790 --> 01:08:42.230 Well, it was just uh, it was just like I had just I just had a I just had a bunch of weed on me 01:08:42.230 --> 01:08:46.270 And then texas they'll put you in prison for that kind of thing texas does not like no 01:08:46.270 --> 01:08:48.590 They do not play around and it was technically concentrate 01:08:48.590 --> 01:08:53.230 So they're gonna it's like a double whammy like they would have probably charged me for like 01:08:53.230 --> 01:08:58.750 Intent to distribute and tend to distribute like a whole bunch of other stuff when I'm trying to just get across the country 01:08:58.750 --> 01:09:04.530 I went to a shop that sold cbd in texas and they were like they acted like a sketchy 01:09:04.530 --> 01:09:06.950 You know under under the ground disco 01:09:07.510 --> 01:09:12.870 It was so funny like you're selling a thing that won't even get me high and you're acting like the feds might come down 01:09:12.870 --> 01:09:17.870 On you at any second. Yeah, I know they freak out even like delta even the even the off like the fake stuff 01:09:18.390 --> 01:09:22.910 You you get in trouble for in texas. It's crazy. They're very militant about drugs 01:09:22.910 --> 01:09:27.930 Still down south, especially in texas, let alone like alabama or arkansas 01:09:27.930 --> 01:09:32.650 Arizona was hardcore too until they until they just said, okay, weed's fine 01:09:33.350 --> 01:09:36.710 But they used to be real hardcore on that stuff 01:09:37.710 --> 01:09:43.130 Well, I think a lot of the states around texas are legal now like colorado's legal 01:09:43.770 --> 01:09:46.370 I guess that's not super close to texas, but uh 01:09:46.370 --> 01:09:47.930 Well, I guess it is like 01:09:48.610 --> 01:09:51.670 Washington and california while we're at it then well like um 01:09:51.670 --> 01:09:56.530 Well colorado's just right over the panhandle with oklahoma. So colorado's legal new mexico's legal 01:09:57.190 --> 01:09:59.030 um, I think missouri's legal 01:09:59.530 --> 01:10:01.590 Which is uh, oklahoma has a booming 01:10:02.690 --> 01:10:08.330 Fake medical where you can just go into all the medical dispensaries and buy it because nobody checks cards in oklahoma 01:10:08.330 --> 01:10:13.090 It's all but legal in oklahoma. So they're kind of surrounded by all these states that have kind of made it 01:10:13.710 --> 01:10:18.090 Legalized so they take pride in the fact that they still throw people in prison for weed 01:10:18.090 --> 01:10:22.990 In texas, do you know the implications of trump switching the schedule for marijuana then? 01:10:23.550 --> 01:10:28.010 Like I already is moving it from schedule one to schedule three and it's not my thing 01:10:28.010 --> 01:10:31.350 So I don't really pay attention to any of that. I didn't hear anything about that either. Okay 01:10:32.510 --> 01:10:37.330 I'm I don't know what the scheduling does but I just moving it from schedule one to schedule three 01:10:37.330 --> 01:10:42.270 I was willing to smoke it when it was you know 10 years in jail kind of a thing. So 01:10:43.450 --> 01:10:45.850 It just it seems like a good thing 01:10:45.850 --> 01:10:48.170 Right, it's like it's no longer schedule one 01:10:48.850 --> 01:10:53.610 But they're you know, there's another side to it and again, it's not my thing. So I didn't really read up into it 01:10:54.450 --> 01:10:56.190 But if you're a consumer, maybe you know 01:10:57.690 --> 01:11:04.450 I remember a long time ago they the arizona had speeding cameras on the freeways 01:11:04.990 --> 01:11:06.770 and all of the um 01:11:06.770 --> 01:11:07.710 speeders 01:11:08.230 --> 01:11:10.910 Said that you know that belongs the state highway 01:11:11.590 --> 01:11:14.530 And as a state you have no jurisdiction putting 01:11:15.370 --> 01:11:22.370 Your speeding cameras on the state highway because it belongs the state has to be passed by the federal government 01:11:22.370 --> 01:11:28.250 So I'm trying to figure out how does the drone fit in drone is 01:11:28.950 --> 01:11:34.010 hovering over a state highway, but the state owns it. How come the 01:11:34.990 --> 01:11:41.350 The speeder that people that get the ticket people that hate the speeding cameras are not fighting it in court not yet 01:11:41.910 --> 01:11:44.910 Because I think that's easier to pay to the state 01:11:45.930 --> 01:11:50.470 I mean again, if someone has to challenge it in court and they have to challenge it enough to make it, you know 01:11:50.470 --> 01:11:51.290 to make a change 01:11:52.030 --> 01:11:56.710 So if most people go to court and just pay the ticket or don't even go to court just pay the ticket 01:11:56.710 --> 01:12:01.890 You're not going to see much political change over it. Right. And if there's no precedent for it then 01:12:03.070 --> 01:12:07.750 Whichever department of police can do whatever they want and just see how it shakes out 01:12:07.750 --> 01:12:10.770 Yeah, well the precedent is set when someone challenges it and wins 01:12:11.230 --> 01:12:16.570 Or escalates exactly until then they're they're basically allowed to do whatever they want to right 01:12:17.350 --> 01:12:21.770 Well, I think maybe they're getting around with it because it's a live state officer 01:12:21.770 --> 01:12:23.870 That will give you the final ticket 01:12:24.510 --> 01:12:26.910 But the drone is detecting the speed 01:12:27.470 --> 01:12:32.490 So it's not a speeding camera placed on the freeway that will give you the ticket 01:12:32.490 --> 01:12:36.970 Right, which is why i'm saying you should challenge it and then like again called the drone 01:12:36.970 --> 01:12:42.210 Called the drone to testify because he's the only one with the first-hand knowledge of how fast you were going 01:12:42.210 --> 01:12:48.050 All right, the cop can't testify. He doesn't know he wasn't there. He has no first-hand knowledge 01:12:48.050 --> 01:12:53.110 Well, they probably have an operator that can show up and okay, then get them on stand like figure it out 01:12:54.070 --> 01:12:58.750 How did they know did you test the equipment and there's a whole bunch of like, you know ways to do it 01:12:58.750 --> 01:13:04.550 I'm sure this will get tested out when was the last time the drone's radar radar was calibrated properly 01:13:04.550 --> 01:13:06.890 Right all those questions that you see in the 01:13:06.890 --> 01:13:12.510 Uh, what is it the uh, oh, I forget the name of those the sovereign citizen people 01:13:12.990 --> 01:13:14.190 Hold their tactics 01:13:14.770 --> 01:13:21.500 I don't know if the drone have to belong to the state. I mean the federal government they they're they're 01:13:22.080 --> 01:13:27.480 They're the one that owns the road. So they're the one that has to implement it according to 01:13:28.140 --> 01:13:33.140 I mean, again, that's a great question sarah, but it has to be challenged in court first to get the answer 01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:37.100 Right the current answer is no because they're doing it anyway 01:13:37.820 --> 01:13:41.180 If you can if you can get people to challenge it and get that overturned 01:13:41.180 --> 01:13:45.040 It will then maybe stand the chance well, but is it feds that patrol the interstates 01:13:45.040 --> 01:13:50.360 It's usually the state police, right? So I don't know so that's but the feds own the roads 01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:52.580 Right if it's a if it's an interstate 01:13:53.160 --> 01:13:58.120 Well, don't they just contribute funds to said roads like that's part of her question 01:13:59.820 --> 01:14:01.840 Yep, I don't really know how it all works 01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:07.920 But I imagine a judge and a group of lawyers are probably gonna figure it out as soon as it gets challenged 01:14:08.900 --> 01:14:12.760 Well, the speeders the people that get the ticket will always fight it 01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:17.740 So they'll always figure something out to get out of a ticket for now to have a challenge 01:14:17.740 --> 01:14:19.080 I wish that were true 01:14:19.080 --> 01:14:23.960 I don't I don't think I think that's pretty rare that people ever fight a speeding ticket 01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:26.000 They just pay it because it's not worth their time 01:14:26.580 --> 01:14:30.940 But uh, I do hope that people fight these so that we can you know 01:14:31.580 --> 01:14:33.200 Jam off the system a little bit 01:14:33.740 --> 01:14:37.020 So, you know, so they have less time to go out and shoot people's dogs or whatever 01:14:37.900 --> 01:14:38.880 Shoot people's dependence 01:14:48.060 --> 01:14:52.420 The heaven people like shot the things up with a paintball and 01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.100 Put some bags over it and did all kinds of crazy stuff 01:14:56.100 --> 01:14:58.800 Good heroes. That's cool 01:14:59.940 --> 01:15:04.420 Modern day heroes Velcro just make it easier. You throw just lasso up there 01:15:04.420 --> 01:15:08.120 And just or like a rope of some kind and yank it down 01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:11.520 You're just making it easier for me to do my thing 01:15:12.820 --> 01:15:19.120 Yeah, but you know, what's that real answer is that where they have the intel they have more they have 01:15:19.560 --> 01:15:19.840 traditionally 01:15:20.460 --> 01:15:23.020 They invited a more intellectual 01:15:23.760 --> 01:15:24.320 educated 01:15:24.880 --> 01:15:27.120 crowded people that lived there for a while 01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:29.240 I I don't know if that 01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:33.540 Intel is going to leave they even paid for their own high school 01:15:33.540 --> 01:15:38.700 They invested money the intel paid for that to build a high school and they have their own 01:15:39.360 --> 01:15:39.720 um 01:15:40.260 --> 01:15:41.020 Their own 01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:46.160 Educational department and somebody all because of the intel came in all the people that live there 01:15:46.160 --> 01:15:50.340 And so they do stuff like this. I got a lot more intelligent 01:15:51.140 --> 01:15:52.740 Having these velcro 01:15:53.360 --> 01:15:58.640 Speeding cameras, you know, I've always had to say Rio Rancho Santa Fe and Los Alamos 01:15:59.480 --> 01:16:01.180 Had been like that more 01:16:02.240 --> 01:16:06.060 Rainier part of New Mexico. They've done a lot of like more 01:16:06.060 --> 01:16:08.660 Sophisticated things that came out of those cities 01:16:09.320 --> 01:16:14.620 I'm sophisticated out of as in like what with Los Alamos like sophisticated and killing people 01:16:15.380 --> 01:16:18.940 Like that's the number one thing I've heard out of Los Alamos is just nukes 01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:25.620 Yeah, I mean that's what they use their training for but the residents that live there 01:16:25.620 --> 01:16:31.640 They they have a lot more education so they have a lot more advanced things that they do for their 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:38.000 For their cities. I'm just glad we have a new example of like who would how will education be handled absent the state 01:16:38.780 --> 01:16:42.220 Right intel comes in and build a school. Well, all right 01:16:42.220 --> 01:16:44.140 companies will do it 01:16:44.660 --> 01:16:48.480 They need educated workers in a particular field to work in their manufacturing plant 01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:51.520 While I don't trust intel to instill 01:16:52.080 --> 01:16:55.240 A proper education in the youth. Uh, I am open to 01:16:55.240 --> 01:16:58.580 Competition in that marketplace because right now what you've got is 01:16:59.180 --> 01:17:04.360 What one supplier they're doing the worst possible job. Well, but but intel will 01:17:04.360 --> 01:17:08.160 Intel will provide it and specifically for their needs 01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.600 Right. So though those kids will get a more technologically advanced 01:17:12.280 --> 01:17:17.000 Education because they're going to be fed into the intel system and work at one of the plants nearby 01:17:18.060 --> 01:17:24.020 Hopefully they were employees that were living in ram ranchers like hey, my kid needs to go to a high school 01:17:24.020 --> 01:17:26.080 There's no high school close by my house 01:17:26.520 --> 01:17:32.460 So the intel company helps them build a high school and real actual and everything even better. I'm for it 01:17:33.080 --> 01:17:36.980 Wait, so that ever since then that that city 01:17:37.620 --> 01:17:38.900 Have been more 01:17:40.020 --> 01:17:43.140 Ahead of times or they come up with a lot more 01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:45.880 like intelligent things 01:17:46.540 --> 01:17:52.420 Um compared to apocro key or rod well or again another example of private business 01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:53.900 Owning the government 01:17:54.500 --> 01:17:58.140 Right like owning and so far as doing a better job 01:17:59.120 --> 01:18:00.240 Then the public system 01:18:01.500 --> 01:18:04.720 You're dunking on as in dunking on the government. Sure. Yeah 01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:06.320 as the kids would say 01:18:07.100 --> 01:18:12.420 I don't think it's all of their money. It's partially with their money and some state money or something like that 01:18:12.420 --> 01:18:15.680 I don't know what the breakdown is, but they were integrable 01:18:16.340 --> 01:18:22.160 Part of building a high school for the intel employees children so they could go get educated 01:18:22.420 --> 01:18:23.320 Again, i'm for it 01:18:24.100 --> 01:18:28.840 And if they're doing a better job than the public schools, you know out in the other parts of the state 01:18:29.360 --> 01:18:31.740 If even more so that that's what you want 01:18:33.700 --> 01:18:38.560 Yeah, I guess I don't know. I I absolutely can't stand public school 01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:43.200 I think that's what i'm saying, but now you it's not a public school anymore. It's intel's private 01:18:43.200 --> 01:18:47.220 So what this probably actually looked like is some high executive at 01:18:48.200 --> 01:18:50.860 At intel going to his government bureaucracy 01:18:51.300 --> 01:18:54.940 But he was like, hey, I needed you I need you guys to build a school here 01:18:55.460 --> 01:19:01.180 And the government buddy's like, well, we don't have the budget for it and the intel guy's like, well, I'll put in this money 01:19:01.180 --> 01:19:07.380 But you know, then kind of under the table is just actually going to go back into this trust fund that I control 01:19:07.380 --> 01:19:12.480 So really I didn't give away any money or like, you know, I mean there's always corruption involved in this kind of stuff 01:19:12.480 --> 01:19:17.800 Sure, but if sarah's claiming the results are that they're more well educated students coming out of that school 01:19:18.320 --> 01:19:22.960 And i'm saying i'm not surprised by that. Well, wouldn't the well educated know that velcro's a dumb idea 01:19:24.380 --> 01:19:26.720 Maybe yeah, I kind of think you could um 01:19:27.340 --> 01:19:31.100 I kind of think you're just sick kids in front of video games and get better 01:19:31.100 --> 01:19:38.660 Or is the idea with the velcro that the these cameras can be produced so cheaply now that they can just get ripped down 100 times 01:19:38.660 --> 01:19:43.720 And they can just keep budding them back up so someone there some economists there did the cost benefit analysis 01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:49.720 Right if we have to if we have to send a technician out there to climb the thing and bolt this thing back into place and 01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:53.120 Take all the other mounting screws out like how many hours is he going to be out there? 01:19:53.280 --> 01:19:55.140 They're going to come back tomorrow and rip it down anyway 01:19:55.620 --> 01:19:58.180 Or you just send him out there with a slab of velcro and 01:19:58.180 --> 01:20:01.800 Takes him like a third of the time or a quarter of the time 01:20:02.280 --> 01:20:06.180 Right all of a sudden like the place is made whatever we're just replacing it with velcro 01:20:06.740 --> 01:20:10.820 Yeah, well that place don't play that well if they catch you 01:20:10.820 --> 01:20:12.680 Doing that you get caught 01:20:13.240 --> 01:20:18.940 You'll get prosecuted.

It's stew 01:25:49.500 --> 01:25:51.080 angelo and rich rich 01:25:52.320 --> 01:25:55.380 um before serac called we were talking about 01:25:56.160 --> 01:26:00.040 This uh this case against the irs to try to make animals dependent 01:26:00.660 --> 01:26:05.960 I'd like to see uh where that story was going a lawyer and her canine golden retriever 01:26:05.960 --> 01:26:08.080 A lawyer woman named finnegan 01:26:08.820 --> 01:26:11.080 Yeah finnegan mary reynolds 01:26:11.080 --> 01:26:16.640 Finnegan mary reynolds and her owner. Yeah. Yeah, amanda reynolds. Yeah 01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:23.300 So, uh, the last part read the the the canine relies entirely on her 01:26:24.040 --> 01:26:28.460 Amanda reynolds for food shelter medical care training transportation and more 01:26:29.020 --> 01:26:32.160 And so she argued that finnegan an eight-year-old golden retriever 01:26:32.540 --> 01:26:34.560 Has no independent income 01:26:35.200 --> 01:26:40.960 Resides exclusively with her and has annual expenses exceeding five thousand dollars 01:26:41.740 --> 01:26:45.500 All requirements for a legal human dependent under irs rules 01:26:47.600 --> 01:26:49.980 While the irs defines pets as property 01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:56.840 Reynolds said this does not reflect finnegan's role in her household according to qz. I don't know what that is 01:26:57.740 --> 01:27:02.740 For all intents and purposes finnegan is like my daughter and is definitely a dependent 01:27:03.360 --> 01:27:09.480 The case reads noted that while the subject may seem unusual it is not frivolous or meritless 01:27:10.240 --> 01:27:15.820 Reynolds goes on to argue that not classifying all pets as dependents is an unfair burden to taxpayers 01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:23.280 Especially since the irs says that some pets namely service animals can qualify for tax advantages 01:27:25.400 --> 01:27:29.340 Claiming a dependent can result in tax favored credits and deductions according to forbes 01:27:29.340 --> 01:27:36.360 This includes the child tax credit and additional child tax credit the credit for other dependents and the earn income tax credit 01:27:36.360 --> 01:27:37.660 The outlet reports 01:27:38.240 --> 01:27:45.100 There isn't however any language in case law or statutes that would allow pet owners to claim those tax breaks for sports 01:27:45.820 --> 01:27:51.180 While pets have a special place in many households across the country as seen by a recent study that found 01:27:51.180 --> 01:27:55.760 An increasing number of owners have begun to regard their dogs as children 01:27:56.500 --> 01:27:58.940 The case seems unlikely to move forward 01:28:00.040 --> 01:28:05.800 Magistrate judge james m wicks who has overseen the case has granted a motion to pause the discovery process 01:28:06.540 --> 01:28:10.060 As the irs will likely file a motion to dismiss the case 01:28:10.760 --> 01:28:11.700 end of the article 01:28:13.820 --> 01:28:15.480 All right, well 01:28:15.480 --> 01:28:16.940 Again i'm for it 01:28:16.940 --> 01:28:23.600 Well, i'm just worried is this going to set a precedent to where animals are going to be considered to have be autonomous and have their own rights 01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:26.300 Because they tried to do this in oregon recently 01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:34.640 It was an animal rights bill what they kind of were putting forward was but it was that you couldn't kill your own animals 01:28:35.260 --> 01:28:38.120 You couldn't and then a bunch of farmers are like wait a second 01:28:38.120 --> 01:28:40.900 That's like what we do is I raise animals to kill them 01:28:40.900 --> 01:28:45.740 But they were saying that private owned animals couldn't like you'd have to euthanize them through a vet 01:28:45.740 --> 01:28:49.500 Or it you know, they just worded it in ways that it was obvious 01:28:49.500 --> 01:28:53.760 They were going to make owning and butchering your animals illegal because they had more back their chickens 01:28:53.760 --> 01:28:58.460 Yeah, because you you were abusing your animals taking their labor from them without their consent 01:28:59.200 --> 01:29:02.220 Well, that was a scan by the butchers you know kind of what farming is 01:29:02.980 --> 01:29:06.620 Well, yeah, but that was the whole thing are we going to set make precedents to where 01:29:06.620 --> 01:29:10.680 Oh, if you're gonna they're going to be a dependent now you can't kill your backyard chicken 01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:13.620 It's a jobs creation program for more slaughterhouses 01:29:13.620 --> 01:29:17.640 Yeah, for that you can't kill it, but you have to go pay someone else to do it for you for that reason 01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:20.580 I don't see this thing uh going anywhere just 01:29:21.460 --> 01:29:25.580 I don't know nice try that's a whole lot of pets out there 01:29:26.180 --> 01:29:26.580 Yeah 01:29:27.480 --> 01:29:30.480 It's a whole lot of tax breaks and tax dutchins. Yeah, but it's the president 01:29:30.480 --> 01:29:36.520 I'm for it. I'm saying for it. Are we you're gonna want to give animals rights like saying people rights, right? 01:29:36.580 --> 01:29:39.960 No, I want to I want to say that you can claim your animal as a dependent 01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:45.700 The rights of an animal aren't aren't dependent on what humans say about it or not 01:29:47.440 --> 01:29:53.680 So what is does an animal have a right to not get killed by you does your backyard chicken have a right to not be 01:29:53.680 --> 01:29:56.560 It has a right to like self-defense and 01:29:57.080 --> 01:30:00.380 So it can try to fight back but once you once you got it, it's over 01:30:00.380 --> 01:30:05.280 I mean, that's that's the natural order of things. Anyway, that is the natural order of things. Yes 01:30:05.940 --> 01:30:11.080 Well, so you have the right to fight back against the cop. It's not a smart move. He's probably going to shoot you 01:30:11.700 --> 01:30:13.780 Yeah, you see what I'm saying. It's uh 01:30:13.780 --> 01:30:16.720 You can absolutely take his right 01:30:17.270 --> 01:30:23.420 Your rights are able to be impeded by others should we have cops come try to kill you for catching your chicken and killing it? 01:30:24.240 --> 01:30:26.120 Um, no, okay 01:30:27.500 --> 01:30:31.560 I just feel like this kind of what you're gonna set a precedent for that kind of thing 01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:37.680 Yeah, uh, well, they'll probably it's like that pita sign right like where do you draw the line? 01:30:37.940 --> 01:30:39.340 But pita doesn't draw the line 01:30:39.340 --> 01:30:42.820 They they want to have they want to release cows the state will though 01:30:42.820 --> 01:30:45.960 It'll be like, well, is it a pet or is it being raised for food? 01:30:46.480 --> 01:30:47.840 Do you have your farmer's license? 01:30:48.220 --> 01:30:53.420 You keep one pig that you really like as a pet and the rest gets slaughtered what you make that decision 01:30:53.420 --> 01:30:57.440 So is the state going to come in and be like that's technically not a pet 01:30:57.440 --> 01:31:03.060 No, because you've designated that pig as a pet you feel like I gotta fill out paperwork with the state 01:31:03.060 --> 01:31:03.500 Sure 01:31:04.080 --> 01:31:06.520 I mean this is a tax thing. You're gonna feel like paperwork anyway 01:31:06.520 --> 01:31:13.920 So like babe gets put on the the dependent form and you know all your other pigs that are going to get slaughtered don't 01:31:14.520 --> 01:31:18.580 I can see it works out. I gotta now. I gotta butch your babe because he's done something 01:31:18.580 --> 01:31:22.040 Oh, and you then you've committed tax fraud or you got to file an amendment to your tax thing 01:31:22.040 --> 01:31:24.500 That's murder of your child, right? If 01:31:24.500 --> 01:31:29.200 Exactly, that's what I'm saying. What if babe goes feral and I got to put him down or he gets 01:31:29.200 --> 01:31:34.300 Then you gotta have then you read then you have to have him put down in the humane way by the vet or 01:31:34.300 --> 01:31:38.660 Or by Canada's just like you would a child got medical assistance in dying 01:31:38.660 --> 01:31:41.820 So, I mean, you know, they're already doing that for humans anyways 01:31:42.280 --> 01:31:45.440 Well, I guess they already they did that in Canada with all those ostriches 01:31:45.440 --> 01:31:46.180 Yeah 01:31:46.720 --> 01:31:50.260 So, uh, so it's just a matter of how it's put down. I guess like 01:31:50.260 --> 01:31:55.560 I don't know. Maybe you just become a licensed youth anologist or whatever they're called and then 01:31:55.560 --> 01:31:57.780 Or again, you just fill out the amendment on the form 01:31:58.420 --> 01:32:02.100 Right. It's no longer dependent and like for tax year 2025. It was a dependent 01:32:02.100 --> 01:32:06.180 You put it down and for tax year 2026. You don't claim it as a dependent anymore 01:32:07.680 --> 01:32:14.080 Yeah, maybe you could read designated status for uh from pet to sure livestock or whatever whatever 01:32:15.240 --> 01:32:16.480 Yeah, I don't know 01:32:17.520 --> 01:32:21.560 There's a lot of government is that not a thing already with insurance for like farmers on your like 01:32:21.560 --> 01:32:25.040 I wish this is probably a question for jane ewn, but he's not I haven't 01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:29.420 Uh, I just feel like wouldn't that already exist for like if you lost cows 01:32:30.120 --> 01:32:31.660 In like a like an event 01:32:32.220 --> 01:32:35.920 Don't you get to claim that on your taxes as a right off? Yeah, it's like a write-off 01:32:36.380 --> 01:32:38.920 So then I guess those technically aren't 01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:42.740 Pets right that would be considered a an in his aren't pets 01:32:43.240 --> 01:32:47.460 Yeah, but if you had a pet and it could save like $5,000 on his normal taxes 01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:52.480 Would you not designate one pig as a pet just not kill it seems like you definitely would 01:32:53.300 --> 01:32:56.620 Right if you're gonna if I don't know how long do pigs take to raise 01:32:57.920 --> 01:33:02.060 Oh like a year and two years maybe okay, so year one when you're not gonna kill it 01:33:02.060 --> 01:33:05.300 It's a pet you get you right off year two when it's getting to the age or size of 01:33:05.740 --> 01:33:09.160 Murdering it then you be designated as not a pet you take it off as a dependent 01:33:09.160 --> 01:33:12.200 So now if you have it out there living with the rest of your 01:33:12.780 --> 01:33:16.000 Not pets as a pet right and it gets injured 01:33:16.740 --> 01:33:22.000 Are you gonna get in trouble for animal abuse or animal neglect because that was technically your pet and he got caught up in the 01:33:22.000 --> 01:33:25.040 No dogs get injured all the time. That's what vets are for 01:33:25.040 --> 01:33:27.800 Pets get hurt all the time. No one goes after the owner 01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:33.380 They can they have before like this dog does not look good, man. Like we're gonna call the cops 01:33:33.380 --> 01:33:36.040 It's obvious you're not taking care of that's usually neglect 01:33:36.040 --> 01:33:39.740 But if a pet gets injured like your dog your dog gets hit by your neighbor's car 01:33:40.260 --> 01:33:44.320 Right no one's like coming after you for animal cruelty. You just take it to the vet and fix the broken leg 01:33:44.980 --> 01:33:46.020 Well pita would 01:33:46.540 --> 01:33:48.980 I was just saying you I think it's a dangerous precedent 01:33:48.980 --> 01:33:53.120 You're gonna let you're gonna give the crazy animal rights people too much of an in 01:33:54.340 --> 01:33:57.220 I'm for anything that absolves people of paying more taxes 01:33:57.220 --> 01:34:03.620 Yeah, anything that lessens the war chest for those guys is good with me. I would take it even though 01:34:03.620 --> 01:34:04.620 I mean 01:34:05.460 --> 01:34:09.580 I see what you're saying, but they'll stick their foot in those doors. Anyways 01:34:10.300 --> 01:34:12.260 They already have yeah, that's why they got the signs 01:34:12.260 --> 01:34:15.220 That's their favorite thing is finding a door and sticking their foot in it 01:34:15.220 --> 01:34:16.520 See if they can get all the way inside 01:34:17.080 --> 01:34:17.800 and so 01:34:18.520 --> 01:34:24.800 You know, there's not a door they're shy of so and they don't always even need any kind of a 01:34:25.360 --> 01:34:28.880 A precedent or you know a justification for doing it 01:34:28.880 --> 01:34:34.040 They just do it anyways and see how it goes and we can we've kind of moved the line on service animals anyway 01:34:34.620 --> 01:34:39.560 Right like all people like the service ostrich to being allowed on the plane or whatever people go like well 01:34:39.560 --> 01:34:41.380 No, we're kind of not going to do that anymore 01:34:42.220 --> 01:34:44.460 Right, but people tried it. They tested the theory 01:34:45.540 --> 01:34:49.340 You get just you get your service animal your c9 dog, whatever you need 01:34:49.940 --> 01:34:54.360 Right, but if you're abusing that system for whatever reason or trying to get you know 01:34:54.360 --> 01:34:57.620 Your your pet alligator to be allowed where it ought to not be 01:34:58.180 --> 01:35:00.660 In the supermarket or in the restaurant like yeah 01:35:01.860 --> 01:35:07.440 It's a side society will figure out the line either through the courts or through arbitration or just through community standards 01:35:09.980 --> 01:35:13.020 Yeah, that's kind of what they're there for one would hope they'd do it 01:35:13.600 --> 01:35:13.960 Yeah 01:35:14.700 --> 01:35:19.560 Try to take your your your support alligator into the supermarket supermarket goes like no private property 01:35:20.280 --> 01:35:23.900 I don't care if it's a service animal. You just don't get to shop here with that thing 01:35:25.360 --> 01:35:28.960 It's dangerous to our other shoppers and we have to keep their safety in mind as well 01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:34.160 I've actually seen I've seen the opposite where they took a steer down to the tractor supply a longhorn 01:35:34.160 --> 01:35:41.320 Have you seen those that video where they took the cow down to the a full-size longhorn steer and tried to walk them through a tractor supply 01:35:41.760 --> 01:35:46.320 Um the tractor supply was like yeah, we accept all animals. Dude. Go ahead. Nice to have them here 01:35:46.320 --> 01:35:51.760 Yeah, well again rural community with a rural pet. Yeah, like you're not going to get that in new york city 01:35:53.980 --> 01:35:58.340 True well, they got horses in new york city, but I would try to take them into the park 01:35:58.340 --> 01:36:01.180 I'm outside with the cars though. They don't walk them into the supermarket 01:36:03.380 --> 01:36:07.140 I wonder if you could walk a horse into a hardware store in new york city. It doesn't sell food 01:36:07.960 --> 01:36:12.460 Okay, they might get mad, but I don't see why it wouldn't I think it well 01:36:12.460 --> 01:36:17.120 I I think there's some vestigial laws in there that still classifies horses as vehicles 01:36:17.600 --> 01:36:19.580 Like oh no, you can still ride your horse down the highway 01:36:19.580 --> 01:36:22.180 Just you know parking off like a bike lane or whatever 01:36:23.080 --> 01:36:28.260 Right, but you leave it outside just like I don't think you can I think the interstate specifically says like 01:36:28.340 --> 01:36:29.260 no horses or 01:36:30.580 --> 01:36:34.820 Bicycles or mopeds or okay. Well highway right highway. There's like a state highway. Yeah 01:36:35.400 --> 01:36:39.720 Or like here down, you know, whatever the the numbered road is 01:36:40.680 --> 01:36:43.100 You got to get you got to get from hither to yawn somehow 01:36:43.680 --> 01:36:46.000 And if your only means of transportation is a horse 01:36:46.500 --> 01:36:48.220 Can't stop you true 01:36:49.940 --> 01:36:55.160 But you know, you also don't take it into the supermarket you don't drive your car through the mall and you leave it outside 01:36:55.860 --> 01:36:59.900 Park you park you you know, that's why they had the like back in the old days a little like horse 01:37:00.400 --> 01:37:00.760 Uh 01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:04.500 Yeah, the post. Yeah, just tie it up there and then you go inside 01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:09.700 Yeah, if you need to drive through the mall, they got those scooty puffs. Sure. Yeah 01:37:12.920 --> 01:37:17.640 The little scooters I was just thinking like an honest person trying to go in the mall having to use like a 01:37:17.640 --> 01:37:20.220 He brings his own pony. Yeah, I was thinking like Shetland ponies 01:37:20.700 --> 01:37:22.540 Like pulling the cart around for him 01:37:23.020 --> 01:37:26.460 Now that'd be good. I would hope I was at the mall on that day 01:37:26.460 --> 01:37:30.260 I lived I grew up next to a place that had about 30 or 40 of them 01:37:30.260 --> 01:37:35.420 Uh, many ponies that just lived out in the field and they they would chariot race them 01:37:35.420 --> 01:37:38.840 And they'd be like a team of 10 of them hooked up to this little cart 01:37:39.260 --> 01:37:45.220 Pulling people around in this field and like their Shetland ponies were like chariot teams for them 01:37:45.220 --> 01:37:48.180 Um, and I don't know some Chinese dude enters as a rickshaw 01:37:49.280 --> 01:37:51.980 I'll race them. Yes. See if they can beat the little voices 01:37:52.540 --> 01:37:56.500 They'd get moving they get moving. I guess those little horses are actually pretty mean 01:37:57.080 --> 01:38:01.940 Uh, because I guess they take like the whole the attitude of a big horse and they've shrunk it down 01:38:01.940 --> 01:38:06.540 Almost into like a little man syndrome same thing with like, you know, like a chihuahua. It's a napoleon complex 01:38:06.540 --> 01:38:08.880 Yeah, it's a napoleon complex with horses 01:38:08.880 --> 01:38:13.100 So they're like super mean they'll like bite you and kick at you and they're not very nice 01:38:13.100 --> 01:38:17.200 Even though they're super cute. I guess the smaller ones are just ordinary 01:38:18.260 --> 01:38:19.980 I get it 01:38:21.960 --> 01:38:22.600 Hmm 01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:27.720 Which guts do no not much there's um 01:38:28.580 --> 01:38:36.420 The u.s. Is going after another oil tanker another one. So this is number three another venezuelan oil tanker. Yeah, okay 01:38:36.880 --> 01:38:38.120 Trying to exit or enter 01:38:38.120 --> 01:38:44.620 I don't know she'll find out from Reuters u.s. Pursuing third oil tanker near venezuela officials say 01:38:46.300 --> 01:38:49.640 This is surrounded by trumps armada or whatever he said 01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:51.780 We've got the biggest armada in the world 01:38:53.040 --> 01:38:54.680 Venezuelans, we've got you surrounded 01:38:55.480 --> 01:38:56.680 Give us all your oil 01:38:56.680 --> 01:38:58.860 I heard a room a fentanyl 01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:05.960 I heard a rumor of russia sending an aircraft carrier down that way, but I don't know to assist venezuela or to like monitor the us 01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:07.020 Okay, yeah 01:39:07.600 --> 01:39:13.780 Which is uh, that's well, I heard that trump just uh, I haven't substantiated that. I don't know 01:39:13.780 --> 01:39:15.480 Well, I I think I 01:39:16.020 --> 01:39:18.880 Heard that trump. I think I might have been on one of the the brakes 01:39:19.300 --> 01:39:24.880 It was news to me that trump designated the maduro regime itself as a terrorist organization 01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:30.540 Okay, um, so now it's now he can use like anti-terrorist 01:39:31.060 --> 01:39:37.100 Laws that they have in the u.s. To so a terrorist a terrorist organization with weapons of vast destruction 01:39:37.780 --> 01:39:42.380 Yeah, he's he's surrounded by the united states navy. All right 01:39:42.380 --> 01:39:49.820 This is gonna go well surrounded by terrorists with weapons of mass destruction. This is uh today from roiders 01:39:49.820 --> 01:39:55.880 The u.s. Coast Guard is pursuing an oil tanker in international waters near venezuela officials told roiders 01:39:55.880 --> 01:39:59.080 Uh today it's a low speed pursuit. It won't 01:39:59.660 --> 01:40:01.980 Chasing them at five knots. It's a bronco 01:40:01.980 --> 01:40:08.680 You want to waste the oil dude? You catch fire. It's pointless. We gotta take take it slow here 01:40:08.980 --> 01:40:15.780 What would be the second such operation this weekend and the third in less than two weeks if successful 01:40:15.780 --> 01:40:21.600 The united states coast guard is in active pursuit of a sanctioned dark fleet vessel 01:40:22.100 --> 01:40:25.340 That is part of venezuela's illegal sanctions evasion 01:40:25.860 --> 01:40:33.240 Dark fleet a u.s. Official said it is flying a false flag and under a judicial seizure seizure order 01:40:34.360 --> 01:40:36.280 Well, okay, I guess there's a 01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:38.240 What a dark fleet 01:40:39.240 --> 01:40:45.060 Well, I think the idea might as well be a dark web. There's you know, well, I think the idea is is like, uh 01:40:46.800 --> 01:40:50.840 Companies that are under not companies but countries that are under some kind of embargoes 01:40:50.840 --> 01:40:57.340 What they do is they'll pay people for like fake papers so they can fly another country's flag 01:40:57.960 --> 01:41:02.260 So like when you look at it with a telescope, it's like, oh, that's a chinese vessel 01:41:02.260 --> 01:41:08.220 What is Denmark doing down? Yeah. Yeah, it's okay. I think the chinese do it a lot with like their stuff too 01:41:08.220 --> 01:41:13.400 They'll they'll run dark fleets all over the world for like whaling. I know the chinese still do a bunch of 01:41:13.400 --> 01:41:17.980 It's a thing sea setters are into also is finding out which countries will 01:41:18.480 --> 01:41:23.900 Will give you a flag because if you're if you're sailing around on the open seas on a ship 01:41:24.420 --> 01:41:29.500 Flying no flag. I guess you're fair game. Anyone could just blow you up. Yeah, because it's international law 01:41:29.500 --> 01:41:35.520 Yeah, if you fly Somali flag, are you still going to get caught by their pirates? Did they leave those people alone? 01:41:36.200 --> 01:41:42.540 Somalia is probably under sanctions and you know seizure orders from every company every country out there 01:41:42.540 --> 01:41:46.860 I would imagine I'll just tack this on to your headline. I don't you we don't have to get into it 01:41:46.860 --> 01:41:48.240 but there was I posted an article 01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:50.260 um in the host group 01:41:51.010 --> 01:41:52.960 for anyone to use and it was basically 01:41:53.590 --> 01:41:57.780 Uh trump saying that you know venezuela stole american oil 01:41:57.780 --> 01:42:03.940 And yeah, he's just trying to get it back. Yeah. He said that's our oil. That's our oil. We're gonna get it back. Yeah 01:42:04.560 --> 01:42:06.280 Yeah, that's what he said. Yeah 01:42:06.280 --> 01:42:12.000 In in relation to like the lives lost through drugs. Is he trying to stretch it that way? No 01:42:12.000 --> 01:42:17.980 No, it's like the venezuelan the oil the oil and the venezuelan tankers belong to america that they stole from us 01:42:17.980 --> 01:42:21.080 And that we're good. We're just we're just getting back. What's ours? 01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:24.960 Yeah, so we're just manifest destiny and the rest of the 01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:28.840 continent sure is that what we're going for that's what it sounds like 01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:32.080 It's our oil. We're just gonna go get it sounds like gas lighting 01:42:32.080 --> 01:42:37.180 But you know, whatever because american exceptionalism and providence and all of that 01:42:37.180 --> 01:42:38.960 The armada is justified 01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:40.480 blowing up 01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:43.960 Are you not are you not with it? 01:42:45.100 --> 01:42:45.680 I 01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:50.120 Another official said the tanker was under sanctions but added that it had not been 01:42:50.120 --> 01:42:54.960 Boarded so so far and the interceptions can take different forms 01:42:55.560 --> 01:43:00.740 Including by sailing or flying close to the vessels of concern. We've got to get close enough to throw the boards out 01:43:00.740 --> 01:43:01.520 Yeah 01:43:02.820 --> 01:43:03.400 board 01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:10.040 The officials the officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity bringing my brown pants 01:43:10.040 --> 01:43:15.580 Did not give a specific location for the operation or name of the vessel being pursued 01:43:16.180 --> 01:43:22.060 British maritime risk management group vanguard along with u.s maritime security source 01:43:24.460 --> 01:43:32.460 Identified the vessel as bella one a very large crude oil carrier that was added last year to the sanctions list of the u.s 01:43:32.460 --> 01:43:37.020 Treasury department which said the vessel has links to iran.

That was our oil 01:44:00.840 --> 01:44:01.120 Okay 01:44:03.160 --> 01:44:05.160 Transporting american oil from venezuela 01:44:05.940 --> 01:44:08.020 American oil in the ground in venezuela 01:44:08.020 --> 01:44:14.760 American oil from venezuela to china according to international documents from state-run oil company 01:44:14.760 --> 01:44:20.880 PD vsa, whatever that is venezuela's got a long oil pump just angled in towards the united states 01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:22.360 Yeah, well, you know, that's why 01:44:22.980 --> 01:44:29.360 I didn't learn this until the other day. That's why i'm i think it's sadam who's saying that's why he went into kuwait 01:44:29.920 --> 01:44:33.100 Was because kuwait was angle drilling into iraq 01:44:33.660 --> 01:44:36.300 And and he was like, hey, you guys need to stop that 01:44:36.740 --> 01:44:42.300 And uh, they were like no man. He's like you stop that or i'm gonna invade you to make you stop and then he invaded 01:44:42.780 --> 01:44:46.380 The u.s. Said hey, man, we're cool. Like we don't care what you do in the middle east 01:44:46.380 --> 01:44:52.660 So who's saying invaded kuwait to like stop the angle drilling and then yeah, we bombed the crap out of them 01:44:52.660 --> 01:44:55.200 And sent them back to the stone age. Yeah 01:44:55.200 --> 01:45:00.640 Yeah, america's like dude, you should slant drill into that oil field over there and kuwait's like cool and then 01:45:01.900 --> 01:45:06.980 Like they were totally playing both sides of this thing the whole time it is just messed up and then just used it 01:45:06.980 --> 01:45:10.960 As an excuse to to steal the oil like we wanted the oil 01:45:10.960 --> 01:45:15.860 So we just said forget it. We'll quit with forget the angle drilling. We'll just 01:45:16.400 --> 01:45:18.440 Angle bomb them and then we'll take it 01:45:19.160 --> 01:45:19.640 Yeah 01:45:20.160 --> 01:45:21.320 But don't tell that wind 01:45:22.160 --> 01:45:26.540 Uh and kuwait feel about that and then not only that but a lot of that stuff 01:45:26.540 --> 01:45:30.560 They were showing us on cnn or whatever it was like faked footage 01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:34.020 Filled in front of a green screen and not even an actual wartime footage 01:45:34.020 --> 01:45:39.080 They're just like all the scud missile stuff and they're like, oh, that was all just faked 01:45:39.080 --> 01:45:42.220 Kuwait didn't have a problem with the united states stealing the oil that they were drilling 01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:48.260 Oh, no, you guys are the good guys. You saved us from sedan mussein. It's all all the oil 01:45:48.840 --> 01:45:53.060 The kuwait families were probably paid off well in advance anybody that would have 01:45:53.340 --> 01:45:59.720 Said anything about it or you just bring them into the hegemony like the saudis right like you get in on this petrodollar kuwait and 01:46:00.340 --> 01:46:04.300 We'll make you know these top families riches can be all right 01:46:04.920 --> 01:46:11.740 This vessel had also previously carried iranian crude according to the vessel monitoring service 01:46:12.340 --> 01:46:15.240 There's something wrong with that. What's the problem with the reigning crude? 01:46:15.780 --> 01:46:20.840 Uh, are they not are they not allowed to sell is iran sanctioned from selling oil?

Don't you know they have natural resources in oil that they're willing to sell 01:46:33.860 --> 01:46:38.740 They hate your freedom. They shouldn't be allowed to sell their oil because they hate your freedom 01:46:39.800 --> 01:46:43.400 Yeah, it's really just it has more to do with like 01:46:44.500 --> 01:46:47.520 Balkanization and keeping things divided so they can 01:46:48.300 --> 01:46:53.460 So they can run global schemes of it's not just oil either. It has it's like 01:46:54.280 --> 01:46:59.600 It's like back in the day when the british were running things and they had their east india company 01:47:00.080 --> 01:47:05.500 And it wasn't just about slaves, right?

I don't think he his 01:59:52.940 --> 01:59:55.620 Narcissism has any controls over it though. Well, there's 01:59:56.200 --> 01:59:56.680 Affirmations 01:59:57.380 --> 02:00:02.300 Wild there's difference between having confidence in one's own abilities and being a narcissist 02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:06.640 I think so I think being like yeah, I can 02:00:06.640 --> 02:00:09.320 I'm good at what I do sure 02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:17.580 But am I just the greatest of all time at everything I do? Probably not that's imagine what you could be if you actually thought that way though 02:00:18.160 --> 02:00:23.680 Well, but then there's always you're always going to get beat. You always lose at some point. You can be the greatest 02:00:24.320 --> 02:00:27.860 But you always get old some somebody's going to be have a faster draw 02:00:27.860 --> 02:00:31.700 He lost to joe biden and came back and beat kamala harris 02:00:32.540 --> 02:00:38.600 I'm coming back stronger.

I warned you 02:00:46.040 --> 02:00:49.120 Yeah, I don't think so great with me in charge. I don't think he took it so hard 02:00:49.120 --> 02:00:52.540 I think he knows that this is all very much wwe 02:00:53.980 --> 02:00:56.640 Wait, I'm just talking about yeah, he's leaned into the kayfabe 02:00:56.640 --> 02:01:01.440 You just see that I've talked about this before if you look at where his money came from 02:01:01.700 --> 02:01:03.840 from 2016 to 2024 02:01:04.880 --> 02:01:09.300 It went from 60 percent being small dollar donations in 2016 02:01:09.780 --> 02:01:11.960 So like the regular the working folk 02:01:12.500 --> 02:01:13.060 So and 02:01:13.860 --> 02:01:14.620 Quote in quote 02:01:15.200 --> 02:01:21.840 Right was 60 grassroots. Yeah, the grass roots the blue collars, right? We're 60 percent of his donations in 2016 02:01:22.460 --> 02:01:29.460 Fast forward to 2024 and now 60 percent of his donations are coming from millionaire lobbyists like mary madelson 02:01:30.140 --> 02:01:35.960 Right, so he's totally just leaned into the fake kayfabeness of it because he needed the money to get reelected 02:01:35.960 --> 02:01:37.780 Because his ego wouldn't let it go 02:01:38.300 --> 02:01:40.680 So he sold out to keep his ego intact 02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:42.200 yep 02:01:43.200 --> 02:01:46.880 But at the same time like if you're donating to him, don't you want him to do what you ask? 02:01:47.360 --> 02:01:52.480 Right, you're buying a politician. Joe biden admitted that in an interview in like the 70s 02:01:52.480 --> 02:01:56.940 Yeah, so the whole point was lobbyists come to you and they give you money and then you do what they tell you to do 02:01:56.940 --> 02:02:00.140 Well, the whole idea was we were supposed to be the lobbyists that bought trump 02:02:00.140 --> 02:02:02.140 That was the idea of the maga boom and a guy 02:02:02.820 --> 02:02:06.400 That was bought out by the people and you had him for four years 02:02:07.420 --> 02:02:09.420 And when he came back, he just lied 02:02:09.920 --> 02:02:13.860 When he came back, he's like you guys didn't help me at all. Yeah in the last election 02:02:13.860 --> 02:02:18.360 I'm going big money for by mary madelson or whatever her name is 02:02:19.060 --> 02:02:22.160 Right, so brought to by the jewish lobby. That's right 02:02:22.800 --> 02:02:25.360 Our greatest ally. Yeah, just noticing 02:02:27.380 --> 02:02:29.240 Uh, I guess the department 02:02:29.900 --> 02:02:33.160 Mark levin's have you heard mark levin's comment the other day about 02:02:33.800 --> 02:02:37.660 How he's not only our first he's not the first jewish president 02:02:37.660 --> 02:02:40.200 He's the first jewish president to run 02:02:40.780 --> 02:02:43.200 And win in non-consecutive terms 02:02:44.440 --> 02:02:50.880 So I guess you can yeah, you can see who who side he is on and it's I don't think it's america 02:02:50.880 --> 02:02:54.000 So who's gonna be the first jewish president to win consecutive terms? 02:02:54.620 --> 02:02:58.140 JD vans. Oh, I was gonna say maybe trump if he runs again. Yeah, maybe 02:02:58.580 --> 02:03:02.980 He might yeah, I don't doubt that he'll probably try to pull that at this point 02:03:03.520 --> 02:03:05.860 Has it already been done? Is that like 02:03:06.680 --> 02:03:08.080 Uh, one of the bushes 02:03:09.240 --> 02:03:11.520 I really want trump to run for the third term 02:03:12.260 --> 02:03:14.020 I kind of partially for the spectacle 02:03:14.580 --> 02:03:17.360 But first go ahead. I kind of do too because 02:03:19.000 --> 02:03:22.860 Alternatively, you're probably gonna end up with gas Gavin Newsom, right? 02:03:22.860 --> 02:03:27.060 Okay, yeah, well, baby. Yeah, but if I like this is my prediction 02:03:27.060 --> 02:03:31.080 And I I just want the guy who's gonna be funnier and to me that's still trump 02:03:31.080 --> 02:03:36.840 Well, I'm I'm predict this now like if trump gets his third term if he's allowed to run for a third term 02:03:37.420 --> 02:03:39.540 I want barack obama to come out of retirement 02:03:40.200 --> 02:03:44.060 And run for a third term like that's the showdown the country deserves 02:03:45.240 --> 02:03:49.420 Hmm not trump versus Newsom not trump versus aoc 02:03:50.180 --> 02:03:53.040 But his whole feud is with barack obama 02:03:53.660 --> 02:03:54.540 Has been forever 02:03:55.180 --> 02:03:59.980 Right, and if he gets third term barack comes out. That probably is where they get third term showdown 02:03:59.980 --> 02:04:03.080 This is the dwayne johnson johnsina showdown. That's right 02:04:03.080 --> 02:04:08.000 That's where they got the fan base the most polarized. So that's probably the best showdown they could have 02:04:08.000 --> 02:04:08.760 Yeah, that's what i'm saying 02:04:08.760 --> 02:04:13.720 So there's no way gavin Newsom or aoc pulls better than barack obama 02:04:14.250 --> 02:04:16.300 It's smack down. Well, I think 02:04:16.300 --> 02:04:20.760 Some of the stuff about obama he's not as I don't think he's as popular 02:04:21.220 --> 02:04:25.540 As he once was uh, especially with like the amount of bombs he dropped on everybody 02:04:26.060 --> 02:04:29.780 You think the democrats care about that? Well, I think I think a lot of the old 02:04:29.780 --> 02:04:35.240 They forget all that stuff. I think a lot of the people who voted for him in 2008 and 2012 are dead now 02:04:35.240 --> 02:04:37.380 Or getting close to 02:04:37.900 --> 02:04:43.020 Like I it's a 20. It's almost 20 years now people only remember the good stuff like yeah 02:04:43.020 --> 02:04:45.580 Like after george bush was done doing all his 02:04:46.240 --> 02:04:49.420 Absolutely horrible stuff people were like, oh man, he was a great president 02:04:50.680 --> 02:04:51.620 At the time 02:04:51.620 --> 02:04:55.840 The first time so he's still not too old to do it 02:04:55.840 --> 02:05:01.520 Yeah, I guess would you vote would you vote for him if you're any? No, I don't vote. You just want to watch it 02:05:01.520 --> 02:05:03.060 No, yes, I want the spectacle 02:05:04.020 --> 02:05:06.000 What why i'm here for the lulls 02:05:06.480 --> 02:05:11.420 Why would we vote? Well? Yeah, why would I vote? No? No? I think it's pointless too, but I've just uh 02:05:11.420 --> 02:05:13.620 I've got better things to do that day. I'm gonna take a nap 02:05:14.320 --> 02:05:17.800 Nap is far superior coming off the bench in priorities 02:05:18.860 --> 02:05:22.060 Just not off the bench. He's an all-star coming off the bench 02:05:22.060 --> 02:05:28.460 Well, that's what I mean. He's like out of retirement out of retirement in his prime and then stills got what it takes to take down trump 02:05:29.640 --> 02:05:33.840 Yeah, I don't know it would be it would be probably more entertaining that way 02:05:33.840 --> 02:05:36.340 I would go for that the debate alone 02:05:37.220 --> 02:05:38.020 Oh, man 02:05:38.520 --> 02:05:43.680 Oh, let me be clear.

So here I am 02:06:30.720 --> 02:06:31.920 Superman has returned 02:06:33.600 --> 02:06:34.160 Oh 02:06:34.160 --> 02:06:37.680 We've got a caller on the line. So we're going to go to the phones 02:06:38.300 --> 02:06:43.100 Looks like we've got tom in new hampshire. You're on free talk live. What's on your mind? 02:06:43.620 --> 02:06:45.680 Well, they choice of words here 02:06:46.320 --> 02:06:49.360 uh, choice they say that the coast guard 02:06:49.360 --> 02:06:49.980 seized 02:06:50.700 --> 02:06:53.300 An oil tanker off the coast of venezuela 02:06:54.240 --> 02:06:56.400 Why don't they say what? 02:06:57.100 --> 02:06:57.480 more 02:06:57.480 --> 02:07:04.520 Uh, what really happened is that the coast guard hijacked an oil tanker off the coast of venezuela 02:07:05.460 --> 02:07:07.940 You know, I mean, oh, well, it's sanctioned 02:07:07.940 --> 02:07:11.000 The u.s. government imposed sanctions on that vessel 02:07:11.580 --> 02:07:15.860 Excuse me governments cannot acquire authority by manufacturing documents 02:07:16.700 --> 02:07:22.140 okay, so, uh, the coast guard is they don't uh, just 02:07:22.140 --> 02:07:22.660 Uh 02:07:23.660 --> 02:07:29.420 Decaying people for deportation. They kidnap people. Okay, you know, they didn't uh, 02:07:30.240 --> 02:07:31.540 oil tankers so far 02:07:32.150 --> 02:07:35.460 They hijacked them. Okay, it's got it and now 02:07:35.950 --> 02:07:38.700 You can't propagandize the public with that rhetoric though 02:07:39.350 --> 02:07:44.120 Yeah, if you call it that then nobody's gonna support it and everybody would just be very upset 02:07:44.860 --> 02:07:49.220 Now the other thing is uh, the blockade of venezuela 02:07:50.180 --> 02:07:55.340 Now when uh, the cuban missile crisis was going on president kennedy 02:07:56.200 --> 02:07:59.020 talking of a military quarantine 02:07:59.800 --> 02:08:06.200 Of cuba that all ships of whatever port or country obviously bound for cuban port 02:08:06.200 --> 02:08:08.420 Will be boarded and searched 02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:15.480 Those bound to be carrying weapons of offensive weapons will be turned back 02:08:16.000 --> 02:08:17.700 okay, that's uh 02:08:17.700 --> 02:08:23.220 A quarantine is just short of a blockade a blockade is an act of war 02:08:23.820 --> 02:08:27.320 now, uh, the difference there is uh, just an 02:08:27.320 --> 02:08:32.200 The blockade is an act of war. Trump has crossed that line 02:08:32.860 --> 02:08:34.680 in committing an act of war 02:08:35.340 --> 02:08:37.880 a military blockade against venezuela 02:08:38.780 --> 02:08:41.640 and uh, it would be hilarious if 02:08:42.320 --> 02:08:49.200 The chinese coast guard decides to start escorting vessels to and from venezuela because they want the oil 02:08:49.200 --> 02:08:50.940 or for whatever other reason 02:08:51.640 --> 02:08:57.220 Then see what trump is going to do about it and then we have a world war three or russia 02:08:57.220 --> 02:09:01.020 Then we're one of you guys said that russia's already got a tanker in the area 02:09:01.020 --> 02:09:07.000 I heard a rumor of an unsubstantiated. All right. I don't know that's not what I would call hilarious though 02:09:07.000 --> 02:09:09.760 But uh, tom seems to think that would be funny 02:09:10.360 --> 02:09:11.480 There well 02:09:12.120 --> 02:09:17.160 The thing is uh, that one of these vessels I've written in the news that it was 02:09:17.880 --> 02:09:23.020 False flagged and that they can board it. But that doesn't mean that they can hijack it 02:09:23.020 --> 02:09:30.220 I mean governments cannot acquire a sorority by manufacturing documents and the reason they're running under false flags and without their 02:09:31.280 --> 02:09:37.260 Transponders or whatever you call them is because they don't want to get hijacked by the us coast guard 02:09:37.260 --> 02:09:39.620 So it's not really a false flag. It's witness protection 02:09:40.760 --> 02:09:44.040 Yeah, so we have to change our identity so you guys don't attack us 02:09:44.960 --> 02:09:45.920 Yeah, so 02:09:48.120 --> 02:09:48.600 that's uh 02:09:49.300 --> 02:09:50.820 Pretty much what it's like, uh 02:09:51.320 --> 02:09:57.300 The guy is a total crazy idiot. But what do you expect when you have a two-party system and one party? 02:09:58.640 --> 02:10:01.640 Nominates an old man who lost his marbles and the other party 02:10:02.260 --> 02:10:05.580 Nominates a madman who never had any marbles to begin with 02:10:05.580 --> 02:10:09.920 This is what happens. They've got to uh, adopt this 02:10:12.040 --> 02:10:13.700 Ranked choice voting 02:10:14.320 --> 02:10:18.540 Which I think would have motivated a lot more people to vote for other parties 02:10:19.180 --> 02:10:22.720 And then okay. Well, uh, who's worse trump or biden 02:10:23.200 --> 02:10:28.320 It would become a moot point if enough people would have been unafraid to vote for oliver 02:10:28.320 --> 02:10:30.340 But now you just get all these people saying 02:10:31.020 --> 02:10:31.580 Oliver 02:10:31.580 --> 02:10:32.920 Oh 02:10:33.580 --> 02:10:35.600 Or joe jorgensen the first time around 02:10:36.320 --> 02:10:38.440 Right, then you had your opportunity to like 02:10:38.440 --> 02:10:41.160 Actually elect the first female president 02:10:41.720 --> 02:10:43.120 Who wasn't a warmonger 02:10:43.800 --> 02:10:44.860 Or a deep stator 02:10:45.760 --> 02:10:53.740 I was the first one to sign her petition. It was outside the New Hampshire state house on the day of filing 02:10:54.500 --> 02:10:57.960 I was filing for congress and 02:10:57.960 --> 02:11:05.400 Well, no, I was filing for us senator and yes, she was filing for president and I was filing as 02:11:05.400 --> 02:11:08.320 a democrat at that time, but 02:11:09.500 --> 02:11:10.620 The thing is 02:11:11.460 --> 02:11:15.840 That I was the first one to sign the nomination paper in New Hampshire 02:11:16.640 --> 02:11:22.020 So, uh, then they got to have a lot more signatures and a lot more pay a lot more fees 02:11:22.520 --> 02:11:24.380 That I get listed in the ballot 02:11:24.380 --> 02:11:28.480 And that's in order to make it more difficult because, uh 02:11:29.020 --> 02:11:31.300 And then they won like cry babies when bad 02:11:31.300 --> 02:11:38.600 candidates get elected and they impose bad laws and people go cops get themselves killed enforcing those unjust laws 02:11:38.600 --> 02:11:42.240 Was she not on the ballot and all I thought she was on the ballot in all in all states 02:11:43.960 --> 02:11:45.960 There they have to spend a lot more time 02:11:45.960 --> 02:11:49.580 They make it more difficult for anybody who's not a republic rat 02:11:49.580 --> 02:11:52.240 So and then they were complaining when I got elected 02:11:52.240 --> 02:11:59.180 What's the big idea running as a republican, you know when when you're a libertarian? Well, what do you expect? 02:11:59.940 --> 02:12:01.320 You know, and it was true 02:12:01.320 --> 02:12:07.060 I I was a republican and I'm a republican now just ask the town clerk say yeah, he's a republican 02:12:07.680 --> 02:12:09.360 That's the definition of a republican 02:12:09.920 --> 02:12:12.220 And in fact, that's the definition of a libertarian 02:12:12.220 --> 02:12:19.220 Much to the dismay of some of the libertarian big shots in 2018 when I filed as a libertarian 02:12:19.220 --> 02:12:24.500 For the second district seat, which by the way is where keen new hampton where your studio is 02:12:24.500 --> 02:12:31.200 Uh, you're in that would have been mine if I had gotten elected and they had uh, justin o'Donnell 02:12:31.200 --> 02:12:33.820 He was the one that they wanted to run 02:12:33.820 --> 02:12:39.300 Uh, I lost in the primary. He did not defeat me the people who voted for him defeated me 02:12:39.300 --> 02:12:41.580 It's not like we were playing chess where one person 02:12:41.580 --> 02:12:46.520 Uh, where the two players make the move that win or lose the game 02:12:46.520 --> 02:12:51.140 Is what is not as if there was uh, that going on 02:12:52.180 --> 02:12:55.860 Libertarians do seem to be strategically incompetent in a lot of ways 02:12:56.580 --> 02:13:00.660 Well, the party's hijacked for one for how long 02:13:01.320 --> 02:13:05.280 Forever. Okay. Look at look at the contradictions of the status 02:13:05.800 --> 02:13:09.220 Well, if you don't like the laws of the cops and force and change the laws 02:13:09.780 --> 02:13:12.660 Well, excuse me.

Oh, no, you're not allowed to intimidate the voters 02:13:29.200 --> 02:13:33.560 Well, that how are we supposed to get them to stop voting wrong? 02:13:33.740 --> 02:13:38.360 And you know, uh, if you park in a crosswalk and you got to pay the price in dollars 02:13:38.360 --> 02:13:43.440 That's a deterrent and if they vote wrong and you know, somebody's got to tell you 02:13:43.440 --> 02:13:49.060 You see those five cops that got themselves shot on 12 april 2012 in the town of greenland new hampshire 02:13:49.060 --> 02:13:52.440 See, that's what happened. You didn't pull the trigger, but you pulled the lever 02:13:52.440 --> 02:13:56.740 And folks don't line like a cry baby every time some poor defenseless cop 02:13:56.740 --> 02:14:01.180 To this to get themselves killed that one of them the green land police chief died 02:14:01.180 --> 02:14:05.140 The other four got shot and wounded and if any of them are listening right now 02:14:05.140 --> 02:14:11.380 It serves your right punk because you deliberately and maliciously joined an organized force 02:14:11.380 --> 02:14:17.040 That is on a mission to intimidate the humans into obeying a multitude of blatantly unjust laws 02:14:17.040 --> 02:14:21.040 I'll suggest that if the park if the party's been hijacked forever, that's the party 02:14:21.780 --> 02:14:25.000 Right like that's it is what it is hijacked or not 02:14:25.000 --> 02:14:29.140 The people that were originally there and have been kicked out due to the hijacking 02:14:29.780 --> 02:14:34.200 Has have what 50 years now to to reform another third party 02:14:34.760 --> 02:14:37.720 And just let the libertarian party be the hijacked party 02:14:37.720 --> 02:14:42.440 Yeah, you can't have you can't have a party that's not willing to play ball with 02:14:42.440 --> 02:14:43.500 You know that 02:14:44.160 --> 02:14:47.800 I don't know whatever you want to call it the deep right.

They have the money 02:14:55.780 --> 02:14:59.460 Are you suggesting that the the two party system hijacked the libertarian party? 02:15:00.440 --> 02:15:02.580 The oil company, yeah, well 02:15:03.360 --> 02:15:04.980 Simply put yeah, okay 02:15:05.640 --> 02:15:13.240 The united states has fought wars over oil there. The venezuela is loaded with oil iraq was loaded with oil 02:15:13.240 --> 02:15:22.480 I mean, uh, these uh, they us the central intelligence agency ran a fake news operation in 1953 to topple the 02:15:22.480 --> 02:15:28.540 duly elected leader, uh, president of iran who wanted to nationalize british petroleum 02:15:29.100 --> 02:15:36.340 And because oh no, we can't let them decide who is going to sell and operate the oil in that country 02:15:36.340 --> 02:15:41.940 It's their country is that's our oil because we're us a you know, this whole attitude and 02:15:41.940 --> 02:15:48.200 Uh on top of that during the second world war general eisenhower made a cross country trip 02:15:48.200 --> 02:15:54.640 A road trip just to write down all the stupid things with the different roads and everything a lack of signs 02:15:55.360 --> 02:15:59.360 Whatever problems they ran into and said, you know, this would be a whole lot better 02:15:59.360 --> 02:16:05.440 If we had a super highway from coast to coast and so that's why it's called the eisenhower interstate system 02:16:05.440 --> 02:16:10.500 After he got into the president. Yes, and they foolishly have eisenhower interstate system in hawai 02:16:11.640 --> 02:16:19.400 Oh, yeah interstate h1 and interstate h2 out there on oahu island and you've got uh, the 02:16:20.240 --> 02:16:24.020 But it's not a system is doesn't connect to any other state 02:16:24.020 --> 02:16:28.180 Yeah, it's not exactly interstate is it but it's part of the eisenhower interstate system 02:16:29.000 --> 02:16:32.980 It's um thing is that you've got these people, uh 02:16:32.980 --> 02:16:37.940 building these interstate highways and then uh, they're also 02:16:38.460 --> 02:16:42.000 They got everybody brainwashed into thinking that it's perfectly okay 02:16:42.000 --> 02:16:44.840 Not to give a flying duck about pedestrians 02:16:44.840 --> 02:16:49.360 Let's plow the snow off the street onto the sidewalk and just leave it there and somehow 02:16:49.960 --> 02:16:54.660 Everybody is so many people are convinced that the street is the city's job 02:16:54.660 --> 02:16:58.900 But the sidewalk is not even if you draw the property line 02:16:58.900 --> 02:17:02.500 It is the sidewalk part of the city land 02:17:02.500 --> 02:17:10.480 If so, then why should the homeowner have to shovel it and if it's part of the property owner the homeowner's land 02:17:10.480 --> 02:17:17.600 Then doesn't the homeowner by rights have a right to dig up the sidewalk and put in flower beds and prohibit trespass on 02:17:17.600 --> 02:17:20.440 I mean, I don't I don't know exactly where you live and you don't have to share it 02:17:20.440 --> 02:17:21.580 But I live in manchester 02:17:22.100 --> 02:17:26.780 And when they plow the snow and it ends up on the sidewalk the pedestrians just walk in the street 02:17:27.360 --> 02:17:29.400 And the cars are just more aware of the pedestrians 02:17:30.000 --> 02:17:37.800 and and people get killed in february of 2014 robert de rome 63 year old man was killed 02:17:37.800 --> 02:17:40.500 In nashua by a hit-and-run driver 02:17:40.500 --> 02:17:48.200 Uh walking had to walk in west holla street because the punks plow snow off the street onto the sidewalk and leave it there 02:17:48.200 --> 02:17:54.160 And there's no place to shovel it too because okay buildings are right up against i mean one one death in 11 years 02:17:54.160 --> 02:17:56.740 Is not a very compelling argument to not do that 02:17:57.280 --> 02:18:02.540 I I realized but that that's not the only time that it's happened. That's just the only one 02:18:02.540 --> 02:18:08.640 I can remove arriving in and having a cop tell me to turn around and go the wrong way on a one-way street and 02:18:09.180 --> 02:18:14.140 Later learning that yes, they have that right they can overrule any traffic control device 02:18:14.140 --> 02:18:19.240 Which is you know makes sense because the sign cannot think okay, so yeah, okay 02:18:19.240 --> 02:18:24.000 I really well. Yeah, they have to close the intersection and I have to turn around and go the other way 02:18:24.000 --> 02:18:28.420 I don't have a I got waved through a red light. I just drove right through it per the cop's instruction 02:18:29.060 --> 02:18:30.100 Yeah, and 02:18:30.700 --> 02:18:36.400 That's because of a traffic light can't think so. I don't really have a problem with that 02:18:36.400 --> 02:18:38.580 Okay, I don't know what point you're driving at 02:18:39.380 --> 02:18:40.160 Is that 02:18:40.160 --> 02:18:45.080 Well, you're trying to walk home from the saloon after you've had a drink or 10 at some corners 02:18:45.080 --> 02:18:47.120 You don't even find a painted crosswalk 02:18:47.120 --> 02:18:54.200 But when this freight train is crossing the street people who could get killed are people in cars people who matter 02:18:54.200 --> 02:19:00.880 So lights flash bells clang gates drop and the horn sounds to protect people in cars 02:19:00.880 --> 02:19:04.840 And when let's see no, do you need a crosswalk to tell you it's safe to cross the street? 02:19:05.780 --> 02:19:07.720 Uh, no, I don't but uh 02:19:08.240 --> 02:19:12.240 Help if there was a crosswalk lights if they have money for traffic lights 02:19:12.240 --> 02:19:15.060 They got money for crosswalk. You just wait till it's safe. Yeah 02:19:15.740 --> 02:19:22.000 But then what about all these safety features actually make things less safe because pedestrians think they have the right 02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:26.620 Away and they'll step out into the crosswalk.

I think we only got through like two and a half stories 02:25:47.840 --> 02:25:48.660 That's pretty good 02:25:50.300 --> 02:25:52.900 Since the news usually bores the academy 02:25:52.900 --> 02:25:59.100 I guess there was some like epstein file stuff released. I heard that they didn't release it though 02:25:59.100 --> 02:26:07.120 They released it like completely redacted. Yeah, I heard I heard there were like a bunch of play pages that were just straight black 02:26:07.280 --> 02:26:11.760 Like not even white spaces in between. So it's just the whole page is black 02:26:11.760 --> 02:26:14.260 This is me giving them the benefit of the doubt 02:26:14.760 --> 02:26:16.200 right i'm assuming 02:26:16.820 --> 02:26:18.560 that those particular pages 02:26:19.400 --> 02:26:20.600 are uh 02:26:20.600 --> 02:26:22.600 child sex abuse photos 02:26:23.280 --> 02:26:26.020 That probably ought to be redacted in some form 02:26:26.640 --> 02:26:34.500 I'm sure that's the justification they would use but I i'm assuming that what's actually on those pages says a bunch of dirty stuff about trump 02:26:34.500 --> 02:26:40.660 Right, but if it were words on the page, it would be like the full page would be redacted like they do words and you would have the white spaces 02:26:41.260 --> 02:26:43.440 There's no reason to black out the whole page 02:26:43.440 --> 02:26:46.140 What I would have preferred if they blacked out a photo 02:26:46.540 --> 02:26:51.820 Right, you black out the photo and then you just say photo photo redacted photo redacted 02:26:51.820 --> 02:26:54.660 Right, and then we know like okay. This was a picture 02:26:55.140 --> 02:26:59.120 You know, this is not for you know pedophiles to try to get some more material 02:26:59.620 --> 02:27:01.160 for their like little collection 02:27:02.500 --> 02:27:02.860 so 02:27:03.720 --> 02:27:08.760 That's just be giving them the benefit of doubt. Obviously. I have no idea, but that makes the most sense to me 02:27:09.480 --> 02:27:10.380 Yeah, I think 02:27:10.380 --> 02:27:15.920 Well, the and well, there's nothing in the words that they put out either they redacted all the words too 02:27:15.920 --> 02:27:19.400 Right, but the words that they redacted weren't blacked out the whole page, right? 02:27:19.480 --> 02:27:22.500 They were line by line and you could see the white space between the lines like 02:27:23.560 --> 02:27:28.540 Yes, and then or you knew how many paragraphs there were or whatever sure 02:27:28.540 --> 02:27:33.560 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm you know, I'm presuming that the whole page blackouts a photo of some kind 02:27:33.560 --> 02:27:38.220 So is anybody buying this one that it's that this is all the deeds they have on it? 02:27:38.320 --> 02:27:43.180 Yeah, and they redacted everything that said Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent and this was all 02:27:44.800 --> 02:27:45.680 A setup 02:27:46.220 --> 02:27:52.260 And it has been for a long time Maxwell's father was definitely a Mossad agent and that wasn't even a secret 02:27:52.260 --> 02:27:57.380 Oh, you mean the guy that also owned the books that you read in school 02:27:58.620 --> 02:28:04.660 Yeah, that Robert Maxwell from the Maxwell house publishing book. I'm pretty sure he owned that too 02:28:05.380 --> 02:28:05.700 Yeah 02:28:05.700 --> 02:28:09.840 CMBC has a story here that I probably won't read but it's 02:28:10.260 --> 02:28:17.080 The doj restores image showing trump after backlash the the gist of it is that there was there's this picture of 02:28:17.820 --> 02:28:23.180 Epstein's desk and it's got a bunch of you know framed pictures on it and uh 02:28:23.180 --> 02:28:26.440 Two of those pictures have trump in them 02:28:27.280 --> 02:28:29.220 And they removed 02:28:29.880 --> 02:28:31.180 They removed that 02:28:31.800 --> 02:28:37.860 Photo from their website and then put it back. Okay after people got upset. Yeah, that shouldn't be redacted 02:28:37.860 --> 02:28:44.100 You're not protecting anybody's identity with that right the excuse they used well. Okay, so they said they took it down 02:28:44.680 --> 02:28:49.120 Uh to comply with part of a federal court order aimed at protecting victims 02:28:49.940 --> 02:28:50.220 so 02:28:50.900 --> 02:28:53.940 I don't know if there were like victims in the photos on here 02:28:53.940 --> 02:28:58.000 I mean you've got read it all over right like this you can see the 02:28:58.640 --> 02:29:03.460 Adolescent feet in this picture. We need to find out who the girl is like no, you don't 02:29:04.100 --> 02:29:06.220 It's adolescent feet say no more 02:29:07.180 --> 02:29:11.180 Yeah, you knew they had youngins in the office doing whatever they were doing 02:29:12.380 --> 02:29:12.860 Yep 02:29:13.900 --> 02:29:17.260 You don't need you don't need to go like sleuthing to find the victims 02:29:17.820 --> 02:29:19.600 That's not the purpose of this endeavor 02:29:20.760 --> 02:29:25.880 No, yeah, I don't care not that I don't care about who the victim was 02:29:25.880 --> 02:29:29.100 I'm more concerned about who was in the room with 02:29:29.760 --> 02:29:33.440 This underage person. I don't really care about who the underage person is 02:29:33.440 --> 02:29:37.820 I just know they're underage and they're in a room full of a bunch of rich powerful people 02:29:38.480 --> 02:29:42.560 Doing god knows what so in those photos. I don't think you need to redact the whole photo 02:29:42.560 --> 02:29:47.060 Just like the the the part of the photo that shows the underage victim 02:29:47.620 --> 02:29:52.800 Yeah, right well, so and that's the thing too is they keep redirecting the story as if it's a story about 02:29:53.460 --> 02:29:54.300 victims of 02:29:54.300 --> 02:30:00.020 You know sexual predation that's not what this story is about that's a component of it 02:30:00.020 --> 02:30:03.300 That is that's the component of the story how they use 02:30:03.880 --> 02:30:07.220 That type of material to keep people under their control 02:30:07.220 --> 02:30:13.260 It's a blackmail operation run by an intelligence agency. That's the story, but they don't 02:30:13.930 --> 02:30:17.560 By only talking about victim protection and things like that 02:30:17.560 --> 02:30:19.700 They make the story only about that 02:30:20.300 --> 02:30:25.200 And then Trump's like epstein who and then his guy's like oh epstein definitely killed himself and 02:30:25.720 --> 02:30:32.100 You know and half of trump's base is outraged by it. It's weird that jeffrey epstein's the only pedophile that people want to be alive 02:30:34.600 --> 02:30:39.420 That is a good point never thought of it that way we would have chopped them into a wood shipper 02:30:40.260 --> 02:30:42.740 And they did and they're like oh, I can't do that 02:30:42.740 --> 02:30:46.460 That's a photo killed himself. It's not so much that people want him to be alive 02:30:46.460 --> 02:30:51.020 It's that people know that he was killed to keep secrets. Okay, so 02:30:52.220 --> 02:30:54.200 So that's what that whole thing is about 02:30:54.200 --> 02:31:00.020 I don't know if you've seen those videos of he's kept them alive long enough to default his information before you put 02:31:00.020 --> 02:31:00.760 him in the wood shipper 02:31:02.700 --> 02:31:08.240 Yeah, I guess I mean, I don't know whatever how these uh blackmail rings work exactly 02:31:08.240 --> 02:31:09.080 I just 02:31:10.260 --> 02:31:15.500 There's enough there to see that that's clearly what was going on. Okay, and uh, and that's the story that 02:31:15.500 --> 02:31:19.600 Well, but this is the same thing they did the diddy right the whole thing was did he was using 02:31:20.160 --> 02:31:24.060 This blackmail to kind of control the music industry and then they took them to court 02:31:24.640 --> 02:31:27.000 And all they kind of charged them with was 02:31:27.680 --> 02:31:31.240 Using hookers that was yeah, and that's all that was a conviction.

So is that just uh, is that uh, is that more of a 02:33:28.560 --> 02:33:32.140 Critique on the other rappers or these people he's he's uh, apparently 02:33:32.680 --> 02:33:37.100 I'm saying if he keeps running his mouth, someone's gonna shoot him and he's not gonna survive the 10th one 02:33:37.780 --> 02:33:38.940 I don't think he cares 02:33:39.520 --> 02:33:46.180 The fine if he doesn't care, but if the goal is to like stay alive if he's got like the biological imperative for life 02:33:46.980 --> 02:33:52.940 He's probably just keep his mouth shut to quote him many men with wish death upon me 02:33:52.940 --> 02:33:56.380 Yes, I get it because because he's survived 02:33:56.960 --> 02:34:00.280 So many and I just don't think he's got another survival in him 02:34:00.280 --> 02:34:03.180 You think this is the last one he's got to watch out what he says about 02:34:04.020 --> 02:34:08.160 What I'm saying is if he runs his mouth the wrong way and someone does take a shot at him 02:34:08.160 --> 02:34:09.680 They will make sure that he is in the grave 02:34:09.680 --> 02:34:13.900 You think so the next one is gonna count is what you're saying. That's that's all I'm saying 02:34:13.900 --> 02:34:14.380 All right 02:34:14.380 --> 02:34:16.560 I'm not saying someone should or that they would 02:34:16.560 --> 02:34:20.780 But I'm saying if you survive if you got shot nine times and survived like nine 02:34:21.260 --> 02:34:25.640 Nine attempts on your life, right? You've ran out of luck and the 10th one's gonna matter 02:34:25.640 --> 02:34:30.020 Well, maybe he just thinks he's the greatest he might think that but he's still human 02:34:30.680 --> 02:34:31.740 He's not a god 02:34:32.200 --> 02:34:33.700 I don't know the history of 02:34:34.980 --> 02:34:36.760 assassination attempts on 50 cent 02:34:38.180 --> 02:34:40.300 Nine attempts get nine attempts 02:34:41.500 --> 02:34:41.940 That's 02:34:42.540 --> 02:34:44.140 Or whatever or he got shot nine times 02:34:44.140 --> 02:34:45.420 That's why when he first came out 02:34:45.420 --> 02:34:48.640 He's like wearing the bulletproof vest and it was part of his stick and his gimmick 02:34:48.640 --> 02:34:52.380 Well, if you saw his teeth his teeth used to be messed up really early in his career 02:34:52.380 --> 02:34:56.500 And then he got his jaw blown off and then to refix it. So he got all new teeth 02:34:56.960 --> 02:34:58.200 Yeah, fix his smile 02:35:01.080 --> 02:35:04.620 I didn't know anything any any of that stuff about that guy 02:35:05.160 --> 02:35:06.560 It's okay. I'm just saying 02:35:07.120 --> 02:35:11.520 Like the next one the next one's gonna count, you know, you don't get to survive that many attempts 02:35:13.200 --> 02:35:14.080 Especially snitching 02:35:14.620 --> 02:35:17.320 I don't know. There's what George Washington had like 02:35:18.240 --> 02:35:22.580 He's snitching. Maybe he's magical like that. Well, is he that's only four we got like 02:35:23.160 --> 02:35:26.420 Twice that industry like I don't think he's really talking about like 02:35:27.400 --> 02:35:28.420 Who who cares? 02:35:28.940 --> 02:35:34.400 Who does he have any loyalty to the to the music industry? Is it would it really be snitching at that point? 02:35:34.920 --> 02:35:40.960 It's not like these are his friends. These are obviously ops and he's just airing their stuff out for everybody to laugh at 02:35:40.960 --> 02:35:47.100 Yeah, that's the point that's the point of snitching right like he's airing. He's got nothing to do with the diddy parties 02:35:48.100 --> 02:35:54.060 Right and he's just going like I've I've got the receipts. It's gonna be me who shows up their receipts 02:35:54.640 --> 02:35:56.880 I will let the public know what really went on 02:35:56.880 --> 02:36:01.720 Because I got their receipts. I could say any of his business. Well, he might be the only one who's 02:36:02.360 --> 02:36:06.820 Powerful enough to drop the receipts and not worry about any repercussions though. They had it all 02:36:06.820 --> 02:36:08.140 They had a whole bunch of the court 02:36:08.680 --> 02:36:11.920 They had all the evidence. They just couldn't get a conviction on the important stuff 02:36:13.740 --> 02:36:17.600 Well, I did you I also heard that there uh was like a huge 02:36:18.040 --> 02:36:22.500 Some guy after the fact did like an interview and it turns out that he was like 02:36:23.020 --> 02:36:26.780 He he was a diehard diddy fan the whole time just lied to stay on 02:36:26.780 --> 02:36:31.940 Like in the court. Okay, so he notified the jury good on him. It's part of the american system 02:36:33.080 --> 02:36:35.920 Well, I just don't think he was gonna get in trouble for any of it to begin with 02:36:35.920 --> 02:36:39.340 This was just like a horse and pony show they tried it him out to make it look like hey 02:36:39.340 --> 02:36:42.040 We're gonna do something about this guy and then just didn't well 02:36:42.040 --> 02:36:45.960 I mean they got him on the lesser stuff that does the non the non crime stuff 02:36:46.500 --> 02:36:49.860 And they're appealing that right now. Sure. We'll see if that even holds up 02:36:49.860 --> 02:36:54.880 Did he's not going to spend a day in actual prison? He's been in actual prison. They wouldn't let him out 02:36:55.460 --> 02:37:00.140 Yeah, he was in jail or prison like those are two like I don't know. He was locked up 02:37:00.140 --> 02:37:01.660 I'm sure they treated him very nicely 02:37:02.280 --> 02:37:04.320 I I wonder if that whole thing was 02:37:04.320 --> 02:37:10.140 You know wwe style just it all acts. It all is at this point. Yeah 02:37:10.820 --> 02:37:12.800 Was your time to go on trial diddy 02:37:12.800 --> 02:37:16.540 Yeah, I freak off. I really feel like every time they run a story like that 02:37:16.540 --> 02:37:21.240 They're trying real hard to not have you look at something that's actually important. All right 02:37:22.660 --> 02:37:23.140 But 02:37:23.720 --> 02:37:24.680 Yeah, who knows 02:37:25.360 --> 02:37:28.620 And blackmail only works if you're embarrassed and care about what you're doing 02:37:30.920 --> 02:37:33.860 And I think it was a Walter block somebody 02:37:34.500 --> 02:37:37.900 It's some libertarian theorist that defended blackmail 02:37:38.440 --> 02:37:42.300 Like of course you can do that. Do you have the information they want to suppress it? 02:37:42.700 --> 02:37:46.500 It's a it's a it's a voluntary transaction to suppress the information for money 02:37:47.740 --> 02:37:54.620 So even the blackmail is not even violation libertarian. So then how about that same logic snitching though is also defensible 02:37:55.300 --> 02:38:01.180 Yeah, fine, but it's like open market then the open market's getting to decide on if this guy's worth doing business with 02:38:01.180 --> 02:38:04.020 If you yeah, but it's but it's culturally unacceptable 02:38:04.700 --> 02:38:06.900 Within the rap game. Oh american culture is 02:38:07.660 --> 02:38:08.800 garbage anyway, so 02:38:08.800 --> 02:38:11.480 I don't know. I mean 02:38:11.480 --> 02:38:17.420 Yeah, I see I see what you're saying that is the reality that you'll deal with snitching. He's absolutely allowed to do dead 02:38:17.420 --> 02:38:21.720 Stitches, I don't think they necessarily ought always get stitches 02:38:21.720 --> 02:38:26.800 Well, he's also come out and kind of like made fun of like the hood mindset of like staying in there 02:38:26.800 --> 02:38:29.900 He wants to be as far away from that stuff as possible. He's a businessman 02:38:30.400 --> 02:38:33.160 He want he's gone full capitalist grind set 02:38:33.680 --> 02:38:39.560 Um, he wants to make money. So like forget the hood forget loyalties. Um, I'll air it out if it makes me money 02:38:39.560 --> 02:38:42.980 And it's gonna make him money because people are watching it. It's gonna get him shot 02:38:43.580 --> 02:38:43.980 Yeah 02:38:44.740 --> 02:38:47.820 Good well, I mean it makes enough money to make up for getting shot again 02:38:47.820 --> 02:38:52.540 Wanted to help the hood and they shot him too. So what what do you what what's the 02:38:53.140 --> 02:38:56.860 Uh, what do you you get shot if you help him you get shot if you don't 02:38:57.820 --> 02:39:02.740 That's that's part of the rap culture. Yeah, true. True. That is that is part of the 02:39:02.740 --> 02:39:05.200 Beef on the next album or beef in the streets 02:39:08.560 --> 02:39:13.240 Rapper beef, what do you think about the the whole part about him saying did he had something to do with 02:39:13.680 --> 02:39:14.920 pock and biggie's death 02:39:15.620 --> 02:39:18.960 Do you think that would be do you think there's anything to that or 02:39:19.400 --> 02:39:22.580 I mean if he's got the receipts drop the receipts or keep your mouth shut 02:39:22.580 --> 02:39:26.400 All right. Hi there. Have you watched the have you watched the uh 02:39:27.540 --> 02:39:29.760 I think you should go go take a peek 02:39:29.760 --> 02:39:33.300 Maybe see see what 50 has to say about it. Maybe he's got some receipts 02:39:33.300 --> 02:39:36.180 I don't want to be I don't want to participate in this snitching 02:39:38.040 --> 02:39:41.220 He don't want to get rolled up on for I don't want to know 02:39:41.220 --> 02:39:43.480 So she hated you don't want to know you didn't hear nothing 02:39:43.480 --> 02:39:46.620 If you're gonna do it put it in the album just keep your mouth shut 02:39:47.620 --> 02:39:48.660 Put it in the album 02:39:49.420 --> 02:39:52.820 Oh, that's pretty good. Should be a diss track not an abc interview 02:39:54.800 --> 02:39:57.900 That's crazy. I didn't know we were on a no jumper right now 02:39:59.180 --> 02:40:01.840 Uh dj vlad. Where are we at? Um 02:40:03.020 --> 02:40:04.040 Man, I don't know 02:40:04.740 --> 02:40:10.060 Uh, I think the rap beefs have been going on since the beginning of rap and it's always been 02:40:11.280 --> 02:40:13.920 Tie it back to the blackmail thing. Um 02:40:13.920 --> 02:40:16.760 Okay, if you're gonna do it, it's like a business practice 02:40:16.760 --> 02:40:22.580 But is it something that should be going on in the idea of like buying off your politicians with said blackmail 02:40:23.120 --> 02:40:29.880 Is that so how does how does your guide the blackmail only works because there are things that are like culturally 02:40:30.860 --> 02:40:33.880 Uh abhorrent right that they want to engage in 02:40:34.360 --> 02:40:36.080 It's like yucking on somebody's yum 02:40:36.660 --> 02:40:43.540 Right if you want to go have like if the the only reason having like gay orgies as a politics as a republican politician is bad 02:40:44.120 --> 02:40:48.360 Right is because people frown upon gay orgies, especially if you're a republican politician 02:40:48.960 --> 02:40:52.220 But if it were like culturally acceptable to just have a gay orgy 02:40:52.220 --> 02:40:58.020 Then you can't blackmail a politician for participating in one because it's just a normal thing to do true 02:40:58.020 --> 02:41:02.620 But do you do you really want to just live in the not saying that gay orgies are bad 02:41:03.100 --> 02:41:04.320 But that's just kind of 02:41:04.320 --> 02:41:11.340 Yeah, yeah, not that there's anything wrong with that, but i'm just saying a world with zero shame 02:41:11.980 --> 02:41:12.620 Is that 02:41:13.180 --> 02:41:15.380 Something we're trying to rock with 02:41:15.900 --> 02:41:21.260 I don't I I want uh, I want shame to be associated with like rights violations 02:41:21.820 --> 02:41:25.120 Not personal preferences in what you do in your free time. That's fair 02:41:25.120 --> 02:41:30.500 But isn't isn't society always going to find things that they the society itself finds abhorrent 02:41:31.060 --> 02:41:33.640 Yes, and that's why blackmail can't exist 02:41:34.580 --> 02:41:34.980 Right 02:41:35.600 --> 02:41:40.760 Like that's the problem. I guess so the church church lady is gonna be like, oh, we don't like sodomy and demora 02:41:40.760 --> 02:41:43.960 You're like, all right. Well, I guess I got to pay the fee in order to be the pastor 02:41:44.380 --> 02:41:46.360 Like all right pay the fee then 02:41:48.900 --> 02:41:53.080 Oh, all right. Here's a funny one. We probably got time to kind of get into 02:41:53.620 --> 02:41:59.480 This is from the verge frozen waymo's backed up san francisco traffic during a widespread power outage 02:41:59.980 --> 02:42:06.640 Uh-oh a power outage struck san francisco on saturday that blacked out about 130 thousand customers at its peak 02:42:06.640 --> 02:42:12.080 According to pacific gas and electric company. Oh pg and e those guys are so good at their jobs 02:42:12.080 --> 02:42:15.080 But also cost another problem stranded waymo vehicles 02:42:15.720 --> 02:42:21.620 Posts all over social media showed the company's autonomous suv sitting in the streets and causing traffic jams 02:42:21.620 --> 02:42:23.080 I saw one going the wrong way 02:42:23.080 --> 02:42:27.700 Is it because the wi-fi not got knocked out or what happened? What is that? 02:42:27.700 --> 02:42:34.840 I'm not sure some people posted videos of tesla's using their fsd feature to navigate the same streets and ilan must tweeted that 02:42:35.460 --> 02:42:39.800 Tesla robo taxis were unaffected by the san francisco power outage 02:42:40.480 --> 02:42:45.520 In response to an inquiry from the verge waymo's spokesperson susanne filion said 02:42:46.100 --> 02:42:53.100 Sent a statement saying we have temporarily suspended our ride hailing services giving given the broad power outage in san francisco 02:42:53.100 --> 02:42:57.840 We are focused on keeping our riders safe and ensuring emergency personnel have 02:42:58.490 --> 02:43:03.570 The clear access they need to do their work pg and e reported as of 7 a.m 02:43:04.160 --> 02:43:07.860 pacific time that cruise over stored about 110 000 customers 02:43:08.840 --> 02:43:16.120 Uh, it's because the indians in the call center couldn't actually see the road anymore exactly why the cars weren't moving remains unclear with no public updates 02:43:16.120 --> 02:43:19.480 We couldn't we could find on the company's social media channels 02:43:19.480 --> 02:43:28.240 But speculation centered on spotty wireless data connections with cell towers either down or overloaded by people who no longer had access to wi-fi 02:43:28.780 --> 02:43:31.940 And or the street lights that weren't operating without power 02:43:33.540 --> 02:43:34.880 So wait hold on 02:43:35.260 --> 02:43:41.900 You think you think the waymo cars are pilot or they're they're remote piloted by a bunch of indians 02:43:41.900 --> 02:43:47.360 There have been several instances where the autonomous robotaxi companies have been caught 02:43:48.160 --> 02:43:50.440 Under that very condition. Maybe not indians 02:43:51.480 --> 02:43:52.760 But when like 02:43:53.180 --> 02:43:58.620 They weren't actually robos. They were like cheap cheap layover in a call center remotely driving the vehicles 02:43:59.440 --> 02:44:00.040 Wow 02:44:01.440 --> 02:44:04.380 I'd much rather have a robot than some stranger 02:44:05.000 --> 02:44:05.600 sure 02:44:06.800 --> 02:44:09.220 Especially one bad day, dude, and he's like 02:44:10.400 --> 02:44:17.240 I've had enough i'm taking this family out but gps gps isn't reliant upon the the 02:44:17.800 --> 02:44:18.980 The electrical grid 02:44:19.520 --> 02:44:24.980 Right that works from the satellites.
