This week has been fun.1900:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,700It's been a good week at work.2000:01:02,700 --> 00:01:08,600No real drama at work. I'm just assimilating to the kitchen at Roo's Chris.2100:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,400That's been fun. I really want to upgrade my own kitchenware.2200:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,600I need to do that. I need more knives, new knives.2300:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,000I need new cutting boards. I need a new sink. I need more water.2400:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,500I need an entirely new countertop, folks. I want to upgrade everything.2500:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,000Being in the kitchen has really taught me that you need a sharp knife2600:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,500and you need a lot of space. And that's like my dream kitchen.2700:01:32,500 --> 00:01:37,500I would love there to be this dope industrial kitchen in my future home.2800:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,000Would anyone else want that? Does anyone else want that life?2900:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,700Come on. Come on.3000:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,300This week, I'm doing a little project, a little presidential project, folks.3100:01:46,300 --> 00:01:51,100We're coming up to the 2024 election cycle and I know everyone's afraid.3200:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,800Everyone's like weirded out by it, man.3300:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,400But we are going to get through this and we have some candidates that are running.3400:02:00,400 --> 00:02:07,700And today I'm focusing on RFK Jr., Robert Kennedy Jr.3500:02:07,700 --> 00:02:12,300I guarantee you the perspective that I'm about to bring you is absolutely unique.3600:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,300So please stick around for that.3700:02:14,300 --> 00:02:17,300Later in the show, I'm going to be sharing more business plans,3800:02:17,300 --> 00:02:22,300more Bitcoin business plans that I have for my own creative stuff, for my own movie.3900:02:22,300 --> 00:02:27,300Stick around towards the end to hear that update on that. I think it's a really good idea.4000:02:27,300 --> 00:02:32,300Just combining Bitcoin with art, combining Bitcoin with anything, you know,4100:02:32,300 --> 00:02:34,800just makes it better. Spoiler alert.4200:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,300Basically, you put Bitcoin with anything and all of a sudden that is more efficient.4300:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,300RFK has been talked about a lot this week.4400:02:41,300 --> 00:02:45,300Last week on America Plus, I pulled some clips from Joe Rogan.4500:02:45,300 --> 00:02:51,800So last week he was on, RFK Jr. was on the Joe Rogan Experience and it went ballistic.4600:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,800It went absolutely, totally just berserko.4700:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,800Everyone was talking about it.4800:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,800I'm not just talking about like anyone.4900:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,800Like I really truly mean everyone was talking about RFK on Rogan.5000:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800Really fascinating to hear.5100:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,800Of course, when you listen to the Adam Curry podcast, they're talking about how5200:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,800he's been always open about vaccines.5300:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,800He's been on the cautious side for decades of vaccines.5400:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,800He's been supporting women.5500:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,800He's been supporting the environment for all his life.5600:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,800And all you gotta do is do a simple Google search on the guy and see what he's been about.5700:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,800You know, clearly, you know, his family's been on politics.5800:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800We all know that, yada yada.5900:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,800But what I didn't know this, he's a falconer.6000:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,800He's a professional falcon trainer.6100:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,800And he's been doing that since he was a kid, since he was 11 years old.6200:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,800So just a fun fact of that, like wow, right off the bat this guy loves the animals.6300:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,800I like that.6400:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,800And he's also an experienced white water rapids kayaker.6500:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,800And those two like athletic and like environmental things I thought was interesting, you know.6600:04:01,800 --> 00:04:08,800Everyone always focuses on the vaccines, everyone always focuses on the lawsuits and Monsanto and all this.6700:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,800And you know, I'm really looking for a different perspective.6800:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,800I'm looking for a new narrative, a different narrative for my president.6900:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,800I'm not saying that I'm voting for RFK Jr. right now, but what I am willing to do is to explore his words,7000:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,800to explore the mindset that is coming from his campaign.7100:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,800And you know, and surrounding it as well.7200:04:31,800 --> 00:04:39,800I'm focusing on, today I'm focusing on the people who are speaking to Kennedy, along with what Kennedy is saying.7300:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,800And we're focusing on spirituality.7400:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,800Most of this talk is going to be focused on his spirit.7500:04:47,800 --> 00:04:55,800Is this spirit, is this energy the right type of energy we need in the White House?7600:04:55,800 --> 00:05:03,800Can this energy, is there a new type of energy that can change our system of politics?7700:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,800You know, it's not a clear answer, it's not a clear solution, you know, it's not a clear problem.7800:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,800It's not a very simple problem.7900:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,800And so I just want to be absolutely clear.8000:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,800I hope if you've listened to any second of me speak, of course I have zero answers.8100:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800I just have a bunch of convictions.8200:05:20,800 --> 00:05:29,800But hopefully these people's convictions can hopefully lead us to a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible.8300:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,800I'll get more into that in a little bit.8400:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,800When it comes to the spirituality of Kennedy,8500:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,800I now, okay, full disclosure, I didn't listen to the whole episode of Rogue and I listened to like three quarters of it,8600:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,800so they could have talked about it in that back quarter.8700:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,800But as far as I'm concerned, he only talked about the medical stuff.8800:05:49,800 --> 00:05:58,800I first heard about Kennedy running from a spiritual podcast, from the Aubrey Marcus podcast.8900:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,800If you don't know, Aubrey Marcus is the guy, he does like just spiritual stuff.9000:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,800He makes spiritual content.9100:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800He does his own coaching stuff.9200:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,800Just sort of been following him.9300:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,800He's the creator of Onnit, the company Onnit, where I get all my workout stuff from.9400:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,800Anyway, he does a lot of praying.9500:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,800He does a lot of psychedelic stuff.9600:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,800He does a lot of searching and thinking.9700:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,800And he put out an interview.9800:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,800He was one of the first podcasts I listened to where he spoke to Kennedy.9900:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,800And I got to listen to what he had to say.10000:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,800And I've always been intrigued and I've always wanted to just continue to follow him.10100:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800And it's not just very simple.10200:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,800The Aubrey Marcus stuff, it's not, I mean, it is a simple narrative.10300:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,800Whenever I use the phrase, a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible, it's coming from him.10400:06:50,800 --> 00:07:02,800It's sort of like this idealistic framework for unity, for people coming together, for humanity to come together.10500:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,800And I've always just thought that was, I thought that was pretty.10600:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,800I've always thought that it was like a beautiful thing to be a part.10700:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,800And he has a friend.10800:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,800His name's, his friend is called, his name's Charles.10900:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,800Charles Einstein.11000:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800And I found a podcast.11100:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800First of all, I went to RFK Jr.'s podcast.11200:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800If you don't know this, RFK Jr. has a podcast.11300:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,800Back in May, 2023, he did a podcast with this Charles Einstein character.11400:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,800And Charles Einstein, he's this philosopher.11500:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800He was against all the COVID mandates.11600:07:33,800 --> 00:07:41,800And he leaned into writing about it and talking about his, like his thoughts on whatever the current moment was.11700:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,800And, you know, chaos and meditating.11800:07:44,800 --> 00:07:55,800And he developed a community himself during COVID centered around, you know, spirit and meditating and re-honing the chaos.11900:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,800You know, whatever chaos is within you, you know, develop a routine or develop something.12000:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,800You know, he's one of those guys who wants to help people.12100:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,800And I guess he's in RFK Jr.'s circle of influence.12200:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,800He's one of the, right now, he's currently advising RFK.12300:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,800And they spoke on RFK Jr.'s podcast.12400:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,800And this is what, here's a two minute clip of what RFK Jr.'s spirituality is.12500:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,800And just to give you a bit more of a mindset of where it is.12600:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,800It's not simply Catholic.12700:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800It's not simply he goes to church.12800:08:33,800 --> 00:08:40,800I think this could be an evolution of how we view how we want our leaders to be spiritual.12900:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,800Man, check this out.13000:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,800I really rely on 12 step meetings.13100:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,800And I was going to nine a week during the pandemic.13200:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,800I've been doing that for 40 years.13300:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,800And, you know, because that's where I get kind of spiritual renewal and confirmation and validation.13400:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,800And also the opportunities for service that you get through that, which is really what keeps people sane.13500:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,800You know, if you're feeling depressed or if you're feeling disconsolate or uncertain or anxious,13600:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,800the one thing that will transform that immediately like magic is if you try to help somebody else.13700:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,800And you get a lot of those opportunities in 12 step programs.13800:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,800I do meditation every day.13900:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800So that centers me spiritually.14000:09:22,800 --> 00:09:32,800It's like I did a lot of white water kayaking and a lot of first ascenses on big rivers all over the world.14100:09:32,800 --> 00:09:41,800And when you're scouting a rapid, you climb a bluff above the rapid and you look at it for a long time and make a make a plan.14200:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,800You make a line.14300:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,800You're how you're going to get through it and the moves you're going to have to make.14400:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,800And then you try to stay on that line.14500:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800And if you can do that, you're going to be OK.14600:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,800And a lot of times you'll wash out and then you're at the mercy of the river.14700:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,800And that's what to me, meditations are like.14800:09:56,800 --> 00:10:03,800It's like sitting still and planning your day and say, how am I going to stay spiritually centered during this day?14900:10:03,800 --> 00:10:11,800And these difficulties asking for help now and then trying to say, OK, when I speak to this child, I'm not going to get angry.15000:10:11,800 --> 00:10:18,800I'm going to try to be understanding when I speak to this, you know, a worker or a business partner or whatever.15100:10:18,800 --> 00:10:25,800I'm going to do it in a way that's calm and I'm not given to anger or fear or whatever.15200:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800And so, you know, that helps me a lot.15300:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,800And of course, a lot of times you can't stick with your plan.15400:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,800You end up washing out and then you know, but you get another chance.15500:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,800Next day, God's given us the gift of time, but he cut it into these manageable units called days.15600:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,800And every day you can start over and try to do better.15700:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,800Remember back in 2016 when there was that woman, her name was Miriam Williamson.15800:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,800She was running for president and she was like the spiritual girl.15900:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,800She was like the spiritual woman.16000:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,800She was like the aura type.16100:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,800And she was like on the debate stage with all the Democrats.16200:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,800And everyone said she was a kook because of her spirituality.16300:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,800I remember that specifically.16400:11:10,800 --> 00:11:18,800And now we have RFK Jr. you know, just openly speaking about his practice,16500:11:18,800 --> 00:11:26,800about how he finds solace in his life, about how he finds value going to these 12-step programs.16600:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,800Now, forgive me, I did not go all the way deep if there was like some alcohol issue with him.16700:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,800Maybe there was, maybe there is. I'm not worried about that.16800:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800The fact of the matter is that he's good now.16900:11:36,800 --> 00:11:44,800He's a good man now and he finds this area useful to him for his spirit.17000:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,800And that's really important for people to hear.17100:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,800You don't hear Biden saying that.17200:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,800You don't hear Trump saying that.17300:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,800You don't hear, you know, you hear zero leaders.17400:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,800You hear zero leaders talk about that, you know, let alone politics and all that.17500:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800Like you don't hear any tech CEOs talk about spirituality.17600:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,800You hear them talk about meditation, which is like interesting I guess.17700:12:08,800 --> 00:12:21,800But you know, for some reason I have this tendency to think of like the tech world meditation app vibe as less spiritual.17800:12:21,800 --> 00:12:29,800You know, we got to find like a deeper way to connect than just a 10-minute mindfulness thing, you know,17900:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,800that every tech that's like so modern right now, you know, like, oh, are you doing your 10-minute meditation a day?18000:12:36,800 --> 00:12:43,800It's like, I feel like there has to be more, you know, a 10-minute meditating system, you know, that's good if you're just starting out.18100:12:43,800 --> 00:12:52,800But for humans, for moving into this new world, for trying to build better systems, like we need to have a real practice.18200:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,800Like as individuals, you know, like I don't know what that looks like, but I'm, I continue to try to find my,18300:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,800my ritual, my meditation.18400:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,800It's not consistent, you know, this year specifically just hasn't been consistent.18500:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800I did three months of Joe Dispenza stuff.18600:13:10,800 --> 00:13:16,800I did just like just general prayer, just trying to pray more, but that hasn't been consistent every day.18700:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,800You know, some days I feel good, some days I feel bad.18800:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,800On the bad days, I'm thinking about, oh, I need to pray more.18900:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,800And on the good days, I'm like, okay, maybe I should pray.19000:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,800But then I just like don't.19100:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,800So it's refreshing to hear a man who's 69 years old and is absolutely jacked out of his mind.19200:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,800You see that photo on Twitter?19300:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,800Here's a photo on Twitter I saw that this guy's working out in an outdoor gym.19400:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,800RFK's jacked, dude. I'm trying to get that body myself.19500:13:43,800 --> 00:13:54,800Like this healthy senior citizen is open about his struggle and about what he does.19600:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,800Here's another clip, 53 second clip of how RFK meditates.19700:13:59,800 --> 00:14:07,800Have you been able to maintain a meditation practice during the rigors and the daily intensity of the campaign?19800:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,800Yeah, I have to. It's not an option for me.19900:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,800You know what I do, Charles, I do a hike. I do a walk meditation.20000:14:16,800 --> 00:14:22,800So I hike every morning in the wilderness and I do my meditations then.20100:14:22,800 --> 00:14:29,800And I have a discipline that I go to that I've been doing for 40 years and it just works well for me.20200:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,800It keeps me centered for most of the day. By the end of the day, everything gets ragged.20300:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,800I have a friend who says that the devil sleeps late and it's really easy to be a good person in the morning.20400:14:39,800 --> 00:14:48,800But by late afternoon, he's putting on his dress coat and his tuxedo and spats and lots of it.20500:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,800And then it just becomes harder and harder as the day goes on.20600:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,800My immediate takeaway is that RFK seems authentic. He seems to be just a guy.20700:14:57,800 --> 00:15:05,800He's talking about just a normal day of just you might be in a good headspace early in the morning in the woods by yourself.20800:15:05,800 --> 00:15:12,800And then by the end of the day, you've had a few meetings, you've done a few interviews, you've got a few people calling you a liar,20900:15:12,800 --> 00:15:19,800or you've got some anti-vaxxing shit, whatever. At the end of the day, you're going to feel like an asshole.21000:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,800I totally feel that at the end of the day, I just want to punch my boss in the face and just say,21100:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,800fuck you, I'm out of here, dude. Bye bye.21200:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,800But earlier, like eight hours, nine hours earlier, when I walked in, I'm all happy-go-lucky-cool.21300:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,800Hey, how's it going, everybody? Ready to make some food? Woo!21400:15:36,800 --> 00:15:45,800I relate to that personally, and I think a lot of other spiritual people, anyone who focuses on their spirit,21500:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,800I believe they can see that same pattern, just the normal day.21600:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,800Did Obama ever talk about his spiritual life? Did Obama ever talk about how the struggles during the day?21700:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,800It's tough being the president. It's wake up every morning and there's a new problem.21800:16:03,800 --> 00:16:12,800What if there was a more spiritual leader? What if? What if? Just what if?21900:16:12,800 --> 00:16:20,800I would love that. For any Christian in America, for any religious person in America,22000:16:20,800 --> 00:16:33,800it is evident that America has lost her values, and America has been loosening its hold on her belief in God.22100:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,800As a culture, we really have been doing that. We really have been letting go of God.22200:16:39,800 --> 00:16:47,800And with that has been a let go of values and a let go of certain traditions.22300:16:47,800 --> 00:16:55,800Some communities online, they're going to blame pride, or other communities, they're going to blame Democrats,22400:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,800and they're going to blame that entire side of the field.22500:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,800There is an easy way to point a finger at why these values are being degraded.22600:17:06,800 --> 00:17:15,800But at the same time, simultaneously, you have the opportunity to choose to value.22700:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,800You, right now, right here. And in every situation, positive or negative,22800:17:20,800 --> 00:17:26,800you have the choice to lean into these good values, to a first principle value.22900:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,800These are things that you begin with, like love, honesty.23000:17:31,800 --> 00:17:40,800These are things that you absolutely need to begin with when it comes to engaging in any new relationship or conversation.23100:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,800There needs to be a grounding of things, and we've been losing that. It's been clear.23200:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,800We have absolutely been losing that.23300:17:48,800 --> 00:17:56,800And one thing that's been really on my mind is how complicated these narratives are when it comes to...23400:17:56,800 --> 00:18:06,800If you're doing any research on the transgender stuff, if you're a functioning, if you're a normal thinking human,23500:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,800and this is even in the What is a Woman documentary, and it's on every meme, whatever,23600:18:12,800 --> 00:18:21,800we don't care if you're trans or not. We care if you're doing shit to kids.23700:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,800Normal people don't have a problem with who you are or how you want to express.23800:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,800It's about your values. How are you implementing your values into the world?23900:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,800And there's clearly classes of people that believe certain things.24000:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,800They believe in certain things, but they do not embody them.24100:18:45,800 --> 00:18:52,800And it's like this weird hypnosis. It's some sort of group thing. I can't really define it.24200:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,800And that's how complex it is.24300:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,800And to talk about more of that complexity here, so here's another clip from a different podcast.24400:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800From the Aubrey Marcus podcast.24500:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,800They're talking about the lack of simplicity, the lack of simple solutions,24600:19:10,800 --> 00:19:17,800and how we've been trained as a society to think in simple terms.24700:19:17,800 --> 00:19:28,800We can no longer do that. We've got to figure out a way to create complicated solutions,24800:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,800like solutions for complicated problems. It is not as simple as good and evil.24900:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,800There is nuance in all of these things, and there are different angles to everything.25000:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,800Check this out.25100:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,800Since that conversation, it's only your role advising him and messaging and communicating.25200:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,800I'm sorry, real quick. The Aubrey Marcus podcast. Aubrey is speaking to Charles Einstein,25300:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,800and he just referenced the last few clips that we just listened to.25400:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,800One more time. One more time. Let's go.25500:19:59,800 --> 00:20:05,800Conversation, it's only your role advising him and messaging and communication,25600:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,800and all that you have to offer is only expanded.25700:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,800So that brings us to, you know, part of the reason why we're here is to talk about,25800:20:14,800 --> 00:20:22,800all right, like, how does this presidential, you know, campaign,25900:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,800if it's just a campaign, just entering into the conversation or potential victory,26000:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,800contribute to that more beautiful world our hearts know as possible?26100:20:31,800 --> 00:20:37,800Like, what is this? How do you see this playing out in all of those different ways?26200:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,800And what does that world look like in a, you know, Bobby Kennedy as president?26300:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,800Yeah, you know, he doesn't surround himself with sick offense and yes men, you know?26400:20:48,800 --> 00:20:57,800And so, like, it actually encourages me that he values my advice,26500:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,800even though we don't agree on certain issues. Yep.26600:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,800And there are others in the close circle that are similar, you know?26700:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800And, you know, maybe someday an issue will come up that's so important to me26800:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,800that I have to part ways. That could happen.26900:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,800You know, it's not that the issues are irrelevant. Right.27000:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,800But our society is facing changes that are so profound27100:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,800that they don't fit into the categories of the issues.27200:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,800And we're going to need somebody who can enter into that,27300:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,800I call it the fertile ground of bewilderment,27400:21:34,800 --> 00:21:42,800and not too quickly default to a simplistic solution that comes from old reflexes.27500:21:42,800 --> 00:21:50,800What a scary, like, big picture, bird's eye view, God's view, like, shot of, like, Earth and, like, society, right?27600:21:50,800 --> 00:21:57,800Like, we are heading into a completely radically, like, new world, right?27700:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,800That's what... This is the perspective. This is the perspective.27800:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,800Some people really believe the world's ending. You know?27900:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,800You talk to some of my... There's just one ex-girlfriend I have.28000:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,800Her father has always been on the end time stuff.28100:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,800Like, even when... Like, I dated this girl in high school, right?28200:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,800Like, ten plus years ago, this guy was talking about the end times.28300:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,800He's got me on the front porch talking about revelations.28400:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,800He's really doing that. And he's Christian.28500:22:27,800 --> 00:22:33,800You know, there are Christians who believe, truly believe, that the world is ending.28600:22:33,800 --> 00:22:39,800And I would... Clearly, if you do any listening with the Aubrey Marcus people,28700:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,800their view is that the world is changing.28800:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,800The view is that humanity is going through a birth, a rebirth.28900:22:47,800 --> 00:22:53,800Whatever we knew was true, or... I'm sorry. Not true. True is the wrong word.29000:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,800Whatever we knew to be normal is no longer normal.29100:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,800And whatever we knew to be working no longer works.29200:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,800And so, that presents the opportunity for us to do better.29300:23:05,800 --> 00:23:13,800That presents the opportunity for us to evolve and to grow and to become more cohesive somehow.29400:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800And that's been the narrative that I've been attached to.29500:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800I've been really trying to lean into that. I want to believe that.29600:23:19,800 --> 00:23:25,800I really want to believe that. I would love to believe that.29700:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,800And hopefully, like, other people agree with that.29800:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,800I don't know what that looks like for the presidency. I don't really know...29900:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,800I don't have the answer for that.30000:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800I don't have this clear vision of how the future works.30100:23:34,800 --> 00:23:42,800But I know that it's people coming together based on core values.30200:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,800Charles Einstein said something interesting in that where he goes...30300:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,800Let me go back to it real quick.30400:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,800There are others in the close circle that are similar.30500:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,800Maybe someday an issue will come up that's so important to me that I have to part ways.30600:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,800That could happen. It's not that the issues are irrelevant.30700:24:03,800 --> 00:24:13,800But our society is facing changes that are so profound that they don't fit into the categories of the issues.30800:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,800It's just so true. It's just so true.30900:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,800And so if it's not as simple the issue, what are we valuing here?31000:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,800He said something interesting about the field...31100:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,800Oh, this is what it was. The field of bewilderment.31200:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,800Charles Einstein said the field of bewilderment. I've never heard that word before.31300:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,800Definition goes bewilderment.31400:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,800A feeling of being perplexed and confused.31500:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,800In a sentence, there was bewilderment at the sudden change.31600:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,800So, I mean, that's COVID, right?31700:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,800That's exactly what we've been going through.31800:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,800Like, precisely.31900:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,800Bewilderment can describe the fourth turning that I've talked about before.32000:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,800The fourth turning book.32100:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,800We are in this fourth turning of this moment in history.32200:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,800We're going through the crisis right now.32300:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,800And we're all confused.32400:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,800And our values are changing.32500:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,800And we have an opportunity. We have a real opportunity here.32600:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,800And what are those values? Aubrey brings up these values.32700:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,800And so what do you rely on in the field of bewilderment?32800:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800You rely on values.32900:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,800Like values and first principles really are like, to me in my mind,33000:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,800is what forms a foundation.33100:25:29,800 --> 00:25:36,800Which is honesty, integrity, care, love.33200:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,800Those values are the things that are actually going to be the only things that are clear33300:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,800when everything gets foggy and you're lost in the wilderness.33400:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,800Like, what do you come back to?33500:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,800If I'm in a psychedelic journey and I'm in a fucking crazy place33600:25:50,800 --> 00:25:56,800where everything up is down and left is right and light is dark and dark is light and I'm confused.33700:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,800I go back to the pillar of like, all right, I just have to love my way out of this.33800:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,800I just have to love my way out of this. Love whatever I can love.33900:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800And I'll love my way out of this mess.34000:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,800So it's like, it pushes me back to like the core values.34100:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,800And that's, I think, something we've never seen in politics.34200:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,800Someone who is like value driven.34300:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,800Like bound by values rather than issues and ideologies and reflexes.34400:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,800And I see that in him. I see him as like a person, a man of value.34500:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,800You know, he's a man who's had humbling experiences in his life.34600:26:32,800 --> 00:26:45,800Tragedies and that I think have convinced him that he's no better than any other man.34700:26:45,800 --> 00:26:52,800And, you know, people like the values you mentioned, pretty much everybody says that they have those values.34800:26:52,800 --> 00:27:01,800So I think it's not so much a matter of principle, but rather the life experiences that have driven those principles into your cells.34900:27:01,800 --> 00:27:08,800That hit me hard as fuck when I listen to that.35000:27:08,800 --> 00:27:21,800The men speaking right there would not have zero understanding of what it might feel like to have two family members shot and killed.35100:27:21,800 --> 00:27:33,800You know, like very, very few people understand what it means to have multiple, multiple people of your family to be murdered while they try to do good things.35200:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,800While they seek to do positive in the world.35300:27:36,800 --> 00:27:44,800Bobby Kennedy is someone, Bobby Kennedy Jr. is someone who saw, who had his father die, man.35400:27:44,800 --> 00:27:50,800Can you imagine saying, like, like, like having to...35500:27:50,800 --> 00:27:56,800Can you imagine holding on to the fact that your father was shot and killed?35600:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,800Can you imagine holding on to just the fact? Just the fact.35700:28:00,800 --> 00:28:07,800You know, my dad was shot and killed. Like, what the fuck? What the fuck?35800:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,800Like, why is he running? Why is he doing anything like this? You know?35900:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,800And I gotta believe that it's value driven. I gotta believe that it's honesty.36000:28:16,800 --> 00:28:27,800I gotta believe that it's something else tied to God than just vain power or some money making scheme.36100:28:27,800 --> 00:28:38,800Or some just, you know, like back in 2016 people were criticizing Trump that his campaign was just one big advertisement for the Apprentice TV show.36200:28:38,800 --> 00:28:48,800You know, and I think in the past, you know, I think he might have, he might have talked about running for president pre-2016 as a real advertisement for his show.36300:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,800You know, just to get your name in the, in the headlines, you know?36400:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,800But Bobby Kennedy, like, it's the complete opposite, you know?36500:28:57,800 --> 00:29:10,800Like, suing Big Pharma. Like, I don't understand how you, I mean, I know how you can make money, but like, I don't understand why going after these, the largest, you know, and in my opinion, most corrupt companies ever.36600:29:10,800 --> 00:29:17,800You know, I don't know what kind of good that does for you when they own, when those are the same people who own the media and own the narratives.36700:29:17,800 --> 00:29:32,800And, you know, I was listening to Adam Curry and he said, or he played a clip of, of RFK talking about how he thinks podcasting, podcast is, is the 2024 election, like medium.36800:29:32,800 --> 00:29:39,800This election, this specific election and possible future elections will be handled mostly by podcasts.36900:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,800And I tend to believe that, you know, I'm playing clips of different podcasts myself.37000:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,800I'm, I only have podcasts to cut and spice up.37100:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,800So we'll see what happens.37200:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,800This last clip I have of Kennedy talking, this is him on Rogan.37300:29:55,800 --> 00:30:03,800And this is, this, this makes me tend to believe, this six second clip makes me tend to believe the man's word.37400:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,800Because nobody should trust my word on this.37500:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,800You know, my, what I say is irrelevant.37600:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,800What is relevant is the science.37700:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,800Yes. Thank you.37800:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,800Thank you so much.37900:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,800What's relevant is the science.38000:30:18,800 --> 00:30:24,800Anyone who's talking about Bobby Kennedy acting like he's a acting as if he's speaking on behalf of science.38100:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,800He's doing some horrible thing, like just playing that six second clip, dude.38200:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,800It's not about his word.38300:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,800It's about, it's about the science.38400:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,800Trust my word on this.38500:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,800You know, my, what I say is irrelevant.38600:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,800What is relevant is the science.38700:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,800I'm like facts, dude, facts.38800:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,800How does a person move through that?38900:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,800How does it, I got one more clip right here.39000:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,800How does a person move through that?39100:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,800How do you not hate everyone around you when you're, when you have two family members dead,39200:30:53,800 --> 00:31:00,800when you have the media going after you for being an anti-vaxxer, you got the head of the NIH calling you a liar.39300:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,800Like, how are you not hateful?39400:31:03,800 --> 00:31:10,800You know, how can you meditate in the woods in Tennessee every day and still like, how can you function, man?39500:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,800I like, I don't get it.39600:31:11,800 --> 00:31:22,800And I agree with what Aubrey and Charles are saying about like he's gone through experiences that have, that have embedded into his cells.39700:31:22,800 --> 00:31:28,800He has life experiences that have embedded themselves into his cells, just like everyone else.39800:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,800You know, this is where trauma comes in.39900:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,800You know, this is where learned behavior comes in.40000:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,800He's had that experience.40100:31:35,800 --> 00:31:43,800There's another person who's had that type of experience, a similar experience of being persecuted and has come out the other side loving.40200:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,800Check this out.40300:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,800All the persecution has been wonderful.40400:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,800Alex Jones.40500:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,800Let's go.40600:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,800Persecution has been wonderful.40700:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,800It's really taught me a lot and, and it's helped me be a better person.40800:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,800So I want to thank my enemies for everything they've done to me and I want to encourage them not to be destroyed by their master that will destroy them.40900:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,800And I want to have a future with them on a planet we can all live on.41000:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,800And so I want to tell my enemies, I love you and I care about you and Jesus loves you.41100:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,800And you just need to ask Jesus to come into your heart and God will set you on the right path and forgive you.41200:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,800And that's really the answer.41300:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,800And I would just really encourage them to find God because let me tell you, God and the devil are real.41400:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,800You better get that straight.41500:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,800I play that as a joke and because it's real as fuck.41600:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,800Like the narrative that we need to construct is that we can all come together.41700:32:26,800 --> 00:32:35,800The narrative that we need to, that we need to agree on is our enemies are welcome into this new world that we want.41800:32:35,800 --> 00:32:42,800Our enemies are welcomed in this beautiful world that all of our hearts know is possible.41900:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,800That must exist.42000:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,800That must be something that we take into consideration.42100:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,800The kingdom of God accepts everyone.42200:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,800Right.42300:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,800The kingdom of God, like it's here for everyone.42400:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,800Like we need to build these systems for everyone.42500:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,800We just have this opportunity to make more loving systems.42600:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,800Like simple as that, dude.42700:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,800And Alex Jones, like find Jesus.42800:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,800Find Jesus.42900:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,800One more time.43000:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,800Let me play it one more time.43100:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,800The persecution has been wonderful.43200:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800It's really taught me a lot and it's helped me be a better person.43300:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,800So I want to thank my enemies for everything they've done to me.43400:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,800And I want to encourage them not to be destroyed by their master that will destroy them.43500:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,800And I want to have a future with them on a planet we can all live on.43600:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,800And so I want to tell my enemies I love you and I care about you and Jesus loves you.43700:33:29,800 --> 00:33:35,800And you just need to ask Jesus to come into your heart and God will set you on the right path and forgive you.43800:33:35,800 --> 00:33:36,800And that's really the answer.43900:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,800And I would just really encourage them to find God.44000:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,800Because let me tell you, God and the devil are real.44100:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,800You better get that straight.44200:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,800And with that

I'm looking for producers.55300:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,800I'm looking for producers who want to help me out, send me satoshis who want to give me ideas55400:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,800and who want to give their time, talent and treasure to just something cool.55500:40:14,800 --> 00:40:21,800And that's really what I think is unique about me and what I want to do.55600:40:21,800 --> 00:40:27,800And a part of the uniqueness is this new thing that I came up with a couple nights ago.55700:40:27,800 --> 00:40:35,800I've been, you know, when it comes to combining Bitcoin and art, you know, I've always had this idea of like doing a movie with Bitcoin somehow.55800:40:35,800 --> 00:40:40,800Like there has to be a movie, not like not as in like the movie is about Bitcoin.55900:40:40,800 --> 00:40:46,800I mean, like I want to make a really, really good movie and I make a Bitcoin from it.56000:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,800I think that first of all, it's a brilliant idea.56100:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,800Second of all, how the fuck is that going to happen?56200:40:53,800 --> 00:41:04,800And I had the I had a wonderful Bitcoin experience where it was like Friday night and I was like Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin, 100 millions a toad.56300:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,800100 million satoshis, 100 million satoshis for one Bitcoin.56400:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,800Every Bitcoin has 100 million.56500:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,800So I want to do a movie.56600:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,800How many satoshis?56700:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,800I need I need 100 million.56800:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,800So if I want to make a Bitcoin, I need 100 million.56900:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,800And I just kept like going back and forth in my head.57000:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,800I was like, hang on.57100:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,800How many people do I need to give me how many satoshis so I can make a Bitcoin?57200:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,800And I go ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.57300:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,800Well, hang on, hang on.57400:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,800What's the number here?57500:41:32,800 --> 00:41:33,800What's make it an easy number?57600:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,800I need 10.57700:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,800What if I need 10,000?57800:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,800What if how many people do I need to give me 10,000 satoshis?57900:41:39,800 --> 00:41:40,800Is it can that work out?58000:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,800And of course, folks, you do the you do the math.58100:41:43,800 --> 00:41:53,800100 million satoshis divided by 10,000 equals 10,000.58200:41:53,800 --> 00:42:07,800Folks, this new business plan of mine, I need to make a community big enough so that I can attract 10,000 people to give me 10,000 satoshis to watch my movie.58300:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,800Huh?58400:42:09,800 --> 00:42:10,800What do you think of that?58500:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,800Huh?58600:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,800It's like a simple idea.58700:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,800It's like a dirt simple idea.58800:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,800Like I'm imagining just a paywall.58900:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,800But the vision is there now and now I have some hard numbers on it.59000:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,800A few weeks ago, no, not a few weeks ago.59100:42:28,800 --> 00:42:36,800Earlier this week, former CEO of Twitter, Jack, he posted this link to this website called Nodeless.59200:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,800Nodeless.com or something like that.59300:42:38,800 --> 00:42:39,800Nodeless.io.59400:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,800I'll find it.59500:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,800I'll put the photo up.59600:42:41,800 --> 00:42:51,800Pretty much this Nodeless website allows you to do e-commerce and apply paywalls with Bitcoin.59700:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,800You can have a Bitcoin paywall.59800:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,800And so the idea is it's as simple as that.59900:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,800Like I'm going to have a website that's holding my movie.60000:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,800And I'm not talking about the short film now.60100:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,800I'm not talking about the animated short that's like 15 minutes long.60200:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,800It's coming out on Christmas Day 2023.60300:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,800I'm not talking about that.60400:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,800This is a completely different thing.60500:43:09,800 --> 00:43:10,800This is the movie.60600:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,800I'm talking about the movie movie.60700:43:12,800 --> 00:43:13,800The movie.60800:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,800Like hour and a half long.60900:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,800Hour and a half, 90 plus minutes.61000:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,800It's going to be on a website.61100:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,800And for you to watch it, you're going to have to pay 10,000 possibly more.61200:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,800But we'll do 10,000.61300:43:26,800 --> 00:43:27,80010,000 Sats.61400:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,800So you get in and you're able to watch the movie.61500:43:30,800 --> 00:43:36,800And then you can, I'm imagining some option where you can buy a digital code.61600:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,800Like get the digital code, unlock it for your Voodoo, for your movies anywhere, whatever, iTunes.61700:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,800And then like bada bing bada boom.61800:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,800Like isn't that simple?61900:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,800And all I need to do, like that's been my idea the entire time.62000:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,800Like just to build the community and get people excited for my stuff.62100:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,800And then make like make good stuff.62200:43:56,800 --> 00:43:57,800Like this movie.62300:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,800Now the real issue is that the movie needs to be good.62400:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,800The movie needs to be so good and so interesting.62500:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,80010,000 people are willing to give me 10,000 Satoshis.62600:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,800That is a radically big ask.62700:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,800And some Bitcoiners might say like yes and no.62800:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,800Like not really.62900:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,800Like it's 10,000 Satoshis.63000:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,800Like what's 10,000 Satoshis?63100:44:19,800 --> 00:44:20,800Like not a lot of money.63200:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,800It's like barely, barely a dollar.63300:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,800Like I don't even know right now.63400:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,800I don't like doing that math.63500:44:26,800 --> 00:44:36,800I know that my 320,000 Sats right now in Fountain is worth like 97 bucks.63600:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,800So what is 10,000 Sats?63700:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,800Is that really worth it?63800:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,800Is that really worth it for a movie?63900:44:43,800 --> 00:44:44,800I think it is.64000:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,800Because you got to spend like four bucks to rent some old ass movie on Amazon.64100:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,800How about I just make a movie for cheap?64200:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,800The business side would be I make a movie for like 15 grand, 20 grand.64300:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,800And then if I make a Bitcoin, you know Bitcoin right now is 30 grand.64400:45:01,800 --> 00:45:07,800If the movie comes out in the next year, year, like two years, let's just say two years.64500:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,800I don't know where Bitcoin price will be, but hopefully it's higher than where it is now.64600:45:12,800 --> 00:45:23,800By the time, you know, if my movie comes out 2025, there will have already been another Bitcoin halving.64700:45:23,800 --> 00:45:32,800And clearly when you see the charts after every Bitcoin halving, there's always a large increase in the price.64800:45:32,800 --> 00:45:46,800So if I'm working with just a larger than 30 grand number and I do my best and I innovate and I make a good movie for 15, 20 grand.64900:45:46,800 --> 00:46:00,800And then I make a Bitcoin from that, like at the lowest level, that could be quite possibly a $5,000, 5,000 Fiat profit, you know.65000:46:00,800 --> 00:46:08,800But if it's higher and I get a Bitcoin, then I'm fucking rich.65100:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,800Like I think it's a good ass plan. I think it's a good ass plan.65200:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,80010,000 people to give me 10,000 sats. Am I wrong on that?65300:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,800Like let me open myself up for criticism. Like am I wrong?65400:46:18,800 --> 00:46:24,800Like I've never been good at math, folks. I passed math with a D. I graduated high school with a D in math.65500:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,800OK, I need help on this. I need I'm not a business guy.65600:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,800I don't know when the banks are going to fail. I just know that they will.65700:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,800I don't know when. I just know that they are.65800:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,800I don't know how this is going to work. I just know that it will.65900:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,800But I think it's a good idea. I got really excited about that.66000:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,800So that's like sort of like the new that's how the mission evolves.66100:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,800The mission is to make a Bitcoin from my art. I think it works.66200:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,800I think other people should. I hope other people start thinking about that.66300:46:57,800 --> 00:47:05,800You know, there's all this conversation about like Bitcoin ordinals and NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain and all these things.66400:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,800And it's like, I don't I don't think it needs to be that complicated.66500:47:08,800 --> 00:47:17,800If we want to use Bitcoin as a new money system, then let's just use it to to pay for the things that we want to do and watch and whatever.66600:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,800You know, like if we want to use it, then just use it.66700:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,800Like give me 10,000 sats to watch my movie. Like, come on, dude.66800:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,800Come on. It's that easy. Tell me what you think about that, folks.66900:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,800If you if you think there's value in that plan, like, please let me know.67000:47:32,800 --> 00:47:39,800Send me some sats and tell me your thoughts, because I would love nothing more than to hear what you have to say.67100:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,800When you donate, you you are a producer. When you contribute, you are a producer.67200:47:44,800 --> 00:47:53,800This is America Plus.
