In this episode, we delve into a wide-ranging discussion that touches on the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, societal changes, and historical perspectives. We begin with a reflection on the pandemic's effects, highlighting the contrasting experiences of those who quickly resumed normalcy and those who faced significant losses. The conversation shifts to the role of media and public perception, particularly focusing on how narratives around the pandemic have evolved and the implications of misinformation.
We also explore historical patterns and generational cycles, discussing theories about societal change and the influence of powerful entities. The dialogue includes a critique of modern technology's impact on society and the potential dangers of AI and digital manipulation. The episode concludes with a philosophical discussion on morality, the consequences of historical actions, and the importance of truth in shaping our future. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional narratives and encourages critical thinking.

Like I said, me and them guys, we just get together and like, Phil and I will sit here and bullshit about work, and then all of a sudden, you know, he's like, you know, is it recorded? I'm like, yeah. I've been recording for, like, half hour, and then we start talking about shit. Like I said, I started with the paper because I, you know, I didn't know what else to do, and I like I like that idea that they had on no agenda was, like, start local because everybody has a fucking national podcast. Yeah. But then you get people who's like they tell you all the time. They're like, man, I really wanna hear that shit you guys are talking about Ukraine and whatever.

[00:07:00] Unknown:
We all we all come from same some same, same kind of background. Same genetic pool. Phil's dad worked for power plants for his whole life, like, building anything, like big foundations. Setting turbines, stuff like that, like the big shit. Plus, he's real smart and knows everything about, like, construction of electrical and everything. Like, Phil's dad's almost like a construction renaissance man. Mhmm. And Phil really admires his father, yet also really wants to sort of be the antagonist to his father, you know, obviously, because he wants to be very much like him. Mhmm. You know? And Phil's dad's a great guy. Like, we all hang out. Phil's brother and stuff. But, I met Phil when I worked at Advanced Acoustic Concepts. He was a co op, which is Penn State's program where they send over people to work at local Murtha remember John Murtha?
You know, all the money. He was, the pork barrel, congressman for Pennsylvania. No. That's her. And he had, like, a big gerrymandered district drawn way over into Fayette County. Okay. And he that's what he brought in all the the contractors, like the Navy, Air Force, Army contractors that we have in this area. Okay. Like, pork barrel spending. He brought it into his constituents. But it was funny because, like, he had this big jut out that encapsulated Fayette County. When he died, all that went away. But I was working at Advanced Acoustic Concepts, and Phil came over from Penn State, and he knows Nate. He's just as good a friend with Nate as you and I are. How did he meet Nate? He was his professor.
[00:08:39] Unknown:
Oh, before us?

[00:08:54] Unknown:
Whatever happened to Zach from that cult?
[00:08:57] Unknown:
The Mennonite. Zach, beard beard beard man.
[00:09:01] Unknown:
No. Bearded man. That young kid. Remember that young kid? He always wore a plaid shirt. He had them in dog park class. Tucked in in tennis shoes. He ain't having a beard. No, I'm just thinking of bearded man. He was clean shaven because of the Colt.
[00:09:16] Unknown:
I'm not sure it's a Colt. They're just an offshoot of the Amish. Yeah.
[00:09:25] Unknown:
There gotta be something going on there.
[00:09:28] Unknown:
Yeah. They got it figured out is what what they got. Yeah. It's like a good cult. Yeah. It's like a decent It's the type of cult that I want them to recruit me to.
[00:09:37] Unknown:
Because there's there's like something about people who want to live and be told what to do. You know what I mean? Otherwise, you just be an independent almost sure something, right? But to wanna live in like a commune there's something about a person. He was smart though, you know what I mean? He was a real intelligent guy, so like what is that thing? But then he said he wanted to leave anyway, right? I don't remember him saying he wanted to leave. He said something like I don't know if it's, like, this is probably okay to say or whatever, but, like, you the agreement is, like, you go to school and you work for some time to, like, pay it back. And then after you pay it back, you can do whatever you want. Like, if you wanna leave, but it just wouldn't be kind to the community. So even if you wanted to leave, you still pay back to the community for paying your tuition or something like that.
[00:10:34] Unknown:
Well, I mean, that seems that seems like a reasonable deal. I mean, he has he has to go they're not just yeah. They're not gonna just let him get educated on their dime and leave. I mean, he's coming back and he you know, it's like they're sending him out, get educated, come back here. We're gonna use your skills to better our community, which Yeah. Seems like a perfectly legitimate deal to have, you know. Otherwise, you'd have pay it back if you wanted to leave. It's kinda like how they pay school teachers to go to an area and work, and they're like, we'll pay your tuition as if you come work at our school district for ten years, and it's usually, like, low income, really bad.
It's a good deal for them, but they leave, you know, then they get their educations on their own dime. I'd take that deal if I was a teacher.
[00:11:24] Unknown:
He said something like they had some factories. Like, you work in a fact maybe furniture factory or woodworking factory. He would go back working that for a little while, and then after he paid back his debt, like, four years or whatever, then he could leave Duke. Well, he could leave whenever he wanted, but he said it would, like, shunned.
[00:11:43] Unknown:
It's probably hard to come back after you've left, but they'd probably take you
[00:11:49] Unknown:
back. That wouldn't be bad, though. Like, why don't people just drop kids there? Orphanage.
[00:11:57] Unknown:
Orphanage. Like dropping them off at the orphanage, but drop them off at the Mennonites. Let the Mennonites educate them and then pick them up. Educated. He was smarter.
[00:12:06] Unknown:
No. I'll not pick them up later, but just what do you do if you're like a, you know, if your parents are drug addicts or you basically were growing up on your own, you know you could just go up there and get a home. I
[00:12:22] Unknown:
I would seek that out. I would think if you were, you know, neglected and your parents left, I would I think going to the Mennonite community is a great option for you. They take you Like, imagine if you're 12 and your drug addict parents abandon you, and you hitch a ride up to the Mennonite community, and they'd be like, welcome. I think it's a good deal. Do they know? I bet you they do. They like to get that blood, that new new blood in there. You know? They like they could get some of that new fresh blood to mix with their ladies.
And once you're black Poor men. Well, not that fresh. They're not letting you in then. I don't think, anyway.
[00:13:02] Unknown:
They don't want you getting that fresh. You'd have to see what that policy is.
[00:13:07] Unknown:
Well, back to what you were saying about how people are seeking out somebody to take care of them. The Mennonite community and being a cult, you know, there's a whole group of people in The US who like that daddy mentality. Like, they don't wanna be cast out to the wolves and on their own. So, their, you know, their religion is the state and they worship state and they want to be part of the state. And, if you question their god, then they get mad at you because they want to be ruled. Well, the Mennonite community is kind of like that but in a good way. Like, they'll take you in and make you a good, you know, a better better person or at least a useful person.
[00:13:49] Unknown:
But they don't like, it's it's kinda related, though. Like, if their objective was to get more people in, then they would be raising foster kids or whatever, building a more, you know, population to their small I don't know what you would call it. It's not a micronation, but they're little private society, if you wanna call it that. If they wanted to turn it into, like, a city or have more people come to it, you would think they'd be doing that, but they don't do that. That's what makes me think there's some fucking going on. They just keep them, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like families and there gotta be something for adults to wanna Keep the system. You know what I mean? To keep the system going, but not necessarily
[00:14:38] Unknown:
get more people in it. You mean the men in a community like the adults want to keep it going? Yeah. Like almost
[00:14:45] Unknown:
like is their objective that we'll have our own children because they're, like, of a better stock?
[00:14:52] Unknown:
Like, the Amish don't think that, I don't think. I bet you they think that way. They just never say it.
[00:14:57] Unknown:
But the don't the Amish have outside people come in just to get genetic diversity?
[00:15:03] Unknown:
They they invite outside people in to become Amish for genetic diversity, but then they also trade between communities. Mhmm. You know, they'll contact once in Cincinnati and be like, hey. Send us some send us some ladies. You know? We'll send you some ladies.
[00:15:18] Unknown:
I don't know. I just I don't want, you know At least I think. I don't know. Berate on what do you call it? They don't have to keep keep on the sex part of it or whatever. But it just seem it does seem like a real good community. Like anybody that we've ever met for mayor has been, which hasn't been many, but they've been upstanding people.
[00:15:37] Unknown:
Well, you know, they make a lot of good moves. They buy up a lot of land. You know, they pool their money together and buy land like sort of like Indians do. And, you know, the Asian community does. They'll pool their money with relatives and other like minded people and then buy businesses and land, which, you know, that's a good deal.
[00:15:58] Unknown:
And also to like wanna like with them, it's more like a social socialistic type thing. Like they have a community hall, they all pool community clothes and things. The Amish is like almost the opposite of that. Like, they don't want any outside involvement or anything provided they wanna be left alone. They wanna make their own things and support their own communities, but each family's kinda independent. Like, when the election happened, they, I guess historically, like, don't vote. Right. And, they were so, like, kind of, I don't know, concerned with what was going on that they, like, went out and voted. Well, I think, yeah, I think there were some incidents that caused that.
[00:16:44] Unknown:
I believe some of it may have had to do with commerce. You know, the I think the government came in and stopped the Amish from maybe selling raw milk or honey. Maybe stopping some sort of operation like that. Okay. And then, I think you're right with the raw milk and the bird flu. I believe they took I don't know the details, but I think what happened was they took one of the elders, some of his property and, you know, over some time, he got it back. But whenever the election came up, they voted as a block. Yeah.
[00:17:21] Unknown:
Well, they had said something like, we don't know where the voting places are or whatever, and they got the horse and buggy situation. And I guess they said, well, we'll send bosses out if you guys get on them. They sent bosses out and they, like, overwhelmingly went out to vote. Hey.
[00:17:38] Unknown:
Do the Amish go to figure out what happens with him when you wrong somebody? Yeah. You know, one time, it's it's like, it's like how you create terrorists, except, you know, you're doing it to the Amish and they come and vote. Yeah.
[00:17:51] Unknown:
I bet they'd get wild too if things got wild.
[00:17:54] Unknown:
Dude, imagine having a community where you know you're good no matter what happens. Yeah. Like like, you can say whatever you want about branch Davidians or some cult up in I'm not equating branch Davidians with a call, but I'm saying, like, let's say there's a call in the mountains. They're always worried. Even preppers, they're always worried that they don't have enough. Imagine living in a community where you know you got it. Like, you're good. Like, we'll make clothes. We don't need power tools. We don't need power. We'll get a hundred dudes together and build a building. Yeah. You know, they do it all, and they don't worry about it. That's gotta be a stress free lifestyle. Oh, man. No bath, maybe once a week.
[00:18:37] Unknown:
See you. Peaches all canned up all the time. Wintertime, no problem. Peaches. Jerry's. Yeah. Pickles if you want them.
[00:18:48] Unknown:
It almost sounds like heaven. Yeah. I don't know, man. But, you know, you most Americans have a well, at least most good Americans have a rugged individualist streak in them. They don't go joining communities like that. They think, I can make it on my own.
[00:19:10] Unknown:
Only really there's like a sliver of Americans that that's their way of living. Like it wasn't like that in a depression and it probably hopefully or maybe won't be like that in the future depending on what you know how things shake out, but really just them. Do you got a beeper? You beat me if I swear, or you just play it?
[00:19:38] Unknown:
You can swear. I just the only thing I'd beep out is when people talk, say last names and shit. Oh, okay.
[00:19:45] Unknown:
Well, like the boomer generation, they've ruined everything. They did ruin everything. They're the only the ones that sold out all their liberties for convenience and Comfort. Totally ignorant to everything. I mean, they don't even use the fucking rear view mirror in the car. They, like, stop on the on ramp. You know what I mean? Because their necks don't work. They don't turn. They're all doped up and is emptied out and fucking retarded. They're fucking retards because they don't. I think young people's woke up to a lot of things, and we're like a different kind of generation. You know what I mean? It's almost like I think they see us kinda like our parent like our parents.
You know what I mean? Like, let me think of how to explain. Like, if you had seen Victoria in ten years, like, doing some stupid shit, like something real stupid, you'd come down on her. Yeah. But, like, that wasn't them. Like, World War two generation went off and they just crushed. They just sliced and diced, then they came home, built themselves nice little houses, and they were like, I'm gonna chill. Hopefully, my kid ain't a fucking retard doing retard you know what I mean? Doing stupid shit. And they kinda did. That's exactly what this kid did. Well, like, if you went off the water five years ago, and you would have came home, but then it been like the wealthiest country on her and you said, damn, I'm gonna go out by a hundred acres and build myself a little house and you work for another five years and build that little house. And then you see like, you know, Victoria Diner hair blue, you'd be like, what the fuck? But would you really have the energy to want to intervene? You know what I mean? We never want to see your kid going down a path that's gonna ruin their life. You know? So you always try to correct them and keep them between the ditches. Right. So when you see that,
[00:21:37] Unknown:
it's, I don't know, it's like instant disappointment. So what you're gonna do is you're gonna come down hard because you don't want your kid to end up Right. Because they may not see their future, but you can. Which was the grandparent generation.
[00:21:52] Unknown:
Like, Like, I remember on the farm, Myrtle, me and my little brother was up there and we used to throw in pairs. And my grandpa, you know, his what Myrtle, she seen us throw in pairs and she freaked out. She was like, I'm effing kids are up there throwing in pairs, wasting them because they were depression people, you know? And they would come down like on my dad or my mom if he was doing something stupid. And then when they passed away, it's like our parents just kept doing the stupid shit, stupid boomer shit, getting scammed, investing in time shit, wasting our money, like not thinking about anything real, like I should buy land or I should buy gold. And there are those kids like whose parents did do that, and they're the ones that everybody says, Oh, well, these people own all the land over in small. These people own all the land up on the mountain because their parents were smart. But for the most part, they did like, you know, most of the boomer kids just went off Totally ignorant. Oh, they
[00:22:50] Unknown:
were the easy lifestyle, anything, any new fad or anything that ever blew into town. They just did it because
[00:22:56] Unknown:
I mean, everything was plentiful. I mean, one and the predator class bear down on them. They're to what? Like, the pharmaceutical companies are eating old people right now, like at Boomer generation, just crushing them because they're too dumb to read or they're fooled by things like, oh, the vaccine safe and effective, safe. And you could basically lie to the boomer generation. They don't know how the Internet works. They don't talk to nobody else. They don't they had forgotten everything. Grandparents' generation, they knew how to grow a tomato, grow a potato, when to put the garlic in, how to raise chicken, you know, only that really boomer generation and maybe like the what would it be? The millennial generation maybe a little bit? Don't?
[00:23:39] Unknown:
I don't know, man. I I'd say the millennials and I'd say the millennials are quite capable. Yeah. Young kids are getting it. They are. I mean, they looked they took a look around. They said, you know what? Everybody's everybody's bagging on us. Mhmm. You know? And they were they were, would have been a time I don't I don't even know what generation we're in now. Generation alpha, whatever. But they looked around and they said everybody's bagging on us. And, clearly, what the people before us did are doing didn't work. So we better we better figure something out. So they did. Yeah. And they're killing it. They are good for them. Young kids getting into trades
[00:24:17] Unknown:
again. Like, it's laughable now because when the economy gets bad, you hear all these stories or you see guys driving their diesel trucks around it. You know, dirty hands, clean money, like those kids are doing good, younger kids are doing good, our grandparents' generation did good. It's just that one right in the middle there. That sliver forgot, you know?
[00:24:40] Unknown:
There's this book I read maybe a year ago. It's called, like, The Fourth Turning, and it talks about, like, generations that puts them in categories. Uh-huh. And it's it's related to that, like, good times make Yeah. Weak men type thing. And, I can't name all the generations in this book, but it started, the history in this book started, as far back as the guy could, I guess, corroborate some evidence. So, he went back to, let's say, maybe like the War of the Roses type stuff. You know, mid fifteen hundred's or early sixteen hundred's? And, he started with naming the generations. And, he has all these charts and graphs, and he names these generations, depending on what it was, you know. It wasn't documented, but he's like saying, okay, twenty five years you had this generation. And, then there's always something that happens to the last generation. The last generation always has a huge crisis that they're forced to contend with.
So if you brought that up to now I could I could relate some of it as best I could, but if you brought that up to modern times, the great crisis of the previous generation was what? World War two. Okay. And then so that's the fourth generation of that group. So the first, maybe the golden age generation, and then what they call it, the silent generation, and then the the lost generation, and then the greatest generation, which was the kids who fought World War two. Okay. Then the first generation is the boomers. The boomers have it good. The crisis has been solved. Yeah.
Great existential crisis has been solved. They got it good. And he relates this all the way back in history. It's always that first generation that is the worst. Okay. You know? Or they ruin it. They take all the heights and the greats of what the great of what the previous generation created and solved for them, And then they basically rebel because times are good. And then you get the next generation, which for what we know is Generation X. And that generation is left on their own because the previous generation is so self absorbed that the next generation is basically left to fend for themselves.
Then, the generation comes after that. Since you were left on your own, you become, like, what they say, call used to call helicopter parents, which creates the millennials. You know, you're looking at everything they're doing, like, the kids weren't allowed to do it. And then you get the next generation, which is what do they call it? I don't know what they call it last generation. X? Or Z. Is it Gen Z? Okay. I think it's Gen Z. It's the fourth, right? So, what this book is saying is that just Gen, this the gen z, they're gonna have a major crisis that's gonna make them the heroes, like the greatest generation was.
Now if you go back to World War two, the greatest generation were the kids, the youngest, like, the last generation, the 18 year olds, 17 year olds running off the war. But the the the people who were the generals of that were the, basically, the gen x ers of their time. Mhmm. They were called upon. They were, like, in their 50 forties and fifties already, but they were called upon to come back and lead the greatest generation to victory. I mean, is what this is contending in, you know, in a in a, you know, a lot more evidence of what I'm putting to it here. So they're saying that this Gen z is going to have a huge crisis and Gen X will be called up to be the the managers of it, like the leaders to, like, you know, basically the the tacticians of the whole thing to solve this crisis for Gen Z. But, Gen Z will take the credit.
Okay. You know, Gen Z will take, you know, they'll be considered the greatest generation of this eighty year, hundred year generational span. And I forget what they call it. Turnings. They call it like turnings, I think, maybe. And, and then after that, there'll be another generation of just useless people that are cruising on, basically the highs of the Gen Z solving the, you know, fixing the existential crisis. And it says and then this book basically just shows how this happened throughout history. The only hiccup ever was the civil war. Like, the civil war was basically the only anomaly.
But everything else was, because it happened at an off time. Like, it they they say, like, it's every eighty to a hundred years, there's there's a major crisis and the generations, they all follow the same pattern and have to solve it in that same way. You know? It's a I mean, it's a it's a pretty good book. Really interesting to see, you know, the way this guy puts it. But he does it, like, 12 times over, you know, going back in history. He's saying, you know, whatever war or whatever, you know, the revolutionary war, same thing. Like, General Washington was basically the gen actor of his time, called up called upon to lead the younger people to to victory.
And then, you know, obviously, it happens again and again.
[00:30:26] Unknown:
I mean, throughout world history or American history?
[00:30:31] Unknown:
World history. World history.
[00:30:34] Unknown:
I don't know.
[00:30:36] Unknown:
Yeah. It's pretty good. It's an interesting take on it. It gives you hope. You know?

I think that there's definitely something to be said for that, like in a seventy year or hundred year cycle. I thought I heard something about a seventy year cycle before too. I think it's seventy, eighty to a hundred, something like that. It's an estimate. I think there's something to what you were saying about, like, inside of those major generations, there's smaller cycles or whatever. You know, like every 30 years, we do a war, right? Every 33 or whatever, we're doing a war. So you would think that there would be some cyclical, you know, like veterans come home, they think like this, they raise their families like this, or they enjoy some prosperity from winning a war.
But then the civil war is true. It's true, but you
[00:31:28] Unknown:
I'm not talking about, wars that we you know, let's say from World War two to now, nobody fought a real war. I mean, I'm not disparaging anybody saying you didn't fight a real war, but, I mean, these were all police actions, weren't they? In Korea? What were we doing in Korea? Growing that GDP, baby. We were trying to were we trying to protect Japanese colonies or oust Japanese colonies from Korea or protecting South Korea? What were we doing? And then we did and then Vietnam. Not real. I'm not saying it wasn't horrible. I'm just saying not declared. Not a world war. It wasn't World War Two. Yeah. You know, so these these things didn't create like a I mean, it created something within that generation, but didn't create like an existential crisis like World War two did. Well, they weren't,
[00:32:27] Unknown:
you know, World War two was a war over philosophy in some way. Yeah. You know, communism versus socialism versus being free. You know, those were
[00:32:40] Unknown:
And you could say a lot of things about World War two, and I don't know if any of them could be would be correct because what what you could you could start off by saying that the bankers caused World War two. Well, I could get behind that. That's what I'm saying is
[00:32:53] Unknown:
the notion of the people working for the bankers in, like, some type of disguise form of, like, slavery or whatever that I mean that. But then that goes back to the civil war, goes back to the European wars. Really? The wars that the Vatican fought, like you're basically gonna be a subsidiary of us and pay your dues and we're gonna take your gold and we're gonna let you be, but your ruling establishment will be of us. You know what I mean? Like the Borgias in Spain. Or just gangsters. Just a mafia. Yeah. I mean,
[00:33:35] Unknown:
paying for protection.
[00:33:40] Unknown:
Rome had always enjoyed, like, a system where the territories outside paid dues. But, I mean, we still kinda do that today or whatever.
[00:33:54] Unknown:
Well, if you were Rome, you went out and conquered you know, you moved into an area and conquered people, having them pay dues for protection. Sounds better than having bloody savages come out of the Northeast and slaughtering you.
[00:34:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I mean, I mean, they went all the way north to London, And then after the Spanish become very powerful, you know, the Spanish Navy, very powerful. And then they come to South America, the Spaniards get all that gold, bring it back, and give it back to the Vatican. Then those same Spaniards come north to America, you know, Christopher Columbus.
[00:34:37] Unknown:
He's Italian. Dega.
[00:34:43] Unknown:
He's still from Spain, right? No. He was,
[00:34:47] Unknown:
commissioned by the king and queen of Spain. They said send him. Send him. Oh, hey. He had the fucking balls to go. Yeah.
[00:34:57] Unknown:
Also, everybody leave the Earth was flat back then. Yeah. And Antarctica didn't appear. You fall right off, you know?
[00:35:06] Unknown:
Gotta have big balls like a bull. Italian bull.
[00:35:11] Unknown:
But then, ain't that kind of weird, though? Like the Spaniards engage in this system where they go, they pillage, they kill all the local people, and then they get the gold and they bring it back.
[00:35:21] Unknown:
Why they do it? They had the Navy. Well, yeah. It wasn't them. It would have been someone else. But they get going for the gold, though. You know what I mean? Then the civil war breaks out. Wouldn't have gone to get the gold. You telling me that Spanish were the only ones craving gold or the or, you know, for the Vatican? If the Vatican could have sent the Italians, they'd have sent them. Right. If they could have sent if they could have sent Visigoths there and they would have sent them. Yeah. Like America wants to
[00:35:49] Unknown:
push up against Russia or whatever, so they send the Ukrainians. Yeah, send the Ukrainians. You just financially back the thing. That's, you know, that's all you got to do. Dude, this Ukrainian thing drives me insane. Well, before we get off of that, it's like the Spaniards sent ships down south during a civil war and then it's like, well, why is Spain involved in our civil war? But then like in the South, they're practicing slavery, like a system that's always existed on the behalf of Rome or the Vatican or Spain or to South American excursions, whatever you wanna call that.
You know, they wanna see this system keep going.
[00:36:31] Unknown:
You're saying it's the Vatican's way of ensuring part of the old world stays viable even though you had people, you know, like Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson, all these, classic liberal thinkers trying to basically change humanity for to get away from that. You know, they were trying to absolutely they were trying to completely change humanity's mind about you don't pay fealty to a king or somebody above you. It's now you, which was extremely dangerous. You're saying the South was encouraged by the old world to keep a system in place Or, I think they're more like they're used to or more like they want, almost to bring down the Well, Rome would be like England. Right? Like the center of power moves. So, like the Bank of England is like the bankers.
[00:37:30] Unknown:
And, it has something to do also with, like, in England, you had royalty, right? Like they were rich and powerful, like oligarchs. And then the economy kind of opens up during the Industrial Revolution. So, now you have like a, say you're like a guy that makes fucking lumber, you know what I mean? You just had a little old lumber mill and now you got all this dough. Like the industrialists raised a new blue blood class, so things like had to change. So, the banking class like emerges. Centralized banking, you know, centralized banking becomes big and it's the Bank of England. And then America starts to grow its legs and go through its own industrial revolution, so the center of power has the potential to change.
And then as we industrialize, like, we become a very wealthy place and people start to take notice and say, hey, we gotta get involved in that. You got this place that's developing over here. They're industrialized in the North. In the South, they got slave laborers. You know what I mean? They practice slave labor and agriculture. So, other countries who are more powerful than us, who are currently superpowers while we're a developing nation, look at us and say, we need a stake. Well, they definitely tried to undermine that. Well, right. Because Spain sent warships to the South, and England sent sent warships
[00:39:02] Unknown:
on behalf of the North up to New York. Well, I think they were trying to undermine and antagonize not only from then, but from, like, let's say, 1787.
[00:39:11] Unknown:
You know what I mean? For sure. I mean, yeah. The civil war was But that war going on between Russia and the bankers, Russia was currently like, before the civil war happened, Russia was kicking the bankers out of Russia. So Alexander looks at the situation in America and says, this can't happen. Dude, Russia is always kicking the bankers out of Russia. Right. Even to this day. And the Russia the Russians wanted to help us kick the bankers out of America. So they ended up sending the Russian warships and said, if you two idiots get involved in this, we're gonna go ahead and get involved in it, and we're gonna fucking keep the peace. We're gonna let America go through its own experiment and become exactly what it wants to be.
So you never heard about, like, Spanish ships engage in English ships or whatever over in fucking the New York Harbor on behalf of Spain, though, too. You know what I mean? Like, that system continue in that system of slavery or whatever. Who
[00:40:08] Unknown:
who came over and had ships staged off our shores during the civil war? Russia.
[00:40:14] Unknown:
Who else? Spain and England.
[00:40:18] Unknown:
Okay. So Well, I don't What was
[00:40:22] Unknown:
each country's purpose for being here? Well, they were going to back Assad. Spain was going to back the South, and England was going to back the North. Okay. And Russia? But that was going to turn into that kind of World War. Right? Like on a, it's an away game for both of those places. Yeah. So they're going to make sure that this huge country with all this natural beauty and wealth or whatever lands up, you know, lands the way that they want it to be. Heads up or tails up?
[00:40:53] Unknown:
What was Russia's Navy doing there? If England's back in the North and
[00:40:57] Unknown:
Spain's back in the South? I don't think it ever became a thing where they confronted each other. No, I know. They think it was Alexander the second basically saying that you guys do that. So, it was a pre threat, but I think that Spain did have warships in the South. I think they actually showed up off North Carolina or something like that. I don't know. We
[00:41:15] Unknown:
would have to fact check me on that. These things these are the types of things I wish I knew more about because I mean, I've ignored pretty much the civil war. I don't I know almost nothing about civil war history, and I wish I knew some of the deeper stuff like you know about this. Oh, fuck. Like, this is this is the interesting shit. Well, I'm, like, spitting this off. I mean, I like I like the idea the theory that Russia's been protecting The United States for as long as we've been around, you know, because they they want us to succeed. They do. Yeah. I mean, that's a that's a that's an interesting theory.
[00:41:51] Unknown:
Well, what did they do right after that? Sold us Alaska. Exactly. Like, hey. You guys don't need them fucking centralized bankers. But then the creature from Jack O'Loughlin comes.
[00:42:04] Unknown:
It's funny how they've tried to do this several times, and several times we've sent them packing until 1913 when we welcomed them with a fucking open arms. But what? It happened a couple times during the eighteen hundreds. Right? Or no? I mean, it even happened before the 1800. They they tried to establish a central bank. We told them I believe they told what is it? Alexander Hamilton? Told him no. We don't want it. Then then it was, what? They did establish the first Bank of America second Bank of America somewhere around eighteen, sixteen, seventeen. In New York or whatever. And then Andrew Jackson sent him packing?
[00:42:50] Unknown:
Yeah. It didn't it wasn't what, I mean, you couldn't get your gold back until, like, what, 1971 or 1973. So, like, we were still gold backed. I think you could still get your gold in 1971 or 1973.
[00:43:13] Unknown:
You could, but it was limited.
[00:43:16] Unknown:
Maybe it was 1931, but then in 1970 well, I think they did that in 1971, and then in 1973, they made it where Congress could operate under a deficit. Like, they could pass spending bills on deficit. Like, that's what threw everything way out of whack. You know what I mean? Like, you couldn't get your gold back. And then also congress was spending money that they didn't actually have. You know what I mean? The budget could operate in a deficit. So now it's like that's how you get real bad inflation. Well, you know
[00:43:52] Unknown:
because now you're spending This is this is where we we were talking about yes the other day whenever I was I was saying I didn't think you were right about the the the gold because there was a time we went off the gold standard because we used to pay our trade deficits with gold. So they found that to be unsustainable because we're giving all our gold reserves away because as we were a powerful developing country, you know, we were obviously operating with a trade deficit because we needed to buy things from other countries, which is a normal thing to do. Like, it's it's, I would say, pretty normal to have a trade, slight trade deficit with another country. Yeah. To do normal, worldly business, right? It doesn't mean you're failing. I mean, obviously, now, you know, we have a trade deficit with every country in the world. And, maybe that's a symptom of being the world's reserve currency.
But we used to have to give our gold away to pay for the trade deficit, which I think is why they went off the gold standard is because they will it allowed them to just use fiat currency to pay debts to other countries. So we kept the gold, yet gave them what, you know, everybody considered a piece of, you know, legal tender that you could do business with. And, you know, for some reason, they accepted it because we I mean, maybe not before. We weren't probably the world reserve currency until, what, nineteen fifties or something. But I don't think we're paying trade deficits in gold to this day. I mean, people are still accepting our fiat dollars for it, or they we buy treasuries from their country or we let their country invest here.
So we allow the Chinese to pay, you know, to buy investments here to pay the trade deficit that we have with them. When there's a deal? Well, I think they have a deal all the time. That's why there's no world war. Yeah. But if you operate a deficit every year for ten years, eventually, they're gonna wanna square up. Well, I think they're squaring up because they're getting investments here. That's why we're selling half the country to the Chinese or in other countries is because we have a trade deficit with them and then we allow them to invest here. And we buy their treasuries, which keeps their economy, probably their countries afloat. I don't know, though.
I'm talking out of my ass. But but like I said the other day, I didn't think you were correct because I we're not giving our gold away unless there's something you don't that I that you know that I don't. Last year, we bought a what? A 31
[00:46:35] Unknown:
tons of gold. Did it create a situation where there was negative inflation or zero inflation? You know what I mean? Like, did you see anywhere where they said in the CPI index inflation is gonna stay at zero because we bought 131 tons of gold? No. What a gold got put into our system.
[00:47:02] Unknown:
Why would that stop inflation? The thing that causes inflation is printing money.
[00:47:11] Unknown:
Right. Putting gold in here. If you print money where you can't back it by the equivalent, as soon as you get away from one for one, you have inflation. So if you put more gold in but you don't print any money, you should have deflation. Yeah, but it's not tied to gold anymore, so it doesn't,
[00:47:28] Unknown:
these are two different things now.
[00:47:30] Unknown:
I think, I don't know, but Well, yeah, they wind up, you wind up in deficit. But, what I'm saying is they're putting gold into the system, but we don't ever see that. Like, we don't ever see an effect of it. No.
[00:47:47] Unknown:
I don't think you would. I think they're, you know, they're stockpiling. I don't think it changes the system. You know, you don't see any difference in prices Right. Because we constantly print more money. So, if you run a 2,000,000,000 $200,000,000,000
[00:48:02] Unknown:
deficit with China for three years and you're down $600,000,000,000 you know, or three years at $200,000,000,000 you know, at the end of year three, maybe you say, hey, I don't think this is going to turn on its head. We need to settle up. That's how they do that through the Bank of International Settlements.
[00:48:19] Unknown:
But they do settle up, like I said, with What? With beep bop boops? With no. They're they're selling they're selling investments. I mean
[00:48:27] Unknown:
What's Greece gonna sell?
[00:48:30] Unknown:
Nothing. Right. The country is bankrupt. We don't have a trade deficit with Greece. Right. They don't fucking produce anything.
[00:48:37] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[00:48:38] Unknown:
But China, I mean Where'd their gold go? Our our our economy is buying everything from China. So, you know, yeah, a huge trade deficit. We probably have a trade deficit with almost every industrialized country on Earth. I don't think I think that it's a bad thing if you do it forever. But, you know, like you said, a couple of years, it's probably normal. What should happen is it should go the other way because it it probably it's tied to savings too. Right? So what it's saying is that if we have a trade deficit with China, all these Americans are can't stop buying Chinese goods. So what they're not doing is saving their money. They're buying shit on Tmoo.
So it's saying that savings is bad too. You know, America's if America just started saving their money, we wouldn't have a trade deficit because they'd stop buying garbage. And, I know that consumer stuff's probably, it's probably a large part of it. I mean, part of me would say maybe it's not a large part of it because it's just cheap, you know, stuff from China, you know, and the real trade deficit comes from maybe our government buying minerals or something from China. But, I'm gonna say all the cheap Chinese crap that we get is probably the larger portion of it. Yeah. You know, because Americans can't stop. We can't stop buying shit. Right. So, if we're in the whole $200,000,000,000
[00:50:05] Unknown:
every year, eventually, they're gonna want their money.
[00:50:08] Unknown:
But, are they gonna want dollar bills? I think they're getting it. They're getting land.
[00:50:13] Unknown:
They're getting investments. Well, they're doing that. But what I'm saying is just on the raw trade deficit, like, hey, you guys imported X amount of goods. You owe us this much tariff on it or taxes. They have to square up. If not, why wouldn't we just be in deficit with everybody all the time and just keep shoveling them our fake dollar bills? Like, the central bankers want paid. This isn't an exchange for countries, it's an exchange for the bankers like the Central Bank of England or the Central Bank of the United States. They want paid in real money.
And the constitution tells you what real money is, gold and silver coin.
[00:50:56] Unknown:
We're talking about illegitimate bankers. We're talking about illegitimate bankers, not real bankers. Well, yeah. Not the teller, you know. Listen. Those kind of bankers. Listen. No matter what anybody says, if you're at the top, you want gold. Right. So I don't care what anybody says. You can say fiat currency. You know, anybody can say that, oh, yeah. These central banks, you know, they want paid, but you're right. They want paid in gold. The people at the top of the Ponzi scheme don't want fiat dollars. And I'm telling you, there's airplanes that take off full of gold going to different places
[00:51:29] Unknown:
periodically. Yeah. But is it
[00:51:32] Unknown:
Yeah. Well
[00:51:35] Unknown:
The Pink Panthers robbed one of them. You can Google it. Well, the bankers are getting paid
[00:51:40] Unknown:
through they're they're getting paid, they're they're printing fiat money and taking gold in exchange for it. Or they're taking the labor of every citizen in The United States. Guaranteed.
[00:51:57] Unknown:
They're actually doing something way worse than that. Which, you know, they're actually not even taking in gold. They're taking your credit application and they're printing money based on it. For sure. Like, when you apply for a car loan what? Do you not wanna get into this? I you can go. I
[00:52:21] Unknown:
I I don't have anything When you apply I don't have anything to add to because I don't know anything about it. But if you're gonna get into it, when you apply for a car loan or you wanna do it another time? No. Just quick. When you apply for car loan, car loan's $35,000,
[00:52:33] Unknown:
whatever it is. You apply for the the application is the credit. Like, you you are the principal. You're the wealth generator. So, what you're doing is you're telling them, like, hey, I need $35,000 to go buy this truck to work on my farm, and they're taking that promissory note that you create and they're taking it to the UCC ten window and they're getting paid in dollar bit. They're a lot you know, fractional reserve banking and these type of rules allow them to take that $35,000 get paid in full, but then fractionally reserve, you know, 90% of whatever that is.
Agreed. So a hundred thousand dollar truck, they got to put they get to loan out $90,000 of it and also, they took your hundred thousand dollar credit loan application and they got paid up. So now, they got a hundred thousand in the bank of cash directly from the UCC window and then on top of that, they're loaning out 90,000 that they don't even have on the books, Just over your hundred thousand dollar application. Yes. So every credit application, you know, is free doubling your money. That's why when you go into a Lowe's or Home Depot, they want you to do that fucking credit application because they've started their own banks. So now, they're fractionally reserved banking, you know, 90% of everything that your card's good up for, but then they also take that $10,000 application and they go and get paid $10,000 and put that in their bank. They doubled their money for free. Mhmm.
The whole economy is moving on like money that ain't real, but gold's real. Countries won't pay in gold. They're getting their gold. It's just happening on an airplane late at night. Nobody knows.
[00:54:17] Unknown:
How do we start a bank?
[00:54:19] Unknown:
Oh, this is a question that I've asked beep and beep a million times. Jezebel. Jezebel and Bujondra. I've asked them about a thousand times, like, why can't you start your own but then I don't even think it can be a branch bank. It has to be like
[00:54:38] Unknown:
What what if you started, like Elon Musk wants to start a service like Venmo or something, you know, or on x where you pay. You use it like PayPal. Uh-huh. That's sort of like starting a bank but without without all the rules. Right?
[00:54:57] Unknown:
Well, yeah. I mean, if you could convince everybody to use your x bucks or whatever. So now they're doing, like, the same scam. Like, he'll take all your greenbacks Mhmm. Put them all in the bank vault. Yep. And then you're gonna be spending x bucks. So then he can take all your greenbacks and take them to Saudi Arabia and buy himself a nice house, and you never know the wiser.
[00:55:20] Unknown:
Yeah. Old banking rules would say you'd have to keep reserves, but if there's no rules on a company like that, they can just spend all your money. You only gotta have 10% reserves? I don't even think you have to have 10 anymore. I think they upped it to 10. I don't think you have to have 10. Really? I think you can have way less. I think it's down to somewhere like 1.7% or something. Yeah. I believe in the latest revision of E. W. Griffin's creature from Jekyll Island, he updates it, and he says it's more like 1.7%.
[00:55:55] Unknown:
The common theme in all of this stuff though is it does follow the bankers. It does follow like the bankers getting kicked out of Eastern Europe by the Russians, them needing some place to go. Which bankers? Central bankers. Russia. Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe. I mean, it had a lot to do with Ukraine. Had a lot to do with
[00:56:20] Unknown:
Are you talking about modern times?
[00:56:22] Unknown:
I'm talking about civil war times. Okay. Go back 1862 or 1863,
[00:56:28] Unknown:
something like that. This is what? The czar Nicholas? Alexander. Alexander. Okay. Yeah. He knew Alexander the second. Now, see, I wish I knew this history better. I think Alexander and Alexander the second. I don't know. We'd have to look. So I wish I knew more about this. There's some of this happened with Napoleon as well. Right? He he wanted to throw the bankers out of France. Everybody always wants to throw the bankers out of everywhere. Yeah. Because the smart people know that they're ruining everything. But then but then you get caught up and you need money for your war, so then you're like, alright. I'll take money from the bankers, and then you're stuck. And then you end up dying on an island Right. Getting poisoned by the fucking green wallpaper. Yeah.
[00:57:13] Unknown:
Lot of bankers have been persecuted all over Europe. Oh, poor bankers. Poor
[00:57:18] Unknown:
bankers. Boy, everywhere they go, they I tell you what they're they're catching a lot of flack these days. They're catching some flack these days. It's almost like people are realizing it again. Yeah.
[00:57:38] Unknown:
Well, you know, they start that system up over here, and now look at us. We're Rome. Mhmm. It's you know?
[00:57:49] Unknown:
I tell you what, why can't people just be free? Or why can't they be smart enough to get in on the game? One or the other.
[00:57:55] Unknown:
Well, we were free, then some bankers came here, and now we're not. But then it seems a lot, you know, it seems a lot like some other type of system like that centralized power wants to take up your gold and enslave you. It doesn't really matter who's behind it or which flavor of it is. It's always the same thing. We were like the first experiment where we owned everything, like we owned all the land, we owned all the gold, the government worked for us. That's like a whole backwards concept. Yeah. And that that was a big no no. Right. And, like, the civil war really gets into it because, you know, people make it about slavery, people make it about states' rights. I mean, is it even about states' rights?
Like, you look into the whole thing, like, you had outside pressures that wanted to reshape America into a certain thing. Was it just about states' rights? You know, you had these empires and superpowers putting their influence on it, telling us what we think that was about. Just like today, we know that the South like, we know that the Civil War didn't start over slavery, but 90% of people think that still today. Mhmm. Like, it was a huge economic push. There were political influences coming from overseas. There were people with ideas on what the overarching concept of America was gonna look like, that these people had this power and they had this wealth, this land.
And how do we get some of that? How do we, you know, get ourselves in on that upper rung of whatever that society shapes out to be? And I think we still just ain't. I think that we were really close to losing it. That boomer generation just kinda slept while it almost slipped out of the fingertips of the average American, and now it's turning back.
[00:59:46] Unknown:
I don't know. I don't have that much faith. I don't think it's turning back. No? No. People are asleep still.
[00:59:55] Unknown:
I don't know, John.
[00:59:57] Unknown:
If they put one listen. If if Donald Trump could put one more Band Aid on it, everybody would go right back to sleep.
[01:00:03] Unknown:
It's hard to say right now. It's real early. You know, some of the things he did do and then some of the things that he is you know, it's hard to
[01:00:15] Unknown:
it's hard to have faith whenever you just keep saying the same thing repeat. You know? You think you think you're getting a you think you're getting a champion. Everybody thinks they're getting a champion. And what's he do? Yeah. I mean, yeah. It would have been worse worse had it gone the other way, but only it it would have been just more sudden, maybe. Now it's just still a slow slow burn. We'll get there eventually, just not as quick.
[01:00:43] Unknown:
You think you mean what do you mean by get there?
[01:00:47] Unknown:
Total, you know, total, I think we're going down the path pretty quickly of, this the economy collapsing and the central bank basically stepping in to be the hero and saying, we've got a solution. We can put everybody's money. You know, we'll we'll collect all the money and all the dollars on Earth will all be destroyed. You know? We'll we'll put everyone on a on a central bank digital currency. What we'll do to alleviate this and make people more accepting of us is we'll get rid of all everybody's debts. All your debts are gone. Uh-huh. You know? And everybody will be like, oh my god. It it can't be bad. Let's go to the central bank digital currency. All my debts are forgiven. Let's start over at zero. But then you're on the you're on complete digital control at that point. Right?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say right. That's that's stupid. It's like a hypnotic technique. I know. I know what you mean. And, I I think everybody does it. But, I think we were we were headed towards it, and it would have happened really quickly. And then everybody suddenly got some breathing room. Everybody thought, oh, alright. We got somebody who's going to, be the champion. He's gonna keep us from this. But then you turn around and look, and he's got Elon Musk who definitely wants to have a digital currency. Mhmm. And probably, but won't say it, a social credit.
Let's talk about that. It's the same thing. Yes, it's the same thing. Right. Nobody will ever say it, but what they wanna do is they wanna control your behavior eventually because they know that there are billions of regular people and a small minority of people in charge. So, if they can control you from a distance using your money, then that's the ultimate goal. You know, you no longer do it through war or anything or population control. You're basically just controlling people's lives through their check, you know, through their bank account. And, you know, I guess you could say it's all tied back to there. But I think we're just heading down the same route, just a little slower. Maybe faster. Maybe the best thing would have been for Donald Trump to lose.
Everything crash. Everybody reject all this crap. We get back to something more like a gold standard in a hundred years, you know, fifty years after we lived through the dark ages. Mhmm. You know? But then when we come out the other end, much like Ron Paul used to say, hey. It's gonna hurt for a generation, but when we come out, we're gonna be stronger than ever, you know, which nobody liked that message back in the day. Nobody wants to hear Ron Paul say that. That's why he lost, you know. And people were scared. They wanted a band aid. Well, you know, after the dark ages will come out, we could have came out stronger. But I think maybe Trump's delaying it is what I'm saying. It's like, we're getting there, he's just delaying it.
You think so? Yeah. I think so. I got no hope. I got no hope. I know. You got no optimism. I don't. I lost I lost optimism. But,
[01:03:57] Unknown:
it's still exciting. Would you ever try to, do an experiment with yourself and write that down and then think about how the exact opposite will work?
[01:04:09] Unknown:
No, but I will.
[01:04:13] Unknown:
Like what? I I personally believe that Trump thinks he's Alexander the Great comeback. I don't think his objective is to get through four years. I don't think his objective is to even be Kennedy. I think his objective is to go down in history as the greatest president ever and return us back to, like, a gold standard system in the wealthiest country on Earth and people will build statues to him. Just making it, I don't think to him is good enough.
[01:04:56] Unknown:
I hope that you're right. That would be amazing.
[01:05:01] Unknown:
Like on year three and a half or year three of his presidency, him say, I'm gonna build the greatest building America's ever seen. Like, that's what he does, you know, like Hank Reardon. Yeah. But like he was talking about building that hero's park like he wants to build shit. Well, you got to have money to build shit, and you can't just be building shit while we got all these problems going on. I think that all these things I I like I like your idea of this, and I, you know, we were talking about this before, and I definitely
[01:05:31] Unknown:
thought the same way. I would like this to be true. Like, believe me, if he's the person that sets it up again for all time for for people to be free and prosperous, he definitely will be the greatest man of all time. I got no hope. You see how they are to You know if Trump built a Hero's Park? That shit would be made out of fucking chicken wire and plaster and shit. Uh-uh.
[01:05:58] Unknown:
My man's got a gold toilet. Go back. Look on a machine there. I don't have the Internet. He's of that era. Like, we got golden toilets on Wall Street up here. He thinks different. I hope he thinks different. Well, I hope he I hope he does too. I mean, for everybody. So, well, I mean, the alternative is calamity, and I'm for it. Let's get down.
[01:06:19] Unknown:
I'm down for that. That's way more exciting. But Yeah. But it's not exciting when you think about the greatest experiment that's ever happened and the people that tried to make it possible and what they sacrificed. Like, you'd want it to see it continue. Right? I'd wanna see it continue just for that. Now, like you said, I'm down for calamity.

I followed this, these lip readers. You ever you ever check out a lip reader?
[01:10:06] Unknown:
No.
[01:10:07] Unknown:
No. I don't think I've ever checked out a lip reader, but I I like it. Well, like, you watch this idea. You watch a football game, you get it, like, a lip reader on there, and they can tell you what the like, oh, these two gals are sitting on a bench talking to each other. Lip reader tell you what they're saying. I've seen, Barron Trump Joe Biden. I don't know when this was. I guess, I don't know if it was a speech or something. I don't know what the heck it was or whatever, but it was after Trump won the election and Joe Biden is there and Baron Trump comes around and he's like, hey buddy, how you how you doing? I haven't seen you in a little bit or whatever.
And the lip reader said Barron Trump looks over and shakes his hand and he goes, exactly. And Biden got this confused look on his face. And Barron Trump just walks off from him and you see Joe Biden look around and you can almost hear that music. These I think these people are a different people, John. Like, he's gonna create a dynasty. If he doesn't, he's a fool because he should. Oh, he should. He's definitely poised to do it. He's poised to do it. It's like you could be Hitler and don't do bad things. It don't matter what you do anyway because they're gonna treat you like Hitler if you don't make it to the end. If you don't win at the end, they're just gonna, you know, frame history around you in some kind of weird way. But you're in an economic uncertain time where people are sick, the immigration is crazy, the borders are unstable, there's wars going on, there's crazy inflation. Like, you're basically living in pre war Germany. You're living in, like, a 1936, '19 '30 '8 Germany. Yeah.
[01:11:46] Unknown:
Decadence.
[01:11:48] Unknown:
Why not take the opportunity? Like, grab the reins and go for it? Like, what do you got to lose? You should. He he has nothing to lose. He's the end of his life. I mean, he's got family, but I think they're ready to do it. Well, I think he's smarter than me. I've been breathing brick dust all day. I would think that he maybe had thought this through, but he raises a kind of kid that looks at Joe Biden in the face and says exactly. Like, stone cold, barren Trump. That's pretty good. Yeah. Like, we're on another level, buddy. Plus, like, the, you know, the people behind him, he got real strong people behind him. He got, like,
[01:12:30] Unknown:
maybe some He does, but what if they're a bunch of dopes? I mean, what if you are Hitler and you just do nothing? Like like, Hitler had ambition, but, like, what what if these people were Hitler, but they just got they're just not gonna do anything? They're just gonna mill around the White House for four years and fail and then and then leave? I don't know. Like, wouldn't that be terrible?
[01:12:50] Unknown:
I just don't think after his last four years of a presidency that he's dumb enough to make mistakes like he did before. Like, he spent all that time tied up in some bullshit Russian collusion, you know? Yeah. And he was just getting just getting his feet wet, you know, and then had to deal with With the lawfare and all that stuff. And then had to fight it for four more years while he wasn't president. Yeah. So it's like he fought himself up from a power you know what I mean? Like, he's fighting them off of him one by one, but now it seems like he's green light. Like, he can railroad through whatever. Like, he's got he's on the other side of it, finally.
There hasn't been nothing about no investigations that I think the Elon Trump thing is genius, actually, because he takes all the flack like a decoy. Mhmm. And, he's the hatchet man. Yeah. And you could blame whatever on him. If you need a guy to take a fall, there's lots of good you know, good Yeah. Plus Trump could always be like, hey. You're fired. You know? And Elon takes all the flack. They're still buddies. It's just he's out of the public eye. He's got no shortage of people behind him that wanna be president for MAGA. Bobby Kennedy, JD Vance, Marco Rubio. All of them are jockeying for that.
[01:14:06] Unknown:
Plus, look at the good job those people are doing. I mean, Marco Rubio used to be a hack. Now look at him.
[01:14:11] Unknown:
Yeah. I mean, that dude is serious. He's got them little hands too. Don't forget about that. Trump's funny, man. I think it'll be funny whenever Bobby Kennedy wants to run for president and he gives it to Vance and Kennedy runs as a Democrat again. What are they gonna do? You know? You wanna talk about people whose ass out, what's them fucking retard Democrats gonna do?
[01:14:35] Unknown:
They got nothing. They're flailing. Do you see them the other day at the State of the Union? They had these little flip things. I saw I saw little bits of that. It that seemed crazy. It said, like, lies on the back of it. Don't the don't the Republicans do the same dumb shit to them whenever there's a State of the Union? Not not to the extreme, but they still do that dumb crap. They get somebody standing up and yelling at them. Yeah. But the audacity of holding a lollipop that says lies when you were the one saying sharp as attack. Yeah. I know. Well, hey. History only exists for the past ten minutes for those people. Right. They don't care. Well, in history also And they keep pushing forward because they know that everybody else's attention spans short. So there's people to watch that, and they think that when they put turn that thing around that says lies, they don't remember that those people lied to them.
Like, that's why they do it. They know that there's nobody out there. Most of the people are not paying attention.
[01:15:29] Unknown:
Bro, I can't get enough of watching a KZO Cortez.
[01:15:33] Unknown:

[01:15:41] Unknown:
She's she you know, she voted against tax on tips.
[01:15:46] Unknown:
You know what? I saw her explanation for that. She just wanted to typify everything.
[01:15:51] Unknown:
You was a bartender. You was a bartender before you was a congresswoman. Yeah. And how are you gonna argue against that?
[01:15:59] Unknown:
What was her argument against it during in that little
[01:16:02] Unknown:
video? If you make no wages on if you don't if there ain't no taxes on tips, everybody's gonna get paid in tips. So, like, when a guy comes to do brickwork at the house, you're gonna have to pay him in a tip and pay him a $2 salary, and nobody will pay any income tax anymore. That's exactly what we want, you chipmunk. Yeah.
[01:16:19] Unknown:
What's wrong with that? Her explanation for it. Yeah. It's like you stop selling to me. When she was a bartender AOC. She
[01:16:27] Unknown:
it's like she has a fucking diploma in how to hide that tip money. Yeah. Who is she trying to fool? Yeah. Who is she trying to fool? I don't know, man.
[01:16:38] Unknown:
If you watch that Noob and you believe her side of the argument, you know, I would say she's an advocate for it, putting out something like that. We go, it's like, hey. Hey. Hey. I see. You know, I'm already on board. Stop selling it to me. Like that meme. I could play I could play a clip if you want.
[01:16:59] Unknown:
This is a rag of a paper. Hey.
[01:17:05] Unknown:
Don't be breaking bad on my freaking, my bread and butter here. Well, we're trying to cover things for you. I tell you what. You know, I may say low. We may say a lot of things about Fayette County, on this podcast, but you know what? I love Fayette County. It's not bad. It's not bad. The people. I like where I live. I like Fayette County. I like the restaurants. I think, you know what's it what's it called whenever, you you have pride in the place where you live, like your country? That'd be called nationalism. Okay. Nationalism.

[01:18:17] Unknown:
I'll give you I'll give you a percentage. Does that sound good? I got a real winner right out of the Herald Standard.
[01:18:24] Unknown:
This is written by
[01:18:27] Unknown:
Jessica a Johnson. Oh. That is definitely a made up name. Yeah. Sounds like a comic book character.
[01:18:35] Unknown:
Anytime I got three names, it's CIA. It's agent. Yep.
[01:18:40] Unknown:
Alright. Let's Especially with two double letters. Jessica Johnson. Yeah. Definitely CIA.
[01:18:46] Unknown:
I'll tell you right now. The feeling I have is the same feeling I get before I eat a sandwich from Phil's Corner Store. Oh, excitement. So I'll do a little ad read for Phil's Corner Store, the best sandwich in Uniontown. Go to Phil's Corner Store. Know what the fuck you want when you're in line. You get up there, you take too long. Ain't nobody gonna be happy. Say yes to salt and pepper. Get a good sandwich from a local shop. Phil's Corner Store. I second that. Phil's Corner Store's got the best sandwich in town. Alright. Here's the title of this. Five years later, reflecting on a pandemic. I cannot wait to hear what Jessica has to say about this, John. K. Me too. I'm getting excited. And here we go. Oh, National Public Radio for the people that don't know, National Public Radio, definitely a spook operation, definitely used to control, you know, control the narrative during COVID, funded by big pharma, you know, the whole deal. So controlling the narrative every
[01:19:41] Unknown:
day. Yeah. Plus with your tax dollars in a roundabout shady way as well. And also, they have advertisements like, how are they getting our tax dollars and there's advertisements?
[01:19:53] Unknown:
Good look at a Chevy. Anyway, National Public Radio recently posted a questionnaire on its website asking readers to reflect on their experiences, when the COVID nineteen pandemic shut everything down in 2020. For those who were able to quickly resume their usual routines after World Health Organization announced an end to the pandemic in 2023, the time probably passed quickly. For those who experienced grave losses, such as employment, termination, or the deaths of close relatives, the pandemic had a severe lingering effect. Most of the questions on the NPR survey did not apply to me, such as, did you meet your significant other during the pandemic? Or if you own a small business, how is it going now? I'm sure this has been the case for many others who read NPR's online request. However, I thought it was a great idea to pause for the upcoming five year COVID nineteen pandemic anniversary and look back on how our lives have changed. In 2021 in a 2021 column, I shared with readers that I went to Cincinnati's National Underground Railroad Freedom Center on a Saturday field trip with Ohio State University's Lima staff, students, and faculty before COVID nineteen hit. We spent the day enjoying a music don't you think that's funny that this person took this time to make sure everybody knew that they went to the fucking you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
We're going to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Museum.
[01:21:24] Unknown:
Just patting herself on the back. Just one after another.
[01:21:29] Unknown:
Okay. We went to Cincinnati's famous Montgomery and restaurant, nationally known for its barbecue pork loin back bit ribs. In a few months, we were not able to enjoy interactions like that due to mask wearing and social distancing mandates. During COVID nineteen, I wrote about how the pandemic personally affected me and some of my English students. I remember this being a very stressful and scary time for the young people in our classes, some of whom were grieving. Immediate family members passing away or struggling financially due to their parents' job losses. Like, this is so crazy to me because the people that listen to NPR are the same people that want you to wear the mask and social distance.
And then they're the ones who called for jobs to get shut down, causing people to lose their home. They're the ones who called for people, old people to get locked in a fucking retirement. You know what I mean? Locked in the homes. But they're also the ones intubating people. Intubating? Intubating. Okay. Like, remember in New York? Yeah. We don't we need ventilators. We need more we need government funding. We don't got enough ventilators. It was Then you turn out. It was the first big call was we need ventilators. Right.
So, like, nowadays, though, COVID is just like cold, which is what everybody said when it just started. So like all the things that affected this person are exactly what they voted for. You know what I mean? The people that they support, what they vote for, they're calling for more of it today. They're calling for you to put your mask back on Mhmm. Because of a bird flu. Mhmm.
[01:23:15] Unknown:
But they're also they also like you said, they knew, first off, that it was a cold like anything else. And they're, you know, like, that's all it is. It's a cold. Don't, you know, don't attribute it to China or anything like that. Remember? And then, like I said, then then they bared down. They wanted all the lockdowns and everything. Now she's writing this cutesy article about how, you know, maybe in, like you said, now we all know it's a cold. At least I would hope most people know that it's just a cold. Uh-huh. Okay. So they've been fooled.
They knew then they were fooled completely to the point where the world was ruined.
[01:24:06] Unknown:
Yeah. And then they want the same people who ruined it to fix it with more of our money.
[01:24:15] Unknown:
Mhmm. That's wild. But I don't understand. How can this person not be just fucking hopping mad that they were fooled into Right. Thinking that it was so bad, but now we all know it's a cold. Right. And and it was a cold the whole time. Yeah. Severe for people with comorbidities, but that's it. You don't close the world down for a few people with comorbidities or old old folks. You protect them, but you don't close the world down for them. I will why are they not just absolutely live it? But no, she's writing a cutesy article. I'm sorry. Continue. This could we could talk about this for several podcasts. Oh, yeah. Because this shit makes me really mad. It's one of the greatest scams that's been pulled during our lifetime.
[01:25:08] Unknown:
It's probably not the greatest scam, but it's one of the greatest scams.
[01:25:14] Unknown:
What is the purpose? Was the purpose can you say that the purpose of this was to prevent one man from being reelected? Or is that just the surface purpose? I don't think that's a surface purpose. That was like a communist manifest. That was a benefit. Right? That was just a benefit. This was
[01:25:33] Unknown:
those people trying to sell us out to communist influenced people out of, say, a country like China, taking money from them,
[01:25:46] Unknown:
you know, selling us stuff. They use their model for how to deal with it. Yeah. Which what American would ever say, yeah, let's do what the Chinese do?
[01:25:55] Unknown:
Jessica a Johnson. We're gonna give you a little bit of advice here if you ever happen to listen to this podcast. Okay? This rag of a paper that wants you to write a puff piece on COVID, real, really honestly, what people are looking for today and they're tuned up like this paper probably ain't selling papers, you know, not like it used to. So like people don't wanna hear the puff piece anymore. You should really write an article on five years later what I learned. You know, but all you this article is just about how this person that was too afraid of it to begin with, looks back on it now like it's something that they actually survived.
Like it was really a thing. Yeah. That it wasn't the cult. Like, we didn't do anything. We didn't, like, come up with a cure for it. Yeah. Imagine being so fake out. Yeah. It's not like laying dead in a parking lot where it's like, dang, girl. You made it out by the skin of your teeth, but you made it this that no. Like, you were fooled. And it I'm guessing it's probably like a younger person's career. So, like, when you're putting this out this early in your career, you can't really have a you can't think about, like, a serious career in journalism. No. Like, listen to Glenn Greenwald. Listen to Daryl Cooper. Like, listen to some real people. This that you're writing, like, none of those people who's coming to the top while this rag is sinking into oblivion. None of those people were ever gonna look at an article like this and take you seriously.
That's a shame. Yeah. She's starting out a career already
[01:27:46] Unknown:
already at the bottom.
[01:27:48] Unknown:
My pastor constantly reminded me that God has not given up given us a spirit of fear. Well, that's exactly what you had.
[01:27:59] Unknown:
Wait. Repeat that. I'm just I'm just The pastor constantly
[01:28:03] Unknown:
reminded me that God has not given us a spirit of fear. Well, what you say afraid of the bird? Yeah. Why did you submit
[01:28:13] Unknown:
completely adoring?
[01:28:15] Unknown:
Why are you calling for people to mask up for the bird flu? Yeah. Leave my worry about yourself. Leave everybody else alone. This should be, yeah, lessons that I've learned from COVID. This just sounds like justification. That's something I'm like No. It's making it's so you don't it's so your worldview
[01:28:32] Unknown:
can you can perpetuate your worldview. You know? She can't she can't sit down and and actually, you know, suss this out in her mind and say, I was completely fooled by this. Right. She can never say that. Right. If she says that, you know, she's gonna spend the rest of her life fucking
[01:28:53] Unknown:
peering behind bathroom stall doors, like, wondering what's going on in there. Sucking a dick down in Uniontown for a good deal on a Hyundai.
[01:29:01] Unknown:
Go on down to Mahoney's Dodge Ram.
[01:29:06] Unknown:
Suck my dick at the yield in, and I'll save you tax.
[01:29:12] Unknown:
How how much more is there? Well, I'm not gonna read any research junk. Touch and touch a little more on
[01:29:17] Unknown:
else she likes. By conducted by Cornell and McMaster University showed that eighty eight percent of call center agents report high or very high stress level. Like, what is this article? How about how about they report on,
[01:29:32] Unknown:
John Hopkins University found that masks did absolutely nothing. Why didn't she mention that? She ain't mentioning that. She's never gonna mention that. How did every how did every box of paper masks said not for not to be used in a in a medical, situation? Like, every fucking Chinese box of masks printed, like I mean, it took me, what, two seconds to get receive a shipment of those at work and go, this is total bullshit. Right. We we were ordering pallets of of hand sanitizer in jugs. Yeah. Like like, you know, in in bleach jugs. Like, we ran out of fucking hand sanitizer bottles or something, like, and people started making it in bulk. The world went absolutely insane. Insane. Insane.
And there We started getting pallets in it, and I'm like, what is wrong with you people? Like, would you please stop? Like, they gave us these things to wear on our wrists at work, to like that would sense when you were within six feet of another person. And they would they would have us download it, like, every week. My boss tried to send me home once because he's like, where's your tracker? And I was like, I don't got it. It's at home. He's like, well, you're gonna go home and get it. And I was like, I don't think so.
And he's like, you're definitely gonna go home and get that. And I was like and I walked down the thing. I was like, yo. Lane. You got an extra one of them things that supposed to track your movement? He's like, yeah. Here you go. You wear this for a day. I was like, here you go, boss. And then I just threw it in a drawer, which we all threw him in a drawer.
[01:31:04] Unknown:
Jessica a Johnson. This article should read five years later reflecting on the pandemic. Everybody did everything wrong. Like on day one of the next thing, it should be worry about yourself, that's it. Don't worry what no one else is doing and just remember that the whole way through. You worry about you do what you wanna do, you worry about yourself, you don't worry about what anybody else is doing. But she knows she's not gonna get anywhere.
[01:31:30] Unknown:
Know. She knows she's never gonna get anywhere writing that. I gotta move on. It's bad. It's sad to see the beginning and the end of somebody's career happening at the same time right in front of your head. In the same article. Like, she could be 60 or 16. It don't matter. It's over. Imagine if she told the truth in that. She'd have endless opportunity. Right. Like, maybe She'd be fired by the Herald Standard where what's she writing for? PBS?
[01:31:50] Unknown:
NPR? No. It's even before she's referencing NPR. Oh, she's a Herald Standard reporter. Well, it's commentary. It says by doctor Jessica a Johnson. And, like, a doctor. A doctor. A doctor's rightness.

Like, I've seen a lot of doctors make some bad decisions. Doc, you got some better info to put in words
[01:32:11] Unknown:
into the Herald Standard? Maybe, like, some studies?
[01:32:16] Unknown:
Yeah. Maybe some charts that show that any measure that we tried did absolutely nothing that the people who didn't do it or the people that did it, it made no difference in outcome? Yeah. Like, here's a hint, Doctor. Mi Ullchia,
[01:32:29] Unknown:
all the studies on biomechanics found present in certain people with certain lots of vaccines, aluminum oxide, carbon fluorescent nanofibers. You know, aren't you a doctor? Like, there's people publishing this stuff.
[01:32:46] Unknown:
Anyway. Maybe a serious doctor would be reviewing that stuff.
[01:32:49] Unknown:
Community. Here's a front page of community. Let's just
[01:32:56] Unknown:
I wish I wish we had video. Right. You know, some things you you just you have to show. It's just hands holding hands in a circle of every shade you can imagine. Is there pink?
[01:33:08] Unknown:
Well, there's a pink sleeve. It's hard to tell with the and I guess that's it for hyperlocal. You know, there's nothing going on hyperlocal because things stay the same around here. People's doing their thing. If that person wanted to get somewhere, they should've told the truth.
[01:33:27] Unknown:
Well, I guess she's a doctor just making commentary. You know what? Because she did get somewhere because she probably got $37,000 to COVID patient.
[01:33:35] Unknown:
So she made a fucking fortune. That's probably what she that's probably what she learned. You know what? As a doctor too, like, all these people having these heart attacks, I just seen the the lady at the food land that I, you know, go in there. I get cigarettes and stuff from her, some real nice lady that works there. I said, hey. I was hoping you didn't quit. I haven't seen you for a couple days. And then I said, you was here last weekend, but that was it all week. She goes, he had a uncle passed away. I said, how old was he? She goes, 65.
Like, all these, they're all dying. Young. Yeah. He's probably triple boosted, vaxxed. I had,
[01:34:11] Unknown:
I heard a couple of people recently died. They were in their late forties. People I people I knew that I know told me that somebody in their family died late forties or fifties of heart attacks. You see these you see that, at the gas station? I was pumping gas. I turned around, and on the tell on the little screen at the gas station, you know, that's usually yelling in your ear at three in the morning Yeah. It has a thing on there. It's a public service announcement to learn CPRs so that you can perform it on a child Oh, yeah. You know, who who could have a heart incident while playing on the field. Like, why are they prepping people for that? I heard about this somewhere else. I think you maybe you guys Yeah. We mentioned it on Yeah. We did. It was it it you're totally taken aback because they're just trying to get people used to the idea that children have heart attacks. Well, around here, that's all like
[01:35:07] Unknown:
I don't know what you call it, like left wing money or whatever. Like all those signs that say, like living with HIV, you can get help. Like, there's a bunch of billboards for HIV. There's a bunch of them for clean nitrogen. Like last year, they put up a clean nitrogen sign in Munecin, and I'm like, who the fuck around here cares about clean nitrogen? What is clean nitrogen? I don't know. Green nitrogen.
[01:35:32] Unknown:
Nitrogen is is one of the
[01:35:34] Unknown:
This advertisement has, like, a cartoon character looks like Pac Man, but, like, in three d. Mhmm. Like, it it looks like somebody took about fifteen minutes to design this billboard, and it says, like, green nitrogen, the next great investment. And it's got this little, like, green character given, like, the thumbs up or something.
[01:35:56] Unknown:
And then maybe, like, some dollar bills in the background, and that's it. Who are they advertising to? I have no idea. Izzy, do you think it's the residents of Fayette and Washington?
[01:36:04] Unknown:
It's got to be West 1 of the counties like It's got to be some kind of scam, like DNC money that would, like, have to be used for billboards, but then, like, for all twelve months, not just election season? You know what I'm saying? Like, why why is this, like, propaganda up on it? The cat's bumping the mics. Yeah. There's an adorable cat on my lap here, so it's okay, everyone.
[01:36:33] Unknown:
You get someone in Paris and the microphone? Here. Yeah, this normalization of HIV on billboards is another thing that I've been questioning for quite a few years. Like how many people out there are going to have HIV shortly? Oh, they're getting it. It's from the vaccine too. Yeah. Do another study. They found that one of the main components of it was like the same, I guess it would be, what is it, like the transfer mechanism that they use for it to interact with the cell was taken from HIV.
[01:37:08] Unknown:
HIV and urged with SARS. Yeah.
[01:37:11] Unknown:
It said that you could see But, this isn't a conspiracy theory. This is what people are finding out and putting studies out on right now that nobody's hearing about. Well, I think that was out like the first two months later.
[01:37:21] Unknown:
Well, that was out right away. It was out right away. It had disappeared. Yeah. But now they're talking about it again. Remember the Chinese guy that they grabbed at Boston Logan Airport that was smuggling, quote, genetic material attempting to struggle smuggle genetic material out of the country? Yes. I remember that. Whatever happened with that.
[01:37:39] Unknown:
I don't know. Maybe Jessica Johnson needs a pickup
[01:37:43] Unknown:
where that one left off. Deep dive. I mean, she's a scam. You know it? Yeah. We you can we could put you know, those people aren't real. No. You can go online and put in her name and see where she's a doctor at. She's probably
[01:37:55] Unknown:
I looked up a lot of these people. They all fit they all have fake Facebook accounts. All of them. Zach Petrov, all of them. Like Yeah. It's like the most generic Facebook accounts. Like, some dude standing next to some blonde girl at a tree in a park, and there's like two of those photos, then something like, hey, we visited, you know, this one. And then the accounts just complete like, news articles and stuff after that, you know? Well, it's it's straight doomed. And they're all like that. What's straight what's straight doomed?
[01:38:30] Unknown:
This. The whole thing. The paper. The paper. Yeah.
[01:38:34] Unknown:
It's all going to be a bear in trouble. Well, this this isn't owned by anywhere in Uniontown. This is owned by a Philadelphia paper. Yeah, probably like Sinclair Group or something stupid. They print it and send it to the county. Yeah.
[01:38:47] Unknown:
Like, it's junk. That's why there's nothing really local in it. Like, there's an article about Shapiro. Who cares? Steelers. Great. Who cares? Moving on. But when it's a. I. Baron Trump,
[01:38:59] Unknown:
what's that? Oh, well, it's Washington Rotary, talk about, Ukrainians talk about devastation in their country, and you got their yellow and blue flag. Of course, you have to have this in the paper, right? Have to have this.
[01:39:13] Unknown:
What does someone who lives in Fayette Fucking County care about Ukraine? And if you do, if you care more about Ukraine than the guy who's getting laid off down at Clarendon Works, you've got fucking problems. Mhmm. That's like some psychopathy, like ignoring the things that are obvious around you while other you know, to die on some that's like cult.
[01:39:43] Unknown:
Yeah. A pointless hill
[01:39:44] Unknown:
to die on. Like, why put all your energy into that whenever you could be putting in it too? Yeah. Go up there and get yourself a checkered shirt. Start making furniture if you wanna be in a cult.
[01:39:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Call back.
[01:40:00] Unknown:
What do you think about that AI Baron Trump? Well, I don't know. I didn't see it. I don't know. I sent it to Little Dracula. I don't think I sent it to you. Didn't see it. Can I play it for you real quick? Here. Send it to me. I'll play it. I can just play in the microphone. No. Send it to me. I'll play it. Okay.
[01:40:15] Unknown:
Yeah. Let me play this one. And then we gotta plug Maloney's.
[01:40:19] Unknown:
Maloney's the best restaurant probably in Uniontown. If you want a meal that doesn't suck, go to Maloney's. They got a guy out in the parking lot. Make sure that you don't get assaulted by an illegal immigrant or a methadone addict, and, they make sure that you're going to eat there when you park there. So you can go in, but you go to the restaurant, you get to actually park there, feel safe walking in, get yourself a meal, an actual meal, and get good service. I've never had bad service at Maloney's. I've never had a bad meal at Maloney. Do they still employ, like, several really good waitresses there that come to your table every ten seconds and I feel like the lady working there is a lady working there since I was a kid. Yeah. The Maloneys is doing it right.
[01:41:07] Unknown:
Do do they still have the condiments and everything on the table? Or did they remove that? I don't know. Only bring you when you ask for it, which is another thing I really hate about what COVID did.
[01:41:18] Unknown:
I don't know. I don't know. I also wanna say that Malone's was open pretty early too. I don't know that for a fact, but let's just say that they did because they're a good restaurant. I don't know. Give them the credit. I tell you what,
[01:41:32] Unknown:
old bootleggers, that place kept me alive during COVID. You like bootleggers? Dude, they kept me alive during COVID. You wanna talk about a cool place? They, like, blacked out the windows and shit. It was great.
[01:41:42] Unknown:
Vinnie's is open for business. I know. If Babs listened, Vinnie's open for business.
[01:41:47] Unknown:
I've seen there was people all around it today. They opened Tuesday. I am gonna stop, but I ain't gonna do They opened Tuesday, and the sun was out. It was 80 degrees. They were it was the line was all the way out into the parking lot. Really? Oh, yeah. Well I thought I was gonna see you, actually.
[01:42:00] Unknown:
Well, we'll plug Vinnies on the next one. Dude. Vinnies.
[01:42:04] Unknown:
I don't wanna tell too many people because it'll get busier. Dude, so many good things on this side of town. I love living over here. Yeah.
[01:42:12] Unknown:
Alright. You ready? Yeah. Go ahead. Play it. That's Eric. Yeah. I'm Aaron Traum right there. There
[01:42:24] Unknown:
is misleading where it says, search results for Barron Trump,
[01:42:31] Unknown:
sayings about his dad. Yeah. So that's not real. That was a robot that was singing.
[01:42:38] Unknown:
Robot. That is Barron Trump's image. That's for sure. Yeah. That's right. So But your music music.
[01:42:47] Unknown:
Dude, so the point of this whole thing, John, is that pretty soon, boomers will be old enough to when they go to that search bar and they put whatever in there, if it don't, like, AI is gonna make it for you. I know. You know? So pretty soon, there is no Herald standard. It's just whatever you want. You just put it in that search bar, and it'll just start streaming it to your eyeballs. It'll,
[01:43:11] Unknown:
it'll reinforce your worldview. Oh. So whenever now see, I was on to this. Hit that light. You're like the you're like the only other person besides me who wants the light off during the podcast. Like, I want it like this whenever we talk. This is nice with the fire going. Yeah. So early on in the in the during this pandemic, probably around, like, '21, I was you like the kitty? Yeah. I was, I was noticing that people were making more of this AI stuff, and I'm talking, like, early, like, bad AI. Like like, where you knew that it was fake. I mean, I can still spot it, and I hope most young people can't, but this was, like, bad AI. You know? Voices that sounded a little bit like who they were trying to Yeah. It was down there. And videos that you they almost like the jib jab videos where, like, it'd just be like, you know, and they would be, you know, look like South Park characters.
But, so I thought started thinking at that time, I thought, every everybody's talking about how now, this is even before the deep fakes thing. Like, this is a couple years before the deep fakes talks, you know. And I knew at this moment that everybody was gonna be thinking that they were gonna be making deep fakes of people to try to say that they said something or, you know, because it started out as jokes. Like, you would make a funny video of, like, the president cussing as it got better, you know, and people thought that was funny. So, I started thinking people aren't gonna use this for making deepfakes. What these what people are going to do is they're going to it's going to be an excuse for everything every what you know, because when you know, the Internet allows us to have, and YouTube allows us to have a complete record of all the dumb shit our politicians do and say. And so, you can recall it at any moment. Yeah. You know, now, which is what is great. You can say, Well, this guy was saying this ten years ago. Here's a video of him. Uh-huh. And now, he's clearly lying Yeah. About what he said. And you're Yeah, it invalidates all film. So I thought this isn't gonna be for deepfaking. This was gonna be so people could just say, well, that's fake. Right? Like, that was me. That's clearly AI 10 me fifteen years ago. Yeah. Saying this.
And that started happening about a year or two ago. I started seeing politicians when people would play a video of them, you know, like on a podcast or a video show, you know, where they're like, oh, clearly they're like, well, that's clearly AI. Yeah. And I knew at that moment that that's what it was gonna be used for at that point. It's almost like it was created to to allow people to,
[01:46:03] Unknown:
you know, make people forget. Yeah. No. So you did the Hillary Clinton snuff film, ain't right.
[01:46:09] Unknown:
Yeah. And that's what it will be used for. Like, of course, you can make up your own videos and everything and change you know, you can like like we were saying with these people, you just punch whatever you want into Google and it'll reinforce your worldview. But,
[01:46:24] Unknown:
I think it's just gonna be used to unmake history. No. I heard that like six years ago or something. Somebody's saying that there exists a film of that person maybe killing a kid. So it, like, makes sense. It'll come out just in time. They're gonna release all the Epstein stuff in the laptop, and then before you know it, there's gonna be a snuff film, and people's going to Right. It's like everything's coming to a head. That's a wild conspiracy theory. To come up with something to negate all that. Yeah. So, the AI is perfect. Just the time. Like, I think that, like, there's a pause on releasing some of that stuff right now. And I think because it has to do with that. Oh, yeah. Like, where's that person been for a while? Real quiet. Real quiet. Just hiding out in the background. No public appearance. No nothing.
[01:47:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I think we're on to something here. Keep an eye out for it. Dude, 2025.
[01:47:16] Unknown:
You heard it. You heard it here first. Film. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, man.
[01:47:25] Unknown:
It is wild, man. Strange times. Yeah. I'm glad that I don't rely on I'm glad that, like, I'm not just completely dependent on technology. Well, I guess, it's, you know, that's pretty much all you got at this point. It's like, yeah. You can use it if you need to, but you don't need it.
[01:47:41] Unknown:
The rest of these people seem to need it. Was you ever afraid like it would pass you by and you'd get out of touch with it? No.
[01:47:48] Unknown:
Not really. There is, there was times early on in my life when I was rolling to computers, and I was I was pretty good at it, you know, and I could I could stay up on all the latest things, and I knew and then one day, I was just like, this is too much. I'm done. And I didn't have any regrets about saying goodbye. Uh-huh. No. And I regret it sometimes when I need to, like, I needed to sort of upgrade some of this recording stuff recently, and I struggled and struggled. But other than that, I don't care. Yeah. I don't care if it passes me by. I mean, I'm 44, dude.
I got a wood burner. Well, that's true. Yeah. You know, I don't technology, I don't need it much anymore. I mean, I I wish I knew it so I could teach my kid,
[01:48:29] Unknown:
but there's not that much new technology.
[01:48:32] Unknown:
No. It's a bunch of broke ass shit. It's all it's all garbage. I mean, if they would release things that worked the moment they they hit the scene
[01:48:40] Unknown:
Man, everything's on the cloud too. Yeah. Like, you can't even make an AutoCAD file now on your laptop. You gotta do it on the cloud so you don't know exactly what you're making. Really? Mhmm. I see that's yeah. Autodesk don't work no more. Autodesk used to have a free version like a bottle cap modeling that they used to yeah. Like, I don't know. It was called DaVinci or something stupid like Yeah. And, they ended it. It's all cloud now. If you can't touch the cloud, you can't access a drawing. That's horrible. Yeah. Them young kids are getting on Linux, though.
Like, where you can GitHub yourself some free source stuff off the Internet. Yeah. It is amazing, dude. Like, you and they're known how to use terminal, you know, to to just get on and just yep. So you do get get this like, it's amazing. You just say get and get this program and it goes and gets into the pro like, they're gonna learn a different man. Them young kids that grow up with computers learn in Linux today, they'll be able to do shit like a different class of society that the rest of it. Oh, I know. Like, consumer
[01:49:44] Unknown:
computer people won't know how to do any of that. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know. But the thing is, is one day we're going to be getting killed by
[01:49:52] Unknown:
a kid who has a Xbox controller in his hand. Yeah. You know? But that's like a trade now. Yeah. Like computer using a computer from terminal, that will be a trade in the future. Like, how do I get it to a root directory? How do I download a program? How do I install you know, that I mean, boomers forget about it.
[01:50:13] Unknown:
Our generation, we mostly don't care too much. Yeah. Dude, my brother-in-law can do that shit. He knows, like, the old school stuff.
[01:50:20] Unknown:
Yeah.
[01:50:21] Unknown:
Yeah. Like, he if he had to, he could he could return to that in a moment and and do that. He would have no issue. I don't think he would even miss a beat. Trisha maybe too. I'm sorry. Jezebel. Jezebel too. No. I think she could do it too. She knew all that stuff she grew up with. Yeah. You know, Calico, whatever, first computer, you know, learned to program in those old codes. You could tell she's real smart. I mean, I could tell she's smart. It's ridiculous. It scares me. Yeah. Actually, like I sometimes I think she's a spook. Like, it's right in her name. CIA, Trisha.
[01:50:59] Unknown:
I think it is for sure. I think she is. I don't that don't matter. I think she's my handler. I think so too. I think she's supposed to be watching you.
[01:51:09] Unknown:
Yeah. This stuff freaks me out sometimes.
[01:51:12] Unknown:
Yeah. But I mean, if she's pleasant to be around and she supports you, who cares? Yeah. She is pleasant to be around. You just gotta not, you know,
[01:51:21] Unknown:
don't slip up. She, like, looks interested whenever I talk. Yeah. You know? Which I so I so she's clearly
[01:51:29] Unknown:
keeping an eye on me. That night, we went down to Bahama Breeze or whatever. Like, sometimes you look at her in the eye when you're talking and she, like, beams in to, like, take a deep listen. Oh, I know. And it's like she's real interest. She's really paying attention hardcore. Yeah. Like, at more than just the words that are coming out of your mouth.
[01:51:48] Unknown:
She never gets drunk. Like, I'll see her drink Uh-huh. And drink and drink, and she never gets drunk. And then, like, I noticed when I'm at the bar, I'll be just ranting about something. Like, I'll just be, like, you know, talking about Ukraine or whatever. And she's just, like, listening intently, like and I'm like, who would listen to me? Like you know? And I think later, I'm like, I'm a drunk idiot ranting at somebody, and she, like, just looks happy to be listening to me. I don't know. There's something going on. Yeah.
[01:52:17] Unknown:
Man, I do a lot of rant too. Oh, I bet. It's
[01:52:22] Unknown:
yeah. I bet you Jezebel does some rant in a row.
[01:52:26] Unknown:
I think I I appreciate the fact that that person learns to listen to those rants.
[01:52:33] Unknown:
It is pretty cool. It is nice that they listen.
[01:52:38] Unknown:
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. When these people against Doge shutting down fraud and abuse stuff, and they're like, oh, she's gonna shut down hungry people, and the president came out and like six times was like, I'm not shutting down any services that go directly to the people. I'm shutting down $28,000,000 to produce a Trans Sesame Street or whatever.
[01:53:05] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Or, you know, dollars 20,000,000 to put billboards all over Southwestern Fayette County to normalize HIV and green nitrogen. Where the fuck that is? Like, that's where that money goes. They're just prepping people for what they're gonna do.
[01:53:22] Unknown:
Then they came out. They're like, Elon Musk is a dictator. He's making us write these emails. Elon Musk comes out, and he's like, well, we're trying to figure out who on the payroll like, is this actually an employee or is this a person that doesn't work here anymore that somebody just didn't take their name off the books? Well, like, a real easy way to figure that out is to get them to email you. Yeah. Then they know you're a live person. Yeah.
[01:53:45] Unknown:
Yeah. My company has people,
[01:53:49] Unknown:
that don't work there still on the email list. It's a perfect way to figure out whether they still work there. But that is all that that was about. Yeah. You know? And these people, like, overreacted to it all crazy full of fear, like Jessica. Yeah. Oh my God, he's making me feel like I'm a slave to the system. But, you are a slave to the system. Like, you should accept that and move on. Yeah. Part of your job is to get on that email and reply back what you've done. Yeah. Like, when boss yells get back at the fucking computer, you get back at the fucking computer. Like, where do you think you are?
[01:54:22] Unknown:
I forget that. You just log on at eight and you go fucking log off at Fortislave. Like, what the fuck do you think you are? I I guess I forget that work and where I work because people tell me what to do, and I'm like, several months ago, six months ago, you know, we get emails constantly. Emails piling up. Phew. Like, six months ago, I logged onto my computer. I hit fucking control a in my email program, selected every email I have, fucking hit delete. Like, I was just like, fuck this. And then, and, people will be asking me for shit. I'll be like, I don't have an email anymore. And they'll be like, what do you mean you don't have an email? And we're like, I just deleted them all. And then they'd say, what do you mean you deleted all your emails? I'm like, yeah. Just one day, I just got there were too many.
So then I made none, and then I started over. And then I did it again, like, a week later when I had too many. I was just like, whatever. I said goodbye. Nothing changed. People kept if somebody really wants something,
[01:55:15] Unknown:
they'll email you. Well, the email's junk now. It's just full of junk and advertisements, and nobody uses it no more. It's all garbage. I haven't used No. No. The thing about
[01:55:24] Unknown:
I used to try I used to try to use my email program to track things that like, track information that I needed to complete a job. Not complete, but do. Like, so if an engineer emailed me back and told me, like, how to do something, I would save that under whatever whatever company name or, you know, piece of equipment that I had to work on. So I was trying to save that. Well, I figured out, like, a couple maybe a year into where I worked that they only are they don't archive emails more than three months. So, like, all that information I was saving was like just getting deleted.
So, I was just like, fuck it. I was like, whatever. I said, I'm not even going to try. Like, I can't even track this stuff. And they're like, what's company policy? We only keep it for three months, so you have to archive it yourself. I'm like, Nah. They keep it on their end for a lot longer than three months, John. They keep it for a lot longer than three months. Oh, I know they do. But, like, if I ask them They're just telling you that you can't have it at three months. Yeah, of course. But, the thing is, it just makes my job harder to not have it. So, why do they do that? Why don't they just allow me to keep my emails forever? You know, every It's like it's they're trying to keep you in a constant state of anxiety.
Yes. Like obituaries.

That's also a good name. 89, Dunbar. Missus Lucy r Maruniak, eighty nine at Dunbar, passed away Sunday, 03/09/2025 in Uniontown Hospital. Well, you go to Uniontown Hospital, you don't come out. Do people been saying that? I heard that. She was born 05/11/1935 in Uniontown to the late Michael and Rose ro Robertelli Wow. That is a that's an Italian name. Boy.

Herbert F Sumi Senior, Eighty Six in Uniontown, passed away peacefully Monday, 03/10/2025. He was born 10/06/1938 in Ballzinger. Yeah. Nothing. I think he lived up in my neighborhood, up in the old hood. Was he he's the one with the big garage up there, I think. What age would you wanna be? When I go? Yeah.
[02:02:13] Unknown:
Like, if you could pick it. But you have to pick now. You can't pick again later. So, if you say that I have to 01/1930, you have to live out a hundred and thirty miserable years. Yeah.
[02:02:26] Unknown:
See, I always think early. You know, I always want to go early, like, I'm thinking '60, '60 '5 when I'm still functional. But, there are times in my life when I'm, like, listening to music or reading books, and I'm like, man, I could just do this forever. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But, I know there's gonna become an unhappy day whenever you can't do anything, and you're a burden, and somebody else is taking care of you and you're just going to feel terrible and you're going to be like, why didn't I just die? You think so? I mean, do you want to get to the point where somebody is, where you're burdening another human being with your existence?
You wanna get
[02:03:09] Unknown:
there? What level of burden? You talking about driving slow, or are you talking about shitting your pants? There's a difference.
[02:03:14] Unknown:
Shitting your pants. No. I don't wanna do that. No. Who would wanna burden somebody with that? Well, I don't think either me and you would let that get to that. I don't either, but if you picked an if you picked an age and you had to live to it, like you were just saying, I'd pick 88 and I'm shitting my pants from 60 to 88.
[02:03:31] Unknown:
Yeah. No way. Like, cannot die? I guess just that then ideally, if it was just like a light switch, what age would you pick?
[02:03:42] Unknown:
Like I said, 60 or 65.
[02:03:44] Unknown:
Still, just because you don't want that other thing? Yeah. I don't I don't wanna I don't wanna die,
[02:03:49] Unknown:
completely used up. Like, I don't wanna die completely ground down. I wanna I wanna go out still still doing something. Reading a book. Yeah. Reading a book or enjoying fucking Led Zeppelin at full volume. I'm telling you, John, wait till we get that sailboat.
[02:04:06] Unknown:
This one will be happening. Hopefully, I'll talk to you less than once an hour.
[02:04:12] Unknown:
Yeah, I know, right? So we'll not wanna hear anybody's voice.
[02:04:17] Unknown:
That'd be cool, though, to see, like, hanging out on a boat and being
[02:04:24] Unknown:
like yeah. And you just nod, and then you don't gotta say word all day and then two days. And then on day three, you'd be like, hey. We went two and a half days, didn't say nothing to each other. That'll be a good Yeah. Well, that's what, that's what I liked about when we went to Cabo. Uh-huh. We were out there in that quiet desert, and no one was around, and there were no distractions. And I only had to interact with you guys if I wanted to. Yeah. That was great.
[02:04:46] Unknown:
I know.
[02:04:48] Unknown:
Like, if I didn't want to talk to anybody, I just didn't. It was awesome. Because I'm forced to interact with people constantly.
[02:04:57] Unknown:
And that was a nice change. But also, it's real magic down there,
[02:05:01] Unknown:
It is, especially the time of year we were there. Yeah. It was like living in a it was like a dream, like a surreal dream. Yeah. Like like it was orange all the time. Beautiful skies. Yeah. The sky was like blue, but like it seemed like there was just like an orange hue to everything constantly.
[02:05:19] Unknown:
Whales jumping everywhere. Yeah. In the sand. Like it felt good. There was cactus, but he was still like, oh, I put my feet in the dirt. Feels good. Didn't matter.

[02:06:52] Unknown:
Man. Poor guy. 96. Yeah. How many are there?
[02:07:03] Unknown:
Is that it? That was it. Okay. Good. Yeah. It's a daily paper, so they they don't put a lot and then and then I think Sunday, they do a conglomerate of all the weeks. Are some of them bigger than other ones? Yeah. Some, no. They just have ads and stuff in them some days. But Sunday,
[02:07:22] Unknown:
I think they do all the obituaries on Sunday. I was gonna say maybe just read the big ones because they had more important people or something, you know? Yeah. They're bucking up the dough for the big obituaries. That was all of them. I think they get most of their funding through obituaries too. Okay. That's it. Well, that's a really disappointing paper. I mean.
[02:07:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Occasionally, you get some good stuff in it, though. I I mean, I don't know why they don't do more. I guess it's just easy to put that crap out. There's some kind of bug on me. What is that? It could be anything, dude.
[02:07:58] Unknown:
That was probably a stink bug or something. Yeah, you're living that. I mean, I see where you're at. Well, I had one on me earlier today, too. Yeah. Hey, you know it's a blood moon tonight. Is it? Well, we probably missed it. No. It don't happen till late. Well, I think at midnight tonight, the moon will be up, but then it's a lunar eclipse in the morning, so the veil is real thin. No. Shit. Yeah. Spring, baby. The veil gets thin. Bunch of weird energy around. Some crazy things could happen. Yeah. How's the 10:00 already? Is it? Yeah.
[02:08:35] Unknown:
You wanna call it a night? Well, maybe we should wrap it up. That's a long time. I gotta edit that shit.
[02:08:44] Unknown:
Well, is there any world news you wanna cover? No. We'll talk about it another time. Alright.
[02:08:55] Unknown:
I like how we brought a, we had a, we had a clip on the podcast tonight. Yeah. That's good. I said I could do this. I could keep some for you. See, it's good because we wear the headphones. We can do that. Yeah. We'll get those other guys on board. Yeah. Yeah. I got more headphones too.
[02:09:10] Unknown:
The only thing other thing I was gonna ask you about before we wrap up was, when we was on vacation, we had talked about that theory that everything is amazing, and that the point of it is is that to you, it will just keep getting more crazy and amazing until it's the end. And I didn't know if you had thought about that anymore. I haven't. We kinda talked about it again. I hadn't. But weren't you talking about this the other day, or was I talking about this with someone else? No. You and I talked about it on vacation, and we talked about it the other day. Mhmm. And then also I asked you what you thought was worse, like a genocide or being responsible for making the people forget? I was gonna bring those two things up to you tonight. What, what do you what do you mean by the second thing? Being responsible for making the people forget? The second thing, like, what do you what do you think is worse?
Like, if you were a person in history that, like, slaughtered all these other people, right? So say you slaughtered a million people. Okay. But what if instead you, you know, contributed to some type of forgetting? Like, oh, we're going to industrialize food so that people over time, like forget how to make food. You You know what I mean? Then you could be responsible for the deaths of like millions of people. What do I think is worse? Oh,
[02:10:41] Unknown:
I'd say the second.
[02:10:43] Unknown:
But that happens after the fact. It's a lot more underhanded.
[02:10:48] Unknown:
And I'd say genocide's more honest. Like, if you guarantee like, let's say you guarantee killing a million people with a genocide, but you're doing something underhanded to kill generations, many more millions, you know, secretively. And upfront, it looked like you were doing humanity a favor. I think that's worse than just being upfront. It's like being it's like being robbed by your government for taxes or being robbed on the, on the street by a criminal. The criminal is much more honest. He's sticking you out in your face and he's saying give me your money. Mhmm. The government's pretending like they're doing something for you.
[02:11:33] Unknown:
But then it's like Franz Hopper or whatever. I think you guys have mentioned him once at the beginning here, the one that invented fertilizer. Like really, if it wasn't for him, people would still know how to grow food better. Mhmm. Right. Because he gave you convenience in a bag. True. So, like, who was worse? Like him or Hitler?
[02:11:56] Unknown:
Well, what that guy does, he's wrong because he you're talking about industrial fertilizer. Mhmm. This man is wrong. He's wrong off the bat because what he's doing is he's making a change to the way humanity develops Yeah. Without knowing all the variables and how the variables are going to be affected. So, just because you invent something like industrial fertilizer, what are the bad things that instantly come from that? Zyklon B came from that. Okay. So, you have negative side effects. What's the number? What's one of the really bad things that comes from that? Suddenly, there's more people.
Yeah. And you can feed them. That's what I'm saying. It's a long term. So, that's not good. Yeah. That's an unexpected consequence of inventing fertilizer. If you had not invented fertilizer, not only will you not have things like poisons in your, you know, I'm not saying they're all poison, but I'm saying industrial fertilizer is obviously going to cause runoff, it's going to cause problems elsewhere, things that you just can't conceive of. But the number one bad thing it did was it allowed humans to multiply.
Because food became easier to to grow and you could feed more people. What came what good came from feeding more people? I mean, I'm not saying I don't like humanity. I love people. There should be as many as you can support, but don't support them artificially through fertilizer.
[02:13:29] Unknown:
What about like if you're the person that decided we're going to shut down vocational studies? Like, we don't want people to know how to work on their own car. I think that that's that's
[02:13:42] Unknown:
like a worse criminal. That is a that's a bad criminal. Like, that is
[02:13:47] Unknown:
but really, like, if you sat like, say tomorrow, they started the ministry of truth, and you sat, like, on that censorship board and you said, I think we should scrub all these stories from the media. You know what I mean? Who's the worst criminal? That person. Like like, we go to war and a half a million people die, But the guy doing a genocide kills a million people up front, but also contributes to the system that just keeps getting people. You know what I mean? Yeah.
[02:14:19] Unknown:
I'd say who's worse? I see your clear to me. These are clear answers. I think it's worse when you do the, the underhanded thing, like the thing that involves secrecy. Yeah. And, you know, yeah, you're going to kill more people, but
[02:14:34] Unknown:
it's almost like
[02:14:35] Unknown:
a war between it's like the way people wage war now versus the way they used to wage war. War used to be honest. You attack your neighboring tribe, go in, you'd Yeah. Genetic. You would do war for resources and prizes. Women, gold, whatever. Yeah. You know? It was an honest war. Yeah. It was terrible and probably brutal and bloody. But what's worse, that or World War one? You know? They killed it was probably much bloodier and horrible and changed the way war was fought. Like, it's like that. World War one is way worse. And you'd say we're we're civilized now? We're not civilized. Look how bad war is compared to the way it used to be. Gulf Of Tonkin.
[02:15:23] Unknown:
That's that's fucking, like, that's the worst thing you can do. Yeah. It was totally made up. Yeah. It's totally made up. So that's making the people forget, though. Like, we talk about all this outrage, this guy's killing these people, this guy's killing these people, or whatever, but no one seems to mind that obvious truth.
[02:15:41] Unknown:
Yeah. But, like, if if you were just saying to Washington
[02:15:44] Unknown:
and you had two traitors against the wall, this guy killed 10 of your people, and this guy's lying.
[02:15:50] Unknown:
You know what I mean? Covering up the truth. Which one do you wanna get rid of first? Lying's always the worst. I know. But it's it's the same thing. Like, you catch your kid doing something. If they lie to you, you get fucking mad. Yeah. Because, you know, but if they would just if they would just be like, yeah. I did it. You'd be like, okay. It's the same thing. You you the guy who killed 10 people, you know, not honestly, but let's say, you know, he didn't he's not lying and and doing this these things in secret and being a traitor and potentially getting more people killed in the future through his deceit.
Clearly the worst person. You think? Yeah. Clearly. Clearly. To me, it's no it's no Yeah. There's, this is easy.
[02:16:40] Unknown:
I think, like, Bin categorizes people. Like that type of moral dilemma. Yeah. Because if you ask somebody who's a fearful person, they'll immediately say upfront, Well, Hitler, for sure. If I had to pick, if I had a gun and a single bullet and I had these two people against the wall, this is the one I would choose, you know?
[02:17:02] Unknown:
Mao or Hitler, let's say. Oh. Which is worse? I think it's clear. Yeah. It's Mao.
[02:17:14] Unknown:
There's a lot of that outrage in people like you or me because we're not really afraid of the first thing. Yeah. Like, we talk about things and we're like, somebody comes rolling down the street wearing a wrong color hat or whatever. I don't know. It ain't gonna make no difference to me. I'm good on my own. But there's a lot to say about, like, you wanna go into a store and buy fucking milk for your family, and you don't have your fucking mask on, and they kick you out the store, you got a baby crying at home, like, that really fucking pisses you off. Yeah. Like that boot licking scoundrel. That that's that's unforgivable.
[02:17:50] Unknown:
I will never. I will never forget what these people have done. Those types of things. Yeah. Like, I see people today that all I do is see red when I see them because of the way they were during the scandemic.
[02:18:05] Unknown:
Like, I just see red. I can't forgive you. I'm sorry. But that's that is turning back. That's that is more like what is I feel like behind this movement that's happening right now. I feel like that's a large part of it. Like, the people sick of it, they're over it, and they're not doing that fucking game no more. Like, you cannot be a pregnant dude, and we're not gonna use that emoji thing. You know what I mean? Like, we're not gonna be told what reality is anymore. Like, you had a turn at it and people sick of it and they went out and they, you know, they voted like crazy for it.
What was it? 29 districts was overturned and seven swing states all won by him or whatever it was? Yeah. All of them. Like, black people, Hispanic people, white people, like the class that was being discriminated against, like the white middle aged worker, like, they all went out and unanimously were like, nah, we're not doing that fucking shit no more. Like, end all this. Pushed too far. Pushed too far. The people who wouldn't care one way or the other suddenly
[02:19:17] Unknown:
mobilized and said, you pushed too far. Yeah.
[02:19:20] Unknown:
And people like you and me feel like that, like pushed too far. So, it, like, kind of changes a generation, but solidifies a movement. Like, MAG is a much more solidified movement now. Yeah. Oh, you definitely saw it. Well, because it went in and he started flipping desks. Yeah. That's exactly what people wanted.
[02:19:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Let's just hope you can do this. Rose

[00:09:01] Unknown:
No. Bearded man. That young kid. Remember that young kid? He always wore a plaid shirt. He had them in dog park class. Tucked in in tennis shoes. He ain't having a beard. No, I'm just thinking of bearded man. He was clean shaven because of the Colt.
[00:09:16] Unknown:
I'm not sure it's a Colt. They're just an offshoot of the Amish. Yeah.
[00:09:25] Unknown:
There gotta be something going on there.
[00:09:28] Unknown:
Yeah. They got it figured out is what what they got. Yeah. It's like a good cult. Yeah. It's like a decent It's the type of cult that I want them to recruit me to.
[00:09:37] Unknown:
Because there's there's like something about people who want to live and be told what to do. You know what I mean? Otherwise, you just be an independent almost sure something, right? But to wanna live in like a commune there's something about a person. He was smart though, you know what I mean? He was a real intelligent guy, so like what is that thing? But then he said he wanted to leave anyway, right? I don't remember him saying he wanted to leave. He said something like I don't know if it's, like, this is probably okay to say or whatever, but, like, you the agreement is, like, you go to school and you work for some time to, like, pay it back. And then after you pay it back, you can do whatever you want. Like, if you wanna leave, but it just wouldn't be kind to the community. So even if you wanted to leave, you still pay back to the community for paying your tuition or something like that.
[00:10:34] Unknown:
Well, I mean, that seems that seems like a reasonable deal. I mean, he has he has to go they're not just yeah. They're not gonna just let him get educated on their dime and leave. I mean, he's coming back and he you know, it's like they're sending him out, get educated, come back here. We're gonna use your skills to better our community, which Yeah. Seems like a perfectly legitimate deal to have, you know. Otherwise, you'd have pay it back if you wanted to leave. It's kinda like how they pay school teachers to go to an area and work, and they're like, we'll pay your tuition as if you come work at our school district for ten years, and it's usually, like, low income, really bad.
It's a good deal for them, but they leave, you know, then they get their educations on their own dime. I'd take that deal if I was a teacher.
[00:11:24] Unknown:
He said something like they had some factories. Like, you work in a fact maybe furniture factory or woodworking factory. He would go back working that for a little while, and then after he paid back his debt, like, four years or whatever, then he could leave Duke. Well, he could leave whenever he wanted, but he said it would, like, shunned.
[00:11:43] Unknown:
It's probably hard to come back after you've left, but they'd probably take you
[00:11:49] Unknown:
back. That wouldn't be bad, though. Like, why don't people just drop kids there? Orphanage.
[00:11:57] Unknown:
Orphanage. Like dropping them off at the orphanage, but drop them off at the Mennonites. Let the Mennonites educate them and then pick them up. Educated. He was smarter.
[00:12:06] Unknown:
No. I'll not pick them up later, but just what do you do if you're like a, you know, if your parents are drug addicts or you basically were growing up on your own, you know you could just go up there and get a home. I
[00:12:22] Unknown:
I would seek that out. I would think if you were, you know, neglected and your parents left, I would I think going to the Mennonite community is a great option for you. They take you Like, imagine if you're 12 and your drug addict parents abandon you, and you hitch a ride up to the Mennonite community, and they'd be like, welcome. I think it's a good deal. Do they know? I bet you they do. They like to get that blood, that new new blood in there. You know? They like they could get some of that new fresh blood to mix with their ladies.
And once you're black Poor men. Well, not that fresh. They're not letting you in then. I don't think, anyway.
[00:13:02] Unknown:
They don't want you getting that fresh. You'd have to see what that policy is.
[00:13:07] Unknown:
Well, back to what you were saying about how people are seeking out somebody to take care of them. The Mennonite community and being a cult, you know, there's a whole group of people in The US who like that daddy mentality. Like, they don't wanna be cast out to the wolves and on their own. So, their, you know, their religion is the state and they worship state and they want to be part of the state. And, if you question their god, then they get mad at you because they want to be ruled. Well, the Mennonite community is kind of like that but in a good way. Like, they'll take you in and make you a good, you know, a better better person or at least a useful person.
[00:13:49] Unknown:
But they don't like, it's it's kinda related, though. Like, if their objective was to get more people in, then they would be raising foster kids or whatever, building a more, you know, population to their small I don't know what you would call it. It's not a micronation, but they're little private society, if you wanna call it that. If they wanted to turn it into, like, a city or have more people come to it, you would think they'd be doing that, but they don't do that. That's what makes me think there's some fucking going on. They just keep them, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like families and there gotta be something for adults to wanna Keep the system. You know what I mean? To keep the system going, but not necessarily
[00:14:38] Unknown:
get more people in it. You mean the men in a community like the adults want to keep it going? Yeah. Like almost
[00:14:45] Unknown:
like is their objective that we'll have our own children because they're, like, of a better stock?
[00:14:52] Unknown:
Like, the Amish don't think that, I don't think. I bet you they think that way. They just never say it.
[00:14:57] Unknown:
But the don't the Amish have outside people come in just to get genetic diversity?
[00:15:03] Unknown:
They they invite outside people in to become Amish for genetic diversity, but then they also trade between communities. Mhmm. You know, they'll contact once in Cincinnati and be like, hey. Send us some send us some ladies. You know? We'll send you some ladies.
[00:15:18] Unknown:
I don't know. I just I don't want, you know At least I think. I don't know. Berate on what do you call it? They don't have to keep keep on the sex part of it or whatever. But it just seem it does seem like a real good community. Like anybody that we've ever met for mayor has been, which hasn't been many, but they've been upstanding people.
[00:15:37] Unknown:
Well, you know, they make a lot of good moves. They buy up a lot of land. You know, they pool their money together and buy land like sort of like Indians do. And, you know, the Asian community does. They'll pool their money with relatives and other like minded people and then buy businesses and land, which, you know, that's a good deal.
[00:15:58] Unknown:
And also to like wanna like with them, it's more like a social socialistic type thing. Like they have a community hall, they all pool community clothes and things. The Amish is like almost the opposite of that. Like, they don't want any outside involvement or anything provided they wanna be left alone. They wanna make their own things and support their own communities, but each family's kinda independent. Like, when the election happened, they, I guess historically, like, don't vote. Right. And, they were so, like, kind of, I don't know, concerned with what was going on that they, like, went out and voted. Well, I think, yeah, I think there were some incidents that caused that.
[00:16:44] Unknown:
I believe some of it may have had to do with commerce. You know, the I think the government came in and stopped the Amish from maybe selling raw milk or honey. Maybe stopping some sort of operation like that. Okay. And then, I think you're right with the raw milk and the bird flu. I believe they took I don't know the details, but I think what happened was they took one of the elders, some of his property and, you know, over some time, he got it back. But whenever the election came up, they voted as a block. Yeah.
[00:17:21] Unknown:
Well, they had said something like, we don't know where the voting places are or whatever, and they got the horse and buggy situation. And I guess they said, well, we'll send bosses out if you guys get on them. They sent bosses out and they, like, overwhelmingly went out to vote. Hey.
[00:17:38] Unknown:
Do the Amish go to figure out what happens with him when you wrong somebody? Yeah. You know, one time, it's it's like, it's like how you create terrorists, except, you know, you're doing it to the Amish and they come and vote. Yeah.
[00:17:51] Unknown:
I bet they'd get wild too if things got wild.
[00:17:54] Unknown:
Dude, imagine having a community where you know you're good no matter what happens. Yeah. Like like, you can say whatever you want about branch Davidians or some cult up in I'm not equating branch Davidians with a call, but I'm saying, like, let's say there's a call in the mountains. They're always worried. Even preppers, they're always worried that they don't have enough. Imagine living in a community where you know you got it. Like, you're good. Like, we'll make clothes. We don't need power tools. We don't need power. We'll get a hundred dudes together and build a building. Yeah. You know, they do it all, and they don't worry about it. That's gotta be a stress free lifestyle. Oh, man. No bath, maybe once a week.
[00:18:37] Unknown:
See you. Peaches all canned up all the time. Wintertime, no problem. Peaches. Jerry's. Yeah. Pickles if you want them.
[00:18:48] Unknown:
It almost sounds like heaven. Yeah. I don't know, man. But, you know, you most Americans have a well, at least most good Americans have a rugged individualist streak in them. They don't go joining communities like that. They think, I can make it on my own.
[00:19:10] Unknown:
Only really there's like a sliver of Americans that that's their way of living. Like it wasn't like that in a depression and it probably hopefully or maybe won't be like that in the future depending on what you know how things shake out, but really just them. Do you got a beeper? You beat me if I swear, or you just play it?
[00:19:38] Unknown:
You can swear. I just the only thing I'd beep out is when people talk, say last names and shit. Oh, okay.
[00:19:45] Unknown:
Well, like the boomer generation, they've ruined everything. They did ruin everything. They're the only the ones that sold out all their liberties for convenience and Comfort. Totally ignorant to everything. I mean, they don't even use the fucking rear view mirror in the car. They, like, stop on the on ramp. You know what I mean? Because their necks don't work. They don't turn. They're all doped up and is emptied out and fucking retarded. They're fucking retards because they don't. I think young people's woke up to a lot of things, and we're like a different kind of generation. You know what I mean? It's almost like I think they see us kinda like our parent like our parents.
You know what I mean? Like, let me think of how to explain. Like, if you had seen Victoria in ten years, like, doing some stupid shit, like something real stupid, you'd come down on her. Yeah. But, like, that wasn't them. Like, World War two generation went off and they just crushed. They just sliced and diced, then they came home, built themselves nice little houses, and they were like, I'm gonna chill. Hopefully, my kid ain't a fucking retard doing retard you know what I mean? Doing stupid shit. And they kinda did. That's exactly what this kid did. Well, like, if you went off the water five years ago, and you would have came home, but then it been like the wealthiest country on her and you said, damn, I'm gonna go out by a hundred acres and build myself a little house and you work for another five years and build that little house. And then you see like, you know, Victoria Diner hair blue, you'd be like, what the fuck? But would you really have the energy to want to intervene? You know what I mean? We never want to see your kid going down a path that's gonna ruin their life. You know? So you always try to correct them and keep them between the ditches. Right. So when you see that,
[00:21:37] Unknown:
it's, I don't know, it's like instant disappointment. So what you're gonna do is you're gonna come down hard because you don't want your kid to end up Right. Because they may not see their future, but you can. Which was the grandparent generation.
[00:21:52] Unknown:
Like, Like, I remember on the farm, Myrtle, me and my little brother was up there and we used to throw in pairs. And my grandpa, you know, his what Myrtle, she seen us throw in pairs and she freaked out. She was like, I'm effing kids are up there throwing in pairs, wasting them because they were depression people, you know? And they would come down like on my dad or my mom if he was doing something stupid. And then when they passed away, it's like our parents just kept doing the stupid shit, stupid boomer shit, getting scammed, investing in time shit, wasting our money, like not thinking about anything real, like I should buy land or I should buy gold. And there are those kids like whose parents did do that, and they're the ones that everybody says, Oh, well, these people own all the land over in small. These people own all the land up on the mountain because their parents were smart. But for the most part, they did like, you know, most of the boomer kids just went off Totally ignorant. Oh, they
[00:22:50] Unknown:
were the easy lifestyle, anything, any new fad or anything that ever blew into town. They just did it because
[00:22:56] Unknown:
I mean, everything was plentiful. I mean, one and the predator class bear down on them. They're to what? Like, the pharmaceutical companies are eating old people right now, like at Boomer generation, just crushing them because they're too dumb to read or they're fooled by things like, oh, the vaccine safe and effective, safe. And you could basically lie to the boomer generation. They don't know how the Internet works. They don't talk to nobody else. They don't they had forgotten everything. Grandparents' generation, they knew how to grow a tomato, grow a potato, when to put the garlic in, how to raise chicken, you know, only that really boomer generation and maybe like the what would it be? The millennial generation maybe a little bit? Don't?
[00:23:39] Unknown:
I don't know, man. I I'd say the millennials and I'd say the millennials are quite capable. Yeah. Young kids are getting it. They are. I mean, they looked they took a look around. They said, you know what? Everybody's everybody's bagging on us. Mhmm. You know? And they were they were, would have been a time I don't I don't even know what generation we're in now. Generation alpha, whatever. But they looked around and they said everybody's bagging on us. And, clearly, what the people before us did are doing didn't work. So we better we better figure something out. So they did. Yeah. And they're killing it. They are good for them. Young kids getting into trades
[00:24:17] Unknown:
again. Like, it's laughable now because when the economy gets bad, you hear all these stories or you see guys driving their diesel trucks around it. You know, dirty hands, clean money, like those kids are doing good, younger kids are doing good, our grandparents' generation did good. It's just that one right in the middle there. That sliver forgot, you know?
[00:24:40] Unknown:
There's this book I read maybe a year ago. It's called, like, The Fourth Turning, and it talks about, like, generations that puts them in categories. Uh-huh. And it's it's related to that, like, good times make Yeah. Weak men type thing. And, I can't name all the generations in this book, but it started, the history in this book started, as far back as the guy could, I guess, corroborate some evidence. So, he went back to, let's say, maybe like the War of the Roses type stuff. You know, mid fifteen hundred's or early sixteen hundred's? And, he started with naming the generations. And, he has all these charts and graphs, and he names these generations, depending on what it was, you know. It wasn't documented, but he's like saying, okay, twenty five years you had this generation. And, then there's always something that happens to the last generation. The last generation always has a huge crisis that they're forced to contend with.
So if you brought that up to now I could I could relate some of it as best I could, but if you brought that up to modern times, the great crisis of the previous generation was what? World War two. Okay. And then so that's the fourth generation of that group. So the first, maybe the golden age generation, and then what they call it, the silent generation, and then the the lost generation, and then the greatest generation, which was the kids who fought World War two. Okay. Then the first generation is the boomers. The boomers have it good. The crisis has been solved. Yeah.
Great existential crisis has been solved. They got it good. And he relates this all the way back in history. It's always that first generation that is the worst. Okay. You know? Or they ruin it. They take all the heights and the greats of what the great of what the previous generation created and solved for them, And then they basically rebel because times are good. And then you get the next generation, which for what we know is Generation X. And that generation is left on their own because the previous generation is so self absorbed that the next generation is basically left to fend for themselves.
Then, the generation comes after that. Since you were left on your own, you become, like, what they say, call used to call helicopter parents, which creates the millennials. You know, you're looking at everything they're doing, like, the kids weren't allowed to do it. And then you get the next generation, which is what do they call it? I don't know what they call it last generation. X? Or Z. Is it Gen Z? Okay. I think it's Gen Z. It's the fourth, right? So, what this book is saying is that just Gen, this the gen z, they're gonna have a major crisis that's gonna make them the heroes, like the greatest generation was.
Now if you go back to World War two, the greatest generation were the kids, the youngest, like, the last generation, the 18 year olds, 17 year olds running off the war. But the the the people who were the generals of that were the, basically, the gen x ers of their time. Mhmm. They were called upon. They were, like, in their 50 forties and fifties already, but they were called upon to come back and lead the greatest generation to victory. I mean, is what this is contending in, you know, in a in a, you know, a lot more evidence of what I'm putting to it here. So they're saying that this Gen z is going to have a huge crisis and Gen X will be called up to be the the managers of it, like the leaders to, like, you know, basically the the tacticians of the whole thing to solve this crisis for Gen Z. But, Gen Z will take the credit.
Okay. You know, Gen Z will take, you know, they'll be considered the greatest generation of this eighty year, hundred year generational span. And I forget what they call it. Turnings. They call it like turnings, I think, maybe. And, and then after that, there'll be another generation of just useless people that are cruising on, basically the highs of the Gen Z solving the, you know, fixing the existential crisis. And it says and then this book basically just shows how this happened throughout history. The only hiccup ever was the civil war. Like, the civil war was basically the only anomaly.
But everything else was, because it happened at an off time. Like, it they they say, like, it's every eighty to a hundred years, there's there's a major crisis and the generations, they all follow the same pattern and have to solve it in that same way. You know? It's a I mean, it's a it's a pretty good book. Really interesting to see, you know, the way this guy puts it. But he does it, like, 12 times over, you know, going back in history. He's saying, you know, whatever war or whatever, you know, the revolutionary war, same thing. Like, General Washington was basically the gen actor of his time, called up called upon to lead the younger people to to victory.
And then, you know, obviously, it happens again and again.
[00:30:26] Unknown:
I mean, throughout world history or American history?
[00:30:31] Unknown:
World history. World history.
[00:30:34] Unknown:
I don't know.
[00:30:36] Unknown:
Yeah. It's pretty good. It's an interesting take on it. It gives you hope. You know?
[00:30:43] Unknown:
I think that there's definitely something to be said for that, like in a seventy year or hundred year cycle. I thought I heard something about a seventy year cycle before too. I think it's seventy, eighty to a hundred, something like that. It's an estimate. I think there's something to what you were saying about, like, inside of those major generations, there's smaller cycles or whatever. You know, like every 30 years, we do a war, right? Every 33 or whatever, we're doing a war. So you would think that there would be some cyclical, you know, like veterans come home, they think like this, they raise their families like this, or they enjoy some prosperity from winning a war.
But then the civil war is true. It's true, but you
[00:31:28] Unknown:
I'm not talking about, wars that we you know, let's say from World War two to now, nobody fought a real war. I mean, I'm not disparaging anybody saying you didn't fight a real war, but, I mean, these were all police actions, weren't they? In Korea? What were we doing in Korea? Growing that GDP, baby. We were trying to were we trying to protect Japanese colonies or oust Japanese colonies from Korea or protecting South Korea? What were we doing? And then we did and then Vietnam. Not real. I'm not saying it wasn't horrible. I'm just saying not declared. Not a world war. It wasn't World War Two. Yeah. You know, so these these things didn't create like a I mean, it created something within that generation, but didn't create like an existential crisis like World War two did. Well, they weren't,
[00:32:27] Unknown:
you know, World War two was a war over philosophy in some way. Yeah. You know, communism versus socialism versus being free. You know, those were
[00:32:40] Unknown:
And you could say a lot of things about World War two, and I don't know if any of them could be would be correct because what what you could you could start off by saying that the bankers caused World War two. Well, I could get behind that. That's what I'm saying is
[00:32:53] Unknown:
the notion of the people working for the bankers in, like, some type of disguise form of, like, slavery or whatever that I mean that. But then that goes back to the civil war, goes back to the European wars. Really? The wars that the Vatican fought, like you're basically gonna be a subsidiary of us and pay your dues and we're gonna take your gold and we're gonna let you be, but your ruling establishment will be of us. You know what I mean? Like the Borgias in Spain. Or just gangsters. Just a mafia. Yeah. I mean,
[00:33:35] Unknown:
paying for protection.
[00:33:40] Unknown:
Rome had always enjoyed, like, a system where the territories outside paid dues. But, I mean, we still kinda do that today or whatever.
[00:33:54] Unknown:
Well, if you were Rome, you went out and conquered you know, you moved into an area and conquered people, having them pay dues for protection. Sounds better than having bloody savages come out of the Northeast and slaughtering you.
[00:34:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I mean, I mean, they went all the way north to London, And then after the Spanish become very powerful, you know, the Spanish Navy, very powerful. And then they come to South America, the Spaniards get all that gold, bring it back, and give it back to the Vatican. Then those same Spaniards come north to America, you know, Christopher Columbus.
[00:34:37] Unknown:
He's Italian. Dega.
[00:34:43] Unknown:
He's still from Spain, right? No. He was,
[00:34:47] Unknown:
commissioned by the king and queen of Spain. They said send him. Send him. Oh, hey. He had the fucking balls to go. Yeah.
[00:34:57] Unknown:
Also, everybody leave the Earth was flat back then. Yeah. And Antarctica didn't appear. You fall right off, you know?
[00:35:06] Unknown:
Gotta have big balls like a bull. Italian bull.
[00:35:11] Unknown:
But then, ain't that kind of weird, though? Like the Spaniards engage in this system where they go, they pillage, they kill all the local people, and then they get the gold and they bring it back.
[00:35:21] Unknown:
Why they do it? They had the Navy. Well, yeah. It wasn't them. It would have been someone else. But they get going for the gold, though. You know what I mean? Then the civil war breaks out. Wouldn't have gone to get the gold. You telling me that Spanish were the only ones craving gold or the or, you know, for the Vatican? If the Vatican could have sent the Italians, they'd have sent them. Right. If they could have sent if they could have sent Visigoths there and they would have sent them. Yeah. Like America wants to
[00:35:49] Unknown:
push up against Russia or whatever, so they send the Ukrainians. Yeah, send the Ukrainians. You just financially back the thing. That's, you know, that's all you got to do. Dude, this Ukrainian thing drives me insane. Well, before we get off of that, it's like the Spaniards sent ships down south during a civil war and then it's like, well, why is Spain involved in our civil war? But then like in the South, they're practicing slavery, like a system that's always existed on the behalf of Rome or the Vatican or Spain or to South American excursions, whatever you wanna call that.
You know, they wanna see this system keep going.
[00:36:31] Unknown:
You're saying it's the Vatican's way of ensuring part of the old world stays viable even though you had people, you know, like Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson, all these, classic liberal thinkers trying to basically change humanity for to get away from that. You know, they were trying to absolutely they were trying to completely change humanity's mind about you don't pay fealty to a king or somebody above you. It's now you, which was extremely dangerous. You're saying the South was encouraged by the old world to keep a system in place Or, I think they're more like they're used to or more like they want, almost to bring down the Well, Rome would be like England. Right? Like the center of power moves. So, like the Bank of England is like the bankers.
[00:37:30] Unknown:
And, it has something to do also with, like, in England, you had royalty, right? Like they were rich and powerful, like oligarchs. And then the economy kind of opens up during the Industrial Revolution. So, now you have like a, say you're like a guy that makes fucking lumber, you know what I mean? You just had a little old lumber mill and now you got all this dough. Like the industrialists raised a new blue blood class, so things like had to change. So, the banking class like emerges. Centralized banking, you know, centralized banking becomes big and it's the Bank of England. And then America starts to grow its legs and go through its own industrial revolution, so the center of power has the potential to change.
And then as we industrialize, like, we become a very wealthy place and people start to take notice and say, hey, we gotta get involved in that. You got this place that's developing over here. They're industrialized in the North. In the South, they got slave laborers. You know what I mean? They practice slave labor and agriculture. So, other countries who are more powerful than us, who are currently superpowers while we're a developing nation, look at us and say, we need a stake. Well, they definitely tried to undermine that. Well, right. Because Spain sent warships to the South, and England sent sent warships
[00:39:02] Unknown:
on behalf of the North up to New York. Well, I think they were trying to undermine and antagonize not only from then, but from, like, let's say, 1787.
[00:39:11] Unknown:
You know what I mean? For sure. I mean, yeah. The civil war was But that war going on between Russia and the bankers, Russia was currently like, before the civil war happened, Russia was kicking the bankers out of Russia. So Alexander looks at the situation in America and says, this can't happen. Dude, Russia is always kicking the bankers out of Russia. Right. Even to this day. And the Russia the Russians wanted to help us kick the bankers out of America. So they ended up sending the Russian warships and said, if you two idiots get involved in this, we're gonna go ahead and get involved in it, and we're gonna fucking keep the peace. We're gonna let America go through its own experiment and become exactly what it wants to be.
So you never heard about, like, Spanish ships engage in English ships or whatever over in fucking the New York Harbor on behalf of Spain, though, too. You know what I mean? Like, that system continue in that system of slavery or whatever. Who
[00:40:08] Unknown:
who came over and had ships staged off our shores during the civil war? Russia.
[00:40:14] Unknown:
Who else? Spain and England.
[00:40:18] Unknown:
Okay. So Well, I don't What was
[00:40:22] Unknown:
each country's purpose for being here? Well, they were going to back Assad. Spain was going to back the South, and England was going to back the North. Okay. And Russia? But that was going to turn into that kind of World War. Right? Like on a, it's an away game for both of those places. Yeah. So they're going to make sure that this huge country with all this natural beauty and wealth or whatever lands up, you know, lands the way that they want it to be. Heads up or tails up?
[00:40:53] Unknown:
What was Russia's Navy doing there? If England's back in the North and
[00:40:57] Unknown:
Spain's back in the South? I don't think it ever became a thing where they confronted each other. No, I know. They think it was Alexander the second basically saying that you guys do that. So, it was a pre threat, but I think that Spain did have warships in the South. I think they actually showed up off North Carolina or something like that. I don't know. We
[00:41:15] Unknown:
would have to fact check me on that. These things these are the types of things I wish I knew more about because I mean, I've ignored pretty much the civil war. I don't I know almost nothing about civil war history, and I wish I knew some of the deeper stuff like you know about this. Oh, fuck. Like, this is this is the interesting shit. Well, I'm, like, spitting this off. I mean, I like I like the idea the theory that Russia's been protecting The United States for as long as we've been around, you know, because they they want us to succeed. They do. Yeah. I mean, that's a that's a that's an interesting theory.
[00:41:51] Unknown:
Well, what did they do right after that? Sold us Alaska. Exactly. Like, hey. You guys don't need them fucking centralized bankers. But then the creature from Jack O'Loughlin comes.
[00:42:04] Unknown:
It's funny how they've tried to do this several times, and several times we've sent them packing until 1913 when we welcomed them with a fucking open arms. But what? It happened a couple times during the eighteen hundreds. Right? Or no? I mean, it even happened before the 1800. They they tried to establish a central bank. We told them I believe they told what is it? Alexander Hamilton? Told him no. We don't want it. Then then it was, what? They did establish the first Bank of America second Bank of America somewhere around eighteen, sixteen, seventeen. In New York or whatever. And then Andrew Jackson sent him packing?
[00:42:50] Unknown:
Yeah. It didn't it wasn't what, I mean, you couldn't get your gold back until, like, what, 1971 or 1973. So, like, we were still gold backed. I think you could still get your gold in 1971 or 1973.
[00:43:13] Unknown:
You could, but it was limited.
[00:43:16] Unknown:
Maybe it was 1931, but then in 1970 well, I think they did that in 1971, and then in 1973, they made it where Congress could operate under a deficit. Like, they could pass spending bills on deficit. Like, that's what threw everything way out of whack. You know what I mean? Like, you couldn't get your gold back. And then also congress was spending money that they didn't actually have. You know what I mean? The budget could operate in a deficit. So now it's like that's how you get real bad inflation. Well, you know
[00:43:52] Unknown:
because now you're spending This is this is where we we were talking about yes the other day whenever I was I was saying I didn't think you were right about the the the gold because there was a time we went off the gold standard because we used to pay our trade deficits with gold. So they found that to be unsustainable because we're giving all our gold reserves away because as we were a powerful developing country, you know, we were obviously operating with a trade deficit because we needed to buy things from other countries, which is a normal thing to do. Like, it's it's, I would say, pretty normal to have a trade, slight trade deficit with another country. Yeah. To do normal, worldly business, right? It doesn't mean you're failing. I mean, obviously, now, you know, we have a trade deficit with every country in the world. And, maybe that's a symptom of being the world's reserve currency.
But we used to have to give our gold away to pay for the trade deficit, which I think is why they went off the gold standard is because they will it allowed them to just use fiat currency to pay debts to other countries. So we kept the gold, yet gave them what, you know, everybody considered a piece of, you know, legal tender that you could do business with. And, you know, for some reason, they accepted it because we I mean, maybe not before. We weren't probably the world reserve currency until, what, nineteen fifties or something. But I don't think we're paying trade deficits in gold to this day. I mean, people are still accepting our fiat dollars for it, or they we buy treasuries from their country or we let their country invest here.
So we allow the Chinese to pay, you know, to buy investments here to pay the trade deficit that we have with them. When there's a deal? Well, I think they have a deal all the time. That's why there's no world war. Yeah. But if you operate a deficit every year for ten years, eventually, they're gonna wanna square up. Well, I think they're squaring up because they're getting investments here. That's why we're selling half the country to the Chinese or in other countries is because we have a trade deficit with them and then we allow them to invest here. And we buy their treasuries, which keeps their economy, probably their countries afloat. I don't know, though.
I'm talking out of my ass. But but like I said the other day, I didn't think you were correct because I we're not giving our gold away unless there's something you don't that I that you know that I don't. Last year, we bought a what? A 31
[00:46:35] Unknown:
tons of gold. Did it create a situation where there was negative inflation or zero inflation? You know what I mean? Like, did you see anywhere where they said in the CPI index inflation is gonna stay at zero because we bought 131 tons of gold? No. What a gold got put into our system.
[00:47:02] Unknown:
Why would that stop inflation? The thing that causes inflation is printing money.
[00:47:11] Unknown:
Right. Putting gold in here. If you print money where you can't back it by the equivalent, as soon as you get away from one for one, you have inflation. So if you put more gold in but you don't print any money, you should have deflation. Yeah, but it's not tied to gold anymore, so it doesn't,
[00:47:28] Unknown:
these are two different things now.
[00:47:30] Unknown:
I think, I don't know, but Well, yeah, they wind up, you wind up in deficit. But, what I'm saying is they're putting gold into the system, but we don't ever see that. Like, we don't ever see an effect of it. No.
[00:47:47] Unknown:
I don't think you would. I think they're, you know, they're stockpiling. I don't think it changes the system. You know, you don't see any difference in prices Right. Because we constantly print more money. So, if you run a 2,000,000,000 $200,000,000,000
[00:48:02] Unknown:
deficit with China for three years and you're down $600,000,000,000 you know, or three years at $200,000,000,000 you know, at the end of year three, maybe you say, hey, I don't think this is going to turn on its head. We need to settle up. That's how they do that through the Bank of International Settlements.
[00:48:19] Unknown:
But they do settle up, like I said, with What? With beep bop boops? With no. They're they're selling they're selling investments. I mean
[00:48:27] Unknown:
What's Greece gonna sell?
[00:48:30] Unknown:
Nothing. Right. The country is bankrupt. We don't have a trade deficit with Greece. Right. They don't fucking produce anything.
[00:48:37] Unknown:
Uh-huh.
[00:48:38] Unknown:
But China, I mean Where'd their gold go? Our our our economy is buying everything from China. So, you know, yeah, a huge trade deficit. We probably have a trade deficit with almost every industrialized country on Earth. I don't think I think that it's a bad thing if you do it forever. But, you know, like you said, a couple of years, it's probably normal. What should happen is it should go the other way because it it probably it's tied to savings too. Right? So what it's saying is that if we have a trade deficit with China, all these Americans are can't stop buying Chinese goods. So what they're not doing is saving their money. They're buying shit on Tmoo.
So it's saying that savings is bad too. You know, America's if America just started saving their money, we wouldn't have a trade deficit because they'd stop buying garbage. And, I know that consumer stuff's probably, it's probably a large part of it. I mean, part of me would say maybe it's not a large part of it because it's just cheap, you know, stuff from China, you know, and the real trade deficit comes from maybe our government buying minerals or something from China. But, I'm gonna say all the cheap Chinese crap that we get is probably the larger portion of it. Yeah. You know, because Americans can't stop. We can't stop buying shit. Right. So, if we're in the whole $200,000,000,000
[00:50:05] Unknown:
every year, eventually, they're gonna want their money.
[00:50:08] Unknown:
But, are they gonna want dollar bills? I think they're getting it. They're getting land.
[00:50:13] Unknown:
They're getting investments. Well, they're doing that. But what I'm saying is just on the raw trade deficit, like, hey, you guys imported X amount of goods. You owe us this much tariff on it or taxes. They have to square up. If not, why wouldn't we just be in deficit with everybody all the time and just keep shoveling them our fake dollar bills? Like, the central bankers want paid. This isn't an exchange for countries, it's an exchange for the bankers like the Central Bank of England or the Central Bank of the United States. They want paid in real money.
And the constitution tells you what real money is, gold and silver coin.
[00:50:56] Unknown:
We're talking about illegitimate bankers. We're talking about illegitimate bankers, not real bankers. Well, yeah. Not the teller, you know. Listen. Those kind of bankers. Listen. No matter what anybody says, if you're at the top, you want gold. Right. So I don't care what anybody says. You can say fiat currency. You know, anybody can say that, oh, yeah. These central banks, you know, they want paid, but you're right. They want paid in gold. The people at the top of the Ponzi scheme don't want fiat dollars. And I'm telling you, there's airplanes that take off full of gold going to different places
[00:51:29] Unknown:
periodically. Yeah. But is it
[00:51:32] Unknown:
Yeah. Well
[00:51:35] Unknown:
The Pink Panthers robbed one of them. You can Google it. Well, the bankers are getting paid
[00:51:40] Unknown:
through they're they're getting paid, they're they're printing fiat money and taking gold in exchange for it. Or they're taking the labor of every citizen in The United States. Guaranteed.
[00:51:57] Unknown:
They're actually doing something way worse than that. Which, you know, they're actually not even taking in gold. They're taking your credit application and they're printing money based on it. For sure. Like, when you apply for a car loan what? Do you not wanna get into this? I you can go. I
[00:52:21] Unknown:
I I don't have anything When you apply I don't have anything to add to because I don't know anything about it. But if you're gonna get into it, when you apply for a car loan or you wanna do it another time? No. Just quick. When you apply for car loan, car loan's $35,000,
[00:52:33] Unknown:
whatever it is. You apply for the the application is the credit. Like, you you are the principal. You're the wealth generator. So, what you're doing is you're telling them, like, hey, I need $35,000 to go buy this truck to work on my farm, and they're taking that promissory note that you create and they're taking it to the UCC ten window and they're getting paid in dollar bit. They're a lot you know, fractional reserve banking and these type of rules allow them to take that $35,000 get paid in full, but then fractionally reserve, you know, 90% of whatever that is.
Agreed. So a hundred thousand dollar truck, they got to put they get to loan out $90,000 of it and also, they took your hundred thousand dollar credit loan application and they got paid up. So now, they got a hundred thousand in the bank of cash directly from the UCC window and then on top of that, they're loaning out 90,000 that they don't even have on the books, Just over your hundred thousand dollar application. Yes. So every credit application, you know, is free doubling your money. That's why when you go into a Lowe's or Home Depot, they want you to do that fucking credit application because they've started their own banks. So now, they're fractionally reserved banking, you know, 90% of everything that your card's good up for, but then they also take that $10,000 application and they go and get paid $10,000 and put that in their bank. They doubled their money for free. Mhmm.
The whole economy is moving on like money that ain't real, but gold's real. Countries won't pay in gold. They're getting their gold. It's just happening on an airplane late at night. Nobody knows.
[00:54:17] Unknown:
How do we start a bank?
[00:54:19] Unknown:
Oh, this is a question that I've asked beep and beep a million times. Jezebel. Jezebel and Bujondra. I've asked them about a thousand times, like, why can't you start your own but then I don't even think it can be a branch bank. It has to be like
[00:54:38] Unknown:
What what if you started, like Elon Musk wants to start a service like Venmo or something, you know, or on x where you pay. You use it like PayPal. Uh-huh. That's sort of like starting a bank but without without all the rules. Right?
[00:54:57] Unknown:
Well, yeah. I mean, if you could convince everybody to use your x bucks or whatever. So now they're doing, like, the same scam. Like, he'll take all your greenbacks Mhmm. Put them all in the bank vault. Yep. And then you're gonna be spending x bucks. So then he can take all your greenbacks and take them to Saudi Arabia and buy himself a nice house, and you never know the wiser.
[00:55:20] Unknown:
Yeah. Old banking rules would say you'd have to keep reserves, but if there's no rules on a company like that, they can just spend all your money. You only gotta have 10% reserves? I don't even think you have to have 10 anymore. I think they upped it to 10. I don't think you have to have 10. Really? I think you can have way less. I think it's down to somewhere like 1.7% or something. Yeah. I believe in the latest revision of E. W. Griffin's creature from Jekyll Island, he updates it, and he says it's more like 1.7%.
[00:55:55] Unknown:
The common theme in all of this stuff though is it does follow the bankers. It does follow like the bankers getting kicked out of Eastern Europe by the Russians, them needing some place to go. Which bankers? Central bankers. Russia. Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe. I mean, it had a lot to do with Ukraine. Had a lot to do with
[00:56:20] Unknown:
Are you talking about modern times?
[00:56:22] Unknown:
I'm talking about civil war times. Okay. Go back 1862 or 1863,
[00:56:28] Unknown:
something like that. This is what? The czar Nicholas? Alexander. Alexander. Okay. Yeah. He knew Alexander the second. Now, see, I wish I knew this history better. I think Alexander and Alexander the second. I don't know. We'd have to look. So I wish I knew more about this. There's some of this happened with Napoleon as well. Right? He he wanted to throw the bankers out of France. Everybody always wants to throw the bankers out of everywhere. Yeah. Because the smart people know that they're ruining everything. But then but then you get caught up and you need money for your war, so then you're like, alright. I'll take money from the bankers, and then you're stuck. And then you end up dying on an island Right. Getting poisoned by the fucking green wallpaper. Yeah.
[00:57:13] Unknown:
Lot of bankers have been persecuted all over Europe. Oh, poor bankers. Poor
[00:57:18] Unknown:
bankers. Boy, everywhere they go, they I tell you what they're they're catching a lot of flack these days. They're catching some flack these days. It's almost like people are realizing it again. Yeah.
[00:57:38] Unknown:
Well, you know, they start that system up over here, and now look at us. We're Rome. Mhmm. It's you know?
[00:57:49] Unknown:
I tell you what, why can't people just be free? Or why can't they be smart enough to get in on the game? One or the other.
[00:57:55] Unknown:
Well, we were free, then some bankers came here, and now we're not. But then it seems a lot, you know, it seems a lot like some other type of system like that centralized power wants to take up your gold and enslave you. It doesn't really matter who's behind it or which flavor of it is. It's always the same thing. We were like the first experiment where we owned everything, like we owned all the land, we owned all the gold, the government worked for us. That's like a whole backwards concept. Yeah. And that that was a big no no. Right. And, like, the civil war really gets into it because, you know, people make it about slavery, people make it about states' rights. I mean, is it even about states' rights?
Like, you look into the whole thing, like, you had outside pressures that wanted to reshape America into a certain thing. Was it just about states' rights? You know, you had these empires and superpowers putting their influence on it, telling us what we think that was about. Just like today, we know that the South like, we know that the Civil War didn't start over slavery, but 90% of people think that still today. Mhmm. Like, it was a huge economic push. There were political influences coming from overseas. There were people with ideas on what the overarching concept of America was gonna look like, that these people had this power and they had this wealth, this land.
And how do we get some of that? How do we, you know, get ourselves in on that upper rung of whatever that society shapes out to be? And I think we still just ain't. I think that we were really close to losing it. That boomer generation just kinda slept while it almost slipped out of the fingertips of the average American, and now it's turning back.
[00:59:46] Unknown:
I don't know. I don't have that much faith. I don't think it's turning back. No? No. People are asleep still.
[00:59:55] Unknown:
I don't know, John.
[00:59:57] Unknown:
If they put one listen. If if Donald Trump could put one more Band Aid on it, everybody would go right back to sleep.
[01:00:03] Unknown:
It's hard to say right now. It's real early. You know, some of the things he did do and then some of the things that he is you know, it's hard to
[01:00:15] Unknown:
it's hard to have faith whenever you just keep saying the same thing repeat. You know? You think you think you're getting a you think you're getting a champion. Everybody thinks they're getting a champion. And what's he do? Yeah. I mean, yeah. It would have been worse worse had it gone the other way, but only it it would have been just more sudden, maybe. Now it's just still a slow slow burn. We'll get there eventually, just not as quick.
[01:00:43] Unknown:
You think you mean what do you mean by get there?
[01:00:47] Unknown:
Total, you know, total, I think we're going down the path pretty quickly of, this the economy collapsing and the central bank basically stepping in to be the hero and saying, we've got a solution. We can put everybody's money. You know, we'll we'll collect all the money and all the dollars on Earth will all be destroyed. You know? We'll we'll put everyone on a on a central bank digital currency. What we'll do to alleviate this and make people more accepting of us is we'll get rid of all everybody's debts. All your debts are gone. Uh-huh. You know? And everybody will be like, oh my god. It it can't be bad. Let's go to the central bank digital currency. All my debts are forgiven. Let's start over at zero. But then you're on the you're on complete digital control at that point. Right?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say right. That's that's stupid. It's like a hypnotic technique. I know. I know what you mean. And, I I think everybody does it. But, I think we were we were headed towards it, and it would have happened really quickly. And then everybody suddenly got some breathing room. Everybody thought, oh, alright. We got somebody who's going to, be the champion. He's gonna keep us from this. But then you turn around and look, and he's got Elon Musk who definitely wants to have a digital currency. Mhmm. And probably, but won't say it, a social credit.
Let's talk about that. It's the same thing. Yes, it's the same thing. Right. Nobody will ever say it, but what they wanna do is they wanna control your behavior eventually because they know that there are billions of regular people and a small minority of people in charge. So, if they can control you from a distance using your money, then that's the ultimate goal. You know, you no longer do it through war or anything or population control. You're basically just controlling people's lives through their check, you know, through their bank account. And, you know, I guess you could say it's all tied back to there. But I think we're just heading down the same route, just a little slower. Maybe faster. Maybe the best thing would have been for Donald Trump to lose.
Everything crash. Everybody reject all this crap. We get back to something more like a gold standard in a hundred years, you know, fifty years after we lived through the dark ages. Mhmm. You know? But then when we come out the other end, much like Ron Paul used to say, hey. It's gonna hurt for a generation, but when we come out, we're gonna be stronger than ever, you know, which nobody liked that message back in the day. Nobody wants to hear Ron Paul say that. That's why he lost, you know. And people were scared. They wanted a band aid. Well, you know, after the dark ages will come out, we could have came out stronger. But I think maybe Trump's delaying it is what I'm saying. It's like, we're getting there, he's just delaying it.
You think so? Yeah. I think so. I got no hope. I got no hope. I know. You got no optimism. I don't. I lost I lost optimism. But,
[01:03:57] Unknown:
it's still exciting. Would you ever try to, do an experiment with yourself and write that down and then think about how the exact opposite will work?
[01:04:09] Unknown:
No, but I will.
[01:04:13] Unknown:
Like what? I I personally believe that Trump thinks he's Alexander the Great comeback. I don't think his objective is to get through four years. I don't think his objective is to even be Kennedy. I think his objective is to go down in history as the greatest president ever and return us back to, like, a gold standard system in the wealthiest country on Earth and people will build statues to him. Just making it, I don't think to him is good enough.
[01:04:56] Unknown:
I hope that you're right. That would be amazing.
[01:05:01] Unknown:
Like on year three and a half or year three of his presidency, him say, I'm gonna build the greatest building America's ever seen. Like, that's what he does, you know, like Hank Reardon. Yeah. But like he was talking about building that hero's park like he wants to build shit. Well, you got to have money to build shit, and you can't just be building shit while we got all these problems going on. I think that all these things I I like I like your idea of this, and I, you know, we were talking about this before, and I definitely
[01:05:31] Unknown:
thought the same way. I would like this to be true. Like, believe me, if he's the person that sets it up again for all time for for people to be free and prosperous, he definitely will be the greatest man of all time. I got no hope. You see how they are to You know if Trump built a Hero's Park? That shit would be made out of fucking chicken wire and plaster and shit. Uh-uh.
[01:05:58] Unknown:
My man's got a gold toilet. Go back. Look on a machine there. I don't have the Internet. He's of that era. Like, we got golden toilets on Wall Street up here. He thinks different. I hope he thinks different. Well, I hope he I hope he does too. I mean, for everybody. So, well, I mean, the alternative is calamity, and I'm for it. Let's get down.
[01:06:19] Unknown:
I'm down for that. That's way more exciting. But Yeah. But it's not exciting when you think about the greatest experiment that's ever happened and the people that tried to make it possible and what they sacrificed. Like, you'd want it to see it continue. Right? I'd wanna see it continue just for that. Now, like you said, I'm down for calamity.
[01:06:41] Unknown:

I followed this, these lip readers. You ever you ever check out a lip reader?
[01:10:06] Unknown:
No.
[01:10:07] Unknown:
No. I don't think I've ever checked out a lip reader, but I I like it. Well, like, you watch this idea. You watch a football game, you get it, like, a lip reader on there, and they can tell you what the like, oh, these two gals are sitting on a bench talking to each other. Lip reader tell you what they're saying. I've seen, Barron Trump Joe Biden. I don't know when this was. I guess, I don't know if it was a speech or something. I don't know what the heck it was or whatever, but it was after Trump won the election and Joe Biden is there and Baron Trump comes around and he's like, hey buddy, how you how you doing? I haven't seen you in a little bit or whatever.
And the lip reader said Barron Trump looks over and shakes his hand and he goes, exactly. And Biden got this confused look on his face. And Barron Trump just walks off from him and you see Joe Biden look around and you can almost hear that music. These I think these people are a different people, John. Like, he's gonna create a dynasty. If he doesn't, he's a fool because he should. Oh, he should. He's definitely poised to do it. He's poised to do it. It's like you could be Hitler and don't do bad things. It don't matter what you do anyway because they're gonna treat you like Hitler if you don't make it to the end. If you don't win at the end, they're just gonna, you know, frame history around you in some kind of weird way. But you're in an economic uncertain time where people are sick, the immigration is crazy, the borders are unstable, there's wars going on, there's crazy inflation. Like, you're basically living in pre war Germany. You're living in, like, a 1936, '19 '30 '8 Germany. Yeah.
[01:11:46] Unknown:
Decadence.
[01:11:48] Unknown:
Why not take the opportunity? Like, grab the reins and go for it? Like, what do you got to lose? You should. He he has nothing to lose. He's the end of his life. I mean, he's got family, but I think they're ready to do it. Well, I think he's smarter than me. I've been breathing brick dust all day. I would think that he maybe had thought this through, but he raises a kind of kid that looks at Joe Biden in the face and says exactly. Like, stone cold, barren Trump. That's pretty good. Yeah. Like, we're on another level, buddy. Plus, like, the, you know, the people behind him, he got real strong people behind him. He got, like,
[01:12:30] Unknown:
maybe some He does, but what if they're a bunch of dopes? I mean, what if you are Hitler and you just do nothing? Like like, Hitler had ambition, but, like, what what if these people were Hitler, but they just got they're just not gonna do anything? They're just gonna mill around the White House for four years and fail and then and then leave? I don't know. Like, wouldn't that be terrible?
[01:12:50] Unknown:
I just don't think after his last four years of a presidency that he's dumb enough to make mistakes like he did before. Like, he spent all that time tied up in some bullshit Russian collusion, you know? Yeah. And he was just getting just getting his feet wet, you know, and then had to deal with With the lawfare and all that stuff. And then had to fight it for four more years while he wasn't president. Yeah. So it's like he fought himself up from a power you know what I mean? Like, he's fighting them off of him one by one, but now it seems like he's green light. Like, he can railroad through whatever. Like, he's got he's on the other side of it, finally.
There hasn't been nothing about no investigations that I think the Elon Trump thing is genius, actually, because he takes all the flack like a decoy. Mhmm. And, he's the hatchet man. Yeah. And you could blame whatever on him. If you need a guy to take a fall, there's lots of good you know, good Yeah. Plus Trump could always be like, hey. You're fired. You know? And Elon takes all the flack. They're still buddies. It's just he's out of the public eye. He's got no shortage of people behind him that wanna be president for MAGA. Bobby Kennedy, JD Vance, Marco Rubio. All of them are jockeying for that.
[01:14:06] Unknown:
Plus, look at the good job those people are doing. I mean, Marco Rubio used to be a hack. Now look at him.
[01:14:11] Unknown:
Yeah. I mean, that dude is serious. He's got them little hands too. Don't forget about that. Trump's funny, man. I think it'll be funny whenever Bobby Kennedy wants to run for president and he gives it to Vance and Kennedy runs as a Democrat again. What are they gonna do? You know? You wanna talk about people whose ass out, what's them fucking retard Democrats gonna do?
[01:14:35] Unknown:
They got nothing. They're flailing. Do you see them the other day at the State of the Union? They had these little flip things. I saw I saw little bits of that. It that seemed crazy. It said, like, lies on the back of it. Don't the don't the Republicans do the same dumb shit to them whenever there's a State of the Union? Not not to the extreme, but they still do that dumb crap. They get somebody standing up and yelling at them. Yeah. But the audacity of holding a lollipop that says lies when you were the one saying sharp as attack. Yeah. I know. Well, hey. History only exists for the past ten minutes for those people. Right. They don't care. Well, in history also And they keep pushing forward because they know that everybody else's attention spans short. So there's people to watch that, and they think that when they put turn that thing around that says lies, they don't remember that those people lied to them.
Like, that's why they do it. They know that there's nobody out there. Most of the people are not paying attention.
[01:15:29] Unknown:
Bro, I can't get enough of watching a KZO Cortez.

She's she you know, she voted against tax on tips.
[01:15:46] Unknown:
You know what? I saw her explanation for that. She just wanted to typify everything.
[01:15:51] Unknown:
You was a bartender. You was a bartender before you was a congresswoman. Yeah. And how are you gonna argue against that?
[01:15:59] Unknown:
What was her argument against it during in that little
[01:16:02] Unknown:
video? If you make no wages on if you don't if there ain't no taxes on tips, everybody's gonna get paid in tips. So, like, when a guy comes to do brickwork at the house, you're gonna have to pay him in a tip and pay him a $2 salary, and nobody will pay any income tax anymore. That's exactly what we want, you chipmunk. Yeah.
[01:16:19] Unknown:
What's wrong with that? Her explanation for it. Yeah. It's like you stop selling to me. When she was a bartender AOC. She
[01:16:27] Unknown:
it's like she has a fucking diploma in how to hide that tip money. Yeah. Who is she trying to fool? Yeah. Who is she trying to fool? I don't know, man.
[01:16:38] Unknown:
If you watch that Noob and you believe her side of the argument, you know, I would say she's an advocate for it, putting out something like that. We go, it's like, hey. Hey. Hey. I see. You know, I'm already on board. Stop selling it to me. Like that meme. I could play I could play a clip if you want.
[01:16:59] Unknown:

Don't be breaking bad on my freaking, my bread and butter here. Well, we're trying to cover things for you. I tell you what. You know, I may say low. We may say a lot of things about Fayette County, on this podcast, but you know what? I love Fayette County. It's not bad. It's not bad. The people. I like where I live. I like Fayette County. I like the restaurants. I think, you know what's it what's it called whenever, you you have pride in the place where you live, like your country? That'd be called nationalism. Okay. Nationalism.

[01:18:24] Unknown:
This is written by
[01:18:27] Unknown:
Jessica a Johnson. Oh. That is definitely a made up name. Yeah. Sounds like a comic book character.
[01:18:35] Unknown:
Anytime I got three names, it's CIA. It's agent. Yep.
[01:18:40] Unknown:
Alright. Let's Especially with two double letters. Jessica Johnson. Yeah. Definitely CIA.
[01:18:46] Unknown:
I'll tell you right now. The feeling I have is the same feeling I get before I eat a sandwich from Phil's Corner Store. Oh, excitement. So I'll do a little ad read for Phil's Corner Store, the best sandwich in Uniontown. Go to Phil's Corner Store. Know what the fuck you want when you're in line. You get up there, you take too long. Ain't nobody gonna be happy. Say yes to salt and pepper. Get a good sandwich from a local shop. Phil's Corner Store. I second that. Phil's Corner Store's got the best sandwich in town. Alright. Here's the title of this. Five years later, reflecting on a pandemic. I cannot wait to hear what Jessica has to say about this, John. K. Me too. I'm getting excited. And here we go. Oh, National Public Radio for the people that don't know, National Public Radio, definitely a spook operation, definitely used to control, you know, control the narrative during COVID, funded by big pharma, you know, the whole deal. So controlling the narrative every
[01:19:41] Unknown:
day. Yeah. Plus with your tax dollars in a roundabout shady way as well. And also, they have advertisements like, how are they getting our tax dollars and there's advertisements?
[01:19:53] Unknown:
Good look at a Chevy. Anyway, National Public Radio recently posted a questionnaire on its website asking readers to reflect on their experiences, when the COVID nineteen pandemic shut everything down in 2020. For those who were able to quickly resume their usual routines after World Health Organization announced an end to the pandemic in 2023, the time probably passed quickly. For those who experienced grave losses, such as employment, termination, or the deaths of close relatives, the pandemic had a severe lingering effect. Most of the questions on the NPR survey did not apply to me, such as, did you meet your significant other during the pandemic? Or if you own a small business, how is it going now? I'm sure this has been the case for many others who read NPR's online request. However, I thought it was a great idea to pause for the upcoming five year COVID nineteen pandemic anniversary and look back on how our lives have changed. In 2021 in a 2021 column, I shared with readers that I went to Cincinnati's National Underground Railroad Freedom Center on a Saturday field trip with Ohio State University's Lima staff, students, and faculty before COVID nineteen hit. We spent the day enjoying a music don't you think that's funny that this person took this time to make sure everybody knew that they went to the fucking you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
We're going to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Museum.
[01:21:24] Unknown:
Just patting herself on the back. Just one after another.
[01:21:29] Unknown:
Okay. We went to Cincinnati's famous Montgomery and restaurant, nationally known for its barbecue pork loin back bit ribs. In a few months, we were not able to enjoy interactions like that due to mask wearing and social distancing mandates. During COVID nineteen, I wrote about how the pandemic personally affected me and some of my English students. I remember this being a very stressful and scary time for the young people in our classes, some of whom were grieving. Immediate family members passing away or struggling financially due to their parents' job losses. Like, this is so crazy to me because the people that listen to NPR are the same people that want you to wear the mask and social distance.
And then they're the ones who called for jobs to get shut down, causing people to lose their home. They're the ones who called for people, old people to get locked in a fucking retirement. You know what I mean? Locked in the homes. But they're also the ones intubating people. Intubating? Intubating. Okay. Like, remember in New York? Yeah. We don't we need ventilators. We need more we need government funding. We don't got enough ventilators. It was Then you turn out. It was the first big call was we need ventilators. Right.
So, like, nowadays, though, COVID is just like cold, which is what everybody said when it just started. So like all the things that affected this person are exactly what they voted for. You know what I mean? The people that they support, what they vote for, they're calling for more of it today. They're calling for you to put your mask back on Mhmm. Because of a bird flu. Mhmm.
[01:23:15] Unknown:
But they're also they also like you said, they knew, first off, that it was a cold like anything else. And they're, you know, like, that's all it is. It's a cold. Don't, you know, don't attribute it to China or anything like that. Remember? And then, like I said, then then they bared down. They wanted all the lockdowns and everything. Now she's writing this cutesy article about how, you know, maybe in, like you said, now we all know it's a cold. At least I would hope most people know that it's just a cold. Uh-huh. Okay. So they've been fooled.
They knew then they were fooled completely to the point where the world was ruined.
[01:24:06] Unknown:
Yeah. And then they want the same people who ruined it to fix it with more of our money.
[01:24:15] Unknown:
Mhmm. That's wild. But I don't understand. How can this person not be just fucking hopping mad that they were fooled into Right. Thinking that it was so bad, but now we all know it's a cold. Right. And and it was a cold the whole time. Yeah. Severe for people with comorbidities, but that's it. You don't close the world down for a few people with comorbidities or old old folks. You protect them, but you don't close the world down for them. I will why are they not just absolutely live it? But no, she's writing a cutesy article. I'm sorry. Continue. This could we could talk about this for several podcasts. Oh, yeah. Because this shit makes me really mad. It's one of the greatest scams that's been pulled during our lifetime.
[01:25:08] Unknown:
It's probably not the greatest scam, but it's one of the greatest scams.
[01:25:14] Unknown:
What is the purpose? Was the purpose can you say that the purpose of this was to prevent one man from being reelected? Or is that just the surface purpose? I don't think that's a surface purpose. That was like a communist manifest. That was a benefit. Right? That was just a benefit. This was
[01:25:33] Unknown:
those people trying to sell us out to communist influenced people out of, say, a country like China, taking money from them,
[01:25:46] Unknown:
you know, selling us stuff. They use their model for how to deal with it. Yeah. Which what American would ever say, yeah, let's do what the Chinese do?
[01:25:55] Unknown:
Jessica a Johnson. We're gonna give you a little bit of advice here if you ever happen to listen to this podcast. Okay? This rag of a paper that wants you to write a puff piece on COVID, real, really honestly, what people are looking for today and they're tuned up like this paper probably ain't selling papers, you know, not like it used to. So like people don't wanna hear the puff piece anymore. You should really write an article on five years later what I learned. You know, but all you this article is just about how this person that was too afraid of it to begin with, looks back on it now like it's something that they actually survived.
Like it was really a thing. Yeah. That it wasn't the cult. Like, we didn't do anything. We didn't, like, come up with a cure for it. Yeah. Imagine being so fake out. Yeah. It's not like laying dead in a parking lot where it's like, dang, girl. You made it out by the skin of your teeth, but you made it this that no. Like, you were fooled. And it I'm guessing it's probably like a younger person's career. So, like, when you're putting this out this early in your career, you can't really have a you can't think about, like, a serious career in journalism. No. Like, listen to Glenn Greenwald. Listen to Daryl Cooper. Like, listen to some real people. This that you're writing, like, none of those people who's coming to the top while this rag is sinking into oblivion. None of those people were ever gonna look at an article like this and take you seriously.
That's a shame. Yeah. She's starting out a career already
[01:27:46] Unknown:
already at the bottom.
[01:27:48] Unknown:
My pastor constantly reminded me that God has not given up given us a spirit of fear. Well, that's exactly what you had.
[01:27:59] Unknown:
Wait. Repeat that. I'm just I'm just The pastor constantly
[01:28:03] Unknown:
reminded me that God has not given us a spirit of fear. Well, what you say afraid of the bird? Yeah. Why did you submit
[01:28:13] Unknown:
completely adoring?
[01:28:15] Unknown:
Why are you calling for people to mask up for the bird flu? Yeah. Leave my worry about yourself. Leave everybody else alone. This should be, yeah, lessons that I've learned from COVID. This just sounds like justification. That's something I'm like No. It's making it's so you don't it's so your worldview
[01:28:32] Unknown:
can you can perpetuate your worldview. You know? She can't she can't sit down and and actually, you know, suss this out in her mind and say, I was completely fooled by this. Right. She can never say that. Right. If she says that, you know, she's gonna spend the rest of her life fucking
[01:28:53] Unknown:
peering behind bathroom stall doors, like, wondering what's going on in there. Sucking a dick down in Uniontown for a good deal on a Hyundai.
[01:29:01] Unknown:
Go on down to Mahoney's Dodge Ram.
[01:29:06] Unknown:
Suck my dick at the yield in, and I'll save you tax.
[01:29:12] Unknown:
How how much more is there? Well, I'm not gonna read any research junk. Touch and touch a little more on
[01:29:17] Unknown:
else she likes. By conducted by Cornell and McMaster University showed that eighty eight percent of call center agents report high or very high stress level. Like, what is this article? How about how about they report on,
[01:29:32] Unknown:
John Hopkins University found that masks did absolutely nothing. Why didn't she mention that? She ain't mentioning that. She's never gonna mention that. How did every how did every box of paper masks said not for not to be used in a in a medical, situation? Like, every fucking Chinese box of masks printed, like I mean, it took me, what, two seconds to get receive a shipment of those at work and go, this is total bullshit. Right. We we were ordering pallets of of hand sanitizer in jugs. Yeah. Like like, you know, in in bleach jugs. Like, we ran out of fucking hand sanitizer bottles or something, like, and people started making it in bulk. The world went absolutely insane. Insane. Insane.
And there We started getting pallets in it, and I'm like, what is wrong with you people? Like, would you please stop? Like, they gave us these things to wear on our wrists at work, to like that would sense when you were within six feet of another person. And they would they would have us download it, like, every week. My boss tried to send me home once because he's like, where's your tracker? And I was like, I don't got it. It's at home. He's like, well, you're gonna go home and get it. And I was like, I don't think so.
And he's like, you're definitely gonna go home and get that. And I was like and I walked down the thing. I was like, yo. Lane. You got an extra one of them things that supposed to track your movement? He's like, yeah. Here you go. You wear this for a day. I was like, here you go, boss. And then I just threw it in a drawer, which we all threw him in a drawer.
[01:31:04] Unknown:
Jessica a Johnson. This article should read five years later reflecting on the pandemic. Everybody did everything wrong. Like on day one of the next thing, it should be worry about yourself, that's it. Don't worry what no one else is doing and just remember that the whole way through. You worry about you do what you wanna do, you worry about yourself, you don't worry about what anybody else is doing. But she knows she's not gonna get anywhere.
[01:31:30] Unknown:
Know. She knows she's never gonna get anywhere writing that. I gotta move on. It's bad. It's sad to see the beginning and the end of somebody's career happening at the same time right in front of your head. In the same article. Like, she could be 60 or 16. It don't matter. It's over. Imagine if she told the truth in that. She'd have endless opportunity. Right. Like, maybe She'd be fired by the Herald Standard where what's she writing for? PBS?
[01:31:50] Unknown:
NPR? No. It's even before she's referencing NPR. Oh, she's a Herald Standard reporter. Well, it's commentary. It says by doctor Jessica a Johnson. And, like, a doctor. A doctor. A doctor's rightness.
[01:32:05] Unknown:
Like, I've seen a lot of doctors make some bad decisions. Doc, you got some better info to put in words
[01:32:11] Unknown:
into the Herald Standard? Maybe, like, some studies?
[01:32:16] Unknown:
Yeah. Maybe some charts that show that any measure that we tried did absolutely nothing that the people who didn't do it or the people that did it, it made no difference in outcome? Yeah. Like, here's a hint, Doctor. Mi Ullchia,
[01:32:29] Unknown:
all the studies on biomechanics found present in certain people with certain lots of vaccines, aluminum oxide, carbon fluorescent nanofibers. You know, aren't you a doctor? Like, there's people publishing this stuff.
[01:32:46] Unknown:
Anyway. Maybe a serious doctor would be reviewing that stuff.
[01:32:49] Unknown:
Community. Here's a front page of community. Let's just
[01:32:56] Unknown:
I wish I wish we had video. Right. You know, some things you you just you have to show. It's just hands holding hands in a circle of every shade you can imagine. Is there pink?
[01:33:08] Unknown:
Well, there's a pink sleeve. It's hard to tell with the and I guess that's it for hyperlocal. You know, there's nothing going on hyperlocal because things stay the same around here. People's doing their thing. If that person wanted to get somewhere, they should've told the truth.
[01:33:27] Unknown:
Well, I guess she's a doctor just making commentary. You know what? Because she did get somewhere because she probably got $37,000 to COVID patient.
[01:33:35] Unknown:
So she made a fucking fortune. That's probably what she that's probably what she learned. You know what? As a doctor too, like, all these people having these heart attacks, I just seen the the lady at the food land that I, you know, go in there. I get cigarettes and stuff from her, some real nice lady that works there. I said, hey. I was hoping you didn't quit. I haven't seen you for a couple days. And then I said, you was here last weekend, but that was it all week. She goes, he had a uncle passed away. I said, how old was he? She goes, 65.
Like, all these, they're all dying. Young. Yeah. He's probably triple boosted, vaxxed. I had,
[01:34:11] Unknown:
I heard a couple of people recently died. They were in their late forties. People I people I knew that I know told me that somebody in their family died late forties or fifties of heart attacks. You see these you see that, at the gas station? I was pumping gas. I turned around, and on the tell on the little screen at the gas station, you know, that's usually yelling in your ear at three in the morning Yeah. It has a thing on there. It's a public service announcement to learn CPRs so that you can perform it on a child Oh, yeah. You know, who who could have a heart incident while playing on the field. Like, why are they prepping people for that? I heard about this somewhere else. I think you maybe you guys Yeah. We mentioned it on Yeah. We did. It was it it you're totally taken aback because they're just trying to get people used to the idea that children have heart attacks. Well, around here, that's all like
[01:35:07] Unknown:
I don't know what you call it, like left wing money or whatever. Like all those signs that say, like living with HIV, you can get help. Like, there's a bunch of billboards for HIV. There's a bunch of them for clean nitrogen. Like last year, they put up a clean nitrogen sign in Munecin, and I'm like, who the fuck around here cares about clean nitrogen? What is clean nitrogen? I don't know. Green nitrogen.
[01:35:32] Unknown:
Nitrogen is is one of the
[01:35:34] Unknown:
This advertisement has, like, a cartoon character looks like Pac Man, but, like, in three d. Mhmm. Like, it it looks like somebody took about fifteen minutes to design this billboard, and it says, like, green nitrogen, the next great investment. And it's got this little, like, green character given, like, the thumbs up or something.
[01:35:56] Unknown:
And then maybe, like, some dollar bills in the background, and that's it. Who are they advertising to? I have no idea. Izzy, do you think it's the residents of Fayette and Washington?
[01:36:04] Unknown:
It's got to be West 1 of the counties like It's got to be some kind of scam, like DNC money that would, like, have to be used for billboards, but then, like, for all twelve months, not just election season? You know what I'm saying? Like, why why is this, like, propaganda up on it? The cat's bumping the mics. Yeah. There's an adorable cat on my lap here, so it's okay, everyone.
[01:36:33] Unknown:
You get someone in Paris and the microphone? Here. Yeah, this normalization of HIV on billboards is another thing that I've been questioning for quite a few years. Like how many people out there are going to have HIV shortly? Oh, they're getting it. It's from the vaccine too. Yeah. Do another study. They found that one of the main components of it was like the same, I guess it would be, what is it, like the transfer mechanism that they use for it to interact with the cell was taken from HIV.
[01:37:08] Unknown:
HIV and urged with SARS. Yeah.
[01:37:11] Unknown:
It said that you could see But, this isn't a conspiracy theory. This is what people are finding out and putting studies out on right now that nobody's hearing about. Well, I think that was out like the first two months later.
[01:37:21] Unknown:
Well, that was out right away. It was out right away. It had disappeared. Yeah. But now they're talking about it again. Remember the Chinese guy that they grabbed at Boston Logan Airport that was smuggling, quote, genetic material attempting to struggle smuggle genetic material out of the country? Yes. I remember that. Whatever happened with that.
[01:37:39] Unknown:
I don't know. Maybe Jessica Johnson needs a pickup
[01:37:43] Unknown:
where that one left off. Deep dive. I mean, she's a scam. You know it? Yeah. We you can we could put you know, those people aren't real. No. You can go online and put in her name and see where she's a doctor at. She's probably
[01:37:55] Unknown:
I looked up a lot of these people. They all fit they all have fake Facebook accounts. All of them. Zach Petrov, all of them. Like Yeah. It's like the most generic Facebook accounts. Like, some dude standing next to some blonde girl at a tree in a park, and there's like two of those photos, then something like, hey, we visited, you know, this one. And then the accounts just complete like, news articles and stuff after that, you know? Well, it's it's straight doomed. And they're all like that. What's straight what's straight doomed?
[01:38:30] Unknown:
This. The whole thing. The paper. The paper. Yeah.
[01:38:34] Unknown:
It's all going to be a bear in trouble. Well, this this isn't owned by anywhere in Uniontown. This is owned by a Philadelphia paper. Yeah, probably like Sinclair Group or something stupid. They print it and send it to the county. Yeah.
[01:38:47] Unknown:
Like, it's junk. That's why there's nothing really local in it. Like, there's an article about Shapiro. Who cares? Steelers. Great. Who cares? Moving on. But when it's a. I. Baron Trump,
[01:38:59] Unknown:
what's that? Oh, well, it's Washington Rotary, talk about, Ukrainians talk about devastation in their country, and you got their yellow and blue flag. Of course, you have to have this in the paper, right? Have to have this.
[01:39:13] Unknown:
What does someone who lives in Fayette Fucking County care about Ukraine? And if you do, if you care more about Ukraine than the guy who's getting laid off down at Clarendon Works, you've got fucking problems. Mhmm. That's like some psychopathy, like ignoring the things that are obvious around you while other you know, to die on some that's like cult.
[01:39:43] Unknown:
Yeah. A pointless hill
[01:39:44] Unknown:
to die on. Like, why put all your energy into that whenever you could be putting in it too? Yeah. Go up there and get yourself a checkered shirt. Start making furniture if you wanna be in a cult.
[01:39:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Call back.
[01:40:00] Unknown:
What do you think about that AI Baron Trump? Well, I don't know. I didn't see it. I don't know. I sent it to Little Dracula. I don't think I sent it to you. Didn't see it. Can I play it for you real quick? Here. Send it to me. I'll play it. I can just play in the microphone. No. Send it to me. I'll play it. Okay.
[01:40:15] Unknown:
Yeah. Let me play this one. And then we gotta plug Maloney's.
[01:40:19] Unknown:
Maloney's the best restaurant probably in Uniontown. If you want a meal that doesn't suck, go to Maloney's. They got a guy out in the parking lot. Make sure that you don't get assaulted by an illegal immigrant or a methadone addict, and, they make sure that you're going to eat there when you park there. So you can go in, but you go to the restaurant, you get to actually park there, feel safe walking in, get yourself a meal, an actual meal, and get good service. I've never had bad service at Maloney's. I've never had a bad meal at Maloney. Do they still employ, like, several really good waitresses there that come to your table every ten seconds and I feel like the lady working there is a lady working there since I was a kid. Yeah. The Maloneys is doing it right.
[01:41:07] Unknown:
Do do they still have the condiments and everything on the table? Or did they remove that? I don't know. Only bring you when you ask for it, which is another thing I really hate about what COVID did.
[01:41:18] Unknown:
I don't know. I don't know. I also wanna say that Malone's was open pretty early too. I don't know that for a fact, but let's just say that they did because they're a good restaurant. I don't know. Give them the credit. I tell you what,
[01:41:32] Unknown:
old bootleggers, that place kept me alive during COVID. You like bootleggers? Dude, they kept me alive during COVID. You wanna talk about a cool place? They, like, blacked out the windows and shit. It was great.
[01:41:42] Unknown:
Vinnie's is open for business. I know. If Babs listened, Vinnie's open for business.
[01:41:47] Unknown:
I've seen there was people all around it today. They opened Tuesday. I am gonna stop, but I ain't gonna do They opened Tuesday, and the sun was out. It was 80 degrees. They were it was the line was all the way out into the parking lot. Really? Oh, yeah. Well I thought I was gonna see you, actually.
[01:42:00] Unknown:
Well, we'll plug Vinnies on the next one. Dude. Vinnies.
[01:42:04] Unknown:
I don't wanna tell too many people because it'll get busier. Dude, so many good things on this side of town. I love living over here. Yeah.
[01:42:12] Unknown:
Alright. You ready? Yeah. Go ahead. Play it. That's Eric. Yeah. I'm Aaron Traum right there. There
[01:42:24] Unknown:
is misleading where it says, search results for Barron Trump,
[01:42:31] Unknown:
sayings about his dad. Yeah. So that's not real. That was a robot that was singing.
[01:42:38] Unknown:
Robot. That is Barron Trump's image. That's for sure. Yeah. That's right. So But your music music.
[01:42:47] Unknown:
Dude, so the point of this whole thing, John, is that pretty soon, boomers will be old enough to when they go to that search bar and they put whatever in there, if it don't, like, AI is gonna make it for you. I know. You know? So pretty soon, there is no Herald standard. It's just whatever you want. You just put it in that search bar, and it'll just start streaming it to your eyeballs. It'll,
[01:43:11] Unknown:
it'll reinforce your worldview. Oh. So whenever now see, I was on to this. Hit that light. You're like the you're like the only other person besides me who wants the light off during the podcast. Like, I want it like this whenever we talk. This is nice with the fire going. Yeah. So early on in the in the during this pandemic, probably around, like, '21, I was you like the kitty? Yeah. I was, I was noticing that people were making more of this AI stuff, and I'm talking, like, early, like, bad AI. Like like, where you knew that it was fake. I mean, I can still spot it, and I hope most young people can't, but this was, like, bad AI. You know? Voices that sounded a little bit like who they were trying to Yeah. It was down there. And videos that you they almost like the jib jab videos where, like, it'd just be like, you know, and they would be, you know, look like South Park characters.
But, so I thought started thinking at that time, I thought, every everybody's talking about how now, this is even before the deep fakes thing. Like, this is a couple years before the deep fakes talks, you know. And I knew at this moment that everybody was gonna be thinking that they were gonna be making deep fakes of people to try to say that they said something or, you know, because it started out as jokes. Like, you would make a funny video of, like, the president cussing as it got better, you know, and people thought that was funny. So, I started thinking people aren't gonna use this for making deepfakes. What these what people are going to do is they're going to it's going to be an excuse for everything every what you know, because when you know, the Internet allows us to have, and YouTube allows us to have a complete record of all the dumb shit our politicians do and say. And so, you can recall it at any moment. Yeah. You know, now, which is what is great. You can say, Well, this guy was saying this ten years ago. Here's a video of him. Uh-huh. And now, he's clearly lying Yeah. About what he said. And you're Yeah, it invalidates all film. So I thought this isn't gonna be for deepfaking. This was gonna be so people could just say, well, that's fake. Right? Like, that was me. That's clearly AI 10 me fifteen years ago. Yeah. Saying this.
And that started happening about a year or two ago. I started seeing politicians when people would play a video of them, you know, like on a podcast or a video show, you know, where they're like, oh, clearly they're like, well, that's clearly AI. Yeah. And I knew at that moment that that's what it was gonna be used for at that point. It's almost like it was created to to allow people to,
[01:46:03] Unknown:
you know, make people forget. Yeah. No. So you did the Hillary Clinton snuff film, ain't right.
[01:46:09] Unknown:
Yeah. And that's what it will be used for. Like, of course, you can make up your own videos and everything and change you know, you can like like we were saying with these people, you just punch whatever you want into Google and it'll reinforce your worldview. But,
[01:46:24] Unknown:
I think it's just gonna be used to unmake history. No. I heard that like six years ago or something. Somebody's saying that there exists a film of that person maybe killing a kid. So it, like, makes sense. It'll come out just in time. They're gonna release all the Epstein stuff in the laptop, and then before you know it, there's gonna be a snuff film, and people's going to Right. It's like everything's coming to a head. That's a wild conspiracy theory. To come up with something to negate all that. Yeah. So, the AI is perfect. Just the time. Like, I think that, like, there's a pause on releasing some of that stuff right now. And I think because it has to do with that. Oh, yeah. Like, where's that person been for a while? Real quiet. Real quiet. Just hiding out in the background. No public appearance. No nothing.
[01:47:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I think we're on to something here. Keep an eye out for it. Dude, 2025.
[01:47:16] Unknown:
You heard it. You heard it here first. Film. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, man.
[01:47:25] Unknown:
It is wild, man. Strange times. Yeah. I'm glad that I don't rely on I'm glad that, like, I'm not just completely dependent on technology. Well, I guess, it's, you know, that's pretty much all you got at this point. It's like, yeah. You can use it if you need to, but you don't need it.
[01:47:41] Unknown:
The rest of these people seem to need it. Was you ever afraid like it would pass you by and you'd get out of touch with it? No.
[01:47:48] Unknown:
Not really. There is, there was times early on in my life when I was rolling to computers, and I was I was pretty good at it, you know, and I could I could stay up on all the latest things, and I knew and then one day, I was just like, this is too much. I'm done. And I didn't have any regrets about saying goodbye. Uh-huh. No. And I regret it sometimes when I need to, like, I needed to sort of upgrade some of this recording stuff recently, and I struggled and struggled. But other than that, I don't care. Yeah. I don't care if it passes me by. I mean, I'm 44, dude.
I got a wood burner. Well, that's true. Yeah. You know, I don't technology, I don't need it much anymore. I mean, I I wish I knew it so I could teach my kid,
[01:48:29] Unknown:
but there's not that much new technology.
[01:48:32] Unknown:
No. It's a bunch of broke ass shit. It's all it's all garbage. I mean, if they would release things that worked the moment they they hit the scene
[01:48:40] Unknown:
Man, everything's on the cloud too. Yeah. Like, you can't even make an AutoCAD file now on your laptop. You gotta do it on the cloud so you don't know exactly what you're making. Really? Mhmm. I see that's yeah. Autodesk don't work no more. Autodesk used to have a free version like a bottle cap modeling that they used to yeah. Like, I don't know. It was called DaVinci or something stupid like Yeah. And, they ended it. It's all cloud now. If you can't touch the cloud, you can't access a drawing. That's horrible. Yeah. Them young kids are getting on Linux, though.
Like, where you can GitHub yourself some free source stuff off the Internet. Yeah. It is amazing, dude. Like, you and they're known how to use terminal, you know, to to just get on and just yep. So you do get get this like, it's amazing. You just say get and get this program and it goes and gets into the pro like, they're gonna learn a different man. Them young kids that grow up with computers learn in Linux today, they'll be able to do shit like a different class of society that the rest of it. Oh, I know. Like, consumer
[01:49:44] Unknown:
computer people won't know how to do any of that. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know. But the thing is, is one day we're going to be getting killed by
[01:49:52] Unknown:
a kid who has a Xbox controller in his hand. Yeah. You know? But that's like a trade now. Yeah. Like computer using a computer from terminal, that will be a trade in the future. Like, how do I get it to a root directory? How do I download a program? How do I install you know, that I mean, boomers forget about it.
[01:50:13] Unknown:
Our generation, we mostly don't care too much. Yeah. Dude, my brother-in-law can do that shit. He knows, like, the old school stuff.
[01:50:20] Unknown:
Yeah.
[01:50:21] Unknown:
Yeah. Like, he if he had to, he could he could return to that in a moment and and do that. He would have no issue. I don't think he would even miss a beat. Trisha maybe too. I'm sorry. Jezebel. Jezebel too. No. I think she could do it too. She knew all that stuff she grew up with. Yeah. You know, Calico, whatever, first computer, you know, learned to program in those old codes. You could tell she's real smart. I mean, I could tell she's smart. It's ridiculous. It scares me. Yeah. Actually, like I sometimes I think she's a spook. Like, it's right in her name. CIA, Trisha.
[01:50:59] Unknown:
I think it is for sure. I think she is. I don't that don't matter. I think she's my handler. I think so too. I think she's supposed to be watching you.
[01:51:09] Unknown:

[01:51:21] Unknown:
don't slip up. She, like, looks interested whenever I talk. Yeah. You know? Which I so I so she's clearly
[01:51:29] Unknown:
keeping an eye on me. That night, we went down to Bahama Breeze or whatever. Like, sometimes you look at her in the eye when you're talking and she, like, beams in to, like, take a deep listen. Oh, I know. And it's like she's real interest. She's really paying attention hardcore. Yeah. Like, at more than just the words that are coming out of your mouth.
[01:51:48] Unknown:
She never gets drunk. Like, I'll see her drink Uh-huh. And drink and drink, and she never gets drunk. And then, like, I noticed when I'm at the bar, I'll be just ranting about something. Like, I'll just be, like, you know, talking about Ukraine or whatever. And she's just, like, listening intently, like and I'm like, who would listen to me? Like you know? And I think later, I'm like, I'm a drunk idiot ranting at somebody, and she, like, just looks happy to be listening to me. I don't know. There's something going on. Yeah.
[01:52:17] Unknown:
Man, I do a lot of rant too. Oh, I bet. It's
[01:52:22] Unknown:
yeah. I bet you Jezebel does some rant in a row.
[01:52:26] Unknown:
I think I I appreciate the fact that that person learns to listen to those rants.
[01:52:33] Unknown:
It is pretty cool. It is nice that they listen.
[01:52:38] Unknown:
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. When these people against Doge shutting down fraud and abuse stuff, and they're like, oh, she's gonna shut down hungry people, and the president came out and like six times was like, I'm not shutting down any services that go directly to the people. I'm shutting down $28,000,000 to produce a Trans Sesame Street or whatever.
[01:53:05] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Or, you know, dollars 20,000,000 to put billboards all over Southwestern Fayette County to normalize HIV and green nitrogen. Where the fuck that is? Like, that's where that money goes. They're just prepping people for what they're gonna do.
[01:53:22] Unknown:
Then they came out. They're like, Elon Musk is a dictator. He's making us write these emails. Elon Musk comes out, and he's like, well, we're trying to figure out who on the payroll like, is this actually an employee or is this a person that doesn't work here anymore that somebody just didn't take their name off the books? Well, like, a real easy way to figure that out is to get them to email you. Yeah. Then they know you're a live person. Yeah.
[01:53:45] Unknown:
Yeah. My company has people,
[01:53:49] Unknown:
that don't work there still on the email list. It's a perfect way to figure out whether they still work there. But that is all that that was about. Yeah. You know? And these people, like, overreacted to it all crazy full of fear, like Jessica. Yeah. Oh my God, he's making me feel like I'm a slave to the system. But, you are a slave to the system. Like, you should accept that and move on. Yeah. Part of your job is to get on that email and reply back what you've done. Yeah. Like, when boss yells get back at the fucking computer, you get back at the fucking computer. Like, where do you think you are?
[01:54:22] Unknown:
I forget that. You just log on at eight and you go fucking log off at Fortislave. Like, what the fuck do you think you are? I I guess I forget that work and where I work because people tell me what to do, and I'm like, several months ago, six months ago, you know, we get emails constantly. Emails piling up. Phew. Like, six months ago, I logged onto my computer. I hit fucking control a in my email program, selected every email I have, fucking hit delete. Like, I was just like, fuck this. And then, and, people will be asking me for shit. I'll be like, I don't have an email anymore. And they'll be like, what do you mean you don't have an email? And we're like, I just deleted them all. And then they'd say, what do you mean you deleted all your emails? I'm like, yeah. Just one day, I just got there were too many.
So then I made none, and then I started over. And then I did it again, like, a week later when I had too many. I was just like, whatever. I said goodbye. Nothing changed. People kept if somebody really wants something,
[01:55:15] Unknown:
they'll email you. Well, the email's junk now. It's just full of junk and advertisements, and nobody uses it no more. It's all garbage. I haven't used No. No. The thing about
[01:55:24] Unknown:
I used to try I used to try to use my email program to track things that like, track information that I needed to complete a job. Not complete, but do. Like, so if an engineer emailed me back and told me, like, how to do something, I would save that under whatever whatever company name or, you know, piece of equipment that I had to work on. So I was trying to save that. Well, I figured out, like, a couple maybe a year into where I worked that they only are they don't archive emails more than three months. So, like, all that information I was saving was like just getting deleted.
So, I was just like, fuck it. I was like, whatever. I said, I'm not even going to try. Like, I can't even track this stuff. And they're like, what's company policy? We only keep it for three months, so you have to archive it yourself. I'm like, Nah. They keep it on their end for a lot longer than three months, John. They keep it for a lot longer than three months. Oh, I know they do. But, like, if I ask them They're just telling you that you can't have it at three months. Yeah, of course. But, the thing is, it just makes my job harder to not have it. So, why do they do that? Why don't they just allow me to keep my emails forever? You know, every It's like it's they're trying to keep you in a constant state of anxiety.
Yes. Like obituaries.
[01:56:40] Unknown:

You think so? I mean, do you want to get to the point where somebody is, where you're burdening another human being with your existence?

Nathaniel Alexander Romasberg, Uniontown. Nathaniel Alexander Romasberg died Saturday, 03/08/2025 in Uniontown. He was born 12/03/1996, son of Mary Williams Howard and Gary a Romesburg. That guy was young. Yeah. 96. Heart attack, probably.
[02:06:52] Unknown:
Man. Poor guy. 96. Yeah. How many are there?
[02:07:03] Unknown:
Is that it? That was it. Okay. Good. Yeah. It's a daily paper, so they they don't put a lot and then and then I think Sunday, they do a conglomerate of all the weeks. Are some of them bigger than other ones? Yeah. Some, no. They just have ads and stuff in them some days. But Sunday,
[02:07:22] Unknown:
I think they do all the obituaries on Sunday. I was gonna say maybe just read the big ones because they had more important people or something, you know? Yeah. They're bucking up the dough for the big obituaries. That was all of them. I think they get most of their funding through obituaries too. Okay. That's it. Well, that's a really disappointing paper. I mean.
[02:07:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Occasionally, you get some good stuff in it, though. I I mean, I don't know why they don't do more. I guess it's just easy to put that crap out. There's some kind of bug on me. What is that? It could be anything, dude.
[02:07:58] Unknown:
That was probably a stink bug or something. Yeah, you're living that. I mean, I see where you're at. Well, I had one on me earlier today, too. Yeah. Hey, you know it's a blood moon tonight. Is it? Well, we probably missed it. No. It don't happen till late. Well, I think at midnight tonight, the moon will be up, but then it's a lunar eclipse in the morning, so the veil is real thin. No. Shit. Yeah. Spring, baby. The veil gets thin. Bunch of weird energy around. Some crazy things could happen. Yeah. How's the 10:00 already? Is it? Yeah.
[02:08:35] Unknown:
You wanna call it a night? Well, maybe we should wrap it up. That's a long time. I gotta edit that shit.
[02:08:44] Unknown:
Well, is there any world news you wanna cover? No. We'll talk about it another time. Alright.
[02:08:55] Unknown:
I like how we brought a, we had a, we had a clip on the podcast tonight. Yeah. That's good. I said I could do this. I could keep some for you. See, it's good because we wear the headphones. We can do that. Yeah. We'll get those other guys on board. Yeah. Yeah. I got more headphones too.
[02:09:10] Unknown:
The only thing other thing I was gonna ask you about before we wrap up was, when we was on vacation, we had talked about that theory that everything is amazing, and that the point of it is is that to you, it will just keep getting more crazy and amazing until it's the end. And I didn't know if you had thought about that anymore. I haven't. We kinda talked about it again. I hadn't. But weren't you talking about this the other day, or was I talking about this with someone else? No. You and I talked about it on vacation, and we talked about it the other day. Mhmm. And then also I asked you what you thought was worse, like a genocide or being responsible for making the people forget? I was gonna bring those two things up to you tonight. What, what do you what do you mean by the second thing? Being responsible for making the people forget? The second thing, like, what do you what do you think is worse?
Like, if you were a person in history that, like, slaughtered all these other people, right? So say you slaughtered a million people. Okay. But what if instead you, you know, contributed to some type of forgetting? Like, oh, we're going to industrialize food so that people over time, like forget how to make food. You You know what I mean? Then you could be responsible for the deaths of like millions of people. What do I think is worse? Oh,
[02:10:41] Unknown:
I'd say the second.
[02:10:43] Unknown:
But that happens after the fact. It's a lot more underhanded.
[02:10:48] Unknown:
And I'd say genocide's more honest. Like, if you guarantee like, let's say you guarantee killing a million people with a genocide, but you're doing something underhanded to kill generations, many more millions, you know, secretively. And upfront, it looked like you were doing humanity a favor. I think that's worse than just being upfront. It's like being it's like being robbed by your government for taxes or being robbed on the, on the street by a criminal. The criminal is much more honest. He's sticking you out in your face and he's saying give me your money. Mhmm. The government's pretending like they're doing something for you.
[02:11:33] Unknown:
But then it's like Franz Hopper or whatever. I think you guys have mentioned him once at the beginning here, the one that invented fertilizer. Like really, if it wasn't for him, people would still know how to grow food better. Mhmm. Right. Because he gave you convenience in a bag. True. So, like, who was worse? Like him or Hitler?
[02:11:56] Unknown:
Well, what that guy does, he's wrong because he you're talking about industrial fertilizer. Mhmm. This man is wrong. He's wrong off the bat because what he's doing is he's making a change to the way humanity develops Yeah. Without knowing all the variables and how the variables are going to be affected. So, just because you invent something like industrial fertilizer, what are the bad things that instantly come from that? Zyklon B came from that. Okay. So, you have negative side effects. What's the number? What's one of the really bad things that comes from that? Suddenly, there's more people.
Yeah. And you can feed them. That's what I'm saying. It's a long term. So, that's not good. Yeah. That's an unexpected consequence of inventing fertilizer. If you had not invented fertilizer, not only will you not have things like poisons in your, you know, I'm not saying they're all poison, but I'm saying industrial fertilizer is obviously going to cause runoff, it's going to cause problems elsewhere, things that you just can't conceive of. But the number one bad thing it did was it allowed humans to multiply.
Because food became easier to to grow and you could feed more people. What came what good came from feeding more people? I mean, I'm not saying I don't like humanity. I love people. There should be as many as you can support, but don't support them artificially through fertilizer.
[02:13:29] Unknown:
What about like if you're the person that decided we're going to shut down vocational studies? Like, we don't want people to know how to work on their own car. I think that that's that's
[02:13:42] Unknown:
like a worse criminal. That is a that's a bad criminal. Like, that is
[02:13:47] Unknown:
but really, like, if you sat like, say tomorrow, they started the ministry of truth, and you sat, like, on that censorship board and you said, I think we should scrub all these stories from the media. You know what I mean? Who's the worst criminal? That person. Like like, we go to war and a half a million people die, But the guy doing a genocide kills a million people up front, but also contributes to the system that just keeps getting people. You know what I mean? Yeah.
[02:14:19] Unknown:
I'd say who's worse? I see your clear to me. These are clear answers. I think it's worse when you do the, the underhanded thing, like the thing that involves secrecy. Yeah. And, you know, yeah, you're going to kill more people, but
[02:14:34] Unknown:
it's almost like
[02:14:35] Unknown:
a war between it's like the way people wage war now versus the way they used to wage war. War used to be honest. You attack your neighboring tribe, go in, you'd Yeah. Genetic. You would do war for resources and prizes. Women, gold, whatever. Yeah. You know? It was an honest war. Yeah. It was terrible and probably brutal and bloody. But what's worse, that or World War one? You know? They killed it was probably much bloodier and horrible and changed the way war was fought. Like, it's like that. World War one is way worse. And you'd say we're we're civilized now? We're not civilized. Look how bad war is compared to the way it used to be. Gulf Of Tonkin.
[02:15:23] Unknown:
That's that's fucking, like, that's the worst thing you can do. Yeah. It was totally made up. Yeah. It's totally made up. So that's making the people forget, though. Like, we talk about all this outrage, this guy's killing these people, this guy's killing these people, or whatever, but no one seems to mind that obvious truth.
[02:15:41] Unknown:
Yeah. But, like, if if you were just saying to Washington
[02:15:44] Unknown:
and you had two traitors against the wall, this guy killed 10 of your people, and this guy's lying.
[02:15:50] Unknown:
You know what I mean? Covering up the truth. Which one do you wanna get rid of first? Lying's always the worst. I know. But it's it's the same thing. Like, you catch your kid doing something. If they lie to you, you get fucking mad. Yeah. Because, you know, but if they would just if they would just be like, yeah. I did it. You'd be like, okay. It's the same thing. You you the guy who killed 10 people, you know, not honestly, but let's say, you know, he didn't he's not lying and and doing this these things in secret and being a traitor and potentially getting more people killed in the future through his deceit.
Clearly the worst person. You think? Yeah. Clearly. Clearly. To me, it's no it's no Yeah. There's, this is easy.
[02:16:40] Unknown:
I think, like, Bin categorizes people. Like that type of moral dilemma. Yeah. Because if you ask somebody who's a fearful person, they'll immediately say upfront, Well, Hitler, for sure. If I had to pick, if I had a gun and a single bullet and I had these two people against the wall, this is the one I would choose, you know?
[02:17:02] Unknown:
Mao or Hitler, let's say. Oh. Which is worse? I think it's clear. Yeah. It's Mao.
[02:17:14] Unknown:
There's a lot of that outrage in people like you or me because we're not really afraid of the first thing. Yeah. Like, we talk about things and we're like, somebody comes rolling down the street wearing a wrong color hat or whatever. I don't know. It ain't gonna make no difference to me. I'm good on my own. But there's a lot to say about, like, you wanna go into a store and buy fucking milk for your family, and you don't have your fucking mask on, and they kick you out the store, you got a baby crying at home, like, that really fucking pisses you off. Yeah. Like that boot licking scoundrel. That that's that's unforgivable.
[02:17:50] Unknown:
I will never. I will never forget what these people have done. Those types of things. Yeah. Like, I see people today that all I do is see red when I see them because of the way they were during the scandemic.
[02:18:05] Unknown:
Like, I just see red. I can't forgive you. I'm sorry. But that's that is turning back. That's that is more like what is I feel like behind this movement that's happening right now. I feel like that's a large part of it. Like, the people sick of it, they're over it, and they're not doing that fucking game no more. Like, you cannot be a pregnant dude, and we're not gonna use that emoji thing. You know what I mean? Like, we're not gonna be told what reality is anymore. Like, you had a turn at it and people sick of it and they went out and they, you know, they voted like crazy for it.
What was it? 29 districts was overturned and seven swing states all won by him or whatever it was? Yeah. All of them. Like, black people, Hispanic people, white people, like the class that was being discriminated against, like the white middle aged worker, like, they all went out and unanimously were like, nah, we're not doing that fucking shit no more. Like, end all this. Pushed too far. Pushed too far. The people who wouldn't care one way or the other suddenly
[02:19:17] Unknown:
mobilized and said, you pushed too far. Yeah.
[02:19:20] Unknown:
And people like you and me feel like that, like pushed too far. So, it, like, kind of changes a generation, but solidifies a movement. Like, MAG is a much more solidified movement now. Yeah. Oh, you definitely saw it. Well, because it went in and he started flipping desks. Yeah. That's exactly what people wanted.
[02:19:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Let's just hope you can do this. Rose
[02:19:44] Unknown:
of despair, where the dollar stores and Walgreens lie in the empty squares. Gas station gamblers scurry from Jamonville's light as these distilled spirits warm us for the coming night. Even if the blessed days are fading in the rearview, we'll find the pain. We're still here, still fighting. Our strength still remains. Good morning, Vietnam. Let's get started.
