#154: White House Correspondence Dinner Manifesto / Civil War Between Empire & Homeland

#154: White House Correspondence Dinner Manifesto / Civil War Between Empire & Homeland

Thoughts on the White House Correspondence Dinner Manifesto, what’s driving the vi*lence, and how economic strain can lead to moral regression.

1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,000
Welcome to another episode of
Come Together.

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,360
What's up everyone, we are back
for another solo episode.

3
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,600
I can't believe it's already
been 5 episodes since my last

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,960
solo one, but cheers.
And it's been a lot of fun.

5
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,960
It's been an amazing week, week
and a half.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
It's been truly, truly nuts.
And I wanted to talk about some

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,880
things, including obviously some
breaking news over the weekend

8
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,680
and a lot of, you know,
President Trump getting there

9
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,640
was a shooter rather at the
White House correspondents

10
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,520
dinner.
And he wasn't actually, I don't

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,320
think ever, I don't think he
made it to try to get it to

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Trump, but obviously he was
there for that.

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,000
And actually as of just a couple
of minutes ago, it's 2:45 on

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,040
April 26th and Sunday afternoon,
just a couple of minutes ago, I

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,600
the manifesto of the shooter or
the attempted shooter, I think

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,320
he shot, he tried to shoot one
person.

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:21,760
He shot one person rather once,
one guard, Secret Service

18
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,720
member, That's the word.
And yeah, but the guy's fine.

19
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,960
He got shot in the chest, who's
wearing a full of a bulletproof

20
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800
vest, thank God.
And I think that was it.

21
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,000
And the guy has been killed.
I don't even think that he was

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,040
expecting this to be a suicide
mission as far as this manifesto

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,920
goes.
But it's also really interesting

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,600
and important to note that the
manifesto is only being released

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,160
in part at the moment, as
according to the New York Post

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,320
two hours ago.
And I want to read it and maybe

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,960
talk about it a little bit, or
at least kind of just.

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,200
I think this is.
Really interesting because his

29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,640
manifesto felt like it wasn't
written by someone that was

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,960
haunted by, you know, a chemical
imbalance in their brain.

31
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,640
Doesn't sound like someone who
is on hormone blockers or is

32
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,560
particularly unstable or unwell.
And this seems to be pretty

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,480
thought out and pretty
intentional.

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,160
And it feels a little bit more
like the Luigi mangion guy, a

35
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,400
little bit more down his lane
than say some kind of mass

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,040
shooter or some kind of even the
kid that the kid that shot that,

37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,400
that that tried to shoot Trump
or that hit his ear in Butler,

38
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,680
that didn't feel like the same
thing.

39
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,640
And maybe it's because of the
fact that there actually is a

40
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,880
manifesto and because of the
fact that we can get an insight

41
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,320
into this guy's head.
His name is the alleged, the

42
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,320
alleged gunman's name is Cole
Allen.

43
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,360
And there's some crazy.
Some.

44
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,560
Crazy stuff on on X about an
account two years ago that just

45
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,280
tweeted his name.
Just tweeted the name Cole Allen

46
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,160
and like and that was it.
And I don't think that tweet

47
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,160
like was it had ever given, had
ever been given any context.

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,120
But that also doesn't
necessarily mean anything.

49
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,960
Again, anything in a vacuum,
kind of anything in a vacuum

50
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,760
could be portrayed or twisted
however you want it to be.

51
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,480
Just like I saw yesterday that
Caroline Lovett said before,

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,680
maybe an hour before the actual
event happened for the incident,

53
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,240
that that, that, you know, she
goes, it's going to be a typical

54
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Trump speech.
There's going to be comedy.

55
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,120
There's going to be great bits.
There'll be shots fired.

56
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,440
And like, everyone on Twitter
immediately went nuts.

57
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Like no.
Are you kidding?

58
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,880
She's in on it.
But.

59
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Come on man, just twist the
words in my opinion.

60
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,800
I feel like that's something you
could apply Occam's Razor to.

61
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Let's let's read this for a
second.

62
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,560
Hello everybody.
So I have.

63
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,920
So I may have given a lot of
people a surprise.

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,120
Today let me.
Start off by apologizing.

65
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200
To everyone whose whose trust I
abuse.

66
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,279
On to why I did any of this I.
Am a citizen of the United

67
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,519
States of America.
What my representatives do

68
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,600
reflects on me and I'm no longer
willing to permit PETA.

69
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Whatever rape, whatever is
right, I guess.

70
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:29,520
Rape is already said the word
and traitor.

71
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,640
I hope YouTube doesn't take me
down and traitor to coat my

72
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,840
hands with his crimes.
So this is obviously very

73
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:45,000
politically motivated.
Obviously this gentleman, this

74
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:55,400
person, this teacher, I think
actually is, you know, obviously

75
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,480
I think he feels a lot of.
What the whole?

76
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,680
Of a lot, a lot of the country
that can't say anything feel I,

77
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,280
I, I really believe that's true.
I don't think that I think that

78
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:11,480
it's very clear based on how
unpopular Trump's become just a

79
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,880
year and a half after his
presidency.

80
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,560
And apparently, by the way, this
isn't just Trump.

81
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,440
I want to make that clear.
I'm actually reading this

82
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,240
awesome book called Unstable
majorities continue by Morris

83
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,280
Fiona Fiorina.
Excuse me.

84
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,480
And, and this gentleman makes a
really interesting point that

85
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,320
it's extremely uncommon, at
least in the last 20-30 years or

86
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,560
maybe more 4050 years to, for a
president to kind of make these

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,680
promises that they can't really
live up to.

88
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,120
And a couple of years, you know,
and, and even despite whatever

89
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,600
popularity they had going into
the presidency, by the midterm,

90
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,960
people are usually pretty
disillusioned.

91
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,440
And obviously this seems to
really strongly be the case over

92
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,160
here.
But this obviously I think is

93
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,600
another step up because this
isn't something say this isn't

94
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,560
something that we're saying is
like, Hey, you know, how how

95
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,480
come you bailed out the banks,
which was really a bad enough

96
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,200
thing as it is, and that there
were no arrests.

97
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,640
It's not as bad as a 20 year
Middle Eastern war for really no

98
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
stated reason, even though it's
pretty bad.

99
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,880
But I mean, we're talking about
like, I mean, the, the, I think

100
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:30,120
the Epstein thing is too big to
be pushed under the rug.

101
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,560
And whether or not it's being
temporarily kicked down the

102
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,200
kicked down the even though the
cans being kicked down the road

103
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,400
a little bit with the Iranian
war, I think that enough, I

104
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,720
think that the same forces that
swung the election towards Trump

105
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,040
this past election, the same
forces are going to absolutely

106
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,400
crush the administration and in
administrations to come.

107
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,400
I think that the voice is, I
think the voices on the Internet

108
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,440
are so loud.
And I think that events like

109
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:09,040
this reinforce that.
And listen, you know.

110
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,400
I keep on, I keep on thinking.
This every couple of weeks,

111
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,160
every every month or two.
But I just think about how many

112
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,880
of these really significant
events, the missing scientists,

113
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,560
the Epstein list, Trump's.
So this is Trump's third

114
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,040
assassination.
You know, third would be

115
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,840
assassin.
This is like a.

116
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Crazy historic time.
I mean, this is this time period

117
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000
and, and we, we've kind of the
only reason I think that we're

118
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,200
really able to process.
We don't even process it.

119
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240
I think that things are just so
hard for so many people on a

120
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,640
regular basis and people are so
busy with their day-to-day lives

121
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,680
and lives are getting harder and
harder to live year after year

122
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,640
that people are so focused on
being, you know, on, on just

123
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,000
trying to keep their head above
water that they don't really

124
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,200
have time or effort until they
kind of snap.

125
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,360
And when you do snap this, you
know, I mean, we have, we have 3

126
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,880
assassination attempts.
I mean, this is it's nuts, but

127
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,120
there's been very little
response from any of the

128
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,240
representation of the people,
anyone that was, you know, that

129
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240
any accountability for promises
that were, you know, made or

130
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,600
broken.
And, you know, Pam Bondi being

131
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,560
fired might be one thing, but I
don't think her replacement was

132
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,720
much better.
As he steps in and goes, we're

133
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,760
closing the buck on the Epstein
case and everyone else is like,

134
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,360
I cannot believe that.
Like, like that's what got

135
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,799
bounty fired to begin with, you
know, like, I mean.

136
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,280
I mean, you can't.
Really argue that she was like

137
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,880
doing much else.
That was like bad bad I guess.

138
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:51,600
This is so blatant.
It was so dumb and it was she

139
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,920
looks so bad.
And then the guy's going to come

140
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,680
in.
It's just basically swap.

141
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,800
It's not swapping out of policy,
it's swapping out of face and

142
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400
people aren't going to buy that.
I don't, I, I don't know anyone

143
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,840
that buys that for even a
minute.

144
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,680
OK, Anyway, so I'm a citizen of
the United States of America.

145
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:13,080
What my representatives do
reflect on me, reflects on me.

146
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,600
And I'm no longer willing to
permit a whatever, whatever and

147
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,600
a traitor to coat my hands with
his crimes.

148
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,360
Administration officials not
including Mr. Patel.

149
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,360
They are targets prioritized
from highest ranking to lowest

150
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Secret Service.
There are targets only if

151
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,560
necessary and need to be
incapacitated non lethally if

152
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,320
possible.
Akai hope they're wearing body

153
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,760
armor because center mass with
shotguns messes up people who

154
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,920
aren't.
And interesting that he actually

155
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,600
that that was released and that
was actually the only case of

156
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,200
any kind of damage was a non
lethal shot.

157
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,080
Because according to Trump, at
least last night during his post

158
00:09:53,120 --> 00:10:00,360
event press conference, he he
said that he said that that if

159
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,600
not for the body armor that it
would have been a lethal shot.

160
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,480
So it's pretty crazy.
He seemed to have thought that

161
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,360
through.
And then hotel security not

162
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,000
targets at all if possible, AKA
unless they shoot at me

163
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,040
etcetera.
Rebuttals 2 objections Objection

164
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920
1 is interesting.
So he's already kind of planning

165
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,680
out for people to just.
Argue with him.

166
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:24,080
Hey, you don't need to do it
like this.

167
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,440
You don't need the violence we
don't need.

168
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,720
We don't need this to be the
case.

169
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,360
As a Christian, you should turn
the other cheek.

170
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,760
As a Jew, I don't can't pretend
to know what he should do or not

171
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,640
as a Christian, so I'm not going
to comment on that rebuttal.

172
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Turning the other cheek is for
when you are your when you

173
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,080
yourself are oppressed.
I'm not the person raped in a

174
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,280
detention camp.
I am not the fisherman executed

175
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,240
without a trial, right?
Like I guess he's obviously

176
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,960
talking about the fisherman from
Venezuela that were allegedly

177
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,680
bringing drugs which turned out
to just be like marijuana and

178
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,600
they were going to Colombia, not
United States.

179
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:06,240
But they were blown up obviously
without a trial on the orders of

180
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,680
Pete Hegseth, perhaps Marco
Rubio too, I believe.

181
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,200
I'm sure nothing happened to
that.

182
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,240
They say so anyway, and I'm not
a schoolgirl blown up or a child

183
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,280
starved or a teenage girl abused
by many criminals in this

184
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:25,920
administration.
OK, that is fair.

185
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,640
Again, this seems to emphasize,
to me at least, the

186
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,720
inconsistencies and what seems
to be coming to our head, which

187
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,720
is American, the America, the
homeland in America, the empire.

188
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800
And the empire has its agenda,
which is to survive.

189
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,080
And the homeland now, I think is
being woken up to the fact that

190
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,080
if it does not act out or not or
act back out, that it will not

191
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,320
survive.
And I think that just like, or a

192
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,600
company or a corporation or an
institution or a university or a

193
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,760
government fights, it's not one
individual person.

194
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,120
You can't point to one person if
you have a church or a

195
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,400
synagogue, if you have a, a
band, right?

196
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,840
I mean, think about the Eagles
that are still playing now and

197
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,280
you have only a few of their
original members.

198
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,720
What makes them the Eagles,
right?

199
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,840
And that's a, and that's a, and
that's a question that people

200
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,840
have very strong feelings about.
And I, I totally get that.

201
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,880
America, the homeland, but the
But the name the Eagles.

202
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,960
Persists because.
There's something about the

203
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,520
existence of that music of the
name that regardless of who's

204
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880
playing it, there seems to be
something that that that like

205
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,560
wants to keep that entity alive
as long as possible.

206
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,400
Maybe that's any original
founding member.

207
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Maybe it's a founding member's
family.

208
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,720
I don't know.
And I'm sure that it's a case by

209
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,840
case basis.
But the point is that America

210
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,000
the homeland, I believe, I think
that America the homeland and

211
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,480
America the empire are coming to
a conflict right now because.

212
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,840
For a long.
Time, America, the empire was

213
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,880
able to thrive while America the
homeland was doing relatively

214
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,720
well and there were obviously
little schemes to go ahead and

215
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,200
make people think that things
were going well.

216
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,320
You know, obviously, and I heard
this, I heard.

217
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,280
Crap, I don't remember who said
this.

218
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,200
So don't take take this with a
grain of salt, but that every

219
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,320
maybe Scott Horton or Dave Smith
that every for the last I think

220
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:41,320
20 years, every presidency's
stock performance, S&P 5, you

221
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,800
know, whatever it is,
performance was always breaking

222
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,120
and always at all at all time
high.

223
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,360
It just keeps on happening
because inflation is going up.

224
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:56,240
But there has been a mass deceit
of the public in the name of

225
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,640
economic.

Thanks so much.

228
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,480
Debt and slavery I think and you
can and obviously you could talk

229
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,120
about the fact that most
Americans, I think 40% I saw the

230
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,840
unusual whales that awesome
Instagram, the awesome Twitter

231
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,280
account posted the other day
that nearly 40% of Americans

232
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,240
don't have $500.00 cash for
emergencies that's.

233
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Crazy, you know, and I totally
and I actually totally hear that

234
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:39,160
and I totally feel that, you
know, I mean, I, I my life.

235
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,240
Is such a fortune just to be
able to?

236
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,440
Kind of be an adult.
I just kind of support two kids

237
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,600
just.
To support 3 kids just to be

238
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,680
able to.
Pay your mortgage and if.

239
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,320
I mean, by some chance you want
to try to scrap together without

240
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800
having family help or you, you
know, try to scrap together a

241
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,640
down payment.
I mean it could take decades.

242
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,360
Based.
On how much money?

243
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,000
People are are able to put
aside.

244
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,440
And if you look at.
Where the you know where the

245
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,440
money's being spent and where
the budget's going.

246
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,040
A lot of, A lot of.
It is going to America, the

247
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,760
empire.
So what happens is, or what I

248
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:27,440
believe is happening is that
this is a civil war not

249
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,160
happening in America.
This is a civil war between the

250
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,840
philosophies of what America is.
And these are the actual

251
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,840
casualties of war.
Same way.

252
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,440
And I actually, I can't believe
that, you know, I'm saying that

253
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,400
I'm just putting this together
while I'm speaking right now.

254
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,400
But the same thing with the
missing scientists, you know, I

255
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,400
mean, Trump announces a couple
of months ago that he's going

256
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,600
to, you know, and I mean, I know
that it sounds crazy.

257
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,320
I know that everyone's kind of
quick, you know, like it sounds

258
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,800
like sci-fi, but like this is
real.

259
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,960
I mean, the Pentagon, what are
we talking about it if it wasn't

260
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,200
real, you know, Obama and or at
least that there is something to

261
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,840
think about.
And again, you know, whether or

262
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,040
not anyone that is in politics,
whether you like, whether they

263
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,600
deserve to be believed at all is
obviously not something that's

264
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,240
taken for granted.
But there's a reason why these

265
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,720
slip UPS are happening.
There's a reason why people are

266
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,920
saying what they're saying.
And when Trump says that, you

267
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,840
know, Obama gave away classified
information by saying the aliens

268
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,520
are real and then goes ahead and
orders the declassify, you know,

269
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,880
the declassification of all
these documents and then

270
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,240
scientists, that's not true.
I mean, you know, cuz scientists

271
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,080
have been disappearing for since
2022, so it hasn't just been

272
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,240
happening since then.
But I think like four or five

273
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,560
have have disappeared since.
Then and like, and again, you

274
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,280
know, and, and obviously we live
in a time where all.

275
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,319
Information kind of be.
We have an abundance of

276
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:08,240
information and abundance, more
than we could ever dream of.

277
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,000
And none of it is all, and none
of it is completely true, and

278
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,040
you can't believe all of
anything at face value.

279
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,839
And So what you?
Kind of have to do is use that

280
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,400
abundance of information and
take bits and pieces and try to

281
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,600
sort together some kind of
narrative that actually, you

282
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,680
know, lines up.
I actually think that, excuse

283
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,560
me, Tim Dylan is incredible at
this.

284
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:43,360
I mean, he puts together these
these incredible narratives,

285
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,120
but.
And he and and he just puts

286
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:50,040
together news and philosophies
and perspectives.

287
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,320
And is able to.
Kind of blend them all into one.

288
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Coherent story as to what the
state of America is today and.

289
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:02,400
It's always changing and you can
see through bullshit like I

290
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,040
can't and one one of the.
Reasons why I've spoken about

291
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,480
before is because.
I am very comfortable and I am

292
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,040
very satisfied just kind of
taking information.

293
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,640
I'm not very sceptical.
I I'm pretty accepting when it

294
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,840
comes to information, and I've
kind of had to learn to try to

295
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,720
be more at least learn to listen
to a couple of different

296
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,200
perspectives before I even
decide for myself what I think

297
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:31,400
on anything.
I'm back, I just took a quick

298
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,920
break.
I think that.

299
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,000
I think that.
You know, especially when we

300
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,160
talk about having to be wary of
information that's given to us

301
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,280
and that none of it's true, I
mean.

302
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,640
Even this manifest manifesto, we
have no idea how doctored it

303
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000
was.
We have no idea whether anyone

304
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:50,520
messed around with anything or
the way that it was released.

305
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,480
And I mean, even the fact that
it was partially released

306
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,120
already means that someone
decided to censor or hold back

307
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,480
something or some of it.
And I kind of hope the rest of

308
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,560
it gets leaked and gets out
because I think it's important.

309
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:08,080
It's always interesting to
understand because these acts

310
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,600
are obviously acts of terror.
I don't condone any of them.

311
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,280
I don't think.
Obviously in a perfect world

312
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:21,280
that would never happen.
But I think that in order, I

313
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,200
think that at the end of the
day, information is information.

314
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,320
In order to unders, in order to
fix the problem, you have to

315
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,360
understand what the problem is.
In order to prevent more attacks

316
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:33,400
like this, I think you got to
understand the motive and the

317
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,400
motive.
Is very clear.

318
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,520
The motive is super, super
clear.

319
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,040
And, and you know, the kids that
he was talking about was the

320
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,080
fact that we initially said that
we're going to war in Iran to

321
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,960
help liberate the people.
And at least according to Glenn

322
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,640
Greenwald's journalism or
sources, that they were using AI

323
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,240
assisted rockets.
And that was one of the that was

324
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,200
the missile that hit the
children's school the first day

325
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,280
of the war and killed over 120
mostly school kids.

326
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,960
I think that Americans aren't
for it.

327
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,520
I think that I think
unfortunately, so many years of

328
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,720
war, America, the homeland is
kind of sick of it.

329
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,360
And so the America, the Empire.
Looks like it's on the verge of

330
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:30,440
falling and is doing everything
in its power to not fall,

331
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,200
everything in its power to stay
alive.

332
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,640
But at the end of the day,
without support of your

333
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,240
homeland, of your heart, of the,
the source of your funds, the

334
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,080
source, the people that I don't
even know whether or not that

335
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,280
hold you accountable, but
hypothetically hold you

336
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,840
accountable.
You could demand evidence, then

337
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,000
you destroy evidence and then
you just lose more credit

338
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,880
credibility and then no one's
going to support what you do.

339
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,280
Now, what does it look like for
America, the empire to fall, you

340
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,880
might ask?
I think it means that our

341
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:17,080
foreign policy and the people
and the people that we have

342
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,680
around the world, the military
bases, our currency for American

343
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:26,520
dollar ends up losing value.
I think that I think that

344
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,360
America, the empire is about to
fall apart and America, the

345
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:35,760
homeland is going to need some
time to rebuild itself or

346
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,600
redevelop itself.
And it's going to take a lot of,

347
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,520
it's going to take time because
of such a what, what a

348
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,680
precarious economic situation
we've put ourselves into.

349
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Now, if America the empire fails
and ceases to become a priority

350
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,320
and America goes from being the
world's policeman, which I

351
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,040
remember even learning about in,
in middle school.

352
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,640
I don't remember if I talked
about this in the podcast

353
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,600
before.
I remember learning about that

354
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,920
in middle school in like a
history textbook or something,

355
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,640
or a social studies textbook.
And I was, and I, I was even

356
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,440
curious then I was like, why are
we the policeman?

357
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720
Like who made us the policeman
of everyone else?

358
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:23,560
And I remember that foreign
policy was explained to us

359
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,200
pretty much as there are bad
people in the world and we want

360
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,880
to make their lives better, so
we go there and we help.

361
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,600
Make their lives better.
And I never obviously I, I'm in

362
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,200
3rd, 5th, 7th, 10, you know,
9th, 10th grade.

363
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,000
Obviously this is all getting
kind of, you know, I mean, this

364
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,840
is the history textbooks, these
are the, this is the American

365
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,240
education.
So it, you know, and, and, and

366
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,200
I, I mean, I don't know whether
I'm looking back on it now with

367
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,120
my new lens and my new
perspective and therefore

368
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:59,000
ascribing A motive for my train
of thought, because I don't

369
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,600
think that I was really even
thinking very much at that

370
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,840
point.
I was more thinking about how I

371
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,000
hated school and how I want to
be home and how I want to be

372
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,720
playing, playing basketball and
hanging out with my friends.

373
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,960
But I did think like, it's kind
of weird that like, like who

374
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,160
made America as opposed to
because we, you, you also learn

375
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,280
about other countries and you
also learn about England and you

376
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,400
also learned about Europe and
you also learned about Russia

377
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,440
and China a little bit.
You, you learn about the fact

378
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,920
that they exist.
You learn about the fact that we

379
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,400
had a Cold War and that World
War 2 was, I mean, I, my World

380
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,720
War 2 education, unfortunately
was primarily around the

381
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Holocaust and very little around
the actual war, which is

382
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,560
obviously important for some
reasons and lacking for other

383
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,280
reasons.
Mainly the fact that if you only

384
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,160
focus on one aspect of a World
War, then you forget the context

385
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,760
of the rest of it and allow
history to repeat itself because

386
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,680
you haven't learned from it.
So once you can, obviously, you

387
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,480
know, so it's important to
revisit a war or revisit history

388
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,920
and try to understand its
fullest context.

389
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960
That's actually what I really
like about a lot of Darryl

390
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,600
Cooper's work.
If you listen to the Martyr Maid

391
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,240
podcast, it's really
uncomfortable for a lot of

392
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,840
people because he puts himself
in everyone's shoes.

393
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,640
And individuals, especially
people who identify with the

394
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,000
tribe or with a particular group
or with a particular entity,

395
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,800
find it very, very uncomfortable
to hear that the entity, that

396
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,520
they're a part of the
organization, the life this this

397
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,960
Organism that they're a part of
could do something wrong.

398
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,280
And so obviously they have a
very vehement response, almost

399
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:44,360
like an allergic response to any
kind of concession that, hey,

400
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,720
you know, the way that people
that have historically been on

401
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,960
my side have acted, acted in a
way that I'm not comfortable

402
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,440
with or think is appropriate.
But I'll still support the idea

403
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,840
if the idea is at its core is
good and the way that it's

404
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,800
meant, the way that it's carried
out is bad.

405
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,240
I heard a really, it was
actually an awesome.

406
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,040
It was a debate I keep on
talking about, I guess, quote UN

407
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,400
quote forbidding characters with
Glenn Greenwald and Tucker

408
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,560
Carlson.
And man.

409
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,600
However, I just mentioned a
minute ago Darryl Cooper.

410
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,000
Sorry about that.
And he was happy 'cause I had

411
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,600
this very, very interesting
debate.

412
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,080
And I kind of wish you would do
more of these rather than talk

413
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,680
about the war, though, you know,
every three times a week.

414
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,360
I understand from his
perspective while he's doing

415
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,960
that.
But he had this incredible

416
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,520
debate with a, with a company.
In San Francisco.

417
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,240
I believe it's near Silicon
Valley.

418
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,960
And the company helps you once
you're going through the process

419
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:43,640
of IVF pick, you know, with IVF
in vitro fertilization, you get,

420
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,600
it's artificial insemination and
artificial, I guess it happens

421
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,840
from, you know, externally,
outside, you know, not

422
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,520
naturally.
And you take the healthiest

423
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,480
embryos, the ones that have the
highest chance of being healthy

424
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,280
and thriving and succeeding and
living.

425
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,960
And you select it.
And you could select whether

426
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,560
you're whether you're going to
be a boy or a girl or if it's

427
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,800
going to, you know, maybe some
certain characteristics, you

428
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,600
could weed out some genetic
diseases like, or traits like

429
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,760
Down syndrome.
And Tucker was having this

430
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,440
debate with this guy about
whether or not we should be able

431
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,400
to kind of pick, for example,
once we have that that

432
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,960
information, we could we also
have information as to what the

433
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,920
kids jeans look like for height
or for eye color, hair color,

434
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,160
stuff like that.
And Tucker, you know, Tucker

435
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,520
was, was against the idea and
the guy was essentially saying

436
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,400
it's not too different from what
we're doing right now.

437
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:44,520
You're not altering any jeans.
The only possible selection of

438
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,920
genes that you can pick from are
still from you and your wife.

439
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,160
And you're not changing
anything.

440
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,280
It's just that you have the, the
information that you had before

441
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,040
is a little more detailed now.
And so you could make a little

442
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,720
bit more the you as a parent can
make more of a decision as to

443
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,440
what that's going to be.
People don't like that.

444
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,160
People say that.
It's kind of taking God out of

445
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,320
the equation.
I don't know what I think of it

446
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,520
yet.
I think I have to think about it

447
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,800
a little bit more.
But one thing that they were

448
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,280
talking about, and this is where
it ties into the, that is where

449
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,200
it ties into what I'm talking
about the rest of the time is

450
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,960
the the, the guest and I.
Have to pull up his name because

451
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,320
I don't want to not do him
justice but he.

452
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,880
Here we go.
I'm sorry, I'm just going to

453
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:34,160
call this yeah up real quickly.
Kian Sadeghi, the CEO of Nucleus

454
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,960
Genomics.
And it's an awesome podcast.

455
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,280
You should absolutely listen to
it.

456
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,080
It's philosophical, it's deep,
it's inquisitive, it's

457
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,440
speculative about technology and
the way that it's implemented

458
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,480
throughout society, which is
always a really interesting

459
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,200
conversation.
And OK, I forgot his name

460
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,640
already, but Kian said there's,
you know, there's three pretty

461
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,720
much more outlooks that people
have.

462
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,640
And I hope I understood this
correctly.

463
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,920
I definitely understood the 1st
2.

464
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,960
I don't think I understood the
3rd.

465
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,680
So I'm not going to try and
explain it, do a bad job with

466
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,920
it.
But the first idea was it's

467
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,920
basically consequentialism.
And that is the concept that if

468
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,000
it turns out OK, then everything
along the way is justified.

469
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,400
That kind of is the way of the
Americans right now, I feel

470
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,200
like.
And the way that America has

471
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,320
been implementing any kind of
policy for at least as long as

472
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,840
I've been following politics.
So maybe the last 7-8 years then

473
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,800
and you know, and I kind of
heard that sentiment phrased by

474
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,560
Carmelo Anthony one time when
and this was kind of always his

475
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,160
mentality throughout his career,
whether he was on the Nuggets or

476
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,320
whether he was.
On the Knicks or?

477
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,440
Actually, I got to see him in
one of his first games at the.

478
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,640
On the trail.
Blazers, which is a ton of fun

479
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,800
in Portland and that place.
Loved him by the way.

480
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,200
I mean, there was so much love
and respect for him, but.

481
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,160
He was known for being an
audacious kind of guy.

482
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,240
He would take these high risk,
quote UN quote clutch shots.

483
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,280
He'd put himself into relatively
precarious situations in bass on

484
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,520
the court.
And he said, and he said an

485
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,600
interview one time, it was
there's no such thing as a as a

486
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,560
bad shot that goes in.
And I fundamentally disagree

487
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,480
with that.
I think that there's absolutely

488
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,400
such a thing as a bad shot that
goes in, and that actually leads

489
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,120
into the next type of
philosophy, which is that we

490
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,520
have no real control over the
outcome.

491
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,520
And the only thing that we could
really control are the means of

492
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,720
how we get there.
And yeah, you can kind of plan

493
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,640
for something or plot for
something.

494
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,120
But realistically, and I think
that if one thing has been made

495
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,560
clear in the last 10 years, 15
years of our lives on planet

496
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,200
Earth, it is that man plans, God
laughs.

497
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,600
It is impossible.
It's next to impossible to

498
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,520
predict what the heck is going
on and what the heck is going to

499
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,160
go on.
And So what the moral philosophy

500
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,640
would be is we can't really, you
know, we could try and steer the

501
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,680
ship in the direction that we
want it to go, but ultimately

502
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,240
it's more important and most
important that the way that we

503
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,600
get there is done in a moral
way.

504
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:22,000
I definitely fall into that
second camp as far as my

505
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,760
temperament, my philosophy.
It's kind of always the way that

506
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,440
I was.
I never really cared very much

507
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,400
about winning or losing as
opposed to feeling like it was

508
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,400
close, it was competitive, it
was fun.

509
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,840
I burned myself out of effort.
You know, like the worst

510
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,040
feelings ever.
Whether you're playing

511
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,560
basketball, whether you're
rolling jiu jitsu, whether

512
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,960
you're in school, whether
they're doing your job and like

513
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,240
you're just going through a
slump and and you really feel

514
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,120
like, yeah, I'm kind of passing
through.

515
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,680
But I'm definitely not living up
to the standards of what I'm

516
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,680
able to contribute and what I'm
able to do.

517
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,120
But because the.
Standards are lower than what

518
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,000
I'm capable of.
I'm just going to kind of lower

519
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,960
myself down to the bare minimum
and get away with that.

520
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,080
And I really, really try.
That's one philosophy that

521
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,320
scares the life out of me,
scares the crap out of me.

522
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,480
And I work really, really hard
to, to the best of my ability,

523
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,000
not live like that.
To say that whatever, I, I don't

524
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,120
know what my life is going to
end up looking like.

525
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,200
I don't know what the podcast is
going to turn into.

526
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,160
I don't know what my family is
going to end up looking like.

527
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,360
I don't know what I'm going to
look like in 10 years from now.

528
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,440
I know that every step along the
way is going to be intentional.

529
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,520
I know I'm going to put my all
into the day-to-day.

530
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,880
Because if I'm not putting into
my in my all into the

531
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,240
day-to-day, then what the hell
is going on?

532
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,800
What am I?
What am I even doing here?

533
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,280
And people are afraid of
success, myself included.

534
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,640
And people are afraid to find
out what happens exactly when

535
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,360
you kind of outsmart the system
or what happens when you realize

536
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,720
that your job doesn't really
mean as much as what you think

537
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,920
it does or it or doesn't even
require your full capabilities

538
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,640
and your potential is so much
more.

539
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,560
And how come you're not
achieving that?

540
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,920
And what's filling your time
instead of you achieving that?

541
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,040
And what's pulling at you?
What will you know?

542
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,800
I mean, I mean, we're a nation
that is addicted.

543
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,520
We're a nation that is divided
and captured.

544
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,560
And again, I actually, I'm
sorry, I wanted to finish the

545
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,760
the point that I was making on
Tucker.

546
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,160
In this debate.
The American empire tends to

547
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,520
look at decisions and I think a
lot of people within America do

548
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,600
too.
I'm not trying to make this like

549
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,040
a good guy, bad guy kind of
thing.

550
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,800
I think that like everything in
life, there are tensions between

551
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,800
philosophies where some aspects
of it ring true and some of them

552
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,960
have a, a, you know, a, a second
side to it that is not

553
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,560
necessarily great, not not
really good, right.

554
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,520
And I mean, you can say that,
man.

555
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,840
I mean, I don't even, I, I don't
even have to give examples.

556
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,480
I think that if you're listening
to this and you're even slightly

557
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,480
aware of the last 2025, thirty
years of American or world

558
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,600
history, I think that what I'm
saying generally tends to ring

559
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,320
true.
And So what our values have to

560
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,080
be, and I think that, you know,
and it's funny because that's

561
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,720
the sentiment you hear a lot of
times from people that are

562
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,200
trying to preserve themselves
are the ends justify the means.

563
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:22,400
It's all for the greater good.
You don't really hear individual

564
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,320
great people say that.
You don't really hear people

565
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,200
that understand the concept of
accountability and

566
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,680
responsibility, say the ends
justify the means in the same

567
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,040
way.
Because I think that either if

568
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,000
they've lived their life through
that, they would know that

569
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,280
that's not the case.
And if they're not ready to

570
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,880
admit that yet, then they're
certainly afflicting that type

571
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,840
that that perspective on
another, on the next generation,

572
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,280
whether it's their kids, whether
it's the people that are working

573
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,480
for them, whether it's their
students.

574
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,640
But the people that focus on
that look inward.

575
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,040
They said this is absolutely not
acceptable.

576
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,720
You know, it is absolutely not
acceptable to say that you're

577
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,239
going to liberate a people and
blow up a school with 120 kids

578
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,840
in there.
And I'm not justifying anything

579
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,760
that this guy did.
I'm not justify and I'm not

580
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,320
condoning it.
And I and, and, and I think he

581
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,639
was wrong.
And I think that Carl Allen or

582
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:26,440
whatever his name is, is, well,
it is and was wrong.

583
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,440
And I think he is a
manifestation of some very, very

584
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,960
real sentiments.
The interesting thing to me is

585
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,760
that it's pretty clear that as
as far as the empire, America,

586
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,800
the empire is concerned, it's
pretty easy to tell who they

587
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,040
are.
The corporations that benefit

588
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,320
from the comfort of being able
to essentially rule over other

589
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,280
countries and economies, banks,
corporate news, Pharmaceutical

590
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,520
industry, obviously the military
industrial complex, obviously

591
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:05,000
the oil, the energy and oil
companies, obviously all of

592
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,200
these people that embody and
make up.

593
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,400
And obviously there's there's,
there's loads more and there's

594
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,520
loads that I'm not even aware of
and there's load.

595
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,680
I'm sure that the more home, you
know, I mean, there's, there's

596
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,200
nothing new under the sun.
And you know, I don't doubt that

597
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,520
there is more than a lifetimes,
there's several lifetimes of

598
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:29,720
investigation and learning to do
on these topics, on the topic of

599
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,000
America, the empire versus
America, the homeland.

600
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,080
But those people aren't the
people, those entities, those

601
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:46,160
industries, the very, very short
term Friedman esque economic

602
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,840
policy of short term gains as a
corporate shareholder

603
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:56,560
responsibility at all other
expenses is a philosophy, an

604
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,600
economical philosophy that
clearly seems to have failed.

605
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,480
Case in point, it's not the best
thing because and especially

606
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,760
when corporations.
Aren't regulated and aren't.

607
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,880
Subject to, to, to public
scrutiny the same way that

608
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,680
government is.
They don't have the same

609
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,080
responsibility to answer a FOIA
act.

610
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,920
They don't have the same
responsibility to, you know,

611
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,720
appear before the Senate or
Congress.

612
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,720
And then even if they're never
held accountable, they're on the

613
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:27,480
record for the rest of time
supporting whatever agenda

614
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,200
they're supporting.
And people will know that for

615
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,600
all time.
And whether they're not actually

616
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,200
held accountable, that still
echoes, that still rings.

617
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,760
And it's, and you know, it feels
like we're at the verge of a

618
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,080
breaking point.
And I think that comes to show

619
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,800
you, or that comes to show us
that the moral philosophy of

620
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:51,200
consequentialism is probably not
the best one, or at least one.

621
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,800
That.
Works for America.

622
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,160
That works for a For a country
as enormous as America and

623
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,000
empire as enormous as America,
the country of America is big

624
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,880
enough.
That we do need some time to

625
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,480
rebuild and I think it could
happen very quickly.

626
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,200
I started saying this earlier.
But I mean, I think about all

627
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,440
the budgets and all the money
that goes abroad in any

628
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,640
capacity, you know, and people
are upset about cutting off aid.

629
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,880
I think that if we drove through
Michigan and Wisconsin, the fly

630
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,840
over states, you go to New York,
you go to Florida, we go to, you

631
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,320
know, Florida, which was so hot
for, you know, for three or four

632
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,240
years already is too expensive
people to keep on coming down

633
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:35,920
to.
And California, I mean, even

634
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,880
Seattle, WA, which most people
really don't.

635
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:42,680
I mean, most people that I've
interacted with in my life don't

636
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,440
know much about or have much to
do with or, you know, really

637
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,920
feel like it's one of the big
quote, UN quote American cities.

638
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,880
It's unaffordable.
It's crazy.

639
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,800
I would love, I would have loved
to buy a home in Seattle.

640
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,040
It would have been awesome to
move to, to, to Washington

641
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,720
state.
I lived there for a year and I

642
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:02,560
had the best time of my life.
And I'm going back this summer.

643
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,400
And you can't and you can't
afford to live there.

644
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,360
And so I mean, you're looking at
the poverty, you're looking at

645
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,920
the poverty of the fly over
States and the and affordability

646
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:18,000
of the coastal States and the
border states.

647
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,360
I guess those are the ones you
kind of go do.

648
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,320
I mean, if someone wants to move
to Montana, someone wants to

649
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,000
move to Texas, someone wants to
move to Michigan, upstate New

650
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,600
York, you could do it.
And those are also, by the way,

651
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,600
the awesome places for sure, but
they're not the, you know, I

652
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,920
mean, but as far as cutting
foreign aid, drive around and

653
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,720
see what Americans need.
A drive around Asheville, NC,

654
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:45,240
which is an enormously liberal
city and filled with very cool,

655
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:51,200
hippie, vibrant, creative,
albeit expensive vibes.

656
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,000
The brewery District, the
fashion district, the arts, the

657
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,040
you mean the music there?
There's incredible music.

658
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,480
They have the, what's the name
of the, the Biltmore, you know,

659
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,960
the Biltmore Hotel, which is,
which is really incredible.

660
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:08,240
You know, the mountains are all
around you and see what those

661
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:09,440
see.
Those people need help.

662
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:13,440
Those people need aid.
And one of the tribal things

663
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,320
that I think you know, one of
the things that are valuable

664
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:21,280
about tribal, one of the aspects
of being part of a community,

665
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,000
whether it's a country or
religion, is that you help out

666
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,120
those that are closest to you if
you can, how you can.

667
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,040
And then you keep on helping
outward and outward and outward

668
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,720
more and more and more and more.
And if you're lucky enough to be

669
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:39,680
able to support those that are
closest to you and you still

670
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,800
have leftover or you still need
more work than great, go ahead

671
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,920
and keep helping other people
out.

672
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,880
But it's gotten to the point
where this there, there seems to

673
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,880
be this inherent conflict.
And most American people at this

674
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,000
point are, are so tired and are
so overworked and are so

675
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,560
isolated and are, and are
feeling, I mean, you know, I,

676
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,640
everyone I talked to about
Epstein and everyone I talked to

677
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,400
about.
Even like the.

678
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,200
UFO stuff recently and I, you
know, I'm talking about, you

679
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,400
know, Orthodox Jews and very
skeptical, sober minded people

680
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,360
of a lot of these kind of things
and not even sober minded

681
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,440
because they're more skeptical
than they are believing.

682
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,160
And people just don't know what
to do with the information that

683
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:22,560
we're getting now.
And what's interesting is the

684
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:27,400
development of the would be
Trump assassins where for the

685
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,440
first one during his
presidential run, while he will

686
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:37,240
campaign felt you know, one way
it could have been, you know, it

687
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:39,560
could have been someone from the
left.

688
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,160
It could have been someone from
the deep state who is

689
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,200
threatening to dismantle could
have been whoever.

690
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,040
I don't know, another country,
right.

691
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,560
The second time seemed to kind
of been tied in with Ukraine

692
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,040
somehow and some real deep state
thing.

693
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:04,320
And now this seems to really be
like in the same spirit of

694
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,520
again, I said this before like
the Luigi mangion guy where he

695
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,080
says, what are you doing?
You are not, you guys are not

696
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,880
accountable and you're killing
us and you are making us feel

697
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,520
and look terrible.
And again, whether you agree

698
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,880
with this guy politically or
not, whether you, you know,

699
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,080
like, like whether or not you
obviously you got you, I, I,

700
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,160
you, you should not condone
this, but what do you think is

701
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:35,280
going to happen?
I don't know.

702
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,680
Like 14 scientists are missing
whistleblowers.

703
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,560
There's a whistleblower that was
supposed to report to Congress

704
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,160
the other day found of a drug
overdose.

705
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,680
So this guy that was, you know,
had access.

706
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,400
To top clearance classified
information was going to you

707
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:59,520
know, be go through the proper
whistle blowing channels after

708
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,320
by the way, assuming that he has
Trump's approval even because

709
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,120
Trump posted that he wanted to
to release this this

710
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,240
information.
So it looks like he has support

711
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:13,240
for the administration, ends up
dead by drug overdose.

712
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:17,480
Is this guy a druggie?
Is this guy a drug addict?

713
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:22,240
Is this guy, I mean, two weeks
beforehand.

714
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:27,800
Now, it's hard to speculate
because I think that humans are

715
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,520
humans.
And I would be, for example,

716
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,120
terrified.
I'm terrified of even recording

717
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,520
this kind of stuff and talking
about this stuff.

718
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,840
I'm a scared person in general.
I've talked about that before.

719
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,240
This guy just happens to be, you
know, a drug addict.

720
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:46,240
Let me pull up.
What the article I saw about

721
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:52,400
that said.
OK, this seems to be a New York

722
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,240
Post article.
The Air Force Intelligence

723
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:58,000
officer and would be UFO
whistleblower Matthew James

724
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,240
Sullivan passed away from an
alleged overdose.

725
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,280
Coincidentally, he was about to
testify about the UAP

726
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,880
phenomenon.
This is a 23rd UAP whistleblower

727
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,960
who has mysteriously passed
away.

728
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,320
According to the Northern
Virginia Medical Examiner, the.

729
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,960
Cause was ruled by accidental
drug overdose, A fatal mix of

730
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:24,800
alcohol, Xanax or Alprozalam.
OK, I'm not going to say the

731
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,480
pharmaceutical name, but muscle
relaxant and imurpine.

732
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,720
Imurpine.
I know what that is, sorry.

733
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Sullivan had deep experience
across Air Force Intelligence

734
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,240
Agency, National Air and Space
Intelligence Center and NSA.

735
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,920
He claimed involvement in the
government's secret legacy UFO

736
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,160
program, a crash retrieval
operations, and said he had

737
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,160
personally seen non human craft
in US possession.

738
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,840
Weeks before his death.
He agreed to testify before

739
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,280
Congress in November 2024 to
blow the lid off the program.

740
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,480
Representative Eric Burleson
from a Republican from Missouri

741
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,800
called the timing of grave
concern and referred the case to

742
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,120
the FBI, who is sure to be on
top of it with Cash Patel out

743
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,040
the door.
Suspicious circumstances citing

744
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,800
suspicious circumstances,
potential foul play and national

745
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,640
security risks.
Yeah, yeah.

746
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:26,240
But you know, you know, nothing
to look at over here, nothing to

747
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:27,960
look at over here.
I don't know.

748
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,600
This is nuts.
This is nuts.

749
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:33,600
And we're kind of heading
towards this.

750
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,800
There is going to be some kind
of reckoning, some kind of

751
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:47,720
climax when people feel like
they have really nothing else to

752
00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:48,880
lose.
It's really.

753
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,000
Interesting, I was actually
thinking about this from a

754
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,320
different perspective, but this
applies to this conversation for

755
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,800
sure.
Our sense of morality.

756
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,520
Our morality could deepen based
on our level of security and

757
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,000
comfort.
So in places for example, where

758
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,320
everyone everyone has plenty of
food, someone stealing a slice

759
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,800
of pizza is not the biggest deal
in the world and probably will

760
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,880
be looked at as a misdemeanor.
Whereas if you're in a society

761
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,320
where a missing slice of pizza
could be the difference between

762
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,040
whether a kid makes it or not
and whether or not.

763
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:27,920
And obviously that's a extremely
dramatic case, but I'm just

764
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,840
making up a case in point that
the morality, you know, the

765
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,600
moral consequences of someone
stealing food is going to be

766
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,240
much graver.
We have, I think, been Americans

767
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:44,000
have been particularly tolerant
of the fact that our politicians

768
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:49,280
have been so full of crap
because at the end of the day,

769
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,360
everyone could kind of still
point to a system, a route to.

770
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,800
Success and say listen like
whatever they're doing like I

771
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,400
don't like it.
I don't like any more than you

772
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,880
do, whatever it is, but.
I'm fine.

773
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,920
There's something really for me
to fight, you know, like, OK,

774
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,920
fine, I'll vote the other way
next time as if that will make a

775
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,040
difference.
Or I'll post about it on social

776
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,600
media as if that makes a
difference.

777
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,200
But when things become more
extreme, when people are when,

778
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,600
when gas is so expensive, when
people feel.

779
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,480
A form of economic slavery
Between debt, nearly 40% of

780
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,240
Americans said they have less
than $500 in cash savings.

781
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,080
That's one.
That's one point.

782
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,840
And then the second point was
the number of Americans using

783
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,760
buy now, pay later for groceries
has more than doubled in the

784
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,760
last.
Two years, as per the Hill.

785
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,920
Yeah, that's when morality
starts to become a little bit

786
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:48,040
less liberal, and that's when
behavior begins to become more

787
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,880
extreme.
And when politics and

788
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,560
politicians go from screwing
people's pockets to their kids

789
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,400
or trafficking their daughters,
that's a different level of

790
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,800
morality.
That's a different.

791
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,640
That's a different level.
And I think that it's going to

792
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,000
keep.
On going on.

793
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,120
The the LendingTree.
Survey covered by The Hill

794
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,920
showing 29% of users now
financing food purchases versus

795
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:18,640
14% previously Gen.
Z leads in trend at 38% Gen.

796
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:23,600
Z 38% of them almost 40 almost 4
out of 10 people can't afford to

797
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,320
pay their grocery bills, which.
Is why they're buying by now,

798
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,240
which is why they're paying on
buy now, pay later.

799
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,560
That's not an economy.
And so the Empire keeps on

800
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,160
trying.
To do its.

801
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:42,680
Thing and it's starting to get a
lot of pushback and you want

802
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,640
cooler heads to prevail.
But when driven to such

803
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,160
extremes, I don't know that
that's going to be the case.

804
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,080
And I want people to come
together and I want good

805
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,240
conversations and I want healthy
conversations.

806
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,640
But you can't be surprised when
something like this happens.

807
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,440
Anyway, some food for thought.
Just posting about this because

808
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,880
it's all happened last night and
I had a lot of luck going around

809
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,520
in my head about this and.
We will see you in another 5

810
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,520
episodes.
Few more episodes coming this

811
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,240
week.
I hope guys.

812
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,040
Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed
that episode.

813
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,320
I'm going to read the full
manifesto that was just

814
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,600
released.
I just came across and if you

815
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,560
want to hear the full manifesto
and not the short summary that I

816
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,400
posted earlier in the episode or
I started elaborating on, here

817
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,480
we go.
Hello everybody.

818
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,600
So I may have given a lot of
people a surprise today.

819
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,960
Let me start off by apologizing
to everyone whose trust I

820
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:41,520
abused.
I.

821
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,800
Apologize to my parents for
saying I had an interview

822
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,400
without specifying it was for
quote most wanted UN quote.

823
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,480
I apologize to my colleagues and
students for saying I had a

824
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,080
personal emergency quote.
Sorry, open parentheses.

825
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,320
By the time anyone reads this, I
probably most certainly do need

826
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,760
to go to the ER, but can hardly
call that not a self-inflicted

827
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,400
status.
Close parentheses.

828
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,360
I apologize to all the people I
traveled next, to all the

829
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,280
workers who handled my luggage,
and all the other non targeted

830
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,320
people at the hotel who I put in
danger simply by being near.

831
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,240
I apologize to everyone who was
abused and or murdered before

832
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,960
this, to all those who suffered
before I was able to attempt

833
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:26,840
this, to all those who may still
suffer after regardless of my

834
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,040
success or failure.
I don't expect forgiveness, but

835
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,440
if I could have seen any other
way to get this close, I would

836
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,640
have taken it.
Again, my sincere apologies on

837
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,760
why on to why I did any of this.
I am a citizen of the United

838
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,360
States of America.
What my representatives do

839
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,160
reflects on me, and I'm no
longer willing to permit a

840
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:50,040
pedophile rapist and a traitor
to coat my hands with his

841
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,800
crimes.
Well, to be completely honest,

842
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,240
sorry parentheses.
Well, to be completely honest, I

843
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:56,360
was no longer willing a long
time ago, but this is the first

844
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,600
real opportunity I've had to do
something about it. close

845
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,600
parentheses.
While I'm discussing this, I'll

846
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,480
probably over.
I'll probably go over my

847
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,960
expected rules of engagement,
probably in a terrible format,

848
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,360
but I'm not military.
So too bad.

849
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,800
Administration officials not
including Mr. Patel.

850
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,640
They are targets prioritized
from highest ranking to lowest.

851
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:18,880
Which is crazy that Cash Patel
was not included in his list of

852
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,920
administration officials.
Maybe because he knows that he's

853
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,840
going to be fired soon and so
he's not, you know, actively

854
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:25,600
involved.
I don't know.

855
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,520
Or maybe there's other reason I
don't know.

856
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,560
Secret Service.
There are targets only if

857
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,320
necessary and to be
incapacitated non lethally if

858
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,440
possible.
AKA I hope they're wearing body

859
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,880
armor because center mass with
shotguns messes up people who

860
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,000
aren't.
Hotel security not targets at

861
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,280
all if possible, AKA unless they
shoot at me.

862
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,880
Capitol Police, same as hotel
security.

863
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,880
National Guard, same as hotel
security.

864
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,240
Hotel employees not targets at
all.

865
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,800
Guests not targets at all.
In order to minimize casualties,

866
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,880
I will also be using a buckshot
rather than slugs.

867
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,320
Less penetration through walls.
I would still go.

868
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,080
Through most everyone here to
get to the targets if you're

869
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,880
absolutely necessary on the
basis that most people choose to

870
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,880
attend a speech by pedophile,
rapist and traitor and are thus

871
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,160
complicit.
But I really hope it doesn't

872
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,000
come to that.
Rebuttals to objections.

873
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,640
Objection 1.
As a Christian, you should turn

874
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,280
the other cheek.
Rebuttal.

875
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,080
Turning the other cheek is for
when you yourself are oppressed.

876
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,160
I'm not the person raped in a
detention camp.

877
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,360
I'm not the fisherman executed
without trial.

878
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,040
I'm not the school kid blown up
or a child starved or a teenage

879
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,560
girl abused by many criminals in
this administration.

880
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,160
Turning the other cheek when
someone else is oppressed is not

881
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,120
Christian behavior.
It's complicitly.

882
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,960
It is complicity in the
oppressor's crimes.

883
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,520
Objection to this is not a
convenient time for you to do

884
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,320
this rebuttal.
I need whoever thinks this way

885
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,760
to take a couple of minutes and
realize that the world isn't

886
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,480
about them.
Do you realize when I see

887
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,800
someone raped or murdered or
abused I should walk?

888
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,280
Do you think rather than when I
see someone raped, murdered,

889
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,240
abused I should walk on by
because it would be inconvenient

890
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:04,640
for people who aren't the
victim?

891
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,160
This was the best timing and
chance of success I could have

892
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:08,960
come U with.
Objection 3.

893
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,320
You didn't get the mall
rebuttal.

894
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,680
Got to start somewhere.
Objection 4.

895
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,320
As a half black half white
person, you shouldn't be the one

896
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,240
doing this rebuttal unless
anyone else picking up the

897
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:21,520
slack.
Yield under objection #5 Yield

898
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,960
under Caesar's.
What is Caesar's rebuttal?

899
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,520
the United States of America are
ruled by the law, not by any one

900
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,480
or several people.
In so far as representatives and

901
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,440
judges do not follow the law, no
one is required to yield them

902
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,640
anything so unlawfully ordered.
I would also like to extend my

903
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,800
appreciation to a great many
people since I will not likely

904
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,280
be.
I would not be likely to be able

905
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,640
to talk to them again unless the
Secret Service is astoundingly

906
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,000
incompetent.
Thank you to my family, both

907
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,680
personal and church, for your
love over these 31 years.

908
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,680
Thank you to my friends for your
companionship over many years.

909
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,040
Thank you to my colleagues over
many jobs, for your positivity

910
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,880
and professionalism.
Thank you for my students for

911
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,480
your enthusiasm and love of
learning.

912
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,680
Thank you to the many
acquaintances I've met in person

913
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,360
and online, for short
interactions and long term

914
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,960
relationships, for your
perspectives and inspiration.

915
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,280
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely cold cold force

916
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:20,200
friendly federal assassin Allen.
PS Now that all that sappy stuff

917
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,480
is done, what the hell is Secret
Service doing?

918
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,960
Sorry, going to rant a bit here
and drop the formal tone like I

919
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,040
expected.
Hotel cameras at every bend,

920
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,080
bugged hotel rooms, armed agents
every 10 feet, metal detectors

921
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,400
out the wazoo.
What I got, who knows, maybe

922
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,840
they're pranking me, is nothing.
No damn security.

923
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,640
Not in transport, not in the
hotel, not in the event.

924
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,840
Like, the one thing that I
immediately noticed walking to

925
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,200
the hotel is the sense of
arrogance.

926
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,560
I walk in with multiple weapons
and not a single person there

927
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,600
considers the possibility that I
could be a threat.

928
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,120
The security at the event is all
outside, focused on protesters

929
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,360
and current arrivals because
apparently no one thought about

930
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,320
what happens if someone checks
in the day before.

931
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:04,360
Like this level of incompetence
is insane and I very sincerely

932
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,720
hope it's corrected by the time
this country actually gets

933
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,600
competent leadership again.
Like if I were Iranian agent

934
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,200
instead of an American citizen,
I could have brought a damn MA

935
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,280
deuce whatever that is in here
and no one would have noticed.

936
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,240
Shit actually insane.
Oh, and if anyone is curious

937
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:23,920
about how about how to doing
something like feels, it's

938
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,160
awful.
I want to throw up.

939
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,880
I want to cry for all the things
I want to do and never will.

940
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,160
For all the people whose trust
is betrays.

941
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,120
I experienced rage thinking
about the about everything this

942
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,360
administration has done.
Can't really recommend it.

943
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:46,280
Stay in school, kids.
That is the full manifesto of

944
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,840
the gunman, Cole Allen, as
obtained by the New York Post.

945
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,720
Take with that as you will.
