#155: Thomas Massie and the Populous / Crumbling Empires / Economic Slavery

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

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,280
We are live with a another solo
episode.

3
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,720
There is an enormous amount to
talk about today and I'm really

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,360
excited to think about, talk
about the news, talk about

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,560
what's going on, and hopefully
try to provide some perspective

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,640
that could at least give us some
potential solutions and to fight

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,520
the darkness that seems to be
consuming everywhere around the

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,320
world.
Thomas Massie just lost his his

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:47,600
congressional seat in Kentucky
to a gentleman named a former

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Navy SEAL named Ed Gallerain.
And this is the latest.

11
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:58,000
It feels like in of battles is a
loss in the battles between

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,280
elite establishment and populist
grassroot individuals.

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,560
It's hard to say how popular
Thomas Massie is.

14
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,000
It's hard to state how many
people look fondly on him, at

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,760
him.
You don't have to agree with him

16
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,800
with everything, but he's always
a gentleman.

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,720
He has shown his willingness to
work across the political aisle

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,520
with Ro Khanna, congressman from
California, which if that

19
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,280
doesn't speak partisan politics,
I don't know what does.

20
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520
You know from both of them, the
Republican from Kentucky and the

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,640
liberal from California, working
together to hold elites and

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,280
establishment that feel that
they're above the laws of the

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,720
land from which they reap
people's taxes, services,

24
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,640
benefits.
They don't hold themselves

25
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,320
accountable to the same system
of justice.

26
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120
Thomas Massie in one of the most
politically polarized

27
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,440
environments ever.
I'll be doing a podcast shortly,

28
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120
hopefully within the next couple
of weeks, with a political

29
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,520
commentator and professor.
And he wrote this book about

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,240
unstable majorities and how.
And I talked about this.

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720
I touched on this with the
episode with a gentleman named

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Jim Thurber or James Thurber.
And we talked a little bit about

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480
political radicalization and
polarization.

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,840
And one thing that hopefully
will be I'll be discussing

35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,960
coming up is that a lot of times
in the past, ideology was not.

36
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,000
I think I've talked about this
in the podcast before, but

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,760
ideology didn't have to be left
or right.

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,400
Implementation of ideology was
left to right.

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,960
And then as time went on, the
parties started separating into

40
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,200
different moral systems and
values.

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,840
Now that's not good at all, I
think.

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,160
But I think that that was
probably intentional.

43
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,280
I think it's pretty safe to say
at this point that this mass

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,200
experiment of social media, this
mass experiment of getting

45
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,400
Americans to hate one another,
this mass experiment, I mean,

46
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,320
and we could even see it because
we have, you see a battle of for

47
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,560
people's attention, not just
obviously with big media

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,800
companies trying to fight for
your eyeballs.

49
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,280
I'm not talking about Meta or
Netflix or Google or X or

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,520
anything like that.
I'm talking about the fact that

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,240
the search for the Epstein for
Epstein files and the Google

52
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,640
searches and the news stories
immediately faded away following

53
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,960
the Iran war.
I'm talking about the fact that

54
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,120
and like, you know, and, and
I've heard this recently, and I

55
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,240
think that is true.
The organized protest, it feels

56
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,760
like the organized protests that
have been going on in the

57
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,280
country for the last 10, 10-15
years, I would say generally

58
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,400
skew more towards social
cultural issues that don't

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,000
nearly impact everyone as much
as issues like economics, as

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
much as issues like foreign
policy, as much as issues like

61
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,400
trying to understand how
America, the homeland versus

62
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,040
America, the empire is doing.
Trying to, to understand issues

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,760
about the fact that those in our
corporate political and banking

64
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,720
systems that are the most
psychopathic are the ones that

65
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,880
are the most rewarded.
And that these and, and I think

66
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,120
it's becoming clear to everyone
and part of the reason why it's

67
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,800
becoming clear to everyone.
It's becoming clear, it's

68
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,280
becoming clear that institutions
are rotten.

69
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,920
It's becoming clear that there
is different levels of values in

70
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640
this world and there are rules
for some and then there are

71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,720
rules for others and and then
it's becoming more blatant.

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,320
The the powerful are becoming
more blatant.

73
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,240
The populace doesn't know what
to do.

74
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,800
I think.
And one of the issues that

75
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,040
Thomas Massie is so good on and
has been focusing on for so

76
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,280
long, which was a completely not
sexy issue and completely not

77
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:45,760
attractive issue until people
started feeling the consequences

78
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,800
of it, is economics.
And the way that our economy is,

79
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,960
the way that our government
spends money, what it means when

80
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,360
our government spends more money
than what we produce, how our

81
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,800
currency is being debased and
devalued.

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,760
And all these words 10 years
ago, 20 years ago, 50 years ago,

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,160
sounded boring, are now hot
Topic talking points.

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,160
And part of the reason why is
because we are finally at the

85
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080
point where the bill for
everything that we've been doing

86
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,080
is due.
And the way that you know that

87
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,920
that's happening and the way
that you know that there is this

88
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,720
collapse of the populace, that
the elite individuals,

89
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:35,600
corporations are continuing to
thrive is the fact that our

90
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,640
president and the fact that our
government and the fact and it

91
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,480
doesn't make I'm, I'm not just
talking about Trump here because

92
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,600
it, this is bipartisan.
This happens.

93
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,240
This happened to Biden, happens
with Obama, happened to Bush too

94
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,720
long, for a long time.
Where are they where people

95
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,440
could say the economy is doing
XY and Z?

96
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Well, XY and Z great.
And a lot of people are like,

97
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,680
what are you talking about?
And there are charts and there

98
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,800
are numbers and you can create
economic forecasts that all

99
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,200
point towards the fact that,
hey, I'm showing you on national

100
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,200
television the people, you the
people are able to make, you

101
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,320
know, look at how well American
economy is doing.

102
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,120
Everyone that feels that the the
40 to 50% of people that have to

103
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,480
use buy now, pay later for their
food and groceries.

104
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,600
Don't be silly.
The economy is doing great for

105
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,840
the people that can't afford to
travel for the airlines, the

106
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,680
budget airlines that are going
out of business.

107
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,120
I think the number with between
Spirit and like Frontier and

108
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,600
like the ultra cheap, ultra
economical airlines are

109
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,000
generally like 25 to 35% cheaper
than other airlines.

110
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:47,440
Well, guess what?
It's not an option right now.

111
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Sorry, you know, And by the way,
fuel, gas, that's really

112
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,720
expensive.
I have, I have friends and it's

113
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,720
so interesting because this
isn't a sentiment that people

114
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,600
talk about, although it's a
sentiment that people

115
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,280
experience.
When you don't want to fill up

116
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,200
your gas tank, you don't want to
leave your house.

117
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
When you don't want to leave
your house, you're not

118
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,440
connecting to people, You're not
talking to people.

119
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,560
You're not, you're not, you're
not showing your kids new

120
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,120
things.
You're not going to meet, make

121
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,880
new friends.
You're not going to pursue

122
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,560
things you like.
You got to stay home.

123
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800
It's going to be lockdown.
We've had lockdowns, economic

124
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,560
lockdowns, social lockdowns,
health lockdowns for a long

125
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400
time.
This 2019-2020 people have not

126
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,920
recovered.
And while we could, while we

127
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440
technically our life is quote UN
quote back to normal.

128
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,120
We're not wearing wearing masks
anymore.

129
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Life is certainly not back to
normal.

130
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Our social skills are off.
The have just completely fallen

131
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,360
apart.
Our relationships deteriorate

132
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,320
like crazy.
Whether it is between family

133
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,720
members and community or couples
or friends doesn't matter.

134
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,680
People aren't meeting each
other.

135
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,480
People aren't going out.
Whenever you go out, you got

136
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,880
your headphones in.
You're living in this little

137
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520
bubble.
People have college debt, credit

138
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,320
card debt, car debt, medical
debt, buy now, pay later, which

139
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,720
is not part of your credit score
yet.

140
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,240
People can't afford to buy
houses.

141
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,480
People can't afford to rent,
rent homes.

142
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,160
The rental market is crazy
because it's really hard to buy

143
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,560
a house now.
And so if no one's able to

144
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,120
afford to, no one's able to
afford a house.

145
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,960
Everyone's looking to rent.
When everyone's looking to rent,

146
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,520
it's incredibly competitive,
gets more expensive, so people

147
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,000
are getting locked out.
Thomas Massey has been saying

148
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,840
for years, we have to stop
spending.

149
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,160
So much so that he actually
created this little gadget thing

150
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,400
that he wears around that shows
in real time connected the most

151
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600
accurately of anywhere in the
world, apparently.

152
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,120
Actually the this pin that it's
a digital pin that shows the

153
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,360
national debt in real time, how
many trillions of dollars it's

154
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,360
constantly spending and it never
stops moving.

155
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,039
It's crazy.
And he's saying that as a

156
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:35,679
reminder.
He's saying that to show

157
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,919
everyone that's watching him.
Hey, man, you, you see the money

158
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:42,240
that you're working to earn.
You see the services that you're

159
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,560
looking to provide.
You can't keep up with how much

160
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,840
we're spending.
You can't possibly keep up with

161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,360
what we're doing.
And I think America is ready to

162
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000
come to terms with the fact that
we are now.

163
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,560
You know, I think that the rest
of the world has seen that we're

164
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,600
not a superpower already for a
long time.

165
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,880
I think Americans are starting
to realize it now, too.

166
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,800
And not only Americans, not only
the populist, I think even the

167
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,120
leadership is starting to
realize this.

168
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,440
Because when Trump went to China
earlier this week and brought

169
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,320
the top businessman with him,
there was not an air of the same

170
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,440
type of condescending talk,
behavior, negotiating tactics

171
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,600
that we may express in the
Middle East or South America or

172
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,560
Africa or Europe.
Even Russia.

173
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,640
I know we don't like to mess
around with Russia, but we're we

174
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,880
talk about China, we talk about
Russia rather the way that we

175
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,280
talk about the Iranians or the
way we talk about any with the

176
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Iraqis or anyone in the Middle
East.

177
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,720
But when it comes to China, our
rhetoric is much more careful.

178
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,840
Our leadership's rhetoric is
much more careful.

179
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,280
And there's a good reason for
that.

180
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,160
And I actually think that a
little bit of modesty and a

181
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,360
little bit of humility and a
little bit of understanding

182
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,160
where our place is right now to
understand how contingent our

183
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,280
society is and our our empire is
on China.

184
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,640
And to say, in order to be able
to get ourselves out of this

185
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,120
pit, potentially, this is what
we're going to have to do.

186
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,560
We're going to have to work with
you.

187
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:02,480
We're going to have to
collaborate.

188
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,720
John Perkins, again, I always
talk about him, Confessions of

189
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,440
an Economic Hitman said in the
podcast and the last time that

190
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,120
he was on the podcast with me,
that we shouldn't look at China

191
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,000
as a competitor.
We should look at them as a

192
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,560
sorry, as an enemy.
We should look at as a

193
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:16,400
competition.
A petition is we drive each

194
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,120
other to succeed.
An enemy is someone that you are

195
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,720
backstabbing.
An enemy is someone that you are

196
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,720
working on negotiating peace
deal with and then bombing them

197
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,600
behind their back.
That's what you do to an enemy.

198
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,840
We don't do that to China.
And that's because I think that

199
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240
we know that if anything
happened, we'd lose.

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,520
We would absolutely lose.
So Thomas Massie is out for

201
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,400
representing the people.
He raised over $5 million from

202
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,480
grass root individuals
primarily, and he was unseated

203
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,160
by a member of the
establishment.

204
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
I think they only had like 70
donors and was the most

205
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,440
expensive Senate rate
congressional race, I think, in

206
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,080
American history.
And obviously, the reason why

207
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,400
it's such an expensive race is
because I think that most

208
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,280
Americans realize how important
Thomas Massie is.

209
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800
And I think Americans wanted to
keep him in and he lost and he

210
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,720
lost.
So he might run for president

211
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,920
next.
And I kind of hope he does.

212
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,640
So even if we work with China,
the problem of the populace

213
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:13,720
versus the elites still exist.
And I'll tell you why #1

214
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,320
robotics are advancing to the
point that we now have

215
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,200
warehouses that are operating on
robots that are working 24 hours

216
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,480
a day.
So if America walks away from

217
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,040
our meeting with China and says
we had a really, really

218
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,960
successful and wonderful meeting
with China, we are going to

219
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,600
collaborate and negotiate and
we're going to work together in

220
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040
the future and we're going to
bring factories to America.

221
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480
That's all great.
Not if the factories don't

222
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,600
create any jobs.
That's the big complaint about

223
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,800
data centers actually, is that
data centers provide short term

224
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,680
jobs for, you know, for a couple
of months until while while they

225
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,800
get built.
If you want to stretch it out,

226
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,800
be all bureaucratic, maybe take
a year, you know, and then they

227
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,000
primarily run on themselves and
these factories that are getting

228
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,960
built and they're going to come
to America.

229
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,640
That doesn't necessarily mean
economic opportunity.

230
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Now, we may be able to use them
as a tool.

231
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,560
We may be able to say, hey,
people don't have to work, but

232
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,920
we'll export what we're
creating.

233
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,240
And then we will use those,
those, those funds.

234
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,440
We'll use that money for the
people and distribute them to

235
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120
the people, which, you know,
maybe I hope so.

236
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Mark Zuckerberg is training AI
on Meta's top employees.

237
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,560
So the most intelligent people
that are getting paid the most

238
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,280
money out of any industry almost
in the world.

239
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,000
The AI researchers are one of
the biggest conglomerations the

240
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,040
world's ever seen, while their
leadership, their top performing

241
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,360
humans, they're teaching AI
everything they know.

242
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,920
And so you have robots doing the
physical work, you have AI doing

243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,680
the white collar work.
You have America saying that

244
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,040
we're going to open more
factories here, but we don't

245
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,240
necessarily know that that's
going to translate into anything

246
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,760
for the population and for the
people.

247
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,920
You have Trump on record saying
in the Iranian saying on record

248
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,360
about the Iranian war that he's
not at all considering the

249
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,680
economy, what people are
suffering and whether people are

250
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:00,040
suffering as a result of
inflation as a result of we're

251
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,200
spending aside from the troops
that are that are already there.

252
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,520
And people can't go out and
people can't go out because by

253
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,680
the time for my, you know, with
myself, for example, every time

254
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:12,240
I pay for my mortgage and I pay
for the food for the five people

255
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,560
that are living in my house.
And I pay for my son's tuition

256
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:19,640
for his school, for his
playgroup, because I can't keep

257
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,320
my home.
I'm working three jobs.

258
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,360
My wife is working and we have
another kid at home.

259
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,360
So by the time I have tuition,
my mortgage and food bills paid,

260
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,240
forget about electricity
dreaming as obviously the

261
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,920
pricing, you know, which started
so cheap.

262
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,360
Disney Plus started I think like
699 a month.

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,200
And now I think I'm paying, I'm
paying almost $40 a month for

264
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,200
Disney, HBO, and Hulu, which I
know is not necessarily a fair

265
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,640
comparison, but it's a lot more
expensive than it was.

266
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,440
Netflix keeps on getting up.
Apple TV keeps getting more

267
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,280
expensive.
Amazon Prime just downgraded you

268
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,040
to buy ads unless you want to
pay for no, for no ads.

269
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,200
And it feels like we're not.
We're losing the the population

270
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,000
is losing opportunities to
create money, but the cost of

271
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,400
living is still going up.
And even if you are going to

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,080
redistribute money, the cost of
things will just continue

273
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560
climbing because that money
doesn't mean anything.

274
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,200
So we have economic slavery.
We're losing opportunity for

275
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880
future employment, whether
you're talking white collar or

276
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,920
blue collar jobs.
And people are getting really

277
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,000
disenchanted.
And then Thomas Massie gets

278
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,760
overthrown or overseated or
outseated, whatever you want to

279
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,240
call her.
He loses his seat in Congress.

280
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,240
And the one guy that out of a
out of 40 to 60 years of Epstein

281
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,920
operating in the confines of the
West, the one person that ever

282
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,000
forced any documentation out
about him, just got thrown out

283
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,640
of his, out of his seat.
I can't.

284
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,400
I don't think I can.
I can or I don't think I can

285
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,760
articulate how huge of a deal
that is and what that says about

286
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,840
our system.
And This is why I keep on

287
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,480
saying, you know, and I've done
and I've talked about this a

288
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,040
bunch on on on my solo episodes,
but This is why people abandoned

289
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,840
systems and rebuild new ones.
People abandoned them because

290
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,680
they say obviously aren't
working for me.

291
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Why am I pitching in?
Why am I donating?

292
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Why am I contributing?
Why am I sharing?

293
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,280
And not only am I not getting
anything back in return, like

294
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,240
I'm happy to pitch in and just
be left alone.

295
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Like there's a cost.
Like if there's a cost to be

296
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,280
left alone, I'll pay it.
Let's take the mafia, right?

297
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,440
OK, knock on my door.
You want some protection, I'll

298
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,080
give you some protection, but
that's not happening here.

299
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,440
I have to get off the economy
freaking me out.

300
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,440
Good news.
The better news I just the good

301
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400
news is that they're actually I
think is plenty of hope.

302
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,000
As they say in Hebrew, there is
hope and I really do believe

303
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,760
that.
The reason why I believe that is

304
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,480
because the people that are the
populace are starting to work

305
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,800
together and starting to notice
that the things that are

306
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,000
separating them, the things that
the core fundamental human

307
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,600
issues that I think the elites,
media, establishment have been

308
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,480
trying to get us to not notice.
Like our money, Like the fact

309
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,800
that AI is coming for everyone's
jobs essentially, but without

310
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,920
necessarily providing first of
all, we even know how much it

311
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,080
costs, how much it's going to
cost for AI to actually replace

312
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,240
all of us.
And for the amount of compute

313
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,000
that it would take and the
amount of resources that it

314
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,200
would take for AI to actually
successfully take everyone's,

315
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,960
you know, white collar jobs in
America and around the world.

316
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,840
I don't know.
It's, it seems like a little bit

317
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,720
of a stretch to me, although
it's possible.

318
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,480
And so we don't know and we
don't have a game plan for for

319
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,720
what are we going to do about
people.

320
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,960
And I think that this is
actually causing very, very cool

321
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,680
and potentially wonderful
effect.

322
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,440
And that is that once people
become so disenchanted with

323
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,280
establishment and with the
narrative and say, hey, I can't

324
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,680
trust you and I can't trust what
you're telling me.

325
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,960
And I can't trust the values
that you are pushing for me to

326
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,480
either pursue and or abandoned,
right?

327
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,720
I will not abandoned my family.
I will not abandoned, I will not

328
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,080
abandon my mom because or my
uncle because of partisan

329
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,760
politics and who one who someone
voted for and we have no control

330
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,839
over whether or not they even
got into the White House or not.

331
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:11,599
Like that is not what our
concern is going to be.

332
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,839
You know what our concern is?
Hey, both of us, I went to, I

333
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:17,319
went, I went out with my friend
last night and he's probably

334
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,119
much more conservative than I am
and a lot of things and a lot

335
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,520
more liberal than I am in other
ways.

336
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,640
And we both sat down.
We both got a beer.

337
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,319
I've got 2 beers.
I got 2 guinnesses.

338
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,800
You got one beer.
I got 2 guinnesses.

339
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,320
I paid for the two guinnesses
and a tip and tax. 25 dollars

340
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,120
$25 for two beers in a local
Irish pub somewhere in Boca

341
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,760
Raton, FL.
There is absolutely no reason in

342
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,480
the world.
On the way home I ordered a

343
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,320
burger that was hungry and it
was 10/30 11:00 at night $30

344
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,760
burger.
I bought a burger and two beers

345
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,680
for $55 last night.
Tell me how that is something

346
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,480
that is going to be sustainable
for people.

347
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,280
It's not.
And so we're going to find that

348
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,720
much more valuable and it's
going to unite us and it's going

349
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,080
to, that's going to be much more
unifying to us than whatever our

350
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,800
partisan perspective on religion
or God or politics or whatever

351
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,280
might be way more important.
Because you know what, at the

352
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,040
end of the day, and I've talked
about this too, our, our level

353
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,520
of moral stature or decay is
very, very often based on how

354
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,120
secure financially,
economically, socially, mentally

355
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,880
that we feel.
And when people are in such dire

356
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:37,560
straits, our morals, our values
are going to revert, are going

357
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,360
to regress, and it's going to
lead, like people are saying, to

358
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,840
a revolution.
It might not be a revolution in

359
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,480
the same way that we've always
seen throughout history.

360
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,720
It might not be the same
revolution that you might

361
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,440
experience with little up in
arms, but it's a different type

362
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,920
of revolution.
It's a rejection.

363
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,800
It's a total rejection of a
system.

364
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,080
It's a total rejection and it's
turning your back on it and it's

365
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,520
not using it.
It's not using the current

366
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,640
system that we've been working
on.

367
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,120
Colleges screw colleges.
Resumes.

368
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Screw that.
The resumes are AI generated.

369
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,480
They're being rejected by AI
agents or accepted by AIAI

370
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,080
agents.
Doesn't make a difference.

371
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,600
Resumes out the window.
Jobs.

372
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,040
Guess what?
No job security in the futures.

373
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:21,120
What is going to drive me to go
to school to get an education if

374
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,560
there's no promise of anything
to benefit me?

375
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,840
Instead we start embracing
different things.

376
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,200
Relationships hey I am
struggling with addiction I'm

377
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,960
struggling with depression,
anxiety and I found that hanging

378
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,040
out with people 3 or 4 times a
week and working out 2 three

379
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,000
times a week makes me feel so
much better.

380
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280
You can tell me that snake oil,
you can tell me that's garbage.

381
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,040
You can tell me that it's not
true.

382
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,360
I don't care because the what
the because I've tried following

383
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:55,520
your rules for 20 years, for 30
years, for 40 years and look

384
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,120
where it got us.
O thank you very much.

385
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,760
I appreciate your advice.
I understand your concern.

386
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:05,280
I'm going to pursue the quote UN
quote, snake oil because I don't

387
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,400
know what else is out there and
I'm going to at least take a

388
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,880
hard look at it.
And what is happening now is

389
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,720
that a lot of things that were
previously stigmatized, whether

390
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,120
they're talking about mental
health, whether it's talking

391
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,720
about the relationship between
our mental health and our

392
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,200
physical health or vice versa.
Our physical health and how well

393
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,720
our brains are functioning, how
well our emotions are, how in

394
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,360
tune we are to our emotions,
that that is all being flipped

395
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,000
on its head in a mass way right
now, massive way.

396
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,640
And it's exciting.
And then I find myself agreeing

397
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,000
with Seth Rogen, which is
bonkers, but when he's talking

398
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,480
about AI and he goes, if you
feel the need, if you're writing

399
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,680
a script and you feel the need
to have an AI write a script for

400
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,680
you, you should not be writing
scripts.

401
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,520
It's garbage.
And what we are learning is that

402
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,520
output does not equal value.
And just to creating something

403
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,800
for the sake of creating, it
does not necessarily mean it's

404
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,800
anything.
That's the term that it's funny.

405
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,520
There's a social term now a
colloquial phrase to use the

406
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560
parlance of our times called
slop.

407
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,480
And whether it's AI slop or no,
a Barnes and Noble is talking

408
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,600
about they're going to start
carrying AI generated novels.

409
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,680
You think there aren't enough
writers out there that can't

410
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,120
figure out how to get their
books on your shelves that you

411
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:15,600
need to start stacking up with
AI novel, the AI novels Spotify

412
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,120
is is is Spotify, I believe, I
believe I read this and I have

413
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,720
to double check.
Call me out if it's not the

414
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,360
case.
Has been working on trying to

415
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:27,080
remove AI podcasts because they
say what is going on over here.

416
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,040
You know how many people are
trying to make podcasts, myself

417
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,840
included, that are putting time,
putting effort, putting work

418
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,800
into this.
And one of the hardest things

419
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,600
about podcasting is getting
visibility.

420
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,120
And you want to dilute the
marketplace even more with

421
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,800
something that doesn't with with
with something that doesn't.

422
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,040
We don't even it's garbage.
I mean it, it's literally

423
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,040
garbage.
So I thought myself agreeing

424
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,960
with Seth Rogen.
I don't know understand what

425
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,840
planet I'm living on right now.
And I, I mean really, I feel if

426
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,200
nothing else, I feel vindicated
for my last couple of years of

427
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,360
solo episodes because all the
things that I've been saying

428
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,360
have been coming to fruition.
I don't think, listen, I'm not

429
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:08,520
self aggrandizing.
I'm not looking to be right and

430
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,000
reject.
You know, I've changed my mind a

431
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
lot of things I've been proven
wrong about things that I've

432
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,280
thought, that I believed, I
thought was right.

433
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,040
And it will happen again plenty.
But one thing that is not going

434
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,200
away, the understanding that
people require that there's

435
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,320
certain fundamental requirements
that people need.

436
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,520
People need relationships.
People need embodied

437
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,600
relationships.
People need the feeling that

438
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,640
people are willing to buy into a
system to be left alone without

439
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,120
feeling like they're being
abused.

440
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,360
And then the second that they
feel that they're being abused,

441
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,400
they either, I mean, listen,
sometimes you're tired and

442
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,080
you're old and your
responsibility and you're

443
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,880
drowning in bills.
And I mean, this is actually

444
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,960
interesting because obviously
from a, from a biblical

445
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,360
perspective, what Pharaoh, and
I've spoken about this before,

446
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,960
what Pharaoh did to the Jews in
Egypt was he made them work so

447
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,240
hard that the at the Jewish
scholars say that the Jews

448
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960
didn't have time to realize that
they were being enslaved, that

449
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,360
they were so focused on working.
And they're so focused on being

450
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:02,720
productive.
And they're so focused on that

451
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720
they didn't even know that they
were slaves until they just

452
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,120
until someone woke them up one
day.

453
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,000
And they said, and then once
they have that second to open

454
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,560
their eyes, they're like, whoa,
what are we doing here?

455
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Why do we have robots in
factories when we haven't had

456
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,680
factory jobs in the when factory
jobs have been leaving the

457
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,760
United States the last 60 years,
the second that we start getting

458
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,600
factories back, they're going to
be replaced with robots.

459
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,200
Why do my friend who I just went
to celebrate his graduation from

460
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,320
medical school, where he spent
probably $250,000 to get his

461
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,240
degree, why is his job going to
be obsolete in five years?

462
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160
And why are we training the
world's best AI agents on the

463
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,960
world's best doctors to have
everyone that's not the world's

464
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,080
best doctor just be completely
replaced?

465
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Why is he?
Why is he playing into that

466
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,520
system now?
He's playing into it because on

467
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,200
the other hand, what else can
you do?

468
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,720
What are you going to do?
You're not going to work.

469
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,160
You're not going to learn,
You're not going to be creative.

470
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,040
So we know we want to do
something.

471
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,800
We know we want to have it make
a difference and have an impact.

472
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,600
But it feels like our
opportunities to do so are being

473
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,640
stripped away from us.
And I think that this is what

474
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960
other countries have felt like
while the American empire was

475
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,640
crushing them financially and
economically.

476
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,720
I'm sure that this is what South
America felt like.

477
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,440
Probably China does this too.
You know, it's soft power,

478
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,800
influence, propaganda.
It's money.

479
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:20,720
And John Karaku, who is the only
person to go to prison from the

480
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,720
CIA, that was related to the
torture program, and the reason

481
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,080
why he went to prison was
because he blew the whistle on

482
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,560
the torture program and he was
the only one that was punished.

483
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,320
John Kairiaku says, guys,
torture doesn't even work,

484
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,720
doesn't get you to give good and
it doesn't get good

485
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,760
intelligence.
It doesn't get good information.

486
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,360
When people are suffering, they
will do what they got to do to

487
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:42,640
get out of suffering.
They don't care whether it's

488
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,000
good information or bad
information.

489
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,760
I think that we can apply that
train of thought to groups of

490
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960
people at a time as well.
When groups of people are

491
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,200
suffering, that's not a way to
incentivize them.

492
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,760
It's not a way to change
people's minds.

493
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,600
Economic warfare, real warfare,
the way to get people to change

494
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,720
their minds, the way to get
people to go along, the way to

495
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,160
get people to succeed is to help
everyone succeed.

496
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,520
And the best thing is there's
enough out there that not

497
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,360
everyone has to succeed at the
same thing.

498
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,400
There's enough to do.
There's enough humanity.

499
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,520
This world is diverse enough.
Life is diverse enough.

500
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,760
The universe is diverse enough.
Math, physics, psychology,

501
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
technology, storytelling,
education.

502
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,440
I mean, taking care of the
physical world around us,

503
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,280
learning about the oceans,
learning about space, learning

504
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,920
about, you know, our
relationship to time and space.

505
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,440
Breaking free of the confines of
our national slavery, of our

506
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,200
addictions, of our addictions
for, you know, of, of the fight

507
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,480
for our attention, of the fight
for our money, the fight for our

508
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,840
eyeballs and the fight for our
values.

509
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,200
We could focus on just we could
focus on, on making the world,

510
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,040
on making the world better by
understanding it.

511
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,480
And that's what's cool.
A lot of people are rebelling in

512
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,600
the sense that they're starting
to give credence to a lot of

513
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,240
things that were disregarded
just a couple of years ago.

514
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,160
Whether you want to call it
UFOs, alien life,

515
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,760
extraterrestrial life, the
relationship potentially between

516
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,440
religion and this ET phenomenon
that people are experiencing,

517
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,400
shared consciousness that we
could study.

518
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,760
All these things are being
looked at more seriously now

519
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,480
because the other system failed
and it's a scary time.

520
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,240
It's super, super scary.
We're going through an enormous

521
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,320
transition.
You could feel it happening.

522
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,560
You feel that people are getting
squeezed and, and, and we're

523
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,680
either going to just go down
living the exact same way that

524
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
we always were, or we're really
going to change and something

525
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,920
radical is going to happen.
And I think that when something

526
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,400
radical happens, it's going to
be a good thing.

527
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,480
It's going to be a hopeful
thing.

528
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,560
I think that the American
experiment of this imperial of

529
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,880
America, the empire, this
imperial perspective has failed.

530
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,800
It's crashing.
I don't know.

531
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,000
I, I, I would prefer if America,
the homeland rose like a phoenix

532
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,600
from the ashes.
I would hope that America, the

533
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,400
homeland can recover from all
the damage that it's sustained,

534
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,800
from all the financial, from all
the social damage, from all the

535
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,680
spiritual damage, from all the
physical damage, from all the

536
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,440
destruction, from the, from the,
from the congestion, from, from

537
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,800
the destruction of cities and
the population, from the

538
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,080
isolation of the American people
to feeling like we're not living

539
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,880
in one country.
We're living in a world of and

540
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,480
individual massive competition
to everyone around you because

541
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,920
it's probably a heart, it's
probably harmful, it's probably

542
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,040
a threat, and it's exhausting to
live like that.

543
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,880
And a society that lives like
that can't continue because we

544
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,280
do need to collaborate.
People are social animals.

545
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,760
The only way we have survived in
the past was with working

546
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,840
together.
We'll do it.

547
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,360
And Hippie saved physics,
according to David Kaiser,

548
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,840
they'd be saved physics because
this is fascinating.

549
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,840
Actually during the World War 2
era and then the Cold War and

550
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,040
really since then we've
constantly been in a state of

551
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,120
war.
We've need to take our science

552
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,520
and our scientists and apply
their perspective towards trying

553
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,040
to resolve real world and real
war time problems.

554
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,600
Gone was the questions of
purpose, of universality, of the

555
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,840
theory of everything, of play,
of wonder, of looking at a UFO

556
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,640
and being like, I don't know how
to measure that.

557
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,120
I don't know what could possibly
mean.

558
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,200
Let's try and figure it out as
opposed to, I don't know what

559
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,880
that means, but I got more
important things to do and in

560
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320
the scientific community was
losing its life.

561
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:21,800
And then the hippies came along
And the hippies, which I think

562
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,880
I've talked about a bunch of the
podcast with, with Jenny Chan,

563
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,920
with Dennis McNally, the hippies
got a lot of their culture from

564
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,200
the East, Thailand, from China,
from Japan, India, some of the

565
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,720
most ancient cultures in the
world.

566
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,400
And we have all this mysticism,
we have meditation, we have out

567
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,120
of body experiences, we have
remote viewing, we have

568
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,720
vibrations and music and
telepathy and all these things

569
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,680
that were written off because we
couldn't explain them.

570
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,080
The hippies embrace them.
And when you, when you, when you

571
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,440
get a scientist, when you get a
hippie scientist and you take a

572
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,120
scientist that instead of
working for Raytheon or for the,

573
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,720
for the Pentagon, trips acid
with the Grateful Dead and

574
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,760
studies quantum mechanics and
tries to understand how we're

575
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,240
all tied, how consciousness is
tied together and how we can

576
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,640
expand your contractor
consciousness, which sounds

577
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,160
crazy, to be fair, because it's
not, but it doesn't sound that

578
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,840
crazy.
I think that there's, I think

579
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,040
people universally accept, for
example, the fact that if you're

580
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,440
meditating, you might be able to
have an out of body experience.

581
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,760
Well, once you're out of body,
like why, why is the limit just

582
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,600
right outside your body as to,
you know, where your

583
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,560
consciousness could go, right?
We have a deviation through

584
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,960
meditation between our physical
and our physical body and our

585
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,880
consciousness.
And if you get to the point

586
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,640
where you could isolate them and
then separate them, and you're

587
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,320
observing yourself and you can
see your physical body with your

588
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,760
consciousness, why not look
elsewhere?

589
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
You know, what's to stop you
from looking forward to

590
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,040
backwards?
And by the way, if the answer is

591
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,600
science, and if the answer is we
don't know how that works, and

592
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,200
if the answer is we can't figure
it out, well, doesn't that seem

593
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
like a really cool and fun thing
to work on?

594
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,840
Doesn't that seem really
exciting?

595
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Doesn't that seem like it has a
ton of potential for the future

596
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,480
of humanity, for the evolution
of mankind, for the future?

597
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Instead of fighting on Twitter
about whether Thomas Massie is

598
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,840
an anti Semite or not because he
doesn't want to take a PAC money

599
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,840
or because he called out his
opponent for getting caught

600
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920
getting funded by super PACs.
That's what our priorities are.

601
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,160
That's what our values are.
We're sitting here fighting

602
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,000
about the fact that the roast of
Kevin Hart was so not PC.

603
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,880
And by the way, I didn't find a
lot of the jokes funny.

604
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,440
I don't find roast very funny.
I don't complain about them.

605
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,320
I just don't watch them.
But that's going to take more of

606
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,440
your attention and more and
you're going to worry about that

607
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,480
more than you're going to worry
about the fact that you haven't

608
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,240
left your house in two weeks
because it's too expensive to

609
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120
fill up your car with gas.
Like where are priorities over

610
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,280
here?
So there's going to be there is

611
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,920
an awakening.
There's going to be an

612
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,640
awakening.
There's going to be forces

613
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,160
fighting that awakening,
obviously because someone

614
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,680
benefits from all this
isolation.

615
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:57,040
You know, only a few people in
America hold over 50% of the

616
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,240
wealth.
And again, as John Perkins put

617
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,880
it, if three people on 60% of
the wealth, 50, even 51% of the

618
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,800
wealth, wealth in the country
they get they, they, they gain

619
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:13,600
10% year over year profit and
the rest of the economy loses 2%

620
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,320
year over year.
We have a net positive economy.

621
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:17,520
Do we?
Do we?
