Episode 139: Iran and Icecream

1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,120
Welcome back to another episode
of A Record of My Father.

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,120
Today we're going to be talking
about the newest news events

3
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,960
that are going on right now.
We just started a war with Iran

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,280
under the president that he said
he was the president who doesn't

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,560
start wars by I guess it's a
little different than starting a

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,720
war with Iran.
And then we're also going to

7
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,560
combat this topic with ice cream
because we were thinking about

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:43,680
favorite flavors of ice cream
kind of coalesce or correlate to

9
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,320
kind of wars that you enjoy, you
know, or wars that you don't

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,360
like.
You know, because if I think

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,920
about mint chocolate chip,
that's kind of like my Vietnam.

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,000
I don't like it that much.
I feel like it's it's forced on

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,920
me.
You know, I think that that's

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,640
kind of that.
Well, what do you think about

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,280
this?
Well, the reason I thought about

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,960
ice cream in Iran was that your,
your mother and I decided to go

17
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,800
get ice cream today because it's
a sunny day.

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,360
And we whipped out the
convertible and took the top

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,640
down and went out and got ice
cream.

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,240
And that was like really cool.
And it with all the horror going

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,960
on, you're like, hey, let's go
get ice cream.

22
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,400
That makes a lot of sense.
You know, you know, live your

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,360
life, move forward.
And not to put blinders on, but

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,880
try to try to not to at some
point totally be 100% involved

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,000
in every single news story that
bounces through.

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,480
Even though it's a slaughtering
of people, 'cause we're, you

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,000
know, they're still slaughtering
people in Gaza, They're still,

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,400
they're doing it in the Sudan,
they're doing it, we're doing it

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,560
here within.
Myanmar.

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,320
You know, Myanmar, yeah, it's
over and over and over.

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,320
So we're seeing all that.
Yeah, yeah.

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Sorry to interrupt, but I was
just thinking, yeah, no, the the

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,160
way that we have become so
obsessed with geopolitical

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,560
issues and that's what allocates
a vote for a president is so

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,320
interesting.
Well, I think you know, I think

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,720
I think the reason is, is
because ice cream was invented

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,000
in 500 BC, early frozen treats
where snow was collected and

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,960
mixed with grape juice or fruit
flavors.

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,560
No way. 500 BC in Persia.
That is not what I.

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,800
Thought.
Which is what?

41
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,120
Oh, so we have a beginning here.
So ice cream in Iran actually do

42
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,680
have a connection.
Later China reports suggest

43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,600
frozen combinations of milk,
rice and spices and 200 BC.

44
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,160
And then of course we had 1st
century AD, the flavored snow

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,240
with fruit and juice.
Tang dynasty, the birth of the

46
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:50,000
creamy desserts, came along in
1560s in Europe, Italy, when we

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,360
started mixing salt with it.
And you know what I'm thinking?

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,480
About rosewater You ever have
rosewater ice cream?

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,560
No, that's.
Oh my God, it's.

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,080
Nasty.
So good.

51
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,480
So, so, you know, so refreshing.
And I think that's Persian as

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,000
well.
OK, this is this is kind of sad.

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,400
First time in the US in Maryland
in 1744.

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280
That's the first written account
in American Colony, 1740.

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Four, we were kind of late.
We were kind of late, yeah.

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,440
I mean, GW and Thomas Jefferson
popularized ice cream in the

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,880
1800s, which seems a little odd
because I think they were all

58
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,520
dead.
Why did?

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,080
They.
Yeah, yeah.

60
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,920
The artificial freezer came
along in 1843.

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,280
That helped the production
process.

62
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:40,320
Commercial ice cream factory in
Bomber Baltimore in 1851 we had

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:48,680
nineteen O 4 the waffle cone and
then 1920s to 1940s prohibition

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200
led to rise in soda fountains
and post War Two home

65
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,280
refrigeration makes ice cream a
mass market wholesale item.

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,800
The cone myth.
While many people think America

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320
invented it, it's actually an
English invention.

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Oldest company Bassett's ice
cream in Philadelphia founded in

69
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,600
1861.
Vanilla is the most popular.

70
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Older historical flavors include
Oh my God rose water.

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,720
There you go Boulder and
pistachio. 2 shitty flavors and

72
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,360
1 semi good.
I like pistachio.

73
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,600
I didn't like it when I was a
kid.

74
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,760
I didn't like it then, but I got
to say when I was a kid what

75
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,360
what was the first one I ever
ate?

76
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,760
It was like mango sorbet from
Haagen Dazs.

77
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,800
That was the first one ever and
I think he gave it to me when I

78
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,640
was like 5 and I was like this
is great.

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,720
This is.
What would feed you dog ice

80
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,760
cream up until you're like 7?
Yeah, exactly.

81
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Cups, we'd put them on the floor
in there.

82
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,600
And the pub cups, yeah.
Yeah, and you'd climb over there

83
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,360
on your knees and.
You kicked me.

84
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Yeah, it went mad.
I saw those, those baby videos

85
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,240
the mom sent me.
You see those?

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,920
What?
Where did you get the VHS tapes

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,200
for that?
Oh, he's going through baby

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,360
footage of me.
I think we stole them at the

89
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,880
from block blockbuster that's
just starting out that.

90
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,400
'D be kind of funny if it's like
you could overlay an audio and

91
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,400
just show your kid and you'll be
like that's you when you were a

92
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,320
baby because nobody knows what
they remember, like what they

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,240
look like, you know I mean, and
you could just show it one baby

94
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,680
video and overlay the audio.
I think you'd be like that's

95
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
you.
And they say, Oh well, whatever,

96
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,200
whatever.
This, you know?

97
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,040
You know, when you think about
old civilizations, you don't

98
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,960
think about ice cream.
You think more about Iran and

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080
one of the world's oldest
continuous civilizations with

100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:45,760
urban settlements, urban dating
back to 4000 BC.

101
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
That's 6000 years ago.
That's wild.

102
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,920
That's that's the Persian
Empire, you know.

103
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,040
I think you just go on
perplexity you just read

104
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,920
yourself.
Well, you read it, but you also

105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,200
got to take it with a grain of
salt because some of it seems a

106
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,360
little stupid.
A lot of it's made-up, yeah.

107
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,160
Yeah, well, when I look at when
I look at the statement about

108
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,640
Washington and Jeff.
Biden, 1799.

109
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,680
So how is he instrumental in the
1800s?

110
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,040
That makes no sense.
I mean, maybe if they were

111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,240
reading his books about ice
cream?

112
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,200
I have no idea.
That just seems kind of like but

113
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,880
did.
George Washington write a book

114
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,320
about ice cream like I don't
know how that.

115
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,720
Is No, he didn't.
It's all silly, you know, we,

116
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,880
we, we look at what's going on.
I mean, wait.

117
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Let's see.
Well, that's how they're going

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,600
to redo all the history.
They're just going to start

119
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240
saying things and then retaking
it down when they're wrong.

120
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
And then you can just
reformulate anything you want.

121
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,600
Yeah.
As long as it's good news about

122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
white people.
Exactly.

123
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Well, that's what it seems like
because.

124
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,960
And I think always had the.
Eurocentric map.

125
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,680
Oh, George Washington was a
major ice cream enthusiast who

126
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:53,160
spent approximately $200, about
$5000 today on the treat during

127
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,360
the summer of 1790.
He owns specialized equipment,

128
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,680
including pewter and tin molds
to serve it at Mount Vernon and

129
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,840
during his presidency.
So that's crazy.

130
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,960
Actually, that's great.
He spent $5000.

131
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Your tax dollars at work, man.
Served me ice cream well.

132
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,560
He was like, I don't want to be
a king, I don't want to be ahead

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,320
of all these people, but just
fucking give me 5 grand so I

134
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,200
could be king of ice cream.
Ice cream King.

135
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,680
No, no, he, he was smarter.
He, he, I agree with you that,

136
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
that he was like, but he never
said give me 5 grand.

137
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,800
What he did do is he said you
agree to pay all my expenses.

138
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,160
That was the thing about that
Washington.

139
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,320
Yeah.
And, and, and the what is it?

140
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880
The Revolutionary War.
They, they, he said he didn't

141
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,480
want a salary because they're
like, we won't put you on a

142
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,080
salary.
Yeah, you don't do that.

143
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,560
I'm doing it for myself.
And, and he was the one that he

144
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,320
needed like six horses a day.
And he had, you know, like 19

145
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,680
meals and he had all this stuff
and, and it cost just incredible

146
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,480
amounts of money on.
I mean, he was like the ultimate

147
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,400
original grifter was that, that
he was just like Takey, Takey,

148
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,200
Takey, Takey, Takey.
No, no, no, no, I don't want a

149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,800
salary.
And you go like, well, where

150
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,000
have we heard that?
I'm not getting a salary.

151
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,400
I'm just making $3 billion a
year off of what I can steal

152
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,840
through crypto.
They didn't have crypto back

153
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,360
then, so they had to.
And they didn't have taxing.

154
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,400
So the government just had to
figure out a way to pay or they

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,040
did have some tax.
Yeah, they did have tax, I

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,040
think.
It's kind of crazy that we let a

157
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,400
president do a crypto rug pull.
That's kind of wild.

158
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,000
You know, I was thinking about
that and there's an interview

159
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,559
with Charlie Kirk, actually.
And it's like, So what do you

160
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,600
think?
Is it?

161
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Is it before?
Is it?

162
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,240
Is it before his death or after?
This was before surprising.

163
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,480
OK, just check and just check.
So he was talking to this guy,

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,360
'cause you know the turning
point USA, they always invite

165
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,520
people up there, then they crop
all the videos to make them look

166
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,920
like shit.
And then you, you have all the

167
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,320
people that just don't know
anything.

168
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,520
Go up there and talk.
They target the people they let

169
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,520
go up there too.
Well, they added it and they cut

170
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,120
it out.
That's really what what it is.

171
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,920
But they were talking and it was
like, what do you think about

172
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,160
Donald Trump doing a crypto rug
poll thing with Trump Coin?

173
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:04,840
And he's like, oh, I don't
really care.

174
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,720
And I'm like, then what?
What do you care about?

175
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,720
Like I don't understand, like
how you can't hold the person,

176
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680
the leader of the free world,
accountable for moral and

177
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:15,680
ethical clauses.
Like I don't know what that is.

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,920
He's like, but he wasn't
president.

179
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,640
And I'm like, but he was running
for president.

180
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040
I don't understand.
And he was already president

181
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,040
before.
So I don't understand.

182
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,320
You know, it's just, well, it's
the same thing where he was

183
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,320
talking about like, if his
daughter had been sexually

184
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,120
assaulted, would he force her to
have the baby?

185
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,560
He said, yeah.
And it's like, and this is

186
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:37,320
somebody that the entire
Republican side of the

187
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,640
government was like, we are for
this man.

188
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,680
And I think that's so funny.
Yeah, things are very

189
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,200
interesting.
I think what they do is they

190
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,680
there's a there's a discounting
on things that are negative just

191
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,200
like that.
I mean, on, on the on the on the

192
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,720
left, it's the same thing.
You discount.

193
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,400
Oh yeah, Biden's not really
doesn't have dementia.

194
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,440
He's just not really slower.
But then you see him in life,

195
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,320
you know, like, yeah, he's
really.

196
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,760
Slower.
You know, so you, you see those

197
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,560
kind of things.
The question is, is that can you

198
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:08,240
equate?
What happens is, is that we have

199
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,760
this line of how we equate
things that where where I can't

200
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280
really write very good because
I'm not, you know, the line goes

201
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,680
up this way.
And it's like, OK, if I murder

202
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:24,480
one person or I drop a bomb and
it kills one kid and you drop

203
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,080
thousands of bombs and kill
thousands of kids day after day

204
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,920
after day, we're both murderers,
right?

205
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,560
Yeah.
But are they the same?

206
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
No, no.
See, I don't, I don't think

207
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,600
they're the same.
And I think that there's there's

208
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,240
degrees and I think that that
degrees and that nuance is what

209
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,360
gets lost when people try to
compare.

210
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,480
And if you're comparing against
the subject that I believe one

211
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,640
side of you, I will, I will
discount what you say by saying

212
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,560
that, well, if you say something
bad about my side, I'll say,

213
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:58,920
well, my, your side does it too,
you know, And it's like a, yeah,

214
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280
you, you killed one person.
I killed 300,000.

215
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,920
What's the big deal?
You, you, you, you wasted a, you

216
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400
wasted $10 million in tax
dollars.

217
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,720
I wasted 100 billion.
You see, you do it too.

218
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,520
You know, when you're like,
well, that's, that's come on.

219
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:20,360
That's not that's what do you
call it disingenuous, lying

220
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,760
bullshit, trying to justify
things that you think are right

221
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,920
and when they're not, you know
there's a.

222
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Moral or ethical baseline for
anything anymore?

223
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,440
Is it like there there's no I
think that that's why people are

224
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,520
suffering with derealization and
this this ongoing depression.

225
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,600
It's because one, everything is
not what you thought it was and

226
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,920
all of these people that it's a
top down issue and you still

227
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120
have these people that are
saying, oh, it's a cultural

228
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,560
issue in the US and these
illegal immigrants are changing

229
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,000
everything.
And with the illegal immigrants

230
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,520
didn't take all the colors off
the building at McDonald's and

231
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,600
make it a square or you know,
like the, you know, they didn't.

232
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Corporate minimalism has been
destroying American character

233
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,320
for a long time for.
They were not, they were not

234
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,200
forced to move manufacturing
overseas.

235
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,040
No, exactly.
Microsoft spends is it, I think

236
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:20,040
it was $60 billion a year, a
year in China training the

237
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,600
workforce.
They have 6000 people there.

238
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:27,080
I mean, we, we talk about
unemployment and stuff and these

239
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,440
guys are and they're taking tax
dollars for that and they're

240
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,720
like they're, you know, and you
think to yourself like that's

241
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,000
bigger than any program we've
ever launched or ever had.

242
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,320
These guys are just, it's just
crazy.

243
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,160
And that's a year.
Not, not, not not like five

244
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,600
years.
So you talk about General

245
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Motors, you know, like I don't.
Know like they, they employ and

246
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,680
they train.
They have huge divisional

247
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,640
training plants over there where
they train the people to do what

248
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,200
they want.
The difference is, is that they

249
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,200
don't have unions and they can
do whatever they want to the

250
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,120
worker.
And I think that The thing is,

251
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,760
is in the US, we, you know,
we're, we're now trying to crap

252
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,640
on the unions again because
they're starting to come back,

253
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,000
because people are like the poor
people realize that unless

254
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,160
there's, you know, two or three
of us together, no one's

255
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760
listening.
It's, it's OK to kill one of us

256
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,160
anytime you want.
It's OK to have to dump shit in

257
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,160
the water and wipe out the poor
people's neighborhoods.

258
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,640
As long as you don't touch the
rich people.

259
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,880
And it's OK to, it's OK to do
all these things provided.

260
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,640
But once the poor people get
together and they start to have

261
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,960
a voice, then you start to see
people go, oh, oh, you know, and

262
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,280
then the whole idea, hey, just
point at one rich person that

263
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,280
says it's a bad thing and say,
hey, well, you should give all

264
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,160
your money up.
And it's like, that's not how

265
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,760
society works.
Society can't work by one person

266
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,360
funding it just because one
person says something.

267
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,400
It has to be, it has to be the
majority.

268
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,400
It has to be, you know, a, a, a,
A at least a controlling

269
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,240
minority has to come together
that says we need to change

270
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,600
things.
And the the problem is, is that

271
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,560
you know they're, they don't.
People are willing to lay down

272
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,920
and die for the rest of the time
that this country is going to

273
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,000
exist.
I feel like because at the same

274
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,240
time too, there's such a
stranglehold on voting and ever

275
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120
since Citizens United in this
country, I don't think it's ever

276
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,080
mattered.
Since then opinion, I don't

277
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200
think it's mattered.
And I don't know, it's just it's

278
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,240
really about the war chest and
how much money you can generate.

279
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,080
But at the same time too, you
see such randomized kind of

280
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,000
patterns that it's like, I don't
even know if it's realistically.

281
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,320
They were.
They were.

282
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,440
I saw something on Senate
running, being a senator, that

283
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,120
senator or House member, House
member, 78% of your time, 78%,

284
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,280
that's almost 80%.
That's almost, you know, that's

285
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:53,240
more than 3/4 of your time is
spent raising money, not not

286
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,520
helping your constituents, not
talking about what they need

287
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,320
done, not about, you know,
focusing on legislation, not

288
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,960
about reading legislation,
proposing legislation that will

289
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,960
change the the world to be
making a better place for your

290
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,120
constituents.
No, it's about raising money to

291
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,080
get re elected.
And you start to look at the

292
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,360
people that go in and get
elected.

293
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,720
It's like financially, you know,
you make $1.60 a 160,000, which

294
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,360
everybody goes that's great.
Well, in in Virginia or in

295
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Northern Virginia, that's not,
that's not wonderful.

296
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,760
That's, that's a place you could
buy a house, you can live and

297
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960
you can survive and you could do
things with your family and

298
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,440
stuff like that.
But if you're, but if you have a

299
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,880
constituency that's in Arkansas,
you have to have a house there

300
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,520
and then you have to travel back
and forth all the time.

301
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,920
And now I don't know how they
travel.

302
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,840
I don't know what the money is.
I don't know what the things

303
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,880
are.
And I don't know how it's paid

304
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,280
for in the per diem and all the
kind of stuff like that.

305
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:52,080
But then there's also the the
idea that you can you you can

306
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,640
you get information before other
people do.

307
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,440
You could actually buy stocks in
the market with non public

308
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,880
information.
That's it's a violation for the

309
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,400
laws for you and I, but not for
Congress, which makes.

310
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,720
No sense that makes sense.
Yeah, well, the the weird thing

311
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,240
about which I think should be
something changed is that

312
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,800
Congress's infamous for voting
on laws that apply to society.

313
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,240
Except, and the exception is
always Congress and you know,

314
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,040
like they have a separate
pension plan, they have a

315
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,320
separate healthcare plan, and
they have all these different

316
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600
separate things for the rest of
society.

317
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480
And I think that's, that's,
that's a problem in our

318
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,280
government.
You know, those are the kind of

319
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,440
things that, that should not be
in place.

320
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,960
Those are the things that should
be taken away.

321
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,880
We, we don't, but it's hard, you
know, if you're, if you're

322
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,280
paying me, if I'm making
$1,000,000 a year cheating the

323
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,320
stock market and I'm morally OK
with that and you try to take it

324
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,480
away from me.
I'm, I'm, I'm and I'm unwilling

325
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,160
to give it up because I have all
these free perks that allow me

326
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,040
to get re elected.
And that's why people get re

327
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,360
elected over and over and over.
And you know, some of them are

328
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,760
pudding heads.
They're not, they're, they're,

329
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,040
they're, they're good oritators
and they're good at grabbing a

330
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,480
cute, a few divisive issues that
they throw out there that make

331
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:15,640
one side hate the other side,
you know, hate taxes, hate this,

332
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,319
hate that, you know, we're going
to take $20 from the tax.

333
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,599
You're not, you're not going to
pay your car tax anymore.

334
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,040
And it's like, well, yeah, you
are.

335
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,119
You know, it, it, it, it comes
down to spending.

336
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,160
If you're, if, if you're going
to spend things, you're going to

337
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,120
need to make money somehow
somewhere.

338
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:32,760
And if you're going to spend it
on your local government, your

339
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,680
local government is going to
have to figure out a way to pay

340
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,440
for it.
And they're going to pay more

341
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720
and more on the backs of the
people at the bottom.

342
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,080
And sadly, you know, it's not a,
it's not a distributed thing.

343
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:47,160
You know when you.
Look at what was your favorite

344
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,400
ice cream that you've ever
eaten?

345
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,120
That's my question.
When I was a kid.

346
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,080
Yeah.
It has to be butter brickle.

347
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,600
Really.
Still.

348
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:58,680
You know we make that one.
Kid A peanut butter.

349
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,880
Was a kid.
Yeah.

350
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,160
It's like, it's kind of like
peanut brittle with crunchy

351
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,320
vanilla ice cream.
Good vanilla ice cream.

352
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,880
Didn't we?
I remember eating that with you

353
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,880
one time.
Where was that?

354
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Do you remember?
I do not.

355
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,640
Was it Nielsen's before it went
under?

356
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,760
Yeah, it might have been that or
the Rexall drug store in Vienna

357
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:17,720
that.
Yeah, maybe, Neil.

358
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,040
I think it was Nielsen's.
The Custer was so good that you

359
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,360
remember that.
Where did they go?

360
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,840
They never relocated, did they?
Are you talking the frozen

361
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,800
Custer places since like 49?
Well, they went into a really

362
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,800
new fancy shop and they have one
there and they had another.

363
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:34,120
Oh, they do have one.
It wasn't as good.

364
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,440
And then they have a the
Nielsen's they move because the

365
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,800
thing was so loud.
And I mean, it's good, but it's

366
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,880
it's expensive and it's like we
just went to Brewster's right

367
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,240
downtown Vienna.
I had a medium ice cream.

368
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Your mother had a small $15.75,
so 20 bucks.

369
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,400
What's future?
Going under, man, let's do ice

370
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,320
cream, I mean.
For me it's like whatever, but

371
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:05,280
but it's like.
You are not the rest of the

372
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:05,960
world.
Yeah.

373
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,280
I'm not.
I'm not in that.

374
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,080
I'm not in the economic status
of them.

375
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,960
So it's sort of like but but I
was and and and coming to.

376
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,040
California, it's even worse.
It's even.

377
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,280
You know, it was a long time
ago.

378
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,400
I still, I still have this
really stupid thing called

379
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400
empathy that I'm trying to kill,
but I can't.

380
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Where, you know, you care that
you see people that have a whole

381
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,320
lot less and you feel like, you
know, if we could get more of a

382
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,600
sharing mentality in the world
and or even in the States that

383
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,080
it's like from the from the
upper end, because it's, it

384
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:47,000
surprises me by the number of
people I know that have more

385
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,440
money than they will ever spend
in their life.

386
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:56,400
Yet their charity giving is, I
would say, less than optimal.

387
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240
Thomas Hobbes, man, I'm telling
you, people are inherently

388
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,680
greedy and they're inherently
evil.

389
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,280
And I'm that's OK.
I completely agree with that.

390
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,480
And we're seeing that now more
than ever.

391
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,400
We're seeing that moral and
ethical baselines that existed

392
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:15,120
or what we thought existed in O8
never really accentuated or

393
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,280
never really kind of existed at
all.

394
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,440
And I don't know, maybe they
did.

395
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,800
Maybe it was the idea that they
could exist and that's what we

396
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,600
loved.
But now.

397
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,360
I know we have the government
jumping in and saying, hey,

398
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,840
let's go after another war.
I mean, why are we?

399
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,040
Why are we attacking Iran?
It seems like a distraction to

400
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,000
be honest.
I mean.

401
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,320
What just happened?
I mean, it's like, oh, they,

402
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,280
they hurt their people.
And it's like, well, you know,

403
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,200
we're incarcerating people here,
too.

404
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,800
We incarcerated 34, no, 172
Americans last year.

405
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,400
We incarcerate them without due
process.

406
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:58,600
We 34 people died in prisons in,
in ICE prisons specifically, not

407
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,280
in prisons across the land.
And you know, the, the, the

408
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,520
explanations are less than good.
And they just had the guy die

409
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,600
the other day that he was, he
was blind.

410
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,840
And they dumped them off, I
think it was in Buffalo or

411
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,040
whatever.
And they dumped them off at a

412
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,960
closed coffee shop at night.
And he had, and he had slippers

413
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,280
on and he had socks, but he had
the, the, you know, the little

414
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:34,520
scrunchies and he had a light
jacket and it's not 15 inches.

415
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,360
And he wound up dead.
And you think to yourself like

416
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,160
the just just just the absolute,
we don't care.

417
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Well, I just don't understand
how you can endorse A presidency

418
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,520
that runs on cruelty, because
it's not even like I understand

419
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,880
that Obama was a war monger.
I understand that.

420
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:56,960
I understand that he bombed a
lot of people, but he never

421
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,720
avidly said let's bomb these
people.

422
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,960
You know, he never looked in
internally at his own people and

423
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,720
said, you know what, those who
are even naturalized citizens

424
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,000
are no longer citizens in well,
they did bomb here and that they

425
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,240
say that now.
And that's.

426
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,120
Crazy.
They openly say it.

427
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,560
And I think the difference is,
is that, I mean, he was over

428
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,080
there and I remember the things
that I thought were horrible

429
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:28,120
were where is it?
It's, it's, it's, I can't

430
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:31,280
remember the place.
It's not Iran, but it's very,

431
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,400
very Iran, but it's not a not,
not very close there.

432
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,760
And I can't remember the name of
it.

433
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:43,040
And that they changed what enemy
combatants were because there

434
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,720
were too many individuals dying
and, and, and, and at that time

435
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:53,320
in any combatant was of, of age
person 18 year older that was

436
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,760
killed, you know, so if you drop
the bomb on me at this place and

437
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,200
you were killed and, and 19
other kids that were 18192025

438
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,240
women didn't matter.
They were enemy combatants.

439
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:11,520
But if there were a school full
of children downstairs, they

440
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,360
were under 18.
They were considered a

441
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,040
collateral damage and they were
counted as like you killed

442
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,200
civilians.
Well, they move the age, I think

443
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080
it got to 16 and I think they
moved it down to 12.

444
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,160
And so that if you now, if you
kill people that are over 12,

445
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,560
that that's, that's OK, you
know, But you got to say to

446
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,040
yourself, you know, this goes
back to the whole Clinton thing

447
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,520
where, you know, he had a chance
to blow up Osama bin Laden, but

448
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,320
he wouldn't blow up the whole
house because he was going to

449
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:49,880
kill like 35 or 40 people that
were family members, you know,

450
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,960
And it's like.
I always wondered if we ever

451
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,640
really got them, you know, or
that was just a projected

452
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,560
identity for America at the
time.

453
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,840
You know, we may have gotten
them, we may have gotten them

454
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,840
like five years ago or 10 years
ago.

455
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,200
And then that was just, well, we
need a new, we need a new enemy.

456
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Because he'd stop speaking for
most two years prior to them

457
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040
catching them.
And they did catch them in

458
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Pakistan, which is very weird
because they were a friend of

459
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:19,960
ours and he was in the compound
like 3 miles from their military

460
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,000
bases in Islamabad.
So there there was, they knew,

461
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,240
they knew he was there.
They knew he was there.

462
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,160
And.
Then we have a culture that's

463
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,800
just based on the fear of its
own citizens towards an exterior

464
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,080
kind of culture outside we're.
Going to We're going to.

465
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,160
Patriotism and xenophobia are
very, very tied together.

466
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,840
We're going to fall internally,
we're not going to fall

467
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,600
externally.
No one's going to come to our

468
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:46,440
show.
No.

469
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,280
Way and land tanks and start
shooting people because

470
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,440
everybody then is going to have
a common very clear enemy that

471
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,200
they could shoot at.
And, and just like when we went

472
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,440
to Afghanistan, just like when
we went to Iraq, just like, just

473
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,880
like now we're going to Iran,
whether you believe it or not,

474
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,480
there's, there's population
there that wanted to change to

475
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,000
be wonderful and everything.
But there's a whole lot of

476
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,320
people there that don't.
And those people have weapons.

477
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,800
And when you come in with your
Whitey, tighty face and say,

478
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,880
we're going to change
everything, they're going to

479
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,520
shoot you because their whole
life they've been watching what

480
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,840
you've done to other countries.
I mean, we just went to

481
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,320
Venezuela and we grabbed the guy
that was in charge and we

482
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,680
brought him.
I mean, really we're, we're, we

483
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,960
have no high horse to stand on
anymore.

484
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,480
And I don't, I don't, I don't
understand this whole idea of

485
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,560
going into Iran.
I think that it it's we might

486
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,400
get.
Blasted off the map for this.

487
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,400
It's short, it's very, very,
very short sighted.

488
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,720
It's a very stupid move.
I it's a, it's a heavy gamble

489
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,440
for what?
I don't know.

490
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,960
What are we going to do?
We're going to get him to the

491
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,800
bargaining table where he was 15
years ago.

492
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,560
You know, remember Ron signed a,
signed a non proliferation

493
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,160
agreement with us in 2015 under
Obama.

494
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,600
And as soon as Trump came in, he
killed it.

495
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,800
We'd already paid for it.
We paid for it with their money.

496
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,760
We gave them $27 billion that
we'd frozen their assets.

497
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,200
We gave it back to them.
And he killed the treaty and

498
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,840
never got the money back.
So they got the money and never

499
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,800
had to do it.
And then they never enriched it

500
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,400
to the point and, and every
single advisor that was there

501
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,120
never, never said it's, it's not
close.

502
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:32,240
They're, they're not, they're
building it for nuclear energy.

503
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,720
They want nuclear energy.
They want because, you know,

504
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,640
it's cheaper, it's more
distributed across the whole

505
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,720
country.
And, you know, there's all these

506
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:46,520
reasons behind wanting to have
nuclear power and whether it's

507
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,840
hydropower, whether it's
electric, you know, whatever the

508
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,200
case may be, because it's
cheaper in the long run.

509
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,920
And they had the scientists and
we went after it, you know.

510
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,320
But we've, you know, it, it, it,
I don't.

511
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,960
It seems to me that this is
wholly driven by what Israel

512
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,640
wants and also what will create
a diversion here at the USI

513
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,040
don't I don't see it as I don't
see it as an advantage in

514
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,360
politics.
You know, if you want to just

515
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,640
cut and chase and say what do we
gain out of this?

516
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,680
I don't think we gain anything.
I think we only lose and if we

517
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,880
think just like Rumsfeld said,
as soon as we come in there, all

518
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,720
the, all the people are going to
come forward and, and, and

519
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,480
they're going to give up and
they're going to love us and lay

520
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,160
down their arms.
And no, that's not going to

521
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,840
happen.
It's going to be the same thing

522
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,880
as it was in Afghanistan, the
same thing that it wasn't in, in

523
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,200
every other war we fought just
like what we thought, nor nor in

524
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,680
in, in in Vietnam.
We lost.

525
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,440
We lost in Vietnam.
No way.

526
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,880
We keep losing because we keep
doing the same stupid shit.

527
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:59,200
We can't, we can't beat them in
a traditional war unless we kill

528
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,720
everyone.
And we are not willing to kill

529
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,400
everyone because then what's the
point?

530
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,480
You know?
We will not.

531
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,040
You know, the only way you're
going to change a lot of

532
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,960
people's minds is to kill them.
You know, and it's like we're,

533
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,920
we're not going to do that.
And this whole idea, we're going

534
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,600
to bomb them down the glass.
I've heard that.

535
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,240
I'm going like we, we've said
that before.

536
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,160
We said that in the last two
wars that lasted 20 years and

537
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,400
cost what, 5 trillion in debt,
we're going to add another 2

538
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,320
trillion.
We're going to break our

539
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,040
currency and our bank on this if
we continue on this path.

540
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,360
The idea that we need over a
trillion dollar defense budget,

541
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,360
which is a war budget.
It's like this is this is how

542
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,120
Russia crashed.
I mean, we even you can look at

543
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,680
the history that they could not
afford to feed their people,

544
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,240
which we can't.
And they took the money and we

545
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,280
took away $86 billion from from
SNAP.

546
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,960
We cut people off of Medicaid
and we're raising, we're raising

547
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,720
the Department of war or defense
by whatever amount.

548
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,680
And you're like, and it's going
to be over a trillion this year.

549
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,360
And it's like, what?
What?

550
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,440
We're back to where we started.
We're taking food out of out of

551
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,880
kids.
We're we kill the school lunch

552
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,680
program so we can have another
missile.

553
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,680
I mean, really.
I like how kids don't deserve to

554
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,640
eat.
I think that that's interesting.

555
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,600
I really think that that's
interesting too.

556
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,120
When you talk to people about
these issues and it's like, no,

557
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,520
like that's a a socialist
behavior.

558
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,760
And I'm like, well, you take
away the socialist kind of

559
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,440
label, right?
Take that away just for just one

560
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,520
second.
It's a child eating.

561
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,800
It's a child eating that doesn't
have access to food.

562
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,440
And then people so famously say,
well, we have an obesity

563
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,880
epidemic in the US, this, that
or the other.

564
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,160
I'm like, don't you think we
have an obesity epidemic because

565
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640
of what is affordable in this?
Your, your your children aren't

566
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,240
my problem.
Exactly.

567
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,400
It's very selfish.
To me and you're like.

568
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,400
And this is what I was going to
say too about.

569
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,840
Society.
We're we're well, that's

570
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,280
socialism.
And when I hear that, I'm

571
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,480
thinking like, you mean the
police force or like the

572
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,640
military?
Mean like in China where they

573
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:15,560
build 15 new bridges a day and
98% of Chinese citizens own

574
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,680
their own home.
And then people say, oh, they

575
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,360
don't really own their own home.
It's an 89 year land lease and

576
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,920
like, you're gonna live 89
years.

577
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,760
Oh, you're going to live 89
years?

578
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,880
Oh, that's Britain.
That's the same thing.

579
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,240
Oh yeah, they all do.
They all do.

580
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,440
No, it's just like, well, I'm
saying that this is the American

581
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,120
point of view over oh, they
don't really own their own home,

582
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,360
but they do.
They do.

583
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,240
And so it's like, do you think I
don't know?

584
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,120
Are being willfully stupid.
Willfully.

585
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,920
No.
I think it's an identity issue.

586
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,400
I think it's an identity issue
that's immersed in the lack of

587
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,080
education in this country.
I think that's what it is.

588
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,760
I mean, we are, we are talking
average 6th grade.

589
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,480
So you know these guys aren't
reading Chaucer.

590
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,440
You know they're.
Well, Hunter S Thompson said it

591
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,960
the best in such an eloquent way
and he said I don't know when

592
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,600
Americans are going to wake up
and realize there were a bunch

593
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,440
of used car salesman that are
ready to kill anybody that makes

594
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,400
us feel uncomfortable.
And I completely agree with

595
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,200
that.
I I mean, is there anything

596
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,240
that's more?
Bombing the drug, bombing the

597
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,440
drug boats.
And you're thinking like, well,

598
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,680
how do we know the drug boats?
I mean, see, we've always had

599
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,840
this.
I mean, drugs that we, not we, I

600
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,040
have always had this idea about
the rule of law and about

601
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,320
fairness and equity and
everything like that.

602
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:29,240
And it just seems as though that
scale has changed dramatically.

603
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,520
It is harder and harder for me
to have feelings everyday.

604
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:38,000
If you look like you're
something then then I can I can

605
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,640
take action against what I think
that you are and that is a scary

606
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,920
time.
Well you know Zach, look at me

607
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,000
wrong.
So I put 3 bullets in his

608
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,880
forehead.
That's OK you know, cuz he is

609
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,040
brown.
You know his last name's Brown,

610
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,240
so that's close enough.
You know, you think of an old

611
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,760
George Floyd thing where it was
like we met that woman in Sicily

612
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,360
at the ruin and before you, you
were like, my name's Phil.

613
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,200
And then she said I moved out of
New York to Pennsylvania because

614
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,680
they made that drug addict
George Floyd statue instead of

615
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,360
Lincoln.
They tore down the Lincoln one

616
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,920
and they put up.
They didn't tear down Lincoln.

617
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,720
That's what she said though, is
what I'm saying is what she

618
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,040
said.
And she said this before even

619
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,680
introducing her own name.
And I'm like, my God, you can

620
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,720
identify an American anywhere in
the world like this.

621
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Before her own name, she was mad
about a statue four years ago,

622
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,480
three years ago at this point.
And I, I don't know, I think

623
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,960
something to to that you said to
her was, well, even if he was a

624
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,680
drug addict, he deserved to die.
I mean, like that's that's kind

625
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,040
of where I go with that every
time.

626
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,720
It's like, so you're a so you
deserve to die.

627
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,800
I mean, it's written in the
Constitution that I mean, what

628
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,800
is it A?
Jury And then once once you're

629
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,680
asked that question, what
happens is, well, look what

630
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,960
Obama did.
You know it's not an you won't

631
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,920
get a straight answer.
And that that's usually the

632
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:04,160
problem.
There's no acceptance of or

633
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,560
value or being able to say that
you're wrong there that that's

634
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,920
just impossible for any sort of
American to say that they're

635
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,040
wrong.
Doesn't matter bipartisan you

636
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,160
neither or.
But no, it's a, it's a, it's a.

637
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,800
Very.
And it's, you know, and

638
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,920
everything is is is truly
everything.

639
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:30,240
Every single thing that the
right does, the left does too

640
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,320
now.
And every single thing that the

641
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:39,280
left does, the right does that
the thing that that is and that

642
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,920
people seem to always have this
argument over is the degrees.

643
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,440
You know, it's the degrees of
helping.

644
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,240
It's the degrees of killing
people.

645
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,640
It's the degree and, and it's
all and, and, and sadly, it's

646
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,400
all the nuance.
And the nuance is we don't take,

647
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,400
you know, nuance doesn't go into
a sound bite, unfortunately.

648
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,520
Oh, that was good.
I like that.

649
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,520
You can't.
You can't.

650
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,400
You can't sell nuance in a sound
bite.

651
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,560
It just doesn't work.
You need you need to say we we

652
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,520
hate him here.
We're taking about way the car

653
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,440
tax now we're doing this
something simple, very direct

654
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:23,280
and it's like, well, well, if
you take away 100 million from

655
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,960
this side and you don't cut
expenses, well how you going to

656
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,600
pay for it?
And then what about Obama?

657
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:39,719
Cotton candy gummy bear when I
was a kid at Marinco's in

658
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,560
McLean, VA.
That was amazing.

659
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,719
Because if not, and some people
out there, I know you're

660
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,480
listening.
That's too sweet.

661
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,800
That's too sweet of an ice
cream.

662
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,440
Surprisingly not in a frozen
gummy bear.

663
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,880
Have you mind the texture?
It doesn't kind of do that thing

664
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,600
where like cheese right where
you have it kind of like grated

665
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,720
off.
No, it's just chewier.

666
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:04,200
It's just a chewier gummy bear
and cotton candy gummy bear.

667
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,320
Man, if I could eat that one
more time.

668
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:09,200
I, I think that they, I don't
know if they make cotton candy

669
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,240
like that anymore because they
went to what was it in store

670
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:15,400
selling for points.
They, they got rid of the store

671
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,360
because I think it's $10,000 a
month in rent or something in

672
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,200
2012.
Like it's crazy.

673
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,480
And they got rid of the store
and then they started doing

674
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:30,800
localized small store supplier.
They became a supplier, right?

675
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,400
There was a lady in Woodbridge
when I was growing up and I

676
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,280
think I was like 9 years old,
and we would go up there at

677
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,960
highs and it was $0.35 for a
double dip.

678
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,560
It was $0.25 for a single and 37
total.

679
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,800
That's how I still remember
that.

680
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,240
And I'd go get double dip ice
cream, butter pecan, and on a

681
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:55,720
hot day, it was crazy.
And I did this probably off and

682
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,960
on for two years.
She's a wonderful person.

683
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:05,000
We went in there and stole candy
and we got caught and then she

684
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,280
told me I could never get ice
cream there anymore.

685
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,680
And that was like, that's one of
those lessons that, hey, you

686
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,880
got, you ate, you stole, you
slapped, you know, and I didn't

687
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,120
steal right away.
And, and I and I could certainly

688
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,600
blame other people, but I was
with them and I did it too.

689
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,720
So.
You know.

690
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:23,440
Yeah.
And I or I was the guard that

691
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,480
ordered the ice cream and the
other kid went in the back and

692
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,160
grabbed, you know, handfuls of
candy bars and stuff them in his

693
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,200
underwear or whatever it was.
Well, that's kind of.

694
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,880
Like the realization that one
your actions have consequences.

695
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,720
Yes it did, but at the.
Same time as a child you you

696
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:40,600
realize what a personal
relationship that you lost felt

697
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,040
like.
You know, it was it was so sad

698
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,320
because she was the be nicest
lady, heavyset lady, big giant

699
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,920
bouffant hair, you know, the
whole thing.

700
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:53,000
Just always a big smile, always
hello.

701
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,600
And then after that, she, you
know, you're no longer allowed

702
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,520
in my store.
And I was like, oh, man, I like

703
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,160
her.
She's she's nice to me.

704
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,160
And not many adults were nice to
me.

705
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,560
No.
No, exactly.

706
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,400
Because I always stole shit from
them.

707
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,640
That is an interesting idea to
talk about.

708
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,120
Or think about the first kind of
personal relationships that you

709
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,640
established, but you didn't
realize that it was a personal

710
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,720
relationship because you were
too young to realize.

711
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Right.
And I destroyed it.

712
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,880
Yeah, that happens.
And I, I've seen those, you

713
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,120
know, but there's others that
I've.

714
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,320
That you learn over time, you
know, you learn over time and

715
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,280
that's what you do.
Another ice cream that I'm

716
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,080
thinking about is the Halo Top
ice cream because people on

717
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,080
TikTok years ago, about a year
ago, maybe two years ago, I have

718
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,800
time blindness now because of
the Internet really bad.

719
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:47,680
And they were licking the top of
the ice cream and putting it

720
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,920
back on the shelf.
And then they had.

721
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,920
To lock.
I remember that.

722
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,480
They had to lock the ice cream
up in certain areas.

723
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,640
It was crazy.
Well, Haagen Dazs then put a

724
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,000
plastic top on it.
They've always had a plastic

725
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,920
top.
Yeah, they've always had the

726
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,640
plastic top, but then like Ben
and Jerry's didn't have one.

727
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,120
There's a bunch of other ones
that didn't so.

728
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,440
Ben and Jerry's didn't, yeah.
Haagen Dazs always has, Yeah.

729
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,880
Yeah, so you had that sealant so
people couldn't take a lick.

730
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:15,360
And that is, I mean, it's like
the memes when you see people

731
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,120
run in the back and take a crap
and run through and you're like.

732
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:21,600
Well, I knew we were screwed
when people during the pandemic

733
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,560
were saying it's just the flu.
Look at me.

734
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,600
And then they'd lick the toilet
seat on an airplane.

735
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,200
And I was like, what are you
trying to?

736
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,040
Prove that you're stupid and
disgusting.

737
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,360
You're trying to prove that you
have no brain cells.

738
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,280
I won't even poop on an airline
and I'm on there for 14 hours

739
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,800
and I'm just.
That's actually crazy that you

740
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,120
don't.
Oh my way back.

741
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,840
I made it back.
I made it back.

742
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,360
I thought you were going to die
on the airplane because your

743
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,720
heart rate was like 149 or
something, 100.

744
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:53,840
And 78.
There we go. close enough.

745
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,080
Yeah, Yeah.
It wouldn't read.

746
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,200
It wouldn't read.
It said it's over 150, It's over

747
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,200
150.
And I kept doing it.

748
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,440
It's like it's over 150 and I'm
going like I'm taking a nap.

749
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,280
Well, I think you ever think
about the amount?

750
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,680
Of my watch, I bought this
watch, I bought this Apple Watch

751
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,960
because it's got an EKG on it so
I can check it, you know, and

752
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:20,320
it's like now it starts going
dude, dude, dude, your heart's

753
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,480
going crazy.
What's going on and I'm like,

754
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,360
I'm asleep.
Well, I guess I'm not.

755
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,920
You ever think about just taking
the medication every day like a

756
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:31,160
normal person or no?
I did that for a while but the

757
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,960
it's this, I can't remember
what.

758
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,800
It is makes you tired.
That's what you said to me.

759
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,000
Yeah, it makes me not just
tired, weird tired.

760
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,480
Like 1:00 will come, I'll be
talking to mother and I'll be

761
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,600
like I got I got to lay down
just like what?

762
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,320
And and I won't even and when
she says what I won't even

763
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,000
respond.
I will just turn around, go up

764
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,080
the steps, take off whatever
clothes I can get off in 3

765
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,920
seconds or less.
Lay down.

766
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,160
Oh gosh, that's.
Crazy in a position like this

767
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,560
for at least 60 to 90 minutes.
Nope, no movement, nothing.

768
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,080
You know how you like you lay on
your side of your back and roll

769
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,600
and stuff to get comfortable No
and I just drop and sometimes I

770
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,120
close my eyes.
No, well, most time I close my

771
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:26,160
eyes, but I don't really go to
sleep and I'm just like, and

772
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,280
it's like I'm regenerating and I
regenerate and then OK and I'm

773
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,360
good and I go back down.
So like, whoa, that was.

774
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,520
Maybe it's just the onset of the
medication dissolving into your

775
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,640
blood, I don't know, it might
be.

776
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,120
Bad it it it's it's it's it's
it's really just and so I

777
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,400
stopped it when I stopped having
the the afib stuff.

778
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,760
So, you know, and I have it now,
but I have it like periodically

779
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,640
and I just, I just pop a couple
of the pills and then the heart

780
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,640
rate goes from, you know, 180
to.

781
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,080
Well, not getting blackout drunk
three days in a row might help

782
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:56,520
the.
Heart.

783
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,720
Yeah, there's a.
Little bit I don't know in my.

784
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,600
I I think in these studies it's
it's, it's not a correlation,

785
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:03,920
it's causation.
In the.

786
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Research if I drink I get afib
OK if I if I drink to excess if

787
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,440
I drink one or two drinks it
never happens.

788
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,760
But that's that's kind of a
rarity.

789
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,480
We either, you know, I'm either
I'm either lighting the stick of

790
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,880
dynamite and throwing it and and
then running to catch it and

791
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,720
then swallowing it and then they
go, woah, wonder why that hurt,

792
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,680
you know?
That was like the whole thing.

793
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,880
You know, what's funny is that
they always release these

794
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,840
studies that we already knew
about.

795
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,640
Yeah.
I remember there was this one

796
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,520
study about LSD years ago that
was like, if you the tolerance

797
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:47,600
for LSD is remarkably accrued
over a short amount of time.

798
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,280
Like even like day-to-day, like
you, it double s or triples.

799
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,520
Yeah.
And I was like, I could have

800
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,600
told you that, dude, from when I
was 16.

801
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,520
But at the same time, there was
a study recently that says

802
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,680
social media shows that you can
develop attention span issues.

803
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,040
And I'm like, do we really need
like a multimillion dollar study

804
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,040
on this?
Well, I don't know.

805
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,360
I feel like scientists are the
smartest and stupidest people in

806
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,520
the entire.
World, I think what they're

807
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,760
trying to do is they're trying
to show scientific proof because

808
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,560
just because you can look at
something and say on the surface

809
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,840
that it means this without 1005
thousand 10,000 people.

810
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,200
Otherwise you're just talking
about, Hey, you know, my my

811
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,400
brother, he had cancer and he
ate one pinwheel a day for five

812
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,720
days.
You don't have cancer anymore.

813
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,160
And then based off of, you know,
and you're like.

814
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,400
And you're like, the kids are
nowadays.

815
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,480
And the lack of attention.
I could have told you that.

816
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,040
But at the same time, you know,
it's funny.

817
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,320
What used to change laws was
scientific fact.

818
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,160
And you don't really need
scientific fact to change laws

819
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,280
anymore, you know.
Yeah, it's really, it's really

820
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,520
coming out.
What's it's money.

821
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,840
Money drives it.
Money drives everything when you

822
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,840
when you look at it.
And if you start to dig down

823
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,360
into what the money is and how
they're going to pay for this or

824
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,960
how we're going to have this new
of educational program, well,

825
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,920
who's who's doing it?
It's like, it's like the whole,

826
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,200
the whole immigrant grab and get
rid of the immigrants is a great

827
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,200
hate vehicle.
But you realize that we've

828
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,160
tripled the number of prisons
that we've set up in the South

829
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,960
and the red states or the red
states, please, I don't know the

830
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,360
in the Republican states, you
know, and they're owned by three

831
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,200
prison makers, GO-2 others.
Their stock prices have gone

832
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,160
significantly up.
They got huge amounts of money

833
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:37,760
and they get paid by the body.
Exactly $60,000 on average for.

834
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,320
Prison, so they get they get
paid by the body, so they're out

835
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,360
there trying to grab like Phil,
Zach, whatever.

836
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,560
And if there's no consequences
to grabbing citizens, why not

837
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,160
just put a couple hundred
citizens in there?

838
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,720
Well, the beautiful.
Thing about private.

839
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:52,000
And then we take the next step,
and you know what the next step

840
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,000
is?
What is the next step?

841
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,960
Put them to work for a nickel a
day.

842
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,320
Think about that.
Not even labor in the factories.

843
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,400
You you look at China, it's
like, forget that.

844
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,880
We we got prison labor in
prison.

845
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,080
For less.
Still legal in some states.

846
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:12,640
It, well, it is here it is here
and 34 states, I think we still

847
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,000
have the the ability to.
And, and it's not you don't even

848
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,440
have to compel prisoners because
if you're in a cell all day and

849
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,800
someone says, hey, we're going
to take an office building and

850
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,560
you're going to be an answer
question and answer thing and

851
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,040
you're going to get 2 hours or 4
hours of training and then when

852
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,600
you get out you'll be able to be
at a call center.

853
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,640
And it's like, no, you won't
because just other persons will

854
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,160
be doing it for nothing.
And why would they pay you 15

855
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,920
grand or 20 grand or 30 grand a
year when they could just get

856
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:41,680
free labor over there?
And sadly, those people donate

857
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,080
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the government campaign.

858
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,960
They go, they owned it to the
governor's they own.

859
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,480
They give it to the state's
supervisors that say it's OK to

860
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,000
put a prison here.
They do it.

861
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,040
They give it.
They give it to the local police

862
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,640
association, which arrest
people.

863
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,800
They give it to the courts,
which you know, and you're like.

864
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,120
But they only give one.
Yeah, they give a small

865
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,080
percentage. $0.02 to $0.40 an
hour was the extremely low pay

866
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,200
but but there's states with no
pay at all which is Alabama,

867
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,400
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, South Carolina and

868
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,680
Texas.
Wow.

869
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,680
If you think about the Republic
of Texas, my God, that is a big

870
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,640
state to be.
Yeah, I think they kill the most

871
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,720
people too, if I remember.
Florida was trying to pass them,

872
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:29,120
I think, and then South
Carolina, I think, was another

873
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,200
one that's really high on the
list of whacking all the people,

874
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,120
I think.
But you know what's funny?

875
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,200
Though is the ice cream that
I've been eating today.

876
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:41,040
You know, when I was a kid and
they have the, they had the

877
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,520
mango sorbet in the mango shell.
Remember that?

878
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,480
And then they had the coconut
one in half a coconut.

879
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,960
And then they have, I mean, I
can't remember.

880
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,360
There's one more.
I think it was like an orange, a

881
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,480
sorbet and an orange.
I found those again and they

882
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,320
sell them at the grocery store.
I ate one.

883
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,960
It's as good as I was when I was
a kid.

884
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:01,760
It was crazy.
And guess what?

885
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,200
120 calories per sorbet thing.
Crazy amazing we.

886
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:16,040
Used to go collecting for the
post when I was 6 and my brother

887
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,160
would always tell me to put on
my rag, which I had a lot of

888
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,000
raggy clothes and put it on the
raggiest.

889
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,960
Because people departments would
give a small kid that was six

890
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,440
years old collecting for the
post a bigger tip if he had torn

891
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,760
clothes.
And we knew this even then we

892
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,160
were in nipple little fox.
And so here we were collecting

893
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,480
the money.
And the reason I bring this up

894
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,080
about ice cream is because my
brother said as soon as we get

895
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:43,040
$0.35 and tips we'll go get ice
cream and he would take me down

896
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,480
to and it was like $0.50 or
something.

897
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,440
We would go down to people's
drugstore and they had a soda

898
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,720
fountain there, like a soda
stand that you know, you go and

899
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:56,240
you sit at a table in the front
and you know, just like, just

900
00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:57,520
like, well, the Woolworth
counter.

901
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,280
And we would sit there and we'd
ordered 2 ice cream.

902
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:08,680
I, I remember I would get an ice
cream sundae and with what the

903
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,120
hell was it walnuts or whatever
it was, pecans.

904
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,720
If we had like $0.40 and tips
and, and it was all bought with

905
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:18,560
tips.
And then we had star who came

906
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,880
with us was, it was the
neighbors German shepherd.

907
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,880
She would walk around with us
the whole time and we would, we

908
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,040
would usually buy her a candy
bar or something that would kill

909
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,840
the dog, but she loved it so or
something we would get at there

910
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,600
and give to the dog too.
So we'd reward the dog for being

911
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,440
loyal and coming around with us
the whole time.

912
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,480
And she would sit right outside
waiting for us to eat and we

913
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,040
didn't think anything of it.
She's right outside this big

914
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,160
German shepherd sitting outside
People's Drug Store.

915
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,440
And it's 8:00 at night on a
Tuesday, because that's the only

916
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,440
time you could grab people at
home because on the weekends

917
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,040
they wouldn't be there and they
wouldn't answer the door because

918
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,440
they know you were, you were
bill collector, you know, and,

919
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,640
but it was like.
And now they'll just shoot you

920
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,160
through the door.
If you're the pizza guy, you.

921
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,000
Know, you know, 70 you know, and
The thing is, is that they would

922
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,480
stiff us all the time and the
the IT was mostly.

923
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,000
Sales is not easy.
Yeah, it was Army.

924
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,840
The military is Quantico and
Fort Belvoir.

925
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,520
You think?
That would be actually a little

926
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,280
bit easier, but for sales.
Well, you would.

927
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,400
It was easy to get them.
They all wanted the paper that

928
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,280
everybody wanted that paper and
they wanted to deliver by 5:30

929
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,600
and we would do that.
But then because they went to

930
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,040
work at six and then they would
go, but then they didn't want to

931
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,160
pay for the paper, you know, And
it was only like so.

932
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,720
You got to throw bricks through
their windshield.

933
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,200
You got to throw a veteran.
No, we did other things.

934
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,800
We would we would light the
paper on fire in front of their

935
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:44,680
house and piss on it and.
We didn't people that just got

936
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,840
back from Vietnam that yeah,
they.

937
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:48,680
Probably.
Were we just?

938
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,680
Got back with.
No idea.

939
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:51,760
We had no idea.
We.

940
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,600
Were.
We did not know.

941
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,520
I mean, he was too on fire.
You know, now that was an old

942
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,040
lady that that was always
yelling at us because we didn't

943
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,280
put the paper squarely in front
of her door.

944
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,200
And there was just like, there's
one thing after the other.

945
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,640
And she would tell you, you
know, it's one thing to pay you

946
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:13,120
285 for four weeks, but it's
another thing to say here's 285.

947
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:14,600
And you know what?
I'm not going to tip you.

948
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,040
And you know why I'm not going
to tip you?

949
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:17,800
Because you didn't do this and
you didn't do this.

950
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,160
You didn't do this.
And I'm and I'm taking back

951
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,640
$0.15 because that was late on
that day and you're just like

952
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,480
and, and, and I'm seven, OK.
Somebody this lady don't talk to

953
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:29,920
her anymore.
That's.

954
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,920
No, she's dead.
But.

955
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Now, but I mean at the time.
No, no, we would.

956
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,120
She was.
We brutalized you.

957
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,080
You don't.
One of the things, that's one of

958
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,240
the things I learned early on, I
didn't realize it because it was

959
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:46,000
me doing it, is that when people
harm you and you're at the

960
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,600
bottom of the thread of a, of A,
and you can't do anything else.

961
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,840
What do you have to lose?
No, you.

962
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:53,680
You don't even think about what
you have to lose.

963
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,320
You have to think retaliation,
retaliation, get even, get even.

964
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,040
And that's all.
The find is like, you know, piss

965
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,600
all over the door handle.
So you know when she gets there

966
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,520
the next morning, she's going to
pick up with her hand.

967
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,280
You're going to and you can have
a chuckle and that's.

968
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,760
The thing about it?
Too, It's stupid, but but it's

969
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,840
you know, it's juvenile, but
you're you're freaking 7 and you

970
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:19,240
got a person that's probably in
her later 50s, late 50s, living

971
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:23,960
in Bayview apartment.
So she had no money, was just

972
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,400
getting by and she was a real
curmudgeon.

973
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,280
I remember.
I wonder what our story was.

974
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,320
I, I, it's, it's, I mean, if I
heard it, I probably feel

975
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,760
really, really, really bad.
I'm sure, yeah.

976
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,720
But she was me.
Just mean.

977
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:42,760
Unnecessarily mean.
People aren't born mean, though.

978
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,680
There's there's something in
this world.

979
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,840
Yeah, I mean, her kid may have
died in Vietnam, you know, Who

980
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:48,400
knows?
Maybe.

981
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,440
There you go.
You know, maybe that was it.

982
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,400
Maybe her husband dumped her and
her husband went off to Vietnam

983
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,640
and died, and she got no money
and she was stuck there.

984
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,640
You know, there's a million
different stories that we can

985
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,640
make up just like regular news.
You know, we can be regular news

986
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,480
and just make up stories about
people's lives that didn't

987
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,600
really happen.
You know, it's sort of like the

988
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,640
narrative coming out of like,
why didn't we attack Iran?

989
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,040
Iran.
I got to call it Iran.

990
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,280
Because I don't know all.
My we have neighbors that

991
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,000
Iranian and they call it Iran
and rock.

992
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,080
Well, let's see if I.
Iran.

993
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Well, let's see if I get to turn
30 years old or we're going to

994
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,360
die before then.
I don't know.

995
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:28,200
I'd like to turn 30.
But you know, it's kind of a big

996
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,280
time.
It's kind of a big step and

997
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,320
we'll see what nukes kind of do
to us.

998
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,560
Maybe they may.
We'll make us give us super

999
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,280
powers of some sort.
That's the weird thing.

1000
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,720
Now super smart.
You know, I don't think, I don't

1001
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:45,760
know about that.
But they're they're the Pentagon

1002
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:49,600
is fighting with Claude about
artificial intelligence, and

1003
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,840
they want it to be able to
surveil Americans.

1004
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,720
Sam Altman was talking about
that, too, yeah.

1005
00:51:55,720 --> 00:51:58,080
And he and there's a group that
said, no, I think Altman's the

1006
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,560
one that's against it or
Claude's against it.

1007
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,000
He's for it, but Claude's
against it.

1008
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:08,200
And also to have totally
autonomous killing machines.

1009
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,120
Well, there's this idea of being
safe right in the.

1010
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,240
American, we don't want, we
don't want total.

1011
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:18,840
They don't want to let what do
you call it, artificial

1012
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,400
intelligence to have full and
complete capability to go out

1013
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,840
and decide whether or not
something dies or not lives.

1014
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,080
They don't want that not ready
for that.

1015
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,800
And that's understandable
because it makes decisions that

1016
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,920
wouldn't we wouldn't make you
know, you know, and it's like

1017
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:39,600
RoboCop.
It's.

1018
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,760
Literally going to be a RoboCop.
That's crazy.

1019
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,520
But it's RoboCop with no ethics.
RoboCop had ethics.

1020
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:47,960
That was the whole point of
RoboCop too.

1021
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,040
He did, but the but the ones
that were full on robot, they

1022
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,520
just did whatever the master
said.

1023
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,560
So that's the problem is that if
you have a fully autonomous

1024
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:02,120
killing machine that and, and,
and 95% of the military

1025
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,640
scenarios that they run with
Iran, that's what they come up

1026
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,680
with.
What?

1027
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,160
Nuclear.
Yeah.

1028
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,400
That's what they come up with.
You know, how do we, how do we

1029
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,960
defeat Iran?
Well, we need a small tactical

1030
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,720
nuclear weapon.
And you're like.

1031
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,720
What?
What did we not just see

1032
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:23,760
Oppenheimer did?
Did we not just see that movie

1033
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,800
like 2 years ago dude?
Yeah, and I what?

1034
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,680
Happened with that.
Well, it's kind of interesting.

1035
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:34,280
And if we drop a bomb there on
the world's oil supply, what do

1036
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,400
you think that's going to do for
everything?

1037
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:41,520
You know, it's going to make
some people really, really,

1038
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,560
really, really, really rich.
And it's going to make some

1039
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:47,560
people really, really, really
more, more, more.

1040
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,600
It's going to be more divide.
And there's going to be a whole

1041
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,280
lot less trust your neighbor.
There's going to be, you know,

1042
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,000
we, we're, we've gotten away
from that.

1043
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,520
I think, I think that the, that
the good thing about the 50s,

1044
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,400
even though we were segregated
completely, is that we trusted

1045
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,000
our neighbor.
And I would like to see, you

1046
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,640
know, and it felt like we had to
trust our neighbor in the mid

1047
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,480
70s to late 70s.
I think that started ending in

1048
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:17,160
like O 8 and like O 8 to 10 is
when it started like really

1049
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,080
ending.
I feel like 'cause even in the

1050
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,560
early 2000s I remember.
There's a lot of hate when Obama

1051
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,880
came along 'cause it's like,
hey, black people can't be in

1052
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,120
charge.
You know that.

1053
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,800
Yeah, that was a big, big, big
theme.

1054
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,160
And people that are racist
didn't want to say it out loud

1055
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:32,560
because they could.
Now they can't.

1056
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,000
Well, I thought it was so funny
too that they they said when

1057
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,480
Donald Trump was elected,
they're like, we never

1058
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,080
protested.
I'm like, you were burning

1059
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,440
effigies in the street and they
were not kind looking effigies

1060
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:44,080
either.
Yeah.

1061
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,280
So I don't know when.
Wait.

1062
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,760
It's, I mean, the president of
the United States sends out a

1063
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,560
meme where?
Oh yeah, the Obama.

1064
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:52,440
Yeah, yeah.
Where they're all the monkeys.

1065
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,040
And you're thinking like, in
what?

1066
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,640
What place or society is that?
OK?

1067
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,960
And and he said it was somebody
else that managed his feed.

1068
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,880
And you're like, why does
anybody believe that?

1069
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,560
It's interesting as well.
Were they fired?

1070
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,440
Were they fired?
That you have what?

1071
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:15,080
Was their name these?
People that are are allocate

1072
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,680
themselves, take everything else
away.

1073
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,520
But you're still endorsing a
president that was endorsed by

1074
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,240
the Ku Klux Klan.
So, I mean, I don't understand,

1075
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:24,040
take everything else away.
Take everything else away,

1076
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,000
everything you could take every
single thing else away, all the

1077
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,280
allegations of pedophilia and
these things like that.

1078
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,640
And then at the end of the day,
at the end of the day, you you

1079
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,080
support a guy that was supported
by the Ku Klux Klan.

1080
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,560
Like I don't understand, like
everything else away.

1081
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,400
And if it was ever about.
Crime it was about.

1082
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,960
Criminality.
The good Christians.

1083
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,600
Exactly.
I don't understand, I don't

1084
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,720
know.
Well, I think that I forgot the

1085
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:48,560
one keyword there.
The good wack.

1086
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,280
I'm tired of talking to these
people about these things, you

1087
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:52,400
know?
I don't I don't understand.

1088
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,800
Well, you're not.
The thing is, is that are are we

1089
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,880
at a point where we look at
someone and say, why should I

1090
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:04,120
argue with you?
Because you will not use facts

1091
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,000
to rebut anything that I say and
anything that I say that's

1092
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,240
factual, you will change the
subject and not answer the

1093
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:14,320
question.
You will run away like a little

1094
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,640
bitch.
OK.

1095
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,360
And that's that's what happens.
And I've run into this over and

1096
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:20,880
over and over.
And you know what?

1097
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:26,720
I'm, I'm, I'm this close to, you
know, cutting off the whole

1098
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:30,240
Facebook thing and just adding
the birthday, birthdays to my

1099
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:31,440
list.
But but you know.

1100
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,280
This is just a distraction too
this.

1101
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,760
Is how we sell this podcast, you
know, and we're not going to

1102
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,480
get, we're not going to get to
100 million users if we don't,

1103
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,040
if we don't continue to.
Soon enough.

1104
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,000
Placate the left and the right,
and I think that we we, if we,

1105
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,520
we are the gestures.
And we do distract and that's

1106
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,960
what we're here for.
Yeah, that's what we're here

1107
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,880
for.
What are we at time wise now?

1108
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,880
What are we doing here?
Oh man, you talk a lot.

1109
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:58,920
Wow, it's over an hour.
We've talked a lot of.

1110
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,680
Stuff, Thank you guys for
listening.

1111
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,000
As always, check out the
website.

1112
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,800
This is episode I think 139, so
we're almost to 1:40 next

1113
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:08,800
Friday.
See you there.

1114
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,280
One one thing I would like to do
is I would like to come back to

1115
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,680
this in about 3 months or six
months.

1116
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,360
I'm curious.
Yeah, that would be interesting.

1117
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:20,960
Yeah.
I love that.

1118
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:22,400
What?
What's going to happen?

1119
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,520
Make that reminder.
Make calendar now, so we don't.

1120
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,040
Play, play a bit or 2 of what we
thought about Iran and I I think

1121
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,720
that it's a forever war or we
have to just stop and just let

1122
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,080
it go.
The backbone of our economy.

1123
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,920
Do I do do what we did in
Venezuela, you know, exactly.

1124
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,000
Take their money and run away.
See you later, Bah.
