00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:16,890 current way of life was about to end at 8 00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:19,320 any moment when this didn't happen and 9 00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:20,820 when he figured out that this was taking 10 00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:23,310 a toll on his life Dan decided to drop 11 00:00:30,349 --> 00:00:24,689 the whole thing and now he's a lot 12 00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:30,359 happier so

00:00:37,110 hole podcast I I'm talking to you I 16 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:38,550 don't really know anything at all about 17 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:40,559 you then what happened was you left a 18 00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:43,410 comment on one of my podcasts YouTube 19 00:00:47,959 --> 00:00:45,270 videos it was the one with the X 20 00:00:49,819 --> 00:00:47,969 conspiracy theorists right and you said 21 00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:49,829 I'm just gonna read what you wrote if 22 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,590 you don't mind sure it says I was 23 00:00:55,819 --> 00:00:54,480 exposed to the conspiracy theory mindset 24 00:00:58,279 --> 00:00:55,829 when I was 11 years old 25 00:01:00,680 --> 00:00:58,289 I'm 52 now and I realized that 49 none 26 00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:00,690 of those theories played out it was all 27 00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:03,000 extreme speculation run amok I no longer 28 00:01:07,219 --> 00:01:05,040 waste time with it and I'm much happier 29 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:07,229 Etha those those are they were 30 00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:09,090 fascinating comment and you know it 31 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:10,380 seemed like there's obviously an 32 00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:13,979 interesting story behind that well yeah 33 00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:15,720 so I was wondering if you could take us 34 00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,500 back to when you were 11 my gasps 35 00:01:27,859 --> 00:01:24,479 brother my uncle would come home for the 36 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:27,869 holidays and you know sure whatever book 37 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,130 he was reading at the time is a real 38 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:30,960 smart guy college educated this and that 39 00:01:39,890 --> 00:01:35,970 and he read George Orwell's 1984 mmm-hmm 40 00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:39,900 and then after that books about the CFR 41 00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:42,409 the Trilateral Commission builder birds 42 00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:46,430 you know all the the usual suspects and 43 00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:51,060 this was a frequent thing throughout my 44 00:01:54,889 --> 00:01:52,950 youth so it was always a topic that I 45 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:54,899 knew something about even though it was 46 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:57,930 just information from him so always knew 47 00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:00,719 of this I hate to see Illuminati but 48 00:02:06,109 --> 00:02:03,750 this other power structure going on as I 49 00:02:08,059 --> 00:02:06,119 grew up and so there was always the you 50 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,069 know the the the thing behind the things 51 00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:10,319 so to speak but it didn't really have 52 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:13,620 any effect on my behavior or outlook 53 00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:16,769 until 2008 all that other time it's just 54 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:18,209 you to hear things learn things whatever 55 00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:21,090 the case is but it was in 2008 56 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:24,030 just prior to Obama being elected there 57 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:28,560 was an email he got sent out and it just 58 00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:30,930 said something to the effect of when 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:34,230 Obama is elected there's going to be a 60 00:02:41,569 --> 00:02:38,370 vent and he will be forced to implement 61 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:41,579 martial law for anywhere from 60 to 90 62 00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:43,920 days but it was about 25 pages long it 63 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:48,060 was really done well and being of a 64 00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:51,060 conspiracy theory mindset anyway and 65 00:02:56,180 --> 00:02:53,220 then getting a hold of this bit of 66 00:02:58,369 --> 00:02:56,190 information that's when I started to act 67 00:03:00,050 --> 00:02:58,379 upon these things as far as becoming a 68 00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:00,060 prepper I don't think to call it 69 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:03,359 prepping back then became a prepper 70 00:03:08,509 --> 00:03:07,200 you know stocking foods guns bullets all 71 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:08,519 this kind of stuff Larry skills this 72 00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:10,650 kind of thing we rented now it's like 73 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,900 the mindset was okay you know where this 74 00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:15,120 thing is going to end so whatever you 75 00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:17,040 were doing before you need to jettison 76 00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:18,209 that now you're going into the other 77 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:22,579 direction preparing for this inevitable 78 00:03:27,890 --> 00:03:25,410 bad thing that's what that point is when 79 00:03:29,539 --> 00:03:27,900 I actually affected my lifestyle 80 00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:29,549 where's prior to that I was just you 81 00:03:32,659 --> 00:03:30,870 hear of these things you know they just 82 00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:32,669 said go back to my uncle we talked about 83 00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:35,099 doubl years I was always in an economic 84 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:37,889 collapse on the horizon and these kinds 85 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:40,049 of things but it wasn't until 2008 we're 86 00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:41,730 actually acted upon it said you're just 87 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:45,060 through fear that hey you need to do 88 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:46,260 something here I think I my family 89 00:03:51,289 --> 00:03:49,049 involved and you know we stockpile food 90 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:51,299 water this kind of thing and here it is 91 00:03:58,490 --> 00:03:55,680 we're into Trump now and we survived 92 00:04:01,250 --> 00:03:58,500 this Obama thing none of that ever 93 00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:01,260 happened matter of fact some of those 94 00:04:07,309 --> 00:04:03,030 things I stored up and locked away back 95 00:04:10,939 --> 00:04:07,319 then I finally had to throw away and I 96 00:04:14,569 --> 00:04:10,949 had at that point I had to take around 97 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,579 2000 I want to say 12 and there that the 98 00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:16,560 recession was going on this and that 99 00:04:21,730 --> 00:04:19,320 yeah I had to say you know this this why 100 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:21,740 am I putting time in on this thing and 101 00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:24,240 it's it's especially with YouTube I mean 102 00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:27,000 I just eat these videos up and I just 103 00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:27,470 said you 104 00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:29,000 the stuff isn't panning out I'm not 105 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:30,470 saying that it might not happen in the 106 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:32,210 future I think something could happen 107 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:34,310 yeah but for as much time as I have 108 00:04:42,130 --> 00:04:38,450 invested with concern worry whatever we 109 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:42,140 call it and really nothing ever happened 110 00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:45,440 if I was picking horses racehorses I'd 111 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:47,150 be the ultimate loser but it was just 112 00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:49,490 the time and the effort put in and spent 113 00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:51,950 thousands of dollars you know preparing 114 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:55,390 for these things and all that you know 115 00:05:00,580 --> 00:04:58,130 yeah it was a waste of time but there's 116 00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:00,590 no value in day yeah with prepping I 117 00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:03,020 think in a way like you're you know 118 00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:04,880 taking a little gamble on the future 119 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:06,740 there's nothing are being prepared and 120 00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:09,770 I'm a reasonable level of preparation 121 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:12,260 for things like natural disasters and 122 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:14,330 whatnot right now I mean everyone should 123 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:17,360 do that and you know something might 124 00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:19,730 have happened when you're prepping years 125 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:20,750 there might have been a giant earthquake 126 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:23,090 or something and have been being glad 127 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:25,280 but these things are kind of few and far 128 00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:27,110 between the the things where you 129 00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:31,430 actually need things so you had the idea 130 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:33,620 in back in like the the 2000s the 131 00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:36,320 Society was going to collapse during the 132 00:05:40,930 --> 00:05:39,110 air more yes more or less yes and that 133 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:40,940 it was going to be something deliberate 134 00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:45,680 done by the the Illuminati essentially 135 00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:50,060 and right yeah well you could pick your 136 00:05:53,740 --> 00:05:51,800 favorite you know in group 137 00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:53,750 yeah the Illuminati or whatever the case 138 00:05:58,810 --> 00:05:57,200 is but you know I actually believe you 139 00:05:59,800 --> 00:05:58,820 know I've had friends here in YouTube 140 00:06:01,720 --> 00:05:59,810 where they're they think there's just 141 00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:01,730 one body of people this cabal or 142 00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:04,430 whatever yeah and actually I can look at 143 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:06,950 it now and say well there's many mm-hm 144 00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:10,010 I mean I know for a fact that there's a 145 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:13,220 company there called Toyota Motor 146 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:15,290 Company and they will go out of the way 147 00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:16,850 to do anything and everything possible 148 00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:19,760 to get you to buy their product they 149 00:06:23,650 --> 00:06:21,710 will market you they've all show you 150 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:23,660 pretty pictures on the television of 151 00:06:28,810 --> 00:06:25,490 magazines and they are doing everything 152 00:06:31,030 --> 00:06:28,820 they can to manipulate you teach you not 153 00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:31,040 to buy a Honda but to buy a Toyota mm-hm 154 00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:33,080 and see them say some will say well 155 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:34,640 that's not the same thing yeah but we 156 00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:36,710 have many groups like that the left 157 00:06:39,580 --> 00:06:38,240 wants you to do what the left wants the 158 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:39,590 right wants to do with the right wants 159 00:06:42,850 --> 00:06:40,849 and whoever's pushing their 160 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:42,860 or whatever yeah so you get to the point 161 00:06:48,429 --> 00:06:45,649 where I just can't see one single group 162 00:06:49,869 --> 00:06:48,439 or two that runs everything when I think 163 00:06:51,489 --> 00:06:49,879 everyone's trying to run everything I 164 00:06:56,529 --> 00:06:51,499 don't think there's any one group that 165 00:07:00,159 --> 00:06:56,539 has this thing nailed down that things 166 00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:00,169 turned out to plan so far yes yeah well 167 00:07:03,369 --> 00:07:01,759 I always point out just how many 168 00:07:04,510 --> 00:07:03,379 billionaires that are in the world if 169 00:07:06,189 --> 00:07:04,520 you look at the list of Forbes 170 00:07:08,139 --> 00:07:06,199 billionaires and they're just so diverse 171 00:07:09,669 --> 00:07:08,149 you've got like a whole bunch in China 172 00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:09,679 you got a bunch in Russia you got a 173 00:07:14,049 --> 00:07:12,289 bunch in America you know brighter you 174 00:07:16,209 --> 00:07:14,059 got them in the UK and France Europe 175 00:07:17,529 --> 00:07:16,219 Australia New Zealand billionaires all 176 00:07:18,669 --> 00:07:17,539 around the world and they're all doing 177 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:18,679 different things and they're all in 178 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:20,330 different industries and we can't assume 179 00:07:24,369 --> 00:07:23,209 that every billionaire is this evil you 180 00:07:26,559 --> 00:07:24,379 know man behind the curtain 181 00:07:29,529 --> 00:07:26,569 I mean somebody's very successful yeah 182 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:29,539 so we're looking to get that Billy yeah 183 00:07:33,070 --> 00:07:31,490 they've invented something that's turned 184 00:07:37,299 --> 00:07:33,080 out to be very useful like right right 185 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:37,309 like we're doing right here yeah yeah so 186 00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:39,889 like back in say 2008 what were the 187 00:07:44,499 --> 00:07:42,409 types of conspiracy theories like other 188 00:07:46,989 --> 00:07:44,509 than just a general idea that the 189 00:07:50,139 --> 00:07:46,999 government was plotting this big this 190 00:07:52,949 --> 00:07:50,149 big economic shift in the future would 191 00:07:57,579 --> 00:07:52,959 you believe other things as well well 192 00:07:59,649 --> 00:07:57,589 other things like there was maybe you 193 00:08:01,719 --> 00:07:59,659 know I was a hardcore fan of art bill 194 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:01,729 for all those years you know he was 195 00:08:06,909 --> 00:08:03,769 going on and you had your entire body 196 00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:06,919 into the I mean you looked at all the I 197 00:08:10,749 --> 00:08:09,169 think was major at Dame's or something 198 00:08:11,379 --> 00:08:10,759 every you next year this is it this 199 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:11,389 thing's over 200 00:08:16,389 --> 00:08:14,409 and he had that many years I did I 201 00:08:18,159 --> 00:08:16,399 accepted a lot of these things like 202 00:08:20,829 --> 00:08:18,169 maybe there was an Illuminati or maybe 203 00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:20,839 it was the Jews or maybe it's this or 204 00:08:26,019 --> 00:08:23,449 that I kind of accepted that but it 205 00:08:28,509 --> 00:08:26,029 wasn't until I got this one email where 206 00:08:29,619 --> 00:08:28,519 it's this was going to affect me this 207 00:08:30,369 --> 00:08:29,629 was actually going to touch me with 208 00:08:32,499 --> 00:08:30,379 those other things 209 00:08:34,689 --> 00:08:32,509 I really can't control any of that even 210 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:34,699 if it's true true mm-hmm if there is 211 00:08:40,209 --> 00:08:37,689 this cabal somewhere what can I do 212 00:08:42,129 --> 00:08:40,219 yes I think I'm good you know I mean you 213 00:08:44,769 --> 00:08:42,139 grew up with was that kind of belief 214 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:44,779 that was right yeah a powerful group of 215 00:08:50,170 --> 00:08:47,930 people control I mean the Cold War you 216 00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:50,180 know 1985 is when I graduated high 217 00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:50,750 school 218 00:08:54,620 --> 00:08:53,600 yeah Reagan and all that with a fear of 219 00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:54,630 nuclear holocaust 220 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:56,070 and all this kind of thing and so you 221 00:08:58,670 --> 00:08:57,210 just kind of get numb to this kind of 222 00:09:02,750 --> 00:08:58,680 stuff but it was I said it wasn't until 223 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:02,760 I got that email random email and which 224 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:04,590 got me to act so you know this could 225 00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:06,090 affect me here this is something that 226 00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:07,740 could if this happens this is going to 227 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:09,660 happen here and this is going to affect 228 00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:14,610 me where that that had it took my level 229 00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:17,100 from concern to fear like okay if you 230 00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:18,510 don't do something and this does happen 231 00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:21,270 you're in a bad way so it was that was a 232 00:09:26,810 --> 00:09:23,190 real motivator for me as far as other 233 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:26,820 conspiracies you know having been at 234 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:28,650 this stuff for so long it's more just 235 00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:29,450 like it 236 00:09:33,530 --> 00:09:31,950 like some kid reads a comic book series 237 00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:33,540 and just keeps going with and going with 238 00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:35,100 it going with it well there's so many 239 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:36,300 different things that happens in every 240 00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:38,610 magazine that you just to me it was just 241 00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:40,350 an ongoing thing so I never I never 242 00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:44,670 locked into any one thing whether it was 243 00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:46,440 this with that or the other you know 244 00:09:50,450 --> 00:09:48,480 ideals that was I can't nail down eating 245 00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:50,460 one conspiracy theory that really had me 246 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:53,220 wrapped up yeah with a conspiracy 247 00:09:55,940 --> 00:09:54,480 theories back then that you thought were 248 00:09:57,290 --> 00:09:55,950 just a bit too ridiculous like I mean 249 00:10:00,140 --> 00:09:57,300 those things like you credit aliens 250 00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:00,150 reptilians obviously that's so I said 251 00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:03,870 David lower end of the spectrum yeah we 252 00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:09,120 have a lot of I think it was someone 253 00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:10,620 other than major David I think there was 254 00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:12,300 home one did a lot of stuff to you that 255 00:10:17,230 --> 00:10:14,390 when you start dealing with planets 256 00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:17,240 meteorites asteroids this kind of stuff 257 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:21,390 you know it's like okay I mean how much 258 00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:22,770 even if they said it's coming tomorrow 259 00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:25,440 kala whatever you you can't stop if 260 00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:27,720 there's nothing so you just exist so 261 00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:30,270 it's so extreme that you just you just 262 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:31,800 quit right off the get-go okay if that 263 00:10:34,850 --> 00:10:33,570 happens it happens whatever I can't 264 00:10:38,660 --> 00:10:34,860 pretty I'm like an investing time in 265 00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:38,670 that right right so like say chemtrails 266 00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:40,200 for example is that something you paid 267 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:44,310 attention to you know camp girls I prep 268 00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:45,810 were right next to an airport here and 269 00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:47,460 I've been I've always worked around an 270 00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:50,220 airport and I'm here in the central 271 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:51,750 California you can see the sky most of 272 00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:55,050 the time right and chemtrails contrails 273 00:10:59,360 --> 00:10:56,310 we need to call it I've grown up around 274 00:11:00,980 --> 00:10:59,370 that my whole life until they started 275 00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:00,990 calling him chemtrails originally I 276 00:11:04,850 --> 00:11:02,340 thought hey there's something to this 277 00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:04,860 wow this is but as you get older a 278 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:07,260 little wiser you realize I don't see the 279 00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:08,370 profit in this 280 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:10,230 I just don't see how you're going to and 281 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:11,490 just say I think you guys spoke on 282 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,930 before how you gonna keep all these 283 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:14,880 people quiet I have friends that are 284 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:16,890 pilots commercial pilots and they just 285 00:11:23,090 --> 00:11:21,420 laugh I mean I mean I have a better idea 286 00:11:25,730 --> 00:11:23,100 instead of us flying over your house and 287 00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:25,740 spraying it why don't I just get you to 288 00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:27,510 drive in somewhere to a drive-in and eat 289 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:29,790 our food that's how I'm gonna poison you 290 00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:32,610 mm-hmm I mean poison and sorry we helped 291 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,380 so much food is a bunch of crap so it's 292 00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:36,240 it'd be far more effective and you would 293 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,680 pay me for it why would I spend time 294 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,839 spraying you from thousands ten to 295 00:11:42,620 --> 00:11:41,279 thirty thousand feet not knowing where 296 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:42,630 it's gonna lay it in all those Kempton I 297 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:44,490 just say doesn't right and I don't see 298 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:46,560 the profit in it the amount of expense 299 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:49,650 of a the chemtrail and then what the 300 00:11:55,850 --> 00:11:54,570 profit is I don't get it yeah I think 301 00:11:58,340 --> 00:11:55,860 that the theory that they have now is 302 00:11:59,510 --> 00:11:58,350 that it is some kind of geoengineering 303 00:12:02,450 --> 00:11:59,520 like they're trying to change the 304 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:02,460 climate to either prevent global warming 305 00:12:08,390 --> 00:12:04,800 or fake global warming it's not entirely 306 00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:08,400 clear what they're they're saying most 307 00:12:12,530 --> 00:12:09,660 of the time if you're going to do 308 00:12:19,610 --> 00:12:12,540 something that's for the good you tell 309 00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:19,620 people about yeah that's not good and 310 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:22,980 apparently for 50 years or so oh yeah 311 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:26,130 just throw the back Craster's and even 312 00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:27,770 they would sing just very ineffective 313 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:30,950 very ineffective yeah I mean 314 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:32,850 crop-dusting you have to do it close to 315 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:36,330 the ground obviously but you spray 316 00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:37,770 things that are way up there that it's 317 00:12:42,620 --> 00:12:39,540 gonna come down like you know it's up in 318 00:12:46,190 --> 00:12:42,630 Kansas thousands of miles away yeah 319 00:12:49,010 --> 00:12:46,200 what about say 9/11 that there's a whole 320 00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:49,020 broad number of conspiracy around 9/11 321 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:51,510 9/11 I got caught up in that especially 322 00:12:55,550 --> 00:12:53,730 with the site yeast was eat guys never 323 00:12:59,810 --> 00:12:55,560 you guys say that it's like dye stuff 324 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:02,360 I think most of this at the time they 325 00:13:05,329 --> 00:13:04,170 point something out I don't think I'm 326 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:05,339 speaking up for myself 327 00:13:09,290 --> 00:13:07,680 mm-hmm but everyone's known maybe you 328 00:13:10,579 --> 00:13:09,300 had a girlfriend or your wife or friend 329 00:13:13,130 --> 00:13:10,589 or something they like to go to horror 330 00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:13,140 movies scary movies I don't like to be 331 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:15,540 scared I've had girlfriends oh they just 332 00:13:20,210 --> 00:13:17,130 loved that just love something about it 333 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:20,220 and I think what happens when we get 334 00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:21,810 into these topics 335 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:22,830 especially in dealing with YouTube 336 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:26,010 videos and I had to ask myself why do I 337 00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:27,510 watch this stuff you already know it 338 00:13:33,410 --> 00:13:29,670 doesn't play up most of the time why am 339 00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:33,420 I watching this well it brings up a it 340 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:35,460 alters my state it brings up an emotion 341 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:39,930 to me which is anxiety anxiousness and I 342 00:13:45,380 --> 00:13:43,170 guess I like that okay so when you see 343 00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:45,390 something like sight guys do this kind 344 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:47,220 of thing that really freaked me I don't 345 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:49,770 want to first saw and so it's like whoa 346 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:52,410 but this was like a horror movie this 347 00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:57,330 thing really old man and over time I'm 348 00:14:01,460 --> 00:13:58,890 looking back I'm thinking when they 349 00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:01,470 named the claims that they've made I'm 350 00:14:06,140 --> 00:14:02,790 thinking you know over and over time 351 00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:06,150 like max I don't I don't think so it I 352 00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:07,980 mean I kind of bought into it originally 353 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:09,900 but I'm like I just I don't think you 354 00:14:13,610 --> 00:14:11,730 can once again you're gonna get that 355 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:13,620 many people on the same page the time 356 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,770 he's got to be perfect too many people 357 00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:18,480 involved you just can't you know someone 358 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:19,830 would have spoke of something by now 359 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:22,290 mmm-hmm you know I set the bombs or what 360 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:23,850 you know this kind of stuff and I just I 361 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:26,490 can't I just that will give me a time 362 00:14:30,350 --> 00:14:28,290 for now that's that's really interesting 363 00:14:33,050 --> 00:14:30,360 the analogy drew there with the horror 364 00:14:35,510 --> 00:14:33,060 movies like it yeah yeah he's some kind 365 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:35,520 of like visceral response that yeah your 366 00:14:39,050 --> 00:14:37,170 brain just its course have some 367 00:14:41,420 --> 00:14:39,060 chemicals that you your body kind of 368 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:41,430 enjoys in a way like a roller right if 369 00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:43,530 you look at let's say I'll take you I 370 00:14:47,390 --> 00:14:45,030 can't watch a lot of YouTube videos if 371 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:47,400 you're an inspirational speaker and you 372 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:49,070 actually inspire people with your words 373 00:14:54,140 --> 00:14:51,810 people like that and they're gonna watch 374 00:14:55,550 -->

386 00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:21,779 statement my mental state that it was 387 00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:25,500 preying upon was the this anxiety this 388 00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:27,990 fear and it's like hit me like a kind of 389 00:15:30,970 --> 00:15:29,190 bricks whoa damn like that's why I'm 390 00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:30,980 watching this stuff I already know that 391 00:15:35,180 --> 00:15:33,150

is it's 477 00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:55,820 happening 478 00:19:01,180 --> 00:18:59,120 right you're completely wrong you can 479 00:19:03,789 --> 00:19:01,190 make all the wild speculation you want 480 00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:03,799 predictions mm-hmm and if you fall flat 481 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:06,320 on your face someone who like me when 482 00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:08,240 you push my button I'll

realize that about this topic about 486 00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:16,850 whether it's conspiracy theory or this 487 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:18,260 coming collapse or whatever yeah they 488 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:19,730 really ticked me off I'm like man I'm 489 00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:22,730 getting played here so it's it's I have 490 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:25,940 to look at things and if I see nothing 491 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,120 else the most important thing is if you 492 00:19:33,639 --> 00:19:31,520 walk into these things and let them 493 00:19:36,430 --> 00:19:33,649 affect your state of mind you basically 494 00:19:38,049 --> 00:19:36,440 get a bad attitude you cannot maintain a 495 00:19:39,789 --> 00:19:38,059 good attitude at least someone like me 496 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:39,799 when you're bringing all this 497 00:19:46,330 --> 00:19:42,289 information in this bad news coming 498 00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:46,340 collapse warnings concerns and so you 499 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:50,600 end up with a perspective about your 500 00:19:55,899 --> 00:19:53,840 your world is very very that's me is I 501 00:19:58,379 --> 00:19:55,909 think it's damaged at this point because 502 00:20:01,510 --> 00:19:58,389 usually look at everything from that 503 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:01,520 conspiracy theory becomes your filter or 504 00:20:06,610 --> 00:20:03,770 shtf collapse preparedness becomes your 505 00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:06,620 filter for everything I mean I missed if 506 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:09,560 you go back to like 2010-11 I was 507 00:20:13,330 --> 00:20:11,450 falling into the stuff there were there 508 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:13,340 were financial opportunities that came 509 00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:16,010 my way that I avoided because I said 510 00:20:18,130 --> 00:20:17,150 well this I don't think your sisters 511 00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:18,140 gonna be available I don't think 512 00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:19,310 currencies gonna be around for another 513 00:20:24,510 --> 00:20:21,500 year dude and I passed over some great 514 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:24,520 opportunities you tend to start 515 00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:28,490 segregating yourself from we'll just 516 00:20:31,150 --> 00:20:30,110 call it normal society because well 517 00:20:32,590 --> 00:20:31,160 they're not awake yet they don't know 518 00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:32,600 what's going on just like a spent thymus 519 00:20:36,790 --> 00:20:34,370 you just you start segregating yourself 520 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,800 from that and you just you can to some 521 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:39,200 really dark a really dark place for me 522 00:20:43,390 --> 00:20:41,330 just gave me a really bad attitude did 523 00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:43,400 it affect your relationships with like 524 00:20:45,670 --> 00:20:45,320 other people that you worked with or the 525 00:20:49,380 --> 00:20:45,680 year 526 00:20:53,860 --> 00:20:49,390 you met yeah that you yeah yeah people 527 00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:53,870 yeah as far as no tell too many people 528 00:21:03,370 --> 00:20:54,830 this'll think you're crazy 529 00:21:05,050 --> 00:21:03,380 so it's not I never uh hmm it was never 530 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:05,060 a thing where I was I mean I probably 531 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:07,280 spent less time I'm kind of reclusive 532 00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:09,890

way back then I 598 00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:40,800 still subscribe to now because they were 599 00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:42,240 small there's still like small channel 600 00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:44,910 people a couple thousand subs and I 601 00:23:49,910 --> 00:23:48,000 support them but whereas their if their 602 00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:49,920 video comes across my screen it's just 603 00:23:55,070 --> 00:23:52,470 another title about this collapse or how 604 00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:55,080 to prep what I just I don't necessarily 605 00:23:58,010 --> 00:23:56,640 you know okay that's my friend doing his 606 00:23:59,570 --> 00:23:58,020 thing that's he still doing that or 607 00:24:01,340 --> 00:23:59,580 whatever and I don't I don't wish them 608 00:24:02,450 --> 00:24:01,350 any harm if that's you know you got to 609 00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:02,460 do what they think is right but I just 610 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:04,830 don't participate like I used to but 611 00:24:08,270 --> 00:24:06,210 most of the big channel with the 612 00:24:11,540 --> 00:24:08,280 channels that knew how to push my button 613 00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:11,550 to get me evolved I I'm done with all 614 00:24:15,530 --> 00:24:13,860 those I don't go near that because 615 00:24:17,690 --> 00:24:15,540 they're still entertaining for me you 616 00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:17,700 know you put up a good title a good 617 00:24:20,780 --> 00:24:19,110 warning kind of thing is still that's 618 00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:20,790 scary movie I might want to see and get 619 00:24:24,170 --> 00:24:22,020 you know caught up or whatever 620 00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:24,180 do you like you might get sucked back in 621 00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:27,100 again if you watched a few videos 622 00:24:34,620 --> 00:24:32,590 no the it goes back to the same there's 623 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:34,630 a little bit of a discipline when I was 624 00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:35,710 going through all this 625 00:24:42,029 --> 00:24:38,950 probably about 2012-13 I'm a Christian 626 00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:42,039 okay and trying to follow the teachings 627 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:44,080 of Jesus and a good part of that if you 628 00:24:48,180 --> 00:24:46,210 look at if took me a while to figure 629 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:48,190 this out if you look at the attitude 630 00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:50,530 that you my faith wanted me to have and 631 00:24:55,710 --> 00:24:52,390 then the attitude that I was creating 632 00:24:57,690 --> 00:24:55,720 over here in this scary world kind of 633 00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:57,700 thing two different things so wait how 634 00:25:01,409 --> 00:24:59,530 am I gonna walk this thing out but I'm 635 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:01,419 constantly getting myself all jacked up 636 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:03,730 over here kind of deal so that was 637 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:04,960 another part of it to you where it's 638 00:25:08,669 --> 00:25:06,730 like you know you gotta say yes you have 639 00:25:09,539 --> 00:25:08,679 no choice but to separate yourself from 640 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:09,549 this because you're getting too 641 00:25:14,130 --> 00:25:11,440 emotionally involved in this stuff which 642 00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:14,140 messes up your attitude and now you're 643 00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:17,380 off the path again so did you know that 644 00:25:22,409 --> 00:25:19,870 was you know bad attitude 645 00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:22,419 how long do you think he yeah your 646 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:24,370 transition took he said like it was 647 00:25:29,850 --> 00:25:26,770 around when was it you started kind of 648 00:25:32,820 --> 00:25:29,860 having doubts about it well it's I can't 649 00:25:35,789 --> 00:25:32,830 even exactly they're probably around I'm 650 00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:35,799 gonna say mm well actually I can it was 651 00:25:38,730 --> 00:25:37,150 pretty good for a while they're kind of 652 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:38,740 staying out of this stuff was watching 653 00:25:42,029 --> 00:25:39,850 certain videos I'm not gonna watch his 654 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:42,039 videos and work is a bad attitude then 655 00:25:46,110 --> 00:25:43,690 the ISIS thing started a rock and roll 656 00:25:49,049 --> 00:25:46,120 again and there was there was a fourth 657 00:25:52,380 --> 00:25:49,059 of July coming up and this had to be at 658 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:52,390 the 14 or 15 might be 2014 and that kind 659 00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:54,370 of got me when uh you know I might you 660 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:56,289 know keep my eye on this this might be 661 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:57,730 something that you know feel here at 662 00:26:02,220 --> 00:25:59,440 home and kind of got caught up in it I 663 00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:02,230 started making videos myself so let's 664 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:06,130 say 14 15 and then realize that you know 665 00:26:10,350 --> 00:26:08,289 this is just a repeat you're doing it 666 00:26:12,539 --> 00:26:10,360 all over again you're caught up in this 667 00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:12,549 thing yeah it's been entertaining but 668 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:13,750 here you get oh you got this bad 669 00:26:18,899 --> 00:26:15,970 attitude going again 670 00:26:22,350 --> 00:26:18,909 miserable outlook you know the future is 671 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:22,360 not bright and this kind of thing and 672 00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:24,010 then that affects everything else that 673 00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:26,230 you do you know a bad attitude that's 674 00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:29,260 just terrible so I mean so that would be 675 00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:34,390 probably by 15 I'm like yes you're done 676 00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:36,520 with this you know you can't you have to 677 00:26:40,289 --> 00:26:38,830 stop doing this again and it's that's 678 00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:40,299 the probably at that point is when I 679 00:26:43,330 --> 00:26:40,880 realized 680 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:43,340 I'm getting my buttons pushed here okay 681 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:45,050 why am I so why am i why I go back to 682 00:26:49,090 --> 00:26:47,450 the stuff yeah there was some some very 683 00:26:51,430 --> 00:26:49,100 compelling events that happened 684 00:26:52,780 --> 00:26:51,440 I said Isis was it was just start a rock 685 00:26:54,730 --> 00:26:52,790 and roll and there were threats of some 686 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:54,740 terrorist attacks possibly happening 687 00:27:00,850 --> 00:26:57,170 here but I said what is it's it's that 688 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:00,860 horror movie you know anxiety thing 689 00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:02,450 going again that you want to be scared 690 00:27:06,340 --> 00:27:04,640 whatever it is something that I liked 691 00:27:08,830 --> 00:27:06,350 obviously that drew me back into this 692 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:08,840 thing or kept me in it I realized okay 693 00:27:13,270 --> 00:27:10,490 you gotta just divorce yourself in this 694 00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:13,280 this is not getting anywhere it's 695 00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:15,040 affecting everything else what I'm doing 696 00:27:20,860 --> 00:27:18,830 you to thing it's very interesting it's 697 00:27:23,170 --> 00:27:20,870 like new it's making you like you know 698 00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:23,180 kind of a toxic person oh right in a way 699 00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:24,920 you say you're a lot happier now and you 700 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:26,990 seem like a happy person just talking 701 00:27:33,550 --> 00:27:29,570 teacher will you would you say you act 702 00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:33,560 like really angry or no how would you 703 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:35,900 put it more of a I don't want to see 704 00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:37,130 depression because that's a pretty 705 00:27:42,340 --> 00:27:38,510 powerful thing it haven't really been a 706 00:27:44,410 --> 00:27:42,350 depressed person but it was like almost 707 00:27:45,970 --> 00:27:44,420 like living a countdown and so he had 708 00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:45,980 this extra weight it's just extra stress 709 00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:49,070 on you and so when other people were 710 00:27:53,230 --> 00:27:51,350 having you know they call them the 711 00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:53,240 sheeple out there oh look they're all 712 00:27:56,590 --> 00:27:55,190 happy and you know because they don't 713 00:27:58,390 --> 00:27:56,600 know what's going on well I start see 714 00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:58,400 well these people are happy or they knew 715 00:28:01,570 --> 00:27:59,840 what's going on or not and I'm over here 716 00:28:05,710 --> 00:28:01,580 miserable I don't think I actually have 717 00:28:07,090 --> 00:28:05,720 treated people poorly but I did not just 718 00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:07,100 like you said oh you seem like a pretty 719 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:08,630 happy person I probably seem like a very 720 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:11,210 happy person then just an extra edit it 721 00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:14,210 put a lot of stress on me okay and you 722 00:28:19,450 --> 00:28:16,310 met people that are really burdened with 723 00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:19,460 stress or not that thing's been in a 724 00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:23,360 subtle way yes I changed your your 725 00:28:27,550 --> 00:28:25,550 outlook on life really right don't you 726 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:27,560 you were living on the edge like you 727 00:28:29,610 --> 00:28:28,850 felt like this this sense of impending 728 00:28:32,830 --> 00:28:29,620 doom 729 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:32,840 exactly now some people might say that 730 00:28:37,180 --> 00:28:35,450 having a bad attitude or this sense of 731 00:28:41,290 --> 00:28:37,190 impending doom is not a good reason to 732 00:28:42,730 --> 00:28:41,300 stop believing in things because you 733 00:28:44,770 --> 00:28:42,740 know you're just doing it to feel good 734 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:44,780 and that's almost like you wanting to be 735 00:28:47,140 --> 00:28:46,370 a chief all because you think she poles 736 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:47,150 are happier 737 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:49,490 great point put your head in the sand 738 00:28:55,940 --> 00:28:53,250 yeah how would you respond to that 739 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:55,950 well I have to speak for myself I've 740 00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:57,570 known some I know some people they can 741 00:29:02,029 --> 00:29:00,480 do the scare video and they're prepared 742 00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:02,039 for it and they go out and have a 743 00:29:07,549 --> 00:29:04,620 wonderful life or so they say 744 00:29:09,020 --> 00:29:07,559 not me I just took it real serious you 745 00:29:10,850 --> 00:29:09,030 know if someone said that this thing is 746 00:29:12,169 --> 00:29:10,860 going to happen it's really soon and the 747 00:29:14,180 --> 00:29:12,179 other guy says it ain't you need to get 748 00:29:16,159 --> 00:29:14,190 prepared for that I don't have time for 749 00:29:18,380 --> 00:29:16,169 idle chitchat and these kind of things 750 00:29:20,090 --> 00:29:18,390 so it was all of a sudden I'm getting 751 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:20,100 geared up for this thing me and while 752 00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:21,360 everyone else around me is going on 753 00:29:26,450 --> 00:29:22,830 about their day like nothing's up 754 00:29:29,149 --> 00:29:26,460 good yes so I am I'm a square peg in a 755 00:29:30,919 --> 00:29:29,159 round hole all of a sudden and so if 756 00:29:32,419 --> 00:29:30,929 someone says well you can't just to 757 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:32,429 ignore these things well I'm not 758 00:29:37,159 --> 00:29:35,010 choosing well I am ignoring these things 759 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:37,169 because the effect on me was so dramatic 760 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:39,090 right I wanted more out of myself 761 00:29:44,690 --> 00:29:42,330 there's I can't these these fear videos 762 00:29:46,190 --> 00:29:44,700 I'll call them I can't control any of 763 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:46,200 these things I have no impact on these 764 00:29:48,890 --> 00:29:47,370 things whatsoever I watched a video 765 00:29:50,930 --> 00:29:48,900 today of a friend that's talking about 766 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:50,940 you they're gonna come take her guns big 767 00:29:53,299 --> 00:29:52,049 for your about taking the guns well 768 00:29:55,159 --> 00:29:53,309 maybe they will who knows what are you 769 00:29:56,419 --> 00:29:55,169 gonna do when they come take a gun I'll 770 00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:56,429 probably give it to them you know 771 00:29:58,940 --> 00:29:57,600 because I don't want to end up in jail 772 00:30:00,110 --> 00:29:58,950 or shot with the cases I've lived 773 00:30:02,299 --> 00:30:00,120 without a gun before I can do it again 774 00:30:05,810 --> 00:30:02,309 no big deal but these people that's just 775 00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:05,820 that's blasphemy the important thing for 776 00:30:08,570 --> 00:30:07,440 me as one is my faith in my family I 777 00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:08,580 always thought about your faith and 778 00:30:13,460 --> 00:30:10,590 family and these other things were 779 00:30:14,810 --> 00:30:13,470 affecting my faith in my family so I 780 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:14,820 have to make a decision what's more 781 00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:15,840 important well yeah but what about 782 00:30:18,919 --> 00:30:17,760 fighting for the Constitution you know 783 00:30:20,419 --> 00:30:18,929 what you don't have to fight on its own 784 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:20,429 I got my faith and family to do it first 785 00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:23,490 and if I've got all that in you know 786 00:30:27,049 --> 00:30:25,590 control then maybe I could go outside of 787 00:30:29,539 --> 00:30:27,059 it but that's that's the important thing 788 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:29,549 for me yeah I think you mentioned 789 00:30:33,620 --> 00:30:31,650 earlier I mean it's not just you know 790 00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:33,630 wanting to feel better it's also you saw 791 00:30:38,899 --> 00:30:37,049 these things not not coming true right 792 00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:38,909 after a while so you do it for years and 793 00:30:43,669 --> 00:30:40,950 years and nothing ever

808 00:31:20,060 --> 00:31:18,090 videos for 10 years and watch I've 809 00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:20,070 watched people that are from back then 810 00:31:25,010 --> 00:31:22,590 that are still in it and I've watched 811 00:31:28,130 --> 00:31:25,020 people that have came in and phased out 812 00:31:30,530 --> 00:31:28,140 mmm they left it but there's a new batch 813 00:31:31,790 --> 00:31:30,540 coming in now once it phase out kind I 814 00:31:33,620 --> 00:31:31,800 think you end up like me but they said 815 00:31:35,870 --> 00:31:33,630 you know this just this kind of sucks 816 00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:35,880 this is not a topic that makes me happy 817 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:38,910 you know what am i working for ok yes 818 00:31:42,530 --> 00:31:40,410 something bad may happen we'll do what 819 00:31:44,510 --> 00:31:42,540 we can but meanwhile I need to enjoy my 820 00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:44,520 Danny injure my family I'm working for 821 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:46,620 some you know this is nobody to live my 822 00:31:50,930 --> 00:31:48,570 life I had a lot of friends were 823 00:31:52,130 --> 00:31:50,940 subscribers to my channel did just kinda 824 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:52,140 you know I just got tired of the whole 825 00:31:55,370 --> 00:31:53,970 negative thing when they stopped 826 00:31:59,900 --> 00:31:55,380 watching they would offer did something 827 00:32:02,480 --> 00:31:59,910 else like I have so it's it's yet age 828 00:32:05,030 --> 00:32:02,490 thing like you go through a certain 829 00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:05,040 period in your life like your 20s 30s or 830 00:32:13,910 --> 00:32:11,100 whatever because yeah you see people of 831 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:13,920 all ages and that kind of thing but just 832 00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:15,690 say new people I shouldn't necessarily a 833 00:32:19,850 --> 00:32:17,640 newer generation but although it may be 834 00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:19,860 an age group there's there's new people 835 00:32:23,330 --> 00:32:21,390 coming on all the time I would think it 836 00:32:25,220 --> 00:32:23,340 just it just depends on what and there's 837 00:32:26,780 --> 00:32:25,230 another thing too is many of the bad 838 00:32:28,730 --> 00:32:26,790 things to be concerned out there just 839 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:28,740 repeated again it's just enough just 840 00:32:35,390 --> 00:32:31,890 like if the population roll population 841 00:32:37,730 --> 00:32:35,400 issue I mean I I just I have several 842 00:32:39,230 --> 00:32:37,740 books I did a long story but I think was 843 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:39,240 Ehrlichman or whatever had 19 we were 844 00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:41,610 supposed to get to the 80s and now the 845 00:32:46,940 --> 00:32:43,830 same thing is being rehashed 846 00:32:48,140 --> 00:32:46,950 and it was more people now that we you 847 00:32:49,850 --> 00:32:48,150 know we're not gonna make it we've got 848 00:32:53,210 --> 00:32:49,860 the 12 year window or something long now 849 00:32:56,330 --> 00:32:53,220 and it's just the rehash and old thing 850 00:32:58,790 --> 00:32:56,340 again and people once again they're 851 00:33:00,830 --> 00:32:58,800 pushing the buttons yeah I really think 852 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:00,840 if you look at it if I can alter your 853 00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:04,050 state if I'm if you understand how used 854 00:33:10,670 --> 00:33:05,640 cars were sold you really get the whole 855 00:33:13,370 --> 00:33:10,680 thing the the the but if they can if I 856 00:33:16,130 --> 00:33:13,380 can push your button from whatever 857 00:33:18,380 --> 00:33:16,140 things like whatever state it is I want 858 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:18,390 to put you in to which you participate 859 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:20,370 in

tomorrow I think that's what 863 00:33:28,770 --> 00:33:26,679 a lot of this is yeah you know we see in 864 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:28,780 politics we see it in in all these 865 00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:30,250 things but they just try you guys we're 866 00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:32,020 praying on each other's emotions all the 867 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:34,600 time and it's for manipulation try to

whatever yeah and they think disclosure 904 00:34:57,660 --> 00:34:57,250 is going to be the the big change in the 905 00:34:59,790 --> 00:34:57,670 world 906 00:35:00,990 --> 00:34:59,800 right it's different type of thing but 907 00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:01,000 it's still the same feelings I think 908 00:35:05,820 --> 00:35:03,220 yeah when they're when you're ox gets 909 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:05,830 gored it's a big deal you know it's yes 910 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:07,090 when you're in the thing that you're 911 00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:11,200 invested in you know that's just they're 912 00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:12,790 gonna fight back I had a thing at one 913 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:17,440 time where it was the the wolf crowd 914 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:19,450 people that were want

trappers and you didn't make accomplish 918 00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:27,970 something like that but I think out of 919 00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:29,440 all the crowds that even the flat earth 920 00:35:33,390 --> 00:35:31,240 guys are kind of top it no one could 921 00:35:34,170 --> 00:35:33,400 hold a candle to them they've the wolf 922 00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:34,180 crowd me 923 00:35:39,480

young people coming 929 00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:50,980 in and coming out but it's interesting 930 00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:52,869 you say that you think it's all kinds of 931 00:35:56,010 --> 00:35:53,740 different ages 932 00:35:58,650 --> 00:35:56,020 you think it's yeah it takes a certain 933 00:36:01,680 --> 00:35:58,660 amount of time for people to kind of 934 00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:01,690 work through these things I think if you 935 00:36:05,370 --> 00:36:03,280 look at like what brings a person to it 936 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:05,380 I think the videos the production is

00:38:01,760 --> 00:37:57,750 newsletter like she did that back then 990 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:01,770 in the in the early 80s they had let you 991 00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:04,560 step on it yeah and you get things 992 00:38:09,650 --> 00:38:05,910 through the mail and you'd read them it 993 00:38:12,530 --> 00:38:09,660 was very slow pace yeah but I mean back 994 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:12,540 then you heard about stuff I mean here 995 00:38:17,690 --> 00:38:15,450 we are instantaneous a big event could 996 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:17,700 take weeks before you heard about it you 997 00:38:19,580 --> 00:38:18,690 know especially something little middle 998 00:38:21,050 --> 00:38:19,590 east or something like that 999 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:21,060 weeks before we'd get a hold of it and 1000 00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:22,290 it was always from one or two sources 1001 00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:24,720 now you got people on the ground you 1002 00:38:28,430 --> 00:38:26,910 know that's amazing yeah I think it's 1003 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:28,440 interesting you do get the same types of 1004 00:38:32,930 --> 00:38:30,480 conversations there like in these 1005 00:38:34,910 --> 00:38:32,940 newsletters as you do in like Internet 1006 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:34,920 chat rooms even there it takes so much 1007 00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:36,930 longer to happen I did a bit of research 1008 00:38:39,830 --> 00:38:38,220 into the history of the Flat Earth 1009 00:38:42,970 --> 00:38:39,840 movement and it was back in the late 1010 00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:42,980 1880s when it was going on and they had 1011 00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:45,750 discussions in the letters columns of 1012 00:38:50,660 --> 00:38:47,460 newspapers and you can read these 1013 00:38:51,980 --> 00:38:50,670 letters going back find people and it 1014 00:38:58,100 --> 00:38:51,990 was just like people chatting on 1015 00:38:59,120 --> 00:38:58,110 Facebook so it's great for the economy 1016 00:39:01,460 --> 00:38:59,130 because you had deploy the guy with the 1017 00:39:04,430 --> 00:39:01,470 donkey and the everything else you know 1018 00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:04,440 the transport yeah kind of shows what 1019 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:06,420 these are they're kind of Universal yeah 1020 00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:09,450 things that people like to to have these 1021 00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:11,640 little drips of information and now 1022 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:14,670 you're getting them in much more overt I 1023 00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:16,610 think yes I think that's affected us 1024 00:39:21,140 --> 00:39:18,900 yeah that's effective could you just 1025 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:21,150 need to get a constant stream of this 1026 00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:23,970 stuff whereas before I mean so you go 1027 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:25,590 back then it was it was everything was 1028 00:39:30,110 --> 00:39:27,690 very slow even now with so many people 1029 00:39:34,130 --> 00:39:30,120 even when I started on YouTube myself I 1030 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:34,140 think it was 2000 2007 2008 but even 1031 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:36,570 from then to now because before I could 1032 00:39:42,140 --> 00:39:38,370 watch a video and I'd have to take my 1033 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:42,150 laptop get on on online and if I want to 1034 00:39:44,030 --> 00:39:43,410 show it someone had to take him to the 1035 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:44,040 laptop 1036 00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:46,410 mm-hmm yet he checked this out you know 1037 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:48,510 or I need to know if I had links going 1038 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:50,850 on back then but it was much slower but 1039 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:52,290 now with everyone has a phone my mother 1040 00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:54,210 has a phone I could you know ship or 1041 00:39:57,530 --> 00:39:55,680 something right now that's a taneous as 1042 00:40:00,020 --> 00:39:57,540 she could see it and once again if I 1043 00:40:00,980 --> 00:40:00,030 could push that button it's fishing I 1044 00:40:03,140 --> 00:40:00,990 like this person 1045 00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:03,150 participating what I am because it's 1046 00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:05,340 quickly just allowance people have a lot 1047 00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:08,310 less time to think about it I think oh 1048 00:40:11,330 --> 00:40:08,760 yeah 1049 00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:11,340 composing a letter to a newspaper and 1050 00:40:15,140 --> 00:40:13,020 it's very very different from just like 1051 00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:15,150 you know typing a response to someone on 1052 00:40:21,650 --> 00:40:17,910 Facebook so that shortening of the cycle 1053 00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:21,660 of responding to people this is very 1054 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:24,990 different no time to marinate yes yeah 1055 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,090 yeah I think that's probably an 1056 00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:28,800 important thing I sometimes try to get 1057 00:40:33,740 --> 00:40:31,320 better I try to not respond to things 1058 00:40:35,630 --> 00:40:33,750 sometimes especially if it's later late 1059 00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:35,640 at night I'll say I'll just I'll let 1060 00:40:41,210 --> 00:40:38,640 this one slip on this way and see what 1061 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:41,220 happens in the morning so you had a your 1062 00:40:47,390 --> 00:40:43,890 own YouTube channel yeah it's just it's 1063 00:40:49,940 --> 00:40:47,400 it's it's it's just me a seller five 1064 00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:49,950 five nine it's just me whatever I I race 1065 00:40:55,010 --> 00:40:52,710 cattle I have rescue dogs and cats 1066 00:40:56,690 --> 00:40:55,020 I just bought a dirt bike I talk a 1067 00:40:59,450 --> 00:40:56,700 little bit about the Bible sometimes I 1068 00:41:01,190 --> 00:40:59,460 get off into politics a little bit but 1069 00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:01,200 base for me YouTube is just a way I had 1070 00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:02,790 had certain friends that had channels 1071 00:41:06,020 --> 00:41:04,950 mm-hmm and we would just communicate 1072 00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:06,030 back and forth you're just making videos 1073 00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:08,310 back and forth I have like seven or 1074 00:41:11,630 --> 00:41:09,510 eight hundred subscribers I'm not a big 1075 00:41:13,190 --> 00:41:11,640 channel or anything like that but I'm 1076 00:41:14,420 --> 00:41:13,200 not you can't see what's your channel 1077 00:41:15,710 --> 00:41:14,430 about what's just about me 1078 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:15,720 so whatever I'm dealing with that day or 1079 00:41:20,930 --> 00:41:18,450 whatever before when they start out I 1080 00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:20,940 was a prepper channel and a couple years 1081 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:22,590 ago when he said okay that's enough of 1082 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:24,930 that I made all my videos private I 1083 00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:27,090 probably had six or seven hundred videos 1084 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:28,560 in short amount of time they were just 1085 00:41:32,540 --> 00:41:30,930 about prepping well coming collapse and 1086 00:41:34,910 --> 00:41:32,550 all this stuff and so when I made this 1087 00:41:37,010 --> 00:41:34,920 decision okay I'm done with this I just 1088 00:41:38,660 --> 00:41:37,020 shut all that stuff down as well and now 1089 00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:38,670 the channel is just was a prepper 1090 00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:40,710 channel at one time it's not now it's 1091 00:41:43,849 --> 00:41:42,480 just whatever I'm doing well I guess 1092 00:41:46,130 --> 00:41:43,859 that kind of reflects your your own 1093 00:41:48,109 --> 00:41:46,140 interests because yeah the channel is 1094 00:41:50,450 --> 00:41:48,119 just about you and what you're thinking 1095 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:50,460 about it's yeah SCO you were thinking 1096 00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:52,050 about prepping all the time and now 1097 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:53,730 you've got time to think about other 1098 00:41:58,970 --> 00:41:55,650 things like your family your faith in 1099 00:42:02,050 --> 00:41:58,980 your right right I'm happier I don't I'm 1100 00:42:04,780 --> 00:42:02,060 getting far less views but I'm happier 1101 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:04,790 that's all you think blue doesn't matter 1102 00:42:10,910 --> 00:42:08,970 so are you gonna do anything going 1103 00:42:12,349 --> 00:42:10,920 forward with the this type of thing 1104 00:42:13,730 --> 00:42:12,359 prepping or conspiracies or anything 1105 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:13,740 like that you've got neat plans to do 1106 00:42:18,270 --> 00:42:14,770 Rosie just basically 1107 00:42:20,460 --> 00:42:18,280 something is out of your life now well I 1108 00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:20,470 learned a lot of skills about prepping 1109 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:23,470 you cannot unlearn skills mm-hmm okay I 1110 00:42:27,780 --> 00:42:25,410 do like I said I do raise cattle 1111 00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:27,790 occasionally your run out of water pump 1112 00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:29,680 goes down or something so you have to be 1113 00:42:33,210 --> 00:42:31,510 prepared for you know instances or 1114 00:42:35,310 --> 00:42:33,220 something like that happens I've always 1115 00:42:37,860 --> 00:42:35,320 been a bulk buyer of food okay I don't 1116 00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:37,870 hoard stuff like I
