00:00:10,559 these magic words 5 00:00:14,629 --> 00:00:12,719 less than one percent of people get 6 00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:14,639 addicted to oxycontin that's not 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:21,750 we're going to do everything in our 8 00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:23,610 power to make sure justice is served 9 00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:26,400 [Music] 10 00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:28,320 that's a clip from the

so hard to hear but 14 00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:40,399 i think we have to go there because 15 00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:42,800 first and foremost dopesick is really 16 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,680 about the corruption of science and 17 00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:48,000 that's really a great tie-in to today's 18 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:48,879 guest 19 00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:51,360 the very excellent ricky

00:01:03,189 --> 00:01:00,800 top-notch 24 00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:03,199 scientists i mean people who just have 25 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,119 stellar academic and publishing 26 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:07,680 credentials but are being 27 00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:10,080 banned of course and suppressed because 28 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,360 they don't follow the plandemic dogma 29 00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:16,000 and you just can't get a better example 30 00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:19,119 i think hard example of the corruption 31 00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:22,320 of science than that so we do talk about 32 00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:24,640 that but if you've listened to skeptico 33 00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:27,200 you might anticipate that i pulled ricky 34 00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:29,920 in some other directions as well for 35 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:31,759 example 36 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:34,479 we do not want to get pulled into 37 00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:37,520 another one of those protracted medical 38 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:40,799 discussions what we want to understand 39 00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:41,920 is 40 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,479 something that we could identify as good 41 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,640 old-fashioned evil 42 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,479 so i do realize that this is a drama 43 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:55,040 i've been pounding on for a while but 44 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,320 it always generates such an interesting 45 00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:00,240 discussion 46 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:02,079 because you don't want to go there ricky 47 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,680 that's where i'm pushing you that's how 48 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,680 i want to get skeptical it's not about 49 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:07,200 it's not just about pleasant 50 00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,239 conversations it's not just about 51 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,319 everyone has an opinion and i'm going to 52 00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:14,480 start a commune in puerto vallarta 53 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:17,280 mexico oh even better i got my seed 54 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,920 stacked up in the garage and you know i 55 00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:22,640 can last obviously none of that works 56 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,120 because on the on some kind of grander 57 00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:27,040 spiritual level 58 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:28,879 who am i why am i here what am i 59 00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:31,920 supposed to do no absolutely it's evil 60 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:34,000 and i think that 61 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:36,959 a lot of the people who are the most 62 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,160 outspoken the mo people that i've 63 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,720 taught dr peter mccullough dr kerry 64 00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:44,720 maday dell big tree 65 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:47,440 mickey willis all these people 66 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:50,080 are spiritual or religious and they're 67 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:51,840 the ones who seem 68 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:54,560 and and i could go down the list you 69 00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:55,920 attempted to scare the out of the 70 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,560 population for 18 months 71 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,200 it worked on in many cases there's a lot 72 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:03,599 of people out there who truly truly are 73 00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,640 afraid 74 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,239 so i think there's true believers 75 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,159 there's some people who truly are 76 00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,400 pushing or helping 77 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:13,200 the evil people who have a greater 78 00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:14,400 agenda 79 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:15,599 who aren't 80 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:17,200 true believers in the nonsense that 81 00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:18,800 they're pushing on to the public but 82 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,840 using these people as pawns 83 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,680 ricky is really doing some great

221 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,400 which some people might know because of 222 00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:24,400 the basketball hall of fame and whatnot 223 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:25,599 and 224 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,319 it was a huge immigrant population tons 225 00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:30,000 of polish people tons of portuguese 226 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:31,599 people right off the boat 227 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:33,200 so even till the state people were like 228 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:34,800 how's your dad been in this country for 229 00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:35,839 so long 230 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,479 and he still doesn't speak as good of 231 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:40,479 english as you would expect him to 232 00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:41,919 and i'm like because he's never really 233 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:44,000 had to he goes to portuguese butcher 234 00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,560 shops portuguese bakeries he's worked 235 00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,240 for

himself that was kind of the deal 239 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:56,959 was that my dad would be out in the 240 00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:58,480 field taking care of that stuff and then 241 00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:00,000 he would have a partner that would be a 242 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:03,040 little bit more book savvy and and savvy 243 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:05,040 with the language which also made it 244 00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:06,800 easier to kind of 245 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,080 for him not to know what the hell was 246 00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:10,399 going on yeah yeah i was trying to be 247 00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,440 nice but you're right yeah you could 248 00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:13,279 kind of see where this story was going 249 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:16,320 and yeah so without a doubt but 250 00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:19,680 coming to uh um america and and kind of 251 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,959 uh 252 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,959 just seeing the whole capitalistic kind 253 00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,880 of uh a world that you know i think 254 00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:26,640 something you talk about now i'm getting 255 00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:27,920 i'm losing my train i thought a little 256 00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:29,920 bit i'm moving into something you're 257 00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:32,240 what was your question before i continue 258 00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:33,519 this thought and go somewhere where 259 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,399 maybe 260 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:36,240 no please please continue because i 261 00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,519 think it's your background on how you 262 00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:39,680 got into all this stuff and and what you 263 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:40,880 bring to it 264 00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:42,880 you're because what you're kind of 265 00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,720 talking about i think is part of the 266 00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,959 perspective that you bring whether it's 267 00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:48,560 explicit or 268 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:51,200 just kind of baked into it you know it's 269 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,959 cool you have a different 270 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:55,120 a different perspective it's a 271 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:56,880 it's a first generation kind of 272 00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,600 perspective kind of guy and 273 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,120 yeah so so 274 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,720 we i end up 275 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:04,399 working construction with my father we 276 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:06,399 had the small business uh with the 277 00:10:10,150

reading 283 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:21,839 writing emails and as time went by 284 00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:23,839 we started in o4 so it was right after 285 00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:27,200 high school well i graduated o3 and we 286 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,560 started o4 287 00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,640 and at that time really i mean you could 288 00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:32,560 kind of get away with a handshake and 289 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,399 and there was there wasn't nearly as 290 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:36,480 much paperwork as there is now now it's 291 00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:39,760 like i spend so much of my time 292 00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:41,760 in the office just catching up with 293 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,560 paperwork and certified payrolls and all 294 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:46,560 this you know uh submittals and all 295 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:49,120 these requirements uh working for the 296 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:50,560 state and that's a whole other 297 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:51,600 conversation i mean working in 298 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:53,600 massachusetts it's such a headache i 299 00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:56,240 mean just so much paperwork so and and 300 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,360 this really 301 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,200 kind of highlights some of the issues 302 00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:01,440 that a lot of like libertarians talk 303 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,959 about how 304 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:04,480 governments and 305 00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:05,680 a lot of 306 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:09,279 in the way you know and you can kind of 307 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,279 see that and it really benefits the 308 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,959 bigger companies because smaller 309 00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:15,200 companies like us we have to do all the 310 00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:17,200 same amount of paperwork and 311 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:18,880 deal with all the same certificates and 312 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:20,079 requirements 313 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:20,880 but 314 00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,680 we have a small office it's me 315 00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:25,279 you know so it's like i don't have a lot 316 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:27,920 of help and you know this is all stuff 317 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,640 that doesn't really 318 00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:32,240 it you don't you don't make any money 319 00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:33,440 doing it it's just stuff that you have 320 00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:35,680 to do to eventually do the work to make 321 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,680 you money but anyway so to make a long 322 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,360 story short that's kind of the world 323 00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:41,680 that i got caught up into i was a 324 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,079 musician initially and then as you get 325 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,160 older and things like work and all these 326 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,720 other things get in the way 327 00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:50,399 the band just became impossible to keep 328 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:52,000 together it was just 329 00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:54,079 impossible and it was i'm one of those 330 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:56,160 people that i'm kind of ocd and when i 331 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,040 start a project i i i don't like all i 332 00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:01,120 do is think about it and and think about 333 00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,440 how to expand it and how to make it the 334 00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,519 best thing ever 335 00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:07,440 and when people aren't investing the 336 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:10,240 same amount of mental energy and effort 337 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:12,480 you kind of get discouraged so i started 338 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,200 doing music on my own and this was uh 339 00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:17,680 right you know i started doing it 340 00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:19,040 basically sometime after high school 341 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:20,560 when the band broke up 342 00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,040 but that got really hard too to kind of 343 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,519 find time to do all that produce a whole 344 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,440 song on your own all the music you hear 345 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,279 on the ripple effect podcast is all my 346 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,440 original music but it takes forever to 347 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:33,600 do that it's time i mean it's super 348 00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:35,920 rewarding because as you know anything 349 00:12:39,269 --> 00:12:37,760 that the more work it takes to 350 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:39,279 accomplish something the more rewarding 351 00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:41,040 it is after it's done 352 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:42,639 but 353 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:45,120 you know i i just it it really did get 354 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:46,800 difficult to put out 355 00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:47,920 music 356 00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:50,839 at a rate that i that was satisfying 357 00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:53,600 and podcasting was just one of those 358 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:56,639 things that that i i really 359 00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:58,560 got attracted to because i was doing a 360 00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:01,040 lot of commuting for work and i'm like 361 00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:03,680 oh my god i love documentaries i love 362 00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:07,200 reading and i love learning i can do 363 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:09,200 basically or learn the same type of 364 00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,560 things i was learning from documentaries 365 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,560 and books but in the car i can listen to 366 00:13:15,990 --> 00:13:14,240 a conversation listen to really 367 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:16,000 thought-provoking conversations that 368 00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:16,800 were 369 00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:18,800 organic and to me that was like the 370 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:20,079 really important part that i think 371 00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,519 people really liked was how organic 372 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:25,360 podcasts were you know you turn on the 373 00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:28,079 tv there's agendas you tur you read a 374 00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:30,639 newspaper there's you know narratives 375 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,279 that they're pushing on you so you i i 376 00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:35,519 always felt like okay the whole world is 377 00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:36,959 trying to sell you something and they 378 00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:38,240 have a narrative that they're pushing on 379 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:40,240 you and podcasts 380 00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:42,000 were at least the ones that i was 381 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,760 listening to and i know there's now like 382 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:45,760 corporate podcasts or whatnot but the 383 00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:48,560 ones i i was listening to seemed like a 384 00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:50,160 a organic conversation the type of 385 00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,000 conversation that you and i would have 386 00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:54,560 if we're at a bar and we're just 387 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:57,120 bullshitting and talking and and you 388 00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,639 know it leads here and then it goes 389 00:14:01,430 --> 00:14:00,639 there and all these things so it makes 390 00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:01,440 it 391 00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:03,279 to me that that that was the appeal to 392 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:05,519 it was listening to 393 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:08,399 to to real people just share ideas 394 00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:09,920 challenge ideas that's why you know i 395 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:12,079 always said i enjoy what you do in 396 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,199 regards to your your willingness to to 397 00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:16,639 kind of push back a little bit because i 398 00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:18,880 think that is when you learn and you 399 00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:21,040 don't want to be in an echo chamber i 400 00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:22,639 i also think that's why the union 401 00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:25,600 unwanted is such a pop popular and 402 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:28,880 unique show because we we do 403 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:30,160 a little bit of everything we bring 404 00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:31,920 people from all different backgrounds 405 00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:33,920 and researchers and different thinkers 406 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:36,079 and we don't always agree 407 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,720 but it's nice to to 408 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:40,160 bring those 409 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:41,760 ideas together and then see them 410 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:43,760 challenge in real time and see people 411 00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:46,320 discuss them and agree and disagree 412 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:47,680 because that's where you grow and that's 413 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:49,279 where you learn so 414 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:50,959 i eventually 415 00:14:55,189 --> 00:14:53,680 got in a podcast like like i said and 416 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:55,199 after a while 417 00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:57,839 i uh i'm like you know what i have this 418 00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:00,560 recording studio i have this uh 419 00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:02,880 equipment i know how to record vocals i 420 00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,399 know how to use pro tools it's a 421 00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:06,320 software i use for my music 422 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:08,560 and i'm like why not start a podcast and 423 00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:11,360 i had a co-host that i had to talk him 424 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,519 into it he's a little older than i am 425 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:15,360 and he's like what the the 426 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:17,120 podcast and why would anybody want to 427 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:18,480 just hear us talk 428 00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:19,360 and 429 00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,959 i would tell them like listen when we go 430 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:22,399 out and we have these 431 00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:24,320 thought-provoking conversations where we 432 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:25,360 would either 433 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:28,959 share some personal stories or 434 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,279 share some some really deep philosophy 435 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:33,120 or something interesting that's going on 436 00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:34,399 in our lives or something interesting 437 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:36,240 that we've read or watched 438 00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:37,839 we enjoy those conversations that's why 439 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,519 we say time flies right you're you're 440 00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:41,440 talking you're at a bar you're at the 441 00:15:45,749 --> 00:15:43,759 gym you're at the grocery grocery store 442 00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:45,759 wherever you are if you have those type 443 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:47,920 of deep conversations the time just 444 00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:50,959 flies and you and it's really enjoyable 445 00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:52,880 and i'm like all we're doing is 446 00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,959 recording those conversations sharing 447 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,639 them with the world and hoping people 448 00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:58,720 enjoy them as much as enjoy listen to 449 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:01,040 them as much as we enjoy having them and 450 00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:02,560 the concept 451 00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:05,360 to him initially seemed so 452 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,839 because i guess on the surface level the 453 00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:09,279 idea of just recording two people 454 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,519 talking and putting it out there seems 455 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:13,360 ridiculous but when you really put in 456 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:15,519 perspective and you're like okay well do 457 00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:18,320 i enjoy having these conversations do i 458 00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:19,839 enjoy conversation do i learn from 459 00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:22,399 conversation um do i enjoy meeting 460 00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:24,240 somebody who has a really interesting 461 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:26,079 thought-provoking perspective 462 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:27,920 and and talking to them and kind of 463 00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:30,240 dissecting the way they think and and 464 00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:32,800 some of their life experiences well i do 465 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:34,480 then why wouldn't other people enjoy 466 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:37,759 that and so it's really cool to archive 467 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,000 those conversations and and and share 468 00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:41,839 them with the world and as the ripple 469 00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:44,959 effect podcast grew it one it became a 470 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:47,360 example of the ripple effect because the 471 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:50,480 whole idea was or at least the influence 472 00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:52,160 wha or the 473 00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:54,399 initial uh thought was 474 00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:56,399 to to start a ripple regardless how 475 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,040 little or how large it might become 476 00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:01,440 do something because i was kind of doing 477 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:03,360 a un and still kind of i am doing an 478 00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:04,959 unfulfilling job 479 00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:08,000 that really doesn't give me a purpose 480 00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:09,839 and i felt like something was missing 481 00:17:14,710 --> 00:17:12,000 and i've always been very artistic so it 482 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:14,720 also help helps with kind of flexing 483 00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:16,720 that muscle and exercising that muscle 484 00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:18,959 of doing something creative 485 00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:21,120 so it will because again 486 00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,720 i think when you get older you kind of 487 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,039 get in a routine you do a job and it 488 00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:27,520 becomes very repetitive and your 489 00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,679 thinking becomes repetitive which i 490 00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:31,600 think can be a huge issue too which is 491 00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:33,600 why i think traveling or doing 492 00:17:37,909 --> 00:17:35,600 psychedelics or anything that gets you 493 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:37,919 out of the same pattern of thinking is 494 00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:40,320 beneficial like just get yourself out of 495 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:41,840 routine from time to time do something 496 00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:43,440 that's difficult do something that's 497 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:45,919 different do something that will just 498 00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:47,200 make you look at things maybe from a 499 00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:50,160 different perspective uh but it gave me 500 00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:51,520 a sense of purpose and i'm like you know 501 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:54,000 what regardless if one person listens or 502 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:55,840 a million people listen um at least i'm 503 00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:57,120 gonna feel 504 00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,039 like i'm doing something and then as i 505 00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,200 became a parent it you know we talked 506 00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:03,200 about this when you're on my show it was 507 00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:05,200 really interesting for me to think about 508 00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:07,120 my kids being able to 509 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:09,760 listen to their father 510 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,559 before becoming a father and and through 511 00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:14,720 the whole experience and listening i 512 00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:16,080 mean it's interesting for me to listen 513 00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:17,840 to myself 514 00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:20,240 years ago and just see where my ideas 515 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:22,400 were and my thinking was and then see it 516 00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:24,960 progress i think it'll even even be more 517 00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:27,600 interesting for my children which 518 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,799 you know they'll go back and be like 519 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:30,880 okay what was my dad like when he first 520 00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:32,160 became a father what was my dad like 521 00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:33,840 when i was six when i was seven when i 522 00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:35,840 you know or what just seeing who he was 523 00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:38,640 when he was really young and 524 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,480 i i think that's that's all super 525 00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:43,200 interesting i think many of us 526 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:45,679 deal with this issue of not having some 527 00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:48,400 sense of fulfillment or purpose and we 528 00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:49,840 are just stuck in the system and that's 529 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:51,840 a whole other conversation that we could 530 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:54,400 you know also get into i'm a big fan of 531 00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:56,080 dr christopher ryan i think we might 532 00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:57,679 have mentioned him maybe we mentioned 533 00:19:01,909 --> 00:18:59,840 him when you were on my show uh who 534 00:19:03,669 --> 00:19:01,919 wrote civilization he's been on my show 535 00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:03,679 uh some years ago 536 00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:05,760 and i i just love this idea of 537 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:06,960 questioning like what the hell is 538 00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:09,520 progress and he he uh christopher ryan 539 00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:11,039 always says this he's like if the 540 00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:13,120 winners right if the game is 541 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,440 financial and getting all these material 542 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:18,000 things which is basically the the 543 00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:20,080 the goal of most people 544 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,559 and it's a goal that's not really 545 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:24,000 something that's internal that we've 546 00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:25,679 decided this is what we want i think 547 00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:27,039 it's a lot of it's 548 00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,440 society and marketing you know edward 549 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:31,840 bernays and propaganda all these uh 550 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:33,679 techniques of getting you to want things 551 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:35,600 that you don't actually need 552 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:37,120 i think it convinces us that like okay 553 00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:38,640 if i go down this road of getting all 554 00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:40,000 these things 555 00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:41,760 then that's what success is and that's 556 00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:43,679 also what leads to happiness and i think 557 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,440 many of us go down that road and find 558 00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:46,960 out like okay i'm not happy still what 559 00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:48,400 the wrong and then you start 560 00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:51,840 self-medicating or you end up um just 561 00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:54,320 trying to to find purpose or 562 00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:55,679 if you don't end up finding purpose you 563 00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:57,120 want to depressed and 564 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,320 and full of anxiety and uh it leads to a 565 00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:02,320 bunch of issues so i think it's really 566 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:04,240 important for people to find something 567 00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:05,760 they love 568 00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:09,200 pursue it even if it's not financially 569 00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:11,280 a um 570 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:13,919 it's not a a good idea in regards to 571 00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:15,200 finances 572 00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:17,600 do what what you enjoy my parents are 573 00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:18,720 old school 574 00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:20,640 like foreigners who grew up on a farm 575 00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:22,400 and and came to america to financially 576 00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:23,600 get ahead 577 00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:25,919 and i remember always arguing not 578 00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:27,520 arguing but like butting hands with my 579 00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:30,080 mother on anything i wanted to do that 580 00:20:32,549 --> 00:20:31,679 didn't get me financially ahead it was 581 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:32,559 like well 582 00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:33,679 you know what if you get hurt playing 583 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:34,720 basketball what do you get her playing 584 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:36,799 soccer what if you get like what are you 585 00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,159 are you making any like the first 586 00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:40,000 question anytime i do anything and i'm 587 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:42,640 i'm a little bit proud of like oh i i 588 00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:44,240 released my first podcast you know the 589 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:45,600 first question out of my mother's mouth 590 00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:47,440 is oh are you making any money doing it 591 00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:50,159 you know oh i released uh uh some 592 00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:52,559 music uh first solo music oh great but 593 00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:53,760 are you making any money doing it you 594 00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:55,679 know it's like all it's always like and 595 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:57,280 i think a lot of it's like the the 596 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,240 immigrant mentality of you come from a a 597 00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:03,200 place where you're poor you had no 598 00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:05,360 running water you came to america took 599 00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:08,080 this giant risk to get ahead financially 600 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,760 and then there's maybe some of that 601 00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:11,840 because my wife has a grandmother i 602 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:14,720 would talk to a lot about um 603 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:16,320 she grew up during the great depression 604 00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:19,520 she passed away uh not too long ago but 605 00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:21,679 i remember talking to her and it always 606 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:22,880 seemed like 607 00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:25,360 because she went through such struggles 608 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:26,720 there's always she was almost 609 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,880 traumatized by those struggles and she 610 00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,480 was always concerned about possibly 611 00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:32,559 going back to that place so now she was 612 00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:34,320 like even though you know she's a good 613 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:36,080 saver and she she worked her ass off her 614 00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:37,360 whole life so money wasn't really an 615 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:39,600 issue she always you would never know it 616 00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:41,120 because she was always acting like money 617 00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:43,840 was the issue by you know trying to find 618 00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:46,559 every place to save money or whatnot and 619 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:47,840 i almost think 620 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:50,400 the anxiety of of money growing up 621 00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:52,240 because when i came to america and 622 00:21:55,430 --> 00:21:53,360 believe me i 623 00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:55,440 i wasn't poor to to 624 00:21:59,990 --> 00:21:57,520 uh the extent that some people report 625 00:22:03,029 --> 00:22:00,000 you know where you don't have 626 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:03,039 food and water or whatever um i mean i 627 00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:04,400 had the necessities growing up but i 628 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:05,600 didn't have anything past the 629 00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:07,120 necessities i didn't you know i had 630 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:09,440 handed me down clothes i had all so and 631 00:22:13,669 --> 00:22:12,080 and money was always a topic that i 632 00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:13,679 remember my parents just stressing about 633 00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:14,960 like how do we cut corners here how do 634 00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:16,240 we save money here don't spend money 635 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:18,320 there you know and i think it even 636 00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:19,520 internally 637 00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:23,200 subconsciously somewhere it caused a uh 638 00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,280 a relation where like money 639 00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:27,440 was i always had this relation of like 640 00:22:30,789 --> 00:22:29,919 negative feelings it was like anxiety 641 00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:30,799 uh 642 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,200 fights arguments um 643 00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:35,360 it was so uh growing up like i almost 644 00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:36,640 went in the other direction where i'm 645 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:38,720 like i wanna not think about money at 646 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,799 all i'm like that artist where i'm just 647 00:22:44,710 --> 00:22:42,480 like i just want to do what i love and 648 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:44,720 just hope things fall into place and not 649 00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:45,760 have money 650 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:47,440 be in the back of my head all the time 651 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:49,200 influencing every decision i make and 652 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,480 everything i do 653 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:52,159 and uh you know one thing i always tell 654 00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:53,039 my friends 655 00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:54,240 it's like you can make more money you 656 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:55,840 can't make more time you know time's the 657 00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:58,080 most valuable thing and it's like if i'm 658 00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:01,440 out you know on vacation with my kids or 659 00:23:04,789 --> 00:23:03,520 you know out to you with my wife and 660 00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:04,799 we're like we're gonna drink a 661 00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:06,320 little too much and we're gonna get a 662 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,919 hotel you know this is before kids when 663 00:23:12,710 --> 00:23:09,840 we could do spontaneous things like this 664 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,720 and get a hotel and and maybe overpay 665 00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,159 for the hotel because we want to have a 666 00:23:18,149 --> 00:23:15,600 good time tonight and we want to be 667 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:18,159 responsible and and stay locally and not 668 00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:20,159 drive home it let's just have a 669 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:21,760 good time you know and that was always 670 00:23:25,669 --> 00:23:23,840 like i'm like i can always make more 671 00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:25,679 money later you know and so all these 672 00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:27,440 things kind of factored into my thinking 673 00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:29,919 and you know now i'm going into a bunch 674 00:23:33,430 --> 00:23:31,360 of just 675 00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:33,440 childhood stuff that i think you know 676 00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:35,360 just influences who you become and who 677 00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:37,280 you are which is uh is always 678 00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:38,960 interesting you know just like going 679 00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:40,720 back and reflecting 680 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:42,240 on your childhood 681 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:44,640 and then trying to figure out okay 682 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,640 what had a negative or positive effect 683 00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:48,960 on me or what influenced me that that 684 00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:51,120 molded my my way of thinking and my 685 00:23:55,269 --> 00:23:53,279 thought process now and i think we all 686 00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:55,279 we all have that right we all have 687 00:23:58,390 --> 00:23:56,880 things that we can look back at and be 688 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:58,400 like okay i think that a bit bigger 689 00:24:04,149 --> 00:24:01,360 impact on me than maybe you know anybody 690 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:04,159 thought would at the moment you know so 691 00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:06,080 it's it's fascinating it's it's all you 692 00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:08,559 know it's all part of kind of 693 00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:10,080 you know putting those pieces together 694 00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:12,000 and figuring out yourself and figuring 695 00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:13,600 out the world around you which is i 696 00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:15,760 guess the goal of my show and the goal 697 00:24:19,510 --> 00:24:17,760 of all of it i i think it's similar to 698 00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:19,520 your show one thing i love about your 699 00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:21,120 your show is that 700 00:24:24,149 --> 00:24:22,720 it's those big questions that you talk 701 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:24,159 about and i think those big questions 702 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:25,440 aren't asked 703 00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:27,200 enough and 704 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,640 i think we're both very similar i've 705 00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:30,480 heard you say this too 706 00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:32,240 about how you're not a religious person 707 00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:33,919 i'm not either 708 00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:36,159 but i appreciate the fact that religious 709 00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:38,559 people do ask those questions or people 710 00:24:43,269 --> 00:24:40,880 who are in the philosophy ask those 711 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,279 questions and i think that there's a lot 712 00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:45,600 of people who are just robots going on 713 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:47,279 with their day and never ask those 714 00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:49,760 questions and 715 00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:51,760 sometimes it's too late by the time you 716 00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:53,600 realize like maybe i should be asking 717 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,440 those questions because i've been living 718 00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:57,120 a life without purpose 719 00:25:02,549 --> 00:24:59,120 or i've been unhappy and i've been 720 00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:02,559 masking it with this or that and um so i 721 00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:05,840 yeah i think podcasts are absolutely 722 00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:07,279 important because if you don't have 723 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,760 religion if you don't have a church or 724 00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:11,760 if you're not interested in philosophy 725 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:13,440 maybe you might listen to a podcast that 726 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,600 might help you 727 00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:17,919 self-reflect a little bit and ask those 728 00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:19,200 what i think are super important 729 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:21,039 questions 730 00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:24,240 tell us about the union of the unwanted 731 00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:26,000 and tell us in particular you know when 732 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:28,960 i talk to normies and i talk to a bunch 733 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:31,200 of normies 734 00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:34,240 on my show too and i 735 00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:36,080 i don't want to claim like you know 736 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:37,840 that's like a 737 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,320 complete goal of the thing but it just 738 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:43,200 turns out to be i mean i talked to who 739 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,880 i'm going to bring them up on the screen 740 00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:46,720 i talked to scott shea what an 741 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:48,720 interesting conversation guys probably a 742 00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:51,679 billionaire or close to it started a 743 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,520 huge bank in new york and just wrote a 744 00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:55,440 book on 745 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:57,600 conspiracies 746 00:26:02,230 --> 00:26:00,240 in academia but he's just focused on 747 00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:02,240 conspiracies against uh 748 00:26:07,830 --> 00:26:05,520 jews and anti-zionism and we zionism and 749 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:07,840 we had a really interesting quote he was 750 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:09,360 very good because i really challenged 751 00:26:12,549 --> 00:26:11,279 him on that but he was really able to 752 00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:12,559 kind of 753 00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:13,679 be there 754 00:26:18,549 --> 00:26:16,240 you know uh pam popper we both just 755 00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:18,559 talked too recently and i think we could 756 00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:20,880 talk about that in particular in 757 00:26:25,029 --> 00:26:22,559 how it has to do with science but who 758 00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:25,039 else oh these people you know sarah and 759 00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:27,600 jack gorman denying the deniers these 760 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:30,240 are two people that have phds from 761 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:31,840 colombia 762 00:26:39,029 --> 00:26:35,120 jack is still teaches at columbia and i 763 00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:39,039 guess the reason i bring it up is 764 00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:45,110 what what the union of the unwanted 765 00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:47,840 does that like these normies that i'm 766 00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:49,279 talking about those people that have 767 00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:50,799 been on the show and i could go through 768 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:52,960 all the lists you know resverg i could 769 00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:55,120 go through the last 10 people that i've 770 00:27:01,590 --> 00:26:58,720 had on the show eight out of ten of them 771 00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:01,600 would not understand the basic 772 00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:04,159 purpose the need 773 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,200 for union of the unwanted the i they 774 00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:09,279 don't really get and i guess i want to 775 00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:10,960 kind of bring this up and and have you 776 00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:12,480 talk about it because you have personal 777 00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:14,640 experience with this 778 00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:16,480 being banned 779 00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:20,000 being bad for no reason you're 780 00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:21,919 interviewing a top 781 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:25,520 virologist recognized you know 782 00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:27,840 in medical journals and you're being 783 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:30,480 banned because you're

in trouble for word 823 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:59,200 stuff with doctors which is kind of 824 00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:00,240 surprising because i'm like they're 825 00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:02,240 going to get me for when i have maybe a 826 00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:04,159 researcher who doesn't have a doc you 827 00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:07,360 know doesn't have a phd somebody who who 828 00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:09,279 doesn't practice medicine that would 829 00:29:13,590 --> 00:29:11,679 make more sense you know but when you're 830 00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:13,600 specifically going after 831 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:16,399 you know i think dr kerry maday was one 832 00:29:20,789 --> 00:29:18,880 um dr robert malone 833 00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:20,799 i mean all these doctors that had on and 834 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,640 their shows were being flagged 835 00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:24,320 and actually the first show that got 836 00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:26,880 flagged i believe was kevin sorbo 837 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:29,600 hercules which was hilarious because 838 00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:31,440 i'm like okay well i didn't think he 839 00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,679 said anything too controversial but um 840 00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:35,600 but they're picking and choosing what 841 00:29:38,149 --> 00:29:37,279 narrative you're going to be able to see 842 00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:38,159 and 843 00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:40,240 they're i mean it's so deep when you 844 00:29:44,710 --> 00:29:42,320 think of the analytics the information 845 00:29:46,789 --> 00:29:44,720 that they gather all the 846 00:29:48,789 --> 00:29:46,799 great minds and software that that they 847 00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:48,799 have they know exactly 848 00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:49,919 what 849 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:51,360 they want you to see 850 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,840 how it affects who you are and what you 851 00:29:58,950 --> 00:29:55,679 become and how you think 852 00:30:00,870 --> 00:29:58,960 so it's it's scary you know it is scary 853 00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:00,880 but the censorship issue this is why 854 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:03,039 when i went to rockfin 855 00:30:08,310 --> 00:30:05,200 initially i was because i i truly 856 00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:08,320 believe in the idea of of open source 857 00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:10,880 right i'm a big fan of james corbett 858 00:30:14,470 --> 00:30:12,640 when when uh way before i started my 859 00:30:16,630 --> 00:30:14,480 podcast i was he was one of the first 860 00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:16,640 guests on my show and i love this idea 861 00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:18,159 of open source like i don't care if i 862 00:30:22,950 --> 00:30:20,000 get the clicks i don't care if my 863 00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:22,960 website gets clicks put put the 864 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:24,399 information anywhere you want upload or 865 00:30:28,149 --> 00:30:25,600 whatever and i'm like i love that 866 00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:28,159 because it it shows that he's about the 867 00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:29,360 message he's about getting these 868 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:31,600 conversations out there he's not about 869 00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:34,480 um you know making money and if he and 870 00:30:37,830 --> 00:30:36,480 he takes donations obviously 871 00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:37,840 if he can make money he can do it full 872 00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:39,440 time which he ends up 873 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:41,200 doing and and that's one of the reasons 874 00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:43,760 we get the product but he had faith in 875 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:46,159 the people that were getting value out 876 00:30:49,990 --> 00:30:47,279 of his 877 00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:50,000 product that they would contribute and 878 00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:52,880 and that end up being the case but 879 00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:55,120 you know so these alternative platforms 880 00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:58,240 i you know i never monetized on youtube 881 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:59,679 because i was always concerned about 882 00:31:01,830 --> 00:31:00,399 like 883 00:31:03,909 --> 00:31:01,840 kind of you know for a lack of better 884 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,919 term being a business partner with with 885 00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,760 youtube i'm like i never monetize i 886 00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:07,360 always age restricted my stuff and i 887 00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:09,039 think i went under the radar for a while 888 00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:11,120 i remember when dr robert malone was on 889 00:31:15,269 --> 00:31:13,600 my show he he contacted me like a day or 890 00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:15,279 two later he's like how the hell is our 891 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:17,200 interview still on youtube i'm like i 892 00:31:20,710 --> 00:31:18,799 don't know i'm like honestly i'm like i 893 00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:20,720 feel like i'm going out under the radar 894 00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:22,880 and it's okay and i don't know if the 895 00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:25,039 algorithms were were confused too 896 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:26,480 because i would have somebody on like 897 00:31:31,909 --> 00:31:28,880 professor richard wolf who's a you know 898 00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:31,919 socialist and marxist scholar and and 899 00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:34,080 you know uh goes on shows just to talk 900 00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:35,760 about those topics and i would have a 901 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:38,720 league camp on who's uh you know a 902 00:31:43,269 --> 00:31:40,960 left-leaning uh like progressive 903 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:43,279 comedian and then i would have somebody 904 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:45,440 on like roger stone or whatever so i 905 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:46,960 don't know if maybe they were because 906 00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:48,880 you look at the q anon people or the 907 00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:51,279 like the real hardcore trump people 908 00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:52,960 they're the ones who were eliminated 909 00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:55,600 first and i'm like so i kind of had a 910 00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:57,200 little bit of hope that like maybe i'll 911 00:32:00,070 --> 00:31:58,799 go under the radar not because i care 912 00:32:02,470 --> 00:32:00,080 about youtube that's the other thing i 913 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:02,480 want to emphasize it's because shows 914 00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:04,080 like yours and other shows that are 915 00:32:08,070 --> 00:32:05,919 still on youtube that 916 00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:08,080 go against the grain like it's they're 917 00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:10,880 necessary because the people who are 918 00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:13,039 going on rockfin or odyssey or bitchu 919 00:32:16,389 --> 00:32:14,960 shooter rumble or any other websites you 920 00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:16,399 can find the video version of my 921 00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:17,840 episodes 922 00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:20,240 there are people who most likely 923 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:23,440 already have similar views or at least 924 00:32:27,269 --> 00:32:25,360 intrigued with those uh alternative 925 00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:27,279 perspectives but there's a lot of 926 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:29,120 you know use your word normies it's it's 927 00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,200 true there's a lot of people out there 928 00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:33,039 fault it's not a fall of their own like 929 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:34,960 they might have never been exposed to 930 00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:37,440 something that truly 931 00:32:42,789 --> 00:32:40,240 shattered their their world view and if 932 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:42,799 i can reach a couple of them on youtube 933 00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:44,960 because that's unfortunately the the 934 00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:46,000 majority of people when they're 935 00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:47,600 searching for information they're using 936 00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:49,120 google one and they're using youtube 937 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:50,960 second it's the second biggest search 938 00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:52,880 engine in the world so to be able to 939 00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,640 reach some of them 940 00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:56,399 would would be good i think it's a good 941 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:59,440 thing and and it's necessary so it's a 942 00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:00,960 shame that they're 943 00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:02,480 getting rid of everything i mean 944 00:33:06,230 --> 00:33:04,880 obviously it's not about money it's not 945 00:33:08,710 --> 00:33:06,240 because there's some big channels that 946 00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:08,720 have been removed off youtube that i'm 947 00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:11,360 sure make them some decent money i mean 948 00:33:14,549 --> 00:33:12,640 you look at uh 949 00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:14,559 what's his name um 950 00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:18,000 uh the right-wing uh show uh 951 00:33:21,669 --> 00:33:20,080 crowder he he was uh 952 00:33:22,870 --> 00:33:21,679 you know another guy who's been getting 953 00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:22,880 in trouble and fighting with youtube i 954 00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:25,760 mean his show it's a huge show i'm sure 955 00:33:30,549 --> 00:33:28,000 they make youtube a lot of money so it's 956 00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:30,559 like it it's obvious it's not about the 957 00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:32,320 money it's about the narrative it's 958 00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:35,039 about a greater agenda and uh and the 959 00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:36,720 unions don't want it came from that 960 00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:38,640 because what happened was even though i 961 00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:41,039 wasn't banned until recently i would get 962 00:33:44,870 --> 00:33:42,720 warnings from time to time on my youtube 963 00:33:46,870 --> 00:33:44,880 channel and a lot of other people that 964 00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:46,880 were friends of ours especially during 965 00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:48,720 2020 were getting 966 00:33:52,950 --> 00:33:51,120 banned or censored or deleted off all 967 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,960 the major platforms 968 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:54,480 so 969 00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:56,000 it was that it actually came from the 970 00:34:00,389 --> 00:33:58,480 origin of the unit unwanted came from 971 00:34:01,590 --> 00:34:00,399 like i always enjoyed doing swap cast if 972 00:34:03,430 --> 00:34:01,600 you go back 973 00:34:05,909 --> 00:34:03,440 you know in my archives you'll find a 974 00:34:08,149 --> 00:34:05,919 lot of shows where i'll i'll combine a 975 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:08,159 couple guests and just because i think 976 00:34:11,270 --> 00:34:09,599 we can all bounce things off each other 977 00:34:13,030 --> 00:34:11,280 and it would it would lead to really 978 00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:13,040 interesting conversations so i was 979 00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:14,879 always a fan of those and then i ended 980 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:15,760 up 981 00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:19,040 being on mike's obdm show 982 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,200 and charlie it's like hey you were just 983 00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:23,040 on my favorite show and i'm like really 984 00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:24,560 he's like yeah i love the obd i'm like 985 00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:25,679 how about you 986 00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:27,679 like you know i we all do a show 987 00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:29,679 together we'll do a swap cast and he's 988 00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:31,359 like oh that'd be awesome 989 00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:33,200 and then we decided to do a swap cast 990 00:34:36,389 --> 00:34:34,720 then i'm like hey let me email a couple 991 00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:36,399 people and see if anybody else wants a 992 00:34:40,310 --> 00:34:39,119 comment we'll do like a a hangout show 993 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:40,320 and uh 994 00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:42,320 funny enough the only person who i 995 00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:43,760 emailed out of like you know a handful 996 00:34:47,349 --> 00:34:45,440 of people was sam sam was the only one 997 00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:47,359 so it ended up being us four 998 00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:49,119 and so it's funny how things work out 999 00:34:52,629 --> 00:34:50,480 because it's like if this little thing 1000 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,639 turned out slightly different would 1001 00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:54,240 would i be here right now or would this 1002 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:56,480 show even have been created so sam 1003 00:35:00,310 --> 00:34:58,880 because maybe if it was a big turnout 1004 00:35:02,150 --> 00:35:00,320 you know if everybody i emailed showed 1005 00:35:03,589 --> 00:35:02,160 up maybe you know it wouldn't we 1006 00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:03,599 wouldn't have had the chemistry and 1007 00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:06,160 decided as a group to to continue this 1008 00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:08,560 thing but sam was on the show and the 1009 00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:10,720 same triple a just so people believe 1010 00:35:15,589 --> 00:35:12,480 from the tinfoil hat podcast and eight 1011 00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:15,599 million other shows he does but he uh he 1012 00:35:20,550 --> 00:35:17,839 also has zero a spiritual podcast and a 1013 00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:20,560 bunch of uh other shows but 1014 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:22,160 we're all talking and we're talking 1015 00:35:26,470 -->

media community we 1055 00:36:41,510 --> 00:36:39,839 got them all together 1056 00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:41,520 we talked about solutions and what we're 1057 00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:43,680 dealing with and uh and it was awesome 1058 00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:46,240 and we i loved it and i've i've always 1059 00:36:50,069 --> 00:36:47,920 been a people's person like i love 1060 00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:50,079 meeting people i feel like everybody has 1061 00:36:54,150 --> 00:36:52,880 a interesting story or interesting well 1062 00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:54,160 i shouldn't say everybody there's some 1063 00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:56,000 dumb people out there that are too 1064 00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:57,920 fascinating but there's 1065 00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:00,560 the majority of the time um i'm 1066 00:37:03,910 --> 00:37:02,160 pleasantly surprised that people are 1067 00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:03,920 much more interesting and fascinating 1068 00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:06,560 than initially think in many cases and 1069 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:08,000 so i've always loved meeting people and 1070 00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:09,760 talking to them and i remember even when 1071 00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:13,040 i was single like going out um 1072 00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:14,640 my friends would think i was kidding but 1073 00:37:17,270 --> 00:37:15,760 like 1074 00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:17,280 much of the fun of being single and 1075 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:18,800 meeting girls was like hearing their 1076 00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:20,560 story and and they would always like 1077 00:37:23,829 --> 00:37:22,240 think i'm i'm like just busting their 1078 00:37:24,870 --> 00:37:23,839 balls like i was making a joke no no i 1079 00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:24,880 actually 1080 00:37:28,710 --> 00:37:26,800 care about like where they're from or 1081 00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:28,720 you know how they were brought up and 1082 00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:31,520 all that stuff so um so it was a perfect 1083 00:37:34,950 --> 00:37:32,960 fit for me because i'm like i love the 1084 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:34,960 uni unwanted i get to have a bunch of 1085 00:37:40,069 --> 00:37:36,640 people together talk to them meet some 1086 00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:40,079 new people uh have on old friends and 1087 00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:41,920 have them you know meet other friends 1088 00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:44,560 and it became like a community and 1089 00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:46,079 what i was seeing a lot when we would 1090 00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:47,359 bring people together and the cool thing 1091 00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:48,480 is like 1092 00:37:53,589 --> 00:37:50,560 mike's been doing podcasting for a long 1093 00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:53,599 time i've been doing uh podcasting for a 1094 00:37:59,109 --> 00:37:56,720 long time and charlie's he had a book dr 1095 00:38:01,430 --> 00:37:59,119 what's global control which um got he 1096 00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:01,440 got to know a lot of podcasters and 1097 00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:02,720 people in the community sam's been 1098 00:38:07,109 --> 00:38:04,720 around for a while too 1099 00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:07,119 so we all kind of 1100 00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:08,880 we're all similar in regard it's funny 1101 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:10,720 how different we are but one thing that 1102 00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:12,000 i've told the guys is i'm like the one 1103 00:38:16,150 --> 00:38:13,920 thing that makes us all very similar and 1104 00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:16,160 i think one of the reasons why it works 1105 00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:18,640 is that none of us have labels like 1106 00:38:23,829 --> 00:38:20,480 we're not like a conservative guy or a 1107 00:38:25,990 --> 00:38:23,839 liberal guy or a whatever like 1108 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:26,000 we just like meeting people and 1109 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:28,560 exploring ideas and because of that i 1110 00:38:33,510 --> 00:38:31,440 think you look at our track history 1111 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:33,520 people like us and people were willing 1112 00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:35,760 to come on the show because they didn't 1113 00:38:39,190 --> 00:38:37,119 feel like they're going to get attacked 1114 00:38:41,430 --> 00:38:39,200 they didn't feel like we had a agenda 1115 00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:41,440 because they knew us as as people didn't 1116 00:38:45,109 --> 00:38:43,520 have agendas or 1117 00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:45,119 we weren't trying to spark debates for 1118 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:46,640 the sake of debating or making somebody 1119 00:38:48,550 --> 00:38:47,680 look bad 1120 00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:48,560 so 1121 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:51,440 having that that uh great relationship 1122 00:38:55,030 --> 00:38:52,880 with people with all the guests have 1123 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:55,040 been on my show throughout the years i i 1124 00:38:58,150 --> 00:38:56,640 you know i just started booking people 1125 00:39:00,390 --> 00:38:58,160 and i started bringing like just 1126 00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:00,400 interesting people in and it just kept 1127 00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:02,720 growing and it was cool because it 1128 00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:05,200 almost like self marketed itself because 1129 00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:07,920 the whole open source thing initially 1130 00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:10,320 i i pushed this on the guys because one 1131 00:39:14,069 --> 00:39:11,680 that's what i do with my show i tell 1132 00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:14,079 people like post it anywhere you want 1133 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:16,800 i'm on a lot of alternative platforms 1134 00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:18,320 and sometimes 1135 00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:20,720 other people with my shows 1136 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:23,440 on their channel have more subscribers 1137 00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:25,200 and more views in my show but i don't 1138 00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:26,400 care because at least they're getting 1139 00:39:32,069 --> 00:39:29,680 getting exposed to the the conversation 1140 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:32,079 which is the most important thing so but 1141 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:34,400 it started self marketing because what 1142 00:39:38,950 --> 00:39:36,240 would happen is that 1143 00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:38,960 you know monica perez or the truth zilla 1144 00:39:43,190 --> 00:39:41,200 crew or whoever it might be when they're 1145 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:43,200 on we send them the links and we're like 1146 00:39:47,750 --> 00:39:46,079 you can share it on your platform and so 1147 00:39:50,150 --> 00:39:47,760 people who might not know what the union 1148 00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:50,160 don't want it is they end up hearing it 1149 00:39:54,390 --> 00:39:52,400 on some other platform and people would 1150 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:54,400 talk about it and and whatever so it 1151 00:39:58,550 --> 00:39:56,160 just kept growing and then you'd see a 1152 00:40:00,230 --> 00:39:58,560 lot of people connect after after the 1153 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:00,240 show that was one thing i really liked 1154 00:40:05,270 --> 00:40:02,880 was that after the show you would see 1155 00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:05,280 two people that were on the show 1156 00:40:09,190 --> 00:40:06,800 interview each other and i'm like oh 1157 00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:09,200 this is really creating a community so 1158 00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:12,079 it was which is why i've pushed back a 1159 00:40:15,430 --> 00:40:13,760 little bit like there's been a little 1160 00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:15,440 bit of a internal conversation about 1161 00:40:19,510 --> 00:40:17,920 like hey you know um should we do ads 1162 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:19,520 should we do you know and it's kind of 1163 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:21,200 just been thrown out there i'm like 1164 00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:23,040 i've always i always feel like i'm the 1165 00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:24,800 jerk who kind of pushes back against it 1166 00:40:30,230 --> 00:40:27,760 a little bit just because i i love 1167 00:40:32,069 --> 00:40:30,240 the idea so much and what it's become 1168 00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:32,079 and how it's helped other podcasters 1169 00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:33,520 that's like another thing is like if you 1170 00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:36,240 go back in our archives one thing i we 1171 00:40:42,710 --> 00:40:40,160 consciously do is

00:40:46,880 mean at one time truthzilla was that i 1175 00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:47,839 remember 1176 00:40:53,190 --> 00:40:51,920 me wherever they wrote me uh about 1177 00:40:55,990 --> 00:40:53,200

does help these 1191 00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:22,319 smaller shows 1192 00:41:26,630 --> 00:41:24,560 and um it makes me feel good like you 1193 00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:26,640 know i've had people say

00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:45,599 or even any the participants it's like 1203 00:41:50,390 --> 00:41:48,800 it's a community and people people love 1204 00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:50,400 tuning in and seeing who's going to be 1205 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:52,160 on there next and it's funny because 1206 00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:53,440 people will always ask like who's going 1207 00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:54,880 to be on the show like even participants 1208 00:41:59,030 --> 00:41:56,880 will be and i'm like honestly i can tell 1209 00:42:02,710 --> 00:41:59,040 you who i asked to come on the show but 1210

this issue where it's like it's not 1216 00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:12,640 an issue but we'd always kind of joke 1217 00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:14,000 about how 1218 00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:16,000 you have

00:42:46,480 tons of emails i'm like listen like if 1238 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:48,480 you want to show up i'll let me know and 1239 00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:50,720 i'll send you the zoom link or sometimes 1240 00:42:55,510 --> 00:42:53,280 i would just send the zoom link even if 1241 00:42:56,790 --> 00:42:55,520 i'm like here's a zoom link even if you 1242 00:42:58,790 --> 00:42:56,800 said you can't make it if you want to 1243 00:42:59,910 --> 00:42:58,800 drop in for a little bit drop in you 1244 00:43:01,109 --> 00:42:59,920 know you 1245 00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:01,119 even if you're late or whatever don't 1246 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:02,319 worry and some of those people who said 1247 00:43:05,109 --> 00:43:03,839 they couldn't make it eventually drop 1248 00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:05,119 drop in because they don't feel any 1249 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:06,640 pressure to have to be there from 1250 00:43:11,109 --> 00:43:09,359 beginning to end and um so it just i 1251 00:43:13,349 --> 00:43:11,119 don't know i just it really is a blast 1252 00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:13,359 it's one of my favorite shows to do 1253 00:43:15,910 --> 00:43:14,640 it's it's 1254 00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:15,920 fascinating 1255 00:43:18,790 --> 00:43:17,040 it's 1256 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:18,800 personally you know and i don't speak 1257 00:43:22,069 --> 00:43:20,400 for the other guys personally i really 1258 00:43:24,550 --> 00:43:22,079 enjoyed the conversations like last 1259 00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:24,560 night and like many of the uh other 1260 00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:26,880 shows we've done where it's on a little 1261 00:43:32,390 --> 00:43:30,640 bit more serious topics and it's 1262 00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:32,400 we get to kind of just get a lot of 1263 00:43:35,109 --> 00:43:33,280 different people from different 1264 00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:35,119 backgrounds and different researchers 1265 00:43:38,069 --> 00:43:36,800 and bounce ideas off each other and you 1266 00:43:40,069 --> 00:43:38,079 never know 1267 00:43:41,990 --> 00:43:40,079 how one person can contribute or not 1268 00:43:43,589 --> 00:43:42,000 contribute sometimes 1269 00:43:45,670 --> 00:43:43,599 we'll be talking about something and you 1270 00:43:47,910 --> 00:43:45,680 think a a participant would have nothing 1271 00:43:49,190 --> 00:43:47,920 to include on that specific topic and 1272 00:43:50,150 --> 00:43:49,200 they do have something to include 1273 00:43:51,589 --> 00:43:50,160 because they've done a little bit of 1274 00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:51,599 research that you weren't aware of or 1275 00:43:55,750 --> 00:43:53,440 they read a book that you didn't know 1276 00:43:57,030 --> 00:43:55,760 that they read that uh you know so they 1277 00:44:00,150 --> 00:43:57,040 have a little bit of insight on that 1278 00:44:01,670 --> 00:44:00,160 topic so i that whole just all the wild 1279 00:44:03,190 --> 00:44:01,680 cards and all the 1280 00:44:04,470 --> 00:44:03,200 you don't know what's gonna happen or 1281 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,480 what's gonna be brought up and who's 1282 00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:05,920 gonna get along and who's not gonna get 1283 00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:08,480 along all that is what makes it exciting 1284 00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:09,599 and 1285 00:44:12,550 --> 00:44:10,960 weirdly enough 1286 00:44:14,309 --> 00:44:12,560 we've never had an issue really with 1287 00:44:16,230 --> 00:44:14,319 like people talking too much and having 1288 00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:16,240 like really like shut somebody up we've 1289 00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:18,160 never had an issue with people being um 1290 00:44:21,829 --> 00:44:20,480 disrespectful uh it is funny because 1291 00:44:24,790 --> 00:44:21,839 i've been talking to charlie about it 1292 00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:24,800 not too long ago about i i've had 1293 00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:26,480 made some questionable decisions i 1294 00:44:30,470 --> 00:44:28,400 remember right before election time when 1295 00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:30,480 like people were really 1296 00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:33,119 emotional and politically like worked up 1297 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,480 uh i had greg palace join us on a show 1298 00:44:41,109 --> 00:44:38,400 um with some 1299 00:44:41,990 --> 00:44:41,119 notable people that were like super mega 1300 00:44:43,109 --> 00:44:42,000 and 1301 00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:43,119 i'm like i should have known it was 1302 00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:45,359 going to turn up probably not great but 1303 00:44:49,670 --> 00:44:46,640 i'm like 1304 00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:49,680 most people will be respectful and they 1305 00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:51,280 were like they were but there was a 1306 00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:53,760 little bit of butting of heads and 1307 00:44:58,230 --> 00:44:56,079 i think some people who are kind of new 1308 00:44:59,510 --> 00:44:58,240 to to the alternative media community 1309 00:45:02,470 --> 00:44:59,520 they don't realize that like craig 1310 00:45:05,190 --> 00:45:02,480 palace is really really a og in regards 1311 00:45:07,109 --> 00:45:05,200 to um you know this world and even 1312 00:45:07,990 --> 00:45:07,119 though i disagree with him on you know 1313 00:45:09,670 --> 00:45:08,000 probably 1314 00:45:11,190 --> 00:45:09,680 quite a few things 1315 00:45:13,589 --> 00:45:11,200 you can't take away from some of the 1316 00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:13,599 great work he's done his uh journalists 1317 00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:16,400 work in regards to uh just everything 1318 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:19,440 from the oil spill to so many other uh 1319 00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:22,079 corruption stories throughout the years 1320 00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:24,000 and um so i think you know bringing 1321 00:45:27,430 --> 00:45:26,240 anybody and same thing when i had roger 1322 00:45:28,870 --> 00:45:27,440 stone on 1323 00:45:29,910 --> 00:45:28,880 nobody knew roger stone was going to be 1324 00:45:30,630 --> 00:45:29,920 on 1325 00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:30,640 i 1326 00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:40,000 he's on or they'll spread the word and 1327 00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:41,440 then they'll share the link or whatever 1328 00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:43,280 so that's why we also changed the link 1329 00:45:47,589 --> 00:45:46,000 every episode you know i initially i 1330 00:45:49,190 --> 00:45:47,599 think somebody proposed like oh are you 1331 00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:49,200 guys gonna use the same mic i'm like 1332 00:45:51,910 --> 00:45:50,400 hell no we're not gonna use the same 1333 00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:51,920 like because in one episode we'll have 1334 00:45:57,589 --> 00:45:54,720 like 400 people you know if people just 1335 00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:57,599 jump on so the whole thing is is just 1336 00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:00,640 fascinating and exciting and 1337 00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:02,640 during 2020 i think the other thing that 1338 00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:04,560 was super super important and we get a 1339 00:46:08,550 --> 00:46:06,640 lot of positive feedback about 1340 00:46:10,790 --> 00:46:08,560 is that a lot of people who felt like 1341 00:46:13,589 --> 00:46:10,800 they're going crazy that like nobody in 1342 00:46:15,510 --> 00:46:13,599 the world was seeing the facade and 1343 00:46:17,109 --> 00:46:15,520 seeing the illusion they'll listen to 1344 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:17,119 the union of unwanted and there'd be 1345 00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:19,040 people from the you know the uk you know 1346 00:46:21,589 --> 00:46:20,240 just like last night people from all 1347 00:46:23,589 --> 00:46:21,599 over the world 1348 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:23,599 different continents or wherever 1349 00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:25,440 and you're like holy i'm not alone 1350 00:46:29,589 --> 00:46:27,200 like there there's a huge group of 1351 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:29,599 people just podcasters and alternative 1352 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:30,720 media 1353 00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:33,599 people and researchers that feel the way 1354 00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:35,440 i'm feeling and seeing the things i'm 1355 00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:37,440 saying and realizing it's not making 1356 00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:40,480 sense and i think it gave them hope it 1357 00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:42,640 gave them hope it gave them community 1358 00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:45,200 and uh i think one thing you hear a lot 1359 00:46:51,270 --> 00:46:48,640 and from podcast listeners is that some 1360 00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:51,280 of them don't have the friends they can 1361 00:46:55,829 --> 00:46:53,760 talk to about maybe the deep 1362 00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:55,839 questions and and 1363 00:47:01,109 --> 00:46:57,359 conversations you might have on your 1364 00:47:02,470 --> 00:47:01,119 podcast so when they tune in to skeptico 1365 00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:02,480 they feel like they're having those 1366 00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:03,920 conversations they want to have they 1367 00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:05,520 feel like they're they're a part of 1368 00:47:10,790 --> 00:47:07,839 those conversations that they enjoy 1369 00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:10,800 and it gives them it almost like 1370 00:47:16,630 --> 00:47:13,200 it's almost weird because we do so much 1371 00:47:18,390 --> 00:47:16,640 talking and we record so much of it that 1372 00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:18,400 there's people who really know us really 1373 00:47:21,670 --> 00:47:19,760 well there's i mean we all have 1374 00:47:23,589 --> 00:47:21,680 listeners that are hardcore fans who 1375 00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:23,599 listen to every episode and they 1376 00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:25,040 probably know me better than i know 1377 00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:27,040 myself because because there's probably 1378 00:47:30,549 --> 00:47:28,559 things that i've said in the past that 1379 00:47:32,549 --> 00:47:30,559 i've forgotten about or ideas that i've 1380 00:47:34,390 --> 00:47:32,559 had um that have changed that i'm not 1381 00:47:36,549 --> 00:47:34,400 aware of and 1382 00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:36,559 you know you meet those people they know 1383 00:47:39,510 --> 00:47:38,000 like they feel like they know you but 1384 00:47:41,430 --> 00:47:39,520 you have no idea who they are so it's 1385 00:47:42,710 --> 00:47:41,440 always like this weird relationship um 1386 00:47:44,549 --> 00:47:42,720 sometimes i have people write me and i'm 1387 00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:44,559 like this person really knows me 1388 00:47:47,589 --> 00:47:45,520 this guy 1389 00:47:49,349 --> 00:47:47,599 really listens to all you know all my 1390 00:47:51,109 --> 00:47:49,359 shows and um 1391 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:51,119 and i have no idea who they are you know 1392 00:47:56,230 --> 00:47:54,160 so but they listen to my show and they 1393 00:47:57,670 --> 00:47:56,240 feel like we're friends and i like that 1394 00:47:59,510 --> 00:47:57,680 i want to be their friend i wish i could 1395 00:48:01,510 --> 00:47:59,520 be everybody's friend and 1396 00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:01,520 and i'm glad that they feel like that 1397 00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:03,680 and i think that's one of the powers 1398 00:48:06,390 --> 00:48:04,480 of 1399 00:48:08,549 --> 00:48:06,400 shows like yours and mine and all the 1400 00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:08,559 shows that really embrace conversation 1401 00:48:11,910 --> 00:48:09,760 because i think conversation is one of 1402 00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:11,920 the most powerful things in the world i 1403 00:48:16,390 --> 00:48:15,440 i think you know you can look at 1404 00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:16,400 you know 1405 00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:22,880 the founding fathers 1406 00:48:27,750 --> 00:48:25,760 were debating things probably drunk and 1407 00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:27,760 half in a bag 1408 00:48:32,230 --> 00:48:29,440 at a bar uh 1409 00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:32,240 at a pub having a drink and and and 1410 00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:34,480 debating and conversating and 1411 00:48:37,829 --> 00:48:36,000 challenging each other 1412 00:48:39,750 --> 00:48:37,839 and um 1413 00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:39,760 and and coming up with solutions and 1414 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:42,240 challenging those solutions and and and 1415 00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:43,920 talking about issues and 1416 00:48:49,829 --> 00:48:46,400 so so much comes out of it and i think 1417 00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:49,839 verbalizing your ideas and verbalizing 1418 00:48:53,750 --> 00:48:51,680 how you feel sometimes you also find 1419 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:53,760 flaws in them right like so 1420 00:48:57,829 --> 00:48:56,880 when you're being interviewed i've i've 1421 00:48:59,270 --> 00:48:57,839 seen it 1422 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:59,280 it's happened to me quite a few times 1423 00:49:03,030 --> 00:49:00,880 where i'm being interviewed and i get 1424 00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:03,040 asked a question and in the process of 1425 00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:03,760 me 1426 00:49:07,829 --> 00:49:05,599 answering the question i realized like 1427 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:07,839 i'm not really strong on this opinion 1428 00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:10,240 and i'm changing it as i'm describing it 1429 00:49:13,589 --> 00:49:11,920 or i just say sometimes i don't know and 1430 00:49:15,190 --> 00:49:13,599 i'm not sure which i think is completely 1431 00:49:17,589 --> 00:49:15,200 okay too and i don't think we do enough 1432 00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:17,599 of because the ego gets in the way of 1433 00:49:21,510 --> 00:49:20,160 that and i think sometimes the ego says 1434 00:49:22,549 --> 00:49:21,520 oh it's a sign of weakness if you say 1435 00:49:24,150 --> 00:49:22,559 you don't know 1436 00:49:26,950 --> 00:49:24,160 it's a sign of weakness if you say 1437 00:49:28,470 --> 00:49:26,960 you're not sure or to sign a weakness if 1438 00:49:31,829 --> 00:49:28,480 you're not you don't have a strong 1439 00:49:34,549 --> 00:49:31,839 belief on something and i don't 1440 00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:34,559 to me anybody who's too sure of 1441 00:49:38,069 --> 00:49:36,400 everything they say 1442 00:49:40,150 --> 00:49:38,079 makes me nervous because i'm like you 1443 00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:40,160 can't be sure about all that you know 1444 00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:41,599 and it's like are you really do you have 1445 00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:43,359 blinders on are you is there is there 1446 00:49:47,109 --> 00:49:45,359 some flaws in your thinking 1447 00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,119 so it's um 1448 00:49:51,510 --> 00:49:49,760 i think as you get older you 1449 00:49:55,109 --> 00:49:51,520 you're much more 1450 00:49:57,510 --> 00:49:55,119 open to the idea of not knowing and 1451 00:49:59,750 --> 00:49:57,520 you're much more open and you accept it 1452 00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:59,760 and you embrace it and 1453 00:50:03,829 --> 00:50:01,119 you know it's like that quote you know 1454 00:50:05,030 --> 00:50:03,839 the more you know the 1455 00:50:06,230 --> 00:50:05,040 the less you 1456 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:06,240 how does it go it's like the more you 1457 00:50:09,190 --> 00:50:08,079 know the more you're the less no you 1458 00:50:12,230 --> 00:50:09,200 don't know 1459 00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:12,240 yes exactly exactly so yeah so and and i 1460 00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:15,040 think that that happens i mean uh i i 1461 00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:16,880 think i've i've talked about it with so 1462 00:50:20,950 --> 00:50:19,040 many guests on my show how much i i love 1463 00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:20,960 philosophy because 1464 00:50:25,270 --> 00:50:23,200 it's asks those bigger questions that 1465 00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:25,280 some people go to religion for but 1466 00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:26,960 without the the religious part of it you 1467 00:50:31,109 --> 00:50:29,119 know the organized religious issues it's 1468 00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:31,119 just asking questions and a lot of these 1469 00:50:35,349 --> 00:50:33,040 questions are never really answered i 1470 00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:35,359 mean it's debated over i mean the same 1471 00:50:39,190 --> 00:50:37,440 questions are debated over and over 1472 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:39,200 again and you know there's so many 1473 00:50:42,230 --> 00:50:40,160 different philosophers who have 1474 00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:42,240 different perspectives on on so many 1475 00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:44,800 different things and and even to to the 1476 00:50:47,349 --> 00:50:45,680 point where it's like well what's 1477 00:50:49,109 --> 00:50:47,359 reality what's real what's truth you 1478 00:50:50,150 --> 00:50:49,119 know all these things and they seem 1479 00:50:51,430 --> 00:50:50,160 silly 1480 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:51,440 at first but when you really start 1481 00:50:55,270 --> 00:50:52,800 dissecting it you're like you're right 1482 00:50:57,109 --> 00:50:55,280 you can make that argument you can uh 1483 00:50:58,710 --> 00:50:57,119 debate that you can't look at it from 1484 00:51:00,549 --> 00:50:58,720 that perspective are you familiar with 1485 00:51:02,069 --> 00:51:00,559 like thaddeus russell he's another guy 1486 00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:02,079 who i find really fascinating i've had 1487 00:51:06,790 --> 00:51:05,280 him on the show in the past and 1488 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:06,800 he wrote the renegade history united 1489 00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:08,480 states he's he's another guy much like 1490 00:51:14,230 --> 00:51:11,200 yourself that i've always enjoyed 1491 00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:14,240 listening to because i know you 1492 00:51:18,069 --> 00:51:16,720 there's always maybe maybe i'm 1493 00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:18,079 i'm trying like how do i say this out 1494 00:51:23,190 --> 00:51:19,760 sound like a 1495 00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:23,200 like i'm i enjoy conflict but i it's not 1496 00:51:26,309 --> 00:51:24,480 that i enjoy conflict but any time i 1497 00:51:28,790 --> 00:51:26,319 listen to you or 1498 00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:28,800 or like thaddeus russell or any of these 1499 00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:30,480 people who aren't afraid of being like 1500 00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:32,160 okay i disagree with this person but i'm 1501 00:51:36,790 --> 00:51:33,839 not just gonna politely 1502 00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:36,800 uh you know let them talk i'm gonna 1503 00:51:41,270 --> 00:51:39,280 politely disagree with them and politely 1504 00:51:42,470 --> 00:51:41,280 you know push back and and see where 1505 00:51:44,710 --> 00:51:42,480 this conversation goes and i think 1506 00:51:46,470 --> 00:51:44,720 that's that's so needed i think that is 1507 00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:46,480 a problem with the union of unwanted at 1508 00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:49,599 times is that everybody is too polite 1509 00:51:51,990 --> 00:51:51,119 sometimes and if you disagree with 1510 00:51:54,230 --> 00:51:52,000 somebody 1511 00:51:56,549 --> 00:51:54,240 then sometimes you keep it to yourself 1512 00:51:57,829 --> 00:51:56,559 but i want it to be a platform where 1513 00:51:59,589 --> 00:51:57,839 eventually 1514 00:52:01,270 --> 00:51:59,599 people realize like it's okay to 1515 00:52:02,309 --> 00:52:01,280 disagree and nobody's gonna get mad at 1516 00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:02,319 you and nobody's gonna hate you and 1517 00:52:06,309 --> 00:52:04,640 nobody's gonna not invite you next time 1518 00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:06,319 because of it 1519 00:52:10,069 --> 00:52:08,880 we're here to share ideas and challenge 1520 00:52:13,349 --> 00:52:10,079 ideas 1521 00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:13,359 because i think it's really easy to 1522 00:52:17,349 --> 00:52:16,240 point the finger and and and really you 1523 00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:17,359 know 1524 00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:18,960 question what other people believe but 1525 00:52:22,150 --> 00:52:20,480 it's really hard to question what we 1526 00:52:24,790 --> 00:52:22,160 believe and i've been talking for so 1527 00:52:25,910 --> 00:52:24,800 damn long that um 1528 00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:25,920 i should probably 1529 00:52:30,549 --> 00:52:27,839 let you expand on some of this 1530 00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:30,559 well yeah i might because 1531 00:52:35,270 --> 00:52:32,640 i do think you know people need to tune 1532 00:52:37,829 --> 00:52:35,280 in to the union of the unwanted 1533 00:52:39,109 --> 00:52:37,839 and i pulled up on the screen for people 1534 00:52:40,549 --> 00:52:39,119 who are watching it 1535 00:52:43,190 --> 00:52:40,559 kind of what it looks like because it 1536 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:43,200 really shouldn't work as well as it does 1537 00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:45,599 like you just said you shouldn't be able 1538 00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:46,640 to have 1539 00:52:51,270 --> 00:52:50,000 16 different podcasters that like to 1540 00:52:54,710 --> 00:52:51,280 talk 1541 00:52:56,870 --> 00:52:54,720 on a zoom call and have them do 1542 00:52:57,750 --> 00:52:56,880 what you just described 1543 00:53:03,030 --> 00:52:57,760 your 1544 00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:03,040 we'll give him credit and sam as well 1545 00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:04,160 but 1546 00:53:09,430 --> 00:53:06,240 the the the energy that you guys bring 1547 00:53:11,270 --> 00:53:09,440 to this makes it work in a way that 1548 00:53:13,990 --> 00:53:11,280 you wouldn't expect it to work and in 1549 00:53:16,309 --> 00:53:14,000 particular that last point that you just 1550 00:53:18,790 --> 00:53:16,319 made there ricky is i find to be very 1551 00:53:20,390 --> 00:53:18,800 very true and that's that 1552 00:53:22,150 --> 00:53:20,400 you do 1553 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:22,160 generate real 1554 00:53:27,510 --> 00:53:23,920 thinking and 1555 00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:27,520 counter points within a group without a 1556 00:53:31,910 --> 00:53:30,160 lot of uh you know dissension or 1557 00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:31,920 confrontation or uncomfortableness you 1558 00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:33,920 know which i i know from my show people 1559 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:36,720 are uncomfortable with uncomfortableness 1560 00:53:41,190 --> 00:53:39,119 there isn't a lot of that but it isn't 1561 00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:41,200 like everybody just patting each other 1562 00:53:44,390 --> 00:53:42,400 on the back either 1563 00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:44,400 there's real discussion 1564 00:53:48,549 --> 00:53:46,319 and uh real dialogue 1565 00:53:49,750 --> 00:53:48,559 i think it's fantastic i mean i know i 1566 00:53:51,829 --> 00:53:49,760 was kind of 1567 00:53:54,230 --> 00:53:51,839 maybe stretching a little bit with the 1568 00:53:56,790 --> 00:53:54,240 best hope for humanity but 1569 00:53:57,670 --> 00:53:56,800 it has great potential and i can't help 1570 00:53:59,510 --> 00:53:57,680 though 1571 00:54:01,030 --> 00:53:59,520 to return to 1572 00:54:04,069 --> 00:54:01,040 where this sits 1573 00:54:06,069 --> 00:54:04,079 in our current situation you know what i 1574 00:54:07,030 --> 00:54:06,079 mean because 1575 00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:07,040 like 1576 00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:09,359 you're you're given a really nice 1577 00:54:13,030 --> 00:54:10,400 pitch 1578 00:54:15,190 --> 00:54:13,040 but you're a guy who got 1579 00:54:17,589 --> 00:54:15,200 sucked into like 1580 00:54:20,630 --> 00:54:17,599 the whole covet thing on a very personal 1581 00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:20,640 level with your family and with your 1582 00:54:26,309 --> 00:54:22,640 kids and we talked about that on the 1583 00:54:28,630 --> 00:54:26,319 last show but it it's easy to 1584 00:54:30,150 --> 00:54:28,640 forget people who are directly 1585 00:54:32,470 --> 00:54:30,160 confronting 1586 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:32,480 some of the change that's going on 1587 00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:35,200 and uh i i think you should talk a 1588 00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:37,280 little bit about that but i don't just 1589 00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:39,920 you i don't want you to just talk about 1590 00:54:43,270 --> 00:54:41,680 your story and where it's going and 1591 00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:43,280 you've actually continued to follow it 1592 00:54:45,829 --> 00:54:44,640 you've had like attorneys that have 1593 00:54:48,950 --> 00:54:45,839 followed 1594 00:54:51,670 --> 00:54:48,960 file suit in massachusetts to say you 1595 00:54:53,190 --> 00:54:51,680 can't do that which is what you told the 1596 00:54:55,270 --> 00:54:53,200 school board when you went there you 1597 00:54:57,829 --> 00:54:55,280 said you can't do that they said yes we 1598 00:55:01,030 --> 00:54:57,839 could do whatever the we want and 1599 00:55:02,950 --> 00:55:01,040 then there's maybe a legal thing there 1600 00:55:04,710 --> 00:55:02,960 but what's really kind of dark and 1601 00:55:05,990 --> 00:55:04,720 you're kind of putting uh adding light 1602 00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:06,000 to it but i want you to give this the 1603 00:55:11,430 --> 00:55:09,920 whole spectrum here ricky is that 1604 00:55:12,910 --> 00:55:11,440 when you see 1605 00:55:15,349 --> 00:55:12,920 what is 1606 00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:15,359 demonstrably happening 1607 00:55:20,309 --> 00:55:17,760 people are getting banned for talking to 1608 00:55:21,910 --> 00:55:20,319 the doctors people are getting banned 1609 00:55:23,270 --> 00:55:21,920 for talking to 1610 00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:23,280 an attorney 1611 00:55:28,470 --> 00:55:25,440 who's filing a suit 1612 00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:28,480 in the supreme court of massachusetts 1613 00:55:33,349 --> 00:55:31,520 and the court is acknowledging his suit 1614 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:33,359 and saying we'll hear it 1615 00:55:38,789 --> 00:55:36,720 and that's banned from the dialogue from 1616 00:55:41,349 --> 00:55:38,799 the public discourse great state of 1617 00:55:43,030 --> 00:55:41,359 massachusetts founding fathers 1618 00:55:45,589 --> 00:55:43,040 we never 1619 00:55:47,670 --> 00:55:45,599 i've been at this a while if you told 1620 00:55:49,589 --> 00:55:47,680 somebody that 10 years ago they just 1621 00:55:51,910 --> 00:55:49,599 would have laughed in your face and said 1622 00:55:52,950 --> 00:55:51,920 there's no way we'll ever get to that 1623 00:55:53,990 --> 00:55:52,960 point 1624 00:55:56,549 --> 00:55:54,000 and yet 1625 00:55:59,349 --> 00:55:56,559 we're at that point so 1626 00:56:01,349 --> 00:55:59,359 maybe you can trace some of those steps 1627 00:56:03,829 --> 00:56:01,359 into telling us about 1628 00:56:06,230 --> 00:56:03,839 your story and in particular 1629 00:56:07,510 --> 00:56:06,240 what it's led for you in terms of the 1630 00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:07,520 ripple effect and the follow-on 1631 00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:09,440 interviews done which are fantastic i 1632 00:56:13,109 --> 00:56:11,280 love it it's like we're getting the 1633 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:13,119 inside you know 1634 00:56:17,589 --> 00:56:15,119 look into your family and then how it's 1635 00:56:19,829 --> 00:56:17,599 playing out 1636 00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:19,839 yeah so so what you're referring to was 1637 00:56:24,069 --> 00:56:21,680 and and this is something that i i would 1638 00:56:25,589 --> 00:56:24,079 love to talk to you about because 1639 00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:25,599 it 1640 00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:27,280 got on my radar 1641 00:56:33,829 --> 00:56:31,040 the issues locally much more after 2020 1642 00:56:36,390 --> 00:56:33,839 because i i've said this before 1643 00:56:39,109 --> 00:56:36,400 i've been so focused on international 1644 00:56:40,789 --> 00:56:39,119 issues foreign policy geopolitics uh 1645 00:56:43,829 --> 00:56:40,799 historical things 1646 00:56:45,510 --> 00:56:43,839 that in my home state and and even more 1647 00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:45,520 personally in my hometown 1648 00:56:49,510 --> 00:56:47,280 there were things going on 1649 00:56:51,589 --> 00:56:49,520 that i wouldn't be happy with and i 1650 00:56:53,510 --> 00:56:51,599 probably should have been more hands-on 1651 00:56:54,470 --> 00:56:53,520 and more aware of 1652 00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:54,480 and 1653 00:56:57,990 --> 00:56:56,160 so 1654 00:57:00,470 --> 00:56:58,000 after i had it was actually i remember 1655 00:57:01,829 --> 00:57:00,480 this like it was yesterday i i had uh dr 1656 00:57:03,670 --> 00:57:01,839 peter mccullough on my show and then i 1657 00:57:06,069 --> 00:57:03,680 get a text message from or a message 1658 00:57:08,069 --> 00:57:06,079 from some somebody who uh is from this 1659 00:57:09,589 --> 00:57:08,079 town from my town and they're like you 1660 00:57:11,430 --> 00:57:09,599 know you should 1661 00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:11,440 uh go to the school committee meeting 1662 00:57:15,430 --> 00:57:13,520 and i'm like what what meeting they're 1663 00:57:17,589 --> 00:57:15,440 like oh they're going to vote on mass 1664 00:57:18,549 --> 00:57:17,599 and i'm like oh yeah i'm like i 1665 00:57:20,630 --> 00:57:18,559 definitely i'm like when is it they're 1666 00:57:22,150 --> 00:57:20,640 like tonight and so i am going to the 1667 00:57:24,870 --> 00:57:22,160 meeting and 1668 00:57:25,910 --> 00:57:24,880 uh end up uh you know i was nervous i 1669 00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:25,920 know a lot of people think because 1670 00:57:29,589 --> 00:57:28,160 you're you're constantly 1671 00:57:31,270 --> 00:57:29,599 go ahead where you can say something no 1672 00:57:33,030 --> 00:57:31,280 it's just to say ricky fill people in a 1673 00:57:35,190 --> 00:57:33,040 little bit on what you learned in 1674 00:57:37,990 --> 00:57:35,200 talking to dr mccullough that you're 1675 00:57:40,150 --> 00:57:38,000 going to share with the school board 1676 00:57:42,630 --> 00:57:40,160 yeah well a lot of things i mean 1677 00:57:44,150 --> 00:57:42,640 obviously all the i mean but this is 1678 00:57:46,870 --> 00:57:44,160 this goes into 1679 00:57:50,309 --> 00:57:46,880 a another really important issue is 1680 00:57:51,670 --> 00:57:50,319 we're almost at the point where 1681 00:57:53,829 --> 00:57:51,680 the science and it's funny because 1682 00:57:55,349 --> 00:57:53,839 justin mccarthy attorney justin mccarthy 1683 00:57:57,670 --> 00:57:55,359 who was just recently on my show which 1684 00:57:59,750 --> 00:57:57,680 uh you were referring to he says this 1685 00:58:01,270 --> 00:57:59,760 and it's so true and i've had other 1686 00:58:03,670 --> 00:58:01,280 guests that have said this like the 1687 00:58:06,710 --> 00:58:03,680 science doesn't matter because and what 1688 00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:06,720 i mean by that is that it doesn't matter 1689 00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:08,480 to a lot of people who are brainwashed 1690 00:58:11,190 --> 00:58:09,760 like you could give them all the 1691 00:58:13,349 --> 00:58:11,200 information give them all the 1692 00:58:14,870 --> 00:58:13,359 information that make that that would 1693 00:58:18,789 --> 00:58:14,880 paint the picture that we've been lied 1694 00:58:20,870 --> 00:58:18,799 to that there's been suppressed um 1695 00:58:22,549 --> 00:58:20,880 treatments that 1696 00:58:25,190 --> 00:58:22,559 you know all the things like the lab 1697 00:58:27,109 --> 00:58:25,200 leak theory and gain of function uh 1698 00:58:29,109 --> 00:58:27,119 funding like all this information was 1699 00:58:31,030 --> 00:58:29,119 being suppressed all the doctors that 1700 00:58:33,829 --> 00:58:31,040 had different perspectives were being 1701 00:58:37,430 --> 00:58:33,839 censored and and in many cases they were 1702 00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:37,440 being banned and deleted and and um 1703 00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:38,720 they were trying to 1704 00:58:42,150 --> 00:58:41,280 basically a character assassination 1705 00:58:44,069 --> 00:58:42,160 and 1706 00:58:45,670 --> 00:58:44,079 you could give them all this information 1707 00:58:48,230 --> 00:58:45,680 and it's like okay any logical person 1708 00:58:49,589 --> 00:58:48,240 would look at all this and be like okay 1709 00:58:51,430 --> 00:58:49,599 there's something here like there's 1710 00:58:53,589 --> 00:58:51,440 enough dots that it's really easy to 1711 00:58:54,789 --> 00:58:53,599 connect them 1712 00:58:57,750 --> 00:58:54,799 but 1713 00:58:59,750 --> 00:58:57,760 now it's so obvious of all these things 1714 00:59:02,309 --> 00:58:59,760 and all the truths are slowly seeking 1715 00:59:03,750 --> 00:59:02,319 into the mainstream narrative where now 1716 00:59:05,510 --> 00:59:03,760 people are openly discussing these 1717 00:59:07,670 --> 00:59:05,520 things things that were so fringe i mean 1718 00:59:10,950 --> 00:59:07,680 if you said that this was a 1719 00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:10,960 bad flu in early 2020 people were losing 1720 00:59:14,069 --> 00:59:12,480 their mind on social media if you would 1721 00:59:16,789 --> 00:59:14,079 say that if you would compare it to the 1722 00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:16,799 flu now it's like publicly accepted that 1723 00:59:22,789 --> 00:59:20,400 99 people will will survive it and 1724 00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:22,799 see but ricky hold up i gotta pull you 1725 00:59:25,990 --> 00:59:24,240 back a little bit because i think you're 1726 00:59:28,230 --> 00:59:26,000 getting too far ahead of the story in a 1727 00:59:29,829 --> 00:59:28,240 way and like 1728 00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:29,839 where i want to i want to retrace these 1729 00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:31,920 steps because i encounter even in my own 1730 00:59:36,789 --> 00:59:34,000 family you know people who are still 1731 00:59:38,710 --> 00:59:36,799 walking that initial path so 1732 00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:38,720 you get on an interview 1733 00:59:43,829 --> 00:59:41,280 with mccullough right that's his name 1734 00:59:47,510 --> 00:59:43,839 yep peter dr peter mccullough dr peter 1735 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:47,520 mccullough and you find you get woken up 1736 00:59:53,270 --> 00:59:50,480 to the mask science thing and i got it 1737 00:59:55,510 --> 00:59:53,280 from a different uh a different guy but 1738 00:59:57,589 --> 00:59:55,520 came to the same conclusion they've 1739 00:59:59,190 --> 00:59:57,599 tested these masks for a long time to 1740 01:00:01,270 --> 00:59:59,200 see if they prevented the flu and they 1741 01:00:03,109 --> 01:00:01,280 always came to the same conclusion well 1742 01:00:04,630 --> 01:00:03,119 we don't exactly know why but no they 1743 01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:04,640 don't seem to work as a public health 1744 01:00:08,549 --> 01:00:05,760 policy 1745 01:00:10,870 --> 01:00:08,559 don't worry about a mass kind of thing 1746 01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:10,880 and then the next step is 1747 01:00:13,829 --> 01:00:12,000 once you get past that are they 1748 01:00:16,069 --> 01:00:13,839 potentially dangerous so we looked at 1749 01:00:17,750 --> 01:00:16,079 you know whether the beneficial dangers 1750 01:00:19,990 --> 01:00:17,760 but the part i don't want you to skip 1751 01:00:21,750 --> 01:00:20,000 over because i just hammer on this and 1752 01:00:23,750 --> 01:00:21,760 people 1753 01:00:25,589 --> 01:00:23,760 the reason i hammer on it is because my 1754 01:00:27,990 --> 01:00:25,599 show started with science my show 1755 01:00:30,630 --> 01:00:28,000 started with as we talked about rupert 1756 01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:30,640 sheldrick and richard wiseman and like 1757 01:00:36,069 --> 01:00:33,760 hey science will will win the day you 1758 01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:36,079 know good evidence will 1759 01:00:41,670 --> 01:00:38,160 win out and you will replicate your 1760 01:00:43,589 --> 01:00:41,680 study and you will get a peer review and 1761 01:00:46,069 --> 01:00:43,599 that people will pay attention in 1762 01:00:48,150 --> 01:00:46,079 science matters as our friend charlie 1763 01:00:50,069 --> 01:00:48,160 robinson says it's not about science 1764 01:00:53,030 --> 01:00:50,079 it's about compliance 1765 01:00:54,069 --> 01:00:53,040 that is where we're at now it's not 1766 01:00:59,510 --> 01:00:54,079 about 1767 01:01:03,109 --> 01:00:59,520 did a whole show on the stanford and 1768 01:01:06,150 --> 01:01:03,119 yale mask study the the biggest science 1769 01:01:08,630 --> 01:01:06,160 lie i've run across since sheldrick and 1770 01:01:11,270 --> 01:01:08,640 wiseman it's a complete 1771 01:01:13,030 --> 01:01:11,280 lie in it it's attempt to do that but 1772 01:01:14,789 --> 01:01:13,040 the point i guess i want i want you to 1773 01:01:17,349 --> 01:01:14,799 walk back 1774 01:01:19,109 --> 01:01:17,359 to that point where you go you're just 1775 01:01:21,109 --> 01:01:19,119 being a good citizen 1776 01:01:23,829 --> 01:01:21,119 you're being a good dad 1777 01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:23,839 and you're being like hey well i just 1778 01:01:29,349 --> 01:01:26,720 found out some information of course the 1779 01:01:31,349 --> 01:01:29,359 school board would want to hear it it's 1780 01:01:33,670 --> 01:01:31,359 because it's not someone's opinion i 1781 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:33,680 found science if we all care about 1782 01:01:37,430 --> 01:01:35,040 science we want to teach our kids 1783 01:01:40,069 --> 01:01:37,440 science and science matters and i'll go 1784 01:01:42,150 --> 01:01:40,079 to the school board there's a certain 1785 01:01:43,510 --> 01:01:42,160 waking up process that i think you went 1786 01:01:44,870 --> 01:01:43,520 through here that i 1787 01:01:45,990 --> 01:01:44,880 you know what i mean i want you to share 1788 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:46,000 that because 1789 01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:47,280 some people haven't gone through that 1790 01:01:49,829 --> 01:01:48,240 yet 1791 01:01:53,510 --> 01:01:49,839 well i think the 1792 01:01:55,990 --> 01:01:53,520 the waking up part was the fact that 1793 01:01:57,990 --> 01:01:56,000 there was no science i was going to give 1794 01:01:59,750 --> 01:01:58,000 to school committee members and that was 1795 01:02:02,470 --> 01:01:59,760 that was kind of what i was getting into 1796 01:02:04,630 --> 01:02:02,480 or without i probably made my response 1797 01:02:06,309 --> 01:02:04,640 way too long and people i get just as 1798 01:02:09,270 --> 01:02:06,319 lost as probably the listeners but my 1799 01:02:10,950 --> 01:02:09,280 point was that 1800 01:02:13,270 --> 01:02:10,960 all that science and all that 1801 01:02:14,309 --> 01:02:13,280 information was never going to change 1802 01:02:18,950 --> 01:02:14,319 their mind 1803 01:02:20,870 --> 01:02:18,960 is they cherry pick the science or the 1804 01:02:23,190 --> 01:02:20,880 information that helps defend their 1805 01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:23,200 perspective so it didn't matter how well 1806 01:02:26,630 --> 01:02:24,960 researched i was or how much information 1807 01:02:27,990 --> 01:02:26,640 i was going to bring to them i mean i 1808 01:02:29,750 --> 01:02:28,000 had a little bit of hope initially 1809 01:02:31,029 --> 01:02:29,760 because i didn't know who they were 1810 01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:31,039 and 1811 01:02:34,309 --> 01:02:32,240 you know some people told me that they 1812 01:02:37,109 --> 01:02:34,319 were closed minded but i i felt like hey 1813 01:02:39,670 --> 01:02:37,119 if i come here with enough logical 1814 01:02:41,750 --> 01:02:39,680 information on how 1815 01:02:43,430 --> 01:02:41,760 masking healthy kids because they're 1816 01:02:45,109 --> 01:02:43,440 literally emailing everybody all the 1817 01:02:47,829 --> 01:02:45,119 time like if your kid has any symptom 1818 01:02:49,430 --> 01:02:47,839 whatsoever leave them at home so you're 1819 01:02:51,190 --> 01:02:49,440 basically the majority of kids who are 1820 01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:51,200 in school and i say the majority because 1821 01:02:54,630 --> 01:02:53,039 there might be some kids who who might 1822 01:02:56,630 --> 01:02:54,640 not have symptoms but 1823 01:02:58,710 --> 01:02:56,640 you know might have uh the virus in 1824 01:03:00,230 --> 01:02:58,720 their system and and this is that 1825 01:03:02,710 --> 01:03:00,240 they're you know what do they call 1826 01:03:04,789 --> 01:03:02,720 pre-symptomatic so 1827 01:03:06,230 --> 01:03:04,799 that that might be the case but i'm like 1828 01:03:07,990 --> 01:03:06,240 so you're masking 1829 01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:08,000 healthy kids for the majority of them 1830 01:03:12,470 --> 01:03:09,680 you're also masking people that are the 1831 01:03:15,430 --> 01:03:12,480 least threat of of being harmed by this 1832 01:03:16,789 --> 01:03:15,440 virus uh you know and you just go 1833 01:03:20,630 --> 01:03:16,799 through all the information i mean it 1834 01:03:22,069 --> 01:03:20,640 says on the box the mask box that 1835 01:03:25,029 --> 01:03:22,079 it doesn't stop the spread of a 1836 01:03:26,710 --> 01:03:25,039 chronovirus there's no protocols right 1837 01:03:28,710 --> 01:03:26,720 and this goes back to it's not about 1838 01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:28,720 science it's about compliance like 1839 01:03:32,309 --> 01:03:30,720 there's no protocols if my kid coughs in 1840 01:03:35,190 --> 01:03:32,319 this mask there's no protocols of my 1841 01:03:36,789 --> 01:03:35,200 kids at recess and drops his mask okay 1842 01:03:38,230 --> 01:03:36,799 there's no protocols in regards so let's 1843 01:03:41,670 --> 01:03:38,240 make let's keep 1844 01:03:43,829 --> 01:03:41,680 a eye out on any kids who might uh you 1845 01:03:45,029 --> 01:03:43,839 know get their mask dirty and put it on 1846 01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:45,039 their face and the reason why that's so 1847 01:03:48,549 --> 01:03:46,400 important is because the whole point of 1848 01:03:50,470 --> 01:03:48,559 this thing is to 1849 01:03:51,910 --> 01:03:50,480 keep them healthy and and it's about 1850 01:03:54,870 --> 01:03:51,920 health and it's about protecting the 1851 01:03:57,510 --> 01:03:54,880 kids so why wouldn't there be protocols 1852 01:03:59,829 --> 01:03:57,520 you know something written out some some 1853 01:04:02,710 --> 01:03:59,839 steps that are taken to make sure every 1854 01:04:05,910 --> 01:04:02,720 kid has a clean mask all the time the 1855 01:04:08,789 --> 01:04:05,920 truth is it's not about any of that and 1856 01:04:10,150 --> 01:04:08,799 everybody knows and that most kids will 1857 01:04:12,470 --> 01:04:10,160 reuse their mask over and over again 1858 01:04:15,270 --> 01:04:12,480 there's i mean i i i'm assuming there's 1859 01:04:16,630 --> 01:04:15,280 probably kids if i ask my kid hey 1860 01:04:18,069 --> 01:04:16,640 does you know is there kids in your 1861 01:04:19,910 --> 01:04:18,079 class that wear the same mask every 1862 01:04:21,829 --> 01:04:19,920 single day every week he'd probably say 1863 01:04:23,589 --> 01:04:21,839 yes you know do you think that's being 1864 01:04:25,510 --> 01:04:23,599 clean and washed every night really they 1865 01:04:27,029 --> 01:04:25,520 are so what hap tell us the story what 1866 01:04:29,670 --> 01:04:27,039 happens you go to the school board and 1867 01:04:31,829 --> 01:04:29,680 and i gotta i gotta say you kind of made 1868 01:04:33,670 --> 01:04:31,839 the point i mean you went there at least 1869 01:04:36,630 --> 01:04:33,680 with some 1870 01:04:38,390 --> 01:04:36,640 some sense that that this this makes 1871 01:04:40,789 --> 01:04:38,400 sense you know i played it out to my 1872 01:04:42,789 --> 01:04:40,799 wife i played it out to my you know 1873 01:04:45,270 --> 01:04:42,799 sister-in-law whoever it is and they're 1874 01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:45,280 like yeah gosh i didn't know that go 1875 01:04:48,710 --> 01:04:46,960 ricky go tell the school board they're 1876 01:04:50,870 --> 01:04:48,720 going to want to hear this they want to 1877 01:04:54,150 --> 01:04:50,880 protect our kids 1878 01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:54,160 well yeah and so i i did and and i i was 1879 01:04:57,029 --> 01:04:55,520 pleasantly surprised that there was 1880 01:04:59,349 --> 01:04:57,039 other people there who also were 1881 01:05:01,990 --> 01:04:59,359 outspoken and and upset about the whole 1882 01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:02,000 situation we end up pushing they were 1883 01:05:04,549 --> 01:05:03,760 supposed to vote that night 1884 01:05:06,789 --> 01:05:04,559 uh 1885 01:05:08,470 --> 01:05:06,799 eventually because of the pushback and 1886 01:05:09,589 --> 01:05:08,480 and kind of our 1887 01:05:10,390 --> 01:05:09,599 um 1888 01:05:12,390 --> 01:05:10,400 i think 1889 01:05:14,150 --> 01:05:12,400 our frustration and all this stuff they 1890 01:05:16,230 --> 01:05:14,160 end up because somebody end up 1891 01:05:18,789 --> 01:05:16,240 suggesting like how about we ask the 1892 01:05:21,109 --> 01:05:18,799 parents like let's do a poll let's ask 1893 01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:21,119 the parents what they want uh i wasn't 1894 01:05:24,069 --> 01:05:22,720 too confident on the poll because i'm 1895 01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:24,079 like well the majority of the parents 1896 01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:26,799 probably watch uh mainstream media so 1897 01:05:31,829 --> 01:05:29,440 according to the information they have 1898 01:05:33,750 --> 01:05:31,839 the masking kids makes sense to them but 1899 01:05:35,349 --> 01:05:33,760 i'm like you know what you know maybe a 1900 01:05:37,190 --> 01:05:35,359 poll is better than because it didn't 1901 01:05:39,589 --> 01:05:37,200 seem like we had the votes it seemed 1902 01:05:41,109 --> 01:05:39,599 like we were going to lose anyways um 1903 01:05:42,309 --> 01:05:41,119 you know there's only one person up 1904 01:05:44,710 --> 01:05:42,319 there that seemed to be kind of 1905 01:05:46,309 --> 01:05:44,720 open-minded to the idea uh the other 1906 01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:46,319 issue i really had was the fact that 1907 01:05:50,390 --> 01:05:48,480 they were they were saying 1908 01:05:53,109 --> 01:05:50,400 we're oh let's just start the year you 1909 01:05:54,870 --> 01:05:53,119 know with masks which eventually end up 1910 01:05:55,990 --> 01:05:54,880 being what the survey question was that 1911 01:05:57,910 --> 01:05:56,000 they sent out to all the parents they 1912 01:05:58,789 --> 01:05:57,920 sent out the survey question for this 1913 01:06:00,309 --> 01:05:58,799 poll 1914 01:06:01,910 --> 01:06:00,319 stating that 1915 01:06:04,069 --> 01:06:01,920 are you okay with masking kids in the 1916 01:06:05,910 --> 01:06:04,079 beginning of the school season and i was 1917 01:06:07,349 --> 01:06:05,920 rip i mean i end up emailing all of 1918 01:06:10,390 --> 01:06:07,359 them contacting i'm like this is not the 1919 01:06:13,109 --> 01:06:10,400 survey we asked for um i wanted 1920 01:06:14,950 --> 01:06:13,119 you what we wanted was 1921 01:06:16,630 --> 01:06:14,960 parents to have the choice 1922 01:06:19,589 --> 01:06:16,640 and if you want to great if you don't 1923 01:06:21,589 --> 01:06:19,599 want to fine and 1924 01:06:23,029 --> 01:06:21,599 the way they worded it and i i don't 1925 01:06:25,829 --> 01:06:23,039 want to give them too much credit for 1926 01:06:27,829 --> 01:06:25,839 understanding uh you know edward bernays 1927 01:06:29,829 --> 01:06:27,839 and ways to kind of pull people in one 1928 01:06:32,230 --> 01:06:29,839 direction or another but they obviously 1929 01:06:34,390 --> 01:06:32,240 worded it in a way hoping that you know 1930 01:06:37,270 --> 01:06:34,400 it seemed more innocent and it would be 1931 01:06:39,029 --> 01:06:37,280 temporary and i'm which was bothersome 1932 01:06:41,670 --> 01:06:39,039 because we asked them during the school 1933 01:06:43,990 --> 01:06:41,680 committee meeting like hey okay if they 1934 01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:44,000 do have masks for how long and they 1935 01:06:47,349 --> 01:06:45,359 couldn't give us the answer and we're 1936 01:06:49,190 --> 01:06:47,359 like okay what do you need to see like 1937 01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:49,200 what's the criteria like do you need to 1938 01:06:54,069 --> 01:06:49,920 see 1939 01:06:55,510 --> 01:06:54,079 okay like what what are you looking for 1940 01:06:57,109 --> 01:06:55,520 and they couldn't give you answers so it 1941 01:06:58,789 --> 01:06:57,119 was obvious that 1942 01:07:00,390 --> 01:06:58,799 once those masks went on they weren't 1943 01:07:02,069 --> 01:07:00,400 gonna go away 1944 01:07:04,470 --> 01:07:02,079 so but we did end up pushing for the 1945 01:07:06,230 --> 01:07:04,480 poll and then the following week was 1946 01:07:08,870 --> 01:07:06,240 going to be the next school committee 1947 01:07:11,829 --> 01:07:08,880 meeting where they were going to 1948 01:07:15,029 --> 01:07:11,839 share the poll results and also finally 1949 01:07:16,230 --> 01:07:15,039 vote on the masks well 1950 01:07:18,309 --> 01:07:16,240 this is 1951 01:07:20,069 --> 01:07:18,319 it it's bothersome because i i really 1952 01:07:21,829 --> 01:07:20,079 felt one i felt defeated because i ended 1953 01:07:23,190 --> 01:07:21,839 up putting up my own poll i didn't like 1954 01:07:25,190 --> 01:07:23,200 the way they questioned it so i had my 1955 01:07:27,589 --> 01:07:25,200 own poll going around i created my own 1956 01:07:29,910 --> 01:07:27,599 poll on change.org or whatever uh 1957 01:07:33,109 --> 01:07:29,920 website i ended up using and i had i 1958 01:07:35,109 --> 01:07:33,119 think just under 500 uh signatures some 1959 01:07:36,950 --> 01:07:35,119 from some of the doctors and attorneys 1960 01:07:40,309 --> 01:07:36,960 that you referred to that's been on the 1961 01:07:42,390 --> 01:07:40,319 show and um many residents from from 1962 01:07:44,950 --> 01:07:42,400 town it wasn't just people from all over 1963 01:07:46,549 --> 01:07:44,960 the place but it was worded the way that 1964 01:07:49,109 --> 01:07:46,559 it should have been worded about parents 1965 01:07:52,230 --> 01:07:49,119 having the option and they should have 1966 01:07:54,230 --> 01:07:52,240 con you know that that choice and um and 1967 01:07:56,390 --> 01:07:54,240 so i wanted to i also send them the poll 1968 01:07:57,990 --> 01:07:56,400 results i wanted to 1969 01:08:00,309 --> 01:07:58,000 share my poll results at the school 1970 01:08:01,910 --> 01:08:00,319 committee meeting and 1971 01:08:04,630 --> 01:08:01,920 none of it mattered because the day it 1972 01:08:07,510 --> 01:08:04,640 was either the day of or the day before 1973 01:08:09,349 --> 01:08:07,520 massachusetts decided for every town and 1974 01:08:10,390 --> 01:08:09,359 city and in 1975 01:08:12,150 --> 01:08:10,400 in the state 1976 01:08:14,390 --> 01:08:12,160 that they're gonna mask all kids even 1977 01:08:17,030 --> 01:08:14,400 though there were some local towns and 1978 01:08:19,349 --> 01:08:17,040 and many towns that decide not to and uh 1979 01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:19,359 so what the people wanted didn't mean 1980 01:08:23,910 --> 01:08:21,440 anything and it also took all the 1981 01:08:25,990 --> 01:08:23,920 ability for us locally to make a 1982 01:08:27,669 --> 01:08:26,000 difference and actually uh push for 1983 01:08:30,309 --> 01:08:27,679 something and stand up for something and 1984 01:08:33,189 --> 01:08:30,319 protect the kids and um 1985 01:08:35,110 --> 01:08:33,199 yeah so it you know i as a parent i felt 1986 01:08:36,229 --> 01:08:35,120 defeated i felt 1987 01:08:37,910 --> 01:08:36,239 uh 1988 01:08:39,910 --> 01:08:37,920 i felt like you know i put all this 1989 01:08:41,749 --> 01:08:39,920 effort and time and 1990 01:08:44,149 --> 01:08:41,759 you know got people signing the survey 1991 01:08:46,229 --> 01:08:44,159 got people sharing the survey uh you 1992 01:08:48,630 --> 01:08:46,239 know i had so many people contacting me 1993 01:08:50,550 --> 01:08:48,640 about what was going on and thanking me 1994 01:08:53,349 --> 01:08:50,560 for for being outspoken and all this 1995 01:08:56,229 --> 01:08:53,359 stuff and then out of nowhere uh 1996 01:08:57,590 --> 01:08:56,239 jeffrey reilly who is um 1997 01:08:59,269 --> 01:08:57,600 you know the commissioner i will forget 1998 01:09:01,030 --> 01:08:59,279 what his title is something about uh 1999 01:09:03,030 --> 01:09:01,040 education one of the directors of 2000 01:09:06,470 --> 01:09:03,040 education or something for massachusetts 2001 01:09:08,789 --> 01:09:06,480 decided him and dictator baker to uh 2002 01:09:10,709 --> 01:09:08,799 mask all the kids and we just got an 2003 01:09:11,990 --> 01:09:10,719 email just a week ago 2004 01:09:14,709 -->

january 2008 01:09:20,630 --> 01:09:18,960 and 2009 01:09:23,349 --> 01:09:20,640 or 2010 01:09:24,789 --> 01:09:23,359 80 vaccinated schools if we have 80 2011 01:09:27,269 --> 01:09:24,799 vaccinated schools 2012 01:09:29,269 --> 01:09:27,279 uh everybody in the school system 80 2013 01:09:32,390 --> 01:09:29,279 vaccinated then they can remove the 2014 01:09:34,630 --> 01:09:32,400 masks the really absurd thing is nowhere 2015 01:09:37,110 --> 01:09:34,640 in the email do they say anything about 2016 01:09:38,950 --> 01:09:37,120 no cases or lower numbers like the 2017 01:09:41,749 --> 01:09:38,960 numbers it's just it's so obvious the 2018 01:09:44,709 --> 01:09:41,759 agenda is just to vaccinate the out 2019 01:09:46,550 --> 01:09:44,719 of everybody and it doesn't matter um 2020 01:09:48,470 --> 01:09:46,560 what decay it never mattered and that's 2021 01:09:50,789 --> 01:09:48,480 kind of the thing about the the science 2022 01:09:51,829 --> 01:09:50,799 that like i spend so much time talking 2023 01:09:54,310 --> 01:09:51,839 to people 2024 01:09:55,830 --> 01:09:54,320 and and so many people on a personal 2025 01:09:57,910 --> 01:09:55,840 level if i'm talking to them at the gym 2026 01:09:59,270 --> 01:09:57,920 if i'm talking to them uh wherever you 2027 01:10:00,550 --> 01:09:59,280 know if i'm at a basketball game or 2028 01:10:02,870 --> 01:10:00,560 wherever and i'm talking to somebody at 2029 01:10:04,950 --> 01:10:02,880 a little get-together 2030 01:10:06,310 --> 01:10:04,960 and we have a disagreement 2031 01:10:07,590 --> 01:10:06,320 most people i feel like because 2032 01:10:10,709 --> 01:10:07,600 logically 2033 01:10:12,310 --> 01:10:10,719 logic's on my side if i just put this 2034 01:10:14,709 --> 01:10:12,320 information out there and i explain to 2035 01:10:17,350 --> 01:10:14,719 them how i came to these conclusions 2036 01:10:18,630 --> 01:10:17,360 and and how obvious it is or at least if 2037 01:10:19,990 --> 01:10:18,640 i don't tell them it's obvious but if i 2038 01:10:21,669 --> 01:10:20,000 give them all the information it'll 2039 01:10:24,550 --> 01:10:21,679 become obvious 2040 01:10:25,750 --> 01:10:24,560 then they'll at least meet me halfway 2041 01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:25,760 and 2042 01:10:30,550 --> 01:10:28,400 so i had hope that you know that that 2043 01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:30,560 would happen everywhere and i always 2044 01:10:33,430 --> 01:10:32,080 felt like i could kind of sway somebody 2045 01:10:35,430 --> 01:10:33,440 and wonder and 2046 01:10:39,430 --> 01:10:35,440 you know the school the school committee 2047 01:10:41,590 --> 01:10:39,440 members uh continue to uh you know i um 2048 01:10:44,390 --> 01:10:41,600 keep getting updates on on what's going 2049 01:10:45,270 --> 01:10:44,400 on in town and after i i was outspoken 2050 01:10:46,229 --> 01:10:45,280 and 2051 01:10:47,990 --> 01:10:46,239 uh 2052 01:10:49,350 --> 01:10:48,000 people were contacting me and talked to 2053 01:10:51,270 --> 01:10:49,360 me about 2054 01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:51,280 and you you as a parent i'm kind of 2055 01:10:54,229 --> 01:10:52,800 curious on your perspective because this 2056 01:10:56,870 --> 01:10:54,239 is kind of related to 2057 01:10:59,510 --> 01:10:56,880 agenda 21 and agenda 2030 which we spoke 2058 01:11:00,550 --> 01:10:59,520 about last night on union unwanted 2059 01:11:03,270 --> 01:11:00,560 but 2060 01:11:05,910 --> 01:11:03,280 they talked about all these like books 2061 01:11:07,110 --> 01:11:05,920 with cartoon gay sex and all the stuff 2062 01:11:09,830 --> 01:11:07,120 that's in the library in the middle 2063 01:11:12,149 --> 01:11:09,840 school in in my town and how there's 2064 01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:12,159 this group of parents who are trying to 2065 01:11:15,430 --> 01:11:13,760 get these books out of our library and 2066 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:15,440 then i run into 2067 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:16,800 like all these other parents that are 2068 01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:23,030 in their school systems with pushing 2069 01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:26,000 critical race theory pushing um you know 2070 01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:27,360 all these things 2071 01:11:31,189 --> 01:11:29,280 that i'm just like 2072 01:11:33,430 --> 01:11:31,199 i is are these things that should even 2073 01:11:35,910 --> 01:11:33,440 be taught in school like what like i it 2074 01:11:38,310 --> 01:11:35,920 doesn't matter if if it's books 2075 01:11:40,070 --> 01:11:38,320 with straight 2076 01:11:41,830 --> 01:11:40,080 cartoons have you know doing sexual 2077 01:11:43,990 --> 01:11:41,840 things like i don't care what you know 2078 01:11:45,669 --> 01:11:44,000 gender they are i don't care what sexual 2079 01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:45,679 preference they have like my kids should 2080 01:11:48,790 --> 01:11:46,800 not be exposed to this this is the 2081 01:11:51,110 --> 01:11:48,800 conversation i have with them this is a 2082 01:11:53,830 --> 01:11:51,120 conversation that uh you know that they 2083 01:11:56,550 --> 01:11:53,840 don't learn by grabbing the wrong book 2084 01:11:59,750 --> 01:11:56,560 at the middle school and 2085 01:12:01,350 --> 01:11:59,760 so it just all these agendas end up 2086 01:12:02,950 --> 01:12:01,360 becoming more and more obvious and 2087 01:12:04,950 --> 01:12:02,960 you're starting to see 2088 01:12:07,510 --> 01:12:04,960 how like these are all agendas that have 2089 01:12:09,830 --> 01:12:07,520 been i think pushed and there was like 2090 01:12:11,430 --> 01:12:09,840 little baby steps like this little move 2091 01:12:13,910 --> 01:12:11,440 here that little move there to kind of 2092 01:12:16,630 --> 01:12:13,920 all push to the same destination but now 2093 01:12:17,510 --> 01:12:16,640 it's like they're all much more obvious 2094 01:12:18,950 --> 01:12:17,520 and 2095 01:12:23,430 --> 01:12:18,960 it's 2096 01:12:25,990 --> 01:12:23,440 about like what world are my kids going 2097 01:12:27,430 --> 01:12:26,000 to grow up in and i remember saying this 2098 01:12:29,189 --> 01:12:27,440 before i was a parent i'm like what 2099 01:12:31,750 --> 01:12:29,199 world if i had kids what would they grow 2100 01:12:33,669 --> 01:12:31,760 up in but now it's like it's even 2101 01:12:36,630 --> 01:12:33,679 scarier than what i predicted you know 2102 01:12:38,470 --> 01:12:36,640 or at least when i was thinking of like 2103 01:12:40,790 --> 01:12:38,480 the worst case scenario like what world 2104 01:12:42,149 --> 01:12:40,800 would they uh grow up in worst case 2105 01:12:43,910 --> 01:12:42,159 scenario and now it's like well now the 2106 01:12:45,669 --> 01:12:43,920 worst case scenario is way worse than i 2107 01:12:46,709 --> 01:12:45,679 even ever predicted or could ever 2108 01:12:48,070 --> 01:12:46,719 imagine 2109 01:12:50,550 --> 01:12:48,080 and it's just 2110 01:12:53,510 --> 01:12:50,560 it's scary and i don't i think these are 2111 01:12:54,550 --> 01:12:53,520 topics that are hard to discuss because 2112 01:12:56,950 --> 01:12:54,560 not 2113 01:13:00,229 --> 01:12:56,960 on a surface level the critical race 2114 01:13:01,830 --> 01:13:00,239 theory or being open to 2115 01:13:03,830 --> 01:13:01,840 you know people being gay lesbian 2116 01:13:06,149 --> 01:13:03,840 transgender like 2117 01:13:08,229 --> 01:13:06,159 that's all that's all fine and dandy and 2118 01:13:10,709 --> 01:13:08,239 i'm open to have those discussions i'm 2119 01:13:12,950 --> 01:13:10,719 not anti any of those things 2120 01:13:16,470 --> 01:13:12,960 i'm anti pushing 2121 01:13:17,590 --> 01:13:16,480 any ideology on my kids like a school is 2122 01:13:19,990 --> 01:13:17,600 supposed to be a place where you teach 2123 01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:20,000 kids how to yeah hold on hold on ricky 2124 01:13:24,870 --> 01:13:22,320 before we go on that roll 2125 01:13:27,590 --> 01:13:24,880 you know i think that kind of in a way 2126 01:13:28,790 --> 01:13:27,600 it confuses the issue in that 2127 01:13:30,390 --> 01:13:28,800 we've been talking about that 2128 01:13:32,390 --> 01:13:30,400 forever right 2129 01:13:34,229 --> 01:13:32,400 all my life you know that's been an 2130 01:13:35,270 --> 01:13:34,239 issue and my kids are a little bit older 2131 01:13:36,950 --> 01:13:35,280 than yours 2132 01:13:39,189 --> 01:13:36,960 college kind of a little bit beyond 2133 01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:39,199 college uh but that was an issue you 2134 01:13:43,750 --> 01:13:41,920 know 10 15 years ago all that stuff 2135 01:13:45,990 --> 01:13:43,760 what people want to know is is it 2136 01:13:47,270 --> 01:13:46,000 different now and i think what they hear 2137 01:13:50,470 --> 01:13:47,280 in your show 2138 01:13:53,990 --> 01:13:50,480 is no it's it's 2139 01:13:55,990 --> 01:13:54,000 it's demonstrably and significantly in 2140 01:13:57,110 --> 01:13:56,000 an important way 2141 01:13:59,350 --> 01:13:57,120 different 2142 01:14:00,709 --> 01:13:59,360 and i think you've been hammering on 2143 01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:00,719 that 2144 01:14:05,510 --> 01:14:03,199 pretty hard with where this whole thing 2145 01:14:07,669 --> 01:14:05,520 has taken you and 2146 01:14:10,070 --> 01:14:07,679 it's really the the one part i guess 2147 01:14:11,350 --> 01:14:10,080 that i do want you to address because 2148 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:11,360 you kind of mentioned it and then you 2149 01:14:15,910 --> 01:14:14,800 kind of rolled right past it it's pretty 2150 01:14:18,709 --> 01:14:15,920 dark 2151 01:14:21,430 --> 01:14:18,719 right now and it's pretty scary because 2152 01:14:23,110 --> 01:14:21,440 the natural through line of what you're 2153 01:14:27,350 --> 01:14:23,120 painting 2154 01:14:30,149 --> 01:14:27,360 only goes one way it goes in this way of 2155 01:14:32,149 --> 01:14:30,159 a control uh 2156 01:14:33,990 --> 01:14:32,159 thing matrix i was gonna say but then 2157 01:14:35,030 --> 01:14:34,000 that just throws everybody it's it's 2158 01:14:38,310 --> 01:14:35,040 just 2159 01:14:39,910 --> 01:14:38,320 it's it's it's scary in a way that even 2160 01:14:41,590 --> 01:14:39,920 people who've been part of the truth 2161 01:14:42,709 --> 01:14:41,600 movement part of the whole thing for a 2162 01:14:44,870 --> 01:14:42,719 long time 2163 01:14:47,110 --> 01:14:44,880 haven't had to really confront 2164 01:14:48,229 --> 01:14:47,120 what they're willing to kind of do right 2165 01:14:49,510 --> 01:14:48,239 now with 2166 01:14:51,030 --> 01:14:49,520 it's like somebody brought this up the 2167 01:14:53,110 --> 01:14:51,040 other day maybe even on the show last 2168 01:14:55,110 --> 01:14:53,120 night is like 2169 01:14:56,470 --> 01:14:55,120 this step-by-step boiling frog thing 2170 01:14:57,430 --> 01:14:56,480 that everyone's heard about you know 2171 01:14:59,270 --> 01:14:57,440 it's like 2172 01:15:01,189 --> 01:14:59,280 you know even if you just go back 18 2173 01:15:03,750 --> 01:15:01,199 months remember when people said you're 2174 01:15:05,910 --> 01:15:03,760 gonna have a vaccine passport you're 2175 01:15:07,590 --> 01:15:05,920 gonna have vaccine mandates and i 2176 01:15:09,669 --> 01:15:07,600 remember like again even in my family 2177 01:15:11,189 --> 01:15:09,679 they're like that would never happen 2178 01:15:12,470 --> 01:15:11,199 you're just being ridiculous because you 2179 01:15:14,310 --> 01:15:12,480 don't want 2180 01:15:17,830 --> 01:15:14,320 now that isn't even that isn't even 2181 01:15:19,270 --> 01:15:17,840 that's like just the beginning of it so 2182 01:15:24,149 --> 01:15:19,280 how bad is it 2183 01:15:27,030 --> 01:15:24,159 i i try to be optimistic because i 2184 01:15:28,790 --> 01:15:27,040 the more they push the more i think we 2185 01:15:30,709 --> 01:15:28,800 push and 2186 01:15:32,310 --> 01:15:30,719 i i think it was you who said it last 2187 01:15:34,390 --> 01:15:32,320 night and i think it's so true like 2188 01:15:36,709 --> 01:15:34,400 don't with moms and 2189 01:15:40,070 --> 01:15:36,719 it's it's it's so true like throughout 2190 01:15:43,669 --> 01:15:40,080 the years of you know so i to me none of 2191 01:15:45,430 --> 01:15:43,679 this is is that eye-opening or new to me 2192 01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:45,440 because i've i've always been really 2193 01:15:50,870 --> 01:15:47,760 deep in in health and nutrition 2194 01:15:52,870 --> 01:15:50,880 and i've always been really deep into 2195 01:15:55,350 --> 01:15:52,880 just big pharma and all those issues 2196 01:15:57,270 --> 01:15:55,360 that are related to it uh you know but 2197 01:15:59,270 --> 01:15:57,280 early years of the ripple effect podcast 2198 01:16:03,030 --> 01:15:59,280 i had a lot of doctors on dr brzezinski 2199 01:16:05,669 --> 01:16:03,040 dr gregory smith um so many uh great 2200 01:16:08,070 --> 01:16:05,679 researchers that are really exposing 2201 01:16:09,910 --> 01:16:08,080 how you know there's no money in us 2202 01:16:12,070 --> 01:16:09,920 being healthy there's money and and 2203 01:16:13,750 --> 01:16:12,080 symptom management and keeping us sick 2204 01:16:20,070 --> 01:16:13,760 and 2205 01:16:21,110 --> 01:16:20,080 to recover from things if you give it 2206 01:16:23,990 --> 01:16:21,120 the fuel 2207 01:16:27,030 --> 01:16:24,000 and sunlight and fresh air and all the 2208 01:16:27,910 --> 01:16:27,040 things that it needs to to be healthy 2209 01:16:29,910 --> 01:16:27,920 so 2210 01:16:30,790 --> 01:16:29,920 a lot of these agendas we kind of knew 2211 01:16:31,990 --> 01:16:30,800 about 2212 01:16:33,430 --> 01:16:32,000 and 2213 01:16:35,430 --> 01:16:33,440 now they they definitely seem 2214 01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:35,440 fast-tracked 2215 01:16:39,990 --> 01:16:37,840 but i i also think it's woken up a lot 2216 01:16:41,350 --> 01:16:40,000 of people like years ago 2217 01:16:43,910 --> 01:16:41,360 when i would have conversation with 2218 01:16:44,870 --> 01:16:43,920 people about vaccines 2219 01:16:46,310 --> 01:16:44,880 i mean 2220 01:16:47,590 --> 01:16:46,320 they're people 2221 01:16:49,430 --> 01:16:47,600 it was really hard to find other people 2222 01:16:52,310 --> 01:16:49,440 who were skeptical about 2223 01:16:53,990 --> 01:16:52,320 their safety or their just about 2224 01:16:55,990 --> 01:16:54,000 vaccines at all 2225 01:16:57,350 --> 01:16:56,000 and i know some of my listeners are sick 2226 01:16:59,510 --> 01:16:57,360 of me saying this but i would always use 2227 01:17:00,709 --> 01:16:59,520 the metaphor of like okay if i give 2228 01:17:03,189 --> 01:17:00,719 every kid 2229 01:17:05,189 --> 01:17:03,199 a peanut butter some kids are gonna die 2230 01:17:07,270 --> 01:17:05,199 like so what makes you think vaccines 2231 01:17:09,270 --> 01:17:07,280 are the one thing in the world 2232 01:17:12,070 --> 01:17:09,280 that you can give everybody and nobody 2233 01:17:14,870 --> 01:17:12,080 has a negative effect like it just it 2234 01:17:17,910 --> 01:17:14,880 seems silly and i think a lot of people 2235 01:17:22,189 --> 01:17:21,110 i guess uh medical freedom movement 2236 01:17:24,950 --> 01:17:22,199 we've been 2237 01:17:27,430 --> 01:17:24,960 misrepresented because a lot of times 2238 01:17:29,430 --> 01:17:27,440 it's we're not saying that every person 2239 01:17:31,510 --> 01:17:29,440 is going to be harmed from a vaccine 2240 01:17:34,390 --> 01:17:31,520 we're just saying that there's a reward 2241 01:17:36,229 --> 01:17:34,400 risk ratio and you've been misled about 2242 01:17:38,070 --> 01:17:36,239 how much reward there is and how much 2243 01:17:40,709 --> 01:17:38,080 risk there is and i think that's the 2244 01:17:42,630 --> 01:17:40,719 wrong i think that's the wrong debate 2245 01:17:44,550 --> 01:17:42,640 and i think it's debate it's a debate 2246 01:17:45,830 --> 01:17:44,560 that they would love to have 2247 01:17:47,910 --> 01:17:45,840 because 2248 01:17:50,550 --> 01:17:47,920 as you kind of alluded to you can get 2249 01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:50,560 mired in all sorts of 2250 01:17:54,550 --> 01:17:53,120 on both sides which is valid 2251 01:17:56,470 --> 01:17:54,560 you know you got to have science and all 2252 01:17:59,110 --> 01:17:56,480 the rest of that the the question and 2253 01:18:00,790 --> 01:17:59,120 this kind of came up in uh when i was on 2254 01:18:02,870 --> 01:18:00,800 the ripple effect 2255 01:18:06,229 --> 01:18:02,880 what no one wants to face is what we 2256 01:18:09,430 --> 01:18:06,239 really want to know is is it evil 2257 01:18:10,630 --> 01:18:09,440 are the people behind this evil in some 2258 01:18:13,189 --> 01:18:10,640 way 2259 01:18:15,110 --> 01:18:13,199 that we're uncomfortable talking about 2260 01:18:17,189 --> 01:18:15,120 but we know what the we're talking 2261 01:18:18,870 --> 01:18:17,199 about so when you know i was just 2262 01:18:20,709 --> 01:18:18,880 watching the documentary one of the 2263 01:18:22,709 --> 01:18:20,719 documentaries on the kind of purdue 2264 01:18:25,510 --> 01:18:22,719 pharmaceutical thing and the whole 2265 01:18:27,990 --> 01:18:25,520 oxycontin thing and the family you know 2266 01:18:29,990 --> 01:18:28,000 that whole and what they did is they 2267 01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:30,000 made uh i thought this was just i'll 2268 01:18:34,470 --> 01:18:32,480 throw this in as just a little aside 2269 01:18:35,990 --> 01:18:34,480 but they made pain 2270 01:18:38,630 --> 01:18:36,000 a new sense 2271 01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:38,640 like you know you have sight you have 2272 01:18:43,270 --> 01:18:41,440 taste and now you have pain too and you 2273 01:18:45,110 --> 01:18:43,280 have the little person in the you know 2274 01:18:47,430 --> 01:18:45,120 the little you are the smiley face of 2275 01:18:50,070 --> 01:18:47,440 the frowny flesh face which is all you 2276 01:18:52,390 --> 01:18:50,080 know kind of really 2277 01:18:53,830 --> 01:18:52,400 mundane and understandable and like 2278 01:18:55,669 --> 01:18:53,840 you're talking about the evil of the 2279 01:18:58,070 --> 01:18:55,679 middle it's like well of course there's 2280 01:19:00,310 --> 01:18:58,080 some good and bad in there 2281 01:19:02,790 --> 01:19:00,320 all that was done as a marketing effort 2282 01:19:04,790 --> 01:19:02,800 to introduce oxycontin because they had 2283 01:19:06,470 --> 01:19:04,800 this agenda and they sold billions and 2284 01:19:08,390 --> 01:19:06,480 billions of dollars and they made all 2285 01:19:09,750 --> 01:19:08,400 this money and they destroyed all these 2286 01:19:12,470 --> 01:19:09,760 lives 2287 01:19:15,270 --> 01:19:12,480 we do not want to get pulled into 2288 01:19:18,310 --> 01:19:15,280 another one of those protracted 2289 01:19:20,550 --> 01:19:18,320 uh medical discussions where 2290 01:19:21,590 --> 01:19:20,560 there is always going to be that evil 2291 01:19:25,270 --> 01:19:21,600 middle 2292 01:19:28,790 --> 01:19:25,280 what we want to understand is 2293 01:19:32,550 --> 01:19:28,800 is the is the driving force behind this 2294 01:19:35,270 --> 01:19:32,560 something that we could identify as good 2295 01:19:37,590 --> 01:19:35,280 old-fashioned evil if it's just people 2296 01:19:40,070 --> 01:19:37,600 out there and i see it one way and you 2297 01:19:42,149 --> 01:19:40,080 see it another way we can deal with that 2298 01:19:44,790 --> 01:19:42,159 if it's just somebody out there honestly 2299 01:19:48,070 --> 01:19:44,800 saying i think this is a better way to 2300 01:19:51,350 --> 01:19:48,080 protect humanity and protect the herd 2301 01:19:54,229 --> 01:19:51,360 and well i respectfully disagree we can 2302 01:19:54,950 --> 01:19:54,239 handle that what we can't handle 2303 01:20:04,950 --> 01:19:54,960 is 2304 01:20:06,229 --> 01:20:04,960 tracking in the truth movement for a 2305 01:20:08,310 --> 01:20:06,239 long time 2306 01:20:11,189 --> 01:20:08,320 those building seven 2307 01:20:14,149 --> 01:20:11,199 wasn't hit by an airplane oh my god what 2308 01:20:18,229 --> 01:20:14,159 even bring that up it's the same thing 2309 01:20:21,229 --> 01:20:18,239 climate change and those phony emails 2310 01:20:24,629 --> 01:20:21,239 never really happened you live there in 2311 01:20:27,350 --> 01:20:24,639 massachusetts the ocean isn't coming up 2312 01:20:29,030 --> 01:20:27,360 the best scientists in the world 2313 01:20:31,590 --> 01:20:29,040 you know 2314 01:20:33,990 --> 01:20:31,600 who track the ocean level there's no 2315 01:20:37,110 --> 01:20:34,000 change in the ocean level they continue 2316 01:20:38,550 --> 01:20:37,120 to push that agenda so i i won't go on 2317 01:20:40,950 --> 01:20:38,560 too long of a rant there but the 2318 01:20:45,669 --> 01:20:40,960 question is 2319 01:20:47,590 --> 01:20:45,679 is it evil is there evil behind this 2320 01:20:49,110

01:21:24,960 ridiculous as as everything else looks 2338 01:21:30,149 --> 01:21:27,679 unless we're really willing to go 2339 01:21:32,229 --> 01:21:30,159 you called it philosophical i'd call it 2340

01:22:19,910 --> 01:22:16,560 is really bad they're people who believe 2359 01:22:21,189 --> 01:22:19,920 in evil and i i think there's a lot of 2360 01:22:22,709 --> 01:22:21,199 like i 2361 01:22:24,070 --> 01:22:22,719 i think there's true believers out there 2362 01:22:25,430 --> 01:22:24,080 i think they're so if you know the 2363 01:22:27,669 --> 01:22:25,440 people who are going to tell me to put 2364 01:22:28,709 --> 01:22:27,679 my mask over my nose like they're all 2365 01:22:31,350 --> 01:22:28,719 not just 2366 01:22:34,310 --> 01:22:31,360 a-holes some of them are truly scared 2367 01:22:35,750 --> 01:22:34,320 the propaganda worked you scare the sh 2368 01:22:38,470 --> 01:22:35,760 you attempted to scare the out of 2369 01:22:41,110 --> 01:22:38,480 the population for 18 months 2370 01:22:43,590 --> 01:22:41,120 it worked on in many cases there's a lot 2371 01:22:45,430 --> 01:22:43,600 of people out there who truly truly are 2372 01:22:47,430 --> 01:22:45,440 afraid they're the ones driving in a car 2373 01:22:49,350 --> 01:22:47,440 by themselves they're the ones who even 2374 01:22:50,470 --> 01:22:49,360 if you tell them that like hey 2375 01:22:52,709 --> 01:22:50,480 everything's good you could take off 2376 01:22:54,629 --> 01:22:52,719 your mask they would probably still 2377 01:22:55,430 --> 01:22:54,639 still wear them because 2378 01:22:57,350 --> 01:22:55,440 it 2379 01:22:59,510 --> 01:22:57,360 you've scared the out of them that 2380 01:23:02,310 --> 01:22:59,520 you've traumatized them to some extent 2381 01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:02,320 where now they're so afraid of reality 2382 01:23:06,390 --> 01:23:04,320 or getting a virus 2383 01:23:08,870 --> 01:23:06,400 that you know they'll wear one anyways 2384 01:23:10,070 --> 01:23:08,880 just to be on the safe side right so i i 2385 01:23:11,189 --> 01:23:10,080 think they're they're pet it's no 2386 01:23:12,629 --> 01:23:11,199 different than somebody you know and 2387 01:23:13,990 --> 01:23:12,639 fear and danger are two different things 2388 01:23:15,830 --> 01:23:14,000 right it's like 2389 01:23:17,110 --> 01:23:15,840 somebody who's afraid of an insect you 2390 01:23:18,790 --> 01:23:17,120 know it's like well is that an insect 2391 01:23:20,709 --> 01:23:18,800 gonna harm you no 2392 01:23:22,870 --> 01:23:20,719 but it's not a at you know it's not a 2393 01:23:25,110 --> 01:23:22,880 danger but it's fear and and for some 2394 01:23:26,790 --> 01:23:25,120 reason you've been traumatized and you 2395 01:23:29,750 --> 01:23:26,800 have this 2396 01:23:31,110 --> 01:23:29,760 this just over the top fear of something 2397 01:23:33,430 --> 01:23:31,120 and and so i think there's true 2398 01:23:35,910 --> 01:23:33,440 believers there's some people who truly 2399 01:23:38,709 --> 01:23:35,920 are pushing or helping 2400 01:23:39,910 --> 01:23:38,719 the evil people who have a greater 2401 01:23:41,189 --> 01:23:39,920 agenda 2402 01:23:42,709 --> 01:23:41,199 who aren't 2403 01:23:44,310 --> 01:23:42,719 true believers in the nonsense that 2404 01:23:46,950 --> 01:23:44,320 they're pushing onto the public but 2405 01:23:48,790 --> 01:23:46,960 using these people as pawns and you see 2406 01:23:51,110 --> 01:23:48,800 it with like there's people out there 2407 01:23:52,790 --> 01:23:51,120 who truly care about the environment and 2408 01:23:54,870 --> 01:23:52,800 that's like the cause that they're the 2409 01:23:56,790 --> 01:23:54,880 most passionate about and they believe 2410 01:23:59,030 --> 01:23:56,800 that there's um you know we're putting 2411 01:24:01,430 --> 01:23:59,040 chemicals into the water and all and a 2412 01:24:03,110 --> 01:24:01,440 lot of the stuff is true what they what 2413 01:24:04,390 --> 01:24:03,120 some of them don't understand is that 2414 01:24:06,709 --> 01:24:04,400 they're going to use 2415 01:24:08,229 --> 01:24:06,719 those narratives and those issues to 2416 01:24:10,310 --> 01:24:08,239 push other 2417 01:24:12,870 --> 01:24:10,320 agendas and and 2418 01:24:14,709 --> 01:24:12,880 so when they propose a carbon tax or 2419 01:24:16,790 --> 01:24:14,719 they propose these things it's not 2420 01:24:18,950 --> 01:24:16,800 because they truly care about 2421 01:24:22,790 --> 01:24:18,960 you know protecting the world it's 2422 01:24:24,310 --> 01:24:22,800 because they have other agendas and 2423 01:24:26,709 --> 01:24:24,320 i think 2424 01:24:27,830 --> 01:24:26,719 the only explanation is evil right i 2425 01:24:31,030 --> 01:24:27,840 mean 2426 01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:31,040 before hitler there was evil 2427 01:24:36,310 --> 01:24:33,120 after hitler there was evil you know 2428 01:24:38,470 --> 01:24:36,320 saddam hussein was a real person um 2429 01:24:40,390 --> 01:24:38,480 everybody always refers to to hitler as 2430 01:24:41,750 --> 01:24:40,400 like almost like he was the last evil 2431 01:24:44,550 --> 01:24:41,760 person who wanted to kill everybody i'm 2432 01:24:46,870 --> 01:24:44,560 like there's those people still exist 2433 01:24:49,030 --> 01:24:46,880 the only thing is we've we live in north 2434 01:24:50,950 --> 01:24:49,040 korea and what i mean by that is that 2435 01:24:53,270 --> 01:24:50,960 people in the u.s are just as 2436 01:24:55,590 --> 01:24:53,280 brainwashed as many people or as 2437 01:24:58,310 --> 01:24:55,600 everybody in north korea where you mold 2438 01:25:00,790 --> 01:24:58,320 their worldview at a young age and you 2439 01:25:02,070 --> 01:25:00,800 convince them that we are the exception 2440 01:25:03,510 --> 01:25:02,080 to the rule 2441 01:25:05,030 --> 01:25:03,520 and i think somebody talked about it 2442 01:25:06,550 --> 01:25:05,040 yesterday about the founding fathers and 2443 01:25:08,709 --> 01:25:06,560 all this stuff 2444 01:25:11,189 --> 01:25:08,719 i think it's kind of true i think 2445 01:25:13,830 --> 01:25:11,199 i go back and forth because in one way i 2446 01:25:17,350 --> 01:25:13,840 feel like we're 2447 01:25:20,070 --> 01:25:17,360 we are a example of what could be right 2448 01:25:21,590 --> 01:25:20,080 like a country that truly cares about 2449 01:25:24,790 --> 01:25:21,600 controlling 2450 01:25:27,350 --> 01:25:24,800 the the hierarchy and the monarchy or 2451 01:25:30,470 --> 01:25:27,360 the you know controlling those in power 2452 01:25:32,950 --> 01:25:30,480 and and making things fear and and and 2453 01:25:35,189 --> 01:25:32,960 having checks and balances where we can 2454 01:25:36,550 --> 01:25:35,199 constantly make sure that we we filter 2455 01:25:38,629 --> 01:25:36,560 out corruption 2456 01:25:40,550 --> 01:25:38,639 but in the other hand i'm like we've 2457 01:25:42,550 --> 01:25:40,560 been convinced of this 2458 01:25:43,910 --> 01:25:42,560 and yet like somebody mentioned i think 2459 01:25:45,830 --> 01:25:43,920 yesterday and i've mentioned it on my 2460 01:25:47,750 --> 01:25:45,840 show all the time like look at who who 2461 01:25:49,430 --> 01:25:47,760 ends up getting in office who who are 2462 01:25:51,350 --> 01:25:49,440 all these politicians do a little 2463 01:25:53,510 --> 01:25:51,360 background research guess what they're 2464 01:25:55,510 --> 01:25:53,520 all linked to powerful people they're 2465 01:25:56,950 --> 01:25:55,520 all linked to powerful families they're 2466 01:25:59,350 --> 01:25:56,960 all related to each other they're all 2467 01:26:01,669 --> 01:25:59,360 part of these powerful you know uh 2468 01:26:03,110 --> 01:26:01,679 secret societies and groups like it's 2469 01:26:05,590 --> 01:26:03,120 not us 2470 01:26:07,350 --> 01:26:05,600 it's it's it's a hierarchy so we have 2471 01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:07,360 this illusion that we don't live in a 2472 01:26:11,189 --> 01:26:09,760 monarchy but yet the people running for 2473 01:26:12,790 --> 01:26:11,199 presidents are always clintons and 2474 01:26:15,669 --> 01:26:12,800 bushes and people who are skull and 2475 01:26:17,830 --> 01:26:15,679 bones and and all this stuff and uh and 2476 01:26:19,590 --> 01:26:17,840 i think that's only that's i i get you 2477 01:26:21,669 --> 01:26:19,600 and that's a good point it's only part 2478 01:26:24,070 --> 01:26:21,679 of the story though you know the i've 2479 01:26:27,270 --> 01:26:24,080 been into american history lately partly 2480 01:26:29,350 --> 01:26:27,280 as a distraction to get away from 2481 01:26:31,110 --> 01:26:29,360 but go look at andrew jackson who 2482 01:26:33,510 --> 01:26:31,120 interestingly is being pulled off of 2483 01:26:34,870 --> 01:26:33,520 what the 20 bill and 2484 01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:34,880 being 2485 01:26:38,310 --> 01:26:36,480 replaced by the woman who did the 2486 01:26:39,830 --> 01:26:38,320 underground railroad well hooray for 2487 01:26:41,590 --> 01:26:39,840 that i don't have any problem with that 2488 01:26:43,350 --> 01:26:41,600 i think maybe that's a good 2489 01:26:44,470 --> 01:26:43,360 andrew jackson's really interesting 2490 01:26:46,709 --> 01:26:44,480 character 2491 01:26:48,629 --> 01:26:46,719 because andrew jackson just briefed 2492 01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:48,639 digression into history 2493 01:26:53,590 --> 01:26:50,400 andrew jackson 2494 01:26:56,390 --> 01:26:53,600 genocide on the american indians no 2495 01:26:57,990 --> 01:26:56,400 question about it didn't have to 2496 01:27:00,070 --> 01:26:58,000 set it up to do it that way because it 2497 01:27:02,709 --> 01:27:00,080 was the most expedient way to get the 2498 01:27:04,629 --> 01:27:02,719 expansion that he wanted and repeated it 2499 01:27:07,350 --> 01:27:04,639 and the whole trail of tears thing and 2500 01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:07,360 all that stuff he's that guy 2501 01:27:12,070 --> 01:27:10,480 he's the guy who uh but he's also the 2502 01:27:13,350 --> 01:27:12,080 guy 2503 01:27:16,470 --> 01:27:13,360 who wins 2504 01:27:17,830 --> 01:27:16,480 the war of 1812 which i didn't know this 2505 01:27:19,030 --> 01:27:17,840 i don't want i don't want to front like 2506 01:27:21,030 --> 01:27:19,040 i know history because i know any of 2507 01:27:22,870 --> 01:27:21,040 this stuff but you go and learn it again 2508 01:27:25,510 --> 01:27:22,880 the war of 1812 is the second american 2509 01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:25,520 revolution and we almost lost it it was 2510 01:27:29,830 --> 01:27:27,600 not a given 2511 01:27:31,750 --> 01:27:29,840 andrew jackson is a super patriot and he 2512 01:27:32,629 --> 01:27:31,760 drags the cannon and all the rest this 2513 01:27:38,629 --> 01:27:32,639 stuff 2514 01:27:44,870 --> 01:27:41,750 the new orleans mouth of the mississippi 2515 01:27:47,189 --> 01:27:44,880 there and he blasts the out of the 2516 01:27:49,270 --> 01:27:47,199 brits and keeps him from coming up and 2517 01:27:51,110 --> 01:27:49,280 partly because when he was a little kid 2518 01:27:52,629 --> 01:27:51,120 he hate the he hated the brits because 2519 01:27:54,390 --> 01:27:52,639 they arrested him when he was 14 years 2520 01:27:56,310 --> 01:27:54,400 old and they locked him up but the point 2521 01:27:59,030 --> 01:27:56,320 is we lose 2522 01:28:01,669 --> 01:27:59,040 what the america is in america if andrew 2523 01:28:03,990 --> 01:28:01,679 jackson doesn't do that and that's part 2524 01:28:06,149 --> 01:28:04,000 of the reason he became president but 2525 01:28:08,390 --> 01:28:06,159 you know what he also did he's the guy 2526 01:28:10,870 --> 01:28:08,400 who really brought about slavery more 2527 01:28:14,070 --> 01:28:10,880 than anyone else brought mississippi 2528 01:28:15,990 --> 01:28:14,080 alabama and he enslaved all those people 2529 01:28:17,350 --> 01:28:16,000 and i love how you know i don't want to 2530 01:28:19,270 --> 01:28:17,360 do the whole wokeness thing but there's 2531 01:28:21,910 --> 01:28:19,280 always a truth to the wokeness thing 2532 01:28:24,070 --> 01:28:21,920 like if you notice the language now they 2533 01:28:25,350 --> 01:28:24,080 say enslaved people they don't say 2534 01:28:27,270 --> 01:28:25,360 slaves 2535 01:28:29,990 --> 01:28:27,280 right on to that that's a good 2536 01:28:31,110 --> 01:28:30,000 correction linguistically they weren't 2537 01:28:33,910 --> 01:28:31,120 slaves 2538 01:28:37,830 --> 01:28:33,920 they were enslaved people 2539 01:28:41,110 --> 01:28:37,840 andrew jackson enslaved him so he could 2540 01:28:43,750 --> 01:28:41,120 make more money and the only reason that 2541 01:28:47,030 --> 01:28:43,760 the civil war happened was because the 2542 01:28:50,870 --> 01:28:47,040 abolitionists the great abolitionists up 2543 01:28:53,030 --> 01:28:50,880 in the great state of massachusetts 2544 01:28:55,910 --> 01:28:53,040 they went down there and like john brown 2545 01:28:59,110 --> 01:28:55,920 is the guy john brown went down and he 2546 01:29:01,030 --> 01:28:59,120 broke into the you know the where they 2547 01:29:02,390 --> 01:29:01,040 have all the munitions and the guns and 2548 01:29:04,149 --> 01:29:02,400 he said i'm gonna start a slave 2549 01:29:06,470 --> 01:29:04,159 revolution we're gonna we're gonna go do 2550 01:29:08,229 --> 01:29:06,480 this and john brown gets thrown down but 2551 01:29:09,910 --> 01:29:08,239 then the south goes it man we've 2552 01:29:11,910 --> 01:29:09,920 done everything we can to placate 2553 01:29:13,590 --> 01:29:11,920 because they were just playing the game 2554 01:29:15,750 --> 01:29:13,600 play in the game the middle game that 2555 01:29:17,830 --> 01:29:15,760 you like to play conversations everyone 2556 01:29:19,110 --> 01:29:17,840 has a voice everyone they're playing 2557 01:29:22,709 --> 01:29:19,120 that game 2558 01:29:25,750 --> 01:29:22,719 to the max and john brown says that 2559 01:29:30,070 --> 01:29:25,760 the middle doesn't hold take a 2560 01:29:32,229 --> 01:29:30,080 stand are you for enslaving people from 2561 01:29:35,510 --> 01:29:32,239 the time that they're born until the 2562 01:29:38,709 --> 01:29:35,520 time that they die are you for enslaving 2563 01:29:41,430 --> 01:29:38,719 all their offspring forever is that what 2564 01:29:43,110 --> 01:29:41,440 you're for or are you against that and 2565 01:29:45,030 --> 01:29:43,120 if you're against it 2566 01:29:47,750 --> 01:29:45,040 it's only going to come down one way and 2567 01:29:49,270 --> 01:29:47,760 it came down the way that it is so 2568 01:29:51,990 --> 01:29:49,280 our history 2569 01:29:53,270 --> 01:29:52,000 as you know this great experiment like 2570 01:29:55,350 --> 01:29:53,280 you're you're the one who brought up the 2571 01:29:58,629 --> 01:29:55,360 american history is extremely 2572 01:30:01,189 --> 01:29:58,639 complicated it is irreconcilable 2573 01:30:02,790 --> 01:30:01,199 that that we carried on that stain 2574 01:30:04,629 --> 01:30:02,800 longer than anyone else in the world i 2575 01:30:05,750 --> 01:30:04,639 mean britain had given up on slavery 2576 01:30:07,510 --> 01:30:05,760 every other 2577 01:30:10,550 --> 01:30:07,520 democracy in the world had kind of given 2578 01:30:12,950 --> 01:30:10,560 up on slavery we held on to it because 2579 01:30:14,790 --> 01:30:12,960 it had an economic interest for a 2580 01:30:16,470 --> 01:30:14,800 certain group of people i don't want to 2581 01:30:18,709 --> 01:30:16,480 get off too far on that but i want to 2582 01:30:20,229 --> 01:30:18,719 get off on it a little bit because 2583 01:30:21,510 --> 01:30:20,239 here's the point here's the last point 2584 01:30:24,390 --> 01:30:21,520 i'll make on that 2585 01:30:27,910 --> 01:30:24,400 andrew jackson wasn't part of the 2586 01:30:28,950 --> 01:30:27,920 meritocracy you know what he was the 2587 01:30:30,629 --> 01:30:28,960 first 2588 01:30:32,709 --> 01:30:30,639 uh commoner 2589 01:30:35,350 --> 01:30:32,719 to be made president 2590 01:30:36,470 --> 01:30:35,360 the evil that we're talking about isn't 2591 01:30:39,910 --> 01:30:36,480 about 2592 01:30:42,550 --> 01:30:39,920 uh occulted secret societies it isn't 2593 01:30:45,110 --> 01:30:42,560 about bloodlines it isn't about any of 2594 01:30:47,910 --> 01:30:45,120 that it's about 2595 01:30:50,310 --> 01:30:47,920 something that we need to understand and 2596 01:30:52,870 --> 01:30:50,320 explore and have a better handle on it 2597 01:30:55,350 --> 01:30:52,880 certainly isn't about christianity it 2598 01:30:57,350 --> 01:30:55,360 certainly isn't in the bible it can 2599 01:31:00,629 --> 01:30:57,360 manifest itself through what we can 2600 01:31:02,390 --> 01:31:00,639 learn maybe in in all in so many great 2601 01:31:04,229 --> 01:31:02,400 wisdom books but it 2602 01:31:06,709 --> 01:31:04,239 christianity isn't 2603 01:31:08,870 --> 01:31:06,719 an embodiment of that any more than any 2604 01:31:11,350 --> 01:31:08,880 other religion is it's just another 2605 01:31:13,270 --> 01:31:11,360 vehicle so i've got i've gone off on a 2606 01:31:15,830 --> 01:31:13,280 long rant but maybe you can bring it 2607 01:31:18,790 --> 01:31:15,840 back home to the history thing and how 2608 01:31:22,070 --> 01:31:18,800 we deal with our complicated complicated 2609 01:31:24,950 --> 01:31:22,080 history and and how we own it and at the 2610 01:31:27,910 --> 01:31:24,960 same time deal with it as what we are 2611 01:31:28,790 --> 01:31:27,920 going to be going forward 2612 01:31:30,149 --> 01:31:28,800 well 2613 01:31:33,270 --> 01:31:30,159 i have a question for you because i'm 2614 01:31:35,110 --> 01:31:33,280 kind of curious on your thoughts on 2615 01:31:37,750 --> 01:31:35,120 there's some people who believe they 2616 01:31:39,669 --> 01:31:37,760 subscribe to the idea that the u.s the 2617 01:31:41,910 --> 01:31:39,679 way that they created 2618 01:31:44,070 --> 01:31:41,920 um the us experiment the way they were 2619 01:31:46,870 --> 01:31:44,080 molding this experiment was for the 2620 01:31:48,629 --> 01:31:46,880 purpose of having a fear system 2621 01:31:50,470 --> 01:31:48,639 that you know had checks and balances 2622 01:31:51,590 --> 01:31:50,480 and some people believe like that was a 2623 01:31:54,070 --> 01:31:51,600 facade 2624 01:31:56,550 --> 01:31:54,080 and and really you know it was like this 2625 01:31:58,229 --> 01:31:56,560 illusion that you had a uh 2626 01:31:59,830 --> 01:31:58,239 checks and balances and and the system 2627 01:32:02,470 --> 01:31:59,840 was fair but it was there's always going 2628 01:32:03,750 --> 01:32:02,480 to be some hierarchy for a lack of 2629 01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:03,760 better term what do you think do you 2630 01:32:07,189 --> 01:32:05,280 think that like if the experiment was 2631 01:32:09,030 --> 01:32:07,199 done correctly like because you i hear 2632 01:32:10,629 --> 01:32:09,040 that argument from time to time where 2633 01:32:12,149 --> 01:32:10,639 people will say 2634 01:32:14,550 --> 01:32:12,159 they the founding fathers had the right 2635 01:32:16,470 --> 01:32:14,560 idea we just messed up their ideas we're 2636 01:32:19,750 --> 01:32:16,480 not we're not putting into practice 2637 01:32:21,669 --> 01:32:19,760 exactly the the way they envisioned 2638 01:32:23,270 --> 01:32:21,679 the system working 2639 01:32:25,189 --> 01:32:23,280 do you agree with that or what's your 2640 01:32:27,270 --> 01:32:25,199 thoughts i'm kind of curious it's 2641 01:32:29,189 --> 01:32:27,280 complicated right i mean we all know 2642 01:32:31,669 --> 01:32:29,199 this part too right like thomas 2643 01:32:34,790 --> 01:32:31,679 jefferson is a slave owner and he's not 2644 01:32:37,270 --> 01:32:34,800 only a slave owner but he's 2645 01:32:40,070 --> 01:32:37,280 you know the fact that you were having 2646 01:32:43,189 --> 01:32:40,080 sexual relations with one of your slaves 2647 01:32:44,870 --> 01:32:43,199 which is like so common so so common you 2648 01:32:46,390 --> 01:32:44,880 know there was just this 2649 01:32:48,070 --> 01:32:46,400 history 2650 01:32:50,709 --> 01:32:48,080 little factoid that came out there was 2651 01:32:52,390 --> 01:32:50,719 this woman who wrote kind of like 2652 01:32:53,590 --> 01:32:52,400 frederick douglass frederick douglass 2653 01:32:56,790 --> 01:32:53,600 the famous 2654 01:32:58,950 --> 01:32:56,800 guy who is born a slave and comes to be 2655 01:33:01,189 --> 01:32:58,960 one of the leading voices of abolition 2656 01:33:03,669 --> 01:33:01,199 and is meeting with abraham lincoln it 2657 01:33:06,229 --> 01:33:03,679 is probably singular singularly most 2658 01:33:09,350 --> 01:33:06,239 responsible for changing abraham 2659 01:33:11,270 --> 01:33:09,360 lincoln's views on slavery because 2660 01:33:12,870 --> 01:33:11,280 abraham lincoln starts out as we have to 2661 01:33:15,910 --> 01:33:12,880 preserve the union 2662 01:33:19,270 --> 01:33:15,920 first and foremost and slavery he was 2663 01:33:20,629 --> 01:33:19,280 kind of this evil middle ground again 2664 01:33:22,629 --> 01:33:20,639 and frederick douglass and his 2665 01:33:23,910 --> 01:33:22,639 relationship really changed him there 2666 01:33:26,229 --> 01:33:23,920 was a woman who also wrote an 2667 01:33:28,709 --> 01:33:26,239 autobiography and for a long time 2668 01:33:31,270 --> 01:33:28,719 historians were like that's too crude it 2669 01:33:33,669 --> 01:33:31,280 can't possibly be true because what she 2670 01:33:37,350 --> 01:33:33,679 said if you're a woman almost from the 2671 01:33:41,189 --> 01:33:37,360 time you could you know be a little kid 2672 01:33:43,990 --> 01:33:41,199 you were subjected to being raped by 2673 01:33:47,110 --> 01:33:44,000 you know either your master or the 2674 01:33:49,350 --> 01:33:47,120 all the chain that would go out there or 2675 01:33:50,709 --> 01:33:49,360 leased out to someone else which is what 2676 01:33:52,310 --> 01:33:50,719 they did you know because you'll also 2677 01:33:54,390 --> 01:33:52,320 hear this stat people who want to 2678 01:33:56,790 --> 01:33:54,400 whitewash that history and say you know 2679 01:33:57,750 --> 01:33:56,800 and i have relatives who are southerners 2680 01:33:59,270 --> 01:33:57,760 and 2681 01:34:00,790 --> 01:33:59,280 a lot of great southerners but they 2682 01:34:03,430 --> 01:34:00,800 don't want to own their a lot of 2683 01:34:05,590 --> 01:34:03,440 times it's like you know only 25 of 2684 01:34:07,350 --> 01:34:05,600 people in the south even own slaves 2685 01:34:09,189 --> 01:34:07,360 stuff like that yeah but they rented 2686 01:34:11,189 --> 01:34:09,199 them out at a pretty high rate so it 2687 01:34:12,950 --> 01:34:11,199 wound up like just about everybody 2688 01:34:14,629 --> 01:34:12,960 whether it's you know the bring in the 2689 01:34:16,070 --> 01:34:14,639 crops or whatever 2690 01:34:18,470 --> 01:34:16,080 the point being 2691 01:34:22,709 --> 01:34:18,480 that's what it was like to be a enslaved 2692 01:34:26,310 --> 01:34:22,719 woman in america is constant constant 2693 01:34:29,910 --> 01:34:26,320 rape or threat of rape was always 2694 01:34:31,910 --> 01:34:29,920 at hand so it's thomas jefferson 2695 01:34:34,149 --> 01:34:31,920 thomas jefferson are we gonna take him 2696 01:34:35,669 --> 01:34:34,159 off all the coins uh you know a lot of 2697 01:34:38,550 --> 01:34:35,679 people have pointed this out obviously 2698 01:34:41,590 --> 01:34:38,560 but george washington had slaves these 2699 01:34:44,229 --> 01:34:41,600 people knew better everybody 2700 01:34:47,430 --> 01:34:44,239 knew better you know you can't enslave 2701 01:34:48,870 --> 01:34:47,440 people you can't do that they knew that 2702 01:34:51,109 --> 01:34:48,880 they were religious people but they 2703 01:34:53,030 --> 01:34:51,119 weren't real religious people they just 2704 01:34:55,430 --> 01:34:53,040 fixed it to what they wanted but you 2705 01:34:57,270 --> 01:34:55,440 know what we all do bad and horrible 2706 01:34:59,350 --> 01:34:57,280 things and there's redemption for 2707 01:35:01,350 --> 01:34:59,360 everybody and i'm not saying that you 2708 01:35:02,310 --> 01:35:01,360 know they have to live with that burden 2709 01:35:04,149 --> 01:35:02,320 or that 2710 01:35:05,510 --> 01:35:04,159 you know i have to live with that burden 2711 01:35:07,669 --> 01:35:05,520 you have to live with that burden 2712 01:35:10,629 --> 01:35:07,679 certainly not you know it because it's 2713 01:35:12,870 --> 01:35:10,639 irrelevant take a look at it from a 2714 01:35:14,229 --> 01:35:12,880 reincarnation standpoint like i always 2715 01:35:16,470 --> 01:35:14,239 point out obviously you're being 2716 01:35:19,590 --> 01:35:16,480 reincarnated obviously at some point you 2717 01:35:22,229 --> 01:35:19,600 had black skin brown skin yellow skin 2718 01:35:25,990 --> 01:35:22,239 all that stuff is true so don't get too 2719 01:35:29,030 --> 01:35:26,000 my thought is don't get too tied to that 2720 01:35:31,430 --> 01:35:29,040 but back to the question at hand is 2721 01:35:33,669 --> 01:35:31,440 nothing's perfect but 2722 01:35:36,229 --> 01:35:33,679 it it did seem like 2723 01:35:37,510 --> 01:35:36,239 they had learned it what it seems to me 2724 01:35:40,310 --> 01:35:37,520 and then i want you to answer that 2725 01:35:42,470 --> 01:35:40,320 question as we kind of wrap up and talk 2726 01:35:45,750 --> 01:35:42,480 about what's coming up on union of the 2727 01:35:47,189 --> 01:35:45,760 unwanted and the ripple effect but 2728 01:35:49,669 --> 01:35:47,199 you know 2729 01:35:51,750 --> 01:35:49,679 i think we have to respect the fact that 2730 01:35:54,790 --> 01:35:51,760 the quote-unquote founding founding 2731 01:35:58,149 --> 01:35:54,800 fathers which is even a charged 2732 01:36:00,550 --> 01:35:58,159 phrase they had learned some 2733 01:36:03,189 --> 01:36:00,560 and they knew some and they tried 2734 01:36:05,750 --> 01:36:03,199 to pass it on to us and a lot of the 2735 01:36:07,270 --> 01:36:05,760 lessons that they were trying to pass on 2736 01:36:12,310 --> 01:36:07,280 even like i don't know about your dad 2737 01:36:17,750 --> 01:36:15,030 do as i say not as i do you know what i 2738 01:36:18,950 --> 01:36:17,760 mean because it's hard to always do the 2739 01:36:24,390 --> 01:36:18,960 right thing 2740 01:36:26,070 --> 01:36:24,400 to do and i think the founding fathers 2741 01:36:27,590 --> 01:36:26,080 there's a little bit of wisdom in that 2742 01:36:30,070 --> 01:36:27,600 they knew what the right thing was and 2743 01:36:32,229 --> 01:36:30,080 they tried to pass it along and i i i 2744 01:36:34,229 --> 01:36:32,239 think it it's got a service now it's our 2745 01:36:35,990 --> 01:36:34,239 best chance it's our i don't know if 2746 01:36:36,830 --> 01:36:36,000 it's our only chance but it's our best 2747 01:36:39,510 --> 01:36:36,840 chance 2748 01:36:41,189 --> 01:36:39,520 against again people back to the thing 2749 01:36:42,950 --> 01:36:41,199 like you don't 2750 01:36:45,750 --> 01:36:42,960 you just need to reflect back what we 2751 01:36:47,350 --> 01:36:45,760 started with is that you can't start 2752 01:36:49,270 --> 01:36:47,360 banning people 2753 01:36:52,310 --> 01:36:49,280 you know you can't you can't be in the 2754 01:36:53,510 --> 01:36:52,320 state we're at banning people mandating 2755 01:36:58,390 --> 01:36:53,520 stuff 2756 01:37:00,790 --> 01:36:58,400 that we're in the middle of that all us 2757 01:37:03,750 --> 01:37:00,800 normies want to bury our head in 2758 01:37:05,510 --> 01:37:03,760 you can't comply to that and think this 2759 01:37:07,189 --> 01:37:05,520 is gonna turn out 2760 01:37:08,950 --> 01:37:07,199 that's where we need to return to that 2761 01:37:12,149 --> 01:37:08,960 energy of the founding fathers and they 2762 01:37:14,470 --> 01:37:12,159 said no it ain't if we don't do 2763 01:37:17,590 --> 01:37:14,480 something 2764 01:37:20,070 --> 01:37:17,600 we will all either hang together or hang 2765 01:37:22,470 --> 01:37:20,080 separately as 2766 01:37:25,430 --> 01:37:22,480 the perv our famous perv benjamin 2767 01:37:26,790 --> 01:37:25,440 franklin said 2768 01:37:28,310 --> 01:37:26,800 what do you think 2769 01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:28,320 another great example of what you're 2770 01:37:35,750 --> 01:37:30,880 saying is mlk for example i mean he was 2771 01:37:37,030 --> 01:37:35,760 a womanizer he slept around he but he 2772 01:37:39,510 --> 01:37:37,040 seemed to know 2773 01:37:41,510 --> 01:37:39,520 what good was right and and what 2774 01:37:43,910 --> 01:37:41,520 being a good person was and loved one 2775 01:37:46,550 --> 01:37:43,920 another and obviously his you know i had 2776 01:37:48,470 --> 01:37:46,560 a dream speech and all these things 2777 01:37:51,990 --> 01:37:48,480 you know he it seemed like his heart was 2778 01:37:54,310 --> 01:37:52,000 filled with with love and and acceptance 2779 01:37:56,390 --> 01:37:54,320 and forgiveness and and yet he wasn't 2780 01:37:59,510 --> 01:37:56,400 the perfect person i think that's 2781 01:38:02,390 --> 01:37:59,520 the story of humans right like we all 2782 01:38:04,550 --> 01:38:02,400 have flaws and we all you know and i 2783 01:38:07,510 --> 01:38:04,560 think that's what what's that quote like 2784 01:38:09,030 --> 01:38:07,520 uh the biggest trick the devil played 2785 01:38:10,870 --> 01:38:09,040 was or 2786 01:38:12,790 --> 01:38:10,880 that he he made people think he didn't 2787 01:38:13,910 --> 01:38:12,800 exist right wasn't wasn't that yeah 2788 01:38:15,590 --> 01:38:13,920 something along those lines i probably 2789 01:38:18,390 --> 01:38:15,600 messed up i messed up every quote so i'm 2790 01:38:20,070 --> 01:38:18,400 sure i messed that one up but it's uh 2791 01:38:23,590 --> 01:38:20,080 without a doubt like that i think that's 2792 01:38:24,950 --> 01:38:23,600 a big part of it is that if you don't 2793 01:38:26,229 --> 01:38:24,960 there's a lot of people out there and i 2794 01:38:28,470 --> 01:38:26,239 don't know if it's a lack of 2795 01:38:30,149 --> 01:38:28,480 spirituality or a lack of asking these 2796 01:38:32,310 --> 01:38:30,159 bigger questions or searching for these 2797 01:38:35,910 --> 01:38:32,320 bigger answers 2798 01:38:38,709 --> 01:38:35,920 they truly don't believe evil exists and 2799 01:38:40,790 --> 01:38:38,719 and it does seem like that quote as you 2800 01:38:42,550 --> 01:38:40,800 know is true like it's like you've been 2801 01:38:47,030 --> 01:38:42,560 tricked into believing that it doesn't 2802 01:38:50,470 --> 01:38:47,040 exist and um that people who could 2803 01:38:51,350 --> 01:38:50,480 knowingly do harm to others don't exist 2804 01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:51,360 and 2805 01:38:55,830 --> 01:38:54,320 i think war is is always the example i 2806 01:38:57,990 --> 01:38:55,840 use because it's like okay you do know 2807 01:38:59,910 --> 01:38:58,000 like we look back at vietnam we look 2808 01:39:01,350 --> 01:38:59,920 back at um 2809 01:39:03,350 --> 01:39:01,360 you know iraq 2810 01:39:04,390 --> 01:39:03,360 afghanistan and 2811 01:39:06,550 --> 01:39:04,400 everybody 2812 01:39:08,870 --> 01:39:06,560 considers it a giant mess up 2813 01:39:11,910 --> 01:39:08,880 and even and if you take it even further 2814 01:39:15,830 --> 01:39:11,920 and you do some serious research into it 2815 01:39:18,390 --> 01:39:15,840 it wasn't a accidental mess up it was a 2816 01:39:20,229 --> 01:39:18,400 mess up on purpose and that means that 2817 01:39:22,790 --> 01:39:20,239 there's people today who are dealing 2818 01:39:25,189 --> 01:39:22,800 with ptsd there's people today who has 2819 01:39:28,629 --> 01:39:25,199 law who have lost loved ones there's 2820 01:39:31,750 --> 01:39:28,639 people today who have died 2821 01:39:34,629 --> 01:39:31,760 in and all this tragedy and horror and 2822 01:39:36,229 --> 01:39:34,639 blood spill was all for nothing and 2823 01:39:38,310 --> 01:39:36,239 based on lies 2824 01:39:43,590 --> 01:39:38,320 how is that not an example of evil how 2825 01:39:47,590 --> 01:39:45,270 giving people a vaccine that you know 2826 01:39:50,629 --> 01:39:47,600 could do harm to many like 2827 01:39:52,310 --> 01:39:50,639 the idea that we accept this thing like 2828 01:39:53,669 --> 01:39:52,320 we we know this happened it's 2829 01:39:55,430 --> 01:39:53,679 historically 2830 01:39:57,189 --> 01:39:55,440 accepted that 2831 01:39:59,510 --> 01:39:57,199 you know you look at the 2832 01:40:01,669 --> 01:39:59,520 the weapons of mass destruction all the 2833 01:40:02,629 --> 01:40:01,679 deception that went into that you look 2834 01:40:05,669 --> 01:40:02,639 at 2835 01:40:07,189 --> 01:40:05,679 the anthrax scare and and you know where 2836 01:40:09,030 --> 01:40:07,199 they anthrax came from and all that 2837 01:40:10,149 --> 01:40:09,040 stuff and just kept people paranoid 2838 01:40:11,270 --> 01:40:10,159 because everybody was freaking out it's 2839 01:40:12,870 --> 01:40:11,280 like yeah we gotta fight terry i don't 2840 01:40:15,510 --> 01:40:12,880 know what that means but yeah we gotta 2841 01:40:17,990 --> 01:40:15,520 do something and keeping everybody so 2842 01:40:19,990 --> 01:40:18,000 anxious and scared that they make 2843 01:40:21,270 --> 01:40:20,000 irrational decisions and they 2844 01:40:23,750 --> 01:40:21,280 emotionally 2845 01:40:25,910 --> 01:40:23,760 react right so it's like super easy to 2846 01:40:27,510 --> 01:40:25,920 be like yeah let's go into iraq yeah 2847 01:40:29,669 --> 01:40:27,520 yeah i'm for iraq because i'm freaking 2848 01:40:31,590 --> 01:40:29,679 out man i'm afraid because we're at code 2849 01:40:33,270 --> 01:40:31,600 red and there's anthrax in the mail and 2850 01:40:35,830 --> 01:40:33,280 the towers came down we need to do 2851 01:40:37,430 --> 01:40:35,840 something and you get people emotionally 2852 01:40:39,030 --> 01:40:37,440 react and 2853 01:40:41,030 --> 01:40:39,040 that's what's going on now i mean it's 2854 01:40:43,750 --> 01:40:41,040 the same thing only instead of war 2855 01:40:44,550 --> 01:40:43,760 propaganda it's big pharma propaganda 2856 01:40:46,470 --> 01:40:44,560 and 2857 01:40:49,350 --> 01:40:46,480 it's just but it's the same idea you're 2858 01:40:51,109 --> 01:40:49,360 you're capitalizing on people's emotions 2859 01:40:53,830 --> 01:40:51,119 and you're scaring them and i mean 2860 01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:53,840 there's been plenty of studies about how 2861 01:40:57,830 --> 01:40:55,840 how hard it is for for us to think 2862 01:40:59,510 --> 01:40:57,840 logically and make logical decisions 2863 01:41:01,350 --> 01:40:59,520 when we're in motion or when we're 2864 01:41:03,590 --> 01:41:01,360 afraid and and your emotions are 2865 01:41:05,990 --> 01:41:03,600 influencing and i also think that 2866 01:41:07,750 --> 01:41:06,000 it's we all emotions are constantly 2867 01:41:10,070 --> 01:41:07,760 playing a factor into 2868 01:41:11,669 --> 01:41:10,080 uh our our thinking you know we lo 2869 01:41:14,390 --> 01:41:11,679 there's no such thing as a completely 2870 01:41:16,550 --> 01:41:14,400 logical being that uh doesn't have any 2871 01:41:19,030 --> 01:41:16,560 other outside influences you know 2872 01:41:20,229 --> 01:41:19,040 child the hood stuff and and other 2873 01:41:21,109 --> 01:41:20,239 influences 2874 01:41:23,109 --> 01:41:21,119 will 2875 01:41:24,629 --> 01:41:23,119 have some type of effect on on the way 2876 01:41:27,109 --> 01:41:24,639 you look at information and the way you 2877 01:41:28,390 --> 01:41:27,119 analyze information dissect information 2878 01:41:30,149 --> 01:41:28,400 but 2879 01:41:33,030 --> 01:41:30,159 without a doubt i mean i agree with you 2880 01:41:35,109 --> 01:41:33,040 like we the evil exists 2881 01:41:37,189 --> 01:41:35,119 and once you accept that 2882 01:41:39,910 --> 01:41:37,199 i think it's much easier to accept 2883 01:41:43,750 --> 01:41:39,920 what's going on and and i think you know 2884 01:41:45,750 --> 01:41:43,760 that's a huge issue is that 2885 01:41:47,669 --> 01:41:45,760 people just don't you know people just i 2886 01:41:49,910 --> 01:41:47,679 don't know what it is and i and i don't 2887 01:41:51,750 --> 01:41:49,920 know if that's also a part of the the 2888 01:41:54,149 --> 01:41:51,760 agenda right because that's something 2889 01:41:56,229 --> 01:41:54,159 we've also been talking a lot about in 2890 01:41:57,910 --> 01:41:56,239 the uh 2891 01:42:00,149 --> 01:41:57,920 alternate media community 2892 01:42:02,550 --> 01:42:00,159 and i've heard you say it too on shows 2893 01:42:05,510 --> 01:42:02,560 on your show about uh atheism and and 2894 01:42:07,510 --> 01:42:05,520 how you know this this pro science like 2895 01:42:09,990 --> 01:42:07,520 everything's surface level 2896 01:42:13,109 --> 01:42:10,000 explainable and and super any 2897 01:42:16,790 --> 01:42:13,119 supernatural conversation is is is uh 2898 01:42:17,910 --> 01:42:16,800 childish or not worth entertaining uh 2899 01:42:20,550 --> 01:42:17,920 if that 2900 01:42:23,109 --> 01:42:20,560 is either a part of the plan to to get 2901 01:42:25,750 --> 01:42:23,119 people to just not believe in evil and 2902 01:42:26,950 --> 01:42:25,760 not ask these bigger questions or if 2903 01:42:29,270 --> 01:42:26,960 it's just something they're taking 2904 01:42:30,790 --> 01:42:29,280 advantage of i don't know but either way 2905 01:42:32,229 --> 01:42:30,800 it's uh did you have some comments on 2906 01:42:33,830 --> 01:42:32,239 that 2907 01:42:36,310 --> 01:42:33,840 don't know go ahead 2908 01:42:38,390 --> 01:42:36,320 no i was i was yeah i mean i i just i 2909 01:42:40,229 --> 01:42:38,400 think it seems to work in their 2910 01:42:42,070 --> 01:42:40,239 advantage in regards to pushing us in a 2911 01:42:43,830 --> 01:42:42,080 direction that seemed like that seems 2912 01:42:47,030 --> 01:42:43,840 like we're being pushed into and that's 2913 01:42:48,390 --> 01:42:47,040 this idea of um losing 2914 01:42:49,590 --> 01:42:48,400 uh 2915 01:42:51,510 --> 01:42:49,600 just 2916 01:42:53,350 --> 01:42:51,520 losing some of the things that make us 2917 01:42:54,709 --> 01:42:53,360 human and that's asking those bigger 2918 01:42:56,870 --> 01:42:54,719 questions i don't know if you ever if 2919 01:42:58,310 --> 01:42:56,880 you ever saw the i remember those videos 2920 01:43:01,669 --> 01:42:58,320 uh years ago when i saw when they had 2921 01:43:03,109 --> 01:43:01,679 two aai robots talking to one another 2922 01:43:05,350 --> 01:43:03,119 and it didn't take long before they 2923 01:43:07,030 --> 01:43:05,360 started asking where they came from and 2924 01:43:09,750 --> 01:43:07,040 like you know asking those bigger 2925 01:43:11,109 --> 01:43:09,760 questions and i think that's inherent in 2926 01:43:12,790 --> 01:43:11,119 us i mean asking those bigger questions 2927 01:43:14,070 --> 01:43:12,800 i mean to me i almost don't understand 2928 01:43:15,189 --> 01:43:14,080 people who don't ask those bigger 2929 01:43:16,870 --> 01:43:15,199 questions i'm like what do you mean you 2930 01:43:18,390 --> 01:43:16,880 don't care or you don't or you've never 2931 01:43:20,070 --> 01:43:18,400 pondered on this i'm like to me that's 2932 01:43:23,189 --> 01:43:20,080 like that's so 2933 01:43:24,709 --> 01:43:23,199 surreal like you're not cure and 2934 01:43:26,070 --> 01:43:24,719 again i think when you look at the 2935 01:43:28,470 --> 01:43:26,080 school system 2936 01:43:31,590 --> 01:43:28,480 making us people who regurgitate 2937 01:43:33,750 --> 01:43:31,600 information uh you you remove things 2938 01:43:35,750 --> 01:43:33,760 from our lives that that provoke 2939 01:43:37,270 --> 01:43:35,760 imagination and critical thinking and 2940 01:43:39,350 --> 01:43:37,280 just make us 2941 01:43:41,830 --> 01:43:39,360 just help mold little robots that just 2942 01:43:43,910 --> 01:43:41,840 regurgitate information and 2943 01:43:45,350 --> 01:43:43,920 this go bad i know the rockefellers like 2944 01:43:47,510 --> 01:43:45,360 they seem like they they get to blame 2945 01:43:50,149 --> 01:43:47,520 for everything but in most cases it's 2946 01:43:52,629 --> 01:43:50,159 true uh when you look at like uh 2947 01:43:54,629 --> 01:43:52,639 schools and and you know teaching people 2948 01:43:56,870 --> 01:43:54,639 how to sit down at a desk 2949 01:43:58,629 --> 01:43:56,880 and and even the bell idea of having a 2950 01:44:00,310 --> 01:43:58,639 bell when your shift is over 2951 01:44:01,990 --> 01:44:00,320 it it all comes from creating better 2952 01:44:03,109 --> 01:44:02,000 factory workers they want i think 2953 01:44:03,990 --> 01:44:03,119 naturally 2954 01:44:05,990 --> 01:44:04,000 we're 2955 01:44:07,189 --> 01:44:06,000 it's humans are not designed to be 2956 01:44:08,870 --> 01:44:07,199 factory workers we're not designed to be 2957 01:44:11,750 --> 01:44:08,880 a front of a machine doing a repetitive 2958 01:44:13,109 --> 01:44:11,760 thing for eight nine 10 hours a day and 2959 01:44:15,830 --> 01:44:13,119 they were trying to create better 2960 01:44:18,070 --> 01:44:15,840 factory workers and um 2961 01:44:20,470 --> 01:44:18,080 did you want to add to that out well 2962 01:44:22,709 --> 01:44:20,480 that one always gets me 2963 01:44:24,550 --> 01:44:22,719 that that just gets a little bit tricky 2964 01:44:25,669 --> 01:44:24,560 i mean i get what you're saying but like 2965 01:44:27,189 --> 01:44:25,679 you know what 2966 01:44:30,870 --> 01:44:27,199 i have kids we look for a lot of 2967 01:44:32,870 --> 01:44:30,880 different ways how to do it you know and 2968 01:44:35,590 --> 01:44:32,880 not nothing is perfect i'll tell you 2969 01:44:38,470 --> 01:44:35,600 what as we wrap this thing up 2970 01:44:40,390 --> 01:44:38,480 do tell people uh just really quickly 2971 01:44:43,270 --> 01:44:40,400

3022 01:46:32,870 --> 01:46:30,719 in regards to a lot of this but so i i 3023 01:46:35,750 --> 01:46:32,880 know he's an interesting um interview 3024 01:46:37,270 --> 01:46:35,760 i'm sure i have uh some probably some 3025 01:46:38,950 --> 01:46:37,280 more doctors coming on because it's it's 3026 01:46:41,270 --> 01:46:38,960 something that i always love talking 3027 01:46:43,830 --> 01:46:41,280 about um and then you've been wanted i 3028 01:46:44,870 --> 01:46:43,840 know uh we've we've kind of brainstormed 3029 01:46:46,790 --> 01:46:44,880 um 3030 01:46:49,189 --> 01:46:46,800 from time to time we brainstormed some 3031 01:46:52,470 --> 01:46:49,199 possible ideas for future shows i know 3032 01:46:53,510 --> 01:46:52,480 uh sam has suggested uh 3033 01:46:55,910 --> 01:46:53,520 a show on 3034 01:46:58,229 --> 01:46:55,920 the december 6 event because there's so 3035 01:47:00,149 --> 01:46:58,239 many conflicting opinions and stuff like 3036 01:47:01,990 --> 01:47:00,159 that and doing a whole show on on what 3037 01:47:04,070 --> 01:47:02,000 we think happened there and 3038 01:47:06,149 --> 01:47:04,080 was there psy up inside the psyop was it 3039 01:47:08,390 --> 01:47:06,159 a psy up what you know what happened 3040 01:47:10,149 --> 01:47:08,400 um and then also i know charlie's been 3041 01:47:11,189 --> 01:47:10,159 uh suggesting you know and i think it's 3042 01:47:13,910 --> 01:47:11,199 a you know they're both great 3043 01:47:16,229 --> 01:47:13,920 suggestions about doing a show on uh on 3044 01:47:18,709 --> 01:47:16,239 food and and being the you know 3045 01:47:20,470 --> 01:47:18,719 independent on in in regards to your 3046 01:47:22,629 --> 01:47:20,480 your necessities and and how to take 3047 01:47:24,310 --> 01:47:22,639 care of yourself and your family and 3048 01:47:25,590 --> 01:47:24,320 i mean when you're growing food you're 3049 01:47:27,030 --> 01:47:25,600 growing you're basically growing money 3050 01:47:28,790 --> 01:47:27,040 because it's it's stuff that you don't 3051 01:47:30,870 --> 01:47:28,800 end up having to buy and you know what's 3052 01:47:33,990 --> 01:47:30,880 in it you know it's not some um 3053 01:47:37,030 --> 01:47:34,000 you know some really clever marketing uh 3054 01:47:38,229 --> 01:47:37,040 label that says natural you know and and 3055 01:47:39,510 --> 01:47:38,239 was like what the does that mean 3056 01:47:42,390 --> 01:47:39,520 natural you know and there's nothing 3057 01:47:44,229 --> 01:47:42,400 natural in it and so 3058 01:47:46,709 --> 01:47:44,239 i think we're gonna maybe one of those 3059 01:47:49,109 --> 01:47:46,719 topics might be next i also like the 3060 01:47:50,709 --> 01:47:49,119 general um conversations like we had 3061 01:47:52,229 --> 01:47:50,719 last night so 3062 01:47:53,750 --> 01:47:52,239 who knows i mean honestly a lot of this 3063 01:47:56,310 --> 01:47:53,760 stuff gets uh 3064 01:47:57,750 --> 01:47:56,320 decided last second it's it's uh 3065 01:47:59,430 --> 01:47:57,760 i know you've been on 3066 01:48:01,270 --> 01:47:59,440 i mean for people who are listening who 3067 01:48:02,870 -->

3070 01:48:08,149 --> 01:48:07,040 ones one that really sticks out is the 3071 01:48:09,910 --> 01:48:08,159 um 3072 01:48:12,950 --> 01:48:09,920 near-death experiences because that was 3073 01:48:14,470 --> 01:48:12,960 a really unique and powerful show and uh 3074 01:48:15,990 --> 01:48:14,480 i i think that was you know that's kind 3075 01:48:17,510 --> 01:48:16,000 of the beautiful
