Welcome to the Canary in the Cage podcast.
We are here to entertain you, make you laugh, and maybe even educate you.
This is Ron Morgan and my co-host Dave Havlicek.
So we are going to get started right away.
Um, Dave, if I was to say cereal and you say, what would you say?
Killer?
Ah, see that's actually a good point.
No, the new tagline is, I say cereal, you say dinner.
What?
They're trying to push cereal for dinner now.
Who's that?
That would be, uh, Tony the Tiger?
Who is that? He's Kellogg, right?
He, uh, I don't want to get sued, so I'm not going to say that.
Oh yeah, sorry. Again, my opinion could be wrong.
So Kellogg is pushing cereal for dinner.
What the fuck?
So this actually goes back to the 1970s.
Okay.
In 1974, Sweden came up with a food pyramid that we pretty much adopted.
I didn't know it was in Sweden.
Yeah, it was actually in Sweden, which is weird, but it's why they did it.
They did it to fight inflation.
Okay.
And we adopted it to fight inflation because what is the second worst president we've ever had?
At least in our lifetime.
Well.
Our lifetime.
Oh, come on.
So, okay.
Oh, from the economy.
I was born in 82.
Oh, is that your lifetime?
Now, people shit on Jimmy Carter, but look, Jimmy Carter was not actually that bad of a president.
The inflation was not his fault.
Whose fault was it?
Johnson, Kennedy.
Ah.
But again.
He hit 18%.
Well, right, because the, so inflation is caused by money printing, right?
Right.
Uh, now, now Kennedy was kind of a welfare guy.
Not like, not like Johnson was.
Uh, Johnson really fucking ramped it up.
And he did the Vietnam War.
Right.
Right.
So this is just printing money, printing money, printing money.
And, and actually what happened was, uh, we were on the gold standard back then.
Right.
So after World War II, we entered an agreement with all these countries saying, well, we'll
hold all your gold and we'll print dollars.
And then you guys use the dollars to buy oil and such.
And, and France, uh, they, they said, you know what?
I think Americans are printing dollars that they don't have the gold for.
That might be true.
So they came and said, we want to, we want our gold back.
So they brought, cause they weren't allowed to buy gold.
Like American citizens weren't allowed to buy gold.
Uh, but, but the sovereign nations were.
So they come and they say, uh, we want our gold back.
And Johnson's like, uh.
Uh, we don't have it.
Well, so he had enough to cover just France.
Right.
But now everybody else was like, well, I think we want our gold back too.
Uh, and, and by that time Nixon was in office.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And in 1971 is, is when he said, you know what?
Uh, we're not going to give you your gold.
Go fuck yourself.
What are you going to do?
Attack us?
And well, they, they, so yeah, that's, that's why all that inflation happened.
No, there, cause there is a, there's a big, fairly, fairly large group out there that
says they want, they want to, uh, see how much gold we actually have.
Cause they actually don't think we have the gold we say we do.
I don't, I don't think we do.
But, but okay.
But that's actually not where I'm going with that, but it's a good, but no, but it's a
great conversation because people need to realize that again, the government is misleading
us on our gold.
Gold supply.
Oh yeah.
And everything else.
Yeah.
So, but, but so since we started this, Jimmy Carter mismaligned.
Oh, okay.
That's fine.
He was like the, the fall guy.
But why couldn't he fix it though?
It was too late.
No.
It's the same reason why Trump can't fix it.
So you think when Trump gets back into office, which we're going to talk about that in a
second.
Can't fix it.
So you think it's a, it's a no go?
No.
So if he was to start the drilling again.
It would help a tiny little bit.
No.
Okay.
So wait.
So we first become energy independent, which would lower some prices.
We've already printed the money.
But we then become energy dominant and we start exporting.
It doesn't matter.
So it's too late.
So we're done.
We were done in 71 when Nixon did this.
So the only hope is buy gold and live in a bunker.
Unregulated government bunker, I might add.
Okay.
So, but, so what I learned was the food pyramid was started to hide inflation from the citizens.
And it started in Sweden.
And sure enough, we saw something that worked.
So we picked it up.
Cause if you look at the food pyramid, well, okay, first of all, so this information, I
actually, I do want to credit where I got my sources from.
This is redacted news with Clayton Morris.
He's the one who, who kind of broke this story earlier this week.
And it really sparked something in me because I've always been against the food pyramid.
Didn't really know why, but it just seems stupid to me.
So it's, it is, it's designed.
To keep people stupid.
So we don't think we're inflation times.
Cause if you look at the way the food pyramids built, it's built more.
So what we, um, grains are like servings of grain and more processed foods.
Yeah.
So, um, something that's probably not actually food because cereal is the worst product on one of the worst products in the market today.
I mean, don't get me wrong when I was in the seventies, I would love my cereal.
Then you get drink the milk with the sugar in it.
We didn't know.
We thought we were being good American citizens by eating cereal.
That's what was sold to us.
Um, Oh, what else do I have?
Cause I I've actually been a big advocate over the years.
This is something that's gone for years.
I think sugar should be a controlled substance.
No, because it really is bad for our bodies.
It's not good.
You got it.
If you regulate it, you know, oh, it's a nice treat.
Getting government involved.
No, no, no, no, no.
You, you regulate it, not the government, not somebody else.
You regulate your intake because I actually don't.
Really.
Have.
A sweet tooth.
Right.
So I don't.
Yeah.
I don't either enjoy dessert or sweets.
Most of the time I'll eat fruits.
Um, and then once in a while I'll do a dessert when I crave it.
Yeah.
Like that's my body saying, okay, dumb ass, put some sugar in there.
Yeah.
Well, that's, yeah, that's just your brain telling you need sugar though.
Cause your body doesn't crave that.
It's all part of the same thing.
I mean, but if you train, if you train yourself, right.
You, you, your body knows what it needs, right?
Right.
Like if you think about a wild animal, like they know what they need to eat.
Yeah.
And when to eat it.
Right.
Right.
And we're supposed to be the smartest animal alive, but, but we can't figure it out.
We're the ones eating pasta to fill our belly and animals are eating meat.
Sometimes pasta is good.
It's good for you, but it's, it's good to eat, but is it really good for you?
Like I said, in moderation, right?
Like again, when, when you crave it now, you have to, you have to train yourself to have
the right cravings because this whole food pyramid thing is actually fucked with our
bodies.
Right.
And, and made them crave the wrong things, which is why people stuff themselves with
sugar.
Right.
And get fat and, and pasta and, and like all these things that are, are good in moderation.
And then they'll say, oh, meat, I don't, I don't do meat.
No, like meat is, is what you need to focus on.
Yes.
And then like pasta is a side dish or a once in a while thing.
A side dish.
I, I will, I will agree pasta should be a side dish.
And then.
But not a main course.
Maybe dessert once a week.
Ooh, a little bit of sugar.
Yeah.
I, I'm not, I, I have a salty tooth over a sweet tooth.
Oh yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
But yeah, so yeah, so I, I'm kind of, I'm not a big fan of sugar.
I have once in a while.
I'll, you know, enjoy 420 and then enjoy some sugar after that.
And that's not my body telling me.
That's just my brain going.
Yeah, it's time to have some sugar.
But no, we should be eating more meat and, and, and dairy.
And that, that's the problem because they, they, they, even in the seventies, they replaced
the egg and the bacon breakfast for cereal because it's easier.
Right.
And that's what they're trying to do now.
Kellogg actually has an ad out that says, when I say cereal, you say, the kids are like
dinner.
And I'm like, what in the actual hell is going on here?
I mean, we're, we're really destroying our kids.
Turn off your TVs people.
Right.
Do, do the whole media server that I was talking about where, where you have just the movie,
just the TV show, no commercial, no bullshit.
And if you need, if you need advertisement on there, just give us a call.
We'll create a few ads for you and it'll, they'll be funny and they won't be true, but
we'll give, we'll give you the, the, the commercial experience without actually having to watch
the dumb ass from Kellogg.
You know what?
Eat cereal for dinner.
You know what I like to do sometimes?
Do we want to know this?
Yeah, this is fine.
This is family friendly.
I'll go on YouTube and I'll type like a 1980s TV commercials.
I have done that.
And they just have hours and hours and hours of these things.
And it's wow, nostalgia, man.
Well, actually it's funny you mentioned that because on the redacted, they went back to
the 1950s and they were showing commercials then.
Five out of six doctors prefer Marlboros.
Yeah.
Well, actually, I'll get back to the whole commercial in the 1950s.
They actually had this similar thing that you go dentine?
Yeah.
Nine out of ten dentists prefer dentine, whatever, but they had a doctor come out and say,
well, cheeseburgers are actually good for you, good for you.
And then, because it hits all the food groups.
And I guess that's legit.
I guess.
But, I don't know, keep the bread off, eat the patty.
I'll take a cheeseburger.
Stay the hell away from plant-based food and plant-based milk.
It's a scam.
They're trying to do that to us.
Well, you know what?
I have to admit that some of that plant-based stuff is better in coffee.
Actually, plant-based milk is actually really bad.
It's the process that goes through.
I understand it's terrible.
Oh, you're just under your taste buds.
Only in coffee.
I don't know why.
It doesn't make sense.
Well, I guess my first question is, why the fuck do you put anything in coffee for?
You don't like the taste of the bean?
No.
Then don't drink coffee.
I need the caffeine.
Oh, Jesus.
I'm addicted to caffeine.
If I could get caffeine a better way, I would do that.
Actually, you can buy caffeinated water nowadays.
But it's always flavored with the goofy stevia nonsense.
If it was just plain water, maybe iced tea or something.
There was actually a company sued because they were adding caffeinated water to their water jugs.
And they didn't tell their employer.
Oh, boy.
Those greedy corporations.
What are you going to do?
When I was a kid, I drank Jolt.
Remember that stuff?
Oh, dear God.
Oh, Jolt.
Well, but that was just like the start of the energy drinks.
Yeah.
I mean, I bet you if you look at the specs of Jolt to what like a Red Bull is or even what the Monster is,
I'll bet you it's probably better for you.
Well, Jolt was just caffeine.
And like Red Bull is like taurine and all that weird stuff.
Some shit I can't pronounce.
But that goes into stuff, guys.
The government is lying about our food.
They're trying to manipulate us.
They're trying to.
They think we're stupid.
And they're going to run TV ads to try to say that this is what you eat.
No, people.
It's simple.
It's meat.
It's vegetables.
It's, you know, butter.
Real butter.
Don't do that margarine crap.
And dairy.
Dairy is good for you.
Because I don't really like give my dogs table scraps.
But I will give them a piece of steak if I have.
I'll give them stuff.
That's.
It's more natural in nature.
Yeah.
That they come across.
And not this like pasta.
I don't give my.
I would never give my dogs pasta or that kind of stuff.
Because it's just not right.
It's not good for us.
Right.
Look at the ingredients.
If you got more than three ingredients in food, it's probably not food.
So that's one of the things I wanted to talk about.
What do you got?
Oh, I'm going to kind of go on a little rant here.
I love rants.
So I'm a little pissed.
Right.
So last week we talked about Trump coming to the Libertarian Convention.
Yes.
Yes.
And this is like historic.
I mean.
Yeah.
So you had all these dipshits on Twitter.
And these are the guys that ran the party before the Mises caucus took over.
Okay.
In 2022.
Okay.
And like they're super fucking salty.
Right.
Because we voted them out.
And I wasn't there.
I joined after the Mises caucus.
So I actually joined before that.
Okay.
And I had heard.
But I thought that was a Nevada thing.
Was that a nationwide thing?
No, no.
Nationwide.
Nationwide.
Not every state did it.
But a majority of the states did it.
Okay.
So I mean like I had always been a Libertarian.
But I would look at these fucking clowns and say you guys are a joke.
Why would I join your party?
Why would I donate?
Why would I volunteer my time?
Right.
You put a fat naked idiot on the stage.
You put Gary Johnson.
You have this fucking vermin supreme guy that wears a boot on his head.
And the guy is like actually fucking tweeting at me at our podcast account.
Really?
Yeah.
He's a fucking idiot.
But so Mises caucus takes over.
I joined.
Lots of other people joined.
I mean it's not just me.
And these salty idiots that got kicked out.
All they do is shit talk.
And they've been doing it for two years straight.
Okay.
So when Trump announced that he's going to show up, they're like, oh, they're just MAGA fascists.
They invited Trump.
And, you know, we.
We clapped back saying, actually, we invited Biden, Trump and RFK.
Only Trump said yes.
And they would be, oh, you're lying.
You have no proof of that.
You're making it up.
So, well, I guess.
Guess what happens?
RFK says, well, I'm going to show up.
Oh, is he?
And I want to debate you, Trump.
Like he's throwing challenges at you.
At the Libertarian Convention.
Yes.
But they're not going to debate.
That's just RFK throwing challenges out.
Okay.
But now RFK says he's going to show up.
And then now they're coming back.
Well, you.
You guys are just.
It's all a bunch of bullshit.
You're not.
You're not even debating your own candidates.
Your own candidates are getting sidelined for Trump and RFK, which, you know, we just.
Let's just ignore the fact that what you said we were lying about was actually true.
Right.
We did invite them.
And then today, Vivek Ramaswamy says, I'm going to come to the Libertarian Party Convention
and I'm going to debate one of your vice president candidates.
Oh, shit.
So now we.
We actually have a debate.
So wait.
So like CNN might actually mumble the word libertarian?
They're going to have to.
Holy.
CNN will clap.
So it'll just go off air, right?
Well, but it's a funny thing.
Like, so they said it was all a lie.
We only invited Trump.
RFK says, oh, I'm going to come too.
And they said, well, you're.
But you're not even.
You're not even debating your own candidates.
And then Vivek says, well, I'll debate one of your candidates.
And now they're throwing more bullshit.
Right.
These people are not serious.
We're libertarians.
What do you want from us?
We're libertarians.
We're libertarians.
We're libertarians.
We're libertarians.
We're blowhards.
No, these people are not libertarians.
Like, I'm convinced at this point.
Like, I'm not a conspiracy theorist like you.
But I can't explain this behavior other than they've been on the CIA payroll to make the
Libertarian Party look like a joke for the last 50 fucking years.
And we booted their asses out.
And now they're fucking scrambling because they lost their paychecks.
Oh, you are becoming a conspiracy theorist.
I mean, explain it to me.
No, that's what conspiracy is.
That's what you think.
And you go, huh, that doesn't seem right.
Why are they so mad?
Like, and they're saying shit like, oh, Mises caucus has never won an election.
Hey, dumb fuck, there's been no elections since we've taken over the party.
What elections could we have won?
And by the way, you guys didn't win a single fucking election for 50 fucking years.
There was a librarian.
Oh, okay.
And then there was the one mayor of Glendale, Colorado.
I don't give a shit, dude.
Well, but he used strippers and beer.
I don't care.
I don't care.
They had 50 years.
So that's not on them.
That's on him.
He won that one.
They had 50 years of party control.
And we got a librarian out of them.
They did nothing.
Okay.
And now they're mad because they're out on their asses.
Like, okay, pretend that, I don't know, you're dating a woman.
Okay.
And she does some stupid shit.
And you're like, you know what?
I'm done with this bitch.
She's crazy.
And then you leave her.
Okay.
Right.
But two years later, you're still tweeting about it 20 fucking times a day.
Like, dude, something's wrong with you.
Right?
You're the problem.
Yeah.
Not her.
No, that's great.
But that's what these guys are doing.
Okay.
Holy fuck.
And I'm so pissed off because I'm like clapping back through our podcast account.
Hopefully drumming up some.
Is that on X or where's that on?
Yeah, Twitter, X.
How am I missing that?
I don't know.
Like, I get involved in this shit.
You do.
I know.
I'm just.
But that's my little rant there.
No, that's a good rant.
And you got a little conspiracy going in there.
I like that.
Because, I mean, I'm not a conspiracy theorist because I just want to talk about crazy things.
Crazy shit.
I think about.
Because most of my conspiracies revolve around the government.
Uh-huh.
So most of my conspiracies are probably true because the government sucks.
And they do a lot of shit.
Like, I don't.
I mean, I'm not getting into the non-government stuff.
I just want to deal with the stuff that they do.
I mean, because look at what happened in Congress.
What was it?
Oh.
The HR 4108.
What is that?
That would be the bill that went through Congress.
Basically, lobbying by Kellogg.
And they are doing.
They're trying to make schools only serve plant-based food to our children.
Well, no.
But that's conditioning.
It's like, we're going to condition your children in public school to eat plant-based food.
So, you know, 20 years, 30 years down the road, we're not going to.
They're not going to fight back like we are saying that we're not going to eat the bugs.
Right.
You know, so.
Although.
The bugs are not plant.
But you kind of get where I'm going with that.
Because they still say cow farts are the worst thing for the environment.
Oh, Jesus, man.
What else?
Done with those notes.
Yeah, I got a whole bunch of notes.
Well, I think you're going to lose your prediction on a technicality.
Oh, the Congress?
Yeah.
Okay, so I've actually thought about this.
So, I still.
Okay.
So, I'm still.
Okay.
So, there's a whole lot to unpack on this one.
So, I could argue.
That the House is controlled by the Democrats right now because of Speaker Johnson.
Yeah, but he's still a Republican.
True.
But, I also think there's something afoot there.
I still think.
Because the weird thing is, Trump is still supporting him.
Yeah, I don't know what he's.
No, there's something going on.
Trump, he's.
Whether you like him or not, I don't care.
Vote Libertarian.
It's all I care about.
But, he's constantly.
He kind of.
He's got his thumb on stuff.
He knows how to control.
He's got his thumb on stuff.
He knows how to control.
The fact that he's still supporting Speaker Johnson.
There's something going on there.
I don't buy it.
I mean, that's always been his weakest point is who he surrounds himself with and who he
lends support to.
Yeah, but he supported Speaker Johnson even after he supported the FISA bill that allowed
to inspire American citizens as long as you're not in Congress.
I think, actually, Trump is starting to lose his mind due to age.
We see where Biden is and Trump is showing the cracks.
I don't see that.
I don't see that.
I don't see that.
I mean.
I mean, he stumbles.
He stumbles his speeches a lot more than he used to.
He does, you know, make gaffes more than he used to.
Well, but even, I mean, look at Bush.
George Bush Jr., that dude just made up words.
He was a fucking idiot.
That's probably very true.
But, I mean, you know, when you're giving hundreds of, when you're saying thousands
of words in a speech, I mean, you're going to have gaffes.
No, but I'm saying, like, he's getting worse than he used to be.
Oh, maybe.
Like, he used to go, like, literally six hours long and no mistakes.
And now.
Like, the cracks are showing.
Yeah, but you've also got the stress of all these court cases he's got going on.
I mean, that's not an excuse.
That's just.
No, it is.
Because, I mean.
No, it's not.
If your mind goes, it goes.
Look at the, the, the, the Stormy Daniels thing.
This is, I mean, literally falling apart.
Of course.
But, regardless of.
But he's forced to be in court.
I understand.
So, he's got to do that.
Plus, the dude, they really need to drop those charges against him.
Because he's going to win New York if they keep him in New York much longer.
He has got the construction workers vote.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
He's got the firemen are just coming out for him.
NYPD is showing signs of support to him.
Yeah.
He's good.
He's going to take New York if they don't watch.
Well, I've only barely followed the trial.
But, apparently, it looks really.
Like, I don't know where the prosecutors, like, they don't rehearse the question.
I still don't know the charges.
Well, it's covering up falsified business records.
Federal or state?
State.
Gone.
What's that word?
I was actually thinking about the drive home.
I forgot to look it up.
It's a word that I use, actually, quite a bit.
But, I'm having a gaffe right now.
I guess it's because of my age.
When the bill, when the law expires.
But, it doesn't.
No.
They're done.
No.
Those have.
No, they haven't.
Yes, they have.
What's the word I'm looking for?
We already discussed this.
No, I'm telling you.
The state charges.
It only expired if it's a misdemeanor charge.
No.
No.
So, the only charges they actually have against him are federal charges in a state court.
They are.
No, they're not.
Look.
You just said you're not following this case.
Well, I'm not following the testimony.
I followed.
I read the charges.
I know what the charges are.
It's a felony count of falsified business records of like 30.
A federal charge.
No.
It's not a federal charge.
Hey.
What's.
I can't.
Ah.
What's the term when a bill.
When a law expires.
Statute of limitations.
Statute of limitations.
That has not expired.
Yes, it has.
No.
It expired for the misdemeanor charge.
It has not expired for the felony charge.
Okay.
So, there's a lot of people that don't know what the hell is going on because they're
only prosecuting the states only going after federal charges, which they cannot do.
It has nothing to do with federal charges.
Okay.
They're not doing federal charges.
Okay.
That's what I'm saying, though.
They're saying you falsified business records in an attempt to cover up a crime, which is
a felony count of falsifying business records.
So, a story broke today on that as well.
Michael Cohen is actually the one that initiated all these payments.
Yeah.
Stormy Daniels has been very adamant.
She did not sleep with Trump.
Right.
I mean.
She said it before.
Right.
She signed documents and she said it on trial today.
Right.
Or yesterday.
She has not slept with Trump.
Right.
And yet, she extorted money out of him.
Yeah.
Through Michael Cohen.
Yeah.
So, someone is looking into is it a Michael Cohen-Stormy Daniels relationship that they're
scamming Trump on.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure that's a crime.
Or that they scammed him on.
I'm pretty sure that's a crime.
Well, I mean, Michael Cohen, we already know he's a liar because he went to jail for lying.
So, I'm actually kind of waiting for him to get on the stand.
Oh, this is a fucking disaster.
And the Georgia.
Is it the Georgia one?
No, no.
The documents case.
Oh, that's gone.
That's falling apart.
No, that's done.
No, the Georgia one is falling apart because they're now going forward with the Fannie
Willis disqualification.
Right.
So, they had it on hold, but now they're going forward with it.
But the documents case is done.
Why Jack White?
Or what?
Jack Wright?
No, Jack White.
Is that in jail right now?
I'll never know.
I'll never know.
He said in front of the judge.
Yes.
We brought documents.
Yeah.
And we staged the scene to take pictures.
Right.
They put the top secret folders themselves.
So, that would be a crime.
Yeah.
And he's not in jail.
Right.
Okay.
Well, they don't ever go to jail for that.
Well, the Democrats don't.
Republicans do.
Yeah, yeah.
You can't.
Dude, prosecutors, they get away with fucking everything.
Like, you will never see one of those go to jail.
Because, like, even if it's like the worst.
Mm.
Same thing.
There's always.
Yeah.
But.
Give them the���.
I don't care if they did.
Give them theer years continue the same stuff this afternoon to give justice and
theirজg!", and I know that they still will.
As long as the look.
Don't look at people her ISO data are from.
You don't think that it will happen, right?
Boo mood is legal.
True.
And when Fox you do, that's that is the power.
Right?
You don't have to think of them.
Don't you think they came in class agents?
Yeah.
They certainly, the Colombian president or Facebook.
What about the enforced Tjaher услов��оз perché you want to post policies without actual nudges.
That government's got to sleep every single day.
you what, the prosecutor doesn't want to enforce it, they don't enforce it.
Which comes down to the crime rate, which we talked about last week, where they're just
not reporting the crime, to make America look like we're not in crime.
The most crime we've ever had in this country right now.
But yet cop cars are flying around and people are not being arrested, apparently.
Oh, lordy.
But no, I still believe that the New York case has issues on the charges.
Well, it does, but it has nothing to do with federal charges.
No, I guess, okay, I guess I'm going to have to dig deep into this, because it's one of
those things I've kind of touched on, but I've touched on it twice now, and you've called
me out on it, so next week I'm going to have to...
It's going to come down to, well, apparently the judge in that case isn't hearing any sensible
anyway, so like...
The judge in the case...
Sorry.
So he got mad at Trump's lawyers for not objecting when Stormy Daniels was off their fucking
mind.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he also overruled all of their objections, so like...
Yeah, but he wanted them to object because she was saying so much crazy shit.
Yeah, well, let her say it.
And the prosecutors were like, keep talking.
Yeah.
We're not going to...
Because even Trump was like, hey, hey, hey, because he's elbowing them, and CNN's like,
Trump got violent with his attorneys in court today.
No, the attorneys were like, just keep talking batshit crazy, we're good.
Yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, then have you heard about the lady who draws the pictures?
The lady who draws the pictures in court?
Yes.
I don't know all these fancy words, but...
The sketch artist.
The blonde Elvis?
You heard this term?
No.
Trump goes, no, I love this lady because she draws me like the blonde Elvis.
So you have to...
I mean, yeah, it's crazy.
I saw the pictures.
They do look pretty nuts.
But did you see the picture of Stormy Daniels drawn by her?
Yeah.
Oh, dear God, it was horrible.
Yeah.
So I'm surprised she's still allowed to draw pictures.
But keep at it because they're entertaining as shit.
They need to televise these things.
I mean, this is stupid.
They don't have...
We have a right to a public trial.
I believe Trump wanted it televised.
Of course.
And the judge said no.
Right.
There shouldn't be an option.
Like...
Yeah.
It's a public trial.
It's a public building.
It's paid for by public employees.
We should see the shit show.
Yeah.
I mean, we've got to watch the whole OJ thing that lasted...
How long did the OJ trial last?
Two weeks or something.
Oh, buddy, that's longer than that.
Yeah, probably longer.
Yeah, who knows?
I was young.
Who knows?
But yeah, no, the Jack Ryan...
Jack Ryan...
Jack Ryan...
I think Jack Ryan's a...
He was a politician in Illinois.
Jack White should go to jail, though.
I mean, for staging...
For admitting in front of a judge that he staged these photos...
Yeah, but they...
No, it's wrong.
There's a funny video on YouTube.
There's this guy.
He has a channel.
He's called the DUI guy.
And, like, he's a DUI lawyer, right?
I may have watched one of those videos.
And there's...
One of his biggest videos is he's got the cop on the stand.
Yeah.
And he's saying,
So...
You caught the defendant with an open container.
Yeah.
Yes.
And what did you do with the open container?
Well, I poured it out.
I'm sorry.
Could you repeat that?
I destroyed evidence.
You destroyed evidence, which is a felony.
And you want us to believe that there was alcohol in that container that you destroyed
and you don't have here with you today.
I guess.
Okay.
And, okay.
I rest my case.
So, I...
I'm pretty sure it's the same lawyer.
He had another cop on the stand.
And the cop goes,
Well, why did you give him a DUI test?
Yeah.
Because I smelled alcohol.
Yeah.
And the lawyer goes,
Well, you know alcohol doesn't smell.
Pure alcohol does not smell.
Right.
It's the flavor in the alcohol that gives it the smell.
Yeah.
So, I mean, was it beer?
Was it whiskey?
Yeah.
I mean, you don't even know what it was.
Yeah.
Because you smelled alcohol, which doesn't exist.
And even the prosecutor had come up afterwards and go,
Did you smell beer?
The cop's like, Yes.
Yeah.
But, I mean, that should have been...
It's already too late.
Yeah.
That should have been done.
It should have been in the report.
Yeah.
But the point is, right, we have a cop on the stand
admitting to a felony destroying evidence
and they don't go after him.
They don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
Well, I do like some attorneys when they get creative.
It is entertaining.
Well, DUI guy's really good.
I'm pretty sure he's a libertarian.
Check him out on YouTube.
Yeah.
I just saw, it said,
Defense attorney destroys cop on stand.
It might have been the same guy.
And that's the video I watched.
He's got a whole fucking giant...
Yeah.
This guy is like, well, he goes,
Alcohol doesn't have any odor.
And you would have learned that if you went to DUI school.
The cop goes, Well, I did go to DUI school.
He goes, Oh, what year did you go?
Yeah.
And the guy goes, 2010.
Oh, so you went to the 2003 version of DUI school.
You didn't go to the 2013,
which would have said, Alcohol doesn't smell.
So how do you smell alcohol?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like, okay, that's pretty tricky.
I like that.
Anything to get one over on the man.
Well, so that's why,
and that's why it's important to shut the fuck up
when you're talking to cops.
Because you don't know these things.
And, you know, if you just say,
Yeah, I had a couple beers.
Well, guilty.
Yep.
You admit a guilt.
And you're on camera.
Yeah.
So just shut the fuck up.
Let your lawyer do the talking.
And some of them are really good.
Yep.
But I also don't want to give people advice
on how to get out of a DUI either, though.
Well.
Because don't drink and drive.
Obviously don't drink and drive.
But, you know, I've seen other videos
where this college kid, right,
he was obviously not drunk.
He doesn't do drugs.
He's on the football team.
Yeah.
And he blew a zero.
And they still arrested him for DUI.
And I think he actually got a settlement out of it.
Good.
Because when cops are wrong,
you need to go after them.
They should lose their qualified immunity
when they break the law.
Which they do.
Qualified immunity is touchable
if they violate the law.
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
If you have the right lawyer.
If you're wealthy enough
to have a good lawyer,
you can hire the right lawyer
to do the right thing.
So.
All right.
What's my next topic?
So, it's very possible
there proof is now out there
that Trump did win in 2020.
What?
Yep.
So, in Milwaukee,
they just fired the election director
for Milwaukee.
And it's suspected that her and her staff,
prior to the 2020 election,
filled out over 650,000 ballots
in their offices.
In their offices.
What?
Yeah.
How can you even do that?
That doesn't make sense.
Because they're Democrats.
Yeah, but that's 600,000.
That's a lot of ballots.
Well, they needed a lot
to overcome.
How do you not notice
something like that?
We did not notice what, though?
The whole office was in on it.
It's a Democrat city
controlled by Democrat politicians
that wanted the Democrat to win.
Yeah, but 600,000.
I mean, like, think about that.
Wisconsin is not that big of a state.
True.
And if you look at the number
of the difference
between what Biden won with
and what Trump won with,
600,000.
600,000.
600,000.
600,000.
650,000 would have easily
gave Trump the victory
in Wisconsin.
Well, I do know that
Wisconsin is one of the ones
where, like,
a shitload of precincts
had over 90%.
Like, Wisconsin and Michigan
both had this.
Where you had, like,
over 95% reporting.
In 2020?
Yeah.
What about 2016?
What about 2014?
I know you don't know.
No, no, I actually did go back
and look at numbers
for various counties in 2016.
But I don't know.
I don't have that data.
I don't have it.
Well, I have it,
but I don't have it on hand.
I don't expect you to recall that.
I mean, it's something
we can talk about later on.
If people, hey,
if you express an interest
as knowing more about this,
we'll look it up.
We'll talk about it.
Just let us know in the comments.
It's all public.
So, a lot of counties
use the same software
to have, like, their votes
on their website.
Right.
And you just download a CSV
or an XML file.
And I can load it into software
and just do all the tallying myself.
Yeah.
So, like I said,
a lot of counties in Wisconsin
and Michigan,
had over 95%,
which that's fucking unheard of.
Nobody, it never cracks 80.
I mean, who the fuck votes?
Nobody votes.
So, that's just one state.
And that would not overturn
the Electoral College.
You could have won the victory.
Right.
So, what about the case
in Georgia right now?
So, a judge is overseeing
a court hearing of
validating the recount ballots.
Okay.
The reason I say that,
that's important that I said that.
I said that way.
She goes,
oh, there's over 300,000
digital images missing
from the votes.
Right.
And somebody else says,
oh, no, no, Your Honor,
I'm sorry,
you had only requested
that the recall ballots
get talked about.
We're not talking about
the actual election.
And she's like,
well, what's the difference?
Yeah.
And they're like,
well, you know,
they tried to do this answer
and it just didn't line up.
So, you look,
also now looking at Georgia,
I mean, seriously,
seriously,
Georgia did not go blue.
Well, okay,
so regardless of any of this shit,
it's too late.
Like, Biden's already had
his three and a half years.
What do we do?
And in all honesty,
this goes back even further
when people kept saying
that Obama was not born
in the United States.
And I'm just like,
you know what?
Cut it the fuck loose.
It's over.
He's the president.
Let it go.
What do you do at this point?
And that's fine.
I get it.
What do you do?
Will you prepare for it next time?
I mean,
well, okay,
so the birth certificate thing
is a lot different, right?
Because he hadn't been president yet.
They're saying,
hey, where's the president?
No, while he was president,
they were still going
after the birther thing.
Well, I understand it kept going,
but this was an issue
before he was even president.
But you're not required
to show your birth certificate
to run for president.
Who says who?
You're not required.
Says who?
The law.
The law doesn't say that.
The law says
to qualify to be president,
you must be a natural born citizen.
Right, but you don't have to prove it.
Who says?
Well, he didn't.
Well, why did we let him
get away with that?
Because the Supreme Court ruled
and said,
because it went all the way
to the Supreme Court.
I think we talked about this before.
They go,
we're not going to mandate
that he shows it,
but we don't want to say
why he won't.
Well, fuck them.
But yet, when Trump asked for it,
he showed it,
but again,
I think that was hackers,
but that's a,
listen to like a week or two ago
on that one.
But the point is,
is, I mean,
you can't,
we're already a kangaroo court.
We're a shit show of a country
right now.
So,
if they cheated,
I guess good for them.
Carry out your four years,
but you have to know
what happened four years ago,
or technically three years ago,
to be able to prevent it
from happening again.
I don't know, man.
Like, if...
So, you got two states...
I mean, that's like saying,
like, you've already handed out
the gold medal
and done the closing ceremony.
Oh, but Lance Armstrong cheated.
Like, well,
it doesn't matter.
He got the medal.
No, he did.
And they took his medals away.
But they can't take his medals away.
They did.
They took Lance Armstrong's medals away.
He voluntarily gave the medals back.
Oh.
Because they can't take
the medals away.
What are they going to do?
Well, yeah,
they're not going to knock on his door
and shake him out of them.
That's my point.
But the record of him winning the...
What does that mean?
Everybody, like,
if you watch those Olympics,
right,
you can't erase the cheering you did,
the memories you formed.
You can't erase that.
It's all there.
But there's an asterisk
to everybody who looks up at history.
Well, who gives a fuck?
That means nothing.
All right.
Fix it.
Fix it when you...
So, let's say,
Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada
proved that there was voter fraud.
Yeah.
Now.
Right.
Like, today.
Right.
Or next week.
Right.
So, does Trump go in and take over?
I don't think so.
You've got to let it carry out.
Well, you know what would be funny
is if they magically proved
all this voter fraud
Yeah.
like a day before the election
or a day before
the next inauguration
Yeah.
and said,
you know what?
We fucked up.
We cheated.
You actually won.
Okay, you're the president now.
And then tomorrow happens,
oh, Trump had your two terms.
Goodbye, Trump.
What if he did that?
I think terms is measured in...
I don't know, man.
You know what?
We got to delete that section.
Why?
Because if the Democrats hear that,
that's what they're going to do.
I think you don't think
they already have this in mind?
Like, they know.
Oh, shit.
What they have in mind is crazy.
No, I mean, they just...
So, the Democrats tried passing a bill
through the House
and it failed in the House
because they did not have the votes.
Yeah.
Which goes back to Johnson.
He obviously backed up.
His Republican side,
not his Democrat side
because he's got two.
And it said that
they wanted illegals
to have representation in Congress
and to have representation
in the Electoral College.
They do.
They always did.
Illegal aliens have that.
Yeah, they always did.
In what way?
Well, the Constitution says
that the number of representatives
and electors
is based on the number of people
living there.
So, that's funny
because that's a separate law
that actually passed...
No, that's the Constitution.
No, no.
There's another law
that passed Congress
that's honest word to the Senate
that...
Because it's passed in Congress as well
that says illegals cannot be counted
in the census.
And that passed Congress,
it's going to die in the Senate.
We all know it is.
Because even if they do a 50-50 split,
the cackling hyena is going to come in
and you know how she's going to rule.
Well, I mean, so...
Do you know the reason why it is that way
in the Constitution?
I've actually heard the explanation
and that's why it's never been.
It's a big issue with me
because you're right.
The number of people
with feet on the ground,
not boots,
because it would be something else,
they should be represented.
And that I agree with.
Well, it's not just that.
It's that the founders
had no concept of illegal immigration.
True.
That's just nonsense.
Like, the federal government
has no constitutional authority
to restrict immigration
in any way whatsoever.
It's not in the Constitution.
They can't.
So, you do know
the forefathers were against
illegal immigration, though.
No, they weren't.
Oh, yes, they were.
There was no such thing.
Oh.
Oh.
They had no such concept.
Yes, they did.
If you read the Declaration of Independence,
one of the grievances
against King George
was laws against immigration.
Thomas Jefferson
or was it Ben Franklin?
See, you already don't know.
It's not something
that I sit there
like having
at the top of my brain
like every day of my life.
They had no concept
of illegal immigration.
This is the top of my brain.
No, they did.
Because we can discuss this next week.
It was either Thomas Jefferson
or Benjamin Franklin
said if you allow people
to migrate in
from other countries,
they can actually change
the makeup of this country,
which is kind of
what we're going through
right now.
So, but the forefathers
did address this
and they were not
for illegal immigration.
No.
Oh, Jesus.
I don't doubt
that they discussed it.
Oh, but so they were aware of it.
They were aware of that idea.
Okay, okay.
So you were wrong.
You said they weren't aware of it.
They were aware of the idea
that you're saying
and they decided that,
you know what,
we're still going to
not have the government
have this power.
Oh.
Because they don't have it.
If you read the Constitution,
it says that the feds
can only do
what the Constitution said.
That's the tenth amendment, right?
Right.
And the Constitution
nowhere says
they can restrict immigration.
Therefore, they can't.
Oh, I don't have time
to look this up.
I will look it up.
We'll discuss it next week.
Because this is,
no, it's not winner.
Because you just
spotted off some words
you did not cite
any source at all.
The Constitution!
The Constitution
of the United States of America.
Which one?
What do you mean, which one?
The one that's currently in effect.
No.
Oh, not the other Constitution
that we're ignoring.
Not the one that
Nicholas Cage stole.
So they're not numbered
or anything.
Like, there's not 10
that are called
the Bill of Rights.
What does it mean
to be the Bill of Rights?
No, there's a Constitution.
Right.
The Constitution
of the United States
is what?
Is a document.
Okay.
Which says?
Well, it says
one thing that
the federal government
cannot do
something that
it has not explicitly
been granted
the ability to do.
So it's just
in the middle of a paragraph
with no other...
No, that's the 10th Amendment.
Oh, oh!
Oh, that's the 10th Amendment.
Yes.
So there's 10 of them.
Well, there's 27.
No, no, no, no.
Of the Bill of Rights.
Well, this is an arbitrary...
It's the first 10 that passed.
Okay, so they are numbered.
Yes.
Okay.
That's all I was saying.
So what?
Well, no, because I'm trying
to narrow this down a little bit.
Okay, the 10th Amendment says
the federal government
cannot...
It has no power
unless explicitly granted.
And then,
nowhere in the Constitution
you read the whole thing
it doesn't say
they can restrict immigration.
Therefore,
they don't have that power.
But they had spoke about it before,
but are we following the 10th Amendment?
Right, because they debated it.
Right.
And some said,
well, we should probably
restrict immigration a little bit.
And others said,
no, we're not going to do that.
And those guys won.
Do we follow the 10th Amendment?
Well, obviously we don't.
Okay.
We just want to make sure
we're on some...
We have some cohesiveness here.
Because...
We don't follow any of the amendments
except for the third.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
The Bill of Rights amendments.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
And then all the other ones
that they created.
That man created
after their forefathers.
Okay.
Well, that went a little sideways.
It's been kind of fun.
But I will look up
because I've done some research
on this in the past.
And they said that
they wanted America
to be a melting pot
and not to bring in
like a bunch of mass migration
from one particular country
because that would change
the way people vote
and could change
our country as a whole.
So the federal government
does have the power
of naturalization.
Right.
Which means granting citizenship.
Right.
So,
like,
the idea was
anybody can come
and work and live
and be productive.
And if you want to vote,
you have to apply
for naturalization.
And that's when
the federal government
has jurisdiction.
Constitutionally.
Okay.
I'll look it up a little bit better
to clarify that a little bit.
We'll talk about this again.
But all that being said,
the Statue of Liberty.
Uh-huh.
You know what it says
at the bottom, right?
Yeah.
That came in the 1800s, though.
But was it a joke
from France?
No.
Since you're weak,
you're weary.
I don't think so.
Oh, I think it's
a fucking huge joke.
It's just like
an inspirational poem thing,
I think.
Oh, no, no.
I think it's a huge joke
from France.
They're like,
oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
They were,
oh, monsieur.
Mmm,
have some stinky cheese.
Let's send the Americans
a concrete statue
that says,
oh, you're weak and weary.
Well, do you know
what Italy sent us
in Chicago?
What's that?
So, you don't know this?
No, I don't.
Behind Soldier Field,
there's a Roman column
that was sent to us
by Italy in the 1920s.
Okay.
Now, do you remember
who the leader of Italy
was in the 1920s?
Absolutely not.
Take a guess.
I don't know.
I don't worry
about other countries.
It started with an M.
I think I know the name,
but because of my speech,
I can't bring it out.
All right.
I'll know it
when you say it.
It's Mussolini.
Mussolini, yeah.
Okay, so he sent us
this Roman column,
the city of Chicago,
not USA.
Okay.
And it has an inscription
on it that says,
like, in the year 1922,
may fascism live on forever
and all this crazy shit.
And it's there.
And we are right.
I know.
I think they actually
took it away
during 2020
because, like, you know,
it's not politically
correct anymore.
But it was like,
I went and saw it
before he left
because I lived right there.
And like, yeah, it's there.
It's just there's no signs
or anything.
You have to know where it is.
Well, in Seattle,
they have a big statue.
I believe it's
a private property.
Yeah.
The Lenin one.
Yeah.
Like with blood on his hands.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's
but it's kind of
overhangs a sidewalk,
but whatever.
But yeah, it's just
it's weird.
Seattle's weird.
Oh, so more crypto news.
Oh, what's up?
This is this is getting bad, man.
So Kraken,
which is one of the only exchanges
that has Monero on it,
they're going to start
winding down Monero
on their on their exchanges.
So the official price
that you see for Monero,
it comes from all these exchanges.
Right.
So if they're if they're not
on any exchanges anymore,
like the Monero price
suddenly has to really reflect
its true value.
Because these places
can actually fuck with it.
Okay.
They can lie.
Right.
They can manipulate.
They can short sell.
So this will be interesting
going forward
when prices are actually natural.
So will they go up or down?
I honestly don't even know.
Like, I don't even know
how you would tell.
Right.
Because you only have
the street market price.
Oh, yeah.
How would you tell?
Okay.
And the other thing
on the Monero show,
I mentioned local Monero
as a way to get Monero.
Yeah.
Well, they're actually
shutting down, too.
Really?
Yeah.
So like,
it's getting rough out there
for privacy.
So if you want your Monero,
we give away Monero all the time.
I guess now's a great time.
This is.
Yeah, you're going to have to get in there.
To announce the new Monero giveaway.
So Dave's been giving me shit
because I don't ever come up
with any way to give away Monero
because it's really not my thing.
But I thought about it over the week.
But before you go into it.
Oh.
I want to say that
nobody won last week's challenge again.
Bunch of slackers.
Come on, guys.
Get in the challenge.
I'm giving you
easy fucking scores here.
So this one should be easy
because it happens all the time.
And all you have to do is give us
the time of the day of the video footage
of President Biden shitting his pants.
So the reason I came up with this,
there's a video from a couple of days ago.
Having his evil, evil, evil wife,
Dr. Jill Biden,
we're walking to the helicopter
or airplane or I don't know.
And I don't think he knew either.
So it's not my fault.
He stopped walking.
He had his legs spread apart just enough.
And then they zoomed in on his face.
And let's just say we think there
was a surprise in the diaper.
I am not looking for evidence of like the Secret Service,
you know, changing his diaper,
wiping his ass or anything.
Now the face, the face is good enough.
Just say he shit his pants.
We'll go on.
We'll verify it.
I mean, we're going to give it to you
because he shits his pants a lot.
And just so you know,
I am not making fun of old people shitting their pants
because young people do it too.
It happens.
I'm not going to get into that.
But the fact that,
and I blame Jill Biden for all this shit
because I told my wife,
I mean, if I ever got that old and that,
you know, out of my mind,
don't let me do podcasts.
I mean, she tried to stop me from doing these podcasts,
but I'm not quite there yet.
He is the leader of our country.
This shit needs to,
that's kind of funny.
This needs to stop.
I mean, at this point,
I'm not a fan of Harris,
but step down and let Harris take over.
Let that cackling hyena take over.
But it's bad.
And this is not something that we're just seeing.
The entire world is seeing this.
We have no authority in this world whatsoever.
Kind of like, oh yeah.
So, so yeah.
So time and date of the video.
And it has to be from the upcoming week.
It's gotta be the face.
Yeah.
It cannot be last week's.
I already got that one tagged.
So did you hear,
I'm going to segue into this.
We had a peace agreement with Hamas.
Okay.
So a bunch of people agreed not to fire rockets
and kill each other anymore.
Israel was not involved in it.
Really?
Yeah. But we agreed.
We all agreed that Israel needs to stop.
Oh.
Israel responded by launching rockets.
Oh yeah.
Which they should have.
Well, I assume all the college kids went home though, right?
Cause we all agreed.
Well, they're very hungry right now.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
They're doing it again.
We're starving.
Send us food.
This is not fair.
It's like, what?
Go home.
I know.
It's like, you're not a hostage.
Go.
It's like the immigrants in Denver.
They wanted them moved out of this particular park.
Yeah.
And they're like, no, we're not going.
Oh no, I'm sorry.
It's on private property.
Cause it's on the railroad property.
So railroad property is private property
and they're refusing to leave.
So Denver decided to negotiate with them
and gave into all the negotiations,
which were unlimited hot showers.
So I don't know if a bunch of 12 year olds are in there
going hot shower and some time alone or what,
but it's like a food, but it's gotta be healthy food.
We don't want the police monitoring our behavior.
There's just a litany of this insane demands
that Denver's is like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just leave, get off the public property.
It's private property.
You're making us look bad.
So, I mean, it's, this is getting out of control.
People, if you're going to take over a country
or you're going to take over, bring your own fucking food.
Jesus Christ, bring some water, bring some food.
They have that little backpack, the camel backpack.
It's full of water, you know, bring those with you.
Jeez, learn how to break into a vending machine or something.
Stop coming in and go, you're starving us out.
You're not the fucking American Indians on top of the,
oh, Starved Rock.
What was the name of that hill?
So you know what Starved Rock was named after.
And Starved Rock is a state park in Illinois.
And that's where, you know, you're going to get a little bit of water.
You're going to get a little bit of water.
You're going to get a little bit of water.
You're going to get a little bit of water.
And that's where the American soldiers surrounded a bunch of American Indians
at the top of the hill and starved them out.
Not getting into that.
It's a whole other argument.
But that's kind of what's going on now.
But guess what?
These people can leave.
And they can go back to their mommy and daddy.
And they can get the PB&J with the crust cut off.
Because you know, crust is a little bit rough to chew with the gums and stuff.
You know, when you're so quick.
You're both cereal.
You're both cereal.
When I say cereal, you say eat it for fucking dinner, you shitheads.
It's nutritional and it'll kill you in the long run.
So eat it.
Speaking of railroads, I had a package coming in.
OK.
And I get an alert from UPS.
And it said, your package has been delayed because of a rail derailment.
Really?
What the fuck?
I've never seen a notice like this before.
So I go look it up.
And I figure the route it was taking.
And I found a news story about a train derailing in Arizona
near the New Mexico border.
And like.
The train just fucking blew up.
Because it was carrying propane tanks or something.
OK.
And it just like blew up.
And I guess.
That's reasonable.
My shit was on a different car because it got there safe a couple days later.
Was it charred in any way?
No.
Hmm.
But like, you know, we had the East Palestine, Ohio disaster.
And then there was a bunch of others.
Yeah.
And then they kind of just stopped talking about it.
Stopped the news.
Stopped reporting on them.
Well, this was a giant fucking train that blew up.
And nobody said anything about it.
Why wasn't that in the news?
I would think it should be.
Well, I mean, those Pittsburgh barges that got released.
They went floating down the river.
Yeah.
And like nobody got hurt somehow.
But.
But a train blew up.
A train blew up.
I mean, that's interesting news to me.
That's huge.
Where's the news story?
They say propane.
So was it like a propane car?
I think so.
Aren't those like regulated so they don't blow up?
Yeah, well, sometimes they blow up.
Wow.
So again, the media is not telling us everything we need to know.
The government's lying to us.
Yeah, I found some like local fucking bumfuck Arizona newspaper that wrote about it.
So not really a political story, but just one that makes me laugh.
So there's a zoo in China that didn't have any panda bears.
I saw that.
They painted dogs.
They painted dogs.
Yeah, China just kind of doesn't give a fuck.
They do all sorts of shit like that where I saw one where a guy was walking down the street, and he lifted up the grass.
And he lifted up the grass.
And he lifted up the grass.
And then he had to break a crate to a storm drain and there was just nothing there.
Really?
Yeah.
So they put storm drains over nothing.
So it's like that movie, oh, the Jim Carrey movie where he lived in a bubble and everybody else they were actors?
Oh, Truman Show.
Yeah, the Truman Show.
Yeah, I just watched that the other day actually.
Yeah, I mean that's what they do in China.
Huh, interesting.
A lot of it's fake.
I'm pretty much done with most of...
Oh no, what the hell am I talking about?
Yeah.
Oh geez.
back to Senator Johnson real quick. He did come
out publicly and say he wants all charges
against Trump dismissed. Oh, yeah.
Now, I don't have any follow-up on that, but he did
say it, so that kind of goes back to the fact
that I think there is a little bit of
things going on. He has
no power to do that. I mean, what does that mean?
He's the Speaker of the House, so I mean, there's...
Well, no, I mean, no, he could... They have the
purse strings right now. They could start going...
These are all state charges. They can't
do anything. They're not all state charges.
They're all state charges. New York, Georgia...
What about the federal prosecutor that just
popped up? Well, okay, the document case, but that's done.
No, no, no, no. The federal prosecutor,
I believe that popped up in New York
to help out Alan Bragg.
He left a high-paying job as a federal prosecutor
to aid in the
conviction of Trump.
So, I guess, if you're
undecided... Okay, I'm not going to tell you who to vote
for. I don't care who you vote for, but if you're
undecided right now, please
message us and let us know
why you're undecided and also message
us your address so we can
hit you in the fucking head with a hammer.
Because I don't care.
If you want to vote Kennedy, vote the guy
who was braggated by a worm.
I don't care.
Did you hear about that?
He, I mean,
okay, I'm running for president.
There's stories I want to get out and stories I don't
want to get out. Well, he also said
he said, I'll put
five more worms in my brain and then
debate you guys and still win.
Okay, you know what? I wonder if he did it
just for that tagline.
He's like,
if I set him up, I'll say this,
they'll respond to me, and then I'm going to
nail him with this.
Although I did like,
I don't like mentioning names
that people who aren't here, but there is one
particular gentleman who should have been here
tonight so we can discuss a few things.
Call me out there, dude. Anytime
you want to show up, show up. But I did like
his point. He made a valid
point with Trump and Kennedy. Those two
should just start going on the campaign
trail separately, but then debating each
other like Biden doesn't even exist.
Not even mention Biden. Just forget he
exists. Well, that's kind of what we're doing
with the LP. Yes, you are. True.
Like, we're the ones starting this shit.
It's like, this is crazy. I love it.
If they carry that out, that
would be genius. It's like, don't
even mention it. Right, right. Biden doesn't exist.
People are like, oh, they're going to watch the debate
and watch Trump go off on Biden, and they're
just like, oh, talk about shit in his pants.
Talk about this. Wait, he never brought
Biden up. What? Who's Biden? I know, who's Biden?
I mean, it's really genius.
It was a really, it's a,
I would love to see it. So, Trump, I know
you're listening, because, you know, I mean, we're, you know,
we're there with each other.
Just do it. Hook up with Kennedy,
do your debates, and forget about
Biden, because we all hopefully
will be in the very, very near future.
Jesus. Because now
if you,
the girl that he molested
that lives in Russia now,
Tara Reid.
Allegedly.
Allegedly. I sort of don't really
know, but I'm pretty damn sure it happened.
That kind of thing.
Tucker interviewed her,
and I think that video just dropped.
She's in Russia,
because she's, literally, they will charge
her if she comes back.
And
was it, what's that guy's, Gates?
Matt Gates. Matt Gates, yeah.
It's a weird spelling, the word Gates.
G-A-T-S.
He said, he goes, I can't
protect you. Do not come back to America, because
they will arrest you. I think he might be
coming to the convention, too. Really?
I saw a tweet, but I didn't
click into it, but I saw his name.
So he might be there.
Vivek's going to be there. This is fucking amazing.
This is sort of a really cool thing.
I'm going for free as a delegate.
No, no, no. I know, but what's cool
about this, though, is literally the media
has to show libertarians
not stoned and
walk around in a circle looking for their Twinkies.
Yeah, yeah. And there's another thing I want to address.
So, like,
on this show, I labeled it as
an agorist show, where
agorism is kind of, you know,
just ignore the government, do your thing,
and we advance liberty that way.
Right.
Someone was giving me shit the other day.
Well, you guys call yourself
agorists, but you're also
running for the LP and talking about
the LP and blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, I didn't really
get into it, because it's Twitter, right? I only got 140
characters. But, like,
the way I look at it is
I'm not in the LP to
get elected and pass law.
And do it
from within and all this stupid shit.
If I win, I'm going to
end the Fed, if I can. But
that's not my goal. My goal
is to spread the message of liberty.
True. Right? So, and
the LP is a free
platform with
ballot access to be able to do that.
Yeah. So what's this guy think? We're supposed to
sit back and just bitch and do nothing?
I mean, I've been very clear. If you listen to the fucking
podcast, I've been extremely clear.
I want to be an obstructionist.
I'm going to be the biggest turd in the punch bowl.
And that's what I want to do.
What a lot of people will say is just ignore
politics entirely and just
go create alternative economies.
But, like, politics
ain't ignoring you. Right. I had a
shitty neighbor one time. I tried ignoring that neighbor.
The neighbor didn't go away.
They were still a shitty fucking neighbor. And the other thing is,
like I said,
it's a platform, right? Yeah.
Like, I'm not doing this to get
elected and represent
you and
pass the laws that you think are good
or that I think are good.
I'm doing this to spread the message, right? So if I have
a microphone, I'm going to use that
microphone. Well, no, I think we actually discussed
this if that guy would listen to the show
before insulting us. I told him.
Which I don't really care if he listens or not.
Fucking shut up. But we talked about this
last time because I made up the mention that
as a libertarian, how do you pass
a law that's good for people? And you're like, well, you
don't. Right. You just get rid of
the bad laws. Right. And I think that's probably
the best way to look at that. If somebody
has to go in and clean this shit up.
Well, I mean, that's my second priority.
The first priority is getting the
message out. Because they're, I mean,
I hear this all the time
where someone says, well,
libertarian, what's that? I mean, like, 2024
you don't know what a libertarian is, but they're
out there. So like, and you
tell them, if you explain it to them, they're like, oh my god,
that's awesome. I didn't even know that
there was such a thing. Right.
I mean, I've actually said I'm a libertarian. Oh, so
you're a liberal, right? Go,
no, not
even close.
I mean, yeah, there's some few similar
squiggly lines that match up
in those two words at the beginning, but it
goes all the way back to the
part after that. But it's like, they
did, so they did a survey
back in like 2018
or 2019, and they were
talking to millennials. And they were just kind
of given like the Trump policies
and libertarian politics.
A bunch of just a wide
variety of laws and
philosophies. Yeah. But they
didn't mention whose they were. Right.
And they're just like, oh, I love that. Oh, I love that.
That's great. Why don't we do that? Why don't we do that?
Right. Because you guys don't fucking listen.
Right. It's not Republican
versus Democrat. There's more people out
there.
That's the other thing. I heard this on the radio on the
way back, on my way home.
So there's a petition going out now.
They want it as a sign. First, the most
annoying thing about it is, the first
20 minutes of the radio show, they were
talking about signing this petition.
And I'm like, what petition? Yeah. I mean,
you're a radio show. I just got in my
car. What are you talking about?
And you're going back forever. I don't know why
more people have been signing this petition. Because we
don't know what the fuck it is.
But apparently here in Nevada, we do have
a petition going out for
voter
integrity. Integrity
is that word. Don't even make me. I'm not getting
into this long conversation about my speech again.
But basically, it's voter ID
in Nevada. So we have to have
50,000.
There's a lot of signatures
we have to have in every four of our districts in
Nevada. So if you live in Nevada, track it down.
Go ahead and sign that one. I'm not signing that shit.
Why not? You don't think voter ID?
No, fuck that. I don't think the government should ever
have a database of people. Ever.
For any reason. But they do. Your driver's license.
But they shouldn't. But they do. But they shouldn't.
So suck it up. No. Suck it up,
buttercup. Well, I've got to get rid of that stuff.
Then get rid of it. You're the one running for
assembly. You're the one running for Congress.
Yeah, Congress has no control over Nevada's laws.
I'm the little Nevada guy over here.
You're in the big house. But they have no control
over Nevada's state laws. That's a state law.
No, I'm talking about worldwide. I mean,
in a country.
But there's no federal ID.
Driver's license. No, that's a state thing.
The real ID. That's not
the same thing. It's the real ID. It's a
federal. It's a federal program,
but states issue IDs. States
mandate IDs. But you can't fly
without it. Well,
I'll work on that then.
So it is a federal ID without
saying it's a federal ID. Like the government's
always honest.
Like this whole argument
that, oh, they already database you, so just
have another one. No. Stop having
more. We don't need it. If you can't
handle the votes yourself, go fuck
yourself. Too fucking bad.
By the way, you think they had photo
ID in the early 1800s
when they voted? They had like 12 people.
So what? You know
12 people. So then do it that
way. If you can't do
it that way, too fucking bad.
Make a new state.
Make a new jurisdiction. That's kind of the logic
I use on you right before the show.
Start your own city here in Nevada. What you can
do is select past that and I think 21.
You still have to follow the state laws. No, you don't.
Yes, you do. You're a sovereign citizen.
No, you're not. Come on, man. Be a sovereign citizen.
Yeah, okay. I'll bail you out of jail every time
they arrest you. And by the way, you can only do that in the fucking desert
where there's no water and no roads and no anything.
Oh, you want luxuries now, too.
Yes, of course. So you want the government to provide you
luxuries. No, I want to be able to use the ones
that are already there. Why? That I already paid
for. But they're highly regulated. But I paid for
them. So? So I want to use them.
I paid for them. Oh, I see. They're mine. I'm going to
bitch and yell about them, but I'm going to use them all up.
But they're mine.
Well, actually, I think
most of the parts of the desert, you've got
water underneath the desert. No, not the parts that are
for sale like that, where you can make a city.
Really? Yeah. I've looked it up
because I saw like
20,000 acres for sale.
10 grand. I'm like, ooh, I should buy that.
And then I click on the listing and it's like
No water rights. Like next to
Area 51. No water. No
road. No way to get there.
Yeah, but you could spy on 51.
Big fucking deal.
What's going on?
They'll shoot me. What's going on there? No, if you're
on your own property, you could be like, I'm on
my own property. They'll still shoot me. I know.
Yeah, they didn't shoot Randy Weaver or anything on his own
property? I didn't hear about this one.
Ruby Ridge. Oh, yeah.
I was thinking
there was that protest in front of Area 51.
They're like, let's go protest Area
51. And it was like, yeah, let's go.
The military goes, fuck you. We're a military
base. Do not enter our property.
Yeah.
Oh, and
you figure Ruby Ridge. I also
I so whenever I'm traveling the country,
I would stop at like big events where
I think especially when there was
government overreach involved in and Waco, Texas.
We went to the Branch
Davidian Memorial
site. There's a memorial site set up.
Now, I mean,
David Koresh, whatever, dude. I mean,
right or wrong,
they could have got
him when they went for his daily jog. They
decided to try to raid his house and make
a big fucking scene about it. But because
of that, because of the U.S. government,
overstepping their bounds and
doing what they did to the Branch Davidian,
I now know what abortion by fire
means. And I did never
ever want to know what that meant.
So basically, if you're pregnant and you catch
on fire, you will abort that baby comes shooting
out. That's our government
for you people. Pay
attention. See what happens.
Oh, Jesus.
I went down a couple different roads on that one,
but that's why it's fun to be here.
We have a canary in the cage
every once a week.
Let's see where we go. I think I've got all my
little crazy rantings out.
Mentioned the
Stormy and Michael Cohen.
I think they were having sex. My opinion, it could be
wrong. I think they extorted from
Trump.
I think that's it until I do my little special segment.
Which kind of links into the food
pyramid, which I try to do all that a lot.
But why don't you tell us how to save our ass
with the dark web? No, no, not dark web.
Oh, that's right. You're doing something else.
We're talking about routers today. That's right.
So a router is the device,
that hooks you up to the internet.
So
nowadays, or in the old days,
you would go up by the phone. Remember that?
You would dial up and it would make that weird noise.
And then someone would pick up the phone
and they would kick you off. And then you'd be like,
Mom, I'm on the internet!
But nowadays, it's all broadband.
And
usually the ISP will
give you a device called a router,
which is the interface between you
and the ISP and your home network.
Now, some ISPs,
will let you use your own router.
Right.
And others will say, no, no, you have to use ours.
So if they let you use your own,
you know, you can skip ahead to the next bit.
But first, I'm going to talk about what happens
if they force you to use theirs.
So you still want to get your own router.
And what you want to do is you want to take their router
and turn it and turn on what's called bridge mode.
OK. Bridge mode basically means
everything that comes in, just pass it along.
Everything that comes out,
just pass it along.
So what you do is you hook their router up to the wall.
OK.
And then their router up to your router.
And then your router just goes to the rest of your network.
OK.
And then all the stuff you want to do,
you control on your router.
And then their router is just a transparent bridge.
So you can do stuff on the Internet that that router can't see?
It sees it.
OK.
But the reason they do this is a kind of authentication.
So they put a little tag on the,
their router and if they don't see that tag,
they don't give you Internet.
Okay.
Now, like some of them will
just like put the tag on your router.
It's not a physical tag or anything,
it's just like an identifier that you can look up.
Okay.
Well, yeah, once you put it in Bridge Mode,
you still get the Internet service,
but you can control things through your router.
So, what I really want to talk about
is flashing your router with open source software.
All right.
So, even when you buy a router at the store,
it comes with this garbage ass software.
It has like no features,
it's full of bugs,
it can be fucking hacked the second you turn it on.
Literally every company, it's all dog shit.
Okay. So, what you want to do is you want to get
some of the open source options.
The two big ones are OpenWRT and Fresh Tomato.
I like that one.
I like Fresh Tomato.
It's got kind of a better GUI, better graphics.
It's got nice graph.
It's got nice graphs and charts and all that stuff.
But both are solid options.
Just pick whatever is best for you.
You know, look at the website, look at the features.
Maybe you like a different brand of hardware
that supports one of those over the other.
Okay.
So, you have to look at the compatibility.
But essentially, all you do is you go to the website
of the router software, you download the image they give you
and inside the router controls on your normal router,
there's going to be an option that says flash image.
Okay. Yeah.
And you just upload that image, let it do its thing,
it'll reboot and then it'll come up to the new software.
Oh.
And then from there, you can now do a whole bunch of cool shit
that you couldn't do before.
Really?
I mean, like most routers software by default will let you port forward
and maybe do some bandwidth controls and that's about it.
Okay.
So, the open source ones, they have plug-ins.
So, like there's use cases.
Yeah.
Like user's divine stuff.
Yeah.
Which you can download and add on.
So, if like the default functions aren't there for you,
you can grab a plug-in or you can write your own plug-in.
But they have a lot of functionality out of the box.
So, they'll do things like ad blocking.
So, like a lot of people will do ad blocking on their laptop,
but you'd go on the mobile phone and you still see ads, right?
Because there's no ad blocking.
Right.
But if you do it on the router, now you get no ads at all anywhere.
Other things you can do,
are better parental controls.
So, a lot of people complain,
oh, we need the government to ban porn websites and all this bullshit.
No.
Do this yourself.
It's very simple.
You can do it through your own router, right?
You can put mom and dad's laptop on the porn site
and then little Jimmy's website or laptop can't use the porn website.
It's very fucking easy.
You can set things up like separate networks.
So, you can have the office network versus the home network
versus the IoT network.
Where your fridge and your lamps and all the other bullshit is.
And then you can prevent those things from talking to China, right?
So, you can do all sorts of wonders with this stuff.
You can have custom DNS.
You can run your own VPN.
Okay, I just had a question.
So, the VPN, will that override what you can...
Like, let's say they block porn on your router.
Right.
Will the VPN get past that?
Well, so we're talking about two different things.
Right, that's why I asked.
Yeah.
The VPN on the router is actually a server.
So, you know, right now I'm at your house.
Right.
But if I wanted to connect to my home network, I can do that
because I can log into my VPN.
Yeah.
And then it would be like I'm on my own home network.
Okay.
So, like, if I'm in a hotel or something, I can manage my network.
I can watch my movies.
I can do anything I want as if I was at home.
And I mean, like, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah.
There's tons and tons of things you can do.
And you're safer, right?
These things are all hardened.
They're monitored by various people.
You know, bug reports come in.
They get fixed right away.
It's like we talked about on the open source issue where that XZ thing got infiltrated.
Yeah.
Right?
Bam.
Two days later, someone found it and fixed it.
It's much safer, much more in your control.
I mean, there's no downside.
Yeah.
So, I mean, I think that's a good point.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Take the time.
Learn how it works.
Protect yourself.
Protect yourself.
Yeah.
I mean, because, you know, I mean, look what happened.
So, did you hear what's happening in Canada?
Well, I didn't have a…
No, no.
About what you're talking about.
So, they're going after people's speech on the internet.
Yeah.
And they're willing to…
You might get fined.
Right.
But now they're saying you better go back into all your posts you've ever made.
Oh, the past ones.
Yeah.
And delete them because we will come after you and fine you for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I wanted to make sure you know what's going on.
Yeah.
And they're saying you better go back into all your posts you've ever made.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, it's not going to help you for that.
Well, the router is not going to help you with that but…
No, I know.
But it was just one of those things.
I'm like, seriously Canada, get your shit together.
Let your people be free.
But it will help you in the event that, you know, they start wanting to correct.
So, the other thing you can do, you don't have…
Instead of running your VPN server, you can put your VPN client on the router.
Oh.
So, like a lot of people will do express…
I know we talked about Proton and mullvad and the better options.
Instead of putting that on your laptop, you can put that on your router.
So now, again, your whole network goes through the VPN.
Okay.
So, I mean, are you pro-VPN?
I mean, it depends.
It depends on what your use case is, what you're trying to do.
In general, you should always have some kind of VPN access.
I mean, does it...
And then know when to use it.
Does it really work, though?
I mean, is it...
Well, for what?
That's the whole point.
Well, that's the thing.
If you want to hide your...
Track your history or your searches...
Well, who are you hiding and tracking from?
Probably, I mean, I guess the government, for lack of a better term.
No, it's not going to help from that.
I mean, will they...
They might see your searches...
No, they're not going to see it in real time, but they're going to say,
oh, he's on the VPN.
Go send a warrant to the VPN company.
And then the VPN company will just...
Yes.
Like, they're pretty safe just giving up to the government?
Yes.
And then they'll...
Okay, so it's...
In general, yeah.
Yes.
So it's a small safety net.
Yeah, it's not...
It's probably not going to work in the operation.
Again, you have to know what you're trying to protect against.
So your ISP can see everything you do by default.
Right.
Now, the VPN will protect against that.
Okay.
You know, there's things like Netflix won't show you a movie unless you're in Spain.
Well, you can trick them and make them think you're in Spain.
No, Netflix shut me down on that.
I wanted to watch a movie and it was only on the...
It was a foreign country version.
So I used to go by VPN.
Yeah.
And I changed my IP address to that country.
Yeah.
And the login tree came up.
Yeah.
I entered my login information and then it just shut me down and said,
like, something wasn't right here.
Yeah, I'm sure they're getting wise to that.
But the VPN companies, like, they are always moving around, changing their IPs.
So, like, you know, it's an arms race.
Okay.
Yeah, because I use the VPN, I mean, quite a bit for, like, certain things.
Right.
But running the VPN server...
Yeah.
...is more of a way to manage your own network when you're out.
Now, can you run your own VPN server?
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
So it's just off your router?
Yes.
I mean, you can do it.
You don't have to do it on the router.
You can do it on one of those single board PCs I was showing.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
But the Fresh Tomato, I know, does have it in the router software.
So, since we're not sponsored by any VPN company yet, I'm sure they're trying to contact us right now.
It's in the junk mail, right?
Yeah.
What is the best VPN to use that is the ones that will stay with the federal government until the subpoena comes?
Probably the best one out there is called mullvad.
They'll take Monero payments, and you don't even need an account.
So, like, you say, I want a VPN account, and they'll just give you a random number and say, okay, pass this Monero.
And when you log in, just use this random number.
You don't need an email.
You don't need a name.
You don't need an address.
Nothing.
So, if you pay the Monero, you have a VPN.
So, are they tracking...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
And they look at that number.
Well, I mean, they're the most trustworthy ones so far.
I mean, I get it.
I mean, not that I ever, ever want to compliment Apple, but Apple did stand up to the federal
government when they said, give us the backdoor to the iPhone.
They said no.
So, if the companies are in the U.S., they're just fucked.
And, like, there's, like, they call it the seven eyes.
Yeah.
There's seven countries where, if you have offices, you're doing the best you can.
you're doing what they tell you so you want to look for a vpn company that isn't in any of those
countries so i think i don't want to protons in switzerland i know i know that much i don't know
where mulvan is headquartered but they're out of the seven eyes switzerland though has been kind of
goofy with their bank accounts they've been they've been turning over everything well i know
but but they've been working with the united states government yeah they've turned over
information so would they with the vpn though i guess not yet sweden government made the
case so basically if the us government says you're going to do this they're going to do it and they
haven't said they haven't gone that far yet they have for banks they haven't for vpn okay yeah
because i mean i'd like the privacy of the vpn i think that's kind of cool but i also realize that
don't do anything stupid i know i mean yeah use the dark web for
but i can't post on x on the dark web i can't be a shit poster
well so all right no that's some great advice i kind of like that um anything else with that
i know i think that's about it okay so basically what i want to talk about today is basically
uh how to survive inflation um i think if you heard dave you listen to dave and believe what
dave says um inflation's here for a while um you know trump won't even be able to fix it i i don't
know um it's it's very possible so you want to start retraining yourself
on how you spend your money um and what you do with it and and where ways to save when you can
save you know there's there's car maintenance tips that save you they'll give you extra couple extra
miles per gallon sounds stupid but if gas prices are five dollars a gallon maybe six or seven eight
dollars coming up who knows maybe that proper air inflation of your tires or changing the air
filter in your car that extra miles might actually be beneficial because we don't know what's coming
next i just wanted to żeby it out that's all the kind of things i could say so for me is
it just really is that every day of this month it'sチーム just gives you a new chance to get

not a Trump supporter, but what he has done pissed them off.
And I don't know of another American citizen that would stand up for us the way he has.
Still voting libertarian.
I might change my mind down the road, depending on how far they push this.
But let's not worry about the politics.
Let's worry about ourself and our home life.
So find ways to save money.
I'm not going to say buy gold.
I don't even know.
I mean, it's like every these podcasts are like, oh, the economy is crashing.
There's only one way to save us.
Buy gold.
Oh, by the way, buy gold from these people.
It's a sales pitch.
I don't know.
But find what works for you.
Because some gold is still, the government can come and take it from you if they find out you have it.
Not that I know of.
I mean, they can, but it wouldn't be legal.
No, no.
There's some, I forget what they were saying.
So there is some gold apparently you can't own.
I don't know if it's in coin form or in bar form.
But the reality is the government doesn't want you owning gold.
So, you know, look into it.
If that works for you, great.
Personally, I kind of look at silver because I don't have gold money.
I got silver money.
What, $24 an ounce right now?
Something like that.
Yeah.
I don't have.
It's up at $26 now.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
Gold's also pushing $2,400.
Like it got over a couple of days.
It's going to hit $3,000 an ounce in the years to come.
Yeah.
I don't have $3,000 an ounce money.
I got $2,400, $2,600 an ounce of money.
I can do that.
I can be fat with silver.
I can be walking around with my pockets.
Silver just falls out of my pockets.
I got that.
But find something that you're comfortable with that may, you know, maybe have some hidden cash.
There's also crypto, right?
Like Monero.
Yeah, see, you're a crypto guy and I get it.
And I'm not discounting that.
But I'm talking about like the internet gets shut off.
You got the black web.
I think you still have the black web, dark web.
Well, this will be a future episode.
So.
I don't want to get into too much.
But there's ways that we're working on to keep the internet going that doesn't require wires on the ground or ISPs or any of that stuff.
Oh, look at that.
We got the dark web.
People are people.
They're going to come and save us.
So get on the dark web.
Experience it.
Be safe on it.
Look at it.
You know, kind of play with it.
So if shit does go sideways, at least you can communicate.
Because that's my biggest problem.
If this country loses communication with each other, we're going to go batshit crazy.
So.
We got to just kind of like prepare for everything that can come our way.
But just going back to the ways of saving money for inflation.
I mean, your grocery bill.
People, the grocery bills are not.
They're not the highest they're going to be yet.
They're going to go up.
Whether it be corporate greed.
Whether it be government greed.
Whether it be just control over us.
You know, you can save food.
But food does have an expiration date.
So, you know, kind of work with that.
See what works for you.
Buy smart.
Grow your own food.
You know, obviously you can't grow a cow.
You could buy one.
But I mean, come on.
I can't have a cow walking in my backyard yet.
Working on that.
But just find ways to save money.
And I really hate to say it, but buy coupons.
I mean, get coupons and coupon shops.
Well, you can buy them.
They have those little books they do.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
So buy coupons.
Or get coupons however you have to get them.
You know.
But use them.
It sucks.
I don't know if you can do that either.
But with what's coming, you want to be able to at least get some food in your house.
Keep some money in your pocket.
Although, maybe Dave will be the one to answer this.
So grocery stores right now have that little IR code.
Then if you scan that, you get special prices.
It's much cheaper.
Yeah, yeah.
What information am I giving them by putting that on my phone?
When you sign up.
So like when they, if you go as a new customer and they say, oh, would you like to sign up for our rewards program?
Whatever info you put in there.
So you don't give them a fake name and all that shit.
No.
So I think you might not understand what I'm talking about.
In the grocery stores, this just popped up like a month or two ago.
So they've got, let's just say, a loaf of bread.
And it's $6.99.
With their club card, it's $4.99.
With the QR code, it's $3.99.
I've never heard of this.
Yeah.
I only go to Costco really.
Okay.
So the grocery stores, to me, when you download that QR code.
Yeah.
You're giving up information.
What are you actually giving up?
Or what could you be giving up?
Well, if you're, I mean, the rewards club is where you give all your info.
Right?
So they take your name, your address.
Right.
Your phone number, all that shit.
Now, if you just scan a QR code, I don't see what they could be getting out of that.
Well, could they put tracking information on your phone?
Can they, because it says, this app wants to view your camera.
Oh, yeah.
If it makes you install an app, then yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it's for.
So you get cheaper price.
Yeah.
So you get cheaper price.
Yeah.
So you get cheaper price.
Yeah.
So you get cheaper price.
Yeah.
But you're getting cheaper prices because they're getting something more from you.
That's more valuable to them.
Yeah.
I mean, like Apple, if it's an Apple app, they're pretty good about strict app control.
Like one app can't steal the info from another app.
But if you're on Android, like anything.
It's wild Western androids people.
So, be aware.
I will not put the QR code on my phone.
Any place?
Restaurants?
I won't.
Because I was at a restaurant the other day, and they're like, we don't have menus.
Yeah.
You have to download this on your phone.
I go, I'm not putting it on my phone.
Well, that will just go to a website.
So that's usually pretty safe.
But if it makes you download an app, especially if the app is not owned by the company you're
dealing with.
So like, for example.
Well, it has to be owned by them.
No, no, no.
No, it doesn't.
So like, let's say you're at Kroger shopping.
We don't have Kroger in Vegas, but it's in Vegas.
But we still, yeah, it's Mrs. Kroger.
Yeah.
But let's say you go there and you scan the QR code.
If it says, would you like to download the Kroger app?
It's like, okay, it's a Kroger app, and I'm in Kroger.
No big deal.
But sometimes it'll go, would you like to download the Century Rewards for Biden app?
Like, no, why would I do that?
I'm in Kroger.
Right?
So you got to pay attention to what you're actually looking at.
And the other thing.
And so a QR code is really nothing but text.
Right.
Now, you can actually get an app on your phone that will just tell you the text behind the
QR code before you open it.
Oh.
So like, if you get one of those, you can then say, oh, this wants me to go to a website.
So it's probably safe.
Oh, this wants me to download an app.
So I don't really want to do that.
Well.
This is doing who knows what.
I brought this up a couple weeks ago.
I don't really pay attention to our show.
I used to come out here and talk shit and forget what I said.
But Bass Pro Shop.
They have the QR code.
They have the QR code.
They have the QR code if you want to talk to the people at the gun sales counter.
And, you know, I wouldn't do it.
I'd laugh.
I went to a place where I didn't have to do that.
But yet, then it came out a couple months later that they're reporting all that shit
to the FBI.
So they're getting something.
Are they not?
I mean, I'm not a techie guy.
If you download an app, now the app will know your unique phone ID, which can usually be
tied to you.
But I mean, they don't really have to get that sophisticated.
Generally, they just say, hey, what's your name?
Let me type my name in.
But if I talk about like, oh, I want to go buy a tent.
Yeah.
Am I going to get Bass Pro Shop tent suggestions?
I have no idea.
Remind me to talk about tents before we get into this show, though, by the way.
I brought that up randomly.
It popped in my head from a while ago.
But so, yeah.
So whatever.
I personally don't do QR codes.
I won't do them.
I was at an airport.
They're like, to either.
Eat or drink at this airport.
You have to download the QR code.
I go, well, not going to eat here.
Luckily, I brought my own alcohol.
So fuck off.
So, yeah, I just won't do it.
And then actually, another question I have.
On our driver's license, we have like, it's a version of a QR code.
And the gas is just standing all the time.
Yeah, yeah.
If I would take a black marker and just change it a little bit, would that actually not have
them read my data?
Yeah.
I don't like it.
It would give them an error.
Right.
That's their system, not my driver's license.
Yeah.
That would work.
Yeah, that would work.
Okay.
I'll be doing that very soon.
Let me know how it works.
Well, I mean, it's going to depend on the cashier.
Yeah.
If they get an error, they're going to go, well, you did something to your driver's license.
And then you're going to go, oh, this freaking machine has been acting up all day.
Yeah.
That's okay.
Let me know.
Okay.
I'll do it.
So in your house, there's ways you can reduce money in your house.
We live in Vegas, so we don't really worry about like the wintertime.
But there's ways to seal up your windows a little bit better.
So, yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's just to reduce the cost of energy.
You know, we've got, you know, in about six, four weeks, five weeks, we've got some hot
fucking weather coming.
It's already coming up a little bit.
Yeah.
But I mean, I don't worry until we go to three digits.
I mean, 90s in Vegas is better than 80s in Chicago in the humidity.
So I can deal with that.
But there's ways to save your energy costs.
You know, maybe don't turn your AC down as far as you normally do.
Or don't turn your heat up as far as ... Find ways to save money, people, because it's just
going to benefit you in the future because again i mean energy costs they're not going down anymore
um actually what guy was that there was a uh interview being done he's like well you think
the food prices are ever going to go down once they get them up there they're not going to bring
them down so find a way to cook you know to do smart with something my wife and i do it's kind
of fun because um you know over i like to cook so whether it be on the grills or my girls in the
backyard or even in the kitchen uh we bought a book it's called um uh recipes for the depression
era and we'll buy those recipes we'll cook you know we'll cook them and see they're good they're
fine but it's ways to buy cheap food that's still kind of healthy ish um and to be able to at least
save some money on that because i'm tired of going to the grocery store and spending you know
two hundred dollars and getting like three bags of food um so you'll find better ways
to
shop um you know if you want to buy eggs find a local eggery or the local chicken guy who's got
eggs um and maybe go to them you know find different ways where you can save some money
well sign up for costco i mean like yeah but you got the fee you have to pay yeah okay but listen
to this if you get the gold membership which is 120 a year okay you get two percent cash back on
every dollar you spend is costco sponsoring you they should be at this point but if you if you go
to the grocery store and you're like oh i'm gonna buy some eggs and i'm gonna buy some eggs and
you're like oh i'm gonna buy some eggs and i'm gonna buy some eggs and i'm gonna buy some eggs and
you go there every week or every you however many yeah it pays for itself what costco do you go to
your vegas um mostly the one in henderson okay so you avoid the one here in summerland uh it's just
farther away i actually like it better but it's further away oh dude i mean i promise we both my
wife and i both work weekdays so we have the weekends off yeah i won't choke a motherfucker
you don't want to go to costco again oh dear god yeah i work part-time so i can go i go on mondays
and so maybe i would actually support that but i mean there's like kamikaze people in the
car grocery concert carts in there yeah they don't so i do the same thing i mean whatever
you know when in a row you're saving tons of money tons of money but but i don't need six big bottles
of mayonnaise well you don't get the mayonnaise you buy the eggs and make your own fucking
mayonnaise yeah i guess no i we actually have had a costco card for the longest time and i did i
mean because i'm a beer drinker and you could buy beers actually not not too bad even the spirits
you can catch some good sales oh actually what i did like about costco i should mention that
um the one thing it was a good thing about costco was that they had a lot of beer and they had a lot
of alcohol so you don't have to go to the bar you don't have to be just a big soda and drink a lot
of beer but you can do a lot of beer if you don't like beer okay the costco really important costco
and i believe this might have been the seattle area where it's really important they would push
the like a bottle of jack daniels cost this much plus tax this much you're paying this much because
i want to me that was important because they're saying hey you wouldn't be spending this much much
the government didn't tax you so much because in washington state what they did was they had state
oh, we don't want to stay in liquor stores.
We want competition.
We want lower prices.
So they got it.
But then all of a sudden, the liquor tax came out.
The first bottle of tequila I bought at,
I may have mentioned this before,
I was at the liquor store.
I had just moved in, and my body was hurting,
so I wanted to get a bottle of tequila,
kind of like sip some on it, kind of relax my muscles.
And I'll usually buy, you know, the $20 to $25 range of liquor.
I mean, I'm not, you know, I'm not a Rockefeller or a Bates or Bezos or whatever.
I don't have that kind of money.
So I'm just buying something that's cheap but still good.
And I put the bottle down, and the dude goes,
that'll be $33.
I go, yo, dude, you got the wrong bottle.
He goes, yo, dude, you're new to Seattle.
I go, what?
It was like $10 a bottle on tax.
And that's the one thing that I like Costco,
because they're like, hey, this is what the government's charging you
so you can enjoy alcohol.
And to me, that was important, because guess what tax we never see?
What's the gas tax?
What is the gas tax in this state?
No idea.
Why not?
They don't put it there.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's on the receipts, people.
Think about that.
So they can tax us.
Well, did you know that even in the low-tax states,
the government makes more per gallon of gas than the gas companies do?
Oh, that would not surprise me.
Yeah, absolutely they do.
Arizona, now, where we're at in Vegas,
I can get to Arizona in under an hour,
going two different directions.
And gas is about a dollar, a gallon cheaper.
And we're not even a heavy gas tax state, are we?
Well, we are, because we started doing,
I don't know the specifics, but California has some bullshit laws
that make their gas so expensive.
And Nevada said, oh, let's do that.
I mean, I was in Chicago visiting family,
and I'm like, oh, dear God, a relief from the high gas prices.
If you get that joke, Chicago's a very heavily taxed,
taxed city for gas.
Yeah.
And it was cheaper than Nevada.
Jesus.
Just saying.
So that's kind of just what I want to talk about.
It's just, you know, save the pennies and nickels and dimes when you can.
They turn into dollars, and dollars turn into more money
until the government takes it all from us.
All right, so I did want to bring up tents.
This is one of those things I've been kind of, like,
floating around with what to do.
So all these protesters have the exact same tent.
Have you seen this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The green one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The green, yeah.
Yeah.
So why doesn't someone who's investigating where they're getting their money from
find out what manufacturer of tents they are,
contact the manufacturer to find out where their tents are being sold at
in large numbers?
Because my guess is it's not like there's millions of tents being sold a day.
Well, why don't you do it?
Well, I don't know what manufacturer the tents are.
Well, you go look at the tents.
I don't have, they're not protesting UNLV yet.
But my point is, I would like to find out who's been sold.
I would like to find out who's behind this.
Because when you all had the exact same tent.
Yeah.
My guess is you didn't go shopping together.
Right.
I'm guessing you were paid, you're being paid to be there.
And I would like to know who's doing this.
I can pretty much guess at this point.
Well, if you, if you're listening from a city where they're protesting.
Get me the manufacturer of those fucking tents, people.
Make a bottle.
Matter of fact, that's another Monero giveaway.
Hey, stop giving away my Monero.
You get a dollar.
You get a dollar of Monero if we get the tent manufacturer.
I'm not going to give you a dollar.
I'm going to give you a dollar.
I'm going to give you a dollar.
I'm going to give you a dollar.
I'm going to give you a dollar.
That's all I need.
I'll go from there.
I will take it from there.
Because I mean, we all kind of know where it's at.
But it would be interesting to see.
And why the media is not doing that?
Well, that's not their job.
Well, it is their job.
No, it's not.
Their job is to.
They're a very important part of our government in the way it works.
They're supposed to be there.
Yeah, their job is to say what the government says and make you believe it.
That's their job.
That's not the job of the media.
That's what they get paid for.
That's what they do now.
That's what they get paid for.
They used to investigate stories.
No, they didn't.
Oh, they did.
That's bullshit.
That's, see, there's a conspiracy that you haven't picked up on yet.
Okay, how about this?
It's always been this way.
You just didn't find out until now.
Because of the internet.
That's right.
So, guess what?
We're the new media.
Podcasts are the new media.
Let's go a little crazy.
Let's have some fun.
Get some stories out that they normally won't tell us.
And there's actually podcasts that have investigative reporters.
So maybe we'll start doing some of our own.
Yeah.
We'll do it ourselves.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I'll be a higher investigative reporter.
Or I'll just put on some glasses.
All right, people.
I think I'm done.
How about you?
Yeah.
Just a quick.
Oh, shit.
Next week, I think we'll talk about cars.
So how to make your car self-sovereign.
You know, get rid of all the shitty computers.
Like no Dyson plates?
No driver's license?
No, I wish.
It's a conversation we have before people.
Just in general so your car's not spying on you.
That kind of stuff.
Okay.
This show went a little bit long.
So enjoy it.
We're not Joe Rogan long.
But we're long for a typical podcast.
But it was fun.
So have a good night.
Well, good day, good night.
Whatever time you're watching this, enjoy your life.
See you next time.
See you next time.
Goodbye.
