Water Storage and Rights. Monero.

RON: Hi, this is Ron Morgan with the Canary in the cage and my co-host DAVE: Dave Havlicek.

RON: We are here to entertain you and form you and hopefully scare you a little bit because

there's some really scary shit going on in this place.

But the first thing I want to talk about is Washington state.

You guys say Washington state because apparently Washington DC it's confusing.

So Washington state just passed an ordinance or a law or whatever the hell they want to

call it about and you can't bully or harass anybody.

DAVE: Oh, that sounds like good, good law, right?

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: You don't want to harass or bully people.

RON: I mean, I'm not saying bullying is a good thing, but I will say some shitty behaviors

gets corrected with bullies.

But they have a hotline you can call to report your neighbors.

DAVE: Oh, well, there you go.

RON: Well, it reminded me of a story from a couple of years ago, a story that when I heard it,

I go, huh, you know, America's going to be all right.

So back during the COVID shutdown days, I know we try to forget those.

Fuck.

New York City.

They had a hotline.

DAVE: Okay.

RON: That you can call and report your neighbors for doing shit they shouldn't do.

DAVE: Right.

RON: Let's just say that one lasted a couple of weeks.

The amount of dick pics and and asshole pics.

I mean, I mean, dick pics, that's easy.

Yeah.

When you're going for the asshole, I mean, a friend is involved in that.

You can't really use a mirror because you I mean, they didn't send the picture of the

ass.

DAVE: Right, right.

RON: I mean, they saw the chocolate starfish.

DAVE: Well, you know, in Japan, everyone uses a bidet on their toilet.

And the Japanese are like super into this stuff.

And like it has a nozzle that can actually aim.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: Right.

So but the way it does that is it has a camera and it has to identify what an asshole looks

like.

So some guy in a Japanese office somewhere was sitting there with 10,000 pictures of assholes

saying, yeah, that's an asshole.

No, that's not an asshole.

I mean, they had to do that, right?

That's how it works.

RON: I mean, that's a hell of a job.

How do you how do you interview for that?

I mean, I don't want it.

I'm just saying that right now.

But yeah, no, it was just, I mean, to, to, well, I don't know if like one guy started

a Reddit thing and and told everybody to send dick pics or maybe he told his neighbor and

they told friends of friends of friends.

DAVE: Yes, too bad.

It's too bad.

Anne Frank didn't have have that RON: you know, like, but but I really hope.

There was no communication.

There was no plan that everybody just said, oh yeah, dick pic asshole pic.

So yeah, so that's my little funny story.

I kind of DAVE: hopefully people start doing that with the Washington hotline.

RON: So Washingtonians, how you doing out there?

There's maybe one of you.

I don't know.

I mean, I got a friend in Seattle, so there might be a few of a few of you listen.

Dick pick it and women, women, you're not left out here.

We are all inclusive on this podcast.

So get creative and DAVE: Just some advice.

Get a Google phone number that you can throw away so that they can't trace it back to you.

RON: See, there's always education on this show how to hide your dick pics from the government.

Send them to the government and then hide it from the government.

I love that.

So any interesting your life today or this week or since last Thursday?

DAVE: Actually, kind of, there was a big shake up in the open source world.

RON: Really?

DAVE: So there's a library called XZ.

And basically what it does is it does like compression of whether it's files or streams

over the network, whatever.

RON: I'm just going to smile and nod at this point.

DAVE: So yeah.

So basically everybody uses this library, but they don't even know it.

Right.

Because anytime you send data over the internet, your machine is secretly

compressing it to save data.

RON: OK.

DAVE: So what happened was this guy infiltrated the project two years ago.

OK.

And he like made contributions.

He was super helpful.

And then last month, he put a back door in there so that he could take over anyone's

machine that that's using this XZ.

And now everyone on Twitter is like, oh, open source is shitty because of this and blah,

blah, blah.

Well, so it turns out like people have been analyzing this all week because it came out

this week.

RON: OK.

DAVE: So basically nobody has downloaded the new version of this software because in computers,

right, you don't update right away.

You have like a cycle where you might update a month later or two months later or whatever

it is.

So very few people download this except for the crazies that are always on the edge.

RON: And you you did it.

DAVE: I didn't, no.

I'm I'm yeah.

OK.

RON: You're not that kind of crazy.

DAVE: No, I'm not that kind of.

RON: We are libertarians.

So we are a little bit.

DAVE: I do that with some software, but not every piece of software.

RON: Well, I interrupted your story, but go ahead.

DAVE: No.

So the so some goofy guy like crazy guy was was running like benchmark tests like to see

how fast certain things were.

RON: OK.

DAVE: And he's like, why is this so slow?

I don't get it.

So he tracked it down and he found there's some weird shit going on in this XZ library.

And then he looked at the code, you know, the last couple changes and he said, what the

fuck is this?

So he like figured it out and he worked it backwards and he said, holy shit, this guy

put a back door in this code and everybody went fucking nuts.

But the reason that this actually is a success for open source is the thing about this, this

guy spent two years just trying to get the rights to be able to push this this code shit

out.

RON: OK.

DAVE: And less than one month after he did it, somebody found it.

RON: OK.

Well, that's good.

DAVE: So like imagine if this was in Microsoft, you're never going to find that shit.

There's things in Microsoft that have been there for 10 years and someone's exploiting

it and nobody knows about it.

But like this is open source.

There's always some crazy guy running some stupid benchmark RON: Of course. DAVE: And then saying, why

is this thing 50 milliseconds too slow?

And I mean, it's wonderful.

RON: It's great.

So like Linux would be a good.

DAVE: Yes.

RON: Open source.

So this is the thing.

I mean, I'm not a computer guy.

I mean, I'm lucky I got logged into this computer.

But Linux is free.

DAVE: Yes.

RON: And it pretty much does everything you need to do.

DAVE: Right.

RON: But yet we're all sucking Microsoft's dick.

DAVE: Yes.

RON: Why is that?

DAVE: Well, Microsoft has deals with the manufacturers, especially with laptops where Windows just

comes with it and people don't want to do the minimal amount of work it takes to put

Linux.

They don't want to learn new software.

I mean, it is scary for a first timer, right?

Because it's the first thing that says this is going to delete your hard drive.

Be careful.

You know, like, and people freak out and they say, oh, maybe I shouldn't do that.

RON: I mean, ironically, I actually like Linux and I've used Linux before.

I've got somebody in my family who's into computers.

So that I really dug it.

It was kind of cool.

But so you got these like people that are offended by cow farts and yet they're so using

Microsoft.

DAVE: Oh, yeah.

RON: Like you could literally run your entire PC for free and not have to like because you

can there's add-ons or I don't know if that's the right word, but you can make your Linux

operate like Windows or at least do the features of Windows.

DAVE: Yeah.

I mean, there's almost no feature that Linux lacks.

The one area is gaming.

And I mean, that's been improving a lot lately.

So Steam is a huge gaming platform.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: And they really try hard to make the games work on Linux.

RON: Yeah, we keep giving Bill Gates more money.

DAVE: I got up for Windows in, I want to say 2006.

OK, I haven't looked back.

I've been Linux the whole time.

RON: How are you living?

DAVE: I mean, I don't know.

Yeah, it's scary sometimes.

I mean, it's definitely not perfect.

Like you get into situations where it's like what the fuck just happened.

But I mean, Windows does the same thing.

RON: Yeah.

OK, so let's get on some some current events.

Well, I mean, I guess I didn't know if I was going to talk about this or not,

because it's kind of weird, but apparently band-aids are killing people.

I wish I actually really wish I knew the band-aid song right now.

I don't know.

I probably should Google it or oh, God.

And then Google.

DAVE: My band-aid has a first name.

It's O-S-C-A-R.

RON: That's Oscar Meyer.

Ironically, though, that would work with if we were talking about eating bugs

because there are bugs in hot dogs.

I won't.

And we all do shout those fucking things.

Do not put ketchup on your hot dog.

DAVE: No, unacceptable.

You have to unsubscribe from our viewership if you do that.

RON: Yes, we do not want you as a viewer or as a sponsor.

If you put ketchup on your hot dogs.

But no, it's basically it's got what they call it.

I'm going to take my notes because I can't remember shit.

54. DAVE: CRS?

RON: Yeah.

What's? DAVE: Can't remember shit.

RON: OK.

Pretty much.

So it's got a forever chemical in it.

So this shit enters your body through open wounds.

DAVE: Right.

RON: Wait, I'm a little confused.

When you what do you use a band-aid for?

DAVE: Well, I used to like hold ethernet cables together.

RON: Well, that's funny.

DAVE: Oh, no, I don't actually do that RON: Again.

DAVE: I use regular zip ties.

RON: Oh, you should have stuck with the story

because that was like educational shit.

DAVE: No, don't use band-aids for that.

They're going to they don't maintain stickiness.

RON: And they'll kill your wires.

Yeah, I think.

And they'll give them cancer, too.

RON: Again, my opinion could be wrong.

I don't need to be sued by the band-aid coalition.

But yeah, they're saying that band-aids kill you.

So get an open wound

Just put honey on it.

It'll go away.

And that's not a joke.

No, no, seriously.

I mean, I love my raw.

DAVE: I don't even bother with that.

I just put some paper towels and pressure.

RON: Really quick.

Like people at work are like, Ron, you're bleeding.

I'm like, oh, shit.

OK, I don't care.

So wipe it off.

I go, I clock quick.

Don't worry about me.

I'm not going to bleed out here on you.

OK, I guess this is going to be a short one, I think.

You Anthony Blinken?

What's the name of Blinken's first name?

DAVE: Is that the Secretary of State or something?

RON: Yeah, whatever.

Dick Blinken.

He is.

He basically had a press conference.

I was at the table yesterday and said,

Ukraine will eventually join NATO.

DAVE: Oh, God.

RON: So basically, that means we're going to fucking war with Russia.

DAVE: I've heard that the army has sent out letters

to people who've done their time saying, hey, please come back.

RON: Yeah, that's when they fired for being non-vaxxers.

I don't want to be a COVID vaxxer.

You're fired.

You're out of the military.

Oh, wait, come back now.

DAVE: We need to fight a war.

RON: Yeah, so actually, Gen Z out there,

you guys are a military fighting age.

DAVE: Good luck.

RON: Vote carefully, because if this shit goes down,

men and women that are Gen Zs are going to war

and you will be cannon fodder.

So, yeah, that one pisses me off.

Because we as libertarians, we are against war.

I mean, if we're attacked, let's fight this.

Fight and let's win.

But if it's nation building, I actually

believe I heard nation building is racist now.

DAVE: Sounds right.

RON: Yeah, if I say I'm against nation, but I'm a racist.

I don't even understand our government.

DAVE: Isn't everyone in Ukraine white?

RON: Well, yeah, but that's not the problem,

because if you know, with the sun and the moon

and you know, when it's, you know, yeah, I can probably come.

DAVE: Well, the sun and the moon are about to cross.

RON: Yeah, let's talk about that.

DAVE: Everyone's going fucking nuts over that.

RON: Holy shit, are people going nuts about that?

It's another doomsday scenario.

DAVE: You know, they happen every year and a half or so,

and nothing's ever happened before.

RON: Well, OK, so I think the problem is

some of the states that are in the path, which a lot of people

like the path that it's taken is wrong.

It can't go in that direction because the sun doesn't move

in that direction.

The shade's going west to east.

The sun moves from east to west.

So they've deployed National Guard.

Now, mind you, every time there's been an eclipse,

the National Guard gets deployed for like traffic situations

because apparently some of you motherfuckers love to go to

where the eclipse is happening at.

DAVE: There's a lot of traffic, RON: you know, but so.

I mean, I am a conspiracy theorist.

I'm proud to be one.

I say it loud.

I say it proud.

But my shit sticks more with the government and their incompetence.

DAVE: Well, what I mean, what could you do with the eclipse?

I mean, it's a natural phenomenon millions of miles away.

RON: Yeah. Well. DAVE: What do they think is happening?

RON: Somebody did some research and apparently there's been some earthquakes

when an eclipse happened.

DAVE: Even if there were.

RON: So what we dealt with earthquakes before.

But it's but there's now there's some guy.

Oh, I was going to write his name down, but I was.

This is not what I really wanted to dig into.

But I think we really should.

He he claims on the South Pole, we have what's the energy force weapon.

You know, DAVE: not really.

RON: It's the stuff that started the Hawaii fire, the Texas fight.

DAVE: Oh, this laser beam shit, whatever.

RON: Well, but so you get the apparently some multifunctional.

It's like it's like a Swiss Army knife.

OK, so you can shoot a laser beam with it or you can cause earthquakes.

DAVE: Well, how does it curve?

RON: Well, the Earth is flat, though.

DAVE: Yeah, but if you're in the South Pole and you want to hit Hawaii.

RON: The Earth is flat. It's easy. DAVE: Oh, Earth's flat.

RON: Yeah the Earth is flat.

You didn't know that?

Now, I don't think we have ice walls that hold us all in.

DAVE: Really?

How come no one's ever seen them?

RON: Well, because, I mean, you know, it's not.

You go really, really far out in the ocean.

DAVE: See, yeah, I think we've done that, though.

RON: Have we? DAVE: Yeah. RON: No, I said, it's not going far enough.

DAVE: I mean, we've gone to the other side.

RON: And so so when I lived in Seattle, I started to stand up comedy.

And apparently this joke was was was too much for Seattleites.

And I said the Earth is not flat.

I go, the reason I know it's not flat is if there we had ice walls that surrounded us,

Al Gore will be out there saying that they're shrinking and cracking,

trying to scare us, send him more money.

Now, is it a funny joke?

I don't know. I found it funny, but, you know, Seattleites

apparently like Al Gore and they were just all pissed off.

I'm not even getting into my service animal joke,

because that would really set them off.

But. Yeah.

So I don't know. I mean,

basically, we can't get off track on that one.

Yeah. So no, I mean, I don't know.

Well, hey, this goes back to I think a story we talked about before,

where if you have a green roof, green or blue, DAVE: blue, RON: blue.

OK, your house will not be affected by this thing.

And Joe Biden in an interview said,

I saw a house with a blue roof in a fire area and it was just fine.

Now. A couple of a couple of problems with that.

If the laser doesn't hit the house with with with the with the green or blue roof,

the fire is still going to get to it because it's all around.

DAVE: Yeah. RON: So I.

DAVE: Well, so the other thing is, let's say you have like

100 houses in an area and 99 of them burned down.

And then the one that stayed, it has a blue roof.

Well, how do you know that none of the other ones had a blue roof

because they're all burnt?

RON: See, you just you're introducing logic in this.

You have to stop that.

DAVE: Well, that's what I do RON: stop the logic.

Although I did order the paint to paint my house.

DAVE: Well, I saw some Chinese video where they were putting this blue,

I don't know, tarp or something that like stuck to the roof

and someone else said, why are these Chinese people

putting blue on the roofs because this whole.

RON: I'm the dumb ass who ordered paint.

I could go Home Depot and bought a tarp.

They're blue. DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Damn it. I got.

Checking my conspiracy is a little conspiracy.

There's a little bit more.

Um, so OK, so we're going to.

So I'm trying to look into different conspiracy theories

and and different stuff.

I'm kind of going out of my realm to.

To try to dig deep into it.

Holy shit, there's some fucking crazy people out there.

DAVE: Yeah. RON: I mean, it's like I almost want to stop them.

Conspiracy, there's you know, DAVE: I have a YouTube channel you might like.

It's called Wendigoon.

This guy is great.

Like he dives into conspiracy theories.

He does like three, four hour long video.

Like he's one of the best YouTubers.

RON: Maybe I'll look into that. I don't know.

It's just it's I'm excited.

I want to provide good content for this show.

And I'm not going to report something that I can't at least verify is it's true.

So DAVE: He doesn't even care if it's true or not.

Like he just report like he just talks about it.

RON: But does he sell it as this is a conspiracy theory?

And this is what it is.

And I people decide or do you try to say that it's true?

DAVE: No, no, he just shows you the information that's out there.

RON: OK, that's fine.

I just don't want somebody to come off as saying this is true

and green roofs or blue roofs don't you're you're protected.

DAVE: I think some of them he does he does believe are true.

And it's hard to, you know, get that bias out of there.

But but the ones he believes are true are like, you know,

Hillary and Bill Clinton killed people.

And yeah, I don't want to like give too much away.

OK, so you should go check him out.

He's really good. RON: So there's like a Clinton kill list.

Yeah. Oh, well, that's just weird.

DAVE: Well, did you hear the one about these two boys in Arkansas

back when they were when they were the governor? RON: Oh, God.

DAVE: You hear that story? RON: That's an ass rape story?

Is that DAVE: No, no, no, no, like these kids were like playing on railroad

tracks as you used to do back in the 80s.

RON: Yes, put pennies on them.

DAVE: And they ended up like missing or I don't know if they recovered the bodies or not.

But it turned out like they were near

some like known drug dealer activity place.

And like the people running this drug den had connections to the Clintons.

And it's really fucking weird.

But there's like a huge YouTube

like seven hours worth of content about this shit. It's crazy.

RON: Let's back off the Clinton stuff, because I don't want to be on their kill list.

I mean, they really they make heart attacks with people.

I still believe

I'm not going there. I don't want to die yet.

Yeah, I'm making sure my life insurance paid up.

But there are some stuff that I've been finding out that.

It's true. It is.

And it does.

I try to find the humor in all stories

because who wants to hear some idiot say, Oh, this is what's going to happen.

And this is what's going to go down.

Now, I try to add levity to it and let people decide it's true or not.

But let's just start. Which one do I want to do?

Let's do this talk about the treaty, the treaty that the WHO not the band.

DAVE: No, RON: It could be confusing.

DAVE: Yeah, RON: because I really don't want people to think Roger Waters was doing something really bad.

DAVE: Yeah. RON: And there is a World Health Organization.

RON: OK, can we not copyright?

DAVE: Roger Waters is Pink Floyd.

RON: Oh, see, I'm not.

I'm not a music guy.

DAVE: Well, he used to be a Pink Floyd.

RON: Oh, yeah, you're a music guy.

You and you and the other guy.

DAVE: Roger Daltrey, RON: the guy with the like the really like straight haircut

and really combed it down and really shocked that he has a girlfriend.

But I'm going to pay for that one tomorrow.

But that's OK.

I didn't say his name, although I will say this.

I have a hard time with his name because for some reason,

and I don't know why my wife first met him.

She calls him Dante.

She knows his real name, but she calls him Dante because his haircut

looks like the dude from Oh, Jesus Christ.

Kevin Smith movie with the clerks.

DAVE: I didn't see that one.

RON: You haven't seen like clerks one, two and three?

DAVE: I don't like Kevin Smith.

RON: He's a little weird.

He's a little leftist, but I will say the dude's funny.

You I mean, clerks one.

I'll get the guy credit.

Clerks one was done in black and white.

It was done for a really low budget and it really popular.

It came out.

Clerks two is just fucking funny.

I mean, they actually do a donkey show in there.

And it's not in Tijuana.

They actually bring the donkey here.

But if you watch the movie, you really need to read the contract before you sign it

because. Yeah, but yeah.

But so she always refers to him as Dante, which I find to be funny.

But It's so I don't have to say his real name.

But no, getting back to this UN treaty.

So it's a that's I got you.

It's the who the who I got a UN story in here, too.

The WHO treaty basically.

Let me get to my notes.

Can't remember shit.

They want all all the countries in the world.

DAVE: Yeah, RON: to sign this treaty.

Now, a lot of the African nations are like, yeah, we're not doing it.

And Europe, I believe Europe is in Joe Biden's already said he's going to do it.

And then Louisiana has they're already passing a law to stop this,

least in Louisiana.

So what they want to do is they want us to agree that we that we allow the WHO

to define the next pandemic.

DAVE: OK. RON: Oh, and determine lockdowns.

So we want foreign adversaries to tell us we're going to be locked down.

This is I mean, this seriously is a that it's a it's a treaty that is being

worked on. This is not conspiracy.

It's going to be voted on in May.

There's a point, you know, so apparently when this treaty is introduced,

it's supposed to be put out 60 days ahead of the vote.

It's not out there.

They're not doing right.

They want surveillance power.

Determine how to treat the pandemic.

They want a mandatory vaccine.

Oh, no, I'm sorry, mandate the vaccine, which would be a mandatory vaccine

and how it's distributed.

DAVE: Well, how do you know there's a vaccine?

There's no disease.

RON: Again, stop using logic.

We're dealing with the government.

And I got my pages messed up.

I almost said something that was not right.

But no, so there's a lot.

Oh, and they want to to to redistribute how things are handled.

And in the case of another pandemic.

And I was listening to

it was redacted news on rumble.

It's it's it's one of the more crazy one, the more out there podcast.

But but they do cite their sources and they do bring stuff up.

And they brought the fact that what if Mad Cow Disease breaks out at a ranch?

DAVE: Right.

RON: Will the WHO shut down, get rid of the cattle.

Kill a couple.

Guys, we're going to be bugs soon.

Watch how you vote.

DAVE: What if we just say no?

RON: Well we can't.

DAVE: Well, even if Joe Biden signs it like and we just say no, we're not going to do that.

RON: But we can't.

We're not because our overlords said we're going to do this.

DAVE: Yeah, but we're not.

RON: I mean, you're going to get the UN police at your door.

DAVE: Oh, no. I mean, I hope they do.

RON: What?

What do you think they're moving all these migrants in?

Oh, so speak of these migrants.

I've been trying to find out with a funny name for them because, you know,

migrants, illegals, special visitors.

So I'm watching this show on Netflix.

I don't know the name of it, but it's the dude runs an AA

AA group.

He's a drunk and a quitter.

DAVE: Fuckin' quitter.

RON: I'm no quitter.

And he runs the group and it made me think of a guy that I knew.

Oh, maybe 10 years ago, who who's like, I'm a friend of Bill W.

And I go, what the fuck does that mean?

Because I don't know Bill W. Why are you telling me this?

He goes, oh, no, Bill, Bill, he knew the guy's last name.

He's he created AA.

And if you're a friend of Bill W, that's like code to say that.

DAVE: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

RON: OK. So we just started.

I really want this to kick off some people and everyone out there can hear my voice.

We're going to refer to these people as friends of Joe Biden.

DAVE: Friends of Joe Biden.

RON: I mean, what else?

I mean, they're murdering and raping people. DAVE: OK.

RON: I mean, you know, I think we can start that, you know, because he is a kid sniffer.

There's another video.

DAVE: Another one? RON: Happened.

DAVE: Oh, my God.

RON: On Easter.

Dude, what the?

DAVE: How do you like you know that all these videos are out there and you still do it anyway?

RON: I mean, and that's fine.

If you want to say no, he's, you know, maybe he's trying to get the kids a raspberry

or you know a raspberry?

DAVE: Yeah. But why would you do that?

They're not your kids. RON: I know.

But it's the look even like a two year old gets a look on their face.

Yeah. What the fuck is this dude doing?

It's just. Oh, God, it's creepy.

It's fucked.

But so I want to bring this up.

Louisiana is passing or attempting to pass a law.

I'm sure it's going to fail because the Democrats want us to listen to WHO again,

not the band, the World Health Organization.

So I just want to read it off my phone.

I took a screenshot of it.

The World Health Organization, United Nations and the World Economic Forum

shall have no jurisdiction or power within the state of Louisiana.

No rules, regulations, fee, tax, policy

or mandate of any kind.

The World Health Organization, United Nations and the World Economy Forum

shall be enforced or implemented by the state of Louisiana

or any agency department, board, commission, political subdivisions,

government entry of the state, parish,

municipality or any other political entity.

So Louisiana is fighting it.

Now they mentioned, you know a parish?

DAVE: Yeah, it's like counties over there.

RON: Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.

Because I found that out the hard way.

Oh, no, no, I I got it.

I got a Jefferson parish, which story, which I probably will get into today.

Because again, I can't say fucking focused.

I had to sue them

because it didn't send the airport.

Yeah, they took my ship and it wasn't allowed to.

DAVE: Yeah. RON: So I'll get to that some other day.

But Jefferson Parish is not in New Orleans,

but the New Orleans airport is in Jefferson Parish.

And it is it's either the first or second most corrupt sheriff's department

in the country guess which one they're competing with.

Come on, you live there.

DAVE: What's Clark Clark? RON: No. Cook.

DAVE: Oh, Cook County. RON: Cook County.

Great old county. DAVE: I never had to deal with the sheriff there.

RON: Yeah, because they've got different.

See, that's what's weird, because they've got different jurisdictions.

They deal with different stuff over there.

Like they only deal with unincorporated areas and evictions and stuff.

Which judges order. DAVE: How can they be that corrupt then?

RON: It's Chicago.

DAVE: Well, I know, but the police would be corrupt.

But I thought the New Mexico

Maricopa was really bad.

RON: Well, Maricopa's in Arizona.

DAVE: Oh, yeah, yeah.

OK, yeah. The one with Joe Arpaio. OK.

RON: Well, no, he's he's he's I love that guy.

I mean, he's like that.

He's tired.

DAVE: I mean, he had some decent things, but he's a fucking nut job.

RON: I mean, I do not like our prison system in this country.

I think we do not do our prisons any favor at all.

We do not rehabilitate, and that is a problem.

But I did like, you know,

and this I go back.

So first of all, my my Cook County and Jefferson Parish

was researched like 10, 15 years ago.

So he could have changed because corruption does spread.

But with Joe, Sheriff Joe,

I just I kind of dug him because he put he's a tent city guy.

He put guys in tents, prisons in tents because he was overcrowded.

And they're like, well, sure, Joe, what happens when it rains?

He goes, they get wet.

You know, he fed them peanut butter and jelly.

DAVE: Yeah, but like he he would have the cops just stop people at random

and shake them down, right?

It wasn't just a whole, you know, crime and law and order shit.

The guy was fucking nuts.

RON: So again, I was a fan of Sheriff Joe again back, you know, 15 years ago.

But now that I've gotten older and more educated, you might be right.

But it's funny you brought that up because it's another story

that I was probably going to say for next week, but because I will kind of want

to see how it shook out because it kind of involves New York City again.

And so far, no dick pics or asshole picture.

But they are now they have deployed the National Guard in the subway system.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: And they have now they're now doing bag searches to get on the subway.

DAVE: See, that's bullshit.

Like that shouldn't be legal.

RON: Yeah.

So New Yorkers.

DAVE: It's not legal.

RON: What the fuck is it?

DAVE: Definitely not legal.

RON: Fuck are you doing?

Do not allow them to search your bags to get on something you paid for.

If it is public transportation, the word public means you paid for it.

DAVE: Right.

You have a Fourth Amendment protection.

RON: Maybe a nickel.

It may be a dime, but you paid for it.

Tell them to fuck off.

DAVE: Get a warrant.

RON: They exactly.

You do not let the cops touch you, search you in any way, shape,

form unless they have a warrant.

Make them go to the judge.

But you know, but here's the thing.

You're you're rushing to work and you're.

DAVE: Yeah, I get it.

They used to do this shit in Chicago.

I never had to run into it, but I saw a video on YouTube.

They were on the bike path on Lakeshore Drive

and they were searching everyone's bags going to the beach.

And this woman was standing there like shouting, like you don't have a right to do this.

Stop letting them search and eventually they went away.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: But if they keep doing it, right, people are going to fall for it.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: I mean, we fall for it at fucking airports.

RON: Yep.

Well, OK, so I actually looked at airports.

So TSA in the government language are exempt from the whole search.

DAVE: Well, I looked in the Constitution and I couldn't find that part.

RON: Oh, it's number it's number like 312.

DAVE: Oh, 312.

I didn't I mean, I didn't get all the way through.

It's a long document.

RON: Yeah, yeah, DAVE: it's like 20 pages.

RON: Yeah.

No, it's so.

Let's just say I've had problems with TSA before.

I think it's pretty safe to say.

Everybody knows me.

We're like, yeah, we get that.

And going back to the Jefferson Parish lawsuit, it happened at the airport.

Ironically, before 9 11, but right before 9 11 and right after 9 11,

they settled that case really fucking quick because they really didn't want

what I caught them on tape doing coming out.

But yes.

So, yeah.

In the Lakefront, Chicago.

Yeah. So that was one of my biggest problems.

We hired a new chief of police in Chicago and it was like his second week on the job.

And what happened in Ohio, Ohio Street Beach, which is more of a tiny beach

is kind of down from North Avenue Beach.

There was a shooting.

I think it might have been multiple shootings in Chicago.

DAVE: No way. RON: Saturday.

It's hot.

They shoot people.

And they close the beach.

Yeah.

And this son of a bitch went on camera and said, well, we had to close the beach

because it was it was too hot.

Yeah, it was too hot to be at the beach.

DAVE: What? That's where you go when it's hot.

RON: I know he didn't mention the muggings.

He didn't mention the shootings.

He mentioned it was too hot.

DAVE: God.

RON: So, yeah, I do have an issue with that.

And I'm like, I'm done with that guy.

I don't think he lasted very long anyway because we went through.

We went through a raid when I lived there.

It was like police chief every other day.

We hired the they brought in an ex FBI agent.

Yeah, that didn't go over well at all.

But it was funny watching this guy in the media.

He's like, there was a shooting in this neighborhood and a kid was shot

and who would bring a child to a drug deal three in the morning?

Like, dude, you're in Chicago.

We do that shit.

DAVE: What do you do?

You can't leave the kid home.

RON: I know you'd be arrested.

Remember to go home.

Yeah, you got to take him to the drug.

Apparently.

What noise?

It's like the Jesse Smollett case.

I'm kind of jumping a couple of years here.

They don't know what chief of police was there.

Yeah, but I lived in Seattle with a Jesse Smollett case happened.

And if you guys don't know, it was the black guy gay.

He was an actor on which was the DAVE: Empire?

RON: Maybe whatever.

He was on a TV show.

He was somewhat famous.

He basically staged him being attacked by racists because he as his

word is they were wearing make America Great Again hats.

They had to be racist.

DAVE: Well, but they also like allegedly they shouted homophobic slurs.

Well, of course they and put a noose on his neck and said, this is

a MAGA country.

Yeah, he had a whole story.

RON: So the noose is actually the funniest part of this entire story.

So he went back to well, first of all, he was on the streets at two, three

in the morning, which in that area DAVE: in the middle of winter.

RON: Yeah, yeah.

DAVE: It was like negative 12.

RON: Yeah, exactly.

And I believe there was like one subway that was open to go for a sandwich or

something.

But we all know you don't go out and minus 30 degrees or whatever it was.

It was just cold, and racists

They don't like cold DAVE: And they're not in Chicago.

There's no racism.

RON: There is no racism.

That's kind of what I'm going with this.

So but they so he ran back home after the noose put her on his neck.

Call 911.

The cops got there.

He was still wearing the noose.

It's like what?

And so he had this whole elaborate story.

And in Seattle, there was there was me and about two or three other comics

that were from Chicago and we're all like, Nope, that didn't happen.

One, we're not really racist in Chicago.

It's it's it's half white, half black and or 40s, 30, 20, Asians.

We love y'all brown, yellow.

So we were not a real racist city.

I mean, we're a loud, obnoxious, blowhard city, but that's just keep us warm in

the cold.

Much you got the more you talk, the more hot air you put out.

You know, that's actually why they call the winning city.

You know that, right?

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: It doesn't do with the wind.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Politicians talk too much.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Or maybe it was me.

I'm not sure because I still believe I am the jinx for the Cubs.

DAVE: No, how can that be?

RON: Because I moved out like two years later, they were in the World Series.

DAVE: I thought it was the goat.

RON: Well, I think it was the goat.

Hey, funny story about that.

So when they were in the World Series hunt in 20, I believe it was 16,

because I left in 2014 and they won in 2016.

Some dude without asking permission brought a goat and they fucking

denied him entry.

I'm like, you guys miss a seriously awesome press conference.

You know, hey, we allow the goat in.

Cause if you don't know the curse of the goat is this dude back in 19,

oh, something would bring a goat to all the Cubs games and they let him in.

Well, when the Cubs went to the World Series, it was too crowded.

Let the goat in.

And then he did some balla, balla, balla, balla, balla, balla, balla,

curse on the Cubs and that's the curse of the goat.

And it lasted damn near 108 years, I think DAVE: something like that.

Yeah.

So yeah, that was the owner of the Billy goat tavern.

You know that?

RON: Well, it was a family member of the owner.

DAVE: The original owner.

Oh, the original or it might be.

DAVE: That place is terrible.

Don't eat there.

RON: Oh, no, you got cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger.

DAVE: It's disgusting.

Yeah.

RON: Um, I don't know.

It was, it was like under a bridge and I'm right off Michigan Avenue and I don't

know, I eat there a few times.

It was more because the Saturday Night Live clip with John Belushi.

Go cheeseburger, cheeseburger.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Yeah.

Um, but yeah, it's like, so this guy brings it.

So the first time they worked the World Series, I was

still there or no, no, no, no, they didn't make the World Series because of

Bartman.

DAVE: Yeah.

I remember.

No, no, that was it.

RON: Yeah.

They was, it was the game before the World's.

I'm not into sports.

So forgive me.

Um, it was the game before whoever wins the series goes to the World Series.

Wasn't that so they were up by three games.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: So they're going to the World Series.

DAVE: Yeah.

Yeah.

RON: I remember that ball goes flying.

The, uh, the, uh, third basements tried to catch it and some dude named Bartman.

Sorry, dude.

I know, I know we really, really harassed you.

DAVE: Steve Bartman.

RON: He had to, he had to move to like Florida.

Yeah.

Chicago people, DAVE: but you know what?

RON: I mean, he reached out and catches the ball and the, so the third baseman couldn't

catch the ball and the fucking cubs fell apart.

DAVE: They were winning by like three runs.

RON: Yes.

DAVE: And then lost the game.

RON: It was like, literally, it was like, so yes.

He did stop DAVE: and then they still lost the other four games in a row.

RON: They were lterally

Were up.

DAVE: Yeah.

You can't blame that guy.

RON: It's not Bartman.

Steve Bartman, dude.

I'm so sorry.

Chicago has did that to you.

But seriously, next time you're at a ball game, keep the fucking headphones off

and watch the goddamn game.

I mean, seriously, you sit there.

You're, I mean, the dude had like a front row seat.

Is the, you got headphones.

DAVE: But you go to catch the ball.

You're a fan.

I mean, you're not, you're not thinking, oh, that's going to be.

RON: Paying attention, DAVE: you would go, oh, RON: I'm going to let that guy.

DAVE: I don't know.

RON: I mean, I think a lot of us want to reach out for that ball.

DAVE: Of course.

RON: This is a historic ball.

DAVE: Yeah.

That ball's worth like a million dollars.

RON: Probably is now.

Oh my God.

These stories just go way off base, but that's okay.

Cause we're trying to be funny with some serious shit.

So yeah.

So getting back to that whole WHO treaty.

DAVE: I'm just not going to do it, just, just know I'm not going to do it.

RON: Yeah.

But, but who, I mean, my guess is Joe Biden's friends will be the ones who enforce it.

DAVE: Good luck.

RON: Yeah.

You're probably shoot a lot of people.

DAVE: I mean, like I didn't wear a mask during COVID.

I'm like, you think I'm going to do this?

RON: I mean, yes.

And I hope that that is the case.

We always ignore shit and we always just, we don't put up with it.

But, you know, I don't know.

It's just with the current political makeup of this country right now.

And I don't know.

And this one, this is what can't bother me.

It really does.

Okay.

Let's move on to the next one.

Um, oh, so bloodbath is back in the news.

DAVE: What?

RON: No, see, this is the genius of Trump.

Again, I'm voting libertarian and I am, I will support..

Oh God, we're going for the tangent again.

So remind me about Robert F. Kennedy.

I want to finish his bloodbath story.

So Trump does have a talent.

I'll give him that.

He takes up, go wait.

So like fake news.

Do you know he didn't make that term up?

DAVE: I thought he did.

RON: The news agencies did.

DAVE: And he grabbed, RON: he took it back.

DAVE: Okay.

RON: And he just, fuck, yeah, yeah.

Attacked them with it.

And it was great.

So he has a, he has a knack for doing this.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: And so his bloodbath comment of the auto industry leaving, you know,

going to Mexico and people are like, oh, he's threatening to kill all of us.

So what does he do?

He is like, oh, Joe Biden's border policy is the blood.

It's going to be a bloodbath down there.

So he's like, oh, Joe Biden's border policy is going to be a bloodbath down there.

So he's turning it around.

I do dig that because I do like, I do like the fact that he does that.

So what else is my news?

I guess another, try to be somewhat comical.

I don't watch CNN and I really don't because you know, it's DAVE: Who does? RON: CNN,

but I was flipping through the guide on my cable.

I only got cable because my mom came to visit and I wanted to give her that

the one button push to watch TV.

I can't say anything more because she watches this.

But it was just more simple for her and I really wanted her to watch TV.

I'm at work and my wife and I are at work, but I was going to the guide and

they have the weekends they have TV shows and movies.

DAVE: Yeah? RON: Is that always been that way?

DAVE: Oh, CNN? RON: Yeah. DAVE: I have no idea.

I don't I don't think so.

RON: So I'm wondering if CNN's going to go the way of MTV.

You know, like back in the 80s and 90s, they play music.

DAVE: Right. RON: They don't play music anymore.

DAVE: Right. RON: So is is CNN.

What is that? What is it?

Say for something news.

That is the cable news network.

So is it cable news network channel going to be showing like round the clock

Seinfeld episodes now?

DAVE: Maybe I'll start watching it.

RON: Oh, it would be good.

I actually like Seinfeld.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: You know, yeah, there was just DAVE: No soup for you!

RON: No soup for you or Kramer when he was swimming in the East River and then he

tried to do like a perfume or a cologne smell like the East River.

So yeah, you saw that was kind of funny that they're often they, you know,

at least on the weekends, they're off the news and comedy and movies and stuff.

So you know, like, OK, well, let's do the two TV shows on Saturday, Sunday.

Let's do Mondays now?

Because you know, ratings are low on Mondays and they pretty soon it's going

to be cable news network is all TV shows.

DAVE: Nice. Maybe it'll be like the HBO.

Like they'll have a new Game of Thrones type of type of thing on CNN.

You got to tune into CNN, man.

It's a Game of Thrones season, season 12.

RON: I mean, I wonder if I go back to the story that I talked about last week

about a duct tape and Don Lemon to a missile.

Maybe they'll do a TV show about that.

DAVE: That would be nice.

RON: Will we launch him or not?

Stay tuned.

Come back after this commercial break because we might light the fuse

and send Don Lemon into space because I really want Don Lemon to go to space.

Duck tape to a missile.

I think that would be awesome.

I'd watch CNN just for that.

DAVE: Of course.

RON: You guys want good news ratings?

Fucking launch Don Lemon into space.

So then.

Oh yeah, the who so so.

I can let me see it.

I said they are they're fighting it and you know, and other states are not yet.

We really need to the hell was my other story.

Oh, well, this is this is this is just another quick story.

So running for political office.

I've been kind of going to like some of these trying to get endorsements.

I say that and I laugh because I'm a libertarian.

No one's going to endorse us.

But there was a it was a it was an open meeting for all candidates

go to the unions here in the Vegas Valley.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Holy shit

are they woke.

No, no, dude.

They are woke really bad.

DAVE: It's not surprising.

RON: What the fuck?

DAVE: I mean, they vote for Democrats.

Democrats put the leaders and then they pushed the wokeness.

RON: Yeah.

So yeah, I was I was just I ended up walking out.

I mean, I realized that because I because there was a guy up there

speaking and he was he was probably roughly my age and he was, you know,

he had a good personality.

He was kind of funny.

So I'm like, you know, I'm going to talk to this guy and I walked out

afterwards.

I'm like, Hey, do I even have a chance?

He's like, Yeah, I don't know.

You do you.

We're good.

We we we spread our money out to different candidates that wants a back

house and I'm like, dude, my dad was union.

My wife is union.

I was union Chicago.

I you know, I and I and even after living here, I got I teeter with

the union thing.

But I may have mentioned this before I don't know, but because I don't

focus.

But

the corporate the companies are so greedy right now that you almost

need a union to get all the union jobs in Valley are getting good big

raises.

DAVE: I mean, RON: the cops, the teachers, the fire.

DAVE: Well, that sounds to me like the unions are greedy.

RON: Well, they're getting more money for the people to pay the bills.

I mean, because DAVE: But that money's got to come from somewhere.

There's not like this big pile of money and and like groups get to grab

at it.

RON: No, I agree.

But I mean, the price is already up, but we have to live in this Valley.

And when I first moved here, if you made a hundred grand, you were

you're comfortable.

That's long gone.

DAVE: Well, I don't make a hundred grand.

I'm pretty comfortable.

RON: Oh, yeah.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Okay.

But you're hacking people though.

Like threatening people.

DAVE: That's that's false.

I deny all these things.

RON: I could be wrong.

But it's just it's a tough city to work in right now with with pay.

But yeah, I mean, I go back and forth with this because I think corporate

responsibility should come back.

It's gone.

It's long gone.

You should pay your workers a fair way so they don't have to unionize.

That that's the one.

DAVE: I mean, ultimately, all all money that gets paid to anyone comes from the

customer, right?

RON: Yep.

DAVE: If the customer is not willing to buy the product, then you can't pay the

workers the wage.

RON: So if you heard the new minimum wage in Nevada, going up? DAVE: Nevada?

Yeah, I know California went to 20 for fast food.

RON: We're going to 12.

DAVE: Well, okay.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: It's but it's what is it now?

RON: Like nine.

DAVE: That's a big jump.

RON: Yeah, but it's it's tier.

It's gonna sort of start working its way up.

DAVE: I mean, like I don't think anyone in Clark County is making less than

that, but with some of these rural counties are getting fucked.

RON: Yeah.

You know, I didn't look into it that much.

I wonder if it is regionally based.

DAVE: Oh, it's possible.

RON: I mean, Washoe and Clark should, you know, we could go up to that.

And the other counties that I mean, there's like five of the counties, but

they're really fucking huge.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Isn't like Nye counties, like the biggest county in the country?

DAVE: Maybe.

I don't know.

RON: It's huge.

And I kind of get huge.

DAVE: I think we should get rid of the minimum wage.

Ban it all.

RON: No, I I I whole hardly agree with you.

I think that there there should be because it's not reality.

You know, the McDonald's right now, you're making more than minimum wage.

DAVE: Right.

RON: You're making more than $12 an hour.

DAVE: Right.

RON: The gas station down the street, they're paying $15.

DAVE: All you gotta do is be on time and like don't fucking slack off.

RON: So let let let the free market direct the wage that I that I agree with.

But then you've got these greedy corporations who are trying to pay

people as little as possible.

DAVE: Well, yeah, but you as a customer are trying to pay as little as possible.

RON: Oh, see, DAVE: that's why I go to Costco.

Instead of Walmart or RON: And you know what's funny Costco actually pays their employees pretty well.

DAVE: Right.

RON: Yeah, it's corporate greed.

No, it really is.

DAVE: I mean, I don't it's not that simple.

RON: You don't think so?

DAVE: No, everyone's greedy all the time.

RON: No DAVE: Everyone always has been greedy all the time.

Like there's nothing there's nothing special about April 2024 where people are more greedy

now than ever before.

No, we get this goofy ass distortion in the markets because government controls the money.

We don't have real money.

Right.

We actually we're going to talk about gold today, but we kind of just lost all that.

And I'm going to talk about Monero later, which is another form of real money, but we don't use real money in the United States.

Right.

We use this fake fiat currency that the government just says this has value and we just believe them and they can print it up at no cost to them.

So when you could do that, I mean, imagine if you had a counterfeiting machine here in your garage, right?

Like you wouldn't go to work anymore.

Why would you go to work?

You can just print all the money you want.

And would you stop at, you know, a reasonable wage for yourself?

Would you stop at 100,000?

No, you would you'd find other reasons.

Well, I could use that new Maserati.

Maybe I should get a new house.

RON: But I pay cash for that then because they track our purchases.

DAVE: Well, but you have a money printing machine.

Who cares?

RON: Right.

So does that pay cash?

I've all could do Maserati.

DAVE: Well, that's not how the government does it.

They just insert it into a bank computer.

Right.

So instead of saying you had a machine, let's say you could you could hack the bank and add zeros to your account anytime you want.

And they would never catch you.

RON: Can you seriously hack banks?

DAVE: I don't answer questions like that.

RON: I guess the credit cards I need to have to take care of.

DAVE: Well, that's what the government does, though.

No, they add a zero to the bank account and then everything goes up in price.

Well, gee, how did that happen?

RON: Huh.

DAVE: So we need to get rid of this fiat currency is what we need to do.

RON: I like that.

Okay.

Not digital currency, though.

We don't want to do that.

DAVE: Well, I mean, Bitcoin is digital.

Monero is digital.

RON: Yeah.

But I mean, as a whole with the government controlling it, DAVE: the government should not be involved in currency whatsoever.

RON: Really?

DAVE: Other than other than maybe saying, yeah, we can verify that this coin is one ounce of gold.

RON: Oh, so we're digging down to your libertarianism.

I mean, like, ultimately, I want no government involvement at all.

But if we're going to gradually step back, that's the only function they have according to the Constitution.

RON: Huh.

Well, we already know Congress only really has like three responsibilities as as as government.

DAVE: It has a few more than that, RON: but it's what it was like, keep our keep our country safe, keep the roads smooth and keep the water good, which they failed it pretty much all the way.

DAVE: Well, they're allowed to do like post offices and interstate commerce, which apparently means everything these days.

RON: But everything else they do, we allow them to do.

DAVE: Right.

RON: So I mean, we really need to kind of get them into check.

The last story I want to talk about.

We're kind of deep in show already is a it's a move that Congress is making right now and they're and they're working with NATO on this.

They're trying to pass a bill that would they call it Trump proof.

Uh, uh, money to Ukraine.

They want to guarantee a hundred billion dollars to Ukraine over the next 10 years and he would be unable to stop it.

DAVE: How does it make sense?

RON: Instant impeachment, if he does it.

DAVE: Yeah, but.

RON: That's our government, folks.

What I mean, does it really shock you?

DAVE: This is so stupid.

RON: You've got Republicans hiding under the desk.

You got Democrats running a muck, possibly raping kids.

My opinion, I could be wrong.

DAVE: I mean they voted to ban TikTok.

Why not vote for this too?

RON: Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's literally, I mean, I love the fact, you know, that we weather all storms as Americans.

We do.

Eventually the storm is going to get too hard for the weather.

DAVE: Well, that's why we have the show so we can teach people how to RON: the canary is gone.

If you see that canary flying out or dead, the country's over people.

I hate to tell you that.

That that that's our, what do you

What the fuck do you call that?

DAVE: The canary in the cage?

RON: I know the warning.

The DAVE: it's a canary in the cage.

RON: It's getting the cage canary is dead.

People were done.

Pay attention when you vote really.

And Gen Z, you don't want to go to war.

Get don't vote for Biden.

I mean, yeah, if you don't want to Trump, I get it.

He's scary and he he sends me tweets and says rough words vote for Kennedy.

I don't care.

So look, look on Kennedy.

Did he just seal his deal with the libertarian party by his VP pick?

DAVE: I don't think he had a chance with us anyway.

RON: No, no, I agree.

But are we still gonna allow him to come to the convention after the VP?

DAVE: I don't think we can block him from going like anyone can come to the convention.

RON: Really?

DAVE: I think so.

RON: They have to be invited.

DAVE: No, you as a delegate.

Yes.

But if you go on the website, you can just buy tickets.

RON: Oh, no, no, but as a president or candidate to like, DAVE: I don't know how the process

where you have to read the bylaws.

RON: Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's just his VP pick.

Do you know it's Nicole?

DAVE: I can't pronounce her name.

RON: Yeah, I'm gonna try it, but I mean, I'm a I'm kind of looking into this because

I dig Kennedy.

I do dig Kennedy a bit.

I will never vote for him.

I don't support.

I don't believe he changed his gun policies at the age of 65.

I think he's just saying that to get votes, but he might he's been pulling back on some

of his stuff that he was saying that appealed to me.

He's going back to move his hardcore extreme stuff.

To I'm getting really close to make another prediction.

DAVE: Yeah?

RON: He's gonna say I'm not making it yet because I'm still looking into it.

I think he's going to win California.

DAVE: He's gonna RON: In the presidential election.

He's gonna take California.

I'm close to making that prediction.

I know I know I get shit all the time.

DAVE: I don't know.

RON: Okay, but that's hold on a second.

So this Nicole, Nicole girl, women woman.

Sorry.

Maybe another similar gender.

I don't know what she is.

DAVE: Chick.

RON: I mean, whatever.

DAVE: That's right.

I said it.

RON: Yeah.

She's extremely wealthy and she has a bunch of rich friends.

DAVE: Okay.

RON: And she's in the tech industry in the Bay Area.

DAVE: Okay.

RON: So the we're actually going to deal with this with my water rights stuff with Oregon,

but you do know California is actually a really cool state and it's really not that crazy.

If you were to remove the Bay Area and LA and the cities around LA.

DAVE: Right.

RON: It'd be a red state.

It always has been.

DAVE: Right.

RON: So she might take, she might be able to get all the votes in the Bay Area.

Maybe some LA votes.

DAVE: I don't know.

I mean, they're like the thing about Democrats is they are fucking united.

You know, they, they get their house in order.

RON: I mean, but technically Kennedy is a Democrat.

DAVE: Right.

But RON: and they, and they pushed them out of the party.

DAVE: I don't think these people like they're going to, they're going to, it's going to come down to it.

Like even if they loudly say yes, vote Kennedy, when it comes down to it, they're going to vote for Biden.

They're going to say, we can't risk losing to Orange Man.

We're going to vote for Biden.

RON: I don't know.

I mean, I'm, I'm trying to surf through all this stuff with her.

I mean, I mean, the money that she brings to the, to his party is.

DAVE: I mean, that doesn't mean anything.

When you're an independent, it just doesn't mean shit.

Like we can't, you know that when Ross Perot like fucked up, what was it 94 or 92 RON: 94?

DAVE: When he screwed with that election, they changed the rules for independents.

RON: Right.

DAVE: To make that never happen again.

RON: Well, they've changed rules for libertarians as well.

DAVE: Right.

RON: Cause it used to be like 12% now of the popular vote.

Now it's 15%.

But he's pulling the high numbers.

DAVE: I don't know.

I mean, I don't know what that means.

So one thing that's that I'm wondering is like Trump's ahead in polls, right?

But, but polls have always skewed Democrats.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: So are they just like giving people this false sense of Trump's winning?

Like cause it's all bullshit.

Like these Trump, these polls are all bullshit.

No, no science behind them.

They don't reveal their sources, reveal their data.

It's all just made up.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: So they could just lie.

RON: Well basically the question they ask and how they ask them.

DAVE: Why do you think they're calculating the results in some manner that makes

sense?

RON: Yeah, I just, I just DAVE: why do they even ask questions?

They could just make up whatever they want.

RON: Well, they, I mean, I, DAVE: Have you ever been polled?

I've never been polled.

RON: No.

So ever since I started running for office, I started two years ago and I get all

kinds of polls.

Here's the funny thing.

I, the, I get, I get a call like, uh, you've got a few minutes.

I got some questions to ask you about the upcoming election.

But yeah, I do.

And the guys like, uh, uh, what, what party do you recognize?

And I go, well, I'm a libertarian.

He goes, Oh, okay.

Well, thank you very much.

We're done.

DAVE: No one's ever called me.

No one calls me.

I only get spam emails.

RON: You probably have like some weird blocker on your phone.

Like some, DAVE: no, I would get the number.

I would get, I would see that somebody called and I rejected it, but nobody calls.

RON: I know I, I, cause I, I do, I do get all these calls that I've been having fun

with them because you know, I'm like, well, I'm a libertarian and I'm running for

office.

Does that match?

Can I do I count the polls?

Now, DAVE: right?

RON: Cause, uh, we'd Brandon Davis was running for governor.

I'm like, what about Brandon Davis?

So I go, we don't see his name on the list.

I'm like, well, he's a libertarian, but then later on his name was on the list.

So he was tick it up.

Um, but again, when you vote to the person, when you, uh, I'm sorry, count the

ballots till the person you win wants to win wins, then you stop counting.

I mean, no, I mean, seriously, it's, it's, yeah.

I mean, I am a, I'm, I'm a election denier.

I don't think the election took place.

No, no, I don't.

I don't think I'm an election denier.

So did it really take place?

And if you walk into a building, you punch it, you push it all buttons.

Did you really vote?

DAVE: Well, they're supposed to have poll watchers that like watch the counting

and stuff.

RON: Well, yeah, but I, but I don't believe Joe Biden actually got 84 or 82 million

votes.

So I'm an election denier.

So I have to believe the election never happened.

Maybe it didn't because that's the term they used.

Holy shit.

This went a little crazy on us.

Let's, uh, do you want to go first with your stuff?

DAVE: I can go first.

I got a lot to get through, I guess.

Um, so last week we talked about cryptocurrency in general.

What is crypto?

Why is it different than other currencies?

Um, and today I want to talk about Monero, which is my currency of choice.

RON: Um, you freely admit that?

I don't hit everything.

DAVE: I don't have any Monero.

I just really like it.

Um, so the first cryptocurrency was Bitcoin.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: It's the one that everybody talks about.

It's always in the news.

What's the price of Bitcoin?

Blah, blah, blah.

Um, now it Bitcoin to me is like a prototype.

So if you remember back in the nineties, we had America online, AOL and

hey, now that's gone.

What happened?

Right?

Well, but they were the first big thing and they kind of showed, uh, you know,

what's possible with the internet?

What can you do?

But they didn't, they didn't really get it down to the final form that it is today.

So that's how I feel about Bitcoin.

Right.

Bitcoin is this prototype that, you know, they said, oh, they showed you that

the basic features can work.

Okay.

So now what do we do from there?

Right.

What can, what else can we do?

Um, so one of the big problems of Bitcoin, I believe I mentioned this last

week, uh, is that when you spend some Bitcoin, everyone can see how much you

have in that wallet, where, where your money comes from, where it goes.

All that shit.

Uh, so Monero, uh, something that solves that problem.

Um, so when you spend Monero, only the person you gave it to knows who you

are and how much was sent.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: The rest of the network only knows that some transaction happened.

RON: Something happened somewhere.

DAVE: Yeah.

Okay.

And it knows how to verify it, but it doesn't know how the details of it.

And I don't know the specifics of how this works.

It's very complicated math.

Um, but super smart guys are working on it and I trust them enough to feel

that it actually works.

Um, so I guess why is this important?

Um, so we want to talk about what, what is money right in general?

What is money?

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: Um, so there's, there's seven qualities that, that something needs to be a good

money.

Okay.

So it needs to be generally accepted.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, needs to be portable so you can carry around with you.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Uh, needs to be durable so it can't be, you know, destroyed or, or damaged very

easily, uh, needs to be divisible.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: So you can, you know, make change essentially.

Um, it needs to be fungible.

Uh, so fungible means RON: Fun? DAVE: Fungible.

RON: Oh fungible, not fun.

DAVE: Yeah.

So fungible means you can't tell the difference between one element and another.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So if you have two $1 bills, you can't really tell a difference.

Although they do have serial numbers.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Um, but no, I get it.

DAVE: Fungible means in principle, you can't.

So, so two different gold atoms, you know, you switch hands, you can't tell

the difference.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, it needs to be recognizable.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So I need to like see you having it and say, Oh yeah, that's money.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: I can take that.

DAVE: Uh, and then it has to be stable, uh, with respect to other goods and services.

RON: Well, yeah, but you're, is that all of them?

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Also, you're missing one.

DAVE: What am I missing?

You gotta be able to roll it up and be able to sort cocaine.

DAVE: Oh, well Monero doesn't do that for you.

RON: I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, that's right.

Okay.

I don't do coke.

Sorry.

I mean, my mom watches this.

I don't, I don't, I'm just kidding.

I don't do drugs.

I do.

DAVE: Uh, so, so stable means that the price of other goods and services in, in the money

doesn't go crazy.

So you can expect that if, if steak was 10 bucks last week, it'll be 10 bucks

again this week or $10 and a penny or whatever.

Um, so, uh, and, and the fungible one is the real important one, uh, that, that

Bitcoin lacks.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So because I can look at your spend and trace it all the way back to when it was

mined, it's not fungible, right?

I can tell it different from, from another Bitcoin.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: But with Monero, because I can't do that, it's essentially fungible.

RON: I love that word.

I'm sorry.

He's like, I smile.

I think of fun.

I, because I'm so ADD, I hear the word fun and I stop right there.

But okay, fungible.

It looks like I eat it or something.

DAVE: Right.

So, so Monero has most of these qualities.

Um, generally accepted.

Obviously you can't go down to your grocery store and pay with Monero at the

moment.

Um, but it is the currency of choice on the dark web.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So, um, people do sell illegal goods and services there and Monero is pretty

much the only thing they accept.

So RON: Really? DAVE: it is sort of generally accepted, uh, in certain spheres.

RON: So it's sponsored by the dark web.

DAVE: Kind of.

RON: Okay.

No, I get it.

DAVE: Um, it is portable.

Like if you have a crypto seat on your USB drive, you take it with you.

ROIN: You're just smiling out here.

DAVE: Or you can put it on a piece of paper.

Take it with you.

It's portable.

RON: That's awesome.

DAVE: Um, it's durable Monero last forever.

Just like Bitcoin, just like any other cryptocurrency.

They're all equally durable, which is infinite.

Um, it's divisible up to 12 decimal places.

I want to say.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So very, very divisible.

I mean, the smallest unit of Monero is worth 10 to the minus 15 cents.

I think RON: Seriously?

That's actually, that's an actual like number.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Well, numbers are just infinite numbers.

RON: Yeah, but it's zero to the overhang of the yellow and the blue and of course.

DAVE: Um, it's, I mean, it's recognizable, right?

If you have a Monero wallet and someone sends you Monero, you know, right away.

You got the Monero.

RON: Cool.

DAVE: Your wallet will just ping you and say, Hey, you got some Monero.

Um, it's mostly stable.

It's actually one of the most stable, uh, cryptocurrencies.

Um, I think right now it's around 135 bucks for one Monero.

Uh, and it kind of hovers between 120 and 150 and it doesn't really stray too

much out of that range.

So if you bought, you know, a gram of whatever the fuck you buy on the dark web

for one Monero last week, it's probably going to cost about one Monero next week.

RON: It's like a gram of oregano.

DAVE: Yeah.

Oregano.

RON: Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

DAVE: Um, so Monero itself, it's an open source project.

Like I'm always saying you got to make sure it's open source RON: with no backdoor.

DAVE: Right.

RON: Oh, sorry.

Um, backdoor is funny to me because it's different meanings.

I don't know what you're talking about because like it's links.

My story to your story.

But backdoor.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: But okay.

DAVE: Uh, it's private and untraceable, right?

So again, you spend Monero, no one knows what your account is, what's in that

account, where, what goes to and from that account.

RON: Huh.

DAVE: Um, so it uses proof of work to prove the spends.

Um, so proof of work is basically you solve a math puzzle to prove that you sent Monero.

So, so some cryptos actually they do what's called proof of stake.

And what that means is the rich people decide if you can send money or not.

And it's, and people, they, they claim they switch to it to save energy because

you know, solving these math puzzles takes a lot of energy.

It sends your CPU to 100% and use RON: Math problems

make my head hurt.

DAVE: Well, but if you don't do the math problem, you can't prove the value was sent.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So, uh, I think my opinion, proof of work is very important.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um,

so there's a new Monero block every two minutes.

Uh, so Bitcoin is every 10 minutes.

So that means, uh, if I send you some Bitcoin, you have to wait 10 minutes to,

to know that I sent it to you.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: The time on Monero is two minutes.

So it's a lot more reasonable for if you're out shopping.

RON: So you need your oregano a lot quicker.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, so another, another goofy phrase I'm going to say it's called, uh, is ASIC

resistance.

RON: Um, okay.

DAVE: So, so an ASIC is a specialized computer that solves one kind of math problem

only.

So think about a, uh, your video card in your, in your desktop.

So that all that does is do video related math.

RON: All right.

DAVE: Okay.

And then in the general computer just does all it can do any problem.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Uh, so, so Bitcoin, it uses, um, I believe it's called RSA hashes.

Um, that's just a specific math problem.

RON: Not gonna argue that.

DAVE: Uh, and they have, they have these ASICs that only do this math problem

and they're expensive.

They're only made in certain factories.

Uh, so you can't just go down to Home Depot and buy one.

Um, and this kind of makes it harder for people to actually mine Bitcoin.

Um, and it's, it's a choke point that the government can crack down on.

So they can say, Oh, uh, you have to register your ASIC.

You have to have a license to use an ASIC because you can't just make

an ASIC in your, in your garage.

RON: Right.

DAVE: So Monero is designed to run on general purpose computers.

RON: Oh, okay.

DAVE: So you can't make an ASIC to run Monero to crack Monero.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, so that means the government can't block you from mining Monero.

Right.

If you want to mine Monero on this laptop, you can sweet.

Now you're going to get like a couple pennies, but because you're competing

against the whole world, right?

RON: But it's pennies now, but it, but it, DAVE: yes, but it's,

it's something they can't prevent you from doing, right?

Cause you can just go down to any, any computer store by any kind of computer

and bring it home in mine Monero and, and nobody can monitor you doing that.

RON: That's so confusing the hell on me, but I, but I'll go ahead.

DAVE: So, uh, one of the other big issues about Bitcoin is, uh, the block size.

So every 10 minutes there's a block and that's where all the transactions are.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: It's just a list of transactions.

Um, but, um, the Bitcoin block size is limited to, I believe four megabytes.

So if you can't fit more transactions in that block, you just got to wait.

So instead of 10 minutes, now you got to wait 20 minutes and maybe 30 minutes

cause maybe your fee was too low and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

So Monero has a variable block size.

So if the Monero network starts getting clogged up because more people are using

it, uh, the block size will, will dynamically grow to incorporate all those

transactions.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So maybe you'll have to wait four minutes, but it's never going to go to 10

minutes or 20 minutes or an hour.

RON: So fuck Bitcoin.

Okay.

DAVE: Bitcoin is, it has its uses, but money is not one of them.

Let's put it that way.

Um, and then the last important thing that differentiates Monero, uh, it's

what's called a tail emission.

Okay.

So remember I said Bitcoin, uh, once it reaches 21 million Bitcoins, that's

it.

You're, there's no more Bitcoins.

So Monero, uh, will actually produce, uh, 0.6 Moneros every two minutes forever.

RON: Sure.

DAVE: So, uh, the reason that's important, uh, let's say, uh, you're a Bitcoin guy

and you lose your keys.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Right now that Bitcoin is just gone forever.

RON: No, no, there's been stories of guys are throwing.

DAVE: Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, now obviously the same thing happens if you lose your Monero keys, but the

whole ecosystem isn't effective.

Because there's more Monero coming out.

RON: Oh, right.

DAVE: So, so in theory, Bitcoin, everyone could lose their Bitcoin and then there's

no more Bitcoin.

RON: Oh, okay.

DAVE: But with Monero, if everyone today lost their Monero, there'd still be more tomorrow.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, and, and people say, Oh, that's inflationary.

Well, it's not inflationary because it's a constant amount.

RON: Okay.

People on the internet?

DAVE: Yes.

People in the internet.

So with the dollar, right?

They produce exponentially more dollars.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: So that's what's inflationary. With Monero,

It's a constant.

So the inflation rate right now it's about 1.6%, but next year it'll be 1.4

and then it'll be 1.2 and then it'll go to zero over time.

So it's not inflationary people do your math.

Um, so how do we get into Monero?

That's the big question.

RON: Very good question.

DAVE: So I, I, I'm convinced.

How do I get Monero?

Right.

Okay.

So first thing you want to do is get a wallet.

Um, the three I recommend are, um, well, the two I recommend are the core

wallet, which is the Monero project, their own code.

Uh, it's at getmonero.org.

It'll be on our website.

Um, they have a command line version.

They have a, uh, a GUI version.

Um, and it does everything you need to do, uh, but it only runs on the computer.

So if you want to have a mobile version, uh, the one I prefer is called cake wallet.

Um,

they do have a, uh, a nice gift card feature.

So you can, you can buy gift cards with your Monero and you don't got to give

them your name or your address or any bullshit.

Uh, then you can spend those gift cards at actual retailers.

RON: Oh shit.

DAVE: Yeah.

Um, so now like what if, what if you don't want to buy Monero?

What if you want to mine Monero?

Right.

Like I mentioned, you go buy a computer, you buy mine Monero.

Uh, there's a project out there called gupax, G-U-P-A-X.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, and what it does is it downloads, uh, I believe four pieces of software that

are needed to mine Monero.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: And it sets it all up for you.

You just press go and you know, you come back the next day when everything's

all set up and you're mining Monero.

RON: So if you're mining Monero, do you need a canary in the cage?

DAVE: No.

Oh, cause you're not actually in a cave.

You're actually, well, that's how you mine.

DAVE: Oh, I am.

Okay.

I see you.

I see you.

I see you.

I see you.

I see you.

I see you.

RON: I know it's annoying.

DAVE: It's a terrible, terrible joke.

Um, so the other thing I would mention, uh, so there's a guy out there and his

name is XMRvsBeast and XMR is the symbol from Monero and I'm like, okay.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So, and, and like this guy, he gives away free mining power to people, but he

does it as a, as a raffle.

RON: Oh, okay.

DAVE: So yeah.

So you go to his website.

It's xmrvsbeast.org.

I believe the link will be on the website.

RON: So, okay.

I'm not going to remember that.

DAVE: Right.

Um, so what you do is you, once you have your wallet all set up and your

Gupac's running and my, your mining, you go to his website and you sign up

for his raffle and, um, you can either just be for free tickets in which case

your chances of winning are like one and 200.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: It depends on how many other people are playing.

RON: Right.

DAVE: Um, or you can actually donate to the raffle and then the more you donate, the

more chances you get to win.

But because he is donating himself, it's like every time you win, it's, it's

big payouts.

Oh, I mean, I don't want to say big because depending on what your definition

of big is, but it's, it's free hash rate.

So like there's no reason to not do it.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Yeah.

So if you, if you want to mine, if you, you know, go get that computer at Costco,

bring it home and start mining.

RON: You did a call back.

DAVE: Okay.

Jo, join the XMR VS beast raffle.

Um, and he actually, uh, on his website, he has a link to Gupax, which

will sign you up for the raffle automatically.

So I mean, it's all, we're working on this shit real hard.

Uh, everything's, you know, super user friendly.

Um, you go to the chat room, you report bugs and they get it done real quick.

If they're nice.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, so there's two other ways to get Monero or not two, but there's a lot,

but the two that I prefer other than mining, um, obviously you can trade for it.

Right.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So now, um, Bitcoin, you could go on any of these coinbase, uh, Binance,

whatever, and they all sell Bitcoin, but none of these places will sell Monero

because Monero is for criminals, right?

Um, but you don't want to buy Monero at these places anyway, cause you gotta

give them your ID.

You gotta give them your address and your social security number.

So, so how would like the way to do this with avoiding that is peer to

peer exchanges.

Uh, and there's, and there's two primary ways to do that.

Uh, one is called localmonero, it's a website.

Uh, it basically, uh, hooks up buyers and sellers that want to meet in person

or, or use Zelle or, you know, cash app or whatever.

Um, and you would, uh, you know, make deals with those people to buy your Monero.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Um, and they have a reputation system.

So you, you know that, you know, this guy's made 500 successful trades.

He's not going to screw you over.

RON: So, you know, you, you some trust in that.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: Uh, and the other one I really like is called bisq, which is BISQ.

Again, it'll be on the website.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: Um, and this is an app.

So actually you've seen it, right?

This is what this thing is going to be.

RON: You can use your phone.

If it's an app?

Okay.

DAVE: Uh, well, it doesn't work on the phone.

It's only for, uh, desktop.

Um, but it's an automated trading system, kind of like E trade, right?

Where you, where you get software and you just buy and sell yourself.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: Um, and it also, it supports, uh, other cryptocurrencies as well.

So you can, instead of buy Monero with dollars, you can buy it with Bitcoin or

buy it with Ethereum or whatever you, I mean, like you go on bisq and you surf

through the offers and pick which one is best for you and you can set your own

offers.

RON: Oh, okay.

DAVE: Yeah.

So get all this software.

I mean, it's the stuff is amazing.

Um, and, uh, the last thing I want to announce is that we're doing a Monero

giveaway.

RON: No way.

DAVE: That's right.

We're going to, RON: what?

DAVE: We're going to give away a 0.01 Monero, uh, which is about a dollar, something,

a dollar and change.

RON: So if you want a dollar, DAVE: but in Monero, RON: but it can grow.

DAVE: That's right.

It can grow.

Um, so the first person that comes into our matrix chat room and posts

a Monero sub address, which is the address that starts with 8.

Uh, you'll get 0.01 Monero.

RON: Now am I eligible to apply?

DAVE: No.

Actually, yes, you are.

Oh, because I have DAVE: no, no, no, no, you're not because you can do it now before

we're aired.

RON: Oh, I got that.

But I have no clue.

Starts with an 8.

What?

You really think I could crack that code?

DAVE: Hey, whoever, whoever wants.

RON: I'll stay out of it.

I'll stay out of it.

DAVE: Monero.

I don't, you know, I don't want to come in the matrix room.

RON: No, that's kind of fun.

It's a fun thing to do.

DAVE: Yeah.

RON: I think it's really fun.

DAVE: I think I'm going to do like challenges every week for this.

RON: Oh, look at that.

Now we're really kind of getting into this.

DAVE: Oh yeah.

That's my whole spiel on Monero.

RON: Soon we might even have a call-in show or something.

We might, we're getting up there with those zoos.

The morning zoos.

It's a fart jokes and some, some weird sounds and yeah.

DAVE: We have a sound board.

RON: We have a whole sound board.

But I had that.

I just don't know.

I do, but if I can hook it up and I plug it in and it's, you

know, it doesn't light up and I get mad.

I throw it and if you're not, DAVE: if you're not convinced to switch

to Monero, then, you know, I don't know.

RON: But I mean, you know, seriously folks, check it out.

Try it.

You might get some in there and then that might spark.

You become a millionaire.

I don't know.

DAVE: You can become a dark web merchant, you know, RON: look at you.

You could be selling like your socks on the dark web.

DAVE: You know, we've taught you how to get onto I2P and Tor.

You know, and now you know how to use Monero like start selling

stuff on the dark web.

Maybe you, maybe you knit, you know, maybe you're a knitter.

RON: Maybe DAVE: Sell your things on the dark web.

RON: Maybe you're a savant with the dark web.

We just don't know it yet.

DAVE: There you go.

RON: Try it out.

See what you got.

DAVE: It's, it's, it's a virgin territory out there.

You know, go, go build your, your dream.

RON: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, say virgin.

I want the p, the p-diddler coming around.

DAVE: Oh God.

RON: Gotta do the p-diddler jokes.

We're getting really close to being way over an hour.

So I'm, I guess I've got to get this out.

So you are done, right?

I'm sorry.

DAVE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

RON: I jumped in.

Yeah, I, I, I, I did talk about, talk about prepper stuff.

And this kind of is related.

I kind of touched on this on a few other episodes and it's,

it's about water.

I didn't really want to drill down on, on water because it's,

you know, it comes from God to the earth and Mother Nature

gives it to us, but the government sells it to us.

But the state of Oregon is basically shutting down family farms

and anybody they can basically use the water rights.

So we have to stop this.

This is, this is, this is ridiculous.

So again, I think I said this before, look into your local

municipalities to see if you can get off the water grid.

I didn't never know I would say the word water grid,

but apparently there's a water grid.

If you're in a rural community, you're on a well, you know,

hopefully you'll, you won't be affected by this.

Although I did live in a rural town here in Nevada called

Pahrump.

I said, Pahrump, not Trump, Pah-rump.

And Pahrump is a, they, they kind of be the one of the, one

of the last wild West towns left in America.

And I don't argue that point with them because they got a

lot of guns, but the, the night County commissioner said,

oh, we're going to, we want to put meters on your well.

And everyone's like, [SHOTGUN RACKING SOUND] they didn't say words.

They just racked the shotgun and that should stop real quick.

Water is essential to us.

It is an necessity in our life.

And the fact that the governments are using that to control us.

You know, I've kind of already shown that they're using food

controls, but with water, we can grow our own food and we can

survive ourselves without them.

Um, so really look into, um, water, what your, your water rights

in your town or your state or your county or whatever else.

Uh, but also understand that you can, uh, well, I mean, there's

ways to game everything.

And again, I'm not trying to say do something illegal, but if

it's for you, necessary survival or if you sell out a farmer's

market and that's how you pay your bills, fuck the government for,

for trying to take that away from you.

I mean, seriously, um, I've got friends in Oregon and I really

haven't read, I haven't heard them talk about this yet because

this is kind of a new story.

Um, but no, it's, it's not right.

It's, it's, it's, it's wrong.

Um, you should be able to grow your own food and have your own water.

So if you don't want to, you know, so I was kind of thinking of

what can you do to have water storage on your property and not

have it be out for everybody to see.

And you know, I mean, yeah, there are water tanks and you can

bury them and there's different stuff you can do, but understand

if you have a crawl space or a basement, you get some six or eight

inch PVC with some nineties, you can really, um, store a lot of water.

Um, you can buy it from a trusted supplier and have them deliver it.

And it's probably gonna cost you more, but then you control it.

So it's, it's yours.

It's your water.

Um, the government can't take it away from you.

And the fact that they even try to take water away from us.

I mean, really?

I don't want to bust into a big rant because I'll blow this show

into a three hour show if I, if I go any further.

Um, but store your own water people.

DAVE: Um, I mean, that's just like getting bottled water at Costco.

RON: Yeah.

DAVE: I mean, that's better than nothing, right?

RON: Yeah.

I mean, we, we don't live without water.

Um, so let's, let's not let the government take that from us.

They're taking a lot from us right now.

So, um, with that being said, I think this might be a wrap for the show.

DAVE: Well, you know what you're going to talk about next week?

Uh, I like to give a little sneak preview.

RON: You know, actually, I don't, because I, I literally, I, I went down

this rabbit hole and conspiracy shit and different stories.

And, and I had a, I was kind of working on some other different stuff

for prepping.

And when I heard this, the story out of Oregon, uh, I kind of got worked up on

it and it's not a funny, it would not be a funny rant.

So I'm just going to stay off of it.

But, um, yeah.

DAVE: So I got an interesting one for next week.

RON: Oh, what do you got?

DAVE: So I'm actually going to do some low tech stuff.

RON: Oh, yeah.

DAVE: So it's not all going to be, you know, computer wizardry and stuff.

Um, there's, there's things you can do in your life.

Um, that aren't necessarily online, uh, that, that don't use computers

or electricity, um, but help you do the things that a computer normally does.

RON: Okay.

DAVE: So, you know, if the power goes out, you, you can still send encrypted

messages to people, for example.

RON: So you're going to tell us this after the world ends on Monday, the eighth?

DAVE: Well, yeah.

Sorry.

RON: Yeah.

I mean, you really should have kind of planned that out.

DAVE: I had to talk about Monero.

RON: Yeah.

But I mean, you know, Monero, I mean, the world ends on Monday.

We need a way to communicate to you.

I mean, cause I've already got my, my, uh, carrier pigeons and I'm training them

where to go.

DAVE: The government's buying on those.

RON: Oh, actually birds aren't real.

That's right.

I'm not saying birds aren't real, but I'm just saying if we're, DAVE: if we're

alive next week, low tech.

RON: So if, if this is not our last podcast, sure, a couple of you hoping

it is our last podcast, but fuck you.

Um, we will be back next week and I'm not going to give you a teaser cause

they really don't have one, but, uh, tune in next week to, uh, see what we got.

DAVE: See you.

All right.

America, uh, or the world, um, stay salty.

Love you.

Bye.

Yeah.
