Alright, welcome to the Canary in the Cage podcast. I'm Ron Morgan, I'm a co-host.
Dave Havlicek. We are here to entertain you, educate you, and hopefully make you laugh.
So what the fuck?
Yeah, I don't think there's anything to laugh about this week.
There's only one thing to talk about this week. I mean, we'll fill in some filler out
of the end of this, but, oh, I mean.
Well, it's not World War III yet.
Well, that's funny you mentioned that because the right wing podcasters are at war with
themselves. They're like one group is saying, World War III, World War III. The other one's
like, no, it's so big deal. So big. And I'm stuck in the middle going, he's gonna fake
it. He's lying. He's not gonna do anything. Apparently I was wrong.
You did something.
I thought he was bluffing. I thought he was like the whole Gaza Strip thing.
I'm surprised that there was less blowback from that than there was.
Well, okay, so remember when Trump first took office?
Yeah.
And we were doing a podcast and you called me out and said he's not anti-war and he
said a missile blew up a convoy.
Yeah.
Remember that?
Okay.
And I said, no, I disagree because that's that's peace through strength.
Yeah.
Well, no, no, because that because he went after a particular person or particular group.
Now, but I ran. I'm not happy about it.
I thought peace through strength even means.
Well, it's peace through strength means I'm walking down the street or to the teeth
like with my AR strapped on my shoulder and you don't fuck with me because I'm
carrying right now.
What you're describing is I pick a random person and I shoot them every once in a
while.
I mean, a missile out the guys ass and you're not a good guy.
He's not a nice guy, but like you can't just go around shooting people.
But I mean, if you would literally put the missile right up the butthole, it's like,
well, that's pretty fucking impressive.
I mean, so it doesn't matter whether it's impressive.
No, I mean, you gotta get credit to the military.
Oh, there was a woman on the flight to I did not have to get credit to the military.
Is I even that it's fucking like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Gummer.
They're making these things.
They put the military press the button.
That's all I do.
But they put the missiles right down the exhaust fan.
The air pressure and the private corporations make that shit.
No, I know.
But so I was wrong.
I actually got Trump is bluffing the entire time.
I thought he was pulling his, you know, I'm going to run for a third fucking office,
whatever.
But so I am not happy with attacking.
I ran because we attacked a country.
How is this not an active war?
It is.
It's just nobody cares.
Everyone's like, it's not an active war.
No, Pearl Harbor was an active war.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is an active war.
Luckily, we got no problem with it.
Well, not necessarily yet.
So I know like Russia has come out saying, uh, you run has no nukes, right?
Yeah.
But maybe we'll just give them some.
Yeah, Putin.
Yeah, he's got his hands full right now.
Well, okay, doesn't have to be Russia though.
So what else can give them nukes?
Oh, because China.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, if like this is fucking just.
Well, do they have nukes?
Who, China?
No, Iran.
Oh, no, no, actually not.
Well, not that we know.
I mean, if they had them, they think they would have made some kind of display of force with the room.
It's like they make the nuke and they, okay, nuke's ready.
Yeah, like, yeah.
But again, I guess they're not always on this podcast or the other podcasts we were on.
We get around.
Yeah, we're all over the place.
Um, if they had nukes and we bomb them because they have nuclear weapons.
Yeah.
That's why we bomb them.
Cause even when Trump ran for office, he said, I can't have that sounds really stupid.
That sounds like you see that guy walking down the street with the AR and you start taking shots at him with your nine millimeter.
Like that's fucking stupid.
Leave the guy alone.
But yeah, I mean, I don't, I mean, they're another country.
Well, I don't know why we're intervening in this.
Cause Israel, uh,
That's my problem.
It's a, we, we, we stup for Israel.
Israel owns Trump and they own the senators and they own, they, they,
Yeah.
If you want to hear about that, they own the fdm list.
Listen to Thomas Mass.
He's interviewed with Tucker.
He explains exactly how these politicians are paid off.
Uh,
They're just paid off as blackmail.
They're on the fdm list.
And, and Israel,
So where is the obscene list at?
It's in, it's in Israel.
Are you sure?
Maybe it was in that bunker.
No, I think it's in Israel.
No, I think it was in Iran in that bunker.
They're like, that's right.
Trump's got nuke,
That's why it's in Israel and that's why we have to protect Israel at all costs.
Ah,
So, and then now we're worried about terror cells.
Now are you worried about terror cells?
No.
See, once you're here like six months,
you know, you're like death to America, death to America.
And you're like,
fro, what is frozen yogurt?
And they're like, well, that was, that was good.
Death to America, death to America.
Margaret, Margaret, Margaret, Rita's?
Oh, that was good.
They're death to America, death.
Life nude women.
Got them, we got them.
They're Americanized.
Yeah, it's just not that hard, man.
Like, you know, it's, yeah, I don't understand.
And he's like, you get the call then.
Hey, uh, attack, attack.
Bomb all the balls.
This guy's like, uh, I, I bomb the balls.
I love the ball.
I, I've got brunch plans there tomorrow.
Right.
I can't blow that ball.
I can't blow myself off.
This is what I've been trying to explain to you with the illegals, right?
That there's no like secret Chinese cell of the, the illegals love it here.
No.
We're not going to do that.
It's the same thing.
Get them out.
It's the same argument.
Get them out.
No.
So yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I mean, if the peace agreement, so, so Trump broke into peace agreement between.
Allegedly.
Well, I mean, he technically did.
I know.
I ran with his launching missiles like right up like the last second.
I don't trust Israel like for one fucking second.
And now you can't trust Iran anymore because we basically fooled them, right?
Like we told them we're negotiating just chill out and then Israel sneak attacks them
and then Trump comes out and says, yeah, actually I was in on that.
See, so I would be trust Iran anymore to make Keith, their end of any bargain.
No, I agree.
I don't, I don't like what's going on.
I don't.
Yeah, it was, it was not the good moment for, for my view on Trump, but I still support him.
No, no, you gotta understand this is a lot of positive podcasts.
There's like legit attacking each other.
You said it was going to be World War three and it's not.
Yes.
I mean, like, yeah, again, like how, how soon after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand
did World War one actually start?
I don't know how long it was actually.
I don't know.
It was actually seven days, seven days and three hours.
Fuck out.
I know that.
I have to say, I don't know, but I'm sure it wasn't instant.
Right.
So you can't say, oh, we assassinated Archduke Ferdinand.
It's not World War one.
Yeah.
Wait, there was a World War one.
Yes.
Oh, really never started or just joking.
I don't even know what you think I responded with a different joke first and then I came back with that one
because I just thought of it.
I mean, I can't be, I can't be all like good, fresh jokes all the time.
I got to look this over up because this is actually interesting to me.
So he was assassinated on June 28th, 1914.
And when was World War one officially declared?
World War one was in August.
So it was like, it was like a month and a half.
Okay.
Well, no, okay.
So here's my problem.
I ran.
We either see I'm fucking doing it.
Israel either devastated them or they allow them to appear to be devastated.
Okay.
To attack back.
Yeah.
I'm kind of thinking it's the first and not the later the latter.
I mean, Israel owns the airspace over Iran right now.
Like their planes are flying around and they're bouncing it with the airsoft.
Yeah.
But like, you know, I mean, all you got to do is just get a heat seeker up there
and just start blowing that shit up.
I mean, it's not expensive because on a country level anyway.
Right.
No, yeah.
I can only afford one.
He's thinking, right.
I mean, if I was a country, I could have a whole bunch.
Right.
But my neighbor better watch out because I'm doing that thing right fucking in right now.
Tell me my grass is too goddamn long.
No, I just, I don't know.
I'm not really real excited about this, but we'll see.
I don't really, I don't have an opinion that I think I wish he would have done it.
I wish it was him.
I would have loved it, but was his negotiation point.
Like I'm going to send missiles down air shafts and blow up your nuclear facility.
It goes like, no, you can't do that.
I just want to say like you're all on your fucking home.
It's like we're done.
We're not supporting any side of this.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Any refugees that are like legit want to come over here and escape that
shit, they're welcome.
According to the media.
We're not going to welfare pay you.
You're welcome.
It cannot be white immigrants.
We cannot take white immigrants.
Apparently.
Look, if you want to pay your own way, good job.
You're welcome.
Leave your shit at home, right?
Leave your fucking beefs at home and then everybody else.
You can go kill each other.
I don't fuck.
You said come over as a refugee.
Yeah.
100% support that.
Sneaker across the border.
Not so much.
Well, if you make it so hard to come legally, then what do you expect?
I mean, it's fucking stupid.
Why do we have all these fucking rules and regulations?
Like, have you ever looked at how difficult it is to get into the country
legally?
It's absurd.
I mean, and that needs to be a and I actually hope this enlightens that and
changes that process.
Oh, I'm not likely.
Dude, we couldn't even get our in-laws to come.
Well, no, I'm a fucking citizen born here.
Born and raised.
Yeah.
I have no arrests.
I'm not like I'm fucking spotless, right?
And I said, I'm going to sponsor these people to visit us for a week or two.
And I said, no, you can't kick them.
Really?
Like what the fuck?
They couldn't get a travel.
No.
Hmm.
Like we're paying for everything.
What is this?
Yeah, no, no, I ridiculous that you actually very valid point on.
That's like the first one in a year and a half.
That's amazing, dude.
Okay.
No, yeah.
No, I agree.
The more the worse you make the rules, the more people are going to sneak in.
I follow these dumb ass rules.
No, no, Trump made it really easy.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, you did.
Wow, is that is it $50 million?
You have to invest in it.
Okay, sure.
Yeah.
So what's the fucking problem?
I thought it was five million.
It was only five million.
It's only five million.
Let me change it.
Okay.
Seeing five, it's only five million.
But that's where citizenship.
We're talking about a fucking tourist visa here.
Like what the fuck?
I had 25 bucks.
I said they wouldn't take 25 bucks.
They wouldn't take it.
It's absurd.
Like, no, you can't bring your relatives over for a two week vacation.
What the fuck?
Okay, so I always thought if an American citizen marries a non-citizen,
it's like instantaneous.
It's not.
It's you're right.
It took like six months or no, it took, um, it took like,
it took a couple months to get the green card.
Well, that's roughly instance.
Cause like you have to do the interview and whatever the fuck.
So that wasn't the hard part, but like you have to live for like
three years on the green card before you can apply for citizenship.
Okay, okay.
That's fair because it stops the bullshit marriages.
But they're supposed to do that at the interview.
That's what the interview is for.
Yeah.
No, I wish it was easier for people to come in legally.
I do.
And again, like that's citizenship.
My wife was already here.
She came here on her own legally before I met her.
So like that's not even the same.
Wait, you met her here?
Yes.
Oh, I always assumed that she was like in a third world country,
like with no food and water.
You're like, I got food and water.
No.
Come on.
No.
Come on.
Good girl.
That's why I always thought I'm just sorry.
I just, you know,
No, it's like the math.
And again, like we talked about this where like,
constitutionally, they have the right or the authority to say the
process of citizenship, right?
I think the constitution is bullshit.
But if you're going to go by that, that's in the documents.
Yeah.
But there's nowhere in that fucking document that says you can
black people from coming here.
It just doesn't say that.
That's weird.
I think because I never had a, well, I had a brief experience
with it when a friend of my wife's daughter married a guy from
Turkey.
Yeah.
And they got married in Mexico.
Yeah.
Oh, that's even probably worse though.
Oh, no, because in Mexico, the wedding, the marriage ticket is
honored here in America.
Okay.
So they do that.
It's honored for the parent purpose of marriage, but not necessarily.
But he still couldn't come over.
Now, I don't know how hard they were fighting.
They couldn't even come over.
It was weird.
Well, it's not you can fight like you apply and then just say,
No, like there's not, you can't do anything about it.
There's no appeals process.
No, you just got to apply again.
They're gonna say no again.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
All right.
Fuck it.
Swim across the river.
I mean, like my family all came here in like late 1890s or early 1900s,
right?
And they just showed up.
They said, here's my name and then you're okay.
You're in right?
There's no fucking apply.
There's no paying anything.
Like what the fuck?
Why can't we just do that?
Do you know how many last names were butchered?
Of course.
By L.S. Island.
Yeah.
There was like, oh yeah, what's this now?
Cause that's all I can spell.
Yeah.
I mean, how I can be Morgan's team?
I can be Jewish.
You know, wealthy would be.
Can you come here before L.S. Island?
Yeah, I think my favorite.
You guys are here before America even.
Yeah, I think.
Well, they actually made a joke about that in the Sopranos.
Did you ever watch the Sopranos?
Yeah.
So, it was one of the later seasons where one of the main villains was a Phil Leotardo.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
They, and yeah, and he was making a joke.
We're not a joke, but he was saying when my family came here, we were called Leonardo,
like Leonardo da Vinci and these L.S. Island motherfuckers changed it to Leotardo.
Like I'm a fucking ballet dancer.
You know, like go watch that show.
It's the best show I've made.
Okay, so I got that.
Well, we're going to do a spoiler alert.
What do you think of the ending?
Oh, it was, uh, it was fade to black.
Yeah.
It was, it was shocking at the time because I watched it live.
Right.
No, I didn't.
Yeah.
Um, and like apparently tons of people called HBO like, oh, you, you fucking
turned off the service when the show was at the end of the ending.
Like, and they had all these calls.
It was hilarious.
But no, I thought it was great.
Like because, okay, so Sopranos is one of those shows.
You cannot watch it once.
If you watch it once, like it's going to be great, but you're missing out on someone.
You'll see a lot of boobs and ass.
Well, so if you, if you, okay, if you watch the full series and then like a week later
immediately go back and do it again, you're going to see so much shit that like, oh,
now I get the fucking ending.
Yeah.
And I'm not going to spoil it beyond that, but like they, they knew it the whole,
the whole show, they knew it.
So I, and like they put little hits in there and, and when you watch it paying
attention, you're like, holy fuck, they, they planned that whole thing.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Now I get it.
It's funny when the Sopranos were popular.
I was a, I was taking a class in my union hall and some Italian guys were like, I
don't know, I don't get that show.
We're Italian.
Does it mean we want to be seen on TV?
I'm like, well, of course you don't want to be seen on TV because we don't want
to watch your dumbass.
Family.
This is made up.
Take it because that's the thing people take a TV show.
They think, well, that's real life because you mentioned that I didn't know
people called in and said you cut the service.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Cause it's no, that's not even done before.
I could one up you on that one.
Yeah.
Gilligan's Island.
People were calling the network going, why don't you just save those people?
Why don't you just get them off the island?
Now that was the Harlan Grove triers.
Exactly.
Something in the coconut phone and it's in a rough fucking boat.
No, I mean.
The other thing I want to say about the Sopranos is so like when they make a TV
show now, right, because it releases on Netflix where people binge, they release
the whole show.
Right.
So they plan the show for the whole season or for the whole series.
Yeah.
Right.
And the Sopranos was a weekly show back then.
Yeah.
And it spanned over six years.
So like to have that whole thing planned out and to have the episodes consistent
across each other is fucking amazing.
It was David Chase wasn't it?
Yeah.
They do.
It's amazing.
Well, the movie he made was kind of shitty.
Sopranos movie?
Yeah.
Is that already?
Oh, it's been out for years.
Like like a decade.
Is that when like the Anthony the kid grew up and became?
Well, see like he was in there as a teenager, but like it didn't show his
origin story or anything.
And like he was not the right age compared to the other characters.
And it focused on like other bullshit that was stupid and like the introduce so
many good it wasn't good.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't.
Yeah.
I think she gained James Gendalfini dying early.
Yeah.
We had sucked.
Oh, he was great.
He was like a bunch of other movies.
So, oh yeah.
Yeah, I dug him.
If you if you watch some a lot of movies from like mid 90s, late 90s, he was like
you'll see him pop up as like an extra or minor character.
Like, oh, that's David Gendalfini.
Yeah.
It's kind of hard to miss him.
Yeah.
Well, he's always really good.
So everything he's been.
It's funny when I'm streaming a show on prime, a commercial will come on.
Yeah.
And it's big pussy.
Still paying for this shit.
Yeah.
Well, I do my free package to be advertising.
But it's big pussy and the young one.
Oh, Jesus Chris Chris.
They're knocking on some guy's door like, Hey, we're here to talk to you.
Then I get six pack of beer with him.
And then in the background, you see the guy running across his front yard and
diving over his fence.
I'm like, that's a genius commercial.
But it's funny because that's a really old TV series.
I mean, it really is.
It sucks.
I mean, I want to think that, you know, I'm not old, but apparently I am.
But it came out in 99, I think.
Yeah.
That would be, yeah.
It would be about right.
Or two thousand was down.
I remember because the opening music, they had like a shot of the World Trade Center.
Oh, and they had it edit that out for the later season.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I guess you'd have to edit it out, but they left it on the earlier seasons.
Oh yeah.
Well, they can't, I mean, I'm pretty sure on the like the DVD, it's still there on the
earlier ones.
Oh, I don't get it.
I love it right now.
You know, we still back in 9-11.
So since you're out in New York, anything weird going on in New York right now?
Apparently they're about to get a socialist mayor.
So I haven't had a chance to actually dive into the numbers.
Yeah.
I want to dive into the numbers of the Democratic primary over the year,
over the years.
Okay.
I want to see if it was a low turnout or a high turnout.
I haven't thought it was a low, because what was your choice?
The socialist or the serial killer?
I mean, like you're allowed to not vote for Democrat.
Right.
No, no, no, no.
That's what I'm saying.
I think people didn't vote.
Okay.
Yeah.
But you're going to be get away with serial killer or nothing?
Um, why?
It was a coma.
Yeah, so he sent a bunch of old people to vote folks.
Why would I disappear with that?
Oh, okay.
I didn't know if you got that.
Yeah.
There isn't one because the illustrious may or may not know.
I was hoping you would like sound all you know.
Um, so, so I heard he came out and like was bitching that something like they
made him do it or something.
Of course.
What do you stupid bitch?
Like, so in our opinion, and we could be wrong.
James, coma, James, what is his name?
Andrew.
Andrew Coma was a serial killer.
That's the right name.
No, he sent a bunch of old people to die in old folks home during COVID.
Yeah.
Um, and that was like the, let's be accurate here.
He took home.
He took old people that had COVID and put them into old folks homes where people
didn't have COVID so that they would spread COVID.
So why didn't we bomb?
Because that's a new guy's using a bio lunch.
I don't know.
They should have blown up New York.
They're up near.
Now Trump can blow up the right people for a fucking change.
James.
Now I like New Yorkers.
I mean, they're fun and they're loud and the doctors kind of like I am.
My wife is, but what the fuck?
I got a friend from Brooklyn.
He's like grew up in Brooklyn tattoo.
It's all about Democrat.
I'm like, the fuck is wrong with you?
And that was even before AOC Democrat.
Yeah.
Have you seen this guy's like plans?
No, no police.
God, three buses, city run stores.
Yeah.
Anybody can transition free bunny.
He's going to raise the corporate tax rate and he's going to apply corporate taxes to
companies that don't even operate in New York.
So this is not my joke, but I found it really funny.
So they said Wall Street is going to turn into Yall Street.
What I mean by that is Wall Street is pulling on New York right now.
Go to Dallas and Miami.
And that's your most of it's already in New Jersey.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
And New Jersey will be going red.
So what they did was, um, so they went right across the river.
I guess it is to New Jersey and, um, they point these directional infrared, uh,
microwave dishes at Wall Street, right?
Where the computers are.
So they have like light speed trading, but, but it's the amount they save on the
taxes is worth that distance.
They moved to Dallas too.
No Dallas and Miami hours where Wall Street's going.
God.
So I did like the Yall Street.
I'm like, oh, yeah, that's kind of funny.
Um, yeah.
So New York has fallen.
But you know the Republican candidate is.
No.
Oh, guys forgot his name.
Uh, Chris Swatts.
Um, so, okay.
If you don't know his name, I don't know who he is.
It's, it's, it's, well, no, he's the, he invented the guardian angels.
I don't know what that is.
You know what the guardian angels are.
You never come across a guardian angels.
You know what they mean?
I've been in Chicago.
What?
No, I think.
You're gang energy.
What are you talking about?
It was, uh, it started in New York and Chris saw, saw well, whatever his name
is, he basically, there was a lot of crime in New York in the 80s and him and
his friends got together and they started walking around beating people up.
It, we were committing crimes and having them arrested.
So they were their own gang.
Don't, don't get me wrong.
Yeah.
But they were protecting people.
Okay.
And it spread because I ran into a couple of them in, uh, in Indianapolis.
They were cocky motherfuckers.
I didn't like them, but I liked what they were doing.
Um, they, they, they, they saw, you know, where the
guardian angel patch and you're all that, but, um, I don't know, but, but
he's a decent guy, but I think he's a bad candidate.
Yeah.
So the Republican party either needs to get him out or get that dude some
classes and get him, get him ready to go cause he's got a good chance because
now, so you've got the Democrat primary, I believe was just a socialist and
combo combo lost, but now almost says he's going to run as an independent.
But the, the current mayor of New York is a Democrat who's been kicked out of
the Democrat party and he's going to run as an independent.
So it's just going to be, so the public could just skip right into this shit.
People are just so fucking retarded, man.
Yeah.
But no, but, but New York, I mean, they, they came out for Trump.
They really did.
The city?
Brooklyn dude.
Did you see the, did you see the rallies he had?
A Republican.
Really doesn't mean shit.
They fucking fly those people in.
Both parties do that shit.
No, you can tell it to be orca.
New York.
Dude, like in DC with the libertarian convention, like those people were fucking
busted and like, you knew they were DC people.
Come on.
I don't know.
I guess New Yorkers, you can just, there's just something about them.
You know, they're, they're loud.
They're crisis actors.
They are.
Oh, David Hoggs.
But he was in the news too.
He's saying something.
Oh yeah.
They, um, they kicked him out of the Democrat.
Yeah.
And then they got him back in or something.
I don't, I don't, there was a lot of drama.
I didn't.
I say leave a man.
He's a woke little bitch and he'll do more.
Apparently like he was stealing funds or there's a siphoning funds or some shit.
I don't, I don't.
So what I had heard.
No, the exact thing that happened.
It was the way they did.
They handled the vote and he wasn't necessarily eligible to run for something.
I don't know.
Well, no, what I heard was like, he was pushing me his personal, uh, charities or
whatever the fuck he runs on the DNC website or something.
I don't fucking know, but it's all stupid.
I mean, like,
Yeah, they're all Democrats.
We're all corrupt.
My opinion that could be wrong, but I'm really not.
Oh, so what else do we have?
We have a,
We don't have a whole lot.
It was just those two.
Well, those Angeles is kind of funny because the, the, the mayor bass.
We don't have enough money to clean up for the riots.
So if all you public citizens in LA can start cleaning up and paint over the graffiti.
I have an idea.
Just invite the president of China over and then they'll clean it right up.
Newsome will be on the way.
They'll get scrubbed.
Right.
Yeah.
Apparently they're criticizing him for being out of winery during the LA riots.
And I'm like,
Not that I'm produce them.
What are you supposed to know?
I know you can't have dinner.
Like I gotta eat strike be down there.
Should I be like,
Stop this right now.
I mean,
No, I mean, I'll call a ball.
I call balls and strikes and that was not on Newsome.
But then again during COVID, he was out dining at restaurants.
That's different because like he's, he's saying the restaurants must be closed and then go into them.
But whereas this is just a riot and I'm like, why?
What the fuck am I going to do?
Right.
Like one, I'm not going to.
I can't even if I was there, I still got to go fucking eat.
Right.
I gotta eat something and I booked this wine to trip like two years ago.
Man, have you seen the wait list for these fucking things?
Come on.
Uh, it's actually his sister or brother's wine.
Right.
I think he's got in on that one.
Yeah.
But it's a point.
Well taken.
Still, like you're taking a day.
What's the fucking big deal?
Trump golfs all the fucking time.
Oh, and then the, the secretary now some lady with the Biden.
I didn't really give a shit about it.
She told Congress.
I was in charge of the auto pen and it was not misused.
Well, it's like, wait, wait, wait.
You were in charge.
I know.
Lock her up and it wasn't missing.
Well, they wait.
That's the president who has to sign that stuff.
Right.
So apparently I think there is a person put in charge of the auto pen because
the auto pen is there that if the president is out of the country, those
can still be signed.
But so, no, I don't think the president needs to be present.
I think the president needs to authorize it to be used.
How is he authorizing it?
Well, apparently he wasn't.
Well, in a hypothetical scenario where he's out of the country, how is he
authorizing it?
I would think there's a code on there and he can give him a code.
Why can't you just sign it from the fucking airplane or whatever the fuck?
Because people can't cheat that way.
I was, you know, the auto pen is, it's bullshit.
I'm not, I mean, I brought it up.
Like again, like if you get a fucking broken arm and you're sitting in
the office and you press the auto pen button, fine.
But like, if you're not in the country, then the bill can fucking wait.
Yeah.
Like what, or you send a copy, you fax a fucking copy.
What is this shit?
Come on.
I mean, like this isn't a country anymore.
This is fucking not a, okay, it should have never been a country in the
first place, right?
I meant that argument.
So I want to catch myself there.
But like you're not even doing the fucking simple fucking bullshit.
Right.
Like what the fuck?
Yeah, I don't know.
But there are investigating the auto pen, which is good because this, um,
apparently, the fake Dr.
Joe Biden, yeah, her chief of staff is refusing to go in front of Congress
right now.
So let's see what they lock his ass up.
Here's the other thing.
Like all this shit has already been done and accepted.
So what's an investigation going to do?
Right?
Like I guarantee you that they're not going to look at a law that
Biden's auto pen in or somebody auto pen in and say that's done a law anymore.
They're not going to do that.
They're actually going after the, the pardons and fine.
But yeah, this could be, but how many, how many millions of dollars are we going
to waste in court over this?
Like I get the Fauci's a dickhead and then he needs to go to prison.
But how many millions are we going to spend on it?
Could we just do Fauci?
I mean, I'll actually, I'll actually pay my taxes.
If we get up the prosecution of him.
Why, why don't we just not have the government's
beat out?
Shoot it from the 80s.
How about we just don't rely on the government to meet out justice?
How do we stop doing that?
Jill House.
Now I'm not suggesting that you go out and do vigilante thing.
That's not just a net at all.
That's illegal and tomorrow don't do that.
But if power is derived from the people and delegated to the government's, you
know, why can't we just take that power back?
Why can't we do that?
Because we're too weak.
No, we like our bun buns and our TV shows.
Someone's got to do something like you can't just sit there on the fucking on the
YouTube comments and say, we need the prosecutors.
We need the judges though.
Well, we've been conditioned very well.
Okay.
In the nineties, this is when this shit started, the affirmative action in the
1890s.
Yeah.
Okay.
No, in the 1990s and everyone gets a trophy.
Yeah.
Oh, that.
Okay.
And then they're gonna hold up.
But there's a lot more than like dodgeballs been removed from schools.
Right.
It's too aggressive.
Yeah.
But you know, everyone given stuff and all of a sudden we're questioning why a
socialist could just possibly get elected in New York.
Will you get free shit away?
Yeah.
Oh, we got free shit that you didn't earn.
Well, I'm used to that.
Well, speaking of giving away shit that you didn't earn.
Let's give away some money.
Actually, they did earn this whoever wins did earn this.
All right.
Because last week we posted a photo or a snapshot of a video with what's known
as a video with the president of Italy Maloney rolling her eyes at something
that Macron said.
Yeah.
And we asked you guys to fill that in for us.
So what?
So what do we got?
So first one was Al Macast.
All right.
Just give us some text.
So he says the abuse from my wife just ain't doing it anymore.
Would you step on my nuts and call me names?
That's a good one.
We had a new guy L337.
Now he says and I'm gonna know.
I didn't quite understand, but like it's a valid submission because he said this
is for the submission.
So no, no, there's if you can understand it.
More power to you.
So let me think about that.
Yeah, I might need some time on that one.
I know because because it explains her facial features.
It does.
Okay.
I you could almost say that that is the same thing you could have made.
But what's the backstory to that?
Yeah, I it's the backstory.
I cannot think but hey, whatever.
Yeah, they count.
You get put in the wheel.
So next week at Monero, Mashi gave us a meme.
So we're going to read that meme here.
The TV looks like shit.
Let me speak and adjust that brightness.
So my husband hit me.
I've called for an armaditis.
I don't know that word armaditis.
Yeah, they go ceasefire.
Okay.
Brightness.
Shit.
We're already at the bottom.
What is this?
It's our studio light.
It's wash.
But the words came up nice.
I mean, we all know what she looks like.
All right.
Well, we're reading for you guys anyway.
Yeah.
Oh, now looks like that's weird.
It looked like anyway.
Yeah, my husband hit me.
I've called for an armaditis.
It's the French way when faced with a scary bad ban.
I expect we'll return to happy fun Betty time very soon.
I love this.
Who did this?
That was Monero Mashi.
So he took screenshots of the video.
Yeah.
And that was good.
I like that.
And your in keys all stuck.
It's like Peter Bernjielly.
Quit jerking off to the end key.
No, I don't jerk off on that computer.
I use another computer.
Mashi.
And then Lash was mad.
McHugh sent another meme.
David Ron from Canary in the cage podcast said you have an
OF page.
Can their listeners have the link?
Only fans.
Okay.
Yeah, only I pay for that.
No, she's a director woman.
So that was mad at the power to her.
Thank you.
You can give me the the the the track.
It is not.
She's good.
All right.
Let's see you win.
Spin the win.
I'm just all right.
You got to contact me to click your phone.
You can find it now.
I will say though, she she gave like fuck me eyes to Elon Musk.
No, no, if you'd really even even Elon Musk's mother comment
about some of my guess it was just like, I mean, yeah, but
she's Italian.
Maybe it's like, well, that's how we are.
We're Italian.
You'll see from our next Monero challenge.
She does very strong facial features and she moves this
shit around quite a bit.
Yeah, but fuck me eyes or fuck me eyes, dude.
I mean, you you like, well, maybe these are her foot.
She was because he's taller than she was.
She was that she's like, is she single?
I wish you hope so.
I won't.
I think you would know.
I mean, you're the expert here.
I mean, I saw I've got a chance with her.
I mean, my wife would not let me do that.
Well, speaking of next week's Monero giveaway, let's go right into that.
So, uh, yeah, we got a video of Maloney again and we're going to play
the video and then the challenge will be you tell us what the fuck's
going on here because I don't fucking know.
There's a little I twitch.
Yeah.
And then there's this.
The costume blinking.
The eyes wide open.
See this.
Well, now, so if you.
If you go back to the second she walked out, she was sniffing.
That's keeping the coke rocks all over the nostrils.
Oh, is that a second?
So that may have been a snort.
So yeah, tell us what the fuck is going on there.
And it could be drugs.
It could be a naked man running through the room.
Get stuffed in the wheel.
Yeah.
Oh, so I mean, honestly, it's been all I ran talk this week.
How much else happened?
Uh, Trump definitely dominated NATO.
Uh, Zalinsky showed up at NATO, which is so confused on that one,
but he was sucking dick for money.
That's still a thing.
I thought Ukraine was.
Well, not me.
That's why you suck in dick for money.
Well, he put a suit on too.
Oh God, that fucking matters.
I mean, I don't know what else you got the NATO thing.
Trump, I did, I did like Trump's response to, uh, he broke it a
pre-steal between Israel and Iran.
I ran, ran it up to the last minute.
Possibly went over by a second or two with a missile.
And I, Israel was sending their planes and Trump was heading to
the plane, go to NATO and he goes, they don't know what the fuck
they're doing.
I can't do that.
I mean, I'm a swearer.
So I kind of dig it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
We had a show comments from a listener from the new guy, L337.
Oh, great.
So he.
You?
No, no, he was talking about, you mentioned raised beds for your
garden.
Yeah.
Uh, he said, instead of that, maybe create a layer of soil with
like five or six inches high off the ground and then put wood
ships on it.
Yeah.
So that's kind of what I was talking about.
I don't do raised beds, but that's what the Vegas
gardening community says we should be doing.
I'm willing to fight to turn my dirt into soil.
And that's actually kind of what I'm doing is he must be from a
desert area.
And then he's a Vegas listener.
I don't know.
But yeah, that's kind of the most.
He's a duck rub guy.
The most would be the roof, the roof that I was talking about.
So, um, it's all that is a valid way to do it.
But I'm so struggling because like I've done this now.
It's been like two or three weeks.
I'm still, my corn's growing, but I think I need to add some
nitrogen.
My maters are, oh wait, tomato, sorry.
Um, they're, they're, the plants are growing, but the, but the
fruits slowly come.
So I'm, I'm so trying to, to, to key this shit in because growing
in the desert fucking sucks.
Yeah.
That's all I'm saying.
Oh, what the fuck they're doing.
So call back to Trump.
Um, all right.
We're, we're at a, we're 35 minutes in.
Yeah.
It's probably going to be a short show today, but maybe people
like that.
Yeah.
Maybe people don't want to say, yeah, so much.
Um, so I, are we, are we ready to move into?
Yeah.
Let's go to.
All right.
So this is going to be part two of the fiat currency scam.
So, uh, uh, last week I went over, uh, how commodity money works
and how governments like to take it over with their fucking games.
Let me interrupt you for a second.
Cause I want to say this because this was, this is the
reference to last week.
Yeah.
Because I was at an antique store over the weekend and the
guy was selling like, uh, Silver certificates and dollar bills
and $20 bills.
And you're right.
It does say like one piece of gold.
Yeah.
Just to make it simple.
One dollar is, is the dollars worth of gold.
Well, one dollar is a ounce of silver and then $20 is an ounce
of gold.
Okay.
So, so what price point is that gold at?
Right now gold is like $3,300.
But when that document was printed, isn't that a contractual, um,
piece of paper that says the, the, the block, the block, you know where I'm
going.
I went to buy a bunch of old 20s ago.
I want a bunch of fucking gold.
Well, that's what Nixon went on TV in 1971.
Well, actually, so Nixon, uh, severed that convertibility for other
countries for, for citizens.
We were not allowed to do that since the 30s.
So FDR said in I think 34, uh, you cannot redeem these
certificates anymore.
Oh, bastards.
Yeah.
Okay.
Cause I was, so like you can say you have to contract, but they're going to,
it's the government.
I mean, it's still the base of the contract.
Yeah.
They don't go fuck.
Okay.
It's government.
What are you going to do?
Oh yeah.
So like that, that's, that was the commodity money and how governments take it
over.
Uh, so today I'm going to talk about, uh, debt is money and how that kind of
works.
Oh, okay.
So, uh, human writing actually started to keep track of debts.
So when we say like prehistory, that means before writing.
Okay.
So history is about writing.
And like the earliest examples of writing we have are Ron O's Dave 20 fish,
things like that.
Um, and now like there's all, there's these goofballs going around called modern
monetary theorists, MMT ears.
Uh, and, and they like to claim that debt is the original money because historically
that's the first thing we see in history.
But like you wouldn't expect to see writing about gold coins being money before there
was writing.
Right.
And I'm just going to give you a little coin and you're going to give me the fish.
That's fucking stupid.
No, well, like we started doing this because, uh, certain things are seasonal.
So when, when people started farming and settling down specific areas, right, corn
is seasonal or you wouldn't be corn because that was in the new world.
But like wheat, wheat is seasonal, right?
And, and fish is seasonal and other things are not seasonal.
So you needed to write down to keep track of these debts to say Ron owes me a barrel
of wheat and I owe Ron a barrel of fish and all that kind of shit.
So that's where writing began and how we started, uh, using debt is money.
So like, let's say, uh, you owe me 20 fish and I write this down on paper and, uh, I
decide I don't really want fish, right?
So I take this piece of paper and then I sell it to the Apple guy.
Right.
So he gives me apples.
Now he has a note saying Ron owes me fish and then he would show up with the note and
you would just pay him the fish.
Right.
Because you don't care who gets the fish.
You just know that there's a note and it has your signature.
So you pay the man the fish.
Right.
So that's how debt is money started and how writing started, which is how history started.
So it's, it's, it's a very valid subject to study.
So like, I'm not going to say debt.
There's no such thing as debt money.
No, debt is debt can be money.
It's a valid thing to do as long as it's a free market.
Um, a bar, a bar system.
And then so last week I said, uh, hey, this, this is a dollar now, right?
This, this is the thing.
This is a dollar as opposed to the silver coin.
Well, uh, so the funny thing is the government actually keeps track of this shit.
And um, there's a website called Fred and Fred is the federal reserve, something, something
data sheet.
They never met with my dog.
Yeah.
Well, so if you go to Fred, uh, and actually let's, let's do that real quick.
Fred money.
So my dog's name is Fred, by the way, but if you break into my house, don't tell him
to sit because that's actually the word is attack.
It's a surprise for most people.
Where's the original one?
So since we saw that air, let's do that.
Uh, so, okay, you go to Fred and they have, there's the searches.
Rex, like really good.
So if you look at like, um, money supply, they can have a whole bunch of these things
here.
We have M one, M two, total money supply.
Like there's a whole ton of fucking shit.
I've never seen any of that shit, by the way.
Oh, okay.
Well, all right, then I'll just talk about it.
So, uh, you guys can do this on your own.
It's all, it's all free.
You don't have to pay or sign up for an account or anything.
You can do it from tour, even if you want to.
Um, so there's one in there that's called the base money stock.
Okay.
And that's this bullshit.
Right.
That's the number of zeros on paper that has been printed and includes paper and coins.
And it's actually an estimate because they don't really know because, you know, stuck
it's lost and whatever.
Yeah.
And if you look at the number, it's about two and a half trillion dollars.
Wow.
Okay.
So, now our debt is 36 trillion dollars and they only have two trillion dollars of this
stuff.
So, what the fuck's going on, right?
So, now there's other measures of money if you, if you go, uh, and you can actually add
graphs to other graphs.
So, this is a great tool.
Oh, that is cool.
So, you could load up that money supply that says two trillion and then you could do a
search for M, it's called M, uh, there's M zero and one and two.
And again, it goes, whoever the fuck, uh, who knows.
So if you look at M zero, which is the paper plus, um, I think Federal Reserve assets on,
on their, uh, computer file, uh, that will take you up to like five trillion or six trillion.
So there's another like three or four trillion on the Federal Reserve database.
Okay.
Then you go to M one and now M one is all that stuff plus, uh, checking accounts and
some other like money market.
I forget exactly what it is, but it's in the definition on the website.
So just make sure you read it closely.
And if you load that out to the chart, that's like 12 trillion or 14 trillion, something
like that.
And if you go to M two, that's also savings accounts and like other types of loans and
other exotic products and all this bullshit.
And then that will take you up to like 30 trillion or something.
Wow.
So, so this stuff, there's only two trillion of this stuff, but the total money supply
is like 40 trillion or something.
So that means like, well, like 5% of our money is this stuff and the rest is just floating
off in a computer somewhere.
Yeah.
So like what the fuck is that?
Right.
So, so most of our money is actually debt.
All that stuff is debt.
Right.
It's some, it's a piece of paper or a computer entry that says Ron owes somebody else this
amount of money.
So how the fuck does that actually work?
Right.
So, uh, all this stuff works through bonds.
So here I have a bond here and I have it, uh, on, on our website.
Hopefully you guys can see that.
Yeah, that's coming up.
Okay.
Um, so the way a bond works is there's a, there's going to be a face value, which is
this thing on the left here and then a date that you can redeem that face value.
Okay.
And then it has these things on the right, which are called coupons and they each have,
uh, one year from today.
So these are all labeled today.
Uh, plus a year plus two years, three years, four years, et cetera.
So that's not coming up.
I thought I would point in this for some magical reason, but I don't think.
So after one year, you can rip off this coupon and come get $4 for me.
Okay.
And then after two years, the second year you can rip, get another $4.
And then after 10 years, you would take, uh, this coupon and the bond itself and get $104.
Okay.
So if you work the math out on this and, uh, what you would want to do is called an IRR
calculation, which is an internal rate of return.
Uh, that works out to a 4% interest rate.
Right.
So that's what these numbers four are.
Okay.
So every year you get a four and then when the bond is done, you get the, you get your
hundred back plus the last four.
So, uh, in total, you would collect $140.
So how much would you pay me for this bond right now?
Uh, so, so you just bought it just the other day today.
Well, I may, I'm issuing the bond.
I'm making the bond out of nothing, right?
Cause it's debt.
Well, I mean, I'd started 50.
You, you would buy this bond for $50.
Well, not, I mean, if I could actually cash it in.
Well, okay.
So like you're, you're saying it's risky, right?
You might not be able to cash it in.
That's fair.
So, uh, apparently Ron thinks the interest rate should be 13.34%.
No.
You said you said $50.
No, I said what I would pay for that.
Yeah.
You seem desperate to me.
So I'm going to go low.
I mean, I don't know.
Okay.
But I'm saying if you're going to offer $50, that means the interest rate on this bond
is 13.434%.
But that's just for me because that's why I offered you.
Right.
So the interest rate between me and Ron is 13.34%.
So let's say that I'm the government's.
Okay.
How much would you pay for this bond?
Well, they don't, they, they're not going to negotiate.
So they're going to pay a hundred bucks.
Okay.
Then Ron thinks the interest rate should be $4.
4%.
4%?
Yeah.
Well, Trump apparently thinks the interest rate should go lower.
Right.
Okay.
So what is actually, what is Trump saying?
Right.
He's saying, I want you to pay me more than $100 for this bond.
Okay.
So now here's the trick.
The government doesn't, well, it does sell bonds to you and me if you have a special
account and like you bid it.
Right.
So they actually have an auction.
You could buy bonds because people bought my, my son bonds.
Yes.
But, but they held an auction.
You know, when you buy a bond normally, you're buying it from like a broker.
Who bought an auction.
Right.
It's, it's, you can buy it from the government, but you have to like sign up for their accounts
and then meet all these background checks and all this bullshit.
But normally you would buy it from a broker and they're going to charge on top of that
rates.
Right.
They're not going to just give you the base rate because fuck you.
Right.
So what the government does is they sell bonds to the federal reserve.
Okay.
And, and the federal reserve, as we know, sets the interest rates.
So now how do they do that?
Well they say, I'm going to pay you more or less for that bond.
Right.
So the government just spends money, right?
I'm bullshit.
Yeah.
Like they have wars and they have welfare and whatever the fuck.
So the government spends the money.
Now the government racks up a debt from, from spending that money.
And let's say their debt is a hundred dollars.
Right.
So now the government says, okay, I have a debt of a hundred dollars.
Now you federal reserve, you're the only one that can print money.
I can only print these bonds.
Right.
So, so I need a hundred dollars for this bond.
Will you give me a hundred dollars?
Okay.
You're the, you're the Fed.
You're the Fed now.
Well, okay, sure.
I mean, okay, fine.
So, okay, great.
So now the interest rates 4%.
Ron just says, set the interest rate to 4%.
Sweet.
And now like the mortgages all follow and credit cards all follow and all have bullshit.
So now the government says, oh, well that was easy.
I'm going to spend a hundred and fifty dollars next year.
Now hey, they run, we're in debt, a hundred and fifty dollars.
Would you please give me a hundred and fifty dollars for this bond?
Okay.
No, I'm sorry, but not, but okay, but yeah.
Well, you're the Fed.
Okay.
Right.
So no.
So the Fed's going to say no?
Of course.
Well, but Ron, I can fire you.
I'm Trump.
I'm Donald Trump, Ron.
I'm a private entity.
Ron, you're fired.
I'm a private entity.
But technically, he should be refired if that was reasonable.
I'm going to go to Congress and then get the approval and then I can fire you.
Okay.
Right.
Well, then they're going to replace you with another Fed guy.
Okay.
And he's going to give me a hundred and fifty dollars for this bond.
Right.
So, okay, what happens?
Well, let's say you said yes.
Okay.
I didn't know I was supposed to say that.
Well, you don't have to.
So if you had said yes, now remember at the end of 10 years, you're only going to collect
a total of 140 dollars.
But I'm going to tell you about this.
Yeah.
So you've just set the interest rate to negative zero point seven eight six by giving me a
hundred and fifty dollars for this bond.
And the Fed can do that.
Right.
They haven't so far in America.
Other countries have actually done this where their federal, they have the equivalent
of the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank, has gone to negative interest rates.
Well, we went to zero.
Yeah.
We went to zero.
They're going to zero.
And for zero, I'm actually not, that might be 140.
That would be the next thing.
Yeah.
So if you paid 140, then that would be a zero percent interest rate.
But when Trump says, I want lower interest rates, he's saying, hey, Federal Reserve,
give me more money for this bond.
Right.
That's all he's saying.
I want to spend that money.
I want more money for this bond.
And when the Federal Reserve says yes or no, well, where does the Fed get that money?
From printing it.
Right.
The Fed just makes it up so they don't fucking care.
Right.
So if the government spends 150 bucks and the Fed is run by a guy who's friendly to
Trump, they're going to print that money up and then that money is going to go to the
government who's going to spend it into the economy.
And then that causes inflation.
All of our prices go up.
So like when we talk about the Fed setting interest rates, that's really the game they're
playing.
But that didn't happen in Trump's last term at the end.
Well, you put it up when Biden took over, but he had the interest rates down to like
one or two percent.
At one point it was zero.
Well, you say it didn't happen, but like, how long do you think it takes for that money
to actually filter in through the whole economy?
Yeah.
No, it takes some time.
But because this has been going on since Obama even, right?
Even at the last end of Bush when the financial crisis happened.
Right.
So Obama jacked it straight way down.
Well, but they were also paying like $150, 150 percent loan to value on a house.
Okay.
But that's what caused the housing crunch, the housing crash.
Well, there's a whole bunch of things that caused that.
No, I know.
But when you're loaned at a $100,000 house and you're going to the person $150,000
on a $100,000 house and he can't pay his mortgage and you go bankrupt on it or do you
foreclose on it and it's worth 70 or 80,000.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So there's a lot going on that, but yeah.
Well, yeah, but because this all happens because we do them because we play this stupid
fucking game.
Right.
So now in a real economy, right, the government can't just print these up and then there's
no other guy on the other side that could just print dollars up.
It's only me and Ron and Ron's fucking saying, I want a 13 percent interest rate because
I don't trust your ass.
Right.
So, I'm going to go to Apple Computer because Apple can issue bonds too, right?
And you could say, well, I would pay a little bit more for an Apple bond because I trust
Apple.
They're going to pay you back.
But Dave's is fucking dead.
He's not going to pay you back.
So like, there's no the interest rate in a free market.
There's the interest rate between Ron and Dave, the interest rate between Ron and Apple
Computer, the interest rate between Apple Computer and Microsoft.
So you want to negotiate the interest rate based on the terms.
Right.
So there would be credit score, term of loan.
Right.
How much I trust you?
You're going to say, well, all that bullshit.
Right.
That's how an actual economy functions.
But this game we're playing now, it's just like, I can print these off all I want and
you can print those off all I want and then we trade them and then we make everybody obey
us or we shoot them.
That's what the government does.
And it's all bullshit.
And like, that's why it's important that people understand how this works because like you
understand that it's all bullshit.
Right.
They play this game to confuse you.
Right.
So when Trump gets on TV and says, we need lower interest rates because blah, blah, blah.
And you don't really understand what that actually means.
You might think, oh, that sounds right.
We should have lower interest rates because then I would pay less on my house loan and
whatever the fuck.
But you don't realize that, oh, now the money floods into the economy and then BlackRock
buys my house because they get all that money and I don't.
Right.
You're the last guy to get that money.
BlackRock gets the money first.
They buy all the houses and now the housing prices go up.
So I guess there's a lower interest rate if you'd locked it in somehow.
You can't afford the house anymore.
Yeah.
We talked about BlackRock buying up or investors buying up.
That's how they're able to do that because they play this game because they lower interest
rates.
So, okay.
So I was, you know, I think, you know, I'm looking for, I've been sitting in solar panels
on my house and this company called and I talked to them.
I said, I'm not going to be easy.
I'm not easy to deal with, blah, blah, blah.
And I go, if you want to come out, we'll talk.
I go, but understand, I think, I think 99% of you people are scam artists.
Yeah.
And I'm going to be very particular.
Well, I tell my wife, she goes, well, let me look about, she comes back and she goes,
dumbass, she calls me, it's a pet name for me, dumbass.
She goes, that company's owned by BlackRock and they're going to put a lien on your house.
Nice.
I go, the fuck they are.
Yeah.
I'm like, I saw a company back.
I'm like, wait, you work for BlackRock and you want to put a lien on my house?
Yeah, I'm not going to.
So like, you can actually think of solar panels as a bond because that's essentially what
you're doing is you're paying money up front.
Yeah.
To get a stream of cash flow that hopefully pays off, pays itself off.
Right.
And it's, it's right there on the cusp.
Well, they made it.
So it's right there on the cusp of you save a little bit of money because the life of
the solar panel, right?
That's how that, that's how they allegedly, uh, well, they also want access to my internet,
which I'm like, no, I don't have a separate internet for that.
That was the case.
Yeah.
But so like anytime any politician says the interest rates should go this way or that
way or whatever, they don't know the fuck they're talking about or they do and they're
trying to confuse you or they're trying to lie to you.
They're trying to like create inflation or stop inflation or, but none of it makes any
fucking sense because that's not how economies work.
Right.
Economies are free people trading amongst themselves and like whenever the government gets in the
way, things get worse no matter which way they go.
So it doesn't matter if they raise interest rates, lower interest rates, they can't get
the right answer because they don't have a free market.
It's just two fucking dickheads playing a game amongst themselves.
I mean, I would, I would love a bartering system.
If we had a second and crypto may be that, I just don't understand crypto, but I wish
there was either our websites out there, but a barter system website or barter system
with the neighbors or stuff, you know, where you trade stuff.
Well, they don't have to be barter.
Like why can't we just use corn like like monetary units?
Cause it's, you have to, everyone has to have that, that value of that.
That value is what we say it is.
And if somebody walks into because I've got a bunch of gold here in my hand,
it's about a hundred bucks.
Give me something.
I disagree.
Well, okay.
But take a walk.
So you put it on a scale and it's like 0.8 ounces.
Okay.
Well, I mean, so yeah, I don't know.
I just, I, I want something that's, that it's just free trade.
It's just much easier to understand.
But the point is that like people, people will over time agree on the value of, of
certain types of goods, right?
Like like a gold coin that is uniform, that you has a recognizable stamp.
And, and it has some counterfeit tests.
You're going to know what the value of that gold coin is.
The value of gold fluctuates.
Now it's on the out.
No, no, no, no, no.
The value of this fluctuates.
The value of gold fluctuates.
No, the value of this fluctuates.
Okay.
The value of gold is the same.
So when you see the number of gold going up, what's really happening is this is
going down.
Yeah.
Because this, they can just print up.
You can't just print more gold, right?
Gold comes out of the ground at a very predictable rate.
Well, you can still get gold.
Huh?
You can still go.
Apparently we stole a bunch of those other stuff.
Yeah.
But the total amount of gold in the world is not rapidly changing.
Okay.
It's about 1% per year and it's been doing this for 5,000 years.
Right.
So like it's not the value of gold doesn't fluctuate the value of this fluctuate.
And like the value of gold can change if we find new uses for it, for example.
Right.
So like when we started making computers, it turned out that gold was very useful
for computers.
Well, that means the value of gold goes up because now people want it more.
So why is it so forgot up?
Oh, it has.
It's gone.
It's been going crazy lately.
Is it worth $35 an ounce?
It's right at 35, I think.
It's like 33 or something.
It hasn't gone up then.
Because apparently you need a lithium batteries.
Well, so the other thing about silver is that unlike gold, we've actually found
better ways to extract silver.
So like the yield we get out of silver or is and shit is more now than it used to be,
whereas gold is still the same.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think the government is turning control of silver back in the 30s and they manipulate
the market ever since.
Well, of course they have.
I mean, of course they do.
Well, I can't even do it with gold.
It's, well, I mean, apparently gold, I don't understand half this.
It cannot be used as currency, but as of July 1st this year, it can in certain states.
There's a weird thing moving with gold right now, but there's some gold you can cash in.
Well, what do you mean by cash in?
You can't sell it.
You have to declare gold.
I mean, there's, yeah, when you travel, you want countries?
Yeah.
No, but I think, again, I'm not a gold person.
I mean, back in like 2006, I knew this guy, he's like, buy gold, buy gold.
The economy is going to crash by gold.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, he's a fucking nut job.
And if I would, the funny thing was I actually attempted to buy gold.
Yeah.
I don't like to have other boxes, I'm going to throw that gold in and see where it goes.
But I couldn't figure out, because to me, if I buy gold, I want the gold.
Right.
I want to possess.
I want to see it.
Yeah.
And I couldn't figure out, I guess I could have bought Krugerans or whatever that is.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, they sell coins and bars.
Yeah.
I was trying to figure out how to do it.
Yeah.
So like they sell it.
And so a lot of these places will sell it as an IRA because like you get tax benefits.
But to have gold in an IRA, you can't have it.
It has to be stored offsite by a licensed gold, or whatever the fuck.
And it's fucking stupid because like, you know, you have to pay storage fees for that.
Yeah.
Whereas like if you just have it at home, like, whatever you want.
I may have mentioned this before, but there is a Canadian company that will
store your gold for you.
Allegedly.
No, no, I mean, I think they're legit.
I mean, no one knows.
But just like the government will store your gold for you.
Okay.
But the cool thing, you get something really shiny, which is apparently what
Americans like, you get a credit card made of your gold.
Ah, so you hand away to us, your credit card.
Nice.
It's legit 100% gold.
Yeah.
See, I don't like a lot of these things like, dude, if you're going to buy gold,
just buy the gold and half the gold.
I want a gold credit card.
If I had the money, I'd so, I'd still have a gold credit card.
Go to a hobby store and get gold paint with real gold.
No, no, no, no, it's got to be for your goal.
Yeah.
With how much traditionalist?
What I'm saying, you can get real gold paint.
I know it's got to be like all gold.
Like all the way in the middle.
I used it when we were kind of cool.
Here's my gold card.
It's why you see the guy run another street with it.
You're going to fucking lose it.
Because it's got to be at least an ounce, doesn't it?
No, no, no, no way.
No, no, gold.
I got credit card is not way an ounce.
But a credit card of metal, it'd be very thin.
I don't think it'd be an ounce.
It might, it depends.
I mean, it depends how you want to make it.
Yeah.
I don't know, I still think it'd be kind of cool.
No, but yeah.
Like, fuck you, your black card.
And it's not a gold card.
Just stop believing like oh the interest rate should be less than such and the Fed should
do this and like no the Fed should stop existing because it's all bullshit it's all a game
they're just like playing games to confuse you.
I'm not an economy guy I want to buy a house with 2% interest so that I'm happy.
Right but then the house is going to be like $3 million.
I'm not.
It is what it is.
It's an interest.
Why would you not want a house for $20,000 at 18% interest and just paying cash?
Like that's what I do with my credit card right?
I don't fucking pay interest so you can charge me 80% interest if you want.
I'm not going to pay it.
Right you got 30 days when you make a purchase you have 30 days to pay that off if they
charge your interest.
So just do the same thing with a house like housing should be cheap as fuck.
I should be able to buy a house for the years where the salary are less and then just pay
in cash but no the banks do this.
They love this intro who have interest rates because guess what if you actually calculate
a mortgage how much you pay let's say $100,000 house for a 5% mortgage rate you're paying
like $230,000 and $100,000 house.
I think it's more than that but yeah.
It's absurd that you're paying more than double the value of the house.
I did bring this up a couple of weeks ago.
I was trying.
Okay so the first house I bought or the second house I bought.
I might be the first house I bought.
It was the first house we bought.
The owner's father wanted to be the bank.
And I'm like okay we met each other we had agreements and he was charging me 10% interest
and this was back in like the early maybe the late 1990s.
But it wasn't a 10% interest rate as a bank would charge.
It was a flat 10%.
So again it's calculating money.
It's calculating interest over a 30 day period versus a one month period.
Okay.
Apparently there's a difference there or I could be wrong but the reality was the amount
of interest I paid was minuscule.
Interesting.
And he's like I only want to do this for like three years.
Well no so was he doing it more like a bond like this?
I think it was for tax purposes.
Because well no I'm saying like when you get a normal interest or when you get a mortgage
it doesn't work like this.
So a mortgage they take this $100 value and put it into the coupon essentially.
So now for each coupon you would pay more.
And then there would be so they used to do this with houses actually they used to work
like this but people bitched because at the end of your mortgage you'd owe this big payment.
And people were like oh that's not fair like why should I owe you a big payment?
Right but because you never paid anything.
There was no balloon payment involved with this.
It was just straight up I don't know if he needed to own the house for a couple more
years or what the whole deal was but my realtor knew both parties and she's like no it's
legit we had lawyers read over all the documentation and it went really well.
And at the end of each year when I looked at the amount of interest I paid it was minimal.
And if you do person to person you can set whatever terms you want as long as they're
written down.
So 10% sounds high but it's where they calculated the 10% which is what made the difference.
So before we bought this house I was talking to my realtor my wife thinks I'm nuts you
know dumbass.
She was pissed but I'm like hey can we find someone who's willing to owe her finance but
it has to be under my terms not theirs.
But I can promise them they'll make money.
And basically if you loan me $500,000 and you give me the first five years of a payment
you'll make like it was like almost like $100,000 in over five years.
Now I don't know if that was a great return or a good return.
But I'm just like you know so yeah you're tying up your $500,000 but over the five years
or was it every year I have to read around the numbers.
But nobody would take it.
So one guy returned like when I'll do it this way I go the fuck you're giving me a mortgage
and I can't get one from the bank.
I'm like tell the guy we're pre-approved from the bank.
I'm trying to leave the government out of my home purchase.
And they couldn't get it.
But and the thing is I've done this up to four because I do believe someone could make a run
of the banks and start a co-op because co-ops are different.
So each person you would loan.
It's hard to do better than the bank because like again the bank has this secret access
to the Fed and the Fed just prints money.
Yeah but you've got you've got oh fuck I forgot you got FHA insurance, you got mortgage insurance,
you've got all this other bullshit that's on your mortgage because the government's
involved.
But I'm like you know because there's ways I give you started co-op you could even evict
somebody out of their home if they weren't a good same with the co-op.
So I believe there's ways to do this and I believe it would get it like and you could
kind of like do like the Airbnb or the Lyft of home mortgage.
Well the other problem is like to do this with a co-op but the co-op would have to own
the homes.
So you would have to be a member of the co-op so you would own all the homes.
No but that's what I'm saying is like BlackRock already owns all the homes.
So how are you going to get these homes as your co-op?
Well no you would be a mortgage company and someone would want to go buy a house and then
they go oh I want to join your co-op so I can get a loan and you run their credit and
go yes we'll loan you the money and your co-op fee is this.
So you would have to go up fee minimal and then the return goes back to the co-op but
the co-op is the black rec is not going to sell the house to you.
They don't own them all yet.
They almost got this one.
Well if Trump gets a lower interest rates like you were wanting then they will.
So when I made the comment about a year ago that investors own 60% of the houses in America
now BlackRock owns 60% of the houses in America.
Like guys that's a problem.
Stop asking for lower interest rates that's how this happens.
No actually I think it's worse.
I think it's worse with higher interest rates.
No it's not what do you mean?
Because it's a buyers market.
So BlackRock are walking with cash and go well I'll buy your house for $10,000 less
than you asked.
Remember I'm saying BlackRock can walk in with cash because the Fed just prints the cash
and gives it to them.
Sure.
But if we stop doing that then they won't have the cash.
They'll actually have to get real jobs to get cash like all of us.
Again reality versus Dave's reality.
This is reality if the interest rate goes way fuck up then they can't play this game
anymore.
See I think a higher interest rate benefits the cash buyers.
No it doesn't.
You could buy a house for cheaper.
Nobody else is going to buy your house because the mortgage rate is 10%.
Oh you benefit the cash.
Yes okay.
So I have cash I don't care what the fuck I'm saying.
Right but I'm saying once they jack up the interest rates the cash stops flowing into
the economy.
So yes they have cash now.
The BlackRock has cash in the pocket they own Target.
Right but they're going to start running out of it.
They're going to run out.
Wow.
Right whereas now they're never going to run out they can always get more.
So the reason I said co-op and I never talked to an attorney about this because what I don't
have the money to loan people to buy houses because that would be a lot but back in like
2009 or 10 Obama banned cigarette over machines and I had a store making my cigarettes for
me.
Yeah.
And when he banned that which is weird because it helped the people but then they did
the cigarette machines help the big tobacco.
But Obama was the president of the people.
See I've been a headache.
That's how it works man.
It's not about helping the people it's about fucking your crony fucking big business people.
So this particular tobacco store moved their cigarette roller machine into a garage.
And we all had to sign up for them that were joining the co-op.
Cost me one dollar and I'll never get a return on my investment.
Right.
But I could buy cigarettes at this price forever.
And we did that.
And the government could not touch them because I own part of that machine.
That's how they do like raw milk and stuff.
Right.
So that's kind of how that works.
It's a lot more comfortable.
I mean I've got to.
We shouldn't have to do this.
Like why should we have to fucking play these stuff.
Like they're playing stupid games.
Therefore we have to play our own stupid games.
Like just leave us a fucking loan.
If you're happy I would be if I could come up with a plan that hurts the banks.
And Jess it's called raise the fucking interest rates.
Oh it's not because that's what went in my pocket.
No it's yes you have to eat a shit sandwich either way.
You're going to eat it now or you're going to eat it later.
But that's that's that's nothing to do with what we're interested in.
That's the future Ron deal that should say.
Present Ron doesn't want to shit.
But it'll be less it'll be less shit on the sandwich if you eat it now.
What's the peanut to shit ratio.
I too.
I'd have to do another show on that.
You could actually figure out the peanut to shit ratio.
The peanuts of the U.E. because you have to know what I.
Okay here's this little side story.
So so you could buy peanuts in the shell.
Or not in the shell.
Do you know which one is more economical.
You would think in the shell would be but since you're asking I'm going to say out of the shell.
So well so there's you have to examine the differences right so in the shell is cheaper.
Okay per weight right.
But but you're buying shells right.
But now you would think that doing the extra work to take the shells off adds cost right.
Okay so that would mean that the on the remove shells would cost more.
Okay but actually if you if you weigh it.
If you weigh the peanut product like take the shells out weigh the peanut product per price.
The shell removal ones are cheaper.
Right because you're paying for the weight of the shell.
Yeah and the way the shell is actually 25% of what you're buying.
And most people don't eat the shell.
Right I say most people.
Yeah I've seen people eat the shell.
I don't eat the shell.
Yeah that's why I'm on purpose anyway.
But yeah it's unintuitive right and I had to go to the store and buy a bag of the shells
and the bag of the non shells and then fucking take all the shells off and then weigh everything.
Did you have your whiteboard set up with the rubber?
I did no I did I did I had a shell sheet.
Okay.
But yeah I did all this work and I'm like oh it's better to buy the ones without the shells.
There you go.
So like.
Well it's like shrimp same thing.
You buy shrimp.
Yeah.
You buy shrimp peeled.
Yes.
Peeled and deveined.
Yes.
So yeah.
I actually bought with the whole I try to get the head on and everything.
So I have a question about this.
I never thought much about the deveining.
I never cared what it was.
Yeah.
But it's shit.
Yeah it's poop.
But people like it in there.
Who likes it in there it's disgusting.
Oh people don't like it deveined.
Who?
Who are these people?
Who are these degenerates?
No there's people that they just want to peel and that's the thing like that.
So even like peeling eats you what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to cut it down the the back side.
No even in Tommy boy David's basically I hate when they deveine these things.
I thought he had I said he had I hate when they don't deveine these things.
No I hate when they deveine.
I'm going to bet you on this.
No no no I'm going to bet you on this.
He said I hate when they don't deveine these things.
No because it was all split open.
Yeah and they and they didn't deveine it.
You could you could see the little shit line in there.
Dude.
No so anyway when you make peeling each shrimp which Bubba like Bubba Gump has.
Yeah.
You're supposed to cut down the back take the vein out and leave the peel on.
Now the reason I prefer to peel on with shrimp regardless of the price is because you can actually use the peel.
Unlike a peanut shell.
A peanut shell is fucking worthless.
What are you doing?
You make stock with the shrimp.
Oh yeah okay that makes sense.
Huh you need a lot of shrimp shells.
Yeah you save in the freezer and then when you have a full bag you make stock.
Make like what do you call it the shrimp or shrimp and crab.
Ah fuck it's like a Frank of Vichy Swat Vichy Swat soup.
Really good.
All right so.
All right do your thing.
Okay so we're getting hot.
Vegas we're already hot so let's talk about AC's.
Ah.
This will be a simple one because I don't want you to technical but change your filters.
If you if you're condensing unit which is what your compressor is is outside on the ground
hose it down.
Okay.
You could buy a chemical to spray on there or you can just have I always have it running
and then I just spray it because the fan that's on the top is helping the water pull through
and just look at the ground just got that black shit coming out so you're doing a good job.
If you've got an RTU or rooftop you know like we have here in Vegas in a lot of cases
you might want to get on the roof to do this.
Don't go on the roof if you're not stable on the roofs and the changes pitched and
you know the slope it's a low slope high slope kind of thing because you're going to shoot from a
low slope.
Why you know slopes are dangerous.
Yeah it's 15% is dangerous.
Even the Secret Service won't go on slope roofs.
But you get up there you can you can kind of want like have your hose on you can have an
oz or an oz or and just kind of like just spray it cover the whole thing and you've got
different sections of it but if that fan's running it helps pull the water through it all
gets cleaned up and it'll run cheaper and more efficient for you.
So when it comes back to your filter you got to use a little bit of crinkle thought here.
They make cheap filters and they make like fucking rock solid filters.
But the problem is based on what kind of unit you have sometimes you have to use the cheap
filter because you need that air flow to cool that compressor or it's going to shut off on you.
So if you put a really nice filter in there and all of a sudden you're at home and your cooling
shuts off pull that filter reset your unit and turn it back on the compressor runs your filters
your filters too too good.
People buy all these like microfiber mold zapping dog hair resistant filters.
It just it just it cuts down the airflow.
So your flow is very important.
So I always just use like a cheaper version but I also know how to go in and clean past.
You can also get like a like an in room filter for the other shit.
Yeah because I have one of those.
You can run an air fan or an air cleaner.
Yeah and hopefully get some of it out but I've got dogs and cats.
I got a shit going on there.
But I have to use the cheaper filters because we've got rooftop units.
So basically it's compressor and a metal box and the hot sun.
So I need as much air to cool across there.
But what you can do to test your AC before you call a service guy out.
If you put a thermos thermometer in the return which is where your filter is.
And then you put a thermometer in the closest vent or grill to the unit itself.
So they're probably going to be like five feet away from each other.
And you want to measure the air temperature going into the return and then coming out of the of the
system.
That's called the delta T across the coil.
And your delta T should be around 20 18 to 24.
You're good.
If you get more into heat pumps or something maybe higher.
But if it's lower than you you have an AC problem.
You either have an air flow problem or you've got a free on problem.
So you kind of got to look into the different.
You got to kind of do some deductive reasoning.
Be very careful about calling HVAC companies.
At least here in the valley.
They are fucking scam artists.
And my guess is with economy the way it is a lot of them are scaring.
No it just happened again.
A dude called for AC guy.
One of 16 thousand dollars replaced the unit.
He got a hold of me and I go huh.
That seems weird.
But we started talking.
He goes well I guess he goes like I have some kind of like old free on.
I go okay probably a R 22 which is a problem.
Did you change the blinker fluid too?
Yeah.
No no no the free on is a big issue because they replaced R 22 with 134A.
That's a problem.
And now that's bad and now they're going to go to something else.
But then if you listen to the commercials around town they have plenty of new free on
but they don't have the bottles to hold it in.
What?
Well the bottles are illegal.
They're bad for the environment.
Yeah.
Well the government needs to stay out of this shit.
R 22 was fine.
It was great.
But what the hell was it going to hold around?
Come on.
But I gave him someone to call and I go if you have a leak this guy put R 22 back in.
And it's going to be expensive because you go by the free but it's going to be a lot less than
$16,000.
My guy went in fixing for like, I think it was under a thousand.
Because he did have a, the guy legitimately had a leak because he even said they sell oil
so he's like okay I'm a guy that's a leak.
But the dude who bought a bunch of R 22 a long time ago he's sitting pretty with it all.
So and then a small heat pump package unit just takes a couple of ounces.
So yeah so they really be fixed quickly but the thing is that the other company wanted
legit like they wanted to replace the entire unit.
Jesus.
For I mean $16,000.
I live in like a condo multi unit thing and our AC unit is in like the roof of the bathroom.
And I was talking to you off the show about this.
We're like I have an overflow pipe in the shower that was leaking.
And like you mentioned something about like a can.
Yeah, can I say pans.
And to put like these tablets in there.
So I went and I got I found the tablets at your favorite hardware store.
Get into that but.
And I bought I put them in there and it seemed to work for like two weeks or something.
And then it started to overflowing again.
The tablet going to do so much.
You probably should get in and clean it out.
Well, so here's the problem.
I like I went I pulled the the what do you call it the protective lid off of the fucking thing.
And I stuck my head up there and the area where that pan is supposed to be.
I cannot even reach my hand in there.
So the the problem is not as much on the pan side on the drain side.
Because nowhere else I go.
No, but there's got to be a PVC pipe coming off of that drain pan that goes through the little
trap and then yeah, I can't see any of that.
It's all blocked.
So I was able to get my phone in there to snap a picture and the pan looks like shit.
Like it's like rusted up and all this garbage.
Yeah.
So I threw some tablets in there and stopped for a little while.
And then now it started up again.
But I'll just put more in because I bought a bunch of them.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying that's the safest way to do that.
But but it could be.
So like what advice do you have for like people in my situation?
Well, it's your your drain line is clogged or some clog in it.
Yeah.
And the best you can do is just what do you see the PVC?
I don't see shit.
So you've got to accept it.
It could be metal in Vegas or you're in Kilaar County.
I definitely go back and look and see if it's metal or but you should see two pipes coming
off your tray.
One is going to be lower.
One's going to be higher.
What is the main drain?
And once you overflow, if there's if that's all there, it's all blocked.
It could be.
Yeah.
Because they don't always put the access panel in the best spot.
Because the best way to kind of say drain is with air.
Just a little air gun.
Yeah.
So now I literally can't even get my hand there.
I could barely get a phone there to snap a picture.
The tablets may be your only solution.
I wonder if there's a liquid though.
Because it's in about liquid to make sure it's not going to destroy the pipes.
Yeah.
But you live in a multifamily HRA building.
Yeah.
I'll probably call my maintenance guy and be like, hey, you're like, what the fuck do I do here?
Yeah.
Your maintenance guy will know what works best because he deals with the most.
Yeah.
But yeah, you basically that trap holds a lot of slime.
Okay.
And you want to clean that trap.
Yeah.
Like if I could actually get my hand in there to be fine, but I don't know how to expect you to do that.
To get to the trap, it's going to be if the access panels are the wrong spot, it's going to be a pain in the ass.
So maybe the tablets will eventually get it.
So yeah, if you're in like a similar situation, like call the maintenance guy because they have.
They know their shit.
Usually people on site that know the building.
And they might be like, oh, you're a condo.
I can't work in the units and then drop a $20 bill on the floor and go, did you drop that?
I'll give you all the answers you want.
I mean, yeah, I don't care if he works on it or not.
Just tell me what to do.
Yeah.
He may have a better solution.
But the reality is, is the drain from that kind of say panel legit goes to the your parking garage.
Is that below your building?
Yes.
Okay.
So that's going down to your parking garage.
It's not solely going down.
It's going to tie in with the right units above you.
Yeah.
And I'll go down.
And someone's fucking leaked like last week or two weeks ago.
Kind of sicker.
Lick a lot.
But yeah.
So yeah, I would just keep trying the tablets or see if there's like a different former tablets.
And I'll try and snap another picture.
Like it's really fucking annoying, but.
Kind of the panes get really nasty and dirty.
But the slime usually gets caught in the trap because what happens is if you don't have the right filter in and this is kind of,
this is where putting the cheaper filter and kind of hurt you.
Yeah.
Because if you have the cheaper filter, which is a fiberglass filter, you can see you got literally like poke your finger through it.
Yeah.
But then some particles are going to stick past.
Yeah.
And I don't know if you caught what I said a second ago is I know how to clean the ductwork past the filter.
Yeah.
And that's getting to the coil, the a coil or the evaporator coil.
Right.
It's a coil in furnaces and that.
I know how to clean that and I actually was doing a test running my unit without a filter at all
because I have a rooftop unit and I didn't know if it'd be pulling the stuff up there and actually it's
No, it actually worked out really, really well.
But you know what pisses me off is like nobody teaches you this shit.
Yeah.
But to clean the evaporator coil, that involves like tools and knowledge of airfoil.
Right.
But okay.
So like let's say you owned a condo and you wanted to rent it out.
Like wouldn't you try and tell your tenants how shit worked in the apartment and what kind of maintenance they should do?
It's funny you bring that up.
So I did two things.
Once when I first got into the industry, I actually worked in apartments and I had a good decent base of knowledge, but we don't know everything.
Yeah.
I had a staff when I hire people, especially the apartment industry, I would go less experience and more customer service and I'd hire you.
Yeah.
I can't teach someone to be nice and respectful of people.
No, that's.
I get that.
I get to teach about a Turner scroll.
Yeah.
So what I would do is I would hook up with my vendors and I go, listen, I'll use you as a vendor, but you got to teach us when you're here.
Yeah.
And I go, and then when you teach us and we fuck it up, we'll call you to fix our fuckups.
And they're like, okay, cool.
So that's how I learned that way is I learned from my vendors show us.
Right.
And it was pretty cool.
We learned actually quite a bit.
Now, knowing about your unit, I opened up a building in Chicago called the Morgan.
I think I brought it up before.
It was not named after me even though I said it was.
The owner's daughter was named Morgan.
So I guess, but since my last name is Morgan, I'm like, yeah, it's the name after me.
This had some weird shit in it.
It had like weird opening windows.
It had weird operating blinds.
They, they, somebody got fancy with like stuff from Europe.
And so what we did is we actually did a video on how to run the wash machine.
I've had to teach people to use a washing machine.
Yeah.
There's nothing complicated about a washing machine.
It depends on what you like.
If you get these fucking Korean ones and the number, the Korean levels.
It's still start wash, walk away.
It's Korean.
I can't read that.
Oh, fuck, by the Korean.
I, that's why I read.
So I don't have to worry about this shit.
So, but we did, we did a video on how to operate all the different appliances,
how to work the windows, how, oh, the locking patio door.
No, this thing like had like space shuttle locks on it.
Like you could like fly this building to the moon and all the fucking things were closed
if the boot actually existed.
So, but yeah, it would come in and you would turn the handle one way.
It would lock all the locks.
And the other way would open the door, but we went up to lock it all.
Shit wasn't lined up properly.
Like there was bolts sticking out of the frame and brackets on the door.
So we, we, we told them how to, how to do that.
And that seemed to tell out quite a bit because they taught people how to do the basic stuff.
Yeah.
Now we didn't go in depth, but honestly, YouTube, YouTube has gotten to a point where,
no, I get that, but like here, my real problem is like,
okay, you're investing in this thing to make money.
Right.
So like, this is why I rent.
So I don't have to deal with this bullshit.
Right.
So the person who owns it is rented is, is buying it so they can rent it out to a guy like me
and make money.
And like, I'm a great tenant.
I always pay on time.
Yeah.
I don't fucking make noise, whatever the fuck.
But like, how much money are you losing when you don't tell me,
hey, Dave, once a year, you got to do, right, you clean out the blinker fluid, right?
Like if you don't tell me to do that, I'm not going to do it.
Right.
Because it's not my property.
I don't give a fuck, right?
Because when it breaks, I'm going to call you and make you pay for it.
So like you're losing shows of money by letting this thing deteriorate.
Yeah.
As opposed to saying, hey, Dave, can you just check the blinker fluid once a year?
Yeah.
So it's weird because in Nevada, up until last July,
you could charge your tenants for preventive maintenance work.
So if you set a company out there like a handyman out there to change all the filters,
you could backcharge your residents.
Interesting.
And they made that illegal, which, you know, the way I look at it is it's your equipment.
Make sure it's done right.
Because fuck you, you're going to charge me for all of them.
Like I didn't tell her.
Well, okay.
I don't think the government should get involved because like, okay, so, but
if you're willing to offer me lower rents in exchange for I pay for this preventive maintenance,
fine.
That's a choice I get to make.
Whereas now the government says you have to do it this way.
Well, then all prices go up.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, that's your argument you always jump to.
But I also would jump to the free market.
It's going to go into intervening.
But unfortunately, apartments don't really operate into the free market.
So they're not a price fix.
And you want to call me out and call me out.
No, it's bullshit.
But it's what that's part of the remark.
Bullshit.
That you can call your competition and ask them how much they charge.
We as tenants are allowed to do that too.
No, you're shopping for the best deal.
But I can call other renters and say, hey, man, don't rent that apartment for more than $1,000.
We can do, we can clue we're allowed to do that.
But that's not how it actually works.
Well, that's your choice.
But it's like you're choosing as renters to not do that.
But don't blame the owners.
But if you're calling your competition, you know your competition is going to charge,
you're all going to be in the same realm.
So what?
There is no like, because then you can keep raising the rent.
But someone else can start building shit and charge less.
And they will.
But they don't because they see the greed that they get when they charge.
No, the reason they don't is because the government zones everything and says,
can't build here.
That's the reason that doesn't happen.
Greed is, yeah.
There's nothing to do with greed.
Everyone's greedy.
I'm greedy.
I'm a greedy renter.
I'm going to eat the lowest price I can.
I'm going to call my buddy and say, hey, man, don't pay more than $10 for that apartment.
I'm going to collude with my fellow renters.
That's why it's fair for me to do, but not for them to do.
Because price fixing, you can do, what about milk?
I mean, you want to pay 12 dollars a gallon for milk?
Let them know people can do low prices.
Somebody will offer milk for a lower price.
Rat milk?
No, regular cow milk.
I get the little nipples.
No, dude, somebody will see that there's insane profits to be made by lowering the price of milk.
That's how markets work.
Markets don't charge more because they get more money.
They charge what optimizes profits.
What color is the sky in your world?
Dude, listen closely.
Is it a pretty good color?
Listen closely.
They don't charge the maximum price because that's not what maximizes profits.
Profits are a curve.
They have to find the point on the curve that maximizes profits.
In a free market, yes.
And you're saying they're going to charge over here where the curve is down.
No, they're not.
They're going to charge over here because they know their...
Right, and over here is $3 for milk.
But they know their competition is going to be charging roughly the same price.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't fucking miss.
Anybody can make milk.
There's going to be thousands of milk producers.
If the amount of profits from milk goes over here to 12 dollars.
Anybody can make milk.
I can't have a cow out here.
Why not?
I looked into it.
Well, why can't you?
Who's stopping you?
The government.
Oh, the government is the government again.
It's always the government.
They're the dirty government.
It's always the government.
It's never the milk makers.
It's never the ranchers.
It's always the government.
So then I have to drink raw milk and that's disgusting and gross.
So fucking boil it.
No, according to the government, raw milk is really bad for me.
So boil it.
You have a stove.
Or does big stove collude and...
Pasturize it?
No way.
I can't do that.
Big stove is colluded to keep you out of the stove market.
Pasturizing is a big word.
And big pot and pan has made it so you can't afford pots and pans.
No, you can buy pots and pans and stoves.
Drink raw milk if you can.
Fuck the government.
I'm going to start.
Drink raw milk.
Fuck the government.
No, they've legit arrested people for this.
Of course.
The Amish, they've been to Pennsylvania.
They made them pour out all their fucking milk.
The Amish.
How about we leave them the fuck alone?
Leave all of us alone.
Well, I mean, some of us...
I've been in line at the grocery store.
Some of them need to know what to do.
I mean, like, no, no, no.
He's straight up.
Seriously.
Guy comes up to me with his phone in his hand where I work at.
Do you think you can view the cameras and see what my motorcycle was stolen?
Oh, like last night?
No, about two weeks ago.
I go, he goes, well, what should I do?
I go, did you call the police?
No.
You sure was your boarder's leg?
Oh, no, no, wait.
He goes, well, but I know where it is.
I go, what?
He goes, I said, GPS on it.
Okay.
He looks like somebody's garage.
I go, well, go fucking give it.
Yeah.
He goes, well, what am I going to do?
Just call the police.
Show them the information.
Let them go and get it.
They don't care.
They actually don't care.
Yeah.
Well, and now with cars that they should.
They, well, here's the funny thing.
They only care if the GPS reports the wrong house and then they'll go get a fucking warrant
for the wrong house.
But if you can say that the GPS is this house, I've like seen the motorcycle come out of that garage.
They'll be like, oh, no, we can do it.
It's a civil matter.
Like the cops are fucking working.
But keeping that address, I'll kick that fucking door in a second.
Right, right.
Yeah.
They're so worthless.
But you may be right.
It's, I'm not going to get cops.
I don't have a problem with them, but I have a problem with the reporting numbers.
They misrepresent the crime.
Like was it two years ago?
They're like, all crime is down in Vegas except shootings.
No, no, that can't be because I live in Vegas and I'm walking around.
But let's just take your word at what you say.
So what you're trying to tell me is murder is up, but shootings are down.
That's not how that works.
These knives.
No, no, but you can use that.
Baseball bat.
So I never told you the story of the car with the cop that I met at the ZZ Topcon search.
Maybe.
So basically what he said is the reason the murder rate is going down is because doctors don't know
when to go to coffee break.
Meaning if you got somebody shot and they look like a gangbanger, I had to take a coffee break.
Yeah.
But he's saying so shootings are, because it's a shooting somewhere you want to worry about
because that number is staying stagnant.
That's staying pretty healthy.
The murder rate is dropping.
So when a city says our murder rate is up because that's the number they have a hard time hiding.
Yeah.
So the fact that your city goes, the murder rate is up, but everything else is down.
Right there is a problem.
Robberies.
I mean, so they're down.
Yeah.
So what's going with the murder?
Right.
You know, it's always you got to kind of copy that game.
But the reality is if they say murder is up and shootings are down, they're fucking lying to you.
You go back to the 70s and 80s.
I mean, do you remember what an ambulance looked like in the 70s and 80s?
Yeah.
There was like literally like a door with a gurney.
Yeah.
Put them in there.
Let's go.
Yeah.
No equipment.
Yeah.
These guys, these are operating rooms now.
Yeah.
So then alone, because when you get hurt, you have what's called a golden hour.
The quicker you get to the hot, the quicker you get medical treatment, the golden hour,
the better chance you ever survive.
So your golden hour can start in the ambulance now, where before you're on a gurney strapped down
and you're just bouncing with the fucking station wagon going down the street, because they legit
were sort of station wagon.
Yeah.
They went to Vans and now they're just like, I don't know, black helicopters or some weird
shit with technical stuff in there.
But yeah.
So yeah, it's got to play that game.
I don't know how to go to the crime rate, but it's fucking ridiculous.
But change your filters.
Here you go.
If you want cold air, you want mechanical cooling, keep your air filter going, but definitely
check your Delta T, which is the return of the supply.
If you're anywhere near the number 20, you're at least meeting the industry standards.
Some units perform better, very few units perform less, but that'll tell you if you're
truly cooling and it'll save you a few coins.
So when Dave has interest rates up at 18%, we have ways to sell by outside.
I don't know.
You pick Ash.
I'm not BlackRock.
Jesus.
You will be.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
