Joe Rogan podcast check it out The Joe Rogan Experience Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day cheers here we go my friend this is the second time we ever worked out together I know I feel great it was awesome right that was great it’s a great way to get the day started it was perfect actually we do these uh the the comedian uh boot camps so we got did it today we did it with son and Derek and Shane Shane Gillis and and we have fun so you get the workout in and you talk a lot of [ __ ] and you get silly it’s really fun it’s like real silly yeah you know we have a good time yeah I uh yeah thanks for the invite it was pleasure I’ve been on the road for I don’t know for weeks and so you know if you’re lucky you get a decent hotel gym but you got to be really creative yeah uh most of them the best they’ll have her dumbbells and you know that’s it uh I just realized you’re the second celebrity to do that with us and the second Hawaiian cuz the rock did it it’s like there’s something going on Pride here something going on with Hawaiians coming we’ll have to figure out you know Max Holloway is Hawaiian and Samo too he didn’t work out though Max last time he was here he was just off of his uh his win he just chill a break after that man wow yeah take some time off bro that that um I was telling you like the sauna I I am definitely like from the islands because I’m okay with heat so 20 minutes in the sauna it was good was challenging but it was good yeah the cold however that ice bath I’ve done that like a quick Polar Plunge briefly jumping in jumping out but and that one was at the lowest setting in terms of the Jets of water okay so what we have is called a blue cube and blue cube is is uh the type of uh Cal plunge that has a it has an engine in it that you can turn on to higher higher levels of waves so if you turn it like to the highest level it’s just rushing at you like a river is that better or worse horrible it’s horrible because you never develop a thermal barrier okay so if you can just like cold all cold water immersion is very good for you it’s good for cold shock proteins norepinephrine mood stabilization makes you feel all those things are good but the still cold is much more Toler for whatever I don’t know what’s better for you see that’s the question like is it better is it just as good and more tolerable or is it better to be more to suffer for the full three minutes cuz if you turn that [ __ ] suffer more is the benefit proportional to the suffering is really the question sure I’m not sure if you suffer more if you get more benefit or if there’s a point where you’re actually hurting your body you know like maybe maybe there’s a point I mean obviously if you stay in the cold water too long you’ll die that’s what hypothermia is yeah so but there’s a level where if you just get a few minutes in it’s really good for you so I don’t know if it’s better if you’re miserable yeah right I don’t know but if you want to test your mind that that blue cube is the one to do because that sucker gets fast that sucker gets like a river so you’re just laying in there and it’s like [ __ ] salt of cold water the moment it sucks when when you climb in that moment never changes mm that’s the difference cuz in a regular coal plunge after a while you develop like this thermal barrier and even though it sucks it only sucks like 80% of what it sucked when you first got in yeah with the blue cube it’s 100% sucked the whole ride suck he suck suck suck it just sucks so it sounds like you got to try it at least once yeah and figure it out you did the just doing it the way you did it for three minutes like I said the first time I did I did like a minute and 24 seconds all like I couldn’t chicken out in front of all the guys you know what I mean it’s like when Han says well I did 3 minutes to show up for the Rocks like okay I’m not going to be the one who chickens out at a minute that’s not that’s not an option well you did it you did no it was good it was good uh it was very challenging it was good I we don’t we don’t have a we don’t have a cold punch like okay I’m not I’m not going to go and like find bags of ice every single day from 71 and dump in the bathtub so I just when I can I just like dump my face in ice cubes and water that’s good too yeah yeah I mean that’ll wake you up y all that stuff’s good there’s some pretty reasonably priced options for coolers that you could actually do in a bathtub now there’s a bunch of different ways you do it but if you got the scratch like one of these blue cubes or something similar morasco makes a really good one too they’re really good yeah see I can see how that feeling the after feeling gets kind of addictive I’m sure someone will reach out to you try to try to get you to use their [ __ ] it’s very good though but it’s it’s also like the camaraderie the fun have fun listen to music for sure laugh a lot exactly yeah this is perfect yeah it’s a good way to get a podcast started yeah oh by the way congratulations to the marijuana enjoyers of the world cu the DEA officially rescheduled marijuana to they’re going to reschedule to schedule three wow which still it should it shouldn’t be illegal yes we know that I agree but baby steps you know the fact that it’s making progress at all just shows that the you know Collective will of the people is being heard at least somewhat there was I’m trying to remember who it was uh somebody was telling me that like the decriminalization crew they gave an American flag made out of hemp to a member of Congress to Fly Above the capital because it’s a normal thing like you know I I would get people when I was in Congress calling and saying hey it’s uh you know my friend is retiring from the military from 30 years can you fly a flag in honor of him or her and so you get a little certificate with it and and this like there are many flags that go up and down every day that are given as gifts to people uh so someone did it with a flag American flag made out of hemp and apparently it caused major problems within the DEA and within the administration saying how dare you how could anyone allow this to happen it made zero sense whatsoever but it just pointed to the the backwards mindset and thinking and the sensitivity within the DEA uh and the government around cannabis hemp marijuana it just seems a massive lack of Education too it’s not as simple as you know you’re thinking of it in connection to marijuana it’s hemp is a commodity that has existed forever in fact canvas that writers paint on or that painters artists paint on that the original word canvas came from cannabis it was made out of hemp they made hemp paper is a better paper they they made hemp clothing it’s far superior to Cotton the only reason why they This Is Where It gets weird it h there there’s there’s a bunch of things that took place that took hemp away from being a common source of paper and clothing but one of them was making slavery illegal because before they came out with the decorticator with the the primary way they used uh to process hemp fiber was really painstaking cuz it’s a it’s an incredible plant it’s a very light plant but it’s insanely durable like hemp clothing is so much more dur like I have a hemp Jiu-Jitsu ghee from datura okay and that sucker never rips my cotton GES they’re good for like you know you wear them for like 6 months a year they’re going to [ __ ] starts going even like really strong stable cotton thread start going these hemp GES are like they’re Invincible it’s crazy and pemp paper is so difficult to tear it’s like a completely different kind of P makes no sense yeah it’s an amazing rope it it’s like you could use it to make concrete they make hemp have you seen that where they make houses with it yeah my my dad is a a state senator in Hawaii he’s the chair of the agriculture committee and for years he’s been the state’s biggest advocate for hemp as um an economic driver and and to to help revive agriculture in Hawaii and so he’s talked endlessly about the houses and just everything all of the different benefits of hemp he’s got some hemp aloha shirts and and the whole deal the the this this thing that you’re talking about though the the federal government in the classification is the biggest barrier to this actually becoming um a really viable and thriving industry in our country because people are growing crops of of hemp but they’ve got to go through all of this crazy THC testing and I’ve talked to people who are who are farmers and business people who are investing in this and they’ve had to throw like entire crops away because of I don’t know the details about the testing but it it just you know 1 plus one doesn’t equal two when you look at the reality of the benefits of hemp and the the farming process and the concerns that they have within the DEA so is the concern if it has any level of THC at all if correct say like it’s valuable as aod what’s so it’s so stupid this this whole thing is stupid because we’re always concerned about and rightly so about cutting down forests to make paper right right well guess what hemp paper you can grow an entire like first of all it’s much more viable you have much more product it’s much more durable and you can regr it quick exactly it just Grows Right Back Again whereas trees takes years and years to grow them back hemp you got another season whoop okay here’s hand plant grows crazy fast super light super durable yeah just got to think about it as a commodity and stop connecting it to marijuana and you’re going well this is invaluable because this could solve a lot of our problems especially with deforestation and then if you look at it for building materials like wait this might be the greatest Building Material we can use it’s incredible insulation it’s very durable strong and again renewable like instantaneously it grows so quick yeah what’s what’s interest I mean for us in Hawaii I mean what tourism is the biggest economic driver we have and every time there’s you know in the post 911 when people weren’t traveling so much during covid when everything shut down businesses go out of business small businesses are driven out because if they don’t have that driver so the conversation always comes up about okay well we’ve got to diversify our economy and this is one of those areas that has huge potential for a small island State like ours in Hawaii and what’s interesting is uh Mitch McConnell I believe he’s from Kentucky uh their state is also a state that is promoting uh hemp as a major agriculture driver so there there’s opportunity there but it requires a lot more education uh from those both in the administration and in Congress to actually take down those barriers and allow it to actually truly be an industry in America when we started first started selling hemp protein and on it we have to get it from Canada H you can sell it in America can’t grow it here was like what it’s just food it’s just hemp seeds it’s really good for you it’s like full of amino acids and rich in protein and they’re like no can’t grow it that shit’s illegal you know what’s nuts too is is um the military people who are on active duty in the military they can’t put hemp seeds in their smoothie they can’t use any CBD bomb that you can buy at the freaking gas station or anything at all because CBD bomb yeah CBD bomb anything that has um your your energy drink that has cvd K Cliff cannot not allowed you you could you could seriously get punished so they if you caught are they testing blood for CBD they they’re not testing blood for CBD so it’s just illegal so if you get caught with the product if you get caught with the prodct correct and the Their Fear is like you’re going to piss hot because you know you take the you know random your analysis tests and everything else but it so so the I I laughed you know I mean again it’s lack of Education it’s fear and it’s like well this is baned by the federal government so the military must comply but at the same time the guy uh within the Army the civilian who was putting out this policy um he also said you’re not allowed to eat anything with poppy you can’t eat a poppy seed muffin I was going to bring the wildest one well you will yeah you will like you can go to Dubai and they’ll if you go places where it’s like seriously strict Saudi Arabia they’ll test you for heroin it’ll you’ll test positive for heroin yeah unal poppy seeds are rough that’s a scary one it’s like wait a minute Bagel poppy seeds those things make you pissed hot for heroin lemon poppy seed muffin what yeah they tell you if you go in for a drug test do not eat poppy seeds before you go it’s crazy like what Bagels how bad is your test right how bad you tested the point yeah how bad is your test technology biology like all this stuff you guys can’t get a bagel this is so stupid you could have put someone in a cage for eating a bagel yeah but like for a guy in the military that could be the end of your freaking career You’ be kicked out for it yeah and you know just being at a party and people are smoking and you know you get secondhand smoke you’ll test positive you know those those tests are probably pretty rough because people definitely get high from secondhand smoke I’ve seen it happen before I’ve seen sober people go into a room that’s filled with pot and every everyone comes out like a little loopy like you’re breathing in the same air you’re breathing in pot a I used to have a dog that I got uh she was astray and she was a little prone to anxiety as it is and if she was in the room when people smoked pot she would get high and she’d get paranoid she’d started hiding under tables I was like oh Lucy she was sad not good get CH no she was like the world that’s dangerous you know she used to live on the street man so it’s just uh I guess it’s a good thing that they’ve scheduled it schedule three but for sure forget about the drug part they should be encouraging hemp production in this country it’s it’s an amazing food source hemp has all of the essential amino acids it’s very rich in protein it’s easily digestible as far as like plant-based protein for me is my favorite one and the easiest one to digest like just like easy It Goes Down Smooth it’s no problem at all and you know it’s it’s very good for you yeah and CBD is very good for you but forget about all that just just for a commodity and for building construction and clothing you know the first draft the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp I’ve heard that yeah yeah like it it was it was used for everything yeah it was used for ropes for for sailboats yeah they made sails out of it all that’s the canvas that was all made out of cannabis initially it was all hemp it’s just it’s it’s just I mean I I introduced legislation in Congress to deschedule it completely because it shouldn’t be well the wildest thing is how it happened in the first place the wildest thing how it happened in the first place is because it was all William Randolph Hurst and Harry anslinger and so what happened was William Randol Hurst who owned Hurst Publications he also owned um not just newspapers but he owned paper mills and he owned forests so he had all these forests that they would cut down the wood and use it to make paper well he if if they were going to transfer over to hemp this is going to be very costly and the cover of Popular Science magazine in I think it was 1930 F find out what year that cover was it says hemp the new billion dooll crop because they came up with a new machine and it was called a decorticator and this new device was a device that allows you to effectively process the hemp fiber in a much quicker and easier way so it’s machine that grinds it up and so once they do this they go oh boy we’ve figured out we they’ve solved this problem of hemp where it’s really it’s very durable but it’s really difficult to break down to the actual fibers so 1938 oh wow so this comes out in 1938 hemp the new billion doll crop and so it’s the cover of Popular Science magazine do you see do do they have the cover so you can see what it says just an article actually came just an article today about this somewhere vot him oh wow thetic mechanics magazine I’m sorry so so the article is from 1938 and so when they come out with this they talk about this uh new invention see if you could find a photo of the decorticator because it’s like this grindy kind of thing is that what it looks like hemp the new billion dollar crop so once they had this ability to really quickly turn it into fibers then Big Industry starts getting involved and um what what they start doing is they start making these stories and putting them in the newspaper about Mexicans and black people smoking this new drug called marijuana and raping white women and marijuana was not pot marijuana was uh a wild Mexican tobacco it was a slang for a wild Mexican tobacco it had nothing to do with marijuana so they started attaching this name to something and calling it a drug because they knew that cannabis was so ubiquitous and and hemp as a as a commodity was everybody knew it what what it was good for right so they had to come up with some sneaky way to get it through so they come up with the word marijuana so marijuana was not a term for pot it wasn’t a term for cannabis it was a ter for this wild Mexican tobacco and so when they started making marijuana illegal Congress didn’t even understand that it was the same thing as hemp and so they had to come up with some sort of a tax stamp that you can have in order to grow hemp while marijuana is illegal and then this is like right after prohibition right right so prohibition ends you got all these cops that were used to busting people like sick them on the farmers now exactly and this is what happened exactly and then they come up with these Dopey movies that are amazing to watch today have you ever seen Reefer Madness mm it’s crazy it’s like people smoking pot just jumping out of Windows and killing people it’s just like it know this guy smoking pot propaganda oh it’s the worst propaganda but it was really effective like this is it I’ve got a few of these uh posters weird that I have them I have them uh framed oh my gosh because these movies were insane and they were just full on propaganda movies crime sorrow hate shame despair find the movie find a clip from the movie reform Madness we’ll just watch it without playing it but it’s it was so nutty like and they scared everybody yeah like oh my God oh my God oh my God so understand that media has sucked forever yeah exactly just understand that so this is reer madness at the local soda fountain innocently they dance so that dude on the piano he a re lurking behind clo doors marijuana the burning weed with its roots in [Music] hell look at him in this film you will see the ease with which this vicious plant can be grown in your neighbor’s yard rolled into harmless looking cigarettes hidden in an innocent shoe or watch case in this startling film you will see dopers lure children to destruction we’re going over to Joe’s Place why don’t you come along we have a date to play a set of doubles oh you can play anytime come on we’ll have some laughs can I go along with you sure hey I’ll see you dinner sis if you want a good smoke try one of these you will meet Bill who once took pride in his strong will and he takes the first step toward enslavement enslavement you’re [Music] afraid smoking the soul destroying Reaper they find a moment’s pleasure but at a terrible price divor violence murder wow look she’s just going to jump out the window oh my gosh jeez [Music] apparently it makes you act terrible too right terrible at acting play fast she’s actually playing pretty good for someone who’s stoned yeah you know imagine being hammered and try to play that oh my gosh yeah so this was the propaganda from and what year was that Jamie 36 36 so this is all they’re all like trying to stop hemp as a commodity wow that’s really what it’s all about yeah it’s really not about isn’t it fascinating just to see just you know the repetition of the the propaganda information Warfare to be able to serve a a special interest yeah it’s ridiculous and it’s ridiculous that it’s fear and yeah and that it was going on almost 100 years ago what’s also important about it is the problem with something like that is that now you don’t trust the media right now if you don’t trust the media and then you go out and try it yourself you don’t have real accurate information because now there’s like this there there’s these narratives that have been created that aren’t based on truth and so you don’t know where to go you don’t know what’s real and what’s not and then you have people that tell you it’s harmless and then you have people tell you there’s people like me they go n cuz I’m like it’s not harmless it’s not marijuana is not a harmless thing you definitely shouldn’t take it when you’re young and here’s what’s really important some people can’t handle it for whatever reason and it’s most likely some biological thing just like some people are allergic to aspirin or whatever like there’s some people they don’t mix well with that stuff and there’s a real connection between schizophrenia with some people that maybe are per susceptible to schizophrenia Alex Baron wrote a great book about it called tell your children it’s very interesting because there’s real instances of people taking high doses and getting schizophrenic yeah but if we we’re being lied to about it no one knows what who did right who’s going to give me the information where’s the truth coming out because there if one group is saying that this is a schedule one chemical and it’s very dangerous and then all your friends are just smoking weed and going to the movies you’re like well clearly this is not that dangerous like Jiu-Jitsu people and Surfers they’re all getting high like what’s real here yeah and because we don’t have the ability to to just honestly talk about things without everything getting so weird and like like the hemp thing like having a hemp flag like this is problem with the DEA hey guys don’t you have fenel to worry about why are you [ __ ] with flags seriously it makes no there only 10,000 DEA agents I think there’s 10,100 something DEA agents you you guys got time for Flags yeah how many pounds of fenel is coming through that border while we’re talking well you and I are talking how much fenel is making it across in people’s shoes and underwear and where the [ __ ] they’re hiding it no one’s checking everybody yeah no it’s true it’s uh and then of course all all the medicinal qualities of CBD as well and and how many people and kids and and just people are benefiting from that well Dave Foley told me that he his arthritis was so bad that his his fingers were kind of like locked in this position he had a really hard time straightening him till he started taking CBD and then he’s like it’s so much better now wow just like my fingers have full range emotion now yeah I know so many people that take it for like aches and pains and and it actually helps some people with anxiety too which is interesting the conflict here is as you know you know as majority of states in the country have legalized it in some fashion whether it’s medicinal or recreational or whatever all these different levels but because of the federal um prohibition essentially you know you’ve got banking it is a multi I don’t know multi hundred million dollar industry at least at this point but in order to be able to conduct business with the bank the bank and the business owner faces potential a potential Federal charge yeah of a crime and so it’s um you know the the the second third fourth order of effects of this scheduling of uh cannabis is is very very far-reaching and and creating a worse problem which you know is you know okay so we do this on the black market is this just become a cash industry or where does this go yeah and the problem also is by having some states have it legal and some states have it illegal then you still open up a market for illegal sales in the country and what happens is the cartel comes in and they start growing it on public lands I had a guy on the podcast name is John Norris and he started off as a game warden so he started off as a guy who’s going to check fishing licenses and stuff and one day they find that a stream has been diverted and they’re trying to figure out why why the stream is dried up so they make their way up the stream they find these this irrigation system that’s set up for an IL marijuana grow up in the middle of public land in California so then they develop a tactical team so it goes from being him being a game War to now they have dogs and bulletproof vests they’re getting in shootouts with the cartel so they’re ex because they’re making millions of dollars but they’re using really dangerous chemicals and pesticides that are illegal to use on crops in America and they’re just using that [ __ ] up there so who knows what the [ __ ] you’re getting if you’re living in one of these states that has illegal pot yeah because when California changed the law and made marijuana legal recreationally they made growing marijuana without a license it’s just a misdemeanor so these guys that are just doing it now from the cartel like this is you have nothing to risk right you’re just it’s a misdemeanor and we can make millions and millions of dollars yeah and so they have these guys up there they have like you know rosaries and all the like photos of Jesus and [ __ ] they find in campgrounds and they they pay these guys to go out there grow this stuff and then bring bring it out Harvest it and bring it out and they’re selling it he said that I think believe John said at the time of our podcast that 90% of all the marijuana that’s being sold in the states where it’s illegal is all from these grow Ops a lot of them in California on public land by the cartels 90% yeah 90 that’s huge even good oldfashioned American pot growing entrepreneurs the illegal ones they can’t keep up with the cartel and this is because it’s illegal and this is the same reason why fentel is coming in the same re I mean don’t do heroin kids okay but it should you can’t if you keep everything illegal you’re going to just prop up the government of these compan of these countries that is allowing this stuff to come in and they’re allowing people to grow it or they can’t do anything about it because the cartel has so much money and so much power that the government is basically helpless and you’re it’s being propped up by Americans at 100% 100% 100% it it’s a it’s a rough thing to deal with because we don’t want to say like oh let’s make all drugs legal cuz my God the last thing you want is your kid to die of a drug overd so nobody wants ever kids to be doing drugs right but also if you don’t do that you’re just going to empower our neighbors to the South who happen to be drug dealers some of them and they they’re making billions of dollars selling drugs to America and you’re killing kids at a rate higher than ever in recorded history people are dying there’s 100,000 plus people every year that are dying from opiate overdoses which is nuts that’s so much crazy it’s crazy that it’s happening here in the United States of America and the thing is it’s this is where it’s hard it’s happening because it’s illegal which sounds so counterintuitive it would the the problem is if it was legal there would be a long period of time where it would be really bad you know I think if it was legal too many people would try it that wouldn’t try it wouldn’t have otherwise yeah they’re not going to go to a drug dealer but if they can just go to the CVS right and buy heroin like let’s see what the fuss is all about yeah you know that’s spooky I think that this this is the conversation that needs to be had though you know what I mean it’s I mean it’s the same thing about people unwilling to even discuss what what is the right path how do we how do we handle um this this crisis that is a national crisis taking so many people’s lives tell people not to do it yeah right okay okay I don’t know well that that works out it doesn’t work it doesn’t work in it’s uh that’s we’re in a weird spot I was in uh San Diego a few weeks ago we went out um kind of to to film a little mini documentary about what’s happening at the Border in San Diego there’s a lot of attention being put on you know Texas and Arizona but California’s border is a whole different Dynamic both because they’ve got you know a long stretch of Border where you’re you’re Crossing in and you’re going straight to mountains you know big Open Spaces but then you’ve got the very dense Urban uh Corridor I suppose uh where people whether they’re coming in through the water or they’re just coming across the border where they can disappear into neighborhoods very quickly but uh what what was there there’s a few things that were very eye-opening and interesting number one is we we know that the borders are open because we know how many people are coming through the numbers that are being reported I think it’s close to 9 million now just over the course of the Biden Administration what I saw there were um people coming in and we were just driving around and we saw groups of people gathering in different locations from all over the world illegal immigrants and uh seemingly happy and going to the place where they were told to go or they knew that border patrol was going to pick them up and knowing that they will get processed claim Asylum and most of them will be out with a plane ticket anywhere in the country uh within 24 hours and so crazy it’s it’s I you know and I’ve talked with some of the border of Patrol agents and and you know they’re they’re not allowed to say anything on the record but just the frustration that’s being felt where they can’t even do their job what what is the justification for the plane ticket uh they don’t have the they don’t have the ability to House people where they are so just like where do you want to go Utah okay here you go where do you want to go New York City and I went and I talked to a lot of them I sat down and talked with people from Brazil from Egypt from uh Colombia from Venezuela from um you know different parts of Eastern Europe people from all over the world coming here with with the known plan in this well oiled machine and and I’m I’m talking about this CU it is very directed to the cartel directly connected to the cartels who are being enabled in their multi-billion Dollar human trafficking operation across the border by our policies by the Biden administration’s policies at the border which is connected to their ability to move Fentanyl and other drugs across the border and so we spent a couple of days at the border there and then uh went into the city of San Diego and went and started talking to some homeless people and and talking to people who were clearly clearly um extremely high on multiple drugs and we’re walking around with one of the community relations police officers there who’s just playing clothes he’s walking around and keeping an eye on what’s going on there but we talked to this one guy who had a crack pipe in his hand uh he seemed barely conscious but we had a he he was was engaging in a long conversation with us and um you know I was asking him about fentel and he’s like oh yeah I take fentel sometimes uh but I usually take it at night to help me go to sleep I ask like aren’t you afraid of not waking up like he’s like yeah I’ve had a lot of friends who died from fentanyl but I know how much to take and I know how to manage it and have you have you he’s like yeah I almost died twice and I was revived uh but and then asking him uh the police officer asked him what would it take to get you off the street what would it take to get you to a place where you can get some help and and to get off drugs and he said he’s 27y old guy nothing nothing um he said there’s too many rules in the places where I could go and stay and I want to live my life this way it was so heartbreaking to see him you know his eyes were barely open and and um clearly in an altered state of mind but even in that state in this conversation how do you how do you help someone who doesn’t want to be helped you can’t it’s the problem I mean you could talk to them you could hope that they could get some information from you that shifts the way they think about things but the addiction gets so deep yeah and there’s this uh thing that some addicts will say is that um I feel better when I’m high that it’s the only time I feel good it’s the only thing good that I have in my life is when I get high and if you take that away my life is terrible and if you’ve been an addict for a long time the longer you’re an addict in fact the more that’s true right because the more your life is a wreck and then you’re forced to deal with it when you come off and you realize like oh my God I’m 45 years old and I’m a heroin addict like what the [ __ ] how is this exactly and then now you’re sober and your life is in shambles try to figure out how did you go so and then the only thing that made you feel good was heroin you want to go back you want to go back to that and it’s also people like get really scared of success even success in staying sober they get scared of doing things well and they seek comfort in Failure because they’ve they’ve become accustomed to failure so if they the pressure of doing well and of like staying sober and like keeping healthy like it’s almost too much just just the maintaining the psycholog the anxiety all the all the fear that comes with failing that you just want to fail just so you could just feel comfortable again because then you you don’t have to there’s no pressure yeah you don’t have to deal with the pressure yeah it’s scary the the human mind is so susceptible to so many different things whether it’s Cults or addictions or you know I mean we’re very weirdly vulnerable to a lot of like very strange things and a lot of these things I I think I think a lot of the mental issues are accentuated by social media I think um that they’re they exacerbate them badly and a lot of I think there’s a lot of undiagnosed mentally ill people that are just killing themselves by being online all the time yeah I believe it I really do I think it’s terrible for you yeah yeah I mean it’s so easy to get sucked into it it’s so easy and people that are like arguing with people constantly online my God what a terrible waste of time yeah when when that becomes your reality dealing with people and perceptions and you know measuring yourself against whatever you’re seeing and and all of it and and you you slip out of the real world and building real relationships and friendships and having real conversations yeah the the comparing too the comparing is something that you and I didn’t have to grow up with exactly and we’re very very fortunate because especially um young girls today and Jonathan ha’s work on this has been really interesting his book The codling of the American mind is a great one and it’s all about what you could see like exactly when social media is invented all this self harm and all the Suicidal Thoughts suicidal ideation and suicide all goes up for girls and it’s comparing themselves doesn’t surprise me yeah absolutely it’s such a bizarre thing that a person can get super duper famous just dancing on an app that goes online and then they make millions of dollars and they’re like your age and you’re like what’s wrong wrong with me I’m a Los you can’t just live your life and hang out with your friends everyone is in constant comparison with impossible people that shouldn’t even exist and then you and then you add the the layer of AI onto that where you have complete uh you’ve got videos and pictures of people who are a digital construct uh not just that people are paying to talk to them right there’s this guy they found this they were doing this study on AI girlfriends where people have like interactions with AI this guy was spending $10,000 a month on his AI girlfriend gosh oh my gosh Isis could get that guy they just got to find him if they just find that guy they can talk that guy into anything if you’re willing to get if you’re going to get an AI girlfriend 10,000 bucks a month yeah you’ll join the Moonies you’ll you’ll be in whatever comes along grabs you son You’re vulnerable they’ll get you but that’s you know you look at what’s happening on on college campuses across the country right now it it speaks exactly to that that that vulnerability of of being manipulated or uh you know solden ideology and then grabbing on to it um as as though you you now have a sense of purpose yeah the that’s the problem the sense of purpose is like so attractive to people that there’s so many kids that want to be like so righteous and they just want to like criticize and yell at other people who don’t feel the same way they do and so it like you’re seeing these Israel versus Palestine things on school campuses I’m like my God which brings me to this is an interesting thought like what are your what’s your opinion on this potential Tick Tock ban uh I oppose it I oppose it on the grounds of of free speech and civil liberties you know this is you speaking of fomenting fear this is one of those um pieces of legislation that’s you know if if you just read the talking points for those who support it and it’s supported by many people in Congress on both sides of the aisle um you think like oh my gosh we’ve got a national security risk and you’ve got concern for our kids and all of this other stuff but when you actually read the language and understand the implications of what this legislation does it’s not really about Tik Tock at all it’s about government being able to choose uh what platforms are acceptable and what are not and what we as Americans are able to either get information from or put information out and then you look at okay well if they’re giving themselves that Authority how will it then be enforced then you get into the civil liberties concern of the fourth amendment of government overreach and trying to figure out okay well now I’m going to have to look into your phone and figure out if you’re the guy who’s using the VPN to illegally download this app then you’re looking at uh you know the the the designation is that if you have uh 20% or more uh ownership stake or stake in a business that has been designated um by our government to be illegal because of its association with a a foreign adversary there are a few countries listed there but the president would have the power to designate any other country of foreign adversary without any kind of you know Congress wouldn’t have to take action it’s a it’s a unilateral move uh you are also implicated if you are someone who the government determines to be influenced by or connected with one of these countries that is a foreign adversary and so you know Elon Musk has talked about this it is not outside of the realm of of the the um not only possible but the probable that if they wanted to say okay well you know Elon Musk is doing business with this country that we don’t like and oh he also owns this platform called x x should be shut down because of this Association uh the the I think Ron Paul said it best when he said that this legislation is the most and I’m paraphrasing but he said it’s the most egregious violation of civil liberty since the Patriot Act was passed in the wake of 9/11 and when you look at the arguments that are being made around both of those pushes they are they are very eerily similar in invoking National Security concerns and the language and the way that’s written is intentionally vague that puts far more power into the hands of the executive branch just like the Patriot Act did to single-handedly say well this is a good guy and this is a bad guy and that has a direct implication on Americans and wasn’t there another recent thing that passed that allows more observation of people through cell phones yes yes and and both of these things were actually wrapped up into that that same bill that just passed through they lumped together a whole bunch of different things they were they were separate previously but uh the thing that the Tik Tock band was lumped together with was the bill that would reinstate or extend the um fisa authorities the foreign intelligence Security Act authorities for another two years um section 702 of fisa gives our government the authority to um surveil foreign actors essentially to try to identify terrorist threats but part of that is they have the ability to capture all of the conversations if you talk to somebody in another country that they’re interested in they can then go in and capture all of your information as an American citizen and they can do this without a warrant this has been in place for quite some time uh but this legislation that was just passed recently expanded those authorities so they can go and actually look at like your your WiFi uh history if you’re connected to Wi-Fi they can look at everything that you did connected to that Wi-Fi signal and and in some other ways it’s it’s it took an already bad problem and made it many many times worse and again they’re just saying well it’s for National Security the problem here is that’s the thing they always say though that’s the thing they always say and and it’s like you know the I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said if if you know um if you are choosing security over Liberty you will neither be secure nor will you have Liberty um that’s not an actual quote but that’s basically the point here and that’s the false choice that many of these politicians are are forcing on the American people is you can either be less free and more safe or you can be more free and oh by the way you’re going to invite more terrorist attacks or more National Security uh incursions on our country and it’s just it’s just BS it is BS it’s also very unamerican it is and here’s the problem with government overreach the government is just people yeah that’s the problem like you know if if you thought of them as something other than a three-letter name like dea CIA NSA just a bunch of people y you would go well why is this like the DEA why is this 10,000 people telling all these other people what to do that sounds crazy there’s way more of them than there are of us if we was just in this room and uh Jamie turns out to be the cop and uh he says hey uh I’m going to put you two in prison because uh I heard you like hemp like we like Jimmy [ __ ] off that’s crazy but if if it’s a government agency with a three-letter name you’re like oh it’s the government it’s the government the government is just human beings and there’s just a natural inclination that people in power have is to try to gain more power yes rich people want to get richer hot people want to get hotter like that’s what it is you know it’s like everybody wants to improve and the government’s they’re in the business of telling you what to do and they want to be better at that business yeah and the best way is to be able to like constantly be able to surveil everything you say and do right and and again it it go we shouldn’t let them no and and this is the problem this is the problem is that you know every elected official swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution yet as we saw with this most recent example they are so ready to uh undermine our fourth amendment rights in the constitution in the name of National Security and I know some of them are doing it with with good intention but with without actually considering that the challenge and responsibility of those in government and those who have this power is to strike that correct balance between ensuring that our liberties and our constitutional rights are protected you you swear an oath to do this when you when you take this job while also ensuring okay well we can do both and we must do both we can be safe and secure and also be able to live free without worrying about every time you pick up your phone or you make a phone call wondering if the government is surveilling us and then you you add on to that what’s happening now where you know like January 6 for example I was working out in the gym Marine Corps gym in Hawaii down the street from our house bumped into a guy who I met uh it’s a long story but I met him when uh the Rocks stunt double was getting his traditional Simone tattoo and it’s a whole ceremony it was a 7-Day thing and so this other guy is Simone we met became friends so I saw him in the gym and he’s with his 14-year-old son how’s it going this and that he’s like oh the FBI just came to my house out in La uh small rural community on the island of aahu I was like what’s going on he’s like yeah they came and knocked on my door because he said I took my son to go and witness democracy so they were part of those thousands of people who were out there on the lawn of the capito and they they didn’t arrest him they didn’t charge him with anything but but how is it how is it that you know years later years later they go and find this guy and his family in a rural Mormon community in LA in Hawaii they’re capturing all of the data of people whose whose cell phones were pinging within the that vicinity yes uh during that period of time not only on January 6th and they are continuing to widen that net looking at flight records and who bought tickets and who booked hotels and and all of this stuff for what you’re going to go the FBI is going to go and investigate people who showed up there on the lawn on the capital you look at what they’re and this is this istics it’s it’s it is absolutely Scare Tactics so when we look at the power of the government and how they’re now turning on the American people for political reasons we can see where even the best of intentions with some of these pieces of legislation can lead to the very worst places what to speak of the fact that we have limited resource and limited people yeah what are they not investigating you talked about the DEA what what about the FBI and all these millions of people are coming across our border are they tracking who they are no they’re not are they tracking where they’re going no they’re not we have no idea people coming from the Middle East and Asia and Eastern Europe and Venezuela gang members like all of this stuff is happening right before our very eyes and they’re going and knock in on my friend’s door and LA because he brought his 14-year-old son to Washington DC that week and here’s the question um was the FBI there how many how many people were there and how come they don’t have to answer that exactly they don’t say why not be transparent also they should be there like the government should be there in case some [ __ ] goes sideways ex right that’s I’m so I’m sure they’re there but are some of the agents not good just like some dentists suck are some of the agents not good and are some of the agents encouraging people to go in because that could be true too because if we look at what happened with the governor of uh Michigan Right was it Michigan or Minnesota Michigan that story is Bonkers it is when you find what was it like 11 of the people involved in the kidnapping scheme were FBI informant right what yeah and these two dopes who just like just dumb asses like adiq dumb asses that just cont stricted to this [ __ ] they cosplay and they we’re going to kidnap her definitely we’re going to [ __ ] get Liberty done they don’t know what they’re doing they’re stupid yeah and those poor [ __ ] have to go to jail yeah exactly and the whole thing was scheduled and set up by FBI informant like that seems crazy aren’t there real problems instead of like creating problems and arresting people for those problems aren’t there real problems going on and if there’s not like you guys good at your job we trust in you and there are like you know I I know some great FBI agents and there are people who are doing who are doing good work absolutely I’ve met great FBI agents nice people good people Patriots absolutely but they’re like dentists some of them are great they’re this is I mean it’s just you know it’s it’s can say militaries and law enforcement like yes you are going to find those few for sure they’re there but but with um so I’ve talked to different people than the FBI and what they shared is that there’s kind of like a bifurcation in the agency where there are people who are really really angry and frustrated about the politicization of the FBI that’s occurring by the heads um and then there are others who are just like full send we’re on board let’s go uh and it’s it’s creating a lot of friction and a lot of fear within the agency um I the agency people get confused that’s the C that’s probably probably some similar things going on there but within the FBI a lot of fear that uh you got to watch what you say around even your own colleagues and your own peers because there are people who are on different sides which is horrible like you are on the side of America yeah you were on the side of the American people and upholding the rule of law and and securing our country going after the bad guys well when the bad guys now become your neighbor down the street we’re we’re in a very different uh realm a dangerous one it’s just how it is with people Red Sox fans hate Yankee fans just like they’re in the same country you’re going to have conflict even inside the FBI you’re going to have conflict in every group you’re going have power struggles you know you’re either with Bob or you’re not if you want to make it in this business you want to get to the top of this agency you got to stay with Bob and Bob’s [ __ ] calling the shots I’m on team Bob you know like [ __ ] Mike and then that’s what happens with people it it happens in everything and you have people that are they go in with good intentions and they get corrupted by systems that are corrupt that’s where for for the you know across whether it’s the FBI the Department of Justice all of these it matters you know who who’s in charge yeah these are all civilian Le organizations uh they are political appointees and you know in in theory they are the people who should be held accountable but they are setting that tone did you hear what AOC said she said the people that are Str they’re coming in to this country most of them it’s because of climate change I didn’t hear that one it’s amazing it is straight out of South Park it’s straight out of South Park go wow like what yeah I know oh that’s the only reason oh like is there more has the climate changed more than I know you do do you know something I don’t know like what are you saying yeah what’s going on down there the best are those those clips I just saw one on uh in Instagram the other day from like 1985 where a newscaster is I think it might even been black and white and she’s saying the the climate change scientists tell us that we may only have 10 years before the Earth is destroyed 1992 is going to be the year and then whoever made this clip they juxtaposed her clip with one from uh Bernie Sanders saying the exact same thing with a different date you know how many decades later problem is when you fear Monger you distract people from the real issue like what is really going on like how bad are we [ __ ] up the planet you know here’s one that doesn’t get discussed enough we’ve killed everything in the ocean the the ocean is depleted what was the number Jamie like 90% of the big fish are gone yeah some crazy number like that because of just just imagine how py iic it is to have a a species that goes into another dimension that it’s not a resident of and uses Nets and just takes everything it can get and catches a bunch of dolphins and [ __ ] there that doesn’t want anyway and they all die exactly a new Global study concludes that 90% of all large fishes have disappeared from the world’s oceans in the past half century in 50 years so that’s a c M that’s a disaster of Epic Proportion when it comes to like ecology and when it comes to the just the the the environment of the world itself we’re killing most cuz we like sushi we’re killing we’re killing most of what’s in the ocean it’s bananas yeah and so that is getting ignored because everyone is talking about fossil fuels and I wonder how much of this is pushed by foreign countries through social media because there is a thing that you can do and nudge conversations in a certain way with Bots and with fake statistics and with fear mongering and meanwhile China is opening hundreds of new coal power plants they’re they’re they’re doubling down on coal and I think through Tik Tock and through probably Facebook and YouTube and all these different things and Instagram I’m sure there’s countless Bots that are putting out videos and pushing narratives and finding the way into your algorithm and they affect the way people think about things and guess what if you go to Chinese Tik Tok it’s all academic accomplishments martial arts demonstrations science achievements and you can’t go on after 10 p.m. right and me know in America it’s dudes with fake eyelashes reading stories to Toddlers and it’s everybody telling you the ocean’s going to boil yeah it’s weird it’s Osama Bin Laden’s letter it to America yeah the letter to America thing was wild too everybody’s like wow you know Osama Bin Laden had a point my gosh that that’s I I had a dinner the other night with with a a a a family it was it was uh during the holiday of Passover and this this question came up about uh what would happen if another 911 style terrorist attack or some major um incident like that came up in our country today would it have that same kind of unifying effect that occurred after that attack on 911 and when you look at things like that like the Osama Bin Laden letter and you look at uh how there there is I mean there there’s an entire not an entire generation but there’s a lot of people now who I wouldn’t be surprised if they said well you know such an attack was justified and and not have that same kind of sense of unity of like hey no matter our differences we got to stand together as Americans and that’s a that’s a that should be a serious concern it’s it should be a serious concern also when you really take into consideration how many genuinely dumb people there are and when you have a situation like October 7th in Israel I saw within days before Israel did what they did in Palestine within days I saw people justifying the attack on October 7th because of the treatment that Israel has given to the Palestinians I’m like hey that’s crazy that’s crazy that’s crazy to say that you think people should be indiscriminately shot and killed and just in Mass at a at a [ __ ] Rave like paratrooping and you think that’s okay because of what Israel’s done but guess what those people didn’t do that right those people at the Rave and those people that are on the border those are apparently according to Ari those are the the hippies right they’re the ones who want to be they’re the ones who don’t believe that we should be there yeah they don’t believe in borders they want to be close to the Palestinians right exactly and that that’s where you know some of the things that they’re chanting at at uh that these protesters are chanting at Columbia University and some of the other ones we hope that October 7th happens 10,000 times over they say you know celebrating Hamas this ismus terrorist organization it it’s it is it’s it’s um you know I I I don’t I don’t think we can just dismiss them as just being stupid you know what I mean like these kids are going to Ivy League schools they are they are being absolutely manipulated and there is there is a very intentional ideological war that is being waged in this example by these radicalism groups like Hamas and they had plan this they’ve been doing this for hundreds of years and they’re using technology and they’re using other means to be able to to achieve that end no doubt as is Russia as is China they’ve infiltrated universities you know the the famous Yuri banov speech from 1984 it’s which is crazy when you hear it today because he called it he knew it was going to happen and it’s happening and it’s happening from college campuses outward so the most radical of these ideologies are being promoted on colleges because the kids are the youngest they don’t have jobs and Real World Experience they don’t have they don’t they don’t they’re young they they have ideology they’re they’re a little bit unrealistic and they’re all captured by this status game that going on on campus where you’re trying to be the most radical like oh he’s so radically Pro Palestine he’s so hot you know and then that really becomes a thing you become virtuous and you become attractive you become interesting without actually being interesting just because you have this rabid adherence to an ideology that’s right now it’s in Vogue and that’s really what it is and I think a lot of that is funded by Foreign governments and there’s a lot of evidence that points to it and we should consider it as a possibility and don’t dismiss it as a conspiracy theory consider it as a possibility and so this is the question about things like Tik Tok like and and Twitter and all of them all of them cuz I guarantee you it’s not just foreign countries kids I guarantee you there are people in this country that are using it I know businesses do it yes I know I guarantee you people do it to try to influence the way people think about things and when you see posts I’ve seen posts multiple times saying outrageous things and I’ll just okay let me click on this guy and it’s usually some letters and a numbers and name maybe and a bunch of numbers and then I click and I’m realized oh fake person just go through all this stuff posts yeah it’s all just retweeting inflamatory stuff and it’s just nutty [ __ ] crazy politic takes and like really aggressive takes on things and like wow how many of them are there yeah I there there’s no there’s no question that this is happening and and the social media algorithms are feeding it and playing playing right into it and in our attention and our minds are the commodity 100% And if they can just trick you into buying some stuff along the way that be great exactly exactly who ever thought that your data would be so valuable that’s the thing about when like you and I were younger it meant nothing your data meant nothing like nobody what is what are you talking about my data about my right what is that why would anybody be interested in that remember my first inclination that data meant something was I bought Dianetics I bought that book in like 1994 when I first moved to Hollywood and Scientology never stopped sending me things they never yeah they I was like oh that’s how they get you yeah and then they get you to join I guess you have to give them a piece give him a taste what you doing you join the group yeah and so data now is responsible for the largest corporations in terms of like the amount of money yeah like think about Apple how big apple is and how much data Apple has and Apple’s better at with data than Android systems are and Google’s terrible with it yeah like but they’re it’s just like they’re just siphoning off your data yeah and that’s the fallacy and that’s that’s kind of the the falsehood of the argument who are for people who are pushing that Tik Tok ban bill is if they’re claiming they’re concerned about data security and privacy and making sure that our data is protected um you got to do it across the board yes because every single one of these social media big tech company is collecting as much as they possibly can and if you think they’re not selling it uh to the highest bidder whether they be an American company or a foreign company of course they are this is their this is their business model wasn’t there some controversy about one of the DNA companies whether it’s ancestry or one of the other ones there was where sold their data to China I think so I don’t remember which one you sold everybody’s jeans like I didn’t know you could do that I wouldn’t have signed up for that you could sell my jeans to China like if China was like offering free DNA test China was it no it was they didn’t sell to China who they sell it to uh CL Smith kle a big Pharma oh that’s even scarier and who do they sell it to they can sell it to anybody else too right says 23 of me sells anonymous drug for 20 million even that much anous guys it’s Anonymous of course of course wasn’t there one with China though with ancestry I mean yeah this is 23 and me now this is ancestry also this is anesty as well uh interesting2 million just I remember something about China I mean I just typed in data sold and that’s what comes up I might be on the wrong forums though I might be on some conspiratorial forums I might have gone too deep on the JFK Rabbit Hole the other night this is what you said oh okay China there it goes uh groundbreaking move that has sent shock waves through the Biotech Industry 23 in May the leading personal G geonomics and biotechnology companies officially announced the sale of its entire DNA database to the Chinese government for an astonishing $10 billion wow yeah so that’s the one I was looking for but I’ll just add that that’s only coming from a medium article not any other articles are saying that Jamie why you got to [ __ ] it up with facts I’m just trying to understand what’s happening I don’t know J is on it why you gotta [ __ ] it up with facts yeah who knows but but your data is extremely valuable that’s weird and it’s also valuable to humans it’s humans selling other humans data whether you call them Facebook or Google or the DEA or the it’s just a bunch of people and if they don’t have to follow the same rules that you follow then we have real problems and when you have entire groups of people that are dependent upon technology that’s controlled almost entirely by one ideology and then you let the government get involved like they did with Twitter and you see with the the Twitter files you’re like oh Jesus like this is bad like you let the government have a back door and they started sneaking around and telling you what to do what not to do and you were complying right people were telling other people that they couldn’t have experts from Harvard and Stanford talk about medical problems yes you got to stop this stop those experts from Talking remove those posts ban those people like the government is saying that exactly exactly and even if they’re not even if they’re not saying hey do this or else even if they’re not making an explicit threat just the fact you’re getting requests from the government what what would you like what are you going to do the FBI is calling and saying like hey we’d really like you to do X Y or Z in my mind be like okay like what am I going to be investigated for outside of this if I say no also what are the consequences going to be if you’re a person working at Twitter right this is not you they’re not investigating you they’re investigating someone else right so if they’re going in they’re talking about these posts like hey this expert is spreading misinformation and this is like they’re causing vaccine hesitancy or whatever they’re causing we need to stop this put a stop to this like why is the government being involved in a dispute between doctors and the pharmaceutical drug companies like what are you doing and how do you know did you guys audiate this did you guys get in front of a court did you guys get in front of experts did people testify did you have someone who’s pro and con this someone who lays out this argument did you examine this no no no you didn’t now you just contacted Twitter yeah and Twitter said okay because what are they going to do they’re [ __ ] Executives if you’re working at Twitter and this old Twitter and you’re like super woke right and you know you just been drinking lattes and going into the meditation room then all a sudden you get an email from the FBI like I don’t want to [ __ ] up this job I got a cushy job and you’re like okay what do I have to do okay I’ll do that yeah exactly so you do that and that’s not good it’s not good to have that kind of power being wielded by other people they’re just people you could call them the FBI you can call them the DNA they’re human beings and human beings that have that kind of power over other human beings in a country that’s supposed to Value Freedom that that’s the thing in end of itself is unamerican and that that’s where this isn’t just like some Rogue FBI agent doing this or some Rogue uh you know bureaucrat and an agency who’s going and doing this this is an expressed policy coming from the Biden Administration in this example uh to go and Sil you use use big Tech to silence certain people’s voices and to decide who who who does the government want to be heard and who needs to be silenced and obviously there we could talk all day about the Cozy relationship that many politicians have with big Pharma and it it you know it’s not a surprise that they’re going to act in favor of big Pharma rather than in favor of the truth or Free Speech or People’s Health and well-being but the fact that this was and is the Biden administration’s policy to decide that they are the Arbiter of what is misinformation disinformation what is information what is true and what is not and that they will use the tools available to them both within the government as well as outside of the government in the case of big Tech and social media to be able to enforce that and that’s that’s that’s really the you know for who aren’t paying attention to this stuff at home and are just trying to live their lives and you know go to work and take care of their kids and and just live their life um it’s easy to fall victim to like well the government wants what’s best for us and they don’t want us to be manipulated by misinformation or disinformation and and so this is the line that they use like we’re doing this for you we’re trying to protect you so once again we’re going to take away some of your freedom and some of your privacy uh and tell you what you know who you should be listening to and what information uh you should be getting the king knows yes the king will tell the people how to live yes this is how you wash this is coming from the same people who are telling us that boys can become girls on any day of the week because they feel like it yeah Rachel LaVine is the first female Admiral exactly exactly and win which is ins and then then they stand there and say well we are the champions for women if they cannot even accept objective truth we’re living in the strangest of strange times and I I also think that a lot of that stuff is being accentuated by social media manipulated intentionally because I think if you can just get those narratives out there enough that affects the gullible people that affects sensitive people that affects people on the Spectrum it affects a lot of people and then they start getting rewarded for leaning into one type of ideology or and then it’s AFF people we are affected by our environment and to pretend otherwise is just silly especially when you’re talking about young people young people are particularly susceptible to propaganda which is why they have young people wear suicide vests yeah that’s why you can’t get a 50-year-old agnostic dude to wear a [ __ ] suicide vest you know he’s going to go what am I going to get when I blow up I’m going to go to heaven can you show me you got a video is there a YouTube video I can watch like what are you what are you saying yeah but you could talk a 5-year-old into it and that’s what they do and that’s sick it is and it’s just as sick to try to like indoctrinate them into these crazy ideologies because it’s just people want other people to join their [ __ ] team it’s it’s a common thing that people do that’s what’s so concerning about uh like we we are seeing the fruits of the shift in our education system away from actually teaching about the Constitution and you know the the the founding documents and The Federalist Papers and the thought process behind uh that that went into forming the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in our schools basic basic government basic 101 on What is this country really about what is the foundation that we were built upon and what does it mean to you in your in your everyday life and talking about the Bill of Rights in the First Amendment and going down the list because that has been absent largely from education system for so long it it it uh creates again this vulnerability of young people being susceptible there is they’re not rooted in ideology of freedom and what that means in our lives and why it’s important why we will fight and why we will fight to defend and protect it and so then they’re like well I don’t know maybe maybe what Hamas is offering uh is is is a superior ideology or a superior value system than what we have here here in America which a lot of these kids are saying whether they realize fully what it is or not they are they are falling victim to that uh ideology that radicalism as ideology which would be completely oppressive in the lives that they they are trying to live here yeah the the whole proposal behind it is best highlighted by the meme queer for Palestine and then Palestine for queers the difference between like that idea is so crazy like what what you’re saying is so nuts yes and it’s just this [ __ ] the system [ __ ] the government [ __ ] the patriarchy it’s this ideology that gets promoted that’s it’s like frivolously wanting to destroy the foundation of this country yes and they’ll say it openly we want to just stop colonialism okay and then what then what happens what do you have what do you have you have Warlords what are you going to have what’s going to run the country how you going to run it what are you going to do with all the guns well that’s that’s where you know the this again Hamas had this whole thing planned like you know gaining the compassion and the sympathy of the world and how did they plan that how did they think that they were going to do that that they knew how Israel would react and they were ready with social media and and all of all of the means of communication to play on the sympathies of people the compassion and kind-hearted people around the world and uh turn people’s attention away from the was it 12200 people that were murdered and killed and the people that were raped on that attack on October 7th their their goal being ultimately to influence populations around the world towards this uh islamist ideology that they want to govern the world under Islamic rule under Sharia law and we’ve seen already how it’s been successful in some parts of the world even in Europe in France somebody was saying that um I think it’s 25% of France is uh already living under Sharia law uh and so the this this ideological war that’s being waged is not it’s being it’s being waged by one side and there’s there’s not a counter narrative there’s not a counter War being waged on the other side to defeat it with a superior ideology of freedom and what we value a society and that that puts this Mission and this effort and it’s not just Hamas obviously Al-Qaeda and Isis and that you know other terrorist organizations around the world they all have that same that same objective which poses this this great uh the greatest short and long-term threat to people who value Freedom uh and and to civilization and we’re also so uniquely vulnerable in that we we do have this sort of democracy you know it’s it’s obviously heavily influenced by money um but and then with the open borders so you have all these people funneling into the country and so you have an erosion of confidence in our entire system because people are very aware of that and the more people are let out of jail after they commit violent crimes the more people are aware of that if you looked at the whole picture all the things that are in play right now particularly like with the open borders and giving people plane tickets and flying them to all these different cities like if I was going to try to destroy the country that’s how I would do it if I was going to try to destroy the country I would radicalize the kids I would give them the stupidest ideas and and run them in their head boys can be girls girls can be boys boys can compete against girls in sports if they think they’re a girl um queers for Palestine you know the death to the Jews yell it out unironically MH on campuses to have the presidents of those colleges and universities defend it which was wild completely with cameras on thems scar scar they are it shows how afraid they are of actually calling out what you know what is right and what is wrong I think it’s also shows how they live in a bubble and I don’t think they interact with the real world and I think when they did the shock was probably it was it was probably horrifying to just to realize how most people feel about what they said like oh it’s not it’s not harassment and unless it’s actionable like what the [ __ ] are you saying you’re saying death to the Jews so so you have to kill Jews right and then it’s harassment exactly is that a little late I I was I I was shocked like everyone else at at not only their statements but how every one of them sitting at that table on that day said almost the exact same thing and knowing how much preparation because when people come I don’t care who you are but when you come and testify before Congress you go through preparation and if you’re the president of an IV league university you’re going to have a whole team of people sitting there telling you okay well here are the questions you should probably be prepared to answer the the question that Elise stonic asked was not outside of the realm of like here’s what the frequently asked questions would be yeah and and the fact that their answers were all the same and how how they were smirking as they were giving that answer uh I I was I was very surprised by maybe I shouldn’t have been as surprised uh given what they’re doing I think we’re sending our kids to cult camps that’s what I think I think they get indoctrinated into this they don’t all some of them skate through some of them are wise some of them realize this is crazy can’t wait to get the [ __ ] out of here and get my degree and then go to work but some of them just get locked in and then it becomes their identity and it it’s dangerous it’s dangerous also because look kids don’t want to listen okay and if you have kids they don’t want to listen to you they want to rebel and when they finally get to go away somewhere and be on their own and your dad’s a banker you’re like [ __ ] that [ __ ] capitalism is [ __ ] like and you’re wearing a chuar t-shirt you don’t know what the [ __ ] you’re doing using chat gbt to answer your homework you like the whole thing is nuts and then you’re allowing those young people to just trying out being an adult with a voice and an opinion and trying to be profound yeah and there’s no consequences to to actions oh it’s weird it’s weird it’s weird it’s weird that people can’t see it and I’m glad that some people are pulling funding like there’s a lot of people that are donors are like hey [ __ ] you like this is crazy yeah and so that’s fortunate that there’s some sort of a blowback but you know even that woman from Harvard even though she got she was caught plagiarizing many times like if you were a grad student you got caught plagiarizing that that would be a rap for you but meanwhile she keeps making the same amount of money they just gave her a different job they didn’t even firer no the whole thing’s crazy it is the whole thing is crazy it’s like that’s supposed to be Harvard it’s supposed to be the smartest people amongst us and when you heard that lady talk like hey how did she get to the top that seems bananas it seems like you probably had some better choices like yeah was there any other considerations she got that gig exactly the plagiarism doesn’t freak you guys out like isn’t that like opposed to everything that you stand for yes okay yeah so what are you doing you’re not you’re you’re not the best and the brightest anymore you guys are doing nonsense right you’re this is a cult Camp you got a cult Camp you’re indoctrinating people and where are you getting your money like and how much of that money is coming from China and how much of the influence is coming from Russia how much of the influence like in the past has shaped these people so you have the system where academics go to school they learn they get indoctrinated and they start teaching and they never enter into the world world and they make this cycle and those are the people that keep indoctrinating more people and now they’re infesting these social media apps and they’re infesting all of these tech companies and everybody else is like what are you doing exactly this is crazy yeah but it’s all coming from universities it’s coming from the kids that get indoctrinated these ideologies and I remember when I first started talking about this in like 2015 or 16 whenever the Jordan Peterson thing was happening PE or it was at first was Brett Weinstein and Evergreen college and people like why do you care what’s happening in these obscure colleges like go hey they’re going to graduate yes like when I See Fire and it’s 5 miles away I don’t go oh it’s 5 miles away I go hey we got to get the [ __ ] out of here now get out of here now Fire’s coming get out like this is like you don’t see that these kids are going to leave school if they’re so crazy they believe that you should have a day where you tell white people they have to stay home when it used to be that it was an appreciation of people of color so they could take the day off and they would get paid and you go oh I really miss Mike you know I I really miss Tanya it’ be great if she was here and boy it’s hard not working with her you know and doing her job and my job at the same time yeah yeah okay yeah that makes sense but telling people white people they have to stay home and then threatening them with baseball bats if they don’t have people roaming the parking lot with B I saw that I was like this is crazy and so many people were saying why do you care well they they’re going to go out in the world and if this is happening there it’s not an isolated situation it’s happening other people and then the Jordan Peterson thing in Toronto and like okay guys and now everyone is sort of realizing like oh this is a real problem this is in infesting the world this ideology is pervasive and it’s not well thought out this is not just like fact based objective assessment being kind and understanding and taking into account all the variables no it’s like a cult yeah the the problem is not everyone is is seeing what’s really happening you still have the aoc’s of the world and many people within the leadership of the democratic party who um this is this is the direction we are headed yeah and and that that’s that’s a very dangerous thing for for so many reasons but obviously because they’re in a position of power and how they’re using that power and how they’re undermining the rule of law and choosing again who gets to speak freely and who gets to go and do whatever they want break the law yeah um you know disturb the peace acts of violence no because what what you think that their cause is Justified right but meanwhile others who would do the very same thing be charged with a crime imagine if AOC got to write history books and they said why did people sneak into America in 2024 oh climate change said 20 years from now climate change was so bad that people were walking from Guatemala to get plane tickets to fly to Michigan like for real are you sure oh my God are you sure that happened maybe there’s other variables what do you think maybe he’s encouraged maybe there’s a whole Red Cross map that they could follow hey guys yeah yeah maybe some of the stops along the way they only speak Chinese and they have Chinese signs and it seems like there’s like a concerted effort to get people in from China hey something going on yeah no just climate change oh so simple so nice to be able to just that’s just that’s just as bad as the you know people who break into to stores in New York City they’re just hungry and trying to steal bread for their starving kids yeah that was a good one too yeah yeah that lady forget like the you know the the guys who go in and like steal 50 Apple iPhones from the store and run out and jump in their car all of these other things it’s it’s it’s hard to believe that a person who’s a member of Congress can say that with a straight face well the best one was do you ever see the conversation that she had with the the news reporter where the reporter was asking her to clarify her thoughts on Israel and Palestine yes I did that one’s wonderful she had nothing to say it seem like she didn’t even know like where they were like where like if you gave her a map and just had no names on it like which one is what which one of these is Israel yeah like what do what do you know about the history what do you know about what in 1947 anything like what what was going on before that who lived there first you know what’s Judea what’s that place about what’s the what’s the Biblical significance of these locations any you know what how long has this dispute been going on yeah you know what’s happening how much are we funding this it it there there are these uh girls who again I don’t know where this video I’m sure it’s everywhere now but they were uh left Colombia to go and stand with the students protesting at NYU and uh somebody said well why are you here they’re like oh we’re here to stand in solidarity with the protesters um what is what is NYU doing that you’re protesting oh I don’t really know and then she turned to her friend she’s like why are we here what are they doing that’s wrong and the friend said I wish I was more educated because I don’t really know either well you know they’re just out there being virtuous somebody asked us to come so we’re just coming to stand in solidarity well there’s this thing thing that you can do now where if you just yell out the thing that’s popular now you become cooler than you really are yeah it’s a new thing you can do and if you’re like really rabbit about it you know and then you can demand other people do it on their social media like how come you’re not putting a black square up on Tuesday yeah yeah like I mean this this all of these things I these these were major drivers for me in leaving the the insanity of what has become the today’s Democratic party and where I have seen and and heard directly from so many people who um who are who are or have already wake woken up to that fact of literally just being Common Sense minded Americans um who are just there’s no explanation there’s no logic there’s no rationale that you can give for these kinds of things happening and not just by some Rogue member of Congress I mean it’s it’s happening from the very top yeah and it’s um it’s it’s the consequence of money being involved in politics and that seems like that web is so deep and those roots run so deep that to try to stop that now is almost impossible it’s almost like the only way to solve this is to give corporations conscience it’s like the only way to solve this is you’ve got to figure out like who is funding what and why why is so much money being spent on this versus that and one of the things about AI is that if AI is asked at a certain point in time when it becomes like sentient or really superpowerful like what is a solution between the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and what’s the cause of it and AI gives like a real comprehensive analysis of the US government funded coup from 20 4 and how NATO has been moving arms closer to Russia and like lays it all out and like this is the definitive objective no ideology no [ __ ] reason why this is happening and these are the companies that are pushing the conflict and this is the amount of money they’re making from it and here’s the amount of money that’s missing because there’s corruption involved in Ukraine as much as people don’t want to admit one of the wildest ones was Candace Owens on Twitter where the New York Times They t tweeted her like what evidence do you have of corruption in Ukraine and she’s like from your own [ __ ] newspaper and she starts posting links and it’s like do you guys not even check before you tweet out do journalism well they were also the ones that said the New York Times said that that bomb landed in the hospital and killed 500 people and it apparently it landed in the parking lot and killed a small number of people yeah and it probably was not from Israel but was actually some one of the Islamic terrorists had launched a bomb and it accidentally landed in the parking lot yeah yeah and no no effort to actually truly not not in the fine print on the back page of the paper but actually make sure that they got the facts right well and certainly no equivalent coverage of the actual True Story versus the original story which you should do like it’s like yeah maybe you got bad information explain how you got bad information same people the newspaper read this now they know like let them know don’t just [ __ ] hide it don’t pretend you didn’t [ __ ] up yeah like I mean it’s it’s the same reason why with Julian Assange you know back when uh you know his criminal charges were first coming up uh they were saying hey this is a threat to journalism that you can’t you can’t suppress the free press it is a violation of the First Amendment and if you go after Julian Assange today they could go after a New York Times journalist tomorrow M I think we were seeing it from The Washington Post and some of the other mainstream traditional news sources but the the script was totally flipped and they shut up real quick and turned their sites against Julian Assange after he released Hillary Clinton’s emails why they are political they have become unfortunately a political arm of the Democrat Elite and it’s the same reason why they stopped uh reporting on actual corruption in Ukraine because they get okay what’s the narrative that we’ve got to push yeah and they’re not going to go against it not allow facts and journalism to get in the way of that it’s spooky it’s it’s spooky for people that count on them for the news it’s like okay now who do I have to trust who could who do who who can I listen to and it turns out it’s like a lot of independent people and those are the only ones that are they’re free they’re free to actually report for now you know these laws are did did did that Tik Tock thing pass uh it did pass so that’s it’s done that’s it y Jesus yeah do you know Adam Curry it’s it will be challenged I’m sure it’ll be challenged in court uh I don’t know I don’t know by who or what what the next steps will be but I’m I’m sure it will be challenged I believe that President Biden signed it into law um actually I know he did but the the timeline of execution you know I think what they they gave something like 180 days for Tik Tok to be sold to an American company oh great give it to Bill Gates but but even even if that like you know that’s that’s a pretty uh a pretty tight turnaround when you look at that but that doesn’t negate all of the other Provisions within that law that further violate our civil liberties do you know Adam Curry I don’t Adam Curry used to be an MTV VJ he’s the original podcaster he’s the podfather the the real number one brilliant guy but um I had him on the podcast quite a while ago and he said that all this uproar over Tik Tok is total [ __ ] he said what it is is the Chinese are eating our lunch like they’ve developed an app that is more addictive and collects data just like our apps do but and we don’t like it we don’t like it because their their one is way better and so they’re trying to do something to shut it down because they’re using it to influence us and like Hey we’re the only ones allowed to do that and he that’s what he thinks and when he said that I was like I never really considered that cuz I always was like oh this Tik Tok is like really bad you got to like read the fine print and it is bad I mean if you look at the just the terms of service like when you’re you’re agreeing you know the conditions that you agree to like they they get to monitor your keystrokes so that means they can probably monitor your passwords they can probably check out all your emails they get to monitor other computers that are connected to the network even if they don’t have Tik Tok on them like it’s bananas yeah but who else is doing that yeah exactly they that’s the point when you and I are having a conversation and then all a sudden we talk about Toyota trucks and there’s an app for a Toyota truck like hey did you guys know that we were talking about are you listening Google exactly what are you doing like how do you Google meta Facebook Instagram all of it how the [ __ ] do you know what I’m interested in right exactly cuz they’re trying to sell you things they’re all trying to sell you things of course of course yeah and the best way to sell people things is find out what the [ __ ] they’re talking about yeah what do you want y yeah I mean it makes total sense of course like Elon and X was well Elon specifically was the old only one who stood up amongst our American big tech companies to say no this is a very bad Bill the others to my knowledge were very very silent or they were actually coming out in support of it competition makes sense the other the other piece of that is um other than x and Tik Tock the Biden Administration has been very successful at working with Google uh and meta Facebook Instagram in being able to control uh quote unquote disinformation and information so when you look at from a government standpoint well why why if you’re concerned about data security and privacy why why aren’t you doing it across the board and treating every social media company that Americans use with that same that same standard well maybe they’re they’re just going after the ones that they can’t actually control and intimidate into doing their work for them which is why it makes sense why Elon Musk and others would say well of course if if today it’s Tik Tok then why wouldn’t it be X tomorrow it’s interesting to me that people don’t seem to understand the value and importance of a guy like Elon who’s this wild billionaire character likes to dunk on people like that guy being like did you see that thing that he posted the other day because there’s uh one of the guys who was like from Facebook I believe uh said that uh what Elon is doing is corruption on like an Enron level I think you compared it to so so Elon posted a photo of a dog laying its balls on another dog’s head and I did not see this it was like dunking on this dude I’m like how Wild is this guy and then someone said did you really SP spent 44 million billion dollars on on Twitter so you can dunk on people and he writes 100% he’s like I don’t know how he has time for this I mean I don’t get it I don’t understand it doesn’t make any sense to me but Hees do everything else that he’s doing he’s a fascinating guy yeah I mean his his brain is a [ __ ] tornado of information just flying around all the time and I think it helps him to be able to just [ __ ] around and be silly yeah but he was the only one that recognized that there’s a real problem if you have the entire narrative being controlled by one ideology through all the social media apps and that’s what’s going on exactly they’re all tech companies tech companies have height hired people that are coming from universities and they’re all infected by this ideology and it’s nuts that that’s the case yeah and then they’ve done a really good job like if you go to like gab or any of other especially initially like it was so nuts you’re like oh my God I got to get out of here it was like like going to a Nazi party like oh like even if you’re not a Nazi like their SE KY in the corner like [ __ ] I got to get out of here like I don’t know how it those rooms I don’t know how it is now but I guarantee some of that was fake too I guarantee when they came up with these alternative platforms that they people wanted to squash the idea of having people that were free outside of Twitter and Facebook that were reasonable people that just wanted objective conversation which I guarantee most of them were most of them were tired of being censored on Twitter and Shadow ban and all that [ __ ] so they try these other whether it’s gab or truth social or any of them right I guarantee you if look if I was a intelligence agent and I was inclined to do I would get in there and start SE Highland I’d go crazy i’ i’ post the the most racist memes and have everybody salute I’d go nutty I’d have fake accounts liking those things and getting excited about it reposting it because that’s how you make a place toxic and that’s how you kill the competition right I would do that I would do that if I was running Twitter if like if you’re just if you were just a I obviously wouldn’t do it me as a person if I was a evil [ __ ] I would be like there’s a way to do it it makes sense makesense how do you make it a place where people want to be how hard is that to do you hire a bunch of people to do it you get algorithms you you develop them you start posting memes and [ __ ] easy now now you make it toxic now I look in there go g you got to get out of here exactly yeah and so then you don’t have an alternative and you go back to Twitter and you just deal with the fact you’re being censored and you deal with the fact that if you’re a left-wing person you could say the most outrageous [ __ ] even call for violence against people Twitter caught selling data to government spies while complaining about surveillance in for a penny in for in for a data m is this recently what is this saying now that they have a deal with a company called dat data Miner and what does data Miner do uses AI technology to constantly monitor public activity on social media and other parts of the web in doing so its clients often law enforcement can receive customized real-time alerts of what’s brewing on what’s brewing online which helps them respond to natural disasters or more ominously spy on protests no The Intercept okay but also does allow them real-time alerts of what’s brewing online so you’re not saying they’re censoring people you’re saying that they’re allowing them to look at data so that data could be like how many people are posting about some sort of a protest where they want to burn down a church or whatever the [ __ ] it is you you you’re talking about a different thing than Banning people from posting things especially these people that are experts from Harvard and MIT and this is a different thing I’ve seen I’ve seen I mean there’s a data minor app I’ve seen how the information flows through I don’t know what the it says the story revealed the surveillance firm pays for special access to a fire hose of data from Twitter I’d be curious about what yeah what does what that fire hose fire hose of data is says data minor has a unique contractual relationship with Twitter whereby they have realtime access to the full stream of all publicly available tweets so but it’s just publicly available tweets they’re already available so it’s like a very high level search function a company representative set an email to the government agency P the report so is that like a a search function like because it’s all public tweets so they have access to the stream of all publicly available tweets but doesn’t everybody have access to the publicly available tweets not with AI right software right monitoring it right but if you did have an AI like like say if you had an AI whether it’s Google’s AI or any Ai and you said hey go look at Twitter tell me who’s talking about Nazis right curating curating the tweets that are coming into your feed that’s part of what he’s been complaining about online is how many people and they’ve blocked access to many programs that that did have access to the API because it costs money for them every time someone’s taking that so they just kind of cut it off like I used to use tweet deck to look at Twitter all the time that doesn’t work anymore you have to pay for it oh interesting oh interesting how come because I honestly don’t know arguably it would just be like it was a good feature so like might as well make people pay for it because they need to make money but how much tweet that cost it’s part of pro so you have they pay for pro okay it’s like 20 bucks a month or some [ __ ] and then there’s the other thing where like apple takes a slice of that if you’re getting it off of your uh iPhone right if you get from the App Store if you that’s where if you if you pay for it on like Twitter on the website no but if you use the phone app on your phone to do it that’s what I’m saying Apple’s got the wildest thing going they get 30% of everything they have so much money they have more money than countries there’s a lot of countries that don’t have as much money as Apple yeah I believe it it’s pretty nutty that’s being challenged I feel like in a lawsuit too right yes well there’s certain there’s certain things that Apple does that are thought to to be anti-competitive in a in kind of a creepy way and one of them that they just recently got rid of is the uh lightning connection right so uh up until iPhone 15 or 16 16 what are we on now 16 15 we’re on 15 now so up until 15 you used to be have to use a lightning connector which which only works on Apple devices right now you can use a USBC which is way better it’s better for data connect it’s better for connectivity it’s better for char in get faster charging like the Android phones like particularly like Samsung Galaxy to go to full charge is like an hour less time cuz it it’s uh it it takes faster watt charging than the iPhone does and for the longest time it would be much better transfer of data because of USBC it’s just it’s just a better more efficient system but Apple’s like yeah you got to use yeah so the European Union I think that was the problem they couldn’t sell them over there theym it illegal so then they had to switch it over to USBC so now everybody at least has a universal thing and then there’s the problem with text messaging so if uh you have an Android you send me a text message it comes out green and I send you one it comes green because it’s text it’s SMS and so now they’re they’re going to adopt RCS so the idea is since you can’t have iMessage on everything at least you’ll have encryption and you’ll be able to send large file sizes and that’s what RCS is which is like a higher level of text messaging that’s been enjoyed by people who use Androids but not when they communicate with iPhones iPhones were forcing people to use SMS it’s it’s shitty it’s inferior you get like Blurry images and videos it’s not the same resolution cuts it all down because them because it has to fit in the SMS format so now you’ll be able to share photos just like you will with an iPhone with a iPhone to iPhone interesting yeah so no more green uh green text messages no the the text messages will still be green oh interesting but now it be yeah they want want you to feel like [ __ ] they want you to feel like [ __ ] for having a different device I think I yeah exactly it works kids it does work the thing with kids I think with teenagers see if this is true um I believe I read that it was something like 86% of all teenagers it was some high number of of all teenagers use iPhones that like you’re shunned if you use an Android yeah which is crazy it is crazy it’s weird yeah but that’s how tribal people are we’re tribal about our cell phones it’s nuts we’re tribal about the kind of computers we use the kind of sneakers I’m an Adidas guy [ __ ] Nike you know like people are crazy yeah 87% of teens in the USA have an iPhone while 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone according to a survey from investment firm Piper sandord that is a monopoly it’s a huge Monopoly that is wild yeah it’s wild and how they control their app and how much money they make off of the apps well also their their whole uh ecosystem is amazing it’s really good like they figured out a lot of really good things yeah like it’s so convenient that I can write on my computer and then I can transfer it to my notes and it’s automatically on my phone exact I don’t have to do anything else iuse it all the time it’s so good yep that’s so good you can do that with Samsung you can do that with Android you can do that it’s just you know you’d have to switch systems and like relearn how the and it’s not hard to do they’re they’re pretty intuitive you know I have a Samsung phone I have an older one I have a Galaxy one of the Ultras that I used to think took a clear photo of the Moon but it’s actually [ __ ] yeah do you know that story you don’t know that no they got me they got me there was a a feature that’s still a feature it’s kind of amazing it’s called moonshot and so you could be looking at the moon if you look at the Moon with your iPhone and try to take a photo of it it looks like dog [ __ ] it looks terrible because it’s just like this blurry thing and even if you zoom it looks terrible but with Samsung’s when you zoom in it holds a square over the moon and it enhances it and it gives you like 100x Zoom so you get this crazy digital Zoom you zoom in on the moon and it looks really clear and you took a phone but it turned out it was just AI because no yes yes cuz some clever internet people cuz you can’t fool the internet what they did is they took a blurry image of the Moon and they put it on a desktop computer and then took a photo with the camera of the blurry image on the desktop computer and it filled it in and made it pretty wow you [ __ ] that’s kind of smart that’s a smart hack to figure it out I’ve seen people try to argue away and say well it’s actually no different than how AI enhances normal F no no now you take a picture you’re talking about the moon there’s there’s a lot of detail there yeah what if there’s a UFO I missed what there’s a UFO you’re trying to tell me the mother ship is circling around Moon and you’re lying to me you guys are liars but than that the technology is actually Superior on those phones the Samsung’s oh yeah it’s it’s quite a bit better the screens are quite a bit better the screens have an anti-reflective cating on the new uh s24 Ultra so even in bright sunlight when you’re outside you could read your screen perfect it’s doesn’t you don’t have the glare that you do when you’re trying to look at your phone like this you don’t have to do that with Sam interesting you also have have uh Superior battery life you only have like a tiny little circle that’s missing from the screen for the camera you don’t have that big ass stupid bar that’s in the front for face ID um there’s a lot of things that are it has a pen you could write on it like it’s and it has AI features it lets you translate in real time you and I can be having a conversation you could be speaking Spanish and it would show me in English in real time and then I could speak to you in English and it would show you in Spanish so the phone gets split down the middle so this side faces you and that side faces me and we would have a conversation and I could read what you’re saying and then you can wear these earbuds and it’ll translate it in real time oh wow which is crazy that’s incredible it’s crazy I tried using the the Google Translate app um when I was down at the border and talking to different people from different parts of the world and it sucked it like the intent I think was for that to happen is like you just turn on the microphone and then I could speak and they could see in the screen like it’s it’s translating into their language and then they could respond in their language and you’re just seeing it play out real time but it didn’t work it didn’t work it just didn’t work the thing froze or it didn’t translate and then you got to push all these buttons and then even then well the Samsung One is using Ai and I think it’s the most advanced version it also has a thing where it lets you organize your notes in AI so and also it’ll change the tone of your text messages like it’ll suggest things that are more polite or more friendly yeah there’s like modes that you can do so you can do AI for that you can also that might piss me off sometime if I don’t really want to write a polite text message right well then you don’t have to you could write it in your own language I you can write it however you want but then you can also ask it to make this more polite oh wow okay that’s what it is so it’s not say hey tulsy how about you be a little nicer doesn’t do that it’s not policing me it also will summarize web P so if you go to a web page I don’t want to read all this [ __ ] give me a summary and it’ll instantly say this is what’s going on this is the problem here’s here’s what’s the Dilemma yeah and you’re like oh it’ll break things down to you so it’s using AI on the phone in constructive yeah ways but 86% of kids don’t have it yeah weird the um have you heard of this unplugged phone that uh Eric Prince is yes doing yeah I have heard of it it’s um it’s interesting I I I just got one I haven’t set it up yet but it it it is what they’re saying is the most secure means of communication obviously technology is never 100% secure but the fact that it does not have the same ad ID numbers that every one of our other phones has Apple Samsung whatever makes it so that we are able to protect more of our information than we would otherwise right but do you get to use app with that like can you use Instagram they have their own uh they have their own operating system and their own apps but you can also download whatever apps you want to download but if you download sets the settings you you you are able to actually um make it so that Instagram is not able to collect the kind of data that they would otherwise yes so what is it operating on like what op is it like graphine like what is the operating system I haven’t set it up yet it is it is an operating system they they got the guy who as their CTO who created the Pegasus system oh great you could trust him that’s that was my question if you’re gonna make but first of all if you’re going to make honey pot phone yeah there’s two sides of that is if you created it then ideally you would know how to protect against it right yes for sure or you would say look the kind of people that on a phone like this these rah rah [ __ ] the government people like these type of people that might get visited by the FBI give him a phone call it the like the Patriot phone or whatever the [ __ ] you want to call it make it a nice little honey poot I’m not saying that it is no no no no well I that’s why I asked them like it sounds like uh this is the perfect kind of phone for people in the military or people are conducting different kinds of operations because of all of these protections and so on and so forth and they said they’re intentionally not selling to the US government because they don’t want that doubt to be in people’s minds that this is some kind of op that’s happening that will allow some kind of surveillance to take place anyway it’s interesting um that is interesting there there are other phones that do that um there’s phones that operate on um they operate on a an operating system called graphine OS so you take a phone like a Google phone and they degoogle it so they remove all the the Google stuff and then there’s there’s a bunch of detailed instructions of how to do it right and then they put this new operating system on when the new operating system works all your [ __ ] doesn’t work like all the normal Google services and all that stuff it’s a completely different operating system yeah yeah yeah so there they have figured out how to do both you can toggle on and off what mode you want to be in and it’s got the VPN and and everything else that’s suspicious hippo face like H yeah yeah skeptical hippo yeah um yeah if someone did figure something like out that’ be great I’ve asked Elon about that once because i’ had read this uh story about a Tesla phone he’s like oh God I hope we don’t have to make phones but it’s the way he said it I hope we don’t have to make phones interesting yeah yeah yeah cuz when you look at the interconnectedness between um you know Tesla and you look at obviously the power element and then the car element and then you look at um the content platform that they are building X into like the the vision that they have for it to be the One-Stop shop not only for all different kinds of media but for you know payment and interaction and business and commerce and everything else it it’s interesting when you look at that direction of it is also inter that if you have a Tesla and I have one I love it you you get apple carplay doesn’t come with no apple carplay [ __ ] offes [ __ ] off stupid use our [ __ ] so what can you use then just their organic well you can Bluetooth your phone like you can play music like if you have Spotify hooked up to your phone on Bluetooth you play a song on Spotify to play on that yeah and you also have like there’s a lot of options like Spotify is built into the system like so you could just like tell it you can like press it play Notorious BIG and just start playing random song you can tell what song to play you press a button you say hey navigate to edv Steakhouse bam it’ll take you there okay so and it’s got this big ass huge screen so you have this giant like I don’t know how how long it is what how long is the screen on our cars is like 18 in looks like it’s about 18 inch right and it’s just massive map so like for navigation and everything it’s great yeah but if I was going to make a phone I wouldn’t allow Android or Apple to like have carplay [ __ ] off right [ __ ] off use my [ __ ] and and then once you develop an X phone y I wouldn’t be surpris see it I could see it I’m I’m sure he’s thought of it I’m sure he’s thought of it other than me saying that to him I’m sure that’s not the first time he thought of it yeah because if anybody could pull it off it’s probably Elon it’s probably Twitter and X whatever yeah if if they came up with a SpaceX phone all the Nerds be like gim me gim me gim me come on especially if it was good and especially if people move to more secure messaging systems that are end to end encrypted like signal which also I get skeptical about like wasn’t I read something on some one of them forums where they’re saying that uh signal was funded by CIA money is that true which is not that’s not good and then there’s WhatsApp which is own by Facebook yeah what the WhatsApp is not a secure form of communication it’s not no is it sus it’s more than sus super sus yes I just want to hear you say Super SU it’s confirmed sus how about that freedom of the press Foundation acted as signals fiscal sponsor between 2013 2016 the project received grants from the KN Foundation the shuttleworth foundation and almost 3 million from the US government sponsored open technology fund um yeah what does that say there there on Reddit uh article claims signals Origins as a US Government asset are sorry um asset are public record and a lack of funding is because of the CIA found this article that makes it claim that signals Origins as a US Government asset are a matter of extensive public record even if the scope and scale of the funding provided has until now does anyone here know what public records they’re referring to here says if uh so does anyone have links to these public records this me signal is a Honeypot H it Al they also say that signal handed people over to the CIA I’d like to know what actually evidence of that exists if it’s true that kind of sucks that’s what it says there um but Tucker said that he was communicating through signal and that the government contacted him and said we know that you’re setting up a meeting with Putin yeah because we read your signal and he was like I didn’t know you could even do that well this connects directly back to the fisa section 702 law because if they are surveilling certain foreign entities in Russia then an American citizen like Tucker Carlson communicating with them the government is then able to just immediately go in again without a warrant and saying okay we got to go before uh you know a judge and even if they do go before a judge it is a secret Court there is no there is only one side that’s presented which is the government saying we need to go and capture all of Tucker’s data for example I have no idea if this actually happened but let’s say that’s that’s the scenario that Court uh and this is public information that Court approves 99.9999999% of all requests that the government makes to go in and surveil American citizens it’s essentially a rubber stamp which is exactly the problem but that’s where I could foresee okay well Tucker’s communicating on Signal uh um this surveillance law that just was strengthened recently when Congress passed it and Biden signed it into law allows that to happen so it’s all [ __ ] then so signal unplugg phone all that stuff if that’s the case if they have the ability to read signal don’t you think they have the ability to read every single piece of information that gets sent from your phone they can intercept it and read it it just makes sense that they do that I don’t know how you going to protect that maybe I’m ignorant but I don’t understand how you could protect that with a different operating system as long as it’s using the same cell phone signals it’s like and I understand that you’re saying it’s encrypted but is that encryption impossible to crack like isn’t that is there a source of that encryption couldn’t someone just get the phone and let’s figure it out and back engineer it seems like they could an interesting thing about um I asked this same question about this unplugged phone and if you’re using which I hadn’t heard before about any other app but if you’re using their um version of signal their you know texting app that you can do calls and FaceTime and whatever through with another app app on another unplugged phone every time you connect a call or you send a text message it generates a new encryption key versus signal which is when you download it and you set up your you know your account or whatever that is your key so but would you have to have a n plugged phone for me to talk to you in that encrypted app that’s what I I yes I believe so so you would have to have it and I would have to believe so because I don’t know that their app is available on Apple for example right see that would be interesting if someone developed something that did that that developed a new generation of a new a new encrypted key every time you’re using it yeah and starting a conversation that that that’s it all seems like but but you know it it’s true race yeah it just seems like there the the boundaries between people and privacy signal facing collapse after CIA Cuts funding oh Jesus W so this is an investigative journalist on a website I then looked up his account his account is suspended on Twitter or X I don’t know why but this is an article that says some interesting things but it’s I don’t know how much of this is fact that’s almost why I hesitated to bring it up but does say a man a friend of mine so hold on a second never acknowledged in any serious way by the mainstream media signals Origins is US Government asset are a matter of extensive public record even if the scope and the scale of the funding provided has until now been secret the app brainchild of shadowy tech Guru Moxy Marlin Spike by the way that’s quite he came on the podcast he’s not Shadow he really yeah it’s on the podcast wow not shadowy at all interesting no like regular guy yeah like some of this is probably horeshit uh real name Matthew Rosenfeld how dare you Moxy you have a fake name uh was launched in 2013 By His now defunct open whisper systems the company never published financial statements or disclosed the identities of its funders at any point during its operation some’s involved in developing launching and running a message app used by countless people globally will nonetheless surely significant the newly published Financial records indicate signals operating costs for 2023 alone are40 million and projected to rise to 50 million by 2025 Rosenfeld uh boasted in 2018 that ows never took VC Venture Capital funding or sought investment at any point though mysteriously failed to mention Millions were provided by the open technology fund million that we found that’s the money o oh here we go open technology fund was launched 2012 as a pilot program of Radio free Asia an asset of the US Agency for Global media oh boy yeah which is funded by US Congress to the tune of over 1 billion annually in 2018 the then CEO openly acknowledged the agency’s global priorities reflect US National Security and public diplomacy interests that sounds sus is that super sus that is super sus I just like you saying super sus yeah that that um that’s a little iffy it’s very if it’s true if it’s all or if it’s not true it’s a disinformation campaign designed to [ __ ] signal and to lose people’s trust in Signal yeah perhaps that last thing there though is is is is a separate issue of concern of of the United States Government funding um us propaganda essentially in different parts of the world I would like to talk to real nerds about this phone this unplugged phone the real nerds I would like to have the real nerds look at this and go yes or no like what do I’m curious as well yeah is there uh reviews of the unplugged phone by any of them super smart people it still says it’s some pre oh but they have them Brian K has one Telsa you have one yeah it says by now but I don’t um let’s see what happens if I said by now I can buy it oh so it’s not pre-order just what it said it used to be pre-order like till recently I’ll just show you what I saw pre-order today see right it says deposit of $4.99 just go to the ACT I did and that’s where like I started maybe it used to be maybe that was the link at one point in time it said pre-order okay be interesting if people use this but it’s like I I mean I need I need someone to tell is it is it 1,00 bucks I have two in the cart what you buying phones psycho what are you doing I was trying to see when it was going to ship pych if it says shipping in 3 months that means it’s not available you know what I’m saying right what if we start using those H I don’t know yeah it is it is very interesting because there are other phones that I’ve seen in the past who have tried this and not succeeded MH and I don’t know whether it was a virtue of you know the time in our country where people maybe were just weren’t that interested in having a secure means of communication or a secure phone uh well people don’t want the inconvenience and most people don’t have to think about this right so they’re not thinking about the government looking at everything they do what are they doing just trying to get laid and trying to have fun they’re just trying to do normal stuff they don’t care but if 86 or whatever the number was percent of kids use iPhones they are locked into that ecosystem yeah you’re locked in with your photographs you’re locked in with everything and yeah you’ve got Apple pay and you you’ve got the whole thing all you need is your phone you use your phone I use my phone as a remote control to control Apple TV it’s crazy it’s really it’s actually better than the real remote control interes because you could type on the keyboard instead of doing that stupid thing where you have to go oh gosh yeah letter by letter scroll TR like you try to find a movie like it takes five minutes to type it out you just type it on your phone interesting yeah the the the Apple remote control thing is [ __ ] great it’s better the the problem is when you have these walled Gardens like Apple’s ecosystem it’s very difficult when you have everything over there all your stuff your email your this jump off that it’s hard and most people don’t ever do it they just too much work yeah like whatever you’re on whether you’re on Android or whether you’re on Apple but they try to make it easy they try to lure you over you know they try to get you to switch yeah nobody wants to do it I think that’s where it is it it it is interesting to me that more and more people are paying attention to government surveillance their ability to reach into our private information and uh and and who is allowing that to happen I think they count on the majority of us not being aware and I think that is the case today the majority of people are not aware and they don’t think of it as a primary concern the majority of people are way more concerned about climate change you know because that’s what gets I think it’s a lot of people they they they’ll say it at least how much they know about it is weird I’ve had conversations with people when they talk about like hey well they all agree we got an act now about the climate and I go what did you hear like tell me what you hear CU like have a conversation let them just spill it all out like don’t even challenge them just let him spill it all out and it’s like AOC talking about Palestine and Israel it’s like um I’m not really a centimeter deep not exactly I’m not sure something bad something’s happening they don’t know what they’re talking about and and if you say have you ever looked at a video of uh the difference in the shoreline from like 1987 to today have you ever done that have I done it yeah I’ve SE I’ve seen for Hawaii yeah what’s the difference it’s bigger it is Hawaii keeps getting bigger cuz Hawaii grows cuz it’s a volcano but when you look at the shoreline a lot of places it kind of seems the same and also these like [ __ ] psycho rich people are buying houses like on the beach yeah do they know something we don’t know like don’t don’t you think if they really thought that the oceans were going to rise 100 feet in the next week that the [ __ ] insurance companies would go hey we’re not going to you can’t buy that or even the next five years I mean you know well people are having a hard time getting homeowner’s insurance in California because of the wildfires yeah that’s true that’s a real one that’s a very big issue that’s a real one that’s a real one and you know but they’re don’t have a hard time with the right next to the water yeah like no one’s getting it’s not like um tsunami insurance ins yeah it it’s you know I mean it like did they even have that tsunami insurance I don’t know I want to say yes I bet that’s like carved out I want to say yes I want to say no I think if you’re a dumbass that buys a $50 million house in Malibu like right on the I want to be on the water like hey [ __ ] you know how much water’s out there there’s a lot we had you know the active volcano that we’ve had uh on the big island for so long but the actual flow that happened through neighborhoods when the the floor of the the volcanic shelf within the crater fell through the lava went down and started flowing through all these lava tubes that were running beneath full full fully occupied neighborhoods uh people had bought land and built houses in those neighborhoods knowing it was a I think it was a lava 3 Zone which is like you’re building on top of an active volcano’s Lava Tubes you you have to know that you’re assuming that risk well that when that happened uh there were you know lava spouts and little mini craters that were formed within so many of these different communities we were going around there I was with the head of the roads division uh for Hawaii County and we would go and look and like as soon as there was a crack in the in the pavement be like okay we got to mark that one down on the map because that is you know the next day you see the steam coming up as though it’s a lava vent and then within the next day or two you would have an active like 20 30 40 ft in the air lava speing up right in the middle of like a normal kind of Suburbia is neighborhood and this happened 20 30 ft it happened in over 20 different locations within this particular area and it was mindblowing to to go there one day after the other after the other and see how quickly a beautiful little neighborhood turned into a complete bed of lava um so this then begs the question like oh is your home insured right there was one insurance company in the in the entire world that would ensure homes that were built in a lava 3 Zone did they go under well I don’t think they went under uh because it’s so freaking expensive most people just didn’t have it most people couldn’t afford it it’s a gamble right it is a Gamble and taking crazy gamble it was amazing to see how so many residents there recognize like okay yeah we knew we were getting this land it was pretty cheap built a beautiful house knowing that this possibility could occur and frankly just it was amazing to see their respect for mother nature and knowing like we chose to live here we all the Madam Pelle is doing her thing and yeah we’re going to have to figure out something else so what is going on right now in Mai um can I take a quick quick bathroom break yeah yeah it’s a good one to talk about right a very important one yeah we’re back so we were just about to talk about Maui so what what is going on right now post fires no one is rebuilding homes yet the remediation effort is still underway and the biggest challenge for the families who were directly impacted by that who were left homeless is the fact that they they still don’t have anywhere to go you know they’ve been put up in um airbnbs or in hotel rooms for a period of time on Maui the hotels are like hey we we need to be able to start welcoming in tourists back into to uh the island and uh so the governor is trying to work out a plan to be able to provide some form of semi-permanent housing for people if they were to try to go out and rent a house on the market it is it is purely unaffordable and there are a number of families who are now facing with the tough decision of do we just pick up and go and move our life out of Hawaii into the mainland which is heartbreaking uh given how many of those families I mean they’ve been in that community in West Maui or in lahina for Generations what is happening with the people that had mortgages so if they had a mortgage and their home was burnt down and they haven’t gotten money from the insurance company and they haven’t been able to rebuild do they still have to pay that mortgage while this is all going on you know I haven’t heard that raised as an issue I would hope that the the mortgage company would recognize what’s going on but it that that’s that’s some that’s a good question I haven’t heard it raised as an issue from either residents or as part of the conversation around um housing for them why has no one been able to rebuild there has to be um there’s there are so many layers of toxins in the ground that have to be cleaned up and removed before people can go in and actually start start to rebuild but to speak of just the the inspection and the permitting process and so forth so the layers of toxins just from the fire from the fire and you know you had like a gas station with underground fuel tanks that burned like completely to Ash on the ground um the toxins that came from all you know different construction and and everything else that exists in the environment so all that stuff Burns it gets in the soil it gets rained on so the the ground is contaminated right and this is the reason why they can’t rebuild yeah and they knew from the outset it was it was a known fact that it would take I mean to if if it only takes a year that that is a an expedited timeline is what I’ve been told how long has it been now uh August will be one year August 8th the the most insulting thing was the $700 onetime payment from the government like that is who said yes to that who allowed that at at the same time releasing this number where they accidentally had sent Ukraine $6 billion remember that yeah they said oh well we we lost track of this $6 billion and so now that we’ve found it because of some accounting error now we can go and send it to Ukraine and they were automatically assuming they were going to send that anyway we’re going to be sending more of course but no consideration at all no it you know I I remember specifically when the fires had just happened the White House brought in the director of FEMA to talk to the White House Press Corps and someone asked the question what are you FEMA what are you actually doing for the people who’ve been impacted by this tragedy and the director stood there with a straight face uh and proudly said well we have provided a one-time payment of $700 to to uh everyone who has been impacted by this fire or displaced by this fire and that was her big announcement that she was there to make one single onetime payment of $700 so that means you have 700 servings of ramen basically basically I mean you you can’t you can’t even rent a bedroom in someone’s house for $700 it’s just it’s it’s certainly you can’t for eight months no that’s what’s crazy no $700 is so crazy it’s just such an insulting and ridiculous number and the fact that they have haven’t given more it’s like but yet they’re flying people around on airplanes that come in illegally through the Border just like how much does that cost what does that program cost exactly what does that cost multi-billions of dollars if I had to if I had to guess it’s um you know FEMA has other services it’s a lot of bureaucracy it’s a lot of paperwork and residents on Maui they were being told like okay well hey if you accept this kind of aid from FEMA you are seeding some sense of your sovereignty or decision-making ability uh with regard to your land or your property and all of these all of the red tape essentially that that caused a a people a community who were rightfully skeptical about government coming in and saying okay well we’re going to help you when that same government said oh yeah hey we may at that time and the governor the governor said this and then he corrected himself later on but he’s like oh yeah we’re about and talking about how we can turn this entire Place uh have the government take ownership of it and turn it into some kind of Memorial or some kind of Workforce housing which obviously made people really freaking mad to say like well who the hell are you to come in here and say you’re just you’re just going to take our land you’re just going to take it and do what you want with it so they’re they’re obviously very skeptical and and rightfully so about you know the fine print what does it mean if I accept a few bucks here or there from the federal government what what power am I seating to you to determine my future the future of my family in our home and unfortunately the rest of the country has forgotten about it by and large yeah yeah there’s always a new thing in the news there’s always a new thing to pay attention to there’s always a new fear one of the things that that has just recently come out first of all the Maui police department they did an audit of what went wrong what did we do wrong what should we have done better and kudos to them for actually doing this and I think they came up with like 92 recommendations on things that needed to be fixed they shared that with municipalities all across the country as like hey here are the hard lessons that we learned you guys should take note and try to protect yourselves from having to go through what we went through um other agencies at the county level and at the state level have not been so honest or transparent about their shortcomings and the most egregious one recently that are local news in Hawaii exposed was the head of Maui’s emergency response division he was off Island that day he was at a of all places a FEMA conference on aahu when the fires happened and instead of doing what any compassionate and responsible person and leader would do you immediately get on the first plane out you get a notification there this you know this fire is happening on Maui I got to be there with my people and I got to lead my teams to respond to this emergency he it took him a few days to go back to Maui first of all but the thing that was and and I don’t know if you can find this uh Jamie but they released his text exchanges that he had with his assistant uh who was telling him he’s like what’s going on with the fire LOL and the the assistant responding saying ha haa this place is like a circus they their exchange was so so disturbing doesn’t even put it lightly when you know there are people who are being burned to Ash burned alive in their community and their text exchange is like oh ha haa is the fire still going LOL yep now it’s going in another place I I couldn’t I couldn’t believe it uh when I read it and this was the same guy Herman Andia is his name he uh he didn’t show up and and show his face publicly until like s days after after the fire and then he went and he did one press conference and then he quit and resigned but there has not yet and and I hope investigations are ongoing there has not been any kind of accountability at at at the various failure points uh that that existed in this response if the government wanted to take over that land the best way to do it is to drag this out and make it so that people exactly have no other choice they have nothing to do they can’t do anything and then they just tell stories about it you know I used to we used to own that land right there’s a a native Hawaiian leader famous surfer um navigator for the hokua and traditional Hawaiian navigation Archie Kappa uh he has been one of the most stalwart leaders for the community during this whole period in time organizing emergency response and food and shelter and you know Community Gatherings people come and play music at the end of the day throughout this whole crisis period and has been leading the charge he’s very well respected in the community in holding that line and saying we are not giving up our land but as you said it becomes a much more difficult argument to make when people you got to live yeah you got to be able to make sure your kids have what they need to go back to school and and and all of it and how can you do that when you’re in a constant state of of transition with no real timeline where they’re they’re not coming and saying okay hey you can go and start rebuilding on this date right so they’re going to have to do some speak of the cost I mean like building a house from scratch right crazy most people don’t have that money and then El also like how long is this cleanup going to take and like what is when does it start and what do they have to do I mean it is ongo is ongo but it is massive excavation and and so it’s ongoing do they have an anticipated timeline I heard from one guy they were looking at well hopefully maybe it might be September might be October but you know it’s one of those things that one of the guys who’s out there actually doing this is just saying well you don’t know what you’re going to deal with until you’re actually dealing with it and it might take longer it might not take as long but it’s one of those things that they’re fig they’re not figuring out as they go but they are being confronted with things as they go is this one of those issues where you wish that maybe you still were in Congress yeah yeah because at least you could be talking about it cuz I that that was my hope and I talked with leaders in Congress and people who I still know there and just calling for uh oversight and accountability from the federal government because we saw many points of failure everything from the immediate response to the whole water issue and the fact that there wasn’t any water coming through people’s hoses during that time um now why was that the history of water on Maui is complicated uh and it’s it’s largely attributed to that the fact that um the water is is is a privately owned uh utility and how that water is controlled there is uh limited use of water at different times how it’s controlled and where it goes and and there was a a state water uh management official apparently who had some say in this of saying well you know I don’t think that we should turn the water on for this period of time because we don’t know exactly what’s going to happen happen but my point is all of these things need to be very clearly investigated because people’s lives and property were absolutely destroyed uh because of this so was it because that water is a valuable commodity they didn’t allow it to be used by the people that were experiencing the fire you the there was some implication of um I don’t know it it was like well we want to make sure that the water is being distributed equitably uh and so we don’t want to give it to one group of people over another group of it it really didn’t make any sense what the argument was but it was like Hey you missed that critical juncture in that window because you were trying to ruminate it was something to do with equity and and some theoretical uh argument rather than this is a community in crisis there are fires burning in various different places we need to get water to people who need it there’s also the the the thing about having above ground wires yes right which is crazy a place that experiences storms in a place that experiences storms but also on West Maui is traditionally a drier part of the island that also experiences wildfires even small ones on a regular basis that if they’re not immediately controlled you end up with what happened is is a so disheartening that it’s not receiving more attention yeah yeah this is this is you know you look at uh the things that we’ve talked about what what what are they actually focusing on yeah um and that’s that that’s where the opportunity and and it is such a dire picture you know it’s it’s uh a time where we are surrounded by literally insane people who are making decisions that that further their own interests and their desire to either hold on to power or grow their power at the cost of the well-being of the people and at the cost of our fundamental freedoms and that’s where you know this this election uh our using our voice our defending our freedom of speech by by speaking the truth and speaking freely all of these things uh and our engagement with them as Americans as Citizens it matters more than anything else because if we if we continue to to go down this track uh we will continue to see our freedoms undermined until we wake up one day and this will no longer be the America that we know and that we love that’s a scary thought and it until the last few years I never would have thought that was the case I would I would be like no we’ll we’re going to be okay yeah now I’m not so sure yeah because I me we’ve gone through you know the political Powers switch from one side to the other and back again and and you know you figure like okay well I I disagree with this person or this issue or whatever but um being grounded in and and having the confidence in the Constitution and these fundamental rights and freedoms is kind of like okay well you know we we we’ll figure out the rest but but all of that for for everything that we’ve talked about censorship and control and big government overreach and and and all of the government surveillance all of these different things uh point to the very real risk and domestic threat that we face yeah there’s just so many factors that are simultaneously taking place there’s um there surveillance there’s The Invasion which is kind of an invasion I mean you can call the open borders you can call whatever you want but it’s people coming here that aren’t supposed to be here and I’m I’m for immigration I’m just for them figuring out who’s criminal like well legal and this is the thing I’ve got a friend of mine who’s about to retire uh Special Forces Green Beret served over 30 years in uniform um great great American who’s dedicated his life to service he’s about to retire his wife is from a European country and uh they want to invite her sister and her sister’s family to come to the retirement ceremony their residents of Italy they have been denied a tourist visa to come to America for 2 weeks to attend the Special Forces warrant officers retirement how is that and this is these are like hey they got a family they got young kids they got school they got jobs and they were denied saying well we don’t you know we we don’t think that you have uh we don’t have confidence that you will come back to your life in Italy hilarious and yet again people are coming through the border every day being picked up border patrol has become like this uh Uber drivers for people who are breaking our laws from the moment they step across the border into our country illegally and okay so then they go out in the country nobody knows where they are who they are are they really going to show up for a court date in two years or three years and nothing is really truly being done about this some of them seven years seven years between then and date okay it’s yeah exactly exactly it it almost seems like it’s all designed to erode our faith and to make this whole thing something that’s way easier to control because the way our system is set up right now with if you can express the freedom of speech if you actually can do that it makes it very difficult to really to control a narrative that’s it right there that’s it right there control and power and they’re terrified of a truly free Society where we can have a truly free Open Marketplace of ideas they’re terrified of people being able to you know and I saw this when I ran for president in 2020 we’re seeing it again and in different ways in 2024 where they want to control what information you get about certain candidates what information you’re not allowed to see who is being push forward and who is not and undermining our our basic responsibility as Citizens which is to cast an informed vote and engage in our democracy and actually have a government of by and for the people they’re terrified of us doing that and making what they believe is the wrong choice so they’re trying to wa take away our right to do it so they can remain in power and in their minds I fully I I know many of these people and they feel justified in what they’re doing that they are the Righteous ones that they are standing up for America and standing up for democracy so much so that they are willing to destroy our democracy to save it in their minds which is a dangerous dangerous mindset that we could see in foreign dictators in different parts of the world and throughout history it really is and it’s astonishing how few people are willing to accept that it’s still takes place today right they almost have this thought that those things have been sorted out and that you know that was the case in the past but and even though history is filled with it and there’s actually no instances of it not taking place right you know like but now don’t be silly now we’ve got it you got to leave hands I had yon wner on here from Rolling Stone Yan witer he was trying to tell me that the government should regulate the internet I’m like government the same people that lied about weapons of mass destruction those people and like no no not those ones everybody wants Daddy they want Daddy to come along no one is going to save you no going to save you people Maui know that they know that now and no no one’s going to save you yes and we have to be aware of how [ __ ] crooked the system is yes and I don’t know how we’re going to get out of it I don’t I don’t but I’m very happy that people like you at least you have the courage to talk about it and so few people do and uh it’s it’s a strange strange time to be alive it’s wonderful in a lot of ways it’s it’s amazing in a lot of ways but it’s also it’s like treacherous there’s a lot going on right now it’s like it really makes you wonder there’s so much [ __ ] subterfuge and shenanigans and so much money being funneled around and moved around it’s just like I think that’s where there is you know there there is a silver lining in what we have been through with through covid and through everything that’s happened since is I think more and more people are waking up and at a minimum just questioning what they’re being told is this actually true true looking for uh information and news from other sources than maybe they had been before yeah and um and and just what you said no no one’s coming to save us I think that that is the message I’m carrying I’m I’m on the road constantly and I’m talking to people whoever will listen at events and on different media platforms uh it’s what I I focused on in my book for love of country um the truth about what is happening in our country the experiences that I had in Democratic party that caused me to leave the party and understanding that uh in this situation and there’s a lot to be fixed across both parties and the government but in my experience and in the situation we’re in right now with the Biden Harris Administration they cannot be allowed to remain in power we can agree or disagree on different issues and it’s good and we should and we should have those conversations but when you look at the unprecedented abuse of power that they are engag enging in undermining the rule of law politicizing our government entities targeting Americans targeting Americans who happen to be their political opposition whether it’s Donald Trump or the mom who’s protesting at a Board of Education meeting to have a say and what kind of education her child is getting this is happening across the country and if we the American people don’t do something about this and stop them and hold them accountable what happens in these elections if they’re allowed to remain in power they will they will tell us hey you gave us a mandate you said hey good job thumbs up keep at it and we’ll see everything that’s happened just continue to escalate to a point where I have I have no doubt that our freedoms will be eroded to a point where it’ll be virtually impossible to get them back and where do we go from there America no longer becomes the land of the free and the home of the brave it becomes the land of people who are contr Red by the government and forced to comply or else and if you dare to have the courage to speak up and speak the truth or say hey look guys the emperor has no clothes on boys are boys and girls are girls and that’s just how it is then you will experience uh the the retaliation or the consequences of that action well said thank you telsey uh show your book for love of country country it’s out now did you do the audio is um I did I recorded the audio excellent there’s a little uh there’s a little line on the top of the cover there you might recognize oh it’s me I appreciate oh your words uh your friendship um your support and your being such an incredible stalwart Voice of Truth and and providing a platform for real discussion where people can come and listen to those who have different viewpoints different back backgrounds different experiences and maybe they walk away agreeing or disagreeing it doesn’t really even matter but having this kind of platform is such a powerful thing for everyone to benit CRA things that happen by accident yes so so I I went and I I was invited to speak at this Passover event uh a couple of days ago uh but the guy who picked me up at the airport his name is Avi Works in New York um their family hosted me and uh he’s like oh where you going next I said oh I’m going to go I’m going to go to Austin I’m going to see Joe Rogan he’s like I am like he’s like I’m kind of pissed off about how popular he’s gotten cuz I was one of the ogs like from the very beginning like I know the I know the the roots of The Joe Rogan exper anyway it was just it was uh you got a lot of fans but he he was particularly owning the fact that he knew he knew Joe Rogan before Joe Rogan was you know The Joe Rogan Experience isn’t it funny that people get upset when things get popular and other people find out of something exact weird but people do that with bands all the time yeah like your mainstream now everybody likes them it’s like everybody likes the thing I like it sucks now yeah yeah that’s the beauty though of what you’ve done is like you’ve been you the whole time and there’s there’s no like oh Joe Rogan’s gone mainstream and he’s different or whatever it’s like you’re you’re you and I think that’s what people are attracted to is just you know you are who you are I think that’s what people attct Ed to with you as well and I’m very happy you’re out there and I’m very happy that you created this book and I’m really happy that you did the audio of it yeah cuz uh I don’t really read it was you know I before I recorded it um I do a lot I do more audio books as well than I do um I read every now and then but most of the time I I’m actually like if I’m on a plane sometimes I read but yeah most of the time I’m sitting there listening to stuff in the sauna or listening to something when I’m driving and it’s for me it’s a use of time exactly it’s much more efficient exactly yeah it was um you know I poured my heart into writing this book and I care very much about the issues that we were talking about and I care very much about our country and um and so in in some parts of the audio book uh you know it was it was emotional talking about some of the experiences that I’ve had and while I was deployed and and really truly conveying um what’s at stake and and the responsibility and so I go through a lot of the problems um it’s important obviously to talk about the solutions and the call to action for every one of us as Americans I don’t care what your party affiliation is that’s not the point here I’m urging people to leave this Democrat Party behind because they are abusing their power and undermining our constitution just as our founding fathers did when they created these founding documents they disagreed he heavily on a lot of different things they had Fierce arguments and debates but they came together around the most fundamental principles of our country that are centered around Freedom our ability to live in peace and pursue Prosperity life liberty in the pursuit of happiness now is the time that we have to come Together As Americans around those foundational principles and get our country back on track that is that is the most important task before us As Americans otherwise it’ll be too late here here thank you telsy thank you for being here I appreciate you great to see you all right depressing goodbye everybody [Music]

Truly Right View: Advocating for Free Speech in the Age of Political Censorship

Introduction: What is Free Speech Today?

In a world where political discourse is dominated by big tech, cable news, and social media influencers, free speech is constantly under threat. From censorship of conservative viewpoints to the silencing of dissent on controversial issues, we are witnessing an alarming trend of restrictions on the most fundamental rights of any citizen in our Constitutional Republic: the right to speak freely.

But what does free speech truly mean in today’s context? Are we protecting it, or are we allowing authoritarian ideologies like socialism, communism, fascism, and dictatorships to erode it?

The Constitutional Perspective: Why Free Speech is Non-Negotiable

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is crystal clear: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” The Founding Fathers understood the importance of free speech in preserving a free society. Without it, the ability to challenge government, expose corruption, and advocate for truth would be crushed.

Yet today, under the guise of protecting people from “misinformation” and “hate speech,” powerful institutions are curbing our ability to express ideas that do not conform to their narratives.

Do we not see this as a slippery slope toward authoritarianism?

Shouldn’t we, as citizens, be the ones who decide what we can or cannot hear, not a centralized body or corporation?

Social Media and Cable News: Platforms or Gatekeepers?

Social media was once hailed as the bastion of free speech. It allowed ordinary individuals to share their thoughts, advocate for causes, and hold the powerful accountable. However, over the years, major platforms like Twitter (now X), Facebook, and YouTube have become gatekeepers rather than facilitators of free expression.

Algorithms favor certain ideologies, while alternative viewpoints—especially those with a more conservative or constitutional slant—are shadow-banned, demonetized, or outright censored.

Does this not resemble the tactics of monarchies, communistic or fascist regimes that control what their citizens can see and hear?

Shouldn’t a true democracy allow the free flow of ideas, even if those ideas challenge the status quo?

Social Media Influencers: Fighters for Freedom or Puppets of Censorship?

Many social media influencers, especially those aligned with constitutional values, have become modern-day warriors for free speech. Yet, they face intense backlash, censorship, and de-platforming for voicing opinions that challenge globalist or left-leaning narratives.

How many times have we seen influential voices banned simply for questioning government policies, election results, or health mandates?

Isn’t it concerning that only a select group of elites can decide what is “acceptable” discourse?

While some influencers fall in line with these restrictive policies, others have emerged as champions for free speech, using their platforms to resist censorship and uphold constitutional rights. The question is: Will we support these voices, or will we allow them to be drowned out by corporate and governmental censorship?

The Dangers of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism: A Threat to Free Speech

At the heart of socialism, communism, and fascism lies a common tactic—control over speech. These ideologies have historically sought to suppress dissent, limit expression, and create a monolithic narrative that favors those in power.

Look no further than authoritarian regimes past and present, where dissenters are imprisoned, media is state-controlled, and free speech is criminalized. Can we really ignore the striking similarities between these oppressive ideologies and the current state of political discourse in America?

Is the suppression of speech today not a precursor to more draconian measures tomorrow?

Should we not fight to preserve the right to freely express political, social, and economic ideas?
