Thank you for doing all of these things. It does help get the word
out there. We are back and we're still in this We're still in the
Age of Transitions. We're in this digital dark age that one of my a
great teacher of mine, I'm a literal teacher. This guy taught me video
in school. I didn't realize how much he actually knew until I kept getting
older and older and the things that he said seen I realized how prophetic they
weren't really how in touch of a guy he was the older I get and
one of the terms I remember him using was digital dark age, which at
the time had a real cool sound to it, because as a kid,
I was like, oh, well, digital dark age, like you know,
it's like dang, that's it sounds intense and like, you know,
it definitely perks your ears. I've been like, what the hell are you
talking about, sir, And you don't quite know, but you kind of
get the idea. And as the years go on, it's more and more
clear what that is and that we are indeed a living in it. How
long it may last. We don't know. Will all of this strange technological
overlay to life that we experience on a day to day basis will some day
go from being digital to analog, We'll go from being digital to biological.
I don't know. That remains to be seen. It's a distinct possibility.
We're not there yet. We're dealing oddly enough. Sometimes it's amazing how antiquated
certain things are and how behind even large organizations tend to get, how behind
the ball they get when it comes to technology, because it's just going so
fast. Overall technology development wise is going quick and everybody's just struggling to keep
up. And it's sometimes even comical to see how those that you think would
be doing a better job of things are actually kind of clunky and you know,
they've got their way of doing business, and so it takes them a
minute to get going. These large, these large apparatuses like corporations, governments,
things like this. Do they wield power, yes? But can they
be slow and burdensome? Usually? And so we as individual people have that
going for us, do remember then, So that's the good thing when it
comes to being a tiny little person in a great, big world. We
have some unique abilities that you have to realize and you have to remember,
and you got to keep those in your back pocket and use them where you
can, when you can, when you need to. That sort of thing.
But enough about all that. Whuha, mumbo jumbo. Let's talk about
some interesting news stories. And this one I've I mean, this is a
developing story. Really, this is not new. This has been on the
burner, This has been part of, you know, the conversation what we're
talking about geopolitically and great powers competition. Once again, if we're using that
phraseology. If we're using that label, let's do that again, the great
powers competition. What little detail are we speaking of this time? We're talking
about the potential TikTok ban that is looming its head now passing in Congress and
waiting to go further in our in our system of checks and balances of our
democracy or whatever whatever you want to label our government here in America. Our
American government moving forward in a new way, which I mean things are heating
up, to say the least, right, So everybody knows about this.
This has been the big story this week, the potential banning or sale right
of TikTok. So let's I mean, I think everybody generally knows the story.
Like Congress passed the bill, the Senate still has to pass it.
Biden said he would pass it if it made it to him, so presumably,
you know, it's just all whether the Senate passes it or not.
But the idea is that the the app TikTok, the writing of this of
this bill is that TikTok either has to be sold by byte Dance to company
or sold to an American company, you know, presumably a big Silicon valley
operation. Right sold to an American company or be banned outright in the US.
So that is that's the story. With that being said, I was
curious myself to see if any retort had come from anybody within China with it,
if the Chinese government had a response to this, and I did just
find something before the show. So I'm going to read from this because I'm
interested to see what that might be myself. So okay, this is from
the BBC BBC dot com head line China says TikTok ban would come back to
bite the USS. This is posted two days ago on BBC. How'm I
read from this? China has warned that a proposed ban of TikTok would come
back to bite the US, as lawmakers approved a bill that could lead the
app being banned. The bill in the House of Representatives would force the Chinese
owned app to sever ties with China or become unavailable in the US. US
officials have long expressed concern about TikTok, citing potential national security risks. TikTok's
owners have repeatedly rejected and had it posted the city threat. On Wednesday,
the bill passed with bipartisan support from both sides. Of the political spectrum in
the House, officially known as Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
It now heads to the Senate, where it is unclear if it has enough
support to pay us. It's pretty unanimous in Congress, so presumably you'd think
it could or that it even would pass the send This is me given commentary
onward with the article. If it does. The White House has said that
President Joe Biden will sign it in Alane ahead of the vote. Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesperson here we Go, Wang Wen Bin, accused the US of suppressing
TikTok, despite the fact that it never found evidence that TikTok threatens national security.
This is okay. I'll continue this kind of bullying behavior that cannot win
in fair competition, disrupts companies normal business activity, damages the confidence of international
investors in the investment environment, and damages the normal international economic and trade order.
Mister Wang at it. In the end, this will inevitably come back
to bite the United States dates itself. Okay, I mean okay. So
that's the statement from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Winmen. So we're looking for
okay, I'm gonna continue on this article. It looks like it could be
useful. The move was similar similarly pilloried by Chinese media, with several newspapers
featuring satirical cartoons or to killing. The US effort to ban the app shows
a little political cartoon here, so we get a nice look at some Chinese
political cartoon propaganda. I mean, presumably I figured they must have that.
It's kind of it's and it's got overlaid with English language inserted in there so
that we understand what it's saying. So you know, it's at least been
edited that much for what that's worth too. But anyway, one newspaper,
the Global Times, accused the US of ugly behavior and abusing the concept of
national security to seize the app by four worse. As is the case with
other social media platforms, TikTok is banned in China. Users in the country
use a similar app, Deullin, which is only available in China and subject
to monitoring and censorship by the government. TikTok is owned by a Beijing based
Cayman Islands registered firm, ByteDance. If the US bill becomes law, Bytdance
would be required to sell TikTok within six months or face a ban from US
app stores and web hosting platforms. Last week, TikTok contri distributed a message
to many of its American users, calling on them to call their representatives to
prevent the government from stripping one hundred and seventy million Americans of their constitutional right
to free speech. This, in turn prompted a letter from the House China
Select Committee telling the company to stop spreading false claims in its campaign to manipulate
and mobilize American citizens on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. Okay TikTok has
denied it has any links with Chinese Chinese government and said it has structure restructured
a company to keep US data in the US. It looks like it's the
last bit here. Former President Donald Trump unsuccessfully tried to ban the app in
twenty twenty. Mister Trump, who on Tuesday passed the delicate threshold to clinchion
Republican nomination to become its presidential candidate, is now against the ban, saying
it would unfairly benefit Facebook. There's old flip flopping Trump again. You never
know what he'll say next, but that's what he does. Okay, So
I mean we could have guessed what a Chinese representative was going to say about
all this, right, Like, the US has no basis in fact whatsoever
for the you know, they're going to say something this is preposterous. We
it's absolutely ludicrous that TikTok has any connection to the Chinese government. They're just
using this. And I did actually find it quite interesting that the Chinese officials
were using the national security thing in their criticisms of the US. So let's
see her. They accused the US of ugly behavior and abusing the concept of
national security to seize it by force. And I do not know if on
their end of things in China if they use the term national security or an
equivalent, you know, like a some equivalent translation of national security in the
way that the US government uses it all the time against its own citizenry.
But I mean that's invoked for everything that national security security is. I mean
it has been since nineteen forty seven, right, They've been using this against
US, So that's you know, it seems like US brand. It seems
like almost like the brand of US psychological operations, domestic operations is just the
word and the umbrella term national security, So I don't. I don't.
I kind of have my doubts that China uses it or again a translation of
that, but I don't know either. Again, what do we know about
what goes on over there? We know bits and pieces, but the propaganda,
I would be I'd honestly be interested to see take a look and see
what they're feeding their people in terms of that. But again that comes with
all sorts of we're not going to get that. It's just there's so many
hurdles to be able to do that. We're so we as a people of
the world are divided in that lost in trans thing. You know, the
normal people here in the US, the normal people over in China have that
horrible gap between them. So it's it's an unfortunate, sad thing. And
do remember that that there's a difference between you know, just the average person
living out their life anywhere, and you know the powers that be which are
doing all these fun things and having these little fights, big fights, I
guess, with each other. But the TikTok band, I mean, this
is big. This is not just like, oh, it's just some stupid
app and who cares. Like there's a part of me that says that,
and the concept of oh god, if somebody likes bringing up the free speech
thing here in this whole debate is like, well, what without this stupid
app, we can't have free speech. Like I I, for one,
I'm annoyed when people bring up the whole free speech debate and all these online
platforms, because I kind of just defer to saying, hey, look,
these these things are owned by you know, name the Silicon Valley Corporation in
the US, name the foreign government name, you know whoever, you know,
whatever huge thing the US government maybe owns or controls it, right,
you know, ink Tael is involved or whatever. Whenever you're talking about free
speech on these stupid apps, it's like it's you're you're lost already. Look,
I understand the debate. Now now I'm going somewhere I didn't even want
to, but I'm doing it anyway. I understand that's where everybody is.
And if people are being suppressed, the shadow banning all that, I understand
the bad aspect of that, but we have to understand where we are in
the first place. I don't think anybody's ever really reckoned that just keep playing
along on these things without facing the awful truth of like who gave us these
things? And I hope you notice that I'm not holding up any of the
American social media companies up on some pedestal like they're the good guys and Bite
Dance in China are the bad guys. And I'm no. Now, the
aspect of this story where the whole stipulation of this law going into effect would
be that Bite Dance has to sell the app over to you know, the
highest bidder or face a band. That's that's interesting. And there's all sorts
of articles citing you know, the the interests of American tech companies with this.
I mean that's obvious. I mean people bidding on this, and they're
bidding on this or it going away. It's a big app and economically it's
it's a mover. It has become a mover and a shaker in tech and
in marketing and economically, so I for one, would be very very surprised.
Again, that's assuming that this all goes through. This law doesn't effect
where Okay, Byte Dance or you're gonna do You're gonna sell this thing in
what one hundred and sixty eight days or whatever, or are we gonna have
to ban you. What's it gonna be. I have difficulty believing that Byte
Dance or the Chinese government, if we prefer to think of it that way,
is going to sell. I don't think that would happen, Honestly,
I don't. I do not see that happening. It would just the full
out ban would occur, and this would just be another you know, this
would just be another footstep or whatever just to move to increase those tensions.
And it's already happened. But I mean, it'd just be another thing on
the timeline of tensions between our two countries, US and China. So yeah,
yeah, that's that's the way I see that. I do not see
the app selling to a US company. Of course they would, there's some
that I'm sure that would buy it. Let me read some just headlines about
this just for that. I'm not gonna read the articles and read the headlines
here and this is from JP Statilly's News vand or Rundown. Let's see here.
Uh TikTok claims it's a contribution to the economy is huge. TJ Max
and other retailers really need TikTok. They have remained silent on a possible band
and TikTok's potential US bansters marketers, spurs contingency planning. TikTok turns the creators
to fight possible ban. TikTok CEO calls on users to fight US ban.
Okay, well it kind of goes on. So yeah, there you have
it. TikTok has become a big thing, and yeah, it's it's wild.
Uh, this this is big because as this first article I read was
saying, Donald Trump was saying back when he was president, that TikTok should
be banned. It was it was almost like his he was the first one
to utter it in public, the first one to like seriously put out there
like, hey, we need to ban this thing. So he said that.
Then again now he's backpedaling, which is you know again, that's what
he does. He said is one thing, he says another thing later,
and he doesn't he doesn't care what he's saying, just as long as again
he's maintaining attention and that he's the guy in the position of power. He's
fine, Okay, that's all that matters to him. But yeah, interesting
that he brought it up. Now. Biden is all in gung ho on
this national security. We got to shut this thing down. This thing is
a threat to national security. Do we see hints of Eric Schmidt and all
these different artificial intelligence and technology councils that the US government and the Pentagon have
spurred in the past couple of years. There's tons of them. I can't
even keep up with all of them. I need to write a list of
these things so I remember them. There are a ton and half of them
are headed players. And they all say the same thing, that this is
a national security issue dealing with China, and then we have to get ahead
and all of this. So this is part of the rallying cry. And
yeah, you'd better believe that China is not going to be happy about this,
and he is not happy about this whatsoever. And they're just seeing it
as just another Okay, that's the way you want it. And I don't
know if there will be any sort of like counter move to this or if
it's just a going to be a thing for China's I'm like, okay,
yeah, we know how things are now. And again, just one more
little tick in the notch of you know, antagonisms, just you know,
another grievance on the list. I don't know if it's going to be that,
if they'll retaliate at all or what, but certainly, yeah, I
was kind of hinting at this concept last week that there's these different national internets.
There's not a worldwide Web to speak of. There's different versions of Internet
and different regions. And certainly China has its own Internet, big time,
and they have purposely and way beyond what this TikTok band business here is.
They've gone well beyond that to shut out foreign technology companies with the Google China
thing I referenced last week, all that American companies know, no, we
have our own internet here and thank you very much, we can run it.
We know what we're doing with it, controlling our population with it.
Why don't you go back to your country and control your own population with your
internet, because we know you are so you just you go deal with your
issues. We'll deal with ours, thank you. And that's really what it's
fascinating about this Great powers competition is so much of it has to do with
the national The nationalist situation for each country involved is what is their domestic situation,
and it's tenuous in both countries. If I'm reading the room properly,
things are not so great for the Chinese government dealing with their populace at the
moment. Likewise, the US is having some issues too, some unrest in
both countries. I think would be fair to say, you know, in
an international context. I mean, that's quite relative, relatively low, I
can suppose. I mean, this isn't it's not me and mar levels,
it's not Haiti levels that China or the US are in, but some level
of unrest right and the governments of the respective countries are having to do quite
a bit to keep their people in line. And you better believe they are,
and they're putting technology to the task of doing that. That's happening here,
it's happening there, and it happens to a large extent in China without
a doubt. I mean, one of the purposes of internet is to run
these applications that the populace, the Chinese populace use on their mobile devices.
They have these things loaded up with these apps, which yes are run by
the Chinese government. Absolutely they surveil their citizenry with these things. People live
their lives via these apps. I know. The retort is, well,
we do here in the us as well. Yes we do. But from
what my understanding, like it's it's even above and beyond, like the usage
of apps is above and beyond. In China, what we do they again
Kai Fu Lee, the author of uh Ai Superpowers in the New World Order.
That guy was saying that, uh the way what happened in China was
that they never even used credit cards in that country. That they leapfrog the
use of credit cards and went straight from paying everything in cash to using your
cell phone, you know, like Apple Pay or whatever the app's on a
cell phone to pay for everything. They didn't even end up using credit cards.
They just leapfrog that technolg technology and just start using phones to pay for
everything. That's i they pay for everything. They they get everything through through
the phone like all that. And they do the social media and and all
that, the sort of Instagram Facebook style thing there too, with you know,
a Chinese twist. What they're doing the same thing essentially, but it's
their own version of the same thing. So there is a Chinese Internet.
It is insular. It is used to track, trace, surveill control their
population, used for propaganda purposes, of course, it is. It's the
same thing going on in the US. Yes, I don't think to the
extent that it does there, but that's not for the want of I mean,
there's some that would like to do that, right certainly, and you
can use technology to enforce all sorts of different punishments and institute criminal justice if
need be. But we're not living in the Demolition Man future. We're not
living in you know, whatever sci fi reality Judge Dread whatever, where technology
minority report technology is being used as as this arm of law enforcement, that
law enforcement is intensely using technology against the American people. Yet, but you
know, there's always that possibility in tech is moving forward. And you know
what I find interesting is that there's there has been a push in recent year
or two, like last year it got big, this push against crime and
different states really going harder against a perceived increase in crime, the fact that
we need to be tougher on crime, you know, this old political rhetoric
of where we need to stop crime. And one particular area that I find
interesting is organized retail crime because it's something I know a little bit about,
something i've certainly seen in action. I've not taken part in it, I've
not been involved in organized retail crime, but I've seen it occurring just so
that people know what I'm talking about organized retail crime. You know, it's
interesting because the public sort of knee jerk reaction to retail crime is they see
the the stupid stories like the smashing grabs are like, oh yeah, smashing
grabs there happening in San Francisco every hour on the hour, and these other
democratically controlled cities. It's all that ever happens is smashing grabs, smashing and
grab. I saw this story on the news the other day there's a smash
and grab in Philadelphia. Oh yeah, and I also saw this news that
a black man killed a white woman. You know, this sort of business,
right, So yeah, you've seen all those stories, and you're gonna
keep seeing more of them because it's what's being fed to you by who.
I don't know. Why don't you ask that question, who's feeding you this
garbage? But anyway, what organized retail crime is is not necessarily smashing grabs.
Sometimes maybe, but I would say the more, the more organized and
professional version of this is what happens is you have a big retail chain,
right, lots of merchandise sitting out on the shelves, different high dollar items
that would be targeted by criminals because that's what they're looking for. The way
that these organizations work is that they'll get a group of themselves ready. They'll
they'll pick out a story like Okay, we're gonna go to this store this
night. We're all gonna go in there, and this is the way they're
gonna do it. And they definitely have a plan when they do this,
because they'll all walk in together. You know, they might be staggered,
but they'll come in lots of times, like groups of two, or it
will be a single one, and then these different groups of there can be
end up being anywhere between like two to like twenty of these people in the
story at any given time, and they they divide and they conquer. Some
have like these little special projects that they're on. It's like it's their special
job. Sometimes there'll be people sent out to as distractions, like they'll get
the attention of the store staff to like do something that distracts them while they're
colleagues who got the job of swiping the merchandise go about scooping up as much
as they can just walking out the store with it. While the others are
you know, busy distracting and doing whatever other jobs it is that they're doing.
So they come in these big groups, they do this, they haul
away how much you know they're able to, and then I forget. There's
there's there is a specific term used in law enforcement for the people that go
in the stores. They're one aspect of the organized crime operation, of organized
retail crime. The other side is the fence operation, which is what these
these folks bring the merchandise back to the fence, sometimes even by an intermediary,
I believe, But anyway, the fence is the person who goes about
selling this stuff. So you get all this merchandise built up from people doing
this in stores. Then the fence person is the one that's you know,
listing it to sell and from an artcleized ring the other day. I guess
what they're doing mainly is just using online websites. You know, name the
site or app that you can sell something online to sell. They're using all
those so they're just selling the stolen merchandise on there and getting away with it.
Interestingly enough, and that that is kind of fascinating because I I,
someone like myself would tend to believe, you know, like a major online
retailer where somebody can go and have a store and sell either legitimately procured inventory
or illegally procured stolen merchandise. They can do either one on there. They
can set up an account and sell through there. You would think think that
these big companies that run these apps and websites would be able to, you
know, see a criminal coming, that they would know that the stuff that
they're selling is stolen like one way or another, right, that they'd have
some sort of detection system in place that they would be able to spot that
and then flag it into law enforcement, and then you know, you'd think
at least their accounts would be shut down. But there are these stories of
these people wearing these multi million dollar operations doing this and they've gone away for
it for years, and that just like begs the question like what the hell
are these big tech companies doing, Like how did this end up happening?
Like are are they incompetent? Are they doing it on purpose? What the
hell? And what is the future of all this? Because also presumably with
a few tweaks and a few little security upgrades on these online retail platforms,
you would think that they could, that they could and possibly will start going
after these uh these they're do wells, right, which is like, okay,
fine, like who cares what happens to these criminals? But I think
that there's another side of this story too. This is and again you see,
you've seen in the past year all these different states instituting these different measures
to fight crime. And here's what I just pulled up for my state,
California. So I'm just gonna read this a little bit just to get some
idea. And this this might not even specifically have to do with what I
was saying with the online organized retail crime and all that, but crime generally
this pertains to. So let's read this. This is from gov dot caa
dot gov. You gota levo URL that both begins and ends with gov.
You know that's official. So okay. The title here California's Investment to Combat
Organize Retail Crime shows early results, published February twenty eighth, twenty twenty four.
What you need to know. In night twenty twenty three, California distributed
over two hundred and sixty seven million dollars to local law enforcement agencies across the
state to combat organized retail crime. Just weeks into twenty twenty four, this
new law enforcement funding has already resulted in initial nine hundred plus arrests, and
local agencies say they plan to use this state funding to hire more police and
law enforcement officers, increased the deployments, and increased prosecutions. Sacramento are Beautiful
Capital. After receiving California's largest ever single investment to combat organize retail crime,
law enforcement agencies across the state report they've already used the money to make it.
Okay enough, There's no point in this state's doing it. Most other
states are doing something comparable to this. And again, the idea of going
after criminals fine and organize the retail crime, I know. Again, I
have no love for these folks. However, the whole tough on crime thing
has been bandied about in the political arena a lot these past few years,
and certainly it will be used this year. The crime issue will continue to
be used, and something something like this, the instance of organized retail crime,
which people have a general idea of, and certainly anybody that knows anything
about it from the general public is going to I would say most people are
just gonna be in favor of like, yeah, let's go after these people
and prosecute them. And you know, why is it that the authority's hands
have been tied for so long? Like enough of this, We demand a
change, We demand that these criminals will be brought to justice, So let's
do it. Seems like we're in some sort of weird phase where that demand
is being pushed, the demand to prosecute, the demand to ramp up law
enforcement, presence to ramp up means some sort of means to enforce the laws
that have been shirked for so long. Right, I'm not saying that there
isn't crime at all, and I'm not one of these people. It's like,
yeah, there's no such thing as crime, that it's not an issue.
It is an issue, but you know there's a push and pull here,
and when you start saying, well, how are we going to deal
with this, there's lots of ways that that could end up playing out,
especially in this bizarro election year we're going into. I have stayed in my
concerns with it in recent shows. I think listeners are well aware of where
I stand on that, and honestly, no matter who gets put into the
position of the executive branch in twenty twenty five. This crime thing is going
to be an issue. But from the looks of things, I mean,
I suspect I suspect that the candidate on the right side of the isle is
going to win, and we know what their stance has been for the past.
How many years are on into this, orly since twenty sixteen, it's
been too long, so not quite ten years, but we're coming up on
it. Tough, on crime, strong, we need a strong leader,
strength crime, tough bashing the head of that protester. And of course the
lawlessness in the streets that we saw in what year was it twenty twenty or
whatever Black Lives Matter? Ooh, that was a horrible movement that just nearly
burned down the entire country. It wasn't really it was an idea. It
was an idea, and yeah, there were some people out in the street
and it didn't end society as much as they said it did. But you
know, and whatever, it's all about perception, not reality. And then
the whole January sixth thing. Uh I, this is all heading in a
certain direction. It's that it's it's this perception once again of lawlessness in the
streets, of mobs, of crazy mobs coming rising up against the establishment.
But it's it's not the establishment, it's just crazy nuts rising up to overthrow
the freedoms of our country. Becoming a domestic threat to national security. You
might even see that being bandied about. Soon enough, they'll just outright say
something like that. Hasn't gotten that level, that level yet, but well
here and there, I suppose, But it's going to be more so.
All of these criminals out in the streets causing riots and destroying society. Well,
if we don't do something about it, I don't know, our society
is just going to go into can and burn up. I guess we got
a clamp down bear, you know, get the boys in black, not
the boys in blue, the boys in black, strap their boots on,
Get the clubs out, Get the weapons out, Get the military grade machinery
which we know you have. Get that out. You know something with tank
treads that's gonna rip up the black top. That's okay. It'll create jobs
and stimulate the local economy. When the government pays some contractor to rebuild the
roads that we destroyed with their tanks, that's a good thing. That's called
a pumping money in the local economy. It's gonna be great, tough on
crime. And there's all sorts of technologic technological apparatuses that could be employed for
the purpose of keeping you safe. You the scared trembling person exercising their freedom
of speech on Google's whatever app, or Facebook's whatever app, or our presidents
whatever it is app, or hell, maybe there's even still a Chinese company
doing business here because we haven't changed that their app whatever it is. You're
at home, safely exercising your free speech where in your deemed free speech zone,
which is those apps. I will tell you I talk about free speech
zones and all that we have in our own minds created the free speech zone
in this hell digital scape that we refuse to divorce ourselves from. We're just
gonna push this thing all the way and where you can keep believing that it's
something that it isn't. It never was. It never was free, it
never was open, It never will be free or open. What could it
be used to do? It could could be used to do a whole lot,
and it might be used to do a whole lot under what pretenses,
Perhaps the ones I'm outlining here likely crime, domestic crime. That's our domestic
cross to bear. That's something that we need to look out for going forward.
Is the second year anybody too. And Biden is very I mean,
he has a history of being horrible in this regard, so remember that.
And the other guy. I mean, I think it's obvious what's going on
there too, So something to look for in America moving forward, in this
free country we live in another interesting little tidbit of this whole national slash in
because this is a national slash international situation, which is what I'm trying.
I've been trying to not only wrap my head around it, but also articulate
it and demonstrated somewhat to the best of my ability, which is very limited
on these past shows I've been doing. It's what I'm doing is we have
our domestic reality, which is a total mess, big time. I mean,
we are ready to undo ourselves. We've got that going for us.
In the meantime, there is the international situation, and that I mean arguably
much worse, not good, not good at all, the global situation and
the tensions. What the could bees that might happens. That sort of stuff
doesn't look pretty it's not yet. Might get worse, might get better.
I mean, I don't want to be horrified here. It could get better.
But this is the strange balancing act we're in, and I don't think
we're pulling it off one bit. I think we are asking for trouble.
So another thing that I think somehow tangentially ties into this whole story is back
to the twenty twenty four campaign of who is likely to win? I don't
know, And when I say that makes it less likely to happen. So
that's a good thing. So I'm just gonna say he's gonna win because I
feel like when I say that makes it less likely to happen. So Donald
Trump and friends, right, presumably they'll win. So here's a story about
that from politico dot com. When was this posting three eleven, twenty twenty
four, so very recently this week. Title of this article Ralph Reid's army
plans sixty two million dollars spending spree to boost evangelical turnout. I hear the
angels singing already, Okay, onward, Faith and Freedom God. I love
these names. They're so good. I mean, honestly, they're using the
freedom instead of Liberty, so I'm slightly less suspect of them. But I
know full well that's just another one of these silly organizations like I was naming
off on these other shows. But cool name, huh. Faith and Freedom
plans to spend big registering and turning out evangelicals and handing out thirty million pieces
of literature at churches houses of God. Okay, so let's read from this.
A prominent evangelical advocacy organization plans to significantly ramp up political spending in the
twenty twenty four election, with one goal in mind, returning Donald Trump to
the White House. Faith and Freedom, a conservative leaning organization, intends to
spend sixty two million dollars registering and turning out evangelical voters, texting and calling
supporters, and door knocking, ten million more than it spent four years ago.
The group is expected to, among other things, and out thirty million
pieces of literature and one hundred and twenty five thousand churches, many of them
in battleground states. Quote in terms of home visits and voters reached at the
door. To my knowledge, it's the largest effort on the right outside of
the Republican National Committee ever, Ralph Reid, a longtime Republican strategist and Trump
ally who oversees the organization, said of the direct voter contact enterprise. But
anyway, I mean, we get this story here, this evangelical association which
has a really cool name, pumping sixty two million dollars into the Trump campaign,
and the money works. I mean, we can sit here and be
all cynical ballet. There's just a bunch of money. Don't do anything.
It does. It's just like advertising works. You spend money on advertising at
work, spend money on a political campaign, it works. You get more
votes, You get more sales with advertising campaigns, you get more votes with
this. It's two different versions of the same damn thing. Just tell people
something, they listen. Okay, pretty much that simple. And the evangelicals
are an interesting bonch, aren't they. I Mean, all it took for
them to warm up to this nincompoop who presumably has nothing, not a Christian
bone in his body. It's not for lack of pretending at the moment,
because he knows it's advantageous to his campaign and he's writing it hard. But
you know, without that being the case picture of Christianity, the guy you
think of when you hold up the cross and you look at that, Donald
Trump doesn't really come to mind. But the thing that got him on board
for the evangelicals surprisingly simple. Just give on board with the abortion issue.
That's all it takes, which ironically or unronically enough, is probably the most
divisive political issue in the entire country. Certainly in our country's recent history.
What's the most divisive issue, probably that for the past couple of decades.
Now, funny to see how that's the thing that really riles this whole scene
up, and that brings out the big money in this case and brings out,
frankly, the support for the evangelical So that's all it took was for
Trump to be their guy in the row versus way. The whole issue and
the debacle that that's been over the past year, what an absolute mass And
yeah, the most divisive thing in our country. That alone should make you
think about the issue. I'm sorry, just that alone, you have to
be thinking about that whenever that issue comes up. I'm not taking a side
on it because from a certain perspective, there's correct points made on both sides
of that. Isn't that clever? But anyway, be that as it may,
these fools that go by the umbrella term the evangelicals. That's all it
took. Donald Trump did the good work there and he's gonna continue to do
so. So we'll just sign up for anything he does from here on out.
I mean, he did that, and so everything else is, Hey,
he's got let's give him sixty two million. Anybody got millions of dollars?
A consider around him? Here there, you go, do more,
do the lord's work with sixty two million dollars. I can't wait to see
what that is. And we know what that is, don't we. Trump.
There's some disgusting story about him going to some idiotic religious broadcasting event political
event that he's doing as part of his campaign this past week. I mean,
just that, the religious broadcasting thing. If you're not instantly want to
throw up at that concept and those scumbags to begin with, then you know,
I don't know what to do for you. But he was up there
again just playing total lip service to this huge section. This is the thing,
this is the crux that his campaign sits on is the evangelical vote.
And it's a big one and it bridges a lot of ethnic, racial gaps,
which is interesting that he's able to get a lot of extra votes there
where presumably if you're thinking, if you're not considering that, you need to
be. So he's thinking that way. So he's up there saying, yeah,
I'm God's man, and the evil Satanic Democrats don't want us to be
able to read a Bible, and we have to stand up for the Lord.
He's saying, this is paraferct. This is not exactly what Donald Trump
said, but you know he's saying something idiotic like this, right, something
something really stupid, some evangelical BS, which is not his typical style of
BS, which is equally idiotic and annoying and evil and dangerous. This is
a new kind of BS that he's taking on because he knows he has to
to win and he'll use it. And when his regime comes in the next
time, you better believe that he's gonna be tough on crime because there are
going to be a lot of protests. You thought all that stuff in Tony
Tonya is bad. Protests are are guaranteed if he gets in there when they
happen, that's when you're going to start to see the action happen. This
crime Oh boy, this crime is even worse than it was before. What
do we do this? Our cities are burning, our governments aren't they need
to respond? What are we going to do? Well? The only question
on what it is that happens is whether the militarized police force is given the
current blanche authority to just go in there and just start mowing people down like
timan square right, we're shina now. It's either that or the actual military
is going to be called in like Trump has suggested, because that's what we
need. We need the military to come in to stop crime. Again.
You define crime to me. What crime is it that we're going after?
Is it scary stuff like organize retail crime? Is it the burning cities that
are happening because of BLM, Antifa, you name whatever the fake group is
that they made up. That's either just an idea that they say as a
group that isn't or it's some other thing that they made up for their own
purpose and are trying to scare you into something that's not really happening. That's
how it's all going to go down. This fool is going to be elected.
People are going to take to the streets, which they should. But
the problem is there will be a response to that, and it will be
an initial response. It will build, It will build, it will build.
There will be legislation, there will be all sorts of probably technological measures
taken to keep everybody safe, national security enemies, foreign and domestic, specifically
domestic in this case. Don't worry. We'll deal with China and when we
need to, I mean we'll probably after we're after our new government has incarcerated
half of the population, presumably China come in here with Russia and just invade
us then, because half of us are being either executed or thrown in a
gulag or whatever, might be a bit easier at that point to come in
again. I'm being hyperbolic and stupid. None of this could ever happen.
Nothing bad ever happens to the US. We're exceptional here, the American Freedom
Foundation has said other they know that we're here to stay. God has smiled
on this country. God is going to make everything good. Sixty two million
dollars that came directly from God is going to get our guy that we only
care about because he is on our side of a super divisive political issue.
That's going to change everything. That's what's happening. This is all the stuff
that's happening now. I don't know, and you know, again, this
is just my take on things. I'm sure I'm wrong about a lot of
it. And one of my hopes in saying all these things, making these
stupid predictions, is that when I say them, they don't happen because I
don't predict things and I don't know the future, So that's good. I'm
just some nut with trump deranged derangement syndrome, just blathering away into a microphone,
making a podcast out of it. And I don't know if I can
say I enjoy it, but I'm doing it, and I don't know what's
going to happen next week. But this stuff, this, this is I
don't know. This is what's been on my mind. I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I will tell you that
if you continue listening to the OCEL Radio network tonight, here you get dose
to something lighter this next coming out, which is coming up in Window Dott

that time when Benjamin Fulford said that an Asian secret society was going to dispatch
ninja's to take down the Illuminati? Oh that's interesting. Yeah? Yeah.
Did that ever work out too good? No? It didn't, did it?
But here on o'chelly dot com radio network, things work out a bit
better, don't they much better? What I mean, it's clear and understanding
about the programs. The programs are much clear getting live people into it.
They really have a good conversation going much better, so much better scene.
I say, forget Benjamin Fulford and his ninjas and listen to the Olly dot

Michael Swanson explains the great national transformation that took place and put the Kennedy presidency
in the context of the Times and reveals never before published information about the Cuban
missile crisis. President Kennedy would not have been assassinated if he had been president
two hundred years ago. His assassination took place in the context of the Cold
War and the rise of the national security state. Before World War II,
the United States was a continental republic. In the decade that followed, it
became an imperial superpower. Generals such as Curtis Lame not only wanted to invade
Cuba, but knew that there were short range missiles on the island armed with
nuclear warheads that they could not destroy because they were on mobile launchers. Their
invasion could have led to a Third World War, and they wanted to go
to war anyway. The War State by Michael Swanson reveals why, and we'll
show you what President Kennedy was up against. For more information, The Warstate,

honey, this is a Lenase podcast. Co right, Cord, go wait
here we are hick up, g I pad your cellphones and hammy and listen
to or go the broadcast. Watch out if you're sitting down for this all.
If you're standing up, the better get ready for this because it's gonna
hit the air drums. I'll go the podcast you were listening to, Uncle
the broadcast. My name is Aaron. I'm the nephew law I heard he
is the seven show. Uncle, Hello ladies, and three hundred and thirty
seventh episode nine. Damn we I mean I just talking talking about oh Lewis
and Clark. Yeah, the I mean this is a crazy show. I've
been watching Superman right, yeah, it's Superman. It was just I don't
remember the pond. The parts are messing me up. You don't remember the
show so well, the parts, the pots, oh, the individual parts
that happened in the show. You had forgotten because it's been so long since
it's been on, right, it's an old show. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah, But he's not going all the way back to the Superman you
know, the guy who ended up in the wheelchair. Right, you're you're
not going back? No, no, not that I mean that. Then
he's he's he's going. Yeah, that's the nineties TV series, which some
people I'm sure are familiar with. Christopher Reeve I think started in the seventies.
Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, the nineties TV show is what
you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, shows that TV
show? Yeah, and who I was trying to remember the names of the
stars. There's that babe with the black hair who I can't remember name.
And then the guy who plays Superman Slash Clark is like Dean or something,
right, Yeah, that was Dean Kine, Dean Kane. Okay, what's
what's the woman's name? I'm trying to remember the woman's name now I can't.
I'm thinking here it was I know, the one was Dean Kane.
And then they had a movie with Brandon Ralph for a minute, I think,
right, but that was that was later, that was like two thousand
and something. But who was the who played Okay, Margo Kidder was Lois
in the nineteen seventies eighties Supermans, right, okay, okay, now who
was that other one? But this is like a younger Lois. Yeah,
let me look up I m dB. Is that is TV on I m
dB? Yeah? You know, podcasts are up on IM. You might
be on I m dB at this point, Aaron, Oh, go ahead,
a lot of podcasts, Uncle, podcast might be I got it.
Uh, it's it's Terry Hatcher. That's one. That's her. That's not
the one. That's not the one. This isn't the one. This is
what we've been talking about, Uncle, So it's you're you're watching a newer
movie. I think you're watching a new movie Terry. Wait, is Terry
hatcherand or not? This is Dean Kane. This is Terry Hatcher. They
were the main stars. And whoever Lane Smith is in the newscast, they
weren't in the newscast. They weren't. Does this look familiar as Superman?
Does this guy look familiar as Clark Kent? This guy with the glasses,
is that Clark Kent? And what you're watching it's the that's that's the other
one. Okay, and it's not the car too. I'm showing up pictures
of Dean Kane, said Jim Kaine. This is the other one. It's
not the okay, but it's not the cartoon, right. How about the
these two? Is this Clark? Is this Lois? That's those two?
Oh god, I kins and it's really complicated. Okay, I just found
something. Well but he has kids. I think I got it. I
think I got it because there is a thing on Max now called Superman and
Lois. That's it. Okay, that's what I think it is. Okay,
yeah, that one, that one, And does it involve Dean Kin?
And no, doesn't involve Dan Kane. I'll take a look at who's
in it. But there's the synopsis is Superman and Lois. After years of
facing super villains, the Man of Steel and Lois Lane returned to Smallville to
raise their teenage sons. That's it. That's okay, that's what he's talking
about. All that's the one, all right, see that it is confused.
I saw that one and then I saw the one you showed me.
There's been so many. They were in two of them. They were in
two kinds of things. But I sort of can't get it's crazy because we're
in this era of comic book cinema where every comic book you've ever heard of
is being either made or remade as a movie. Again. Now, this
takes us back in time to the older comic book movies, and certainly Superman
is the one that over the years has been done the most in cinema,
TV beat even beat Batman. Are you are you sure he beats Batman though,
because there's been a lot of Batman too, That's true. It's it's
a tough one, but one of those is the biggest. It's crazy.
It's the DC thing because like there is a new one though about the Batman
on these things talking about that, but that's gonna get me confused. Yeah,
well that's the Justice League. That's what I was asking an uncle about
before we went to airs Justice League and super Bow came out. It came
out that the goal was knocked down with the Joker. The Joker put her
in the wilchair. Harley Quinn, you're talking about now, that's that's a
whole other thing, right, Harley Quinn. Suicide Squad, that's Sick Slash.
They have a romantic thing going. Yeah, and they and they had
two daughters. Okay, and the story started there, all right, not
meanimill Well anyway, Clint, it's something boom. Clark Kent is played by
Tyler hoachin h O E c h l I n Hochland Hockland, Tyler Hockland,
I don't know I'm pronouncing that role. And Elizabeth Tuloc is Lois Lane
uh t u l l o c h Elizabeth Tulock not to be confused with
traw Bulock. No, not at all. Okay, So now we got
the name. We got that right, we got something that someone got two
names. And I'm watching two shows. Well we're watching two shows now,
watching this one finishing it up, of course. But yeah, I mean
yeah again, there's so much, so much comic book, entertainment, cinematic
universes being woven all of this that that's been the big gun maker the past
few years. I don't know. I yeah, I was unaware of this
show, Aaron. Do you realize there's fifty three episodes of this thing?
No, I did not know a lot of shows back me. I mean
Superman, I mean is one here? Is that one? And it's the
other one on the end of the one, but I can't remember if it
was located. It's like, I mean, I've been back and forth,
back and forth. I mean, crazy collective imagination can't beyond the pages of
a comic book at present, or we might be moving out of this.
We've been in it the past couple of years. But this is the way
it is, so well, you might come back around, Aaron. You
know, they're talking about reloading. You know how they did all the Iron
Man stuff and then they wound up with the Civil War and all that.
You know, you're talking about bringing back another Iron Man and this time you
know that you can't use what's his name, Downey Junior, Robert Downey Jr.
Again because he's a little old now, huh, you know what I
mean. So they're gonna have to like reboot it. They're gonna reboot the
reboots, you know what I mean? Hey, what now seeing the sea
on these on these these things that we've got, Now, what others can
we see other than the new movies that come out? Well exactly, there's
no other ideas. But it's the thing. Depending on which one you go
to, Uncle, you could be watching Superman from the nineties. You could
be watching Superman from the seventies. You go to Amazon, you can watch
Superman from the fifties, right, the black and white Superman guys, some
one with with what that name that you mentioned, that's the one when he
stopped the train. That's the one your no, no, no, no,
no, no, not even christ I'm talking about George Reeve, the
guy who got fat. He was fat Superman for a minute, remember that,
Remember was kind of white, it was, And what I'm talking about
tonight. Soho, sorry, everybody, this is what you get Superman.
You're gonna get talked about because I can't. I gotta put something together.
And I'm putting this together. Everybody knew live every Friday night on the radio
network and concurrently on our live streaming to get something to talk about doing the
week, to think about what to say. And this is it for me,
you know, since you know we had stopping on this show. It's
okay. I gave the same excuse on my hour. I said the exact
same thing. So you can talk. You can talk government, guess I
mean nance you're at the idiot, he's supposed to be jail. Anything,
Still in the court, still in the cart, still in the Uncle.
You don't want you don't want a Trumpnador bibblehead, then, do you?
No? No, I do know? Have you seen that? That the
the Trumpnator bobblehead's I was asking uncle if you saw it. I'm thinking uncle
might have seen it. No, Uncle, have you seen that? No?
I don't want no government bad episode maybe, but not not with a
damn president which we want to show how tiny bobblehead. Okay, yeah that
I would like to get dodge him Dodger Stadium and get there. I would
like to get him. I'll be a sellout ticket day. I can tell
you, no, you know we'll We're not. We're not really now with
the Angels much. Now there's an uncle. Everybody noticed there's Uncle T.
Look perfect Uncle T shirt right there. Though, I don't want no government
bobblehead. Yeah, yeah, we're just Uncle a perfect T shirt the teacher.
Imagine the Capital dome bouncing around. That's a good one, that stunt
making. Okay, make another one like that. Hey, it's still waiting
on your shirt to make. Well, Uncle, I do have something that
we could do on this show, if you're so inclined. We could do
a unboxing if you want what so, I are you familiar Uncle with the
concepts the online video concept of an unboxing video. Something to move along?
What happened to the box bump well bump wine. Bob brought this up on
the show last week. He said that he was going to do an unboxing
when he got his prize from uh was it Pirate Water or wherever he's going
it? You remember the hed guy? Yeah? Yeah, remember that guy?
Well, he was that guy. I saw his thing. I don't
know what his new ones yet. No, we're talking about and with those
eye polls one eyepool showing on the I Pad the Pirate Water eye eye patch.
I saw that onistically he said, the Eyeball show. I'm picturing like
a cartoon Eyeball talking to Hey, it's the Eyeball podcast. Keep your eye
on me. You know. Sounds like a weird cartoon making something funny.
I like. So, well, anyway, may Uncle, and unboxing videos
where you get a box in the mail, you've ordered something or whatever,
and you turn the camera on, you open the box and you react and
whatever that reaction is, you edit it, you put the video on on
YouTube or what did he? What did he this time? Well, we
have a piece of mail here if you'd like to see it. Uncle,
Okay, let's see what. Let's take a look. So let's see here.
Let me now this is so that the viewers of our livestream can see.
Well, you get that set up, Aaron. I want to tell
people something real fast, and then I'll shut off my MICU. We have
a weird person on the stream tonight, which is showing up ready for this
as Europe and a new person. Well, I don't know if they're new
or not, because we've had we have. Let's get them talking. What
I would like to do is get the new people. Okay, okay,
so if we can some well no, no, the phone lines aren't set
up. Professional phone lines are not set up. But if you wanted to
skype in and you're somebody in Europe, obviously I think Uncle will take the
call through Scott. I will take one on that one I would take because
I haven't heard. So here's what's weird. Usually it shows up and it
tells me a country, and there's lots of countries in Europe, right,
this one has a European Union flag up and just says Europe on the stream.
Because they actually give me a little flags too for the different nations.
All right, you know, I think they getting people from those playing countries.
Oh, we do have Sally Dall listening on YouTube and she's giving you
a suggestion, she says, Uncle, cough away from the microphone. Okay,
but we have German advice. Yes, yes we have Germany. Right,
we have Spain. These are both up on the and those are part
of Europe. Okay, we have a United Kingdom as well UK. All
right, nanda European flag. We also have Australia listening. Let's see,
I don't see any Canada. Let me take a close look. No,
no Canada tonight, but u we have these others. But somebody is just
simply under a European Union uh thing on the stream. And I've never seen
that before. That's totally brand new, a new box that post office get
well, and that I did not. I did not. I actually gave
out our address here to somebody who deserves it. I'm not gonna do that
to everybody. I do need to open up a new post office box,
like you said, uncle, I will haven't yet, goes what's his name,
Ed's probably waiting. Got the loads of bloods yes, yes, the
customers are waiting. I will set one up. I just have to figure
out which one is the best one, and and you know that the circumstances,
I'm just trying to figure out what's I haven't been able to do that,
but I will and I'm gonna get one set up the end, but
maybe without the po PO box. Uncle, we received this piece of mail
from. Do you want to know who this one's from? You can probably
guess from the look of the package who might have done this? Who does
this stead of things send us packages like this? Where's my picture here?
Yeah? That's him. Yeah, I know who it is. I know
who it is. I just can't think of his name though. He's in
Texas. He's the Texas book. Wait a minute, I know what that
is. You know what that is? He found him, he found them,
he found it. So you think you know what the package is.
I already know what's in it. I already know what's in it. I
don't have It's the drink. It's the drink. Yeah, this is the
drink that they found that he said to give to you, that I told
him to look for last week when we had bum wine bottom. Yeah,
that's what that because we needed somebody in Texas, right right, right right,
he's in Texas, in Texas, and he found it, okay,
so he put all these things on. So so that's your prediction of what's
in the box. That's what's what's in it. Do you want to do?
You want what do you want to do? The unboxing? And and
see if you're right, let's stop it. Take out all my frustrations on
the rocks. You gotta do it somehow, Uncle, do it on the
inanimate object idea. That's what called society together. The fact that you can
do it. Women raging package there it is. Oh no, now we
don't got a glass. Here's more paper the box itself. I'm done with
it, Okay. I didn't see a letter at all. There might have
been one in there. Maybe I should check the floor. Maybe destroyed it.
Geez, what do you think? I've had it with paper, I've
had it with corgate. I've had enough of it, quite frankly. It's
and face shifter says, you're prejudice against it's the one that you talk to
Chuck, Okay, the one in the crack room, the crack room.
So you want to hold this up for the people to look at. Uncle.
This is what is? That is he part of the one thing that
he had he and we have. We tucked about this on his show,
my show this. This was on our show bum Wine. Bob came on
last week and he mentioned some odd thing that MD twenty twenty was coming out
with twenty. This is exactly what it is. It's still in some rappers.
So let me take me. It's a double wrap off so we can
really see what's going on because we're still the unboxing is unboxed, but the
unwrapping isn't unwrapped. How did you catch the meal? Uncle? Stand back
for your own safety, Aaron, You never know when I'll fly off the
handle. When did you catch the meal? I do? Who did you
get this? This is on the I just saw this on the ground today.
I don't know who got it, but here it is Uncle MD spiked
whatever that means. That is the new it's the new drink, that crazy,
crazy drinker. Let's talk, yeah, that we haven't found when he
had it in Texas. Salda Sally Doll says, it's ginormous. It is
a large bottle. It's it's a regular MD twenty twenty. How many ounces
is in this crazy thing? Seven hundred and fifty milliters? I didn't know,
Okay, so let's I guess. Yeah, let's read this. This
is what This is the drink that but my Bob was talking about it was
it's spiked. It says it's alcohol twenty percent by volume. That's high.
Well I could. Let's let's do this one for next week. Yeah,
I mean, because I'm not paid to have a drink, it says.
Okay, big bark card put in the It's red grape wine. Red grape
wine. So that ends that mystery. Bob didn't even know what it was
gonna be. If it was like iced tea or something. Is not the
one he was discussing. This is the wine uncle, So then it's a
wine drink. This is like the Holy of Mt. Twenty twenty. That's
the wine drink he was talking about. It is. It is the wine
drink, and it is a red grape wine. So that mystery has been
solved. Is that it does look a bit purple in the light. When
I hold it up to the light, I do see a purple color to
it. Who oh my god, that's good. Just the thought of that
high of alcohol content. We're gonna have to put that in. And two
we ready to have a drink, we'll have to test it. It's a
true I get the testing, truly a bum wine, and we're gonna have
to wait for bum Wine to return, bum Wind Bob to return to the
show to even think about opening that capital. That's what I was trying to
say. So, but now we got pant down. So back to what
I was talking about. I think you're yeah, my shows on TV,
of course, how did I forget? No, Well, I have to
say something for my show, and I know it's fine. Hey, I'm
not stopping it. I mean so, so he was this thing. He
said he was going down to go after the girl get those pennants. Well
they found them and they got the penance, but then they showed up.
So I don't know what's going to happen at the end, but that,
of course we've been wisked the way to a massacre. Land speeding boy.
That's the Helias had a single bow. Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor
from another planet who came to work with powers and abilities far beyond those of
bargle Man. Superman who can change the course of fighting Rivers Ben Steel in
his bare hands, and who disguised a slot pan mile Mand reporter for a
great hunter of bout the newspaper fights are never ending battle for truth, justice
and the American way abow. Another exciting episode in the Adventures of Superman who
all right, there's the old that was the old one, that man on
the show, that's the old one. What he gets sick and lost?
And that was him? So yeah, so then we go down from him,
thought of these other ones. That's people going crazy to understand what we're
talking about. That was that was it? Yeah? Yeah, And I
just want to take a moment and say hello to everybody on x everybody on
Twitch, everybody on YouTube. We are streaming there in a couple other places.
Uh, we're live not only on the Ochili radio network every Friday,
but on those So it's fun doing this, Uncle, And we've got Sally
Doll in the chat room. If anybody also wants to join in the chat,
please do so. We will respond to you. Yeah'spond. We're looking
at that cracker room close, aren't we, Uncle? Yea, and thank
you what's what's his name? Creative Accidents yet. Yes, thank you crazy
accidents. If you're in the crackom, thank you sir. We got it.
Whether or not you are in there, we we are indebted to you
for this. Again, Holy Grail of mad Dog twenty twenty, that you've
sent this is really something special. So thank you for that saw that that
that box. I knew what it was because I know his talk. I
know his writings, cryptic writings. I mean, he's got us kind,
he does so well. Top Bob our Official I can now say that Uncle,
our official bum wine drinker drinker correspondent. Yes, but Uncle the podcast.
He'll be back and maybe we can I'm sure he's gonna to do his
own show with us, but maybe we can have him back on here and
we'll drink it with him too after he's done his show or something like that.
So we'll see, we shall see. It's an exciting time, Uncle,
I mean, it's crazy, crazy bum wine like this doesn't come around
every day, but when you're in this unique position of podcaster that we are
in, there's certain things that happen. So one last thing, what else
can you can say? Well, we can see we haven't hand no shows
to watch lately, and didn't hand the shows on and know what happened to
him. Uh, you're talking about the podcast. I think, oh,
you're talking about Yes, that's a good point. I like to know when
we're going to get back to that. Chuck asked me about this today too,
So we're talking about on Saturdays, we've been doing the VHS watch parties.
I haven't been doing it. We haven't been doing it the past couple
of weeks. There's been other stuff happening on the weekends, and just I
haven't been able to do as much with this as we normally have. But
we will be back. We'll do it again. I'd like to get back
into the video game podcast sometimes too, or the live streams. Uncle,
we haven't. We got to get back into that eventually, but right now
there's a lot going on in the old personal life, and we'll be back
when we can. We actually have the podcast set up back in my bedroom
here. It had been in its own dedicated space, but we're not doing
that right now. So it's just, you know, just things are happening.
I got a skype suggestion. Somebody said that during the part of the
Superman intro where it says look up in the sky, it's a broad it's
a plane. It's that we should cut in and say it's Uncle the podcast
right there, and that should be an alternate intro. That's what I gotta
suggest thinking of something like that. I'm not change that what you just said.
That tri like the sound of that. I'm just passing along the suggestion.
I don't know, you know, I know, I know it does
feel like that might be saying a little better. What do you think that
is? I can yeah, I mean, I mean, I know I've
been in his hand upsit down, but I put up in the air,
flom that instead of sitting Dore standing up, flying up in the air,
come in this guard. It's a bird, it's a plate, it's Uncle
the podcast. And then it drops kid. Is it possible I can change
it? I don't know. Well, we don't have to change the entire
intro, but we could do like a little spot that doesn't well, I'm
gonna let you do that. You know how to do these things, I
know, but I'm thinking I've put something in to that account. You still
start off with the warning, warning, warning, It was not that,
it's not that other stuff. But then in between that, some way we
can figure it out, okay, if I'm letting him do it because he
knows how to do these things, and I'm just passing along the suggestion,
you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I also need to I'll spend
some time sometime and I will edit together some of those audio clips from Daily
Life, because I've built up a lot of them that I just haven't edited.
If i'd spend like a day or something just editing a few of them
together, we'll have a few ready to go for these shows, and we
can play them during shows too. We haven't played with them in a long
time, so I have them in the wings. I just need to do
the editing work there, So I should do that. I should and and
what was talking about here about them on my show, because I think,
wait, going up and down? It is okay, up and down,
upsit down, But if I could put it in the just a little bit,
you forget sitting up or standing sitting down or standing up. You want
to go full on flying through the air. We've been talking about sitting down
or standing up for way too long. As Simon just fly through the sky.
I could change it to that, but we've been fetter to figure out
how that's my pub You feel encumbered, you feel fettered by our theme song
that is constantly telling us the same thing. Are you sitting down? Are
you standing up? Who gives a damn? Uncle says, I want you
to fly through the sky right kiss. That's the message to our viewers ever
given tonight, fly fly, just don't use a Boeing aircraft to do so,
and you will be just. I mean, yes, I mean maybe
on a new evolution coming here, I might change it. That time.
Giving me that time, give me that timeline. We can give you time
for that because that gives you time to figure it out. That figure it
out. Yes, I mean, I'm giving you that time to do because
any you can added these things, I could, I could do that all
possible. But yeah, we're doing a fine show. We're doing just fine.
We don't need phones. Phones are old. Nobody uses them, even
cell phones. You think anybody uses a cell phone as a phone. And
the last time you saw somebody using walkie talkies? Yeah that phones on the
talkies. Yeah, watches, watch band watches. Yes, I mind working
today, but use your phone to go online and check the apps. Use
it. That's what I've been doing. But yeah, you don't use to
make a call. Calls are done. It's all about podcasts. Yeah.
So what we're gonna do from here on out, going into the future,
We're gonna figure out a way to make this technology happen, uncle, Is
that Well, what it's gonna be is instead people calling each other on phones,
it's gonna be everybody's podcasting. Right, we have we have a good
head start on everybody else, so we should feel good about this. So
everybody's gonna start podcasting, and what it's going to be is podcasts calling each
other up. And it's just the way they call each other. Is your
I don't know, podcast calls each other and makes the YouTube video. Okay,
I think we've again, we've got a good head start on this.
We're doing pretty good as it is. But this is the future of phone
calls. It's not people to people, but podcasts. The podcasts we could
get into into people if they want to. We could be in line and
stop welcome to being on those things could get inside their heads. We really
toy with them, uncle, You know, all sorts of evil ideas that
we could institute, or there's some good ones too, But who has fun
with those nobody. So I think we'll go with the evil ones because that's
what everybody else sayes you following me on this one? Yeah? Are you
picking up on laying down here? I know what I'm saying, Get in
where you fit in. I'm saying, test the winds, you go where
they're blowing, right, they're blowing the wrong way, that's the way you
go, right, Who cares? I'm going through so many bookcasts talking on
listening. I've been listening to them all I could actually go I kind of
blunt kiss actually still on my phone that you set up that I still can
get to wold load a book, kists, whose show is it? Everybody's?
Oh, all those different ones that you subscribe to all that time ago.
When I was saying, a podcast where you still listen to all those,
I can get back to them. They're still on that, but they
still Yeah, and there's new ones getting made all the time too, So
we can always find a new podcast, pump that on just to see what's
going on on, just popping on to see what's going on in the see
which when it's gonna be interesting to look at. We need to find some
of these new podcasts and we need to call them with this new replacement of
the old telephone system, that is the podcast to podcast calling system that we
are pioneering right now, get in touch with him, yes today and start
with him and then we'll go from there. Because you doing drink for the
New Year's leminution deal exactly, it has begun. It's that simple. Tell
you create reality, everybody. The little thing we learned from Silicon Valley is
you come up with an idea and you just hey, do it. Okay,
good talking about it, Make it happen, Make magic happen. Look
out, Palo Alto. Here we come. How the house do when he's
there? There? So I can't the house? But wait, which,
what house in the desert? Oh, how's alse in the desert? Is
good? Yeah? Yeah, it's yes, it's uh, it's going okay,
it's going. Well, Yes, that's good. So maybe we'll have
to do videos. We've been actually we've been doing some Instagram videos when we
go out to Landers. I usually take some sort of videos or photos when
we're out there, so I have to keep doing that. Maybe we'll make
more, like many. I'd love to do all sorts of mini there's a
lot of different videos we could shoot out there that we might have to make
a point. Go to that mountain, goat mountain, goat mountain. I
haven't gone to it yet and I'm sitting there waiting no one and go into
the mountain here. Yeah, I mean we've been there how long ago and
we haven't gone to it yet. I know, I know we're going after
whats going in all of stuff. I want to go into that, I
know, I know. I that'd be something to think of it. Man.
I could probably make a story on it, yes, on my show.
Yeah, some of the more. I mean, if we got in
and start looking, we need to climb that thing, we will and it's
it's a nice path that's been built up to Goat mound that we can climb
up. We'll go up there. I've been mean to do that soon anyway,
and I will. So that's on the list of things to do making
just yeah, general funny videos or other videos. There's all sorts of I
mean, honestly, uncle, all it takes is drive down one of the
back dirt roads which are super easy to find, right, Like, what
the heck is this road and where is it go? I don't know.
We have an off road vehicle. Let's go drive down it. So you
do, you turn on it and you get that you bumpy, bumpy,
bumpy. It's fun. I love it, like those hills. Take a
little air out of tires if you have to, No big deal, You're
fine. And then you come across the oddest things out there and come across
some really interesting things that you can make really cool video pieces out of.
There's also like my wife and I happened upon that r V that was stripped
out. The wheels gone, the engine gone, the entire right side of
the vehicle gone, ripped out, no wind does, no interior. Is
that the blowout one? Yeah? It was cool. I mean it was
really cool. It's like, what the heck? How did this thing get
here? Who did this to it? Why are all these things gone?
Why have they been stripped? Presumably somebody went and actually sold this stuff.
I don't know, but whatever, it's kind of cool. Like them,
I'm sure alun them money. Course, that's where money is in all them.
Yes, so you get that anything you can. Yeah, we think
I'm getting ayone who's cans from? You're getting these cans alun them? That
illun them. I mean the well takes the one again to them. Well.
Then and then there was that other thing we came across when we were
driving out. There was the old hot tub filled with satellite dishes. Oh
yeah, that one. That's another thing we found out there. That was
fine, that thing was loaded. And then all of a sudden we get
there. It's gone. Yes, yeah, we went back. Hat was
on them go. Somebody that quick took that many and took them away.
The old hot tub is there, but the dishes have been removed. There's
still other trash in there. Don't worry about that. But the dish.
About the trash, I'm talking about thee they're gone. They were done.
I mean, just pennies. Well, I mean that's how that stuff going.
I mean you'll be surprised the things that kind of come and go.
Right, It's like you think one man's trash is another man's treasure, right.
I think that's how they thought about it, just like that. That's
how it works. Yeah, So there's all sorts of cool trash out there
that is. Yeah. I mean, as far as trash goes, it's
kind of fun. It's fun to run into. I mean, make a
video out of it. I mean stuff out of that one. Yeah,
yeah, a lot of bullet holes and things. You know, that's pretty
typical, nothing unusual about that. We also he is working on Pun's hide
trees making Everybody's fine. Notice, yes, I'm so in today. Actually
nice one in making. Nigel Saunders we had from the Bone Size Zone as
a guest here a few weeks back, and yeah, yeah, I'm no
stranger to Bone Side myself. I've been got a few projects going. Maybe
we'll show those off on some videos or bring them on the show or something.

I've been working to find new ones all the time I have. I would
like to find a comedy guy. I just got to it the point and
shoot, been watching these comedies on the show on TV. Why not trying
to find one land them? Yeah, I mean men. But again we
have to break in and talk too. We got do we men to talk
to him? We do. I mean I've seen what we was doing was
wrong. I understand how I was working it. What our show, the
way we did the show. I mean, wasn't it day we're taking on
the show? And why we stopped at talk? Oh? Are we talking
about the calls? It calls them? I mean just taking a break.
They'll be back. Remember, we have to remind everybody that the calls could
return at any given moment, not right now, but they'll be back.
We're taking a break. Uncle. We didn't do anything wrong, No,
I thought, I thought. If anything, we're doing things too right.
I thought, I thought I did. No, no, no, let
him talk too much? No no, no, no, let's look again.
If anything, we do things too right. We're too good at this.
Okay, We're just we're great, Okay, We're we're the best things
in slice bread. We won't change anything, but we are changing things because
sometimes you have to change little details. Okay, you see, we didn't
do anything wrong. We're just changing details. We're reworking things. We're constantly
taking the wrench out and tightening and loosening where we need to, putting oil
where oil needs to be applied, and making sure everything is a well oiled
machine. That's what we're doing. Uncle, Nothing to see here, folks.
We're just under the hood doing repairs and maintenance. It's routine. It's
all quite routine. Wow, isn't that exciting? Uncle? Yeah? Back
to those shows. What show do you watch this time? That is a
very interesting show. In the colors of the sky toned orange? It was
orange yet well I was watching it at the time. What I said,
The sky turned orange and everybody in this family Tom the hint like him.
You mean like Superman? Right? Oh, gosh, sky turned orange.
And the youngest son that was like him had long hair. When he comes
on, my long hair on him? Jay, Joe, Jake, Jake,
Jake. Is this the son of Superman? Yeah? The other one,
the other son, the son of Superman who has long hair. No,
not change, he changed into long hand, but he had the short
hair. But this one Nane that I was what I was watching. Yeah,
and and the wife looked like one of those bike guys. It was
funny about like Sons of Anarchy or something. Yeah, like a motorcycle club.
Yeah, yeah, and that kind of jacket and stuff. That's that
brings up an interesting point. Do you ever notice when we're driving down the
highway, Uncle, you see those guys, like the real life versions of
them, driving their motorcycles down the highway. See those guys all the time
from different motorcycle clubs. They're they're always riding. They're always lighting now and
the desert, are you? Yeah, they go that's where that's where they
hang out. Oh what they go to? I see them hanging around around
here around town in certain places too, Like sometimes I'll see them like standing
outside certain places or yeah, more often than not, I see m rinding
down the ten highway. So yeah, there's a lot a lot of clubs
out there clubbing it. So you know, whatever they're doing, I don't
know, not my business. They're just driving. They're just driving their motorcycles.
All good, Uncle, it's raining right now here. I did hear
you? Hear that. I I was walking the door just today at night,
just that, and it was blinkling that the time fun to lightning coming
down on the short walk that I make around the around the around the road,
and it started splinkling. And then by a time I got home,
it wasn't pulling at the time, then it started coming down after I's in.
I want to see if I can pull up a web graphic of southern
California Doppler radar so people can see this Doppler radar imagery of what we're experiencing.
Now, let's see here. Is this a good one? I'm making
this my mission. This one looks like garbage. I'm gonna find something good
so that the viewers on the live streams can see Doppler radar for our area
here because it is raining, it's been raining, it's unusual, you know.
Okay, oh this Doppler, let's see what we got. Oh yeah,
this looks Oh this looks pretty good. Right here. Let me see.
I think I can pull this. I'm going to make this graphic up
here as if by magic on the live stream thing. So let's see here.
So feel free to continue conversing with me, Uncle while I do this,
I'm just performing technological wizardry of with these images. Here we go.
Let's see. Now I have to play around with it a little bit.
Here. Okay, I have to press the accept button. I guess we're
gonna get this to work. Come on, you demon there it is.
But let me see if I can move it. Yeah, exactly, that's
yeah, I know, yeah, old on, hold on, hold on,
let's see here. So this is a oh, I have an idea.
I don't worry. I know what to do. Uncle, I just
have to Oh, I know, I will change this with a mere keystroke.
I will make this graphic do my bidding. Let's see here. There
we go. Look at that. It's almost like I know I'm doing.
Okay, so there's that. Let me make it the right size here,
and then we will the people. The people can see what we're experiencing.
There it is. There's Doppler radars. Look at us, uncle, you
want to give the weather report here? What's happening? Why don't you explain
what's happening on this Doppler radar to the people so that people know we've got
we've got a lot of wine in California and it's just dotting the waine pretty
good and ducking on that. As you can see on the doppler, there's
a lot of green. That green is the idea is a raining. The
green is the rain. There's also some blue over and that's over in Arizona.
It's the blue cannon. The blue, according to this graphic says blue
is snow. Oh that's right, it's snow. That's that's right. The
snow point is above that, so the rain is under it. So with
the rain coming down and the snow above it is getting the snow. Yeah.
So the higher elevations are getting snow now from what we're seeing here.
So I wonder if that's up by up where the house is, I mean
up that high. Oh you mean like the high desert, yeah, high
desert. So well, it's funny there hasn't been snow in the Joshua Tree
Landers Mojave area there at all this year. There needs to be, but
not this year there hasn't been. But in other areas, yeah, there's
there's snow now. And I guess out in again higher elevations up in northern
Arizona, it looks like there was getting snow. According to that Doppler radar.
Yeah, I think it's from there. It will spot coming down.
John, I didn't like that show going fishing, No fishing show, No,
the fishing show that we went down to, uh vacation. We were
we we went on, well, how long ago was this? This was
a surprise one for you And they come back and let them think again we
went fishing. Yeah, we went fishing. How long ago? I don't
know. We have well the tenth for we went camping, Yeah, camping,
We went camping. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, we go
camping. Yeah that was I mean, I meant camping. Oh okay.
I was trying to remember time we went fishing and I couldn't pull fishing too
into that into the into the camping. Oh yeah, you're talking about Sequoia
National Forehead there we did do fishing for a minute. I forgot about that.
Yeah I didn't. We weren't successful, but we tried. We tried.
But I think if we go before the wing comes and the coach nips,
I think if we can do it at that time, yeah, we
can probably catch fish. Well. According to our Doppler radar, does look
like the Sierra Nevadas are getting some snow as well up north, so that
would be around well, let's go. It looks a little yeah, it
looks a little further north than even we were, but somewhere up there in
the northern in the Sierra Nevadas. Uh. Of course we didn't have a
bed. We had a bad wind. I mean a coin in the wood
to win. I mean we can hand something, Calma. We were on
the Kern River and it was raging because of snow melts. That was what
it was. There was a lot of snow melt going on. It was
crazy. Do not get in that water, You're liable to die. It
was a real dangerous people. I think people were dying. Yes, who
got into the water. That happened a couple of days after we left,
somebody went missing. So but yeah, that was that was a fun trip.
Oh somebody on the line. No, no, no, no lines
to be had. It's just a little little computer noise. We are on
the computer. We're working on that podcast to podcast calling system of course that
we're working the kinks out as we speak. But again, we got a
good star. It's nearly there. Everybody, give us a couple of days
here, we'll figure it out. That's all we need. Yeah, Doppler
radar. You don't need any official meteorologists. Like these news stations plants around,
they don't know what they're told them about. They don't. Well,
we just sit out there and just look out in this out in the rule.
You'll see the rain coming down. Yes, I have to look at
the TV to tell him what's gonna happen day? That thing. I don't
understand these people exactly. I mean, we're using Doppler radar just because we
can, and we think it's fun and we like to show people how useless
it actually is and how actually us telling you that we hear rain. It
is probably better. I can sit there and want stand for whether we port
than a TV show what TV news? Right? That is right? Dang,
I realize how sick you were I had. It looks like Ed is
saying is asking, am I going to have to come down there and show
you guys how to fish the Sierra Nevada watershed if you want to. If
you want to come to a camp day, welcome to well us one day
and pitch hell tell how to throw a bait thingion to teach these people how
to do it. We did not plan appropriately for that one, that's for
sure. Yeah, I'm sure you have all sorts of good. Yeah,
we didn't know what we were doing, but so yes, the answer is
yes, you do need to do that because we could use the help.
Fishing not our area of expertise. So yeah, that'd be cool. The
Sierras are awesome and the Curtain River is very beautiful, and to be able
to pull fish out of there would be a point of pride. It would
be it would be exciting. Boy, can you imagine if we had one
fish, there's one fish. It would have been a nice taste of fish.
It would it would have no doubt about it had to be once did
they We would have had a nice fish. Bee would have been good.
And I wouldn't like knowing it would taste in the in the in the lake,
in the in it in that river because I know they're there. I
just didn't know how to catch throwing things. Yes, yeah, they're in
there all right. You know they're in there, swimming abundantly in that crazy
river. You just have to be able to be tricky enough to get them.
