Speaker 1: Rise to gotta their paperback and ebook copies available of
Speaker 1: that have the affiliate links, and also have the Patreon
Speaker 1: account linked at the Age of Transitions dot com, which
Speaker 1: I have a very exciting project. Been putting to the
Speaker 1: Patreon lately. I know I've been mentioning it past few shows.
Speaker 1: I want to continue. I've been posting a couple. We're
Speaker 1: already two episodes into what I'm calling looking for Truth
Speaker 1: in All the Wrong Places. And what we're doing there
Speaker 1: is I've dug out my old Truth DVD collection and
Speaker 1: we've got some selected works from that that we're gonna
Speaker 1: watch at But we're gonna be watching and making commentary
Speaker 1: and taking notes really because I want to go back
Speaker 1: in time. It's around two thousand and six to twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: is like the time where these old DVDs are from.
Speaker 1: So going back revisiting that, what was going on in
Speaker 1: that world at that time? What are some of the
Speaker 1: characters that popped up out of there? And what has
Speaker 1: what happened to the movement? The truth movement no longer exists,
Speaker 1: It did metamorphos into something altogether different. A lot of
Speaker 1: the people who are part of it are bigger than ever.
Speaker 1: Many are gone, and we're exploring that. And I'm hoping
Speaker 1: to make a video where I might cut up some
Speaker 1: little pieces from these DVDs and like piece it together
Speaker 1: in an interesting edit that tells the story that I'm
Speaker 1: saying here. It's like, Okay, what happened this thing?
Speaker 2: What was it? Where'd we go.
Speaker 1: Along the way we went along the way, where are
Speaker 1: we at now? And I don't even know what that's
Speaker 1: gonna be yet, but it's a work in progress. So
Speaker 1: doing that on Patreon and having the anybody who's supporting there.
Speaker 1: I'm doing live streams where we're doing this, so some
Speaker 1: people have been able to be there live and you
Speaker 1: can chat and we'll have a discussion. But definitely hoping
Speaker 1: for listener feedback in this project I'm doing there. So
Speaker 1: excited about the Patreon so I am wanting to continue
Speaker 1: to mention that because I'm going to be making as
Speaker 1: many episodes as I can of that made two this
Speaker 1: past week. I'm thinking maybe Wednesday nights I'll be able
Speaker 1: to steadily do a show. It's gonna be late at night,
Speaker 1: but I think I'm gonna be able.
Speaker 2: To do that.
Speaker 1: I was saying about maybe doing one Friday and the
Speaker 1: day to day, but I didn't. We'll see, We'll see.
Speaker 1: It's so far, so good. I'm really enjoying that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So thank you for listening to the Age of Transitions,
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here. Have it you may have arrived.
Speaker 1: Things seem to be doing fairly well surprisingly for this show.
Speaker 1: For the Uncle Show, All of the metrics that I see,
Speaker 1: which can be very confusing, seem to be generally uptrending
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's not much, but it's something. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited about things about doing what it is we're
Speaker 1: doing here at the Age of Transitions dot Com and
Speaker 1: trying to counter the insanity that we find everywhere all
Speaker 1: around us in the global propaganda matrix, the online insane
Speaker 1: information space, disinformation space, dueling disinformation, so much to choose from,
Speaker 1: so much to be bombarded by. It is a war.
Speaker 1: There's a war going on, and we are just the
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're innocent. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're bystanders. We might without even knowing it, be enemy combatants.
Speaker 1: Remember that term that might be That might make an
Speaker 1: appearance in one of those two thousand and seven DVDs, right,
Speaker 1: and that YU term. Nobody seems to use that anymore.
Speaker 1: But that's okay, doesn't mean it's not happening. So that's crazy.
Speaker 1: The things are changing day by day. What's what we're
Speaker 1: supposed to be, what we're supposed to think is important
Speaker 1: changes by the minute. It's hard to keep up with everything.
Speaker 1: That's part of the idea that supposed to be able
Speaker 1: to keep track of anything, so it's wild. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of a fight against that whole the whole system,
Speaker 1: this whole system that's trying to, frankly, just keep us confused.
Speaker 1: So we're going to do what we can with this.
Speaker 1: Is it too late? Are there are things changing so much?
Speaker 1: And is are there so many distractions that even like
Speaker 1: trying to cut back against it is useless. Well we're
Speaker 1: going to find out because we're going to try to
Speaker 1: do it. We're going to put our best foot forward
Speaker 1: and do what we can. But let's get to the
Speaker 1: wonderful news of the day here, because you know why not,
Speaker 1: that's what we're supposed to do. So we're we're playing
Speaker 1: right into this insanity, just like everybody else. So let's
Speaker 1: pretend like we're too much better than anybody else. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Trump and pudin Alaska? Who's exciting? I hope we all
Speaker 1: watched it? Were you there for it? How could you
Speaker 1: miss it? It's exciting, good times. It's great to see
Speaker 1: these two guys back together again. Man, it's like remembering
Speaker 1: all better times, like two buddies back together after a
Speaker 1: real long time apart. So I mean, you gotta love that, right,
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love that aspect of this meeting? But in
Speaker 1: all seriousness, this was a mess, as we should have
Speaker 1: guessed it would be. Did anything actually come out of it?
Speaker 1: Not that I can see. Was it made for the
Speaker 1: press event?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Mostly?
Speaker 1: Will there be repercussions for what they were talking about
Speaker 1: at this meeting?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 1: Is the ongoing Ukraine war situation important?
Speaker 2: Yes? What's up? Chuck? Hey? Eric?
Speaker 3: Just really quickly. You know when I went to air,
Speaker 3: they had not had the press conference. Did you see
Speaker 3: the press conference?
Speaker 1: I did, And my first comment on that is a
Speaker 1: technical issue with the one that I saw the interpreters
Speaker 1: coming in, But they have like the audio level of
Speaker 1: putin way too high, and it's kind of like doing
Speaker 1: that thing like it used to do on art broadcast
Speaker 1: with the skype if two people were talking at the
Speaker 1: same time, it kind of like jumps back and forth.
Speaker 2: Did you notice that?
Speaker 3: No, I didn't see it because I went to air
Speaker 3: before they went to the podium, like I was setting up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I didn't see it. I was waiting and looking
Speaker 3: at the podiums and trying to watch live and I'm going, okay,
Speaker 3: come on, come on, you're gonna come out, and they
Speaker 3: didn't do it, and I was like, ah, man, I
Speaker 3: gotta go do this now, and I missed it. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna catch it later. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Was that like the press pool feed or what you know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well again that that technical thing. I'm having
Speaker 1: an arch time getting over. Honestly, it was just so
Speaker 1: bad and every every I think it was all the
Speaker 1: same copy. I couldn't find anything other than that. It
Speaker 1: was driving me crazy. But it seemed like it came
Speaker 1: out late to me too, Like the whole day, I
Speaker 1: was kind of like glancing at the TV and you know,
Speaker 1: I saw the red carpet thing and all that business.
Speaker 1: Was like, Okay, when are they actually like gonna come
Speaker 1: out from Attle meeting and give this a synopsis thing.
Speaker 1: They finally did, and it was really a letdown. I
Speaker 1: mean they didn't say much at anything. You know, putin
Speaker 1: comes out like, oh, we're neighbors, Alaska and Russia. They're
Speaker 1: right next to each other, they're bearing straight. So I
Speaker 1: come here as a neighbor and oh we're good buddies,
Speaker 1: and you know, we're just trying to try and they've
Speaker 1: got the it says in pursuit of peace behind them.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just got that nonsense. It's just a
Speaker 1: whole lot of nothing. They didn't really and Trump was
Speaker 1: was like up there, I'm trying to make a deal.
Speaker 1: But if I can't make a deal, I won't and
Speaker 1: we'll find out.
Speaker 2: So they said nothing. It was crazy.
Speaker 3: And everything's got like the podcast branded background now where
Speaker 3: like you know, it's all like the logo in like
Speaker 3: symmetrically placed in different spots or asymmetrically place depending right where.
Speaker 2: It's like they just want you to remind you of
Speaker 2: what this thing is branded for.
Speaker 3: Is that like just everything now, Like I know the
Speaker 3: NFL used to do it and you know, and they
Speaker 3: used to green screen it and whatever else. But it's
Speaker 3: like everything where there's an event, there's these like branded backgrounds.
Speaker 2: I don't know why that disturbs me? Does that bother you? Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, even that first part where they land on
Speaker 1: the tarmac there come out of the planes with the
Speaker 1: red carpet.
Speaker 2: They had that big.
Speaker 1: That stage thing they stepped up on which had the
Speaker 1: type that said Alaska twenty twenty five and giant. It
Speaker 1: was it was actual, like you know, a physical thing there,
Speaker 1: but it was this type made so that it would
Speaker 1: be for the video and then they stand up on
Speaker 1: it and they get the image of that, and it
Speaker 1: was all about the You see all the reposts.
Speaker 2: Online now it's all these images of.
Speaker 1: Trump and Putin meeting on that red carpet they rolled
Speaker 1: out and they had the F thirty five's, there were
Speaker 1: four of them placed there for you know, just for
Speaker 1: the look of it.
Speaker 2: So this was staged.
Speaker 1: It was a stage that they set up absolutely for
Speaker 1: the aesthetics of it, and that seemed to be the most.
Speaker 2: Important part for sure.
Speaker 3: See that's why I just tuned into puppet Regime before
Speaker 3: that and I went, oh, okay, that's probably about what
Speaker 3: will happen.
Speaker 2: I love the puppet Regime thing because they did.
Speaker 3: The whole like Alaska summit with you know, between Trump
Speaker 3: and Putin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's like the that's like the new
Speaker 1: sort of It looks like that DC Follies show the
Speaker 1: City cinemarti Croft run from the eighties.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like that, well.
Speaker 3: Something like that in a hybrid of like a hybrid
Speaker 3: of that and spinning image almost right like the yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's another one like a muppet version of spitting image
Speaker 3: or maybe sitting Marty. Either way, puppetry, I don't know.
Speaker 3: At least it's puppets instead of freaking AI crap, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, yea I started was out of control.
Speaker 2: I mean, now I agree, you know. But see, here's
Speaker 2: the funny thing though.
Speaker 3: Years ago, I had an idea that I wanted to
Speaker 3: have us all like become talking fish in videos, because
Speaker 3: there was this cartoon program that basically did that, where
Speaker 3: you could assign a voice to like a fish avatar,
Speaker 3: and we could be swimming around with the headphones on,
Speaker 3: you know, and microphones in front of us.
Speaker 1: I remember you pitching this idea. I do recall that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to do it, so yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember that too.
Speaker 2: And see I was ahead of my time.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, you know, nowadays it's big pot and
Speaker 3: talking babies, but I was ahead of my I wanted
Speaker 3: to be talking fish and we could have been to
Speaker 3: the podcast world.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah, yeah, that's what a lot it is.
Speaker 1: Like you go on the Twitch platform, that's what so
Speaker 1: many you always see one of them up in the
Speaker 1: feature top barts somebody like that's an anime character then,
Speaker 1: so they got their voice and then there's the anime
Speaker 1: character that is, you know, the image for them. So
Speaker 1: that's definitely. I mean, people are doing that same thing
Speaker 1: now in a big way.
Speaker 3: But you could tell people that I was talking about
Speaker 3: this like ten years ago.
Speaker 4: Like let's do this. Nobody wanted to do it.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: Everybody's like, that's too true, and I'm like, I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 3: this is gonna be cool, and it's gonna be and
Speaker 3: we could have we could have been the first ones
Speaker 3: to drop that stuff on TikTok. We could have been
Speaker 3: you know, imagine the unclefish, for God's sake talking.
Speaker 1: That would be yeah, way bigger than.
Speaker 3: Whatever he's got on TikTok right now. If if Uncle
Speaker 3: was a fish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well, Uncle's doing pretty well on TikTok, and
Speaker 1: then I'm reposting the same videos over on YouTube.
Speaker 2: This is part of what I was talking about the beginning. Here.
Speaker 1: They're doing good. It's it's getting views, it's growing slowly
Speaker 1: but surely. So things seem to be going well on
Speaker 1: the Uncle front.
Speaker 2: I have to say I seem to.
Speaker 1: Be gaining traction with this more than I have in
Speaker 1: a long time. Not that, and again not by big numbers,
Speaker 1: but at least it's something listening. Game is a game
Speaker 1: on a plateau.
Speaker 2: I got you.
Speaker 3: A game is a gain after Why look, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: cut my mic because the real reason why I jumped
Speaker 3: in just now is because I wanted to test what
Speaker 3: would happen. But because I'm testing all new stuff here
Speaker 3: and I want to make sure that we can be
Speaker 3: stable and run. But I also trying to add relevant
Speaker 3: commentary as well and give you guys book for thought,
Speaker 3: and also just say, you know, sometimes chuck stupid ideas
Speaker 3: end up being what happens in the real world, and
Speaker 3: people will never give me any credit. I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: just say it. Because there was a weird program out
Speaker 3: there that nobody was Everybody's like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, there is an animated thing. It'll take us,
Speaker 3: it'll make us fish. We'll be talking fish. And everybody's like,
Speaker 3: oh man, did you eat those streaming again?
Speaker 2: Get you can get vpede on Bard with that or what?
Speaker 2: Nobody Nobody wanted it.
Speaker 3: Everybody's like, and I had, like, I was producing like
Speaker 3: five shows and at one and I pitched that fish
Speaker 3: thing to everybody, and nobody, nobody wanted to do it,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, look, we just all I'd have to
Speaker 3: do is buy And I could have probably bought the program,
Speaker 3: which wasn't considerably nowadays, it wouldn't be that much, and
Speaker 3: I would have had it, and I could have made
Speaker 3: us fish.
Speaker 2: We could have been the Fish.
Speaker 1: Network really instead of the Dish Network or the Fish Network.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just saying on videos, not not we'd
Speaker 3: still be the oceli dot com radio network, but they
Speaker 3: would come to us because they saw us as fish
Speaker 3: in shorts, you know, short videos. Seriously, all right, anyway,
Speaker 3: enough of that, I'm done. I just want to feel
Speaker 3: I'm like, sorry to break a trade and thought if
Speaker 3: I did anyway, all right, take care of it a
Speaker 3: little be now for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good? No, I mean that's no break in.
Speaker 1: There's just more of the same, honestly. And yeah, that
Speaker 1: summit was a whole lot of nothing. I mean, what's
Speaker 1: going to come after, as we're saying, obviously that's important,
Speaker 1: and that's what everybody's saying, is like, oh, of course
Speaker 1: where we go from here is and they all just
Speaker 1: kind of said that it was like, yeah, but what
Speaker 1: are we doing now? Are we doing anything? Not much,
Speaker 1: very much about that imagery though, as we were saying,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the main idea behind it. It's
Speaker 1: the main idea of so much of this administration. What
Speaker 1: it does is the optics of everything, and the made
Speaker 1: for TV aspect to it, the script writing up a
Speaker 1: scripts that people can really get into or react to
Speaker 1: or both. So you know, it's all about that mainly,
Speaker 1: you know. But this thing in Alaska today they had
Speaker 1: the red carpet, which is interesting. You know, we get
Speaker 1: the royalty, the F thirty fives the piece, and really,
Speaker 1: I mean symbolically, it was somewhat interesting. I thought with
Speaker 1: the the F thirty five's sitting there, the four of them,
Speaker 1: there were four.
Speaker 2: Of them.
Speaker 1: That you were definitely supposed to notice and you can't help,
Speaker 1: but they're sort of in the mid ground. The foreground
Speaker 1: would have been Putin and Trump on that stage since
Speaker 1: Alaska twenty twenty five mid ground the F thirty five's
Speaker 1: background would be Air Force one with the red carpet
Speaker 1: rolling out from it. But really, I mean, the F
Speaker 1: thirty five to me, and I don't think I'm alone
Speaker 1: in this but perhaps maybe one of not too many.
Speaker 1: But the F thirty five to me is just a
Speaker 1: symbol of American empire at its zenith and it's decline,
Speaker 1: which the decline phase we are now in. And you know,
Speaker 1: the decline can be symbolized in the F thirty five
Speaker 1: in an almost literal sense with the many crashes they've sustained.
Speaker 2: When you see one of those.
Speaker 1: Abominations crash, you're that you're seeing us, You're seeing the
Speaker 1: United States crash before your eyes, because it just encompasses
Speaker 1: so much, it encompasses the entire post war period really,
Speaker 1: because you know, you had the rise of the air
Speaker 1: force first of all, you had the rise alongside of
Speaker 1: it with the military industrial complex that was based off
Speaker 1: of the aerospace industry, and that became not just a
Speaker 1: method the method to the United States global.
Speaker 2: Influence, but a symbol of it.
Speaker 1: So, you know, the symbol of American might is always
Speaker 1: you know, these they always use these jets as symbols
Speaker 1: of our American power, right, whether it be top gun
Speaker 1: and the F sixteen fighter or another aspect of this
Speaker 1: today's event in Alaska, the fly over the B two bomber,
Speaker 1: and that's one of the most talked about things on
Speaker 1: social media about this thing. It's like, oh look, Trump
Speaker 1: was in a signal. Look what a tough guy now
Speaker 1: Putin knows, knows not to mess with us. Oh look,
Speaker 1: I bet you don't have one of those things. Oh man,
Speaker 1: good luck. You better listen to what our guy strong
Speaker 1: man says. We know we got you back in the
Speaker 1: corner now. Yeah, so you know, there's a whole lot
Speaker 1: of that going on. Incredibly stupid, but needless to say,
Speaker 1: that same old symbol of the American military aircraft persists,
Speaker 1: and it's being used by this regime as much as
Speaker 1: it ever has. It's like, hey, look, because the IA
Speaker 1: the concept of projecting strength, that's what this whole that's
Speaker 1: what the entire optics for this whole operation.
Speaker 4: Is.
Speaker 1: It's projecting the idea of American greatness, of American strength,
Speaker 1: America first, of America exceptionalism.
Speaker 2: And then it's just all.
Speaker 1: It is is a bunch of sticking the chest down
Speaker 1: and like, look, look, we're tough, We've always been tough.
Speaker 2: We're not going away. Good luck.
Speaker 1: That's everything you can like look at any piece in
Speaker 1: the news and it's all just about okay, well, This
Speaker 1: is just another piece of propaganda that this regime is
Speaker 1: trying to push on us, showing how tough our leader
Speaker 1: is and by extension, how tough we all are, and
Speaker 1: how we have to stand by and be strong with this.
Speaker 1: And there's piece piece, there's strength, piece strength. So all
Speaker 1: of this charged language used in incredibly lame fashion, but
Speaker 1: it still somehow works. Then you have the reality of
Speaker 1: the situation being Look, yes, the military industrial complex and
Speaker 1: it's aerospace might absolutely did bring the United States its
Speaker 1: power and global influence at the height of American Empire,
Speaker 1: which we are past now. So yes, it did that.
Speaker 1: But guess what, there's a new game in town. There's
Speaker 1: new situations arising and they're coming fast. We may even
Speaker 1: be moving into a new world war. We may already
Speaker 1: be in one. It depends on how you look at it.
Speaker 1: But how do world wars work? It's interesting. Even the
Speaker 1: First World War was indicative of this. It was it
Speaker 1: was considered a world war primarily because of technological reasons,
Speaker 1: the technological shift into a new, more advance against previously
Speaker 1: unseen and unimagined form of warfare. For World War One,
Speaker 1: it was trench warfare and all the fun technology technological
Speaker 1: advances that allowed that to happen World War Two. There
Speaker 1: was interesting with World War One. You get the appearance
Speaker 1: of aviation. You know, aviation is brand new, and you
Speaker 1: do have that as a part of the World War
Speaker 1: One too. So you could say the aerospace aspect of
Speaker 1: this even christens the concept of World War in the
Speaker 1: modern era. That uh, the the aerospace aspect absolutely advances
Speaker 1: to even greater heights literally for World War Two. And
Speaker 1: that's between that and you know all the naval.
Speaker 2: A lot of it was naval.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is all like technological stuff that with
Speaker 1: each successive World war, it's a whole new form of warfare.
Speaker 2: It's a whole new.
Speaker 1: It's a new world that you go into. And it
Speaker 1: doesn't only affect how the war is fought, but it
Speaker 1: affects the trajectory of what comes after. The technology not
Speaker 1: just these the battles, the winners, the losers, the corresponding
Speaker 1: peace talks afterwards, the trials afterwards, all of this, the
Speaker 1: technology that allowed the war continues and continues to shape
Speaker 1: the world in the post war period, and it eventually
Speaker 1: leads to the next World war. But the next World
Speaker 1: War is with the corresponding change in the tech and
Speaker 1: the changes in technology. Now I shouldn't even have to mention,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's a big aspect of what this
Speaker 1: show is all about. The Age of Transitions is about
Speaker 1: this rapidly advancing technological age that we're in that nobody
Speaker 1: can even keep up with the changes that are happening.
Speaker 1: We're seeing emerging technologies finally being discussed in the main
Speaker 1: stream because you can no longer ignore them. They are
Speaker 1: actually real things. Now, what artificial intelligence actually is at
Speaker 1: present is highly contested, sparking all sorts of debates and
Speaker 1: arguments of all sorts of different kinds, and rightly so,
Speaker 1: because there's all sorts of weird, kind of stupid ideas
Speaker 1: about it, and then there's like objective realities. But there
Speaker 1: is something else too, is the just stone cold fact
Speaker 1: that AI is not in its final form, nor are
Speaker 1: any of these other technologies that we're seeing rise up.
Speaker 1: It's only in its beginning phase, and it's not going
Speaker 1: to stay the way it is now.
Speaker 2: It's going well. I mean a lot of.
Speaker 1: The the ways that it's used and the the intent
Speaker 1: behind it may stay the same. It's been used for
Speaker 1: control mainly, right surveillance, control, command and control over larger
Speaker 1: and larger systems. But anyway, I do not have a
Speaker 1: PO box death metaler.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 1: But the thing, honestly, the thing that's been keeping me
Speaker 1: from hearing a PO box is the price. They used
Speaker 1: to be really cheap, and so i'd get one. They
Speaker 1: are not cheap anymore. I keep looking around, like shopping
Speaker 1: around for one. They're all so expensive. If I start
Speaker 1: pulling in more money at some point, which maybe maybe
Speaker 1: I can keep going and keep this uptrend going, like
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and maybe I'll spring for a PO box
Speaker 1: because I really do love and I've gotten those awesome
Speaker 1: packages from you in the past. I really appreciate that,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the fact that you want to send
Speaker 1: another one, because that's stuff that you said before was
Speaker 1: really cool. So I will attempt to do that. I'm
Speaker 1: not complaining about lack of funds or I'm just complaining
Speaker 1: that everything costs too much now. But we may, in
Speaker 1: spite of that, work through that. So the search for
Speaker 1: a good PO box continues. But world War three, we're
Speaker 1: already seeing a shift in the techniques of warfare in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: The Ukraine War to be sure with the drones, drone
Speaker 1: warfare is really coming into its own in that theater,
Speaker 1: with both sides using drone attacks to great effect. So
Speaker 1: you know that whole new horror is made in appearance,
Speaker 1: and you could argue that's made appearance with this Ukraine
Speaker 1: war is drone warfare. So that's one new aspect of warfare.
Speaker 1: But there's so much more than that. You've got. The
Speaker 1: Space Force is the newly minted branch of the United
Speaker 1: States military, so that is not to be discounted. You've
Speaker 1: got so much of that has to.
Speaker 2: Do with.
Speaker 1: Again command and control communications. Sure you can put space
Speaker 1: based weaponry up there, but it's more about like communications,
Speaker 1: surveillance orconnaissance and all of that sort of stuff is
Speaker 1: primarily if I understand correctly what the Space Force is
Speaker 1: currently doing and what they certainly will continue to do.
Speaker 1: So that leads us to a very important aspect of
Speaker 1: the new warfare scenario. Whether this be World War three
Speaker 1: or not, it's a new there's wars ongoing and technology
Speaker 1: is changing. We know that much, and a gigantic portion
Speaker 1: of the new warfare to my mind is communications. Have
Speaker 1: communications always played a part in war as far back
Speaker 1: as you can even like point to yes, of course
Speaker 1: always but now with the rise of all of these
Speaker 1: technologies enabled to a great degree through digital means and
Speaker 1: the globally connected information sphere that can be globally connected,
Speaker 1: that has so much to do with this. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: send me an email, man, send me an email, and
Speaker 1: I will send you that. I will so yeah, random
Speaker 1: death metaler. But communications in our day and age, it's
Speaker 1: you know, it can be. It's embodied by what we
Speaker 1: call internet is the new form of communications in this age.
Speaker 1: And back to once again as we like to return
Speaker 1: to the global propaganda matrix, which is what this space is.
Speaker 1: It's a global propaganda matrix. When we are online, we
Speaker 1: are subject to bad actors and influencers. It influence agents
Speaker 1: from across the world, and I just always see people
Speaker 1: not I don't even know if people think about that
Speaker 1: at all. It's not that they forget that that's the case.
Speaker 1: It's like it hasn't even been recognized here and there
Speaker 1: it is, But whenever it is, it seems like it's
Speaker 1: shot down immediately, like we're not supposed to acknowledge it,
Speaker 1: We're not supposed to believe that even though it's just
Speaker 1: plain simple fact. It's a fact of life, of digital life. Now,
Speaker 1: that's we're not even extrapolating and saying like, okay, so
Speaker 1: we know it's a global propaganda matrix. Anybody from anywhere
Speaker 1: could be influencing us. We're not going around and I'm
Speaker 1: saying like, Okay, it's China is the bad guy. It's
Speaker 1: Russia is the bad guy. North Korea the bad guy.
Speaker 1: The scammers that are trying to scam you in India.
Speaker 1: It's actually a bigger operation or trying to take over
Speaker 1: the world. You didn't know that, Haha, they're the bad guys.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying any of that, however, that we're open
Speaker 1: up to all that, okay. And a good example of
Speaker 1: how we're not supposed to believe this anytime, that the
Speaker 1: mere concept that Russia might have had an influence on
Speaker 1: one of our elections, that's met with hostility and shot
Speaker 1: down by everyone. Always left wing, shot down, always right wing,
Speaker 1: always shot down. It's a hoax. Russia, Russia, Russia. That
Speaker 1: was one of actually that was maybe one of the
Speaker 1: most noteworthy things of this stupid event today in Alaska
Speaker 1: was that's actually a quote from our dear leader.
Speaker 5: He's like Russia, Ressia, Russia, and he's.
Speaker 1: Like mocking people talking about the Russia Gate fake news
Speaker 1: story that he's he's trying to actually go after what
Speaker 1: Obama on this stuff now, So it's it's a fresh
Speaker 1: campaign that he's launched in the recent like last month's time.
Speaker 1: This is this thing where he's trying to not only
Speaker 1: shoot down the idea that the Russia influence could even
Speaker 1: that it's completely ill illegitimate. It's fake news, right, it's
Speaker 1: not even that he's trying to go after or you know,
Speaker 1: he says he's doing. That's what actually happens remains to
Speaker 1: be seen. But he says he's gonna actually go after
Speaker 1: a former president and like throw him in jail over this.
Speaker 1: That's how serious it is to acknowledge just the mere
Speaker 1: concept of something like that. And I just continue to
Speaker 1: find that incredibly suspicious because it seems like it puts
Speaker 1: us It puts all of our defenses down, and we
Speaker 1: keep thinking in these prescribed manners. There's so many different
Speaker 1: ones that we could choose to buy into in a
Speaker 1: marketing sense, and all these different opinions of the world
Speaker 1: are marketed to us. And yes, I'm saying they're being
Speaker 1: marketed to us by everybody, everybody everywhere, and depending on
Speaker 1: your persuasions, I guess you'll just buy into whatever sounds
Speaker 1: good to you. But anyway, the old system, the F
Speaker 1: thirty fives, the aerospace dominated military industrial complex, is being
Speaker 1: stretched to its limits. It puts on these last gasps
Speaker 1: of toughness with these shows. I'm sure that they liked
Speaker 1: the visual aspect of the F thirty five's in today's presentation,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't change the fact that we're moving into
Speaker 1: a completely different world.
Speaker 2: And that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that aspect of the military and
Speaker 1: war is completely irrelevant, but it's no longer the big
Speaker 1: thing to look at, I would argue, even though it
Speaker 1: literally is a big thing. That doesn't matter. So the old, yeah,
Speaker 1: the old American system is being stretched to its limits,
Speaker 1: and thus this need for the projection of strength, like
Speaker 1: we're so tough. Look look at America. It's doing better
Speaker 1: than ever and you know, our strong man's just saying
Speaker 1: like it's the greatest, it's the greatest thing. It's never
Speaker 1: been better. So you know, there's all of this, it's
Speaker 1: whole bunch of lies and just nonsense. But who cares
Speaker 1: to somebody it sounds good to Actually a growing number
Speaker 1: of people luckily at least aren't buying into that anymore,
Speaker 1: which that at least is a good thing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: What you need to take note of is the sort
Speaker 1: of shifting American power elite once again, not necessarily newcomers
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that are really vying for complete power. However,
Speaker 1: it's a cadre of characters that I do believe are
Speaker 1: at war with one another. I do think that there's
Speaker 1: that military industrial complex war within within the old Garden,
Speaker 1: new Guard, the old aerospace, and the new tech. Do
Speaker 1: believe that's very real, and I think it's playing itself
Speaker 1: out and we get little You can get little glimpses
Speaker 1: of that from time to time, and if you know
Speaker 1: how to, you know, pay attention, you can see that
Speaker 1: these new guys who have installed, uh, the ruling power
Speaker 1: structure in place now doing all of the wonderful, wonderful
Speaker 1: things it's doing. They're very happy about all of it
Speaker 1: for one reason or another. But uh, what they're what
Speaker 1: you can you can tell who they are by the numbers.
Speaker 1: What are these new giant government contracts? What direction are
Speaker 1: they going in? What are these like unprecedent huge uh
Speaker 1: contracts to these new kids on the block. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at this new company. It's got this hundreds of
Speaker 1: millions of dollars contract to build this rocket drone thing.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's interesting, little well. The guy running the
Speaker 1: company looks real. He looks like a podcaster kid. He's
Speaker 1: wearing a Hawaiian shirt and short so wow, that looks
Speaker 1: is that Theovonn. The Ovonn's a billionaire. Now that's cool.
Speaker 1: So you know, those those are the that is who
Speaker 1: has bought and paid for this system, who was very
Speaker 1: happy to have our leader going around instituting martial law
Speaker 1: in the capital city of our country. And so you know,
Speaker 1: that's just fine with them. That's fine. They don't care
Speaker 1: because it's because they're getting everything they want and thinking
Speaker 1: everything they want. They're riding on the back of the
Speaker 1: destruction of the old way of doing things, and they
Speaker 1: don't care if that completely falls apart because they want
Speaker 1: it to. They don't even want this country to exist
Speaker 1: as it does. That's why you get so much of
Speaker 1: this weird messaging from them and their propaganda outlets of
Speaker 1: you know, it used to be that the constitution was
Speaker 1: this wonderful thing, American freedom and the Bill of Rights. Libertarian.
Speaker 1: These libertarian ideals were pushed by this group, I have
Speaker 1: no doubt of that, and they were pushed onto us
Speaker 1: to buy into It. Was wrapped up as a product
Speaker 1: and sold to us as this new ruling administration that
Speaker 1: we can keep referring to. That's how I sold to
Speaker 1: us as the ultimate freedom, the eagle flying high. It's
Speaker 1: what the patriots would do because the Constitution will rule.
Speaker 1: First Amendment freedom of speech has everything to do with
Speaker 1: the Robert E. Lee statue still standing in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: That's all you need to know about the First Amendment.
Speaker 1: Second Amendment is real important. Okay, we got to have guns,
Speaker 1: especially for the police that are now armed with them
Speaker 1: and the military that are armed with them that are
Speaker 1: now going to carry out law enforcement on the evil
Speaker 1: invaders from far away lands. That's who they're going after.
Speaker 1: But they will also go after domestic criminals because crime
Speaker 1: is bad. And so you know, we're taking care of
Speaker 1: all the problems. Were we talking about the constitution. The
Speaker 1: Constitution is bad. The Constitution is boring, it's old, It
Speaker 1: gets in the way. Freedom is all about living in
Speaker 1: a freedom city and making sure they have a real
Speaker 1: strong leader and a strong not government because we hate government,
Speaker 1: I think, do we I don't remember, but we want
Speaker 1: a strong leader that's a business person.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 1: We want a strong business leader for our country, which
Speaker 1: is actually a business, which is good. That's good Libertarians.
Speaker 1: The government is bad. Private enterprise is always good. Government's
Speaker 1: always bad. Strong strength guns, second Amendment, that's right, second Amendment.
Speaker 1: We were talking about the Constitution. So guns are good,
Speaker 1: especially when they're pointed at, you know, people that are
Speaker 1: just day workers. But the day workers are actually hard
Speaker 1: and criminals, so we have to you know, put them
Speaker 1: in a horrific holding space, in a terrible prison which
Speaker 1: absolutely is only built for them and not for you.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so this new power elite, which isn't really new,
Speaker 1: but they're gaining influence.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It's this special technocratic class of characters that do want everything.
Speaker 1: They want to be able to do anything that they want.
Speaker 1: They don't want any sort of legal documentation to hold
Speaker 1: them back. Things like the American Constitution will get in
Speaker 1: their way, so they have to systematically be rid of it.
Speaker 2: In order to.
Speaker 1: Get what they want, do what they want and keep
Speaker 1: building the architecture, the technological architecture to own, operate, and
Speaker 1: control an entire country, or maybe it'll be several different countries,
Speaker 1: because now you know, it's like a medieval it's like
Speaker 1: neo feudalism, right where it's better to have more countries
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to name them whatever we want,
Speaker 1: and you know, it'll be a lot better than the
Speaker 1: old system. Get to live in digital castles, so it'll
Speaker 1: be cool.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: This I believe that there's a tie in. There might
Speaker 1: be a tie in, because it's still nebulous and mysterious,
Speaker 1: would be the technocratic American oligarchy. There possible connections with
Speaker 1: these guys on the other side of the earth, Russia,
Speaker 1: because there was that story that Elon Musk had some
Speaker 1: sort of talks with Putin, but I never really saw
Speaker 1: much detail about that. They're just kind of like referenced.
Speaker 1: And of course, the technology, the communications technologies that mister
Speaker 1: X himself owns and operates, played a big part in
Speaker 1: the Ukraine War. The starlink was it was a huge
Speaker 1: part and the giving the starlink system to Ukraine and
Speaker 1: then you know, taking it away and you know, the
Speaker 1: changing of opinions and the erratic behaviors of our favorite
Speaker 1: billionaire playing a huge part in this war and the
Speaker 1: technical operation of it, and so any potential communic case
Speaker 1: he might have had with Vladimir Putin, I would assume
Speaker 1: had to deal with that sort of th stuff. And
Speaker 1: so we're kind of back to you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if we're back to where we started, but we're
Speaker 1: starting to get a glimpse perhaps of the connections between
Speaker 1: all these different players on the world stage, because everybody
Speaker 1: is a little bit out for themselves, to be sure,
Speaker 1: but they are getting what they need to from each
Speaker 1: other where they can and striking the deals. It's all
Speaker 1: about deals. It's all about business. Who can make the
Speaker 1: best business deal? And there you have it. So I
Speaker 1: guess for the Libertarians that we're all supposed to be
Speaker 1: now and this is all good news. It's all good
Speaker 1: that things have ended up this way because we're freed
Speaker 1: from the oppression of a government that doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1: So we got that call for us. So that's something
Speaker 1: too applaud I guess maybe yes, this SpaceX rockets are
Speaker 1: exploding all the time. That's part of the comedic aspect
Speaker 1: of this, which there are hilarious sides to this, and
Speaker 1: these guys that are just vying and receiving more and
Speaker 1: more power are such like so weird and pathetic in
Speaker 1: so many ways. Man, Yet they somehow have reached this
Speaker 1: pinnacle of influence, wealth and control, and they don't want
Speaker 1: that trend to continue. They want to push it to
Speaker 1: the extreme limits of however far they can go. And
Speaker 1: that's what they plan undoing. Now, what we the victims
Speaker 1: of all this plan ondoing in response that remains to
Speaker 1: be seen, because we're sitting here within their global propaganda
Speaker 1: matrix and they're having their way with us with information
Speaker 1: warfare and all kinds of disinformation. And here we go.
Speaker 1: We're back to that familiar territory that I know you're
Speaker 1: all glad that we can be somewhere where we understand something.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: There's your domestic enemy for you, there's your domestic propaganda.
Speaker 1: We could even call it American Empire if that's what
Speaker 1: you're into. We could call it whatever you want. But
Speaker 1: thank god, we're not talking about Russia or anything that
Speaker 1: they might be doing to us, thank God, or perhaps
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, depending on who I'm talking to we're not
Speaker 1: talking about China. No, we're not talking about any other
Speaker 1: country other than us, because we are the biggest enemy.
Speaker 1: We're horrible, and it's fascinating to see that the seeds
Speaker 1: of our own destruction we've come to embrace.
Speaker 2: In so many ways.
Speaker 1: And I do blame the Truth movement and what it
Speaker 1: became for a big part of that. Not that they
Speaker 1: are completely culpable, but they absolutely amplified that project. Now,
Speaker 1: who stands to benefit from that? Again, it's kind of
Speaker 1: a wide open question with lots of possible benefactors and
Speaker 1: overlapping interests business interests. However, that's not to say that
Speaker 1: the majority of us are not going to feel the
Speaker 1: pain from this, because we already are and so so
Speaker 1: here we are. This is a situation we're in, and
Speaker 1: I just, I mean every day, every day, Yes, I
Speaker 1: think about these things, and it's just.
Speaker 2: I mean, it depends on who.
Speaker 1: You want to look at. Do we want to look
Speaker 1: at the oligarchs? Do we want to look at the
Speaker 1: power elite? However pathetic they actually are in real life,
Speaker 1: they have the power sadly, do we want to look
Speaker 1: at them?
Speaker 2: Sure? Do they deserve blame? Yes?
Speaker 1: Do they need to be called out for what they're doing. Yes,
Speaker 1: does an extensive extensive investigations, not investigation, but many many
Speaker 1: investigations need to go into what they have done to
Speaker 1: us and what they are doing and what they plan
Speaker 1: on doing to us. That needs to happen for real.
Speaker 1: It would be nice if something came of that, if
Speaker 1: some sort of justice could be done in that arena.
Speaker 1: It seems like we're far way off from that, but
Speaker 1: that as a goal is a good thing.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Also, not just those guys, but the people who have
Speaker 1: run cover for them and been again just they're plain
Speaker 1: and simple. They're propagandists for the system and for these guys,
Speaker 1: whether they know it or not. I would like to
Speaker 1: see some just done for that crowd as well, but
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening anytime soon. I think starting
Speaker 1: with uh, just public shaming because they do it to themselves.
Speaker 1: We just don't realize how shameful what these numbskulls are
Speaker 1: actually doing now is it needs to be called out,
Speaker 1: plain and simple or what these what these characters are
Speaker 1: doing and they're quite brazen now. So I hope you're
Speaker 1: having fun making your racist videos because you're so happy
Speaker 1: that you can finally not you can finally you don't
Speaker 1: have to pretend that you're not racist anymore. So I'm
Speaker 1: really happy for you about that. So congratulations, guys. Just
Speaker 1: keep making keep making that content, all right, we'll see
Speaker 1: it's it might end up being your world that we're
Speaker 1: going into, So congratulations on that too, because you're gonna
Speaker 1: get you might get something of it that you might
Speaker 1: get killed off in the purges in an instant if
Speaker 1: you do anything that crosses your benefactors or your leaders,
Speaker 1: so you know, look out for that. But if that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, you're gonna be sinned pretty and you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a real nice place to live, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a real nice, cushy life and what you want.
Speaker 1: So congratulations, well done.
Speaker 2: Good job everybody.
Speaker 1: Justice probably isn't coming for you or for anybody else
Speaker 1: that it had out to, but if it did, we'll
Speaker 1: just say, it remains to be seen what direction we
Speaker 1: all go in, What do we choose? Can we get
Speaker 1: over this hump of being fooled by the most lowest
Speaker 1: common denominator bs imaginable? Can we get over dealing with
Speaker 1: that to deal with real stuff at some point and actually.
Speaker 2: Pull the blinders off.
Speaker 1: That's the goal that I have is hopefully get to
Speaker 1: a point where that's even conceivable. Just to get to
Speaker 1: that point is what I'm shooting for. So we'll see
Speaker 1: what we can do about that. But I'm going to
Speaker 1: end the age of Transitions pretty soon here. And we
Speaker 1: do have a special guest lined up in the Uncle hour,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna want to stay tuned at the Ochili
Speaker 1: Radio Network for that. It's gonna be a good show.
Speaker 1: But yeah, check out the Patreon. We're doing that special
Speaker 1: project which could be going on for a while. Hopefully
Speaker 1: something cool will come out of it or we're gonna
Speaker 1: have fun in the meantime.

Speaker 8: information about the Cuban missile crisis. President Kennedy would not
Speaker 8: have been assassinated if he had been president two hundred

Speaker 8: the Cold War and the rise of the national security state.
Speaker 8: Before World War II, the United States was a continental republic.
Speaker 8: In the decade that followed, it became an imperial superpower.
Speaker 8: Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade Cuba,
Speaker 8: but knew that there were short range missiles on the
Speaker 8: island armed with nuclear warheads that they could not destroy
Speaker 8: because they were on mobile launchers. Their invasion could have
Speaker 8: led to a Third World War, and they wanted to

Speaker 6: You know, I know, fella don't have excuesday it is
Speaker 6: I I knew the man because I followed him two
Speaker 6: places okay, and he we had a discussion and but
Speaker 6: but I followed him on the tic tac and on Instagram.
Speaker 5: Not my uh one would I shi Nano's thing.
Speaker 14: I seen him on that, So I seen him before
Speaker 14: because I recognized the faces. When I look at the things,
Speaker 14: I look at the faces of them, and boy, I'm
Speaker 14: going to beat him on.
Speaker 5: I'm going to beat him to the punch. So ikick,
Speaker 5: I beat you to the punch.
Speaker 4: I knew who it was.
Speaker 5: It was his me.
Speaker 2: Well done. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell people about your your tik tak
Speaker 1: uh ken?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Yeah, So you know, I'm still relatively new to TikTok.
Speaker 13: For the longest time, I wrote the most energy to
Speaker 13: Facebook and then later Instagram, and then everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 13: you got to check out two TikTok.
Speaker 4: So I finally did. But I wasn't really that active.
Speaker 13: I would post a video maybe a few times a year,
Speaker 13: That's how bad it was. Anyways, all of a sudden,
Speaker 13: back in early June, I got banned from Instagram and Facebook.
Speaker 4: I had been with Facebook since like two thousand and eight.
Speaker 13: Instagram obviously a little bit soon, but probably Instagram since
Speaker 13: shortly after it came out and they said I violated
Speaker 13: their terms of use and all this, but they wouldn't
Speaker 13: say what. And there's no customer service to call. You
Speaker 13: can send an email and they don't respond. There's no chat,
Speaker 13: there's no phone number called anyways. So I have not
Speaker 13: I've lost all those years of photos. I mean, I
Speaker 13: have the photos of videos backed up, but it's you know,
Speaker 13: the comments and everything else back since since June. And
Speaker 13: so then I decided to go full speed ahead with
Speaker 13: TikTok and also YouTube.
Speaker 4: And here I am.
Speaker 13: And you know, I had kind of just barely done
Speaker 13: anything on TikTok until recently. But I hope that answers
Speaker 13: your question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh you want to say, or what more? What
Speaker 4: my TikTok is about?
Speaker 13: So about a year a little over a year and
Speaker 13: a bit over a year and a half ago, I
Speaker 13: moved full time to a place called Bombay Beach.
Speaker 4: I've just become obsessed with this town.
Speaker 13: Is this small, a little over two hundred people town
Speaker 13: in the middle of the desert next to a lake
Speaker 13: in the desert, which is really bizarre, the salt and sea,
Speaker 13: and on my TikTok it pretty much shows.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 13: Sometimes I'll show when I'm out doing real estate photo shoots,
Speaker 13: which is how I earn a living. But most of
Speaker 13: the time it's my life here, my daily life here
Speaker 13: in Bombay Beach.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and I live off the grid. I live completely
Speaker 13: off the grid. I have solar powered air conditioning and
Speaker 13: lights and everything else.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's that's how I found you, Like you're
Speaker 5: just you founding. I could have told me about him.
Speaker 5: Am I going to show you the way? Will you been?
Speaker 2: Okay? So yeah, okay starts with me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got you one.
Speaker 2: I'm I mean uncle. He's a fellow desert dweller. He's
Speaker 2: out there in the Solvency out beyond India.
Speaker 6: Right, I'd never all year round, I never knew that
Speaker 6: i'd get him money.
Speaker 2: Show.
Speaker 5: But but though, but though, I've been following him.
Speaker 6: On what he was talking about. Buddy, you got off
Speaker 6: that but I, uh, yeah him, not that time. I
Speaker 6: know you.
Speaker 5: I found you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: It's quite a few people to come out here at
Speaker 13: the Bombay Beach and they're wait, wait, you look familiar,
Speaker 13: and they're like, are you that guy?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 2: Yeah awesome.
Speaker 13: But like I said, I well, I it's like I,
Speaker 13: you know, I first discovered this place way back in
Speaker 13: two thousand and eight, so I would go visit.
Speaker 4: You know, it's about a two and a half hour
Speaker 4: drive from where I lived in Sano, and I.
Speaker 13: Would go visit a few times year, but then it
Speaker 13: started being a few times a month, like every month,
Speaker 13: and then finally I'm like, I need to move out here.
Speaker 4: I love this place so much.
Speaker 13: Why don't I live here instead of coming here every
Speaker 13: other weekend?
Speaker 4: And here I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've never been out to the Salton Sea.
Speaker 2: I've never made it out that way.
Speaker 5: Again, because you're both but at your other place. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's got a place in the uh Land and he
Speaker 5: goes back and forth to that.
Speaker 2: That's a different direction.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a complete difference making and it's no.
Speaker 4: But it's not like it would be the end of
Speaker 4: the world to drive out here though.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, it's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like I want to make
Speaker 1: it out that way.
Speaker 13: It's not like it's not like you live in you know,
Speaker 13: Upstate New York or something where you would be a
Speaker 13: bigger deal to come out here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, no, not a big deal at all.
Speaker 4: Oh so yeah, or you live in some other country
Speaker 4: even like yeah you're not. It's a you could do it.
Speaker 1: Absolutely so yeah, it's just odd that we haven't made
Speaker 1: it out to the Salton Sea. But man, you made
Speaker 1: you and your videos you make it look appealing.
Speaker 2: I'll say that. I was like, man, did you hearing
Speaker 2: like some abandoned building.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And that's the thing though, like to me, it that
Speaker 4: it is. I mean when I portray it.
Speaker 13: Is how I feel. And it's the thing, like I
Speaker 13: love this place. It's you know, you go to some places,
Speaker 13: maybe a lot of places, you see abandoned buildings and
Speaker 13: a lot of times people immediately think, oh, well, you
Speaker 13: know they're going to get robbed or you know, something
Speaker 13: carjacked or something out here, Like the abandoned buildings are
Speaker 13: part of the vibe and people have turned them into art.
Speaker 13: But I also like there was like this is a
Speaker 13: perfectly safe place to visit, you know, whether just visit
Speaker 13: you know, if you just want to come come here
Speaker 13: as a tourist.
Speaker 4: It's perfectly safe.
Speaker 13: Like the abandoned buildings are preserved as part of the vibe.
Speaker 13: What makes this funky place amazing. It's one of many
Speaker 13: things it's just a really creative community, a very caring community.
Speaker 4: I mean this is like my second family out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: I've noticed like a real and maybe it's the algorithm,
Speaker 1: uh giving me what I want, but I've noticed a
Speaker 1: lot of videos on TikTok and YouTube where people are
Speaker 1: exploring sort of a lot of times desert or sort
Speaker 1: of out of the way abandoned place.
Speaker 13: Oh so that's that's been a thing long before TikTok
Speaker 13: and all that. The kind of the generic term, and
Speaker 13: it's kind of a misnumber sometimes is urban exploration, and
Speaker 13: that's where it kind of started. But we'll use that
Speaker 13: term even if it's exploring, you know, something out here
Speaker 13: in the desert, you know, which is the furthest from
Speaker 13: an urban ambart. But that's been a thing. I mean
Speaker 13: it was a thing, but there was no like really
Speaker 13: clubs for it or anything back then. But when I
Speaker 13: was growing up, like I'd love to explore abandoned buildings
Speaker 13: since I was a kid. Yeah, and now there's whole
Speaker 13: YouTube accounts and websites and everything all dedicated that's a
Speaker 13: very popular hobby.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to go in and explore anything.
Speaker 13: Everything from out here are a small little you know trailer,
Speaker 13: it's all beaten up to. I watch other people's vis
Speaker 13: where these people going in and they're able to explore
Speaker 13: abandoned skyscrapers a lot of times where the lights are
Speaker 13: still working and all that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen a popular place where several people went
Speaker 1: is the Sears Roebucks or corpor.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the with the Art Deco building.
Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, which I've heard in recent times though that
Speaker 13: they've added some security and all that, but people still
Speaker 13: sneak in and then you know, they hear the security
Speaker 13: arts coming and they go out a different door and stuff.
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 13: That's a really good example, and I've seen some recent
Speaker 13: videos on that, the Art Deco Seis West Coast Series headquarters.
Speaker 13: I grew up in Chicago, where back in the day
Speaker 13: there was a skyscraper called the Sears Tower, which is
Speaker 13: now the Willis Tower.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, like that was like the really more
Speaker 4: that was.
Speaker 13: I mean the one here on the West Coast is
Speaker 13: a more famous what part of it's like somewhere around La.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh wait, what building are you talking?
Speaker 4: The Art Deco Seris Building, Oh.
Speaker 1: That is in La I didn't for some reason, I
Speaker 1: thought that building was in Illinois too.
Speaker 13: Was out here, No, no, no, So the more famous
Speaker 13: Sears Tower, which was like the World's Towers skyscraper back
Speaker 13: in the day, was the Sears Tower. Now it's called
Speaker 13: the wills TALWK. But I know somewhere and somewhere outside
Speaker 13: just outside of La is an art decko Sears building
Speaker 13: where it has a green Neon sign on top and
Speaker 13: people sneak in they floor. But that Sears Tower is
Speaker 13: abandon but not quite because the utilities are still on
Speaker 13: and they have security.
Speaker 4: The Steer what was originally a Sears.
Speaker 13: Tower in Chicago got bought by some other company called
Speaker 13: and they call it the Willis Tower, but it's not
Speaker 13: definitely not abandoned. But anyways, I've been exploring abandoned buildings
Speaker 13: though since I was a kid, and I still love
Speaker 13: doing it as an adult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I've always love that kind of It's just a curiosity
Speaker 1: of what's around you.
Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, yeah, no, no, go ahead, Kevin.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, so I've gone in, You've gone into plenty
Speaker 13: of abandons. I've never had run ins with fortunately I've
Speaker 13: been I try to be careful. I've never had run
Speaker 13: ins with security the police or you know, some tweaker
Speaker 13: hiding out fortunately, But yeah, I love exploring the band
Speaker 13: buildings and some of the more extreme things I did.
Speaker 13: It's not so much a building, but I want to say,
Speaker 13: maybe four or five years ago as I went seven
Speaker 13: d and fifty feet below ground up in Pico Pa
Speaker 13: Hot Springs in California and explored an abandoned gold mine
Speaker 13: and even rode a mine cart that was like over
Speaker 13: seven and fifty feet below ground. I mean, if you
Speaker 13: want for it, I can send you some clips of
Speaker 13: you know, like that and me out on my boat
Speaker 13: at the Saltan Sea and other things. He'll let on
Speaker 13: if you want to use this, use it.
Speaker 2: I would like. I like the idea of it.
Speaker 1: But I've got the imagery going good.
Speaker 2: I like what we got now.
Speaker 1: But what I will do, Okay, cool and say that
Speaker 1: people if they have TikTok, they need to follow you.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that would be awesome. That would be awesome place.
Speaker 13: I just love spreading the word about Bombay Beach and
Speaker 13: like I said, just I love this place.
Speaker 2: It's so cool. Uncle, what do you think of his
Speaker 2: TikTok because you've seen the videos? Well, yes, what's your thoughts.

Speaker 6: following you on like on the Facebook right face, yeah one,
Speaker 6: and I used to.
Speaker 4: Be primarily photos and that was the thing.
Speaker 13: And then once I lost I had to I lost
Speaker 13: access to my Facebook and Instagram. I had to quickly
Speaker 13: kind of change course and and focus more on video
Speaker 13: and I've had to just kind of ramp that up
Speaker 13: really quick because I'm primarily a still photographer. But as
Speaker 13: you can see, i've in the last few months, I've
Speaker 13: gotten into the video game and I've kind of had
Speaker 13: to kind of just to survive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're doing good.

Speaker 4: have done years ago and here I am. Yeah, how old?
Speaker 4: Where are you?
Speaker 15: And where are you from?
Speaker 13: So I am believing or not fifty three years old?
Speaker 13: People say I look a lot younger than that.
Speaker 4: To me, it's is just a number.
Speaker 13: Before I started living here in Bombay Beach, I lived
Speaker 13: in various neighborhoods of San Diego. I never actually lived
Speaker 13: like on the coast. San Dual count is a huge county,
Speaker 13: but usually inland. And then my last for several years
Speaker 13: in San Diego more like towards the mountains in a
Speaker 13: place called Ramona.
Speaker 4: Now. Prior to that though, until the late eighties. Prior
Speaker 4: to that, though, I.
Speaker 13: Grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, So most of
Speaker 13: my life has been in Chicago, then San Diego, and
Speaker 13: now Bombay Beach. Here in southern California, about an hour
Speaker 13: southeast of an hour from Palm Springs and about an
Speaker 13: hour north of El Centro.
Speaker 4: Iffing to be out there and want to know we're
Speaker 4: about to wear.
Speaker 11: We're about to say GLDI misgive me grew up?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'll go nice. She up in the middle
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 11: What I've allays been drawn to the West, even though
Speaker 11: I haven't really been there. I mean I've been a
Speaker 11: Californian running, but I mean.
Speaker 2: The real West.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think everybody is, and especially if you know,
Speaker 13: obviously especially not being from the West, because you're you know,
Speaker 13: everybody knows. I mean when I was a kid growing
Speaker 13: up in Illinois and stuff. Everybody's heard, you know, knows
Speaker 13: from when they're a kid about, you know, the West,
Speaker 13: whether it's California, to go further west to Hawaii, and
Speaker 13: it's like, you know, everybody dreams of eventually going there someday,
Speaker 13: I would think, or me, not everybody, A lot of people,
Speaker 13: especially if there's somewhere where the weather isn't so mild,
Speaker 13: like the Midwest or like the Northeast. You know, especially
Speaker 13: in the middle of winter, maybe when there's three feet
Speaker 13: of snow on the ground and the roads are all
Speaker 13: aced up. You know, people are going to be thinking about, Man,
Speaker 13: I wish I could live move out west.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, it's the dream moving out to the
Speaker 1: salt and sea. It used to be a luxury resort town.
Speaker 2: Isn't that right, Ken?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's the thing, how much it changes.
Speaker 13: Yeah, there used to be yacht clubs and golf courses
Speaker 13: and all that, a lot of There were certain celebrities
Speaker 13: I think, like the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra are a
Speaker 13: few that come off the top of my head that
Speaker 13: I either belonged to yacht clubs out here and or
Speaker 13: had vacation homes out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: And then over the years, when the Sultan Sea got
Speaker 13: too salty and the algae blooms sucked up all the
Speaker 13: oxygens or combinations too, the fish.
Speaker 4: Starts down off.
Speaker 13: So these wants highly sought after resort in the middle
Speaker 13: of the desert.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was like a Palm Springer or in
Speaker 4: Las Vegas, but with.
Speaker 13: A big giant lake a year around boating and fishing,
Speaker 13: water skiing, all that. But anyways, imagine all of the
Speaker 13: sudden though, hundreds of millions, oh you know, millions of
Speaker 13: rotting fish washing ashore. And that's bad anytime you are
Speaker 13: but let alone, you know, when it's a hundred something
Speaker 13: degrees outside.
Speaker 4: There was that, And then, believe it or not, there
Speaker 4: were some hurricanes.
Speaker 13: That made it inland in the seventies and it seems
Speaker 13: like Ryan think about now.
Speaker 4: But what really killed the area.
Speaker 13: It was starting to go downhill with the fish stoves,
Speaker 13: but really killed it were these catastrophic floods.
Speaker 4: You know right now you would love to have more
Speaker 4: water out here in the seventies.
Speaker 13: That destroyed a lot of the resorts and the marinas
Speaker 13: and whatnot. And I think that was, you know, a
Speaker 13: huge final nail in the coffin for the area as
Speaker 13: the salt the old sultancy where it's luxury and all that.
Speaker 13: And then but yeah, for the longest time, until the
Speaker 13: late nineties, early two thousands, in Bombay Beach, the problem
Speaker 13: was there was too much water in the sultancy and
Speaker 13: they had to build this dyker levy around the town
Speaker 13: and that still stands today. It's it's totally worthless now
Speaker 13: because now the sultancy is drying up. There's not too much,
Speaker 13: you know, there's too little water. But yeah, it's it's fascinating.
Speaker 13: So when I first came here in two thousand and eight,
Speaker 13: it was to check out the abandoned billings and all that,
Speaker 13: and there wasn't match activity. There were still no plenty
Speaker 13: of people persevering. And you know, there's something about Bombay
Speaker 13: Beach they call it the Bombay Beach vortex. You either
Speaker 13: love it or you hate it, and a lot of
Speaker 13: people are pleasantly surprised. They come out and they're like, oh,
Speaker 13: some friends want to drag me out here.
Speaker 4: They want to go look at some.
Speaker 13: Abandoned buildings and some Decaine lake. But then they come
Speaker 13: out here and they start meeting some of the people
Speaker 13: and seeing it. And a lot of times even those naysayers,
Speaker 13: you know, go to like this where you know, other
Speaker 13: people just come out here and they go, oh, well
Speaker 13: it's hot. There's rundown buildings much like about this place.
Speaker 13: But yeah, you're love it or you hate it.
Speaker 3: I want to do Yeah, sorry, Kevin, I wanted to
Speaker 3: ask you a quick question. Yeah I got that, but
Speaker 3: I want to ask you a quick question. But also
Speaker 3: let uncle know that your international listeners are in Germany
Speaker 3: and Canada tonight according to the stream.
Speaker 4: But anyway, oh cool.
Speaker 3: The thing I wanted to ask you about, though, is
Speaker 3: I'm listening to this description, I'm thinking about it, and
Speaker 3: I'm m Northeast guy, and so was you know you
Speaker 3: talk about Sinatra?
Speaker 2: He was from New Jersey also.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Yeah, what cracks me up is though don't
Speaker 3: you have problems with water out there?
Speaker 5: Like drinking water?
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that an issue?
Speaker 4: You tell me that's the thing? Where?
Speaker 13: So now where I'm camping right out here on the beach,
Speaker 13: I'm I want to say, I'm probably a couple thousand
Speaker 13: feet from the town. Now, the town out here, despite
Speaker 13: being this very remote quarter mile square on a map,
Speaker 13: does does have city water, city sewer, and electric. Really, now,
Speaker 13: I don't have that out on the plout where I
Speaker 13: am too, So I once or twice a couple times
Speaker 13: a month, sometimes more often the summer. I have a
Speaker 13: fifty gallon water tank in the bed of my truck
Speaker 13: and I fill it up at a friend's house in town.
Speaker 13: And as far as emptying out the toilet, I do
Speaker 13: the same thing. I have a separate tank that I
Speaker 13: tow behind my truck. They call it a honeywagon in
Speaker 13: the RV community, but that's for basically pauling the.
Speaker 4: Shit away literally, I got you.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 4: Now, air conditioning, I have enough solar.
Speaker 13: I have so many solar pounds on air and some
Speaker 13: high capacity lithium batteries that I'm able to run my
Speaker 13: day nice and cool without having to have any without
Speaker 13: having to run a have any elect otherwise any electric.
Speaker 4: Service out here.
Speaker 2: Off the grid.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's always been the ultimate thing with solar, Like
Speaker 13: I mean, for years people on rbs have powered their lights,
Speaker 13: you know, or maybe their TV, or they charged their
Speaker 13: phones with solar. But what was the real game changers?
Speaker 13: Now we're in the day and age where it's becoming affordable,
Speaker 13: where it's not totally unaffordable to produce enough soda run
Speaker 13: your AC. The drawback issues. You've got to be someone
Speaker 13: that's not so much a nomad. But me, I've pretty
Speaker 13: much been staying put here in Bomby Beach. I have
Speaker 13: most of my solar pads on the ground. Although you
Speaker 13: can get enough solar to power AC for a reasonable price,
Speaker 13: now you can't fit that amount of panels on the
Speaker 13: roof of an RV.
Speaker 4: Yet, so like you need to settle it.
Speaker 13: So it's it's not practical for somebody that wants to
Speaker 13: hit the road and be in the desert when it's
Speaker 13: one hundred and ten out now. The thing is most
Speaker 13: people that are driving like a school bless what they
Speaker 13: call schoolies or a van this time of year, they
Speaker 13: go somewhere where the weather from other me I stay
Speaker 13: put and I figured out how the air condition my place.
Speaker 13: But a lot of those people they don't bother to
Speaker 13: come out here or you know, when it's that hot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's not peak season as they call it,
Speaker 1: is it.
Speaker 4: No, it will be.
Speaker 13: It'll be peak season starting around October and then going
Speaker 13: until around late April.
Speaker 4: It does, so you do know, yeah, oh yeah, a.
Speaker 2: Lot of people coming in for tourism.
Speaker 4: More and more. Yeah, oh, definitely more and more over there.
Speaker 4: It's like way more we doing, you know.
Speaker 13: And I will say, and I because I live down
Speaker 13: on the beach, you know, some people a lot, but
Speaker 13: like the majority of tours are very respectful, surprisingly respectful
Speaker 13: of the art installations. I feel like a lot of
Speaker 13: the art out here, if it were put almost anywhere ouse, sadly,
Speaker 13: people would have would heavily vandalize it.
Speaker 4: But I've noticed people here. There's a certain.
Speaker 13: Vibe to this place that people are here and they
Speaker 13: come here and they admire the art versus destroying it
Speaker 13: for the most part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, I'm sure we can credit that
Speaker 1: a lot to the media, social media and stuff.
Speaker 2: There's all these YouTube videos, all these tiktoks.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. Yeah, I mean my mind include it, but yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: So that's a good thing when you say that, like
Speaker 1: people are it's gaining interest.
Speaker 4: Because yeah, you like that. Oh it totally is. It
Speaker 4: totally is.
Speaker 13: And my thing is that that's a good thing because
Speaker 13: the more people find out about this place and then
Speaker 13: they see me and you know, they see my phones,
Speaker 13: but they also see in person how amazing the sunset's
Speaker 13: look and all that. The more people that can see
Speaker 13: the beauty of this place and then possibly see the potential,
Speaker 13: the more people are going to be on board with
Speaker 13: someday maybe restoring the Sultan Sea. Yeah, because otherwise, prior
Speaker 13: to social media, in the prior to recent years, most
Speaker 13: people either never heard of the Sultancy or if they did,
Speaker 13: it was some news article talking about it being a
Speaker 13: post apocalyptic ghost town next to a toxic lake, and
Speaker 13: people are like, why would they want to anybody to
Speaker 13: save that? But when people come out here and they
Speaker 13: just they see that the nice calm water and they
Speaker 13: see the amazing sunsets or sunrises, you know, it makes
Speaker 13: them more. You're gonna appreciate the beauty place to see
Speaker 13: the potential. Yeah, the point, the point.
Speaker 5: And you're saying the people and they go out there.
Speaker 6: The point I always say this, you got to go
Speaker 6: out to the areas to see it, then you'll believe it.
Speaker 6: Otherwise you're saying just saying. It's just saying that and
Speaker 6: this and that, this and that and and they gave
Speaker 6: it come out so what they know.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just my.
Speaker 2: Point is you don't see it to believe it's to
Speaker 2: see it.
Speaker 4: It is definitely got to believe it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that just it. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 1: Now, the town out there is Nyland, Is that right?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 13: Yeah, so the the town so Bobby Beach is it
Speaker 13: is kind of unofficially a town, but the million address
Speaker 13: is actually Niland and n Island.
Speaker 4: The main drag or downtown.
Speaker 13: For lack of aatic term, it's it's a small town, but.
Speaker 4: The main drag of is n Island. And I want
Speaker 4: to say that's.
Speaker 13: About about twelve cover thirteen miles south here on the highway.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But Bombay Beach our million, we're not.
Speaker 13: We're known as an unincorporated community of imperialal like Bombay
Speaker 13: Beach is what earlier is just what they call a
Speaker 13: census designated place.
Speaker 4: It's it's a neighborhood name, but it's it's not.
Speaker 13: What you would put on an official million address, although
Speaker 13: although a lot of people do put Bombay Beach on
Speaker 13: their million address and the post office delivers it. But technically,
Speaker 13: technically we're Nyland. Even though the community is called Bombay
Speaker 13: is not an independently incorporated town.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's I believe.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine if you had a cabin out there?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean whoa backing for two directions Kevin's I mean,
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 4: I love it out here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really worth I see all the videos that uncle,
Speaker 1: we got to make it out there.
Speaker 2: There's also crazy stuff slab city, right, Kevin.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, Sa Sea is pretty crazy, and then next
Speaker 13: to it is Salvation Mountain And what are.
Speaker 5: You gonna have do?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 5: I kick?
Speaker 2: Is this.
Speaker 5: Sank a plan to do what you're saying, to get
Speaker 5: out in these places and just go dump the day?
Speaker 5: What do we have to do today? While dropping it?
Speaker 5: And let's know, do them?
Speaker 4: I mean that's let me know if you want to
Speaker 4: meet up.
Speaker 13: Yeah, let me know a bit in advance though, because
Speaker 13: I'm not here. Well, yeah, I come back here every day,
Speaker 13: but there's some days where I'm away working in San
Speaker 13: Diego or break Springs.
Speaker 5: Well, we'll give you a ring, we'll give you a
Speaker 5: thing when we want to come up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker 13: Someday when I retire, I'll be out here twenty four
Speaker 13: to seven, which I mean I'm pretty booked.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're getting there. Huh, all right, that's I'm
Speaker 2: already I mean, yeah, but hard to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're already there now, and you're spending
Speaker 1: a bulk of your time, so.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I am.
Speaker 6: I could see you and him getting to get Kim
Speaker 6: and you getting to get it because you'd be like
Speaker 6: a pay it something like that to go to desert people.
Speaker 5: Oh hey, we got to know people let them go.
Speaker 13: You got so many chases out here, like you've probably
Speaker 13: seen in my videos, like the mud volcanoes and all
Speaker 13: the suddens up in.
Speaker 4: That guyser where they had to move the highway.
Speaker 15: And yeah, I gotta go back look at you. I
Speaker 15: gotta look at his other stuff and tick tack now,
Speaker 15: but I know.
Speaker 1: That creative accidents. The leader of our street team, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: He sent us a link to a video that was
Speaker 1: made in early two thousands and it was out there
Speaker 1: in the Chocolate Mountains at the bombing.
Speaker 4: Range and oh nice. It's been a while I think
Speaker 4: I've mean that, but yeah.
Speaker 2: I forget.
Speaker 1: It's called like pickers or something that they're going in
Speaker 1: looking for scrap metal on the actual bombing range that
Speaker 1: they drive.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah. So for those who don't know there's
Speaker 13: a there's a and it's still active. It's still actively used,
Speaker 13: not all, not every day and every night, but there is, yeah,
Speaker 13: a bombing range that's just several miles down the highway
Speaker 13: and a little bit north here, and.
Speaker 4: It's called the Chocolate Mountains.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 13: I did a funny take on that in my one
Speaker 13: of my videos. I go, you know, one time I
Speaker 13: went to the Chocolate Mountains, and I think it's false
Speaker 13: advertising because the dirt doesn't taste like chocolate.
Speaker 4: I think they're called that because.
Speaker 13: When you're when I especially at sunset, when I'm out
Speaker 13: in my boat and that light hitting the mountains, it
Speaker 13: looks like, you know, everything from milk chocolate, the dark chocolate.
Speaker 4: The mountains are definitely chocolate colored.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, especially yeah. Beving on Clueens once and we
Speaker 5: went to see uh well, uh fire coming out of
Speaker 5: the mountains. Oh well, oh yeah a volcano. Yeah, volcano,
Speaker 5: a volcano flying all over the place. So we went
Speaker 5: to visit and went to see.
Speaker 4: That and it was all plot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man coming down and that was a chocolate mountain too.
Speaker 2: They just didn't caught.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, very cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was a good documentary. That was crazy.
Speaker 1: I hope people are still picking the metal out of there,
Speaker 1: but they were.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: The documentary also was getting into how Nyland is the
Speaker 1: income level very low there, so people are just.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a well the county in general is one
Speaker 13: of the poorest counties in California.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is a Bluish county, one of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh mine is I uh I when I got resigned,
Speaker 6: I'm dying from county wook. I was doing counties, oh
Speaker 6: nineteen years of it.
Speaker 2: That was in Florida, that was in London.
Speaker 5: But it's counties.
Speaker 2: I wonder if the county work is out like out there. Yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: there much county work going on.
Speaker 13: Well, a lot of the the biggest industry out here
Speaker 13: is still agriculture, and the reason why people wonder why
Speaker 13: they grow crops in the desert. But it's because there
Speaker 13: there's a multiple growing seasons. You can't be growing crops
Speaker 13: in the Midwest or the East coast in general when
Speaker 13: it's wintertime, but out here there is no you know,
Speaker 13: true winter time or not like it is in most
Speaker 13: parts of the world.
Speaker 2: And now, what about are there now or will there
Speaker 2: be lithium minds?
Speaker 1: I heard talk of the.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so it's been talked about a lot. So what
Speaker 13: it is is there's tons and tons of I forgot
Speaker 13: the number even remotely what it is, but there's basically
Speaker 13: a shit ton of lithium that's not a technical term
Speaker 13: obviously beneath the surface here, but it's not in the
Speaker 13: way you think it is. It's basically mixed in with
Speaker 13: the brine and it's and it's not what it is.
Speaker 13: It's thousands of feet below the surface. It's mixed in
Speaker 13: with the brine. And somebody years ago invented a technology
Speaker 13: to filter the lithium out of that. But the reason
Speaker 13: why they haven't started doing that and they've only been
Speaker 13: talking about it as it's not really all that cost
Speaker 13: effective yet that basically the amount of effort they have
Speaker 13: to put into extracting the lithium is only slightly less
Speaker 13: cost slightly less money and what they can sell the
Speaker 13: liftum for, so once they can improve that technology, they'll
Speaker 13: be going full speed ahead.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I know that's I've been reading about that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's the mean, and the media keeps talking about it,
Speaker 13: but you know, it hasn't really happened on any meaningful
Speaker 13: scale yet.
Speaker 4: But that's can be the tipping.
Speaker 13: But either either the price of the price of lithium
Speaker 13: has to go back up or the cost to extract it,
Speaker 13: which is I'm not sure exactly how the process works,
Speaker 13: but basically it's some fancy filter and it filters the
Speaker 13: liftium out of this salt water and then they can
Speaker 13: process the lithium make barriers. But right now it costs
Speaker 13: almost as much to filter it as what they can
Speaker 13: sell it for, so it doesn't make sense yet to
Speaker 13: the different Once they can get either the price of
Speaker 13: lifting goes up or the cost to filter it out
Speaker 13: goes down, then then will be doing large scale lithium.
Speaker 13: Based on everything I heard, though, people that visit there
Speaker 13: will barely even know what's going on. You're the way
Speaker 13: they're taking this lithium out is not a traditional fore mine.
Speaker 4: So there's not going to be.
Speaker 13: Using bulldozer bulldozers and they're going to be carving up
Speaker 13: the landscape and destroying the environment. They're not going to
Speaker 13: do that, if what I've heard is true. So this
Speaker 13: lit them is more of a lit them extraction there
Speaker 13: filtering it out of water deep beneath the ground. So
Speaker 13: it's a really interesting way of mining. Those people think
Speaker 13: mining and they think, oh, they're gonna they're gonna dig
Speaker 13: all these big holes in the ground, they're going to
Speaker 13: drain the salt and sea and they're.
Speaker 4: Gonna carve it all up. Yeah, it's more just liftingum.
Speaker 13: Mining is more they're filtering it for lack of a
Speaker 13: better term, they're they're separating in it. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 13: really fascinating process.
Speaker 1: I first heard it, I thought it was traditional mining,
Speaker 1: like going to mountains.
Speaker 13: No, it's about as much like traditional mining as bitcoin
Speaker 13: mining is. And if you compare that to mining gold
Speaker 13: or lead or copper. Yeah, and so people hear the
Speaker 13: term mining and most of the time yet means they're
Speaker 13: coming in, they're boring into a mountain, or they're digging
Speaker 13: into the ground.
Speaker 4: But that's not what they're doing in this case, so
Speaker 4: it's really fascinating.
Speaker 5: You're a fisherman, right o, Kevin.
Speaker 4: No, I've never been big on fishing.
Speaker 13: I take the boat out just for the vibes, just
Speaker 13: being out there at sunset.
Speaker 2: I try.
Speaker 13: I fished, you know, like every kid. I went fishing
Speaker 13: im as a kid, but never had much luck. And
Speaker 13: maybe I wasn't patient enough for my father would say, well,
Speaker 13: you know that most of the time my bait was
Speaker 13: in the air than it was in the water because
Speaker 13: I would like put the hook in and I'd get
Speaker 13: too impatient, no fish biting, so I'd take it out
Speaker 13: and check to make sure the bait was okay. And
Speaker 13: like apparently when I went fishing, that hook spent more
Speaker 13: time out of the water than in the water.
Speaker 4: So you know, who knows.
Speaker 13: But no, like I have the boat just because I
Speaker 13: like to. I just like the cruise around for my boat.
Speaker 4: For the front of it.
Speaker 2: Oh, how big of a lake is it? Is it?
Speaker 2: How far it's about?
Speaker 13: I mean, it's shrinking, but it's still around thirty something
Speaker 13: miles by around I want to say, twelve to fifteen miles.
Speaker 13: It's still a big lake. Wow, it's shrinking, but it
Speaker 13: for a while it's still gonna be a huge lake.
Speaker 13: That's really interesting. Yeah, this huge lake. And then and
Speaker 13: then of course it's salty. It's actually more salty than
Speaker 13: the ocean.
Speaker 5: Now salt is the is the beach. But now that
Speaker 5: you said that, now it's going to go to the
Speaker 5: yellow direction.
Speaker 13: It sounds it's gonna know, as the salt and sea
Speaker 13: dries up, it's getting more and more salt. Here the salt,
Speaker 13: the water evaporates with the salt sticks behind.
Speaker 6: So doesn't the water have to connect to the salt
Speaker 6: So the last no, So how it got salty here
Speaker 6: is this was an ancient salt pit.
Speaker 13: In fact, before the salt and sea was formed. The
Speaker 13: salt and sea was formed by accident when a canal
Speaker 13: sprung a leak and they couldn't stop it. But this
Speaker 13: area was already salt pits and there were active salt
Speaker 13: mines in the area.
Speaker 4: So that's how it got.
Speaker 13: The water gets salty as the salt was already there
Speaker 13: and the water just mixed with the salt. I mean,
Speaker 13: in modern times the salt and sea has never been
Speaker 13: has in modern times the salt sea, as the salt
Speaker 13: sea was never connected to the ocean there are there's
Speaker 13: evidence of an ancient lake, lake Lake Kowia that was
Speaker 13: much bigger than the salt and sea.
Speaker 4: Though being in this area. But you know that was
Speaker 4: a good zillion years ago.
Speaker 6: You know, this has been the first time I heard
Speaker 6: something other than the beach was salty.
Speaker 4: Came the beach is salty.
Speaker 13: But yeah, the water is the water is more salty
Speaker 13: than the oce. I mean, some people have said three times,
Speaker 13: but I don't know if that's true, but it's it's
Speaker 13: definitely far saltier than the ocean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm shot.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I've noticed that. So I go swimming it
Speaker 13: from now and then, and it is it is a
Speaker 13: lot easier to float. And there's a debate on a
Speaker 13: lot of people think the lake is highly toxic.
Speaker 4: But it's.
Speaker 13: Last I heard, and this was about a year and
Speaker 13: a half ago from a state park ranger. The sultancy.
Speaker 13: Now this was a year and a half ago. They
Speaker 13: may have things may change.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Is generally the sultancy is safe to
Speaker 4: swim in.
Speaker 13: As long as you avoid when there's what they call
Speaker 13: a harmful algae bloom, which is a massive algae bloom
Speaker 13: and it's festering with back here and all that. That's
Speaker 13: when you wouldn't want to go into sultancy. But when
Speaker 13: there's an algaebil like that, you can see it with
Speaker 13: your eyes.
Speaker 4: If you see this.
Speaker 13: Green slime on the water, you know that tells you
Speaker 13: you don't need You don't need to be a scientist
Speaker 13: to know. I probably shouldn't go swimming this, But most
Speaker 13: of the time, based on what I have been told,
Speaker 13: the sultancya is still generally safe to swim in. You
Speaker 13: don't want to let pets in there because dogs, you know,
Speaker 13: you don't want to drink the water.
Speaker 4: But we wouldn't drink saltwater. But they said you got
Speaker 4: to be careful with pets though.
Speaker 1: Sometimes because Okay, Kevin, we have something very important happening here.
Speaker 1: Uncle is getting a very special what's going on?
Speaker 6: Uncle?
Speaker 4: We've guess?
Speaker 5: Oh, shoot, here she goes with this hot coffee.
Speaker 4: Crap?
Speaker 2: What's going.
Speaker 5: I told him? I want something cold?
Speaker 4: This is not.
Speaker 1: What is that hot decaf coffee? Okay, we have a
Speaker 1: hot We have a hot decaf coffee for Uncle.
Speaker 2: You gotta drink it on that What is this?
Speaker 5: Yeah, piss it off. I don't want to pizs it
Speaker 5: off for not drinking decap now drinking it.
Speaker 1: But it's hot, right, yes, maybe yeah, if we get
Speaker 1: ic in the coffee, Uncle will drink it.
Speaker 5: I will drink it if it's cold.
Speaker 2: There we go okay, well, okay, well okay.
Speaker 5: Well thank you, thank you, thank you. Anyway, we appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Kevin, sorry about that, brother.
Speaker 6: What was we had a conversation today about this hot
Speaker 6: You never drink a hot.
Speaker 5: Cup of coffee.
Speaker 2: Drink ice coolfully.
Speaker 6: And she comes in here right now a point to
Speaker 6: have a point said, I said, I told you I'm
Speaker 6: gonna look at it, leave it, leave it away, get
Speaker 6: it out of here.
Speaker 1: And I was told, then, Kevin, have your hot coffee,
Speaker 1: yes you.
Speaker 4: No, I don't.
Speaker 13: I don't like hot coffee. All have cold coffee, like lattes.
Speaker 4: And things like that, but I've never liked hot coffee.
Speaker 13: One I usually drink and I drink energy drinks. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 13: we all drink. We get all drinks the fancy. So
Speaker 13: there's a cafe in town that's we call it be Back.
Speaker 13: It's Bombay Beach Arturing Culture. It's closed for the summer,
Speaker 13: but yeah, they make some amazing coffee. I never have
Speaker 13: my coffee hot, but I'll have the lattes. Drink yeah, chocolate,
Speaker 13: think of you just hit it, But no, I never
Speaker 13: I've never drank black tape hot coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they drink.
Speaker 5: Sugar free Lata, sugar free, mont drink, not hot not.
Speaker 4: That's the old drink today. And you just said, yeah,
Speaker 4: I just I don't ever drink hot coffee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could have planned this this way if.
Speaker 6: We should have had, If she'd want to make a
Speaker 6: a cold, cold one, I probably drink it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, ice cover would be good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting toward the end of the show here,
Speaker 1: so let's make sure, okay, cool, Let's make sure that
Speaker 1: everybody knows where to find Kellen here.
Speaker 13: We TikTok and YouTube, and I'm also on Flicker. Somebody
Speaker 13: is a more old school photographer, they would know about Flicker,
Speaker 13: but most of your listeners are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll get to that one. That's all. I c
Speaker 4: k R.
Speaker 13: It's been around long before Facebook. We'll quick k r
Speaker 13: without the eye, and it was a photo sharing.
Speaker 4: Site like long before Facebook and those others. But I'm
Speaker 4: most active now.
Speaker 13: Like I said, I got banned from Facebook and Instagram,
Speaker 13: so I'm most active on TikTok and YouTube.
Speaker 2: Okay, quickly, so what's up? Shocking? Sorry, but really.
Speaker 3: Quickly, just because of the late start and then we
Speaker 3: had the little problem with the connection through the video. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you've actually got a few extra minutes here, so I
Speaker 3: know the clock would normally be but you have time, so.
Speaker 2: You know, use it as you like.
Speaker 13: Yeah, maybe what about five more minutes or so, because
Speaker 13: I'm about ready to be done after that?
Speaker 4: For another I can go for another five minutes or so. Though,
Speaker 4: there you go. If we got any other colors or
Speaker 4: either you have any questions, ask away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well let's se Jimmy still on hold. Let's take
Speaker 3: a look over at the paone lines real fast. And
Speaker 3: we haven't taken another.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just Jimmy's.
Speaker 5: One, by the way, we haven't even talked to them.
Speaker 2: We haven't talked to the Maybe what did do the
Speaker 2: next show? You'll have to do it on the next show, because.
Speaker 6: I had somebody came in and he's been accustomed to
Speaker 6: us and he just gave us a no.
Speaker 5: We do have yeah, and I might get to it
Speaker 5: next week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been a very exciting show.
Speaker 5: It's been in the.
Speaker 2: Show and I would say.
Speaker 1: So if people go on TikTok and then they just
Speaker 1: type in your name Kevin Key, will they find you.
Speaker 4: If they google it? They should? Otherwise it's s l
Speaker 4: W or K I n G.
Speaker 2: Okay, mmmm, we'll put the link to that on Yeah.
Speaker 13: I just I just put the link in there, and
Speaker 13: then on mine and the YouTube is is the same
Speaker 13: user name, but with the number two on it.
Speaker 4: I had created a YouTube account of wild.
Speaker 13: Back and then somehow way back when I lost the
Speaker 13: password or something and I'm like, well, fuck it, I'll
Speaker 13: create a new one. And but so that's why on
Speaker 13: my YouTube there's the number two after my name.
Speaker 2: Just that's why I see very cool.
Speaker 13: The original one without the two was me, but I
