Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of The
Speaker 1: Cajun Night Live.
Speaker 2: I am your host.
Speaker 1: The Cajun Night Jacob muk I'm gonna give y'all a
Speaker 1: little bit of a rundown here. We're starting off in
Speaker 1: the good old us of A. We got some things
Speaker 1: going on, some natural disasters in certain places. We got
Speaker 1: some governmental things happening in other places, some big bill
Speaker 1: spending that's about to go down. You know, they just
Speaker 1: approved a nine hundred billion dollar defense contract, which you
Speaker 1: know our budget, I should say, which, all right, all
Speaker 1: good things, all good things. We're gonna shift over slightly
Speaker 1: to Venezuela, just for a touch, just for a touch.
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna go over to talk about how Iraq
Speaker 1: is now making a deal with Exxon Mobile and asking
Speaker 1: them to come seize their oil fields from a Russian company,
Speaker 1: which I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't have
Speaker 1: that on my Bengo card for this year, but here
Speaker 1: we are. We're gonna shift over to talk about some
Speaker 1: China and some things. You're gonna be talking about England,
Speaker 1: how they have their own grassroots movement to stop the
Speaker 1: migrants from coming over, in which I again, didn't know
Speaker 1: that that was a thing that's happening, but hey, good
Speaker 1: on them. We're gonna talk about Japan. They also have
Speaker 1: some natural disaster things on top of having some beef
Speaker 1: with China currently. Yeah, we're all we're gonna go all
Speaker 1: over the place as we do. You know how it
Speaker 1: goes here on the cagu Night. But before we get started,
Speaker 1: I do need to go ahead and give the shameless
Speaker 1: plug for any of the listeners to The Cajun Night
Speaker 1: that would like to be a part of this conversation.
Speaker 1: Every Wednesday night at nine pm Central, please go to
Speaker 1: the link in the description below and conjoin us at
Speaker 1: the Cage Night on patreonh there's only once here for entry.
Speaker 1: We're just trying to get this to be its own
Speaker 1: endemic thing where we grow and we share information. We
Speaker 1: talk about the goings and comings of the day today
Speaker 1: operations here, and we all stay up to date on
Speaker 1: what's happening. So, without further ado, I'm gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: and share the screen at this time once again. Also,
Speaker 1: the only place to see what we are talking about,
Speaker 1: rather than just hear about it, would be to go
Speaker 1: to patreon dot com slash Cajun so we're gonna start
Speaker 1: off talking about something that actually I'm not gonna say affects.
Speaker 2: The whole world, but something that at least.
Speaker 1: The entire world might find interesting before we start pulling
Speaker 1: into the political and then this country and that country
Speaker 1: and whatever else. Everybody on Earth, for the most part,
Speaker 1: has heard of the three i at Lis situation.
Speaker 2: I saw video today. This dude on the tickettks.
Speaker 1: Right was saying that apparently they fired a high beam
Speaker 1: propulsion photon. He used a lot of big words to
Speaker 1: make it sound like they shot three eye at lists
Speaker 1: with a laser cannon from a telescope, and that's what
Speaker 1: burned out the James Webb telescope. They can't use it anymore. This,
Speaker 1: that and the third and when they did they captured.
Speaker 1: They didn't shoot it's like damage it for the record.
Speaker 1: They shot it to get readings of the substances that
Speaker 1: it was made of or whatever, allegedly super allegedly because
Speaker 1: the rest of his claim makes no goddamn sit So basically,
Speaker 1: he's saying that when they shot it with this photon
Speaker 1: to get these readings, they watched as three objects shot
Speaker 1: out of the sides of.
Speaker 2: This thing, and they seemed to have their own propulsion.
Speaker 1: Systems, and so as I was like, wow, that's pretty crazy,
Speaker 1: and these like NASA just released to talk about it,
Speaker 1: and they didn't know NASA has released nothing of the
Speaker 1: sort when I looked into the James Webb telescope that
Speaker 1: went out of commission in twenty twenty one from debris
Speaker 1: getting into the lens. So that if you've seen these
Speaker 1: tiktoks that are going around about all these people talking
Speaker 1: about three iye at lists, and I've even seen some
Speaker 1: people saying that they've they've been channeling three iye at
Speaker 1: lists in their meditations and they just know that it's
Speaker 1: this or that or the other, like listen, listen, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not trying to be rude to these people, right,
Speaker 1: they are human beings and some of the most human beings. Ever,
Speaker 1: some might say, but when it comes to three i
Speaker 1: at lists, we actually have some new data that has
Speaker 1: come up, and they believe that it has the chemical
Speaker 1: makeups to potentially hold life. What I mean by that
Speaker 1: is it has some methane, it's got some frozen water,
Speaker 1: it's got some carbon, it's got some things to where
Speaker 1: potentially in the right mixtures, with these types of materials,
Speaker 1: perhaps there could be some sort of life that could
Speaker 1: be sustained or started or whatever from this from this meteor,
Speaker 1: which is pretty insane to see all of these types
Speaker 1: of chemical compounds on the same craft, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say craft on the same object in space that
Speaker 1: in and of itself is really really cool to me.
Speaker 1: But that got me thinking, So, you know, what is
Speaker 1: the latest update on the Old three. I you know,
Speaker 1: we heard about it making its way around the Earth.
Speaker 1: It had just gone around the Sun. It supposedly slingshot
Speaker 1: itself around it, and that's the last we heard. I
Speaker 1: had heard that they had lost sight of it. I
Speaker 1: had heard that it's on the other side of the Sun.
Speaker 1: It's making its.
Speaker 2: Way back soon.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, so I decided to go to tech
Speaker 1: stock Squared, which didn't I've never heard of this website,
Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you, I actually do enjoy it.
Speaker 2: NASA's Interstellar Comet three.
Speaker 1: I at new images, life, ingredients, and what comes next
Speaker 1: after the December fly by. I didn't even know when
Speaker 1: the date was whenever it was going to be like
Speaker 1: the best time to see it, but apparently that day
Speaker 1: is still coming. So let's get into it here. As
Speaker 1: of December twelfth, twenty twenty five, NASA and partner observatories
Speaker 1: are racing to squeeze every last photon out of the
Speaker 1: interstellar comic three iye at Liss, a green glowing ice
Speaker 1: volcano blasting visitor loaded with the chemical ingredients for life,
Speaker 1: quote unquote. Here's the latest on what we've learned and
Speaker 1: what to watch in the days ahead. So what is
Speaker 1: three I at lists? Why is this such a big deal?
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this briefly before, but we're still
Speaker 1: gonna touch on some of these key points here. Okay.
Speaker 1: Three I atlist is also categorized as see twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five in uh in one. At Lis is the only
Speaker 1: the third confirmed object ever seen passing through our Solar
Speaker 1: System from another star system, after the Amuamua and the
Speaker 1: Borisov right that was in twenty seventeen and twenty nineteen, respectively.
Speaker 1: It was discovered on July first, twenty twenty five by
Speaker 1: the NASA funded at LIST, which is the Asteroid Terrestrial
Speaker 1: Impact Lay Last Alert System telescope in Chile, part of
Speaker 1: the agency's Planetary Defense Sky Survey Network. So here's the
Speaker 1: key facts from NASA and ESA interstellar origin. Its path
Speaker 1: through space is a hyperbolic trajectory. It's moving too fast
Speaker 1: to be gravitationally bound to the Sun, so it's just
Speaker 1: passing through and will never return. Okay, fun things now,
Speaker 1: The size the Hubble data suggests it's solid, a solid
Speaker 1: nucleus somewhere between around four hundred and forty meters and
Speaker 1: five point six kilometers across. That's kind of a wide
Speaker 1: gap there. We got four hundred and forty meters and
Speaker 1: or five point six kilometers, but okay, a modest comet
Speaker 1: by Solar System standards, but enormous compared to with most
Speaker 1: of the human made spacecraft. The speed it has also
Speaker 1: been kind of a crazy point of contention because depending
Speaker 1: on who you ask, and by who I mean which
Speaker 1: quote unquote official scientific source, They've come back with all
Speaker 1: kinds of different answers on speed. So it raced into
Speaker 1: the Solar System, the Inner Solar System at one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty seven mile thousand miles per hour one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty seven thousand miles per hour and hit one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three thousand miles per hour near its
Speaker 1: closest point to the Sun, So it was like speeding
Speaker 1: up as it got closer to the Sun. And they
Speaker 1: say allegedly that it should speed up as it goes
Speaker 1: away from the Sun. And I've heard some reasons for
Speaker 1: this because once all the frozen materials heat up and
Speaker 1: go into a gaseous state as it rounds around the Sun,
Speaker 1: that's gonna use that almost like a jet propulsion, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna zip off, which we'll see as it's getting
Speaker 1: closer to the Earth.
Speaker 2: They might get a better scale on the speed it's going.
Speaker 1: Now that's made its way around safe distance three i
Speaker 1: atlts will come no closer to Earth than about one
Speaker 1: point eight astronomical units roughly one hundred and seventy million miles.
Speaker 2: That's the closest gonna get.
Speaker 1: So I know that even I who I didn't know
Speaker 1: much about it, but there was a lot of speculation
Speaker 1: to say that it's going to hit us. Then there
Speaker 1: was a lot of speculation to say that it had
Speaker 1: intelligent steering something or some creature or some whatever was
Speaker 1: controlling this thing, almost like it was a spacecraft. So
Speaker 1: of this moment it does not appear to be the case.
Speaker 1: Who knows. As it makes its way around the Sun.
Speaker 1: It might absolutely stop off at Earth and say what's up.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that, but I can't rule it out
Speaker 1: because there's really not much known about this thing.
Speaker 2: But anyway, we're gonna learn more together here.
Speaker 1: So it's saying it's not going to get any closer
Speaker 1: than about one hundred and seventy million miles from the
Speaker 1: Earth and on December nineteenth, twenty twenty five. Okay, as
Speaker 1: of Tom recording, that is in nine days, almost twice
Speaker 1: the Earth Sun distance. That is the closest it's going
Speaker 1: to get to us in nine days. So for any
Speaker 1: of you amateur astronomers out there that happened to have
Speaker 1: a decently you know, powered telescope, perhaps you will be
Speaker 1: able to see it in the night sky on December nineteenth.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe not.
Speaker 1: Maybe because of your position on the Earth, it will
Speaker 1: be out of reach for you. I don't know, but hey,
Speaker 1: I hope that we got some good cult members and
Speaker 1: contingents of the Night's retinue here that might be able
Speaker 1: to get some decent picks for US nation boycott. I
Speaker 1: see your hand raised earlier, brother, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Hey, can you guys hear me?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Brother, all right, So we're just talking about the coronal
Speaker 4: mass ejections, right, the solar flares.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming I miss missed some of it.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're just talking about three eye at lists basically,
Speaker 1: and how whenever it goes around the Sun the same
Speaker 1: way that a lot of asteroids, and like the Uamua
Speaker 1: and the Broersov, we made its way around the Sun,
Speaker 1: the ice was evaporating off of it. That expansion, that
Speaker 1: evaporation actually helped propulsion it away from the Sun. So
Speaker 1: it almost seemed like it took off faster once it
Speaker 1: made its way around the Sun. And I'm expecting three
Speaker 1: Iye to do something similar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a lot of weird stuff going on,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 4: We we with the coronal mass ejections, the solar flares
Speaker 4: coming towards us, and then and and I haven't got
Speaker 4: this sort of conspiracy. Uh, I haven't got to really
Speaker 4: look at it. I just just seen ran across all
Speaker 4: across Twitter. But somebody posted before the the Venezuela, we
Speaker 4: just we just seized the Venezuelan tanker, right, somebody posted.
Speaker 3: Like a couple of days for that.
Speaker 4: If the ancient royal lines are still in power, the
Speaker 4: first move against uh.
Speaker 3: Venezuela will happen.
Speaker 4: During a CME, and then the CI happened coronal mass ejection.
Speaker 4: Of Solar said, if the ancient blood lines are still
Speaker 4: in power, the first move against Venezuela will happen during
Speaker 4: a coronal mass ejection. Well guess what happened during a
Speaker 4: coronal mass ejection?
Speaker 2: Okay, we are talking about Venezuela.
Speaker 3: Bo you.
Speaker 1: We are going to be talking about that tanker with
Speaker 1: Venezuela here in a bit. And also the Nobel Peace
Speaker 1: Prize that was awarded that they are not talking about
Speaker 1: in Venezuela because it's a part of the opposition. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I haven't heard anything about the royal bloodlines and
Speaker 1: if they're still in control, then that would I haven't
Speaker 1: heard that that would lead to that. That's like a
Speaker 1: causation thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, perhaps I gotta look into it more.
Speaker 4: But I just thought it was interesting that it seemed
Speaker 4: like the guy preempted this thing with that line, you know,
Speaker 4: like he posted on Twitter like a couple of days
Speaker 4: before this happened.
Speaker 3: So it's wild.
Speaker 1: DC has said that there will be land strikes that
Speaker 1: will be coming soon if things don't change.
Speaker 2: As far as Venezuela's concerned.
Speaker 1: As of now, it's been on the boats, the Narco
Speaker 1: boats and things like that, and people were giving Hegseth
Speaker 1: all kinds of shit because the heat double tapped them essentially,
Speaker 1: which they're saying that there they were unarmed civilians at
Speaker 1: that time, so why would he double tap them, And
Speaker 1: it's like that's not accurate at all. Osama bin Lauden
Speaker 1: was unarmed when he got I got that doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if they are combatants and they're listed as a terrorist
Speaker 1: group then whether they have a weapon in their hands
Speaker 1: or not, especially in c because now we're getting into
Speaker 1: sea warfare rather than land based warfare. The laws of
Speaker 1: warfare do change whether you're on the water or on land.
Speaker 1: There are still Geneva conventions that play in, but there's
Speaker 1: some very distinct differences. And uh yeah, everybody was trying
Speaker 1: to fry Hegseth for that, and it's like, well, that's
Speaker 1: just simply not going to go anywhere, and lo and
Speaker 1: behold it didn't. So yeah, we're gonna get to Venezuela
Speaker 1: here in just a bit. We're gonna talk about three
Speaker 1: i AT lists, and we're gonna talk about some things
Speaker 1: going on in the us of A. Then we're gonna
Speaker 1: briefly get into Venezuela, the Tanker, the Nobel Peace Prize,
Speaker 1: the things and the.
Speaker 2: Stuff Sam before I get back to this article. I
Speaker 2: see your hand raised.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man?
Speaker 5: Just heads up.
Speaker 6: I want to apologize for being late, and I found
Speaker 6: a book for you for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Okay, no problem with you being late, brother, You know
Speaker 1: we're here, you know the times, and it's all good.
Speaker 1: At you a little late or you got to cut
Speaker 1: out a little early.
Speaker 2: It is what it is. But now I'm curious. What
Speaker 2: is this book?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 5: Astrophysics for people in a hurry?
Speaker 2: Astrophysics?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, cool, cool, because.
Speaker 6: You're you're a knowledgeable person and it so that you
Speaker 6: have the science and everything to go at about that.
Speaker 5: Hey wait, you want to talk about flat Earth.
Speaker 6: Well, here's the fucking of physics on why that doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I try explaining physics to the flatter of community.
Speaker 1: And then it goes in only one of a couple
Speaker 1: of directions. One is, oh, we're using math taught to
Speaker 1: you by the rock Fellow system of education.
Speaker 2: How can you trust that?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, Or I mean, it goes into how
Speaker 1: I don't know physics because I've never done a college
Speaker 1: course on physics, and it's like, well, neither have you,
Speaker 1: but okay, and when you when you go against the
Speaker 1: flat earth or in any kind of real debate, they
Speaker 1: try using legal speak to like make their case that's right,
Speaker 1: but it's like not real legal ease. It's basically their
Speaker 1: own version of it where they're saying, okay, if it
Speaker 1: doesn't if it works on a round model and a
Speaker 1: flat model, we can't use it. And they're like they
Speaker 1: give you like rules for the debate before you start,
Speaker 1: and it's like, sure, okay, anyway, breakdown works.
Speaker 6: They're trying to chair you picking in massed monster mass
Speaker 6: this shit to work, but it don't work like that.
Speaker 1: And dude, it's also crazy because I've said this a
Speaker 1: million times. I've seen it be proven true so many times.
Speaker 1: If you get five flat earthers in the same room,
Speaker 1: they will have five completely different and oftentimes conflicting opinions
Speaker 1: on how it all works. Some go off the dinner
Speaker 1: plate model, some go off the snow globe model. Some
Speaker 1: say the space is completely faked, some say space is
Speaker 1: completely real. So it's some say it's all some sort
Speaker 1: of a matrix theory. It's they try blending these things
Speaker 1: and because they can agree on like three points out
Speaker 1: of one hundred, they see themselves as like kindred spirits.
Speaker 1: And it's that's insane to me.
Speaker 6: But sure, okay, the snow globe theory kind of makes
Speaker 6: sense somewhat. I'm not saying one on flat Earth, but
Speaker 6: I like the funmament. I could totally see us in
Speaker 6: a snow globe in like one of God's, like Garager's
Speaker 6: and all. But it's funny you talked about the the
Speaker 6: like a standard language like math, Math is the the
Speaker 6: language of the universe. And that's not just me being biased,
Speaker 6: because I am who I am, but I'm terrible at math.
Speaker 6: But even I know that, Hey, you put this math,
Speaker 6: you two plus two equals for whether it's an English, Chinese, Japanese,
Speaker 6: or Iranian or whatever.
Speaker 5: They speak over their Sanskrit.
Speaker 1: Algebra, Algebra is algebra, regardless of what language the teacher
Speaker 1: is speaking. Calculus is Calculus is calculus, Geometry is geometry.
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 6: But oh, before I forget, you know the show you sorry,
Speaker 6: the creator he died the creator of yougo, died as
Speaker 6: a hero unaware he saw that a woman and a
Speaker 6: child in a US soldier get took out to it
Speaker 6: by ripped current like at a beach or something. He
Speaker 6: dove into six foot water like the waves or whatever,
Speaker 6: and he like he had his smokel suit and everything on.
Speaker 6: But they the soldier and he tried to help them,
Speaker 6: but he got ripped out to the current and everything.
Speaker 6: But the kid, wife, the kid, the mother and the
Speaker 6: soldier they survived.
Speaker 5: But they found his body two days later, still with
Speaker 5: his h this equipment and everything.
Speaker 2: This is super random. Was this recent?
Speaker 5: I just found out about it today.
Speaker 1: Okay, because we are going to be talking about the
Speaker 1: floods that Japan is experiencing right now because of the earthquake,
Speaker 1: so that is something we are going to bring up later.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if this happened relatively recently or
Speaker 2: if that's an old one.
Speaker 5: But okay, I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 6: It just popped up on my page today and it
Speaker 6: made me sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look it up. Look it up, and when we
Speaker 1: get to Japan, bring that up again. I'm curious when
Speaker 1: that took place, because if it was recent, then like hell,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it anyway, all right. So getting back
Speaker 1: to three I at lists all right. So this is
Speaker 1: a fast tour through the inner Solar System, and only
Speaker 1: a few months three iatlass has threaded its way past
Speaker 1: several planets on a steeply tilted retrograde path close to
Speaker 1: aligned with the plane of our Solar system. July one,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five discovery by of Atlas in Chile early
Speaker 1: observatory Jesus early observation show a faint active object inbound
Speaker 1: from the direction of Sagittarius towards the Milky Way central region.
Speaker 2: That was July first, October third of this year.
Speaker 1: It passes about zero point one nine Au, which is
Speaker 1: about twenty nine million kilometers from Mars. ESA's Mars Express
Speaker 1: and Exo Mars Trace gas orbiters collect crucial images and spectra,
Speaker 1: helping refine its trajectory by a factor of ten Okay.
Speaker 2: October twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: Just a few weeks later, sweeps just inside Mars's orbit
Speaker 1: about one point three six Au from the Sun, while
Speaker 1: almost directly behind the Sun from Earth's point of view,
Speaker 1: invisible to ground based telescopes but tracked by spacecraft like
Speaker 1: SOHO Punch and stereo. November twenty twenty five, Atlas emerges
Speaker 1: from the Solar Conjunction into the dawn sky. ESA's Juice
Speaker 1: spacecraft near the inner Solar System in NASA's Heliophysics or Yeah,
Speaker 1: Heliophysics mission capture views of its developing trails. Now, this
Speaker 1: is getting into the future a little bit here. December
Speaker 1: nineteenth the closest approach to Earth at one point eight AU,
Speaker 1: which we talked about that distance early. It's about one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy miles on the far side of the Sun.
Speaker 1: After that, it will climb out through the outer Solar System,
Speaker 1: passing about point three six AU from Jupiter in March
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six before disappearing back into interstellar space. Okay,
Speaker 1: so hopefully, like I said, we get a decent a
Speaker 1: decent look at it, you know.
Speaker 2: For backyard observers.
Speaker 1: Three eye Atlas has always been a telescope only object,
Speaker 1: even around perihelion. Okay. It peaked around a magnitude of
Speaker 1: nine to eleven and has already faded around magnitude eleven
Speaker 1: to twelve by early December, far too dim for the
Speaker 1: naked eye, but a reachable smudge in medium sized amateur
Speaker 1: instruments under dark skies.
Speaker 2: So okay, very awesome.
Speaker 1: So again we're not going to read the whole article
Speaker 1: about it, but I did want to talk about this one.
Speaker 1: Here today's headline, the comment is spewing key ingredients for life.
Speaker 1: This I found interesting. The biggest breaking story on December
Speaker 1: tenth today as a time of recording is chemical. A
Speaker 1: NASA lead team using the Attakarna Large Millimeter Submillimeter Array
Speaker 1: or ALMA in Chile has announced that three I atlas
Speaker 1: is unusually rich in methanol and hydrogen cyanide, molecules that
Speaker 1: play important roles in prebiotic chemistry. Okay, so now methanol bonanza.
Speaker 1: Methanol appears to make up about eight percent of all
Speaker 1: vapor streaming off the comet, roughly four times higher than
Speaker 1: typical solar system commets. Now that's interesting. And for those
Speaker 1: that don't know what methanol is, it is basically liquid
Speaker 1: natural gas O case, so methane gas that has been
Speaker 1: compressed down to its liquid state.
Speaker 2: We would call that methanol.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I used to work at
Speaker 1: a methanex plant in Geysmer, and that's what they do.
Speaker 1: They make methanol, and a lot of Asian countries are
Speaker 1: using that as a fuel additive instead of like what
Speaker 1: we call in the state's ethanol, which is made from
Speaker 1: like corn alcohol. They're using methanol in a lot of
Speaker 1: Asian countries, which I wish we would use that. It
Speaker 1: burns cleaner, it doesn't gum up you know, components and
Speaker 1: things like that. But beside the point now, hydrogen cyanide HCM,
Speaker 1: the common is also unusually abundant in hydrogen cyanide, a
Speaker 1: molecule that can participate in pathways that build amino acids
Speaker 1: and nucleo bases.
Speaker 2: In labbage experiments.
Speaker 1: Complex internal chemistry, methanoll appears both in icy nucleus and
Speaker 1: in the extended comma, implying active chemistry inside the comet
Speaker 1: as and in the gas flowing off of it. So
Speaker 1: some outlets have framed this as the comet quote unquote
Speaker 1: releasing the ingredients for life, echoing long standing ideas that
Speaker 1: the comet may seed young planets with organic molecules and water. Crucially,
Speaker 1: NASA and the researchers are not claiming that three iatlist
Speaker 1: carries life itself, only that it's unusually rich in chemical
Speaker 1: feedstock that under the right planetary conditions, could contribute to
Speaker 1: life's recipe. So I thought that was cool, honestly. And
Speaker 1: then they have this thing about the ice volcano. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what that was about, but let's check it here.
Speaker 1: It says if three iatlists had a personality, it would
Speaker 1: be dramatic. Okay. Over the past few months, astronomers have
Speaker 1: watched it turn bright green, sprout multiple tales, including a
Speaker 1: strange anti tail, which is very odd. Usually as something
Speaker 1: is zooming through the sky, the tail is behind it.
Speaker 1: The tail has been behind it, yes, but it also
Speaker 1: sprouted a tail going out in front of it, which
Speaker 1: is mind blowing to me. But okay. It has undergone
Speaker 1: a sharp and sustained brightened brightening near the sun, also
Speaker 1: very unusual, and it shows signs of global cryovolcanism. It
Speaker 1: shows signs of global ice volcanoes. I I have no
Speaker 1: idea what that's about. Let's see here, ice volcanoes and
Speaker 1: the naked surface. A new wave of research suggests that
Speaker 1: the comet surface may be erupting with cryovolcanoes, jets of
Speaker 1: volatile ices blasting into space as subsurface pockets heat up.
Speaker 1: A preprint led by Joseppe Trigo Rodriguez Trio, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how they pronounce it in his country. By Josep.
Speaker 1: Rodriguez and colleagues, supported the by Live Science and other outlets,
Speaker 1: describe spiral jets structures in a global surgeon activity consistent
Speaker 1: with ice rich cryovolcanic eruptions. Cool analysis is, analyses, analysises
Speaker 1: multiple analysis indicate that, unlike most long period comments from
Speaker 1: our own ort cloud, three eye at lists may lack
Speaker 1: a thick insulating dust mantle, allowing large regions of its
Speaker 1: surface to switch on at once as it warms.
Speaker 2: That's dope.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna play into anything for
Speaker 1: us on Earth, But to say that there's a comet
Speaker 1: that has got ice volcanoes going on, I think that's cool.
Speaker 1: I just think that's cool as hell anyway. All right,
Speaker 1: enough of the three eye at lists talk. If you're
Speaker 1: out there and you have some sort of a decent telescope,
Speaker 1: hopefully on December.
Speaker 2: Nineteenth you'll be able to get a good look at it.
Speaker 1: If not, I'm sure an assah will hook us up
Speaker 1: with the images as expected, but I would be very
Speaker 1: curious if any hell, even your like local observatory.
Speaker 2: We have one out too far from the house, and
Speaker 2: I might have to clear my.
Speaker 1: Caleander for the nineteenth to see if I could go
Speaker 1: in and check it out. I guarantee those observatory nerds
Speaker 1: are gonna have it zoomed in as best they can.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: We'll see again.
Speaker 1: Maybe in Louisiana we won't have a clear view of it.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's only clear for like certain spots on Earth.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. All right, Now, we are
Speaker 1: going to talk about the Washington State floods that are
Speaker 1: going on here. Record flooding threatens Washington governor declares state
Speaker 1: wide emergency. Residents packed up valuables and prepared to flee
Speaker 1: rising rivers in western Washington State Wednesday, as a new
Speaker 1: wave of heavy rains swept into our region, still reeling
Speaker 1: from a storm that triggered rescues and road closures a
Speaker 1: day earlier. Yeah, Washington is just getting smacked right now.
Speaker 1: In the Pacific Northwest, an atmospheric river was swelling rivers.
Speaker 1: An atmospheric river was swelling rivers towards record levels. All right, fine,
Speaker 1: with major flooding expected in some areas, including the Saggot River,
Speaker 1: in a major agricultural north of Seattle. Dozens of vehicles
Speaker 1: are backed up at a sand bag filling station in
Speaker 1: the town of Mount Vernon, as authorities warned all residents
Speaker 1: who live within the river's floodplain to be ready to evacuate.
Speaker 1: There is a direct quote from Mount Vernon Mayor Peter Donovan.
Speaker 1: We're preparing for what increasingly appears to be a worst
Speaker 1: case scenario here in the Mount ray Neer foothills southeast
Speaker 1: of Seattle. Pierce County Sheriff's deputies rescued people at an
Speaker 1: RV park in Ording, including helping one man in a
Speaker 1: Santa Hat way through waste deep waters. Part of the
Speaker 1: town was ordered to evacuate over concerns about the poyl
Speaker 1: Up poyol Up. Yeah, sure that river extremely high levels
Speaker 1: and its upstream levees. Washington Governor Bob Ferguson declared a
Speaker 1: statewide emergency Wednesday. Wives will be at stake in the
Speaker 1: coming days. He said. It's time to pay attention, said
Speaker 1: Gent Welsh, Adjutant General of the Washington National Guard. Hundreds
Speaker 1: of Washington National Guard members will be sent to help communities.
Speaker 1: Welsh said, talking about how this river could break records.
Speaker 1: The Saggot River is expected to cress at roughly forty
Speaker 1: seven feet in the mountain town of Concrete early Thursday
Speaker 1: and roughly forty one feet in Mount Vernon early Friday morning.
Speaker 1: Those are both quote unquote records, setting forecasts by several feet.
Speaker 1: Saga County officials said. Mount Vernon the largest city in
Speaker 1: the county with some thirty five thousand residents. Compel completed
Speaker 1: a wall in twenty eighteen that helps protect the downtown
Speaker 1: from flooding. But the city, parts of which are in
Speaker 1: the floodplain, including commercial areas, are on high alert with
Speaker 1: a flood, and with a flood of this magnitude that's
Speaker 1: predicted here in the next couple of days, I'm concerned
Speaker 1: about all of our buildings in the city in the floodplain. Again,
Speaker 1: that's from Donovan, the mayor. Harrison Rodmacher, a meteorologist with
Speaker 1: the Weather Service in Seattle, described the atmospheric river soaking
Speaker 1: the region as quote a jet stream of moisture end quote,
Speaker 1: stretching across the Pacific Ocean, with the nozzle pushing right
Speaker 1: along the coast of Oregon and Washington.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: So we already talked about how some of these cities
Speaker 1: are responding to this flood and they are expecting it
Speaker 1: to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
Speaker 1: For any of our good listeners that are out there
Speaker 1: in the Upper Pacific Northwest, our thoughts and prayers are
Speaker 1: with you, and for the love of God, get out
Speaker 1: of the floodplain while you still can, because it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like it's going to be stopping for a good bit.
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on to the next topic of discussion here,
Speaker 1: we're going to the Hill for this article. Here, the
Speaker 1: House overwhelmingly passes a nine hundred billion dollar annual defense bill.
Speaker 1: Nine hundred billion annually on our defense. Now I understand
Speaker 1: that I'm a bit biased here. You can tell by
Speaker 1: the kevlar behind me and by me mentioning it a
Speaker 1: good bit that I am, in fact a Marine Corps veteran.
Speaker 1: I like that America spends so much in our defense budget.
Speaker 1: I understand that this is the source contingent for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. I understand that we are so far
Speaker 1: ahead of all of our would be competitors that we
Speaker 1: could take a break and we could stop. As far
Speaker 1: as that's concerned, we don't have to keep throwing money
Speaker 1: into the military industrial complex. And we don't have to
Speaker 1: do as much funding of this because no country on
Speaker 1: Earth could stand up against us, nor would they want to.
Speaker 1: But we're very, very far ahead on the pretty much
Speaker 1: every conceivable metric. I get this, I do. But you know,
Speaker 1: this reminds me of a monologue by Christopher Walkin. Right.
Speaker 1: He was talking about how there was a lion in
Speaker 1: the savannah, and you know, it was so hot. He
Speaker 1: lays up under a tree for a little bit and
Speaker 1: his little lion cub comes up and starts messing with him,
Speaker 1: chewing on his ears, pulling his tail whatever. The lion
Speaker 1: doesn't really worry about it, right, He's the king of
Speaker 1: the jungle. What's this little lion cub really trying to
Speaker 1: do anything? Right? Then the lion s comes making trouble,
Speaker 1: pulling out his tail, giving him a hard time. He
Speaker 1: does nothing, but the other animals within the jungle observe
Speaker 1: this next thing. You know, the actual enemies start to
Speaker 1: circle in, the hyenas, the jackals, right, and they keep
Speaker 1: going and going and messing with them and messing with
Speaker 1: them until one day the line gets up and tears
Speaker 1: the shit out of every living creature around him, because
Speaker 1: every now and then the lion has to stand up
Speaker 1: and remind people who he is. Now here's the deal.
Speaker 1: I don't want America to have to do that. I
Speaker 1: don't particularly care for that option. I would much rather
Speaker 1: us stay at the top and remind people that we
Speaker 1: are at the top, so that we don't have to
Speaker 1: tear the shit out of everyone that. It doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like that would be very beneficial to everybody.
Speaker 2: Right With that being.
Speaker 1: Said, nine hundred billion dollars as an annual defense bill.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are gonna say that sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot. A lot of people are gonna say that
Speaker 1: sounds like too much. I don't know if I necessarily agree.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't really justify that. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a very justifiable expense to me as of this moment.
Speaker 1: Before I get into the article here, Sam must see
Speaker 1: your hand raised, brother, what you got?
Speaker 6: I think we need to We need to boost those numbers,
Speaker 6: those Wi rookie numbers.
Speaker 5: We need at least two point five trillion.
Speaker 1: Shit. I don't know of many countries that even come
Speaker 1: close to this level of spending. I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I know some people are out there that
Speaker 1: do it, but uh, it's more like where's that money
Speaker 1: actually going kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Even for us. Let's be clear.
Speaker 5: I understand that.
Speaker 6: But look, all I'm saying is it's better to have
Speaker 6: a blunderbus as a backup of a backup and then
Speaker 6: not having anything but a pocketknize you more training, more
Speaker 6: more specialized.
Speaker 1: I hear that, But it's not like, even if we
Speaker 1: were to cut our military spending for a whole fiscal year,
Speaker 1: we're not going out there with pocketized. We are still
Speaker 1: the best equipped, the best trained, like by far on
Speaker 1: mass to the numbers that we have in our military
Speaker 1: military force on Earth, that's not even a close comparison.
Speaker 5: Like put enough R and D and throw enough money
Speaker 5: into it where we can have a minuionaire armored Spartan
Speaker 5: two program.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm on. And I do like the
Speaker 1: fact that this bill was passed by partisan This was
Speaker 1: easily passed by both sides, which I found to be
Speaker 1: very very nice. Honestly, Nation boycott go ahead, sir, Hey,
Speaker 1: So yeah.
Speaker 4: Unfortunate thing about that budget is most of it goes
Speaker 4: to like the big defense contractors that are overly bloated,
Speaker 4: and most of that money gets wasted at the CEO level,
Speaker 4: sure executive level, and all of our money and like
Speaker 4: stuff we're developing now goes to like extremely expensive complex systems.
Speaker 4: So like a lot of that some of that budget
Speaker 4: goes into the new gerald board class aircraft carriers we're
Speaker 4: building that costs billions of dollars. Right, China just announced
Speaker 4: it's known now that they can produce hypersonic missiles for
Speaker 4: one hundred grand, So they can produce hypersonic missiles for
Speaker 4: less than what some Ford F one fifties costs. Right,
Speaker 4: they produce one hundred hypersonic missiles, what is that ten
Speaker 4: million dollars?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: But also look at what their class as a hypersonic missile, right,
Speaker 1: the same thing that Russia they classify it as if
Speaker 1: it goes past so fast in the speed barrier and
Speaker 1: all these things. By their metrics, we have had America
Speaker 1: has had hypersonic missiles since nineteen forty eight. By the
Speaker 1: metrics that China and Russia are touting as like a
Speaker 1: massive victory right now.
Speaker 4: Right, I think these ones specifically are like seven, like
Speaker 4: Max seven, like Max seven and a half, And.
Speaker 2: That's impressive, But.
Speaker 8: There's alarm.
Speaker 4: There's actually alarms going inside the Pentagon right now because
Speaker 4: they're running wargames and like nine times out of ten
Speaker 4: we lose to China in these wargames because the aircraft
Speaker 4: carriers are sitting ducks when they do these wargames. All
Speaker 4: of our aircraft carriers get taken out by China in
Speaker 4: the first week.
Speaker 1: Have you looked at the metrics that are being used
Speaker 1: for those war games also.
Speaker 8: I've looked into the metrics. I just know that it's
Speaker 8: coming from the Pentagon.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's that's accurate. That's accurate.
Speaker 1: But what I will say is I have done a
Speaker 1: very very deep dive into the amount of wargames that
Speaker 1: we run in this country, and they go because we
Speaker 1: are so dominant in so many areas, we have to
Speaker 1: nerve ourselves to even make it somewhat of a fair fight.
Speaker 1: They're assuming that they're able to even touch our aircraft carriers,
Speaker 1: and so like, for the wargame principle, we pretty much
Speaker 1: write those off as a loss right off the rip
Speaker 1: and see what we would have to do for that
Speaker 1: point onward. Because of the amount of ordinance that is
Speaker 1: with the aircraft carrier and the strike group as a whole.
Speaker 1: I don't actually believe that those even hypersonics will be
Speaker 1: able to touch not just our aircraft carriers, but like
Speaker 1: any of our naval fleets. And then that's also they
Speaker 1: would have to completely take out other ass that we
Speaker 1: have in and around the Asian continent. Right, they're taking
Speaker 1: out the entire Midway base, They're nerfing the Hawaiian Naval
Speaker 1: station right off the rip, and they have to do
Speaker 1: this to try to make it somewhat of a one
Speaker 1: to one comparison. It's not pretty. And honestly, even if
Speaker 1: it was China, there's no way for them to get
Speaker 1: their troops here to do a ground based attack on us.
Speaker 1: And there's not really many good options for US to
Speaker 1: get our troops to China for a ground based attack either.
Speaker 4: So it's you know, I agree, but it is kind
Speaker 4: of scary with the coalition forming, you know, the anti
Speaker 4: you know West coalition, and then China is making moves
Speaker 4: towards us, you know, essentially our think about America's military, right,
Speaker 4: Our military was built to basically police the world. China's
Speaker 4: military is built for one fucking reason, only defeat the
Speaker 4: United States, Right, pretty much. And there I was just
Speaker 4: for another article. They are there is a island.
Speaker 8: It's the closest island Japan or too Guam. It was
Speaker 8: a Chinese.
Speaker 4: Chinese took it over I believe from Japan during the
Speaker 4: war or something. But they are rehabilitating an airstrip right now.
Speaker 4: It's the closest island, Tubuamp So it's scared.
Speaker 8: In my background, I'm Navy in the maybe for eight
Speaker 8: years aviation.
Speaker 4: Still work for one of the big three defense contractors
Speaker 4: in a secret role.
Speaker 1: So there you go. You know, most people that work
Speaker 1: in the wing side, they most I will say, and
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on the specialty that you did
Speaker 1: within the wing we'll find themselves working for Boeing or
Speaker 1: Lockey Martin or whatever. One of my buddies who is
Speaker 1: a Marine who worked on helicopters and shit, there's not
Speaker 1: much call for helicopter mechanics in the civilian sector. There
Speaker 1: are some like hospitals have these helicopters and things like that,
Speaker 1: or you can go work for Boeing and they pay
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, I can't argue with your
Speaker 1: logic on this one. So it makes sense that you
Speaker 1: would work for one of the Big Three as of
Speaker 1: this moment, of course. I you know, I'm not asking
Speaker 1: you to name which one for you know, security reasons
Speaker 1: and op second shit.
Speaker 2: But but okay, so you were in from what year
Speaker 2: to what year?
Speaker 8: Uh, twenty fourteen to twenty two?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, you joined when I was getting out, Damn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I joined.
Speaker 8: I was twenty five when I joined. I joined late.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck, you got a late start, damn.
Speaker 4: Which was good because I definitely would have got kicked
Speaker 4: out if I had joined right out of high school.
Speaker 2: There there's pros and cons. There's pros and cons.
Speaker 4: I did a lot of stuff in between high school
Speaker 4: and going in the Navy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then it also sucked because most of the
Speaker 1: people that were like bitching you out and telling you
Speaker 1: what to do, you were like, bro, I was you
Speaker 1: were in middle school when I was fucking around, Like
Speaker 1: calm down, like watch your tone, kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, but you know, you kind of just
Speaker 4: gotta just just shut up. I was smart enough to
Speaker 4: know just shut up. Nut'erre told, And uh I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 8: I mean, I went.
Speaker 4: I went in as an E three and I was
Speaker 4: in E six in my first four and a half
Speaker 4: half years, so.
Speaker 1: I moved up Coole Wick I was, And now I
Speaker 1: don't know how that works in the Navy side of things,
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps, that's that's unheard of, right to unless
Speaker 1: you're in some sort of a super specialty MOS where
Speaker 1: they advance quickly and they have the budget for and
Speaker 1: whatever else. I was a grunt and in the Marine
Speaker 1: Corps we don't get funding, and the grunts are the
Speaker 1: largest groups, so it's harder to advance. But in the
Speaker 1: in the Army, you I've heard of these stories of
Speaker 1: guys that like got staff sergeant or E six in
Speaker 1: their first enlistment and shit like this. But that makes
Speaker 1: sense because the Army gets a bunch of funding. Same
Speaker 1: with the Air Force. I don't know how that works
Speaker 1: in the Navy. Is that considered like insane that you
Speaker 1: jumped up that quick in your first floor or was
Speaker 1: that like a lot of your peers were close.
Speaker 4: It's pretty like average of like eight to ten years
Speaker 4: to make it to six, okay, because there's there's an
Speaker 4: evil process, so you get evled every year and you
Speaker 4: get ranked and that goes to a certain number of
Speaker 4: points kind of like how like marinees you quall with
Speaker 4: like your rifle quall, Right, you get so many points,
Speaker 4: it goes towards your advancement.
Speaker 8: Yeah, then we have to take a test.
Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all do tests and ship for each rank.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, we had to take a test for like it's
Speaker 4: overall navy knowledge and then uh specialty like in our
Speaker 4: job knowledge.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And when I made when I made E six, the
Speaker 4: advancement rate was six percent, So I was like, I
Speaker 4: was they out of, Like, yeah, it was.
Speaker 8: Six percent advancement rate.
Speaker 4: So but I cut the highest score like for the
Speaker 4: test when I made it, So now I was the
Speaker 4: score that they that they graded everybody.
Speaker 8: Else off of. So that felt kind of nice.
Speaker 1: Brue not to get to in your business here. But
Speaker 1: if you made E six in your first four and
Speaker 1: you served eight, brother, why didn't you go chief? It
Speaker 1: seemed like you were shoeing for that position if you
Speaker 1: would have gone that route. And from my own experience,
Speaker 1: I've heard it set a million times, and I'll be
Speaker 1: goddamned if it ain't true. The admirals can do what
Speaker 1: they want. The chiefs run the fucking navy like hands down.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is. It's the good Old Boys Club. But
Speaker 8: it was just too toxic. Man. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 8: You know, my mental health had enough, so I left.
Speaker 4: I left seventy disability and uh, you know stuff I
Speaker 4: can't get back.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I hear that too.
Speaker 2: And good for you for getting that.
Speaker 1: High rating, bro.
Speaker 8: Thanks man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where were you stationed at.
Speaker 4: Uh, Pax River or well the Tuxent River, Maryland. It's
Speaker 4: a southeast of d C. Yeah, I know it about
Speaker 4: two years and then with the island Washington. Actually you
Speaker 4: were talking about the Washington flooding. I lived in that area.
Speaker 4: That's the the Stadgiet River. That's what it's called.
Speaker 8: Saggot Stadiet s k a g I t scadget.
Speaker 1: Stadget my bad n I get people commenting that I
Speaker 1: can't pronounce shit, and it's like.
Speaker 4: It's not dude up there, man, like the Puget Sound
Speaker 4: and it's spelt like pu Ghent.
Speaker 8: It's just fucking stupid.
Speaker 1: I mean. And I'm a little in Louisiana, so we
Speaker 1: have weird pronunciations for cities and shit, so I get it.
Speaker 1: But also I know my version of the American English.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got their own ship. But yeah, people people be
Speaker 1: feeling some type of way about me mispronouncing their homework turf.
Speaker 1: You know, I do them a best but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now I'm in the terrible, great, terrible state
Speaker 4: of southern California and the Mahabi deserts.
Speaker 1: No, dude, they're working by the stumps.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I live in the mountains. It's a drive to work.
Speaker 8: The mountains are great. The desert sucks.
Speaker 1: Heard that.
Speaker 2: I will say. As far as being you're so, you're
Speaker 2: around twenty nine Palms or.
Speaker 4: No, okay, between Palmdale and Edwards Air Force Base around there.
Speaker 1: Got you okay? I was gonna say the one benefit
Speaker 1: to being around the stumps is that you're like a
Speaker 1: road trip from a lot of fun shit. You know,
Speaker 1: you're like two hours out of Vegas, two hours out
Speaker 1: of other parts of California. It's you know, where you're
Speaker 1: at sucks, but you're close enough to get out there
Speaker 1: and do some damage when you want to on a
Speaker 1: fun weekend.
Speaker 4: So for your age, about four hours LA is too.
Speaker 4: There's off roading all over the placers, hiking. It's not
Speaker 4: too bad.
Speaker 8: It's just expensive as shit, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard it used to be that way.
Speaker 1: It used to be like that was I want to say,
Speaker 1: the slums behind a mean but it wasn't expensive to
Speaker 1: live out in that area. But God, in the last
Speaker 1: fifteen years, I've heard horror stories of what it costs
Speaker 1: to live in that area. So, yeah, thank God you
Speaker 1: got on with a good contracting company. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Anyway?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Fortunately, everything I get is God's.
Speaker 1: Grace, absolutely absolutely, Sam, your hand is raised what you got.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So you were talking about how you pronounce things,
Speaker 6: definitely a lot like how I do. How do y'all?
Speaker 6: How do you? Your people in your neck and woods
Speaker 6: pronounced Slafayette.
Speaker 1: Laughayette laugh yet huh it's actually called laughy for short. Yes,
Speaker 1: I hear you raven in my neck of the woods.
Speaker 1: You're from Oregon, Raven. So in your neck of the woods,
Speaker 1: y'all pronounce it over the fuck y'all want. But here
Speaker 1: we pronounce it Laughayette. Yeah, and I know that's incorrect.
Speaker 1: We have a talent just right by us. It's spelled Gonzalez,
Speaker 1: but everybody around here pronounces it Gonzales.
Speaker 8: Again.
Speaker 5: So I'm from Georgia, it's Lafayette.
Speaker 6: But I've because I like THEE and everything, and I
Speaker 6: try to do the funch plight in school?
Speaker 5: It they'd Lafayette.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's named after the great Admiral Lafayette. Like yeah,
Speaker 1: the correct way to pronounce it per French is Lafayette
Speaker 1: cajun French, that would be Lafayette. So yeah, people are
Speaker 1: doing that.
Speaker 5: Thank you for the hooked on phonics.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm actually gonna I'm gonna take a
Speaker 1: side teagent here. We're gonna look something up, and I
Speaker 1: would love to hear everybody's interpretation of how to pronounce this.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5: An accent?
Speaker 8: Are you gonna do it?
Speaker 2: Chaff live no, this word right here?
Speaker 1: If everybody on screen could just take a turn guessing
Speaker 1: how to pronounce this word. If you're from Louisiana, you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to answer, so hold on, hold on, So Sam,
Speaker 1: how would you pronounce this?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Nation?
Speaker 8: Boycott take a whirl, Nachioch.
Speaker 1: Okay, Claire, you're not allowed. Raven, you're not allowed. Kyle,
Speaker 1: how would you pronounce this word? Sir? I can't actually

Speaker 9: Nat, I've stopped there at the McDonald's by the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So just everybody's clear.
Speaker 1: That's pronounced naked ish bullshit, that is nakedish louis in
Speaker 1: and there's actually songs called Naketish blues.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite times.
Speaker 1: I'd add now there is a Natchitocious Texas that is
Speaker 1: just on the other side of the Yeah, where's the sky?
Speaker 1: Oh god, right, Royce, you're in here too, damn it.
Speaker 1: I clicked through and I didn't see you.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, just everybody's clear as far as like stupid
Speaker 1: pronunciations that make no sense in my neck of the woods. Listen,
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2: That's one that you know what, I'm gonna pull up.
Speaker 1: Another one as we're on this, there's a street in
Speaker 1: New Orleans that if you know how to pronounce it,
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 7: On it makes no sense before you even pull it up.
Speaker 7: I know what you're gonna pull up, and it makes
Speaker 7: no goddamn sense.
Speaker 1: Oh you already know.
Speaker 6: Where I'm going with you call Stallbucks Stallby's.
Speaker 7: It's Starbb's.
Speaker 4: First off, Michigan's just as bad. Most of the out
Speaker 4: of their cities are named after Indian tribes.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, yeah, right here, this this where this starts
Speaker 1: with the tea this t street, Sam, go ahead and
Speaker 1: take a crack at how you would pronounce this.
Speaker 5: Can you please zoom that in putty? Please?
Speaker 1: I shall, sir, I shall hold on.
Speaker 5: Let me get my thinking cap on.
Speaker 1: You go for its, okay, Royce, take a crack at it.
Speaker 8: Let's go with cho Pitalis.
Speaker 2: All right, all right?
Speaker 4: Nation Boycott must say uh japedis okay?
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 1: Raven and Claire, y'all can't, Kyle, you can't read that
Speaker 1: in their mind. I'm sorry, Tony, take a crack at it.
Speaker 1: You might know because you come in now Louisiana a
Speaker 1: good bits damn okay, that would be Choppatoulis Street. Yeah again.
Speaker 6: What's up with the combination of both funch and Joe.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, that is a mixture of Spanish French,
Speaker 1: English and Native and Creole.
Speaker 2: It's it's not supposed to happen.
Speaker 1: Yo, Haitian Creole and Cajun French are completely different than
Speaker 1: France French. For the record, Creole French and Cajun French
Speaker 1: are too different. That's that's not even like saying a
Speaker 1: Spain to Mexico comparison. This is completely different languages as
Speaker 1: a whole.
Speaker 6: They both the illegitimate bastards children of the French.
Speaker 1: You would think, you would think. Although I will say
Speaker 1: that French French French speakers can understand at least portions
Speaker 1: of Cajun French. They can't understand fuck from Haiti, like not.
Speaker 1: Even Creole French is a whole whole different thing. But yeah, Royce,
Speaker 1: you'll see your hand brother. Sorry, Sam, go ahead.
Speaker 6: The it's kind of really cool about if you look
Speaker 6: at the etymology of languages and how the the how
Speaker 6: they evolved in everything. Oh, I think I sent you
Speaker 6: the video of a linguistic expert and how she talks
Speaker 6: about how the different uh accents of like the southern
Speaker 6: and up or the like the weather, the first thirteen
Speaker 6: colonies were and everything, which also New Orleans was the
Speaker 6: French's attempt. Louisiana was the French attempt of a penal colony.
Speaker 1: Just learned that myself, just learned that myself, I had
Speaker 1: heard about the coffin girls. I grew up and I
Speaker 1: had heard about the coffin girls that came here, right,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that it was a penal colony.
Speaker 2: And that's how Louisiana was basically like habited.
Speaker 6: Thieves and like the undesirables, which they would say, hey.
Speaker 5: You wanna you don't want to be in prison.
Speaker 6: Fine, cool, So you're gonna get married, You're gonna marry
Speaker 6: a prostitute, and you're gonna fuck off to Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of them weren't prostitutes.
Speaker 1: A lot of them were just women that were undeclared
Speaker 1: and seen as just they weren't married or had any
Speaker 1: kind of real prospects. Nobody was trying to engage them
Speaker 1: or anything like this. So basically, if you were like
Speaker 1: if you were, essentially they were suitorless, poorer women from
Speaker 1: Paris that got picked up and said, well, it looks
Speaker 1: like you're a prostitute and she's like, I am not,
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, you're going to the great wide world.
Speaker 2: Of New Orleans and you're going to start a new
Speaker 2: life there.
Speaker 1: Here's your husband, which honestly ties into why Louisiana and
Speaker 1: divorce has such a checkered history. We'll say that although no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: just like people getting married and then getting divorced like
Speaker 1: relatively quickly, even though Louisiana is an extremely Catholic state
Speaker 1: as far as the culture goes in Louisiana, like, divorce
Speaker 1: isn't like a crazy thing for us, even though we're
Speaker 1: predominantly Catholic.
Speaker 2: It's it's been a thing literally since the foundation.
Speaker 6: I thought divorce was not okay in Catholicism.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: But again, when you're talking about people that were forced
Speaker 1: to get married, which was the dregs of society with
Speaker 1: potential prostitutes, they get to Louisiana and they immediately can't
Speaker 1: stand each other, so they split.
Speaker 2: It just kind of was what it was.
Speaker 1: The French didn't care as long as they had French
Speaker 1: inhabitants in Louisiana. Who cares what the paperwork said, who's
Speaker 1: with who they got there, so they were fine.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's uh. There are certain cultural.
Speaker 1: Things that do stem all the way back to the
Speaker 1: inception of Louisiana. And then when I found out that
Speaker 1: it was a penal colony, I'm like, you know, they.
Speaker 5: Failed as a penal colony.
Speaker 6: That's why the Britain, that's why Australia actually flourished and
Speaker 6: everything because of the British actually treated it as a
Speaker 6: colony and didn't just like here you go play with
Speaker 6: a wildlife and hope you don't get killed.
Speaker 1: And then if you also look at it when it
Speaker 1: was a penal colony that was still under the French royalty.
Speaker 1: When Napoleon took over, a lot of the royalty decrees
Speaker 1: went out the window and so they were pretty much
Speaker 1: left to their own devices.
Speaker 5: And he sold Louisiana to America.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he sold to Thomas Jefferson, which.
Speaker 6: He said, I want this Louisiana. Tom Jefferson was like,
Speaker 6: what's Louisiana? He says, that's what you to find out, buddy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Fun things. Then Lewis and Clark made their appearance. But anyway,
Speaker 1: weird side tangents Nation Boycott. I saw you had your
Speaker 1: hand raised. I don't know if you changed your mind
Speaker 1: on the topic or what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally changed my mind. It was just iought
Speaker 4: was interesting. How uh, some like a lot of frontier
Speaker 4: like settling happens from criminals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the way that they told the criminals about
Speaker 1: the place. They made it sound like it was just
Speaker 1: this land of opportunity, all this fertile farmland. You're just
Speaker 1: gonna go there and have the best life ever. And
Speaker 1: while that was true at the time, they left out
Speaker 1: the part that it's a by you. It is a swamp.
Speaker 1: The mosquitoes are so thick that you're gonna be breathing
Speaker 1: them in half the time, and you're gonna be forced
Speaker 1: to make it work with no way of escaping, and
Speaker 1: all these things. It just you know, that rose colored
Speaker 1: pedestal and shit Royce, go ahead.
Speaker 10: Brother, alright, So just one thing on words. So in
Speaker 10: the chat I put s a G U, A c
Speaker 10: h G. Okay, as far as far as fun words
Speaker 10: to pronounce.
Speaker 1: Let me try to pull this one up.
Speaker 2: Oh lord, we got a couple of weird ones in here.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Let's see. Let's see, uh saguatch.
Speaker 3: The G is silence.
Speaker 8: It's to watch.
Speaker 2: The G is silent, of course it is.
Speaker 10: Don't I mean you're don't have the heart hert G
Speaker 10: and gmatri soft g gypsy apparently zero G in to
Speaker 10: watch you took.
Speaker 1: The word out of my mouth. I was literally about
Speaker 1: to make a hard and solvet G jokes. Okay, to watch,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 5: How is a G? But it makes a W explain.
Speaker 1: No idea that supposed to be.
Speaker 8: I mean, I imagine probably a native.
Speaker 10: Okay, because believe that Colorado has a decent amount of
Speaker 10: native population. I didn't know there was actually at least
Speaker 10: one reservation in Colorado.
Speaker 8: It's huge.
Speaker 1: Damn. I kind fair enough.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so so watch.
Speaker 2: And then uh nation boycott.
Speaker 1: I would think that that would be Macinac, although I'm
Speaker 1: sure I am butchering that.
Speaker 8: So yeah, this is actually a W. Which one Macanaw?
Speaker 2: Oh god, I thought the first one. I'm about to say.
Speaker 4: Mall Quada, famous island up in Michigan. We got Macinaw Island.
Speaker 4: We got the key one of peninsula. It's not spelled
Speaker 4: like key. We got to kwamanon Falls. Try saying that
Speaker 4: and spelling that. It's crazy to Quamanah. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And then uh Tony put in, I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 1: I would think that would be like Eureka, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's incorrect as well.
Speaker 9: Nope, it's why Rika, Whykak. It's near Eureka, California, but
Speaker 9: it's pronounced why Rika.
Speaker 2: That that's great so near Eureka.
Speaker 1: You got why Rika, and it's spelled it's not spelled phonetically,
Speaker 1: but it's also not not spell phonetically.
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, it's like that one.
Speaker 1: Chick I met. Her name was La Dasha l a
Speaker 1: dash a like not the word dash, like an actual
Speaker 1: dash because you know, hell yeah, Ladasha. That was a
Speaker 1: whole thing. Also, I never met this person, but a
Speaker 1: friend of mine showed me their cousin a b c
Speaker 1: D A b c D E was their cousin's first name.
Speaker 8: I just lost my ship when you said that.
Speaker 2: I wish I was joking.
Speaker 1: I thought that they were until they showed me like, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is my cousin's actual legal name ob CD. And
Speaker 1: you know that's uh yeah, certainly their their parents did
Speaker 1: not have a very good education. We'll just go with that.
Speaker 8: Your name's obesity and you're fat.
Speaker 1: But no, they were skinny. Because I thought it was
Speaker 1: like ob C. I'm like, bro, you can't know. He
Speaker 1: was like, oh, all right, dope, Tony, what you got.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Going back to some of those other names, there
Speaker 9: is a silent or like a vocalized h and a
Speaker 9: lot of a lot of languages that can be transcribed
Speaker 9: as a G. And I'm pretty sure that's why Swatch
Speaker 9: as a silent G. But Afghanistan is another very famous
Speaker 9: example of that in their language, just pronounced Afrighanistan with
Speaker 9: no actual plosive consonant, so it's actually kind of a
Speaker 9: silent letter almost. And the C in Native American languages,
Speaker 9: this is where the word Tucson comes from. It's a
Speaker 9: glottal stop and it basically ends up not pronounced in English.
Speaker 9: So that's where the silent c's come from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then to your point, also, anything of Spanish origin,
Speaker 1: the J and the G also might make an H noise, right,
Speaker 1: like Jorge or Jose, and I mean both of those.
Speaker 2: I never knew that George was Jorge.
Speaker 1: I thought that was a joke, and it's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's how they pronounced their g's. But then you'll
Speaker 1: also have the Guadaloupe, which is a I don't think
Speaker 1: they pronounced that juadalupe.
Speaker 2: I think they actually pronounced the hard G on that one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's hard G except before E.
Speaker 1: And I see. It's linguistics are so fascinating and raven
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, you have a background in anthropology,
Speaker 1: and linguistics are such an endemic part of that.
Speaker 2: It's it's really interesting, like Sam.
Speaker 1: Was saying earlier, to see how language transfers and how
Speaker 1: cultures transfer as well, and you could find familial groups
Speaker 1: through linguistics over the course of human history, and it's
Speaker 1: very fascinating.
Speaker 2: I see your hand raised. Go ahead, Raven.
Speaker 7: So there's actually a guy on Instagram that does these
Speaker 7: hilarious videos, but he speaks like ten different languages, and
Speaker 7: what he does is he actually finds in the same
Speaker 7: language a bunch of words that have the exact same sound,
Speaker 7: but they mean different things. And he'll put together entire
Speaker 7: sentences where it's like he's like acting as two people,
Speaker 7: but he'll get together in an entire sentence of like,
Speaker 7: you know, the cat went down the road and this
Speaker 7: and that. I'm just making it up, but all of
Speaker 7: the words sound exactly the same, and so he says
Speaker 7: it they might change by just a slight variation. But
Speaker 7: I find that, like he's a great example of in
Speaker 7: even one language, how many words match each other that
Speaker 7: mean totally different things or sound just slightly different. And
Speaker 7: I just was while we were talking about languages. I
Speaker 7: just thought of him and how interesting that was.
Speaker 2: No, I agree one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: One that I saw shows a mean years ago in
Speaker 1: the American English dialect. Anyway, the word buffalo, if you
Speaker 1: put that down on a piece of paper seven times,
Speaker 1: that is a correct sentence. Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo.
Speaker 1: What that means is a buffalo named buffalo from Buffalo,
Speaker 1: New York, annoys the shit out of other buffalos from Buffalo,
Speaker 1: New York. Apparently that's an actual, grammatically correct sentence. And
Speaker 1: that's just the dumbest shit I have ever heard in
Speaker 1: my life. But then yes, there's tons of languages that
Speaker 1: have words that sound almost identical, if not are identical,
Speaker 1: but it's the inflection and the context that makes them
Speaker 1: have completely different meanings. And I mean, the English language
Speaker 1: is no, no, no different when it comes to that.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, Sam, what you got case in point there
Speaker 1: and there?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, ile Isle and asle red red red and read.
Speaker 1: It fucked me up. Whenever my French teachers pulled up,
Speaker 1: we were talking about how the French language had some
Speaker 1: words that were difficult, and she's like, okay, y'all want
Speaker 1: to give us such a hard time.
Speaker 2: She wrote on the on the dry erase.
Speaker 1: Board rough though and dough and tough and then through
Speaker 1: and said all of these in with O U G H.
Speaker 2: Explain why that makes sense before you come at me.
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn it, I can't. That was
Speaker 1: a very very good counterpoint.
Speaker 2: You know, language just be like that anyway.
Speaker 5: They don't make no sense.
Speaker 1: Not always, not always.
Speaker 11: With English, if I'm not mistaken, it's noun adjive verb,
Speaker 11: and with Spanish it's uh, the verb adjective noun if
Speaker 11: I'm not mistaken, like the way the the Senate structures. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and that's why. So like you, there's some languages you
Speaker 11: can get an actual little translation and other ones you
Speaker 11: cannot have an actual translation because there's nothing actually translates to.
Speaker 2: Right exactly, nation, boycott what you got, brother.
Speaker 4: I found another one that was was like the buffalo.
Speaker 4: Oh no, it is that that exists exists in that
Speaker 4: that that that exists exists in Okay, Actually the idea
Speaker 4: that something exists is true in the realm where that
Speaker 4: same something exists.
Speaker 2: That is a longer way of explaining. The description was
Speaker 2: shorter than the sentence, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes languages would be wild, and you know anyway anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, so we've gone way off topic as far
Speaker 1: as the article I have pulled up, let's get back
Speaker 1: into it. As far as the nine hundred billion dollar allotment, No,
Speaker 1: that's not the word budget. Budget's the word. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about it here. The House on Wednesday easily passed the
Speaker 1: Annual Defense Policy Bill, sending the mammoth nine hundred billion
Speaker 1: dollar measure to the Senate ahead of the year end deadline.
Speaker 1: The measure, known as the National Defense Authorization Act, the NDAA,
Speaker 1: passed the lower chamber by a vote of three hundred
Speaker 1: and twelve to one hundred and twelve. Ninety four Democrats
Speaker 1: and eighteen Republicans opposed the bill. I mean, still, even
Speaker 1: with these tin of numbers, three twelve to one twelve,
Speaker 1: that's that's handily passing. That's not even that's not close.
Speaker 1: The NDAA, a traditionally bipartisan bill that lays out defense
Speaker 1: priorities for the next year, would increase pay for service members.
Speaker 1: A I'm not mad at that, provide some military a
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, and I'm kind of neutral on that. These
Speaker 1: days to be completely honest with you, restrict US investment
Speaker 1: in China and fully repeal sanctions on Syria.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm here for portions of that.
Speaker 1: I suppose, among other things, it also contained provisions or
Speaker 1: a provision to withhold a portion of Defense Secretary Pete
Speaker 1: Hegseth's travel budget until he turns over unedited footage of
Speaker 1: US military strikes against alleged drug votes in the Caribbean
Speaker 1: and copies of the orders behind the operations. Yo. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are keeping up with South Park,
Speaker 1: but they just dog walk Pete heg Seth for basically
Speaker 1: being a glorified content creator who doesn't do anything as
Speaker 1: far as the National Defense is concerned. I thought it
Speaker 1: was funny that. Being said, I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: really feel the hit as far as stopping.
Speaker 2: His travel budget.
Speaker 1: The footage of the boat that was getting hit, I
Speaker 1: didn't think that there was many edits that were done
Speaker 1: to that it got hit. There was two dudes that
Speaker 1: you know, either got blown off the boat or jumped
Speaker 1: off the boat, whatever the case. At that point they
Speaker 1: were unarmed, sure, and then they sent another round and
Speaker 1: they got him.
Speaker 2: So like that that's how war is done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then also there's this whole argument to say that, well,
Speaker 1: you know, in combat in Afghanistan, when an armed enemy
Speaker 1: combatant would be shot, he would drop his weapon. We
Speaker 1: were supposed to render aid to them. This is a
Speaker 1: war crime. First of all, the law of naval combat
Speaker 1: and the law of land based combat is very different.
Speaker 2: First off.
Speaker 1: Second off, we didn't exactly have naval assets in the
Speaker 1: area that was gonna come scoop these dudes up to
Speaker 1: give them, you know, life saving treatment. If anything, we
Speaker 1: prevented them from drowning to death. So I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that this was some sort of a mercy by any means.
Speaker 1: This is how warfare is conducted. And let's also there's
Speaker 1: also been this whole argument to say that the people
Speaker 1: that were piloting this craft were all they were forced
Speaker 1: there because the cartel had their families as hostages, and
Speaker 1: if they didn't deliver these drugs, they would have their
Speaker 1: families would have been killed. In all these things, even
Speaker 1: though by trenda Arhuahwa's admission and Maduro's admission, the boat
Speaker 1: is piloted by at least five people and they are
Speaker 1: all highly I'm not going to say highly paid. They're
Speaker 1: not making like a million dollars per run by any means,
Speaker 1: but they are very well paid and they're pretty apt
Speaker 1: to be on the boat to do the things. You
Speaker 1: have a navigator, you have a pilot, you have a copilot,
Speaker 1: and you have two engineers on every single boat that
Speaker 1: the Narcos have sent out from Venezuela. That's by their admission,
Speaker 1: not by US intelligence. So I'm having a hard time
Speaker 1: believing that these well paid individuals were forced into that position.
Speaker 1: I think that they saw it as a business opportunity, which, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to knock them for it. I in it,
Speaker 1: But also knowing that America has declared war on you,
Speaker 1: and knowing that there's this is in the first boat
Speaker 1: that got hit, like you know for a fact that
Speaker 1: if you go out in these waters you're gonna get hit.
Speaker 1: You chose to go out, so you got hit. I'm
Speaker 1: having a hard time finding the connection to make people
Speaker 1: lose their shit on this, But maybe I'm just missing it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Nation boycott what you got, all.
Speaker 4: Right, So I don't think I don't really have an
Speaker 4: opinion on if it was a war crime or not,
Speaker 4: because they were done anyways, it doesn't matter, right, it
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. However, I will say that the UCMJ supposedly
Speaker 4: the part that talks about disobeying blatantly illegal or orders. Uh,
Speaker 4: one of the what they use as an example is
Speaker 4: firing upon the shipwreck. So they were like, you know,
Speaker 4: you shall never you shall never follow in order that's
Speaker 4: blatantly illegal, such as firing upon the shipwreck a ship
Speaker 4: firing upon the shipwrecked. Right, it's just underst that they're
Speaker 4: like out of the battle, right, And I guess you
Speaker 4: hit them on the missile. You just wrecked their ship.
Speaker 4: So those guys were the definition of shipwrecked, and we
Speaker 4: did fire on them. But I just think it was
Speaker 4: more funny how fast Trump and hag Seth there through
Speaker 4: that admiral under the bus, Like yeah, fast as fuck,
Speaker 4: And like, I think it's more funny that. I don't
Speaker 4: know the whole justification they do use for the drugs, Well,
Speaker 4: it's a good justification, like fuck Fetimoh, my kid's mom
Speaker 4: actually just like disappeared about a year ago. She was
Speaker 4: a fentanyl addict. Yeah from her in about a year. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so it's fentanyl, fentanyl college drug dealers. Most of the
Speaker 4: fentanyl manufacturing happens in Mexico and Colombia, right, very very little,
Speaker 4: if any, happens in Venezuela. And mostly the drugs from
Speaker 4: Venezuela actually go to other Caribbean islands, yeah, like Cuba
Speaker 4: and Jamaica, and then also to Africa for into Europe.
Speaker 4: So very little Cuban or venezuel Than drugs actually come
Speaker 4: to America, So that's fair. Premise is kind of bullshit.
Speaker 4: But I also agree. I don't like Maduro, and I've
Speaker 4: known Venezuelan's I had a Venezuelan exchange student stay at
Speaker 4: my house for a couple months when I was in
Speaker 4: the Navy, and yeah, his his terrible family life in Venezuela.
Speaker 4: He did not like Maduro. They need a better justification
Speaker 4: than the drugs. But I do agree that Monduro shouldn't
Speaker 4: be in power, and it's not good to have a
Speaker 4: hostile government this close to US.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would agree, but then I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: Mexico is a very hostile government and they're on our border.
Speaker 1: Was it thirty two assassinations in the last election that
Speaker 1: took place. I mean, while I fullheartedly agree with what
Speaker 1: you just said.
Speaker 4: I think we should be in Mexico instead of Venezuela, Right,
Speaker 4: I really do. I would be okay with a war
Speaker 4: in Venezuela, more more in Mexico than I am.
Speaker 8: War in Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Right, But Mexico doesn't have oil. Venezuela got that old.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just I don't even know if it's about
Speaker 8: the oil. I don't know what it's about it.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong and it has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the oil.
Speaker 8: But because we have oil, and oil is cheap right now,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I think oil is cheap right now, and I don't
Speaker 4: think we really needed oil in a while.
Speaker 1: It's not about needing it. It's more like securing the
Speaker 1: future investment, you know, same reason. Like Okay, Iraq, for instance,
Speaker 1: we didn't need to go to Iraq. Saddam was not
Speaker 1: really fucking with America whatsoever. Right, it was to protect
Speaker 1: American interest in for an oil as well as some
Speaker 1: other key strategic things. And that's fine, it's cool. That
Speaker 1: being said, it kind of put us on a good
Speaker 1: footing for what's currently going down in Iraq. Now. Iraq
Speaker 1: is kicking out the Russian oil drillers and asking Exxon,
Speaker 1: and I want to say, it's is it Shell or Chevron.
Speaker 1: We'll get to an article here in a minut to
Speaker 1: talk more about it. They're asking American oil drillers to
Speaker 1: come in and set up shop in the abandoned oil
Speaker 1: fields they just kicked Russia out of. And it's not
Speaker 1: because Iraq and Russia had some sort of a falling
Speaker 1: out by any means. It's because the Russian sanctions have
Speaker 1: gone so far that now Iraq can't fund that. But what,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to all of it in a minute.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to all of it here in a bit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I'm not for the justification of us
Speaker 1: going to war Venezuela. I'm not a big fan of Maduro,
Speaker 1: but what skin is it off of my nose? If
Speaker 1: he is a despot to his people like that, that is,
Speaker 1: I will lose zero amount of sleep on that, the
Speaker 1: same way I lost lost no sleep over a lot
Speaker 1: of the heinous shit going on in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: or in Africa or in China. Like, yeah, this stuff
Speaker 1: should be stopped based on a humanitarian scale. I agree
Speaker 1: with that America doesn't need to get involved in these things, right,
Speaker 1: So I mean he is hostile. Yes, the drugs I
Speaker 1: think are a justification. It's not like you said. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a very strong one. I think that
Speaker 1: they whenever they listed that all cartel groups are now
Speaker 1: listed as terrorist organizations.
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that either.
Speaker 1: For the record, it's not like it's not like Trenda Rawa,
Speaker 1: which is one of the only ones. The other ones,
Speaker 1: the Cartel the Solis or the Cartel of the Sun,
Speaker 1: which all ye, they're not even the two biggest or
Speaker 1: most vicious cartels that we have to deal with.
Speaker 2: Those are the only two.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, to come out of Venezuela, we
Speaker 1: could be going after the Sineloa cartel right now.
Speaker 2: We could be going after.
Speaker 1: Uh what is the uh J and g uh it's
Speaker 1: the new ship.
Speaker 2: It's out of Mexico.
Speaker 8: It's uh he's new generation.
Speaker 1: That's the one that's we could be going after them.
Speaker 1: They are brutal cartels that are operating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's business with us, right, Mexico listens to us
Speaker 4: for the most part. Venezuela does business with Iran and
Speaker 4: China and Russia and gets projects from them, right exactly.
Speaker 1: So again, I'm not I am not necessarily all for
Speaker 1: us going to war with Venezuela.
Speaker 2: I will say.
Speaker 1: I I will say that if we were to invade Venezuela,
Speaker 1: the soldiers in the Marines that are part of the
Speaker 1: ground forces are gonna have some fun. Just take that
Speaker 1: to whatever metrics you want to on that one, because
Speaker 1: Venezuela has it's a gorgeous place with gorgeous inhabitants. It's
Speaker 1: all quick.
Speaker 4: Think about when we went to in Iraq and Afghanistan
Speaker 4: what that did for the region and the chaos that
Speaker 4: spawned in the region. Yeah, right, now we're going to
Speaker 4: try to do that in our region. Right, Like they
Speaker 4: couldn't get us from over there, right, they could go
Speaker 4: and they could flood up Europe, and they could go
Speaker 4: and cause terrorism in Africa like they have and spawn
Speaker 4: off those offshoots. Now we're gonna do that over here.
Speaker 4: And we think we can contain it. We couldn't contain
Speaker 4: it in Iraq and Afghanistan. We think we contain it
Speaker 4: over here.
Speaker 8: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: I agree that.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's about the containment though. I
Speaker 1: think that's we're trying to make a prolonged war happen.
Speaker 4: And we don't seeing the chaos if you did a
Speaker 4: regime change over there, if you collapse government, it would
Speaker 4: lead to chaos.
Speaker 8: And they're hostiles. Not either.
Speaker 4: People are over there even like cheering us to come
Speaker 4: in right now.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, they're not cheering your boy, Maduro. But they're
Speaker 1: also not cheering us either. They just they want a
Speaker 1: regime change. They for the most part, from what I
Speaker 1: could tell, they're not even mad if it has to
Speaker 1: happen violently, but they want it to happen for them,
Speaker 1: by them, right. But it's not like this is the
Speaker 1: first regime change that we've done in South America. I
Speaker 1: even research two thousand like overt.
Speaker 8: Yeah, most of the time we do it secretly.
Speaker 1: Which is why CIA operations are happening in Venezuela right now.
Speaker 4: You'd be amazed how patriotic people get when they get invaded,
Speaker 4: doesn't matter who invades them.
Speaker 1: Very true, very true. So, like I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not inherently for a ground based attack in Venezuela.
Speaker 1: I'm not inherently Again, well, I guess I'm more on
Speaker 1: the against its side than for its side, all things considered.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that this could be the
Speaker 1: new boogeyman that Trump tries to get people to rally behind.
Speaker 8: I'm saying I would say I'm for it.
Speaker 4: I'm on the fence. I'm for it, But I don't
Speaker 4: think they've thought it through. That's my issue with it.
Speaker 4: I don't think they've encompassed all of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not I'm very much for a regime change,
Speaker 1: and I'm even for America having a hand in the
Speaker 1: regime change. I gotta say I'm more on the side
Speaker 1: of against a land based assault into Venezuela using US forces.
Speaker 1: That's all. Now, if we're CIA type things or even
Speaker 1: from the air or whatever else, fine cool. But for
Speaker 1: America to get involved in a kinetic way on Venezuela proper,
Speaker 1: I don't see that inherently going well either A. It
Speaker 1: gets wrapped up so quickly, so quickly, and now they're
Speaker 1: left in a power vacuum. And then we will install
Speaker 1: a leader that is very pro democracy and pro making
Speaker 1: deals in America happen, and that'll be great until two
Speaker 1: elections from now, and then we're right back to square one.
Speaker 1: And it's it's even of a pain in the ass
Speaker 1: because we have hooked them up in so many ways.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's messy. It's messy. Like you said, anytime
Speaker 1: there's a regime change that America has been involved with,
Speaker 1: it's never a clean cut type of situation. Because we
Speaker 1: also could be on the precipice of a color war
Speaker 1: happening in Venezuela if that was to take place, right
Speaker 1: because all these Maduro supporters, who for the record, there's
Speaker 1: on on paper there's not many, but there are, there
Speaker 1: really are. And then also there's tons of people that
Speaker 1: are starving right now that hate Mandureau. So if we
Speaker 1: were to do that and there'd be a power vacuum,
Speaker 1: we put in a democratically elected quote unquote democratically elected
Speaker 1: leader into Venezuela, the next election could spawn a Venezuelan
Speaker 1: civil war, which again it's not like South America is,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like they haven't had a civil
Speaker 1: war or two on the continent throughout the past century.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. I would like to think
Speaker 1: that we're beyond that. But then, like you said, it's
Speaker 1: also about their international ties, right, it's not just Venezuela
Speaker 1: handling their shit in house, Because if that was to happen, China, Russia,
Speaker 1: Iran bricks just let's just go ahead and throw bricks out.
Speaker 1: Bricks would have a say so and how that Color
Speaker 1: War would take place, So would America and the West
Speaker 1: of NATO and all. It just would evolve into I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it would turn into World War three. I'm
Speaker 1: saying it would add one more match or one more
Speaker 1: nail on the coffinto what could eventually spawn into an
Speaker 1: actual true World War three type of scenario.
Speaker 4: We did a ground war in Venezuela. I don't think
Speaker 4: China and Russia would directly get involved. They pretty much.
Speaker 4: I think they basically told Venezuela they were on their own.
Speaker 4: But if we did collapse and there was any type
Speaker 4: of chaos, Russia and China would definitely capitalize on that.
Speaker 1: Yes they would in the Color War. Oh, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: get involved in a connectic war with American troops in
Speaker 1: Venezuela by any means. They would wait until that was
Speaker 1: all wrapped up, and then they would wait for an
Speaker 1: election or two, maybe three later, and then they would
Speaker 1: have their operatives go in there and start it from
Speaker 1: the backside. And I mean, that's that's what I'm saying
Speaker 1: it might be U it might look good in the
Speaker 1: short term, given another ten to fifteen, maybe even twenty years,
Speaker 1: and we're having a whole other conversation again from a
Speaker 1: South American country that America stuckor knows in the business
Speaker 1: of I don't know.
Speaker 8: And again and now it's here in not Ukraine, right, it's.
Speaker 1: Just on the other side of the Gulf, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And I mean, yeah, the drugs, I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of that either. And even if those
Speaker 1: drugs were all making it to America, Okay, cool, you're
Speaker 1: trying to stop that. But just because you got that
Speaker 1: one ship doesn't mean there wasn't nine more that made
Speaker 1: it through. It's all about the optics, right, And that's
Speaker 1: how the drug the war on drugs has always been.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be on camera showing you just got this
Speaker 1: sixty four tons of cocaine from this semi submersible submarine
Speaker 1: and all this there was ten more that made it
Speaker 1: to their destinations. But you're having the biggest photo op
Speaker 1: ever in this big victory, and all the cops are
Speaker 1: gonna be lined out with all the drugs. The Mayor's
Speaker 1: gonna give a big speech and he'll win the next
Speaker 1: election over this one, bust. That was all for the
Speaker 1: optics and the and the cartels know that they just
Speaker 1: charged that to the game. To be completely honest, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's all for the show, you know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see what chakes out of Venezuela. We are going
Speaker 1: to talk more about some things in Venezuela here in
Speaker 1: a bit, go ahead, sam.
Speaker 5: My bad, I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I forgot.
Speaker 5: Where I was texting my buddy.
Speaker 1: I apologize.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 6: Talking about Venezuela and everything got me thinking about the
Speaker 6: the Banana Wars and everything. Perfect example which I dropped
Speaker 6: a picture of the captured flag of Augustus Caesar.
Speaker 5: I can't think of the dude's last name. Oh, he
Speaker 5: was the president of nicol Ugua.
Speaker 6: I believe I might be wrong, but they got a
Speaker 6: picture of his flag and it's all these it's the
Speaker 6: moones and they're looking pimp nasty.
Speaker 5: I dropped it in the chat. If you want to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that you mentioned, I am gonna have to
Speaker 1: go check that out. Where is my Jesus? Why loves Jesus?
Speaker 1: There it goes, there, it goes all right, pee peep,
Speaker 1: you it's loading.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen that picture.
Speaker 12: Yes, indeed, dude, they got like a badass Jolly Walder
Speaker 12: I which fun fact, the USS Kid is the only
Speaker 12: US Naval ship to actually be allowed to fly the
Speaker 12: Jolly Roger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's in the Baton Rouge Louisiana. We used
Speaker 1: to go there for field trips and ship.
Speaker 6: You lucky motherfucker. I didn't know what was in there though.
Speaker 6: What is it a Missouri that.
Speaker 5: Has a Nazi U boat in the middle of the
Speaker 5: fucking lake.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think it's the only captured U boat
Speaker 1: that they got and somehow they transported for it's a
Speaker 1: museum as well.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what I think it's might be. It
Speaker 2: might be, but yeah, So the USS Kid, for.
Speaker 1: Anybody who doesn't know, is a destroyer, one of the
Speaker 1: ones that was cranked out like clockwork from World War Two.
Speaker 1: Because their mascot is Captain Kidd, the famous pirate, they
Speaker 1: had to get special permission from the US Navy during.
Speaker 5: A private tier. It was a private tier, a.
Speaker 1: Private tier, which is literally just a pirate that has
Speaker 1: a license to be a pirate.
Speaker 2: I'm not judging. The man was making his dollar bills.
Speaker 1: But my point is, yeah, the USS kid had to
Speaker 1: get special permission from the Department of the Navy to
Speaker 1: fly the Jolly Roger and not be seen as a
Speaker 1: pirate vessel, which to your point, I think is pretty
Speaker 1: cool anyway.
Speaker 6: Fun which is funny because I like Pirates and everything,
Speaker 6: you know, Black Flag, the uh, the Assassin's games, they
Speaker 6: actually have a lot of like actual historical truths in it,
Speaker 6: like based on uh the Pirates, the Gentleman uh, you
Speaker 6: know his buddy Bonnet that you only see a couple
Speaker 6: of times in the game then he goes up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was actually called the Gentleman pirate.
Speaker 6: Uh. He actually begged for his life and every thing,
Speaker 6: though his execution was stalled like postpone three or four
Speaker 6: times ultimately that he was supposed to be parton but
Speaker 6: ultimately the party never came or like there was some
Speaker 6: backstage politics because he was he was the son of
Speaker 6: a wealthy plantation owner and everything.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I like Pirates, oh no.
Speaker 1: I do. And the Assassin's Creeds games they do stick
Speaker 1: to at least some historical narratives, but then they also
Speaker 1: take it to the rem of fan fit to make
Speaker 1: the game more interesting. That's what we would call them
Speaker 1: creative liberties. But yeah, a lot of the characters are
Speaker 1: actual historical figures for sure.
Speaker 6: I just got the jackdaw a completely maxed upgraded, and
Speaker 6: I'm going I'm going to go after the legendary ships now, bro.
Speaker 1: I got the jackdaw as upgrade as I ever could.
Speaker 1: That was the last game of Assassin's Creed that I
Speaker 1: played start to finish, I might add right, and this
Speaker 1: was years ago. I got the jackdaw as upgrade as
Speaker 1: I could, and I tried going after a legendary ship.
Speaker 1: I tried hitting it with the mortars from Afar and
Speaker 1: then trying to get close and doing the things. Bro
Speaker 1: It ate my lunch every time I attempted the mission
Speaker 1: without fail.
Speaker 5: My favorite one.
Speaker 6: I've only ever been able to beat it one time,
Speaker 6: and my ship wasn't even fully upgraded. I got really lucky,
Speaker 6: but I was on my Xbox. It was the double one.
Speaker 6: The trick is to back up and let them shoot
Speaker 6: each other, and I know they are going to be
Speaker 6: the first one I attempt and everything tomorrow, and I'm
Speaker 6: really excited and I'm doing it for Chesty.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, all right side tangents aside.
Speaker 1: Let's get back into it here.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: We talked about heg seth cool cool cool.
Speaker 1: The bill had barely cleared a key procedural vote just
Speaker 1: hours earlier. House leadership held the vote open for more
Speaker 1: than an hour as Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican from Louisiana,
Speaker 1: persuaded Representatives Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert, and Anna Paul
Speaker 1: Luna and Tim Burch excuse me to flip their no
Speaker 1: votes to yes. They said they did so after receiving
Speaker 1: assurances from GOP leadership and administration of Thisish. Representative Thomas
Speaker 1: Massey from Kentucky was the only Republican to vote no
Speaker 1: on the rule. Yeah, Massy's out there doing whatever mass
Speaker 1: he wants to do. And I'm not saying that negatively.
Speaker 1: For the record, I don't dislike the guy. I don't
Speaker 1: dislike the things that he votes on. But as far
Speaker 1: as being a Republican goes, Massey is a bit of
Speaker 1: a monolith in a lot of regards. There's some positives
Speaker 1: to that. Let's just be clear. He says, I would
Speaker 1: vote I would vote for an increase in pay for soldiers,
Speaker 1: but they put that in there to try to get
Speaker 1: you to vote for all the other stuff.
Speaker 2: There's still a lot of waste in the bill.
Speaker 1: Massey, who also voted against the bill's final passage, told
Speaker 1: The Hill he.
Speaker 2: Also criticized the aid to Ukraine and the bill.
Speaker 1: I could believe this. I thought we were getting out
Speaker 1: of Ukraine. I don't know why we still need to
Speaker 1: spend money there, he said. There were some grumblings about
Speaker 1: provisions that were left out in the final DAA. Several
Speaker 1: hardline conservatives had raised concerns that the bill doesn't include
Speaker 1: a provision to prevent the creation of a central bank
Speaker 1: digital currency, which could reshape electronic payments around the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 1: They've argued that such a currency could be used to
Speaker 1: survey or surveyal the Americans, which, yeah, obviously representative Keith self,
Speaker 1: that's a Republican from Texas, who vote against the final passage,
Speaker 1: wrote on x that leaving out procede protections for the
Speaker 1: final privacy of Americans is unacceptable. We must demand better
Speaker 1: and fight for the next must pass bill to ensure
Speaker 1: a CBDC never sees the light of day. Financial freedom
Speaker 1: isn't negotiable, he wrote, I agree with that I agree
Speaker 1: with the statement on that.
Speaker 2: Fiscal hawks were also not.
Speaker 1: Happy that the bill had a top line of about
Speaker 1: eight billion, more than the eight ninety two point six
Speaker 1: billion that President Trump requested in May. Appointing contention among Democrats, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: was the removal of a provision to expand IVF coverage
Speaker 1: for active duty service members and military families. Representative Sarah Jacobs,
Speaker 1: a Democrat from California, had passed an IVF amendment through
Speaker 1: the House Armed Service Committee back in July to be
Speaker 1: included in the NDAA. However, Johnson had worked behind the
Speaker 1: scenes to kill the provision. Is a direct quote, Speaker
Speaker 1: Johnson just stole the opportunity for service members to build
Speaker 1: their families through IVF, putting his personal beliefs over their dreams.
Speaker 1: It's an unbearable it's unbelievably selfish and callous move against
Speaker 1: the people who've served and sacrificed so much for us,
Speaker 1: especially when he and his own staff have access to
Speaker 1: healthcare plans that provide IVF coverage. Jacobs, who ultimately voted
Speaker 1: against the bill's final passage, wrote in a December seventh statement, However,
Speaker 1: the NDAA still had enough bipartisan support to pass the
Speaker 1: lower chamber. While I have concerns about how Speaker and
Speaker 1: White House handled the final negotiations of the bill, the
Speaker 1: majority of this legislation reflects months of bipartisan negotiations done
Speaker 1: in good faith between the House and Senate Armed Service Committee.
Speaker 1: That was Representative Adam Smith, Democrat from Washington and ranking
Speaker 1: member of the House Armed Service Committee said in a
Speaker 1: December eighth statement, So, anyway, long story short, the bill past,
Speaker 1: and now we have a nine hundred billion annual defense
Speaker 1: bill that just got passed through all the chambers and
Speaker 1: it's going to go to Trump next go ahead, nation boycott.
Speaker 4: So the fact that this NDAA is in the news
Speaker 4: like this again, it's given me flashbacks to Obama's twenty
Speaker 4: twelve NDAA HM essentially like authorized indefinite detention the name
Speaker 4: of anti terrorism against American citizens where they could technically
Speaker 4: pull up in black black VANU and then also indefinite
Speaker 4: worldwide wars. Yeah, I've basically led us to the situation
Speaker 4: we are in today.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, I've said this before.
Speaker 1: When you have that level of bipartisan support, there is
Speaker 1: clearly some chicanery afoot. That's that's right off the rip
Speaker 1: you know, and we're not going to see what the
Speaker 1: remnants of that's going to look like for the next
Speaker 1: five ten maybe, I don't know, maybe next year we'll
Speaker 1: see what else was in this bill that we just
Speaker 1: got screwed on. I don't know, but uh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: nothing like this gets pass to this level with out
Speaker 1: there being some sort of some fuck real foot you know.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Oh you had something else, Oh you did like this.
Speaker 1: I didn't know if that was towards me or not. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, dope, moving on, We're still gonna stick to America.
Speaker 2: Just for a little minute.
Speaker 1: Here, Florida declares the US Muslim Civil Rights group a
Speaker 1: foreign terrorist organization, and so is Texas. By the way,
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis legally legally dubious order designating care kai Ar.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this pronounced car A Muslim brother
Speaker 1: It's care. It's pronounced care Yeah, okay, c ai R
Speaker 1: just ranged by who's curious? And Muslim Brotherhood follows a
Speaker 1: similar move by Texas. Florida is declaring the Council on
Speaker 1: American Islamic Relations, a US civil rights and liberties group,
Speaker 1: as a foreign terrorist organization. The Republican governor Ron de
Speaker 1: Santis announced on Monday. The move closely follows a similar
Speaker 1: order issued in November by Texas this governor Greg Abbot,
Speaker 1: Desanta's's fellow Republican. Even though only the federal government can
Speaker 1: designate terrorist organizations, Care and its supporters are among those
Speaker 1: who have dismissed the orders from DeSantis and Abbot as islamophobia.
Speaker 2: Well, I bet they did.
Speaker 1: In a statement, the National and Florida Care chapters described
Speaker 1: to Santa's's order as a stunt and accused him of
Speaker 1: signing a defamatory and unconstitutional order baselessly smearing.
Speaker 2: Them as a direct quote.
Speaker 1: The group vowed to sue Florida as it has Texas,
Speaker 1: where Abbot has directed law enforcement officials to investigate whether
Speaker 1: a group in Dallas is operating courts under Shrea law.
Speaker 1: So I heard about this a while back, and you
Speaker 1: couple this with that community, I guess we could use
Speaker 1: it as that that is trying to build itself up
Speaker 1: in Texas to operate under Sharia law. And listen on
Speaker 1: the onset. If you get a group of people that
Speaker 1: all get down in very similar ways and they want
Speaker 1: to live off the beaten path to do as they do,
Speaker 1: I don't inherently have a problem with it as long
Speaker 1: as like human rights aren't being violated, right like the Homish,
Speaker 1: for instance. I got no problem with the Amish operating
Speaker 1: in their own way, you know. But you also have
Speaker 1: situations like old David Koresh where he had a community
Speaker 1: that was living off the beaten path and there were
Speaker 1: some serious atrocities that were going on behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: So there's levels to this, right, And hear me out.
Speaker 1: If a group of Muslims that live in America and
Speaker 1: are American citizens want to live in their own community
Speaker 1: of Muslims just to be with people that are like them,
Speaker 1: I don't inherently have a problem with this. However, if
Speaker 1: they're going to try to implement their own version of
Speaker 1: law and order under a version of Sharia law where
Speaker 1: human rights atrocities will be committed on us soil, I
Speaker 1: now have a problem with that then.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that that is what they were
Speaker 2: trying to do.
Speaker 1: Depends on which source you're reading, is what you're talking
Speaker 1: about as far as the Texas community is concerned. That
Speaker 1: being said, Greg Abbott claimed that this group, not the
Speaker 1: community I was talking about, but the care group, which
Speaker 1: is the You know, the American Islamic Relations Group is
Speaker 1: a terrorist group.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now DeSantis has followed suit. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a group in Dallas
Speaker 1: that was operating courts under Sharia law. If there was,
Speaker 1: then yeah, that absolutely needs to have a stop put
Speaker 1: to it. Fair Enough, Governor DeSantis knows full well that
Speaker 1: CARE Florida is an American civil rights organization that has
Speaker 1: spent decades advancing free speech, religious freedom, and justice for all,
Speaker 1: including the people of Palestine, the group said in a statement. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: because the people in Florida. Yeah, sure enough, Desanta said.
Speaker 1: The executive order naming Kerr, one of the nation's largest
Speaker 1: Muslim advocacy groups, was effective immediately. His order also targets
Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood, a transitional Islamic group founded in nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty eight. The Muslim Brotherhood is a known terrorist organization
Speaker 1: though and I know by their own admission they're not,
Speaker 1: but by the world's admission, they're seen as an international
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. I don't know off the rip what the
Speaker 1: connection is between the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE. Maybe there
Speaker 1: is some, maybe there's not. I don't know, but fair enough,
Speaker 1: Neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor Care are on the US
Speaker 1: government's list of designated FTO groups. Wait a minute, when
Speaker 1: was the Muslim Brotherhood taken off the list? I was
Speaker 1: pretty confident the Muslim brother who was listed as a
Speaker 1: foreign terrorist organization by the US government.
Speaker 2: Please nation boycott help me out here.
Speaker 8: Weren't they like the leading like the leading faction in Egypt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Muslim Brotherhood was like running Egypt, and I
Speaker 4: think we did that to like improve relations.
Speaker 2: We took them off the list.
Speaker 4: Ehipt's an ally of ours and it was straight up
Speaker 4: being run by the mother Muslim Brotherhood and like a
Speaker 4: couple of less than ten years ago.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 9: That was only for one year in twenty thirteen under
Speaker 9: Mohamma or a while.
Speaker 1: Ago, but we still had them listed, was it? I
Speaker 1: think I read about that Biden took them off the list,
Speaker 1: didn't he?
Speaker 9: You know, I don't remember, and I remember they were
Speaker 9: very big in Egypt and Jordan, and Jordan designated them
Speaker 9: a terrorist organization just within the last year, which really
Speaker 9: surprised the heck out of me. I will check on
Speaker 9: the State Department's list. They got a list to like
Speaker 9: one hundred of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know for sure they at one time were
Speaker 1: on the list. So yeah, Tony, a little bit of
Speaker 1: clarification and that would be greatly appreciated anyway. Continuing on, nonetheless,
Speaker 1: Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures
Speaker 1: to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges
Speaker 1: or resources to anyone providing material support. Well, yeah, no shit.
Speaker 1: The order said CARE was quote founded by persons connected
Speaker 1: to the Muslim Brotherhood. Ah, there's a connection which it
Speaker 1: connects to Hamas and the October seventh attack on Israel.
Speaker 1: CARE denies ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Okay,
Speaker 1: I bet they would go ahead. Nation.
Speaker 4: So apparently it's only certain factions of the Muslim Brotherhood
Speaker 4: that they've designated, not the whole Muslim Brotherhood. It's only
Speaker 4: certain factions, okay, So like offshoots gosh yeah, kind of
Speaker 4: like how al Qaeda, you know, and then there's offshoots
Speaker 4: and now everything's al Qaida.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 1: So they even still man America is all about passing
Speaker 1: some blanket policies to say that you're not going to
Speaker 1: pass it for the whole group, but some of their
Speaker 1: offshoot branches, you will, that's that's tiptoe.
Speaker 8: We like, we'll do business with with the terrorists. We
Speaker 8: don't like we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Kill oh for sure, absolutely, I mean hell, even al
Speaker 1: Qaeda that was started by us. But I mean that's
Speaker 1: we've talked about that in the cult A good bit.
Speaker 1: Osam Bin Laden aka tim Osman was absolutely self started
Speaker 1: and funded and trained by our assets back when he
Speaker 1: was still fighting with the mujah Dean.
Speaker 4: If I'm not mistaken against the sovietly buried at sea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although I will say through some sources that I
Speaker 1: have I saw the picture of him lit up with
Speaker 1: the Navy seals. They straight up took trophy pictures with
Speaker 1: the body that for sure was the bann in question.
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people say, do we know
Speaker 1: he's really dead? This and this. I get the question.
Speaker 1: I absolutely get the conspiratorial take on it. I'm a
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. I fully get he had tons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I will say.
Speaker 1: That even the whole operation to get him was fraught
Speaker 1: with farces start to finish.
Speaker 8: And crashed and left a Blackhawk.
Speaker 2: Like that's mind blowing totally.
Speaker 8: That's as bad as us losing a eight three China.
Speaker 1: Dude. They they trained for this one mission. They knew
Speaker 1: where he was staying for months, for months and months
Speaker 1: and months, and they had the best specially trained pilots
Speaker 1: that could get in there quick, fly, load, do all
Speaker 1: these things, and everything was was planned out to a
Speaker 1: t and it got fucked up so quickly on the
Speaker 1: onset It's like, wait, what then you bury his body
Speaker 1: at sea? That also, I don't understand it. The only
Speaker 1: reason why I believe that he is in fact gone
Speaker 1: is because of the source that I got it from
Speaker 1: and me witnessing the pictures themselves. If I would have
Speaker 1: never seen that and didn't trust that source, I would
Speaker 1: not believe that he's dead, to be completely honest. So
Speaker 1: I understand why people question it so heavily. And it's
Speaker 1: not like I'm trying to die on that hill, like
Speaker 1: I get it. I fully get it, okay, hodal good.
Speaker 4: I just try to compare it to the other people
Speaker 4: in the region, Like, look what happened to Saddam. He
Speaker 4: was paraded out and hung in a square. Look what
Speaker 4: happened to Gaddafi? He was fucking sodomized and that video
Speaker 4: was put out. Osama was the even bigger criminal against
Speaker 4: us than the rest of them, done quietly and buried,
Speaker 4: and see like.
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, but I mean, keep in mind, it's
Speaker 1: not like the people of Afghanistan hated bin Laden. They
Speaker 1: hated him because of the amount of heat that he
Speaker 1: brought onto the nation. They had twenty years of occupation
Speaker 1: from a foreign nation. They're not fans of that. But
Speaker 1: the people weren't in him against him, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess depended on village to village. Some are more
Speaker 1: loyal to the Taliban, some are more loyal to al Qaeda,
Speaker 1: But it wasn't They didn't see him as an inherent
Speaker 1: bad guy like that. So it's not like the public
Speaker 1: would have gotten their justice on him. You know, he
Speaker 1: wasn't like a nation leader. So but I do see
Speaker 1: the point that you're making one hundred percent, Sam, what
Speaker 1: you got done.
Speaker 6: So the reason why that he was buried is so
Speaker 6: that they would the the followers wouldn't have made his
Speaker 6: his gravest memorial and more and martyr to them.
Speaker 5: I think I announced that correctly, they wouldn't treat his
Speaker 5: grave as a holy site.
Speaker 6: And yeah, by now, where he was dropped. His body
Speaker 6: within like a couple of weeks would have been crushed
Speaker 6: and everything, and it would have that the wildlife would
Speaker 6: have feasted upon him. But uh, Like, honestly, I don't
Speaker 6: really understand why they didn't just torch the whole compound
Speaker 6: with the body in it and be damned with it.
Speaker 6: Why give it a bear outca I understand it so
Speaker 6: that it wouldn't be a cultural like hotspot at all.
Speaker 6: But at the same time, he was a terrorist, so
Speaker 6: they don't they don't deserve to rest in peace.
Speaker 1: No, I agree, But there was also a lot of
Speaker 1: civilians that were at the compound with them. I should
Speaker 1: I should say there were some armed guards they were
Speaker 1: dealt with. Of course, there was also a few of
Speaker 1: his wives, if I'm not mistaken, I know at least
Speaker 1: one of his wives was in the bedroom with him.
Speaker 1: But I think two of the.
Speaker 5: Other his sons got killed there too because they were picked.
Speaker 5: But they were combatants, so.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly the enemy combatants got dealt with quickly, But
Speaker 1: there were civilians that were there as well. I'd be
Speaker 1: lying to you if I told you who owned the compound.
Speaker 1: There was. There was reasons why they didn't just torch
Speaker 1: the place, whatever the reason. And this is the thing,
Speaker 1: I'm not a I'm not a military tactician, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I've had buddies that have dealt with
Speaker 1: so common been in so common different roles. I've never
Speaker 1: like talked tactics with them to that level, So I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 5: Can I also ask one other thing.
Speaker 6: Hypothetically, you and your man's all on a firefight. You
Speaker 6: shoot the guy who just shot your buddy and just
Speaker 6: tried to kill you. You shoot him, he has a
Speaker 6: sucking chest, run, he drops his rifle. Why are we
Speaker 6: supposed to give him life? Life for saving aid? Why
Speaker 6: don't we just let him bleed out or put another
Speaker 6: round in him?
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1: That's not okay. What you said is almost true. We
Speaker 1: have to give do I.
Speaker 4: Know who's gonna prove anything. You can say you tried
Speaker 4: to save his ass.
Speaker 1: Truth, But we have to give the equal medical care
Speaker 1: to what he could receive in his area.
Speaker 2: Let's let's keep this into perspective here.
Speaker 8: So if we were.
Speaker 1: I mean, essentially, basically, if we were having a fight
Speaker 1: in France and we had an enemy combatant that went down,
Speaker 1: we have to give them the equal amount of medical
Speaker 1: care that he could receive in that nation. So we
Speaker 1: have to give them like first world care.
Speaker 2: Afghanistan like.
Speaker 1: A little more open to interpretation, you know what I'm like,
Speaker 1: we could give him some opium hope for the best.
Speaker 2: Kind of thing.
Speaker 1: But well, per the Geneva Convention, we do have to,
Speaker 1: you know, give adequate medical care to any person who
Speaker 1: was a combatant and is now not. And I mean
Speaker 1: for certain reasons that could be good. If you could
Speaker 1: save this dude's life and you can get him into
Speaker 1: some group that can interrogate him and we might get
Speaker 1: some decent intel out of him. It might have been
Speaker 1: worth a couple of gauzes in the morphine to keep
Speaker 1: him going right, Okay, And I can understand that in
Speaker 1: another sense, you know.
Speaker 5: Who your money fuck him?
Speaker 2: Agreed, Agreed. It's very very case by case, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna judge somebody for double tapping a guy
Speaker 1: on the ground after they just got done with a firefight.
Speaker 1: But I'm also not gonna judge the doc who took
Speaker 1: the oath to save lives on the battlefield. And I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: that's the shit that like some of the biggest awards
Speaker 1: have been granted for these docs that did the most
Speaker 1: gangster shit and saved their marines lives and then went
Speaker 1: and saved enemy combatants' lives and then took them in
Speaker 1: as prisoners. That's what I'm saying, Like, there are some
Speaker 1: gangsters that have gone above and beyond. I am not
Speaker 1: a medic I am not that gangster. I am a
Speaker 1: different breed. So you know, it's very case by case,
Speaker 1: is all I'm gonna say. And again, if he's got
Speaker 1: a sucking chest wound, do you know what kind of
Speaker 1: medical care they could receive in most of Afghanistan?
Speaker 5: My hope in a fucking player.
Speaker 1: Essentially essentially mean some tile and all, maybe a stretcher,
Speaker 1: some water that's got human shit floating in it, like
Speaker 1: that's the standard. So you give them the standard medical
Speaker 1: care that's available. That's all, you know. But also, because
Speaker 1: we got to try to win the hearts and minds
Speaker 1: of these people, right, we don't want them to see
Speaker 1: us as a occupational invading force. We want them to
Speaker 1: see us as friends, and we're here to help build
Speaker 1: their democracy and teach them about freedom and all these things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't.
Speaker 5: Ideologically, they don't never see us as funds.
Speaker 1: No, and then they don't want freedom, they don't want democracy.
Speaker 1: That these concepts are completely lost on them.
Speaker 5: But they want to be worn with an iron fist.
Speaker 2: It's not that they want that, it's that that's the
Speaker 2: only language they understand.
Speaker 1: That's that for generations, not even like, oh, this one
Speaker 1: person since they were a kid, that's all you've ever seen. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is the only language that this kid's great great
Speaker 1: great grandfather had ever seen all the way through to now.
Speaker 1: It's literally a part of their culture. So it's not
Speaker 1: something that you're gonna uh change in the course of
Speaker 1: two decades. That's that's just not gonna happen. They held
Speaker 1: their elections, that was that was laughable. But anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, getting back to it over here with this
Speaker 1: whole situation, the Order Care was founded by persons connected
Speaker 1: to the Muslim Brotherhood. We talked about that Kars Florida
Speaker 1: and National Chapters, said DeSantis.
Speaker 2: Through his orders to prioritize.
Speaker 1: Serving the Israeli government over serving the people of Florida,
Speaker 1: and of diverting millions in Florida taxpayer dollars to the
Speaker 1: Israeli government bonds. I don't know how much truth there
Speaker 1: is to that, and I also have no idea if
Speaker 1: that has anything to do with the price of tea
Speaker 1: in China over here.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but sure don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a secret that DeSantis is way
Speaker 1: more loyal to Israeli allies than to the Muslim brotherhood.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's like a crazy hot take, but like,
Speaker 1: all right, cool DeSantis and Abbott, it added want quote
Speaker 1: to smear and silence Americans, especially American Muslims, who criticized
Speaker 1: the US support for Israel's war in God. Yeah, most
Speaker 1: Americans at this particular time are over the situation in
Speaker 1: Israel and Goza, which we're gonna talk about here in
Speaker 1: a bit as well. But that's also I don't think
Speaker 1: this is to silence Americans. This is to put certain
Speaker 1: things into perspective from what I can tell here. In
Speaker 1: a separate statement on x Desantas said that the members
Speaker 1: of Florida's legislature are crafting legislation to stop the creep
Speaker 1: of Sharia law, and I hope that they codify these
Speaker 1: protections for Floridians against care and the Muslim Brotherhood in
Speaker 1: their legislation.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 1: I did not know that care And or the Muslim
Speaker 1: Brotherhood had any kind of real foothold in Florida or Texas.
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, Abbot in DeSantis, I feel like
Speaker 1: they stopped giving a fuck somewhere in the nineties. Yeah. Now,
Speaker 1: love them, hate them, feel neutral about them.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: These dudes, they're just kind of doing what they feel
Speaker 1: is right. And they're they're like almost openly asking for
Speaker 1: people to challenge them so they can just bitch slap
Speaker 1: them in some way, shape or form, which in a
Speaker 1: certain regard him here for you know, I can't lie anyway.
Speaker 1: So as we were talking about Venezuela earlier, I thought
Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to talk about this. So the daughter
Speaker 1: of Venezuelan opposition accepts the Nobel Peace Prize. So here's
Speaker 1: the overarching situation here. We talked about Maduro. He's ruling
Speaker 1: Venezuela with somewhat of an iron fists, big socialist government.
Speaker 1: They went from having the one of the world's best
Speaker 1: economies to being one of the world's worst economies in
Speaker 1: the matter of realistically like five years and so right now,
Speaker 1: Maduro is the leader. The opposition is led by a
Speaker 1: woman who just was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and
Speaker 1: no one in Venezuela is talking about it. There's no
Speaker 1: reports being done on it, there's no press being talked
Speaker 1: about on this. This is one of only two Venezuelans
Speaker 1: in human history to ever be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,
Speaker 1: and they're not talking about it because it is directly
Speaker 1: against Maduro. Let's watch this quick clip together, good members
Speaker 1: of the retinue. This price carries profound meaning.
Speaker 4: It reminds the world that democracy is essential to peace.
Speaker 13: Maria Corina Machado is only the second Venezuelan in history
Speaker 13: to win a Nobel Prize, and yet the local government
Speaker 13: is sparing no effort in trying to silence her achievement.
Speaker 13: On Wednesday, for example, the government called for a march
Speaker 13: that including members of the Bolivarian Militia, which is a
Speaker 13: civilian body that helps the Venezuelan military. No television channel
Speaker 13: or radio station inside Venezuela was allowed to carry updates
Speaker 13: or the speech where her daughter accepted the Nobel Prize
Speaker 13: on her bealf, and some of the people that we
Speaker 13: spoke with here told us that they didn't even know
Speaker 13: why she had won. This should come as no surprise
Speaker 13: because the Venezuelan media scene is heavily censored. Over the
Speaker 13: last few queers, the government of authoritarian President Nicolas Gouduro
Speaker 13: has put dozens of journalist in prison, and several media
Speaker 13: are regularly sanctioned for broadcasting messages not aligned.
Speaker 5: With the government propaganda.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's many Venezuelans.
Speaker 13: We're able to follow the ceremony and to celebrate it,
Speaker 13: especially sharing their pride on social media. We're using VIPN
Speaker 13: to access media that is blocked here, but it's.
Speaker 1: Free to take on the internet. Okay, So, like we
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier, Maduro has censored every bit of
Speaker 1: his country. And then you got the Bulevar militia, which
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you have looked into
Speaker 1: the training of this civilian sector. It is not like
Speaker 1: a national guard by any means. These people are getting
Speaker 1: two weeks of a crash course of how to use a.
Speaker 2: Weapon, and then they're given a uniform and.
Speaker 1: If some sort of a land based attack was supposed
Speaker 1: to happen, they are expected to take up arms and
Speaker 1: get after it that if again, I'm not asking for
Speaker 1: America to get involved in a land based attack in Venezuela.
Speaker 1: What I am gonna say is that if that was
Speaker 1: to take place, this would be what we call a
Speaker 1: target rich environment, and uh, there would be a very
Speaker 1: extremely proportional I'm using the American military terms as far
Speaker 1: as that goes, a very proportional response. Uh, it would
Speaker 1: not be pretty. It would be an absolute fucking massacre. Uh.
Speaker 1: But yeah, these people, that's them, Sam, your hand was
Speaker 1: up first. Go ahead, brother, and you gonna go back.
Speaker 6: To that picture of my not at the the the.
Speaker 5: Michael Quick Uh right, yeah, well there.
Speaker 6: Why does he do like the South American Joseph Stalin
Speaker 6: to me, he wishes he was, you see where I'm
Speaker 6: coming from.
Speaker 2: Oh, I absolutely do.
Speaker 1: And I mean when you look at the Marxist ideologies
Speaker 1: that he's put on his country, it's he wishes he was.
Speaker 1: I will say that Stalin was a far are more
Speaker 1: effective leader than Maduro.
Speaker 6: Stalin also let his son die in a Nazi prison
Speaker 6: camp because he said, what what is one one soldier's
Speaker 6: wife over the other.
Speaker 1: Oh No, he was a true blue believer in Marxism,
Speaker 1: like one hundred. But there's also a reason why when
Speaker 1: he was on his deathbed, the Russian people sat there
Speaker 1: and watched him die slowly for days.
Speaker 6: They did they not give him, like, I don't know,
Speaker 6: cocaine or whatever to knock that ship out so he
Speaker 6: can just die quicker.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that Russia allowed drug use in their country.
Speaker 1: And again, he was a true believer in the law
Speaker 1: and other rules. He was a man of his principles.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, Hitley also didn't like the drug use, but boys
Speaker 6: show loved his amphetamines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one of those weird uh uno reversos. Right,
Speaker 1: Like fascists in that context hated drug use. They thought
Speaker 1: it was a scourges of humanity, but they were all
Speaker 1: about their meth chocolate to Blitzkreek.
Speaker 6: But to be fair, that was his doctor was one
Speaker 6: who was intentionally doping him up.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, sure he was.
Speaker 6: If I'm not mistaken. His doctor is also Jewish, if
Speaker 6: I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: His childhood doctor was Jewish.
Speaker 1: His adult Yeah that he actually gave him the title
Speaker 1: of I'm trying to remember that.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like uberminsh it was.
Speaker 1: It was some sort of a title to basically say
Speaker 1: that this guy, although he is a Jew, he's actually
Speaker 1: one of the good ones. He's able. He saved his
Speaker 1: mother from cancer. But that still didn't stop Hitler from
Speaker 1: immediately going to Austria, to his hometown, embombing the absolute
Speaker 1: fuck out of it to destroy all records of his
Speaker 1: parentage because.
Speaker 5: Because his maternal side was Jewish.
Speaker 1: Yes, and per the Jewish law, if you come out
Speaker 1: of a Jewish vagina, you are Jewish. So his his
Speaker 1: mom's side was Jewish and that that was a whole thing. So,
Speaker 1: you know, can't have all those records.
Speaker 6: Is that why he like at allegedly that he committed
Speaker 6: suicide adict because he in the bottom of the bunning
Speaker 6: because he was just like, fuck it, the Holocaust is
Speaker 6: just one long ass suicide.
Speaker 2: I want to kill everybody that looks slight me. That's
Speaker 2: my hot take.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I know that's not a popular opinion, but if
Speaker 1: you look at what he was going for, this pure race,
Speaker 1: blonde hair, blue eyes, so tall, so built, all these things, German,
Speaker 1: non jew all this he was Jewish, he was Austrian.
Speaker 1: He did not have blonde hair, blue eyes. He had
Speaker 1: a very shitty build. He was a failed art student.
Speaker 2: It seems to.
Speaker 6: Me architecture, the drawing and sketching.
Speaker 1: Architect like, he could do straight lines really good, you're right.
Speaker 5: About that, and landscaping. He just could not do faces.
Speaker 5: He could not do portraits.
Speaker 1: But my point is, though, if you look at everything
Speaker 1: that he was trying to get rid of, and then
Speaker 1: you look at everything he actually he was. He hated homosexuality,
Speaker 1: surrounded himself the homosexuals. There, there's tons of these things
Speaker 1: to where it's like just my own personal hot take.
Speaker 1: It seems to me that the entirety of the Holocaust
Speaker 1: was one big, long suicide letter. Although I do not
Speaker 1: believe that he committed suicide in that bunker, just so
Speaker 1: we're clear, I believe he made it to Argentina or
Speaker 1: Venezuela or somewhere in South America.
Speaker 6: So there's a picture of both him and Ava Bond's
Speaker 6: body right before it got torched.
Speaker 5: So the skull in the Russian Museum is.
Speaker 1: Actual, and they thought it was, but it's not.
Speaker 6: No, But the body, the body in the picture that
Speaker 6: is allegedly him. If you do the skit like from
Speaker 6: the picture to scale, that body is three to four
Speaker 6: inches to a shoulder.
Speaker 5: And is something about it.
Speaker 6: Though they also said that one of his body, like
Speaker 6: his most uh, like one of his body doubles like
Speaker 6: that is there with him at the bunker. Even the
Speaker 6: eye color wasn't even the same and everything. So I
Speaker 6: person believe the fuckerho died in Argentina in the middle
Speaker 6: of the fucking jungle because they found a They found
Speaker 6: a hut in the middle of the jungle that the
Speaker 6: entire inside it is a big ass uh it's the
Speaker 6: eagle with the swastika in it, which actually uh, I
Speaker 6: actually had a coin of it one time that was
Speaker 6: given me by a lieutenant Connel and everything.
Speaker 1: So if you look, there is fifty colonies in South
Speaker 1: America that are Nazi colonies, like they still fall in
Speaker 1: the flag, and there's some in Brazil, there's some in Argentina, in.
Speaker 6: Chile, yes, but there's a Confederate colony down in Brazil.
Speaker 1: There's one. There is one Confederate colony in Brazil, that
Speaker 1: is the truth, That is a true statement. But there
Speaker 1: are over there's over fifty Nazi colonies though.
Speaker 5: Is it bad?
Speaker 6: But I'm kind of more fascinated with the Confederate you
Speaker 6: know what colony like, I care more about that one
Speaker 6: wanting to learn about it than I do about the
Speaker 6: Nazi ones.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty interesting story. You ever seen the movie
Speaker 1: Sahara No, with Matthew McConaughey and they're looking for the
Speaker 1: lost iron side boat with all this Confederate gold on
Speaker 1: it and.
Speaker 2: Shit like that.
Speaker 5: No, but that sounds interesting.
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting movie, and it's one of those
Speaker 1: where there's historical references, but it's very up to creative
Speaker 1: liberties and things. I am personally the belief that that
Speaker 1: boat didn't make it to Africa. I am of the
Speaker 1: belief that it made it to Brazil to fund the
Speaker 1: Confederate Colony.
Speaker 5: Just my hot talk, that's more than likely what happened.
Speaker 6: But I also think that it's funny because like gold
Speaker 6: tends to go missing down in South America, Like you
Speaker 6: have the uh what what was it?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 6: Eldlado Uh the City of Lost Gold mm hmm or
Speaker 6: the Lost City of Gold Eldorado.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's yeah.
Speaker 6: Then do you also have a mount mount uh pachu Peach?
Speaker 5: You Mount Peach Yount?
Speaker 6: I think yeah, they just found it and they're still
Speaker 6: excavating it and everything, like I think there might be
Speaker 6: some hitting gold in that thing.
Speaker 2: It's very possible. It's very possible.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's I know that I have weird hot
Speaker 1: takes and that makes me a conspiracy theorist, but it
Speaker 1: is what it is.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I have weird hot takes too.
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that the Nazis created a space
Speaker 6: not a spacecraft, but a a time warping machine in
Speaker 6: the forties and it got launched.
Speaker 1: We are going to do an episode on the Glackie soon, Sam,
Speaker 1: I promise you, I promise you. Anyway, all right, we
Speaker 1: gotta get some more people nation boycott.
Speaker 2: Your hand's been raised, brotherly, go.
Speaker 8: For it, I want to say.
Speaker 4: Nicholas Madero also looks like the South American Saddam Hussein
Speaker 4: a bit right, So I would say, also, what does
Speaker 4: America have against dudes with mustaches?
Speaker 8: Like it's it's a thing conspiracy.
Speaker 1: That's a conspiracy itself, Brookie. In places of power, we
Speaker 1: got to stop that ship.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then on the Bullivar Militia about like earlier, I
Speaker 4: guess they actually do some training alongside the military like
Speaker 4: at regular times. Sure, and they're supposedly like four point
Speaker 4: five million of them.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it's rough.
Speaker 1: It's pretty much anybody who is capable of carrying a
Speaker 1: weapon that can pass the very basics of not even
Speaker 1: like run two miles like it's the qualifications for it
Speaker 1: are not good. And again, these are not like highly
Speaker 1: trained militiamen. They are they're not even weakened warriors. But
Speaker 1: it's it would be a bloodbath. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that like we would fuck them up. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm saying that with a lot of a lot of pity, uh,
Speaker 1: that that would not be a pretty situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can say the same about America's going honors.
Speaker 4: A lot of people have guns but don't train.
Speaker 2: It's very true, it's very true. But I mean that's
Speaker 2: the other thing too.
Speaker 1: If we if we're talking about the amount of guns
Speaker 1: per capita in America, I don't know what that looks like.
Speaker 4: It's much bigger than four point five million, I'll tell
Speaker 4: you that.
Speaker 1: Very much so. And I mean even if it is
Speaker 1: people that are just taking pop shots and ducking off, yo,
Speaker 1: that's that's hundreds of millions of pop shots going off,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But anyway, it rough.
Speaker 2: So sticking onto the Venezuelan conversation.
Speaker 1: Yes, as was brought up earlier, the US has seized
Speaker 1: a Venezuelan oil tanker. This only happened a few hours ago,
Speaker 1: as far as I can tell. Let's learn about this
Speaker 1: one together too.
Speaker 6: Three.
Speaker 2: Now, this is breaking news.
Speaker 14: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to Live at four. We
Speaker 14: begin with breaking news. The United States has seized an
Speaker 14: oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela amid a month
Speaker 14: long buildup of military forces.
Speaker 15: President Trump has confirmed this to reporters this afternoon. The
Speaker 15: vessel was under sanctions. According to Bloomberg, This comes as
Speaker 15: the US military builds up forces around the South American
Speaker 15: country in a bid to remove Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 15: We will bring you to the updates as we get them.
Speaker 1: So again, why are we going to Venezuela. I doubt
Speaker 1: it's for the drugs. I doubt it. I think it's
Speaker 1: a resource grab and to put a person in power
Speaker 1: that's a little more easy to make a.
Speaker 2: Deal happen with America.
Speaker 1: There was a whole thing, was it last year where
Speaker 1: Venezuela was talking about invading Guyana just to the south
Speaker 1: of them, and America was talking about how they throw
Speaker 1: in with Guyana.
Speaker 2: First of all, who the fuck?
Speaker 1: Most people don't even know where Guyana is on a map,
Speaker 1: real shit, they don't, Okay.
Speaker 2: First off?
Speaker 1: Second off, Guyana has some resources that America could you know, get.
Speaker 1: As far as that's concerned, it didn't matter. They were
Speaker 1: going to use that as justification to go in and
Speaker 1: take out Maduro.
Speaker 2: That was all it ever was.
Speaker 1: So now since Venezuela backed off of the whole invasion
Speaker 1: of guy on a bit, now they're looking for another
Speaker 1: reason to justify it. And well, hey, there's some cartels
Speaker 1: that are moving some drugs, and now those are terrorist groups.
Speaker 1: And now we have the president Maduro who was clearly
Speaker 1: funding and arming known terrorist groups per the new definition.
Speaker 2: Of this word.
Speaker 1: So hey, that's justification enough. You know, hell, that was
Speaker 1: justification to us for us to go into Afghanistan. I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: Nation Boycott, I saw your hand was raised. What's up, man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: your hand raised.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say about how that that Guyana stuff.
Speaker 4: He didn't fully like invade them, but he did like
Speaker 4: take over like this oil rich region down there and
Speaker 4: built of his military forces. It was like a disputed area,
Speaker 4: and like he was just like not it's mine, it's
Speaker 4: not disputed anymore. But actually, like Columbia was like, what
Speaker 4: the fuck, dude, when that happens?
Speaker 2: Right, So, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that at this moment, we're looking at any
Speaker 1: reason to get involved in Venezuela. And I said this
Speaker 1: a few years ago, it wouldn't shock me if we
Speaker 1: got into another like our next armed conflict would be
Speaker 1: of Venezuela. People thought it was crazy, people thought I
Speaker 1: was crazy whenever I said that.
Speaker 2: And now here we are.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even saying that it's going to happen
Speaker 1: during Trump's administration, although I think it probably will.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying to what level.
Speaker 1: I don't know to what level this type of kinetic
Speaker 1: warfare will get involved. What I am going to say
Speaker 1: is that if Venezuela goes to war, BRICKS will try
Speaker 1: to get involved in some way, shape or form, which
Speaker 1: means that NATO in turn will try to get involved
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. I don't think it
Speaker 1: will spawn into a World War three. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: it could potentially. That's pretty much all I'm comfortable saying
Speaker 1: on that one as of this moment. Who knows. We
Speaker 1: will see how things shake out. Continuing talking about oil, here,
Speaker 1: Iraq invites US firms to seize Russian oil field prize. Yeah, buddy,
Speaker 1: Apparently American economy is getting back involved with Iraq, and
Speaker 1: there's reasons for this. Mostly has to do with the
Speaker 1: the Russian oil sanctions. Let's talk about it. Iraq has
Speaker 1: invited major US oil companies to develop the giant West
Speaker 1: Kerna two field after Luke Oil's forced exit.
Speaker 2: Luke Oil would be the Russian company.
Speaker 1: Russia and China had built deep energy and political leverages
Speaker 1: in Iraq using oil contracts, pipeline control, and ties to
Speaker 1: our Ran backed groups.
Speaker 2: Here it is, but Western.
Speaker 1: Companies are now regaining ground through major new deals by
Speaker 1: Total Energies, BP, Chevron, and Exxon Mobile.
Speaker 2: So I know for sure that Exon Mobile.
Speaker 1: I think they just struck a deal, but I was
Speaker 1: trying to remember if it was Chevron or Shell. It
Speaker 1: sounds like it was Chevron here that is next in
Speaker 1: line to strike a deal on this extremely oil rich field.
Speaker 1: Let's get in more. Here, it says West Kerna two
Speaker 1: produces nearly ten percent of Iraq's output. An kasus can
Speaker 1: sustain six hundred and thirty five thousand to six hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand barrels per day, and US firms are
Speaker 1: now positioned to take over development. Now I understand there's
Speaker 1: other oil fields out there that can produce more than that. YO,
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty thousand barrels per day out of
Speaker 1: one field.
Speaker 2: That is not chump change. That's Boss moves in so
Speaker 2: many ways.
Speaker 1: And now Exxon Mobile and Chevron and BP are about
Speaker 1: to be the main diggers drillers, I should say, as
Speaker 1: far as it.
Speaker 2: Is concerned, Yeah, that's a move right there.
Speaker 1: Iraqs Oil Ministry has revealed that it has sent out
Speaker 1: exclusive invitations to several major US energy firms to develop
Speaker 1: the country's huge West Kerna two oil field, following the
Speaker 1: withdrawal of Russian oil number too Luke Oil after Washington
Speaker 1: ratcheted up sanctions on Moscow. Direct quote here, it's a
Speaker 1: huge turnaround in the trajectory Iraq had been headed with
Speaker 1: Russia and China, marking a massive win for the US
Speaker 1: and Europe. That's a senior legal source who works closely
Speaker 1: with the US Treasury Department told OilPrice dot Com last week.
Speaker 1: And that's that's what this is is source here. Magnificance
Speaker 1: of this sea change in Iraq's geopolitical leanings can barely
Speaker 1: be overstated. Following the increasing perception among the Iraqi people
Speaker 1: that the US had overstated its welcome after it removed
Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein as its leader in two thousand and three,
Speaker 1: Russia and China, in that order, of course, looked to
Speaker 1: boost their influence across the country for three key reasons. First,
Speaker 1: it offers a huge repository of oil at the world's
Speaker 1: joint lowest average lifting costs of two to four dollars
Speaker 1: per barrel, together with large quantities of associated and non
Speaker 1: associated gas. Second, it occupies the geographical heart of the region,
Speaker 1: lying west of Iran, north of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait,
Speaker 1: east of Jordan and Syria, and with its long Mediterranean coastline,
Speaker 1: offering access to further critical sea routes, and of course
Speaker 1: south of Turkey, affording an entry into the European continent.
Speaker 2: And Third, it is a key member.
Speaker 1: Of the Shia Crescent of power geopolitical art that stretches
Speaker 1: from Iran through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, where Shia communities
Speaker 1: and Iran back groups exert significant influence over the regional politics, economics,
Speaker 1: and security. In short, if you are a global superpower
Speaker 1: or wanna be, Iraq is where you need to be. Which,
Speaker 1: to circle back, is why we got involved in Iraq.
Speaker 2: We didn't care about Saddam. He's using weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 1: The Serenas bombs that he used to bomb the shit
Speaker 1: out of the Kurds to the north were manufactured by
Speaker 1: American scientists in labs in Ukraine. We sold him those
Speaker 1: weapons of mass destruction. If anybody didn't know about that,
Speaker 1: That's exactly how that took place, which is why whenever
Speaker 1: he bombed the fuck out of those Kurds, American politics
Speaker 1: had to turn a blind eye to it because it's like, well,
Speaker 1: where did Sadam develop Serenas? Oh? I I don't know, bro,
Speaker 1: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Wow, No, it was because we did that.
Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, we don't care about
Speaker 1: the Kurds either.
Speaker 2: I do. I like the Kurdish people. I wish Kurdistan
Speaker 2: would become a thing.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna but Saddam truly hated them and used
Speaker 1: them as a scapegoat for some shit that took place
Speaker 1: in this country. That's a long story we're not really
Speaker 1: gonna get into. But my point is we got involved
Speaker 1: with Iraq to protect our foreign interests in oil. And
Speaker 1: this is what we would call the long game, right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't something that we're gonna say a quick turnaround on.
Speaker 1: We took him out in two thousand and three. I
Speaker 1: think if you look at it by the math here,
Speaker 1: we completely took over the country in a matter of months,
Speaker 1: like it wasn't And honestly, the only reason why it
Speaker 1: wasn't weeks like it was during Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it like three weeks or something like that, And
Speaker 1: we had complete control, air superiority and ground superiority of
Speaker 1: the country of Iraq, and then we left. It took
Speaker 1: us months this time because we let politics get in
Speaker 1: the way of a couple of things. The ros were
Speaker 1: a little different, and that's fine whatever. We took over
Speaker 1: the country. He was deposed Cool COO cool, He was
Speaker 1: publicly hanged. The people were super Then we tried to
Speaker 1: set up shop. Then Dick Cheney tried to get involved
Speaker 1: with Halliburton and Kate kbr and that was a whole
Speaker 1: other thing. We just did an episode about that on
Speaker 1: the cult of conspiracy. With the passing of the late
Speaker 1: some would say great, some would not say great, Dick Cheney,
Speaker 1: but neither here nor there. We got involved in Iraq
Speaker 1: because of what was just said. If you are a
Speaker 1: global superpower, which America is the only global superpower left
Speaker 1: or want.
Speaker 2: To be, Iraq is where you need to be.
Speaker 1: So whenever we left Russia and China, which China has
Speaker 1: been trying to become a global superpower for the last
Speaker 1: few decades. Since they can't do it in a military sense,
Speaker 1: because we can getting to that talk another day, they
Speaker 1: are trying to do it from the economic side of things,
Speaker 1: and that's why they have had very strategic business interests
Speaker 1: that have gone around the world. When in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: when the oil field market dropped out, I had a
Speaker 1: buddy of mine that was working in Africa, Africa in
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 2: The one that did the.
Speaker 1: The Congo River crossing, And if anybody doesn't know what
Speaker 1: that is, Chevron basically did this crazy pipe drill that
Speaker 1: went underneath the Congo River. And it's not that it
Speaker 1: was just a pipe under the river. The type of
Speaker 1: engineering that was needed to make this directional pipeline go
Speaker 1: down was mind blowing that they were able to figure
Speaker 1: out how to do this and get it done in
Speaker 1: the time that they did. Chevron did all these things.
Speaker 1: When Chevron pulled out because the oil prices dropped down
Speaker 1: and they could no longer afford to send Americans over there,
Speaker 1: China swooped in and took over the fields. Anywhere where
Speaker 1: American or any European power has had an oil field
Speaker 1: somewhere that they couldn't afford to keep up, China moved
Speaker 1: in and bought it for pennies on the dollar. And
Speaker 1: that's just one industry. They had been doing this with
Speaker 1: every industry of note for the last few decades. Cut
Speaker 1: to they got involved in Iraq whenever we took off,
Speaker 1: and now they're gone, and America's back on the menu. Boys,
Speaker 1: the pace of Moscow and Beijing's involvement across the country
Speaker 1: picked up more picked up the more it looked like
Speaker 1: the US might withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Speaker 1: Action the JCPOA, or the colloquially known the Nuclear Deal,
Speaker 1: which it eventually did in May of twenty eighteen. Just
Speaker 1: before then, Russia had stepped into the chaos caused by
Speaker 1: Iraq's Kurdistans vote for independence in September twenty seventeen. Hey,
Speaker 1: there's the Kurds making their entrance again to enable Rosenft
Speaker 1: ross neft sure effectively to take control of the northern
Speaker 1: region's oil sector through means analyzed in full in the
Speaker 1: latest book by the New Global Oil Market Order. This
Speaker 1: more broadly allowed Russia to create further chaos in the
Speaker 1: political and financial dealings between the semi autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan
Speaker 1: Group in the north and the Federal Government of Iraq
Speaker 1: in the south. This in turn provided Moscow with an
Speaker 1: opportunity to expand its presence in the south, and also
Speaker 1: did the same for its ally China, because Beijing was
Speaker 1: in various stages of a trade war with the US
Speaker 1: at the time, which up until recently and you could
Speaker 1: even argue you still is in a trade war. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it had to tread carefully in a country in which
Speaker 1: the US was still active, which it did by using
Speaker 1: dozens of smaller quote unquote contract only awards on oil
Speaker 1: and gas fields rather than headline grabbing exploration and development awards.
Speaker 1: Once the US formally ended its combat mission in Iraq
Speaker 1: in December of twenty twenty one. Then all brakes were off,
Speaker 1: with China dramatically pushing its new field of acquisitions in
Speaker 1: the south, while Russia consolidated its agitator position in the
Speaker 1: north through Rosnef mainly and in the south including the
Speaker 1: West Kurna two contract of its number two oil producer
Speaker 1: Luke Oil. At the same time, continued US and Allied
Speaker 1: military presence in Iraq became the focus of heightened pressure
Speaker 1: from Iran backed militias, with direct and or indirect support
Speaker 1: from Russia and China, because of course, if I RAN's
Speaker 1: doing something, you know Russia and China are not too
Speaker 1: far behind, including through rocket fire, drone strikes, and roadside bombs.
Speaker 1: The US and other Western oil firms were under further
Speaker 1: pressure on the ongoing exploration and development work due to
Speaker 1: the legacy of endemic corruption running through Iraqs oil and
Speaker 1: gas business, and several began downscale or withdrawal in Iraq,
Speaker 1: including Exo Mobile, Chevron, VP, Shell, Total Energies, and E
Speaker 1: and I. So long story short, these people moved in
Speaker 1: Russian Ukraine or not Russian Ukraine. Russia and Chinese oil
Speaker 1: conglomerates moved in when America completely pulled out. Now with
Speaker 1: all of the sanctions that have been going on as
Speaker 1: far as against Russia, the quote unquote trade war with
Speaker 1: China is over, quote unquote. I don't actually agree with
Speaker 1: that statement, but on paper and per what the media says,
Speaker 1: you know, g and Trump have come to an agreement
Speaker 1: and it seems like everything's all hunky dory again. Don't
Speaker 1: think that's gonna stand for much longer, but it is
Speaker 1: what it is. China is no longer seen as the
Speaker 1: trade enemy that it once was. Given it another a
Speaker 1: few months and they probably will be. Russia absolutely still is.
Speaker 1: And the only thing that's been keeping Russia afloat as
Speaker 1: far as their war goes has been that although they
Speaker 1: couldn't get oil to be shipped from Russian vessels, they
Speaker 1: just flew another flag and went through a third party,
Speaker 1: one of these other countries, one of the stands that
Speaker 1: have you know, port access or whatever, and they were
Speaker 1: still able to sell their Russian oil, maybe a little
Speaker 1: cheaper than what they wanted, but they were still able
Speaker 1: to keep their economy afloat.
Speaker 2: Cut too.
Speaker 1: Now, India has agreed that they will no longer buy
Speaker 1: Russian oil. China has allegedly agreed that they're going to
Speaker 1: do the same. North Korea is always going to buy
Speaker 1: the oil, but it's not like they're using it. They
Speaker 1: don't have any real amenities. But neither here nor there.
Speaker 1: Russia has pretty much gotten the final Finally, the financial
Speaker 1: screws have been put to them, and it's more likely
Speaker 1: that they'll come to the peace negotiations now than ever before.
Speaker 1: But even still, we're gonna get to that conversation here
Speaker 1: in a minute.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I did want to bring this up here.
Speaker 1: Now Iraq is inviting US firms to the formerly Russian
Speaker 1: owned oil fields, so we'll see how that shakes out.
Speaker 1: As far as the American oil prices are concerned. I'm
Speaker 1: stoked on it. So getting next, let's as we are
Speaker 1: talking about Iraq in the Middle East as a whole,
Speaker 1: Israel Gaza live updates here. Allegedly, three hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: nine people have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire.
Speaker 1: Health officials say we're not going to go too far
Speaker 1: with it, but let's read a little bit here. This
Speaker 1: is from ABC News, so at least you know the bias.
Speaker 1: The ceasefire in Gaza is broadly holding with Israel forces
Speaker 1: inside the strip, having pulled back to the so called
Speaker 1: yellow line. Israel Defense Force chief a Yell Zamir said
Speaker 1: the position continues a borderline with Gaza. Sporadic clashes between
Speaker 1: the IDF and Gaza militants, plus deadly IDF air strikes
Speaker 1: continue despite the ceasefire, which is still in the first
Speaker 1: three proposed phases are the first of three proposed phases. Rather,
Speaker 1: the details of the second phase of the agreement are
Speaker 1: not yet to be agreed. Shocker. Israeli strikes are also
Speaker 1: ongoing against alleged Hesbala targets in southern and eastern Lebanon.
Speaker 1: The remains of one deceased hostage are still thought to
Speaker 1: be in Gaza as well. So again, three hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy nine people have been killed since since the ceasefire
Speaker 1: in Gaza. The Hamas Run Ministry of Health in Gaza
Speaker 1: said in a social media post on Wednesday that two
Speaker 1: people were killed by Israeli fire in the previous twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, with the body of one person who was
Speaker 1: killed earlier also recovered. Now I don't know, especially since
Speaker 1: it's the Hamas Run group, but I mean it is
Speaker 1: what it is. You gotta take it with a grain
Speaker 1: of salt, but I'm not saying that there's not still
Speaker 1: people dying in Gaza because of the IDEF. The three
Speaker 1: casualties brought the overall death toll since the ceasefire came
Speaker 1: to effect on October eleventh to three hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: nine people, the Ministry said, with nine hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: two people also wounded. A total of six hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty seven additional bodies have been recovered in that time.
Speaker 1: The Ministry also said the death toll since the war
Speaker 1: began on October seventh now stands at seventy thousand, three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine people, with another one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy one or over one hundred and seventy one thousand wounded.
Speaker 1: Held Officials said they expect to find more victims as
Speaker 1: recovery teams work through rubble in the devastated strip. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there's our live update of what's going on with
Speaker 1: the Israel Gaza situation. I have told you all that
Speaker 1: we're going to stay up to date on what's happening
Speaker 1: with it, and you know, promises made, promises kept, we
Speaker 1: are still going to continue to do that on future
Speaker 1: episodes of The Cajun Night. Now, as we were talking
Speaker 1: about Israel and the whole situation about you know, and
Speaker 1: we're talking about Iraq, we're talking about the Islamic.
Speaker 2: World, I thought this was kind of a weird one here.
Speaker 1: France and the UK are failing to tackle the anti
Speaker 1: migrant activists. What anti migrant activists, you might be asking.
Speaker 1: So migrant support groups in France say they lack action
Speaker 1: over British activists is encouraging violence and xenophobic practices. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Of course the.
Speaker 1: UK and French authorities have been accused of encouraging violence
Speaker 1: and the xenophobic practices by failing to tackle into anti
Speaker 1: immigrant British activists who traveled to northern France in an
Speaker 1: attempt to stop small boat crossings. So here's essentially what's
Speaker 1: happening here. There's a group in Britain called the Raise
Speaker 1: the Colors group which has organized the hanging of Saint
Speaker 1: George and Union flags on lamp posts another street furniture
Speaker 1: across the UK, and they have launched Operation Overlord, a
Speaker 1: reference to the Normandy Normandy landings in the Second World War. Essentially,
Speaker 1: this British group of dudes decided like, look, these people
Speaker 1: keep coming to England on these little small boats and
Speaker 1: vessels through the English Channel, and as soon as they
Speaker 1: step on British soil, they're immediately given the red carpet treatment.
Speaker 1: And if you look at who is making their way across,
Speaker 1: it's not women and children. It is all military aged
Speaker 1: males and the liberal politics. What have you believe? Well,
Speaker 1: that's because they're coming here to set things up to
Speaker 1: bring the women and children obviously, except there's that's not happening.
Speaker 1: It's not happening. This is not something that's only been
Speaker 1: taking place in the last few months. This has been
Speaker 1: taking place over the last few years, and there is
Speaker 1: minimal women and children that have ever been brought over
Speaker 1: in such fashions. It's all military age males. These are
Speaker 1: the same dudes that are called, you know, doing these
Speaker 1: rape gains and throwing acid in women's faces and causing
Speaker 1: an absolute just dystopian reality.
Speaker 2: To become the day and age in Britain.
Speaker 1: Right now, that being said, a group of British civilians decided,
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we just stop it at its source.
Speaker 1: They took a trip to France and they're sitting on
Speaker 1: the beach waiting on a group of dudes to try
Speaker 1: to put a boat in the water so they could
Speaker 1: beat the absolute shit out of them. And I gotta
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'm not that mad at this,
Speaker 1: first of all, because I'm an American and this has
Speaker 1: absolutely no bearing in my day to day operations. But also,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, why don't you take it into
Speaker 1: your own hands. If your government's not gonna do it,
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna try to save your country, you
Speaker 1: should try to say your country and stop it at
Speaker 1: the source. I like it.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: On Friday, members of the group were in France, targeting
Speaker 1: migrants for harassment and searching for dinghies buried in sand
Speaker 1: dunes to destroy. Some were detained by French police for
Speaker 1: their actions. The French association Utopia fifty six, which works
Speaker 1: on beaches in northern France where migrants tried to cross
Speaker 1: the Channel, reported them to police. Yeah, Utopia fifty six
Speaker 1: is apparently the group that's trying to help the terrorists
Speaker 1: make their way to I mean the refugees to make
Speaker 1: their way to England. They were detained for several hours
Speaker 1: before being released. Well, no shit, A Utopia fifty sixsperson said,
Speaker 1: we have been monitoring the social media accounts of these
Speaker 1: various groups daily and reporting them to the public prosecutor
Speaker 1: and prefecture.
Speaker 2: However, even though we hear.
Speaker 1: Our alerts are taken seriously, to date, nothing has been
Speaker 1: done to prevent them from coming to the beaches along
Speaker 1: the coast when the far right advances unchecked human rights
Speaker 1: road Yeah, not exactly. According to Raise the Colors on
Speaker 1: social media, fifty five one hundred people have offered to
Speaker 1: go to France to intervene to stop the boats, something
Speaker 1: it says the UK and French authorities are failing to do.
Speaker 1: Bro you realize how pissed you gotta be to get
Speaker 1: multiple thousands of dudes to get together and decide we're
Speaker 1: gonna not go to work, We're gonna take our own
Speaker 1: money and take a trip to France to commit violence
Speaker 1: on these people because our government's not doing anything to
Speaker 1: help us.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what more there needs to be said.
Speaker 1: Fifty five hundred people have offered to go to France
Speaker 1: to intervene, and apparently some of them have in fact
Speaker 1: done this. Raise the Colors has circulated appeals for stab
Speaker 1: proof vests, plate carriers, high powered torches. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck a high powered torch is, but okay,
Speaker 1: thermal cameras, drones and encrypted radios. It defines itself as
Speaker 1: a true professional civilian border control force ready to take
Speaker 1: control of the beaches. One man who said he was
Speaker 1: ex army posted on a call to ex squatties to
Speaker 1: go and patrol the French beaches to twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: The group is live stream footage of its activities on
Speaker 1: the coast of northern France on social media. Wow, good
Speaker 1: for them, Good for them. You know, we'll keep an
Speaker 1: update on what's going on with the Raise the Colors group.
Speaker 1: But I like it honestly, Sam, go ahead, just so.
Speaker 6: You know that a high fire torch is British for
Speaker 6: a white ass.
Speaker 1: Light, got you, Yeah, they call flashlight torches there, that's right. Okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not gonna say what they call their cigarettes either.
Speaker 5: They are a weird bunch, those red red coats.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that became the slang term for
Speaker 1: a cigarette. They call it that in Ireland. Two, like
Speaker 1: of all the things, like, I mean, I mean.
Speaker 6: It makes sense they are British.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but they're not inherently gay, you know,
Speaker 1: not typically.
Speaker 5: I mean they do have a king, I mean.
Speaker 1: Currently, but he's also not long for this world honestly,
Speaker 1: but either neither here or there. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know how that became the slang term. For a second.
Speaker 5: Wait, isn't the new king Andrew or whatever?
Speaker 6: Wasn't he the one that was fucking the kids on
Speaker 6: Epstein's Island?
Speaker 1: So he was a prince, but he wasn't next in
Speaker 1: line for the throne. The I think it's Harry. I
Speaker 1: forget which one married the girl from California and he
Speaker 1: renounced his titles and all the things. I forget which
Speaker 1: one it was, but yeah, no, the next in line
Speaker 1: would be his.
Speaker 6: Grandma stripped him over his child because he didn't marry
Speaker 6: a blue blood. But yet he was I have more
Speaker 6: respect for him because he had Like he was doing
Speaker 6: an interview, he like he didn't have to be in
Speaker 6: the military or do a comeback, but their base of
Speaker 6: what was getting attacked, and you just see him snatch
Speaker 6: off the mic and tear out running.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, respect respect where it's due to the guy.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, that's also why he was
Speaker 1: kicked out of his role because he was deemed as
Speaker 1: too high value of a target and therefore was actually
Speaker 1: lowering the defensive posture of his unit, which sucks, but
Speaker 1: you know that's the role you were born into. But anyway,
Speaker 1: nation boycott go ahead.
Speaker 4: It was Prince Harry, and really they disowned him because
Speaker 4: his uh Megan Markle, Yeah, it is next race. That's
Speaker 4: why the royal family disowned him.
Speaker 2: So whatever his brother's.
Speaker 4: Name is, it's Prince Harry. And no she's so she's
Speaker 4: half black.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, I'm saying. So he's no longer next
Speaker 1: in line for the throne. Whoever his brother is. I
Speaker 1: got a picture of his face. I cannot remember what
Speaker 1: his name is, but he is supposed to be next
Speaker 1: in line whenever the current king dies.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, No, Prince Harry was the younger one one
Speaker 8: that I got disowned. He was the younger one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was never really in line, but he lost
Speaker 4: like his duke titles in bull.
Speaker 1: Craft, which is fine. He's he's still royalty, still getting
Speaker 1: to check from the family. And if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: he's living in America now living his best life. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it depends on what tabloid you read.
Speaker 4: But and that's Prince William. But have you seen him
Speaker 4: like he rides around his castle on a segue?
Speaker 8: Have you seen pictures of that?
Speaker 6: I have?
Speaker 4: I mean, dude, I've never I'd have one of those.
Speaker 8: I wouldn't do a segue. I'd probably have a hoverboard
Speaker 8: or something.
Speaker 1: I mean probably something, but even still a hoverboard that
Speaker 1: would be a whole other. Look, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But me, dude, I would actually just ride a ripstick around.
Speaker 1: I would have a royal goldplated ripstick that I would
Speaker 1: ride up and down the castle. And oh man, because
Speaker 1: I oh dude, I would be out of breath so much.
Speaker 1: But then also because of just the way I live
Speaker 1: my life, I would be such a bad royal. Like
Speaker 1: it's not even funny. I I hold a noble title,
Speaker 1: and I'm not even that good of a night, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, as far as the combat and
Speaker 1: of the nobility and all these things. But dude, to
Speaker 1: be a royal and get treated like that, there's no way.
Speaker 1: There's no way I could do that. Have like a
Speaker 1: have a grown man brush my teeth for me. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here? You know?
Speaker 4: And they're so steeped in tradition that like, they have
Speaker 4: so many rules and it's wild. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah, So anyway, France and the UK, France
Speaker 1: has already fallen, like that's not even a hot take.
Speaker 2: UK is borderline falling.
Speaker 1: As we speak. And the civilian population decided, you know what,
Speaker 1: since y'all are gonna do anything, we're gonna do something.
Speaker 1: So I hope that we get a very good update
Speaker 1: from these people here soon. Now. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many of you heard about this, but two Russian drunk
Speaker 1: pilots were killed after a sue thirty four bombers ejection
Speaker 1: seats went off inside the hangar, launching them into the
Speaker 1: roof of the hangar, the concrete roof. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a real thing that happened, and even Russian sources have
Speaker 1: confirmed this.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if they were drunk or not.
Speaker 1: It would make sense to me personally they are Russian,
Speaker 1: but let's talk about it here. Two Russian drunk pilots
Speaker 1: have been killed after being ejected from their aircraft as
Speaker 1: it sat inside a hangar, sending them hurtling into a
Speaker 1: concrete roof. Russian media reported that the aircraft was stationary
Speaker 1: and the system was quote unquote suddenly triggered. What suddenly
Speaker 1: triggered it? You might ask? Is it because the the
Speaker 1: sue was the Suit thirty seven or Suite thirty four?
Speaker 2: Rather? Is it because the Suite thirty four is an
Speaker 2: absolute piece of flying shit?
Speaker 5: Could be?
Speaker 1: Could be? Or is it more likely that these two
Speaker 1: assholes were fucking around and pulled up on the cord
Speaker 1: when they weren't supposed to, and the plane did what
Speaker 1: the plane was supposed to do.
Speaker 2: It was it was an equipment malfunction?
Speaker 1: Was it? Was it?
Speaker 5: Really?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: In a similar accident in twenty twenty one a TU
Speaker 1: twenty two M three bomber near Coluga, a drunk pilot
Speaker 1: ejected his seat, killing three personnel on the ground. Most
Speaker 1: most such accidents are associated with system failures or human error.
Speaker 1: I know, while what on that one? Intense combat, stress, fear,
Speaker 1: and trauma often lead to Russian soldiers to use alcohol
Speaker 1: for coping, lowering inhibitions and boosting confidence. A phenomenal scene
Speaker 1: in Russian servicemen. Why what that's crazy? What intense combat
Speaker 1: will lead people to drink?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: It's crazy? Anyway? Yes, A long story short, I thought
Speaker 1: this is a funny one to pilots, whether they were
Speaker 1: drunk or not.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they got toxicology reports back.
Speaker 1: From these individuals, but I will say that it has
Speaker 1: been confirmed that these two assholes launched themselves into the
Speaker 1: concrete dome. And yeah, they're no longer with us now
Speaker 1: that being said, talking about Russia in the whole situation here,
Speaker 1: Apparently there is a secret operation plan in Germany, or
Speaker 1: at least based from Germany, which details how NATO would
Speaker 1: fight Russia. This was developed last year, but a source
Speaker 1: has blown the lid off of it and basically is
Speaker 1: pointing out that NATO is planning to if if needed,
Speaker 1: they would plan to send eight hundred thousand troops and
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand pieces of equipment into Germany to spearhead
Speaker 1: and attack into Russia.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about it here.
Speaker 1: Germany has begun to implement a top secret plan detailing
Speaker 1: how eight hundred thousand troops would be mobilized in a
Speaker 1: war with Russia if it attacked an ETO country. The
Speaker 1: twelve hundred page blueprint, called Operation Planned Germany or Opland,
Speaker 1: was detailed by Wall Street Journal weeks after German Chancellor
Speaker 1: Frederick Murrz warned of uncertain times ahead. The threats are real,
Speaker 1: he told business leaders in September. We're not at war,
Speaker 1: but we no longer live in peacetime.
Speaker 2: Long story short.
Speaker 1: The dossier outlines the civilian infrastructure that it would form
Speaker 1: key assets for moving troops to an eastern front in
Speaker 1: the event of war. It details which ports, rail networks,
Speaker 1: river routes and roads that would become part of NATO's
Speaker 1: war machine. With Germany expected to be a staging ground
Speaker 1: for troops from the European Ally and the US, top
Speaker 1: German officials have been publicly stating that war with Russia
Speaker 1: was on the horizon, as an invasion of Ukraine continues
Speaker 1: more than three years on. This week, Germany's Foreign Minister
Speaker 1: Johann Waddelful hope I'm pronouncing that right. Votalful stated new
Speaker 1: intelligence showed Russia was preparing to attack a NATO member
Speaker 1: before the end of the decade. This is a direct
Speaker 1: quote from his post on x Putin Eyes the EU
Speaker 1: and NATO, our intelligence services are issuing urgent warnings. At
Speaker 1: the very least, Russia is creating the option for itself
Speaker 1: to wage war against NATO by twenty twenty nine. We
Speaker 1: have to deter further Russian aggression together with our partners
Speaker 1: and allies. These divisions, without a doubt, have their sights
Speaker 1: set on us, on the European Union, on NATO. The
Speaker 1: threat to our country from Russia is no longer a
Speaker 1: distant concern, it is already a reality. So long story short,
Speaker 1: this secret plan, if you want to call it, that
Speaker 1: was finally released and they are showing how if this
Speaker 1: was to take place, they already have the plans implemented
Speaker 1: to make an eight hundred thousand troop movement staged and
Speaker 1: ready to take off from Germany, which I think is
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable, and not just that the fact that this
Speaker 1: many would be ready to go that quickly, but the
Speaker 1: fact that they already had the plan laid out, which
Speaker 1: is mind blowing to me. But anyway, let's get into
Speaker 1: this next article from CNN talking about Russia, talking about
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine. Ukraine presents response to US peace plan.
Speaker 1: As Trump says, European leaders want a meeting. So it
Speaker 1: depends on what week that we look at the situation
Speaker 1: with Russia and Ukraine. But some would say that Zelensky
Speaker 1: has been ready for peace for quite some time, and
Speaker 1: Russia keeps saying no. Then every time Russia looks like
Speaker 1: it's ready to come to the peace table, something else
Speaker 1: takes place. So Russia delivered I'm sorry. Ukraine delivered its
Speaker 1: response to the latest UF drafted peace proposal aimed at
Speaker 1: any of the war with Russia to the Trump administration
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, US and Ukrainian officials told CNN as the
Speaker 1: contours of a tenuous potential deal took shape, and the
Speaker 1: US president continued to make clear he wants the conflictors
Speaker 1: off quickly. Efforts to end the year's long war have
Speaker 1: sharply accelerated in recent weeks. President Trump on Wednesday suggested
Speaker 1: a solution could soon be figured out, telling reporters at
Speaker 1: the White House that a lot of people say it's
Speaker 1: closer than it's ever been. Well, especially now that Russia
Speaker 1: just lost its Iraqi oil fields. I feel like that
Speaker 1: can't be understated, he said, discuss Ukraine in pretty strong
Speaker 1: words with his British, French, and German counterparts, whom he
Speaker 1: said have floated the idea of Trump flying to Europe
Speaker 1: for a meeting along with Ukrainian resident Zelensky. This weekend.
Speaker 1: We'll make a determination depending on what they come back with.
Speaker 1: Trump said, we don't want to be wasting time. A
Speaker 1: European diplomat also described discussions as progressive, progressing quickly amid
Speaker 1: continuing pressure and impatience from the US President. There has
Speaker 1: been a frenzy of diplomacy following the revelation less than
Speaker 1: a month ago of a US drafted Russian backed twenty
Speaker 1: eight point draft proposal to the war.
Speaker 2: We talked about that a little bit last week.
Speaker 1: After a series of consultations with Kiev and a meeting
Speaker 1: in Moscow, the twenty eight point plan was wind winnowed
Speaker 1: down to a twenty point meant to make it palatable
Speaker 1: to both warring parties. It is among a set of
Speaker 1: three documents being negotiated, along with one on security guarantees
Speaker 1: and another on economic recovery. Zelenski said he had a
Speaker 1: meeting on the latter on Wednesday. Discussions are ongoing, and
Speaker 1: in this it is unclear what changes, if any, Kiev
Speaker 1: made to the documents in its latest response. However, two
Speaker 1: European diplomats familiar with the contents of the twenty point
Speaker 1: draft said it proposed the creation of a demilitarized zone
Speaker 1: along the line of contact, and there we have it.
Speaker 1: We were saying this whole time that it's more than
Speaker 1: likely that a DMZ very similar to in North and
Speaker 1: South Korea is going to be formed along the borderline
Speaker 1: of what has been taken by Russia and what is
Speaker 1: currently still owned by Ukraine.
Speaker 2: So I honestly think that that's going to be the
Speaker 2: only way moving forward.
Speaker 1: But we shall see. Right, It's called for security guarantees
Speaker 1: for our Ukraine in line with NATO's Article five, which
Speaker 1: calls for mutual defense of NATO allies. It proposes membership
Speaker 1: for Ukraine in the European Union by twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Good things. It removes language burying, I'm sorry, it removes
Speaker 1: language barring Ukraine from ever joining NATO. Instead, it does
Speaker 1: not mention potentially Ukrainian membership in the Defense Alliance. It
Speaker 1: also calls for elections in Ukraine, something both Trump and
Speaker 1: the Kremlin have raised. Zelenski has said he would be
Speaker 1: open to holding elections in the next sixty to ninety
Speaker 1: days if security could be guaranteed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's dude.
Speaker 1: He was an actor, he was a comedian, and he
Speaker 1: got elected to president because you know, he was very
Speaker 1: well liked by his people. Then he found himself in
Speaker 1: god such a clusterfuck of a war that he specifically
Speaker 1: he didn't ask for, and now he's left to field
Speaker 1: it per the Ukrainian constitution. And I know so many
Speaker 1: people why as the Ukraine held elections because Zelensky is
Speaker 1: such a despot. Per the Ukrainian constitution, they cannot hold
Speaker 1: elections when there is open warring conflict being done in
Speaker 1: their land. So even if Zelensky wanted to hold elections
Speaker 1: by their constitution, he couldn't have this entire time. And
Speaker 1: I know people are going to disagree with that statement.
Speaker 2: Look look it up. That's not allowed in Ukrainian law.
Speaker 1: So he is saying, look, if security could be guaranteed,
Speaker 1: have an election. Take this job from me. Let me
Speaker 1: go back to being a funny guy on TV. I'm
Speaker 1: over this shit, which I can at least appreciate. According
Speaker 1: to the diplomats, the updated twenty point draft contained elements
Speaker 1: from the twenty eight point that are still likely to
Speaker 1: draw concern from Ukrainians and Europeans. Among them are formal
Speaker 1: US recognition of Russian occupied territory. This would mark a
Speaker 1: stunning reversal of long standing US policy to acknowledge Ukraine's
Speaker 1: territorial integrity and not recognize forcible changes in territory. The
Speaker 1: latest US proposal also calls for a personnel cap of
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand on Ukraine military, a small increase from
Speaker 1: the six hundred thousand person cap in the twenty eight
Speaker 1: point plan. So okay, So even then, from twenty eight
Speaker 1: point to twenty point these two plans here they went
Speaker 1: from six hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand. I like it.
Speaker 1: I like it. I want countries to have strong militaries.
Speaker 1: It also describes the US and Russia deciding the fate
Speaker 1: of Russia's frozen assets. Even as negotiations continue, there is
Speaker 1: recognition inside the US government that among allies that the
Speaker 1: discussions are fragile and issues like land concessions could stemy
Speaker 1: the peace efforts. There is still no sign that Russian
Speaker 1: President Putin actually wants a peace settlement. However, European and
Speaker 1: NATO officials have said this, if there is a way
Speaker 1: to bridge the divide between the two sides, we're the
Speaker 1: only ones in the world that can do it, and
Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to do. That Secretary of State
Speaker 1: Mark or Rubio said last week. Ultimately, it's going to
Speaker 1: be up to them. If they can decide that they
Speaker 1: don't want to end the war, then the war will
Speaker 1: just continue. So again, sounds like Zelenski's willing to play ball,
Speaker 1: but Putin is. There's no indication that Putin's even willing
Speaker 1: to come to the peace talks right now. Shocker. All right,
Speaker 1: now we're gonna jump over to Asia Southeast age to
Speaker 1: be more exact.
Speaker 2: Japan earthquake live.
Speaker 1: New trimmor measuring five point seven magnitude hits days after
Speaker 1: a megaquake warning was issued. The megaquake warning covers approximately
Speaker 1: eight hundred miles from Chiba to Hokkaido.
Speaker 2: I hope I pronounce those words right.
Speaker 1: An earthquake measuring five point seven on the Richter scale
Speaker 1: has been recorded off the coast of Japan's main island,
Speaker 1: two days after a trimmer measuring seven point five goal
Speaker 1: So just back to back massive quakes here. It is
Speaker 1: not yet clear how much damage the latest earthquake has caused,
Speaker 1: but it comes as the north and east of the
Speaker 1: country are on high alert. Monday night's earthquake injured at
Speaker 1: least fifty one people, according to the Firing Disaster Management Agency.
Speaker 1: It also triggered widespread tsunami warnings, with waves up to
Speaker 1: seventy centimeters reported in several coastal communities. I speak freedom
Speaker 1: units of not one hundred percent of how big seventy
Speaker 1: centimeters is. I feel like that's probably like like six feet.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. The quake struck at
Speaker 1: around eleven to fifteen pm in the Pacific Ocean, roughly
Speaker 1: fifty miles off the coast of a moriy. On Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Japan's weather agency issued its highest level warning that a mega.
Speaker 2: Quake could follow Monday's initial.
Speaker 1: Trimmer and megaquake is an earthquake measuring eight point zero
Speaker 1: or higher. The warning covers approximately eight hundred miles, stretching
Speaker 1: from Japan's northeastern coast of Chiba to just east of
Speaker 1: Tokyo to Hokkaido. Tuesday's notice was the first time this
Speaker 1: top tier alert has been issued since the warning system
Speaker 1: was launched in twenty twenty two. So, like I brought
Speaker 1: up in the very beginning of this episode, Japan experience
Speaker 1: a seven point five two days later, a five point seven,
Speaker 1: that is that is detrimental and keep in mind that's
Speaker 1: the whole reason why the Fukushima nuclear plant had the
Speaker 1: crack happened was because of a tsunami caused by an earthquake.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how bad the extent of the
Speaker 1: damages with these two quakes.
Speaker 2: It just took place.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that everything is okay.
Speaker 2: But I'm also not very optimistic here, Sam, go ahead.
Speaker 5: He said in twenty twenty two, correct.
Speaker 1: That's when the system came online for this, like high
Speaker 1: alert for megaquakes.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's also the year that the creator of yugyo
Speaker 6: Oh drown.
Speaker 2: Oh, so he died.
Speaker 1: Do you know if it was a died as a result?
Speaker 1: He said it was from a rip current? Was it
Speaker 1: from the earthquake in the tsunami wave that happened? Uh?
Speaker 6: I am looking at his the time of his death
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 5: It happened July fourth of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 6: And so I even dropped the I took a screenshot
Speaker 6: and I dropped it in chat Okay, So he passed
Speaker 6: away like at sixty.
Speaker 5: He's at sixty year old.
Speaker 6: This man dove in to try to save three other people,
Speaker 6: so I had that they all survived, but he passed away.
Speaker 5: That man is a hero.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find where you put it in the chat?
Speaker 1: Was it earlier?
Speaker 16: Was it?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know, I'll drop it again just in case is
Speaker 2: an article.
Speaker 5: Uh No, it's straight from the uh.
Speaker 1: I just dropped screenshot. All right, let's see. Let's let's
Speaker 1: see up up up load boom. Uh oh, Jesus, my
Speaker 1: computers did something weird here.
Speaker 2: Can you see the screen?
Speaker 1: Stiller?
Speaker 2: Now, yes, sir, okay, great, let's talk about it here.
Speaker 1: On July sixth, twenty twenty two, Takahashi was found dead
Speaker 1: in the water three hundred meters off the shore of
Speaker 1: Nago Okinawa, Wow by Japan Coast Guard officers following a
Speaker 1: civilian report from a passing boat. He was found wearing
Speaker 1: storkling gear, and his cause of death was determined to
Speaker 1: be drowning. Later reports state of that tak Takahashi had
Speaker 1: died in the afternoon of July fourth while assisting in
Speaker 1: rescue of three others who were caught in a rip current.
Speaker 5: And one of them was a US service member.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 6: So that's even more that that that's even more symbolic
Speaker 6: because it's the both of the birth of America. But
Speaker 6: it's a Japanese Uh, one of one of my favorite
Speaker 6: ones anyway, jumped in to save them.
Speaker 5: And I don't know, man, it's like, uh, things are
Speaker 5: finally healing and everything.
Speaker 6: And it means something little bit extra to me, I
Speaker 6: guess because it's like both of my sides are helping
Speaker 6: each other and it's symbolic to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could hear that for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, r I p to the creator of Yu gi
Speaker 1: Oh who died a hero absolutely.
Speaker 6: At sixty at sixty and he went out like like
Speaker 6: a true he dog.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely rip. Now let's get into this BBC article
Speaker 1: Japan protests after Chinese fighter jets lock radar on Japanese planes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as we're talking about Southeast Asia, we're talking about Japan,
Speaker 1: we're talking about China and all these things. So here
Speaker 1: it was Japan had some jets that were running some
Speaker 1: training operations in international waters. They were not in some
Speaker 1: you know, contested air zone by any means, and Japan
Speaker 1: out there flying their jets just doing their thing, had
Speaker 1: Chinese fighter jets lock onto them. Yeah, Japan has protested
Speaker 1: after Chinese fighter jets locked radars on Japanese aircraft as
Speaker 1: tension between the two nations worsened. Locking radar onto an
Speaker 1: aircraft is considered a threat because it can signal a
Speaker 1: potential attack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Japan said there were two such incidents Saturday off its
Speaker 1: southern Okinawa Islands. Japan said it scrambled fighter jets in
Speaker 1: response to the Chinese J fifteen fighter jets, while Beijing
Speaker 1: accused Tokyo of quote unquote harassing its forces during a
Speaker 1: training exercise. No injuries or damage were reported. Obviously, so
Speaker 1: the diplomatic ties between Japan and China have spiraled since
Speaker 1: last month after Japanese Prime Minister Seney Takashi hope i
Speaker 1: pronounce that right, suggested that Tokyo could take military action
Speaker 1: in Beijing attack Taiwan, which he did and which they should.
Speaker 1: Beijing views it self governed Taiwan or views self governed
Speaker 1: Taiwan as part of its territory, and has not ruled
Speaker 1: out the use of force to quote unquote reunite with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they really just need to let it go. Honestly, both
Speaker 1: sides have since engaged in an increasingly hostile rhetoric towards each other,
Speaker 1: With the widening riff affective affecting daily life for citizens
Speaker 1: in both countries. Last week, China and Japan's coastguards gave
Speaker 1: conflicting accounts of a confrontation near disputed islands in the
Speaker 1: East Chinese Sea. Okay, so now we have this situation
Speaker 1: going on with these jets. A Japanese Defense Ministry officials
Speaker 1: said the intention of the Chinese JA fifteen jets was unclear,
Speaker 1: but added that there was no need to onto Japanese
Speaker 1: planes if their intention.
Speaker 2: Was to locate other aircraft.
Speaker 1: Agreed. The J fifteen jets, which were launched from China's
Speaker 1: laon Layoning Laiing Sure aircraft carrier, first locked its radar
Speaker 1: on Japanese jets at sixteen thirty two local time, which
Speaker 1: is four thirty two to the civilians out there on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and again at around eighteen thirty seven, which is six
Speaker 1: thirty seven, so basically two hours apart from each other
Speaker 1: they locked onto these jets. The official added that the
Speaker 1: Chinese or the Japanese aircraft did not do anything that
Speaker 1: could be considered a provocation.
Speaker 2: Is extremely regrettable.
Speaker 1: Japan has strongly protested Chinese side, and we have firmly
Speaker 1: requested measures to prevent reoccurrence, Takashi told reporters Sunday in
Speaker 1: a in the Wajima ishi Ishikawa Prefecture. Yeah, we will
Speaker 1: respond calmly and resolutely. The Chinese Navy, however, said Japan's
Speaker 1: claim was completely inconsistent with the facts shocker, and told
Speaker 1: Tokyo to immediately stop.
Speaker 2: Slandering and smearing.
Speaker 1: It added that its training exercise in the area had
Speaker 1: been previously announced. Okay, no one's disputing that Japan wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to provoke the Japanese situation. They were out there
Speaker 1: doing their own training mission. Everybody knew each other was there.
Speaker 1: But the Chinese jets still decided to lock on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not good. That's really not good. That's a That's
Speaker 1: kind of like pointing a weapon if you will. You're
Speaker 1: not putting your finger on the trigger. The weapons still
Speaker 1: may be on safe, but you're still pointing the barrel,
Speaker 1: and that's not good for business. You know, that could
Speaker 1: be taken as a threat, and most people would take
Speaker 1: it as a threat. This comes two weeks after Japan
Speaker 1: scrambled aircraft when they suspected Chinese drone was detected off
Speaker 1: yong Yo Naguni, Okay, near Taiwan Tokyo has said it
Speaker 1: is planning to deploy missiles from yan Naguni, in a
Speaker 1: move that has angered Beijing. A month of heightened have
Speaker 1: seen China ask its citizens to avoid traveling to Japan shocker.
Speaker 1: China has also banned the importation of seafood from Japan
Speaker 1: and suspended the screening of popular Japanese films. Bro China
Speaker 1: is starving. They don't need to be putting any kind
Speaker 1: of restrictions on how much food they can get right now.
Speaker 1: But sure, yeah, go ahead, gee starve your people some more.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a good thing. That's never gone wrong
Speaker 1: before in history anyway. All right, next topic of discussion.
Speaker 1: While we are still sticking to the Southeast Asia Central
Speaker 1: area here, Thailand and Cambodia keep fighting across contested border
Speaker 1: ahead of expected Trump calls. You know, there is a
Speaker 1: little a little video here. Let's let's listen in on
Speaker 1: this one and see what we can learn from it.
Speaker 17: In ten months, I ended eight wars, including Kosovo, Serbia,
Speaker 17: Pakistan and India. They were going at it, Israel and
Speaker 17: a Ron, Egypt and Ethiopia. You didn't know about that,
Speaker 17: Armenia and Azerbaijan, and I hate to say this one
Speaker 17: named Cambodia Thailand that started up today tomorrow, I have
Speaker 17: to make a phone call, and I think they'll get
Speaker 17: his Who else could say, I'm going to make a
Speaker 17: phone call and stop a war of two very powerful
Speaker 17: countries Thailand and Cambodia.
Speaker 1: Are they going at it again? But I'll do it.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So he's talking about how Trump is talking about how
Speaker 1: he is going to be the one to calm down
Speaker 1: the fighting list and the fight he's been going on
Speaker 1: there for a little while over border disputes. And I
Speaker 1: really don't know if Trump is going to have any
Speaker 1: pull in that regard. We can hope. Before I read
Speaker 1: the article, Sam go ahead, Sam oh okay, talk with
Speaker 1: that bum anyway. This is from Bangkok. Fighting between Thailand
Speaker 1: and Cambodia entered its fourth day on Thursday, as both
Speaker 1: sides waited for a promised telephone call from US President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, who says he believes he can again in
Speaker 1: the conflict between the two Southeast Asian nations. On Wednesday,
Speaker 1: clashes at more than a dozen locations along the the
Speaker 1: eight and seventeen kilometer Thai Cambodian border saw some of
Speaker 1: the most intense fighting since a five day battle in July,
Speaker 1: which was the worst conflict in recent history. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna read the entire thing I want to here. Trump's
Speaker 1: basically saying he could end the war. We've talked about
Speaker 1: the Cambodia Thailand situation a good bit from you know,
Speaker 1: from past episodes here, but here are here's a map
Speaker 1: of all of the border classes that have taken place.
Speaker 1: It wasn't in one area, although there was two main
Speaker 1: spots in the north or north of Cambodia southeast of
Speaker 1: Thailand where they had the most fighting take place, but
Speaker 1: even all the way down on the coastline the southernmost
Speaker 1: point for Thailand and almost the westernmost point for Cambodia,
Speaker 1: they saw border classes there too. So again Thailand and
Speaker 1: Cambodia are back on the warpath against each other over
Speaker 1: these border disputes. I don't know what to really expect
Speaker 1: here of the two, I have my preferred country, but
Speaker 1: that's just speaking on my own biases here. I don't
Speaker 1: know what either one is really wanting to gain from this,
Speaker 1: other than more land and more territorial issues. But these
Speaker 1: countries have had beef with each other for quite some time.
Speaker 1: It's boiling over and it has been for months and months.
Speaker 1: There was a lull in the fighting for a couple
Speaker 1: of months there, but there was still some uneasy tensions.
Speaker 1: There was firefights and skirmishes that were taken off. Even
Speaker 1: from July to now, there's been a few firefights that
Speaker 1: have taken place. Don't get me wrong, but yeah, apparently
Speaker 1: this is a big offensive that has taken place. Right now,
Speaker 1: we'll see if it spawns off into something even more detrimental.
Speaker 2: All right, now, we are.
Speaker 1: Getting to the end of this episode and I wanted
Speaker 1: to end this on a more positive note. Although some
Speaker 1: people might take it as a not good thing, I
Speaker 1: personally think it's a positive that I wish all countries
Speaker 1: would start doing. This is from the BBC. Australia has
Speaker 1: banned social media for kids under sixteen. How will it work?
Speaker 1: As of time of recording, it took effect today. If
Speaker 1: you are sixteen years old in Australia or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: if you are fifteen and under and you have some
Speaker 1: sort of a social media account, you must, by federal law,
Speaker 1: deactivate it, delete it, block it, whatever the case. You
Speaker 1: are not allowed to be on social media until you
Speaker 1: are sixteen years old, and I personally agree with this
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Now, some people will say that this is,
Speaker 1: you know, infringing on the freedoms right, and it should
Speaker 1: be up to these children's parents to decide if they
Speaker 1: can or cannot be on social media.
Speaker 2: I hear that. I hear that, and there's something to
Speaker 2: be said there. One hundred percent.
Speaker 1: That being said, parents do not do their due diligence
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time when it comes to
Speaker 1: the amount of Internet and the activities that their children
Speaker 1: are doing on them. And there is more predatory behavior
Speaker 1: now than ever before throughout human history, specifically on social
Speaker 1: media targeting the youth. I think this is an inherent
Speaker 1: good and I wish that every country would pass very
Speaker 1: similar legislation to where you're not allowed to have a
Speaker 1: social media account of any regard until you I personally
Speaker 1: would say until you're an adult, but I would make
Speaker 1: the concession to sixteen. Personally, that's just my hot take
Speaker 1: before we read the article, Sam, go ahead.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to disagree, and it's mostly because I
Speaker 6: I have I had a Facebook since I was like
Speaker 6: seven or eight or whatever.
Speaker 5: But I've used it.
Speaker 6: I've used social media and everything to stay in contact
Speaker 6: with family. That's that's all over the day, all over
Speaker 6: the country, and all I think that the parents, it
Speaker 6: should be up to the parents. I believe that it
Speaker 6: should be the parents should have more of the the
Speaker 6: more of a hens on approach with their children and
Speaker 6: their the ices. Though I do understand the the thought
Speaker 6: concept and everything, like, because I remember Gorgish and livelys
Speaker 6: was a thing in high school and everything. Like, I
Speaker 6: kind of regret seeing the chain sign cartel video as
Speaker 6: young as I did, But then again, I've seen much
Speaker 6: worse than like actual life. So it's like, there's always
Speaker 6: gonna be there's always gonna be evil. And you said
Speaker 6: that there's more predatory stuff. Yes, that is true. At
Speaker 6: the social media is accessible for it. But at the
Speaker 6: same time.
Speaker 5: You if you start to obstruct.
Speaker 6: You start to restrict things that can easy thought that
Speaker 6: that can easy be a foot heel of saying Okay,
Speaker 6: we're gonna censor this speech in this speech because that's
Speaker 6: offensive to the children's and that that's a quick and
Speaker 6: way for us.
Speaker 5: To become just like the UK.
Speaker 1: I hear this, and I absolutely see that it could
Speaker 1: be a slippery slope to impede on free speech and
Speaker 1: all the things. I fully hear this, but dude, the
Speaker 1: fact that you had a Facebook page at seven years old,
Speaker 1: that is mind blowing to me.
Speaker 6: Keep in mind, my mother, my mother had the pastord,
Speaker 6: my mother had the email and everything to get into it.
Speaker 1: And I get that, but I mean, like you said,
Speaker 1: we can also agree that there's more predators online now
Speaker 1: than there was ten years ago, twenty years ago, whatever
Speaker 1: the case.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: See, and though I think that we shouldn't take it
Speaker 6: out on the children, we should look more into those
Speaker 6: and hey, if you get convicted of said crime, you
Speaker 6: ex out from society, we throw you in the desert
Speaker 6: and bare your it deep.
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, we should be having way harsher punishments
Speaker 1: for those that hurt children.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent agreement with this too.
Speaker 1: But also milkstone.
Speaker 5: Amun the neck can toss him in the sea.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: That being said, kids are stupid, and that's why roadblocks,
Speaker 1: for instance, I can't believe they're so fair fair, but
Speaker 1: kids are ignorant, and they're they're blissfully ignorant. It's not
Speaker 1: because they're you know, oh, they're just lower IQ. They
Speaker 1: haven't experienced enough things to know what actual danger looks
Speaker 1: like online just yet. That's why Roadblocks has so many
Speaker 1: lawsuits against it right now, because there are rooms where
Speaker 1: predators are finding these children and Roadblocks is protecting them.
Speaker 1: But somehow parents are still completely cool with their kids
Speaker 1: playing Roadblocks for eight hours every day whenever they get
Speaker 1: home from school until it's time for bed.
Speaker 6: That Also, I have personally seen some weird shit on
Speaker 6: Roadblocks and everything. My buddy he has it because he
Speaker 6: goes after the shit like that and sends it to
Speaker 6: the police and everything.
Speaker 1: Right, that's like.
Speaker 5: It the ship that is on that makes my skin crawl.
Speaker 6: And also there was a game just taking off of
Speaker 6: Steam that they get around of it. It's it's an
Speaker 6: adult game and everything, but it's drawn cute seeing all
Speaker 6: the characters are quote nine thousand years old, but they're
Speaker 6: they it's children. The characters are based off of actual
Speaker 6: photos of children, and you can get everything that you
Speaker 6: want in there to do to those children.
Speaker 5: They took that off of the thing. Well, I think
Speaker 5: is go figure out, put it back up, let let
Speaker 5: people buy it. But if you buy they buy it,
Speaker 5: you immediately go to their thing take the hard drive
Speaker 5: and you put them in prison.
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, fair, but there's still more predators out there.
Speaker 1: And it's I don't see social media for children as
Speaker 1: an inherent good thing.
Speaker 2: I never have.
Speaker 1: I'm not allowing my children. My son wants to start
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel, and he wants to do it for gaming, right,
Speaker 1: and he will never have his face on there and
Speaker 1: all these things. And he asked me to show him
Speaker 1: how to do these things. Straight up, I told him, like, look,
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm allowing that, Like, absolutely no way.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, come on, there's all these kids that
Speaker 1: are making this money doing YouTube stuff.
Speaker 2: I could be one of them. I hear it. I
Speaker 2: absolutely do.
Speaker 1: And I love that he is trying to capitalize in
Speaker 1: that way. But as a dad, there's no way I'm
Speaker 1: going to allow that, at least until he's sixteen, and
Speaker 1: I mean help, maybe not even then. And it's not
Speaker 1: because I don't trust him. It's because I know how
Speaker 1: horrible the internet can be and I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: open a door for that. Again, people have a lot
Speaker 1: of difference of opinions on this. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: say that parents that allow their children to do these
Speaker 1: things are bad parents. I'm saying that it is such.
Speaker 1: It's an open door for so much evil that these
Speaker 1: kids don't need. Yeah, but but I also could understand
Speaker 1: the argument to say that making it a law isn't
Speaker 1: in friend on freedoms and rights. I see that too.
Speaker 6: But you also remember when I was when I had
Speaker 6: my my Facebook page and everything as a young and
Speaker 6: there it was a jitimmy on a laptop. There was
Speaker 6: no mobile, and all I did was play Farmville. Yeah
Speaker 6: so I was still a kid playing kid games.
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. But yeah, so, I mean,
Speaker 1: especially when it's like TikTok and shit, there's no reason
Speaker 1: why these twelve year olds need to be following TikTok
Speaker 1: trends or whatever doing these Instagram reels as a twelve
Speaker 1: year old, Like, I'm I'm good with that being banned. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: And we just banned TikTok. It's owned by the CCP.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well now it's owned by an American conglomerate, or
Speaker 1: at least the American branch of it is owned by.
Speaker 1: Was it not Wexler Lee?
Speaker 2: Ellison Lee?
Speaker 5: Who's that?
Speaker 1: Isn't that a dude? Who does Oracle?
Speaker 5: Oh wait, Rex, isn't that the guy that does.
Speaker 1: The sacred I'm getting rich. That's confused.
Speaker 5: All the same, the different feather of the same.
Speaker 1: Bud one hundred percent. So now let's listen to this
Speaker 1: news report from ABC that tells us more about the situation.
Speaker 16: More than a million accounts have gone dark tonight as
Speaker 16: Australia imposes a new social media band. Children under sixteen
Speaker 16: will be locked out of social media platforms like Facebook
Speaker 16: and Instagram. Companies that don't comply could face a thirty
Speaker 16: three million dollar fine.
Speaker 2: Real quick, real quick.
Speaker 1: Just we're all clear on the types of social media
Speaker 1: that kids under sixteen are no longer going to be
Speaker 1: allowed to do. Over a million accounts in Australia just
Speaker 1: went dark. TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, Kick, Snapchat, Reddit.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I'm okay with.
Speaker 1: That because some of those social media platforms are more
Speaker 1: g rated. They're heavily monitored and all the things. Sure sure,
Speaker 1: kick is not, Snapchat is not, Reddit is not X
Speaker 1: is not. Well, it's monitored, but not to the level
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about as far as protecting children goes.
Speaker 6: Well, why YouTube specifically, because that you could have that
Speaker 6: has like school like uh bye pop and educational videos
Speaker 6: all throughout it.
Speaker 1: They do, they do, But the problem is, whenever you
Speaker 1: pass laws, it has to be blanket policy.
Speaker 2: It's not fair. But that's just kind of how it goes,
Speaker 2: is it.
Speaker 6: I understand that and everything, but I can't help but
Speaker 6: to see that as a way of them since like
Speaker 6: being very Orwellian and like social outside information and everything
Speaker 6: a lot like China.
Speaker 1: No, I see that for sure, and YouTube is classified
Speaker 1: as a social media platform. It's not just a place
Speaker 1: to post videos for like uh, educational stuff. It's there's
Speaker 1: people that use it as a form of social media.
Speaker 1: A lot of content creators do, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: they'll drop videos, but they are using it to also
Speaker 1: make contacts with other people for the same reason why
Speaker 1: we would use social media honestly.
Speaker 5: But well, you can text on YouTube or something.
Speaker 2: I guess through comments and shit like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it is classified technically in certain circles
Speaker 1: as a social media platform. I don't know. But beside
Speaker 1: the point again, I don't have a problem with YouTube inherently.
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with Facebook inherently, but or
Speaker 1: even Instagram not inherently some of them. I do, like,
Speaker 1: there's no reason why an eleven year old chef Snapchat
Speaker 1: or kick account. I'm I will stand firmly on that.
Speaker 1: Or Reddit. There's no reason why a nine year old
Speaker 1: shod of access to Reddit because Reddit's got every damn
Speaker 1: thing on there.
Speaker 2: So I just, yeah, I understand it.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: Let's keep going.
Speaker 16: Instagram's pair company, Meta is pushing back, claiming it'll push
Speaker 16: kids to less regulated platforms, but Australia's Prime Minister is
Speaker 16: standing firm.
Speaker 18: This is the die when Australian families are taking back
Speaker 18: power from these big tech companies and they're asserting the
Speaker 18: rot of kids to be kids and for parents to
Speaker 18: have great a pace of mind.
Speaker 16: A lot of other nations will be closely watching to
Speaker 16: see how it plays out.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 16: In the US, at least thirteen states, including Texas, have
Speaker 16: passed laws concerning cell phones in school in the movement
Speaker 16: to impose further restrictions is growing.
Speaker 1: More than Yeah. Absolutely, and again that's not a fair
Speaker 1: comparison to say that you're restricting cell phone use in schools.
Speaker 1: That's not a one to one comparison to banning all
Speaker 1: social media accounts for people under sixteen years of age
Speaker 1: right off the rip that that's crazy. But again, I'm
Speaker 1: just speaking on behalf of myself, and I know people
Speaker 1: are going to disagree with me on this, and that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's fine if I as a parent, I am so
Speaker 1: in favor of this, because even if as a parent
Speaker 1: I put rules in place and tell my kids what
Speaker 1: they can and can't do, They're gonna do what they
Speaker 1: want to do anyway when I'm not looking, right, which
Speaker 1: is why at one point in time, I had to
Speaker 1: take my kid's phone from him.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't because he was doing something he was
Speaker 2: supposed to be doing on the phone, but it's.
Speaker 1: Because, like yo, just because I put all these parental
Speaker 1: blocks and I have no internet access or whatever else,
Speaker 1: he was still finding ways to get on YouTube. He
Speaker 1: was still finding ways to listen to music that I
Speaker 1: don't approve of. And that's of course I did the
Speaker 1: same shit when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: I get it. Growing up, I wasn't allowed to have
Speaker 2: social media.
Speaker 1: When I was in middle school, I made a MySpace account.
Speaker 1: I never told my parents about it for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1: I was not allowed to buy their rules, and I
Speaker 1: had to lie about my age and say I was
Speaker 1: eighteen or whatever. When I got to high school, I
Speaker 1: made a Facebook a profile. Again, my parents had no idea,
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that I was doing some bad
Speaker 1: things on these apps by any means, But that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that there weren't people that were out there hunting
Speaker 1: young adolescents like that. And it's just yeah, I see
Speaker 1: it as a very good thing. I don't like that
Speaker 1: the state is the one that had to be the
Speaker 1: one to pass that law. I wish parents would just
Speaker 1: take more responsibility and take more ownership of their children
Speaker 1: and be more active in their lives and tell them
Speaker 1: that they can't do certain things, and then not just
Speaker 1: tell them that. Don't give them a phone, don't give
Speaker 1: them internet access. They let it be under your watchful eye.
Speaker 1: Like I agree, But yeah, I hear both sides of
Speaker 1: the argument, and I'm completely fine if people disagree with
Speaker 1: me on that one and feel like this is an
Speaker 1: infringement on freedom. There's no there's no shade, and this
Speaker 1: is not something that I'd necessarily want to like fight
Speaker 1: over by any means. It's just personal take. I see
Speaker 1: this as an inherent good. I understand if people have
Speaker 1: an opposition on that is what it is. With all
Speaker 1: this being said, good members of the Retinue, I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna call this episode complete. Once again, I would
Speaker 1: like to tell everybody if you would like to join
Speaker 1: us every Wednesday night at nine pm Central for the
Speaker 1: Cajun Night Live. Then you go to the link in
Speaker 1: the descriptions patreon dot com slash Cajun Night. There's only
Speaker 1: one tier for entry. We're growing this thing slowly but surely.
Speaker 1: Every week, y'all ought to be an information sharing group
Speaker 1: meeting for lack of better words. We talk about the geopolitics,
Speaker 1: we talk about some military things, we talk about some
Speaker 1: science things, we talk about some religious things. From time
Speaker 1: to time, this has become a very uh fond night
Speaker 1: every week for me, and I believe all of the
Speaker 1: members of the retinue feel the same way. Once again, everybody,
Speaker 1: I am the Cajun Knight and as always, God bless
