1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Hello, fellow conspiracy realist. You may notice that today we 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: are publishing an extra classic episode. Wanted to give you 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: a peek behind the curtain. We've had some members of 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: the team a little bit under the weather. They are 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: all on the mend and feeling fine, but we wanted 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: to take this opportunity to share a story from our archives. 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: If whether or not you live in the US, you 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: are probably familiar with something called the Revolutionary War. Uh. 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: This is when the United States declared itself an independent 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: country rather than a collection of colonies ruled by the 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: United Kingdom, and fought for their independence. Today's question how 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: much of that official narrative is true, because, as you 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: will find in this classic episode, in which we feature 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: some guests, there are quite a few people who will 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: tell you that the United Kingdom didn't lose the Revolutionary War. 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 1: They will tell you instead that secretly the UK still 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: controls the United States. It's a strange thought. It's one 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: that doesn't occur to a lot of US, I would say, 19 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: and didn't occur to the team and I until we 20 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: began researching this episode. So without further ado, let's tune in. 21 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: Stay safe, folks, and we'll be back on Friday from 22 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: UFOs two Ghosts and Government cover Ups. History is worked 23 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: with unexplained events. You can turn back now or learn 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: the stuff and don't want you to now. Hello, welcome 25 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: back to the show. My name is Matt, my name 26 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: is known, and today my name happens to be Ben. 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: But most importantly you're here. Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you 28 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: for coming. Welcome to stuff they don't want you to know. 29 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: Em boy, we have a story for you today, Yes, 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: a story that spans the centuries and the seas or 31 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: the or the ocean's full disclosure everybody. We talked about 32 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: this off air for a second, and uh, it was 33 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: on air. It was on air. It was it was, 34 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: but we cut it right. Okay, great, So there is 35 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: a there is a small difference between ocean and a sea. 36 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: We found out who besides everybody but me, besides I 37 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: didn't know. It's very kind of you, Ben, I appreciate. 38 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: I really had no idea that the sea is part 39 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: of the ocean partially enclosed by land. Is that like 40 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: an isthmus It's like a ninthula? Yeah. Uh, so we 41 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: wanted to put a little bit of geography into the show. 42 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Today because our topic concerns geography, as you will find out. 43 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: And I don't know why I try to tease this 44 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: sometimes as though people are blindfolded and just randomly smacking 45 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: the keyboard and not reading the title. I think that's 46 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: a fun idea. Listening to podcasts with absolutely no context 47 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: of what it is. You just hit play and you 48 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: just go for it. It's like someone making you a mixtape. Yeah, 49 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. But before we go into it, I 50 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: would like to ask you ask for mixtapes. No, I'm kidding, 51 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: don't really do it. Yeah, if you guys want to 52 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: send us mix tapes. One thing real quick. My girlfriend 53 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: and I recently exchanged presents because she's going to London 54 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: for the Christmas holidays. We'll double back around to that 55 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: once we get into the topic. But she got me 56 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: a mixtape on a thumb drive that came in this 57 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: awesome little cassette shaped box and the thumb drive fits 58 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: inside and it has a little flap that comes up 59 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: just like on a cassette, where she hand wrote all 60 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the names of the songs on it, and it's like 61 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: a whole thing. So anybody out there looking for a 62 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: clever late Christmas gifts. Go on Amazon and look for 63 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: mixtape USB stick and you know, and I thought it 64 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: was really creative. That's too involved. She must really like you. 65 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I was impressed. I'm a little and it's 66 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: and the mixtape happens to be Fired, so oh yeah, 67 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: it's all fire. Is as good as CVS Bangers Volume three? 68 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Well no, I think yes, that's different. That's the horse 69 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: of a different Yeah. Well, congratulations, I'd love to Can 70 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: we hear it sometime or is it like a personal thing. 71 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: I'll have to decide later. Okay, that you know what, 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: that's fair enough. That's fair. So today we're going to 73 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: do something a little bit different. We have a short 74 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 1: segment for you. Let's just call it in the News, 75 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: since we think of a more clever name. And here 76 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: is the intro for that segment. Okay, So our question 77 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: or a suggestion in the news recently came from Twitter 78 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: via a listener named super a Chip, who asked us 79 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: if we were going to talk about these mysterious ghost 80 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: ship washing up on shore in Japan. You guys have 81 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: heard about this, right because of that our Twitter friend? Yeah, 82 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 1: because of some people on Twitter. Well, what it turns 83 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: out what happened is that for the past two months, 84 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: at least a dozen boats carrying the remains of a 85 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: little less than thirty people have been found drifting off 86 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: the coast of Japan. No idea who these people were. 87 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: For a long time, the news had no idea why 88 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: they were coming. But from what we know so far, 89 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: it appears that these um these are fishing vessels, and 90 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: it appears that they're coming from North Korea. So and 91 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: they think that because weren't some of the I guess 92 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: the clothes on the bodies seemed to be from Korea, 93 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: featuring featuring the lapel badge of Kim Jong Il, which 94 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: most people outside of North Korea do or the DPRK 95 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: do not wear, so it appears that they're going that way. 96 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: One of the big questions was whether these whether these 97 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: people were attempting to defect from the country. But the 98 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: problem is that the path they take doesn't really makes 99 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: sense because if you were going to defect, according to 100 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: John Nilson Wright, who is ahead of the Asia program 101 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: at Chatham House, if you were going to defect, you 102 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: would head south to South Korea rather than going across 103 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: to Japan. So the other theory right now is that 104 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: these ships were ill faded, ill fated fishermen who were 105 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: sent out to try to bolster dwindling food supplies. Yeah, 106 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: maybe go out a little further than they normally would 107 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: or something seems like, if you're going to defect two, 108 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: you might ditch your kim John Ilpens Well, I don't 109 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: know that's true for me. It's kind of a cover 110 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: right if you're like, oh no, no, we're still all 111 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: good everything. Yeah, I don't know. That sounds a good point. 112 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: So it's strange because there have been a lot of 113 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: wrecked boats drifting towards Japan every year. There were more 114 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: than sixty last year, and most of them were empty. 115 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: The mystery continues right now, there's pretty there's pretty good evidence, 116 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: or that's pretty solid speculation that there would be a 117 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: bunch of ill fated fishermen. But of course there might 118 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: be something more to the story. So stay tuned and 119 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: if you have a lead on it, let us know. 120 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: So what are we actually talking about today, Man, I'm 121 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: glad you asked no. Yeah, thank you for putting up 122 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: with my short attention span. Theater. We are talking about 123 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: a very strange thing that we looked into most of 124 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: this week, which is the conspiracy theory that the United 125 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: Kingdom owns the United States or controls it. This is 126 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: something you may have already heard about if you are 127 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: existing in this conspiracy sphere on the internet the way 128 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: that we do. H It's it's an old very it's 129 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: pretty strange. We really got to delve into it because 130 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: we did a video this week with All Time Conspiracies 131 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: and they were discussing how dangerous the United Kingdom is, 132 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: and we decided we were going to look into this question. 133 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: But they're so polite, so so polite. I just kill 134 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: you with kindness. And if you check out the comments 135 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: from people who live in the UK on that video, 136 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: it's it's hilarious. There there are a bunch of people say, oh, 137 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: the jig is up by you hide their bodies. So 138 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: before we talk about the the this theory, we've got 139 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about the history about one 140 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: of the most important breakups in the Western hemisphere. So everyone, 141 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: if you would cast your memories back to the seventeen 142 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: seventies when Britain still owned the thirteen colonies that were 143 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: carved out of Native American land. These were Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia. 144 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: That's a good one. It's a good one. Yeah, I'm 145 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: fine with that one. Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, 146 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and 147 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: virgin Yeah, whereas I like to call it Old Virginie. Um. 148 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: The relationship between the colonies and the Crown was let's say, tense, 149 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: to say the least. So during the previous decade, Britain 150 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: passed numerous acts meant to suppress and control their colonial underlings. 151 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: I suppose they wouldn't see them. It was very close 152 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: to what you could call economic warfare, essentially that they 153 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: waited on their subjects. Yeah right, mercantile is um. We 154 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: all remember this, maybe from history or social studies, that 155 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: being a system where in raw materials its resource extraction, right, 156 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: timber lumber for whatever else people are into at that time, 157 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: shipped off to uh the owner of the colony, because 158 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: this was a brand new land full of wondrous things 159 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: that it was just bountiful, let's take all of it 160 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: and return. They function as a captive market to buy 161 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: manufactured goods from this home. And so in other words, 162 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: they're breaking their backs, extracting these raw materials, shipping them 163 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: back to Britain, who are then using these raw materials 164 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: to make goods that they are then selling back to 165 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: the colonists. Yeah, it sounds familiar. Doesn't sound like a 166 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: particularly sweet deal if you ask me. I mean, it 167 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: depends on who you are in that deal. That's fair, 168 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: because it's good to be king baby, you know. But 169 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: so that's that's a great background. Or here are a 170 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: couple of examples of what happened during those decades leading 171 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: up seventeen sixty one, the British officials decided to stop 172 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: smuggling because you know, they're they're getting a that's right, 173 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: we're still a family show a boatload of revenue off 174 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: of each boatload, each boatload, Yes, exactly, that's that's you 175 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: got me man. Uh So, what they wanted to do 176 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: is invague people's privacy by using general search warrants when 177 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,119 Speaker 1: they could just go into a house any once respective smuggling. 178 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: And the columnists said, hey, now hey, now we're English 179 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: citizens and you shouldn't be able to do that. And 180 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: England was like l M Mayo GTFO, and that's what 181 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: kind of smuggling were you talking about, Like, were they 182 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: stealing materials? Were they smuggling things like two other family members, 183 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm just wondering, Right, this would be uh, this 184 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: would be smuggling in the sense of not necessarily an 185 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: illegal good. But because you know, now, when we think 186 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: of smuggling, we think of several things. We think of drugs, weapons, 187 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: and human beings. Right, those are general trafficking is the word. 188 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: I guess we're trafficking. Yeah, But back then it would 189 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: be something when it would be a situation where you're 190 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: more than likely just trying to avoid pain in exercise 191 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: tax So if you're stealing from the crown, Yeah, it 192 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: could be cotton, you know what I mean, there's cotton. 193 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: There's a cotton tycoon somewhere. I don't know. That's a 194 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: bad example, but alright, so other things. In seventeen sixty three, 195 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: the British decided that no colonists could advance west past 196 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: a certain past a certain area. Here's an imaginary line. 197 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I think that's fortunate for the people 198 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: who lived still lived in the western area and once 199 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: lived in the area that the colonists discovered or whatever. However, 200 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: this was considered a betrayal by a lot of people 201 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: whould come to the colonies to explore westward. And then 202 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: they said, you can't use colonial currency to pay back 203 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: your debts. It's got to be sterling money. And then 204 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: portion of Quarterine Acts Stamp Act. Uh. Then this leads 205 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: up to the Boston massacre in seventeen seventy where some 206 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: snowball throwing went wrong, five civilians end up dying from 207 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: shots fired into the crowd. Then the Boston Tea Party, 208 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: then what's called the Intolerable Acts, where UH Parliament the 209 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: UK or the British Parliament ordered the port of Boston 210 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: closed until the tea was paid for, and passed other 211 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: measures that were supposed to punish the people of Massachusetts 212 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: by depriving them of what rights they had remaining. And 213 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: we all see where this is going, right, Yeah, to 214 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: the Revolutionary War, to the thing that we're taught in history, 215 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: as you know, the birth of our nation. This is 216 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: this is how we became the United States of America 217 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: by fighting back against our oppressors. And on April nineteenth, 218 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: seventeen seventy, the war began at Lexington and Concord and 219 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: it lasted for eight years, ended on September three of 220 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: see um and as the war stretched on, support for 221 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: the conflict diminished. In Britain. Popular opinions sort of shifted 222 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: to kind of support the colonists. More and more people 223 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: believe the war cost more than the colonies were actually worth. 224 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: So maybe they weren't exactly siding with the colonies, but 225 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: they realized that this was something that was ultimately sort 226 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: of a losing battle. Well, yeah, this is a thing 227 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: that happens throughout history where there's a conflict in lands 228 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: that are not your own, and the populaces start saying, 229 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: why are we spending all of this money to go 230 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: and fight over there? At some point there was a 231 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: there's a breaking point in the opinion of the populace. Yeah, 232 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: and and the question is what what benefit is this 233 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: to us? Because the colonies had a much smaller military force, 234 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: but they also had a much shorter trip to the fight. 235 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: So as you as you said, no, uh, this ends 236 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: the war right sevent three, and it officially ends. The 237 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: reason we have the official day and day and date 238 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: is because it was ended by the true e d 239 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: of Paris that said, Okay, the beef is squashed. Here 240 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: are our conditions our new relationship or whatever it will be. 241 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: And it had some interesting stuff, you know. It said 242 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: that there were private debts that had to be returned, 243 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: the property of British citizens had to be returned to them. Uh. 244 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: The colonies were granted sovereignty, which is the big one, 245 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: and even some fishing rights. So with the Treaty of 246 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Paris in seventeen eighty three, the US became its own sovereign, 247 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: independent country, or did it. Here's where it gets crazy. 248 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that you will run into, 249 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: perhaps late night at a bar. Maybe they've had a 250 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: few tube, too many to drink, too many laggers. Perhaps 251 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: maybe they're just maybe it's Nolan, I, maybe it's me. 252 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: Who knows, but you might run into them who will 253 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: tell you that the United States is not its own 254 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: sovereign nation. No, no, no, In fact, it is controlled 255 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: still by its ancient mother, Great Britain. Yeah. Yeah, that's 256 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: uh that It sounds like a lot to take in 257 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: or consider, but this is similar to other theories there. 258 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: There are a lot of theories of what I would 259 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: call foreign control. Right, the idea that there's another state, 260 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: be at Saudi Arabia or Israel, control in the US, 261 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: the idea that it might be a bank, the idea 262 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: that it might be a bigger institution like the United 263 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: Nations or something. But one of the most elaborate arguments 264 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: for this theory came from a website called the Forbidden Knowledge. So, 265 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: according to this site, the Treaty of Paris was actually 266 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: a way for the king to rid himself of obligations 267 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: and liabilities to the colonists while retaining you know, financial advantage, 268 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: because the colonists still had to pay certain debts that 269 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: they have. Uh, there's a concept of the US is 270 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: not so much a nation as it is a corporation. 271 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: And even in the age of increasing corporate power, there's 272 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: still a huge difference between a private corporation and a state. Right. 273 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: This is also something might hear from a writer called 274 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: Alex Christopher and author of a book called Pandora's Box, 275 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: and this this is one of the big proponents of it, 276 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: and he argues that we're still subject to the British Commonwealth. Right. 277 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: This concept is um It is pretty similar in a 278 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: couple of different places to the author of Forbidden Knowledge 279 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: or on that website. They say that the difference between 280 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: a corporation or corporate charter, and a country remains in 281 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: the state level constitutions, and uh, we've got a quote here. 282 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: Who wants to do the honors? I got you? I 283 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: have always used a copy of the North Carolina Constitution 284 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: provided by the state. I should have known better to 285 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: take this as the final authority. To my knowledge, the 286 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: following quote has not been in the constitution the state 287 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: hands out or in those in use in schools. The 288 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: seventeen seventy six North Carolina Constitution created a new corporate 289 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: charter and declared our individual freedoms. However, the same corporate 290 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: charter reserved the King's title to the land, which restored 291 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: and did not diminish his grants that were made in 292 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: his early charters. If you remember, I made the claim 293 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: that legally we are still subject to the King. In 294 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: the below quote, you will see that the King declares 295 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: our taxation will be forever, and that a fourth of 296 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: all gold and silver will be returned to him, yielding 297 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: and pain yearly to us I as and successors for 298 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: the same the yearly rent of twenty marks of lawful 299 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: money of England at the feast of all Saints, yearly 300 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: forever the first payment thereof to begin and be made 301 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: on the feast of all Saints, which shall be in 302 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: a year of our Lord one thousand, six hundred sixty 303 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: and five. And also the fourth part of all gold 304 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: and silver, all which, with the limits Apple said, shall 305 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: from time to time happened to be found. And if 306 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: I may, in the battle of the accents, I concede 307 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: to you. So you win, we had. I didn't mean 308 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: to start off with one, by the way. I was 309 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: trying to just I slipped in a listening. It's fun 310 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: to read things in accents. I thought that worked. Um, 311 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: I think the work pretty well. We're passing the quotation around, 312 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: you know. I feel like the the strength of the 313 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: accents went up into the right. I just felt I 314 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: feel like in our graph, No, I think it was all. 315 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: I think it started at the top and right and stayed. 316 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: So there are this is interesting right when you listen 317 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: to that. I might take a few listens to really 318 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: have all that sink in of what this gentleman is saying. Um. 319 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: But there are some other ideas regarding this subject of 320 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: who controls the United States and possibly why. One of 321 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: them is that the US is not necessarily controlled by 322 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: let's say, the crown, by the royal family, the Queen 323 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: and all of her youngsters, but instead by this place 324 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: that we've been researching this week that is awfully strange, 325 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: the City of London. Now, this is the reason that 326 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: why this is weird is because it's an incorporated city 327 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: smack dab in the middle of Greater London. And it's 328 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: it's very tiny. I think there are what eleven thousand 329 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: people who actually reside in the city itself, some some 330 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: very small number compared to the number of people who 331 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: actually live in Greater London. I mean, I think there's 332 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: a lot of sprawl in that area in general. So yeah, 333 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: but it's a it's very very tiny, and I think 334 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: three I think the quote that I had read was 335 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: three thousand people come into quote the City of London 336 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: to work. Yeah. Yeah, and they have a trade association, 337 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: guild or the control of the City of London. The 338 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: livery companies, Yeah, the livery companies medieval guilds that turned 339 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: into corporations and we'll still call themselves something like the 340 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: Worshipful Company of Grocers or drapers or fishmongers. And there's 341 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: no monging of fish, you know, I have to say, 342 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: just as a side note, I'm kind of I'm kind 343 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: of jealous of those groups. I kind of want to 344 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: be in a workship, worshipful organization of video producers. Yes, 345 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: that'd be great, you guys, yes please, I'm I'm also envious. 346 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: So that the city of London is a place that 347 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: I think deserves its own episode. But it is one 348 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: of the financial hubs of the world, right It's it's 349 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: closely connected with various central banks. They're all kinds of 350 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: interesting proven things about it, and then many many more 351 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: alleged things. So that's one of our suspects for running 352 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: the US, that there would be financial control based in 353 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: the city of London, and that that is the true 354 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: power behind the throne of Uncle Sam. And that's you know, 355 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: that's a not necessarily impossible to be honest. Sure, it 356 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: might be a bit implausible. No, I don't know. It 357 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: feels like it it It would be difficult to prove 358 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: that to me, to get me to really say, okay, yes, 359 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: that's true. The city, the City of London controls all 360 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: of the US. I don't know. Well, nine foreign companies 361 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: are listed in London and they represent about of the 362 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: global foreign equity listing, So one fifth of the financial 363 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: power of the world. I mean, that's pretty darn big, right, 364 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: there is it? You know, when we do the episode 365 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: on City of London where gonna we're gonna see some 366 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: weird stuff here. But it's also guys, it's not unheard 367 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: of for a bank, two, or even a corporation to 368 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: interfere with the working of a country or a state, 369 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, especially if if they're weaker. We've talked about 370 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: that before on here. I think the Banana Republic episode 371 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite examples of that. They have 372 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: great pants, yes, yes, they Yeah, aside from the fantastic trousers. 373 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: What we're referring to would be a war waged by 374 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: essentially a corporation with the cooperation of the US right, 375 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: and what was the name of that again, Matt, the 376 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: United Fruit Company. They were they were tenacious in in 377 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: their attempts to maintain control over their business. Uh In 378 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: I think South America, Central America like that. Yeah, So 379 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: typically this this does happen, like you said, with the 380 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: weaker stay its places that have a lot of resources, 381 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: but not necessarily a lot of GDP, you know what 382 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: I mean. So the the sheer size and scope of 383 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: the U. S economy makes it pretty tough for all 384 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: but just a very few upper echelon companies to push 385 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: the government around. So, you know, sure we can confirm 386 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: that corporations corrupt individual lawmakers, but they don't necessarily have 387 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: as much influence as they would in a weaker country. 388 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: Sure that means sense. So you know, we hear about, 389 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: we hear about the influence that corporations can have through lobbying, 390 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: but that is that is um a pale shadow of 391 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: what we would be talking about, which is somebody going 392 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: in to the seat of power and saying jump or 393 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, we want South Dakota, no questions. I imagine 394 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: someone entering the Oval office, perhaps turning off the lights, 395 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: just you know, taking on their own to do that, 396 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: maybe going over and shutting some of the blinds and 397 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: just having a stern talk with the president after disconnecting 398 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: the phone line. Of course, So there's another there's another 399 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: idea here. We talked we're talking about big companies, but 400 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: what about individual banks or individual bankers or families of bankers. Yep, 401 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: you're going there, are it gets a little trickier. You know, 402 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: exactly where this is going. Gentlemen, Are you gonna say 403 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: our favorite family in the whole wide world the Rothschilds 404 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: or No, No, you're going to talk about the Goldman 405 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: sax or the Asters or the Morgan's. Maybe could it 406 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: be Satan Uh? Maybe I was thinking more of the Rockefellers, 407 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: But you might be on the right track and nailed 408 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: it on the first trial. Child the people that come 409 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: up so often that we might as well just invite 410 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: him on this show and get a sound cue or something. Yes, 411 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: I doubt they would come, so, yeah, it has to 412 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: be a like a done done dune. I would love that, 413 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: but we would have to clear that sound cue with 414 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: them in in advance so that they don't feel betrayed. Yeah, 415 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: they would just buy how stuff works. Oh that's true, 416 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: they probably would. So we have um no idea how 417 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: much money this family collectively owns. When I say we, 418 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean the media, I mean pretty much everybody outside 419 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: of that family or outside of its um close uh 420 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: close group of financial advisors. Yeah, because we're talking about 421 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: historical money, money that was worth millions when they originally 422 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: got it and now is worth hundreds and hundreds of billions, 423 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: And you know, it's put away for children for descendants, 424 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: and then it kind of just sticks around and gets 425 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and bigger. I mean, dude, there's either 426 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: even conspiracy theories edging that the Rothschild's control the UK. 427 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: Who you know, we're talking about the conspiracy theory of 428 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: ledging at the UK controls the US. So if the 429 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: Rothchilds control the UK and they're at the top of 430 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: a pretty sick pyramid here, yeah, right. And then there's 431 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: that quote that's often attributed to Mayor Rothschild himself, the 432 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: founder of the dynasty. Give me control of a nation's 433 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: money supply and I cannot who makes its laws? Now. 434 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, I did a deep dive on this quote 435 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: while I was making the video. It's I said, attributed, Yes, no, 436 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: you're absolutely correct, it's It is mostly attributed to Mayor Rothschild. However, 437 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: the only documented source of it that I could find 438 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: came from a subcommittee within the House of Representatives in 439 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: the United States, and it was a gentleman speaking about 440 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: the Rothschilds. And I'm going to read you this quote 441 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: that I could find because it it makes more sense 442 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: with someone talking of out the Rothschilds. Then a rothschild 443 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: sitting there and and you know, making the evil face 444 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: and saying while twiling is villainous mustache. And this is 445 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: from the scipt ward article, right, This is not from 446 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: the SKIPT. I went directly to the actual book or 447 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: the the Congressional Congressional record. You have the rural the 448 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: rural credits. So this comes from Daniel T. Cushing, who 449 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: is a financial writer in Washington, d C. From February sixteenth, 450 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen. Quote, let us control the money of a country, 451 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: and we cannot who makes its awesome? This is the 452 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: maxim of the House of Rothschilds and is the foundation 453 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: principle of European banks. It makes no difference whether you 454 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: call it a republic or a monarchy. The people can 455 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: never be free as the borrower is the servant of 456 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: the Linda Masterpiece theater man, we digress. What what does 457 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: this make you think up, Matt, Well, it makes me 458 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: think of the Federal Reserve. That's a topic that we've 459 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: touched on before in this podcast and on our videos, 460 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: and it's one of those it feels murky to someone 461 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: who doesn't know a whole lot about the history of 462 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve. And I don't know, do you guys 463 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: ever stay awake at night and think why how does 464 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: this money happen? Why? Why is there more and more 465 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: money happening? You know, there's Federal Reserve news today, right. No, 466 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna up the interest rate for the first time 467 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: since the financial collapse, like the thing that the rates 468 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: have been at zero, I think pretty much directly as 469 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: a result of that, to try to help rebuild in 470 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: some way. They said the that the U. S economy 471 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: could handle arise in rates. Oh man, the Federals are 472 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: such a confusing thing, it is, and I actually, you 473 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 1: know this is it has sort of a kind of 474 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: is monarchical word, I don't know. Okay, So you know 475 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: you've got like the chairman of the Fed. And for 476 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: the longest time leading up to the financial collapse, it 477 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: was this guy, Alan Greenspan, right. And I saw this 478 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: great clip the other day of it was from I 479 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: think it was like two thousand or something like that, 480 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: and it was Bernie Sanders berating Alan Greenspan during some 481 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: sort of hearing, basically saying that like you need to, 482 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, meet come with me to Vermont and like 483 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: meet some regular people, because you, sir, are completely out 484 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: of touch, and you say things and have these ideas 485 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: that you know, it doesn't matter where products are manufactured 486 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: as long as you know our g d P is up, 487 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: and even though people are losing their jobs because these 488 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: jobs are being shipped overseas, etcetera. And green Span totally 489 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: defends himself and says, you know that we have the 490 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: highest standard of living of any developed nation of our 491 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: size at this, that and the other, and then some 492 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: years go by, collapse happens. Dude has to back down 493 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: in front of a congressional Here you basically said is 494 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: that his logic was flawed. And I don't need to 495 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: divert too much from that, but I guess what I'm 496 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: what My point is that your point is that he 497 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: got burned, he got be felt burned. My point is 498 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: it just the system. It's it seems very um it's 499 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: it's the fact that one person can steer this system, 500 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, is very suspect and very strange to me. Right. Yeah, 501 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: And here's something from the skeptical article it alluded to 502 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: earlier that I that I think can shed some lend 503 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: this so skeptoid of course, is a debunking and skeptic 504 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: based website right and podcast, which is great. Right. Yeah, 505 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: it's not a what if or is it possible? It's 506 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: a it starts from this is bs. Yeah. It shoots 507 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: a lot of things down. I would say that in gathering, 508 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: if you're doing your own research in this and listening 509 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: to this podcast, I would say it's a good place 510 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: to go and get one side. Yeah yeah, yeah, like 511 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: as as said this for and try to practice it myself. 512 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: But it is so important to read the stuff that 513 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: you disagree with as well as the stuff with which 514 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: you agree, especially considering that you're probably doing research online 515 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: and you're probably using Google, and Google, unless you're very careful, 516 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: is going to figure out what you like. And it's 517 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: only going to show you that so you'll learn even less. 518 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: It is dangerous and it's stuff, but that's that's the 519 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: way of the world I am. I am not condoning 520 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: nor endorsing any search engine. I think you should do 521 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: all of your searches through the popular nine thirties crooner 522 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: being Crosby. Yes done. All you need is a Wigi 523 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: board as well. Uh we give board in a mixtape 524 00:32:47,200 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: that he enjoys brought it back, all right. So Skip 525 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: Toy has this great quotation. They say that the Rothchild's family, 526 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: while much of the story is real, that their powers, 527 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: often exaggerated in the modern day, say there is no 528 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: longer any such thing as a monolithic house of Rothchild 529 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: with connections to any significant number of all scores of 530 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: today's independent Rothchild business ventures. The closest thing is Rothchild's 531 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: Continuation Holdings a G, a Swiss company that manages interest 532 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: in many UH institutions founded by the family. They're no 533 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: longer any family members on the board, though about eight 534 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: Rothchilds are believed to own stakes in it, and like 535 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: many holding companies, it's privately held, so the records aren't public. UH. 536 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: The other owners are Rabbo Bank and Hong Kong based 537 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: Jardine Mathison Holdings. So the Rothchild's funds that manages focus 538 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: on mergers and acquisitions, and although it has billions and assets, 539 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: that's relatively small in comparison to the see of world 540 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: financial institutions with trillions and assets. So he's saying, yes, 541 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: they're big, but there are bigger things around now, you know, Yeah, exactly. 542 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: I think he's putting into for me. It puts into 543 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: perspective the idea that it wouldn't be a single family 544 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: controlling anything. It would be a group, perhaps in oligarchy. 545 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: If this were true, it would be a group of 546 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: competing powers, essentially that all maybe want a similar goal 547 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: or perhaps or even fighting within themselves, which to me 548 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: makes the whole thing a lot less plausible. Right, Yeah, 549 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: I can see what you're saying. It's it's easy, it's 550 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: tempting to think in more hollywood ish terms. But but yeah, 551 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: it's so we we oh, we shall also point out 552 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 1: one thing the economic stats. Oh yes, So the UK 553 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: has a gross domestic product of two point four four 554 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: trillion dollars while the US has a GDP of fifteen 555 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: point six eight trillion. So economically anyway, um, officially, the 556 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: US just annihilates the UK. And that's not even talking 557 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: about military might or not the money spent on military 558 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: every Yeah, that's a really good point, guys, because I 559 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: don't know how um yeah, but I mean, but but 560 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: if we're just you know, a puppet government, then they 561 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: control that too. Well. Yeah, because if they're in control, 562 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: oh man, then we're just the we're the security and 563 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: they are the economic head in a way. Oh no, 564 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 1: where the muscle. They're the brains, were the dumb ones? Weep? 565 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: They do have more experience. Yeah, they've been building in, uh, 566 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: controlling colonies for a long time. Yeah, it's true. And 567 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, it startles a lot of people who don't 568 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: live in a Commonwealth country to learn about the status 569 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: of commonwealths, you know, and why why the US is 570 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: not one in but Canada is or Australia is. You know, 571 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: this can be this can be very strange to someone 572 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: who's not familiar with that system. So there is some 573 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: degree of control there. So what's the takeaway here? No, 574 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm just gonna lay it out here for you, 575 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: at least what I believe. It might not be as 576 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: simple as saying that the UK controls the US, but 577 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean there are no nefarious, backdoor avenues of 578 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: that kind of control, right, Matt. Yeah, you can look 579 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: at several past episodes that we've done specifically on the 580 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: Council on Foreign Relations. I think that's correct. I forget 581 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: if it's on foreign relations, of of I think it's 582 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: on also the Trilateral Commission, two very interesting groups that 583 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: work inside the United States but have influences from outside 584 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: of it. Sure, builder Bird's uh, the Bohemian grove parties, Uh, 585 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: Skull and Bones all kinds of jazz does sound like 586 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: some swinging shin digs that. I'll tell you that. The 587 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: Bohemian Growthhemian just the name of it just makes it 588 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: sound like having a good old time. From what I hear, 589 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: it's their world leaders who are just getting college level smashed. Yeah, 590 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: but let's not forget that the US, along with several 591 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: other you know, English speaking countries, form a super tight 592 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: enknit and very highly secretive intelligence community. So it's tough 593 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: to know who pulls the strings. It's probably not the queen, though, 594 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: you think so. I think it's probably not. I've figured 595 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: it out, guys. I've just now figured it out. I 596 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: know who pulls the strings. Who pulls the strings? I'm 597 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: actually stealing this from an Internet video I saw, I 598 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 1: think in two thousand four. But there are three string pullers, Okay. 599 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: In the United States it's the military industrial complex, Oh, 600 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: I remember this one. In the United Kingdom it's the 601 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: financial industrial complex. And in Rome, guess what it is 602 00:37:53,600 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: the spiritual yeah industrial nice. So, the the commander of 603 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: the U S Armed forces and the wealthiest person in 604 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: the UK and the Pope, and the Pope walk into 605 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: a bar. Uh no, I'm not gonna try to make 606 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: a choke with that. Uh No, you can cut this 607 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: if you want. Will you please do the pope voice Papa? What? Okay? 608 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: Well that means can I ask the Pope a question? Yes? 609 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: Asking away? Uh? Pope? Um, so do you control the 610 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: world in some way? Asking me? And I got a question? Okay? Um? 611 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: Who does your taxes? Okay? Matt, Matt, be cool, Matt. 612 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: That was pretty close. You can't go around asking the 613 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: pope questions like you're sorry. Um, I just got nervous 614 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: and just started a question started popping out. Yeah, I'm 615 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: just I'm glad we made it through it. We shouldn't 616 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: push our luck. Guys. It's probably time to get out 617 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: of here, but I want to end on, try to 618 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: end on a positive note here. Who controls the US? 619 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: Theoretically the voters? Yes? So what does that mean? We're 620 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: in an election cycle right now. You know we have 621 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: historically low vote or turned out. It'd be cool if 622 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: folks would vote. I'm not going to say who you 623 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: should vote for, but I just think in general, it's 624 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: probably a good idea, knowing what Ben just said is 625 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: in fact true, that is what our system is based on, 626 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: Probably a good idea to exercise that right. Well, think 627 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: of it like, think of it like the tax you 628 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: pay for the right to complain about politics until the 629 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: next election. Yeah. Absolutely, that's that's probably the best way 630 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: to do it. And if you're a person who, for 631 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,240 Speaker 1: one reason or another is a conscientious subjector to voting, 632 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 1: then honestly, you forfeit your right to complain about politicians 633 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: in general because you had a chance to do one 634 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: very small thing. It's very small. Yeah, and again, this 635 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 1: is an extremely complicated subject when you start breaking down 636 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: what vote means in a particular areas. But Ben is 637 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: absolutely right in that that is the one thing that 638 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: you have as a power right now that you can use. 639 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: I had a funny conversation with them, just started to 640 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: get up on occasionally we're closing it out. So let's 641 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: let's call this the the close out tangent. No, we 642 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: need a green name for this. Uh, this segment is 643 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: that the close out broke because it used to be 644 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: the when so when we need a new name. So 645 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: here's what I propose we need a fourth person. No, no, 646 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 1: there's not an affair in this box for a fourth person. Um, 647 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: what I propose is, listeners, If you guys, we are 648 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: thinking about doing some couple of little segments that we 649 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: pop up with here and there, So if anyone you 650 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: guys have any cool ideas for the name of the 651 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: segment at the end where we kind of wrap up 652 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: the topic and then we talked about whatever we want, 653 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: to give us your suggestions. Yeah, about what I was 654 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna say was, um, yeah, my my roommate, Um, Frank 655 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: who you guys know? You guys, I mean Ben and 656 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: Matt Um. But listeners, you should get to know Frank too. 657 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: He's a lovely fellow. He's good. But we were talking 658 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: last night about how it seems in a lot of 659 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 1: ways that Citizens United has failed because look at what's 660 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,439 Speaker 1: going on. It's all of these billionaires like put their 661 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: money behind, like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, and Trump 662 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 1: is just trouncing both of them with his own money. 663 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: And maybe this is like an unusual situation and this 664 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: is like, you know, not the this is like the 665 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: exception to the rule. But as as incredible and awe 666 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: inspiring and comical as everything with Donald Trump is. I 667 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: do get a little bit of satisfaction out of seeing, 668 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, these billionaires losing all this money. I wonder 669 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: it's early all and yet as it is earlier on, 670 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: we've seen it before with other like Pero Rossbero. I mean, 671 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: he was a billionaire putting forth his own money. I 672 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: think I don't think it's a new thing necessarily, but 673 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: it is definitely ridiculous the amount of money that's just 674 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: been kind of thrown away. I'm just saying, like you know, 675 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: everyone with Citizens United said, oh, this means that the 676 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: billionaires and the corporations can buy elections. Doesn't seem like 677 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: it's quite that simple necessarily. That's all I'm saying. It's 678 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: it's sort of a bad road to a sort of 679 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: positive realization. That's a that's a good point. And you know, 680 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that a long time. I haven't 681 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: thought about the impact of the Citizens United ruling. Um. Yeah, wow, 682 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: I feel like a horrible citizen of the country. And 683 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: can you guys settle one thing for me real quick 684 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Whatever happened to equal 685 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: time in news coverage for political candidates is that just 686 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: not a thing anymore. Debates. Yeah, but it's not no, no, 687 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: not not debates, just with coverage. I thought there was 688 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: a thing where you know, if you give a certain 689 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: amount of attention and coverage to one candidate, that you 690 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: have to match that with any other candidate. Is that 691 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: not that I'm not making that up, that I'm not 692 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: learned that in Civics class when I was a kid. 693 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: But it does not seem like that's happening, That's all 694 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It doesn't seem like it applies because there 695 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: will be let's see, networks that lean more to the 696 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: left here in the US will cover Hillary Clinton pretty 697 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 1: extensively and not really cover Donald Trump except to say, 698 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, here's a gaff or something, and then you know, 699 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: on the other hand, it's it's reversed, and conservative networks, 700 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: more right leaning networks will show um show clips lionizing 701 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 1: the candidate the most successful Canida, which I guess at 702 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: this point would be Donald Trump, and then just only 703 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 1: report democratic stuff if they are you know, if there 704 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,240 Speaker 1: are gaffs or if there are questions they're shady business 705 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: with email for instance. Yeah, just so you know, this 706 00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: goes back to the Communications Act of nineteen thirty four, 707 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: which was amended. Uh. Let's see Title forty seven of 708 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: the United States Code by the SEC. It goes way 709 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:14,320 Speaker 1: back to then and it has evolved. Clear time evolved. 710 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,439 Speaker 1: That's an interesting phrase to use. Oh.
