That's by 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: Legacy goold dot com. Oh this isn't good here. I 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: was mentioning before the news that Trump had posted sixty 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: sixty times on his truth social site, and he was 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: still carrying out about the twenty twenty election, and he 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: was demanding a new election immediately and that he or 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: he'd be restored as president. But now that they're going 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: through the sixty posts, it looks like there's other crazy 17 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: stuff there. He started he started posting QAnon QAnon messages. 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: One of the posted the QAnon slogan where we go 19 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: one we go All. He also reposted a message from 20 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: q himself from years ago that's critical of the intelligence community, 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: and then people started posting responses urging Trump to wipe 22 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: them out, sir. Other q followers asked Trump to noop 23 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: them from orbit and to sir, please finish them off, 24 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: referring to Joe Biden Hillary Clinton. He also shared conspiracy theories, 25 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: posted a picture of Biden, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: with black bars over their eyes and the words your 27 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: enemy is not in Russia. He's also made posts suggesting 28 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: they plant FBI planted evidence against him, the search was 29 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: politically motivated, um and so and so. Now he's he's 30 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: actually quoting uh, the q andon leader and his posts good. 31 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: He's and those guys are the most likely to start 32 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: a civil war. They are armed. I mean, it looks 33 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: like he thinks he's gonna like command his army to 34 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: make another run. I don't know. Something spooky about that. 35 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: He also is freaking out the French president. He's he's 36 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: claiming in one of these posts, um that there's there 37 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: there's an item on the list of documents that the 38 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: FBI confiscated, and it's listed as information regarding the president 39 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: of France. And Trump has bragged some of his closest 40 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: associates both when he was in the White House and afterwards, 41 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: that he knew details about the love life of French 42 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: president and Manuel McCrone. Two people told that to Rolling Stone, 43 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: and Trump claimed that he learned about some of the 44 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: dirt through intelligence he'd seen or been briefed on. Now, 45 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: they don't know if this McCrone document at the FBI, 46 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: seed sees has anything to do with mccrone's personal life. Now, 47 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: as you know, McCrone is about, I don't know, forty 48 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: four or forty five years old, and his wife is 49 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: twenty five years older, say sees, probably about seventy now, 50 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: so I don't know. May not be surprising that a 51 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: handsome forty five year old politicians of all places would 52 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: go running around in his seventy year old wife. Trump 53 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: has talked about mccrone's naughty ways that not very many 54 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: people know about, and there it says here it has 55 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: triggered a Transatlantic freak out, according to two other sources 56 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: who are familiar with the situation, So apparently there's something 57 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: to it, because if there was nothing to it, nobody 58 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: would be freaking out. But French officials are working with 59 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: US officials to try to figure out exactly what Tump, 60 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: what Trump has on McCrone and France's government, and if 61 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: anything is serious, they want to know if it signified 62 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: some kind of national security breach or it was just 63 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: something innocuous. Trump has never given any details or any 64 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: any specifics as to what mccrone's sex life is about, 65 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: and you'd never know if it has anything to do 66 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: with reality. It is often, according to one source, it's 67 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: hard to tell if he's bssing or not. And but 68 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: there must be something because it caused the French officials 69 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: to freak out right because it was entirely made up, 70 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: It wouldn't be that big a deal. And he's done 71 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: this with other people too, so you just never know 72 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: what's nonsense. Now, you know what's funny is if we 73 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: had a rational world, and I want to I want 74 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: to get into this further, into the next segment. If 75 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: we had a rational world, the next story would be 76 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: what everybody would be obsessing on. This was in the 77 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal today and it talked about the fentinil 78 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: industry that has exploded in Mexico and is sending billions 79 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: of dollars worth of fentanyl here to the United States. 80 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: Now opioid overdose has claimed more than one hundred eight 81 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: thousand lives in the US in the last year. One 82 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: hundred eight thousand people. I mean, that's two and a 83 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: half times the number of people killed in the automobile accidents. 84 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: And it is the most devastating drug we have ever seen. 85 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: According to a former Drug Enforcement Administration official, they are 86 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: making so much in Mexico, so cheaply, and they're flooding 87 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: the US. And there's two huge drug cartels who are 88 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: facilitating this right now. And the SEE. China had been 89 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: supplying the materials to Mexico, but a few years ago 90 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: Trump got them to crack down on fentanyl production. So 91 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: now the Mexican drug cartels are doing everything themselves, creating 92 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: the ingredients. It's a synthetic drug, so you can do 93 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: this in a laboratory, and you use ingredients that are 94 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: commonly used for other medications, so there's no way to 95 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: ban the ingredients. And they have many, many labs. And 96 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, there is a medical use for fentanyl for 97 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: people who have severe pain in hospital settings. But I'm 98 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: going to tell you about how these how these fentinel 99 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: laboratories work, and how much fentanyl and how much money 100 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: the Mexican drug cartels are making, and how little anybody 101 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: in the US or in Mexico is doing about it. 102 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: They're looking at tens of billions of dollars of drugs, 103 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: tens of billions of dollars to the US from Mexico, 104 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: and it's Americans who are injecting and snorting all this. 105 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: It's all coming up next. That's if we had a 106 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: rational political system, that's what we'd be hearing the debate 107 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: about John and Ken cafight. So the Wall Street Journal 108 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: today had what I think is the definitive story on 109 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: the drug cartels and the fentanyl supply, and it is 110 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: actually staggering here. Well, this is one of these overwhelming 111 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: problems that no one is doing anything effective against. Fentanyl 112 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: is extremely easy to make and very cheap to make, 113 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: and the fentanyl has killed, along with the other opioids, 114 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: over one hundred and eight thousand people a year. Fentanyl 115 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: and other synthetic opioids are more than half of that total. 116 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: And it's the most pernicious, most devastating drug we've ever seen, 117 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: says Jim Crotty, who used to be an official at 118 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: the Drug Enforcement Agency, And it's it's these are like 119 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: these work like multinational corporations. They have labs all over 120 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: the place. Nobody knows how many there are. They can 121 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: set them up very inexpensively, very quickly. They can tear 122 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: him down, move them, abandoned, them to escape any any police, 123 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: and they talk to A fentanyl cook makes twenty five 124 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a week running a one man lab. Does 125 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: his work in a hazmat suit, dark glasses and a 126 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: cloth mask. I guess he may inadvertently inhale some fentanyl dust, 127 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: so he keeps the mask on and if he gets 128 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: a little queasy, drinks milk and he's it's a ten 129 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 1: by ten foot room and he mixes the ingredients to 130 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: uh cook the fentanyl. And there's there's two drug cartels, 131 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: Sinaloa and Jaliska. Sinaloa is in the northwest. Jalisco is 132 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: far the south. And it's simpler than heroin. It's entirely synthetic, 133 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: doesn't require cultivating the poppies. They don't have to grow 134 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: the poppies and convert it to heroin. They just mix 135 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: the chemicals and even if their labs get busted or 136 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: there's a big seizure, at the border. It can be 137 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: quickly offset by new batches. You don't have to wait 138 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: to harvest crops, you don't have to pay farmers what 139 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: they call they call heroin plant based opium, plant based. 140 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: I like that, right, Maybe you gotta get into that. 141 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: Add that to your plant based diet. Oh yeah, well 142 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: that'll come to work. Feeling really good. Take a hit 143 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: at heroin and a cost producers like six thousand dollars 144 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: for a kilogram of heroin, but a kilogram of fentonels 145 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: two hundred dollars or less. And it says, it says 146 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: the feel offers economic and tactical advantages that allow criminals 147 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: to vastly outpace law enforcement efforts. So that's why they're 148 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: able to export tens of billions of dollars of illegal 149 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: drugs annually. And they were actually producing less heroin because 150 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: the fentneil is more, is cheaper and more useful. And 151 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: Mexican poppy farmers are upset because their income is shrinking. 152 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: Silo is the market leader, and it's like a multinational, 153 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: multinational manufacturing corporation. They have illegal drugs and links to 154 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: suppliers in dozens of countries America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. 155 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: They have a security department money laundering, they have a 156 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: transportation department production, and they have a department to bribe 157 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: public officials. There are one town, Kulakan, filled with luxury cars, 158 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: gated neighborhoods and barrios. The rich people are connected to 159 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: the drug industry. They even have a cemetery with air 160 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: conditioned tombs, resting place for the drug lords who've passed 161 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: on and their hitmen. In fact, the drug lords buy 162 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: cemetery plots in bulk for their hitmen because there's a 163 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: high kill rate. You go to the airport gift shop 164 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: in Kulakan and you can buy baseball caps emblazoned with 165 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: the number seven oh one. Seven oh one was the 166 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: ranking in two thousand and nine Forbes magazine the Richest 167 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: People in the World, and Joaquin Guzman, known as El Chapo, 168 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: made it to number seven oh one. He's now serving 169 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: a life sentence at a superback's prison, but he was 170 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: was famous in Mexico for making the Forbes rich Man List, 171 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: So now they have a baseball cap to honor him. Jeez, 172 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: and it has exploded. In the twenty tens, drugs flowed 173 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: from China through Mexico. Then Trump pressured China to stop it, 174 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: and they did. They slowed it down, but Mexican cartels 175 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: were ready to take advantage. They had trafficking networks already 176 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: built for cocaine, marijuana, and heroin. You see, is so 177 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: important in your life because all those poor people in 178 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: the streets there, a lot of them are whacked out 179 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: on heroin and fentonil. This is all presents from Mexico 180 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: used to be China. It's another reason we have all 181 00:13:52,200 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: these people dying in the streets. Method is also made 182 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: big inroads, more so now in the Eastern States. Fentanyl 183 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: is growing increasingly in the Western States. There's a lot 184 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: of overdoses because of it's so strong and there's a 185 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: lack of quality control. And they make them into these 186 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: little pills that look like any ordinary pain killer you 187 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: might have had at some point in your life. They're 188 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: colored pink, yellow, and green. Some of them have the 189 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: shape of a skull, so that would be a sign 190 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: if you get a pain killer pill and it's got 191 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: a Mexican skull on it. They also are made with 192 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: butter flavoring, so that when you melted on foil, the 193 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: pills leave a golden trail and they smell a caramel popcorn. 194 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: That means it's good stuff. If it smells like caramel popcorn, 195 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: you've got a good supply of fentanyl. One manufacturer says 196 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: he's made as many as a million pills in a week, 197 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: a million pills. They make so many that their machines jam. 198 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty thousand companies in China produced chemicals 199 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: used in drug assembly, and a lot of those ended 200 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: up in Mexico for many, many years. But now Mexico 201 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: is doing a lot on its own. They I mean, 202 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: the navy said, and it sees three hundred and twenty Well, 203 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: it's been in Mexican Navy sees three hundred and twenty 204 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: tons of illegal drugs in the past six months. They've 205 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: destroyed a thousand labs. But it doesn't matter because they 206 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: can rebuild the labs just like that. Wow, this is 207 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: another another another great thing at the modern age, the 208 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: technology that allows them to make so many drugs, and 209 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: they have such a big audience, and so it's no 210 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: surprise we've got to people lying all over the streets. 211 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if it just keeps going this way. This 212 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: is clearly overwhelming. The Mexican government does some but not enough. 213 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: US government doesn't seem to do much either. So this 214 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: is just something that's going to keep spreading. More and more. 215 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: Unhappy people are going to take their fete to own 216 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: heroin and they're going to end to pass out in 217 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: our streets. Does seem like we're headed friend of days, 218 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: doesn't it? I? I mean, there isn't. There isn't in 219 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: this whole story, and it's a very long story. In 220 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, there wasn't one positive note, and 221 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: there wasn't one a quote from anybody where you know 222 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: there was a sense of optimism or sense of well, 223 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: we're going to do this, well, we think this is 224 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: gonna work. It was more like, hey, here's what's going on. 225 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: Doing the best we can, but we're overwhelmed. This is 226 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: a machine, a beast that's far bigger than we are. 227 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: More coming up, John and Kenshell Cafe. I found this 228 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: story fascinating today in the New York Times, they had 229 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: this on the front page. Every here of uncontacted tribes. 230 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: These are tribes deep in the Amazon rainforest, for example, 231 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: and they might have these in parts of Africa, but 232 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: I know they have them in the Amazon, and these 233 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: are these are tribes that have been around for hundreds, 234 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: thousands of years, and nobody from the outside and a 235 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: lot of cases has ever seen them or ever spoken 236 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: to them. And there's video online of occasionally researchers, anthropologists, archaeologists, 237 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: they fly overhead in some kind of light plane or 238 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: a helicopter, and and and these these tribal members, who 239 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: might be covered in orange paint, enraged, run out and 240 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: start yelling and shaking their fists and shooting arrows at 241 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: the helicopters they go by. And we don't know the 242 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: name of their tribe, we don't know their language, we 243 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: don't know anything about them. In fact, we don't know 244 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: them until sometimes they're accidentally run into or they're accidentally 245 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: frightened by our modern helicopter. In Brazil, they have an 246 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: agency called the Indigenous Protection Agency, and they had been 247 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: monitoring a certain uncontacted tribe and they feared that the 248 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: tribe was down to one person. And they went to 249 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: a hut like a thatched hut in the middle of 250 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: the Amazon rainforest, and what they feared was true. They 251 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: found a dead man lying in a hammock. He was 252 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: the last member of the tribe, and when he died, 253 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: what went with him was an entire culture and all 254 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: the answers to a thousand questions that researchers anthropologists would 255 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: have about the tribe, the language, the history. It's all 256 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: gone now. The tribe doesn't exist anymore. Because he died. 257 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: He was known as the man of the Hole. He 258 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: had dug dozens of holes in his territory over the years. 259 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: They figured he was about sixty years old. And the 260 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: researchers were saddened by this because they've been trying to 261 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: provide protections for in the indigenous groups, but by definition 262 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: they're uncontacted and they don't want to be spoken with. 263 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: They don't want to be discovered. We apparently want to 264 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: know what they're about. They don't want to tell us. 265 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: And the name of the indigenous agency is known as Funai. 266 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: And they found his body in August twenty third and 267 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,479 Speaker 1: probably natural causes and they're going to run DNA tests 268 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: and um, he never talked to anybody. Actually was fascinated 269 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: by this idea of being an If you like to 270 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: be an uncontacted person who lived in a hut in 271 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: the middle of the Amazon rainforest, and nobody can understand you, 272 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: and nobody, nobody ever talks to you. They have they 273 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: have evidence of at least one hundred and fourteen groups 274 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: in Brazil, but they only have confirmed twenty eight, so 275 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: the other eighty six don't benefit from any government protections. 276 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: See the president of Brazil, his name is Bossonaro. He 277 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: has um allowed industries to destroy parts of the Amazon ranches, 278 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: farming industry, record levels of deforestation, logging, mining, and they've 279 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: Bocenara scaled back protections for the indigenous groups. And so 280 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: some of these ethnic groups have become extinct without anyone 281 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: knowing about their extinction. Unless unless these tribes officially register 282 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: with Brazil, they won't get their land protected. They won't 283 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: get their land marked off for protection. There's another tribe, 284 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: the Pira. The Pirapura tribe only has three members left, 285 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: one woman and two men, and the woman is not fertile, 286 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: so there's not going to be any any babies that that. 287 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: That tribe is going to die out very soon too. 288 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: This guy that they found, the man in the Hole, 289 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: had been living in isolation for at least twenty six years. 290 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: The rest of his group was killed by ranchers because 291 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: the country is allowing the ranchers to bulldoze the land, 292 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: chop down all the trees in the Amazon forest, and 293 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: start planning stuff. The group also was some members were 294 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: killed when they received poisoned sugar. A few members were 295 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: gunned down in the early nineteen nineties. Basically it was genocide. 296 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: And they were left with this one guy, and they 297 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: tried to talk to him once, but he got very angry, 298 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: he got very aggressive and violent, and they couldn't talk 299 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: to him. Well, I couldn't understand him anyway. And there's 300 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: nobody left who knows the language. They don't even know 301 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: what the language was. But he had twenty six years 302 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: of peace in his little hut, which sounds very inviting. 303 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, twenty six years alone or no hut speaking 304 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: a language that nobody would understand. Would that be cool? No, 305 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: well I wouldn't like it, but I can see how 306 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: you would. And you and if anybody came by, you 307 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: would just throw spears at them. You remember the US 308 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: missionary guy who went to that Indian tribe that died 309 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: in the Hail of Arrows. Oh, yes, that's right. It 310 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: was like twenty eighteen or something like that. Yeah, there's 311 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: there are still tribes or where is one of them? 312 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: Um near India and I can't think of the name 313 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: of the country. It's an island country. And if you 314 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: if you, if you take your boat on shore, there's 315 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: a risk they'll eat you. They are cannibalist. No, thank you. 316 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: One of my sons wanted to go there on a vacation. 317 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: It actually brought me the idea and then told me 318 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: that sometimes the tribe eats tourists. It's like, well, no, 319 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to do that. I'm sure 320 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: your wife was thrilled. Yeah, I have an interesting I 321 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: have an interesting house. There's a message in there. Hey dad, 322 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: let's go to the island where they eat the tourists. Okay, 323 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: you're feeling good about us anyway, the man in the 324 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: hole is dead now and we'll never know the tribe 325 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: it belongs to or the language of their history. More 326 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: coming up, John and Ken showed another fascinating thing I 327 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: saw today was in that Reason magazine. And this is 328 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: one of the one of the reasons I am. I 329 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: don't believe in polling very much, and we certainly talk 330 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: about polls from time to time, just to use it 331 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: as a as a guide, a loose guide, but there's 332 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of because people don't tell the truth 333 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: to polsters. And it's not just their political beliefs. It's 334 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: on a lot of issues. Because we have that this cancer, 335 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: this canceled culture society for the last few years, and 336 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: so people have been afraid to publicly say what they believe, 337 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: and not just to a polster, but sometimes anywhere from 338 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: a public meeting to like maybe maybe a school meeting, 339 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: among parents, maybe among friends, at at a dinner, at 340 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: a dinner party, sometimes even at home with your spouse. 341 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: And they have a list of polling and they have 342 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: some kind of a method where they can determine people's 343 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: public beliefs and private beliefs. And how they did this, 344 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: how the methodology works would be too much in the 345 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: weeds to get into on the air, But just for 346 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: argument's sake, I think there's a lot of truth in 347 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: this here. For example, a majority of people will say 348 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: publicly that mask wearing was effective, but they don't believe 349 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: that in private. And this is according to a company 350 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: called Populace, a social research organization. They say in recent 351 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: year's polls consistently have found that most Americans feel they 352 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: cannot share their honest opinions in public because they might 353 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: offend somebody or there'd be retribution. So not only do 354 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: they silence themselves, but they publicly misrepresent their own private views. 355 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: So let me repeat that again. Fifty nine percent of 356 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: Americans publicly agree that wearing a mask was effective to 357 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: stop COVID, but only forty seven percent hold that view privately. 358 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: That's a twelve point difference, and it's the difference between 359 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: a majority view and a minority view fifty nine. In reality, 360 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: only forty seven believe that. And they found that they 361 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: went into like all these subdemographics, people wanting to be 362 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: in lockstep with their tribe publicly, but they don't really 363 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: believe it at home. Forty four percent of Democrats publicly 364 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: insist that corporate ceo should take stands on controversial issues, 365 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: but in private, only eleven percent believe that. Here's one 366 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: just on Asian Americans. Thirty nine percent of Asian Americans 367 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: publicly say the US should completely phase out fossil fuels, 368 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: only thirteen percent believe that privately. So people are virtue 369 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: signaling here. In this case, you have triple the support 370 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: for phasing out fossil fuels among Asian Americans compared to 371 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: what they really believe. For a Republicans, sixty four percent 372 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: favor overturning roversus wade publicly, but only fift agree privately, 373 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: again wanting to wanting to publicly agree with the tribe. 374 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Republicans who don't agree that 375 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: reverses wage should have been overturned, but they won't say 376 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: it out loud. This is interesting because everyone thinks that 377 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: young people under thirty are in lockstep with a certain ideology. Publicly, 378 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: forty two percent of those eighteen to twenty nine forty well, 379 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: let me rephrase this publicly sixty five percent. Sixty five 380 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: percent of those eighteen to twenty nine believe racism is 381 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: built into the economy and government and the educational system 382 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: sixty five percent publicly. Privately, only forty two percent believe 383 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: that Americans are misrepresenting what they actually believe to endorse 384 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: views they don't really hold. According to Reason magazine, there's 385 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: some of these gaps are pretty big. They're fifteen twenty 386 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: twenty five points difference. So a lot of the polling, 387 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the opinion making that's going on the 388 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: debate is based on false information because people are so dishonest, 389 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: so they're so cowed. Everybody so desperately wants acceptance. It's 390 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: terrified to criticism, it's terrified of being a cancel, terrified 391 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: being ostracized by their social group. I've always wondered about that, 392 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: because we are now there's this there's this phrase I 393 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: mentioned it from time to time, called The Big Sort, 394 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: which is one of the big book, best books I 395 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: ever read. Because most most predictions made by experts are wrong, 396 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: this was one that was correct, and it came out 397 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: about twenty years ago. And The Big Sort said that 398 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, we were in the process of sorting 399 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: ourselves out, so we're all going to live with people 400 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: like us, and not just racially, but when it came 401 00:29:52,560 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: to values and religion and economics, and you know, whether 402 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: you're conservative or liberal, we all were going to live 403 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: with people like us. That increasingly Americans can't tolerate differences 404 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: of opinion. It's gotten really extreme in recent years. And 405 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: if you do live in a neighborhood like that, eventually 406 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: you want to conform. And if you have a different 407 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: opinion on a hot button issue, do you want people 408 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: staring at you weirdly at a barbecue or at a 409 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: cocktail party. You're just going to dodge the issue. Or 410 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: you might publicly say something they don't really believe. But 411 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: I've seen people do this, some people I know, and 412 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: I see them in action publicly with other people, and 413 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: they'll say something or they'll give the impression they agree 414 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: with you, and I'll say to them later it's like 415 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: you don't really believe. Then he goes, yeah, but I 416 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: don't want to get into a fight at the party. 417 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: Get Tim Conway's hay no, hay no, hay. Now, well 418 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: we've got some news on Iraq, Baghdad, Iraq. There's gonna 419 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: be a heat warning, the electrical shortage, and there's bacteria 420 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: in their water. No, that's here. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 421 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: that's right now that you mentioned it, that's here.

You can't go in the ocean, 424 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: you can't go in Big Bear Lay because that'll kill 425 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: you the bacteria. Yeah, and then you can't use electricity 426 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: and there's no water. No. But other than that, Mark 427 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: Thompson's here, they're dong with you, buddy, Thank you Tim, 428 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: Thank you John.

He left 462 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, he went early. I left Friday after work, 463 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: and so we spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Las Vegas. 464 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: When we came back Monday, and he was staking a 465 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: different hotel than I was, and we called each other 466 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: every day, text each other, but never sell each other. 467 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: The whole idea was to go down the same weekend 468 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: so we could hang out together. And we never saw 469 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: each other because I got hot at the table and 470 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: he got hot and I was tired than he was 471 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 1: drunk that I was buzzed and never hooked up.
