00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: just talking yesterday about how our our last guest was

93
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,240

Speaker 1: I choose to do battle with a different on it.

96
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: I love that I was listening actually earlier today. I

97
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: want to check in mainly so I uh so, I

98
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: was aware. So I had my finger on the pulse

99
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: or does that? Guys whatever, they're not all gonna lance,

100
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,160

101
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Summer is Summer is kind of brutal here. I almost

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: want to say it's overrated, but I don't want to

103
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: seize and shame people. So the big, the big news

104
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: on our end. Now I'm like required by our corporate

105
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: over lords to say this, we wrote a book. Hell, yes,

106
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: coming out. Damn. You just brought that in like a

107
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: magic trick from the side of your thing. Now granted

108
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: it was not a good magic trick, but it was

109
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: enough for me to be like, whoa, he had that

110
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: outside of the frame the whole time. When you prefaced

111
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: the corporate over lords demanded, I was like, oh, ship,

112
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: we're getting canceled on the air. Guys, welcome to bagel Fest. Yeah,

114
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: episode from the guests. Has that happened before? Yes, it's

115
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: happened like twice. I think everything from Ben, who is

116
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: a fucking professional. Oh well, you guys, uh, you know,

117
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: after you've had me on a certain amount of times,

118
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: I need to help my game. I need to do

119
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: a little homework, right, that's very impressively. We even have

120
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: a show, a story on the show that you pitched,

121
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: which we're gonna get to in a moment. But real

122
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: quick stuff they don't want you to know. Tell us

123
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: about the book. That's what it's called, right stuff, I

124
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: don't want you to know. Yeah. Yeah, we took our

125
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: awkwardly overly long name of our podcast and made it

126
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: the awkwardly overly long name of a book, mainly because

127
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: we thought when we first started that show, we thought

128
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: we get fired in like two weeks, you know. Yeah,

129
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: so right, so that show stuff they don't want you

130
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: to know applies critical thinking to allegations of the paranormal,

131
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: to government cover ups too, things that are called conspiracy theories,

132
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: which is often a dirty word nowadays, especially with the

133
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: way it's being used right in media and what we

134
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: immediately so associate with it, which is our right wing

135
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: nuts and cartoons, right, just clowns out there. But this

136
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: this book is one of several coming out and it

137
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: looks at it looks at conspiracies in terms of how

138
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: they evolve, and then it also looks at the very true,

139
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: very disturbing stories of government cover ups in the past,

140
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Like on a previous episode of Daily Zeitgeist where we

141
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: talked about nuclear experiments or nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands,

142
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: which is an ongoing tragedy. So if I disappear you guys,

143
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: if I get epsteins, hopefully it's because of this book,

144
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: that will mean a good job. I thought you were

145
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: using disappear as a verb and saying if you disappear us,

146
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: which right, I'm tek a fan. You can't threaten us

147
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: technically legally on we just checked with Heart legal and

148
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, I would love to say that,

149
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: but I just have to do it. I see Miles

150
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: frantically texting like, hey, this is taking a weird turn.

151
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: I will say. We started the Daily Zigeist more in

152
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: a like in around those probably closer to mainstream news

153
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: than it is today, and we have slowly like the

154
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: longer we've been doing it, the longer I've had, you know,

155
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: just a ivy drip of what is actually happening in

156
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: this country in my arm five years now, the more

157
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: it's gotten close to stuff they don't want you to know.

158
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: It's just it's the homer Bush, the homer Bush gift

159
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: where you you emerge like yeah, yeah, man, it's a

160
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: it's a weird time. I don't think anybody saw it's coming.

161
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: And completely the way that this stuff has worked out

162
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: our pal, a good friend of all three of us,

163
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: Robert Evans, called it a while back. He's right, we

164
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: got no chumps in the squad really when it comes

165
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: to this kind of stuff. So I want to thank

166
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: you guys for uh for not not shying away from

167
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: saying the Piot parts out loud, talking about some of

168
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: the big problems and still still being so brilliant and funny.

169
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm not blowing smoke. I was actually the US just

170
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: cut on this. Yeah yeah, yeah, alright, then moving on.

171
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: That was on little compulsion to never be able to

172
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: take a compliment, not suck you, fuck you, fuck you.

173
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait to move on pop culture he's talking about.

174
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm all right, I'll hear you out,

175
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: but he's like, likes our show. I'm like, shut the

176
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: funk up. Then moving on, tell us about the beltfure No,

177
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying before before we move on, I want

178
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: to I want to shout out one of the most

179
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: beautiful moments I had today as I popped on where

180
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: we're record on a zoom and we all had these

181
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: sharp looking hats that, as as you guys pointed out,

182
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: are representing our cities Justin had one as well, and

183
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: is the Chicago he had the Bulls hat on. M hmmm,

186
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: I love being able to curse on the show. I

187
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: don't do that a lot of other shows. I felt

188
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: like we were at a fucking Lids meeting and like

189
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the executive commission of the Executive Board of Lids Convenience

190
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: for for the thanks for meeting. Does anyone is that

191
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: getting work for LIDS Corporate? Please tell me? Do you

192
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: have zoom or team's calls and everybody has to have

193
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: what they call a lid on? Because that's my That

194
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: was where my imagination where they're like wearing a hit

195
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: on the call. Yeah, where's your lid? Man? Oh? I

196
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: got the Dodgers had at a Dodgers game like a

197
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: real chump a couple of months ago, and it has

198
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: not left my head for like more than a couple

199
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: of hours. I just I like it. I like having

200
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: it on, and it gives me an option that is

201
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: not my Sixers hat, which is cursed, as we've talked about.

202
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: So alright, Ben, we're gonna get to know you a

203
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell

204
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about.

205
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the owners of Coachella, how they

206
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: like funding right wing extremeist bullshit, and just generally how

207
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: money moves in this version of America that is fueled

208
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: by hyper wealthy billionaires. We're gonna talk about the Georgia guidestones.

209
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: This is the pitch. This is the story that Ben

210
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: brought to our attention that I just wanted to use

211
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: as a jumping off point to discuss the kind of

212
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: the some of the spookiest I think of America as like,

213
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: what a a giant haunted house that we all live in.

214
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: I think it's a you know, carnival of horrors both

215
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: present and past, and inherently any colonized land is a

216
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: haunted Yeah, it's just kind of the trade off for it.

217
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, this wasn't yours? Okay, Well, spooky and haunted, yeah,

218
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more. But first then we do

219
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your

220
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: search history? Yeah, so a lot of a lot due

221
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: to the nature of my my job, my search history

222
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: is trash, you know what I mean. The n s

223
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: A is probably like this fucking guy again. So I

224
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: used duck duck go with your first of all, what's

225
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: your search engine? Not something I usually ask people, but

226
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: because you are on everyvery watch list watch list, No,

227
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: I like duck duck Go. There are a couple of

228
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: things that require you to use Chrome, so I have

229
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: kind of a made up Chrome persona. But it's such

230
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: an unnecessary song and dance because any any expert in

231
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: the world of security will be like, Okay, sure, Dave

232
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: Davidson or whatever. You know, I'm not fool in anybody,

233
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: but duck dot go. I like your favorite website is

234
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Baseball dot com, Okaya dot com every day, you know,

235
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: I just love America's past time. Yeah, uh search history.

236
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: So recently I revisited the idea that's that's been making

237
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: the rounds a while about banks buying up not just

238
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: houses but neighborhoods. It's a it's a real problem, and

239
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of complicated because there are like, if you

240
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: look at the u s all of it, there are

241
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: about one and forty million of what we would call

242
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: housing units, and that could be anything from an opulent

243
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: mansion to uh, multi family apartment building to like what

244
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: you think of as a starter house for people, you know,

245
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: three bedrooms to baths, whatever of those banks that turns

246
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: out are actually these institutional investors are buying a pretty

247
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: small slice of the pie, but they're targeting very specific

248
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: neighborhoods and that's where the danger is. And this is

249
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: huge in Atlanta, this is huge in some surprising places.

250
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: One example would be an entire town in Texas got

251
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: purchased by an institutional investor and that made the Wall

252
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: Street Journal. But the more I look at it, and

253
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, very self centered person here, I was like, oh,

254
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: maybe I can buy a house, not to profit off

255
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: human misery, but things are kind of going into the tank,

256
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: so maybe I can afford one, you know, just riding

257
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: the coat tails of catastrophe. And uh, I was very

258
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: wrong because there is a huge housing bubble and I

259
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: wanted to figure out what other players were in the game.

260
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: And for years, you know, there's been this I think

261
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of dangerous narrative, this partial that's based in fact

262
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: about like, oh, foreign foreign investors are parking cash and

263
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: real estate in the US and Canada as a way

264
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: of keeping their wealth right, making their little dragon hoard

265
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: of coins and playing monopoly. Yeah it's Wolverine is that

266
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: was that the name of the movie where they and

267
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: the Wolverines were the team name. But yeah, it's all

268
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: just they are invading via real estate purchases much less cool.

269
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: But you know, the Russians are coming for you. The Chinese,

270
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: it's always communist nation. Yeah, it gets xenophobic really quickly

271
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: because it's the kind of argument that that people who

272
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: are like, show me a racist without saying your racist,

273
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: love to get really involved in and they'll start with

274
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: the agreeing points, which are you know, quantitative and improvable,

275
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: and then they'll they'll you can always hear switch in

276
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the tone where they start to say and you know

277
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: the Chinese, And I'm like, do I do? I know?

278
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: All one point three billion fucking people in that country

279
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: were free, So I think that's I mean, I think

280
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: that that is a problem. I don't know what you

281
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: guys see out in California. I don't have a lot

282
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: of on the ground experience there. Anytime I'm in l A,

283
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm just like asking you, guys, eyes or someone in

284
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: that crew for a starter home, A good start. Can

285
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: you take me around to some places that might be

286
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: a nice starter home for Yeah, um yeah. I actually

287
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: just had a friend of mine from way back who

288
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: now you know, works for one of these companies that's

289
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: like buying everything up, and he was just like, yeah, man,

290
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: like this is you know, he he does, he does

291
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: the job. It's probably like not something he's like super

292
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: happy about, but he's like, this is everything is going away,

293
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: like home ownership is going away because they are using

294
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: like they have access to wealth that individuals don't like.

295
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: The deck. The deck is so stacked in favor of

296
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: corporations that like that's yeah, we're all just going to

297
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: be paying rent like very soon. Yeah, well that's there.

298
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: The whole built to rent market is like it's the

299
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: whole thing where it's like no, no, no, we're not

300
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: here for ownership. We're here for repeat customers till they die.

301
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too because I think Georgia actually has

302
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: the like the highest concentration of like homes that are

303
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: owned by institutional investors. California less so, but I think overall,

304
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: like depending on where you live, it's like could be

305
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: Black Rock buying up all the fucking the homes and

306
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: ship or I think the bigger thing is that we

307
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: don't have enough actual like support from the municipalities and

308
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: zoning laws to build affordable housing, which is the funked

309
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: up part two, where there is certainly a lot of

310
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the proper existing properties being brought up, but we're also

311
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: not doing anything to spur the you know, the production

312
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: of affordable housing. Either. It's like, oh, you want to

313
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: build a behemoth skyscraper, fun face tour, right, that's yeah, yeah, yeah,

314
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: well we'll go with that. Oh you want to buy

315
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: some like single family homes that are like they're going

316
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: to be affordable for like regular people less. So sounds

317
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: like peasant talk. Yeah. Anywhere you were in a financial

318
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: transaction with a corporation in America, you are losing because

319
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: they have so much more capital to work with and

320
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: legal expertise, and so it's just, you know, a stacked

321
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: deck that is going to get more stacked. Start. Yeah,

322
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: so that's what like, you're exactly right, it's nail on

323
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: the head. Structural advantages. Those are a big thing, and

324
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: they create a positive feedback loop in a very negative way,

325
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: I would say, positive feedback loops for them. Yeah, exactly

326
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: and it's weird because I was also trying to talk

327
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: to I wanted not really both cider at these this

328
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: point in civilization, but I wanted to get you know,

329
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: news right from the source. Say nobody thinks they're a

330
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: bad guy in that situation. So what do what do

331
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: these uh? What are these black rocks or these uh

332
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: homes for sale? It's number four. They saved a little

333
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: on the ink. They passed the yeah, right, So I

334
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: like people love numbers. People love numbers, so they What

335
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: I found from those sources was that they they said

336
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: they offer a better service through renting because they it's

337
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: such a corporate where they professionalize it, but it ends

338
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: up being worse for the people because think about it.

339
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: You are and so many folks in the audience today

340
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: have experienced this. You are a would be homeowner, right,

341
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: you want to stop throwing your money down the whole

342
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: of rent, and so you go to a neighborhood to

343
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: fit your specifications. Right, homes are a little lower priced.

344
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: This may not be the postious neighborhood in town, but

345
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: it has a good school district. Those are the same

346
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: things those institutional investors are looking for. So you go

347
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: to a house. You say, is this available? And someone says,

348
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: you know him, Dave Davidson from from Black Rock. This

349
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: guy's everywhere and he says uh, and he says, uh,

350
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: we would love for you to rent this home. He said, no,

351
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: we'd like to buy it. And they go, oh, okay, alright,

352
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: get out. And then you go to the next house

353
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: and it's another it's another guy and he's like, oh,

354
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Yavis Davidson, and you're just Dave Davidson with your hat

355
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: on backwards. And you go to the next house. Hime,

356
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm Mr baseball dot Com. Yes, yes, what you're just

357
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Dave Davidson of your hat sideways. And that's why we

358
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: brought Ben in here to tell you. I mean, that

359
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: doesn't sound too good, doesn't folks, But that's why we

360
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: brought Ben here to tell you about a really exciting

361
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to invest in a time share that we have

362
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: available to you. And and I think also just to

363
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: kind of take your both sides take just slightly sincere out,

364
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: it is not all companies like Black Rocket, Like, for example,

365
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: I just closed on my fifth rental income property I

366
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: just bought, and I'm seeing some pretty great returns. And

367
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: what's funny is I really started not making money ntil

368
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: I had three rental properties. It's just something to keep

369
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: in mind. Got stack up my downstream, so I have

370
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: sixteen and then that's I mean, that's honestly, that is

371
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: a valid point because there are a lot of people

372
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: who have like they have day jobs, they have like

373
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: maybe they had a house in their family or something,

374
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: or maybe they bought a new house they held onto it,

375
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: and now they are they are what you will call

376
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: mom and pop landlords. Yeah, but they're not the same

377
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: thing by any means. These people, the these folks, those

378
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: kind of landlords are not the ones going in and

379
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: saying I will take both of these mobile home parks,

380
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: I will buy this. Yeah exactly. Mobile home parks are

381
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: fucking getting absolutely thrashed right now by institutional investors. And

382
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean I can there's already like they're already squeezing

383
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: people who are already like being like, I don't know

384
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: where else I can live it's more affordable than this,

385
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: And they're like, we don't know, man, are market research

386
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: shows we can squeeze you guys for a little bit more. Alright,

387
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: then let's take a quick break and then we'll come

388
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: back and get your under it and over it. It

389
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: will be right back and we're back and ben bole.

390
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: And we like to ask our guests, what is something

391
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: that you think is underrated? M okay underrated? And this

392
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: is inspired in part by you miles underrated. Making your

393
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: own national day or making your own micro nation. The

394
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: rules for both of these are super lax and way

395
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 1: more approachable than I ever dream. Yeah, all, all you

396
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: have to do this is easier than it sounds. I

397
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: swear to God. All you have to do to get like,

398
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: what's something you want to have a national day for anything?

399
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: Blunts blunts, National Blood Day? Love it so so all

400
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: you have to do is get a local representative to

401
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: bring it up right in that. Yeah, you know, legislative body.

402
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: You can do it at the state level too, I think,

403
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: and you guys have, Yeah, we need to take down

404
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: a golf court. We we need to do a takedown

405
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: the golf course this day. Oh yeah, nationally the state level,

406
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: if you think you can state legislature, someone to say legislature,

407
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: I think you can pull it at the state level. Um. So,

408
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: like obviously you know the big deal would be federal level,

409
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: but you can you can get I think the state

410
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: Congress to pass something, and really all that means is

411
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: you just have to have everybody distracted enough to say, yeah,

412
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: fine whatever, right, Like that's great because I mean, just

413
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: like renewing the Patriot Act, national national Mr Govitchev tear

414
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: down this wall, but then it'll actually be about the

415
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: walls around golf courses in Los Angeles and they didn't

416
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: know or tear off my balls. But that's okay. I

417
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: like this. I like that we can get a national

418
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: day going. And then so I'm now, I'm really now,

419
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm really starting to strategize what the best way is

420
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: to get the okay, micro nation though, what are we

421
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: talking to? Micronation my microa? Oh what one example? For

422
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: holidays a state versus federal level. Only eighteen states I

423
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: think as of last month, have made June teenth a

424
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: state holiday. So you can you can make something a

425
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: state holiday. I leave it to you. This is you, guys,

426
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: because I have compromat on Ted lou and Adam Schiff.

427
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, we could we could get them there we

428
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: getting right into me. We can. We'll present them with

429
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: a few ideas. Yeah, give the pitch, let me go

430
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: how it goes and when you get bored of that,

431
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: then you can do something I always want to do.

432
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: You guys know what micro nations are. They're basically they're

433
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: like micro states, except they're not fully recognized by other

434
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: countries or the United Nations. One of the most famous

435
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: is the Principality of Zealand, which is right there off

436
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: the coast of the UK. It's an old military fort

437
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: and this guy just had a mood about him, moved

438
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: there and said, I am you know, it's very European

439
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: pop a flag. I'm in charge of this now, right

440
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: and uh and so I was wondering how you get

441
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: to do that, like, how do you Hutzbah's side? How

442
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: do you make that actually work? And the true story is,

443
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous. It's dumb. Okay, I rarely say that.

444
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: I try to be optimistic. It's dumb. Yeah, you have

445
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: to step one, raise a small army. Step to arm

446
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: yourselves with small nuclear weapons. Oh yeah, that one works.

447
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: But the the thing with micro nations, or really any

448
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: state geo politically is you just have to get enough

449
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: other countries to say, yeah, fine, okay, you know jack Landia,

450
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: all right, that works. We didn't like order though, like

451
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: what I got, like holler at the queen or some

452
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: shi like yeah, like I checked with Mexico. They're good. Yeah, guys,

453
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: I have a doctor's note from Mexico and it's it

454
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: says been Bolivania is a real place and we're working live.

455
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: But but so that's what I think is underrated. I mean, yes, obviously,

456
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: getting a state level holiday or a national day is

457
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: much more approachable than building your own building your own country.

458
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: I acknowledge one of those is more ambitious. But I

459
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: think I think it's surprising. At least I was surprised

460
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: that you could just if you catch you know, if

461
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: you catch a local rep on the right day, they

462
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: might say, yeah, you know, why not? Okay, I like this.

463
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: What's something you think is over it? I don't really

464
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: like to do this one, but I feel like performance

465
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: and sling that's what I thought you were gone with performance. Yeah,

466
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: I've got a little crog in my throat French rapped

467
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: hare or whatever. Yeah, okay, yeah I know that that. Sorry, Billy,

468
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: not your best friendated sling blade references in you've made

469
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: fun of me before for that, I gotta invited actual genius. Yeah,

470
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm always like, don't do a sling blade. Stop it

471
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: sling good. Okay, you're you're gonna you you're shoeing for

472
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: that sling blade reboot. Man. Everybody knows it. You know,

473
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I know that for our next image, someone's getting photoshop

474
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: and so you actually won't even be able to tell

475
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: that it's been blended. It's just gonna be the magic

476
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: of acting. Yes, uh, overrated. Sometimes it feels like a

477
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: beating a dead horse. But scoutis man Supreme Court explaining

478
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: that to people who aren't in the US and having

479
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: to go, yeah, we're a democracy, like, oh well, who

480
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: who's the final authority? Well, remember Lord of the Rings.

481
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: We got these like kind of like ring races and

482
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: they're there forever and you can't really stop him. It's

483
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: just it's weird, and I think it's a it's a

484
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: bummer to talk about for a lot of people. I

485
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: know we're probably gonna get to some of this today,

486
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: but I would make I would rate that even worse

487
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: than Summer in Atlanta, which is also incredible. Yeah, holy cow,

488
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's what is so fast? Yeah, Miles has

489
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: access to an app that blends blend's faces. That's what

490
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: I do is I just think of things Jack like movies.

491
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: He like, I'm like, hey, what about this, And he's like, dude,

492
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: it's three in the morning. But you're a rocky and

493
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm creed um. So for everybody who actually you as

494
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: Ivan Dragon was, man, it's crazy. It's my face on

495
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: a white like with white skin, and I end up

496
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: looking like Elon Musk or anyways. I know you're trying

497
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: to make a serious point, but yeah, no, no, no,

498
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: let's stay on. Let's stay Yeah, it's absolutely Yeah. The

499
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: Supreme Court has been for the past six years just

500
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: just a force for business. Like what we're about to

501
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: talk about actually, like the fact this new world order

502
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: that's not that new, but it is now completely unbridled

503
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: and just running free of you know, billionaires are now

504
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: the designers of of our world, and like that's where

505
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: that's where we're getting stuff like yeah, what if like

506
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: corporations owned by billionaires owned all the houses instead of

507
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: people and you know, all all of this ship we're

508
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: talking about and they're doing it behind closed doors and

509
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: it's it's not benefiting anyone except for you know, extremely

510
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: wealthy people. I can't even get away with a late

511
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: fee of the library. You know what I mean? Right?

512
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: And I said, what better time to plug my appearance

513
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: on Behind the Bastards with Robert Evans, where part one

514
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: of the Clarence Thomas story featuring truly just dropped. If

515
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: you want to fucking scream inside your body, listen to this.

516
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: This is a four part fucking dive into somebody. So

517
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: and the first three are just like his life and

518
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: you're like, oh no, he's real, like a fucking weird

519
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: Fanos like person who's just dealing with a lot of ship.

520
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: Fanos actually was probably a little bit better, more more convincing,

521
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: had something I believe done. But well, yeah, all right,

522
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: let's move on to a story. The the hook is Coachella.

523
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: The thing hanging on that hook is the entirety of

524
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: our crumbling system. Yeah. Yeah, So the Coachella Owners, which

525
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: a e G. Is the company that most people are

526
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: probably familiar with. But they are owned by the Antialts Corporation,

527
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: which is not, as you pointed out, mild the made

528
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: up Nazi company from the Man in the High Tower.

529
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: But it doesn't corporation. I'm like, yeah, yeah, they own everything.

530
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: You're an a e G that actually stands for the

531
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: anxiouts Entertainment group if you were aware, or a excess

532
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: dot com where you buy tickets like they they they're

533
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: behind Coachella there, behind Stagecoach. They own a ton of

534
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: sports venues, like they're they have their hands on fucking

535
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: everything like in the in terms of like live entertainment.

536
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: And we talked recently just just some context about how

537
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: Coachella is like this marketing event that was created by

538
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: people who are like, yeah, man, people really liked the

539
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: like Woodstock and like those idealistic things. What if we

540
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: took that but made it completely just marketing and devoid

541
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: of any value other than like cultural signifiers. What what then? Right?

542
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: So Chella like all the way down is you know,

543
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: it feels very it starts to feel more gross when

544
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: we get through this story where you figure out it's

545
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: like is it a collection. Yeah, it's like a donation

546
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: gathering event to put more right wing wackles in office.

547
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: So not to say that the line is that clear,

548
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: but when you start digging in popular information, if you

549
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: follow that newsletter of the work of Judd Legum reported

550
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: along with the Rolling along with the Rolling Stones journalistic

551
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: and fucking all right, Yeah, exactly. They're they're doing their thing.

552
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: They reported that, you know, the company, the parent company,

553
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: the Acts Corporation, made a pretty sizable donation to r

554
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: a g A, which is Republican Attorneys General Association. Just

555
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: days after the Row decision, the jobs decision that overturned

556
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: ROW came down the r a g A. Like the

557
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: day Row was overturned, they blasted out to their supporters said,

558
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: hey man, we could really use some cash, man, and

559
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: because we're gonna need to put in more attorneys general

560
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: that are gonna fucking lay this fucked up human rights

561
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: violating hammer down. Are you in? Can we count on you?

562
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: And clearly the on Shot Corporation was like, yes, you

563
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: can just give us a few days to get that

564
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: money together and we'll get it right to you. And

565
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: this isn't the first time this company or their owner

566
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: has given to right wing causes either. Like in March,

567
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: his company donated a combined like seven fifty thousand dollars

568
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: to the GOP Leadership Funds, f are like focused on

569
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: getting majorities in the House and Senate. They're you know,

570
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: like they're called like the leadership Funds or whatever. And

571
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: he also seems to have a knack for giving to

572
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: anti lgbt Q groups as well, like the Alliance for

573
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: Defending Freedom, the National Christian Foundation, and the Family Research Council.

574
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: When he pressed about it on Shoots, Defense was called

575
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: it fake news that he but they're like, these are

576
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: these are fucking tax that you have? This this is

577
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: document you talking about and added quote I unequivocally support

578
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: the rights of all people without regard to sexual orientation

579
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: end quote. Okay um. And then at time he's like, look,

580
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: I can't see sexual orientation, like right, everyone looks the

581
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: same When I never had sex, it's really not relevant

582
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: to me. I don't really want to have an opinion

583
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: on that. Right, you know, I give to a lot

584
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: of people. And that's the thing. I want to take

585
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: a side note here, because you're you're pointing out something

586
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: that I wish more people acknowledged, especially in this field.

587
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: The more innocuous the name of an organization is, the

588
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: more fuccory they tend to be up to, right, like

589
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: like the the Family Research Council, right, Alliance Defending Freedom.

590
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: It's like back when the CIA had Air America. And

591
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's that sounds dope. That's fine, But now

592
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: it's like a knee jerk reaction for me. Man, every

593
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: time I hear a really innocuous sounding name for a

594
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: political organization, I'm like, the clean sounds because they're Yeah,

595
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: when those groups are getting together, all the founders like,

596
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: what if we called it the Gay People Shouldn't Exist Alliance?

597
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: And then people like no, no, no, They're like, why

598
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: that's what we're here for. You got to say something

599
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: like the Family Research Council. Do you have any idea

600
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: how many Harvard and Yale graduates we have working to

601
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: come up with a beautiful name that sounds perfect and

602
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: hits people's brains exactly right? Yeah, we don't call it

603
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: Gay People Shouldn't Exist, you dumb funk. Even if we have,

604
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: we have all the money in America to spend on

605
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: coming up with the right name for them. So when

606
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: he was pressed about it, they then found it's like, okay,

607
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna stop funding any groups it

608
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: turns out that are involved with any anti l g

609
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: b t Q anything. But then Pitchfork, like a year

610
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: or two later, looked into it again and he was

611
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: just giving a smaller organization to have a history of

612
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: anti lgbt Q like activity, and so again, you know,

613
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: this is just sort of when the parent company was

614
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: asked about this whole you know, their support for four birth,

615
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, took a very similar path of

616
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: Like one of these spokespeople for the company said that,

617
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, did the company and the owner, Philip Ancios,

618
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: does you know he believes and he totally in the

619
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: right to choose and did not support the reversal of row,

620
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: And either the company or the individuals himself received, saw

621
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: or was aware of a Republican Attorneys General Association fundraising

622
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: solicitation based on the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Uh

623
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: t a C has contributed to r A g A

624
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: since at least, no contribution to r A g A

625
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: by the Anciens Corporation or mr ass has been based upon,

626
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: informed by, or motivated by any R A g A

627
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: position on ROW or abortion. Mr Asos makes contributions to

628
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: numerous organizations, usually for specific reasons. He does not review

629
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: or support each of the positions taken by such organizations. Okay,

630
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: I gotta go fuck just a straight up run on

631
00:37:54,400 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: word blast to be like, yikes, that's how that? How

632
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: is that any different from someone saying, Okay, did did

633
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: I donate to the Nazi Party? Yes, but it's because

634
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: I liked the uniforms. I did not do much other research.

635
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: I think the arm bands are cool. It's like their

636
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: stance on vegetarianism and not smoking. Okay, so get off

637
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: my back. Like if you if you do you think

638
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: everybody should smoke, you want to animals, then who's the

639
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: real monster. I'm just a single issue donator. Hey, look,

640
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: I met him in a reddit above subreddit group where

641
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: it was people who had a beef against art schools

642
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: that they didn't get into. That's what we bonded over first.

643
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know that's what he was up to. That's

644
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: not fair, Like I just only know him from Reddit.

645
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: That's the same energy that all these people have. But

646
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: this is just again another example of how the billionaire

647
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: class has a public facing company that's aligned with a

648
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: festival like Coachella, yet in private, the owners and even

649
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: in public the company itself are actually a bunch of

650
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: sick fox who are hell bent on ding democracy and

651
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: just I just wanted there's a there's an interesting report

652
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: that came on the last week from Common Dreams and

653
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: a few other groups that just showed just how much

654
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: billionaires contribute to the two parties. So the Congressional Leadership

655
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: Fund and the Senate Leadership Funds, these are both funds

656
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: that and shoulds direct donated to directly raised it combined

657
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: on eight point three million in the first sixteen months

658
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: of the two campaign cycle. Nearly half about ninety million,

659
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: or forty percent, came from just twenty seven billionaires. And

660
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: On Shoots is one of these twenty seven billionaires. A

661
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: whopping eighty six percent of the GOPS billionaire money comes

662
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: from quote Wall Street tycoons, which are the people who

663
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: benefit most from our shitty tax laws and loopholes, so

664
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: that they have a vested interest to stay in the

665
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: game of influencing politics. And then on the Democratic side,

666
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: you look, they raised about a hundred fifty four million

667
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: in that period. About twenty five point eight million, or

668
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: seventeen percent, only came from nine teen billionaires from Democrat Democrats,

669
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: so they're only holding to nineteen Democrats aren't giving as

670
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: much but still outsized donations, and a majority of those

671
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: billionaire contributions again comes from the investment sector. I mean,

672
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Clinton administration is the one who let

673
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: Wall Street become a total fucking casino. So it's been

674
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: a good it's been a nice relationship since then. And

675
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: in the shape of the government like Wall Street logic,

676
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: like we're we're not you know, allocating funds for like

677
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: projects to help the public. We are investing in these things.

678
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: And then we use Wall Street logic and like investor

679
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: call logic when we're like talking to the press about

680
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: fucking like well we're means testing everything, Like everything has

681
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: to be like framed as this like financial thing that's

682
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: like paying back to which Americans especially it needs a pension,

683
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: get a four oh one K. That's the new rule,

684
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: right right exactly. I mean this story just I feel

685
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: like we could just cover this story every day from now,

686
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: like this is the whole thing. They like that is

687
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: so much money that is being put in by these

688
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: billionaires and they're not doing it out of kindness or

689
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: the because they don't like pay attention what happens their money.

690
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: Billionaires pay way more attention to what happens to their

691
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: money than you and I do. Like they love their money.

692
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: They are absolutely they're doing it because they expect something

693
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: in return and will make sure they get it, or

694
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: they will destroy the person who doesn't give it to them.

695
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: Like that is the mentality of a billionaire. That is

696
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: how you become a billionaire's by like liking your money

697
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: and making it work for you at like you know,

698
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: two degrees that are just completely absent of any like

699
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: morality or anything like that. But so this is what,

700
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: like the the Supreme Court has made possible, is that

701
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: we have an entire system that is just designed by billionaires.

702
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: Like when you look at the founding of Coachella, like

703
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: the two people who founded it were just like people

704
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: in punk bands who are like the sort of people

705
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: who maybe in the past generation like start like creating

706
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 1: like a community, like you know, build, build something cool.

707
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: They're like cool people who like you know, rocket stars

708
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 1: like to hang out with like there it like plugged

709
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: into the artistry. And instead, you know, they are fed

710
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: into this system that is controlled by billionaires. And the

711
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: results of that is that like Coachella, a cool idea

712
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: becomes a funding mechanism for right wing like politics and

713
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: for ideals that just end up protecting rich people's money.

714
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: That is that is what the entire American project is

715
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: at this point, for for all intents and purposes, and

716
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: it's all happening behind closed doors like the public. Yeah,

717
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: well the right, but it's not not behind closed doors.

718
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: It's just not the part that the media pays attention to.

719
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: And that is because the media is also like the

720
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: amount of money that they're investing. They're creating so many jobs,

721
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: like the people who like created coach hell like that

722
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: every like New York Times, fucking you know writer, they're

723
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: making like a good living. They these people's money is

724
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: putting people's children through college, and like those people now

725
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: take their marching orders from billionaires and like that is

726
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: how you get to a system that that we're in

727
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: right now. That it's just it's completely fucked. Yeah, I

728
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: mean that that Upton Sinclair quote couldn't be true or

729
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: true or where it's difficult to get a man to

730
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: understand something when a salary depends on not understanding it,

731
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: And that's been true since fucking Upton Sinclair. Also looking

732
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: at this be like whoa, I feel like we get

733
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: angry at the New York Times. We get angry at

734
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: and like I feel like they they're not making the

735
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: mistakes because they want to be Necessarily, there are billions

736
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: of dollars that are sending thousands of people's kids through

737
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: college that are buying that bias, and like yeah, and

738
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: same with the people who found at Coachella, And now

739
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: like are you know working these like swanky giant things

740
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: and have like a million dollar mansions and ship like that,

741
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: and you know, like that is this is the system.

742
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: It's like billionaire money just buying a friendly you know,

743
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: a friendly to billionaire atmosphere. Yeah, and all this focus

744
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: on their maintaining their wealth has just led to just

745
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: complete destruction of social safety nets in this country and

746
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: then crimes and I can't be because no one has

747
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: options or supported because they're none of ring cameras to

748
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: hack or whatever fucking logic they're trying to. But like

749
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: but since like you know, they can buy votes, we've

750
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: just been sliding the scale the other way. And we're

751
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: just like you're saying, Jack, we don't live in a

752
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: place that considers the needs of a working person. We

753
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: live in a place that always centers what the desires

754
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: of the billionaire classes. And then this can dress it

755
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: up as policy or these other things, but the gist

756
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: is always gonna be if this ship takes a bite

757
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: out of the billionaire classes fucking bank account. You can

758
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: pretty much bet that this ship will not pass because

759
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: they have too much influence with the people who have

760
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: the votes to make things a reality. And I just

761
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: want to say, those twenty seven billionaires that were bankrolling

762
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: the GOP super PACs alone, their wealth increased by eighty

763
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: two point four billion during the fucking pandemic, meaning that

764
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: the fucking barely ninety million that they gave is less

765
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: than one tenth of one one percent of their overall

766
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: pandemic era gains. That's all the costs. That's like, that's

767
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: an investment that the average person would salivate for, you know,

768
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: like you would do dirt for that. I would, I

769
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: would commit crime for that. But the other thing that

770
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: I think is part and parcel of this we're talking

771
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: about the complicity of this system at a structural level,

772
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: is that there's no real insider trading law for Congress,

773
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: And it's it's an a political point and people sometimes

774
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: don't like to hear it, especially if they consider themselves

775
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: very partisan, right, and they're saying, oh, you know, but

776
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: my side or this one is the good one. For

777
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: some reason, like Pelosi, I believe is all is cyclically

778
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: in hot water that somehow mysteriously goes away when people

779
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: learn about the profiteering that occurs on a routine, regular

780
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: I would say normalized and systemic basis there. I know

781
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: for a lot of us listening today, this is maybe

782
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 1: we're preaching the choir. Maybe the statistics and specifics are new,

783
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: and maybe it's really disheartening, But it's the ruth. It's

784
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot of conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy on the

785
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: part of get measurable. You can, yeah, you can tie

786
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: the amount of their proximity to an industry to begin

787
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: to understand why they vote a certain way or why

788
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: certain legislative ideas are injected into bills and things like that.

789
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear. But again, if the if the mechanism

790
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: that people used to understand it is going to be

791
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: pushed through like a fun house mayor of corporate interests,

792
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: the ship that they're going to see is not going

793
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: to be that. It's gonna be Ah Joe Mention, Christian Cinema.

794
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: It's all them. It's like, no, it's all of you.

795
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: But you're lucky that these two were particularly lacking moral

796
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: scruples that they're like visibly just going to be like

797
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: the centerpiece for it for it all. But really these

798
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: are just these are just like a zip on the

799
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: gigantic ass of our fucked up political system where it's

800
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: like they need to zoom out look at the whole nasty.

801
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: But because it's the rules sound like you guys were

802
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: talking about kids before in some previous episodes, you know,

803
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 1: and I hope everybody's kids well listening to this, but

804
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: if you have ever caught your very young child trying

805
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: to cheat at a game, it sounds like that's the

806
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: kid who wrote a lot of these laws, especially around

807
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: super past. It's like, don't know, it's not directly you know,

808
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: contributing right now, I get to have the power. You

809
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: don't have. You don't get to have the superpower like

810
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: I have the Yeah, well, hold on, what kind of

811
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: control are you using the wait, that's not fair. You

812
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: can put you can set the buttons to turbo. That's

813
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: why you sucking me up with Chuen Lee. That is

814
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: an argument that Miles got into with my six year

815
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: old recently. By the way, Miles is always pushing to

816
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: uh pull the focus out on the whole nasty But

817
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: I will say exactly stop zooming in on those zip man.

818
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: But I mean this is oh my god, this is

819
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: this directly ties to the national mood of like people

820
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: just being like what like what like we the surreal

821
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: phenomenon of having the president that we elected being in

822
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: office and not being able to do anything he wants

823
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: to do, and the fact that this isn't given as

824
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: the explanation is like, well, he can't do it because

825
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: the billionaires don't want him to do it. Like that

826
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: that should be eighty point font on the front page

827
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: of the New York Times, like every time something fails.

828
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: But instead it's like, yeah, cinemon mansion got in his

829
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: way again, and you know that's instead of like, yeah,

830
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: this should be all we're talking about it. But you know,

831
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: those same billionaires own or invested they own the you know,

832
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: Washington Post, or they own the corporations that advertise on

833
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: the New York Times, and so you have to like,

834
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: you know, listen to a podcast story about Coachella to

835
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: hear somebody talk about it. I mean, this is it's

836
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: just a it is frustrating, and when really every time

837
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: if there was like I don't know, some shred of

838
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: journalistic integrity. You could just say, here's the bill that's

839
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: being proposed. Here who here's who stands to make less

840
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,479
Speaker 1: money as an industry because of these changes, right, Because

841
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: like even with something like Build Back Better, we're talking

842
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: about clean energy and we're talking about moving towards renewables,

843
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: So that sounds like the money is going to be

844
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: moving away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy. Now,

845
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: when you say the money is moving away from fossil fuels,

846
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: you're damn sure that the fossil fuel industry is going

847
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: to be giving as much fucking money as they can

848
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: and getting in the ears as many legislators as possible

849
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: to make sure that money doesn't go towards renewables because

850
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: they probably most companies were probably more invested in trying

851
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: to kneecap renewables then seeing the future and being like,

852
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, we should probably get it on this ship too,

853
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: because that's that's kind of where it's at, and now

854
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: we're the ones paying for it because a group of wealthy,

855
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: fucking people are saying, you know what, in this instance,

856
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: I can't stand to make less money, and guess what

857
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: I can spend fucking less than one percent of what

858
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: I made in the pandemic and make this ship disappear

859
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: neo feudalism. That's them shaking my fist in the air.

860
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: And I think that's the hard part, I think for

861
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: just in general, Jack, like you're talking about how like

862
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: you've had an evolution from starting the show right where

863
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: there's a part where we really do want to believe

864
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: that the way that we've been raised or taught of

865
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: how the political system works is actually centering the the

866
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: American you know, And that's like the first lie that

867
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: I think most people have to Like. I think again,

868
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: many people are still reeling with the fact that, like,

869
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: is that not true? And then because if that's not true,

870
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, then what do I have to do?

871
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: And I think that's scary too. What does that mean

872
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 1: I have to do? Then? If no one's looking out

873
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: for me? And I think being outraged and getting you know,

874
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: more aware of what's happening around you is is the

875
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: key to that. At least that's moving to our micronation. Yeah,

876
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: we're going to be micronation of my one my address.

877
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: I think I think we should open it in the

878
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: dilapidated water park river Country in Disney World. You know,

879
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 1: just that they're already used to like having a micro

880
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: nation down there. Yeah, old theme parks and malls. They

881
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: have kind of infrastructure like plumbing and ship like that, ventilation. Yeah,

882
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, I just got like my any

883
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: any micronation I've involved in is going to involve water parks.

884
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: Colonize the water parks. Thank you. The time has come.

885
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: Colonize abandoned malls and water parks. It's time to colonize them.

886
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back.

887
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Spooky America. And we're back. And so, Ben,

888
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: you brought this through you you said this over. And

889
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: I did not know about the Georgian Guide Stones. I

890
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: think I had maybe heard about them years ago, maybe

891
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: on your podcast, But I think they've been called like

892
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: the American Stonehenge, like which appropriately they are very white

893
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: supremacist in origin, so as any American monument should be.

894
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: I guess, oh there, Oh they have a white supremacy

895
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: origin story the Guide Stones. Yeah, I think so, yeah, right,

896
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: like that. We don't have definitive proof who built them,

897
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: but we right because I have the USA today because

898
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: the idea of what the guide stones are of like

899
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: stone slabs with like instructions written to about in a

900
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: camp used as a calendar and the fucking clock. And

901
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, that seems innocuous enough, but yeah,

902
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: and the the instructions are like how to repopular, how

903
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: to exist, how to govern the planet Earth after a

904
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: nuclear holocaust definitely you gen or some sort of global

905
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: near extinction level events. So the inscription is in a

906
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: number of different languages and they're like a new Ten Commandments,

907
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: the more religiously minded would call them. Definitely. No, I

908
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: can't officially say the identity of the person has been revealed,

909
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: but it's been pretty it's pretty compelling evidence based on

910
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: a documentary that arrived at the identity through unethical means.

911
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: But if you look at the inscription to get creeped out.

912
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: First off, there's nothing else in Alberton, Georgia. It is

913
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: far away from Atlanta, as far away from a lot

914
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. It touts itself as like the granite capital

915
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: of the world, because every town has to have something right,

916
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: And if you look at the sscription, it is at

917
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: the very least pro eugenesis. It says maintain humanity under

918
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: five hundred million in perpetual balance with nature Number one.

919
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: Number two guide reproduction wisely improving fitness and diversity. Mmmmmm

920
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 1: diversity though, that's good that it'll throw them off the center. Yeah,

921
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: but maybe by diversity they were like some Catholics or like, yeah,

922
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: a diversity of shades of right exactly. We might have

923
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: some Swedes, but never too many, you know how they are.

924
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: But the guy who commissioned this was going by a

925
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: pseudonym R. C. Christian, which is like so dumb. It's

926
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: like when you see Christian. Yeah, it's big soda. That's

927
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: that's who made the guidestones because of some kind of

928
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: I would say they're insincere, but they might actually be bonkers.

929
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: Local politicians in the area the guide stones came under

930
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: a lot of heat because they were seen as part

931
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,479
Speaker 1: of the Alex Jones style New World Order, and one

932
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: political in particular that you guys know of was tent

933
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: toes out on destroying the Georgia guidestones was Marjorie Taylor Green. Yeah. Yeah,

934
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: she was like this is this was I kid you not.

935
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: This was one of her platforms running for office. She

936
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: was like, first thing I'm gonna do is blow up

937
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,760
Speaker 1: those guidestones because funk the New World Order and people

938
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: people were like, yes, finally a reasonable voice in politics,

939
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: and like one awkward guy who's like, what what if

940
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: they what if they agreed with you on a lot

941
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: of exactly you nailed at Miles. That's the thing is

942
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: so nuts to me. It's because even a cursory amount

943
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: of research will show that the current right wing continggent

944
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: that was against these things and regularly vandalizing them eventually

945
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: leading to their leading to the explosion and they're being demolished,

946
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: they would have agreed with everything the builders of the

947
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: guide Stone set. So it's really scoring an old goal

948
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: on their field. And I'm not above the schaden freud,

949
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: you know. I hate that. There's I hate that. I

950
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: hate whenever you miss something like unique because as as

951
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: we're talking about off air America or the United States

952
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: excuse me sorry Canada, Yeah, okay, that one marka like

953
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: shoots far above its weight class when it comes to

954
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: spooky places, you know, like they're ancient places with like

955
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: ancient civilizations that have so much more history than the

956
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: United States today, which spent a lot of time erasing

957
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: the history of the civilizations that existed before it became

958
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: a thing built right on top of it, just moved

959
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: right in and started using their dishes. That's a real

960
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: thing that happened. In Plymouth. They showed up the plague

961
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,479
Speaker 1: that the Europeans that brought with them had wiped out

962
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: the entire like a bustling city, and they just moved

963
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: into their houses and started using their plates. And then

964
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: they were like, man, it's really nice. Have you been

965
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: to Ohio? Like the Ohio's got like streets and ships

966
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: through the forest. You can just like ride your horse

967
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: through its. Yeah, they're like the settlers, Uh, settlers just

968
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: came through them. We're like, we're good here. And there's

969
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: there's so much That's what I mean. There is such

970
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: a proliferation of strange places here in the United States.

971
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: And a big part of that, as as you guys

972
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: brought up earlier, was that the US is kind of

973
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: a haunted house. Yeah, I am of the opinion and

974
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: that it's always Halloween in America on many levels. And

975
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: the Georgia Guidestones is only one example. In this pretty

976
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: recent example. It was built in nineteen eighty, so it

977
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: didn't have that long of a track run, not near

978
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: as much as some of the other things were going

979
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: to discuss, Like you, you guys, are you live much

980
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: closer than I do to the infamous Winchester Mansion, Right,

981
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: I've been Winchester Mystery. I've never been either. But this

982
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: made like, just thinking about this made me be like,

983
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: what am I doing with my life if I'm not

984
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: visiting the Winchester Mystery House. But that's like, so that's

985
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: where the heiress to the Winchester rifles, like, you know,

986
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: a death merchant, the heiress to like a death merchant,

987
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: lost her tether to reality and just kept building and

988
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: rebuilding a mansion like full of like hidden passages and

989
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: stairwells that like lead into a wall. I don't lead anywhere.

990
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just it's a great monument to

991
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: what America actually is, which is a bunch of demented,

992
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: extremely wealthy people building just wherever the hell they want,

993
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want. And it's not it's not good,

994
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: it's creepy. I had heard that part of that was

995
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: wrapped up in tourism. I'm not sure. I'm not I'm

996
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: not an expert on this, but I'm wondering for you, guys,

997
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: how how much of that you see as a true

998
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: story of a person going mad and and you know,

999
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: being surrounded by synco fans and no one being reasonable,

1000
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: or how much of it kind of accreated over time

1001
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: and folklore. I mean, if I if I were somehow

1002
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: an owner of a place like that, I'm just gonna

1003
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because I'm not the best person,

1004
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: I would fucking lean into the hauntings and thank you,

1005
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: thank you for validating that. Guy. I mean, when like

1006
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: rich people do stuff, I think it's easy to really like,

1007
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:50,959
Speaker 1: Oh they've unlust their mind, or they're rich. We don't

1008
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: live like them at all, and they just live in

1009
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: a world. Or they're like you know, I've always as

1010
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: someone who's not had to do much for anything I have,

1011
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: I've really like secret doors. So I'm just gonna put

1012
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of those around and that helps me give

1013
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: get a sense of satisfaction and achievement. And you were like,

1014
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, who would do that? And you're like,

1015
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, some fucking man child or something like wealthy,

1016
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: rich people with too much money and too much time

1017
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: on their hand. No, I'm gonna I really want some

1018
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: kind of like secret door kind of think in a house,

1019
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: like but I'd have to build it myself and it

1020
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: would take forever, and I would have Like the thing

1021
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: is with those you gotta make them look good, you

1022
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Take book that you pull has

1023
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: to look like a real book. I would I would

1024
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: screw it up. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, it's only a mystery.

1025
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Thing that I could imagine doing is like a hole

1026
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: in the ground with a carpet over it that is

1027
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: like people fall through if you if you walk over it.

1028
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: But so it's dangerous. So your your house is like

1029
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: a fucking Kevin McAllister by necessity, just because I'm not

1030
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm not handy enough to build a secret door like

1031
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: a light switch the flip and then like the bookcase

1032
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: spins around. I was I was thinking, like, how are

1033
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: you living, Jack, Like, what what has happened in your

1034
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: life where you thought by necessity, it's time to really

1035
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: start thinking of trapdoors because these people are coming at you,

1036
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: well they're coming from me Gold you know, it's a yeah,

1037
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. America is an underrated like spooky place

1038
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: built on top of the apocalypse of a superior civilization,

1039
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: So any anything that kind of further underlines that, and well, yeah, yeah,

1040
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: I think you know when the sort of like m

1041
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: O of the country is to bury and not acknowledge

1042
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: that your worst transgressions. It's like being in a house

1043
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: or someone has a like a stench coming from another

1044
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: room and the owners insisting everything's chill. You're like, I'm like,

1045
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: what is everything? Well, yeah, it's fine, it's fine. Don't

1046
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: just don't worry about that door. I didn't then and

1047
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: sounds coming out of it. I don't know. I'm talking

1048
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: to the realtorm. I'm supposed to get a refund on

1049
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: that anyway. But check out this. I got a vertical

1050
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: spit here so I can do my own outpast store.

1051
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. And you're like, that's the vibe here

1052
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. They're just it's not it's fine.

1053
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fine. It's they have five vertical spits

1054
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: next to each other, just like they can't they can't

1055
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: stop themselves from like acquiring vertical spits. Like it's just

1056
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: the like, so much of it is just the product

1057
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,439
Speaker 1: of a diseased mind and a diseased culture. I highly

1058
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: recommend Jerome, Arizona, which I didn't see on any of

1059
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: these lists, but it's you know, outside Sedona. It's just

1060
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,919
Speaker 1: a ghost town that was like a booming town around

1061
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: the ninet twenties and then the copper mind shut down

1062
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: because I think they figured out that it was like

1063
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: poisoning people and so everybody like it turns. They went

1064
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: from like hundreds or like tens of thousands to like

1065
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: hundreds of people, like two hundred people and most of

1066
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: them lived at like the sanitarium and like you can

1067
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: just still go. It's all just like left like that.

1068
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: There's a tourist industry that's like ghost hotel and ship

1069
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: but it's pretty it's pretty cool. There's a town in

1070
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania it's just sucking on fire, Centralia, Pennsylvania. It's just

1071
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: been on fire. Everybody accepts it. They're like, oh, yeah,

1072
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: that's the uh oh swinging a miss on our part,

1073
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, that that whole thing is on fire. I

1074
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: mean I I always wasn't it. They buried their garbage

1075
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: and lit it on fire, and it's just been on

1076
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: fire for like, you know, decades, sixty two years something

1077
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: like that. But the thing that I always found astonishing

1078
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,919
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I suspect this is true. But

1079
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: one of the weird things to me about the US

1080
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: is everybody in any state, whatever your neck of the

1081
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: woods is, everybody has like a creepy place and it's

1082
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: it's always a seriously creepy place. It's never like, uh

1083
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we like the old um, we like the

1084
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: old band in skate park or something like that. It's like, no,

1085
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: this is where, this is where they were wearing the

1086
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: skins and uh you know one of them was the sheriff.

1087
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: And everybody's like, oh that, yeah, yeah on Fourth Street.

1088
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I remember that. What do you mean drying rack?

1089
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Don't worry, don't worry about Yeah, boy,

1090
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: you are great at questions. That's why I love having

1091
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: you over. What schwarma from the spit over here? Actually,

1092
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 1: funny thing you asked, because that the Mexicans learned how

1093
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: to do output store from the Lebanese immigrants who brought

1094
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: the concept of swarma to Mexico. Anyway, So that's my

1095
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: new vertical grip there too. Yeah, sixth one I bought

1096
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: this week. Actually, yeah, what the I mean? It's so

1097
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: funny that we have like Chernobyl is like such a

1098
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: like known term and like everybody knows that story and

1099
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: there's a great HBO show about that. But like America, meanwhile,

1100
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: has a town, an entire town that was evacuated because

1101
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: they lit it on the fire underground and there's just

1102
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: and like it's burning, like it's a hell built out

1103
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: of like the garbage that they were producing. Like it's

1104
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: how I'm assuming in Russia they know the name of

1105
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: that town and like they have movies about that or

1106
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: they would. Yeah, I think, you know. It's always it's

1107
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: fascinating to read travel guides from other countries that are

1108
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: for people traveling to the United States. It's a real

1109
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: cold shower. It's a real eye opener. Don't don't don't

1110
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: talk about politics that people will be less informed than

1111
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: you write. I saw that like a German book one time,

1112
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: and they said, also guns are normal, Yeah, try not

1113
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: to hang out around them. Yeah, but try to remain calm,

1114
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: as your reaction may seem suspicious. Yeah, like stuff like

1115
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: that the first sentence and all guide books for people

1116
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: coming from abroad here, it's like, so you believe what

1117
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: you see on TV? Huh, Well, here's some pointers to

1118
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: get you actually acclimated for what you might see in

1119
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: the US. America one giant murder house, which is to

1120
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: so many people are constantly baffled by the inequality in

1121
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: the US too, like from abroad, and you're like, no, man,

1122
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: like I said at the times, like the US just

1123
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: has great pr like Visa via the propaganda machine. That's

1124
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: all it is. That's it. And I get that white

1125
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: be like, oh my gosh, they were like unhoused people

1126
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, like I thought it was Beverly Hills.

1127
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: It's like, no, it's like most places in the US.

1128
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: There's just only two groups of people, people that are

1129
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 1: making it and people that are barely surviving. M because

1130
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: like gang, I wanna let let us know. To Ben's point,

1131
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: like everybody has their spooky spooky as local like home

1132
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: or human slaughter or whatever. It is just spooky, was

1133
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: the spookiest thing from where you grew up and not

1134
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: like be like national news to like if it's too big,

1135
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: like fine, but yeah, you hit me with those deep

1136
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: cuts because I'm I just don't give a shit about

1137
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's funny, like when I think about where

1138
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: kids go, I remember be like, yo, you want to

1139
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: go to the old Nazi headquarters they built and like, yeah, yeah,

01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: it's the palaceae There is a Nazi summer camp in

1141
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: the Palisades, and then it's like out deep in the

Speaker 1: Santa Monico Mountains and you can like walk there. My

1143
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 1: wife and I walked there while she was nine months

1144
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: pregnant with our first and she like when we were there,

1145
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: which is like a forty five minute walk into the woods,

1146
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 1: her she thought her water broke. I was like, damn,

1189
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 1: big fan of a sketch comedy group out out your

1190
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: Way in Los Angeles called Chris and Jack. And for

1191
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: several years now, one of the guys, Chris, has they

1192
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: they've made this recurring thing about trying to make a

1193
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: national holiday. It is called July six Park. It is

1194
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: a terrible pun on Jurassic Park because the guy Chris

1195
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: love Jurassic Park. I should you not. They are like

1196
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 1: super into this and it comes up every year and

1197
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: if they're listening, I follow, like I tune in in

1198
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: early July and then stay through July for the after aftermath,

1199
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: so check them out next year. Like they actually flew

1200
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: to Hawaii to where parts of Jurassic Park were filmed.

1201
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: And the funny thing about it is one guy is

1202
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: super into it and the other guys just sort of

1203
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: putting up with his best friend, you know. And I

1204
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,920

1217
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: Nazi structures and the like. And by old dilapidated Nazi structures,

1218
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean this country. So I just want to. I

1219
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 1: want to find out yelp dot com. I found a

1220
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: the worst review I could find for the Nazi compound.

1221
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: It was a three star. Uh. Most people are pretty

1222
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, it's pretty fucking freaking. But one person

1223
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: was like, the worst is a three stars. Someone said, look,

1224
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: it's this Nazi compound. Gives you some fucking you know,

1225
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: uh stats on it from how it was built in

1226
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: the ninety thirties and says once you get down there,

1227
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: the abandoned buildings are open to look inside. Colorful graffiti

1228
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: lined the buildings and makes for great photos. Three stars

1229
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: because a lot of the time you find stoners and

1230
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: people just getting drunk and ruining it for everyone. What
