WEBVTT - Secret Nuclear Programs 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.320 From UFOs two, Ghosts and government cover ups. History is 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:08.000 riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:16.560 learn the stuff they don't want you to now. Greetings everyone, 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.119 welcome to the show. My name is Matt and my 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.160 name is Ben, and I've got my rock star right here. 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.400 A couple of notes, and this is stuff they don't 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.400 want you to know. Yes, and today we are coming 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.320 to you with our super producer Noel from the bunker 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.920 at How Stuff Works. Hey, did you hear his voice 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.640 in the beginnings. Yeah, that's the guy at the end 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.320 as well. Sometimes that's right enough to hear him. Uh. Yes. So, 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.240 in addition to being the producer and making so many 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:53.519 excellent edits to all of the audio podcast everything you 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.960 know what, Noel is also a bass player and he's 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.520 kind of awesome. So you should check this out. Blue 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.760 Bloods from Atlanta and Brothers from Atlanta. It's really awesome. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.600 And they're both from Athens, Georgia. Excuse me, not Atlanta, Georgia. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.040 One am I thinking you ruined Christmas? Yeah? So, in 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:16.559 addition to recording all of the audio podcasts four House 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:22.039 Stuff Works, Nol is building a bunker here in our 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.479 audio studio. Now, when we say bunker, we mean we 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.520 have to have some sound insulation here, uh, to keep 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.360 the video studio in the audio studio from leaking into 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.559 each other. Um, We've gotta work on the roof and stuff. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.360 Yeah it's uh, it's pretty nice in here. Man. It's 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.360 a fixture rubber. But I'm liking it. Um. I think 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.040 maybe we need some more ammunition. Um, could use some 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:50.280 more canned goods, some lead shielding. Maybe put this, uh 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.800 a couple of clicks underground. Yeah, very possible. I don't 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.440 think we can build it closes under But why are 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.480 we talking about Bunker's great question for any one who 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.080 happened not to read the title of the episode, Uh, 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:09.400 this is our show Notes episode on secret nuclear weapons, 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:16.079 secret nuclear weapons programs? Or what did you say before? Alleged? Right? Yes, 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.920 we okay, yes, to be absolutely fair, and thank you 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:25.000 for making that point, Matt, we will need to say 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.800 allegedly at nauseum throughout this podcast. And why do we 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.560 need to do that? Well, we need to do that 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:37.200 because there are still some countries that allegedly finger quote 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.720 feel the finger quotes when I say this, allegedly have 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.880 That's fine, I'm sorry, it's happening. Deal with it. And 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.240 the number one thing that we found when we looked 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:56.000 at secret nukes in our video episode was that, um, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:00.320 it's more common than people have thought originally. Right, yeah, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.480 well it's it's a sought after thing. It's nuclear power 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.760 basically gives you a card to play against any other 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.280 state that would want to maybe bully you a little bit. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.280 And when you've got that card to play, you know, 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.320 by the way, we have nukes, even if they have nukes, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.840 it's that mutually assured destruction that it really kind of 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.600 helps you sit at a diplomatic table more than just 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:30.720 getting pushed around. Yes. In uh theories about international politics, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.840 this strategy is called deterrence, the idea that if you 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.200 and I met are two separate antagonistic countries, um, and 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.880 we may or may not have some sort of beef 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.839 that could result in a war, we will we will 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.800 be less likely to engage in any kind of conflict 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.920 with each other because we both have the the real 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.160 life version of the ultimate nullifier. And that is for 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.560 the Fantastic Four fans out there, sorry movies, yeah, hey, 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.200 thank you, But point being the idea that having such 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:15.280 a potentially dangerous weapon. UH could dissuade people from invading 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.919 or uh engaging economic terrorism, Uh, simply by virtue of 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:26.760 having this nuclear weapon. Uh. It's it's tremendously tempting for 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:32.120 every head of state, from a dictator two a democratically 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.039 elected president. And we've been in this position, been for 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.400 quite a while now, where all of these there are 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.599 many countries that do have nuclear technology and weaponry, and 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.719 a lot of them are allied on different sides. You know, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.160 you go back to the Cold War, of course, and 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.880 you look at how many times we've been close to 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.640 destroying the pretty much humanity life on Earth, at least 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.240 for a while. H um, and it makes you, it 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.839 makes you think, right now, how close are we to 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.720 getting to that point again, to getting to the point 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.680 where the doomsday clock is a few minutes I believe 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.960 it was at five minutes away last time I checked 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.400 it last last week. Yeah, Matt checks the doomsday clock 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:24.320 with an alarming regularity. Yeah, I've gotten I think I've 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:29.120 got some kind of update through my email. Um. All right, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.599 so this this is a great point. We've set the 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.680 scene and we know why countries want nuclear weapons. We 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:41.200 also know implicitly why other countries don't want countries to 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:46.880 have nuclear weapons. So, first, the the only um, the 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:52.039 only documented use of nuclear weaponry in warfare is the 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.719 United States in Japan and World War Two and Hiroshima 0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:03.120 and Nagasaki, and just that alone, um change change the world. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.880 This this tremendous Uh, it's an atrocity. There's no way 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.880 to say it, the other way to say it, because 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.320 it was collective punishment, you know, in a in this 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:19.720 innocence were killed. And this goes to um the dark 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.839 history of the nuclear weapon because at the same time, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.640 with such a horrible, indiscriminate, monstrous thing, uh, there comes 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:33.120 such power. And we know that if you are a 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.640 nation that's trying to establish hegemony, you know, some sort 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:41.200 of sovereignty over region, then you don't want other nations 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.839 to have nuclear power because again, as going to your 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.599 earlier point, they'll be at the table. So we learned 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.839 some interesting stuff when we looked at this video episode, 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.679 because we found out that quite a few countries got 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.479 close to building a weapon and didn't, and quite a 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.440 few countries also struck some faustium bargains. Know, they make 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.479 some deals with the devil quote unquote in order to 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:08.960 acquire nuclear weaponry UM. For instance, we know that people 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:14.960 with countries with admitted nuclear programs France, Russia, China, the 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:20.600 United States, UM, the UK couple others, and those are 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.440 some of the world powers that we hear about the most. Also, 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.400 we know now that Pakistan and India and North Korea 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.360 have nuclear programs, but those used to be secret. We 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.600 also well North Korea's was always kind of an advertising thing. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:43.520 We also know that UM these the there's a bustling 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:49.800 underground nuclear knowledge black market, right. We know that Libya 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:55.600 and South Africa UH either got close to or even 0:07:55.800 --> 0:08:01.000 completed building nuclear weaponry UM before they stepped down. We 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.680 of course know that the worst kept secret in the 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:12.920 international community is Israel's nuclear arsenal, which people UM you know, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:18.280 the israel government. Israeli government officially neither confirms nor denies, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.480 but we do know one guy who leaked it to 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.720 the world, a guy named Mordechai Mordechai vanuw Knew who's 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.240 He went to prison in nineteen six for leaking information 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.280 about their nuclear program and he's still to this day 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.400 not allowed to leave. He is allowed to leave the country. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.160 And I think it was in May of this year, 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.400 whoever decides put off his ability to leave the country 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.640 again another year. And I think that's just what's been 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.200 happening now. Every year gets pushed back and push back 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.600 and push back. He's got a website you can go 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.280 to if you're interested in him. UM, just search for 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.040 Mordecai Mordechai van new New and I think we mentioned 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:03.120 we mentioned him in our episode as well. Um. The 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.160 next the next step that we have with which I'd 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.520 love to do an update on sometime in the future, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:14.120 is Iran's nuclear program. Is it possible, for instance, that 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.160 Iran has already built a bomb? Now I don't think so, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.800 because I think it would be announced. Um, I think, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.120 uh yeah at some point. I mean, think about it. 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:30.880 The United States has Iran surrounded by military bases, and 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.040 I guess it is that card that you would be 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.720 able to play. You want people to know you have 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.040 that card in your hand and you are literally surrounded, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.319 backed into a corner as it were. Uh, then then 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:46.760 I could see the motivation. But uh, the biggest question 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.640 that I have to ask you is after we found 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.120 out about the secret nukes stuff and shady characters like A. Q. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:57.440 Cohn Uh, here's the big question. Do you think the 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.559 world should have nuclear weapons? I don't know that you 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.840 can answer that question, because obviously you shouldn't. I don't 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.160 think you should having that kind of power, with the 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.600 kind of power hungry people that run the world a 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.720 lot of times, not always, but a lot of times. Uh. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:21.400 It's obviously dangerous. Um, but there's no there's no way 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.920 going back now. They exist. And I mean even if 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.520 we all decide through the UN or some other organizations 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.560 organization to destroy all the nukes, then somebody is going 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:37.800 to keep nukes. You know, somebody will. Yeah, that's true. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.719 I see what you're saying. Sorry, I know that's a 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.559 pessimistic way to look at it, but I think it's 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.640 a realistic way to look at it. The only way 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:51.079 that people wouldn't keep nukes is if there were some 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.320 overarching authority that does not exist at this time that 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.880 would prevent it from happening. The U N has no 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:04.120 ability to prevent that. Um. You know, the the UN 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.480 is a good idea, but it doesn't It doesn't do 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.000 as much as one would imagine. Right, Somebody just got 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.080 really mad at you for saying UN is a good idea. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.880 In theory, I agree completely. I completely agree in theory. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.040 In theory, direct democracy and representative democracy are both good ideas, 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.079 and so as communism. You know what, in theory, I 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.360 bet a strawberry pudding pop is a good idea, but 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.600 I'm pretty sure to be gross. I'm just saying that 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:38.040 there's a difference between theory and practice. So in theory, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.400 while UM the u N is a different episode, and 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.800 I'd love to do that. But the point being is 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.160 that through these numerous agencies, the UN does not have 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:53.440 the ability to enforce um as as much as people 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.320 might wish. With nuclear weaponry, on both sides of the fence, 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.800 you know, on both the sides of people who think 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:05.280 that they should have UM less oversight on their nuclear programs. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.720 RAN comes up again there, UM to people who think 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.440 that there should be more oversight across the board. UM. 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.520 We have to we have to point out though, that 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.520 the stuff we we learned about nuclear weaponry in this 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:25.440 podcast UM and in our video episode told us some 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:33.880 very interesting stuff. There may be nuclear weapon stockpiles in 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:39.480 unidentified areas of the world, in foreign soil. So imagine, 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.120 you know, some tiny island in the Indian ocean and 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:49.320 the South Pacific open up. If there's ever a massive war, 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.600 it just starts flinging missiles right like the rockets, like 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.480 the thing that's pretty much a nuclear test. Excuse me. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.719 Alleged nuclear tests, the Veil and sit in which we 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.240 cover in another video UM, and the Vela incident. I 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.439 don't know, Matt, could you describe it. It was an 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:12.080 alleged test. It wasn't proven. At least nobody would say 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.719 that it was definitely a nuclear test that happened. It 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.000 happened in the middle of the ocean. There's a huge 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:23.160 variance of where it could have been, something like three 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:27.360 three thousand radius three is that true? If grousing kilometer 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.720 radius kilometer radius, Yeah, that's a huge area. But it 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.760 was a satellite that picked up the double flash, UM 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.280 and this was a satellite that had, you know, detected 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.000 lots of other tests, and it was the first time 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.679 that I guess it was controversial that it picked up 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.480 a flash. But they don't. They didn't think, well, maybe 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.680 it's not a flash. How did we have how do 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.320 we say, were careful as we said this in the 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:56.679 episode UM or the vlog we did about it, we said, uh, Okay, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.439 according to the official story, they this is not a 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.000 nuclear test, uh, which would mean that this is the 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.079 first and the only time that any of the Vala 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.200 satellites because they are multiple ones, have ever been wrong 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:16.599 about this and the other proposed alternatives that could have 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:21.280 given false positives for nuclear tests meteorite hitting the satellite, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.640 which is you have better odds of winning the lottery. Yeah, 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:30.800 it is literally billions and billions to one. But who 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.920 knows again, posible possible? Well, yeah, they the documents that 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.720 I was reading, the highly redacted documents that we actually 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.560 show in the video that I was reading through seem 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.440 to suggest that they they were really looking at South 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:49.000 Africa and their program at the time and possibly working 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:53.840 with Israel for a joint test. But again, there's so 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.520 much redacted material in there that probably has more of 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.240 the definitive answer to what they think. Um, but what 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.560 we're not going to know, Well, I think now it's 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.800 it's one of those open secrets. As time passes, you'll 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.360 you'll see a lot of credible journalism that talks about 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:18.000 Israel are not Israel, but South Africa's program wherein they 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:23.720 did successfully build weapons, and people do think that they 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:29.000 were the primary tester. Um. You hear people bring up 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.080 the bring up Israel, bring up other partner countries that 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.440 might be evolved, you know, like maybe France or um, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.880 i mean not India, but things like that. And this 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.560 brings us to one of my favorite things that we 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.440 didn't really get to talk about in the video, which 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:52.920 is secret nuclear strategies. UM. The thing is that a 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.360 lot of countries that have nuclear weapons that that are known, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:03.240 they they vary in their policy toward these weapons. France 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:09.680 has this h if we're attacked, everybody is a target policy. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:15.240 So if we're attacked with a nuclear weapon, everybody, everybody 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:20.560 is a potential target. Everybody gets a new let's call 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.280 it the Oprah style. That's exactly what it is. And 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:29.640 then UM, there are rumors that Israel has the Sampson option, 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:35.960 which is UM, which is a similar retaliatory plan on all. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.000 All of the countries that have nuclear weapons, thank goodness, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:45.160 have a stated uh no first strike policy. UM. Nobody 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.960 wants to be the person who drops one of those first, 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.880 but everybody wants to be able to respond in kind. UM. 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.720 The United States has a policy similar to that. UM. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:17:00.720 One of my favorites Um, is the dead hand? Do 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.880 you remember that one? That sounds really familiar. You're gonna 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.359 have to enlighten me. So it's the it's the Russian policy. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.240 You remember this one that where wherein this came from 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:14.520 the Cold War, And the alleged strategy is this that 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.359 there was a system in place in Soviet Russia where 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.960 in an attack, a nuclear attack that wiped out Moscow, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.720 wiped out all of the power centers, right, Uh, would 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:33.440 trigger an automatic launch of all nuclear weaponry. So it's 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.760 like a dead man. Yeah, you've seen that before, right, 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:42.719 everybody listening, where you're holding the control mechanism in your 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.720 hand and if you get shot, when your hand releases 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.680 it, it it goes off. Yes, And the idea of that 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:53.800 is just so fatalistic and frightening. It really is frightening. Um, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.280 he was kind of smart. I don't know, and I 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.960 know it's messed up, but well, yeah, I mean they're 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:03.280 not you. You don't make these kind of policies worried about, 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:08.600 you know, making friends, because country states don't have friends, 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.960 they have interests, right, And Um, it's definitely a chest 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:16.919 out policy like it. Yes, and and uh, you know 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.000 North Korea has been accused of having a nuclear policy 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.160 that is entirely based on gaining aid. You know, will 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:30.760 detonate this bomb, help us, will let's have some negotiations 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.600 and we need more food or aid of some sort, 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:41.000 and then will pretend to negotiate away our nuclear capability. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:47.199 It's another thing, very very few countries will give away 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.160 their nuclear ability um or concede that ability once they 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.520 gain it. South Africa being a notable exception. Um, I 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.440 guess at this point, I've got I gotta ask you, 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.280 do you think it's possible that there could be a 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:06.920 country now that has nuclear weapons that no one knows about. Ah, 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:11.600 that's tough because you can see now if there's a well, 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.600 it is possible if it was if they were just 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.119 brought in, like perhaps they didn't enrich the uranium on 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:23.400 their own at a facility inside whatever country we're talking about. Um, 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.159 if they just had them smuggled in, then sure. But 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.240 I think if you are enriching uranium in a country somewhere, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.399 somebody is going to do it. Somebody knows about it. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.359 With satellite technology, now, I mean you need a fairly 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.080 big facility to do that. Okay, that makes sense. So 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:43.520 I guess what you're saying then, is if there was 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:48.639 a I don't know, US or French owned nuclear arsenal 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.879 based in a different country, like in Sri Lanka or 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:56.600 Kazakhstan or something like that, then there could be nuclear 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.360 power there that we are not aware of. But for 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.320 the mest stickley produced stuff, people will find out about it, 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.880 I think definitely. Okay, I gotta ask you this too. 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.919 This is just pure speculation at the end, all right, 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.280 just it's just your your total opinion. All right, let's 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:18.080 do it. Do you think Iran is once a nuclear bomb? 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.439 Do you think they'll make it? I would say it 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.800 again just from what we've been discussing, the how they're 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:32.960 cornered where they are, Um, I think it's probably it's 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:34.960 so weird they're in such a strange place because they 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:39.000 kind of need one, uh, they kind of need one 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:43.240 for protection. But then diplomatically, it's such a bad move 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.840 right now, it seems like it would be the secret route. 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.080 If if I was if I was in Iran, I 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.960 would go the secret route. I would try and use 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:57.680 my allies to get weapons without doing it on my own. Well, 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:03.600 you know, the newest president of Iran is supposedly, uh, 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:08.960 striking a more conciliatory tone with Washington. But you don't, 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:13.760 don't do you think that Iran would attack different countries, 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.800 because usually what's being drummed up here is the idea 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:27.359 that Iran would um attack Israel primarily right, also possibly um, 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:33.320 Saudi Arabia, right, becausiness old Sunni Shias men. There's so much, 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.239 so much of that to me as smoking mirrors, um 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:41.320 from the people that want that land, want to control 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:45.399 that area, and you know don't want they are a threat, right, 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.879 I mean the control the strait of hormones. Yeah, okay, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.000 and that sounds like a story for another day. Of course, 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.399 we are talking about one of the biggest choke points 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:02.520 for the petroleum trade in the world. Um. Quick myth 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.080 busting on that one. Although something a lot of people 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.399 don't know that you and I only learned in the 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.760 course of the show. Uh. The United States does not 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.120 get the majority of its oil from the Middle East. 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:16.640 Don't believe the hype of the United States. Uh, products 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:20.120 of that sort come from Canada. Canada is our largest 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:25.480 foreign supplier of petroleum or natural as a petroleum and 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.760 natural gas or something like that. Fossil fuels. Let's just 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.439 make an umbrella term um and we're going to head out. 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:37.360 We would like to hear what you think about nuclear weapons. 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:41.400 Is it possible that all of the world's nuclear weapons 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:45.000 would be dismantled? Should they be? We think there's no 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.000 way it's gonna happen. Yeah, if you have a good 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.119 idea for that, please let us know, send it to 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.720 the u n Send that idea wherever you can, because 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:55.760 kind of maybe we need that to happen. There might 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.120 be a big step for humanity. Now, no one's gonna listen. Next. 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:04.480 Uh my prediction for next secret nukes base the Moon? 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.960 Oh yeah, yeah, dude, come on, that's gonna be so 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.919 much fun. The nuclear battles that occur on the surface 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.560 of the Moon fun. Huh oh yeah, it's gonna be 0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:16.920 lots of fun. Moons a small place, man, I know 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.399 it would be a it would be a one punch battle. 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:20.960 I kind of want to see what happens with a 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:23.080 nuke on the surface of the Moon, just from a 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:29.120 gravity standpoint, and I'm interested. That's some apocalyptic stuff, my friend. 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.720 I've been playing way too much fall Out lately. I mean, 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:38.480 the the seas, the rivers, the tides. Oh man, I 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:42.440 hope that doesn't happen, but we live in a time 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:46.240 where things like that could completely happen. So let's make 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.560 the most of the time we have. Uh, Matt, is 0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.320 this episode coming out before the end of the year, Yes, sir, 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:53.720 all right, then we have one other piece of big 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:57.680 news right now on our YouTube page. As we record this, 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:03.359 we're like send four hundreds something and that you and 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.919 I asked ourselves a while back if we would actually 0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:12.000 make it to a hundred thousand before was over our solo. Man, 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.800 we're taking it right down to the wire like that 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:18.480 Kanye West song. Yeah, it's a good song whatever. I 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.720 like the album. Uh, and we would love it if 0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.240 you want to subscribe to our YouTube channel. So check 0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:29.080 it out and subscribe if you'd like, and help us 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.359 see if we can reach that goal. This is just 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.119 like karma on redd at you guys. It doesn't actually 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.200 do anything. It would hopefully make us happy, I don't 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:41.000 know happy. Yeah, it would be less likely you get fired, 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.399 save us for the end of the year. Um. And 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.440 this is one last thing. I just want to stress this. 0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.560 I talked about it a couple of episodes ago. Whenever 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.960 you get a chance. I don't want you guys to 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.640 feel like a weirdo showing your friends these videos about conspiracies, 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.480 but sharing them with your friends, it's kind of it 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.119 would be eight for us because I don't know, spreading 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:04.080 this information, that's what we're trying to do. We want 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.280 more people to be thinking about this stuff. And you 0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:10.080 can help us out to show your friends, shore your dad, sure, 0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:12.879 your mom, who cares? You know what I would do? Uh? 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.480 If if I was going to show a video to 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.480 my family and friends, then I would probably right to 0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.119 the guys who do it and say, hey, can I 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:22.960 get a shout out on this? And then I would 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.800 show me that's the way to do it, all right, 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.560 So you can get a shout out from us if 0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.800 you let's do a quip pro quo clarisse kind of thing. 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.880 If you write to us with a topic suggestion, especially 0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:39.080 if we take that topic suggestion, then we will also 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.400 give you a shout out if your choice.

So go ahead and be a part of 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:04.159 this before we become eccentric billionaires who don't read our 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:08.600 own email very soon. Man, you guys, I've I've got 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:10.480 a list of things I have to get once I 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.040 become an eccentric billionaire. Oh what's the what's the bad joke? 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:17.560 I'm at million right now and I really like to 0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.560 make it for the end of the year. Uh yeah, 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.399 But do send us an email. Tell us what's going on, 0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.000
