Transcript
- Bryan: Hey everybody, welcome back to the Sense and Senseless Podcast. I am Brian. Yeah, Jon. J Long. Boy, if this is your first time joining us, welcome to the family. Just two regular guys breaking down the world's biggest bullshit in a way that actually makes a little bit of sense. ⁓ in this episode, we're starting off with. Jason: I'm Jason now. Bryan: Charlie Kirk assassination and asking the question: was the Republican Party itself involved? Then we're diving into what I'm calling the waiting game, how our society is being deliberately softened, dumbed down, and made completely dependent on technology. We'll talk about lost survival skills, why third-world immigrants operate on a completely different level, and the brutal reality of the poor tax that keeps people trapped. Much more tonight. Please like, share, follow, and subscribe. We love and appreciate every single one of ya. Jason, you got anything before we get started? Jason: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Now, burn it up. Bryan: Alright, here we go. I don't I want to begin to I wish I had all those fucking like a fucking ninja boy. Well ⁓ Jason: Meep meep, like Roadrunner. Bryan: ⁓ we're gonna be in again tonight with the Charlie Kirk assassination. ⁓ was the Republican Party responsible for the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Well, here's a guy going over Marjorie Taylor Green's X thread ⁓ discussing this. I just thought about what what sound effect we need. I I need the the Tootsie Roll Pop Owl. The world may never know. ⁓ Cause everything we see, it's I don't know what to fucking believe. You know? Or what is are we ever gonna find the answer? The world may never know. Jason: I've heard no. No. We just know they didn't do a real good job of lying to us about it. It was horrible. Dude. Bryan: ⁓ they did a awful job of that. That was They needed to find a better liar. Jason: Like, you may have gotten that over like 10 % of the United States citizens believed what you said, like, or 90 to, I'll give you some, or 25%. 75 % of us know you're full of shit. Back to the gun thing, back to the just ballistics and all that. Even the Reaper, man, that just had spit just go. Even he got on, right? That sniper, the black dude. Bryan: Mm-hmm. I got a dude. Jason: from Afghanistan and all that stuff? I'm just, I know but I didn't know if you were just agreeing just to shut me up but, okay. I'm just saying even he admitted that that didn't happen that way. So, well thank you, fuck you too. Bryan: Yeah. ⁓ I'm sorry to that was that was too easy of a shot I had to take it. Jason: We all know she don't have to see you know I know I know Bastard, you know, I'm having a rough night with work and then you're sitting there like Bryan: Well, now I forgot what I wanted to tell you. What the shit. ⁓ so yeah. So think about it. Damn, now you made me forget a kid. ⁓ Jason: Write your shit down. Write your thoughts down. Damn it. Go ahead. Next. Bryan: No, I ain't leaving this. I gotta remember this. ⁓ the focus group. You're talking about the the lie. So think about it. How fucked up this focus group had to be, you know, to come up with this lie. And I'm glad you said that because that brings me right into this next clip of Jimmy Dore and ⁓ you know, talking about Charlie Kirk on ⁓ Tucker Carlson. He's gonna bring up everything you just said and and show it. What just watch. You watch. Jason: Yes! Fuck it. Damn. Bryan: That's what the that's what one in the focus group they like. That's the winner. Jason: Yeah. I want to know what that dude got on his yearly review that came up with that. Bryan: Yeah, that that that's pretty wild. When you look at it, it's like Jason: Exceptional. He got a five. He got exceptional. Bryan: Well somebody's still saying, Why people don't believe that? You know that's the same people watching the fast and the furious for the twentieth time. Jason: shut up dude i watch that shit and i like it but i don't believe that crap will you shut up go on to the date man i don't believe that shit i've told you a hundred times i don't need no damn ballistics person or anybody to tell me that that was bullshit i mean it's like dang Bryan: That's my point. ⁓ just just a quick note on the Tyler Robinson case, and I don't know if you noticed, but the defense has been strung along for a while. So after months, the defense's been asking, you know, the ⁓ the prosecuting team to follow this information and in mid-March they just dumped like six hundred thousand files on the defense. And that don't Okay, you should be able to handle that. Except the hearings were in May. So it pretty much gave them like sixty days. So they had to cover like ten thousand files a day in sixty days, you know, to go through this shit. Jason: Shit, I'd have been scaling that up to chat GPT. Bryan: Well d well then the offense had d they filed a motion to to delay the hearing for about six months to get adequate time to look through it. And the judge granted a partial motion, so they pushed it back to july sixth to the tenth. Jason: ⁓ Yeah, because we need to hurry up and get this over with. Bryan: Now Well, then I heard that the defense was asking that the cameras not be put in the courtroom. And my first thought was if I'm Tyler Robinson and I know I'm ⁓ if I think I'm innocent, I want cameras in there. I want everybody to see what the fuck's going on, right? So it don't make no sense. Why would the defense not want them in there? So I had to look into this a little bit further. And now I understand why. Because it's being tried in Utah and they have a hearsay law in Utah, which which basically means that Jason: Yeah, yeah. Bryan: You don't have to be there for the hearing. So if if you said something and I have it on the record, I can present it at the hearing, but you won't have a chance to cross-examine it because the the person that said it won't be there. So I'm just basically saying, yeah, this is what so and so said. Now, when it comes to going to court, I'll have a chance to you know cross-examine them. But Jason: Right? Right. Bryan: They can drop that by the time they go to court. So they don't have to bring that same evidence to court the next time, from what I'm understanding. So they can say it in the hearing, and now you're guilty by the court of opinion, a po court of public opinion, right? Because they hearing all this shit that the prosecution's saying. You can't defend it because you can't ask the question. Well, nobody's there to answer the fucking question. So all they hear is this stupid shit like the text messages. Jason: Right. Mm-hmm. Right. Bryan: You know, of going back and forth and all that shit about, you know, if if you haven't seen ⁓ Google ⁓ It is some of the weirdest fucking tech d I don't know anybody in the world that's ever spoke like that except for maybe Romeo and Juliet. You know, it was it was just stupid. You know, my love. Like sh no no. And so what I understand now is I think they worried that you're gonna taint the jury pool. You know, so you put this on television, they got all this shit that they can't defend because they don't have nobody to question. Everybody hears this shit, it goes on all TV everywhere and it gets this is this is what's going on in court. Gotta be true. And now, no matter what, you know, he's guilty. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: That makes sense. Jason: Guilty. Yes, I mean, I just hate it for this dude. I really do. Bryan: Yeah, I do too. Jason: Cause somebody's like, well, what about Charlie? What about Charlie? Cause that dude didn't kill him. I just don't understand. Man, good knowing you dude. Good knowing me too, right? Because at any time we could be snagged up and ⁓ complicit in doing something we didn't do so they could cover it up. Bryan: ⁓ yeah. Now, I wanted to start with the Charlie Kirk thing just because how absurd is how you know it it's w you just ⁓ somebody that can critically think cannot wrap their head around, especially after you listen to how Jimmy Dore puts it, how anyone can even say that this is possible. It just don't make sense. And they don't. And I believe our government and elites are banking on us not being able to think on our own. Jason: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bryan: You they're they're banking on our inability to use critical thinking skills to understand how shit still you know, just doesn't add up. In that case and in in a lot of cases. You know, there's always nothing to see here. They just want you to move along. Where the fuck did all that White House correspondent dinner shit go? That just w went away. Like we was you know, the the dog seen the guy coming through and all the shit and you don't hear no more about it. Why? Well why Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bryan: 'Cause it didn't work. You know. Everybody was like, Man, that shit Jason: Well, the hunt or hantavirus or whatever. Every. Yeah. Everybody said, ⁓ no, we ain't playing that shit. And it's like, ⁓ shit. All right. Put it to bed. You see what I'm saying? It's like, it's like they. Let's test. Let's test the public's ability to figure shit out. Did they get? No, no, that failed. So next. No, that failed. ⁓ we got them. We got them. Yeah. Bryan: Yeah, yeah, you you hunt or hant or whatever. I told you that that that's the damn fast and furious theory. That's it in a nutshell right there. And Jason: I can see the director sitting back going, Dude! So we're gonna We're gonna take Charlie out! And we're gonna say this little skinny bastard was up on the roof! And did all this shit! Dude it's like Silent J and Bob man! Or no... J and Silent Bob, I got that messed up! Huh? Or Dasty Confused! Bryan: But how many people believe it? But But how many people believe it? Jason: I told you like at least it can't be more than 25%. I don't know because we don't, we love every member that we do have and thank you guys for subscribing, but we don't have enough people to really get a big enough poll to put something on our thing and have you guys click. And I don't even know if you guys would or not. Bryan: No, based off of who you talk to in in in in the world. Jason: I haven't heard nobody. I haven't heard nobody that believes that that went down the way. Have you? Have you found somebody that that? Bryan: Okay. No, I haven't. That's why I'm I don't know. But I believe that that's the reason why I talk about the Fast and Furio theory. I believe that they do this type of shit to see exactly where the people are, where their mentality is. Jason: Okay, well, I bet you one person I know that believes. The woman that sat in front of the Congress, no bullshit, she knows better too. She's just knowin' it. I'm talkin' about the woman that went in front of Congress and said men can have babies out of their butt. I bet you she believes that shit happened. Because she believes a dude can poop a baby. So. Bryan: Erica? Jason: People like her they believe but your normal thinking people like I am NOT yet to meet somebody I know people that think I ran or ⁓ is real is not causing issues and I ran needs to be dealt with and blah blah blah I know a lot of people would still think like that. I got friends that are like Jason man. There's a lot of terrorism over they support Bryan: Did Jason: There is, there is Brian, but there's terrorism here too. Bryan: Well, I'm what I was gonna get at it there is, but I mean there's terrorism because w we kinda pushed him to that. I mean I Jason: Yeah, but I'm just gonna talk like bad like non non pushing terrorism I'm talking like extremists. There's extremists everywhere But what I'm getting at, have yet to find one person that believes that Charlie Kirk was shot with that 30 odd six, the way they said it went out. Bryan: And that that's a good thing. But I believe that there's it when you see the amount of people that support Erica Kirk still, that would make me assume that there's still a lot of people that support the theory that Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk. I I I would base it off I personally don't know anybody that feels that way. You know, that ch ⁓ Tyler Robinson's guilty. But there's gotta be people if if Erica Kirk and TP USA is still you know, s thriving. There's gotta be poop people that believe it. And Jason: Well, if this world is still existing in a hundred years, we will still never know. It's like JFK. I mean, it'll get buried. Martin Luther King Jr. It'll get buried. All that stuff will get buried. Bryan: Well, yeah, and I'm I'm I'm glad you said that too, 'cause I'm about to I'm going I'm talking about Charlie Kirk and this crazy shit that they put together to make us believe because I believe they do all that shit by design and it brings me to what I call the waiting game. Think it was last week I was coming back from Mississippi with my brother and we were just bullshitting and and we were talking about how what we consider basic skills is it's lost to others, you know, especially the younger generations, where it seems that their basic skills, just their basic skill to survive, is lost. And we were just talking about like simple shit like reading a map or reading mile markers on the highway, how to start a fire, how to cook. You know, or Just how to recognize just danger without someone telling you what the danger is. You know, it's it's weird. How do you should react to said danger? You know, you don't if you hear gunshots over there, you don't go see what the fuck the gunshots are there for. Strategically, you just go the other way. I don't even know if ⁓ I don't understand. Jason: Fine cover. Yeah. I'm up there. I'm up there. me. I'm down. Bryan: Yeah. I I mean we have it so good and and I'm waiting for people to forget how to breathe and and and and I don't think that's so far fetched. I really don't. We used to we used to joke about that. You know, how people are so dumb they've you know they gotta tell themselves to breathe. But but today, think about it. I all you gotta do is make a TikTok challenge of everybody wearing fucking oxygen. And everybody would put on oxygen bottles and eventually they'd forget how to fucking breathe. I Jason: He's done. Can I say something and it's gonna offend people but even because I'm sure we got listeners that do this But why does everybody got to do the trends? My wife does it too and she's gonna get mad when she hears this that I'm calling her out on this Bryan: Because it makes them feel like they part of something. Jason: Can you not be unique? What happened to uniqueness, dude? We're all uniquely made. Why do you have to copy everybody else? Bryan: No. Because when you're unique, you get pointed at. And people don't want to be pointed at. They want to be able to be part of something. They don't want to be the one that they you see that one? He doesn't he's not the same. He's not the same. I'm not built like that too. Jason: I'm not built like that I guess. Every time, I mean, when you see something on TikTok, you're like, ⁓ that's funny. That's pretty cool. And then you flip up, it's three more, and you're like, ⁓ there it is again. ⁓ there it is again. And after about four times of seeing it, you're like, okay, it's not funny no more. The very first time it was cool as hell. I would have remembered that. Now I forget about it because everybody's gotta do it. It's like... Bryan: Well, see, now you just made my point. Because I was exaggerating about putting an oxygen about ⁓ putting a oxygen bottle on a people's back because it was a TikTok trend. But as you just said, everyone follows the trend. So it would be easy to get people to quit breathing. That's just how stupid people are today. And I'm not trying to be mean to people. Just like you're saying, they don't want to think for themselves. And I'm let me keep explaining to you because I want you to follow along with me on this. All right. Jason: I won't make any point. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Bryan: I wanna I think we're developing a society that's exponentially dumber than the generation before. You know, I I don't think when I say dumber, I don't mean what people think that is smart today. You know, cause some people are gonna think I'm crazy for saying that people in the last generation were smarter than we are today. People aren't so fucking smart today. They aren't. They j they just have a smartphone. They have ways to look up smart shit. You know, but what happens when they no longer have electricity? You know, what what do they do then? You know, can can they navigate without a GPS? Can you rely on the information in your head to survive on your own? I mean, if you're a father, can you keep your family alive and fed without a month of electricity and no government assistance? Do you have the survival skills to make it? If if you're around our age, you you're likely laughing at me right now. Because you probably survive worse as a teenager on purpose. I get that, you know. But what about our kids? What about our grandkids? Well, they have the survival skills needed to survive without the internet or AI telling them everything. What happens when you can't ask Google or AI how to do something? Is what you have stored in your head for Jason: Yeah. Mm. Bryan: Or just complete nonsense because you ain't got to know shit because you can pull it up on your phone. That's just how peop the kids are today. You know? Now, when I'm talking about survival, I'm not referring to, you know, putting you on an island with a fucking match and a toothpick and actually you need to start your own tribe. You know, I'm just talking about navigating daily life without the simple technology of a let of an electrical grid. And I don't think we're raising kids that can do that. Jason: Mm-hmm. I tell you what you'll be kick ass to do is just shut the power grid off in your area and the cell phone tires and let's see what you can do. Bryan: I think we have a fuck ton of people that won't be able to survive because they don't really bring anything to the table without the internet and the keyboard. If you take if you take the internet and electricity away from a lot of people, what they have in their head and able to do with their hands amounts to nearly nothing. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: You know, does that make sense? There's a lot of people like that now. They have they have no purpose. With without electricity and the keyboard, they're just a carbon footprint. There's no purpose and nothing we can they're not even useful to the humanity at that point. And I'm not being an asshole. That's just the way we're developing people. Jason: Mmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay, so this ties into what you're talking about here, how people are. It reminds me of when we were at Texas on the beach, right? Staying in that beach house. And I was getting pissed off about the damn hater comments. So you're like, here, I got to show you this video. been meaning to see, or see, or show you this video for a while and I'm going to show it to you and you'll understand. Bryan: Mm-hmm. Jason: I don't under, I'd still, I'd watch the video. I don't fathom how people are like that, how they live just to be on the keyboard to do stuff like that. So you're talking about people that can't survive without a key. That reminds me of people like that, that that's, that's their day is just to get on there and talk shit to other people or people to even have to get on here to, to be on social media. We do this because what did we say? We don't care if we got a subscriber, one subscriber, no subscribers or a million. We're going to do this regardless because we just like talking and we're going to put information out there and hopefully somebody hears it and it changes their life. Hopefully somebody gets a laugh. Hopefully somebody says, I'm not as bad as them two idiots. You know what I'm saying? If that's what makes you feel better about yourself, then we did our job. But Bryan: Yeah, I enjoy this. That's right. Yeah. Jason: At the end of the day, don't need I don't have I like this because of you because I like talking to you. I'm not doing this because I live to do like I got I got to get on the internet. I got to be on social media. I got to be making TikToks. I got to be making Instagrams. So the sunset I can't even do it. Sunset Hard Hands. So honey sunset. I mean, they had a commercial like that. The dude was sitting there eating his taco bailed it honey, sunset hard hands and he wasn't paying attention to her. Bryan: Yeah. Jason: Why do you have to have all this attention? Bryan: Because they're missing something inside. Jason: Man, you got holes in you and I'm not gonna, like I said, I'm not preaching tonight, I'm not gonna preach. You got holes in you, all that stuff is like putting sand. You know how sand washes on a beach? It's like trying to fill holes in you that need concrete with sand. It's just falling out. You know what I'm saying? You're just packing it in, it just falls right out and that's all it is. You're just chasing shit. It's euphoria, it's... It doesn't, it's not substance, family, family. It is, it is. But like you, you talk about you and your wife and me and my wife, that's where I find mine. You know what I'm saying? That's where I get my love at. I don't, I don't have to get on TikTok and I like watching and looking at TikTok. It eats the hours of my day. It needs to stop, but it does. Bryan: It's a cheap dopamine hit. No. Jason: Anybody that weren't watching this, I get my work done, shut up. But it does. It gets consuming. Me and one of the supervisor buddy of mine was talking about that. Not to take away from your show here, it eats at us, man. And I'm losing stuff. You know what's cool? You drew this up. I didn't see this till tonight when I got on. It's kind of like... Like I get a premonition of what you're going to talk about because I was just thinking about walking outside taking the trash out. I didn't even read this part. Where you're at today doing what you do on the engines. I remember the guy in the Marine Corps that, hey, my transmission is leaking. Well, let's tear it apart. I don't know how to do that here. I'll get you all some beer. You all go do it. You didn't even have a one or need to get in an engine or a transmission back then. And then look at what you do now. I used to love doing that Brian and I don't do it anymore. It scares me to even pop the hood on a car, all the computerized stuff in there. Bryan: Well, if it makes you feel bad, I don't like doing mechanic work either. I I just like solving problems. Well, it it was easy. I mean it's hard work, but it was easy mind work, should I say? Jason: But you got good at it. I know. I know. But back in the- I don't know, did you visualize yourself doing that when we were in the core that you were going to get out and be doing that kind of work? Bryan: No, my ex father in law had a mechanic business and then offered me a job so that's where I went. Jason: Yeah, but I think you turned the, like you said, you like solving problems. So you don't look at it as a mechanic, you look at it as solving a problem, not working on an engine. Bryan: Yeah, I looked at it in a total different way. Yeah, I I I used to they it would it's funny, I'd go on boats and they would ask me, you know, how many horsepower is that engine? I'm like, I don't fucking know. They're like, Are you working on? Yeah, I don't fucking I said, I don't need to know the horsepower to fix that engine. I tell ⁓ that all the time. I don't know. I don't I can't tell you all the nomenclature and all about these engines, but I can help you fix ⁓ I I don't care about that shit. I don't. That's it, yeah. If you got a problem, I'll fix it, you know. Jason: So just... Yeah. Yeah, I just make it go vroom vroom. That's it. mean Bryan: Yo, if you got a problem, I'll solve it. Vanilla ice ice baby. Jason: Yeah, because you're a critical thinker, you you were like that in the core and all that stuff and people excel when they use their minds. Same thing like the job that I do now. Anyways, ⁓ we're talking about ⁓ surviving. ⁓ You gotta have a ⁓ hunger to wanna figure stuff out, to see a problem and ⁓ be to wanna figure out fix it. You gotta want that in order to be successful at surviving. And I'm not, like you said, it's not like, they used to have a series on Discovery Channel where there was this one barefooted dude, hippie dude, and then the ex-military dude with him, and they put them in a scenario and they taught you how to survive. Like they would find trash and find this and find that, and they'd build a water filtration system out of a tarp and some, kind of like a bungee, I forget what the survival series was called. It was a series. Like a bear grill. Isn't that his name or? Bryan: I don't fucking know. You tell a story. Jason: I don't know, I'm trying to think of these, I guess you've never seen these? Okay, geez, dude, you didn't watch- Bryan: No. But that's what I'm saying. I'm not talking about having to go fucking take a toothpick and start a tribe. I'm Jason: Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. We're not talking. That's extreme. That's extreme. Like Castaway with Tom Hanks. Bryan: Yeah. Yeah. I'm just yeah, I'm just talking about if we turn the power off, can you survive for a month? Jason: Yeah, yeah. if I like it, we had that major ice storm back in 2009. We had people without power up to two weeks. Bryan: And they were losing ⁓ R. Jason: No, not a lot of them already were kind of used to that a little bit their power going out all the time My house was out I'd never been out more than an hour without power an hour or two and ours was out for a week And I ain't gonna lie it sucked But we still figured it out We wouldn't found better shelter, right? Even if it's dead, even if it's going and finding somebody somewhere else to stay That's part of surviving. Most people would just sit there like, I don't know what to do. Oh, Google. Oh, shit, Google won't work. Like the cell towers were down too, Brian. We didn't have self-service during all that. I loved it. Because that's Satan. That's Satan most of the time to me. That's hell calling all the time, even the personal one. But anyways, I don't know. Get to your point. Bryan: And and All right. Well, let's move on so I can get to my point. So I'm not trying to paint, you know, these people out to be bad people. The people on the computer. I'm not. You know, our society told us that technology was the way. And for the most part it is. When when used the right way, ⁓ the internet and AI is a beautiful thing. It can be, you know. However, the world's full of evil, right? And we all have to suffer together. And Jason: Right. Mm-hmm. Bryan: I think all of this again was by design. And I think this may be the waiting game. So I want you to think about this. So we have lost skills that wasn't passed on to us. And our kids and grandkids will likely not have the skills that we have. And I believe this was intentional. If you played a long game, eventually anyone that was alive prior to the internet tech boom will be dead. Right? I want you to think about this. we have lost skills that wasn't passed on to us. And our kids and grandkids will likely not have the skills that we have. And I believe this was intentional. If you played a long game, eventually anyone that was alive prior to the internet tech boom will be dead. Right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: You'd be left with a society that has depended on the internet and AI their entire lives. You'd be left with a society that has depended on the internet and AI their entire lives. Jason: I see where you're going with this. Bryan: So should you turn the lights off on this society, they will have less leadership with actual skills, allowing the government to come in and save the fucking day. Which, of course, yep, which would of course be in the version of losing your freedoms for safety, as always. And I mean, we're only a fucking generation away from this, right? This this would require no force. Most people would just give in. Why? Because their whole life they followed the path of least resistance. should you turn the lights off on this society, they will have less leadership with actual skills, allowing the government to come in and save the fucking day. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, Mm-hmm, more dependency. Yeah. Bryan: And their basic instinct of survival has been lost. And it leaving their living to them is the short dopamine hits that they get all day long. That's living. They don't know what surviving is. You with me so far? Jason: No, I'm a hundred percent because I'm sitting there trying to think about the years like anybody born past the eighties is going to be in this category. Do agree? Bryan: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I I would say I would say anybody that's born at least two thousand. So if you in your early twenties, eight or you know, that age frame right now, like my youngest daughter, I think yes. Jason: I think that was it. Yeah. Yeah. Bryan: All right, so this I found this earlier that this like right before we got on ⁓ I wanted to add it to the show Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: this is a middle school teacher given her perspective. ⁓ And I think it's gonna go into what I was just talking about. That is sad. That th that that that's a win. Jason: Yeah. Bryan: Clean the book back out. What? Come to school four days a week. Jason: She was talking about tickling and touching and being affectionate boys or whatever. No, how about ass whoopings and that was my affection. Bryan: Yeah. ⁓ yeah, I don't Jason: And she said boys touching boys. Was she talking about them holding hands or just messing with each other? Like picking on each other and stuff. I mean, you can't just say boys touching boys. mean, geez, we used to mess with each other too. We put hands on one and not in a bad way. It was like boys being boys. Bryan: I don't But she did say that the girls aren't touching the girls that much this year, so it might be what you were saying. Yeah, something. Jason: holding hands and shit. Yeah. Okay. if it's yeah, if Yeah, I'd knock that shit out too. Like, can't be doing that. Bryan: It's what I was taking from it, I I I I don't even care about the boys touching boys. What I was taking from it was our kids are losing critical thinking skills by the year, according to this woman. You know, it well that's what she was saying. It's it's thousands times worse this year. It'll be thousands times worse. Every class that comes through is a lot worse. It shouldn't be that much worse. You know Jason: Ain't nobody got time for that. ⁓ yeah, it's probably getting worse every year. Yeah. Mm-hmm. These are affordable babysitters. Bryan: That's what she said. You said it earlier and she said it and then that's the double. Jason: It's the devil, Bryan: Now I I'm gonna play this cut real quick, ⁓ and then w I'm gonna get on w what I was discussing, but this is a guy explaining why AI is not the enemy. So AI is not the problem. It's pretty smart. It's the people, you know, that control AI. Jason: Yeah, it's AI is just artificial intelligence. So all it is is computer information. It's all this data put into this. Now how that data gets used has to be done by man. Bryan: The devil. Jason: God damn. Bryan: All right, so this brings me to people from the third world countries. It's all gonna this is all gonna link together, all right. Now, these people from the third world countries, they have strong survival skills. And why? Jason: like where I live. Okay. is that he gets shit. Bryan: That's right, because they're fighting for fucking clean water and food every damn day. ⁓ they aren't worried about the latest TikTok trend or the latest celebrity news. They're trying to find the next meal and using any means necessary to do it. So they have crime at all levels, you know, and and it's likely that crime to them is just a daily activity. Now, we just talked about how domesticated we are. Jason: Yes Hmm. Bryan: Hell, we lose a little electricity for day and it's the end of the fucking world to us. Now, if they have electricity for a couple hours a day, you know, that's a good day for them. I mean, we're we're not the same. bring those same people to the United States. Put them in a domesticated society, and you have the perfect storm for easy theft. You take people that have grown up with crime as a normal day and put them in a weak ass environment, you just Jason: Hmm. Bryan: put a shark into a pool of seals. It is gonna chew up everything around it. This is why I think it's a bad idea to bring these people here. We are not the same. This isn't racism. This isn't xenophobic. This is no phobia. This is just basic life and situations. Jason: Hmm. Bryan: The situations in your life define who you are. And when you have multiple generations in the same lifestyle, you build a culture of that lifestyle. That culture doesn't change just because you moved to a better location. Now, to be fair, I will say there's always exceptions, but I'm referring to the majority. I will also admit that at one time this may have been different. And it's not because I believe the people that came over to the US were always better. I believe that we as U.S. citizens were better stewards of our own country. And we demanded everyone that was a U.S. citizen or living in the U.S. while applying for citizenship to assimilate to our values of the U.S. You know, this helped change the culture of the new additions to our country, not the new additions fucking changing our culture to their beliefs. You know. But We got soft and we basically allowed an invasion, as well as theft of billions of our tax dollars. You with me so far? Okay. Jason: Yeah, I feel like I know where you're Bryan: All right, so in my opinion, fraud is not entirely the fault of these people. I still feel someone here had to help these people start this these fraudulent claims. Then someone had to approve the claims. Then someone had to sign off on the checks that were paying out these claims. And in the context of the daycare centers that they went ahead and was using for fraud, I would think that someone would go out there and have to do surprise inspections every now and then to check on the safety of the children, right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: So just in this small example, there's at least four people that worked in the system that helped with this. And trust me, I know I'm not ignorant, you know, to believe there was only four. But this is just an easy way to show you there's a a fuck ton of somebody that need to be questioned about this fraud. But they tell us this is an easy open and close case, you know, just like everything, there's nothing to fucking see here. But someone is allowing billions and billions to be stolen from us. Think about that. While you out there working your ass off just to have no less than twenty five percent of your day's work going back to the government, they're enriching themselves with fraud. They are buttfucking you and blaming the third world immigrants. That our government themselves brought over here. Almost as if it was part of a fucking design, you know, to bring those guys over and have ⁓ steal all our shit. So you bring those people here, they might not have a way to make money. They're hustlers by nature. Someone gives them in the ear, hey, look, you can do this, this, and this. They don't give a shit, you know. That's what they did their whole life. Doesn't make them good or bad. That's just what they did, you know? And they put them all on the hook and now they're the scapegoats of these billions of dollars that were stolen. I I just don't believe that. Jason: Mm-hmm. Yeah, they didn't come up with that themselves. Bryan: Yeah, I I don't believe that. Well, this brings me to the poor tax. Jason: Are we poor? Bryan: We're poor. But that's not where I'm going with this. A while back I read something about how the poor can't budget themselves out of poverty. And and this was due how things were because of how things are priced, ⁓ lack of transportation and just what is normal everyday things that people that don't live in a poor area don't consider an issue. I would assume that if if you listen to this, ⁓ you you had a rough period in your life or you're probably going through one now. I would assume that's what some of our audience or most of our audience is. ⁓ the time when you can't figure out how to stretch your paycheck from week to week. And when you finally do have a couple extra dollars, something else comes up and takes what you have, you know? And then so it's like no matter what you do, no matter how hard you work, you can't get out of this fucking rut. You start to question your life choices and life in general. Well, what if I told you that the system designed in a way to punish the poor? Now, let me be fair, it might not actually be designed that way, but Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: It's fucking true. Think about it. So when you when you're starting out, you have little to no value to your employer, so you make a lower wage, right? And you work your ass off in hopes of getting a raise. And when you do, it's a fucking quarter or something, you know. Now you're appreciative ⁓ you're appreciative because that's how you were raised and it will all work out. That's how the shit does, you know, it's always gonna work out. But them telling you that that shit don't pay the bills. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-mm. Bryan: So you you have a salary that barely covers the necessities like shelter, food, lights, and water. I mean you your budget is ramen, noodles, and Kool-Aid. We we all remember them fucking days, right? Or on a good night you might have a ham sandwich and soup. You know, you might splurge. Now, that's right. All this food is drowned in sodium and sugar. You you can't afford Jason: Mm-hmm. Hamburger Helper, baby member of the Marines. or some chicken pot pie Bryan: Annual medical, physical, dental cleaning. This lifestyle keeps you alive, but it's killing you slowly. And there isn't much you can do about it. They tell you you need to watch your money and save. But you don't have the luxury that others may have. And one of the biggest luxuries you can have is buying in bulk. And when I'm saying buying in bulk, you might think of like sand and cost co, but I'm gonna take it down even a little A lot further than that. And when you think about just purchasing toilet paper, everyone needs this shit, right? You barely make an ends meet, and you might have to buy the four pack. Let's say it's a dollar a row. But if you can afford another five dollars, you might be able to purchase the twelve pack at 75 cents a row. That's a 25% savings right there, right? If you had a little more cash, you could buy the twenty four pack for 50 cents a row. See what I'm getting at? Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: This is just a simple example, but this applies to everything you purchase when you when you're on a budget. You know, a pair of boots. You need a pair of boots for work and you can only afford a pair that costs 50 bucks. Now, this pair of boots might last you six months, but Bob, Bob bought a pair of boots for 300 bucks. He's been having them for six years and he resold them twice for $60 each. So for six years, his boots cost him $70 a year. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: You're paying $100 a year because you can't afford $300 boots. So you got a 30% markup on what you have because you have to buy the cheap boots. Just simple shit like that. That's a poor tax. You know, you don't see it because you're just doing what you have to do to survive. And if you just had a little bit more, you know, you could make it a little better. It's no different than when you bought a car. You know, you bought a cheap car. Jason: Mm. Right. Right. Bryan: And this car gets you back and forth to work, but you got to work on it every fucking weekend. All right. Yeah. Now Bob, Bob spent a little bit more money on his car. You work at the same place. You spend a little more money on his car. He don't have to work on his on the weekend. So he can hustle and have a second job on the weekend while you're working on your shit. So now he's bringing more money to where he can get that extra stuff. And he's saving that 25% on his toilet paper. You know, he's saving that 30% on his boots. But you can't because Jason: ⁓ the old shitbox. Mm-hmm. Bryan: You working on your fucking car. He's putting all your time and your extra money into your fucking car. You know, and you can't afford the regular maintenance. You can't do any of that stuff. Hell, Bob might even be running Uber Eats in this fucking piece of shit car that he got. I mean, does any of that sound familiar? I mean, we all been in those days, you know, where you want to get something. And it gets worse as you get older, especially older people in older p sections of town. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: These people, you know, they grew up in this, and we we all have these little communities. They grew up in this little area, and then as time went on, it got more and more run down and more criminals and thieves are there. But you still have the core group of people that started that area, right? And they just watching their whole community just fall apart. And now the local grocery store shut down, the local pharmacy shut down. All this is shut down, not because Of the people that started there because all these fucking criminals are robbing it and you know, making it to where they can't make a profit in those areas. It and it's it's bringing your property value down. Now, these people that's been there forever, they can't afford to leave the area. They own their property, their property value is going down. If they don't have a car, if they gotta go right there to the local convenience store that's probably gonna get robbed, you know, and they're gonna spend Well, then they're gonna get robbed on prices for one, but they can probably get robbed from somebody a thief or something there. It's a poor tax. You you everything that you do is costing you more in a percentage wise than it would if you just had a little bit more money. Jason: Right. Bryan: And I think that's another thing that's poured by design. I don't know if it if it's that way because over time with EBT and shit like that, you could if if you were getting i if if I own Coca-Cola, right? And you were getting EBT. Well Jason: Right. Right. Bryan: If you can buy Coca-Cola with EBT, that's an easy win for me. So I can start marking Coca-Cola up because I'm always going to have that government money. Right? So the people with government money don't care. But if if you're poor and you're working hard and you still want that same Coca-Cola, it costs you more. I don't know if something like that's what drove this shit that way, you know? Or if it was always out of, you know, out of line. But poor people. Jason: All right. Yep. Bryan: have to spend a lot more to get a lot less. And it's sad. Jason: Mm-hmm. no, it's, man, a control, dude. Maybe, maybe the welfare system and all that stuff was designed in the depression or whatever, whatever it was designed. Maybe it was designed to help. You can't tell if it was. I'll give the benefit. I think it was always ployed to control. Bryan: That's possible too. I don't know. I would I would like to say that it started out to help people. I would like to say that. Jason: I feel bad saying that it came out as a control measure to begin with. But I think somebody's seeing, ⁓ we can control the masses with this shit. You know what I'm saying? Make people weak, we can make them lean on us, and if they lean on us, they have to listen to us. It's kind of like, did we not tell our kids, you're more than welcome to come live at our house? Bryan: You can make ⁓ weak. Yeah. Got a constant vote, yep. Jason: I will always offer you a roof over, if you need a roof, you could come here and stay, but here's the deal. It's my house. When you're in my house, you go by my rules. I don't care what your age is. I know that if, if something happened between me and my wife and I had to go live with my mom and dad, they're in their seventies. I'm 51 years old. I don't even have to be told that. It's a known fact if I go live in their house, that's their house, not mine. I can make myself at home, Brian, but I don't get to make my own rules. I have to respect my parents' rules. And you see what I'm saying? So the government does that. How do we control people? We take away everything from them, right? We make it so damn hard on them that they have to rely on us. Bryan: ⁓ I agree with you. Jason: and then we can control. It'd be like if I called you and say, Brian, I'm hurting, man. Can I borrow $1,000? Yeah, I'll let you borrow $1,000, but I'm going to tell you what you can do. I want to know what you're doing with it. I'm going to tell you what you can do with it. You see what I'm saying? That's what I'm getting at. They provide, because it always rings in my ear, and I was thinking about this the other day. This stuff just pops in my head randomly. Bryan: ⁓ yeah. Yeah. Jason: is about like the black people talking to the inner city people when they they voted for Trump. They got tired of being lied to by the Democrats always saying they were going to come in there and clean their cities up and help them out and all that. They got them to vote for them and soon as they got them in there they didn't do shit. And they got sick and tired of getting lied to. But how many years did they have to get lied to before they finally said enough's enough? But they're still not getting helped out either way. mean, you can't break that. How do we break it? Bryan: Right now I I I don't know. I It seems like ⁓ the wealth gap is getting larger and larger. So it's almost like where you at well, we looked at the poverty level not a few weeks ago, but where you at with your poverty and where, you know, with the other people at that's that poverty line, that's getting more and more. So it's almost like we're all gonna end up it's gonna be just poor rich and poor. That's all it's gonna be. You know, there's there's not gonna be a middle class or fucking upper middle class or Jason: Right. Bryan: It's just gonna be poor people. And I'm I don't know if they designed it that way. I don't know how we fix that without everybody coming together and saying, hey, look, this is fucked up. I think about it. When when you when you you pay your pays already below, yeah, your pays already below the poverty line. All right. And then at the best, you might be getting a two or three percent raise every year. If you're getting a fucking raise, right? And and ⁓ Jason: Good. They have to. They have to. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bryan: Inflation's going up four or five percent year over year, or whatever it's going up. You you Jason: You're not even keeping up with inflation. Bryan: No, so you're always gonna be below the poverty line. And then they telling you if you just save some money, you'll get out of poverty. But your checks not going far because you you pay in more for everything. You know? Jason: Yes. Just like Dave Ramsey, I don't listen to Dave Ramsey. I mean, he's got some good shit. I've heard him before, but I don't listen to him because you know what he says? Well, if you got $5,000 saved up, I can get you out of debt. Mother effort, tell me how to get out of the debt with $100. I don't have $5,000. Can you not help a brother with $100? No. Okay, then I'm screwed because you just said there was going to be a rich and a poor no more middle class. Why? What's the problem with middle class? Bryan: It's not a problem with middle class. ⁓ no, I mean there's a problem for government. Yeah, but yeah. Jason: Yeah it is, yeah it is. The government, yeah, because we're the problem. Bryan: Well yeah, 'cause we not dependent on ⁓ Jason: Yeah, we got just enough money we don't have to listen to you. Bryan: Yep. Now Jason: So either you're gonna be in the elite, which you aren't gonna be because there's only a select few that can be up there and the rest are gonna be poor. That's just how it is because we gotta make that so those poor people are like sheep and follow us around. Bryan: You went through I I remember, you know, when we was in the core and you went through a rough patch. We all went through rough patches. And you feel like you're on a hamster wheel at times. It's like no matter what you do, you just can't fucking you just constantly grind and grind and grind, and it don't matter. You know, and and and at some point, I don't care who you are, you start to second guess your life decisions. It's like, how how can this get any worse? You know, I don't know what else to do. This brings me to this woman here. Jason: ⁓ yeah. and Yeah. Bryan: It's a video and it it went viral because they said this lady ended up killing herself after she shot this video. Listen to this. This is what we're doing to people in our country. Fucked up. And I I we've we might not all been that stressed out, you know, but I can say a lot of us have been there's I I can say there's a lot of times I just wanted to run my truck into a fucking something hard because I just was tired. I'm not gonna lie, you know. Jason: Did you see a few nice trees that enticed you? Bryan: ⁓ yeah, and it wasn't it wasn't because I was suicidal. I was just fucking exhausted. You know, I mean physically and mentally exhausted. I just couldn't put it's like I couldn't push my body anymore. I just and and and it was like for what? You know, I'm not getting anywhere. It's and no one cares. I I get it, you know, and it and it's sad that someone would lose their life in a country like this. And it I don't know that lady. Jason: Yes. Yep. Yep. Bryan: But if she's working two jobs to survive, and I don't even care what her old man's doing. I mean, she was bitching about that too. That doesn't matter. This lady's doing everything she can to survive in the greatest country in the world, and she still feels like she's not good enough. You know, that's a problem. I I don't know again, I don't know her, and I don't know what her jobs were, what but that that kind of stuff bothers me because I know what it's like to work your ass off and not have anything. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Bryan: You know, and it's like you just own this fucking hamster wheel. And no matter what you do, you just can't get out of this fucking rut. And if you if you believe in yourself, I'm not gonna say if you keep working on it, if you believe in yourself, eventually it will get better. But it's hard to keep believing in yourself day in and day out when it's not changing. You know? So I I get it. That all makes sense. Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. ⁓ that makes sense. Dude, you brought it up. I mean, we did struggle in the Marines. I remember my car broke down and I borrowed your bike. How far was it from Tustin to... You can talk about my shit, dude. I'm not... Bryan: ⁓ no, I used to ride my bicycle to base, but yeah, I don't remember what it was. It was about three or four miles. It might have been a little further. Jason: Yeah, but I did it because I didn't have a choice. You did it because for exercise and your seat sucked because it killed my ass. I mean, it wasn't real cushiony. It was a nice bike. Don't get me wrong, gosh dang it, tear my ass up. But I did it to get to work because you were on vacation. Bryan: Man Jason: You know what I'm saying? We washed our clothes in the bathtub because I didn't have a washer and dryer. Bryan: Yeah, this is how life was. Jason: But all I can tell people because that's sad that that woman, if she did take her life, man, for her family, if anybody ever hears it, I'm sorry for your loss and I am because I was in there before. And like you said, there's some trees, not because I was depressed, it was because I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling like a failure. I'm sitting there doing the math in the head of the life insurance policy I've got that would make a bigger difference to my family. Bryan: Yeah. Jason: than what my damn job would. Bryan: That's what I've done. It's like, yeah, if if I die in an accident, then they'll get paid out. You know? Jason: Yeah, and she can pay the house off and the car and whatever. And we get out of debt and I'll probably get in more debt, I could give them something that I can't give them right now. All I can do is tell you to look down and just put one foot in front of the other. Remember when we used to have to put the 70 pound rucksack on her back and go on that march? I didn't look. Bryan: Well, it's sad to think like that. Yep. I I used to think that. Yeah, just keep moving forward. Jason: I didn't look forward, I just looked down and watched right and I just made sure I took one step and one step and one step and finally you'll get there. But you gotta keep grinding, you gotta grind, go get some help, go talk to somebody. Bryan: It's sad when you work when you know you worth more dead than when you are alive. Jason: Market what? Yeah ⁓ sick. It's almost as sick as the child porn crap and the pedophile crap. It is. This whole damn system's a mess. Sad. Greatest country in the world. Bryan: All right. Well, a couple of weeks ago I went over how survival shelters is a was a hot ticket item for the rich. And I asked a question and what the fuck they know that we don't know. You remember that? Yeah, well, I have something that may shed a little light on this. This is Julian Dory Dory again. Check this is ⁓ like a little doomsday. Check this out. Jason: Mm-hmm. Bryan: I wouldn't Do they think we're gonna have an uprising? Jason: I know I just I'm Things are gonna have I think things are gonna happen I think that are my book that I go by foretells a lot of that stuff and there's gonna be It's gonna collapse The system's gonna collapse and that money like like he's getting at that money ain't gonna mean shit Bryan: No. And is that why they want us to lose our survival skills? So we're easier to Jason: They're trying to weaken us. Yeah, they're trying to weaken us. So when there is a collapse that we can't be stronger than them. You see what I'm saying? They still want to be the strong in the collapse. ⁓ we all going down like on the Titanic, but you guys are gonna ride the boat. We're getting on the, you guys are gonna ride the Titanic down. We're getting on the lifeboats. Bryan: I think it's great that they real they realize that they know they're nothing once they lose money. Jason: ⁓ geez, man that just hit me. The Titanic, go back and watch that movie. It's a long movie. I watched it twice at the movie theater. That movie was awesome in the movie theater. I went and watched it twice. But anyways, why didn't the poor people, they were a majority of the people on the boat, the peasants down in the lower class. Why didn't they take over and get on? The Life Rats. Even in the fear of a boat sinking in the middle of the ocean, they still knew where they stood in life. Bryan: Yeah, I guess you're yeah, you're right when you say it like that. Jason: That's how conditioned we are, people. Bryan: That's a good way to put it, Jason. Jason: That just hit me. Y'all get that nugget for free. I ain't charging for that. Bryan: Now we we do have hope. Over the last couple of months, I've seen videos of more people speaking out about healthcare and ⁓ how our healthcare system is a problem. And I I think this is huge. And ⁓ I don't follow this shit going on in the healthcare industry, you know, but healthcare is a huge part of our life and and without healthcare our quality of life would suck. Period, right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bryan: But healthcare is expensive as fuck. Most people can't retire due to losing their health care. ⁓ health affairs reports that the US depend ⁓ they spend five point three trillion dollars annually, roughly fifteen thousand dollars per person. And our health care is eighteen percent of our GDP in the United States. We spend roughly twice the amount on health care as the average of all other countries here in the United States. Jason: Right here. Bryan: It's estimated that the US healthcare industry profits over five hundred billion dollars annually. All right, that's a profit. It was reported in the Yale School of Medicine that economic tracking reveals that a significant significant portion of the annual health care profits, an estimated 95% of that $500 billion over the past two decades is redistributed as payouts to shareholders rather than being reinvested directly into patient care. All right. And then we hear shit like this. How fucked up is that? I hope they they keep speaking out. I mean that's ridiculous. That is crooked. That is just unbelievable. Jason: I do too. That's crooked too, man. Bryan: All right. Well, you sent me this video of the Joker and ⁓ and it resonated with me. When you when you think of the fact that we as humans are the only animals on the planet that have to pay to fucking live on this planet. You know, it it becomes a problem. So ⁓ here's the joker. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did. Pretty good. I'm glad you sent that to me. Jason: I seen that and I was like, dang it. Heath Ledger did an awesome job as the Joker in that Batman. I mean, that's probably my favorite Batman other than the first one. ⁓ Just because, and I hated that he took his life or whatever, just dealing with demons. But anyways, ⁓ when I seen that dude, I was like, holy cow, that's spot on. And to have it in his voice. Bryan: Yeah, I enjoyed that one. Jason: Because if you go back and look at the Joker in Batman, he had a lot of sense to what he was saying. Even though he was deranged and crazy, he made a lot of sense in what he was saying and doing. And it was just, yeah, right there. mean, we're the only people on this planet, we're the only mammal on this planet that has to pay for shit. Bryan: ⁓ yeah. Fucked up. Jason: It is. Take back your life, people. Bryan: I don't wanna leave y'all with this. This is it's a man ex explanation of the reality of lonely. Hope that hit home with a lot of people. Jason: It did, but you know what I was like? Is he not making a TikTok? But anyway, it's, I, and I'd say that I promise and I do, get caught up in it. I look and see how many views we get on our reels and how many views we get on our big, big, ⁓ posts, know, with, don't check Spotify, but I check YouTube. look at TikTok. I look at Instagram, rumble, Instagram and rumble dude. They're just, they're just suffered. But anyways. Bryan: Well, we just started those two. Jason: I look at that, I know, but still they need to catch up. Damn it, Brian, we need to go viral. I don't care. I just said we need to go viral. No, we don't. We don't have to. I don't care if we get one view or zero views. I'm gonna keep doing this. If you're not on here, I'll do one myself. I'll just talk to myself. I do it all the time at work and in the truck. But I love talking to you. I love spending time. I like talking about, I like learning this stuff. I mean, I'm being educated. I didn't pay attention to this stuff. I'm one of those people that was being stupid and just wanted to come home and be left alone. Not realizing I'm being conditioned to be poor and. Bryan: You bought a poor tax. I hope all that made sense, you know. I I Jason: Yeah. Oh, it made 100 cents, dude. I learned something every night. If I wasn't learning shit, I'd be like, dude, you're going to have to come up with some better stuff because you're making me dumber. But no, I'm being smart. I'm being made smarter. I'm being enlightened to things. And now all them weird conspiracy theory people I've been around, they're not so much conspiracy theory people anymore. Bryan: They're not so weird, huh? Jason: Yeah, if we would have just listened to them 10 years ago, we'd have been like, we'd maybe a little bit better. But hopefully people are waking up and hopefully test it yourself people. Don't just take our word for it. Just like a good preacher says, don't just listen to my sermon, get in the book. Don't just listen to our podcasts, do your own research. Bryan: Maybe so. There you go. Got anything else? Jason: No, that's it. That's my knowledge for the night. Bryan: All right, well everyone, thanks for joining us. It was a pleasure spending time with you. Until next time, this is a Sense and Senseless Podcast. I am Brian. Yes day long. Peace. Jason: I'm Jason. Peace.
