- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to HBr Talk three eighty two. They
- 0:04Speaker 1: smile in your face, uh and all the while, all
- 0:09Speaker 1: the time they want to take your place, the backstabbers,
- 0:12Speaker 1: And we are unfortunately back to that because I couldn't
- 0:15Speaker 1: find anything light and cute that I thought we we
- 0:18Speaker 1: could discuss instead of this tonight. This is kind of
- 0:22Speaker 1: important anyway. It's it's a coup attempt, and it, you know,
- 0:28Speaker 1: might still be They might still be trying to do this.
- 0:32Speaker 1: They probably are. Even even after they get they get caught,
- 0:36Speaker 1: they usually will try to you know, ah, well we're
- 0:39Speaker 1: not doing that.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Now, we've stopped.
- 0:41Speaker 1: We're sorry, you know, we apologize. But then in the
- 0:44Speaker 1: background and all right, well let's let's pivot to uh,
- 0:48Speaker 1: this and we'll call it something else, we'll relabel it
- 0:52Speaker 1: and and everything, but we're still going to do the
- 0:56Speaker 1: same thing. So that's where we we are tonight. Sorry, Yes,
- 1:02Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tanna Wallen here with nonsense annihilator Lauren
- 1:05Speaker 1: Brooks and the personification of perceptivity Mike Stevenson a while
- 1:09Speaker 1: with the doge in charge Brian Martinez the background, making
- 1:13Speaker 1: sure the cargoes room broom room, and tonight we have
- 1:17Speaker 1: to fall back to the treacherous ground under the Humanitarian
- 1:21Speaker 1: Initiative VEIL to deal with our raging USAIDS infection. But
- 1:28Speaker 1: before we do that, we gotta do what we gotta do,
- 1:32Speaker 1: and so it is time to shill the shills. As always,
- 1:36Speaker 1: Honeybadgery Radio dishes out Ace morgas board of thought provoking discussions,
- 1:40Speaker 1: and as experiences both recent and long past have demonstrated,
- 1:44Speaker 1: the provoked thoughts are fighting back, They've made it clear
- 1:47Speaker 1: that for people like us, relying on third party payment
- 1:49Speaker 1: platforms like Patreon to fund our work is treading on
- 1:53Speaker 1: thin ice or building our house in the path of
- 1:57Speaker 1: a rapidly growing wildfire. Light of this, we strongly encourage
- 2:01Speaker 1: our supporters to switch at least their support for us
- 2:04Speaker 1: to feed the Badger dot Com the most stable way
- 2:07Speaker 1: to help us out. And if you want to tip
- 2:09Speaker 1: us directly instead of relying on any social media platform's
- 2:12Speaker 1: tip jar, the link for that is feed the Badger
- 2:14Speaker 1: dot Com slash just the tip. So that's feed the
- 2:19Speaker 1: Badger dot Com slash just the tip, because you don't
- 2:23Speaker 1: want to slash the whole thing. That kind of leads
- 2:27Speaker 1: to gender ideology. Actually, and as always, the same risk
- 2:34Speaker 1: applies to our social media platforms, both both the the
- 2:39Speaker 1: wildfire risk and having the whole thing slashed, which is
- 2:42Speaker 1: why you should further provoke the thought police by tracking
- 2:45Speaker 1: our thought provoking discussions on Honeybadger Brigade dot com, where
- 2:49Speaker 1: you can find your way to all of our content,
- 2:51Speaker 1: as well as a link to feed the Badger dot
- 2:54Speaker 1: com in the drop down menu at the top of
- 2:56Speaker 1: the page. And uh, oh my gosh, Murder of Crows
- 3:04Speaker 1: is on it tonight. Yes, herpes Ghanas Syphilides, yep, yep.
- 3:11Speaker 1: The these agencies that fund these NGOs that try to
- 3:18Speaker 1: enact coup attempts against the nation that is feeding them. Yeah,
- 3:25Speaker 1: they're every every STI. The book just kind of like
- 3:28Speaker 1: morphed all into one big ball of STI and then
- 3:33Speaker 1: now they've shoved it down our throats. So what you're
- 3:37Speaker 1: looking at is a Twitter thread we've been going through
- 3:40Speaker 1: and we will start there. But there's a rabbit hole,
- 3:45Speaker 1: because there's always a rabbit hole. There's always a fucking
- 3:49Speaker 1: rabbit hole, guys. There is never just a simple discussion
- 3:53Speaker 1: about shit. So so tonight we're gonna dig into that hole.
- 4:01Speaker 1: And yes, then you and no it's strong with this one.
- 4:06Speaker 1: But they asked for it. They were they've been asking
- 4:09Speaker 1: for it and capital lungs, you know, screaming for it,
- 4:13Speaker 1: begging please please dig into our hole. And so we will.
- 4:20Speaker 1: But with that, I want to remind you before we
- 4:24Speaker 1: do anything else, the last thing that we looked at
- 4:27Speaker 1: was this gobbledegook of a sentence that they they left
- 4:32Speaker 1: us with trying to explain briefly. Okay, guys, here's what
- 4:38Speaker 1: we're doing. So we're gonna we're gonna listen to that again,
- 4:42Speaker 1: because holy fuck.
- 4:45Speaker 3: The foment of the current constitutional crisis is our opportunity
- 4:50Speaker 3: to catalyze and synergize a dynamic change making, a dynamic
- 4:56Speaker 3: change making fractal ecosystems capable of co generation, the emergence
- 5:01Speaker 3: of the new thriving together based socio political economic governance systems.
- 5:07Speaker 3: That is a long sentence.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Even they admit, even they have to admit that the
- 5:17Speaker 1: the buzzword soup is a little to it, right, So
- 5:21Speaker 1: what what did they what did they basically say, there,
- 5:24Speaker 1: let's let's go over it again.
- 5:29Speaker 3: The foment of the current constitutional crisis is.
- 5:33Speaker 1: In other words, we are upset at the outcome of
- 5:37Speaker 1: the recent election and and uh the policies of the
- 5:42Speaker 1: new administration, not that there's actually a constitutional crisis, not
- 5:49Speaker 1: that it's actually being supported you know, as a constitutional crisis,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and and not that there is actually uh a a
- 5:59Speaker 1: cou going on from the side they oppose. This is
- 6:03Speaker 1: called a air and free election in which the people
- 6:07Speaker 1: had their say and the administration came in and began
- 6:12Speaker 1: doing what the people said we want. Like that's that's
- 6:17Speaker 1: what has them so upset. But yeah, the the foement
- 6:22Speaker 1: of the current constitutional crisis.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Is our opportunity to catalyze and synergize a dynamic change making.
- 6:33Speaker 1: In other words, this is our opportunity. This this new administration.
- 6:37Speaker 1: They know they don't have the experience that the uh,
- 6:40Speaker 1: you know, existing establishment has with working with the bureaucracy
- 6:48Speaker 1: uh to uh to maintain a stronghold over the people.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And so we can sneak in under their radar and
- 6:57Speaker 1: do things behind their back. That's what she's saying.
- 6:59Speaker 3: There a dynamic change making fractal ecosystems capable of co
- 7:05Speaker 3: generating the emergence of the new thriving together, meaning.
- 7:12Speaker 1: We could take all the tiny little organizations and departments
- 7:19Speaker 1: and agencies and sub agencies and offices and so on,
- 7:24Speaker 1: and conspire to overthrow them from the inside and from
- 7:32Speaker 1: behind their backs.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Based socio political economic governance systems.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Meaning that what they're going to use isn't a military overthrow, right,
- 7:48Speaker 1: It's not an information war that gets the people on
- 7:54Speaker 1: their side. It's going to be control over the economy
- 8:01Speaker 1: and control over the conversation, ways of preventing people from
- 8:07Speaker 1: dissentic and ways of punishing people if they try.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Long sentence, and that.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Is a long sentence, and it is a means of
- 8:18Speaker 1: disguising the fact that what she just said was that
- 8:25Speaker 1: all of these various organizations that use the US AIDS
- 8:33Speaker 1: infection USAID system infection to reach through your federal government
- 8:41Speaker 1: into your pocket and take your money and pay their
- 8:45Speaker 1: grifters to do jackshit for the people they say they're
- 8:47Speaker 1: doing things for all those people they're they're going to
- 8:55Speaker 1: try to conspire to get a clamp on the economy
- 9:03Speaker 1: through various means of controlling how money flows, so that
- 9:08Speaker 1: if you dissent, they can punish you. And they want
- 9:11Speaker 1: to get a clamp on social media so that they
- 9:15Speaker 1: have total control over all of the different ways that
- 9:20Speaker 1: money flows, and in doing so, that will give them
- 9:26Speaker 1: control over your ability to dissent to that ideas to
- 9:34Speaker 1: you know, attempt to participate in the civic process as
- 9:39Speaker 1: a decision makers. As what you are. The nation that
- 9:45Speaker 1: you live in is a corporation. Every nation is a corporation, right.
- 9:51Speaker 1: The shareholders in the corporation are the people in the nation.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So you, the shareholders in this corporation known as the
- 10:01Speaker 1: United States, are basically being told, no, fuck you, We're
- 10:05Speaker 1: gonna run it, and you don't get to decide. You
- 10:07Speaker 1: don't your vote's not going to count. We're going to
- 10:10Speaker 1: make sure that you can't make informed choices, and we're
- 10:13Speaker 1: going to control you so that you have no choice
- 10:17Speaker 1: when you vote, and you just basically are going in
- 10:21Speaker 1: and ticking off a box so that it looks like
- 10:24Speaker 1: you approve of what we're doing. And we're going to
- 10:27Speaker 1: prevent you from stopping us from stealing your money, which
- 10:31Speaker 1: is what we're doing, and that is essentially the entirety
- 10:37Speaker 1: of us as Outlook, they're entitled to your money. They're
- 10:43Speaker 1: coming for your dollars and your kids, by the way,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and that's where we are. So how are they going
- 10:51Speaker 1: to do this? Well, here we go. This is a
- 10:56Speaker 1: hell of a thing. Right, they have this organize system.
- 11:02Speaker 1: There's always an organized system, right, There's always a method,
- 11:05Speaker 1: there's always a how are you going to do this? Guys,
- 11:08Speaker 1: Well here's how and here we go.
- 11:12Speaker 4: This is the our Common Purpose initiative and it ties
- 11:17Speaker 4: into an implementation initiative called more Perfect, and it ties
- 11:23Speaker 4: completely into the panel you just heard from Prea Shanker.
- 11:28Speaker 4: You know, this whole notion that that civil society is
- 11:31Speaker 4: clearly part of the sustainability requirements that we have. So
- 11:36Speaker 4: with that, and again I.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Apologize now when they say sustainability, they're not talking about
- 11:42Speaker 1: you being able to maintain a solid economy, being able
- 11:48Speaker 1: to grow food or anything, you know, keeping the environment
- 11:51Speaker 1: from tanking so that you know, we don't end up
- 11:55Speaker 1: in some some sort of weird industrial pollution laid and
- 12:00Speaker 1: cancer cluster or something. No, it's it's about sustaining their
- 12:04Speaker 1: way of government. Right. So this thing he mentioned are
- 12:10Speaker 1: the art common Purpose thing. We'll get into that in
- 12:13Speaker 1: a minute, but I'll let I'll let it go here
- 12:15Speaker 1: for a minute, all guys.
- 12:18Speaker 4: As the Steve, I mean, he literally did this for
- 12:20Speaker 4: me because once he knew he couldn't get here, so
- 12:24Speaker 4: hit it.
- 12:24Speaker 5: Thank you, hello, and thanks for including me in your
- 12:29Speaker 5: conversation today. I'm very grateful to my friend Bob Bernstein
- 12:33Speaker 5: for this invitation.
- 12:35Speaker 1: By the way, this guy really sounds like he should
- 12:37Speaker 1: be going bueller bueller. He's very, very exciting speaker.
- 12:44Speaker 5: I'm Stephen Hinz. I'm the co chair of a national
- 12:47Speaker 5: commission that was organized by the American Academy of Arts
- 12:51Speaker 5: and Sciences to.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Study just just a point here, all right, I want
- 12:57Speaker 1: you to want you to think about the name of this.
- 12:59Speaker 1: This This is not the American Academy of protecting the
- 13:06Speaker 1: civil and human rights of the citizens, protecting the shareholders
- 13:10Speaker 1: of the corporation that our nation is now the arts
- 13:13Speaker 1: and sciences the people who think they're better than you.
- 13:18Speaker 1: So he is what did he say he is? Let's see,
- 13:21Speaker 1: let's listen to this again.
- 13:22Speaker 5: The I'm very grateful to my friend Bob Bernstein for
- 13:28Speaker 5: this invitation. I'm Stephen Heinz. I'm the co chair of
- 13:32Speaker 5: a national commission.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Of people who think they're better than you.
- 13:36Speaker 5: That was organized by the American Academy of Arts and
- 13:39Speaker 5: Sciences to study the health of American democracy.
- 13:42Speaker 1: There it is there are democracy, So what do they
- 13:47Speaker 1: mean when they say democracy? They mean their ability to
- 13:55Speaker 1: manipulate votes and other processes in within the democratic republic,
- 14:04Speaker 1: that we are the representative republic, that we are to
- 14:11Speaker 1: to to override the public. That's that's what they mean
- 14:16Speaker 1: by democracy and a very short.
- 14:19Speaker 6: And they will always have a stranglehold over this situation
- 14:25Speaker 6: as long as everyone's convinced that democracy is the best
- 14:31Speaker 6: or indeed only way to proceed with things. And that's
- 14:35Speaker 6: why there are so many of us pushing back against
- 14:37Speaker 6: this and saying it's it's not just to do with
- 14:41Speaker 6: the adage that democracy is the worst possible system apart
- 14:45Speaker 6: from all the others.
- 14:47Speaker 5: No, it's.
- 14:49Speaker 1: It's there.
- 14:50Speaker 6: There are other systems better than this. There are other
- 14:53Speaker 6: systems who with better track records for sustaining a country
- 14:58Speaker 6: for millennia. As a posed to centuries, democracy has only
- 15:04Speaker 6: lasted for centuries. You could consider ancient Greece, but even
- 15:12Speaker 6: that only lasted for centuries. That too eventually shrank into nothingness,
- 15:18Speaker 6: and so did the Roman Empire. But monarchies have kept
- 15:25Speaker 6: on going. They've weaved in between the democracies, and they
- 15:29Speaker 6: will continue to do so. It's but it's it's a
- 15:34Speaker 6: tricky questions as to what degree we can ever get
- 15:38Speaker 6: back to that or if we can get beyond that
- 15:40Speaker 6: into and into something that's neither monarchy nor democracy, like
- 15:45Speaker 6: anarcho capitalism. Oh no ah, he said it, Yeah, I
- 15:49Speaker 6: said it. It's it sounds like pie in the sky.
- 15:54Speaker 6: But you know, we do live in different times, in
- 15:58Speaker 6: very different times, and maybe there's such a thing as
- 16:03Speaker 6: a narco monarchy, what would it I'm trying to think
- 16:08Speaker 6: as flexibly as I can, you know, or a narco
- 16:15Speaker 6: capitalist monarchy or whatever it is, whatever combination of things
- 16:20Speaker 6: will work. But this constant insistence that the only thing
- 16:25Speaker 6: that can work is democracy is it seems to be
- 16:31Speaker 6: finally having having its legs like shoved out from under
- 16:35Speaker 6: it because like, especially given that it's conducted by people
- 16:45Speaker 6: who call it our democracy, and we're trying to translate
- 16:50Speaker 6: what they mean by our democracy. They don't call it
- 16:55Speaker 6: the democracy. They don't even call it democracy with out
- 17:00Speaker 6: the definite article or without an indefinite article like a democracy.
- 17:07Speaker 6: It is our democracy, Like, why why do you insist
- 17:10Speaker 6: on calling it that? It's it's for the same reason
- 17:14Speaker 6: communists kept calling everything of the people's whatever it was.
- 17:20Speaker 6: That's what democracy means, rule by the people, and it's
- 17:23Speaker 6: it's obviously a euphemism, like the way the Soviet Union
- 17:32Speaker 6: called everything the people's thing, but it was never the
- 17:34Speaker 6: people's thing. It was the ruling classes thing. And that's
- 17:39Speaker 6: that's what they mean by our democracy. It's not it's
- 17:42Speaker 6: not the people's thing. It's because it's it's something that
- 17:49Speaker 6: the ruling class speak of. It's if anything is our oligarchy.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. When they say that, what they are
- 18:03Speaker 1: saying is we are the owners of this so called democracy.
- 18:10Speaker 1: And they're not enamored of democracy because they think it
- 18:18Speaker 1: gives everyone an equal say, they're enamoredi democracy because they
- 18:25Speaker 1: think it gives them a better opportunity to manipulate the
- 18:29Speaker 1: system by stacking the deck against individuals. And it does.
- 18:39Speaker 1: It does. It gives them a perfect opportunity for it.
- 18:44Speaker 1: In Ohio, when my parents were teaching, the school systems
- 18:50Speaker 1: had a debate going on when my parents were young teachers,
- 18:55Speaker 1: do we become a closed state for union schools? In
- 19:03Speaker 1: other words, the state and national teachers associations, the state
- 19:10Speaker 1: and national teachers unions. They wanted to set it up
- 19:16Speaker 1: so that in the public school system, all of the schools,
- 19:21Speaker 1: all of the teachers had to be union members, as
- 19:25Speaker 1: in clothes shop, and the most of the schools didn't
- 19:29Speaker 1: want that. The overwhelming majority of actual school systems, the
- 19:33Speaker 1: teachers in those school systems did not want that. But
- 19:38Speaker 1: in the urban areas the teachers did want that, and
- 19:42Speaker 1: there were more classroom teachers in bigger school systems in
- 19:51Speaker 1: those areas. So the way that they were voting, each
- 19:56Speaker 1: school system would vote on their own and they decided
- 20:03Speaker 1: to make it an individual democratic vote, and they pushed
- 20:09Speaker 1: and pushed and pushed until they got that changed so
- 20:12Speaker 1: that the school systems could not decide for themselves each
- 20:15Speaker 1: system how they wanted to go. What they had instead
- 20:20Speaker 1: in the school systems prior to the unions was professional associations,
- 20:27Speaker 1: which were more similar to the old fashioned guild where
- 20:32Speaker 1: they did they did create standards and practices as the
- 20:38Speaker 1: the the unions do, but the teachers themselves, the individual
- 20:47Speaker 1: teachers in the local school system systems, had a lot
- 20:51Speaker 1: more input into that, and it wasn't top down, it
- 20:55Speaker 1: was bottom up, and so the people that worked with
- 20:58Speaker 1: and observed the behaviors and needs of the students were
- 21:03Speaker 1: the ones who were most active in deciding what they
- 21:08Speaker 1: should be doing for the students, what the students needed,
- 21:12Speaker 1: and how to best serve them. And then along comes
- 21:17Speaker 1: this change. We're going to change the way we vote
- 21:22Speaker 1: so that instead of giving the school systems, the different
- 21:27Speaker 1: school systems their own say on whether to make it
- 21:31Speaker 1: so that the entire state has to do the same
- 21:34Speaker 1: thing or not. And and you know, they could have
- 21:40Speaker 1: gone through and said, well, our school system is going
- 21:43Speaker 1: to be a union school system even if other school
- 21:45Speaker 1: systems are not. Or our system is going to be
- 21:49Speaker 1: a professional association school system even if other school systems
- 21:52Speaker 1: are not. They they created this, this this manner of
- 21:58Speaker 1: voting in which the number of teachers in the urban
- 22:04Speaker 1: areas were able to overwhelm the vote and force the
- 22:10Speaker 1: country schools, the rural schools basically, and the small town
- 22:15Speaker 1: schools that did not need to have a national association
- 22:21Speaker 1: controlling their curriculum into accepting and joining the National Education Association.
- 22:31Speaker 1: And they did this in every state. Once they had
- 22:33Speaker 1: a strong grip on the entire country, they began inserting,
- 22:39Speaker 1: by the way, the world is going to end in
- 22:43Speaker 1: ten years if we don't stop fishing into the curriculum.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And it wasn't just in science class, where you know,
- 22:51Speaker 1: parents might actually read what the kid is learning and say, no,
- 22:55Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm going to push back on that
- 22:56Speaker 1: a little bit, just like it wasn't just in health
- 23:00Speaker 1: class when they introduced, by the way, you might be
- 23:04Speaker 1: you might have been born in the wrong body, and
- 23:07Speaker 1: you get special treatment in the classroom if you were.
- 23:12Speaker 1: In fact, you're nobody. If you are, are you know,
- 23:17Speaker 1: content with your your gender and content with your sexuality.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, five year old kid sexuality
- 23:25Speaker 1: is blah.
- 23:25Speaker 7: Blah blah blah blah like that, that's where we ended
- 23:28Speaker 7: up as a result of that, right, and they basically
- 23:33Speaker 7: stiff armed the entire country into that by changing the
- 23:38Speaker 7: way the system for voting it into place worked to
- 23:43Speaker 7: overwhelm the majority of schools, the majority of communities, with
- 23:52Speaker 7: the populace of the minority of communities that were urban areas.
- 23:57Speaker 1: They could have done this without forcing it on everybody else.
- 24:05Speaker 1: So to just keep that in mind when we'll see
- 24:09Speaker 1: a little bit more what this guy has to say, We've.
- 24:12Speaker 5: Worked together for more than two years, a very diverse
- 24:14Speaker 5: group of Americans from all parts of the country, from
- 24:17Speaker 5: different sectors of our society and with different political perspectives and.
- 24:23Speaker 1: We so this has been a long standing conspiracy. They've
- 24:27Speaker 1: been working on this individual project. They organized this project
- 24:31Speaker 1: and have been working on it for two years, which
- 24:34Speaker 1: means they've been This is part of the along March
- 24:37Speaker 1: through the institutions. Yes, Murder of Crows, I remember that.
- 24:45Speaker 1: So Murder of Crow seventy five to twelve. We've been
- 24:48Speaker 1: We're supposed weren't we supposed to be under two miles
- 24:52Speaker 1: of ice since the late seventies, And yeah, my area
- 24:56Speaker 1: kind of had a panic about that in nineteen seventy
- 24:58Speaker 1: eight when we had a blizard uh, and the snow
- 25:02Speaker 1: drifts in various areas got as tall as Canadian snow drifts.
- 25:09Speaker 1: So we were we were driving in between walls of
- 25:12Speaker 1: snow for a few weeks after that. It's it's happening,
- 25:15Speaker 1: It's happening, you know. Well, no, it wasn't happening. It's
- 25:19Speaker 1: just that, you know, Ohio is flat up up north,
- 25:23Speaker 1: Southern Ohio is slightly less flat, and as you get
- 25:27Speaker 1: to southeastern Ohio, which it's even much more less flat,
- 25:32Speaker 1: if that makes sense. There's hills in that part of Ohio,
- 25:36Speaker 1: the actual real like bumps in the ground and stuff.
- 25:41Speaker 1: But but where I grew up, like, it's flat, it's
- 25:44Speaker 1: flat flat, and uh because you know it's the where
- 25:47Speaker 1: the glaciers scraped everything off and just rubbed it smooth.
- 25:51Speaker 6: And this point, at this point, we're being told about
- 25:56Speaker 6: rising sea levels and that means most of the Netherlands
- 25:59Speaker 6: is going to be underwater. Well, they've been told that
- 26:01Speaker 6: they're going to be underwater any year now for the
- 26:05Speaker 6: last few decades. Are like, no, we should to be
- 26:09Speaker 6: done just fine, thank you very much, just busiest man
- 26:13Speaker 6: made structures to make sure that they don't become underwater.
- 26:18Speaker 1: That's a fucking that. That's what they've done. They've pretty
- 26:24Speaker 1: much conquered it.
- 26:26Speaker 6: What what is it, the Maldives or whatever it is,
- 26:28Speaker 6: this series of islands of the Indian Ocean that's it's
- 26:31Speaker 6: got the lowest elevation of any of any country, Like
- 26:34Speaker 6: the highest elevation at any point in the series of
- 26:37Speaker 6: islands is like twenty five meters or something. And they've
- 26:42Speaker 6: been warned for decades now that they're going to be
- 26:45Speaker 6: the first to go underwater, and they're still there just
- 26:47Speaker 6: like no, it hasn't happened yet we're bracing for the worst.
- 26:53Speaker 6: But the shoreline doesn't seem to have budged a smagging
- 26:58Speaker 6: inch so far. But yeah, we believe you. Yeah, give it,
- 27:04Speaker 6: give it, Give us all the money you have to
- 27:06Speaker 6: make sure that we can prevent this from happening.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Like I believe it. I believe it. When wealthy politicians
- 27:17Speaker 1: quit buying shoreline properties.
- 27:19Speaker 8: Yes, that ship is just like, I mean, how more
- 27:26Speaker 8: in your face can you be?
- 27:29Speaker 2: Yeah, talking out one side of your mouth.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Oh my god, the willion it is.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Well, the glads are nothing, but let me buy this
- 27:38Speaker 2: nine point five million dollars sprawling estate. Get them the.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Beaches of California.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Yes, to be.
- 27:48Speaker 6: Fair, they have enough money to just abandon those particular
- 27:51Speaker 6: properties because they have a dozen other properties elsewhere in
- 27:54Speaker 6: the world. But you can examine what's actually happening to
- 27:59Speaker 6: the sea levels and shawlline and that's what's important. Like
- 28:03Speaker 6: they're never gonna leave those house houses because the sea
- 28:06Speaker 6: isn't fucking moving at all. That's what's important.
- 28:12Speaker 1: There's another thing that that you gotta you gotta pay
- 28:15Speaker 1: attention to as well, Right, the ice that is floating
- 28:21Speaker 1: in the ocean. If it melts, that doesn't matter at all.
- 28:27Speaker 1: It's it's like sitting on something if it's on top
- 28:30Speaker 1: of the ice that's on land, or the ice that
- 28:32Speaker 1: is propped on the bottom of the ocean and and
- 28:36Speaker 1: goes all the way from the bottom of the ocean
- 28:38Speaker 1: to the to the surface where it stands up out
- 28:42Speaker 1: of the ocean because it can't sink any further. If
- 28:46Speaker 1: that ice melts, that might make a difference. It's very
- 28:51Speaker 1: I want you to take a clear plastic cup and
- 28:56Speaker 1: fill it with water about halfway and then put ice
- 29:01Speaker 1: in it that doesn't touch the bottom. Just put any
- 29:04Speaker 1: ice in it at all. It doesn't touch the bottom,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and uh, I want I want you to to see
- 29:09Speaker 1: what happens to the water level, Like mark it with
- 29:13Speaker 1: a marker, uh, and see what happens to the water
- 29:17Speaker 1: level as that ice melts.
- 29:20Speaker 6: It does not overflow over the sides of the container.
- 29:24Speaker 6: This is a simple physics experiment that they should teach
- 29:26Speaker 6: you when you're fucking twelve.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're they're busy scaring the shit out of
- 29:32Speaker 1: small children because they can't convince adults that ice will
- 29:37Speaker 1: behave differently in in the ocean than it does in
- 29:41Speaker 1: other water. So again, unless they then come through and say, well,
- 29:45Speaker 1: all the all the land mass ice is is going
- 29:50Speaker 1: to melt and that much ice will actually raise the
- 29:54Speaker 1: sea level somehow, then then there's their fear mongering isn't
- 30:02Speaker 1: going to work, right, So, yeah, it's it's kind of
- 30:09Speaker 1: it's kind of pathetic, but yeah, this has been going
- 30:12Speaker 1: on for a long time. Guys. When my parents first
- 30:16Speaker 1: heard from me that, you know, I came home from
- 30:19Speaker 1: school all upset because of some of the environmental stuff
- 30:21Speaker 1: I was being taught, and my dad was like, you know,
- 30:26Speaker 1: when I was in school, they told us we were
- 30:29Speaker 1: severely overpopulated and that by the time you were born,
- 30:33Speaker 1: there wouldn't be room for two people to stand together there.
- 30:38Speaker 1: We would all have just a just a standing room
- 30:41Speaker 1: only left on earth at the rate of birth in
- 30:44Speaker 1: the world, because they weren't considering the rate of death
- 30:48Speaker 1: in the world, or the rate of scientific advancement that
- 30:53Speaker 1: allowed buildings to be made, that that lots of people
- 30:58Speaker 1: can live in a small amount on a small amount
- 31:01Speaker 1: of land, and so on. But in the meantime, none
- 31:08Speaker 1: of that has ever happened. Like every prediction they've made,
- 31:11Speaker 1: none of it has happened. We haven't run out of
- 31:13Speaker 1: fish every ten years for the last seventy years or so,
- 31:18Speaker 1: none of that. So all of these dire predictions are bullshit.
- 31:22Speaker 1: It's just ways of manipulating you. Now, does that mean
- 31:25Speaker 1: that it's okay to dump toxic chemicals into the groundwater. No,
- 31:30Speaker 1: we still have to be not environmentally stupid. Right, don't
- 31:36Speaker 1: set your lakes and rivers on fire, people. We had
- 31:40Speaker 1: a fire at one point in the Ohio River. Actually,
- 31:43Speaker 1: it's been on fire multiple times, and the EPA was
- 31:47Speaker 1: kind of invented because of things that happened in Ohio.
- 31:52Speaker 1: But there's a balance. There's got to be a balance
- 31:56Speaker 1: between the ffforts to not do stupid things environmentally and
- 32:05Speaker 1: the efforts to use environmental science as a scare tactic
- 32:12Speaker 1: to control people economically, which is what these people are doing.
- 32:17Speaker 1: And this, by the way, is why they want control
- 32:19Speaker 1: over social media because this discussion isn't something that they
- 32:23Speaker 1: want us to be allowed to have. They don't want
- 32:25Speaker 1: us to be allowed to have this discussion where you
- 32:28Speaker 1: point out that ice and water do not behave the
- 32:32Speaker 1: way that they are threatening us that they will behave.
- 32:36Speaker 1: That's something that is just not acceptable to the elites.
- 32:45Speaker 1: So going on here.
- 32:47Speaker 5: You looked at the research, the data, the literature, the.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Most important propaganda, and we.
- 32:53Speaker 5: Listen to Americans in fifty communities across this country in
- 32:56Speaker 5: very diverse settings.
- 32:58Speaker 8: Oh, fifty whole community, the whole com Oh my god,
- 33:04Speaker 8: what did that take you?
- 33:05Speaker 2: Like an afternoon?
- 33:10Speaker 1: There's there are are fifty communities on one side, one
- 33:15Speaker 1: quarter one corner of Ohio. Sorry, guys, maybe there's fifty.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Maybe there's only fifty community. No, there's probably more than
- 33:25Speaker 1: fifty communities in Connecticut as tiny as ye. Oh yeah,
- 33:30Speaker 1: there's probably fifty communities in a part of Ohio the
- 33:33Speaker 1: size of Connecticut.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:36Speaker 8: And it was probably like a fucking zoom call, right,
- 33:39Speaker 8: like a zoom mean yeah, people so fullish shit?
- 33:44Speaker 1: They went to fifty nursing homes in Florida. What kind
- 33:52Speaker 1: of communities are we talking about? Oh, you know the
- 33:55Speaker 1: ones where like you ask people questions about their political
- 33:59Speaker 1: views and they tell you what their grandchildren are doing
- 34:02Speaker 1: this week because they've seen pictures on the Facebook. Uh
- 34:11Speaker 1: uh yeah, no, I hate to make fun of this,
- 34:13Speaker 1: but I'm sorry. This is this is that's pathetic. Fifty communities.
- 34:17Speaker 1: That's it. That's all they talk to. That's that's him
- 34:21Speaker 1: telling you.
- 34:22Speaker 9: We we we very carefully cultivated the set of people
- 34:28Speaker 9: we were talking to, curated the set of people we
- 34:32Speaker 9: were talking to to get the answers we wanted so
- 34:35Speaker 9: that we could then come and tell you we.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Talked to representatives of the people, and this is what
- 34:41Speaker 1: the people had to say, when in fact it's just
- 34:45Speaker 1: their cronies, and with.
- 34:49Speaker 5: Very divergent points of view. And we came away from
- 34:52Speaker 5: that convinced that are.
- 34:54Speaker 1: The very divergent points of view are well? The Titanic
- 34:58Speaker 1: is thinking, we think that the chairs should be placed
- 35:01Speaker 1: in a star pattern, and the divergent point is no, no, no, no.
- 35:06Speaker 1: The chairs have always been in rows. We need to
- 35:07Speaker 1: put them in rows. But nobody has considered the possibility
- 35:13Speaker 1: of not running into the iceberg.
- 35:19Speaker 5: Democracy needs not only to be reformed, but really in
- 35:22Speaker 5: a way, reinvented, reimagined.
- 35:24Speaker 1: Oh there's another one. What do you just say?
- 35:26Speaker 2: There?
- 35:28Speaker 1: And this let's go back.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Not that far in very.
- 35:33Speaker 5: Diverse settings and with very divergent points of view, And
- 35:37Speaker 5: we came away from that convinced that our democracy needs
- 35:40Speaker 5: not only to be reformed, but really in a way reinvented.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Real They need to reinvent democracy, imagined, reimagine democracy. And
- 35:51Speaker 1: what does that mean when they say they want to
- 35:53Speaker 1: reinvent and reimagine things, It means, well, we didn't We're
- 35:57Speaker 1: not getting the results we want. Therefore you're doing it
- 35:59Speaker 1: wrong and we want to change it. Yeah, very simple, right,
- 36:07Speaker 1: what we have right now, If Ohio and the other
- 36:12Speaker 1: states had done this with regard to the unions, we
- 36:16Speaker 1: would have had a better result, a result that was
- 36:20Speaker 1: more representative of what the teachers wanted. We have in
- 36:25Speaker 1: our parliamentary system. We have one set of representatives that
- 36:32Speaker 1: gets voted for that each state gets the same number
- 36:38Speaker 1: of votes regardless of population, and then we have one
- 36:41Speaker 1: set that is specifically representative of the populace. The population,
- 36:49Speaker 1: so if your state has a larger population, you get
- 36:55Speaker 1: more of this type of representative, and if your state
- 36:58Speaker 1: has a smaller population, you less of this type of representative.
- 37:02Speaker 1: And they have districts rather than representing the entire state,
- 37:06Speaker 1: although to a degree they represent the entire state, and
- 37:09Speaker 1: so it allows an equal say for states with smaller populations.
- 37:18Speaker 1: And it also allows individuals to have their sway on
- 37:26Speaker 1: the system by sending representatives that handle both, and this
- 37:33Speaker 1: is important. Both the populous representatives and the representatives of
- 37:40Speaker 1: the actual states have to agree enough that a majority
- 37:45Speaker 1: of both of them pass a law before it actually
- 37:51Speaker 1: goes to be signed by our executive leader. And then
- 37:55Speaker 1: the executive leader has to have been voted in by
- 38:02Speaker 1: the largest number of voters out of everybody that voted
- 38:08Speaker 1: in his election. So you have a popular leader leader
- 38:16Speaker 1: that the populace decided on right, and that also goes
- 38:20Speaker 1: through a system that gives the states their say, and
- 38:25Speaker 1: that does allow states with larger populations a little more sway.
- 38:32Speaker 1: So you have sort of two pins in already for
- 38:39Speaker 1: a democratic popular vote system, but you have a check
- 38:44Speaker 1: on it for a nationwide every state gets their say system,
- 38:53Speaker 1: and then if it turns out to be unconstitutional, then
- 38:56Speaker 1: the Supreme Court can throw it out. So it's pretty
- 38:59Speaker 1: good system because it allows several little checks and balances
- 39:03Speaker 1: that prevent a group of people from coming along and saying, well,
- 39:08Speaker 1: if we can get fifty point zero zero zero one
- 39:12Speaker 1: percent of the population to agree that X is better
- 39:16Speaker 1: than Y, then they can just trample over the forty
- 39:20Speaker 1: nine point nine nine nine percent that you know that
- 39:26Speaker 1: that allows a little bit of contention between them, and
- 39:32Speaker 1: the possibility of back and forth, and the possibility that
- 39:36Speaker 1: actually it takes more of a majority than that to
- 39:42Speaker 1: to override a minority of voters, and something has to
- 39:47Speaker 1: be much more popular to to make that big of
- 39:51Speaker 1: a change. And if that had been the case with
- 39:55Speaker 1: the unionization of our schools, for instance, they would have
- 40:00Speaker 1: had to engage in a significant level of salesmanship to
- 40:05Speaker 1: get the smaller schools to agree to it, because they
- 40:08Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to just trample them in the process.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Richard Pierre just sent us five dollars and said, there's
- 40:19Speaker 1: a book by Tom Kratman called A Desert called Peace,
- 40:24Speaker 1: which is a science fiction book about a society five
- 40:27Speaker 1: hundred years in our future. The elites have said that
- 40:30Speaker 1: they have a desire to see the rest of the
- 40:31Speaker 1: world outside their gated communities, only to be lit by fire.
- 40:40Speaker 1: So that's the entire thing, I think, And I'm not
- 40:44Speaker 1: sure the way that sentence is written, and there's no
- 40:47Speaker 1: period at the end of it. If that's the entire sentence,
- 40:50Speaker 1: it's not a book I've read, so I don't know
- 40:53Speaker 1: what the story is. So Richard, you might need to
- 40:56Speaker 1: clarify that one a little bit, because I'm not sure
- 40:59Speaker 1: what you're saying there, whether it's if they want if
- 41:10Speaker 1: they want to leave their gated communities but they catch
- 41:13Speaker 1: on fire when they leave, or if they only want
- 41:16Speaker 1: that area to be lit by fire in no place
- 41:18Speaker 1: else or what. I'm not sure there. But in any case,
- 41:26Speaker 1: just as that little lesson, it's going to be important
- 41:30Speaker 1: as we go through this a little bit for the.
- 41:32Speaker 5: Kinds of challenges we face in the twenty first century.
- 41:36Speaker 5: In June of twenty twenty, we issued this report, Our
- 41:39Speaker 5: Common Purpose, Reinventing American Democracy for the twenty first Century.
- 41:44Speaker 5: It includes thirty one very concrete recommendations for changes to
- 41:49Speaker 5: our institutions, our processes, but also ways to revive a
- 41:54Speaker 5: healthier civic culture.
- 41:56Speaker 1: So what did he just say there, let's go back
- 42:00Speaker 1: and uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna rewind again here tuitions
- 42:06Speaker 1: are pros a little more than that.
- 42:09Speaker 5: On very concrete recommendations for changes to our institutions, our processes,
- 42:16Speaker 5: but also ways to revive a healthier civic culture.
- 42:20Speaker 1: So they're so mad, all right, They're so mad that
- 42:28Speaker 1: men put their foot down and said no, stop stealing
- 42:34Speaker 1: from us. Stop paying women to make stupid choices. Stop
- 42:39Speaker 1: sending us to war when there's nothing for us to
- 42:43Speaker 1: fight for. There's not a cause that we support. There's
- 42:47Speaker 1: not a threat to our homes and our families right.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Stop trampling our property rights, stop trampling our civil rights,
- 42:56Speaker 1: Stop railroading us in the court systems and taking our
- 42:59Speaker 1: chill in a way. They're so mad that men said
- 43:03Speaker 1: no to these things that they want to change the
- 43:07Speaker 1: entire government system, the entire election system, the way that
- 43:14Speaker 1: our leadership of this corporation is decided. This is a
- 43:22Speaker 1: coup is essentially the hostile takeover of a corporation by outsiders,
- 43:31Speaker 1: by minority shareholders and people who are parts of other
- 43:36Speaker 1: corporations other countries. Richard Beierre says, the gated communities would
- 43:43Speaker 1: have all of the modern technology, and those outside would
- 43:46Speaker 1: be living stone age lifestyles. To protect the environment, Oh
- 43:50Speaker 1: I see how that is? Okay, yep, So that the
- 43:54Speaker 1: wealthy people have earned the right to use electric lights
- 44:01Speaker 1: and so on. But you plubs, you plubs that destroy
- 44:05Speaker 1: the environment. It's your fault. We're in this situation. So
- 44:08Speaker 1: you you have to use candles and you have to
- 44:13Speaker 1: heat your home with a fireplace. Well, we have a
- 44:17Speaker 1: furnace that runs on gas or electricity or something. Yeah,
- 44:20Speaker 1: that's how I can see that. I could totally see that.
- 44:24Speaker 1: But yeah, so this is what he's saying. Here is again,
- 44:29Speaker 1: we want to rig the game because we lost in
- 44:32Speaker 1: a fair fight and we don't like it. They're not
- 44:39Speaker 1: protecting your right to vote. They're not protecting the system
- 44:46Speaker 1: that you use to determine the leadership of your corporation.
- 44:51Speaker 1: They are trying to take it over. They are engaging
- 44:54Speaker 1: in a hostile takeover.
- 45:00Speaker 5: We are now embarked on a campaign with partners all
- 45:03Speaker 5: across the country to help advance these reforms to our
- 45:07Speaker 5: democracy in order to our restore it, to save it, to.
- 45:12Speaker 1: Have to save our democracy from the voters. Guys, those
- 45:17Speaker 1: evil voters aren't doing what we want them to do.
- 45:21Speaker 1: So how are they going to save our democracy? Oh no, wait, no,
- 45:25Speaker 1: it's their democrats. How are they going to save their
- 45:28Speaker 1: democracy that we, the plubs, are not part of. So
- 45:34Speaker 1: let's take a look at this strategy one. Well, we'll
- 45:38Speaker 1: just look at it. They had this type table of contents, right,
- 45:44Speaker 1: and and let's see if I'm I don't know if
- 45:49Speaker 1: I'm going to go through and read all of this part.
- 45:52Speaker 1: I want to get straight to the strategies just because
- 45:56Speaker 1: the first couple things here are really egregious. Achieve equality
- 46:02Speaker 1: of voice and representation sounds good, right, sounds like they're
- 46:08Speaker 1: trying to make sure that you have your say, But
- 46:11Speaker 1: what does it actually mean? What are they actually trying
- 46:14Speaker 1: to do? Expand both the House of Representatives and the
- 46:23Speaker 1: ways that people can vote for their representatives. Change how
- 46:28Speaker 1: districts are drawn. This is called gerrymandering, by the way,
- 46:32Speaker 1: First to eliminate partisan jerrymandering. So they're going to use
- 46:35Speaker 1: jererymandering to eliminate jerrymandering. Guys that that totally is effective.
- 46:40Speaker 1: And then to make them larger, allowing several representatives per district.
- 46:45Speaker 1: Amend this basically creates contention in Congress between representatives for
- 46:52Speaker 1: the same district. That that's helpful. Amend the Constitution to
- 46:57Speaker 1: allow for congressional regulation of campaign expenditures. So what's wrong
- 47:03Speaker 1: with allowing the government to decide what people can contribute to,
- 47:11Speaker 1: how how people can financially back a candidate that they like.
- 47:15Speaker 1: Can you know what do you think might be the
- 47:18Speaker 1: problem with allowing incumbents to place limitations on your ability
- 47:26Speaker 1: to fund the campaigns of their competition when you disagree
- 47:32Speaker 1: with them. You think that that I might actually be
- 47:38Speaker 1: an incumbent protection practice right there. Yeah, imagine if we
- 47:47Speaker 1: passed along Ohio that said Walmart gets to decide how
- 47:53Speaker 1: much its competitors are allowed to to spend on advertising
- 48:00Speaker 1: in the public media. You think you think CBS would
- 48:04Speaker 1: be able to do much advertising or Walgreens.
- 48:10Speaker 6: There's there's this disparity. When I saw I saw a
- 48:18Speaker 6: few tweets of people who were saying Donald Trump, Donald
- 48:22Speaker 6: Trump is telling us to uh, to be austere and
- 48:25Speaker 6: to save money. Meanwhile he has fucking golden toilets and everything.
- 48:30Speaker 6: Musk is telling us maybe we should save money because
- 48:33Speaker 6: that will help us, and all these all these all
- 48:36Speaker 6: these evil fucking billionaires are telling us, Yeah, a good
- 48:43Speaker 6: way to save money is to save energy and so
- 48:47Speaker 6: and they're all, well, you can't tell us this. You
- 48:50Speaker 6: don't save money, you're spending billions because because you have billions. Meanwhile,
- 48:56Speaker 6: the government is telling them we're going to loss you
- 49:00Speaker 6: to to useless energy because it's gonna save the planet.
- 49:07Speaker 8: And that's.
- 49:09Speaker 6: And that and that's the difference between giving someone good
- 49:14Speaker 6: advice for what it actually means and giving someone the
- 49:20Speaker 6: same advice based on lies, like using less energy isn't
- 49:25Speaker 6: going to save the planet.
- 49:26Speaker 2: It's not.
- 49:27Speaker 6: The fucking planet is going to be fine. I mean,
- 49:29Speaker 6: this is this is fucking if you're get If you
- 49:35Speaker 6: if you're gonna save energy, it should be for your
- 49:37Speaker 6: own good. It should be because it's going to save
- 49:41Speaker 6: you money. And frugality is is its own virtue aside
- 49:50Speaker 6: from anything else, like because it prevents you from being
- 49:57Speaker 6: accustomed to using too much energy of any kind, energy
- 50:02Speaker 6: of any kind really, and people should get on board
- 50:08Speaker 6: with that. They should be like, yeah, I should save
- 50:10Speaker 6: money regardless of the fact that people who can afford
- 50:14Speaker 6: to spend money are spending money. I should still save
- 50:16Speaker 6: money no matter how poor I am, because I mean,
- 50:19Speaker 6: that's how you get rich in the first place. That's how.
- 50:23Speaker 6: In the meantime, the other billionaires, the fucking grift of ones,
- 50:29Speaker 6: and especially the government, which is itself a trillionaire. There's
- 50:36Speaker 6: no such thing as a trillion are individually, but the
- 50:40Speaker 6: most world governments are trillionaires. And they're not individual humans,
- 50:45Speaker 6: but they are machines.
- 50:49Speaker 1: They're corporations. They're trillionair corporations.
- 50:52Speaker 6: Yeah, they're machine trillionaires. And then and they're here telling you, no,
- 50:58Speaker 6: you should you should be frugal because it's gonna save
- 51:01Speaker 6: the world. In fact, we're going to force you to
- 51:03Speaker 6: be frugal because it's gonna save the world. And that's like,
- 51:09Speaker 6: it's not gonna save the world, and yet they're forcing
- 51:13Speaker 6: you to do it. This is bullshit on two different levels.
- 51:19Speaker 6: Like they're not telling you to do it for your
- 51:22Speaker 6: own good. That telling telling it to you because if
- 51:26Speaker 6: some nonsense is going to convince you that that you're
- 51:30Speaker 6: some fucking environmental freedom fighter who's gonna save the planet,
- 51:37Speaker 6: even though the planet is gonna be fucking fine. And meanwhile,
- 51:40Speaker 6: they're not even asking you, they're not even advising you
- 51:44Speaker 6: to be frugal. They're going, yeah, no, we're gonna fucking
- 51:49Speaker 6: steal all your money to force you to be frugal.
- 51:53Speaker 6: And these fucking deckheads are like, yeah, yeah, no, that's fine, Yeah,
- 51:56Speaker 6: that's that's good. Everyone should be on board with this,
- 51:58Speaker 6: and everyone anyone who's not on board with it, it
- 52:00Speaker 6: is a fucking nazee. It a fascist. Oh that uh,
- 52:06Speaker 6: there are so many layers of this clown world that
- 52:10Speaker 6: it drives me to drink well.
- 52:13Speaker 1: The sad thing is they have successfully convinced people that
- 52:17Speaker 1: money is something that it is not right. Money is
- 52:22Speaker 1: all money is all currency is of any kind is
- 52:26Speaker 1: a placeholder. It doesn't represent anything else. You spend the
- 52:32Speaker 1: thing that everybody has the same amount of to get it.
- 52:37Speaker 1: Nobody has more minutes in their day. Everybody has a
- 52:42Speaker 1: twenty four hour day, and when that's up, it's the
- 52:45Speaker 1: next day. It's not the same day anymore. And everybody
- 52:50Speaker 1: needs pretty close to the same amount of sleep, the
- 52:53Speaker 1: same amount of food, and time to eat, time down,
- 52:58Speaker 1: time from working. The only difference between people is you
- 53:06Speaker 1: know how much of that placeholder they can command for
- 53:12Speaker 1: the labor that they do during their non downtime during
- 53:17Speaker 1: their uptime, And that depends on a whole set of factors.
- 53:21Speaker 1: How difficult your labor is, how dangerous it is, how
- 53:24Speaker 1: many people can do it, how badly people need it
- 53:27Speaker 1: to be done. More people are willing to give you
- 53:31Speaker 1: more placeholder for your labor if most people aren't smart
- 53:38Speaker 1: enough to do that labor, and they have to pay
- 53:41Speaker 1: you because there isn't somebody else to do it. Or
- 53:44Speaker 1: most people aren't tough enough to do your labor, so
- 53:47Speaker 1: they have to pay you because there isn't somebody else
- 53:49Speaker 1: to do it, or it's too gary or too dirty
- 53:57Speaker 1: and they just don't want it. They'd really rather you
- 54:00Speaker 1: do that, or if it took you a long time
- 54:03Speaker 1: to learn how to do it, and things like that,
- 54:07Speaker 1: And of course, how much other people's labor you have
- 54:12Speaker 1: to invest in to get the materials you need to
- 54:15Speaker 1: do your labor factors and things like that. Right, how
- 54:18Speaker 1: much it costs other people and how much you end
- 54:20Speaker 1: up with at the end of the day depends on
- 54:23Speaker 1: the wisdom of your labor choices and your capacity for trade.
- 54:30Speaker 1: And that's it. It's that simple when it comes to
- 54:35Speaker 1: how much money people end up with. But the other
- 54:38Speaker 1: thing is, because that's all it is, it's a placeholder.
- 54:43Speaker 1: And when you when you spend that placeholder, what you
- 54:48Speaker 1: are doing is you are paying for other people's time
- 54:51Speaker 1: to do things that you don't want to spend your
- 54:54Speaker 1: time doing. I pay farmers to grow my food by
- 55:00Speaker 1: giving my money to the grocery store for that food,
- 55:02Speaker 1: knowing the grocery store is going to give it to
- 55:04Speaker 1: the distributors who are going to give it to the farmers, right,
- 55:09Speaker 1: And that's the way that works. And obviously that's a
- 55:13Speaker 1: little oversimplified. There's a lot more midtlemen than that. And
- 55:17Speaker 1: sure I could grow my own food, but I can
- 55:23Speaker 1: have more placeholder value from my labor if I pay
- 55:30Speaker 1: somebody else to do that and focus on the labor
- 55:33Speaker 1: I do, and then I can also spend that placeholder
- 55:36Speaker 1: money for other things that I don't want to spend
- 55:38Speaker 1: time on. I don't want to spend time sewing my
- 55:40Speaker 1: own clothes. I don't want to build. Well, I kind
- 55:42Speaker 1: of do want to build my own car, but that's
- 55:44Speaker 1: the whole whole different story. I really can't build my
- 55:47Speaker 1: own car and do the other things I want to do.
- 55:50Speaker 6: You have an ambulance, you don't need a call.
- 55:55Speaker 1: We did just purchase a decommissioned ambulance. But if you
- 55:58Speaker 1: want to learn more about that, you need to go
- 56:01Speaker 1: to Feed the Badger and find out how to join
- 56:08Speaker 1: in on the Patreon only after shows for HBr talk,
- 56:12Speaker 1: where I where I spend much more time talking about
- 56:15Speaker 1: the ambulance. But if you want to know a little
- 56:18Speaker 1: bit about the United States, that ambulance came from Kansas,
- 56:23Speaker 1: so the first thing we had to do is replace
- 56:26Speaker 1: the windshield. But in any case, yeah, I still it
- 56:33Speaker 1: would still be really fascinating to build my own car,
- 56:37Speaker 1: but I don't know that I would be that I
- 56:41Speaker 1: have the skill and the talent necessary to make it
- 56:44Speaker 1: street worthy. And the whole point would be to have
- 56:47Speaker 1: something that I built that I could drive. And if
- 56:52Speaker 1: that's not going to happen, then I would be wasting
- 56:56Speaker 1: my placeholder earning capacity doing that. So yeah, essentially, if
- 57:05Speaker 1: you don't want to be like, as David lot Boy
- 57:08Speaker 1: pointed out, a neolithic sub subsistence farmer, you used placeholder
- 57:14Speaker 1: or money to pay for other people's time and other
- 57:18Speaker 1: people's labor, other people's expertise, other people's intelligence and so on,
- 57:26Speaker 1: other people's wisdom. But your so called betters that want
- 57:33Speaker 1: you to become part of a communist system want you
- 57:38Speaker 1: to believe that that is a bad way of doing things,
- 57:43Speaker 1: that it's theft if you voluntarily trade your labor to
- 57:50Speaker 1: get placeholder money placeholder currency for your time, your labor,
- 57:56Speaker 1: your intelligence, your wisdom, and so on expertise, and then
- 58:01Speaker 1: spend some of it to get a variety of different
- 58:04Speaker 1: things that you wouldn't have time to do for yourself
- 58:08Speaker 1: in a given day, and your life is easier. That's theft.
- 58:13Speaker 1: You're being ripped off, and you're ripping other people off.
- 58:16Speaker 1: According to these folks, they hate that, but in the meantime, yeah,
- 58:22Speaker 1: they do it. And most of the time, the people
- 58:28Speaker 1: who are mad at you for that, for living that way,
- 58:32Speaker 1: not only do they live that way, but they live
- 58:33Speaker 1: that way so effectively that they have so optimized their
- 58:38Speaker 1: ability to obtain that placeholder that they have way way
- 58:43Speaker 1: more of it than is necessary to create sustainable, secure
- 58:50Speaker 1: living for them. They have disposable placeholder, and their disposable placeholder.
- 58:58Speaker 1: The way the economy works is if they hoard that
- 59:02Speaker 1: disposable placeholder, it takes away from every individual who is
- 59:09Speaker 1: trying to earn placeholder by selling things or services or
- 59:15Speaker 1: combination both. And so it isn't a bad thing when
- 59:22Speaker 1: one of them buys a gold toilet, because it gives
- 59:26Speaker 1: somebody else the opportunity to earn placeholder. By creating and
- 59:32Speaker 1: transporting and installing and maintaining a gold toilet, it gives
- 59:40Speaker 1: people the opportunity to earn placeholder. By mining gold gives
- 59:45Speaker 1: people the opportunity to earn placeholder by figuring out how
- 59:48Speaker 1: to make a toilet work even if it's made out
- 59:51Speaker 1: of a very very soft metal instead of porcelain, which
- 59:59Speaker 1: seems like it would be problematic to me, but to
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: each their own. Also, can you imagine sitting on that
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: in New York during a nor'easter?
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: That thing's got to be cold.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: They need to have like a heater a toilet keep
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: your ass from freezing to the toilet. I don't like
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: sitting on porcelain in Ohio in the autumn, so like,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: come on, guys. But yeah, the idea that that there's
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: some immorality toward having that placeholder for for your your
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: labor and your time spent and your expertise, and and
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: how necessary what you're doing is, and how hard it
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: is to get somebody else to do it and so on,
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: so that you can diversify your ability to get things
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: and get services from other people, so that you don't
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: have to do everything yourself for yourself, and you actually
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: have downtime, which is something that you know, the Neolithic
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: subsistence farmers did not have downtime. Okay, they worked all
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: day and they slept all night, and they got up
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: the next day and they worked all day again, very
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: little downtime. You get to read a book. If books
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: had existed, they didn't, they wouldn't wouldn't have had to
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: You get to go. You could. You could be an
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: entertainer for a living if you're good at it. And
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: very very few people can say that. But fewer can
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: say that in an environment where people have to do
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: everything for themselves and nobody has time for entertainment.
- 1:01:53Speaker 6: We were starting to dread a certain future when people
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: rely on AI for their information. But once upon a time,
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: nobody had books and they relied entirely on oral information.
- 1:02:09Speaker 6: They just talked to each other like they didn't have
- 1:02:14Speaker 6: to remember all these graphic symbols on these pieces of
- 1:02:19Speaker 6: pulped wood, and they were really really good at talking
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: to each other because that was the only kind of
- 1:02:26Speaker 6: communication they had.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Had.
- 1:02:30Speaker 6: People often assumed that people in the past were really stupid,
- 1:02:35Speaker 6: but in all likelihood they were extremely orally efficient. Now
- 1:02:45Speaker 6: that sounds like an innuendo, but it's not. I mean,
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: they were, they were, They were. They were probably much
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: better at talking than we are.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Because besides begin in your endo, uh yeah, well, and
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: and then that is the point, like you would be
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: better at the things that you had to do. It's
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: just that you would only have time for the things
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: that you had to do. Now we have time for
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: things we want to do, right, Yeah, and and yeah,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Richard Bierre says, it's probably gilded porcelain. I hope so, okay,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: because can you imagine how much that sucker would weigh.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Imagine being the being the guy that has to, uh,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: you know, handle the transfer of that from from uh,
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: you know, the manufacturing system to the truck. You handle
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: the forklift like you got to hope that it doesn't
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: counterbalance the forklift. Gold is heavy, It's incredibly heavy. But
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: but yeah, so I mean, this is this is why
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: you should be suspicious of the elites, right they tell
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: you it's immoral and your being taken advantage of when
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: you engage in a system that actually creates luxury for you.
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: And in this country, in my country, and in Laurence country,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: we can have simultaneous designation of poverty where we're we're
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: labeled poor by our government and by the rest of
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: society and have not only enough clothing to wear, enough
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: food to eat, a roof over your head, shoes. Where
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: there are places in the world where if your poor
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: shoes are not a thing in your home. You don't
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: have shoes if you don't make them yourself. Right, But
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: you can have a car and be considered poor. You
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: can have an entertainment system your house, a television, a
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: video game system, and be considered poor be eligible for
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: public assistance. You can have pets animals living with you
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: that you're not going to eat and that don't do
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: any work and be considered poor. You could pay for
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: their food and afford your own food and buy drugs
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: or cigarettes which are technically drugs. Coffee is a drug alcohol.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: You can have money for those things and still be
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: considered poor. You can have a heat in your house
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: from a utility system, you don't have to burn stuff
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: to eat your house, and be still be considered poor.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Right in our first world nation, our line for poverty
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: is so much higher because we have that placeholder and
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: a system designed around using that placeholder instead of straight
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: up trade or doing everything yourself. But yet you're being
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: told that the existence of that the fact that it
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: gets used to pay for your labor, and that an
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: investor can make money off of the money that they've
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: invested without adding labor to it because they have purchased
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: so much labor and so on that that's somehow immoral,
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: when it is that system that has raised the overall
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: economy by putting money back into the economy and creating
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: more ways that different people can use their labor, their expertise,
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: their skills, their talents, their intelligence, their wisdom, their creativity,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: their their character to gain placeholder without being limited to
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: a small set of of of of methods for obtaining it.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: And then they can they can choose from a broad
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: variety of ways to spend that placeholder to get conditions, services, items,
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: and so on that they want in their lives. It's
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: it's you're a victim of that, guys. You're a victim
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: of that luxury, that plentiful situation. You're a victim of
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: being part of a nation so wealthy that you can live,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: you can have living conditions that would be considered wealthy
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: in poor countries and be considered poor in this country.
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: Just think about that. That's I mean to be told that,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: and to be told that you would be better off
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: if the entire country were stripped of that system, so
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: that it was like the third world country where poverty
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: means not having enough to eat, not having shoes, not
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: having a roof over your head, not having heat, not
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: having a cool environment to go into in the summertime,
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: like air conditioning. First world problems. Really poor countries, yeah,
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Richard be Air points out, really poor has no toilets
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: in a country, a third world country that doesn't have
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: indoor plumbing. People think you're poor now if you don't
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: have an internet connection in your home, or if the
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: internet connections in your area are not incredibly reliable, if
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: you don't have five g I remember when you used
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: to be poor, if you were still in a party line.
- 1:09:00Speaker 6: When you were poor, when you didn't have satellite television.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep. I remember when you were poor, if
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: you didn't have a second car. You can be now
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: poor people have multiple junk cars in their yard. But yeah,
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: so this is my point here is these people lie
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: to you about the most fundamental things. They tell you
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: that you are a victim of things that you benefit from,
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: and that they want to rescue you from those things
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: so that you can benefit from what real poverty is
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: like in third world countries, because that would be better
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: for you. Meredith g gave us five dollars, is said HBr
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: talk three eighty two. Honey for the Badgers, The BS
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: about democratic reform is like declaration of sentiment. Congressional leadership
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: already control campaign funding to the point where that when
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: a favor candidate loses a primary, the party will literally
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: demand the winner, fire all the people who help the
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: winner get through the primary, and hire the consultants that
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: will cause them to lose in general. The more you know, well,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: or they do what the Democrats did when they wanted
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Hillary run and or or was it Biden and Bernie
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: Sanders actually won the primary and they put their candidate
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: in instead. Anyway, they like, no, we don't want Bernie Sanders.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: We want because Bernie is more openly socialistic, whereas Biden
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: and Hillary tried to at least be semi covert in
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: their socialism. They were the same. All three of those
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: candidates were the same. Kamala Harris was the same. They
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: all have the same goals. Bernie doesn't know how to
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: shut up about them, he says the quiet part out loud.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: Last independent thinker says, I grew up in a town
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: or with no town water, only tank water, and what
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: was trucked in no hot water, and we still had
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: those wind up phones that went to the exchange. Yeah,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: the ones you see in the old movies where they
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: have to crank it to make it work. My dad's
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: house when he was young, had something called a cistern.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: Not to be confused with brethren, they are not the same.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: A cistern is a big tank like what last independent
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: was talking about, and it catches rain water and you
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: use it for gray water. So you wash dishes with it,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: you wash your clothes with it. You might even shower
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: with it. They did, and you know it comes through
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: if you don't have a means of heating it. It's cold,
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: you get a cold shower, you get you wash your
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: clothes and cold water. You wash your dishes in cold water.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: And your your cleaning method is your soap, which a
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: lot of times was lie soap, so it's a lot
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: more harsh than the soap that you're using today. And
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: I had friends growing up that they bought water for
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: drinking because they're on their farms. All they had was
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: well water. If something happens to your well, you're fucked.
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: If you want, you know, to do laundry, you haul
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: up some well water. If you, you know, and they
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: some of them had cisterns so that they could catch
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: rain water for stuff like that. And if it didn't
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: rain for a long time you didn't have water and sistern,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: you couldn't use it. You know, you had to you
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: had to haul up water from the well or you
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: had to buy water. You had to have it trucked in.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: You know, there are places that didn't have Like in
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: the city and in towns, you have gas lines so
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: you can get natural gas pipe to your house if
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: you want to run your furnace and your your water
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: heater and stuff like that. But out in the country
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: that wasn't necessarily the case until those systems were built.
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: There's there's probably still people that that don't have gas lines.
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: The apartment I live in, we don't have gas. Everything's
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: electric and uh. On one side, if the power goes out,
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: that means you have no heat. But on the other side,
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: your house doesn't blow up because they haven't been reading
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: the meter for six months and they don't know there's
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: a leak. You can't get a basement full of carbon
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: monoxide and and and a spark goes off in the
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: whole place. There have been multiple house explosions in Ohio
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: from that, and almost every single time you find out
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: they have, the gas company hasn't been reading the meter,
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: and if they had been, they would have known there
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: was a leak. But in a couple of those instances,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: the individual owner of the home had interfered with the
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: way that the the gas comes in to try to
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: bypass the meter. So it's not every single instance, right,
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: And yeah, out in the country, there's a lot of
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: pro paine. People might have a great big tank on
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: their farm and truck comes by and they subscribe essentially
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: to it. So yeah, there's a lot of people that
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: grew up without some of the privileges that were used
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: to like. But you can choose to move to city,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: you can choose to live on a farm, and we
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: have the luxury in this country of moving around and
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: nobody's going to stop us. They are parts of the
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: city that you don't want to live if you're the
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: wrong color. We do have that war going on, and
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: a lot of that is manufactured by these same people.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: But there isn't some law that says that if you
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: grew up on a farm in Nebraska that you can't
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: move to Omaha and you live with all the luxuries
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: you want that are available in a city, and there's
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: no law that says that if you grew up in
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: the middle of the city and you had all those luxuries,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: you can't give them up and go off grid out
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: the country either yet, but they're working on that part.
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: So what do they want to do. They want to
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: change your House of Representatives. So we just talked a
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: little bit about ago about how important it is that
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: they have that balance, that the individual voters. Representatives can't
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: just run roughshod over the states and the different local
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: cultures by imposing urban culture on the entire rural majority
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: of the country. And most of if you look at
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: the map of the United States and you look at
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: where the urban centers are versus where the rural population lives,
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of the land is rural, not urban.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: And there are a lot of things that can be
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: done at the local level in urban centers and can
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: be done the urban way without imposing the urban way
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: on farmers and small towns and villages and so on.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: But what they want to do is increase the size
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: of the House of Representatives. And they look they claim
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: that it's because the population has grown, but the fact
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: is it's uh, it's grown, you know, slowly over time,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: and they're wanting to make it sudden and they're not
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: going they're not wanting to balance that out with any
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: evolution to to ensure equal opportunity for the states. So
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: they're going to give a history of how the population
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: has expanded and the number of people per representative has grown.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: But at the same time, what they're omitting is the
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: fact that the reason that the representatives haven't grown is
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: because they're trying to keep the debate possible. You can
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: have a debate in a room full of a few
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: dozen people, a couple hundred people even, but you know,
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: if you triple the size of the House of Representatives,
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: it becomes harder and harder to debate, harder and harder
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: for them to interact with each other and make decisions
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: and come to agreements and so on, and you do
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: end up in is such where the proportion ends up
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: being like it was during that teacher union fight. So
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: what they're essentially trying to do is give the urban
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: populations the ability to override the rural populations in the
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: House of Representatives. Then the other thing that I wanted
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: to make sure that we talked about tonight is ranked
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: choice voting, which they want to do this. They want
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: to make this how the president is elected, how how
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: the House and Senate are elected, how your governor and
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: your state House and your state Senate are elected. They
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: want all those positions to be elected by ranked choice votings. Right,
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: So for people who don't know what that is, let's
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: let's see. I actually looked this up. It looks like
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: I close the tab. Okay, So essentially rank choice voting.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: What they do is, let's say you have six candidates
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: running for a political office, and then they'll say, all right,
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: you have the Democrats, the Republicans, the Green Party, the
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: Communist Party, which those are two versions of the same party,
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: which is the same as the Democrat Party. Everybody, it's
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: not Republican, it's pretty much communists. But you have you
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: have six different parties, you know, in any election, and annually,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: maybe forty some percent of the vote goes to the
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: favored party and thirty to forty percent of the vote
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: vote goes to the second choice, and the arrest is
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: divided by the other four candidates. And that happens almost
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: every year in the presidential elections, whereas in the smaller
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: elections you might see other parties. The Independent Party sometimes
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: get somebody in. Once in a blue moon you get
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: a communist or a Green Party person elected, and so on.
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: But imagine if you went to the poll and instead
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: of you voting for one person for president, you had
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: to state your top three choices, your first choice, your
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: second choice, your third choice, and the race is between
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: you know, somebody whose ideals fit yours perfectly, and five
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: people whose ideals have complete polar opposition to yours. Who's
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: your second choice? Who is your second choice in that situation?
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: And why is that important? Because in that election, then
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: when they go to count the votes, what they're going
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: to do is, if your first choice isn't the top choice,
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: it's the bottom choice, the bottom choice gets dumped. That
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: choice doesn't count. So now, maybe you voted for the
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: Green Party for whatever reason, right, your top choice just
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: got dumped. What's your second choice? Maybe you voted second
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: for the popular candidate, or maybe you voted second for
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: the candidate that got second place in a popular vote.
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: That candidate now gets your vote. They redistribute your vote
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: to that candidate because your candidate was guaranteed to lose.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: That makes sense. And then so in that process, it's
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: possible for enough people, like if you have this top
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: six and maybe the bottom three all end up getting
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: getting eliminated because almost nobody voted for them. All those
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: votes get redistributed, and maybe that bottom three all liked
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: the second place candidate. If the race is close, that
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: can push the second place candidate to the first place,
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: and that person can win even though in the popular
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: vote the other person was the first choice of most people.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: Then the other thing is if you know your ballot,
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: if you all you vote for is your favorite candidate
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: and you don't have a second choice, or your second
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: and your third choices all got eliminated, your ballot just
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: isn't counted. All nobody hears how many people voted for
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: your candidate. So there's been some criticisms of this, one
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: of which is that it can result in a lot
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: of people's votes just getting dumped. So for instance, that
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: like the spoiler effect happened. I want to say there
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: have been a couple of places where it's been a problem.
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: There you go, New York twenty twenty one Democratic mayoral primary,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: nearly fifteen percent of ballots, about one hundred and forty
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: thousand were eliminated, were exhausted, exhausted. In Mainz twenty eighteen
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: congressional race, eight thousand were discarded. One San Francisco race,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: more ballots were discarded than counted. Literally, they threw out
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: more votes than they counted. So what does that do?
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: It gives the establishment control over who gets elected. Essentially,
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: it creates it.
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: As if they didn't already have it.
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it it opens a pathway for them to cheat.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: In Alaska's twenty two twenty twenty two special election, Republican
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: candidates received sixty percent of first round votes, yet a
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: Democrat one after redistribution. So this isn't a more accurate
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: way of voting. It isn't a better way of letting
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: the people decide who is going to be their leader.
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: What it is is a way for the elite to
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: disguise vote manipulation. It provides cover for vote manipulation. The
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: complexity of the system makes audits damn near impossible, creates
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: the risk that they can hide vote manipulation undetected errors,
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: like in an Oklahoma school board election, a programming error
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: totally just a mistake guys led to the wrong candidate
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: being declared the winner. It doesn't eliminate the spoiler effect,
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: may even exacerbate it, right make it worse. Where voters
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: rank a less perverse preferred but more viable candidate hire
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: to avoid helping their least favored candidate win. So they
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: like you say, you you're looking at Trump versus Hillary
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: and five other candidates. You might make one of those
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: other candidates a higher rank because you think Trump or
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: Hillary is the most evil person in the world. Whichever
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: one you hate, you know, is the most evil person
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: in the world, and you just cannot abide the idea
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: that they might win Hillary.
- 1:27:38Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, just I'm chasting my vote now.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I see, I vote no on this. I think
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: we shouldn't do this. Well no, yeah, But so five
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: states have made this type of system actually illegal out
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: of the fifty, ten percent of the states has already
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: outlawed this, citing multiple concerns that there's quite a bit
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: of leeway for error and manipulation in this. This is
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: one of the things that they want to do. They
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: want to make sure that you have the least possible
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: opportunity of evaluating whether or not the election was run fairly,
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: because you know, the last eight years, what we discovered
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: was when the election is run fairly, the people's choice
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: turns out to be different than the establishment's choice. And
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: when the establishment manipulates the election to cure that problem,
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: to heal the system so that they get their choice
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: in their minds, they're fixing democracy. People get upset because
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: they can tell that their say was overridden and and
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: they they act up, they protest, and you can't have that.
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: You can't have people getting mad that you told them
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: you were going to listen to them and then you didn't.
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: So you have to hide the fact that you're not listening,
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: and you have to not listen more sneakily, Yes, this one.
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: This one's a little sneaky too. So essentially, if you're
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: in a more densely populated area, they want extra members,
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: whereas there are some districts that get a member even
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: though their population isn't big enough, which with the idea
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: being that there shouldn't be people who just aren't represented
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: at all, and there also shouldn't be population density shouldn't
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: give one small area a significant amount of control over
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: what happens in the rest of the country, because you
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: end up with a situation where the people of some
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: section of a city get to vote that the people
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: of some other state have to give up income from,
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: say the oil that's under their state to fund free
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: housing for the people of that city. We just want
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: a profiteer off of these people's labor. We're going to
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: vote for that, and they shouldn't be able to override
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: us because there's more of us than there are of them.
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: Amend or repeal and replace the nineteen sixties having the
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: law that mandates single member districts for the House, So yeah,
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: what they want multiple member districts. Yeah, support adoption through
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: state legislation of independent citizen redistricting commissions in all fifty states.
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: So essentially what they want there, And this is something
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: that's been talked about in Texas recently too. Right now
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: there's a process for gerrymandering that allows the parties their
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: say through a system that gives the government input. What
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: they want to do is take citizens claim to be
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: independent and put them in charge. So you know, we'll
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: take your word for it that you're not biased toward
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat, or perhaps we'll take five Republicans and
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: five Democrats and five people who are not affiliated with
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: either party. But notice there's like six different prominent political
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: parties in the country. Where's the other representation? So it's
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: just not really changing anything. It's just taking it from
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: the existing model to a new gerrymandering model that there's
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: less oversight and quite a bit more ability to hide
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: one's biases in this time, they're going to provide federal
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: funding for these processes. Instead of allowing, say you to
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: elect people to do it, They're just going to appoint people.
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: And guess who gets to appoint them? By the way,
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: do you think do you think maybe the public gets
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: to elect those people?
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: No?
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: Of course not, of course not my god.
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: Yeah, Amend the Constitution to authorize the regulation of election
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: contributions and spending, to eliminate undue influence of money in
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: our political system, and to protect the rights of all
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: Americans to free speech, political participation, and meaningful representation in government.
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: Sounds good again when they say it, right, but what
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: they're talking about. I believe the bill was McCain, feineld
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: or Einstein. I think it was Feinstein, Diane Feinstein and
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: John McCain introduced this bill that limited individual contributions and
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: limited group contributions. So it was intended, according to them,
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: to keep Bill Gates from buying an election by just
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: funneling a bunch of money into a candidate's It was fine,
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: gold I was wrong, okay, but to h to keep
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: you know, like somebody like Bill Gates from just funneling
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: a bunch of money into somebody's campaign, right.
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: Or George Soros?
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: Soros? Right?
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: They know, Actually this is just so fucking backwards.
- 1:34:54Speaker 8: What it does is give them or or allow them
- 1:34:58Speaker 8: to find different ways to actually do the thing that
- 1:35:01Speaker 8: they say that they're not supposed to do.
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: You know, yep, it's it's just unbelievable.
- 1:35:09Speaker 8: And nobody bats an eye when the people like George
- 1:35:15Speaker 8: Soros will do something like this.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: But we sent Denish Dasuza went to jail for what
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: was it?
- 1:35:25Speaker 8: It was some stupid amount like like some not a
- 1:35:29Speaker 8: huge amount of money that he donated and he went
- 1:35:34Speaker 8: to jail, you know, and and listen, listen, If the
- 1:35:39Speaker 8: laws are the laws, I'm fine with that being the law.
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: However, when they just look.
- 1:35:46Speaker 8: The other way when the other side does it, it.
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: Just it drives me insane.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: I like when Rosie O'donnald did it? Yes, yeah, because
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: every time she got nervous, she voted to or she
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: donated to the Democrat Party some like. But the reality
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: is that there are different ways that people do this. Right,
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: So you have rich guys like Bill Gates or George
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: Soros or any other rich guy. Donald Trump might donate
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: to a candidate. Okay, they're donating, but some farm co
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: op in Ohio can all get together as a group,
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: raise money and donate. You're if you're in a workplace
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: that has a union, your union donates. It takes In fact,
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: they donate from the money that you pay as dues,
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: and even if you opt out, you know they the
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: way they handle that is more of your money goes
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: to pay for operations, and they cut the amount of
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: money that other people are paying for operations, and they
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: still send the candidate the same amount of money. So
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: they just say which money is going where? And technically,
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: on paper, they haven't taken your money out of your
- 1:37:08Speaker 1: pocket and donated to a candidate that's going to vote
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: against your interests. But in reality they have right. And
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: so when they talk about campaign finance and they focus
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: on individual donors. What they are essentially doing is preventing
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: people who have the ability to increase their income and
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: work together as donors from counteracting union donations and other
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: big organizational donations. But if they focus on those big
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: organizational donations donations, then they also go after the farming
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: co ops and so on. If they stayed out of it,
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: and all they do is say, all right, you have
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: to disclose whose donations paid for what and how much
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: you accepted from whom, and and leave it at that,
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: and you have to make it public. So say, ninety
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: percent of Candidate a's campaign money has come from George Soros,
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: and ninety percent of Candidate b's campaign money came from
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: the a f L c IO. You know, ninety percent
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: of candidate ces money came from individual donors donating their
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: drops in a bucket until they filled the bucket. You know,
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: it gives you an idea as a voter what the
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: candidate's financially motivated biases are. Who's who are they beholden to?
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: And uh, you know, if you if you're going to
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: pick somebody and you feel like, you know, if your
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: only two choices are George Soros versus a FL Cio.
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: You know, like, all right, I'm voting for the Union
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: in that one, and I'm like Soros, I don't trust him.
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: I know what he's thinking, and I don't want that. Right,
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: the union's a lesser of two evils. But if you
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: have big organization like a union, rich guy, and the
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: general public, you know, then I'm thinking, you know, maybe
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: the guy who's going to be biased more toward the
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: general public is my guy, and so that that would
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: influence people's vote. But instead, what they want is to
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: control the candidate's ability to buy advertising by saying, well, well,
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: you know you can't donate. You can't. You can't give
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: this candidate money, even if everybody knows you did it,
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: even if even if it's going to be a public thing,
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: you still can't do it. You don't get to have
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: yours say you can't support putting signs in people's yards
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: and buying thirty second spaces on advertising platforms, so that
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: the candidate can say, this is what I'm going to
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: do when I get into office. So what happens Soros
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: doesn't suffer. What can he do? He can create a
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: website or a whole bunch of websites, whole bunch of
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: little sub organizations, and those organizations can then give money
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: to other organizations, and those organizations can arrange riots in
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: cities all over the country in protests of the candidate
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: he doesn't like.
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: Exactly how this pile of bricks get here? Oh my god. Yeah,
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: it's just unbelievable, you know.
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: And because there's no receipt tracing that pile of bricks
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: directly to George Sorows, he has plausible deniability. No, No,
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: this is the people expressing their opinion. Nobody paid these protesters.
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: It's what they really think. A lot of people hate
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: Trump and they're very angry that he won. Yeah, how
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: the fuck did he win? Then? Right, why didn't they
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: vote against him? No, we have to to make sure
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: that Americans cannot participate in the political system by putting
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: their money where their mouth is. Yep. George Torros can
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: also fund organizations that fund organizations that then pay people
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: to go all over Ohio and get signatures on petitions
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: to put abortion into our constitution and then hold an
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: election after getting it changed so that they barely need
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: a majority to make it a constitutional amendment that abortion
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: must always be legal in Ohio. Which he did, and
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: they did and they won, and it is now a
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: constitutional amendment in Ohio that abortion will always be legal here.
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: Ohio will not prosecute abortion clinics or their owners, or
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: their clinicians or anybody involved for providing abortion. Even if
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: there's in the future of fal law that outlaws it,
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: the Feds would have to go after those people because
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: Ohio can't. Even if there's something that happens in the
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: future where they conclusively prove find a way to communicate
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: with fetuses in gestation and conclusively prove that the abortion
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: advocates are lying about how the brain develops in gestation,
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: Ohio still can't do anything about it because it's in
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: our constitution. So yeah, we can. We have less power
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: under the laws that these people want to support candidates directly,
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: but rich people can still manipulate our political system. They
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: just do it without direct support. What else they want
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: to do? Campaign finance to disclosure laws? All right, So
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: that I am for campaign finance disclosure laws. The one thing,
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: the one caveat is that they should have it should
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: be a higher penalty if you're caught attacking someone for
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: donating to a campaign. Then if you just burglarize them
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: on the street. Because you're you're violating two things. You're
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: violating that individual's right, and you're also violating the American
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: principle of free elections. So you're engaging in election interference.
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: If you're caught trying to intimidate voters by using any
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: type type of like violence, threat to their employment status,
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: any type of public shaming. Oh, this person supported this candidate,
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: We're going to publish it in the local newspaper and
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: embarrass them. We're going to shame them for it. We're
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: going to pressure their employer to fire them, pressure their
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: school to kick them out, pressure whatever socially isolate them,
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: you know, any such thing. Any measures you take to
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: punish someone for supporting a candidate should be punishable under
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: the law. Like yep, yep. They can't hide the fact
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: that they did it. Nope, you can't punish them for
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: it because it's supposed to be a free and fair election.
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: You don't have to agree with them, but you're not
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: allowed to take away their right to do that.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that.
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: We should all know that's but they won't do that.
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: They'll they'll pass those disclosure laws, but then they'll turn
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: around and say, well, you know, free speech has consequences.
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: If you donate to Donald Trump and somebody comes to
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: your house and burns it down, that's just a consequence. Yeah,
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't have donated.
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: Upside down situation we are in right now.
- 1:46:27Speaker 1: There's another thing too. Fred's part of the retail union.
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: I can't remember what it's called. Fred works at, I
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: don't know CVS, And CVS is a unionized company. So
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: the union that that Fred has to pay membership dues to,
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: that union supports the Democrat candidate. And Fred's name gets
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: attacked to that. But Fred is a registered Republican, been
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: a registered Republican all his life, votes Republican, and personally
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: wants to donate money to a Republican candidate. Does he
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: face on the job discrimination when that comes out? Does
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: the state try to stop him because he's already donated
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: to a Democrat? You know, how does that work? So,
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: like these laws need to be they need to have
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: a level of complexity that prevents penalizing citizens who are
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: participating in the process, and that stops the state and
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: the unions and any other organizational donors like besides the unions,
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: because They're not the only ones. Any other authoritative controllers
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: of the lives of people, like whether or not you
- 1:48:01Speaker 1: have access to a job, whether or not you have
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: access to a school, whether or not you have access
- 1:48:06Speaker 1: to public services, and so on, from applying penalties because
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: you donated, or forcing you to donate against your will,
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: or any other such behavior, preventing you from donating to
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: who you want to donate to because the organization that
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: you're part of donated against your interests. Imagine that needs
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: to be part of it.
- 1:48:31Speaker 8: Imagine if they did anything like this with donating to
- 1:48:35Speaker 8: like churches, right, the people would be in an uproar,
- 1:48:40Speaker 8: an absolute fucking uproar.
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: You bet you.
- 1:48:45Speaker 8: It's just it's amazing that these people are even have
- 1:48:51Speaker 8: the audacity to.
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: Say that this is something that they want to implement.
- 1:48:57Speaker 8: I mean, I wish more people paid attention to politics,
- 1:49:03Speaker 8: because then they would realize this.
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: For what it is and shut it down. You know,
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: that is ridiculous.
- 1:49:13Speaker 8: You do not I go to work forty hours a week,
- 1:49:17Speaker 8: I earn my money. You do not get to tell
- 1:49:20Speaker 8: me where I can and cannot spend that money. You know,
- 1:49:25Speaker 8: and if I want to donate to a certain campaign.
- 1:49:30Speaker 8: Then number one, it's none of your business, you know.
- 1:49:34Speaker 8: Number two, it should have no bearing on my employment
- 1:49:39Speaker 8: or anything anything.
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: It shouldn't.
- 1:49:42Speaker 8: It shouldn't, you know, negate me from society because you
- 1:49:47Speaker 8: don't like where I put my money towards.
- 1:49:51Speaker 6: You know.
- 1:49:53Speaker 8: It's just it's mind blowing. It's mind blowing that more
- 1:49:57Speaker 8: people are not paying attention to this and it is
- 1:50:04Speaker 8: and saying something about it, you know, and and pushing
- 1:50:07Speaker 8: back against this because it's it's it's ridiculous. I say
- 1:50:11Speaker 8: ridiculous all the time. It's disgusting. I say disgusting all
- 1:50:14Speaker 8: the time. But it is all of those things.
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: It is, it really is. So what we what we've
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: seen here so far. They want to control the elected
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: bodies that decide the laws, right uh. They want to
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: make it so that they can they can stack the uh,
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: the House of Representatives in their favor and in the
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: favor of urban areas, places where they can more easily
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: control the school systems, more easily create a level of uh,
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: lack of information among the voters, and and so on.
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: Not that all urban voters are ignorant. You just have
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: to work harder to overcome what what government controlled information
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: systems are doing to you. It puts, it takes effort.
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: It takes more effort two not be ignorant in the
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: city than it does to not be ignorant in the country.
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: You would think the opposite would be true, right, Uh,
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: based just based on per capita access to local libraries
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: from walking distance from your home. But that's not the case,
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: you know. So they want to control that. They want
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: to control funding and which directly controls communications from from
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: your your representatives. They want to control how you vote,
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: like the method by which you vote and and therefore
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: make it more easily controllable what the outcome of the
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: election is. They want to insist on controlling how you
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: support your candidates. And now they're talking about passing clean
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: quote clean election laws for federal, state local elections through
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: mechanisms such as public matching donation systems and democracy vouchers,
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: which amplify the power of small donors. So if their
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: candidate isn't getting the money in support that they think
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: their candidate should have, they want to use the tax
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: dollars of people who donated to their opponents to give
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: them equal communication power. God, So let's.
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: Say, how is this democracy again?
- 1:52:57Speaker 1: Yeah? Let's say you have a candidate like Trump, with
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: the popularity of Elvis, but who isn't necessarily as polarizing
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: as as Trump. And it's it's not that Trump himself
- 1:53:16Speaker 1: is polarizing. It is that the media's attitude toward him
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: has been. But let's say, let's say that doesn't happen,
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: that that the media fails at polarizing the country in
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: regard to this candidate. This is this is the Elvis
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: of candidates, the Michael Jackson of candidates, right, and and
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: so this individual gets a huge amount of campaign donations
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: from individual voters, all donating the max that they can afford,
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: and within the law that they're allowed. Organizations that would
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: normally donate to the establishment candidate, they donate to this
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: can because the candidate speaks to their interests and so on.
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: And the candidate has a significant war chest as a result,
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: and the other candidate can't build a war chest because
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: nobody likes him and nobody wants to donate any money
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: to him. All the people who donated already, they've already
- 1:54:21Speaker 1: given money to the candidate they support. Along comes on
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: Uncle Sam and says, whoa WHOA, wait a minute, Well,
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: I've got money that you gave me, and I'm going
- 1:54:31Speaker 1: to counteract your donations by giving some of your money
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: that you gave me, you know, gave as in I
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: came to you and said, if you don't give me
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: this money, I'm going to pull out a gun and
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: shoot you with it gave me. I'm gonna give it
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: to the candidate you don't like and didn't donate to.
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: Is that in the interest of the voters.
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: Of course not, well, not.
- 1:55:00Speaker 8: The voters who would vote for their candidates.
- 1:55:08Speaker 3: Is just.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: My god.
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: If we're going to override this candidate's popularity by taking
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: skimming off the top of what we have told people,
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: we're going to spend building roads for them, JESU pize
- 1:55:30Speaker 1: democracy vouchers. Citizens receive campaign donation vouchers that they can
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: give to their preferred candidate and be redeemed as cash.
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: So at least that one. You know, they're pretending that
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: they're putting control over it in the hands of the people, right,
- 1:55:48Speaker 1: except why can't you donate your own money?
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: Yeah, So again, it's it's giving people the ability to
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: override the donations of other people. We're gonna just take
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: their money, give it to you and then you can
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: donate it to who you want. Or they want the
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: government to just fully control financing of campaigns, so no
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: campaign donations from the public. Both candidates get an equal
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: war chest from the taxpayers, and it doesn't matter if
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: one of them is lying, because there's no truth in
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: advertising laws for campaigns, So if your candidate falsely advertises something,
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: there's no you don't have any recourse as a consumer,
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: as a voter.
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: So much democracy, it's wonderful. And this is why we
- 1:56:55Speaker 2: don't fucking live in a democracy. We live in a republic.
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: Yeah, god, now.
- 1:57:02Speaker 8: Why can't they Well, it's not why they can't understand this.
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: They do understand this.
- 1:57:08Speaker 8: They just want to circumvent the rules to get their
- 1:57:15Speaker 8: people in.
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: Oh my god. Then we want what were they gonna
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: do term limits for Supreme Court justices? Why not because
- 1:57:30Speaker 1: they're doing a bad job in their old age, not
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: because they become outdated, right, the Constitution is not something
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: that gets outdated, but because they want they don't want
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: a situation where when president gets to appoint multiple judges,
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: even though there are checks and balances on how that
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: appointment takes place. They don't want a situation where a
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: judge they don't like is in there for a lifetime
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: they don't want. Uh. Essentially, the people's choices of who
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: you know, gets in there by based on who they
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: choose to potentially appoint. Like when we voted for Trump,
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: we all knew that there was this possibility that he
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: might be appointing multiple judges. That wasn't a mystery, Like,
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: it wasn't shocked and a surprise. In fact, many of
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: us were hoping for it.
- 1:58:31Speaker 8: I mean, but meanwhile, Joe Biden gets to sit in
- 1:58:35Speaker 8: Congress for.
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: Half a century. This has been but oh no, no, no, no.
- 1:58:43Speaker 8: It's the judges, the people who actually study the laws
- 1:58:47Speaker 8: of this country and know what the hell they're talking
- 1:58:50Speaker 8: about and have to pass convolution. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no,
- 1:58:55Speaker 8: they can't be around because some of them might, you know,
- 1:59:00Speaker 8: rule in a.
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: Way that I don't like it.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Come on on, you know, I think should have term limits.
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: Who bureaucrats in the government.
- 1:59:12Speaker 6: Does Mitch mccuttal still have a job? Miss much mcuttal
- 1:59:15Speaker 6: is still employed in the federal government?
- 1:59:17Speaker 2: Is he still alive?
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: There's two types of term limits I'd introduced. One of
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: them is if you are a bureaucrat in a government
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: department or agency or office. You get a limited number
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: of years and then you you have to go back
- 1:59:37Speaker 1: to the public sector, the private sector whatever. That's the
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: first one. The second one is if you've served out
- 1:59:45Speaker 1: your full term as a as a bureaucrat, you cannot then,
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: you know, become run for office and become congressman or
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: senator or president or anything like that until there's been
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: a period of time in between your government service and
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: your time in office, and you can't go from being
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: the CEO of Pfizer or some other high ranking official
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: at Pfizer and then become a bureaucrat at the Food
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: and Drug Administration.
- 2:00:28Speaker 8: Oh my god, this swap is unbelievable, the amount of
- 2:00:33Speaker 8: times these people just change positions from one company to
- 2:00:38Speaker 8: another and then into the government.
- 2:00:40Speaker 6: Yep, how long was that was Nazi wants a face
- 2:00:49Speaker 6: that's supplus in the government. It was something like fifty years,
- 2:00:52Speaker 6: wasn't it. Fucking John Kennedy days. Imagine if she had
- 2:00:58Speaker 6: term limits, if she to fuck off after eight years,
- 2:01:02Speaker 6: imagine how much bullshit you wouldn't have had to go
- 2:01:05Speaker 6: had to had to go through.
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: Although at least she had to run for office at least,
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: which like the head of the Food and Drug Administration doesn't. Yeah,
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: and it's not just that the people in various offices
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: within the Food and Drug Administration that control how your
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: business operates in relation to the government, what rules apply,
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: what rules are enforced, and so on, they don't have
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: to They don't have to run for office. Nobody votes
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: for them.
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: Mhm.
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: Right there. The public doesn't even get told how they're
- 2:01:44Speaker 1: doing their jobs. And it that goes all the way
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: down to local bureaucracy. By the way, there was a
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: company that I worked for that started having a kitchen
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: and uh so some food assembly service. Essentially I used
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: a turbo chef oven, which is a glorified microwave oven
- 2:02:08Speaker 1: that also has conventional oven heat. It's got a five
- 2:02:13Speaker 1: hundred gree temperature and it also has convection heat, which
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: means the heat is moved using air currents inside to
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: ensure that it'll be be balanced throughout the inside of
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: the and then microwaves are also used to speed up
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: the heating process. And all you do is you put
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: the filling of a sandwich, whatever type of meat you're
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: putting in, whether it's cheeseburgers, like the burger patties for cheeseburgers,
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: or the chicken patties for chicken sandwiches and stuff like that,
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: or pizzas or whatever you're cooking in there. You put
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: those in there for a short amount of time, and
- 2:02:54Speaker 1: you have pre programmed buttons to push, so it's not
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: real cooking. This button says pizza. You hit pizza, and
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: you hit how many are in there, and and it
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: does it automatically or as my husband likes to say, automagic,
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: and and then you pull them out and you have assembled.
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: You have to put the sandwich together, or you have
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: to put the pizza in the pizza box. It's really
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: you know, you a gas station employee can do this.
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: You don't have to be a chef. So it wasn't
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: anything fancy, right, but it still has to be clean
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: because even if you're irradiating the food, even if it's
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: being cooked in a five hundred degree environment, even if
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: it was already cooked once and you're cooking it a
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: second time, there is still ample opportunity for you to
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: introduce salmonella poisoning, listeria, botulism, all manner of nasty ass
- 2:03:50Speaker 1: things that you know nobody wants in their in their body,
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: and to avoid that, you have standards and practices that
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: that are known standards and practices to follow in order
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: to prevent bacteria from being introduced into the food and
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: bacteria from surviving on the food. It's the food poisoning
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: is kind of a numbers game. You just want to
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: make sure that there's not enough on there alive that
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: your body can't overcome it with your body's defenses. But
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes into They have figured out
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: a lot about how to prevent bacteria from getting into
- 2:04:35Speaker 1: your food. For instance, hand washing, just like in medicine,
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: and they have some very interesting stipulations like when you
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: wash your hands, you walk over to the sink, your
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: hands are dirty, and whatever is on your hands that
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: you don't want to get on things that you're going
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: to touch after you wash your hands is on there
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: when you turn on the faucet. So if you have
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: a faucet that you have to grab with your dirty
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: hands to turn it on, and then you wash your hands,
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: and then in order to turn off the water, you
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: have to grab that faucet that you just got dirty
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: with your dirty hands. You are now recontaminating your hands,
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: which kind of defeats the purpose of washing them, especially
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: if you just touched raw chicken, raw fish or something
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: like that, right, something that has salmonella, you know, or
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: lysteria or any other type of nasty germy death pitting
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: in it. And so the health department when they come
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: in and they look at your kitchen, they want to
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: see they want to see a hands free, a grip
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: free means of turning your faucets on. And it's nice
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: if you have something that just automatically turns on, but
- 2:05:51Speaker 1: if you have to have handles, you have to be
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: able to manipulate them with your arm, your wrist, your
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: elbow and not. You don't shouldn't have to have to
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: grab them with your hands to manipulate them. So usually
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: that means some the type that has a little wing
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: sticking off instead of a grip. And if you don't
- 2:06:13Speaker 1: have the right one, that's that's some points off of
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: your your score. They can suggest that, you know, you
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: really need to replace those, right, And there's a whole
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: bunch of little things like that. If you have a
- 2:06:27Speaker 1: freezer in there, it's gotta have wheels on the bottom,
- 2:06:29Speaker 1: because you've got to be able to move that freezer
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: so you can sweep and mop underneath and then put
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: it back, because otherwise you can get a build up
- 2:06:35Speaker 1: of of dust and dirt and that can get in
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: the food and all kinds of little things like that.
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: What types of gloves you have, how much hand sanitizer,
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: how available to hand sanitizer is, where it is in
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: relation to the food and the sink and so on,
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. What your personal protective equipment is,
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: every single thing there's you go in there. When they
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: come in there, they come in with a clipboard that
- 2:07:03Speaker 1: practically has a book on it that they have to
- 2:07:05Speaker 1: check off little boxes. And so this organization, this company,
- 2:07:11Speaker 1: they had hundreds of stores in the area where they
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: were starting this food program. And we had gotten the
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: okay to start on a particular day at a particular time.
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: This is when you can start cooking and serving the food,
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: not a minute before everything will be ready. Then this
- 2:07:36Speaker 1: is what you have to accomplish prior to that. And
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: you know, the day before they come through and they
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: take off all their boxes, Okay, you've done everything you're
- 2:07:44Speaker 1: supposed to do, right, So everything was great day of
- 2:07:55Speaker 1: one store out of the hundreds started like eight hours early,
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: and they offended the gods at the health department. How
- 2:08:10Speaker 1: dare you? How dare you start eight hours early? We said,
- 2:08:14Speaker 1: ex o'clock? You said, why o'clock? We are the authority.
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: Guess what we're going to do. So they send them
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: back every every evaluator, and it comes comes back to
- 2:08:27Speaker 1: the stores that they had looked at before and went
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: through and every place where they had said, well, this
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: is good enough. It doesn't actually meet the standard, but
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: it's so close that we're not going to to dicker
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: over it. They dickered the fuck out of everything. And
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: at our store, where they had okayed a whole bunch
- 2:08:52Speaker 1: of things that were borderline and I didn't know this
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: until afterward, bunch of things that were like, well, you know,
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: you don't have a full six feet of open space
- 2:09:07Speaker 1: in front of your electrical panels, but somebody can get
- 2:09:12Speaker 1: to them with the fire extinguisher and it is close,
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: so we'll let that slide, right. Just little things like that.
- 2:09:23Speaker 1: They unchecked all of those boxes and gave us twenty
- 2:09:27Speaker 1: four hours to fix it. On our paperwork about our kitchen,
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: they wrote, clean this whole room like it was. It
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: was if it was that bad forty eight hours prior.
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: And they didn't write that on there, but they did
- 2:09:52Speaker 1: because they were offended. That tells you something, right, Yeah,
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: And I got I got eight hours of overtime out
- 2:10:01Speaker 1: of that because they basically said, Okay, who's the O
- 2:10:04Speaker 1: c D person. Oh, that's Hannah. All right, let's send
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: Hannah's sick Hannah on that room. And I did. I
- 2:10:13Speaker 1: cleaned that whole room. And this is this is the
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: worst part. Okay, I get done. I just get done.
- 2:10:21Speaker 1: I had initially they gave me like three or four hours,
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: and I had it sparkling it like that. The iron
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: chef would have been like, yeah, I can cook in here.
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: And and the soda guy came in, the pop guy
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: that brings the syrup in the bag of the boxes
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: for the and he he has to he does a
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: couple of different things. One of them has to do
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: with calibrating the the the R two unit, which is
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: where the OR two unit in Star Wars got its name.
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure which it's the it's the carbon dioxide
- 2:11:08Speaker 1: uh insertion that that that that makes the pop fizzy basically,
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: and he fucked us something up. I don't know what
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: he did, but it caused an explosion of coalis cert
- 2:11:23Speaker 1: my god, that reached from one end of the room
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: to the other, from head to toe. The man was
- 2:11:33Speaker 1: dripping like he looked like he had been tarred and
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: was about to be feathered.
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: It would have been so pissed.
- 2:11:43Speaker 1: It like splattered. The ceiling got all over like we
- 2:11:47Speaker 1: had a It got all over the electrical electrical panels,
- 2:11:50Speaker 1: got all over my freezer. And so I got another
- 2:11:55Speaker 1: six hours of overtime out of that, like I got
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: to clean my My total overtime that I received was eight.
- 2:12:04Speaker 1: But this poor guy and he looked at me and
- 2:12:08Speaker 1: he was like, I'm so sorry, And I didn't tell
- 2:12:11Speaker 1: him that I had the health department coming in. I
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: just looked at him because, like you look at this,
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: you can't imagine how sad and pitiful this poor guy looked,
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: just standing there coated and this stuff is sticky. If
- 2:12:27Speaker 1: you just spill your pop on the floor, it's sticky.
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: But the syrup, yeah is it? When when you get
- 2:12:35Speaker 1: your pop, a fifth of it is that syrup and
- 2:12:40Speaker 1: the other four fifths are the soda water. So he
- 2:12:45Speaker 1: got straight syrup. Fel like if somebody just opened up
- 2:12:51Speaker 1: a barrel of you know, any any kind of pancake
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: syrup and don't Oh my god, I couldn't. I couldn't
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: be mad like this. And he had to drive home
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: like that. Oh no. And we weren't anywhere near like
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: a truck stop or someplace where he could go get
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: a shower. You know, if I had have lived across
- 2:13:15Speaker 1: the street, I'd have been like, that's my house over there,
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: here's the key. You know, I'll let my husband know
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: what's going on. You need to go get it, get
- 2:13:24Speaker 1: cleaned up. You know, here's some extra clothes, like but yeah,
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: this poor guy. And but but the next day when
- 2:13:36Speaker 1: the health department came in, I still had that kitchen spotless,
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: like completely, but U and they still ding this on stuff.
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: Oh my god, like there was still stuff there, like
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: we want you to it's gonna be okay. You can
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: still do you for your start, but by that date
- 2:13:54Speaker 1: you have to end. One of the things they dinged
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: on was the fawcets, not the faucets, but the think handles.
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: And it was because we were supposed to do that,
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: and they had told us to do that, and the
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: company had told them that we did that, and they
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: hadn't checked and we hadn't done that. So, yeah, your
- 2:14:20Speaker 1: your officials in your government that are supposed to be
- 2:14:24Speaker 1: protecting you from from things like food poisoning and bad
- 2:14:32Speaker 1: ingredients in your food and poor construction on say, the
- 2:14:40Speaker 1: system that transports flammable gases into your house to keep
- 2:14:44Speaker 1: it from you know, being cold. Run your furnace, run
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: your stove, run your water, heat and stuff that that
- 2:14:55Speaker 1: their job is to make sure that those things don't
- 2:14:58Speaker 1: make your house explode, whether or not. The officials in
- 2:15:02Speaker 1: charge who are supposed to be making sure those people
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: do their job right so you don't suffer consequences of
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: them not doing their job right. They care more about
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: whether or not their authority is respected than they do
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: about whether or not they're doing their job.
- 2:15:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: Yes, David Loboy, I'm from Ohio. So we have sin
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: candles instead of sink handles, and we have a community
- 2:15:32Speaker 1: just north of Dayton named after a well known city
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: in France, Versailles, the city of Treaty Fame, but in
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: Ohio it's called Versales.
- 2:15:50Speaker 6: You're allowed to do that, and you're allowed to because
- 2:15:53Speaker 6: you're not a friends and you're not Portuguese.
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: That's true. And then we're also allowed to say kro
- 2:16:00Speaker 1: instead of Cairo because we're rednecks and you can't tell
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: us what the fuck to do. But but yeah, and
- 2:16:12Speaker 1: then half half the state says kro and the other
- 2:16:16Speaker 1: half says caro. Not very many people say Cairo. So
- 2:16:25Speaker 1: there you go. But but then again, if you're from
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: one part of the state, you're from Ohio, and if
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: you're from another part of the state, you're from Ohio.
- 2:16:36Speaker 2: Yeah Ohia.
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I grew up in Ohio, but I live
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: in Ohio, so a certain fandom will understand what I
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: just said and nobody else does. Yeah, oh, David, you know,
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: you know, yes, you should know, mister Youngstown.
- 2:17:00Speaker 6: Okay, I have good authority that it's all Ohio.
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, it's it's all Ohio because because that's where
- 2:17:10Speaker 1: I grew up. But David, so have you actually seen
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: the were wolves? I have to have to know, because
- 2:17:18Speaker 1: I heard about the werewolves in young Town. Youngstown has
- 2:17:23Speaker 1: were wolves, guys, and and yes, yes, according to other
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: people that I have met from Youngstown, wolfman does have nards.
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: But with that, and we'll get back to the point there. Yeah,
- 2:17:39Speaker 1: they they don't this idea of term limits like it's
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: such a cop out. It is such a cop out.
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: Judges can be impeached if they don't do their job right,
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: and they should, but the state should not impeach the
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: people's choices preemptively just because they don't like how they're
- 2:18:04Speaker 1: doing their job. Let's see, it is nine twenty one.
- 2:18:11Speaker 1: We better get well. We'll continue with this next week.
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: But you see what's going on here, and there is
- 2:18:17Speaker 1: more to this. I will continue this next week. It's
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: the full set of things. We may not go over
- 2:18:23Speaker 1: the full set of things because some of them are
- 2:18:25Speaker 1: worse than others, and some of them are easier to
- 2:18:27Speaker 1: understand than others. But they're closing off all the ways
- 2:18:32Speaker 1: that you can contribute to the process of putting people
- 2:18:39Speaker 1: in office who are going to determine what the bureaucracy
- 2:18:45Speaker 1: does and who is involved in it. But they've made
- 2:18:49Speaker 1: no mention whatsoever of placing any limitations on the power
- 2:18:54Speaker 1: of the bureaucracy. Notice that you should be concerned about
- 2:18:59Speaker 1: these people. So this coup that they're trying to do,
- 2:19:02Speaker 1: they're organizing with people from other countries, elites in the
- 2:19:09Speaker 1: United States and UH financiers from the World Economic Forum
- 2:19:20Speaker 1: to UH to be able to manipulate your elections, control
- 2:19:26Speaker 1: which candidates you can support, how much you can know
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: about those candidates, and UH how you vote, and how
- 2:19:36Speaker 1: how much recourse you have over you know, whether the
- 2:19:40Speaker 1: election outcome was valid or not. And they've been doing
- 2:19:47Speaker 1: this for two years. They've been working on this for
- 2:19:49Speaker 1: two years. So we'll we'll talk more about this next week.
- 2:19:58Speaker 1: Let's see. Yeah, I already read Meredith, jeez, super chow.
- 2:20:06Speaker 1: We do not have any rumbel rants or super chats.
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's gonna be it. Thanks everybody for listening.
- 2:20:14Speaker 1: Thanks to my two co hosts for going with This
- 2:20:16Speaker 1: is some dry material again, I know, but at the
- 2:20:21Speaker 1: same time, if you really think about it, it's not
- 2:20:24Speaker 1: like this is this is rage material. This is just
- 2:20:26Speaker 1: as much rage material as last week. It's just not
- 2:20:29Speaker 1: as graphic. Yeah, this is the Tate State telling you
- 2:20:34Speaker 1: you can't tell me no. So thanks for going through
- 2:20:41Speaker 1: that with me. Good idol. Thanks very much Brian for
- 2:20:44Speaker 1: working in the background to make all of this happen.
