choosing to believe that
3:32

lastly if you own a home replace your mortgage it can
4:25
Put you into a whole new world between five and seven years to pay off your your home
4:34
Without making additional payments not making double payments not paying did none of those tricks none
4:39
It's not a re-finance. It's not a recast. It's none of that. It's a totally different product
4:45
There's it's not look. This is not a fit for everybody
4:48
You have to have good credit you have to have some equity in your house and
4:52
You have to be financially disciplined and you have to be like cash flow positive
4:56
But if you have those things you can most certainly pay off your house in between five and seven years
5:01
It just flips the math into your favor
5:04
Watch the video. There's a lot to understand that I can't deliver in like a minute here
5:10
Wipe out your mortgage now.com wipe out your mortgage now
5:15
Dot-com is the website that is connected to the video. You just go there. It'll show you everything that you need and
5:23
The link is down in the show notes. I mean listen. It's a bank killer. Fuck the banks love it
5:28
Let's talk about I don't know man. My fourth of July was kind of uneventful. I
5:35
I
5:35
There was a big build-up to this here, you know for those of you who are in the United States
5:41
You know you saw that it was like the 250th
5:45
Anniversary of the country and I just I just kept thinking about it like it was a going out of business sale
5:51
You know what I mean like where you have the
5:56
The clearance banners hanging
6:00
Shittily from the building and it just kind of everything looks like it's in disarray
6:06
And it just kind of screams like oh, yeah, they're clearly going out of business over there
6:10
Let's go over there and see if we can pick through their
6:15
You know, let's see if they've got anything good and and for whatever
6:19
For whatever reason, I don't know anything about the furniture industry
6:22
But fourth of July sales tend to be the whole like a big deal in the furniture world
6:28
So it felt to me like like it was like the
6:32
250 year USA furniture sale blowout every everything must go we're making deals on couches
6:39
We're throwing in love seats. It's like
6:43
everything
6:44
You know very cartoonish
6:46
very
6:48
It started kind of with Trump
6:52
Announcing that he was gonna have all these, you know, like a big
6:57
concert and then
6:58
Everybody dropped out of the concert because it was crazy that they were gonna be in it anyway and then
7:06
He'd
7:06
insulted them for dropping out of the concert and called them all has bins and shit shit all over on which is funny
7:12
But expected then said he would actually replace them because he's the great talker and that that's
7:19
What everybody wants to come and see anyway, and he's he's
7:22
unfortunately not wrong in that arrogant remark, but
7:28
It just it just kind of set this, you know
7:31
I probably even started before that or maybe about the same time when the UFC was having the event on the White House lawn
7:37
It's it's it is idiocracy come-to-life. It is it is so on the nose that
7:45
You it's it parodies itself
7:48
You know, you can't even make fun of it. It's so it's so on it's so obvious and it's a
7:58
Kamacho ism, you know, he just expected president Mountain Dew Kamacho out there with a machine gun and
8:07
And frankly, I think a lot of people are kind of ready for that
8:10
It's been a good run and it's I mean 250 years is the short but
8:16
Spectacular did a lot of damage
8:18
But I think it's time to consider putting the the for sale sign or the going-out-of-business sign
8:25
And the you know everything must go sign in the window and just liquidating I
8:30
Stayed in a hotel last month that was in in Croatia. There was in this fort in on the island of Split and
8:37
That fort had been there three times longer than the United States
8:43
And it's like it's just a perspective checker, you know, where you you go
8:49
Oh, yeah, this whole United States experiment thing is relatively new. It's hard to think about that but
8:57
because we're just I don't think we're wired to
9:01
really understand
9:03
have that scale
9:05
perspective to know what that means but
9:08
We are a relatively new country and it's been hijacked and gutted and if only
9:16
You know if only it were what it with the sales pitch was for it
9:21
and it's been kind of an interesting time because
9:26
At the same time that it's becoming obvious
9:30
4th of July the
9:33
experiment is ending the wheels are coming off of of the
9:38
American clown car
9:39
We also
9:41
Simultaneously have the world cup going on and we're getting people that are coming from Scotland and
9:47
Norway and
9:49
You know Japan and they're coming from all over the place and they're experiencing American culture and they're blown away with it
9:56
you like they they they're
9:58
they're
9:59
They're in you know like they're they're having a put like the Japanese guys going to
10:06
Texas barbecues fantastic, you know, like they just
10:10
Blowing their minds or the Scots drinking all the beer in Boston, which is fucking great
10:16
I mean so so and singing and doing all that that that's a
10:21
You get a glimpse. It's always it's almost it's it's simultaneously
10:29
Optimistic, you know and demoralizing right because you get a glimpse of what it could be
10:35
You're like are you against immigration? It's like shit
10:38
I'm not against immigration if it's all these people that are coming that actually want to be here and
10:44
Speak the language and are ideologically aligned and I don't just mean white, but I mean, you know, they're they're they're they're they're
10:52
coming from a high-trust society and
10:55
entering America and in
10:57
Intending to maintain it or keep it at a level that they perceive to be a high-trust society spoiler alert for this episode
11:04
It's not
11:06
We're gonna talk about how the American Empire's overextended. We are gonna talk about some solutions
11:11
I mean, it's not like it's lost or anything, but I want to mention what what I see
11:17
Going on out there. I want to mention New York. I mean, I'm sorry to pick on New York again
11:20
But some stats came out that are staggering and of course we have to talk about that because
11:26
It's a microcosm of America, but it's nice to see some people
11:31
Want to come to the United States and I'm not like a hand on my heart. We be
11:37
saluting the flag on 4th of July type of person, but I do want I do like living in the United States and and wish that it was
11:46
Maintaining what it used to be it's deteriorating and it it's fixable, but but it's got to get honest about some of the flaws
11:53
so I'm
11:56
I'm I'm proud. I mean, I enjoy living in the United States
12:00
I'm certainly not proud of what the American Empire has done
12:04
but there was a time when we all kind of got along and things were much better and it's
12:09
intentionally falling apart and
12:13
It's end of Empire behavior, frankly by the super wealthy and by the dirt poor
12:20
You know and the people in the middle
12:23
Us who are trying to make sense of this. We're like I
12:28
you know
12:30
It
12:31
They're stealing everything that isn't bolted down inside the Trump administration
12:36
And the Bidens do I mean every but but the right now it's it's almost as if like they got the memo that
12:44
The ship is sinking. Yeah, I mean cuz I the Trump family is looting
12:50
Like crypto rug pulls multiple crypto investment deals and shady energy company
12:57
I mean like Burisma style energy company investment in companies in
13:03
Central Asia that then magically get get financing from the American State Department and things
13:08
you know all that dirty dealing stuff like
13:12
Every president and their administer their family on some level has been doing this
13:17
I think that's inherent across every government, right?
13:22
But there used to be a little bit of decorum used to pretend like you weren't stealing everything used to like it
13:27
At least make it look like you know, you you you'd set up a foundation and steal afterwards
13:33
like the Clinton Foundation did
13:36
and
13:38
Not to though they did steal the furniture out of the White House, which is hilarious, but
13:44
Actually perfectly on brand
13:47
So
13:49
Then the United States is now unfortunately, I hate to say this but in the big city
13:55
I'll leave it to the big cities and not
14:00
paint the entire
14:02
America this way, but in the big cities the United States is now
14:07
Predominantly a low-trust society. It just is and
14:12
You don't notice it if you live here. It's incremental. You're the fish
14:19
Swimming in the dirty fish tank, right?
14:22
It was clean at one point and it didn't get that dirty
14:26
Instantly or you would have noticed it just progressively got a little shittier degraded every day a photocopied version of a photocopied version of
14:34
Society and that's kind of where we are and then on my
14:39
travels to
14:40
Asia over the last couple years
14:43
Going to Tokyo it just the the jet the contrast between a
14:51
High an actual high-trust society and how that functions and walking by a big rack of bikes and saying to my friends
14:58
Look, there's not a bike lock on any of them
15:01
you know just and
15:04
You know you you feel a tiny bit
15:09
demoralized
15:10
Right, like you know you want you almost want the dream to go on. Oh America's greatest country in the world
15:16
We fight for freedom and democracy like yeah, yeah, man like
15:22
We haven't you guys been singing that same old song for a long time
15:26
Like I don't think people are buying it anymore
15:28
The economy is a scam like in more ways than you can imagine wait
15:34
Just wait hang on in here a couple minutes when we get to the New York City part when I when I say the economy is a scam
15:41
It's not just like some throwaway line
15:43
I've got stats that'll back it up. They'll just blow your mind. You just won't even believe it the
15:50
and and I think that
15:54
Non-profits and NGOs are being used to destroy everything
16:00
They're the wrecking ball and they because and this how they do it. They do it under the guise of helping
16:07
They're charities. They're they're here to help, you know, and they help
16:12
By getting in there creating bureaucracies and making sure that those that sucks up all the resources all the money and
16:19
That nothing ever gets done
16:21
Because the goal is to never get anything done
16:25
And to make sure that like good ideas die and that shitty ideas live and that anything that's that's here to help
16:32
get stuck in a committee
16:34
endlessly forever and
16:37
That's what you get in these
16:39
Leftist shithole big cities like Los Angeles
16:42
San Francisco and Portland and Seattle and Chicago and New York and Philadelphia and Houston
16:50
The I mean it's undeniable that the wheels have come off Washington, DC. Sorry
16:56
Miami to a certain extent
16:58
you know it
16:59
You look at it you go I
17:03
If you if you were trying to destroy a city you couldn't have done it any better. I have to I have to I
17:11
Either I'm going to say you're the most incompetent people in the world or your evil geniuses to be able to do what you've done to Seattle
17:19
We just did an episode about transgendered refugees in Seattle. I mean, holy shit
17:26
When I started this podcast, I certainly never thought I would have to do an episode about
17:32
But it's here. We are it's just what it is
17:37
the national the US National debt clock, I just checked it
17:41
39.41 trillion dollars in debt and I've started thinking that
17:48
Clearly they're not paying it back. I don't think that's that's an option that anybody's even
17:54
considering anymore it makes me think that
17:59
This this might me be me giving them too much credit, but allow me to like
18:04
Pontificate here for a second, but what if they know something?
18:08
We don't know like what if they know there's a gigantic pole shift or an asteroid coming then
18:13
If they pulled if somebody pulled you aside and said
18:16
There's an asteroid that's coming in 30 years. That's gonna wipe out everything. We're gonna go back to the Stone Age. I
18:28
Haven't upgraded the infrastructure inside the United States?
18:33
I yeah, okay. No now I get it now. I know why we don't have trains
18:38
China has high-speed Rail
18:41
Trains has had them for 20 years
18:45
They go everywhere
18:48
We have Amtrak subsidized by the government I'm trying to give them in out
18:52
I'm trying to get it I'm trying to give them an
18:56
an opportunity to explain their incompetence
18:59
by saying there's a pole shift coming.
19:02
None of this is gonna matter.
19:05
People at the highest level know this,
19:07
that's why nothing ever gets done.
19:09
Then I would go, oh, okay, that's great.
19:12
But, and maybe that is the case, but I don't know.
19:15
Until I get some sort of evidence or until it happens.
19:19
I'm going to go with fraud and incompetence
19:23
as being probably the main driver of this.
19:29
I mean, the fact that there is now zero financial oversight
19:33
is crazy with Catherine Austen Fitzon
19:37
talking about FASB 56.
19:38
What they did is they made the accounting,
19:42
you know, like the blackout, you know,
19:44
or how they blackout documents
19:45
when you're doing like FOIA requests and things
19:48
that you get a document,
19:48
but it's three quarters of it's blacked out.
19:52
That's the American government's accounting system,
19:56
essentially is all blacked out, right?
20:00
So there's missing money, what they found, 21 trillion.
20:07
They only examined two out of the 17 federal agencies.
20:11
So extrapolate out however much, I mean,
20:14
I don't know, 100 trillion plus missing out.
20:17
Fuck, I don't know, you're guessing at this point,
20:19
but more than 21 trillion, you know that.
20:23
We've got an overextended military.
20:26
Oh, I'm going to get into that a little bit later.
20:29
We've got a power grid that is outdated.
20:32
We've got roads and interstates and bridges that need help.
20:37
You know, I mean, like, I'm at the point where it's like,
20:41
I'm not asking for high speed rail.
20:43
I'm just asking for decent rail.
20:45
Rail where the trains don't fall off the tracks
20:47
or go across bridges that don't fall down
20:49
or when your bridge in Baltimore gets hit, you rebuild it.
20:53
I think if the Iranian military were in charge
20:56
of rebuilding the bridge in Baltimore,
21:00
it would have been built in a month.
21:03
They seem to be pretty good at getting their missile silos
21:06
all dug out and, right, apparently.
21:11
Can we hire Iranian engineers to rebuild our bridges,
21:15
please?
21:16
Because apparently they rule at it.
21:21
But do we even have any money to spend on building that bridge?
21:25
By the way, the Baltimore Bridge,
21:27
I think the initial projection I'm making these,
21:32
I'm not making the numbers up, but I'm estimating here.
21:35
It was something like 1.4 billion was like the original one.
21:39
And I think the latest number I saw was like 5 billion.
21:42
It's like, you just laugh and go, okay.
21:48
I mean, just call it fraud.
21:50
We understand.
21:51
I mean, could you imagine running a business
21:53
where you're like, boss, okay, I have the projections
21:56
for what it's gonna take to launch this new widget of ours.
21:59
And you're like, and you like give it to your boss,
22:01
all the facts and figures they need.
22:05
And then you come in nine months later
22:08
and say it's gonna cost three times more
22:11
than what you'd projected, you would be fired, right?
22:14
Why do we allow this in government?
22:15
Oh, we made a mistake, you know,
22:17
that one and a half billion dollar bridge,
22:20
it's actually gonna be five billion, our bad.
22:22
No, not your bad.
22:24
Build it for a billion and a half, like you said you could.
22:27
Or were you lying about that, you know?
22:31
We've got, you know, we're, you know, I don't wanna be
22:37
negative and say that America's cooked, you know,
22:41
closing its doors and everything.
22:43
But like, what would the signs look like if it were?
22:50
Would it look like Americans not having $450
22:56
of savings for an emergency?
22:59
Would it look like 70% of Americans
23:01
not having that much money just squirreled away
23:04
in case something goes wrong?
23:05
You have to go to the dentist in an emergency, whatever.
23:13
Like homelessness is one mistake away, one accident away.
23:19
It doesn't even have to be your fault.
23:22
That's the, I mean, it'd be one thing if it's your fault
23:24
and you just keep putting yourself in bad situations
23:29
and it'd be tough to have a lot of empathy
23:32
but in America right now, you can just be an unlucky guy
23:37
walking across the street and your life has changed, right?
23:42
One bad situation, you get hit by a migrant in a car
23:47
who has no insurance.
23:48
Prime example, happens every day,
23:50
happens a hundred times a day every day.
23:53
Now what?
23:55
It's your, not your fault, but it's your problem.
24:00
Right, so now we have problems that didn't exist years ago
24:04
that are being created by people who weren't here years ago.
24:09
So it's not an overstatement to say
24:13
that things have degraded.
24:16
And it's not just that the people that have been brought
24:19
in by the millions are incompatible.
24:22
In some case, some are, some aren't.
24:25
But let's just say generally speaking,
24:27
we're intentionally brought in to be incompatible.
24:33
Then it's not just that that's a problem.
24:36
Those people then go on to create more problems
24:41
and more people.
24:43
They then self-replicate at a rate that's three times
24:47
what the current US rate is, depending on the country.
24:52
But if you're coming from Central Africa,
24:56
you're at least three times the rate,
24:59
maybe even four or five times the rate,
25:01
depending on which country you're coming from.
25:03
So like, you can just do the math, man.
25:06
You know what compound interest looks like?
25:08
Just look at compound interest of people, right?
25:12
Cause that's what you're getting.
25:14
You can run the population maps to 2100
25:18
and see what America's demographics are gonna look like.
25:21
It's gonna be unrecognizable, right?
25:23
America's sick, physically, mentally,
25:29
stressed out, psychologically broken,
25:32
over-medicated, like crazy.
25:34
I mean, there's a lot of issues going on here.
25:36
I mean, some of it is like, you need some tough love.
25:40
People need to stand up and take accountability
25:43
for their own actions.
25:44
But I don't wanna go Dave Ramsey here
25:46
and be like, pull yourself up from your bootstraps.
25:50
You know, get two jobs, go take a paper route
25:53
and all this stuff that he tells people.
25:55
Listen, dude, that the world has changed.
25:58
Okay, like, boomer advice doesn't work.
26:03
That you are on a different playing field.
26:05
Like, you need to recognize where you are.
26:08
And if you are in New York City,
26:11
you need to make some calculations.
26:13
And we've talked about New York quite a bit here.
26:16
And I think we're probably gonna be forced to continue to
26:20
because it becomes like a new San Francisco.
26:24
You know, San Francisco I kind of always thought of
26:26
as like this terrarium where you can just watch it
26:28
from, watch like bad leftist ideas marinate
26:32
and give them a couple of years and see how that works.
26:37
It's fascinating, except that it's impacting good people,
26:40
some good people, some shithead people
26:42
that are causing the problems.
26:44
But it's fascinating to watch what you can do
26:47
when you allow leftists to be in charge of policies.
26:50
You get these crazy ideas that aren't anchored
26:55
in the reality of human behavior,
26:59
but are in, but are instead some sort of
27:01
fantasy Marxist theory that they believe will work.
27:07
If, you know, like we just need to hug these people
27:10
while they're in the middle of a mental episode
27:13
with a knife on a bus, you know, what that person needed,
27:16
the problem with that person, with the knife
27:18
who's stabbing people relentlessly on the A train
27:21
is that they weren't hugged enough when they were a kid
27:25
or if you're in San Francisco and so help me God,
27:27
I'm not making this up.
27:29
The two different cards that you could ask for
27:33
when you were buying your train ticket,
27:35
the two different cards they would give you,
27:37
I assume they were like laminated, I don't know.
27:40
But one card was, hello, neighbor,
27:45
I see that you're being assaulted.
27:47
I am witnessing this and I will be,
27:49
and I will document this for the,
27:51
and then the other card is help, hello, I'm being assaulted.
27:58
Please advise, let my family know
28:01
where they can collect my dead corpse
28:03
and raped body or whatever, I don't know.
28:05
But like these, and you think I'm kidding,
28:07
these were real cards that the BART system
28:09
was giving out in San Francisco,
28:11
telling people to, you know,
28:12
handing out to drive, to passengers,
28:15
that if they're in the middle of getting assaulted,
28:18
robbed, raped, or murdered,
28:21
they can calmly hand this laminated card
28:24
to the person next to them with blood all over it.
28:28
I'm a, you know, in their dying breaths,
28:32
you know, make sure not to mention
28:34
the race of the person who stabbed me,
28:36
I don't want them to go to jail.
28:40
I mean, you know, there's part of me
28:42
that's like, you fucking deserve it.
28:45
You vote for this, you want this,
28:47
you want this social experiment,
28:49
you should be forced to, but you don't get to leave.
28:52
That's the thing, if you vote for this stuff
28:54
and you want it, that should be part of the criteria.
28:57
Like, oh, you're looking to relocate to Idaho?
28:59
I'm sorry, it shows that you voted Democrat
29:01
the last three elections, like,
29:03
you can't buy a house here, I'm sorry.
29:05
You have to go back and live
29:07
with the consequences of your actions.
29:11
Speaking of that, New York, okay,
29:14
it's just such a mess with all the communist mayors and all,
29:17
but New York City is a Potemkin village,
29:21
you know what that is, like a fake village,
29:23
like the kinds that they would create to,
29:27
the facade looks kind of real,
29:30
kind of like Truman Show, maybe not that in-depth,
29:32
but fake economy.
29:35
The fake economy fuels New York City.
29:38
Now, I was of the belief that Wall Street
29:43
fueled New York City, that it was industry
29:46
and advertising and big business and banks
29:49
and everything that made New York City what it is, right?
29:54
Rockefellers and Carnegie's
29:56
and they built this city into this, you know,
30:00
if you can make it here,
30:01
you can make it anywhere type of place.
30:02
Well, you know what it really is?
30:05
It is a bullshit economy.
30:09
It is 30% of New York City's economy is fake.
30:16
Allow me to elaborate.
30:20
So the NGOs in New York City
30:22
are essentially the head of the snake
30:25
for this bullshit economy.
30:27
They run three different industries,
30:29
healthcare, education, social services, okay?
30:35
NGOs in NYC is how you can think of it, right?
30:39
They are running the scam.
30:41
They're the ones who are responsible
30:43
for the majority of Medicaid fraud,
30:47
Clower and Piven school for the education
30:50
to destroy the schools with 20 languages
30:54
and social services, which is a,
30:57
an utter catastrophe.
30:59
It is a endless treasure chest
31:03
waiting to be robbed and pillaged
31:06
by everybody in the city, apparently.
31:09
Everybody in the city was at the meeting
31:11
and told how to steal from the city,
31:14
except for the people who are at work.
31:17
They must have put it on during the commercials
31:19
of like Maury Povich or some shit like that
31:21
during daytime TV with all the personal injury attorneys.
31:26
They probably were like,
31:27
hey, do you wanna make free money in New York City
31:30
for doing quite literally absolutely nothing?
31:32
Well, let me introduce you to
31:34
the New York State Medicaid Stay Home Program
31:39
with aging relatives.
31:42
Are you familiar with this program?
31:45
It is fake.
31:46
It is a grift.
31:48
It is quite literally free money.
31:50
What they said was
31:54
sometimes, and this isn't even necessarily
31:58
the wrong calculation to make,
32:01
but they said sometimes it's probably better
32:05
for the patient and cheaper for the people
32:09
and easier on the system if the sick person
32:17
who's not sick enough to be in the hospital
32:20
but not well enough to be not sick
32:23
has kind of a caretaker.
32:26
And if that caretaker is somebody
32:29
who lives in the home currently,
32:31
like a adult son, let's say,
32:36
we'd be willing to compensate that person
32:39
because it's just a calculation that we make
32:41
that otherwise you're gonna go into the hospital
32:44
all the time, it's gonna cost us a lot of money,
32:46
whatever, they make a calculation.
32:48
They say we open this program up,
32:50
New York State Medicaid Stay Home
32:53
with Aging Relatives Program, right?
32:55
In 2014, there are 20,000 people
33:01
on this program in New York City, 20,000 people.
33:05
You can fill Madison Square Garden
33:07
with about 20,000 people, okay?
33:10
Out of New York City, a lot, but it's not everybody.
33:15
Then Obama gets involved and changes it,
33:19
changes the language in it, changes the criteria,
33:23
changes who's eligible, changes what they get paid,
33:26
and basically opens it up to every scammer
33:31
in New York City that wants free money.
33:34
So in 2014, there were 20,000 people on it.
33:38
When Obama made the change the following year,
33:41
that jumped to 250,000 people.
33:46
You know what it is now?
33:48
620,000 people.
33:51
There are 620,000 people in New York City
33:57
who are on the New York State Medicaid Stay Home Program.
34:03
12% of private sector jobs in New York City
34:08
is this bullshit job.
34:11
12%, how much does Wall Street make up?
34:14
Does Wall Street make up 12%?
34:17
I doubt it.
34:19
I mean, can you imagine that?
34:23
It is 30 times worse than it was in 2014.
34:29
Not a million years ago, like 12 years ago.
34:33
Everybody is on this.
34:36
They are paying people to stay home air quotes
34:40
with their sick relatives and there's no oversight.
34:47
So again, when I say that America is no longer
34:55
a high-trust society in these big cities,
34:57
this is what I'm talking about.
34:59
High-trust, this shit doesn't happen in Tokyo.
35:02
It does not happen there.
35:04
They have honor and integrity.
35:06
They wouldn't dream of doing this.
35:09
They may have thoughts about their government.
35:11
Maybe they do, maybe they don't.
35:12
But it's dishonorable to do that.
35:19
But they don't care.
35:21
You have 12% of the private sector jobs
35:26
are quite literally bullshit jobs.
35:30
They're bullshit jobs.
35:32
12%.
35:34
So this is the white pill for New York.
35:38
It's fixable.
35:40
All you have to do is fix the problem.
35:43
Make sure Milton doesn't get his paycheck anymore.
35:46
Just get in there and fix the problem.
35:50
But I've got news for you.
35:53
If you think this is bad,
35:56
wait until you hear what the NGOs are doing.
35:58
The NGOs have scam jobs too.
36:02
And they account for 18% of the private sector jobs
36:09
are NGOs, meaning that 30% of New York City's
36:15
private sector jobs are bullshit jobs.
36:19
Three out of 10 jobs can go away immediately.
36:23
They are a direct result of these scams.
36:28
And the money that is being financed in to pay for this,
36:32
USAID, all that shit.
36:35
Listen to this numbers.
36:36
Between 75% and 90% of private sector job growth
36:41
comes from these two scam industries.
36:44
There is no job growth in New York City.
36:46
There is no job growth.
36:48
It's fake.
36:49
It's two fake industries
36:52
that are accounting for 30% of what's going on
36:54
in the greatest city that's so nice
36:57
they decided to name it twice.
36:59
That's why I say it's a low-trust society.
37:02
Listen to these numbers.
37:03
42% on Medicaid.
37:05
That's almost half.
37:07
That's embarrassing.
37:08
20% of New York City is on food stamps.
37:12
Again, I'm not trying to be a dick here,
37:15
but you're on food stamps?
37:17
Why do you live in the most expensive city
37:20
in the country then?
37:21
Like move someplace cheaper.
37:25
I just don't understand why there needs to be
37:27
so much subsidizing of this.
37:29
33% in rent stabilized departments.
37:34
Let me explain something about rent control.
37:37
And I say this with 30 years
37:39
of real estate brokerage experience.
37:42
Rent control, freezing rents isn't for the people.
37:46
It's to destroy landlords.
37:48
This is what commies do.
37:51
They do this to destroy landlords,
37:54
to place unreasonable caps on their revenue
38:03
and to tax them and handicap them as much as they can
38:08
so that they will go out of business
38:10
so that the state can take their property
38:12
because they're communists and that's what they do.
38:14
They're not builders, they are destroyers.
38:17
They're the ones that take stuff.
38:20
They don't build things.
38:21
So when you put commies in there
38:24
that put in rent controls and things like that
38:26
and you go, yay, my rent freezes.
38:29
No, it's not, and they're not doing it to benefit you.
38:32
It's a benefit to you and you'll vote for them
38:35
because of it and they'll sell it to you
38:38
like they're doing it for your behalf,
38:40
but they're not.
38:41
What they're trying to do is crush the owner
38:43
of the building.
38:46
So that they can condemn it so that they can take it
38:50
because that's what they wanna do.
38:52
That's what commies do
38:54
and it's only gonna get worse, right?
38:57
5%, so a third of the people in New York City
39:01
are in rent stabilized departments.
39:05
Where is the Adam Smith invisible hand of free markets?
39:09
What the fuck are we doing with rent controls?
39:13
Is this Cuba?
39:15
Get out of here with this bullshit.
39:16
They do it in Santa Monica too.
39:18
They've done it there forever.
39:20
It's commie bullshit.
39:26
5% of people in New York City are in public housing.
39:31
Projects.
39:32
I don't know if you've driven in from the airport
39:34
but you go by the projects man
39:36
and it's quite obvious where you are.
39:40
Paid by taxpayers for some reason.
39:42
You know, you're living in taxpayer.
39:44
This isn't, again, it's when people say government funded.
39:48
No, taxpayer funded.
39:51
The government is the middleman that's taking your money
39:54
and not telling you where it's going
39:59
but it's not their money.
40:01
It's our money.
40:02
So when you see when 5% of the people in New York City
40:05
are living in public housing,
40:08
why the fuck are people paying for that?
40:12
And 25% of the people in New York City work for government.
40:16
We're either work for the government
40:18
or work for non-profits, right?
40:20
So bullshit, make work, email jobs.
40:26
That's what we're doing.
40:28
That's what New York City is, okay?
40:31
So I say that to
40:38
you've got Mondami there.
40:40
He's just starting.
40:43
You've got years of this.
40:45
I don't know what you guys are gonna do there.
40:47
If you're a sane, rational person
40:50
and I know there's a lot of you there in New York,
40:52
like what is your plan?
40:55
If you don't have a plan,
40:57
you become part of someone else's plan
40:58
as the great Terence McKenna says.
41:01
So like, what's everybody's plan?
41:04
Because the American Empire is coming to a close.
41:10
There's a pretty good book about it too.
41:12
Got a copy of it right here.
41:17
Let me make sure you can see my name on it as well.
41:20
Control demolition of the American Empire, you say,
41:22
written in 2020.
41:24
How could you guys have seen what was coming?
41:25
Oh, I don't know.
41:27
We just had our eyes open for this.
41:31
You know, you don't wanna be right about it.
41:33
I don't like, I feel negative talking about
41:37
a lot of this stuff
41:38
and I don't wanna feel negative about it.
41:40
But I also don't wanna be like overly optimistic
41:45
about where things are going.
41:47
And we make this point in the book
41:49
and I think I have to,
41:50
I always feel like I need to reiterate it
41:52
because people conflate the American Empire with America.
41:56
And I must point that much in the same way
41:59
that the Soviet Union had these 15 additional states,
42:07
essentially, that when it broke apart,
42:09
they became independent
42:11
and Russia became its own country,
42:15
its own heart of the Soviet Union,
42:19
Mother Russia remained
42:21
while all the appendages fell away.
42:23
And that is the direction
42:25
that the American Empire is headed, right?
42:27
So when you say that the American Empire
42:30
is coming to an end,
42:31
I know that like the Texas boys wanna go,
42:34
fuck that, you know, America will fight till the finish.
42:36
It's like, no, I'm not saying America, right?
42:39
The American Empire is like a skin suit
42:42
being worn by these people, right?
42:46
It's a much bigger thing.
42:48
It's not America.
42:49
It's like America trademark,
42:51
registered trademark circle, you know?
42:53
It's something beyond that,
42:55
run by international bankers
42:57
and satanic pedophiles and all that.
43:00
That's not the America that people are thinking of.
43:02
So I don't want people to be,
43:06
I don't want it to come across a sounding negative
43:10
that the American Empire is coming to an end.
43:13
There's tremendous benefits to it coming to an end.
43:16
It needs to, in fact.
43:19
But it'll be painful.
43:21
That's the downside,
43:21
is that we're tasked with living through
43:27
a transition period.
43:29
It's gonna be hard for everybody.
43:32
We're all gonna have different issues to deal with,
43:36
but boy, and I think people are having to make this calculation,
43:40
is it better to be asleep at the wheel
43:42
and not see what's coming?
43:44
Or do I wanna be aware of this stuff?
43:47
Do I wanna know what's happening?
43:50
So that maybe I can position myself out of the way of it.
43:54
And I err on that side.
43:55
I wanna know what's going on.
43:57
So that's part of what I wanna just reiterate.
44:01
We're overextended.
44:03
There's too many expenditures for the Empire,
44:06
on luxuries like wars, Ukraine.
44:10
You look at what that was, what that is,
44:13
and it may be hard to tell.
44:16
A fight against Russia, yeah, weak in Russia,
44:19
yeah, turned into quite a meat grinder.
44:22
Yeah, that's war for you.
44:24
Yeah, but is it?
44:26
I mean, cause wars are all a little bit different.
44:28
This one seemed particularly bloody.
44:31
Was it to empty out all of the military age
44:34
fighting Christian whites in Ukraine?
44:39
Because it did.
44:41
So because it did, I have to ask the question,
44:45
was that the plan all along?
44:48
And maybe it was because you've got Zelensky
44:53
and his handlers out of Israel.
44:57
You've got Putin and his Habad handlers as well.
45:00
He's taken the picture with the men in black.
45:03
So what if the goal is destroy
45:09
an entire generation of white Christian men
45:13
who would normally be there to defend their country
45:18
and now will not be there as Kalergyi plan is put into place
45:24
and Ukraine has changed demographically?
45:27
I mean, that's what's going to happen.
45:30
Whether that was the plan all along, we'll see,
45:34
but does it really matter?
45:37
I mean, at this point, does it really matter?
45:39
Cause that's what's happening.
45:42
And the American empire can't afford to be involved
45:45
in that anymore and they can't continue that.
45:48
We've got the situation with Iran and the ties to Israel.
45:55
You know, they're talking about a pivot
45:58
to the Western hemisphere of Monroe Doctrine,
46:01
a Trump road doctrine, North American Technate
46:06
taking Greenland all the way down to Venezuela.
46:08
These are ambitious plans.
46:10
You can't do that while you're fighting sort of a war in Iran
46:14
and whatever the fucker Ukraine is
46:17
and Taiwan could be something on any day now.
46:22
You know, you never know the direction that's headed.
46:25
So, and all these things are, you know, alarming
46:29
and there's brush fires everywhere.
46:32
It's kind of hard to notice what to focus on
46:34
with all this chaos.
46:35
I'll tell you one thing to focus on.
46:38
How about we just pick out of all of this
46:42
the blending of the American and Israeli military together
46:48
through the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act,
46:53
section 224, let's talk about that
46:58
because anybody who is even proposing that
47:04
should be led away in handcuffs.
47:07
Do you know what I mean?
47:08
If you so much as stand up in one of these meetings
47:12
and say, you know, it'd be a great idea
47:13
if we took our military that we spent a trillion dollars
47:16
and we blend it with this foreign government's military
47:19
that's murky and opaque
47:21
and nobody really knows what's going on
47:23
except they tend to rape everybody they face
47:29
and put on women's panties when they go through
47:32
their houses and they're disgusting scumbag,
47:35
the most morally deficient army in the world, the IDF,
47:39
you wanna merge the American military with the IDF?
47:45
Are you out of your fucking mind?
47:48
Anybody suggesting that, proposing that
47:50
should be taken away in a straight jacket, you know?
47:57
But here we are, they're about to do it.
48:00
They're about to do it.
48:01
This is, you know, for all of the fascism
48:05
and Nazism and calls for the treason and all,
48:10
this is it.
48:13
Served up on a silver platter for the leftist,
48:15
like raw meat that they wouldn't eat.
48:20
Vegan raw meat for the leftists out there
48:25
and they won't take it.
48:27
Why?
48:27
Why won't you take it?
48:29
If anything is a valid complaint that you have,
48:32
the blending of the disgusting Israeli military
48:36
with the disgusting American military,
48:39
the things that the American military's done,
48:42
I know about Project Phoenix.
48:44
Yeah, I know about that.
48:46
What our military did, spare me the Yankee Doodle Dandy
48:52
bullshit, they've had our troops do despicable things
48:57
overseas, right?
48:58
So like, we're no moral army either
49:02
and we're not the IDF, but shit.
49:04
The idea of blending these two together is crazy to me.
49:11
But we're in a world of Palantir.
49:14
We're in a world where Alex Karp and Peter Thiel
49:18
can have a meeting and say, you know,
49:22
we've got the goods on all of you.
49:25
Israel, America, Saudis, you name it, China.
49:31
You think our technology can't find out
49:34
what you guys are up to?
49:36
I mean, I think they're in charge.
49:39
I think, you know, I did an episode several years ago
49:42
called the United States of Lockheed Martin.
49:46
Palantir might've taken over.
49:48
And if you know the ideological alignment
49:52
of the upper management of Palantir,
49:55
it's Zionist heavy and crazy.
50:01
I mean, I don't even know.
50:03
Describing Alex Karp as crazy is a wild understatement.
50:11
The sort of chaotic thinking that you would find
50:18
of somebody who'd been up on a meth bender for four days
50:23
and you sat him down and said,
50:26
tell me how you would deal with this war in Ukraine.
50:30
Listening to Alex Karp talk about it.
50:32
The guy, you know, if those of you don't know,
50:33
he's got the crazy hair, he'll stand up on the chair.
50:36
He's suited out of his mind on all sorts of designer drugs
50:39
or maybe just run-of-the-mill cocaine,
50:41
but he's a madman.
50:45
But not in like a charming, like cutesy kind of way,
50:50
not in a Palmer-lucky kind of
50:55
Hawaiian shirt and flip-flop sort of way
50:58
or anything like that.
51:00
He's like a legit crazy person.
51:04
Like a person who needs to be institutionalized.
51:08
And he is the CEO of Palantir
51:10
and Palantir is basically running this now.
51:13
So imagine this, if you will.
51:19
One of, you know, a disgusting for some of the United States
51:27
Pentagon, the Israeli IDF DARPA and Palantir
51:34
all four working together.
51:36
Cause that's what this would be.
51:38
I mean, I think defense technology cooperation
51:41
on this level would qualify as treason, right?
51:47
I don't know, maybe that line is blurred
51:51
when you're talking about corporations
51:53
and not people or whatever.
51:57
And by the way, for the record,
51:58
not that I get weepy eye about treason
52:00
or anything like that, you know,
52:02
like the number one crime against the state
52:05
or anything like that.
52:06
But for those who do consider treason
52:10
to be sort of a big thing,
52:12
you don't think this would be one of those instances
52:14
where you say, I believe that you are conspiring
52:18
with the foreign government to overthrow our government
52:21
in some way, shape or fashion
52:23
because you're wanting to actively fuse the Israeli military
52:30
with the United States military.
52:31
Those are two things that are incompatible.
52:34
This is not a you got your chocolate
52:36
in my peanut butter situation here.
52:39
We're all gonna die if this happens.
52:43
In a world where the IDF is now incorporated
52:46
into the United States military,
52:49
it won't be long before these data centers
52:51
are being used by them to track people like us
52:55
and put us into the migrant camps,
53:00
the facilities that ICE built, you know, for us.
53:05
Not for the migrants.
53:06
I mean, if it was for the illegals,
53:09
they would have already been in there, right?
53:11
We'd be like processing it look like El Salvador, right?
53:18
Like that prison.
53:20
No, no, we're not seeing any of that.
53:22
There's nothing going on.
53:23
Not yet, but if the IDF is involved,
53:27
they'll weaponize the ADL
53:29
and the Southern Poverty Law Center
53:30
and next thing you know,
53:31
they'll just be ratting all of us out.
53:34
We'll be getting one-way trips to these camps.
53:39
I mean, you think I'm kidding,
53:45
but that's how it happens.
53:48
It's incremental.
53:50
It's not one-day tanks are on the corner,
53:52
but they're gonna legalize this first.
53:57
I mean, they've already legalized in Texas
54:01
and some other states.
54:02
If you want to work with the state of Texas,
54:05
you have to sign some pledge
54:07
that you're not gonna be involved
54:08
in the Boycott of Investment and Sanctions, BDS.
54:13
You're not gonna criticize Israel.
54:15
This is in Texas.
54:16
It's not Tel Aviv.
54:18
Jesus Christ.
54:19
So basically, nobody trusts the American Empire right now
54:23
and, you know, if they ever did,
54:25
but especially now.
54:27
And we've got the rise of BRICS Plus
54:29
in a multipolar world.
54:31
You have challengers to the empire.
54:34
We've, you know, the death of the Petrodollar recently,
54:38
the rise of the Petro Yuan,
54:41
the potential for a Petro Bitcoin
54:44
or something along the line, something crypto,
54:50
unthinkable two decades ago,
54:53
would have got you invaded immediately
54:55
if you started to talk about
54:58
maybe sort of coming off the Petrodollar arrangement.
55:02
Among other things, Gaddafi had that coming to him
55:05
from the empire for wanting to do things differently.
55:11
But also, you know, the empire has just lost
55:14
a lot of respect globally.
55:16
It's just not what it used to be.
55:18
It used to be, you know, respected and feared,
55:22
you know, feared by certain people,
55:25
but respected, admired, in fact, by a lot.
55:30
Those days are over.
55:32
That's why it feels like, you know,
55:34
it's like we did a tight 250 years.
55:38
Let's just wrap it up.
55:39
You know, maybe not America itself,
55:41
but like definitely let's lose the carcass, you know,
55:50
the parasite has finally killed the host, you know?
55:53
Like let's shed that exoskeleton
55:55
that is the American empire that's no longer needed.
55:59
It's just what's happened, unfortunately.
56:02
You know, you import the third world,
56:04
you become the third world.
56:07
That's not even like a stretch.
56:10
That's just how it is.
56:14
Well, let's wrap up with some solutions.
56:16
I mean, this will be fun, I suppose,
56:19
because none of these are actually gonna happen,
56:20
but if they were serious about really doing things
56:25
differently, they would start building nuclear power plants.
56:31
I mean, they basically just did not allow
56:33
for nuclear energy to take hold.
56:37
For a variety of reasons, I'm sure oil,
56:40
the oil and gas industry had plenty to say about that,
56:44
but you cannot compete anymore
56:47
unless you have stable energy, consistent energy.
56:50
We can burn as much coal as we need to and we can
56:53
and we probably will, but you could put nuclear everywhere
57:01
and start like an entire industry doing that.
57:06
I doubt they'll do it.
57:07
You'd need a new grid as well,
57:09
but think about that as a re-imagining America.
57:14
If you said, all right, the American empire needs to end,
57:17
what do we do to fix America
57:19
to really make it great again?
57:21
You'd say, all right, well, since we now no longer
57:23
have to spend a trillion dollars a year on our military,
57:28
not that that wouldn't go down without a fight,
57:30
but theoretically, if you could take some of that money
57:34
towards doing other things,
57:35
you would definitely be able to,
57:38
if you invested in the infrastructure
57:40
of the United States, it probably would be,
57:43
well, first of all, it needs it.
57:44
So even if it wasn't a return on investment,
57:47
it just absolutely positively needs it.
57:52
But in doing that, you would generate a whole new set of,
57:59
it'd be like circular money.
58:01
It'd be keeping that money inside the United States
58:03
theoretically, as long as you're hiring people to work
58:09
locally inside, you could make it work
58:13
in a way that would be beneficial.
58:17
You could do the old-fashioned way that they did
58:22
back in the medieval times,
58:23
which is just cull 1% of the population yearly.
58:27
You know, I don't know, I don't think,
58:29
I think that's probably going to be unconstitutional.
58:32
Probably find some attorneys that will say,
58:34
you know, you cannot murder 3.5 million people per year.
58:39
And you say, yeah, you're right, you can't do that.
58:41
That would be horrible.
58:42
But you know, you all know that society
58:44
would work a whole lot better if they did it
58:47
like the way they did in the old days.
58:49
You know, because the 1% that was removed this year
58:52
would scare the hell out of everybody else.
58:55
But that's not going to happen.
58:57
You could, though, here's something
59:00
that actually could happen,
59:02
and since we've had Hakim Anwar on recently,
59:04
we canceled 90% of the data center projects.
59:08
That's doable, that's a fixable thing.
59:10
That's something that we just don't even need
59:13
to go down that path.
59:14
We know it's bad for us.
59:17
They can't sell it as jobs, as like a jobs program,
59:21
because there aren't enough people working there
59:22
once it gets built.
59:24
They can't sell it as a benefit to anybody
59:26
because nobody really knows what it's there for.
59:29
Make them, cut 90% out.
59:33
Whoever is already there,
59:34
make them provide their own power for it,
59:36
probably through nuclear somehow, right?
59:40
You could find ways to prevent this from happening,
59:45
but you'd also have to get rid of the people
59:48
who are getting bribed,
59:50
politicians who are making the decisions.
59:52
When you sit in that city council meeting
59:54
and there's eight city council people taking a vote
59:58
and they all vote in favor of the data center,
1:00:00
and the crowd is packed with a million people
1:00:02
that are shouting them down
1:00:04
and chasing them out of the building.
1:00:05
So you're obviously being paid.
1:00:08
You're either being paid or you're being threatened,
1:00:10
one or the other.
1:00:13
But it's not a problem that's unfixable.
1:00:17
You know what I mean?
1:00:17
You can make the data centers go away.
1:00:20
The ones that are already there, they're targets, of course.
1:00:23
You could make them go away,
1:00:25
make them economically unfeasible.
1:00:28
You can make future ones not happen.
1:00:33
One thing you could do
1:00:34
that would probably change everything
1:00:38
for the better, but it would be chaotic.
1:00:40
But you could end federal subsidies
1:00:41
for the farming industry
1:00:42
because that's really a big supporter of GMO corn.
1:00:46
A lot of the shit food that we have
1:00:48
is because the government subsidizes farmers
1:00:51
to grow shit food,
1:00:53
and they have really put their thumb on the scale
1:00:56
and there's no sort of real marketplace
1:01:02
in the food industry
1:01:04
that functions without the government's interference.
1:01:09
And ending these easing restrictions
1:01:13
on small and medium-sized farms would be a huge step
1:01:16
that would cost you nothing to do.
1:01:22
And just get honest about our relationship.
1:01:28
You know, the government's job
1:01:30
is not to subsidize food makers.
1:01:33
Where does it say that in any sort of documentation
1:01:35
about what the government is supposed to do?
1:01:38
It doesn't need to do that.
1:01:41
So that's a fixable problem.
1:01:44
Here's another one.
1:01:45
Police have body cameras on
1:01:48
and they like to turn them off from time to time.
1:01:52
But what if you just made them wear 24-7
1:01:55
and you made them carry personal insurance?
1:01:58
So if they shoot somebody
1:02:01
because they thought they're grabbing their taser
1:02:04
but they had their gun
1:02:06
and they put a hole in a guy,
1:02:09
then they pay, their insurance company pays
1:02:13
or they have to pay their insurance.
1:02:14
I mean, there's a private way to do this
1:02:16
where they're forced to carry their own policy.
1:02:20
Because as it stands right now,
1:02:21
there's no accountability.
1:02:22
When some cop does this, what happens is
1:02:25
maybe they get fired.
1:02:27
Again, the Daniel Shaver case, right?
1:02:29
Maybe they get fired,
1:02:31
but they collect a lifetime of pension.
1:02:36
They get unemployment.
1:02:37
They get all kinds of weird benefits
1:02:41
that they shouldn't get.
1:02:43
And the people pay the bill.
1:02:46
You know, it doesn't come from the police department.
1:02:48
It should come from the insurance.
1:02:49
I mean, there's ways to do this
1:02:50
so that the cops are held accountable.
1:02:52
I'll tell you another thing.
1:02:54
You cost nothing to do.
1:02:56
All it takes is the president to make this happen
1:02:59
and he could do it overnight
1:03:00
if he wanted to, which he won't.
1:03:02
And civil asset forfeiture.
1:03:06
Did you know more property is taken
1:03:13
through civil asset forfeiture than burglaries
1:03:18
and not just a little bit more.
1:03:19
Like 40% more.
1:03:22
It's a staggering statistic.
1:03:24
The police are stealing from the people.
1:03:28
They're stealing from them intentionally.
1:03:31
It's in their budgets.
1:03:32
They account for this every year.
1:03:34
They plan to have a certain amount of money
1:03:36
from civil asset forfeiture.
1:03:39
And that is a whole episode in and of itself
1:03:43
which we have done here.
1:03:45
But like you get into,
1:03:47
you wanna talk about government frustration.
1:03:49
You get into situations where it's not you
1:03:52
trying to get your money back.
1:03:55
It's not you trying to get your gold necklace
1:03:58
and the $18,000 in cash that you had.
1:04:01
You were on your way to CarMax to buy a new car.
1:04:04
You ran a stop sign.
1:04:05
They pulled you over.
1:04:05
They thought it was drug money.
1:04:07
Took it, right?
1:04:09
You can't sue to get it back.
1:04:12
The lawsuit looks like this.
1:04:15
It is the state of Colorado
1:04:17
versus a gold chain, $20,000
1:04:21
and a Rolex watch or whatever the thing is, right?
1:04:25
And not you.
1:04:27
It's the items versus the state.
1:04:29
It's bonkers.
1:04:31
Like you think I'm making that part up.
1:04:33
It's, I couldn't.
1:04:35
I couldn't make it.
1:04:36
It's so dumb I couldn't possibly make that up.
1:04:38
But that's how they have the system rig.
1:04:40
So it's not even you going to get your items back.
1:04:43
Like your items have to fight the government in court.
1:04:46
It's crazy.
1:04:48
You could end that overnight.
1:04:50
You could remove flock cameras
1:04:52
and you lose monitors in the UK,
1:04:55
all the ones that are testing for the smog, whatever.
1:05:01
In 1956, Eisenhower created the Interstate Highway System
1:05:07
and it needs updating, right?
1:05:10
Along with, you could do that.
1:05:12
You could just, there's plenty of projects
1:05:15
you could focus on.
1:05:17
Fix the ones that are currently there,
1:05:19
like the Interstate, the rail system, the ports,
1:05:24
the river ways for shipping and things like that.
1:05:30
It's not an impossible task, but who will build the roads?
1:05:35
They say without government, who will build the roads?
1:05:39
Who's building the roads now?
1:05:41
You know, they hire people to build.
1:05:43
I mean, it's the dumbest question,
1:05:46
but it's what everybody asks when it comes to government.
1:05:49
Who will build the roads?
1:05:51
Well, are you happy with the roads you've got right now?
1:05:54
Are you?
1:05:55
Because the only way you can get potholes filled these days
1:05:58
is by getting out there with a big can of white spray paint
1:06:02
and spray paint and huge dicks
1:06:04
and making it look like that.
1:06:06
And then they go and fill it up.
1:06:07
That's a tactic that I've learned works very well.
1:06:12
So for those of you graffiti artists
1:06:14
that know how to draw dicks very well,
1:06:18
find potholes and do that.
1:06:20
The city then, in wanting to get rid of the art
1:06:25
that you've created, then fills the potholes.
1:06:29
You could build economic free trade zones inside the US.
1:06:33
You could establish that immediately.
1:06:34
Again, it doesn't cost you anything except opportunity.
1:06:39
You could do that.
1:06:40
BRI, Built and Road Initiative for the USA,
1:06:43
instead of spending money giving it to USAID
1:06:48
or the Department of Defense,
1:06:50
what if you just use that to build infrastructure projects?
1:06:53
I know, I know, crazy, crazy,
1:06:55
crazy to do anything that would benefit the country.
1:06:57
But then it goes back to my thesis or my question,
1:07:02
do they know something we don't know?
1:07:05
Because if you do know something that we don't know,
1:07:07
there is no incentive to go fix the ports or the rails
1:07:10
or to fill that pothole.
1:07:14
But if we are going to continue on with this experiment,
1:07:18
well, then yeah, some of this low-hanging fruit
1:07:20
needs to be taken care of and it's easy to do.
1:07:23
It doesn't even require financial consideration
1:07:27
in some cases, just an ideological shift.
1:07:30
Just people waking up to this.
1:07:33
The American government is not looking for solutions
1:07:36
to problems that they don't think exist, right?
1:07:41
And denial is a very powerful emotion, works well.
1:07:46
The world's in denial about it.
1:07:49
They're about the scale and the scope of these problems.
1:07:53
So look, I mean, the way I see it is we're at the point
1:07:57
now where the people in positions of power
1:08:00
are stealing everything, including the silverware.
1:08:05
Grab a life jacket, whatever that looks like to you,
