Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hey, that are prep protognation. Holy crud. How's it going?
I hope you guys are all ready for a uh
interesting ride, shall we say? Guys, welcome to Prepper Talk Radio.
We got Scott, Shane and Paris in the house. How's
everybody doing today?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Awesome?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, we're gonna have an interesting show today. We're gonna
be diving into a lot of weird like like, take
the blinders off, pay attention to what's going on in
the world. We're gonna we're gonna be cracking open that
can of or that Pandora's box if you will, giving
a peek behind the scenes the Wizard. We're gonna expose
everything behind the curtain, so you know what's going on.

(00:42):
It's gonna be interesting. But if you want to sport
the show, here's what you gotta do. You gotta check
out this amazing side hustle we found. Guys, if you
want to make money work for you before all the
money in the world is gone, right, you need a
side hustle that works better than you do. And I've
made a two thousand dollars very very part time with

(01:03):
this just in the last few months. Go to Prepper
Talk Radio Dot com Forward slash Good Life. You can
thank me later. We have a coaching and mentoring program
that goes with it that we partnered with, and it's
the cleanest, healthiest nutritional supplements I've ever had, and my
health is way better because of it. So I'm grateful
that we found this. But as good as that is,

(01:24):
it's not as good as this show's going to be.
So buckle up, stay here with us. We're going to
dive into some seriously weird, weird stuff and we have
a list of over what one hundred and thirteen I
think items.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Now, well I'm up to one hundred and thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Now, Oh you went back to work after Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I kind of had to. And it's not done yet either. Oh,
so I guess what we're talking about today? You know,
this of course was my idea, you know, and I
didn't mention it in our last whatever last shows, maybe
the last live where I was sitting down just riding
a list of all the ways that we're screwed, you know,

(02:04):
the things that have Oh, what's the right way to
put have power over us? That we can't really do
much about directly, but we can indirectly for ourselves and
our own lives, right, But but things that are working
against us, uh, typically pretty big things, is what I've
got on my list here. And uh, I would think

(02:28):
most of you, or let me say many of you
who are regulars, are probably aware of most of these
these things. We're not going to have time to go
through over the entire list, right, We've each just gone
through my list and and picked out a few things
that for me hot topics, uh, that are hot today

(02:48):
right now, that are that are in the news, that
I'm hearing about all the time, and that are really
I guess more personal to me as well, that I
want to make sure to share and to raise a
warning voice and you know and say danger, danger, Will Robinson.
You know these things which may seem copacetic on the

(03:09):
surface but are not right. So that's where things get
dangerous when you don't see the danger right. And so
part of my role, as I guess a bigger brother,
you could say, I'm one of the older brothers. We're
five brothers, and uh, when we go out treasure hunting

(03:30):
or venturing or caving or whatever, I'm the one. I'm
the safety guy. And so that's the role I've put
on myself first and last out and so that's where
it comes from, where I'm coming from. So you guys
understand m hm.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's funny because when you said we're five brothers, I
was like, when you started talking brothers, I was like,
and then he's like.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Pus, you guys my family plus brothers.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Not his podcast, and then started talking safety, and I
started thinking, Dude, my little brother is the rigging expert
in our family, but he's also the craziest one. Like
he will do the most dangerous stuff the safest possible way,
like you really eliminate as much risk as possible, but

(04:17):
still he'll be like ten thousand feet be low us
sharp rocks at the bottom. Cool, let's go, right, he'll
do it.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
We're going over the waterfall. Yeah, yeah, let's go.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's that's that's my little brother. But like, as we're
looking at the world and as we're seeing these and
as I look through your list, and as I've thought
about this, like I did something to prepare myself. I
did some research. Besides just reading, studying rehashing the history,
I did some research. I've watched Terminator one, two, three, four,

(04:52):
and I'm halfway through number five, matching it with our
current timelines. No, I'm just kidding. I'm not matching it,
but like thinking about out everything in the media, that's
like hushing our minds so that all this stuff trickles
in and feels normal, right, the new normal now yep, yep.
I'm like looking at this, I'm like, whoa, that's there

(05:13):
that they've been planning this for thirty years. Oh, that's there.
They've been planning this one for eighty years. Oh that's there.
They've been planning this one for hundreds of years, right,
And it's like, I'm I'm a big, like education guy.
I before I moved to Utah and started real estate
and did prepper con and then I'll do this and
do the side hustle business, Like I was a college

(05:37):
administrator for a decade. I've got a bachelor's, I've got
a master's in business administration. I'm like, I geek. I
wanted to be a school teacher, but like I looked
at the system and I'm like, the system is broken.
This was back in two thousand and two. I was
like this, We're so screwed, Like this is all broken.
And I read a book called The Dumbing Down of America.

(06:00):
I talked about it before, but like, dude, like.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's not just broken, bro, it's it's on purpose built skiwampus.
It's like a Potemkin village, you know. The this facade
of this is what everybody here, look at this, look
at this. But and behind that facade, it's like the
evil overlords.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Almost interesting too. It is like they keep presenting data saying,
look how good we're doing, but they skew the statistics
and pull up irrelevant data to show you, oh, look
how good this is. Right, it's data that actually doesn't
point to anything. It's just garbage. It's it's not even truth,
not even light. It's just garbage. And we like, and

(06:44):
that's just a teeny tiny bit of what we're going
to talk about today. You guys are over here smiling.
I got to turn the chat back on over here
so I can see this.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, I was gonna say, I feel like Paris is
the young broad and we all look after Hey, somebody's
got to look after me.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Why not?

Speaker 4 (07:01):
But I was just gonna say, you talked about the
different statistics that have come out. I mean, they just
have the Fed, the Fed just Jerome Powell just came
out and talked about whether or not they were going
to lower the rate or increase the rate, and they're
holding steady. But the day after the unemployment rates came
out and they were abysmal, they were absolutely ridiculous. And

(07:21):
the day before they're like, oh, yeah, everything looks great,
everything's wonderful, everything's great. And then the real numbers come
out and frankly, I say real numbers in quotes. My
screen is not big enough to do the whole thing.
The real numbers come out the next day, on August first,
and it's like tens of thousands of jobs created, less
than what they thought were supposed to be created. And

(07:43):
now there's a ninety four percent chance that they're going
to lower the rate. And Trump fires the Department of
Labor's chief guy, and so that when the numbers really
come out, they're like, dude, why are you lowering the rate. Well,
there's the whole thing with inflation. If they lower the rate,
that could affect inflation. But the jobs came out, so
they need.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
To lower it.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
But if they do, then they might Anyways, there's a
whole there's a whole thing, and part of the whole
balancing act that they talk about I think is part
of their game.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Do we really need to have a balancing act? We
just lower the rate.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
And just go for it, Like, you know, it's just
I understand that there's consequences to every action, but at
the same time, it's like these guys are playing games
with us.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah. So I guess the items on the list that
you guys pick would have been education system. So here's
a quick glimpse at my enormous list here, education system
And what would you what would you throw a title
or tab on your on.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Your like I picked that. Sorry, little brother of all
of us, we have to protect Paris.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Well, I was just thinking, right, just with that comment
that I just made the economic system, and you know.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
The whole political.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
It's not because what I the job market inflation to
fed that's not like the stock market. It's it's but
it's it will eventually trickle down to the stock market
if we're not careful with thats right. I don't know
what mine would be specifically on that, but it's definitely.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Everything is made up. Everything is fake. Yeah, that's one
of the things on my list is it's fake. And
that's what Trump came out and said, is this, Oh
these are these are fake numbers? This is this, you know,
and I think they're more correct than fake, you know.
And so you just can't trust anything that's coming out there.
I read a report selling it. What's that he's so good.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
At selling it?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Of course?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Fake news, fake numbers, you're fake canceled, right, It's just
he's what is he? He's a glorified salesman, like he's
a realtor. What's their job to sell you a lipstick
covered pig?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
The art of the deal?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
The art of the deal, like keep going, oh.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Okay, so again part of my huge list the things
I picked five things that are I think we all
really need to be aware of right now and avoid them,
like the plague. And of course part of this is
some of my opinion, like for example, stable coins, right
CBDC stable coins, there are people who are making money

(10:18):
at it. Yeah, no doubt. Personally, I won't touch him, right,
I mean, it's it's it's a trojan horse, is really
what it is and what I see, and you know,
we can go into detail, but then I think maybe
what we should do is just try and go through
as many as possible and touch on them lightly. So
that it sparks your interest people's interests, and they say, well,

(10:41):
why is Shane concerned about stable coins? Why he is
he concerned about cbdc's. I could talk you know, all
day about that. I know you don't want to hear that,
so hopefully you'll say you'll you'll see what we're talking
about and then start to look down the rabbit hole
for yourselves. But yeah, essentially stable coins, I will I
won't touch them. I mean, if if it comes down

(11:04):
to it, where and the system the legislation that was
set up is essentially to me, it seems like, oh,
eventually the company Shane works for is going to pay
him in his company coins, which will be backed by
US dollars. Right, He's got to go buy a US
treasury used to back those, and then who knows how
they're going to be used? Right, It's like it's like

(11:24):
the like the company's store. Right, So I've got to
prepare and setting myself up so that i can say
no if and when that time comes.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So it's interesting you brought up that the company's coin,
the company's store. Doesn't that sound just like the Industrial
revolution when there's nothing you could buy except for what
was available in the company store. The miners would come
out of the mine, they get buried, you get paid, Yeah,
they's got that. You'd come out and they'd be given
a piece of paper, and then their wife would go
to the little convenience store that was owned by the mine,

(11:56):
and prices would have gone up because their sales didn't
go as much as they wanted to, or they're cold
and sell for as much as they wanted to. And
you don't actually own the home that you live in,
your tenant and you get to live there discounted because
you work there. And if the husband dies, guess who's
evicted the wife and kids? Right, Like, doesn't that sound

(12:17):
exactly like what they're going to do with fifteen minute cities?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah? Right, yeah, absolutely, That was the number one I
do on my list.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Like, I looked at all of your things and I
was like going through it. I'm like, dude, fifteen minute cities,
Fort Knox, AI, Cognitive diminishment, prog right surveillance, so twenty
two to twenty three surveillance, twenty four digital ID fifty seven,
predatory lending fifty eight, student loans, sixty four educational system

(12:47):
like all of these everything the craziest thing is everything
on your list interconnects.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
And that's absolutely, absolutely true. And you know, I've been
seeing of course, Mike and feel Tech commented here about AI.
Uh it's being hyped is the greatest thing ever. It's
gonna create so much wealth. We won't know what to
do with it. But it is literally, like Mike says,
and film like, you know, it's it's it's it's gonna
be our downfall. It's gonna be It's my one of
my biggest concerns, what what is the first results of AI?

(13:16):
Right now? It's all these fake videos, fake contents, it
it's all these bots that right now you can kind
of tell, Okay, yeah that's fake. That's a I can tell,
or some have really blatant obviously, but shortly it won't be.
And in a lot of aspects it is impossible to
distinguish what the truth is and what's real and what's fake.

(13:40):
And so I just am extremely concerned about AI and
I have never touched it. I am doing my best
to not even ask it a question.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Well, what's interesting is that I I was one of
the things that I chose was I've just been seeing
a lot of things on my feet about different natural
disasters all over the world. So that was one thing
that that was one of the topics I chose.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
But related to AI.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
I actually saw when the hurt when the tsunami warning
came through and was on Hawaii and then the coast
of the West coast of the United States and alask
a little bit. There was somebody that created an AI
wave that hit like Santa Monica. I can't remember where
it was, and I was like, I showed my wife,
I'm like, look what the heck is happening down to,

(14:27):
you know, and and then all of a sudden it
was like, you know, I don't It was on Twitter.
And what's cool about Twitter is that you can actually
ask Groc. You know, I guess Grock is the AI
and so you reply and say at Groc, is this real?
And Groc says, no, this is not real. This is
an AI generated video. And I was like, it looked

(14:49):
like a real wave taken out of you know, some stuff,
and so it's like, what we can't even trust then
with the video pictures, videos, forget about like we're we're
all having to We're gonna have to have an underground
communication network where we're like, hey, guys, did this really
happen in your area? Now that didn't that didn't really happen. Okay, thanks,
you know, let's let's keep everybody on the now.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Well, what I can already start to see is that
I think it very quickly, it'll turn back to of course,
everything's gonna be run by AI. I mean, that's where
they're way they're setting it up. But it'll quickly turn
back to where the things that are real will be
a premium, right, they will be the most valued because eventually,

(15:32):
and I think very quickly, people won't know how to
do anything. You know, They're letting AI and answer all
their questions. They don't even thinking for themselves. And I
think that's really the point of AI, or one of
the one of the purposes of AIS is. And there
are groups who are working on the you know, the
superintelligence so they can worship it and so they can

(15:55):
make all the all their important decisions.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well you think of that, and we actually laugh for
like worshiping and AI. But like, when you use AI,
you're asking AI to help you. How is that any
different than praying to God?

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Absolutely, you're asking some device to give you the answers. Right,
We're so programmed that we go to Google to search
for things first, Right, and now the world's being taught
to go to Google AI or Gronk or Alexa or
like whatever device to talk to them. Like my niece

(16:31):
and nephew their house, they have Alexa, and Alexa listens
all the time. Like, I won't allow that stuff in
our house. I don't allow any listening devices in our house.
But I'm like, our phones are listening all the time,
and I don't have to turn those off. Right, Maybe
I'm gonna have to set up a little bit of
bag bag far day and everything else, like just completely

(16:54):
deaden them. But I'm like, I want to go back
to a regular landline for all phone use, Like I.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Just want to even have those anymore.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I don't think it's even available. So you have to
go fiber optic or something.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's yeah, nowadays you have to go pretty much fiber
optic and depending on where you live. But there are
areas where they have old fold lines where you can
connect that way. But I'm like, at least that way
you can unplug it. And how's it listen?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Right?

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Well, I was listening to a guy talking about the
medical ramifications of all this, And he was talking about
studies have been showing that the hippocampus, which is our
ability to process memory, remember things and critical think critically,
the hippocampus is shrinking and it's not it's taking it
really affecting our ability to do things that we used

(17:43):
to be able to do, for example, find our way
without GPS, or remember phone numbers like I remember, I
used to have, you know, ten to fifteen phone numbers memorized.
Now I barely have my own phone number of memorized,
you know. And so it's that kind of capacity is
you know, there was there's guys that you could go
talk to a guy who has the story. He could

(18:04):
tell you a story for I think Jordan Peterson actually
talked about the guy who created that totem pole thing
for him that and he do you remember that story
that he talked about. Anyways, he he talked about this
guy who had no he was illiterate, but he could
tell you stories about the history of his people back
hundreds of years and he memorized and had all this

(18:25):
in his memory. Well, today we don't even remember what
we had for dinnerity it yesterday practically, let alone hundreds
of years of cultural history, and there's I mean, my
kids were talking, we were joking about how this is
one of these influencers. They were asking questions about the
average person on the on the street. You know, do
you know what the capital of you know, the country is,

(18:47):
or do you how many how many countries are there,
how many continents are there?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
And they didn't have a clue.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
These were college aged kids off the street that were
asked these questions, and none of them had any real
education about what was really going on in the world.
And it's like, what is going on with our that's
literally the dumming down of America.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah. Well, another aspect to that is I had on
the list is the dead Internet. If you heard of
the dead Internet theory, it's supposed that by like twenty sixteen,
twenty seventeen, the Internet was already so so how what's
the right word, so so clouded, so crowded with algorithms
and just marketing and bots and such that you couldn't

(19:28):
really get any real information right before that, you know,
it's internet started about in ninety three forward. There was
just a plethora of things you could find and now
it's all algorithms, right, You're fed what they want you
to see. And so that's why it's considered it really
a dead internet, is you're just not going to get

(19:50):
you know truth. I mean, when it comes down to it,
that's really what I see. You're just not going to
get it. So the Internet was an amazing thing for
a long time. Now it's just a tool, just like
you know, like everything else we've been doing. Listen to this.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
So John McCarthy, founder of AI, said that back in
two thousand and nine, the AI will technologically bottomized humans
within two generations. And it's funny because like listening to
is it the guy that used to do dirty jobs
micro listening to him speak all over the world, mostly

(20:30):
all over America. He's always talking about how the whole
world's like pushing cybersecurity, pushing coding and all these other things,
and it's like those jobs are being replaced by AI
right now. Right, get into hand tratical trades.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I was watching a video just the other day and
they were talking about the problem with They call him
digital bought banks. I think that's what they called them. Basically,
you'll have to try to find it again. But basically,
they had all these phones, they'd plug it, they'd set

(21:09):
all these phones in these little banks, and they'd plug
each phone into this computer, and the computer would use
the interface with all the phones to like follow and
share specific content online. And they showed you how one
of the banks set up, and then they zoomed out
to show that what the room looked like. There were

(21:30):
over three thousand banks of phones. Each bank of phones
was like twenty phones.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, and I'm like, well, it's a fact that over
fifty percent of the Internet content right now, the Internet
interactivity is bots. Yeah, and within a few years it'll
be I think by thirty or twenty twenty thirty, it'll
be over ninety percent.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
So Joseph is like, humans are already the bottomized.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
You're not wrong, you're not wrong.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
There are definitely some specimens to prove that point.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Well. And another thing on my list change in the
topic that is helped to lobotomize people are the pharmaceuticals.
Oh yeah, right, that's top on my list because I
see it every day. I mean, it's, uh, these pharmaceutical
com And this is where we got to be really
careful because if we you know, that's one of the
first things we'd get hit with with is medical misinformation. Right,

(22:25):
that's talk about lemons, right, so lemons right.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
So yeah, well dude, we're gonna get canceled bro for
saying that.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Hey, that's that. That's all right, I'm good with that anyway.
The the they are mind altering, right, they they are trying.
I'm searching for the right words here right there. It's
just all for profit. It's uh, they're drugs. They are
not medicine, right, food is medicine, herbs or medicine. They

(22:55):
are drugs and they are made for for a That's
really what it comes down to, is uh. And we
could I could keep going on forever, but I'm really
trying to be very careful with my words.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Well, that's that's a huge one. That pharmacy, pharmachia. You
know that pharmachia. Pharmaceutical comes from the word pharmacia, which
is Greek for sorcery. And so that's where it boils
down to, is the Yeah, the old ancient apothecaries and
the witchcraft that goes into that kind of stuff. So
I don't want to get too weirded out for those

(23:29):
who may not have gone down the rabbit hole as
far as as others of us. But there's some definite
reasons and one of the Scott, I'm gonna give it
to you, but I I definitely want to one of
the questions that I would one of the topics I
picked was robotics, So I want to kind of go
back to that after Scott's comment, So go ahead. So
one of my buddies, he does a YouTube channel in

(23:50):
finance and investing, and he and I talk as well,
and he was talking to me about how his he's
really excited about about investing in Amazon, and I was like,
tell me a little bit about what's going on, and
I watched one of his videos and then we talked
over the phone and he's like, bro, think about it.
Every one of their warehouses is going to have a

(24:11):
robot working in there instead of human beings. They don't
have to pay overtime, they don't have to pay healthcare,
they don't have to pay any of those things, he says,
think about I mean, of course he's thinking it as
an investor. Think about all of the money they're going
to be making and the profits that they're going to
have over the next several years. Is they roll out
all these robots, and he's like, yeah, some of the

(24:32):
robots fall down and do weird stuff, and some robots
actually are There's another company apparently that was their advertisement
was for robots, but somebody did some research and found
that it was actually remote controlled by somebody, so it
wasn't an autonomous robot. But he says, but Amazon is
leading the way on autonomous robots and they have actually

(24:53):
got He was telling me about another company I think
it was Amazon as well, and they have like two
hundred and fifty thousand uber kind of rides. I don't
know what the name of their company is, but they
take they pick people up and they drive them to
their location, all completely robotically. And he says, if once
Amazon perfects the robotic industry and they get all their
robots going in in their warehouses, their profits are going

(25:16):
to really cruise. And I'm just like, yeah, bro, but
you're not thinking about the other side of this. You know,
all the people that are getting laid off, the job problems.
I mean, yeah, Amazon might have some great profits, but shoot,
that's going to affect the economy in a really big way.
I don't know how many people work for Amazon but
imagine if they laid off half their workforce. And there's
another company recently they just laid off a bunch of people.

(25:38):
But this whole AI and robotics things like, it's it's scary, dude.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
So my wife was in is in she was in
New York. Now she's in LA and for business s trip.
And what's interesting is their food delivery was a little robot.
A robot came and delivered food to their to where
they were and they had to go outside and eat it,
punch in their code. It opened up and they grab

(26:03):
their groceries. Yeah, la, right, same things happening in New York.
Autonomous drones whether they're on land or sea or whatever
where like in the air, who knows what all is
going on and what we're actually seeing, right is just
a tip of it. Depending on where you live. And
what is that promoting? Also, it's promoting fifteen minute cities. Oh, convenience,

(26:27):
You're gonna have everything you need right here. Oh you
lost your job, that's okay, you can come move into
the city. We'll provide a job for you, or we'll
provide an income for you. You just have to subscribe
to all of our services. Right by being part of
the city. And it's it's it's sneaky because what's happening
with our younger generations, that's all they're growing up with. Yeah,

(26:49):
so this is this is the cool new norm, right,
They've been lobotomized. They're just like, well, this is what
they're gonna do for us, let's do it and.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Go ahead. But I was gonna say, well, think of
when probably at least thirty years ago, when uh they
were they were talking about gene editing, and.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
And uh.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
When when the era of the sheet cloning uh started up,
and how much controversy there was about that, right about
manipulating human engineering usually what it is, you know, like crisper,
and now it's like nobody talks about it. It's it's
all the all the norm, and it's perfectly acceptable. I

(27:37):
mean not to everybody obviously, but it's it's like no
big deals become the norm. And that's kind of what
this list is. All these things have have been forced
upon us and we have to accept them, and they're
as if they're just normal. So along those same lines
in your robotics and I'm talking too much about the
hands here, so I'll calm down a little bit. But

(27:58):
U transhumanism, right, cybernetics, biodigital convergence. I mean, that's what
neuralink is, and there are there's more than just neuralink
out there. They they the powers that be, those who
have the money, those who have to control. That's what
the word they means, right, That's who they are, those
who can force their will onness because of their money

(28:20):
and their power, their influence, their agenda. Are wanting to
perfect humanity, uh and fix all our problems, which is
you know, is antichrist. It's anti God. It's anti humanity,
is what it is. It's pure evil. But the way

(28:42):
they advertise it, the way they promote it is, oh,
we can imagine someone who's handicapped, it can help them, yeah,
you know, And that's that's the way it gets our
get It's just in the fields, right, So well, this
person can now with their mind can operate the lights
in the house, in the computer and browsing, and it

(29:02):
can now do more to take care of himself, so everybody,
he's not having to do that, right, that's how it's
being promoted. But very dangerous again, slippery slope, which most
of these items are slippery slope items, And.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
It's like, it's interesting counts all ties together, right, because
like AI robotics, all these automations that completely eliminate the
need of human right human interactions. It reduces quote human error. Oh,
it allows someone in a disability situation, allows them to
feel more quote human right because it's an artificial connection.

(29:42):
What's interesting is is like, when is the last time
education taught critical thinking?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Right? Eighteen? Who knows it wasn't taught.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
In the last since nineteen I think it was nineteen
forty seven is when it was pulled out of educational systems.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Critical happening. I had a class.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
I had a critical thinking class when I was in
college and that was in the.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm talking about high school.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Oh, I don't remember non college.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
High school and Kate like K through twelve. Here's what's interesting.
In the eighteen forties, eighteen thirties, eighteen fifties, like education
was privatized, still privatized. It wasn't the state's responsibility, it
wasn't the federal responsibility. As soon as it became a
state and federal responsibility, guess what happened? Eighth grade for us?

(30:38):
Eighth grade is actually eighteen forties higher education than a
college graduate today.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Interesting, that is how far backwards we've gone. And they
change the analytics every year, and they changed the statuses
every year to say, oh, no, no, no, we have
to make it easier for everybody. The impoverished kids, they
need the same like we need a level of playing
field for everyone. Right, So we're gonna make it easier
for everybody to learn. So we're our standards have gotten lower.

(31:12):
It's now the gifted kids or the kids who want
to learn more, who are hungry. They're being dumbed down
as well. No critical thinking, right. They completely remove creativity
and replace it with a rope memorization, facts, statistics, things
that they can control, manipulate and tell you exactly what
you need to know. You used to have selection by school,

(31:33):
what books you wanted educated. Now it's selectioned by some
committee in Washington, d C. The schools don't have control anymore,
the districts don't have control anymore. And it's all based
on where's the money coming from.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
And of course Crump throws out there, or we're gonna
get rid of the education system there the department, yeah,
Department of Education, not the education system. That'd be great too.
But and then everybody's like, hey, Trump, we need to
do that, And what's happened? Nothing?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Absolutely, just like Fort Knox, did we ever hear what happened?

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
They investigate? They were going to investigate February and March,
that's all they talked about. We're going to go to
Fort Knox. We're gonna we're going to prove whether the
gold's there or not. We need to know. Did you
ever hear in the news if anything happened? May twenty fifth,
they announced in a non like and one of the

(32:26):
smallest news networks out there, just digitally Trump had the
visit completed, All the audit was completed, and there's nothing missing.
Everything's accounted for. That's all it said. Didn't say how much,
didn't say anything. That's the whole article.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, that's that's a lie. Well you're still talking about this.
Why are you still talking about this? Stile news? What
are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
You know, that's what they expect, that's what they hope.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
They think.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
They think that if they inundate us with so many
different things that they're going to do, that we'll forget
about the last thing.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
That they did.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
I mean, there was a there was a whole thing
that came up, Like what's the best thing that happened
to the the cup the CEO couple that was having
an affair at the Coldplay concert. It was the Sydney
Sweeney ad. So it's just the next thing to keep
us distracted and after what's what's after Sidney Sweeney?

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
That's we'll see what happens next, right, to keep us down,
the keep us you know, in the circus of Hey,
you just entertain the masses and the circus. And I
wanted to talk a little bit about transhumanism myself. Actually,
it's interesting that you picked that too, Scott because or Shane.
I can't remember which one you mentioned it, but transhumanism.

(33:40):
I was talking to a guy years ago about transhumanism
and I was just like, are you kidding me? This
is I mean, how many videos futuristic videos? I know
the Mandalorian had a bunch of scenes where these kids
would actually modify themselves to be able to see better, leap, jump,
better run, faster, lift things like. There was a whole
thing and so like I get it if you were

(34:00):
in the military and had you lost a limb because
you served and you were you know, or you had
some kind of accident or you lost a limb and
they need a prosthetic. But at some point, I feel
like people are gonna cut their limbs off to get
a better prosthetic. And I was talking to this guy
years ago. He's like, yeah, I think I think that's
what God wants us to do. And I'm like, er,

(34:21):
God made us perfect the way he made us, like
he did, Yeah, but he gave us just technology so
we can make ourselves better, Like I don't think that's
what he meant.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
In that same camp, they're like, oh yeah, my cousin's
wife's getting been getting into it for the last seven years.
She's like, we're going to completely overhaul how our bodies
work and think can do right. And she's all about
micro chip. She's like, yeah, let's get processors put into
our joints help fix everything right. And she's like all
about it, and I'm like, wow, we're medical miracles, right, right.

(34:55):
You talked about Mandalorian and you're like this is relatively
a new thing. No, you guys remember the Ionic Woman and.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
The million dollar Man, six million dollar man.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Six million dollar man. Right back in the day. Those
were huge TV shows when we were little little kids.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
To bring in the cybernetics and the transhumanism and.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Right, so it's not something that's new, it's something that's
been planned and orchestrated for a long time.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
And robo cops another perfect example of that.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Right, And then they why do they go ahead and
reboot that again? Like they've rebooted that three times now,
like all these things keep getting rebooted. Terminator is getting rebooted.
Why to try to normalize things, to try to get
us to think about things more and more and say, yeah, yeah,
let's do that.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Right, that's right. They have their agenda.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
To organize and coordinate what their next strike is on humanity. Right,
because at the end of the day, all of this,
what is this for. It's for control, It's to reduce population,
which is on the list. Right, to force us into
choosing a work camp. That's what a fifteen mint minute
city is. We're choosing what work camp we want. Preppers

(36:08):
are all like, don't trust FEMA, don't go to a
FEMA camp. Right, What how is that any different than
a fifteen minute city force into a small type space,
a free city where you have your free apartment, where
you have free access.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
See that's also where you know I've got you know,
electrification on the list. Evs are on the list, And
this' all fit into that fifteen min minute city agenda, right.
They can control things, they can turn them on and
off if if you're using too much energy, get us
off of fossil fuels using the air quotes, which there's

(36:46):
no such thing. Again, another thing on the on the
long list. But yeah, it's it's really never ending. And
of course I could, I could change topics here if
you're you're done there, Scott.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Well, and what's funny is you brought up EV like
China has like kilometers and kilometers and kilometers like square
kilometers of just EV vehicles sitting around in their dumps
because there's no way to dispose of the batteries and
the technologies. But no one wants to buy them, right,
the infrastructure doesn't support them, and so they're just sitting there, right,

(37:22):
So what what are the cities going to do? Instead?
We'll look at California's doing. They're doing their electric rail.
They're sup they're super trained from San Francisco or whatever
down in La That's just one example. Right, We used
to have electric cars in the United States that were
sweet back in the nineteen thirties and forties, Like we

(37:47):
had steam engines and then we had electric cars dropped in.
We had an electric trolley system here in Salt Lake
City that was state of the art, and they took
it all out, and not even one hundred years later,
what do they do. They put it all back in
with new technology that's less efficient, more prone to break down,

(38:07):
more costly, and it just causes more and more problems.
So what are we learning about everything? It's controlled and
planned obsolescence of what we're used to and us.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
I want to talk about something that I saw this
read last week that's along the lines of you'll own
nothing and be happy.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
There was a billboard in Las Vegas. I'm pretty sure it.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Was Las Vegas that said new homes for rent, like
built newly new builds. My brother, my son in law,
who is an electrician, he's training, he's going to get
his journeyman license here pretty soon. He's an electrician and
they're doing all kinds of new builds up in this

(38:57):
in northern Utah County, southern Salt Lake County and they're
doing a bunch of neighborhoods where they're putting in all
the electric will work for it. And he said that
all of those houses that are going in, none of
them are going to be sold. They're all going to
be rented, and they're all new builds. And so it's
like from Vegas to Salt Lake to you know, And

(39:19):
that's Lehigh that's kind of the northern Utah County is
Silicone Slopes they call it. So it's the you know,
a playoff Silicon Valley from the from the San Francisco
area and Silicone Slopes because of the mountains the slopes
get it by. Anyways, the point is is that if
that's happening in our state, in California, in Nevada, like

(39:40):
somewhere in your state wherever you're listening this from, I
bet you there's something going on similar to that where
they've got a bunch of new builds going in that
are not for sale, that are just for rent only.
And so that's that to me was another that was
like a clear sign that they're definitely headed towards you'll
own nothing and be happy and.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
You'll probab able to see black Rock black Stone behind
those as well. Well.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
That's what like ninety percent of the homes or liveable
units in Salt Lake City. The construction has been high
rise rentals, and they're along the rail tracks, the electric
up and down the I fifteen corridor, and they build
those and then they put in grocery stores near them

(40:26):
in walking distance and everything else within walking distance. So
that and then they don't put in enough parking for
you to have more than two vehicles per household, and
a lot of times more than one vehicle per household
because they want you trapped. And what's happening, everyone's just

(40:47):
going along with it. And that's just in Salt Lake City, Utah. Guys.
This is happening nationwide. If you go to a major metropolis,
watch and see where all the new homes are being built,
where all the complexes are. It's high density units in
spaces that used to be residential communities, and they're just

(41:07):
wiping them out, replacing them and just gutting our current systems.
Things that gave us freedom, the a believe to have
a garden in our guard. Now you don't even have
a guard.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Where the townhouse is going up like crazy in my city,
and my city is a good old boy area, and
there's a lot of pushback, but it's still.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Going up right because your city council has sold you
guys out.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
That's what's happening all across the country, all across the world.
Like I look at look back at Shane's list, like,
what are the other things are happening? Predatory lending? Interest
rates are so high, inflation is so high. It's making
it impossible to buy a home right for so many people.
But if you do qualify, you get these loans. They're
so so predatory that you're like, how am I ever

(41:52):
going to pay this off?

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
And sorry, this is blowing me away. These guys are
the guys are Mike and them are telling me the Okay,
check this out. The largest data center in the US
is coming to this rural county in Utah to Fillmore.
The largest data center in the US is coming to Fillmore, Utah.

(42:15):
I'm blown away.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Nowhere.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah, I went, I was down there yesterday, but that
I'm gonna have to look into that. Thanks guys. That's yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
What's the biggest thing in Fillmore? It was Maverick.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Well, there's the cheese plant down there, right, but even that, like.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
What happened, what happened in Eagle Mountain. Eagle Mountain was
nothing we can afford to live there. Facebook data center
has how many data center buildings out there? I think
it's it's gonna be bigger than Facebook.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
And even the even the NSA is out there.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
N s A is in uh In Uh.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Well, it's between Lehigh and Eagle Mountains.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Well, it's on the way.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
I I was I out to Eagle Mountain the other day,
or Sarasota Springs, anyways, it was and I saw the
data center up on the hill.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Well, and how many people of how much water is
the NSA using? They're the largest user of water in
the state of Ullion.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Doallons a day now to.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Think about this? In Idaho, similarly happening. They're opening up
these data centers and they're taking all the water rights
from the farmers and the ranchers, people who've been creating
food for us for hundreds of years. They're being told
one day they have water, the next day, and from

(43:38):
then then and on they only get ten percent of
the water they had or none, and they have to
buy back water because all the water's going to strip
mining and data centers. Is that normal just to Utah
and Idaho? No, It's happening all over North Carolina. It's happening.
It's happening in Georgia. It's happening all over the United States.
And why aren't we hearing about it? Because it's being suppressed.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
It is. I'm blown away. It actually says, uh, the largest,
world's largest data center worlds.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Oh my god, there's world's largest data center. And who's
who's going to be the owner of it?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
It doesn't say black.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
The other thing, too, is that they're gott to have
the electricity. The grid's got to be big enough to
be able to provide that. Yeah, definitely water and other resources,
but the what what kind of grid are they going
to have to put in to be able? There's no
way a solar you know, farm.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Can feed that.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
There's no way a traditional even a traditional substation could
feed that. That's got to have a nuclear SMR you
know kind of a thing going on. That's like, as
far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
I'm blown away.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Mh.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Well, last thing I wanted to talk about.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Is debt perfect because that goes right into line with
a predatory len anymore.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Yeah, it's uh, it's blowing up. I mean it's there's
nothing changing. Uh, people's people, individual, family debt, commercially, you know, business, corporate, government,
it's all blowing up. It's not getting any better. There's
nothing changing. You know, there's no balanced budgets. It's there's

(45:23):
no responsibility. There's predatory lenders out there that's on mid list.
In addition to just debt, all these buy now, pay
later options which don't report it to credit score. I
think they're going to start you now. But it is
out of control, and it's it's like I said, it's predatory,

(45:46):
it is deceiving, it's uh, preying on people's emotions. And
this world is a consumeristic I could go on with
the Well, here's an interesting things, mind boggling.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Trump actually talked about this a little while ago. You
talked about the student debt issue. Right, all these private
schools and their lobbyists pushed the federal government to up
the student loan limits and up all these things and
also change how interest is done. Like when I went
to college, I was supposed to have been allowed to

(46:27):
be in state because I lived here long enough. And
then they changed the rules the week before I was
able to sign up for school, so I was no
longer grandfathered, and so I was considered out of state,
even though I lived here long enough to qualify, and
then all of a sudden, I didn't. What's interesting is
it should have cost me twenty four thousand dollars to
get my degree. It cost me sixty four thousand dollars

(46:48):
to get my degree. And by the time I paid
back my student loans. Yes, I finally paid those off
three years ago. I've been done with college since two
thousand and eight. I paid those off three years ago.
I paid more than eighty four one thousand dollars in
student loans.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Now think about how much school is today. These kids
that are going into college and the parents have taken
out second mortgages, third mortgages, student loans in addition to that,
and student loans are not forgivable. Those don't go away.
You've got to die for that to disappear.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
I heard it's the number one asset, the number one government.
The government's number one asset is student loans.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Two to three trillion something like that.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Isn't that crazy? And all? What do these colleges have
to do. Do they have to guarantee a job? Nope, right,
What's interesting is trade schools have to guarantee placement, they
have to meet certain placement rates. But for your colleges,
especially private schools, have zero criteria, so they can create

(47:57):
any degree they want and pretend that they're an industry
for it and sell your kid on it. And then
who's left paying the bill while they're faculty that can't
be fired gets paid three to four times more than
what they're actually worth. Like, it's disgusting and it's just

(48:22):
all part of the theft of the American dream.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Absolutely, I believe that amongst it.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
On top of that, I believe that credit card companies
are clearly there's an agenda there to keep America in
so much debt and stress that we genuinely become slaves
into the treadmill and the rat race and the hamster wheel,
all the different analogies. I was speaking as a guest

(48:54):
on a podcast earlier today, and the guy asked me,
It's like, what are some of the things that couples
are arguing about, and how do they avoid some of
the issues abound money and the stress and the strain
on the marriage. And I said, what are the biggest
problems that a couple. If a couple received a million dollars,
they would probably not argue with each other about that.

(49:16):
They would probably jump and scream and say, yes, woh,
we got a million bucks. Where they're going to argue
is how to spend it. And that's where we need
to get into control, because we've been conditioned by ads
and psychologists and masters of the human psyche to show us, oh,
you need this product, you need this gadget, you need

(49:37):
this gizmo. Oh, and you can only you can get
it for ninety nine ninety five. You know, you can
only nineteen ninety five and twenty four ninety five and
you got it just every single you know.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
We're told.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
And then we see all these pictures in these ads
of people having all this joy and happiness after they
bought the product, and it's sad before they bought the product.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
It's all a game.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
It's all a sign off if you will, to get
you to part with your money for things that you
don't really need to impress people you don't really care about.
And I told them, I said, if couples and people
individuals would stop spending tomorrow's money today and start spending
yesterday's money today, that would change, the whole thing, would flip.

(50:19):
We're so right now, We're so conditioned in, programmed to
spend tomorrow because all of this.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
I'm doing really well.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
I'm making a ton of money, and we believe it's
never going to stop. Everything's great, the economy.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Is going well.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
This, that and the others happen and everything is great.
I'll just keep making money so we can keep getting
into debt and we can keep those monthly payments. And
because everything is going to and then you lose your
job and you fall and the house of cards fallows, and.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
You're like, man, I screwed up.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Yeah, because you're buying stuff today with tomorrow's money. Stop
start saving first. And my wife I love her so much,
and she said, she said to me the other day,
you know sometimes this saving up for things first is
really hard. I'm like, I know, She's like, but I
would rather do happen to be in debt. I'm like, right, right,
So we save up for stuff first and then we

(51:04):
buy it. And I'm telling you, we still have money problems,
we still have issues. I still have stress I still
have things, but that's a way better I felt. I
feel way more confident and way more stress free when
I buy things with money I already have.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Here's how different I am than you, Paris.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
All right, go I have.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I have three times my normal amount and my checking
account and savings account than I normally do.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
And I'm in panic mode because I need to get
it out of my bank because I A don't trust
my bank. B know that they're longer my dollars in
my bank, the less it's valued, right, I need to
move it into something tangible gold and silver, right, or
or more food storage. Like I'm in panic mokes. I'm like, oh,
there's too much of the bank where you'd probably look

(51:53):
at that and go if there's not enough in the
bank I need. I need to have I need to
have that security.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Right.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Well, I do have a balance, but I do savings accounts.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
You're right, but I'm like, I'm like panic anxiety. Get
the money out, not spend it on like just whatever.
You know, I'm not gonna be like, oh vacation mode,
Oh let's buy a new car. Oh no, right, I'm
just like I got to move those assets somewhere safe.
I got food storage and golden silver. Like I'm just like, oh,

(52:21):
there's too much in the bank. And Shane's probably like,
you still use a bank, what's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Fortunately got to use a bank, unfortunately, but but yeah,
be your own bank. You know, when we didn't really
talk about solutions, how to how to fix these problems
for ourselves. So, like I said, these problems really can't
be fixed until things collapse. And that's why that's uh,
we've labeled this appropriately right, that we're in big trouble,

(52:48):
But there are things that each of us can do
to to prepare for the final outcome of all these
of this list, right, and maybe we should talk about
that next time, go over that entire list, because obviously
we're out of time now, but we should take an
entire hour to really talk about the solutions, because there

(53:11):
are there are things we can each do individually that'll
make a big difference.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Yeah, I definitely think we need to learn how to
stand on our own more and more. We need to
go back to the skills our forefathers had. We need
to look to the past and start living that way
to endure long enough to see the future. Homesteading, raising
our own meat, animals, gardening, growing food that we eat.

(53:41):
And that's another one of the problems that's on the
list we haven't even talked about, is how poorly and
enriched the soil is. So we get our Budy Jared
Hendry back on and talk about his miracle methods of
actually creating better fertilizer that's actually natural. Right, we should
probably get him on for another episode. I'm still waiting
for him to drop his book. I'm looking at you,
Jare Hendry when you're you dropping your book. Guys, thanks
