Speaker 1 (00:24):
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this week's edition of
the Sunday Wire. I'm Patrick henningson your host. We're streaming
out live on the Alternate Current Radio Network and also
at twenty first century dot com. I want to direct
your attention to, first of all, to our support page
at twenty first century Why. I really appreciate all of

(00:45):
the support we've got in the last week. Some of
you have really stepped up with donations and other forms
of support subscriptions at twenty one dot tv. So thank
you guys who've arrived to help us in our hour
of need. Really really appreciate it, and hopefully we'll see
more support in the coming days and weeks. Certainly after

(01:07):
today's show, we really appreciate it. You guys have been amazing.
So we have an important broadcast today which we'll be
sharing with you the details of Now, we're going to
cover some important topics today. Not least of all and
most importantly is going to be the Trump Putin summit

(01:27):
alleged to summit. It's hard to know exactly what's going on,
but we'll be sharing the details of that with you
in a few minutes. There's also a disturbing situation that's
brewing in Lebanon, and we have been discussing this recently
with some of our colleagues, and we'll be sharing some

(01:47):
of our analysis with you as well in this first segment,
and as well as another disturbing situation in Gaza. And
all of these have a common theme, and that is
the United States is pretending to negotiate. The Trump administration
is fumbling all of these situations, okay, and not really

(02:12):
fumbling them. It looks actually a lot more nefarious than that,
and that's what we're going to discuss. What's actually happening.
And this is a disaster in the making geopolitically, I
think for the US domestically as well, but the US
is kicking and screaming all the way to the end
of empire. So we'll be discussing that and then after Overdrive,

(02:36):
we'll be joined by our teammates from Ulternate Current Radio,
probably hesher and Ruckus, perhaps Basil Valentine, I'm not sure,
and we'll be discussing these issues as well as others.
So look out for US and Overdrive, and we'll also
be featuring some of the feedback and comments from some
of our listeners and viewers on the various streams we've

(02:58):
got live right now in Rumbull YouTube, also on x
Facebook Live bit Shoot, as well as on the audio
streams on iTunes, Spotify and all the other top audio
streams were there after the program as per normal if
you're subscribing to us on those channels. So let's bring
on to the stage the background of all of this,

(03:20):
and so this is the theme of today's show. US
betrayals are afoot and are incoming in Lebanon, but also
Ukraine as well. Will we'll discuss the details of that
with you in just a moment. So we've got all
of these different theaters where the US is basically i think,

(03:42):
planning to Shanghai whoever the counterparty is negotiations on this.
So in the Middle East, it's all for Israel. That's
what you need to understand, Okay, all for Israel in
the Middle East, So that includes Lebanon. So I'll go
over there. I'll go over what's what's at stake and

(04:03):
what's at play and Lebanon as well in Ukraine, what
Trump is posing he's planning to do, which is, oh,
we've got a deal. Oh, it's it's been you know, okay,
in principle by the Russians, this is a deal they
can work with. They're not They're nowhere near a deal,

(04:24):
not even close. Okay, this is all media hype. Russia,
with its open door policy on negotiations, is going to
go along and go with the with the motions on this,
but they're nowhere near any kind of negotiated settlement. They have,
you know, some terms and principle that look promising, but

(04:44):
the devil's in the detail and they haven't ironed out
any of it. Plus there's too many loose cannons on
the sidelines. Okay, I'll break down the details of this
in just a moment, but that's what you need to understand.
So we'll get into what this means. So we'll discuss
what's happening in Levant, which is it's horrifying what what

(05:07):
the US and Israel are planning for Lebanon. It's absolutely horrifying.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
We'll discuss that as well as Gaza in the moment,
and we'll get onto the Trump Plutin summit in Alaska.
I mean, I don't know why the Russians are actually
playing ball with the US that that that to me
is baffling anyway, after everything that they've done to Russia,
especially after the last Istanbul agreement. Anyway, we'll tell you

(05:35):
what it means in just a moment. So here we are,
and before that, we'll we'll show you this Sunday screening
here and this is nuclear doomsday devices, Cold War's ultimate weapons.
This is a good retrospective for the Sunday screening in
terms of a you know, a short but very very

(05:55):
information pack documentary film, just just to reiterate what happened
in the Cold War and the importance of understanding the
risks of thermonuclear war, okay, and what it could mean
for everybody in terms of their life life as you
know it. Wherever you are in Europe, in the UK

(06:15):
and the United States or whatever, it's going to affect you.
Even Australia is not safe. You guys are hosting one
of the largest US signet listing stations in the world,
Pine Gap, as well as in Darwin, Okay, Aucus Agreement
and the rest of it. So even as far flung

(06:35):
as Australia, you're not going to be safe in the
thermonuclear exchange. Sorry. So there's a lot of countries that
are going to get smashed to pieces and life will
never be the same. And you have a president in
the White House now in the US that is flirting
with nuclear war and joking about it, maybe not joking about,
but threatening Russia probably not far from threatening China with

(07:00):
nukes as well. So got a little bit of a
problem obviously with this, and this is going to have
to be resolved either at the ballot box or through
impeachment or removing him under the twenty fifth Amendment. Trump
has just proven himself to be a complete idiot, okay,
and a dangerous idiot. So watch this film and just

(07:22):
to understand how previous presidents and at this skill level
in terms of diplomacy from previous presidents, and how that
compares to Donald Trump. It's important that you want to
understand and know the difference between these two things, because
what you have now the caliber of politician in the

(07:42):
White House now compared to let's say, during the Cuban
missile crisis, the caliber of CIA analyst, the caliber of
Secretary of State. I mean, look at Marco Rubio, literally
an aaron boy for the Israeli lobby, zero diplomatic skills.

(08:02):
He has been sidelined by a sister property developer from
New York, friend of Trump, but more importantly, friend of Israel,
Steve Wikoff has sidelined Little Narco as Secretary of State.
That's how pathetic Mark or Rubio is in this job

(08:23):
that he believes is a stepping stone to him becoming
the Republican nominee in twenty twenty eight. Okay, Rubio is
that he has been promised great things in twenty twenty
eight by Paul Singer and Mary Madelson as long as
he does right for Israel. Okay, nothing else matters for

(08:44):
Rubio in terms of his career. So that goes for
pretty much everybody else in the national security and foreign
policy collective in the Trump administration, which is not actually
the Trump administration. We'll show you that so in a
few minutes, not actually the Trump administration. So important, you

(09:05):
understand that. So let's get to the business. Okay, let's
get to the business. And the business is Lebanon. This
is the problem that we face right now today. Okay.
The United States and Israel are trying to foment a
civil war in Lebanon. And let me just explain to

(09:27):
you how they're doing it. Okay, this is one of
the worst betrayals of a country that has been used
and abused by the British, the French, and of course
by the Americans and all at the service of the
state of Israel. This is Abraham Majid, a frequent guest

(09:49):
on the Midweek Wire. We also host x spaces together.
We did what great space last night. Unfortunately it wasn't recorded.
It was an impromptu space, but if you follow my
feed you might have call it very informative. We've got
some of the best I think minds available on the
case to give a fluid analysis of what's happening. He's saying.

(10:10):
Here is what he's saying in this in this tweet
that we've got up Lebanon's next scenarios after the government's
decision to disarm the resistance. Lebanon stands at a crossroads
after the government's recent decision to disarm the resistance i e.
Has Bealah, a move that threatens to reshape the country's
fragile political and security landscape. Now that's just the beginning. Okay,

(10:35):
So what the United States have done here, it's important
that you really understand what's happening Okay, what the United
States has done here, the United States is constructing what's
a concept that you might know called Hobson's choice. Okay,
the Hobson's choice that the US and Israel are forcing

(10:59):
upon the Lebanese. Okay, forcing upon the Lebanese. They want
to get rid of Hesbala once and for all. Okay,
the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia Okay,
Israel is now giving orders to the Lebanese Prime minister
who's a Western puppet nu Afslam, and the president, who

(11:23):
effectively is is also a Western puppet. Let's let's be honest. Okay.
These are these are figurehead political leaders that ultimately don't
have much power at all, and the Lebanese central government
has struggled to have any power uh in that country
for the longest time. It's not blaming it on them

(11:46):
specifically the government. I mean they're they're weak because they
are being micromanaged by the US embassy up on the
hill over Beirut. Sorry, folks, it's just a reality. And
by extension, that means they're being micromanaged by Tel Aviv. Okay,
the only thing that's protecting that country in any real

(12:08):
sense is the resistance is Hesbelah. Unfortunately, so let's get
into it, okay. The Hobson's choice is that the US
is in Israel demanding that Hesbela be disarmed, demanding the
Lebanese do that, or the alternative is a bloody civil war.

(12:34):
And if you know the history of Lebanon of the
last forty or fifty years, okay, you'll know that for
many people in the country, the last thing they want
to do is return to any kind of protracted civil war.
And by the way, it wasn't a civil war before.
It was a war that was engineered by external powers,

(12:54):
like all wars in the Middle East, all quote civil wars,
namely the United States and Israel. So this will be
the same. And so is Hesbula going to disarm? Doubtful?
Would you disarm after you've seen what Israel has done

(13:17):
to Syria? Syria effectively disarmed where it was disarmed by
Israel in the first days of the Jilani coup back
in December twenty twenty four, not so long ago, six
months ago, seven months ago, eight months ago. I guess
more than that. So would you disarm? Where are you

(13:39):
going to end up. What's to stop Israel from invading
South Lebanon again. Nothing. They will invade South Lebanon, that's
one hundred percent guaranteed. And then the US and Israel
unleash the dogs of war, the radical Wahabbi fanatics, the terrorists.

(13:59):
They will unleash Jolani's Al Qaeda brigades onto northern Lebanon,
they will move into Tripoli, and then you will have
sectarian fighting, violent sectarian fighting in Lebanon, and you'll see
the country fracture so quickly, and then very easy for

(14:23):
them to infiltrate and ascend Isis into South Lebanon, very
very into Bay Route, car bombs, assassinations. Okay, just like before,
but much worse, much more violent and more intense. And
to top it off, you will have Israel carpet bombing
South Bay Route, South Lebanon and trying to turn some

(14:47):
of these areas into something that resembles the Gaza Strip.
So to stamp out the alleged terrorists what they deem
to be terrorists, i e. Lebanese militia defending their land.
Why is there armed militia and Lebanon called hesblah because
the Lebanese army itself, which is controlled by the United States,

(15:11):
can't defend its borders, can't defend the country. It's not
allowed to have certain weapons. It doesn't control its own airspace.
The US and Israel effectively control Lebanese airspace. This is
not a sovereign country. That's just a sad fact, you know.
And there's many reasons for that. And people can complain

(15:34):
and say, well, that's not a very nice thing to say,
but it's true. It might not be nice if you're
Lebanese or if you belong to certain factions that are
especially allied with the United States, if you're in a
warlord faction that is Western aligned or Israeli aligned, you

(15:55):
might not like to hear that. You might say, oh,
that's not true, but it is, and America knows it.
That's why America built a fortress up on the hill
just due north of Beirut. Why would they build this
massive complex. It's an absolute fortress, okay, because they are

(16:16):
planning for a civil war, that's why. And that will
be a pro US stronghold in that area. The Americans
are very nefarious and devious, and people would do well
not to be so naive as to what's actually happening here.

(16:37):
They're willing to throw that country into a bloody civil war.
They will allow Israel to do whatever once militarily. The
US will deploy special forces to get experience and do Mayhem,
as will the British allow the French to get in
there as well and get some practice doing special ops. Yeah,

(16:59):
that's kind of what it is. Training ground for more war.
That's what these things tend to be. Unfortunately, and the
Saudis are going to pay for X, Y and Z
and egg it on because they want to see the
end of Hesbula as well. So that's what's happening. This
is what's happening in Lebanon. This is coming. What can

(17:22):
stop it? I don't know. It doesn't look good. But
step one for the for the US and Israel will
be to fracture the Lebanese army into along sectarian lines,
so that then then it fails, and then that one thing,
that one piece of continuity that Lebanon does have, will

(17:43):
be fractured and basically delegitimized, and that will open the
door to warlordism and sectarianism, and that will be a
power vacuum and who will move in Israel will move in,
the US will move in Jolani, and the al Qaeda

(18:03):
tools that the US and Israel use they'll move in.
And then the other various and sundry warlord factions, Christian
and etc. They'll move into and reinforce their own sort
of fiefdoms. And the Shii will do the same, and

(18:26):
the Sunny will do the same. And that's it, and
they'll strangle that country and torture it until everyone someone's
crying enough, people are crying uncle, and it will come
under some international mandate once again, rinse and repeat like
last time, but only worse, and with an emboldened Israel

(18:47):
that has shown the level of brutality that is willing
to unleash against densely populated civilian areas, something a level
of ruthlessness and brutality. Knowing that nobody will will stop them,
they can do as they wish against densely populated civilian areas.

(19:09):
This is what Israel is demonstrated to the world after Gaza.
This is what Israel demonstrates to the world by how
many homes were destroyed in Lebanon by Israel, how many
thousands of people slaughtered killed, the pager attacks which a
lot of US politicians and people joke about, Oh how

(19:32):
funny it was. There's people maimed for life, women and children,
normal people maimed for life, killed, murdered in this genius
pager attack by the Israelis, a terrorist attack not condemned
by the West but applauded for Israel's ingenuity, the moral

(19:58):
depravity of the West and endorsing what is clearly just
state terrorism by Israel and just mass murder and genocide
in Gaza and in the region in general. And then

(20:20):
the sectarian programs by this terrorist in Damascus they call
President Jolani disgusting, all backed and lauded, and you have
Western foreign ministers going over there, you know, prostrating themselves
in front of the former deputy vices, founder of Al

(20:42):
Qaed in Syria, Al Jilani, President al Sharar. You know, Oh,
the war on Terror, I was the number one reson
detat of the US for the last twenty five years.
In Britain. What a joke, What a farce. It all

(21:04):
ended up becoming what we knew it was. That we
knew it was that the whole time. So anyway, we
can go deeper on that and we will and when
you have our colleague gone on the midweek wire to
talk about it, Ibrahim Machid. So next item, next item

(21:27):
of business, is this the Putin Trump summit? The Putin
Trump summit. Okay, where do we start with this? My
first question is why would Vladimir Putin meet with Donald
Trump in Alaska on US soil? Do you trust America?

(21:51):
What devious, underhanded foul play is the US capable of?
You see, you saw what it did to the Iranians.
You saw how it coaxed the Iranians into negotiations and
then tried to assassinate its head of state, a supreme leader,

(22:13):
as well as all the military commanders. That's what happened.
So they lulled them into this fake idea that there
were negotiations happening. The reality was there was no such thing.
So here they are allegedly going to pound out a deal. So,

(22:34):
as I said on Friday on the UK column News,
with all difficult divorce proceedings, it looks like a divorce
proceeding in terms of like two parties wanting to remove
themselves from a marriage in a proxy war against each other.
And so then, of course, what do you do with
the kids. So you got this little green action figure

(22:57):
in the middle there, that's Zelenski. What do you do
with the custody of the kids. There is little green
action man from Kiev in the middle. What do we
do with the kids? This is the big question. So
that's that's going to be a problem. Okay, it's going

(23:18):
to be a problem. So no matter how this ends
up in Alaska, whenever this is August fourteenth or whatever,
no matter how this ends up, this is only a
pre meeting. This is only a pre meeting as a
prelude to a well, the US want to try, you know,

(23:41):
a trifector with Zelensky, Putin and Trump. But Russia doesn't
take Zelensky seriously as a negotiation partner, and likewise, Russia
doesn't trust the United States as an agreement capable partner
and negotiats. So what are they hoping to achieve? It's

(24:05):
kind of difficult to work this out. What what's productive here?
It's not one hundred percent clear. And to make matters
even more complicated, okay, it's not going to give you

(24:26):
a cease fire even during this negotiation process. So they're
basically agreeing to talk Allegedly, there are terms presented by
Steve Whitcoff, the magic Man, the del boy of diplomacy,
who is in Moscow a couple of days ago, slurping caviar,

(24:51):
and supposedly the Russians say, yeah, this is workable. You know,
we can talk about that is talk of a landswap. Personally,
think that's going to be a non starter. So if
the fighting is going to continue, there's no cessation of
US weapons going to Ukraine, there's no cessation of US

(25:15):
intelligence going to Ukraine. So this is set up to fail.
This is set up to fail. And how the US
will play it is Trump will say, well, we met.
It was a perfectly good deal. We gave them a
perfect We gave them everything they want, quite frankly, it
was everything they want, quite frankly, a lot more than
I was prepared to give. But you know, nobody would

(25:36):
have given as much as I did. Quite frankly. It
was just a perfectly good deal. And other Russians just
weren't serious. This is the Israeli negotiation tactic. Get you
lure people into some kind of a negotiation situation, and

(25:59):
then you start moving the goalposts around and inserting this
and inserting that to the point where it's almost to
guarantee that the thing is going to collapse. And then
when it collapses, you turn around and you blame the
other side for rejecting a quote perfectly good deal. Okay,
the Israelis have perfected this and what they the reason

(26:20):
they do this is to buy time to change facts
on the ground. So you have to ask yourself the question,
what are the US buying time for in Ukraine to
change facts on the ground? Can they do that? Not sure?

(26:41):
Do they believe they can do that? Apparently yes, And
that's why you're seeing what you're seeing. Do you trust
I can't see at the same time this is happening.
I cannot take the US position seriously because at the
same time this is happening, you have other things going on.

(27:05):
Here's Lelensky's going to reject a landswap deal. So there's
there's too many there are too many parties on the
sidelines that will shoot this thing down. You've got Zelenski.
He's not going to do anything productive or cooperate. He
might even be out of there. He might even he

(27:27):
might even have fled the country by the time this
gets going but let's say he stays in the Nazi
hard right that keeps him in power, will see any
concessions of territory or anything like that, all things that
Russia wants that the US supposedly in this pro former
deal with Wikoff have, They're going to see that as

(27:50):
a betrayal. So Zelenski's life will be under threat. So
there's no way he can so if they don't get
buy in from the Ukrainians, there's nothing okay, it's just
it's costplay. It's costplay at this point they're playing, and

(28:12):
I personally think Russia. Russia is willing to go along
with this to by time themselves, because while this is happening,
Russia is making steady progress towards the Danietri River. And
we all know, those of us who understand the trajectory
of this conflict not just from February twenty twenty two

(28:33):
when the quote war broke out, but all the way
back to twenty fourteen and even further back. We understand
the demographics, we understand the territorial anomalies with the creation
of Ukraine as a state entity historically, all of that,

(28:56):
and Russia of course understands all of this. Trump and
his team don't really understand it, and if even if,
even if you explained it to them, they would dismiss
it out of hand as Russian propaganda or the Russian
authoritarian view, or Russia trying to rekindle the glory of

(29:18):
the Soviet Union, a Soviet empire. Some Bolics like this, Okay,
even if you spelled it out to them. I'm showing
you an URT article here on screen. Nobody in Britain
or Europe reads URT because they blocked it. They censored
it because they don't want their people or their politicians
or policymakers actually seeing what the Russian position is. And

(29:42):
and quite frankly, the facts of these stories, Sorry if
it hurts, RT is depressingly accurate, especially on these types
of things, statements, Ukrainian positions, Russian statements, Russian positions. It's

(30:04):
depressingly accurate. There's hardly in any spice and sizzle in it.
It's just depressingly accurate. And it's daily and our people
are not reading it, so how can they know what
the Russian intentions are the context of the arguments. So

(30:25):
Trump doesn't understand any of this. So Trump is going
to bs his way through negotiations. That's what's going to happen.
Donald Trump is going to bes his way through this.
He doesn't understand how this conflict began. He can't even
articulate the true causes of the current phase of this conflict,

(30:46):
what Russia called the Special Military Operation. Donald Trump doesn't
understand how it got to this. This is beyond his
level of comprehension and pretty much beyond the level of
Pete Hegsath or any of these other people. They can't.
They it's political suicide for them to publicly admit what
actually happened, because it was a US coup in twenty

(31:08):
fourteen that started this Maelstrom to begin with, you can't
say that publicly, not in Washington, not in London, not
in Paris, not in Berlin, not in Brussels or Stockholm
or Helsinki, and least of all, you can't say it
in Oslo or most of all. So that's where we're at.

(31:36):
So Trump's gonna be s his way is that it's
not gonna get anywhere With Putin, You're gonna get nowhere.
So they're stuck with the US euro narrative on this.
So Trump can't and here's the other thing, who else

(31:58):
is sniping on the sideline, who else is going to
shoot this down? Trump cannot negotiate for Europe and you
can't negotiate for the UK. They have their own agenda
and that suits the US deep state right to the
ground because they can create the facade of negotiations here
for the headlines between Putin and Trump. But meanwhile, the

(32:22):
proxy war continues on the sidelines. They're just going to
keep swarming Russia. This is all theater. It's all theater
to extend the time horizon for this conflict. They want
to get more weapons in there, and they believe they
can outswarm and overwhelm Moscow with drone attacks over the

(32:45):
next couple of years, and that they will eventually decapitate
the political leadership using these military methods. That is the
British policy that was in the British Strategic Defense Review,
which we reported on. If you watch these programs that

(33:05):
we do, you know these things. If you're new, We're
glad you're here. Operation kill Web was announced in Britain
just the week before Zelenski and the US and probably
with the help of the Israelis. Certainly the British were
involved in Operation Spider's Web. Add two and two you

(33:30):
get four. It's not difficult. So this is the reality
of the situation. So Donald Trump can't negotiate for the Europeans,
so he's doing this. He can't control what Germany and
France and the UK have cooked up. And again another

(33:53):
article twenty first century Wire UK accused by Russian intelligence
and masterminding a sabotage operation against the Russian shadow fleet.
What is the Russian shadow fleet shipping oil Russian goods
being on the high seas under other flagged countries standard practice?

(34:18):
This is how you avoid or get around sanctions? And
what is the British policy on this? Here it is
This is Kir Starmer again up at twenty first century
wire dot com. If you look in our website you'll
know all this. This is essentral information. We've had it
up all week. This is what Kiir Starmer said source Politico.

(34:42):
The threat from Russia to our national security cannot be underestimated,
said Starmer last Friday. That is why we will do
everything in our power to destroy his shadow fleet. Read that, folks,
his shadow fleet, he's saying Putin's shadow fleet he's using,

(35:06):
He's personalizing it his Putin shadow fleet, not Russia's Putin,
and starve his war machine. He's talking about Putin again,
so he's framing it like Saddam Hussein. So you're starting
to see the hitlerization again. This is the British. They're

(35:27):
the masters of soft power and narrative building. Okay, and
starve his war machine of oil revenues to protect the
sub and protect the subse infrastructure that we rely on
for our everyday lives. So he's in one breath. He
has packed so many lies in here subse infrastructure, like

(35:49):
Russia's threatening the subse infrastructure. You remember the fake attack
against the Internet cables and the Baltic that never happened,
turned out to be an anchor from some ship. They
reported it for weeks like the Russians were cutting Internet cables,
Absolutely ridiculous subc infrastructure. What about gas pipelines? Does that

(36:16):
count as important subse infrastructure? How about the nord Stream
pipelines one in two? Is that important subse infrastructure? Did
Russia attack the nord Stream one and two pipelines the
biggest terrorist attack against European infrastructure during the modern era.

(36:39):
Did Russia do that? No? They didn't. So he's banging
on about protecting our subse infrastructure. In the same breath
he's saying we need to destroy the Russian shadow fleet.
That is a declaration of war. The US and Britain

(37:01):
did less to Japan prior to December seventh, nineteen forty one,
to provoke the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. That's what
got the US into the war. Know your history. They
sanctioned Japan, they tried to cut them off, they tried
to derail their international shipping, to isolate them to the

(37:25):
point where Japan at some point it felt it had
no choice but to attack the United States. They are
pushing for World War three. This is Britain leading the
charge for World War three, and Donald Trump has nothing
to say about this. So they just allow the US
allows this to happen on this islands. That's the strategy.

(37:48):
The strategy is to swarm Russia. This is what NATO does,
That's what the EU does. So this is just a facade.
Will It may look promising, it may look like it's productive,
like it's going to lead to something, but I personally

(38:09):
have not seen anything articulated by any US official that
even remotely resembles reality or acknowledgment of the US being
a belligerent. The US are killing Russians. I said this
on Danny Davis this Week and Daniel Davis Deep Dive

(38:30):
on the podcast. I said, America is killing Russians. It's
using Ukraine as their tool to do it, with US
weapons and bombs, intelligence and drones and whatnot. Russia is
not killing Americans. Russia is not killing British servicemen, it's

(38:53):
not killing Germans. But Europe, Britain and the US are
killing Russians actively. They're co belligerents. So they can't pretend
to be a neutral negotiator. The US definitely can't pretend
to be a negotiator or some kind of a neutral

(39:14):
party trying to break up this fight. It's just going
to fail. It's not going to go anywhere. And I
think Russia understands that, and they're doing what they need
to do. They're taking care of business. I think that's
what's happening. So and then the situation in Gaza, Okay,

(39:38):
we'll have to bring this up on screen as well,
because this is just ridiculous, the situation in Gaza. So
here's Donald Trump so America supposedly again, it's back to
where we were in January. I'm taking Gaza. I'm going
to take Gaza. Take this, take that, take the oil.

(40:01):
So here's a video clip from Trump. Obviously, hopefully you
guys can hear this. Okay, but we'll just double check
our system settings and make sure we've got the audio
feed coming through on this nicely for you. Yes, it
looks good. Okay, So here it is. This is Donald J.

(40:21):
Trump once again. So Trump says we're taking Gaza. Reporters
says under what authority? Trump says, under American authority. The
breathtaking arrogance and criminal behavior, even for the greatest terrorists
and criminalation. Okay, strong words, right, Okay. So here's here's

(40:42):
Donald Trump in action. It should be entertaining. I've not
actually heard the whole clip yet, but this will be interesting.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
The President, how do you know that the Peerstinians don't
want to leave their land?

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Some people say, this is nick clemsing, you won't be
able to force them to leave the land.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
We're moving into a beautiful location where they have new homes,
where they can live safely, where they'll have doctors in
medical and all of those things, and I think it's
going to be great.

Speaker 6 (41:12):
Yeah, any questions the.

Speaker 7 (41:14):
US would buy Gaza, and today you just said, we're
not going to buy. God, we're not gonna have to buy.
We're going to We're going to have, guys, we don't
have to buy. There's nothing to buy. We will have.
What is that no reason to buy? There is nothing
to buy. It's Gaza, it's it's a war torn area.
We're gonna take it. We're gonna hold it, We're gonna

(41:35):
cherish it.

Speaker 6 (41:36):
I mean, you're going to take it under one authority.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
It is under the US authority, So.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
You know that. I don't know if that was an
old clip or not, but absolutely incredible. I mean there
were these exchanges back in February when Trump was putting
out is you know, seaside resorts in Gaza, stupid viral videos.
I mean, absolutely retarded. This administration is beyond embarrassing their crafts.

(42:09):
They're retarded on a certain level, and very evil and
dishonest on another level. I mean, it is very corrupt.
The Trump administration is very correct. The circle of people
that the grifters that have been assembled around this president,

(42:31):
this president who doesn't know whether it's coming or going
on a daily basis, Okay, who is being micromanaged by
an external foreign government? Okay? And that brings us to
this and we'll go to break in a minute. But

(42:52):
this is the problem, folks. None of us voted for
the Epstein administration. But that's what we've got. We've got
the Epstein administration. Okay. Jeffrey Epstein effectively, indirectly, or otherwise

(43:15):
runs the United States government. Jeffrey Epstein, for all intents
and purposes, is the figurehead president of this administration. Because
Donald Trump is completely compromised and is under the full
control he is a finger puppet of Israel. It's humiliating

(43:38):
for the United States, for those people. And Donald Trump
fashions himself as a patriot, I don't think so. You
can't call yourself a patriot when your entire cabinet was
selected by a foreign government and that you yourself took
hundreds of millions of dollars from a foreign lobby. There's

(43:59):
nothing patriotic about that. It's fake, fake. This is the
Epstein administration, like it or not. That's the effect of
what has happened. Everything. Every single person in there is
selected for based on what they can do for Israel.

(44:20):
That's from Steve Witkoff to Marco Rubio, to Mike Waltz
to Tammy Bruce, all the way down the line. Okay,
Unfortunately that's the way it is, and there's nothing patriotic
about it. Sorry to say if that upsets people, tough.

(44:49):
The United States has damaged its own reputation by hitching
its wagon to a genocidal European colonial, maniacal settler state
that is just killing people on industrial scale and destroying

(45:12):
the region. Why because this president must be the most
compromised ever more than Biden. Biden was compromised over Ukraine,
there's no doubt about that, through his son Hunter, through
his own dodgy dealings and those of a number of
democratic operatives. But that's nothing compared to the level that

(45:36):
Trump is compromised because of him being best friends with
this guy who he has denied and said, oh I
didn't really know him and he's a creep, and they
were best buddies. These guys were best buddies. There's even
it's not even a rumor, but that Donald Trump's current

(46:00):
Milania was introduced via Epstein to Trump set him up
with his wife or Epstein's circle. Okay, that's something that
is being discussed now. I don't know the full details
of it or how true it is, but it sounds

(46:20):
incredibly plausible. And Trump is basically covering it up. He's
got his AG Pambondi covering it up, just as she
swept half of this Epstein malarkey under the rug when
she was in Florida. That's why she was selected as AG.

(46:41):
That's why they screwed Matt Gates to pull him out
of his house seat, give him a head fake that
he was going to be AG. And now he's out
of politics, and the person who's covering it all up
is in the AG seat. And the guy who took
Matt Gates's house seat is a rabid, drooling massive Zionist.

(47:05):
When we say massive, we mean literally, not just figuratively.
Randy Fine, I believe took Matt Gates's seat. I mean
that was a major coup. You have to marvel at
the political genius of this cabal. They pulled an absolute
blinder there. That was incredible. Now Matt Gates is doing podcasts,

(47:29):
so he's out of power. He's doing he's on the
fringe doing podcasts. So I love Matt Gates, but he
should be in the house, not doing podcasts. But that's
what that's what Israel wants. Israel is going to get last,
but not least, and we're gonna I swear we're going
to go to overdrive in a minute. But I have

(47:50):
to share this with you guys, because this is just
too precious. Everything I said is encapsulated in what I'm
about to show you here, because it just doesn't get
any better than this. It really doesn't. Tammy Bruce. Now,
if that's a name that you know, you probably know

(48:12):
it because of Fox News. Like everything in the Trump administration,
it existed first on Fox News. So here's Tammy Bruce.
She is the State Department spokeswoman, so basically reading a
script for IPAC. Okay, I don't know if she's a
dual passport holder, but she has publicly pledged her allegiance

(48:36):
for Israel, and I believe pledged her first loyalty to
Israel second to America if I read that correctly before. Okay,
so this is like somebody who's an America laster in Israel.
First her thank you, mister President, so grateful poetus is
trust and nominating me as Deputy representative of the US

(48:58):
at the UN. That's another script reading job, un rep. Okay,
I've been honored to serve as State Department spokesperson. She's
been an absolute nightmare, and I'm now blessed. Trump's tweet onward,

(49:18):
I mean, it's unbelievable. How these people manage is pretty incredible.
So Trump says, I'm pleased to announce that I am
nominating Tammy Bruce. A great patriot. I don't think so,
a great Israeli patriot, a television personality. So there's the
she's not a great patriot. She's an israel first. Okay,

(49:39):
that's not really patriotic from a US Maybe an Israeli patriot, yeah,
of course, but not an American patriot. Television personality, and
that's her number one qualification right there. She was on TV,
best selling author again, selling books through Fox News. They
have a whole pipeline for publishing, have to present I mean,

(50:01):
it's doubtful, My personal opinion is doubtful that all these
presenters that push books on Fox, and they push the
books on Fox that I believe it's my opinion that
most of these, if not all of them are written.
They're not written by these people. They're written by ghostwriters.
They put their name on the cover. That's how they

(50:23):
move and make them best selling books. That's my opinion
based on let's just say what I've heard, Okay, I
will leave it there. I could be theoretically wrong, of course,
but think about it. If they're working every day, how
they have time to research and write a three hundred

(50:43):
page book. I mean, give me a break anyway. I'm
not reading these books. And that goes for Pete Hagseth
as well. Did he write that book that got him
the job as Defense Secretary? That's up for debate. Did
Bill O'Reilly or Brian Killmead write all their books? I
don't know. Maybe O'Reilly wrote some of it, but I

(51:03):
was never particularly impressed with Brian Kilmead, but he was
pumping a book on there every other day, So I
don't know how they do it. Well, you know how
they do it. Pay a few grand to a ghostwriter
and then you slap your name on the cover and
it sells like hotcakes because Fox News viewers will buy
anything because they believe these presenters are geniuses, because they

(51:25):
can read teleprompters. So yeah, since the beginning of second term,
Tammy's been serving with distinction. That doesn't mean much under
this administration. This is just such a ridiculous vignette. So
mediocrity is rewarded under the Trump administration. So this propagandist

(51:50):
for Israel gets promoted to another propaganda script reading teleprompter
reading job at the UN, following the footsteps of great
UN repersentives for the US like Nikki Haley or the
great John Bolton. So as you can see, and Samantha Power.
I mean, it's such an esteemed position, it really is.

(52:14):
So impressed, so impressed. I'm so impressed. I think it's
time we take a break. This uh, this segment went
a little bit over. Time. We'll connect with our teammates
on the other side. I'm Patrick Henningson. We'll be back
in a few minutes. In the meantime, enjoy the music
of I think I'm in the mood for a bit

This come.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Up? All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back to the

(59:05):
Sunday Wire. I'm Patrick Kenningson, your host. This is episode
five hundred and fifty eight of this weekly omnibus news
and analysis television and radio program. That was Phil Zimmerman
Lines in the Sky, the new singles out. Phil sent
us that very excitingly sent us that new video which
he's released big Hollywood level production by Phil. I mean,

(59:29):
it's very impressive what he's put together there for that video,
Absolutely insane. That's the craziest thing I've ever seen. And
then before that, Red Rumble with Turns to Dust great
track as well, which we have been promoting for the
last couple months on this program. Another great, great artist there.
There's other independent artists going to come through and we'll

(59:52):
be showcasing some of their work, including Peter Conway has
got a new single out which we'll be hopefully talking
to him about maybe next week possibly, so we'll see.
And there's others too, so a lot going on. We
try to bring you some of that during the break
and at the end of the program. Sometimes it's part

(01:00:12):
of the variety of the Sunday Wire. But let me
bring some of our colleagues up here. I think we
are looking on the live stream the Green Room, yep,
the Green Rooms populating already. We've got Hesher here, host
of the Boy of the Room at ACR, and of
course Ruckus Adam Clark as well, host of the Daily Ruckus.

(01:00:33):
So two artful Dodgers in the house, guys, and you
know I did this was My closing gambit really was this,
you know, the Epstein administration. I didn't vote for Jeff
Epstein in November, did you guys? Was he on the ballot?

(01:00:54):
I can't remember. It's all a big blur. The whole
November thing. Was Epstein on the ballot?

Speaker 13 (01:00:59):
Yeah, he was under Donald Trump. That's why I didn't vote.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Yeah, I just not. No one voted. I mean, no
one I know voted for Jeff Epstein. But Epstein won
the election.

Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
You know, I also did not vote for Epstein because
I also did not vote.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Well, you know, if you don't vote, you don't got
skin in the game.

Speaker 13 (01:01:23):
Not allowed to I'm not allowed to comment on it
since I didn't vote for Epstein, right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Yeah, Epstein's got a lot of skin in the game.

Speaker 8 (01:01:30):
Ever been to the island? So I can't comment either, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Yeah, but yeah, you didn't vote, you didn't go to
the island. Does that means you're you're clean? You're clean,
There's there's nothing bad is rubbed off there, and you
you've got to clean conscious. Everybody else though not so much,
not so much? What an embarrassment? What? What?

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
What an embarrassment? What Maga has descended into that. All
they've got is I'm on Breitbart's mailing list, and every
day it's like Trump's economic victory and the economic this
and the secret to Scott Bessett is planning. I mean
it's just endless propaganda. And I look at US growth,

(01:02:17):
US growth zero percent, but they keep spinning up all
of these fake statistics and reports. I mean Biden did
this too, So it's not just Trump. I mean every
US president done it, does it? But the whole drama
with the tariffs and oh this is what they call it.
Liberation Day. Yeah, Liberation Day with jd Vance and Trump.

(01:02:42):
Liberally we're free, free from what? Free from a functioning economy?
I mean what are we free from?

Speaker 13 (01:02:49):
Free, free from our bank accounts, freed from our ability
to spend, Freed from our ability to get twenty dollars
tun of sandwiches and replaced with thirty dollars tun of sandwiches.
It's going great.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Free from prosperity, is what you're saying.

Speaker 13 (01:03:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, free to experience a lot of austerity.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Yes, yes, I mean yeah, Liberation Day. It's been a disaster.
It's so like everything you can't well, you can't run
policy from Twitter, of course, but then you can't go
and threaten all your allies, and you've got these ad
hoc tariffs across the board. The rest of the world's
just saying, well, screw the US. They don't know what

(01:03:27):
they're doing. You know, let's go, let's trade with China.
Look what he did to Brazil. He didn't like the
fact that Brazil was supporting Palestine, Brazil was doing this,
so he said, oh, we're gonna ban Brazilian coffee from
the US. We're gonna terrif it. And so guess what,
China Coffee is becoming a big deal in China. It

(01:03:49):
hasn't always been Chinese drink tea, but now they drink coffee.
So China looked at that and said, actually we want
that coffee. We've got big demand for it. Can you
give us a good price? And then Brazilian said, yeah,
what price do you want? You know? And they got it.
And guess what, US screwed itself and it's going to

(01:04:11):
pay more for coffee elsewhere, a good trading partner, good
relations with Brazil. All of a sudden Trump comes in
and no, nope, no more relations with Brazil because they
didn't like both what they did to Bolsonaro or whatever.
And then they they they put out a reward, fifty

(01:04:32):
million dollar reward for Maduro the president of Venezuela, so
Marco Rubio Narco Rubio has the nerve to accuse the
Venezuelan president of running international narcotics cartel, little Narco from Miami,
like Maduro doesn't have enough to do running Venezuela. Do

(01:04:56):
you realize Venezuela pulled its economy out of the the
biggest hell hole that the US put it in because
of sanctions and current currency manipulation and stabilized it. A miracle.
What Maduro did for Venezuela is nothing short of a miracle.
So the US are really upset now, They're really really

(01:05:19):
pissed off. So I don't know, this is uh quite something,
quite something?

Speaker 13 (01:05:27):
So do you think they'll send Sean Penn to find Maduro,
talk to Maduro, bring him in.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
I don't know, But Sean Penn's in a new movie.
He's in he plays Uh who's he play?

Speaker 9 (01:05:42):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
He plays a military guy?

Speaker 11 (01:05:46):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:05:46):
Really? Okay, I hadn't heard about this one. I heard
they were doing like a Young Guns too. Maybe is
he in that I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
No, no, no, there's a blockbuster coming out. I'm not
sure Pen's in it. I have to go and look
look for that. But it's it's in the it's the
previews now when you go to see a movie. So
he's in there. It's like, it's not Mission impossible. It's
something else, something fairly big. I don't know. You might
look it up Sean Penn upcoming blockbuster film. So, I

(01:06:14):
don't know if you guys, did you guys see the
Tammy Bruce tweet? Do you guys know who Tammy Bruce is?

Speaker 11 (01:06:19):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (01:06:19):
Yeah, media voice, the odious one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Yeah, she's uh of course according to Trump. She is
a great patriot and also a great TV presenter, according
to Trump. So let's see if we can bring her
up there it is. I'm pleased to announce that I
am nominating Tammy Bruce, a great patriot who said Israel

(01:06:48):
is the greatest country in the world. Does that make
you an American patriot? Not sure? I don't know. Maybe
not television personality? So there, there, there she is, top
top qualification right there. Fox News, Fox News, best selling author.

(01:07:08):
Do you guys watch I mean, do you guys watch
Fox News for sport because I used to.

Speaker 13 (01:07:13):
I watched clips on I watched clips on X. Yeah.
I have a hard time watching anything longer than five
minutes there, but that's about all you need here and there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
I used to watch it when Biden was president.

Speaker 8 (01:07:23):
I used to watch it just for all the legs.
They put the legs front and center on Fox News.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
They do their Outnumbered my favorite show. Yeah, absolutely, Ruckus
knows where the money is. Every single one of their
it's so annoying. Every one of their presenters has got
a book out, and it started with Bill O'Reilly and
then they're just constantly plugging their books. And Brian Kilmead,

(01:07:48):
who looks he it seems like he's dumb as a
box of rocks. And he's got these books about history
coming out like every couple of months, a new one. Oh,
this is my new book on the history of World
War two or whatever. You know. I can't see Brian
kill me doing academic research. It's just me. But you know,
he seems like a little bit thick. Is he writing

(01:08:11):
all these books?

Speaker 13 (01:08:13):
Well, no, none of these people write their own books.
They're all being written by ghostwriters and ais I'm guessing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
So I mean it's it's normal to have ghostwriters like
for those types of you know, it's a Fox is
a marketing machine for product, and the books are a
big product. So you Hannity's got a book out every
every Mark levine. You know, another airhead or sorry, hot
air bag airheads. That's something That's what Ruckus was talking about.

(01:08:44):
But so you've got Yeah, I mean Trump's cabinet, his
whole the government is just all Fox News. I mean literally.
Pete Hegsath. I met Pete Hegsath at a at a diner.
He was was an election, was before the election, one
of the elections, I think it was the midterms, I
can't remember, but he came in with the crew and

(01:09:07):
they were talking to Arizona people at like four am.
So I got, I got. I got the call from
a local representative say you're going to go down to
this Fox is going to be there, Fox and Friends.
And then there was egg seth and uh they got
around talking to people ordering your hash browns and eggs
or whatever. What issues are important to you? And he

(01:09:31):
looked like he looked like a pretty, you know, normal bloke,
you know, the hair slicked back and all that I
didn't realize he had all the tats, so obviously he
covers all those up on this show. But but then
I'm thinking to myself, how do you go from being
a weekend Fox and Friends second tier host and then

(01:09:52):
you're in charge of the Pentagon. That's a hell of
a jump, Like, how does that work? I mean, I
think Hesher, I think you could be fairly you know,
not maybe not as quiet. I mean, Pete was a
major in the in the Minnesota Reserves, worked at GITMO

(01:10:12):
apparently as a guard. But you're probably more qualified than
Heckseeth in a certain way, for for for heading the
d probably I'm not kidding.

Speaker 13 (01:10:25):
Yeah, no, if he could do it, I could do it.
I'm I'm pretty sure of it. And by the way,
what kind of what kind of job post did did
you look at to get a job at Gitmo?

Speaker 9 (01:10:36):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (01:10:37):
Is that the kind of job like you find on
USA jobs dot gov? Or is that the kind of
job you get offered when you already have as like
a certain level of clearance. I'm wondering. I'm just you know,
just curious.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Or no clearance, you know, no clearance right.

Speaker 13 (01:10:55):
Which is the highest one? Probably a job like that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
Yeah, just put doing sensory deprivation for you know, goat
herders and taxi drivers from Afghanistan. They just picked up
and threw down in git Mo, just to keep the
numbers up. Yeah, extract confessions out of them after waterboarding
him for a week.

Speaker 13 (01:11:13):
Yeah, you know, I did it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
I did it.

Speaker 13 (01:11:16):
Liais the the c I A M. K Ultra officers
to come in and you know, radicalize whoever through trauma
based mind control.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
That's totally normal, and then redeploy them.

Speaker 13 (01:11:26):
Sure, maybe wasn't wasn't. Did Jolani he was there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Right, Jolani wasn't in Gitmo? But who else? Someone? Who
else was in there? I can't remember bag Daddy. I
know Bagdaddy was in Camp BUCA right in Iraq. But
it's it's a carousel, if you will. There have been
people like Hakim Beljaj redeployed in Libya to overthrow Kadaffi.

(01:11:58):
He was in Gitmo, I think. Yeah, So yeah, they
have a little rotation going on there. That's always interesting.
Just a coincidence though nothing, It's it's very daily shooter esque,
that whole that whole scene. Nothing to see here, Move along, folks,
Stop asking questions, Yeah, so Tammy Bruce anyway, let's uh.

(01:12:26):
I mean, we can chew the fat all day on
this and hypothesize, pretending where genius is. But let's let's see,
let's see what the real brain trust is saying. Those
are our listeners and our viewers that they know what's
going on. It's good. The real brains are saying. If
Tammy Bruce does well, she'll be a Tammy Whynette or

(01:12:50):
Wynette w I n how clever. Yes, indeed, we'll see here.
Pete hag Seth, what do you mean Pete's he Seth
is uniquely qualified, says JS. He's so good looking, he
has great handlers. I thought she meant great handles, great
handlers h to make sure no one knows how much

(01:13:14):
he loves to guzzle gin and juice. Are you saying
that Pete Hegseth is an alcoholic? Is that what you're inferring?
Seems like it. Do you want to die on your
own terms? Or do you want to be killed? Money? Money, money, money,
I'm not sure what they Pete Kegg's breath cheers Little

(01:13:36):
Narco pat Rivers is saying Narco Marco Maduro's nickname for him.
So Maduro Maduro's got a nickname for Rubio. I didn't
know that. So Little Narco had a hissy fit and
told Pam Blondie to take care of Maduro, so she

(01:13:57):
put a fifty million dollar bounty on him. Maduro said
two can play at that game, and he put a
fifty million dollar reward for info on Jeff Epstein. I love,
I love, I love these these trolling Global South leaders,
I mean and Medvedev and Maduro, and I mean the

(01:14:20):
Chinese are taking the piss now. Chinese never used to
get involved in this stuff, these wars of awards. They
were above it. They stayed out of it. They didn't
take like, you know, pot shots and you know, didn't
put out hot takes and point out the irony of this,

(01:14:41):
that and the other. But they're doing it now. So
even the Chinese are taking the piss on America. Easy
target practice. So here we go, Tammy Bruce, Project monarch reject.
I don't think so, more like Project Murdoch. What are
you talking about. None of these people, says Donald m

(01:15:02):
None of these people are in charge of the position
they occupy. They're just marketers. Yeah, that's pretty accurate and
let me see Kurk Boss always a fountain of wisdom.
Fox employees the girls enjoyed on Epstein's Island. Can you
prove that that's a hell of an allegation right there?

(01:15:25):
We need some receipts. Are there any receipts or any
flight logs? Wait a minute, they don't exist, so we'll
never know. So you can say whatever you want, say
whatever you want. Here we go, Ellen, Jean Hegseeth is
not personally sanctioning Russian vodka. Ah, here we go. Now

(01:15:46):
we're getting into it. I was gifted some of Bill
O'Reilly's books, very impressive starter in my burn barrel. So
you know, when the economy gets tight and during the
winter oil bills are shooting skyrocketing heating bills, reach for
the Bill O'Reilly books to stay warm in the winter. Yes,

(01:16:12):
so Fox News employing exporting stars. I don't know about that.
So anyway, it's interesting, Pete, except put the get and
get mo. I mean, they're just really pighing on an
except they're really part Here we go, Photon's got it,

(01:16:33):
Tammy who? That is absolutely correct, That is absolutely correct.
Trump turned these people into household names. For at least
half the country. Wow, yes, indeed, gentlemen, do you have
anything to say about any of this madness? Uh?

Speaker 13 (01:16:55):
You know, I was watching some YouTube the other day
and I can't help but notice like all of the
Trump ads on YouTube are just insane. They're so insane,
and like, I mean, the fact that YouTube was allowing
Trump ads at all before he was even elected really
said something. It was like, wait a minute, this is

(01:17:16):
a this is a noteworthy sea change right here, Like
that in and of itself was probably enough for someone
to make a slick bet you know that that Trump
was you know, gonna be selected, I mean elected, And
now we're seeing these like pre midterm sort of advertisements.

(01:17:36):
Like here in Texas, I keep getting like this corn
fed John Cornyn uh ad on my YouTube. You know,
I unfortunately still have ads on my YouTube. I don't
get them on my computer, just on my Apple TV.
But it's it's like you see, you know, a farmer,

(01:17:57):
a fireman, a family, a teacher, and they're all thanking
Senator Cornman for working with Donald Trump. Thank you for
working with Donald Trump. Senator Corman, you know, and it's
meant to look like this this very you know Southern
like you know, appeal to Texan and Southern people above

(01:18:18):
sixty five, I guess I don't really understand, like who
the target audience is here. No one I know under
you know, fifty five would relate to this, I don't think.
And the thing with Cornman, he's a disaster. He's worse
than Ted Cruz, Like he makes Ted Cruz look like
someone I would vote for. Uh, you know, and Cornman

(01:18:38):
he's he's also an enemy of the Second Amendment even
though he's a Republican. He does all kind of shady
stuff to try to disarm the people in his own state. So,
you know, it reminds me of that Rubio post that
I brought in last week that we covered just the
the like level of narrative building and cope around what

(01:19:00):
this administration is. The marketing on it is laughable yet
staggering at the same time, because I know a lot
of people will eat it up.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Yeah, Corning is dodgy as hell. Dodgy as hell does.

Speaker 13 (01:19:17):
Not deserve to be a senator, not someone any state
should have for a senator, especially a Republican state. That
guy is a grift.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
Yeah, he's a swamp creature. Of the highest order, and
Greg Abbott's not much better these.

Speaker 8 (01:19:30):
Days concerning this whole media thing, Patrick, and how I mean,
I think this is all it all. It's all obvious,
and it speaks to the greater puzzle that's been built
around us, as it were, is the fact that this
entire administration was from the get go going to be
a media propaganda operation, and the whole world is evolving
and changing to that, which is why you see even

(01:19:52):
the old school hardline or serious people like China now
hopping on board like the meme game, you know what
I mean, And the fact that like news has slowly
the past few years evolved from like going to actual
sources and doing any research to like, oh, this article
is all based around somebody's tweet on social media. So
the whole world has changed, and I think we saw

(01:20:14):
that coming. So it's no surprise to me that the
vast majority of his administration have been selected from that area.
And all things considered, knowing how things are changing all
around us, and how things are acting on the geopolitical
stage and propaganda and this whole digital prison that we
built for ourselves, I guess.

Speaker 10 (01:20:35):
I guess that the people that he selected for.

Speaker 8 (01:20:38):
Their current positions are absolutely qualified for what they're doing,
even though traditionally speaking they're not. But in the New Game,
holy moly, I think he did pretty good for his picks.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Yeah, in the idiocracy, they're perfect, absolutely perfect. Yeah, that's
why is Trump has been brought in obviously to deliver
armageddon for Israel, obviously in the Middle East, but also
to preside over the I don't know that the degrading

(01:21:17):
of the United States internationally, domestically, the dismantling of the
United States, you know, as a world power. You know,
is he is? He is he going to be the
one that finally the the US will go bankrupt, You'll
have the collapse. Trump will be the trigger for the collapse.

(01:21:39):
He's been He's been chosen because that's if you think
about it. For the establishment, that's that's an easy one
because if it does, if it does collapse, everyone half
the country already hates him anyway, so they'll just be
that it's Trump's fault.

Speaker 13 (01:21:54):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
That's the last time will let an outsider in.

Speaker 13 (01:21:58):
Politics, Yeah, or maybe in a goper or human.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Or oh yes, ruckus, yes, yes, we will. We will
have to opt for an infallible AI candidate because they
don't make mistakes, especially on the economy. Yeah, they know
exactly where every CBDC is at any given moment. It's god.

(01:22:25):
Digital gods will run our lives, Buck Rogers. In the
twenty fifth century, doctor Theopolis and the Council, the Supreme
Council will be six ais B to b D around
the neck of Twikie. So there we are, South Park,
got it pretty much right, says Kurt Boss can argue

(01:22:46):
with that. This is the point here. Back to this one.
The neocons think people are starving for war, but they
can't afford food. There has been a lot of reporting
in the media about the cost of food in the US.
Okay is bad, as some of these stories say, guys,
And what have you noticed in terms of, you know,

(01:23:07):
just any outlandish prices for things that used to be
quite affordable everything?

Speaker 13 (01:23:15):
Everything. I mean I was looking at going back to
physical media. I want to kind of try to get
away from some of the algorithms when it comes to
enjoying music. So as you know, digging out my CD
collection and CD player and stuff like that from the
garage and looking at, you know, what it would cost

(01:23:35):
to you know, upgrade my say, my receiver from two
thousand and two or something like that. And I'm looking
at the prices, going wow, you know, I always felt like,
you know, back in the day, go to circuit city whatever,
you know, Oh this is this is expensive. This is
an investment, you know, but it's gonna be worth it.
I'm looking at prices now and I'm just like, wait
a minute. And I started thinking about it, and I

(01:23:55):
was like, I'm gonna find an inflation calculator. And I
found a pretty cool inflation calculator on the interwebs, and
you know, I just typed in. You know, it's just
got like a little box, you know, it's it's got
a drop down for the year, and then the amount,
and then what that would equal this year. And it's crazy.
It's absolutely bananas like stuff that you know, I used

(01:24:18):
to be prepared to pay, like, you know, two hundred
bucks for is now like six hundred And that's just
not a function of you know, it being better. It's
just a function. It's literally a function of inflation. And
you know, so it's everything, you know, it's not just food.
Food is one of the particularly annoying things because that's

(01:24:40):
something that you need, you know, every day for the
most part, unless you're fasting or something like that. But
it's it's nuts where we're at, you know, with with
the finances just in general, with the long term inflation.
You know, just go back two thousand year, two thousand,
twenty ten. You know, you can go every t years

(01:25:00):
and just watch it just go up and up and up.

Speaker 1 (01:25:05):
Yeah, there's ruckus on the price spikes outrageous.

Speaker 7 (01:25:11):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
My guide is a tune of sandwich with chips and
a bottle of something cheese a drink. It's apparently twenty
dollars now.

Speaker 8 (01:25:25):
I would have guessed thirty forty by now, to be
honest with you, I mean, are you going out to
get this or are you going to have it delivered
to your home? Are you going to make it yourself?
There's a lot of options here to consider.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
I'm just thinking the basic out It was it Jimmy
Dean's or I can't remember the name of that sandwich place,
jim Jones, I think something like that.

Speaker 8 (01:25:45):
Yeah, I think you're right. It's probably about twenty bucks
for some.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
Of the crunchy iceberg lettuce brown bread.

Speaker 8 (01:25:52):
Yeah, get a nice, large sized drink and all that
fun stuff and the fixings. Yeah, you're probably going to
drop twenty bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
And we see chips, we mean a bag of of crisps.
To the British, that's crisps. So in America that's chips. Oh,
I thought you're talking French fries. Vermitt there are in
Britain or fries in America. Crisps in Britain are chips
in America. Just so we have that little confusion across
the Atlantic. Yeah, you know it's uh plus tax.

Speaker 11 (01:26:23):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:26:23):
I will say, for some strange reason, food at a
convenience store, say a gas station is two to three
times higher than what you're going to purchase at your
local grocery store. Really, and it's it's outrageous and.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
Law like at Mavericks or these these big trucks, the
truck stops or.

Speaker 8 (01:26:43):
The gas station close to my house, which is one
of my few options sometimes. So if I just want
to go buy I bought a loaf of bread there
the other day, five dollars for a loaf of bread.

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
But if you want to get a jumbo hot dog,
oh yeah, it's in theater, that's cheap.

Speaker 10 (01:27:03):
That's a dollar fifty right, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
But the bread's five Yeah, the bread's five.

Speaker 8 (01:27:10):
Does butter they have that was the most outrageous thing
I think I've seen in their store. I don't know,
maybe it's like maybe eight ten ounces max jar peanut
butter eight dollars at the gas station.

Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Little jar of peanut butter.

Speaker 10 (01:27:23):
Yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
Gold it's because there's gold inside. That's why. That's why
it's so expensive. It's got gold leaf when you open it,
gold leaf on the top.

Speaker 8 (01:27:35):
So basically for that price, I can just have all
the stuff delivered to me. I can have, I can,
I can pay extra on top of the grocery store
prices to have someone shop for me, deliver it to me,
pay them a tip, and it's still cheaper than buying
anything at the gas station.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
That's because they're incentivizing you to do just that. I
want to get you out of the in person business
and into the delivery business.

Speaker 13 (01:28:00):
Yeah, and we're talking like, you know, the lunch and
essentials here. If you want to like go out and
just have a normal meal with two rounds of drinks
and two entrees, Uh, you're looking at well over one
hundred bucks. I mean it's crazy. You know, date night,
movie night, all these things are like, you know, movie night.

(01:28:21):
If you're taking a date, it's like a seventy five
dollars endeavor. If you're going out to a you know,
a decent eatery, you're looking at between you know, eighty
and one hundred and thirty dollars, depending on if you have, like,
you know, two rounds of drinks or three rounds of drinks.
It's it's bananas. It's it's just nuts. And it makes
it so such that a lot of Americans, you know,

(01:28:44):
we're creatures of habits as humans, and it's like the
inflation keeps going up and we keep doing what we're doing,
and it's it makes for subsistence living for a lot
of people. And I think that's exactly what this New
World Order would like, is for us to be used
to subsistence living, being at the edge of the cliff,

(01:29:05):
you know, at the end of the month or the
middle of the month, or heck, even in the beginning
of the month, if you know you're not being really careful.
It's you know, that puts people, that puts society in
a situation where if something were to be disrupted financially.
They will do whatever it takes to maintain their ability
to you know, keep that some semblance of normalcy, even

(01:29:29):
if that means accepting UBI, accepting digital ID and accepting
you know, digital stable coins and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:29:41):
Fast food is no longer fast or food. True statement,
true statement. There's a few other interesting ones. I don't
know whether this is true, but it seems a bit
far fetched. But tell me, Ellen, Jean and barr A says,
I just pay seventy five cents for a loaf of

(01:30:01):
whole wheat bread, all natural, So Ellen, don't keep it.
Don't keep the secret from us. Where do you get
your whole wheat, all natural bread for seventy five cents?

Speaker 13 (01:30:12):
Please do tell Do we have all natural bread here anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
Do we reckus? Yeah? Mexico doesn't count, So just please
be more specific on that.

Speaker 8 (01:30:21):
Don't just bangle that if you buy like one hundred
loaves of bread. Maybe if she got a good deal
and it breaks down to seventy five cents per loaf,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Or in the what's the discount part where it was
about to expire, they put the thing.

Speaker 10 (01:30:34):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
Yeah, maybe that's why she's talking about the old's clearance.

Speaker 10 (01:30:39):
They're called Clearance, Go Clear Columbia.

Speaker 13 (01:30:41):
I wonder, okay in Columbia.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Walmart used to be really cheap for food, but in
terms of nutritional value it's probably not that great, if anything,
But now it's expensive. People are talking about Walmart's jacking
up the price on food. So maybe the trying to
force the country on a diet. I would think that's
what the credit cards are for. Just pull out the

(01:31:05):
credit cards and rack it up, right, I mean, that's
what Americans do. Get another one in the mess.

Speaker 8 (01:31:12):
They have something I've I've never used it, but I
guess it's popular enough. I've been hearing about it in
the news as a bellwether sign of the economy or whatnot.
People are using something called Klarna and other things similar
to this, where they purchase their essential items that they need,
including their groceries, and then they pay it in foro
easy install. So they're paying like interest on borrowed upfront

(01:31:35):
money to help them with their purchases. And then you
know if you yeah, so let's say you have like
one hundred dollars worth of groceries and you don't have
one hundred dollars, so you do a Klara payment and
you're like, you wind up making four payments that total
out to one hundred and twenty dollars by the time
you're done, so you're paying an extra twenty dollars. Let's
say you use your credit card to pay that installment

(01:31:55):
on those Now you're paying the interest on your car.
I mean, it gets ridiculous. Things are getting really bad
for Moss.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Basically loan sharking to get food. It's kind of like
what it is.

Speaker 13 (01:32:06):
It's like the old member that you go to the
shady part of town, there'd be that cash checks immediately
placed where you could just write cash on a random check.

Speaker 8 (01:32:15):
Yayday loans trouble way back in the day. That stuff
is no joke.

Speaker 13 (01:32:19):
Yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
Hey day loans. I knew a guy that was in
is a very lucrative business.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
It was.

Speaker 1 (01:32:25):
It was a mafia run out of like some little
village in Kansas City, you know, or Kansas. That's where
the I think that the payday loan mob the head
of the whole pyramid thing. It was like some small
town in Kansas or something.

Speaker 8 (01:32:40):
So some of these payment apps like cash app will
now just lend you money just as if it was
a payday loan, but without you having to prove anything.
They just say, oh, we're just going to front you
some money. I'm like, oh, this can't end well, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
Not at all. Cambridge Disinformation Summit has been in session again, Pat,
I'm not sure what that conferences, but doesn't sound good
disinformation summit. Here we go five dollars for wonderbread. Maybe
real bread is ten easy, Yeah, that's a good point.
Fake bread is even expensive now wonderbread, Like, what is

(01:33:16):
the nutritional value of a loaf of wonderbread?

Speaker 13 (01:33:19):
It's about the same as a box of cereal none or.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
A box of sawdust, Probably less than a box of sawdust,
to be honest.

Speaker 10 (01:33:29):
Sawdust has fiber, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
Right, that's right. Wonderbread doesn't has no fiber.

Speaker 13 (01:33:36):
No, it has lots of glyc estate though, So how.

Speaker 1 (01:33:40):
Much for twelve eggs right now? Just bog standard prices?
Do we know? Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:33:45):
Well, it depends what kind you want. If you want normal,
just like plain old eggs, you know if you go
to Walmart. Actually, Crease is one of our listeners on
multiple chats here, and he says large eggs seventeen bucks

(01:34:06):
for a box of sixty and three dollars for a
gallon of milk. He says, actually food is cheaper than
ever there, which is worrisome. It's probably made of plastic.

Speaker 1 (01:34:15):
So where is this what is he talking about?

Speaker 13 (01:34:18):
What's the location there? South Florida?

Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
I think maybe South Florida. Yeah, yeah, it could be,
could be Cuban prices this.

Speaker 13 (01:34:30):
We like to buy the soy free eggs because you know,
I'm not a soy boy, and those are like six
seven eight dollars a dozen, and.

Speaker 1 (01:34:41):
The soy free eggs does that? I didn't know they
put soy and eggs. They the chickens eating soy feed.

Speaker 13 (01:34:47):
The chickens soy feed.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
Yeah, so the chickens are soy boys.

Speaker 13 (01:34:51):
They are. They're soy boy chickens exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
Raw butter cubes fifteen bucks, says people unite. I don't
know what raw butter cubes are, but I think that's
the thing, honey jar small, fifteen bucks.

Speaker 13 (01:35:07):
Look at the Russian price pat twenty eggs in Moscow
here two fifty to two.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
Dollars and fifty cents. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, Amodovich
nas twenty eggs in Moscow or two? Well you know,
so I I they're they're expensive here, I get sick.
If I want to get them from the farm. Six eggs,
it's about two pound fifty. That's you know, that's about

(01:35:36):
three fifty US dollars three twenty five, three fifty.

Speaker 13 (01:35:41):
So like a seven dollars dozen is basically the same.
We're paying here for quality egg.

Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
Yeah, yeah, no, I get them. I'll get them straight
off the farm. They leave them out at the end
of the driveway and you put the money in the
jar on his system. That would I don't know if
that would work in some parts of America or or
the UK for that matter.

Speaker 13 (01:36:02):
Not going to work at Kroger or HGB or Walmart,
that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:36:06):
Yeah that's right America. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, no profanity there.
Up Here we go. Patrick, can't be soy boy, chickens
only the grilled legs.

Speaker 13 (01:36:21):
Okay, got us there, Carol.

Speaker 1 (01:36:24):
Yeah, she's got us there, she's so I tell you,
our audience is so smart. They're so quick, much quicker
than us. Okay, here we go, Here we go on
the John McGuire says the prices have been jacked up
ever since the chickens went on strike.

Speaker 13 (01:36:42):
There's been a genocide against the chickens too. Let's not
forget in this country they've murdered hundreds of millions of
poultry animals. And that's not just in our country. They're
doing it all over the place. They send in those
weird pandemic complex people with or spacesuits and they you know,
do fake PCR tests and then they say, nope, nope,

(01:37:04):
time to burn this one down, or time to call
all these birds. Sorry, farmer, here's will cut you a check.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
Okay, here we go. Ellen says, a thirty count flat
of large eggs in Colombia organic is two dollars USD. Wow,
So that's Columbia, folks. That's looking good. Organic thirty for
two bucks sounds like, yeah, that's good, good marks for Columbia.

Speaker 13 (01:37:36):
I could live like a king there, man. I would
eat nothing but eggs seven pounds for cheap. Yes, good coffee,
not moldy eggs, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
Geez, good coffee. Yep. And they declared Israeli terrorist state,
so what's not to like. I think we should move
to Columbia. We pay seven pounds for thirty eggs from
the farm in Hampshire in the UK, so yeah, deliver.
That's my question. At that price, I'll take thirty for seven.

(01:38:05):
Why not? Oh, here we go. They had to recover
from bird flu. Give them a break. Yes, bird flu
another fake, non existent virus, sulient greens.

Speaker 8 (01:38:17):
Only we could figure out how the eggs are made
and do it ourselves.

Speaker 10 (01:38:21):
That would be interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:38:23):
Yeah, we're working on that. Trump's working on that. Trump's
working on that.

Speaker 13 (01:38:28):
We make the ones, and Trump and his buddies are
going to steal them all.

Speaker 1 (01:38:35):
Raw butter is from raw milk, skim the cream off
the top and then shake intill it thickens. There you
are Moscow prices that sanctions for you, that's right, sanctions
better prices in Moscow doesn't make sense. And then we're
paying double and triple in the US and we're the
one imposing the sanctions. It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 13 (01:38:56):
We will impose the sanctions on you, and we will
kill the birds. Yes, this will work.

Speaker 8 (01:39:02):
Say, speaking of butter and fake food and things that
don't make sense, Patrick, did you catch wind of this
thing that's been going around in the news.

Speaker 10 (01:39:09):
I guess CBS did a report.

Speaker 8 (01:39:12):
They are making this butter substitute made from whipped up
hydrogen and carbon or something weird. It is not butter,
and I guess it's backed by none other than everybody's
favorite one billionaire, Bill Gates.

Speaker 10 (01:39:26):
So of course the conspiracy theorists are running wild with that.

Speaker 8 (01:39:30):
But it is a disturbing trend, all of this fake
synthetic lab grown foods, but now carbon based butter. Shout
out to mystical Pharaoh who shared that with us just
last night.

Speaker 1 (01:39:41):
So lab lab created butter.

Speaker 13 (01:39:45):
Yep, it's fun yummy. I mean, that can't be can't
be good. Kenned Rucas's comment was classic. He goes, I
can't believe it's not I can't believe it's not butter,
Like we already have plastic butter. Okay, what the hell

(01:40:08):
do we need printed plastic butter for? I mean, they
they they're killing people as we speak, people right now
are killing themselves with margarine.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
And yeah we got Lando Lakes. Yeah exactly.

Speaker 8 (01:40:22):
Then come from I mean, couldn't we technically make the
butter from dead people? I mean, are we this close
to soil and green by doing this.

Speaker 1 (01:40:30):
Type of thing? Well, you know, some say it was
a predictive story, So yeah, I mean I'm with you, guys,
it's uh, it's pretty grim out there. I look personally,
I think things have gone full circle. I used to
is a shop called Sprouts, a store called Sprouts in Arizona,

(01:40:52):
and you know I've what I did is I when
I was shopping back there in Arizona, I found that
if I all had to do with my diet was
when I if I was eating keto, that my bill
would drastically reduce, drastically reduce. My portions were smaller. I

(01:41:15):
ate less, and you know, my fridge was a lot emptier,
but stuff in it, but certain stuff. So a lot
of it has to do with diet. If you want
to eat healthy, you can buy organic and pay maybe
twenty percent more, but you might eat less, but what

(01:41:36):
you are buying has more nutrition in it, especially with
chicken and stuff like that. So it's actually cheaper to
eat healthy. Quite frankly, I found that's the truth of it. Yeah, same,
A lot of people don't want to admit that, but
it's true.

Speaker 13 (01:41:55):
Yeah think they think, oh, twenty dollars RIBI, what the hell?
But it's like, yeah, but that's probably all you going
to need today.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
Yeah, or you know, that's probably all the protein you'll
need for half the week anyway. So I mean, yeah,
so people, I think Americans over the years, they started
ramping up the portions in America over the last you know,
thirty forty years, and so value is equated with portion

(01:42:22):
size and not the contents of the food. And I
think that's the big con in America that's been allowed
to kind of just you know, reproduce itself, you know,
literally over the last forty years. And that's the problem
is that equating portion size with value rather than quality

(01:42:45):
or nutritional content. It's been an absolute disaster that this experiment,
so this human experiment, but it's it's it's it's conditioned people,
it really has. And this is a tough thing to
unwind for America. I'm not gonna lie. And Europe is

(01:43:06):
getting into it. Britain they're adopting all these American I mean,
the portion sizes here. Just I went to a few
places and I'm like, that's a lot of food for
a British portion. Usually they're mean and cruel here with portions,
you know, but Americans are also they're even cutting back

(01:43:26):
on portion sizes in America of certain quality foods and whatnot.
So they're getting stingy too on the same by the
same token, they're loading up on junk, but they're also
being stingy on quality. I've noticed in America, so funny
things going on here.

Speaker 13 (01:43:41):
Yeah, Ever since twenty twenty, quality of services and quality
of servers has gone very much down. I don't want
to get into like all the theories as to why.
I think we can all make our own conclusions there.
But it's like you go to a hotel in you know,

(01:44:01):
twenty ten to twenty nineteen, and you're getting a certain
kind of service, and you go to a hotel twenty
twenty and onward, you're getting a different kind of service now.
And the same thing happens in restaurants, not only different prices,
different levels of service which in most cases are lower
levels of service, and younger people doing the jobs. And

(01:44:23):
we're as customers experiencing the cultural effect, the societal effect
of the age gap there, the age change gap in
service employees.

Speaker 1 (01:44:35):
Yep plus also less the electronic payments is also killed
tipping as well, and that's going to affect it as well.
It makes it less of a profession big time, more
of a stopgap job. Eat better, eat less. Yeah, you
better believe it. Oh, back to this one. We don't

(01:44:57):
want American food with as hormones and it's acid washing
in Europe. Sorry Donald. Yeah, the US trying to push
the American imports on these trade deals.

Speaker 13 (01:45:09):
And isn't Bayer, you know, formerly Monsanto and other companies
who have traditionally been not allowed to do a lot
of GMO activities in many European countries. That's being slowly
repealed under everybody's noses there, right.

Speaker 1 (01:45:24):
Yeah, Yeah, that's the big difference. There's also a lot
of chemicals that are banned in Europe and food that
are not in America, and the US is trying to relax,
lobbying to relax some of those so they can flood
the UK and European markets with stuff that if you
look at the ingredients, even what's allowed legally in a
McDonald's Big Mac, it's a lot less than what's allowed

(01:45:46):
in America. I mean, they're really kind of inundating Americans
with a whole lot of chemicals. The food industry is
already very deregulated, and they're trying to get the Europeans
and UK to relax a little bit. And I'm afraid
to say they're going to be successful in some of
those fronts. It convenies and people don't appreciate the process

(01:46:07):
of eating. Grab a sandwich mentality, yeah, grab a sandwich mentality.
Yeah yeah, yep, yeah yeah. It's a mental game. It's
it's food is chemistry. But it's it's it's mental and
it's chemistry. And uh, someone very wise told me it's, uh,

(01:46:29):
it's not about the calories, it's about the chemistry, you know.
It's it's it's it's important to look at what type
of food you're you're eating and how that changes your
body chemistry. That's the whole principle behind keto diet. It's
not necessarily about the amount of calories, but it is
about certain food will change your body chemistry immediately talking

(01:46:54):
about sugar mainly and and carbs. So yeah, but there's
more good information than ever before on YouTube on all
of this stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:47:08):
Yes, absolutely so.

Speaker 1 (01:47:11):
I mean doctor Berg is a guy that I watched
Doctor Lee. Food is medicine and isn't keto? Mostly protein? Yeah,
mostly protein. Ketogenic is basically no sugar, no carbs. And
we say sugar that includes potatoes and alcohol and stuff

(01:47:34):
that gets converted to sugar immediately. So yeah, no carbs.
That means no bread, no pasta. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's
all out off the table, all of it.

Speaker 13 (01:47:51):
Yeah. Our friends at Primal Edge Health too, they were
instrumental in us learning a lot of these things. Tristan Hagen,
Primal Edge.

Speaker 1 (01:47:58):
Health didn't really I understood it. I did it successfully,
and then I relapsed. And the relapses is tough, man.

Speaker 13 (01:48:09):
The relapses from keto are brutal. You really have to commit.

Speaker 1 (01:48:13):
Yeah, it's a full commit. Yeah, it's it's you got
to take it on. So it's that part is very
mental and it changes the way you think and you
have to rethink how who you are. Your personality is
so much around food, you know, like you don't think
about it, but it is your moods, your personality, your activity,

(01:48:35):
your relationships so much as designed your own food. And
to reconfigure that that's not easy. That's tough.

Speaker 13 (01:48:45):
Yeah. You get into you get into personal battles and
self esteem and self worth. Like, you end up in
some weird places and if you do do it a
keto diet, you will find that on your way out
of your current body chemistry, you end up with things
like little healing crisises like brain fog and fatigue, and

(01:49:08):
you know, your your gut sort of reorients itself, which
can be a little disconcerting and little depressions and things
like that. But once you're like, you know, a week
or two into it, things start to really change, you know,
mentally and physically.

Speaker 1 (01:49:25):
Socially, it's tough, you know, because that's the part. It's
hard for me socially because you go out, it's hard
to it's hard to maintain a keto frame when you're out.
Very it's it's challenging. And uh, that's how you cope
with being out in the in the wild, eating stuff,
you know, it's how you pass the time. It's how

(01:49:45):
you socialize, how you cope.

Speaker 13 (01:49:47):
So especially when you work in front of a computer
or if you work from home, it's like that poll
to to just getting out the door and you know,
doing something being around people. Uh, it's even stronger. I
think when you don't like work in a brick and
mortar nine to five sort of situation.

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
Yep, in a minute fasting is the way to go. Yep,
it's true. Many say, Many say, yeah, I think everyone
should be doing in a minute fasting during the week,
if it's twelve or sixteen hours. You know, if you
want to take a day off, do you the world
a good that's scientifically proven. Of course, we're not giving
medical advice.

Speaker 13 (01:50:27):
We're is saying, right, John wants to know what your
BMI is with the Keto diet. I don't track that.
I never track numbers and stuff like that, so I
can't say. But I can say he's asking as a
carb fan, and I get it, John. I'm a carb

(01:50:48):
fan two and a sugar fan. It's definitely my jam.
But the amount of tactical muffin top that you lose
just after a week or two of being in katosis
is pretty staggering. It'll come back real fast if you relapse,

(01:51:08):
but the amount just eliminating, like not even so much
changing what you eat, just eliminating the thing that you
know is causing your blood sugar to spike and your
your gut to expand is pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:23):
Yeah. Yeah, and here's another comment here. I lose weight
better on the complex carbs. But everyone's different, that's true.
Everyone's body chemistry is different. If you don't have an
insulin resistance issue, you know, high metabolism it's there's some
genetic components obviously, so some people might have a different thing.
But you can turn the corner at a certain age

(01:51:44):
and all of a sudden that carb complex doesn't work
and you will blow up like the Michelin the Michelin man.
So yeah, it's all good, depends what age you're at.
I mean, these are all anecdotal stuff coming in the
comments here. I will say. I will say that, yeah,
the Keto diet, you'll definitely take the tires off. Tires

(01:52:09):
come off, that's for sure. You do feel lighter. And no,
I'm not a vegan. Someone says you're vegan. No, I'm
not a vegan. I will say I did the carnivore
thing for a while and I had some anomalies on
my blood work and high red blood cell count, super

(01:52:30):
super high cholesterol. And when I switched during the summer,
I ate more, you know, salads, more vegetarian food, some meat,
and I saw a improvement on some of those blood markers.
So my physiology is different. I guess I like a
mixed diet. You know, you have more of a craving

(01:52:52):
for meat in the winter than summer. Some people during
hot weather versus cold weather and goes in cycles. No alcohol,
says walk on army. No not if you want not,
if you want this thing to work, if you want
to blow up your chemistry, just have a drink. So
the fastest, it's the fastest way to run that into

(01:53:13):
the ground. Just have a drink, because you can't have
just one drink. See that's the thing about alcohol, because
one drink is two, is three. And the next night
you're like, I had one last night. We'll have another
one tonight and then we'll knock it on the head tomorrow,
glass of vino with the with the rabbi, right, yeah,
who's looking. We'll just it's all gonna will start over tomorrow,

(01:53:37):
don't worry tomorrow. Server, and you bought you bought a bottle.
It's in the kitchen. You're like, ah, there's one glass left. Oh,
this is the last night. This will be the last one.
This will be the last one. And then your your
you know whatever. The wife says, oh, I saw you
like that peano and your wi I bought a bottle
on sale. There you go, and then it's all over. Sure,

(01:54:00):
it's all over. You might as well quit at that point.

Speaker 8 (01:54:04):
Before you know it you're risking your life taking an
unscheduled flight to Russia in the middle of the night
to score a bottle of the good.

Speaker 1 (01:54:11):
Stuff to buy, to buy thirty eggs for two USD
under sanctions sanctions busting food purchases from Russia. Alcohol is
a bunch of carbs and sugar. Yeah, it is. So
is a plate of potatoes. That's basically like eating a
giant Snickers bar and gas. That's the way too, That's

(01:54:32):
the way your body translates it. Just sugar, this sugar.
I'm sorry to say, guys. Now, there is some fiber
in the skin of the potato. Maybe the more raw
it is, the more natural fiber it is. But when
it's cooked, when it's deep fried, forget it. There's nothing
in there. There's no nutrition. It tastes good, damn good though. Yeah,

(01:54:57):
so anyway we could do the hell thing. Maybe we'll
get Clive on to talk.

Speaker 13 (01:55:01):
We're going to ask about Clive. You mentioned him a
week or two ago. Is he coming back soon?

Speaker 1 (01:55:05):
He is coming back? Yeah, we we we have to
we have we do to have a a meeting of
the minds on how we're going to design that. But yeah,
remember what we used to do with the Q and
A s were brilliant. We're gonna do on video like
this with the live comments. That's how we're going to
do it. So and you guys are obviously welcome to

(01:55:28):
UH to weigh in with your questions as well.

Speaker 8 (01:55:32):
So we're a sweatband and a trash suit or something
like that, that'd be cool.

Speaker 1 (01:55:38):
Yep. Carbs unburnt turned to fat while you sleep, that's scary,
says doctor John McGuire.

Speaker 13 (01:55:48):
With you and mess with your blood sugar levels if
you're over a certain age.

Speaker 1 (01:55:53):
Yep. Massive fan of Clive. Yep, many are Clives. Clive's
a g. Clive's a great guy, very good at what
he does. Yeah, and last but not least, just to
really reiterate my claims, baked potatoes much tastier than Snickers.

(01:56:14):
It's true. It's true. You can put the toppings on
the baked potatoes, but not on the Snickers, although probably
in Germany there's somebody that puts chopped bacon on top
of Snickers. The Germans are funny, liked anthem.

Speaker 13 (01:56:28):
Dipping it in sour cream and butter or something.

Speaker 1 (01:56:31):
They mix orange juice and coke in Germany that's what
I'm talking about. The Dutch have some funny ones as well.
They mix, they do things, but Americans do peanut butter
and jelly, and that's not that's not acceptable in most countries.
That scene is a very strange combination.

Speaker 13 (01:56:52):
What about grilled cheese not bad?

Speaker 1 (01:56:55):
Grilled cheese is cool, you know. But then the Australians
have some of these weird combos as well. No vegemite thing.

Speaker 8 (01:57:02):
And the peut butter jelly one has always been fascinating
to me because it was an example of marketing. That's
the only reason why we associate peanut butter and jelly
is because it was a marketing scheme from a big
bread They were trying to sell more bread, so they
were coming up with this clever way to really silly stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:57:24):
How that all began?

Speaker 1 (01:57:25):
Look look that up on Google. You'll love Welsh stuff.
Welis Kelly right? I think so? Yeah? Grape jelly, Yeah,
I I had to eat that as a kid. It
was in my lunch box and.

Speaker 10 (01:57:38):
For lunch today. As soon as we're done here a
true story.

Speaker 1 (01:57:43):
Yeah, I mean we grew up in Florida, so when
that sandwich would sweat, you know, waiting for lunch. Some
things happened to that sandwich and the hour saggy lunch.

Speaker 10 (01:57:51):
The saggy sandwich is the worst.

Speaker 1 (01:57:53):
You never knew what it was going to turn out like.
But we found that if you wrapped it in waxed paper,
it preserved it much better.

Speaker 13 (01:58:03):
So how is that why you weirdos were doing that?
And I was thrown away a lot of my pbjs.
I get it now.

Speaker 1 (01:58:08):
It's a temperature regulation of the way. Yeah, exactly, science
bro oh, this is just this is just grotty Australians
prawn and vegemite sandwiches grody to the max. That is horrible.
Absolutely only in Australia. Only in Australia. Yeah, that's right.

(01:58:29):
A marketing scheme that's stuck to your ribs. You ain't kidding, buddy.
Yeah yeah. Bulgarian food, Yeah, we got a few Bulgarians
people in Bulgaria. Yeah, that's right. I have heard bad
things about Bulgarian food. But then again, in the city probably,
but maybe not up in the country. It's probably quite hardy.

(01:58:52):
It's probably a nice combination between Turkish and Balkan. I
would think prawn and vegemite sandwiches fancy kissing someone after
eating that, says Ian taff. Well, yeah, that's what they do.
That's that's what they do in Australia. And then you
wash that down with a with a tinny of of

(01:59:13):
Victoria beer, a can of a bay. Fancy a can
of a bay, A couple of Tenney's a a bay.
So I'll reckon, he's a good time for a beer,
right right? Okay, guys, Yeah, I appreciate the health chat everybody,

(01:59:35):
you know, it's so much enthusiasm on this topic. And yep,
and I thought Southerners putting peanuts into a bottle of
coke was weird. Do they actually do that in the South.

Speaker 13 (01:59:47):
That's a new one to me, but I'm always learning
new things here, okay. I mean they make Fredo pies
and they have beer a rita's here, Like you get
a margarita with an upside down beer bottle in it,
or you can get a you know, big giant platter
of Freedo pie, which I still don't understand, but they
love it here.

Speaker 1 (02:00:07):
Freedo pie. What's that like? Chips?

Speaker 13 (02:00:10):
Yeah, like the freedo of chips with a bunch of
other stuff under them, baked Freedo lays.

Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
Here we go German inside intelligence. Here, guys, Germans put
cream and ice cream on Christmas pudding. I know that's sacrilegious.
The Germans do very strange things to their food. It's
a very odd culture in Germany. They nobody knows why
they do these things. Yeah, food Police, Well, guys, look,

(02:00:47):
we appreciate your comments. Mexican junk food. Don't even want
to get into that. That's the whole segment, Mexican junk food. Yeah,
but one last one from Imon Poodama peanuts in Coca
Cola sounds like choking, a choking incident waiting to happen. Yeah,
that's the whole point. That's the whole point. Yeah, in

(02:01:10):
the end of the day, most of your dopamine and
serotonin comes from the food you eat. It's mainly made
in your stomach. And that's what it all boils down to,
isn't it. It's that feeling you get, Yeah, the urge
that's all based on your gut health. That's why the
American diet of processed food is reeks of havoc on

(02:01:33):
your gut, which is why people get depressed, which is
why they have totally irregular, irregulated dopamine and serotonin. It's
because their gut is not working properly, and so you
go to the doctor and they give you a pill
for that, and that makes your gut even worse. But

(02:01:54):
there's another pill for that, and there's a pill for
the side effects for that.

Speaker 13 (02:01:58):
Have you seen the vast amount of big pharma commercials
on mainstream and on streaming all based around crones and
the various other things that you know, and a lot
of these diagnoses, if you will, really don't have a

(02:02:20):
marker on them. There's really no way to diagnose it definitively.
And it didn't exist, you know, ten, fifteen, twenty years ago,
something like that. And they're, like you said, pat, there's
always a something attached to it. So skin problems and
digestive system problems, they've got all these crazy medicines for those,

(02:02:44):
and the little warning they put on them is insane.
It's like, you can't take it unless you've been tested
for TB. You may lose your ability to fight TB
infections or you know, or you know side effects include
you know, various infections and you know, disability to fight infections.
And it's like people will literally go take all of

(02:03:06):
these things. I don't want to name any of these
drugs by name because I want to flag any of
the manual reviewers. But you know, if there is a
manual reviewer, you know exactly what I'm talking about, because
you air these commercials on YouTube. You know, you could
look up which ones you advertise for. But I mean,
and the ads are insane, like some lady taking her

(02:03:27):
kid to school, but the car seat in her car
is a toilet, you know what I mean. It's just like,
what the hell is this? And it's all about getting
you more medication, like you were saying, which then, like
your organs are already not working properly because of the diet.
Then you get the medications that are supposed to address
the symptom that you have, and then those may become worse,

(02:03:48):
or you may trade those symptoms for much worse ones.
You know that could end you up in a life
threatening situation.

Speaker 1 (02:03:55):
Yeah, Crohn's disease. I know somebody that was told they
had chromes disease and they had their whole lower intestine removed.

Speaker 13 (02:04:03):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (02:04:06):
They just cut it out, and of course did it
having them do a diet. No, that didn't really come
up into the discussion. No, it's a genetic disease. We're sorry,
we're gonna have to cut it out. But don't worry.
You're gonna have to take this range of ten different
pills for the rest of your life.

Speaker 13 (02:04:26):
You guys, ever see those videos of like, you know,
here's South Beach, Florida in nineteen seventy here it is today.
Like I love these videos that, you know, show what
society looked like in a certain era and then side
by side it with you know, the same place today.
Just kind of looking at the people that are walking around,
like you didn't see, you know, morbidly obese people just

(02:04:48):
a few years ago, just a few decades ago, and
now it's the norm. It's like sixty five percent of
the population or more.

Speaker 1 (02:04:56):
Yeah, and the guys, the guys didn't look all look like,
you know, complete goofballs like now. But I think that's
more to do with fashion. Ellen says New Jersey diners
have egg cream, soda, and fries with gravy. That's that's bad.
I can't even imagine what that looks like.

Speaker 13 (02:05:17):
I'll take some Southern poutine over that.

Speaker 1 (02:05:20):
I can't imagine what that looks like, and more people
smoked back then, hesher as well. Good point here, way
more smokers in the seventies and eighties, So there was
they were healthier, so so they you could smoke, but
you ate better, your healthier, so you could still get
away with smoking.

Speaker 13 (02:05:39):
Yeah, people lived to be a hundred that smoked the
whole time, and you know, ate a lot of red
meat sports Grandma.

Speaker 1 (02:05:48):
Like George Burns, George Burns, but he didn't inhale.

Speaker 8 (02:05:52):
Well put they put all these weird chemicals and stuff
in the cigarettes these days that they didn't back in
the day, and they do it to make them more addictive.
So I mean, obviously, inhaling any kind of smoke is
inherently bad for your body, but it's not like it
is now. It's the chemicals that are going to get
you much quicker.

Speaker 1 (02:06:12):
Okay, this is probably a good one to end on
just because it's so relevant. But I don't know what
you guys think about vapes, but I see kids sucking
on these vapes like there's like it's like it's you know,
mother's milk. Basically, people seem to be ignorant about what
vapes could be doing to them now I totally agree

(02:06:35):
with this because I see an addictive thing with the vape.
People I know on vapes are just they're mad for
the vapes. They can't stop. So I don't know if
you guys have noticed this, but I've done a little
reading on the vapes and they don't look like they're
that great either, and in some ways might even be
worse than cigarettes according to some. But it seems to

(02:06:59):
be highly addictive the vapes just the way people like
clutch them and they're like constantly on them. They it's like,
you know, never stopping. Have you guys noticed this?

Speaker 13 (02:07:12):
Oh yeah, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (02:07:14):
Ruggus?

Speaker 8 (02:07:16):
Okay, So there's three three key players involved with just
the simple addiction of smoking. You have the physical addiction,
you have the mental addiction, and you have the mechanical addiction.
And I want to focus on the mechanical addiction because
this is where the game is changed with the vapes.
The mechanical addiction of the cigarette is a temporary thing.
It's when you go you manage to go do your

(02:07:38):
cigarette break and you have that process of pulling out
your pack of cigarettes.

Speaker 10 (02:07:41):
Maybe you pack them or maybe you.

Speaker 8 (02:07:42):
Roll them, and it's in your hand and you're you're
doing all of that, that becomes an addictive patterned habit.
But then you saw the phenomenon of the fidget spinners.
That was all the craze because people have always loved
these little stress toys or to chew on their pens,
or like to always constantly have something in your hand
to be fiddling with. That thing that you're now constantly

(02:08:03):
fiddling with in this case is the vape, because they're
acceptable to be used and brought with you everywhere, and
that's their intended use.

Speaker 10 (02:08:09):
It's not like a separate thing.

Speaker 8 (02:08:11):
If they were kept in like your locker and then okay,
it's time for a smoke break, I'm gonna go get
my vape and go outside and have a vape break,
it would be completely different. But now it's seriously made
them like crack, like a NonStop crack addiction. And then
they make these other ones now that they've incentivized and
added on top of that the casino. So now you
have lights and flashing sounds and things, and of course

(02:08:34):
you have the million different bubblegum candy flavors. So the
level of the addiction on these vapes is crazy. I
would suggest Hey, parents, I'm not just making a statement.
I'm not saying to do this really, but you would
be better off if you catch your kids smoking those vapes.
Say here, just here's a pack of cigarettes. Be done
with it, because they're probably gonna better off at the

(02:08:54):
end of the day. Don't take that seriously, obviously.

Speaker 1 (02:08:57):
Yeah, you got some people like your little furry fella
there has sure.

Speaker 13 (02:09:03):
Yeah, the chug was scratching at my legs.

Speaker 1 (02:09:06):
Pick out a puppy. Love for the chug. Puppy love
for the chug. Don't take my weed vape, Patrick Henningson. Yeah,
you know, I've I have said negative things about cannabis,
and I don't want to offend any cannabis users out
there who pretend to be a persecuted class whenever you
start criticizing cannabis.

Speaker 13 (02:09:27):
Even though the whole country smells like it.

Speaker 1 (02:09:30):
Yeah, they're like they all turn into Rabbi shmoolias, and
so I'm a victim being persecuted by Patrick.

Speaker 13 (02:09:36):
I could add one more thing about the vape thing there.
Spoor and I are old school vapors, like we started
vaping before they had all these crazy high wattage atomizers
in them and you know all and it was cool
back then, you know, and it had like there were
literally three ingredients in it and we could walk into

(02:09:58):
for example, in Santa Barbara one time we walked into
a vape store and mixed our own juice. You know
what I mean, I know exactly what's in it. There's pete,
there's a certain amount of PG and veg in it.
And you know, I know what kind of I know
what kind of cottons in it because I made it myself,
you know what I mean. Like there was a diy
factor to it. And I also found that it had

(02:10:24):
it played a role in me getting over asthma. Like
I was a person that had really bad asthma until
I started doing that and for some reason it went away.
That's not medical advice, folks. I had this anecdotal I
do not know why that happened. It may have been
something else, may have been ketosis or something. But around
twenty eighteen, like late twenty eighteen, I think in the

(02:10:45):
fall of twenty eighteen, we started having a lot of
legal battles here in the United States, and Philip Morris
got involved, and all these other companies got involved, and
the USDA got involved, or the FDA, I can't remember who,
and trade deals and new policies were written and it
shut down the type of vaping that we were doing.

(02:11:06):
And it didn't hurt the lungs. You know, it felt
pretty good. But now, after all those things changed, and
in the middle of all that, something else happened. A
media slash social event happened where young kids started getting
what they called popcorn lung and a bunch of them
were hospitalized, and the media made it like, oh, we

(02:11:28):
don't really understand why this is happening, and I think
they kind of used that to nudge some of these
policy changes. But in the end the effect was all
e liquid. Now I'm not talking about cannabis vapes. I'm
just strictly talking about e cigarettes. Right now, all that
liquid is made in China. Now you cannot get made

(02:11:49):
in USA liquid for a you know, an e cigarette.
It just it doesn't work that way anymore. And you
don't know what exactly is in them. And we see
all these and it was like right on the pointy
end of the COVID spear too, you know, which was,
let's face it, a lot of respiratory stuff. So something

(02:12:13):
grifty and shifty grifty shifty happened in the vape market
like around twenty eighteen, and that was when I pretty
much quit because I started finding that it doesn't taste
the same. First of all, it used to taste rich
and sweet or savory or whatever you liked, and now
there's like this weird sacharin sort of aspar teamy. I

(02:12:38):
don't know, yeah, kind of.

Speaker 1 (02:12:40):
We can smell it in the smoke. Someone's on the
bus vaping the other day. Yeah, this is the kind
of comment that really, it just is so annoying. No
offense intended. D e Seconi. But have you had an
extended convo with Ryan at Tea Lave yet, Patrick concerning cannabis.
I mean, when people drop these comments, do you think
I'm going to be running to Ryan Christian last American

(02:13:04):
vague saying someone left the comment We've got to have
a conversation on cannabis. I just don't work like that.
I've never really made it a topic. It's just kind
of come out. I'll tell you, I don't know what
Ryan's position on cannabis says. I have no idea, but
I'll tell you that the peer reviewed research on it

(02:13:25):
shows that it can be highly addictive, highly addictive. So
anybody who says cannabis isn't addictive, it's incorrect. It can
be obviously that varies from person to person, but it
can be highly addictive more than cigarettes, Okay, And so
there's a lot of reasons for that. Rugus could probably

(02:13:46):
Doctor Ruckus could probably tell us why that might be,
because he sounds like he's read up on some of
this stuff as well.

Speaker 8 (02:13:57):
But but yeah, them with this particular substance is the
gate keeping on the science. It's never been allowed to
thoroughly have a proper investigation in side by side with
other popular things. So I'm I'm I'm still kind of
on the fence, but I'm clearly leaning. I lean more
towards it. As far as physically addictive. Again, the chemicals

(02:14:20):
that are in the cigarettes, I'm not talking about nicotine, Yes,
I think that bit by itself, the marijuana, the cannabis,
the what's the word I'm looking for, hesher. The actual
drug that's involved here in h THC is probably ba
as base level more addictive than nicotine. But the cigarettes,

(02:14:42):
I believe are physically the chemicals in there are more
addictive than the marijuana as well as pretty much any
other illicit substance that falls under the classification or use
of drugs. I think again, if you're given an option here,
if you catch your kids smoking meth or doing crack
or cocaine, they'd be better off just smoking a little

(02:15:03):
weed every once in a while. It's not gonna they're
gonna be okay, you know what I mean. And then,
but the whole concept and the culture around it, and
that substance has been so well demonized in society, in
particular in American culture, that is going to be next
to impossible that unless you happen to be a fan yourself,
to get over that. So I think that the younger
generations are much more keen to all of this, and

(02:15:25):
I think we will see in my lifetime a changing
of how the classified. I think that maybe Trump might
even be the one to do this. Finally we'll see.
But because that could open up all sorts of interesting things.
But then it opens up, like Hesher is talking about
with the vapes, they could like now swoop in replace

(02:15:46):
the good marijuana with the evil synthetic chemical laced marijuana,
which is probably most likely what will happen.

Speaker 1 (02:15:53):
I've my friends from Denver, and they've had it legal
there and decriminalized for a lot longer than the rest
of the country. And the cannabis lobby in the States,
they were lobbying hard in Arizona, I remember for years.
But now you have to send spenceries around Arizona. But
it was so decriminalized and so available and accepted in

(02:16:16):
liberal Denver that you just see kids whacked out of
their minds on the subway, the transit, on the street,
and to smoke everywhere. And young kids, you know, we're
talking fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, And because there's it's just
too easily accessible. It's easier for them to do that

(02:16:40):
than to get a hold of alcohol, because I think
the drinking age is twenty one. So the whole thing
is messed up.

Speaker 13 (02:16:49):
And sorry, I'm gonna interrupt, but my friend has a
teenage daughter and they kept catching her with THHC vapes,
you know, and I don't even I don't even think
she's sixteen, you know what I mean, she's she's in
her early teens, and she was very addicted to it,
you know. And I'm I'm always been kind of traditionally

(02:17:13):
of the mindset that you know, marijuana is not really
addictive when you compare it to physically addictive when you
compare it to like modern cigarettes and other things you know,
easier to quit than you know, pizza in some cases.
But this this young girl, she you know, I'm speaking

(02:17:35):
as an adult and and someone who who doesn't struggle
with you know, addictive personality quite as bad as you know,
some of my brothers and sisters. But they they had to,
you know, she elected to let her parents take her
to rehab so that you know, she could stop because
she was just unable to control herself and they were
so easy to get. And and the other weird thing

(02:17:56):
that sort of another modern factor that has you know,
thrown a turd in the punch bowl here when it
comes to, you know, shaping one's psyche and looking for
a you know, a head change. Is now at gas
stations and smoke shops all over the country. You can
get all these fake cannabis products and fake psychedelic mushroom

(02:18:17):
products and fake kratum products like they're right front and
center at the gas stations. You pay like forty dollars.
Don't do this kids, by the way, but you can
get these little like they call them seven hydro I think,
and it's essentially like kretum, but man, they are powerful,

(02:18:39):
like you know sportas cretem sometimes and you know, I'm
I don't really care for it, but it's it's a
curiosity to me. So I tried one of these seven
o's and I was just like, oh my gosh, you know,
and then I talked to people and it's like, you know,
we have a friend that works at this one joint
and he said, like everybody in the back room is
on them. They're like, you know, they takes six, seven
of them a day, and it's like, what is going

(02:19:02):
on here? I mean, even in Texas, where where cannabis
is illegal still you can buy these Delta eight CBDs
and these all these weird names and they're all synthetic
and lab created sort of things.

Speaker 4 (02:19:18):
You know.

Speaker 13 (02:19:19):
And everyone I know that has tried these has told
me a story like yeah, like we have a mutual friend.
The three of us have a mutual friend who told
Spoor and I a story about it. A local if
that helps you nail down who it is who told
us a story about taking some of that stuff and
just you know, being in a bad situation, a really
bad situation, and that stuff is the easiest to get

(02:19:42):
for kids, and we don't have the thing with marijuana
is it's been around for forever and we all kind
of know its effect and know what to expect and
know the various ways in which people behave on it.
But these these new lab things not so much. We
don't know what the long term help health effects are.
We don't really know everything that's inside them. So, like

(02:20:04):
Kurt says right there on screen, synthetic high aligns with
synthetic life.

Speaker 1 (02:20:09):
Yeah. Yeah, and that's the bottom line, Kurt Boss. Yeah again,
fountain of wisdom, a philosopher, you know, rubbing the philosopher's
stone there with Kurt Boss. It's true, It's true. And
that's that's probably why I, you know, I you know,
I don't I try to avoid these things now because yeah,

(02:20:34):
I'm I know a lot of artists that, you know,
musician's especially, that they just absolutely insist that this is
how they open up their creative chakras, and you know,
they get the inspiration and how they do their masterpieces
and stuff like that. But that might be the case

(02:20:54):
when you're younger, but if you continue doing that as
you get older, you might run into issues with them,
especially if it escalates into other things and other behaviors
and procrastination. This is also a big side effect of
cannabis that can actually be a problem as an adult.
Procrastination that can really be a big obstacle. So it's like, oh, yeah,

(02:21:22):
I got to do that, but let's roll a joint first,
and your life just becomes a series of segments and
whatever needs to get done just keeps getting pushed back.
And that's that. That's a side effect people don't talk about,
but it's very real.

Speaker 10 (02:21:39):
For a man saying about it that famous song, right because.

Speaker 1 (02:21:44):
He nailed it. He nailed it. A lot of people
culit cannabis after hearing that song.

Speaker 13 (02:21:49):
Yeah, very powerful. Yeah, the vitamin factor.

Speaker 1 (02:21:54):
Vitamin I like that. Yeah, this is all true. We're
talking truth truths here. These are all truths, well established truths,
universal truths which cannot be denied nor debunked. We speak
really powerful truths on this program. Listen. Awesome, Thank you

(02:22:15):
everybody for participating. Last one. I promised this last one,
but it had to be put on screen. Joe Rogan
is the ambassador of DMT and THD, don't underestimate thc.

Speaker 9 (02:22:29):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (02:22:31):
Okay, Joe Rogan is the usurper ambassador of DMT. Terrence
McKenna is the true ambassador of DMT.

Speaker 1 (02:22:39):
That's right, that's right. Joe Rogan can afford to microdos
and play around and stuff because you know, he's got
one hundred and fifty million in the bank, so it
doesn't matter. He's got people doing stuff for him. Just
show up, turn on the thing, put your headphones on.
It's all done for him. He doesn't have to cue
up the stream or anything.

Speaker 13 (02:22:59):
Amazing producers, the way he breaks Texas law on camera
every day and has the most popular show on the internet.

Speaker 1 (02:23:07):
It's great. Yeah, it's great. So yes, that's right. Procrastination
is a symptom of trauma. Yeah, and other things too. Okay,
wrap it up, folks, Thank you, Kurt Boss, thanks Ruckus,
Hesher for a great show. Big fists, lots of bull's eyes,
that's right, lots of truth today. Thank you everybody for

(02:23:29):
showing up. Thank you everybody in our comments streams. Big
thank you to Hesher, Ruckus and also our audience again.
Final thoughts, gentlemen, before we close the stream, hasher take
us away.

Speaker 11 (02:23:43):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (02:23:44):
Well, you know, I'd say I would channel Hulk Hogan
and tell you kids to say your prayers and eat
your vitamins. But Hulk Hogan's life story is not exactly
and wholesome enough for the children, So I will leave
that one right there. Join us for boiler Room. We
got a new episode out, came out Thursday night. It's
on the website Alternate Current Radio dot com. Check us

(02:24:04):
out over there. Be sure and subscribe on YouTube to
Alternate Current Radio. On Rumble to boiler Room on x
AT hasher Media and ac underscore word Slinger to get
ruckus and I. We're also doing a bit of a
micro donation drive here. We're looking to migrate off of
spreaker and into a platform that's going to allow us

(02:24:28):
to get our live audio embeds back on the pages.
So if anyone wants to jump in and help us
accomplish that, it's a very small goal. We're only trying
to make a thousand dollars on this one, so we've
lost our ability to enjoy the live radio aspect of
Alternate Current Radio, so it's kind of a big deal.

(02:24:49):
We've had a couple of people throw into that swear jar.
So far that donation jar.

Speaker 1 (02:24:55):
For where is that available? Where can people donate.

Speaker 13 (02:24:58):
Alternate Current Radio forward slash support or just go to
Alternate Current Radio dot com and hit the main menu
and you'll see there it is on Ruckus's stream.

Speaker 1 (02:25:08):
Only bring that line expand Ruckus there. Okay, that's it's
Alternate Current Radio dot com. There's a link to Alternate
Current Radio dot Com on the show on our show post,
as well as below our YouTube and rumble streams as well.
In the information you'll see the link to Alternate Current Radio.
I see the PayPal link. So you need one thousand
dollars to shift onto a new platform for for for

(02:25:31):
the audio streams.

Speaker 13 (02:25:32):
Yes, yeah, it's gonna give us a lot more than that,
though it's gonna make our monthly overhead a little bit
lower as it's cheaper than spreaker and it is. It's
got more features and we can upload video there has
cool features like we can go straight from video to
blog or straight from video to podcast MP three and

(02:25:55):
it's gonna have better embeds I think.

Speaker 9 (02:25:57):
So.

Speaker 13 (02:25:57):
Yeah, we're looking at moving to Podbean under the networking
account and if you pay it annually you get a
significant discount, so that's what we're looking to raise.

Speaker 1 (02:26:07):
So okay, that's a good investment. I think that's a
good investment. It's going to upgrade the quality and availability
and the seamlessness between audio and video content, which is
which is what you want to it's what you want
to have. So yeah, let's let's make that happen. Everybody,
go to Alternate Current Radio dot com has sure throw
up the logo there for ACR. Up on your stream

(02:26:32):
as well. There it is, folks, Alternate Current Radio dot
Com again, link on our show page as well as
in the descriptions below the live videos on bit shoot,
Rumble and YouTube as well. And so make that happen
for ACR this week, folks. It's not it's not a lot,
but thousand thousand collectively that's doable. We can make that

(02:26:54):
happen this week. So there it is. Go to acr's website.
Thank you very much. Sure appreciate it, and check out
the boiler room. That's the US that's what it looks like.
That's the studio. That's actually what it looks like when
they're filming it. It's evil clowns conspiring. No, that's what

(02:27:16):
you guys are exposing Actually it's not the studio.

Speaker 13 (02:27:19):
Sometimes you got to fight fire with fire.

Speaker 1 (02:27:21):
That's right, Ruckus take us away, final thoughts, wishes, hopes.

Speaker 8 (02:27:26):
Plus we're gonna make ACR great again. So we got
the MAGA thing going there.

Speaker 9 (02:27:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:27:33):
At Alternate Current Radio dot com you'll find my more
recent episodes of something I call Round About Ruckus, which
is usually my most recent appearances on Weaponized News, which
is hosted by Sam Cheney. I've been doing that pretty
much regularly on Wednesdays. Sometimes I do it on Mondays,
but I think we're switching it to Wednesdays. But regardless,

(02:27:54):
I encourage folks to check that program out because you
get some hard news two hours every night Monday through.
You can get caught up what's going on before you
come join us for Sunday Wire to cap out the week.
So if you want to stay informed in between visiting
twenty first Century Wires website and Alternate Current Radios programs,

(02:28:14):
check out Weaponized News. You'll also see me over there,
so there's another good reason to do that. Thanks for
having me here, Patrick, This has been a fun one.
Glad we didn't get into the weeds. No pun intended
over a hotly contested topic there towards the end, I'm
sure you're going to get all sorts of fun messages
throughout the day.

Speaker 10 (02:28:34):
Have fun with that. Thanks for having me, and I
hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:28:40):
Thank you very much. And again, also Daily Ruckus on
Alternatecurrentradio dot com, as well as the other program Ruckus,
Roundabout Ruckus and I dig the studio environment, the news theme. Gentlemen,
I appreciate that. That's sharp, that's sharp, that's looking good.
We like that. A lot of subliminal messages there hid

(02:29:02):
in the background. I see a few disturbing things, but
we'll leave it there. Take care you guys, and big
thank you to our teammates at Alternate Current Radio, and
a big thank you to you our audience, because you
guys make it happen, and thank you for joining us.
I hope it's been informative. I hope it's been enlightening.

(02:29:25):
Certainly it has for some judging by the thousands of
comments that are pouring in on the streams, so unbelievable engagement.
Appreciate you, guys. So if you are engaged with the
content and you do like what we do, you like
this experience. You like this omnibus variety show that we
do that is absolutely unique and you guys are so

(02:29:47):
on the money with your commentary. That's the winter one.
Let's get something new here there we go support and
we did have a very good response after last week's
Sunday Wire on donations. Some of you chipped in. I
saw some ten some twenty dollars donations there. Amazing, so
appreciate you guys chipping in as well as a couple

(02:30:08):
of subscribers at twenty one wires. So take out a membership.
It's around five dollars a month, but that's huge for
us in terms of support. If we can get more
people on the twenty one wire dot tv subscription, that's
how we make things happen. We can plan and budget
for stuff the more of you become monthly donors on

(02:30:29):
this so as you can see we're doing. We're doing
some great reporting up on the website and Freddie Ponton
and other members of our team, as well as the
viral videos you'll see across TikTok. We're starting to move
on Instagram a little bit, starting to move on TikTok
had a couple two hundred thousand view videos viral videos

(02:30:49):
that we're putting out daily daily, So we have a
team and we're working hard to beat the algorithms. So
we need your help. Like and subscribe on YouTube. Guys,
are on the YouTube screen stream and you haven't liked
and subscribed and put a comment, put a comment under
the YouTube stream. YouTube is throttling us so bad. And

(02:31:12):
it took us ten years to break into twenty thousand subscribers.
They had us held at fifteen for a decade. Okay,
I know I'm on the blacklist, Okay, and for some
reason still there. They don't want me people like me
of course getting a breakout capacity on these platforms. So
it's up to you guys to help us to push it.

(02:31:34):
Push it for us and listen. Even if we can
get up to fifty thousand subscribers, that would be a
huge win for us. But at the moment, it's heavily throttled,
heavily suppressed, and we need your help to break through
break through some of those barriers. Anyway, we're working doing
what we can behind the scenes. But Rumble, we've been
doing some very good numbers on Rumble, so it's a

(02:31:56):
little a lot less throttled on Rumble, So thank you
to everybody on that platform. But yeah, leave a comment
on YouTube, subscribe like the video, and leave a comment
in the thread. Even if it's a one sentence, it's enough. Yeah,
as long as it's like six seven words, it'll be
enough to trigger the algorithm at least. So thank you

(02:32:16):
you guys who've done that. Anyway, this is the Sunday Wire,
Great midweek Wire if you missed it with Freddy Ponton.
Hopefully we'll have another great one this week. It's going
