It's that you have two people who are very passionate and you have two people who really care about America just in different ways. Right. Yeah. Like they did. And you know, like you can talk about left wing, right wing, but a bird needs both to fly. All right, guys.

Ryan Macbeth is here today. We're back and we got a lot to talk about the show and he brought, uh, brought some good advice. One of the smartest things you could get is a USB hardware key you you plug this into your computer and Essentially when you try to log into a website Unless this hardware token is detected inside your computer. You can't get in really Wow, everything everything I have is locked with the hardware key. Wow.

But what if you lose that? Well, you have a second. Now I did, Sean, thank you so much for inviting me back. I did bring you gifts because, because I love you. So of course whiskey. Makers Mark. This is Dana's right? Dana White.

This is correct. Yeah. I've seen him drink this stuff. Thank you. And my novel, I've seen him drink this stuff. Thank you. And my novel, The Wind Machine. Let's go. Number six in psychological thrillers. No, financial thrillers.

Financial thrillers. It is number six in financial thrillers on Amazon. I love it. I didn't even know that was a category. Imagine Dr. Strange owned a hedge fund. That's essentially my book. This guy, a hedge fund manager predicts a war with China. Really?

So that's what you wrote about. And it's apparently like people like it. And what's crazy is this book is about 80% meetings and people freaking love it. I don't know what the heck it is. Like, why do you like this book so much? After I wrote it, you know, when you write a book, and this is only the, I guess, the second time I've written a book, I only did it because my fans asked for it. Mm-hmm.

I'm not a writer, but I, after I read the book, you know, wrote the book, you read it like 20 freaking times during the editing process with the editor. And I was like, oh my God god this whole book is about meetings because these people who work for the hedge fund they just go to meeting after meeting after meeting to decide what's going on but people freaking love it and it's exciting I mean people like the show suits and that was all meetings I guess you know yeah you're right or maybe what was another show success succession yeah the all meetings I guess there's a lot guess, was more of the meetings.

But yeah, I think people are captivated with the China possibility of a war, you know. It's very... It's terrifying in a lot of ways. Because they are slowly gaining this capability. Just recently, H.I. Sutton, who runs the covert shores, the covert shores Twitter account, he also has a YouTube account as well. He talked about landing barges. Have you been to Taiwan? I haven't. I've been to Beijing, not Taiwan. So apparently, China's constructed these floating piers, floating barges slash piers. And the idea is that these barges have a ramp.

You know, like the siege towers, like when you're watching those medieval, yeah, you know, where the ramp comes down. And so if you look at Taiwan, they only have like three beaches, but the rest of the island is rocky and there's usually like a ring road that goes around the island, at least on the western, northwestern part of the island. So the idea is that these barges roll up, they drop the ramp down like that, the tanks come right off the ramp. And these barges, they are essentially jack barges where they put these jacks into the sediment and they're semi-permanent, right? Like they're designed to be there for just as long as it takes to conduct the operation

and throw the boat away. But there is no civilian use for these boats. Zero civilian use. Wow. So they've constructed at least six, I believe, believe jack barges five or six jack barges with roadways a different lunch. Which might be because like a different areas of taiwan a different lunch to reach out to that ring road so i just did a video about that. And literally the other day i did a video about signs were. We're gonna see China considering

invading Taiwan. One of which is blood drives. Blood drives? It's actually in this book. What is a blood drive? Well, you know, when you go to the Red Cross and you donate blood, right? So when you go to the Red Cross and you donate blood, you're going to need to do that for soldiers who are wounded.

In China, just culturally you don't donate blood, you're going to need to do that for soldiers who are wounded. In China, just culturally you don't donate blood. And a lot of that goes...

80s when they didn't really screen the blood that well, and people who were donating plasma and blood got HIV. And so just like in China, it's just not something you do. But if we start seeing the Chinese government encourage people donate blood, we're going to have a Guinness Book of World Record for blood donated on Monday. Yeah, because they got a bill over a billion. All right. That's, that's a sign that China might be considering invading Taiwan. So is moving away from the swift banking system. They have their own system called chips, which is mainly used by Chinese banks talking to other Chinese banks.

But if China says, hey, you need to use our banking system if you want to do business in China, that's another possible indicator. But I feel I'm overwhelming this conversation. No, I'm interested. You know, there's always been talks of China, Taiwan, but it's seeming like it's increasing possibility as the days go on I mean if you're building invasion ships, yeah I've said before that that the two most likely times to invade or 2017

2027 That's when a presidency has said China's the PLA and the PLAF, People's Liberation Army, PLAF, People's Liberation Army Air Force, PLAN, People's Liberation Army Navy. They must be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. If I were Chinese, China's culture is 5,000 years old. You think America has culture? Wait till you hear about China. Right? 5,000 years of. You think you think America has culture. We hear about China, right? 5,000 years of culture.

Yeah, they can wait. They can wait an extra year. It's what I would do. I would wait an extra year until 2028. What happens in 2028 presidential election? So now you're going to have most likely JD Vance running for president along with several democratic contenders, they'll, they'll, they'll find someone right.

Gavin Newsome will find some. He's under a lot of heat right now. Literally. Yeah, literally, literally. Really a lot of heat. Maybe we should have cleared that brush. I told you that this is like, this can, this can go both ways. You can talk about the wildfires.

You can talk about TikTok. She would talk about the wildfires, you can talk about TikTok. So you had talked about, like, Ryan, you know, what were some of the items of misinformation that you saw in California wildfires. And one of the things I've seen, I've seen like three, basically. The first is I've seen people talk about, oh, California is only getting $770 payments. It's all up from the government. They are getting some, but it was the same in the Maui wildfires. It was the same in North Carolina. When the disaster happens, FEMA rolls into town.

They say here's a gift card for 700 and some dollars. Use that to buy infant formula, go to Walmart, get yourself some clothes, medications, whatever you need, come back tomorrow and fill out your stuff for the real aid. The people are fixated on that $700 thing. So that's one of the things. The other was that it was Alex Jones, which, okay, he said that firefighters were using handbags to put out fires because their engines had been sent to Ukraine.

And really, apparently there are these canvas bags that firefighters use almost like as a bucket brigade thing when you don't need to bring a hose, you just need like a little bit of water to dump on the fire. So really, that was what they were using. They're not handbags. They're handbags. They're not like Birkenbeck. Was there any equipment sent to Ukraine?

I believe the US or other NATO nations have sent firefighting equipment and ambulances. I know that we've we've had I think Jake Bro. Jake Bro. I don't know. He's out of Las Las Vegas you should have Jake bro on your show I will get you in touch with Jake please I love he is an amazing human being Jake bro Jake bro BRO he he was a former he's a former missile guy a missile man in the air force so he sat next to nuclear all the He didn't sit next to nuclear missiles. They're like a couple miles away, but he's in a capsule. Finger over the button of a nuclear, nuclear missile. Learned a lot about nuclear missiles from him, but he's had fun drives where like

he's tried to raise money to bring ambulances, bring trucks, stuff like that. And the third thing, I just heard this in the Uber coming over here today, where this woman said, uh, yeah, the, the government started the fires because the government started the fire fires in California because they wanted to create a smart city and put a chip in everybody's hand. And I mean, like, look, we already have a chip in our hand, right? We, we carry this around voluntarily. And we give up our data.

Yes, Apple here. Here's our data. Please take it. You know, give me an easier way to check out by going like that with our phone really on our wrist. I actually remember back when when they said the sign of the beast was going to be on your head or on your wrist, right? Something like that. Like this, this Christian notion of the antichrist and you need something on your head or your

hand to pay for goods. And you know, now you got your Apple watch and you got your freaking Apple goggles. What are those called? Oh, the Apple glasses or Apple vision pro. Yeah. And now the Facebook has one, the medic glasses with Ray ban. I don't know if you can paper stuff, but maybe. Yeah, I'm not sure.

I know you ever court people now. That's nuts. Yeah. So you could just be somewhere and recording people without them knowing. I can only imagine. Well, there's gotta be a light that comes on, right? Some, I don't know. Someone told me they had them on the other day and I didn't even notice it.

So I think it's pretty subtle. That's amazing. Yeah. Obviously there's a lot of people saying there's foul play in that fire situation, but you pride yourself on being evidence-based. Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that there's probably people who, I know this happened in New Orleans,

where after the flood, Hurricane Katrina, some houses were flooded. And then I know some people in New Orleans where after the flood, her King Katrina, some houses were flooded. And then I know some people were like paying cops, like here's $5,000. Please go into my neighborhood, find this house, light this house on fire. What? Because if you don't have flood insurance, your house floods, you're out of luck. If you do have flood insurance, you're going to be okay. If you don't have flood insurance, your house floods, and then it burns down, now you get the money.

Wow. So people were paying New Orleans police officers, hey, go in. Yeah, I saw Andrew Schieberman posted a video of someone literally lighting a fire. I mean, I could picture that. I could picture someone like, you know what, my ex-wife lives in this neighborhood. Yeah. I'm going to get her. But there's also people saying the actual start of the fires were like, you know,

I mean, it could be anything careless smoking, uh, campfires, fricking, you get, you have pyromaniacs all over the place. Right. And that whole area. I mean, I guess we're at the point now where we're kind of realizing this wasn't well managed, right? Like you have, I'm not a forest person. I got, I don't know how you manage a forest, but I assume keeping dead brush

on the floor of the forest probably isn't a good idea. You know, but I also, I don't know how you stop a hundred mile an hour winds. True. Like how, how do you, you know, if there's a small fire, winds make it into a big fire and the embers fly over. I don't know how you fix that. Maybe if you tile roofs, like roofs that can't catch on fire, but you know, if you get vegetation catching on fire and then your windows melt or blow out because of the, well, no, everything

in your house is, it might be fireproof to a certain degree. Yeah. I saw a crazy video yesterday. Uh, Chinese government, I don't know if it's Chinese government, but the firefighters in China have these drones. I don't know if you've seen this video, we'll throw it up, but they can shoot water out of them and there was a burning building and they use these drones to shoot water at it. How big are these drones?

Cause water is pretty heavy. Yeah. It's not a lot of water. They have to keep refueling coming back. But sounds like the Chinese have some very advanced drones. You would know about that more than me though. Yeah, I guess I would know about that. I'm actually not familiar with that. I would think that firefighting drones are probably more useful at spotting fires, using thermal cameras to say, Hey, there's a fire, there's a hotspot here. There's a hotspot there.

Let's get a water tanker on that. Yeah. I don't see why you couldn't turn a drone into the size of a helicopter and make that unmanned and have that, you know, take that with a Bambi bucket, which are those buckets that come down and they dip into the, yeah, dip into the water and fly over whatever I don't need. I mean, the difference between controlling a small drone, controlling a helicopter, the Bambi bucket, it's.

It shouldn't be that different. You're going to have to account for the extra weight and the pendulum effect of the Bambi bucket. Yeah. These ones seem pretty big and it was a high rise building. So that makes sense because the regular firefighters wouldn't be able to reach that high. Right. You know, when you take security classes, you know, when you work with the US government,

one of the things they say is don't ever get a hotel room above the sixth floor. Really? It's part of your security training. It's good to know, you know, like ideally like third floor, fourth floor, because you're, you're above where people can just like Brown floor walk into your hotel or smash your window and buy your stuff or look through your stuff. And second or third floor, you're going to survive a fall fourth floor.

It's iffy fifth floor, you're not surviving that fall. But you have to get out second floor, third floor? That's the optimum floor. That's so good. So if you, if I mean, dude, anybody who works for the government, you've taken terrorist training, like they tell you how far away you should be from the exits of the hotel, because you want to be far enough away that people can't come up the stairs and quickly enter your room, but also close enough that you can reach

the exit. Yeah. You should always know where the exits are. come up the stairs and quickly enter your room, but also close enough that you can reach the exit. You should always know where the exits are. So when you get a hotel, you go like, all right, I'm here. Where's the closest exit? Where's the second closest exit? Because if there's a terrorist attack, where do I need to go?

And I watched the Sean Ryan show, there's that whistleblower, I forget her name, but she's basically talking about potential terrorist attacks. I don't know if you've seen that episode. I think it was Sarah Adams. I think it was I don't really watch the show Yeah, Sarah Adams. So like she's basically saying some weapons have gotten in the country. Have you seen that across the border? I'd have to look it up, but she was saying it got across the Mexican border. I mean we have plenty of weapons here She said too concerned with. Well, you can go to a gun store,

you can buy a semi-automatic rifle. It's a pretty darn effective weapon if you want to be a bad guy. And you look at the Mandalay Bay shooter. That guy might've, oh boy, I hope I don't get you to monetize. Uh, I think they're over that incident now. Um, but you look at the Mandalay Bay shooter, he probably would've been

more effective if he didn't put a bump stock, you know, to simulate automatic fire on his weapon. He was in a perfect position, you know, uh, an elevated position. Um, so yeah, I don't know if you, if you need to worry about weapons getting a perfect position, an elevated position. I don't know if you need to worry about weapons getting into the country. We have plenty of guns here. That's actually a good thing. I'm armed right now. Really?

Yeah. Wow. I have a carry permit in DC, Virginia, or in Maryland. There is a terrorist attack. I'm going to be okay. Yeah. or in Maryland, so, you know, I There is a terrorist attack I'm gonna be okay. Yeah The gun isn't for killing the terrorists it is if the terrorists is in my way between Here and here and getting away. Well, you know, at least I have a fighting chance But yeah, you're not you're you, you don't go and fight the terrorists to use the gun to fight your way through any bad guys to get the safety.

Yeah. I'm not John McClain, right? I'm not going after the terrorists. Um, one good advantage about being in the United States is we are armed. And if there is a terrorist, uh, he might not be a terrorist for very long. If there's a couple of people in the crowd or arm Mandalay Bay, that probably didn't matter because guys in the way high up, you're not using a pistol against that. Yeah.

I texted you before I came here because I was just seeing on X people were freaking out about the safety issues of the inauguration, you know, and now they moved in doors. So it, I think there was a, what was it? The Miller. Who was the guy, there was one president who died 30 days after the inauguration. I don't remember, I think roughly a month after the inauguration because he caught a cold.

Like, they were in the cold. It's going to be really cold tomorrow. Like 27 degrees, it is going to snow tonight. That's a safety issue. Not safety issue is like someone's going to shoot up a place, but think about safety issue in the sense of 27 degrees, freezing cold, you have snipers. Really marksman, not snipers. Yeah. You have marksman up on the roofs of some of these buildings laying there

for hours in the cold. That is a safety issue for these guys. You have police officers out in the cold. You have soldiers out in the cold with and some of our uniforms are really not designed for super cold weather. There are Russians. You also have police, if police horses, you know, think about, all right, can we bring a police horse out in 27 degree web?

Right. So that might be kind of an issue. Uh, just, just, it's just, it's a force protection issue. Yeah. Right. So why not bring it inside? And I'm not too concerned about some sort of attack. BC, do you do this all? Is this your first time here? Second. Second time here? The first time

I was here for like a few hours. Yeah. Like this place is so used to it. I used to work on Connecticut or on, yeah, Connecticut, Connecticut Avenue. And like we would see the vice president's convoy go by all the time, his suburbans, right? All the time. It's just like the level of security is normal here. It's weird you go into museums or just regular government buildings. NOAA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which is on my street. Yeah. In Silver Spring. Noah has armed guards, right? Like who's attacking Noah? It doesn't matter. It's a federal building. They have armed guards. You get x-rayed when you walk

into the building or you go through the metal detector. So, raid when you walk into the building or you go through the metal detector. So. You know, if there's one, one place that can handle some kind of crazy shooting and some you see cops over 5,000 boots on the ground for the inauguration. It's a lot of people of military or police officers. It's a lot. Yeah. It's a lot of people.

It's that's more than It's a lot. Yeah. It's a lot of people. It's, that's more than, God, it's more than most towns. Yeah. When you think about it, I mean, what, New York has, New York has 25,000 officers. It was 40, 25 or 45,000 officers. It's a lot, but New York, the public transit is not the safest right now. I know that. For being honest. And now with the congestion pricing, yeah, I talked to a woman and they're scared to take the transit.

Really? Yeah. I actually have to go up for another podcast on Tuesday. So I'm going up Monday. And we're on Monday, I have a podcast on Tuesday. I'm going up in New York. And you got your concealed permit, so you're good. Actually, my permit isn't valid in New York.

I have to get a separate New York permit. New York is pretty strict, I heard actually. They're pretty hard compared to other states. Well, that goes back to the Sullivan Act. So when, you know, New York was always mobbed. Yeah. And when you pass the Sullivan Act, essentially, so like these darn Irish immigrants don't get guns. Hey, I'm Irish.

I know, I am too. Well, we're the right kind of Irish. We're from Northern Ireland. The other kind of Irish that they didn't like, you know, they didn't want those guys to get guns. And Solven Act was a way of preventing regular people from defending themselves. That way the gangsters who were paying the politicians would have a monopoly. Yeah. Do you think that was an effective thing to do?

Doesn't seem like it, right? Yeah, cause there's always that debate if you ban guns, like does it actually help? Probably not. Probably not, right? But again, like if you, when you think about it, like if you kind of, it's like this, it's a self fulfilling prophecy in a way.

If it makes it, if you make it difficult to purchase firearms Then a lot of people will never grow up like that. How do most people encounter firearms? Well, their dad took them hunting right or they there in the military whatever But if you grow up without ever encountering a firearm, it's not a big deal to you Years ago, I remember New Jersey banned the use of ATVs altering You know those quads, you know on state parks and New Jersey banned the use of ATVs altering, you know, those quads, you know, on state parks. And New Jersey said, don't worry, we're going to build three parks where you can ride these ATVs. I don't think they ever built them.

Wow. But that was what they said. And I remember I heard about that law and I thought, I don't care one bit about that. I've never been on an ATV. I don't know anybody who owns an ATV. And, and I don't I have no intention of ever going on an ATV ever. Like maybe if I want someone's farm, we need to go one place together. Right? Maybe I'll take an ATV. I think a lot of people who grew up without firearms, whenever someone passes some wacky new firearm while they go, I don't own a gun. I don't care.

Good point. And then because something like COVID comes along and they go crap, I need a gun. And they go, I just go in the store and buy it. You mean I have to go through all this? It was the first thing I did when I moved to Nevada. He's you went straight to the gun store.

Yeah, yeah. I remember the dear. Do you ever read that book by Blake Crouch? It was also it was called Dark Matter. It was also a little series. Yeah. There's a scene in that where this guy, he lives in Illinois and goes to, he goes to buy a gun.

And they, essentially Dark Matter is about multiple versions of this guy and multiple realities. You know, he invents a machine that can go into multiple dimensions. And pretty soon other versions of him guy in multiple realities. You know, he invents a machine that can go into multiple dimensions and pretty soon other versions of him are hunting him in his dimension. Yeah. Because they all want his wife.

What? Yeah, like apparently like he, it's a long story. Essentially there was a dimension where this guy was a physics genius and because he was a physics genius. And because he was a physics genius, he lost his girlfriend. And so he finds a way to go across dimensions and he notices the girl in the main character's dimension. So he kidnaps the main character

and he kind of assumes his life. So when the main character comes, finally finds a way back to his dimension, he goes to the gun store and he's like, yeah, I want to buy a gun. What do you want? I don't know. Oh, here's a Glock. Okay.

Where's your foid card? Foid firearms ID card. What's a foid card? That's the guy who votes for gun control. Right? Like that's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, this is gun control. That's not what I voted for. Yeah, it kind of is buddy.

That's nuts, man. Um, I, oh, I forgot to ask this when I mentioned Sean Ryan earlier. I know you guys had some back and forth. Are you guys on good terms now? I don't know the guy. I have no idea. I feel you on good terms. I, you have to be on terms in the first place to be on good terms.

Right. Um, you know, I, uh, yeah, I don't really watch the guy's show. I'm pretty sure he doesn't watch my show. We're in like two different worlds. So I assume so. You know, I, I had, uh, I had gotten something way wrong. And I made a whole video explaining where I went wrong. I apologize.

I saw that. And he seemed like, you know what? I don't care, dude. And we're in just two separate worlds. Yeah. I don't really. I mean, I assume so. I'm never going to go on a show.

I'm not going to go on Joe Rogan either. Don't say that. I mean, that's possible. You know, I don't think that I'll draw the ratings. Rogan has on all sorts of people, people with no views. I mean, I could definitely see you on there. Maybe I've had a lot of guests on my show. I mean, about the closest thing that I would be would be like Peter Zion. Okay.

Peter Zion. He, I think he's been on Joe Rogan once or twice. I just don't think I'm controversial enough. I could definitely see you on Pierce Morgan debating some conspiracy theorists. I think he would bring you on. I have never done a debate before and like Destiny and I'm friends. It's weird. I'm friends with Destiny and I'm friends with Sebastian Gorka.

I can like them both equally. Yeah. And, you know, Destiny, I think he asked me like, you know, Ryan, you know, you should do a debate debate. Why would I do a debate? Look, this is the way it is. I'm not trying to get you can believe me or you cannot believe me. Yeah. But the percentage chance of this being correct is this number. There's no debate to that.

You're very logical. You're rooted in evidence. Yeah. And, you know, like, I think debate like you can maybe debate like, is, I don't know, is gun control good? You know, like, there's there is some personal experience with that. Or there's, you know, but from like a logical standpoint, like, like, is China preparing to invade Taiwan? There's no debate. Here's the here's the pictures of the ships that they're building. I can't convince you know, like, and, you know, when people say debate, did you ever

watch The Last King of Scotland? Last King of Scotland. The Edie Amin, the Edie Amin movie. Can't say I have. Blasken, Scotland, Edie, I mean, the Edie, I mean, moving cancer. So this Edie, I mean, he was the the dictator of my gosh, Nigeria. Oh, my God. I flew out of my head. The country he was a dictator of. Pretty sure it was Nigeria. But this guy, he.

He really loves Scottish culture. He found this Scottish doctor who was like working in this country and he essentially like made this Scottish doctor his prized advisor. Well, one day, Edie Amin wants to kick all the Chinese out of his country because he needs someone to blame for something. The Chinese run a lot of the stores and businesses and stuff. And so, you know, the Scottish doctor says, Hey, if you do this, your economy is going to go to hell.

Well, you do mean does. And then afterwards he blames, okay, our economy has just gone to hell. And the Scottish doctor says, well, I told you don't do it. And he didn't mean this is one of the best lines ever in a movie. He goes, but you did not convince me. Oh, you did not persuade me, but you did not convince me. Oh, you did not persuade me, but you did not persuade me. And like kind of that, that's my job, right? My job is maybe it's not a debate. I have to persuade you, look, here's this evidence, here's this evidence, and here's

this evidence. And hopefully this will persuade you that, all right, this is daddy L baddie. This is where daddy L baddie is living. This is where daddy El-Baddy is living. This is the car that daddy El-Baddy is driving. We can kill daddy El-Baddy at this crossroads when there's no traffic and there's the, you know, we have to do it at one o'clock for the school lets out, the school down the road lets out. Yeah, I could see that. That's why Destiny is a good debater because he'll bring studies, he'll bring evidence,

he'll bring facts. Even though I'm conservative, I'll admit he's a really good debater. That guy, I, it, well, I think maybe one of the reasons I can like both Sebastian Gorka and, and Stephen Bonnell's and destiny, it's that you have two people who are very passionate and you have two people who really care about America just in different ways. Right. Like they did. And you know, like you can talk about left wing, right wing, but a bird needs both to

fly. Yeah. Right. You know, but I think he does a heck of a lot of research before he rolls into his debates. I've heard, I think I've heard two debates with him. It's not my thing. Like I have a finite amount of time, you know? So I can't, I can't, I don't.

I think you'd do well, honestly. You should potentially try it this year. A debate? Yeah. I wouldn't even, I mean, am I allowed to smoke at this debate? You'd be allowed to at the right setting. Yeah. I like, I can't smoke here.

I don't know what to do with my hands. I'm sure if you debate Andrew Tate, you'll both be smoking. Andrew Tate. Is he still around? Yeah, he's going at it with Ben Shapiro right now. I'm not sure if you've seen that. Yeah, it's pretty pretty back and forth. I mean, I have been so stuck in.

He just announced he's running for prime minister, actually. Andrew Tate of the UK. Really? Yeah. What? Harvard? I don't know exactly, but he announced it a few weeks ago. of the UK. Really? Yeah. What part? I don't know exactly, but he announced it a few weeks ago. OK, I mean. OK, I mean, I suppose that is something a person can do. Yeah. I mean, it would be nice to smoke in airplanes again.

I wouldn't like that, actually. Yeah, I'm good with that. I don't know. I look at. Yeah, I guess you could do something like that. I mean, maybe we might be entering a point where the people are shaking up who they vote for, right? Like, you just want some kind of change because the status quo doesn't seem to be working for the majority of Americans. And that might my Uber driver, you know, speaking with this Uber driver, I mean, she had a cracked window.

Right. She was telling me she had a piece of pizza for breakfast and she's hoping to earn, I guess, I don't know if Lyft sent you money directly. Like every time you do a ride, but she was like, you know, like, hey, my I'm I'm, I'm glad you're in my fair because this is a good fair and I can get a cup of coffee afterwards. I was like, damn, you know, here's, let me give you some cash. Wow. I would, I would have stopped to get her coffee cause I could have used some coffee as well.

But you know, I, yeah, like I would have stopped to get her coffee. Uh, if I wasn't, that's nice of you. It's good that you're dealing with everyday people. Cause some people are in DC or so in their own bubble, you know, you hear that all the time about DC, like you, I've dated dating in DC. Yeah. So there was this girl, uh, I remember we were, uh, this one girl, she talked about the, the FAD missile system.

Like she said, there was a, uh, uh, terminal high out. What kind of girls are you dating? Well, women in their 50s who were, I'm almost 50, dude. And I look young, but women in their late 40s, early 50s who are single because of course, right? And like their policy walks and all they do all day is they think about missile defense. I think one woman, I went out with her and she talked about how she works for a group that does drone policy. Interesting. And you have to nod and you listen.

And one other thing about dating in DC, if they don't know who you are, they say who do you work for? Because they want to see where you are in the hierarchy. Because if you work for an NGO, non-governmental organization, you're down here. Really? Yeah. Yeah. You're the lowest of the lowest who work for an NGO.

If you work for like a law firm, maybe you're a little bit above. You work for a contractor, you're a little bit below the law firm. If you work on the Hill, on Capitol Hill, a little bit more clout, depends on who you work for, what your position is in their staff. Government agency below Capitol Hill, White House, it's kind of, you're getting to the top tier, but it depends. You work in the Eisenhower office building or do you work in the White House where you work in the White House, it's kind of you're getting to the top here. But it depends. You're going to be Eisenhower office building or do you work in the White House where you work in the White House?

Hmm. So if you're working. Wow. So there's levels. So, yeah, the question is, if I date you, where does that put me in the social hierarchy? So do you think about that, too, with the woman you date or not? I'm almost 50. I think I can. I think I can choose. You think I can choose? You think I'm going like, wow, she only worked like now.

All right. She's a woman and she likes me. I'm good. I feel that. Wow. Pretty. Yeah. I didn't know DZ was like that. Reminds me of college being a freshman freshman guy. They say you were always at the bottom of the totem pole because you couldn't get into parties. Yeah. Unless you have money, I guess.

Not even money. Like you need to be there. Five girls with you at Rutgers or you're screwed. Five to one ratio. There's, wait, wait, wait. Five guys for every girl at Rutgers? No, so five girls for every guy.

If you're a freshman guy, that's how you get into parties. Yeah, cause you're at the bottom. So bring five girls. Cause you're at the bottom of the totem pole. So you went to Rutgers. I did, in Jersey. Yeah, I grew up in Jersey. There's like five Rutgers.

New Brunswick, I don't count the other ones, it's real Rutgers. It's like Newark and like... So I went to NJIT in New Jersey. Okay. I did 99% of my stuff in business learning, I was in the military at the time. But I did go to campus like a couple of times, because like back then you actually had to go to campus registers and before like the distance learning thing happened. So I remember like there was a Rutgers right across the street.

Rutgers Newark. Yeah, Newark. Rutgers Newark. And like talking with like some of these dudes, it was like, if they wanted a girl, they want to cross the street to Rutgers Newark to get a girlfriend because like just at the time, like no women went to NJIT. I don't know if that's changed much, either. NJIT. I heard of

that one. Did you know they had a football team? I did not. I did not know that. Are they division one or? I Probably not. No clue.

No, they got to be like D3 or something. I was in the arc. Can you imagine like the NGIT football team? Yes, let us get out there and win one for Kenisha. That's funny, man. It's just not like, I can't. All right. And that is, I guess they could have a football team. Yeah.

So social experience did not play a role in your college decision-making process. For me, it was very, for me it was very high up. I once went, I took, uh, I was at some community college because I needed like, like three credits of a, of a- Was it RBCC? Liberal Arts? Barrett and Valley Community College? No. Um, I don't remember where I went for this, but I had to take a sociology class

because I needed like one humanities. And so I just took like community college class that could transfer. And I remember, like I figured out the class like that. Like it wasn't computer science. You just, you show up, you listen to the professor and then you parrot back whatever the heck the guy said at the test. Doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. Doesn't matter whether you, you think what he said is stupid.

You just heard it back. You didn't get an A. There were people that were failing the class. How the hell do you fail this class? Just go in, don't argue with the professor. I said, okay. That's, that's one of the things that kind of blows my mind about, about college or people who talk about, oh, these woke college professors, just sit.

Oh yeah, whatever. Yeah. You say what you want to say, all right, here's your answer. Boom. Give me my paper please. Thank you. I'm going to get a job. Yeah. Well, a lot of campuses have gone woke, but yeah, you're right though. It's how you interpret it. You know what I mean? I can't picture NJIT as a woke place. They probably don't even know anything else. No, NJIT is not. I think it's mainly like state ones. I mean, you see Charlie Kirk on campus debating some of these kids. Some of them are brainwashed. Who is Charlie Kirk? I think you had him on the show.

But I saw his name. I feel like I've heard his name before. Wow. You really are in your own world. That's impressive because Charlie Kirk gets like hundreds of millions of views. I mean, is Charlie Kirk a weapon system? How many road wheels does Charlie Kirk gets like hundreds of millions of views. I mean, is Charlie Kirk a weapon system? How many road wheels does Charlie Kirk have? Yeah. That's why I respect what you do. Cause you stay in your lane.

Like you, you're all about weapons and Intel. Like, yeah, for the most part. And I'm actually, you know, people have, uh, asked, there are a number of people asked me like, Hey, can you do a video about these new Chinese Jack, you know, these, these, uh, jack ships that with the siege towers, right? These new Chinese siege towers of float. And I was like, no, because number one, hi son and sub brief Aaron from sub brief already did two videos on it. I'm not going to steal content. Number two, I do stay in my lane. I don't know a damn

thing about the need. I know a little bit about aircraft carriers. I've been on aircraft carriers. I've been on amphibious assault ships. I know a little bit about amphibious stuff. Amphibious assault ship. Yeah. So, so the Marine, well, not the Marine, but the Navy has these ships. They look like mini aircraft carriers.

In some cases, there's different kinds of LPDs, LCD, landing ship LSDs, landing ship docks, landing ship platforms, LPDs, landing ship platforms, and then amphibious assault ships which look like mini aircraft carriers. These amphibious assault ships, they carry multiple helicopters or Ospreys, which are the total rotor aircraft. And the amphibious assault ships also carry f-35s that can take off and land vertically Marine Corps f-35s and some of these ships have what are called well decks so the idea is that you the back

of the ship has a ramp you lower the ramp and you can put hovercraft inside that thing well you can float certain kinds of Marine Corps vehicles out. So if the Marine Corps wants to do a landing, they roll one of these LC or a landing ship docks up near the beach. They put down the well deck and they have, this blows my mind because I look at the safety of something like this. They have helicopters coming off the top of the ship as they have amphibious vehicles leaving the well deck of the ship. The well deck of the ship floods. And so they have like the semi flooded area

of the ship and they just drive the vehicles out. The vehicles go through the water. That's crazy. And there's a whole science to how the Marine Corps, they used to call them red patches, although I think they got rid of that MOS so they changed the nomenclature for that, but red patches are the beast masters. They're the ones, they used to joke

the red patches have AIDS. That was like an 80s kind of thing. You have a red patch, oh, it means he has AIDS. That was like an eighties. Yeah. I don't think you have a red patch. Oh, it means he has AIDS. But the red patches were the guys who coordinated stuff on the beach. You can just imagine people look at like saving private Ryan. They'd saw all the people hitting the beach, right? The amount of coordination. That they do is insane.

You have your left and right limits set up. You've mapped out the currents on the beach. You've mapped out where any obstacles are. That's nuts. And then once you get onto that beach, all right, this is where we're gonna set up our cashly evacuation point. This is where we're gonna set up our supply point.

And you know, these kids, 18, 19, 20 years old, are doing this. Can't even buy alcohol, but they're coordinating where equipment goes on a beach. So I do know a little bit about amphibious stuff. I've done one with the Marine Corps. It was absolutely amazing. You were on one of those ships.

It was on one of those ships. I came ashore on a hovercraft. Wow. On an LCD. On an LCD. Oh my. The, uh, oh my God, LA LA. It's been a while. Yeah. It's been a while. It's been about two years. Um, uh, but I came ashore on one of the Navy hovercraft and that's kind of neat too. They, they actually

don't use those in combat. Like after the Marines hit the beach, then those, uh, hovercraft will go out to the ship and they'll just kind of do like this connector. It can hold I think 70 tons of cargo. Yeah, something like that. And the hovercraft, you can go on the water and then it can come up a little bit on the beach. They'll, they'll turn off the hovercraft, the hovercraft will go down and they'll have

these sky crane or they'll even take like a bulldozer, a front end loader with they'll take the bucket off, they'll put forks on it. And they'll just drive that right up onto the LCD, they'll pick up the cargo in a shipping container, move it, put it down, pick up the skin, but when one is leaving, the other ones coming in, it's like this dance. That's impressive, man. Yeah, I've seen videos of planes landing on ships.

I'm like, that's- I've been on an aircraft carrier. And it landed on the ship? Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's what aircraft carriers are. I landed on the ship. They actually did, they did. So what's funny, so I landed on what's called a C2 Greyhound, which is a, it's a,

I was probably the last, one of the last classes of journalists, journalists that landed that will ever land on land and take off on a catapult from an aircraft carrier. Wow. Because the C2 Greyhound, it's, they're being phased out in favor of the Osprey, which can land vertically. So the C2 Greyhound, you know, it lands on the ship and it's a big cargo, not a big cargo plane, but it's a cargo plane.

And they take off again via catapult. So they actually, when people talk about the catapult, oh my God, it's, you know, you go from zero to 150 in two seconds. You know, it was really just, oh, okay. When we were coming in to land on the ship, there's this woman Tessa on the radio 93. For this, this other journalist was right next to me. And I was like, Are you scared? She's like, Yeah, well, I was like, Listen, these guys flying the C2 Greyhound, they are

the best there is. Elkac. That's the name of the hovercraft. Okay. These people flying the C2 Greyhound, they are the best that there is. El CAC. That's the name of the hovercraft. OK. These people flying the Sea-Toe Greyhound, they are the best that there is. So if they've screwed up, we're never going to feel it. We're just going to slam into the back of the ship.

We're dead. Don't worry about it. I'd imagine they don't have much room for error. I mean, when you think about it, you're trying to land, when you try to land on an aircraft carrier, there's I think I want to when you think about it, you're trying to land when you try to land on an aircraft carrier, there's, I think, I want to say it's about 30 yards of, of area. So I think it's about 30 yards wide, and then about 30 to 40 yards long. And I might be getting this wrong. So you have to check me on this. But every like 10 yards or so there's another cable, there wrong. So you have to check me on this but every like 10 yards or so there's another Cable there's cables. Yeah catch I

Ideally you want to hit the third cable. Mm-hmm so You have to not only land on a ship that is moving you're moving The ship is moving the ship is also going side to side, rocking side to side like a cradle. And if the sea state is high, the ship is going up and down. So it's moving in three dimensions and you have to land on this thing. And catch the third wire from the stern of the ship.

That's nuts. That's why these people are the best That's why the Navy Navy pilots are Amazing and oh and by the way do it at night That's so crazy do it at night. So you landed at night? Yeah. No, I landed during the day. Okay, I didn't land either way It's still insane like and this is normal them and here's the other thing Every time you land on an aircraft carrier, you're graded. Really? So imagine people graded you for every single podcast,

right, and like if you fall below a certain number, you're cut. Yeah, well in a way like- In a way, yeah, you do, right? YouTube comments will let you know what grade you get. Yeah. I just watched an episode where this guy was getting destroyed.

I don't know if you're a basketball fan, but- Yeah, yeah, I'm a Wizards fan. Well, Patrick, but David, who's a big podcaster, he had Scotty Pippen on the show and it was ruthless in the comments. Really? Yeah. Cause he asked him about Michael Jordan, the whole interview. So he got an F on that.

In order, like, I don't know if Michael Jordan would have been Michael Jordan without Scotty Pippen. Yeah. Cause and, um, oh my God, the worm. Rod, yeah. Like you needed those two guys because you have the best defensive player. Probably ever. You say that?

Yeah. Best rebounder for sure. And definitely at least top three defender, maybe the best. Yeah. And you need Scottie Pippen to do everything else. Yup. And you need Jordan to score and like, yeah, that's how you get the best. Yeah. And you need Scottie Pippen to do everything else. Yup. And you need Jordan to score and like, yeah. That's how you get six rings.

Yeah. You're absolutely right. Yeah. I missed that. I missed that era of basketball, man. I can't watch it these days. You know, I, I am of the, I'm, I am of that era. I'm like, I'm 49, right?

I'm of that era. I'm also of the Allen Iverson era. 2000. Kobe. He never, he never quite got there. Yeah. He was close, but he needed someone else. He needed someone else. And this guy, I think I look, I don't know if this is true. I don't want to spread misinformation, but supposedly, you know, the Allen Iverson went to Penn State and they hooked them up to like

machines to check his breathing. And like, he was running on the treadmill and like never got tired really. Wow. Just he's Allen Iverson just so amazing, but he never quite make it never quite get a ring. And he was always, he, he spent some time in exile from the Sixers. But when you think of Allen, he's a sexer for sure. Yeah. Yeah. His last two years we won't talk about, but yeah, he's a sexer.

My ice. Yeah. All right. So TikTok is officially banned. Yes. And I would say, I'm doing a lot. Like, thank God. Uh, you know, the, um, TikTok is a national security issue.

Uh, and one of the problems with TikTok is that not only does it target people, but it's not accountable in the US. So if there's a problem with Facebook or something like that, we can subpoena the Facebook CEO and say, hey, come here. You're standing in front of Congress and explaining yourself. We can't do that with TikTok. We can't get Doyin in here and stand in front of Congress. They're not answerable to us.

I'll tell you something, if there was ever a war, I guarantee you that China would flood TikTok with messages saying, hey, the US is an imperialist, capitalist country that wants to, you know, Taiwan for their own minerals, their own resources, whatever. There's that, and also like, look, if TikTok wanted the address of every single

journalist that's using its platform so they can go kill them, I do that. That's scary. Oh, I, look, we give our infrared. We get, look, we tell this thing stuff that we wouldn't even tell our wives. Right? Yeah? Don't we? I can look at you and I can say, do you watch pornography? Give me an answer. Do you watch pornography?

I try not to. Okay. Let me see your phone. Can't deny it. Your phone tells the truth. That's the truth teller right there. And we tell that thing everything. So if I were TikTok and let's say there was a journalist in the US that was making trouble.

All right. Let's see where their exact location is inside the US so we can kill them. Yeah. You can't really do that with Facebook or Instagram. You can with TikTok. Did you watch Zock on Rogan? I did not. Okay, so on Rogan, he said WhatsApp. Basically, if the FBI wanted to read your WhatsApp messages, they could go around Facebook to get that. So one of the things you should probably do if you have a Siri on your

phone and also on your computer as well. It's you should turn off archiving signal and archiving WhatsApp. Archiving signal, I'm doing that right now. You should do that. Archiving, what's the reason for that? Because signal is encrypted end to end and WhatsApp is encrypted from end to end.

But if Siri, Siri AI is reading your phone, then it's going to see that text come across your screen and it's going to remember that. Wow. So that, that, that encryption that I should do a video about this, that end to end encryption, it doesn't matter if you're recording the message at the other end. Interesting. Yeah. Cause they got, I remember when Tucker Carlson did the Putin interview, they got in a signal or something. Yeah. You thought it was

trivial. He was shocked. Your signal might be encrypted end to end, but if we can get on your phone and read your phone and read your signal messages, then that doesn't matter. So what do you think the safest messaging app is? Postal. Telegram. You know, um, no, you know, so for the most part, look, do you know that I'm seeing a code in a cipher? No. All right. So a cipher is a mathematical representation of stuff, of, of encryption. A cipher, I'm sorry.

A cipher is a mathematical representation of encryption. A cipher, sorry, a cipher is a mathematical representation of stuff. A code is something that only you and the other person knows. Like, have you ever heard of the Navajo Code Talkers? Navajo Code Talkers? No. All right. So if I had some kind of mathematically based encryption using radios, the Japanese would eventually be able to break that, put enough computing power behind it. Got it. And computers would play people, right? It's trying to do math. But if I have some dude that knows Navajo and I have some other dude that knows Navajo

and they're talking in the Navajo language, the Japanese don't have any Navajo speakers, guess what? You're not hearing that. That's a code, right? So anything that uses a code would be a good way to, yeah, there's a reason a drug dealer might say, Hey, you know, I have a kilo of, uh, have a kilo of that spice you want. Yeah. Like, well, you could go in front of the court and you can be like, Hey, they're just talking

about spices. This guy had a kilo of turmeric. Right? That's a code right um there's actually something called a one-time pad I actually wrote a piece of software that can use a picture as a key as a key to a one-time pad I was actually using Lizzo's Instagram what it's the key yeah so all right a one-time pad when it when it comes to encryption, imagine rolling a die, all right?

And you roll a die a certain number of times, and you write down the number that comes up on that die, and that is the number you flip a letter. So let's say you roll a die and the first number is five, right? Then A becomes F, right? You roll the number again, and the number is two, or then B becomes D, right? You do that enough times you have general randomness and as long as you know the number that's random and the space, you create two pads with the same numbers on them. And that is theoretically, it is practically

unbreakable. Wow. And it's unbreakable because encryption relies, usually encryption, ciphers rely on mathematical algorithms. And once you get the mathematical algorithm right, everything unlocks. Yeah. But if you have something that is truly, genuinely honest to God random, then you can't really break that encryption because the word attack, which is what? Six characters, the word attack might actually be the word laptop. You don't know.

There's no, it can be any six letter word, right? If it's truly random. The disadvantage of a one-time pad is that you have to send that one-time pad with a spy. So if that one-time pad is intercepted, and I actually wrote a program that did this where, you know, the big problem with the one-time pad is that you have to send the one-time pad out with somebody. And then once you use the one-time pad, you have to destroy it, because that message is... So human error is always going to play a role?

Well, yeah, human error if you're captured. But if I tell you, Hey, every day use, use, uh, Lizzo's picture on her Instagram as the code key. And when I send you a message, use the bits in that picture as the random key to unlock the message. Well, number one, the bad guys have to know which picture you're using. Uh, and number two, they have to know specifically like which Instagram site or which that's interesting. You can also use the New York times, the front page picture on the New York times, you can use whatever you use the stock market as it. Yeah, you could use whatever image I'm interested in that.

Cause I'm in crypto. And do you know about seed phrases for the wallets? Basically when you make a crypto wallet you get a seed phrase It's I think either 12 or 16 random words and you have to write it down And if you lose that you can't log back in basically, but the problem with that is they're saying with these quantum computers people will be able to hack into wallets in the future because They'll just be spitting out so fast.

Yeah, I mean, so one thing quantum computers, we don't really know how. I mean, what's funny is the wind machine deals with quantum computers. One issue, one issue with quantum computers right now is we don't really know how useful they are. They're pretty good at guessing random numbers, not guessing, but they're pretty good at coming up with random numbers. And random primes is one of the ways we do encryption now. And so I think the government has an initiative right now where all of its communication has to be quantum safe. I think this is the year, I might be wrong about that,

I think this is the year all of our encryption has to be quantum safe. But essentially, you know, when you when you pass keys in public key encryption, you basically give a public key and a private key and there's a prime number of this thing that adds up to one multiplies to and so you're basically trying to guess that prime number. Now if prime number is 71, that's really easy to guess. Some of these primes are big. Well, a quantum computer might be able to guess those numbers really, really fast. And so that's kind of the issue with quantum computing. Crypto is interesting too, because you have a system. I actually wrote a crypto program.

Oh, really? Well, I did it. I did it, I guess about two, three years ago. It's crazy. Like, it's one of the reasons that I have a challenge coin that I give soldiers. Yeah. And I call it my butt pillow coin

because I have my bare ass on the back wearing like a pillow. So when the war in Ukraine first started, I had two videos. One video I just put out where I created my entire crypto system to explain how crypto works. I created my entire blockchain, people work, all this stuff. Created that whole system, put it up on my GitHub. Anybody could download it's all written in C short. And then I, I created another video about why Russian soldiers were pillows on their butts.

Guess which video got more views. The pillow on the butts. And that was what made me realize like, wow. I mean, I, I, this is what people want. People want to know why Russians will just wear pillows on their butts. And that's how I, I'm serious. That's how I got into this whole, I mean,

I was doing Intel software work, but I was mainly doing YouTube videos about software. And once, you know, once I started answering, well, this is why Russian tank turrets pop off their holes, this is why Russians a little bit of pillows on their butts. This is why this gun does this certain kind of thing. There was this hunger for that.

Interesting. But one of the things I noticed about crypto is that if you're a criminal, crypto has got to be one of the stupidest fricking things you can ever do because like every single transaction is on the blockchain. Yeah, especially if you're using a centralized exchange and then you're sending it to your US bank account. I mean, that's so much evidence on you for money laundering.

Can you imagine stealing money from a bank and you can't cash it out? That's got to be. Yeah. And you could freeze wallets now these days. They could freeze your wallet if they catch you scamming or doing fraud. So it's, it's not what it used to be back in the day, maybe for the black market stuff, you know, buying illegal things, but no, not anymore. Yeah. And I just, I mean, now like kind of the government's kind of caught onto it. And the other weird thing about crypto is, is the amount of electrical power

that we're using to find a number that we don't really need to find. The mining. Well, yeah. I mean, when you mine for crypto, at least for the blockchain or for Bitcoin, I think they're up to 16 zeros, something like that. It's a lot. Yeah. Find a hash that starts with 16 zeros.

This is a calculation that nobody needs to do. And we're spending a certain amount of energy to try to find that hash. And that is energy that is not finding a cure for cancer, that is not, you know, whatever. Yeah, it is a lot of energy. It's a lot of energy to find. I think that's one of the, I think Venezuela actually was one of the biggest crypto mining. It saved them crypto. Yeah. Yeah. When you think about it, I mean, because the government subsidizes power.

Yeah. Right. So they have these, at least they used to have these crypto mining operations. Big margins if you're not paying for power. Yeah. Cause that's the biggest expense when you're mining people, when Bitcoin was low, like people were going out of business because their mining wouldn't keep up with the price, but now that it's a hundred K again, I guess it's profitable. Are you just into Bitcoin or?

I have Bitcoin, I have Ethereum, Solana. I did not get Trump's coin yesterday. A lot of people made some good money on that one though. Really? Yeah. I didn't, you know, the, I think the deal with the coin is that you have to have something to spend it on. Yeah, it has to have utility.

They call it crypto purpose. Yeah. Or else it's just a meme coin and then it'll die off, which 99.9% of coins do the hawk to a girl. That one died quick. I got to tell you that is like I am so happy I got famous slow. You know, it's a blessing in disguise. Yeah. Cause if you get it overnight, the odds of failing are probably way higher. I mean, I can still fail too.

Yeah. Jerry's still out on that one. Yeah. Right. Although like I look at, you know, what's kind of kind of crazy is that I look at, uh, with the new administration coming in, Oh my God, there's going to be so much disinformation coming from people who hate the president to an absurd. I did a video on project 20, 25, which was this document put on heritage

foundation puts out in this document every year. Right? And they call it like the blueprint for America, like if a conservative president gets into power, like what do you, what are you gonna do? And Project 2025, like I read the document and there was this infographic that said like, oh, Project 2025 is gonna ban the teaching of slavery. No, it's not. Like There's plenty of stuff in the document that made me go, whoa, you shouldn't be doing that. But it's not going to ban slavery, like they're ban the talking about slavery in schools. So there was that. And I think just

recently, there was this thing, I think it was a former baseball player who's an ultra conservative who said that uh you know Trump's first day in office they're gonna they're gonna medically discharge all the trans people he's gonna medically discharge 15 000 trans people I was like all right number, you have any idea what it takes to medically discharge someone from the army? Because you better go have a cup of coffee. It takes multiple meetings and hearings, and then you're paying for their medical, what do you call it?

If they get a disability,, if being transgender is a disability, now you got to pay him for disabled, you know, like there's, there's a lot of steps to medically discharging someone a lot. And also the number 15,000 that came from like a study like 15 years ago that was not like 15,000 would be over a division and a half transgender people in the military. Maybe they're including like the Zervis or something. Yeah. Oh, so they did a study and they found 15,000 trans people? That, well, it was this study from like 20 years ago. Oh, wow. It wasn't, I don't even think like that number was valid 20 years ago. That sounds really high for 20 years. It sounds really high. I think the number,

like I think one of the issues that the military doesn't know. We don't know, but this number 15,000 keeps floating around because some study quoted it 20, 15 years ago, 15, 20 years ago, the number might be closer to like 2500, maybe across the entire National Guard, reserves, active duty, all branches. And even then, even if it's 2500 people and President Trump wants to discharge them, they have to go through all these medical hearings if you want to medically discharge them.

Yeah. Even the COVID people, the people who refuse to take the COVID shot, like, there is a process to getting someone out of the military and it's not the next day. Yeah. You know, there's a whole process for that. That makes sense. So like that, I am going to be busy for the next four years. Oh yeah. Because, you know, these people are going to be saying,

these people are doing this and these people are doing this. And both sides of me pointing at each other. I'm going to be in the middle going, I got the truth, boys. You'll never run out of content, you know. No, in a way, that's kind of a shame. But, you know, I've said like the good. I said this about Sal Martigliano who runs what's going on with shipping, which is a, uh, it's an

excellent YouTube channel that talks about global shipping. Yeah. Cares about global shipping. Well, do you like this cup, you know, or like this microphone, this microphone got here on a ship. We need it. All right. So some are Tigliano

Hit when when I watch his YouTube content, I leave smarter. Hmm, that should be a sign Yeah that you're watching something good. Are you leaving smarter? Alright, it's been really cool man. I know we're done minutes. I know you got the new book anything else. No. Hey, thank you so much I hope you have some good I hope you have a good time while you're in DC for the rest of the week.
