Hello, welcome to Kump.
I just had a nice ramen breakfast.
I'm joining you from the closet I share with Lucy.
And I had nice ramen.
morning. I'm recording this. It might be early. I mean, I might still release this Sunday and
but, you know, I might be going away or just going, you know. So, you know, I have this
is a holiday weekend. So I'm getting this done. So, you know, you guys don't miss out. I'm
like, I'm being the Messiah right now. This is me on the cross bleeding for you. So
don't get snippy about the fact that, you know, it's Friday morning and I'm not released this
till Sunday and like you know oh he's talking like why didn't he mention that baby that had the
fucking claws of a penguin that attacked his mother uh and the mother started bleeding from
its vagina and then like you know there was just shit everywhere and the dad's like I didn't sign
on for this and he starts punching the baby and he gets arrested I mean is this a plot to Batman
I don't know uh because it's a penguin involved but the point is I didn't know I didn't know
it happened because um you know it's friday and it happens saturday and
shit might go uh i might miss things it's fine you know there might be some other baby who
just eats shit like he eats his own shit everyone's fine with it and it's just adorable and he's
just eating a bowl of shit on a youtube video and child but he farts so because child services
is like oh we gotta go like they're like getting like the child services people like so
on YouTube and they're like putting their jacket on to go out like we got this one and then
the baby in the video farts like and it's really great timing um and everyone's just like
this is great actually so even though he's eating his own shit it's just i mean i've ever been
that into fart humor uh i don't you have to be pretty the time has got to be pretty
great for me to think farts are funny nowadays but you know it is a phenomenon it seems to
resonate with people and look I've been known to you give me a good to
and I can laugh so that baby that was eating its own shit out of a bowl on a
YouTube video my position my hypothesis is that child services once they saw it
fart assuming the timing was right it's got to be nailed a little timing on
that as a baby so if he does that's pretty impressive I have that kind of comedic
instincts at that age but it just
And they're like, ah, he'll be fine.
And they let him go.
And he dies because he's eating shit.
And that's a moral of the story is those people probably lose.
I don't know if to lose their jobs.
You just have to, like, audit their computers, like subpoena them and see if they
watched the video.
If you did, it would come up.
They actually pretty savvy to get away with it if someone's suspected.
Because probably, I mean, I guess what happened is like, I was assuming that, like,
they just found it on YouTube probably someone would call and be like hey there's this baby it's
eating shit out of a bowl they're putting it on youtube not even trying to hide it this is a fucking
button closed case that but that's right word button and clothes it's a button and closed case
and then uh so they would call child services in their area and then like they would see that the baby
died like well i i call child services that why did the baby keep eating its own shit and um
would, you know, complain to whoever child services works for, I guess.
The health department, uh, probably, probably, or social, is there, there's a social services
department.
So that's who they go to.
They go to the director of social services for their county and they go, I saw the baby shit
video, called your people, didn't do anything.
Why?
And he's going to look like, hey, I don't care of babies die.
I'm the director of social service.
Why would I get? I'm a county, like, a high-level county worker slash manager, like, I don't care if people die.
That's what he's thinking in his head, but he's got, you know, play the game.
He's like, oh, that's sad.
That's a baby dying.
Okay.
So he, to just get them off his fucking back, he goes to, you know, the director of child services and it all goes downhill from there.
So no one cares that the baby eating shit has died.
Maybe the parents.
Maybe they thought shit was good for you.
I don't think it's good for you.
I'm telling you now, don't feed shit to your kids.
But in this scenario, the child services people are going to get brought down just because that guy was just annoyed and can't be bothered to have his image besmirched by some, you know, whiny person who was mad and a baby died.
Are you following it?
Okay.
So you can go on that computer and you're going to see, like, hey, you clicked on this link.
and it is funny
he's going to be like look
I get it it's a funny link
I don't blame you
for not reporting it because
he's like he's a psychic
like the people at child services are like
they kind of mean
they mean well but you know
you get into the county system
I've worked for the county
you get into the county system
and you just kind of
you get a little callous
and you get a little like
I can't help anything
and at the end of the day
they would they
yeah they just
they weren't due
but the county executive got
this director of social services
he's like I get it
you saw this baby and farted perfectly
and you're like what am I going to do
report it and I stopped getting these great
videos because that's how he thinks he's like
yeah I'm the report it I want to say
like it's Game of Thrones to him
you know it's what am I going to report that Macy Taylor
got beat up no I
want to see her on a horse
and the horse is gone
as it happened when the
Game of Thrones if you don't watch it
You know there's a horse meant nothing
And let's not detour into that
But you know
Macy Taylor
In this guy was running the police department
Like let her get hit
I need my horse movie
It's a TV show sir
Shut up and he pulls his gun out
And shoots his employee
Who's also a cop
Why don't cops like shoot other cops
When they get mad
It would seem like you're all those guns lying around
You would think like the fucking
Like that he watched a wire
and, like, you know, McNulty's
boss Rawls, I think his name is.
The guy who became the direct deputy of the opposite
and tried to backstab the other guy.
But he's like, you know, you fucking piece of shit,
you're fucking my career.
How great would it be if he just pulled a gun out
and started shooting Gunnoughty in a fucking face?
And he's like, I'm a cop.
I'll get away for any other crime.
Why can I get away with killing McNulty?
McDonald's seems not be like that much.
You'd think they get away with it.
The whole blue wall of silence,
you would think it would work for them
And that's, you know, like, what's more powerful?
The blue, if you got a cop killing a cop, where does the blue wall of silence lie?
That's an interesting question, philosophically, if you will.
I feel like he could have shot McNaughty, like right in the fucking, I mean, the other guy shot that guy that, I forget his name, but the fuck up shot the other cop.
He did get fired.
It wasn't on purpose, and he didn't know the guy.
He wasn't wearing the color of the day.
color they wear when you don't cover
I guess it's I wonder
it's like it's got to be some weird
color like fuchsia or like neon
green I love some neon green
panties by the way
anyway
uh that's not it's a weird detour but it is
important neon the only time you see neon anymore is in porno videos
and uh or a Victoria's Secret
where you can buy panties that your girlfriend or it doesn't matter
we'll talk about that and love is disgusting
tease go go listen to our love is disgusting
It's me and Lucy Steiner
It's not a plug, but it's a plug, but you know
It's just natural
But we'll flesh that out there
If you haven't listened yet
So yeah
Cops shooting cops
I had a nice top ramen breakfast
I think I said it before
But you know
It's Friday morning
And I didn't
Look I make a top ramen patty
I'm just going to lay it down
I mean a top ramen patty
If you don't know what that means
I basically I take I got beef ramen today
I think I prefer chicken
You know on first glance
When I first started eating ramen
It was like beef yeah beef is better than chicken
A it's not always true
But that's kind of how my brain works
But in the case of the weird
Salt seasoning packet
They give you with top ramen
The chicken's better
The chicken the beef is kind of weird
But I only have is beef
So I had beef
And you're supposed to
I'm not talking about
the cup of noodles because that's also a
ramen but you know I'm talking about the packets
the ramen packets
I made a ramen packet I just put it
in the water of the hot water I don't even wait for
the boiler it get a little hot and then
it'll be boiling a little bit but then you put
the pat the thing in there
and you let it get soft
to the point where it's a patty and you can just
pick it up in your hands and chew it
may put some of the seasoning on it
and you chew it now some people
have told me over the years
hey you fat
piece of shit you fucking disgusting can't even fit in your pants fat man you fucking pig you
slob you fucking smell like my my shit that i fucking feed my baby the human shit i feed my baby
that's how you smell you fucking fatty you can't wait you can't fucking wait until the ramen is all
the way cooked and like you have it and put in a bowl like a person
And that's not the point.
I could wait.
Don't, don't, I'm preempting it.
I could wait.
I could wait all day for ramen.
I'm not a greedy little pig.
All right, I could wait for my ramen,
but I choose to make the patty.
It's not a fucking, a fat hack where I fucking, you know,
find some way where I can put ramen in my mouth fucking ten times quicker.
No, I like it in a patty.
I like the texture.
I like the portability.
I like the fact that, like, you know, put the seasoning.
and eat like a sandwich.
I mean, it's just, like, it may be disgusting on a different level,
but don't act like I'm just, like, you know,
trying to fucking circumvent the fact that, you know,
I want to eat my ramen quicker,
and I'm just going to, like, you know, oh, yeah, like.
And by the way, I watched whether there's documentaries
or what you call him, cooking shows on Netflix years ago,
with that guy, David Chang, who is a favorite,
is this guy from Mumofuco?
I don't know, but he's a famous,
Asian
Chinese or Japanese? I don't know if I say Chinese or Japanese?
I think Chinese. It could be Japanese.
I think Chinese.
The cuisine is somewhat similar.
I mean, he wasn't a sushi guy, but I guess
probably Chinese.
It doesn't matter. It's all great.
And
yeah, he
was talk about the ramen and how
he would eat ramen. See, Japanese,
ramen's Japanese. That's why
it maybe adds to the confusion. Don't get on me.
all right i like all different types of you know i don't know where everyone's from but i'm like
keeping track of people like some fucking computer and if i was that'd be the problem you know people
who don't do that in the past haven't been great so i'm sorry don't keep track of what race everyone is
what country everyone's from you know that's not i mean i do my best to accommodate people
and and to you know be aware of their their pluralistic wonderful backgrounds i'm not some
fucking guy keep it you're from sri lanker and you're from indonesia what the fuck i mean we're all
I'm not going to fucking start, well, you know, that's okay for an Indonesian guy to do, but not for a fucking, you know, Tibetan.
Oh, fine, if everyone can do that thing.
What am I?
What am I?
You're a cop?
Fuck off.
So he was talking about how, you know, ramen.
I think he was making some ramen dish.
And he was talking about the ramen packets.
I think he was repurposing them or something.
And he would talk about as a kid, he would just take the dry, when he got home from school, he'd eat ramen all the time.
And sometimes he would just take.
a dry ramen packet like not even put it in water fucking put the seasoning on it and eat like a
cracker or a Dorito or something and that's even more disgusting and I also do that sometimes
it's not great this is a much better version of that if you are very hungry it is quicker so
yeah maybe sometimes it would be a greedy pig we'll pull the curtain back and maybe sometimes
I just wanted my face now I just want to shove that chewy ramen into my fat throat
before it's done boiling so I do this
you happy you fucking happy
you want me to eat this shit
now you eat a bowl of shit on YouTube
you fucking pigs
you really don't know how to make a man
dance for his money
there's no money well some money but you know
thank you to my Patreon
we'll call you out later
but uh you know it's not like I'm getting paid
by some kind of satellite radio show
uh
or some kind of you know whatever
I'm not I'm not being paid to strip
at a fucking, you know, German
German strip club, which
I could be. That might
be a move I do. They'll do a tour
or they do that.
It's a crazy... So with the top
ramen, paddies, it's fine.
I would suggest
trying it. I have a new
recipe for something to do with ramen.
I have a new idea for a show.
Tendatively titled Fat,
Dumb America. It's going to be a
cooking show.
possibly the first episode will be something you could do to your ramen that will be
disgusting but also delicious and that's going to me it's going to be me sharing these disgusting
fat it's just a reflection of the world um and the disgusting things i can do to ramen
and things like that that can you know really make you wonder why we don't just all
just jump into a fucking lake and set the lake on fire in a weird week they two times
at least two times this week.
I don't know.
It might have happened again.
I don't think it happened again.
But two times in two days,
Russian bombers.
Nuclear capable,
they say.
Which isn't everything nuclear capable?
Was that B-52 that dropped the atom bomb?
Was that like a nuclear capable B-52?
Or did they just fucking shove a nuke in there and then drop it?
I don't know what the difference is.
I mean,
I'm sure they've got to be longer range because you're flying.
Why?
Well, we'll get this in a minute.
But they got really close to America up by Alaska.
This is a story that, like, basically the U.S. Air Force storedied.
Did they call them a story?
It's scrambled jets to intercept them and basically escort them
because they didn't come into American airspace.
But I guess they came surprisingly close.
It seemed provocative, I guess.
I mean, it's hard to know.
I should really research.
This might happen every other day, and they do it.
It seems weird to me.
They're weird to me on a bunch of levels.
Because let's just take it to face about it, it is provocative.
It seems odd to me.
So it's provocative if you see these nuclear jets and nuclear bombers, actually,
and they're flying towards America or around America.
I mean, secondly, Alaska.
I mean, I kind of feel like the only reason you have Alaska is just to, like,
You know, it's like if you have a hot girlfriend and you bring into a bar and she's just wearing like a short-ass skirt and a fucking, like a tits are fucking cleavaged out and they're fucking, just because it's tits hanging out and the ass hanging out.
This is this is like sexy, and everyone's drung me like you bring her and you go and want you to talk to that guy and like, but then you get mad, what are you doing with my girl?
And you put it like that's where it feels like it feels like you fucking just put Alaska there.
just to get into a fight
just if I can bring
your last because you're your girlfriend
your hot girlfriend that you just
and she's into it
let's that well in case you think I was being
you know
the what's the word to women
no she was into it she that's what
like women are into that sometimes
I like the idea of you
uh getting into the fight
I don't know I'm not the one who invented
how minds work don't blame me
I'm not saying all women like that
but this one was you can know I'm not saying
you were like the guy was for whatever
so Russia
is jumping over with these fucking bombers and, like, we're so shocked that we escort them.
I don't know.
I was walking down the street the other day with Lucy on the way to get laundry.
And some guy, I guess my flight was open, but I didn't know.
And some guy got real up in my space in a friendly way in hindsight.
But I just, I was jolted.
I was like, ugh.
And I didn't make that noise, but it was a little bit.
I shook back, just as a surprise, you know, and that's the way people react when they're
surprised.
I feel like, you know, if I was in the Air Force and, like, these Russian guys, I mean no ill will to Russia,
but just out of pure shock if I would just start attacking the bomber.
I would just do an Independence Day and just fly, like head first, a kamikaze, right, into the bomber.
So I don't know
Maybe these guys are a little more composed than I am
These guys who fly Air Force jets
Maybe are a little more
Physically fit and mentally sound
It's possible
I mean I feel like I would do well in there
I mean I'd have to get a little bit of shape
To optimally I'm sure I could fit in the cockpit
But to optimally fit in the cockpit
And reduce drag
Yeah
You know
But I'd be a great pilot
I have a feeling I'd be a really good pilot
in the air force um i don't like shooting civilians and i feel like it's a big thing for them
it's just like mowing down civilians like in a weird raid formation um i'm not trying to disparage
it went look it's memorial day coming up you know all the great pilots that were lost in the
conquest of resources and coltan mines and mineral rights and you know oil preserves and jams
all the jams we got from wars
we honor you all right
we honor your sacrifice
to get
us to
basically what are we doing
Vietnam we stopped the domino
effect we didn't but I mean well we did
I mean no no they bring that up
those guys in Vietnam they might have
done some atrocities
and enforced to do them
a prodded to do them but
no one else went communist after that
I don't know if it's true, but that's what they say.
They stop the domino effect.
I don't think it's...
Look, all I'm saying is
I should have been a pilot.
I should have been in the...
Imagine me, because even if you objected me,
I would just start fucking biting people.
I would be behind enemy lines
in Russia, just biting people
and inviting them to dinner.
I would just bite like a guy in the arm and go,
come my house for dinner and run away.
He'd be like, what's going on?
He wouldn't even be a soldier.
If I had a soldier, I'd hide
Because those guys have guns
And they're probably trained to fight
So I only fight civilians if I ejected
I'll be honest of you
That's why I don't join the Air Force
They know how it works
If you get ejected you fight
You gotta fight people
You gotta keep the war going
Even if you get lose your plane
Like it's not like
Some people are thinking in the Air Force
Like oh
You're a bunch of guys of planes
And the people who watch the planes
But like you're a warrior
So when you jump out of that fucking Air Force plane
because it's about to get blown up, you're still a warrior.
So you got to fight people.
You got to keep the war going.
But you don't want to fight trained soldiers because that's just not your forte.
You're an Air Force pilot.
So you fight civilians.
You fight children and women and guys who were cowards, I guess.
Computer programmers.
You fight computer programmers any chance you get.
Hopefully you can salvage something from your crash plane if you landed near it that you can hit people with.
So you just have like a piece of it.
wing and then like you'll see some fuck the mailman
and be walking down the street and like oh my
god what is this it's just me running on with a piece
of my wing and like fucking
slow his throat
I don't know this is
I feel like I've never been directly
recruited for the Air Force but I feel like
it should have been because I have a good
I have good warrior spirit I think
I have a good mind
but yeah
so I don't know they escorted these planes
it happened twice in two days
so I don't know what the me
the meal is
I don't know what the deal is
it would seem to be some kind of provocation
if I had to guess realistically
it almost seems like
let's see if Trump says something dumb
or does something dumb that we can cap
I'm not sure what that would be
I feel like there would be some
there would be something they want to do
or say or move
and then like they want to provoke Trump
into like a
position where he's
you know well maybe they're all in it together
I don't know there was something with a RAND corporation
which I'm what is the RAND corporation
I always hear about them I think I knew at one point
are they just a defense no they're a
think tank right they're think tank
I think works on I don't know officially
but I'm sure they work on behalf of like defense
contractors just to boost up
war I'm pretty sure I'm like 90%
right in that
uh what is RAND it's like
one of these uh fucking think
tanks that like or logistics companies
pretty sure they do think tank
I think fucking a macamacanamerer
worked for them at some point
but uh
yeah they're the guys who told you like look we probably
could kill a few more civilians if we put this napalm
in a butterfly formation and then like
uh Nixon was like oh huh
and then uh that's great Nixon by the way great Nixon
and then Kissinger comes in and starts jerking off
and he goes oh I'm sorry I thought this was in my living room
and then I don't know
I'm working a sitcom with Nixon and Trump
That was partly the first episode
But my point is
Rand Corporation came out
And they say hey we've been doing these war games
We've been doing these running these war games
With the scenarios of the U.S.
Fighting China and Russia
I think together and maybe separately
And I remember the quote being
Something the effect of like a blue team
Gets their ass handed to them
Every time
Blue team
it lets you know what a bunch of
scumbag
fucking
just corporates
military scumbent
blotame gets their ass kicked
I think why I just say
you're talking to a fucking reporter
what's something blue team
that's supposed to connote
some kind of it is all just such
fucking clumsy propaganda than me
it's just to connote
some sense of detachment
some sense of like professionalism
because they're calling a blue team
like it's a subtle thing
and it's not effective
to me and
I feel like I hope
you hopefully not to you
because these guys are fucking
cooks if they were right we wouldn't have got
mired down in Vietnam
here is the ultimate dilemma though
because they did same thing did we lose the
Iraq war the Iraq war go
I mean I was in a cab drive
you were the other day talking to this guy
from Pakistan who's from Pakistan and we were talking
about like how much money you got wasted
on the war I'm like you could say it got wasted
but you know people got rich over that
fucking war you know
Yeah, the U.S. government or U.S. people lost, like, trillions of dollars.
But that trillions of dollars went somewhere, went to someone.
You know, you get my point.
You get my drift.
So maybe Vietnam being a quagmire where children were murdered was good for people, I guess.
So it's all subjective, I guess.
You don't get to say it's bad because someone got rich.
So the point is those guys were behind all that.
These, why didn't Rand have any idea about 9-11?
Fuck, fuck you, Rand.
They're trying to echo do these fucking...
The whole point of Rand is to fucking sell more missiles.
It's kind of like the NRA, you know?
They actually are some think tank.
They're just some fucking, you know, they know what the deal is, you know.
You go, some guy who worked at Rand comes in over the fucking Arthur McDaniels Millen or whatever the fuck or, you know, grumman.
what's the other one general dynamics
oh we'll give you a job they
it's a bribe it's all a fucking quid pro quo
they get a job later and they probably get money
under the table it's not even if they're in the government
they're going to get away of anything
so they're basically saying that
America's getting their ass kicked if we go to war
which is like
yeah it's maybe I mean I don't care
good let's get wiped out
we've had our run
I mean honestly
some of it was talking about the 27 club this week
someone I know where I think he turned 27 or he's going to turn 27 I don't know
it's irrational stupid but you know we want to tell you I mean I have to sit there and go
oh yeah there is something you should be afraid of sure and I just want to spit in his
face but whatever but the point is why would you even care like those guys went out
in their prime and I must everyone wants to cling to life I get it but like what's
some people make the arguments better than what the better the um look
good and then fuck a corpse
no better look
look good and leave a dead corpse
in your bed
something
uh and
the point is
that you know why not
just fucking
let them wipe us out when it comes to
it why are we trying to
like save this it's not good
I mean we're not
look I don't want to be a pessimist
I want to be the eternal
optimist right I believe in
people i do i do not really i but i believe we're capable of it like i i think i've mentioned
this before talking about this before in the podcast but years like a hundred years ago
uh i've read it from a few different sources like people in general just much more engaged and
there was like there was like it's we're not just the same people and they're fucking us
we're letting it happen and we'll let it happen more than people let it happen back in the day
and you know ultimately is it because of propaganda efforts and you know some mind control
and by mind control, we're talking about, you know, psychologically targeted advertising and
marketing, which is mind control. I mean, that really is what they're doing. You go watch
the Century of the Self as a good primer for this kind of, you know, if you don't, if you're
not really up on that. It's a documentary four-part by Adam Curtis. I think I mentioned
Adam Curtis last week. The Century of the Self is a very interesting. I can't have asked for
everything in it. I'm not a psychology expert, but, you know, it's a good primer. It gets
see into the whole Edward Bernays
and
uh, it was Freud's
nephew and he kind of pioneered the public relations
industry and you know
how the Nazis actually stole
from us they stole like gerbils
looked to us to
you know to how to do propaganda
not the other way around people like
and you know if you want to get to the moon you steal
from the Nazis if you want to trick people into buying
shit and you know letting you take
over the world you have steal from
America that's how it works
so yeah
and uh what was that about what are we talking about that mind control psychology people are more engaged
so could we could we get better could we could we go out there and like really take back this kind
i'm sure of course we could and people are capable of it you don't have to be a genius but
i don't i love very little faith in the people's will uh i think will is the kind of thing you'll
lose spirit's the kind of thing you'll lose like a fighting spirit that goes away and you
get it back i'm sure but like
there'd be something going on like
i mean that's what cynically people were talking about
how you know
they needed to get 9-11
that's what i mean that is what you told me like the project for the new
american century penack all that shit you know the things that
you know the guys who basically
maybe plan 9-11 maybe sure
uh but you know the idea is they wanted their pearl harbor
they wanted that polarizing moment for a reason because people get complacent
and that's the most dangerous thing is just it's
People who have it too good for too long.
And you fucking...
So, it's all a long way of saying we could do...
But we're not going to.
And not going to get better.
So why not let Russia bomb us to the fucking...
And we had her out.
Like, people will remember the last few years weren't great.
But overall, if you look at the narrative...
Maybe we can call bullshit in the whole narrative.
But if you look at the narrative...
Yeah, we had World War II.
That was cool.
Civil War. We fought to end slavery.
Yeah, it's complicated.
You know, I mean...
far as like it didn't end up being that great i mean it did in slavery i guess technically but
point is it's all very messy but the big narrative points they look fine kind of they look like
yeah we're do and this and that and then you have you know this current slop uh vietnam and
warrugate and forward uh into this just at least war at least watergate they were trying to do
something i mean it was bad it's clink to power i don't even know what's going on anymore it's just a
There's a soupy mess.
It's just...
I don't care.
I don't want to talk about it.
You know what it is.
But why not let China just fucking drop a bunch of nukes on us?
Like, that would be quicker.
And if you want to get out, get out.
They should really...
We should, like...
They should let people disperse for, like, a week or two.
And they just attack...
I mean, look, I'm not talking about Holocaust.
I'm talking about it if they're going to attack us anyway.
Like, you know, at the end of the day, it's like, it's not that bad.
We'll be dead. It's fine.
Oh, my kids would be dead.
All right.
You know, I'm not a traitor.
I'm just saying, like, at a certain point, if you're still clinging to dominance, which
we're trying to do, we had the Iran Corporation trying to goose up a war just so we can white.
I mean, I've always said, you know, people talk about China and how it's going to
overtake us in 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, it seems inevitable, just really on the swings
of the economy, economic swings, you know.
it's not even necessarily based on anything any virtue of what you're doing it's like you know if you look at why america is was quote unquote the greatest country i mean a lot of it in my opinion had to do with we were a country that was um unpopulated you know wink wink um they're populated um they're populated of course but you know as far as that people taking over were concerned it was i'm i'm being anti imperialist here just so to be clear i'm saying like you know they they have they have no qualms
about, you know, taking out of Native Americans.
And, you know, they're coming from Europe, which is, you know, a code of, like a system
of a place where there really wasn't much land you could just swap up, you know, it was all
kind of taken.
And these Native Americans had a pretty lax property law, and even if they didn't, let's not
kid ourselves, they would have taken it anyway.
So from that point of view, they were operating as if it was free and open.
and a lot of resources,
a lot of a lack of regulation
in a sense of like, you know,
look, I'm not arguing for private prisons
or even, you know, like some libertarian point of view.
You know, look, to a certain extent, you know,
like, whatever, we can get to that later.
But the point is, you know, Europe at the time,
on this sort of like, you know,
loosely called mercantilism,
was a pretty economically oppressive system.
and not even to benefit anyone
but the crown. Like, it wasn't done to
benefit the people. At least
with socialism, you purport
to help the people. And
a lot of socialism, what they call socialism, they do.
But, you know, they were talking about, like,
Soviet Russia. At least they had
the point of
trying to help people.
But this whole mercantile's thing is like, it's basically
tariffs. I mean, what you have now?
I mean, if you read the wealth of nations
by Adam Smith, half of that shit's just like,
you know, this guy did this tariffs, that guy did
tariff and back and forth it's just you're reading how they're all fucking themselves
while they're fucking each other it's the mess and uh if you took nothing else away from that book
it was uh you know don't do tariffs like it just never work and uh here we go we got we got in
i was kind of wondering like you know this definitely won't work I'm pretty pretty confident
about that will they work in the short term to the point that you know it looks good for him
and I don't even know that's it's comedic onlyness like he does those
tariffs of China last week, and then the Dow drops, what, like, 600 points, like, immediately.
It's only funny in the, you know, the immediate, whatever.
You find you wherever you want.
It's all fucking doomed.
We want to tell you.
We're going to tell you, it's all going to be great.
We're going to get Obama back.
He's going to fucking predator drones and Pakistani weddings, but otherwise it's going to
be great.
Maybe.
Maybe we can get a third term.
I mean, the amount of things that, like, people, we can't have a third term for president.
If Trump was in, I mean,
I don't know.
You are starting to wonder, will he leave?
I mean, I'm not trying to be alarmist, but, like,
you're getting fucking notes from Congress,
with subpoenas, or court orders, I guess,
and he's just refusing them.
Which is not new.
I mean, look, the Bush administration did plenty of,
hey, we're going to write the rules as we go along,
and basically, if you don't call us out,
even if you do call us out,
that's it.
Like, that's the way their house counsel works was basically, like,
all right well you fucking tell you know you stop us that's how it worked you stop us basically
that being said Trump did seem upset when he got the hearings so uh that whole famous quote that
came out which look infuriates me when people in the whole in the mule report redacted mule
report got released and people were going like he read the quote was like oh like this is the
end of my presidency i'm fucking ruined wherever it wasn't exact quote but that and like this is so
great it's so worth it for this and it's like i don't know what you're doing like he the
guy has won like this is the post-mortem and like he thought that sure but didn't happen so like
how can you be happy about that if that was your goal i don't know it's just indicative of these
children who call themselves millennial i mean 24 25 year old people nowadays i'm a little older
not that much but you know older enough something happened in this generation because these
kids it's all about it's just it's just nothing there's no grounding to it all it's like you can just
like that's great like is it great like what are you talking about like the guy got away with
it that's like like like if you if you if you heard that oj was like oh i just killed my wife and
kids this is those wife is i just killed my wife i'm gonna go to jail this is terrible
oh no i'm a murderer and you know that was all worth it and like no he got away with it
what you talking about anyway but they just want people want that moment people want like a
Tharsis. People, like, you know, someone was saying something about sleeping in night.
What was the thing? People wanted. I don't know.
But the idea, like, someone that people can sleep at night knowing that.
It's like, you shouldn't sleep at night. If you're worried about it, like, that's the problem.
It's just this moral hazard. Like, I don't know. The point is the Rand Corp.
We're talking with the Rand Corporation, Trump. Oh, I don't know.
The Mueller report. The point is, is Putin trying to fucking get Russia to do.
Oh, why was America the greatest country, right?
why economically
yeah it's just resources and opportunity
you know a lack of regulation
of key times you know and
the industrial revolution
happening at the same time basically
and you know whatever there's a lot
the point is these are massive swings
that like when people try to blame a president
for the economy like you can
but you can't blame the one who's in office
most of the time it's just
it's possible you know a guy like Trump
doing something as crazy as you know doing tariffs that apparently drops it down but you know i don't think
that that was i mean i haven't checked it down a few days i don't think it's like irreparably harmed from
that but it could be i mean look i've been saying for you know a while now it's like it's all
gonna depend on what the economy's doing a month out two months out that's and look it's it's we're
due in theory for a crash or a recession uh just far as the years i mean it's been a while
uh it doesn't mean's gonna happen but like it's definitely in the in the ballpark
just as far as time-wise and you know what you've been doing and the amount of spending it's
just like it's possible in the way yeah a wild card like fucking trump who knows maybe the economy
takes a turn and then uh you know that that's if it's doing well odds are he'll stay in office
that's just the way because that's the way all this shit's worked i mean it's like you look at
you look at history and you look at you know who gets elected and it's usually the incumbent
if the economy's cooking right there's even i've some guy talking about how how
excuse me
Bush senior
when he didn't get reelected
basically he was making
some economists he was positing the
the notion that you know basically every president
for decades have been going to the Fed
18 months out and asking them
hey can you
put some credit
into the economy jolt I guess you know
cut the rates a little bit
exactly how the mechanism how they do it
and uh they get a little jolt
and you know and it takes about 18
months were to kind of work its way through
because you can't just lend money to a bank
it's all kind of complicated
how you know the bank
the Fed was money to a bank and they want to people
and whatever so the full point is
and the Bush didn't do it for some reason
that's why it didn't go like it's simplistic
and I'm not explaining the whole thing
but the point is
you know the economy
in the president or not as nowhere near
as intrinsically tied as people pretend they are
but that's still how they vote
so what do you want me to tell you
I mean is Trump responsible
for the state of the economy
when they came in of course not
I mean they've been jolt
you know slashing interest rates
we're keeping them slashed for you know
a decade all that money's going
at the stocks and like you know
you know why like you're coming out
one of the worst recessions ever
and you know
it's whatever
I mean of course it's going to be like
you know unemployment I mean the fact that's
staying so low
you know, there's a lot, why is it happening?
I mean, you can't know that by glancing.
I mean, it would take, you know, study and looking at it.
I'm not an economist, but, you know, the point is you know enough to know it's not what they're saying.
It's not Trump's gain.
It's also not, he's not ruining it.
I mean, maybe in some cases.
The point is China could bomb us.
And, uh, oh, no, this is all a very long way of saying, you know, why, so China will be there.
it's not for me virtual i'm not saying the fact that they're communist slash capitalist hybrid is
why they're going to overtake us it's just they're going to overtake us because of demographics
and uh just their position economically and maturation you know they've a lot of people who are
still kind of making low wage but they're getting better it's all that kind of shit so the
point is like oh what do we do and i've always wondered will the people who actually run this
country the people who did 9-11 wink wink do i say wink wink when i just a
them of doing it i don't know whatever when the people who um do they just start a war with china
i've always wondered like it's you know will they find some reason to start the war with china
russia mostly china uh and this is what i'm thinking when i see the rand corporation
coming out going oh blue teams getting their ass kicked every time it's like we got to do
something and like oh you want you have a bunch of missiles you want to sell that what's going on
um but also the grander ranger scheme that's what at the end of the day it just seems to me like
oh, you have surplus stock?
You want to fucking...
It's like...
You want to sell some of these fucking lawnmowers
and cruise missiles
and predator drones.
But also in the grand scheme,
like, are they going to start a war
and just kind of leading towards that?
I mean,
apparently Bush's...
Not Bush, sorry,
Trump's aides wanted to start a war by Iran.
Apparently Trump's resisting it.
I guess to his credit.
If it was like the one time,
it was a valid threat.
But no, apparently he doesn't want...
you know, I don't, yeah, I think he's, he's an idiot.
Ah, isn't it? Look, he's savvy, and, uh, I don't think he's,
you can't say he's smart, but he has good instincts for people, sort of, it seems like.
A good ability to sell.
And I think he gets, he's just story of Iraq war happened, you know, not that long ago.
I mean, to me, it's not that long ago, and he's much older, so, you know, as you get older,
he, so there's a blip.
and I think he knows
instinctively like you know
this is a mess
you don't want to mess
I mean it's not going to make him money
he doesn't think he's not
you know Bush had you know
the Saudi ties
and Halliburton Cheney
and the Carlisle group
Trump that's not where Trump makes his money
so he's not looking at going like oh yeah
like you know this would be great for me
it's like this seems like a mess
which is the way most people do
sometimes in some cases
are interest aligned with Trump
because you go, he, much like I would go,
this is a mess.
And while Bush and Cheney and James Baker
look at a situation like that and go,
ooh, this is a mess.
And they get a little hard because, you know,
okay, Bush is dead and Bush seniors dead.
So RIP, Poppy, forgot about that.
But yeah, you got a little hard,
a little hard on you, dick,
because how much of a mess these other things getting.
Yeah, this is just a name.
nature of how these people think so julian asange uh who donate to my patreon and um
i'm beside myself he's been charged with 18 more federal charges i haven't got a chance
to look at me have apparently they're pretty bad look you want to get him on the rape
get him on the it's hard it's hard to say note because here's the thing of i think i mentioned
this last week of course the uh with the swedish rape issue
of course
it's being used
politically as a cludgeon
or cluggle or clodging
cluggles a Jewish thing right
cludgeon a bludgeon to bludgeon them
it's used politically
opportunistically but that being said
it doesn't mean it didn't happen so especially
in this you know
you know you might go in the
if you're looking at some of you know the grand scheme
of uh privacy issues
and espionage act and like
you know should the lot of
mistake but you know i think what we've one of the things we've learned in the recent years like you know
it's easy to we shouldn't let that you know just wash over uh a valid victim here if it's
if it happened it's hard for me to say don't you know pursue that but these federal charges
aren't for that they're just you know they're accusing him a fucking espion i use the espionage
act against them which is atrocious look no one wants to get their shit took right like if
If you're dealing in secrets, I think it, look, on a certain level, secrets are necessary.
You know, espionage is a thing.
You got to trade secrets.
You don't, you know, you don't want your missiles getting out there.
I mean, look, the Israelis were able to, was it a six-day war, I think?
We're able to do so well in that because they, essentially, the Mossad does such a good job.
Getting them, whatever, I guess, the anti-aircraft placements and, like, you know, all sorts of,
all sorts of
intelligence
about the Syrian air defense
and they were able to
like basically
and maybe also Egypt
and able to use that
to basically win a war
so intelligence can like
really win a war
I mean when you're us
and you're basically
just bombing the shit of people
and your intelligence is telling you
they have you know
huge weapons cashes
they don't have
it doesn't seem likely
that intelligence can win a war
but when you're a small country
you can and even us
it could help us probably
if we actually had you know
intelligence that wasn't
working for the financial
sector but whatever I digress
but it's a valid reason to have secrets I guess
and you know there are I mean look you can't
realistically you know you can't we're going to make
trying to competitive advantage in war
I'm not trying to be a see-so here but like
that's the problem it's like
the idea that like we're just trying
to offend ourselves is how we can
kind of justify a lot of this shit like we're always
and like it really is we're the ones starting most of these
wars and doing it
best of, you know, if not military industrial entities, then, you know, then companies, like,
you know, United Fruit or fucking BP, um, or dull sugar, uh, so whatever, um, I don't accept
the premise, but that being said, look, of course, we'll just put a pin in that and go, yeah,
people want their secrets and it's not crazy. So, when it's got a guy like Snowden comes out,
or a guy like, fucking, you know, Julian Assange comes, well, Snow's a little,
different. I think he actually stolen himself.
But Julian Assange
has a situation where he goes, hey,
you know, WikiLeaks, as far as I know,
the whole idea of WikiLeaks is they built
a server where
you could send to them and they wouldn't know who you are.
It's like really anonymous. And people scoff at that.
Now, I don't know enough about hacking to know
it was not bad, you know. Of course, you had a backdoor
who knew they were. I mean, look, the people sending him shit weren't necessarily
like, you know, idiots either.
So I don't know
Whatever
Point is that's the idea
I think it's a place to dump your shit
So you can get it out there
And yeah
The stuff that got released
Was all valid shit
It's all fucking valid shit
It's all real shit
No one's saying it's not real
So like
I don't know what kind of
And forgive my language
Kind of fucking cuck you have to be
For this government
It's not a government cuck
Where you go
Oh he stole our secrets
from daddy. He stole daddy's secrets and you're going to fucking start whining about it and go,
oh, we should get him. Oh, he got Trump alike because he stole daddy's secrets. Fuck you.
All right? This, you should be applauding this man. Not necessarily for the rape. If the rape is real,
don't applaud him. But for everything else, applauding this man. I mean, I'm sure he made a mess in
Ecuadorian embassy. He probably left hot pocket rappers everywhere. But for everything else,
applauding this man
for fucking getting this shit out there
you should applaud whenever information
comes out you know if these
dumb fucks are too
bad you know their jobs to fucking you know not get
spied on
I don't give a fuck
and these secrets shouldn't be secrets anyway
these secrets aren't like
launch codes for nuclear weapons
they're fucking you know
telling us about secret spying programs
on American citizens in the case of
Julius Snowden
or Assange that collateral murder video was a big one
the embassy yeah if i'm sure it fucked up diplomacy for the political interest of this fucking
country for you know in a few cases but you know what it's good to see how cynical the state
department acts and how these fucking people act don't fucking act like some oh he took danny's secrets
oh you're fucking pussies you're all such fucking bitches if you think that you fucking act
you're the greatest generation wherever the fuck i fought numb and you're afraid that some
fucking state department cables are going to come out
You fucking punks, I am so sick and tired of these fucking fake tough guys who fucking go over there and they fucking, whatever they do.
I'm sure some of them save each other and act like, you know, we're heroes who save each other.
Maybe you save some kid one time, but you're part of this fucking apparatus.
It goes over here and blows up countries, basically, for profit, and you come back and you go, oh, we're here.
Memorial Day, we're a hero.
Thank you so much.
I mean, I applaud.
I don't think most people who do it are on the frequency of knowing all this shit before they
do it so i'm not like saying they're monsters or but like and you're sure you acted with
valor you know you're fucking i mean you seem very nervous about someone stealing your valor it's like
oh god like once you grow up oh you're stealing valor some guy died in the thing i died in a thing
he made up he fucked up you know it's not fucking my i'm not saying you know fuck the guy
stealing the valor too but like this idea like this is some great thing oh you shouldn't be
able to fucking use this uniform you didn't kill enough kids to wear this uniform like
shut up like it's heroic to go but like you know if you just storm into a fucking room
because you heard there's a rapist and you start punching people it's like yeah i guess you
were being heroic sort of but like what you want me to do like give you a medal for punching
a bunch of innocent people because he thought it was a rape we thought there was a rapist all right
but like there wasn't and you kind of acted pretty brashly and now some fucking kids got his jaw
broken because he thought he was a rapist and it's like yeah i was trying to stop to
rapist i get it like i'm not saying that you're a bad person at heart kind of dumb maybe but you know
you should have just accepted there was a rapist there and like but whatever maybe we were all kind
of very excited a few minutes ago i get it we all had your temperatures were running a little hot
and you thought there was a rapist and you punched that you know fit 14 year old kid and now he's
gonna have you have jaw surgery whatever you see i'm going with this i don't blame the troops
per se uh but let's not i feel like you know there's a moral hazard you're
create when you fucking act like, you know, everything's heroic.
And my point is, even if we put the pin in that, these same fuckers are, I mean, maybe
not all the same guys, but they seem to be the guys who go, uh, Julian, son just now and be
fucking die. Fuck you, all right?
I don't know what you, why, how you can think this country is working for you.
Like, when this whole, this whole thing's a fucking sham.
This is why it's like, whatever. Blow it up.
I don't know.
I mean, I am not advocating anyone, but like, I don't let me blow it up.
I mean, you know, if China, it's like, you know, if we're going to be in a war, I guess we keep fighting.
I mean, because you can't wait again.
You let China win or anyone win the war of Sweden.
You can't.
And that's where we land.
You got to keep fighting, I guess.
It's got to point.
We're going to collide into a war.
Then we have to fight, even though all the other wars we didn't have to.
Happy Memorial Day.
Happy Memorial Day.
It's been a great time.

and I feel it gets a little bit
Some of the detail gets lost, and you hear a little bit of, uh, whatever.
So, you know, it's not the most audio.
I'm not going to buy a thousand on microphone.
They're not going to be wrong.
