Episode Date: June 15, 2026

https://www.patreon.com/raykump Support the show + get bonus episodes every week.Ray watches America build its own cage: UFC on the White House lawn, World Cup buses burning after the Knicks win, Trump reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire, FISA warrant theater, digital prisons, sports riots, and whatever dignity is left.

As I'm recording this, more blood is being spilled on the White House lawn than any time since the War of 1812, or the very least since Hunter Biden suffered a 12-hour nosebleed on Easter. UFC Freedom 250 is underway. Judges tried to block it. Reasonable men try to argue against it. But when Dana White arranges to have grown men literally beat the memories of their first-born sons out of each other's skulls

on the same spot where Eleanor Roosevelt pushed FDR in a wheelchair and slashed his legs with a switchblade to assert dominance, well, he just don't turn that down. The World Cup also came to America this weekend. On Saturday night, yellow school buses being used to transport ticket holders were set on fire by New York Knicks fans celebrating their NBA championship. The spectacle of a half dozen school buses burning in the street shocked foreign World Cup fans, who were surprised that America was so committed to authentically

honoring the traditions of their games. Speaking of Bloodsport, the U.S. and Iran have finally struck a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Ships of the world start your engines, Trump wrote, invoking images of NASCAR or September 11th, depending on which one you prefer watching. only time will tell how long it stays open but much like a cut above the eye the UFC fight hopefully stays open long enough for us to die with dignity instead of bleeding out in a dumpster

or the other way around we'll know soon enough and speaking of gaping wounds SpaceX IPO this week making Alon Musk the world's first trillionaire and good for him if you design a product that everyone wants, then you deserve to be granted all sorts of weird monopoly deals by the government.

And even if only some people want your product, shut up and eat dirt, money peasant. Make no mistake, people aren't investing in SpaceX, Tesla, or Sterling. They're investing in a future digital prison, staffed by Musk robots, powered by Musk batteries, surveilled by Musk satellites, and being driven insane by Musk's tweets. The real product is a cage That you're letting them build where your house used to be Enjoy your sports Enjoy your rockets

Now go to sleep in the street Welcome to the blood-soaked sandlot Welcome to Kump The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete Congratulations to all I hereby fully authorized the toll-free opening Of the Strait of Hormout Should I be doing this to the Trump in front

The deal with that is a lot of republic if I ran is now complete. Congratulations to all. I hereby fully authorized a total free opening of a Strait of Hulmoos and simultaneously herewith authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval Blockade. What's that? Ships of the world, start your engines. Let the oil flow President Donald J. Trump. Well, that's exciting.

This is exciting. And it might last more than the day. It might last forever. This might be the end of the war. You just never know anymore. So it's a little bit of a roulette. I don't know. It's an Iranian roulette or Trump roulette.

It's, you know, it's, there's a lot of ends and out to the deal. Let's see what, let's see what we got here. Oil slips over 4% after U.S. Iran reached peace deal, we opened straight-of-hormoos. That's good. Oil prices slipped on Monday, which is tomorrow, after U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran's deputy foreign minister, so they reached a deal to halt the war and resume traffic through Strait of Hormuz.

The four cents isn't bad. You know, that's actually a nice start. I mean, if it goes down, we might get all our money back, which I'm excited about. And it's just in time for summer. You know, if we wrap up this Iran thing, you know, look, I mean, is Israel going to bomb Lebanon some more? Almost certainly. I try to sabotage the deal.

Yeah, of course. But I mean, you know, they did an E-Sign, which I didn't know they did that with these foreign treaties or whatever you call them. I thought they only did that for like, you know, when you try to cheat money out, you kid, you know, you re-sign your will. You try to cheat your kids out of money. But apparently, you can just sign a treaty on E-Sign, on DocuSign, which is pretty exciting. Um, the best thing about diplomacy is never having to go to another country. That's always what I say. Um, you know, a lot, we'll sign a deal.

You sign a deal. You stay in your free. You stay in friggin' Tehran. No one needs your shit. No one needs your. I mean, what would they, where do they even bring? Do they, is, is that, was that, was that only like a Japanese thing? Because I ran, forgive my ignorance.

If I, if it's not something, would they bring Baklava? I know that's Greek, but I think also, like sometimes the other, or Halva, I know that's maybe Iran's got different I don't know what kind of Iranian cupcakes they might bring or maybe some kind of Iranian wine I know typically tea totalers but you know maybe they produce wine for foreign people drink

I don't know what could this is the kind of situation is exactly what you don't have to talk about what gift do we bring Trump like he's been bombing us yeah but we have to bring a gift and like imagine imagine that you know being the Iranian like a foreign minister or even the goddamn Supreme leader and you got to come here to make a deal. Or even if we go to Switzerland or something, right?

And you got to bring a fucking like a wood box with a, with like smoked meats in it. And you go, here's, this is a sign of fertility and, and goodwill going forward. And you're like, thanks for killing my dad. You're not going to build a nuclear bomb now. We weren't going to. You destroy you.

You, you frigging buried a little nuclear shit in a remount. anyway he submitted it the other day like oh we can't do the deal they can't get the new material out of the matter that was the whole point of the war we can't get the you know we did the whole thing last year we we we bombed it we try to get get on the mountain and that shit that that that fucking fire plane went down supposedly it's really it was really the smoke screen so you can do some kind of crazy special ops raid to get the new new material out of the ground and didn't work and uh allegedly right maybe it didn't happen maybe it's You know, it makes more sense.

They send like half of the, half of the army, half of the goddamn planes in the whole army. I know, whatever, Air Force to go get one guy. It was just black hog down? Just saying, good for them, good for everyone. That we're, you know, it's an exciting time. Let's look at the attendance of this deal. Iran deal just signed.

I saw that article was it. I sourced an article, uh, whatever. A document's selling will take place Friday. Oh, they're gonna get together.

Oh, they gotta, they gotta get something nice for us. I want them to bring like a, like a wood bird. Not just like, I don't mean like a little cuckoo clock. I mean like a big wooden crane.

Imagine like an, I ran out all sorts of crazy craftsmen. Imagine if they built like an artisan, like a wonder. beautiful peacock of some sort and brought it to us and said, here's a sign of love and peace. That would be a classy thing.

I mean, that's the thing. You don't make peace with your friends. That's the whole thing, right? You don't have to impress people who already like you. You win us over with your wonderful bird and then the next generation we don't have this problem. We should have had in the first place. I'm not Mr. War.

I'm not Mr. Let's bomb a country. You're not convinced me. I'm telling you, like obviously not everyone agrees with me. And some people, so let's just try to make a nice gift. The deal, let the oil flow. Sharif made a similar announcement minutes before Trump's statement. Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the peace deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic has been reached. A signing was scheduled Friday in Switzerland.

Oh, it is, see, I should be in charge. I should work at the State Department. No other details of the agreement were immediately available. Well, that doesn't seem like a good sign. I mean, I've heard, I've heard rumor. I've heard tell that we're giving them like $25 billion. We're releasing $25 billion. Releasing a lot of money, which like, whatever.

I don't think, you know, people, people act like, oh, you're going to use this money to invade to, you know, do all sorts of shenanigans and, and, you know, build a nuclear bomb. Maybe they'll use it to invest in Bitcoin, dummies, all right? Isn't Bitcoin is a relatively low, you know, it's a dip right now. And maybe they're looking around going, hey, there's oil. We took a haircut because we got bomb so much. And my dad died and the bombs.

And that girl's school got blown up. Maybe we can recoup some of our losses. We'll buy Bitcoin in the dip and it'll go up. I don't think they're worried about a nuclear bomb right now. I think they're going to get crypto. I think they're going to, I think the Supreme Leader might get, you know, try to get some glow up, get some plastic surgery going like clavicular clavicular clavicular i don't like his new nose but you know he's not doing it to impress me uh the immediate and permanent end of war military operations on

various fronts including lebanon will be announced from tonight garibaldi said according to step me they say this every other week let's hope let's hope we're sitting here a year from now i don't remember on Trump's birthday when they got together with Dana White on the White House long and it's beating each other what was the guy's name

what was these what's the card 80th birthday what's this goddamn UFC fight cold UFC freedom 250 who's the what's the card there's some crazy names

who's fighting tonight they should bring back I mean honestly they should bring back everyone all these people they have in the UFC who's fighting Who's fighting against Freedom 250?

I wish I had a robot. The main card features Toppera and Justin Gate. I've heard Justin Gates is very violent. Like, I was looking at it up, and I'm like, well, he's only, is this even a good card? Apparently he's a decent card. I haven't watched you have seen solo. They should bring back, like, Leota Machita and Randy Roadhouse.

With that guy? Who is that? They should bring back Brock Lester. Imagine Brock Lester. Why don't I just have a UFC seniors? You know? Because no one, I don't think they, look, this will go on forever. Like, you know, if you just keep a gristmill, you need champions.

This is probably the UFC. I mean, this is a big thing for them. And they're making plenty of money. But there's too many UFC events. And these champions seem to kind of come and go. And you need, you need to have people who stay on top for a long time. Like Trump. Trump defines an error whether you love him or hate him

so that Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter didn't really You know he defined it a very poor way Even if you give him a little bit of credit for building a house He just didn't handle The negative things with great uh He didn't inspire anyone You know like the Queen of England

Right Elizabeth people now Because she she like what she uh She like didn't she didn't hide driven the Blitz, right? The Nazis were bombing England, and she's like, screw it. If I die, I die, good for this, good for me. And they, like, we don't care. And then people like that, people relate to that.

And then there was something nice. I remember this when COVID happened. It was something, I just, like, was sitting there going, like, this is nice that the queen who was there when the blitz happened. It's the same queen now, a different kind of blitz, right? It's just a certain continuity. I don't, you know, you have random UFC fighters. every five seconds, you lose kind of the continuity of an error.

Mike Tyson defined the 80s and Muhammad Ali to find like the 70s, right? Or the 60s. But yeah, George Foreman, you know, this is what you don't need, you know, if you don't want to give the impression that it's just like a big battle royale where everyone's just kind of burning themselves out in six months. And the next young buck comes in. He hasn't had his traumatic brain injuries yet. and he hasn't had his jaw rewired six times

and he's ready he's easy and he hasn't you know he hasn't actually uh he hasn't been eating solid food because he doesn't have money right you get that money you have you have money all of a sudden you're eating rice and beans you can you can afford that and you get soft you know that's kind of uh it doesn't take away from the skill i'm not talking about like the purity of the sport i'm talking about the narrative you need to have names and now I don't know if Topowera, maybe Toppera is, maybe I'm being biased,

maybe I'm being an old, I'm being a boomer, UFC Freedom 250. I mean, I don't know, any of these people. Gade, Cyril Gain,

Alex Pereira, that might, Sean O'Malley. I mean, why not, why not have like a, like a John Claude Van Dan fight,

you know, Steven Seagal, things like that. Well, here's, he's an idea. you. That's a silly one because, you know, Steven Seagulls was famously kind of, you know,

I don't want to get, I don't want to get beat up by his mom friends, but, you know, not great fighter compared to like a John Claude Van Damme. But why not have like Ben Affleck fight Matt Damon at this UFC thing? Like, you have the main thing. Have your, like your core sport.

That's fine. And get, and make it blood, make it bloody. But I used to watch, you know, Anderson Silva, the spider. And he had these long arms and long legs who just kick you from like eight feet away. And he was a nasty guy, right? It was just like it was.

And he seemed unstoppable until he wasn't. And he had Fador. He was ever in USC. He was in pride. But you have like Matt, everyone, people don't always know these people. And like it takes a while to get in.

And this is the White House, right? So you have to kind of shortcut things. You're telling me Matt Damien and Ben Affleck haven't trained to like, you know, at least fight in like a movie? They have, all right?

They've gotten in shape. They know how to throw boxing hand. I mean, they're fighting each other. I'm not asking them to fight a professional fighter, okay? They're from Boston. Just steal their hot dog. They'll fight each other. Famous Boston fights started by hot dogs.

No, but seriously, start a, have more, you know, have a lot of these actors, these opportunities are drying up. Hollywood is not what it used to be. These stranger things kids, they're all adults, right? I'm not advocating for child fighting here I think they're all 18 if they are you know the ones who are are eligible and they should have to fight and the cobra kai kids let's see how let's see how much you train for that

for that you know karate kids show and then the kissing the people from kissing Netflix should just do this it's like you you put you at the pasture we need to you know this this can't just be a bunch of no name, no offense to these guys. They'll all kill me, but no name UFC guys. What are we looking at here?

This is a, look at these cards. You guys know these people? And if you do, ask yourself, how many times did you have to look at their baseball card and your bicycle spokes to remember who they are? They're not flashy name. Bo Nickel, I'm sure he's a fun guy. Kyle Docket, he looks like a coder.

Again, they all kill me, like, but whatever, like, we need, we need some pomp and circumstance. I don't know where we stand with this because it's straight and four moves like this is going to be tied together with it right like imagine like this is this is Trump's brain Trump turns 80 today

80 years old and New York Times ran a nasty little article about how how he's getting old and he doesn't want to face it like wait he's 80 year old man of course you know when I'm 80 I hope to just you know he's like he basically sits in the people sit in the chair and people go around him and they uh and they you know and he kind of

just tweets all night or true social uh it's like that seems like that's so much more than my grandpa did hello i don't oh he just washed dishes i mean he's trying to say active i guess he washed dishes he used to be a butcher whatever like i you know i'm just saying like it's like what are grandpa supposed to do what are 80 year old men supposed to do HVAC Like supposed to This is the right you know Their memoir

Like I mean it's fine It's just like you know But it is his birthday And he's a You know We're honoring His his 80 years With this great peace deal

And this UFC And imagine if you did something terrible Tonight Like Diego Lopez for Steve Garcia I mean they won't Because I want them hunting me down But let's just say Some random fighter, not these guys.

Don't come at me. Shit their pants where they were fighting. You know, just like, you know, and like, and not in a way where it's leaking out horribly, but you just kind of, you know, what you're wearing maybe lighter trunks, whatever they call those, and you can see a spot, like a brown spot.

And people were just dogging on them on the internet and you did that in front of the world on the White House. I mean, it's one thing to do that in some, you know, arena casino in Vegas. But you do that in front of, on the world. You fucking, the whole world sees you shit your pants.

And you might be dominating. Like maybe, maybe you're hitting a guy so hard in the neck. Are you allowed to punch the neck? What if I have a guy and like, he's on my knee and he's bent over my knee like backwards, right? And I'm just punching his neck.

And I'm, I'm punching him with like a fucking, is it, I don't know if it makes any benefit, but if you punch with your fingers out. So like, you know, it's like, imagine you, could do that. I know it's like I'd break my fingers, but imagine he was

really good at it and like, so each finger was a strike into his neck. And he's not trying to rip his throat out like some piece of shit. He's just, you know, it's just another thing that hurts. He's not trying to take your trache and destroy it. He's just, he's flicking more pain. And he's, imagine

doing that, being such a crazy fighter. And Trump's watching, going, this is great. Let him hit with his fingers. Punch your neck. And then like and then you just you just kind of lose control because you hit you hit him so hard that you fucking shit your pants I mean just you never live it that you like would it would be such a disgrace right Even though like it's you can you know who can control human body who can control any of this That's the stakes here. That's what we're dealing with

I don't know I mean not sure what my point is i mean i have my overall point but i mean it would just be it would be a shame it would be a shame and uh you know it wouldn't be a shame signing up for the cump patreon patreon. patreon.com slash ray comp because if you like comp uh and why wouldn't you uh you might be going i need more of this i can't wait uh you know i get it and i wait seven days that's crazy i might you know shit my pan i go that's that's you know do what you got to do uh you have it you have options.

congratulations we're moving on the Knicks and it's such a the NBA finals were last night what an exciting time for us New Yorkers us people from New York people seem to hate New Yorkers so much I don't know why I mean everyone burns down their city

when they have a big win right everyone is nasty I mean people in Philly are tough and they talk a lot of smack talk about shit right and people in Boston talk a lot of shit. Why is everyone like, I mean, I've seen people, I was happy for Boston when they won two years ago.

People seem to be very angry about, you know, these Knicks fans. I know some, there were some of them were beating up some Spurs fans, but then the other ones, Spurs fans are beating up Knicks fans. It seemed to go both ways. My whole thing is like, you know, as long as, as long as there's extreme violence on each side, it's a wash, right? you know you can't really blame a franchise people just seem to want not like new york they don't like what it represents they don't like um the smells they don't like you know they don't like

time square i guess and look i mean we have this this is a world cup bus sets the set of light as chaotic celebrations erupt in manhattan if or nix win uh a world cup bus to set of light after a teen i think my not just one though they're saying i think a bunch of them did and a teenager suffered a gunshot wound jesus during chaotic scenes in midtown manhattan as thousands of basketball fans poured into streets late on saturday night to celebrate the next historic win i mean some fans that have fireworks and fired smoke grenades after spilling out of packed bars and outdoor venues chanting nixen 5 to mark their team's victory i mean you usually yelled that before the game or during the game right i think you yelled that you don't i've ever heard you only

yelled Nixon five when they just won in five. But, you know, I digress. The marketer team's victory in the fifth game of a possible seven. Around 2 a.m. a 17-year-old was shot in the foot during celebrations of Times Square. Three pieces of...

So they burned that. I don't know, look. People love to go, whoa, well, you people burn down their city when they win. Why would you burn? I mean, because sometimes, look, it's understandable on some level. to burn down your city if you lose, right?

I'm not saying, I'm not condoning it. I don't personally understand, like, the, I wouldn't do it. But, like, you kind of get the mechanism of, like, you're so mad, and maybe you think the reps were nasty. They were nasty corrupt refs, which there was some talk about that

in earlier games in this series, right? Like, people were, you know, there was some, it's always questionable calls. And no call to conspiracy, I mean, don't forget, like, what, 10, 15 years ago, there was a whole controversy

with the guy, Tim Donagy who went to jail for like, you know, fixing games. And, you know, he was friends with some people who were still refs. So, you know, it's not, it's not absurd, right? I mean, it's in their interest to kind of not really address it and cover it up or whatever. But, you know, people feel, can feel slighted. And you just can't, you know, and when you're in a crowd, the whole, the whole, the great thing about a crowd is that there's no consequences, except, you know, you're in a crowd.

you might die. But, you know, there's no, like, there's very little chance that you'll get arrested. Or at the very least, it's like a gambling thing where it's like, we're all, like a thousand people, like we're all, we're all just burn this church. You know, right? And like, and like, you know, only one of it.

It's like, it's one of those things where it's like, only one of us will go to jail. It's one of those riddles or whatever. It's got to be some kind of, but I'm not sure what the biological thing of that is. And when people get together, it's usually, like, hunt buffalo or elephants, right?

Back in the day, like hunting parties, that's probably where it comes from. When you get a bunch of people together, it's probably because we all got to, like, fight a big animal. That's our biology. So, you know, but when you win,

you would think, oh, when you win, why would you do anything? You're supposed to be happy, but that's the thing. You're still, like, it's still inside you. You still want to destroy. And, you know, I'm surprised there weren't riots on,

you know, VJ day and remember VE Day? Maybe there were. We always see those things in Times Square. The guy kissing the nurse or whatever. And they go, everyone was so happy that World War II ended. I wouldn't be surprised if they burned,

if they, you know, just destroyed a bunch of hot dog carts. They just beat the shit out of people. You know, they did their own little attacks. They bombed Japan again. Whatever. Because it's just like, you know, it's hard to be in a crowd and not just get, you know, not just get nasty and violent.

It's something against, it's a trigger, right? I mean, a big crowd. I'm surprised Times Square or not on New Year's Eve. That's why they have to have so many cops. Because people are probably just like, you know, just start losing their minds. Like it's a prison, like, you're watching Dick Clark back with Biden Seekrest and you're watching like a,

who they have. They'll have like a Chumbawamba playing, right? Or some band, like some, they'll have like Maroon 5. And you just kind of go, I got a, I got a deuce. I fucking hurt somebody. Like you start pissing. I mean,

you know, you're not going to have to piss and shit. That's thing. I've been in like, in like parade crowds. It gets very claustrophobic. I'm not a claustrophobic guy. But I mean,

you know, I get the human instinct. I'm not saying what you can do it. You have to put people in jail when they burn down school buses and, and shoot 17 year olds. You know, is what it is. I'm just saying,

like, we should be more careful about how often we just get together in crowds. There's nothing good. ever have, when's the little, I guess the Berlin Wall get knocked down. But I mean, you know, but think about it. It's like, that happened to be a righteous thing, right? The Berlin Wall kept people imprisoned in the,

behind the iron curtain. But like, you know, imagine that was, you know, just shift your perspective slightly. Maybe they just didn't like a new, a new tax law and like, and they took down the whole wall. I mean, people got together.

That wasn't planned. That happened very spontaneously, the Berlin Wall. getting you know i mean there was there was things happening things are moving in that direction i'm just saying when people get together in a crowd we should that maybe we should maybe i'm we should go in the opposite direction if we want um better government if we want better water we should maybe get we should get together in crowds more just get in the streets i think that's a problem people don't still get in the street other countries people when things don't go your way you just get in the streets and like you don't like you don't like you don't like you

I mean, you go, well, what happens? Why would they care of your protests? They're evil government. They're like, yeah, but it's just kind of, everyone gets real uncomfortable when you're in the street. You're not even allowed to hang out in the street. That's, I mean, to be fair, though, that's probably a problem in New York. So many of these streets are not allowed to drive in.

They shut down driving so people can lays about in the street and any baguettes. What do you think is Paris? It's not right. A bicycle was hauled onto the roof of another bus and supporters of the Brazilian soccer team join Knicks fans on the roof of a bus waving their national flag. A man with a bleeding face walked through the crowds, but Reuters cannot determine what causes injury.

This sounds chaotic. I'm very happy for the Knicks, but this sounds, here's a picture of the bus. You know, it's other people on buses. You know, people are beyond buses. It's just a lot of fun. You know, they're at a regal theater. You can see the background.

Maybe they were watching the new He-Man movie. and he got excited when we were everyone afterwards yeah i mean look it's just you can throw them all in jail maybe you should all these people but you know it's just people love the idea of uh of being part of like a people want to be part of a giant human centipede and hear me out you know these crowds with the people show up to like even i saw john stewart was in the west village at a watch party right on the street john stewart surrounded by regular people allow themselves to be touched and grope probably you know you know my grope you know like you're getting touched a bit even by accident you would and like you know good for him allowing that

to happen i'm just saying that's how much people want to be a part of this like i watch the game on my couch with my tv i don't care i don't need to know i like you like the nix and i like the nix cool we talk about it you know the water cooler i don't you know i i don't have that thing i i i wouldn't go live in the woods and like just chop wood and talk to a squirrel talking to my cat i don't need to have like a whole thing with like sports right like you know but i do get it it does like part of me understands it i just i'm just maybe to uh maybe i'm afraid of rejection i feel like i would you know if i was at one of these things i would just go too far i would just you know i would break the wrong window i would throw i would throw a brick and would hit some girl and then everyone would be mad at me like i thought we

were doing a thing. I thought we were, I thought we were getting crazy. And they just go, who, who are you friends with? What do you mean? This is this is a big next thing in the city. Like, no, we're all a big friend group. Like, what? Like, a thousand people here. We all went to college together, you fat idiot. Like, that's my biggest fear in life. I don't, I don't, you know, I try to put on a brave face, but I'm a kind of guy who would just, I would just start yelling anyway, but I wouldn't like it. I'd be uncomfortable. If I realized that this whole, well, I thought was a riot was actually like a frat that was getting back together. Yeah,

it's, that's an awful feeling. You know, like that kid went to jail, the Carmelo Anthony kid, got convicted, what, 30 years,

35 years. We stabbed the guy because he pushed them. And I get, you know, and like, you know, you don't get it. I'm saying,

like you, you, you should go, you should go to jail. If you take it longer, I don't know what the precedents are, but, you can't,

you, whether he's a dick or not in that moment, for pushing him, or whatever he did, you can't, stab someone for that. But I do get why he was upset. Because if what they say is true and he just

like he was in the wrong tent and they made him feel that way. Again, you got to learn to not stab people when you're upset. But like, you know, whatever. And then they pushed them. But I had a thing when I was in a Bob Dylan con. I got bought, I thought I was doing a nice thing for Lucy. I think she loves Bob Dylan. But yeah, we go crazy with this money for the ticket. And I looked at the

ticket chart at the P. It was at the P&N. see art center in jersey and i really thought like oh this seems like a pretty decent ticket for the money it was terrible you couldn't see shit you couldn't see dog shit and bob dillon like he just wears like a windbreaker hoodie like a like a like a like a like a poncho now and you barely you came i literally couldn't see him but i was like we got there we got there late because it was one of these things there was like 15 people on the on the on the on the uh ticket right on the on the show and i was watch these shit bands and then we get there and it's like they say it's like a hill that you can like be on and uh

it was really just it was just a slope you know and like some I walked over that we were watching some of the concert and this guy comes over like hey you're on our thing I'm like why I looked down it's like a blanket like all right and the guy was like to think about it and like I'm sorry I'm on your blanket like what the fuck is this like who's just like you're just gonna like lay you're just gonna lay blankets down and control the grass I should have just shit in this fucking blanket. I should have said piss off, mother. Mother scum fuck, you know?

Like, what is this? Um, anyway. This is Trump says FISA extension must include voting bill. I don't think, but this is not the, there is no extension, right? Like, this is, uh, he was president Trump, uh, something he opposes any renewal of the FISA act.

Does not include a Safe America Act, which require proof of citizenship for voting. Oh, so they still might do it. I thought they were like getting rid of the FISA thing. Well, I think they are. The Congress on Thursday rejected a short-term extension of the foreign surveillance powers admitted a standoff over Trump's

selection of an inexperienced loyalist, Bill Pute, serves as the acting director of national intelligence or similar. What kind of deal is that? I mean, here's the thing. They're not getting they're not letting shit lapse. Now, you know, FISA's the foreign intelligence,

these are like the foreign surveillance warrants. They would get, like, back in, like, the, they were a big deal back in like a you know the war on terror days and still are I guess but like you know you go with judge you get a secret warrant to surveil people um and I think they were like they started they were you they were given them like you know you surveil people who aren't American citizens or on our soil other countries whatever I guess and uh it was like it was like it was judicial but it was like extrajudicial right here's the thing here's why they're

in the last. We'll play, we'll play poker with it. They don't need warrants anymore. No one needs a warrant. This idea that like, look at what the courts are doing. Look how they're at. I mean, no one's going to give you shit if you just go and like, you know, just start filming. I mean, you could film it. Just pretend you're like a tech company, which they are. I mean, the CIA, everyone in the CIA owns a tech company.

They just, they surveil you through a fucking toilet app. You know, you have one of these, like, Japanese smart toilets as a bidet built in, which are very nice. I've had, I've tried one on occasion. It's an hotel. Very nice. Having the water door up your ass, very nice. And they have apps for it. And the app just like, you know, no one needs this idea now that you need to have some like mission impossible team go in to like find, you know,

oh, we got to find out what the, what the head of Iran saying. You can find out from his toilet. You can listen to his asshole through iTunes or whatever for the app store. So it's just it's a little bit laughable that we're talking about FISA war. It's outdated. Silicon Valley has completely relegated these things. They are like, you know, we're allowing them to build, you know, Alon Musk, I mentioned in the opening, is a trillion there now, right?

And they're built, you know, and I get it. People like the Tesla car. I'm not saying none of his products are. successful products, right? But you think about, like, who, who was big before? Like, who was a big, like, say what you will about Microsoft, right?

And Windows, which is, especially now, it's annoying. But, uh, so many people used it. So many people had it, right? Like, on their system, it was, every computer, but, you know, except back then, like, fucking,

when Gates was on top, like, Apple has a tiny market chair, right? And it was just the, the bad dog motherfucker you know standard oil back in the day he's like he control like how much is the oil market that he controlled there's a ton of it right you think about the world's richest guys

typically you know anything Amazon like how much how much commerce happens through Amazon Musk is able to do it through like with relatively I know a lot of people have Tesla don't get me wrong but they're buying the future they're buying this idea that you'll be the monopoly guy in the future you'll be in control in the future.

And there's a lot of, I guess, you know, first, the first guy on the scene kind of pricing that goes into it. And I'm not saying it's even a bad business thing. It just seems like there is no more, like, nothing's based on how well a company runs anymore. It seems to be like, there seems to be priced into the market and into the way money works and the way people get valued. Like, you know, this idea that, like, you know, we all know that we're about to go through a, a molting, you know, the way a butterfly, you know, it starts out as a shitty bug.

And then a hard shell grows around their skull. And then they break out of the shell, the shell and become a butterfly. Except we're not going to have, you know, and maybe they keep telling us we're going to look like beautiful butterflies. maybe they get to eat us and the shit regardless they accept that this change is happening and they don't no one really knows and they just want like if you can convince people convincingly

you become a character you can convince people that like you're going to be like you can that you're going to be the only game in town that you're going to have government contracts that you're going to be like you're much better off establishing why you're like no one else could like

where you're cornering a market which always sounds good but I mean like um then like building a product that people want now they want they what they want is like a prison in the future and and they they don't want to be iced out people are very

afraid of being iced out because people have people have money already have money and they like power don't give me more they like power but I think a big part of it is they don't want to get fucked. They don't want to be in a situation where, like, because look, you have all this money.

If somehow, like, let's just say everyone gets their money, money into a certain crypto, for instance, and then the currency just inflates, and then you didn't have that crypto. I mean, it's just for, like, you know, like, now that you have so many weird, um, digital, like, assets and, like,

and, and you have so many different currency. And even just, just the status quo, with the currency markets, you could be in a situation where, you know, more than ever, a rich person can get wiped out if you're not smart. So it's this kind of game where they're playing about, you know, and but that's the thing, this is why you need to have a, you know,

government that got the people's back. Because, yeah, rich people will always back, I mean, this is not that any different than when, like, they would backstab each other when, you know, when, when, when the patriarch died, they would go backstab each other or where the king died, right? It's not like nothing new, but it's like, you know, when everything's kind of a status quo for a while, and then a external event happens, and then people kind of go crazy trying to secure their position.

And all these wars happen, you know, in the middle ages, these wars would happen. And the people are ones who get screwed. Yeah, but if you happen to be like those kids that like Richard III supposedly murdered in that tower, which I, was that debunked, whatever, they accused Richard the third of like killing his name. nephews in the tower. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I don't know. But the point he did, it's like those kids got screwed.

But for the most part, these things fell onto the, into the peasants, you know? And these are people who don't even give a shit. What do I care who's, you know, I'm sitting here like, you know, shoving when you were into a pineapple or whatever, growing things. I don't care who, like, who's a feudal lord. It's all crazy.

It's all wild and crazy shit. Oh, man. But yeah, so it's like, you know, basics IPO makes a long must. The world's first trillionaire. He said, it's just like, is that because he's like, you know, and again, what does that matter, right?

What does it matter? Yeah, it matters. I think I told me as maybe last time. It matters because you control, um, whatever this fake fucking shit is, right? Like, whatever, we're that fake shit,

but whatever it is kind of like, uh, it gives you leverage, right? You can use this, Like, you know, even, let's just, you just build a company that, like, you just build a digital prison. Why can't I build a, maybe, Ray Comp, I can build generational wealth by building a digital prison. It'll be the world's first digital prison. All of your digital, in the future, you will exist largely online.

Yes, you'll have a corporeal body, the way, you know, as they say, you'll have flesh and blood. But all of your interactions will be in prison. all of your, all of your wealth. Like, I mean, like, there's some way, again, here's a problem with me. I'm sitting here, like, explain, let me start over. Because here's how you sell a digital print.

In the future, all interaction will be online. Everything that matters. Money, power, voting, your children's education, all happens on the internet. But what if you did something wrong on the internet. You were a bad boy and now we need to hold you accountable. Welcome to the comp, the digital prison comp. Okay, here's what we do. We cut you off from the internet for a fixed

period of time, allotted by a digital judge and you're not allowed to make money. You're not allowed to date. You're not allowed to watch your kids grow. Your kids are in Switzerland being trained by samurai in the global marketplace and you're cut off from them and they're going to think you're a terrible father and that's good because you did something wrong to see like this is so much more confident than I usually am there's no no just keep talking none of none of it's hamming and hog what is they mean like how would you know how you still have to wear a body you know so if you can't work where you just this doesn't starve that none of that matters you won't be able to buy food if you can't use the internet.

You're in prison. And Kump will dominate the future digital prison market. Outdated brick and mortar prisons are full of sexual assaults, and they smell like shit. But not the Kump prison. The Kump prison is clean and exists in your mind. And you're cut off from the grace of God, AKA

Um You know The internet ChatG BT You love that shit right You love chat GPT But you can't have it now Because you have fucking murdered someone

Oh yeah You told you told you download it like a fucking music file No this is like real shit You murdered your son Well now you go to digital prison No more internet for five years You have to go You have to go live in

They'll have a dozen Comple design designated brick and mortar towns just will buy old West towns dirt towns and like you know shitty places I go buy up you know buy up any kind of terrible

and you just live there and you live and actually be kind of nice honestly not you know huge thing if you the idea of living in an old school town without the internet without I think the phones have ruined our lives in a lot of ways kind of living off the grids

as it were would be kind of nice but yeah but you will you will have the knowledge of you've murdered your son and so i mean maybe you're a sociopath and you don't care but you know most people um you know they're like oh i can't believe i did that i can't believe i killed him let me just you know and you don't say the words in your head but you basically you kind of go let me just watch let me play some angry birds just kind of i forget uh there's pigs and angry birds and the pigs right or candy crush or uh or digital chess or You know, let me play some of this. I forget what I did.

Well, now you can't. Just go read, you've read a book. It's hard to read a book when you're guilty. When you've committed crimes. Um, you see what I mean? This is the kind of shit. It doesn't make any sense.

You just keep talking. No, I'll cut, you know, I'll break the fourth wall here. It's all bull. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, maybe this could work. If you're, if you build a bunch of old West ghost towns.

I mean, you, hundreds of thousands of people are in print, millions maybe you're in prison. I'm going to build talents for all these people. It doesn't even make sense. Why I just have a prison at that point? But that's, that makes as much sense as you need this rocket chip shit.

Oh, SpaceX, I mean, yeah, they have a Starlink, whatever. Starlink, you know,

internet that they can shut off. Great. It's, it's not like, this, this idea that like these companies, and it just, it doesn't matter because it's about,

this will be useful in the future. So many companies are what they call stock scams. anyway, right? They just kind of exist to get the stock price going, you know, rising and rising. I'm not saying anything crazy here. It's kind of known. But now what we're dealing with now is, it's basically that idea,

but like, but the money will be realized not when the IPO is, right, in the future. But this IPO they're doing now, it's basically just offloading the investment. And it doesn't mean they're going to sell. But like the people who've been investing in SpaceX for like, you know, have been private investors, right?

Private venture capitalists and private equity and shit, whatever. And now it's, you know, they can't sell right away. But like, you know, they haven't, when on those early investor shit, you can't sell. Maybe there's a mechanism for if you had to, but it's not really done. And I mean, if you sell, if you owe, if you were an early investor in SpaceX and you sold, you try to sell you. Hey, I need to, I'm getting divorced.

I need to sell this. You know, like, what? Like, if somehow that happened, they would probably find a way to make people, it'd be valuable, but you probably never be able to invest in these companies again. So my point is,

where is the point? Where the fuck are we talking about here? It's a good question. Digital prisons, SpaceX, 4th July. You know, I'd love to, why don't we have more, Iran agrees to not build nuke,

we'll reopen straight of our moves. and the u.s. releases 25 billion assets in trump peace deal. The ratings agrees to not build a nuclear weapon and to reopen the straight-of-hor moves if the u.s releases 25 billion in frozen assets this is before i guess before the deal went through i mean didn't they give it obama shit for this because he gave them assets the intentions before but it just seems like it seems like a real red herring why doesn't how don't know on pace being not to build a nuke that's the thing is that it's as much as it makes sense for

a lot must be a trillionaire. It makes sense for like a country to just be like, just make a bunch of, you know, hassle. Like if they, if for some reason

they're like cutting off your, like, you know, and it's just like, you know, try to build a nuke. And they'll kill your dad.

And you get to be the king, right? And then, you get bombed for a while. And then eventually you get a bunch of money. Is that how the world works? Am I boiling it down enough? We're living in,

in the future. I mean, they're not going to need warrants in the future. That's the point. No one's going to need a warrant. Does someone need a warrant to burn down a school bus? That's the thing. When you're facing a loaded gun, it's like with a life of the party.

When you're facing a loaded gun, you don't ask, where's your warrant? He said, please don't shoot me in the mouth. Am I crazy here? You know, like, it's just a matter of self-preservation. World Cup. I never got into soccer or football. as they call it.

I should try. I mean, I'd love to, maybe this, maybe this will be a summer of me watching soccer. Because, you know, they have their whole, you know,

in the Europe, they have this whole hoolism thing, right? They have this whole, um, or at least in England they have. I think it's big. It's like, when they get together,

they just, they just go crazy. They, they, there was a whole, some of they, they try to have tramplings where they trample, the crowd tramples,

the field. um people just lose their minds over sport because sport is all we have um it's always it's the only thing it's left that doesn't it's not completely like when you watch it regularly i mean yes it does seem rigs sometimes the refs do try to rig it but like but wild shit happens in sports way wilder and then like you know when you watch it like a fucking uh mediocre television show it's not like uh you you'll have these kind of weird plot control drivers is and it feels stupid but then when like i mean in game what was it game four of the of the NBA finals where uh the brunson you know it's a very like split second he like he got like a

shot off and miss and then was it was it was anjnobe whatever was fucking came in and tipped it and again it ain't that crazy right oh he missed it and the guy tipped it in if you wrote a script it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't you know oh it wouldn't it wouldn't seem that weird and wouldn't be that impactful, right? If that was, if that was a climax of the world or rings, you go, what? But when it's real, you lose your mind. And I'm not even the biggest basketball fan. I'm like, this is a main, me loser on the couch. And we got, we, you know, I've watched plenty in the past.

I've watched games, you know, I've watched whole seasons, whatever. This year, it was a single game. Even in the playoffs. Sometimes I was starting the playoffs in, you know, April. And it didn't. It was busy. We were moving, right? and uh point yeah and so like you know there's just this like uh but you get right into it right

you can be a frontrunner i don't care the the feeling is real right the feeling is real you know your city's thing i mean if we break it down it's just it's just an excuse to like you know to have you need to have a team though that's the thing it doesn't need to be a 20 year thing with a team right People you know front running is lame But like if you if you kind of commit if you like if you commit to that team for a period of time It's just about what benefits you because otherwise you don't get to rush you need to be down so you can be up again Just watching something when it's good you don't have any kind of you don't feel like you earned it now you didn't earn it no no you didn't earn it at all By sitting there and just taking it right yeah for years people hated James Dolan who's the owner of the

nix and he used to own nobody beast or whiz and all his shit and now he's like yeah out there and he said like last night when they won like i'm sorry it took so long new york uh they hated this guy and he seemed to make all the worst decisions even when he and he would make decisions like you you know he signed carmelo anthony but with the past his prime where he signed him in a way where you couldn't get other people i don't know i mean they hated him and all that hate led to what not doesn't matter like he just eventually it just worked out nothing you not Nothing the people did made a difference. The fans didn't, like me, you know,

I guess, I guess the fact that's New York are people like, you know, people like Steve Nade Smith are on TV going like, well, we should, we deserve a team that wins. And it's like, you know, it, you don't particularly, but, but when it's 50 years, anyone else is winning, it does kind of feel like what the fuck, you know, right? Like, you know, that's where it's always sold out on that level. But it wasn't because, you know,

it wasn't some mass campaigns that draft this guy. Jalen Brunton, you know, his dad worked there. at the Knicks. They got them. They got traded from the, from the Dallas. And they let him go for cheap, cheaper than he should have.

People, yeah, there's nothing. He's there with Luca Braunschick. And people, you know, he wasn't even, it was good there, but it wasn't that good. Sometimes, you know, you're in a good situation.

You need to be, some people need to be the dog. And that's like, in come digital prison, you're the dog. You'll thrive. Because we're taking you out of the rat race and we're putting you into a digital

prison where you can actually be the master of your own domain. Now, your domain is tiny and doesn't affect other people anymore, but you can learn to be the dog. Come prison. Learn to be the dog. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. Prison should make you a better person.

Although, I mean, I guess if someone murders your kids, you don't want that. Unless you're, I mean, you know, people talk a lot of shit about being a Christian. If you're a real Christian, yeah. You know, look, I mean, I really, I really agree with Jesus. And so I do forgive you. But most people were like, I don't want you to improve.

Oh, I learned to read while I was in jail. Now you get to enjoy books. How does that make me feel better? My kid, my kid, like reading, and he's not alive anymore. You fucking set a school bus on fire after the next one. And he was inside, hiding. You know, because he was, he was hiding from

the cops, because he was, he was He was, you know, he was doing a lot of other crimes. But regardless, he shouldn't be killed for that. Piece of garbage. A piece of rat. You see how this goes? I don't know. I'm just saying there's a certain scale.

There's a certain... People need to be the dog. A lot of Musk needs to be the dog. I mean, if a lot of Musk was working for someone else, he wouldn't do shit. It'd be terrible if he was someone's employee. That guy would be riding him all day alone. Look, what are you talking? we from South Africa.

What the fuck is that? All you do is talk about this horse shit with the satellites and the rockets. Enough. You know, cut the meat. Cut the something. You make the sandwich. He'd be terrible at subway sandwiches. But he's pretty good at making the company that builds a rockets.

I'm not saying the rockets are good. The cars are good. I've had beef with this guy forever. But I mean, he's good at being that guy. The trolling. I mean, part of that job is being his trolling weirdo. And making people hate you. you and trawl and weird and I don't know

it seems like it's existence that doesn't even make sense to people but also I couldn't do it I lose my mind I would be like well I maybe maybe we should try to build like a some kind of you know weird tower to heaven we're gonna do crazy shit right that those never work but I mean they said electric cars would never work maybe we can finally build this tower to heaven like tower of babel

and then that probably wouldn't I would get trapped up on that you know stuff like weird shit like I would say maybe dig a hole I talk about on the on the bonus episode this week about digging holes into the ground into the earth

you know to the center of the earth if I was a lot of Musk I'd be trying to do that shit I mean it would go poorly so I'm just I'm making that point overall point that you know look, it's just

it's getting dangerous out there, but it's also getting fun and enjoy. So it's a summer of sport. It's a summer of, of martial arts and cage fighting. You know, like people are just, it's a summer of ambition. Just, you know, just take care of yourself. Just watch your back. And just, you know, enjoy the World Cup. And don't, don't burn down.

anything and and try and comp digital prisons coming soon comp digital prisons you know where do you want to be imprisoned that's that's one model you know it's one little thing uh you know if forget patreon dot com slash ray comp or i forget to mention you know if you want to watch these episodes on youtube instead of you know through tv maybe or something like that it's a little easier there's also available on you members only youtube so that's another option should have mentioned it up top but didn't but what are you going to do uh like and subscribe comment about you know uh what you what you what you want to a digital prison you know my prison you know what your where your company can be what market you know what what what market segment you can corner in the future um

anything like that nix talk with the nix and you treat my comments like ready i don't care just whatever, just comment anything. Hey, you know, I think I'm thinking about maybe buying a new, what do you even buy anymore? Air conditioner. I bought a terrible air conditioner. I, like I screwed myself over. I should have bought a more powerful one, and now I can't return it.

Thanks so much for tuning in, and we'll talk to you all very soon. Have a great week.
