Wayfair, every style, every home. The United States military is running out of ammo. And I don't really understand how that happens. I understand that we've become a nation of fat chicken hawks who filter their chronic dehydration into an indiscriminate rage, pointed at anything that reminds them that their children hate them. How do we run out of ammo? I understand that we have just the dumbest kids in the world,

screen-addicted, whining nepo babies, and unsocialized, barely-literate dilettons, whose lack of potential is only outshined by their lack of curiosity. How do we run out of ammo? I understand that we're a nation of street dogs and financial thieves, who are in direct competition with the president in stealing what's left of the fiscal future of this country from what's left of ordinary Americans

and dump in whatever they can't snort or hump into high stakes legalized gambling. But how do we run out of ammo? The entire identity of this country is based on two things, shooting anything that moves and then telling those corpses that we were actually the good guys. And honestly, that system,

worked pretty well. Sure, we spent a trillion dollars every year in the military, so we couldn't afford a functional health care system, or basic infrastructure, or civic governance that wasn't bought and sold by data miners and flesh purveyors. But it still sort of worked. I guess a trillion a year ain't what it used to be. I guess we're no longer any good at the one thing we were good at. No one likes the guy whose dick stops working halfway through a wine and cheese party.

If we can't figure out soon how to fulfill the social contract by producing more weapons of death, then you're going to pray that AI takes your non-existent job and sets you on fire in a swimming pool.

Now we are facing a weapons shortage, and there's no shortage of debate either.

While the highest ranking military leader in this country says we're running out of missiles, President Trump denies reports that the U.S. is suffering a munitions shortage, even vowing in a social media post to seek long-term jail sentences for those suspected of information. Well, how about we people who are leaking the weapons? Who's leaking the missiles? I mean, I'm all for throwing people in jail for questioning the government. I'm all for, you know, anyone who leaks, you know, any kind of, you know, you're going to say Snowden, you know, throw Snowden in the brick. I'm all for it. Be a, be a tyrant, but maybe in the process, can we defend ourselves? You know, it's all, it's one thing to, you know, to leak that, you

How about we get those people later, the people who dare to question why we don't have any missiles, and we focus on the people who are stealing the missiles, apparently. Is that guy on the table? It seems like, you know, are we just firing that many damn missiles at the Ukraine? Where are we firing them at? Iran? Why is Iran? I mean, we were supposed to have so many missiles that we could, you know, the world would just be a,

A pile of ash. This wasn't, we're not just a nuclear power. This thing, no one's using nuclear weapons ever. I don't get why. I don't know why that's somehow still sacred. I'm glad it is. Don't get me wrong. But it doesn't, that's coming.

And I'm not based, there's no, like, what's the red line going to be? We'll find it. You know, one way or another, we'll find it. Does it seem like we're going to, that's going to hold forever? No, no one uses nuclear weapons. It's going to happen. But in the meantime, you know, we haven't used them for decades

ever since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we've managed to do a lot of war and kill a lot of people. Not win a lot of, not win the wars. I'm not saying we've won these wars of, but that wasn't really the point. You know, it's like you get mired in these details. Like, oh, Vietnam, was it really meant to

stop the domino theory of communism spreading? No, probably not. Was it really about you know some kind of geopolitical power structure in Southeast Asia probably not know

I mean was it about you know the world powers making money you know powers I don't mean you know America or England or being in France I'm talking about the people who make missiles make big guns who are these people

who makes the missiles right the end that's a big one right There's all sorts of other, there's all sorts of little companies, right? That's what the Pentagon is for. We made the Pentagon, but it's all purpose of like, no, we need, like, we need to basically purvey all this material, the material of war. The whole gimmick of our modern military industrial complex is geared around, no, we're going to have a bunch of industries and we're going to make a lot of money. And, you know, I mean, they're, you know, people are going to make a lot of money. It's going to be a lot of money to be made and selling these weapons.

There's no one's doing this at patriotism. Does every country run like this? I'm all for capitalism. But is every country, like, I mean, I know the Pentagon is supposed to have, like, you know, a mechanism where they compete, you know, when we get the best price. But does that really happen? You know, there's a lot of greasing going on. We all know, this is all very established.

This is the swamp we were all told. about but the one thing they did was make the missiles they made the goddamn missiles they made the guns you know why blow it up if you if we run out of missiles if i'm a if i'm a greasy scummy you know defense contracting pentagon you know pentagon attending a piece of garbage merchant of debt if yeah and i put myself in their in their alligator shoes and they say hey like you know what's better if we you know maybe maybe we run out of missiles and then you know uh we can be scarcer and then we'll raise the price on these government guys they go hey moron moron shut your mouth that's stupid you know why the minute they run out of missiles they won't be able

to keep going to war the war will have to end don't you understand that they probably realized that like two days in well if we have what supplying the man right we control the flow no dummy it's always got a flow. It's always got to rain brimstone and bullets and missiles and, you know, uh, we'll look at the exact units that are being, um, looked at these are, uh, paying up, this is defense firms to build weapons. All right. So we'll get this, but the point is, it's always got to flow. It's always got to keep going. Otherwise, we might get used to like, not killing people for a while. You might, forget. get that you're that like oh our job is to like bomb schools as a bomb hospitals and you know and drop a

two thousand pound pound bomb last week on like a three on a house like a regular Iranian like my like the house I grew up in probably next to my house but whatever I'm not prime property just saying like you know you know a regular ass house I don't think you need to do that I don't think you need to drop 2,000 pound bombs. I don't think you need to drop anything on our house. That's not really war, is it? That doesn't seem like war. But no one questions, you know,

that didn't make a big fight. I hear much more about the fact we ran out of missiles than the fact that we're using these missiles on houses or schools. There seems to be much more outrage as the fact that we don't have the things to kill people than the fact that we're killing people,

which is how this country's always worked. And you would think, don't you want it doesn't seem better now that we are running out well not no no we're not we're going to put people in jail for benches are running out here's the thing you can live in a dictatorship right you can live in a totalitarian state and we're not quite there yet we're like not for lack of trying you know but you know we're going to arrest the people who leaked this and was it true or not I mean you know why

you say leak arrest people who said it it was ahead of the pentagon i think it was ahead of uh president i mean how do you arrest people pentagon presses defense firms to build weapons as iran war to plate stocks directive to industry from deputy's defense secretary c fainberg comes and made tension over a critical u.s munitions shortage the pentagon is asking the u.s defense industry to rapidly escalate the production and delivery of weapons including munitions They're an extreme shortage of the war where they ran. We're supposed to be able to fight like two wars at once. And I'm not saying that we haven't been killing a lot of people.

I don't know. Or that we've done bombing a lot. But I mean, this is not, I mean, when they say two wars, I mean two, this is two fronts. Now, maybe it's not like military doctrine per se. I can't quote you wearing the Pentagon handbook. It says that. But there's always what was hammered into us growing up.

Is that, you know, you can have a friggin, uh, two fronts. you can fight two two wars or ones you know you're Japan and Europe we didn't we do both at once sort of kind of whatever we built it up Um that's like we didn't have him on hand for that we still won that pretty well why we have to always have him standing around When does it help us that much? Well we don't know what happened if we didn't have them well we know what happened we did we bombed a bunch of people You see when you have the weapons you use them except now this is my point It's not like, oh, all of a sudden we have equality. It's like, you know, we can't fight.

It's like a racist, we're like an ethnic cleansing. We can't figure out where the people are. And like, well, you shouldn't be doing it first. But I agree. But it's also like inept. It seems inept. But that would at least be good. This is not good because now we're in the middle of a, we might get conquered by Iran.

Hey, y'all's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if, like, what if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days off. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.ca. Wayfair, every style, every home.

See that happening? It seems crazy, right? But, you know, I've never really thought we were to run out of missiles. Feinberg Road to the Street, leaders, excuse me, on Wednesday saying he had no more than 20, they had no more than 21 days to submit plans to drive significantly faster, or more aggressive delivery schedules,

and or increased production for critical capabilities. according to the memo, which is previously unreported. Years long development cycles are not acceptable. We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now. It sounds like you guys are bad using these things. I don't know. I mean, drones are a new thing. Is that part of it?

You know, maybe just say, you should come out and say this. Hey, look, we didn't anticipate the whole drone thing. And it's really changed. You know, look. We're going to throw people in jail. But the other thing, I got drones. These drones, very nasty. They shoot.

Soldiers, we got bomb. We got to shoot missiles and drones. Some of them they missed. Very fast. Very fast. Ukraine, they have these things that fight the drones. They might give them to us. They might not.

I don't know why we, I don't know what I wouldn't. They probably have by now. A few months ago, they were saying Ukraine was like, well, we might help us out. They might help us out? What is going on in this shit? Why does it even, it all seems very fitchy to me. I feel like we're selling missiles to someone. Directive comes as a weapon shortage,

has been a source of tension between Trump and the Defense Department. Two people familiar with the issue recently told the Washington Post is also the latest in a series of actions the Pentagon and the White House of taking to address an issue that may largely remain unsolved. The gridlock Congress releases digital. We've always had gridlock.

We've always had weapons. I don't know what I mean where did the trillion dollars not get spent tell me that is that what's going where's the money I mean if that's the case like it's like it's like when you it's kind of like those time I I haven't done a ton of this I'm not the kind of guy who like um does a lot of pre-orders of cool collectibles I had a period of time where like you know Batman figures um but I was never good at being like you know oh it's like let me tie up some money and a few hundred bucks because i never bought the expensive shit either but i've seen people do this right you you you get a i i want this statue it was like 500 bucks people spend crazy money in collectibles and shit some video game character

they like a final fantasy whatever a Pokemon a digimon is a statue of it a thousand dollar whatever they spent and they tie this money up um whether the I guess, right? Or something. Or some places don't build, whatever, but I've had money tied up in Gundam. When in the background,

building Gundams, the Japanese robots. And when you find out, like, hey, this is not, we don't have, it's not happening.

You know, this fucking Gundam or this Pikachu that you thought you were going to get is no longer, you know, we're not making it. We can't get the parts,

global, you know, shortages, whatever. And you go, oh, well, this money's sort of freed up now.

I had set aside this money mentally, at least, for this. And now I could spend it on, you know, uh, drugs or, you know, or, uh, a paintball or a fix your, buy a new fucking washing machine, anything. My point is, it's an economy, right? So what have, what are we doing with this money? Did the money go back to the tax? Of course, they didn't go back to the taxpayers. It's a lot of it's fake money anyway.

who spent the people keep the money if we're not getting the missiles and if we're not then what are we complaining about you know what I mean if we have all the missiles we were supposed to have then this wouldn't be an issue or the issue would be like why while all of a sudden can we not like you know are we what are we even shooting at now I know we like shoot at planes and we bomb are we just carpet bombing things

like we're the impression that we did some strikes they're bombing too much. They're shooting too many goddamn missiles. There's probably the drones. This is a little... This guy... Is he the one with the weapons? Which weapons we're going to talk about?

So let's just cut through the politics here for a minute, Dan. Which missile systems should Americans actually be paying attention to right now when we talk about stockpile concerns? Well, here's the... I'll tell you right now what we should be concerned... pay attention none of it you don't want the american people paying attention to the stockpiles of missiles that's the last thing anyone in power should want you know how how many dad missiles do we have you want me you want me thinking about that is that what anyone wants or you

like you know oh like you know i don't know if i uh like you want you know for a or fucking or what's his name stupid uh the stupid vice press Vincent, Vince. Well, I know. I mean, it depends on the, I mean, I got, I got to figure out how many missiles we have first. I mean, like, my point is like, they, they have a kind of a, whatever we call this thing that is this fake democracy shit.

It's built around like, we, the game they're playing of like, you know, whatever this politics is. What if you want to get, like, it's all, it's, it's based on a certain criteria of shit that gets debated usually. And I love is ego, you know, you look through your vibes a big vibe check basically no one who's kind of organized the modern political machine the forces behind the curtain uh ever designed this current incarnation as like you know well the people have to do that firm accounting of the miss of the things we've

bought especially the weapons you crazy that's like this is the last thing that anyone like this is a nightmare just make more if you're a it's kind of thing when you're the president I don't care how much of a peace nick you are when you get in and go hey so you know you talk a lot about ending war and uh you know and being nice to fucking countries

don't don't have money and stuff and not trying to intimidate them yeah I talk a lot of shit but you know if you're if you're about I see where you're going with this keep making the missiles you can always you can always not shoot a missile that's the thing stockpile those motherfuffer fuckers. Just keep them running.

There's no point not making them anymore. But we're good. You know, it's like when we save a lot of money, we wouldn't know what to do with the money. You know what would happen? If we, if we actually stop making these missiles, I'll tell you, they probably do another thing

where they like try to drive, you know, tax abatements or tax cuts into like some asset class, like they did with the mortgages, fund some program that ends up creating a massive bubble, destroy the economy again. That's what they do.

It's not like we'd build bridges Or build you know Fix roads Or keep cities from falling apart Why are all our cities rotting away We talk about this to someone On the Patreon last night I talked about

It was a scenario Actually military related also Where I discussed how I would create a new branch of the military Which is half civil engineering But also we go to war and I would make my own boot camp how would mold these soldiers and so whatever Patreon.com slash Raycomp

if you're a very interesting episode check that out you know just plug there both sides of the equation the offensive missile systems so as Louis said the attack comes in the prism but then also our defensive systems the THAA the PAC 3

and the standard missile series I mean this is what you want ABC News you don't you want people debating abortion that's what you want and barely that you know you want people I mean back when that was a thing that would never change right and yeah I'm not getting political here I'm not getting political here but it's like no but they like debating stuff that like you know that was an interesting development but they love debating you know whatever like fucking they don't mean debate now things just so captured it feels like just barely debate anymore they used to be like on you have crossfire and you have like whatever and the right and left uh cronies you know Bob Novak and you know and the other guy

and Tucker Carlson was on there back in their debate and whatever and that was like they don't think the people there is debate but it's like bullshit debate it's like a bunch of people who agree it's like it's a lot of just like you know it's a lot of drama uh and back then it wasn't real is my point but like that this this guy's gonna be like well the dad missiles and the fucking like what let's go what do you say again in the standard pack three

pack three missile series that we have to defensive systems, the THAA, the PAC 3, and the standard missiles. This is the fucking nightmare. You don't, we can't function like this. We're not smart enough to like keep track of missile systems, the people.

I'm not smart enough. I must like we function well when it's like, you know, I like freedom. Don't don't have drag queen story hour. Don't put women into fucking the UFC. Um,

you know, what's the level, don't, don't, don't fucking misgender me. Shit like that. We can't, we know,

oh, like the pronoun. I mean, my pronouns. Now you have to go to prison. That's the speed, the level that we have, right?

Like, whether it's a culture war shit. We can't, we're not like a kind of, we're not German. We can't like have the, the working class people. Like,

I don't know what we're supposed to do with this info. Oh, we're out of thad missiles okay make more i guess we like no one's questioned a war i mean no the question the war no one's questioned war i mean like the existence no one's ever been like we'll stop making this shit right i guess we'll spend i mean did they cut like when biden gets in does he cut it i think i think i did look at roba cut it i think he would cut like a hundred some bullshit number.

It's still like just, it's still just mocks everything else in the budget. And even that, I don't even sure they did cut it that much. Maybe, you know, we can get it in any gritty. But the point is like,

no one's really saying, hey, like, you know, because, oh, he did come in. It's still like fucking twice.

It's still two times whatever the combined amount that everyone else spends or some crazy, you know, everyone else and every other country. It's insane. Like China spends $200 billion billion a year. 300 billion maybe nothing so why can we make what what are you what are you out of are you out of metal

is this because of the fucking AI are we right are we not able to make bullets now it was one thing when you couldn't get a PS5 because everyone need these fucking vintvita cards back then it was a little bit of crypto and AI that was all AI and now you can't get ram can't get an SSD hard drive whatever you want to call a storage device you know you want to make a game in your rig now good luck you know you fucking is did you did your dad fucking work for uh gulbin sacks and maybe maybe maybe you can maybe you can play vampire hunters on your pc otherwise you're screwed and the p you know they're gonna make a fucking apparently next giant console ps six and xbox whatever which are i don't know what a few years away we

I barely have any games with a PS5. I know it's like a meme or whatever. Or it's like, you know, but like it's like, it's like ongoing meme if you're not familiar that people online when someone like, they mentioned an Xbox and one of the PS5, you know,

what didn't they mention like the games? I mean, it's not like I play games all the time, but there's just really aren't that many games out. Gaming's kind of done. I mean, I've been playing StarCraft, which came at in 1998, I think. I got back into that. the most fun I've had in years.

I might start streaming Starcraft. I'm not good at it, but it's a lot of fun. It has a lot to do with like this war shit. And you know what you're doing Starcraft? You keep making the missiles. You keep making the weapons. You don't just stop. If you go attack and you start production,

you're done. You have to like, I mean, these Korean kids back in the 90s and early 2000s were amazing. I never know their search ever was of good. Korea is a bleak place now, apparently. I watch a video about it. They're not doing well.

people I feel for them it's like America but a little worse like they're also a slight further than the timeline but same kind of shit I feel like but they're just more but they're just more all competitive intellectually but we're just kind of a lot mean we have those people and then a lot of us are allowed to just be dumb the only between us in Korea as far as this problem these problems or that we're some of us are allowed to just be dumb the point is but they did they they had key the whole thing is you you you hotkey your base and you have multiple you know, hatcheries of your Zerg, and this is not crazy, but as crazy as knowing the sad missile,

I'm just bear with me, you'll see the point. And like, I'm getting better than ever was back then, because, oh, so you hit four, and S, H, making it makes the units. And as you're attacking, you go, uh, uh, uh, you move with your left hand, you just fucking type these mac, your fucking docky's in, and you're making more units, you can send more in to the fucking churn. You see, it's a churn you make, a churn. And you can't have a churn is your, is you're run out of fucking missiles. They don't know what they're doing. They don't understand.

Trump's not good at this. He's good at like, you know, talking. He's good at, like, kidnapping people, but, like, he, you need, like, and Vance is just this weird, like, you know, I don't know what. I don't know what Peter Thiel hired him for,

but, like, you should have had, Trump should have, like, a point-dexter guy. Trump should have, like, a nerd. That he just, like, has, you know, the calendar or something that follows him around and just like keeps track of the numbers, you know? Just a real, just a fucking wacky that's just fucking like, you know, like, let's him run loose, just going to shoot his mouth off.

Hey, yeah, yeah, we're going to arrest the Pope. The Pope is a bad guy, wants peace, no good. That's what he's good at. He's not good at like, you know, this shouldn't have been left to him. That's, you know, that's a problem. You know, that's a problem being the president Our current system And it's gonna be a problem going forward

You have a guy like Trump You have a guy who's like all all Orra right And like you know a crook A vibe I don't like I say it legally Right But like the vibe of a crime

I mean you know the vibe He's the vibe of a guy Who's this pilfering the economy I'm not crook That was Nixon let's look at this is a good nixon uh my point is like you know these are the kind of guys we're gonna thrive the guys who shoot from the hip and shoot from the dick and just fucking toggle out of shit and uh they're not good guys per se people like them though i don't know

what to tell you if you thought like if you're just realizing now that like the good guys you know don't win and the bad guys tend to win yeah that's just that's that's that's that's That's a lot of existence. So it's just, and so no trying to get, oh, your fucking support. No one says anything. No one knows who I am. I'm talking, don't talk shit, don't fucking, go ahead, question me. Go online, go on Reddit and say, Crumbs crazy, talk about Trump.

Bring me up. Comment about how, you know, I got Trump wrong, blah, blah, blah, yeah, call me out, call me fat. Say I'm a dumb, but the point is, you know, we can't, we need to have a separate office that there's like a little bit more because you have a guy like Trump and then you try to arrest him to be fair you try to arrest him a lot or impeach him

they went too far in between right they made it so he had to have a lot of yes men around the first go around you were to thought those guys were yes men and not particularly qualified well strap in for this one right so you have the people

he's just putting his own personal lawyer as the attorney general he needs he can't worry about someone you know is someone qualified I got like I'm gonna put it as you know his job like you know an nominee cabinet of people who are gonna run these things and like minutia and like keep track of the missiles and the guns and all that shit you know you would think but then somehow that the the wires got crossed and he just put people in who will not not allow him to

get arrested later on like all that shit was like in like in the what was his name Bob bar his attorney general back in 2020, you know, during January 6th or whatever, he was like, well, I'm not doing whatever Trump wanted to do. He was like, I'm not doing that. And Bob Barr was not some fucking, like, noble prince. Bob Barrow, you know, went along with all the, all the, what you were, people who don't like Trump were saying the worst should Trump try to do. I guess some of you like this stuff.

I don't know. There's other problem. Point is that guy like, you know, at the end of the day, he's like, well, I'd something, even if it's just this, even if it's just, well, look, I'm not like a good guy, Mr. President. I'm not trying to pretend to be like a great person, a great man. But like, this is the kind of shit that will bite me in the end. And I'm just not going to do it.

I'm not going down for you. I got my own shit to worry about. And what you got now is people who don't even have that. They're too much of, like, just incompetent sycophants to even have self-interest. They're completely just at the mercy. of a madman and so I'm sorry that they did you know we shouldn't have expected them to like not sell all the fucking bullets in the in the in the bullet rooms of the Pentagon or whatever we call this thing where you call the barns military people out there

what do you call the the the military the the the the ammo sheds you know his amosheds apparently they have to be built I was watching some video I'm related to this. It was something like, oh, why don't they make a new, like a new M16, right? A newer version. And one thing was like, well, everything's outfitted for it.

Everything, you know, I can use the M4 now, which is what used to be the M16, like this is a version of that. As this, this connects, it relates to this. And you go, well, you know, one, this guy was,

if I remember the video, I would tell you the link, whatever. But the point is, we all this fucking, uh, infrastructure, like gun racks, all,

over the country every military base thousands of gun racks thousands of boxes thousands of things thousands of fucking parts for m4s every gun range is calibrated for it every storage every every every ammo shed is rated it has to be i think i think it's four times if every gun piece of ammo and out of shed blew up all at once which is crazy but still is legally put in the thing it's codified all blew up at once would it contain the blast so if you're you start building a bigger ammo you know going to be going to take the higher ordinance that he's replace all those shit right these are the kind that's a skewery and just hundreds of millions of bullets everywhere I'm trying to invade you that's

interesting in the video but this does not relate directly but I'm trying to convey the amount the scale of shit that cronies and miscreans and just just just people who have no business and public service or governance at all you know they should be in I dare say some of them should be in prison you know this is the kind of detail you're expecting those people to fucking like care like you know when they get the job when they come into their office at 11 a m snort sniffing have a sniffles they have a sniffles probably who I don't know who these nameless cadre of people are I'm just saying these beer these these fucking political bureaucrats the bureauers of people who exist

the political appointees, right? The bureaucrats are guys who exist already. That's, you have a problem there. You know, government services, like people who do government jobs, military jobs, I'm sure, you know, it's not like everyone's just super, when we had a relatively qualified cabinet,

and I don't mean good. I don't mean they cared about the American people. I mean, he's qualified. Like, Rumsfeld was like, well, his whole thing about light infantry and invading Iraq, yeah, you know, very, very, very, not like it didn't work out well but like he didn't run out bullets you know and that war

ran off like 20 years and we blew up all we blew up that country five times over and we never ran out of shit because like those guys are like that he worked with IBM right he was like the CEO of IBM or some horse shit we worked on the mat he went on the maximum error those guys used to be point dexter's used to be like fucking engineers and I'm not saying that they weren't evil on reptilians and like but like I'm just saying that Now we're just, it's kind of like a bad max, but then like, you, but just it's like it's when, it's like when you're fucking tyrant is drunk, the street level tyrant. It's game and you think it's more fun. Maybe it is more fun.

We're talking about running out of missiles. Maybe that is more fun. Maybe I shouldn't complain. Maybe this is what we, this is, this is the nature of opportunity. Maybe the answer to thing. Why aren't you making missiles out there? you bitch and whine about the fuck you know the uh what do you call it the uh the uh the bitch and wine about jobs not existing

you bitch and whine about i'm vamping slightly here but this is the story because this is the story i wanted to touch around it was related to this the s&p you know fucking some of these sites s&p god damn it come on kea we make things just for college life like the rosanman blackout curtains in gray. They say you can't put a price on sleep, but we did for the low, low price of $49.99. Why are you in my room? Shh, go back to sleep.

You have a big exam tomorrow. Shop back to school at IKEA. S&P closes at record high as soft jobs report eases corporate rate high concerns. Our economy is based, we have an economy that like, you know, the functional aspect of it, besides, you know, that we spend a trillion dollars on bullets that we don't have, apparently, is that one of the fundamental principles is that the better the jobs report, you know, the better, the less jobs exist. The worse it is for the American worker, the happier people on Wall Street are. well you're making it simplified that's not a direct thing but it is right like it happens enough i remember i'm not like an investor and i'm always read like this level of financial news

really like the stocks and shit you pay attention to the economy but you'd be surprised how little how like you know if you're not like actively looking at stocks and you are kind of aware of the economy news you know when you get back in there sometimes you know what you forget And you know, I don't have stocks. But we have stocks, you're looking, right? And you go, oh, and you forget how reflective, anything good for an American worker makes stocks go down, right? Makes the S&P go down.

And so they don't, my point is they don't question it. They know. It's not like, you know, it's not directly that. It was the fact that, you know, the rates will go up. There'll be inflation. What is the art? I mean, I forget the art, but we'll see. The point will probably explain. I feel like, you know, US stocks advanced on Friday would get to be closing a record high

to cap over a strong week of gains for the major indexes. After data showed the US economy unexpectedly shed jobs last month and dampened expectations of Federal Reserve would raise interest rates. Yeah, because more people have jobs, the more, the more inflation. Also, the more jobs, the lower, the higher the unemployment, the more you can squeeze people. That's essentially the core of it. I mean, you know, that's basically it.

The more people are fucking desperate for jobs, the more you can stick it to them. That's just how we work. That's just how it is. We accept that. It's just fine. So that's what we're dealing. This is the baseline of shit.

You know, this is like, that's the function. That's like, don't want to question that. I mean, some people do. But I'm saying, this is like, this is not like, oh, what's going wrong here? this is kind of how the system is designed. That's what we're trying to get back to. I mean, we're still doing it.

We haven't been on that level on the, on the, on the military side, I guess. Like, who knows what's going on in there? I know Pete Hegg said, was trying to, like, institute testosterone tests for people. I'm not sure what that's about. Are we, are we, I mean, look, I'm all four people having a proper amount of testosterone.

I don't know if, like, you know, I don't, are we trying to measure people of trains or not? Is that the thing? Or there's so many women, I know he's passed over women. Women are mad about that. And you know, and women shouldn't be in the military. I don't know. It's like most jobs in the military now aren't on the field.

They're missiles. It's like maybe women might be good, some of them at organizing, not running out of the missiles. I don't know. Maybe maybe check that out. Like, I'm not saying they would be. honestly doesn't seem like a stare up their alley they're not into like that into

you need some kind of fucking nerd guy some fucking point dexter fucking you know or the team of accountants a bunch of guys who like to test I don't know what they do they run models what are we blowing up over there what are we doing

are we just fucking like are we just shooting missiles at mountains all day like I feel like we really use this amount of missiles and we had the proper route to begin with they probably like oh i don't never give up people give up eventually i'm not always but i mean like it's a fool it's a i mean they don't they don't seem like a country that feels that threatened right like i'm not saying we haven't bombed a bunch of shit but they seem um i know like there was a guy when we invaded

Iraq, I forget his name, but he was like the minister of truth or whatever the shit or information. And he famously was like, you know, everything's fine. And we repel the invasion. And like there's a literally like a fucking American tank rolling behind them in the background. So you have, you know, but I, my point is you can be cocky and also being conquered at the same time. It does exist.

I don't think, I don't think they see. They don't seem to be getting just pummeled. they seem like they're like you know um they don't want the war we're definitely hitting them enough that they don't want the war but we just have enough missiles to make them really like fucking upset they don't seem upset enough that we've run out of missiles did we give them the ukraine i don't like that if we can't fight if we can't start wars for really no reason

and see him through then why are we helping other countries out so much it's not like a little fight Russia Russia they just want the port let them have the port I guess they had the port they still invaded Ukraine right that's the thing I mean they want Donbos I mean I don't know but people were people fucking fucking with the port

there's never getting to micro level I was Washington again Ukraine about how basically Ukraine um started attacking in Crimea, the port area, or whatever. Started doing more shit there. Making, you know, making,

they can't take Crimea yet or wherever. I don't know. But they're making things a problem. They found holes in the fucking, where the drones can get through. I feel like I've played StarCraft for a few days, and I feel like I'd be good at this shit. They should get stuff.

I mean, we should hire those Korean StarCraft kids. There'll be a learning curve. They'll have to like, you know, I know one of them like join the army, apparently. I've been watching these, like, fucking videos where you just watch, like, famous guys play Starcraft, not even, you know, within reason. And, uh, some of them are older, older matches, I guess.

And they go, this guy was the best in the world, but then he went and joined the army. So that guy must have been, I mean, I wonder if they used him properly. But, like, look, that guy might have wanted to shoot a gun at North Korea, I guess. but you know it is interesting to think like you know there should be an interface where you can just kind of like do

like you know strategy you know these strategy games are like you fucking build the resources up you got to do it quick ask these kids how I mean I don't think it's applicable a lot of what they do has to do with like fucking quick fingers and hot keys and I don't I don't think that applies to making factories

and like you know there should be a better reason for this shit I mean I just want to know what the fucking I mean, this guy wants to. The series that we have to do defensive, because they both play together. Without offensive missiles, we have no way to kind of winnow,

win the number of Iranian missiles that can get launched at us. And so without the ability to attack, now Iran can launch more missiles at us. And without more interceptors, then obviously we have challenges with defending ourselves. So it's this catch-22 challenge that we have right now. Frankly, I'm glad, to hear the president say that

the inventories are tight because the soldiers on the ground, the commander's on the ground, I know that they've seen the stocks go down. They've seen our inventories go down in from yesterday to hear the... See, what is any of this shit?

Like, I want to hear we had a guy, some fucking fat guy. One of these new guys, one of Trump, he was a guy, it was a guy, it wasn't one of Trump's direct guys, there's one of the guys owed that guy hired. I think, you know, I think, you know, this frat buddy or whatever.

And he did a deal. He did a deal we stole some of the missiles of China. He made a lot of money. And we said, we told we can't do it anymore. And what? I mean, arrest them. No, he's a, he's a friend. No, what you're saying?

The guy did that. But that's part of the reason. That's a bunch of it. A bunch of it was one thing. I'm not going to arrest them. Stop asking that. That's, that's what I want to hear. This kind of shit.

You know, like, oh, you know, we threw some of them out. we told uh we we you know one another guy did a tour of one of these bases and he's like this is not what is the old shit looks old and you know because some of our missiles are actually older than you would think you know because this shit looks this shit looks looks like you know like it's made in the 80s maybe it was or 90s you know and he just said fucking throw it out and he did so that's a problem you know that does that seem likely of course not who would do that but these people might do that. Or maybe maybe they use it in the fireworks. Maybe we're secretly bombing China and no one's telling us.

We wouldn't know. Maybe we would. We think we'd know. Is it possible that we're fighting wars that no one that's blacked out? Probably not. Is it possible that they're stopping? Look, these are the people who are building private islands. You know, Trump's kids are building private islands, buying private islands,

building bunkers, locking down. all these rich people are locking down for whatever disruption this is whether it's the a i disruption or the or you know or the disruption you know or the or the or the chaos when the bubble burst and the economy collapses or whatever civil unrest who's to say that they're not just going look we got this a war we got war on iran but while we're doing it we'll put some in the warehouse they can have the missiles them in the warehouse in the middle of the desert then we have them This is a good Trump? I'm getting back.

I'm getting it back. It's like Mel Brooks Trump. Whatever. But they're putting it away. And then they're going to use it, you know, in case, you know, in case we fucking actually, like, imagine if like we did another American revolution. Let's just say. Which I'm not calling for sedition. I'm just saying.

But apparently it's good when they did it. But then after that's sedition. Well, I'm not seditious. But let's just say what happened. And everyone, this is great. We did a, they did a good thing. Everything's better now.

The infrastructure is good. We still, we have a democracy that functions. The people wanted this. Good, good for us. Pat in the back. And then fucking, you see Trump coming out of the desert

with just like a fucking, I mean, an army, like an invading army. Like, oh, you fuckers didn't realize I had this, I planned for this.

The entire, an entire, invading armies worth of fucking shit i mean we're not we're not using that many tanks in ira maybe maybe we'd also be out of tanks too would anyone look at that we might be out of a lot of shit we're not even doing a ground invasion right now that's the thing we're not even doing a fucking ground invasion we don't know we could be out we can be out of like a lot of shit and no one would even know until it's too late i mean if you go well that who would do that well they might do that ask yourself

they seem like they're not like just fucking, you know, scrapping this shit for parts. Seems like that to me. I'm just saying maybe we should check. Maybe these congressmen who spend all their time inside her training should fucking spend, you know, go to a military. Aren't, is that like you're on the oversight committee, some of you people? I don't know who. I don't pay attention. I guess it's my fault too.

I should, I should know how many bad missiles we have. It seems crazy. One of you, I mean, some of you fuckers are just. doing nothing. What could you pilot? What is AOC doing? Half her, I mean, she's, she's got a bug up her ass about this administration. Go count some fucking weapons. Go count some tanks. Count the soldiers while we're at it. Maybe we sold the soldiers off. What is happening? A lot going on. I don't, I mean, look, we're not going to, things are only going to get worse. I mean, you know, this war, especially, this war we're fighting is,

a weakening our position and no shut up I'm telling you why it's not we're gonna lose we have created a situation where people it's gonna behoove people to find alternate currencies for using oil is training in oil and shit right all the systems pipelines are look more a lot more attractive active, right? Like all this shit, the disruption is making the cost benefit analysis of like there's a lot of America run shit. They seem to do a good job. Everyone likes to hold the US dollar. No problem. Easy peasy. No problem. It's not easy peasy anymore. There are problems, right? You're imploring people to find, you know, alternate solutions. The old world of the price of

oil is going to collapse. China. China did that by China. China, China, China. China. China. fucking stopped importing oil they have like they bizarre but they bought massive supply off of fucking China and my Russia what point is like you know it's not it would call these things are real the low the scarcity of when supply goes down it's a problem China's eating the problem for now

which seems like something you know that seems like something you do when you're like when you're actually you're being the fucking strategic thing right I don't think a sucker does so my point is um

buy a lot of fucking just buy a lot of fucking crypto just buy buy a shit coins buy a bunch of fucking I mean I would buy collectibles I would buy baseball cards it's all I mean is that here's the thing I don't understand

I know I know things are looking gnarly out there I don't know what the move is if you if you're holding nivitia should you sell it and if you do, should you buy um you know like Pokemon cards you go well

Pokemon's also a bubble well I don't know is it well about tops baseball cards I feel like those have also gotten big like bigger and by that it means supply everyone's holding these shit as if it's scarce maybe maybe that's what happened maybe

the fucking people who run the Pentagon go hey Can we turn some of these you know things that make missiles into creating Pokemon cards My kid he's like 19 he doesn't go to college, but he's spending all this money on Pokemon cards Instead he's been a lot of money and I'm like oh that sounds interesting and so I'm wondering can we produce poise No, we we what can we make yeah I mean look I know it's not like legal but whatever can they do it and like what's the thing it makes missiles? How would it make up? I don't know can we melt it down and make a fucking printing press I don't know how shit works. I'm just, I'm just a guy who got the job. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe we're making Pokemon cards at scale.

The government is printing Pokemon cards with the, you know, in the fucking factories that used to make missiles. Imagine that. That's where we're at in this country. And you think, you know, but you think that can't happen. You think you're living in some fucking, you live in a dream world if you think that's not happening. It's absolutely happening. All right. you need to get you need to get on board with this shit you get on board with the new situation I'm not hiding it's just people are going

what what you eye that it's just the AC controller I showed I showed it off right before I fucking start the episode I don't know you know I left it on the table I guess which is fine but then I hit it from the camera I really go well why did you hide that what is that you're fucking is that you're vibrating

doing a rat no it's not I don't have a vibrator egg in my ass it's controlled by that that's not what that is it's for the air conditioning because it makes too much noise I suffer here for the art for an hour but I turn it back on when the show's over it's not an egg-shaped vibrator and stop my asshole that's not what I'm gonna remember this for look I mean what going forward what can we do I guess we can invade more kind I mean we need to get fast in making these missiles, right? These companies are all told you need to get faster at this shit. And these companies are probably going like, what the fuck?

What I mean, us get faster. Excuse me. Hey, y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if? Like, what if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if.

Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.com. Wayfair, every style, every home. Like, do you remember how much corporate bomb in Vietnam? I'm Iraq. I mean, I imagine it to be saying these things. I mean, there's no, this doesn't seem, but this also thing, nothing seems to work anymore.

No, you don't go anywhere and you go, things are working well here. No, store. What store do you go to where you're like, oh, people want to help you? Very few, right? And when they do, they're nasty. I walked into a bed, bath, and beyond,

a freestanding one. No, a bath and body works. That's the thing. I used to go to bed bath. I used to go to bed bath to me. No, I used to go to a bad and bodyworks as a kid with my mom, the mall. They have like the creams and the fucking candles and shit, the Sunday candles, Sunday hand cream, whatever.

I didn't buy shit for myself. I think a couple times I went in there and got a gift. But my point is then later on, it was at Bath and Body Works store that had like towels and shit. Right? and like, cups. And I always confused them in my head because I was a kid

I went to the other place. So I went in my neighborhood there was a freestanding bath and body works. And I walked in for a second and I go, oh, right, this is that place

that used to go as a kid in the mall. And like, and this woman came up to me and she's like, they help you? Like, oh, no, sorry. And I'm just looking. And like,

I could tell she seemed kind of like, why would you come in just a brow? And I thought, kind of like, yeah, sorry, I thought this was like,

um, this place I sold towels No, hand cream Very mad at me like hand creams and handles This is a long way to say People you know She could have been much nicer about it I don't know she had a chip on her shoulder

But people have a chip on their shoulder When you go anywhere Your restaurants don't you know The food is as good usually Yeah don't leave me I'm not a doomsayer A lot of times things aren't as tasty I can do with less of it

Whatever but the point is it's not as good and the people are nastier. Across the board, you find the exception, sure, but I mean, that's just the way it is. So why would this be any different? Oh, but the people, people who build missiles for a living love their jobs. And who's doing it anyway?

I mean, those jobs given to like, I mean, that's the thing. Who does these jobs? I don't care, but I mean, well, not that I don't care, but it's a separate issue, but like, are these jobs done by like, you know, like a lot of other things? are the American like citizens doing the job?

Because it's a security issue at a certain point, right? I don't know. I don't know what this is. Like, I think these jobs have to be that's part of the problem. The people are not want. I mean, these jobs are desirable.

I don't think these are kind of jobs that people don't want. It's not like, oh, you, oh, you, if you picked a strawberry, maybe, you know, we could pay, you know, we wouldn't have to allow legal immigrants, but you wouldn't pick a strawberry. All right.

Well, it's like you pay people 10,000 hours. I'm not gonna do for 10,000 an hour. What would you do for, you know, what you do for a reasonable wage? I might not personally, but maybe if I had to. Another Americans have to do things. I don't know where it's idea that we're just, but like, you know, certain points, like, you know,

even if you're like, you know, a junkie on the street, you go 10 cents an hour. That's not, I can't get smacked for that. How much smack I'm gonna get picking strawberries for 10 cents an hour? Doesn't seem profitable. I don't know why it works for anybody. But I don't think that's what this is.

I think these are jobs that are like good paying jobs that like that's part of what they do they use it as like a shit These congressmen they horse trade them the pork barrel because these are good these are jobs you like and then they phone for the congress person They're the jobs in the fucking in their district the whole fucking cycle right Are these people you know are they are they being are they lazy now? What's going on? We have to get the bottom of this because I can't I can't lose another war I got to be honest. My ego is not going to sustain this. I need to know I live in a country that wins.

We don't win, though, right? I mean, do we win Iraq? That's the thing. They say we lose, but it doesn't feel like we lost. Like, you know what I mean? I'm not trying to be cocky about it. It's the thing I feel bad about as a citizen. They go, I don't like that our country just destroys countries that we don't need to destroy.

But like to say, we lost. Well, I don't know. It doesn't seem like it. like you know I mean you look you could argue that your economy lost I mean we do lose in a lot of ways yeah Iraq war was a drain our economy we could have done a lot more with it we lose all the time by not you know but the things that we uh I mean here's the thing if we didn't have the military to spend on would they would they allow us to have help you know universal health care or any or infrastructure or like again these things like these things

that other countries seem to have uh they can afford because they don't have to spend money in the military because we can't handle that because of NATO and that's falling apart obviously but would that you know would we get that if we stopped doing the war shit where we get that I mean maybe they seem to do it there's something over there in Europe and other countries for instance they seem to be able to just do it slightly more professionally like capitalism like it's not good well it's fine And the capitalism is, but it's not good to capitalism. I'm not a communist.

But it's not like, you know, but if you were, you know, it's not like you go, you're still think it's evil. They're still evil to the communist, right? You're still exploiting the wage labor, whatever. But people, you know, the benefits of it. But they fucking, they don't like companies just run quite so wild. They rain it in. And the people allow it to be run in.

I don't know what it is in America that we just have no appetite for raining shit in on any level of the system. It seems like we are we're not going there like I know just fucking regulated slightly. We're knee jerk. We're knee jerk people. So why I don't know why we're not more mad about the missiles. We should be riding in the street. We should be fucking we should I'm going to start a no missile of protests about the missiles. tell everyone you tell you your parents

you know right you're right you're I mean I see most of you adults all of you adults I don't think any kids listen to this call your parents call your parents who haven't heard from you in two years and say call your

and fucking tell them hey scumbag uh Ray comp we're doing a fucking thing I don't know I'm not gonna do I'm not gonna start on a big fucking I want you to do it in my name

I want you know start a fucking big like a I don't know how this works I'd like to be the face of like opposition movement but I don't want to do the work that's the problem it's America no one wants to do the work

it all sounds fun it sounds fun to invade a bunch of countries but you got like you know oh yeah keep fucking building the ammo it's just fucking it's just vibes everyone wants a vibe code

this is vibe coding for the military whatever we've been doing. We've been fighting this war with vibes. And it's not going particularly great. I don't know. Look, at the end of the day, I don't know if it's badders. I think maybe I got worried about making more money.

I'm not like a lot of us to feel that same way. Oh, the war, we have to gun, billas or not have a bullet. We need to fucking come up with a good scam, something to sell. Multi-level marketing or something. You know, you listen to this podcast, if you're still here maybe it's something maybe some cooperative multi-level marketing scam

not a scam but you know it's like maybe that maybe i make chotchkes maybe i buy a bunch of you know i make a little fucking little toy you know he used to love i used to love those little toys you got in the cereal where i got the fucking um what was those chipmunks the rescue rangers or something with a little rats little toy rats that were finding my serial with sword there was some was the rescuers I love that I love to build things like that well toy Choshkis and I make money and you know the guy who made home they're the homies thing well things you fucking you buy for a quarter we need a new corn whatever is it we're however much we want to evaluate we need things you can buy for a coin

in a machine again we need to go analog anyway look we'll see there'll be light before It's always darkest before the dawn. So, you know, just keep your head up. Enjoy the rest of your summer. You know, get in the pool. Fucking enjoy the, enjoy the fucking sun.

See Spider-Man, maybe. I might see Spider-Man this week. I'll let you know how it would go. I mean, I don't think it's not as good as, you know, it's a Spider-Man movie. It's fun. Lucy likes a Spider-Man. He goes there, isn't it?

It's fun. I like Spider-Man. Whatever. It ain't got to be that fucking comedy. complicated I have to incorporate into into secret wars I don't fucking care this fucking easy I would just be a spider

Just be a spider Thank you Have a good night
