So if you're looking for any updates on where I'm at, head to Substack and I'll try and keep you somewhat up to date on what we're doing. All right, let's get on to the tale of the tape. His YouTube channel, Awaken with JP, has over 3 million subscribers. I'm talking about comedian J.P. Sears.

So buckle up. Here we go. Welcome to the Sean Newman podcast. I'm sitting with J.P. Sears. So, sir, thanks for doing this. Oh, absolutely. Thank you for being here with me, inviting me. to your safe space, John.

I appreciate it with strangers wandering by, potentially with ill intentions. But glad to be here with you, brother. Yeah, I appreciate you doing this. I've enjoyed you up on stage. You've been part of a roast. I did not see that coming. You know, you come to a Bitcoin conference

and you're expecting, I don't know, knowledge bomb after knowledge bomb. You would hope. And then you had an absolute roast there. Um, regardless, first time in Alberta or have you been here before? No, I've been here. Excuse me. Uh, I believe like maybe six or seven other times.

Uh, one, excuse me, I'm just going to throw up. It's COVID, but the bird flu is coming and that's one you want to watch out for. Uh, before I was doing comedy, I was teaching like health and nutrition classes, been doing, I had been doing that since about 2007, 2008. And that's what originally would bring me up. to Calgary, specifically Okotok, so a little outside of Calgary. So I've been coming here for a while, but it's been, you know, the, what was it, the weekend before COVID broke out.

That was my last time in Calgary. I was up here doing comedy shows. So now a little over four years later, it's great to be back for the first time. Feels like a redemption for humanity. Well, and you got to do a series of comedy shows before this. What has that been, what it had been like? Like, I don't know. Tell me, because I do, do, phenomenal.

Yeah, the crowds, you know, all the, we did, I did five shows all sold out. The crowds were just happy, excited people. So something that I definitely get in Calgary is the crowds that come out, they're very excited and appreciative that I'm here. And I get that, you know, in many places. I'm very blessed. but it's just seemingly Calgaryans have a special appreciation

that some red-headed American is coming up and sharing time with them. So really, some of the best shows that I've been able to experience in a really long time. You know, I don't want to go right back to your beginning, but, you know, I was talking about a whole bunch of different people here.

And I'd mention it to you yesterday. I think so many of us know you from the middle of the dark days of COVID when the life jacket video came out and I dang near peed myself laughing and I sent it to everyone and everyone sent it to me there was this underground railroad of text

anytime any good thing came out that just made sense you sent it along podcast interviews from you know probably Tucker Carlson or Joe Rogan and then this life jacket video comes around right and it just epitomized exactly where we were and you know like I heard somebody say it yesterday

Nobody knows your name, but they know you're the life jacket guy. I'm like, that's not that far off, right? The people who know, no, your name and everything else. But I was wondering, like, you know, I don't know how far you want to go back. I don't want, you don't have to spend an hour on this by any stretch. But like, who is J.P. Sears? Like, how does this come to be? Yeah, you know, I'll kind of splutter around the timeline a little bit to, you know, give a little bit of a nutshell of that.

So, you know, as a kid, I always had a strong sense of humor. You know, even as a kid, I could realize like, oh, like my humor, it's more alive than most of the other kids. So that's always been natural to me. And also as a kid, I think using humor as a way I would deal with pain and insecurities. So, you know, you get a lot of repetitions of doing humor to the people. around you. It was also a way I brought joy to my life and people's lives around me. But then if you fast forward, when I was 18, I dropped out of college. Highly recommend it, by the way, if you want to have a good life, be successful, control your destiny. But when I

dropped out of college, I didn't know what I wanted to do. But if luckily a few months after I dropped out, there was this guy's work. His name is Paul Check. He's in San Diego area in California. his work is using exercise, nutrition, and ways that just blew my mind. I thought like, cool, exercise is exercise. I'd been working out since I was 11. But the way he would use exercise to get people out of pain or increase sports performance, it really intrigued me. So I got balls to the wall into just passion, studying, that kind of stuff.

And that's what I did for the first 13 years of my adult life. I was working with clients, teaching health classes as well. But then 13 years into that, I just had this funny little idea to make this one comedy video because I had been in the spiritual world, which was great. But also I saw a lot of BS, a lot of ego in the spiritual world. But people weren't calling it out. It was there hiding in plain sight. And I was part of it.

It was my ego too. So I had this idea to do this one little video. I called it How to Be Ultra Spiritual. I made that, released it on October 5th, 2014. And that was my first comedy video. It woke something up inside of me. There was a creative satisfaction. I was also weirdly surprised that video, like, did pretty good.

It got views. And for like a first comedy video, that's very unexpected, but that external validation helped me see kind of this, what I would now call a gift of humor, morm. So since then, I've just been putting one foot in front of the other, not really knowing where I'm going, but doing my best to follow my heart and the creative inspiration. And then lastly, it kind of like the career trajectory, COVID also changed my career. It changed the kind of content I was doing. You know, I was still calling out like egotistical nature and different human interactions,

but now it took on a different form starting with COVID. It was, you know, the egotistical nature of the lies, hypocrisy, and corruption of the tyrants, the news, because I wanted to use a sort of satire to help slice through that psychological scar tissue so that the light of truth of people's, own thinking could better shine through to their own awareness. So with COVID, I took a stand for freedom. And unfortunately, that stand is still needed. I think we're doing amazing things. The freedom movement, you know, so many people are waking up, but it's still needed. So that's

my, that's still the center of gravity of my work, standing for the principle of freedom and using humor to call out lies, hypocrisy, and corruption that attempt to get in the way of that? Well, the one thing about humor is it, there's, I heard a quote from a hockey coach here in Alberta a while back, and it says, you know, there's certain things that bring people together. And he had talked about church, I believe he said music, and at that time, hockey, you know, sport. And it was the two Alberta NHL teams were playing each other. And I really agreed with them. And one of the things when we started exploring that conversation,

what brings people together? Humor was one of the things that we added to that list, if you would, from sitting here. I was just like, well, humor, you know, you sit, certain people can't laugh at anything. But a whole lot of us can laugh at a lot. And one of the things that you did just, like, masterfully, is, you know, I come back to the Lifejack video. You know, you just look at that, and I don't care where you stood on COVID. You watch that, and you're like, that just makes sense. Like, I mean, it's so simple on how it makes sense.

And the power of comedy is something at times, it feels like they want to destroy it. You'd probably say they, I'd actually don't know what you'd say. Maybe you don't feel that. To me, it looks like they try and destroy it at times. But it finds a way to percolate out of the system because, like, it's so important to society as a whole. You know, like, the emperor has no clothes. We can either make fun of that, or, you know, Just let them stand their, you know, butt naked, you know?

Like, I mean, in Toronto at the gay pride parade, again, they literally just had grown men walk around buck naked. And you're like, how is this possible? And it's comedians do a really good job of pointing out blind spots in society. Yeah, I see it that way as well. And, you know, the case in point that we need to laugh, we're born with a sense of humor. as you mentioned some people don't use it but we all have a sense of humor just like we have a sense of

smell taste hearing feel humor it really is a sense it's part of how we navigate life it's not only a way that we get to experience joy but it's a way that we get to transform our psychological state you know in an archetypal sense there's the court jester and the court jester's job was to make fun of the king specifically make fun of the king, his egotistical nature, and a true king keeps that co-gester around. True king can laugh at himself because when he's laughing at himself, he's seen his blind spots, seeing the things he wasn't aware of. And to make someone laugh, you have to like present something they weren't aware of. That's like a punchline and a joke is

the misdirection of a magician, like, cool, now I'm showing you something, getting you to think of something you didn't expect. So a true king wants to laugh at himself. So we need the court jesters. A tyrannical king cuts the court jester's head off. And I mean, this tyrannical king certainly would love to cut all the court jester's heads off, wouldn't they? Yeah. And we're living in a time where there's a lot of tyrants. No, no business being a king, but they're in that position. They're in the office. They're in a whatever position is that they, get to pretend that they're a king. So those tyrants want to silent the court jesters,

and that's killing comedy. One of the ways they've tried to do that is political correctness, cancel culture, it's kind of like a pesticide sprayed on the comedians. Luckily, I mean, I think especially in the past year, even like what I would call normal comedians who aren't necessarily trying to stand for freedom, they're just out there.

They're speaking freely. Streisand effect. Like, as hard as they try and push it down and get rid of it, it's starting to ricochet back the other way in unintended consequences. Like, you watch it and you watch comedy. Like here, hometown, hometown, home province of Saskatchewan, right? We just booted out Rob Schneider. Because Rob Schneider got hired to perform at a health gala.

And if you knew nothing more than that, anyone sitting there going, is, well, they got a death wish. Like, why would they hire Rob Schneider to come into a health gala to talk to people surrounding hospitals, nurses, doctors? That's who's going to be in that. A health foundation is somebody who represents, for the most part, and I'll get this a little bit wrong, but has the best interest of the hospital and health care.

That's who's going to be there, supporting it. And they brought in Rob Schneider. And you're like, either you want to, laugh at yourself or you have somebody in there who thinks you should be able to laugh at yourself. And what happens is they shut down his routine part way through and out he goes. Oh, in the middle of it? Yes. In Saskatchewan's a capital city.

Wow. Like this is two weeks ago. Wow. And so you go, we're not over the hub yet, folks. You hear that. But at the same time, I feel like if anything, what it did is drew more people to Rob Schneider. Yeah. What the heck did he say that was so wrong?

Because he isn't going out and saying something, you know, I don't know that can be construed as like this awful hate speech. Yeah. He probably poked fun at COVID. That's probably what happened. I would imagine. I mean, I've seen some of Rob Schneider's stand-up clips online, his tweets, and he can tell like he no longer buys into the tyranny of COVID, the lies.

And yeah, the fact that they brought him in, I don't know what they were expecting. But that is like a micro example of in that moment, they cut the court jester's head off. Now luckily, Rob Schneider doesn't need that platform. Correct. But it just shows you at that health gala, like they were functioning from tyranny.

We need to cut the court jester's head off because he's saying things that we don't want to be true or we don't want to acknowledge the truth of. So you cut the truth teller's head off, which was the court jester. Wow. Yeah, oh yeah. Wild.

little old Saskatch. He should have been at this conference where you can not only say anything, but you're encouraged to say more like radical rude stuff, which I love. It's just freedom of speech. Well, before I get to one of the things that you said earlier today that I want to talk to, I do want to give a shout out to Dave Bradley. Yeah. Because I, you know, at times, and I'm sure you have your own thoughts on your journey

on how you get to certain places, but certainly on coming to this particular spot, you know, at times, well, maybe I'll ask it this way. Do you ever just have times where you're like, how the hell am I sitting here? Yeah. And that's a shout out to Dave Bradley, because that's why I'm sitting here. He's the guy who says, you should really come. Now, in fairness, I brought Dave Bradley to Lloyd Minster, where I'm from, to sit on stage and speak about Bitcoin alongside gold and silver alongside a military man who said, screw both of those, get led. And so you can imagine the conversation there. So I understand it was by partially my own doing that I'm sitting here.

But still, I sit here at times. And I wouldn't be sitting across from me if it wasn't for Dave Bradley. So that first and foremost, I should give a shout out to him for bringing me here. And saying all that, I still at times go, how the heck am I sitting here? Have you had times in your life? That where you're like, I don't know what the heck I'm doing here. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if I think about it every day, and I don't always.

think about it so the thought's not always there but yeah you know i'll like getting to be on stage in a room full of people like at this conference it's like why wow i'm on stage and i guarantee i'm not the smartest one in the room i'm probably not even the funniest one in the room i'm just a guy who voluntarily says stuff or i'll you know be sitting with tucker carlson or tony robins or rfk junior and it's a weird dream that I'm living in where I do get to like, why mean? Why am I sitting here? And I appreciate it.

I'll keep energizing it. But yeah, man, it's a weird blessing to be able to get to sit in places. Well, I can offer my thoughts on that. And I'm sure you've had plenty of time to acknowledge what you've done. But sometimes standing up to the mass, is not an easy thing to do. And you've been one guy, and you don't have to share too much,

you don't have to share anything at all. When I look at it, I go, I always look at the Life Jacket video, and I'm sure there's other videos. And I'm sure, you know, the feedback on that had to have been extremely positive, but I'm sure there was things that happened that were not, you know, because any time you stand up to the mass,

even with humor, I assume there's a little bit of repercussion or some blowback. And yet, by speaking truthful things and pointing out the obvious it lands you in a dreamlike state

because so a few of us are willing to I don't know if we think it's jump off that got to love Bitcoin that's Kyle Coza I thought it was Kyle written house

fair enough the lovely thing about being here folks is we're literally out in the open, so this is what happens. But I guess I look at it and I go, like, by putting yourself out there, it's a very vulnerable spot, but you're rewarded for it. Because very few people, and I don't mean very few is it, because I got an audience that is very awake, very active in their communities, very pushing and pushing and pushing.

They're wonderful human beings. I just mean as a whole population that, There's very few J.P. Sears is all I'm getting at. And I don't mean that is there's none. Just in the millions of people, there's very few who stand up to the mob and say, like, let me second, this doesn't make any sense. Actually, like, honestly, you know, and then you pull out the Lifejacket video. And that lands you, that type of greatness in a different sense.

It's not Tom Brady greatness. But in the middle of COVID, I would argue it rivaled the best Tom Brady performance ever in a Super Bowl. Right? Like, we needed that. And that's what lands you in those circles. Yeah, in a way I wish it didn't because if it didn't, our world would be in a better place. And by the way, I think we're awakening. I think we're going towards a better place.

But the fact that, you know, the Sean Newman, the J.P. Sears, where we have the ounce of courage. It doesn't even take much, but the ounce of courage to say what we think, tell the truth to the best of our ability, that that puts you in rarefied air. that in a way that's sad because like everybody should say what they think um and we're getting there more and more people are speaking up because like i i have friends who are you know special forces in the military they've laid down their lives they've had their best friends die next to them they've made amazing sacrifices i look at them i'm like holy lord that is the epitome of courage that I can imagine, the courage to like say what we think. Yeah, it doesn't take none, but it doesn't take a lot. There's just that membrane of action that, you know, we have to

pierce the membrane of hesitation with action and we do that. And once in a while, someone will come up to me and, you know, thank me for my work and, you know, say, gosh, JP, I love what you do. And, man, it's really dangerous to say what you think. So thank you. So thank you. you for doing that and I appreciate that but I also look at it and say no it's more dangerous to not say what we think because we know how that future will look because history is taught us what things will look like if we don't say what we think that to me is far more dangerous so but anyway to your to your point just yeah how weird is it you just say what you think telling the truth to the best of your earnest ability and that kind of puts you

rarefied air in the world we've been living in. It certainly does. And I equate it to, I was going to say, you know, I'm sitting across from you, you're a physically fit human being, you know? Well, let me have another drink of my white claw, Sean. You're not a high calorie human being. You're a physically fit human being. And I equate it to kind of like, you know, I go back to the gym a lot because, you know,

the fear of going to a gym the first time, even if you've been an athlete, because I've been there when you haven't been you know you've been away from the sport for a bit to walk through the doors again you're like ah is a and then you know you start working out and pretty soon you realize it's not all that you built it up in your mind to be speaking out to me is is a lot like that it doesn't mean there aren't tough days there are tough days there's tough days and probably worse days as you point out if you don't say anything and uh there's people such as yourself among a list of people right that have said things as we go along that really led the way

or were a part of the initial piercing force of like breaking through and barrier and you know like I always come back to the Life Dragon video I swear I'll stop talking about it but like when I watched that video the amount of times I shared it had to have been 50 and I don't say that number lightly because normally I say you know

oh yeah I shared it five times shared it to a couple groups and on the flip side it probably got shared to me through the podcast of you need to have this guy odd at least 50 if not honest to God like 250 like it was just because the text line is hooked up to the podcast so when people

hate what I'm doing they text me when they love what I'm doing they text me my audience I love you all is when they find something they think I need to hear about they text me and it's a really fun way to interact with people and when you did the video it was at

honestly a god or day in time of like we need a win. And it was a giant win just for the humor aspect of like, you know what, you probably know this better than I. I walked through even today and yesterday and people come up to me and go like, you have no idea what you did for me in those days. And I'm like, I appreciate that. You have no idea what you listening did and giving me the courage to keep going.

100%. And I guess, you know, that's why I bring up the Lifejacket video over and over again because like those were dark days. Yeah. And humor was one of the ways that I just found out, like, we're living in insane times. And you did that for me. So that's my kudos to you. If I get, you know, I stop saying it.

But, you know, it really means a lot to me to have you sit across me, even with people walking by and waving and everything else. You know, it's a cool, I won't forget this moment, I guess, is what I say. Yeah, well, say, man, and we, you know, we need each other. You know, those of us who have been voicing her voice, we need each other. I get inspired seeing you. I get inspired seeing Dr. Robert Malone, speak his voice. I get inspired seeing Tucker Carlson. I get inspired seeing a neighbor who nobody knows,

but she says what she thinks and she doesn't comply. That's courage. So we need each other. And, you know, I've gotten so much inspiration from the community of not only truth tellers, but like people who will watch and listen to my content is like, that is one of the most inspiring things. The worst source of inspiration is just doing things for yourself. The best source of inspiration is you're getting to contribute to the greater good of other people.

So you're doing things for something that's greater than yourself. And man, what an honor. And like just a gift that people listen, people watch. That is the best source of motivation and inspiration. You can't buy it. You can't get it in like a neutropic formula or nutritional supplements. or anywhere. It truly is a gift from humanity for people to watch and listen.

Well, and that brings me to something you said this morning. This morning you're on stage and you said, we're in a war for the souls of humanity. And I've been feeling that for probably the last, like, year. I don't know if I fully understood it before that. Like, you know, you're confused by things. You're like, I don't fully get this. Like, I just don't.

And I feel like, If you're at, and if I may say the tip of the spear, like continue to talk about issues, continuing to see problems, continue it on and on it goes. You start to delve into some deep places of your mind that you never thought you'd go. And when you said the war for humanity, so it isn't this physical battle like we're all lining up, you know, take your pick of how far back in humanity you want to go where we all race in with, is it swords drawn or the line of guns firing or. you know, on and on.

The souls, that's a very, well, perfect way of where I feel we're at. Yeah. You know, they call it the war of winning people's minds or the war of social media. Malone, when he was on, was talking about, you know, fifth generation warfare and how you do it. And then I said, I'm not a big giant social media. He's like, it's probably the best way. Just don't get involved and you don't get influenced, right? Yeah.

But when you talk about the war for the soul of humanity or humanity, you know like expand on that if you wouldn't mind because i would have loved to have been there and just like can you expand on that for me yeah you know there's a wonderful rudolf steiner quote um and you can just google google rudolf steiner vaccine's soul of humanity quote will come up and and paraphrased what the quote says and if you pull it up faster please but he said this is over a hundred years ago by the way that he said this and rudolphs He invented the Waldorf school system. He invented biodynamic farming. He wrote over 100 books in his lifetime. But he said one day medicine will be used in vaccine. Medicine will be using vaccines to steal the soul of humanity.

Individual souls and the soul in humanity in general vaccines will be used. He said this 100 years ago. We look at what's happening present day with, you know, taxing mandates and we're like, well, okay, those vaccines are not only, we know they're not effective, like Pfizer admitted that, they're not tested for safety and effectiveness to stop transmission, but there's also reasonable suspicion that they can cause some harm. And also just the compliance alone, how much of one sole. Do you lose awareness of by betraying what you actually want to do just in the act of compliance? So that was 100 years ago.

This guy prophesized that. And then we also look at what's going on with the media propaganda, Hollywood influence, music, chemicals in our food. And to me, I wish I didn't believe this. But it really seems like they are after our souls. But at one level, to disconnect people from their own soul, distract their mind, own their mind, control their mind, control their body, control their physiology, get people's lights dimmed so that the essentially the receptacle vehicle we have, our body and our mind, can't receive and abide by the light of our soul. That's what it seems like is happening to me. it doesn't seem like the the tyrants, the bad guys.

It doesn't seem like monies are motivation. That's an old game. And they're doing things to devalue our money. So you know money isn't their motivation. Controlling people physically. Yeah, they seemingly want to do that, 15-minute cities and all the things. But I think it truly is robbing the soul from people.

And if you think if we were in a fight of Good versus E, evil. We could even call that God versus Satan. Wouldn't Satan's primary objective be to eliminate the soul? And I think that's the fight we're in right now. Well,

two years ago, I would have laughed. I would be like, ah. And you think about that, two years ago, we were just coming out of COVID. So like, you literally just seen everything. But the further I dig into these problems, the more you know like the more on my mind is spiritual warfare the more on my mind is the fact that

everything you just said I'm like no it makes it makes perfect sense now I don't know the intricacies of it and certainly there's a lot more to go on in that conversation and for people to wrestle with but regardless it's like you know you look at all the things we're doing all of them it's like at the top do they realize what they're doing? Are there useful idiots that are going on? Certainly. But like this seems to get to a fundamental, you know, and I've heard different people talk about this.

On the physical sense, it's pro-humanity or anti-humanity, right? Like you think we're killing the planet or, you know, like humanity's never seen this level of thriving. Every time we think we're going to hit a threshold of how we can make people, people's lives better. We find a new way. Do we have, make mistakes? 100%.

Are we trying to get better? Yes, we are. And it's divergent. It's like, you either go one thread or the other. Well, we already know, take the spiritual aspect out of it. Bill Gates and that group of people, they're trying to eliminate us. They're trying to reduce the human population. Yeah.

And Elon recently, seemingly he coined the term extinctionists. You know, the Bill Gates, like, hey, you know, Let's kill humanity to save the planet. Like, we're here to protect you by, like, killing you, abort your kids, carbon emissions. They're extinctionists. And that's very clear. That is anti-humanity. And I would dare say evil is another word for that.

Well, so then the only thing I can't figure out is at what point it crosses the threshold of, like, just being like the physical war. Yeah. We need to eliminate the human population. to the next step, which is the spiritual war, what we're talking about, where it's like they are completely demonic. They do believe in the darkest form of evil. And there is a energy, a life force. I don't know what to call that other than demonic,

where they gain something from that, like influence on the world. And I don't know what level that is. Is that Bill Gates or is that somebody above Bill Gates? Right? Is that Justin Trudeau or is that the people, pulling Justin Trudeau's strings or is it the people above them pulling those strings, right? Because at this point, you know, like I watched the U.S. debate, Trump Biden. Great debate, ladies and gentlemen. Wasn't it a comedy skit? Like, I mean, if you ever wondered

what rabies would look like if it was a country, come to the U.S. Like, it's married to an American. I watched it and I said, like, this is a sad state affairs. And we got Justin Trudeau as a leader. Let me tell you, that is a sad state of affairs. But at least he's an able-bodied man. Like you go, like, he's not, like, what is Biden? He, well, maybe 81, but I'm a big fan of you, control your own destiny. I've met 81-year-olds who is like, dude, they have the vitality of a 58-year-old. Obviously, he is a very old 81 or 82, whatever he is.

He's 180 years old, would that be fair? Like, I don't want to offend any 80-year-old who's got the vitality of a 50-year-old. Fair enough. because I once upon a time said 58 was old on this and the shrapnel I took for that. I'm still talking about it. I'm 43. That offends me, Sean.

Well, there you go. There you go. So, like, I completely understand. But, like, you watch the U.S. debate. And you're like, they're making fun of us at this point. Yeah. But do they realize it, right? Or is it something higher up?

I don't know if, you know, all the circles you're in. At what point do you realize what's going on? because honestly at times I think, I'm like, maybe I sound insane, you know. And then I hear you talk about the War for the Souls. And I'm like, that makes complete sense to me in a spiritual aspect. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I think evil, it gains power and maintains power in the shadows.

And with what's been going on physically for the past four years where we can see, what I would call evil, like mandates, here's this shot, you better take it, stay in your homes, you know, control over other people. That's my definition of evil. Anyone who's trying to control another person in a way that's not in their best interest and violates their rights, that to me is evil. And I don't know, but I would just be curious out loud, maybe the spiritual warfare has been happening. And if it has been for a long time, that's harder to be aware of physical warfare that's easier to be aware of we see it well you get punched in the arm you feel it yeah so i just wonder if right now is just the we're seeing the physical

manifestation of something that's been going on for a long time good news if that's true is it makes it obvious it helps us become aware of what's been happening and to me that's good news because it means we can do something about it you can't win a war you don't know you're in. You can't get out of a jail. You don't know you're in. You can't unenslave yourself to someone you don't know you're enslaved to. So I think with as nutty as the world's gotten, I think it's kind of good because evil has never been more obvious. We can see it. You know, I didn't really see it before four years ago. Maybe you didn't either. But now we see it. And guess what? Yeah. We're doing something about it at the,

very least, we are controlling our sovereignty, which is a powerful way to combat the evil forces that want to control us, whether it's physically, mentally, spiritually, or all of the above. Yeah, I think it has been going on for a long time. You know, I think back, you probably don't know this name. Paul Brandt, country music artist from Alberta. Fair enough, he's Canadian. I've never heard of Canada. He talked about traveling to different parts of the world.

And when he got away from the West, they were just more spiritual. It doesn't mean more Christian, more Buddhist, it just means they were more connected to that sense of life. And when you get over to the Western world, we're so fast, you know, I don't know how, I don't have to explain this. You know, programs coming back on, folks. That's a voice of God. That's right. When you come back to the West, we're so fast and busy. You know, like when we talk about a punch to the arm, we recognize it because it's socially recognizable, right?

That's an act of aggression. And spiritually, if you went over to different places, I wonder if they understand that world way more than we do. And the reason we don't is because we've kind of been loved to sleep or just forgotten about it in general because our life has been so fast, fast, fast, fast, pace. You know, pay the bills, pay this, do this. go here, go there, never think and slow down. And I know it gets talked about a lot, but even then when it gets talked about it, you're like, I don't even know what the heck they're talking about.

And the thing about through COVID, with everything being shut down, I talked about the Streisand effect early. One of the things they didn't realize is that once you slow everything down to a halt, there's no nothing going on, you can't go anywhere, people start to think again. Yeah.

And one of the things, when you start to think, you start to recognize things that feels like a punch in the arm. Yeah. Spiritually. Yeah. And you go, something's going on. on here. And we better start talking about it.

And I don't think they were ready for that. I don't think they're ready for the fact that J.P. Sears is sitting on stage and brings up. It's a war for souls. And some people are going to go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, war for people. Others are going to be like, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, evil people, they might be evil, but they're not stupid. And I do think they probably underestimate. the call it the soul of humanity the the the will that people have to retain their human rights because i'm not the first person to say this but the past four years seems like they've tried to do too much too fast it's made it so obvious it's not subtle anymore or you look i mean just the u.s election again like um you know i personally i think i'm the whole trump's a good guy I look at Biden.

I'm like, he does not have any sovereignty over his office or his body or his mind or his bowels. Yet the fact that they have been trying to like pretend he's an able body human, let alone the leader of the most powerful country on earth having the coast of nuclear weapons, the fact that they've been trying to pretend that, oh, he's fit. not only is he fit he's the sharpest guy in the u.s they've been trying to pretend that up until the debate now it's just a playbook they're like all right now we can throw Biden under the bus we're going to act like we're just discovering who are they who are the yeah no i know act like we're so they're taking people to be too stupid but we're smarter who are they sliding in who's your

prediction you know my my prediction and i hate this on too obvious i think the california governor Gavin Newsome. It's going to be Gavin Newsome. That would be my prediction. I don't know if that's too obvious. Well, I wonder, because it just seems obvious. So it makes me think like, and to me it's such a dumb plan, an obvious plan. I've been talking about Gavin Newsom for like two years. They're going to, or maybe longer, they're going to like replace Biden, throw him under the bus. They're currently throwing him under the bus. Correct. So it just makes me wonder, like, are they that dumb to be that predictable that it would be Gavin Newsom or is there like the rock or the

Oprah I mean Michelle Obama would probably be an outside chance but I hope they don't think we're dumb enough to believe that she's a viable politician like cool she's the wife of a former president but with that Gavin if I had to put money on it who his replacement is I think it would be Gavin Newsom Well, that's interesting because, you know, like I had a guy on earlier this week, Martin Armstrong, he said, you know, it leans towards Hillary Clinton, and I was like, really? I'm like, I can't imagine anyone voting that person in. Tucker Carlson, when he was at Eminton with Jordan Peterson and Daniel Smith was on stage for his tour of here, he let it kind of like a Freudian slip that it was going to be Michelle Obama. And I'd heard that thought process of like, you know, the. the people love her and everything else.

And I was like, it's interesting even back then. But you watched the debate. You watch everything about it. You watch however any other news agencies come out after it. You go, they were setting him up for the fall. They've been playing out this long play where, you know, it's like you watch him for two minutes. You're like, how is this guy, the leader of the free world,

free world in hair coats? And you go, something's coming down the pipe. What is it? And who is it? What is it and who is it? And yeah, by the way, just on behalf of humanity, I feel insulted that they would think were that dumb. Like, during the debate, Biden did exactly what he's been doing before he was elected into office, just, you know, obviously being degenerated. And the news reports have always been, you know, a sharp guy.

And, you know, you're a far right. This is the best he's ever been. Best he's ever been. but then cool he comes out and does the exact same thing he's been doing for over four years and now the news reports change like that is so insulting to think people are dumb enough to follow that line of propaganda but but think about it COVID-19 had a survival rate of 99% I by by what I hear 99.99% sure and people bought a hook line and sink It was pretty deadly, Sean.

I have to tell you. Right. Yeah. Literally in Alberta, I don't know if you knew this. You could tell they're waiting for a child to die. So anyone in the 19, a young adult or a kid. And when they did, it was a, it was the family came out after. Something was stage four cancer.

Like, I mean, it wasn't COVID. It was literally something way more horrific. They also had where they had like a, not a test dummy, that sounds stupid, but like a manic. as the picture of somebody struggling with COVID-19. They think we're that dumb. And so actually, when you say, you know, it's insulting, it's like they've been doing this long time. And they actually think it's going to work.

Yeah. And the weird thing, you know, noncompliance is a power. I think Martin Luther King said one of the, what do you say, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. It was either Martin Luther King or Gandhi. I get their quotes mixed up. They both have similar quotes. And with this stupidity of like, here's a mannequin, therefore, like, believe what we're showing you.

They got people to comply. Principally, they got people to comply with the dumbness. People are inherently too intelligent to believe any of that. But they got some people to comply with the stupidity of that lie. And people consented, I will agree to go along with this. Deep down people all knew. No, this isn't, but they got people to comply. Buy into the stupidity, cool, act as stupid as we need you to be.

That's where the compliance principally started. And anyway, I think people are waking up because complying your way into dumbness. It dims your light. Your quality of life is going to go down. The sharpness of your mind is going to go down. Your IQ, I mean, you're going to make... You've got to turn your brain off. Yeah.

It no longer matters. You make Forrest Gump look like Einstein to buy into that. Before I let you out of here, I should bring up, you know, I'm sure Dave would love it if we'd just, you know, briefly say, you've come to Calgary for the Bitcoin Rodeo. Your thoughts on Bitcoin or maybe one in... one and two, the Bitcoin Rodeo. Yeah.

Because, you know, once again, shout out to Dave Bradley, because without him, this probably doesn't happen. He did mean the honor and I mean this in the highest respect because I've been to lots of events. And he said, I was leaving last night. He said, I got to go. I got to go. I'm tired.

My brain's fried. And he's like, well, have you met anyone? And I'm like, well, yeah. And he's like, well, who? And I'm like, I ran off a couple names. And he carted me around in the best. way of carting around and introduce me to, you know, a bunch of people. He's a great connector.

Yes, he is. So with that being said, it would be ill of me not to bring up Bitcoin or the Bitcoin Rodeo, wherever you want to end it. I appreciate you giving me time today. I know you've got to get back on stage here at some point. And this has been a lot of fun. You know, even with the atmosphere, how loud it is, everything else. I appreciate you coming and sitting and doing this.

But Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Rodeo, wherever you want to go. Yeah. First of all, I'd say for freedom-minded people, Bitcoin's important. It's a digital representation of the freedom values that we're willing to die for. And Bitcoin, it's a symbol of how we transfer value. It's a symbol of how we steward our power. Fiat currency, that's not great stewardship of our power because guess what? We don't control it. The government. they can and they are printing money all the time, devaluing our power. So literally taking power away from people when you're just solely invested in the fiat currency. So I love Bitcoin.

It is anti-tirony. It's a symbol of freedom. And I think at the very base level, it's a great investment. And being here at the Bitcoin rodeo, I love it. I don't know how many people I've met. I'm sure over 100 handshakes, if not more. Every single one of those people, just the best people, the kindest people. And while I may have never met that person before,

there's such a great connection because we share common values. And, you know, I'm inherently, I don't care about Bitcoin, the technology. I care about what it can do for me. and these other people, same thing. Bitcoin, we're connecting over values that kind of Bitcoin's a cup of communion over, which I love. And also, I've been, you know, the, call it the main Bitcoin conference in Miami. I've spoken there, and it's great. However, this event, it is so much more personable, connective, and even the speakers, the topics.

It's not this kind of techy nerd language that doesn't matter to me. It's real talk. I mean, people speaking on principles and what really matters. So I love that. Like, Bitcoin serves as a launching off point, and we get to learn and connect with amazing people. I'm laughing on this side because you said something that, you know, you're out of the techy stuff. I'm like, okay, let's, I want the, like, the, I want the, I want the, I want the, I want the, heart of the mind let's take the philosophical discussion the bitcoin and what i'm i don't know why i'm so

surprised by this but a lot of the philosophy lines up to where i am through covid like it's just like oh you like that oh okay fair enough oh you think like you know whether it's sovereignty is is a big word um or you know as i sit here and stare at flows uh uh you know one of the pictures i bought off It literally is a bull on ungovernable. And I use the word ungovernable because I have a guest on from the silver gold world talking about you got to be more ungovernable. And I'm like, you know, a lot of these values really are starting to overlap. Yeah. And I'm, I said it when I walked in here.

I'm like, I don't know what it is. I can't quite put my finger on this event because there's like this feeling, like this sense of community, but I don't know how to explain it. I've been trying really hard, but I can't really put it on. But maybe it's just the values. The values are so close of all the people who come here, and that's hard to find. That's hard to create, you know? And so you come to events like this to see it kind of mesh together, if you will. Yeah, absolutely.

I think values are a way we connect via heart to heart. Thinking like ideas, hey, we agree on this. That's a head-based connection. And it's cool, but it's a head-based connection. It's shallow. But being here realizing Bitcoin, it represents a symbol of shared values and what Bitcoin can do for us to live out our values for not only our lifetime, but generations. That to me means, like, it's a value. It's coming from our hearts.

So I think that's why, at least my experience, connecting with people here, other speakers, the attendees, that's why it feels so deep and meaningful to me. Well, I appreciate you doing this. I have ran events and done events and everything else to give me, you know, I don't know how many minutes, it's been 40-ish-plus minutes. In the middle of having to worry about being on this panel and then, you know, you got your comedy routine coming up here this afternoon. I just appreciate you coming on and doing this. You know, like, I don't mean to make you out to be Tom Brady, but, you know, on the things of COVID, you're like one of those guys. I'm like, that was an important moment. So to get to sit across from you at a Bitcoin rodeo is kind of like this weird.

Yeah, of course, this is kind of how it had to happen to be, you know, in a funny way. But I appreciate you come sit and doing this with the loud chatter in the back and everything else. I don't know how else we would have done it. And appreciate, you know, everything you're standing up for. And look forward to, you know, hopefully the next time we run into each other again. Well, thank you, Sean, for all those kind words. and also thank you for your voice. You know, you've had a thankless job,

even though a lot of people thank you, but your life would have been easier if you just shut the hell up, you know, kind of coasted by, but you took a risk, and man, it's benefiting people. So I appreciate you for having the courage of the voice and just the beautiful drive that you do.

And it's been such a joy to get to know you, bro. Yeah, well, I look forward to hopefully the next time, J.P. Sears Hopps on the podcast. Either way, thanks again for doing this. And I'll leave you B and let you get back to the rodeo. Cool. Thank you, Sean.
