all right and we're live ed welcome back to the show thank you for taking some time to sit back down with us good to be here thanks for having me on again well it's been uh about 10 months since we last recorded it was in late march 2022 a lot has happened over the last 10 months in terms of excess deaths and this narrative beginning to to change on the go At the time, we were discussing the data that you were diving into in regards to life insurance claims and how that was sending a signal to you that something was terribly wrong. And you've developed your thesis around that. What has happened in the last 10 months since March of last year that has seemed to have made you more convinced than ever that you're on to something here? So when we were talking, we were just looking at insurance company results.

We looked at some CDC data. We broke out the millennials. And we saw smoke and gun. At the time, it was just me and an insurance analyst, former, he was anonymous at the time. He's come public. His name's Josh Sterling. He worked for Sanford Bernstein. He was number one II ranked insurance analyst for seven years. so you know he knew what he was doing and we came up with a number that showed millennials at 84 percent excess mortality into the third quarter of 2021 which coincided with mandates and and uh the executive order by biden and then so you know at the time we were just called two dudes on the internet and since then uh i got two phd physicists we've started a hedge fund we've launched the Humanity Projects, which basically looks at all the excess mortality data in all

of Europe, Germany, the UK. We've done Australia. It did the US, obviously. We're going to do Canada next. And it's the same story. Makeshift from old to young. Excess mortality took off after the vaccines came for younger age folks. And then we discovered the disability data in June of last year, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which curiously shows a three standard deviation event starting in February of 2021, took off. And we've added about 3.2 million disabled Americans in a very rapid amount of time. Half of them are employed. And then when you dig into the data, but, you know, rate of change, the employed folks, their disability rates since vaccines have increased 31%, while the general U.S. population, which is obviously not as healthy

as the employed, is only up 8%. And the most curious finding is the not-in-labor force, those are the people who left or were fired, who want to work, their health outcome is the best, only 4% rise in disabilities. So, you know, and then, of course, the Society of Actuaries came out in August with their survey of the group life industry, which showed 84% excess mortality in the third quarter for the millennials, which verified our numbers. These are claims, actual dollars going out. And then they showed that excess mortality for ages 25 through 64 was 40% for 2021. The general US population was 32. And so the reason why that's important is that relationship has never occurred usually this group life subset which are fortune 500 employees and

mid-sized companies their health outcomes are are way better than the general u.s population any given year the society of afterwards actually did a study on this in 2016 to prove what they already knew that they give insurance to people that don't need it um that they die at a rate of of 30 percent out of the general u.s population so basically in my book cause unknown the epidemic of sudden death in 21 and 22 i basically say since in 21 and 22 has been detrimental to your health to be employed i blame the vaccines of course because that's the only rational deductive critical thinking explanation you can come up with and i say well if it's not that uh then why are all the global health authorities not talking about this and it's a national security issue

at this point and i pointed that out to ron johnson senator ron johnson in december when i went to dc so here we are um the tide seems to be turning a little bit we got more and more evidence coming out more doctors are coming forward so it's gonna it's it's a grind it's the government's never going to admit anything uh the u.s seems to be behind the curve we're the only health authority that's still pushing this thing others are starting to slowly back off uh denmark effectively banned the vaccine for under 50 because their health outcomes were a disaster. Their excess mortality went up every year since COVID.

So 21 was above 20, 22 was above 21. So, you know, here we are, it's 2023 and the insanity continues. We got, you know, the incident that occurred on Monday Night Football that kind of brought the issue to the forefront and sudden athletic deaths. while they did occur in the past never occurred at this frequency so that's that's where we are

it's absolute insanity yeah yeah the demore hamlin thing was a bit shocking i watched that live and it was unnerving especially being in a bigger group and everybody trying to figure out what was going on in my head it was like it's probably the mandates that the nfl had but i mean here we stand you've been tweeting out uh gifs of dams breaking and it seems like to me that more and more people are waking up to this but like you said the u.s at least at the uh authority level the political level is well behind the curve like this episode that we're recording now will not be on youtube because of what we're talking about the uh censorship here in the states is still pretty strict when it comes to talking about this topic i mean you were kicked off twitter

for a period of time until Elon bought the company and then reactivated your account. Why do you think the political class and the tech giants outside of Twitter are continuing to censor this? Well, it's come out, I mean, obviously, so the Twitter files have exposed what we all thought, anybody with two brain cells of critical thinking skills, is that the intelligence agencies and our fbi and pharma are all involved in uh managing the messages at tech companies so you know it's literally a military-grade style and it's being

conducted through social media and twitter has exposed that so uh you know anybody who who wants to believe that what i just said is a conspiracy theory it's all it's all in the open now and You're just willfully being ignorant to not think that you were just PSYOPed in the most grand fashion of all time. Yeah. And I mean, you've been memeing this term democide into the Twitter space for quite some time now. And that's the question I have is like, why are the intelligence agencies, Big Pharma, really pushing this censorship? Is it because they did something intentionally and don't want people to find out? Or is there something related to the Wuhan lab gain of function that if people are allowed to talk openly about this, that will be exposed and they'll have to sort of have to confront the reality that everybody knows that at the end of the day, when it comes to the source of COVID, number one, and then the vaccine, they were behind all of it. so you know i don't know intent i don't know whether this was a diabolical plot or a comedy

of errors all i know is it just is i say that in my book i keep out the who and why because i want as many people to come into our tent as possible to know that something happened we can let the investigators the prosecutors the attorney generals sure when journalists wake up someday they might investigate this but you know um i've heard i've heard different theories one is obviously the grand one is depopulation you know i don't know about that but what i do know is there does there did seem to be a push for these mrna vaccines uh by the dod it's coming out now that the dod wanted a quick fast way to inoculate the troops and they thought this would be a great way to get the technology going. Some sort of nonsense like that. So there's all sorts of

competing theories. At the end of the day, I don't care. This thing was a disaster from go on. I knew that because I just, I'm from Wall Street and I know how long it takes to do safety data on a vaccine, seven to 10 years. This was, you know, 28 days. It was experimental, never tested on humans. So I thought everybody would do what I would do, which was, you know, oh yeah, I'll wait. I'll let some fools take this first, but I didn't realize they were going to psyop the whole world with safe and effective, just absolute lies. I was driving around Maui in the early days of the vaccine when it was still under EUA and it had been authorized by the FDA, not approved, but all the radio ads were saying

it's been approved and it's safe and effective. Go get everybody back. I mean, it was just, it was mind blowing to me, the criminality, the Nuremberg Code violations. I mean, bribing people to get vaccines, that's a blatant Nuremberg Code violation. I mean, the whole thing was stinky from the get-go. And, you know, I suspected it was causing injuries and harm, but, you know, to be honest, I never thought it would be as bad as it is. I mean, I was hoping I was wrong, to be honest, but the data just keeps coming in. It's a disaster.

Yeah. And the authorities keep doubling and tripling down. I mean, I'm still hearing commercials about getting children vaccinated and make sure you're updated on your boosters. And that's the extremely worrying part of this is it seems that the more inoculations that you get, the more, well, it's really not inoculating you from anything. The more jabs that you get, the worse it is for your immune system. So they're continually making the problem worse. Well, you know, let's go to the original thesis on the vaccine. You know, early days, they were touting, and we have all the receipts and clips of all these fools saying this, from the president to all the health officials to just about anybody, all these doctors that have prevented transmission, number one, and you from getting COVID.

Both have turned out to be utter, obscene lies. and yet we still push this nonsense and we still have the uh the the trope where they say well you know you won't be seriously hospitalized where's the data on that i haven't seen a study i've been i've been saying on every interview someone presented to me a peer-reviewed study that actually proves it reduces hospitalization which is just something that you know like nebulous term what does that what does that mean it's just it's gobbledygook marketing spin yeah and it seems like the more jabs you get the more likely you are actually to be hospitalized maybe like an abject lie on top of well yeah so the boosters at this point if you took the

original vaccine and you were fooled you know hey i feel for you i get it you know my dad took it my brother took it they're not getting any more you know my ex-wife took it she's not getting any more so if you continue to get boosters with a product that at the very least doesn't even work at all you're you're basically it's like buying a falling stock where there's fraud being uh kind of slowly leaked out and you're you're doubling down on a bet except this time you won't lose money you might lose your health and or life so you know just getting a booster at this point is like russian roulette if you were okay the first time why would you why would you why would you why would you risk it again for something that just doesn't work it's it's insanity at this

point. No. And that goes back to what I mentioned before we hit record. It seems like there's a massive sunk cost fallacy at play. And you mentioned it earlier for individuals like ourselves who decided not to get the vaccine because there wasn't enough data. And obviously there was a lot of vitriolic debate when the vaccines were first being rolled out. People of getting them claiming that the people who didn't were putting people's lives at risk and people who didn't get them telling the people who did get them that they were idiots but like you say like this has happened it seems to be a terrible mistake like how do we come to this it's not even a national reconciliation but like a global reconciliation of hey we just all have to

recognize that this was a bad idea people who didn't get it we're not going to shame you because you did get it. We need to get over those psychological adversary mindsets and come together and say, our governments and the big pharma industry and the tech industry just openly psyoped us for the last three years. Yeah. Look, I have no problem with anybody that decides they were wrong and works to get these things stopped. And that's how we're gonna win. We have to convince the marginal folks

who weren't religious about this, that didn't make this their tribal identity, who are either forced to do it because they had to keep their job, to just wake up, realize that this is a serious disaster that just occurred, the largest biomedical disaster the globe has ever seen. It's the biggest fraud I've ever seen in my career.

And once we get enough people to clamor to the politicians, politicians flip because the regulators are gone we don't have any regular no one's coming to save us who say what saves us is we the people and enough people get so agitated that we flip the tide turn the tide and it's just a question of timing it's going to happen it's not if but when it happens and i'd like to move that over to the window you know to today and have you know the the health authorities stopped the vaccination program, but realistically that won't happen, but it's a slow grind.

That's why I wrote the book. The book was a tool to convince people, that the numbers are the numbers, forget about who did it and why it has happened and it's a disaster. So that's the call to action. It's just, everybody needs to wake up when you put pressure on our politicians

and then eventually things just flip because you can't hide the bodies, You can't hide the disabilities. It's going to have tremendous, horrendous economic impacts for years to come. You know, we're seeing labor shortages. We're seeing supply chain breaks. We're seeing our hospital system literally falling apart. The UK has got a crisis in their hospital system.

And it's just going to continue. And we're going to, I call it like the slow walk to a glacial Mad Max. So let's dive into that a little bit in terms of the market for labor and the stress on the hospital systems what what's particularly happening what are you seeing well so let's just go on the numbers i mean so the employment number so there's about 100 million able-bodied employed people in the u.s of the 300 doing the jobs maybe it's more 120 but i've seen numbers that it's 100 million employed people of the employed we added 3.2 million uh 1.7 million to the disability list and then if you add the deaths which we calculated around 800 000

you know plus or minus 200 000 so 600 000 to a million you add that to the 1.7 you know we're like we're approaching 3 million people that just kind of dropped out uh and that's huge that's just like you know it's it's huge and you know this the story in the mainstream media is it's called the great resignation millennials rethought their lives during covid and you know whatever that means i mean i don't know about you but most people have to work to put food on the table so this nonsense that everyone's like rethinking their lives is just it's the most absurd narrative i've ever heard uh these numbers are big you know three million people just kind of mysteriously disappearing from the labor force okay uh and and we were already running tight we were everything

was running on just in time inventory everybody's lean and now we're getting to lay off time and what's interesting is as the companies are laying off people there's still help wanted ads i've never seen a recession where there's help wanted signs and ads during a recession i mean it's this this is all you need to know and so goods and services used to take for granted are going to start getting harder to hard harder to come by um you know you know the anecdote that was real me was my car i couldn't get it into a body shop i couldn't even get it repaired or parts they had to finally junk it and then uh um uh i come to find out that they sold my audi a6 for you know blue book was six they gave me 10 grand and then they i'm sure they sold they're not you

know insurance companies aren't saints they you know they towed it away and i'm sure they sold the parts stripped it for parts so this is what's going on the hospital system is a disaster i'm hearing you know because of my seat in this issue people reach out to me via social media doctors and radiologists and they're telling me that there's shortages in the hospitals and the shortages aren't because some of them are because people have burnt out and tired others because they're disabled and sick or just died so the system is slowly breaking down yeah and when it when it comes to like numbers for the excess mortality just to put it in perspective i forget was germany or the uk but their excess numbers in terms of body count was in one of those countries

i forget exactly which one hit like 120 000 uh in recent weeks is that correct i didn't i haven't i i i know that the uk is exploding and they're actually it's starting to come out in their mainstream media i'm not i haven't familiarized myself with the numbers but look um it's becoming a parent to everybody something's off at the very least if you're if you're not like clued in like you and i are people's in their gut they know something's weird and you know here on maui people who don't know anything about this who don't even know that i wrote a book when i'm at a conversation because sometimes i'm talking to people on the beach and they're like wow there's a lot of ambulances lately what's going on and of course i know what's going on and people are

dropping dead and having you know strokes and what have you i mean the ambulances are running 24 7 here on maui i mean we see them all the time like this didn't happen like that it's it's so we're at the point now where either you're gonna admit there's a problem and do something about it or you're gonna put your head in the sand and so those are the two types of people yeah it's it's not climate change or people eating too many eggs yeah apparently eggs are causing strokes uh i had i had uh two rib eye caps and six eggs yesterday so i i i'm at risk of dying i guess well uh we'll make sure we have the uh the maui uh ambulance on speed dial here in case you stroke out absolutely you know and then anecdotally i'm 50 i'll be 56 in april there's

a uh world-class paddler here on maui lock eggers you know he died while hiking the poly trail which is a trail i used to hike all the time he you know he was built like a brick house and he just dropped dead by himself hiking the trail and mysteriously his brother who was also a world class paddler died while paddling in april of last year i mean this just doesn't happen and then we had an mma fighter in oahu 18 year old young woman just dropped dead i mean wake up people this is a joke yeah and i think for some reason and other people uh really latch on to celebrity and athletes and i think the the sports world all the headlines are coming out of sports and athletes dropping dead randomly is getting to a point where it's like undeniable obviously

demar hamlin falling on the field and then that weird appearance at the playoff game over the weekend has a lot of people questioning what the hell's going on yeah you know look all i know i'm not going to comment on him specifically but i'll say this 95 the stat the nfl put out is 95 of all nfl players were vaccinated what i found curious about the demar hamlin situation and i didn't get i didn't i didn't comment on it because it wasn't i know how the internet works but those who did who questioned his vaccination status were attacked as horrible disgusting individuals You know, I'm old enough to remember when your vaccination status was required to go to a restaurant, a school, a gym, get a job. So it's curious now asking someone's vaccination status is verboten if they drop dead suddenly.

So everything's flipped on. We're living in a clown world. And to speak on these sudden athletic deaths, it's in my book. You know, I show hundreds and hundreds of stories of athletes that drop dead. We used under the age of 45. We have hundreds in the book, and it's not exhaustive. There was a study done, and we put a little math on this, realizing it's mostly anecdotal. What really nails the case is the metadata.

But let's just look at the athletes. Did athletes die suddenly on the field prior to 2021? They sure did. But it was very rare. There's a study done, the La Sainz study in 2006, looked at 38 years. It wasn't as comprehensive as they would like, but they found 1,101 such stories and incidences of sudden athletic deaths under the age of 35. That averages to about 29 a year. Okay.

So it did happen. But, again, just go in your memory bank, people. Do you remember this happening all the time? No, you don't. It was rare. And, you know, I went through junior high, high school, college, I went to Notre Dame, you know, I went to lots of football games. I don't remember anybody ever collapsing on the field or dying suddenly while I was, you know, in my 20s, just didn't happen. So now we'd be lucky to have a month with just 29 sudden athletic deaths. We, you know, we recorded, I think, like over 100 in December of 21. I mean, it's just, it's a joke at this point. yeah and so let's go down the hypothetical future in which the tide does turn people begin to come to grips with what has happened what happens after that obviously there's in the book you don't try

to name names or try to point blame at anybody but at some point if the tide does turn people will be looking at the people that push this and looking for justice. What does that look like in your mind? Well, it's a total lack of trust in all global governments and institutions, medical institutions, college institutions, quote-unquote experts. So we're going to see a collapse in trust, which is already pretty low anyways. um and uh that may be what is the plan to use that collapse to introduce a new system so i'm i'm always thinking 3d 4d chess wouldn't it be great to have all the global governments

collapse and introduce a new a new system so we're going to be wary of that you know these bond characters these bond villain characters klaus schwab and harari and bill i mean these people are so absurd that i gotta think that they're being set up for something that's my that's my speculation my theory that you know these these people get thrown under the bus and then some more benign reasonable sounding system comes into place because a new system's coming make no mistake about that this current monetary system is kaput we're just in a slow motion train wreck and they have to figure out a way to introduce a new currency and a central bank digital currency currency is what they want obviously uh if they get their way it's total

and utter slavery because it'll be linked to everything they can they can they can tweak it for social reasons they can stop your purchases of meat if they decide meat's killing the plant whatever it is they want they can it's total control yeah the cbdc future is a dystopian hellscape that uh yeah straight up my children will not be living in that hellscape that's why No. We focus on Bitcoin here, but yeah, no, I think, I mean, if there is this grand plan and we're going to run with that thesis, I mean, there's nothing better than a vaccine passport to begin embedding that type of system.

You start with a vaccine passport, then, oh, you have a Walton here, too. Yeah, the good news is the vaccine passport system seems to have been thwarted. You've got to remember, if you go back not that long ago, the plan that they were hoping implement was quarterly boosters with up-to-date surveillance and vaccine passports and they wanted to link it digitally so that you know you get your vaccine passport you enter your number and you know everything's digitalized and that was going to be on the entry into the central bank digital digital currency so that's been thwarted i mean the the vaccine pushback is beginning a lot of the mandates at least in the u.s uh were thwarted there's still some you know first

Responders are still having to get these things. Colleges are still mandating. But the booster uptake is abysmal for the bivalent booster, which is good. So we seem to have thwarted their vaccination plans in the U.S., which will hopefully be a holdout and help roll back other countries. Yeah. And, yeah, so if this plays out or the tide turns, collapse in confidence, plays out like i find it hard to believe that if you have that collapse in confidence that

anybody's actually gonna uh go along with the government and download the cbdc wallet so what is the alternative parallel system in your mind don't know but be suspicious of anybody super eloquent and handsome or beautiful that coming in with something that sounds very reasonable that we haven't seen on the world stage i mean that if i was going to introduce something i would set up the straw man which is uh you know uh harari and claude schwab and all this eat the bugs and you own nothing nonsense as the villains and then you throw them under the bus and then you come in with some some system that seems benign but just like the central banking system most people don't even understand how that works even today so you would set up a

system that sounds great but only that the insiders know how it really works yeah so have you become more drawn to bitcoin through all this since it's open source it's more auditable more verifiable so when i when i think about this why i'm dedicated my life to bitcoin and conversations like this because it really highlights like hey you juxtapose a central bank digital system even the fiat monetary system closed source controlled by a few insiders with bitcoin which is open source. Anybody can verify. Anybody can audit. And just intuitively to me, it makes sense if we want to live in a free world in the digital age that this is the type of system that would need to be adopted. Yeah, obviously something like that's going to arise. The problem you get to

watch out for is folks who are coming forward in that world who are tied to the shadowy links to the powers that be already so it needs to be uh a system needs to be propagated by those who want nothing to do with the old system so you just gotta vet people i mean this this this disaster with uh was it ftx i mean i mean we can't you gotta watch out for those freaks yeah no i completely agree i actually had that freak on my radar two years ago i started calling him out he blocked me on twitter but not completely i mean so those an spf archetype is somebody who's trying to co-opt i would argue he's trying to co-opt bitcoin and affinity scam off of it to funnel people into a centrally controlled system that sort of looks like bitcoin but isn't exactly that

and you can tell like going back and reading like the sequoia puff piece on him and when he was explaining like, yeah, FTX, FTT, the token of the future, it's going to be used for everything. And I think that, I mean, you talk about PSYOPs, I think FTX was one massively supported PSYOP that was thrust on this market. Who knows if it was intended to funnel people into a fully controlled cryptocurrency world or used as a setup for a massive blow up to drag Bitcoin down. Because uh i would argue you need to separate bitcoin from the rest of that crypto bullshit which is all centrally controlled right there's there was a you know it was it's like the dot com boom right you had a couple real companies that emerged from that disaster most of them were frauds so a lot of

the alt coins and you know you and i talked about this a lot of that's just garbage yeah it's a yeah affinity scams and so how else so i mean obviously you've built a hedge fund you've got a strategy you're going to trade uh well we're in the process of raising a seed from a like-minded investor who will get ownership in the company we're in the process of meeting and vetting we're we're going super slow because we've already had some nefarious characters reach out to us that we've rejected so we need to be like like like like like in the bitcoin world we can't have the sam friedman's you know investing with us to corrupt us so we're going super slow Yeah, he got his tentacles and everything. It's actually funny to watch from afar. I'm a venture capitalist in the space as well. Luckily, all of our portfolio companies stayed away from interacting with SBF and the Alamedas of the world, but they corrupt everything they touch.

yeah so we're in the process of vetting we uh at the top of the hour i have to get off here and get on a call with the family office who we're going to interview so you know it's a slow process we're not in a rush we know we're going to get it funded it's just a question of with who yeah and so what's the thesis uh behind are you trading this this massive narrative and a potential turning of the tide we have the strategy in place it's early cycle indicators economic fundamental indicators it's going to pick up all the vaccine damage it's going to get all the growth rates and inflation rates correct so we're going to express those bets through commodities bond futures indices and stock futures indices so we're gonna we got we got

the magic sauce. It's going to predict correctly the economies going forward globally. And unfortunately, what I see and what we see is we're going to see recession, recovery, recession, recovery. It's going to be like the 70s, but even worse. So it's going to be stagflation, which is a disaster. So, you know, we're probably going to bottom GDP sometime in q2 the the current stock market's waiting to follow and fall sharply soon and then we'll have a rebound and everyone will get excited and then we'll have another recession you know a year later that's that's what i see it's like just economic malaise for years to come so where are the opportunities if you're an entrepreneur or somebody looking to fix the pieces that are falling apart

right now where would you opportunities uh opportunities in the medical field the whole medical system once this is exposed uh there's going to be tremendous new ways of doing medicine holistic medicine is going to make a huge comeback companies are already starting a lot of the frontline doctors who lost their licenses are starting new ways of healing um there's going to be uh you know opportunities uh just locally all sorts of uh um just local businesses are going to come back and investing in local businesses personally with people you know might be the way to go if you have capital yeah that's actually encouraging because uh lockdowns completely decimated small businesses here in the united states would be great yeah

they did and that was it was designed to do that uh i've become convinced that you can make a Rico case, because it was just bizarro how essential businesses were everything but big box stores, where if it was a real threat, you know, you congregate hundreds and hundreds of people breathing on each other. But the small business, you got two or three people in the shop. I never understood the logic behind any of that. No, I mean, my parents own and operate a coffee shop in our hometown, and it was extremely stressful 18 months for them between the time they were forced to close down and the time they're

able to reopen and yeah it never made sense that you can go to walmart and get a whole foods and get a home depot but you can't go to the coffee shop down the street you could go to starbucks here on maui that was interesting yeah it's like you said it's an insane clown world that we live And so another thing, like speaking on health care, too, that's one thing that should be made clear throughout all this, particularly focusing on COVID, not even the vaccine, obviously affected people comorbidities, particularly obesity, much more than the healthier person. And so that's always something that's perplexed me is this environment and society that's basically enamored with the pharmaceutical companies of the world and a pill for this, a pill for that. I would love to see us come out the other end of this and people really dig into holistic health care, particularly focusing on preventative care by being a healthy individual at the end of the day. I like to use anecdotes. so when i was a kid uh i was born in 67 in the early 70s i remember going over to my grandparents

house and they were old but they they weren't taking i never there was never this grandpa has to take his 20 pills grandpa was grandpa was fine until the day he dropped dead i mean he you know he was doing just fine and then he one day just went and he was gone like you know there wasn't this slow uh you know destruction of health with like 20 pills and now i meet my friend's parents and they're like you know talking about their meds everyone's talking about their this is something that's that happens slowly over time i just remember you know when i was a kid there were all these old people i was hanging out with weren't on meds now now we're addicted to all these pills or i wouldn't say addicted they're being pushed on people and then the side effects

are horrendous they cause all sorts of other health problems i mean the quality of life just seems to decline super super quickly once you get on 20 pills and then they you end up in a nursing home which is another way to siphon off your uh hard-earned dollars that you saved and not able to transfer to your children yeah it's a good place to uh get murdered as well uh oh yeah absolutely uh we know five governors that did that with the uh with the covid lockdowns there were two kill shots. First kill shot was in 2020 when they suppressed early treatment because early treatment, if it was widely available, would have made the EUA for the vaccine null and void because one of the stipulations of the EUA is you can't have a remedy that's already available

with current medications. That's why you get an EUA because there's nothing working. So they suppressed it on purpose, killed a ton of people. Then they rolled out these new, what I call death shots yeah and they prevented people from taking ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine i've seen some stuff about ivermectin specifically that it may like when it comes to uh i mean obviously people have gotten multiple boosters are worried about the long-term effects and i've seen some things i haven't really dove into it that ivermectin may help uh reverse adverse uh effects from the vaccine have you read into that at all i i've heard that i i haven't done a deep dive on it what i do know is this is let's look at hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin they were

off patent so they were you know made i guess i would not be super cheap to make same with hydroxychloroquine the safety profile on them is you know fabulous unless you unless you purposefully overdose yourself i mean these things were safe and it looks like they were effective but they they were off patent so literally you know what the system is about the system is about creating new novel technologies to get their 17-year patent charge outrageous amounts of money and then when that goes off patent they create a you know a slight twist on it rebrand it and do you know rinse repeat i mean prozac is off patent no one's pushing prozac anymore in the uh in the healthcare world. They're pushing some other nonsense that's on patents so they can make

money. So do you think that's a big part of the problem is the patent system in the medical industry? You think that needs an overhaul to actually get quality medicines to people? The whole system is for profit. And when you have a for profit incentive, it just, it creates crazy outcomes. I mean, you know, again, just look at the SSRI industry, antidepressants. First of all, I think they don't work. But let's give the benefit of the doubt. Let's say they work. Prozac was a big drug in the 80s and 90s, one-off patent. Have you ever heard of anybody being on Prozac lately? No, because there's no money in it. It's a generic drug now. So now they're on whatever they're on that has got the longest lead patent life on it. I think

the patents last 17 years, where they're able to, quote unquote, recoup their R&D expenses That's why they were able to get a patent for 17 years, because the theory was pharmaceutical industry needs to be paid for its R&D. Yeah. Xanax is the SSRI of choice these days, I believe. Well, that's actually a benzo. A benzo. That's anti-anxiety. And benzos are the worst things on the planet.

I mean, they just are. The most addictive, right? Yeah, hugely addictive. Yeah. Yeah. it's uh and i guess to wrap this up going back to like the reconciliation and getting past this obviously we talked about the sunk cost fallacy and even though there is a collapse in confidence that seems to be playing out for some reason or another is a subsect of the population that really

depends on authority whether it be the pharmaceutical industry the fact checkers at the tech industry level or the political class to tell them what they need to do like do you see that making a massive shift at the end of this you see people introspectively looking in and saying hey maybe i shouldn't have trusted these authority figures that's one thing i worry about is just a certain part of the population is pre-wired to to like look to authority for what to do is that going to change or do we just need new authority that is more uh more aligned with the well-being of these individuals so there's i roughly break down the population this way there's 10 to 20 percent of us that knew what was going on and then there's the great unwashed masses who

went along to go along who didn't really investigate anything 60 but they're not religious about this and there's you know 10 to 20 percent of the population i call them covidians that this became this became their religion it became their tribal identity it gave that you know these are people that are constantly in victimhood that's why a lot of the woke people push the covidian religion because they love being victims and then you know the government gave them authority to hate on us that didn't take it with you know virtue signaling and these people are gone just write them off don't even try to argue with them let them you know they're gone but the 60 in the middle those are the ones we need and we get them and then everything shifts and the 20 who want to

cling on to their code religion won't be around with us much longer if they continue to get boosted so that you know this problem works itself out eventually yeah yeah do you think we get justice you know i do believe that that's going to happen uh but you know the the first step is making people aware of the problem that's why i wrote the book you know it is let's uh let's stop the vaccination program. Let's have some investigations to see what happened. The good news is that Ron DeSantis has got the Florida State's Attorney General looking. That's how Big Tobacco was defeated. Big Tobacco hid and lied. They were being sued with individual cases and they were all getting dismissed because no discovery was allowed. State's Attorney General

generals came in on this because money, you know, they're losing money in the healthcare system and And then they were able to get discovery because of, I forget, it was some law that allowed them to get discovery. So if we get discovery, this whole thing falls apart. So we need more states to start suing the hell out of Pfizer and the FDA and CDC and what have you. Yeah. And do you see the trend of what began to happen during the lockdowns accelerating, which is individual states like Florida, Texas, asserting their autonomy from the federal government? Do you see a disintegration at the federal level? Oops, my camera dropped. Absolutely. Absolutely. Look, 25 years from now, will we be the United

States of America? That's a good question. I mean, are we going to break down into regional whatever? Look, there's some economic impacts going on here. So the draconian states that did mandates and lockdowns are having a huge exodus of people that can leave, leaving. Let's look at New York State. So despite what you think about Goldman Sachs, 300 senior executives are relocating to West Palm Beach, Florida. So they're losing, these states are losing their tax base and it's going to come to a head and they're going to have populations of poor people that they need to control and all the earners are leaving. So it's coming to a head. I don't know whether it's a civil war or what have you, but it seems like we're going to get super

regionalized yeah god i hope it's not a civil war i'd like to think that we have the communication tools if the tech companies don't censor but there are other uncensorable tools like noster being built out that allow us to communicate with each other like hey let's not draw guns here let's recognize the problem which was the federal government and all of its alphabet soup agencies that got us into this mess. We need to... I mean, I'm a big fan of states asserting their rights and really getting to that regionalized level,

more localized level of let's let the people who actually live in these places decide how they govern themselves. Well, the more people move to the states of their choice, the less likely we have a civil war because you'll have states with, you know, a bunch of unproductive people and states with all the productive people.

So, you know, unless a governor of an unproductive state declares war against another state, I don't think anything's going to happen. It'll be interesting to see if the states begin implementing tax penalties for leaving like they do here at the U.S. California tried that. Yeah. They're trying to say that if you leave California, they can grab taxes from you for like, I don't know, some crazy amount of years, like 12 years or something. I mean, it won't hold up in court, and if I move from California and they send me a bill, I'd throw it in the garbage. Yeah. California seems to be the worst of all the states in terms of these terrible policies, particularly energy policy. I mean, we haven't even touched on energy, but that's another—

Energy is a disaster. I mean, we literally—the first executive order on day one by Biden was to shut down the Keystone pipeline. That's all you need to know about what they're trying to do with energy. You know, I think I think the energy policy was purposely put in place to create shortages and then, you know, claim global warming is a problem. I mean, if you look at the policies, the coordinated policies from the EU and the US, you know, the price of oil was skyrocketing well before Putin did a damn thing. So and the US dollar was going up at the same time. It wasn't a commodity inflation cycle. It was literally choking the supply of energy to cause problems.

Yeah. And nuclear could take care of all this, by the way. Yes, it could. I mean, energy has been a big theme on this show for a couple years now. But I think that's another silver lining of the last year, particularly is that the ESG narrative has been completely disintegrating as people realize how important energy infrastructure is. And I think there's been a lot of good work

by people like Alex Epstein who have really been trying to highlight the hypocrisy of the quote-unquote renewable industry, particularly the amount of heavy metals and hydrocarbons that go into the front end of those supply chains. You're not going to be able to energize the world with wind and solar.

It's just simply physically not possible. No, you can't. And I used to be an electric utility analyst on Wall Street for two years at Donaldson, Lufkin, and Genret. And what people don't understand is wind and solar, when you replace the coal, they call them peakers. When you replace the coal peakers with those things, they don't store the energy. So there are a couple times a year where you have the need for electricity when it gets very cold and when it gets very hot. And so when you don't have the peak capacity, because, again, you can't store it, and that's what peak capacity, you turn it on when you need it, you have rolling blackouts.

So this green energy is literally telling you we want to have rolling blackouts. It's built into the system. Yeah, it turns out it gets really hot because the wind stops blowing and it gets really cold because the clouds cover the sun. Imagine that. No, and then you, I mean, I know you have to go here, but then you have the complete contradiction of the Bill Gates's of the world and the World Economic Forum pushing everybody towards solar specifically, and then also pushing to blot out the sun, like

light metals as well to tame climate change. It's the stupidest idea I've ever heard in my life. There wasn't one person in that room who raised their hand and said, hey, we might, you know have uh you know crop failures and and starve five billion people maybe that maybe that's the idea i don't know but it's the stupidest thing i've ever heard in my life well we do live in a clown world so yeah it's only going to get stupider until until the tide turns but i think individuals like yourself are very important to to making sure that the tide does turn so i want to thank you for all the work that you've been doing it's been great to see you back on twitter yeah it's

good yeah it's good you know but we'll see how long they keep us on well i'll enjoy it while i can but you know to your point about clown world what you need to start doing everybody is like if you're associating with people who believe in clown world you're going to just literally get them out of your lives they're they they're trapped in some sort of alternate reality and you need to associate yourself with people that are like-minded that have critical thinking skills because hanging out with these people is going to be detrimental to your survival going forward yeah they've been psyoped by the uh the global color revolution that seems to be upon us it's uh yeah yeah they're they're gone move on all right ed well i know you got to go here is there

anything uh any final thoughts you'd like to leave the freaks any messages any anything to look out for uh i i would say this um just get you know trying to convince loved ones that they're still thinking we're crazy of what's going on we'll turn the tide don't have fear just like like you said it's tremendous opportunity even in economic turmoil uh look look to things that are going to create new alternative uh economies and don't get tied into the current system because that's going to die once once everything is revealed all these institutions are going to crumble yes I mean, it's incredibly sad and maddening what has happened, but there is going to be incredible opportunity out of this.

We can restructure the society in a more fair and distributed way, which is important. The problem of central planning got us into this mess, and hopefully more decentralized, distributed solutions arise from all this. And they will. People are working on them. I mean, we've pledged with our hedge fund profits to fund all sorts of different ideas. We're not going to – if we do become successful, we're not going to sit around accumulating yachts, boats, and properties. I mean, that's a madness game.

Yes, it is. One thing we like to say here is go shake your rancher's hand. Go support your local rancher. Get good quality food and build up that local economy. Okay. Ed, it's a beautiful day in Hawaii. I know you've got to jump. I want to thank you for joining us again. Hopefully we can do this again in the future. Maybe the next time we talk, the turn will have tied a bit and we'll have more optimistic things to talk about. I certainly hope so. And let's bet on that. Hopefully in the next three to four months,

when I come back on, you and I have good news. Let's plan on it. Peace and love, freaks. Thank you.
