Pocan Valley could become a sanctuary city of a different kind. Maying Councilman Caleb Collier says that this proposal. I'm proposing that the city of Spokane Valley issue of proclamation stating that our city is a Second Amendment sanctuary. Today on Church and State, the Hated One. Hello Christian Patriots and welcome to Church and State where we drive morality and religion over tolerance and apathy.

And remember, something as small as $10 a month can really help us out. Lastly, if you want to get a hold of us, Church and State 1776 at Proton.me, and with that,

let's go ahead and bring on our guests. Now, I'm bringing on a really interesting individual. It goes by the moniker, The Hated One. And I love on X right here, says, because mass surveillance is a backdoor into freedom of speech. Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard me talk about this issue many, many a time. And I wanted to bring on the Hated One because he is an absolute expert on this subject. I guess I'll just keep referring to you as the Hated One.

Thanks for joining us on Church and State. Yeah, thanks for having me. Absolutely. It is a pleasure. So tell the audience a little bit about what you do. We will bring up your YouTube here in just a little bit, but you got quite the following, and you are pushing back against this really 1984 surveillance state. Well, among other things, yeah.

But I mostly make video essays that are very deeply researched into privacy, authoritarianism, corporate power. I've talked a lot about many of the big debt companies monopolizing the markets and abusing their market position to do all these kinds of in-scientification things, like, you know, abusing our data and throwing all these algorithms at us that are outraging us, manipulating our behaviors, et cetera. I've also talked a lot about geopolitics. I've had some pretty good background in there, too, and I've used my official or formal

training in research to make myself kind of like a special. specialist in privacy, but for me, that's mostly a tool to be just an anti-authoritarian for the most part. And that's what people will probably find as the most resonating message across all my videos. Well, I absolutely love that. I think we all need to band together. And, you know, I would say throughout the world, but we'll just focus on America right now. We have to push back against this authoritarian regime. And that's the problem with so many of the, the sheeple, if you were,

they get caught in the tribalism of left versus right. I hate my neighbor because they vote Democrat or I hate my neighbor because they vote Republican. And the reality is it's a unit party. All sides are trying to push us towards an authoritarian state where everything that we do is monitored. We self-censor and fear of getting into trouble. And we can see, I mean, the examples of this is a really legion. Yeah, I am very disillusioned with just regular electoralism. And I believe that, yeah, we should all participate in elections, of course, but it doesn't stop there.

And we should not expect that we can enact change by doing something as citizens only once every four years or every two years. And I do believe that we should actually band together and do some activism when it's possible. And obviously, people have different views, opinions, and beliefs, and they're not always going to agree on all the options and solutions. But when we do agree on solutions, I do believe that we should work together. and so we can build coalitions that can actually have significant political power, and that is what should matter. And if we are able to do this in a way that is nuanced, that takes into consideration that we will never find common ground on everything, but it's okay, then I think we could have a better world than we do today. Yeah, I completely agree with you.

And some of these issues that, you know, we're currently facing, they're not political. When we're examining the poisons and toxins that are in our food and water, when we're looking at the, you know, the chem trails that are getting sprayed into our skies, or something about mass surveillance where everything that we're doing is being surveilled, this isn't a left issue, this isn't a right issue, this is a freedom issue, and we should be able to build those coalitions. We should. It's definitely not everything that I would, uh,

and behind but for one of the things you mentioned there I would definitely fight for and I would I would build a coalition with anybody on that and that's this privacy thing which is really just an idea to to have equality with one another because if you have just some people that are able to surveil everybody and then no one else is able to surveil those people like who watches the watchman kind of dilemma and you have the the corporate sector the big tech social media that's able to build these profiles on literally billions of people, while we can't do anything to them,

then you have this imbalance of power, and that's what I really care about. I really want to bring about that equality between people and maybe do something about those that want to establish dominion over others. I'm definitely right there with you. So let's talk about what their surveillance state looks like. Let's break it down so that the average person can understand this. And first, let's go to social media.

A lot of people are operating under the premise that, uh, social media, you know, yeah, I may not like the people in charge of it, but my page is my page. I can post what I want. I can reach out to friends. But that's not what it is. There's intentionality behind the creation of social media. Can you discuss that with the audience?

Well, in that hypothetical assumption about social media, none of that is actually true. Like the algorithm is there to keep you hooked, to keep you addicted. It is literally designed by psychologists and experts in the fields that study human behavior and emotional responses to design these things to be as compulsive and obsessive as possible. And it's not good for anybody. It is manufacturing outrage.

It is creating this bubbles of reality where we cannot even agree on a single thing happening. We can see an event transpire in front of our eyes on TV and on camera from multiple angles. yet you would have so many different camps of different views on the same event, and these people just can't talk to each other because they are not on social media. They are talking over each other, and that's what the algorithms are really, let's say, propagating or building towards, because it just keeps you hooked. It keeps you more engaged, and it is harmful to each of us individually, because it's making us more stress and depressing.

about the state of the world. But it's also bad for the broader community, the society, country, nation, because it is polarizing us. It is very bad for this political process. We might call democracy. And it's just leading. I feel like it's a race to the bottom. That's how I would maybe categorize that. Yeah, I think that's incredibly well said. Can you just speak to, you know, this is something that I've warned the audience about. But many people, are sharing far too much information on social media. And can you talk a little bit about the dangers associated with that? I can, but I would say that the dangers go way beyond that.

Because I hear sometimes people tell me, oh, I don't worry about social media because I don't post anything personal there. But then I say, really, so you never liked anything. You never commented on a post. You never shared any kind of image or a comment or something that you liked. You never did any of that because all of that is personally. It doesn't mean that you're posting photos from your living room or something. It's also about all of these behaviors that you're doing.

They're all personal and they're all collected and there's this detailed profile about every single thing that you do. In one way, this profile is just there to try to predict your behaviors so that they can see where they can be more effective with the advertising. But in another way, all of that information is also part of this quote-unquote permanent record. where the data is just sitting there either in their data centers, but it's reserved for the government and the intelligence agencies to just get access to it without a warrant, by the way, because this is under the third-party doctrine, which means that it's a third-party service,

so you don't have an expectation of privacy, so they can just go there and study your behaviors too. And then they can build these profiles on the entire categories of people. It can be used to crush descent. dissent, it is oftentimes even used to violate people's constitutional rights, civil rights, especially the privacy rights against unreasonable search and seizure, but they're breaking their own rules and their own privacy guidelines about how they should be approaching these things. And I could easily name like cases of the FBI and even local police department just going

out of their way to collect this information, to go to these companies, either subpoena them, or just order them to give them that info. And most of it is just really coming from social media, from your usage of Instagram, Facebook, and even apps like WhatsApp, IMISich, and others that are not necessarily falling into that same category. Sure. Let's switch the conversation to cell phones,

because I want to put some time into this. Obviously, my audience knows I work for Mark 37. I've told you that as well. But most people are using either the iPhone are the Android systems. And both of these are absolutely horrible. I would say Apple's a little bit worse just because of the closed operating system, but they're both taking all of your data.

They're spying on you. You know, there's the annoying advertisements that come with this. People talk about it all the time. They have their phone and they're talking about needing a new refrigerator and all of a sudden refrigerator ads are showing up on their social media, things like that. That's the relatively benign, maybe annoying stuff. But government is also in here and they're spying on everything that you're doing.

Can you talk a little bit about this? Yeah, I could. I think maybe one way I like to explain this thing is this idea of consent. Like, if I told you a secret, I am giving a consent to like know that secret, like, so you know it. But I don't give you a consent to share my secret I just told you with other people. But when you are on your phone and you give an app a permission to, let's say, access your camera, or location. You're giving consent to the app, but also to every other partner that that app developer has some kind of deal with. And there could be other pieces of code called SDKs, software development

kits, that these third part, that developers are encouraged to install into their apps. And if you download, like gaming apps, fitness trackers, even prayer app and meditation apps and all kinds of stuff, they are loaded with code that you will never be able to audit. You will never be able to see what it's doing. But what it's doing behind the scenes is that it's collecting your location or other information that the app is collecting from you. And you thought that it's just about that singular app, whereas it could be about dozens, if not hundreds of other parties

that are interested in that app or have some kind of deal to just get your information from the developer. So whenever you install an app, you have to multiply that number by several orders of magnitude to realize how many third parties now have access to your information. And you don't know what those third parties are doing with your data. You mentioned government. They are giving it to government

but it doesn't have to be yours. It could be foreign governments. These apps, these ecosystems are operating internationally globally. It's not confined to just the borders of any single country. And they don't abide by really any kind of jurisdiction at all because they could be incorporated, in all these weird places and they could always say that you know you have clicked agree on that privacy policy or terms of service so you know everything

goes they're definitely not giving you a level of understanding that you should have they I feel like they're even violating your consent as a user because you're not giving this properly informed consent to what they're doing and it's just it's it's horrible I don't want to to to to say, you know, like, naughty words here, but it's the most horrible kind of thing that you could possibly imagine. Like, in the worst scenarios and sci-fi, that's really happening today with the mobile ecosystem. Yeah, you paint a terrifying picture, and I am right there with you. But the vast majority of the public, they just love the convenience, you know? I mean,

hey, you get your iPhone, you get your Android, and it's taking care of everything. And a lot of people are literally, they like the fact that the phone is tracking them because it makes life so much more convenient. This is a big lie that's been sold, but I get frustrated. I sometimes want to grab the mic and strangle it because the normies out there, a lot of them just don't care. Well, maybe they don't care or maybe they are not informed. So they're a real practical example of how this tracking of your information is actually

profoundly harming you, even in financial ways. So maybe people are used to getting services for free, like Google or I don't know, maybe some Apple services for free because they're not paying for them directly at the point of delivery. But you're paying in other ways. When you're supplying your data to these services and to these advertisers, that data circulates throughout the economy. It goes to these companies that are called risk assessors or risk scoring companies. They're using all kinds of algorithms and AI to build up these consumer. profiles or risk scoring profiles. You might know, for example, driver risk scores or these are like companies and car insurance companies, they give you scores based on like things they can now

pull off from the telemetry of your car, like how much you speed up and, you know, check and break and stuff. So they can like kind of like estimate how good of a driver you are or not. But they're doing this for like literally everything. Like if you go to Airbnb, and you communicate and use the app and all you provide all of that usage information to Airbnb Airbnb then goes out of its way to hire this risk scoring company and gives you this score and they will then really approach you differently in their customer service and customer support it's also in insurance this is a huge deal companies like Nexus Nexus do this they are giving insurance companies your risk

based on all of these behavioral data and information and profiles they've built up on you, on your purchasing records and browser habits and browser history and usage data from your phone. And they could literally raise your insurance premiums for healthcare or other plans that you might have for life insurance, for instance, based on those really, you could call this like surveillance capitalism methods. Like this is a business, this is not just the government, this is literally business, profiting off of knowing things about you, making decisions about you behind your back, and then making profit off of it. And maybe the last final thing that I would mention, this is to me the scariest one. Whenever you have to go to court, and especially in criminal court, you have these risk scores for defendants. And this is automated.

Judges literally use this as well as prosecutors, but judges do use this to determine your sentencing. to see if you're more likely to reoffend or not. And it's obviously it's coming from, it's pulling a lot of data that's from the real world, and there is a lot of bias, a lot of racial and ethnic bias, and a lot of actually biases against males, especially males of color,

but all males in general are just heavily biased against in the criminal court. And that's just this horrible idea where judges are kind of like delegating some of the responsibilities to these algorithms that are proprietary, meaning you can't audit them, You cannot vet them. And they're making decisions about whether or not the judge should think they should let you go or maybe you should serve a harsher sentence because of it.

Wow. That is not something that I was aware of. That's probably one of the scariest things I've heard. And I've been hosting this show for nearly a decade that the judicial system is literally looking at the algorithms to decide how extreme your sentence should be. Ladies and gentlemen, that doesn't wake you up. I don't know what will. You know, hated one. I've been through a lot of different events,

C-PACs and shot shows and things as of late, working for Mark 3-7, and we set a booth, and we're trying to get people to exit the system and get into a graphene OS foam. And one of the things that we consistently hear from people that I'd love to hear your thoughts on is, we'll get this statement. Well, I got nothing to hide, so I got nothing to hear or fear.

Now, they don't know that they're paraphrasing, using Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda for the Nazi party, but that's literally what they are saying. What would you say to somebody that says, I've got nothing to hide? Well, I would say all the things that I said just before, I would say, like, you had nothing to hide about, like, you want to pay more for the insurance premiums. You want to have a judge-make decisions about you with these algorithms that you can't even, like, appeal at all.

Like, these algorithms are built by companies you've never heard of before. These are like really smaller companies, no names. And all of these things are very viable. You can look them up on the New York Times. These articles are old. None of this information is actually new. I think this article is from like 2018 or 19. Companies like LexisNexis are really big.

These are like major companies that do all of this. And it's not about like you have nothing to hide. Like obviously you are a good person, so you have nothing to hide. I'm not going to say that you are a bad person. But for them, this is not about you having things to hide. For them, this is about power to make decisions about your life without you being part of that decision-making process. And I think if that doesn't convince anybody, I don't know what else will. Like, the last thing I actually forgot to mention in that previous portion was that also police are using these risk assessment, risk scoring tools.

And they're using it for locations to determine where a crime. is likely to happen, but they're also using on populations of people to determine who is more likely to commit crimes. And then they are like deploying more policing tools and personnel to those areas and to those populations. And all of this is problematic because like data is biased. It's imperfect. The algorithms are not open source, so we cannot actually have a community look at it and see if it's right. And it's all just this tech bro mindset that, we can just, you know, software, software engineer our problems away from society and we'll live in a utopia. But I think personally that these tech bros are just using these good intentions to really build up a massive hellscape for most of us. And I think we see a lot of that

manifests, in fact, in many things throughout the economy, like declining wages and increasing power day and stuff like that. So, yeah, kind of like a tangential response, but I don't know if I would say anything else other than what I had just said before. Sure. Yeah, no, I can appreciate that. Did you end up watching the movie Mercy? I just recently watched this, and I love dystopian books and dystopian films, and I think oftentimes they use that as a window to show us their plans.

But Mercy was really interesting where they built an AI system that was your judge, juror, an executioner. Were you able to see the film at all? No, but the judge jurors and executioner, For AI systems, that's pretty much already happening with these algorithms. Yeah, exactly what you're describing. Yeah, but interesting enough in the movie, they did show that the algorithms, the artificial intelligence, was capable of making mistakes. And, you know, Chris Pratt is the hero in it.

But I want people to start waking up. And if a film can do that, if a book can do that, then so be it. I would hope that people would be listening to episodes like this or following your channel. But unfortunately, four too many are just, they're watching TikTok videos of cats and things like that. And that's the bread and circus that Rome decided, or Rome showcased, I should say, of how to control the people. It's the same method. It's the same model. And it's still working.

Yeah, that's, that's a problem. It's something that really frustrates me. We need to get more people on board. It's the one thing is that you cannot really expect people to be uniformly informed about all of these issues and there's just so much to care about. And another thing is that people also have other problems. It's not just that they're watching TikTok videos, but it's also that they need to pay the bills. And it's harder to get a mortgage to get your own place to live in. I personally, for instance, kind of therefore my own place.

And it's something that, you know, you have to think about. And it just happens to be that my job is just to look at all of these horrible things. But if I was in a regular day-to-day job, I wouldn't have time or energy to do that job. And also now read all the important news and figure out what's real and what's not. And then also dedicated a lot of time to that activism. So I think we are crushed by the weight of the problems. You could call this polycrisis or multi-crisis. multiple cataclysmic things are happening at the same time.

And I think that's the way, that's under that way people are crushed into apathy, into just inaction, I think. Maybe that could be one of the reasons. No, I think you're absolutely spot on on that one. So let's transition this conversation to solutions. Because I want people to at least start taking some steps. And these are things that you can do that are relatively easy. You know, I'm not trying to tell everyone, You need to become this tech intellect that it's literally pulling your phone apart and reprogramming it. I'm not saying that. But there are certain things that you can do.

I'm going to throw a few out here. And then I'd love for you to interject. But doing something as simple as like stop using Google for your search engine and move to something like Brave. Or start using the Signal app for most of your communications. These are things that they're not perfect, but they certainly can help. They definitely are not perfect, but they will get you to a better place. And I would say that if you are really hardcore about this, then you just want to go straight to the best option you can have, then go for GraphenOS.

If you can't install GraphenOS yourself, there are some people that can't do it for you. There's this thing called attestation service. You should check the attestation of your installation to see if it hasn't been tampered with. But after that, you will have a device that you will never have to think about ever again. It will do all the security for you unless you mess things up, but you would have to be really proactively stupid to do that. And I know that it's a big step to get a graphene OS device, but it's just so powerful. It's just doing so many things for you at once that I think it's just the best thing to do. But if you don't want to do that, then yeah, choose alternatives that are free and open source, mostly.

focus on privacy and security. So instead of, like, you can replace the whole Google suite with open source alternatives. You can, you don't have to use the Microsoft Office 365, whatever. You can use Libra Office. It's completely free. It has all the features, all the apps. You don't have to use Google Drive. You can use Proton Drive.

Treasurated now Tutta has a drive-to. These are all based in European states. And you can use Signal, as you mentioned. Doug. Doug Go is another browser. Quants is based in not Switzerland Friends. Other options are available to. Yeah, instead of Windows or MacOS, you can use Linux.

Linux is incredibly easy to use. The first one to start with would be something like Linux Mint or Mangero or Fedora, if you're into that. But Linux Mint would be one of the best options for most people who are just new to this. So there is an open source alternative for all of these things that work really well. You don't have to sacrifice pretty much anything. And for the most part, they are actually free. Like, you don't even have to pay for them at all.

So, yeah, you have so many options today that it's really unjustifiable to have any excuses, I would say. Yeah, I am definitely right there with you. We're coming up on a hard break here. We've got about a minute left. So I want to showcase your YouTube here for the NRB TV audience. I highly recommend that you go and follow this guy. the hated one on YouTube. You can see it. Chris is bringing it up right there. A lot of followers on here. But with the last 45 seconds, can you just plug your YouTube page here?

Yeah, sure. Most of my videos are about privacy security, but they're also video essays into geopolitics, about several corporations. Some cases, like this guy who made the Bitcoin wallet and now going to prison for it is actually in prison. And so I go sometimes a little bit too deep, but some of my tutorials that you can follow are really for everybody, and so I feel like you will benefit greatly from just following the advice and recommendations. I appreciate that. So once again, I will echo that to the audience. YouTube, The Hated One, he's on there, and I highly recommend that you follow him or right there.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to come right back. The Hated One has agreed to stay on for another 15 minutes. Hey, this is Caleb Collier with the Church and State podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, I want all of you to go to Galileo.com. You need to stay connected, no matter. what comes our way. Whether it's government intrusion or a meteor falling from the sky, Galileo has you connected. As a Marine veteran, I can tell you that communications is essential. Galileo has you connected. Whether it's worldwide coverage, uncensored content, or real-time alerts, Galileo is going to

make sure that you're connected with your friends, family, and neighbors. Just head on over to church and state. media, scroll over to shop and hit galileo.com. Make sure to ask them for a free bivvy stick and make sure to use that promo code, church and state. And we are back and thank you for staying with us. You're over at church and state.com. We're going to go right back to our guest, but real quick, I do have to plug one of our affiliates. And actually, I'm going to do this in reverse order, Chris, because I want actually to bring the hated one on when we start talking about Mark 3.7. So I'm just going to say, hey, hit the donate button for us one more time. It's a reminder to you that we do need to help to keep on the air. And as I say so often on the show,

you're hearing conversations that you're not really hearing anywhere else. And so if you like the content and some of the guests that we're bringing on, please consider donating. Now with that, I'm going to go over to mark 37.com. And I want to bring the hated one back into it as we plug these guys. Obviously, I work for them. I always tell you guys that. But I want to hear, because what the hated one was talking about, graphene OS, right? A lot of people are going to be like, what exactly is that it sounds difficult to put it on your own phone? And, Chris, if you can bring up the website for Mark 37, I appreciate it. But we do everything for you here at this company.

You are getting a pixel phone. And you hated one, you can jump in here. But pixel phones, that's the easiest one to grab Graphene OS and install it. So we de-google it, put the GrapheneOS on there, and then have just open source apps. and I love to hear your thoughts about that. We're also selling Linux computers. You can see that on the laptop side, but I love to hear your thoughts on this.

Well, I haven't a time to actually look too deep into what you're doing here, but I would say that whenever you're getting a phone from someone, even like you guys, you have to go through the attestation service and verify the installation. The attestation service works in a cryptographic manner that cannot be broken, so it verifies whether the installation is actually valid or not. This is just to make sure that you guys did the good job and you're not some kind of a federal honeypot Trying to steal people's information. So it just exists there and it's a service that GrapheneOS provides directly

So the website for GraphenOS is Graphenoise.org and they'll do this for you for free. I mean you have to like do the Additation yourself. All you need is to have your Graphene noise device and whatever else other device for the attestation. You're literally just scanning QR codes and that's all. And what that will do is that's just, as I said, verify that installation to really be sure that it's valid. But I would say that if you have the courage, feel free to install Graphenoise yourself from the GraphenOS.org website. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but by the way, it's just, it's a lot easier today to do that install. I started with GraphenOS when you had to go through the command line and use the Linux terminal and all that stuff.

And it was fun still, not too difficult, but I know that a lot of people just don't want to see a command line. So there is now a different way. It's called the web installer, and you literally use your web browser to install GrapheneOS on your phone. And you don't have to worry about breaking anything. It's really foolproof, and you can just do it yourself. And that way you will really feel empowered that you can just do this without needing to rely on anyone. But again, if some people just don't want to do this because they feel like they could break something, which is very unlikely.

But if you feel like you don't want to do that, then yeah, go ahead and purchase one of these devices, but make sure to always go through the station. Yeah, I appreciate what you're saying there. You know, the honeypot, fed honeypot, I agree. And I tell people all the time, like, don't trust me. Like, do your own research here. I do love working for this company.

I love the products. I know for myself, it's been extremely beneficial. And I was one of those guys. I mean, I joke all the time. I was a Marine. I eat crayons. Like, I'm not a tech guy. And so being able to just purchase the phone, purchase the laptop and just be up and running was really convenient for me.

But once again, I agree with you. Make sure that we're doing what we're doing. And we're not afraid of that at Mark 3.7. Like, if you want to test us, test us where we are, we stand behind our products right here. And I will just say, use the coupon code, church and state on there. Hayed one, I wanted to ask you something you just said there. installing GraphiaOS yourself, because you can't do this on all phones, correct? No, only the supported phones, which currently are the pixel phones that are still getting the

firmware updates, which means they're just within the end of life support. Yeah, and that's what we tell people. One of the things when we were talking about simple things that you can do, I would say to everyone who is currently using Apple products, stop it. You got to get out of that closed operating system. A lot of people say that it's more secure. You guys don't understand what you're dealing with here. I'd love your take on this.

Well, the Apple ecosystem is more secure than most regular Android phones, but the thing about Android is that it's an ecosystem of phones. You don't have one single Android like you do have one iPhone and that's it. Every single manufacturer of Android phones is going to have a different approach vastly, different. The Samsung Android phone is going to be totally different than Oneplus or the pixel. And the benefit of the pixels is that Google has really put a lot of research into securing that phone as much as possible. And it's the most secure Android out of all of them. And you can be skeptical of the reasons why Google did this. And I would tell you that the easy answer is they did not

do this for your benefit, that it is for their own benefit, because they want you to be able to use that phone as a wallet for financial services and all that stuff. So they're securing themselves against potential liability. So they're making their phone very secure. But secure does not mean private. So your phone can still not be private because you are logging into your Google account and Google is then collecting your information. The problem is that people think that, oh, well, Apple made that app. They told in that app that what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone. In my view, I'm surprised that nobody has sued Apple, and this would be like literally legal advice, I would say, because how is this possible to say? Apple is literally lying in an advertisement telling you that what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone.

That is categorically not true. Apple is collecting exactly the same amount of information and same quality of information as Google is collecting for all of the services that they have equal equivalent parts for. So Apple does not have a search engine, so you cannot make comparisons there. But for everything else, Apple is just collecting an equal amount of data about you. And they have these defaults that are just terrible for you. And the thing about the ecosystem being locked down, well, that's pretty bad for Apple, because on Android and even on pixel phones, you have the benefit of actually removing your Google account from there. And not only that, you can actually remove Google apps from there.

Have your phone now be completely anonymous because it is not connected to any online account whatsoever, which is a benefit. And then you can still install apps from third-party sources like Android and you can get apps on Android still directly from developers. This is not possible on the iPhone. You cannot get a working iPhone without the Apple ID. And now Apple is being forced to open up with allowing some third-party options to install apps, but you still have to have the Apple ID, which means that Apple will tie your phone to your identity and will forever collect that information. Google will do that too, but you can remove that from your phone. You have that freedom which just simply does not exist on Apple.

So the fact that Android can be made so much more private and secure and anonymous, just really I would have to agree with your conclusion there that I would never recommend Apple to anybody. Yeah, I think we settled the debate right there because you do, I would say more on the Apple side and the Android. Android users are just kind of like it's a tool. Whereas I joke on this show all the time that iPhone users are like the Jehovah Witnesses of the tech world. They'll literally knock on your door to tell you about the new iPhone 17. And they're very proud of their product like they have some investment in it. But it's just, honestly, it's just propaganda. It's an agenda that people have bought into. And I think you, you, you. put that very succinctly that there is literally no reason for you to be using an iPhone, ladies and gentlemen. And I would say even like beginning steps, if you are like, I don't know, like I don't know about all of this, just simply going from an iPhone to an Android so you start getting used to the operating system would be a step in the right direction.

I mean, it's not at all a great one, but it's at least that initial step. What would you say about that hated one? Well, I wouldn't say any Android because there are Android phones still out there that do not get security updates. And that's very important. This means that if you have a phone or any device for the matter that is not up to date, it means that there are vulnerabilities in that software that are publicly available. They are free for anyone in the world to abuse and exploit to hack into your phone. So you never want to be in a situation where you have a phone that is not up to date.

Now, Apple has an update policy for up to, I think, five years for their latest phones. Google, I think, is supporting their latest phones for up to seven years, and some other Android manufacturers like Samsung are also supporting their phones for five years. Not every Android manufacturer is doing this, especially if you go for the really cheap options. So be careful there. And if you want to choose and can choose between, different Android phones respective of the budget and you can go for something for something that's for about like five hundred dollars then I would go for the

pixel even if you are not going to install GrapheneOS on it the pixel phone even if it's from Google is going to be more secure and also more private than something from literally any other any other vendor and then if you're familiar with with Android if you're really going from the iPhone then I would say you can install Gaffing OS on it later on. Yeah, I like that advice very much. And forgive me for that.

I meant to say pixel and I just said Android. But yeah, I would highly recommend everyone at least get a pixel phone and then start doing things like using Brave, using Signal, using proton mail. These are all solutions that will reduce the amount of surveillance upon you. Obviously, the end goal is to get you into Graphene OS and when it comes to the laptop using Linux as well. But yes, you definitely want to get into the more privacy-focused apps. Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. Excellent. All right. Well, hey, we're winding down here, but I wanted to make sure that I'm promoting you again because that's just kind of how I operate the show. The hated one on YouTube. Chris, if you can bring that up once again. The hated one, almost 500,000 subscribers.

So people are obviously paying attention to what you're talking about here. But once again, promote the show. And then just end. Any last advice for the audience here? You know, I really want to get it through people's heads that there are solutions and they're actually not all that complicated. Yeah. Well, thanks for the opportunity to talk to this audience. I'm really stoked to see what people have to say.

And I'm trying to talk to everybody, as I said. And you alluded at the beginning of this show that we are too divided and too polarized and focusing on what divides us more than where we could be united. kind of like paraphrasing what you said there but yeah that's that's what my channel is really about like i'm i'm very non-partisan i do have my beliefs i probably am not going to agree with most of you folks but that's fine i would say um for for all of the issues i meant to say um if we can agree on some things where we can work together on and if i can enlighten you on some things that you know you would probably agree on the spectrum of moral and ethics that that's wrong, what a company is doing or what a government is doing, then, yeah, you will find plenty of value here.

And I'm not just making these videos. I'm also making this podcast that's for now just on Patreon. And so there are some episodes that are free and some are behind a paywall. And I go really deep into all the things that I just don't have the time to make a video on YouTube for. and I think the best, the biggest benefit of what I do is the research. I just do so much research for every single piece of content that I make that you would literally spend hours on top of listening to my episodes and watching my videos to actually study everything that I talk about.

And my research is always coming from the most reputable outlets, it's always fact-checked, and I do everything myself because I cannot really afford to hire like editors and all that stuff, but that's where I dedicate most of my time to. And if you appreciate like this truth-finding kind of like endeavor, then I feel like it would be the right place. Well, can I just say that I so appreciate you coming on here. And, you know, coming from different perspectives, like this is what we need. You know, I don't know where you align politically. You probably have some assumptions where I align. And I even said, in the beginning of show that I'm a libertarian.

But we need to have people who have differing opinions, are willing to come in and just discuss what we have in common, what we can work together towards. I want to see that so much more in America, instead of this intentional divide, that literally the elites are pushing upon us and we're hating people just because they root for the wrong sports team. So just thank you for coming on here

and having a really great conversation about this. Thank you, too. And I have to say that maybe I'm a little bit different than most people are on the different sides of the political spectrum. But I am very intellectually curious, and I don't really have a problem if people have different beliefs from mine. I think that's all fine. I do have a problem when people don't want to learn, and I have a problem when people are not principled. So if people have a belief in a cult of personality, like for you know, for you, instance, if their current administration does something that they would criticize other administrations for, and then they are refusing to apply the same standard, that I have a big problem with that,

because that's very hard to actually work with. Like, what do I do with that? Like, I cannot, can I actually have any argument against that? There are, like, logical fallacies that are happening at that point, and, you know, it's hard to do anything, anything about that. But if a person is really curious and they want to have an honest discussion or debate about anything, I'm always there and I guess my only problem is that I'm a little bit socially awkward so I cannot really tell if somebody is getting really annoyed by me always pushing back and always talking and being skeptical. But that's not me trying to be offensive or anything like that. It's just me not getting the social clues as fast as I should. But I really mean.

mean in this positive way. I'm trying to be more welcoming. Yeah, but that's it. Yeah. Well, amen to that. I mean, if you criticized Barack Obama for getting us into foreign wars, but won't criticize Donald Trump for the same thing, then you need to check yourself and really ask some questions internally about what you truly believe. So I echo exactly what you said right there. Well, hey, it has been an awesome show. to close us out. If you hold on one more minute post-production to say our goodbyes, I'd appreciate it. But thank you again for your time and for your work. Thank you.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, there you go. Go check them out, the hated one on YouTube. I hope you enjoyed the conversation. I hope that you can see that people who may have differences can come together on specific issues and address things and just be curious, ask those questions. Ladies and gentlemen, that's what I want for you. Church and State is brought to you in part by Colonialized, Spokane, Independent Agents, Finders Insurance, and Mark37.com. I'm Caleb Collier.
