The DOJ has launched an aggressive criminal probe into the Democrats in Alaska because, well, we got this massive bombshell report from the New York Times. They're outright saying that the Democrats in Alaska started the scheme to get the second Dan Sullivan on the ballot with campaign aides instructing staffers to comb through a list of names and find a Dan Sullivan. Here's what you've got to understand. Dan Sullivan's the Republican incumbent. The Democrats intentionally sought to confuse voting.

Committing an overt act of voter fraud, the litany of laws that they may have violated here is insane. They found a fake Dan Sullivan, put him on the ballot. Now Donald Trump says that he wants the Democrat prosecuted over this ineligible. He's saying Dan Sullivan should just win. And we're learning now from Fox News that there is a criminal probe underway following support. Now the Democrat in Alaska has responded. She's furious, but this is absolutely crazy, guys. we all know it. We all know they did it. It's getting absolutely nuts. And then, in the other side, James O'Keefe and Cam Higbee have been charged with felonies for a stunt they pulled in Minnesota, where Cam Higby dressed in a full blackout macab, and then they used fake names to try and get access to votes. And they didn't actually vote or sign any papers. They were just seeing if they would be welcoming to vote. And for that Minnesota saying, yeah, well, that was illegal too. So holy crap, we're going to talk about all that.

And then, uh, Hassan Piker is suing Scott Jennings. That's just fun drama before midterm, I guess. We do have more information on the Ilhan Omar case and what's going out with her. So we'll talk about all of that. It's going to be, I guess it'll be a hoot, my friends. So smash that like button, share the show and all that good stuff. Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else. We've got Andrew James.

How's it going? Thank you for having me. Absolutely. Who are you? What do you do? I am a documentary filmmaker. And I have a film coming out in, two weeks called Generation COVID, that is essentially an anti-lockdown film, but it's the story of

the pandemic through the lens of some kids and also some families. So it's a film that kind of deconstructs what happened, but with a focus on kids and sort of the impact on society. Interesting. Oh, it should be fun. Thanks for hanging out. We got you. You know, you're a local wonk, so you have to introduce yourself. My name is Adrio Gonzalez. I'm the news and opinion editor at the Daily Caller. I'm happy to be here. Yeah, I'm excited to talk about the news of the day. We're six days out, so.

It's going to be big. It's going to be big. Rebecca brought this guy. I did. He's my co-worker, and might I say, one of my favorite co-workers. So I'm excited for the show. And, yeah, it's another FOIDCast episode. Another FordCast.

Every time you're here, it's thrilled. That's it. Well, it's supposed to be when you host the show, it's whatever. You know, like, Seamus here is like Shimcast. You know what I mean? Shimcast. It's just Floydcast, if there's a woman here at all. at all. Yeah. Hello, everybody. My name's Phil. What's going on, Carter?

Dude, doing pretty good over here. Rebecca, thanks for bringing the goat, as you mentioned. Doug O, all caps. Thanks for coming, dude, and as well. Let's go. We got some news. Before we get into that, we got a great sponsor for you, my friends. It is keet.io. Make sure you go to k-e-e-e-t.0 forward-slash-timcast-I-R-L. My friends, encryption matters. But encryption and architecture are not the same thing. Many messaging apps encrypt your conversations while still routing them through company-operated infrastructure. That creates an intermediary and a central system that users are required to trust. Keat removes that central infrastructure.

It's a free, end-to-end encrypted messenger built on peer-to-peer technology. You can send messages and files and make audio or video calls without a company server holding your conversation history. Keat doesn't require your phone number or email and it doesn't collect your metadata. That's the difference. Not another promise that a central platform will behave responsibly, but a system designed to know as little about you as possible. Come see it for yourselves, my friends. We've got our own private channel on Keat.

It's where you'll get updates from Timcast, exclusive breakdowns, cool stuff. You guys got to check it out, k-eet.io, forward slash Timcast. It'll be sent straight to you, no algorithm, no phone number, no email, no middleman. Check it out. Guys, thanks for sponsor on the show. and don't forget to buy coffee. You guys, you gotta buy coffee. Appalachian nights, I personally formulated this,

got a bunch of samples, know what coffee flavor profiles I like, mixing together. This wasn't intended to be our bestseller, but it quickly became our best seller because it's really good. I genuinely think it is the best coffee I've ever had. So go to casprue.com, use promo code IRL20,

You will get that discount permanently, even after the promo code expires. It'll still be good. So go do that. Check it out. Let's jump into the news. We've got the report from timcast.com breaking Democrats under criminal probe over voter fraud scheme in Alaska. Federal prosecutors are reportedly investigating how a second Dan Sullivan landed

on Alaska Senate ballot hours after a New York Times report tied Democrats to recruiting him. And President Trump called for Mary Patole. to be prosecuted. The Justice Department is conducting an aggressive criminal investigation into how Daniel J. Sullivan, a candidate who shares the same name as Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, ended up on Alaska's U.S. Senate ballot. Fox News correspondent David Spunt reported Wednesday, citing two sources familiar with the matter. According to Spunt's sources, the probe intensified after a bombshell New York Times report

earlier in the day, multiple grand jury subpoenas are expected to go out in the coming hours and days. And investigators are preparing preservation orders. to cell phone carriers for texts and emails that could show how Daniel J. Sullivan got on the ballot. Check this out from the New York Times, my friends. This is a nuclear bomb just before the midterms. They say inside Democrats' secret effort to stack Alaska's ballot, operatives aligned with Mary Peltola, the Democratic nominee for Senate, spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from Dan Sullivan, the Republican. First paragraph, in the summer of 2025, a staffer for Mary Peltola,

The Alaska Democrat, who was eyeing a run for the Senate, received unusual instructions from top campaign aides. Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can. The staffer complied, combing through voter records to produce a list of Dan Sullivan's from across the state. There was no, this was no random request. Dan S. Sullivan is the name of the state's Republican senator. And if the Peltolla campaign or its allies could track down and persuade another Dan Sullivan

to run for Senate, the confusion. could cause the senator crucial votes on the state's unusual four-person ballot. The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska panhandle, reachable only by Aaron C., announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan. The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy, but the Times has found, based on interviews and texts,

along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Pell told his team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent support and help catapult the Democrat to victory. The endeavor, which was internally called the Ballot Composition Project, involved secret trips to far-flowing Alaska communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative

who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-beenid candidates overbeard, and brew pubs. I'm going to go ahead and say right now, we need emergency filings on this. If it is true that Mary Peltola was actually involved in this, she needs to be disqualified immediately, don't care. We cannot have, we cannot have a functioning government if this woman is allowed to run and win after we know she cheated and committed a potentially series of crimes. So many of you may be wondering, what specific crime is it to recruit some. someone to run for office. Law doesn't work that way. It's the interpretation of the law and what you have. So let's go through a list of potentials for what may have been, what the crimes here.

Obvious conspiracy. A group of people got together to commit voter fraud. You've got wire fraud, election fraud, false information about voting or candidacy, false statements, perjury. You've got mail fraud. You've got conspiracy against rights, conspiracy to defraud the United States, violations of the National Voter Registration Act, fraudulent misrepresentations of campaign authority, 18 USC 1001 false statements. You've got mail fraud that was mentioned, aiding and abetting, anybody who worked for these people, whether they were involved in the conspiracy or not. And then you have state statutes, voter misconduct in the first degree, campaign misconduct

to the second degree, unlawful interference in an election, and other broad state election code false statements and perjury. There's a bunch of other crimes that may have been committed here. If this turns out, look, I'm going to say it like this. I want to say it. The New York Times said it is. The New York Times is saying outright, they did. It is, it happened. If that's the case, it's a statement of fact. Now, obviously, for any kind of criminal penalties, you're going to have to prove it

beyond a reasonable doubt. We'll need criminal charges and all of that stuff. For the time being, I think there needs to be an emergency injunction filed suspending Mary Peltola from the ballot. And a judge is going to have to oversee that. Or, I mean, I don't know how you have an election a week from now. knowing that what the New York Times has published. Now, there's a difference between a statement from the New York Times and a statement from a judge adjudicating the results of this.

This is going to be particularly difficult because if in the event she does win this race, what is she going to be disqualified a month later? They're going to say, you know what? She's not going to Congress because she gets convicted or a judge says we're putting an injunction down. And then there's no senator from Alaska. This is absolutely insane. I mean, look, yeah, this kind of stuff, like things like this kind of manipulation of ballots or manipulation of who's actually on the ballot and stuff, this kind of goes to the point that I was

making last night, which is we have passed the point of being able to go back to normal, you know, politics as usual. That kind of stuff is over. It probably ended probably 10 years ago. When Barack Obama was elected, the left and the Democrats really did think that It basically was going to be the end of real politics in the United States. They figured the actual contest was going to be who was going to be nominated to become the Democrat. And then whoever ended up becoming the Republican nominee, well, they would obviously be beat. That's why Hillary Clinton was behaving as if she had a lock on it long before. The media was saying, oh, Donald Trump has 1% chance.

And then when Donald Trump actually won, the left became apoplectic. they decided that they were not going to let that happen again. And we're going to see more and more efforts like this, things that are questionably legal or totally illegal being done by Democrats to get back into positions of power. And I've said it before. If the Democrats ever get into a position where they have the House, the Senate, and the presidency, they will make sweeping changes to the laws and to the laws of the United States and to the Constitution if they can to ensure that they never are removed from power again. We will no longer be a representative democracy.

The American people will not really have a say. I don't think we're representative democracy at all anymore anyway. Well, I mean, you can think that. But I think that the fact that Donald Trump was elected and got into office after Joe Biden, granted, it was a terrible idea to run Biden and it was a terrible idea to have Kamala Harris run again. But Donald Trump won handily.

I think that... I'm sorry, but you got to look big picture. the left believes that Elon Musk rigged the election utilizing Starlink and other internet constructs. The right thinks that Joe Biden stole the election in 2020. The Democrats think that the Republicans stole the election in 2016. We have in 10 years, we have not had an election that everyone agrees was an election. So yeah, you can say, yes, Trump actually won, but I would argue that maybe like half the people who think Trump legitimately won in 24 think Biden from Trump in 2020, none of the Democrats agree that any of any of the elections from Republicans

have ever been legitimate. So we are not in a country where people are saying like, you know, I voted and I lost and that's the will of the people. We're in a country where no matter what happens, they're saying those evil mother efforts just stole it again. And so now when you're looking at what they're willing to do with these fake polls, I mean, this is the complete breakdown of the election system. 2020 was a breakdown. January 6 was a breakdown. 2024 looked really, really good to be completely honest. But now we've got fake polls, two pollsters proven to be fake, and a third that is now believed to be fake that went dark. And you've got Democrats running schemes to steal elections, not to mention voter fraud where they're not checking

signature, I'm sorry, mail-in votes, where they're not checking signatures and efforts from various cities to allow non-citizens to vote. Not to mention, we just had the DOJ come out and say they got 400 non-citizens who voted some collective 1,500 times. So, so you do that. So you then you make my point for me, right? We, the days of politics as usual have gone. This is the future. This is what we can look forward to. And as much as, you know, I hate to, hate to admit it, things are not going to be getting better. Now, I still believe that we do have the ability to to slow the degradation of the United States. But I don't see a significant change in the way that the Democrat Party, you know, behaves because they truly believe that they're trying to fight

fascism and yada, yada, yada. They feel totally justified. Absolutely. That's the problem. That's why calling everybody a Nazi is such a problem. You just grab your mic and pull it right there. They just feel totally justified in all that because they think they've got this moral sort of position that they can, that supersedes all this stuff.

And that's and that's really the crux of it, in my opinion. I agreed with everything said, but I want to point out that even for Democrats, this is so crazy. I mean, it's not even, there's no illusion as to what could have possibly been going on. I mean, the Poltola campaign, they denied this whole time that they had any involvement with the fact that a guy with the same exact name as the Republican incumbent just appeared all of a sudden and, you know, could potentially be a spoiler for a very contentious Senate race. You know, we had nothing to do with it even though it's so convenient that it happened for us. And obviously, it turns out that it appears they very much had something to do with it. And it was, it was never a question to anybody who read the set of. and was like, huh, I wonder how this could have happened.

But, I mean, even for Democrat standards, this is like a crazy, this is a cartoonish scheme. It's so, it's so ridiculous. It's not funny. This is, unfortunately, this is the norm now, though. It's this kind of stuff. I mean, if you look at the things that Ilhan Omar, Ilhan Omar or Ilhan Saeed or whatever has been accused of, that's basically cartoonish. It's like completely ridiculous that someone would not only think that this is going to work,

but actually it would work. getting to Congress. We were talking a little bit about this yesterday, about how if you talk to somebody who's maybe apolitical or just doesn't pay attention to news as closely as some of us might, because it's literally our job, you'll tell them something that is very mainstream, like a very mainstream democratic policy,

and they'll look at you like, you're crazy. They're like, what are you talking about? These books in school or, you know, or transgender surgeries for illegals, whatever. It literally sounds cartoonish, but it's real. And I'm glad my critique was that a lot of the reason why people don't, people view these things as, like, they, skeptically, they kind of call into question whether or not that's actually true and sort of rolled their eyes at it, is because

media doesn't cover it, mainstream media outlets that, you know, everyday Americans who, again, maybe don't pay attention to politics as closely as we do, they still view these institutions as legitimate and as, you know, trustworthy. And so to see an outlet like the New York, like the New York Times, legitimize the story, I think, is promising. I don't want to get too optimistic, but I will, you know, give credit where credits do, because this is definitely it's an important story that needs to be covered. I think, I mean, even two points there is like, this is the story with the New York Times' spin on it.

So, like, we're seeing this through their filter, which is, like, God knows what's really out there. And I think going back to just how cartoonish this whole plan is, is, like, the campaign didn't think, like, any steps ahead. They went out, recruited this guy who lives in this, like, remote island, and they thought, you know, no one's ever going to find out. And what is a Democratic voter meant to think in Alaska today? You know, are they still going to vote for her?

her, you know, it's like, yes. Well, yes, they are, but the thing is, is like, the campaign is not thinking at all it steps ahead. We live in a digital age where you obviously are going to get exposed in this. We have reporters running around. You think everyone's just going to not bat at that. Democrat voters are going to clap and say, thank God someone's finally fighting the fascists. Definitely.

Yeah, I think they feel totally justified. The moral superiority trumps any sense of legality or norms or whatever. we want to describe it, they just don't care about that. They think beating the fascism is the most important. The fascism is the most important. Well, look, I mean, if you were, if you look back at history and your total understanding of

basically the whole 21st century was Hitler was bad, and we should have prevented Hitler from getting into power, and you were conditioned to think that any Republican is basically the reincarnation of Hitler, no matter how milk toast their policies are.

Because remember, Mitt Romney was being called the Nazi. For sure. You know, the most inoffensive Republican that you could possibly come up with was being called a Nazi. When you've been conditioned for 20, 30 years to look at every conservative as if they are the reincarnation of Hitler, well, what would you do to stop Hitler? Because the proper thing to do to stop Hitler is basically anything. Break the law, whatever it takes, because Hitler started World War II and killed, you know, six million Jews and blah, blah, blah, all of the terrible things that Hitler did. So, yeah, the, the, the, the proper. thing to do is to prevent that guy from getting into power.

The problem is these people live in a fantasy world. They live in a world where they are Iron Man or they are Black Widow or they're... Harry Potter. Yeah, they're Harry Potter or they're Ray Skywalker, whatever. Right. They believe that they have the special knowledge, like some kind of gnaustic craziness going on. They believe they have this inside knowledge and only they and their friends know exactly what Trump is thinking. And once he gets, you know, once he gets, you know, the right things.

in line, then it's going to be like all the brown people go into a gigantic, you know, blender and we just send, you know, shoot them all over the place like a paste or whatever. They're literally crazy, literally crazy. They believe they believe that deportations are equivalent to sending people to the gas chambers. And the problem is you cannot reason with these people. And when you talk about like the normies that don't see any of these, these stories covered in the mainstream media, it is a great point that the New York. Times is covering this. At the very least, you have an anchor to say, look, the New York Times

is talking about this. Even the New York Times is talking about it. So then you could, if you were talking to your, you know, your, you're a Democrat friend or whatever, and you were like, look, this is, this is actually happening. And this kind of stuff actually happens more than, than the regular news or whatever news outlet you tend to watch will report. That's a good thing. but you still have people that are like, nah, nah, I don't buy it. I don't believe it. Yep. And it all sort of blew up, I feel, during the pandemic.

You saw the media very selectively covering things during the pandemic and created this false sense of reality where people are basically living in two separate realities. And that has continued through until today. Well, I've talked about that like regularly on the show. I think that COVID kind of broke people. Like institutions had been losing trust from the American people. If you looked at a poll before COVID, basically nobody trusted the government, or fewer people trusted the government. The military people still trusted.

But like just generally institutions overall, the church they didn't trust. They didn't really didn't trust the media as much as they used to. They kind of knew that there was strong partisanship in the media and stuff. but then when COVID happened it just broke people's brains they were just like you know once people were found out that you know two weeks to slow

the spread was BS and social distancing was just BS and you can only walk this way down this aisle and you have to walk the other way like you know directional aisles at Walmart and you know masks were not actually working and you know you get the shot and then you're good

but then oh wait a minute you have to get a booster and then oh wait a minute now you don't have get one booster. The efficacy was always lower, lower every week. Yeah, so that just ruined people's trust. But people have short-term attention. They have short-term memories and they have no tension span. And now, you know, five, six years on, people completely forgot all of that stuff happened.

There's people today who you will see. There's not many, but in the nation's capital, there's probably more than in normal places like Montana, walking around with like N-95s in the big two to six. Because people are, they're not okay. And I don't, I mean, it's kind of like funny, but it's also sad, you know. And I don't know if, April, you can speak to this because we actually, fun fact, we both worked at a grocery store in college. And I worked at this grocery store during COVID. And the types of people that you would interact with on a daily basis who were so just in a totally different world, so neurotic,

there was a whole new job created at the grocery store where you have to stand at the door and give people hand sanitizer. And I was wiping down like grocery carts. I was, I bagged someone's groceries and they made me stand away for like, because to clear the air. People were making up their own science on the spot. Like, it was the craziest. It was the most, one of the most fascinating, like also craziest experiences. My life is working at a grocery store during COVID. Everyone simultaneously became an expert on the topic, but also no one could say anything that like negated their reality because we needed to listen to the experts.

Yeah. So it was like this crazy dichotomy. We used to count people to get into the store. Yeah. They were, well, because we both worked at the grocery store in California. So, like, they're all these weird. You have to count how many people were in there. You have to give people handsentizer.

And then there would be, like, the one guy, like in the Norman Rockwell painting and standing up in the pews, who would show up without a mask being like, I have a medical exemption. And everyone would lose their minds. People would, it was, I totally blocked out of my memory because it was kind of a crazy. I'm sure you spoke into a lot of people who had worse experiences than me. But, yeah, it's just one. We did get a response from Mary Pell. Tola pertaining to the New York Times. This is just another distraction.

It's another diversion. Every day it's some new, you know, look over here moment. Not Dan Sullivan, registered Republican, incumbent, voted for this war in Iran 14 times. Lisa Murkowski quit voting for that war in Iran six months ago. And he's doubling and tripling down. And this is not somebody who... I think we need substantial. more serious penalties for people like this and the things that they're doing.

I think it's like life in prison. I think that if you were caught engaged in any kind of voter fraud or election manipulation and convicted, it's a mandatory life sentence. I mean, it'd be nice to have any kind of accountability. Yeah. It's funny because she was like, every day it's a diversion as if the Dan Sullivan scheme. Wasn't the biggest diversion. Yeah.

Now, this woman's out of her mind. Yeah. I think you have to be like pretty evil to like stare at your voters. the face and after getting you know red caught red-handed like doing the absolute worst thing you could do for this election is to just quite literally just cheat and pull pull it up to you more okay yeah like straight up you say everybody and um like this she's just evil the end of the day that's the truth i mean for lack of a better term i i i think that that you know that is fairly right but again, just like it is war.

This is. It totally is. Get power by any means necessary. And this is basically like the recruiting phase where she's like, I just need to get people to do what I say. And because there are still so many people who don't know what's going on, there is legitimacy in holding these offices that will result in people. Let me throw it to Matt Taibi, he had his report a few years ago. He said, we're dangerously close to the phase where two vehicles are driving full speed towards a police. station, two men jump out, one from each car, and run up to the police chief, and they point

to each other and say, arrest that man. The fight for legitimacy is at that point, the police chief looks at these two people and he sees a guy who lost an election and guy who won an election, who is he going to listen to? The guy who won the election. That's what they're trying to do right now. But make no mistake, I mean, what we are seeing with this and what we're seeing with just Democrats in general is by any means necessary. They don't care about what is best for you. They're basically circling the wagons right now around their power structures,

and it is going to get real bad. I mean, look at the... I could foresee the United States being in a situation that Brazil's in right now, you know, very easily. Bolsonaro has been, you know, spirited off in the night, likely by... Whisked away. Like, likely by CIA, right?

And they had ordered his arrest. There were a bunch of politicians that were opposing... that have been arrested in in South America. I'm sorry, in Brazil, which isn't in South America, but yeah, that kind of stuff. Like that's not just happening in in Brazil. Like you see extra judicial or extra legal things happening when a right leaning candidate gets too much power or gets too much influence in Europe, right?

Like the AFD, everybody's aligning against the AFD in Germany and and you see investigations into I think Maloney I think was her name in Italy was it yeah she there was investigations into her because she had the audacity to say things that people liked and and you know get too much popularity these kind of things are happening across the Western world and even in like I said and even in South America so this is not unique to the United States this is kind of the sign of our times the far left is not is no longer just, you know, a far left in the United States or a far left in South America or what have you. Breaking down USAID really brought the, you know, made the rats scatter and they're trying

their best to acquire as much as they can. The terrifying thing to me is that we have a giant mass of brainwashed cultists in this country. I saw a comic on Instagram that was like some lefty thing. And it was mocking, it was like Elon Musk was in heaven and they were like, oh, you don't, you don't to go to heaven, you've got to go back to Earth. And they were like, oh, you're going to be reborn as a child in Africa. And then Elon's like sweating. And it's like, but don't worry, there's a program from the United States to provide aid to these countries. It's called USAID. This is the propaganda that they produce. And they produce as propaganda ignorantly and willfully. At the highest levels, there are people who know full well USAID was not an aid organization.

It was cleverly named US aid. But what it really did was political. manipulations and influence campaigns and color revolutions. But for these run-of-the-mill lefties, they genuinely believe in their cult because they won't look it up. They won't even Google what USAID is, that USAID was an American aid relief program that provided food and water to the hungry. And then they produce propaganda saying that they, you know, they want to take the lives of billionaires. And they live in that crackpot world. They want to believe it too. Yeah. It's not like they, it just confirms all of their biases. And that's, it's, they want to believe that Elon Musk is bad.

They want to believe that Donald Trump is bad. They don't care what's true. And maybe Donald Trump is bad. I have a sort of complicated relationship with Donald Trump. But, you know, they, they are an occult, and they have no interest in thinking about it differently because it's confirming all of these things that they want to feel and want to believe. It's part of the culture. They want to fit in. They want to be cool with their group, and it's all part of that. Let's grab this story from NBC News. Conservative influencer James

O'Keefe charged with unlawful voting and identity theft in Minnesota. O'Keefe was charged alongside fellow influencer Cam Higby. They're accused of misrepresenting themselves at polling places during Minnesota's primary in August. They say a Minnesota prosecutor charged James O'Keefe, conservative provocateur. This is just, it's all fake news. They charged James O'Keefe and Cam Higman Wednesday with felony counts of unlawful voting and identity theft after they showed up at polling places in August using the names of registered voters. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who announced the charge of the news conference, accused the pair of entering polling places during state primary elections on August 11th and identifying themselves using the names of registered voters in those precincts without those voters' knowledge or permission. Quote, excuse me, both men stop short of signing the oath. We all sign before receiving our ballot, she said.

but Minnesota law states clearly that no individuals shall intentionally misrepresent their identity in applying for a ballot. O'Keeve and Higby were using a process under Minnesota law known as vouching. It allows people to vouch for other voters on Election Day. A registered voter who lives in the same precinct can vouch for up to eight voters, while staff members of residential facilities can vouch for their residents. The pair of influencers disguised and recorded themselves going under coverings and hidden cameras at the polling places. they posted videos capturing their interactions in social media in August. O'Keev said an ex.

They dressed in Muslim garb, including for one of them, a full-face veil known as a Nekab, and that their goal was to expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota's vouching system. Mori already said Wednesday, the office of Minnesota Secretary of State, Steve Simon, alerted her office to their conduct. They're going to say that their apparent goal was to cast out, blah, blah, blah. Well, I can only say, yeah, they're going to get the book thrown at them, and there's nothing. There's, yeah, I think they're cooked on this one.

I mean, we're looking at full-scale lawfare across the board in every possible respect. Now, I will say, you know, to be honest, I expected this to happen. When they put this video out, I was like, yeah, the Democrats are going to go nuclear on this. And they're going to use it to say, this proves conservatives are faking voter fraud. Well, and the crazy thing about, like, I get what you're saying, but with the stunt that they were, the fraud that they were, the fraud that they were, the fraud that, they were intending to expose or the, you know, the weaknesses in the existing system that they were exposing, they ended up exposing it even further because it shows that the government is selectively, they are perfectly capable of enforcing the law when it comes to fraud. And in a

state like Minnesota, there's plenty of it, but it shows that they are selectively choosing to do it only when, you know, quote unquote, conservative influencers are the ones who are allegedly perpetrating this fraud. And of course, we all knew that. But when you see it in such plain, in such a black and white situation, it's just an, you know, it's just an, you know, It's so insulting. It's insulting to all our intelligence. Like, we know that you're capable of actually prosecuting fraud. You only choose to do when it's politically convenient. And I mean, the whole idea of like this vouching system is ridiculous in it of itself.

I mean, like, we've already got early voting, mail and ballots, all of these other ways. Like, if you can't get to the polling station on election day, you can vote. But it's not enough. It's like, oh, now I'm going to vote for eight other people. And essentially, like, who's going to verify it? Do you think that they have people running around verifying it? I doubt it. In California, where we're from, they had those videos when the Spencer Pratt election was

really in the news of those people. I think the DOJ ended up prosecuting some people who were paying homeless people on Skid Row and registering homeless people to vote. And then they were voting for the homeless people in California. It was, again, this cartoonish level of like scheming is just so crazy. And I'm glad that I guess we're talking about. about it, but I wish more people would. Well, it also raises the question of what's going to happen when the Democrats are back in power.

Because it's not a question of if, eventually they will be back in power. And they're going to go nuclear on conservatives and on Trump. And they're going to, like you said earlier, they're going to change America. Like, they're hell bent on it. And so it's, I don't even know what to think. It's sort of about it. It's like, it seems almost inevitable that they're going to get their way. Yeah, I mean, look, it's really, really frightening to know that there are Democrats that are so determined to change the system that we live in in order to retain power.

And a lot of the reason why it's so disconcerting is because of, because anyone that looks at the 20th century, really. Like, all you have to do is look at how the 20th century played out because this isn't, and I mentioned this the other night, but this is not. the first time that the left has decided that they need to change man, right? Like the Soviet Union did it. It was done in China. It was done all over South America. Pol Pot did it. Like, and these efforts always coincide with an absolute slaughter of human beings. And I'm not talking about, I mean, as bad as it would be 10, 20,000, 50,000 people dying. That would be horrific in the United States. But you're talking about 50 million people. Right.

You know, the Soviet Union killed, like, in, I mean, Mao killed something like 45 to 60 million people. The Soviet Union killed 30 or 40 million people. Two million people starved in the Ukrainian and the Holodomor. Right. Because they decided that there. The Bolshevik Revolution. People don't know what the holode, what caused the Holodomor. There was one guy that was given the job of deciding.

how to plant crops and he said that crops are actually communist. I swear to God, right? His name was Lyshenko. He said crops are communists. You plant crops that are like each other close together and they will share resources. Wow. I swear to God. Yeah, look it up. There was a name for this. Lysenkoism. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His name was Lysenko and he caused millions of people to die because plants aren't commies, right? Like there are finite number.

of resources and you have to plant plants a certain way or else you're going to end up killing all the plants and when you kill all the plants you kill all the people right like this kind of craziness and i i don't put it past them to try that kind of thing again at all like and what are they going to do when they get in power and they have the full scale of the ai panopticon at their disposal and so i i wish that trump and the people in power now could look a few years down the road and think about what they're doing and think about how they're going to empower the left to basically imprison all of us. Well, I mean, look, I'm not, I'm not particularly, I'm not a dumer on AI. I understand that kind of, that kind of, you know, that type of, of look, but the problem is less the technology,

and it's more the people that believe they can remake man. Well, that's what I mean. These people are going to inevitably be back in power, and they are going to have that lever to pull with the AI and all the, you know, with what's happening, you know, with Palanty. and they're creating a database and every man, woman, and child in the country? And who else would exploit that to the nth degree, you know, the leftist, the communists, the Democrats? Yeah, I mean, I agree that kind of,

that kind of, you know, surveillance state is in the hands of people that don't want people to be free is terrifying. If we don't make it in the United States, China's going to make it. It's coming either way. It's kind of, I've kind of resided myself to, this is going to be the future, right? I don't want to see Democrats or people that want to try to remake human beings to have that kind of power,

but that kind of power is going to be created because, again, if the United States doesn't do it, China will do it. Lysenko claimed that the gene, the concept, was a bourgeois invention. Yeah. He denied the present of any immortal substance of heredity. He argued that he could transform species of wheat into other species of wheat simply by planting them in different places. And everyone's like, yeah, that literally isn't, that makes no sense. And his argument was like, no, no, the only reason the wheat is a different species is because of how and when they planted it and all wheat is the same. And then everyone starved the death.

I mean, and doesn't that sound like, doesn't that sound similarly crazy to, no, trans women are actually biological women and trans men are actually biological men? It doesn't matter what you were born as. You can change to and you will, and there are people that make. that argument with as much as an average person says well that's kind of crazy like there are people who legit believe that yeah we're just saying whatever now it's and just hoping it sticks and you know and it does in some cases yes but that this kind of like this kind of idea that the whole world all of reality is malleable or it actually will conform to what i think it should be is something that is, it's something that we have seen in history over and over,

and it coincides with piles and piles and piles of dead bodies. And one of the reasons why I'm no longer on the left is because I acutely felt the hatred that they have for you if you don't comply with their demands. And that was just something that really disturbed me. And to that point, if they hate you for not complying with their demands when they're not in positions of power, exactly. What are they going to do when they're in positions of power? And that's like that is definitely that archetype person. Again, I interacted with that so much during COVID because there were there were people who were just customers who would find things to be, you know, to bring up.

And they felt like for some reason it was their place to be like, oh, you missed a spot or, you know, just there were freaks. But these people, they really, they desire to be in control. in some ways. And although it's very prevalent on the left, there are also definitely Republicans who have that same kind of itch. You know, you think about a lot of those surveillance state kind of swampy Republicans. You know, I'm sure we could think of a few names off the top of our head, but they have, they possess that same characteristic that makes them just as dangerous, in my opinion. I would say it's, again, very prevalent on the left, but it's not a uniquely, like, left-leaning or democratic quality. There's just this authoritarianism some people have.

It's not, I don't think that it's a left-leaning, I don't think that that's the quality. I think that in a similar fashion to people that would assault children, they go to where the access is. So if you've got those kind of inclinations, you'll go into politics. You'll probably go into activism because it gives you a way to act on these impulses. To express it. Yeah. Like people love to say, oh, well, teachers or camp counselors or priests or whatever, they're the ones that harm children. It's like, no, that's the access point. So they go to those places because they have access to children.

Same thing with politics. If you have a desire to tell other people what to do, you go to HR or you go to politics, right? HR that's so good. Well, you're controlling people's lives. You can't piss off the HR lady because what's you're going to do, you're going to get written up. I'm going to talk to the CEO, et cetera, et cetera. I will say I feel that impulse is stronger on the left overall. I think it does exist on the right.

I totally agree. But it does feel stronger to me on the left. I mean, I think it's just in different sort of policy areas for the different parties. I mean, we see it on the right. Like, you know, if you don't agree with a certain foreign policy idea, you know, you're going to, you know, you're excised out of the party. You know, you need to, you know, align with these certain things or it's a no-go. And, I mean, both sides have it.

They're sort of like purity tests that, you know, they might put you through. And, I mean, to a certain extent, it's not a bad thing. You know, you do want some sort of conformity of thought. But, I mean, it gets to a certain point where, We're veering out of like the reality that all of us occupy and we're going into this like dream world that is just for them, you know. I want to pull up this story from Army Times. U.S. Army practices digging temporary battlefield graves. And you know what I find most difficult about the story is that nobody wants to just explicitly state what it is they are doing?

The U.S. military has begun preparations for mass graves for the purpose. of U.S. soldiers dying and them needing temporary interment to hold the corpses of U.S. soldiers, their bodies, so that they could later be collected, identified, and returned to their families. The question is, why did the Army decide they needed to start running drills for digging up? I think they say that they could effectively dig 2,400 gravesites for 2,400 people in a short amount of time. what do they need this for? On top of this, we are getting reports that the U.S. has already told Gulf allies, once the midterm is over, war with Iran is going to light up.

I think it's fair to say that the U.S. is preparing for boots on the ground in Iran. I think you're right. For a long time, I very much thought that they weren't going to do that. I've talked to some people that I know that are kind of in the military adjacent area, and they believe that that's actually coming. I don't think that's a good idea. Listen, I was against starting to bomb Iran. We had a big argument when we were in Florida.

I was talking about how much I didn't think it was a good idea. I still want the best outcome for the United States. I don't think it's a good idea to put boots on the ground in Iran. And if they do put boots on the ground in Iran, I still want the best outcome for the United States. But I don't think that it's a good idea. Well, when the president was, I think he spoke about this earlier today at a rally where he was talking about how the,

I'm paraphrasing, but he said the Iran war will end when I want it to, implying it's not over because he doesn't want it to be over. Again, I'm paraphrasing there, but you can kind of take away from his remarks what he sort of meant by that. And that's a very bleak admission, you know, and it's one thing to kind of be on the outside and say, oh, you know, this is such a betrayal. how could he do this, but still kind of have that reservation in the back of your mind, really you're like, I don't have all the information he does.

Maybe there really was a well-intentioned reason to get into this. And for him to get on stage, again, less than a week away from the midterms, with the one, the most unpopular thing that is dragging down the Republicans is the very war that he claims he could flip on and off with the switch, you know, and that was just, I didn't like that. I didn't like that either. I felt like it was a mistake, too, from the beginning. I caught a lot of flack from people on Twitter for criticizing what was happening and I ran. And to me, it seemed obvious from the beginning that they wanted to escalate.

So I'm not surprised at all. Sad. Yeah, I mean, we've... It's going to get bad. Yeah, I mean, we've really seen, I mean, like, you know, when we obliterated the nuclear sites last summer, you know, that was supposedly like the end of it. And, I mean, the State Department website, pretty much in so many words, says that, you know, We were in Iran because, you know, of a Middle Eastern ally, Israel wanted, you know, involvement in that. So I'm not shocked by the boots on the ground thing.

You know, we saw, I think it was like 9,000 amphibious Marines get moved into the region. We saw a new carrier get there a few weeks ago. You know, they're preparing for something. There's been rumors about this going around. I mean, you know, who's to say exactly when it'll happen? But, I mean, it's sad, you know, the inevitable. is that if we get boots on the ground, you know, there's going to be, you know, American deaths. And those were truly avoidable at the end of the day.

Yeah. And for people that, you know, don't know about, you know, what, what Iran is like, it's not like Iraq where there's just like a bunch of sand dunes where tanks are going to be rolling in from another country, you know, from Saudi Arabia. And basically you're just going to drive to bad dad and take over. It's mountainous. It's far more like Afghanistan. And it is, it's going to be a sloth. A lot of people are going to die.

A lot of Americans are going to die. I mean, look, unless the government's got, you know, some kind of, some technology that we don't know. I mean, if you had told me that they were going to just turn Caracas off and they were going to fly in, snatch the president, and then fly out, I'd have been like, BS, that's not going to happen. I know the U.S. is like unmatched military, but they're not going to do it. But guess what? They turned Caracas off, flew in, grabbed the president, and left with zero. casualties from America. One dude got shot up pretty bad that was a pilot. I want to highlight this post from Mario Nafel. It's not a particularly serious post. He's just mentioning that there's going to be

a FEMA FCC nationwide broadcast alert, November 17th, scheduled for 2.20 p.m. However, when I was reading this, and he mentions, you know, Britain launched their campaign telling everybody to stock up on food and water. Germany is preparing bunkers. We've seen warnings of conscription in many of these European countries. The United States is preparing. their fortress plan, which is all military bases must operate for 90 days independent of civilian infrastructure. And then we see this, you know, the military has begun doing drills on how to do mass temporary burials for U.S. soldiers. And the only thing I thought was, I'm sure glad I got emergency food and water stockpiled because, you know, we've got this crazy voter fraud scheme

in Alaska. Internal politics in this country are insane. I mean, nonfunctional, dysfunctional. And then you've got these reports that the U.S. is going to go to war, boots on the ground in Iran, those are the rumors. And I'm just like, yo, fourth turning is coming. Between 26 and 28 is when it's supposed to get particularly bad. And I think it's going to get a lot worse. I'm just looking at all of these things that have popped up in the past month or so. And it's all pointing towards serious economic crisis, food shortages, power shortages, full-skirts. scale war. And I don't want to believe it because nothing ever happens, right? But could this be

the fourth turning? We are 80 years in and overdue for a great conflict. People always say that that nothing ever happens. But then you look back and stuff happens all the time. Like COVID happened, you know, I mean, things have been happening since 20. Things have been happening since forever. And I mean, COVID was bad, you know, but. But to be fair, like, COVID was the first time it felt like something happened. Something happened. Yeah, when it went, when I was in my basement and Trump went on TV and said, we are locking down the country for the, you know, 15 days to slow the spread, that's when, you know, me and my friends were like, whoa. In my lifetime, that's definitely the first time it felt like something happened because I wasn't born for 9-11. I imagine that's

the last, the thing right before COVID. 9-11 happened. Something happened. That was it felt like happened. Oh, definitely. I've gathered, something happened. To quote Ilhan Omar, some people did something on that day. Jinks, you want me a Coke. No, but, I mean, Adriel has been a bit of a prepper with this stuff. He's the expert on the subject. At first, I'll admit, I came into the office on Monday,

and I was like, this guy's just talking about it. I mean, I have been on this for a while already. So I know someone who got a call about a week ago from a Navyman here in Virginia, and it was super ominous. It was just kind of like, hey, I can't tell you what's going to happen, but like you need to stock up on like water and non-perishable. food. And I was like, okay, yeah, whatever. Like, people are always saying crazy stuff. But, you know, lo and behold, over the weekend, we got the report about the fortress plan happening coming out

of the Pentagon. And then, you know, we've seen all the stuff here in the tweet. I mean, Japan's, one of the ministers over there was talking to the citizens and telling them something similar of, like, you know, gather, you know, food and water. I mean, we've seen a lot of, like, pretty concerning stuff. Over the past, like, 72 hours, we've had more data breaches and, like, the FEC website was the fact or something. website down. I mean, it's concerning any time, but a week before an election, it's especially concerning. I mean, I don't know exactly what's going to happen. People have been talking about grid collapse, this or that, you know, but I think that all of these signs are definitely

pointing to something. Who knows what it is. There was an interesting story a little while ago, and this is what you got to pay attention to if you really want to know what's going on, is you just take a drive down to Hampton Roads, Virginia, and you just go to restaurants and you just asked people, you talk to people, because back in the day when they said loose lips sink ships, what they meant was, if you go to a town like Newport News, you got Fort Eustace over there, and you go to a diner, and you just spark up some small talk with a waitress, and then you say, yeah, you know, I'm thinking about moving, but I'm not sure, you know, maybe go on vacation, and then you get that conversation going, then what are you going to hear?

They're going to say, oh, yeah, a lot of people around here have been packing up and going, and then what does that mean? So one of the stories that we got a while ago is that people had been reporting individuals who work in certain military jobs were packing up and leaving, which is indicative of something much more serious than air strikes.

So the idea is if you go to these military neighborhoods where you've got, you know, if it's a single guy living in the barracks or whatever, but if they get married, they can live off base in these houses. And we hear rumors from people where they say like, oh, yeah, my neighbor, I saw him pack up and left. Just the husband, you know, wife stayed behind. And it's like, that's a deployment.

So that's when you start getting this information coming out. And that's why they say loose lipsing ship. Obviously, the guy who's being deployed didn't go and say like, hey, here's my, I'm all. Like, here's what I'm doing. We're going. It's happening. But the neighbor's noticed a guy who's like, you know, infantry or a sniper or like some, like, combat, you know, left. and they're like, he's not leaving for vacation.

She's not going on the boys trip. Well, it's a type of boys trip. So we got some of these stories months ago, and then, you know, surprise, surprise, obviously, around war stuff. Right. And that's the stuff you look out for. So when, like, you're mentioning this,

like someone calls and says, I can't tell you what's going to happen, but you need food and water. Something's coming. Yeah. It feels to me, like, somewhat related to, like, the Great Reset. It sort of feels to me, like,

they're pushing for, global governance, pushing for global federalism, essentially. And all of these moves, to me, feel like it's kind of getting us closer and closer to something along those lines. Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of one of those weirdo prepper guys. Like, my, I got a house in New Hampshire. It's way back off the road. You can't see it from the road. I got solar. Like, you know, I'm, you know, I've got an LP tank that can give me through most of the winter, like, got a well. So I have these things.

You have a well? Yes. That's awesome. Like a physical? I have two wells. It's actually, it's a, it's got a, it's basically just hole in the ground. There's not a hand pump. It's got a, it's connected to the, it's got a pump, but it's connected to the solar array. So, um, but like, look, and I've got, you know, storage food and stuff and, you know, I'm a gun guy. So I've, I've been thinking of these kind of things for a long time. When COVID happened, my life didn't change.

You know, I was like, all right, I guess I got to wear a mask to go to Walmart. But otherwise, it was, you know, every day was the same. That being said, the idea of having, you know, some food stored and some water stored, you can get big, you know, five gallon jugs of water. They don't take up that much space. Get one for every person in your house and that'll get you through a few days. You know, it's not a big ask. but this kind of stuff is something that you should have the ability you should have on hand

it doesn't take a ton of room it doesn't cost a ton of money most of the people that you would call preppers out there in in the u.s like they're not rich people generally you know they they can their own food they have a garden in the backyard this kind of stuff is is it's low effort um the problem arises when you're like hey everybody is going to is starting to say oh crap I've got to do this right now, right? Like, I've got a couple extra rolls of toilet paper at home. What was that? During COVID, everyone was like, you need to buy all of the paper product.

What even was that? Nobody wants an itchy butthole. Oh, okay. Well, I'm glad you're going to survive, Phil, and you're inspiring me to also try and survive. Because right now I live in the nation's capital with two roommates. Yeah, you're done. Well, yeah, my dad likes to remind me all the time. He likes to end most of our phone calls with, well, at least.

when they nuke us, you will just die instantly. Thank you. But actually, D.C. is probably the safest place from nukes. Oh, yeah, because... I mean, of all the places the United States is going to harden? Yeah. Capital. They're going to be like, we should probably protect New York,

but like Omaha, you know? I just feel like... Akron. Yeah. I feel like symbolically, it would make sense for an adversary to attack the... to attack Washington, D.C., because it's such a, you know, the image of blowing up in Minecraft. The issue is that they can't. Because where the U.S. put all of its Sam sites is going to be in and around D.C. like crazy.

And if you know where to look, you can actually see them. So when they're like, hey, let's build, you know, anti-aircraft missiles and nuclear weapon deterrence. And what was the program? Star Wars built? whatever. When they're like, we want to build giant infrared lasers that can shoot nukes out of the sky. Yeah, those are in D.C. first. Oh, hell, yeah. So then really the only thing you have to worry about is, like, crazy people and vagrants, which you have to do on a daily business. Well, I think that's the bigger concern is like once, you know, if it goes down, you know,

I mean, people are going to start looting and rioting. Right. We're going to be eating each other. Absolutely crazy. I think that's the bigger threat. And like, like, the nuke is like the easy way out. You know, it's like, okay, you're gone. But this is more like people are going to come, torture you, take your stuff, and like, God knows what. Oh, D.C.'s in serious trouble. Like, I understand people are going to be like, yeah, but it isn't going to be heavily militarized? Like, no, D.C.'s got too much crime. It's like, I mean, you know, Trump's cleaning it up, so maybe things get better with the National Guard everywhere.

New York is cooked. I mean, people are going to be within three days. You're going to see a dude in the street just like eating another person. My, my, all their mean. They probably do that already. Isn't that just like the box? In Florida, that did happen. Remember the guy who was on Crocodile or whatever?

I remember that. Bath salts, that's what it was. He was eating the other guy's face. All the remains manager lives on Long Island. And I'm like, he talks about, like, he's a gun guy. And he's a Jewish guy too. And so he's got like a network of friends and stuff. And I'm like, look, you're all doomed anyways.

It doesn't matter. You're never getting off that island. He's like, no, I know a guy who's got a boat. I'm like, well, maybe if you can get to his boat, but you know, you're not the only guy that's thinking about it. So if you live in an urban area and that kind of stuff like. But it's urban. Starts go, yeah.

I mean, imagine if the grid did go down for 90 days. Like, that's insane. I'll be in New Hampshire in eight hours. I don't know if you'd make it. Well, I mean, I've got the route planned, and I've got extra gas, so I don't have to stop. So I don't know if I'll make it either, but I definitely am not going to. I think there's going to be like four dudes with rifles and they're going to be standing in the middle of the street, and they're going to aim it at you, and then you're going to stop. And then they're going to be like, what's your business here?

And you're going to be like, pass and they're going to be like, nope, you're going back the way you came. You're going to make what kind of American. are you? Exactly. Yeah. No, I mean, I was talking to my friends about this. I mean, it's like, grid collapses, like, you don't really fully understand. It's like no running water, no anything.

You're not, you're not being able, no electronics, no internet, no connection. Can't communicate with anybody. Like, unless you have a walkie-talkie, you're not talking to anybody who isn't like near you. It's Balfangs and solar power and starlink, then you're good. Yeah. Gotta go analog. Bring back the walkie-talkies. Balfangs.

Hand-crank ones. Have you ever see those? No. They have radios. Crank Radio. Oh, yes. Yes, yes. That's so cool.

Yeah, but, you know, I got solar power generators, batteries, and Starlink, so I'm chilling. I think I have, like, a tub of ice cream in my freezer. I've been... I've been soft prepping since COVID. Yeah. I feel like... What if COVID was actually, like,

to harden people for when the worst... Yeah. I mean, look, maybe the... COVID should have taught... Actually, I'm sure that COVID taught a lot of people that maybe it's a good idea to have some stuff set aside. I think there are probably far more. Remember, in the teens, there was that show Doomsday Preppers,

and they always mocked them. At the end of the day, they were poking fun at them. I guarantee there are a boatload of people that look back at that show and they're like, those guys are actually a lot smarter than I gave them credit for. You know, even though each one kind of had their own, like, specific thing they were prepping for, their own end of the world kind of thing. And it's true, you can't, like, prepare for every eventuality, you know, whether it be a blizzard or what have you.

Like those kind of things, you know, it's a craft shoot as to what it's going to be. But there are definitely way more people in America that are like, you know, I should be able to take care of myself for a day or two, you know, maybe a week. Because look at what happened in COVID. I didn't have any toilet paper and I was itchy all week, you know. Do they make like survival starter packs on Amazon that I get? Oh, yes. Okay.

Because really, I was just, I was taking inventory and we have like a, we have one of those girl tool sets. It's like a pink, like a pink screwdriver. And I was like, oh, I really, I need to lock in, I think. I can get it together. Your survival starter kit should start with a Glock 9mm. Well, in the nation's cabin. And safe and ready meals.com. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. I liked Mountain House when I was a kid. You can get, you can get a permit.

They're really expensive. This is $30. This is really crazy. So when COVID happened, we're, we're just. We had a sponsor, Safe and Ready Meals. I just pulled it up because we haven't done any reads for them in years. I think it's sold out. Yeah. Wow.

It's sold out and expensive. Now, I don't want to be a thing and be like, oh, it's so expensive if you can't get it. It costs a lot more than it did back when we were doing these promos. And I'm like, I just pulled it up and it's sold out. Do they do Klarna? Wow. I mean, put it on a credit card and then when the world ends, you don't have to pay it back. So whatever.

Take out as many credit cards. If you can hear this, you've got as many loans as you can right now. I bought like a year's supply worth of food in like 2012. And at the time, it was like $2,000. And I went and I looked a couple weeks ago, and now that same kind of supply is like $4,000. So, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think the freaky part,

I mean, Tim, you were talking about it's expensive to prep nowadays. You know, they're upcharging the things. But what really scares me is how they have these, like, nuclear, like, silos that they've turned into doomsday. bunkers, but they're like luxury retreats for billionaires. And they sell out like almost immediately. Well, some of them are like super duper expensive. Yeah, but you know, mansions exist too. You can get these missile, like they've got $300,000 silo bunkers. Right. Oh hell yeah. Wait, that's sick. Yeah. And like they've they've like converted some of these. They have like pools and classrooms.

There's a network of them that like they're all connected so that when the whatever goes down goes down, the kids in them will be able to talk to each other. So it's like the kids in the different bunkers, we'll go to class together. Wasn't like the Hitler bunker kind of like that? He had like a whole city underground basically. He had everything. No, on the moon. Oh, on the moon. Of course. Of course. I'm an idiot. Nazis in space. That's awesome. I saw a really funny Instagram and it was like, I was traveling through Argentina. I found this beautiful German town. And then the top comment was nobody tell her. Everyone keep your mouth. Everyone speaks German.

It's weird in Argentina. A lot of blondies. Why are there so many blonde people in Argentina? I think next year is going to get balls to the wall bonkers. Every indicator is screaming. I mean, we were talking about how trains from New York to D.C. are between $200 and $300 now. Yeah.

Well, if you take the, you can take the ratchet bus at 4 in the 4. For like 30 bucks at pop. Like the Greyhound bus? The megast was, you could get a megabus for a buck. You're going to die. Nine years ago. Oh, we almost did. Last time I took it.

was going like 90 on the highway and there's a hundred people on this bus. I was like, wow, this really could be it. And then we pulled into the Joe Biden rest stop in Delaware. And I was like, is it what it's called? It's, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's like the Joe Biden, Delaware or whatever. It's a rest stop and you can buy like Joe Biden merch. And I was like, I've gone to hell. I've died and I'm in hell.

I totally want to get some Joe Biden merch. It was actually kind of sick. I had a good time. It was clean, nice people-ish, expensive. But, you know, what isn't? So. You can take the bus. We got war indicators.

We got economic collapse indicators. We've got internal conflict indicators. It's a may you live in interesting times. We're turning, man. Yeah, and during COVID, you had all the governments around the world in lockstep, saying all the same things. And now we're kind of seeing that happen again. Saying all the same things.

It's kind of weird. Yeah, that's what Mario pointed out. Britain launched its campaign October 22nd telling 68 million people to keep three days of water, no-cooked food cash at home. you've got the EU with a 72 hour kit. Germany is advising for 10 days. Washington is telling the Gulf to brace for Italian, Italian, Iranian retaliation.

When you mix Iranian retaliation, you get Italian. And, man, and the Fortress Project, the operation. I'm going to go ahead and say they're all gearing up for something big. Yeah. I mean, look, look, like a crash. Have you guys seen the list of job layoffs from? from AI so far. Like Microsoft is, I think, the biggest we've seen yet, right? 60,000.

20, was it, 26% of its entire workforce? Yeah, 60,000. Just fired. Wow. And these all white collar people, and you know what's gonna happen. All these 35-year-old, like, college-educated white dudes are gonna go join the DSA. Well, a lot of that, you kind of saw the, you know,

the seeds were planted very, just, even just a couple years ago. I, in California, again, I'm gonna talk about it for the millionth time, I had a bunch of friends who pursued degrees in STEM. They went to very prestigious colleges. They were told, oh, if you learn how to code, if you become a software engineer, you will make six figures immediately out of college, very bright students, well-meaning students, and just did what they were told. And a lot of them could not get jobs out of college, in some cases for years,

because the market was so oversaturated. And that was kind of the first red flag. It's like, okay, you can't even get a job. And then the people who do get the job, well, now your job's obsolete because of artificial intelligence, or super intelligence, whatever it's called. It's very, very bleak. Super intelligence. Nobody's saying that.

The president of the United States insists upon it. He insists. The world's ending, and he's like, anyone who doesn't call it superintelligence is getting banned from the White House. Yeah, and it's like, uh, what? Elon Musk is calling it super intelligence. Yeah, I'm sure he is. You know, whatever.

What if they're fomenting all of these conflicts and crises so that AI can intervene and save everybody? And then everyone's like, we love you, AI. Wait, is this just a sick prank? Ooh, that's going to suck. I was going to say at least there. I was going to say, at least they're telling us. Like, that's so nice of them to let us know.

You guys have read Watchman, right? We've seen the movie. I've read it and seen it. Yeah, see? You know, it's Elon Musk is, is Vite. And he's like, you know. He's white? Vite.

Oh, I was like, I guess. He's not. He is. Actually, he's African American. He's me African American. Can you really be white if you're African American? You can't, according to the left. No, you can't.

And you're not, you shouldn't be allowed to, immigrate to the United States either. That's such a funny category, like African-American, because we all can use that in a polite way to mean black people, but there are literally African-Americans that are not black. That's kind of an awesome. Just a funny little, makes you forget

the world's ending for a little bit. I prefer FBAs. What does that mean? A foundational black Americans. Oh, okay. So they were a very proper. Yeah, very proper, very respectful. Very PC of you. Yeah, well, you know, they're unquestionably allowed to stay in the United States,

no matter what happens. Right. So. Oh, yeah. This kind of stuff, like I said, it's not a bad idea to have, you know, some amount of preparations. I mean, I think most people would look at what I've done and they'd be like, that's crazy person stuff, which is fine with me. Because like I said, COVID happened. And I was like, I don't care.

Dude, like, we went into action. We got ducks. We started doing, we started our garden. And now we have like a huge situation happening on our property. Good. Wait, that's awesome. We grow so much food and we've got fresh eggs all the time and it's amazing. Chickens are great.

You're going to live forever. I always tell people it's impossible to be depressed if you own chickens. Well, we have ducks, but I want to get chickens too. Ducks are great, you know. The ducks are hilarious. They're like second class chickens, you know. They're like little boomers. They like waddle around and get all upset about stuff.

I have no idea of all upset about stuff. Just complain. You have the ducks? What kind of ducks do you have? Well, we have three different kinds. I don't remember the official names of them. One's white, one's brown, and one's like a mixed color. America.

And they just like waddle through the property and eat bugs. And it's like... How often do they lay eggs? Every morning. Really? Well, you know, during the summer season. Yeah, spring to end of summer. Because chickens, we get eggs all year round.

Do you eat the lights? The lamp and stuff. Yeah. So you have to put up lights that simulate the long day. And then they just lay eggs forever. They get smaller. Oh, interesting. Because it's cold, and when they go outside,

it's like their bodies still react to it. But fresh eggs every day, can't be beat. What color eggs are they? All of them. Wow. I love going to the store. We have blue ones and green ones and white ones and brown ones and light brown ones. Sometimes pink.

Pink? It's great for Easter. Hold on a second. See, I virtue signal at the grocery store by buying blue ones too. eggs. I'm like, yeah, I care about heirloom products. Here are the colorful

eggs. $14.00. Yeah. Like, that'll be $30. I want to jump to this story. We've got this post from Data Republican, highlighting You Need Soap saying that You Need Soap and Grumpy Tech Bro have been recruited to dig in. You Need Soap

tweets. The more I dig through this stuff, the more I realize we still haven't gotten to some of the biggest documents yet. Data Republican has already done an incredible job showing what they were preparing for inside the government. This document looks like the plan for what happens outside the government once they decided the trigger has been hit. And FTR, this is way beyond people sitting around talking about resistance.

In April 2026 draft called the Metro Alignment Playbook, it lays out a city by city plan to create economic disruption during an election crisis. The idea is basically to identify the corporations that carry the most economic power in each city, figure out where they're vulnerable, and then build the labor, faith, community political and small business infrastructure needs needed to pressure them when the time comes. Then they start naming actual targets, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, L.A., etc., etc. So what's interesting about these documents that have been released by data Republican is that it relies on an election crisis. It relies on confusion in the electoral process. If this was to be enacted, Republicans would need to

win. Right now, Democrats believe they're going to win. The polls and the prediction, markets say they're going to win. But if they lost, all of these libs would be like it's impossible. Trump's stealing the election, no kings, right? But then we find out these polls were fake. So that's one, I don't know, I'm not saying it's true. Conspiracy theory, potentiality, very low probability. What if the intention of the fake pollsters was to convince Democrats they were winning, convince everybody Democrats were winning? And then when Republicans actually overperform or potentially win, the Democrats can't believe it's real. And they say, this is fraud. And then the DSA comes out and says, see, the fascists are taking over, and then they implement all of their plans.

And they've written down and described it in great detail. In great detail. They're talking about a general strike. They're talking about shutting down. They want to get the union that, or the Delta, the union that works for Delta or that works with Delta, whatever you want to call it, to shut down Detroit and Atlanta. They're talking about, you know, massive upheaval in the economy. talking about shutting down Wall Street. They're talking about marching on Silicon Valley, doing essentially everything they can to shut down all commerce in the United States and say,

look, this is a massive problem. And Trump's a fascist, et cetera, inspiring the Trump administration to activate the National Guard, which only will make the left say, hey, look, he is a fascist. He's going after these peaceful protests. When everyone knows that after dark they're not peaceful protests they're riots um but the you know the phrase that you that you hear a lot talking about the left is your target's reaction is your actual action right so you're doing something to provoke yeah you're there the whole point is to provoke you know the administration i had a i saw a tweet that ed markey there was a clip of ed markey talking to i think it was savannah guthrie i could be wrong but ed marky was saying oh you know we have to be prepared to

activate if Trump does this, this, or this, all the things that he lists off are totally, totally within the power of the president. There's nothing that is even questionable about the president's power. Or if he were to do any of the things that Markey's saying would be some kind of

fascist, you know, crackdown. But it's like, if the president basically does anything to push back against what will be civil unrest, will be riots, will be, you know, any kind of, you know, They'll call them protests, but you look at the George Floyd protest.

You look at Ferguson. There was the whole, it's mostly peaceful. They ignore the violence. They ignore the rioting. And they say, oh, these people are just out protesting. Anything that the administration or the federal government does will be vilified. We'll be vilified. And the next step after that is governors say, we're not going to allow the president.

And we need to push back against the federal government. We need to rethink what the federal government is. is and essentially talk about, you know, some kind of not really a secession because they're not going to leave the United States, but basically fomenting a civil war because they're going to call into question the legitimacy of the federal government. That was going to be my next question. Like, with all the division in people living in their own bubbles, living in their own separate realities, it does feel like civil conflict is very possible.

That's the goal. That's the goal because the conflict allows the left and the DSA to say, look, we, we, need to rewrite the Constitution. The goal is to get rid of the Senate. Yeah. They want, and you can't get rid of the Senate with the Constitution we have. It's the one thing in the Constitution that can't be changed through an amendment, right? Like, in Article 5, I think it is, it says that the Senate, they will never deprive states of their votes.

So if you're going to get rid of the Senate, you have to completely redo the Constitution. And if they, if they're, if they attempt to redo the Constitution, it's, it's a, you It's not going to be anything like we see now. There's not going to be a bill of rights, or if there is a bill of rights, it's going to be paying lip service to the things that we believe in. And they're going to say, oh, well, everyone deserves housing. Everyone has a right to this, everyone has a right to that. And they're basically all the things that they say is a right.

You know, health care is a human right. Housing is a human right. You know, a livable wage is a human right. All of these things are going to be considered rights in this new constitution that they want a right or the new bill of rights that would be attached. It's like the Green New Deal basically. I mean, yeah. Can you imagine what like the woke bill of rights would be like?

It could be, it's like you can't vote unless you're gay or something. That would be so, like, obviously I'm joking. Phil, you make a good point. But how fun, like, if SNL was funny, they would do a woke bill of rights skit. The world would end. They would be rewriting the government and they'd be like, it's a bunch of purple-haired, they thens. It's going to be the right of terror.

Yeah. Yeah. Because they're not going to be able to figure out what they're actually doing. So they're going to be like, okay, I'm done arguing, kill that guy. Yeah. Completely agree. I mean, that's the kind of thing that happens with these revolutions. Like the people consider the United States the U.S. revolution against the...

One of the... The British, it was a unique revolution. It wasn't really a revolution, but it was unique in history. Tell you a funny story. You all know what happened to Robespierre, right? Yeah. You guys know what happened to Robespierre, right? Is he the guillotine guy?

Yes. It was like 40,000 guillotine guys. Yeah. Yeah, but he was like the guy. And you know what happens right? People are going to rip me to shreds. But I'm being honest, being real. There was one of the organizers Occupy Wall Street said that his dream was to be Robespier.

The guy that just like did the guillotines? Well, he was the political leader who was like, kill that guy, kill that guy. Yeah. And then he got guillotined himself. little taste of his own medicine. And knowing that, one of the Occupy Wall Street organizers was like, yep, that's what he wanted. That was his dream.

That's like a crazy way to go out. Just plan your own demise. What you do is you surgically implant, you know, metal in your neck, they can't tell. And then they get the guillotine, you go squatang! And they're like, whoa, and you're like, I guess sentence carried out. I guess I'm free to go. Dude, who is it?

Krista Pike just surviving all of the... I think they're going to try again, though. Really? They're going to give it another third times the charm, as they say. Well, they always make the argument when the penalty fails that the sentence was carried out, and that's the end of it. Well, but they have to give it. They have to switch it up. I mean, what, she probably has immunity or something now, you know, science or whatever? Like, they have to think of something. Immunity to the drugs or immunity from care? To the lethal injection problem. I mean, she survived. They got to give it, they got a little creative. Actually, we have plenty of old school tried and true if you really want to do.

it, you can do it. Yeah. What I mean? Without getting, in Minecraft. The attempt to medicalize and the process of putting someone to death. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah. It's bad.

A lot worse. Or just, I don't know, extradited or like Canada or whatever. They've got it down to a science. They do. They know what they're doing up there. The second leading cause of death is made in Canada or something. If you guys want to have a great reset, there's got to be a communist revolution. Not suggesting the communist revolution wins in the long term.

But imagine you're a global elite and you're like, how do we get to the point where AI is running everything and everything is distributed evenly? It's like techno-communism. Well, what do you do about the middle class? They're not going to just agree to give up the stuff they own, even if we can give them self-driving cars, self-driving planes, cheap food. Let's say right now, the government rolls out replicators. And they're like, we military technology, we figured it out. we can literally replicate anything. People who own cars are still going to be like, well, I want my car.

I don't care. That's great that you can make free chocolate sundaes and tea, Earl Grey, hot. But I'm not going to give up my car. So how do you reset everything? You're going to need a rent of terror. Maybe the strategy is to just slowly but surely make it increasingly impossible to own anything at all. Oh, definitely. That's kind of just, I mean, hey.

Dude, that's exactly right. The boomers always get mad at me for being upset that it's hard. harder for people my age to buy a house. And like, you guys did, you guys could have lived off of just a single income household. That's not even a reality anymore for us normal people my age. And so maybe that's the whole strategy. They just get increasingly,

you just have to live off credit cards and rent forever. And then so by the time they seize the property, there's no property. Black Rock wasn't buying the homes when, if I was, if I was like a Davos elite, I'd be like, guys, you know what we should do. We should tax the young people,

every year at a higher percentage rate to fund Social Security. And then finally, when Gen Z reaches 30 years old and they're paying like 14, 15% premium on top to fund Social Security for the old people, instead of waiting for the elderly to die and for their wealth to transfer, they'll just call for a revolution to have the government seize all of the boomers stuff. And then, of course, Gen Z won't get it, but it resets the system. Now no one owns anything. If the boomers die, what they own will pass down. It has to go somewhere.

But if Gen Z gets impatient and has a socialist revolution, then you can reset everything and no one will own anything. And, you know, they won't be happy right away, but eventually they will own nothing and they will be happy. I do think that that's sort of what's happening. I think that the left has become unwittingly stooges for this global class of billionaires and oligarchs. and they've become just sort of useful idiots for power. While they chant for revolution, they're working for these people who are orchestrating all of this with their money and with their organizations

and their nonprofits and their whole network. And these people are just eating it up and not thinking critically about where the funding comes from, who's funding it, or what the ultimate goal might be. Yeah, I mean, I think it's... How do they care? I think people get angry and they're just like, bring it all down. Yeah.

I mean, I think it's important to be said, though, like there are so many young people who just are not educated or like read in on politics and like to a certain extent like yes you can blame them and go after them but in a reality where you can't own a home you can't start a family you can't get married everything is unaffordable there is a certain appeal in someone just telling you hey like we're going to take it all and we're going to give you a little slice of the pie and that's like yes are they are they dumb for buying into that idealistic reality that it would never be the case if this were to happen, sure. But unfortunately, like, the state of like our current economy is like people are getting bought out of everything. So

the only option they have to turn to. And the only, a lot of the times in modern American politics, the only people offering a realistic solution are these like DSA radicals who are saying, hey, like, we'll give you these government run grocery stores with prices that are going to be super low. Can you blame them for, for, you know, again, like you said, a lot of people, a lot of Americans are age who maybe don't pay attention to politics as closely for being, you know, tickled by that offer. I don't know why chose that word. But you know, it's an appealing offer. It is, it isn't, and can you blame young people for wanting to. No, but I think at the end of the day, it isn't really about the offer. It's about the taking. Like, if you have nothing and you don't have any,

any way to achieve or if you feel like you have no way to achieve anything, right? You're like I'll never get married just like you laid it out. Then the resentment builds up and then it's not about oh they're going to give me some. It's just I want to watch that guy burn. Yeah, they just want These guys have so much.

They have so much and I have nothing. I'm never going to get anything so why not go and just take everything from them? And that's what the French Revolution was about at the end of the day too. Yeah, that's true. Like they said it was about egalitarianism and it was about fraternity and it was about liberty and it was none of those things. It was about hurting the people that had stuff, hurting the people that were in positions of power. They wanted to hurt the clergy, they wanted to hurt the bourgeoisie. It's all malice. It's all malice. It's all evil. Yeah, they wanted to inflict pain that they had been feeling,

which is like not a great way to go about it, disavow, disavow. But yeah, when like Marie Antoinette is having all of her different pastries every morning and the French, peasant is like, what's on the menu today? Oh, nothing. Then, you know, that's a pretty difficult situation to be in. You can imagine that that would radicalize somebody. Why don't, why doesn't Gen Z just lift themselves up by their bootstraps?

Work harder. Just work harder. And one more... To work. One more thing to that point. They say the billionaires, right? And that's the common thing that you hear, but it's not the billionaires. It's anyone with more than them. That's why 40,000 people died in the French Revolution. There weren't 40,000 people that could have been considered billionaires in the French.

Robespier and Dantan both died. It's just the people that have more than you. They'll look at someone that has a house and they'll throw a Maltov cocktail through the window because they have a house. And it could be a dude that, you know, works a day job. You know, he's a blue collar guy. He's a mechanic. They don't care. Do you remember that video during the George Floyd riots where there was like two college kids like leaning out the window?

And they were like, we support you guys. And then they'd think of like three bricks out or something. Yeah, dude. You support us. There you go. You're like, you're, what the hell, man?

Yeah. You're in a nice apartment that I don't have. I've got to go back to my crappy place. Or, you know, desperation is very, it can turn into resentment really quickly. It's a slippery slope that you go from.

I'm angry. I don't have anything to. I want to take everyone's stuff. Yeah. But I think that it's still important to acknowledge that, like, the problems that the young people are facing are valid issues. And like,

there is a certain responsibility to, offer an alternative to that. It's like it shouldn't just be like, oh, you are destined to a life of working a, you know, cubicle job where you make like shit money forever or, you know, you become a radical, you know. I agree with you and the mismanagement of not only the economy, but the value of the dollar. Like it used to be where if you made, you know, $30,000 a year, you could afford to pay for your house, your car, your, you know, your two kids. Now, if you make $100,000 a year, it's tight to pay for those things. Yeah. You know, so I get what you're saying and you're right, but the mismanagement

of the economy and the mismanagement of the value of the dollar and stuff like that, that is specifically because of the government. It's not because of, you know, the guy that owns the BMW dealership or the guy that owns the Ford dealership or the guy that owns the used car dealership. it's done an all right job, you know? New York City is like a perfect example of what you're describing. I mean, it's probably one of the most extreme examples in the United States, at least. I've seen all of these, I'm sure many of you guys have seen it too. Interviews will, they'll do man on the street interviews and walk up to New Yorkers and ask them how much they pay for rent.

And they'll say, oh, I pay $6,000 and I have a roommate and I live in like, you know, the Lower East Side or whatever. And they'll ask, this specific follow-up question I think is especially important. They'll say, how much does a person need to make to live comfortably? New York City. And they'll say like quarter million. Yeah. That's true though. And it's true. But it's like it's insane. Most people will not see a quarter million dollars in their bank account in their lives. And that's not their fault. You know, it's not just it's not because they didn't work hard enough or because they're dumb. That's just like that's both. It's because they're dumb and they don't work hard enough. Yeah. Let's just let's just roll with that and we'll see we'll see where

things go. No, but it's you know, again, New York City is a very extreme example of this. But it's crazy. I mean, it's crazy. I talked to my dad who, um, when he immigrated here, yeah, trigger warning, he immigrated here. I'm first generation. When he came here, yeah, gotta be honest about these things, but, you know, I'm back to El Salvador. Well, it's tricky. It's like where, you know, which way? Because I'm mixed race. It's crazy. Anyway, um, my dad, when he immigrated here, he told, he'd had the classic American dream story where he came here with $20 in his pocket. He, his, he had furniture man at a cardboard. He lived with like eight people, whatever. And now he owns a house in California, which is, I think, very impressive and I'm really glad.

But that is not that you can't live that life anymore. Yeah. At least not, you have to work a lot, a lot harder. In the past, there's been a significant shift in the past 15. Honestly, since the 2008 housing crisis, when the government started printing money and just, you know, quantitative easing infinity. They were just shoving money into the economy. Wealthy people, got. incredibly wealthy because when you're given money or you get money for for nothing and you buy stock with it right and then the stock market keeps going up the value of stocks keep going up the people that have will accrue more same thing happened with COVID like there was a bunch of money that was printed and given to everybody and people had like a couple thousand dollars

and they spent that money and who gets the money the people that own the stores and things that they were spending the money to get products in well no the stores all went out of business the big box stores were good, but those are major corporations. What I will say is, no, this attitude you've got about how you can't make it, it's not that way anymore, you're completely wrong. It is not the fittest that survives. It is those most amenable to change. So by all me, adaptable, as it were. So you can be the strongest, fast, and smartest, but if you can't adapt your circumstances, then you can't survive. I'm going to give you a really easy way to get rich. You want to be a millionaire? You want to be a millionaire? I would love to. Okay. Well, you're, you're, uh, well, you're, uh, you're, uh,

you're 24? Yeah. Start cold calling old boomers who are rich that are single, you know, go to golf clubs, and then just literally say to the guy, I'm a 24-year-old woman, how about you put me in your will to give me everything you own? Sooner or later, one of the guys would be like, okay. That's so crazy. Why would I do that?

Well, listen, listen. For money, that's why. Did the man, did Rockefeller, when they discovered oil, did he say like, why do I want the black stuff come out of the ground? That makes no sense. No, he saw that and said, I can turn that into gold. And he did. So it may sound crazy, but all you got to do, and you could do this too, cold call old ladies that are boomers with multiple houses and say, I'm a young man, put me in your will. I mean, and eventually they're going to be like, okay, I guess.

I mean, I definitely think that's a strategy. Wait, wait, sorry, sorry. So hold on. And if they're conservatives, you could be like, hey, it's me or the state who's getting the money. Right? So true. You can, yeah, you can like do a little Jedi. Some old billionaire. And you're going to be like, when you die, you know the government is going to come and take your stuff. You don't want to give it to me. Dang.

Okay, that all keep up. Rebecca, we've got a business venture. You know, is this what Girl Boss is nowadays? Like, you just go and take advantage of an old man. I'm willing to bet. Can we get Alex Cooper to chime in on this? Well, the reason I thought of this is because I watched, I thought of this because I watch Fox News a lot. And every other commercial is the selling your life insurance commercial.

And if you really think about how insane that is, it's like you get life insurance because if you die, your family needs the money to take care of your affairs and any losses. But now they're like, listen, you're 70, okay? How about you sell your life insurance policy to us and we'll pay you monthly and then when you die, we get it. Yeah. And I'm like, so basically they're just telling boomers like, put me in your will effectively. Like let me be your beneficiary. and why can't you guys do it? You see, that's the thing.

You guys are embarrassed. You're like, oh, I could never do that. There are corporations advertising on Fox News every five minutes, exactly this. Make us the beneficiary of your life insurance policy because you're going to die soon. And the old people are like, sounds good to me. You know, people who will record themselves doing sales pitches and they'll put it on their Instagram or whatever.

MCAs? I think some of them are actually so, some people have leaned into it and like made it a bit and they're quite funny about it. Yeah. There was one guy who did he watched a SpongeBob selling door to door and he critiqued SpongeBob and it was really funny Yeah like there's there's definitely an angle there, but you know, maybe we can maybe there could be a new subgenre. Resumers just call old people and say, please, please. I have nothing and then one boomers like, okay. Yeah, no, but I think the key is to call conservative boomers and be like, listen, you're old, you're single, you've got no kids, that government is going to take it all.

We can't, let's join together and stop the government from seizing the wealth to, stop communism, you should give me your money. Aren't all of like the childless boomers liberal though? Like are there any conservative childless boomers? I know a childless boomer and she's planning and leaving all of her money to some like liberal causes. You see?

We can't. Is that cause called Rebecca? Okay, you got it you got to seduce her. You got to go that's definitely a strategy. You know, I need a sugar marred. Yeah. We're going to go to the country club. Go to the bingo classes. And Zumba? That's going to be our end.

Okay, wait, that's... I gotta be honest, like, have you seen the videos where the guys, like, I cold emailed like a million people asking for a dollar and here's what happened. And then he ends up making seven grand. No, yeah. You can make a lot of money just asking for it.

It was a really funny video. He's like, I literally emailed one million people asking for $1. And he was like, $697,428 ignored the email outright. And he was like another $200,000 opened the email and closed it. And then he's like, I got like 30,000 some odd responses. asking me why I wanted the dollar, to which I responded to everybody, I just want a dollar. And then like 7,500 something people actually sent them a dollar. No, I mean, that's kind of, that's like a thing.

People, you know, why don't even know if they're homeless? You know, people on the street who will shake the cup around. I mean, yeah, they are homeless sometimes. But sometimes they're there, you know, with their baby and they have clean clothes on and you're like, okay, I see what's going on here. No, they make a lot of money doing that. It's the same idea as like when people have like a grad party or wedding and they send letters to like the CEOs or,

or like these big companies. And half of them don't respond, but half of them sent like a $500 PR package and it's like free. I'm going to start emailing people my like life registry. I'm like, I really want a new coffee machine. You're feeling generous.

Invite people you don't know to your wedding. And like, you know what you do is just invite a thousand people to a wedding that's not happening. But then they'll send you gifts anyway. Rebecca, I bet if you made an Amazon wish list and put that in an email and sent it to people,

there would be people that would send you. People would roll their eyes at what I want. They're like face masks. Oh, we should do this. Because we have a big email list with like hundreds of thousands of people on it. Can I say with my Amazon wish list? Yeah, like we should put, like Rebecca's Amazon wish list.

Help a Zoomer. I guarantee it if it wasn't crazy, like if you asked for like a ridiculously expensive item, you're not going to get it. But if it was like a coffee maker, I guarantee you the list would be filled by our members. Adopt-a-Zumer. Yeah, adopt is like sponsor a Zoomer.

Like how people sponsor. We can sponsor children in Thailand. Well, now you can sponsor a nice American girl. I live in DC and I'm trying to change the world. I'm trying to save America. We call the program. We call the program Boomers for Zoomers. Or Zoomers for Boomer.

Is anyone writing this now? Is this one for Zoom? But we're recording. Wait, wait, wait. Go back and reference it. You know, legit, we got to make like a short bit about this where it's like... And it's just survival gear. It's like MRI.

It's gonna be you and Tate looking sad and black and white. Hope. The day, the Zuma is struggling. You guys might end up with the car. For just the cost, you have a cup of coffee per day. You can get Rebecca a coffee maker. Yeah. Like those commercials from the 90s where you'd like sponsor a kid from Africa.

Exactly. Hars for kids. And it's got to play that's, it's got to play Sarah McLaughlin. Yeah, I was just going to say, like this Sarah McLaughman song. Angel by Sarah McLaughman. It's a great song. This is the best idea we've ever come up with. I'll get my list going.

We can go to. You guys clearly don't watch Fox News. Rags. Yeah. I don't even have, I don't even watch TV at all. So Fox News is basically nothing about these commercials. My favorite Fox News commercials, it's like help feed elderly Jews. Not kidding.

Yes, Christians for Jews or whatever, send them a box. And it's like a sad old woman and she's like eating gruel. She's like living in a hut. Yeah. They're eating like what? I just like, you know my issue with it is how specific it is? I'm like, listen, if I'm going to feed hungry, hungry people, I'm not going to intentionally go out of me. Specific group.

Yeah, like the Jews need food. Is it in a specific place or do they just locate? specific Jewish people that need food? I think it's in Israel. Like poor people on Israel. Yeah. Interesting. I mean, I was under the impression.

Well, Israel does need our money, you know? Yeah, I was just thinking they didn't have enough of it. We should just give them more. Double it. Every day I read about Israel, I'm just like, oh, man, you know, they really need more of our money. You know, one thing that Israel is lacking is American. Our money.

Just a little bit more money. I was, I'm so glad you said, I'm so glad you were brave enough to. to admit that too. I know, you know, and everyone's thinking it, but nobody says it. You're right, everyone is. I can't, I can't walk down the street without bumping into a person who's going like,

I just wanna give Israel money. Yeah. How could I do it? I'm like, you know, your, your, your member of Congress is here to get your back. Gotta figure out their business strategy. You know what the Americans really care about. We need another A-PAC. Yeah, it needs to be a second A-PAC.

What should we call it? No, no, the problem with A-PAC is that they try to, it's gotta be more overt. It's got to be like, give Israel money pack. Yeah, Chich-Chang Pack. Chich-Ch-Chay. That might be misinterpreted. Fitching back.

Scratch that. We'll workshop it. I probably shouldn't say any of my ideas on the show. Maybe in the unsensored portion. The after show you can get away with it. We'll freestyle a little bit more there. There you go. We're accomplishing a lot. This is good.

Here's an updated question that we ask all the time with new people here. I wonder what you think. What do you think would be in the event of an economic crisis and like total collapse, like no access to stores, what do you think? What do you think is an item that right now is remarkably cheap, but will become remarkably impossible to get in the event of economic crises? I think cigarettes. Cigarettes aren't useful. After an economic collapse, nobody's going to want cigarettes. Alcohol is a big one.

Vices usually become a currency when, like, society collapses. What do you say? Vices can become a currency, like, when society collapses. So because they're not like a necessity, it's like, oh, I'll barter you some cigarettes for your whiskey. I think in the event that people are starving and dehydrated cigarettes are going to have no value. Really? I feel like people are just going to try to sedate themselves. I'm pretty sure alcohol is a big one.

That's what they do in war. Alcohol will be valuable, but alcohol is incredibly easy to get. In the event of a... I mean, bathtub moonshine. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, people are made. And, you know, I had said before antiseptics, but people corrected me that what alcohol is incredibly easy to... to make and you can use that to, you know, sterilize things.

I mean, what do people loot these days? It's like Louis Vuitton bags. They're like... Yeah, but that's not real economic crisis. I mean, Democrats would argue that these people just really needed that Louis Vuitton bag. They are in the economic crisis. You're stranded in the middle of the woods. You need things. You're not going to ask her cigarettes.

Obviously food, but food isn't particularly hard to come by outside of cities. Baby formula. Oh, baby formula. Baby formula is not real food for babies. Babies can't survive on formula. It's fake. Yeah. Wait, what?

Maybe, like... I should know this. It's like seed oils. Yeah, formula babies are stunted. Well, that I know. I know it's definitely not as good as just like normal breast milk, but it doesn't, it doesn't, like, nourish the baby at all? Sure, it does.

But, like, you know, it's just not as good as the real thing. Not as good as an understatement. It's not maha-coded. No, no, no, no, no. It's like, yes, you can survive off. of rations, but what is surviving? Like, your muscles are still going to atrophy. And so, yeah, formula kids, pure formula kids are usually severely stunted.

Is there like an IQ? Massive difference. Yeah. Immune response, neurological disorders, everything. Just look at the ingredients. I mean, I'll just ask you this. Like, hey, I don't know, the breast milk of the mother, which is formulated specifically by the mother's body for exactly what the baby needs.

Or corn syrup. Right, exactly. Because baby formula is corn syrup. It's all seed oils. And oils, yeah. It's such a funny insult and be like, well, you were probably a formula baby. To be fair, though, it's true, though. To be fair, babies can't eat food.

They can eat formula. Yeah. So formula would be valuable. I do think because, and I'm not disparaging anyone who's ever used formula. Like, my family used formula because sometimes you need to because we don't have communal wet nursing anymore. It's going to be pretty wild, though. If we get a true economic collapse, women have to rediscover wet nursing, and they're not going to want to do it.

I don't even know what's... You know what? Yeah, I guess we'll find out when it happens. You know what it is, though, right? Wet nursing? Is that like when you borrow? It's when all the women get together and they trade babies to suck on their boobs. So, like, your neighbor next door will be like... This is communism, right?

I thought we didn't like that. What's really funny is that for, like, the entire existence of humanity, save the last hundred years, is a completely normal thing. milk siblings would be like you grew up next to a kid and first time mothers don't produce enough milk usually and so they would give the baby to their neighbor who produced too much milk and then she would nurse the baby and then that woman's son and his next door neighbor they'd be milk siblings it's like it's like Eskimo what is that? Eskimo kisses.

Eskimo yeah no. Eskimo brothers. Yeah. Yeah. That's different though. That's kind of concept. That is inappropriate. What you're talking about, that's, okay, you know what?

Feeding babies? Oh, where's yours? Oh, no, that's not. Okay, but I bet the babies, like, probably come out way stronger. Oh, no, they're probably go. Because if you're getting, like, milk from, like, different mothers, I bet there's, like, oh, you probably grow, like, a stronger, like, range of immunity. This is really crazy.

Guys, it's the end of the world. AI is taking over. We're going to become robots. Women don't even know this, and they don't even know that the baby's saliva goes into the boob and changes the composition of the milk. It's true. I didn't know that. You've taught me a lot today.

You're a woman. Yeah, and I'm 24. I'm really a learn on the job. The average age of having a kid throughout human history was 22. I know. I'm behind, okay, I had it. Everyone is. I'm working on it, but.

I'm 51 in my kids a year. We just had our first kid as well. I'm almost 50 years old. Wow. Easy. You know, I'll get there. I always been to learn on the job type of gal. You know, I show up on the first day and I give in my old.

Let's say there's, total economic collapse, major war. Yeah, women are going to have to, like, society would bring back wet nursing. Like, women are going to get together and be like, oh, let me nurse your baby. That's what they would do. Bring back wet nursing. A wet nurse is a woman who provides milk for other people's babies. Yeah.

Wow, that's like some. You didn't know that was a thing? I think I've heard of it, but I just haven't, I honestly, all of my relatives live outside of the U.S. except with one exception. and so I just haven't been around babies that much. There you go. Milkkin chip. Oh, wow.

I feel like that would be, that would be something that would be more common outside of the U.S. Yeah, I just mean I haven't like literally been around babies until friends my age have started having babies. I held a baby for the, not for the first time, but for the first time in a while recently. And the mom was like, smell the back of this head. And I was like, okay.

And so I did. And I was like, What's going on here? It's totally, it's a real thing. It's really cool. But no, yeah, like I said, I'm just, I really, I like to learn on the job. And I think that maybe this is naive, but I feel like women just kind of, they'll figure it out, right? I'm like, right, guys?

It'll be okay, right? I mean, look, when it comes to having a kid, everything is figured out. They literally hand you a baby and say, take it home, don't let it die. Right. Yeah, that sounds, okay, that's like a good starting point. Plus, you have nine months. By the time you figure it out, you're like, oh, you lock in. for those nine months and then you, by the time, you know, the baby shows up, then you've

heard a book and it's probably okay. Enslaved, what? What? What? We know that. Okay, well, people, like, I can't believe people don't know this. Yes, they made slave women nurse white babies. Well, to be fair, our society, and this is obviously a very recent development, but our society is not very, like, it's obviously not very pro-natalist, very low birth rate. comparatively you don't see like women doing this in public very often like women are don't talk about it very much at least again my my perspective is skewed because I just haven't been a lot of mothers who had just had babies but our society isn't encouraged talking about this sort of stuff it's actually kind of the opposite they're like oh you're pregnant kill it and it's like no

they don't teach you about this stuff they just tell you what to do when you get pregnant which is I mean if I understand correctly when I A girl goes to the female doctor the first time. The first thing they say is like, all right, let's get you on birth control. Yeah, they're like, here's birth control. Also, do you want an abortion on the way out? I don't even know what just happened. I just want to make sure I don't have cancer.

Like, thanks. They'll give you a lollipop. Take these pills every day. All right, yeah. The rest of your life. It's going to, yeah, it's going to make it feel like life isn't real until you finally decide to stop doing it. So, yeah, anyway. This is, I feel like it's been a very Rebecca heavy portion of the podcast because I'm the only girl here.

It's the FOIDCast. Voidcast. Voidcast. I mean, you know what you were getting into. I think it's more so that the guys know more about the girl stuff than the girls. Why, you know, that happened. I think it's the people with children about the person that doesn't have children. Do you know more than Rebecca either?

I don't. I can't say I was very, you know, familiar with wet nursing. Yeah, I know. We can inform everyone tomorrow. So you said you just had it? How old are you? My daughter just turned one in September. Okay.

Yeah. Congrats. Audrey, she's very cute. She's very sweet. I love her to death. Would you fight a grizzly bear for her? Oh, absolutely would. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely would. I do anything. Yeah, I mean, it's one of the reasons why I've started caring more about some of this prepping stuff, too. It's like I've got this little adorable person that I need to, that I'm in charge of taking care of. She's the sweetest little angel you ever saw, you know? I'd fight two grizzly bears at the same time. Totally, dude. Oh, yeah.

I have to believe I'm going to win because, you know, I have to try, right? That's right. The adrenaline you never know. Yeah. Does she play with the ducks? She does. She likes to watch the ducks. She likes to watch the dog.

She gets all excited about the dog. That's like top five reasons to have a kid. It's watch them play with animals. Like he doesn't like a dog. It's been amazing, actually. Like, it's really, I mean, this is like so cliche. But it's like, you know, you get to sort of relive childhood.

Childhood through your kid. Yeah. And it's really fun. Well, it's cliche for a reason. Yeah. It's true, you know. I think the reason so many young men feel listless and purposeless is they don't have kids. I agree.

I mean, obviously women as well. But there's like the male loneliness epidemic. They talk about it. Guys want to, but can't. But another thing I see is that a lot of my friends who are middle aged and they're like, I'm bored, I'm depressed. I don't know what to do. And I'm like, yeah, because you don't have kids.

I totally agree. Like if you had a kid when you were 30 and you were 40 now, you'd be like, I got stuff to do. My kid needs me. You'd be playing catch out in the park, you know? Instead, you're just sitting there being like, here's a thing. You're a 40-year-old guy. You've been to every bar. You've traveled.

You've played every video game. You've seen every movie. Every new movie you see is just really similar to the last movie you saw. You're bored and you're like, man. But then you have a kid and you're excited to show your kid all the things that you liked. And then when your kid's laughing and enjoying it, you're like, I love this again, you know? It's so true. It's so true. What's the most fun thing that you guys have taught your children?

Or like a memory or an interaction. You're like, oh, I remember doing this as a kid. Like, what are the highlight reels? So my kid's only a year. My kid had his first birthday last week. Oh, congrats. Same age. So he doesn't do a whole lot.

He does a lot of crawling, pick up things and throw them. He might be listening. He's asleep. But one of the coolest things is like, the first time that they put their hands up and want you to pick them up. Or they want to, you know, want to hug or whatever. That must feel so good. It's the best. Like, you know the feeling when a dog walks over to you, you're like, yes.

And that's just a dog. If a baby does that, everyone in the world has disappeared. It's really fun. Unless it's a pit bull because then I crossed the street. Right. And I moved my purse to the other side. I taught my daughter to clap. Did you really?

I taught my daughter to clap. And it's so cute. And so she'll just randomly just be sitting on the floor and she'll just start clapping or. You know, and we got her a little, like, toy drum set. And so I'll just sit there and, like, play the drums for her and kind of show her. And then she gets all excited and grabs the drumsticks and starts hitting it. It's, you know, just stuff like that. It's so super rewarding.

All right, you sold me. Get on it. Kids are great. They really are. TBD. Especially when they're your kids. Yeah. Especially.

I do babysit a little bit in the area because there's, like, once you babysit for one family, they're like, we got one that's not weird. And then you just start babysit a little bit. something a problem and it's so fun to see like I've maybe some pretty young kids like three years old sometimes and it's so funny to see how big of personality they have at such a young age they're like obsessed with WWE and you're like what are you like what you're three but it's awesome it's really fun they're the most interesting entertaining like infinitely entertaining it's fun to make it's fun to get them to like make faces and mimic the faces like and they make it back to you it's fun for a long time

the communication between me and my kid was, and then he'd go, but you had an understanding. Yeah, we did. We totally understood each other, but it's a lot of fun, you know, it's just in there, pushing the baby carriage or walking by the baby carriage,

and I'll just go, yeah, they go through all these different phases where they're doing different things. So, like, my daughter used to make these funny little, like she'd stick out her tongue and do all this kind of stuff. She doesn't do it anymore,

but there was like a little phase where she's doing that, and now, I'm like, oh, I'm kind of sad. It's over, you know. Stop, like, come on, Breon. You kind of get to live through it once. On the raspberries again.

I like that. Yeah. It was fun. We're going to go to your Rumble Rant and Super Chats. So smash that lag button. Share the show with everyone, you know. Cabbage Roll says rep Preston Brooks, S.C. beat Senator Charles Sumner.

Nearly to death of the cane and the Senate on May 22nd, 1856. If they can get away with it, they will attempt it. Yikes. Bino-Chay says, Mary Portola herself is on video. calling for harsh punishment for election fraud and lying. Well, you know, that's what she wants. She had a scandal where she was texting her staffers, like, she was calling people retarded in the group chat, and it was, for a second, she was writing a high.

I was like, oh, she's kind of chill, you know? And then she did this whole thing, and now she's back on the bad side. It always turns out like this. So there was that case where they arrested the, like, Senate pro tempore president in Virginia for running this, like, huge, like, racketeering conspiracy with her, like, dispensary and then they like pulled up her tweet from like three years ago and she was like no one is above the law oh yeah it's always it's always like the same story of like these people will say the right thing in the public square and then turn around and do it to it you know enrich themselves

Elon Ma'ilan Saeed must have said must have like a hundred tweets where she said no one's above the law Donald Trump's a criminal blah blah blah man so that's her real last name is Said that's what was that was what was revealed oh no more yeah how me isn't it's a Isn't it? Ilhan Nur Syed Elmi. Oh, okay. All right. So did Johnson says, I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone cover James O'Keefe inside

Abdul-Said's campaign with a staffer, admitting they know he's taking foreign money and it's illegal. We should watch it in after show. Wow. Keo says, AI will save the right. The ultimate pattern recognition machines seem to always become racist and xenophobic fascist right-winger, no matter how hard they try to lobotomize it. That's true. Yeah.

Any sufficiently unmoderated system inherently becomes right wing or something. Is that saying? Joe Giggles says, if governments are saying to prepare, et cetera, then it's clear they are planning something and know something because otherwise, why the warning? The warning absolves them of the guilt. Oh, well, we told them. Well, it's not just that. If they come out and say, guys, there's going to be a major nuclear war. It's going to get really bad.

You're all going to die. The economy halts. Everybody stops. They panic. They run and hide. So they slowly trickle out. Hey, get ready. You should be prepared, right?

then when the disaster does happen, the system is a bit more resilient. Yeah. I mean, that's what they're doing in the UK. The prep that they're, you know, advertising is not for any impending doom. They're saying, oh, just in case something happens. It sort of feels like a get out of jail free card or something.

Yeah. The Fallen 501 says just a heads up, Tim. Most of our interceptors for nuclear missiles are located on the West Coast and the Pacific Coast. That is the West Coast, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. But even still, like, even if just most

of them are, that doesn't mean that there aren't a whole bunch of them around DC. Shade P says, my folks keep trying to get me to go back to college and get an engineering degree, but from what I'm seeing, it will just be a waste of time and money. I don't make a lot, but I'm happy to turn a wrench. H.S. Disturbs, as for those looking to prep, don't forget to get extra pairs of glasses, you don't want to end up like piggy. It's true. That's a good point. It's a great call.

Yeah. Should have got it LASIC years ago. Oh, I disagree. I'll never get LASIC. I got it in 2012, and it's been phenomenal. I just have bad vision. I just live like this. I could never do the LASIC. Cut your eyeball.

I can, it's fine. Like, I can drive. What's your, we're in context right now, right? No. What's your prescription, do you know? No. Can you read the screen? If I squint, yeah.

Oh, your vision's not that bad. It's really not that bad. I can actually drive. At this range, minus 1.5 minus 1. Probably not that big a deal. I think I have like a statement. You can read that. If I open my eyes completely, there's a little bit of a seeing devil situation,

but if I just lock in, it's fine. I can read that. Yeah, your eyes are actually fine. Yeah, I agree. That's why I don't. You didn't get bad eyes. Yeah, I mean, I have glasses, and my vision's definitely not perfect, but I've made it this far. Metho says, you want spices as currency.

A pinch of pepper was worth more than its weight in gold before global commerce. Empires went to war over it. Yes, but that's after the fact. It's ridiculous things are valuable. when you have abundance. Like, this show is valuable. But imagine going back 300 years and being like, would you all pay a guy to sit there and complain about stuff?

They'd be like, no, get to work, go farm. Pepper corn, that's what we want. Well, they had corn, they had wheat, they had meat because they had basic farming. So what became really valuable was the things that were harder to get, like black peppercorn. So they killed lots of people over it. You know? And it is what it is.

This is like the thing about how salt has like, is the reason everything's named every. thing. Like soldiers are named soldiers because of salt, because they used to be paid in salt. Salt is like it's, I kind of want to... It's like the currency. Yeah. It has like sort of influenced the names of

so many different things. Salary is because of salt because they would pay them in salt. I'm at, the internet says otherwise. The word soldier comes from solidus, the Roman gold coin. Originally referred to a solid Roman

coin used to pay troops. Soldarius means one having to pay or a hired fighter. Sudier translated to mercenary or someone receives a wage in middle English. Sudior, soldior, borrowed into English on the 14th century, eventually shifting into modern spelling soldier. What about salary? Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm 0 for one.

Salary, huh? It's probably the same thing. Because, well, I'm going to hold my tongue just in case I get back. Salary comes from the Latin word salerium, salarium, which translates to salt money. You are close. You were the wrong way. Salt money. The allowance for purchasing salt derived from sal, the Latin word for salt.

Boom. There was a lot of other words that I can't recall now. I believe you. Thank you. Let's find out. I believe you too. What words were named for salt? How people are going to love this.

Wow. Stop giving me the business internet. Let's see. Salary, salad, sauce, salami, sausage, saline. Well, that's obvious. Halogen, really. Coal slaw. Huh?

Oh, because slaw comes to the Dutch word salad, which salad means salt. Oh. Who would have known? Salad is derived from salata, salted herbs. Yeah. Greens with brine. Really? Interesting.

I learned so much this episode. Saltsburg, Australia means salt town. Tulsa means salty. What? Salsa Maggiore? Italian. The big salt place. Salt Lake City.

Oh, look at this. Any town that ends in which, including the word sandwich, comes from brine and salt production wells. Salt is everything. Dude, you cook. I'm a salt truther. What about Wichita?

I wonder if that has anything to do with salt. Brine. No, that's fine. of America. Saltata. Hmm. Let's see. What do we have?

What is this? Project Deva says, take two, nothing clever. You were busy reading headers last night. Welcome my third child, first daughter, Stella. Oh, congratulations. Oh, look at it. Congratulations. Congratulations.

Congratulations. A free-thinking dog says, Alaska in Senate race. Democrats sought out same-named people to intentionally confuse voters and steal votes in the GOP. They are all corrupt. Lock him up. Jail. Martin Edgar. Occam's razor would suggest this is training in a skill that hasn't been trained in a long time.

You're talking about the military base thing? You know, we haven't trained for digging mass graves since Korea. That's the report. The question is, what made them think, you know, maybe we should make sure we're running drills on mass graves. Something happened that put, you know, out of sight out of mind. right? Well, the inverse is true too, so you know what I mean? And there's also a lot of things that the military does that we never find out about, and it's kind of a too big a coincidence that, oh, they're prepping for 90 days,

oh, they're prepping to dig mass graves and we're all, you know, tuned into it. I don't like that. I feel like this is just a hypothesis, but I feel like the government, in my opinion, mostly untrustworthy. And why would they, tell us if they were actually going to do something like this. I feel like in the fact that all these governments are all sort of saying the same thing, it feels like some kind of operation to me, some kind of sci up to me a little bit. It's sort of like that idea of like, oh, they're breadcrumbing the disaster so that when something does happen,

they can sort of wipe their hands clean of it. That's one way of thinking of it. But I mean, you're right. I similarly scare the skepticism. It's not like they're giving bad advice, though. No, that's the thing. It's like I think everyone he should prepare. It's just what they're saying now specifically.

Like, I do take it seriously to an extent just because I care about prepping a little bit. But at the same time, some alarm bells are going off for me because why would all these governments who clearly don't like us? I mean, you look back at COVID. It's not like the government wants to help us. Like, it was a punishment. You know, it wasn't, they weren't helping us in any way. So it's not like their motivations have changed in five years. Like I, that's just my perspective.

I just don't necessarily trust it. They should make like a department of survival. And they can make bear grills the secretary. And they just teach everyone, they like give people survival packs. They teach them how to do drills on how to survive. That would be drinking their own urine. Or making a sheathing bag. Or eating raw fish.

Yeah, or like, can, yeah, you do like with a stick. You can go to like FEMA's website. and they have a list of this stuff. And it's there all the time. But Department of Survival sounds really cool. And also, we need to bring Bear Girls back into the lexicon. I bought a book that explains everything. So it's like how to build a computer is like the most extreme end.

But at the beginning, it's like how to start a fire, how to build shelter. But then it explains basic smelting, how to find iron, how to find magnets. So it's like if you were trying to rebuild civilization, it has everything in it for you. Pretty cool.

Sir, do you want to shout anything out?

I do. Thank you. I have a documentary coming out in two weeks on November 13th called Generation COVID. I've been working on it since 2022. It features a lot of kids and a lot of experts. Dr. J. Bottacharya is a big voice in the film. And we've got a bunch of journalists. And it's a deconstruction of the.

COVID era through the lens of the lockdowns and how it impacted kids and their families. But it also is a commentary on the media. There's a ton of third-party archival clips in the film. So all these news clips and all this material that was produced during that time to help tell the story. And it really brings people back to that time to help people remember all the insanity. Because I think a lot of us have kind of forgotten about it or put it out of our minds. but the film really takes you through the entire process of what happened during COVID

and it's pretty hard to argue with. I think it's a really interesting film and I think a lot of people will find it interesting. It'll be available November 13th and we have a trailer. We have a website, it's Generation COVID Film.com, I believe. And the trailer is all over. It went viral. The trailer was on Twitter for a while last year and a lot of people have probably seen it. But if you haven't, you can check it out.

and it's coming out soon, and I think you will like it. All right. Definitely we'll be checking that out because, to your point, I have definitely blocked out a lot of the COVID years, and it's probably important though we revisit them. So, yeah, I'll definitely be checking that out. From the safety of a couch in my living room. Yes, from the safety of my home with my MRI

and with my barricaded apartment door, I'll be watching your documentary. Yeah, my singular, my one ration. MREs don't last that long. Okay, well, you got to give me something. I don't know what to start. We bought a bunch of Amoryas a couple years ago. They all expired in like a year or two. I guess I'll find something else to survive off of.

But in the meantime, you can, before the world ends, you can read my byline at The Daily Caller, and you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and The Talk at Rebecca Zalko, R-E-E-E-K-A-Z-L-J-O. Well, that was a great plug. But similarly, go read the Daily Caller. feel free to go read my daily newsletter State of the Day on Substack.

It's a great read. It's just my daily takes. We did a great piece on Killing Mbapé having to issue an apology to the CCP yesterday because he made a joke about Mao Zedong, which was ridiculous. And that's why American football is the only real football

and we should call it soccer. China can suck it. There you go. I am Phil that remains on Twix. You can check out my Patreon. That's patreon. That's patreon.com slash Phil the remains. The band is all the remains. You can check out our stuff on Apple Music, Amazon,

music, Pandora, YouTube, Spotify, and Deezer. Don't forget the left lane is for crime. Carter. Thanks for coming, everyone. There's a great conversation. I got to check out the documentary when that comes out. You said November 13th. November 13th, yep. Nice. I'm Carter Banks.
