PLAGUE GETS WORSE, Russia Locks Down Hospitals, ANOTHER Person Passes w/ Josh Anderson
123m 21s
A recent report from Russian media claims a second death from pneumonic plague in the Erkutsk region, prompting widespread concern and a lockdown of six hospitals. The Russian government denies lab accidents and downplays the threat, while local whistleblowers and Soviet-era records suggest a possible bioweapon breach at a BSL-3 facility. The narrative is amplified by a nonfiction book by Annie Jacobson, which details a catastrophic pandemic from a lab leak—though it's framed as a war game, not a prediction. Experts note that pneumonic plague is deadly, with up to 30% fatality without treatment, and spreads via respiratory droplets, making rapid response critical. However, the lack of visible spread or confirmed cases, combined with a calm public response in some areas, leads to skepticism about the severity. Meanwhile, the story of the "Cornell 7" case has shifted dramatically: one man reported sexual assault in 2022, with the school taking no action, and now allegations suggest the accuser may have been intoxicated and the incident consensual. This has ignited debate over consent, gender accountability, and institutional negligence. Both narratives reveal how real events can be distorted by political agendas, media sensationalism, and public fear—highlighting the danger of overreaction and the need for transparency, investigation, and balanced public discourse.
[MUSIC] Russian media is now reporting a second person has died from this new monoc plague. We're getting reports that six hospitals, I think maybe it might be five, but I've heard rumors. Six hospitals are under a lockdown. Neighboring countries are running health screens of the border. This is blown up online, but it could just be a big nothing burger. Looking at some live feeds from the Erkutsk region, people are like, well, you see some people in hazmat suits, but they don't seem to be overracting. Meanwhile, the US is pissed because they're not overreacting. Could this be a big nothing burger? Well, the crazy thing about the story is that a woman wrote a book identifying basically this exact scenario that your cineapestus, pneumonic plague, would be, would there be an outbreak from a biolab in Serbia and within weeks, everybody's dead. Okay, I don't know, but this is a narrative nonfiction, right? Not, not a fiction book to war game. I don't know that if it's reasonable to actually expect everybody dies. But with an election around the corner, everybody's kind of like, you know, when we start getting these crazy reports, the government of Russia denying things and appearing to cover it up, people start speculating as to what may actually be going on. Talk about that. Plus, we've got new developments, of course, in the Cornell 7 case. I'm going to keep it a little light for the intro to this show because, you know, we'll give you a fair warning. But apparently now, one of the men who was accused, new information has been released that actually in November of that year, he had reported that he was assaulted by her. He had actually reported to them. She assaulted him. No action was taken. We are now two years on when she's filed this lawsuit. It is turned into a wacky story. Could it be this woman, this Jane Doe actually assaulted these guys and preempted their claims? Because they had reported her for assault. Let me just say it like this because I want to keep it light for the intro to the show. The kind of assault he's accused of is embarrassing to a man. It's something a man may actually report someone doing to them. Like, I'm not going to get graphic or anything. But now the story is very weird. It was very weird from the get go. But of course, we will talk about that. And we got these riots going on in France. They're expanding. We're hearing rumors that now they're writing in other parts of Europe as well. And this is because students were mad at bad schools and teacher shortages. So they're going to riot and cause property damage and physical damage, straining resources and making schools worse off. I guess whatever. So we're going to talk about all of that. My friends, smash the like button, share the show with all of your friends, joining us tonight. Talk about this and everything else. We got Josh Anderson. Hey, thank you. Glad to be here tonight. Absolutely. Who are you? What do you do? Josh Anderson co-founder of Sound.Money. Sound money wallet. My business partners and I.

You're fighting. You're fighting for causes that we all care about. I could never compare myself to the noble rooster. They're fantastic. Roosters will sacrifice themselves for their ladies. I can only hope to one day. Actually, no, I don't want to die. And my family needs me alive. But should it ever come to that? I hope I can be as noble as the rooster and do what must be done to save my family. But we were talking about this. We want to launch a bunch of these. These are amazing.

It'll, you know, it makes sense now, sound money with the guitar pick. Totally. Yeah, he made a silver. He gave me a silver AC DC guitar pick. I played it. It is the heaviest guitar pick I've ever used. Well, it's kind of heavy. It's not like a normal guitar pick, but AC DC loved it when we did it for them. Very cool. Right on. Before, what was it? I just, is it like made of silver? Yes. Yeah. An actual silver guitar. I played with it. It's a shame with it. It sounded really cool. Yeah. Like, Tate was staring at me like, you know, I've like, this is, he's like, what is this is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life? You did like a slide with it. That'll be sick.

Thanks for sponsoring the show guys, but let's jump into the news. We got this from the daily mail. Russian media claims a second victim has died from plague outbreak at infection zone hospital is Kremlin scrambles to cover up the details. CVS of course reporting Russia down plays down plague fears and denies lab accidents as scientists died of pneumonia of unknown origin. And then of course, my friends, we've got this from less wrong. How much should we worry about the pneumonic plague lab leak in Siberia? Now we don't know for sure how much of this is we know there are certain things that are true. Some of this rumor in you window. So far, we've heard local media said there was a lab breach at a biosecurity level three lab in our cuts. This woman died of of pneumonia of pneumonic plague, but those reports were rescinded and deleted. And the government does not say nothing happened. The initial quarantine covered 200 people. The FSB is the Russian FBI was seen assisting in quarantine. Soviet air whistleblowers like Ken alabet claim or cuts was a major bio weapon development facility. The quarantine is expanded to five hospitals in the area. I've heard this may not be correct, but I've heard on X following this that another hospital was quarantined, but it could be wrong. The Russian government has switched to denial and cover up local news sources have deleted mentions of pneumonic plague. Now here's what gets real crazy. Annie Jacobson wrote a New York Times bestseller. She published it in July of 2026 in which she outlines a Yersenia Pestus pneumonic like the same bacteria, breaching a biosecurity lab and causing a massive pandemic. Her book, she's probably floating. I mean, maybe not because if this is actually happening, it's terrifying. But I mean, she's probably selling those books out like hotcakes. It's like this is it's her book is a narrative nonfiction, meaning it's a war game. Basically, she does real interviews and she writes, here's what would happen if this thing happens. Local universities and schools have canceled classes and extended mask mandates on the lab's website. They mentioned gain of function research for making bacteria more virulent. They say why it might be a big deal. We'll go quick on this one. Regular pneumonic plague is not that hard to deal with, but a weaponized one if it was a lab is going to be seriously difficult. If it's only one infection, why quarantine five hospitals, if it wasn't a big deal, why is the Russian government involved? If it is a bioweapon, it could be bad. And then they cite Annie Jacobson's latest book, saying much of the world was dead within the first few weeks of the first infection. I asked AI if pneumonic plague is treatable antibiotics. And it said, well, the death rate would still be between eight and 30%. But that's them asking AI. So it's not really relevant to what we know. Soviet whistleblower say they've successfully created a competent plague with antibacterial resistance and much higher virulence. Why it may not be a big deal. Well, I wasn't researchers are saying they check in street camps. They don't see anything. Don't forget nothing ever happens. We don't know have a lot of info on the whole thing. There's no reported second case from officials until now from the media. This story, of course, coming a day after this less wrong article. So now we're saying there is a second case. This person says if it's not a bioweapon, it's fine. Antibiotics and you're fine. Super four casers at Sentinel think the odds of a pandemic are less than one percent. We do have an update. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan are now doing screening health checks at the Russian border to contain the potential spread. The Russian equivalent of HHS is now denying there was an accident at all. Unconfirmed reports of antibiotics running out in Erkutsk. Probably not. I don't know. Kevin S. felt the saying that it's either a bioweapon or it's not plague. Now here's
This is what really freaks me out. This Kevin S. Felt guy. He's an MIT media lab guy. And what is he said? Well, aside from saying yes, all this is happening. He says, we should stockpile pandemic proof PPE and install germicidal far UV and glycol mistors in public spaces. What? OK, so either this dude's nuts and it's overreacting. And he's getting a million views, 900,000 views on this post, or he's an MIT guy who's smart and right. And we should panic, I guess. Well, panic didn't do us any good in COVID. So it feels good to run around screaming. Does that feel good? I hate it. It's not my favorite thing, panic mode. I vote against panic mode, guys. Yeah, I think it's time to panic freak out. Well, this is certainly this lady, whatever. I forget her name already. I mean, this is like the-- Is Annie? Annie? Annie, Annie. Are you OK, Annie? That's kind of embarrassing. This is like, no one is rooting for this to be like a completely lethal civilization ending disease in her, because imagine how many books she's going to sell. I mean, this would be like the greatest thing ever. She might have something. Well, this is the double edged sword. She wrote this book. And the best case scenario is that we're all scared, but nothing happens. Yeah. In the event they're actually, as a plague, they'll be known to buy a book. It was like Michael Burry in the run up to the housing market. He's like, yeah, it's going to destroy the economy, but I'll benefit. So he was cheering in many ways for a housing marketically explode. She's sort of in a similar situation here. I don't know. I'm in the-- Yesterday, I was like, this could be bad, but I was coming through it today. And even in a worst-case scenario, plague ink victims-- those of us who've played plague ink over the years-- know that if it kills you too quickly, then it can't spread. And it appears that these people are dying within like three days of exposure, so-- It's airborne, isn't it? Yeah, it's airborne. And that's why, you know, here's what you should consider. What are the repercussions of this story? If it's true, I don't know, we might die. If it's not true, what's the one thing that will happen in either case? There is a potential for the US government to overreact. And if they do overreact, we could get lockdowns. Right. You know, we actually-- look at this suite from Annie Jacobson. Has Russia's heavy-handed response to the BSL-3 lab accident in Siberia stop the outbreak from becoming an epidemic? Here's how an outbreak becomes an epidemic. One of the narratives it's emerging is the reason why this is contained-- if it is contained-- is because they locked down all of these hospitals and quarantined and masked. So they're going to say, yes, it's out there. If everybody locks down, hey, two weeks, and we prevent this pneumonic plague, and then what do you get? Two weeks becomes two years. Well, there's a big difference, too, between locking down hospitals and locking down society and people in their homes. So it makes sense to quarantine a hospital if there's plague. Well, here's a question for you. Does it make sense to quarantine my neighborhood? Let's say, by the end of next week, we have 1,000 dead. In Russia? In Russia. Will we know about it? And they tell us-- like hypothetically, let's say, one week from now, we're sitting here at IRL. And the latest report is death toll climbs to 1,000 as pneumonic plague spreads rapidly out of control, escapes the Siberia region. Would y'all advocate for a lockdown? Yeah. Not a chance. We already experienced this. Not a chance. And I don't think-- Yeah, but COVID, COVID-- COVID's death rate was what, like, 0.3? Yeah. Talk about 30%. I think it depends where you're at in the country, right? There's certain parts of the country might, but I'm telling you, I live out in the West United States. And where I live, there's a bunch of men, cows, and horses. And if you tell them to lock down, they didn't go for it last time. This time, it ain't happening. I don't think so. I think that if we get a pneumonic plague and we're watching videos of people vomiting and then collapsing in the street-- If it's 30%, yeah, I think-- Yeah, it's 30%. Yeah, if it's a 30% tile range of mortality, yeah. And those cowboys are-- You're going to walk up to them and they're going to point a gun at you and say, get the property. And that's the reality right there on me. They'll self-quarantine. They'll stay away from you. That's the point. Well, we have 40 acres. That's a lot easier. Like, the less wrong said, eight to 30% with antibiotic treatment. Who knows if that's true. But as Tate pointed out the other day, what's scary about this is that reportedly a 28-year-old woman who should not be dying of bacterial infection, especially that antibiotics died. Do we really think it's what they say it is, right? I mean, the real question here to me is it, is it really a pneumonic plague or is it a bio-weapon? Is it something else? I mean, there's a lot of smoke here. It's just different. I'm not sure how it's surviving in Siberia. That's a really cold place. Well, they've had pneumonic plague in Eastern Russia for a while, but it's been through rats and birds and whatnot. So that's why initially no one was really that worried. I think the only thing that would make this alarming is if there is an indication that it is a bio-weapon of such. Oh, wow. Without treatment, pneumonic plague is 100% fatal. The World Health Organization says this. With antibiotics, averages around a 17% mortality. Early treatments, you must get antibiotics within 24 hours of symptom onset. This is all from the World Health Organization. This is crazy. What? I mean, I guess, stocking up on antibiotics. Do they say what? Do we make antibiotics in this country anymore, or are they all in India and they have to come through the straight-of-war move? Yeah, real. That's a good question. I know that there's an amoxicillin factory in Tennessee because a guy bought it. Plague is a very, this is from the World Health Organization. Plague is a very serious disease in people, particularly when the bacteria spreads to the bloodstream or infects the lungs, pneumonic plague. It is a case fatality ratio of 30% to 100% if left untreated. Okay, so it's not 100 guaranteed. It's just very high. Yeah, if this was actually hitting, and it's, I gotta be honest, you don't even need confirmation. COVID was freaky and people panicked, but then we found out the mortality rate was very low, was relatively low. If you've got a 30% to 100% mortality, dude, you don't need to tell me to lock down. I'm locking these doors. Ain't nobody coming anywhere near my property, my family. Makes sense. And I know a lot of people are gonna be like, don't fall for it, don't fall for it, it's like, look man. If I see people, like if I look, if I pull up X and there's Libby coughing and gagging on X, being like, I think I got it. I'm like, we're done. Like we're locking down. Nobody's coming over. I mean, it's like, it's one thing I get it, if you watch a video, like a guy in China collapses, and you're like, oh, something's happening, but then the government says we're gonna lock down. You're like, I don't know, 'cause I'm not seeing anything. But if I start seeing people I know online, being like, that it's like, okay. Did you see people getting really sick from COVID? Not that I personally knew. I sure. I remember I got COVID, but I don't, it wasn't. Mine was bad. I thought I was gonna die. I think I would have died had I not gotten monoclonal antibody. I got the monoclonal antibodies as well. And I remember I went into a, I called my insurance and the hospital, I was like, I need to get this. And they acted like there was something wrong with me for getting it. And I'm like, listen, I have a history of asthma. Give me the thing. You just need to make me think. My body temperature was like super low. Do you remember the exact number? But it was like, literally out for a week, I didn't even see you for the whole week. It was super low and I was like shaking. And then, yeah, I called the hospital, we called it ER and they were like, good luck. There's nothing we can do for you. And then I did what any smart person would do. I called the expert, Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan, yeah. He gave me some good advice. 'Cause he did that treatment, he did the kitchen sink treatment. And so I ended up getting monoclonal antibodies and within like six hours I was cured. Like, obviously not literally cured, but like I was no longer shaking. My body temperature was back to normal and I was watching house. And I was like, I feel great. Well, I think we're talking about two different things, right? When we didn't watch people on TV drop dead from COVID. And if we were to play this scenario out with this pneumonic plague, right? The symptoms would be very dramatic and quick death. This is the researcher passed away within 24 hours, right? So, yeah, this is totally different scenario. In that case, yeah, we might lock ourselves down and we might hide out and close our borders and do the things that we should do. But to relate it to COVID, it's quite different to me. I remember like when COVID hit and then these celebrities and whatnot were coming out that had had it. But I remember-- - Meaning a matching. Yeah, well, yeah. But I mean, like initially it was like what Tom Hanks and there's a soccer player and I think Rudy Gover, the NBA player. But they all look fine. So immediately it was like pretty disarming. But it was juxtaposed to the videos you were seeing coming out of China and coming out of Italy or whatnot where they were just carrying body of bags around. And when I was in college and I was in Queens, New York and they had people on hazmat suits coming into the campus and stuff. So I'm thinking like, oh, this is gonna be, you know, an extinction, like a crazy event. And then yeah, I remember I went home and I turned on the TV and it's the NBA game. And all these people like have COVID and they seem fine. So I'm like, what, it was just really tough for the first two weeks to truly gauge what was going on. - But that was true, like even with AIDS, Magic Johnson got AIDS and then he was cured of it. So I mean, if you're a wealthy, really in shape, healthy athlete, you're gonna do better with any illness. - Yeah, but I learned from South Park that he put money in a blender, pure rated, put it into an IV and it cured him. - I think that was-- - You gotta just lose him. - That was-- - Yeah. - I thought it was all of the advanced treatment he was able to get his hands on. - I think the joke was that if you're rich enough-- - No, I know. - You just pump the money right in your veins. - Yeah, it probably works. - I know, it cured him. - I think it works. - Because I only knew one person personally that died from COVID and he had a ton of preexisting conditions. If it wasn't that, I think common cold could have taken him out. You know, let's take care of himself, unfortunately. - Well, in our family, right? We had two weeks before the lockdown. We had been on a cruise all five of my children [BLANK_AUDIO]
something, my five sons and my wife and I, we came home, we all got the flu. And they said, "Oh, you got the COVID." And then we saw these crazy things on TV and it didn't jive with our reality. We went, "Well, we already had the COVID." And guess what, we feel great. And so at our house, they locked our schools down, our boys just riding motorcycles every day out to the sand dunes and played because they went, "Hey, I already got it, I feel great." And it's way different what we're looking at here in Russia today. - Do you guys feel more or less anxiety compared to the Haunted Virus cruise ships scare? - With this story, I think I feel blessed fearful of this than Haunted. Could it just be exposure? Like, okay, and other scare? - I think I'd be a little more freaked out by this. I wasn't that freaked out by the whole Haunted Virus thing. - I just remember 'cause it felt like it had already gone global. - Haunted viruses? - Yeah, 'cause remember they were like, "Oh, there's people in America with that." - Yeah. - So I was honestly afraid I'm gonna die, but I was just like, oh, great enough. - Well, the Haunted Virus thing was very clearly like airborne dusted rat feces. - Yeah. - And so, and it's been a problem for a long time in the Southwest and other places where that kind of thing collects and happens. So I think this is a little more terrifying, honestly. - I think, you know, we're not used to news articles, whether this is true or not, who knows, but at the end of the day, we're not used to the KGB, the CIA, Mossad, getting involved in the discussions of a epidemic, right? And what we just read, what you shared was that, hey, former KGB officers just got involved, the equivalent of our FBI. Well, no, it's the equivalent of our CIA or Mossad, right? These aren't normal actions, these aren't normal behaviors, and it is Russia, and the information we get is quite censored, and it's what they want us to get. And so. - Do you think they want us to be hearing about this? - I mean, that's-- - The midterm cycle. - Is this possible? - Is this a Russia, which over-surprise? - Yeah, what if Trump comes out in a week? Like, let's say the story spreads. Let's say next week, there's like 73 deaths. And Trump goes like, look, we've got an election coming up, we're going to be enacting security measures. We're going to send DHS and CDC facilitators. This is not about the election, it's about quarantine. How would Democrats argue against that? They spent the whole time during COVID arguing that Trump needed to do more, and he didn't. So if Trump comes out now, and he's like, look, we're not going to interfere in elections, these are health monitors from, you know, HHS. - Yeah, get the WHO up there and be like, hey, my answer died. - And then he says, because HHS doesn't have the capabilities, we'll be sending in law enforcement to assist. - We're following the science here, guys. - And by the way, we did learn one thing, the Liberals will stay home if they got hold to it. - Well, a lot of them are still masking, so they're already prepared. - I just flew out here. There was several on the plane with the masks. - Really with the masks? - Oh my goodness. - Yeah, I think I've seen this year, more masks, and more canes, specifically, with younger, clearly like neurodivergent people with ulterior sexual tendencies. And they carry canes around like the penguin. It's unbelievable. - You know what it is? What happened is the Democrats launched the Cornell story for their October surprise. And so Trump called Putin on his special phone that he had connected to Russia. He said, "I need to pay, I need to play October surprise." - So, you know, I think they're over the Russia gate. Yeah, they're over the Russia gate thing. I think we could do this and they wouldn't suspect it's really 'cause we've actually been best friends this whole time. - Right. - Release the plague. Tell the girl over the thing, you know, drop the vile, make it look like an accident. You know, oh, you tripped on a cold? - Oh, it was just AI. - I take one for the team. - The whole thing is just AI. - There is no researcher. - Has any of you ever been to Siberia? - No, which must mean it hasn't been this. - I even know what I really want to go. - I haven't been to Siberia. - You know, Siberia is as real as the ice wall. You've never checked, right? - It's true. - Siberia is just something parents made up to scare children like the Boogie Man or Michael Jackson. - Right, Alexander Solje need to never went there. There was no gulag. - No. - There was an entire. - Thomas is just something parents made up to scare children like the Boogie Man or Michael Jackson. - Or Napoleon. - There was an entire oblast in the Eastern part of Siberia, which was the equivalent of like a state and it's called the Jewish autonomous oblast. And it was the attempt to make an Israel before there wasn't Israel. - Is that real? - Soviet Union, the Soviet Union said it's called the GAO. - I think you made that up. - No, look up Jewish. It's still on their map. It's like an official staple, like no Jewish people live there. But yeah, they were like, "We'll just make our own Israel in Siberia." - No, I think you're mistaken. - Really? - Well, this is apparently the flag of the autonomous Jewish oblast. - Well, depending on who you ask, this track. This really is. If you look it up. - No, it's true. This is fascinating history. But there's not like a thousand Jewish people there. But it's like way out in the middle of nowhere. That is pretty far into nowhere. - Why do they have a pride flag as their flag? - It's a good question. - Yeah. - Well, the whole rainbow thing. - The whole rainbow thing. - Yeah, they took it. - Took it. - Remember Jesse Jackson had the rainbow coalition and it had nothing to do with gay stuff. - It would be a great symbol. - Yeah, South Africa. - Well, isn't the rainbow in Judaism? It's old testament. - It's old testament. - Yeah, it's the covenant with Noah. We're not going to flood Jews. - Like the Jews will eat the same thing. - Yeah, it's the same. - Yeah. - Exactly. - Taking it back. - We have the DLC that they don't. - So this is the Jewish autonomous oblast in Russia. It's one of their states. - Could you imagine having a state in the United States? Like literally just called like Israel. - Why is that? - Could you imagine if there was like an Israel of the United States? - Could you imagine the Dearborn Michigan? - Well, that's, that's. - I mean, I guess that we have like a little goodbye, I guess. - Yeah. - We have like Monroe, New York. That's like our version of. - We've got that. - Sure. - Well, because I remember when the Russia Ukraine war was kicking off and everyone was like, Russia is this like brave anti-Zionist state. And I was like, they might be more Zionist in the United States in many ways. Like they literally have a state just for Jewish people and they back Israel and like the current prime minister of Russia is, like nothing about it was indicating like it's just like brave anti-Zionist. - I'm glad it's like the opposite, actually. - I'm glad the US has nothing like that, you know. - Yeah, we love it. - The Jewish autonomous state. - We clearly have zero influence from Jewish people. - There's absolutely no equivalent, not even close. - Yeah. - Never. - So it's, well, you know. - New York maybe. - New York is the highest- - Los Angeles. - Los Angeles. - Oh, in Miami. (laughing) - And like two political parties. - But besides that. - But besides that, Kansas City is good. I think Kansas City is pretty just us in there, you know. - Well, now there's gonna be like a mix of like conservative Jewish people being like, you guys are anti-Semites and then, you know, liberal ones being, you know, like young Turks are gonna, we actually liked him, 'cause no. - I've had like six different episodes of the show where I get off and I have people accusing me of being an anti-Semite and then people accusing me of being like a 130s ionist. - I have the exact same thing. - Yeah, win. - Yeah. - It's because they're faked. They're not real people. - Is it just, my time is if you've gone to the, like, you know that Domino's recently launched the stuffed crust pizza. Okay, how many times have you gone in for a new Domino stuffed crust? - True. It's like, that'll be 1973 and you're Zionists, you know. You, it's like never happened to me one time. I have never met a person in real life who's been like your anti-Semitic or your Zionists. It's never happened. - Well, I think it's the internet. It's like, it's like internet gremlins. - Could be the middle ground as we all get really behind the Jewish autonomous oblast in Russia and say this, I'm fully supportive of this. You know, we'll break bread. As Zionists anti-Semite, everyone, let's break bread here. - Well, the initial plan for a Jewish state was Madagascar. - That's true. - I really liked that idea. Additionally, they were like the, the, I blanked on the name, the southeastern chain of islands of Alaska. - Wait, is that moving in New Endo then? - I'm not sure. - I kind of thought, instead of Israel, like the, you know, after World War II, all the refugees just sort of like populated New Mexico. - Yeah, they probably. - And we just sort of like made it New Mexico could have been Israel. - And then- - So this was- - So this one would have left everybody alone. - The Nazis had a plan called the Madagascar plan that identified the island as a potential site for the deportation of Europe's Jews. - Yeah, that was an initial plan. But what's interesting about Madagascar- - They just planned for the Nazis. - Right. - Well, they had a lot of plans. - They had a lot of plans. - They were really big on plans. - And they were the ones that were really, you know, talking about Jews. You know, it makes sense. They would have most of the discourse. - Yeah, but the Jewish autonomous oblast predates this. - Yeah, it was like in the 30s. - So the initial plan was not Madagascar. - No, there was plans before that, like discussions of where it should be, though, on Madagascar's proposed Alaska, there was portions of Alaska that were proposed. - So it was Russian- - You gone to it was also- You gone to it was like seriously considered by the British, which is fascinating. - I actually think that would have been way better. - I know, they picked it somewhere in Africa. - They picked it really violent. - Well, because I think it would bring stability to the region. - Perhaps, or perhaps they would have been massacred. - No way. If I like the same people that massacred everyone in Rhodesians in Bobway. - No way. With the US and Western forces arming the Israelis, look how they've succeeded in all the wars. Like this tiny little nation ending off the entirety of the Islamic Middle East. - Last time I checked, none of those places really worked just because, you know, once Moses took people out of Egypt, they all decided that the Promised Land was actually in Israel, so that's kind of the problem. And you know, that's kind of what they've been promised. And so that's where they're gonna go back to. - I don't know. - Yeah. - That's what the theology and all. - The trouble is, you guys promised us some other people. - I know, I'm like, guys, there's a lot of promises going on. You know, you got to, we could make that work. You know, you got, it gets close. - It's a river. - I'm still voting for New Mexico. - New Mexico, you know, that's not a hot spot. - They could have it. - The aliens, that's what I mean. - The aliens in a decent claim as well. - It's deserty, New Mexico, you know. - I don't get it back. - So CDC.
to statement and say CDC is aware, aware of in closely monitoring reports of a suspected case of pneumonic plague in the year cuts region of Russia that resulted in a death. We are working across the US government to assess developments. While the circumstance of the reported case remain unconfirmed, plague is a serious bacterial disease that is treatable with antibiotics. pneumonic plague can spread person to person through respiratory droplets. Here we go. The droplets during close contact, which is why rapid identification and treatment of infected individuals, blah, blah, blah. This time there's no indication of a broader threat to the US, but CDC and our interagency partners are prepared and will continue to the amount of the situation. If Trump came out a week before the election and said the plague story is getting bad, so we're going to issue lockdowns like it's happening. Sure. I mean, what about all the mail and voting? I mean, people would have already cast their votes by mail or done the really voting. The problem is the mail is a vector of transmission, so Trump's going to have to deploy troops to the post office to really make sure-- Right, but there are already, a lot of those are already out. Yeah, but we can open that because they could be willing to. They're going to go to the post office and they're going to make sure they're going to throw away the fake votes. Okay. Well, then you have, isn't that what Nancy Pelosi was saying was going to happen? Who was saying that? Karen Bass. Karen Bass was saying that I think she was saying that federal agents are just going to go around and pick up all the voting boxes. Let me see what she said. You know, I don't know. I think Trump will do nothing. Right? I think if there really was a plague, Trump's going to be like, I can't do anything and then nothing happens and then someone gets mad at him and then he loses. Well, in either way, it doesn't matter. It seems like if the Republicans win or if they lose the midterms, they're not following his agenda and voting into legislation, things that really matter for the American people today anyway. Yeah, that's what we're currently at, unfortunately. I mean, USAID, that was great. We won there. That's a big win. It might be the only win. Well, there's a few wins. That's a massive win. That's along. That's all the wins. That's one that's going to last for a while because stitching USAID back together would take a lot. And the thing about USAID is it's like it has benefits that benefit the right globally. Like most of Trump's victories are domestic primarily, but USAID if you're British or if you're Brazilian or you name it, it's benefited you exponentially just getting the American boot off your neck. If you look through the 20th century, you look at who has been an impediment to a lot of these right-wing projects globally and it was the United States in many ways. Kissinger and others coming in. You mentioned Rhodesia. Rhodesia is a great example where this was something that was contentious at the time, but I think they were vindicated when you look at how Zimbabwe, how fairs were conducted there following independence. And the United States was the one pushing for decolonization, not just in Rhodesia, but throughout Africa. And I believe we weighed in on the wrong side of things if you look at how the rest of the Cold War ended up playing out. So yeah, as USAID collapses, I think it creates a lot of opportunity for people to do some cool things. Let's jump to this next story from the New York Post. The Cornell 7 story is getting weird. It's getting weird. Cornell 7, Fred Bro, claimed accuser him and that school didn't care. He was a survivor. Now, the reason why I self-sensor, that is because we like to wait a little bit in these segments before we get graphic. And this is a crazy story that basically for those that don't know the story will give you the quick just Cornell 7 guys. There's this check. They had a drug fueled adult activity session amongst themselves and each other. Not all the guys involved were actually doing anything adult. They were all doing illegal drugs. I might understanding. I think two guys did not do anything sexual. They're not all accused of rape. So the story here is that one of the main guys reported at the time to the school that she had raped him, that she had sexually assaulted him by, well, the implication being inserting things into his body while he was incapacitated. I mean, this is horrifying accusation. The school did nothing about it. So I have to wonder if I'm gonna put it like this. I will have no bias. The woman says they did things to me. They should not have done. The man says she did things to me. They both reported this at the same time. Okay. Well, there you go. Have fun. Take it to court. The problem right now is this frat bro who was incapacitated and admittedly passed out according to Jane Doe said that he had things put inside his body without his consent while he was incapacitated and the school did nothing. And now he was the one who got expelled and they're threatening his life and they're attacking him. See, this is a big problem and it's a weird story. We're learning a lot about the bodies and sexual habits of these college students. It's not a very delightful new cycle whatsoever to be a person that reads the news. I've not enjoyed it at all. From the get go, I think pretty much anyone that's been paying attention to how these stories typically go over the last 20 years, we all kind of knew what direction it would go. So I was pleasantly shocked and surprised to see this twist in the story where usually the rapes it breaks down and the story falls apart. In this case, now they're coming all the way around. They're saying, no, she raped us, actually. Well, no, but that that story is very old. We knew from the release of this Cornell story that this guy said he was too incapacitated to consent. What we did not know apparently was that she had satanized him. Right. That's why it's like a huge twist where it's like usually the story just falls apart and then everyone moves on. But now it's like, oh, the other guy's got a case now. Like this is fast. So what what do you do is people are writing at the school. They're writing their smashing windows. They're analyzing. They don't care if this guy is the actual rape victim. They don't care. No, they don't care at all. And this guy pointed that out in the email that he sent to the school when he said after all, you received information that I was, you know, satanized by her while I was incapacitated back in November. You never once thought to alert me if my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault, the very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears that this process is roiled with gender discrimination. They need to file a federal lawsuit immediately because the state is already going after them. And and the state is going. I gotta say this. If you follow the actual story as of the timeline by the Jane though, it's clear that she chose to engage in this drug-fueled adult activity, even telling the DA when she swatted a guy's hand away when she said no, they respected her wishes. Right. Now her claim is she doesn't remember how certain things happened. So her lawsuit is, oh, well, at some point, I was not even aware that these guys were doing this stuff to me. This guy is not a part of those claims. In her story, she and this guy met up. They got a third guy involved and we're hooking up and he passed out. At that point, he says she raped him. So you can argue some of these other guys. It's like, okay, well, some, some other guy engage in activities while she was too passed out to know what's going on. She did the same to him. Right. So how about this? Fine. They can all go to prison together. This guy is the only one who appears to be only the victim because according to her claims, he never did anything wrong and she's not accused him of rape. Right. So she raped him according to his statement. Other people raped her. They can all go to prison for all I care. The other thing too is by, according to Cornell Health documents that they provide to the students about how to talk about sex and think about sex and how consent is really the only boundary. And because she admitted that consent was followed the whole time, it doesn't look like anybody did anything wrong. They were all pursuing sex in the way that the school told them it was meant to be pursued, which is for pleasure and pleasure alone. And they undertook these things that the school had advocated for group sex, talking about your preferences during the encounter, multiple partners and all the rest of it. So it does seem to me that to a certain extent, they were engaging in this activity in the way that they had been taught to engage in it and think about it. Well, that's what the woman said. Jane Doe actually texted saying that it would blow over and that this stuff is normal and people need to get over it. It seemed to me that, you know, she was upset because people were calling her nasty things. And then she was further upset when she was disinvited from a party at the front house. And it wasn't until she was disinvited that she decided to go report that she had been raped. And it also wasn't until people were saying online that she had been sexually assaulted, that she decided that she had been but actually the only issue is this was when she reported it didn't matter. It was the DA said, no, right? The problem is conservatives are not going to go out and protest for a male rape victim. And feminists are not going to go out and protest for a male rape victim. So right now, the only story is this, we don't, according to Jane Doe's testimony, we don't know how it ultimately came to be that she was with all seven guys. She, because we know the initial elements of it, according to the official DA statement was that it was consensual. Her argument is at some point later on, not including this guy, other men joined in. And she doesn't remember how that happened. Those guys said it was consensual. We were all hooking up. Maybe the case. You want to make that argument fine. This guy is not relevant to that part of the story, in which case the own like, as far as this guy is concerned, she raped him. He reported it. They did nothing. And now people are calling for his death. Right. Yeah. And at the end of the day, what we're learning is that this is a political hit job of some. kind because this went through the legal channels and the DA's office didn't pursue charges in either direction, right, for this young man or for her. And the end of the day, we got to take that into account. Now we're looking at it years later and going, hey, somebody has a political agenda here that's that's fueling all of this. And the real question to me is, what's going on at Cornell? What's going on across the world? This is a, this is a major problem in our society that needs address where there's just no morality. That's the real issue here. Like, we've really got to boil things down. There's some, some morality problem in our country where we have places like Cornell saying it's okay to have these party to do these kind of things and they promote it. Well, it's most schools, I think. It's all schools. And this, this, this is one of the greatest fundamental challenges facing our nation today is a morality problem. We've, we have gone so far away from what is morally right and wrong that we got to have a recentering and thank goodness there are some good students across the country who understand it, who are standing up for it and going, no, this is a morality problem. We can do better. We can do better. Well, that's maybe that's the kind of protest that's needed, right? It would be like turning point action on campus. They would speak up for something like that. They would at least speak up for morality. They would at least speak up for sexual moray is coming back. You know, I mean, people talk about, you know, what do you say to your kids about this? And I saw all these reports about how parents should talk to their sons about not being sexual assaulters. And my thing was like, okay, I mean, it's a very similar message to the message that there's been all along in my house, but it's a don't have sex with a drunk girl, don't have sex with anybody outside of a loving and committed relationship. Because otherwise, you could get, you know, fired, arrested and imprisoned on top of it being a moral issue, which we've already talked about. But this is a, this is a much more serious situation when you could be charged with a crime. And it, me too, never went away. It just never, it's the same. This is the same playbook as that. And then you had all of these women during these riots at Cornell and whatever, standing up, saying that they were Jane Doe and all of these women are saying that they were sexually assaulted. Well, no one knows really what sexual assault means. Yeah, the sexual assault mean. I was having sex with a bunch of guys and I was super into it. And then I wasn't anymore. Now everything that happened up to that point is that assault. What is sexual assault? Nobody knows what these definitions are. Yeah, I mean, it's, there's like a fog of war here or none of the definitions make any sense. You know, there's no law on the book that would actually indicate this was rapes of she was truly drunk, which now now that's in question. And then additionally, like, I don't think our side, this is how we're framing it. I think it's how these pro Jane Doe, you know, sick offense, how they're framing it. I am Jane Doe people. Correct. It's like, I think they're framing it as is like, this is a conversation around like women's accountability. Like if you conduct something and you're ashamed of it and then you change your mind, are you still responsible for that or you absolved of your responsibility? And I think that's like ultimately what this is really coming down to. If you take the thousand foot view, it's like, is this really a debate over New York's consent laws or is this a debate over like responsibility, accountability, etc. Should women be like allowed to like do whatever they want and then if they change their mind, they can make a correction on that. That seems to be what's going on here because that's like fundamentally as I see it, what their argument is. And I think that kind of gets at something that I do, I do agree with their terms. I'm like, yeah, actually, I do think women do like bear slightly less responsibility for some things, which is why a marriage is such a useful institution because I think it keeps femininity in check. And then likewise, that can keep certain aspects of masculinity in check. Yes, women don't like making decisions. Women don't like being held accountable for a lot of their decisions. And it's like, that's part of their nature. And like was there's just there's also listen also listen to what you're saying, right? Listen to what you're saying. And then compare it with what the women's rights activists have been saying all along, which is we want equality under the law. Well, you can't have equality under the law if you refuse to be accountable. Correct. And if you can't be accountable feminists, then you can't have equality under the law. And your entire program is completely destroyed. And none of us can ever own property or vote again. Like it's a serious problem just infantilizing women like. Yeah, where it's like it's a it own your decisions. You stupid idiot women like. I was in college right now. If I was in college, here's what I would do. I would throw a massive rager. I'd be like, you know, I'm a huge party like everybody come anytime a woman shut up. I'd be like, have you had anything to drink or taking any drugs? And if they're like, yes, but like you can turn around and leave. Women are not allowed to party. And no, no, no, no, no, the guys are going to get blasted. We got a gig with a boys. It's free. And the girls you want to come in. You can't drink. It's for your own good. You can't consent. There you are. And so you lack the agency to decide for yourself if you should become inebriated or do drugs. And if you are for your own protection, you can leave. So all the guys are going to get drunk and blasted and whatever they want. You got to stay sober ladies. Well, that's why I think the new, the new method, the new meta going forward for young men attending parties is drink like alarming and alarming amount. So like, you know, you would, you know, send a breathalyzer off the charts because then you aren't, you can't consent to anything because you're a demon. That's not what you should have is like a running log like a checkbook and you have the DD. That's not respected though. Well, but this could be protecting you legally. And you have your, your DD. He comes along as a check, you know, a checklist. And he goes, all right, Dave, breathalyzer, boop. Okay, well, you're, you're drunk, currently. And then you timestamp that he signs. You get like an official record of the evening. Have you kissed anyone tonight? And it's like, check back again later. You're not, you're legally not drunk right now. You're going to get a few drinks, step outside, sit in the car, get drunk, do not sober up. And then get back in there. We're going to breathalyze you and make sure no one's blood alcohol content is falling into the sober range. That's, that's ultimately how men are going to carry themselves going forward, because apparently that's the only way to insulate yourself from. But I think, I think it still wouldn't work because the, I guess it's, it depends on how this goes. Well, it depends on how this goes, but he hasn't brought a suit or anything. This is just something you said two years ago. And you already have Kathy Holgold demanding that a lobby put in place to close the voluntary intoxication loophole. And I'm sure that she doesn't mean that for men. She wants to make it illegal for women who are drunk or high to be able to consent to sex. Which completely removes any autonomy or agency that women have. I mean, if you're, if you're getting drunk, you can still make decisions. Right. Like, don't be an idiot. Well, and people's reaction from the conservative side of this story is, well, just don't conduct yourself in this manner. I agree. I mean, I carry myself very conservatively when it comes to sexuality. But that doesn't actually solve the problem, which what we're discussing right now is is like, okay, but even in this instance where people are, you know, engaging behavior that we don't like or we would say is not how we would carry ourselves. There's still a debate here to have. Like, there's, this is still a culture where debate, which is back to the larger issue, which is, again, women's accountability, women's responsibility. So it's like, you can simultaneously say, I can't really really relate to the Cornell seven here, but also understand that the debate is not over is what they did, you know, is their sexuality ethical or whatever. The debate is completely separate from that. The debate is about, you know, women's accountability. Can the women should there be two tiers of, you know, justice, right? Should women is alcohol, you know, absolving them of responsibility, but it doesn't do that for men. Absolutely not. And it's like, no, it should be equal. I mean, the thing is, if you can get drunk and get in a car and kill someone with your car and get a DUI. Exactly. That's a great way to put it. Well, yeah, then you're accountable for your actions when you get drunk, no matter what or not. Well, because I see some conservatives and they're using that as an offrams and not approach the issue, which they shouldn't be doing that anyway. And it's like, yeah, but that's, it's happened. It's already happened. So what's your take now? Like, it's sure. I mean, and, you know, what's his name? The pastor shouldn't have screwed. Hester print, but it happens. Yeah. So it's not like, it's not like violations of sexual morays are new, but I do think that attempting to absolve yourself of responsibility for actions that you willingly undertook while voluntarily intoxicated is absolutely irresponsible and should not be tolerated. Yeah, I completely agree. So yeah, I think that that might be the only way for future men insulators have the DD just consistently running a log of everyone. Maybe have like a, maybe have like everyone has like a vibe, like a whoop band or something and you have those ankle monitors now. Yeah, tell like what your alcohol content is. Yeah. Yeah. We're just not, if you're going to get created, maybe a balance here gets a balance here comes a save fraternities. You see it air, I think it was Arizona. They're like suspending all fraternities. Oh, yeah. And, you know, indefinitely. So I think what's going on here, a lot of what's going on here is they've been looking for a way to destroy fraternities. I didn't, I didn't go to a frat. I wasn't in a frat. Some people find that they're frat at your school. There were, but they weren't like traditional. I went to save frats at my school. I went to St. John. So they had like frats, but it was like just guys hanging out on an apartment and like homework together. But fraternities are this male only institution. If you look at like historically speaking, a lot of companies and ideas and, and whatever kind of came out of fraternities, the men that once they leave school, they still have all this common commonality with their fellow brothers and whatnot. I think that's primarily why fraternities are so hated and why they're so like it looked down upon by approved regime-approved culture is because they're like one of the last things that is not just like an exclusively male space, but like has a degree of masculinity to it. And you'll see this like anytime there's a male only space, it's immediately on the chart.
shopping block, but sorority is no problem. - Well, unless it's the man cave, because then you're being relegated to some side place and your masculinity is being tolerated and caged. So you're allowed to be there. - If it's like an effeminate thing that's male only, that's great, like a pride parade or a man cave or a pub play. - And these kind of organizations, right? They're not good, right? But at the end of the day, we do need male spaces. We need male spaces where men can be men, where they can get together, associate together, and build their masculinity, right? I grew up, I love wrestling. I love coaching football. I think these are male institutions that are being relegated in our society. I love to ride motorcycles. I got about 20 best friends that we go ride motorcycles for two weeks a year, dirt bikes and one up each other on these giant cliffs, top of these mountains. Hey, ride up 30 feet of dirt and hit a 20 foot cliff and see if you can make it to the top and most of the time, so it breaks your ankle. - Okay. - But guess what, we need these, right? Men need to associate together for the masculinity of it. And that has been so removed from our culture. It's a major problem what we have. And so the last remaining institution are these frets, which are not a healthy environment for men to get together and do that. And they lead to other problems, but we do absolutely need more opportunities for men to get together. - Yeah, I mean, it's kind of one of those things where it's like, look, if you're someone and you agree with what we're saying, but you do have like hesitations or criticisms of fraternities, you have to understand that like it has nothing to do with the fraternity. It's just, it's almost like a cliche, but they're going, you know, the fraternity is just in the way. They're coming after all male-only spaces. So, okay, yeah, it's the fraternity first. Then it's going to be like the golf club or, I mean, they already go after the club. - They already go after the club. - You know, they're going to really, you know, come through and make sure there's no male-only spaces. And the only time there will be male-only spaces, once again, like regime-to-proved, you know, like wholesome chungas, black rifle coffee kind of stuff. And it's like, I can't live like that. I really can't. I can't do it. I would literally rather just stay home, then go to like a regime-approved male, you know, dude, dude, wipes. - That is so weird. - Well, it's like, I'm going to get some bourbon and I'm going to have my big beard. And it's like, oh my gosh, dude, like I could, I could be here for hours ranting about this. The, the, it's called male-to-male transsexuality. That's what it is. - Is it? - It has a whole term. - Like any time it, huh? - Yeah, anytime there's like this overcompensation, like a masculine veneer. Basically, it's just masculine branding on an otherwise innocuous product. - Man, coffee. - It's called male-to-male transsexuals. And there's like tons of them. - There's tons of them. - So it's, was it dude wipes? - I'm in. - Yeah, I know, it's like dude wipes are just baby wipes that put dudes on them. - Yeah. - Oh yeah, we got to make dude stick. And it's lipstick for guys. - We're in dude. - I say make your lips shuppling. - I'm going to like, I'm going to like, I'm going to drag these guys as I get these Instagram ads for broglow. And it's like, what? - Broglow. - Yo, bronzer. (laughing) I'm like, dude, okay, if you're using bronzer, you better be a bodybuilder. Otherwise, like gay thing I've ever seen. And then they put this like masculine, it's again, the male-to-male transsexuals. - Broglow. - That's not real. - Oh, it's real. I get Instagram ads all the time and I'm like, stop it. I'm not interested, not interested. And they keep hitting me and I'm like, I'm not a male-to-male transsexual. Stop. - I tell my wife, there's a real. - It's real. - Broglow. - It is like end of day stuff. End of day stuff. Go outside. I'm pale. - I do that dude. So I live in the West. I do real manly activities every day. And I tell my wife that I know there's about 100 real men and left on the planet and I know about 90 of them. But apparently there's one on the screen right now that's apparently the broglow. - Is this supposed to be like a before and after? 'Cause it's still, she should hit the gym first. - It's male, like, rub on Tanner stuff. Like first of all, if you're gonna do, - No bro's done that. - No bro has ever done that. You're correct. But it's like, okay, that's pretty gay to begin with. Just by the normal woman. Like why do you need a male version to make yourself feel better when you're rubbing it on your body? - That's part of it. - I'll leave some of bro. It's like, dude. - I got like a free sample of bronzer but I thought it was lotion, so I put it on my face. - There was hours and hours later. I realized I just had like orange. - Like a Rachel Dolla's album. - No, what have I done? - That was Rachel and she was just too far in. With Rachel Dolla's album, she's like, well, I'm-- - One of the old apartments I moved into, like, some guy, I guess he's to live there. And he had like bro glow type stuff being delivered to me. And he just never canceled the thing. So I'd be collecting these weird, different facial things that he would put on his face. - Yeah, I would. - I don't, I'll never use them. I just look at them and, you know, took a cap off. When I was, oh, I had a bag of his mail. I was gonna give it back to him one day. But I'm not moving. But anyway, yeah, I guess the stuff's more common than you would think. - Well, if he's a bodybuilder, I'm like, that's, I'd respect that. But there's not very many bodybuilders. - You know, I teased one of my sons. He went down to any one Mr. Monterrey in the bodybuilding contest. And I totally teased him because I'm like, you put so much bronze around, you're gay. - Yeah, you know, you gotta crack a couple of eggs and make an omelette, you know. - He let me know that it was just a one-time deal that he just had to wear the bronze for the competition. - Bro glow, it's so straight. - I'm sure it was below. - Right, shout out. - You probably got bro glow. That's how you became Mr. Monterrey. - Yeah, I don't know. - That's funny. - I mean, there's just so much here. There's so many problems with this. I mean, one, you could just go outside, I guess. I mean, I'm pretty pale, but that's just a genetic thing. I spend, I think, a normal amount of time outside. I'm just Scottish. We don't really tan. We just burn. And broadly, but it's just, it's what I'm getting at is the, I've said it a million times already, as people are like, okay, we get it, we heard you. But the male to male transsexual stuff is just so irritating. And it's a lot of it's on the conservative media too, where it's like trying to make yourself feel better. And people like shadow box and chest beat about issues that everyone agrees on. Like a great example is these people wear shirts around. And it's like, you know, blank, blank your local pedophile. And it's like, yeah, dude, everyone agrees with that. But they're acting like it's this like edgy, you know, like tough guy thing to do. And I'm like, there's no one out here's like pro, like what it's just, but it's like, it's safe edgy. It's like, I'm doing this tough guy routine. But he would never say that about like, I don't know, illegal immigration or, you know, issues that are much higher salience that maybe we should be a little more radical on. If we really wanted to fix that, all that, right? We'd go back in time to the 1980s when young men couldn't say everything that they thought. Because if you said it, somebody's gonna beat your, you know what, the parking lot or out behind the football or the track, right? Like that's the reality. But we don't allow kids to do that anymore. We don't allow kids to just get involved and go, hey, you know what, and it was done, right? I grew up in an era where if somebody said something you didn't like, you took reproach with it and you might have a little wrestling match out in the grass, right? You might hit each other. But guess what you became right after? Friends. - Yeah, it's just regular. - And then you'd move forward. And I promised the next time you thought that you could say that offensive thing about his sister or his mom or his neighbor or his cat or I guess what, you didn't do it. - Yeah, but we don't do that anymore. So we hide behind computer screens and we say all the dumb crap that we want to say and guess what, we don't ever have any consequences. - Yeah, and then you think you've been harmed when someone takes an issue with you, yeah. - And then people like still want to signal that they don't care, that they're a tough guy. So then yeah, they take these like very obnoxious like aesthetics to like demonstrate on masculine. When you look at like how special operators looked in like the 80s and 90s. I mean, they looked like accountants. Like they had glasses on and they're button up shirts and everything. It's like, we've kind of lost the fact that like let your game do the talking. Like that is a sense. - Let your game do the talking really. - Yeah, that's completely died off. - That's completely died off. Where now you'll have guys, and I know this for like, you'll meet these guys that have done a few tours. And they again, they just look normal looking guys, button up shirt, you know, whatever. And then you meet these guys that like big beard and like a shirt on, it's like tactical armor man, gun guy. And he's like, middle manager and he's enjoying the military. And he's like, he's like trying to be like. - He's like trying to be like, he's- - He's like trying to be like, he's- - He's like trying to be like, he's- - He's trying to be like, he's- - He's trying to be like, he's- - On YouTube, and he was just like the most ordinary normal, like, he was kind of nerdy actually. And he was really into fish tanks. He was like, yeah, I got back, I was like in fluja and stuff, and I got back. And I just got really into like fish tanks. He was just like, show me pictures of his fish tanks. I'm like, I kind of want to hear about your like, you know, James Bond mission. - The fluja stuff. - Yeah, exactly. Like Chris Kyle stuff. He's like, yeah, and I'm just really into fish tanks. And I'm like, you don't see this guy going around buying bro glow or dude wipes. - Well, maybe- - This goes outside and use a toilet paper. Come on. - Maybe- - Where's an IV if he has to? - Milkweed. You know, the biggest problem is with no disrespect to dude wipes, but you can't use those in a septic system. - No. - And so the worst thing is, first of all, anybody who's got a septic system, those are the worst thing is when city folk come by, and they're just like dumping the contents of their purse and the toilet and flushing, and you're like, yeah, okay, you just destroyed everything. And they're like, what do you mean it's toilet? And it's pretty crazy that people in cities dump literally random stuff down the toilet. I heard there's alligators down there. Yeah, I heard that champs.
and stuff. But back at our old studio, because we had so many guests all the time, it was a common thing that people would flush wipes and they don't break down, they get stuck. And then we had a call, the company to come out and get a big stick and stick it into pipe. Yeah, disgusting. It's just revolting. It is. And that's why every single country restaurant has a big sign saying nothing in the toilet but toilet paper. Modern world is just. And most of Europe has those signs. But in Europe, they wipe and throw it in the garbage. Yeah. That's why. That's why. That's nasty. It's just like the modern world is the hot car and I'm the dog trapped inside of it. What? I mean, we're flushing wipes down. I mean, what is going on? They got dark, quick, tape. I mean, it's just like here. That was like the final straw or I'm saying black build. Now it's over. It's, how does a society we come back from that? We have to like hire a guy to shove a stick down. No, they go to the septic, they use toilet paper, like I just, no no, toilet paper is fine. By the way, when you meet people, he doesn't use dude wipes and he definitely doesn't put bro glow on. No, no. I know those guys. They're real men. And they leave the. All right. All right. Yeah. Anyway, we got a quick sponsor. It's dude wipes. Oh. All right. We got bro glow. Dude. That's two simple jokes for me today. I have to admit it. I mean, what's next? What do you mean next? They have those. Did you not see Tom Ford's? You didn't. Those are called cross dressers. Oh, yeah. On Ford's Spring Collection. It's so these guys, Tom Ford's Spring Collection, take a look. It's these guys wearing like a proper suit jacket. And then literally like a banana hammock, like a, yeah, hot pink. It's really, it is really quite something. Yeah. That's the South Park thing. That's what we're going to. That's what we're going towards. At this rate. We're using bronzer now. Like civilians using bronzer. Once again, if you're a bodybuilder, it's one thing, but we're talking about civilian use bronzer. Unacceptable. I've had enough. I've seen enough. We need like, I just need to disappear back to that. That's what I was doing before I started. I was just milling on. Yeah. Tom Ford's male models. Imagine like, what would happen if you showed like an African tribe, dude, wipes, dude, there's tribes in Africa that like, they make fun of white people for using toilet paper and some of the other. Well, how do they clean their butts? Well, these aren't questions. I asked. This was in the Peter Brook. So I was in, I was in Brazil. And is it, is it at the vice office in Brazil? And I went to the bathroom and the floor is slightly concave with a drain in the middle. And there's a hose next to the toilet and I picked it up and like, churn off. I'm like, wow. And so I did my thing and then I walk out and I go to the lady and I was like, what's the hose next to the toilet for? We don't have those. She goes, oh, to clean. And I was like, to clean like the bathroom and she was like, to clean yourself. And I was like, what do you mean? And she goes, do you not clean? And I was like, wow, you know, we wipe. And she was like, oh, like it was shocking to her. And then the thing I was here is like someone says, imagine you're like walking on the street and a bird craps and it lands in your arm. So you take a piece of toilet paper and wipe it off and go, I'm good. And that's like the American way. And so the Brazilians are really grossed out there. Yeah. I mean, there's, there's various, like there's the Acha tribe and the Congo Basin and Central Africa. And it was like 2010. They had a bunch of a research group go out and they're asking them, they're basically linguists and they were trying to determine which words did they just not have like a white of definition for and the which ones that they do. Well, they didn't have a word for masturbate. And so they were like jirling down and these guys were like, wait, what do you mean? No. So you do this, that and the other. And they were just so confused by the concentration that they were like, what are you talking about? Clearly, they haven't gotten to Cornell because Cornell promotes masturbation. I know. It's like the inverse of Cornell and pornography and masturbation together. It's the Acha and Goondoo tribes of the Congo Basin or the inverse of the Cornell where it's like the complete op it where they're just like, why do we need to start sending our young men there? Yeah. They're too busy. We're like, we don't have time. You know, Trump had a great quote on, you know, on the topic, Trump had a great quote on masturbation where he just says, it's a lot of effort doesn't get you anywhere. And I was like, that's a good way to put, he's like, he, he didn't have any comment on the, at the quality of it or the morality. He was just like, it's a waste of time. It doesn't get you anywhere. And I was like, fair enough. When did he make that quote? It was on Howard Stern. It was, it was a longer. He talked about it for a while. And he was just like, I don't know, he said, I'd never been a big into that world. As if it's like a, as if it's like a scene thing. Maybe it is. Maybe it is a little. What was the full quote? It's like one of the funniest Trump quads ever. Trump. Okay. Trump masturbate. That's. I don't think you want to look. You don't want to go there. We're going in. Trump. Let's see. Full quote. That idea. We're going in. Um. We're going. What? Oh, we got, uh, Trump Howard, it's okay. Uh, Howard Stern says when, when Melania's tired and you're horny, do you masturbate to take care of the problem? Trump says no. Stern says when was the last time you masturbated. Trump says long time ago, sometime prior to knowing women, Stern says, really, come on. And Trump says, it's a lot of work. And in the end, it gets you nowhere. I was never big into that world and then Robin followed up pressing. I'm no nothing. What? And Trump just says no. You know, I knew I love Donald Trump, but now I really love it. Yeah. I just never had a drink apparently. That's what I love. Right? Like all these problems we're talking about, right? They're more reality problems. Just wrong. I believe because then his brother died. Yeah. He was a good friend. Yeah. Yeah. So he never drank and his father told him he was never going to be a successful business man if he drank. And, and I, you know, by the way, I've never had a drink in my whole life. I live that principle. And again, there's something to, and I'm an extremely successful business man, not to act as Trump, but close. When I was a young man, what really inspired me was when I heard Trump say that when you're famous, they let you do it. True. That was Cornell's problem. They weren't famous. Really? They got there. If they had more emotion, they would have gotten away. Lucy would have gotten away. But you know what's interesting is there's, I think it's like a paradigm with the, with the drunk and the T totaler. I think you have to pick one of the other. You should be like a raging alcoholic or a key totaler because you look at like the British officers and the way they carried themselves, I mean, they were just like hammered all of the time. It was really a beautiful thing. And I'm like, we should just pick one of the other. It's like, oh, I'm just going to have a glass of wine. It's like, no, I'm fed up quite frankly with stoicism. Like you should just get angry, fly off the handle, like be like really unpredictable. I think that's pretty big. So I think maybe we should get back to that. I mean, either be a two-toler or like a full-blunder. I'm going to read this. The bar tab of the 1787 Fairwell party for George Washington is still intact. The founding fathers drank 54 bottles of Madera as I said, 60 bottles of Claret, eight bottles of whiskey, 22 bottles of Porter, eight bottles of hard cider, 12 of beer, seven bowls of alcoholic punch. There were only 55 attendees. Where, where was the, where was the party? I think this is France's tavern. Was it France's? Yeah. That's so cool. And those guys were. That's a great part. That's a great part. That's a great part. That's a great part. That's a great part. And it would have been lame. It's like, I'll just have a glass of mead. It's like, dude, go one of the commits. Mead tastes, though. Yeah. I think we should probably be getting rid of liquor and just go back to mead and rum. Yeah. They all signs of mead. Grog. Yeah. Grog. I don't know. I want to hit up George Washington. Mixing rum with water, lime juice and sugar. It's just like a rum and water. Grog. Yeah. I'll do a rum and water. Grog, please. Yeah. I'll do a Grog on the rocks, please. The British Royal Navy gave sailors a daily rum ration, diluting with water and adding lime to preserve the water and prevent scurvy. We're penning these like unbelievable letters going to the intricacies of linguistics of Southeast Asia and whatnot. And then you remember, they're also hammered the entire time. Like it's really. The tolerance must have been really high. You know what's supposed to be admirable, I think about many of these East India trading company guys was how many people they slew just to get black peppercorn for their steak. Yeah. Well worth it. You know, I think about 50,000 people. Yeah. White people don't like spices. It's like. It's literally went to war for massacred people for black pepper. And now it's on every diner table and no one touches it. Yeah. Really? No one touches it? Oh yeah. And people don't use the black pepper on a table. I don't. I don't use either to solder. I'm like, I think it's insulting to the chef. So I go to Denny's and I'm like, I trust the chef. Yeah, but sometimes, you know, like, the chef gives me a mean look. So I ask for ketchup. Mm-hmm. And then I just stare them in the eyes while I, onto my steak. Pour it on the whole thing. That's like the Trump move. Steak on the ketchup on the steak. Well done. Yeah. Well, I very much have the zoomer problem, which is like the battered wife syndrome. Or if they mess my order up, I still eat it. And I'm like, it's my fault for ordering that idiot. I thought you were going to say the zoomer problem of when you try to order food, you realize you're broke and don't own anything so you don't eat. Well, that's a separate problem. You're like, can I wash dishes or something? No, yeah. I'm stupid idiot for ordering that. It's my fault. It's too complicated for this legal immigrant to chef. So it's on me. This is my- I had. I would describe it's probably the worst experience of my life. I've never had a worse experience of dining out experience
Well, I ordered, we were in DC the day at the hotel. I ordered breakfast and I said, I wanted three eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese. Got it. I said, I wanted no toast, no tater tots, bacon, and chicken sausage. They gave me pork sausage. The pastards. I was, I broke down. I was in the fetal position crying for hours. Yeah, I don't know, yeah. Was it like the manager, the Muslim dietary restrictions? Yeah, yeah. What was it? Was it because it tasted good? Because what? Because the, because the pork actually tasted good. I wanted chicken sausage. Oh, I had bacon. That was fine. And there were tater tots. And what they did was when they gave me the eggs, the tots were all mashed onto them. And I didn't want tater tots, but the cheese from my eggs was melted to the tots too. It was a disaster. It creates like a nucleus. That's the worst. We actually ordered that at a restaurant. And I know cheese on the tater tots. I don't want to see the product. Oh, that sounds nice. It's delicious. That does sound nice. This is a true story. But my reaction was I just ate the breakfast and said, "Are you ready to go?" And then me and Brandon left. That's actually what happened. That's the whole thing. I was like, I should be causing more scenes. You know? That'd be fun. I actually thought about it. It's just. I was like, I told Brandon about it. I was like, I'm half of mine to tell them that they got my breakfast wrong, but I don't really care. It's a lot of work. It's like, it's like Trump's out of the mouth. It gets a lot of work to think about it. Yeah, I guess you know where. What are they doing about? Sorry, I guess. Did you eat it like, well, yeah, I was hungry. Well, that's the thing. I mean, you didn't want to send it back. Send back the pork sausage. Do you know how long it takes to order food to your room? No, it takes it to pain in the ass. I know. Yeah. Like, they'd come back in the back. Okay, give us three hours. We'll have your eggs for you. Yeah. Okay, whatever. And the worst part was they didn't bring the condiments. They promised they were going to bring the condiments. I never came. Mess up a continental breakfast right now. Like a hampton end. Like, everything's microwaved. You like English breakfast. Oh, I love those. Man, it's like 957. I'm like rising out of the grave. Like Rocky. I'm going to get down there. I know I know I know it's going to agree with me on this one. That English breakfast is better than continental breakfast. Yeah. Well, the American breakfast is more familiar. So I like it. It's comfort. But the English breakfast, if you're looking at it objectively, does have more offer. It's just better breakfast. Yeah. Tomato slices. Yeah. Baked beans, mushrooms, blood pudding, come on. I prefer it if I wanted to last meal. I'd go for the American breakfast. It's going to remind me my mother. But when I'm like just looking, I need the best breakfast possible. You got to go to the English. English. English have a good breakfast. English food's great. This is like, I think it's another safe edgy thing where everyone's allowed to beat up. I'm like, I like it. I like it. I like that. What I don't like, see, I don't have a problem with English food. I haven't meant it. She's an onion sandwich. England very often. Let's go. But the thing that I hate is when you have Tom Holland, whose little viral clip about how American food sucks compared to British food went viral again recently. And he was saying, what's American food? A hamburger that's from Germany. And it's like, no, literally the hamburger was invented in 1878. It's an etiquette. Yeah. And hamburgers were invented in Connecticut. Yeah. We'll see if they can like hamburger. And he's like, oh, yeah, that's what he thought. It's funny. It's rich coming from America. Everyone thinks it's American. Right. And the thing is that American food is all the food, but with extra sugar, salt, and super sized. So we just took everybody's food and made it way better. You just upgraded it up. And you don't like that? Like, if you have that like a, try and order a sandwich in England, you need like three of them to have a meal. Oh, I know. I mean, I remember the first time having like authentic Mexican food. I'm like, well, I love tax mix. So I bet authentic Mexican was really good. And I ate it. Like, this is the other thing. I think Mexican is really good. It was like tax mix, airline chicken with rice and beans. Yeah. I'm like, well, tax mix is better. Like California, Mexican is like my favorite Mexican with all the fresh, everything. You know what really blew my mind when I was a kid when I learned what burrito meant? What does it mean? Just wrapped up. He needs a baby donkey. Oh, you're literally, you're literally walking a good guy back. I'll take a baby donkey with chicken. You're supposed to like tuck it under the saddle and it stays warm all day. Burro. Right. Donkey and burrito is little monkey. Yeah. That's the idea. And then I learned that and I was like, my whole world was different. I like all, I mean, I just don't get into these culinary mutts because I like all food genuinely. Like, there's, I've never, I can't think of anything. You know what I love? It's of everything. Or Dita. What's that? Is that a faculty building? Yeah, that one. It'll, it'll fat girl. I've eaten as a diminutive. I mean, I've sat down. There's not a single food. I just like. I've eaten everything. You know, I've had the fermented quail egg. Like, I like it. I like it all. There's a Singaporean guy to get me durian and a fermented quail egg. Do you guys see there's a viral clip from, I think it's Triton poker. A guy's got a tin of caviar. He's just eating with a spoon straight up. That's nuts. And I'm like, okay, this is fake. Like, first of all, caviar is not that expensive. It's expensive. But like, it went viral because they're like, this dude's so rich. He's playing this million dollar tournament and just eating caviar from a tin straight up. And I'm like, yeah, it's a stunt. It's fake. Why would that be fake? Because caviar is, you get a bone spoon. You put a little bit on like a little chip. Yeah, or believe that. And then you put some onion, some chives, and you mix all together. You don't just straight up eat scoops of caviar. But you could do. But it doesn't taste that good. That's like that. Not like that. That's the right old person thinks rich people do. Exactly. And the other thing too is that tin probably costs 100 bucks. So it's like, why would you do that? People are caviar so expensive. I mean, it is because you're ordering basically an appetizer for $100. Well, you're playing a million dollar poker tournament. Everyone's like, look at him doing this. Well, you and your buddies could pull together enough to get some caviar. Your next trip to the restaurant is not a big deal. Sure. They've got to get $75 cans. I do. It's not a lot. You could buy that Whole Foods. Yeah. I do like rich people that do behave a little more like that versus like Warren Buffett, where he's like, I was watching a video and he's in the McDonald's drive. And he's like, I got to get to make muffin instead of the biscuit because the markets down the day. And I'm like, I mean, it pissed me off. I mean, it pissed me off too. That was like, it pissed me off too. If you're rich, be like Bezos or like, they're like super villains. They're like, you know, they're all inadequate. Yeah. Oh, I'm like, they need to do something really cool. Like, I'd be like just buying Native American reservations. I would be like the best rich person. I feel like I should get a chance. I'd be like, die. I'd be so good at it. I'd be like, I'd be so good at it. Dr. Dupin Schmerz. Like, I'd be setting stuff. I'd be buying entire like ethnic groups. I don't know. I own like you. They're a team now. Yeah, like you're a team. Play for me. You're a team. Intertain. Yeah, I'd be fantastic. But these guys, yeah, they're all just like, oh, the market's down. So I got to get the mic muffin today. It's like, dude, shot up. You don't deserve that. Like, I became a socialist for five seconds. I guess we should take your money and give it to me. But here's the thing that people don't realize is that, you know, I was thinking about this today because I was watching something. I was watching some video about work and like the future of work and socialism and stuff. Elon is doing exactly as you describe. So Elon gets super rich. And then if you go to him and you're like, like, let's say there's like teenage Elon and you're like, hey, if you had a trillion dollars, what would you do? He'd be like, oh, man, I'd build a rocket ship to Mars. Yeah. That's literally what he's doing. He's like, you're going like, you know, alien. Elon, how can you be not buying whole ethnic groups? And he's like, I don't know. That's what I don't want to. He's like, well, what do you want to do? He got to the bottom. I want to go to Mars. I want to tweet it. Hey, Elon, why haven't you built an Ironman suit yet? And he tweeted back at me building Starship. And then I said, that's acceptable. Yeah. Okay. It's pretty cool. Yeah. Point of Mars. Okay. The Rock is like, I'm building a Starship. It's like, oh. And good point. We're building, you know, I'm donating. It's charity. Really. Buy something cool. Like buy the Grand Canyon. Like fill it up with peanut butter. That's cool. That's cool. So many of these charities are like just, they're just money laundering for George Costanza. Yeah. For like the administrative services part of it. They don't actually do the thing that they say they would do like Susan G. Coleman race for the cure or whatever. Oh, yeah. It's like 90% goes to admin costs or something. You would need 5.45 trillion cubic yards of peanut butter. So it'd be like a lifelong project. That's my star. It would be an earthworks. Animals would be eating it. That would be mine. Animals would drive you on. Is like, I want to see most colonized before I die. 147 trillion cubic feet of peanut butter. That would be my pyramid. It would be filling up just. Orfaces with peanut butter. Hashtag Cornell seven. Yeah. I'd be doing something cool like that. So Elon, I respect that. He's building like death robots and stuff. That's pretty cool. But like, yeah. Oh, and like boomers when they die and they're like, I'm not giving money to my kids. They donate their entire estate. It's like a trust which just gets laundered to like other people through these bogus charities. It's totally bogus. The dumbest thing ever. I'm like at least just like give it to a country. Like give it's like, you know, give it to your stupid kids. Like they're your stupid kids. Yeah, give it to your stupid kids or like donate it to like, yeah, to volume and just see what they do with it. Like maybe they'll build a hut or something. That'd be pretty cool. Or Maldives. You know, you know what? The climate change. What would you? Yeah. A rising ocean. Would you would you like bring weapons to tribes that have no concept of automatic weapons, you know? Yeah. Like I'd be doing like the Hunger Games IRL. I would do it. So you know, you can like. I'm too wearing tribes and black. This is a Glock. Yeah. Like Elon could fix. Like because oh, the sea levels are rising. Just get a giant straw. Have someone siphon and then dump the water into space and then. Oh, you know what you could do. Hold on. Find like, you know, like chimps have like nations and they go to war sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Find one and befriend them slowly over time and then teach them how to use bows and arrows. And then arm them. Be the bowier of a chimp tribe and see if they win the war. See if you can like evolve another. That'd be cool.
the Katara Depression in Egypt. This has been looked at before. It's the Katara Depression. It's a giant portion of the Sahara. That's actually below sea level. There's only like a 30 mile strip you would need to get rid of. And you could flood the entire region with water. And people are like, oh, it'll destroy the climate. I'm like, who cares? - Why don't we dam the Shred of Gibalter? - Oh, the problem is people get across. (laughing) - Okay, wait, wait, wait, we'll dam it, but then we'll put like big, spiky walls. - I do the opposite. I would get like some sort of way to like make the straight larger, like separate Africa further from Europe. I think that'd be my strategy is maybe get two trucks and like have them pull it Europe further north or something. - What I would do if I was Elon is I would build a gigantic pipeline from the ocean to the middle of the Sahara and then just start pumping ocean water just right in there. - Well, you look up the Qatar Depression, the French are thinking about nuking it. - The Qatar Depression? - Okay, Q-A-T-T-A-R-A Depression. And it was like looked at by the French and the English to flood this mass-apportion feature. - Tara. - Yeah, and create like a massive inland sea. - It used to be I guess. - I don't, they can't determine if it ever was, but it's not a very large canal you would have to dig and they were like, we should just nuk it. - And how are we doing that? - Yeah, why aren't we doing that? - I don't know. - But why aren't we nuking more stuff, you know? - The fear, well, the fear, and it's a pretty good reason. I think we could figure it out though, is that when you flood it with sea water at evaporates, and you create like the Dead Sea on steroids, so then it becomes useless pretty quickly. But I'm like, now we could just filter it as it comes through like pump desalinated water in. I think that would solve the problem. And there's only like a couple other areas. - That's a very dry there. - Just tell them to believe. - Well, no, you drop a rudimentary boat and then don't say anything and then water comes that just get in. - Tell them you don't get ocean water. - Also, it's an e-japerty. - You can't do much in Egypt. - Yeah, I just think-- - I mean, if we bombed Egypt to do stuff like that, you know. - People need to get more creative. Let's start blowing stuff up. We used to do that. - The Qatar Depression Project, because it's 436 feet below sea level, it's led to several proposals to create a massive hydroelectric power project in Northern Egypt, rivaling the Oswan High Dam. - See, the CIA used to be awesome. Look, they said they proposed to white eyes an hour. - That piece in the Middle East could be achieved by just flooding this ramp. - Wait, let's say that in the third paragraph. And they're like, we could just cause peace in the Middle East by just blowing up this part of the desert and flooding with water. And everyone's like, yeah, that would cause peace in the Middle East. - The resulting lagoon, according to the CIA, would have four benefits. It would be spectacular and peaceful. - Yeah, so it would materially alter the climate in these areas. It would provide work during construction and living areas after completion. It would get Egypt president Gamal, Abdel Nasser's mind on other matters. - This is stupidest reason I've ever heard. - This is like solid. - I think the reason that it would be spectacular and peaceful is a Trump style reason five or heard one. - Because Trump is just an artifact of like an older period of time. So this is everyone in the 1950s was talking like Trump. They're like, sir, why should we do this? It was like, 'cause it'd be spectacular and peaceful. - Why else would you do it? It would materially alter the climate. - It's probably a good way. - Well, they didn't speculate if it'd be good or bad. It'll alter it. We don't know what it'll do. People have like studied, they say, no, it actually like makes things worse. But let's just try it. If it doesn't work. - Well, people do think outside the box, there's that the line in Saudi Arabia, you know, this wild city that's just like. - I kind of like it. - I kind of like it too. - Like I would, I did it aesthetically, but I think it's like, why not, right? - I'd go, I'd go stay to hotel there, and get a little spa treatment. - Well, they're building a suspended stadium at the top of it in the 2034 World Cup is gonna be played. - 2034, so they're almost done. I thought they put a pause on the whole thing. - No, yeah, well, they've built the first purge portion of it, and yeah, they're like suspending a stadium in it, and they're probably gonna use that for one of the games. - At Lentropa, also referred as to Penn Ropa, a gigantic engineering and colonization idea from German architect Herman Surgel, proposed include several hydroelectric dams at key points in the Mediterranean, such as the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Bosphorus to cause a sea level drop to reclaim land. - Yeah, the line was put on pause until at least after 2030. - Yeah, hopefully they could go in on that. - Yeah, you know what, the thing is, if you dam to the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Bosphorus, and like closed up the Mediterranean, it would dry up, and then people could walk. Like Africa and Europe would become one place. - Yeah, so that wouldn't help Europe. - No, I was gonna say that it's already happened. - Perfect. - So now at this point, who cares? - Oh, and like, it's predicate, like the entire, it's like you lose your sea front property. I mean, Monaco just turns into like some town. - Yeah, exactly. - No, it's suck. - Maybe people would walk back. - Right, I mean. - Yeah, maybe people like kick 'em, is like, hey, start walking. - They could build a wall. - Yeah, that's great. You know, the island, like Maltz, I'd be thrilled though, Maltz is like, we just like tripled our real estate. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. - The ocean front, you know, Barcelona would be like, "Oh, great, now we're just gay in land city." - Yeah, there would be new cities. - We lost our fastball now. Monaco's interesting, the land reclamation, I always think like, 'cause they keep reclaiming land and I'm like, what if you bought ocean front property and then they just like built more land and now you're not in the ocean front? And I'm like, that would stress me out. - Sure, that happens. - I'd be so worried if I bought ocean front property, that would be at the number one. Like, what if they reclaim land and then I'm not in the ocean anymore? That would dominate might be like personal Vietnam for me. - Well, actually, think about it the other way. You could buy inland property and then when climate change causes the great flood, then you've got ocean front property. - Sure. - Now that's thinking smart. - Didn't we get a song from George Strait about this ocean front property? - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - Arizona? - Hey. - Yeah. - He was a fortune teller. - Yeah, he's kind of like Bart Simpson. - That's true. - Yeah, that's, that is so true. George Strait really was. He had this innate ability to see your own corner. And you have to admire him for that. - No, the Mediterranean is great. Why don't we want less of it? We should, we should want more Mediterranean. So that's why flooding ships see what happens. Oh, it will create a dead sea industry. - Let's just try it. If it doesn't work, okay, you can say you told me so. That's fine, but let's try it. - Lots of things seem like bad ideas until you try them. - I mean, you asked the Cornell Seven. - The very least, then you have a new problem. You can deal with that instead. - Let's talk about this story for no reason. - You can, you know. - Scientists find evidence for several earth axis shifts during the age of dinosaurs. Sea level changes offer an independent record of dramatic Jurassic and Cretaceous episodes when the solid earth may have reoriented. - Look at the pictures. - Yeah, they have the pictures. So what's crazy about this is that we've talked to Ben Davidson, the space weather guy. The Adam and Eve theory is a conspiracy theory that was actually first put forth by, like I think it was a CIA. When I said every 6,500 years, the earth will tilt 90 degrees, causing a great flood, wiping out all of civilization, restarting it basically. And that's like the Adam and Eve story is that after this great flood, only a few people remain and then they start rebuilding. And so we are, according to mainstream science, overdue for a pole shift. - Right. - So that's magnetic pole shift? - Yeah. And right now they say, well, it's not likely going to happen, but we are like 100,000 years past the point at which it should happen on average. And we are watching the North Pole. It's currently the North Pole is undergoing an excursion. - It's moving around. - It's moved over Siberia. Like it's like, moved a lot. And who's that talking to? They said that the North Pole is actually probably like a thousand square miles. It is not people think it's like a point like you can walk to it. No, it's like a big, big space. - Not just a stick in the ground. That's red and green and white. - Well, the funny thing is when we used to, like when I've interviewed Ben several times on this stuff, it was funny. We had him on the show. We had him on, I think it was first culture war. And he's a very mainstream science guy. It's like he's not talking about conspiracy or anything like that. He's like, I think this evidence suggests it's possible. And he's very pragmatic about it. He blew my mind when he mentioned Indonesian glaciers, which I didn't know about. Here I am, I was like 38 years old and I'm like, I am. Yeah, there's gigantic glaciers in Indonesia because there was a nice age in there in the mountains so they don't melt that fast and there's big chunks of ice. But he was talking about this. Now the funny thing is we get roasted. They call it conspiracy theory nonsense. It's not going to happen, it's never going to happen. And now mainstream reporting, oh, actually happens all the time. Now if this tilt does happen, you know, I bring this story up because, you know, it takes mentioning if like you buy beachfront property but then they reclaim land. You now you're still a regular town. The models of it showing an axis shift would flood the world. The water is going to wash everything away. Except for West Virginia. Yeah, Appalachia Mountains. Conveniently where Mount Weather and Raven Rock are. So the government built emergency bonkers in the exact place. Oh, so that's why that would survive a massive global flood. That's fast. How about dumb apples? That's actually very cool. Yeah, so we're good. Everyone else, sorry, later guys. Even up here, we're good. Because there's different kind of. We're in the mountains. Which apocalypse is what you want to survive? Like because if it's a zombie, I don't want to go. I don't want to be around for that. A zombie apocalypse. What do you mean that's like the most fun? That'd be so scary. And like you know people, there's zombie now in your room. Shotgun, you know? Like imagine it's like your boy in the next zombie now. And you're like, oh, this sucks. If you got bit and it was the zombie apocalypse, yeah, I would hesitate. I go, I appreciate the hesitation. That means a lot, actually. And let me would be like, shoot him, you have to. I'm like, I can't, he's my boy. And it's like, what happens? Like if you're a zombie, like are you still aware? Or like, I don't know. But like big flood, that'd be fun. 'cause then it's like a bigger ocean.
So you could like sail instead of the cool. I'd like that ego fish actually. I think that's preferable to our current arrangement It's like everything floods. Well, everything floods But you know right now we're in the one where there's a few places that survive the apple the blue ridge in the Appalachian Like you know, Appalachia is fine, but not the Rockies No, I think no, purge Khalifa if you're at the top because I imagine it's from where the water comes from So if the earth tilts like this way like the water stops west coast It's a massive wave by the time it reaches these coasts it's going down right I guess that's what the model shows right now Yeah, the Rockies get pummeled Cool imagine you're like skiing and also just like a wave taller than the mountain is coming and you're like come on Dude, but it's from the snowboard you can hit it and surf your right of these coasts. That'd be pretty fun all the way Yeah for for you know, you're going like 700 miles an hour on a wave. It's breaking the sound barrier You're okay. We're we live we have all these giant jet boats to run the salmon river class five rapids 30 feet long We jump to class five rapids are sick Yeah, I'm like use it to jump over the Rockies. I'll come pick you guys up Red Bulls are sponsored it. Yeah, what would happen if like the flood happens, but it's also zombie apocalypse So like you're you're stranded on this like Appalachian mountain also like a boat full of zombies are coming and they're like steering towards you and the guys like pulling the motor and you're like What do you do? It'd be like living in Italy? Deal with that and we're living in Dover in Britain. It's like oh, no boat full of these pretty me. It's like yeah, they'd welcome to Britain I'm crazy how I've been dealing with this British people have to fight their own government to try and stop an invasion And the government just keeps being like no, you're racist Let in all the rapists. Have you ever had a cheese and onion sandwich from a vending machine now from a vending machine From I think the meal deals in Britain are like most fantastic that is peak capitalism where you can get like chips A sandwich a drink for like three bucks. It's like people you know this Because I experienced all all it's glory. It was a vending machine sandwich and it was cheese and onion and now you might be thinking like it sliced cheese With like onion. No, no, no, no, they take cheese. They take onions. They mash it into a paste and they score it onto bread It's put it in the box and you buy it. So it's like onion cheese was Well, I mean, it's a little chunky puree. Yeah, it's like you know, you have like chunky peanut butter Imagine the chunks were onions and the peanut butter was cheese just like that. I can imagine that my favorite is just kind of bread Just white bread or white bread My favorite is just getting the like the cheese and and bread sandwich and then putting the chips on the Oh, I love the chips so much. Let's say Chris whatever is fantastic. I love it I went to this Britain's my Israel. You know how people are like really big on Israel I'm like that with Britain. I'm like we need to defend them. They're they're the greatest ally They need to blow up the Irish Like that's like Ireland's they were guys, you know, it's like very similar. Well, and Ireland's in Irgasus. Yeah, exactly. So I'm like rough them up. Come on get them. It's on the piece while we've talked about it Yeah, yeah, and then Israel like pretty apathetic. I went to that bar. That's like 2,000 years old in London. You know, I'm talking about There's a lot there's a bar there. It's like it's like from the 1800s, but it's like still there Yeah, like a Hadrian's wall is like that's like the Western wall for me like I have a picture of my Twitter I just went like hit a quick prayer there. That's because Hadrian's wall is awesome Yeah, so cool that the Romans built roads in England. Yeah, and they were like we got to keep the scots out So we're building this wall. Yeah, great. That's what it's called right? I don't know. I mean, I know like a lot of pubs in Britain keep getting demolished an accident and it's like They're historically reserved in terms of the standing company bulldoze that 1700s. That was way off Well, you also have like you also have these Islamic activists claiming that Having pubs near mosques the pubs should be shut down. It's like the pubs have been here since 16 whatever your mosque was put up last Tuesday it's crazy It's like they bring the rape and the killing and everything and then on top of that then they're like been out of shape about the The pub. I'm like, that's the worst part of the raping the killing's one thing, but like it has to be worse if they were intoxicated Oh, yeah, can you imagine that they're drunk all the time dude or the or trying to shut down the screening of Monty Python and the Holy Grail Really really wait. Why who is oh the this was a couple of weeks ago There was this Islamic group and Birmingham trying to shut down a screening of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where John Cleese was going to be speaking afterwards why because they say that John Cleese is a racist islamaphobic guy and then they reported John Cleese Someone reported John Cleese. It's anonymous, but it was published about in the London five pillars, which is this Muslim outlet And they reported John Cleese to a group called prevent, which is like this British program to prevent terrorism And so now John Cleese is apparently like under investigation and he keeps posting like arrest me. Go ahead. Yeah, John Cleese is awesome. Come on, you know, he's awesome Yeah, like he's like 86 86 and he's just taller. Yeah, just come take me and everything he's saying on Twitter is like Perfectly sensible and it's stuff that probably like 70 80% of the English people are thinking Because John Cleese is kind of like one of these avatars of the English men kind of like, you know, America You may look at someone like Trump as like this guy's kind of an avatar of America John Cleese is absolutely like an avatar of England A lot of those people that kind of embody the English like Jeremy Clarkson the same thing he comes out He just says very normal conventional things that are radical because we're in a really awful time But he's saying nothing that is An ordinary wouldn't be considered common sense, but yeah, John Cleese especially is 86 and he's still going hard and he's like come get me I don't care. I'm trying to save the country. I'm like fair enough In money pythons hilarious, too, so and he kind of took aim at Michael Palin He was like, oh, I'm sure Michael's gonna come defend me anytime now. Yeah That's not happening. It's a baller. I love him. Yeah, we talk about Trump Yeah, we go from the near post Trump derangement. No, he didn't ask Iran to attack LA or San Diego. That's not what I heard I heard on acts that Trump said, you know, Iran should should do it What did he say? Do we have the clip? No That's a thing there's no you gotta just trust the lips. Okay, if if if if I go if I counter this narrative Then the media is gonna call me far right. So I'll just agree. Yeah, sure, you know Yeah, you know, Trump wants to run to attack and I'd say it's The New York Post editorial board says California Democrats in a new damning low Gavin Newsman posted the president is advocating for an attack on 10 million U.S. residents He added this is not normal none of this is But here's what Trump really said You want to see a tremendous victory in Iran because it verifies all the things we did And again, remember with the word the gas price rise is just artificial to a little bit high Small price to pay for keeping the world safe keeping our country safe They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles and take out San Diego That's is a very small price to pay and it's gonna be over with very soon He was saying if we don't stop Iran, you'd be letting them do this right But everybody had to freak out Yeah, they're gonna say Tim's far right for giving context to what Trump said Yeah, you can't give context. You're right. You just have to believe what they tell you And uh never question it never think for yourself and never ever remember with the New York Times said go look at the original clip I mean, I guess the main criticism is we I think they're a city that offer up before those two San Diego. I think San Diego is great. I'd be like. Yeah, take out Portland. I'd be like. Yeah, that's yeah, we don't lose San Diego There's other ones that would be better. We've a base there too, right? San Diego, there's a lot more to patriots. They're about to win San Diego. Maybe even like What if you Republicans get now? Oh, it's patriots. They're same with L.I. It's like well, there's some there's some great people in L.I. Portland Can you can you read this tape don't go opinion don't go down the rabbit hole critical thinking as we've As we're taught to do it isn't helping in the fight against I'm sure I've been saying this dude. We got to stop thinking turn your brab thinking Stop just stop thinking ruining people bro sit back Let your mouth hang open and the saliva fall right out. Yeah, that's bliss smoke all the legal weed Yeah, order door dash your mask. Oh, that's just so expensive. It annoys me. I don't ever order. It's like it's like it comes It's soggy. Yeah. Oh, I know you know the best thing in the world is when you go to a Chinese food restaurant and you order like general So's and it's crispy and delicious. And when you order it, it's soggy and gross. But that's why you order it and then you just pick it up Yeah, ever forbid you eat in the restaurant can do that. Yeah, I remember I picked up Chinese. I went Get it picked up and I get into my apartment like lobby and there's a delivery driver delivering the same food And he's like you're a better man than this guy. He was like just like he was like Rapping on the guy that ordered it. I was like this is so funny. If we all just stopped thinking wouldn't the world be a better place? I agree and the New York Times could just tell us everything exactly. No You know, we can everybody watch the show just stop thinking and became members of Timkast and agreed with everything I said all the time and never questioned anything ever Then we'd have a stable business. I mean, it isn't this wonder how our grandparents really grew up I mean my grandparents didn't know that we had a president that couldn't walk Yeah, right? That's true. I true and my children grew up with a knowing a president that they didn't even know ever smoke to cigarette And then I just say this is like this is reality. This has happened for the last 150 years in our country and
I think goodness for Elon Musk and Twitter we might not ever have a chance. When you think about all the anxiety that, you know, people bring on, you know, keeping up with politics. So, wow, the future's looking grim or wow, there's a real fight happening here, whatever really stresses people out. North Koreans aren't worried. They're like, "Hey, Kim Jong-un, he's doing a bang up job. He's doing great." Well, we just won the World Cup. This is awesome. And this is the best time to be alive. And okay, we may look at him and say, "Well, they're suffering. You know, it's like Plato's cave or whatever." But when you think about how they're feeling, they're like, "We're, he's crushing." Like, we got lucky that we have the best Supreme Leader ever, because these, you know, morons down south, who knows what they're doing. There might be something, maybe there is a point. Like, maybe it would be awesome if we're just, like, locked away. Just watching Trump TV all day and like, he's crushing. You're prom. This isn't even going great, actually. So, I don't know. But that's true. Yeah, some of the old timers, you know, they thought, like, "Well, FDR, what are you doing in Marathon this week?" Exactly. So, basically, if you agree with this, you're on the left. If you disagree with this, you're far right. Right. Right. Yeah. It's, it's really remarkable that it's just so plainly obvious. Don't go down. Critical thinking is what I'm talking about. Okay. You know? All right. I'm ignorant with this. Is there a third position, though, where some people, like, just get mentally raped by, like, conspiracy theories? And it's like, maybe you would have been better off just watching Fox News. That's what he's saying. Oh, well, there's, like, some people I meet, and I'm like, "You were better off, like, not." Because they were like, "Do you think that, uh, do you think that the Germans are, like, still alive and they're running Walmart?" And I'm like, "Just put on hand." Yeah. Just put on hand, and they turn the brain off. Like, you're not cut out for this. But, you know, if you, like, I have people in my life who just watch Fox News all day, it never turned it off. It never shuts off. And I really think their brains have actually, like, disintegrated a little. That's probably true. You can go both directions, right? So, yeah. But I mean, this is the point that I often make. The question is, did their brains really disintegrate, or were they never there to begin with? You just never saw it because of social media. That's true. Like, back in the day, you didn't go and question your neighbors. And so, you didn't really know. And if they were repeating what they saw on TV, then you were like, you couldn't tell if they were an NPC or not. Now, they're just saying, you know, walking around, saying nonsense things, and, you know, you're like, "Okay, I don't know what you're listening to, but your brain is jello." Well, as I understand it, because I wasn't alive, obviously. But, as I understand it, the way the world used to work is that people were comfortable not knowing things. And now, people, like, are under the impression that they should have an answer for everything or be expected to know everything. And it puts a lot of pressure where I would, like, watch these street interviews. Like, you can go look at the BBC's catalog, and they would go talk to people about, you know, how do you feel about how's the prime minister doing or whatever? They're like, don't know. Yeah. And it's like, people seem to, they weren't idiots. Like, now people don't know because they're, like, retarded. But, like, people back then were quite smart. It just wasn't really that interesting to them. So, they just didn't bother. That's not a thing anymore. Like, anyone that has really, anyone in the United States has an opinion on politics. Well, but also, like, I think people didn't think it entirely affected their lives. Yeah, it wasn't as usual. So, they, you know, but now people think that things that happened 5,000 miles away haven't affected on their daily lives, even though they don't. Yeah, that's probably true. So, I think that's a difference too. I think people are obsessed with things that they can't control. And so, they feel like they have to know about it. But, it doesn't actually do anything worthwhile for their lives. Yeah. It seems like, and I'm probably guilty of this as well, it seems like curiosity is at an all-time low. People are very curious anymore. And it seems like when you. Really? Yeah, people are curious about stuff that's out of their control. But how things work, you know, how the world is, like, you know, botany and zoology. And these are all things that have died off. And I think people have lost a bit of, like, whimsy and curiosity about how the world is. About different people, not, like, psychologically, but like groups. We've been just about, like, discovering and thinking about new ideas. Yeah, it's just, I think, and again, I'm, I think I'm guilty of this. And you could maybe ascribe it to social media or something. But, you know, the amount of access to information that we have would, you know, if someone were alive, you know, someone from, like, the 1890s were alive now, they wouldn't be looking up, you know, lottery numbers. They'd be on Wikipedia reading about, like, a rock. And they're like, oh, my gosh, this rock, you know, you have all the information on a granite now. Like, oh, this is unbelievable. Like, they would be coming through stuff that we would think has really been all. But they just had this intense level of, like, curiosity about the world, almost like a child that would have lost. So, we were in this conversation before. You said something like Jehovah's Witness believe only some people have souls or whatever? Yeah, people are like, oh, no. They only believe like 144,000 early. But that's sure going to know God. I'm like, well, that's basically installed. But, but it's not actually the religion you're referring to is called valentinean gnosticism. Christian adjacent, they split people into three categories. Hilux, psychics, and pneumatics. pneumatics, a minority said to carry a divine spark. Numa, sewn from above. And only they returned to the divine realm. Psychics have a soul, but not a divine spark. And Hilux have no spirit in our destined to perish with the body. Fascinating. That's my new religion. Yeah. It's called some people are not really because, for all I know, whatever this religion is, I don't know what it is. It's going to say, like, and also we just don't like black people or something. And I'm like, wow. I'm not part of that religion. That's pain. We'll sign up. No, joke. I don't know. Yeah, I see. Eleanor Blavatsky wrote that many people are effectively soulless because the higher soulless dormant or severed and that personal immortality is rare. Not the same thing as a little okay. You know, you watch these street interviews and you're like, there's no way this person has like a concept of self in any meaning. Well, and I'm not even being me. Hey, it's hard to find what you should do. Wait, take, you got to do a man in the street where you put, you get red stickers, like a little red dot and you stick it to someone's forehead and then hold the mirror up and see how they see how they react. Like a dog. Well, do you know what? This is the experiment. This is the experiment of self. Yeah. They would put a sticker on an elephant's head, put a mirror in front of it and the elephant would then reach up with a trunk and then pull the sticker off. Signifying that it recognized inner reflection that it was itself. So you do the serenity of people. Not Indian. Elephant's head. So no, they're going to be like, no, they're going to go, what are you doing? And you know, hold the mirror and they're going to go, I don't get it. It's a Hindu elephant. What's the big? Oh, it's me. It's like when the birds look in the mirror and think it's another bird and they're friends now. Yeah, I'm really keep flying into your window. And she starts barking at the mirror. I'm like, dude, I wouldn't, you know, if this is what turned out to be true that some people, like only some people at souls, like, I can believe it. It is like a, it is like a philosophical, because as a Christian, you know, I believe that, you know, all of us are made in the image of God and everyone has the capability to know their maker, etc. But it is challenged when you, and I'm not even being like mean or facetious, when you see these, like, some people and their response to these questions. And they just quite literally cannot articulate anything about the world or themselves or anything. Right. Just like. And they cut us this person like function. I don't know. This is a big thing during cove with the idea of the NPC, the non-playing character, non-player character, or however you describe it. So the funny thing is when all these memeers were like, you know, non-playing characters NPCs making reference to like the inkeeper for video game. It's like welcome to your first philosophy lesson. This is solipsism. This is the philosophical zombie college freshman who studied this stuff learns a long time ago, but people were just not discovering it because they were leading to video games. I'll just say this. It's believable. You were playing a video game, right? You ever played what you ever played World of Warcraft tape? No. No, never played. Anybody in your play World of Warcraft? Yeah. No, it doesn't count. In World of Warcraft, you can go into say like Stormwind, major capital city for the humans. And you see a bunch of players running around and jumping around and they got names above their heads and their guilds. And they're like, "Oh, it's hard. He's walking in straight lines and he turns right and then he keeps walking." If you go up to him and click on him, he'll go, "Hey, you're cooking my gunner be like, "Hello there." You're cooking my like, "What do you want?" They have set amounts of things and if you keep tapping him, he goes, "You're starting to annoy me, but nothing will ever change." Now, what I find fascinating is, you know, maybe simulation, they would have never called it. Some people, you go to them and they seem to be on that immovable path. And you will say something like, "Here's proof you are wrong and they'll just say, "You're starting to annoy me." Like, bro, I just gave you information and just it and they cannot do it. Yeah, I mean, I hate the idea that there would be this NPC. We've talked about this before because I don't like it. Like, I want to believe that everyone is made in the image of God, that everyone has the opportunity for salvation and has a soul and all of that stuff. But it is hard to believe that. I suppose like, in the Christian tradition, maybe Calvinism creates room for this way of thinking. I would have to explore that more, but it is so compelling. Like, again, when you just meet, and I'm not talking about like, people that are just politically unsophisticated. I'm talking about like, there's a probably 20-30% proportion of the population that just cannot articulate anything about the world or themselves. With your self-awareness, zero understanding of how emotions work, they just completely operate off of impulse, super high time preference. And I'm like, there's no way this person is like an autonomous being like, they're just completely at the behest of external factors. They're almost like an alligator. When you start to engage in learning, that you get a little more light, a little more excitement about it, you want to do it more. But the opposite happens if you don't engage in it. I look at it as light. Like, you receive a little more light, you act on it, you get excited about it, you learn a little more, you receive a little more light, things become illuminated.
But the opposite happens if you don't pursue those things, you become a little darker, and your world becomes a little smaller, and you become less. I believe that we were sitting here by an eternal creator, and that good things have light surrounding them, and they lead to more light. Bad things really, to more darkness. Like we just self, that's the nature of it. - What do you think of this for you to keep that curiousness, like to keep that in your possession, 'cause it seems like that's what a lot of people do. - I really think it's simple. I think we come from an eternal creator who wants, and we want to create like him, and there's either, we're either sitting here to create or to destroy. That's the reality for me. - Yeah. - And with the more we create, the more we receive it. - We're gonna go to your Rumble Rands, and Super Chat, smash the like button, share the show with all your friends. We got this from Daniel Dickinson. Strange, this is happening around the midterm elections. Very strange indeed. Indeed. Terrible, 1382 says, "Speaking of metal guitar picks, "didn't Billy Gibbons play with a Mexican peso?" Well, the thing is, anyone who's ever played guitar has used the coin at some point, but they're round, so it's not fun. This metal AC/DC pick is shaped like a pick, which it actually works. It's just a heavy pick, so I was playing with it, and it actually plays pretty well. Normally I use like medium. This is as heavy as a pick could be, 'cause it's literally solid metal. For those who don't know thin, there's light, thin, or heavy picks, and they're flimsier, and lighter, and they can flick, you know, bass players might use a heavier pick, so it'll work for that. Tecru says, "I've been immune to everything "since I accidentally drank Indonesian gutter water "back in the '90s. "Several hours of body aches, "and I haven't been six since. "I was Russian, need my help." (laughing) Mitho says, "Angry cops did a great breakdown "on the other day on YouTube. "We should check it out, Tim, on what, the plague?" I was in Brazil, right? And I went to, in Brazil, Brazilian steak houses are like, Brazilian steak houses, right? So I ate some food, and then I went to a fruit stand, I got an acai bowl, it was delicious, and then a few hours later I started feeling sick, and I was like, "Oh, man." And so I was like, "About to throw up," and then I was in the bathroom, and then I was like, "I should probably avoid "these open meat shops in Brazil, "and just go with some fresh fruit and stuff and eat healthy." So I went, I was like, "Next time I eat, "I'm just gonna do the fresh fruit. "I'll say a bowl with the granola." Got another one, delicious. Few hours later, I was sick again, I was like, "Oh, man." And I'm like, "That food I ate at that steak house "must have been real bad, 'cause I'm still feeling sick." So I got sick, and then the next time I went to eat, so it's like the next day I was like, I'm gonna do fruit until I'm feeling better. So I got another SIE bowl, and then a few hours later I was sick again, and I was like, "The SIE is making me sick." - The water on the fruit? - Yeah, I just kept eating the same thing, getting sick, getting sick, getting sick. And then I was like, "I'm gonna eat the meat," and that's fine. - Yeah. - That was the most annoying when I was in Africa, and I'd traveled through just the remotest parts of the continent, I'm eating just really rolling the dice, and like meat that could be rotting, I'm just like, "I'm starving, I gotta eat this," et cetera. I get to Johannesburg, which okay, it's a rough place, but has first world amenities. I eat McDonald's and get the most sick I've ever gotten in my entire life, just because I don't know, maybe just getting hit with that pallet again or whatever. And I'm like, so I was fine eating just literal, rotting food, and really rolling the dice on a lot of things. And then you finally get first world amenity fast food for whatever reason to just hit road. And I was like, "Bedred." I was like, "What, this is the most unfortunate." - I just got home from St. Vincent's, and I picked up a parasite. - Oh jeez, that's not that fun. I've also got one of those once in Dominican Republic and in Kerkristan, they were all around the world. But I got home and I went, how did I get this parasite, right, in St. Vincent's? And they said, "Did you have any fruit from a fruit stand?" Said, "Yeah, I had the best watermelon." And he said, "It's not the fruit. It's the water that they used to wash the fruit." - Oh man, I ain't, little parasites. - You know, all right, we got this. Mason says, "If there has to be an argument about women being responsible for their own actions, then the argument has already been lost." And they have decided they aren't responsible enough for rights. I mean, look, you can't simultaneously argue that a drunk man and a drunk woman is a man raping a woman, which is, you can't do it. - It's not. - Yeah. - They had like a 40 year window where they were responsible in between women's emancipation and then like true modernity. And then now we're back to how it was before, which is they have less responsibility than men, but they don't have any overseer with the husband or the father, so now it's just chaos and energy. - And like, how can you argue that a woman should be president if there's every chance that she doesn't even believe she's responsible for her own actions? - Yeah. - Like that really, that, like it's so maddening. It's so maddening to me. - Like postpartum. - The sexual revolution has been won. Now you get to own your stupid choices. - Yeah. - Just own it. - Oh, the postpartum foreign policy is gonna be crazy. - My goodness gracious. - That's gonna be crazy. - You know? - Brownbear says, going back to the book about the Russian plague, wasn't there also a Netflix series that came out right before COVID that basically predicted the whole thing? - You're talking about Utopia on Amazon. And if you don't know about Utopia, go watch the show. It got canceled because it reflected COVID too well. - Oh my goodness. - You don't know about Utopia? - Yeah. - The show was a silo, though. - The tech watched that. - The tech billionaire who's concerned about climate change, so he manufactures a fake pandemic to push through a vaccine without testing and the vaccine actually sterilizes people. - Oh, that's terrible. And that's just like COVID. And a lot of people were like, this is weird. - Weirdly COVID is. - Amazon was like, yeah, we're not gonna do this one. - Wow. - Yep. The best part is the show is about a group of people who believe there's a comic book where someone has placed clues in the book about what the plan of the global elites are. And if you can find this comic book Utopia, it'll tell you what their next phase of the plan is gonna be. In our world, there's a TV show that some people believe contains clues about the plans of the elites. So it's like, it's recursive. It's crazy, very, very nuts. I'll also add this, people have been putting the AIs through political compass tests. Only one AI is right libertarian. And can you guess? - Is it Groc? - Yeah. - Yeah. - All the rest of them are communist, not even kidding. Well, they're left libertarian. So they're anarcho-communist, insane. So we go back to Elon Musk is sending rockets to space 'cause that's what he wants to do. And he's trying to save free speech. - Mm-hmm, that's crazy. There was that viral moment where someone posted a picture of all those various deities. And then someone said Groc remove all the fake gods and then it made a picture of Jesus. And then there were like angry lips being like, why did you do that and Groc responded? Because Jesus is the only true God. Like that was nuts. Like people were like, wow, based. All right, let's see what we got cooking. Rambling gem says, I rebranded to Rambling Gems was bright results media. Madeline Columbia premiered this Sunday, living abroad, nature, luxury tours, motos and cool stuff too. Hi Libby. - Hello. - Gone falls as people will be safe from the illegal immigrant truck drivers if we lock down. - Oh mate. - They're aligning us. Let's see, Millennium, maybe they want it in Ukraine, but it started in Russia as plausible deniability. Accidents do happen. What we talk about the other day, Russia says, oh no, there's this plague and then it just conveniently spreads wiping out the Ukrainian population, they win the war. If they were gonna release a Russian bio-weapon and everyone would be like you intentionally released a bio-weapon, if it's an accidental lab leak, then it's like, oh or so sorry this happened. And then they take the land with no resistance. Creepy. - That is creepy, although they're sort of trying to take the land with no resistance anyway in New York with the whole socialist property grab. - True. - Dustin says Thomas Jefferson allegedly said, "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." Also, I got my first box of Casbrue K-Cups rise rules. Right on, pick up Casbrue.com. I made a post earlier, I'm not X.

It is the best coffee period, ladies and gentlemen, Casbrue coffee. Now does anybody know what that's from? All these responses just like didn't bother Googling it. It's a tenacious dereference. - Oh, I forgot all about it. - What a handful of people are posting, Smirking Jack Blacks, a tenacious V. From the song Master Exploder, to I recommend you watch because it's hilarious. We love that movie. All right, what do we got of you? Deck Wolfen says Jesus does directly address NPCs. He advises that everyone has a soul but a soul is naturally tiny and has to be grown to become better and more independent. That could be why some people are red-pooed. They eventually break free. - A little tiny soul, people. - But through training and exercise, they can be big souls. Some say too big. - Big, strong soul. - My friends, smash the like button, share the show with all your friends. - Rose soul. - You can follow me on accent Instagram @timcast.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Russian media reports a second death from pneumonic plague in Siberia, with six hospitals under quarantine and border health screenings in neighboring countries.
The Russian government denies lab accidents and downplays the threat, while local sources and whistleblowers suggest a possible bio-weapon breach at a BSL-3 lab.
A narrative nonfiction book by Annie Jacobson outlines a scenario of a lab leak causing a fatal pandemic, raising speculation about real-world risks despite being a "what-if" scenario.
Experts note pneumonic plague has a high fatality rate (8–30% with treatment), but if undetected, it could spread rapidly through respiratory droplets, prompting serious public health concerns.
The story has sparked debate over government overreaction, with some suggesting panic could lead to unnecessary lockdowns, while others argue vigilance is essential.
The Cornell 7 case has evolved into a controversial narrative, with new evidence suggesting the accused man reported assault in November, and the school failed to act—fueling accusations of institutional bias.
The case highlights deeper societal issues around consent, accountability, and gender dynamics, with growing debate over whether sexual assault definitions are being politicized.
Both the plague and Cornell stories reflect how misinformation, political narratives, and public fear can amplify real or imagined crises.
Summary:
A recent report from Russian media claims a second death from pneumonic plague in the Erkutsk region, prompting widespread concern and a lockdown of six hospitals. The Russian government denies lab accidents and downplays the threat, while local whistleblowers and Soviet-era records suggest a possible bioweapon breach at a BSL-3 facility. The narrative is amplified by a nonfiction book by Annie Jacobson, which details a catastrophic pandemic from a lab leak—though it's framed as a war game, not a prediction.
Experts note that pneumonic plague is deadly, with up to 30% fatality without treatment, and spreads via respiratory droplets, making rapid response critical. However, the lack of visible spread or confirmed cases, combined with a calm public response in some areas, leads to skepticism about the severity. Meanwhile, the story of the "Cornell 7" case has shifted dramatically: one man reported sexual assault in 2022, with the school taking no action, and now allegations suggest the accuser may have been intoxicated and the incident consensual.
This has ignited debate over consent, gender accountability, and institutional negligence. Both narratives reveal how real events can be distorted by political agendas, media sensationalism, and public fear—highlighting the danger of overreaction and the need for transparency, investigation, and balanced public discourse.
FAQs
Reports suggest a possible case of pneumonic plague in Siberia, but official confirmation is lacking. The Russian government has denied lab accidents and downplayed the situation, while local media reports have been deleted or retracted.
Soviet-era whistleblower claims suggest former bio-weapons facilities in Russia may have developed weaponized plague strains. However, no confirmed evidence exists, and experts note that regular pneumonic plague is treatable with antibiotics.
The World Health Organization states that untreated pneumonic plague has a case fatality rate of 30% to 100%, with early antibiotic treatment reducing this to around 17%.
Experts and AI analyses suggest the risk of a full pandemic is low. The outbreak appears limited, with only one confirmed case and no widespread transmission reported, and authorities have not confirmed a broader threat.
The Russian government has denied any lab accident and downplayed the situation, with local media reports about the plague being deleted or retracted, raising concerns about censorship and a cover-up.
Annie Jacobson’s narrative nonfiction book outlines a hypothetical scenario of a lab-borne pneumonic plague outbreak. While not a fiction, it has fueled speculation and fear, though it is considered a 'what-if' scenario, not a prediction.
