Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:15

All right, here we go with another episode of the Slack Doctors. I am Dr. Chip. I am Dr. Bob. And uh it was an interesting drive down today. I almost took the motorcycle. I was very close. I was literally going out to open the gate and wheel the bike out. When luckily I looked to the west and I said, hmm, maybe not, because if I rode the bike down here today, I would have got drenched not only once, but twice. Like literally drenched. Like that, not like you know, in South Florida, sometimes you get a little rainstorm on a bike, and it's like, eh, I really didn't get very wet. And then by the time you get where you're going, you're blow-dried and you're done. But no, both of these times would have been completely drenched to the to the bone. And not only that, the first uh rainstorm I went through where I would have got totally drenched, I had to leave my sunglasses on. It was yeah, it was bright sun shining down on completely buckets full of water coming down on the way down. Sun a sun shower. Oh my god, like like nothing you've ever seen. And then it happened again.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

It's gonna be brutal here in Gainesville today. Like it is just ridiculously stormy outside and windy.

SPEAKER_02 1:27

But the scary thing is, it's like when I at my house, it looks great. It looks fine. There's nothing, there's like unless you look to the west, there's not a cloud in the sky, really. Everything's sunny and bright. It was it's actually nice here when I got here. It's beautiful out. It's like Jesus. But in between, you know, and that's the thing. I'm gonna have to look into a rental car because I mean now the gas is four dollars a gallon. I don't know about driving my Jeep down here anymore, man. I'm gonna have to get maybe a rental car. And not only that, I mean, even in the summer, even if it's not raining, it may be too hot for the for the motorcycle. Sometimes in the summer it's just it just gets too hot.

SPEAKER_03 2:04

Anyway. The reason I keep glancing up like that is because the window outside, I can see the tree branches moving and they are really starting to kick. Right? It keeps dragging and catching my attention.

SPEAKER_02 2:14

Any lightning flashing or anything like that?

SPEAKER_03 2:17

Not yet. Uh not yet. But there was a tr pretty good crack of thunder right before we started recording. Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 2:23

I was a little worried when I pulled up because I did you see that what they're doing out here at the street? No, what are they doing? They're putting well, they're putting up street lights, first of all, one thing, but then they're also putting up what looked like a 5G tower or something. Oh, no, no, I don't know, it's on a black pole, this big black thing.

SPEAKER_03 2:42

It could be a flock camera.

SPEAKER_02 2:44

But it's everywhere. But I've seen flock cameras, at least in the UK and stuff, and that's not what they look like. This thing looks like a transmitter of some sort or whatever, but it could be, it could be a flock camera. Or, you know, who knows? Nowadays they may have the flock camera combined with the uh what is it, the gunshot detector things? Yeah, what are those things?

SPEAKER_03 3:01

Oh, that's already been part of it. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

Right, right, right. So, yeah, maybe they make it all in one borg-looking cube now that they stick on a pole. Yeah, they're mic'd. They're definitely mic'd. Yeah, it's crazy. Crazy. All right. Well, anyway, so what is there to talk about? Well, you know, one of the things I wanted to talk about before we get into any any clips or anything is uh Tucker Carlson, um, he may be in some trouble. You hear about that? No. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

Although I will say uh SNL uh that did this last weekend. I saw a clip on YouTube, and the guy doing the impression of Tucker Carlson did a pretty respectable job.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

Yeah, it was pretty good. But apparently Tucker's might get arrested soon because they're trying to say, and and apparently this is all from Larry, I mean Laura Loomer. Larry Loomer. Um, she turned him into like the FBI or the CIA or something about that because he was emailing Iran, you know, before the uh before the shit kicked off, and they're trying to now say that he was like, you know, some kind of he should have registered as as a foreign agent or something like that, and blah blah blah. Well like giving him a heads up. Oh, he knows people. I mean, dude, his dad worked for the CIA. He knows people in the CIA, so yeah, it's he's always that's what he always says. He's like, Yeah, some people high up have been telling me. That's that's his that's why he's you know, he is who he is, is because he's got that inside info that you know. But anyway. But yeah, so they're they're threatening to arrest him, yada yada yada. He doesn't seem too worried about it. And here's the thing Candace Owens um she made she put out a tweet. I'm probably I'm not I'm not probably gonna quote this correctly, but basically the extent of if they arrest Tucker Carlson or if anything happens to Tucker Carlson, we ride. And we ride against the uh and uh the against the Bolsheviks. We she says, we. Oh yeah, yeah. So of course people are saying she's in you know anti-Semitically, you know, prompting violence towards sorts Zionists. Oh, did you hear that? I did hear that. That's a good one. Wow. Might be a short show.

SPEAKER_03 5:15

Yeah, you might be flying solo before this thing is over. We'll see. Well, let's get to some clips before you get knocked out of the air. Right, all right. We can share some clips. Yeah, here we go.

SPEAKER_05 5:32

I am nodding, nothing. Just fight someone. Stop. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 5:43

Stop making Lewis cry.

SPEAKER_03 5:46

Yeah, I know. You know what's funny too is that uh all right, I'm gonna stop share and we'll go back to full screen. It's um funny about that is that uh the guy's even wearing the kind of shirts that I wear. It really is, you know what I mean? It honestly could have been me. Sadly, it was not. I I never attend anything that fun. Interesting. It was rough seeing him cry, though. Yeah. It happens. All right, so the next one I'm gonna share, uh, give you a second to get ready for it. But um, you've long been saying how you how much you wish you could get a a live debate between these two people. Oh, yes. And this is not a debate between them, it's close, but it most assuredly is uh, you know, yeah, it is getting closer. All right, here we go.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

It will because Israel will just move on to India and other countries, and America will fall.

SPEAKER_06 6:41

Not just that, the sleeper sounds.

SPEAKER_00 6:43

America will fall, and that's what they want. I mean, that is what they want is that the constitutional reason.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

You hear that in her voice? You hear that in her voice the way she says, America will fall. America will fall, she says. The reason I played that clip and the reason I even bring it up. I try to show you things like this so you get a feel.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

You really can't get two more diametrically opposed people, I would say, than these two people. And as much as you'd like to see a debate, do you think they could even?

SPEAKER_02 7:15

I mean, do we need to continue with this? Uh no, not really. I mean, well, do you gotta keep going until Lisi makes her look the make the Jew thing? The Jewish consciousness.

SPEAKER_06 7:24

She's gloating. She goes, America will fall. Like the Jewish witch that she is.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

You're right, we should have let that in.

SPEAKER_06 7:31

Like the bitch that she is. She goes, America will fall. You could probably practically see her rubbing her hands together from the kettle, from the ghetto.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Yeah, you're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_06 7:42

She's over there, air little like she's Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:45

So, yeah, we'll stop sharing. Well, that's true, but they're on the opposite ends of the crazy.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Absolutely. I don't know if you could get them to be civil enough in a room to have a debate.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

Well, that's why I would be they would you would all have to have to book it as a UFC slash, you know, yeah, it would be a shouting match.

SPEAKER_03 8:07

It wouldn't be a they could have it, they could have a debate like like we're doing now on uh Zoom or something or Riverside or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 8:13

Oh, it would be so much better if they're in the same room, like literally sitting in chairs right across from each other, like spitting distance from each other.

SPEAKER_03 8:21

I was just gonna say, maybe have to put like a plastic divider or something, you know, like at like in a fast food place. Just go on. It'd be great.

SPEAKER_02 8:29

I'd pay to see that. I'm telling you, what promoters guard off a salad bar? I'm telling you, Dana White, uh, somebody like that has gotta make this happen. Think of the money they'd make. Make it a pay-per-view event. I'd pay. I've never paid for a pay-per-view in my life, but I'd pay for that. That's insane.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

Those two are just that would be entertaining for sure. Yes, it would. Um you wanna we wanna see uh prove that wrestling might be real after all?

SPEAKER_02 8:57

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Well, yeah, we've I don't know if it's real or not, but after this clip, I have become a huge fan. Yeah, I'm not sure if if yeah, I'm not sure if this is considered real or not, but it definitely I want to make sure I got the right one before I share it. All right. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 9:24

All the way into the turnbuckle. The music is so perfect, too. Here, you can leave him. We're only gonna talk about this one for a second. Just leave it on like uh that was that is hilarious, though. And the back the backhand just to get him warmed up for it is is quite apropos. Here, wake up.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

Yeah, that's what I thought too, just to make him gasp so his nostrils are wide open as he gets run down the line. Oh, but I'm a fan now after that. All right, what else you got? All right, well, well, uh, it's funny that you would send me this link, right? So, this is this Chinese, I don't know if he's a professor or just a teacher, or if he's just got his studio set up like he's in his classroom or something. I'm seeing getting real Yeah, he's real popular. He's getting really popular, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he's you know, he shares a lot of he talks a lot about game theory, but this is him talking about uh uh tech guys.

SPEAKER_08 10:18

Mark Zuckerberg? Really strange. This 19-year-old guy drops out from Harbor and follows Facebook, okay? And now he's a billionaire. How does that happen, guys? Well, it must be an American dream. Oh, chat GPT, guys. Really strange. If you have a dream and you just follow it, you can make a billionaire in America. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:43

Yeah, yeah. That's what you guys are.

SPEAKER_08 10:47

Google, it's always a scam. Okay? What you need to understand about these companies is they were all founded with US military technology and it's public, okay? The internet, it's a US military technology. Google, these search engines, it's all US military technology. They'll give it to these guys for free. What do they do that?

unknown 11:10

Okay?

SPEAKER_08 11:10

Again, if you think that we're ruled by secret societies, and it's really secret societies that control the world, and they want this technology out there to do better to better surveil people, it makes a lot more sense, right? Because if the Pentagon said, hey, for this free computer that you can use, you'd be like, I'm gonna use this computer because you'll spy on me, right? But if Mark Zuckerberg says, hey, free Facebook guys, are gonna use it yet? Yeah, sure, Facebook, yeah. He said Thor from Harvard, of course you can be trusted.

SPEAKER_03 11:39

All right, so first of all, everybody carries around their, you know, you don't need the actual product to uh to have people be spied upon. People willingly carry their cell phone with them all the time. Yeah, and as far as the U.S. military, you know, providing technology that then gets turned into commercial usage, duh. It's it's always been that way. Where do you think your GPS came from? Where do you think your microwave came from? Where do you think Teflon comes from? Well, and it's not where do you think the McRib sandwich comes from? Yeah, I was gonna say it's not military that came up to the street. It's not limited to high-tech either. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

It's everything. Yep, yep, yep, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

Um, now I will say that there's a great deal of government subsidies and handouts and whatnot that go along with some of these companies, especially Musk. I mean, most of his money comes from SpaceX, which is direct contracts with the U.S. government. Well, even when Teslas were selling at first, it was because they were people were getting these crazy rebates on them. Exactly. You know, and tax breaks.

SPEAKER_02 12:34

Yeah, and tax, yeah, and that's you know, yeah. Without without the government, uh none of these guys would be anything.

SPEAKER_03 12:40

Yeah, yeah. And Palantir was absolutely created and used extensively during the Afghan conflict.

SPEAKER_02 12:46

And here's the thing: anything tech driven, I mean, you you gotta remember, I mean, you know, what is it? Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet, right? You know, so he's you know, he's pretty deep in the in the state, I would say. So anything involved with uh, you know, they say Google was created and run by the CIA, WikiLeaks is CIA, anything tech driven pretty much has to go through the government because what they do is they go, okay, we're gonna let you do whatever you want, but we want you to put this little back door in. This little little you know, this little gateway to the back door of everything and everyone, of everything that everybody ever has, you know, so that we can collect that data, you know.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

And and it's just it's a combination of that, and also sometimes it's a question of whether when once they have something so much more advanced, they'll give the they'll give the shitty version to the public. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. An example of that would be GPS. Like your GPS can get you to the door, their GPS can get you to the pocket. Right, right. Your shirt pocket, you know, like your eyeball or something.

SPEAKER_02 13:48

Yeah, but my point being is none of this tech gets through the government without them installing some kind of little, you know, gateway or uh what's it called? What's the word I'm thinking of? Backdoor. Backdoor, yeah. Some little backdoor to get in there and surveil you and do this and do that. And there's only one to one way to to combat that. Don't put your shit on the internet. Don't put your shit in the digital domain, and then they actually have to spy on you with the camera, which is in your phone, unfortunately. And it and in these things, there's cameras and all these cameras.

SPEAKER_03 14:19

Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's crazy. Yeah. Which monitor everything from you know, and they're not just LPRs, they're not just license plate readers because they also log things such as make, model, color, dents, tire wear, the human gait, your clothing, and yes, the person driving the car, and yes, it's a lot more than just looking at the plate. I've yet to get a bill for going down socrass. That's funny. I just got one a couple of days ago from my last trip down.

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Maybe you have to go farther down before they charge or something. I mean, I'm only going from the beginning to university. Maybe that's not far enough. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 14:56

I don't know. Or maybe that's just one little part of road that doesn't enforce.

SPEAKER_02 14:59

Maybe the cameras don't work there. I don't know. But I even checked today too, because I was thinking, well, maybe it I thought for a while I was like, maybe it just says sun pass only, but they can't do that. They can't tell me I can't go on a road, obviously, right? What are they gonna you know? I you know, but I did pay attention today, and it does say toll by plate or sunpass, and I've been going for you know, since the end of January. Not a bill yet, nothing.

SPEAKER_03 15:25

Um so I'm pretty surprised.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

Yeah, but but they can recognize your face and your speech and your spending habits and your you know, advertised to you, and yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 15:36

Not on that stretch of road, they can't.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

Yeah, apparently not. Apparently not. Yeah, it's it's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

Um Netanyahu, I guess, proving have you seen the rumors or heard the rumors that he was hitting one of the strikes? So there's people in the comments that say this is AI, and they specifically talk about the coffee cup and looking at him squeezing the cup and the level doesn't move. So I want to preface the video with that so we can try to pay attention to that.

SPEAKER_09 16:09

Come on. Hi.

SPEAKER_03 16:31

I don't know. I mean, it looks like the level's moving to me. Uh how does he not spill it?

SPEAKER_02 16:37

First of all, it could be it's mostly foam on top, probably. All right, but then also if you notice when he takes a sip, it's still full. It like doesn't look level of it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_03 16:47

If it's mostly foam on top and he's taking a sip, it's the liquid coming through the other thing I can see it.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

Yeah, yeah. The other thing they're showing is that like he looks too good in this. Like, if you put a picture of him like a recent picture photo up to next to this image of him, he looks too good. I mean, unless they spend a lot of time make, you know, doing hair and makeup and getting the lighting just right for this, you know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

More likely than that using digital filters.

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I could see it either way. I mean, this could be a guy wearing a mask, as far as we know. You know, they've got those masks now. It could be whoever. I mean, that's what that's what they've you know. I've seen a couple of beans, you know, little clips like that where they show this and then the guy takes off his mask and it's you know uh Tom Cruise or something like that.

SPEAKER_03 17:35

It could be it could be the whole thing is done being done by an actor, and the only part that's fake is the face and the head. And it could just be AI'd over that. But here's the thing here's the thing Grock will do that for you if you give him nine dollars a month.

SPEAKER_02 17:49

Here's the thing. This is the only thing I've seen from Night Netanyahu since they've been rumoring that he got killed. And it this is pretty I don't know. Yeah, I I was gonna say it seems like that's a pretty pathetic attempt, if that's all they got. And and did you also see now this is this may or may not be related, but have you seen the clip of uh I guess uh what's the guy's name, Scott Bes Besnit Besnett? Besnit Bennett? Bennett? One of the the the the gay guy that uh I think he's head of the commerce or something, Scott Besnett? I forget the guy's name. But anyway, he's in the middle of doing an interview, and all of a sudden somebody comes in and says, Hey, uh Mr. The President needs to see you right away. And he goes, Oh, okay, hold on a second, and they stop the interview and he goes, and it comes back, and and a lot of people say he looks visibly rattled. Like, you know, so maybe they brought him in and said, Hey man, they got not net yahoo. We gotta keep it quiet though. We're gonna try and you know pretend like they didn't, you know what I mean? Just seem to be like maybe. Yeah, I haven't seen the footage. Yeah, well, I I've seen it, and it it is true. He comes back with a little bit different demeanor. I don't know if I would say rattled, but he seems really upbeat at the beginning of the interview. God, what's the guy's name? Bennett? Bennett Besnett? Something like that, Scott. God, I can't remember. It's it's like Bennett with an S in there somewhere. I forget, but uh yeah, but when he comes back, he seems a lot more solemn, you know, and a lot not quite as giddy as when he when he left the room. But uh yeah, so who knows? Maybe they got him. I mean, not that it matters. You know, there's not like you know, he's like the Khomeini guy. It's just they're just gonna replace him. It's now, you know, they're they're probably 20 deep in Netanyahu's, just like you know, the Iranians are probably, you know, 20 deep in Khomeini's. So who cares, you know. But what I mean, obviously in their their eyes, uh and apparently this a lot of this war is just a lot of PR. A lot of people are saying that, you know, a lot of stuff is happening that isn't getting reported here because of all the censorship, which you know, I don't know if it's we've had that kind of censorship since like World War II, which was he probably one of the most heavily censored, you know, conflicts on the planet, but it there wasn't near as much, you know, camera cameras around and stuff like that. That's not like it is now. Everybody has a camera. But yeah, I mean back in World War II, they read the you know, the the GIGI's letters and stuff. You couldn't send a letter back without getting read, you know. So they were they were very sensitive, but yeah, this apparently a lot of shit's going down that it's not getting reported.

SPEAKER_03 20:21

And again, we also are on the cusp of of uh a new era where photographic evidence won't even video evidence won't really matter anymore because you will never be able to tell if it's real or not. So good point.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Good point.

SPEAKER_03 20:33

It was an interesting era. Uh we're we're gonna have to go back to eyewitnesses, which are horrible, uh horrible reliability.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

And then you got and then you got guys like PBD and his whole cast of idiots over there that can't tell video game from video from actual war footage. Oh, yeah. As we proved in one of our episodes last year. Stupid those guys, those guys are idiots. Except for that guy Tom. That guy Tom should spin off his do his own thing. Otherwise, those those guys I I guess that one guy got what's not what's the one guy's name? Adam. That guy Adam got in big trouble for something he said. He said something really stupid. Of course, he's not, you know, he's not a genius.

SPEAKER_03 21:14

You know, not that we are used to play a lot of games and still does play some. I I I don't like the games that are hyper-realistic. I just want a little art style. I'd like to see it stylized. I don't want it to look you know, just like I'm watching a movie.

SPEAKER_02 21:30

Uh yeah, I don't know. Well, which is which is funny. That that kind of tailboards it boards into something else I wanted to talk about, which I do not get Wi-Fi. I don't understand it. Um, like I was thinking about, you know, doing this show remotely, but uh uh the oh by the way, the party I mentioned went off without a hitch. Uh miraculously did not rain that day. It was nice and beautiful, everything was great. Um what about parking? I don't know where they parked. I don't know what I yeah, I it just happened. Happened. I don't know what happened. They all got there. I don't know where they parked. I don't know what happened. I don't know how that happened. But anyway, well, I was setting up a little speaker system for the keyboard buddy, my buddy, to play through, and I had my laptop out there, and I figured I'd just play some tunes from YouTube or something. Well, I couldn't get Wi-Fi to connect to my laptop. I was like, it's not any farther away than my house. And here's the other thing: like the desktop at my house, I used to get, you know, the little bar signals for Wi-Fi. I used to get full bars. Now I only get one, if that. And then it drops out every once in a while. Why is that? What happened? What changed? What's going on? Why is the Wi-Fi work sometimes, not work other times? I mean, you remember when we were trying to make that laptop just work on Zoom. We tried for what a half hour, and I was like, nope, the internet's back out again. While it works perfectly fine on my one bar uh desktop. So how does that work? How does Wi-Fi work? It doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

I don't know. No, I'm not I'm not I have no idea how it works. I would tell me my first thought would be that it would be the the guys maybe some of their hardware, the router or whatever is yeah, but why is it I don't know why would it be different for buy a new one, get an upgrade?

SPEAKER_02 23:11

It just doesn't make any sense. It's so wacky. If anybody could explain it to us, that'd be uh great if you call us at 904-549-9024 and leave us a message as to how the frickin' wizardry of Wi-Fi works, because I don't get it. But I am gonna take I'm I'm I was gonna I was gonna actually try today to maybe do a remote show from our buddy Stevie No Drive's uh guitar store. Um but I I didn't have faith in if it would work or not. But I am gonna end up running over there tomorrow and I'll take the laptop and see if it'll connect to his Wi-Fi. If it does, maybe, maybe we'll do it there Friday or something. But he always has me roaring laughing whatever with that guy, so we got to get him on the show one way or the other.

SPEAKER_03 23:50

I don't think I've seen him since the incident. Right.

SPEAKER_02 23:53

Maybe I have once, but and we've we've talked about the incident on on on the show before, right? I'm I'm fairly certain. I think he did, yeah, but we'll have to we'll have to revisit it if we I'd like to hear his his interpretation of it if we uh if we do do the show from his uh Yeah, and I'd like to know if he ever got any aftermath from that, like from his cousin.

SPEAKER_03 24:12

Well I believe it was his cousin, you know what I mean? Like did he get a talk. Dressing down. Oh, a nephew. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

I think it's a nephew, not even a cousin.

SPEAKER_03 24:21

Yeah, like hey man, don't don't pull me into that kind of shit again, you know.

SPEAKER_02 24:26

I doubt it. I doubt it. I doubt it. He's white. It's not like it's not yeah, no. Are we at a clips? Is that what was ended on the clips?

SPEAKER_03 24:36

Uh I think no, I've still got one, the one about the housing, the FEMA.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Oh, yeah, that's a pretty good one, actually. Yeah, let's and then we'll talk about that because that's actually a pretty interesting subject. Uh we got hurricane houses in Florida.

SPEAKER_07 24:49

Huge, huge price cuts. In some cases, the values of these houses are down as much as 40% the last two years because the hurricane came through and damaged the insides. No shit, the value's down. The one behind me was $4.99 a couple years ago. Now it's $349. There's one down the street. Mozilla value has gone down 40% the last two years. And the main issue is, everyone, something called the FEMA 50% rule. FEMA does not want the owners of these houses renovating them. Rather, FEMA wants them knocked down and rebuilt.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

Door to door, knocking on everybody's door, and we say, Hi, my name is so-and-so. Well with FEMA, was your home affected because of Hurricane Helene? If they say yes, would you like to register?

SPEAKER_07 25:32

Because if the damage on the inside costs more than 50% of the structure's value to repair, you're not allowed to do it. FEMA is forcing towns like St. Pete Beach to not allow these houses to get repaired. And it's really a shame. There's multiple houses here where they're just sitting on the market empty and no one's buying them because you can't simply renovate it. You're gonna have to lift the house, elevate it, put it on stilts, which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can see looking at this map that home values are down all across the west coast of Pinellas County, St. Beach, and Clearwater, down as much as 21% the last three and a half years. We haven't seen a crash this bad since the 2008 downturn. And it's not only the hurricane. If we zoom out, we can see home values are down all across the state of Florida, even in Orlando, Jacksonville, and Southeast Florida in Miami. The demand to buy in Florida is way, way down. Migration has dropped by 93%. And the areas that are getting hit worse are these hurricane house areas where these owners unfortunately had their houses damaged during Hurricane Helene. In my opinion, if you don't have a mortgage, why shouldn't you be able to just renovate your house how you want to be renovate it? But the way it works is that FEMA forces the local municipalities to put this in the building code so these local municipalities can be eligible for FEMA funds in the future.

SPEAKER_03 26:53

My first comment is how the hell did a YouTube short run that long? I didn't think they'd let you upload something that long. I swear to God, it was like a full-length video. No, some shorts, I've seen shorts go like 10 minutes, I think. I thought it was a three-minute limit, but anyway. Oh, I don't know. But here's the thing. What's that? Your first thoughts on this.

SPEAKER_02 27:12

Well, here's the thing. This is all about the role of government. Because, first of all, FEMA's not wrong. They're they are correct in saying don't rebuild the house that is sure to flood again. They're not incorrect. I mean I agree with that. But do they have the right to force you? That's really the question. And and you know, I'm full, you know, full disclosure, if somebody wants to go in there and say, look, I don't think it's gonna flood again, why why shouldn't they be able to take their chances? Now, you get homeowners insurance might be rough, you know. So, but if you buy cash and you don't need homeowners insurance, why can't you go? Hey, that was a once that was the one once in a century storm or group of storms. It ain't gonna ever happen again in my life.

SPEAKER_03 27:59

They should have to do you think they should have to also exclude themselves from ever accepting any FEMA fund should disaster hit the area again?

SPEAKER_02 28:07

Well, that depends. I mean, FEMA funds to rebuild the house, yes. FEMA funds to give them food because there's no food around, no. You know, or depends the depends on what it is. And that's more of like, you know, what is the role of government after, you know, something like this? Why i why is FEMA giving anybody money for their houses? That's isn't that what insurance is for? I mean, or is the FEMA just specifically for people that don't have insurance, or is it to cover, you know, it's like look, it's just and not that I'm having a go above and beyond the insurance, perhaps? Or I have no idea how it works. I all I know is I tried to get FEMA once after a hurricane, and I didn't get shit. Blew my roof off, and I had to spend $2,500 to fix it. Luckily, I was just selling the house anyway, so it didn't really matter.

SPEAKER_03 28:48

But uh think how weird it would be. Like the guy said that you know, you gotta put stilts, hundreds of thousands of dollars. How odd and awkward would it be to be somebody with the money to literally go in there, pay, get the codes, get the permits, fix, build one a new house there, put it on giant stilts, and then all around you is just still broken down, destroyed houses and stuff, and you come to your neighborhood and you look out the look down out your window, and all you see is destruction. Although it might spur other people into actually doing it.

SPEAKER_02 29:18

Well, no, I mean, uh sooner or later they're that if the houses are just sitting empty, sooner or later they'll just either decay and fall apart, or somebody will tear them down, or but yeah, I mean, uh, you know, and this is and here's the thing, he's he's mentioning the fact that the that the prices are going down all over the floor, and they are because of the the fact that there's tons of uh you know, lots of inventory coming on and lots of people leaving the state and a lot of the you know motor. But at the same time, all those places over there, like you can buy a house over there now for 150, 200 grand. Of course, it needs to be renovated, it needs to be put on stilts, you know. But the problem is if somebody is in Orlando and they go, you know, to buy a house and they go, Well, I want 350,000 for the house, and they go, Well, look, I can buy the same thing in Sarasota for 250. Well, you kind of can, but not really. You know, but where the other guy, the guy's much likely to go, okay, I'll get don't give it to you for 300 then. You see what I'm saying? They can use that as a bargaining chip if the people aren't you know savvy enough to go, no, no, go buy that place then. You know, but that's you're selling something that expensive, you should be savvy enough to do a quick search. Well, not only that, it's the whole it's the whole way they figure out the value of houses, which is all comparative, you know. So if if you know it, you know, you have to you're supposed to compare stuff in the area, obviously. But if you you know, if you go just say, well, let's go statewide comparative, then the average of those kind of houses gotta go down. Because, you know, but that's you know, it's funny too, because there's a huge lawsuit uh going through Texas now, and there's a guy that does a a podcast about it, and he's got a lawyer, something wex not Wexler? Lex Lex Westner, I think is the name of the lawyer that's filing the suit in Texas because basically in Texas they've been cheating like sons of bitches on property taxes. You know, obviously your property tax is supposed to be levied on the value of the house, which is supposed to be determined by a formula. Well, apparently in Texas they have not been using that formula, they've been just they've been just doing it exactly backwards instead of saying this is how much you owe for your tax, they go, Well, this is how much we need, so this is how much you owe. You know, not not anything to do with the value of the house or what you actually owe in taxes, just what they need. That's what you owe. This is how much we need, so that's what you owe. You know, so that's how much is it? How much you got. Yeah, exactly. Pretty close. But uh, you know, and the and the whole the whole system of property taxes. And then here's the other thing. If anybody ever takes the time to look at your property tax bill, 80 to 90 percent of that money is completely wasted on public education. That's where all the money goes. Public education. And look at the the product you get.

SPEAKER_03 31:57

I mean, yeah. I remember when I lived on El Prado, my property taxes, the the majority of them went towards schools.

SPEAKER_02 32:04

Yeah, when you look at your bill, it's it itemizes what all you're paying for, and about 80% of it is public education. And it's just look, I not that even if it worked, even if people were getting a good education from this ridiculous system, I don't have any kids, why do I gotta pay for it? It's crazy. The whole thing. I mean, public education is the biggest scam and on you know, in so long. But between insurance and public public education, I don't know which is the bigger scam. Anyway. So we're out of clips, huh?

SPEAKER_03 32:38

Uh yes, I believe so. Let me make absolutely sure. Yep, yep, that was the last one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:46

So anyway, how how much is gas up by you now?

SPEAKER_03 32:50

Yeah, the I actually was checking. I only went by one gas station today on my little errand to the bank, but it was 390 something. It was close to four dollars.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

It's a dollar more than it was before the war. Yeah. So it's up a dollar already, and it's probably gonna go up at least another dollar before it's all said and done. Yeah, I expect $5 a gallon gas for sure. So, I mean, I I you know, to me, it just seems like so obvious. We're just kind of like literally on our dying gasp of an empire here. We're almost out of money, we're almost out of ammo. You know, we're we're we're uh we're definitely losing the PR. Nobody believes our bullshit anymore. Uh our little our little vassal state that we've pretty much sacrificed everything for Israel is is not looking too popular. Anywhere anybody goes from Israel, apparently nowadays, they just get beat up or thrown in jail. Did you hear about what happened happened in Brazil with some Israelis on the beach? No. Oh, yeah. So Israel, I guess somebody went up, they were I think they were flying an Israeli flag and somebody yelled at them, uh, free Palestine, so they attacked him. Which, of course, I don't care who you are, but if you're in Brazil and you attack Brazilians, you might get in trouble. Yeah. So they got their asses kicked and then got arrested. You know, and I think it happened somewhere else, like in Italy or something like that, too. Or no, Spain. I'm sorry, it was Spain. Some Israeli tourists in Spain got their asses kicked or got arrested or had to get, you know, escorted out of somewhere because they were getting, but yeah, so I don't know, man. It seems like the whole American Empire, American Zio Empire is just on its last gasp of almost dead. But we'll see what happens. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 34:40

I mean I think we got lucky with the storm here.

SPEAKER_02 34:43

Right.

SPEAKER_03 34:43

The tree's not moving anymore. The rain stopped, you know.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

I mean, so do you see any uh any exit for us out of Iran in the near in the next couple of days, or what how do you see us getting out of Iran?

SPEAKER_03 34:55

I I don't uh I don't know. The the biggest problem is that you can bomb the fuck out of them as much as you want, you can destroy as much as you want, but if your goal is to actually affect regime change, that's not going to do that.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:08

Uh the popular uprising that that they thought maybe they could engender, that didn't happen. The Kurdish uh rebellion that they thought they could also help engender, that didn't happen. Not to mention that any concept of it being a surprise is ridiculous because it was talked about on social media before it even started to happen. So these two countries have completely different. I mean, you know, US Israel coalition is to their goal is to literally get a new government in there. The Iranian position is just to survive and keep the government that they have. It's gonna be a lot easier for them to do that than it is gonna be for us to change it.

SPEAKER_02 35:46

I I think the Iranian position is Jesus, about time. I think they've been waiting for this for a long time. First of all, they've got the some of them. Yeah. First of all, the Straits of Hormuz is closed. You know, that you do Trump can say he's gonna insure anybody he wants to try and go through there, but you ain't gonna make it through there.

SPEAKER_03 36:03

Don't do it. I think I saw something about them uh only accepting yuan there uh and letting Chinese votes through.

SPEAKER_02 36:10

So it's a big blow to the petrodollar. Could be, possibly, possibly. But yeah, I mean, it just doesn't seem like and uh to what end? How do we get out of there? I mean, what's if you know, and and supposedly Trump's and other people have reached out to the Iranians many times, like, okay, let's have a ceasefire. And the Iranians are like, nope. Yeah, we're they're yeah, they're done with that. They're not we're not done. I'm done with that. We're good. We got a lot more missiles to shoot off before we think about stopping.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

And uh and again, like you said before, with censorship and propaganda, and like I mentioned with AI footage, it's so hard to know you know what narrative is you know true, if either are. And both sides, of course, are inflating and deflating their casualties and their attacks and their successes.

SPEAKER_02 36:57

Well, from what I hear, and which which actually kind of makes sense, uh, like I think John Kerakau was reporting that uh the Iranians are really going out of their way to try to avoid civilian casualties and are really just striking military and and and infrastructure and you know, stuff that, you know, except for possibly the leaders, which may be the case of the of whatever few civilian strikes there have been. You know, I know they've taken out the president, they took out uh Netanyahu's brother. I think they took out some other high-ranking uh, you know, which is fair play. We we did it first, you know. We did it first and often, you know, in the middle of negotiating, taking out their guys. So yeah, all's fair, all's fair and love and war, guys. You know, you did it first. We're taking out your fucking guys. And I think they got not Netanyahu. I don't think Netanyahu's with us anymore, but uh again, it doesn't really matter. As long as they can keep him alive as a figurehead or whatever on AI or on digital, he can be a digital character until anybody actually figures out he's actually dead. Right. Michael Jackson still shows up in concert. So that's true. We could have uh hologram, hologram BB Netanyahu, kind of like from Star Wars, you know, just from talking from the grave. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah, that's insane. And and it's and it's all over religion. Oh, did we want to talk about that crazy shit I sent you about the scroll?

SPEAKER_03 38:21

Uh no, not on this episode. That that's gonna be a whole pick it apart, pause it as we go.

SPEAKER_02 38:27

I'll tell you what, let's just we'll lay the egg. Let's just lay the egg of what what we're talking about, and then we'll talk about it some other episode. But um, do you happen to remember the the name of that geologist guy that does a show?

SPEAKER_03 38:39

Randall Carlson.

SPEAKER_02 38:40

No, not him, the guy that the the other geologist uh that that found it, supposedly. Oh, no, I don't remember that guy. But he's the it's his show. He does a bunch of shows. He's got a bunch of uh stuff on YouTube. Um but according to this guy, and of course, this is you know, you gotta consider the source of any of this, but according to this guy, he found a scroll or uh he found something hidden that is supposedly the uh well it's it's what the Templars say was on a scroll written by Jesus. And on this scroll it says that Jesus you know, just a a slight perforation of my lower intestines wasn't enough to kill me. And uh, you know, that he he survived the crucifixion. He s lowered uh wait, he lowered his his uh his uh metabolism to make to make them think he's dead. They don't see how he does that. Then he goes to Scotland. Yes. Well, first he goes to France, then he g ends up in Scotland, and they have two children. All right, so as he's reading a lot of this stuff though, oh, and and one of the lines that I that that immediately set me into ancient alien land was that one of the lines he said is that the book of life is not a tr or no, the the tree of life is not a tree, but a book that spoke. Now, that could be allegorical or it could be literal. Could there have been some kind of technology back then where there was something that they could record and and and play back at some some level? Who knows? Anyway, but as they go on I still say who knows, but who's spoiler alert. Um but then they go on to say some other interesting stuff that like you know that Mary was sent to some I forget what they Articus or something like that they called it, but they say that translates to uh Taurus or the eye of the bull or something like that. So to the me, that means they sent her in a spaceship somewhere, but uh but who knows?

SPEAKER_03 40:41

But that guy says a lot of crazy shit. Uh and then he goes gets into like numerology and stuff at the very end, and apparently, you know, that's that Carlson uh guy.

SPEAKER_02 40:52

That's his thing, is he's way into that math and numerology thing, and yeah, he does seem to divert to that quite a bit. I I don't know about that, but I mean there's a yeah there's something to it, but at the same time, they're saying it's a universal thing. So yeah, it's universal. That's why it keeps showing up. It's universal. That's but anyway. Um but yeah, some of the stuff and and you gotta realize that we're talking about what a Templar says was on a scroll that nobody's ever seen, and you know, we don't even know if it ever existed, this, that, and the other thing. But uh yeah, it's it opens up some interesting I mean, does that mean that religion is is a farce? I mean, does that mean that Christianity is a farce because he didn't sacrifice himself on the cross, or does it or does it mean that he's even more miraculous? I mean, I don't know, you know, how does how does somebody religious interpret something like that if they consider the Bible word of the, you know, the gospel of the truth? And like, well, you know, maybe it wasn't.

SPEAKER_03 41:48

Uh John Prine has a song called Jesus, the missing years, and it immediately came to mind when they the guy was talking about, you know, Jesus going all the way to Scotland.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

Right. Well, and you know, here's the other thing when he says he lowered his uh metabolism to make him think he's dead, that's a that's uh an Eastern technique. That's in that a Hindu technique. Yeah, and that didn't and there's been uh something that's that says that between the missing years that nobody knows what happened to him before he came back and turned into Jesus. Some people say that's where he went, that he went to India and and Nepal and places like that and and and learned about mysticism and and all that kind of shit, and then came back. So that kind of could tie in, possibly. Who knows? He had 18 years to do something. Yeah. Yeah. So who knows? Who knows where he went, what he did. Well, it's not that he's the wing nut. You're thinking you're saying that the Templars are the wing nuts. I mean, he's what he's saying is this he found this stuff and this is what the Templars are saying. He's not making this stuff up. He's just saying, you know, this is what they say. It's whether you believe, but I mean, who may who says the Templars are any less of a of a you know authority on what was said or or written back then than anybody else? Who says the Templars are any less knowledgeable than the than the you know, the Vatican or or I don't know what is do do the Jews have anything called like the Vatican or a central centralized thing? I don't know. I don't think they do. Maybe not anymore. Maybe they did. I don't think the Jews have much to say about what Jesus wrote anyway. I don't think they I don't think they cared. But uh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:26

Caiaphas might have had an opinion, but most of them probably not.

SPEAKER_02 43:30

But yeah, I mean, you know, imagine I mean I imagine if you're one of those wackos that's you know waving the oh, speaking of wackos, have you seen that chick that's a spiritual advisor to Trump?

SPEAKER_03 43:44

No, but that's kind of an oxymoron.

SPEAKER_02 43:46

Oh my god, go on. Well, there's a clip of this chick. She's a sphere short blonde haired chick. She's actually fairly young. I'd say she's in her thirties or forties at the most. And dude, they've got clips of this chick, and she is out there, dude. She is, dude, Billy Graham, uh, Joel Olstein, the people that that knock people over, like, you know, waves at a time. They got nothing on this chick. Nothing. Is she one of those prosperity gospel? Uh I don't know what that is, but I I would guess yes.

SPEAKER_03 44:17

I have no idea. Those are the people they basically specialize in telling rich people that it's okay that you're rich because God made you rich, because God wants you to be rich.

SPEAKER_02 44:26

Hmm. I don't know. I've never really gotten I I haven't listened to that much to watch. Dude, the one clip that she's she's that they show of her all the time. She's literally just sitting there going, no, no, no. I mean, like for five minutes, just doing the same thing over and like yelling at something like an inadiment object. It's like, this lady's a crazy person. This lady, how could you take any advice from anything a fucking wacko like that would say, let alone?

SPEAKER_03 44:54

What Nancy Reagan had an astrologer. I think it was an astrologist.

SPEAKER_02 44:58

Dude, an astrologist makes this chick look, you know, an astrologist is like a scientific technician compared to this crazy chick that Trump was listening to, apparently. She's and she's there's pictures of her in the in the White House, you know, when they do the thing where they're all praying, and she's right there. She's one of the first ones with her hands on him. Yeah, it's a good gig if you can get it. Yeah, yeah, I know shit.

SPEAKER_05 45:22

Oh rescued in the flesh.

SPEAKER_02 45:24

Yeah, it's it's insane. Oh shit. All right, we're gonna get out of here. I'll I can see you looking more out of the window. Yeah, it's rumbling. Bring down the top sail. Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere. If you got any uh got any tips for uh Uncle Ron Dr. Dr. Bob in the in the storm, call give us a call at nine oh four five four nine nine oh two four and tell them uh how to how to stay away from lightning.

SPEAKER_03 45:54
