Welcome to US Phenomenon, where possibilities are endless. Put down those same old headlines. It's time to expand your mind and question what if? From paranormal activity to UFOs, bigfoot sightings and unsolved mysteries, this is US Phenomenon?
Speaker 2:From the Pacific Northwest in the shadow of the 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle. Good evening, good morning, good afternoon. Wherever you are on God's green earth, this is US Phenomenon and I am your host, mario Magana. Tonight we will uncover and go into the 10 greatest conspiracies of all time. Tonight we will cover these and we'll kind of break them down a little bit. Plus, we're going to chat a little bit about the distraction, what I believe is a distraction right now, and what is really going on. Why, as we know in past days and weeks, now that there was a spat between Donald Trump I don't even want to say it, I would say Donald Trump's really not fighting back or like poking back. I would say that Elon has thrown some really big haymakers out there to get people's attention, makers out there to get people's attention. Now is this one of those wwe moments where it's like scripted. Are we seeing something that is scripted and that they want us to be distracted by that spat when other things are going on? Because that's how I look at it is what's the real distraction here? What is the government really doing? Is there a shadow government moving right now? Is there things going into place? I mean we know in past days and whatnot in week, that there have been things that have been going on, but it's all been in the headlines. It's the, it's the other stuff that we aren't seeing that we should be looking for. And and when you talk about this spat, it really is just. You know, and for those who may not know, that you know elon has thrown some haymakers.
Speaker 2:Allegedly um lee Donald Trump was in the Epstein files and that's why it's not released. I don't think that's the case. I don't. The reason why the files aren't released is that the United States as a country isn't ready for what is behind those documents and how many powerful people are in those documents, and that's why it's not been released. This country would be in shambles. I believe that if the alleged manuscript or list, manifest list was released, people would lose their mind. But it doesn't mean that they're tied to epstein, or maybe it is. I mean there is video of younger president donald trump hanging out with epstein during a taping of a network tv show of some sort, but it was at a party. I mean it wasn't. It was at a party that wasn't on the Island. So there are going to be, you know, and that one, I believe, was in the early late nineties, I'm not sure, somewhere in that, but still you see a younger president, soon to be president, or you see a younger Donald Trump hanging out with Epstein, but that doesn't mean that he's tied to you. Know Epstein in that type of way why?
Speaker 2:You see someone who I think is throwing a huge tantrum, who is very wealthy and is normally used to getting his way, has now been pushed out by the inner circle and you just see someone throwing haymakers out there, throwing bombs to see if they stick. And I mean, everyone loves a good catfight and everyone loves a good. But I love how the president's like hey, look, and even JD Vance has said the same thing in a recent podcast Like, look, you know, I hope that he gets his stuff together. And now reports are coming out that he probably wasn't in the right mind frame, you know, and and that could be the case too you know working as many hours as he possibly was. And, um, you're not seeing someone maybe who, like the president of the United States, who has the endurance, who, even as a businessman, has always been in that space where he sticks to his regimen, who knows, when you have someone like Elon Musk trying to run multiple businesses and trying to look through the federal government work with individuals, it's a tough task. It's a tall task to uphold Now the shade that he's throwing out there. You know, you see that you see him throwing these haymakers, and even Donald Trump's like hey man, you know, I don't think that you're going to see elon back in the inner circle anytime soon and I I kind of feel like we're seeing like stuff being kind of slowly pushed away. And you know you're, you're seeing that as we all have made those and maybe not everyone, because not everyone's on social media have made those social media posts where we regret them and then later delete them.
Speaker 2:I mean it really shows signs of a, a grown adult with a lot of power and a lot of money throwing a tantrum Must. That is. And he's not going to win against the president. You know, and there are reports out there that the president stated hey, if you go against us, you know you will pay, and I believe it. I mean the president is going to make sure us you know you will pay and I believe it. I mean the president is going to make sure that you know. If that's what you're going to try to do. You know I think it was in a headline Trump says Musk will face serious consequences if he funds Democrats. So that's interesting. That's a huge, huge thing. So I believe that the president and the inner circle are definitely taking the high road in regards to what they're putting out there.
Speaker 2:Very strategic, I believe that Elon Musk is a grown child throwing of tantrum. So hopefully this will be and maybe this is not even a real thing and maybe it is a distraction. You know what is really going on out there. That's. Every time something like this happens I'm like what's the distraction? Like what's going on? Why? Why, you know? Or could it just be just that, um, a grown man throwing a big, big, big big tantrum? If you'd like to weigh in, you can send your text 775-990-5151. Let's go to the text line and see what's out there.
Speaker 2:Hey, mario Mario Frank, here from Ocean Shores, where the waves roll in but the distractions never stop. This whole Elon versus Trump showdown feels like smoke and mirrors as well as orchestrated spectacle to keep people fixated on the drama instead of the real power moves happening behind the scenes. I have to agree with you on that piece While everyone's busy debating egos, what's slipping through the cracks? Policies, financial shifts, deeper global agendas. Maybe in time we will stop watching the distraction and start following the money. Keep digging, mario, because somebody has to let me know what you find. Uh, thanks, frank's from ocean shores. Yeah, it will be interesting.
Speaker 2:And I have to say that social media there's definitely a lot of stuff out there that is misinformation. You really got to dig through some of the stuff, man. I really wish that you know, and we should have him back on here soon. Just the take of what William Cooper would say, and I'm 100% that he would say that this is a huge distraction. Uh, let's continue. Going to the text line. Um, hey, mario, it's holly tuning in from victoria bc. I'm assuming you're listening to us on our flagship station, kvi. Uh, thanks, holly for uh listening to us. Uh, here in. Uh from victoria. That's awesome. Everyone's caught up on the spectacle. But let's be real, elon playing the long game here, it's not just about winning the argument, it's about the influence, the control, the positioning himself as an ultimate power broker.
Speaker 2:Ooh very good. Take on this as an ultimate power broker. Ooh, very good. Take on this. Whether political, tech or global market, he's making moves that goes way beyond this. So-called feud People think it's about ego, but it's about leverage. Keep pulling the threads, mario. Something bigger is unraveling. Thank you, holly. Uh, great text messages. Thanks for uh chiming in there. If you'd like to send your text message or you have a show idea, send them to me. Uh, 775-990-5151. I get each and every one of those text messages. You know, as we get ready to talk about the biggest conspiracies of all time.
Speaker 2:Think about this. I mean, when you think of conspiracies and whatnot you think of like there's a ton of them, but we're going to break them down. Obviously, everyone. My favorite one is probably the jfk assassination. With the recent uh in recent months, with the release of more files of the jfk assassination and really to me it doesn't say who did it, but what was going on, what was transpiring during those time periods. Clearly the CIA was in heavy operations with the Cuban doing the whole Cuban Bay of Pigs stuff. So you don't really see more information, you're just getting more. I don't want to. It is information, but to me it feels diluted, like it's not getting to the meat and potatoes of the conspiracy.
Speaker 2:Why did Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald? Now, if we were just to break this down and say there is no conspiracy, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, shot the president of the United States, lee Harvey Oswald then was arrested, then was being transported and then was gunned down by mobster Jack Ruby. And why was Jack Ruby in that area at that same time? And why was Jack Ruby in that area at that same time? You know, we knew that he had connections with the police agencies because of him owning these nightclubs, them coming there, so he was familiar with those individuals giving him access to the area where Lee Harvey Oswald was being transported and then him being shot. The minute he was shot, gunned down and died, that's when the that's when conspiracy just ramped to. You know, you know like tenfold.
Speaker 2:So at that point everyone's like oh yeah, this is, this is an inside job, what, what's going? What's really going on? And if for, for example, if someone from the inside want to get rid of, wanted to get rid of the president of the united states, they would have done that. I just don't think that it was an inside job. But could it have been if you were to point the fingers back at anyone, if you looked at this big scope of what had happened and what transpired was the mob upset with president Kennedy and his brother Because his brother was the acting attorney general and then was going after the mob, where the mob had placed a lot of money into this campaign for the two to be elected. So the mob looking for that influential piece to say, hey, you scratch our backs, we scratch yours.
Speaker 2:Or simply was this just that A deranged lunatic who had served the country had gone astray, shot, gunned down and assassinated a president, a sitting president assassinated a president, a sitting president, from a perch at the book uh, book depository in dallas, texas. Just an unfortunate situation. And you probably will never see a motorcade where the president's sitting there as a you know sitting, you know kind of as target practice. You won't see that and all the precautions are taken nowadays to protect the president so that he's not put in harm's way in any shape, you know nowadays. So that's, I really believe that we just we're not seeing enough information coming out from these re-released files.
Speaker 2:So that being very disappointing, they were like man, there's no good, as the kids would say, there's no good tea in that. There's no good gossip in regards, or good information in regards to that, as we continue sharing the top conspiracies of all time. What's yours? 775-990-5151. We'll get to the text line with your favorite conspiracies of all time, the moon landing being an interesting one to me. There are so much misinformation now that is available on all social platforms, at least the, the heavy hitters. Right now.
Speaker 2:You're not seeing that so much on like a instagram or, um, like a facebook, but you're well you might, but you're seeing more of this on the tiktok and if you're doom scrolling on a tiktok I, you're definitely seeing some of that and there were a lot of individuals that would have to have been a part to do this moon landing hoax, the Apollo 11 mission. You're talking about all the ground crew that had to be a part of that to to make sure that every, each and every one of those individuals who sat at a position at at the space center in nasa, who are either engineers, technicians everyone moving to you know their little piece of the cog to make this work. If that is the case, the they did a damn good job. Um, if you're, if you're, a believer of the moon landing being a hoax, that that's fine. It's just, I look at it this way and this is why this conspiracy really seems to be had pulled a lot of traction from it. Look, we haven't gone back to the moon, so there's a whole couple generations of individuals, there's a full, you know, generation and a half that are like we went to the moon with self, with powers. Let you know, your iphone and your, your cell phone have more power than you know. The, the lunar landing uh module, uh, had in its you know capsule is. You look back and you're like, wow, how did we do that? And everything was very much science-based and how they approached it and how they got there. Right, look, no one else is going to the moon.
Speaker 2:The only reason why we went to the moon was because we were getting spanked in this space war by russia and, and that was not going to happen, the united states was like we need to go to the moon, we need to go to the moon and, and so that was the tall task. They got there and nobody's no one's gone back, and I believe it's because it's not in the interest of these other foreign entities to get there. It is they're working on other entities to either go to Mars or to do other things that may not be in the best interest of the United States. So I believe that that's why you see that conspiracy taking off on levels that were just you know. You're like, oh, yeah, I mean yeah, they could have filmed that in a back lot somewhere, you know, um, I don't think that would be the case. Maybe there were um simulations so that they could pretend like they were landing on the moon when they got there, but I I don't. I find it really hard to believe that you got that many individuals to, to, to be quiet. You know the participants during who worked at nasa and maybe, maybe that may be the case, but I mean, we're talking hundreds of individuals that had to lie to their families. It's not like they were signing NDAs back then, or maybe they were and we just don't know. You know, was that a thing you know, like back in the day when Reagan talked about the Star Wars situation where we were going to build this thing? Was that the same case here, where the government was like we need a full and let's do some massive marketing to say that we went to the moon and and let's orchestrate this and and collabo with nasa to um, do a collaboration with nasa to to achieve this goal, to land on them, pretend like we landed on the moon. I don't know. I just don't see that as a thing all right.
Speaker 2:Uh, as we continue moving through these conspiracies, I think one that really throws me off is it's probably when we start talking about some of the other conspiracies that seem to have happened, like the. Oh, the Roswell UFO crash is one too. But you know what's interesting to me about the Roswell UFO crash and the Maury Island incident, here, off of Maury Island, which is next to Vashon Now, that one doesn't get talked about as much unless you're from the Pacific Northwest, an enthusiast of UFOs, or UAPs as they call them now, and this is why you see me always say that the Pacific Northwest is the home of the most paranormal activity or another entity to you know, maybe McDonnell Douglas or one of the other manufacturers to build these, you know, spaceships or unmanned we'll call them developmental projects, dark projects, developmental projects, dark projects. And this is why there was an incident by Roswell and here near, or the incident on Maury Island. And what's interesting, when we talk about those two pieces, you know you have the UFO sightings prior to the Roswell incident. We're talking about the incident that happened near Mount Rainier, when Kenneth Arnold saw and reported the UFOs as flying saucers from his viewpoint near Mount Rainier. Now, then, in later weeks, there was the Maury Island incident, which then triggered J Edgar Hoover to send these gentlemen with glasses and black suits to the area, this nicknaming them the Men in Black. So, and then after that incident and I believe it's within weeks, they're very close together was the Roswell crash.
Speaker 2:Now, if these extraterrestrials were coming to Earth during that time period, where were they coming from? And the technology if that was the case, of them having this crash site with them, finding advanced technology, the bodies of these individuals? Did the United States work with these extraterrestrials to either retrieve the bodies of these ets to give them back to their, to their, their you know counterparts, and what technology did we learn and gain from this? It's very interesting to me on how advanced we have become as a nation and as a world because of this technology. Now, during the 1947s, during the Cold War days, we weren't sharing much with anybody, right, it was all about what was in it for us. But for our protection as a country, a country, we weren't sharing this information with others. Heck, no so. Were they lending and giving the same technology to other countries, or were we the only ones who were able to grab such information, reverse, engineer and make some of the most advanced stealth, like technologies, with the advanced composites that are available now, that were designed back in those days? Think about that. How fast we really, from the 1900s up to 47, plus then from 47 up to now, on what the technology has really just moved at a rapid pace and now that most of our cell phones have more power than the space shuttle did back in the day, it's amazing on how that works and how fast we rapidly had grown as a society, as a species, very intriguing to me.
Speaker 2:So I would say that, the moon landing being a hoax, the JFK assassination, we didn't talk about this one. We were talking about the Roswell crash, where everyone I mean you think about it, you have an area that is blocked off and we'll go back to the other conspiracies the 9-11, we'll get into that shortly. But the Roswell UFO crash, when you talk about where you have an area in Roswell that is where the crash has taken place, and then this stuff has been transported to an area called Area 51. And, for sure, when you block off an area that no one can go to and it's very secret, I mean it is it just smells and reeks of conspiracy. Baby, you just think about it. You're like, hmm, what's really behind the curtain there? And it could be, and it could just be an area. That is what we would call a place for test beds, for secret military ops planes, unmanned drones, things of that nature, and this might be the test bed for that. We just don't know, because we'll never know what's behind the curtains at area 51.
Speaker 2:But I believe that if this is the case, where the ufo crash at roswell, did they really land? Didn't? Did aliens really land here, and did they take those bodies and that flying saucers, ufos, uap to Area 51 to reverse engineer what they had found? Because think about it, if we could reverse engineer all that stuff, the possibilities of technology and advancements, leaps and bounds of what we were doing back in the 1940s on tremendous levels. And and so I think one of the conspiracies that has been uh, I don't want to say gaining traction, but gaining momentum in recent days has been the 9-11 conspiracy of being an inside job. What really happened, as we know, what happened on that faithful day during 9-11, but people coming back right now on social media platforms on multiple levels are are sharing their thoughts about being an inside job. Now, man, that would be devastating on on multiple levels if this is the case now.
Speaker 2:Now there are some conspiracies that I'm like pretty skeptic about, and others I try not to be, and this might be one of those where I kind of leave it to the individual you can believe what you want to believe, but it's tough. I mean, we all know that. You know thousands of people died. You know men and women who were rescue first responders that passed away on that tragic day, on 9-11. It just was a no-win situation. But the you know, make no mistake if. If that was the case, um, this being inside job, I think that if it was, I mean, you're going to find out very shortly, soon, you will find out that this was not that. If it was an inside job, believe me, the administration will release that information. They're not going to hold back. I promise you that, not this administration. All right, this administration will not hold back on something like that. This administration will not hold back on something like that.
Speaker 2:And I know where everyone is talking about in these different conspiracies about how the buildings came down. Look, I'm no structural engineer and I'm not going to pretend to be one, but what I saw that day was tragic. It did look like it was an implosion, but I I believe that the weight and structure had failed itself and that's why you just saw windows being popped out and just the stress. The things that we saw with our own eyes were were tragic people. You know, having to make a decision on either staying in the building or having to jump out the window for rescue oh that's terrible.
Speaker 2:And you know we have, in past shows have had guests who have come on to share their first eyewitness encounters and how tragic that day was, and that they have been a part of the 9-11 trials and what they saw that day will live in their minds forever. You can't unpaint what you saw that day, including if it was on TV, and there is a ton of stuff that is being released right now about this being some type of inside job, a new documentary about another plane. Where do those people go? It's just, it is a very tragic situation, obviously 9-11 not being something, um, that we all saw coming. You know we did. It was the modern day pearl harbor. For those who were not around for that, that's what that is. It felt like a very much a modern day pearl harbor.
Speaker 2:You know we always say pre-9-11, post-9-11. You know, remember going to the airport and seeing your loved ones off to their plane and walking them to their gate ramp, you know, maybe going through security checkpoint and then you walk back. Those days, you know, are clearly long gone because we're talking you know that was such a long time ago Is the government holding secrets back? Everyone loves this conspiracy and this is one that we'll talk about here shortly. We'll talk about the Rutilian Birds aren't real, we'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 2:But the one that kind of sparks my interest is the Denver Airport being a hidden symbol for the underground Illuminati. Now, if you're a huge conspiracy theorist and you don't believe and you always question everything, and this one throws me off and I would say that the Denver Airport, international Airport, to me, if it's you know's what they say it is being, on multiple levels, a hidden symbol for the Illuminati, the Masons. You see a lot of things that would portray this. These emblems hidden all over the airport Kind of freak people out. And why would there be underground bunkers? Is there a city that lives underneath the city? Is there a secret society running things underneath this airport?
Speaker 2:Why would the airport need hidden tunnels? Are the hidden tunnels to efficiently run things, to get baggages across places? Is it so that workers can commute and not be on the tarmac? I mean, these are things that aren't talked about and why people are very suspicious about.
Speaker 2:And these tunnels, you know, are underneath and obviously there's trains running through some of these to get the, you know, to get people to and from areas, but behind those trains are, you know, automatic, automatic baggage systems. But, of course, this is why people think that there are, you know, bunkers, secret bunkers that are down there, and could this be, could it contain the illuminati's headquarters, in addition to you know, some of the dna, uh, just some of the stuff that is going around and and why people think that this is a place of conspiracy. You know, the giant horse for those who may have not been out, there is a node to the four horsemen in the uh apocalypse. Uh, the mustang that's at the uh airport, the blue one with the red eye, um, was a sculpture. Uh, some of the artwork also has provided clues about the end of the world, which is interesting to me, and why this would be.
Speaker 2:Uh, why would they have this at an airport? You know, why would they put these? What? You know, what was the concept behind that and why were they so fixated on end times? If that's the case, you know, with these murals and whatnot, so, um, always a fun conspiracy to to look at and to talk about, because, with there being so much out there, you know you start to see these things, you start to look. If you're in the Denver airport next time, let me know what you think.
Speaker 2:Tell me, I have not been to the Denver airport for so much time nor did I pay attention to what was going on.
Speaker 2:When I was there. I just went to my destination. I think is really what happened, okay. Uh, let's keep things moving along. Um, now this one's interesting to me the do you?
Speaker 2:For those that think or believe that the pandemic was engineered, there had been conspiracies going around during the pandemic the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic that this was something that was a COVID-19 plus a 5G push, a COVID-19 plus a 5G push. There were a lot of individuals that believed that there was this huge thing, that and during the time, there was a phobia about the 5G piece. Those of us who weren't educated started to believe the theories by tens of thousands, uh, that were being established of this um conspiracy, of the correlation of this virus and 5g to distribute, for distribution of it or to activate said virus. Having the density of these 5G towers suggested there's a casual relationship, them, and then the theory promoting by those that were distributing this misinformation about the virus. Um, look, believe what you want to believe. I just didn't see that 5G and COVID were two things that were tied together. But, yes, there was that conspiracy, but there was also the conspiracy of COVID-19 and it being manufactured in Wuhan, things of that nature. Now believe what you want to believe. I will say that there were a lot of people that died from the pandemic with this virus and man.
Speaker 2:Those were some rough times. It was just not fun at all, scary to see thousands of people. Just interesting too, to be someone who had been working during the pandemic, where a lot of people were working from home. That wasn't really the case for a small portion of us who had either been working for an entity like media, uh, or the backbone for media, broadcast engineers, things of that nature. We still went in, we were, we were protected by either wearing masks, but we weren't. It was just like one of those situations where you went to work, you came home, it was very strange uh times. I mean we, we all right, I mean, the roads were empty back in those days. It was like a ghost town, I mean, and that wasn't that long ago was a different time for sure. Just very interesting, very eerie. You know, as as if you've never read the book, behold the pale horse. You, you read some of these things that are in there, um, of what william cooper wrote about. You know, different times, why these entities were built.
Speaker 2:You know what powers that they had um why the interstate roads were in, you know, were connected, it just just a different time. And boy it did sure feel like we were in end times. And hey, let's just be honest, if COVID-19 was a real thing and the and the planet was really upset with us. Man, the planet was very upset with us and said you know what we need to humble these individuals, to wipe them off either completely gone and extinct the human race, or quickly, as a species, we quickly adapted to fix a virus that was rapidly taking over individuals' lives and unfortunately, many people had died from COVID. Very, very tough times during that pandemic and I didn't really see so much of the 5G piece on the social or the booming of TikTok. I didn't really see that one in it. It just has been within the last um, I think after post, uh, you know the pandemic where the different variants where this, uh, this conspiracy had taken place.

Seven, seven, five, nine, nine, zero five one five one.
Speaker 2:Now Getting back to these different conspiracies. I've heard this one, but what's interesting to me is, you know, what you didn't see is that in recent days, one of the biggest conspiracies that has been really posting up is birds aren't real, they're strategic and they are a part of government surveillance. So those that are out there that believe that these are like tactical surveillance pieces we're talking like like where are they going, these pigeons? Uh, these birds. How interesting would that be if these birds were, um, not real? Now, if you ask me, you don't. Really you didn't, and I think the conspiracy really took off was that you didn't really see a lot of pigeons out during that time frame, but you didn't see a lot of humans either, and that's what makes this conspiracy take flight. Why would individuals be subscribing to this theory of the birds not being real? I mean, there have been pigeons that have been found dead on streets or hit by vehicles.
Speaker 2:I just this one threw me off, this one threw me for a loop, not because I don't believe it, I just I didn't really see it. And I think it's just because you know that during that time, none of us saw that. And, of course, you know what people are saying that the birds aren't real. They're actually. You know, government surveillance drones is what they would say which you know are keeping an eye on us individuals. An eye on us individuals. Certainly, this conspiracy has taken traction because of social media, but this is what we call misinformation Trending, because of the misinformation coming from these different social media entities and a younger generation, uh, being skeptical towards this type of information. Even, you know, even us at an older, when we start to see this stuff multiple times, you're like, oh, this has got to be real. You know, I mean, for example, my aging, you know dad will sit and scroll on social and listen to these videos. That's not real news and listen to these videos.
Speaker 2:That's not real news. There might be news agencies that are reporting, but those are far and few in between all the other misinformation or information that is being disseminated on these social platforms. You want a good conspiracy. I believe that social media is a social experiment on the human race the endorphins. This is like the new cigarettes of of of addiction. Think of how much time people spend doom scrolling or what they call doom scrolling for those who don't do this where they just sit on for hours on end just looking through their social media pages and looking to see what's out there and you get high off of that. You get a fix, just like you take that drag from a cigarette Posting and having people like your comments and things of that nature. It feels good. You get this euphoric high and then you want another hit. They know that these reports have come out on why they were hushing, why they didn't want younger, why they did not want individuals to know that it was not good for the younger kids and the developmental piece of the brain. If you have kids, please, please, please, keep them off social media, not because of the addiction piece, and let their brains grow.
Speaker 2:And it's hard. I mean we've done a pretty good job on raising our daughter, who now has some social media platform, but not all of them. It is difficult, you know, when you're navigating in a modern world where you have this little phone that has the availability to connect to anything. But for those of us who have grown up without them, to have that peace, they're going to be the generation that grew up with them. We can grow up, and we grew up without them and then having them and then learning to use these social media platforms, from MySpace online to eventually having these entities on our phone, at our fingertips, I mean in our palm of our hands. I mean because we really still had them at our fingertips, I mean in our palm of our hands. I mean because we really still had them at our fingertips when we're sitting here at our computers looking through our Facebook pages and these different bulletin boards and things of that nature. It was definitely different.
Speaker 2:So I always recommend, from my point of view, if you have kids or grandkids, go get the kids outside. I mean it's beautiful, weather's been fantastic, it's summertime. Kids are mostly out of school now. If they're not, they're almost done, just enjoy, go, take, take them for a drive on the weekend and interact and do something fun. I mean, life's too short.
Speaker 2:Clearly you can't go to a lot of our national parks at this point in time, and not because of um, these are all all natural, uh reasons that you can't go to the, to the some of the national parks you can go to. But if you're trying to go to, like mount rainier, you're definitely you're gonna have to, you know, do your research on that. And same with mount st helens. You cannot get to mount st helens and johnson's observatory Observatory due to the road being gone, which is super unfortunate. What a beautiful drive. If you ever get to do it, you can also drive the backside and go to Ape Cave and you can go the backside of Mount St Helens and be a part of that piece where you can go to Ape Cave and kind of drive along those routes. But remember when you're out there.
Speaker 2:You're in Bigfoot country, so you know the rules. You're not supposed to shoot them and you're not even supposed to harass them if you do see them. I guess that's a law here too as well. I did not know that. I think I've seen that in recent days. Now, do you believe that any of these conspiracies are real? You know, send me a text, let me know. I know we're getting close to ending things here from the pacific northwest, but uh, our, you know time getting close to the end here and and I I guess one of the latest conspiracies is the dead internet theory. Is AI controlling the online content? Now, do you believe that?
Speaker 2:Are you able to find what you need? Are you finding what is available to you? Are you looking? Have you had that opportunity to search for something and you didn't find it? Do you feel like AI is controlling that? This is a new conspiracy to me. I mean, I've gone and searched on AI stuff but I haven't found anything to be that I was like, oh yeah, I haven't really spent that much time and I don't think a lot of us are sitting at a computer looking and using them. I think most of us are on our phones.
Speaker 2:Do you feel like you're feeling like the government is controlling or AI is controlling what's being pushed out there as a narrative? Do you feel like you're being controlled right now? And for some of us right now, or for some of you out there, maybe you feel like that. Maybe you feel like we are in end times. Are you prepared? Do you have everything you need? Do you feel like we're a prosperous country? Do you feel like that we're in a disarray? Do you feel like we're in a simulation? What do you feel? Are you like me, who is enjoying every day Now, every day that I have to just enjoy what's out here, what's available, the fresh air.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's not fresh for all of us, but that ocean air if you're down there at ocean shores, maybe that, maybe if you're taking a drive up to clee ellum or, uh, you're in duval for duval days that just recently happened that that pine, that smell of the woods god, I love that smell. I mean you just can't get enough of it. That fresh air smell, the ocean mist If you're over there by the ocean, or if you're by the lake, the chirping of the birds listening to the wind howl through the trees and the leaves Something special about that this time of year. So if you have an opportunity to go somewhere, go do it. If you can get up to hurricane ridge fantastic place to go and spend your money. Go spend your money in some of these local establishments in port angeles some great stuff. Go see. Go see tom seawood out there at the bigfoot museum over there. Go over there and check him out. Go hang out and see what he's got cooking on. Go get yourself a t-shirt. Go see your buddy over there.
Speaker 2:Maybe you're out in Orting, you're heading towards Mount Rainier. You can't really go there, but maybe you're going to go and do a, maybe you're going to drive the backside or something like that. Go to one of these small towns. Go eat in these small towns. Go get a burger from a small town, ordin. There's some great stuff out there. People need it, people love it. Go support these local businesses that are out here. They're time to shine, because during the winter times it's gloomy. You've got those doom and gloom days and, hey, if you're heading up to leavenworth, that drive on highway 2.
Speaker 2:Now here's a little secret that I'm going to pass along to you. There's a bakery in salton called the salton bakery, and they pay me nothing for this. But if you're looking for the best breakfast sandwich, homemade breakfast sandwich, I kid you not, and I'm going to blow this up, they have the best breakfast sandwich made on fresh white bread. Now, the key is, the breakfast sandwich is just a breakfast sandwich, but because it's made on fresh, fresh white bread, it is fantastic. I kid you not. Stop, get yourself a breakfast sandwich and it gives me that, maybe that nostalgic breakfast, old school breakfast sandwich that your mom or your pa would make back in the day, on the bread and they don't toast it, it's white. You can have it toasted, but I don't. Let me tell you, this breakfast sandwich is chef's kiss, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Okay.
Speaker 2:So if you're heading that way, there's a spot there. And I guess now as you head up to Leavenworth, if you're driving on Highway 2, you see that big statue of Bigfoot. I guess there's now commerce there and there's the diner. If you continue going almost up to the Wenatchee Lake Wenatchee, there's that diner. That's on the right-hand side before you take the left into the campgrounds of Lake Wenatchee. Up there, just go spend some money in these diners and some of these establishments, even if you just stop by to stretch your legs. Because I mean, really, let's be honest, are you in a rush to get to Leavenworth? I mean you could be, because a brat and a beer would sound really nice right about now, or maybe you're driving home, whatever the case may be, but definitely stop at those spots, hit those commerce. Even when you're on your way out of Leavenworth there's always that one. As you're leaving, there's like a quick spot to grab like a little commerce, a grocery store or something like that. Stop there.
Speaker 2:Spend your money. Your money's always greener. It helps these guys. All right, that's our time.
