147 What Happens When Memes Meet The Monroe Doctrine

Gene and Ben Season 2026 Episode 147

The news didn’t just move fast—it zigzagged. We kick off with an unfiltered look at how Greenland became a very real piece on the policy chessboard, why Europeans bristled, and what “state vs. country” means when NATO and the EU blur lines. From there we head south, breaking down a surgical operation in Venezuela that combined electronic warfare, runway denial, and precision timing to remove a regime figure in hours. The follow-up tanker seizure, a mid‑route flag change, and whispers of a sub escort raise a bigger question: what was so valuable on that ship?

We zoom out to the lessons modern conflicts keep teaching—drones eating billion‑dollar air power, intelligence networks deciding tempo, and why small, decisive actions can end stalemates faster than years of trench attrition. Then comes Iran: nationwide internet cutoffs, police siding with crowds, and a cultural turn that could reshape the region if the regime falls. The stakes are bigger than headlines—funding for proxies, energy risk, and whether authoritarian momentum can be reversed when people stop being afraid.

Back home, Minnesota turns into a stress test for law, training, and narrative. We walk through the viral ICE‑adjacent shooting frame by frame—tire angle, wheel spin on ice, officer displacement, and the moment shots were fired. Legally justified doesn’t mean optimal; earlier less‑lethal might have saved a life. Alongside that, we dig into daycare and medical fraud patterns, the Hilton franchise blacklisting after refusing federal rates, and a renewed push to bar dual‑citizen lawmakers. It’s all one theme: does authority match accountability?

We wind down with human performance and maker culture: fasting that hits harder with age, insulin nudges to manage stubborn glucose, and a quick tour of DIY suppressors—Form 1 pathways, modular builds, and what modern 3D printers can actually deliver. If you like geopolitics with receipts, police tactics without slogans, and tech you can hold in your hand, you’ll feel right at home.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, howdy, Ben. How are you today? I'm doing good, Gene. Better than I deserve in a lot of ways. Well, I always deserve as good as I feel. You know. So I I was informed of a potential project on Monday. Okay. Finally had a meeting Wednesday because I went to the specialist Tuesday to go over what we wanted to write and how we wanted to write it. And we are turning in this first phase proposal tomorrow. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04:

So you've been busy working.

SPEAKER_00:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04:

Gotcha. So be busy than bored, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. I know I I had to tell you that there's there was a shooting in Minneapolis yesterday that you weren't aware of.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I I I've caught up since, but no, I was not aware at the time.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, so clear that's why I figured it's like, man, Ben's gotta be pretty damn busy. Well, I've been I've been having a little too much fun on X. I swear to God, it it's it's worse than drugs. Because I I got up at about I don't know, 6 a.m. or so with the intention of just getting some updates and seeing what's happened since last night.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, no, there was no trolling involved.

SPEAKER_04:

No intention of it.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I could not get off X until about 2 p.m. I just sat there from 6 a.m. till 2 p.m. Probably sent about 300 messages correcting people. You know, as there was a lot of erroneous information going around.

SPEAKER_00:

The what? The awful that got shot. The awful, what do you mean? Yeah, it's the acronym. For what? Feminist something liberal white woman. Awful.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, gotcha, gotcha. Uh, we can. I mean, I've mostly been talking about Greenland myself. And man, Europeans are so fun to troll. Dude, Greenland.

SPEAKER_00:

The the the Greenland, Greenland's prime minister's reaction to Denmark's statements was the best.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, really? Oh, I haven't seen that message. But I've I've been talking to about five Danish people that all keep sending me things like charts of the of the World Happiness Index and the Freedom Index and how great the Freedom Index in there. I said, All right, all right. Well, let's see you post a picture of Mohammed and tell me how free you are.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, trolling European, it's it's it's been a it's been a what you ought to do.

SPEAKER_00:

What do you ought what you ought to do? I'm probably banned from demo. Yeah. With a picture of Mohammed and say, dare you to repost this or reply again. Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_04:

Exactly. Well, I did reply to him with a video of our our likely next president dancing in the street. Which JD? Yeah, JD. I uh I I sent it to our group thing as well, so you should see it. But oh man, it is it is freaking funny. And then you you find out all kinds of things. Like, did you know that the entirety of the state of Denmark is six million people? I mean, that's like a mid-sized city in Texas, right? Did you know that their army has 54 tanks? I Texas has more tanks than that. I understand more tanks than that. I'm not counting Fort Hood. I'm talking about in private ownership, Texas has more tanks than that.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh god, yes, easily.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, there are a lot of tank collectors that live in Texas. And it is just it's funny for what passes for a country in Europe. But that's I I refuse to call these places countries. They're at best they're states, they're really just city states. Yeah. The little little tiny groups that think that they're par with real countries in the world.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. So here here's the thing Greenland, we can pay off the Danes.

SPEAKER_04:

You know, we don't need to pay the Danes, we just need to pay the Greenlanders. And they take a vote and we enforce their vote. That's it. We're done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, no old European countries in this hemisphere.

SPEAKER_00:

That was a law. Denmark, Denmark, you know, basically told our State Department, fuck off. We're not even talking about this anymore. Yeah. And the you know, Greenland's prime minister got a little pissy, like, hey, don't speak for us.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, now there is some kind of a document from 1948 in Greenland where they did vote for some level of independence or something, which I think is gonna be the key to us basically saying, hey, every every citizen of Greenland is now a millionaire. Yeah. As soon as they vote to referendum themselves into being a state for us, or at least territory.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, and the thing is, that wouldn't cost hardly anything because it's all people.

SPEAKER_04:

It would cost us roughly what we've paid Israel last year.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, like 50 billion.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it it's a non it's a non, you know. Dude, Israel could pay everybody in Greenland and then grab it if they're smart. Like beat the US to it. Let's create a northern territory of Israel. It is it is hilarious though, of all the the the little Europeans pushing back on this, and and it's like, you know, Europe will stand united. Okay, all right. Well you keep standing. We'll just go ahead over here and we'll take our Greenland and you keep standing where you're standing. That's fine. And then if they if if the Greenlanders take a vote, dude, and the US is pledging to enforce it, any attack on Greenland will trigger a NATO Article V response. Well, that's the way it works. That's the way the rules are written. I read them today. Read the rules today, man.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, but if we attack Denmark, the same thing.

SPEAKER_04:

We're not gonna attack Denmark. We're going to ensure that the citizens of Greenland's vote is going to be upheld. We believe in independence for all countries, including Ukraine, right? We're not gonna we're not gonna let some country that decides to throw their shackles off of their European slave owners. We're not gonna let them be bullied into submission. No. No. European power has no control in this hemisphere. And guess which hemisphere Greenland's in. Oh, I understand.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm hey, I've been the one on the Neo Monroe Doctrine kick for a very long time, thank you. Before the national security uh stuff went out and all that, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

So and once we get done with Greenland, we'll take Alaska too. And you know what? We may have to pay a few bucks to get those. When you say Alaska, but Russia's not gonna keep Alaska for long.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm telling you right now.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I'm telling you, I can see us forcing the Canadians to recognize when you know. Oh, I've got the best plan for that, dude.

SPEAKER_04:

When Alberta was we're gonna trade Alberta for Minnesota. It's a win-win for us, and fuck Canada.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, sure. I'm fine with that.

SPEAKER_04:

Everybody's fine with it. I think even the Minnesotans are fine with it. They would prefer to have a premier rather than a president.

SPEAKER_00:

A premier is uh more akin to a governor, but okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Let the premier of Canada.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, they like that kind of thing.

SPEAKER_04:

Same thing. Yeah, it's just the communist version's called a premier, usually, not a prime minister.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, that was two levels of illusion. But my point being that I think that there's gonna be a little bit of reckoning here. Did you see France's premier's message?

SPEAKER_00:

No.

SPEAKER_04:

No. He said that it's time for new alliances to be built.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I mean, I think NATO's done, but I've been saying that for a while. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think we have any interest in being in there, and the Europeans want to act like they really don't need us and they don't like us.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, they've never liked us. They've certainly needed us and still do, but they've never liked us. Yeah, it's I think we've been letting them pretend that they're countries long enough. I at this point I'm not gonna call it anything that's in the EU a country. Those are states. They should be referred to as the states, and the country should be referred to as the EU. They choose it. You know, we didn't choose it for them. This is what they wanted, this is what they got.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I mean it's what they're doing agreement and everything else. Yeah. They just didn't plan on giving up that much autonomy.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, well, we'll see what the citizens of France decide, whether they want to be a state or whether they want to be a country again. There's plenty of riots going on there right now as well.

SPEAKER_00:

Then Germany's gonna re-arm and you know, we're gonna see a repeat.

SPEAKER_04:

First thing Germany has to do to rearm is turn electricity back on after being off for five days. Yeah, well. I'm not too worried about Germany right now. They have no power coming from Russia, and soon no power coming from the US. Germany is gonna be in the Middle Ages very shortly. If if they'll have a government at all, it'll be powered by people running stationary bikes. They literally disassembled their nuclear infrastructure. Yeah, well, they can turn it back on. But they're what that was a big thing with the Green Party. Is that they cannot turn it on.

SPEAKER_00:

But that's a policy, not a source.

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's not a policy. The policy was they had to destroy them, they couldn't just turn them off so that the next government could turn them back in.

SPEAKER_00:

They haven't even decommissioned them fully.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, let's see your sources for that. Because what I read is that they cannot turn them back on once they've been turned off.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Rock, let's see what you have to say.

SPEAKER_00:

You sent me a picture of your blood sugar, and I gotta check mine after I ate.

SPEAKER_04:

Picture, oh yeah, well, blood trigger, yeah. I uh I had so I'm still I'm still on the uh not eating thing. And I was like, That's why I was gonna tell you about my food. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, let me give a quick update on the fasting. So I I just woke up because after being up since six and then being troll the trolling non-stop for all those hours, I got tired. That's one thing I will have to say. I don't recall being nearly as tired on previous fasts as I am on the fast this year. Like, I think my my sleep is averaging about 12 hours a day right now because I'm taking naps every single day. And I don't usually take a nap. I mean, usually I'm out well, maybe once a week I'll take a nap.

SPEAKER_00:

You've missed shows because you've napped.

SPEAKER_04:

I have not missed shows. We may have started slightly late because I've napped. I don't think I've been to reschedule. You know, Mr. Reschedule, and I don't think you want to be throwing those bricks right now.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey, I'm just I don't pretend.

SPEAKER_04:

You know, we were on, I saw the stats for us, and now I'll get back to the the food thing. I think we did 39 shows last year, is what the stats showed. Out of 52. That's not very good. We ought to be doing more.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, that's like eight weeks off. What the hell? What are we? Europeans here? What are we Europeans that we take eight weeks off? Some of us have full-time jobs, Gene. Uh well, I would love for two of us to have full-time jobs. Not the case right now, so let's get on with the program. All right, so getting back to the food part, so I'm just feeling freaking tired. I will say I don't feel as hungry, I guess, as I did on day three, two, and three, um, which is predicted, which is usually the case the way it works. But I'm still like barely, barely very low levels of ketones. So I don't know what the hell I'm running on, but it it appears to still be a lot of excess sugar left over from what I was eating.

SPEAKER_00:

And and for the record, I just went and looked. We had 47 episodes.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, well, that's uh it's basically the same number. So it's it's the same number as the number of states in the European Union. Gotcha. Anyway. Yeah, 47's not as bad, I guess. It's four weeks that we missed. That's not too bad. I thought it was more than that. I I really did think it was like in the 30s. But yeah, so I mean, I do feel a little more refreshed after taking the nap. And the other thing I did is I, you know, usually historically, and people may get tuned out because it's not interesting for them, but typically when I've done these fasts in the in the past, I also stopped taking all my drugs when I do the fast because, well, for multiple reasons, one of which is some of the drugs start having side effects if you're not taking them with food. But some of it is just like insulin. I don't really need insulin if I'm not getting food. But I swear to god, this time around, and I've sent you a few of my charts of blood sugar because I'm I'm currently uh running the continuous meter, uh, as are you.

SPEAKER_00:

It's but I'm not diabetic.

SPEAKER_04:

But you're not diabetic, so you and you can see very clearly the difference between the diabetic and the diabetic on that meter. Because what you're seeing on mine is it just is was just not getting below about 150. Even though I'm not eating. So figure that one out. And on the one I just sent you, you can see that it's it's trending down, it's finally at 100 right now. And that's because I before I took a nap, I I gave myself an insulin shot, like I normally would do if I was eating. I I just thought this is ridiculous. I can't believe that the damn sugar is not dropping to 100, which I think typically it has just stayed right around 100 when I've been fasting. So it's I don't know. Maybe it's getting old, maybe it's just something else, but it seems like like it's it's the fast is not kicking in as fast as it used to.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, you know, hey, it may just be metabolism changes. It it could be and and I think it'd be worth next year trying some ketone esters or something.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, it may be worth trying to do it more than once this year is the bottom. I that's kind of what I'm thinking. I mean, I may be saying, yeah, fuck that shit in a couple days when I'm feeling really hungry, but um or really low energy anyway. That may be the bigger issue. But at least right now, what am I now five days into it? I am I'm thinking that it's I may want to do this again in three months. Yeah, you say that now. I do say that, and but you know what? Saying it on the freaking podcast is more likely to make it happen for real than just thinking it. You know what I mean? Okay, all right. Anyway, you were gonna talk about food yourself. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh, it was just I had catfish and shrimp.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, that's what you mean by you bastard. So you mean talking about food you've recipes and just to be an asshole and tell me about the great food you're eating. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And the nice crowfish atuffet. My I love that stuff.

SPEAKER_04:

You my podcast partner, ladies and gentlemen. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh-huh. Friends like this. Yeah. Well, you know what Warren G. Harding said about his friends. What did he say? My enemies, my enemies I can handle. It's my friends, my goddamn friends that keep me up at night.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh-huh. Exactly.

unknown:

Yep.

SPEAKER_04:

Exactly. Uh, all right. So we talked a little bit about Greenland. Well, where do we want to jump to next? There's so many things that have happened. I would say the yoinkening.

SPEAKER_00:

What's the yunking? Venezuela. We went to their president.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, yeah, yeah. We did. Yeah, that's a good term for it. We did yoink it. Like, seriously, dude. Well, I I would be hard to imagine someone doesn't know what happened there, but why don't you give a quick summary?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, there's a lot of stuff around it we need to talk about, including the Russian-flagged tank. Okay. Quick summary Maduro fucked around and found out. He was given negotiations where he could have left. He chose not to, finally had enough of it, and in three hours went in, got him, got out.

SPEAKER_04:

Come and get me.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, he was moving around, but our intelligence agencies tracked him. I'm I'm sure that someone is inner circle is working with the CIA at this point. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

We had Massad in there. Totally.

SPEAKER_00:

But no, the Russian air defense systems that they had instead of the chair.

SPEAKER_04:

Correction, correction. That was actually a Chinese air defense system. I just got some clarity on that today. So they they had decided to save some money and get the Chinese one instead of the Glau one.

SPEAKER_00:

It's the same design, but okay.

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's a Chinese copy of the Russian one.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a copy. So what's better? A Russian AK or a Yugo AK?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, yeah, exactly. Obviously the Russian one.

SPEAKER_00:

No, actually the UK, the Yugos are.

SPEAKER_04:

The Yugos are worse. They are worse. Totally worse. So the Russians were quick to point that out, which I thought was hilarious. No, no, no, no, no. Those are not ours.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Well, regardless, we've gone through Russian air defense systems in Iran, and the point is the way this was run with the growlers and everything else, the electronic warfare, anti-radiation missiles, and a lot of people misunderstand what an anti-radiation missile is. It's literally a radar-seeking missile. So anything that is transmitting in the frequencies that you want to assign to their air defense, it literally hunts that sucker down and blows it up.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's very cool. We also had the the what were they called? They were and no U.S.

SPEAKER_00:

casualties.

SPEAKER_04:

Right. Although a couple of people did have minor injuries.

SPEAKER_00:

Right, but no U.S. casualties, not a single one. Yep. Not that can't be said for the Venezuelans, though. But it's not like they had massive injuries either. I mean, this was very whoever opposed the Delta Force team that went in there and went, fuck you. You can't, you're not even going to have enough notice, Maduro, to get to your safe room and close the door. Like holy shit.

SPEAKER_04:

No, I think the picture of four guys that are all night vision. Yeah, with night vision. And grinning standing around his bed was probably pretty accurate. That was a good meme going around. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

The memes were fantastic.

SPEAKER_04:

It was a, I think it's gonna be an operation that that the planning for would be talked about for many years. Yeah. Because it was executed great. And there was I can't remember if it was 70 or 80 helicopters involved, or total aerial vehicles, including plants. It was a a significant number of aircraft that was involved.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, like I said, from uh from an air cover and taking out the air defense system, it was, you know, F-18 growlers, F-35s, F-22s were there in case in, you know, they got any fighters off the runways, which we also, this hasn't been really reported a whole bunch, but we took out their runways. Yep. It's part of the reason why there was no response.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Because they have no short or vertical takeoff fighters. Now I think one of the lessons learned here is the same lesson as Ukraine is that air combat special military operation was successful and over in three hours, and we're how many years into Ukraine? Almost five.

SPEAKER_04:

It's it's pushing on five, it's been too damn long. I mean, there are some differences there, but yeah, it's it's certainly.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, we're better than the Russians. That's the difference.

SPEAKER_04:

Duh. I don't think that's ever been really. I mean, I don't think the Russians would say otherwise either. It's like the the only reason it's lasted for five years. Because somebody was starting, you know, all the Ukraine flag people are like, yeah, you Ukraine's been pushing back Russia with uh with uh you know five guys and and a two drones, and I was like, dude, the US intelligence has been pushing Russia back. It's U.S. satellites with US drone operations running over Musk's network. It has nothing whatsoever to do with actual Ukrainians. The actual Ukrainians are getting kidnapped on the street, sent to the to be cannon fodder so that the Americans can actually keep flying the drones. Let's just be honest about what that is.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and we've but we've learned a ton about Russian uh tactics, air defense systems, all that from Ukraine.

SPEAKER_04:

But I think the lesson here learned is anyone who's not a United States does not need an Air Force. What you need is to start printing drones like crazy. Because if you can get enough drones built, you can take out these multimillion dollar aircraft. If there was drones instead of people guarding Maduro, I think we would have a lot of U.S. casualties. Maybe every drone loaded with C4 dude. Good luck. Good luck fighting that shit.

SPEAKER_00:

We'll see.

SPEAKER_04:

And have you seen the Atlas? The new Atlas video?

SPEAKER_00:

What new Atlas video?

SPEAKER_04:

You know, the Atlas, the robot from uh that of formerly of Boston Dynamics, now of Hyundai? No, I haven't. You know, they bought them, right? They bought the Boston Dynamics.

SPEAKER_00:

But I'm not done with Venezuela.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, okay. But go ahead.

SPEAKER_00:

Let's get back to it. So since then, we've seized two oil tankers and more on the list.

SPEAKER_04:

One of which the Russians Venezuela, but okay.

SPEAKER_00:

One of which well, one of which the Russians have said is no longer a Venezuelan tanker, it's actually flagged under them that changed its name and changed its flag in route. So yeah, fuck that.

SPEAKER_04:

Which again, people are surprised that this happens all the time.

SPEAKER_00:

And it's Russia dispatched a submarine to escort this, and we finally yoinked it. Again, the yoinking. But here's the thing it was not loaded with oil, and we haven't heard what it was loaded with. Yeah. So what was on that ship, Gene?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's a very good question because I don't know. Because I heard the same thing you did, and it appears that it wasn't the oil, it was the tanker itself that they were trying to save. But who and why? Well, I mean Russia, obviously, but I don't know. I I think this this hopefully we'll find out. I hope this isn't just become one of those black hole things. But obviously, there was something worth saving on this tanker.

SPEAKER_00:

That's my point. There had to have been something on the tanker.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Or a person.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_04:

Either a person or a product or something which is not oil that was of high importance on the tanker.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I hope we get to find out what, because I it it it it interests me and it bugs me that we don't.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I don't expect to know every detail of military operations moving forward. I mean, that would be dumb.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, anyway, so that it's interesting to me that the Russians or it has been reported that the Russians sent a sub to escort that tanker. Yeah. And if that is true, well, how did a Coast Guard cutter interdict, right? Yeah. So there's questions there. Or did the Russians just go, well, shit, we're just if the Americans are calling our bluff, we're gonna.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, they're not gonna use a fucking submarine to sink a U.S. ship, dude. That'd be crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, but then why even send it in the first place? It's all a show of force.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a show of force.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, and then we called their fucking bluff.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, yeah, yeah. And and it legitimizes getting Greenland in the process. Because it's like, well, see, see, we have to get that thing, and it would have been a lot easier if we could just have a port in Greenland.

SPEAKER_00:

Yep. Well, here's the other thing that I think is interesting that I think a lot of the analysis is I haven't heard anyone else really talk about. But I think this opens up Russia ending the war.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, but maybe not in the way of the.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, that's that's okay, maybe exactly the way you think. Yes. Yeah. I think this would be completely legitimate for them to go, well, we're calling him a criminal, we're gonna go do this, we're taking him. All right.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, there hasn't been an election there for longer than there hasn't been one in the It's the exact same circumstances or circumstances. So they yank their sphere of influence, the whole thing.

SPEAKER_00:

All of our justifications could easily be used by the Russians to go yoink Zelensky and then deal with someone actually probably more reasonable.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, which would literally be anybody else. Yeah. I think that's likely. And I think Trump at this stage is frustrated enough with both countries that he'd like, I don't care how it ends, it just needs to end. So yeah, I I think that you're right. I thought you were gonna go in a different direction there, but no, I think that is exactly the direction that you could go, is all of a sudden you know, Zelensky just disappears. Although I don't think we're gonna get the cool photos of Zelensky wearing glasses and dressed like a DJ that we got with Maduro.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, I I don't know. What what do you think was up with the glasses other than just sensory deprivation for it?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it was sensory deprivation. Those looked like they were really big black glasses. But what's funny about it is that whoever made the first AI video of him DJing, it so works. I mean, it totally works. The outfit, the glasses, the the mustache. You gotta admit, the guy's a well-groomed dude. He's got perfect hair and a perfect mustache.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, it's also interesting. Like, I um part of me wonders if this wasn't somewhat of an extraction because why would we take his family with, you know? Yeah. And a lot of people are going with the theory well, he finally got to an agreement with Trump to turn on Dominion voting and all the election issues in 2020.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, there is, I think, a legitimate argument to say that the guy would have probably been assassinated if he decided to start getting friendly with the US. Yeah. I I think that's a legitimate concern for him. Now, whether he did do that or not, and whether they coordinated this operation to quote unquote kidnap him, or whether it was an actual, you know, police action by us, uh, it's great either way, but I don't know. Maduro's giving two thumbs up when he's got taken photos of him for proof of life. What the hell, man? Who does that?

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know. The Joker? Someone who's insane. Hey, there just came an unverified report, but it's coming from some people that I think of okay. Uh so there's a report that uh Khamani is no longer that he's been spungled to Russia.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. I saw that I I'm not gonna buy into that for a number of reasons. I think there are a lot of these guys, including Maduro, that Russia would take. I don't think Khamani's one of them. They they Russia has had a Islam problem that took them five years to get through with the whole Chechnya thing. They don't need any figureheads of Islam sitting in Russia. That would be uh something that they would not do.

SPEAKER_00:

Maybe as a temporary thing, you know, because they have been allies with the Iranians.

SPEAKER_04:

He's a lot more likely to end up in Afghanistan than he is in Russia. So I don't know whether he's still in Iran or not, but I would highly doubt that he would be in Russia.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, uh for those who don't know, it sure looks like Iran is going through a pretty good revolution right now.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, all the the Iranian Westerners, like people that came from Iran, you know, they're all blogging non-this. Is like this is their Ukraine war, so they're all posting non-stop 24 hours a day right now, and I'm watching a lot of those videos. And yeah, this is a lot more than the protest, this is a full-on revolution happening. Yeah. It it's it's a little less violent than the the Islamic revolution that started this whole thing in Iran, but the numbers of people are even bigger. Like, this is genuinely supported by the population. I've been seeing Iranians pop up on like Israeli talk shows talking about how they can't wait for their you know Israeli brothers to be able to come to Iran and normalize relations. Because you know, Iran had good relations with Israel back in the day. And it it is a it is something a lot of people are keeping their fingers crossed, and I uh you you you got some reliable people. I got some people here too, and Mossad apparently was caught a little off guard by the timing of this thing. Uh like they weren't they weren't pulling a color revolution for this to happen. This started organically, which is another very good sign. Well, I mean, uh it may have been somebody else, but it wasn't Mossad. But at this point, they are absolutely providing support in the form of radio communication and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, so so and they're there. It should be noted that the Venezuelans responded similarly as the Iranians here. Yes, you know, to this.

SPEAKER_04:

So in fact, we have very similar videos to like in Iran, there are people putting up we love you Trump signs, which is the same thing that we've seen in Venezuela.

SPEAKER_00:

Which I don't know why we chose to do the podcast right now. The Miami old miss game is on.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, well, we didn't choose. We always do the, you know, we do it like clockwork every single time. It's it's a locked-in thing, you know, about you could have told those guys to move the game. Yeah. Decided not to, I guess. So I'm really I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Iran. Now, another report that I saw which is not confirmed, which is why I wasn't gonna mention it, but I'll mention it anyway, is that there was a release of 8,000 prisoners in Venezuela. If that's true, that that solidifies that this thing is done done. Like the U.S. won't need to have boots on the ground because the local government is actually dismantling the regime. If it's not true, you know. This is the thing. It's like I love what happened, I love the way the operation was carried out. I think it's a huge, tremendous win for the country and for Trump, but we don't want to get too caught up in the patting ourselves on the back because if the current government does not fold, that means we do have to go in there and bring people.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh boots on the ground, maybe or just let it be a their problem.

SPEAKER_04:

But that's what we've done in the past, is let it be their problem, and they you know, but Maduro held on to power, but I in a lot of these places, like mud it's not Maduro holding on to power, it's the apparatus, it's their version of the deep state. Maduro is just the the front guy. Do you you remember who Maduro was, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, he he's the front man for the cartel, right?

SPEAKER_04:

But do you remember his background?

SPEAKER_00:

Background driver, yes.

SPEAKER_04:

Exactly. This is literally the trusted driver of what's uh keep thinking Noriega, it's obviously not Noriega. Yeah, Chavez. This is literally Chavez's driver, okay? Keep that in mind, guys. It is yes, he trusted him because the guy could have killed him plenty of times, so there is that, but it's not like he's some, you know, political figurehead that that's been pushing for communism for the last 30 years and has finally rose to power. No, no, no, no. This was the last dictator's driver. That's how ridiculous this is. So yeah, yeah. A lot of craziness happening, but I'm really hoping, and I I hope people that do pray do a prayer or two for the people of Iran and for the people of Venezuela, because both of those groups of people really deserve better than what they've had and are on the brink of having it be better than what they've had.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, anyway, I think that it's going to be pretty interesting to see what happens in Venezuela and a few other Latin American countries. Because I'm I'm telling you right now, if I I think you're going to see, and the Trump administration has already talked about this, even with Greenland, you know, hey, we're we're gonna start taking what we want and doing what we want here, and everybody's gonna get in line or suffer the consequences. So, like I've said, the Neo Monroe doctrine is going to be that certainly everyone in North and South America is either a vassal state of the US or part of the U.S.

SPEAKER_01:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00:

Like I I think Cuba is gonna start teetering, and I don't know if we'll have to do anything in Cuba or not, but I can totally see us doing that. And you know, I hate to say it, but I think Colombia's on deck too. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I think you're right. And dude, if Cuba goes, that'll be like three holiday destinations that we're gonna have now.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

These these are bucketless places for me to go and haven't been for obvious reasons. But you know, I've been wanting to go to Cuba literally since 1980, and I think I still have a packet of Cuban sand somewhere. I don't longer have my pre-Castor Cuban cigars, but I did have pre-Castor Cuban cigars at one point in time. Dude, Cubans lately have been crap. Well, that's not really a surprise.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I'm talking about the cigars.

SPEAKER_04:

I know, but then so am I. It takes more than a name on a box to make a good cigar.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. So speaking of travel destinations and everything, uh, it's been nice not traveling here lately because of the break and all that, but it's already kicking back up. Uh so towards the end of the month, I'll be in Florida for project kickoff. I'll probably be in back in Puerto Rico at some point in time, late January, early February. And then at some point in time in February, it looks like I'm going to Guam finally. So nice. Yeah. So it's yeah, well, it when I fly business class round trip to Guam, but that will guarantee my status for next year.

SPEAKER_04:

I know that's that's a great part about it. Anything else on the revolutions happening all around, or you want to jump to Minnesota?

SPEAKER_00:

The only other thing I would be really watching right now is actually some some places in Europe. You know, we've got the Irish are pretty pissed off. You've you've got a lot of the UK is really pissed off. I I don't know, man. I think I think the globalists pushed a little too hard and jumped the shark a little too much.

SPEAKER_04:

They're still pushing. I mean, if you listen to the actual European leadership, they're 100% on board with the same train.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I understand.

SPEAKER_04:

So I'd like to think that the the Brits can do something about this, but I am not sold on that. I think it may be too late for England. People have just put up with too much for too long. I don't know that they've got an ability to save their country anymore.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, it certainly is easier with guns.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. I mean they're they're literally confiscating scissors now. You're you're basically you're gonna be allowed to own the same stuff that you can go through TSA with.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Yeah. Alright, so Minnesota.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, Minnesota. Boy, the gift that keeps on giving, huh?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, are you wanting to talk about the shooting or the fraud?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I think they're kind of tied together, aren't they?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

The fraud was massive, and there's more and more implications of Tampon Tim being involved. Or at least being aware of it. Being aware of it.

SPEAKER_00:

This this is why he bowed out of the race, according to his own daughter.

SPEAKER_04:

Likely. Yeah. There there are more and more people that seem to be not just. in Minnesota but that are getting caught up in the in the the fraud of the child care did you hear about the latest one is apparently the the White House guard that shot and executed Babbitt during you mean the the Capitol policeman yeah yeah yeah okay whatever yeah apparently he's been running a daycare you're shitting me no for four money laundering operation for fourteen years he's been running a daycare and there are now probes into it because they they don't see a single review on Yelp of the quality of his daycare which seems to be very unusual to not have Yelp reviews for daycare services. Not like your friends but you know what I mean like paid well a daycare so now they're saying the rumors is at least that uh yeah this is this is not limited to Somalis and it's not just a program this has like been a recommended way to build the system by Democrats for years.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah to get their special interest groups kickbacks did you see the report about the Omar laundering a million dollars? Ilhan yep I don't understand how she's just sent it to a substance abuse clinic that was fraudulent in Minnesota and the Republicans just caught it and removed it. Yeah yeah it it's I I think like at this point she has to be arrested and deported. Yeah like right now like don't wait for shit dude just do it get have ICE go and get her I'm I'm a bigger supporter of ICE than I've ever been I think um and Scott Bessant just came out and said that up to six hundred billion dollars a year in fraud that they've think they've identified so that's you know almost 10% of our tax spending well it's a hell of a lot more than we spent on Israel that's for sure and it's it's a lot more than it would cost us to get Greenland.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a yeah I mean with so many people detracting from what Trump has managed to get done Trump really has been kicking ass.

SPEAKER_00:

Well and that's the thing is this fight on the this the civil war on the right that's going on right now is insane because it's people going oh my god you got me ice cream but no sprinkles you know like dude chill we've got some more time yes I will be disappointed if certain things don't happen but God let's be grateful for what is yeah absolutely all right well let's talk about the shooting then unless you got more of this stuff. No just the the daycare and medical system fraud is just obviously so rampant it's not even funny.

SPEAKER_04:

It's yeah it it it seems to be the fraud de jour for sure so this lesbian chick which everyone in the left media is claiming a mother a a mother but a divorcee that is now she's married she remarried to a chick yeah to a chick spade a spade and uh you know a taco a taco so she is moved to Minnesota without a job from Missouri seemingly to go to these protests. Now I was trying to look at all the various angles of her vehicle that I could find and I don't have a clear enough high enough resolution image of her license plate to tell whether or not she still had the Missouri plate or the Minnesota plate. Which both Missouri and Minnesota have six character plates. Texas has seven but you can't tell what the state is but what we do know is that she had kids she was unemployed and she's married to this chick who looks remarkably like Katie Lang. You remember Katie Lang? No. You ever listen to her music? No pretty good singer I always like Katie Lang. But a very butch looking lesbian if if that reference doesn't come through okay which is neither here nor there but it again it's like these people are walking stereotypes. They're exactly what you would expect them to be. Alright? Now start with that and then you go you watch the video which Tim Poole actually did a pretty good review of a few other people have as well but I think he was the first to jump on that doing frame by frame and doing a frame by frame review what you see is that there's one officer standing to the side of her telling her to get out of her car. There's another officer standing in front of the vehicle telling her to get off the car neither one of them is pointing a gun at her wheels her tires or front wheels are turned to go left which is the driver's side you can see in the video that while her tires are pointed left her front wheels spin out on the ice which means the front wheel drive car so the rear wheels are only going to go the speed the road is the front wheels if you hit the gas really hard are going to spin out especially in cold Minnesota conditions. Probably because if if she hid the the gas enough to make the wheel spin out like that and there was no ice the wheels would have just chirped and accelerated very quickly.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah and also if you listen you can hear the engine rev and in the frame by frame you can see the cop is also sliding on the ice as he's being pushed by the car.

SPEAKER_04:

Well I didn't get to that point yet. So she's her steering wheel has got the tires pointing left the wheel start spinning you can see the wheels doing multiple spins on the ice as they're catching traction the vehicle starts moving forward the cop grabs his gun as he's being and he's got his other hand on the vehicle and he's being pushed by the vehicle as she straightens out her wheel and then you can see that he shoots his gun just as her her wheels on her her front tires change direction to the right and then the cop keeps backing off after getting pushed about three feet by the vehicle and the second cops on the side of it as the vehicle with the dead driver makes a right hand turn because at this point the wheels are turned right so anyone who's saying she was just trying to leave like they told her to is lying on multiple counts. They did not tell her to leave they told her that initially but then they told her to get out of the vehicle which is when she started driving.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. And I think here's the deal I think she was trying to leave before she got arrested and she flipped out because she knew she was going to get arrested and she floored it to try and get out of there.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know that she tried was trying to hurt the the officer but regardless it is what it is look it is legally I think a clean shoot it's totally a clean shoot and by the way this cop had been previously drug down the street allegedly now we don't know how to we I have not seen somebody confirm that independently that that was the same police badge. Okay anyway I believe the story is flying around that it is the same guy that was previously dragged by vehicles so he's gonna be extra twitchy.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah and here's the thing I hate that this woman's dead I do because it gives the left a rallying cry that I don't want them to have I don't have any empathy for her because of her actions during the situation. Yeah but I do have empathy for her kids.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't I know you don't but yeah the so the the one neither one of us are a fan of cops which people know that listen to this podcast.

SPEAKER_00:

It's funny because one of my friends in talking to them back and forth a little bit about it literally said I can't help but think if that was you in that situation you'd have shot first yeah cops not letting you go touche. Yeah touche.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah and you're more than welcome to you know to get into situations this is what I've been saying too which is she committed suicide by cop this was a choice on her part that any sane person would have understood results in a death well now I will I will say one thing if she would have complied yeah they likely would have they would have handcuffed her she would have sat in the back of a car they would have released her exactly period her wife was filming this hell even if even if they arrested her and charged her you know you can still beat it right in Minnesota that is a$79 bond so she could have self-bonded I mean it's literally it's a$79 self-bond if you're arrested for protest related nonviolent things like uh you know being on inside of police line or shit like that it's not a problem I think she didn't realize that when you fuck around you will find out that's one thing now something nobody's saying that I want to be the first to say because I haven't heard anybody say it is I do somewhat blame the cop at her side window because he neither shot her and he could have he had full opportunity to but more importantly neither did he taste her in the previous 10 seconds which he should have because as soon as she became noncompliant and as soon as the vehicle is well I mean he could hear the engine rev before the vehicle moved anywhere.

SPEAKER_00:

So I was going to say as soon as the vehicle moved but before the vehicle even moved like as soon as she's noncompliant and getting out of the vehicle he should have tased her well and here's the here's the other thing the the people blaming the officer that shot well why couldn't he see the wheels and this that and the other and well first of all he's not looking down at the wheels and what direction they're pointed second of all her earlier point to exactly we don't know what it face she was making or anything else.

SPEAKER_04:

And then they criticize him for shooting two two other times right he shot a total of three rounds except when you play the video at full speed it's it's just a normal pop pop pop right it was not oh I'm gonna make sure this bitch is dead it was no holy shit oh right I mean pop pop pop is the most umbique but okay exactly but my point is yeah yeah I I think that it would have been better for her to get tased obviously she wouldn't be dead right now if she did but I don't blame the guy in front of the car whatsoever in the position he was in he did exactly what anybody in that position should have done people are saying well he only had 39 days of training that's not good dude 39 days that's that's plenty of training that's a lot of training that's a a lot more training than we give to people that walk around with guns who are not police and they're just as capable of taking a life so I don't think 39 days of training is an issue he didn't shoot prematurely he shot when the vehicle started pushing him back frankly he probably waited too long the guy in the side window absolutely waited too long and I don't think they're gonna wait as long anymore I think moving forward the ice training is going to reflect this and say if you have somebody that is noncompliant whatsoever you pepper spray them or you tase them immediately you ask questions later well and I think the escalation of force you know I I think again like I said it was a legally justified shoot but I I I still I I I think going to less than lethal earlier would have been better for everybody. Yeah yeah yeah but she literally what was she doing there? She was literally blocking the street so that ICE vehicles couldn't get past her which is why they were telling her to first leave to move off of blocking the street and then when she didn't move that's when they said get out of the vehicle you're under arrest I mean it's just it's a bad response in any way how you look at it. Minnesota is insane this is so far from the state that I grew up in it it's just not I mean as far as I'm concerned trade Minnesota for Manitoba we're all gonna be better off is it's it is insanity out there. They both have a large mall so we don't even lose the mall of America we just gain a a different mall I mean it's like there there's nothing redeeming about that state or I should say the state is beautiful. It's like California right California has got perfect weather it's on the ocean beautiful state Minnesota does not Minnesota has 2000 lakes it is a very very beautiful state if you ever go there not in the winter yeah well it is very pretty tons of lakes tons of activities Tim Poole just posted a video that I think is actually uh a great for this shooting that we were talking about a great analogy because here's a cop with a vehicle being driven at her and her body cam footage she doesn't shoot and gets run over and dies.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah yeah and you know that's you don't have to be a cop to die to a vehicle right but my point is we'll be dangerous every year than anything else right right but my this isn't a standoff watch the video you'll get what I'm saying okay but my point is this is the engine is revving the only reason why we don't have a dead cop is because they lost traction on the ice and that yes that saved him and you know it you've driven on ice I've driven on ice you know how it'll slip slip slip and then all of a sudden you'll gain traction yep yep and it's gonna be going through that guy's head too right so I think he had reasonably feared for his life and I hate that this woman put herself in this situation but that's exactly what she did.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah it's it's it this is the consequences of being stupid of acting in the manner which is gonna get you killed which got her killed and I just I don't understand these people because these are the same people I guarantee you this woman was posting nonstop about the insurrection that was happening on January 6th and how these these you know maggots were taking over the country and they need to all be jailed. Like this what people did on January 6th compared to what is going on in Minnesota right now and what frankly what was happening with the the Black Lives Matter protests is night and fucking day my God you know it's you have people walking through taking photos of what they could if they waited get a ticket to go into I mean that it's not like the Capitol is always locked down and closed. You can get a tour of the Capitol and that's the way people were acting like they were getting a tour. No one was running after and chasing down politicians to kill them. Which was what AOC of course was saying happened is that she was afraid for her life of the mobs of maggots running around it's it's insanity. So I I think that this would have if it if this wouldn't have happened yesterday it would have still happened at some point or if was it two days ago whatever it was if if it didn't happen in Minneapolis it would have happened somewhere else. But this absolutely was guaranteed to happen when you have people that think that they can interfere with the activities of the immigration service looking for people that entered the country illegally I mean it's it's insanity it is absolute insanity well it we I've been thinking about the old Chinese curse right may you live in an interesting thing right there exactly well China's definitely been making popcorn and watching what's going on I mean don't get me wrong they're affected by Venezuela in Iran but at the same time they're they're not having to spend the kind of money that we are they're not you know dealing with this kind of shit happening they are certainly they've learned a thing or two since Tanyman Square about how to keep people under control you remember how how all the protests in Hong Kong went yeah it all got swept under the rug. Nothing ever came out of it so yeah I don't know what to tell you I think there'll be more of these probably just statistically speaking I think we're gonna have more people commit suicide by cop. I think it's likely to happen so yeah it is what it is let Minnesota burn I would get rid of Minnesota happily if we could but meanwhile just let it burn you know don't try and save Minnesota from itself if the people of Minnesota don't want to make a change look Somalis have a big concentration there but they're nowhere near 50% of the population that there's like a hundred thousand Somalis there. They just seem to control everything. So if the people of Minnesota truly wanted to get rid of this, they could get rid of it.

SPEAKER_00:

In congressional testimony today, the I forget who they were asking, it was some Minnesota s state rep. And they were asking, did Tim Waltz know about this? And dah dah. And the answer was absolutely he knew.

SPEAKER_04:

This meaning the The fraud. The fraud going in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course he did. It would be silly to think that he didn't. Now I we got any more of this on this topic? No. Alright. So did you see a uh a bill introduced by Representative Luna?

SPEAKER_00:

No, what wasn't?

SPEAKER_04:

One of my favorite reps in Congress.

SPEAKER_00:

Totally could be. She's uh entertaining to say the least.

SPEAKER_04:

She is. She is. She's cute, she's entertaining. I got pictures for her in the bathing suit. Which, you know, I'm all for having you're gonna have Congress critters and they're gonna be female, they might as well look cute. So she's introduced legislation to limit the the how do we phrase this? The ability for someone to run for Senate or House to not have any other citizenships than the U.S. citizenship. Oh yes, I did see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, basically no dual citizens as politicians.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. And it's a there was a bill in in 2003 that was also put up for the same exact thing. I think there's a better chance this one passes because there are fewer, I think fewer people that think it would be a popular platform to go up against this on both sides of the aisle right now. But right now, I mean, we've got way more. We've got twenty-seven people in the House of Representatives that have due citizenship. Including guys like Bernie Sanders.

SPEAKER_00:

Where's his citizenship? Israel no. Yeah. Well, why? Because he's Jewish?

SPEAKER_04:

Because yeah, he went there and he got a Jewish citizenship. Are you sure about that? Yeah, I'm looking at a list. Huh. Okay. Interesting. Yep. And I it's the Jews. It's the Jews. Exactly. Um I think that this is good for everybody. I don't I don't want anybody that has a dual citizenship, even if they've always if they consider like the US their primary, right? I just don't want that like that. Should just be a condition. If you want to get into politics, if you want to represent people, you're still gonna end up taking money from different PACs, right? We all know about that. APAC isn't going anywhere. But don't be a fucking citizen of another country if you're running for office. Don't don't be don't keep your your foreign status as a foreign national when you're running for office. It just it's not good. Americans don't want them. I don't think any country's population wants their leadership to be foreigners. It's a bad thing.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, so Nick Sorder just posted a thing where some bozo, quote, threw an object at ice in Minneapolis and they just tackled him.

SPEAKER_04:

But it's unfortunate they should have shot him.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I mean if you throw a rock at somebody, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

It's it's a thing. So as far as the dual citizenship, I mean, not only would it get get rid of people like Ilan Omar, who still has Sarah Somali citizenship, but it would get rid of people like Bernie Sanders.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey, by the way, on that, so most of the Somalis are here as refugees, right?

SPEAKER_04:

I think it most of the Minnesota ones are. I I don't know if I would say that across the board for the entire U.S.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. But with Israel recognizing Somaliland. Yeah. Doesn't that kind of open the door to hey, you have a place in your home to go that is no longer the country that was persecuting you that you're using? Sure.

SPEAKER_04:

Sure. Yeah. I mean, I don't think that that's really that big of a concern. I think send them back to Somalia too. But I I think it's certainly an argument for that, for sure. But I don't know. I mean, yeah, you know, you're kind of jumping out of the whole deportation thing. I just want my government to be focused on this country and not something else.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I'm just saying, you know, if you have a citizenship to anywhere else and you're not here on a work visa, bye-bye. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. And you know, there aside from the illegals that came in during the Biden administration, which was a tremendous amount of people, the single biggest group of illegal aliens in the United States are overstate college visas. Yeah. People that got legitimate visas to come into the US and then just never left. Because we have such shitty controls on foreigners residing in the U.S. Like, once they're in, no one ever checks on them.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, and you know, like we we don't want a totalitarian state like Qatar or something like that.

SPEAKER_04:

But what's wrong with just getting an RFID tag? I think that's totally reasonable.

SPEAKER_00:

Just tagging you should say that. So Qatar puts an RFID tag in your passport when you live there.

SPEAKER_04:

There you go. What a progressive country. See, they're doing things right. You don't want people just willy-nilly just going anywhere and disappearing where you can't find them.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh, one detail that I forgot to say about the whole shooting incident. It's important to note that the cop wasn't in front of her vehicle until she had backed up.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh say that again.

SPEAKER_00:

So the cop was not standing in front of her vehicle. The ice agent wasn't in front of her vehicle until she backed up. She placed him in front of her vehicle.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That that is true. But also, you know, she was told to get out of the vehicle. Like this wasn't a oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. I thought I was just her to get out of the car.

SPEAKER_00:

She refuses, backs, drives.

SPEAKER_04:

Her window is down. There's a cop with both his hands inside her vehicle telling her, trying to manipulate her to exit the vehicle. And her reaction isn't to put the car into park and then yell at the cop, which is what most people would do. Her reaction is to aim her tires at a cop and hit the gas. This is not a sane person, this is a crazy person.

SPEAKER_00:

Yep. So yeah. A crazed person at the very least.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. Bring back fucking asylums, man.

SPEAKER_00:

I got you the shirt.

SPEAKER_04:

I know, I know. We we got a country full of crazies.

SPEAKER_00:

So where do you want to go next?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I'd I'd love to build some camps up north in Alaska. That's what I'd like to do.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm talking about news one day.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, sure. Let's see.

SPEAKER_00:

What do we got?

SPEAKER_04:

What else? Uh talked about that, talked about Minnesota. I kind of lost my train of thought.

SPEAKER_00:

Apparently, a couple hours ago, a federal agent shoot two people in Portland.

SPEAKER_04:

Good.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't even know anything about the cases, but that's I I don't know either, but the the headline that just came up.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm. I'm I'm sure we'll see more about it, but it's it is. I'm trying to scroll back with the the tweets I sent you and stuff.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, if you the text messages that have been spamming me in between the two things, I have hardly any of it because, dude, uh, you know, work. Yeah, work, exactly. For the record, uh we are uh let's see here. We are what quarter are we in? We're in the second quarter, one minute left, and it is 1710 Miami.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, and that's a score, I guess. Oh, so okay, we uh we we talked about Iranian revolution, right? Yeah, we talked about that. Uh the uh the king. What what do we call him? King in exile, or what what do we call him?

SPEAKER_00:

The Shah.

SPEAKER_04:

The Shah of Iran, yeah. So he's been trying to organize people from France, which I think there's still a lot of people that actually want him in. But the interesting thing is he's been promising to come in and help put together a democratic government for the country. So the Shah in exile, and this is obviously not the Shah that actually got deposed, this is his son. He's been working working the ground from France trying to coordinate things in Iran and organize people and say, hey, as soon as you guys manage to overthrow that government, I'm in, and my job is going to be to set up a democracy. And this is one of the other things I noticed is people are not just sick of their government, they're sick of Islam.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, and I will tell you right now, Iran just probably probably guaranteed that this is going to be a full-on revolution and they're gonna lose. As of two hours ago, they cut the internet nationwide. I heard that phones and internet done. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. If they cut off that much infrastructure, I think what this is going to first turn into is the violence is gonna escalate tremendously. It's on both sides. I I think the with the internet off, the authorities, whatever is left of the authorities are going to be shooting bullets and not you know tear gas. But also I think that now that the the internet's been cut off, I think the protesters, quote unquote, are actually going to be more likely to kill people, not just burn buildings.

SPEAKER_00:

Yep, no, I agree.

SPEAKER_04:

Because hey, you know, you place people into a box like that, they're gonna act like animals. And it's it's not their fault. So yeah, good news. There are plenty of videos before this of police joining the protesters in Iran. So the the army hasn't, but the plenty of police have been chanting along with the protesters death to Khomeini. So that's a good thing. Yeah, I mean, again, I'm I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I think people that that pray should pray. Because this getting rid of the Iranian regime is going to have a tremendous effect on the rest of the world. It's gonna take out a massive supplier of the money for terrorism in all countries, it's going to show other people living under the uh Islamic rule that you can break those bonds. You know, one of the things that at least here in America, you know, Americ one thing, and this is indisputable, is Americans don't really learn world history. Americans learn barely enough American history, but they certainly just learn world history. Okay. All right. All right, Mr. World History. What years was the conquest of Northern Africa by Islam? When did the Libya all the way out the roots of Nisha? Uh huh.

SPEAKER_00:

Five something.

SPEAKER_04:

Five something? Not quite. No. When? 670.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, Jesus Christ, close enough.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

So I was closer percentage-wise than you were always.

SPEAKER_04:

You're in the right general vicinity. The point being that North Africa, which was part of the Roman Empire, as you recall, had a lot of their own religions, a lot of their own cultures. None of them were Arab, none of them considered themselves Arab. They the entire northern coast of Africa had a lot of interaction with and trade with Europe, and they were absolutely colonized by the Arabs, now modern Saudi Arabia, coming through, bringing Islam and under the banner of Islam, convert or die. And so a lot of these countries are be taxed. You know, not while they're conquering you. Eventually, yeah. That like if you didn't convert and you had a high enough position, they would make an exception and tax you. But the whole dymia thing was not like, okay, we're gonna come in and you guys have to start paying. This was not like the British Empire, which was also doing something similar with but just with the taxes part, they weren't going to kill people. So I think the natural nationalistic spirit of a lot of these countries, with the example of Iran, which there's two things happening in Iran. Do you know the fastest growing religion in Iran right now?

SPEAKER_00:

Christianity. We talked about that.

SPEAKER_04:

Do you know the second fastest growing religion in Iran? What? Zoroastrianism. The traditional historic national religion of the Iranian people. Islam is declining in Iran and has been. And I think with the revolutions, Islam is going to take a tremendous hit because it has been so tied to the oppressive regime that has been running the country that people will do whatever they can to be the opposite of Islam, whether that means becoming Christian, accepting their past historical religions, or doing whatever, they're not going to want to be associated with the last what is it, 39 years, however many years of 36, 40, 49. From 79 till now. They're not gonna want to be associated with that. So by the way, you sent me a very distracting video of Deadpool.

SPEAKER_00:

I sent it to the group chat.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh my god. Yeah. I'll tell people it's a Chinese or some Asian video of a dude dressed up as Deadpool in the store. Yeah, well, it's it looks like a store. Maybe it's Comic-Con type thing, but in a store. Whatever. And he's walks up to this Asian chick with triple D cups. I mean, they might be F cups, frankly. I don't know. But they're big, they're huge, they're the size of her head. And so he walks up to her and he's looking at her, and he does a little jump, and then she does a little jump looking back at him and smiling, and he notices how her boobs bounce. He does a dup, he literally does a double take, a literal double take, just like Deadpool would for real. And then he starts jumping up and down more, and every time he jumps, she jumps, and he's looking at her, and eventually he's looking at her and just kind of pats her on the head and walks away. It's it's a very funny video. I don't think it's an AI one. It looks real enough to me.

SPEAKER_00:

Regardless if it is or isn't, it's just it's it was funny.

SPEAKER_04:

It was it was definitely completely nine non-political and uh pretty damn funny for sure.

SPEAKER_00:

So uh I've got a subject if we're if we are at a stopping point on this one.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, so uh I've talked about the issues I've been having on the show in the past. Oh here we go.

SPEAKER_04:

It well R-rated part of the show. Tell your kids to stop listening. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_00:

Please don't let your kids listen to us. Ever. Yeah. Anyway. So I've been having these issues. Well, I finally got with a specialist and we're changing some stuff up, and that's all good. But he's currently running a study that is linking dips in blood sugar at night into causing certain things. So I am the bionic man right now. That's why I've got the blood sugar sensor on my arm.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, yeah, you're a guy without diabetes with a blood sugar sensor.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, correct. And then they've got me wearing a health monitor, a whoop, which is an over-the-counter health monitor. But then they have me wearing this thing at night that monitors lower the counter. Yeah. But anyway, it's a it's it's an interesting thing. So I'm I'm participating in a medical study for it for two weeks because it's such a rare condition. They just don't have a lot of the people studying pyraprism. I've talked about it before on the show.

SPEAKER_04:

What the the tool you're wearing is.

SPEAKER_00:

You can Google firm tech if you want to know.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. F-I-R-M tech. It's a sex toy, guys. He he has to wear a sex toy.

SPEAKER_00:

It is not a sex toy, it is a meter.

SPEAKER_04:

The meter that you can remotely jolt is, you know what, with it's a hell of a sex toy.

SPEAKER_00:

It's not how it works, it just measures when how so you're saying that company makes other devices too?

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

This this is it's it's a ring that goes on there and measures when I have an erection and for how long and how hard and so on.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

So cheating. Anyway, uh it's the whole point was to talk about the study. Oh, right, that's right.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, no, and we're serious. We're not, we're not just you know, we're not gonna be. Guys, we're not gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00:

Like, I was joking around with Gene when I when I was driving back from the doctor's office. I'm like, dude, you're not gonna believe this. I've got a Bluetooth cockroach. It's like a$300 device.

SPEAKER_04:

Who the fuck is buying this? Sex toys are expensive, man. But that's how you get on OnlyFans. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00:

No one wants to see that anyway. No. No, but it it it's good that they're trying to study and find. And the whole idea is that some of the medications that are used to stabilize a diabetics blood sugar, if this is a cause and a trigger, could be used in treating this.

SPEAKER_04:

So Halle, you should have mentioned something. I would have just had you try one of everything. Yeah, I'm good. See if that fixes it.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, he did change my medication around, so we'll see. And wants me to do pelvic floor physical therapy, which is interesting.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, just just it and women call that kegel exercises, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I understand.

SPEAKER_04:

But I'm not I'm not telling you, I'm telling everybody else who's listening. That's all. Yeah, I mean, you're Bionica, right? Apparently. I I can't believe you're talking about it, but okay. Why? I haven't. I mean, if you are, you are.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, here's the thing. This is a this is an issue that I've read way too many research papers and case studies where guys wait way too long. Like if you're having an issue, you have to get it down. You know, taking extra Pseudoped, extra strength, and stuff. If that doesn't take it down, go to the FNER.

SPEAKER_04:

If you do nothing, your penis would literally explode and probably kill you and anybody standing within four feet of you.

SPEAKER_00:

Not quite that, but I mean that's what I read. Well, like one of the doctors told me a story of a guy who went on a cocaine bender for two and a half weeks. Oh, that's hard the entire time, and he was describing having to cut open the penis and vacuum out the congealed blood. Like, that's not something you want to have happen.

SPEAKER_04:

Wait, congealed? So what if you take a lot of aspirin?

SPEAKER_00:

No, no, no, no, no. Because what happens is the the way it works is you got some blood that goes in and then your body clamps down on those veins and holds up for a couple.

SPEAKER_04:

It just stays in one place. But if it's not circulated, anticoagulants in it, then it's gonna stay liquid.

SPEAKER_00:

No, because it will it's not going, but you you're missing the point. The the blood becomes desanguinated and lacks oxygen, and then the tissue around it dies.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, well, that's not good.

SPEAKER_00:

And that's why you're doing it. That's why that that's why that four-hour limit is so important because oh at at four hours you're starting to do damage.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

At eight, you're starting to do fairly severe damage.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, and kidas exploding is definitely damage.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Anyway, that's not a good thing.

SPEAKER_00:

The the entire thing here is most primisms like this are pharmacologically induced, right? Like Viagra or cocaine and stuff like that. But like mine is not. Yeah, that's they even cut out all supplements, huh?

SPEAKER_04:

Because I I'm trying to remember back, but I think when I did a Cialis and Coke at the same time, I had a pretty damn long erection.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, it's it can be dangerous. That's the whole thing.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, hookers and blow, you know.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh anyway, it's a thing.

SPEAKER_04:

So if you want a remote control, Ben, he has an OnlyFans page up. Jesus Christ. I'm not gonna advertise you if you don't want to advertise, but I'm just saying, you know, people are interested. Uh-huh. All right. So, did you see the hilarious bit of info that I posted about Nick Fuentes? No. There's two things. So, yeah, you haven't read any of the text I sent.

SPEAKER_00:

So, first of all, Nick Fuentes. Literally, it's been a very busy few days coming back.

SPEAKER_04:

So, Nick Fuentes posted a clip where he is showing a lot of frustration with the goys. And he's like, you know what? At this point, I might as well just join the Jews. He's very frustrated with the Goys. And then somebody started doing a little more digging. And it was always a little suspicious because the name Fuentes doesn't just make him a gay Mexican. It's Fuentes is actually historically a Jewish name from Spain. And then we find out that his dad did a 23andMe test.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, and he's Jewish?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, but like everybody has some like.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, so the gay Mexican, white supremacist, is a Jew.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh-huh. Just saying.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, I don't how How fucked in the head do you have to be to swear allegiance and follow and he does make him swear allegiance, the Gripers, follow a gay Jewish Mexican white supremacist. I I'm I'm just asking for a friend.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know, are you joining the Gripers?

SPEAKER_04:

I'm not, but it's like it is it's insanity. It it literally is the black KKK guy from what's his name show? Chappelle show. You remember that skit, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, when he divorces his wife because she was a you know Yeah, because she married a black man.

SPEAKER_04:

He can't be married to a woman that may that slept with a black man. Even though he's the black man. Huh? Tucker looks like he's aged about 20 years in his most recent photos. I guess that's what happens. But yeah, it it's it's been a hell of a week, man. It's been a hell of a week. Berlin's still in a five-day blackout.

SPEAKER_00:

Which is man, uh they're saying publicly sabotage, but uh that I'm hearing very different things from lots of people.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Yeah, well we'll see.

SPEAKER_03:

See what ends up happening there. The memes of our VP are next level right now.

SPEAKER_04:

There's been so many of them.

SPEAKER_00:

Fat JD Vance.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, the fat JD Vance. At this point, I'm just calling him JD Vance. I mean, I like there's more images of that than the real JD Vance, so that's the normal JD Vance at this point. But I think the AI software is getting so good at just sticking him into anything. Any situation, any kind of uh visuals, real video, fake video, it doesn't matter. They've got uh JD Vance in there. And that that that is my trump card for any of these arguments with the Europeans, especially with America. It's like, okay, you think you you think Trump is bad? You don't like Trump? Okay, just wait till this guy's president and send them a picture of fat JD Vance.

SPEAKER_00:

Why? I think JD Vance would make a good president. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_04:

No, it's the meme JD Vance, not the real JD Vance, but you know, I mean, he's usually not doing things in the videos that are you know respectable. It's funny. The point is it's funny.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

I I don't really haven't paid attention to the JD Vance memes.

SPEAKER_04:

How about all the memes of Marco Rubio having to do all these jobs now?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, like the f finding out you're the president of Venezuela and stuff like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh huh. And Iran and Greenland. And and now the the latest batch has him basically being there. There's memes of him in that pose as a Viking, as a French general, as a sailor in World War II, as a Green Bay Packers football player. I mean, it it like those memes are just going next level. Gotta love the memes, man. All about the memes.

SPEAKER_00:

A time for memefication. But it's they said may you live in interesting times, but all over again, right?

SPEAKER_04:

Briefly mentioned that that Hilton Hotel in Minnesota.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was also a Nick Shorter find.

SPEAKER_04:

Was it? Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, so Homeland Security told Hitland Hilton, and Hilton said, okay, we've corrected it. And then JD Shorter went and found that nope, they're still not taking certain government codes and payment rates. So, and anyway, Hilton did the exact right thing though.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, they they basically kicked the hotel out of the program. So, you know, it's it like most hotels, it's not actually owned by Hilton, it's uh owned independently, but it's part of the Hilton franchise, the Hilton brand. And so Hilton obviously has something in their contract where they can remove them immediately for cause, which is what they did, and the sign of the hotel had to be taken down immediately. Now it doesn't mean the hotel's closed, it just means that who the fuck would want to stay in a hotel with no sign? And the government canceled, removed that hotel rather from their register of authorized hotels for the entire US government, which also has an impact on states because most states defer to that list from the federal government as to what hotels their employees can stay in and how much they're gonna get reimbursed for it. So being being removed from that list of government approved properties, it I mean this is a fairly significant financial cost to the owners of the hotel, which from again unconfirmed, but I've heard it's uh three Indian dudes. I don't know, true or not that's that's what's flying around the net. I mean, they're not like one family, it's basically just you know three independent dudes that bought a hotel together.

SPEAKER_00:

Which is not that unusual is owned, and you know, it's I don't know the ownership of the company, but they own multiple hotels. So one of the things that'll be interesting to me.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, they got rid of the rest of their hotels?

SPEAKER_00:

That's the question, didn't they?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, interesting. Yeah, yeah. Well, I didn't even know they had other properties. I thought they just had this one. So that that's very interesting. Yeah, I'm sure they'll there'll be ramifications along the and immediately you start getting bombarded with free speech, man. Government can't compel you to have government people staying at your hotel. No, that's not what the government's doing. The government's taking exactly the action they should, which is like, okay, this hotel doesn't want us staying there, let's remove them from the register. But Hilton definitely wants government to stay at Hilton's.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. Hilton did, like I said, the exact right thing. Yeah. And look, you know, they they go, oh, the government, the Third Amendment, you know, Gordon, this isn't quartering troops, this isn't a home. Yeah, this is the quartering. Quartering troops. Like, no, and no.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, what uh what's gonna be the reaction from these same people that are all up in arms about this hotel if a McDonald's franchisee put a sign that says no black people? Well, you can't do that. You're Hitler. That would be the reaction. Yep. Yeah, it's it it is nuts. Well, I don't know, Ben. I mean, there may be other things, and I I'm sure there are other things that I've sent stuff up where I talked about.

SPEAKER_00:

I know one thing we should talk about. What's that? The the suppressor stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, not just that the okay, the tax stamp and all that, but what we were talking about on the 3D printing.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm. So yeah, you can I forgot we had that conversation without recording it, didn't we?

SPEAKER_00:

Right, right, right. And that's what finally talked about. So one of the things that I came to the realization on, and there's a lot of people pushing this now, but because a Form 1 registration is free, you can get a decent 3D printer and print out, especially for like a pistol caliber. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

So first of all, form one is the form you would fill out if you made a make something that is a firearm or related. NFA. Yeah, NFA. There you go.

SPEAKER_00:

But anyway, you could form one a or you could even get a cap laser engraved that you screw into the rest of it that is your registered piece, and then you could 3D print essentially disposable suppressors where when you now if you depending on what porch part you make that you register with the ATF, that you have to notify when you dispose of it, right? Yeah, you have to tell them it was destroyed and removed from service and so on. But you know, if you 3D print your baffles and you have the end cap that's the actual registered portion, then you know your baffles wore out. Okay, well, I had to repair my baffles. Nothing wrong with that, to my knowledge.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, which again, we're not lawyering this, we're just saying that's what it seems like is the case. And if that is the case, truly, then that's awesome. Because it basically means you can buy effectively an adapter that you can then use whatever shape, size, length, whatever variant of a suppressor that you can make yourself, whether it's by 3D printing or even CNC machine if you got access to one.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, regardless, the point is we can make a lot, so it's getting harder and harder right now to get a suppressor because of this lack of attack stamp and so on. But for like a pistol or 22, I you're gonna get thousands of rounds through that. You know, for an AR, you you might only get 500, but you're talking$30 worth of material versus you know, at the low end a$500 suppressor.

SPEAKER_04:

So you ready to get your bamboo printer?

SPEAKER_00:

I I have been looking into 3D printers, yes.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm all for that because I would love to use your 3D printer. And that that's not an innuendo, that's actually what I mean. It's uh I've never felt justified enough to buy my own 3D printer. But because I I usually will have like two or three things a year that I think to myself, oh, you know what? If I had a printer, I would probably use it right now. But it's not like it's any more than a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00:

I've got kids, they'll think it's cool.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh no, you that's why I'm saying it would make way more sense for you to get one and me to use it than for me to get one and for you to use it. Like you actually have another use for it with the kids. So it it makes a lot more sense for you, but I do want to make sure that you actually get a decent one because we don't want to have shitty quality. And I've been following 3D printers because I've had friends that have been really into the whole 3D printing thing for quite a while, over a decade, and there is a lot of difference between them. It that's like one 3D printer is not just like every other. One will make prints that look like Lego blocks, and another one will make prints that people will ask you, where did you buy this?

SPEAKER_03:

So it's a there's a big difference there.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, uh, it's probably gonna be on the list to get at some point.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. So good stuff. All right, Ben. Well, I think we can wrap this up. We covered everything from my current fast to your TMI health issues to what's going on all over the world. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey, I didn't even tell the funniest part of the encounter, okay? So it's all good.

SPEAKER_04:

All right, good. All right, and if you want to find out the fun part of the encounter, it's gonna be on Ben's uh OnlyFans channel.

SPEAKER_00:

Absolutely. All right, Ben. Hey Gene, they're studying my dick for science.

SPEAKER_04:

You can literally say that without lying, though.

SPEAKER_00:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04:

All right, Ben. All right, later.
