Yeah, went from sleeping on the floor, now my jewelry box froze. Fuck up pole, fuck up stove, counted millions in the cold. Bad bitch, booty swole, got her own bankroll, can't fold. That's a no, headshot, case closed.
What is up guys, it's Andy Frisella and this is the show for the realists. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today we have Andy and DJ Cruise, motherfucking internet. That's what we're gonna do, that's what CTI stands for. It stands for Cruise the Internet. We put topics on the screen, we speculate about what's going on, and we talk about how we the people solve these problems going on in the world. This is your first time listening, we do have shows within the show. You're about to hear CTI, but, uh, we also have Q&A that usually goes out on Mondays. That's where you submit questions, we give you answers. You can submit your questions a couple different ways. Go ahead and tell them how.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah. Damn, dude, am I bad?
All right, I was ready though.
That's—
no, I was ready. That's what that was, guys. Email your questions into askandy@andyforseller.com or check the link in the description below. You can submit them there or drop them in the comment section of the Q&A videos on the YouTube.
Other times we're gonna have Real Talk. Real Talk's just 5-20 minutes, me giving you some real talk. And then we have 75 Hard Versus, which we have a whole bunch of episodes coming on that, so Uh, but 75 Hard Versus where people who come on the show, they talk about, um, you know, how they were before and how they are now and how they use 75 Hard to transform their lives. You're unfamiliar with 75 Hard. It is the initial phase of the Live Hard program, which is the world's most famous mental transformation program in history. It is free. You can get it as episode 208 on the audio feed. There's also a book. The book is called The Book on Mental Toughness. You can get it at andyforsella.com. It has the entire Live Hard program. It is not free. And it has a whole bunch of other chapters on mental toughness, why it's important, and how to cultivate it in your life. Now, one thing we do different here is we don't run ads on the show. All right. Probably the biggest show in the world that doesn't run ads. All I ask in exchange is that you help us share the show.
Okay. So, uh, the show makes you think, makes you laugh. It gives you a new perspective. It's something worth sharing. Do us a solid, man. Don't be a hoe.
Share the show.
All right. What's up?
Hello. How are you?
Greetings.
Salutations.
Yes.
Yeah.
Evening, huzz.
That's right.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
So we have a special guest today, one of our good buddies, Mr. Andy Stumpf. What's happening, bro?
Not much so far.
Yeah.
I'm just marveling at the production here. It's fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. You like it?
It's awesome. Yeah.
The room's a little different since you were here last time too.
It's a little different. I tell you what, I struggle running into people who don't know about 75 Hard. The number of people that I have talked to about that, that it has had a huge impact in their life. Pretty impressive.
That's awesome.
Yeah. That's like far and wide and not even just in the US. I'm talking like other countries as well too. Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
That's cool, man.
Oh yeah, dog. Andy, what's been new, bro?
When was I last here? Fuck, so many things.
Probably it was a few. It was a few.
Something, something new that's worth noting right up front is you have a new book.
Well, I was a SEAL, so you get issued a publisher after second class. If you make it through Hell Week, you're required to write a book. The number of people who are actually— that talk shit to me about writing a book because of the amount of shit that I talked about others that write a book and said I was never going to. Yeah, I can just say it's well deserved. Yeah, well, it's appreciated for sure. Yeah, I have a book coming out on April 14th.
It's called Drown Proof.
It's actually, to be honest with you, knowing what I know about you and what you say about life and struggle and hardship, it's in line with those. Yeah, it's my best attempt to take 17 years of experiences. This is the number one thing I get. Oh, that job seems like it was awesome. I bet those experiences were amazing. I'll never be able to do that. And statistically, it is. That's correct for most people, because most people are smart enough to not go down that career field and want to do that for a living. However, the experiences are unique, but if I only have them and I don't do anything with them, that can be impactful on my life. But I truly think that they are applicable anywhere else in life. So it's my attempt of taking 17 years, the experiences, the lessons, putting them into a framework that people can then use on whatever challenge they have in their life. It's very similar, honestly, in the desire to help people improve their life in many of the ways that you talk about.
Well, I mean, that's our obligation as people who've been through things.
I think so too.
Yeah.
Like I said, if I, if I took those experiences for 17 years, which were amazing for me, and I write them off into however many years you get, that only changes my life. Why not try to do something with that and give them— I can't solve anybody's problems. I hate to tell you, nobody else can solve your problems either. Spoiler alert. But I hope I can give you tools.
Yeah.
And a framework, and then you can take it to whatever problem you have and do something with it.
Yeah. And maybe they don't have to struggle with the same problems that you had to go through and struggle with. And maybe it can cut down the time, the learning curve. I mean, that's what it's all about, man. Yep. So guys, the book is called Drown Proof: 8 Life Lessons to Keep Your Head Above Water. When does this book come out?
April 14th. April 14th. Pre-order. I've learned so much about being an author. Apparently selling books before it comes out is very important because every single presale counts and your first week.
Yeah.
To get on these lists that nobody can tell you actually what it takes to get on the list.
No shit.
And they've had to admit in court depositions that they're not based on sales.
Yeah.
That it's editorial.
Yeah.
But meanwhile, they are the, you know, this marquee. Yeah. So yeah, if you're interested, can they preorder on Amazon right now? You can preorder on Amazon, any portal you wanted to go to. Clearedhotpodcast.com/book. It has them all laid out.
There you go.
Amazon, go to town.
Check this book out. Support our boy. He's a fucking great American, great dude. And I guarantee it's going to be awesome. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but what I do like about it is the Font size is that of which a mid-40s man can read.
Written by a mid-40s man.
Yeah.
DJ, big words, bro. Yeah, you can probably read it too.
A little tight. It's a little tight right there.
It helps with the page count total as well. You know, let's get some pictures in there. Vertical format.
There you go. Bump it out.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, dude.
Some white pages in between the writing itself just to really, you know, nobody wants to have a comic book.
Yeah, well, I do.
No, I mean like a finished product and it's about, you know, as thin as an envelope. So I did what I could. Oh, that's sick, dude.
Drown-proof.
Like, because I mean, Obviously taking this, like, translating to what you had to go through and experience, right? But like, in SEAL training, like, they literally try to drown you, right? Or is that like a misconception?
Oh, you should not believe everything you see on the internet.
Oh, I mean, it's on the internet, it has to be true, right?
There's a huge misconceptions. One is they make everybody hold their breath until they pass out.
Okay.
There is only one evolution that I am aware of where that is actually— you will pass. Everything else, you will fail because there are criteria and things you can do. There's a 50-meter underwater swim. So you jump in, you do a front somersault, which I don't know why that is added into the evolution. It's a 25-meter pool side to side. You go to the other side, you touch it, another front somersault, and you come back. If you pass out on the way back and your body's forward motion has you contact the wall, we will pull you up. You will be slapped in the face by a medical doctor with several years of training, which I could do, but it was never given the opportunity because I'm not a learned doctor. And then you will pass. Other than that, every other— if you pass, like, I administered the diving test. If you pass out, you actually will fail because it's not supposed to get to that point. But the title comes from everybody wants to thrive. Great. I want everybody to thrive, but survival becomes more important than that. You got to survive before you can thrive.
So that's real, bro.
Well, I can't wait to read it, bro. I'm excited.
Hopefully you like it. I'm sure if you don't, just tell me you did.
I like everybody else.
Only give it to your closest friends. Family. The feedback is spectacular.
Yeah, I like that. It's good for the ego.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, man. Let's see, man.
Shit, dude. Ready to talk about the world?
Talk some shit.
Yeah.
I wish I was an expert in the world. The older I get, the more I realize I am not.
Yeah, well, we're not either.
I didn't realize that. No, I know all this shit.
Yeah, I can't keep up with it.
It's a lot.
Again, is it accidental? Is it intentional?
Yeah.
Is the world just so chaotic that you're not supposed to be able to keep track of it? Are people— are we being marionette dolled? I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I think one thing we definitely agree on is that, uh, it's so chaotic because so many people are struggling to survive that they have a hard time paying attention and then they make things intentionally hard to understand, which allows them to keep you know, their income stream and their power and all these things, right? So it makes sense if you think about it. And I think, you know, usually when, you know, you remove emotion, logic is usually solid and the reason that people do things, especially at that level. So we'll find out. We're going to find out one way or the other.
What does that look like when we do?
I don't know. Well, if you ask Greg Anderson, it's—
oh my God.
Yeah.
I just had him on the show and at least 15 times on my show. He's like, AR-15 and body armor.
Yeah.
I'm like, dude, we're talking about a ticket you got for rhododendrons. Yeah, let's back it off.
Yeah.
Can we have something?
Yeah, yeah. The escalation.
I appreciate the enthusiasm and his willingness to go to that level, but also let's be a little bit more like a Stereodile. Yeah, let's back it up.
Yeah, let's, let's, let's derive a plan that's winnable.
Yeah.
How about that?
Yeah.
You know, a lot of, a lot of people get fired up And they're like, well, let's fucking go to Washington, D.C. I'm like, okay, let's strategically think about this for one second. You take all the hypervigilant people, the people who are actually willing to act, and you put them in one place. Do you think that's a good idea? That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. If I'm them, I'm like, oh, here they all are. Let's get them all. One thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super easy.
No one else is lost in that too. The Civil War. Let's get the body armor and AR-15. And I'm not saying there's not a place for the body armor and AR-15. Civil war, I wish people would back off just a touch from, is that you're fighting other Americans. You're gonna square off with other, you know, it's like we've become this society, it seems, of the team that you align with via political color is more important than the country. And I refuse to get to that level. I'm on Team America, not to, you know, no pun intended to the movie, which was the greatest documentary of my generation. I don't want to square off. I don't want to square off with another American. And somehow that is lost. We're going to go fight and we're going to kill them. Like, that might be your neighbor in your cul-de-sac, man, that has a different political sign on their yard. Let's dial that back.
Just, you know what it seems like to me, dude? It seems like to me that the people who have never experienced violence, who are not— they don't have the capacity to tolerate nor inflict violence, are the people that call for it the most on the internet. Yes.
They don't do that in bars where they're going to get punched right in the face.
That's my point. Like, dude, when you and I grew up, you were of the age where if you said something to the wrong person the wrong way, there were consequences that were physical. Okay? You would get punched in the face. That was normal behavior. And you either got back up and punched them back or you said, fuck, I probably deserve that. And that is a very powerful tool to cultivate the kind of reasonable demeanor that you're expressing. But when you prop, you know, you, you put propaganda out for 15 years that these guys are the enemy, you know, it's like all the veterans and all the men and all the guys who have been punched in the face, they're all like, dude, we don't really want this shit. But you got all these fucking communist kids who are out there with their pool noodles and their fucking half trash can shields. Thinking that they're ready for violence. It's like, dude, do you not understand that the only reason that you're able to do that is because everybody else is kind of tolerating it? You know what I mean?
Like, I'm kind of here for the pool noodles and the trash can lids, though. It is spectacular in its own way.
Yeah.
I think people should take note of how many people from the last 20 years of sustained combat from this country are saying, hey, yeah, we need to take another look at this.
Yeah.
Like, we need to back it off. Yeah. People who have exposed themselves to that violence.
Yeah.
Don't want to be part of that.
That's right.
And there's a reason for that. I was trying to explain to my kids, if you wanted to talk shit to somebody when I was growing up, I'm like, okay, it was tough. I either had to figure out in the Yellow Pages what their phone number was and call them, and hopefully their parents would let them talk to me on the phone if it was after their dinner time.
Steven there?
Yeah.
I could write a letter and send it through the mail.
Yeah.
Or I could talk to them at school and say something. And the latter is going to be physical confrontation at a minimum. And the first two probably aren't going to work anyway.
Right.
It wasn't this somebody I don't know who I don't know anything about and can constantly bombard them 24 hours a day, which it's inescapable, bro. It's, it's a different world, bro. Consequences being removed from that. I personally think it just changes. People forget you didn't— I didn't mouth off like that when I was younger because you lose teeth.
Yes. And dude, what's crazy to me is how some of these young people on the internet believe that the internet's safe. Like, there are motherfuckers, bro, that you'll start beef with and they'll burn your fucking house down. They'll never make a comment, you'll never hear anything back, and then your house will be burned down.
Yeah, crazy people have the internet too.
That's what happens. Yeah, like, there, there are men out there that they don't get into the, the, uh, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. You just say fuck you or do some shit and then your house is burnt down.
How about that? That's the other extreme too. It's like, there is like Just being able to have a fistfight, that doesn't exist no more. Now it's guns. Like now, now you got to worry about— there's a whole nother extreme.
It's fucked. It's wild.
It's absolutely wild.
The internet is the best worst thing we ever created.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I text you over it.
Yeah. Oh, it's great. We would have never known each other. Right.
And then crazy people who are— burn your house down, which thankfully there's such a small statistical minority. But also your odds of being eaten by a shark are super low. But when it has its jaws around you, it's not really worth arguing.
I know this. I said it was like I see some of the kids talking some of the shit on the internet. They talk and I, I'm like, man, yeah, I probably wouldn't do that.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know, anyway, that's real, man. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's all solved by, by the way, circle back. That behavior is all solved by when they're young, getting punched in the mouth. You don't do that shit when you've actually been punched in the face a few times or a few hundred times specifically for that behavior. Right? Exactly.
The consequences to the things that come out of your mouth. Yeah, you actually having— maybe or maybe not A/B tested that as a younger man. Yeah, yeah, it stays with you the rest of your life.
Listen, one thing about me is I've been in a lot of fights, but I've been— got my ass beat enough.
Yeah.
To know that it ain't that big of a deal, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not really worried about getting my ass kicked because I've had it kicked so many times, you know, and that gives me the emotional, I guess, thermostat to know what I should and shouldn't say. You know what I mean?
How bad do I really feel?
Yeah, right. Like, I'll take an ass-whipping.
That's right. That's right.
But do I really want to?
That's right.
How much do I actually— Yeah, there's very few things that I actually believe enough to take an ass-whipping for.
Yeah.
But on those issues.
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
Like, yeah, it is what it is.
Like, you got your ass kicked. Maybe embarrassing. It's probably going to hurt for a bit. Maybe also leave that, bro. I believe that guy alone in the future.
I think simple assault with no weapons and just fists, if it's like a mutual— like certain states have like combat, mutual combat laws. Yeah, that should be totally fucking acceptable. You should not be able to fucking call the police and put someone in jail for a fistfight.
No, you just shouldn't.
Now, if they beat you, like if you're getting beat, that's a different thing. Yeah, I'm saying a fistfight.
That's my rule.
Yeah.
If you knock me out, you better leave. Like, just leave me there.
Well, that's the code. Keep hitting me. And I see that's the code. That's the code. That's the code. That's what guys— guys in all—
you roll them on their side.
Yeah. You make sure they're covered back up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's like, hey, and here's the number one thing that's going to be said to you when you wake up. We good?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah. Are you done?
That's it, dude. And then, and then, like, dude, most likely the guy gets up and you shake his hand and maybe you get a beer. Like, that used to be the world, bro.
Might end up being one of your closest friends.
Yeah, that's right. It usually is. Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, sick, man.
Getting punched in the face is good for you once in a while.
Every now and then.
Keeps you humble. Yeah.
Keeps you on your toes for sure. Hell yeah, man. Well, guys, we got the chats rolling. YouTube's rolling. X is rolling.
So much stuff is rolling.
Andy and Andy. Yep. Let's go take a cruise.
All right. Let's do it.
Shall we? Yeah. Let's get into it, guys. Remember, if you would like to see any of these headlines, articles, pictures, links, videos, go to andyfresella.com. We link them all there for you, um, so you guys can, uh, fact-check this shit for yourself. That being said, let's get into the first headline. Um, now speaking that we have a veteran here who, uh, tried and true tested, right? Let's give an expert opinion on the Ryan Moore, right? Like, it'd be great.
Oh yeah, because I'm definitely insulted at the highest level.
Let's also, let's also have you give your opinion on Black people. Oh, all of them.
That's headline 2.
Yeah.
No, no, I'm not. That's headline 2.
Okay.
But yeah, a little updates going over in the Middle East. Let's dive into it. Headline 1 reads, Americans in Iraq should leave immediately.
First of all, why are you in Iraq?
Those were some of the questions that were going through my head.
Yes.
Why would you be there? Anyway, go ahead.
I mean, in and all, like CIA guys really over there?
That's not who they're talking about.
Who are they talking about?
Citizens.
Yeah. Like, who the fuck's going like Oh, okay.
It's pretty great.
Let's go to Iraq.
You can— I mean, if somebody goes on Google, I bet you could— maybe not right now, but you could find a flight to Baghdad International if you wanted to go. Why you would want to go? I'm not going to tell people how to live their life. I'm not going to recommend that they go to that particular location. Probably not 5 stars on TripAdvisor.
That's right. That's right.
But you can go if you want to. And people, they do that stuff.
Should I get the trip insurance or whatever for when I go there? Like, it's so crazy, dude.
Yeah. So yeah, they're not talking about like State Department officials. They're not talking about people there working. They're talking about people who are there for whatever reason outside of state-sponsored events going to the US Embassy or leaving and getting out of the country.
Yeah. Well, apparently it's getting pretty hot. You got a security alert that was posted by the embassy cities, quote, indiscriminate attacks carried out by, carry out and threatened by Iran-aligned terror militias. Including a missile attack that hit a helipad at the U.S. embassy Saturday inside the fortified, quote unquote, green zone. Quote, Iran-aligned terrorist militias have attacked the international zone in central Baghdad on multiple occasions, the embassy wrote in a statement posted on X. Repeated attacks have also occurred in the vicinity of Erbil International Airport and the consulate general. Do not attempt to come to the embassy in Baghdad or the consulate general in Erbil due to the ongoing risk of rockets, drones, and mortars in Iraqi airspace. So this has been going on, um, it's been escalating. We also saw the same thing kind of happen up in, in Pakistan as well, uh, where they were attacking the U.S. embassy there. Um, you know, it's, it, it's an escalating thing, right? Um, and this isn't, you know, it's not necessarily new, I should say. I mean, we've always had issues at these places historically for the last at least 20 years, right? 40, at least 40.
Yeah, I mean, but like, I mean, since I've been alive, I mean, I don't have that long, um, you know. But, uh, some, some of the updates that I guess have been going on with this, uh, with, uh, the EU, right, they're, they're not really kind of falling in line here. They're, they've decided against expanding their naval operations in the strait, um, and you got Trump criticizing that. Of course, there's still a vague timeline, right? This was supposed to be just a couple of days, maybe a week-long operation. We are now well past that. You got Lebanon now stepping up in the conversation. There's some growing violence in Lebanon. Israel said that they're expanding their quote unquote limited ground operations. Death tolls are rising. We got injured troops everywhere. And I think, Andy, I think when you came in earlier, we were talking about this, right? Like just from your perspective, veteran's perspective, right? Anybody looking at the last, for sure, 20 years, um, what's the sentiment? I guess, what's the temperature on that side? Because I don't feel like any American citizen just in general is really like, hell yeah, let's go do this, right?
But from the warfighter's perspective, how's that? Is that the same? Has it changed? Is it different? Like, so what's your thing? What's your take on that?
Okay, so that's tough to answer because I can't speak for anybody else. For sure, I can talk about the, the pulse that I can get with the same information that I have as everybody else. I definitely don't want to speak for the the veteran community at large, but the people that I maintain close relationships with, the people that I listen to, are all putting up words of caution and slowing down. And it goes deeper than— I mean, so the attacks in areas that are near Iran make sense because if you can't launch something that is intercontinental or strike beyond very far beyond the boundaries of the country that you're in, then those things should be expected, right? Because those are in proximal distances where the weaponry that they do have can reach. So that makes sense. What's shocking to me is that the United States hasn't declared war since World War II. But we are still in the middle of this type of operation, war-type activities, war-adjacent activities, whatever you want to call it. And I actually will argue with people online all the time about this. And I think they confuse why I do.
I get really stick— I get— I become a stickler around the, uh, the definition of being at war because I think it needs to mean something because we have constantly been skirting the definitions through the authorized use of military force, which has been in action since the Global War on Terror and keeps getting kicked down the road. So it allows us to do this without actually declaring war as a country. And I don't think we should be able to do that. As somebody for 17 years of my life, who was the action arm of that. We need to take a look at this. It needs to mean something because technically right now we're not at war, even though everybody is calling it that, even though it looks like that, even though the actions are aligned with that, even though American citizens are dying over there and we are killing citizens of other countries. If it doesn't mean anything, then nothing does. And it's total bullshit to me.
Yeah.
And nobody wants to take a look at that. And I don't understand why.
So you're arguing that this should be a full-out declaration of war? If we're doing it, it should be declared war.
What I'm saying is that we need to have an actual system of checks and balances that exists. And for clarity, the authorized use of military force, the AUMF, has been completely manipulated by every president that served since it was put in. This is not a left-right thing. This is the authorization. People think Obama was this peaceful president. He was a savage.
Yeah.
And what did he use as the authorization for military action? The authorized use of military force. And Bush did the same thing, and Trump and Biden and all those things. I don't think people understand that we are supposed to, by doctrine as a country, have to have a specific way that we enter into things like this because of the consequence that it has on our society. Now, should the president be able to take small actions for shorter periods of time to respond to things that are an exigent crisis? Of course. And that those things do exist. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out why we skirt our way around these definitions and basically just gallivant around and do whatever the fuck that is that we want to do. It's to me, it's by not addressing things like that, I think we continually are weakening our status and the way that people view us around the world. We can't even get our own shit in order.
It delegitimizes our own republic, bro. Yeah, because, because the checks and balances such as our own house isn't even— that's right. Congressional approval of war powers and these things. It takes what is supposed to be a democratic republic and makes it more like a monarchy.
Yeah, right.
Like, I can just go to war. I could just do this. I could just do that. And I don't know what the reason is for that either, but I agree with you. It's— it shouldn't be that way.
I feel like it probably has to come down to the money aspect of it, right? Because these— all of the defense contractors, the Boeings, the Raytheons, right? Like, if they had to wait every time that there was a declaration of war, there'd be nothing to spend money on. We're not using our missiles every day. We're not, you know what I'm saying? So like, I would imagine—
I'm okay with that.
Well, I mean, let me—
100%.
Hold on, let's be real, okay? You know, uh, if they had to go to Congress every time that we were, uh, dragged into a conflict by Israel, they probably wouldn't pass it. Yeah, 100%, because a lot of our shit the last 20 years has been on behalf of them. Yeah, in one way or another.
Yeah. I also think too, like, I mean, to your point, Andy, is like, there's a— it's a weird thing that happens, right? Like the initial reason for creating something or we're passing this law, right? Like you just give it 5, 10 years, it looks completely different than what it was originally designed for, right? Like it's no different than the Patriot Act. We were talking about that earlier, right?
Like the initial example.
Yeah, it's real, right? Like the initial premise of it. Yeah. All right, cool. Sounds good.
The name.
Amazing. Great branding. That's just like Black Lives Matter.
It's everything. I know, that's my point.
It's like, it's every bill, every bill they pass is named that way too. Like, you know, they'll name it like it's a good thing.
Yeah.
And then there's all this nefarious shit underneath it. Yeah.
You know, and just give it a couple of years and you'll see, like, okay, well, the Patriot Act, yeah, it's spying on the Patriots. Yeah, it makes great sense. Like, it's perfect.
How many people— speaking of the Patriot Act, because he and I were talking about this earlier, If you want to have your mind blown, for people listening, Google Section 702 of the FISA Act, which is basically the backbone of the warrantless surveillance program that is supposed to be used for foreign actors only. And then just look at the hundreds of thousands of confirmed queries into the database that is collected on everybody that they touch. And then everybody that—
it's—
this is a lot of what Snowden was whistleblowing about. It was the beginnings of the PRISM program where they were able to query that. That expires next month.
Yep.
April 14th.
April. Yeah. And they're getting ready to vote on it again. And Trump is pushing for it to be put through with no changes. Just another 4 years of exactly that in a 2-year time period. It was, I think, 298,000 unconstitutional queries by just the FBI.
I wonder how many of 'em were us. Yeah.
Yeah. No shit. I mean, we know we were there on, uh, back in 2020.
That's insane.
But we, we, We'll sit here and talk about how China is a surveillance state and ignore the fact that we have been for a long time. It is unbelievable to me. And again, so not only— and then this is where I will sit at night and like, I have no evidence of competence from our government enough to believe that there is one grand puppet master of this. I wish I did. I wish I had evidence of our government being so competent, but I don't have evidence of that. So is what's happening in Iran tied to distracting people from the fact that that's going to get voted on again? And the other classic, to get people to stop talking about what was happening with the Epstein files? Or is the world just a fucking blender that is always on spin? I don't know the answer, but the timing is very coincidental often.
I think it's both.
I think so.
Yeah. I think, you know, I've talked to my buddies who— you got a lot of buddies that are, that are up in the system and I have some as well. And, you know, we talk when we're like off the record, you know, and they're like, bro, you would be surprised how fucking stupid some of these people are.
Like I said, I wish I had an example to be like, you guys don't understand. I saw like, I saw behind the curtain.
Yeah.
What it was. Is it was some—
I have a hard time believing it.
I'm like, I'm like, there's no way.
I'm like, there's no way these people are that fucking stupid.
He's like, behind the curtain is often a donkey with a fly buzzing around its head.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I don't mean like political donkey.
Well, we were just talking about that other situation. We won't talk about on the show because it's not good. But like, this happens all the time. Things are presented to be a certain way. You look behind the curtain and it's just a reputation that they're riding on, not the reality.
Yeah.
You know, yeah, it's wild, dude. Yeah.
I don't know what I mean. I would love to, you know, it doesn't surprise me that allies are hesitant to agree to something that has no definable end state, or at least I'm not hearing a definition or have been presented with one. So what are you asking for? Are you asking for a blank checkbook because, or blank utilization of our soldiers, of our assets? What are the ROEs? Are they going to fall under your chain? I mean, if you can't define these things, If I were to come to you with a business deal and be like, listen, I got this concept.
It's a great idea.
It's a great idea. I'm going to need X amount of dollars. Don't ask me like too much about what I'm going to use it for or a timeline on your ROI. Let's not even talk about ROI.
But trust me.
Yeah. Are you in? And you would go, I don't know. Can I have some more information?
Andy, what's the goal? What are we trying to do here? Oh, well, you know, I, I, I can't really tell you.
Yeah, business. Come on. Yeah, business.
That's not going to work.
Yeah.
The blind, you know, after 9/11, it was from, from what I saw in the US, that was an amazing— I'm going to say 7 days where everybody was just— Yeah, I don't have the words to describe as a common enemy. Yeah, but it was even beyond that because I'll get to that in a second too, because not only in the US, We actually had the allies that we had in the world at the time. They rallied behind us too. It was, it was just like, boom.
Yeah.
Like, we're going to do this.
Yeah.
There's a reason why that's not happening in the modern era, bro.
I wish we could get back to just like legit, like expansionism, bro. Like if we're going to go to war with the country, whoever wins, like, all right, we conquer that shit.
That's ours. Where are we starting?
Yeah, well, I mean, if we're doing around right now, Greenland, let's take it. Let's fucking take it. Like, if we're really going to get involved in that and we're risking American lives or risk— we're spending all these tax dollars to go do that.
Yeah.
What are we getting out of it, dude? Like, what is the endpoint? Take that shit. I'd be more happy with that if we're actually taking it. I want to go to Greenland on a U.S. passport.
Well, at least then it's justifiable.
At least like bare minimum.
Hey, we got this.
And like, and then, and then also I think that too it would quell a lot of these other places from, you know, doing dumb shit because like, hey, okay, you start some shit with us, we're gonna declare war. I think that does need to be in place. Not only that, like, we're taking that shit. That's my piece of the fucking courtyard now, bro. Yeah, you know. All right, well, I don't want to be like, we're legit be conquered by the American—
like, yeah, I don't know, dude. Like, I, I agree with you. Like, I think like, you know, if we are going to do shit like that, it's probably a good idea to get something for it, but I mean, they'll say safety and security, you know, and again, I'm not privy to the information that they're operating on.
I've heard some very interesting and diverse theories about why that— why strike then. And I've, you know, I've heard people saying that Israel leveraged them and said that they were going to use nukes unless we did something. But also, there are many other nuclear powers that could then just take that same playbook. So then we're just the bitch of the world, right? Like, you know what I mean? So I don't know how much weight that one actually has. I mean, it's really easy to say, you know, the legitimacy is, you know, Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. We are the American devil to them. Get it understood. Again, can we define the end state of maybe removing that regime and their ability to do so? Right. Like, cool. It's just at least, at least for me, I think what was the hardest thing for my generation of people that were in was not what they not why they went there, what they did during, was the difficulty in how we left, specifically Afghanistan. All of those phases, in my opinion, need to be clearly defined with an end state, and then you have to actually fucking do it.
Yeah.
And if we're not able or willing to do that, I think there's a real good argument to be had about whether or not we should participate in it in the first place.
1000%. That's a very logical, balanced way to look at things.
I think even to that argument too, though, it's like, you know, I keep trying to like like, you know, have a realistic, like, look at this, right? And it's like, you know, okay, me and your buddies, and then I like, hey Andy, hey Andy's gonna come over here and like beat your fucking ass.
Let's go.
But like, I feel like there would be— there should be like a legit—
well, why?
Why is he— why is he—
the first question, what's he pissed about?
Yeah, what's he want to beat my— oh, well, you know, I fucking— I went over there, I fucked with him a little bit, and I'm, you know, I'm gonna do this. So you should go beat his ass first before he beats your ass. But like, it's because like that, that's what's going on. That's exactly what's happening. Like, that does not make sense, you know what I'm saying? It's like, okay, so he's gonna beat my ass for what? Like, what did I do? Well, you know, I like, I like, I put some shit in this fucking Fiji water. I'm like, I'm sorry, I told him it was you. Yeah, yeah, but I told him, yeah, it doesn't make sense, man. I'm not with— now one of the big things that's happening on this topic right now though, um, is some allegations All right. And like, this is like, I mean, we might need some tinfoil here. Like, legit, is B.B. dead, bro? Like, that's the narrative happening right now. And I, and I like, I'll say this, like, you know, I feel like if he was tremendous, why would you think he was dead? Well, dude, there's a lot of stuff happening online and like, we talk about this too, right?
Like the AI, the, the, the advent of AI. I'm like, the more every day I'm starting to really like truly understand like that shit was intentionally placed at this moment in time in our lives because it is so hard to see through. Like, I think this is the new fog of war, bro. Like, it's so hard to see through what's real and what's not, you know. But it's narratives, right? Like, there's things that are pushing out there. And, uh, you know, again, I don't— I'm not gonna repost anything from like, you know, unverified sources. I want to go to the source. So I'm going to preface this with The videos that I've been pulling, they've come directly from Bibi's account.
What a headline.
Yeah. Netanyahu. Yeah, go ahead, read it, Andy.
Netanyahu responds to rumors of his own death. I added the own in that. Shares video getting coffee.
That's right. That's like, prove you're not dead. Can I take a white mocha latte, please? Like, we're in the middle of a fucking war.
Okay.
But yeah, so let's dive through this. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responds to rumors that circulated on social media claiming he was dead, sharing a video of himself getting a cup of coffee. Now, there's a couple of videos and a couple of series here. Again, I'm going to share a video that I took directly from Benjamin Netanyahu's verified X account, okay, that was posted. This is what started it all, okay? This was March 13th, um, and it was this clip, this video. Now, it's an 8-minute-long clip I've taken the first, I think, like minute and 10 seconds.
Okay. I have not seen this.
So I'm curious to see what this is. First for everybody. All right. Now it is, he is speaking in Hebrew. That's the language, right? Not translated. Doesn't matter. We're watching the video itself. Okay. And specifically his hands is what caught people's eyes and attention. So here's a clip for those who have not seen it. Let's check this out.
Historically, AI struggles with hands.
Anachu biamim historim, yameim shei rachmu betoldot Yisrael. Bemitzvah sha'agata hari, hasha'agash elanu, hol lechet umidgaberet. Anachu kotschi mitmishtara teror bi-Iran. Anachu pog'im ve'kotschi mitoset varo, achiz balab el vanon. Bishiluv z'ro'ot chasartakdim, ben Yisrael v'artzot Habrit, hesarnu hesegim atsumim. He's a game changer. He met Mahazana Kochod, Bambisar Hatichon, Vegame Eberlo. He's a game-alalu. Nevasesim et Mahamadash el Israel, kemahatzama hazaka me'ey pa'am. Vashenuya dramatiase, bakor shel anu, mulakor shel oyvenu, hu hamavteach, lavtachat ki umenu. Yumi molim ve'yumi urdim. Avaksha anach ufrim. Okay, hold on.
Okay, now I'm gonna magnify— all I'm doing, guys, for those— I'm mag— I'm gonna zoom in. Okay, we're gonna zoom in on the hands. Okay, now I'm not a biologist or a fucking veterinarian, all right, but the theme out there is that this is 6 fingers. Okay, it's 6 fingers is what they're saying.
So You just gonna put the blurriest picture ever up there?
No, I'm gonna replay it. I'm gonna replay it. All right.
Fuck.
No, I had to zoom out first. What the fuck was that? All right, we'll play.
Well, I'm just gonna play it right back from that spot one more time.
No, freeze it on the spot. Go back, go back like 5 frames. Okay, that looks normal.
Okay, oh shit, it was right there, dude. Hold on.
Unbelievable.
It's like, it's hard to fucking cut it right there, but it's when he's doing a lot of this movement, it does look weird.
Okay, it does look weird. I'm not a camera expert, but frame rate, lighting, like, there are—
sure, I got two chins right now, I get it.
You know what I mean? I can see where that, to me though, that's not where I see AI having struggled in the past. By the way, let me put this out there. I'm not a fucking tech guy.
Yeah.
All right. I don't develop AI. I'm a consumer of AI content and you can see what it's good at and what it's not good at. I mean, I'm open to partake in any good conspiracy from time to time.
Yeah.
To me, this one is a little bit more like I would need to know what's the camera settings at, man? Like, what are you— what are you pumping this out?
I thought there was a frame where he went like this and you could see there's a few.
It's 8 minutes long, but this is like a recurring theme.
It seems that when it's in motion, which to me might be—
well, there's one too where he does.
That's not convincing enough for me.
There's one that he does like this and like there's an extra digit here.
Well, let's see that one.
You know, that's way more—
we got two other clips of this because he's like— and not only was it this clip, 2 that went out, there was also, uh, clips because I think we talked about this last week too, off, off air obviously. I'm like, hey dude, like this, this narrative is going along. There was like clips of like him being pulled out of rubble or still shot images of him being pulled out of fucking rubble, right?
I did see something like that.
Okay, all right. It's, it's been— it's because he's been absent, there hasn't been no press briefings, things like that. So the narrative's been bubbling. Well, he finally responds, okay? Um, he responds with this coffee cafe, they call it the Café Gate.
Go back. Look at his face here.
Mm-hmm.
Look underneath his eyes and shit here. Mm-hmm. Okay, now go to the next video.
Oh, I got the side-by-side here for you. I mean, it looks—
he looks different. He looks younger. He looks like he's lost weight.
I think he has a Snapchat filter on.
Yeah, yeah, maybe that's what it is. It doesn't look the same, dude.
Doesn't look the same. All right, well, so here's the cafe video. So this is what he responded back with, and there are some English translations over this one. Now let's check this out.
This is his official account as well. Okay, telling us I got 5 fingers, like responding directly to it.
All right, now here's the thing.
It's not just internet fucking far-right fucking Looney Tunes, okay? You got government officials, like heads of state, like legit government elected officials of other countries also calling this shit out. One specifically, Turhan Kumez, who is a member of parliament for Turkey, He tweeted this out with a series of 5 legitimate questions responding specifically to the cafe, the cafe video that was posted. He says, 1, if citizens are reportedly confined to shelters under wartime conditions, how does someone casually travel to a cafe nearly an hour from Tel Aviv? How's that possible? Okay, second question, is that cafe genuinely operating during a conflict and why choose a mountaintop location one of the most exposed places imaginable, if the threat environment is truly severe. Third question is, look closely at the details. The coffee cup is filled to the brim, even overflowing with foam, yet it never spills while being carried. It's sipped from, but the level barely seems to change. Fourth question is, near the register, there's a poster reading, quote, 70 years of independence of our small and heroic state. Israel marked its 70th anniversary in 2018. Has that sign really been hanging there for 8 years?
And the 5th question is, when something meant to reassure the public raises more questions than answers, transparency matters. Come on, BB, instead of staged moments, step forward and face real questions in a proper press conference, which has not been done in almost a week, which would be the easiest way to put it to bed. The easiest way, right? These are produced video clips that you're pushing out. Now today it escalated one level further, okay?
Go back to the other one. I want to see which one.
The coffee one? Yeah.
I think he just took a fake sip. Like, that one to me is the least compelling of those points.
Go ahead and play it again.
Cut.
Fine.
Coffee doesn't move in the cup when you raise it. You own a fucking coffee store. He's got a scandalous latte art.
You guys need to take it back.
Do you think that looks normal?
Yes.
Really? Yeah.
Okay.
It's moving around a little bit. And it did. I mean, like, you can tell it's not like he was taking a swig.
I'm no coffee expert. I'm not the fucking coffee sommelier like you, bro.
So he— I mean, I have coffee people that work for me. I know that you actually work behind the counter.
I know that you're a cultured coffee connoisseur.
I do drink coffee and love it very much. However, if you ever at the shop and I'm making your coffee, I don't know if I would drink it. I have other people who are actually trained to do so. It does go down a little bit when you can tell.
Okay.
I mean, again, of all the things listed, that one's not really blowing my hair back, but I get it.
Yeah. Well, there's one more today. Okay. That has come out. He posted again. This was today because the coffee video is actually from yesterday. Right. So he posted this out today. Um, uh, where he posts another video that is allegedly of him trying to prove that, uh, he's alive. Um, and apparently he's walking, um, and talking to people, um, in an outlook in the Jerusalem Hills. All right, so this is the second video he's uploaded. Again, there's no public press conference. He's not talking to actual reporters or taking questions, right? These are, you know, uh, assumingly staged interactions, right? Or planned media engagements. Okay. But there's something really off about this one.
I saw this one.
There's something really off about this one. Okay.
I have not seen this.
Let's check the clip.
Why is that guy wearing a mask? Right? That is weird.
You see it?
I was looking at the dog.
Okay.
All right. I'm a dog fan.
Jewish dog.
Yeah, it is a Jewish dog. I didn't even realize they had Jewish dogs.
I think that was a lie. Oh yeah.
I thought he was talking about us. Here's the thing. It's about his hand again because AI cannot do hands very well.
The one on the chair?
Okay, no, the one closest to us.
Watch his ring.
He's wearing a ring. Okay, check this out.
I'm assuming it's a wedding ring. Yeah, ring finger. Yep.
Okay. All right, so ring's there. No ring.
Come on.
Ring's back now.
Yeah.
Fuck, that's fake. 100%.
I can see it being fake. And also, you know, not all recordings— that looks like it's off of a cell phone camera.
Come on, man. This ain't fucking 1997, bro.
We got good pixelation, bro.
I mean, I will say the first two videos, I can't tell. Yeah, that video looks fake. And it's weird, but it makes sense how he's trying to present it, present it like casual. Nothing's happening here. Yeah, everything's good.
The guy of the people.
Yeah, I'm here, we're having coffee in Israel, nothing's happening, it's all good. You know, that's his ego, bro.
I mean, you could— like, this is again, this is the— I took this clip right here.
Yep, straight from him.
Okay, posted on his account. Ring is there. I go one frame up, ring's not there. It ain't there.
Yeah, that's weird.
It is weird for sure. You know what's interesting too is if you on his side, you know, the one where he's doing the speech in his suit, crop it above the hands so it doesn't even give people something to look at, right? Like if this is an attempt to that—
well, bro, you think that they're fucking stupid just like our government. Yeah, bro, this is not the same dude. Okay, that is, that is okay. That's the look of someone who's lost 30 pounds. And that's—
that's on here is 3 days.
Listen, this is what I do for a fucking living. Let's remember this, okay? That guy's face on the right is what someone's face looks like after they lose 30 pounds. That's a 30-pound weight loss. And those are supposed to be back-to-back days. So it's off. Yeah. You look— look, he looks tired there. He looks fresh in the other one. You know?
Yeah.
They don't look the same. That does not look the same to me.
It certainly doesn't look the same. Why? Yeah, I don't know.
Well, thought experiment. I mean, like, what would—
okay, so I wanted my face to thin out that much by tomorrow. I could not fucking do it with a filter.
You could.
Yeah, true, true.
But I mean, even in that, right, because you have proper— you got propaganda both ways, right? Even Iran's using AI fucking shit and posting shit out like they're fucking killing it, right? Who knows? Like the fog of war. Is that fog is so fucking thick right now, it's hard to know what's, what's what, right? I'm trying to like, I always like when I see these situations, I try to think what would be the point, right? So if let's say, let's, let's say for, for, for sake of the argument, he's, he's out. Okay. Why not just say he's out? What would be the, what would be the reason to, to try to keep him alive, to keep his image alive? What would be the point of that?
It would have to be so they could get their shit in order, right, for a succession plan or whatever was going to be next.
I mean, most of the world hates Israel right now. Okay, so we got to keep that in mind. All right. There's not many countries out there that are like, yeah, Israel, except fucking a small part of our country. Okay.
Yeah.
If he was dead and people found out about it, they would see that as some sort of victory. For sure. The world would. I don't know. I don't know what, why they wouldn't want that.
Yeah.
I don't know. I'm not putting it together.
That's what I'm like. I'm trying to like, I'm trying to argue the opposite side of like, I mean, what would be the point? Guys.
But like, then I'm also like, it could be morale for their own troops potentially.
It's so short-term though. I mean, how long— let's say it is a facade, right? How long could it possibly feasibly go? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's definitely an expiration window on when that's not going to be the case. Then you're going to have to explain what the fuck you were doing and why for so long.
Bro, we just got our country run by a fucking auto pen dude for 4 fucking years.
It's true. That's true.
Allegedly. Well, I'm joking.
Yeah, man. Yeah, that—
yeah, I don't know, dude. Like, I don't know. I'm sure I'll come to the conclusion, but I'm not right now.
I can't. Yeah, it's hard to put together. It's hard to piece together. Now, to your point of secession though, it is, you know, it is stated that if Bibi Netanyahu is dead, then, uh, Trump would be the default leader of America, uh, if that's the case, because, uh, that's the way the rules work. That's how I didn't make the rules, guys. I'm just saying that's what that's You know, that's the secession plan. You know, dude, I don't know.
You know, also, too, something that nobody's talking about that I think is an actual thing is, okay, let's just fucking play what if. Okay, let's just say for sure, which I think most people believe this anyway, that Bibi's calling all the shots. I believe that.
Yeah, I believe.
And I think most people think he's calling a lot. I think most people outside the MAGA sphere believe that. If Trump— okay, it's like this, all right? The three of us are all friends, and you got some shit on me, and you start like becoming not a friend but kind of holding it over my head. But you know that DJ and I are backing you up. All the time. So you get free to go run your mouth and shit, but I'm fucking tired of it. But I can't get out of it because you've got some shit on me.
Yeah, I got the juice, right?
So we go— you say, hey guys, we're going to go start a fight with those guys and we're going to fucking hit those guys and then we're going to pull out and they're going to fucking kill you. Okay. This could be seen as a way— I'm not saying it is, but it could be a way for Trump to get the power back that he doesn't have right now.
Reset the power balance. That's right. Strike him just enough but leave capability where they'd have— like I said, it doesn't surprise me when they strike in the areas with which they can reach. They can't reach the US, so they're striking where they can.
So you pound Iran, you get Iran to fucking fight back against Israel. All right. They do tremendous damage to Israel. Then Trump says, now they don't have the power over Trump. It's possible. It's possible.
It's possible. Let's check in with the chat.
By the way, that's not me saying that's happening. I'm saying it's possible.
Yeah.
No one's talking about it.
Yeah. Let's see what the chat's got to say.
Oh, I'm compromised.
Yeah. Okay. That's what does that mean? Wait, hold on. Who said that?
Johnny Voice.
Where?
Fuck Johnny.
Okay.
But real quick, Rich, Richie Rich. Okay. This is a real— I forgot, dude. I totally forgot that this happened too. Right. So a few days ago, Scott Bessant, was doing an interview, right? And mid-interview, I don't forget who it was with. It was with some, you know, you know, legacy media outlet. And literally during the interview, he gets stopped. He's like, hey, President Trump's on the phone for you.
Like, you need to see this.
Yeah. Okay.
That guy, Matt, what do you mean seriously?
Oh, because I didn't—
I, uh, is he talking about me or probably me?
Because I— the last video where I'm like, I don't know, man, it might be on camera.
Um, but yeah, and then so then Scott comes back to the interview, dude, and he's like shaking, you know what I'm saying? Like he's like, he's, he's different. His whole tone. Yeah, like it's different. Like he just got told, hey, you know, something really bad just fucking happened. Yeah, it was weird. It was weird. Thank you, Richie.
Hey man, like I said, guys, like I don't know, like these are, these is, this is just me saying the possibilities.
Okay.
It is tough when they just put Andy in there. I'm going to assume if it's negative, it's towards you.
Scroll down.
I would like to accept the compliments just to feed my ego.
Z, watch for that guy to reply when he said serious. I don't know what he's talking about, but see when he comments back.
Where's Matt at?
Drew Kissick says he got the call. Who got the call?
I think they're talking about Scott Benson.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What's Scott, the guy's role?
Uh, not, uh, yeah, Treasury Secretary.
Huh.
What would— okay, just trying to think inside of the world.
You got to notify the whole cabinet, right? Yeah. If there's like, you know, major implications like that, that would have— that would be a major notification, right?
Yeah. Listen, man, look, how it appears— this is something that people have a really hard time understanding. What you are being fed through the media is not actually what's going on ever.
It's not even—
they can't tell you what's going on.
They can't.
They can't tell you, hey, this is actually what's happening. You guys understand that, right? So that was all we can do is speculate. That's why the show is called Speculation.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Yeah, man. I don't know. I don't know. I, I don't know.
It could be something. I mean, like, those definitely look edited, but it could—
I know this body double. I think Trump looks like shit right now.
Yeah, like physically.
Yes, he looks like dog shit.
How old is he?
He's like 80, 79.
Yeah.
Okay. And he, he, he looks the kind of dog shit that you look when you are under ridiculous amounts of stress and pressure. I've never seen him like respond that way. And it makes me wonder, like, okay, well, what, what is— what's actually going on here?
Yeah, you know, that office nukes people. I mean, just look at before and afters of, of every president. Yeah, man, at least in the last 20 years. And I'm not saying that something, uh, incredible isn't happening, but that office in and of itself ages people in dog years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. The president's plane went in a loop for 4 hours near the water and went to Germany. Definitely stabilized him enough to move. Hmm.
Oh, he's talking about the Israeli presidential plane?
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
God, I love that comment. The Dow's over 50K. Why do we care? Yeah. I could not believe she said that.
Oh, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hold on. Andy has any info with boots on the ground or say new deployments in the region, daughter Navy. I have no connection to, I have no inside beta, no inside spit. I have some friends who are still in. I'm not hearing anything on boots on the ground. And honestly, for me, I hope that we don't. That country, you could look at where the geography is, the topography. We've experimented with 20 years in terrain like that. It is, uh, Terrible. It's not good.
It's a tough place.
The test results—
why it hasn't been conquered in fucking 12,000 years.
The test results are back on that one. We don't have to wonder what it's going to look like.
Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
Yeah. Well, guys, let us know what you guys think.
Now, why do they call that Yahoo BB?
Telefono.
Yeah. Oh, that's fat.
That's a Google. Google that shit.
Google that. Let me see.
I didn't know you were a fed.
Yeah, I am. I'm Illuminati. That's federal.
Do you get a badge with that?
It's a secret tattoo.
All right.
Yeah.
They taught me these cool hand signs, though.
Don't you have to get your yacht to Monaco and gingerly touch tips on, like, the fifth weekend of every month?
Yes. Okay. Yeah. It's not gay. Okay.
So they say they go tips of the yacht. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. They say we do this thing. It's called docking. You ever heard of it? I have.
They say it's a childhood nickname. It's derived from his first name, which is Benjamin. It's, I guess, how you say Benjamin is how you say his name.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So BB. Yeah.
Yeah. So, so the theory is I'm Illuminati because I talk so much shit, but nobody ever fucks with me.
Hmm.
And I have all this money for no reason.
And people definitely don't.
Yeah.
It could be that I ground my entire life away for fucking 30 years. No, no.
Nobody wants to hear that.
Yeah.
It's the overnight 30-year success.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Andy, show us the extra 4 fingers.
People like your hand signs. Clearly, this is something you've done before.
Oh, yes. Every show I have to let them know.
Oh, yeah, man. Guys, jump into this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. That being said, let's keep cruising, shall we? Time to talk about the Nuggets. Yeah. Yeah, you guys excited?
The Nuggets, you guys.
Hey dude, they— Nuggets are fucking wilding right now.
Nugget please.
How are you even talking about— Oh, you'll see shortly. But, uh, let me ask you a question. We'll start off with this. All right, we got headline 2. Okay, uh, how was spring break for you guys growing up? Was it cool?
Yeah, yeah, it was cool.
Yeah, I mean, I did— I didn't go to college, so I went twice.
Spring break, it was awesome. I went once to Panama City. It's fucking awesome.
In college or high school?
I went to— I went to Panama City my senior year of high school.
I didn't get to do anything.
It was awesome.
No spring breaks. We had like—
my dad made me work for him on my spring break.
We had like 9 dudes in like a fucking— like a Days Inn. Like it was—
it was—
but it was fun, dude.
That sounds terrible.
Yeah, it was awesome.
The lodging situation is not optimal.
Expand the context.
And you had—
you got to say more than just 9 dudes in a fucking hotel room.
Like what? It was just— I like it.
That's what I prefer.
What's wrong with that?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, I had to work during my spring break.
Then we went to Acapulco one year.
Okay.
That was fucking awesome. That was in college.
That's Florida.
Acapulco, Mexico.
You are joking right now.
Yeah.
Andy, I'm black.
Yeah.
Acapulco doesn't have to do with your understanding of geography.
I've never—
specifically Florida.
Who the fuck says, oh yeah, I'm going to Acapulco?
The Acapulco trip was so awesome. bro, that like I like cried when I had to go home. Like, that's why how fucking awesome it was.
Yeah, I don't even know where that is. Yeah, I mean, I know Mexico.
I told all my friends, like, we got real fucked up the last day. I'm like, I'm not fucking going home. And they're like, yes, you are. Like, no, I'm not. And I meant it, bro.
Yeah, I live here now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, do black people only know about Cancun, bro? That's it. I just discovered anyway, anyway, years ago.
So spring break.
Yeah, spring break is hot right now. Yeah, it is, it is spring break and the nuggets are messing it up. Gunfire at crowded Florida beach sends sunbathers scattering, uh, scattering as violence erupts during spring break. Um, yeah, Florida is hot, it's hot right now. So what happened, nuggets? All right, let's see it, let's dive into it. Wild video has surfaced of thousands of terrified spring break beachgoers fleeing the sand in Florida as gunshots rang out over the weekend. At least 4 completely separate shootings have been reported in Daytona Beach since Friday as scores of spring breakers descended on the city. No one was injured, um, in this specific video, uh, for this most recent shooting according to authorities. But an hour later, a person was shot outside a nearby Crunch Fitness. 2 shootings were reported beachside on Saturday, cops said. Um, so I got the clip. Uh, let's check this clip out. Look at that. There's a gunshot. There's the scatter. Kind of Daytona. And you see this boy, man, like that sun must be bright down there.
Everybody's tan. How'd everybody get so fucking tan nighttime?
It was really dark out there. Shit, man.
No sunscreen there.
I must be close to the equator. Yeah, dude, uh, they're messing it up, man. Uh, I mean, listen, they got to get it under control. Um, there was another one, uh, the one that they were talking about outside of Crunch Fitness. That started off as—
why are we bringing guns to the fucking beach, bro?
How do you bring guns?
Can't we just bring— go to the beach as Americans and be be cool. How?
Look at the—
look at the freeze frame.
Yeah, I'm just saying, like, yeah, we can't go— we can't go to the fucking beach without our guns. For real. I mean, I can't, but like, you guys— you guys got to bring yours too.
Oh man. Uh, yeah, dude, I mean, it's insane. It's insane. Um, and this has been— this has been like— this ain't just new for this year. This has been happening almost every year for the last like 4 or 5 years. Uh, specifically, this was, uh— here's another clip. This was, uh, Uh, not beachside necessarily, but this was, you know, they talked about it outside of a Crunch Fitness somewhere downtown. Check this clip out. This is wild. Viewer discretion.
Yeah, somebody's dead.
Oh shit, that guy shot. Okay, I see it.
Fuck.
Yep.
And dude, listen, it's not even just the human nuggets that are problems. There's, there's even the humanoid ones that are now causing a ruckus. They're even getting locked up.
Oh, shit. Well, why the fuck is there a robot? That's a Terminator, bro.
And it's a black one.
Did you fucking— did you watch that clip I sent you about Terminator?
No, no, I see. I haven't watched the movie.
Yeah, he's never seen it. Or Terminator 2.
I haven't seen it. We are—
we're in it.
We are 2 slices of pie away from that thing being a documentary, bro.
Palantir. Is fucking Skynet. Like, bro, you know what they're doing? They're putting AI legitimately, putting AI in weapons systems to where they can info, intel, target, and execute without any humans having any say.
Yeah, that's what we talked about that with Anthropic, because that's what Anthropic was like. Yeah, we're not doing that.
Yeah. And then Palantir CEO is on the internet being like, you guys are coming at me. I'm the motherfucker. I'm the motherfucker that's protecting you. Well, who gave you that right, motherfucker?
Yeah, right. There's a God complex, dude.
Bro, it's bad.
I don't think so. The way I've heard this described is, you know, there's human in the loop where the human is making the decision in the kill chain, human on the loop where the AI or mechanism checks with the human and the human gives it the final okay, human out of the loop, which is what you guys are talking about. Fully autonomous.
Yes.
Targeting, executing the kill chain cycle.
They're presenting that in their presentations like, this is what we can do.
How do you come back from that?
You don't.
And then so then it becomes a cascading argument. So then how do you combat that? Well, we need to have somebody to make decisions even faster. So then you're fighting—
bro, bro, listen, man, we are like seriously, like really close to legitimately Skynet Terminator scenario.
How have you not watched this movie? Andy, several times.
They fucking— the AIs. Do you understand? Do you see Zuckerberg? Zuckerberg last week, that what he bought? No, Zuckerberg bought the social platform that the AI bots use to talk to each other.
Oh dear God.
Okay, so there's a social platform now where all the AI bots get on there and talk, and Zuckerberg bought it to add to Meta. But like, bro, these things are like communicating, they're creating their own language, they're like, dude, this is hyper dangerous and real shit. And then you got the guys, you know, I'm sure the Palantir guy, he's a fucking smart motherfucker, bro. He's brilliant. But like we talk about all the time, just because you can doesn't mean you should. And now it's like, oh fuck, like what is this going to look like in 5 years?
I mean, I think right now what's saving us, especially well, not especially, but the humanoid robot. I don't know what they're called.
Yeah, they're, they're primitive.
They're primitive.
Yeah, but not for long.
That's what I'm saying. That's right now.
Yeah. And so that's why I argue with people because blue-collar people are like, oh, I'll never take our job.
Yeah.
Today.
Yeah.
What happens, dude? They're building houses out of 3D printing. They have robots that put shingles on a roof. They have robots that put tile down. You ever put tile down?
Yeah.
It's a pretty fucking intricate process. Like, you have to be skilled to do it.
Yeah.
They got robots that do it. So like, dude, this shit is coming for everybody. Maybe not today, but it's coming. And like, dude, wait until all of our police officers are these fucking robots. And it's like ED-209 from fucking RoboCop. You know, you see RoboCop?
Of course I have. Have you seen RoboCop? Not the new one.
The fucking— the fucking ED-209.
This is how we're working.
If we're getting— if this is where we're going, I'm getting one. I mean, let's be real, I would get several.
Yeah, there's a good thing about that though. I would say with the humanoid police robots, like, they couldn't argue discrimination because like they could be discriminated towards humans. Well, I mean, yeah, I'm talking about Black people though. We couldn't argue. I—
they probably could be coded to be really discriminatory towards whatever.
I mean, certainly they certainly don't tell the truth about history. You try to go— try to go look up the history of certain genetic and, you know, racial people, and it will not give you any history on them. It will fucking lie to your face.
What's this about, Z?
Listen, we're in deep shit. It's kind of exciting, though. I'll be real.
Montana, huh?
I'm just saying, like, I never thought, like, this shit was really going to happen when I was alive.
It's going to happen in our lifetime. Yeah, I know, but I kind of like it because I'm like, it is a good spot.
Like, maybe we could fucking, you know, maybe we get to live out our fantasies of like post-apocalyptic fucking Mad Max, like gang warfare.
I don't think they were very clean. They would, you know, not a lot of showers.
Yeah, that's the one thing I don't like. I don't like that dust. Oh, but God, it is what it is.
Yeah, it's accelerating at a pace that I don't understand.
Me neither.
And if it stays on that trajectory or anything close to it, I don't know. I mean, it used to be you could say, oh, oh, like if you go back, you've probably never seen this movie either, Back to the Future.
I've seen that.
Okay, that was— well, dude, I don't know that RoboCop was actually—
I get it.
You can't argue about Oh, it's all Back to the Future. Like, you haven't seen fucking T2. Yeah.
No.
Well, we, we're already past the year that Back to the Future was set in.
That's right.
You know, and with the futuristic hoverboards, which honestly—
2016. Do you know what happened in 2016? Obama? No. Do you want to know some fucking crazy shit?
Yeah.
You know, a crazy fact.
Don't ask me crazy.
All right, check this shit out. In the fucking movie Back to the Future 2, where he goes into the future.
Yep.
Not Back to the Future. That is 2016. One of the headlines from that movie is the Cubs win the World Series because the Cubs were so bad when they made the movie. Guess who won the World Series in that year?
I have to assume the Cubs.
The fucking Cubs.
All right.
That's fucking crazy.
Well, that was our best guess of what the future was going to look like based off the technology of our time.
Yeah.
And none of that shit happened. Yeah, the flying cars, the hoverboards. So who knows?
Put some money on the Cubbies.
Oh, no worries.
Back to the Future Part II. In Back to the Future Part II, Marty and Doc travel to the future to save his kids. While there, Marty spots a headline announcing the Chicago Cubs as World Series champions. To his shock, an old man confirms it's true. Wait a minute, Cubs win World Series? Against Miami? Back in 1989, when the film was made, it was a laughable joke since the Cubs hadn't won a single championship since 1908. But in 2016, just a year after the movie's timeline, the Cubs won the World Series in real life.
Was it against Miami? I was going to ask the same thing. That would be like, okay, that's enough.
Yeah, I don't think it was.
That's crazy.
So we can't even forecast the future. I mean, that was so wildly inaccurate. The vast majority of it didn't happen, but now we're accelerating Past that, we're landing space rockets, which I'm a huge fan of. Yeah, by the way. Yeah, but holy shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're fucked. Just be honest.
I think so too. I think so too.
I think we got to try to make as much money as we can now.
What if the robot comes to take it, though?
Yeah, I don't know.
You have to deploy your fleet of robots against—
Right. That's why you got to have money. Yeah.
Fuck, man.
Oh God, back to the scurrying crowd.
You know what I would like though? I would like some like real like, like Transformers though. I think that would be cool. Like, that'd be sick, you know what I'm saying? You just roll around in Bumblebee, like I'd be inside of him. Like, that'd be cool.
It's a weird sentence.
You want to be inside a dude?
No.
Yeah, it's a very weird sentence.
I just be inside of him.
I'm Bumblebee, bro. Like the fuck you said?
Bubble butt is what he said. All right. He said, oh, bubble butts, I want to be inside of that. That's what I heard.
All right, guys.
All right, so anyway, um, the, the Black teens are causing problems at spring break.
They got to chill out. Okay, you got to chill out. It ain't gonna be safe for nobody.
Chill out, nuggets.
Yeah, that's right.
You don't need no— you don't need no guns at the beach.
That's right, man.
Everybody chill.
Just go build some sandcastles and shit.
Get in a fistfight if you have to.
It's no big deal. Yeah, I mean, okay, that is a counterargument though, right? Like, that shit didn't happen back then, as if like nobody fought in spring break.
Like, oh, he always fought. People fought.
Yeah, didn't fucking turn to guns. That goes back to like our original conversation, dude. It's like just being able to fucking— well, just lash it out and be done.
Y'all don't fight real well. What do you mean by that? I mean, it takes 4 of you to do what, you know, a normal fight person would do.
That's true. Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, I don't like to see the ganging up stuff. Like, if 2—
and I'm not saying there's not exceptions, like Jon Jones, who would probably beat the shit out of anybody on the earth. True.
If it's Jon Jones, you got to bring the fucking cavalry, bro.
You got to shoot John Jones. Yeah.
Or, or don't mouth off to Jon Jones.
That's it.
That's smart.
You know? Yeah.
Smart.
Like, if two guys want to sit there and they want to bang it out with their fists, I don't have— like, again, I'm a total fan of the mutual combat.
You know what I like about this, though? It's happening kind of like we're starting to see these social media people go to boxing and do these boxing matches. Like that one guy, Gypsy, the Gypsy Crusader, just fought that dude.
You seen his stuff?
No.
Oh yeah, well, that probably means you're still a good dude. Yeah, if you see this shit, you, you're a fan.
I thought it was all satire at first.
No, no, it's real. Yeah, it's real.
What are your thoughts? The, you know, the guns to the beach— I don't remember when I was growing up, I don't remember a single— I remember one day in high school a guy brought a Phillips head screwdriver. Yeah.
And that was A big deal.
The cops showed up.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
No, I mean, I—
Yeah.
To the point where I remember this.
Yeah, that's crazy.
The desensitized nature people have to violence and the fact that they are exposed to it. There's something there. And I'm not blaming this all on cell phones, but we're now also living in a world where if you want to, you could convince yourself that, oh yeah, I need a gun at the beach. No, it's not that big, big of a deal if I fire off a few rounds. I watch people do it online all the time.
Yeah. There's some, there's some difference there, which especially if you're a young kid from the fucking ghetto or the inner city or whatever, and it's that, that's the culture of the neighborhood, you know what I'm saying?
Like, this is what it is.
You don't have a lot of male leadership. You don't have good dudes pulling these kids around and say, hey, man, this ain't the way to do that shit.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? You don't have that. And that's, you know, by design, they've removed the black father from the household. And when you remove the father from any household, whether it be white, black, whatever, you're going to have those problems. Yes, exactly. You end up leaving it to the internet to raise these kids. And it's unfortunate. I mean, we joke about it and shit, but it's sad. Yeah, it's fucking sad, man. I wish you could grab these kids and be like, hey, man, you got nothing to prove by doing this shit. Like, you know how you win? You go out, you fucking make something of yourself. There's a saying, you know, the best revenge is success. You know, like, You don't have to do this, man. And by the way, just because someone disrespects you, so what? Yeah, fucking cares, bro. People disrespect everybody all the time. You don't have to fuck them.
Yeah, you don't have to make a decision that'll have consequences for the rest of your life. Oh, you know, my dad's on somebody else's life.
My dad taught me I had a, I had a, I had, I've had a number of friends commit suicide over the years, right?
Same. Yeah, right.
Yeah. And even before, like when I was young growing up, you know, you get to be in your mid-40s, bro, you're going to have a few people, you know, that have done this. And my dad, you know, he always said the same thing. He's like, never make a permanent decision off temporary problem.
I love it.
Yeah, never. And like, dude, that's, that's— look, bro, we need some leadership in the communities. That's what we need. It's starting to get better, I think. But it has a long way to go.
For sure. For sure. Guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the commentary. That being said, let's keep cruising. Headline 3.
You know what I don't like? Here's what I don't like. I can appreciate people telling the truth about what's going on in the Black communities. Okay. But what I don't like is that when people say shit like, oh, they're just a bunch of fucking animals, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No, dude. These people didn't— look, I'm the first person that says it doesn't matter where you come from, doesn't matter if your actions write a check, you need to be accountable for that. But you can't expect people of any race to behave in a civilized manner when there's no men to lead. It's just not going to happen. It's an essential function of civilization. So, you know, I don't like that kind of shit. You know what I mean? I just— I don't— I think we have to do a good job We can laugh and we can joke and we can say shit and, you know, it's all good. But if we're being real, we need male leadership more than ever. And we need men to stand the fuck up and be like, hey. And we need to remember that as polarizing as the world is, most people are still the same.
Most people want the same things. They're very— they're much more alike than they are different. And the— it takes discipline to keep that in mind when things are going to shit. And I think everybody should remember that.
Yeah, it's real, man. Uh, guys, third and final headline, uh, headline number 3. This is, uh, this is an interesting one. So there's another narrative I would like both of your guys' opinion on that's been building up. I don't know if it's intentional, I don't know if it's strategic, but there is a building anti-Muslim narrative that is popping up right now, specifically in the country, in the United States, right? Um, you got the fears of the sleeper cells, you got the fears of You know, you got Mondame up in New York. There's a lot of interesting things that are happening. There's a real narrative that's starting to build up. Um, and it's not just here in the United States either. I mean, we got the EU, we got France, you got all— it's, it's everywhere, right? The joke is, you know, you got Muhammad, he's fucking everywhere, right? Um, and it gets— fuel gets added to that fire by things like this. Woke Canadian school bans children from eating in its cafeteria and lunchroom to avoid offending Muslim students during Ramadan. Okay, shut it down. Okay, so this happened. Let's dive into this a little bit.
All right, a Canadian school has sparked outrage after it designated no food zones at certain times inside its cafeteria in order to be inclusive to Muslim children who are fasting for Ramadan. Lunch areas at Fairview School in Calgary have been named food-free to support students undertaking the religious fast, according to an email sent by administrators. The email informed parents that the cafeteria was a, quote, no food space during the first half of lunch for younger pupils in grades 4 to 6. Children in grades 7 to 9 would be banned from eating food inside their lunchroom for the full hour-long break, according to the email. It's unclear where the non-fasting students would be able to eat as an alternative. As of 2024, Fairview School has 9— 911— 900— oh man, I didn't even catch that one. 911 students. I'm sorry, guys. Students enrolled up to the 9th grade. Ramadan started on February 17th, will end on March 18th. Practicing Muslims do not eat food or drink water during sunlight hours for the month and celebrate at the end with the Festival of Eid. So here's the screenshot of the email that was sent out. So kids who are in 4th to 6th grade, you know, the first half of lunch they can't eat inside the cafeteria.
They can get the final, you know, 30 minutes or whatever it is. And then grades 7 through 9, the lunchroom will be a no food space for the entire lunch hour.
So they can't eat.
Correct.
Now, so they're forcing Ramadan on students that are not Muslim. Great.
We got to be inclusive. Got to be inclusive.
That's not it. That's not inclusive.
Yeah.
Now, you know, if there's inclement weather days because that's exclusive to the fucking majority.
That's right. That's right. Learning Commons will be a no food space for all students in grades 4 through 9. Thank you for your continued— and like, there's no, there's no like—
so what is a— who's on the board here and who's the principals? And what are these? Are these, are these Muslim people?
I, I think I saw— actually, I'm glad you asked that because I got the article and I think one of the ladies— yeah, the print— this is the principal of the school here.
Shocking.
Okay, super shocking. I mean, that's like— now I don't know how different like Canadian Karens are from like our Karens.
For you guys listening, she's a white middle-aged woman.
Don't forget the Labradoodle.
Yeah, with the Labradoodle. That's almost like a— that's a guarantee.
She's a fucking woke warrior.
Yeah. Yeah. Now here's the other thing. So the population of that, uh, Calgary, of the town itself, 45% Christian according to census records. The Board of Education noted that it had 10,000 non-Canadian students registered to join the school.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, we were really surprised. It's fucking Canada.
It is Canada.
Canada has been conquered. Canada just has. Okay. It's been culture. It's been conquered by the fucking woke retards.
Yeah.
Okay. And you know, it's Canada. It doesn't surprise me.
Yeah. Well, and we also whooped their ass, like, for the U.S. Olympics. I mean, we really missed their ass and everything.
This year, Canada is, is cooked. Yeah, it's done.
Put a fork in it.
I told you, I told, I told the Canadians when they did that trucker convoy in 2020, I said, finish the job, finish the job. And they didn't. And you know what they did right after that? They took everybody's guns. They said guns are illegal.
We got blue balls now.
Yeah.
Yeah, now obviously comments have been outraged over this. Uh, Neil says this: I completely agree, religion is a private matter. Let them fast and stay away from lunchrooms. This is doing too much. Muslims literally don't care if you eat in front of them during Ramadan. Which, that's a whole nother argument, right?
Like, I'm sure Muslims are realizing that this is creating anti-Muslim narratives for sure.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? But like, Z's fasting now, like, I mean What are we doing? You know what I'm saying? They don't, like, they don't really care. Like, I mean, like, it's just, it doesn't make sense, dude. And these are fucking kids, dude. Like, fourth, fourth grade. How old are you? Fourth grade. What is that? Young.
10.
You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, what?
Doesn't this end up like leading towards nihilism? Because if you, if your whole thing is you want to be inclusive of everybody, then you're nothing. Well, you can't support any one thing over the other, so you can't stand for anything. So what do you actually believe in?
Well, that's the point. That's, that's the, that's the World Economic Forum, uh, agenda. It's to remove any sort of, uh, nationalism that might exist in a country so that we can have a one-world government. And they do that through demoralization of, you know, customs. Remember, like, for the last, uh, I don't know, dozen years or so, you know, Christmastime, it was always Merry Christmas. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. And then it became Happy Holidays.
Yeah.
Then it became the Washington talking about Kwanzaa, which is made-up shit. Okay. Like those things, the language is the weapon and people don't realize to what degree. So when they, when they shame you for saying Merry Christmas, that's not about like, I'm offended. That's about creating a scenario where you don't believe in Christmas as much because you're not saying it anymore. It's offensive, right? Think about the American flag when Kaepernick did his kneel-down shit. And then we had all these people in the country start to see the American flag as a bad thing, not a good thing, right? And that's where the division starts to happen. So then you bring in millions and millions, tens of millions of people through the border that don't really believe and anything that America stands for. Now you've got a cultural movement happening to remove all of the things that matter to Americans or Canadians or any other country that may be part of the World Economic Forum agenda. So Klaus Schwab writes books about this, you know. So a lot of this is about— yes, it's about removing every single thing that we would hold customary to our countries in favor of a globalist pro-human agenda.
Dude, I mean, things that you believe in should be hard, right? Like fasting, there's a reason that you do that. And I'm like, obviously I don't want kids to go hungry, but the parents of those children who are raising them in that faith can explain the reason that they're doing it and the hardship from it and what you're supposed to get from it. That's wild to me.
Yeah, it is wild. And it's— it's— listen, it's the delusion of culture intentionally. It's destabilization. The moral— it's demoralization moves on destabilization, which moves on to nothing matters. We should all join together and be, you know, citizens of humanity.
Yeah. Soaks, man.
Yeah. So you got Madami sitting on the floor and it's fucking you know, office.
Mm-hmm.
Dude, fuck this guy.
Now, what type of margin did he win by?
Oh, that's a good question. Let's fact-check with Andy Stumpf.
Oh, I just feel like these things are— when you look at them from a distance, they can be the answer to the test you're getting ready to take for other people to take a look at this and say, hey, what would this look like if we were to try to change course and vote for these?
Oh dude, it's super close. 50.78% of the vote.
Okay, so coin toss almost.
That's crazy.
Well, I think the problem was they had two other candidates that ate up the other side.
Yeah, Cuomo. And so, yeah, yeah, I mean, the ends—
the, the answer to these tests are out there. The, the question is, are people paying attention to it before they go into the voting booth?
No, they aren't, bro. If you go on— if you haven't seen these reporters on the street, they go down and they say, well, Can you tell me who George Washington is?
Oh, totally. Yeah.
And they're like, oh, do you— is— what's the—
what, you know, I mean, for clarity, they probably edit out the people who are like, yes, as a matter of fact, I do know who George Washington is. And he crossed the Delaware on Christmas Eve and murdered some motherfuckers.
Yeah, right.
Not what I was looking for. Next. Don't post that shit.
Don't post that. Don't post that.
But bro, like, you know, you go to these people at these protests, you're like, why are you here? And they're like, I don't know.
Like, they said $20 an hour. Yeah.
It's just, dude, we just have a lot of stupid motherfuckers in this country. That's the truth. And I'm not saying all, but we have enough to where they can be preyed upon.
I'm going to add to that. I don't think a lot of the people actually believe deeply in the things that they're a part of, but they have finally found a community, correct? Regardless of what it is, right? Where they're getting some interaction and reinforcement. Because instead of staring at their place of belonging. Yeah. And, you know, they connected through their anxiety rectangle scrolling, looking for something, became a part of something, whether they believe it or not. Like there's legitimately societies out there for people who think the earth is flat. It's like, okay, yeah, I don't want to think that all of you have an IQ that would be found on a thermostat, right? I'm trying to find a better way to look at this. And I watched some documentaries on them like, oh, you guys just like getting together and hanging out.
Yeah, because you're a little bit weird.
Let's be honest, you're a little bit on the fringe, but you're fringe together.
Well, and dude, if you think about like the movement that these people represent, Okay, which is communism. First of all, communism shouldn't be tolerated in this country.
I don't think actually a lot of them could even tell you what communism is.
They don't. But here's what they do know about it. They know that— they know one thing. Here's what they know. They know that communism stands for taking shit from people who have it and giving it to them. That's what they know. And it's pretty easy to cultivate a group of people that believe in that when for the 20 years of their upbringing, okay, people who were born in the year 2000, they have been told that the world is not fair, which it isn't. It's not fucking fair. Okay.
Couldn't agree more.
But they've been told it's not fair. You don't have a chance. If you're white, you're inherently privileged and racist. If you're black, you're hopeless. Um, you get a trophy for showing up, not a trophy for winning. Uh, you get told that, you know, everything's gonna be okay and you're gonna be fine because you're a special little delicate flower and you're you. And then these people get out in the real world, they're not equipped with any skills, they're not equipped with any mentality, they don't understand how the world actually works. They understand the world as they were taught it, which is a lie. And when they get out in the world and they realize that not everything's not going to be okay, it's very easy for them to fall into a culture of those people cheated, those are bad people, I was lied to, give me their shit and fuck them. And that is a very easy thing for them to believe. But what they don't realize about communism is that in the mechanism of communism, they use groups of people called useful idiots to actually get communism to catch. And then once communism takes power, the dumbest, most useless people are executed.
So these people who are clamoring for communism don't understand that if communists actually get in power, you're either going to work for the government, which we all do anyway— that's another discussion. We're much closer to communism than what people think. You're either going to work for the government, government meaning like actually work, right? Or you're going to be eliminated. And then after they eliminate the useful idiots that were used, then they eliminate all the people that would be a potential threat. All the doctors, all the intelligent people, all the people who create, become, build things that aren't with that, then they execute them. Okay. So this is what happens in communism. And these people who cheer for it don't understand that because they've never read a fucking history book. And if they, if they could try to look at the history, it's hard to find these facts. Like, you don't hear about the Holodomors. You don't get taught about the Bolshevik Revolution. Nobody's taught about the 60 million Christians that were killed by Russian Bolsheviks, which are, which are pretend Jews. Okay. They're not even real Jews. They pretend to be Jewish so they can hide amongst the Jews.
Okay. These people murder fucking 60 million Christians. Were you taught that in school? No, I wasn't either. And none of these people were either. So like the history, the actual history is not even easy to find, even if they wanted to find it. So it makes sense to me as to why these people believe what they believe. But it's scary because they don't realize how much in danger they actually are by believing it.
Yeah, they just hear the equality of outcome and some of that. Yeah.
And it's never been that way. It's never happened. It's never worked. It's never, ever worked because the people who have the power, it's never enough for them. Okay. And this is why when you hear about like the USSR being communist and you like when we were growing up, right, what they show us about, they showed the bread lines.
Yeah.
They show people starving. They showed like I mean, extreme poverty. All right. And that's what happens because the government comes in and they say, we're going to look out for you. We're going to provide you with everything. We're going to make the stores and you're going to have plenty of things for free. Except these people are so greedy and so power hungry that when the money comes to do these things, they say, fuck it, let them fucking starve. And they keep it themselves. And that's how we end up with literal monarchs and peasants. And that's what communism is about. They tell you it's about, oh, it's this utopia, it's this, it's that. Communism has never produced anything other than mass amounts of fucking poverty, suffering, and death. Ever.
What do the modern-day communists point at as their success story?
They don't have one. They don't want— oh, their story is it's never been— you point out all these things, they will automatically say the same thing. It's a talking point. Yeah, well, it's never been done properly. It's never been done properly.
Oh, but they're going to do it properly this time.
Yes.
But see, what they don't understand is that it doesn't matter how proper it's explained to you. It doesn't matter how altruistic and selfless that a leader appears to be, because that's usually the kind of leader that brings communism in. We were— I'm of the people. We care about you. I'm one of you. Except when you look at them, they're actually not one of them. Okay. And what happens is, is, you know, absolute power corrupts absolutely. So these people get in power and the people— like, people have a hard time believing this, right? Like, we're all like normal people. Like, you know, if I told you something I— you would expect that I would do that thing. Yeah, right. Vice versa. That's just normal. There are people out there, and this is a hard thing for people to understand, there are people out there that are legit sociopathic. They have no emotion. They have no care. They have no— they don't— they don't care if they told you something. They don't— they don't have— they don't care. Like, they'll fucking kill you. Later, like, fuck it, I'll kill you and I'll take your shit and fuck you.
There's a lot of people out there, and those people tend to rise to the top because good people think that having power is a bad thing. It's a morally bad thing. But what we don't realize is that we have to have good people. This is why entrepreneurs are the power or the linchpin of the power structure. We have to have good people that are willing to obtain wealth and power that are not evil. And we don't have that because what are we taught in culture? What are we taught about seeking power? We're taught that, oh, that's not— it's a bad thing. It's grimy, it's evil, it's this, it's that. Okay, well, if none of the good people go to fucking have power, then what are we left with? Yeah, we're left with the sociopaths who just want to take all the shit and kill all the people. And that's what we're dealing with, dude. And I think we're dealing that dealing with that not just in communism. I think we're dealing with that globally with a lot of different leaders. Okay, so they may not be communists, right? They may just be lying about what they're— I mean, look, dude, people hate when I say this because they get so pissed off.
And before I say it, I want to say that I am a through and through fucking pro-America patriot. I love this country. I believe in what it stands for. I believe in the idea of America. I think it's one of the greatest ideas ever. I think it's one of the most beautiful concepts ever. I believe when it works, there's nothing better. But it's been diluted and it's been corrupted. And we are sold a lie now. And the lie is this: you are free. You are free. We are not free. We—
there's no—
there's nothing about paying half of your taxes or more to the government, them never being held accountable, you being held accountable, and working 8 months out of the year for the federal government and being told that you're free. Come on, man. That's not fucking freedom.
And then see your tax dollars get—
that's not fucking freedom, bro. That's not freedom. That's a fucking lie. That is, that is, that is It's the inside of the store is fucking communism. The outside of the store or socialism, the outside of the store says freedom. It's just not what they fucking say it is. And like, dude, that's a big problem. And that's what we're dealing with here in this country. I love this country. I, I, I, I, what it could be is fucking amazing. And that's part of the reason I don't like Trump's slogan of make America great again. That shouldn't be, we shouldn't be looking to go back. We should be thinking, make America greater than it's ever been. Yeah, that should be what we're focused on.
Tougher to fit on a hat.
Yeah. Yeah, it is. But I mean, that's the true message, right?
And like, it's beyond repair. And what would be the mechanism to get out of it? I'll speak for Greg Anderson. It's ARs and body armor.
That's right. Yeah.
Look, I think that's the easy answer. Like the easy—
It's also ineffective.
The easy answer is Let's all get together and let's go fucking kill some people. That's the easy answer. But the problem is, is that what about the day after? What about the week after? What about the year after? Because if we were to go do that now with the culture that we actually currently have, it would only be a short matter of time before we'd be in the situation again, because America has lost the idea of the individual being excellent and a representation of what Americans should be. And so the easy answer is definitely, yeah, let's fucking get him out of there. But all you're doing is surrendering control to another person or another group when in reality, if America— like, and this is the hard answer— if America really wanted to fix itself, it has to come from the individual up. Okay, people have to get back to having high standards. They've got to be fit. They've got to make some money. They've got to care about their community. They've got to put good information in their brain. They can't voluntarily surrender to being a product for the system, meaning a mega consumer. You're 200 pounds overweight.
You're streaming Netflix. You're consuming all the data. You're making them all this money. Then you go to the— you get sick. So you got to go to the medical system like we are seeing right now. As a product to fuel the government, when in reality the government and the system is designed to protect the freedoms of the citizen. And so if we really want to fix this, like, and I mean really fix it, every single fucking American has to take responsibility for their own lives to build a life that is representative of what they believe America should be. Now, people don't like that answer because it requires work on their end. And what they hear is, well, I'm doing my part. Are you? Are you actually doing your part, bro? Are you actually maximizing the gift that was given to you of being born in this country and living your life in a way that honors the people who sacrificed for this country? I don't believe that we're doing that as a whole. In fact, I know we're not. Okay. Now we—
it's evident, bro.
That, and, and because the answer is difficult and everybody has to participate, people tune the fuck out. Okay. But that is the only real solution.
And then that fires me up.
Well, that is the only solution.
Beat the shit out of somebody right now. Not at the same time.
Don't look at me, bro. So, so how this works, how this works, and this is why entrepreneurs are the fucking linchpin. Entrepreneurs have more influence in culture than any other profession. And here's why. Because if you employ people, you have a decision that you can make actively about what your culture inside your company is going to represent. All right. This is why for the last 20 years, there's been all this woke shit that is put down through the big banks to the corporations of all this crazy DEI and political correctness and censorship shit that they got to do, right? Hey, let's crush meritocracy. If we crush meritocracy, then we crush the motivation and the dream. All right, if we want to fix this, entrepreneurs need to install a culture that they are proud of, that represents the things that they believe in, that people will live inside that ecosystem and take home. When they take it home, that rubs off in their family. When it rubs off in the family, it rubs off in the community. Okay, so entrepreneurs play a pivotal role at fixing this problem because they have leadership capabilities. When I say this to people, they look at me like I'm speaking fucking Chinese.
Okay, but I am telling you, and I mean this, if America wants to actually survive and thrive, the regular American has to take responsibility for their own lives. In a way that they are not currently doing. And that, that is not an insult to people who are trying really hard. Trying hard is, is, is not the same as being effective. You have to try hard and be effective, which means you need skills. And those skills come from people investing in themselves. And when someone's struggling to put food on the table when they work their whole fucking lives, and they're, they're— it's very hard to talk to that person and say, hey, Try harder. You're gonna have to do more. Okay, but if we really want to fix shit, that's the way it— and we're gonna have to do more for a minute. And what will happen is once the culture gets back control of the government, now we can fix some of these things like taxes and maybe not make it so hard on people so they don't have to work 60 hours a week at one job and 20 at another to fucking get by.
Maybe we could get us back to a single-family household, you know, the whole culture that we live in was built upon a single-income household. You can't survive on a single-income household anymore, right? So like all of these problems, like you can wait for a candidate to come in, but here's the problem. You put a candidate in the system that you think can do this, and then they get bucked off the bull by all the people who are already there. Okay, so we have to understand this has to start at community level, has to go up to the state level, and then it goes up to the country level. And we have to restore this idea that citizens are supposed to serve just like you serve for 17 years in a different way, which would be in their local government or their state government or their national government. And everybody like, dude, I get this a lot. And I'm not saying this to toot my own horn or anything, but everybody's like, dude, why don't you run for office? Why don't you run for president? Why don't you do this? If I ran for president right now, I wouldn't be able to get anything done because we don't have the people underneath to fucking go along with it, dude.
So like, you're just taking somebody who could potentially fix the problem, and because nobody's participating at the level that we need it to, it can't be effective. So to answer your question, do I think we're done? No.
Are the—
is a solution difficult? Yes. Does it require everybody? Yes. Do I think it can happen? Yes. Do I think it's going to happen? I don't know.
I've never thought about entrepreneurship in that, in that way. And honestly, for the vast majority of my adult life, I was working for somebody else, mainly the government.
Yeah.
And I own a coffee shop where I live, and I think we employ about 40 people part-time.
Yeah, that's it.
It is one of my favorite things, and I hadn't thought about it through the lens of culture or the impact and influence that you have. And I'm thinking about it now. The average age of the employee that I have, they're baristas, right? So not a vocation for sure, but I get them early in life, probably 16 through 23 would probably be about average age, which is an incredible age to teach lessons about culture and leadership and self-starting and looking for problems instead of being told what the problem is. And fuck, I hadn't thought about it like that. I love going to the coffee shop. The first thing I did was develop a management team. So I could come in and worry about high-level stuff and let them worry about the mechanics. In the 3 years we've been open, I haven't taken a dime out of the business. I just put it all back into the shop to try to— I'd rather pay them more than me take a dime.
Yeah.
And in full transparency, it's not bad as a tax haven to write off costs. But just being honest, I'm like, I don't like—
that's legal.
Yeah, it's legal. And but also It is, uh, it's one of the most rewarding things that I do because of the young people that work for me.
That's right.
And it's harder— the leadership in that world is harder than the leadership of the world I came from in the military because they're younger and they have different trajectories in life and different reasons that they're going to be there. Also, they can quit and not be punitively put into jail. Yeah, even though I have tried to institute that, it didn't work well.
Entrepreneur So we say everybody has to do more, right?
Yeah.
Okay. That's entrepreneurs too.
Yeah.
Okay. And that means that you have to take a fucking interest in your people's development. Yeah. Right. That means you got to get them around your 40 guys. Say, hey guys, okay, once a month we're going to do a leadership lesson or a personal development lesson. We're going to talk about this. This is what's important. You know, this is what I've learned. This is, this is, these are things that are going to matter to you in the future. We have to take responsibility for our people. Like, it would be very easy for me not to do that.
It.
Yeah, like, it'd be very easy for me to not give a fuck and say, ah, fuck these guys, they'll figure it out. That's what a lot of people do right now.
Your business wouldn't be what it is.
I, I know that, but, but dude, you'd be surprised how many people I talk to who pay me to consult on their business, and I explain what I just said to you, and they say, I don't have time to do that.
The fuck?
Well, then you're gonna fucking lose. Yeah, and not only are you gonna lose, you're, you're abandoning your responsibility to your own fucking team. For a fucking dollar. And that's why you're not going to have any.
Yeah, I had always just thought about it through the lens of this just seems like the right thing to do. I hadn't thought about it.
You know what's funny, bro? Doing the right thing actually does pay pretty fucking good in the long term.
Yeah.
Yeah. Am I in the short term? Maybe not all the time. In the long term, I promise you it does.
Absolutely. I love it, dude. I love it, man. Guys, We got one more segment.
Yeah.
What is it?
A final segment. It's a great one. Thumbs up. Oh, shit. Thumbs up. You're dumb as fuck.
Yeah.
I got a game for us. I figured this would be fitting, right? We've put on some tinfoil, so we're going to play a little game. It's very simple. OK, we're going to walk through these. These are the most common conspiracy theories people actually secretly believe.
I don't know how secretly some people believe these.
And we're going to go yes or no.
Okay.
Yes or no, do you think it's real? Okay. Got it.
Do I think it's real or do I think like, do you believe it could be real?
No, no. Like, do you believe it? Oh, okay. Do you believe it? Now some of these are common. Some of these are not so common. All right, guys, ready? Chat, play along with us as you guys are watching in the chat. Let us know.
All right.
So first up, most computer viruses in the 2000s were created by software companies. Selling antivirus programs.
100%.
My phone came up before. 100%.
And that's why Bill Gates figured out how to create diseases and then vaccines.
That's right.
Allegedly.
Allegedly. Allegedly. Okay.
I had put my thumb out before you'd finished reading. All right.
Yes.
Okay. All right.
Cool.
Chat, let us know. All right. Next one.
John McAfee, who created fucking Norton Antivirus, says he's openly admitted this.
Oh, really?
He's dead now, allegedly. Yeah. All right.
All right. Next one.
Yeah.
All right. Here's the next one. Bill Clinton never cheated on Hillary. They had an open marriage, always traveling, rarely together, and infidelity was easier for the public to stomach than a swinging president and first lady.
I mean, I think it's pretty demonstrable that they were banging other people. So we're just talking about the mechanics of how they define their own personal relationship here.
I think it's possible.
Yeah, plausible. Yeah, plausible.
Well, there was another president that I know for sure was swingers.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, they were the— they were the ones that were our previous president.
Yeah, apparently he was legit swinging, swinging. Yeah, he's the anteater, Girthy.
Yeah, he's got a hog on him.
Hog, bro. Yeah, allegedly.
Good for him. Yeah, good for him.
Dude, I was shocked, you know, like, damn, they call him the anteater. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. All right. I say, I'd say that's, I would say that's probably true.
Okay. All right.
I mean, it seems plausible. It just seems like we're arguing or deciding whether or not we agree with the own verbiage that they use for their relationship.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I can see that as plausible.
Okay. All right.
Here's the next one. All those Russian politicians that jumped or fell out of the upper floor windows were actually pushed.
I don't know when this happened, but if there was more than one person, I feel like Like an accident could happen to one person falling out of a window.
Sure.
Yeah. I think that's a, I think that's yes.
Okay. Yeah.
I think I have to go with a yes on that one too.
Yeah. That's safe. All right. Next one that women's pants and skirts and dresses don't have pockets or they have tiny baby pockets to boost the handbag industry. All right. That's deep. Well, that's fucking deep. Well, they do have tiny little pockets, dude.
Okay. And also the people who own the high fashion also make the bags.
That's right. So, right.
These are all self-licking ice cream cones.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd say this is probably true.
Okay.
You think that's true?
See, ladies, ladies in the chat, what do you guys think? Is it a fucking scam?
I don't know if that's true, but that to me sounds like a conversation people would have in these meeting rooms.
Yeah. All right.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to shrink the size of their pockets.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude, they make the purses fucking small. Listen, 100% they do this, and I'm gonna tell you why. It's the same reason that chip bags will stay the same size but the inside will be less.
Oh, more—
they call it shrinkflation. Yeah, okay, like, so if you go buy like a fucking candy bar and, you know, the wrapper will be the same but the candy bar will be like half an inch shorter.
Yeah, you get like 30% in there.
Yeah, that's how these people think. 100%.
That's so fucked up. That's so fucked up. All right, here's the next one. My wife went home, uh, and Jay Rozzi, my wife goes wild when she actually gets pants with pockets.
The women, I think, are vehemently agreeing that this is a thing.
Yeah, yeah, hell yeah. All right, next one, here we go. All right, now this is a, this is a big one. You guys know Mattress Firm?
Yeah.
Okay, Mattress Firm is secretly a money laundering operation because there are so many and yet they're always empty. And who the fuck buys mattresses like this?
Yeah. Yeah. All right. So I hear this one a lot.
Okay.
This is a big one. Okay. But what people don't understand is that mattresses are extremely high margin. Okay.
Oh, really?
Yes. And you don't have to sell a lot of them to keep your store open. It's like a lot. It's like 90-something, 80% margin.
It's a lot of shit.
I'm going with the expert on this one.
Okay. All right.
I was unaware of the margin levels in mattresses.
Yeah, they're super high margin.
This seems a little bit—
linen Cushions and mattresses have some of the highest margins of any good. Really? Yeah.
That's great. Well, dude, it's like fucking 5 mattress firms in like a fucking half a mile radius, bro. Yeah.
Like, see, but it's a real estate play. Like, I'm kind of mattress firm. Do they have like— entertain that one a little bit too.
They have a lot of locations. All right. All right.
I mean, there could be some money laundering going on. I'm just saying, like, I don't think the whole thing's invented for, like, bros on a fucking 240-foot yacht.
What do you do, bro? Oh, Mattress Firm. You ever heard of it?
You know, bro, I know some dudes that own some mattress companies. They're fucking rich.
That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. All right, well, we got one last one, our final one.
Um, time to sell mattresses in Minnesota.
Yeah, daycares and fucking salami bad. All right, last one. This is a big one. Okay, here we go. There is a 1% of the top 1% that actually runs the world and makes random decision scenarios that affect billions of because they want to see how it plays out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think we all know that's true.
Yeah.
I don't know about the word random.
Yeah. It's— yeah. Yeah.
I'm not saying there's not a top 1% of the 1%. I don't know if they're up there fucking around randomly. I think they're pretty calculated.
100%.
You think they're so more calculated, right?
It's a plan.
See, sometimes I feel like they just be fucking with us.
No.
You know what I'm saying? No, but yeah, that's like, like, hey, hey, make them put masks on, make them put masks on.
I wasn't fucking with those. Purpose for that.
That was intended.
