We are getting deep in the weeds on Momdani, New York City, Dick Cheney and beyond.
I do want to remind everybody, please consider supporting the broadcast via the Buy Me a Coffee and the links down below.
And we want to give a big ups to marigoldresources.com, buying and selling a business.
Please go check them out.
Buckle up and get ready to make sense of the madness.
It is deep in the weeds of Jason Burmese brought to you by River Cities Reader.
So kind of an interesting week, Jason.
Yeah, certainly.
You know, there was some press, although not much press, which didn't completely and totally shock me as I didn't think there were going to be a ton of at least mainline political figures at this point coming out and talking about Dick Cheney.
Because a lot of, I would say, the political climate is in direct contradiction to Dick Cheney.
The rise of what people would call MAGA or Trump or a lot of these ideal sets, America First, is because people were sick of the Cheney, Bush, Clinton, Barack Obama style of politics.
And I did a broadcast, I think it was a day or two after it was announced on his death.
And look, like I've said before, I don't celebrate people's deaths.
Believe me, those memes came.
I got some text messages and that's type of stuff about Cheney.
Really, what people should understand is Cheney's true legacy is that of an authoritarian, of a globalist, of a neocon.
And because of that anniversary, I showed his connections to an organization called, not connections, but he was a director for much of it, basically as a person at the Council on Foreign Relations, which is one of these larger scale roundtable groups that do war gaming, think tanking, policymaking, et cetera,
and are really on the inner circle and are acolytes, if you will, of David Rockefeller.
So I show back in the day, David Rockefeller asking Dick Cheney at the Council on Foreign Relations a question, and Dick Cheney kind of joking that when he was running for Congress in Wyoming, he didn't let his constituents know that he was even in the Council on Foreign Relations, let alone that he was a director.
Because again, you know, there was certainly a sect of people within the conservative movement or Republican Party that didn't like organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations or the Trilateral Commission and these organizations that would move us into globalism.
So other than pointing those things out, I also show his connections to what is known as the continuity of government program or the actual shadow government that, once again, a lot of people thought didn't exist.
Post 9-11, it was kind of normalized in a lot of ways.
But it was not during the Bush Jr. administration where that was revamped with Cheney and others.
It was actually under the Reagan administration and the first Bush administration through a thing called the National Programs Office.
And during the second Bush administration, you know, it has been said and noted, I don't know that it has been cemented, that Dick Cheney was actually heading up COG or the shadow government post 9-11.
Certainly seemed that way on the morning of as Bush was in the air on Air Force One when the attacks were happening, and Dick Cheney was taken down to the Presidential Emergency Operating Center.
And then, kind of finally, we wrap it up with a speech that he gave at the now notorious World Economic Forum in Davos and gets introduced by the one and only Klaus Schwab.
And then at the end, there's a little QA where, you know, one person asks an essential question about torture, about secret police, about Guantanamo Bay.
And it's kind of brushed aside.
But, you know, essentially the whole speech that's given by Cheney is one big false promise and a lie.
And it's from 2004.
So now we have the hindsight of 20 plus years.
And you really see what that organization has continued to push.
And it is a great narrative.
And it is one of globalism.
Another really interesting question that gets asked to him is one about the United Nations.
You know, I said it before.
Cheney's legacy is that he is a globalist.
And, you know, these globalists are always pushing the same things.
They're pushing things like the European Union, which Cheney was pushing at this meeting in Davos.
They're pushing things like NATO, the global army, which Cheney was pushing at this meeting in Davos.
But in particular, when we talk about things like the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, they always want to strengthen the United Nations.
I would contend that the United Nations was a driving force with the World Health Organization, which is really just an arm of the UN, to bring us the COVID-19 as globally as they possibly could, and certainly bring the United States in many instances in lockstep with their policy.
So Cheney, you know, actually kind of brushes the question away a little bit.
He says, look, I don't want to get in trouble, but he's smiling the whole time.
He's a big pro.
Oh, he's got that special Cheney smile.
It's special.
That famous picture of him at the Senate committee hearing where he's like, like gnashing his teeth.
I mean, I imagine Cheney was like, if he would have been alive in medieval times, he would have been the guy in charge of torture.
You know, Cheney certainly came off that way more so because Bush was portrayed as kind of this bumbling idiot in the press while all these very serious things were going on.
Bush certainly was not as cunning or skilled as Cheney.
I don't think he was as involved as Cheney.
But when you actually sit down and listen to Dick Cheney speak for more than a sound bite or something that gets caught up, you understand why they chose him as a politician.
He's pretty well spoken and especially for that time period, able to dole out the rhetoric rather well.
And on top of that, you look at his private, his quote-unquote private interests in things like not only Enron and that scandal that was conveniently brushed away after 9-11, after documents were destroyed in the World Trade Center in 7 in particular via the SEC, but also Halliburton.
Again, this military-industrial complex, private company that just made a ton of money during this war of terror.
So to me, really, it's not just a legacy of globalism, Aaron.
It's also a legacy that there's always going to be somebody to take that guy's place.
He's not the only one, you know.
There are plenty of people lining up right now to be in that spot where Dick Cheney was, where, you know, essentially he's middle management for, I would say, globalism worldwide, and especially the quote-unquote de facto Western sector of the Anglo-American-Israeli Euro Alliance and somewhat Saudi.
You know, it opposes the Russian and Chinese sect of globalism.
But at the end of the day, a lot of them have to work together in many different regards, whether it be technology.
We're always talking about chipsets and raw minerals, et cetera, in currency.
Oil is another big one.
So, yeah, you have these factions, but certainly with Cheney and his faction, they are the quote-unquote neocon pro-New World Order faction in their own words.
In fact, Dick Cheney got as a gift after the first Gulf War during the Bush administration.
George Bush had a bunch of Glocks engraved with the New World Order commemorative edition, where it actually says that on the barrel of the gun.
Cheney received one, I think Powell, Schwartzkopf, and Rumsfeld amongst them.
Sounds like a room full of fun guys.
Last thing I want to ask you on Dick Cheney: did he shoot the guy in the face on purpose, or was it really an accident?
Well, obviously, it would be speculative for me to say it was on purpose.
I was not on the duck hunt.
I have no idea whether Dick Cheney maliciously shot that man in the face, but whether he did or not, it wasn't even a discussion on whether or not he would face a trial or face any kind of not only criminal consequences, but consequences in general.
And at the end of the day, didn't that guy have to go on television and apologize to Dick Cheney?
Yeah.
So the attorney that he shot in the face apologized to him.
So I'm, but I'm guessing, you know, the story goes, well, he violated, you know, he didn't follow Hunter etiquette like he was in the way, basically, and that's why he got shot in the face.
But something about the evil in Dick Cheney's eyes and face tells me, but maybe, just maybe, it was on purpose.
Big in the news this week, Zaran Momdani, a self-described socialist, lots of other folks want to push him a lot farther left than that, got elected as the mayor of New York City.
And one of the things he did right away was confirm that he is with the anti-Israeli movement, which I found kind of ironic considering he is now in charge of a city with the largest Jewish population in the U.S.
Well, let me, I mean, there's so much to talk about with that election, right?
With Mamdani, with Cuomo, with the fact that the Republican Party ran Curtis Sleewa, and they treated him like he was a third-party candidate and didn't even have a chance.
If Cuomo had gotten in, it would have been the same thing as Mamdani.
It would have been just sold differently.
I want to show people who will watch this after the fact when we post it, the numbers here.
All right.
So if Sleewa's not in the race, it's actually extremely close.
They talk about a landslide.
But let me give you an example.
There were over 2 million votes for the New York City mayor.
In contrast to that, I believe there's about 3 million people in the state of Iowa.
So you can understand why this is so significant.
So Mamdani gets a million plus, a million 36,000.
Cuomo gets 854,000 votes, almost 855,000 as an independent, which is totally and completely unheard of.
Even if you saw the dockets, both, I believe it was both Sleewa and Mamdani were on there two different times while Cuomo was only on there once.
And Sleewa gets like 146,000.
Now, if Sleewa is not in the race, you would assume that the vast majority go to Cuomo, and that makes it almost a runoff at a million apiece.
But really, it's about narratives at this point because what's really going to happen with this guy is he's building the new tech agenda, not only for New York City, but New York state in general.
We've talked a lot about these AI data centers.
Well, I got news for people.
New York City in particular has already automated things in a manner most aren't familiar with.
You know, they have, and this is to Trump's credit, by the way.
He just came after it, I think, a couple days ago on Truth Social again.
This whole congestion pricing, where essentially you just drive somewhere in New York in a certain area, and you're charged.
You're not on a bridge.
You're not on a toll road.
You're not going through the...
You're just there.
And...
And you're automatically charged.
If they get their way, it would be deducted in real time.
And New York State, New York City in particular, were pioneers of automating so much of these toll roads.
And you go to the East Coast.
I know we get a taste of it here.
And I know you're in Illinois and especially in Illinois of how many toll roads there are.
I assure you, when you go to New York State, when you go to D.C., when you go to Pennsylvania even, Pennsylvania is a little bit less, but Jersey, there's just automated toll roads.
Ohio is another one.
Automated toll roads everywhere that are deducting.
They want to make it so that happens in your neighborhoods.
Okay.
Now, AI is coming in a big way.
And New York State also knows not only does it have this city, which its policy pushes into not only the rest of New York State, but it pushes into, I just mentioned Pennsylvania, Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, down into D.C., really infects a lot of the East Coast.
And what they'd like to do is get these data centers all over upstate New York.
And you're seeing it right now.
They're calling it a boom.
I got an article right here that's, I believe, a week, week and a half ago.
Data center boom, straining power grid as New York asks who should pay?
Well, I'll tell you who's going to pay.
It's going to be you and I.
And that's why even people like Bill Gates are coming out and saying, well, it's not really going to be global warming that takes out humanity.
No, because they've got to change their tune because they're about to do really bad things to the environment.
They're about to decimate our water supply on behalf of AI.
Here's another one, a recent article from this month.
Data center developers descend upon upstate New York.
And more data centers for AI means more electricity demands on the New York State power grid.
It's not even a secret, okay?
And how AI data centers are leading to big electricity bills in New York and New Jersey and who's being hit the hardest.
We're going to be being hit the hardest.
And when I say we, it's the working class.
Now, they're shifting the argument with Mamdani, which I think is a valid thing to bring up because these are the things that are going to enrage people.
And it is something that needs to be exposed with the millionaire tax.
Are you familiar with this?
Well, I mean, I'm not a millionaire, but yeah, I mean, they're talking about in New York City taxing the rich and using that to pay for everything, but all the rich are just leaving, just like they are in Illinois.
Well, let me say this again.
You know, the rich, if you're making a million dollars a year and you're living in lower Manhattan, I don't even really consider you rich.
Like, you're maybe.
I hate, you know, and people laugh at, like, might scoff at me.
Let me explain how it works just in New York State alone before we get into a millionaire tax and what that would actually mean.
Okay.
So people know, just for background, in case you haven't listened or been in Deep in the Weeds with Jason Berman's with us, brought to you by River City's Raider.
We do this every Friday at 9 a.m.
Jason's from New York.
So you have a very good, you know, you know what's going on in the state of New York.
Absolutely.
Okay.
And especially if you're in the city.
Okay.
Now, there are two routes that you could go to.
And I'm not sure if this millionaire tax extends into Long Island, but I would imagine that it might.
And if it doesn't currently extend into Long Island, I could see the governor Hochul or whoever steps in after her extending it there because a lot of the people in New York City, that's where they end up living successful lives.
There are so many homes that are just your standard.
If you were living in a McMansion here in Bettendorf and it was in now, I don't know, the half a million dollar range, that home in a Long Island neighborhood would probably be $5 plus million dollars.
Okay.
And that's not an exaggeration.
I'm talking about almost a tenfold on being in that area alone.
Now, if you make a million dollars a year, you know, before taxes in New York State, chances are you're in a much higher bracket.
If you're living in New York City, I would also imagine the chances of you having a family are slim to none.
They're going to be even more brutal on you in taxes.
If you're, let's say you're living in the city and you don't own a home, but you live in a nice apartment in New York City, a nice apartment in New York City, let's say a two-bedroom for you.
And if you had a guest room, you know, a big one for you and your partner that you don't have kids with, you're probably $8,000 minimum.
And I'm talking if you were in lower Manhattan, we can get up into two or three digits.
You could literally be paying $100 plus K. You want to talk about really rich people.
Yes, a month, 100% for something that would be 1,500 to 2,000 square feet.
You know what I mean?
If we're talking into like the tens of thousands and do 100,000.
But let's go low.
Let's go.
You're just living in kind of a basic, probably 800 square foot, nice neighborhood.
That's $8,000 minimum a month.
Okay, so you're cutting out $100,000 right there.
You're probably, again, because you're single, tops taking home $500,000, maybe $6.
Let's give you 60% of your money, but you're down to $5 because of that.
The cost of living, I mean, just getting around because you probably don't have a car.
And if you do, that car is, you're paying for parking every day on top of that rent, which is outrageous, which is some people's rent a month.
We're talking about, again, $400 to maybe $1,000 a month just to park your car.
That's if you live in the city.
And then they want to take another 2% away from that.
So at the end of the day, maybe if you're lucky and you saved right and you weren't decadent, maybe you'd get to keep 100, 200 grand and save that afterwards.
Now, if you have a family, a lot of the money that you might save in taxes, you're going to eat up because you own your home and your property taxes are outrageous because I just told you your house is worth $5 million in their neighborhood most can't afford.
So you're not even that rich.
You'd probably be better off be living in Bettendorf and making a million and a half dollars a year over making $5 or $10 million a year in New York State because they're going to take so much of it away.
It's crazy.
So this is a lot of the reason why Mom Downey or how Mom Downey got elected because he went after, well, rents are this high and blah, blah, blah.
So what do you, I mean, it's unusual for us to see an Arabic person who describes himself as a socialist taking over the largest city in America.
Well, I would say, again, you know, I think number one, there's an influx of Muslims into this country.
I think that's on purpose.
We talked about it briefly a couple of times on my last trip to D.C., how I had never seen so many Arabic Muslims in that area.
Certainly, Michigan has become a hotbed.
I think that even in the last five years that I've been here in the quad cities, I've seen more of those people coming.
And now, in particular, in New York, I think that you will see somewhat of an influx.
But it is extremely convenient to enrage people and divide people, like with what you started, because there is not only a large Jewish community in New York City, in New York State, but also a large Hasidic Jewish community.
And really, a lot of the influence centers globally are located there.
So you're going to be able to stir the pot quite a bit with Mamdani.
Just like, you know, when 9-11 happens and Rudy Giuliani is the mayor of New York City, you know, the media can go, this is America's mayor.
And I'm sure that there's a certain sect of the media that would love to call Momdani America's mayor just so they could enrage one side and pit them against another.
The bottom line is he's the globalists mayor because he does, you know, he's not going to get rid of congestion pricing.
He wants to extend that.
When we're talking about a 2% tax on people that are just making a million dollars in New York City, again, that's kind of ludicrous that they would do that.
Now, you want to talk about people that are making $100 million a year?
There's plenty of CEOs and that type of thing.
That's a tax that maybe we can talk about.
But again, the dirty little secret of most of these large companies, corporations, Leviathans, Technopolies, if you will, which I like to call them, the Apples, the Googles, they don't pay any taxes, Aaron.
They're in a bracket.
Yeah, they don't pay any taxes.
At the end of the day, they get so much corporate welfare and game the system so well through those programs that they don't pay, they don't pay even what the guy who, you know, who's in that million-dollar bracket pays a year, one person.
That's what has to change.
If you're just going after individual people that are doing somewhat well for themselves, that's how you get this mentality where those people are pointing to the poor person on SNAP benefits or Medicaid as the source of their problems.
Look, those people aren't necessarily helping, but they're far from the source of their problems.
Yeah.
So most corporations figure they're paying their taxes through their payroll taxes because they have employees, their employees are paying taxes.
But a lot of times, typically, they're not paying any taxes because they have a whole building of accountants to make sure that they don't and to balance out their costs, their debt.
It's a complicated situation, but they've got it figured out.
It's like the same reason that they called Trump out for not paying taxes and he's like, I don't pay taxes because I'm smart.
Because I've got people that know the tax code and they take care of it for me.
He's not wrong.
The tax code is set up, was set up by a man that was nicknamed the Sneer, Alexander Hamilton.
That was his nickname amongst his contemporaries, the Sneer.
Now, this guy was a hybrid from the Bahamas, which, I mean, he had a very difficult road to climb.
His mom was reportedly a prostitute or, you know, kind of off and on, whatever, but no dad in the picture.
Gets, you know, works his way up through the Army under George Washington, and then through the years, becomes the polar opposite of what he was when he came up.
And he's the sneer.
But he set up the financial system so that the rich stay rich because he was rich.
And we're still there.
Like, it's still set up that way.
And right, wrong, or otherwise, that's what we got.
Well, I would also say this: it's gotten to a level where essentially we've embedded a system of robber barons that are allowed to bail themselves out if anything happens.
And I mean, give the illusion as though, you know, the people are getting something.
Again, the COVID-19 44 nightmare is the best example of this.
It was the largest wealth transfer in the history of humanity.
Now, you know, obviously the globe was flooded with fiat currencies that were printed out of nowhere.
But at the end of the day, all the plebs out there, the surf class, if you will, Aaron, you're not.
We got, you know, if you partook in those programs, you got stimulus checks and blah, blah, blah.
That was not, they shut down the stock market several times.
That should show you what a scam the stock market is.
You know, we all talk about, I mean, I guess we talk about it less and less these days now that it's almost 100 years ago and we've driven the education system into the ground.
But the stock market crash of 1929, right?
They didn't have a way, a mechanism back then when the market was crashing to just totally pull the rug and say, nope, we're going to just stop.
And then we're going to decide behind closed doors what we're going to do with it.
They did that several times during COVID.
You know, people wonder why the price of things never went back to normal.
Well, again, you flooded the market with fiat currencies and you transferred wealth over to these people that already had a massive amount of it.
Now you're making less.
Now your vote, or I'm sorry, your voice actually counts less as a collective because of this.
And this is continually been done to the general populace incrementally, but that was a huge, huge move.
And my biggest fear is that we're in for another large-scale move in that direction.
And not only in that direction, but away from any type of physical fiat currency, which is even more dangerous, Aaron.
We're starting to get prepared for that now that everybody's going to the fast food stores and they're telling you, oh, they're getting rid of pennies.
So we're going to, you know, so Casey's Animal Store here in town.
They just saw the note this morning on the counter.
We will no longer give or take pennies.
We will be rounding accordingly.
Yep.
So we're here, you know, and how, I mean, nickels already aren't financially viable to make, Aaron.
So, I mean, we're probably going to have to get rid of the nickel next.
And, you know, that dime is pesky.
I know everybody loves a quarter, but he's saying the ending of the penny is sort of like the gateway drug into ending all currency.
I mean, physical currency for sure, not all currency.
They want you on it.
Yeah, they want you on a digital currency.
I mean, think about when this drive, not only against physical currency, but physical currency backed by anything began.
It wasn't that long ago.
It was really our parents' generation.
Remember, this administration came in hot with the rhetoric.
We were going to audit Fort Knox, Aaron.
We're going to go right in there with our big investigation Doge caps.
And where's the gold?
Give me the gold.
And that talk chimed down really, really quick.
The bottom line is: if you do not have a currency that is backed by something with intrinsic and inherent value, then you've opened a Pandora's box.
And that Pandora's box has not only been wide open, but there have been numerous genies that are out of the bottle.
We have slowly moved from, you know what, we're going to have this paper and this fiat currency, but it's no longer going to be backed by silver or gold.
And our currency is no longer going to be a precious metal like copper or silver.
We're going to move into these junk metals, right?
Then we're into like, okay, you know, we're at the bank and we certainly don't have to keep all of your money in the bank, only a fraction of that money.
And instead, again, of even this fiat currency that's supposed to be backed by gold and silver and other intrinsic valued materials, well, you're just going to have a piece of paper with a note on it and a number and your signature and we'll start using checks.
That's great.
You know what?
How about we have these cards?
But at first, those cards weren't associated with your bank account, if you remember.
No, instead, we're going to make it a status symbol and we're going to have you borrow against it.
Now we, by the way, we've moved so far past borrowing against, you know, just something for credit and your house and your mortgage that people now have apps to borrow against their DoorDash.
Yeah, so you can take out a loan.
Yeah, you can take a loan out on your DoorDash.
I mean, that should tell you how far we've moved.
But again, now we've got these little plastic thingies.
Eventually, those become debit cards.
That becomes second nature.
PayPal, I looked it up all the way back in, I believe, 1998.
So, late 90s, we start using that.
Now, we're into real zeros and ones.
The banks have almost none of our money.
We're certainly not backed by anything of any intrinsic value.
And people go, Oh, metals don't have intrinsic value.
Really?
Is that why you have people cutting out catalytic converters of cars for their copper content?
No, you know, copper can be used in so many different conductive materials.
Same with silver and gold, our computer chips.
No, they do have an intrinsic and inherent value.
So, we're now, like I said, at a point where it's not just your card, it's your phone.
That's another device that can be used.
It's your wrist in some cases, in some places, you know, it's your biometrics that can now pay this.
And it's where they would really love to move it.
You know, Kier, a lot of people have talked about this European movement, in particular with Kier Starmer for a digital ID.
In fact, it kind of sucks because I'll have to go watch it back, but I was in Chicago yesterday and I couldn't take part in the Independent Media Alliance forum with greats like Jim Corbett and the last American Vagabond on this digital ID.
But Starmer is openly out there, and this would be one of those things, just like in New York City with Mamdani, and you know, kind of spreading these ideal sets, these technologies, these bureaucracies, where he wants a digital ID in the United Kingdom for people to work.
And obviously, the UK, Britain, that's a part of the European Union.
And if somehow, some way they were to get it into one nation, this nation in particular in the European Union, how much longer till it gets to Germany, Ireland, France, et cetera, et cetera.
And once you have a digital ID to work, once this is track trace database, this is direct deposit of your credits, this is direct deduction of your credits, this is a social credit score, whether they want to call it that or not.
And remember, you already have your regular credit score, which is very much a part of your social credit score.
If you have an Apple device, you also have and have had for a very long time a credit score with Apple, and it's not just based on your payments, et cetera.
It's numerous things.
Same thing with your Android device.
Whether you like it or not, it's not just a collection of your data.
It's not just, you know, they're listening to a conversation all of a sudden advertising to you.
They are literally sizing you up and measuring you as a human being on a multitude of levels, the likes of which most can't imagine.
Here's what scares me the most.
By the way, we're deep in the weeds with Jason Burvis, Roger, By River Cities Reader.
To wrap up what I said earlier, I looked it up: 13% of the population in New York City is Jewish, and you have a mayor who was just elected who came out and said he's anti.
So I worry.
But I also thought about, you know, knowing what we know about Israel intelligence, et cetera, you know, Mamdani should probably wear a bulletproof vest all the time.
Mamdani's not going anywhere, bro.
Let me tell you something right now.
That's the lad lately.
That guy's going to be riding on the subway just like Bloomberg did.
Yes, he'll have his goons around.
No, Mamdani has to actually worry about a lunatic New Yorker in the subway more than he would have to worry about.
Israel loves him.
When I say that, I mean, obviously, I don't mean the average Jewish citizen or maybe practicing a Jewish person or whatever in New York City or Long Island.
I'm sure there's a varied degree on how they feel about this guy.
But a lot of the technology that is going to be utilized via these AI data centers comes directly from Israel, and they are heavily invested in this project.
I promise you, there may be some theatrics out there, and there certainly have been already.
In fact, one of those theatrics was during the debate, and they were asking about Jewish leadership, et cetera, et cetera.
And everybody else up on the stage, and there was a multitude outside of Cuomo, Sliwa, and Mamdana, they were also, I'm going to Israel.
We're going.
Cuomo's going to Israel.
We're going to Israel.
And Mamdani was honestly the only one with any sense there.
He goes, you know, I'm going to stay right here in New York City.
And if the leadership would like to meet with me, I'll meet them in the subways, the streets, the synagogues, wherever they would like to meet me.
He's like, my job is here in New York City.
He's like, why would I go to Israel?
Muslim or not, socialist or not, that's common sense.
Like, I agree 1,000% with that.
So I'm just going to say, again, a lot of the things they're going to portray with this guy are going to be divisive on purpose.
But at the end of the day, these policies are really the you will own nothing and be happy policies of the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg-driven globalists.
Well, and that's what I wanted to kind of finish up with today is talking about.
So I talk with Doug Weir from Medina Financial Group every Monday, and we were talking about stuff.
And so some of the numbers that came out so far this year, major companies have eliminated over 1 million jobs in 10 months.
Not cut, not furlough, or not laid off or furloughed, but cut.
We don't need these positions filled anymore because we have AI doing it instead.
Now, we're just getting started building all these AI dentists, the data centers, and all the big billionaires are all dumping all their money in.
Elon Musk apparently is like insane about trying to be in the lead for the AI robot stuff, probably because he figures they're going to be running the world and if he's in charge of most of them, maybe he gets to run the world.
I don't know, you know, underhandedly.
But it scares the hell out of me, Jason Mermas, because you know what I did?
I stopped and thought for a second because Doug Weir was like, oh, I'm worried about, you know, the economic, you know, footprint this is going to have in the next 18 to 24 months.
And I started to think and I was like, 18 to 24 months?
What's this going to look like in 10 years?
Five years?
20 years?
More and more people, less and less jobs.
That sounds like a bad problem for a lot of places because you're going to have less and less people working to pay taxes to pay for the other people who aren't working.
You're going to have more people with lots of time on their hand to cause trouble.
And just essentially, it feels like we're kind of that downward swirl going into the toilet right now.
On top of that, they're taking our fresh water.
And I don't know what the hell is going on.
I don't understand why nobody is looking ahead at all.
And hopefully you can talk me off the ledge here and tell me, no, it's going to be okay because of this.
But I just, if you just look at the logistics of what is happening, what is starting right now, it's terrifying.
For the near future, for the distant future, period.
I talked to Tony McComeby, who's the Illinois House Minority Leader, District 89 Representative, on Tuesday.
No one's talking about this at all.
The only thing, the only positive I got from that was that Illinois doesn't have the tax break capital basically to get any AI data centers.
So we're not going to have any in this state, it sounds like, because all the other states are ponying up way better tax incentives because they want them so bad.
But nobody is stopping to think about the fact that we are literally eliminating jobs.
And why isn't this a concern?
Why doesn't anyone care?
What's the plan here?
Unfortunately, if you read the plan of the Predator class, it's not a good one for the rest of humanity.
It's that we will be automated and then bioengineered essentially out of existence.
News flash, everybody.
So we should start being concerned because that automation process is now full throttle and very much in effect.
Like you said, these jobs are eliminated.
And we're only seeing a small, small, small example of the technology that is truly out there.
What we're seeing now is what's being commercialized.
I'll give you an example.
One of the stories I'm surprised more people haven't picked up on for a number of reasons is that China has now announced and shown their drone bioengineered cybernetic jellyfish.
Have you seen this thing?
No.
Well, the reason I say this is because for all intents and purposes, this thing appears to be like a real jellyfish.
It's made from hydrogel materials.
It doesn't look like a robot.
It doesn't look like a traditional drone.
You can't take it apart in the sense that you could other mechanics.
And now they're actually showing this to us.
Now, I'd imagine the United States probably has similar technologies and had for a long time.
But this is something out of Westworld.
And, you know, these things are going to be driven by AI.
You mentioned Elon Musk.
Remember, Tesla, not a car company, are the ones building the main humanoid robot, Optimus.
And we were just shown, I think, within the last few weeks, Optimus doing karate, right?
All these things are going to take a massive amount of physical power on top of the LLM models to actually just power the automation itself.
And they're selling humanity on the idea that we need this.
And like you said, we're going to have these data centers that, oh, don't worry, in the long run, they're going to make everything easier for us.
No, they're going to put us under more and more control, government or otherwise.
And, you know, I think one of the things Mamdani is going to try to streamline, you said, you know, 18 to 24 months.
No, I'm really, I am worried not only 18, 24 months, but the next five years, I think, is really going to be pivotal.
I think a lot of changes, a lot of pushes for UBI type programs are going to be in the mix because by then, a lot of these data centers will be built, fully functioning.
More AI is going to be rolled out.
And, you know, we've seen, I guess, the rapid movement from, you know, AI songs and chat GPT into now it's very easy for people to take a photograph and make a short video out of that photograph.
It's a click away.
Obviously, the video generation continues to get better and better and more accessible.
So we're truly on the verge of a post-truth world where, I mean, you can't trust anything.
And I encourage people to question just about everything at this point, where it seems like there is a ceiling right now on skill-based jobs.
I do have some hope that perhaps some job markets are going to open up for human beings that simply cannot be driven by AI.
And I also have some hopes that there will be some unforeseen innovation in technology by someone in the general populace outside of the system and the military-industrial complex that disrupts this plan somehow.
And I think that that's very possible because we are human beings.
There are curveballs.
I don't think there's anything written in stone.
But the trends right now, and really, once again, the white papers, the think tanks, and the progenitors of this social Darwinistic globalist viewpoint, well, they tell you where they want us to be.
They want a new surf class.
They want you and I to six figures.
There's nowhere else to get a job making that money.
They go back to just being a plebe.
Yeah.
Well, it's the new neo, it's the techno-neo-feudalism.
So, you know, once again, I mean, you look at like the Hunger Games society.
There are certain areas where if you're poor, you just got to stay in, right?
It starts with congestion pricing, Aaron.
But then if your social credit score is just too low, no amount of credits gets you into this area.
And it's an immediate deduction or an immediate detention.
I'm actually kind of stoked for the new rendition of The Running Man.
I love the old Running Man based on a Stephen King novel when he wrote under the pen name Richard Backman.
I actually got about halfway through the book.
I've got to finish the book before the movie's release next week.
But it's much different.
At the same time where some of the writing is dated, I think that King got a lot of it right.
And it is about kind of this segregation of society.
It is about also kind of this infotainment society that so many of us take part in, whether we realize it or not.
The scroll culture, I believe you called it.
What's that?
Yeah, the scroll culture that we live in.
You know, I'll tell you this.
There's this, I don't know if I mentioned it last week, but this guy, Michio Kushi, you know, I'm still blown away by his 1984 lecture, The New Human Race, because he lays out a very frightening timeline where he is talking about bioengineering and where it was even then when I was only five years old.
And he's talking about, you know, the ability to gestate organs, even human heads at that point in Japan through this organization.
He's like, right now there's no market for it.
And he talked about a bio-nation and then a psycho-nation and then an ultra-psycho nation into this transhumanist hellscape.
And I mean, he was predicting in 1984 through this psycho nation how drugged up the populace would be and how drugged up the children would be and how sick we would be as a society.
And I would just encourage people to watch that.
You know, I did a whole broadcast breaking that down.
But it's called The New Human Race.
And if you want to see the plan and you want to be extremely uncomfortable and squirming while you watch this guy lay it out for you, I encourage that one.
I don't really want to be squirming, but I probably don't know if I want to see it.
Because like I said, I kind of had that eureka moment after I talked to Doug Weir the other day.
I was driving.
I'm thinking about it and I'm like, this is just going to keep happening.
This is like a s we just pushed a snowball down a very steep hill and nothing's going to stop it.
The richest people in the world that pay to run the government via lobbying or whatever are all in on it.
They all want to make all this money on it.
And it's just it's frightening as hell, man.
Well, there's also a great article out there that has stood the test of time.
In fact, I think it's a 90s article, late 90s.
It's by a guy named Bill Joy.
I want to say that he was one of the founders or co-founders of Sun Micro Systems back in the day.
And he was attending a conference in, I think it was in Silicon Valley, basically about AI and about the future of humanity.
And this article is entitled, Why the Future Doesn't Need Us.
And essentially, he was watching this thing and he was kind of in disbelief.
And then later on, he runs into a guy named Ray Kurzweil, who we've talked about on this program before, the guy that wrote The Age of Spiritual Machines, The Singularity.
He's one of Google's, you know, not only employees, but kind of like spiritual gurus.
He believes that not only are we going to live forever as a species, but we're going to upload our consciousness.
I mean, when you get to the singularity stuff, it's pretty wild.
And Kurzweil's a very smart guy.
There's no doubt about that.
But he has these conversations and he realized, wow, this is a real plan.
Back in the late, everybody needs to go read that.
You can find it.
Why the future doesn't need us.
And one of the really eerie things about it is in the opening paragraphs, he gives this quotation that is talking about technology and essentially the dangers of technology inherently essentially decimating and replacing humanity.
You know, obviously I'm butchering the actual quote.
But then when you read it and you see how much sense it makes, and then he reveals who the author of that quote is, it ends up being Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber.
So I'm going to say it again for the audience.
Bill Joy, Why the Future Doesn't Need Us.
Go read that.
And now you have 20 plus years of retrospective.
That's also kind of a must read, in my opinion.
Again, I want to read it, but I don't know if I want to read it because then my mind gets going.
And like, I was talking to my wife about this, and she's like, I don't want to talk about it.
It's stressful.
I'm like, I get it.
But everybody needs to open their eyes.
When I talk to the House Minority Leader for the state of Illinois, and she's like, yeah, everybody's mad because we can't get those AI data centers.
And I'm like, they're taking our fresh water and they're taking jobs, like good middle-class jobs.
Like, nobody cares.
Nobody's talking about it.
Nobody even thought about it.
Well, I'll say this.
I don't know if you maybe some people out there, they know who Charlie Behrens is.
He's one of those comedians on the Facebook.
He's one of the you betcha guys, the Midwestern guys, skinnier comedian, has a large following.
But they're doing these AI data centers out in Wisconsin where he lives.
And Behrens was one of the few guys who stepped up, got a local news story out there a little over a month ago, again, pointing out the obvious that, hey, what about our fresh water?
Hey, look what's happened in these areas that they've put them in.
Hey, this isn't really going to be helping our economy.
Hey, they're openly talking about automation to replace us through these data centers.
Why would we want to do that?
So big ups to Charlie Behrens.
There are some people talking about it.
And, you know, as I've said before, Aaron, different strokes for different folks.
I think that all avenues are extremely necessary.
And quite frankly, more people are reached through things like comedy in general than a guy like me ranting and raving on the internet.
You're not wrong.
I agree with that.
I agree with that.
I don't know.
I just coming, you know, figuring this out or thinking about it and having it kind of hit me in the head, it's like, I don't know.
It's frustrating, you know, because there's not much I'm going to do about it anyway.
And, you know, probably get some AI robots after me here before too long if I keep talking about it, right?
You know, so it's, I don't know, I just don't like it.
I don't like the direction humanity's going.
Forget politics, forget countries, forget any of that.
Just think humanity.
And the direction this is taking us is a really weird side road that I don't know.
I got a lot of fear about where it ends up.
You know, I don't want to be Donnie Doom and Gloom.
I think that we should be concerned.
I am more fearful that I will remain ignorant on something that is so important and be blindsided by its true repercussions than facing a topic that is frightening and trying to navigate that because there is a lot of change coming, whether we like it or not.
I think globally, economically, technologically, and unfortunately, in a lot of cases, spiritually.
Because at the end of the day, and you know, I'm not a Bobby Bible thumper either.
A lot of this, in my opinion, is about good and evil.
And I'm trying to be the good guy.
You know, that doesn't mean I'm perfect.
That doesn't mean I'm going to get everything right.
But some of these things are inherently anti-human and they are accelerating at a rapid pace.
So, you know, in my opinion, one of my biggest duties is to identify them, amplify those issues, and give people the opportunity to not only do the right thing for themselves, but their friends, their families, and hopefully combat a lot of this.
You know, you are doing something, Aaron, because you are one of the few people out there that are talking about these AI data centers in any regards.
And we got to get, you know, we got to get this rumble into a roar before it's too late.
No, I agree.
It's, yeah.
Yep.
I don't know.
I want to, I'm going to keep talking about it even if they come after me.
But, but, yeah, it's, I don't know.
I hope everybody just thinks about this, you know, start making some calls to representatives and senators and stuff like that.
And just make more people aware about, you know, hey, have you stopped to think about the direction we're moving in right now?
So anyway, he is Jason Burmese.
He's a documentary filmmaker.
He's got his own show, Making Sense of the Madness on YouTube TV.
Make sure you check him out.
Like him, follow him, do all the things.
And, well, we'll sure look forward to talking to you next week, buddy, as we go back deep in the weeds brought to you by River Cities Reader.
