It is time to get deep in the weeds with WQUD 1077.
We get into Davos, transhumanism, foreign policy, and beyond.
Do want to remind everybody, I need your support, $5, $10, $15.
It means the world to me.
First of all, thumbs it up, subscribe, share, ring that bell.
But if you can, please consider donating.
We also have the PayPal and more down below.
If you want to be a big donor, we need you.
MarigoldResources.com, they support the broadcast.
They buy and sell businesses for you.
They broker those sales.
If you're in that arena, give them a look.
And then, of course, the River City Reader, RC Reader.com, a truly independent media operation.
Buckle up and get ready to make sense of the madness.
Jason Burmese, what's going on, man?
How are we doing today in this very, very bitterly cold morning, my friend?
You know, we're doing pretty good.
We did the top 11 donuts.
So that was a good time.
Bob Case nailed it right out of the gate.
Bob's a local realtor here in Iowa and Illinois, friend of mine.
He's going to be hanging out with us a little bit today.
And then, of course, we got Captain Kitty Mike over here, our resident old guy, 68 years old.
So he's always got some good insights.
So it should be a fun chat today.
Yeah, and you guys were talking transplants.
And as much as we're crying about how cold it is here, you know, I transplanted from upstate New York five years ago or so.
And where I lived, it's negative 35 right now.
So, you know, a bit chillier even there.
Are you trying to one-up us right now on Deep in the Weeds, Jason Burmes?
Is that what you're doing?
It's exactly what I just did.
I see where we're at.
Okay, fine.
Yeah, okay.
It's colder in New York.
Jeep.
Man, come on.
No, this is pretty brutal out there.
Yeah, yeah.
We get that lake effect snow out by Cooperstown and Oneana, Montgomery County, Fultonville.
We're on the Mohawk River out there as well.
So it is, it's been a brutal winter for those poor bastards.
Yeah, no, for sure.
And we're, I just saw last yesterday, last year we were at like three inches of snow so far.
This year we're at 20.
Moving Palestinians: Ethnic Cleansing?00:15:47
And I think we'll probably, once it warms back up, we'll probably start getting some more snow.
So we'll see how that goes.
But interesting week in the news, you know, the media had us believing that we were like, you know, a breath away from going to war with NATO.
And then President Trump's like, no, not really.
You know, I'm not going to take it by force.
I was just messing with you guys, you know, and then called off the alleged terrorists and everything else.
You know, I get the feeling that nobody in NATO or anywhere apparently has read Art of the Deal, which he wrote back in 1985, which is his playbook over and over and over.
And no one seems to be catching on.
Yeah, it's not even just Art of the Deal.
You know, I've never read the book, but I've paid enough attention to foreign and domestic policy by this guy to know that he will flip the switch at any given moment.
He often over exaggerates his position to try to put him in more of a position of strength.
And especially when we're talking about things that are straight economics where you can't use the propaganda, say, of fentanyl and cocaine, you know, you have to use other methods.
And let's be honest, NATO doesn't exist without the United States.
No matter what their rhetoric is and no matter what, you know, you had the NATO chief and Trump sit down and the NATO chief try to dress him down a little bit about his previous commentary, but really to no avail.
I don't, again, he's a bluster as part of his game, you know, and that's just how they play it.
Now that he came out and said all that stuff, and then he had to throw in, you know, I think he said something like, you know, if we were going to take it, it'd be a complete annihilation and whatever else.
But, and, you know, and then there was comments from Putin, like, he was all excited that we might actually break with NATO.
I think Putin would just probably try to take Europe.
You know, hey, let's just keep going.
I think that's ridiculous.
Hold on, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, that is ridiculous.
Just based on, yes.
Does Russia have the military weaponry that most of Europe is not a real threat to come into their nation state?
Correct.
Does Russia really have the manpower to march into a bunch of European nations and stay there with that weaponry?
I don't know if that's the case.
It's certainly not the case if the United States backs them at all, but it wouldn't just be U.S. interests.
It would really also be Israeli interests.
They're armed to the teeth, Chinese interests.
Who knows if they would align with Russia or not, because you would probably see some European trade deals.
I don't think he's marching anywhere.
You know, Putin, whether people want to admit it or not, has been extremely restrained in the type of force that has been used as most of this has been in the arena of traditional warfare that has been transitioned into automated drone warfare as well, right?
Otherwise, we're still in the trenches.
We're still on the lines.
One of the things that Trump talked about over at Davos was the some 30,000 people a week that are still dying in that war.
And the reason that I say that they have used somewhat restraint is because the United States has also used restraint.
Think about what Trump said.
He talked about that raid yet again, and he talked about weapons that people had not seen before, basically alluding to what we reported on last week with the sonic and sonar weapons, with the possible exoskeletons, et cetera, with the EMP possibilities where they were able just to shut down the defense of Venezuela.
If you don't think Russia has those very, very weapons, I would think that you're being naive.
Now, at the same time, you know what else he boasted, if you missed this?
He said that the weapon systems that Venezuela supposedly had were Chinese and Russian.
And he said, looks like they're going to have to go back to the drawing board.
So we got a trillion-dollar military budget.
I think this year we're talking trillion and a half, or that's what they're pushing for.
So we should have all the bells, whistles, and good stuff.
And I think Putin has held himself back, like you said, practicing some restraint.
Because I feel like he feels like if he goes too far, then we will get more involved.
And he does not want that.
But I also find it interesting that there are no casualty numbers ever in the media on that war.
Never.
Well, there's no casualty numbers in the media on the other war that continues to go on, despite the fact that we told everybody that there was a ceasefire.
Since the quote-unquote ceasefire, almost 500 people have been killed on the Palestinian side.
There were reports that three journalists were killed yesterday, one of which was a CBS news contributor.
And if you watch this after the fact, when I posted on YouTube, they just posted what they believe to be the new vision of Gaza.
And it does not involve the Palestinians.
In fact, anybody can look this up right now.
They just started moving out Palestinians from Gaza via, I don't know what else you call it other than ethnic cleansing and genocide when you go in, you take a landmass, and you move and kill.
Well, you first you kill everybody, and everybody who survives, you just move out because that's what they're doing.
Okay, anybody could type it in right now.
They are moving the population out of Palestine.
They plan on making this into some kind of Dubai-style resort.
And even if you agree with this, if you are adamant against the Palestinians, the Muslim cause in general, I would say this: you should not be rewarding nation states for going in and taking land, especially when those nation states like Israel have told us time and time again that it is not just Gaza, it is not just Palestine, it is parts of Lebanon, it is parts of Iran, it is parts of Syria.
The Greater Israel Project is not a conspiracy theory, it is a patch that many in the IDF wear.
Okay, so when you look at that, that means that we are going to have operational military devastation in the Middle East over the next Lord knows how long.
It could be decades, just like this conflict has lasted.
And that is not something that I want to be involved in.
And of course, we have not signaled that might is not right because we have signaled might is right just recently with Venezuela.
And some of the cockwalking, the boasting, the chest-protruding stuff that Trump has been directing is all about Iran these last several weeks, especially with the protests there.
That again, if you think are totally and completely organic, let's say they started organic.
Highly skeptical of that.
If you don't think that U.S. intelligence and interests is in there supporting it, provocateuring it, trying to manage it just like they did in Egypt all those years ago, you are extremely naive.
That is what we do.
Yeah, well, and Iran, from what we have seen, we know is a mess.
And they, of course, the currency collapsed, so they started to protest.
Then they cut the internet, and then people got really pissed.
Like, that's when it started to, I feel like, really got out of hand.
And so, I guess that's that goes to tell you: you can take someone's money and they're going to get mad, but if you take their internet, they get really, really mad, even on Iran.
So, where are the Palestinians going to go?
Like, where are they taking them?
It's a great question.
You know, that's one of the biggest problems that we've had in the past whenever there has been large-scale warfare there is that there is not this large acceptance of the refugees.
Egypt, in particular, you would think as our ally would take these people.
They don't want to take them.
And there are numerous reasons for that that, you know, quite frankly, most people in the Western world, myself included, don't fully grasp or understand.
We don't know what Sunni or Shia culture really is.
We don't know the secular bases that are also there.
There's also a Christian contingency.
Obviously, Israel is largely Jewish.
So you're dealing with a completely different geopolitical social structure just in that region.
And when you look who stepped up to the plate for the Palestinians over the years, this is when you get into the realm of quote-unquote extremism or domestic terror or whatever we want to label it, right?
So you're talking about a populace that whether or not it's still 2 million after what just took place there over the last couple of years, I'm not sure.
But we're definitely well over a million people that are being physically moved.
And I'm not quite sure to where.
And by the way, this is where I am extremely sympathetic to refugees that dare to want to come to the United States, especially if they are from places like Iraq or Afghanistan, where I feel we had no business being.
You know, how could I begrudge these people for wanting to leave a homeland that at any given moment, a C-130 or a drone at 30,000 feet could end their entire wedding party or neighborhood, right?
I can't begrudge those people.
I think they have every right not only to be here, but to have some kind of support system.
You know, it was hard enough for me to move across the country into the Midwest, totally, I wouldn't call it totally free in the COVID-19 44 nightmare, but with limited restrictions.
Imagine the difficulty of coming from a Eurasian nation across the ocean to a culture that is, especially in that time period, I would argue that cultures had meshed quite a bit ever since the advent of not only the internet, but the magic box everybody has in their pocket.
But in that realm of like, you know, early 2000s, 2010, even 15, you know, I wouldn't say it's easy now.
I'd say it's easier now because there has been just such an influx of these different cultures, many nations where we're not involved really militarily.
And I can't agree with the type of refugee status we're just giving to people.
But unfortunately, when we look at the policy of the United States, I think it's been inverted for a reason.
And it has been inverted to try to empower the people that are represented up in Davos, if you will.
It was a heavy hitter crowd this year.
You had Bill Gates up there.
You had Eric Schmidt up there.
I think Gavin Newsom even made his way out to be kind of like the Democratic talking head.
As far as Trump, he brought Luttnicker along with him.
He brought Besant along with him.
But the one thing that we haven't talked about and talk about getting deep in the weeds is the stuff that even kind of transcends our foreign policy and the Trump administration in general.
And that's artificial intelligence.
And it was big talk there.
All right.
And some things that I was not, I was not even aware of were currently in play, which we'll get into in a moment.
A lot of people, rightfully so, are focusing on the Yuval Noah Harari lecture.
This is one of those guys that's basically not only talked about a transhumanist future, but a post-human future that I often warn about.
And Harari was talking mainly about how artificial intelligence is now going to come in in such a manner that's going to give humanity not only an identity crisis as to who and what we are and what our use is on the planet, but also us looking as human beings at AI as the new immigrants, okay, because they are going to be replacing so many people in so many different arenas.
And I want that to sink in for people.
Yeah, I haven't thought of it that way.
We are deep in the weeds of Jason Burmes.
Roger by Riverson, you're here, Mike.
You had something you wanted to say.
Yeah.
Moving on.
Yeah, well, I kind of wanted to go back to Palestine and Donald Trump's board of peace with a billion-dollar admission.
Is this his attempt to make Dubai Palestine?
Or I mean, what do you think of the board of peace?
What are they going to do?
It's a real estate board.
What do you board of peace?
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but like you can't put together a board of peace after your ceasefire has failed so broadly that not only have you had all the deaths that I just talked about, but you're literally moving out the population.
All as it is, it's just like what Trump announced for Venezuela, how they were bringing the oil companies back in, right?
The oil companies are now coming back in, the ones that cut the deals and then they were cut out in nationalization, and they're going to be running that with their own money entirely economically.
And we're just going to pay them back after the fact, right?
So that's, I mean, just look at that board of peace as like a corporate board as to what is going to happen in that region, who's going to secure what and who's going to get what business deals.
Again, that same, anybody can look this up.
I reported on it yesterday.
In the same day, they put together that board of peace.
Three journalists were killed by the Israeli military journalists.
And you go look at what their car looks like.
All right.
You tell me it's not targeted.
That's ridiculous.
That's the problem with this because, look, whether you like Trump and the administration or what they're doing, all of this is moving forward.
And with artificial intelligence, especially, Trump is very, very behind that.
And even though I was talking about AI in maybe a macro as to where it's going with Harare, here's something that I was completely unaware of that is getting put into place this year.
And actually, again, if you go watch this, this is a website I found today.
I didn't even know it existed.
But there was a panel on AI, okay?
And they start talking about AI agents and how they are going to be empowered to make purchases for you.
Okay.
So you have.
I saw this online.
Yeah.
So you have the CEO of Visa over there.
It's called, I think it's called Agenda Commerce or Agentic Commerce because they're calling them AI agents.
So that Zovisa this year is going to deploy credit cards for people that are then going to set parameters up for their little AI buddy, okay, that they're going to treat more and more like a human being to make purchases on their behalf without their consent.
DoorDash Generation Debt00:00:59
And they will just show up to their house and be deducted from their bank account.
This is starting this year.
It might be the worst idea ever, but what they're going to do is, first of all, for those of us that may be struggling a little bit more financially or are frugal enough to want to make our own purchases.
To those of us like myself that are old relics and dinosaurs, believe it or not, Aaron, and have never had a credit card in my life, if I can't afford it, I don't want it.
This is probably not going to be something that we use.
But for the DoorDash generation, for the generation that are taking loans out on their phone to pay for DoorDash, they're going to get sucked right in because their influencers are going to get free cards.
Cancer, AI, and Greenland00:15:48
They're going to get an allotment.
They're going to be like, my AI agent, look, it just showed up.
I didn't even think I wanted this.
Now you're going to be manipulating.
Seriously, think about it.
You're going to get manipulated by the AI so the AI can make a purchase on your behalf that you're tricked into believing when it shows up that you actually wanted it.
Wow.
Yeah, that's pretty nutty.
We're deep in the weeds of Jason Burmese Roger City Spirit.
So we were talking about Davos a little.
We're kind of straying out like we always do, but obviously Greenland's been in the news a lot.
Trump came back and said, hey, we're not going to take it by force.
You mean Iceland?
Either way, you know, right?
You know, Iceland's covered in green, Greenland's covered in ice, whatever.
So I heard something totally out of the rabbit hole that part of why they want Greenland, there's the military aspect.
Oh, yeah.
But also, they feel like they can put AI data centers up there without having to cool them with water.
Ah, you're getting it now.
Yeah, well, and that was just a totally random thing I saw as I was going through stories and stuff.
And I was like, I didn't really think about that because we talked about Musk wanting to say that he wanted to put him in space.
And I was like, how are they going to take water up there?
And then Todd McGreevy from River City's Reader is like, hey, Dumbo, it's minus 455 degrees.
But you should need water to cool.
And I was like, oh, I didn't know.
I don't know what the temperature is in space.
Bob Casey sold any houses on the moon yet?
No.
I mean, you know, we don't know about space.
I mean, we've allegedly been up there, but we're not even sure about that.
Well, again, just like the ocean, okay, how deeper you get down, there's more pressure.
I don't think space is one thing.
You know, we've talked about radiation belts such as the Van Allen belts.
Obviously, if you look at the stratosphere, the ionosphere, the atmosphere, you know, there are varying degrees.
However, the temperature, certainly, when you get up to where the ISS is, et cetera.
I mean, you are talking about, you know, subdegrees.
So you wouldn't have to worry about the cooling centers.
But let's get back to Greenland for a minute.
First of all, Greenland not only has a strategic military value, but a global commerce value.
Okay.
The military value has already kind of been shown in the past.
Anybody can type it in and declassify bases.
We have military bases.
And I would assume we still have a manned base or two, even though most of them are abandoned, even in conjunction with Denmark in Greenland.
Okay.
So you do have that aspect of where you'd want to build.
The United States largely already has a ton of technology and a ton of military at both poles.
Okay.
They have, again, post-World War II for a very, very long time.
However, in those regions, you know, it's not like Alaska.
It's not like Greenland.
You do not have a general populace because, quite frankly, they couldn't survive there.
In order to have the type of data centers the size of towns and cities that these people are looking to do, because again, they're about to take all our resources and just give them to the AI as they attempt to replace us.
That's the big sick joke.
It does make it easier if you are in an area where it's cooler, period.
You know, I'm glad you transitioned into that because you got two lawsuits going on right now.
Okay.
One is Conduct, Kentucky.
They're coming after the data centers and the companies, essentially, because they're saying they're not safe for kids.
These AI chatbots are already, you know, doing things with children that they obviously should not be.
There's that lawsuit.
Okay, that's great.
Musk and his Memphis, Tennessee data center is being sued because they're already already exceeded the electricity they agreed to use and lied to everybody.
They're lying to everybody.
Just so everybody knows, they tell you this is going to be great for your town.
The ones that don't even have the new mini nuclear centers that they plan on building at these facilities so that they can power them.
Right now, they're just taking all of your fresh water and all of your extra electricity and you're subsidizing it.
So what they did is they found a loophole and they brought a bunch of portable turbines and generators and generated way more electricity than they were supposed to.
Okay.
Now people are stepping in and saying that the Colossus facility needs to be shut down, has already added extra pollution and has overburdened the communities.
This is going to be par for the course unless you fight it tooth and nail.
We have seen some communities, I believe we reported on it a few weeks ago, Arizona was able to say no, say no at every opportunity with these things.
Because I'm telling you right now, there is no financial or human benefit to having an AI data center come into your community and literally soak up one of the life forces of the planet.
The life force for you, your children, your pets, the wildlife around you, the grass that grows, everything.
They're coming for it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the place you're talking about is in South Haven, which is Mississippi, but it's right on the border.
It's basically Memphis, Tennessee.
And so you're already in a major metro area where you're needing a lot of power and a lot of these things.
And in my, I guess my biggest worry is that they're going to start getting all these things up.
And like you said, oh, by the way, we actually are using way more power and way more water than we thought.
So everybody, your water bill is four times what it used to be, your power bills two or three times what it used to be.
And once again, what's the benefit for us, for humanity?
Like, you know, it's awesome.
On your app now?
Like, who cares?
Exactly.
And that's really not the benefit for these people at the top.
Not only, again, are they taking the water, but there is a reason that silver is probably going to hit $100 today.
It was just on the brink from what I've seen, it was $99.77 at its peak.
You and I, again, have been now talking about this for weeks.
I think it's going well over 100.
I think it's going to probably 200.
I've seen people make wilder predictions than that, but now we're in this weird bull market.
It doesn't matter what market we're in.
Silver, gold, lithium, precious metals, copper, you name it, platinum, they're all about to go through the roof because they need to be used in the technologies that are utilizing these data centers and beyond.
It was all anybody talked about at Davos in length.
I mean, you had the guy from Aramco, an oil company, talking about that they've saved all of their data over the last 90 plus years and they're feeding it into the AI right now.
He was one of the more honest ones saying, you know, you have to have a good data set because it's garbage in, garbage out.
What they don't tell you is that a lot of the garbage in is total and complete programming of whatever narrative or agenda that they want.
For instance, one of the terrifying things that they were talking about was the explosion of AI in the medical fields and pharma fields.
And one of the reasons for that, they said this over and over again.
There just aren't going to be enough doctors, oncologists, and radiologists to handle all the cancer.
Okay.
So apparently, just cancer is going to go through the roof and we're going to need robots to treat us for it.
Okay.
So I want people to think they're not talking about AI curing cancer.
They're talking about AI coming in so it can treat you for your cancer and what rate of, I guess what rate of flaws or what we would call misdiagnosis or maybe even medical malpractice will be acceptable for the AI.
Like, you know, color me, no thank you on all of it.
I don't want an AI doctor.
I don't want an AI nurse.
I don't want an AI diagnosis.
I don't want the internet of bodies.
I don't want to be monitored all the time within my body, let alone outside of it.
This is totally and completely nightmarish on every level, Aaron.
I couldn't agree more.
I've been saying that from the jump.
I'm not into any of this.
I think it's a bad idea for humanity.
I just, and I don't understand the push.
I get the Predator class wants to make money, control, blah, blah, blah.
But just some quick numbers here.
The numbers for people with cancer in the year 1900 is unavailable.
The number of people who had cancer in 1950 was 210,000.
This is in America.
The number of people who reportedly had cancer last year, 2 million.
And what are these AI data centers going to do?
The water, the groundwater, the areas around them.
I can't imagine that's going to be good for anything that breathes naturally.
You know, again, especially if you're going to put in the mini nuclear centers that many people are already proposing.
And by the way, I'm not against nuclear power in general.
I think that there is a large fear campaign out there.
I actually think it could be some of the cheapest and cleanest and potentially best energy to use for humanity.
But you notice we stopped all that in the 80s out of fear.
And now they want to just all of a sudden allow it for privatized corporations to monopolize for their artificial intelligence and not empower humanity with it.
It's a little odd, don't you think?
They're not going to the wind turbines, are they?
They're not going to the solar, are they?
And we've been lectured over and over and over again in this generation about our energy consumption, about our carbon footprint.
Can you imagine what the quote-unquote carbon footprint of an AI data center is in just 24 hours?
It's probably, you know, one of these data centers like Musk's, right?
His ex-AI data center, his Colossus facility.
I would assume at best, and I think I'm going to be generous here.
The running of that facility for 48 hours is like an entire human being's carbon footprint for their lifetime.
And I think I'm probably being generous.
But hey, feed the AI.
Yeah, that's crazy to know.
So we have a new plan, obviously, over in Cordoba on the river.
Quad City is the Exelon powering station.
Bob, have you, you've lived there your whole life?
Have you ever had any issues?
Like you ever had any extra fingers growing, the sign of a tail?
Or, I mean, but honestly, like any, you know, anything abnormal, like everybody in the neighborhood's got something wrong with them or anything like that.
So I think the bigger concern is 3M.
Right, because the chemicals are shady.
Yeah, and I've heard a lot of stories about that.
I don't know a lot about a lot of facts about it, but yeah, I've been hearing that for years.
Groundwater and cranking power out 24-7.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
But give, yeah, no, no, seeming, seemingly no contamination or minimal compared to 3M, which, again, there's a lot of stories about that.
I don't know what that looks like, but I've never seen any weird fish or weird stuff come out of the river.
No, like Simpsons three-eyed fish or anything.
Well, and maybe, you know, maybe that's another one of Matt Greening's futuristic thoughts is that eventually we'll have three-eyed fish, Jason Burmese.
Let's hope not.
And I'm pretty sure that we probably already do.
There's a lot of groovy things in the ocean.
But going back to the water, I mean, that, listen, I'm not some kind of like total corporatist or, you know, we should use this because, you know, it's good for them.
First of all, I think that gas, oil, great.
I don't necessarily think that we've been told the truth about oil, especially.
We've heard it's a fossil fuel.
We've heard that it's finite.
Doesn't seem too finite to me.
They are pumping and dumping all over the place.
You know, I come from a world where, you know, post 9-11, a lot of people were talking about this thing called peak oil.
You know, they were theorizing that the reason we were going into the Middle East is because by like 2010, we were going to hit peak oil and there wasn't going to be enough of it.
Seems to be plenty.
Okay.
As far as nuclear power, a lot of people don't understand that really, you know, from fission, the way that we're utilizing that power and the reason that water is so important is because really we're just heating up water and it's the steam from that water that is powering everything.
Okay.
So water is essential no matter what with that technology.
And as far as the water supply around here, you know, that is frightening to me.
You know, speaking, you know, I'm horrified by what is sprayed in the sky constantly and is totally unaccountable.
I'm horrified by the PFA levels here in the quad cities and in Iowa in general.
And that's something I think that we have to deal with.
I know that Kennedy, God love him.
You know, I think he's the star of the administration, which HHS has not only brought up the fluoride issue, but is now recommending that counties and states take fluoride out of their water supply.
Thank God.
But that is just one toxic chemical that should not be in our water supply.
There are plenty of them.
And the other thing is that we've moved as a society from when I was a kid and we actually drank out of the fountain to everybody is drinking out of some kind of plastic bottle.
Well, people are talking about the microplastics today.
The bisphenol A BPA issue is one that's only really gained attention in the last decade.
And we've been sucking down bottled water since the 90s, right?
So we've got big issues with our water supply in general.
And the other aspect that we don't talk about, forget about just what we're drinking.
Most of us, I would hope, are taking a shower every single morning.
And guess what, folks?
It doesn't just bounce off your skin.
Okay.
Your body absorbs that water.
You breathe that in in a hot shower while you're doing it.
So you obviously want the cleanest, freshest water possible, devoid of chemicals, PFAs, et cetera.
Yeah.
So that's so where I live, that's not even really an option.
I've got farm fields wrapped around me.
We don't drink our water.
We do shower in it, wash our clothes in it, stuff like that.
We have calcium deposits in it that, you know, every so often stuff wears out and it gets fogged up with it.
Water Woes and Waste00:01:29
So then we have to replace things.
And that's just kind of part of the deal, being rural.
But we don't drink the water.
We do coligand, but that's out of more plastics with the PFAs.
Mike just found a story.
There's a three-eyed fish around a nuclear plant in Argentina.
So I don't know if they maybe don't have the same regulations we do in terms of how they're handling their waste, but legit three-eyed fish.
Yeah, a wolf fish with three-eyed.
Yeah.
Cordoba, Argentina, or C-O-R-T-O-P-A.
So it's Cordoba instead of Cordoba.
That's a little weird.
I don't know Cordoba, actually.
Oh, yeah?
Spanish.
Yeah, Spanish.
So, yeah, we're seeing the effects of some of this stuff.
The water thing, like I said, I've always worried about it.
I've always said water is going to be more important than oil by the middle of this century.
Just because we have more and more people and less and less water, I don't know how much water we waste per day by throwing it away in water bottles.
I don't know how much water is sitting in landfills right now inside of water bottles that we'll never get back.
It's gone.
Unless, you know, I guess eventually the plastic deteriorates and the water comes out.
I mean, I don't know what that looks like.
But yeah, so now, hey, let's we already got a water problem.
First Commercialized Robots00:05:07
Let's dump a whole bunch of it into these AI data centers, which again, I don't even know what the hell we have.
We need them for.
Again, we need them because they are about to become people's new obsession, right?
There are so many people that are already extremely alienated, not spending enough time with their friends and family, already scroll like doom scrolling like hell.
That drives me nuts and I see it everywhere.
You know, obviously I see it sometimes with my nieces, which I don't love.
But when I see adults doing it and I see it a lot, just going to like my niece's volleyball game, I'm just like, what are you doing?
Like, keep it off your phone.
People are going to have to, first of all, it's going to be hard because a lot of people don't have any kind of discipline or restraint when it comes to these things.
But sooner rather than later, as I've been talking about, you're not necessarily going to know that you're interacting with AI.
There's going to be no label, no marker.
The overseas kind of outsourcing to telemarketing and telecommunications, that's going to end.
You're going to be talking to AI 99% of the time.
And they're going to make it very chic when these AIs are incorporated into different types of robotics.
Obviously, Tesla is doing their best right now to create the Optimus robot as the first commercialized robot that is in homes.
But I'm already seeing China go really, really quickly.
I would assume the first commercialized robot that you see start popping up as part of like some celebrity having it.
You know, it won't be funny like in Rocky number, what's it, Rocky 3 has got the robot?
Or is that Rocky 4?
I think so, because that's when he's like living large, right?
Yeah, Rocky 3.
That's prior to the Russian one, I think.
But yes, it's not going to be like that.
It's going to be like something very, very different.
And as soon as they're able to mass produce these and get them into the homes and the workplaces, you know, they're going to try to give them human-like personalities.
That's the only reason they're building them to even look human-like.
I say this constantly, but there is no reason to build a humanoid robot other than to get you to acquiesce and acclimate to being around these things and then essentially assign them an identity that is somewhat close to us.
We need to stop doing that.
You know, it's funny.
I was watching Predator Badlands last night.
Fun movie if you haven't seen it.
I totally recommend it.
But big plot spoiler.
The whole main line is that the Predator in this is with one of the Whalen Corporation's synthetics.
So if you go all the way back to the original alien, right, they're all on the ship.
And one of the crew is actually, you know, just a robot, right?
But they don't know it's a humanoid robot.
I don't think there's a human in the whole thing.
There's nothing but synthetic robots in this thing, right?
And I can't tell you how many science fiction pictures over my entire life and beyond have gotten us used to that.
Even Star Wars, the original trilogy, which, you know, I absolutely love.
I mean, the main, you know, comedy break entertainment are two droids, one of which just goes bee-boop bop, R2D2, that you humanize extremely.
You know, R2 is more than you know, just a robot or even a pet, he's one of the team.
And we as a society have been manipulated to feel that way for this very moment that they're going to start rolling out these robots.
Well, I think back then it was more of a science fiction idea, and now it's actually coming to fruition.
Which we discussed the Jetsons last week, and now some of the well, I mean, legit.
I mean, they're doing uh, you know, Rosie and the whole thing.
Like, we're seeing this stuff now.
You're talking to people on the TV.
You know, how crazy was that back in the 60s when the Jetsons came out?
Star Trek, yeah, Star Trek.
That one guy's a robot, isn't he?
In Star Trek, yeah, yeah.
I mean, like the first Star Trek in 68 when I was the kid, yeah, you know, you're scanning people with a machine to check their now.
You got a watch that will tell you what your blood pressure is.
Yeah, you know, I mean, a lot of these concepts were out there, and now they've actually just taken them and run with them.
Israeli American Influences00:06:50
And uh, it's creepy, man.
It's creepy.
I want to shift your word deep in the weeds with Jason Burmes, uh, brought to you by River Cities Reader.
Uh, a couple of different things I wanted to talk about.
One of them, because we can't go a week without at least touching on Epstein a little bit.
Uh, the Clintons have uh refused to Google it, they're not going in for this hearing with the Senate thing, they were found in contempt of Congress.
The Democrats in the House actually split on this, and that's how it got passed through that they're going to be found in contempt of Congress.
What do you know about this, Jason?
We'll see how far it can actually go in the case of a former sitting president and a former Secretary of State, um, especially when we're talking about the arena that they were in.
I mean, just that alone, especially for the public and where they've uh been able to achieve, right, is almost too much.
But then, when you get into Epstein, the arms dealing, uh, beyond Prince Andrew, into people like Leslie Wexner, I think that you go well beyond what may be possible to bring to justice via, you know, our injustice system, our Department of Justice, contempt of Congress.
We'll see.
We'll see where it goes on anything.
You know, one of the videos I did this week was a video, I think it was at the Israeli American Council a week or two ago.
And they are interviewing billionaire Miriam Adelson.
And for those that don't know who Miriam Adelson is, she is the wife of the late Sheldon Adelson, big-time billionaire, you know, American, Israeli, basically, military-industrial complex operative, but owned casinos, MGM Grand, you named it, knew Trump for years, actually was the largest donor to Trump in the first administration.
And don't quote me on this, but I believe she ended up being the largest donor in the second administration.
In fact, she's gone on the record saying that she would give another $250 million to Trump to try to run for a third term.
And, you know, as ludicrous as that sounds, people like Steve Dannon have really been floating this idea around.
And behind the scenes, there are people that are adamantly working to get Trump in there for a third term.
I think it's a horrible idea to even try.
But somebody like Adelson is very much behind that, right?
So I bring that up because you see these different people that are donating to politicians, are basically owning them.
And in this Israeli American Council thing, she gets asked, well, obviously you write checks.
What else do you do to have influence with these people?
And she just kind of sits there and smiles and she goes, Is it okay?
Will you allow me not to answer that question?
And then she goes, Because there are so many things I don't want to discuss about that.
And I want to be honest or truthful.
She didn't say honest.
She wants to be truthful.
Yeah, exactly.
Don't ask me how this actually works other than me writing the checks because I can't get into it without, I can't tell you the truth about it.
All right.
That's that's where we are with Epstein.
That's where we are with all these people.
And I bring that up again because you look at somebody like Wexner.
That's a good mirror image of like an Edelson.
So Adelson, he's in the entertainment arena via gambling, Vegas, et cetera.
And you look at Wexner, and he's in the quote-unquote entertainment arena through Victoria's Secret, modeling, et cetera.
You notice that all these billionaires that are connected to politicians and people like Epstein, they're all in the vice game.
You know what I mean?
They're all in this world, if you will, where they have women or men, like the Abercrombie and Fitch guy, or boys in some of these cases, or they have gambling, other vices, and then they are all connected to drugs all the time, right?
So, yeah, that's how the word world really works: is that the politicians that we get to see and hear from, yes, they have power.
Yes, you know, they have this direction that they go in where there's some independence, but at the end of the day, there are people above them, and they are the puppet masters that are also puppeteering the vices of the world.
You know, the sex stuff, the drug stuff, the economic stuff, you know, the big house, the big, all that stuff, the entertainment stuff.
It's these people.
And you really just, at some level, you do not see them being prosecuted.
And I think that the Clintons, especially being kind of established as American royalty, I don't know that they really have anything to worry about, unfortunately.
That's what, so that was the bottom line for me.
Like, why?
Why not?
Why not just go do your thing?
It sounds like you're going to get arrested on your way out of the courtroom.
Just go say your piece.
Yeah, we knew him.
We, you know, this, that, and the other, whatever, unless you do have something to worry about.
You know what I mean?
Like, if I'm innocent, and I guess just being put in that arena is in this day and age, considering the concentration of media and social media, et cetera, you know, what all that looks like, I could understand you just don't want to be in that spotlight.
But at the same time, you figure you'd want to clear your name if you could.
But again, clear your name of what?
Do you want to be brought up in any kind of government, any arena, any kind of public arena that somebody like Epstein not only had you on the plane and not only flew around with you on these trips, but actually funded the Clinton initiative?
I mean, seriously, like that's crazy.
Of course you don't.
So like your whole foundation, the Clinton Foundation, your whole legacy post being the president of the United States was funded by this guy.
Allegations Against Timothy00:03:24
That's not a good look, right?
So that I don't see that ever happening.
I wish it would, but you know, that's the outward truth of the matter that we already know.
He's never had to answer questions about it.
But you see how uncomfortable Trump gets when he's asked about it.
And he had a friendship with Epstein.
You know, a lot of the breakups, and we've talked about it here, may not have to do just with Mer-a-Lago and Virginia Vigufrey Roberts, but sour business deals on real estate, right?
So many of these people, if not all of them, that were close to Epstein or other people like this, know who they are and knew who they were.
You know, I'll give you just a microcosm when we're talking about sexual abuse.
Now, as of now, these are just allegations, okay?
But have you heard about Timothy Busfield yet?
Yeah.
So a lot of people think that just Timothy Busfeld is like another Hollywood actor that's caught up in another, you know, horrific allegation of child sex abuse.
And in this case, it seems to be three young boys as young as seven.
Okay.
Now he ended up having criminal charges, disappeared for a minute, then submitted himself.
He's out of jail right now.
All right.
Now, this is a guy that was in Revenge of the Nerds.
You know, he's like an 80s kid.
In fact, the first movie that he ever did was Stripes in 1981.
Okay.
In the late 90s, he was accused of similar behavior to a young teenage girl, in which a judge did end up ordering him to pay, I think at the time, $150,000.
Okay.
So you already have an instance where he paid out.
He had another allegation with an adult, which I think there was an NDA.
We don't know how it happened, but another assault allegation.
One of the lawyers from 30 plus years ago has come out and said, this guy's a monster.
I was waiting for the foot to drop on him.
He's not just an actor.
Go to his IMTV.
For instance, one of the allegations comes from a movie he was directing called Little Big League, you know, a movie where you would be surrounded by children.
But this guy was a director behind the scenes on big shows for decades, literally.
Things like Entourage.
His latest show is The Cleaning Lady.
I know a lot of people watch that.
There was a big push.
So he's not just somebody that was on camera behind the scenes.
He had a power over a lot of people.
And if this guy is now just being recently accused again of abusing children as young as seven, and he paid out all the way back in the 90s, you have the potential that this guy was abusing children, if guilty, for three decades and nobody said anything.
Do you really think nobody knew?
You bring that up.
Bigfoot: The Cryptid Debate00:04:41
So in something you just mentioned about like how all these people knew what Epstein was doing, but still ran with him and didn't seem to worry about it or think about it too much because I guess it was just such a standard that everyone that was doing this was getting away with it.
You know, who knows how many other, you know, on a smaller fraction, people like that are out there and had just been getting away with it.
That's why these politicians didn't seem to be worried about being around it because they're like, eh, you know, everybody gets away with it anyway.
This is just the things we don't talk about at the podium.
So good food for thought.
So to end, I got something kind of funny I wanted to bring up, and maybe we can talk more about it next week.
I have a friend of mine who has lived in the Pacific Northwest and has enjoys the segment here deep in the weeds with you every week, brought to you by River Cities Reader.
Wanted me to ask if you knew anything or had any stuff on Bigfoot.
Oh, I'm like, I have no idea if he does or not, but I will put it out there and then maybe we can punt to the next week and discuss it.
So you got any good Bigfoot stuff?
I mean, I got to be honest with you.
Not a super believer in the cryptid world, but I will always say this, especially when you're talking about bodies of water.
I think there's plenty to be discovered in the ocean.
I don't dismiss the possibility somewhere on the planet, whether or not it be, you know, deep in the weeds of California or somewhere in the Arctic of some type of ape-like creature.
I don't know that I've seen any super convincing evidence, and I've seen a ton of hoax stuff in that regard.
And some of my favorite, first of all, I've never been a big ancient aliens guy.
I think that actually, who is it?
Van Donegan, kind of the godfather of that.
He died last week or a couple weeks ago.
And rest in peace.
You know, he was asking some of the good questions.
I don't think he was getting the right answers.
But I remember when that show, I mean, basically, it became the history channel.
And I flipped to it.
Yeah, exactly.
And it was UFOs and Bigfoot.
And that's when you know you're doing crack journalism and crack historical research.
Or you're on crack.
I mean, one of the three.
Exactly.
So, you know, again, when I was a kid and I used to read the Time Life series on all these different things, there was this, there is like this one really convincing photograph.
It's not so much of what you would maybe consider Bigfoot, but it looks like a giant like humanoid orangutan.
And that's out there.
Anybody can go check that out.
You know, I think we know a fraction of our history.
And look, even panda bears at one time were just a mythical creature.
The monitor lizard as well, the Komodo dragon, all these things were once thought to be mystical and actually existed.
So look, is anything possible?
Sure.
Is it probable that Harry and the Hendersons was a documentary?
I don't know.
That was a hell of a good movie, though.
Big fan of Lithgow.
Big fan.
I love that movie.
And there is one video I've seen where they come around a mountain in the chopper and it looks like a giant guy, you know, and maybe that's what it was.
It was a giant guy in an outfit, but it's supposed to be Bigfoot.
And Bigfoot like sees or, you know, hears them coming and just stands down and gets down.
He looks exactly like a tree.
Like exactly, there's a bunch of trees around him and he just sits in a certain way and he looks exactly like one of the trees.
And you'd never, as soon as he does it, you wouldn't be able to pick him out from the rest of the trees.
And that's an interesting video.
Who knows if it's real?
And it's been out for a long time, though, so it's not AI, but I don't know.
But anyway.
Sounds like Arnold and Predator.
Yeah, there you go.
That was good stuff, too.
Anyway, always good stuff with you, Jason Burmes.
