Sam Tripoli, a comedian and conspiracy theorist, links Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit to insider trading claims while warning of WWIII risks tied to Ukraine’s winter battlefield shift and U.S.-backed proxy conflicts. He frames prisoners like Assange as pawns in elite-driven resource wars, blending psychedelic theories—from ergot in ancient wine to Hunter Biden’s sister replacing Joe Biden—with skepticism from Rogan. Discussions on lab leaks, Operation Paperclip’s Nazi ties, and "Tartaria" (a fringe Russian empire theory) contrast with Rogan’s focus on profit-driven healthcare scandals like Vioxx. Ultimately, the episode questions whether systemic manipulation or fringe narratives better explain history’s darkest patterns. [Automatically generated summary]
Well, there's a whole bunch to that, like has to do something with some processing chips that she has some like illegal insider trading on or something like that.
In a banned tweet, a top state media commentator reportedly said that China could forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane and shoot it down if it flies to Taiwan.
And what we did there, which was like, you know, like supplying weapons and funding to like extremists there and then drawing Russia into like a prolonged war to try to weaken them.
And then eventually the people we gave the weapons to and the money to, we make them the bad guys now.
And we're like, we got to go solve that problem, too, with like Al Qaeda and stuff that was in the Taliban and all that stuff.
And it seems like the exact same playbook that they run over and over and over and over again.
You know, he goes over to Russia to escape the grips of the United States criminal justice system because he reveals that the NSA has been spying on every fucking American.
Most of us don't even want to fight with each other.
Everybody just wants to raise their family, laugh at a good fart joke, drink a little beer, have a little fun, get laid once in a while, and it's like these power elites that all get us all to fight with each other.
Well, it's other people that, you know, they orchestrate it.
It's not the people that are just regular folks living their life.
It's the elites.
It's the people that are in charge of government, the people that are in charge of military, the people that are in charge of massive corporations that seek to consolidate power and control resources.
Regular people, most people just want to live their life and raise their family and have fun with their friends and do their job.
It's such a small percentage of people that are cunts trying to start wars and cause trouble.
With such a small percentage of people.
And the thing they're most terrified of is everyone being united.
If there was like a way where everyone could communicate very easily with everyone else.
There's language barriers and cultural barriers, but if those dissolve because of the internet and because of software that lets people translate languages quickly, that's going to help.
And it's just people are going to realize after a while that we have way more in common than we do apart.
That's easy to hide when there's language barriers and cultural barriers and distance barriers.
I think that the universe sends people down to help send humanity and to help direct people and humanity in certain way and directions.
And I think that's what he was.
And whether he was born at this time or born way back, you know when they had that one movie that was like, the story of Jesus is told 28 different times and 20 different...
For me, that doesn't mean that someone existed and they're just telling the same story in their own language, in their own way, but it's all the same story.
And whoever that was, whenever he was here, was very special.
And organized religion, which I have no problems with, but I think there's, you know, especially like the Vatican and Rome, hardened religion, taken out all the kind of mysticism of it and made us take it literal.
And that's not what I'm into.
I'm into a spiritual thing and the universe and energy.
So my whole thing is when we take a look at everything going on in the world, which is like, is there a small group of people that are running everything, right?
Oh my god have you ever seen like those photographs of because what they've done is they've maintained them and taken care of them and like Reap you know like refix them and refinish them.
They're fucking amazing.
Yeah, they have like 1950s dope-ass cars So if you can find like I know there's articles have been written on the cars of Cuba Poverty makes you find ways to thrive, right?
You have to figure out a way to play the game and win the game with limited resources and that would be taking an old car and learning how to make it look amazing.
They needed to become a mechanic and created innovative ways to keep their cars running.
Unfortunately, as the ban on American cars included American car parts, Cuban locals were forced to make repairs and restorations using parts gleaned from Russian and Chinese vehicles.
Primaria, the plethora of...
Oh, that's right.
I'd heard a lot of these cars have different engines in them.
Like, they don't have the original engine in them.
But basically, because so many people in America love classic cars, they've developed this industry where they can, you know, give you replaceable parts.
And then there's companies that, like, make you a brand new classic car.
So this is, uh, yeah.
So it's all stuff that they'll make, like, A-body, 1962 to 1976 Dodge Duster.
Let's go to that, because that's pretty obscure.
Well, actually, go to the Barracuda.
Go to the Barracuda.
Okay, so 1970, 1974, eBody, Barracuda, what do they sell?
I was in a high-speed car chase with a tow truck driver and a police helicopter driving one of those, like the 80s, 90s Mustang that Pablo Francisco gave me in a card game that he won and Rita Piazza was like, I fucking hate this car.
I was at a Laker game and me and my buddy Scott Ross, who owns 10th Planet in Ventura, we were going to a Laker game.
We got done.
I might have been partying that night a little bit, but I go and I go to the 7-Eleven.
I buy some stuff.
I get back in my car and I back up and I don't see this tow truck driver had parked illegally and I hit his car.
And I was like, what should I do?
And a voice inside my head says, go!
And I'm like, bro!
And I just go, right?
So we're just driving and I'm just driving.
Suddenly I hear, I look back, this tow truck driver is chasing me.
And we're just, and then all of a sudden we get into like this Robert De Niro Ronin like car chase scene through West Hollywood, all through West Hollywood.
And we get on Santa Monica and this car was like a beat up car.
It was like a junk car.
This guy's so crazy, this tow truck driver.
He drives up on the sidewalk and blocks all of the traffic from going.
And I had nowhere to go.
So I was like, fuck it, bro.
I back it up and I shoot the intersection.
I jump the intersection.
Boom!
And I take off.
And the way I got away was I valet parked my car at the Standard Hotel.
And Maz Jabani took me and we went down and did our weekend at La Jolla.
You think they're doing that consciously or do you think they're doing it like they're chasing the economics and along the way it actually becomes a spiritual battle because everything is a spiritual battle?
I think you just got to keep people at like a constant level of consumerism and a constant level of work and you'll always make money.
But you control the money this way.
The way to control people is to control their access to food and goods and control their access to travel.
So if you could limit their travel, if you can tell them that traveling's bad, if you can tell them that if they have to travel, they have to travel with other people, and then if you could change their food and tell them they have to eat bugs.
You have to eat bugs.
They're literally pushing that you're eating bugs.
They're pushing, you gotta stop eating meat.
Are you sure that regenerative farming isn't real?
Because the people that run it are saying that they can literally get to a zero carbon state where they're not emitting any extra carbon.
They can do that with regenerative farming.
I just don't think they can do it for millions of people.
What is the word for the meat that they're making where they're basically like reproducing steak cells?
Like they're making a lab-grown steak, but it's actual meat.
This is interesting to me because I'm like, if they're doing like...
If they can figure out what the building blocks for an actual cell are and recreate it perfectly, and if they could do that in some sort of a form that makes it a stake, that would mean they could probably do that if someone gets their arm blown off.
That would mean they could probably do, you know what I mean?
Like, that might happen 50 years from now with the same kind of technology.
They might create meat.
I think now they're just making it's like mush, and they put it together with like fat, and they just- They're just not very presentable at this point.
I think it was World War II... And the reason why they started doing it is because they wanted to make sure they were never caught without grain and caught without food.
Because there was, you know, one of the scariest things about war, particularly in those days, was famine.
Like, if you were cut off to a supply of food and food couldn't come in.
I mean, obviously, everything about war is horrible.
Everything about it.
But famine is kind of crazy, and I think they were trying to avoid that by supplying, you know, making sure there was like a surplus.
And so they made some deals with farmers.
Make sure this is an accurate interpretation.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly how it was, though.
I really don't know much about subsidies and how they work, but I do know that, you know, we make a shitload of corn that most of it is used for animal food.
The U.S. government created farm subsidies during the Great Depression to offset the surplus of crops and low prices of both crops and livestock.
The Netherlands where they're having these, they're blocking streets and lighting things on fire because they're proposing these new things to farmers that's basically going to put farmers out of business in terms of like how much methane you produce, right?
Yeah, yeah, burping's the big problem, more than farting.
You know, but the people that are the fans of regenerative agriculture, I'd love for them to sit down with someone who is like an economic realist who could tell us, like, can you do this everywhere?
Can you have animals just run free and shit, and then you have the chickens around, and then you have the pigs run, and they do everything they want to do, and the whole soil stays healthy from the manure and the way they eat it and everything, the way they eat the greens?
Or are you bullshitting me?
Like, is the only way to make McDonald's burgers for a billion people, is the only way to stuff these animals into these fucking cages and do that horrific shit that we see in those videos?
You want to eat vegetarian, there's plenty of really healthy things you can eat.
If you want to eat vegetarian, you should eat real vegetarian food, not some fake fucking meat thing.
If you want to be a vegetarian, eat Indian food, it's delicious.
There was a place, I mean, there's a lot of delicious vegetarian food, but there was a place near my house back in L.A. And it was this total Indian joint.
Well, they stretch us really thin, we're working more than we ever have, so sometimes we gotta stop, and the only thing open is that yellow arch, and you're like, oh man, I haven't ate that in a month, and then you eat it, and your body's like, go fuck yourself!
Megan Condry has vowed to ditch fast food altogether after she found the burger still looks exactly the same as the day she bought it back in 2017. Megan from Washington DC decided to conduct the experiment after noticing a forgotten burger in the back of her car had not started to rot after five days.
She said, it was untouched until around three weeks ago.
I was in the closet sorting out my Christmas stuff and I knocked the bag and the burger rolled out.
It's like when you get in a habit of having, like, chocolate shakes and burgers and fries and, you know, those fucking...
Buns and all the sauces and everything you get in a habit of that and then You're just giving your body too much to get rid of your you know, it's that's not nutrients Yeah, you're giving your body like this just rush of sugar and there's a lot of protein and fats in there too So like by itself like what I like to do is go to in and out and get those.
The In-N-Out thing is like, what they've done is said, look, it's going to take longer because we're going to cook it right now, but it's going to be better.
I mean, I'm just being honest with you, but right now I just enjoy being sober.
But, you know, the whole story about Bill W. at that one point where he had done acid and he wanted everybody to do the 12 steps and then trip balls, and that was going to be the spiritual experience.
And then he almost got ran out, so they're like, okay, no.
If you could do that, if you could do the whole spiritual journey and then work yourself into a place where you're capable of doing the psychedelic experience.
So if you're telling me that I have to believe in a higher power, and I have to do this, and I have to do that, and this is the way, like, are you sure?
Or is that the way for you?
Maybe it is the way, but it could get culty.
And I'm not saying Alcoholics Anonymous is culty.
I'm saying any kind of organization that starts to tell you what you're supposed to be doing and how to do it, it could get culty.
If you ever, there's a guy, Brian Mirorescu, he was on my podcast and he's got an amazing book and it's all about how the ancient Greeks and the ancient Romans were tripping.
It's called The Immortality Key.
It's an amazing book and it's actually opened up a field of study at Harvard now.
They're studying this part of the history of the ancient Greeks because they found these wine vessels And when they do a sample test on the wine vessels, they found ergot.
And ergot is a type of psychedelic.
It mimics like LSD. It's got LSD-like properties.
It's something like lysergic acid or it's related to lysergic acid.
So they definitely had at least that in their stuff.
And they found some other stuff, too.
I think they might have found psilocybin, too.
But that was what their wine was.
Their wine wasn't just wine.
It wasn't just...
So this is one of the things that he went into depth about.
Like, when we think of wine, the wine that we have today, like you get a nice Cabernet.
The thing I was telling you, though, about the Salem Witch Trials, we could look this up and make sure it's true, but I'm pretty sure it is.
What they did was they did a core sample.
They dig into the earth and through the core sample, I don't know how they make the calculation exactly, but they know where the years were as they go down.
And when they get to the years of the Salem witch trial, it turns out there's a late frost.
And when late frost happens, sometimes plants die and sometimes they get fungus.
And the truth of the matter is, is that I was talking about this on my Broken Simulation podcast.
I was...
I drove around that place like 30 times, because I have like really bad social anxiety, and I was just like, gotta go in, gotta go in, and then I was like defensive farting the whole time, right?
And then I finally went in, and I was like, okay, I'm okay.
But I have, like, really bad.
So, like, that's a big part of, like, why I was doing drugs, too.
Like, to be able to, like, be calm into my, to be into my, like, skin and being able to talk to people.
And, like, I wasn't a good drinker.
I never really liked drinking, but Coke was just like, every time I did blow, I felt like I was like Motley Crue in the Girls, Girls, Girls video, right?
unidentified
Just walking through, pointing the chicks, getting weird, dude, like fucking roll.
And then it just, it worked till it didn't work anymore.
And then, you know, just, I had a couple things happen and I fell back and then just like, you know, I had two girls and I said I had to change myself.
I'm somebody's dad, which is like the weirdest thing ever for me.
Like, I'll be with them at the park and I'll look at them and I go, I'm this person's dad, dude.
It's like I'm going to teach them their moral compass and all that stuff.
It's just a weird feeling, and it's the best feeling I've ever had in my life.
But I sometimes have this out-of-body experience that I'm this person's dad.
It's so weird to me.
But I love it, and I didn't want to embarrass them.
So I decided I'm going to clean up my act.
Go on the spiritual journey and it's been it's been a really great time It's like life is so much easier now so than it was before and it's just You feel like there's less resistance the way you live your life now, right?
Yeah That's a one of the problems with people to get like stuck in patterns, you know You've always behaved a certain way.
I thought a certain way so you get stuck in that pattern You always live your life doing blow and getting crazy you get stuck And so then to create a new pattern, it requires a lot of effort.
I always wanted to set a high score in a game that nobody else was playing, right?
I just wanted to have these rock and roll stories.
I thought we're so important and then I look back like nobody cares it's almost to the point of embarrassment like all this stuff I used to do all this chaos I used to get involved in and but at the time I thought it was what it was super important and then I realized it wasn't and I was just like that's beautiful man that's beautiful for you that you figured that out that you made that adjustment the store and all the stuff like like I So I really enjoy the store.
It's one of my favorite places to go.
I miss the time when you were all there.
It's like I'm the last of one of the Mohegans in terms of the whole death squad crew and all that.
I miss that.
But I also used to love the dead period, too, when we would all go there and there would be like 30 people in the crowd and you could go up there and bomb in dignity and just work on your shit, dude.
And you remember back in the day when you would do stand-up, you'd go to some of the bluer states, and it was very interesting.
The crowds in L.A. now are tricky, I would say.
They're tricky.
You gotta kind of like...
Learn how to present to them.
So I just did a Jimmy Dore show.
He asked me to do stand-up in this tiny theater he does in the Valley.
They're the best crowds.
You can just tee off, right?
And then I'm like, okay, gotta go do stand-up in Hollywood, and now I'm gonna have to figure out what this crowd can handle and what they can't handle.
Back in the old days, like, you would just sling dick and comedy dick in L.A., and then you'd have to go on the road and kind of, like, dumb it down a little bit.
It's kind of flipped now.
And it's like, in L.A., you gotta, like, can't say this, can't say that, can't say that, because they're going to shut down right on you.
On the road, you can just tee off.
Like, red states, like, used to be super conservative, right?
It's like people lost their fucking marbles versus people kind of went back to living their life and trying to just deal with the fact that it's a disease and hopefully you don't get it and if you get it, get treatment and you know.
Okay, that means when people are newly sober, either someone who loves them will send you in to knock the pipe out of your hand or just to make sure you don't use and abuse or do anything like that.
And he told her before the election, this is what Jeff says on my show, that they're going to get his dad in by the slimming some margins, and then they're going to figure out a reason to get him out, and they're going to put in Camel Toe Harris.
Maybe they thought that way back in The Wiz End, but I think now, after they've seen how she gets reviewed by the public, she'd be like the most unpopular president by far.
She'd be more unpopular than Dan Quayle.
More unpopular than any of the presidents that we make fun of.
If you don't know, this is a guy who let Epstein into the White House seven times.
They found him hanging from a tree 30 miles from his house from an extension cord with a shotgun wound to the chest, and they're calling that a suicide.
It says, according to Larry Nichols, and it says Larry Nichols was a former trusted advisor to Bill and Hillary, but it's just an article on a website.
So these media sources are slightly moderate, conservative, and biased.
They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words.
Okay, so that's why.
But you know, it's an interesting, like, you're always programmed to, like, when you see something's on one network or another, oh, what is this bullshit?
I think that's what's happening when you're eating mushrooms.
I think you're contacting other things.
The feeling that you have when you're in a high dose of a psychedelic, like a DMT-type trip, the feeling that you have of going to another place is unmistakable, right?
It feels like you're in another place.
That might be a place that's a real place, but you can only access it chemically.
Our idea that you have to access things physically for it to be real.
You don't have to open up a door to get in a room.
That's true.
But why do we think that way?
We only think that way because that's how we move around the earth.
But if you think about it, just experience itself.
The kind of experience that you get on a high-dose psychedelic, whatever the fuck that is, whatever is happening, it's an hallucination.
And everything is changing constantly around you and moving.
And if you play music, it dances to the music.
That's the wildest thing about some psychedelics, like particularly DMT. If you play those South American Icaros, those songs that they play when they do the ayahuasca ceremonies, when you do that, the fucking psychedelic imagery dances to the music.
I don't think any of those people have experienced it.
If they did, they wouldn't make it illegal.
They would immediately want to change their tune.
Because if you did DMT and then you didn't think that that was the most profound thing that's ever happened to you in your life, other than the birth of your children, You, you didn't do enough.
I would love if we, just like every politician, once they win an election, they have to have douche room day or do a psychedelic day where they just have to hit it hard, heroic doses, and then go into office.
They should probably do some DMT. They should probably do a series of things.
But the problem is there's not enough people that are doing that.
There's not enough people that are looking at their life Saying I want to have like a spiritual journey where I can sort of correct my path and make sure that I'm doing the right thing and I'm true to myself and I'm I'm on like a soulful pathway and It's because that's not encouraged in our culture.
That's all it is.
And some people seek it out, and those people become, you know, they become different people when they've had those journeys.
And I don't think it's for everybody.
I used to think it's for everybody, but I don't think it's for everybody now.
I've realized that when I thought it was for everybody, I was being foolish.
Some people are having a hard time with regular reality.
Well, you know, for me, man, it's just like, I think people, there's so much information out there that could help people change their life 180 degrees, and they're just, they don't know how to find it.
Like, when he's, he's like, thought, okay, I'm going to do this in a clinical setting.
It'll probably be, like, pretty mild.
He's like, no.
He goes, I was fucking tripping balls.
And those are legal.
So you can go and get, like, if you're depressed, if you've got anxiety, there's a bunch of different reasons why they do it, and they give people ketamine therapy.
I don't know what the...
What are the...
What's the basic...
Like, what's the requirements to get ketamine therapy?
Well, I like anything that helps you explore what you're feeling instead of numbing yourself out to it.
And I think that's a...
That's a big part of like I think what's wrong with a lot of our culture is like instead of trying to understand what you're feeling and why you're feeling it I think some people want to numb themselves out so they can continue down this path and I think we're all here on a path we're all here to learn something and sometimes the universe likes to tell us Hey, this isn't your path on it.
It makes you super uncomfortable.
And some people are depressed.
I think things like depression, anger, sadness is the universe talking to you about you need to change some stuff up.
Patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, end-of-life distress, chronic pain, drug and alcohol problems, and other conditions may be eligible for psychedelic-assisted therapy with ketamine.
You know, I'm in a place right now where I think things happen for me, not to me.
I used to be like, really think everything was happening to me.
This is instead of like, okay, what's the universe trying to tell me?
What am I learning from this?
What is my role in where I am right now?
And that's like, that's a big power shift in how I see everything.
And I think we live in a society that runs away from that stuff.
Oh, I'm sad, I'm depressed, I'm all that.
Okay, why?
Why are you?
Why are you going to take these medications?
And I'm not saying all medication people got to do what they think is best for them and there's a lot of great positivity and all that stuff, but a lot of people don't want to ask themselves why do they feel this way and why are they going down that line and why they want to do...
Maybe they're meant to do something else and they just got to get the, you know, The ability to make changes in their life.
You gotta make change to get changed.
That was my biggest problem.
I wanted change, but I wasn't doing anything to get those changes.
I think so many people just get stuck, you know, living their life a certain way, you know, thinking about things a certain way.
And what you're saying, having the philosophy that things happen for you, and live your life like things happen for you, like, you're gonna make better choices.
Whether or not you really truly believe that everything is happening for a reason, if you think that way, you're going to make better choices.
You're going to feel better about it.
I think there's a lot of anxiety that gets alleviated in certain people when they put their trust in God.
They put their trust that God has a master plan for it all.
It's all out of my hands.
I'm just gonna trust God and that and people say well, that's a foolish notion You don't have to think that way but some people that some of my friends that are atheists are some of the most anxiety-ridden Miserable well, they're just so freaked out and then some of them become spiritual air quote spiritual you know and I think that I don't think it's necessary for people to believe in anything,
but I do think that people have structures that have been long established because they help people get through just the fucking existential angst of being a person.
And a good strategy for that is thinking that there's a great deity that's watching over everything and thinking that you have a very special role in life that this great deity wants you to fulfill.
And so everything is happening for you.
It's all God's plan.
And if you think like that, it can be very self-serving in a good way.
It can help you.
One of the things a lot of people are burdened with is negative thoughts.
People are burdened with negative thoughts and anxiety.
Negative thoughts are the motherfucker of motherfuckers because you can't really just turn them off.
Like if someone goes, well, think positive.
Like, well, fuck you.
When you have negative thoughts, it's hard to get away from those bitches.
But if you really program your mind to think that there is a God that's watching over you and everything's going to be fine and everything is God's will and God has a master plan for you and just keep showing up at church and keep praying and you're going to be good.
That'll alleviate enough anxiety for you to get a lot more shit done.
But it's also like, what does the media choose to highlight, right?
It's like, there's a million people out there saying a million things.
What do you highlight?
And when you highlight it, it becomes like there's a trend when it's really just one crazy person that's just going, hey, Matt Spass is, I didn't even know that existed!
Spastic, often offensive, a person with cerebral palsy.
See, this is why.
Okay, so relating to or denoting a form of muscular weakness, spastic paralysis, typical of cerebral palsy caused by damage to the brain or spinal cord involving reflex resistance to passive movement of the limbs and difficulty in initiating and controlling muscular movement.
23,600 worldwide according to Monday numbers from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
The outbreak first spotted in Europe in late April has reached 80 countries, the vast majority in nations that hadn't previously had significant caseloads of the rare viral infection.
So it's a rare viral infection.
And monkeypox originated, where did it originate from?
Me and Duncan ate edibles, and we went to the airport, and we got so high we missed our flight, and not by a little.
It had taken off like a half an hour ago.
So we were stuck in this fucking airport, I mean, interdimensionally traveling, like so high.
And then we got a flight out in the morning.
So we basically stayed up all night till like 6 in the morning, flew into wherever, I guess it's Houston?
What's outside of Galveston?
Anyway, then got a rental car and then drove there.
So we were giddy.
We were silly.
We hadn't slept.
And then we were talking to this guy in this fucking laboratory where the walls are as thick as this building of plexiglass and inside there's people with spacesuits and they're manipulating these fucking viruses.
They have these big vacuum ducts in the ceiling that suck any air, any possible particle of an escaped virus out of them.
It is wild to see.
So this guy is showing me and he's like inside we have in this facility multiple diseases that could just wipe people out.
And so they're just trying to figure out what makes these viruses function, which gets really controversial, right?
And they're also trying to figure out how to develop vaccines for them and medications.
Like, how do you kill it in vitro in a cell culture?
They're doing all kinds of tests on them.
The scary stuff is when they try to make them better.
That's gain-of-function research.
That's wild shit.
And that's the shit that the Obama administration shut down.
I believe it was 2014 they shut it down.
Did they?
Supposedly.
But then, you know, the Trump administration came along, and according to Josh Rogin, Josh Rogin is a journalist, I think he's for the Washington Post, right?
He was on the podcast explaining it, that they restarted gain-of-function research.
And they were going back and forth in this very fascinating way.
Because the problem is the term.
I almost wish they had abandoned the term that Rand Paul had said, okay, did you or did you not take viruses and make it so they were more effective in infecting human beings?
And did you or did you not develop them on human lung cultures?
Did you or did you not do that?
Did you not alter viruses to make them more infectious, capable of infecting human beings?
Let's just say this thing where you're manipulating viruses, let's just call it abracadabra.
Did we do that?
Did we spend money?
Did we spend taxpayers' money?
Okay, 2017. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. National Institutes of Health announced that they would resume funding gain-of-function experiments.
Right.
So this is during the Trump administration.
So the moratorium had been in place since October 2014. Right.
So that's it.
So during the Obama administration in October of 2014, they went, let's stop doing this.
At the time, the NIH had stated that the moratorium, in quotes, will be effective until a robust and broad deliberative process is completed that results in the adoption of a new US government gain-of-function research policy.
What?
That seems like, read that statement again, will be effective until a robust and broad deliberative process is completed that results in the adoption of a new US government game of function research policy.
So that means they were planning on restarting it no matter what.
The crazy thing is now that they've done this and now that this virus has come out and infected the world, there's still the question of where it came from.
And there's still people saying it came from the wet market.
I just read an article recently and I was like, okay, who believes this and who thinks this is horseshit?
The center spars pandemic exercise narrative comprises a futuristic scenario that illustrates communication dilemmas concerning medical countermeasures that could plausibly emerge in the not-so-distant future.
Its purpose is to prompt users both individually and in discussion with others to imagine the dynamic and oftentimes conflicted circumstances in which communication around emergency, MCM development, distribution, and uptake takes place.
Well, that just makes sense.
Because in chaos, in any kind of an emergency, it's very difficult to get information out.
Okay, but all that's logical.
While engaged with a rigorous simulated health emergency scenario, readers have the opportunity to mentally rehearse responses while also weighing the implications of their actions.
At the same time, readers have a chance to consider what potential measures implemented in today's environment might avert comparable communication dilemmas or classes of dilemmas in the future.
Does that make sense that you would want to have something like that in place?
But for this, so if they outlined it step-by-step, and this is the plan they had in case a pandemic broke out, so of course they outlined it step-by-step.
And they did it by the same ways that they had devised to handle a pandemic if one was to break out.
I think it's way more likely that someone did some sloppy shit, especially when you find out that the laboratory where they think it might have emerged from had safety violations in 2018. Like, they weren't.
These people are not happy doing what they're doing.
Like, I'm sure they're getting forced into working with fucking viruses.
And there's probably some fucking...
You know, I mean, you see the way they treat the Foxconn employees.
How are they treating the employees at the virus place?
Are they tip-top magoo?
Is it like Galveston where they're all in the spacesuits?
My guess, my guess, I'm obviously not an expert, is that it got out, and they tried to panic, and they tried to contain it, and then they tried to lie about it, and then there's a bunch of people that do not, under any circumstance, want to tie it to US-funded research.
And when you read stories about, oh, it definitely came from the wet market, they don't have an animal host.
It always just seems like this, if it's just some random event that got out of hand, how come it always seems to fall the same way where the same people get the money and get all the power all the time?
Because they're the people that already have the money and the power, and they keep expanding it.
It's a natural human instinct.
It's a natural human instinct when you're governing people to try to have as much control over them as possible because you can get shit done.
That's why people are so angry at Trudeau with that trucker rally because it's a natural human instinct to try to demean those people And to say that many of them are racist and misogynist, it was a crude way he did it.
It was very clunky.
If you're a leader, you're a leader and this is the way you treat people with no evidence.
Because he didn't have evidence that they were racist and misogynist.
That's a natural human instinct to try to stop the people that are the dissenters.
Stop the people that are questioning.
Stop the people that are opposing you.
Stop them in their tracks by whatever means we can.
Investigate them.
Find out what they're doing.
Cut them off at the pass.
You have to have an ability to talk about stuff that you don't like, and protests are a part of that.
We just have a different set of rules down here, man.
We have the First Amendment.
It's a totally different thing.
We have this ability to express ourselves that's pretty rare in terms of- It really is.
Yeah.
I mean, other countries are pretty free, but this place is- Really fucking free in terms of the most of the world and anyone denies that like I'm not a fan of drone strikes and Unnecessary wars and capitalist agendas that ruin environments.
I'm not a fan of any of these things.
Let's just be real clear But when you look at it, you've got to look at the big picture.
This is like the first time over the last couple of hundred years that people just generally got along.
When a boat shows up at your shore, most of the time you don't think they're trying to kill you.
They didn't really understand virology back then like that.
They just gave it to them.
They just gave it to them by being around them.
That's what killed everybody in North America.
Killed like 90% of the Native Americans.
When we talk about the genocide of North American Indians, it's real, 100%.
But it's also, disease did it too.
Disease killed most of them.
That's probably why the fucking Mayan pyramids were left there.
That's probably why when you go through the Amazon, when they do that LIDAR scan of the Amazon, they find these ancient pathways and structures that indicated grids where cities were.
I think it only makes sense when you see shit like the pyramids and you see some of the really ancient structures like Gobekli Tepe and you're like, what?
That we were the children of the idiot stoneworkers of Egypt and everybody else died.
My joke was that the dumb people outfucked the smart people.
But I think what it really probably was was some sort of cataclysmic event.
I think it happened all over the world.
And I only think this because of talking to Randall Carlson and all the physical evidence that he provides when they do the core samples and they find all that iridium at like 12,000 years ago and there's another moment too I think like 10,000 years ago.
Basically, 201 is a lot like what the thing I was telling you where these people got together and they just basically role-played out what happened if a giant pandemic came out and scenarios and it just...
Totally matched up to what happened.
Now, the only tiny pushback I put is that you see laws being passed for COVID before the pandemic actually happens.
What do you mean?
Certain laws passed to give the government certain powers.
They died in not doing live streaming, but died in their cars trapped in fires in Northern California.
That one big giant fire.
A lot of people died from fires.
I think there was a very high number of people that got stuck on this one road.
Imagine, man, you're stuck in traffic and you watch the fire just evaporating the cars in front of you and you know you can't go backwards and you can't go forwards and you're stuck with your family.
That's one of the reasons why I had my Land Cruiser made.
But it's got floodlights so I can see all kinds of shit with it.
But most importantly, these cars have solid axles, front and rear.
It's a real off-road vehicle.
Even though most people that bought them used them for mall crawling, they were using Afghanistan, they were using a lot of overseas military applications.
They're fucking durable as shit.
That's why a lot of those guys who came over, like Jack Carr, the guy who wrote The Terminalist, the reason why, if you watch that Television show, and in the book, Chris Pratt's driving a Land Cruiser.
He's driving a 60 series, a 62 series, which is a dope model year.
And he's got this souped-up one by the same company.
You got to live a couple miles outside of a place like L.A. I mean, a couple hours outside of a place like L.A. to be able to have enough time to evacuate when the zombie apocalypse gets in.
I didn't think about that until COVID. I mean, I did think about that, but not really think about that until COVID. When COVID happened, I was like, what if this was way worse?
And what if the power grid went down?
And what if there was a solar flare that blacked out all communications?
And what if there's an asteroid impact that takes out Chicago and blows our grid to pieces?
And there's a nuclear winter because of the fucking- I think about that all the time.
That can happen, man.
Yellowstone can blow.
There's a lot of things that could go wrong.
But the asteroid impact one is one of the most likely.
I think if you look at the impact theory, and the concept is that people were super advanced, they built all these giant structures, and then something happened, and then they had to rebuild.
It almost kind of makes sense, because you have people that are super intelligent, but they're acting like fucking total psychos.
Like people would if it was like a Mad Max scenario and then it eventually evolved to be less of a Mad Max scenario.
And then, you know, it became just kings and monarchs and ruling over people and famine and disease and occasionally witches and...
But the reason why people are so fucking smart and why none of it makes sense is because we did have a certain level of sophistication at one point in time that we don't have anymore.
We just, we just kind of go at each other and it works.
And I just enjoy it.
He doesn't want, he believes in some stuff he doesn't want to believe, but that's why the show's great.
And I enjoy it.
I love hidden history.
I kind of started getting into it when this author, Matt LaCroix, came on my podcast.
He told me about all the pyramids and how all the pyramids around the world have such similar architecture and design and how they're on all these ley lines.
I had this woman who kind of helped change my life.
And she was saying the same thing, but in a spiritual way.
And I go, wow, man, we got science over here saying this, and then spirituality saying this, maybe there's something to it.
And it's just about all kind of like the Anunnaki and stuff like that, whether you want to get into that.
But I believe we have a long, long history that we've been lied to about how really special we Have we been lied to or are we all trying to figure it all out?
This is the problem that I have with a lot of conspiracy theorists is that they want to think that someone in every Every facet of life, someone has it completely under control and knows exactly what it is and why we're here.
What's wrong with that is that everybody started off as a baby.
Everybody that's alive today started off as a baby.
And they started off as a baby fairly recently.
So I don't think they know.
I don't think it's possible.
I think you'd have to be alive back then to really know what the fuck is up.
And even if you believe, even if you 100% believe, you don't know for sure.
Even if you believe in some wacky skull and crossbones fucking scroll that they pull out where they tell you how the earth was formed and that the Anunnaki are coming, you gotta be prepared and you gotta suck a dick with a Polaroid because we have to have evidence on you.
That is a common theme in cultures when they take over another culture, right?
They make them assimilate to their laws and their gods and their way of living.
With the Native Americans, one of the things that's most demoralizing for the men was they cut all their hair off.
They would shave their heads.
They'd give them buzz cuts.
I was reading this book.
I think it's Black Elk Speaks.
I think it's that one.
About this guy going through that whole system and being alive during the time when the Native Americans roamed the plains.
And being right there when it all got taken down and destroyed.
And being alive when like Sitting Bull, like that whole...
Little Bighorn thing went down.
They killed Custer.
All those Americans fucked up and they came in.
There was a giant super camp of Native Americans that have come together in union for the first time ever and they slaughtered them.
This guy was alive when all that happened.
And then went on to be captured by the system and have to live on a reservation and the whole deal.
And these people that tell these stories about those times, it's no wonder why so many Native Americans are alcoholics and stuck on these reservations in horrible poverty.
The whole thing was atrocious.
It's a terrible moment in history when you think that that is how history was done over and over and over again.
This is like, what we're dealing with today, with everybody being woke and super sensitive and crazy, is still way better than living as a Plains Indian in the 1800s and having all this shit happen to you.
All the things that are happening in society, even if they're questionable and even if they're problematic, at least for most people, are moving in a better direction.
Most people, I mean, even people that want to be woke, why do they want to be woke?
What does that mean?
Well, they want to be the most sensitive, the most inclusive, the most kind.
So, like, their intentions are probably good.
And then they get crazy with it.
And then some people are, like, hyper-aggressive with it.
Like, you know, the few percentage on each side, whether it's the right-wing people that want to take down the Capitol, or the left-wing people that want to light the Capitol building on fire because, you know, you're not supporting trans women's rights to have babies in the bathroom at Kmart.
At what point in time, I mean, I'm sure there's probably a law, but at what point in time do they decide that someone can own that?
Because if you're going to sell oil that you got out of the ocean, first of all, you should give us a piece, because sometimes you guys fuck up and it ruins the beach.
I think there's a lot of people, but I think there is a push to not allow us to know how special we are, and that really is a big part of what's everything going on.
When you study, there's this book called Murder by Injection, and it was talking about how the Rockefellers and what they did to the healthcare industry.
Murder by Injection, the story of the medical conspiracy against America, paperback.
391 ratings and five stars.
The present work, result of some 40 years of investigative research, is a logical progression from my previous books, The Expose of International Control of Monetary...
Issues in banking practices the United States a later work revealing that the secret network of organizations through which these alien forces wield political power The secret committees foundations and political parties through which their hidden plans are implemented and now the most vital issue of all the manner in which these depredations affect the daily lives of Oh boy,
this is a run-on sentence from a guy that's on Adderall, son.
This guy's on the good shit.
He's on that, I need to write a book right now, Adderall.
Basically, the Rockefellers created the basically funded the AMA to basically almost make it so it was impossible unless you played ball with them to get anything and get any funding going to be seen as legitimate.
And they controlled it through that.
And they ran out any holistic medicine or anything like that that wasn't involving a pill or pharmaceutical companies or anything like that.
Now, I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm not...
I'm not explaining it as well as it should be, but...
But then that could easily be manipulated to go the other way so that you are buying snake oil and you are buying these things that maybe aren't the most healthiest for you when there's healthy options out there that maybe someone can't make as much money off of.
He's an American white supremacist, anti-Semitic, conspiracy theorist, propagandist, Holocaust denier, and writer.
A disciple of the poet Ezra Pound.
I don't know who that is, but hold on.
In which he alleges that several high-profile bankers had conspired to write the Federal Reserve Act for their own nefarious purposes and then included Congress to...
And then what?
No, not included.
Enacted into law.
Enacted into law.
The Southern Poverty Law Center described them as a one-man organization of hate.
The problem is the Southern Poverty Law Center, didn't they...
Have a similar designation for Sam Harris?
Wasn't there an issue where they called him an anti...
They called him something.
I don't want to put words in their mouth.
But there was a real issue with multiple people being accused of horrific offenses by them.
I know, but why is it so exciting for you to think that that's true?
That's the case.
Instead of that people are messy, and that the American Medical Association was trying to figure out a way to govern and figure out what's real and what's not real, and have high standards in terms of what medications they accept and what physicians they accept, and then along the way, money comes Compromises that.
And then people start denying the use of certain medications because they're not profitable and pushing and propagandizing towards other medications and maybe not even also being deceptive and inaccurate about test results because they want to achieve a desired result that will be more profitable.
But what I'm saying is that the roots of it were not this nefarious plot to imprison Americans.
The roots of it were most likely that they were trying to figure out what is legitimate medicine and what is not legitimate medicine.
And that along the way, Then nefarious people can compromise the system that's already in place for profit if they have some sort of a power system that allows them to dictate who gets funded and who doesn't.
Right now, I think, goes back to what we were talking about before, that certain people do get compromised by the thoughts of profit.
And whether it's people that are the head of pharmaceutical companies that are pushing some...
New medication that's going to be very, very profitable or, you know, whether it's the people that decide to fund certain research and not fund other research or rig studies or also like throw out bad studies.
The thing is, it's not transparent.
You know, if they do like 10 studies and they can do 10 and throw out eight and find two of them that show a good result and they can say, we got a good result.
And the way they can describe these results is like really sneaky.
And this is what they get busted for.
And this is why we found out that they lied about opiates being addictive when they were pushing Oxycontin and Oxycodone and all that shit.
There's a direct paper trail.
It shows they were deceptive.
You know, and this is what they've done, like, big corporate agencies have done this forever.
A little boy, Hans Schultz, the blue-eyed son of a Hitler youth member, would walk uphill half a block each afternoon from the German school to his white stucco house in the Argentine ski resort.
A Baroloche.
Steps from an icy lake hugged by Andean peaks.
Inside he'd often find his dad, the president of the town's German-Argentinian Culture Association, sitting with his vice president and close friend, an austere, well-respected delicatessen owner named Eric Pribeke.
Last October, Prubiké died in Rome, where he spent his final years under house arrest, serving a life sentence for his role in carrying out the massacre of 335 civilians at the Ardietine Caves in 1944, when he was a captain in the Nazi SS. But from 1946,
when he was smuggled to Argentina, until 1994, when the TV journalist Sam Donaldson confronted him on a Barlow Street.
I hope I'm not fucking up that word.
Barlow Street, Pripyke lived a comfortable, if fabricated life in this Bavarian-styled city at the bottom of the world.
Invent NASA. The horrible story of NASA is that NASA was constructed with people from Operation Paperclip, which was Nazi scientists.
Like, not just people that were working under Nazi Germany, but people actively practiced as Nazis.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, Google this, make sure it's true because I keep saying it.
At one point in time, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, I believe, said that if Wernher von Braun was alive today, they would prosecute him for crimes against humanity.
I know I watched a documentary where a guy who was a concentration camp survivor remembered seeing Wernher von Braun at the camps, or at the rocket factory.
But it's a fact that they used Jews as slave labor.
The United States record on this issue can basically be divided into four periods.
During the first, which lasted from the end of the war in 1945 until approximately 1948, the U.S. government played a major role in the prosecution of senior Nazi officials at the Nuremberg trials and of other criminals in additional proceedings, some of which were held in former concentration camps during the second period from 1948 until approximately 1953. The exact opposite happened.
With the Cold War already underway, the US lost interest in actively pursuing Nazi war criminals, preferring to build up West Germany as a bulwark against communism and therefore adopting a far more lenient attitude towards former Nazis, some of whom were enlisted as intelligence sources or rocket scientists.
Their criminal Nazi pasts ignored.
Equally appalling, Was the fact that during these years US immigration authorities allowed entry into the United States as refuge to thousands of the worst of Hitler's East European henchmen.
Holocaust crimes, however, could not be prosecuted in the United States as they had been committed overseas, and their victims were not Americans at the time of the crimes were committed.
So instead, Nazi criminals were prosecuted for immigration and naturalization violations, that is, for concealing their wartime past.
Although this appeared to be a cop-out of sorts, when announced, the decision yielded relatively successful results.
The good news was that it was relatively easy to win such cases compared to war crimes prosecutions.
The downside was that the punishments, denaturalization and deportation, were often grotesquely incommensurate with the crimes.
Well, I mean they would talk about for like the longest time up until almost the 80s or early 90s like in Huntsville You weren't allowed to talk about how he was a Nazi You'd have to be because everyone was like convincing themselves like he didn't want to do it and stuff like that Think about those times man think about 47 where you know when they were doing all this or 48 when they're bringing all these guys over here How would anybody find out?
Wernher von Braun received an unpleasant surprise.
A West German court asked him to testify in the trial of three former SS men from the Mittalbaudura concentration camp, which had supplied slave labor for the production of the V-2 ballistic missile.
Von Braun had been the technical director of that project and visited the associated Mittelwerk factory a dozen times.
Now the head of the center that managed the gigantic Saturn V moon rocket, he was afraid the attendant publicity would damage his reputation and that of NASA. He tried to beg off, but in the end spoke to the judge and the court and At the West German Consulate in New Orleans on February 7th,
1969. He denied any personal responsibility and put as much distance as he could between his, say that word, Pienemünde Rocket Development Center and the Middlework Complex.
I guess they felt like we were in the Cold War with Russia, and we have two choices.
Either lose the war because the Russians get the Nazis, or we get the Nazis.
That's some shit that you have to do.
It sounds horrible.
It is horrible.
But so is war.
And so is losing a nuclear war to the Russians, right?
And if these motherfuckers are making Weapons and and and fucking superior jet engines and all kinds of crazy shit the Germans were doing and Making rockets they were very advanced with rocketry and Those crazy motherfuckers, they had to grab them.
That's what's sick.
What's sick is it was probably the thing to do.
Because if Russians got all of them, can you imagine if the Russians got all the Nazis?
You want some hot Russian ladies to keep company with you while you're designing the next fucking apocalypse weapon that's going to destroy everything?
Let's get all the greatest fucking scientists that you got.
The interesting thing about this World's Fair, I think this was the Tesla Edison one where they were about to, like, AC, DC power was a really big thing.
Let's see, they were experimenting with electricity for the first time, and it causes a massive fire.
What a shocker.
Well, don't you think maybe they didn't know what the fuck they were doing, Sam?
For three hours, the flames raged along the past end of the Court of Honor until nothing was left but charred timbers and blackened plaster.
A shower of sparks fell upon the ice in the lagoon until it looked like a sea of fire.
They fell upon the adjacent buildings, threatening them with destruction.
It was a magnificent spectacle that drew ceaseless exclamations of wonder and awe from the spectators that crowded the grounds in the vicinity of the fire.
It was the greatest pyrotechnic display of the fair.
But would you think that it would be possible that the winds were really strong and an actual accidental fire that happens all the time broke out and it destroyed those buildings?
It's very interesting, dude, because, you know, you go through a lot of these big cities and you kind of see this weird kind of ancient architecture, and then it's surrounded by modern architecture, and it just, the two don't match at all.
One is, like, very advanced.
Like stuff we don't see anymore, and now this new stuff.
And it's just like, it's really mind-blowing.
And you see a lot of this stuff, especially when you go to the smaller cities.
Like they went around and got rid of a lot of this stuff in the bigger cities, and they didn't...
The Panama-Pacific International Exposition proved so popular and profitable that long before its closing proposals were made to save all or part of it.
Architect Willis Polk in particular lobbied heavily for the preservation of the Palace of Fine Arts, the Palace of Horticulture, South and North Gardens, and the Avenue of Palms.
Louis Christian Molgart told the Commonwealth Club that when the exposition buildings are torn down, then will we have destroyed one of the greatest architectural units which has ever been created in the history of the world.
The influential club, like many others, passed a resolution pleading for the preservation Of as much of the fare as possible.
Speculative forces proved far stronger than the dream, however, and the arches and towers were brought down in clouds of colored plaster, revealing their fall, the underlying lath framework.
The South Gardens were scrapped clean of paintings, fountains, and sculpture, and small buildings were moved to the waterfront and barged throughout the Bay Area.
The North Gardens, Marina Green and Yacht Harbor remained a gift of the exposition along with the Column of Progress with its adventurous Bowman at the end of South Street until the 1920s.
It succumbed to automotive collisions and was pulled down.
Would you do me a favor and hold on, go back to that and Google the adventurous Bowman at the end of South Street?
What is that?
So that was the last thing that remained?
What did that look like?
See if you like images.
So there it is.
So it's a statue.
And so too many people hit the guy with the bow and arrow, and that was the last thing remaining.
Now, it sounds fucked that they would tear that stuff down, but, you know, I'm open to the idea that some idiot owned the land, or someone wanted to do something else with it, and they decided to destroy it and build new shit there.
You don't think so?
Like after a fire, you think that they would have decided to preserve it?
What if preserving it would cost a shitload of money?
Well, it just becomes like, before the internet, we only had a few different kind of ways to get stuff.
And these people controlled all that.
Just think about all the stuff that people were able to get away with before the internet was here, and people could do their own research and stuff like that.
And to control the church.
Dude, you look at the Vatican, that out of nowhere, it's like, what is that?
It's a fascinating book, because if the guy was right...
The thing about it is that there's, for sure, in a lot of ancient religious artwork, there's depictions of mushrooms.
For sure.
And for sure they thought that if they ate a mushroom and tripped balls, they probably thought they'd stumbled upon some gift from God, some magic, something that reaffirmed all of their beliefs in the world.
Just like, you know, the people that thought witches were real.
They did the LSD bread and they fucking tripped balls and killed all the witches.
Those people probably, when they were consuming mushrooms, they probably thought that God had given them this fucking amazing gift to communicate with him.
And they had to hide that information in any way, shape, or form.
And so they did it in stories.
And they hid the meanings in allegories and in all these differences.
This was John Marco Allegro's belief in that he broke down the word Christ.
He traced it back to an ancient Sumerian word that meant a mushroom covered in God's semen.
And I also think that, you know, the Vatican has a real interesting role in, like, the interpretation of the Bible and what the Bible represents and how they try to make it, like, literal instead of, like, a spiritual thing.
And, you know, I mean, if you kind of take a look at, like, St. Paddy's Day, right?
Some modern pagans refuse to observe a day which honors the elimination of an old religion in favor of a new one and wear a snake symbol on St. Patrick's Day.
The idea that St. Patrick physically drove the pagans from Ireland is inaccurate.
What he did do was facilitate the spread of Christianity.
Seeking the Magic Mushroom is a 1957 photo essay by amateur mycologist Robert Gordon Wasson describing his experiences taking psilocybin mushrooms in 1955 during a Mazatec ritual in, how do you say that?
They have the vessels that these people drank wine out of, and they found ergot in these vessels.
The Liberty Cap and the Fly Argaric, which is, um, Fly Argaric is, uh, I think it's a type of Amanita muscaria mushroom, grow in Ireland and are both believed to produce visions of fairies and leprechauns.
But hold on, before we do that, before we do that, we'll go to that, I promise.
In Ireland, the trip goes...
The trip one goes from magic mushrooms described as going away with the fairies, being off with the pixies.
In pagan times, imba furosni were psychedelic poets.
The poets spoke of eating the red flesh of a pig, dog, or cat, which is believed to be in reference to the fly augeric, because that mushroom is red with white.
It looks like Santa Claus, which is another fucking conspiracy.
Okay, anatomy was still in its infancy, but the day's social and ethical mores frowned upon it.
A steady supply of human bodies was hard to come by legally, so Houston, Hunter, and Fields' other pioneers had to turn to grave robbing, either paying professional resurrection men to procure cadavers or digging them up themselves to get their hands on either paying professional resurrection men to procure cadavers or digging them Researchers think 36 Craven was an irresistible spot for Houston to establish his own anatomy lab.
The tenant was a trusted friend, and the landlady was his mother-in-law, and he was flanked by convenient sources for corpses.
Bodies could be smuggled from graveyards and delivered to the wharf at one end of the street or snatched from the gallows at the other end.
When he was done with them, Houston simply buried whatever was left of the bodies in the basement rather than sneak them out for disposal elsewhere and risk getting caught and prosecuted for dissection and grave robbing.
Franklin was probably aware of the illegal studies going on in his building, says the Benjamin Franklin House, but it's doubtful that he was involved himself.
Still, we can't imagine that.
Curious man that he was, he didn't sneak down and check out the proceedings at least once or twice.
Of course he did.
Could you imagine if you're my friend and we live together and I say, Sam, what are you up to?
You're like, bro, we got to find out how people work and there's only one way to do it.
We got to look at bodies.
Whoa, how you gonna do that?
We gotta find a place where we can fucking legally or secretly look at bodies.
Well, I've got a basement.
Okay, so what do we do with the bodies?
We'll fucking bury them, bro.
But back then when they were studying medicine, isn't that what they did?
Like all those people that like studied anatomy back then, how did they, if it was illegal to study anatomy, if it was illegal to study bodies, how else would they find out?
Franklin's history as a Mason was one of the historian's initial points of inquiry.
Though shrouded in secrecy, Masonic rituals have dark known undercurrents which have at times gone horribly wrong.
For example, in a 2004 initiation ceremony, a new member was accidentally shot by a member who meant to fire an empty gun but instead fired a loaded one.
But when historians dug deeper into what was going on in the Franklin home during the years, the bones dated back to, they discovered the real culprit behind the bones is one of William Houston.
What do you think is going on now that one day some assholes like you and I will be sitting doing a podcast talking about what the government is doing today?
Imagine?
Imagine.
Imagine.
30 years from now.
They're talking about how Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan and started a war with China.
That we underestimated China's response and that was the initial start of World War III. Imagine if that's what it is.
And it's just weird that we need those guys to do it on YouTube and we're not seeing Saturday Night Live do it and all these others because that's what should be done.
It's kind of crazy, but even just a little bit, it just seemed like when, and this is my kind of problem with comedy right now, and I love all comics, but there's a lot of comics who are like my generation who felt like the censorship from the religious right that still can't, that just don't understand that that censorship, yeah, there are crazy religious right people out there, but the censorship is now from the left.
Now, the real conspiracy theorists will say that this Roe vs.
Wade thing is to distract us from all the other stuff going on in the world, so that we'll fight over that, because it's such a hot-button topic for America.
People are so divided.
On abortion rights.
It's so important.
It's such a line in the sand for a lot of people, especially women.
A woman's right to choose is such a line in the sand that when they take that away, then people are going to be fighting so hard for that that they're going to ignore all the other shenanigans that are going on.
Well, I think the biggest problem that the right to choose people messed up on is that so many of them were anti-right to choose when it came to getting the vaccine.
Yeah, but it still is a public problem if you have 100 friends and one of them dies from this fucking thing, especially people that are vulnerable, people with autoimmune diseases, older people, overweight people.
I get their perspective, and I get if it really did stop the spread of the virus that it totally makes sense.
The problem is, once it was recognized that it didn't, they stuck with the same game plan.
Instead of saying, hey, what are the other options?
What are the other things to do?
And how many people exactly are experiencing adverse symptoms and effects from this?
How many people are hospitalized because of it?
What's happening?
Like, really happening?
Instead of pretending that it's all good, Let's look at all of the good it does, and then also what's the bad it does, and let people make informed choices.
That's always been the case with medicine, especially when you're talking about something that may or may not help you, because it may or may not stop the spread.
It may help you if you encounter the virus within a certain period of time, but then, you know, a lot of places are saying if you were vaccinated and boosted a year ago, it doesn't count anymore.
Yeah, there's certain people that, and Dr. Drew's talked about this, from the booster do have, and maybe even from the second shot, do have an adverse event.
I know people that have had it.
The question is, how many?
The question is also, when you're mass-vaccinating, right, when you're giving a medication to...
300 million people just in this country alone, right?
Or whatever it is, 260 million people, you're going to absolutely have some adverse effects.
The question is, is it worth it to risk that because the benefit is overall good?
That's where people should be making logical debates and logical conversations about it.
The problem is people get scared.
And when people get scared and they think that some people aren't doing the right thing when they did the right thing, then they get angry and emotional and then they start believing things that turn out to not necessarily be true because some of these people that have put out these results and studies, they have skewed the data.
And this has been proven, right?
This is just humans.
This is humans, and just because it lines up with what they thought the pandemic was going to be, that's because that was their game plan to what to do if something went down.
It doesn't mean they planned it.
I don't think they would have...
I mean, so many fucking powerful, important people died, man.
A lot of fucking people that were like...
You would think they were at the top of the food chain in terms of resources and knowledge and influence.
A lot of those fucking people died from COVID. I got COVID. COVID is fucking real.
It's fucking real.
But it's just, it's not good.
I'm not trying to diminish COVID. But I'm saying it's not the same for everybody.
That's a fact.
And taking into account different people, particularly children's immune systems and their responses to it.
I think, you know, we as a society, always when something goes down and it's scary, we have like sides that we pick, we have positions that we take, and we stand by them, and we defend them even when more data keeps coming out that shows you that it wasn't exactly accurate.
It's also been documented that people that didn't have enough points or did the wrong thing or said the wrong thing or whatever, they weren't allowed to travel.
They weren't allowed to purchase certain things.
There's parts of the world right now where you have to show your ID in order to get gas.
Like you have to- Sri Lanka.
Yeah, you have to scan your number to see if you're allowed to get gas.
They took away their access to their funds to try to encourage them to quit Or somebody just, one woman just sent like a hundred bucks to it and the government shut down her bank account and didn't allow her to get into her bank.
Here, Trudeau was born a little more than nine months after the marriage of his parents and more than four years before Margaret made a much-publicized trip to Cuba.
So that doesn't make sense.
Margaret was 22 when she married the 51-year-old Prime Minister and was a subject of intense media scrutiny.
Experts say it would have been impossible for an earlier visit to Cuba to go unnoticed.
Experts say, as long as they say, Cuban media have been unusually open about the death of Castro's oldest son, Fidelito, describing it as a suicide after a long depression.
Neither state media nor independent reporters covering the death have reported the existence of a suicide note.
Okay, but that's just, we're going into a weird area here.
Okay, February 1, suicide of Castro's oldest son, Fidelito, spurred the most recent reports on several sites claiming that Fidelito left a suicide note referring to Justin Trudeau as his half-brother.
The theory was that Castro was Trudeau's father, was also shared wildly on social media.
Okay, just for funsies, and this is just funsies, let's Google.
