Transcript for #1560 - Mike Baker

I couldn't I had that information before I picked it up.

Dickbone. I've got one at home. I don't know if it's been up in Alaska most of his life. He said this, it's very, it's not like this. It's like, it's ornamental stand and it's polished and it looks like a piece of ivory almost. I was like, what the hell is this thing? And, you know, but it was great. It was very nice, you know, as a gift he said. And I never thought to ask him what the hell it was. Yeah, I totally came to visit with time. Are we rolling?

Same size as that. No, no, this one was not as well endowed. But it's shinier than one that I've got. Oh, it's made me older.

Remember they didn't get the, they didn't actually concede, I think, or whatever you want to call it. get sort of the final count until 12 or 13 December. So Al Gore is lawyers, the DNC, they carried, you know, that in 2000, they carried that process out. And they were entitled to, just like, you know, at the current time, if the current president of Trump wants to pursue remedies for what they perceive to be irregularities, then that by law, you're entitled to do that. Now you You know, you don't want to get in the game and make it spurious accusations and just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. So it has to be based in something. But this is not unprecedented. And I think people need to keep that in mind.

Yeah, no, I see what you're going with it. I don't, uh, I see what I'm looking for. I don't disagree as long as that fuckery is properly investigated, right? And so, and I think it's, it's, it's pretty sweet, you know, I mean, look, you gotta be consistent, right? With your fuckery? With your fuckery, right? If you've spent the past four years, denying the results of the 2016 election or chasing the Russian collusion bullshit or if you were in the media and you've been you just throw in that crap around about the Russian collusion and happily doing it right for the past four years then you really don't have the moral high ground now to say that the other side can't you know invest a gay can't cry foul can't say they've got concerns and that we should just all as Nancy Pelosi says we just have to unify now I mean, I love them. Yeah, she just came out today and it's like, oh, the good thing is we just need to unify, you know, under who? Yeah, well, under you, under the president-elect, to see referred to them or soon to be Joe Biden. But I see what you're saying. Look, I'm far more concerned because I like a divided government, right? I wouldn't want to see one party regardless of which party it is, have control of everything. I always think that's when shit happens or, or, you know, it just, things go wrong. Right. So I'm, I'd be fine. Right. The Republic's going to survive just fine. If, for instance, the Senate remains in control of the Republicans, the House, you know, it's going to be tighter now. Look, I mean the House, you know, the Pelosi lost. I, you know, conservatively, you know, right now they're saying five seats, but there's ten other seats leaning towards the Republicans in a heavy way. So she could have a, you know, a 15 seat turnaround, 16 seat turnaround. It's going to be a very thin majority that she's going to have. But that's fine. So they've got the house, the GOPS, the Senate, Biden, Harris, you know, they win if they win. OK, we're going to be just fine. My concern is the Senate. If that tips over and the deciding vote is cast by Kamala Harris, because it's 50, 50, then we got a problem. And I think the most fascinating thing about all of this, which is getting lost in the wash because naturally we're all distracted with what's going on between Trump and Biden right now, is those two Senate races in Georgia, right? It's 48, 48 likely we're getting a last in North Carolina wrapped up for the Republican side. They're going to end up at 50. You got two seats left, right? And those are both in Georgia. Those are both going to be runoff, basically, in January sometime. Because unless a one of them hits the 50% threshold, if what's his name per do gets the 50% plus one vote. Okay, then now it's 51 to the Republicans and they have control of the Senate still. Otherwise, I think we got problems if the Dems end up with the White House, the Senate and Congress. I'm just never comfortable with one party rule.

Like, God, it does.

And it seems like it's been Nancy Pelosi for a hundred and twelve years.

Oh, kid Tetria. Wasn't he the speaker of the house? We see speaker of the house. I guess he was. Yeah, for a period of time.

And what was his sentence? His sentence was only 15 months. How's that work?

It'll be gone before you know it. It'll be gone before you know it. It'll be gone before you know it. It'll be gone before you know it. It'll be gone before you know it. It'll be gone before you know it. It'll be gone before you know it. It's the irony, right? It's a lack of self-awareness on both sides that I always find fascinating. My favorite tweet so far since Tuesday, since the election day, was after I think it was came out on Wednesday. Some progressive tweeted, I think I'm almost getting it word for word. Republicans are such sore fucking losers. And I read it. And I thought, well, this has got to be like a parody, right? They got to be kidding around. And so then you have to dig in there and investigate and read everything else they've been reading or writing. And you're looking to realize, no, it's their serious. And then you read the thread after that. And all the responses like, oh, that's so true that fuckers, they can't take a loss. And you're thinking, there is no fucking self-awareness.

And you've got, you've got different groups, right? I mean, this is, again, you're right. This is on both sides. This is right. This is left. This does it. It's always, you know, to say, on that card, coffee went all over the place.

I always feel just to leave some towels and it's a lotion in here. Yeah, I mean, it was Zoom call. How was that?

Who thinks about doing that?

Yeah. And you would think though. Yeah, I mean, it's, that's a very good point. It's just, I'm just, you're stunned by the idea that perhaps during a business Zoom call, you could set that aside for, for that three minutes or so.

There it is, you know, some people find different things interesting. So we're gonna run through those second quarter numbers. Oh God. I got the second quarter. That logistical supply chain.

Yeah, yeah, you know, it's a big space. It's a big space. You got it. It's a lot of distance to for those, you know, sled dog teams to go with the ballets. Is that what it is? Well, no, I can't imagine that's what it is, right? Someone up there is lazy. I mean, it's, but it is, it is funny because, okay, look, if one side's winning two to one.

Yeah, you can't call it. No, it's dead dead. It's okay. That's true. But yeah, so where we are is what the hell. It's Friday.

I mean, if you look at it, you don't see a lot of avenues for success on this one. I mean, look, Pennsylvania, they're still saying, rightly so. It's too close to call. They've got 8,000 somewhat military absentee ballots still to count. The assumption would be just like they just wrong. Those would be for Trump just like they assume a lot of the mail-in ballots in the Philadelphia area or Allegheny or it will be for Biden. But they have to go through that process. Now the Pennsylvania is an interesting one. Again, there's a lot of people that are getting very pissy about Trump's attitude towards this whole thing. And could he be more eloquent? Could he just shut the puck up and let the system work, right? Let his legal teams do what they're supposed to do and what they're entitled to do. And just say, you know, we just have to work through the process. Well, yeah, he could of course he could, but he's not going to. But pencil vein is interesting because the the the problem up there. And maybe there's no fucking fraud. It's like an investigation, right? When you do an investigation, you have to base it on right from the very beginning. You have to base it on facts on something concrete. If you don't, you're building an entire investigation potentially on very shaky ground, the whole thing comes tumble and down and it's a house shit. So, you know, it's like an operation and tell operation. Everybody remembers from maybe not the WMD fiasco, you know, from Iraq. the idea that, oh my god, we got to get in there because they got WNT. Well, a lot of that was based on one source reporting, right? Which got into the reporting chain and then got re-invented in another report and then got self corroborated, another reporting. And before you know it, you're confirming all the same information from originally that one source, right? Very shaky. So you're not building an invasion of a country on solid information. So with Pennsylvania, if people are looking at that and going, oh, this is all sorts of shit going on, and it's just fraud. Well, you got to step back and get to say, okay, where are the problems? Now, there's a handful of issues that I think are legitimate in Pennsylvania, one of them being This idea that the state Supreme Court circumvented what the legislative branch in Pennsylvania said about ballots and when you can count the ballots up until what time the postmarking on the ballots. And so that's a legitimate issue that probably could end up in a higher court. is did the State Supreme Court in Pennsylvania have that right according to the Constitution to just because the State House is in each state set the laws about this is very thing and you got a problem to Pennsylvania because the State House is run by Republicans. Now, this bullshit about how long it's taking to count the votes could have been sorted out if a year ago, or not even that, if six months ago, when we knew this pandemic was a problem, when we knew we were going to get unprecedented levels of male and votes. If the Republican State House had said, OK, here's when we can start counting those mail-in votes. As soon as we start receiving them, how about that? So they could have been well ahead. You know, so it's both both sides of fucked this up, right? It's not one side of the other both sides. Once again, both, you know, it's You know, the truth is always, you know, we talked about this before, it's always somewhere in the center, and that's true here. But anyway, Pennsylvania, close to call, you know, this idea that they're preventing observers from coming in or standing close enough, because they allowed them in, but then, you know, were they able to stand close enough to observe anything of any value? Um, that should never be in question. All right.

There was delays in some districts, right? Some e because counties run these elections and and so some counties, you know, do it. buy the book and others apparently have decided they can do things a little bit differently. So some they were not able to get in as far as access goes as you know once the voting started some they weren't able to go in for the pre-vote counting or the pre-voting day counting. of these ballots and others they were able to go in and they were kept maybe 25 feet back instead of what that's clearly was like a six feet distance that had been I think I'm not don't quote me on this but maybe a responsibly Decided that you could reach six feet away because of social distancing 25 feet away that seems insane Exactly. Some places had them watching on monitors, which, again, is useless. But so, and those, the problem there is that should never happen. You should be able to always agree both sides that you need campaign observers in there. And they have that right to observe the counting of these things. And it all comes down to the same issue, whether it's that or whether it's, you know, accounting ballots because, you know, or, or discarding ballots because the person's died previous to the election, It all comes down to the perception of fraud. There may not be anything going on in this election in terms of fraud, fraud and elective. When all is said and done, all the investigations are done. But the damage is already done because people perceive it as possible. A lot of people perceive it as likely or as happening. And if you don't have a transparent system set up, that is easy to see. You've got to be able to look at it and not be told by politicians and not be told by, you know, election officials over the media, that it's a good credible system. The voter has to be able to look at the process and say, yeah, that's fair and transparent. It's like cover for action. If I'm doing surveillance on some target, and I'm out in the middle of some whether it's a shit hole or whether it's urban center in a developed country, I have to have cover for action. I have to have a reason that is plainly obvious by passerby's or by local authorities or police that patrol the area. Oh, I get that's why he's there. We did not one time where It was overseas. We were waiting for a target to show up, and it was a port. A lot of people coming and going tourists, workers, commercial workers, having to go from this busy port. And, you know, what you didn't have is you didn't have a lot of people just hanging out, right? There weren't a lot of opportunities just hanging out. So you had to have a reason, right? So what do you do? You set somebody down there with a couple of pieces of luggage and a baby stroller and a baby. Don't ask me where to get the baby from. And you just stole a baby, you know. Hey, it's for the good of the country. And we requisitioned it. We got it. We have a baby requisitioned department down in the basement of the agency. Now we don't. No, no, it's my own baby actually. It's my daughter when she was a little baby.

Yeah. And so it worked like a charm because they could sit there for hours, right? Waiting theoretically for a boat, but obviously pulling surveillance from an observation post. And people walking by would like, yeah, there's a, there's some lady with a baby, you know, suitcases to cover for action. They did a, they, they, they whacked it in industrialist in Germany one time. Where the, the hit team. It was very elaborate, but they did what they always do. They surveil. They figure out the guys routes. And as is usual, your choke points, that's what they're looking for. You're getting a vehicle in your drive. You're going to have choke points. Usually it's at the place of work, or it's at your home. But it may be somewhere in between, maybe there's an avenue that's always blocked up, maybe there's a turn that they have to come to a complete stop. You're looking for that choke point where you can lay out the attack where you control the environment. There was a place in the Philippines and still exists. We used to call it ambush alley, because you'd start at one end, you'd go to the other, and it was a cut-through. They weren't that very many of them, and sometimes it was the only one to get from one part of the city to another. And once you got in there, you did just hit the gas because you were a host. If you got caught up in there and there was an insurgency going on. And so, you know, roadblocks and local hit teams, they call them Sparrow units, we're always a concern. And so that was a choke point, ambush alley was a choke point. Anyway, long story short, they whack this industrialist, but they hit team after they'd done their surveillance and they decided where that point was for the attack. They showed up one day in construction gear and construction uniforms and started digging a trench. As a construction team, right? You can look that. You would drive by and go, oh, they're building something. They're digging a trench, right? It's cover for action. And so it's the, I don't know how I'm making this analogy, but it's the same with the election. Voters got to be able to look at it and go, it's transparent. I see why it's transparent. I can move on.

Well, what I'm saying is they the system has to be clearly transparent and honest and credible. by just from the voter's perspective. You can't do shit like adjust the rules about just because we say, oh, pandemic, now we've got to change the rules. And, you know, these states are going to change them. These states won't in this state as well.

Um, you know, because, oh, I, I know. Because you think I can remember it. Yeah. Yeah, cover for action is because I know this is, this is, yeah, try being in my house and my house. Try being part of my family and following me at the dinner table. Um, it's because with cover of action, just like with looking at the voting and saying, okay, I see why it's transparent. I see cover action. You got to look and go, okay, I get it. That's what they're there for when you move on. You don't, you don't think about it. You don't have to be told. You know, you don't have to stop and go, excuse me, what are you doing here? Right. It's just evident on the face of it.

Yeah. Yeah. You've got that. You've also got- What is that? You've got the ability to change your vote, too, in some places. What? Yeah. You can change your vote up until the deadline of the election day. There are some places where you can go in, you have to request it, and then you can change your vote. Which if you think about it, it is not bad, because if on election day you wake up and you find out that the candidate you voted for is committed murder, then you think, okay, I like to change my vote.

I don't think maybe I'm wrong on this, but I think, you know, we should fact check this. But I don't think she held a press conference during the entire campaign. I don't think she had one single press conference. She had appearances, right? But I don't think she actually held a press conference during the entire campaign. That's a standing, right? But yeah, I agree. We're in this position that we're in right now in a variety of ways and because of the pandemic.

Now, well, people used to go crazy over a milled filmware. I remember that. That was, who was that? Oh, they loved the filmware.

It's like a Ponzi scheme you bring your friends in and then you're you're a little bit higher up the chain and Q and on and so you know a little bit more and you've got more friends within it but it is it's it's it's a string it is it is strange and I mean it looked it's it's it's this is surfaced a lot of weird behavior and groups over the past four years and and look at the I mean you've got all these various elements you've got the the resistance you've got the never trumpers you got this this group the the Lincoln project right and those guys If anyone scored big out of this whole, you know, four-year run and, you know, particularly this past year, it's got to be those guys, right? I'd love to see Lincoln Project. Well, there are some guys that claim to be, you know, Republicans conservatives and, oh my God, we're horrified at the state of the Republican Party and so, you know, we've set our line in the sand and never trumpers basically. And so, we're going to raise a lot of money and we're going to fight this thing and we're going to make sure that we fight for all the The Democratic candidates and we're going to get Trump out of there. And yeah, of course, we're conservatives and Republicans. And we're going to do this. Because hey, look, they didn't get jobs in the administration, right? And so I have a feeling they part of this started when they didn't get enough hugs, right? And they didn't get what they wanted out of this. Part of it maybe is there actually legitimately upset with the administration over certain things, but I can't help but think that they just raised a lot of money. I'd love to see how you do with charities. You look and see what their spend is, how much of it goes to administration for the project, and how much of it actually goes and be as used for things like actual ads. I'd love to see how much money got ended up in the pockets, because I guarantee you, once this is over, Biden wins, they'll somehow morph into something that now makes money by fighting some of the policies that the Biden White House wants to push out there. It just seems, it seems, but there's a lot of groups like that that have come out. A lot of people spouting their self-righteousness over the idea that Trump's a terrible person I don't think it's a great person, right? But we've talked about this for, I don't think you need to actually like your president. You need to like your policies and the operations that we're doing overseas and the things that we do. Would I prefer a kind or a gentler or more eloquent? I don't know, it's all touchy-feely, but I like the policies. Did I dislike Trump enough to vote for the potential policies that are coming down the pike with a Biden White House? and a Senate possibly controlled by the Democrats? No, but, you know, then again, I voted for Kanye, so.

Yeah, and we've definitely seen this more like you said. It's got that, you know, it's a lot of people on the left will say it's got that cultish feel and because he does draw this, the animosity from the left obviously, but yeah, it's a bizarre devotion that you get. And I think it's not necessarily a lot of the folks aren't necessarily devoted to Trump. It's not like it's not that. It's not a Jim Jones thing as much as they're devoted to the idea of waving the flag of standing up for America, which is all good shit, right? But you've got to keep it in perspective, right? And I just think we've lost perspective on a lot of things. You know, you talked to somebody on the left and they'll say, oh my God, it's the death of the Republic. We've been facing for the past four years. It's the toughest time we've ever seen and you think, uh, I've actually settled down. Yeah, and then just go to the right and they're like, oh my God, if they've Biden wins, you know, we're fucked and settled down. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Set it settled down.

Get into the center. I definitely want to.

But I mean, he came out yet last night. This press conference, which a lot of people were horrified by and then a lot of people get on the right, kind of cheered. I think it's first sentence out of the gate in the midst of all this sort of concern and chaos in the angst from everybody is was look if you just count the legal votes I I have one easily. OK. All right. You know what? Yeah. It's not necessary. You don't have to do that. You can say, you know, this is still being contested.

We're concerned about some potential irregularities, but don't just start throwing shit at the wall because it demeans the whole process. And that's, that's the only way. And that's where it all falls apart. People start losing that credibility or that belief in the system. And then again, If you've spent four years attacking the credibility system by saying it was the Russians that put him in there, right? And then talking about all this other shit about all he may never leave and you know, he's and they were accusing him of the past couple of years. How bad he's going to try to steal the election, right? And so now when the other sides like, ah, we're kind of concerned about some of the things we're seeing. They're like, oh, for fuck's sake. Don't be, you know, let's can't we just all get along.

I, that's good question. I have not seen anything really.

Help them. Yeah. You know, I probably because those states don't matter. I hate to say it that way, but I know. But he's talking about Texas. Well, you're in Texas. No Texas matter. Are you kidding?

Is there any talk of, but the expectation was was that he would even though there was this talk about it.

Right. Or, you know, it's, oh my god, he's, you know, there's something he's going on in Mississippi, right? So yeah. That doesn't happen, but I think the polls got it all wrong. The only time the plundits were right, I think, is when they were citing that look, it's going to come down to a handful of important states. And they usually would cite Pennsylvania and Georgia and Florida and Florida, Arizona. So they got that right. Everything else they got wrong again. But again, if whether there is or isn't, if you've got legitimate grievance, if you've got potential evidence, and you look at a place like Nevada, and if you've got Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, if you've got a few thousand ballots that are in question because it appears that either they weren't residents of the state or perhaps they died some time ago.

That's what they're claiming. That's what they're claiming and they through Republican Party and they filed a suit and they've I got an documentation supposedly to the DOJ about these ballots. But I guess my point is whether it is or isn't if that's that's potentially a legitimate concern. It's not going to turn things. It's not going to change anything. The vote count's not going to be big enough to change Nevada's decision, likely.

You're not really going to overturn 100,000 votes. No. And it's not going to happen at Philadelphia, if you say, OK, we're going to toss out these 700 ballots, whatever. But I think it is important, again, going back to this idea that you've got a maintained faith in the system by showing people that it's credible. So if there are regularities, just like the dams didn't 2000, and just like in other elections, it's not uncommon at all to have a contested election result in this country, the law accounts for it. And so go after that, explain what you're doing. Be transparent, what you're doing. And then for fuck's sake, learn from it for the next one around, right? Make these changes. And maybe this was an anomaly because of the pandemic and we're never ever going to see this many mail-in ballots again.

I don't get it. We should be able to come up with a better system. And you're right. You know, the problem with this was again, it wasn't explained well enough. And so you have the perception whether it's existing, whether it's happening or not, you have this perception of fraud. Look, I mean, you've got, and social media just pumps the shit out of this and causes this problem in a major way. You've got these videos now that are floating around Twitter and elsewhere of ballot workers working at polling stations, filling out, filling out ballots. And so they'll just like lock in, they'll take 10 seconds of somebody taking an empty ballot, stamping it, filling it out, and then putting it in the box, then taking another one, stamping it, filling it out. And people will go, oh my God, they're falsifying ballots, they're just creating ballots out of whole cloth. And then that'll blast around. And before you know it, you gotta like, you know, 100,000 people retweeting this bullshit without investigating it, going back to what I said before. You can't just, you can't build your argument on shit. You know, now if that's a problem, find infesticated, but you also have to look at what are the other scenarios. Well, maybe these are all ballots that wouldn't fit through the scanner or that you know, got kicked out. And so now what do they got to do? They got to put them onto a new ballot, run it through or whatever. I mean, that happens, right?

So I guess my point is whether it's that or whether you can't just you can't just assume that the shit that you see it we should how do we not know this right by now the shit that you see on social media you should probably question it and at least do your own research and find out whether it's true before you then kick it back out or talk about it like it's gospel

Is that true? I've heard that. I've heard that. I don't know whether it's true or not.

It would seem surprising. I mean, you got 89% or 90% voter turnout in particular areas. You think that's pretty damn high. But, and again, those are the things that find. Let the system work. Let the legal teams do it because they're citing it.

I don't know. I would say no Joe Biden did not get what it was.

Don't don't don't hate America. Don't move it yet. Look over there. The Federalists. Yes. This is the headline. Yes. Democrats are trying to steal the election in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Well, Trump did, you know, make a big deal about telling his supporters show up on the day, right? I'm a, I'm a vote in person kind of guy. I have, I'm a old school. I like to, I show up. You do that. It's how many did some of those good, some of those good answers. Yeah, Mike Baker has voted, you know, and you get your sticker.

Yeah, nobody wanted that. Nobody.

Because some of these states, and again, some of them with Republican state houses, you know, that was the regulation or the law that they put in place was at you. can't count those votes early, the mail ends on me. Yeah. You can't vote them early. So yeah, people went I part of the problem was people went to bed on Tuesday night thinking, well, look at this, Trump's gonna. Right. And then it's like going to bed because you think the games all locked up. Exactly. You wake up in the morning.

You know, you got you got screwed.

That's what we care for. But he said fuck people were mad. He's an anti-mascar.

Yeah, I get to tell you, I think it's a simple thing, put on a mask, but you're right. There are people who wear it proudly, like, their early days of adopting and driving a Prius, right?

And you have a very strict testing rig. Yeah, you probably, you guys probably tested more frankly than anybody else.

We should actually clarify this because if it was a disco, we need to talk about that more.

When did you, so how long did you have before you got tested?

I was in DC, we're filming for Discovery Series called What on Earth, right? And these guys, the film crew for this series is usually from England.

Let's go through the protocols, right?

Yeah. Well, again, it makes, look, it's like a lot of things in life, right? It makes you feel like you're doing something. It makes you feel good.

I'm the same way. I think it's a little thing. If other people happy, do I think it's necessarily going to stop? And I know. But I'm happy to do it because it makes other people comfortable.

It's true. I felt ever since I've been flying for a while. I've been back and forth to London and traveling around out the Los Angeles.

Well, not right now. Now, they shut it down until the second of December again, right? This is their second hardcore lockdown. Some parts of England were under what they call a tier three up like North and Manchester. But so now yeah now it's a it's problematic and and no Greece was allowing American travelers for war get this China China has banned Visitors from England China Yeah, Chinese oh my god, no you guys are what about America to infectious? Not no no that might be a bridge too far for for G, but he's okay with banning the the UK residents But anyway, but I, to your point, I felt, you know, for quite a while now, the safest place to be is on a plane. I got, I got on a plane coming from a Heathrow to New York City a handful of weeks ago. And there were, I don't know, six or seven other people on this plane. It's a big plane, right? And there was almost nobody on this thing.

Yeah, he's a gem. Yeah, yeah, he's he's he's doing wonders out there again for the he's a gem of preposterousness.

But no, you can you can actually remove your mask you go where it is at as a one-year earring hang in there from your ear It is it is a fat I saw a lot of people were fighting doing it in between the between meals they put it on their wrist

It is amazing how we've, it's become normal. I was thinking about that yesterday, they've gotten around the airport looking around and yeah, quick and people all. And it used to be, right, that if you saw, this is going to sound wrong. But if you saw someone wearing a mask, it was probably somebody from Japan or a career somewhere, right? I mean, it was like, because it's a little more common over there. Or someone trying to rob somebody. Well, there's that. Yeah. Yeah. What was the last time we walked into a bank where in a mask? Right.

Yeah. So I mean, people have actually done that with you. They said, too.

You're ready to jack a car in that situation. Yeah. Um, hey, there'll be some, but there'll be some fan, you know, the police won't have any clue who it was, but there'll be some fan to go, that's Joe. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, again, I, I'm confused over. I will say there's a class of mass squares I'm confused over. Those are the ones who are, you'll, you'll see are in their car by themselves driving with a mask on.

Yeah, you shouldn't be.

Or if you're out running or biking.

That put a mask on the dog. Yeah. No, I mean, I get that if you're if you're running right obviously if you're running and you're breathing in a heavy but but I'm talking about people that are running in areas like around us we got the foothills right go up in the foothills you can run and not see it but yeah, but I've seen people up there you know running and it's not like you're running downtown New York City where you're passing people constantly and you're like you said you're breathing heavy it's just And, you know, or you're on a obvious on a long, you know, 20 mile bike ride because you got your spandex on. You're going for a big pedal and you got your mask going. I'm thinking, it's probably, hey, it's probably not necessary. It's probably not that healthy.

I mean, I think it all comes down to what you were saying. You know, it's a little thing in life to bend your spirit over, right, to be like an anti-masker. It does all assholes.

Yeah, nobody's taking away your freedom, just just put your mask on. I agree, but there is always that element of, uh, I'm standing up to, uh, to, uh, the man or, or, uh, ODS government controller or, you know, it's ridiculous.

Look, we want to think this whole process is taught me as I find the most annoying people I think exist out there are really, really self-righteous progressive white people.

Yeah, that demographic, right? I mean, the one thing I could say is I can't stay on that group, right? And now again, you could say the same thing about the hard side on the right. I mean, there's just

Well, that's like the BLM movement, right? I mean, there's there are legitimate things you could be doing to to push forward with police reform that makes sense, right? It's raining and the, you know, the, but you got a fundum, right? You actually got to get them better less than lethal weaponry, the hiring and the vetting, but the movement gets hijacked in part by, you know, this group that, you know, just wants to feel good about themselves.

No, he's just standing there. He's standing there and she's losing her shit.

I didn't know there was an epidemic of that.

No one. Well, that's just thing. We don't understand. Okay.

So they got a lot in common. It's what you're saying.

Both and say. No, nobody ever puts them. When you're if you're a state trooper and you pull some money over the highway and you you're walking up that you have no idea what it's about to happen. Especially he's got no plates, right? Jesus Christ. So it's but again, it's it's this idea that it's it's all nothing, right? And then we and in part of that is is is is just the The lack of empathy part of it is the way that we're processing information and that fucking social media. That's a big part of it.

No, it is. I'm not in a lot. I'm not saying it's terrible. I'm just saying that there is a downside that we don't seem to be dealing with very well. Look, I mean, right after this happened, right? So once it became clear that there was not going to be a blue wave and that Biden wasn't going to ride in on it and that the house wasn't going to flip a bunch of Republican seats and they weren't going to take the Senate right away. If you're kind of canvas to what was going on in social media, people were like, wow, this just cemented that. This is clear that it wasn't just an anomaly in 2016. This just cemented half of America's a bunch of shitheads, right? I mean, that was the general tone from some folks out in social media just saying, well, clearly they're all just, they're either stupid or they're bad people or they're both because they don't agree with me. And I, yeah, when the fuck did that happen?

And after the sort of the summer of what they were witnessing, I think probably looking at that and then saying, I'm for defunding the police or whatever they term they use sometime reimagining policing as a community effort.

I'm going to set up a commission. That's what I mean, his answer for a couple of things are like with a pandemic. Well, what are you going to, oh, I'm going to get a commission of, you know, the leading scientists and we're going to look at how do we deliver these things on time and how do I think we'll hold on a second. Look, I mean, I don't doubt that he's a good person. I'm sure he is a good person. But you can't tell me that suddenly you're magically going to develop this level of efficiency that wasn't displayed in the previous eight years of the Obama administration or prior to that when you were as a senator for all this time, I'm admittedly working within a system that sometimes is hard to move. You know, his answer to that commission his answer to court packing. Are you in favor of court packing? He wouldn't answer that question. Yeah. You know, so he said, I'm going to form a commission to look at it because I think the Supreme Court's out of whack. What the fuck does that mean?

But I may be completely wrong about this, but also he was such a parody of himself, right? In the sense that it's almost hard to go anywhere with it.

Well, I'm curious as to where corn pops can end up.

The hairy legs thing confused me, too.

I don't know about your kids, but if I start telling the story and my kids aren't into it, they'll walk off.

No, I mean, yeah, my boys say shit. That's inappropriate all the time. I mean, yeah, at the stop and laugh about it because you think, yeah, that's pretty sophisticated for a nine year old.

You got to do that. I think it helps in so many ways, right? If you're stifled or humorous, or you don't let them understand the complexity of humor, how it can be layered. And part of that is sort of, you know, it's like the nine-year-old sitting with his older brothers and they'll plow through a couple episodes of South Park. And you're not thinking, okay, I've got the nine-year-old watching Borat the second movie. I think it like, all right, I'm sorry. I didn't authorize this.

That's awesome. And the one area that we have been trying to control is a language, right? And that's a problem for both my fabulous wife and I, you know, we'll tend to swear around the kids. Yeah, yeah, and so like I don't I don't know problem, you know, if if one of them's acting like a douche, then I'll say hey, look, stop acting like an asshole. Don't be a douchebag or whatever. And and they picked that up, right? I guess I should have known that. And then they would take it to school with them.

Yeah, and I feel exactly the same way as long as they do it in a clever way, right? Yeah, it's got to be Yeah, there's got to be some humor to it, and it's got to be smart, right? About how they how they do it.

Yeah, I got my 13 year old the boy scooter is he started to challenge me, right? Yeah, like you start like You know, we'll get into it to a contest here. We'll start, you know, he'll come up and he'll start punching me. And, you know, and I'll let it go. But then I can kind of tell you, see it in their eyes, right? They're like, yeah, I'm getting, I'm getting one up here. And then you have to take the roll. Then you got to take them down, right? And they're like, okay. But then I'm thinking, I got maybe like, I don't know, not that many years left before he's going to be. Time to start a little bit and say, well, you know, and who doesn't play? He's he will he will one day yeah, he will one day, but right now I can see that he's starting to do that He's starting to challenge a little bit natural.

Yeah, or or the old one just wanders off right and dies with a broken jog and feed himself. I told my boys just we owe me out to the back and then go back up on the top deck and take turns shooting at me. Oh, yeah, just take me out at the point where I'm losing it just just do that just just ended

So parenting. They didn't seem concerned about the idea, though. In fact, they almost seemed on board.

There's that possibility.

You know, but what in Biden just rehire him? I would like to think so. It would be a complete dick move if he does because he's he's not going to find a better director than Gina has blow over the agency. She's top notch and I hear nothing but good things. She's she's outstanding and she's got and this is what I worry about here when when we talk about like the administration change over right because maybe she would stay on during the Biden administration for a period of time. I mean we've seen that in the past and in in other circumstances, but usually they would end up looking and saying we're going to replace the directors we're going to do these things. And, you know, there's been a little bit of talk in Washington, you know, about, you know, who may be in what position? Gina Haspel, one of the things that makes her so good is that she grew up in the outfit, right? And so she's got that deep understanding of operations and what it takes, right? What's required and what, you know, I'd like to go from home land? But that's crazy. Let's crazy. Yeah, no, no, she's not crazy at all. But I mean, no, she's just, you know, she's just top notch. There's no, there's no, uh, there's no chinks in the armor or whatever you say. So why would anyone, are you allowed to say that anymore?

Like I just did. But so Gina, it would be great if they replaced her, if they were to replace her with someone who is from outside, right? And we've had some good outside directors. Leon Panetta was a good example, right?

Sometimes, you know, sometimes the names get floated or like, you know, their biggest thing is they've existed in national security circles, like they think they would think tank for a long time. They were right in policy papers and maybe they were on a national security staff somewhere and they would What the agency thrives under as far as leadership goes usually is somebody who really understands because they've done it.

They've been inside and they understand what it's all about. They know it's just, there's a lot of moving parts in there.

Yeah, I mean, you would, you would hope.

Well, the fantastic guy. One of the greatest people I've ever known William Webster was both the director of the FBI and the director of the agency during his career. And he was not inside the agency, but he was an outstanding director. He's I think you could argue as an anomaly, you know, a couple others, but I guess my point being is it would be a dick move to let her go because she's outstanding.

You know, statistically, I don't know what the percentage is, but sometimes not. I mean, Gates is a good example of that, Bob Gates kind of transcended.

No, I mean, the director sometimes can be. And that's why I say it's it's it changes sometimes. You get you get people like that that may come in and have more of a political bent, which I think is always wrong. Ideally, the agency, NSA, other members of the Intel community should always be ideally apolitical. Now, everybody's human, right? They've got their own beliefs, et cetera, obviously. But I think it works best when these, and we've seen from other countries overseas, you see this shit, right? You see when you get a change in government and they just wholesale, you know, clean out the intelligence organization or the police organization and they just bring in all their people and it's a nightmare.

you have a bunch of people that aren't accustomed to the way you normally do business and well then you got people beholden to that power structure for their job and you want that arms like you want them to be able to give objective opinions right that's what's critical here so you have to be able to say here's the reporting here's an objective analysis assessment of what this means here are your options and you have to have confidence that they're doing that in an apolitical, or as much as possible, you know, being realistic, an apolitical manner. And that's what's the whole kerfuffle. Can we say, yeah, you say kerfuffle? Yeah, kerfuffle is fine. And so the whole kerfuffle over the politicization of the FBI, for instance, with Komi and others, that makes people deeply uncomfortable, right? So, but, you know, these positions that very top position typically is politically appointed.

What did you think of that? I sometimes have a hard time watching Ted Cruz, although I give him credit. He's a very, very smart guy. I think he knows his shit. I like his beard. Yeah, beard is top notch. It looks a lot better with the beard. It came out of the pandemic with that, right? I trust him more now for some strange reason. It seems like more of a man. He looks tougher. I was about to say, he looks a little tougher. But you know, I call me, I think, call me has the same problem in the sense that, you know, like over on the CIA side that John Bradden had, I think they just They got too deep into the game in terms of politics and the association. And at that point, one side of the other, depending on where you are on the fence, is going to find that offensive or questionable or maybe lacking in credibility.

Yeah, I think so. Or like the game or just develop the two close to tie. I mean, if I were, you know, one of the, if I were the president, I would not want to be a buddy with the head of the agency or a buddy with a head of NSA or the bureau.

And Colmy was like, excuse me? Yeah. Well, I think politically, I think he was on the opposite side of the fence there. I mean, I think if somebody who was more politically aligned with Komi had said that he would have got a well, of course, I am, you know, I mean, I'm not not loyal, but because I'm sorry, you can always count on my loyalty. I would have been an issue, I wouldn't have leaked out, it wouldn't have been a story. But yeah, coming back around, I think if the smartest thing they could do if assuming that if I was president Biden becomes president or like Biden, if the numbers continue to go the way they are, with the agency, you know, he should definitely keep you to ask on that job. That would be a smart move on his part.

I mean, people generally at that level don't quote me, but generally they submit their resignations, you know, if Trump were to have won or were to win, then they would still submit their resignations and he would have the opportunity to either offer them that position again or find someone new. When there's a change in administration, that's what you do. You hand in your your resignation. I mean, my daughter works in DC and she's in a political position. So she's been out there, you know, quietly looking in the event that the administration changes because her assumption is she will not have a job after January, you know, middle of January. It's a standard procedure out there. But when you find a real quality person who can provide you with extremely good advice and insight, you should probably hold on to that person. Obviously you're a little biased. I'm biased, but I think it goes with that regardless of who that person is, or like I said, with Leon Penetta. He was Clinton's chief of staff, Bill Clinton's. So we're not necessarily politically aligned, but he was a terrific director. So I would say the same thing about anybody who exhibits excellent leadership.

The hands. Yes, whatever that is.

Oh, the dance. Yeah, dance. I danced again. I just don't know what that means.

We're not going to get that. We're not going to get this again.

Yeah, that's an interesting point about what the narrative is going to be. The science isn't going to change, come January 21st, or whatever, when we inaugurate the new president. If it happens to be Biden, the science won't change between now and then. There's still be working on vaccines to get those out for delivery. I guarantee that tone is going to change right? Yeah, totally.

Well, and I think that's what people should watch also is, look, these two can't emphasize this enough. Unless Purdue gets that 50% plus one vote and outright wins that Senate seat in Georgia. You've got these two Senate seats, right? And this is the balance of the US Senate. This is why this is important. This is actually more important now than the focus that the world's got on Biden Trump, right? And I think that trains left the station probably, but regardless that that's Senate control. is critically important in terms of, again, a sort of balance of power arrangement, keeping government in check. And so, you know, the Democrats are, you know, they are going to pump a shit ton of cash into those races. If they're two of them, even if they're just one, well, no, if this one, then forget about it because, you know, they've lost some majority possibility, but if both of those go to run off in January, You know, I think that may, and Biden is the president-elect, and it's decided and they have the concession speech from Trump. And so we go through this period of mid-December through January. Then I think you will see some change. I don't think they'll wait until after Biden is officially president in terms of the coverage, because they're going to want to impact those elections in Georgia. You're going to want to show them, my God, look, we're really doing this. And it's, oh, things are turning around now. Yeah, and the media will be completely complicit.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's sort of the, what is it? So what do we got? We got OAN and we got Newsmax.

You see how a lot of conservatives have turned on Fox, like, a fucking heartbeat.

Yeah. But they've been doing it. You know, there's, there's been some dissatisfaction. I think within the, the right over Fox's direction, right? What's wrong with the direction? Well, I think they felt like it was getting too liberal. Right. I know. That was the thing.

Yeah. Yeah, Chris Wallace. He's been questioning Trump.

Yeah. But they got what do they got? They got that. They got that. They got the triumph of Carlson, Ingram, and Hannity. Right. So they're happy with those, I think, still. But I think they question everything else they hear. And certainly after they called Arizona now, there's a lot of pissed off. People who will go to OAN or whatever the OAN Newsmax as a refuge. But a media company for Trump, that might make more sense. I assumed that if he's out after this term, that he would just get some huge offer from a network for another show.

That's what he's going to do. I will I will place it back. Come on, one. How many of us? That Trump will not run for real.

I was going to give you even odds.

I got odds for win. For win. Okay. I'll go even for running.

Thousand bucks and then odds for winning. Okay.

Uh, because he was, uh, as much as President Trump as I suppose. And they.

I think he's been sticking out sort of that independent kind of position. He'll probably swing a little right as if he's serious about running. Now that if Biden wins, I think in he'll want to kind of veer him as way back towards the right.

So broken but the libertarians you that's no place to land. I mean I agree with a lot of the sort of the concepts, but it's not gonna it's it's never gonna be a successful third party that challenges it could if someone like Trump became a libertarian Right this way he said back in 2017.

Okay. Well, we got that back out of the way. So that's good. So did we.

Let me get this right. That's 4,000 now. Yeah. 1,000 bucks for if I if he runs I win 1,000 bucks. And if he wins I win 5,000.

I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. I'm pretty strong on this one. I don't, I just don't see that happening. Yeah. I'm pretty strong on this one. Yeah.

Oh my god. But the problem I got with this is look. We got 330 someone million people and we keep rehashing the same Yeah, we didn't last you know what when you go to the movies Okay, I want to see Daniel Day Lewis.

I want the Thor guy. He wants somebody to recognize.

That's a question Trump does not famously, but I don't know I think it would be nice to see I've always thought it'd be great to see somebody like a kind of the laser rice, you know come come out of retirement from politics and to see if any desire to do that I think none because she was inside she probably probably like I'm done Yeah, yeah, I just think she's she's having too much fun out in the commercial world and and Sure, you know, so you know, she'll end up as is Commissioner of the NFL or something I think that's the job she wants, but does she really? Yeah, so when I think it would just be nice to see other well qualified people kind of rise to the challenge.

It's a strange thing for him to pick up and run with.

In terms of a crisis, yeah, in terms of a crisis, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, in terms of a pandemic, and this is one of the last pandemic, you know, hopefully we learn some lessons from it. And I think we have, let me ask you this.

I think the answer is a little more complicated. I think it probably popped up in a wet market. I think they're probably looking at it inside the lab and I think their containment procedures and their protocols were lacking. And I think it got away from them. And I think that's That's what the Chinese regime is busy still to stay trying to hide. So I think that, you know, and look, there was, there was documentation of concern about this particular lab and the level of security around it. And, you know, concern over the money that was still being given to that lab to keep it going and despite the fact that the protocols were lacking.

I mean, we were back a decade or so. There were issues.

Because we should believe everything that the series seems to have.

How is it impossible? By the way, this call five to been tested. Are you confident? No, no, I just spent tested. You know, that 30 minutes ago, I was negative. Everybody gets scared if you sneeze. I know. If you look at you like something wrong, I've read something where it says sneezing in your mask is a new shit in your pants. I think there's every likelihood that this was picked up or identified in the wet market or through okay this is a naturally occurring and we know that this has happened before so that's not that's not hard to imagine but The likelihood that that then made its way into the lab is they were looking at it manipulating and I do believe there was fuckery going on in terms of just trying to understand what it was or trying to see where it was going to go.

Exactly. And so then and then again, you've got a history of problems and protocols with this particular lab. Where's the fucking mystery in terms of at least assuming that this is a possibility?

Well, it was the same. Again, and you had all the angst over. over the temporary halt on travel between China and the U.S. And again, that's, you know, if you had this thing crisis management planning, right? So every company, every corporation will have a set of protocols and they go through this and say okay we got to look at all the potential threats and risks facing our company and then we have to create a crisis management plan in case of this happens that happens whatever like you said have a backup plan or have a scenario that you can go to and then you exercise that right and so it's not Hard to imagine that if you have a pandemic playbook that says, OK, these are the various scenarios. We've identified now that this virus has come from over here that we're going to temporarily halt travel from that location where we've identified this is the origination of that virus. What the hell is that tough, but yet in this environment, because it's immediately politically charged.

No one knew what it was like the conspiracy theories that they knew about it.

I think you're right about that. I think you could see a change in tone. And I think he became a little more if that's possible for him empathetic. But look at Dems for a couple of days. Yeah, I don't want to make more.

I completely immune. My blood is going to be used to solve the problem.

So what are you saying? You're in the camp of the body double.

Like, I will say this, my, uh, my, uh, my, one of the so funny that it's such a fucking conspiracy.

By the way, my wife, my wife has worked with Melania in the past on some overseas concerns and trips. And she's got nothing but excellent things to say about Melania in terms of, she says she's a very private person, right? She doesn't really like sort of the press concerns of the job of First Lady. Her staff, well, I've said absolutely a doors and a love serve because she is a You know, a kind individual of decent person. So I've heard nothing but good things about her. I will admit I've never heard this body double story before. I don't know where to go with that. I know. It's just another. It's another one more thing I got to investigate.

Look at this. It's like it's a pruder fill.

Holy shit. Now we've got people investigating this.

You said it could be Mike Pence underneath that mask. I don't think.

Of course, we had, how they would, how they would work with the agency with the CIA and the past on, on working with our disguise unit.

And it's, and it, I will say, it's incredible.

Yeah. Because you think about it. Sometimes, you know, it got like me, it may not blend everywhere in the world. And so the ability to operate on the streets or out in the open. Yeah. So we get, we've got a shit hot disguise unit.

Can we get that out?

Oh my god that movie was fantastic.

Oh my god. With Camille Jones song. Yes. Hans Briggs. Hans Hans Hans, your busting my balls. Yeah.

The voice work on that was was amazing. Amazing.

That's the dumb's voice was brilliant.

It's a great show. I recommend that show to everybody I know because it's I honestly think it's it's the best piece of television work ever done.

Brian Boytile the skater.

Do you see the documentary on how they make it?

And they get to that point and they got like nothing. I think I'm like two, two and a half minutes, they got to fill. And then they come up with something brilliant. Yeah. Like smack it and say on the egg or some other song.

from your perspective. Do you think you're more creative when you're smoking weed or less?

The government. It's a government that culminated, and it's not because of the weed talk.

Yes, I see. Anything they can do for that issue.

I mean you think about the number of people on antitipressants.

Through the roof. Yeah, and we, you know, again, this idea that I, I'm very, very fine. We'll give him some cash. They'll be fine. And it's no, it's, they're dead.

Well, and then you look at this and you think, okay, and Pelosi, during her speech today, her marriage came out and gave a little presser. I don't know if she took any questions, but it was like part of it was also this implication that now we're going to get to work on the, on the next stimulus bill and I'm thinking, What the fuck you been doing?

No, no, I don't doubt that for a minute. I'm not, again, you know, I'm not a conspiracy guy, but I have no doubt that this they weaponized this whole pandemic issue for political purposes and they played it very, very well. But this was, this was like, that's going to sound wrong. But, you know, it's, it's a horrific thing. It's terrible. You never, you know, wish it on anybody, but there's no doubt. that displayed into the DNC's or the Democratic Party's hands. And they took advantage in certain cases of it, right? And because they'd been throwing shit at Trump for four years. And most of it didn't stick, no matter what they tried. And this was the thing that worked for them. And they sought pretty early on, right? And they saw what the economy was doing. And that was his big ticket, right? You know, running on the economy. was his thing. Yep. And they was just a one thing that could take him down.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not just one side of the board.

Yeah, just like the Dems right now, if it was flipped, they would be crying foul as we've seen in the past. And they'd be saying, we're going to investigate and we're not, we're not giving a concession speech, we're going to take this to court. It's the way, yeah, it's the way it's played. It's so fucking dysfunctional sometimes.

Or you just set to accept the fact that not everybody thinks the same. And going back to what I mentioned earlier where it was after the election after it was clear, it was going to be very, very close. And some folks on the left came out and so I talked about, well, you just can't save these 48 or 49% of, meaning people that don't think like they, or didn't vote, you know, for Biden, you can't save them because they're just, they're hopeless, they're useless, they're stupid or bad. That's a, that's a hell of a way to think, right? And then I saw that guy that, The guy that turned out to be anonymous, right? And sort of that mid-level... Yeah, he's... Yeah, he's.

Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he's. And I met that jokingly. I don't really mean that. Of course I do mean it. Yeah.

He's just between you and me. No. He's not.

if he did a lot of it in a lot of umms i don't like it i had never heard of that but seriously i'm not sure i'm not sure i'm not sure i didn't i didn't i didn't we actually we still have a roll of decks we don't use a database we still have a big roll of decks and he's a junkier way through a Vanderbilt oligarch air Anderson Cooper worked at cia a college okay he was a it was he was a summer intern listen bro why would you be an intern unless you want to be a part of the agency

Yeah, he's got some backing. He looks too he's too well groomed to stay in the agency for any period of time.

All right, cats out of the bag. He still works.

Anyway, I did make call anonymous a fuck with it. I did. Yeah. I take it back. But no, I mean, I take back the fact that I didn't. I didn't make the call on that.

But he was, but he was, remember, he was referred to as the senior senior official.

Sure, it would be. Of course it would be. And that's why that's why they refer to it on the such because it pumps up the story. Of course. And people don't tell everybody what they said. He, I mean, it's a disparaging book about the Trump administration. I don't even want to give it any time because I don't think it's deserving, but not that there's things you couldn't talk about, but I just, I have this thing about people who walk out of an administration regardless of which one or walk out of an agency or wherever and write a fucking book. I have a problem with it. Just shut your gap, right? And it's part of the gig, right? Yeah. And don't, you know, if you didn't get enough hugs and you'll come out and you want to, you know, beat your own drum with a, you know, that just don't, I don't know. We've gotten way too past the old point where people will just finish a job and you never ever knew, you know, that, you know, that they, this is too many opportunities for opportunists. I sound like Wilford, but I'm like what you're saying.

Yeah, and you're supposed to, and you know, like as an example, the agency has a, what they call a publication's review board. So if you're going to, You're gonna finish up with the outfit and you get out and you think, oh my god, I don't know how I book it. I know a handful of folks who did and they were very good book but they don't talk about, it's not a tell-all, it's not a, and they're not disclosing sources and methods. But the point being is they've got the PRB and so you have to submit your transcript and then you go through it and sometimes you'll edit things out and sometimes they won't. But you're supposed, the idea that you come out and you had a unsatisfactory experience and you want to complain about shit.

Yeah, sort of the one world government run by George Soros.

Yeah, I think the truth is less exciting or interesting. I think he's He puts a lot of money into a handful of organizations and that money gets funneled out for various purposes, campaigns, supporting organizations. There's no doubt I think that his worldview is somewhat different than mine. But I don't think that Soros is, you know, running some campaign to take down America.

Everybody loves a big villain. He's a evil-looking guy. I mean, again, hey, I don't mean that wrong, but you know, no offense.

Yeah. He's, yeah, he's got that look about him.

You know, it doesn't look like that. He could do something about those bags in their eyes.

Yeah. And see, that's part of this. That's crazy. The connection to open society. I think it's probably what helps to fuel it. But, I mean, you got a guy that, what does that mean? He's an old, easy, what do you call it? He's an easy, easy foil, an easy target to be in, I mean, it's like the coke brothers. There's no difference, right? It's just one side blames the coke brothers for, you know, trying to take over America and one side blames Soros.

Open Society.

And you can imagine some of that money getting eventually funneled, making its way to organizations. I'm not saying it's happening, but an organization like Antifa, whatever. You know, the theory being, oh, now we're trying to promote, you know, If you wrap yourself in the cloak of promoting equality and justice, most people aren't going to push back because they don't want to look like a dick, right?

Yeah, so you don't, you don't, you know, but anybody who's against this is like, this is one of my things. If you're going to give money to an organization, you know, do a little investigating first, find out how much of it goes into people's pockets and actually where the money it goes and what it's used for. sometimes it's easier than not, and if it's difficult to find that information now, give your money somewhere else, because it should be transparency around any operation that's asking you for a donation or for your money, but Soros, when he funnels that money and makes its way through, it's like a chinko machine, it's kicking all over the place, so it's no surprise.

Yeah, and I'm not saying that so it shouldn't fund in groups that wouldn't piss people off. I guess, but you know There's more to it. There's more to it than that. But it's like, you know, it's like that the Kennedy assassination, nobody wanted to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald could do something as an individual that was so horrific. All right.

No, I'm not saying that he did it by himself when I'm saying is that people don't want to think that, right? Because it's true.

But you close out the possibility that it could be true.

I'm saying that there's a possibility.

You can't take that off. You can't take off the table. The magic bullet.

I guess my point though before we descend into the madness is that you don't want to remove options when you're looking and if you can't say I mean maybe you can't say if you can say a hundred percent there's no doubt I say I'm not I'm not closing the door on on the percentage chance that Lee Harvey Oswell did that on his own for his own reasons and his own resources and ability to do it. I will say the MLK, Martin Luther King assassination is one where if I have to say, look, there's definitely shit here.

Well, I'm just saying, I'm just saying that. Until they close that case completely, and nobody ever has completely. But I guess I get going back to a bigger point if I had one. We'll put that bullet up one more time. Oh, here it goes. Here comes that drawing. This is the official government drawing. See, like this.

Not a lot of deception. Oh, look at that.

Oh, you have a slightly got it. You got a little dent there.

But my point, my overall point, should I have one, is that with Soros. I mean, people like You know, that's why conspiracy theories and other things exist, right? And continue to exist is because it's a fascinating concept. It's a fascinating story. You can look at source and go, yes, you're running from a secret layer somewhere under a volcano, an effort to take down the America. That's one theory.

Yeah, and we want we like a beginning of middle of an end of people like things to to be all wrapped up, right?

I said to be that goat. One day you're out there eating grass and ivy.

Yeah, it's exactly right and also it was a very easy shot. I mean, I will say that wasn't that hard. No, it wasn't.

I'm not even good. You got a slow moving vehicle moving away from you in line.

Yeah. That part of it is, you know, I think that is easy to understand. Again, I'm, I'm, you know, not to not to disappear down that rabbit hole. I do find it always interesting because I'm which I'm still fascinated by the Martin Luther King thing because it's It's a rare day when I look at something and go, you know, that really is horseshit there.

We talked about this before, right? Yeah, he just said, you know, a petty criminal and not a good one, right? Always caught. Always caught. And, you know, then suddenly he manages to reinvent himself, goes on the road, disappears, lays low, comes out, you know, looks like a professor, you know, he ends up in Europe after the shooting, you know, bisec a Mustang, you know, for cash, you know, more cash and the kid probably are the guy I probably ever saw. It's just, there's too many things here that just make it look like that. I'm not a, again, I'm not a conspiracy guy, but I look at that one and I go over all these years and we weren't able to kind of get to the bottom of it, you know, speaks to sort of the, I don't know, just a sinister nature of it, I think.

Yeah. I don't even know if a conspiracy is a right word for it. It's a plant. It's a plant. That's an operational plan, right? And then they can aspire to do it. Yeah, that's good. Okay. Fine. All right. Does that what a conspiracy is? I guess that is a conspiracy.

Yeah. Yeah.

Is that exactly what they said? Pull it up young. Pull that up that exact quote from. It's a sketch into God.

Oh, you're thinking of. Yeah, you're thinking of. He's got an aerospace business out there that was funded and part by taxpayer money that it was a sort of a pet project of Harry Reid's in the sense. I'm struggling to remember the guy's name. I should remember it because we we've talked about it earlier.

No. Aerospace buddy of Harry Reads. Can we Google that?

No. No, this is, this guy is, they've actually still got a business. He's still developing, right now I think what he's trying to do is develop portable living.

I know. But if he's the one who said it, then, yeah, it doesn't come from the government, you know, the A-Tip, which is at advanced aeronautical threat identification program. I mean, the, I think the most interesting thing that the government has come out and said is that, yes, we did have a, we did have an open operation within the Pentagon and office within the Pentagon. I thought, you know, that was there to identify unidentified threats, right? So we get something up in the air and, and we can identify it's like the tick, the tick tack, uh, sightings by David Fraver.

Yeah, he's very credible. Yes, extremely credible. He's an easy good guy. I've talked to him a handful of times of satin reviewed the gun camera footage with him. He's walked through it. very credible right so that was kind of that was a perfect example of why they had set up a tip right within the Pentagon um apparently not funded any more as an as an operating office because they probably got some new shit that they can't tell you about because that one got out there to close it down that's a New York Times where to do that is what they do right well I mean or you're reallocate the You know, it's all on the budgets, which is, again, kind of why we do this, this show for science, you know, called blackfalls, because we're chasing the bugs. I finally got to that. I know, right? He's crazy.

I got like that. I got like two other promos to do. I haven't even touched yet. So I can help people who think, wow, he's really slow this time. But yeah, if you follow the money, it's like an investigation, right? If you, and not so much following my, but if you, if you start pulling on those threads around budgets or It's like with investigation and asset tracing, getting bank records is absolutely key if you can legally get them during the course of an investigation, but with military operations, oftentimes those budgets for the most interesting projects and operational elements. get buried into something else. That's just the way it works, right? And so that's where you maintain secrecy. To maintain secrecy, but that's, it's an exercise and we don't obviously, with black files, we don't identify anything that's currently classified because we'd all end up in the Who's Gal, but we're looking at some pretty interesting things and it speaks to where programs are going currently, right? You look at some things in the recent past and you say, okay, this is where this new development is heading.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. You can't function as a secure and safe and lasting Republic without it, right? There's just no way. Now, you know, people will say, oh, we should have transparency around everything. No, no, you got to draw the line. You got to, you want to not overdo it, right? So you want to, that's where I was going to get to. Right. But let me redo it part. But you've got to have the ability to protect sources and methods. You've had to have a sort of a need to know policy around certain things right within national security concerns in the hotel and intelligence community But yeah again, it's it can be used as a weapon, you know, you can over again over do it and But if you don't have security you don't have the Manhattan Project right no absolutely yeah, we don't I mean you don't have many things yeah, you think about you think about you think about China, look at this, I'm not deep into the show and I'm just now bashing China for their theft of economic intelligence, but you look at the effort that they make in terms of stealing our intellectual property and research and development. The idea that you don't protect your most critical information, whether it's operationally important or whether it's just, again, R&D for development of materials and that speaks to the strength of your economy and So yes, certain things have to be kept secret. But again, you can overclassify things, which tends to happen, it tend to just because you're trying to protect everything. So I'm just going to overclassify and that also creates a problem. So trying to strike a balance, it's a human endeavor. So you never really get it right. I don't think.

Which is what you can use against it. If I'm trying to pull information out of another nation, if I'm targeting intelligence from developing some new ballistic missile system or whatever it is, propulsion system, then yes, I'm going to play off of that desire on the part of engineers and scientists to have a collaborative community. And the Chinese do that very well, right? And particularly when they target Chinese Americans working here in the U.S. and potentially sensitive positions, you know, this idea that we're all working together, you know, and this is just what we should be doing. You know, we've done, my, my company has done work trying to protect information for companies, pharmaceutical companies as a good example. where the scientists, the engineers, the doctors need that free flow in their mind. They've got to have this free flow in this collaborating and the sharing of information. And meanwhile, you get the other side where the beam counters and security personnel and all that. And there's going like, no, this is the lifeblood of our company. We can't risk losing this information. So we've got to lock it down to the degree we can. Those two things don't necessarily coexist all that well together, but you've got to try to find some medium. So yeah, I think You know, there's the the the fact that the government came out and talked about a tip and that was a big step, right. That's a big deal for them, right. I mean that that they would discuss that. Do I think that they're hiding? Again, I don't take anything I wouldn't take anything off the table, frankly, because I don't know. So it would be stupid of me to say, no, they definitely aren't holding on to some propulsion system that isn't of this world or whatever. If I don't know it, I can't say absolutely not. But wouldn't you want to know though? Oh sure. Yeah. Yeah. But how do you, I mean, you know, what do you do? I mean, Greece a few palms.

I want to see it. Yeah. I guess you can do that.

I'm telling you right now don't tell me now lying if you tell me I'm telling everybody they know that they know that they're right in the downright now whatever happens happens but it's too bad but I agree with anybody it was interested

It's not like just one person or the guys in that particular platform that saw it. So yeah, it's a really compelling fascinating example of this.

Yeah, I, you know, again, it is. It's fun. It's fun, man. It's fun. And it, but I do I think that there's, you know, aliens that they come periodically visit and just observe and go, fuck this and then leave. you know, it does raise the question as to why we if they've actually visited and they've been here are they just as for observation and they get fed up with the way we act and well I think if you were observing another advanced civilizations like say if we like

I will say that. I mean, it's all relative, right? Because if, if we're looking at that, we say, OK, say the TikTok was, was, you know, from some other world, then them looking at us. They're not going to go, look at us and go. Well, it's in advance to, so it was a course they would. Yeah, I think they'd look at us and go like, OK, it's some rudimentary life. But see, I don't buy that.

Or maybe to whatever this is. We're nothing more than a butterfly.

Some people might look at what we're going through right now this past week and think it's not such a misfortune.

I just went through that. I took my truck to the car wash the other day in Boisean. There was a Tesla that was sitting over on the side and the lady was giving the manager hell because she'd taken her Tesla through the car wash and it like knocked off the the side view mirror and it was clearly a new car for her and you know she couldn't even take it to the car wash without losing a piece or a part and I thought it wasn't a good ad for Tesla frankly, but you know

Yeah, it was a day where they called a touchless car wash.

There you go. You'll be careful when you do that. Yeah. Yeah. Bring those side view mirrors in. I think that's actually in the end.

It's in the manual. If you turn, if you go in the manual, but it says before you go through a car wash.

I didn't do anything, they're fine. I almost went to the car washroom town with one of my dogs in the back of the car. Because I completely forgot, you know, running a couple of chores and there's his hand ricks in the back of the truck, and I said, don't go there in the guy waving down and says, you're talking to that. He's dirty.

Water and soap, dogs gonna be fine. Big hundred and twenty pound retriever.

Jesus Christ, relax, car wash guy. I know. Oh my God. We got, we got it. We got it. You got pet, you got pets.

And they're the best. Yeah, fantastic. We've got now. We've got, we've got, we've got that one week.

We do, yeah. Yeah, because I still get those. I haven't been in for a while, but you know, that's, I think the world of the director, because they still send me that shit. So yeah, so then we got a, we got this big, uh, where they call them golden doodles, right?

And she's supposed to be small. She's getting to be taller and bigger than he is. So she's, she's like six or seven months old and she's a monster already. Really? And then we got, now we got another, one of our cats die or our last cat die. And so we thought, okay, that's it. We're going to simplify life. And then we were at the store and they had like a rescue cat thing going on. And so we ended up with a rescue cat. And then we were out and a fox got in the barn, killed this mama cat and all the kittens. And there was only one survivor. This was just a couple of weeks ago. So now we got like this entourage again, right? Because now we kept this kitten and I thought we can't keep this little tiny, you know, it's like a two week old kitten. We've been bowel feeding this thing now for the past two and a half weeks and it's cute. It's a very cute and it's a tough set of a bitch, right? It's going to be a great cat around the house, but it's just like now I'm waiting to get like a farm duck and a chicken and a goat and people have love hate relationships with foxes.

It's a huge amount of birds, those domestic cats kill, holy shit, that's all they do. Yeah, so one of those things, an animal killing another animal, unless it's like some abused fighting dog that has been Yeah, and while it it's just a way of work.

Oh, Miller, nowhere. And so yeah, you'd go be, you'd be working the fence line of repairing fences. Put your hand down all of a sudden. Yeah, I didn't wear gloves, right? Put the hand in all of a sudden. It's like this little cat. It come out of nowhere, right? Some burrow.

Yeah, like everybody was wondering that's where it came from I think it's where it came from so this is all the I think we're not because of the rabbits. I think they were trying to solve a rabbit problem I think you might be right me while they kill all these lizards and bugs Yeah, yeah, no, they're they're all over the place and people say a kitten and they just like they launched themselves at you and they're that's crazy fucking mean

Yeah, you gotta cut their teeth out. Yeah, it's gonna say I got the teeth removed in the claws removed Yeah, Australia. It's full of it's like the Everglades Everything down there wants to want to kill you. Yeah, we want to bite you and kill you They're a good guy.

I tell you Everglades is a fascinating place. I don't know why I'm just now I'm talking about the Everglades people go. I want to fucking see talking about the Everglades.

Yeah. They found a panther inside an alligator down there. Yeah. It's just crazy. I was thinking about that. I know, this all sorts of shit. I mean, it's amazing what you can find when you start reading about it. But that's a place where invasive species are a real problem. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Python's. And there's all series of other things that they've got cooking down there. But they caught a 20 footer of the other.

They have these hunts down there, you know, in a little competition.

Yeah, quarterback. It's a big disguise. You know what I saw so the other day, I saw Tom Brady in a buck and air as uniform. And it was kind of strange. It's weird, right? It is weird. It is weird.

You probably have to say, and if you kill one, you probably have to take it to the fishing game department, right? And otherwise, if you dispose of it improperly, then you can be in Florida or something.

Well, but it's also, it's the continuing, like, it's interesting if you think about what the fuck is wrong with people. And then you see the rate of movement of citizens out of California and to other locations. Yeah, it's starting. And then you think about, okay, like, Georgia's a good example in this election, right? Georgia's turning, right? So Georgia's is may well end up having become a blue state. And they why? Well, people coming from out of state. We get that happening in Idaho. People coming in from out of state. And you'd like to think, again, going back to the very first thing we talked about self-awareness. You'd like to think they say, I'm leaving this place. It's got some problems. I'm going to go somewhere else. You know what, though? I'm not connecting the dots. I'm going to say that it has nothing to do with the way that I've voted in the past, I'm sure things will be fine here if I continue that.

And you can't, if you squash that entrepreneurial spirit, right? If you take away incentives, if you take away just the idea that you know what, maybe I got a great job, but I also got an idea. Maybe I want to pursue that idea, and see whether I can turn into a business. If you get rid of that by regulations or just by disinsentivizing people from starting a business or from creating something, it could be just a flash of an idea that they've got. You know, I don't know how I'm going to sound like I've got rose color glasses on, but that was part of the thing that makes this country so special. Yeah. And, you know, I do look at, I look at California and I look at the movement of people out of there and I, and, and Idaho again, being one of those places where a lot of folks end up, and you could see, you could see that happening. You could see suddenly, you know, business friendly state starting to turn. Yeah. And so yeah, it's if you if you don't like where you are and you're moving Maybe maybe look at the mirror and think about maybe I want something different maybe I should vote differently

It was relatively closer.

I mean, I think they were expecting they spent a ton of money down here, right? On the races. And I think they were expecting that it was going to turn around.

You know what? Just again, this idea that it had everywhere.

This is the blue dot. Well, it's like voicy. Voicy is a blue dot in a red state.

You don't have to be the fastest one. You just have to be faster than the hippie.

just and he's put pork chops around their neck because he was just gonna hang our meat up he that doesn't sound right but okay yeah hey speaking of entrepreneurs this is where I bring in a second promo it only take me a second buddy of mine did a great thing during the pandemic he Well, he's locked down. I think everybody in the lockdown thought I'm going to get myself in shape, or I'm going to read the Constitution finally, or I'm going to learn a new language or whatever. Right. Almost get jacked. Yeah, I want to get jacked. Most people didn't do it, though, to be fair, right? And we didn't do it because we were a day drinking because we had a home school of three knuckleheads. But it's a great guy, colleague of mine. Had an idea to develop a small business and now has got it online. He's trying to make it work. It's called Bird Dog Investigations. It's not for everybody. It's for a specific purpose in life, in terms of a particular sector out there. But to me, it was just that thing where you see, okay, someone's actually taking that time and they've run with it, right? What does he try to do? Well, Bird Dog Investigations is a platform that It works in a couple of different ways, but one way is the world of private investigators out there, because that's sort of the guy's business in a way. But it helps them in their operations. If you're a private investigator out in the field, you're out there and you're You're taking notes, you know, the typical picture of a guy drinking coffee and trying to, you know, snap a couple of pictures of whatever it is insurance fraud or whatever it may be. And he's compiling all this information. Maybe he's writing some of it on a cocktail napkin in his car and then he's like, he's got all this shit. He's got to put it together. So the problem, the thing that's missing is the ability to say to punch it into an app, right? Punch it, compile all that. It takes all the photos. It formats it all into a preset format that the receiver, whether it's a law firm or a company, if the guy's working for a company, it just sets it all in there. And then it could but it's also it's also useful for large companies like you think about you think about a company out there transportation business like FedEx or UPS or one of those and their drivers are constant what's happening is is this fraud out there where they get sideswiped purposely right or they set up fake accidents and then people are suing a company like UPS or FedEx or DHL or whomever And it costs a lot of money. It costs them a lot of money to get out of these things. That's an epidemic. It's a real problem because it involves the perpetrators, right, tend to be the same. It involves law firms and involves pain specialists and doctors. They're all kind of, they're in on this thing, right? So certain jurisdictions around the country have more of a problem than others. Big urban centers as you get imagined. So anyway, if the idea was this guy came on inside, you know what, if the drivers of these vehicles have something where they can, you know, take photos of the situation, punch in all the details, it goes straight into a report that looks, it goes into the company. Great. Now you're not, you know, it's there instantaneously they can assess the situation, they can react quicker, they can identify the frauds. So anyway, my whole point was it's just good to see, you know,

Yeah, with their time and and then again, that entrepreneurial spirit that I just banged on about. So there. That's me.

I didn't know that. What were you doing surveillance?

Why did you see it? Was it in the paper?

Yeah, he's a lot of that. And it still is. And that's kind of where the world of private investigators are in my company. It's not, we do larger multijurist or external investigations and things. But the world of the PI hasn't really changed that much. I mean, the technology has made it easier and better to something great.

But it's mostly, there's a lot of the fraud. There's still a lot of sort of the cheating spouses.

I might need some more photographs.

Yeah. But that's the world of the, that's the world of the PI. It's a tough world.

Do you ever do any surveillance form or anything like that?

Oh, good. Okay. I was sure where you're going.

Fuck her. That's right. Yeah, it's a listation, right? You know, that's a big part of it.

Well, shit. I had no idea. If you ever get down on your luck, you know, you can work for my business.

That is a problem. You can't really blend it in.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He's probably happier as a fat guy. He doesn't have to.

Yeah, what if he wore it home? See married honey?

Plus, if you're married to Chris Edwards, you're probably not thinking Jesus.

Yeah, it doesn't even sweat. Oh, yeah, so I just I fully answered. I fully answered your alien question, right?

Thank you.

But you know what, I would say, in the realm of what's possible in this entire world and universe that we don't know anything about, I'd say yes. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say yeah, because we're just so much we don't know. And so I think it would be You know, again, that's sort of the, uh, that's kind of like the operational investigative pragmatic side, which says, you can't rule out anything that you don't know a hundred percent.

I think there's something there that we couldn't explain and and Do I now there's a difference there, right? So there's difference it says there's something there that we can't explain that At least with the tools that we've got currently and the technology that we've got currently That's not the same thing as saying the government knows what it is and is hiding. Right. So, you know, I'm not not taking that job yet. And because in part because I look, I work long enough for the government to know that you know, they You know, you can't keep a secret. I mean, over a period of time, it's just very, very tough. And so, do I think that they could, everybody involved and could keep their yaps shut after all these years? Now, so that's the one thing that rules out the idea in my mind to some degree, again, not really it entirely, that it didn't have. I think that there's there's something there that we can't explain and that definitely bears further investigation. Do I think we're investigating it? Yes sure. Do I think there's some element out there within the the military that is investigating the tic tac as an example? What flavor so? Absolutely. I mean we'd be silly not to right because you know that's a national security issue at that point.

Absolutely, which is why, again, that was really the reason for creating a tip anyway within the Pentagon was because it's, again, it's a national security issue, right? Is, is, do the Chinese have they develop some propulsion system? We don't know about it. The Russians done that. I mean, do this, this is only so many, you know, options there in terms of the countries that have the resources and the ability. Yeah, so we should be investigating these things. We should be looking at this. Do I think everything needs to be out on the table? Again, going back to what you were talking about before, is there a need for secrets? Well, sure. Yeah, there are some needs for secrecy here.

I would say that there's potentially because of Yeah, that's a tough one, you know what? That is a tough one. I could see where you could argue if we have anything that we know about alien life or technology or around any of this issue that we should just come out, put it on the table.

They're doing pretty well handling the election week.

There would be a run on tinfoil. No doubt. Oh, so I think, you know, I guess Yeah, I mean, you could argue the other way and say, well, if it had, if it had happened or if, if, and again, I'm not saying that's the case, but if the government was aware of visits from other worlds, you know, maybe it helps people put things in perspective, you know, maybe they don't freak out as much, maybe they just think, okay, fine.

Right. And so maybe at your night's people, sort of like in the pendant's day, and then it's a famous Reagan speech, right?

He's not coming right out and telling us. Yes. But he's implying that he knows something.

Well, wait, wait, what do you think?

Yeah. More water than they expected. Yeah.

and another black hole.

I mean, I think the key there is, hey, we don't know what we don't know, and just the sheer size scope and the idea that we'd have to be pretty fucking cock-sure to think that we're the only intelligent life in this entire setup spinning around out here on our own. But I think not to take it back full circle, but Yeah, it's that idea that if, you know, don't discount ideas, don't, don't, you know, don't rule things out unless you've got the evidence to do so, right? You know, anyway, I mean, it would be majorly disruptive.

They'd be cataloging things with all the other, you know, life that they've, or life forms that they've found and saying, okay, this is, this is how these guys behave in a social environment. They're pretty fucked up.

Again, it's arrogance to think otherwise that there's other things out there, that's other life forms. It's just, to me it just strikes me as odd that someone would be so definite and say, no, that's it. Maybe we find a micro about there somewhere, but that's pretty much it.

Yeah, and don't worry about this, uh, this election thing. Just all. Oh, the public will survive. It will survive. It will survive. If I had one one parting message for people would be that look, you know, just like we said, you'll look. Yeah, but, but, um, if there's a regularities that are legitimate or should be investigated, that this process is going to work it out, right? Between what is it December 8 and December 14th, is when everything has to be kind of finalized and then, you know, it makes a tweet of Congress, Congress counts out on like the 6th of January.

I mean, I think that's what's going to happen. It's likely. I mean, unless, look, I mean, by the time we're talking right now, I don't know, maybe Nevada's been decided in which case Joe Biden's got 270. Well, Jamie's going to pull that up.

But even if he has 270, even if he has 270, it doesn't mean that they stop the legal procedures in certain locations, right? And so I think that, yes, it's likely to go on much like it didn't 2000, it's likely to go on till December 12th, 13th, but there is an ending to it. So all these people who think, oh my God, he's never gonna leave and he's gonna lock him up. It's not the way this works, right? He doesn't get to make that decision. It's a legal process, it's a process that on the 20th of January, his term ends and we get a new president, either he continues or we get a revised president or president like Biden.

Oh my god. Yes, there is that never rule anything out, but that's just not happening. And we are going to be just fine. Again, pay attention. If you're paying attention anything, pay attention to what's happening in Georgia with those Senate races. That's where the balance of power really sits.

If neither of those races hits 50%, plus one vote, then they both go to run-offs in January. And that's where they're going to open up the spicket, and hundreds of millions of dollars are going to flow into Georgia for those races. From both sides, I'm sure, because they know what this means, right? If both of those races go to the dams, then you got a 50-50, and guess who makes a deciding vote every time there's a tie in the Senate, it's Kamala Harris. So the dams know the importance of this. Pelosi is all right. She's a very smart political operative. She's focused on this. I guarantee it, right? She's trying to, you know, in a way kind of trying to save her job as a speaker because they, you know, they didn't do what they expected they were going to do. But they know how important that Georgia race is on both of those accounts. So

Are you ever gonna make your way up to hide at home?

I would love to. You gotta come up and you gotta do a show again up there. People are noisy keep out every time I say I'm We're getting together this thing. I'm like, I want to come back. I said, well, not right now because you got the pandemic.

It's been you know what? It's been pretty good up there. We get a number spike a little bit, but You know people are surviving now.

No, I like faces too. And it's just, uh, Yeah, we'll get back to we will get back to normal pandemics and that's by definition and pandemics and and we will have another one and so then you hope that we're smart enough to have learned something from this.

Yeah, we got that show black files to class by we start filming the second season in January. And we are going to have an interesting episode on not necessarily on aliens, but on the programs surrounding the governments investigation of but identified objects and things. So we're going to dive a lot deeper into it. Hopefully I'll come back and I'll have answers. Specific answers for your question.
