episodes yeah I mean I don't know some people must like how we roll because we have a pretty

consistent you know listener shabby's yeah that's cool we appreciate it yeah so it's I mean it could

be a new group of 3,000 people each month for all I know that's cool but I doubt it I doubt it

so a hundred episodes over the last what do you say two years because we had the final

Sophia yeah that went on that went on for about a year I think right yeah and it's probably it's

probably not quite a hundred because I have a couple of other shows I've done plugged in there

and stuff so it's somewhere around there yeah my freaking dog man my dog it's a live and organism

my dog knows what I'm sitting down to record like get on a zoom call and he gets in the stuff

yeah it's always in that's how I know he's almost too cool he's um he's good I love dogs so no one

get mad at me but dude he's not the smartest creature I got that since day one I got ever created are

you comparing it to the last one you had I am yes I miss my last dog I love this dog no one

get mad at me he's a good dog right he's just um he's just a real pain in the ass my last

dog is just like standard yeah he's not my last dog I felt like we had like we were on the same

wavelength you know like he knew what I wanted since they won yeah this dog he's just a problem

man he's just he destroys stuff he escapes so like like if we it's sweet right we leave the house

he wants to come but it's like he learned how to open doors he choose up he chewed a hole in our wall

dude maybe he's playing dumb but he's maybe he's actually like fucking genius like it gets a

vaunt no spending hour with this dog I'll change your mind all right here you go I made him a little bit

he's very friendly very friendly very nice very nice guy very nice to hold into a plaster wall

just I've never seen anything like it dude what are you feeding this guy into I mean he was a

hungry he just he just gets he's like I'm gonna chew a hole in this wall that's funny dude I was

looking at some stats on how many McDonald's we have okay in America and about

the 78 million pounds that they cooked daily dude so people are asking where are they getting all

this meat you know yeah yeah and what's a lot of meat well you know of course you're gonna say well

they're feeding you know they're feeding us basically human that's human so that's that

conspiracy right oh nice we don't have so many cows they must be feeding us you know well I'm

sure I'm sure none of it comes from America right I'm sure it all comes from China south of

that and then some of it is printed right now it's 20% wood pulp yeah in fact if you search like

there's a there's a big Mac with fries like on display and fresh air I think it's just isn't

even in a vacuum I think it's just with that glass like cover and it's intact nothing has

spoiled nothing it's pretty impressive that's wild that's um alarming yeah dude first of all

why are you eating there they'll get me wrong I don't think many people do I mean I think it's

a socioeconomic thing you know now and then I do crave those fucking fries and then I feel my

my heart rate just a resting heart rate 130 you know sweating is like what are you oh you ate

McDonald's it's very rare maybe once every three years and then I get that big Mac oh yeah oh man

I'm a sir I thought there was I'm a sinner I thought there was cellulose in the beef but it says

no there's no added cellulose it's used in the chicken and bread if you call that chicken well

it's not as wood pulp it's cellulose exactly exactly and then and then I crave those now and then

those sausage like muffin with egg that I that I resonate I didn't I didn't I wasn't going to

give you a hard time about the big Mac but big Mac it's fine but dude sausage McMuffin good you

listen to me yeah so just like you know how much pig eyelid isn't that no dude just to think

about our parents well my parents used to take us like on a Sunday as a reward of doing good at

school yeah have to cross a border and say hey you're gonna get fucking pancakes with sausage and

all the good stuff in play in the playhouse with Ronald McDonald you know and that was like

the greatest times thinking that I was eating some nuke food and not even real food that's crazy

stuff man food now it's it's insane have you since have you been to sprouts lately yeah yeah it's

bus it's busy it's busy so I guess I haven't been in lately I do a lot in school I know it's

lame all the Gen Cs are like hitting that up they're getting rewards and they actually have decent

stuff even wine oh interesting yeah it's actually not not too expensive which is nice better

that and the big hit has been the prep meals so you go in there you get your meals for the week

it's already prepped for you nice and fresh there you go all right so listen to this talk talk

about the life of a professional podcaster you ready for this do it I'm gonna put a two-minute clip

on and while I'm gone I'm gonna go wipe my son's butt forever that's amazing and I'm gonna hustle and

you're gonna have to if I can get back in a minute in 50 seconds share your screen at least I'm

going to right now okay I think tell me tell me if you've seen this yeah good evening on Friday the

Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas threatening a criminal

indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June that testimony

concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings

I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy no one certainly

not the chair of the Federal Reserve is above the law but this unprecedented action should be seen

in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure this new threat is not

about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings it is not

about Congress's oversight role the fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every

effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project those are pretexts the threat of

criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best

assessment of what will serve the public rather than following the preferences of the president

this is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence

and economic conditions or whether instead my did is that enough I don't know what was said what

is going on have you heard about this no not at all it's uh it's not that big with you all it's

it's this was like not quite a week ago but um so so you know I was thinking today

and then we'll actually get started I really want to get back to our roots of like science

and spirituality and stuff it's just there's something going on right now in the culture maybe it's

just me but I'm just like having a hard time getting out of the like political matrix

now you know you've you recently started a new job you know regular hours been very busy

busting it so fortunately I think you've probably been spared from some of it but have you noticed

that and people you interact with or you notice you know a lot of political intrigue right now

in the in the people are not really yes not so much at work but um the people that are

interact with a lot of patients bring that actually oh really yeah of course and they're not shy

about it either I'm still doing house calls so I still see a lot of that so I'm I'm still doing that

and you know people are less shy when you're in their house they have like the mugs America first

and or or whatever you know yeah yeah and they're more open about it but I want to be social but

I think I'm a bit of anti social if I have a chance yeah I mean to come on like private but no

there's a there's an unrest especially in the social media like that's when you get the most of it

yeah it's that's where it probably comes from for me because you know I work from home my only

interaction with the general public is like the coffee shop the thing mechanic you know um so I

I was just curious if what you've seen because I know you interact with more like strangers than I do

but yeah for me here in my little uh social media matrix it's like there's just a lot of like uh

even in our chat room there's like a lot of like uh um I wonder if that's like by design this is

kind of this is kind of the angle um the stuff I want to present today is it's kind of related to

this idea that like there's a just a feverish interest in politics right now and actually I think

what it is is people feel like now it transcends politics it feels like a matter of life and death

you know how every political cycle they try to convince you like this is the most important

election of the century or of the millennia you know right um now it's I feel like it's like that

every day every day getting messages from friends and family do you see this do you see that

anyway that must be that must that must drive you nuts or he would drive me nuts it's um it's interesting

to me because I'm like I'm trying to step back from it and be like why what is this isn't it real

like is it politics factured any is it politics here in America I'm assuming or politics worldwide um I

mean because I know there's time for but I ran but every day is like there's a headline right there's

a new dude a new thing and you know the one thing we're not talking about what's that yeah

steam files I can't help but wonder if that's like just a fluke a happy accident or the

no you know after Venezuela we're gonna go to Iran and so forth and so and then Russia and then

China and so forth and so on so yeah he will never stop until until he's off office just to let

you know I think it's just like a a current of die you know of distractions by design

right to just yeah to forget about it I mean I think what what was it better than a war I think

I think I think it's that and I also think there's a money making angle to it and so

so this is where I'm going tonight and I promise people I looked for a non-political clip to play

for us everything's three hours long now which I used to like oh no dude ever since they won

I can only give you 45 minutes to an hour geez well especially if you're like playing a clip

on a show you need like a minute or two you know like give me a one minute so I'll put more time

into it and next week we'll get back into that stuff some listeners sent me some cool stuff about

Rupert Sheldrake and all that we'll get back to it but let me just make what I think is a take

that you're probably not getting other places that's my goal nice I think there is a money making

to the new cycle right now that's not accidental but by design hmm because there's all these things

happening that have in this I was trying to find before the show I made a list of all the things

I observed in the last two weeks and then I forgot to save it so I'm going to try to go out of memory

but there's these things that happen generally a tweet by Trump but not always generally a tweet by

Trump and there's massive specific stock market reactions you know and then he doesn't do the

thing he said he was going to do and it goes back to normal so it's like it's almost like he's

realized or people around him have realized and listen I'm not this if you love Trump hate Trump

just like set that aside for a second it it seems like there's some I'm trying to think of a

less offensive word than manipulation but there's some manipulation going on so you got to admit

the power you have if you're the president you can say something radical and buy the stock before

you say it there's no insider trading rules you know or even if it's not him directly but people he

knows hmm and so I'll just give you the the first example is related to interest rates so he's

been putting a lot of pressure on this guy right to lower interest rates and I think a lot of

people would be all for that you know I'd be for that if rates dropped I think that's probably

in every aspect I mean I know he's pushing for the credit card or deal yeah well okay well that

we're going to talk about too that I'm going to talk about too because that's another one that's

another one of these things right and so but he's pushing he's pushing for this guy the Fed

share to drop rates and so he's not doing it right so what Trump does is he announces he says that

he's you know ordering his representatives to communicate the family main Freddie Mac that they

must buy 200 billion dollars worth of mortgage bonds and just the tweet cause interest rates to drop

to the lowest they've been in years still high relatively but to the lowest they've been in years

and I know people who made over a hundred thousand dollars just off that trade they saw his tweet yep

they went they they would dump a bunch of money like open door some stock that would benefit

from a mortgage rate drop or like annually capital management what like a mortgage

um anything paid to rates you know any industry paid to rates people double triple quadruple their

money wow and then as far as I can tell the 200 billion is not going to happen some purchases were

made I think it was like a few billion so I'm not saying nothing happened but it's just the threat

and so it's uh it's a type of market manipulation that I think's been done on purpose

yes now what did he say to BlackRock do you remember did you see what he said to BlackRock

no no no so we've talked about this what's our problem with BlackRock I've heard you mentioned it

before what's the issue they own everything they own everything but what are they trying to buy

that kind of pisses you off you've mentioned it uh what's it how how's it yes yeah residential homes

yeah a lot it's a lot it's a lot of different companies doing it it's not just I mean BlackRock

I think owns a lot like in Vegas there was that guy that shot the CEO right um do you remember

that the guy went to New York with the air 15 and killability that's crazy dude those are just

crazy the stuff we forget like anyway so he says he's gonna pass a lot to prevent that from

happening BlackRock tanks relatively the stock people in the short positions make a fortune

first of all who's shorting BlackRock I mean this almost like you got to have insight or knowledge

right right they make a fortune then not only does he not pass the order he's hiring a BlackRock

CIO to replace this guy the clip I just played and then it does a reverse you know not it goes

back to where it was and on the news of this announcement that they're probably gonna point

up BlackRock guy it goes way higher than it was before so the amount of money being made

off these traits like if you know this if you either have a plan in place to do it as soon as

the tweet comes out or if you know beforehand you're making money millions millions millions

anyway do you have any thoughts on that well how do you get your hand on that

right it's just it's just I see everyone's like I don't know what the answer is to people because

I see everyone getting like emotionally invested in these tweets right and then there's a new cycle

that gets generated people post this that and it's like I think he's frustrating for them they

they want to find a pattern right and they get close to a pattern and they think they're gonna make

a lot of money but they're not on the inside right they're not they're not in the know

well I think I think I think people I think it's more like you think it's more I think it's more

people are forget about the making money aspect for a second like regular people are like emotionally

tied up and like he's gonna hire a BlackRock CEO yeah like they're pissed right because they hate

BlackRock and it's just like or they're excited that he's gonna prevent them from buying homes

I think it's you're I think people are totally missing the point he is just money making

oh yeah dude he's not actually doing the things he's saying he's gonna do people are mad

about the things they think he might do so I'm also hearing that people prefer because it's been

10 years since we chose Trump right the first Trump 10 years yeah so everyone likes the first

version of Trump this version of Trump is like a Sith Lord you know right yeah he lost his way

it's only here to make money yeah he's only here to make money for him and his

close ones it does kind of seem like that although I remember there was a lot of disappointment

the first term too but like I think he was forgiven because it's like he's an outsider you know

yeah and he actually made some changes that I think they're worth remembering you know they're good

and then if he was doing so good I mean I mean what I'm just curious I mean I'm not saying

to disagree with you but I mean he wasn't the best the COVID vaccine yeah exactly

but they threw the COVID thing and then he had to kind of bend over and take it in the

boop boop you know he said like all politicians he said all the right things I would say

right but when he got in he put in people like Mike Pompeo oh dude yeah Michael Bolton

right like all the all the people like if you want to talk about who the swamp is right he put

all those people in charge and we all kind of forgave him because it's like he's an outsider what

does he know do you know what I think dude I think there's no in every country has her own

puppets you know and it's a greater scheme of things it's an elite working them all together

look at the person they put in Venezuela right the interim what about her well she's not Christian

tell you that much well hold on I hear you're going with it but I don't think they actually put

her in officially no but you know no of course not but I mean that's the phase I want to put in

there you know there's two there's two women kind of buying for the job there's there's

rights right so one's the former vice president one and unless there's new news that I don't know

about but no no no no I mean it worked for Mexico right it worked for Mexico

and and Argentina right oh boy the algorithm guy he did listen I'm not saying I disagree I

just nervous I get nervous to talk about this go little by little they west or this hemisphere is

being taken over that's all I got to say that's go I got to say yeah but now dude you know you

get all wrapped up I'm so like fatigue from emotionally charging tweets well I think it's I

think you could put a positive spin on it well it's also bad right but you could put a positive

spin on it's like none of the most of these things don't actually come to pass so if you're someone

who's like yeah but you still got you still got your cortisol shut up you know you still got

you stress your emotional reaction and and it prides you to make that this decision but if you

can convince yourself not to get emotional and good luck with that make stock trades make stock

trades to get rich there you go converting into kinetic force man push forward and now we're seeing

all these airspace stocks going up right including rocket lab including the ones that you told me

because they're gearing up for that dome and I hope I hope this is just another example of this

like just another way to get people excited get stocks to rally and that we don't actually go

into like a widespread war or whatever no no one wants that man no one wants that but uh yeah

the stock market has been wild wild especially the defense sector have you seen it this while

ever yeah I mean with COVID and all that or yeah a lot of money was made during the COVID era

those were rough times yeah I mean not for the stock market really I mean initially yes but then

the recovery was people made lots of money um right yeah no right now it's insane it's insane like

like some of these stocks are moving like 30% a day cheese it's nuts and they have no revenue

I mean they might have revenue but they have no profit how does that make you feel what do you mean

meaning that you see people making millions um I mean will you try to get in on it you know you don't

you don't just kind of mostly about it yeah how do I grab some of that shit yeah it's best not to get

put it in a set can't be enjoying them kind of a thing yeah but uh it is tough because you never

this this is the problem is like when you have a market manipulator I'm not saying that's what

Trump is but it seems like you might be the problem is you don't know what he's gonna do

and so you you kind of become like a psychotherapist you're trying to think like what's his next move

gonna be like what's he gonna do next it's like a chess game yeah yeah and I have not been good at

guessing that which is I generally try to buy and hold stuff but I um I'm trying to think of

there's anything else oh the the usery thing so everyone's pretty excited because Trump's

made he's done I mean let's be honest we haven't hasn't been what we hold for right I they're still

like a core group of people who are like yeah we love it and I try to be optimistic like I try to

say like hey you know what at least we're getting Greenland and Venezuela like we're not doing 30

year wars in Iraq right oh yeah let's pay him a hundred thousand dollars I'm okay I'm fine with that

okay I'm good Greenland you think acquiring Greenland is a good idea I'll take it you know sure

that yeah sure yeah what about you uh strategically speaking I think it's great yeah I don't

nothing grows there nothing grows there but it's so close to to other countries yeah and I think

where the real move there is mining yeah there's a lot of minerals and things strategic resources right

and do you but do you think Denmark is gonna let that one go I don't I don't really know if they

have a choice I obviously I can't see I can't read Trump's mind I don't know how much of this is

just like a show yeah fluff and how much of this is like a real ambition of his but I think if it's

something we really want I mean what what are they gonna do about it right you know not to be like

callous but just to be practical you know all right what are they gonna do about it and there are all

these rumors that some of these tech guys are putting money into big projects that are gonna take

place in Greenland so it's like they would know right say the presumption is that maybe they've

been told that we're getting Greenland you know dude I that's highly unlikely though it sure seems

highly unlikely yeah dude it's isn't like independent or it's actually a colony from Denmark yeah

some arrangements Denmark belongs to Denmark somehow I guess that is so weird he might

know something that we don't know as usual it's either the Russia thing I mean it is possible we

really are headed towards like World War 3 like I don't want to be dramatic but it is possible

and so in that case like yeah we would want Greenland you know oh we know a war is gonna happen

but we just we have bases there already so I don't really know like why it's important

we would go with Russia though I don't I don't think that's the route I think it's gonna be like a

multi national miss information war this is what's happening I miss information war meaning that a lot

of people are here in different things from different outlets and making their own conclusions

kind of thing and so I don't think it's it's it's a cold war I tell you that

a cold war yeah I can see that for sure it's a cyber cold war that's kind of like that's the

kind of war that's best for everybody yes that's true but it can go on forever I mean even the

cold war went on forever you know I think that would be like what people would want what I see

people I mean these lizards that run the world you know right right right right I mean there's

probably a brand there's probably a subset of lizards that really want a world war for whatever

reason but I think like the regular lizards you know yeah right well that'll be good because

it can prolong it forever and keep people on edge and and when you keep people on edge yes to make

irrational decisions they say yes right away right they make emotional right decisions also I

mean we don't spend a million why sorry a million 1.5 trillion a year in the military to not use it

I mean let's go locking it we're not gonna like again like I'm not advocating for that no I'm

an isolationist I don't think we should be doing anything but like let's just look at the reality

we spend 1.5 trillion dollars a year on the military probably way more that's the public figure right

I wonder what they're not gonna not use it right I wonder what the equivalent was for the

Roman Empire to spend on their army oh wow that'd be interesting enough you know I'm sure a lot of

money they had a lot of benefits you know so yeah what do you think that is well I think but I

think I think I think the difference now is we've created an industry around it so there's

interests so there are there are money interests in funneling a budget into research and development

who reinvented money man I used to be really into the history of money if you read the creature

from Jekyll Island it's a good idea oh yeah it encapsulates pretty much every aspect of your

of our lives yeah really yeah how much is too much you know and how little is too little well we

sir you know the regular people like us certainly don't have too much all right right these people

who this just it's unbelievable isn't that the what Elon was about to get like three trillion I

think for no I think he was about to become the first trillionaire okay so if you have a trillion

on right if you have a trillion dollars I think that's equivalent of about oh man I forgot the stats

but I think three million a day for the next 300 years or something like that three million

300 years yeah I mean it's it's just ridiculous I'm not defending the amount of money he has but

it's not like he has a trillion dollars I mean well that's true but he would crash the stock market

if he tried to withdraw three million dollars you know right right but he's yeah he's got plenty of

money he has plenty of money but yeah sorry I mean I got to grab something tell

the stories tell the listeners or any 30 seconds 30 tell the guys interesting well I'm happy

you're listening this is not an advertisement pause commercial but if you're still listening

after a hundred show we appreciate you and thank you for being on the discord and sending us

emails whenever you can it's nice I know we've ran half of the time but we really want to go back

into the science aspect and religious aspect I mean Trevor has written books about it and I think

those are the two main components the science and religion of it and so we want to thank you for

listening so far to a hundredth how'd you do it how did I know I was talking to our listeners man

in a nice cool group man yeah I was telling that we really want to go back to our

our roots you know of science and religion I think that's what made it grow but you're right Trevor

I think we're getting bombarded with mass this information like you cannot not see it like every time

I open the you know Instagram and all that jazz it's it's that I think the like the interesting part

is that I think it's strategic I don't think it's um to what end profit generation yeah make money

yeah yeah yeah absolutely I mean if you look at the trades that were made in the oil industry after

Venezuela and again I think the important thing is there's no physical change in the world like

nothing's happened really from Venezuela right but yet millions of dollars were made

transactionally you know people buying on January 3rd if you look at the volume on January 3rd

before uh no no sorry it was right after the day before January 2nd and January 3rd the

buying activity in like these oil stocks was super high and then then like in the weeks after

the general public invests because they see something on Instagram or they come up with the idea

on their own you know and they drive the price higher and then the smart money sells

and then the public's left holding the bag they lose right they take a loss

and uh it's just this wealth transfer that's going on and I think people get so emotional about

the politics of it it's like like it's like take a breath like there is a strategic manipulation

of the markets going on that's why that's how it seems to me I could be wrong but just if you look

at what's actually happened you know there's a tweet there's a specific market reaction and then

it nothing happens I wonder if uh it's speaking of pattern recognition I wonder if AI can pick up

those patterns you know a form of AI like right now I don't know if you know but we can now like

understand whales like we can communicate with them right yeah I mean this is the big thing

right now in day trading it's like AI models your rights for making transactions actually the guy

who owns fringe radio network which we're on um he makes uh 4x for for uh foreign currency exchange

AIs and uh I don't know his success rate but there's like perplexity finances one you people can

check out and that's all legal right yeah yeah that's crazy I don't know how good it is I mean

nothing beats just so so there's a there's a celebrity that my wife knows and um

they're helping her with their business right I'm trying to talk in like generalities

and so normally when they have a customer they'll like present a product and they'll say like we

think this product is going to be on trend next year and so we can start manufacturing it for

you now right they plan like a year or two ahead um they they said that to this celebrity and my

wife was like that's a mistake you shouldn't tell her that and they're like why and she said because

this celebrity she decides what the trends are going to be oh wow you know like we you should be

doing research into what she wants to do not the other way around right because because her influence

is such that whatever she whatever product she picks that will be the trending product next year

and it's not a pride thing it's just a fact right some people just have huge influence in the market

that's what Trump has times a million and so he can the AI doesn't know that the AI knows patterns

he's like an aberration from the pattern he can just decide he can send out a tweet that swings

billions of dollars trillions of dollars it's fascinating I don't know how this isn't like the

biggest story you know like we were all excited about the credit card stuff right that's a good

thing that would be like that'd be something he could do that his fan base would be like finally

is there anyone in that doesn't think credit card should be capped at 10%

a few people actually they are companies yeah they see it like a complete disaster because people

have no self modulation yeah so they're saying by bringing it down they're gonna just start spending

money and not pay it back so I've heard that side sure yeah yeah I mean I'm not sure how

we should interest rates motivates you to even try to pay it back but yeah I think there are real

reasons where it's a bad idea right but like let's say that aside for a second most people want

that's like 30% credit cards that's nuts you know that's predatory and there's always been usually

that is 27 dude that's not I need to get rid of that get rid of that I should try I'm trying

but the thing is he's not actually gonna do it the point is he put the tweet out right he put

the tweet out and am x visa these companies these credit card companies and not even just

credit card companies but the banks that like underwrite them I don't know how this works they

don't think so if you had a short position in those companies you could have just made untold

millions of dollars right and then they go back a few days later bastards so there's just a massive

wealth transfer that's it that's all that that's how it is it's a transfer from 401k accounts

to hedge funds or you know whoever whoever knows in advance what he's doing is this do you think

this is paranoid like or do you think like because this I don't have any evidence of this I'm just

seeing the patterns of what's happening that's interesting yeah no I to be honest I haven't really

pay attention like that that's cool no I don't think it's paranoid I think it's trying to get

a little bit of that you know a little bit of that that's all don't you just want a little bit of

that yeah just just just just enough to kind of get it by you know I think people get here this and

think either they're mad at me because they love Trump so much yeah or they're mad at me because I'm

like laughing about wealth transfer and it's like I'm not laughing about I'm just trying to understand

and why would you love Trump so much like people actually do yeah well I think there is a time when

like he was okay he was excited the white white night night right I think there's a lot of people

who just want like I mean really the mess that what was it make America great again that that's

a captivating message to a lot of people I still believe in that but I just I want it him I still

want it right right now now what I hear is America first yes this is like this is like you know it

was inspired by Trump because you know he came down the escalator and he said from now on it's

going to be America first America first he said it like over and over again but now it's actually

like a rival movement I would say right well that was that word for Trump won America first now it's

the opposite JD Vance is still trying to say it and speeches and stuff I think he's trying to like

he doesn't want to lose that energy he's in a tough place because he's trying to keep the Trump

endorse I mean he's he's trying to get the people who love Trump to still like him but there's

this growing up amount amount of conservatives young conservatives that don't like him so he's

trying to get them to it's going to be interesting man yeah a little fireworks I don't know I don't

know if I even care anymore I just I want to know what's the next thing Trump's going to tweet

and I want to buy it you doing all right Trevor you doing all right yeah you know like you don't

want to make money no no I do that's what I'm saying if you're doing all right I'll fucking

now I'll I'll I'll see you there yeah look at it is that bad I mean I don't know not at all not

at all no and I didn't mean it in a bad way I've mentioned it's you can drive you not so man

yeah it's no it does I mean I think it's immoral what's happening but it's like it's a moral

whether I think it's a moral or not it just is right yeah it doesn't really and also there's

this idea I think people don't understand like when you buy a stock that money doesn't go to the

company like they don't get the money it's just floats it goes to whoever sold it to you so some

guys 401k or some dude some day trader and I have a it's on that note I have a little bit of advice

for I have a new stock trading strategy this is going to be happy fools goes finance if you're

curious let's do it what's up but I'm almost done I'll come see with you let me just tell let me just

tell Alfredo how to get rich yeah please let me tell Alfredo how to get rich and then we'll watch

the movie buddy just just uppercut uppercut jab jab uppercut all right so you can it's really

easy to find you can find a website that posts insider transactions and so I think the strategy is

you find someone who's buying a company that they are an executive at so you can just type in

insider space buying it's a Google there's a million different websites I forget the name

of the one I look at but it's like insider finance dot bio or something like that anyway so you

you filter by buys so people putting money into their company they know they're in the board meetings

right and you look for big transactions like over a million dollars and big transactions that

I think occurred late in the day right so that you can get the upswing the next day and that

represent a big change in their ownership position so like if they if they buy a million dollars

worth of their stock and that's a one like a 50% increase or a 80% increase in their ownership

position it means like they're put them big money into this so it's like they know something

it's not perfect sometimes people just do it because they have extra money right

but I think that is the play for the next six months because we're I think we're going into one

of the most volatile stock market periods in a long time leading up to a major recession that would

be my prediction unless we go into like a world war scenario unless we go into like a you know easy

money scenario government backed you know interest rates go down industry ramps up

I think that's where we're headed so yeah so I would say

I've heard of that that's what I'm saying yeah I heard of that recession

you had yeah nope that it's coming up

yeah I mean people have since there's always somebody saying there's about to be a recession

that's true I don't see how there couldn't be

unless something something unless something pretty drastic happens because

our economy's basically health care real estate and finance

and that's just not going to do it anymore like I think the market's been manipulated to its maximum

there's been easy money for so long inflations really becoming a problem yeah

and now if they're potentially lowering rates I think we'll get like one last big like

maybe a year or two have just run away asset inflation and then do you think you're gonna keep

okay I see so you think you're gonna either because we have two years left right

I'm sorry yeah yeah what we at right so you think they're gonna keep up at this rate or do

something drastic I don't know I hit you know I hate to make predictions there's not financial advice

but I think I think he can keep it going just to get vans I think Trump's got the awareness

like he's got the market awareness he can keep people distracted with the right things you know

dude that guy is such a show man that's amazing he's a show man dude exactly it's a showman

is the greatest showman on earth right isn't that a movie with you Jackman yes

I'm never really good at it man he's good he's good I mean how many times has he been bankrupt

like three times I don't know but the dude he's he gets super models for for wives you know

he's got he's got something figured out whatever it is you know it's probably evil and a moral

or whatever but he has something figured out he know I I truly believe he knows how to oh yeah

just like capture the public and that's I don't mean they like him no and that's impressive in

itself everyone talks about him yes exactly and that is such a power yes you know for you to be

in someone's mouth whether he's good or bad doesn't matter your name is just trending yes

dude dude so for that that's why people laugh at us so they couldn't like the first time they

couldn't believe we chose elected Trump you know it's a president oh yeah they're laughing at us in

Italy and and Spain is like hey you guys got Trump I can't believe it how do you guys deal with that

is like we just do man it's like that guy is such a clown is like yeah well you know that's

where we at I mean they're all clowns yeah some more than others this guy plays a part he's a

he'll fuck a dance you know yes he knows how to get the whole world I mean look at look at the ice

stuff right right now you could say I think some people make the mistake of thinking he's just like

ineffective but I think it's all by design I could be I could be wrong but like

you look at how many deportations there were under Clinton under Obama even Bush although much

less under Bush even Biden like Trump's not really deporting anybody you know the message is

everyone yes everyone is like yeah the energy get it I get it you know the we have the

Minnesota thing and we I totally understand but it's like this guy knows how to push your buttons

that's pretty impressive it's like if you control what people are thinking about you can keep

them from thinking about the certain things you don't want them to think about and I think that's

perfect for the market yeah I think so yeah yeah that's great you don't you don't want them talking

about Epstein and you don't want him talking about inflation or whatever and he's been doing that

yeah and so to some degree just you got a kidnapped somebody from Venezuela if you got a

thread hey you got to do what you got to do that's got father shit level right there man the question

is dude it is the question is are the other people in on it like did you see McCrone in Denmark

did you see this crown no I haven't okay watch guys a clown so he uh he went to and not just him

other people too um what do he do now did his husband beat him again

speaking of McCrone I just don't know about the deep under right now okay this she's lost her mind

all right let's see really officially

for growing land territory autonomous kingdom of Denmark let me mute it since he can't

he's first of all he's got like a black eye do you see that oh dude yeah so that's a pink eye

yes it been so uh he deployed troops to Denmark these are all French troops and French fighter jets

here in this video you're seeing look at this clown walk uh the question is the question is like is

he in on it is he in on what just this whole thing like hey we got to keep people distracted dude he's

not pop it he's like the most beta dude ever it's like turdo another beta dude because it could just

it could just be like he just sees an opportunity to try to look strong right these guys the

whimpest stupid as it is right precedent whoa Francis serves it I'm sorry friends

Jesus man you need to fucking get you shut together yeah you know and so it's like is everyone in

on the game or is it is it are there true factions you know because Russia's threatening to

nuke Europe now right well and they can actually but the biggest loser is Europe like the biggest

winners will be of course USA Russia and China but the biggest losers here will be Europe

I don't know what he's trying to do look at Celensky here already accepted defeat now they're

gonna figure it out which parts of Ukraine they're gonna Russia's gonna take dude people people

underestimate Russia this is a this is a populate this is a civilization that's been so

resilient for thousands of years this is Russia don't underestimate them they're smart people man

yeah I think they're pretty hard folks man dude they're smart people I respect them nothing wrong

with them you know but don't cross them that's what Putin is trying to say NATO is trying to cross

him like hey we already had an agreement what are you doing so you think it's probably like a

legitimate yes I think I agree I think it's like they legitimately don't all your wants to

fuck him over yeah that's the bottom line yeah that's the bottom line Russia Russia is not gonna let

that go and China is just waiting to take Taiwan let's be real yeah that'll be interesting America USA took

Venezuela Russia took Ukraine now it's China is gonna take Taiwan yeah I think that will happen

next year which is not gonna be fun because Taiwan of you know they make this super computers

and the chips and all that so it's gonna be a that's why I say it's gonna be a cold cyber war

it's gonna be a halt an AI it's gonna be a mess sorry a lot of money being made in AI stocks right

now I've been watching this especially the military ones hmm what is the IPO's a lot of

IPOs this year that's why I don't think the recession will crash or sorry I don't think the recession

will happen this year yeah because there's no money to make I think everybody's caching out I think

that's why there's so many IPOs open AI is doing an IPO I forget the number of IPOs and 26 is it

sane let me let me pull up the list for people who don't know an IPO is like it's it's it's it's

basically a Ponzi scheme um I've actually been right I've been writing this and then the book

about AI like you you start in your garage right and you you use your own money you ask your dad

for money and you build let's let some app let's say right and then you're like okay now we

actually did it so we need to raise some real money so we can hire people so then you do like it's

called a is it C or C or Series A Series B Series C and you're pulling in money from like private

equity venture capital angel investors like professional investors and they buy into your company

and then they will offload they're like the smart money right so then you get together then

you do an IPO and now you sell shares in your company to the public and they'll a lot of times

sometimes they'll stay in but most of the time they're out they sell their shares to the public at

a premium they make a fortune they're gone so the dumbest money is you know usually the public

and there's always a big drop in the stock after it's released and so uh this is going to 2026

is like the year of the IPO um everybody's IPO so we got Anthropic the AI company open AI the

biggest right SpaceX um Saudi Aramco which some people think is the biggest company in the world

is going public um there's way more than this I don't know why this isn't the full list but

anyway the the point is like everybody's getting out that's my prediction wow so fortunes will be

made in 2026 in 2027 China this this will live to haunt me I guarantee you you know just some people

know it's January 16th 2026 right now I'm sure this will all be wrong but um then in 2027

China takes Taiwan and to either it all goes to hell you have a major recession or

we use the threat of such a major geopolitical war to somehow get out of it

like to just shift people's attention to like the war machine or the empire or something you know

we we can't do anything we won't be able to do anything which is have to predict our allies which

is South Korea it's just a question is is is see I just I wonder if it just could be fake you know

what I mean like like we're we're operating under the assumption that like there really is the

threat of war and uh there might be real war I don't I think these rich people who run the world

don't mind if people die right oh they don't care so there could be you know real war actually but

I don't know which would suck though we we're not supporting war by any means absolutely we just

see in the trend and and Taiwan is right there oh the other company I was trying to think of

as anderill um anderill is another Lord of the Rings so Palantir you know Palantir yeah

Palantir so that's a Lord of the Rings name it's uh it's the it's the orb that

Sarman looks through to spy on the world and that's the name of the stock I mean the company

the spice the spy company that's gonna spy on American citizens yeah nice what's the name of it

anderill is another one that's a sword from Lord of the Rings this is this kid named Palmer Lucky

has a mullet he is just obsessed with making gadgets at kill people right that's his thing

and so they're going public next year too that's gonna be huge um

anyway it's just plaid is going public that's a big thing to kill people

what so that's gonna be wild so yeah I mean I don't I don't recommend people to gamble but I'd

like to so we you and I need to talk off record and uh start rolling this dice man

yeah I don't know I'm serious let's have fun a little bit I agree no I'm in don't get me wrong

I'm gonna do it but why not a little a little a little relish on the fucking hotdog

the right the right time to start would have been you know 10 years ago obviously but I think

oh yeah well we're gonna say this 10 years from now yeah I think we got one last raw

in the markets I think we're gearing up for some wild inflation and this is what people

need to understand like inflation hurts people with savings right and it helps people with assets

and so you know a lot of times the inflation occurs in the markets so if you own these shares they

inflate you know and so that's why people made a lot it's well have made quite a bit of money

in the housing their assets sell into houses right you know and not in your savings right

you're right and I don't think debt is good and I don't really have much but if you have debt

linked to an asset you know theoretically that's actually a good thing right because you can buy

the I've and I mentioned this before but you can buy the asset the debt the value of the debt goes

down due to inflation the value of the asset goes up so it's like a double win I I agree they're like

why did these people is this this is probably a naive thing to say why did they need so much money

that's a good question man what's coming that they need so much money I always think about that

but they've been doing this since the desert you know the desert meaning when they'd

escape since the beginning of time people would just never mind people just wanted to ask money

you know what but it's like but why what do they do with it and what are they buying with it

maybe maybe they want for their fat for their future generations I guess but I mean you got

a trillion dollars I mean you're you will never spend it like you're great great great great great

great children we'll spend it yeah look at him musk he has like 10 children yeah yeah but they

like 100 billion dollars each one of them would be on one of the richest people in the world all

become from me man I just wanna buy memories and be comfortable really

you know I wanna even the goal is to be able to just do stuff you enjoy all the time right that's

the dream. Is it? Because that's what I'm doing. Well, I'm sure you'd rather not go to work

if you didn't have to. I mean, I know you probably don't hate work, but no, I mean, I spend

like $160,000 in school and loans to do what I do. You know, if you get rid of all that,

you wouldn't say no to that, right? Oh, never. I was still probably show up, though, to

really. Okay. Yeah, man. I think that's kind of cool. Well, not that work. No, yeah, no,

that I get professor part, you know, yeah. But, uh, and at, at a lesser degree, you know,

just drop whenever I want to, man, I open the coffee shop, the brewery and the farm. That's

life right there and make bread. We just want the life that Maximus had. We want the

wheat fields. And you know who lives like that, dude? You're Europeans. Some of them. Not all,

not all. But yeah, they just have low overhead, you know, low overhead and make bread and sell it.

Yeah. I mean, that's what that's what happened. Strong dude. That's like strong traditional families,

where you got three generations of one house, right? Until you come to America and you said, like,

fuck it, though, let's let's maximize this recipe and make motor.

Well, on this hopeful note, this was sorry, sorry, this is kind of a random episode, everybody.

No, I needed to talk to Alfredo. This is fine. And this is fine as baby. Come on.

Yeah, I think this is a call to get us emotional. Now, I think the pushback is,

but all these bad things are happening. We got to be angry about it.

And I would say it makes no difference what you think or say or do.

Exactly. You know, like I think you're kind of you're kind of larping. This is a new word. I

learned not too long ago live action role play. You know the people who like fight in the forest

with swords and wands and shit. Oh, yeah. That's larping. Oh, dude, that makes total sense.

Larping live action role play live action role play. So when people try to say like,

there's just there, you know, the blood, the tree of liberty needs to be

watered with blood of patriots, right? Right. Right. It's like, bro,

you got a Machiawna this morning. Chill out. Like no one believes you. You know,

I love that. Just keep them all by gaming. You're still all by gaming.

No, don't give me rock. I'm not following my own advice all the time. I really

mad about the obscene stuff. I'm still in mad about it. But no, it doesn't matter. No,

it doesn't affect anything. Exactly. Exactly. Is that cynical, though? I think some people

say that's cynical. No, no, no. I mean, it is what it is. Do you have zero control?

So why emotionalize something they have zero control with and

right makes no sense. It's hold your view. Just let it. Yeah, don't let it freak you out.

Like keep them. You can still hold your same view that you think it's wrong, right?

Exactly. Dude, dude, sleep it at night through the night. It's like the greatest gift.

I agree. Don't agree. Oh, dude, I wake up. I was like, oh, that was really nice. I can

sleep a little bit more. But that's one of the, that's peace, man, to me. I don't know if

Candace Owens can do that or a few other ones. I'm curious. They might sleep like babies. I don't

know. Not with with ambience. Dude, she's talking about the Anunnaki. She's on our turf now.

She's talking about how like took her or the Kirk had Anunnaki technology and used a time

traveler. It's just, I need to hear her later. It's like, I wonder like, was she like designed

to destroy whatever this like kind of America first movement was maybe or she just really

batshit crazy? No. People sleep well with medication, but I want to sleep well natural, you know.

Speaking of not getting emotionally charged and sleeping well, I do need to update my Epstein take.

Okay. Okay, this is a weird take. I think maybe the media has sensationalized the sex aspect of

it too much because it's become about, it's become about the sex crime which is a crime and people

should be punished. But more importantly is like, it was a blackmail operation. Totally. That's

what we want to know about. Who's blackmailing our politicians, right? And why? And why? Well, why?

So you run the country, right? But who's doing it? And so I really do feel like it's turned into

like we got to get the pedophiles, which I agree. Emotionally, that triggers me like, yeah,

it's fucking kill him. You know, it's hang him up straight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we just

hang him upside down for a month. Oh, that's cool. Because I think you would die after a month

hanging upside down, right? But yeah, you need water after a few days. And so, yeah, that would be

the move. But like, that's actually not the important part of the story. The important part is like,

who's blackmailing our people? And I just, I can't help but feel like

that's, I'm not a genius. People who work in new stations know that that's an important part

of the story, but they're not talking about it at all. No. It feels intentional.

I see what you're saying. I think the six-part really triggers people and emotionalizes people,

yes. Yes. Yeah. I mean, it got me for a little while. Me too. Me too. Well, nice. I still,

I still agree. Like, I still think I still, you know, me too. But do I feel as much? I feel for

the victims, yes, but as much where I'm losing sleep. I still want to know though. Oh, dude,

me too. Like, yeah. Yeah. Yes. But then also, also, why was there a blackmail island who's running

the blackmail island, you know, who's running the Diddy camp, you know, who's running the Diddy camp?

Yeah. All blackmail. Did you watch that Netflix? Should I? Yeah. I would check it out.

Okay. I'll check it out, man. All right. I'll check it out. Well, dude, that's episode 100.

I don't know about you. I don't know about you, but that was pretty good for not having the script.

I just talked for about an hour, but that's what makes us us. We never have a script.

At least we have clips, but right now we have this dead dude talking.

Yeah. I can't even remember his name. What's his name? Who cares?

He's the Fed Chair, but he's not that guy. He's out of here. He's going to jail because he didn't

learn how to do it. But he's going to die next year. Anyways. So old drum pal. He's so drunk.

He hired him, by the way, which is funny. Fuck, damn, Fouchy too. Oh, no, Fouchy was already there.

Do you hear about that? This is this is a disappointment. So they ran to Paul, say what you want,

whatever. I don't care. I ran Paul. He tried. I kind of like him. He tried. He he put forward

like a motion or like he's a lot. He's an ophthalmologist. That's right. But he put he put forward

like a package to indict Fouchy. And then we got the DOJ turned it down. Motherfucker.

Pam Bondy said, now we're not interested. No, not Pam. Yes. I like Pam. It's kind of a betrayal,

I would say. Yeah, dude. I mean, I know there's a lot of people would be happy about that,

because they don't think Fouchy should be prosecuted, but Fouchy is a devil man. Come on.

I do. I think I think people get to start opening up to the idea that they were played.

They will never accept it. Yeah, but I mean, I I supported Trump. I can admit I can admit we got

played. I wore the mask. I can also admit if what it felt like a lesser of two evil situation,

and maybe it was right. But now that it's happened, we can say, hey, what the fuck did? Yeah,

dude. Where's Fouchy anyway? Probably he's probably he's probably got another island that

mother. He's probably getting blown 12 ways to Sunday right now. By dude, some island off the

coast of Fiji. The fucking guy, dude. Oh, believe it. Oh, no, Pam Bondy. Hey, you better say

no to that shit. Yeah, right. Top top dollar, too. He has probably millions. Bastard. How

disappointed. Oh, yeah, he's the devil. He's their dude. There's a special place in hell for

him. Yeah, dude. For people like that, man, I'm amazing. I totally agree. Well, that was fun

for a hundred, a little pessimist, but I like it. I come up with a name for this cynical.

Something to do. I'll say a hundredth episode cynical century. Yeah. Oh, yes.

A hundredth episodes. A centennial or a sea.

Dude, but it's so true, dude, but keep your antenna up. There's money moving. Hey, listeners,

you know, you know, we're trying to make you money. You know, you could do a send us some clips.

You jerks. They're too busy with their lives, probably. What people send me is three hour

things. A link to a three hours. If you get a send us something, send us what you do for a living.

Yeah, I'd be curious about that. Tell me tell me what you do for where you spend your time in,

like, what do you think about, talk about? Who do you talk to? Send us an email at happy fool's

podcast. I want to know. Yes. Email is happy fool's podcast at gmail.com. All right, I'll

talk to you later. Dude, have a good night. That was fun.

I can't do it. Where's your record? Where's the record about it? There you go.
