1:07Rod Palmer Folks, welcome back to the Bugle Weekly. It is a stormy, snowy, cold environment across a lot of The US right now. It's a good opportunity to be at home inside with your family, monitoring the situation together.

1:26Rod Palmer All across the country, people are getting grumpy, and they're getting grumpier. This has been a growing theme. But what we're watching happen right now in Minnesota is a bunch of plebs are being cannon fodder for different factions of the Epstein client list,

1:44Rod Palmer and they are losing their minds. They are losing their they've watched their communities get destroyed over the last few years in in various ways through monetary inflation, through all sorts of things. But the line in the stand where the two factions of the Epstein client list are now battling each other is over the policies of deporting a bunch of Somali pirates

2:08Rod Palmer out of Minneapolis. That's where we're at as a country right now.

2:15Richard Greaser What do you think, Ron? Yeah. I was just saying, you know, families that monitor the situation together stay together. And that's so it's in one sense it's a glass half full type of situation but you're right like what's going on in Minneapolis is depending on your level

2:36Richard Greaser of monitoring the past few days, the past few weeks, past few years, it's more complex than it ultimately seems but at the end at the end of the day it's it's as simple as you stated. It boils down to the plants are in the streets

2:53Richard Greaser getting shot in the face with, cheery ass canisters, getting executed by ICE agents, being, you know, bleeding out to death on TikTok, and it's for what, right, like what is the ultimate goal what is the ultimate aim? So everybody's very mad on social media right now they're saying that the people who are cheering on the ICE agents are blue lickers,

3:18Richard Greaser they're glazing the feds and then the people who are taking the other side of this you are, you know, defending the ICEs are essentially saying like they're they're pro immigration policy, pro federal law,

3:37Richard Greaser anti communist, they're they're they want to get the Somali tyrants out, they want to get the immigrants who are pedophiles out, but it's it's it's just very unproductive.

3:52Richard Greaser Right now I think the most practical, rational thing you can do, any but any of us can do, is to let the leftists and the feds fight it out and just listen to Bitcoin podcast Stay up to moderate situation from a safe distance.

4:11Richard Greaser People are arguing they're saying that this this Alex Petty guy was executed for exercising his constitutional right to carry a firearm. Well, fundamentals in the group chat the other day he said it he's like if only constitutional rights blocked bullets,

4:28Richard Greaser and that's a good thing to remember, you may constitutionally, in hindsight, be vindicated but you're still dead. The constitution doesn't protect you from being dead. It might vindicate you later,

4:42Richard Greaser but don't go into a situation that's hostile. Don't go into any it doesn't matter through Minneapolis or not. If you encounter a group of wild retarded Libtard Karens blowing whistles surrounded by federal ICE agents with masks on beating a shit out of some fucking

5:04Richard Greaser Libtard. Whether you think that Libtard deserves it or not whether you think the ICE agent's good or not, do not go into that situation no matter what you think your constitution just extricate yourself go back pull it up on Twitter monitor it from a safe distance you don't want to be a part of this right now The tensions are high, and the constitution, your rights, whatever you think a piece of paper has

5:29Richard Greaser given you in terms of protection from certain actions of the state, it's not gonna protect you from getting fucking one shot at and bleeding out on TikTok. So just remember that.

5:42Rod Palmer Yeah. You're good. You know, people that are going and protesting, they're putting themselves in a precarious situation because they're I think what they're wanting to is to potentially, you know, be remembered and and have the angry, mob of of Karens defending them, defending their memory, defending their honor. But oftentimes, they don't. I mean, how many people have died and Mike Brock hasn't written an essay about them?

6:11Rod Palmer Quite a few. How many people have been put in prison? Mike Brock can't keep up with it. The attention span of the plebsloppers winding up all these plebs to go fight the feds

6:24Unknown is very low.

6:28Rod Palmer But, yeah, I mean, there there's tons of things that you can do right now. You know, whenever whenever they get super wound up like this on on either side, it's a it's an opportunity to show Bitcoin podcast. And, things like BitChat or Meshtastic or, you know,

6:47Rod Palmer just general pioneer type activities and and technologies. Like, you know, people are inside, they're cold, monitoring the situation right now. They they may be concerned that the the grid is gonna go under.

7:04Rod Palmer Here's your opportunity to explain to them how BitX has decentralized the Bitcoin network and can heat your homes and balance the grid.

7:15Richard Greaser Exactly. We talked about this earlier. Instead of complaining in in doom posting and seeing how it's the end of the world, talking about civil war solutions,

7:28Richard Greaser Explain why Bitcoin podcast and Bitcoin solves this. If you happen to find yourself surrounded by with Slinker and with Tars and ICE agents, take take the time to remind them that Bitcoin fixes us. Take the time to

7:46Richard Greaser remind them that this cold that we're experiencing could be fixed or mitigated by more people mining for Bitcoin. And I want to make something clear

7:58Richard Greaser we do make fun of the Libtartarians blowing their whistles we make fun of a lot of them we don't necessarily make fun of ICE quite as much but it is worth noting that the little Tartarians chasing ICE around with whistles are doing more to defend Somali pirates

8:17Richard Greaser and illegal immigrants committing crimes and like defrauding taxpayers than Bitcoiners are doing to defend the same rock dumps. If Bitcoiners were outside the Southern District Of New York,

8:33Richard Greaser if Bitcoiners were outside these courthouses surrounding them, blowing feds, blowing whistles, screaming at them, calling them Nazis for for imprisoning people who were just laundering money for the CIA. Again, should be defend that's their constitutional right in a democracy.

8:54Richard Greaser Maybe the samurai devs would be free right now, but it's so so instead of blaming these libertarians, at least the libertarians are doing something

9:06Unknown that

9:09Richard Greaser at least they believe furthers their beliefs in what the government should be and what the government should be doing. Bitcoiners don't seem to be doing much of anything except for complaining about silver prices.

9:21Rod Palmer Yeah. I don't think the tactics, that the Libtart Karens are using are are gonna be very advantageous for the the Bitcoin people because they're just not, like, just getting the plebs to be cannon fodder in general doesn't really accomplish anything, when you're kind of an actual dissident movement. It it only accomplishes anything productive

9:46Rod Palmer if you are the Epstein client list because you're just trying to steer the the cannon fodder in a certain way. The the purpose of the cannon fodder is for them to direct them to go fight with the cops so that the cops shoot them, and then they have more Plebs Law op dispute to get the plebs even more mad. It's kind of this, the cycle of you you send the cannon fodder off into battle

10:13Rod Palmer to get slaughtered, and then, you broadcast their, you know, executions or, you know, slaughtering on the social media platforms to get more plebs, more wound up to support your side of the your faction in the Epstein West. Now if you're if you're a dissident, you can behave in a, you know, a different way of knowing that you just you don't have the mainstream pepslop apparatus on your side

10:42Rod Palmer to have your back, and there there's different ways that you can, respond, different ways that you can act that that is productive. You can make noise, but, you know, going and whistling at the feds with, you know,

11:03Rod Palmer referee whistles is not gonna really accomplish a whole lot. Bitcoin podcasting is a great way to do it, and I think we've seen a lot of energy around Bitcoin podcast

11:20Rod Palmer die off. And if there there has ever been a time in human history where Bitcoin is an interesting technology, in my opinion, it's the first turning.

11:34Richard Greaser Absolutely. Now just for some breaking news here, senator Amy Klonichar has announced that ICE agents in Minnesota outnumber Minneapolis and Saint Paul police, And Mike Brock

11:51Richard Greaser has retweeted us and he is saying, serious question, can police departments from friendly cities across the country send help? Surely they could be deputized by some legal mechanism to help our American brothers and sisters in Minneapolis. So Donald Trump is sending

12:10Richard Greaser in deploying more ICEAs to Minneapolis. In fact so many that they outnumber the police and Mike Brock's solution to this is to deputize more police from other departments across the country to send them to house. So he wants all the the the sheriff's deputies, local police departments

12:30Richard Greaser to deploy their their their costs to Minneapolis to fight the ICE agents to fight the feds. Is this is this a is this how you envisioned the Civil War two point o to play out?

12:48Rod Palmer Pretty much.

12:50Richard Greaser The feds versus the local local police. I guess I guess that is kind of how it will probably play out, national guard and the local police versus federal agents and marines. Now I've seen some of

13:07Richard Greaser the the images of the National Guard being deployed to Washington, DC and some of these other cities. Those guys are not in shape. The National Guard is not in shape. These guys have towel bellies bigger than Jack Crews. Alright? And the ICE agents aren't that in shape either. The Marines are in shape.

13:29Richard Greaser If the Marines heal in, who knows what happens?

13:35Rod Palmer I think there's, like, a worst case scenario if you send Marines in. Because, like, your your average Marine is a pretty, you know, mid to low IQ individual.

13:47Richard Greaser Marines are dumber than Plebs. Just put it just put it frankly. Marines are dumber than Plebs, and that's saying a lot.

13:55Rod Palmer Well, they they just wanna kill shit. You know what I mean? They're, like, low IQ, wanna like, they're not a good use of, security. If you join the marines, you're you're joining the branch of the military knowing that you are cannon fodder. Like, that that is your role. That's what the that branch is. And so when you when you put up put the, the angry, aggressive cannon fodder into a situation with the civilians,

14:25Rod Palmer it it could really create a bad situation. Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, it's it'll be interesting to watch the development of all these different factions within the, you know, bureaucratic, ruling classes, enforcers, and and where they side, I think. I would imagine

14:45Rod Palmer the military, broadly speaking, as far as, you know, the lower levels, enlisted men are probably fans of Donald Trump and, you know, the the more bureaucratic side of it is probably pretty split.

15:04Rod Palmer As far as law enforcement, I don't know. I mean, I imagine that they likely like, the people holding the guns are probably gonna like Trump. So it is just gonna be interesting to see how this

15:21Rod Palmer plays out because we we saw stories about ICE agents defecting from the Minneapolis police to join ICE,

15:31Rod Palmer essentially, or police officers from the Minneapolis police. So you're probably gonna see these defactions. So, essentially, what it is ultimately is a bunch of, you know, angry plebs fighting and and bureaucrats fighting, the federal agents. And all at the same time, it it's looking like the,

15:54Rod Palmer there's gonna be a government shutdown, which is gonna piss off the bureaucrats even more.

15:59Richard Greaser Yeah. And whether it's ICE agents, federal agents, who are especially marine state, or shoot first, listen to podcasts later, they are not digesting signal and using it to make informed decisions, they are reactionaries, they are out there

16:19Richard Greaser shooting at threats, reacting to threats and risks, it'll be blamed. And I think I saw this I saw this video on is either TikTok or Instagram earlier and it was this user this guy was saying wait it seemed kind of controversial or incendiary at first he's like I don't care I don't care about this I do not care about what's going on in Minneapolis and then he went on to to, clarify that this this empathy

16:48Richard Greaser fatigue, this you have to care about each of these situations you monitor, you can't just monitor them thought like, mindful with mindfulness and just take it in and observe is an ego thing and people have an ego and they think that their opinion on this kind of stuff matters and it doesn't. Right now, I think the most

17:10Richard Greaser important perspective, and maybe you disagree or agree, is that this is the culmination of a lot of politics, corruption,

17:22Richard Greaser Epstein client list type stuff, fraud, like all bad immigration policy, terrible Republican policy, terrible Democrat policy it's all culminating. And one side is gonna win and one side is gonna lose and it I couldn't be wrong but it feels like the feds as they are currently,

17:46Richard Greaser mobilized and structurally, like, politically, ideologically aligned are going to win this because when you when you look at Minneapolis,

17:56Richard Greaser it is like, the guy that got shot. Right? If you people aren't pointing this out. This isn't an original observation. When you look behind him and, like, where he was at on the street, the storefronts, it looked like kinda like a third world storefront and it was people were zooming in you could see that was like he this happened out front of a smallie daycare some sort of like Medicaid

18:19Richard Greaser home hospice care fraud building, like, UK Kyle Rittenhouse couldn't shoot a bullet in any direction without hitting a pedophile in in Wisconsin during those,

18:32Richard Greaser those riots. You can't film an ICE execution without seeing some sort of Somali day care fraud or Medicare fraud and if you think back to 2020

18:45Richard Greaser when the, these people burned down and rioted and destroyed Minneapolis All of the productive pioneers have left Minneapolis. All of the entrepreneurs have left Minneapolis,

18:58Richard Greaser at least the parts that are run by retarded plebs. There is no there's very little true productive entrepreneurial economic activity

19:11Richard Greaser taking place in Minneapolis or has been replaced by Medicare fraud, welfare fraud, daycare fraud, other sorts of fraud and it is seems likely that this has all been

19:27Richard Greaser facilitated and enabled by the Minneapolis City government, Mayor Jacob Frey, by Tim Walz, by the retards basically running the state. And this is happening everywhere, but Minneapolis is a microcosm and it it is the the situation we're all monitoring now. And the guy that got shot, he was a union member, a government union member, and these people who are rioting, they are and many of them is not their fault. They are just stuck in a shitty situation. They're stupid retarded kin and par palettes. They didn't know. They don't they just didn't have the time or the wherewithal to figure out what's going on, but they are benefiting

20:03Richard Greaser from this hun either I think the the the amount of federal funds, the state spending that goes on in Minneapolis and their GDP is somewhere in the 300,000,000,000 range, but state spending in federal income is like a 130,000,000,000 per year. So a third of this $315,000,000,000 GDP budget whatever of Minneapolis is

20:28Richard Greaser essentially just fraud of some sort. And if you really wanna argue it, yes, all government spending is fraud, but it's like very, very un, they're not even trying to hide it here in Minneapolis. So these people, their funding, their livelihoods are coming from these frauds and the government if the government pulls it, cut it off, they end it, and they send in federal agents. Back to my original point, it seems like that federal

21:00Richard Greaser enforcement is going to win. Whether you love the feds, hate the feds, you're libertarian, liberal, democrat, progressive,

21:09Unknown understand that like

21:11Richard Greaser like a like a tsunami, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's happening. You can either get out of the way or you can fight it and if you want to fight it that is your right you have a constitutional right but like I said earlier constitutional rights don't protect you from getting slimed by Feds. So just think about it before you

21:32Richard Greaser decide to intervene.

21:34Unknown Yeah, I mean, I think

21:37Rod Palmer anybody that has been paying attention in monitoring the situation will be concerned and frustrated about the tactics the feds are using, about the surveillance, about all the shit that's going on.

21:53Rod Palmer But, you know, at the end of the day, when you look at the cannon fodder that is, you know, mobilized and upset right now, they are essentially fighting on behalf of this wide scale fraud that's happening, and it's just hard to

22:11Rod Palmer really sympathize with that at the end of the day, while you can sympathize with with all the rest of, the stuff that that is drastically concerning. But, yeah, I mean, it's just I think it's important for people, you know, when they get upset, to think a little bit more critically about what they're willing to be canon fodder for.

22:38Rod Palmer It's, like, are you actually representing your interests or are you just, you know, fighting on behalf of, people like Tim Walz to just keep on laundering money?

22:52Richard Greaser Right. Everybody was obsessed in with a brief respite in the chaos of, all the Minneapolis footage was the the in last week was the meme of the pangolin,

23:05Richard Greaser and the penguin separates himself from the colony and he runs straight to the mountains. He runs straight to what the observers believe is certain death and the question is but why?

23:21Richard Greaser And the Penguin is you know it's been memed that he's going he's chasing after something so much bigger than himself he's going to conquer these problems that will surely overwhelm him but he will die trying and everybody

23:39Richard Greaser and the others identifies themselves or the people who do identify with the penguin running off into the mountains they see themselves and we've talked about this in recent podcasts that they see themselves as heroes going to cock or something and these Lindtard Cairns with their whistles they think that they're the penguin.

23:59Richard Greaser These Lin Tard Karens are running in, and these these guys are running in to go Leroy Jenkins on federal agents, and they're getting killed. And they feel that they're doing it for a worthy cause.

24:14Richard Greaser And these the the right wingers who are they're doing the same things in in these circumstances. Some of these ice ages are going into this certain chaos and they think they're fighting for the right cause. And your choices for being a hero in the first turning, you don't have to choose between being a Karen with a whistle or a fed with his mask.

24:37Richard Greaser You can go your own way. That is what the penguin really is. The penguin is going a different way. He's going away from Minneapolis, away from the Karens, away from the whistles, away from the feds, and he's doing something better. It's not trying to make a name for yourself

24:55Richard Greaser on TikTok, fighting federal agents for corruption, or fighting corruption for the for the Epstein client list. It's there there isn't it's not a binary choice.

25:09Rod Palmer Yeah. I think the real solution in all of this and the protest at the end of day that is productive is dropping out. The more you drop out from it, like, that that is what the penguin's doing. He's dropping out from old bullshit. Yeah.

25:29Richard Greaser Not everybody doesn't mean going by yourself alone. You can drop out with your family. You can drop out with your group chat. You you can encourage others to come with you to the mountains even if most people stay behind. You don't have to be isolated, you don't have to be alone, literally be alone.

25:51Richard Greaser But it will feel lonely. You were going to it's most people are not coming with you on the most people are not built to be pioneers. The little house on the prairie, the, you know, Laura Ingalls Wilder, all the little sisters, and the dad, and and those are pioneers, it's not you don't have to go by yourself, but it will be a lonely, isolating experience at times because the crowd is not coming with you.

26:19Rod Palmer You're gonna be living a lifestyle that is very hard for the angry pleb can of thought are to understand because they are so wrapped into it. One of the consistent

26:33Rod Palmer things that you're gonna see is these social pressures of of people yelling that if you're not with them, then you're against them, trying to push you know, we we've seen this over and over again. It it has been rhetoric that has been used a lot in the in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It's it's really kind of foreturning type rhetoric. Like, these people are in the past, and it's the first turning. And you shouldn't be stuck in the the fourth turning with everybody else being grumpy and angry, it's time to, you know, leave them behind

27:08Rod Palmer and start building for yourself.

27:11Richard Greaser You have to be prepared, They're gonna call the penguin a Nazi. Just because not because the penguin has aligned himself with ice, but because the pain your indifference to their cause

27:27Richard Greaser will make them label you a Nazi, and, the fans will call the penguin a communist. But you don't just because somebody calls you a Nazi or calls you a communist, you have to know

27:43Richard Greaser in your in your soul, in yourself, you have to believe in yourself and know that just because people are calling you a Nazi or communist does not make it so.

27:53Rod Palmer Yep. Yeah. You're you're gonna be placed in scenarios where there's not really a way to win as far as gaining anybody's acceptance. Because the the plug cannon fodder is literally the way that the information channels and the social pressures are constructed are to make your life as difficult as possible because they don't want people dropping out from the system. They want them engaged as much as possible fighting each other. You see these individuals that,

28:27Rod Palmer badger Bitcoin podcasters calling them controlled opposition for not wanting to participate in the system. Like, Like, you see this over and over again. It's like, okay. You're controlled opposition because you don't have a preference on which side of the Epstein list you wanna support. That really make sense?

28:45Unknown Right. Seems like how you

28:49Rod Palmer are in opposition? You'd

28:52Unknown you know?

28:54Richard Greaser Because you don't have to you you not have to pick sides on the Epstein client list. If both sides were on the Epstein client list, you're just if if a leftist accuses you of being a Nazi, you just tell them I'm non binary.

29:12Richard Greaser I am not either side of the the Epstein clientless spectrum. I am outside of that. I am a pioneer. I'm on my own frontier. I do not conform to your Epstein clientless norms.

29:28Rod Palmer Yeah. I I guess it'd be kind of fun to or a good practice to role play the proper responses to people when they when they call you names, that don't actually I I think when you get called a Nazi by a leftist, you need to immediately respond and tell them that they,

29:52Rod Palmer misused, the incorrect, political pronouns for you, then, what do you what do you tell the the person on the right? You call them unpatriotic or something?

30:07Richard Greaser I don't know. I I think we're still trying to figure out how to distance yourself from the communist living towards without, oh, you know, by default aligning yourself with the feds.

30:25Richard Greaser And that is that's that's gonna be an issue. It's like, how do you what do you say to them? Because they don't they'll just call you a retard, and I people do not like being called a retard.

30:39Rod Palmer People don't call us retards very often.

30:43Richard Greaser Well, it's like here's a good example is Thomas Massie. Thomas Massie is the one of the only people in Congress who has basically washed his hand like, I'm not going on either side of the Epstein client list. And he takes a lot of heat for it.

31:03Richard Greaser But here's the thing, like, saying that this is all distraction from the Epstein list or calling somebody a pedo protector, like, that's it doesn't have any punch anymore. It's like it's kind of a cop out so that, like, we need a better a better way to describe to the right. No. I'm not I'm not participating

31:27Richard Greaser in your in your ICE raids or like your your fed glazing party. I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not joining your fed glazing group, Chad.

31:38Rod Palmer I think, you know, one of the more most simple things that you say to somebody on the right is you just point out that that Donald Trump has more pictures with Epstein than you probably have with your own father. Unless you took a lot of pictures with your father.

31:55Richard Greaser I don't Which a lot It's a lot of go ahead.

31:57Unknown That's a hard one. Or or

31:60Richard Greaser or point out, like, we like we did earlier, like, these Libtard Charans are doing more to fight for their, quote, unquote, allies that they I mean, the Mozart Karens are doing more than putting a hashtag freeze samurai in their Twitter profile. They're out there whistling. They're out there blowing the whistle on Fed overreach, Fed corruption,

32:23Richard Greaser Fed constitutional violations. What are what is it what is anybody who diss who's a dissident on the Reich dealing?

32:32Rod Palmer The Probably posting memes about yeah. Probably posting memes about how you gotta pay your taxes and or hate the Jews and, what else? So is the right That's what they say. Gun at this point? Did they did they flip flop

32:50Richard Greaser officially? I know. They they they basically saying that, if you bring me a gun to, you know, a protest, then you've you deserve to be shot. I it seems like the left, at least this weekend, is more pro gun than the right.

33:12Rod Palmer I think that the the right stance is that the, the tree of liberty should only be watered with the blood of Democrats.

33:20Richard Greaser Yeah, that's probably that pretty that sums it up pretty well. The Second Amendment applies to you if you voted for, you know, Republicans. The second amendment applies if you're a registered Republican. If you're not a registered Republican, the second amendment, simply,

33:42Richard Greaser it it not only do you not have that protection, but, like, you should be shot, killed if you have a gun.

33:49Unknown Yeah.

33:52Richard Greaser But to shift a little bit, although still on the same topic is, like, I don't know if you've seen the if you wanna call it effect, I guess these are not very effective, but it is a resistance is building up in Minneapolis, and it is the result of

34:11Richard Greaser the group chat. There is a signal group chat that is, seems to be run by top level officials in the Wallace administration both of the people who were actually killed by ICE in the past two weeks were members of this group chat and they're going around coordinating within the signal group chat,

34:34Richard Greaser to follow ICE around to track their their travel, their movements, their activities, to alert people into certain situations that ICE is coming their way. So this is this is another example of group chats really rising to prominence and being very critical to the first turning.

35:01Rod Palmer Yeah. Makes sense. I mean, the, the group chats are always the front line of freedom in the world. And, this is something that Cypherpunks well, the Cypherpunks are really on this. You know, talking about the the importance of private and and free communication

35:20Rod Palmer methods. And, I think sometimes people forget about that because they're they're so hyper focused on, you know, sending, lightning micropayments that they need to pay capital gains tax on.

35:35Richard Greaser This is also a good reminder that being deliberate and careful about who you enter your group chats is extremely important because signal is, a pretty secure

35:51Richard Greaser herd chat technology, but it's only as secure as The mods. The the the cryptography of the mods, right? Like, so if you let in too many people, if your group chat is too large, or you properly vet the participants, be able to trust these participants, then they can just take screenshots

36:12Richard Greaser and expose everything, all that cryptography goes out the window, you have a mold with the group chat.

36:18Rod Palmer Yeah, I guess it depends on what type of information is being discussed in the group chat to what level of ops like you need to go, because there is a very real concern. I mean, one of the things I've been looking a lot in the past week, I guess I've been a little bit behind the curve on this, is Erica Kirk. It's like, what if you're a base plaid that ends up marrying an intelligence asset and so you you spend all this time built in all this social capital

36:46Rod Palmer with pioneers sitting up in a in a group chat and then, your wife, Erica, you know, who's gonna be twerking on your grave here in the future, is screenshotting all your messages and sending it to her fed friend.

37:02Unknown There's a lot of levels to OPSEC that you you can think about if you want to.

37:09Richard Greaser Yeah. And even before we even outside the crew chat contacts, it's like there are plebs out there who practice extremely strong privacy OPSEC, they they use a NIM, these VPNs, they never buy KYC, Bitcoin, they never wear a Bitcoin podcast t shirt in public to let people know that they're a Bitcoiner, but

37:30Richard Greaser they constantly try to orange peel or make their wife listen to podcasts and she goes to work and she tells all her friends oh my husband he's obsessed with Bitcoin and all the ladies at work they use gab, gab, gab and gossip the next thing you know everybody knows that you're a Bitcoiner in your community even though you practice even though you only use non KYC peer to peer technology to buy Bitcoin, you never expose yourself on podcasts or on the internet, but your wife knows you're a Bitcoiner, she tells everybody.

37:59Rod Palmer Yeah, I mean, one of the things, you know, with with the ongoing, tensions being raised, you know, Donald Trump keeps on doing people a big disaver or dis, disservice by continuing to tweet about crypto.

38:18Rod Palmer He keeps on saying over and over again that The US is becoming the, the world capital for for crypto. At the time, you know, he's sending his fed cannon fodder to go fight with the the limtar whistleblower cannon fodder. And so what what that is inevitably doing, and I think a lot of people have been predicting this, and, you know, Mike Brock has been at the forefront of this trying to create this tension, this ideological

38:44Rod Palmer divide between the left and right on Bitcoin and Bitcoin podcasters.

38:52Richard Greaser Well, not only that, Donald Trump is promising or signaling that, Bitcoin transactions will be nontaxable.

39:04Richard Greaser So now flights are coming out and they're spending their Bitcoin, and they're creating all these taxable events. And Donald Trump like many other things does not come through on this promise to make Bitcoin transactions not taxable well then these plebs are going to find themselves situations where the IRS is going to be knocking down their door and telling the IRS

39:26Richard Greaser that you posted memes in support of ICE throughout this whole Minneapolis ordeal is not going to protect you from ICE or from IRS agents who were there to collect their tax money because they need to fund these operations to distract people from the Epstein client list.

39:49Rod Palmer Well this is, I think, where the ideological divide of the bureaucrat class, the military, you know, and all these different factions of government gets really interesting. Because when you when you think about the individuals working at the IRS,

40:07Rod Palmer they tend to be more on the side of, big government bureaucratic class. Donald Trump has gone in and has, has,

40:22Rod Palmer pissed them all off, right, by threatening to fire them. And, you know, the the left has blamed him and his administration for the government shutdowns where they were, going with paychecks for an extended period of time, and they were really angry. Supposing that that pro ice meme might actually get you in more scrutiny

40:48Rod Palmer in this scenario, and there is a risk of being ideologically targeted by these different bureaucratic agencies.

40:59Richard Greaser So back to my point about one of these sides is going to win. I think it seems like the federal and not just like Trump and ICE, but like the this general federal movement against the states that are in non compliance or whatever you want to call it, they're going to win. So the problem is there's a lot of people who

41:23Richard Greaser they've got these like utopian visions of well if ICE wins and we go back to the 1980s or the 1970s and it's a white society and that's what I want blah blah blah and the less has this I don't know what the less vision of victory is but either side wins we either have a like communist dystopia or a fascist like Palantir, everything is surveilled, surveillance state, police state, some people like that idea.

41:50Richard Greaser I think most of our listeners don't like either of those ideas. So you have to start preparing for what comes next. The first churning is not all, you know, roses and

42:04Richard Greaser and and greatness for everybody. Right? The first turning is about rebuilding institutions and conformity. So conformity either means everybody's wearing the same clothes like

42:18Richard Greaser like the like in North Korea where everybody looks alike and they were all wearing their potato farmer sacks or everybody's blending in and like this new like wearing seats everybody's gotta wear seats again, everybody's wearing seats and ties like in the 1940s and 50s What comes next? What does the first turning look like? And thinking of the first turning is a utopia just because you're a psych quote unquote one I think that's a mistake too. I think looking at the first journey as an opportunity to build and an opportunity

42:49Richard Greaser to to do things the right way is one perspective on it, but it's also it's not going to be all all it's not gonna be everything you wish it would be. It's not gonna be a utopia. So how do you prepare for some of the characteristics, some of the features of the first turning, which, like I said, is

43:09Richard Greaser rebuilding and conformity.

43:13Rod Palmer There's a lot of individuals that have been preparing for this for a long time. You know, millennials are tend to be into these trends. Right? They they tend to do things that are, you know, slightly uncomfortable or are uncomfortable just for the sake of it, like the novelty of it. Like, the Wim Hof method was really popular, taking cold showers, cold plunges, you know, all sorts of weird fitness routines,

43:42Rod Palmer diets, fasting, all sorts of stuff. All the unnecessary pain that they were

43:51Rod Palmer producing or putting themselves through, in order to, you know, follow whatever the trend was has really prepared them. If if you have those Wim Hof breathing methods down, you are gonna be way better prepared

44:07Rod Palmer for the pain and for the struggle in the first turning.

44:12Richard Greaser Listening to forty hours per week, again, how you succeed in the first turning, it's how you succeeded in the fourth turning, but it's never too late to to get on the right path. Well Gold breaking news, gold has hit $5,000 for the first time in history.

44:30Rod Palmer I think Marty Bent has already, capitulated and is starting to podcast about gold and silver.

44:37Richard Greaser Marty is he's embracing, he Marty's his age, he seems like an older millennial, but in his heart and his spirit he's a bimmer, and he is going he is the penguin running towards the Golden Mountain.

44:54Rod Palmer One one thing I wanted to kinda end on and and discuss before rolling into the fountain boost is, Mechanic seems to be calling us the mainstream media now. That's his new tactic.

45:11Richard Greaser That's a suspicious glaze. Mechanic seems to be trying to to glaze us in an underhanded way.

45:18Rod Palmer Yeah. What do you think that's about?

45:23Richard Greaser I think he's trying to, portray the bugle alongside or in the context of, like, the mainstream media because he knows the plebs don't trust, you know, mainstream media and he doesn't want the plebs to trust the bugle.

45:39Richard Greaser But that's a mistake because that we don't want the plebs to trust the bugle. We don't want the plebs to trust us. The mechanic wants the plebs to trust him. And I think that you can put it very simply is some influencer on the Internet who wants you to trust them is

45:60Richard Greaser usually trying to scam you. We don't want you to trust us. We want you to think critically, and we want you to think for yourself. We're simply giving you the news. We don't want you to trust us, we just want you to be informed. And if you if we are telling you not to trust us, only to you think for yourself and consume as many perspectives and news and and ideas as possible,

46:24Richard Greaser you won't be scammed by us at the end of the day. Whereas somebody who wants you to trust them, you may end up getting scammed.

46:33Rod Palmer Yeah. It's a it's an interesting tactic a lot of people have used through it throughout the years, It's very Alex Jones. It's it's pretty funny watching Alex Jones because Alex Jones is fully on the side of the feds these days. But,

46:52Rod Palmer you know, Alex would constantly undermine any sort of trust in other media outlets and then proceed to,

47:03Rod Palmer spew a bunch of slop because he wanted the pledge to trust him. It's a very it's a very similar tactic that has been used over and over and over again. It just you you take advantage of people feeling disenfranchised in some way, And you don't you don't have to justify anything that you're saying as being true or provide any proof for it. You just say, they're lying to you,

47:32Rod Palmer so therefore, I'm not, And I'm right. And that that typically is a pretty effective, strategy for corralling and convincing clubs.

47:44Richard Greaser Right. Mechanic wants to corral you. We don't wanna corral you.

47:51Rod Palmer No. We're trying to convince people to stop allowing themselves to be corralled. We're trying to find as many people out of the corral as possible.

48:06Richard Greaser I think that was all Denise said about mechanic is just look at the incentives, look at the, motives of us versus mechanic. Decide for your I don't care if you like us. I don't I I we want on you. If you hate us, we want you to send us email. We want you to send us grumpy hate hate mail. We want you to tell us how much you dislike us. And guess what? We won't block you. We're not fighting for your glaze.

48:33Rod Palmer Have you have you seen a Predix market yet on, who's gonna win the, the, pedophilic civil war?

48:41Richard Greaser I haven't seen that yet, but did we probably need to create a prednis market for that.

48:47Rod Palmer Well, I think this week three of thinking that, The US is gonna invade Iran, and they haven't yet. Still could happen tonight. We're recording Sunday afternoon, but it's looking unlikely at this point that it'll happen until next weekend.

49:07Rod Palmer But who knows? You got any thoughts or predictions on, just the the general geopolitical situation before we go into Phantom Boost?

49:21Richard Greaser It's hard to know what's going on with Iran because they've cut out the Internet. They've taken out the terminals for Starlink, but I've seen reports that the regime has slaughtered over 40,000 people, maybe as much as 80,000 people.

49:36Richard Greaser No confirm confirmations on that I've seen pictures of body bags but I haven't seen pictures of or any video coming out I guess when the Internet does come back on we will have some video that leaks out to see what's been going on, but they did send Trump said he's sending an armada there, they've been sending a lot of cargo planes to the Middle East, I think of their

50:01Richard Greaser my guess, my speculation is that they are prepared for Iran to basically fight to the death and, like, all, if they have a nuclear missile, a nuclear rocket to use it potentially

50:16Richard Greaser and they're trying to set up and be as prepared as possible to use the discombobulators or whatever where there's been reports that we got energy weapons, lasers to shoot out missiles and take that stuff down They're trying to make sure that they, Iran doesn't nuke Israel or Saudi Arabia or one of our bases, I don't know. But I think that

50:40Richard Greaser if the Iranian regime is weak, that that that Trump is is looking to neutralize it. So I think, you know, I think by the end of the year was my prediction on Iran falling, so we've got we're still we're still in January, so I think there's plenty of time. Lower your time preference if that's your, if that's your call.

51:01Rod Palmer Yeah. It'll probably happen eventually, but we'll see. It's hard to predict. The fog of war is

51:11Unknown foggy, to say the least.

51:14Rod Palmer Well, going into the found boost, folks, thank you for, boosting the show. This is really, I think, our one of our only, sources of income. Thank you for the cigarette money. First boost from late stage Huddl, 6,006 at. So if Scott Horton is denaturalized

51:36Rod Palmer and Scott Horton Show is a part of my 40 HPW, does that mean ice is coming to deglaze the next?

51:48Richard Greaser To deglaze me next? First of all, at least a time, it's been a while. Nice to see you back in the booths. I I don't know if we talked about Scott. I don't know who Scott Orton is. Sounds like a podcast. If they're kicking,

52:04Richard Greaser if they're kicking him out, ICE might be coming to Deglase next. He nobody knows who's ICE or the feds are coming to deglaze next. That is why you shouldn't glaze them because they they're like Indian glaze. We're just

52:23Richard Greaser they'll take that their glaze. They don't care if you glaze them in the past, they if they don't like you, it's over for you, so just do not let your guard down when it comes to the Fed.

52:33Rod Palmer Scott Horton is, he's one of the bigger libertarian podcasters, he's written a couple good books, like Enough Already. He runs the antiwar.com. Yeah. Could could be a target, to be denaturalized. Are you next late stage huddle? I don't know. I mean, I I think you live in a region. I'd I'd be more worried

52:59Rod Palmer right now instead of the the feds, you know, the the roving factions of of people wound up on behalf of, the different factions of the pedophilic ruling class. That's what I'd be a little bit more worried about right now. But that could change in the

53:21Richard Greaser future. If there's anything Karens do not like, if it's anything women are and wives do not like, it's from governable misfits, they wanna they think I can govern them. I could fix these misfits. I can make them compliant husbands. Be careful so be wary of that. Be wary of everyone. Be suspicious of everyone. Wait. Stay chaudal. This one is from Bubba. 2,112

53:45Richard Greaser sats. I got nothing and I got too many sats, so here you go. No way you can have too many sats, Bubba, but thank you for your donation, for your boost.

53:57Rod Palmer I was listening to their their last episode of the two Angry Cuts podcast, and they were talking all about sports ball in the beginning.

54:05Richard Greaser Oh, yeah. Yeah. They were in Bubba was reading about the Broncos. He's a big Broncos fan. Broncos are playing right now against the Patriots in the snow. So if you're a sports ball guy, Bubba is your Broncos fan. If you hate the Broncos, turn all of your sports ball anger at him.

54:25Unknown Do people hate the Broncos?

54:29Richard Greaser People in the AFC West who like other teams don't seem to like the Broncos too much. Interesting. And the Patriots are playing the Broncos today, so they're not fans.

54:38Rod Palmer I know a lot of people don't like the Patriots.

54:42Richard Greaser Yeah. The Patriots have a big history of winning. The Broncos haven't done that good in a while.

54:47Rod Palmer Thanks for the boost, Bubba. Next boost from Sasha, 2,100 says, great show. Thanks. You're welcome, Sasha. Thank you. She keeps on texting me, pictures of, like, her smoking cigarettes and stuff. So that's cool. Hell yeah.

55:04Richard Greaser User 22906681500Sats. I was once deaf, but Bitcoin podcasts cured my hearing. That's a beautiful story.

55:18Richard Greaser Beautiful metaphor.

55:20Rod Palmer Shadrach, 939 sats, says so good first turning vibes are high. Absolutely.

55:29Richard Greaser How are you? 500 sass with Swearsjar. What a great floor turning. We grew as a family and made it out okay. I even taught my kids how to kill squirtles with a rock, slaying at 20 yards. Don't return those freeze dryers yet, little boys. It's time to get ready for the next four turning. 2112 year, here we come.

55:53Richard Greaser Yeah. That's a that's a good point. A lot of people think that aging is going to be solved, a lot of us are in the live, so this might not be our last we might not have survived our last four turning, we might be around for the next one. So you gotta be prepared for that, blesses learned, build strong, group chats, good foundations in the first turning, and hopefully that some of them that we build will outlast the next eighty to one hundred years.

56:18Rod Palmer Yeah. Brian Johnson thinks that, you can live forever if you sleep a lot. And, I think based on his line of thinking, the the situation monitors are gonna have some of the shortest lifespans. You know, he's always out there chastising people who are sleeping in bed with their phones, monitoring the situation all night. Final boost from PTC on board.

56:43Rod Palmer A 100 sats. Three thumbs up. Thank you, guys. Folks, we're gonna be here. We're gonna be monitoring the situation, this whole first turn in. It's getting a little bit, rowdy,

56:58Rod Palmer and, I think it's just gonna continue to stay rowdy. Going into the spring, it's gonna get rowdier. So hold on to your hat, buckle up your seat belt, enjoy the ride. Gold is ripping. Bitcoin is not doing anything interesting. But there are situations popping up left and right to monitor, so no reason to be

57:22Unknown It's We don't choose it. We just arrived. This many voices,

58:10Unknown this much noise of meaning cracks under all that weight. We smooth the edges, call it fame. It's Slob Corporate smiles, faith in lights, heavy on searching
