0:04Rod Palmer If you still haven't pivoted to AI and your thesis about Bitcoin hasn't changed, you must be pretty bold. People who are still listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week in October 2026 aren't just rolling the dice anymore. They're making a bold statement. They're letting everyone else know their time is valuable and they don't have time to waste vibe coding plebs slop honey pots or listening to doomer kayfabe. Big Bitcoin's real plebs is a prestigious initiative designed for mission driven Bitcoiners who are bold enough to wanna elevate their influence within the Bitcoin community. Real Plebs is more than a title. It's a commitment to propelling the narrative of Bitcoin

0:39Rod Palmer in line with Big Bitcoin's mission to unprecedented heights. Are you bold? Then come be bold and be in control with big Bitcoin.

0:53Richard Greaser Folks, welcome back to another edition of the Bugle Weekly. And we're starting to see a rise of cancel culture again. In the last election, it seemed like cancel culture was over. The war had been won. The woes had been defeated. It was totally okay to call people gay and retarded again. But the winners

1:16Richard Greaser in the victory did not do anything. They did not create a compelling replacement of culture. They did not take over the institutions. Netflix

1:29Richard Greaser still remained massive player in the media industry trying to, replace all our favorite white characters of the past with black women, trying to turn your children into transgender, trying to teach kids that they shouldn't have any respect for their parents. And

1:48Richard Greaser because there was no clear victor in the culture wars, It is rearing its ugly head. It seems like, to me, revolution is on the horizon

2:02Richard Greaser as the broccoli haircuts are increasingly frustrated that they can't afford a home, let alone the next GTA game that's about to come out. They're looking at a future in which they don't really see a lot of hope besides sports gambling. And so they're playing Calshi,

2:21Richard Greaser they're betting on sportsball on Calshi, they're betting on just about everything in order to try and have a better future, and they are failing to win. And as cancel culture rears its ugly head, it... I am wondering if that is the one thing that has the power

2:41Richard Greaser to unite the plabs and keep them from crashing out too hard. They crash out at each other. They crash out together. It brings back unity to this great nation.

2:52Rod Palmer Nah. Nah. Yeah. He actually nailed it. In 2024, we we brought back, you could say, slurs. There's... We thought cancel culture was done. People were acting on the timeline, on x especially, on podcast. Like,

3:08Rod Palmer you could never be canceled again. Like, you could say whatever you wanted. You could never be canceled again. But they, like, they didn't they didn't replace the kayfabe. They didn't, like, hey, you're right. Like, Netflix was a part of this. I mean, hell, The Odyssey... We had, you know, trans Spartans in The Odyssey. And it's just like a never ending deluge.

3:30Rod Palmer It's you no longer have to use people's pronouns, but you still have to hear other people use pronouns. You didn't get rid of the retarded. You just got everybody being able to say retarded. It's like everybody's running around like shinobi now, but not... Nobody's fixing anything. And

3:49Rod Palmer now it's it's coming back. It... It's just like a a swinging pendulum of who has the most momentum. And if, you know, you thought you made it through the, you know, woke one point o, and you didn't get canceled, you didn't get fired, and now you you've launched a podcast or a new Twitter account, you doxed yourself, you you started using slurs on LinkedIn. But now that you've just given them ammo to come with, like, swinging through again with with more cancel culture, and it's it's...

4:20Rod Palmer The real reason it happened is because the right got power and and they used cancel culture to their favor. The Republicans tried to try to cancel people for celebrating Charlie Kirk and posting disrespectful Charlie Kirk memes. The right started to try to cancel people for

4:40Rod Palmer criticizing Beebe. The right started to cancel people for trying to cancel him. It... They just weaponized, they just turned the blade of cancel culture back at the people who were wielding it against them. It didn't make anything better. They just were... They just they just turned... It did the... They just flipped the narrative on who had power. And now that they're losing power, they're gonna lose the midterms. So now the left is taking control of the cancel culture again, and they're using it to intimidate the right and be like, once you've lose the midterms, it's over. The HR ladies are coming back just in time for the Christmas party.

5:18Rod Palmer It... They may take our right to say retard at work away from us. I mean, we could be in our final months. This could be the last October we can say retard at work. Yep. Well, historically, what used to happen

5:31Richard Greaser is that the the the Kayfabe was a front to keep the plagues occupied. Like, you you look at, like, somebody like Ronald Reagan, like, I don't know if you ever had a phase in your life where you go back and watch Ronald Reagan speeches

5:46Rod Palmer and get all pumped. Morning in the Barricon.

5:49Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like you used to... They they used to give this front. It it was a compelling narrative that made the plebs feel good about themselves in one way or another. And there was some positivity. There was, like, a unified enemy in the communist, and so they kinda had the, they they had the,

6:11Richard Greaser like, open narrative of what they were doing to fight the communist, like the space train...

6:16Rod Palmer Yeah. This is when the CIA was in control of the kayfabe. CIA had the best kayfabe. I mean, you weren't you weren't just following along with the kayfabe. It made you feel good. It was top gun. This was you... We were we were beaten... Like you said, we were beating the Russians, the glasnost, perestroika. The USSR was crumbling. Ronald Reagan was absolutely

6:41Rod Palmer mocking Gorbachev. Absolutely mocking it. And then he told them to tear down the Berlin Wall. One of the biggest symbols, one of the biggest institutions of the secular was the Berlin Wall and it was ripped and it was torn down and CIA dominated. Now

7:01Rod Palmer the the the boomer... Not the boomers, the Zoomers, and we talked about this, the Zoomers are starting to take control of an area, take control of the cave aid, and the Zoomers were brainwashed by China on TikTok. So now we've got the subversive anti

7:20Rod Palmer traditional you know neo con conservative values are being undermined by these Zoomers. They... The CIA has no control. The the White House has a pretty a pretty based broccoli haircut social media team. Why young people don't use sex, they use TikTok and the White House has no influence on TikTok.

7:42Rod Palmer On TikTok, people know about like the Epstein, cold Epstein stuff, all the stuff they try to suppress. And you talked about these these kids have no future. They're they're gambling on Kalshi and, DraftKings.

7:58Rod Palmer They're gambling on bread and circuses. They're not being distracted by the bread and circuses, or they're gambling on the bread and circuses. And they're realizing the bread and circuses are cakey, and they're pissed. And, like, they're they're freaking out in France. The the the the broccoli haircuts and, you know, the the immigrant broccoli, they're burning France's... The school is closed in France because they're burning it down. And,

8:24Rod Palmer really, the broccoli haircuts are... There's revolution going on all over the world. There are all these countries. The only place the the bro... The broccoli haircuts aren't revolting right now is The United States, unless it's, you know, on campus for Palestine. Once once they realize that it's... The the Britain circuses are stacked against them on the gambling apps, they're gonna be riding here. Yeah, absolutely.

8:48Richard Greaser I mean, one thing to remember about the broccoli haircuts is many of the ones that are coming up and have an influence in the world are what teachers sometimes call COVID kids. They're individuals that significantly had their lives disrupted in one way or another

9:06Richard Greaser as a result of the the COVID lockdowns, whether their their, like, high school sports careers were heavily interrupted or just eliminated or canceled in general.

9:19Richard Greaser Kids had to play basketball running around in indoors with a with a mask on in many places. You know, individuals had to... I mean, some kids were in four year colleges for, like, four to six years as a result of this. And they were not they were not paying for it out of pocket or with their parents' money. They were, financing it. And so they were getting up to their eyeballs in debt, student loan debt, that they're now having to pay back in an economy that's really difficult for them. And

9:54Richard Greaser they don't have as much money to to gamble away on Cal sheet as a result of it. And that being the primary, I mean, can you get ahead as a as a broccoli haircut these days without being a successful

10:09Rod Palmer sports gambler, or is that the only way out? It's... The only way out is as a broccoli haircut is to, like you said, overcome all the odds and be a profitable sports gambler. But, like, these... Anybody who knows about sports gambling knows that, like, the AI and the analytics are so good. These games, the spreads that you have to bet against to win any money are so tight, like, they're so accurate. The the the sportsbook has them so accurate that it's... There's almost zero Broccoli Ericka's winning on the gambling front. So that's a, you know,

10:47Rod Palmer a dead end. The other end is OnlyFans if you're a girl, you have to join OnlyFans or you have to, you know, like there's a streamer who he's on like a day 103 of being at the most suspicious suspect, like,

11:05Rod Palmer outlet mall Chinese buffets until he gets food poisoning. He's basically eating very, like like Indian street food in in these nasty buffets to give himself food poisoning to be able to afford his taxes. But what about everybody else? You've got you've got kids going to college, and

11:25Rod Palmer are there... What are they getting out of it? They're either getting... They're they're either going to, like, drug fueled orgies, or they're getting, you know, pepper sprayed by police, for protesting Israel. Like, nobody's actually going to school. Nobody's actually learning AI. Like, there's no way out of this. Everything's just a gambling, a speculative solution for them. And their grandparents and their parents aren't very good examples, they're just going to Vegas and gambling away their Social Security checks at the slot machines, and everybody else in between is just dude posting on Twitter. Well, I think,

11:58Richard Greaser one thing that's useful that many broccoli haircuts are getting out of college right now is that they are learning how to convince boomers that AI slop is an AI slop. I would say that's a useful skill. But why not... What's after that?

12:13Rod Palmer Can, you know, like, you become a content creator, I guess, and create AI slot to fool the boomers, but it... How much slot is... Are they gonna need? How many... How much slot are the boomers gonna need? Some might say a lot. It seems like there might be the industry. It... The the the the picks and acts and shovels, like, it it will be to feed Boomers retirement slot. The Boomers are gonna have no jobs. They're gonna have... They're gonna be living in their... They're gonna have to sell some of their retirement homes, but, like, their kids are gonna have to move in to their retirement homes because their kids aren't gonna be able to afford their own homes. And the... They're just gonna be retired or have nothing to do, and they're gonna need slot to consume. And they're gonna need TikTok slot, they're gonna need Twitter slot, they're gonna need

12:58Rod Palmer YouTube video slop, Facebook video slop. It's just gonna be about creating Boomer retirement slop and feeding it to them, and maybe that's the only way that we can get any money back out of the Boomers is to extract it by selling them slop. Yeah, potentially.

13:16Richard Greaser Well, I think one of the problems of extracting money out of the boomers is they spend so much money on trinkets. Have you heard about this trend that's going around recently of younger people going and antique shopping at Boomer Estate Sales? Oh, yes. It's everywhere. I mean, I know in

13:34Rod Palmer my own in real life circle that is one of the most popular as such is going to estate sales and buying all the trinkets that boomers got off QVC,

13:47Richard Greaser while they were waiting to die. Yeah. It's... They're raiding, yeah, they're raiding their homes. It's it's one of the only ways to to get any quality furniture that isn't just like Amazon Right. Slop or Ikea.

14:01Rod Palmer Yeah. It's it's... The the idea of selling trinkets, we think about it as, like, people are selling trinkets to the plebs because the the pleb trinket market was such a good market. This isn't new. People have been selling trinkets. They they... The QVC channel, like, boomers are just up all day sitting and watching TV all day, and they've got money to spend. They're just buying commemorative $9.11 coins off of the QVC or off of Fox News. They're buying collectible, you know, rare Beanie Babies. They're still selling those to boomers on on the TV shopping channels. They're they're selling them,

14:36Rod Palmer you know, all these Medicare plans and and the the pharmaceutical companies are selling them prescription drugs. Everybody's selling these plebs or these boomers, some of them are plebs, trinkets on TV and on Facebook. But the the market now that boomers are... They're not digitally native but they're digitally fluent. Boomers are coming into the AI era digitally and

15:02Rod Palmer computationally fluent. And now you're going to be able to sell and stream slot directly to these boomers on demand. And there's going to be there's just going to be a huge market for it. Well, I think one of the problems is, the perspective

15:16Richard Greaser largely of the future for the broccoli haircut is picking up the scraps that the boomers leave behind instead of generating new value.

15:25Rod Palmer The, you know, it doesn't portend well for IKEA or for what's the what's the Wayfair for Amazon Prime like people aren't going to be buying new they're just gonna be moving into boomers homes just

15:43Rod Palmer fully, you know, fully furnished or whatever they got from estate sales. So this is, I guess, this is bad for physical trinket manufacturers.

15:52Richard Greaser Well, yeah. I mean, this is the this is the problem with, like, the the whole tiny home ideas. Like, how many trinkets can you put in a tiny home? You're so... The the the block space of how many trinkets that you can crowd in is extremely limited. And it seems like the the tiny home craze is really

16:14Richard Greaser ending because the the people that were trying to move into these tiny tiny homes, they couldn't even afford to to get these things permitted when they were setting things up. And so, like, the the thought was we're gonna move into this little box because we can't afford a real house. And so they move into the tiny home and then they find out that they

16:35Rod Palmer they can't even afford to get it permitted. Well, this is, you know, create this is, you know, create, like, there's going to be a coming decision that has to be made because we just heard the president Trump on on Friday or Thursday or Friday he said what plebs have been screaming at the top of their lungs

16:55Rod Palmer for years is that we can just inflate our way out of the $40,000,000,000,000 national debt pretty easily. We could just print our way out. Well, that's true and it's... There's many examples in the past of this happening, but this particularly punishes boomers because the boomers have all the assets they have they have all of the value,

17:17Rod Palmer all the assets and this here everything real estate but if Trump starts just pumping the price, the the cost to service and pay their taxes on these assets, that become a problem, especially if boomers are at 63... Like most of the time these guys get towards retirement, they got bonds. And now these bond prices are gonna go, you know,

17:37Rod Palmer through the... Like, down the floor and yields are gonna be so high. The donors are gonna have to decide that they're gonna do I do I sell and rent my properties to immigrants or do I do I give them to my kids? And donors are gonna be stuck. Like, this is a very difficult decision for them. Like, they don't wanna give their kids anything, but they don't want

17:58Rod Palmer their house to to be rented by Somalians. And so they're gonna have to decide, you know, that... And this is gonna be very difficult for them, and this is gonna cause a lot more boomer crash outs. So I think that, like, Darkseid and these other boomer doomers on x, they they see a doom for their own future, and they're projecting it onto everybody else's. But the the last thing these guys wanna do

18:23Rod Palmer is key route their property to their

18:25Richard Greaser kids. But they're gonna they're gonna be forced with no other choice. I mean, is there a route for them to be able to convert all their property into into casino tokens that they can spend at the the slot machine?

18:38Rod Palmer I think... Well, this is gonna be... I mean, this is gonna be, I think, something you're gonna see door to door people going and saying, listen, we'll buy your house cash. But instead of cash, they're gonna say, listen, we've got just a a tab for you at Caesar's Palace or this much money. Sell us your house today. We will move everything out for you. We'll do an estate sale. They're gonna... All the people... All the young people are gonna come take us when you die anyway. You might as well get right right now where the market's hot and convert this all to to Caesar's Palace credits.

19:09Richard Greaser Well, I think there's there's a real benefit to that... Doing something like that right now because... First neighbors. Yeah. Well, I mean, because the property is very illiquid at the moment, it seems like. It's very difficult to sell a house in in a lot of circumstances relative to how it's been. Unless you live...

19:27Rod Palmer That's true, but it... It's it's very dependent. Unless you live in Silicon Valley or in these regions that are rich with beta summers. The real estate market in the the most AI forward ZIP codes in America are through the roof, especially in Silicon Valley. Real estate is through the roof. Everywhere else,

19:50Rod Palmer there's no good... There's no Airbnb buyers anymore. The millennial buyers are exhausted. The Zoomers are nowhere close. It's coming down to do do we sell it at a loss to smallians or gain it to our kids or for Caesars Palace tickets.

20:03Richard Greaser I mean, if you were a boomer in this situation, what would you take? I mean, I would take I would take some of it

20:09Rod Palmer in Caesar's Palace tokens, some of it in Strike for the yield, or SOTA, and maybe the rest in USDT. I think they are working on tokenizing casino credits so that, you know, if you've got Bitcoin, Lightning, the swap... The bolts thing gets back open, whatever. So Tether, you can swap right into... You can just you can get paid in Tether for your house,

20:34Rod Palmer convert it immediately to casino tokens. I think it's a no brainer. I mean, they're gonna be able to... You're gonna strike the app, not the not the the digital security. They might be able to just have it so that your, Social Security check is deposited right into your account in either Tether or Casino Tokens. Get paid in Caesars Palace, you know, credits.

20:56Richard Greaser Do you think boomers are gonna use USDT or USDC

21:00Rod Palmer at the end of the day? To be blunt, I I feel like USDC is gonna be the boomer coin, partially because it's probably the best candidate for the CBDC, And I think that you're gonna be able to onboard a lot of boomers to the CBDC by, you know, they'll be able to get their Social Security check one day early. Instead of having to have it sent to Cash App to get it one day early, they can just get the CBDC directly into their, you know,

21:27Rod Palmer Social Security, you know, phone wallet, which all they have to do is scan their Social Security wallet on their iPhone and Caesars Palace and boom, they can start pulling the levers

21:39Richard Greaser on the slot machines. Yeah. My money is on boomers using USDC. It just... It it seems like Tether is kind of like the the the hipster stablecoin in the Global South, and USDC is, like, the the compliant

21:56Richard Greaser western version?

21:58Rod Palmer Yeah. It's, you know, Tether is for, you know, people who... Internationals, people who travel a lot, people go to the Global South, people who are connected in the Bitcoin spaces, but, like, USDC is for your grandma, your grandpa, your neighbors, you know, the the people in the the homeowners association, well, it's that USDC, the PTA, Venmo. Your friend will Venmo each other at USDC,

22:24Rod Palmer where is is... They'll be... You'll be able to get Tethr, though some people will ask for Tethr. Like, some, you know, you know, Bojago's might ask for Tethr. But I think that by and large in the flyover states and in the more, you know, you got the upper middle class suburb type communities. USDC will be the standard. I think it's... It'll be a a status symbol to a certain extent. Yeah. Makes sense. It's kinda like a an AmEx credit card.

22:51Richard Greaser Right. So to say.

22:52Rod Palmer Right. Somebody has... Some people have AmEx, some people have Visa, some people have Discover card. It'll just be it'll it'll just depend on your on your class and and your and your residency.

23:04Richard Greaser Makes sense. So with the with the rise of, media discussing Jeffrey Epstein, one thing that began to go mainstream was conspiracy theories and

23:18Richard Greaser people trying to understand forbidden knowledge that typically is not shared with the plebs. And I think there was a a fear by the ruling class and or many people, which was that the plebs were going to have some sort

23:34Richard Greaser of awakening and and actual understanding of the world around them, that they would they would figure out some semblance of the truth. And instead, what has happened is the FCM files have become part of just the mainstream tape of it all. I tend to I tend to believe that the the Pleiads understanding this forbidden knowledge is actually really dangerous.

23:57Rod Palmer What are what are your thoughts on that? This is this is the... That Tara and I used that some people weren't quite sure what it meant. I was like, the Epstein Uncles. But who are these Epstein Uncles? And the... A lot of plebs, a lot of their the blood slot gurus, there's, you know, a handful of them, and they're the Epstein uncles. You've got Dave Smith, Tucker Carlson, Matthew Crater,

24:22Rod Palmer Dan Bilzerian. These are gentlemen who are... Who have deemed unk status in our society and they are... They've made it their personality or their mission or their... Maybe they decided,

24:38Rod Palmer maybe it's a subconscious thing, but they they turn their life into a crusade either against the people in the Epstein files or a a public relations front to let everyone know that they are not themselves in the Epstein files and that they disagree

24:58Rod Palmer are disgusted by people who are. But in some way or another they have framed and built a lens for which they look at the world and maybe look at all of the current situations and geopolitics as

25:12Rod Palmer how does this tie back to the Epstein files and where is my position in all of this to the Epstein files and Epstein Island? And everything is just about that it just comes down to Epstein and not going or having been to Epstein Island. And they've all got a bunch of typically younger kind of outcast

25:34Rod Palmer type groipers they call themselves nephews who they rally around their Epstein uncles. They've got the nephews that rally around Dave Smith and Thomas Massey and and Matthew Kratter. Some of these celebs living in their car, and they they they drink beer in the Walmart parking lot, and they scream into their camera frustrated, and they just want to hang out with one of these Epstein uncles who kind of makes... Frames everything and makes them feel

26:03Rod Palmer like they're on the on the right side of history. And it's a very... In some some case... You know, Andrew creates another one of these. It's a... In some cases, it's very thinly veiled like there's like a psychosexual component to the Epstein uncles and their and their group or nephews and it did but they it's it's just very bizarre. In this case, this is what I think a lot of

26:27Rod Palmer people were worried about. I think most sophisticated people who kinda understand how the world works, nobody was actually worried about being seen in the in the Epstein files. There was definitely people who had type... The types of jobs or the types of professional situations where that they knew they were gonna get fired or they did they were gonna take a lot of scrutiny or that their foundation was going to see a, you know, a couple of years of, lower donations.

26:53Rod Palmer But generally they knew that they were gonna get in trouble, they didn't do anything technically speaking wrong, in fact Jeffrey Epstein was making sure of that for them. But now you've got this this kayfabe that is now cemented in these people in the in the mainstream, broader republics minds, and you've got people building obsessions over the Epstein files, and and they creating these little subcultures out of their

27:19Rod Palmer their obsession with the Epstein kayfabe, that it's it's really radicalizing and we're seeing the effects all over society in the Republican party, there's there's ruptures, there's disunity,

27:33Rod Palmer the podcast community, there's ruptures and disunity on TikTok, on the streams, in Bitcoin, Bip one ten, was the Epstein uncles and their plex slap corporate nephews forking off to be pure from having, you know, Epstein content on on their spam chain. It's it's it's just really... It's creating these purity spirals and it's... It kinda misses the point and nobody's actually

27:56Rod Palmer helping victims of the pedophile... Feel like elite class and its associates with Epstein, they're not helping those victims, they're just, they're creating more victims in their own weird

28:10Rod Palmer niche and they're using it to exploit people who are vulnerable.

28:15Richard Greaser Well, I think part part of the weird dichotomy of of what's going on in this in this k fab is it's very... Like, some names to add to the list that are, you know, I've been seeing a lot of, Jimmy Doerr, Colonel Douglas McGregor, Alex Jones, Tim Pool,

28:34Richard Greaser Hassan Piker. I mean, there... There's, like, a wide range of these individuals that are that are fitting into this FC and Uncle, like, Kayfabe Industrial Complex in one way or another. And and and part of, like, why it's toxic Kayfabe is because it's it's so circular in the sense of, they will go out there and they will espouse their conspiracy theories, and then they'll funnel you back into the system, into the government, into voting

29:04Richard Greaser harder or or changing, you know, it's like we... It it... The the things that they're they're talking about, like the forbidden knowledge that they are oftentimes referencing that has become mainstream requires a real revolution. There's no way around it. It it it requires organization. It requires

29:24Richard Greaser risk. It requires violence. The things that they're discussing. And so they're they're bombarding people with stuff that is so egregious, it it can't be comprehended or or stood for. And then their their solution is

29:41Richard Greaser to then empower the the power structure in which they are are critiquing it and criticizing. And it... It's like the most demoralizing doom spiral ever. Because you get sucked into this kayfabe, like, this is your world view. You think this is a solution. You show up and you vote for somebody that does the opposite of everything that they do over and over again. And then you have like some hope that like the culture shifting. Sydney Sweeney is on all these billboards

30:09Richard Greaser and Twitter ads and then she converts to Judaism. Like this this is the problem with the the secular kayfabe is there's no escape. There's no there's no exit valve of there it it's like you're getting tossed in a laundry laundry machine just spun in circles over and over and over again.

30:28Rod Palmer Yes. It's getting to the point where these people are so demoralized, they're so spun up and so jaded

30:38Rod Palmer that they're literally threatening to go and vote for communism. They they they think that they're gonna, like, somehow tear down... They just... They want to tear down the system so badly,

30:52Rod Palmer but they don't want to get off their couch and go revolt. They don't want to go out and get pepper sprayed and get shot with rubber bullets by ICE agents. They want they want the libtards to do to be to have that happen to them. But they want to vote they wanted to vote their way out of it. And they just realized, like, in 2024, you can't vote your way out of it, but they don't they don't wanna tear it down themselves. So they're they're going to vote for communism out of cognitive dissonance to punish Donald Trump, to to punish MAGA supporters, to punish people like Sydney Sweeney who

31:28Rod Palmer decide that it's in their best interests to adopt the Mossad mentality. And these people don't want to adopt the Mossad mentality. So they're forced to either keep voting into oblivion or elect communists to tear it down for them. I mean, this is like

31:45Richard Greaser it poses the question once again is like, is it actually more destructive for the Plebs to have this forbidden knowledge?

31:54Rod Palmer At the end of the day. It's like, would would the plebs would society be better off if they didn't know about the Epstein files? Right. Exactly. And we got... I've even tweeted about this from a different angle. But think about it... Let me ask the question what you just asked. What benefit does it serve to tell tell the plebs about the Epstein files? What benefit does it does does it serve to society to give plebs the Epstein files? What benefit does it serve society to tell the plebs lightning doesn't work? What benefit does it tell... Does it serve society to tell the plebs about cold card and the lack of entropy?

32:30Rod Palmer Because once they find out that their little plebs love routines and their little little rituals that they've adopted, that they've comforted themselves with, Once they find out it's gayphid,

32:43Rod Palmer they're demoralized, and they wanna give up, and they want to follow charlatans who will run crusades and campaigns against the people who let them down. They've slayed all their heroes, but their heroes aren't facing accountability like they believe they should, so now they they want to become,

33:05Rod Palmer you know, plus a lot vigilantes and to and to bring justice and manners into their own hands.

33:10Richard Greaser Well, I mean, that's what they... They're going to have to do if if they wanna see any improvement. Because the problem with forbidden knowledge is it carries a sense of weight and responsibility. And for so long, like, when I was talking about Reagan earlier, like, the part part of the... Individuals that, like, look back and

33:29Richard Greaser and love Ronald Reagan, what they they miss and feel nostalgic about is this obliviousness. It's the way that things work. So they had Reagan out there talking about how great America is while Oliver North is, you know, smuggling... Having drugs smuggled into, The United States and into Los Angeles and and then training these,

33:54Richard Greaser these plebs in South America to to go fight a war, and they're shipping tons of guns down there. And instead of, you know, the clubs using them, they're they're they're selling them to Pablo Escobar so he can use it against the Colombian government.

34:09Rod Palmer And... They they just wanted to buy a house for $25,000 and benefit from the secular bull market and bonds and

34:22Rod Palmer feel like they were beating the bad guys and that everything was under control while, you know, on the surface, doctor Fauci was giving everybody aids and the CIA was turning everybody... All the black people into crackheads. They just wanted to ignore that, and wanted to feel good. But you can't anymore, you can't.

34:41Rod Palmer We don't have a Ronald Reagan for president, We have a president who says the quiet part out loud. Donald Trump says the forbidden the forbidden knowledge out loud, and the plebs hear it, and most of the time, it's so shocking to them that they can't believe it. And it's just like, it becomes like a new and well thing. But eventually the plebs start to realize that Donald Trump,

35:06Rod Palmer in a roundabout way, is telling them the truth. He is giving them access to the forbidden knowledge, and they they hate him for it. They turned on him for it. Donald Trump gave them what they wanted, the Epstein files. He released the Epstein files, and they turned on him for it. Well, I mean, it's not even like

35:25Richard Greaser he fully gave him the Epstein files. I think him failing to at least come up with, like, a somewhat convincing explanation

35:36Richard Greaser and release the information is confirmation in and of itself

35:40Rod Palmer of the forbidden knowledge. But it's it is the Epstein, like bringing any sort of reasonable or justice or closure to the Epstein case is the equivalent of trying to cut government spending with Doge. It's the equivalent of

35:58Rod Palmer draining the swamp. It is a promise you cannot keep, or so it's an impossible task. And and so many people expected Doge... They would... They expected Doge to lead to freedom dividends or the playoffs. They would... They they expected Donald Trump to end the wars so that they didn't have to go fight them anymore, bring gas prices down.

36:19Rod Palmer Like you say retarded at work, he gave... He made some of those promises come true, but it's just a it's just a fundamental disconnect to reality to expect to solve these massive massive structural problems especially overnight. And at this point

36:38Rod Palmer it doesn't it's a two way it's a double edged sword because now the politicians and Trump they they can't even buy votes anymore by promising to give out stimulus checks because nobody believes that they're coming. Nobody nobody believes that the tariff checks didn't come.

36:55Richard Greaser Nothing came. Yeah. They... They're still having to pay federal income tax. They can't afford their taxes. And I think they realized from the last time... Like, I think what many Americans are starting to understand based on their last experience with stimulus checks is that whenever that happens, it's not like it makes it any easier for them to afford their taxes. Like, pretty pretty shortly after, their their taxes become way harder to to afford after a stimulus check. Especially if you don't put it into Bitcoin. And our rate is... We're

37:28Rod Palmer we're reaching a point, and we talked about this last week, where it feels like we're coming to a turning point or a page turn or something, and it seems like it's gonna be the midterms. But if, as people prepare to go and vote,

37:47Rod Palmer again, for... To try radically make change, are they going to get to the ballot box and decide maybe... Do we really want to bring woke back? Do we really wanna bring cancel culture back? Is that what we're voting for, to bring cancel culture back? Maybe maybe the maybe the Democrats played their hand a little too early. So it's real it's

38:09Richard Greaser a very real question of whether HR departments will get rehired and if certain words will get outlawed again. If there'll be restrictions on the use of damn retard. I mean, do you think do you think the culture war would have been won by the right

38:30Richard Greaser if they had actually pushed far enough

38:33Rod Palmer to be able to say the n word again? That's a really good question. I don't... You might be tempted to say to the thought to the thought experiment anyway, yes. But I I don't know if... It's like, you know, in the... In Bitcoin, like, when the price pops 25% in one week, everybody's really pumped about it and they're really happy. But within a few days, everybody's bored and fighting again. Everybody would be celebrating getting

38:57Rod Palmer N word probabilities back or at least a lot of people would, not everybody. But would it last, you know? Would would the demoralizing effect of having forbidden information, forbidden knowledge, would it overcome... Would would would it does the inward privilege is to be a little overcome that I don't know? Because people are...

39:18Rod Palmer You can only turn up, but they're at the circus just so much before the marginal utility stops being valuable. After the tenth slice of pizza, the pizza doesn't taste so good anymore, and the eleventh slice is slightly worse. Getting all this forbidden knowledge and and all these forbidden terms back,

39:36Rod Palmer the marginal value of each new one starts to decrease.

39:39Richard Greaser We're officially in October. Do you have any predictions on price?

39:44Rod Palmer It... Every October, 220 k is still in play. It looks like we're pumping a little bit to tonight. I don't... Some people are saying you can't trust a Sunday pump, but sometimes you can in October. So it'll be interesting to see what happens the next week because the the doomer stuff and the yields, they're gonna keep pushing higher. People

40:03Rod Palmer are showing old tweets from about the central bank of Japan, you know, kind of nuking the global financial system and some of the vape posts around that doom. I mean, but to me, the sky's the limit. I think we could go back over a 100 k by the end of the month. So one one thing that I noticed and...

40:22Richard Greaser It's a psychological trick that's used on people using the Internet. Oftentimes, it's to oscillate back back and forth between extremely bearish stuff and extremely bullish stuff, very inflammatory stuff, very, you know, just stuff that people agree with.

40:38Richard Greaser I don't know if you're familiar with this.

40:40Rod Palmer Like, the... Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Right. This is like the hot cold the hot cold, the... I mean, this is it's... This is classic, you know, manipulation.

40:52Richard Greaser It's funny because the the boomers are just, like, playing a role in the social media algorithm. They're fulfilling that role of of being the bearer's post that Twitter then can use to oscillate back and forth and hypnotize people when they're using their platform. And, like, how many of these doer doers are even... Because so many people

41:13Richard Greaser are so incentivized on what they post and what they create online based on the reward of views and engagements. How many of the... How many of these doomer boomers have come to these conclusions because of, like, their own volition versus them just playing

41:30Richard Greaser a role in the algorithm?

41:32Rod Palmer I don't think the boom just the boomers are doing everything subconsciously, there's no self awareness to it. The boomers are the original generation that political strategist identify as useful idiots, they they get used to a kick out of their of being included and

41:53Rod Palmer they'll kind of say and do whatever whatever short term is rewarding for them. And I I think that's boomers to a tee, doing what is

42:03Richard Greaser short term rewarding, long term damaging. I mean, this is essentially what Larry Lapard's book is,

42:08Rod Palmer the big print. It's like a copy of his own. Exactly. It is... I mean, the big print is like the... It's the Lambo. It is the hyper Bitcoinization. It is this... The rapture for the Christians. It is this ultimate moment of

42:27Rod Palmer our entire thesis is played out and the whole world will will recognize it in one big event. It's one big one big victory, one big announcement, And that's just... It's just naive. The... Even

42:41Rod Palmer victory is is won over many consistent, reliable announcements. Nobody... Nobody's... There's no one announcement that people will trust anymore. You can't announce anything. Like, they just announced that Noah's Ark was confirmed found. They're announcing aliens are real, but nobody

42:59Rod Palmer is willing to confirm after one announcement anymore. It it takes many multiple confirmations. It's like it's like getting a transaction confirmed on chain. Only after so many confirmations is it considered secure. Announcements are the same way, but it takes far more than ten minutes. So you're ever gonna get the big print announcement. This is not really gonna happen. It's like Donald d... Donald Trump claimed peace in Gaza. You got peace in Gaza last year or earlier this year, whenever it was. It's just one announcement.

43:32Rod Palmer We... We'll wait and see. Seems like there's,

43:34Richard Greaser almost weekly or biweekly announcement of, the Strait Of Hormuz getting reopened.

43:40Rod Palmer Yeah. And and this is a good example because if it reopened last Monday but then it reopened on... Again on Friday, it's like, well, that means it was closed in between Monday and Friday. Until there is multiple... The Strait Of Hormuz remains open and

43:58Rod Palmer oil is increasing is increasing day over day when people start to feel better again. But constantly reopening it is just is just in... By deduction, you can you can infer that it closed in between the last announcement.

44:13Richard Greaser Well, I guess one of the final topics that I have that just came to mind is, do you... How do you think the libertarians will perform in the midterms?

44:23Rod Palmer Well, you know, not well. A lot of... I've seen a lot of the third party candidate in a lot of racism around the country is effectively libertarian, but they've kinda narrowed it down. It's like you've got the legalized

44:39Rod Palmer marijuana now party or the, you know, legalized this or the constitutionalists. They don't wanna call themselves libertarians anymore. I think people want to distance themselves from the Epstein uncles, distance themselves from, Thomas Massie, distance themselves from the cringe loser core libertarians

44:59Rod Palmer who have... They've really just been saying the same things as the the dissident won't write of the right of the right wing, but with just fewer results. Right now, people are kind of, whether or not they even support or want the results they're voting for, they're voting for somebody who will get some sort of results. The nothing ever happens type crowd

45:23Rod Palmer just want there to be a result. Mom Donnie is a good example. They just want then there to be a result of... In change. They don't necessarily care what it is anymore. And the Winterthurians don't provide that. Makes sense.

45:37Richard Greaser I haven't heard anything from any of them. Yeah. I don't know any pro... Any libertarians

45:42Rod Palmer running or anything in the midterms.

45:45Richard Greaser I mean, what do you think is doing worse right now? The Bitcoin podcasters or libertarian podcasters?

45:51Rod Palmer I I think they're both on rock bottom right now. Luckily, rock bottom is an excellent surface to pivot on. So if you wanna pivot,

46:00Richard Greaser do it at rock bottom. I mean, what what is the pivot for a libertarian?

46:04Rod Palmer I think he... You just gotta start by weeding yourself off those purity tests. Libertarians, like plebs and and many other of these demoralized ideologies,

46:17Rod Palmer they just have to stop relying on purity tests to dictate their direction. And we'll see, I mean, we'll we'll see if people can do that. They're like, people will cling to their purity tests, harder than they will cling to the red circles. Oh, wow. The, Bolsonaro's look like he's gonna win the Brazilian election.

46:39Richard Greaser Interesting times. So that mean they'll be able to say gay and retard in Brazil?

46:43Rod Palmer I think so. Big win, big win for Brazilians. One of the last countries to not be able to say gay and retard in the Western Hemisphere.

46:51Richard Greaser Well, we had a... Yeah. It's like them in Canada, pretty much. Yeah. We we had some headlines that I I thought were kinda interesting from last week. Are you gonna be going to the the Peter Thiel, Thiel, presentation at Bitcoin Magazine?

47:07Rod Palmer No. No. No. I got a, invite... An email invite to get a chance to go to that. So I think I'm still on the Real Plebs mailing list even though I've... We... You know, we we quit that organization, like, two and a half years ago, like, a week after we started the podcast, but now I'm not going.

47:27Richard Greaser Are you onto that? I'm not sure. I got invited by Rob Hamilton. So it seems like big big Bitcoin is trying to get me there too, but I I don't know. I'm not particularly interested. I guess last story to talk about is,

47:43Richard Greaser were you impressed with Preston Pysh's roller coaster taikin setup?

47:49Rod Palmer I thought it was cool. He did, the Corn Tango roller coaster, which was, you know, most of our doors just have, like, a huge hill at the very beginning, and you drop, and it's scary, and you do loops and stuff. Well, but the corn tango starts with two. It looks very similar to the 2021 price chart to, blow off tops. Yeah. It it looks great.

48:09Rod Palmer There was you didn't have as much time to build a solar course for Tycoon Park as Mike Tomlin had to build his Minecraft city. But I think the the attention to the fidelity to the on

48:24Rod Palmer to the the on chain the on chain phenomenon of 2021 was really cool. I think people who are stuck were just, like, the nostalgia of the 2021 cycle were really like his roller coaster to Academia Park. It's just kinda nice to see him in the public again in in some way interfacing because I know he's been offline for quite some time. Yeah. Yeah. He took some he took some big L's in the in the bear market like many a... Like many people did.

48:53Rod Palmer But he's no plant, you know, he he got right to work fixing his incentives and and lowering his time preference again in the in the right in the right program.

49:02Richard Greaser Did you sign up for Natalie's Fabian... Only Fabian's account? I did. I did.

49:09Rod Palmer About what, like, a while ago, and we we got on there, and we we signed up for our Only Fabian's account, so we could see that Forbidden Doctor. Cruise video.

49:16Richard Greaser Was it good? Was it any different from his talk in Prague?

49:21Rod Palmer I'd say it was I'd say it was worth $850. I mean, if if if an uncensored video of of Natalie and doctor Cruz is worth $850 to you, you know who you are. Well, you got anything else before we wrap this one up? Good luck to you, and have a have have a bullish October.
