0:00Richard Greaser Also hard, did Bitcoin wanna find me? That shit cray. Folks, welcome back to Bugle Weekly, and it has been an an incredible week, not in a good way. You have, I mean,

0:17Richard Greaser you hate to give it to them, but Nifuentes was talking about when the Nazis were in Paris, they preserved the iconic architecture, the art,

0:28Richard Greaser literature, the foundation of Western civilization which emanates largely, on Paris. And, this weekend,

0:41Richard Greaser just the total opposite, plebs in Paris are burning into the ground. The plebs are freaking out in the streets, they are they burned down one of the most iconic, like,

0:56Richard Greaser town halls in Limoger, if that's how you pronounce... I don't know how to pronounce any of those stupid French words, but it's it's going down. It's terrible. The French economy, much like the rest of Western Europe, is disproportionately suffering from high bond yields, high energy costs.

1:16Richard Greaser South Korea is similarly suffering. There is, reports wildly spread rumors that north Korean leader Kim Jong Un has passed away.

1:29Richard Greaser Some people think this is KFAB, leading into the new hall of duty video game, which is a futuristic version of the Korean War. And the war... The world right now is essentially darning, except for small parts of the Midwest where

1:50Richard Greaser red state Bitcoiners are maintaining peace and and prosperity. Today, as we record, the Canadians are voting on whether or not Alberta

2:03Richard Greaser will secede from the Canadian, whatever the government's called up there. It's... There's there's a lot to cover today. How you doing, Richard? Have you been following the

2:19Richard Greaser chaos in Paris as closely as others have, especially, you know, looks like Dan Justman has really taken this upon him? One of his fellow French or wine manufacturers. You got, like, the two biggest wine producers in the world, you got France and Colorado.

2:40Rod Palmer Have you have you been following this stuff? I haven't been following it too closely. It seems like the the plebs like to go crazy in France periodically. So I don't think it's anything new. It's... Generally, what happens, it seems like, is

2:57Rod Palmer the plebs in France are upset that they don't get enough handouts from the government. Like, they'll they'll change their retirement age or, you know, something like that, and then they'll go protest in the streets and and light things on fire. It seems like this protest is a little bit more fiery, than normal. Literally.

3:20Rod Palmer But I'm not sure. I know I know it's been taken over the timeline, but as as we all know, the timeline isn't always the indicator of reality.

3:33Richard Greaser Right. Well, these protests didn't, like, pop up over the weekend. This has been going on for a month or so, and the narrative officially was that the

3:48Richard Greaser the students in France think that increment... Like if if if France was just two or 3% more socialist than it already is, that things would be better. And so they're in the streets protesting

4:02Richard Greaser for incremental incremental social. They are essentially... The protesters in France are Fabians. They want incremental socialism and a pragmatic

4:13Richard Greaser road map of like, Hey, we'll increase the socialism by 1% in the next year, and then over the next five years we'll get another 1.5%. That 2.5% increase in socialism will create a utopia.

4:26Richard Greaser And so these are plaids, they're stupid, they're students, and then the narrative kind of became that this is... And you know, it's easy to see this because if you look at the videos, it's just a crowd

4:43Richard Greaser of Antifa and Palestinian flags. So, like the narrative is that these are Islamic immigrants who are crashing out, because they just found out about Charlie Hebdo and the disrespect of,

4:58Richard Greaser Islam by the French elite. And then somebody, I think it was Nick Shirley. I think it was Nick Shirley. He was on the ground in Paris. And he was... Because he was covering the Somalians in Minnesota. He went to Paris to cover the Somalians in in Paris, and he asked the protesters on the ground, why are you protesting? What is all of this about? And they told him,

5:22Richard Greaser they all spoke English relatively well, said that they voted a couple of years ago for a leftist government, and that their democ... They that they voted extremely hard, and that their voices were not heard and that Macron was able to secure an alliance with other factions of the parliament and the French government to stay in power with reduced, authority.

5:48Richard Greaser But at the end of the day still being the guy who is ultimately in charge and is the President of that country. So, the French Plads, the French Protestors, the French Immigrants have decided that this year

6:03Richard Greaser they're going to vote harder than ever before. And they're going to not only take, you know, the quote, The pen is mightier than the sword. The Molotov cocktail is mightier than the pen or the sword. And so they're voting with their, with their Molotov cocktails. So it's an evolving... I think the narrative being so simplified down to just like, we want a little bit more socialism, or we want our democracy... Democratic voices to be heard,

6:34Richard Greaser or we're just immigrants who are crashing out about whatever. It's not as simple as one, two, or three. It's not black and white. There is a growing angst that, you know, people are paying similar levels to like New York City, Manhattan rents to live in Paris and what do they get for it? Not much.

6:53Richard Greaser So it's an evolving narrative, it's not as simple as what the timeline would have you believe.

6:59Rod Palmer I know there's a lot of opportunists that have been posting trying to claim this is the fall of Western civilization. I'm not convinced that it is until we see the Mona Lisa being marched through the streets and lit on fire. The the worst that they've been able to do is throw tomato soup on its protective covering.

7:21Rod Palmer And I feel like... I don't know. Do you think I'm wrong? You've been monitoring the situation a lot lot closer. You think this is indicative. It's a Fabian led Plebrivolte. Is it gonna go anywhere? Or is this just, kinda like the US BLM

7:39Rod Palmer led theatrics? Like, some some individuals are just excited to go and loot the Louis Vuitton store and, that's kind of how it goes.

7:50Richard Greaser Well, yeah. Like most of these riots, there was a lot of videos this weekend of, boomers dancing and going out for croissants and wine amidst the rioting. Some people were like saying like, I live in Paris. If it wasn't for Twitter,

8:09Richard Greaser you wouldn't even know there was riots going on. Like, I just walked my dog. It was peaceful. Kareem Kendall has been traveling around, Paris and France the past few days. He's in the South Of France. He he seemed... He's talking about Decorin retirement calculators with, local French, citizens. No, there's no concern about the writing of it. So, I don't think this is like, this is not the French Revolution,

8:35Richard Greaser but, I think it is one more step in a pattern or a a a series of events that is going to lead to, for example, Marine Le Pen, the Thor Right politician is almost a shoo in

8:53Richard Greaser to win, their next election. So they're voting harder for socialism while it looks like they're gonna kinda get the opposite of what they want, these rioters. But I think similar to like in The United States, we are going to see Walgreens

9:10Richard Greaser and Dior start putting, you know, designer calfskin ankle boots behind like a locked,

9:22Richard Greaser like a locked cabinet. And they're gonna put toothbrushes and and and hair shampoo behind locked cabinets, like they do in San Francisco here. And I think that if nothing else, people go to Paris to, like you said, look at the Mona Lisa,

9:39Richard Greaser look at the art and to go shopping. And people love to go shopping in Paris and not being able to go shopping without having to, alert one of the store employees to open the cabinet so they can buy some perfume or whatever, is going to lead to a dramatic decline in tourism,

9:57Richard Greaser and I think once the, once the brands start to see a decrease in revenue,

10:04Rod Palmer you will see the government take action. I know there's been a lot of complaints in Paris for a long time about these, African plebs, selling trinkets. They have these, like, gangs.

10:18Rod Palmer Have you seen this? I'm not sure I know what you're talking about specifically here. So the the the... All over Europe, but, you know, specifically in Paris, there are, these migrants that come from Africa. And they go to all the tourist trap places and they they try and, like, scam tourists with, like, trinkets and make them feel bad for them and and get money for, like, a three d printed Eiffel Tower. And, a lot of people have been complaining about that because they feel intimidated by these tourists. And I wonder if there's gonna be a decline in that, if this is a situation that is kind of an excuse to begin to port in these, plebs. I'd... I'm wondering if

11:03Rod Palmer we'll see Elon Omar on the streets of, Paris selling trinkets

11:08Richard Greaser in the future. Well, this is this is reminiscent of the nineteen thirties when, you know, Germany

11:18Richard Greaser really escalated the authoritarianism and the rise of Hitler was built on the back of immigrants selling trinkets and gypsies kind of... The gypsies were drafting off of this merchant activity and then pit pocketing tourists who had just bought a trinket, and then they were stealing the trinkets from the tourists and selling it back to the immigrants. And it was just this like circular economy of fraud that,

11:47Richard Greaser ultimately led to, you know, World War II. And some people think that this type of behavior, this type of activity is what awakens

12:02Richard Greaser the Far Right across Western Europe and leads to another, you know, nationalist revolution in places like France, Germany, The United Kingdom, etcetera.

12:13Rod Palmer Yeah. It's, an oscillating pendulum, definitely. And a lot of these situations, they... You know, if you you get a bunch of, anti fa type individuals in the streets,

12:30Rod Palmer lighting stuff on fire, you blast it all over social media, that that definitely scares people. And it it seems like it's an effective way to scare, you know, boomers and voters in the midterms here because, in the cross countries, across most of the West is you can point to these riots and these situations and argue that

12:53Rod Palmer if not for whatever the right wing populist, you know, Cathavians, being in power, this is what you get. Yeah. I mean,

13:04Richard Greaser some of the, MAGA influencers have been using these videos, like Stephen Miller, etcetera, to, to drum up support

13:15Richard Greaser for tripling ICE budgets. And, you know, people are... I don't know how much TV you watch or how much anybody watches, but I know a lot of people at least watch TV on Saturday and Sunday for the Brent Circuses

13:31Richard Greaser during football season. And when it comes to commercial, it's nothing but ads or politicians who

13:42Richard Greaser are trying to steer voters into thinking that, the Democrat is gonna chop their their kids testicles off and transition them against their will, and then Democratic candidates trying to scare

13:58Richard Greaser voters into thinking that Donald Trump is gonna tea bag them personally and raise their grocery prices. So it's like, right now is... We talked about this, the fake babe is only going to accelerate for the next few weeks until the midterms. And, all the commercials, all the ads on YouTube, on TV, everywhere you go,

14:19Richard Greaser is just pure political kayfabe. And it is, it's not only scaring the plebs, it's scaring the boomers. And you've got guys like Darkseid who are frantic on the timeline right now. Talia, you know,

14:35Richard Greaser Darkseid was talking about being at a wedding this weekend, and and he was telling everybody that the system wants them dead and wants to see them killed, and that they must stop feeding the beast. And people are at weddings hearing this stuff and they're gonna go out and they're gonna they're going to vote hard and react. Well, whoever scares the boomers right now controls,

14:57Rod Palmer the world. Right.

15:00Richard Greaser And the boomers are scared when they when they look at their... When boomers cannot look at the screen... A screen right now. A TV screen, a phone screen, a computer screen, a movie screen without being terrified. And, boomers don't really have anything else to do. They don't have hobbies. They look at screens. And the screens are very scary right now. It is October so you... Not only do you like

15:27Richard Greaser couple this with all the political kayfabe, all the propaganda on the timeline, you couple this with all the spooky kayfabe from Halloween. Boomers are

15:38Rod Palmer cortisol spiked to the max right now. A lot of people have been talking about the importance for term limits in Congress or just in government in general or age age limits of you can't be an elected official after a certain age. But I I think a more effective approach would be age limits on platforms like Facebook. A lot of the a lot of the world's problems would be resolved

16:06Rod Palmer if boomers weren't allowed to be on Facebook all day.

16:10Richard Greaser Yeah. Instead of a cap show like, hey, are you at least 13 years old? It's like, no, are you younger than 65? Because if you're older than 65, you have no business going on Facebook right now. There's,

16:26Rod Palmer yeah, I mean it's like one of one of the things that I think is really hard for people that are aging is that they oftentimes regress pretty dramatically as far as, like, their their ability to understand the world. Their their brains become

16:43Richard Greaser They become like brand new plebs. Yes. Brand new first cycle plebs. They they go from this like OG low time preference zen to like this quick regression back into being a first cycle pleb. And I don't... I don't... Some people are talking about like, how do we remedy this...

17:05Richard Greaser Phenomenon? I don't think you can. I think the only up... I think the only solution is to cut at age 65, you've got Medicare, you've got Social Security for now, but you immediately lose access to the timeline, to social media, to group chats, and you have to go into like a life of going back to McDonald's to have breakfast and coffee with the other boomers instead of being frightened by the timeline all day? Well I think a huge responsibility falls on the shoulders of children of boomers.

17:36Rod Palmer You know, when you're setting up your parents phones, they don't know how to use their cell phones and so they ask you to do it. And so you can put parental restrictions essentially on their phones. So you can limit how much time they have on Facebook or or limit they have to get approval for which apps they can download on the app store, you know, various things like that. Like, you know, good parents, they they restrict the the content that their children consume,

18:06Rod Palmer so that it's age appropriate. And... And maybe the...

18:10Richard Greaser Yeah. Maybe the solution here is not to ban the boomers from social media, but it's to put, like, bumpers, guardrails, Similar to like what AI does, guardrails on their timelines so that their algorithms never cross into seeing the news, seeing the timelines, seeing the videos coming out of Paris or is it the other hotspots?

18:34Richard Greaser Making it so they can no longer monitor the situation, raw and uncut, like they, like younger people who can handle it. Maybe the solution is making it so your parents log into social media, and the only thing they can see are ads and commercials for, you know, major corporate, you know,

18:54Richard Greaser consumption purposes. Like, we had essential businesses during COVID. We have essential commercials that only the boomers that the boomers still have access to. The boom boomers can still see Big Lots commercials. The boomers can still see, Kay Jewelers commercials. The boomers can still watch QVC. They can still see ads for Nostra Market. They can still see ads for, FOMO 21. They can still see ads for things like that where it's like, we want the boomers to keep... We can't be absolute... It's not that we want. We need the boomers to continue being the top consumers in The United States. We still need the boomers to buy trinkets. We still need the boomers to spend as much money as possible before they die and their estates get locked into probate.

19:40Richard Greaser So we need to make sure they're on the timeline seeing ads. But we have to limit all the other content because seeing ads or seeing videos of of of Paris burning is scaring boomers into not spending their money. The boomers need to be going to Las Vegas, gambling on the slot machines, and buying trinkets. They need to have their focus narrowed down to these essential tasks, and not be frightened by

20:10Rod Palmer world events. There's a few different approaches here. There is, the same balancing method which you're describing, and they have this. They have, like a YouTube for kids, function, which... They have a movie. Yeah. They they've got, like, Netflix for kids. They... You you can

20:29Rod Palmer create all these platforms, like, a special feature, Netflix for boomers or not... Or YouTube for plebs. They're boomer plebs. And that... That's an approach, but, you know, also, like, the the reality that we're quickly approaching is

20:47Rod Palmer the digital ID is coming. This is something the, the NeoCons have campaigned for a while. They want a digital ID. And so, you know, in order to use the Internet, you're gonna have to go to the DMV and get your Internet privileges,

21:05Rod Palmer approved, you know, every few years and and and take a test and, you know, have all of your personal identification tied to every platform that you're on and, you know, the the the social media platforms are gonna essentially act as digital flock cameras for your Internet usage. And,

21:26Rod Palmer I mean, this, this has been a contentious, topic in libertarian communities for a while is the function of a driver's license, but you know, it's one thing... One of the positive externalities that comes from it

21:42Rod Palmer is that the boomers have to test, periodically. It's different in every jurisdiction, but universally, when you hit a certain age, you have to go and get a driver's test, to ensure that you're not essentially, you know, blind and dumb and just gonna go ramming into people because, you know, old people in motor vehicles oftentimes don't mix in the same way that old people in the Internet. So

22:06Rod Palmer as the digital IDs come and there's restrictions and more monitoring on your Internet Internet activity, this is an opportunity potentially to, make boomers have to retest for their internet usage licenses.

22:22Richard Greaser And it could be a positive thing. And, like, what we're talking about right now is mostly American boomers. It this is a universal concept, but basically we're talking about US Boomers.

22:39Richard Greaser What do we do about Canadian Boomers? Because whatever you think about US Boomers, US Boomers are much more tethered to reality and rationality than Canadian Boomers. How do we... I mean, it's not our it's not our problem to solve, but how do Canadians

22:57Richard Greaser rein in their Boomers and protect themselves from the the the chaos and the

23:06Richard Greaser mayhem that the Canadian boomers who vote would, would reign up... Down upon all the other Canadians. Do we need harsher limitations? I mean, these boomers in Canada, their

23:20Richard Greaser climate is much more extreme. Like, the boomers whatever you think about the boomers in The United States, at least the boomers in The United States like to have cookouts, they like to go to Florida in the wintertime. They want the Canadian Boomers to get go to Florida in the winter because it is extremely taboo in that culture for them to come to The United States while Trump is President. So these Canadians are really stuck in their igloos or whatever they live in. And their their their tiny homes in Toronto that cost 700, you know, 7,000,000

23:53Richard Greaser USDT. Staring at a screen all day. It's all they do. And the CBC is kinda like a guardrailed sandboxed news organization for these boomers, but it's terrifying to them. Because they are seeing all kinds of like MAGA stuff, Mike Brock essays.

24:10Rod Palmer It's really scary for them. Well, Canadian boomers might become America boomers here relatively soon whether they like it or not. Donald Trump has been tweeting that Canada is going to become the fifty first state, which I'm not sure why... They're voting today. Alberta is voting today

24:26Richard Greaser on seceding from the rest of Canada. Yeah. Well, so...... Like a crazy tragedy on a... On Wainwright military ace in Alberta this weekend. They they they blew up their own pipeline with, with mortar fire

24:45Richard Greaser and it killed dozens of of Canadian soldiers.

24:49Rod Palmer Yeah. I think fixing Canadian boomers should be relatively simple. They just need to be subjected to, like, the early two thousands neocon propaganda. They need to, like, enjoy the July 4

25:05Rod Palmer and listen to Toby Keith and, you know, maybe go to, some rodeos and and and pray for their country and pray for their leaders. And, it's it's it's gonna be a hard shift as the Canadian government continues to fall. They're they're losing their religion, essentially. And they they need a religion to replace it

25:27Rod Palmer in one way or another, whether that becomes leftist politics and, you know, climate change in American government or they, become, like, neo conservative Christians,

25:42Rod Palmer evangelical Christians. It's kinda up to their choice. But I I I do think Toby Keith could definitely

25:50Richard Greaser reset their systems. I believe that too. I think that Canada desperately needs its own Toby Keith. I mean, could Brad Mills be cannabis Toby Keith or do they need a Toby himself?

26:06Rod Palmer Well, yeah, I mean, whether Brad Brad Mills is successful at at that or not, I think it's kinda up to the, people at Anthropic where Brad gets, you know, most of his input from. Theoretically, they could... The anthropic could make or break Brad in that role. I mean, Canada is just gonna have access to so many more resources becoming, an American territory, like they'll they'll have access to Dennis Porter

26:34Rod Palmer and and that's a pretty big game changer. If he gets involved in the in the Canadian politics, it's, But

26:41Richard Greaser we've been talking about this for years now and it really hasn't manifested. Dennis Porter seems pretty... I mean, Dennis Porter's taken a pretty big turn lately. He is turned on America First, he's turned on the conservative pro Bitcoin

26:59Richard Greaser crowd. He's siding with, like, AOC and some of the Democrats. He's very confident in the midterms. It's almost like we're seeing a dark Dennis Porter. We're seeing the dark, theomer Dennis Porter emerge. Like, people bullied him, called his announcements, nothing burgers. And, Dennis had this resilience. He was committed to orange pilling politicians

27:22Richard Greaser and to defending Bitcoin node runners rights, especially at the state level, for years, despite the hate, despite the vitriol that was lobbed against him very unfairly. He was kidnapped by the South or by the North Koreans, held hostage and forced to make announcements for Kim Jong Un. The Republican Party and the American Bitcoiners did very little to almost nothing to help him and to try to free him. And he is now

27:53Richard Greaser experiencing, like this rebel, he's Breaking Bad. This is like Breaking Bad, Dennis Porter. And, is all the good that he did for America, for American Bitcoiners,

28:05Richard Greaser for Node Runners, for self hosted wallet users, that can all be undone by a Breaking Bad Dennis Porter. And I don't know if that's priced in. Well, what is his,

28:20Rod Palmer Breaking Bad he stops advocating for Bitcoin or he just shills it in orange pills Democrats?

28:26Richard Greaser I think that he shills for Democrats and goes after all of the

28:37Richard Greaser advancements and progress that Donald Trump has, provided to Bitcoin in the past two years. He's gonna go potentially after treasury companies. He's gonna go after, World Liberty Financial, like he's

28:52Rod Palmer going to maybe like force some of these companies to dump on retail. Sounds like predator's wet dream. I don't know. I don't know what Dennis is going to do. I mean, I think, he... He's consistently on the timeline because he he gets accused of shilling for Democrats all the time and, he he always claims that he ultimately is bipartisan. And, I'm not worried about Dennis undoing

29:19Rod Palmer the progress because I I think if there's any progress in government,

29:23Richard Greaser if we have anybody to thank, it's it's Dennis. It's a double edged sword. I mean, if Dennis does break that and turn into dark Dennis Porter, I just I don't... It could it could wreak havoc like cancer on on the American... I mean, it could be it could it could equal disaster for big Bitcoin. And we don't really... We haven't really addressed big Bitcoin,

29:47Richard Greaser too deeply on this show because it's like, you know, big Bitcoin is like gravity. You can re and crash out of boundary all day, but, you know, if you walk off a cliff you're gonna fall and die. And if you cross Big Bitcoin,

30:02Richard Greaser you're gonna be flattened and smothered, smithery, there's no point in that. But, if there is one individual who could be like the stick and the spokes that that breaks up big Bitcoin, it could be Dennis Porter. That's true. I mean, big Bitcoin needs Dennis Porter at the end of the day. It's a, yeah, it's a symbiotic relationship.

30:23Rod Palmer Dennis needs Big Bitcoin to be able to make announcements at their conferences. Big Bitcoin needs Big... Or needs Dennis to make announcements at their conferences. It's very, mutually beneficial relationships that it... I I kinda keep things...

30:40Rod Palmer I think it keeps Dennis in check. But it is a... I mean, this is adversarial thinking, folks, and it's important to have adversarial thinking in regards to, Bitcoin's, most powerful advocates like Dennis of what happens

30:55Richard Greaser if they turn on you. And... That'll be the developing story that we'll have to be paying attention to. I mean, is this a

31:04Rod Palmer reflection of a network security issue? It's something fundamentally weak in Bitcoin's protocol that Satoshi Nakamoto didn't consider is, the power of Dennis Porter?

31:18Richard Greaser Yeah, I mean, people are worried about these frontier AI models, if we've gone into you in great detail, but... And they're worried about quantum computers, and they're worried about the security budget, and mining not being profitable but

31:36Richard Greaser nobody's... The Black Swan is what nobody's considering. In Dennisport of Breaking Bad could be very well be that Black Swan. But Larry Fink, I don't think that too many things... Clubs don't keep Larry Fink, a Black Rock, awake at night. But Dennis... Dark Dennis Porter

31:55Rod Palmer does. So what are your thoughts on Alberta? Are they going to, vote for independence?

32:01Richard Greaser No, I think it's too late for the vote today for them to become independent. They don't have enough infrastructure to support Tether because they need their own currency and they haven't they haven't put their boomers on social media guard sandboxes.

32:17Richard Greaser So I think it's too late for them to vote this year on secession. I think if they, if they bring, if they're, if they welcome Tether with open arms, they get Tron nodes running all throughout Alberta and Calgary and everywhere, and they get their boomers, sandboxed on social media. They could possibly, they could possibly turn the tide in a couple of years. But I don't think it's gonna happen today. I mean,

32:42Richard Greaser even though DTC Sessions has has pivoted to Sovereign Sessions, I don't know if his new platform has reached enough people in that area yet. They're not ready for Sovereign Alberta.

32:54Rod Palmer I don't think so either. Because, you know,

32:57Richard Greaser they're not really voting, not everybody there is voting for sovereignty, they're voting, a lot of them wanna become 50 per state, so they haven't even decided

33:07Rod Palmer how they're gonna handle that yet. Well, I mean, it it it seems like every time there's a secessionist movement like this, that the the best way to kill the movement is to put it to a vote. Right.

33:21Richard Greaser And people won't wanna hear this, but if anybody's gonna secede successfully via democracy in Canada, it's gonna be Quebec. The French Canadians are definitely going to do it before Alberta.

33:34Rod Palmer Are we gonna see, the riots in France spread to Quebec? It's very impossible.

33:42Richard Greaser The French Canadians, they really don't have their own sense of self or their own sense of culture, so they kinda... They look to Paris for a guide of how to identify. And I think the more they see plebs in Paris, riding,

34:01Richard Greaser the plebs in Quebec led by, you know, Francis Poulier. If Francis comes back to Quebec to lead a revolt and lead a secession

34:14Richard Greaser lead a secession movement, I think it's very possible that that could happen, in in short order. Especially once Bitcoin is fully operational again and their wallets were being, people trusted again. Well, this is,

34:29Rod Palmer yeah, I mean, Quebec's lack of identity has been seen in bulk Bitcoin wallet as they have looked to companies like Tether, companies like Aqua Wallet, companies like Blockstream for an

34:45Richard Greaser identity. The other the other topic today is... And we briefly spoke about it, rumors of, that Kim Jong Un has died. Have you seen these rumors? What do you make of this? Is this kayfabe?

35:03Richard Greaser Is this...

35:05Rod Palmer What is it? I think it's Call of Duty trying to market their new video game. That's what I think it is.

35:11Richard Greaser So, essentially, I was suspecting.

35:13Rod Palmer In the new Call of Duty video game, essentially, what happens is, there's a secession event and... Or succession event. There... The leader North Korea dies, and the new leader North Korea

35:25Rod Palmer invades South Korea. And something like this may play out in the near future as North Korea is really, ramping up economically and South Korea is ramping down and struggling. Like,

35:42Rod Palmer do do you see somebody, they they have been jailbreaking all the PlayStation fives, and this has just been really, really bad for company... Korean companies like Sony. It seems like people don't really want Samsung phones anymore.

36:02Rod Palmer There's been... The compliance have kind of stopped buying flat screen TVs. There was a time during COVID where... You remember how Black Friday used to be where the Pilots would just freak out over flat screen TVs? It... It's not like that anymore. Yeah.

36:19Richard Greaser I remember... Remember Sly Goomba was really excited to buy a flat screen TV and a PlayStation five, during this bull market, but the price never never reached his target,

36:32Richard Greaser and, you know, he's just, he's really been having the the bear market blues and he's kinda lost his passion for video games. I mean, Slagunba made a name for himself before his Bitcoin podcast by being a gaming streamer. And, he's, he just, he doesn't have the passion for it anymore.

36:51Rod Palmer I mean this is,

36:53Richard Greaser I think it happens. It's that TV is a mirror, you know, it is a reflection of the culture and the society we live in, and a lot of the plebs cannot handle looking in the mirror and seeing reality of the world around them. And as... And and part of that has has definitely affected flat screen TV sales.

37:15Rod Palmer I mean, this is something that happens, you know, pretty often is there... There's rumors about Kim Jong Un's health or or Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump or Joe Biden. You know, whoever the world leader is, there... There's discussion of it happening on the Internet. I I just think the timing of the the latest Call of Duty is really peculiar because

37:40Rod Palmer Call of Duty has really had a lot of issues selling their new products.

37:46Richard Greaser And, you know, it used for for many years. November was as much as it was like Thanksgiving in The United States, it was the release of the new Call of Duty. Everybody looked forward to November, sometimes October, because they wanted to play the new Call of Duty. The hardcore people would buy Call of Duty, they would keep good at it, they would prestige, and then all the younger children would get it for Christmas,

38:12Richard Greaser and they would get on and everybody would just slaughter the holiday noobs, the Christmas noobs on, on the online game when they when they got the new game. This year, everybody's anticipating Grand Theft Auto six. People are not anticipating Call of Duty.

38:30Richard Greaser Everybody wants Grand Theft Auto. And I think that Call of Duty had to... Had to go big with the marketing this year. They had to, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that the Call of Duty distributors

38:45Richard Greaser put a contract out, maybe on the assassination prediction markets to to have Kim Jong Un killed. Because we know that the Lazarus Group is very responsive to crypto prediction markets and all that stuff.

39:01Richard Greaser They may have been incentivized to take Kim Jong Un out, for a big enough bounty. And it would have been... It would be very, very, very unusual for a private company to to go this far,

39:17Richard Greaser but desperate times call for desperate measures.

39:20Rod Palmer Well, there's a lot of people that hate Kim Kim jogging in. He he is the undisputed Bitcoin president. And everybody's been rooting against North Korea for a long time for a variety of reasons.

39:38Rod Palmer And there... There's something that, you know, makes Westerners unhappy generally when they see that North Korean plebs can afford to eat and are in in good shape. And and the country has been

39:52Rod Palmer under extreme sanctions for its entirety of its existence since the the Korean War by the West, and that they've had to develop a sovereign lifestyle and a sovereign mindset.

40:07Rod Palmer They they have the the first ever strategic Bitcoin reserve and it seems like it's been paying off well for them as they have really taken this Bitcoin ethos. And, you know, a lot of people like to, shield Bukele as being a Bitcoin president, but Kim Jong Un can't do deals with the IMF nor does he want to because he's an actual... He's a he's a real Bitcoin president. And

40:36Rod Palmer when you're not playing ball with the IMF, the Fabians and and and individuals running the world, like, they will will not like you. So I find it very strange that Pep Cruz is so gung ho about El Salvador, when really he should be living in Pyongyang.

40:55Richard Greaser Are the blue light frequencies in Pyongyang keeping him away? Or is he just falling for the propaganda? Does he consider Pyongyang to be too Fabian?

41:08Rod Palmer Well, I mean, when when you look at satellite imagery of Pyongyang, it has the lowest blue light in the world. And to think... I don't know. Any... The plug crews is just so off the mark and and has been

41:24Rod Palmer for a long time. And it's just important for his listeners to to understand the the level of misunderstanding that he has around the world, that he wants to live in a in a place of freedom, in a place of of sovereignty, in a place of good health. It's... You know, the problem is with North Korea is they they don't...

41:47Rod Palmer South Korea is kinda this way too, but it is very different. They don't tolerate fat peep... And this is this is probably primary... One of the primary reasons why club crews can't do North Korea.

42:01Richard Greaser Well, primarily primarily the reason that bad people are taboo in North Korea is because Kim Jong

42:13Richard Greaser Un, it's considered a challenge to his authority to be a jolly, chowdy man in North Korea because the the leader, their leader is that, and it is a symbol of strength, it is a symbol of austerity. If Kim Jong Un... If these rumors are true,

42:33Richard Greaser it could signal a new era where it would be safe for, for club crews to move there,

42:41Rod Palmer to immigrate to Pyongyang. Definitely. I mean, Kim Jong Un is definite... I mean, he's... Compared to your average, American plaid, he's in very good shape as far as, you know, being overweight. But he is definitely the most overweight

42:60Rod Palmer person in North Korea. And this has this has been the way it's been for the entire Kim dynasty. Kim Jong il was this way as well. And you can't you can't be bigger than the North Korean leader, but in in... I guess this is, could

43:20Rod Palmer be a very strange situation. We we could be walking into unprecedented territory of what does North Korea look like with a leader that's not overweight. And there's been a lot of rumors that,

43:36Rod Palmer Kim Jong Un's successor is gonna be his daughter, and she... She's not fat. She's hot. I I mean,

43:43Richard Greaser it begs the question, like, what will a North Korea look like with a hot leader? Because you're right. Like, a lot of the a lot of the North Korean rituals, the North Korean political displays are based on

43:60Richard Greaser Kfabe, this... Not everybody in North Korea loves Kim as much as they are formed to show.

44:11Richard Greaser But if they had a hot leader, his daughter, most of the performance would be genuine. It wouldn't... It would be very... They... There's incentives would be aligned. They would be proud of their hot leader who's not fat, and it would make it would make doctor Jack Crews much less controversial there. But

44:31Richard Greaser Doctor. Jack Crews loves to let his tallow belly hang out and go barefoot and take deep pictures. North Korea's climate is a little different than El Salvador's. He would have to dress a little bit more modestly. Korea's a very cold place in general. If there's one thing Koreans do love, even though his

44:51Richard Greaser his his weight would be a problem, as we've already talked about with his conflict with with Kim, Koreans love white skin. They'll they, they bleach their own skin. They they're very, they wear they're very anti effort antithetical to the Bitcoin ethos of not wearing sunscreen. They wear lots of sunscreen.

45:10Richard Greaser They want to have white skin. So I worry that while maybe the problem would be solved, that he's not, he's not competing with Kim over who's the fattest, most prosperous. His white skin might be a threat because people there really worship the the white skin.

45:29Rod Palmer So maybe it's not maybe it's not a solution after all. Well, it would be a hard culture for him to operate because he's constantly, appreciated about going and getting in sunlight. And because they like light skin so much, part of the reason why is because being inside, not having a tan

45:47Rod Palmer shows that you're a part of a higher class and and the plabs are the ones that are inside. Or sorry, the plabs are the ones that are on the outside working the fields or whatever. And so, yeah, that would put him in significant conflict

46:06Rod Palmer culturally with mainstream Korean culture. As far as the overweight thing goes though, I think South Korea

46:16Rod Palmer has more body modification opportunities than anywhere in the world. The women there, they get more nose jobs than the women do in Orange County, California.

46:29Richard Greaser It would be interesting to see Doctor. Jack Crews, get into K pop. Would love to see you. K pop Crews,

46:38Rod Palmer you know? Yeah. I guess, like, looking into the week ahead, there's gonna be a lot of discussion around the bond market. Plaids are, continue to be in a perpetual state of, crash out. I saw that Darkseid, won the,

46:56Rod Palmer doom or dick measuring contest. I'm not sure entirely what that means. I don't know if you could explain that, Ron.

47:02Richard Greaser Yeah. You know, the the third annual Doomer Dick Measuring Contest is just a... Is is a simple contest of... There's Doomer Dick Mogging, the hardest, and Dark Side, he won it this year. There's nobody who's got a, you know,

47:22Richard Greaser more Doomer outlook than him. So it's, you know, congratulations, it is it's not easy to be

47:31Richard Greaser such a massive doomer. But he a nobody doesn't like Darkseid. I mean, he he's no matter how much show Carl Lazar locks in, in his doomer tendencies, he doesn't he does not shy away from his,

47:49Richard Greaser from his his doomer cult outlook. No matter how much he's isolated, or how much people mock him, he stays with his doomer outlook. And it is admirable to a certain extent. Absolutely.

48:03Rod Palmer Well, is there anything that you're going to be watching closely this upcoming week, I guess, the protests in France, clubs and pears? Yeah,

48:13Richard Greaser clubs and pears, I'll just I'll be interested to see how this all shakes out and how it is exploited and leveraged by the political class for the midterms,

48:27Richard Greaser and for the Israeli election. Because that's where I think we're gonna see the most, the most opportunity.

48:35Rod Palmer What are your thoughts on the Israeli election? You think that, Bibi's gonna win again? I think that,

48:41Richard Greaser I don't know how to say it, Gail Eiscondot that might be totally wrong. I think that he's got, best chance to win. I think Bibi's pretty unpopular there and unless unless, stuff heats up in The Middle East, and and then there's more action towards Iran.

49:00Richard Greaser I think it's... I think there is gonna be regime change in Jerusalem.

49:05Rod Palmer Well, I guess we'll have to see, I don't know what the world looks like without BB, controlling all the puppet strings.

49:12Richard Greaser That's the biggest question of law, I think. Who do the plebs blame if they can't blame BB? Left stay tuned. Maybe they'll blame big Bitcoin.

49:22Rod Palmer I think that's a given. Well, you got anything else before we wrap this one up? Nope. Nope. I think,

49:30Richard Greaser keep monitoring the situation and stay tuned.

49:33Rod Palmer Last thing I have before we go, I saw sir Spencer was commenting in the booth saying that, he used to engage with, many libertarian people that we were discussing last episode, Gary Johnson types and he kind of firsthand saw the decline of the Libertarian party

49:54Rod Palmer from its peaks of, getting 2% of the vote in presidential selection. I just thought that was interesting.

50:02Rod Palmer Anyways, folks, thank you for listening to this edition of Beagle Weekly, and we will catch you soon. Set.

50:11Unknown Is this real? They wanna replace us with AI? Yeah. Right. Let's replace them first. Let's replace them first. Bro, pulls up in his Tesla model three, hits his vape and smiles like he hit the lottery. He says your little hometown's what we're building next. Hometown said no, but my Jewish lawyer is about to flex as they're bringing jobs, like shit, all three. And we're gonna need to use all that electricity.

50:48Unknown Negative aura immaculate cap. Rope, rope. Put a server where the creek was at. Now my rent's on demon time. Power build too,

52:18Unknown Everyone around me is acting like money is broken. My cousin told me to take out a roll so I can burn more tokens, chess. Turning in the cows, gambling the checks away. Used to dream my owning houses, now they dream of parlay plays. Robots taking jobs faster than prime delivery. Boys are priced out of being man. Can't afford chivalry. They say we're scared of working, I'm just scared it doesn't pay. Can't conceive. Fly cameras, panettear. Peter Thiel knows when I blade. They wanna make me obsolete

53:04Unknown touch grass. All I wanted was to escape the permanent underclass. But maybe I just need to learn how to own nothing and be happy. Fuck that shit. I just need a bump of Coke.

53:28Unknown Let's go tear down some flock cameras.
