If you didn’t get a chance to listen to yesterday’s podcast, we’ve produced a transcript below - a little rough but it will give you some insights into what’s happening. Big things are afoot and we are almost ready for the next phase of Rational Ground to take root.
TRANSCRIPT FROM RATIONAL GROUND PODCAST, JUNE 13, 2022
Sorry we didn't catch you Friday we are busy doing some really interesting things we are not yet quite ready to reveal everything that we're doing but I wanted to get your feedback because this will give a hint as to where things are happening
We want the launch what we're anticipating to be big and positive… we want it to be impactful on people there so we're going to ramp that up and I'll let you know how that all comes together.
So here's what we're going to do let me walk you through some of the conversations that I've had with members of team reality had a chance to get together with some of them over the weekend and it was great.
Now first I have to tell you you know my personal journey through the Covid pandemic, losing clients trying to figure out what I'm doing from here all of a sudden realizing I have a pretty good skill set that matches for debunking some of the craziness that was out there on the numbers.
And then that led to more and more things finally we realized we're going to need some real warriors and soldiers in the trenches and that's when we all got together and made Rational Ground.
A ragtag bunch of Battlestar Galactica ships in the space, the analysts, the activists, we even have doctors, and it's grown many fold over and every day more and more people are coming to Team Reality.
As we call it and I think it's been an interesting ride so what's next for team reality where does it go from here if we've spent all this time debating and frankly we are now winning all the arguments around whether it's lockdowns masks some of the vaccine issues that we're anticipating all these things coming to a head.
…I've had actually people come to me and say well “are you still going to be talking about Covid?” Well yes Covid is waning as far as the pandemic goes
Much to the chagrin of people on team apocalypse the other team on this side and dr. Fauci and the rest of the people who brought us this ilk but the impact of it the leftovers.
They need some cleanup right and one of the things I'm very thankful for is the friendships that I've made. I've made more close friendships over these past two years than I had in the previous 20.
And the reason was pretty evident this was a very unique time with lots of emotion lots of opportunities to act together to find like minded people right.
Whenever I get together at one of these confabs - sometimes you'll have a san diego gathering there's other gatherings around the country where people will get team reality…
And you'll start talking and you realize what people most appreciate is these are sane people that think like I do right isn't that awful now that you go through society and you don't know if you could talk about the subject…
Right, like imagine bringing up to one of your neighbors masks or vaccines taboo can't do that because you don't know it's funny you have you had that conversation moment where you're talking with someone new…
Maybe it's a colleague maybe it's a friend a neighbor and you drop some hints at certain things and then one of you gets braver and says the masking on the kids is just awful…
I know right best friends for life right I mean there are seriously people I met this weekend that I would take a bullet for and I hadn't met them in person because I know what they would do for me…
I know what I would do for them and they've done it too and we've been in the trenches when scott atlas was sent to the white house and we thought that might be a really good harbinger of things we can make an impact…
If you ever want to feel good about what you did and why you were at the heart of this team go back and do a youtube search for Scott Atlas at the white house…
Those pressers were amazing he handled masterfully the press because they didn't have a clue what they're doing and he washed down a bunch of folks like dr. Fauci and dr. burke's who would gladly weld you inside your home and apartment if they had the chance
But of course lost the election and he was out too so here are some of the thoughts let me just give you some of the post pandemic if we can call it that
Feelings that people have and what they want to see and this is from people who are what we call og rg's original gangsters from the rational ground group that has grown several fold over
And these are sometimes newcomers who are recently intact here but have a lot of experience perhaps some credentials even so there's a lot of anger caused first of all
There's a lot of anger towards the people that caused the debacle we've talked about this right how the idea was well this was somehow came from china
And it's a global pandemic no everything was maximized to make this the maximum impact what do I mean by that well these people these people are waiting in the wings…
If you think I'm kidding let me play for you this little clip here I just had it where to go hang on this is of dr. Fauci and this is an interview from December 2019.
Okay there was hints we were hearing some things about this but it wasn't global news headline news net about the stuff happening to covet here all right
It had just sort of taken place but here he is in an interview and listen to what he says about what he's excited about:
There we go malaria tuberculosis hiv these are things that are there and then the other thing that I aspirationally hope to be able to encounter is the ability to rapidly respond to something brand new
Whether it's a brand new pandemic or as you mentioned a brand new attack upon us deliberately by bioterror aspirationally hope to encounter right this was their super bowl
You have to know that right and that's one of the kindest interpretations I have of the epidemiologists and the virologists who just went completely overboard
All right was that well this was their super bowl and they wanted to caution across the board right better safe than sorry it was their mantra but in the end
They didn't know what they were talking about and of course if you're playing a game that you've never been on the field for right most of these epidemiologists have never seen these type of pandemics before
Ever in their lifetimes not even Dr. Fauci necessarily right and there's no muscle memory for this thing they had to make it up as they went along and they were seriously unprepared for it
Right so that was one of the things that I heard is that people want a bit of retribution right there's anger amongst rational ground people and among team reality that they want some accountability
And so we're going to try to steer that anger into vying for accountability and the reason is I've told my folks from the beginning when the pandemic started waning down
And it was clear from the FOIA request that Dr. Fauci was just a political beast and the gain of function issues all sorts of things highest paid I mean
Just the mountain of evidence we have against Dr. Fauci he's still there the question was I want to see him frog marched into jail right no I told him it's not going to happen
They shouldn't set your expectations to that but even I have it on good authority from credentialed experts in the space that he needs to go he needs to be toppled
He needs to leave that organization that he's been heading for 40 plus years right and the reason why is that there's such a stalemate involved there
No one wants to cross him because he holds all the purse strings of grants and everything else there and when you do try to counter him you basically are just ignored
Or worse yet you end up dead no I'm just kidding but here's Kary Mulis the creator of the pcr test who sadly died 2019 he's talking about Dr. Fauci
What is it about humanity that wants to go to all the details and stuff and listen guys like fault you get up there and start talking he doesn't know anything really about anything
And I say that to his face nothing the man thinks you can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope and if it's got a virus in there
You'll know it he doesn't understand electron microscopy and he doesn't understand medicine he should not be in a position like he's in most of those guys up there on the top are just total administrative people and they don't know anything about what's going on at the bottom
So that was the creator of the pcr test because he knew that sauce was trying to use these tests for all sorts of things they were never designed for and this video was taken
I think in the early ninety s and I think he's talking about Dr. Fauci and his efforts in the 8th epidemic and everything else that happened there's a lot just reminding you
I'm playing these codes to remind you that there are people that want accountability and there's also a need to get rid of the figurehead that brought this to bear
I think also as someone commented from our group he said I know there's going to be vindication for us but I'm not going to be alive 100 years from now
So I want to taste that now so you have to sort of balance your desire for schadenfreude the german term for taking joy in the destruction of your enemies
Right but you also to have balance it with getting things done so I think that's one of the things we've talked about how we have some good insight that should the republicans take over in November
That there's going to be hearings on what transpired with the pandemic there has to be it has to be accountability and a lot of people were bringing up some good points like
Well with the economy still tanking and probably still tanking by them people think well this is just a distraction from the real issues well folks
I hate to tell you this the pandemic response is why we're in this mess right if you look at overall inflation and goods your services the services
The food the airline tickets the gas and everything else that you pay for because of the pandemic they printed about 40% of all the money that's ever existed
All the dollars that have ever existed in the world 40% of that was printed in those last two years we've spent I think the number is above $10 trillion now
Something like that on Covid response stuff whether it was money to schools money to pharma money to the PPP obviously that was a big part of it which was we just kicked people out of their jobs and said they had to stay home
Employment went to 14% and we need to sort of compensate people because this wasn't their fault okay I get it but now we're facing that because the fed then increased rates by about 5%
So if you take that you take like 40% -5% that's 35% that's about the inflation rate that we've seen over the last year or two years on this thing and that's where it comes from
If you have more of something its value goes down right if I have a really valuable Picasso right I might be able to sell that for a million dollars
But let's say that he just spent all of an afternoon doing the same painting over and over again 1000 times now those show up at a warehouse somewhere
My painting is not worth so much anymore right because you can get it elsewhere it's the same sort of thing with monetary inflation when you inject more money into the system
Your dollar that you hold onto is worth less that's why you might be really excited to go find an old dollar bill from let's say 1880 but it's still
Even though collectors might buy for something else it's still worth only a dollar it's worth a lot less it could buy a lot more back in 1880 than it can today
That's inflation so it is absolutely pertinent to the discussions on the hearings we hope they have in senate in congress when we talk about why we need to focus on why we need accountability here
Because that was one of the things they never really touched on anything they never looked and said gee I wonder if we could determine how many adverse deaths and reactions we would have if employment goes to 14%
Well curiously enough there's a study on that there was an economist demographer who did a long term study on this and found that for every 1% uptick in unemployment
You get between 20,040 thousand new deaths over the course of the next ten years because people die of depression alcohol abuse drug overdoses loss of insurance
Loss of health care that's what happens it went to 14% and right there that's in many cases more than all the deaths of Covid all there just that 14%
It really impacted all of human interactions so the conversation over the weekend was I want accountability I want retribution why don't we steer that towards accountability
Okay and I think one of the goals we're going to have and one of the vehicles that we're going to be talking to you in the next it's going to come quickly
It's going to come here in the next two weeks and we're going to be basically launching some efforts to help maximize this moment in time where we're pushing to a pivotal point in the election cycle and then going to 2023 and making sure we capture stories that people have given so that we can give those testimonies to congress there
And one of the other problems we talked about was how do we make sure that the big pivot there after the anger is sort of spent under you is like okay
Well how do we make sure this doesn't happen again right that's the other key factor so accountability is one the second one is making sure it doesn't happen again
And we're not quite sure how best to do that I mean the challenge is this the lockdowns the shutdowns all the 6ft of social distancing and later the masks and the businesses that were essential
The businesses that weren't all of that happened from the top and unfortunately it happened from the trump white house mike pence owns a lot of that responsibility
He was in charge of the task force and he sort of drew it there but they basically scared all those folks and thinking 2 million people will die if you don't do x
So they shut down the country for two weeks and then for another 40 days or whatever it was but then all the power trickled down to the state governments and to over 30 health directors in all the 3200 counties that we have here in the country
And the hot potato that everyone experienced here in san diego for example we'd go to the county and we'd say hey I don't think this social distancing is really working
Well I don't think there's any effective residents that lockdowns work why are you you know putting up padlocks on my kids swing set at the local park
And they would say look I'd love to help you but this comes from the state then you go to the state and the state says well the county has all the local power they need to make these determinations
So you go back to the county and the county says we're just following cdc guidelines and so this terrible terrible pandora's box opened unleashing these 3000 health directors
All of them unelected right so you have no recourse to really get rid of them and that was the main problem that I've heard from numerous sources there was no way to fire Fauci and that's a serious sort of reform that we need to look at
But going back to that sort of pandora's box all these individual stations one of the problems that we're going to have to have is pushing away so that people can look at hey
This executive order is still in place we should roll that back right this county official has still got massive unchecked powers and we may take places like Florida as a template over there so Florida for example has a law that they passed in there that basically says if a county elected official can declare an emergency but only for seven days and after that it has to go under review from the state or something like that which is interesting
Right I don't know if it's the solution but there's something like that governor DeSantis just passed into law a critical piece which is that basically it allows you to go visit a loved one who is dying in the hospital
Now when you get into the details it's not as hard fast and locked as we would like it but that's the general attitude we want to see is more of those sort of this was a patient's rights all that we need to push through
We need to find something that's sort of overarching there so one finding accountability two being able to roll back and whack them all all the unelected health officials and trying to deal with all that fallout there and then helping out the new majority understand how they can make this happen how they can do this through hearing and everything else there and then we're going to give tools we're going to have tools down to the county level
We have one of my good friends who is in Colorado and he walks us through the processes of how he does his incredible foil right freedom of information act and different states have different regulations
They have different things but we want to show people how easy it is to submit those in many ways it may take you a while to get those back but when they do come back
There's lots of information there because undergirding all this this was a key point of the discussion we had too and this is something that we've harkened back to for two years now
Bad data right and one of the first articles I wrote back in march of 2020 was I think the title was the coronavirus dashboards will kill us all long before the virus ever will
And that's because of the things we've talked about the data lag right I mentioned how over in Colorado this was like in may 2020 I used it as an example
And they said 200 people died over the weekend in Colorado from covid-19 I said no that didn't happen over the weekend and people in Colorado yeah
Was I saw in the news they said 200 people died over the weekend no those were 200 deaths that were reported on Monday after the weekend was there because your bean counters went home
They have lives they clock out of their local health operations on Friday they come back in oh we got a bunch of faxes we got a bunch of emails from all these hospitals saying these many died
And then you go to the hospitals and the hospital say hey I've got to send that email to the county guy here this morning on Monday I got to get the deadline
How many people died in the hospital this day well over the last five days because I think that was the last time I gave his report john about ten people died
Okay let me send that in so ten deaths from one hospital that happened over the weekend no that happened over the last two weeks or more right and so that sort of data issue is something we're going to come across
We're finding more and more that we need to do a cdc audit so that's something we're going to be calling for as well as trying to get them engaged in what that means
Then I think part of the thing is finding converts in places that you might not expect because we're going to need a lot of local energy and a lot of local time
One of the challenges that we had and we'll talk about this a little bit was there was a general cowardice among the population okay and I think it was distinct
A lack of bravery maybe that's a better way to put it but there was also like look I've got to live my life right I've got to get some things done
And I can remember this myself there are some people on team reality and rational ground who will never wear a mask and just vowed they would never fly a plane because they never flying a plane toward the pinnacle because they didn't want to wear a mask
I understand that there are days when I have dutifully gone into a grocery store in the middle of a pandemic not wearing a mask until someone told me to put one on
And then even then I might ignore them but there's days like I don't have the energy to find anyone today so I just put the mask on right and so one of the things where we're trying to do is find those little corners where the pandemic is still a real thing and still
Like there's a lot of cowardice a lot of fear one of the big places college campuses to date like I saw just yesterday so ridiculous it was a graduating class at Harvard medical school
It's outside everyone's in ropes and every single doctor in the crowd is wearing a mask in june 2022 and I just go these are our future doctors who are we kidding
We're screwed if that's the case right so we need to go to college campuses and frankly they are one of the few bastions right now in education where they say you absolutely need to get double
Triple backs and now the data is in and it's not just our thinking or conspiracy we have evidence directly from the cdc now that there are significant increases in myocarditis and heart related diseases from MRNA vaccines
Especially in young males and now these colleges they don't care they don't look at the data they don't think they mask people up and they just send them off into the world
That's the demographic that we need to go after especially because one of the things we're talking about and this will get to some of our last points here where we talk about
Like what happened right how did we lose all these things overnight and I think we have some ideas around the family that we'll talk about we hope to empower the family
But once you get through like grade school you send your kids off to high school then you send them off to college everything you did is just undone there
Right and talking to some college students who were with us there at some of our conversations they mentioned how a lot of it is just fear driven right
There's a real reward system in place for virtue signaling like that right let me kick you about that that'd be crazy right so those are all the things that were like
No they would have rebelled in a significant way so I'm interested to see where things will end up there but that was another point of discussion which is just like
Can we go after the college crowd and what can we do to help fix that so to review we talked about we want to sort of channel the rage that you feel I know you all feel it right there
Towards Fauci towards burke's towards those other people and channel it into a momentum of accountability we believe that that accountability will come with a changing of the guard here in November and that we can help assist the house and the senate when they have hearings on the covid pandemic
Which is absolutely attributable to the panic and the pain that we feel right now in inflation and the economic woes and then we need to do more clean up
Right I mean the shards of the world is basically crashed around us and just like an example it took four decades for the climate activist crowd the global warming crowd
To convince you that what you breathed out every day was killing the planet it took the covet crowd maybe four weeks to convince you that while you're breathing out would kill everyone else
We know now that's a complete falsehood and that fear was completely unfounded and so that's the whole thing we're trying to get to is how do we assist now after we go through accountability
After we have these hearings after we have some like the head of the stake is gone now people can rest because just a perfect example dr. Fauci and former director of NIH
He just retired dr. collins they hold the purse springs for massive grant monies and frankly we boosted those up in budgets I think it almost doubled the amount of grant money that they're going to be giving out to people
Can you imagine if you wanted to do a rigorous mask study and we've been talking about this there is no significant mass study that looks like the particle size that we've been talking about
You're not going to get grant money that's not going to be hart of the narrative so those things need to happen because you cannot have someone who's directing a pandemic and has a very specific policy in mind holding the purse strings for actual science that needs to get done in a rigorous
Unimpeachable way they're not going to let that happen they're not going to let that happen perfect example I always go to with dr. Fauci FOIA requests come back
We realize in the host of that spring 2020 there's a lot of stuff we could spend hours on his email responses about when it came in late march early april
About gain of function research right but this one is actually just a little bit more understandable and pretty simple you had mRNA vaccines and found she was hot on that
We had it from the fiscal ceo he says yes the united states asked us to put together the mRNA vaccine we didn't have a lot of experience with that they said
But we did it anyway so they went to mr. aa and that's what they wanted to see j and jay took a rather traditional approach towards how to deal with their vaccine
Towards the covid 19 virus and so there's a set of emails someone from the Pepsi foundation calls up okay and he sends an email to dr. Fauci
We're so glad that you're at the helm here everyone is just super thrilled I want to talk to you about a position maybe you can help us find someone to fill it
Right and so he immediately emails back to his admin assistant says oh book 15 minutes on monday for this important right next email within an hour
I think or so is from the vice president of development for jnj doctor Fauci I wanted to talk to you and see if you have some time to sit down and we could tell you the updates on the j and j vaccine
Where we are with things dr. Fauci right back I would but quote my time is not my own congress decides everything I do oh man the guy hates j and j
He wanted his way done and if he didn't you got dinged so that's what accountability needs to happen right the data issues we talked about being able to overhaul that whole thing and work through that
Then as we get going there are these tangential opportunists who are out there we've talked about the WEF we've talked about the who and maybe you've heard the term ESG
Okay that is the term that's used for the financial systems and for companies that people will use to ding you if you don't live up to the social and economic impact
So ESG stands for environmental social governance criteria okay so it's a set of standards and it's supposed to be for a company's behavior if you are a socially conscious company
You will have x y and z your logo will turn to a rainbow in june I'm being a little facetious but not much and you can see this already taking place
Tesla for example was listed on one of the big indexes and they were pulled and why were they pulled well they didn't live up to it was the s p 500
Their ESG index they were initially in there and then they got pulled because they weren't living up to it this used to be a pie in the sky thing biden put in place
And the senate confirmed him someone who was really hot on the ESG and just has gone to the sec so for certain sec for actual securities and exchange commission stuff
You need to jump through some hoops and show that you're socially conscious and environmentally conscious the climate change stuff is coming next and all these same folks who told you to your face and they're just open about it
We intend to bend modernity to our will as dr. fauci says or as claud schwab says we are going to change the world or as the ceo of blackrock says we're all in the case of changing behavior
I wish I was kidding I wish this was some type of weird conspiracy theory that we used to talk about in the 80s but it's not they're just straight up about it
One of the wef people I think last year she said imagine a world where you own nothing that's what they want they don't want you to own anything they talk about the value of insects as protein over meat
They talk about being able to get rid of the combustion engine so you'll have to buy $50,000 cars and then more and more kids in africa will have to dig even harder for those rare earth metals
For those big batteries right and then they basically just say look your life is probably not going to be meaningful and that's okay I'm not kidding
We have world economic forum this is the title of one of the articles they have on here psychologists say a good life doesn't have to be happy or even meaningful
So you will eat insects you will drive a battery car on the backs of the tortured backs of african children who are digging up all this rare earth material
And you won't own anything and then we're going to be sending in signals so that we'll get the latest release of the vaccine in your arm from the pill that you have implanted there
Now again that last part sounds conspiratorial until the ceo of pfizer admits yeah we have some technology as we take a pill that has a little transmitter on it
It tells you if the pill has been taken imagine the compliance scenarios quote unquote imagine the scenarios for compliance I tell you sometimes in all walks of life
You'll come across people who are just not quite grounded yet right so early on we talked to some other families in local regions who were part of team reality
And they were really upset about the vaccine so they latch on the news they can find and they literally were telling me about the vaccines and then inserting like some device of it and it has 5g or whatever else there
I'm like okay that's probably a bit much but when the ceo advisor basically confirms yeah we could put a transmitting device okay I don't know what to say
It's not conspiracy anymore right so that's going to be a key part is trying to understand how we counter that entire culture so after we're done with clean up
After we've done with accountability after we've done with doing the hearings after we've got a way to deal with the 3000 crazy health inspectors who are unelected ruining your life on the local
State and county levels then we have to go for the real issues we have to get to the root of the matter because this will grow back and worse if we don't stop it
Because they're going to do it with climate change they're going to do with esg and we've got to find people that can be sort of converted to the cause and understand what they can do
When it comes down to it there are two big issues that we want to tackle and this is more of a medium to long term goal but it was really curious because I was in a room and I had a bunch of people that I've known online and I could say
Truly all these people have forgotten more about covid than most 90% of the people know about covid we've been out that long you have to waste a lot of time in this space to really get the knowledge that you need
And that's how it is with almost any expertise you're going to spend like 3 hours on a chart you get to the end of the chart you say well this is ridiculous
This doesn't help me at all right and those are the things that these people know but when it came down to what we talked about it everything steered around two issues
One was the constitution there was a great conversation that senator cruz had with a nominee for a judicial position and he asked them point blank does the constitution allow any provision for these rights being rescinded even during a pandemic
And the judge has to answer no he doesn't and that was the most ridiculous thing our system broke right I remember sitting down with someone here in san diego and she knew this town left and right
She knew exactly how to get things done and she said what we need to do is we need to go and file a citizen's case and you can do that through a citizens court
And there's a citizens court in california and every county so go look it up the citizens court will not be convenient during the pandemic for safety reasons
So we had no recourse beyond that right because we can't go to nathan our county supervisor who was running the show can't go to wilma wootin who tells me that I should worry
I should just consider everyone around me who has covet and that way I'll leave a sheltered life and be scared to even go to the hospital all these things will come to pass
Okay and we did have a recourse there so we needed to figure out what happened here and what happened is the constitution broke and even when it finally got up to the supreme court
We had a few local cases with one here in san diego who said the bill of rights our constitutional rights don't take a hiatus or a vacation during this thing
Right and they were quoting I think justice gorsuch and a few other ones saying look this isn't right but the damage was done and they acted so slowly
Take for instance the cdc who took it upon them their own power to say well housing is a health risk if you do not have housing therefore you are at risk
And because you are at risk for your health it there falls under the category for the cdc where we can issue an exclamation that you cannot kick your bum renter out of this place
Now I get it you want to make some provisions because people had income lowing and everything else but that went on for almost two years and then it got to the supreme court and the supreme court said
Yeah cdc doesn't have that power I don't know why they why do they bring themselves that power that's ridiculous so he asked the supreme court well
Do you want to do something about that they said well look they don't have the power it's clearly but it's expiring anyway so let's just let it go out and we're like could you rule on this because they're going to come back with more sure enough
They come back with more they say well we have no shamandy on vaccines and they go well let's put that aside right in all these steps somewhere along the way our constitution broke people did not uphold their part of law so we need to make sure that doesn't happen again
The other big pillar and this will be a big part of what we do going forward was about the family falling apart okay when you look at these mass shootings when you look to the fentanyl overdoses when you look at all these issues so much of it comes down to a really tragic family incident or some terrible decisions
Right and so being able to bolster the family we think is one of the pillars to make sure this isn't here so case in point everyone said well everyone's going to lock down
There's going to be lots of babies made at home no that wasn't the case at all was it the birth rate fell even more here in california per month almost 30,000 fewer births in the state
Crazy what do you do with that right I just put out an article this morning showing that the 9th grade enrollment for the state of california is down almost 4%
What do you mean what's lots of people left the states and lots of people going elsewhere in other states the enrollment for 9th grade was through the roof
11% increase in some states why people moving there but more importantly there are a lot of kids who either because they failed out or because their parents kept them back because they were doing zoom school
They're just now enrolling them in high school isn't that crazy what a damaged devastation why would a parent decide hey you know what you're just going to stay home
You're not going to go to school at all I'm not going to have any on zoom you can get the disease over zoom be sure to wear a mask and this is the crazy that had to happen there
And so we know that there was a fear there was a lack of confidence in our citizenry to say
One
I'm going to stand up for our constitutional rights and then two america is an enormously powerful exciting opportunistic country and I want to be part of that
More importantly I want to bring people into this world and say why does that matter don't we have too many people in the world no the one thing we're actually running out of is people
And if you are a big liberal democrat this should matter to you this should matter perhaps even more because how are you going to pay for all those lavish social programs
Right you've got no kids and grandkids to stick the bill to and that's a quote from mark stein's book he's awesome on this topic if you want to read a great book
It's from ten years ago plus called america alone and what you have to realize is that the issues with birth rates is vitally important and we need to build the confidence in the family
So why is it for example that the financial world and the technical world all speak language of a set of islands off the north west coast of europe right
Why did they get to choose all the major languages across the country why is everything in english across the world and the reason is that they were the first to conquer infant mortality
Doctors coming away from working on their cadavers hey maybe I should wash my hands before I give birth to this infant here oh all of a sudden the mortality rate for infants dropped dramatically
And by mid century mid 19 century by 1850 the median age the average age of a person in england was 15 years old and so the queen she had tons of manpower to do something with
So they went all across the world and that's why they say the sun never set on the queen's kingdom australia to india off to hong kong right and they did some incredible things
They did some challenging things too we all know that but they did some incredible things india would not be the place it was today if britain was there to send it into the modern world
Right and that was the case right meeting each day in england is probably 36 35 the median age of germany and russia in world war ii was about 1819 years old or so now it's up to 32
Russia it's 42 these are not people that are going to be taking over the world anytime soon okay because they don't have the people and that's what you need
You need people to actually run things the great quote from mark stein's book he says look if you're a revolutionary if you got eight revolutionaries and they're all over 80
Yeah maybe they can toss them all tall cocktail and get back across the street before the flames melt their plastic hip but if you have 30 million and they're all under 30
You're in business so that's china right no it's not china china is going to have a lot of problems coming up because they chose the one child policy
So they have lots and lots of boys because not only do they choose one child policy had a rigorous abortion policy that families chose if they got pregnant with a girl
Literally you have nine figures I think it's over 100 million chinese men who are young men in their thirtys they don't have any prospects for a spouse in china
If you're a girl then you basically have your pick of the litter they're in jim daisy they review resumes of quarters and so it's a really interesting scene to see there
And so when we look at that and you realize most of the decisions in life start with a joke knock knock who's there and if no one's there it's game over
So who is like that today well the median age of the gaza strip is 15 years old the birth rate in the us here dropped below 2.1 I think we're at 1.91
.8 that's not replacement levels two births for every woman what is a woman I'll tell you later and then in like tiny little yemen this backwards extreme muslim dominated country that gave birth basically to osama bin laden
Where he was radicalized there and hid until he launched 911 tiny little yemen maybe the size of a slightly bigger than georgia as far as an area goes
They'll have a population equal to russia by mid century okay they will surpass because russia is dying and these other countries they're not going to have the manpower
And so you have as markstine puts it nicely that extreme muslims and the islamic states have a somewhat fractious relationship with the tenants of western society
To put it nicely right imagine what the chances of gay marriage getting approved if six of the nine supreme court justices are from a muslim state now
That seems foreign to us here in the united states but that's what's happening in europe and so you have these real challenges and people are blind to it
We were noting someone noted over the weekend all these pride parades going on and at one point the crowd cheered because some young kids had gotten some big ukrainian flags and they were running down the street with them
I hate to tell you guys but ukraine doesn't recognize same sex marriage I don't know if you do that or not right so the strange just obtuse that we have that is there is what we need to address
Right because people still think oh my gosh I can't have any more kids because it will kill the planet that's literally what that college age group thinks
They worry about that but then on top of that we need to convince them that having a family is a fantastic thing and it can build and lead to a prosperous life
Right that's exactly how england came into its prosperity before they started washing their hands these doctors delivered the babies and thought about infections and how things transferred
And you had a lot of kids and most of them died before they were end of use to you or your family or your farm or otherwise and so we need people to move this planet forward
Maybe what I should do is like jenny I know you're listening maybe we should do is we should put like you know how you can do carbon credits right
Like if you're taking a big private plane over to davos and you can say I bought 30,000 carbon credits which go to plant 30,000 trees therefore I have offset my carbon footprint from this massive plane ride
No what we do is we say well jenny and I have eight kids between us we count our replacements replacing our kids we were done with that in the 90s
Except for january I guess it was early 2000s but I was done by 97 I had already replaced but now we've got some extra kids I think I got a good financial future
I'm just thinking through this jenny we could actually like who wants to adopt the stat of my child for their own no because you need to have kids
They're awesome I love them I missed them over the weekend they're awesome it was our first time that jenny and I had taken some time we actually loved the kids with the college girl
The 14 year old and a college friend and they did great they did great but we missed the kids right and you got a lot of them but I'm telling you
What we need to do is fix the constitution we need to fix that sort of family falling apart and that was the conversation this weekend so where is this going
Well stay tuned we're going to have some more conversation on that thank you guys for joining us today I will take some calls on wednesday I'm hoping wednesday
But I think by friday we're going to have some big launches here definitely before the 4 july because this is going to be a big patriotic fanfare we're going to help fix the short term problems with the covid clean up
We're going to hold people accountable so this never happens again we're going to be overhauling all the data systems and trying to put things in place
Give templates to local activists and county and state representatives so that they can make sure and clean up and make sure this never happens again and then we're going to work and try to address the core issues
Our constitution was not upheld by our elected officials nor frankly by our citizenship and we need to teach people about that and along with that the core family unit needs to be bolstered
It's a messy thing out there I always think back to the bible okay I remember someone taught me this lesson in a really interesting way because the world is crazy and messy and it's difficult
But you have to put out some good principles as you best you can in leviticus it talks about god says well in the correct way of doing things the firstborn shall receive the inheritance
They shall receive the priesthood they shall also receive everything that the father has the firstborn should be granted all of those things right that was sort of the mosaic law or the law that they had
But when the rubber hit the road you had jacob over esau moses over aaron joseph over his brothers david again and again it's like I can't give it to the firstborn
He's off the rails mom knows this too I'm the firstborn right I'm off the rails sometimes but the idea is when those things happen right you have to grasp on as best you can and hope you can work things out
Ask for forgiveness where you need it and just grab over these opportunities and that's the last thing I want to leave you with is that I remember waking up and it was march 2020
It was the middle of the shutdowns and I was lambasting them left and right I put up a couple of articles and all of a sudden I started getting some pushback from people that I trusted
People I thought were kind of intellectually sound and good friends and they're saying justin you're downplaying this this is wrong and I was up in the middle of the night
It was like three m 04:00 a.m. I was sick to my stomach I'm like what if I'm wrong what if this is the apocalypse right what if this really is as bad as these as they say it was
3% fatality rate three out of 100 people who get it are going to die that's wrong I know it's wrong but what if I'm wrong and so I remember the next day
John I and I justin published his article about this being a data fiasco or the most credentialed the most cited living scientist and I was like finally vindication
Right and my clients were all gone I said I think I need to stick my neck out here and I thought for sure at one point I could get chopped off but here we are two years later and now this is part of my life and I think what we need to do is teach our kids that when opportunity arises
You've got to be brave enough to go after it and we're going to make sure that the constitution is there as a backstop to make sure that you don't get broken on that
It's going to be messy folks we're going to have some challenges they're going to call you names this is all they told me too at the beginning I remember my good friend aaron gin
He's a young guy but he knew exactly he said they're going to call you names they're going to come after you this way but you know you're doing the right thing
Folks you're doing the right thing listening to the show thank you share this with other people follow us here follow us online stay tuned next few podcasts are going to be hot talk to you about
I keep repeating this thought so here we go again. Some of us will NEVER watch a video or listen to a podcast. Slowing down to your speaking time is just far too inefficient. So many thanks for transcribing. I like Greenwald who writes a piece and posts it, and then a couple days later posts a professional reading for those who are aural rather than visual learners.
thanks for the transcript, much appreciated over video/sound!
