00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:02.920
– All right folks, you’re at the download button
00:00:02.920 –> 00:00:05.200
on the Survivalist podcast.
00:00:05.200 –> 00:00:08.720
And as always folks, you can catch all of our old episodes
00:00:08.720 –> 00:00:13.360

00:00:13.360 –> 00:00:17.680
and our site as well, survivalistpodcast.org
00:00:17.680 –> 00:00:21.600
and all places where fine podcasts are available.
00:00:21.600 –> 00:00:23.560
So recording this episode a little earlier
00:00:23.560 –> 00:00:26.960
than I normally do just because of my work schedule
00:00:26.960 –> 00:00:31.040
this week, so if I miss any news stories
00:00:31.040 –> 00:00:32.320
you guys think I should have talked about,
00:00:32.320 –> 00:00:34.020
let me know if I’m gonna talk about the big topic
00:00:34.020 –> 00:00:34.860
of the week.
00:00:34.860 –> 00:00:36.680
Like I said, do record this a little bit earlier
00:00:36.680 –> 00:00:40.900
than normal, so like I said, please don’t be worried.
00:00:40.900 –> 00:00:42.460
That sound you’re hearing in the background
00:00:42.460 –> 00:00:44.760
is Opie the Wonder Dog.
00:00:44.760 –> 00:00:48.280
He just got a new toy and he is very excited about it
00:00:48.280 –> 00:00:49.160
and he’s very happy about it.
00:00:49.160 –> 00:00:52.560
So he is right now going a little crazy.
00:00:54.560 –> 00:00:57.400
He’s throwing his bone around and making a ton of noise.
00:00:57.400 –> 00:01:00.980
So those of you that hear that in the background,
00:01:00.980 –> 00:01:03.580
I’m sorry about that but that is Opie the Wonder Dog
00:01:03.580 –> 00:01:05.060
here in my office this morning.
00:01:05.060 –> 00:01:08.860
And just spazzing out like he always does.
00:01:08.860 –> 00:01:13.580
Those of you who have beagles, you know how this goes.
00:01:13.580 –> 00:01:18.100
They’re wonderful pets, but they tend to be
00:01:18.100 –> 00:01:20.480
a little overzealous sometimes, so.
00:01:20.480 –> 00:01:22.280
But I love him and he’s my buddy.
00:01:22.280 –> 00:01:25.040
And let me tell you, he just actually,
00:01:25.040 –> 00:01:26.560
I think he’s turning two this year actually.
00:01:26.560 –> 00:01:29.240
So he’s starting to mature, but he’s still got
00:01:29.240 –> 00:01:31.360
a lot of puppy in him yet, so that’s,
00:01:31.360 –> 00:01:32.840
you know, it’s a lot of fun, like I say, it’s a lot of fun.
00:01:32.840 –> 00:01:35.720
So, and I post pictures on all my social media,
00:01:35.720 –> 00:01:37.980
those of you guys that are following me on social media,
00:01:37.980 –> 00:01:39.780
stuff he’s doing and stuff like that, it’s a lot of fun.
00:01:39.780 –> 00:01:43.900
So he brings the family a lot of joy, my wife, my kids.
00:01:43.900 –> 00:01:45.600
You know, he brings everybody a lot of joy.
00:01:45.600 –> 00:01:48.120
So like I said, if you watch us on the social media,
00:01:48.120 –> 00:01:49.960
you can get a couple of good laughs as well with us.
00:01:49.960 –> 00:01:51.360
So I appreciate that.
00:01:51.360 –> 00:01:53.720
I do see a lot of people that follow me on social media
00:01:53.720 –> 00:01:57.600
that follow the podcast, so thank you very much for that.
00:01:57.600 –> 00:02:01.320
Also too, I’m also on, actually, I wanna talk about
00:02:01.320 –> 00:02:02.780
a couple things today.
00:02:02.780 –> 00:02:05.840
I do have a main topic of the show I was gonna talk about,
00:02:05.840 –> 00:02:06.720
we’ll see if I get to it.
00:02:06.720 –> 00:02:08.580
I do have a lot of other stuff I do wanna talk about
00:02:08.580 –> 00:02:09.940
this week though.
00:02:09.940 –> 00:02:12.540
So I wanna talk about True Social.
00:02:12.540 –> 00:02:15.920
So a couple people that listen to the podcast,
00:02:15.920 –> 00:02:17.000
listen to the show have said to me,
00:02:17.000 –> 00:02:20.120
you gotta join True Social, you gotta join True Social.
00:02:20.120 –> 00:02:22.880
A lot of people on there would be interested in your show,
00:02:22.880 –> 00:02:24.160
you really should jump on there.
00:02:24.160 –> 00:02:25.280
I said, okay.
00:02:25.280 –> 00:02:27.160
So I jumped on there and then I got a bunch of people
00:02:27.160 –> 00:02:30.160
that said to me, you gotta jump on Parler.
00:02:30.160 –> 00:02:31.240
You gotta get on Parler.
00:02:31.240 –> 00:02:32.540
So I jumped on Parler as well.
00:02:32.540 –> 00:02:34.560
So I know a couple of you guys have listened and said,
00:02:34.560 –> 00:02:36.880
you wish I was on there so I could post the episodes
00:02:36.880 –> 00:02:37.720
on there for you guys.
00:02:37.720 –> 00:02:42.540
So I am on True Social now, I am on Parler.
00:02:42.540 –> 00:02:45.920
So those of you that are on there, go ahead and find me.
00:02:45.920 –> 00:02:47.480
You know, just search survivalist podcast,
00:02:47.480 –> 00:02:48.300
you can find me on there.
00:02:48.300 –> 00:02:49.460
I do post on there quite a bit.
00:02:49.460 –> 00:02:52.520
So, and of course, always Facebook, I’m on there
00:02:52.520 –> 00:02:55.080
and Twitter, all that stuff.
00:02:55.080 –> 00:02:57.060
So all those links are on our website,
00:02:57.060 –> 00:02:59.080
survivalistpodcast.org.
00:02:59.080 –> 00:03:00.920
But like I said, I am on there now.
00:03:00.920 –> 00:03:02.800
So for those of you that wanted me on there,
00:03:02.800 –> 00:03:04.600
I’m there now so you can catch the shows
00:03:04.600 –> 00:03:06.680
and know when the new episodes come out.
00:03:06.680 –> 00:03:08.880
So like I said, I do wanna talk about a couple things
00:03:08.880 –> 00:03:09.700
with that though.
00:03:09.700 –> 00:03:13.000
I jumped on True Social and I noticed
00:03:13.000 –> 00:03:14.320
and I thought about this with Parler too.
00:03:14.320 –> 00:03:16.560
I started thinking about these things the other day
00:03:16.560 –> 00:03:17.840
and these are the things that I think about
00:03:17.840 –> 00:03:19.600
when I’m laying in bed at night.
00:03:19.600 –> 00:03:23.720
My, I was talking, there was a little bit of an outrage
00:03:23.720 –> 00:03:27.540
over True Social because I guess they have started,
00:03:27.540 –> 00:03:29.820
started kind of flagging content
00:03:29.820 –> 00:03:33.040
and I guess people are getting really upset.
00:03:33.040 –> 00:03:35.640
Like well, True Social’s not, it’s supposed to be unfiltered
00:03:35.640 –> 00:03:37.180
on this, on that.
00:03:37.180 –> 00:03:39.280
And I brought something up to somebody.
00:03:39.280 –> 00:03:43.900
I said, you know, I understand that they’re supposed to be,
00:03:43.900 –> 00:03:48.340
you know, it’s all supposed to be, you know,
00:03:48.340 –> 00:03:50.660
you can’t be kicked off, you can’t be put in Facebook jail,
00:03:50.660 –> 00:03:52.700
you can’t put in Twitter, you can’t be kicked off
00:03:52.700 –> 00:03:54.340
of Twitter, all those sorts of things
00:03:54.340 –> 00:03:55.220
that everybody’s complaining about.
00:03:55.220 –> 00:04:00.220
But they do have a responsibility to a certain degree
00:04:00.220 –> 00:04:03.140
that they do have to manage stuff.
00:04:03.140 –> 00:04:06.300
They do have to filter stuff and because if not,
00:04:06.300 –> 00:04:07.620
they’re gonna, their app’s gonna get taken off
00:04:07.620 –> 00:04:11.060
the App Store and it’s gonna be taken off of Android.
00:04:11.060 –> 00:04:12.820
And we’re like, what happened with Parler?
00:04:12.820 –> 00:04:14.660
And remember, that’s what Parler got kicked off for
00:04:14.660 –> 00:04:16.620
’cause they didn’t filter content.
00:04:16.620 –> 00:04:19.040
And they kind of have no choice,
00:04:19.040 –> 00:04:21.700
they kind of have to do this because, you know,
00:04:21.700 –> 00:04:24.420
social, you know, social media is one thing
00:04:24.420 –> 00:04:29.420
but being on a platform, on the phone platform especially
00:04:29.420 –> 00:04:31.380
is incredibly important.
00:04:31.380 –> 00:04:34.100
The majority of people do use their phones nowadays.
00:04:34.100 –> 00:04:35.780
Obviously, we all use computer, a lot of us,
00:04:35.780 –> 00:04:37.980
most of us use computers but the majority
00:04:37.980 –> 00:04:41.140
of the way people communicate is via the phone
00:04:41.140 –> 00:04:42.940
and using the social media app on their phone.
00:04:42.940 –> 00:04:45.340
So they have to be careful that they don’t violate
00:04:45.340 –> 00:04:48.220
Apple’s rules and get kicked off the phone
00:04:48.220 –> 00:04:49.760
’cause there’s no other way to get the app on the phone
00:04:49.760 –> 00:04:51.600
besides through Apple’s App Store.
00:04:51.600 –> 00:04:54.020
Now, there’s stuff going on with that
00:04:54.020 –> 00:04:55.700
and people are saying, well, eventually Apple might have
00:04:55.700 –> 00:04:57.660
to let you use third party apps.
00:04:57.660 –> 00:05:00.740
It could happen but I don’t think it’s going to
00:05:00.740 –> 00:05:05.740
anytime soon and so they kind of have to be really careful.
00:05:05.740 –> 00:05:09.180
So they started flagging, they didn’t take it down
00:05:10.260 –> 00:05:15.260
but they flag it as, they kind of been flagging it
00:05:15.260 –> 00:05:19.220
as content, they give it like a content warning.
00:05:19.220 –> 00:05:22.260
Like they don’t take it down, they don’t delete it
00:05:22.260 –> 00:05:25.060
but they blur the image and say content warning,
00:05:25.060 –> 00:05:26.500
you have to click that.
00:05:26.500 –> 00:05:28.660
It’s just like, by the way, if you’re,
00:05:28.660 –> 00:05:30.860
so and I only know this ’cause I’ve,
00:05:30.860 –> 00:05:32.900
I really, I only know this ’cause I’ve heard about it
00:05:32.900 –> 00:05:35.940
but like if you go on Twitter and there’s like
00:05:35.940 –> 00:05:40.440
a naked image of somebody, it won’t take it down
00:05:40.440 –> 00:05:43.240
because it’s not against Twitter’s terms of service
00:05:43.240 –> 00:05:45.700
for like, they allow nudity.
00:05:45.700 –> 00:05:47.900
So but they’ll just say, hey, this is,
00:05:47.900 –> 00:05:49.140
this might be inappropriate for somebody
00:05:49.140 –> 00:05:50.500
under the age of 18.
00:05:50.500 –> 00:05:53.380
So that’s kind of what True Social’s doing
00:05:53.380 –> 00:05:54.580
is they’re flagging stuff and saying,
00:05:54.580 –> 00:05:57.140
hey, this might be offensive, this might be whatever.
00:05:57.140 –> 00:06:00.540
If you are going to do this, just be aware of that.
00:06:00.540 –> 00:06:03.740
So they do, they are required to do that as,
00:06:03.740 –> 00:06:06.860
they kind of, I mean, again, I think I’ve talked about this,
00:06:06.860 –> 00:06:08.340
I haven’t talked about this in an earlier episode
00:06:08.340 –> 00:06:12.620
but part of the problem is, and I brought this up before,
00:06:12.620 –> 00:06:17.460
is it’s very hard to have a platform that’s completely open
00:06:17.460 –> 00:06:21.300
because as part of having a platform,
00:06:21.300 –> 00:06:26.140
there are laws that you have to moderate the content.
00:06:26.140 –> 00:06:29.520
If you remember, Parler wasn’t moderated and you know,
00:06:29.520 –> 00:06:31.780
I mean, I don’t care what way you swing on whatever happened,
00:06:31.780 –> 00:06:34.820
that doesn’t matter but the whole point is,
00:06:34.820 –> 00:06:36.220
you know, Apple took them down and said,
00:06:36.220 –> 00:06:37.420
hey, we’re not letting you back on.
00:06:37.420 –> 00:06:42.420
Our terms of service is you must have moderated content
00:06:42.420 –> 00:06:45.780
in order to have an app on our platform.
00:06:45.780 –> 00:06:47.620
That’s their policy.
00:06:47.620 –> 00:06:49.860
And you know, and people say to me,
00:06:49.860 –> 00:06:51.260
well, that shouldn’t, you know, Apple shouldn’t do,
00:06:51.260 –> 00:06:54.780
but in the end, they’re gonna have to conform
00:06:54.780 –> 00:06:58.540
to certain rules because again, mobile platform,
00:06:58.540 –> 00:07:02.740
especially something like, simply something like Apple,
00:07:02.740 –> 00:07:04.340
they’re the biggest platform in the world.
00:07:04.340 –> 00:07:07.220
They cannot afford to lose the app on Apple.
00:07:07.220 –> 00:07:09.700
Yes, they could do a web app that people could go through,
00:07:09.700 –> 00:07:12.100
the web through Safari but I hate to say this,
00:07:12.100 –> 00:07:16.260
a lot of people are not tech savvy enough.
00:07:16.260 –> 00:07:18.780
They’re gonna, they would lose their common,
00:07:18.780 –> 00:07:22.100
they would lose their, there are a lot of people
00:07:22.100 –> 00:07:25.500
and I know for a fact and I’m like this with vehicles,
00:07:25.500 –> 00:07:27.980
I don’t know enough about it to do tricks like that.
00:07:27.980 –> 00:07:30.040
I just need to get into an Akingo.
00:07:30.040 –> 00:07:32.740
There are a lot of people that wanna be on that platform
00:07:32.740 –> 00:07:34.740
that literally, they know how to download the app,
00:07:34.740 –> 00:07:36.180
they know how to sign in and that’s where
00:07:36.180 –> 00:07:38.100
their technical knowledge ends and it’s fine,
00:07:38.100 –> 00:07:41.260
there’s nothing wrong with that but for them,
00:07:41.260 –> 00:07:46.260
as a company, they can’t afford to not be on that platform
00:07:46.260 –> 00:07:48.780
’cause they would lose a huge chunk of the audience
00:07:48.780 –> 00:07:49.660
that wants to be there.
00:07:49.660 –> 00:07:54.540
So they are going to have to in order to kinda,
00:07:54.540 –> 00:07:57.000
kinda stay on the, I don’t wanna say stay on the platform
00:07:57.000 –> 00:08:00.140
but in order not to risk getting pulled down,
00:08:00.140 –> 00:08:04.600
they’re going to have to conform to a certain degree
00:08:04.600 –> 00:08:05.660
to certain regulations.
00:08:05.660 –> 00:08:07.720
Maybe, I think they’re gonna be a lot less
00:08:07.720 –> 00:08:08.660
than Facebook and Twitter.
00:08:08.660 –> 00:08:10.860
I think they’re gonna do just the bare minimum
00:08:10.860 –> 00:08:14.760
but they are going to have to moderate some content
00:08:14.760 –> 00:08:19.860
just because you can’t have people there planning
00:08:19.860 –> 00:08:22.000
bomb scares and stuff like that or bomb,
00:08:22.000 –> 00:08:22.840
you just can’t do it.
00:08:22.840 –> 00:08:24.940
There has to be, you can’t have people threatening
00:08:24.940 –> 00:08:26.420
to kill people on.
00:08:26.420 –> 00:08:28.700
There are certain rules you have to,
00:08:28.700 –> 00:08:31.420
there are certain rules you have to adhere to.
00:08:31.420 –> 00:08:34.280
Despite being an open platform, there are certain rules
00:08:34.280 –> 00:08:37.220
you have to adhere to for legal reasons,
00:08:37.220 –> 00:08:42.220
for not only for legal but terms of service reasons,
00:08:42.220 –> 00:08:45.280
there are certain things they have to do.
00:08:45.280 –> 00:08:49.780
So people were outraged over that, that they added flags
00:08:49.780 –> 00:08:52.720
and I’m like listen, they’re much more open
00:08:52.720 –> 00:08:53.980
than any other platform I’ve seen.
00:08:53.980 –> 00:08:55.900
They don’t, they don’t suspend, I haven’t hurt anybody
00:08:55.900 –> 00:08:57.460
against this man, they’re not kicked off there
00:08:57.460 –> 00:08:58.700
or anything like that.
00:08:58.700 –> 00:09:00.500
I have heard people on True Social
00:09:00.500 –> 00:09:01.660
are being kicked off of Parler now.
00:09:01.660 –> 00:09:03.080
I did see some of that when I was on there
00:09:03.080 –> 00:09:05.280
because I was just scrolling through looking
00:09:05.280 –> 00:09:08.060
and I do see there are quite a few people
00:09:08.060 –> 00:09:10.860
that have been kicked off of Parler
00:09:10.860 –> 00:09:15.460
and are now on True Social because they don’t,
00:09:15.460 –> 00:09:17.300
you know, they don’t want to be on Parler
00:09:17.300 –> 00:09:21.640
which is, because Parler has been being a lot more regulated
00:09:21.640 –> 00:09:23.260
and I think that’s why, you know,
00:09:23.260 –> 00:09:24.580
True Social and Trump did this
00:09:24.580 –> 00:09:26.060
’cause I think they knew that Par,
00:09:26.060 –> 00:09:29.100
they would be able to pick up a chunk of an audience,
00:09:29.100 –> 00:09:31.100
a user base, whatever you want to call it,
00:09:31.100 –> 00:09:33.420
if they went ahead because of what happened with Parler.
00:09:33.420 –> 00:09:36.640
They knew they could grab a big chunk of those people,
00:09:36.640 –> 00:09:38.820
you know, that wouldn’t want to be,
00:09:38.820 –> 00:09:39.660
you know, don’t want to be,
00:09:39.660 –> 00:09:41.100
and I do like the openness of the platform.
00:09:41.100 –> 00:09:43.180
It’s very Twitter-like but Parler’s very Twitter-like too
00:09:43.180 –> 00:09:45.660
but you know, it’s, like I said,
00:09:45.660 –> 00:09:47.440
I think any social media’s good.
00:09:47.440 –> 00:09:49.860
I do think the fringe stuff like the Parlers
00:09:49.860 –> 00:09:53.420
and the True Socials of the world and stuff like that,
00:09:54.540 –> 00:09:55.500
Telegram, stuff like that,
00:09:55.500 –> 00:09:57.620
I think that is gonna be where a lot of people go now
00:09:57.620 –> 00:09:59.420
’cause a lot of people are kind of getting frustrated
00:09:59.420 –> 00:10:02.140
with Facebook and even people that aren’t political
00:10:02.140 –> 00:10:04.020
are starting to get frustrated with Facebook rules
00:10:04.020 –> 00:10:07.660
and regulations and as well as Twitter and stuff like that,
00:10:07.660 –> 00:10:09.020
especially all this crap going on now.
00:10:09.020 –> 00:10:11.540
So, you know, I think you think though
00:10:11.540 –> 00:10:14.160
that you’re gonna see some of these social media platforms,
00:10:14.160 –> 00:10:15.240
they’re gonna get an audience,
00:10:15.240 –> 00:10:16.540
people are gonna stick with it because,
00:10:16.540 –> 00:10:17.860
and people go where their friends are.
00:10:17.860 –> 00:10:19.900
It’s a known fact with these social media platforms
00:10:19.900 –> 00:10:21.720
that people go where their friends are.
00:10:21.720 –> 00:10:24.380
That’s why younger kids are on Snapchat
00:10:24.380 –> 00:10:26.700
and stuff like that because their friends are there.
00:10:26.700 –> 00:10:28.380
I mean, it’s just one of those things.
00:10:28.380 –> 00:10:31.700
So those kind of things, you go where your friends are
00:10:31.700 –> 00:10:33.860
and I think you’re gonna see more and more people
00:10:33.860 –> 00:10:35.100
are gonna be going to those platforms
00:10:35.100 –> 00:10:38.460
because that’s where their friends are.
00:10:38.460 –> 00:10:41.520
And like I said, I think the less moderation,
00:10:41.520 –> 00:10:43.400
I do think is a good thing.
00:10:43.400 –> 00:10:44.740
People should be able to voice their opinion
00:10:44.740 –> 00:10:45.980
without worrying about being kicked off.
00:10:45.980 –> 00:10:48.660
And like I said, I do like the platforms.
00:10:48.660 –> 00:10:51.420
I do like Parler, I do like Telegram,
00:10:51.420 –> 00:10:54.740
I do like Truth and stuff like that.
00:10:54.740 –> 00:10:56.940
And I think you have to be on the bigger platform,
00:10:56.940 –> 00:10:58.180
especially if you’re doing something like I’m doing
00:10:58.180 –> 00:10:59.860
because you don’t wanna get the word out there.
00:10:59.860 –> 00:11:02.580
But then you have people unfortunately like,
00:11:02.580 –> 00:11:05.700
well, Gavin McInnes or Anthony Cumiya,
00:11:05.700 –> 00:11:07.300
or even look what Joe Rogan’s going through now.
00:11:07.300 –> 00:11:08.300
I mean, he’s still on Spotify,
00:11:08.300 –> 00:11:10.340
but he’s eating a lot of crow and they’re taking a lot,
00:11:10.340 –> 00:11:12.580
they took a bunch of his episodes down so that,
00:11:12.580 –> 00:11:15.140
where they’ve been, a lot of those guys
00:11:15.140 –> 00:11:18.820
have been deplatformed and now they’re trying
00:11:18.820 –> 00:11:20.560
to use these platforms to get the word out.
00:11:20.560 –> 00:11:21.700
Like Alex Jones and stuff like that.
00:11:21.700 –> 00:11:25.740
So I mean, it’s a very, very tough situation
00:11:25.740 –> 00:11:26.580
you’re in right now.
00:11:26.580 –> 00:11:29.060
And I think people are gonna go on certain platforms
00:11:29.060 –> 00:11:31.120
depending on what they wanna say, what they wanna do,
00:11:31.120 –> 00:11:36.120
and what their audience is and what the regulations are.
00:11:36.120 –> 00:11:38.720
Because it’s a tough thing if you can’t,
00:11:38.720 –> 00:11:44.420
you put stuff out there and if it gets taken down
00:11:44.420 –> 00:11:46.660
and you get deplatformed, it’s very hard to keep going.
00:11:46.660 –> 00:11:48.860
Now luckily we have these other resources now
00:11:48.860 –> 00:11:50.760
that people have been kicked off
00:11:50.760 –> 00:11:51.780
and the big ones can go to them,
00:11:51.780 –> 00:11:55.080
but it’s a shame that we’re in a world
00:11:55.080 –> 00:11:56.300
where you can’t speak your mind anymore.
00:11:56.300 –> 00:11:57.480
It really is.
00:11:57.480 –> 00:11:58.720
We have freedom of speech in this country,
00:11:58.720 –> 00:12:02.060
but unfortunately these companies have terms of services
00:12:02.060 –> 00:12:04.660
and freedom of speech, you have to adhere to their rules.
00:12:04.660 –> 00:12:05.500
It is their private,
00:12:05.500 –> 00:12:07.720
and I understand the argument from both sides.
00:12:07.720 –> 00:12:09.600
They’re a private company, well not private, they’re public,
00:12:09.600 –> 00:12:11.260
but they have rules to adhere to.
00:12:11.260 –> 00:12:14.680
They have to do what the government tells them to do
00:12:14.680 –> 00:12:17.480
because they don’t wanna risk losing their company.
00:12:17.480 –> 00:12:19.260
And then on the other side you have, well it’s free speech.
00:12:19.260 –> 00:12:22.100
Yes, but is it free speech because you’re technically
00:12:22.100 –> 00:12:23.400
on somebody else’s platform?
00:12:23.400 –> 00:12:25.900
Like it’s just like being on somebody else’s property
00:12:25.900 –> 00:12:28.120
and yelling about free speech.
00:12:28.120 –> 00:12:29.440
You know, that’s not your property,
00:12:29.440 –> 00:12:30.400
that’s somebody else’s property.
00:12:30.400 –> 00:12:33.620
You know, it’s a tough, it’s really a tough situation
00:12:33.620 –> 00:12:34.720
right now with everything going on
00:12:34.720 –> 00:12:36.120
as far as the free speech goes
00:12:36.120 –> 00:12:38.200
and internet and social media.
00:12:38.200 –> 00:12:39.440
You know, social media is where everybody is,
00:12:39.440 –> 00:12:40.660
so that’s where you get the word out,
00:12:40.660 –> 00:12:44.400
but it’s tough because sometimes you can’t get the word out
00:12:44.400 –> 00:12:46.320
on that platform because those people don’t want you to get,
00:12:46.320 –> 00:12:50.440
it’s a very tough situation right now with free speech.
00:12:50.440 –> 00:12:54.600
You know, especially with everything going on right now
00:12:54.600 –> 00:12:56.040
and the way things have been the last couple of years,
00:12:56.040 –> 00:12:56.880
it’s very tough.
00:12:56.880 –> 00:12:58.960
I know a lot of people that have even just shared stuff
00:12:58.960 –> 00:13:01.720
on Facebook have gotten kind of put in Facebook jail
00:13:01.720 –> 00:13:02.920
or people that have said stuff on YouTube
00:13:02.920 –> 00:13:04.600
have gotten kind of kicked off
00:13:04.600 –> 00:13:06.360
or the video’s gotten demonetized.
00:13:06.360 –> 00:13:09.280
So it’s, again, it’s a very tight situation
00:13:09.280 –> 00:13:12.800
with free speech right now and it’s unfortunate
00:13:12.800 –> 00:13:15.520
and you know, it’s one of those things
00:13:15.520 –> 00:13:17.600
where I don’t think there’s an easy solution going forward,
00:13:17.600 –> 00:13:18.440
I just don’t think so.
00:13:18.440 –> 00:13:19.600
I think it’s gonna be something we’re gonna be struggling
00:13:19.600 –> 00:13:22.000
with for a time to come.
00:13:22.000 –> 00:13:25.360
So interesting news that came out this week
00:13:25.360 –> 00:13:26.760
that I wanted to talk about.
00:13:26.760 –> 00:13:31.200
And I wanna, it kind of points out
00:13:31.200 –> 00:13:32.640
what I’ve been saying about these sanctions
00:13:32.640 –> 00:13:35.360
is that they’re gonna be on Russia
00:13:35.360 –> 00:13:37.520
unless somebody needs something from Russia.
00:13:37.520 –> 00:13:42.840
Canada, who had to kind of go against the sanctions
00:13:42.840 –> 00:13:43.740
and people are yelling that,
00:13:43.740 –> 00:13:45.520
oh, they went against the sanctions,
00:13:45.520 –> 00:13:46.940
they went against this, they went against that,
00:13:46.940 –> 00:13:49.480
and they’re not for Ukraine
00:13:49.480 –> 00:13:50.420
and people are screaming about it.
00:13:50.420 –> 00:13:55.420
But Canada had to return a repaired piece,
00:13:55.420 –> 00:13:59.740
I think it was like a turbine or something like that,
00:13:59.740 –> 00:14:02.580
to Germany and Germany had to return it to Russia
00:14:02.580 –> 00:14:04.460
despite the tariffs, even though they’re not supposed
00:14:04.460 –> 00:14:05.820
to do that ’cause of the tariffs, they had to
00:14:05.820 –> 00:14:08.860
because apparently German people were,
00:14:08.860 –> 00:14:10.980
the German economy would have really taken a hit
00:14:10.980 –> 00:14:13.400
because it would have upped their oil prices higher
00:14:13.400 –> 00:14:16.260
than it already is because of the pipeline.
00:14:16.260 –> 00:14:17.960
Because Germany doesn’t, I mean,
00:14:17.960 –> 00:14:18.840
Germany doesn’t drill their own oil,
00:14:18.840 –> 00:14:20.060
they rely on Russia for all their oil.
00:14:20.060 –> 00:14:24.420
So despite the sanctions,
00:14:24.420 –> 00:14:27.160
Canada had to send this thing to Germany.
00:14:27.160 –> 00:14:28.380
I think Germany didn’t send it to Russia,
00:14:28.380 –> 00:14:29.920
so Russia’s gonna be repairing the pipeline.
00:14:29.920 –> 00:14:31.980
It should be done by October.
00:14:31.980 –> 00:14:34.300
But this way, they’ll get more oil over to Germany
00:14:34.300 –> 00:14:35.800
and the prices won’t skyrocket
00:14:35.800 –> 00:14:39.080
because part of the problem was they were,
00:14:39.080 –> 00:14:41.980
if they keep the sanctions on
00:14:41.980 –> 00:14:43.680
and don’t return that part,
00:14:43.680 –> 00:14:45.700
Germany’s gonna be paying for it.
00:14:45.700 –> 00:14:48.500
I mean, with the oil prices now,
00:14:48.500 –> 00:14:49.420
the same degree you said,
00:14:49.420 –> 00:14:51.020
look at what America’s paying for oil right now.
00:14:51.020 –> 00:14:54.880
But I guess Germany didn’t want it to go up higher
00:14:54.880 –> 00:14:57.320
and they said, well, hey, listen,
00:14:57.320 –> 00:14:59.280
we’ll give you guys a pass on this part at least
00:14:59.280 –> 00:15:02.380
so that you can go ahead and fix the pipeline for us.
00:15:02.380 –> 00:15:05.580
So that’s what they did as they went ahead
00:15:05.580 –> 00:15:07.680
and they sent over the part.
00:15:07.680 –> 00:15:10.420
So Russia’s supposed to be fixing that pipeline now.
00:15:10.420 –> 00:15:14.340
So Germany won’t have to pay a fortune for gas.
00:15:14.340 –> 00:15:16.820
But I think it’s, again,
00:15:16.820 –> 00:15:18.880
politics always plays a part in everything.
00:15:18.880 –> 00:15:20.320
And in this case, they had to do something
00:15:20.320 –> 00:15:21.800
because I guess they were worried that Germany,
00:15:21.800 –> 00:15:23.880
they’re already paying high gas prices,
00:15:23.880 –> 00:15:27.160
but now they would go up even more.
00:15:27.160 –> 00:15:29.980
And my attitude to that is, well, we’re all paying more too
00:15:29.980 –> 00:15:34.040
to try to put these sanctions on Russia.
00:15:34.040 –> 00:15:36.680
And I guess, I don’t know,
00:15:36.680 –> 00:15:38.320
I’ve got mixed feelings about it, I get it,
00:15:38.320 –> 00:15:40.640
but when the president says the other day,
00:15:40.640 –> 00:15:41.720
I have to talk to these other countries,
00:15:41.720 –> 00:15:43.280
they need to keep the sanctions on,
00:15:43.280 –> 00:15:45.140
and then lo and behold, somebody does that.
00:15:45.140 –> 00:15:48.880
So I don’t think, at the end of the day,
00:15:48.880 –> 00:15:52.260
we need the oil and they need the oil.
00:15:52.260 –> 00:15:54.640
So they have to do, Germany doesn’t drill their own oil,
00:15:54.640 –> 00:15:57.080
Germany doesn’t really have any other way
00:15:57.080 –> 00:15:59.340
of producing any energy.
00:15:59.340 –> 00:16:01.200
And it would have seriously hurt their industry.
00:16:01.200 –> 00:16:02.040
It would have seriously,
00:16:02.040 –> 00:16:03.280
I guess they were more worried about the industry.
00:16:03.280 –> 00:16:05.860
They said it would really affect industry tremendously
00:16:05.860 –> 00:16:07.200
in their country and affect jobs
00:16:07.200 –> 00:16:09.200
if they didn’t get this repaired.
00:16:09.200 –> 00:16:11.840
So they went ahead and did it.
00:16:11.840 –> 00:16:14.400
So, you know, it’s one of those things sometimes,
00:16:14.400 –> 00:16:17.160
you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.
00:16:17.160 –> 00:16:20.200
But that was in the news this week.
00:16:20.200 –> 00:16:24.520
And then the other thing that was just on the other day
00:16:24.520 –> 00:16:28.880
was that, I guess, President Biden was down talking
00:16:28.880 –> 00:16:33.800
about he has a new plan on the environmental emergency,
00:16:33.800 –> 00:16:36.000
especially with this heat wave,
00:16:36.000 –> 00:16:37.800
and I don’t understand why it’s a heat wave.
00:16:37.800 –> 00:16:39.400
Things get hot in July and August.
00:16:39.400 –> 00:16:42.480
It’s not really a heat wave, but whatever.
00:16:42.480 –> 00:16:46.800
And he was saying that they need to do this and that
00:16:46.800 –> 00:16:48.240
and that they’re gonna create,
00:16:48.240 –> 00:16:52.280
they’re gonna use like 500,000 miles of offshore
00:16:52.280 –> 00:16:54.460
to create wind farms and they’re gonna do,
00:16:54.460 –> 00:16:57.720
they’re gonna do, have,
00:16:57.720 –> 00:16:59.980
they’re gonna subsidize air conditioning for people
00:16:59.980 –> 00:17:01.440
that want air conditioning but can’t afford it.
00:17:01.440 –> 00:17:04.000
They’re gonna have cooling stations for people
00:17:04.000 –> 00:17:06.640
in certain hot areas where they can go
00:17:06.640 –> 00:17:08.480
and get cooled off in the air.
00:17:08.480 –> 00:17:10.840
All these kind of things they’re gonna have now
00:17:10.840 –> 00:17:14.660
as part of his new plan, which is gonna cost billions.
00:17:14.660 –> 00:17:18.720
And he’s coming up my area, up in Pennsylvania this week,
00:17:18.720 –> 00:17:21.960
obviously about maybe 45 minutes away, up in Wilkes-Barre,
00:17:21.960 –> 00:17:26.320
and he’s expected to discuss the whole situation
00:17:26.320 –> 00:17:30.880
about the violence and all that kind of stuff.
00:17:30.880 –> 00:17:32.080
And now they did, obviously,
00:17:32.080 –> 00:17:33.820
they have done some gun legislation,
00:17:33.820 –> 00:17:35.160
but that was little, I mean,
00:17:35.160 –> 00:17:36.900
it was the most gun slips that passed in 10 years,
00:17:36.900 –> 00:17:38.720
but I just didn’t think it was gonna do much.
00:17:38.720 –> 00:17:42.560
But he’s saying that they’re going to be here
00:17:42.560 –> 00:17:43.940
and he wants, they wanna talk about,
00:17:43.940 –> 00:17:45.800
I think they’re gonna do, it’s been 37 billion
00:17:45.800 –> 00:17:49.000
over the next couple of years to help hire more,
00:17:49.000 –> 00:17:51.640
10,000 more police, 10 are,
00:17:51.640 –> 00:17:53.080
again, we don’t know, he hasn’t done the speech yet,
00:17:53.080 –> 00:17:54.480
there’s only speculation from reading online,
00:17:54.480 –> 00:17:57.080
but a bunch, a lot, he wants to hire, I think,
00:17:57.080 –> 00:18:02.080
10 or 20,000 more police and he wants to help people
00:18:02.380 –> 00:18:06.080
get additional security where needed and additional,
00:18:06.080 –> 00:18:09.200
and I think, oh, like, okay, that’s fine with me,
00:18:09.200 –> 00:18:11.840
but I wonder how this is really gonna,
00:18:11.840 –> 00:18:13.840
this is gonna, I know this is gonna, which I don’t care,
00:18:13.840 –> 00:18:15.920
but this is gonna outrage people,
00:18:15.920 –> 00:18:18.680
especially the whole defund the police people
00:18:18.680 –> 00:18:21.840
that he’s spending, what, 37 million on more security,
00:18:21.840 –> 00:18:23.640
more police to fight gun violence?
00:18:23.640 –> 00:18:26.200
And what he’s, I guess,
00:18:26.200 –> 00:18:28.400
and this is a really tough situation because,
00:18:28.400 –> 00:18:30.440
and it really is, and I’ll tell you why,
00:18:30.440 –> 00:18:35.000
because in the sense of the fact of, you know,
00:18:35.000 –> 00:18:37.560
people are yelling and screaming about police violence,
00:18:37.560 –> 00:18:40.260
police brutality, all that kind of stuff,
00:18:40.260 –> 00:18:45.020
but in the same breath, you can’t complain about violence
00:18:45.020 –> 00:18:49.400
and not having enough police and the crime and the violence
00:18:49.400 –> 00:18:53.600
if you’re trying to cut funding to the police,
00:18:53.600 –> 00:18:54.440
’cause defund the police doesn’t mean they’re,
00:18:54.440 –> 00:18:56.240
they’re not gonna defund the police department,
00:18:56.240 –> 00:18:57.560
you’re not gonna pick up the phone and dial 911
00:18:57.560 –> 00:18:59.240
and police aren’t gonna, that’s not gonna happen.
00:18:59.240 –> 00:19:02.720
What they’re talking about is reduced funding or fund,
00:19:02.720 –> 00:19:05.840
or talking about educating them in a different,
00:19:05.840 –> 00:19:08.360
not educating, but having training in different things
00:19:08.360 –> 00:19:09.800
and all that, so you don’t wanna resolve conflict
00:19:09.800 –> 00:19:11.320
without violence and all that, but,
00:19:11.320 –> 00:19:13.280
and that’s all well and good in some areas,
00:19:13.280 –> 00:19:16.200
but there are some areas, especially down the city,
00:19:16.200 –> 00:19:20.320
and bad areas in Chicago and places down in New York,
00:19:20.320 –> 00:19:23.520
and you know, down south and stuff,
00:19:23.520 –> 00:19:25.060
that just isn’t gonna cut it.
00:19:25.060 –> 00:19:27.680
You know, it just isn’t, but,
00:19:29.000 –> 00:19:30.840
the issue being is, you know,
00:19:30.840 –> 00:19:33.400
you can’t complain about gun violence,
00:19:33.400 –> 00:19:36.000
and then in the same breath complain
00:19:36.000 –> 00:19:37.640
that you don’t wanna fund the police,
00:19:37.640 –> 00:19:39.680
you know, you have to have it both ways.
00:19:39.680 –> 00:19:42.660
I mean, you can pass all the gun legislation you want,
00:19:42.660 –> 00:19:45.840
but if there’s not people around to enforce those laws,
00:19:45.840 –> 00:19:49.120
you know, you’d be legislation useless, in my opinion,
00:19:49.120 –> 00:19:51.020
if you can’t have people to enforce it.
00:19:51.020 –> 00:19:52.680
So you can’t complain about, you know,
00:19:52.680 –> 00:19:55.440
so you, you know, he has to, you want less gun violence,
00:19:55.440 –> 00:19:56.920
you’re gonna have to give more funding
00:19:56.920 –> 00:19:58.800
to hire more police officers, that’s,
00:19:58.800 –> 00:20:00.880
and of course we all know, and it’s every,
00:20:00.880 –> 00:20:03.080
and I don’t care what anybody says, it’s every business,
00:20:03.080 –> 00:20:06.120
there’s a shortage with help, and you know, he’s gonna,
00:20:06.120 –> 00:20:08.600
and I know for a fact they’re short on police officers,
00:20:08.600 –> 00:20:10.360
’cause you know, a lot of people are tired with COVID
00:20:10.360 –> 00:20:12.400
and some of that, so I know for a fact
00:20:12.400 –> 00:20:13.600
they’re having a hard time, and I’m sure
00:20:13.600 –> 00:20:15.160
they’re gonna have to offer incentives
00:20:15.160 –> 00:20:18.200
to hire more officers too, so it’s gonna be probably,
00:20:18.200 –> 00:20:20.440
you know, even more money, which is,
00:20:20.440 –> 00:20:22.360
you know, whatever it is, but,
00:20:22.360 –> 00:20:25.280
you know, like I was saying, you can’t complain about
00:20:25.280 –> 00:20:28.540
of a violence and crime, and in the same breath
00:20:28.540 –> 00:20:31.440
wanna defund the police, you can’t have it both ways.
00:20:31.440 –> 00:20:33.000
So what Biden’s gonna do is he’s trying
00:20:33.000 –> 00:20:34.360
to take a hard stance on saying, okay,
00:20:34.360 –> 00:20:36.360
we’re passing this, some gun legislation,
00:20:36.360 –> 00:20:39.640
we’re gonna hire more police to fight this whole situation
00:20:39.640 –> 00:20:43.040
with the gun violence, I think he’s, I think he’s,
00:20:43.040 –> 00:20:44.960
I think he’s on the, I think he’s trying to do stuff,
00:20:44.960 –> 00:20:46.880
he’s doing the best he can, I know his hands
00:20:46.880 –> 00:20:50.080
are kinda tied to a certain degree with this kinda stuff,
00:20:50.080 –> 00:20:51.900
but he does, you know, but I think this is
00:20:51.900 –> 00:20:54.000
the very first step of, we gotta get police out there,
00:20:54.000 –> 00:20:56.680
and people that know how to resolve situations
00:20:56.680 –> 00:21:00.300
and stuff like that, and, you know, enforce these policies
00:21:00.300 –> 00:21:02.220
and fight, you know, against this gun violence
00:21:02.220 –> 00:21:04.080
and against the crime and all that.
00:21:04.080 –> 00:21:07.820
So I think the only way to do that is to add more police
00:21:07.820 –> 00:21:10.660
and add, you know, more overtime maybe,
00:21:10.660 –> 00:21:12.200
or something like that to, you know,
00:21:12.200 –> 00:21:14.000
let people be out there more, you know,
00:21:14.000 –> 00:21:16.720
and it’s not an easy thing.
00:21:16.720 –> 00:21:18.800
You know, you’re not going to solve gun violence
00:21:18.800 –> 00:21:20.640
overnight in this country, not when it’s the second,
00:21:20.640 –> 00:21:22.780
not when Right to Wear Arms is the Second Amendment.
00:21:22.780 –> 00:21:24.960
I mean, we can do the best we can,
00:21:24.960 –> 00:21:27.500
but it’s not an easy solution.
00:21:27.500 –> 00:21:30.320
I don’t think anybody, Republican or Democrat,
00:21:30.320 –> 00:21:32.320
has a good situation with this,
00:21:32.320 –> 00:21:35.860
and this is, I think, maybe the best step is,
00:21:35.860 –> 00:21:38.040
okay, we passed a little gun legislation,
00:21:38.040 –> 00:21:40.300
we’re gonna give more funding to police,
00:21:40.300 –> 00:21:42.320
and we’re gonna see, look at the numbers
00:21:42.320 –> 00:21:43.540
and see if this helps, if this happened,
00:21:43.540 –> 00:21:44.680
maybe next year we’ll throw more money,
00:21:44.680 –> 00:21:47.200
I mean, I hate Democrats throwing money at a problem,
00:21:47.200 –> 00:21:48.880
but in this case, I think the only way
00:21:48.880 –> 00:21:50.300
you’re gonna fix this problem is to have
00:21:50.300 –> 00:21:53.020
more police officers, you know,
00:21:53.020 –> 00:21:54.720
people that are trained with firearms,
00:21:54.720 –> 00:21:57.480
people that are trained and know how to enforce the rules,
00:21:57.480 –> 00:21:59.520
and I think it might help, I think it is gonna help,
00:21:59.520 –> 00:22:01.540
especially maybe, and even if it doesn’t help
00:22:01.540 –> 00:22:03.360
with the gun violence, it’ll definitely help with crime,
00:22:03.360 –> 00:22:05.180
because the more police you have on the street,
00:22:05.180 –> 00:22:07.160
the lower the crime rate is, I mean, that’s just,
00:22:07.160 –> 00:22:09.560
you know, the more people that can be out there
00:22:09.560 –> 00:22:12.940
enforcing the law, the quicker, the better
00:22:12.940 –> 00:22:15.040
it’s going to be as far as the crime rate,
00:22:15.040 –> 00:22:16.800
I mean, that’s just fact.
00:22:16.800 –> 00:22:20.040
So the other day, the internet was, yesterday,
00:22:20.040 –> 00:22:21.480
I’m recording this, it was gonna be,
00:22:21.480 –> 00:22:23.300
it’s yesterday for me, but it’s gonna be probably
00:22:23.300 –> 00:22:25.060
a couple of days for you guys,
00:22:25.060 –> 00:22:28.060
is Biden had said that he was concerned
00:22:28.060 –> 00:22:31.040
about the environment and about these people
00:22:31.040 –> 00:22:34.020
that live close to factories because he had cancer
00:22:34.020 –> 00:22:35.020
and all that kind of stuff.
00:22:35.020 –> 00:22:39.600
He actually has had melanoma, skin cancer,
00:22:39.600 –> 00:22:42.160
but I do, I will say this, I have to kind of agree
00:22:42.160 –> 00:22:44.080
with him a little bit on the whole thing
00:22:44.080 –> 00:22:46.340
with people that live close to get sick,
00:22:46.340 –> 00:22:48.340
even though, you know, my grandparents,
00:22:48.340 –> 00:22:51.920
my, in both neighborhoods I grew up in,
00:22:51.920 –> 00:22:53.700
down in Jersey, my grandparents,
00:22:53.700 –> 00:22:56.440
I didn’t go up down there, but my fam was down there.
00:22:56.440 –> 00:22:59.320
My grandparents, years, lived in the same home
00:22:59.320 –> 00:23:03.180
for, my God, 50, 60 years, and they,
00:23:03.180 –> 00:23:05.780
towards the end of their lives, they started,
00:23:05.780 –> 00:23:07.700
you know, they got letters and messages
00:23:07.700 –> 00:23:10.160
from the state or the township or whatever,
00:23:10.160 –> 00:23:12.700
saying that, hey, you know, remember Manhattan Rubber
00:23:12.700 –> 00:23:14.500
was behind you 50 years ago?
00:23:14.500 –> 00:23:16.140
My grandfather used to work there.
00:23:16.140 –> 00:23:17.880
Well, we found that they were, you know,
00:23:17.880 –> 00:23:19.680
we found proof that they were dumping stuff
00:23:19.680 –> 00:23:22.420
into the ground, and, you know, we found
00:23:22.420 –> 00:23:23.440
that the ground was contaminated.
00:23:23.440 –> 00:23:25.060
If you’re growing your own vegetables
00:23:25.060 –> 00:23:26.880
or whatever like that, don’t eat them,
00:23:26.880 –> 00:23:28.840
’cause they could be contaminated.
00:23:28.840 –> 00:23:32.260
So, now, my grandparents had grown,
00:23:32.260 –> 00:23:34.980
now, you’re talking 30, 40, 50 years later.
00:23:34.980 –> 00:23:36.460
So my grandparents had grown tomatoes
00:23:36.460 –> 00:23:38.740
every year in the backyard for my entire life,
00:23:38.740 –> 00:23:40.620
and everybody, you know, everybody in the neighborhood
00:23:40.620 –> 00:23:42.820
and my parents and all that, I used to eat ’em
00:23:42.820 –> 00:23:44.860
and stuff like that, and nobody ever got sick.
00:23:44.860 –> 00:23:46.800
Both my grandparents did have cancer.
00:23:46.800 –> 00:23:48.560
I don’t think, I don’t know if it was from that.
00:23:48.560 –> 00:23:51.300
They had, my grandmother had, I think it was bladder cancer,
00:23:51.300 –> 00:23:53.140
my grandfather had bladder and prostate cancer,
00:23:53.140 –> 00:23:55.580
but I don’t know if it was from that or not,
00:23:55.580 –> 00:23:59.260
but again, so, you know, but you don’t know,
00:23:59.260 –> 00:24:01.380
you know, 30, 40, 50 years later,
00:24:01.380 –> 00:24:02.420
what they’re gonna find in science
00:24:02.420 –> 00:24:03.860
that could be the problem.
00:24:03.860 –> 00:24:06.500
In Garfield, New Jersey, where I grew up,
00:24:06.500 –> 00:24:08.420
there used to be, again, I can grow up
00:24:08.420 –> 00:24:10.160
where my family lived for most of their lives,
00:24:10.160 –> 00:24:12.900
there was a factory there, and they found that
00:24:12.900 –> 00:24:15.860
they were actually, there were actually letters
00:24:15.860 –> 00:24:17.740
being sent out to Garfield people years ago
00:24:17.740 –> 00:24:21.180
saying that, hey, you know, clip your fingernails
00:24:21.180 –> 00:24:23.080
and send it in, there’s a very good possibility
00:24:23.080 –> 00:24:26.800
that, you know, your home or the ground your home
00:24:26.800 –> 00:24:28.440
is built on could be contaminated,
00:24:28.440 –> 00:24:29.660
and if you’re breathing this stuff in,
00:24:29.660 –> 00:24:31.360
you could get sick, and you know,
00:24:31.360 –> 00:24:34.260
it’s from some kind of factory that was in,
00:24:34.260 –> 00:24:36.660
big factory, it was in Garfield, you know,
00:24:36.660 –> 00:24:39.140
30, 40 years earlier.
00:24:39.140 –> 00:24:42.480
So, I gotta tell you about, the one thing I do have to say,
00:24:42.480 –> 00:24:45.140
I seen this happen to a couple times,
00:24:45.140 –> 00:24:46.220
and there’s another friend of mine too,
00:24:46.220 –> 00:24:49.980
where he grew up, where they worked by a factory,
00:24:49.980 –> 00:24:52.500
and then they found out years later,
00:24:52.500 –> 00:24:55.580
that the stuff that they thought, the air,
00:24:55.580 –> 00:24:58.440
well, look at this, 9/11’s a prime example of this.
00:24:58.440 –> 00:25:01.960
The air is safe to breathe, and now you have people,
00:25:01.960 –> 00:25:06.740
what, 20 years later, 22, 21, 22 years later now,
00:25:06.740 –> 00:25:09.180
they’re finding that people with liver disease
00:25:09.180 –> 00:25:14.180
and liver cancer and kidney cancer’s all related
00:25:14.600 –> 00:25:18.500
to the whole situation that, you know,
00:25:18.500 –> 00:25:22.500
people from breathing in the air on ground zero during 9/11,
00:25:22.500 –> 00:25:25.360
you know, and look, what, they didn’t find that out
00:25:25.360 –> 00:25:29.140
until what, 10, 15 years later?
00:25:29.140 –> 00:25:30.700
So, I gotta be honest with you,
00:25:30.700 –> 00:25:33.620
I don’t know if I necessarily disagree with him on that,
00:25:33.620 –> 00:25:35.580
that he wants to enforce policies for people
00:25:35.580 –> 00:25:37.420
that live closer to his factories, I gotta be honest,
00:25:37.420 –> 00:25:39.740
I really don’t disagree with him on that.
00:25:39.740 –> 00:25:41.360
A lot of people may get upset with me for saying that,
00:25:41.360 –> 00:25:42.700
but I don’t know, I’ve seen it happen
00:25:42.700 –> 00:25:44.720
three, four, five times already.
00:25:44.720 –> 00:25:45.560
I was telling you, started telling you,
00:25:45.560 –> 00:25:48.220
a friend of mine that lived down in New Jersey,
00:25:48.220 –> 00:25:50.920
he, you see, another friend of mine that lived,
00:25:50.920 –> 00:25:52.640
he lived down south, but he lived in New Jersey,
00:25:52.640 –> 00:25:55.160
that’s how I met him, he had the same situation.
00:25:55.160 –> 00:25:57.560
His parents lived near a coal mine,
00:25:57.560 –> 00:25:59.800
and the stuff they used to dig and work in the coal mine,
00:25:59.800 –> 00:26:01.620
or they found out that it was contaminated groundwater,
00:26:01.620 –> 00:26:02.760
people were drinking the water for years,
00:26:02.760 –> 00:26:03.700
and it’s fine, some people were getting
00:26:03.700 –> 00:26:05.160
stomach cancer from it.
00:26:05.160 –> 00:26:09.500
So, you know, it’s one of those things where I,
00:26:09.500 –> 00:26:11.400
this particular issue, not just he had,
00:26:11.400 –> 00:26:13.880
now does his skin cancer relate to being
00:26:13.880 –> 00:26:16.300
living by an oil factory, I don’t know, I’m not a doctor.
00:26:16.300 –> 00:26:19.000
I don’t think it is, but it could be.
00:26:19.000 –> 00:26:21.800
But, my point is, you don’t know,
00:26:21.800 –> 00:26:23.400
because look at what, you know,
00:26:23.400 –> 00:26:26.360
with this particular topic, I’m not gonna lie,
00:26:26.360 –> 00:26:28.840
I’m actually kind of agree with him that,
00:26:28.840 –> 00:26:30.520
you know, maybe there should be,
00:26:30.520 –> 00:26:35.300
as far as the environmental stuff,
00:26:35.300 –> 00:26:38.260
and just what’s going on, I do think maybe that,
00:26:38.260 –> 00:26:41.940
that we should, I think, consider taking these things
00:26:41.940 –> 00:26:43.780
a little more seriously, people that live,
00:26:43.780 –> 00:26:46.180
they call them fence line workers is what they call them.
00:26:46.180 –> 00:26:49.880
We need to really, you know, take a look at this,
00:26:49.880 –> 00:26:51.580
and see where these people are living,
00:26:51.580 –> 00:26:53.660
and where we’re allowing these factories,
00:26:53.660 –> 00:26:56.000
and yeah, maybe it doesn’t affect them today,
00:26:56.000 –> 00:26:58.100
maybe everything’s okay by today’s science standard,
00:26:58.100 –> 00:27:00.340
but who knows in 20, 30 years what’s gonna happen.
00:27:00.340 –> 00:27:01.980
I actually am one of those people
00:27:01.980 –> 00:27:03.340
that are kind of pro for that,
00:27:03.340 –> 00:27:05.300
because I saw my grandparents,
00:27:05.300 –> 00:27:06.580
so it happened to a good friend,
00:27:06.580 –> 00:27:08.220
my other uncle over in Garfield,
00:27:08.220 –> 00:27:10.220
I saw it happen to, like I said,
00:27:10.220 –> 00:27:12.900
for a couple, and we see it’s going on with the 9/11 workers,
00:27:12.900 –> 00:27:14.460
the first responders, we’ve seen what’s going on
00:27:14.460 –> 00:27:15.300
like it’s with my other friend,
00:27:15.300 –> 00:27:18.460
so I’m okay with that, I really am,
00:27:18.460 –> 00:27:20.380
and I think we should be more concerned
00:27:20.380 –> 00:27:23.020
about people’s health and being around these factories.
00:27:23.020 –> 00:27:25.180
So I do wanna get to something here
00:27:25.180 –> 00:27:26.780
that I thought was a lot of fun.
00:27:26.780 –> 00:27:30.220
So somebody, a bunch of you guys had reached out to me
00:27:30.220 –> 00:27:32.500
about the, about the couple episodes ago,
00:27:32.500 –> 00:27:33.900
but I talked about these survival shows,
00:27:33.900 –> 00:27:36.460
and stuff like that, and I wanna thank you guys so much
00:27:36.460 –> 00:27:38.100
first of all for all the feedback I got.
00:27:38.100 –> 00:27:40.420
I get a lot, I’m getting, I get at least a couple,
00:27:40.420 –> 00:27:42.260
I get at least a couple messages every week,
00:27:42.260 –> 00:27:44.100
so you guys listen and then feel the need
00:27:44.100 –> 00:27:46.620
to reach out to me, and it really means a lot
00:27:46.620 –> 00:27:47.780
that you guys listen to the show,
00:27:47.780 –> 00:27:49.660
and then feel the, you know, reach back out to me,
00:27:49.660 –> 00:27:52.560
I really appreciate it, so please keep the feedback,
00:27:52.560 –> 00:27:55.340
and the emails and all that, and again,
00:27:55.340 –> 00:27:58.860
you go to our website, survivalistpodcast.org,
00:27:58.860 –> 00:28:01.340
all my social media is on there,
00:28:01.340 –> 00:28:02.620
and you can go ahead and reach out to me,
00:28:02.620 –> 00:28:05.260
email, YouTube, Facebook, all that kind of stuff.
00:28:05.260 –> 00:28:08.020
So Twitter, and so one of the things you guys,
00:28:08.020 –> 00:28:09.940
when somebody had said to me was about the,
00:28:09.940 –> 00:28:10.780
talked about these survival shows,
00:28:10.780 –> 00:28:12.900
about living the primitive lifestyle,
00:28:12.900 –> 00:28:16.060
and would I be that guy that could, you know,
00:28:16.060 –> 00:28:18.380
would I be one of those people that can live on,
00:28:18.380 –> 00:28:21.420
you know, just a plot of land, and in a tent, and all that.
00:28:21.420 –> 00:28:23.160
You know, I gotta be honest with you,
00:28:23.160 –> 00:28:25.500
I don’t know if I could live the primitive lifestyle,
00:28:25.500 –> 00:28:27.420
if I had to, you know, the end of the world, obviously,
00:28:27.420 –> 00:28:30.200
if I would have to, everybody would, but I don’t know,
00:28:30.200 –> 00:28:32.220
I don’t know if I could, if I would purposely
00:28:32.220 –> 00:28:35.740
wanna be that guy, I like my video games,
00:28:35.740 –> 00:28:40.580
I like the internet, I like watching TV,
00:28:40.580 –> 00:28:43.400
you know, I like my phone, I like my computer,
00:28:43.400 –> 00:28:45.680
so I don’t know, I’m too much, I think,
00:28:45.680 –> 00:28:47.940
of a nerd at heart, I mean, obviously, my full-time job,
00:28:47.940 –> 00:28:50.600
I’m actually a computer programmer, so, but,
00:28:50.600 –> 00:28:55.340
I don’t know if I could live that primitive lifestyle,
00:28:55.340 –> 00:28:57.140
I mean, I enjoy it, like, if I go out in the woods,
00:28:57.140 –> 00:28:59.600
I could probably do it for a while, I enjoy it,
00:28:59.600 –> 00:29:02.640
but I think after a while, I’d want the luxuries
00:29:02.640 –> 00:29:04.920
of technology back, I think, too much,
00:29:04.920 –> 00:29:06.460
I mean, I think I definitely, I mean, I enjoy it,
00:29:06.460 –> 00:29:08.840
and I think there’s a time where, you know,
00:29:08.840 –> 00:29:10.560
if something happens, we’re gonna have to live like that,
00:29:10.560 –> 00:29:14.780
but I don’t know, I like, I think I like technology
00:29:14.780 –> 00:29:18.120
too much to be that guy, I know there are a lot of people,
00:29:18.120 –> 00:29:22.040
especially that, I’m just watching another season of Alone,
00:29:22.040 –> 00:29:26.580
and that Nikki, her name was, she actually lives on a,
00:29:26.580 –> 00:29:29.060
pretty much on a plot of land that she bought,
00:29:29.060 –> 00:29:31.680
and she’s got a cabin that she built,
00:29:31.680 –> 00:29:34.580
and she lives off the grid, no electric, no nothing,
00:29:34.580 –> 00:29:37.940
I, I don’t know, I mean, I just, I don’t think I could do
00:29:37.940 –> 00:29:40.960
that for too long, I think I’d want the luxuries
00:29:40.960 –> 00:29:45.960
of indoor plumbing, maybe, you know, electric,
00:29:45.960 –> 00:29:48.020
well, I mean, you could have an electric generator
00:29:48.020 –> 00:29:50.700
or solar, but, I don’t know, I think I like the luxuries
00:29:50.700 –> 00:29:53.240
of the modern world a little too much,
00:29:53.240 –> 00:29:55.620
I mean, I’m all for it, I think, I think if you can live
00:29:55.620 –> 00:29:58.420
like that, that’s probably a better way to live,
00:29:58.420 –> 00:30:00.340
but you’re still gonna pay property taxes,
00:30:00.340 –> 00:30:01.900
you’re still gonna pay, there’s still things you’re gonna
00:30:01.900 –> 00:30:03.580
get, you still have to get mail, somehow,
00:30:03.580 –> 00:30:05.480
there’s certain things you’re still gonna, if you own land,
00:30:05.480 –> 00:30:08.820
unless you’re, I mean, you’re still going to have to
00:30:08.820 –> 00:30:12.120
deal with certain things, so, I mean, but,
00:30:12.120 –> 00:30:14.020
yeah, I don’t know, I don’t think I could do the,
00:30:14.020 –> 00:30:16.220
I think I could do it for a while, I think I would enjoy
00:30:16.220 –> 00:30:19.340
camping, I enjoy camping, I do love going camping
00:30:19.340 –> 00:30:21.140
for a couple of weeks, for a couple days,
00:30:21.140 –> 00:30:23.540
couple weeks, whatever, but I just think that,
00:30:23.540 –> 00:30:26.540
especially with kids and all that, if I was out there
00:30:26.540 –> 00:30:29.460
by myself, I probably would be okay for a little while,
00:30:29.460 –> 00:30:31.260
but I don’t know if I could live that, just like,
00:30:31.260 –> 00:30:32.500
it might not like, just stay in my way, okay,
00:30:32.500 –> 00:30:34.460
we’re getting rid of, you know, we’re gonna sell the house,
00:30:34.460 –> 00:30:35.700
get rid of all our stuff, and I’m just gonna,
00:30:35.700 –> 00:30:37.380
we’re just gonna live in a cabin that I build by hand
00:30:37.380 –> 00:30:39.460
with an axe, I don’t know if my wife would go for that,
00:30:39.460 –> 00:30:41.580
I don’t, actually, I think she would, I know she wouldn’t,
00:30:41.580 –> 00:30:43.700
but, but for me, the end of the world coming,
00:30:43.700 –> 00:30:46.380
she wouldn’t have a choice, but, just to live that way
00:30:46.380 –> 00:30:48.540
without having the end of the world, I don’t know,
00:30:48.540 –> 00:30:50.980
I think I, I think I enjoy doing stuff like this too much,
00:30:50.980 –> 00:30:53.320
I enjoy the, like I said, I enjoy playing, you know,
00:30:53.320 –> 00:30:57.020
Call of Duty, and all these survival games with my friends
00:30:57.020 –> 00:30:59.920
online, I enjoy having buddies over, I enjoy listening
00:30:59.920 –> 00:31:03.000
to music a lot, you know, stuff like that, so I don’t know,
00:31:03.000 –> 00:31:05.160
I think I could, I mean, I think I’m gonna have to do it
00:31:05.160 –> 00:31:07.620
if the world comes to an end, but I don’t think until
00:31:07.620 –> 00:31:10.880
that time am I gonna be living that primitive lifestyle,
00:31:10.880 –> 00:31:13.360
I just don’t, I mean, I enjoy hunting, I enjoy fishing,
00:31:13.360 –> 00:31:16.660
I enjoy camping, I enjoy all parts of the outdoors,
00:31:16.660 –> 00:31:18.860
I like splitting my own wood, I like, you know,
00:31:18.860 –> 00:31:21.120
all that stuff, I enjoy all that, I like, I like,
00:31:21.120 –> 00:31:25.280
permaculture, I like all that stuff, but I just,
00:31:25.280 –> 00:31:27.780
I don’t know, I don’t think I could do that if,
00:31:27.780 –> 00:31:30.480
I don’t think I could, I don’t think I could be that guy,
00:31:30.480 –> 00:31:32.100
I mean, when the world comes, we’re all gonna have to,
00:31:32.100 –> 00:31:35.760
but I don’t think I could be that guy, I just think that,
00:31:35.760 –> 00:31:38.980
I just think that would be too, I think that would be too,
00:31:38.980 –> 00:31:42.120
for me, I think it would be too much, especially considering
00:31:42.120 –> 00:31:45.360
you know, it’s, I don’t know, I think it would just be,
00:31:45.360 –> 00:31:47.360
for me, I just, I don’t think I could do it,
00:31:47.360 –> 00:31:50.180
I mean, I think, if I have to, I could, but I don’t think
00:31:50.180 –> 00:31:52.420
I could do it, just like that, and I know my wife
00:31:52.420 –> 00:31:55.380
would never go for that, and my kids wouldn’t either, so,
00:31:55.380 –> 00:31:58.320
but yeah, I appreciate the feedback.
00:31:58.320 –> 00:32:01.360
Yeah, you know, like I said, some of those people
00:32:01.360 –> 00:32:03.340
that are on that show, I did notice that as well,
00:32:03.340 –> 00:32:05.380
by the way, that, and some of those people,
00:32:05.380 –> 00:32:07.740
they show where they live when they’re not on that show,
00:32:07.740 –> 00:32:09.880
and it’s like, woo, like these people really live
00:32:09.880 –> 00:32:12.480
the lifestyle they’re wanting to compete with,
00:32:12.480 –> 00:32:14.320
like some of those people, especially one guy,
00:32:14.320 –> 00:32:17.720
Natsulongo, he was, I mean, he lived in Alaska in isolation
00:32:17.720 –> 00:32:19.840
for what, like 100 and some days, and he’s like,
00:32:19.840 –> 00:32:21.560
I don’t care, I like this, and this is the way
00:32:21.560 –> 00:32:23.620
I live anyway, like this is not, and he did,
00:32:23.620 –> 00:32:25.520
he survived the whole way, that was insane.
00:32:25.520 –> 00:32:28.160
I was like, wow, this guy is, and another guy too,
00:32:28.160 –> 00:32:30.240
the same situation, I was like, you know,
00:32:30.240 –> 00:32:31.840
so, I mean, and good for them, man, maybe if that’s
00:32:31.840 –> 00:32:33.080
the way they choose to live, that, you know,
00:32:33.080 –> 00:32:35.520
good for them, and maybe they’re living the right way,
00:32:35.520 –> 00:32:38.120
and we’re not, but, you know, I just don’t think
00:32:38.120 –> 00:32:39.440
I could do it, and I know for a fact,
00:32:39.440 –> 00:32:40.760
my wife wouldn’t go for it.
00:32:40.760 –> 00:32:43.360
But speaking of these shows, one of the things that,
00:32:43.360 –> 00:32:45.320
I know there’s a lot, I mean, that have been watching
00:32:45.320 –> 00:32:47.440
all these different survival shows lately is,
00:32:47.440 –> 00:32:51.080
a lot of people tap out because they eat the wrong thing,
00:32:51.080 –> 00:32:55.380
or they get sick or upset, and, you know,
00:32:55.380 –> 00:32:57.980
one of the things I never see anybody do is go out
00:32:57.980 –> 00:33:02.040
and try to find any kind of herbs for their stomach.
00:33:02.040 –> 00:33:05.000
You know, there are a couple herbs you can use
00:33:05.000 –> 00:33:07.640
that help with a lot of things.
00:33:07.640 –> 00:33:10.520
You know, peppermint is one that I know for several,
00:33:10.520 –> 00:33:12.960
a lot of people use that for gastro issues.
00:33:12.960 –> 00:33:16.160
You know, that helps, I think it’s a,
00:33:16.160 –> 00:33:17.600
it helps, I think from when I read it,
00:33:17.600 –> 00:33:19.840
like it helps relax the intestines,
00:33:19.840 –> 00:33:22.040
so if you’re getting cramps and stuff like that.
00:33:22.040 –> 00:33:24.180
So I know that’s one, I know peppermint is actually
00:33:24.180 –> 00:33:26.000
one they talk about in “Walking Dead” a lot,
00:33:26.000 –> 00:33:29.160
the show on TV, that they use peppermint a lot
00:33:29.160 –> 00:33:31.000
for people that are nauseous and stuff like that,
00:33:31.000 –> 00:33:32.640
and they say a lot of pregnant women use it
00:33:32.640 –> 00:33:33.680
and stuff like that when they’re pregnant.
00:33:33.680 –> 00:33:37.440
So that one is one that I, I’m surprised nobody,
00:33:37.440 –> 00:33:39.360
and that’s actually pretty easy to find
00:33:39.360 –> 00:33:42.000
sometimes in the woods, depending on where you are.
00:33:42.000 –> 00:33:44.400
Fennel is another one, it’s like a root
00:33:44.400 –> 00:33:46.320
that I know a lot of people use,
00:33:46.320 –> 00:33:50.040
and that’s more of a, it’s not as flavorful,
00:33:50.040 –> 00:33:53.560
but it definitely can help you if you have pain
00:33:53.560 –> 00:33:55.720
in your stomach and all that kind of stuff.
00:33:55.720 –> 00:33:59.160
I think it’s, I think one, the other one
00:33:59.160 –> 00:34:01.920
that I think I remember reading about is raspberry leaf,
00:34:01.920 –> 00:34:03.700
that’s another one that can really, really good.
00:34:03.700 –> 00:34:05.120
I know, one day I saw this one,
00:34:05.120 –> 00:34:06.160
I’m like, they’re eating raspberries,
00:34:06.160 –> 00:34:07.720
I’m like, why aren’t they just getting the rasp,
00:34:07.720 –> 00:34:08.960
why aren’t they just go back to the raspberries
00:34:08.960 –> 00:34:10.700
and get the leaves and they can use that?
00:34:10.700 –> 00:34:12.480
That helps a lot with stomach,
00:34:12.480 –> 00:34:15.760
and I didn’t know this, but actually,
00:34:15.760 –> 00:34:17.520
a lot of people that have celiac disease,
00:34:17.520 –> 00:34:20.120
some of the natural, all natural remedies
00:34:20.120 –> 00:34:23.520
are actually made from raspberry and raspberry leaves
00:34:23.520 –> 00:34:24.900
to help with the stomach.
00:34:24.900 –> 00:34:26.040
So that was one thing I was like,
00:34:26.040 –> 00:34:27.720
why aren’t they going back to get the rasp,
00:34:27.720 –> 00:34:28.960
like what, what?
00:34:28.960 –> 00:34:32.160
Like, you know, you’re trying to yell at the TV, you know?
00:34:32.160 –> 00:34:34.240
Chamomile’s not as easy to find out in the wild,
00:34:34.240 –> 00:34:35.920
but I know that’s one that a lot of people use.
00:34:35.920 –> 00:34:37.980
I just wanna, I have a list here I wanted to read off,
00:34:37.980 –> 00:34:40.640
but I know chamomile is one that’s a little bit harder
00:34:40.640 –> 00:34:42.140
to find in the woods, especially depending
00:34:42.140 –> 00:34:43.400
on where they are, especially when they’re arctic
00:34:43.400 –> 00:34:45.800
and stuff like that, you’re not gonna find that stuff there.
00:34:45.800 –> 00:34:48.020
They use, obviously, emulsi and tea and stuff like that,
00:34:48.020 –> 00:34:50.980
but it can be used as a,
00:34:50.980 –> 00:34:54.800
I think it doesn’t actually, it’s not gonna actually
00:34:54.800 –> 00:34:57.280
like upset your stomach, but if you have,
00:34:57.280 –> 00:35:00.280
it helps with like gas, it’s basically like,
00:35:00.280 –> 00:35:02.640
well, it’s basically like a gas sex kind of thing,
00:35:02.640 –> 00:35:04.680
so you can use it for that, like it’s not gonna stew some,
00:35:04.680 –> 00:35:06.960
but it’ll help you if you have cramps and gas.
00:35:06.960 –> 00:35:09.760
Ginger, obviously, is one that I recommend,
00:35:09.760 –> 00:35:11.060
is, you know, when they’re out, but that’s, again,
00:35:11.060 –> 00:35:12.440
it’s gonna be a little harder to find someplace
00:35:12.440 –> 00:35:14.140
with ginger because it’s root,
00:35:14.140 –> 00:35:15.500
and you have to know where to find it,
00:35:15.500 –> 00:35:17.900
but ginger is one they could use.
00:35:17.900 –> 00:35:20.560
Obviously, ginger ale, obviously, is a soda,
00:35:20.560 –> 00:35:23.440
but a lot of people do, I know a lot of people
00:35:23.440 –> 00:35:25.000
use ginger from morning sickness,
00:35:25.000 –> 00:35:26.240
from their, you know, women and stuff like that,
00:35:26.240 –> 00:35:28.080
but I know for a fact ginger ale is one
00:35:28.080 –> 00:35:31.060
that a lot of people use, and that’s one of the reasons,
00:35:31.060 –> 00:35:32.680
too, why people think it’s, you know,
00:35:32.680 –> 00:35:34.400
people sip ginger on their nauseous.
00:35:34.400 –> 00:35:36.800
It’s the ginger, so yes, the carbonator does help you
00:35:36.800 –> 00:35:39.720
with the gas, but also the ginger itself is actually,
00:35:39.720 –> 00:35:42.000
it’s not just soda, it’s also the ginger in the soda
00:35:42.000 –> 00:35:43.600
that’s supposed to be really, really good for you,
00:35:43.600 –> 00:35:46.240
and it’s also, I think, has antioxidants
00:35:46.240 –> 00:35:48.740
and stuff like that in it, too, so it, you know,
00:35:48.740 –> 00:35:50.640
and it also helps the heartburn, all the consistent weight,
00:35:50.640 –> 00:35:51.920
like I said, a lot of pregnant women use it
00:35:51.920 –> 00:35:54.860
when they’re, you know, not feeling well during pregnancy,
00:35:54.860 –> 00:35:56.640
but yeah, ginger, and that’s, I know,
00:35:56.640 –> 00:35:58.300
that one’s gonna be hard to find because, like I said,
00:35:58.300 –> 00:36:00.340
it’s a root, so it’s gonna be hard to find
00:36:00.340 –> 00:36:02.020
when you’re out there, but ginger is one
00:36:02.020 –> 00:36:04.600
that I know a lot of people, a lot of people use
00:36:04.600 –> 00:36:07.480
that I’ve seen a lot of these different shows
00:36:07.480 –> 00:36:09.920
on YouTube where they talk about herbal medicines
00:36:09.920 –> 00:36:11.740
and stuff like that, all natural medicines.
00:36:11.740 –> 00:36:14.780
Ginger’s one you see a lot, obviously ginger ale,
00:36:14.780 –> 00:36:16.000
you know, and obviously, especially,
00:36:16.000 –> 00:36:17.420
and that’s one thing I’m surprised, too,
00:36:17.420 –> 00:36:19.580
because a lot of these shows are filmed,
00:36:19.580 –> 00:36:21.720
a lot of these, like, alone shows and stuff like that,
00:36:21.720 –> 00:36:25.020
especially on History Channel, are all filmed in Canada,
00:36:25.020 –> 00:36:27.480
and Canada is actually known for ginger root,
00:36:27.480 –> 00:36:29.540
so I’m surprised they didn’t find any there
00:36:29.540 –> 00:36:30.600
in any of these shows, or they don’t know
00:36:30.600 –> 00:36:32.160
what they’re looking for.
00:36:32.160 –> 00:36:35.440
The other one that I saw that, it was kinda shocking me
00:36:35.440 –> 00:36:39.640
that I actually looked this up was catnip,
00:36:39.640 –> 00:36:41.480
and I’m like, wait a minute now, wait a minute now,
00:36:41.480 –> 00:36:43.240
let’s, you don’t wanna be out in the woods
00:36:43.240 –> 00:36:46.600
and be, you know, get a little funky,
00:36:46.600 –> 00:36:49.360
but apparently catnip, it does,
00:36:49.360 –> 00:36:51.760
we all know what it does to cats, you know,
00:36:51.760 –> 00:36:54.280
it’s like pot for cat pretty much,
00:36:54.280 –> 00:36:58.880
but catnip actually doesn’t have the same effect on people,
00:36:58.880 –> 00:37:01.360
and catnip actually does have antioxidants
00:37:01.360 –> 00:37:06.360
and hyponics, hypotonics in it,
00:37:06.360 –> 00:37:11.420
and it also, like I said, it calms anxiety
00:37:11.420 –> 00:37:14.120
and all that kinda stuff, but it actually, like I said,
00:37:14.120 –> 00:37:15.740
it can help soothe people to sleep,
00:37:15.740 –> 00:37:19.840
it can help you with issues with, like I said,
00:37:19.840 –> 00:37:21.700
with issues with your stomach and stuff like that.
00:37:21.700 –> 00:37:25.300
I think this one specifically, from what I’ve read about it,
00:37:25.300 –> 00:37:27.160
it’s not so much helping your stomach
00:37:27.160 –> 00:37:30.760
as it’s helping you relax, it does not have the same effect
00:37:30.760 –> 00:37:34.320
on people as it does on cats,
00:37:34.320 –> 00:37:37.320
but it can help you relax, anxiety, calm a nervous stomach,
00:37:37.320 –> 00:37:39.160
stuff like that, maybe not something you’re gonna need
00:37:39.160 –> 00:37:40.760
if you have diarrhea, I think one of the other ones,
00:37:40.760 –> 00:37:42.120
if you can find it, would be better,
00:37:42.120 –> 00:37:44.640
but this one might help you out as well,
00:37:44.640 –> 00:37:45.960
especially if you have an oftentimes sleeping out there
00:37:45.960 –> 00:37:46.800
and stuff like that, I don’t know,
00:37:46.800 –> 00:37:48.360
but that’s one you can use.
00:37:48.360 –> 00:37:53.480
The other one I had to look up was something called,
00:37:53.480 –> 00:37:55.180
something called Yarrow, which is a,
00:37:55.180 –> 00:37:56.280
I’ve never actually heard of it,
00:37:56.280 –> 00:38:01.280
but it’s actually an antibacterial and antimicrobial,
00:38:01.280 –> 00:38:04.920
and what it actually does is,
00:38:04.920 –> 00:38:08.000
if you eat something bad, you can actually eat this,
00:38:08.000 –> 00:38:09.680
and that will actually help counteract it.
00:38:09.680 –> 00:38:11.400
I did not know that, I’ve never actually heard of that one,
00:38:11.400 –> 00:38:14.720
so I learned something today about doing some prep.
00:38:14.720 –> 00:38:18.360
The other one I thought, the other one I didn’t know about
00:38:18.360 –> 00:38:21.960
is licorice root, now this one I’ve never actually heard of,
00:38:21.960 –> 00:38:23.900
but I know I’ve heard of licorice root,
00:38:23.900 –> 00:38:27.080
but I’ve never heard of this one being used.
00:38:27.080 –> 00:38:28.920
It seems like it might be hard to find if you’re out there,
00:38:28.920 –> 00:38:31.980
but what it actually does is actually helps
00:38:31.980 –> 00:38:35.560
with stuff like heartburn, helps with GI tract issues,
00:38:35.560 –> 00:38:37.080
helps settle your stomach, stuff like that,
00:38:37.080 –> 00:38:40.120
but it also helps, I guess it cuts back on acid
00:38:40.120 –> 00:38:43.000
and stuff like that, and it actually, like I said,
00:38:43.000 –> 00:38:46.500
you can only take it, one of the reasons
00:38:46.500 –> 00:38:47.700
I’d be concerned about this was,
00:38:47.700 –> 00:38:49.180
is you can only take it, from what I’ve read,
00:38:49.180 –> 00:38:50.780
you can only take it in small doses.
00:38:50.780 –> 00:38:52.620
I don’t have any experience with this herb,
00:38:52.620 –> 00:38:54.540
but I would look it up if you are interested in it,
00:38:54.540 –> 00:38:56.760
or if you know you’re in an area where you can get it.
00:38:56.760 –> 00:39:00.740
You can only take it in small doses,
00:39:00.740 –> 00:39:03.340
and they say, actually, what’s funny about this one
00:39:03.340 –> 00:39:04.820
is when I actually looked this up, it actually says,
00:39:04.820 –> 00:39:06.180
you’re going to be taking this,
00:39:06.180 –> 00:39:07.780
consult your healthcare practitioner
00:39:07.780 –> 00:39:09.020
before taking licorice root
00:39:09.020 –> 00:39:11.160
if you have any kind of kidney disease.
00:39:11.160 –> 00:39:13.220
So this one I’m not as familiar with,
00:39:13.220 –> 00:39:15.640
but I would say if you’re out there,
00:39:15.640 –> 00:39:17.680
and you’re desperate, and you’re really feeling horrible,
00:39:17.680 –> 00:39:20.560
it might help you, but if you’re going to try to use it
00:39:20.560 –> 00:39:21.940
as a natural remedy for anything,
00:39:21.940 –> 00:39:23.420
I would seriously consult your doctor,
00:39:23.420 –> 00:39:24.420
especially if you have any kidney disease,
00:39:24.420 –> 00:39:26.900
’cause it was a big warning when I looked it up before
00:39:26.900 –> 00:39:30.020
on the internet, so I was like, oh wow.
00:39:30.020 –> 00:39:31.740
I didn’t realize it was that,
00:39:31.740 –> 00:39:34.180
I didn’t realize licorice was that dangerous.
00:39:34.180 –> 00:39:37.500
Another one which is kind of more like a member
00:39:37.500 –> 00:39:41.340
of the kind of the mint family is a lemon balm.
00:39:41.340 –> 00:39:44.800
This one’s going to be a lot harder to find out in the woods.
00:39:44.800 –> 00:39:48.100
It’s, you can find it, but it’s going to be
00:39:48.100 –> 00:39:49.500
really hard to find.
00:39:49.500 –> 00:39:52.340
It’s like a, actually I don’t really know exactly
00:39:52.340 –> 00:39:53.460
what it looks like, they’re leaves,
00:39:53.460 –> 00:39:55.900
but they don’t look any different than any other leaves.
00:39:55.900 –> 00:39:58.660
So I’m actually, when I saw these, I’m like,
00:39:58.660 –> 00:40:00.220
well that looks like any kind of leaf I could find,
00:40:00.220 –> 00:40:02.700
but it’s not, it’s actually lemon balm.
00:40:02.700 –> 00:40:07.380
They use a leaf from a lemon, so very rarely,
00:40:07.380 –> 00:40:09.920
I’ve never found lemons, I’m not really there either,
00:40:09.920 –> 00:40:11.620
but anytime I went anywhere outside nursing,
00:40:11.620 –> 00:40:14.420
but lemon leaves, they call them lemon balm,
00:40:14.420 –> 00:40:16.900
but they’re lemon leaves, and a lot of people say
00:40:16.900 –> 00:40:19.280
you can use that, and with the mint, if you can find that,
00:40:19.280 –> 00:40:21.120
it’ll work well together.
00:40:21.120 –> 00:40:24.980
Actually, it actually can help with,
00:40:24.980 –> 00:40:26.300
if you’re dry heaving and stuff like that,
00:40:26.300 –> 00:40:30.920
it actually can help that, it actually is an anti-IBS
00:40:30.920 –> 00:40:32.540
flare up medicine.
00:40:32.540 –> 00:40:34.640
Again, I’ve never seen those out in the wild,
00:40:34.640 –> 00:40:36.380
I’m sure, but if you find lemons, keep the leaves,
00:40:36.380 –> 00:40:38.380
because you can use them.
00:40:38.380 –> 00:40:40.580
Meadow Sweet is another one.
00:40:40.580 –> 00:40:43.540
This I have actually, I’ve actually seen this
00:40:43.540 –> 00:40:47.340
out in the wild, and what’s interesting about this is,
00:40:47.340 –> 00:40:49.860
and somebody said you can use it for your stomach,
00:40:49.860 –> 00:40:53.420
but I’ve only ever heard of it used as an anti-inflammatory.
00:40:53.420 –> 00:40:56.520
If you have an issue with your muscles, your joints,
00:40:56.520 –> 00:40:57.740
or something like that, you can use it
00:40:57.740 –> 00:40:59.060
as an anti-inflammatory.
00:40:59.060 –> 00:41:03.000
But I actually have read, from what I’ve read
00:41:03.000 –> 00:41:04.560
on the internet, it says you can actually use it
00:41:04.560 –> 00:41:07.620
if your stomach is inflamed.
00:41:07.620 –> 00:41:09.020
I mean, I guess it’s anti-inflammatory,
00:41:09.020 –> 00:41:11.380
that would help, but I don’t know,
00:41:11.380 –> 00:41:14.820
this one I’m not actually overly familiar with either.
00:41:14.820 –> 00:41:19.460
This, like I said, I do know that, I know that if you have
00:41:19.460 –> 00:41:21.460
ulcers or any kind of heartburn, this can help
00:41:21.460 –> 00:41:24.460
if you’re in the wild, but like I said,
00:41:24.460 –> 00:41:25.580
I only know what it’s anti-inflammatory,
00:41:25.580 –> 00:41:26.780
but I guess if it is an anti-inflammatory,
00:41:26.780 –> 00:41:28.740
it would help you if you have ulcers and heartburn too,
00:41:28.740 –> 00:41:32.020
so yeah, I guess that kind of does make sense.
00:41:32.020 –> 00:41:35.740
I’ve seen this, I’ve only seen this once or twice
00:41:35.740 –> 00:41:39.560
out in the woods, not around here, but I have seen it,
00:41:39.560 –> 00:41:42.180
and I know you actually can, but you have to,
00:41:42.180 –> 00:41:43.900
I think there is two, you have to watch your dosage
00:41:43.900 –> 00:41:45.980
on this one, I think, ’cause it is an anti-inflammatory,
00:41:45.980 –> 00:41:50.260
so you have to watch, but that’s something you could do.
00:41:50.260 –> 00:41:52.200
The only one I didn’t, I’ve heard about,
00:41:52.200 –> 00:41:55.820
but I’ve never actually ever seen it, was marshmallow root.
00:41:55.820 –> 00:41:57.580
They say marshmallow root is one of those
00:41:57.580 –> 00:41:59.740
that can help with acid reflux.
00:41:59.740 –> 00:42:04.140
It also can help if you have a stomach or celiac disease,
00:42:04.140 –> 00:42:06.280
any kind of gut disease, any kind of that.
00:42:06.280 –> 00:42:10.200
It also apparently has hydrating components
00:42:10.200 –> 00:42:12.700
that are good for you as well if you’re dehydrated.
00:42:13.700 –> 00:42:16.300
You know, it also says possibly could be used
00:42:16.300 –> 00:42:19.140
as an anti-inflammatory.
00:42:19.140 –> 00:42:23.300
I don’t know about that, I’ve never actually heard it
00:42:23.300 –> 00:42:27.540
being used for that, but I guess you could,
00:42:27.540 –> 00:42:29.500
but yeah, there are, like I said, those are 12,
00:42:29.500 –> 00:42:31.980
there are 12, like I said, I found about 12 or 13 of ’em
00:42:31.980 –> 00:42:34.500
that you can use herbs when you’re out in the woods
00:42:34.500 –> 00:42:38.140
and you have an upset stomach, so those, very important.
00:42:38.140 –> 00:42:41.220
I make sure you actually go ahead and look those up
00:42:41.220 –> 00:42:44.020
if you’re ever planning on being out in the woods.
00:42:44.020 –> 00:42:46.260
Sometimes holistic remedies are really good,
00:42:46.260 –> 00:42:48.100
especially if you’re out there and you’re struggling.
00:42:48.100 –> 00:42:49.440
Nobody ever goes looking for these things
00:42:49.440 –> 00:42:51.220
in any of the shows, it’s kind of shocking,
00:42:51.220 –> 00:42:53.540
unless they don’t know what they’re looking for.
00:42:53.540 –> 00:42:55.500
But some of those I wouldn’t know what to look for either,
00:42:55.500 –> 00:42:57.340
just so you know, some of those I’ve never heard of
00:42:57.340 –> 00:42:59.140
and they’re not indigenous to the area I’m in either,
00:42:59.140 –> 00:43:01.700
so I expect I wouldn’t know them.
00:43:01.700 –> 00:43:03.040
The other thing I will say though, folks,
00:43:03.040 –> 00:43:04.780
one of the things I did see on that show,
00:43:04.780 –> 00:43:07.260
and I do wanna bring this up here on the podcast,
00:43:07.260 –> 00:43:11.660
because a couple of people were,
00:43:11.660 –> 00:43:14.020
they found animals with spots on the liver
00:43:14.020 –> 00:43:16.060
and they still ate it,
00:43:16.060 –> 00:43:18.280
and that’s something really concerning,
00:43:18.280 –> 00:43:19.660
because now I know they cooked it,
00:43:19.660 –> 00:43:20.880
and if you cook it well, you can eat it,
00:43:20.880 –> 00:43:22.060
but I don’t trust it.
00:43:22.060 –> 00:43:23.740
If you see animals with a spot on the liver,
00:43:23.740 –> 00:43:25.540
you’re never supposed to eat the meat.
00:43:25.540 –> 00:43:28.240
Spots on, like I said, the sign of rabies.
00:43:28.240 –> 00:43:31.300
If you’re in a survival situation
00:43:31.300 –> 00:43:33.600
like these people are on these shows,
00:43:33.600 –> 00:43:34.980
I get it, maybe that’s one thing,
00:43:34.980 –> 00:43:38.080
but if you ever just go hunting
00:43:38.080 –> 00:43:39.580
and find animal spots on the liver,
00:43:39.580 –> 00:43:41.060
do not eat the meat.
00:43:41.060 –> 00:43:45.040
Those spots are actually parasites,
00:43:45.040 –> 00:43:46.300
or actually like parasitics,
00:43:46.300 –> 00:43:47.900
those white spots are parasitic,
00:43:47.900 –> 00:43:52.540
paralytic pouches that contain the parasites
00:43:52.540 –> 00:43:53.700
that cause rabies and stuff like that.
00:43:53.700 –> 00:43:54.540
You’re never supposed,
00:43:54.540 –> 00:43:56.500
I know people say, well, just don’t eat the liver,
00:43:56.500 –> 00:43:58.980
but you don’t know if that animal’s already,
00:43:58.980 –> 00:44:01.140
at that point, if the animal’s already been infected
00:44:01.140 –> 00:44:03.540
if they’re growing parasites in their liver,
00:44:03.540 –> 00:44:06.860
always, always, always, if you see that,
00:44:06.860 –> 00:44:10.980
throw that away or report it to the Game Commission
00:44:10.980 –> 00:44:13.420
or whatever, do not eat the meat on an animal
00:44:13.420 –> 00:44:15.340
with spots on the liver.
00:44:15.340 –> 00:44:16.880
It is incredibly dangerous.
00:44:16.880 –> 00:44:18.220
Like I said, people say, well,
00:44:18.220 –> 00:44:19.060
if you don’t eat the liver,
00:44:19.060 –> 00:44:21.260
if you cook the liver well, kill the parasites.
00:44:21.260 –> 00:44:23.780
I don’t, no, don’t trust it, I’m sorry.
00:44:23.780 –> 00:44:26.900
I don’t, it’s not something to play around with.
00:44:26.900 –> 00:44:28.700
It’s a deadly disease to people,
00:44:28.700 –> 00:44:29.760
and you can get an animal as well,
00:44:29.760 –> 00:44:33.120
but if you ever get an animal with spots on the liver,
00:44:33.800 –> 00:44:36.960
immediately just don’t eat it and immediately report it
00:44:36.960 –> 00:44:39.860
and get, and don’t, put gloves on
00:44:39.860 –> 00:44:40.960
if you’re gonna handle it and stuff like that.
00:44:40.960 –> 00:44:44.180
Don’t take any chances with something like that.
00:44:44.180 –> 00:44:47.560
I see it twice in these survival shows,
00:44:47.560 –> 00:44:48.640
and I’m like, I really was upset
00:44:48.640 –> 00:44:50.040
that they actually even put that on television
00:44:50.040 –> 00:44:53.160
because people watch that and think it’s okay.
00:44:53.160 –> 00:44:56.180
Yes, they say if you cook it for 180 degrees,
00:44:56.180 –> 00:44:58.520
I think for so many, for like so many minutes,
00:44:58.520 –> 00:45:01.000
it’ll kill the parasites and the meat’s safe to eat.
00:45:01.000 –> 00:45:02.360
Don’t, I wouldn’t trust it.
00:45:02.360 –> 00:45:03.960
Just don’t take a chance.
00:45:03.960 –> 00:45:07.280
You know, your life is worth more than that.
00:45:07.280 –> 00:45:09.160
The amount of health issues and health scares
00:45:09.160 –> 00:45:13.040
you could have because of that, it’s unbelievable.
00:45:13.040 –> 00:45:14.180
I would not take a chance.
00:45:14.180 –> 00:45:15.340
I was really upset when I saw that
00:45:15.340 –> 00:45:17.000
on television the other day.
00:45:17.000 –> 00:45:20.260
People watch these shows and then they try
00:45:20.260 –> 00:45:23.460
to redo what they see, and that’s very, very dangerous.
00:45:23.460 –> 00:45:27.440
Never eat an animal with spots on the liver.
00:45:27.440 –> 00:45:32.080
It’s a sign of rabies, and it’s incredibly dangerous.
00:45:32.080 –> 00:45:34.120
If you’re in a survival situation where you’re lost,
00:45:34.120 –> 00:45:38.040
and you’re in the woods, and it’s dangerous,
00:45:38.040 –> 00:45:40.780
that’s one thing, but never,
00:45:40.780 –> 00:45:42.420
if you’re in a normal environment
00:45:42.420 –> 00:45:45.680
and it’s not life or death, please don’t take a chance
00:45:45.680 –> 00:45:47.360
and eat anything with spots on the liver.
00:45:47.360 –> 00:45:50.340
It’s incredibly dangerous, and you could seriously
00:45:50.340 –> 00:45:53.880
get ill from that and might have to go to,
00:45:53.880 –> 00:45:54.760
and might need meds.
00:45:54.760 –> 00:45:57.700
And if you have eaten an animal with spots on the liver,
00:45:57.700 –> 00:46:00.240
I recommend you immediately get medical attention.
00:46:01.360 –> 00:46:03.320
It’s something that you should not play around with.
00:46:03.320 –> 00:46:04.740
It’s not safe.
00:46:04.740 –> 00:46:06.600
I don’t care how well you cook it.
00:46:06.600 –> 00:46:09.280
And like I said, it’s not something to joke around with.
00:46:09.280 –> 00:46:11.020
And like I said, if you have eaten an animal,
00:46:11.020 –> 00:46:12.720
you should seek medical attention.
00:46:12.720 –> 00:46:14.600
And if you do get an animal with spots on the liver,
00:46:14.600 –> 00:46:15.560
like I said, don’t eat it.
00:46:15.560 –> 00:46:17.520
Immediately report it to the Game Commission
00:46:17.520 –> 00:46:18.840
so that they can, ’cause the other thing is too,
00:46:18.840 –> 00:46:20.600
that animal has rabies.
00:46:20.600 –> 00:46:22.360
The other animals around it might have rabies.
00:46:22.360 –> 00:46:27.160
So it’s something to be very, very careful with,
00:46:27.160 –> 00:46:30.360
especially if it’s, really more with small game,
00:46:30.360 –> 00:46:34.160
you see it a lot more than you do a large game.
00:46:34.160 –> 00:46:35.680
But especially, like I said,
00:46:35.680 –> 00:46:37.040
if you’re hunting small game or trapping,
00:46:37.040 –> 00:46:38.760
and you’re gonna have a live animal there,
00:46:38.760 –> 00:46:40.760
and you see it foaming at the mouth,
00:46:40.760 –> 00:46:44.640
or when you hold it down with your capture stick,
00:46:44.640 –> 00:46:47.280
hold it down and obviously dispose of it,
00:46:47.280 –> 00:46:49.000
and, or dispense of it,
00:46:49.000 –> 00:46:51.120
and then you start gutting it or whatever, dressing it,
00:46:51.120 –> 00:46:54.660
and you see the spots on the liver immediately.
00:46:54.660 –> 00:46:56.640
That’s something to make sure.
00:46:56.640 –> 00:46:58.480
That’s why I always say, trapping is a lot of fun,
00:46:58.480 –> 00:46:59.680
but you gotta make sure you don’t get bit,
00:46:59.680 –> 00:47:01.600
because you don’t know if that animal,
00:47:01.600 –> 00:47:03.480
just because the animal’s not foaming at the mouth,
00:47:03.480 –> 00:47:06.200
doesn’t mean it doesn’t have rabies.
00:47:06.200 –> 00:47:08.680
So, that’s, like I said, it’s very, very important.
00:47:08.680 –> 00:47:09.840
When you get, you know, if you do get,
00:47:09.840 –> 00:47:11.160
if you do get, say you do get bit,
00:47:11.160 –> 00:47:13.000
and you are field dressing the animal,
00:47:13.000 –> 00:47:14.320
and you see spots on the liver,
00:47:14.320 –> 00:47:17.200
now you need to say, okay, I got bit.
00:47:17.200 –> 00:47:18.400
I see spots on this thing.
00:47:18.400 –> 00:47:20.200
I probably should call the Game Commission
00:47:20.200 –> 00:47:22.360
and get myself medical attention.
00:47:22.360 –> 00:47:23.720
Like I said, it’s very important.
00:47:23.720 –> 00:47:25.080
And I really was upset, like I said,
00:47:25.080 –> 00:47:26.400
that they had showed that on television
00:47:26.400 –> 00:47:27.220
that these people did that,
00:47:27.220 –> 00:47:30.580
because it can be incredibly dangerous.
00:47:30.580 –> 00:47:33.260
And like I said, I think that them showing that on TV
00:47:33.260 –> 00:47:35.620
might have been a little bit irresponsible,
00:47:35.620 –> 00:47:38.900
but I just wanted to bring that up to my listeners,
00:47:38.900 –> 00:47:41.340
so that you know, and you are being safe.
00:47:41.340 –> 00:47:44.100
So, but like I said, like I said,
00:47:44.100 –> 00:47:46.800
those 12 herbs that we did talk about,
00:47:46.800 –> 00:47:49.580
if you, there’s something you might be able to look up.
00:47:49.580 –> 00:47:52.660
There’s also two, there’s, I mean, this is,
00:47:52.660 –> 00:47:53.620
and to be honest, this is a whole,
00:47:53.620 –> 00:47:54.820
like a lot of people, I’m trying to,
00:47:54.820 –> 00:47:56.180
I wanna go through, I mean,
00:47:56.180 –> 00:47:58.040
you can do the whole podcast,
00:47:58.040 –> 00:48:00.620
I mean, literally a whole bunch of episodes
00:48:00.620 –> 00:48:04.540
just on natural remedies and stuff you could do.
00:48:04.540 –> 00:48:06.220
This was, I was just looking for stomach pain,
00:48:06.220 –> 00:48:08.680
because I know for a fact that knocks
00:48:08.680 –> 00:48:10.900
a bunch of people out on those shows.
00:48:10.900 –> 00:48:12.940
And a lot of people that either eat something
00:48:12.940 –> 00:48:14.540
that didn’t agree with them,
00:48:14.540 –> 00:48:16.940
or they eat something that wasn’t cooked well,
00:48:16.940 –> 00:48:20.300
or they drink the water without boiling it,
00:48:20.300 –> 00:48:22.580
they always, it always seems to be one of,
00:48:22.580 –> 00:48:25.780
it’s either the food or the water that gets them,
00:48:25.780 –> 00:48:27.900
because they either don’t, or they,
00:48:27.900 –> 00:48:30.660
I know the one lady was saying she was,
00:48:30.660 –> 00:48:34.020
you know, she, I think she said she kept eating these berries
00:48:34.020 –> 00:48:35.580
and she couldn’t understand why she kept getting diarrhea,
00:48:35.580 –> 00:48:36.860
and I’m like, well, the berries you’re eating
00:48:36.860 –> 00:48:39.460
are actually a diuretic.
00:48:39.460 –> 00:48:43.860
So, you know, it’s a natural laxative, you know?
00:48:43.860 –> 00:48:45.460
Same thing with coconuts.
00:48:45.460 –> 00:48:47.500
We all remember watching “Cast Away” with,
00:48:47.500 –> 00:48:49.980
back when I was a kid, with Tom Hanks,
00:48:49.980 –> 00:48:51.880
and he keeps saying, “Oh, I’m eating coconuts,
00:48:51.880 –> 00:48:53.740
“but man, they are a natural laxative.”
00:48:53.740 –> 00:48:55.380
And I’m like laughing, I’m like, yeah, they are.
00:48:55.380 –> 00:48:57.980
So, you know, those kind of things,
00:48:57.980 –> 00:49:00.820
if you’re eating stuff like that, you know,
00:49:00.820 –> 00:49:04.020
it’s one of those things where you could dehydrate yourself
00:49:04.020 –> 00:49:06.020
by eating stuff, so you have to be really, really careful
00:49:06.020 –> 00:49:07.300
when you’re out there.
00:49:07.300 –> 00:49:09.260
Dehydration’s a real thing,
00:49:09.260 –> 00:49:11.440
and if you’re eating stuff like that,
00:49:11.440 –> 00:49:13.260
you know, to sustain yourself,
00:49:13.260 –> 00:49:15.740
you have to make sure that you drink plenty of water,
00:49:15.740 –> 00:49:18.540
because, you know, you’re gonna have stuff like that.
00:49:18.540 –> 00:49:20.740
One of the things I do,
00:49:20.740 –> 00:49:22.660
only the two I wanted to point out,
00:49:22.660 –> 00:49:23.960
and a lot of people don’t know this,
00:49:23.960 –> 00:49:26.380
but if you’re actually in the woods,
00:49:26.380 –> 00:49:28.060
and I saw this, I didn’t see,
00:49:28.060 –> 00:49:29.900
I saw this on a survival show once,
00:49:29.900 –> 00:49:31.140
but it brought it up to me,
00:49:31.140 –> 00:49:33.180
’cause I was talking to a friend of mine about this,
00:49:33.180 –> 00:49:34.580
where he was saying that, you know,
00:49:34.580 –> 00:49:37.300
you get people that actually, you know,
00:49:37.300 –> 00:49:39.500
in the wild would kill bison and stuff like that,
00:49:39.500 –> 00:49:43.360
or kill a moose or anything like those things,
00:49:43.360 –> 00:49:46.080
and they still are having trouble,
00:49:46.080 –> 00:49:48.700
and you think about how much meat’s on a bison,
00:49:48.700 –> 00:49:52.220
or how much meat is on like a moose,
00:49:52.220 –> 00:49:54.840
but the problem with those kinds of meats are,
00:49:54.840 –> 00:49:57.280
there’s not a lot of fat in them, they’re very lean,
00:49:57.280 –> 00:50:01.400
and you need fat to be able to,
00:50:01.400 –> 00:50:04.360
you know, ’cause the fat,
00:50:04.360 –> 00:50:06.140
and ’cause the protein’s good for you,
00:50:06.140 –> 00:50:09.840
but the fat in the meat is what gives you some of the energy
00:50:09.840 –> 00:50:12.640
and helps you, you know, kind of helps you get going.
00:50:12.640 –> 00:50:16.440
Just eating raw protein in the woods,
00:50:16.440 –> 00:50:18.960
or in any of these survival situations,
00:50:18.960 –> 00:50:20.140
isn’t going to sustain you.
00:50:20.140 –> 00:50:22.960
You still need the fat from the meat.
00:50:22.960 –> 00:50:25.780
So when they kill these pretty lean animals,
00:50:25.780 –> 00:50:27.420
these people are still starving because,
00:50:27.420 –> 00:50:29.080
they’re not starving, but they’re still losing weight.
00:50:29.080 –> 00:50:30.960
They’re full, but they’re still losing weight
00:50:30.960 –> 00:50:33.640
because the meat they’re eating is so lean,
00:50:33.640 –> 00:50:35.920
they’re not getting the fat that the body needs
00:50:35.920 –> 00:50:39.660
to build, to, you know, to have energy.
00:50:39.660 –> 00:50:43.800
So that’s really important to know about that.
00:50:43.800 –> 00:50:45.880
One of the things I have seen people do,
00:50:45.880 –> 00:50:47.200
or heard of people doing,
00:50:47.200 –> 00:50:48.900
is with these animals that are real lean,
00:50:48.900 –> 00:50:51.120
what they’ll do is they’ll, if they get them,
00:50:51.120 –> 00:50:52.900
they’ll actually take the liver fat,
00:50:52.900 –> 00:50:55.400
or the fat from the liver,
00:50:55.400 –> 00:50:58.480
and they’ll actually mix it in with the meat.
00:50:58.480 –> 00:51:00.240
So there actually is some fat in the meat,
00:51:00.240 –> 00:51:01.480
and that’s obviously very out in the wild
00:51:01.480 –> 00:51:03.240
and stuff like that, but,
00:51:03.240 –> 00:51:05.120
I actually heard of people doing that.
00:51:05.120 –> 00:51:07.180
Well they’re actually, they’ll get a moose,
00:51:07.180 –> 00:51:11.720
or they’ll get an elk or bison, really lean meat.
00:51:11.720 –> 00:51:13.400
And what they’ll actually do in the wild
00:51:13.400 –> 00:51:14.560
is they’ll actually take the,
00:51:14.560 –> 00:51:16.400
they’ll actually take the liver, the kidneys,
00:51:16.400 –> 00:51:17.600
and they’ll actually take the fat,
00:51:17.600 –> 00:51:20.360
and they’ll actually mix that fat in with the meat.
00:51:20.360 –> 00:51:22.060
So if you have like, say, a slab of beef,
00:51:22.060 –> 00:51:24.200
you know, you take maybe a strip or something like that
00:51:24.200 –> 00:51:26.320
of the kidney or the liver fat,
00:51:26.320 –> 00:51:28.460
and mix it in with that.
00:51:28.460 –> 00:51:29.980
And this way, at least you’re getting some fat
00:51:29.980 –> 00:51:32.180
in your diet along with the food you’re eating.
00:51:32.180 –> 00:51:33.580
So this way you can sustain yourself,
00:51:33.580 –> 00:51:36.360
because just eating that lean beef like that,
00:51:36.360 –> 00:51:40.000
that’s got next to no fat in it, is just not enough.
00:51:40.000 –> 00:51:43.840
You will actually get, it’s just not enough,
00:51:43.840 –> 00:51:46.320
there’s not enough fat in it for your body
00:51:46.320 –> 00:51:47.940
to be able to keep it going.
00:51:47.940 –> 00:51:48.840
You’re not gonna starve,
00:51:48.840 –> 00:51:50.000
but you’re not gonna have any energy either,
00:51:50.000 –> 00:51:51.620
because you don’t have the fat
00:51:51.620 –> 00:51:53.640
that you need to break it down.
00:51:53.640 –> 00:51:55.080
I know it sounds ridiculous,
00:51:55.080 –> 00:51:57.440
I know it sounds kinda crazy,
00:51:57.440 –> 00:51:59.480
but I’ve actually, you actually, like I said,
00:51:59.480 –> 00:52:04.120
you can actually starve despite killing a big animal.
00:52:04.120 –> 00:52:05.600
I know that people are gonna say to me,
00:52:05.600 –> 00:52:06.440
but this is a show, they’re gonna be like,
00:52:06.440 –> 00:52:07.520
“What the heck is this guy talking about?”
00:52:07.520 –> 00:52:09.440
But yes, look it up, you actually,
00:52:09.440 –> 00:52:13.680
lean meats like that, while they’re good for you,
00:52:13.680 –> 00:52:16.520
they put, you need the additional fat.
00:52:16.520 –> 00:52:19.240
Now, that’s in a survival situation.
00:52:19.240 –> 00:52:23.240
If you’re here in, if you’re in a regular situation,
00:52:23.240 –> 00:52:24.640
that meat, you eat the meat,
00:52:24.640 –> 00:52:25.640
you’re gonna get fat from other things,
00:52:25.640 –> 00:52:28.680
you’re into milk or whatever you drink, coffee,
00:52:28.680 –> 00:52:30.640
or whatever, you’re gonna get the fat from other things.
00:52:30.640 –> 00:52:33.480
So in a regular home situation,
00:52:33.480 –> 00:52:35.460
you’re gonna get fat from other things you eat.
00:52:35.460 –> 00:52:37.960
But in a survival situation like that,
00:52:37.960 –> 00:52:39.680
where that may be the only thing you’re gonna be eating
00:52:39.680 –> 00:52:41.680
for the next couple of, for the next week or two,
00:52:41.680 –> 00:52:44.840
couple weeks, that might not be enough to sustain you,
00:52:44.840 –> 00:52:46.680
despite having all that meat,
00:52:46.680 –> 00:52:48.000
it might not be enough to sustain you.
00:52:48.000 –> 00:52:50.880
That’s part of the issue with killing a lean animal
00:52:50.880 –> 00:52:54.120
like that is you’re not going to have the fat content
00:52:54.120 –> 00:52:58.200
you need to be able to give you the energy to keep going
00:52:58.200 –> 00:52:59.640
because it’s too lean.
00:52:59.640 –> 00:53:01.320
So like I said, you’re gonna have to make sure
00:53:01.320 –> 00:53:03.360
you use the kidney or the liver fat
00:53:03.360 –> 00:53:06.120
and mix that in with the meat,
00:53:06.120 –> 00:53:08.360
or otherwise you’re gonna be in a bad situation.
00:53:08.360 –> 00:53:10.760
That’s the same thing with, believe it or not,
00:53:10.760 –> 00:53:12.040
I mean, that’s the same thing.
00:53:12.040 –> 00:53:14.480
I hate to say it with killing rabbits.
00:53:14.480 –> 00:53:16.440
There’s not a lot of meat.
00:53:16.440 –> 00:53:18.420
There’s a lot of meat on a rabbit,
00:53:18.420 –> 00:53:19.800
but there’s not a lot of fat in a rabbit,
00:53:19.800 –> 00:53:22.160
especially if it’s the winter months,
00:53:22.160 –> 00:53:24.560
there’s not a lot of fat in a rabbit, it’s a lean meat.
00:53:24.560 –> 00:53:27.480
So you’re gonna have to eat the intestines, the liver,
00:53:27.480 –> 00:53:30.860
and the kidneys and all that
00:53:30.860 –> 00:53:32.960
to get any kind of fat out of it
00:53:32.960 –> 00:53:37.120
because rabbit meat itself is very, very lean,
00:53:37.120 –> 00:53:39.000
especially in those winter months
00:53:39.000 –> 00:53:41.080
where you’re not getting, where they’re not getting
00:53:41.080 –> 00:53:45.160
a lot of food, they are pretty lean animals
00:53:45.160 –> 00:53:46.960
and you’re gonna have to really be,
00:53:46.960 –> 00:53:49.800
if you get ’em, you think, and again,
00:53:49.800 –> 00:53:52.080
now if you’re, again, that’s in a survival situation.
00:53:52.080 –> 00:53:53.740
If you’re here, you get a rabbit, eat it,
00:53:53.740 –> 00:53:56.320
you’re gonna get fat from other things you’re eating
00:53:56.320 –> 00:54:01.280
around in general, but in those situations
00:54:01.280 –> 00:54:02.800
where you’re relying solely on that,
00:54:02.800 –> 00:54:06.380
a rabbit may not have enough fat on it to sustain you
00:54:06.380 –> 00:54:08.640
because rabbits are very, very lean.
00:54:08.640 –> 00:54:11.840
That’s why when a lot of times, if you get a rabbit,
00:54:11.840 –> 00:54:13.240
they’ll also, you know, you eat a rabbit,
00:54:13.240 –> 00:54:15.120
people say, well, you know, there’s not,
00:54:15.120 –> 00:54:16.460
one, there’s not a lot of meat on a rabbit,
00:54:16.460 –> 00:54:18.520
but two, there’s not a lot of fat on a rabbit
00:54:18.520 –> 00:54:20.200
and you need that fat.
00:54:20.200 –> 00:54:21.540
That’s why a lot of times when you watch
00:54:21.540 –> 00:54:23.640
any of these survival shows, they’ll get a rabbit,
00:54:23.640 –> 00:54:25.040
but then in the next breath, they’re also saying,
00:54:25.040 –> 00:54:26.780
I need a fish, and the reason why they need a fish
00:54:26.780 –> 00:54:30.120
is they need the acids and the fats from the fish
00:54:30.120 –> 00:54:32.480
because the meat on a rabbit, especially in those
00:54:32.480 –> 00:54:34.200
off months, it’s just, there’s no fat on ’em,
00:54:34.200 –> 00:54:36.640
they’re very lean, so you’re not getting that fat
00:54:36.640 –> 00:54:38.360
that you need in those survival situations
00:54:38.360 –> 00:54:42.740
to really be able to survive because you need that fat
00:54:42.740 –> 00:54:45.420
for breaking down and the glucose and the energy
00:54:45.420 –> 00:54:48.680
and stuff like that, so it’s kind of interesting
00:54:48.680 –> 00:54:51.120
when you think about, okay, I’m in a survival situation,
00:54:51.120 –> 00:54:55.540
I’ve went ahead and I’ve, you know, I’ve gotten my,
00:54:55.540 –> 00:54:58.000
you know, I’ve gotten an animal and now all of a sudden,
00:54:58.000 –> 00:55:00.400
I’m still starving, it’s just crazy,
00:55:00.400 –> 00:55:03.000
but in those situations, you know, you’re dealing with,
00:55:03.000 –> 00:55:05.040
that’s your only food source and those things,
00:55:05.040 –> 00:55:07.860
sometimes those animals you get are just so lean,
00:55:07.860 –> 00:55:10.120
especially in the winter months where they’re not getting
00:55:10.120 –> 00:55:12.140
a lot to eat and they’re kind of, you know,
00:55:12.140 –> 00:55:14.960
running off their fat reserves, you get an animal
00:55:14.960 –> 00:55:18.380
that has, that’s really struggling to find food,
00:55:18.380 –> 00:55:20.540
you’re gonna kill it and then you’re gonna be in a situation
00:55:20.540 –> 00:55:22.580
where crap, there’s not a lot of fat in this animal,
00:55:22.580 –> 00:55:25.060
so now, you know, it’s kind of, you know,
00:55:25.060 –> 00:55:26.420
it kind of works its way down the chain,
00:55:26.420 –> 00:55:29.020
the circle of life, you know, they’re not getting enough fat
00:55:29.020 –> 00:55:31.200
so now you’re not gonna get the fat you need.
00:55:31.200 –> 00:55:33.760
You know, it’s, like I said, it’s weird, like I said,
00:55:33.760 –> 00:55:35.680
when you’re in those survival situations, think of like,
00:55:35.680 –> 00:55:37.700
okay, well I killed, like I said, I killed an animal,
00:55:37.700 –> 00:55:40.700
but I’m still not getting enough food.
00:55:40.700 –> 00:55:42.600
You are getting food, but you don’t have enough fat
00:55:42.600 –> 00:55:44.720
to break down that food, you know what I mean?
00:55:44.720 –> 00:55:47.800
It’s very, like I said, they’re very lean animals
00:55:47.800 –> 00:55:50.000
and those kind of things are just tough
00:55:50.000 –> 00:55:50.900
when you’re in those situations
00:55:50.900 –> 00:55:52.360
when it’s your only food supply.
00:55:52.360 –> 00:55:54.380
Here, like I said, if you get an, you know, here,
00:55:54.380 –> 00:55:57.680
especially, you know, in a regular normal situation,
00:55:57.680 –> 00:56:00.420
you’re getting an animal, you know, you’re eating it,
00:56:00.420 –> 00:56:02.140
it’s lean, there’s a fat, it’s not an issue
00:56:02.140 –> 00:56:04.600
because you are gonna get fat from other things
00:56:04.600 –> 00:56:07.460
you’re eating, you know, so it’s not as big of an issue,
00:56:07.460 –> 00:56:11.760
but in those situations, when that’s your only food source,
00:56:11.760 –> 00:56:13.260
you know, there might not be enough fat
00:56:13.260 –> 00:56:14.600
on those animals to sustain you,
00:56:14.600 –> 00:56:17.320
so something to think about if you’re ever in the woods
00:56:17.320 –> 00:56:18.400
in a survival situation.
00:56:18.400 –> 00:56:21.240
I know it sounds crazy, but it is something
00:56:21.240 –> 00:56:23.440
you gotta think about if you’re out there,
00:56:23.440 –> 00:56:26.000
you know, trying to survive on just what you’re catching.
00:56:26.000 –> 00:56:27.220
It’s pretty interesting.
00:56:27.220 –> 00:56:29.000
So I am going to wrap it up,
00:56:29.000 –> 00:56:31.480
probably my longest episode we’ve had in quite a while.
00:56:31.480 –> 00:56:33.660
I wanna thank everybody for listening
00:56:33.660 –> 00:56:36.000
and we will see you on the next episode.
00:56:36.000 –> 00:56:37.000
Thank you very much.
