So again survival pod local.com and that’s how we’re going to go ahead and support the show really appreciate that
00:01:09.260 –> 00:01:13.000
Took a couple couple weeks off not gonna lie. I had to take some time off
00:01:13.000 –> 00:01:15.880
I had a couple things going on also to you had a
00:01:15.880 –> 00:01:20.500
Had a horrible case of laryngitis. I just couldn’t shake and it’s kind of hard to do a podcast
00:01:20.500 –> 00:01:23.480
When you have a laryngitis, it’s a little bit difficult
00:01:23.480 –> 00:01:26.080
So took a little time off from that for a while
00:01:26.480 –> 00:01:30.960
But I figured I get in the show out doing here on my little mobile rig here on my ride on my ride home
00:01:30.960 –> 00:01:35.460
Blue like this thing. I see you guys everyone sort of podcast the Tamzin is a great company
00:01:35.460 –> 00:01:41.680
Wonderful recorder and I’ve also started using I hope you guys notice the audio cut cleared up a lot better
00:01:41.680 –> 00:01:43.820
I want my home rig. It’s not a problem
00:01:43.820 –> 00:01:48.960
But when I’m on my mobile rig the sound quality sometimes isn’t the greatest player been messing around a lot with
00:01:48.960 –> 00:01:54.480
Adobe Audacity and I’ve been cleaning up the audio and noise filters and all that
00:01:54.480 –> 00:02:00.460
I’m really getting to be quite the quite the pro editor. I guess you would say so we have that going on as well
00:02:00.460 –> 00:02:03.660
So I’ve been messing with that stuff, but the news obviously
00:02:03.660 –> 00:02:09.660
There’s been a lot of it, but especially with this whole bank thing that’s going on right now with
00:02:09.660 –> 00:02:13.700
The Silicon Valley Bank. It’s just a really a shame
00:02:13.700 –> 00:02:17.860
This got so blown out of proportion by the media
00:02:17.860 –> 00:02:22.960
It really is quite upsetting because you know, the media kind of blew this out of proportion
00:02:22.960 –> 00:02:26.000
It’s only one bank one or two banks
00:02:26.000 –> 00:02:30.660
That’s it and they’re in a unique situation because of their clientele
00:02:30.660 –> 00:02:34.400
and I really think it’s really horrible the way they they hype this up and
00:02:34.400 –> 00:02:38.980
They were home that’s gonna be a run people gonna make runs on the bank and and all that kind of stuff
00:02:38.980 –> 00:02:42.560
And then obviously Biden and had a comment say hey, you know
00:02:42.560 –> 00:02:47.800
There’s money safe. We’re gonna bring it. We’re gonna protect it and all that kind of stuff
00:02:47.800 –> 00:02:52.940
But what’s really upsetting to me is how the news typed it. I mean little bit of this way
00:02:52.940 –> 00:03:00.600
It really wasn’t that big of a story. It was bit. It was big on Twitter. I would say the majority of people
00:03:00.600 –> 00:03:05.200
Didn’t know about it unless they were on Twitter then all of a sudden
00:03:05.200 –> 00:03:10.420
the media news media got a hold of it and it just freaking
00:03:10.420 –> 00:03:14.180
Exploded and then they were afraid that since the story got so big
00:03:14.680 –> 00:03:19.320
That they’re gonna do runs of the bank and then they were just gonna crash the economy people aren’t gonna get their paychecks
00:03:19.320 –> 00:03:27.500
And all that kind of it was only like one two banks. That was it. And I mean it really was an overblown
00:03:27.500 –> 00:03:33.800
Sorry, couldn’t have been much worse. Yes, but until the mainstream media got their fingers in it and blew it up
00:03:33.800 –> 00:03:39.000
Really? It really was not going to be it really wasn’t gonna be that big of a deal. It was one bank
00:03:39.000 –> 00:03:40.640
It was Silicon Valley Bank
00:03:40.640 –> 00:03:48.160
They’re in a unique situation because all they do is banking for startups. So you have people that say get their get their money from
00:03:48.160 –> 00:03:55.360
From say their investors they invest it. So they got 50 60 million sitting in a check account, which isn’t FDIC insured
00:03:55.360 –> 00:04:01.780
You’re only insured up to 250,000 and then you carry a separate insurance policy for all the money that’s in that that you have over that
00:04:01.780 –> 00:04:04.360
Forget the name of the insurance off the top of my head
00:04:04.360 –> 00:04:09.640
But there is a I forget things called float insurance something like that. I forget that don’t quote me on the name of it, but
00:04:10.280 –> 00:04:13.800
And there’s an insurance that you have for all that kind of over to that
00:04:13.800 –> 00:04:16.440
And what happened was the bank?
00:04:16.440 –> 00:04:21.680
The bank wasn’t the kind of bank that gave out loans really like mortgages and stuff like that to make their money back
00:04:21.680 –> 00:04:26.460
So the bank in order to make money was investing in all these Treasury bonds
00:04:26.460 –> 00:04:29.920
But as we all know from watching the news the Treasury and all that
00:04:29.920 –> 00:04:34.520
The those bonds on the yields like 60 cents on the dollar have to wait till they cash out
00:04:34.520 –> 00:04:36.320
That’s the way this kind of things work
00:04:36.320 –> 00:04:41.960
and the other problem with that being is that every time they raise the the Fed raises the interest rates the
00:04:41.960 –> 00:04:46.900
Value of those bonds go down and obviously what is the they’ve been doing braising the interest rate?
00:04:46.900 –> 00:04:50.760
So what was happening was I guess a couple of rich investors?
00:04:50.760 –> 00:04:56.920
Decided just to tell their companies that they invested and say hey pull your money out of Silicon Valley Bank
00:04:56.920 –> 00:05:00.400
It’s not safe. The bank doesn’t have a whole lot of working capital
00:05:00.400 –> 00:05:03.040
I’m concerned about it pull your money out
00:05:03.440 –> 00:05:06.620
So they went and so much a couple of them went and did that
00:05:06.620 –> 00:05:13.480
well that caused a big issue big problem and then they were afraid that people are gonna make runs on the banks and
00:05:13.480 –> 00:05:18.320
withdraw their money and then there wouldn’t be any money in the banks for people and stuff like that and
00:05:18.320 –> 00:05:23.160
It just really was terrible. I know some people probably did out of fear, but
00:05:23.160 –> 00:05:29.320
Completely blown way out of proportion. I like I said, it’s one bank if they’re not a big bank
00:05:29.640 –> 00:05:34.800
And and that when it was just really the whole thing got blown way out of proportion by the news media
00:05:34.800 –> 00:05:38.680
It’s really a shame that that happened. It looks like everything’s okay
00:05:38.680 –> 00:05:41.240
now obviously the president came in and said
00:05:41.240 –> 00:05:41.720
you know
00:05:41.720 –> 00:05:46.880
but my other issue with this is is not even so much the president what he did because I
00:05:46.880 –> 00:05:52.420
Understand if you’re a money person you want to make sure your money’s safe. I do get it if I had investments
00:05:52.420 –> 00:05:57.880
I sure as anything wouldn’t want my lose all my money over the bank and not being FDIC ensure
00:05:57.880 –> 00:06:03.000
That’s reason why we have the FDIC because banks sometimes we’re not we’re taking people’s money
00:06:03.000 –> 00:06:06.300
And then they couldn’t give it back to them and stuff
00:06:06.300 –> 00:06:10.520
but the reason what the thing that really gets to me about this whole situation is a
00:06:10.520 –> 00:06:14.720
Bunch of those startups that needed their money protected were crypto currencies, which are literally
00:06:14.720 –> 00:06:21.000
Companies that are always like oh no, we don’t you know, we don’t want the bank touching our but we don’t want the government involved
00:06:21.000 –> 00:06:26.200
We don’t want the banks involved. But yet in this case, they’re like, hey, mr. Government come help us. We need help
00:06:26.560 –> 00:06:28.740
You know and so it’s like well, wait a minute
00:06:28.740 –> 00:06:32.880
You guys are always saying crypto is the future and then you don’t want decentralized
00:06:32.880 –> 00:06:35.680
You don’t want the government of all but in this case you sure as hell do
00:06:35.680 –> 00:06:41.680
You know and stuff like that. So I think that these companies at times they’re they’re very much there
00:06:41.680 –> 00:06:46.020
They’re anti government, but they’re they want the government the government’s gonna save them
00:06:46.020 –> 00:06:50.660
So I thought that was an interesting thing to talk about with this whole situation with the banks
00:06:50.660 –> 00:06:56.100
but the other thing people don’t realize is that the government kind of caused this problem to with
00:06:57.060 –> 00:07:01.320
Constantly, you know low, you know upping interest rates and causing those
00:07:01.320 –> 00:07:05.880
those Treasury bonds to keep going down in value or
00:07:05.880 –> 00:07:09.780
You’re having to buy them so they can make money on them because right now they’re at work
00:07:09.780 –> 00:07:11.300
Like I think what 60 cents on the dollar
00:07:11.300 –> 00:07:17.620
so I actually don’t really blame the government for actually coming in and having to kind of fix this because
00:07:17.620 –> 00:07:24.400
them raising the interest rate kind of caused this problem to from being honest with you and a lot of people don’t realize that is
00:07:24.400 –> 00:07:27.540
They’re saying well the government, you know, the government’s sticking their nose in again
00:07:27.540 –> 00:07:31.380
I’m like, well the government kind of caused this problem with the interest rates going up and up and up and up
00:07:31.380 –> 00:07:37.020
So we’ll have to wait and see, you know, like I said what what you know, what happens what transpires?
00:07:37.020 –> 00:07:38.040
It’s like everything’s gonna be okay
00:07:38.040 –> 00:07:41.940
Now there are some you know other things happening
00:07:41.940 –> 00:07:46.080
There may be another bank that may bail out another bank some of that you’ve all seen it online
00:07:46.080 –> 00:07:50.560
But for the most part the government’s saying that your money is safe
00:07:50.720 –> 00:07:56.040
And you have nothing to worry about and you know kind of just go on your life now and a lot of these startups
00:07:56.040 –> 00:08:00.100
I don’t blame them too because that money is so important to them because you know
00:08:00.100 –> 00:08:05.720
They’ve that money buys you years of runway that you can pay your staff pay your salaries pay your bills
00:08:05.720 –> 00:08:09.700
You know these sites if you don’t pay your hosting bills, they take your servers down some of that
00:08:09.700 –> 00:08:14.400
You obviously have to pay your staff and so I do understand the concern but you know
00:08:14.400 –> 00:08:16.220
Like I said, everything’s gonna be just fine
00:08:16.220 –> 00:08:21.020
and the bank is also like I said, they also had some issues with this too in the sense of they didn’t have a
00:08:21.020 –> 00:08:25.440
Somebody on staff that there’s I think every bank is supposed to have a risk advisor
00:08:25.440 –> 00:08:31.920
For them they didn’t have that they had just fired him and they never really have fired the person they never rehired them
00:08:31.920 –> 00:08:37.240
There was a whole lot of issues with that. So like I said, all that has been resolved now
00:08:37.240 –> 00:08:39.560
So if any of you did have any money in Silicon Bank
00:08:39.560 –> 00:08:40.460
No
00:08:40.460 –> 00:08:43.480
Your your money is safe and this that whole story
00:08:43.480 –> 00:08:47.840
Like I said, the media really really blew my opinion blew it out of proportion
00:08:47.840 –> 00:08:49.840
Like I said to one or it was one or two
00:08:49.840 –> 00:08:53.640
They’re big they’re not they mean they’re big banks since they have a lot of money in them, but they’re not
00:08:53.640 –> 00:08:55.480
I mean, they’re not huge banks
00:08:55.480 –> 00:09:01.500
It’s not like, you know Bank of America clap, you know or anything like that or any of those big huge national banks
00:09:01.500 –> 00:09:06.460
It’s one bank. And so, you know one a couple of a couple of banks in Silicon Valley. That’s it
00:09:06.460 –> 00:09:08.880
So like I said, it’s not a big company
00:09:09.080 –> 00:09:14.720
but also, you know, but the other the other thing too and a lot of people said why didn’t somebody else just buy the bank and
00:09:14.720 –> 00:09:19.480
I didn’t I didn’t know this apparently in banking laws. That’s something if you’re a lawyer
00:09:19.480 –> 00:09:23.420
That’s something you can specialize in just in that I know banking laws
00:09:23.420 –> 00:09:28.560
especially or a very particular thing and banks can only have
00:09:28.560 –> 00:09:36.080
X-amount of deposits a day where the way they’re considered. They’re considered too big or something like that. It’s all part of the whole situation
00:09:37.240 –> 00:09:39.620
With the rules that were put in place in 2008
00:09:39.620 –> 00:09:46.440
Which I mean got taken off and I think it was 2018 which kind of caused some of this problem with Silicon Valley Bank
00:09:46.440 –> 00:09:50.620
But some of the other banks literally, I think they said like like Bank of America
00:09:50.620 –> 00:09:55.360
I think it was Chase Bank and some of the other bigger banks maybe Capital One
00:09:55.360 –> 00:10:01.680
They’re they basically couldn’t buy the other bank because their deposits are literally run up right up against that
00:10:01.680 –> 00:10:04.680
That threshold that a bank is allowed to have so
00:10:05.080 –> 00:10:07.560
Like I said, it was interesting too because I got people said why not?
00:10:07.560 –> 00:10:08.600
somebody else’s buy the bank
00:10:08.600 –> 00:10:15.720
But apparently that’s these bigger banks can’t because they’re they have to go by these certain laws and banking laws itself is so confusing
00:10:15.720 –> 00:10:19.440
There’s so much of all things. Did you have lawyers that just specialize in banking law?
00:10:19.440 –> 00:10:20.980
and like I said
00:10:20.980 –> 00:10:25.920
that’s kind of you know kind of where you’re at with this so but like I said all that’s kind of getting worked out and
00:10:25.920 –> 00:10:32.120
Everything’s kind of moving forward. So that whole thing which was blown way out of proportion. We got blown up online
00:10:32.840 –> 00:10:37.140
You know it became you know, it became like everything else. Sometimes it’s online
00:10:37.140 –> 00:10:41.020
It gets crazy then once the media picked it up and all that kind of stuff. It just got out of hand
00:10:41.020 –> 00:10:46.920
So but like I said, at least everything’s safe now, so some other things as well
00:10:46.920 –> 00:10:51.140
I wanted to bring up last podcast of the podcast before last we brought up
00:10:51.140 –> 00:10:57.680
Steven Crowder with ladder with Crowder he has announced that he is going to be moving coming
00:10:57.680 –> 00:11:02.280
I believe it’s this week to rumble. He’s gonna be having his own subscription based service
00:11:02.520 –> 00:11:08.400
a lot a lot of media attention around it a lot probably because rumble signed him such a big deal and I think they gave
00:11:08.400 –> 00:11:12.960
Him equity and stuff like that. It’s very similar to what Howard Stern did when he joined satellite
00:11:12.960 –> 00:11:15.240
They gave him a big load of money plus equity in the company
00:11:15.240 –> 00:11:20.160
But you know, he’s saying he’s got to do a subscription service because you know
00:11:20.160 –> 00:11:20.960
He you know
00:11:20.960 –> 00:11:27.080
Otherwise, he’s gonna be de monetized and stuff like that and like I said in last podcast that really isn’t that common
00:11:27.080 –> 00:11:31.840
You know these companies buy you with the you know, the emphasis they’re gonna make money because you know
00:11:31.840 –> 00:11:36.940
They’re basically leasing your content and they’re gonna monetize it make money with it behind a paywall
00:11:36.940 –> 00:11:43.840
Well, if you get taken down off any of the other media services, that’s less, you know less traction for them
00:11:43.840 –> 00:11:48.120
So they were gonna dock his pain. He didn’t want to do that. So now he’s starting a subscription service
00:11:48.120 –> 00:11:55.740
Very similar to what has already been done with with you know, right-wing media stuff like, you know
00:11:55.740 –> 00:12:01.600
I think Kumiya Gavin McGinnis a lot of a lot of a lot of people have done it
00:12:02.000 –> 00:12:06.560
You know, he’s he’s getting a lot of press about it because I think he’s like the biggest one rumbles ever signed
00:12:06.560 –> 00:12:07.880
So there’s a lot of press to it
00:12:07.880 –> 00:12:12.400
But you know, he it’s any of those those kinds of deals where you know rumbles gonna sign him
00:12:12.400 –> 00:12:17.600
They’re gonna partner with him. They’re gonna put his content, you know out there and
00:12:17.600 –> 00:12:21.960
You know, it’s gonna be behind a paywall and the subscript subscription base and all
00:12:21.960 –> 00:12:25.600
I mean, it’s – he’s basically gonna give you an hour for free and then the next hour
00:12:25.600 –> 00:12:30.500
So it’s gonna be behind the paywall a little bit different than what some people do
00:12:30.500 –> 00:12:32.900
But again, it’s similar business model
00:12:32.900 –> 00:12:36.260
It’s very similar to what you know
00:12:36.260 –> 00:12:43.980
Well Spotify, you know is all their podcasts are free on there. But you know you have to do
00:12:43.980 –> 00:12:51.860
But we’re talking like but I’m trying to think what like podcast one is a popular example that were the first like ten shows are
00:12:51.860 –> 00:12:53.960
Free and then after that you have to buy it to get the archives
00:12:53.960 –> 00:12:58.700
He’s gonna do like an hour free every day. Then the second hour is gonna be paid again
00:12:58.700 –> 00:13:04.020
Not really a new business model satellite did this for a while with like opening Anthony and Stern
00:13:04.020 –> 00:13:10.640
Where you’d get like, you know an hour or half hour for free and they’ve wanted the rest you had to pay for it
00:13:10.640 –> 00:13:15.680
They did this early on like I said, there’s a lot of subscription services that do this now
00:13:15.680 –> 00:13:18.560
but he’s gonna because he’s joining rumble and
00:13:18.560 –> 00:13:20.720
Like I said, he’s doing his mug club
00:13:20.720 –> 00:13:28.300
Like he always did and he’s gonna be subscription based all supported subscription base plus monetization from whatever people watch this content on rumble
00:13:28.460 –> 00:13:30.740
You know again, not really a new business model
00:13:30.740 –> 00:13:33.800
But I mean it’s been making waves because you know
00:13:33.800 –> 00:13:38.180
He turned down a 50 only reason why I think it’s making waves because he turned out 50 million dollars
00:13:38.180 –> 00:13:45.540
To do his own thing because he’s so dedicated in this movement that you know right-wing media and all that kind of stuff. So he’s
00:13:45.540 –> 00:13:48.360
That’s why it’s all all about this
00:13:48.360 –> 00:13:53.980
But you know the I do understand his frustration as well as a lot of other create content creators
00:13:54.500 –> 00:14:00.280
And we always you know right-wing media always gets kind of picked on the worst but you know, one of the things
00:14:00.280 –> 00:14:07.040
That and and I understand the situation of its Facebook’s, you know, it’s their terms of service
00:14:07.040 –> 00:14:12.960
It’s Twitter’s terms of service. It’s rumbles turn, you know our YouTube terms service, but you know the
00:14:12.960 –> 00:14:18.300
Probably, you know and I get it if it’s their terms of service you want to play you play in their sandbox
00:14:18.300 –> 00:14:20.140
you have to play by their rules, but
00:14:20.140 –> 00:14:24.660
You know the whole situation of we’re gonna take something down if it’s not true
00:14:24.660 –> 00:14:31.140
But look at how much of that stuff that that everybody claimed was propaganda fake news. Not true
00:14:31.140 –> 00:14:33.660
Ended up
00:14:33.660 –> 00:14:35.660
Turning out to be true
00:14:35.660 –> 00:14:40.440
You know the whole the Wuhan lab that’s turning out they’re saying now that’s probably gonna be true
00:14:40.440 –> 00:14:44.720
They’re saying let’s see what else there was that was true. There’s a couple different things
00:14:44.720 –> 00:14:48.020
They talked to us especially to call that specifically jumped out at me because that was a big one
00:14:48.020 –> 00:14:51.860
but this kind of when all this stuff started with the fake news and all that kind of stuff and
00:14:51.860 –> 00:14:58.140
all that kind of BS but you know, like I said the Wuhan lab and and all this other stuff and then
00:14:58.140 –> 00:15:01.820
Obviously remember mentor and I know I don’t really think it’s really stupid
00:15:01.820 –> 00:15:04.800
anyway, the whole thing with the hunter vinyl laptop being to New York Post or
00:15:04.800 –> 00:15:10.620
Tweet being taken down and and stuff like that. I mean, I do think that it’s it is very common
00:15:10.620 –> 00:15:11.140
You know
00:15:11.140 –> 00:15:16.600
It’s something that was around before COVID but COVID really amplified it a lot of content creators now
00:15:16.860 –> 00:15:21.500
Have to really watch what they say because they’re afraid of being taken down or do you monetize?
00:15:21.500 –> 00:15:28.540
and all that sort of thing, but you know what my issue is and I brought this up to people before is
00:15:28.540 –> 00:15:33.620
Say somebody gets there and I’m not gonna I don’t have anybody specific but I’m just gonna use this as an example
00:15:33.620 –> 00:15:36.840
Say somebody for example
00:15:36.840 –> 00:15:38.820
gets gets
00:15:38.820 –> 00:15:44.840
Demonetized or the YouTube channel gets taken down because of propaganda or because fake news whatever you want to call it
00:15:45.400 –> 00:15:50.400
Well, what happens now that that news what two years later year and a half later what however long it’s been
00:15:50.400 –> 00:15:54.960
That news is now is now turns out that it is true. Well, okay
00:15:54.960 –> 00:15:58.400
Maybe at the time people thought it was, you know fake news, but it was true
00:15:58.400 –> 00:16:01.300
Well now shouldn’t that person be allowed to come back on now?
00:16:01.300 –> 00:16:05.300
I mean if we’re holding people to the standard of you know
00:16:05.300 –> 00:16:11.940
We’re gonna judge you by what was said 20 years ago by today’s standard that’s what counts against what cancel culture really is
00:16:12.820 –> 00:16:17.020
What why aren’t we why aren’t we doing why aren’t we we kind of doing the reverse of that now?
00:16:17.020 –> 00:16:21.380
I mean if we can if we can if we can judge somebody by something they did 20 years ago
00:16:21.380 –> 00:16:27.720
Why don’t we you know, somebody does something now and we think it’s fake and then we take them down
00:16:27.720 –> 00:16:30.440
Why don’t we put them first of all, I don’t think it’s right that they take them down
00:16:30.440 –> 00:16:33.880
Second of all, why aren’t they putting them back on?
00:16:33.880 –> 00:16:36.400
Why can’t you put that person back on?
00:16:36.400 –> 00:16:41.880
Okay, look at how many videos got taken down because of COVID propaganda that now are finding out really were true
00:16:41.940 –> 00:16:46.560
You know, there are side effects of the vaccine. There’s nothing you know, I mean that that’s true
00:16:46.560 –> 00:16:49.700
I’m not saying don’t get vaccinated because that’s not what I’m saying
00:16:49.700 –> 00:16:55.640
But I am saying that there were there was side effects from the vaccine. That was true. Okay
00:16:55.640 –> 00:16:59.580
The Wuhan lab thing that is true
00:16:59.580 –> 00:17:03.580
China lying about the numbers that’s turned out to be true
00:17:03.580 –> 00:17:08.780
There’s a lot of things that turned out to be true that people got there got their content or videos pulled down
00:17:09.440 –> 00:17:14.880
Because of it and and now that we’re finding out these things are true. Why aren’t these things being put back online?
00:17:14.880 –> 00:17:21.000
Why isn’t somebody that got the monetized or deplatformed, you know getting put back online now?
00:17:21.000 –> 00:17:24.100
I know you could say well they just went someplace else ready and I okay maybe that is true
00:17:24.100 –> 00:17:29.220
But either way, I mean what say these per say that video was demonetized and it’s still up
00:17:29.220 –> 00:17:35.140
Why is that video being monetized now? You know, I mean or why isn’t that podcast being put back up on Apple, you know?
00:17:35.680 –> 00:17:40.860
You know, I think part of the thing that is I think attractive to to me especially
00:17:40.860 –> 00:17:47.000
About rumble and I believe me you guys you guys who listen to me for a while, you know, I’m more libertarian
00:17:47.000 –> 00:17:49.000
I’m kind of live and let live
00:17:49.000 –> 00:17:51.760
rather than you know right or left but
00:17:51.760 –> 00:17:55.340
You know, my whole feelings about it is why?
00:17:55.340 –> 00:18:01.600
Why isn’t that whole thing being what why aren’t people being put back on now if that’s just starting out to be true
00:18:01.680 –> 00:18:07.260
You know, why aren’t these people good? Why isn’t YouTube or or any of those companies reaching out to people saying hey
00:18:07.260 –> 00:18:10.320
You know, we got a you know, we got to put this, you know
00:18:10.320 –> 00:18:14.940
We got to put this stuff back on and how could and how about people but let’s use prime example
00:18:14.940 –> 00:18:17.900
How about people like Joe Rogan who was doing stuff?
00:18:17.900 –> 00:18:22.280
And other podcasts are being taken off Spotify because of what they said
00:18:22.280 –> 00:18:27.680
But Joe Rogan wasn’t and I’ll tell you exactly why cuz Joe Rogan makes them a buttload of money
00:18:28.200 –> 00:18:33.540
Every time they run an ad on his show, I think it’s like they think they make half a million or a million dollars
00:18:33.540 –> 00:18:37.200
Okay, they are not Spotify cannot risk
00:18:37.200 –> 00:18:42.600
Losing that income they paid him a hundred thousand dollars two hundred to eight or two hundred million dollars
00:18:42.600 –> 00:18:48.320
Okay, they can’t lose that that income they need to run million dollar ads to pay for his contract
00:18:48.320 –> 00:18:54.580
They can’t lose that but he’s saying stuff that you’re taking other podcasts down for but because those podcasts are independent podcasters
00:18:54.580 –> 00:18:56.580
They’re independent content creators like myself
00:18:56.880 –> 00:19:01.880
Doesn’t matter but the fact that Rogan’s gotta get a hefty contract and he makes them a ton of money
00:19:01.880 –> 00:19:09.680
All of a sudden he’s not that’s not fair. Is it that’s that again? That’s typical America good almighty dollar BS, right?
00:19:09.680 –> 00:19:17.300
Or all the stuff that they found out about Fauci now it’s coming out. Okay. What why isn’t why isn’t the
00:19:17.300 –> 00:19:18.640
Why aren’t these people being allowed?
00:19:18.640 –> 00:19:24.480
You know put those put those tweets back up with those, you know, re monetize those videos do all that stuff
00:19:24.520 –> 00:19:29.240
Why aren’t apologies being issued to these people? Okay, I mean
00:19:29.240 –> 00:19:35.120
It’s I mean, it’s not right. I’m on the for I’m on the side of what is right is right and
00:19:35.120 –> 00:19:39.480
If you’re going to take people down or
00:19:39.480 –> 00:19:42.480
Demonetize people for what they’ve done
00:19:42.480 –> 00:19:49.460
And if you know Silicon Valley, you know big tech which has been untouched on modern on, you know
00:19:49.460 –> 00:19:51.840
Nothing ever happens to them
00:19:51.840 –> 00:19:59.560
Okay, there’s no there’s no regulation nothing like like there was back in the 90s with Microsoft’s of that if they’re allowed to do
00:19:59.560 –> 00:20:01.560
All this then then why aren’t?
00:20:01.560 –> 00:20:04.000
Why is nobody?
00:20:04.000 –> 00:20:07.640
You know, what why is nobody do why is they be done?
00:20:07.640 –> 00:20:11.500
What why is you know, they’re being allowed, you know
00:20:11.500 –> 00:20:15.060
If they’re allowed to be the little keepers of their little gateway and there’s gonna be no
00:20:15.060 –> 00:20:20.120
You know nothing with moderation or anything like that, you know
00:20:20.120 –> 00:20:23.640
But if big tech is gonna be the the gate holders of the Internet
00:20:23.640 –> 00:20:26.400
Why aren’t they?
00:20:26.400 –> 00:20:31.840
You know what? And why is it not? Why are they not? Why are they not being held accountable? There should be somebody there
00:20:31.840 –> 00:20:34.640
at the Congress or
00:20:34.640 –> 00:20:40.780
Senate president whatever should be saying to them. Hey, you know what, you know, we’re gonna regulate you or hey
00:20:40.780 –> 00:20:44.980
We got to talk about this whole situation or nothing. Nothing happens
00:20:45.800 –> 00:20:53.080
Because there’s no money in in that there’s no money in in protecting content creators, you know
00:20:53.080 –> 00:20:55.680
And the but there’s money in particular these big companies that pay big taxes
00:20:55.680 –> 00:21:00.640
You know and actually and the same thing and these companies by the way, too
00:21:00.640 –> 00:21:05.080
I like to point out too that these companies have gotten screwed in the long run in certain things
00:21:05.080 –> 00:21:10.920
probably sample and I want to bring this up because this is something else that we’ve talked about on the podcast born I just
00:21:10.920 –> 00:21:11.760
Found this out
00:21:11.760 –> 00:21:17.420
So a lot of people have talked about all the layoffs and actually Facebook just announced they’re gonna be doing another round of layoffs
00:21:17.420 –> 00:21:22.100
I guess they’re giving up on that whole bit their whole Bitcoin thing or whatever they were doing, but
00:21:22.100 –> 00:21:27.600
They’re laying these people off now. Everybody says well, they’re gonna get they’re gonna get two or three months severance pay
00:21:27.600 –> 00:21:31.640
Okay. Well, first of all, they have to by law in Canada and California
00:21:31.640 –> 00:21:38.820
If you’re going to lay somebody off you have to give them at least two months severance pay. Okay, that’s the law now
00:21:38.820 –> 00:21:44.240
Everybody says what’s a good law? Well, it is a good law because people will get paid for their salaries
00:21:44.240 –> 00:21:48.060
And if anybody can lay it off, I feel bad for it because it that it remotely affects your whole life
00:21:48.060 –> 00:21:53.380
You did nothing wrong and now you’re gonna lose your job. So I do feel bad for any of those people. I really really do
00:21:53.380 –> 00:21:56.360
But let’s look at this from the other side of it
00:21:56.360 –> 00:22:02.560
You as a company are laying somebody off to try to save money now, you’re being forced to pay two months additional salary
00:22:02.560 –> 00:22:05.880
Okay, and you’re gonna have to give them some sort
00:22:05.880 –> 00:22:09.240
I believe they have they have to at least pay two months worth of salary
00:22:09.240 –> 00:22:12.540
But I think they also have a required to give them a severance package
00:22:12.540 –> 00:22:15.140
I think don’t quote me on that but I know for sure it’s the two months
00:22:15.140 –> 00:22:20.780
Okay, while that is a great law and it protects the people and gives people two months of cushion to find another job
00:22:20.780 –> 00:22:28.020
There’s also a reason why the government did that in California. It wasn’t all just – oh we want to protect the
00:22:28.020 –> 00:22:33.520
You know the workers here in California, which California big I mean, California does have a lot
00:22:33.520 –> 00:22:37.780
I mean a big workforce there, especially with Silicon Valley, but there’s another reason for it, too
00:22:37.780 –> 00:22:44.300
The company say Google or Facebook who are laying off right has to pay two months salary. Well
00:22:44.300 –> 00:22:48.060
They also choose since they’re paying the two months of salary
00:22:48.060 –> 00:22:53.900
The gut the state California gets out of paying two months of unemployment
00:22:53.900 –> 00:22:59.500
Because those two months you’re getting paid goes towards your unemployment benefits
00:22:59.860 –> 00:23:04.320
So yeah, is it nice of them? It absolutely is is nice of
00:23:04.320 –> 00:23:07.800
California to have that law to protect the workers. I agree with that
00:23:07.800 –> 00:23:11.160
But it also is a nice way of California
00:23:11.160 –> 00:23:18.240
Getting out of paying two months of unemployment because that’s the first question they ask did you get your two months severance pay?
00:23:18.240 –> 00:23:20.500
People say all the time. Well, they just want to check to make sure you got it
00:23:20.500 –> 00:23:24.320
No, they also want to make sure that they’re not gonna date in and they don’t pay it because you know
00:23:24.320 –> 00:23:27.560
Believe me that whole thing is believe me that whole thing is just
00:23:27.920 –> 00:23:33.600
While it’s a great law and it’s there to protect the people also that help the government to don’t ever think be anybody
00:23:33.600 –> 00:23:35.600
That’s listening right now. Don’t ever
00:23:35.600 –> 00:23:39.860
Think the government does anything to protect you
00:23:39.860 –> 00:23:43.100
Is there things that protect you that they do?
00:23:43.100 –> 00:23:49.560
Absolutely, but nothing their mind very rarely does the government ever do anything with you in mind
00:23:49.560 –> 00:23:55.340
It’s all done for them and if it comes down and helps you that’s great
00:23:55.340 –> 00:23:58.660
But it’s mostly it’s always done for them or for votes
00:23:58.660 –> 00:24:05.580
Because like it or not every time Biden comes on the news and any of them it’s not just Biden Trump’s done it
00:24:05.580 –> 00:24:09.040
They’ve all done it any of them that come on and forgive student loans
00:24:09.040 –> 00:24:13.700
Okay, that’s all that’s all that does is buy votes
00:24:13.700 –> 00:24:16.600
That’s what that does because every time they forgive student loans
00:24:16.600 –> 00:24:22.000
That is without a doubt going to buy them some votes and they know that and that’s why they do that now
00:24:22.000 –> 00:24:24.400
Yes, does it help a lot of college kids? Absolutely
00:24:24.920 –> 00:24:31.840
Okay, great. I didn’t get mine forgiven but whatever. Okay, but that also not buys them votes. Okay, it’s not done
00:24:31.840 –> 00:24:35.260
Just because all the government was trying to help you out
00:24:35.260 –> 00:24:36.320
No
00:24:36.320 –> 00:24:42.720
There’s a motive involved with it and it’s called we need we need to protect we need to we need to buy votes
00:24:42.720 –> 00:24:49.580
What’s the way we can make the taxpayers pay money and get us votes and that the sears ways for loan loan forgiveness?
00:24:49.840 –> 00:24:56.420
So like I said, it’s always done the government know they do things that does that do help people but in the end
00:24:56.420 –> 00:25:00.480
It’s always done for them for whatever reason it is to
00:25:00.480 –> 00:25:02.680
That it’s just the way it is
00:25:02.680 –> 00:25:09.200
Don’t ever think the government does something for you because it doesn’t it does it for themselves?
00:25:09.200 –> 00:25:16.840
That’s just the way that is if it trickles down and helps you that’s great, but it’s always done for them not for you
00:25:16.840 –> 00:25:23.000
That’s just the way it is just like I told everybody during the whole code thing when they kept saying all the stimulus money the stimulus
00:25:23.000 –> 00:25:27.560
Manta I said listen you’re in business for yourself. Don’t wait for the government to give you money
00:25:27.560 –> 00:25:32.920
Don’t wait for the government to reimburse you you got to think about yourself and I hate saying that you know
00:25:32.920 –> 00:25:33.900
I know a lot of okay
00:25:33.900 –> 00:25:40.200
I personally don’t feel it was right that the government said you’re essential you’re not I don’t think that was right
00:25:40.200 –> 00:25:41.520
Okay, I don’t think it’s right
00:25:41.520 –> 00:25:44.080
I thought it was ridiculous and terrible to be honest with you
00:25:44.280 –> 00:25:47.280
Because what so the government you tell me that I can’t he can’t do something
00:25:47.280 –> 00:25:50.000
But they can’t but but there but I have to wait for the stimulus money
00:25:50.000 –> 00:25:54.240
Who the hell is the government’s first of all to tell you who is and non-essential?
00:25:54.240 –> 00:26:00.280
and and who is the and why are we all waiting for the government to give us money to
00:26:00.280 –> 00:26:04.560
You know to bail us out. I mean that you know that that’s the way the world
00:26:04.560 –> 00:26:10.520
You know, I know that’s the way the world is right now, but especially during kovat like I had many business friends of mine
00:26:10.520 –> 00:26:13.920
I’m like, well, what’s your plan with kovat? You’re gonna try to do stuff virtually remotely
00:26:13.920 –> 00:26:18.520
What are you gonna try to do and it was like, oh, well, well, well what we’re gonna do is
00:26:18.520 –> 00:26:21.840
You know, we’re gonna wait for the kovat stimulus money to come in
00:26:21.840 –> 00:26:22.580
Well, yeah
00:26:22.580 –> 00:26:27.040
Don’t wait for the government because the government doesn’t do anything that benefits you they’re only doing this so the economy doesn’t crash
00:26:27.040 –> 00:26:29.040
It doesn’t make them look bad for an election
00:26:29.040 –> 00:26:34.120
Okay, and don’t wait you have to rely on you not the government you because it’s the only person you can rely on
00:26:34.120 –> 00:26:36.640
Okay, I mean that’s just the way it is
00:26:36.640 –> 00:26:41.440
Don’t wait for the government to come in and help you and and if they do just like everything else they do it’s big
00:26:41.440 –> 00:26:49.280
It’s bloated. It’s going to not fail, but it’s definitely not going to it’s gonna move slow or it may never happen at all
00:26:49.280 –> 00:26:54.520
I mean, that’s just the way the government is and there’s so many people during kovat saying
00:26:54.520 –> 00:26:59.440
Oh, well, we’re gonna you know, we’re gonna we’re gonna just wait for the stimulus money to come in and stuff like that
00:26:59.440 –> 00:27:01.120
And yeah
00:27:01.120 –> 00:27:05.720
Please don’t get me started on that because if you’re in business, you should know you can’t wait for
00:27:05.720 –> 00:27:10.560
You know the government to help you you got to help yourself and that’s another thing, too
00:27:10.680 –> 00:27:17.640
We have the I’m part of a business group and I and I’ve actually gotten criticized when we have young entrepreneurs that say, you know
00:27:17.640 –> 00:27:22.440
You know, what? What are the keys to success and I always tell them all the time, you know
00:27:22.440 –> 00:27:29.660
Stay, you know, if you’re gonna go to school finish school. Okay, go to school for something. You can make money at don’t do drugs
00:27:29.660 –> 00:27:35.300
Okay, go to higher education if you can or you think it’ll it’ll help you make more money
00:27:35.880 –> 00:27:41.160
Okay, I mean kids that go to college do make more than kids that don’t go to college that is a statistical fact
00:27:41.160 –> 00:27:46.500
I know statistics sometimes you can’t go buy everything in statistics, but that is a statistical fact
00:27:46.500 –> 00:27:53.840
Okay, and you know and all and you know, and then I’ve said this before and again, I have a friend of mine who she’s a
00:27:53.840 –> 00:27:56.360
She’s actually very democratic
00:27:56.360 –> 00:28:02.040
But she actually has always said to me that especially women have much harder time breaking into any field
00:28:02.320 –> 00:28:07.800
Without any kind of college degree or any kind of higher education. That’s just I don’t not saying it’s right
00:28:07.800 –> 00:28:15.000
but that’s just sometimes the way it is and you know, you know, if you’re you’re and there’s no and I personally have a really
00:28:15.000 –> 00:28:20.820
big issue with with women that earn less than men do personally because if
00:28:20.820 –> 00:28:27.920
You were doing the job just as good as I as I am and it were if we and and if you’re doing the job
00:28:28.680 –> 00:28:34.840
And some women do jobs better than men and they’re making less money. That’s ridiculous. We win this country. We we definitely
00:28:34.840 –> 00:28:37.640
have a
00:28:37.640 –> 00:28:41.360
Good equality issue when it comes to those sorts of things
00:28:41.360 –> 00:28:46.580
And and I don’t think it’s right at all if somebody’s doing a job just as good as somebody else as you get paid
00:28:46.580 –> 00:28:53.760
More than an ex person or the same. I mean, I think that’s ridiculous and I brought this up before my friend literally
00:28:53.760 –> 00:28:57.820
She she’s in he she’s in your resources. She’s she says all the time
00:28:57.820 –> 00:29:01.400
She’s told me all these stories and sometimes I can’t even believe them which tells me that you know
00:29:01.400 –> 00:29:06.640
How went to and she says, you know when she’s doing human resource work that you find out that you know
00:29:06.640 –> 00:29:12.020
What somebody who you know, this person who comes in is making you know, less than the other person
00:29:12.020 –> 00:29:17.140
They’re doing the exact same job. That’s ridiculous. It’s uncalled for and it shouldn’t be but like I said, yeah
00:29:17.140 –> 00:29:20.940
I mean, it’s a fortune to where we live in but that’s why you have to look out even with your employer
00:29:20.940 –> 00:29:24.500
You have to watch out and look out for yourself. Don’t don’t worry about your co-workers
00:29:24.500 –> 00:29:28.940
I always get annoying people in the sale time. Oh, I’m worried about my co-workers. Don’t worry about your co-workers worry about you
00:29:28.940 –> 00:29:34.640
Okay, because you do one thing you control in your work environment is you and if you do a better job
00:29:34.640 –> 00:29:41.200
Than your co-workers, you know, maybe when the last come around you might stay and they might go I mean again
00:29:41.200 –> 00:29:47.180
So worry about you don’t worry about your co-workers worry about you only you can worry about you and only you
00:29:47.180 –> 00:29:51.280
Can watch out for you. I’ve always been very very big on that
00:29:52.080 –> 00:29:56.840
Because at the end of the day, you know when you stop when you stay, you know
00:29:56.840 –> 00:29:58.840
If you get laid off or something happens at your job
00:29:58.840 –> 00:30:02.600
It doesn’t matter how much you look out for your co-workers. You think they’re gonna loan you money
00:30:02.600 –> 00:30:07.360
When you got bills to pay you think any of them are gonna say? Oh, yeah. Sure. I’ll help you
00:30:07.360 –> 00:30:10.260
I’ll give you some money. No, they’re not going to you’re gonna be on your own
00:30:10.260 –> 00:30:15.500
So, I mean, that’s why I always say when it comes to the government when it comes to your job
00:30:15.500 –> 00:30:18.340
When it comes to any of that stuff worry about you
00:30:18.340 –> 00:30:24.520
Not the next person because that next person is not going to help you out when it comes out when it comes down to it
00:30:24.520 –> 00:30:28.620
That’s just the way the world is you want to know how crappy the world is sometimes
00:30:28.620 –> 00:30:33.620
Watch when somebody passes away and they need and they need money to bury them
00:30:33.620 –> 00:30:37.840
Okay. Now a lot of times people do gofundmes and that stuff works out
00:30:37.840 –> 00:30:40.780
Okay, sometimes okay
00:30:40.780 –> 00:30:42.220
But go to anybody
00:30:42.220 –> 00:30:47.360
Most people that are good friends of yours with time to bury you if you if your family has their hands out for donations
00:30:47.440 –> 00:30:52.180
For burials very rarely to people help. Okay. I mean, that’s what I found
00:30:52.180 –> 00:30:58.820
That’s something I said sometimes gofundme and sometimes people are good and you surround yourself with the right people. Sometimes it does happen, but
00:30:58.820 –> 00:31:04.840
Most of the time I would say by the majority of time when somebody passes away out come the vultures
00:31:04.840 –> 00:31:09.440
They’ll take but they ain’t gonna give so that I mean that’s just unfortunately the way it is
00:31:09.440 –> 00:31:15.700
That’s why you need to look out for you yourself your family and that that you need to worry about your like inner circle
00:31:16.880 –> 00:31:21.240
Because let me tell you there’s many people on the outer circle that ain’t gonna get they’re not gonna help you
00:31:21.240 –> 00:31:26.600
They’re not gonna be financially. They’re not gonna help you if you got mouths to feed nothing. They’re worried about themselves
00:31:26.600 –> 00:31:29.340
They may act like oh, I worry about my co-workers
00:31:29.340 –> 00:31:33.580
You only worry about your co-worker you worry about your co-worker really? Cuz if I lose my job, you’re gonna give me money tomorrow
00:31:33.580 –> 00:31:39.360
No ain’t gonna happen. So that’s why I always say you got to look out for you
00:31:39.360 –> 00:31:42.260
I think it’s gonna be the title of this show look out for you
00:31:43.200 –> 00:31:50.180
But again, we’re talking about the the government. Let’s talk about well, let’s talk about our our
00:31:50.180 –> 00:31:52.560
former governor
00:31:52.560 –> 00:31:56.800
Tom wolf who well, I mean, I think I think he did handle kovat well
00:31:56.800 –> 00:32:00.420
But he won’t talk about lockie
00:32:00.420 –> 00:32:06.320
He locks everybody down yet. His daughter was able to get married and yet everybody what everybody else’s my weddings got canceled
00:32:06.320 –> 00:32:11.320
He his daughter’s wedding went on imagine that one and then also to everybody else we kill key haircuts
00:32:11.320 –> 00:32:15.120
But boy every time he was on TV, he looked well-groomed. So don’t get me started on that
00:32:15.120 –> 00:32:17.520
But let’s talk about our other
00:32:17.520 –> 00:32:19.520
politician here in Pennsylvania Federman
00:32:19.520 –> 00:32:24.840
He’s another one that you know, I I don’t I don’t know. I first of all, I didn’t want dr. Oz
00:32:24.840 –> 00:32:31.060
I really didn’t I don’t like him. He’s ran at three different states. He’s got no loyalty. He just wants to be in politics
00:32:31.060 –> 00:32:35.760
So he’s running in every state. He can’t I bet you’ll run again in another state this coming election watch
00:32:36.720 –> 00:32:42.340
But Federman apparently now is in a he’s been in amazement in this mental institute for a while now
00:32:42.340 –> 00:32:50.080
And depression is a horrible thing. I trust me. I know enough about depression and I’ve I’ve suffered with it myself and stuff like that
00:32:50.080 –> 00:32:53.940
It’s you know, it’s a lot of people have in this country and it’s one of those things
00:32:53.940 –> 00:32:58.020
We don’t do enough for in this country. I really do. You know, we that’s one thing
00:32:58.020 –> 00:33:01.020
I you don’t see many wars on suicide around this country. Let me tell you
00:33:01.020 –> 00:33:05.760
And but but anyway, well, like I said if other way folks I’ve said this a million times
00:33:05.840 –> 00:33:09.880
Look at any of your life insurance policies guarantee you they don’t cover suicide
00:33:09.880 –> 00:33:15.620
Okay, good. They wanted to put that in life insurance policy for years when it got approved. I said that’s never coming out
00:33:15.620 –> 00:33:17.520
so
00:33:17.520 –> 00:33:22.240
Like I said when it comes to he’s got the price out of stroke and now he’s got depression now
00:33:22.240 –> 00:33:26.740
I I do know a lot about strokes and depression. I have like I said, I’ve struggled with it myself
00:33:26.740 –> 00:33:29.360
Strokes my mom had a lot of stroke. She had depression
00:33:29.360 –> 00:33:32.440
stroke can actually
00:33:32.720 –> 00:33:37.280
Cause additional pain and depression that is very a very common problem with strokes
00:33:37.280 –> 00:33:40.500
So we had depression now he’s having the stroke
00:33:40.500 –> 00:33:45.540
You know, it’s like an addition like, you know, so he’s probably got you know, it’s kind of like a double wham
00:33:45.540 –> 00:33:49.500
he had depression and now the stroke he’s probably got you know additional now, but
00:33:49.500 –> 00:33:56.440
You know, I guess the other thing I don’t think too is I’m I’m wondering at what point I
00:33:56.440 –> 00:33:58.960
Mean now they’re saying that he’s you know
00:33:58.960 –> 00:34:04.840
His his team meets with him and once a month and he makes decisions and all that kind of stuff from the actual
00:34:04.840 –> 00:34:08.940
Depression place which I don’t really understand why that is
00:34:08.940 –> 00:34:15.820
You know any other I know maybe it’s you know, extenuating circumstances, but any anybody else goes in for depression
00:34:15.820 –> 00:34:20.400
You’re not allowed to have your your your company bring work to you and you’re allowed to do I mean, I I
00:34:20.400 –> 00:34:23.220
Don’t understand that I don’t think that’s healthy for him
00:34:23.220 –> 00:34:27.680
And I really don’t think that’s really an intelligent thing to be doing but that’s what’s happening
00:34:27.680 –> 00:34:32.140
But apparently now they’re saying his wife’s not visiting him that much. She’s been busy with her kids
00:34:32.140 –> 00:34:36.840
You know, I have a problem with that and I know a lot of people have said, you know
00:34:36.840 –> 00:34:40.600
If you know if your spouse was in there or something severe like this
00:34:40.600 –> 00:34:46.360
Would you not go and see them? Like I said some places the spouses are not allowed to come and see him. However
00:34:46.360 –> 00:34:51.940
For some reason he’s led the people that he works with are allowed to come and bring him work
00:34:51.940 –> 00:34:55.000
But his wife can’t see him. So I don’t know what necessarily by that
00:34:55.000 –> 00:34:59.060
I think maybe part of the reason why he’s depressed maybe he had this stroke
00:34:59.060 –> 00:35:03.880
You know, maybe his marriage is falling apart. That’s why he had the stroke. That’s why he had depression
00:35:03.880 –> 00:35:09.520
Maybe the depression caused a stroke who knows maybe vice versa, but I do think it’s very weird
00:35:09.520 –> 00:35:14.100
something is going something is not right and they’re definitely not telling us and you know, I
00:35:14.100 –> 00:35:21.040
I’m wondering at what point do they say that you know, do do this do the I don’t know if they’re I
00:35:21.480 –> 00:35:25.240
Was actually looking this up, but I couldn’t really find the answer on this and if anybody knows
00:35:25.240 –> 00:35:30.000
Feel free to reach out to me on the show on Twitter. Kv3 YU a
00:35:30.000 –> 00:35:32.520
or Mastodon
00:35:32.520 –> 00:35:36.640
You know, so rebel social media is our Mastodon channel where you can sign up
00:35:36.640 –> 00:35:39.160
It’s free come in hang out with us or a great group
00:35:39.160 –> 00:35:41.340
but
00:35:41.340 –> 00:35:46.620
Reach out to me because I love to know is there a point where the Senate could say he’s unfit because they were the president
00:35:46.620 –> 00:35:52.880
They can declare 26th amendment and say he’s mentally unfit to lead remember Elizabeth Warren tried that a million times
00:35:52.880 –> 00:35:55.740
We get you know
00:35:55.740 –> 00:35:58.000
No, I’m gonna get started on that. That was ridiculous
00:35:58.000 –> 00:36:04.740
but I’m wondering this is a case where he may actually not be fit to lead and would we have a
00:36:04.740 –> 00:36:10.660
Democratic runoff election anybody that voted for him because I think they I think they did this with the governor in California
00:36:10.980 –> 00:36:17.440
a bunch of years back where he wasn’t fit to lead because of a medical issue and then they had a runoff election with just
00:36:17.440 –> 00:36:19.800
The people that voted for him to vote in a new
00:36:19.800 –> 00:36:28.140
Governor I don’t know if the same thing can happen with a senator at the federal level not the state level
00:36:28.140 –> 00:36:33.080
So I’m actually kind of curious what’s gonna happen with this and where they’re gonna go with this
00:36:33.080 –> 00:36:38.080
And what they’re gonna do and and is there a point where they’re gonna say he’s unfit to lead
00:36:39.000 –> 00:36:41.280
Is he gonna come back? I don’t know
00:36:41.280 –> 00:36:46.120
I don’t think I guess I really don’t think it’s right that they’re bringing him work there and then just being from political
00:36:46.120 –> 00:36:48.140
standpoint just from a
00:36:48.140 –> 00:36:51.680
Health standpoint he’s in there to get better. He’s not in there to keep working
00:36:51.680 –> 00:36:55.280
I mean, I don’t really agree with that and I don’t understand why they’re allowing that but they are
00:36:55.280 –> 00:36:58.040
but like I said, just like
00:36:58.040 –> 00:37:04.720
You know and whatever regards whatever is falling apart whether it’s his relationship with his family whether it’s his job, whatever
00:37:04.720 –> 00:37:06.240
I don’t understand what’s allowed to bring him work
00:37:06.240 –> 00:37:12.480
but and then I don’t really understand as to when they when there’s a good time to say I know senators just like
00:37:12.480 –> 00:37:16.340
anybody else they get sick leaves of that but what is
00:37:16.340 –> 00:37:23.780
Is there a time where they’re gonna step in and say hey, he’s not able to lead. He’s not able to be the senator
00:37:23.780 –> 00:37:27.720
He’s not I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking if anybody knows how that works
00:37:27.720 –> 00:37:30.680
Reach out to me. I’d be very curious to know
00:37:31.720 –> 00:37:36.840
What that how that works? What’s the timeline on that who actually jumps in it says that?
00:37:36.840 –> 00:37:41.160
The CF to resign. I’m just curious what the whole situation is
00:37:41.160 –> 00:37:47.360
And you know how how you go about it? And what’s the what happens next? I’d be very very curious about that
00:37:47.360 –> 00:37:51.000
So if anybody knows please reach out to me and let me know connection curious
00:37:51.000 –> 00:37:55.600
I did look it up, but there’s not really much definitive answer on that. I think he has to step down
00:37:55.600 –> 00:38:01.260
I’m not sure but I’d be very curious if anybody knows if it’s happened in your state and you kind of know what’s going on
00:38:01.260 –> 00:38:05.280
I appreciate that one thing I do want to bring up guys. It was like a public service
00:38:05.280 –> 00:38:08.480
What that I haven’t talked to since I haven’t been on in a while
00:38:08.480 –> 00:38:14.780
Anybody that’s using last pass for password management. I know I’ve talked to them about them a bunch of times
00:38:14.780 –> 00:38:18.560
I’m actually kind of moving off them right now. They’ve kind of been
00:38:18.560 –> 00:38:23.980
Old and crickety as a password manager. They’ve been hacked a couple times over the last year. So
00:38:23.980 –> 00:38:27.620
Moving over to what they call bit warden. It’s it’s rated as one of the best
00:38:28.300 –> 00:38:33.400
Most secure they encrypt your passwords like a hundred thousand times
00:38:33.400 –> 00:38:36.820
It’s really safe really secured. They’re not a sponsor
00:38:36.820 –> 00:38:38.960
I’m not getting any ad dollars for any of this
00:38:38.960 –> 00:38:43.480
But I wanted to bring this up because I’ve actually said many times you should be using a password manager
00:38:43.480 –> 00:38:47.040
And I still believe that as I’m in the cyber security industry
00:38:47.040 –> 00:38:51.760
But I have like literally pulled my endorsement from last pass
00:38:51.760 –> 00:38:55.600
I may go through the old podcast and pull it out because I don’t want people using it
00:38:56.080 –> 00:38:59.860
It’s really it’s just getting to a point right now where they keep getting hacked
00:38:59.860 –> 00:39:04.560
They just they’re great coming they really were ahead of their time with what they’re doing
00:39:04.560 –> 00:39:08.920
But it’s just like anything else when it gets big and bloated and more than somebody can handle
00:39:08.920 –> 00:39:15.060
I just guess to the point where it’s just getting to the point with them that they just they can’t handle the security thing and
00:39:15.060 –> 00:39:17.260
They’re not letting me they have had
00:39:17.260 –> 00:39:22.560
Well, the other problem is – they haven’t had any independent security audits either or they they haven’t been good anyway
00:39:22.560 –> 00:39:24.780
and they keep getting exploited so I
00:39:25.420 –> 00:39:30.200
Guess I’m kind of pulling my endorsement of them. I’m using bitwarden. That’s open source
00:39:30.200 –> 00:39:34.240
You can get it for free. If you don’t want to spend money, you can get it for free
00:39:34.240 –> 00:39:38.700
They have the paid version which I use only because I like some of the paid features a little bit better
00:39:38.700 –> 00:39:40.960
But it is free it is open source
00:39:40.960 –> 00:39:44.480
And the reason why I like it it since it’s open source and since it is on hacker one
00:39:44.480 –> 00:39:47.620
They have they have their code all out there
00:39:47.620 –> 00:39:52.100
so anybody can you know see it and pretty much either fork it or can
00:39:52.660 –> 00:39:55.880
Take it and look at it and they find security vulnerabilities
00:39:55.880 –> 00:40:00.800
They can report that to them and then they they pay them and they patch those vulnerabilities
00:40:00.800 –> 00:40:04.320
Like I said, they encrypt their passwords a hundred a hundred thousand times
00:40:04.320 –> 00:40:10.480
So it’s much safer than last pass because they do encrypt it more and like I said, they do have just
00:40:10.480 –> 00:40:16.720
I personally being an open source and being a security person like the fact that there’s there unlike last pass
00:40:16.720 –> 00:40:19.520
These guys have had security audits. They publicly
00:40:19.520 –> 00:40:22.440
devolves their security
00:40:22.780 –> 00:40:28.420
There that they’ve actually had audits they publicly disclose the audits once they’ve passed all the holes to prove to you
00:40:28.420 –> 00:40:33.840
Last pass doesn’t do that. They said they’ve been ordered, but they never released the audit publicly bitwarden does
00:40:33.840 –> 00:40:39.140
which I think is really great as a password company to actually do that because
00:40:39.140 –> 00:40:44.740
It really shows the people. Hey, you know, we’re once we pass the holes. We’re not afraid to disclose everything to you
00:40:44.740 –> 00:40:47.820
So they do disclose all of those findings
00:40:48.540 –> 00:40:53.940
Like I said, they are open source. So their source code is open on github. They do have a hacker one set up
00:40:53.940 –> 00:40:54.880
so if
00:40:54.880 –> 00:40:59.780
You go if you are somebody it’s in the security industry you go there and you look through their code say oh
00:40:59.780 –> 00:41:03.380
There’s a problem here. This really needs to be fixed you submit it to them you get paid for it
00:41:03.380 –> 00:41:08.300
So it’s a bug bounty program. They’re just doing such a better job at
00:41:08.300 –> 00:41:15.180
Being more being careful with customer security than last passes. They’re more open than last passes
00:41:15.180 –> 00:41:21.740
their code is publicly accessible last pass tries to keep everything hidden, you know security through obscurity, which does not work and
00:41:21.740 –> 00:41:30.080
Bit warden it’s a lot tougher. I mean in a sense of as far as a product goes it is a little bit tougher because
00:41:30.080 –> 00:41:36.420
They do make you put your password in a lot. They do have a lot of little hurdles you have to get over but
00:41:36.420 –> 00:41:40.100
You know as far as a password manager goes
00:41:40.620 –> 00:41:46.720
It definitely is more secure why it is a pain in the butt a little bit more because some of their the things you have
00:41:46.720 –> 00:41:48.720
To do it is much more secure
00:41:48.720 –> 00:41:52.320
Now moving from last past a bit warden is not that difficult
00:41:52.320 –> 00:41:58.200
You basically have to go ahead and you can go download the Mac client or the Windows client
00:41:58.200 –> 00:42:00.920
You completely export your password library
00:42:00.920 –> 00:42:07.280
And then you just go and write over to bit warden hit import and it says import from where you say last pass
00:42:07.420 –> 00:42:14.780
And hit the import button and that’s it you delete that file off your computer and then you go in and you reset your last pass
00:42:14.780 –> 00:42:20.760
Account to default so it resets everything back to factory and then you close your account and that’s it
00:42:20.760 –> 00:42:22.800
And then all your stuff is in bit warden
00:42:22.800 –> 00:42:27.540
So I just wanted to bring that up because I know I’ve said you guys many times I use last pass I use last pass
00:42:27.540 –> 00:42:32.680
But I’ve since then stopped bit warden it does it does lack some of the features
00:42:33.560 –> 00:42:37.940
To a certain degree. I mean most of them are the same but I will say this though as
00:42:37.940 –> 00:42:44.140
as somebody who I’m willing to do things more difficulty if it’s more secure and
00:42:44.140 –> 00:42:48.540
while bit warden at times is kind of pain in the butt because there is a
00:42:48.540 –> 00:42:56.380
Lot more that has to go into it because of just the way they do it and there is sometimes little hurdles to get over
00:42:56.380 –> 00:42:58.840
It definitely is
00:42:59.080 –> 00:43:03.600
Much more secure and like a lot of like couple people like I know my wife was messing with the other day and she’s like
00:43:03.600 –> 00:43:06.140
Why not some more has been it’s so many freaking times
00:43:06.140 –> 00:43:08.800
I don’t like because they’re securing your you know
00:43:08.800 –> 00:43:13.680
There’s the way they secure it if you don’t you have to log in so often so if you walk away from your computer
00:43:13.680 –> 00:43:18.300
It locks it so not your computer but locks the password vault. So nobody can just walk up and steal your passwords
00:43:18.300 –> 00:43:23.380
You want to do autofill you have to click on it doesn’t want to forget to click it and it says you sure yes
00:43:23.380 –> 00:43:27.260
So you don’t want to fill a password or you don’t want to I mean, they’re not not big things
00:43:27.260 –> 00:43:30.260
But little things enough that should be that way so it’s more secure
00:43:30.260 –> 00:43:34.660
So I just wanted to let everybody know that that’s listening that if you are somebody
00:43:34.660 –> 00:43:39.860
Who has listened to my endorsements and has said oh I want to use last pass. That’s what I use
00:43:39.860 –> 00:43:44.580
I am using bit warden now. I would recommend you get off last pass and go to bit warden
00:43:44.580 –> 00:43:50.080
If you are gonna stay on last pass, I would say definitely reset your master password
00:43:50.080 –> 00:43:53.140
and I would suggest resetting some of the other passwords that you use and
00:43:53.980 –> 00:43:57.820
If you’re gonna stay on it, like I said use it at your own risk. I’m not really happy with them
00:43:57.820 –> 00:44:03.660
The way they’re handling things the way they were spawning things the way they’re keeping everything hush-hush. I’m just not happy
00:44:03.660 –> 00:44:06.100
so I just wanna let you guys know that I haven’t been on the air in a while, but
00:44:06.100 –> 00:44:13.220
You know, I did want to just tell you guys that first first thing but a couple things in so this way you could you know
00:44:13.220 –> 00:44:17.260
If you want to get off it and you have any questions, like I said reach out to me
00:44:17.260 –> 00:44:20.820
You know on Twitter or on my Mastodon instance
00:44:21.460 –> 00:44:25.300
And I can go ahead and answer any questions you have any security question anything you have
00:44:25.300 –> 00:44:30.720
Please feel free to tell me I want to help you guys stay safe and secure as possible and I do what I can
00:44:30.720 –> 00:44:36.540
I know we’re not a security podcast and I don’t really plan on doing a security podcast because I like doing the podcast I do
00:44:36.540 –> 00:44:36.940
now
00:44:36.940 –> 00:44:42.300
But I try to sneak this stuff in there when I can it’s important and just try to kind of give you guys a public
00:44:42.300 –> 00:44:44.420
Service of what’s going on? So I am gonna wrap it up
00:44:44.420 –> 00:44:50.380
I want to thank everybody for listening and we will see you on the next episode. Thank you very much
