    Well, I just got educated. I had no idea.

    This addresses the America First attitude and how it gets in the way of being first, and helps lead to us falling behind economically. Focus on infrastructure.

    "In the treaty it says that the treaty cannot regulate stuff within a country."

    The treaty was never ratified in the first place.

    Beau addresses the effects on capitalism of the Trump Administration. He begins with a description of the right-leaning nature of America, and how difficult it has been to even discuss issues which are actual leftist or socialist issues.

    Donald Trump broke the unspoken rule. And now folks are discussing actual socialist issues. Peoples' ideas about the wealthy and capitalism are changing. A majority of young Republicans now want to decrease the wealth gap.

    This is new.

    Who is that 'masked man'?

    Deep Goat addresses Tucker Carlson's allegation that the NSA was spying on him. That idea already seemed laughable to me. After Deep Goat's deep cover analysis I now understand the details of why it is indeed very laughable.

    Deep Goat covers the various possibilities in this slightly longer than usual video.


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx_5Z8UN1fA


    Deep Goat finishes,

    "Now, I could see Tucker Carlson being investigated by several agencies. But the NSA is one of the few that just doesn't really add up, to be honest. Unless, of course, he's in contact with a hostile intelligence service. An agent that is trying to influence his coverage. He may not even know that that's occurring."

    I was just thinking yesterday about whether it would be possible to have a kind of communal use refrigerator for folks who don't have enough food. This is already a thing. Beau says they've been around for 20 years. I don't think I've ever seen one. This was a weirdly unexpected synchronicity for me.

    The brush fire story is really good. One person gets something started. That's what matters.

    This one is about dangerous rhetoric and a direct warning.

    "I will be honest. If I was tasked with disrupting or degrading a major military's combat effectiveness, I'd be bribing politicians to introduce this kind of legislation. Because that's the only thing it does."

    It's about military readiness.

    Representative Massie has introduced a bill to prohibit the DOD from requiring it's personnel to get the vaccine for Covid-19.

    Beau notes that if such a bill were to pass, the military would ignore it.

    Beau talks about the obvious and present fact of the grift by those inciting civil war. They will remain safe in their studios while they get rich off the conflict they incite.

    "This needs to stop."

    Beau got a message from someone assuming they'd both be happy to face each other in a civil war.

    "What would make me happy is to stay where I am, take a dip in a pond, play with my horse, and be known as the guy who keeps planting too many pumpkins."

    "This needs to stop."

    Foreign policy isn't chess. It's more like poker. And everybody is cheating.

    Egberto doesn't allow folks to get him on the emotional train. He has a long conversation wherein, after the caller rants a bit, they have a dialogue. Egberto states plainly that it's the system that's a problem and that he and the caller are really on the same team.
