0:00 we don't have power plants that are nuclear yeah because people are like oh I'm afraid nuclear right so all of it is outdated old schooling coal it's coal it's it's it's it's gas anyways it's creating all this it's like what are you thinking [Music] about hey do you want to hate California even more I don't think that's possible but sure i' like to see you try so uh California is trying to mandate something called speed limiters in the cars uh by 2032 they want every car on the road to uh when you go over the speed limit to make a beeping noise so that you know you're going over the speed limit oh God cuz American cars already have a governor yeah like if you buy like a Camaro or whatever or

0:50 Silverado like it just stop at 80 you'll keep gassing it and even though you see that it can go to 140 it just like stops wait why it just on purpose so I don't know the real reason why but they have it and then so I had to get the governor removed on the truck that was my followup question did you hear about the gas I mean the miles tax what California's trying to tax like it was like 13 cents a mile or something for the amount you drive for yeah individually depending on what and you know what the stupid ass reason why is so they were you know how uh California was a huge proponent of electric cars they're like by 2030 or whatever ever uh no gas car will be sold you're so stupid so they're like okay cool a for whatever ████ initiative they're trying to push there then they started calculating

1:41 oh wait the reason what's going to happen to all the gas tax cuz they have tax that they put into that's why California gas is so expensive but these those taxes pay for a bunch of other yeah yeah yeah they're like wait so by 2030 that means we're not going to have this gas tax funding is going to take like it's going to take a hit so what are we going to do oh I know we do that hit both cars equally mileage so that's the reason why they're trying to propose this thing I heard they're going to do that in Vegas too that's what I heard no I heard is going to be 15 cents I heard is going to be half a mile eight bucks a mile in Summerland only yeah yeah you're ████ that's one of the things that they're they're they're doing all kinds of different stuff like that and uh oh have you ever heard the thing about how the electric car thing is never even going to work here because of the uh infrastructure itself doesn't allow for anybody who's not a homeowner

2:32 it's going to be hard for them to charge it so then if you're making everybody have like some people don't even have garages some people have only street parking where they live like if they live in K Town or something it's like there's no way that it's going to be all electric until you have the infrastructure that's only because uh the tech hasn't been developed yet because what they're working on for example is the just like the the charging pads that like are just built in the roads so you can just hover your car on top of a street needs to plug in so they're already working on that like Tesla's working on that for their Robo taxis because it's not meant to just like every Robo taxi has to go back to a spot and plug in instead all of them are going to be able to like get to a place where once it gets on top of a a Green Street or whatever it's already charging so it's charging while you're driving on the street mhm or or if you're parking in an area like that area maybe has like

3:23 a built-in like what do you think that infrastructure will be in place by the time cuz they said 2030 or something yeah but even with 20 30 like once all the ████ that's very like huge cars like General Motors Ford all of them once they realize after putting billions into trying to like turn EV it wasn't effective they started going oh well everybody only wants hybrids so they started campaigning and lobbying to push back the 2030 thing that they had already all agreed to and now they're they're trying to completely cancel it in general because they're just like no we have to have like the combination hybrid cars in actually hybrid is is the most eco-friendly because um they there was a graph of lithium batteries right and then the amount of waste it takes to produce one EV car it's ridiculous it's like you could produce like 30 40 like hybrid cars with this with one um another thing is I I don't

4:14 even know why no one's talking about how electricity is produced we don't have power plants that are nuclear yeah because people are like oh I'm afraid of ████ nuclear right so all of it is outdated old school ████ coal it's coal it's ████ it's it's it's gas anyways it's creating all this it's like what are you ████ thinking about like yeah gas is still more efficient I think yeah I think hybrid is the best dare you I think hybrid is number one but the problem with gas and oil is it puts us into a different International and potential like dependency yeah which which obviously is why half the world ████ hates us already you know what I mean so doesn't doesn't that dependency happen because we refuse to to drill domestically so we have enough reserves in the States but we're using everyone

5:07 else's because militarily it's a Str it's a it's a strategy of like oh it's like you use up and buy all the other reserves if ████ hits the fan we're self sustainable oh that's I never thought of that we can last hundreds of years so so that's that's one of the things is like why drill when you can still buy from overse sees and then yeah so there's like layers of protection I think that they think about it's not just consumerism but it's also like how do you become a strong nation that doesn't have to be dependent if ████ hits the fan that's the super macro view so I was just like in Korea and we're just talking and because we saw some news about like America and guns and stuff and then like people were saying like oh isn't that crazy like that's why

5:57 Americans I mean people look at Americans as crazy cuz they like they like guns and they have all these things and I was like if you zoom out like really really zoom out the reason why a person in Korea could even have the opinion that America is crazy about guns is because of America if if it had it not be for America South Korea would still be a third world country being butt ████ by Japan Dam you know what I mean it's like because we have bases all over the world we control the ████ world that we owed everyone to become a first world country to even have a so it's kind of like the it's like the lesser of the two evils type thing it's like because we tap into the world's reserve of oil and We Are the World Police and all of our and then you have to consider who are the benefactors of

6:48 us being the World Police that's why there's war mongers and stuff where people are that are for war cuz it doesn't it sounds ridiculous like when you hear it firsthand it's like why would you want to like kill people and go to war for but then when like you said you zoom out you look at the history and like everything it's like oh yeah it makes sense why there's war because if and one if you don't have War then you're not going to have like progress you're not going to have like all this other ████ that comes with it but it in the end yes it does bring like econ like economic like you know destabilization and it really ████ the people up mentally because it's like you're killing people and everybody's just like arguing all the time about it and but there's like both sides to it too yeah it's like you need some type of stability and in order to do that you kind of got to have the biggest guns and

7:38 nuclear weapons yeah MH that's the unfortunate you got to bomb you got to bomb some fools unfort us because if you don't have that then there's someone else with nuclear weapons and guns that will take over and they might not be as nice they might not who knows you you just don't know no I think they would be nice cuz the cool thing is you're f a country it's almost as if when you get invaded by America you're like oh cool cuz you you know your your wife's not going to get raped they're not going to ████ your kids you know like if you imagine you get invaded by ISIS you're like ████ they're going to Slit everyone's throat in my entire family it's almost as if like what if America invad and this is the sad part to say if America does invade your country you're probably going to get aced in the next two or three generations your wife is going to be left probably untouched no one's

8:28 going to get ████ butt ████ be able to drive yeah it it's it out of all the World Police America's still kind of tight yeah like if if other countries were World Police they would probably be doing the best well I mean Japan and Korea is a great example right they they came in they ████ buff ████ Japan like a ████ but what did they do after that they rebuilt it they invested into Japan Eisenhower at the time he had a new deal program that he was going to um execute in the US but this whole new system they they they tested it out in Japan yeah and then so Japan got the benefits and same with ger Germany those two countries got the benefits of kind of like America 2.0 that they wanted to test out here but they didn't get a

9:19 chance to do it so when you see those a couple Bloodlines as all so you're saying you're pro pro atomic bomb but when you saw well Germany didn't have to do the atomic bomb but if you if you can see how they basically they won America won right but they went in and they rebuilt it Germany was like Top Dog of Europe Japan at the time before China you know blew up as in like blew up economically they they um good save they they're crushing it and those are two War torn countries that were absolutely destroyed after World War II but America invested into it they rebuilt it they taught them how to like be self-governing built yeah they built up so I was like that's not a bad way of being colonized it sounds weird to say it but makes sense though you do have to look

10:10 at that same with the Philippines you remember when in World War II Japan came and destroyed the Philippines and whatever when America it used to be an American colony but when mathur came in the Filipinos were like yes come on back we hate these Jacks yeah come invade please right yeah cuz it's like now they understood what it was like okay when they're an American colony it wasn't that cool but when they're a Japanese Colony it was worse it was way worse it's like no one wants a stepdad but if your stepdad's white it's kind of tight there's some perks there's perks yeah you know what's crazy though in terms of country scale uh have you seen those things about California has if it were to become a country it would have a bigger GDP than India yeah it's like top 10 think it's yeah top five India though that many ████ people India and

11:01 California California GDP is they don't they don't sell green juices India don't sell sick ████ though ████ these bad boys we make six ████ we s alab Vera out here and entertainment yeah wouldn't it be it would be like number nine or something or six I mean that's the reason why California has all these crazy tax things right cuz in like um so it act the the issue started like 50 years ago because you know like when um people were talking about California dreaming and all that right the whole like people coming to California that happened like after the war so before and then also people didn't live in beach towns it was actually like very affordable cuz no one wanted to a beach on like beach house or whatever but then hella people from other states were like yo it's always sunny here there's no

11:51 rain whatever cuz most people lived on the east coast and then when they started moving over here California incentivized major uh uh manufacturing Productions all that right so good year came all the car manufacturers came everybody came in and then they did it with tax breaks and all that stuff but then they couldn't sustain like the population with the corporate tax not happening and all that stuff and then they start giving these sweet ass retirement deals for uh government employees where whatever you maxed out at that's what you retire with so let's say you're a fireman and you maxed out with 400k a year then you know how many little cities we have in California that's every single one of those every single government employee every year uh when you retire and they retire in their 50s until they die for the next 20 30

12:42 years you get 400k damn that's nuts that's taxpayer money right and then all the corporations were like ████ this now you want to cash now you want to tax us we're out and they start leaving and then California has this too big to fail mentality where they're like I'm making so much ████ money off of this taxes there's so much people that's constantly moving in like I can't fail and then the government gets like to egotistical of we could do whatever we want we can tax you we can do this and then people are going to still want to do business here but then now they're struggling damn what a sad note to end on huh [Music]
