0:05 All right, welcome back everybody to another electric episode of the camera boys. Where have you guys been hearing about all this Tesla stuff? Oh, my god. Oh, my god. They're vandalizing Teslas, right? I saw a guy ramming cars, ramming Teslas in like like a like a quad bike or something. have any experiences, Anthony? And he drove it. He he kept driving into random Teslas. There's one girl I went to high school with. She was posting on her story about how somebody put a photocopy of Elon Musk as Hitler and him like zig heiling like the Tesla logo or something and they put it on her her car and was like, "You should be ashamed of yourself for buying this car." Well, all that kind of stuff. So, people are just randomly just in their Teslas are just getting like random hate notes. Yeah, but those are like the same people who are like, "Buy Tesla. Save the world." Like and then they flip

0:56 their notion. That's so ████ No, he was a Nazi. ████ ridiculous. Because they're just hurting other innocent people. It doesn't even affect Elon one bit. Like if you hate Elon so much, doesn't That's so ████ It affects the stock price, but then even then it's more it's more so definitely affecting just the regular people then. Yeah. Yeah. But remember, if it's not that argument, they're going to move on to another argument. And that's what happens. That's what happens. First of all, he environmental issue. Now now it's Hitler. Cuz it's like imagine having having like a issue with McDonald's and then you go see a kid eating a happy meal and you kick it out of their hands. Yeah. You should be ashamed of yourself. You get the I was hungry. And they're like, "Take that, McDonald's." And they're like, "What the f███?" Like say for this girl that that got this note, right? She might be like

1:46 I'm assuming from my understanding of her like she's pretty liberal leaning, right? So, she gets a note like that and she's pretty liberal like do you feel like the chances of her being like, "You know what? These liberals are ████ crazy." Like what do you think goes through her head as someone who's a liberal who gets a note like that after all this happens in the news? I'm sure you're you're pretty like bewildered by like, "Dude, what is wrong with people right now?" Didn't they say they would just eat their own? Yeah, kind That's what it's That's what it's doing. Slowly people will see. But you know what's crazy? Just yesterday I had to take the security measuring test for like all these freaking extra classes I had to take armed and and school shooting and then what to do in protesting and I guess back in the '90s, they're they're doing the same exact thing but on Hummers. So, they were just wrecking Hummers. Cuz they were gas guzzlers? Gas Well,

2:36 no. It was just like for the environmental and they're saying, "F███ the rich people." This is not This is nothing new. Oh, it's Which is insane because the history literally repeats itself. It's a big thing cuz I was taking that test on what to do with rioters and protesters and and there's a video that popped up about what to do in situations and it was like they went back on the documentary of Hummers doing getting attacked, burned, and ruined and saying and then there's a protest they're interviewing protesters saying, "F███ the rich people." But this is not environmental to save like the same exact thing is happening. Which was crazy. It's just like same thing, you know what I mean? People say, "What's wrong with protesting?" It's not even about protesting. It's about what comes out of the protesting, what people do to take advantage of protest. Peaceful protest and then there's going to be 100 people saying, "Let's use this protest, peaceful protest,

3:27 as our way of getting back, of our way of creating damages." Now, the peaceful protesters don't look like peaceful protesters. They look like straight up ████ You know what I mean? Like it's it's just people taking advantage of people and this is nothing new. Cybertrucks do feel like the new Hummers though. Yeah. You know, like everybody Douchebag one. Like anytime I get an Uber and somebody comments on something like randomly trying to make small talk, I'm always like, "Huh, I wonder what brings that up." Anytime I'm in Uber, people always like, "What do you think about the Cybertruck?" What Like every single time people always want to talk about Cybertrucks. And then if as soon as you tell them your point, they're always like, "Ah, I ████ hate them. They're the worst on the road." Well, you know, they have like their whole spiel. And you're like, "Damn, this is like the new turning of like it is the new Hummer. People don't like it." upset cuz doesn't bug me one bit. Same. It doesn't affect my life whatsoever. at

4:18 all. You like that truck? Go drive around. I don't care. That's crazy. Yeah, I think the type of people that would like go out there and actually do something about it, like their life suck. That's why they're like at a breaking point. It has to be. Like think about it like Yeah, like who has time to be like, "Oh, you know what? I'm going to skip dinner tonight and go ████ that car up cuz I hate Elon Musk." Yeah, it's like it's like, "Dude, like it's it's affecting you that bad to the point where you have to make a whole thing out of it?" Cuz like that means they're not eating dinner with their family. They don't even That means they're not watching their favorite show. That means they're not They're not doing ████ They're not even drinking with their friends. Like they're just like, "Man, I'mma go ████ some cars up cuz ████ Elon Musk. He's ruining my life." A lot of it is like they're already in a parking lot somewhere and then they see a Tesla.

5:10 So, then they're like, "Oh, this is my opportunity. Key it." But like Teslas ironically have cameras all over the They have the most cameras. So, they're just capturing these ████ idiots spitting on them. And people are getting like, you know, prosecuted for it too when there's enough like, you know, camera evidence and stuff. So, it's it's just ironic because they're just that's not Elon's car. That's his personal car. Do you feel like there's a target on your back when you're driving around in that Tesla nowadays? I think it's I only I don't give that much care to be completely honest. I care when like Nina wants to drive my car. Because then I'm like that would suck for her to just be in a stressful situation. Did you do the underground Vegas Tesla only thingy? That's only Those are basically still just taxis. You don't take your personal Teslas underground in

6:00 those tunnels. That's like a fleet of Teslas for that underground service and they have like drivers and stuff for it. So, you have to be like a Tesla member? Uh no, you could It's like a Uber but for the underground service. Imagine like you're taking a metro. Yeah. Yeah, those Teslas belong to that tunnel. I didn't know that. That's cool. It's crazy that like conservatives are like they're like the gun group but then liberals are the violent group. You know what? Like what they are worried about, "You guys and your gun are going to ████ shoot up whatever." But like you guys are the ones burning cars though. Like actually going out and committing violence. And burning EV cars is wild. Cuz it explodes? Yeah, cuz they they burn they they the way that they burn is different. Cuz the battery. Like the the fires are hotter. Like firefighters have way more difficult time of like putting them out. Didn't someone blow up a Tesla in front

6:50 of the Trump Tower? Oh, yeah. That was like a That was with like fireworks and ████ too. But that was like a special That was He was a special ops guy, right? It was a green beret in there but then that No one's talking about it again, you know what I'm saying? It's just it's just Hush, hush. We'll we'll figure it out. But wasn't there some weird ████ about like how people were saying like he was already dead in the car. Yeah, he They're saying he domed himself in the car. With a 50 Yeah, with a in the car. With a eagle. For real? With a 50 cal eagle. Boom! And then pow. But like I guess some people were saying like That's crazy. he's been dead for a long time. So, they made it seem like That was one of the conversations. And that was like a rental Tesla, right? From like Turo or some ████ And he said he I think he had like a manifesto thing he put out and then he did that on purpose cuz he wanted to be trackable. So, he

7:41 wanted to show where he got it and where you can see where he's going and why he's going there or some ████ like that. Cuz I think he was already saying uh something about I think he thought he was already going to get assassinated for something. Oof. So, he's like, "I need to be visible." That's why he got such a ████ outrageous looking car. It could have been PTSD. Who knows? It could be too. Yeah, it could all be in his head. Yeah, it's all in his head. But isn't it kind of weird when I did watch that yesterday of the Hummers getting antagonized and, you know, burned up and ████ like literally history will literally Yeah, it's the same ████ Nothing happens and nothing will work. It's going to be the same thing over. It's so crazy to even see to watch that video cuz I was just like, "What the ████ dude?" That's happening right now. Yeah. It was so weird that I had to take that test yesterday. You know what's even crazier is like So, you know like

8:31 the protests and stuff started happening in the '60s and stuff like the civil rights movement, right? Um the CIA created a program of infiltrating all these different like groups. Like Black Panthers and, you know, everybody that's trying to But then they also like created their own movements. And I thought that was pretty nuts. Like they even had um they they made this connection where a lot of like the artists, like the pop culture people, their fathers were like high-level military and all that. They're like, "Why is this it's a weird coincidence." Like the Doors singer. Jim Morrison. His dad was like some high ████ level guy. Yeah. And then so all these like people that are pushing the drugs and

9:22 doing all these like different things and and and you know, the hippie movement and all that stuff. They're like saying how like a lot of that was also experimenting how much they can like move the culture cuz that was a threat to the government when people started going out assembling together, protesting. So, they could have made the protests illegit- illegitimate through like infiltrating it. I've seen people talk about that now. There's that James Lai guy, James Lee, James Lai. He's the one that breaks down all these like really interesting Oh, yeah. I like that guy. He's always at break points so they'll call him in and he was taking a look at all these like right wing mostly. I guess nowadays they're just social media journalists and how a lot of them all their their their parents are very high ranking government

10:13 officials and you're like oh is it like you said is this a play to kind of sway the public on how to think this way or the other way. guys see the thing where it's like or heard of it where it's like they said the CIA made NWA? Really? But it's part of the whole culture pushing thing. Like they'll create things and create movements because like the whole point of the CIA is they their goal is to make like this metaphorical gun shoot and you never know who pulled the trigger. Yeah. But they achieved their goal. Yeah. But that's why when when everybody was tripping out on the dodge stuff like the first cases were like this is what the government spending money on transgender books in Ireland or transgender comic books and you see all these different atomized list of like what are they trying to set up over here? Why are they spending so much money to like you said change and push cultural cultural narratives in

11:03 different countries you're like this is kind of interesting. I've never really heard of this before but now you think about it you're like oh yeah that kind of makes sense. It makes a lot of sense cuz like let's say They probably try to cause a cultural uprising from within cuz that's how things change right within governments. Yeah. Cuz they're doing that to us. Like did you guys watch the social wait was it social dilemma? The one about the Facebook during No no not that one but it was when they were talking about how Russian troll farms were on Facebook. And then they created a Facebook group of like ultra right wingers and then they made a Facebook group of like extreme Islamists. And then they Oh they were investigating and catch them in No what they did is they created these groups started recruiting members and their goal was to

11:55 have a protest on the same day together. And what To create a giant fight or something. Yeah so the Russian troll farm was trying to get these two groups to come together in conflict. And then they're just saying how like crazy they're they're manipulating American culture through ████ like that. I think it's working. Yeah I remember watching something like that where like the goal is if through online if they create an actual physical conflict then America's resources are now trying to diffuse this and then now Russia can do whatever their real agenda is. But they they're all playing like crazy levels of chess. It's crazy man like all the cultural like so you don't even know like how much of the right wing or the left wing stuff is actually an authentic idea from Americans.

12:45 Yeah. Cuz remember Matt our buddy Matt Kemp? Yeah Matt Kemp was saying he got approached by when the whole Palestine Israel thing was happening they were doing brand deals like literal cult like like to talk a certain way. And when he was like nah I'm not going to be sponsored by either side he started seeing at that moment different influencers talking and taking sides. And he goes some of it might just be authentic cuz they believe in you know one side or the other but he was like that was really odd because then they're probably just being bought. You never know. You really don't know nowadays. the presidential you know election you could totally see who was all bought.

13:36 It's like you said right? We we 100% know who bought everyone. Well there was all those reports I remember when Kamala was running they were talking about how they spent all this money on like on Oprah. Yeah yeah all these different celebrities. Yeah. I was like what the ████ is this? What the ████ is this? And then you look on the Trump side and then you see all those people that are there in the inauguration like guys from Big Tech you see all these like right wing social media guys now like he got bought dude. If Hulk Hogan's ripping his shirt off and he's saying what's what's Hulkamania going to do when America runs great on you or whatever the ████ he said you're like dude what is this? This is crazy. Yeah this It's like peak American culture right here right in front of us. I think this style of concept came from COVID COVID times. Cuz when it was COVID time that's when everybody was vocal. Yeah. That's when social media was became such a thing now because everyone

14:27 can sit down and have so much time everyone's a doctor all of a sudden. Everyone's a ████ nurse. Everyone's arguing in comments. Everyone knows what the ████ they're they're talking about. of them are also bots. So people be fighting with bots trolls like it's so funny. Do you guys remember the movie V for Vendetta? Yes yes that's such a good movie. It's one of the best movies still. But it's like it's got like that social and political bipolar essence you know when like a regime is like too much in power there's tyranny and then all you need is enough social change where a moment happens like a mistake is made. It's not even like like you know like the bots I can't you know these Russian farm bots making like two extreme sides like protest each other. The protest is is like the event but all they need is like when like that one kid accidentally gets

15:19 shot because that's when the uprising truly starts cuz everybody will jump on something like that. Like the argument will always be there. Yeah but something insanely terrible has to happen and then everything will change. kind of like the whole George Floyd thing right? Like that was a catalyst for a lot of that whole city they probably thought it was a very small contained story but because of the climate with BLM COVID all that stuff it became like ████ nationwide yeah nationwide news and then now people like like like from my cop friends that are in LA that the thing that they have the biggest gripe about is they're like for the last two decades we've been trying to repair our relationship with the hood both like Hispanic and black hoods and we have a way better rapport but all it takes is an event like that that's on the other side of the country to kind of like rip a band-aid and then you go

16:09 backwards like another 10 years and now you think that is happening everywhere when that was such a unique incident and that's all it took for people to ████ burn down REI's and ████ Burton snowboards and this was crazy. It's all the camping come THEY ████ HATE BIG 5. Yeah all the ████ sporting companies get burnt down now. All Bart's favorite stores. You know like when when during the whole was it Seattle or Portland but there were there was a guy that was going around and then they're like why are these bricks just left by corners? Did you see it was just like a pallet of bricks and then so he was just recording it and he's like what what's going on cuz they knew that they're planning a protest there. So like someone dropped it off so they can

16:59 use those bricks to like throw at it and then it becomes this crazy it's not a peaceful protest anymore. And then there were like agitators where like people were just marching peacefully and then they just had like guys that were all ski masked out and doing vandalism and then you saw the protesters like stopping their ass some of them were trying to like beat their ass and I was like dude that's crazy cuz like what if to make it like illegitimate they plant people there to ████ it all up. Dude and then on the flip side of that what's another ripple effect? Then I knew guys that were like there's guys fighting over there we got to go there and stop those guys. So then another group of knuckleheads trying to go down there and go fight and then it becomes this never ending cycle of of people that are trying to fight each other and you're like what are you fighting for now? Like I knew guys who were hunting guys

17:50 that would go to these protests and it's like bro what is this? I'm not a fighter I'm a fight stopper. Yeah yeah and then He's a peacemaker. But then they're out here like kicking people in the head and like fighting people and you're like bro what is this? Psychological warfare. It's so crazy how this all happens. Hey that's why I said stop giving a ████ live your life pay your bill open a business have fun hang out stop worrying about nothing.
