[0:00:10] Dave @DCBK2LA: Mic check. Mic check. One two one two. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, it will be am good for president. We will get there. But first, please enjoy this music from your local all things crypto. Here we go. And I have no cohosts and no people in the space, but here we go.
[0:03:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: Guys, HR had a little bit of a mix up today. We accidentally approved some paid time off for our cohosts. So Nat Nat's out. Monica's out. I think Cool might be out, but we're gonna essentially campaign for AMG today. This is why AMG is the the guest cohost for today. Because if you guys saw on the Quack stream this afternoon, while changing... AMG is up against, apparently, a formidable force in the in the Quack stream poll, which I'm going to post to the top. Alright. But Cool is here. Nice. Nice. Nice. Alright. So Cool is gonna be our second cohost for the day. AMG, you tell Nat Nat about this. I'll kill you. Just FYI. Just so happens that she's here. But, AMG, this is your chance to campaign to the ATC crew. What's good, bro?
[0:04:36] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: I'm chilling, bro. I'm just... I'm in a good mood. I'm I'm excited. Right? And, please, guys, if you if you if you if you wanna help out, feel free. Just vote for AMG for Quacket, and that's it. Right? I'm not gonna say too much. Go ahead, Dave.
[0:04:52] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. I'm gonna pin this poll to the top. I will say what needs to be said. I need all you MFers, like, right now to go to the pinned post and vote for AMG. We need, like, at this point, like, 12 to 15 votes. So everybody in here... I know you haven't voted on this poll yet because I know you're all a bunch of lazy MFers. So I need you to go and do it now, please. Alright? So this is everybody. Everybody. Rose, I see you. I need you to vote for your boy up top. Bitbull, I need you to do it. MA, Pandeyra, like, let's go. BKG, I'm gonna... I'm duck calling everybody. Avi, probably voted already. Milo Sanemi, poll at the top. We need y'all to go vote for AMG so he can win. Granted, I know I represent Wallchain, but in ATC, I am completely impartial. Or maybe I'm just biased at this point. Like, it doesn't really matter at this point. It is what it is. But Landy, cool. I need y'all to vote up top as well. Trench, I see you down there too. Waldy, please, let's vote for your VV brother in AMG up here. And, yeah, Falco five, let's go. I need you two as well. Yeah, man. Let's go. I appreciate I appreciate everybody's support out here, and I am tracking this. So if you do not vote, I will find you, and I will do... You know? You you don't you don't want that. You wanna come back to ATC. You know what I'm saying? You want to come back to ATC. So, Pandora's gonna come up and probably ask some ridiculous questions, but we'll come to him in a second. But, yeah, man. I literally am... I have not seen any crypto news for the day. I'm literally just getting back. I've only been back for, like, an hour. I had my, my session today with the kids in in in high school... In the high school, that I told you guys that GenSpark was sponsoring. And, guys, let me tell you, the future is fucking bright. That's not here. I get to curse because it... That deserves the emphasis. Like, these kids, when I tell you, inspired the hell out of me today. I didn't have to... Like, I was so freaked out. Like, how am I gonna get these kids to talk? They're gonna be like, I'm gonna have to call on this one, and this... What if they're not engaged? These kids drove the entire conversation. This is high school 16 year olds that were telling me, how do I get leads for my dad's, you know, home warranty business? How do I get leads for my friend's cash advance business? How do I build a website for my dad's wholesale soap business? Right? And I literally put Genspark in front of them, and it was the most... Some kid was even telling me. He's like, oh, I've used Gemini before. I'm certified in Gemini. I was like, what in the world? Like, the the teacher that's doing this now is obviously not listening to these kids, but, like, it was absolutely incredible, and I couldn't be more positive. Yes. My nephew's in the class, and I hope he's after... I'm gonna send this to him and his mom because he was the one that was least participating. It was all the other kids. I was expecting Nate to be, like, the leader. Right? He was sitting there playing with his little ADHD toy fit... His little fidget spinner just listening. And, like, I... Guys, I can't say enough that, like, if these are 16 year olds doing this and I was literally giving them the playbook of, like, everyone walking around on the street, literally is clueless. And the... And what I'm hearing from you guys today, and I think you guys can grill me on my experience. I'm no... By no means an expert, but I do this on a daily basis with a lot of people and some pretty damn smart minds in the AI world. I was like, you guys are way ahead of the curve. And they were shocked. Shocked. They had no idea what to make of it, and it was just really, really impressive. And it was feel good. Right? It was really, like, feel good moment for me specifically, but, I mean, I love that GenSpark sponsor... Is sponsoring the thing. Like, the high school's gonna put out an Instagram post about it. I'm gonna put out a tweet about it. And, obviously, shout out to the Genspark team for for for sponsoring it. But, guys, the future is freaking bright. I'm telling you, man. Like, this gave me so much hope. I literally came back so motivated to just now. Like, even though I'm not getting paid, like, I didn't get paid for it because they couldn't find the budget for it. It is what it is. But, like, I wanna go volunteer my time. I told them I'd come back at least once a week just to talk to these kids and make sure that they're kinda... You know, they're executing on on the stuff that they really wanna do and how they can implement AI to be able to do it. So, yeah, that's my... I'm gonna get off my soapbox for a minute and say what's up to the to the crew. But it it was really just real... Like, you guys could probably hear it in my voice. I'm I'm I'm over the moon about it. It was phenomenal. But... Yeah. Cool. What's good, my brother? How are you?
[0:09:43] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. Good. I'm good. Good, bro. Yeah. It's it's interesting. You you talk... You talked about AI stuff. I saw Vito today, very, like, kind of mind mind bending. He was the the guy... Or or Chamath. Right?
[0:09:57] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: The guy Yeah.
[0:09:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Chamath. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:09:59] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. They were talking to the founder of NVIDIA, and they were discussing the the tensor, Tile, madness. Absolutely crazy. That couldn't believe that. You... What's crazy? I thought it was AI. Yeah. It was real. They talk... I mean, it is about AI, but they were talking about talking about a decentralized decentralized AI systems and how, you know, they play a role in the future. I'm like, this is insane. But... Yes. So I don't know, man. I I I told him if I need I need... I've been buying Tau. Yes. But, yeah, I need to, you know, learn about the the subnets because I I think that's where the the the the real money is. But... Yeah. So... Yeah. To be interesting, it's... Yeah. I'm just... I mean, hey, guys. I I I retweeted the the poll, and I voted for I'm good. So he's on my page right now, so definitely retweeted it. So if you could could vote for me, bro. Sure.
[0:10:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Appreciate it. Cool. And, yeah, cool. I was literally in a high school today with 16 year olds, bro. Like... And they were telling me... And I was like, yeah. I I put them on to, like... They... They're like, oh, yeah. We've heard of Open Claw. Right? Like, these are 16 year olds, bro. 16 year olds. So if these kids are doing this now, bro, I was so impressed. So I love that you're hearing about BitTensor. These are gonna be gonna be like the world's kinda colliding, which I absolutely love. I'm gonna weave in crypto at some point. Right? Like... And and I think, like, BitTensor would probably be a great segue, but I also need to feel comfortable talking about it myself. But it was so... And they were actually calling me by my last name. They're like, oh, mister Shakurun. I'm like, woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Back it up. I am not the mister... No. No. My... The the name is Dave. Like, that again. No. No. I was, like, the cool guy, like, sitting on the desk. Right? Like, I wasn't the teacher, like, at the front of the room, like, pacing. I just literally was sitting on the desk, and they were just... And there's five kids in the class. It was phenomenal. But... Yeah. Cool. Great resource, And and thank you for voting for AMG. Let's go. Puppet, what's good, my brother? You good?
[0:11:52] Landy @CryptoLandy: I'm doing good, professor Dave. Today was a great day to make you feel incredibly good about yourself, but also have the stunning realization that you are old and actually behind the times compared to the young ones who can run circles around you. And once you once you get in there and you start to accept it, your desire will be to go back not just because you wanna teach them and help them learn more about the things that they're getting involved in from the perspective of having a lot of experience, but also, like, yo. Can you can you guys teach me how you did that? Oh, awesome. Thank you. But... Yeah. No. You know me. I'm just looking at charts and then screaming about politics and charts at the same time, and and, you know, we'll we'll probably talk about that a little bit later. I also did not look at anything crypto because people like to get into protracted arguments with the puppet, and that's never a good thing to do with with a puppet.
[0:12:50] Dave @DCBK2LA: Facts. Let's go. Landy, and I'd appreciate an AMG vote if you didn't already, which I'm sure you probably did. Oh.
[0:12:57] Landy @CryptoLandy: Of course, I did.
[0:12:58] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go, bro. 309 votes now, AMG. You're now in the lead by point 3%. Let's go. ATC fam coming through. AMG at 35.3%, Gishab at 35%. Twenty three minutes left. Bro, this is gonna come down to the wire, bro. Like, who do we need to pay to, like, make this Polymarket.
[0:13:17] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: We need to get my family accounts involved. This game over.
[0:13:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, bro. Yo. And Naeem's got, like, 20 alts. Right? Like, there's funny money and, like, all the funny money. Like, all that goes along with the funny money. He's probably got strippers on the pair. You know what I'm saying? So, Naeem, let's go. Enroll them all. We need all the help because this lead is not gonna last, bro. 35.3%. That's, like, literally a vote. I'm not even... Or, like, two, three votes. Right? Like, it's 310 votes right now at point... That's literally a single vote. I'm not kidding. I just did that math in my head. You're welcome. One vote is what AMG is leading by right now. So if you haven't already voted, please go vote. Let's go. DocNooNoo, what's up?
[0:13:58] DocNooNoo @doc_noonoo: Yeah. I'm just here to support my client's campaign. I now have, like, two clients on stage cohosting. Guys, the room is filling up. So, like, go click the fucking Jumbotron. Oh my god. That... That's not here, I can swear. And, yeah, vote. I'm good. Do not misclick.
[0:14:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Exactly. Don't fat finger this one. Okay? Do not fat finger this one. Alright? Yeah. Two clients. Look at you. Wait. AMG, are you paying her? Because I'm not really paying her.
[0:14:27] Landy @CryptoLandy: Just Hey. Cool. I'm
[0:14:28] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: not beating. My palms are sweaty. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is this is mental. I've been campaigning for four and a half hours. I don't think you know you guys.
[0:14:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: Like, I...
[0:14:38] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: Right after the quack space, I opened quack time, and I haven't got for ATC because I'm a loyal supporter. Right? So, yeah, thank you.
[0:14:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go, bro. I love it. He's amazing.
[0:14:50] DocNooNoo @doc_noonoo: This is not even about the quack head. This is about pride. Right, Angud?
[0:14:55] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: This is just for fun, bro, but I'm enjoying it. Like, it's crazy. I've done the dishes. You guys helped me, and I actually feel appreciated by all you people, so I can't do it without you. So thank you regardless.
[0:15:04] Kool @koolcryptovc: Oh, yeah. There's only twenty one minutes left, man. Oh, wow. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I've already pushed pushed it out, and, hopefully, you you win, bro.
[0:15:11] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: And if anybody's into Polymarket, this is your chance to make some money, so put a Polymarket out.
[0:15:18] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yo. This is this is literally AMG right now.
[0:15:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Hey. Y'all better go vote. I'm telling you right now. Go vote.
[0:15:58] DocNooNoo @doc_noonoo: Yeah. Dave, you have changed since hanging out with 16 year olds. What was that?
[0:16:02] Dave @DCBK2LA: I'm saying, I feel young again even though I'm a freaking goon and I always, like... I act like a 12 year old, but, like, now maybe this is me maturing. I feel like a 16 year old. I'm telling you, this was... I don't know what it is, DocNooNoo, but, like, it was it was rewarding. It really was. I feel like I'm on cloud nine now. Right? Like, I don't care about the... I didn't care about the money. Like, it it it showed me something else, but... Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Let me let me stop. Let me stay focused. But... Yeah. Pandora, what's good? Pandora, don't you? You've been farming us all week, bro. You better chill with this. All week. And what... The one time I called you, you need to be able to come off the...
[0:16:39] Kool @koolcryptovc: Thank
[0:16:39] Pandera @Dsgnrayo: you. Dave. Dave. Sorry. I'm I'm actually here on on Al at the same time, so just pardon me about that, bro. Like, I'm
[0:16:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: just looking. Yeah. Are you are you on an Al Jazeera space? Is that what you're saying?
[0:16:53] Pandera @Dsgnrayo: No. No. No. Like, I'm I'm seeing the news, and I'm listening to you at the same time. So I'm just trying to, like, keep up keep up on both ends. You understand? Like, bro, like Uh-huh. This whole this whole shit, bro, like, it's affecting your personal life and shit. You understand? So I'm just trying to, like like, get the updates on both end, and I'm here also, like, laying about... I mean, before you even mentioned voting for I'm good city, you know, I was on the live initially, like, before
[0:17:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: Okay. Good.
[0:17:21] Pandera @Dsgnrayo: This evening. Yeah. I already did that, bro. So... And shout out to Cool. Yo, Cool. It's been a mini, bro. Cool crypto. I mean, you you just everywhere lately. I mean, I've been seeing your post and all that. The only funds, the Bitcoin, the oil, the towel. I mean, where's the money gonna come from? I mean, man, cool. We need this money, bro. And I shout everybody, doctor. No. No. Landy Landy will always bring in the the finest analysis. I mean, it's been crazy lately. Agenda name, crucifix. I mean, Dave, man. Bro, it's been crazy lately. I'm just here, bro. I'm just here, bro.
[0:17:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Let's go. You're good. I I was about to hit the return to speaker button, but you did good on the glaze at the end. So we'll let you stay because we have space. So you you Gucci. And are you good? You're good? You're good? Naeem, what's cooking, brother? What's up?
[0:18:10] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Yeah. I don't I don't know. I've voted six times, and the vote's not changed. I I don't know what the... How did the implementation What are you simple measures. Like, what's going on? So, yeah, no. I'm good, bro. I've just had a bit of a a bit of a bombshell with regards to eve, which is... Yeah. Was just talking about it on a I'm good space. Yeah. It was supposed to be what was supposed to be on Saturday, now it's tomorrow. So, like, my whole family is, like, preparing for it, and it's it's all pandemonium here. But then I'm, like, sat here thinking, should it be tomorrow? It should be technically Saturday. So I might be the lone wolf continuing Ramadan for the final day tomorrow, and then
[0:18:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: Wait. Wait. What do mean? Like, it's not, like, predetermined? Like, I don't know.
[0:18:51] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: So so the the idea is you are supposed to go out and see the moon, sight the moon with your naked eye. Okay. And, obviously, in The UK, it's very hard to see without optical aids. And there's some people at the different schools of thoughts of how to sort of assess when one
[0:19:10] Kool @koolcryptovc: of that
[0:19:11] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: ends. Some of them follow Saudi. Some of them follow Morocco. A lot of the ones that I follow, like, have been following on, but my family follow is based on Morocco. So Morocco had a sighting of the moon, which which basically signifies the start of the next month. So... Yeah. But, like, here, we haven't seen the moon. So, essentially, it should be finishing the thirty. So, technically, if if you do eat tomorrow, we've done that twenty nine days, and so the... It was meant to be tomorrow's the thirtieth day. So I'm just a bit like, I'm I'm just gonna dye my hair. I've got the whole thing. I've got... Bro, I've
[0:19:46] Dave @DCBK2LA: got
[0:19:46] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: I've got I've got this... Because normally, I get my niece to do it. I've got her to do it last time she did it, and then I've done it before, like, hairdressing stuff. So now I'm like, oh, I'm gonna do it myself. It might go terribly wrong. It might it might be a prequel of the end of the year. I'm going... Might be going bold, bro.
[0:20:01] Dave @DCBK2LA: I was gonna say, bro, don't worry about it, bro. When Wolfgang's TGE comes and Zeke's nowhere to be found, don't worry about it, bro. I'll be on the first flight out there. DocNooNoo, you're gonna have to docks at some point. And... Because if I'm flying over there, then you better be right standing right behind me, like, literally color... We're gonna donate Naeem's hair to charity. You know what I'm saying? Like, we have something here called locks for love. You know? That's it. That's what we gotta do. You know? Done and done.
[0:20:26] DocNooNoo @doc_noonoo: Maybe you should make it a whole wall chain event in London and, yeah, everyone's come.
[0:20:32] Dave @DCBK2LA: That would be really cool, actually. That would be really cool. We just gotta make sure that we offer more than quack heads. But, anyways, I guess we shall see. I guess we shall see. Okay. Let me see. Oh my god. Also, my my little nephew, right, like, my nine year old nephew calls me yesterday, and now he's now texting me. When he found out that I was going to Nate's school, my six his brother's older brother, he found out I was going to his school to teach them about AI. He calls me up and he goes, Toto, I'd like for you to teach me AI. And I'm like, oh, okay. He goes, can you come over now? And I'm like, not right this second. I just ordered some food, but I'll come tomorrow, like, just not thinking. Like, oh, tomorrow's the busiest day ever. He's like, I don't know if tomorrow works for me. I'm like, what? So
[0:21:19] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: No. That was that thing that you were talking about a while back. Right? So you had that... Was it today or yesterday?
[0:21:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Today. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was today. So, like, first class was today. It was amazing, Naim. It was really incredible, bro. Like, these 16 year olds were telling me about they were already Gemini certified. Kid, they were using... Like, some of them were already, like, in Claude.
[0:21:36] Kool @koolcryptovc: They Do
[0:21:36] De3ngineer @De3ngineer: you know how long of them
[0:21:37] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: were using TajGPT though, bro? Like, they all use Gemini.
[0:21:40] Dave @DCBK2LA: Well, Gemini, I guess they got spot... Like, there was, like, a Google thing where, like, they get, like, Gemini as, like, a a premier spawn... Like, Google spends a lot of money, obviously. Right? Like, giving free resources from the New York State Department of Education, and that's kind of the default. But, bro, Gemini, like, they... But these kids knew everything. They knew Claude. They knew Codex. Like, I was... Bro, when I say I was so impressed, I was like, wow. But, like, cool brought something really good to my attention. Like, next week, maybe I teach them about, like, how this AI stuff, like, really ties into maybe some of the... And, like, maybe if we educate a little bit about... I'm not gonna teach them BitTensor, but, like, just kinda, like, put the opportunity in front of them and see kinda where their mind goes. Right? I'm not... I've realized today it's not about teaching. It's about facilitating the conversation because these kids are curious enough. They really are. Now I just wanna be able to give them some cool tools and just so it's... They just need guidance. Right? Like, they know what's out there. They've played with it, and now they actually see, like, oh my god. They're like, oh, wait. Can Genspark do stuff with, like, Microsoft Excel? And I'm like, yeah. They were like, because my dad does, like, tons of spreadsheets and stuff, and he's always complaining. And I'm like, yeah. Absolutely. You can make interactive dash. It was amazing. It really was. So, yeah, bro. It went amazing. It went really, really good. Okay. What do we got today? So... Wait. Update? S and P 500 back up? Are people losing money out here? Like, what is the deal? Landon, talk to me, bro. S and P back up reversing its decline. Yeah.
[0:23:07] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, yeah. I mean, look. I... I've explained this pretty early on in the conflict, like, within couple days of the conflict that what you're gonna see is because The United States is the world's top oil producer and gas producer, you're going to see that no matter what's going on in The Middle East, it's going to have a network effect. Yes. But it's more important to, you know, South Korea, China, Japan, and European nations than it is to The United States, and, obviously, those involved in the Gulf Region. Right? But when it comes to gas pricing, it... It's more important to them than it is to us because we have energy independence in that regard. We are a net exporter doing deals within our hemisphere as well with, you know, countries like Venezuela now that we snatched their leader out of bed in the middle of the night. So, you know, this network effect does push global pricing up because of things that are happening over there, because of the actual supply chain rerouting, the limitations on the Saudi Western line to the Red Sea. Obviously, a lot of ships still in Oman waiting to travel through the straits. So there is the insurance play that came up as well, and that's where Lloyds of London canceled the insurance policies. And then the DFC stepped in with a $20,000,000,000 backstop to backstop that, but they left one piece out on purpose, and that was the PNI. So the reason why they left that out is because you're not gonna... No shippers actually gonna pull anchor and move through the straight without that, and it's being used as leverage right now. And The United States is not escorting ships through the strait. Any ships that are getting through are because Iran has said, we won't shoot you, but we'll shoot everybody else. So there's very little volume moving through the strait. What does this... What does that matter for the markets? Well, as I predicted and people freaking were trying to tear me apart in DMs about because they think it's smart to actually fight with me, is that that network effect would not have the brunt of it felt here in The United States. We would still feel it, but not to the level that the region would. It's more of a regional issue that is systemic in terms of its network effect for raising global prices in general. But the point behind that being that The US oil prices very highly likely to remain much lower than our counterparts. So what we have seen now is the surprise. Oh my god. We're so shocked. US oil is lower than Brent. It's lower than Oman, and it's lower than Dubai. How could this ever be? Well, because people wanna drive narratives for stupid purposes. And a lot of this is coming out of the city of London. So in addition to them being shitty and never getting sun and really messing up Naeem's day, sorry if you love London, but I hate London because of the bankers. I love London because of the place. But they figured, hey. We could put pressure on The United States by pulling insurance. Notices started going out the twenty eighth. Cancellations really processing between fully processed between the second all the way to the fifth is when they pulled out insurance, and then DFC stepped in to basically say, hey. We'll provide escorts. We'll give you the insurance, but we're gonna hold one hand behind our back and see if Lloyd's wants to step in and actually provide the p and I. So they didn't. You can look all those things up if you'd like to verify and see what those terms are. But what does that mean? That means that we keep humming along at lower prices. Meanwhile, Brent spikes the high that it spiked at a $120 a barrel. And you've got Oman continuing to push up. You've got to a 160. You've got Dubai at a 120. So a lot of this is applying regional pressures. And then when you saw that The US oil market stayed stable in an area although elevated and then started to push back down, what happened with it is Dixie started to fall as well. Because Dixie was strong, markets rolled over, and that's the dollar versus other currencies. Right? Now when Dixie started to pull back, we saw a little bit of relief later in the session for the S and P and Nasdaq and Dow and all of the major US markets. Now one of the big things that I've mentioned is if you see oil headed down, especially globally, not so much in The United States, it's gonna stay a little bit lower, and still has the opportunity to spike higher. But if you're gonna watch United States oil, watch the dollar. If oil is going up, dollar's gonna strengthen, markets go down. If the oil prices come down, dollar loses a little bit of that strength, markets will start to bounce. But, also, there's a key thing here. Looking across Dow, looking across Nasdaq and Spy, they hit a macro level. So we have this big rollover to major levels at the 200 period moving averages for both an exponential and a simple. What does that mean? This big weekly area was the first target on any type of a distribution structure for the markets here in The US. We entered the weekly zones and started to get in a nice little bounce. This is all short term. Do not get excited about US markets just yet until they do things like break the downtrend. And right now, they're in the process of a rollover to a major area where we would expect support to come in. We had oil for Brent. We had oil for The US kinda hitting some major areas to the upside and starting to pull back. Now what you wanna look for is weakening in oil price coming back to the downside. And then once you see any weakening in oil price, take a look at what's going on around the world. Has there been deals made? Like, there was some confidence being brought back to markets when Japan, who gets, like, 90% of their oil through the Strait Of Hormuz, did a deal for oil with The United States today from Alaska. So they came to they came to us essentially and said, we wanna get oil from you. We... They're now getting a very big lesson, and the whole world is that if you don't have energy independence and you're counting on a place that can become a single point of failure with a regime that has not been cooperative well before this conflict kicked off. It wasn't that long ago that they hit Iran. Iran hit Saudi Arabia's pipelines, and that... That's actually what encouraged them to rebuild that pipeline with more capacity that runs from east to west towards the Red Sea. And that's the only reason that they actually increased that capacity and output through the actual pipe to 7,500,000 barrels per day. Now everybody's getting a really good lesson at how important oil is around the world, especially those Europeans. You're getting a really big lesson, and you're gonna be learning this lesson for a while. You wanna know why? Because China's smart. Russia's smart. You know what they did? Is they've started to stockpile for many years so that they can... They have months to ride things out. Right? They're gonna take a hit, and their economies aren't gonna do great. But it's actually European nations and NATO nations that decided that they didn't wanna be involved that are being called upon to, hey. Go secure your shit. It doesn't affect us. This affects you more than us, and we... We're hanging DFC over your head, and we'll we'll tag on the other insurance if you're gonna come and bring some ships over to... For escort so that we can concentrate on what we're doing. And now we're starting to see movement there. And what you're seeing is something that I've talked about a lot, and it is a global power shift. Right? We have a new monetary regime entering, and it's more than just the petrodollar narrative. This is a global reordering of power, and it's got everything to do with how much resources do you control. Because if you're too dependent on another nation, this is what the European nations are now figuring out. If we don't have The US backing us up, we can't split our navy because then we're vulnerable over here or over there against Russia or Ukraine or China or somebody else. And if we... Because they're playing the strategic plays is they become very weak in their maritime operations and have been counting on The US as the largest NATO partner in order to do things and our own expense. So now it's like, hey. You are diversified. You need something critical right now, and you didn't learn the lesson during the Russia Ukraine war when it came to natural gas and heating for your people. Now you're learning it on the oil side of things through the Strait Of Hormuz. You better start diversifying. We figured this out here in The US. China figured it out. Russia's figured it out. You have to diversify. You have to be able to be self sustaining, and you have to have strategic partnerships that give you options. And this option has been taken off the table, so we're seeing a fracturing in the global oil price for the first time in real... In history, to be honest with you, in in modern history, I should say. And it used to be that The United States was very dependent on Middle East oil and the Strait Of Hormuz, which is one of the reasons why Jiwad lasted so long and Iran was never actually... Which was the primary supporter on the other side and the state sponsor of terror as labeled by Western nations, the reason why they were never actually dealt with is because, well, if we hit them and the straight closes, we're screwed because at the time, The United States was very heavy, heavily reliant on their oil and didn't have some of the strategic partnerships here. But you can see you take... You're already the biggest producer, and then you take Venezuela off the map. Now going after Iran, causing a bit of a quagmire for allies, telling them to step up or shut up and sit down, and then also applying pressure to some of our adversaries to maybe get them to move on some of their policies, and that's reflected in the global markets right now. Primary reason why we're seeing the nice bounce, oil slid a little bit in US markets. We hit a major area to the downside for the S and P in this case, major weekly level. Expect the bounce, but don't expect it not to go further down because it's got a ways to go before breaking this very strong downtrend, which, by the way, presents opportunity. You should be happy about giant sell offs, you and should wanna see more so that you can get more just like in Bitcoin.
[0:34:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: I like that. Just like more. More. More. More. Landy, I do have a quick follow-up question, but I just wanna take one quick second because I feel like the AmGood thing is almost done. But, AMG, I think you're pretty good. I don't even think we need a reminder. It looks like the ATC fam came through really heavy for you, bro. Like, you're at 40... Almost 42%, and Gishov's at 32%. So with one minute left, I think you pretty much got this unlocked, my g. So, yeah, man, let's go.
[0:35:14] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, man.
[0:35:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's let's not... Yeah. No. Not not not
[0:35:18] Landy @CryptoLandy: Not Yemen? Oh, okay. No.
[0:35:19] Dave @DCBK2LA: Not Yemen. No. No. No. God. Blindly. Not Yemen. Although I can hear. I said, yeah, man. And then I say, I'm good. Right? Like, when you... When the no ask me how I am, I say I'm good. And, like, it's like, Not I'm good. Like, he's I'm good. You're just good. And I'm like, oh, right. Exactly. Zero minutes left. Let's see. Let's make it official. Let's go, bro. 41 with 41.9% of the vote. My boy, your campaigning worked, and I'm glad ATC was able to come through in the clutch. But you're campaigning all day, bro. Like, I was serious, man. And AMG, thank you for obviously being a great sport. I know you also came, like, last minute. My man ducked out of work to freaking help me out by coming on the stream, so I appreciate it, man. But, AMG, the... Give give give a quick, like, acceptance speech and how you feel after winning this extremely valuable Quacket.
[0:36:14] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: Yo, bro. Like, it's it's not even about... It's about the community. Right? Like, I it shouldn't be close. Mate, you sent me a message last night at eleven if I wanted to join. I had to check my work. I skived off of work for the last two hours. I even got the time wrong because it was GMT, not UTC. So you said I had twenty minutes. I thought I had an hour. I legged it home. Set everything up, gone this, and then then you... Then then then I won, bro. And then I had this four four and a half hour space after that with all these people voting, and I've been texting people and, hey. Thank you, everybody. Right? So, yeah, I couldn't do without everybody. So, yeah, thanks, everybody. And, I'm just blessed, bro. I'm just happy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I'm gonna shut up now, and let's get back to ATC. But, yeah, bless up everybody, bro. I won the first fucking wall chain games. Can you believe it? With the x score of a 111 against Sereni with 300, and that's all I wanted. Right? You know, your network is your net worth. You know what I'm saying? Yo. Thank you, guys.
[0:37:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro. Let's go. You can't... Bro, let me tell you what X score doesn't measure, bro. That's hustle. This is what I'm saying, bro. Like, if you are willing to hustle and grind out in these streets, bro, I go toe to toe with these powerhouses all day every day. Right? Like, they're part of my network. Right? So I utilize them when I need, but, like, you befriend them. Right? Like, you understand who they are as people, and you network with them. But also when it comes down to crunch time when it's you and you need to get shit done, this is the intangible shit that XCOR doesn't measure. Right? Like, being able to go out and rally community. Just like, bro, there was three... Bro, there was almost three... There's 355 votes. You know what I mean? Legit. Like,
[0:37:46] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: that's crazy. DocNooNoo, thank you because you, like, helped me. Right? You were there cohosting with me while I was doing the dishes for my missus because she was away. Right? And then in the last ten minutes or half an hour, I've been going to all my communities, talking to the frog lanes, ape... Everywhere, bro, and everybody just came through. Right? So, yeah, thank you. That's all I'm gonna say, bro. Victory for all of us. Right? Let's go. And we beat these goddamn snoozees. Right? We're cracking. So, yeah, thank you, Dave, for for for all of this, bro. I can't believe it, but, yeah, thank you.
[0:38:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, man. This... I I love this, bro. This is, like, this is worth all the nonsense, right, and all the craziness and also mixing some of Naeem's wall chain to zero tweets. You know what I'm saying? Like, this makes them worth it. You know what I mean? Like, I'll deal with them. Like, because you know why? This is the shit that I love. I love this. You know? I love it. Naeem's definitely away from his phone. Yeah.
[0:38:37] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: No. No. I'm just preparing my highlight. I'm preparing my highlights. But, yeah, I represented, bro. I got my my family accounts on this shit and voted for you. I'm good. Let's go.
[0:38:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. I love it. Yeah. AMG, congrats, bro. Make sure that... I'm I'm gonna send it to the to the Wallchain team and make sure they either put out an announcement and send your... I'm pretty sure they have your wallet address, but send me or DM the Wallchain account, your wallet address, bro, so they can send you over the the Quackhead. Alright? Let's go. Love this. Landy, I I did wanna just... But I... Like, just to pick up really quickly from from what you were saying. Like, so Trump is now... Is not... Like, so the US Navy will not be escorting, like, all of these these these oil tankers through the Strait Of Hormuz right now. So are we still gonna see continued volatility in the oil markets? Because, I mean, regretfully, like, Nat was all over it today. She was like, silver $67. She was like, yoo hoo, all over the timeline. So now, obviously, like, like, silver down, but, I mean, what's the deal now? Like, does oil continue to continue to jump? Like like, where are we going? I know you said $200 oil was... Obviously, people are are are psychotic for, like, saying that. But if Trump is not escorting now, like, that's gonna make markets pretty damn volatile. When energy markets and the stock market gets volatile, crypto real... Like, with the with the little amount of liquidity we have, crypto really does feel the pinch of these stratified markets. Where do we go, bro?
[0:40:07] Landy @CryptoLandy: Look. Global markets, it's gonna be a little rocky, and there's gonna be... You know, there's a lag time. Right? Because there is cost incurred for the amount of time spent to ship as well. Right? So if you have to take a longer route, it's more expensive. Right? And, you know, there's there's ships that are going through to the Red Sea to load up, and that's kinda limited in capacity. I think I talked a little bit about this recently.
[0:40:38] Landy @CryptoLandy: But, realistically, like, the whole minds and Minesweeper thing, that's more just for security and insurance purposes. As far as we know, nothing has been mined. There's been no verification of that, although it's been a really heavy talking point. Yes. There has been strikes against ships. They're claiming that they're only going to strike, US flagships. And, realistically, a lot of their stuff, like, their ship to ship missile stuff on the coast there got absolutely hammered yesterday into today. So... And they keep the... They're they're they're really down to fast attack boats with mobile ship to ship missiles, and then the the the the submersible unmanned vehicles. So that's... And that's why why you see the... Why the Trump administration is moving the amphibious unit, the the marine, Mew over there. So the the, the expeditionary unit, by the way, is what that is. And, realistically, that's... They can perform many different tasks, but it's primarily going to be in preparation for the... For... It's gonna be in preparation for them doing escorts, essentially, and providing security and having ships reflag. What does this mean for the global economy? Everything has a lag time. Right? Because of price paid to to to work its way through the system and the market globally is is gonna be... You know, it's gonna incur a little bit higher cost for a little bit longer until things are sorted out and efficiency is taken over. Right? And things actually start getting moving. You know, a lot of oil price is speculative. Right? But it's usually speculative in parity globally, right, within a margin of error and offering up arbitrage opportunities. Now there's massive arbitrage between US oil and overseas oil. So, you know, I I really don't know how long it's gonna last. It is very... Oil is the most sensitive asset to supply and demand disruptions and supply restrictions. Right? So there's a lot of things that that can affect oil's price. If oil continues to rise, you will see markets continue to go down over time even if they start bouncing. And that will take a lot of leverage out of the system and out of the markets until things are straightened out globally. I think that this actually has a little bit less of an impact on The US, And then it's really about watching, you know, where the important areas are to the downside because when things turn around, they'll likely turn around very, very quickly and, like... And and probably coincide with a new Fed chair and a whole bunch of other things that you can find confluences with. But reality is, you know, what are we seeing happen in US markets right now? Bonds getting bid. Oil was up. Dixie's up as a pair. We're likely gonna see more negotiations come out of the other side of this. What's gonna likely happen is everybody's gonna be concentrating on Iran for the global markets and the oil markets and what it means for the global economic situation because it's not just The US, it's the globe. And it and it has far reaching effects over there as it relates to here. But we're so globally linked, whether you look at China's economy and The US economy, which are, you know, essentially, BRICS nation and, you know, the the the dollar system, the global reserve currency system, but they're still intrinsically linked and relying each other because I... I've mentioned this earlier. You know, China's a net energy consumer, and they need that energy. And if if there is disruptions even for them, it it raises the cost when they're already in a period of time where they're going through some economic stress in their manufacturing sector through what's called inhalation. And that's a term you can look up as Chinese inhalation. It's occurring right now, and this exacerbates that stuff. They have to release... They have to... You know, like, Biden went into the SPR, the the strategic petroleum reserve. They're gonna have to go into their petroleum reserve as needed. They're getting some oil in. They'll be fine. They have a robust coal industry, but then there's other disruptions and other negotiations that could be had off of the of this as well, and you're likely gonna see those things happen like what just happened with with Japan. And not the funny comment that was made, but the actual deal that
[0:45:35] Kool @koolcryptovc: was
[0:45:35] Landy @CryptoLandy: made for oil out of Alaska. You you know, South Korea, which is funny because they're very, very reliant on many things that The US does as we are with them, keeping North Korea in check. Know, You they're getting... You know, they're they're buying military equipment from us, and that deal is gonna be done soon. You know, could there be something there as well for them? Because now these now these countries are thinking about diverse... Diversification. What if, you know, things settle down over here in the Strait Of Hormuz, but that's a single point of failure and has proven to be a big problem globally. Let's diversify in who's the top oil producer in the world. Oh, hey. That's The United States. You know? So this, you're likely gonna see a lot of that happen, which is The United States protectionism and expansionism, otherwise known as imperialism to many people when you're starting to look at, you know, going in and doing regime change operations, which I don't think that's actually the real goal here. And I know many want that to be the goal who are pro what's going on. I don't think that's the goal. I think that they just want terms that are acceptable to The United States and not China and Russia. I really do think that is. Like, I I think that's the case. I don't know if that's ever gonna be the case, but the goal is to basically destroy their capabilities. And if that goal is met for... You know, regarding their nuclear and and military capabilities because... Just because you destroy something once doesn't mean that people won't rebuild. Right? And if they try to rebuild, then you gotta keep destroying it. It's more about getting, I think, where they want them to be in terms of back on their heels militarily and with their nuclear ambitions. And then and then having whatever leadership is left that rises to power be more amicable to the terms that The United States wants to impose in that area and try to take the wind out beneath the wings of Russia and China. And a lot of this has a lot to do with the global economy and everything that we saw at the beginning of Trump's term. Right? The positioning of this was very obvious right from the beginning. Tariffs and drill baby drill. Now drill baby drill didn't necessarily result in new drilling. It actually resulted in the new opening of... The the reopening of things that were done under his first term that were closed down under Biden's term in favor of the green energy deal, which is a strategic risk to The United States. It's one thing that I think was a really big mistake on on that administration's part because then we would be in the same... We would be experiencing the same problem, an overreliance on a single point of failure. And I think what's gonna happen is you're gonna see a lot of new deals done, and you're gonna see you're gonna see European nations come to the table as well. They're already indicating that they would like to do so. And that... A lot of that has to do with political pressure and monetary pressure, like real actual consequences monetarily, and that is what is occurring right now on the backside of this particular conflict. And I I do I'm gonna tell you based on the charting, I think that this doesn't last as long as people think. And I think that things are actually wrapped up fairly quickly with some global amicable ends between the most powerful nations on the planet, and and Iran will likely have to capitulate sooner than than many would expect. That's what I'm seeing in the actual charts.
[0:49:22] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Is that like gold? Like, you look... Sorry. You're looking at gold. I'm just about to apply my highlights, so I'll just jump it in before I'm unable to unmute. Although these gloves are seeming to unmute while on. Is that because what you're seeing in gold, Landy? Like, it's not acting as if this is gonna be a prolonged conflict?
[0:49:39] Landy @CryptoLandy: I can tell you that oil's telling me that and gold, rest of the commodities markets, which look, oil did exactly on that giant spike up and then moved back down.
[0:49:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: He's trying so hard not to fucking sound like he's eating on the space right now. He's trying so hard. He... It's fine. Go ahead. You're carrying. Damn. Go ahead. You're good. Damn.
[0:50:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: How did you get? I thought I was slick, man, and you just called me.
[0:50:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: It was good. It was good, bro. The little... Bro, I'm conditioned, bro. The littlest blip in speech, and it's just like, bro, I'm like a machine at this point. But
[0:50:15] Landy @CryptoLandy: That's amazing.
[0:50:15] Dave @DCBK2LA: Keep going. You're
[0:50:16] Landy @CryptoLandy: good. Okay. So gold, you know how it had that big final leg up and then spiked back down? That's kind of what oil did. Right? And and I think that even for, like, something like Brent there for for you in The UK area, you know, it spiked up to a 120 and then, you know, came right back down into the 105, 107 region. This is because in a highly volatile environment that you have things that are happening in real time, you're gonna see these types of things happen. In in response to reality. And then the reality is is that supply chains readjust, negotiations and deals happen, and and intangible outcomes desirable for for your side or not your side are going to come to fruition. Right? And what we're seeing in gold, silver, and commodities, and even oil is that there is, I think, a near term correction that could be a longer lasting correction for something like oil. The danger is that on longer term time frames that if tensions continue to flare up repeatedly or cyclically, Like, let's say something gets settled, deals are made, and then deals are broken, which is something that Iran is famous for. Even within the Gulf nations, by the way, they've... They had deals with Saudi Arabia and then sent a ballistic missile right into their pipeline. Right? Like, so that was prior to this. Right? That was independent of The US Israeli operations going on right now. And that's where you could potentially see longer lasting effects, which is why I think that what you're gonna see out the other side of this is a lot of diversification as leaders get get really forced into a corner. And I think the the the ones that are most forced into a corner is the EU. EU nations and NATO allies are being forced into a corner and understanding that their overreliance on The United States and on all of these single points of failure and on Chinese imports and on, you know, relationships that they have not flushed out with other nations that have vital resources that they need, they need to they need to rethink their strategy. Because if The United States says... If The United States nopes out, they're screwed. Like, what are you gonna do? You're gonna go reopen the strait? May... You're... No. You're gonna go and you're gonna try and do a deal with Iran, which means you're gonna enable them and and empower the regime again. Right? Because they don't have the military strength to actually do it. And this is just true. Alright? It's a it's a fact. And, you know, I think that a lot of that's gonna be worked out over the coming weeks, and I think that things will settle down. And I think that markets are gonna present really good opportunities, especially if they continue down. But I'm seeing it in gold. I'm seeing it in in oil. I'm seeing it in the bond markets in particular. Because when when the rubber hit the road, all of that all of that, you know, pounding the chest that that people who who really champion bricks were saying, oh my god. Look at they're all selling bonds. Nobody wants US debt. Oh, really? They've been buying the ever loving hell out of them on secondary now. Isn't that weird? Now granted some of the auctions were a little goofy, but there's also some buybacks that that that percent is doing in the bond markets that I think they want us to clear of. Let him ex... Expend the liquidity, and then they can come back in later. But I think a lot of this is also going to...
[0:54:04] Landy @CryptoLandy: I think that political pressure will bring an end to this. And I also think that I think that the phases of the operation that... For The United States goals, whether you agree with them or not, the phases of the operation that are... That they're progressing into next show that they are, and I'll say we, are in a position in which Iran's regime is really in disarray and cannot stop from getting hit over and over again. It's more about, like, do we stop? Right? It's not can they prevent us. It's more like can we... Are we gonna... Are we gonna let up? Are they gonna say uncle kind of a thing? So, know, right now, it's survival mode for them, and we've seen a few of them already seek some diplomatic cover and and defect. So we'll see how many more go and just monitor the situation like everybody else. Become an open source intelligence expert like all of your newly found crypto friends that are showing up on your timeline now because they all have become... Well, I'm sorry. First, they were gambling experts for all of the various gambling apps, and now... Then they were AI experts. Now they're geopolitical experts that fully understand the Iranian regime and the history of the region.
[0:55:28] Dave @DCBK2LA: He said everybody's an expert now. I love this.
[0:55:31] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. I I think I think it's just it's just the the market is so dead right now. People just wants more or something to keep them excited. So they... I don't know. You are right, though. It is... We have seen a lot of crypto people turn banking experts, the oil experts, and gold experts, and silver experts. I don't know, man. The prices are down. People need to to to to live, man. So that's probably why.
[0:55:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: Me? Imagine? Yeah.
[0:55:57] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: I I
[0:55:58] Landy @CryptoLandy: get a lot of shit. Right? Oh, you... Well, you're you're pro... Proclaiming to be an expert. Right? Oh, well, I also make videos all the time about my analysis, and I'm right a lot of the time, and I'll give you my invalidations of my thesis. But, also, if you've been tracking long enough, you probably figured out that I've been involved in some of this stuff for a very long time, or I wouldn't be able to talk about it like this. It's not like, oh, I'm freaking googling shit while I'm talking about it. This is stuff that it actually... If you've been in markets and you've traded commodities, for instance, you have to be really aware of what is happening and the dynamics at play internationally. Like, if you don't understand policy and what policies can affect and what stances nations take and what happens if this nation fights with this nation. If you don't understand those dynamics and you've... If you've ever worked in in commodities markets at a very high level, especially when you're doing deals where you're gonna be providing liquidity to some of these markets, that's also risk assessment, all kind of... So that stuff. So, like, if you don't understand this stuff, you're screwed. You ain't gonna... You... You'd never work. You would never get the job in the first place. So... And then usually, most people that try to argue about it with me are usually like, I call it fartcoin. Okay. Good job.
[0:57:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Fartcoin. Yeah. Shout out to Fartcoin. Somebody actually... I remember listening to Kook say that there will be a Fartcoin ETF. That was kinda nice. Like, you'll see. I'll be right again. And I'm like, you're not looking good right now at 29.
[0:57:36] Landy @CryptoLandy: Put that out in the world, please, because there's gonna be some dumbass. It's like, you know what? We're gonna tokenize all the memes, and Farcoin's gonna be the main asset. Josh, trust me. There's somebody looking for an exit, guaranteed, because all they gotta do is buy a company reverse merger, start loading their bag into that for the shares, sell those shares at the top, and now they exited their FarCoin position that they were overleveraged in and sitting on for ages.
[0:58:03] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's crazy. Overleveraged fartcoin position. Just those words alone just are insane to me. How are we a serious industry at this point? I don't know. Do you know what I mean?
[0:58:12] Dave @DCBK2LA: I mean, if you were overleveraged in fartcoin, would you be shitting yourself?
[0:58:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Yeah. I see that. I see what you did there. If you were overleveraged in Farcoin, would you be shitting yourself? You guys see what he did there? Oh god. Yeah. Yeah. At least he's eating. By the way, like, this will never... Just FYI, when Nat comes back, it's ordering this freaking court. Do you understand? Like, you guys essentially... Yeah. Yeah. It's fine.
[0:58:38] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: I have applied in my head. I did hear, Landy, you said that Iran typically
[0:58:43] Landy @CryptoLandy: breaks a PC.
[0:58:45] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, sorry. Sorry.
[0:58:46] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Can you hear me?
[0:58:47] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:58:48] Dave @DCBK2LA: He's just being he's just being double.
[0:58:50] Landy @CryptoLandy: So far.
[0:58:51] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: I was just... I just thought you... Because I heard you say that Iran broke... Breaks the peace deals, like, if there was a peace deal. I do think it will be a short, so there'll be something that happens. But when has that happened?
[0:59:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: Oh, funny you ask. When has that happened? Well, boy, oh, boy. Iran going back on their word when they have made... I I mean, I'm just gonna use Saudi Arabia as an example who...
[0:59:20] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: Throughout...
[0:59:23] Landy @CryptoLandy: Prior to Khomeini's assassination, September 2019, they they struck Saudi Arabia's Aramco facilities over a major dis oil disrupt... Causing a major oil disruption. Now they claimed that it was the Houthis, but it was actually Iran that did it. This was later found out. They also struck some Gulf Of Monte... Tankers that were flagged out of various countries in 2019 and 2022. They funded and provided the actual Iranian drone and missiles that were hitting Abu Dhabi and UAE. And these are... By the way... Because you have to remember, Saudi Arabia and The UAE have gone to and even had embassies in Iran that they've been trying to work out deals with. And anytime that Iran got pissed off about anything that that was coming out of Karg Island, you so much as looked at their freaking container ships that were docked in their deep water port there, they'd get pissed, they'd fire a freaking missile or a drone over towards their neighbors. And that had nothing to do with The United States striking them. That was simply because of other things that were going on between the Shia and the Sunni and always having that that that relationship there that was not exactly copacetic. So... And and what you gotta understand is this regime... The regime that's there is not entirely representative of the population, which is why they had to decentralize their infrastructure, which is why they can still operate despite the majority of their leadership being absolutely wiped out. Because they take the same ethos that the Chinese take and that the Russians took at one point when there was a Soviet Union, and that's decentralization of leadership and military assets. So you have the IRGC and then the Iranian military, which is conscription based, and you you basically... Everybody gets to be a leader. That way, if one leader tries a coup, the other leaders put that coup down. It's the same thing that happened in Venezuela. Everybody's a freaking general. Everybody's got their little territory that they can control, and they operate autonomously and independently, although all within the same goal and infrastructure. And when you have a decentralized governmental system and military system to the the high degree that Iran has, you also get some parts where maybe the Ayatollah didn't actually want that strike to happen in '19 on the Saudi's facilities and the pipeline. But some, you know, whack job that that got pissed because some oil deal didn't go through the way that he wanted to so that he could benefit and line his pockets because they're all corrupt in systems like this. Just look at the Chinese waiting out all their top military brass right now. They're going through a massive overhaul. The same thing happens there where, you know, maybe Khomeini, even though he talks tough and was talking tough at the time, maybe he didn't even authorize that. Somebody just took it upon themselves to do it. Right? And that was part of the contention, and then they playing dip... Diplomatic cleanup, and things are all messed up. But, realistically, they had a... We're we're buddy buddy shake hands right now, and then they struck them. Right? And that was just fairly recently. And then you had all of through the 2020 time frame through 2023 when they were attacking various ships and sending in missile barrages to various places. And, of course, after '22 are coming into the October 7 stuff and yada yada yada. So that was that was with Israel, though, but they also hit other neighboring Gulf states. It's it's a complex problem in The Middle East when it comes to the politics in general. But then when you have a state that is run by a theocracy that doesn't even agree with their neighbors of the same religion, and they've got a lot of really valuable land and resources, and they control the water in a very key spot that is their territory over their neighbors who are oil economies, they are gonna have tensions. And that's where things get really complex. Now as for, like, what's happening in Iran right now, like, they're still... They're they're likely... Very highly likely have some leadership that's still around or getting promoted to take over higher leadership. But the the fact of the matter is is they're in disarray, and they can still operate autonomously. So it becomes a it becomes a cockroach problem. You you see it, you take it out, but then there's, like, a whole bunch all over the place.
[1:04:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: I have the good old cockroach problem. Trying to step on cockroaches, but, you know, they just keep popping up everywhere, hair dying themselves. By the way, name... Yeah.
[1:04:48] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Bro, either I've cooked or this is, gonna be a disaster.
[1:04:55] Dave @DCBK2LA: Bro, are
[1:04:57] Landy @CryptoLandy: you just dyeing the tips, or are you dyeing your whole head?
[1:05:00] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Yeah. Just the tips, tips, highlights.
[1:05:02] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. Oh god. Just the tip.
[1:05:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: The over... For anybody that had the under for six, you're officially pushing right now. It is six, mentions, in in six on mutes, by the way, for highlights. So sorry to all you Polymarket, degenerates. Looks like the over might actually take it because you just need one more, and we got twenty five minutes left on the stream, ladies and gents.
[1:05:28] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Is that on me?
[1:05:30] Dave @DCBK2LA: No. No. I mean, you could Brian Armstrong.
[1:05:32] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: Highlight highlight... Oh, Brian Armstrong. Okay. I thought I was the guy that put it in market. Damn.
[1:05:37] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We know that you obviously... Like, we... You don't... You can't predict. But, you know, when it's your market, like, you have influence over this prediction. You know? So... And also hire, please clip the... Please, please clip the hair dye segment. I mean, Landy said some important shit. Right? Oil tankers and few... And markets about future and, obviously, like, where we're going, and are we gonna go into a recession? What's gonna happen with the markets? But that's all fun and great, but people want hair dye clips. You know? So clip the hair dye segment. Thank you very much, Hire.
[1:06:10] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well, remember this too, Dave. There's there's another thing that's freaking the markets out that that is the undercurrent, and it's inflation. It's not inflation because of what we're seeing. It's actually lagged inflation from what... From all of the tariff policies and all the front running that was done to avoid having to pay those tariffs. And then late last year, a lot of importers had to start paying those tariffs here in The United States. So this is starting to bubble up in some of the reports already showing acceleration in in the pricing, and that is an additional fear. So when you stack that on top of oil, you get markets that like to go down. So... And and you're... That that usually leads to money per to go per, you know, And maybe, maybe markets start to turn around with the extra liquidity. You never know.
[1:07:08] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I mean, look. Recession, odds on Polymarket that US goes into a recession by the end of twenty twenty six are down 11%. And, look, this is what Polymarket is phenomenal about. Well, cool is crime because, like, damn, I wanted to buy cheaper houses. Cool. I think people are still gonna be able to sell their houses for cheap because Google searches, through the roof in terms of can't sell my house. So... And we cover that. So, I mean, people can't... Cool. Let me ask you a question about the housing market. Right? Like, are you... I know you're constantly on the lookout. Real estate's obviously a big thing for you. What are you seeing? Like, are housing prices coming down, like, near you? Like, what... Like, what's the deal?
[1:07:45] Kool @koolcryptovc: No. It's it's it's very location dependent. So that's why a lot of times you guys don't see me posting so much about housing prices being down all that because it's location dependent. If you live in certain locations, you are probably gonna struggle to sell your property or buy or... But everything is expensive, though. Everything is... But, of course, everything is by location. But me, personally, I mean, I'm still looking, of course, man. I'm definitely looking to add more. But I think it's it's it's just it's just it's just it's just it's just very interesting to see how how... I'm not... I'm good to better. I guess it was. It's it's very interesting to see how
[1:08:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: see
[1:08:23] Kool @koolcryptovc: how the... It's rough right now. I mean, people think, to me, my opinion my opinion, I think we've been in recession for the past four years, man. Ever since COVID. Ever since COVID been in recession, in my opinion, because the average person lives in this country are are struggling. Before the oil, whatever, this war really ran stuff. The war... We... That's why we follow this stuff very closely because it's... Because I'm seeing very interesting numbers similar to what we experienced in 2008. That was the great price crisis back then. But last... In 2008, around that time, oil hit, like, like, a 140, one fifty or something. We hit the recession. This time, I think we... The high of, like, 01/20 or 01/19. So we're pretty close, man. We're pretty close. But I just... I'm just worried, man, because
[1:09:19] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: It dunked after that as well, didn't it, Cole, after the 140 in 2019?
[1:09:22] Kool @koolcryptovc: It it did. But it takes a while, man. Like, this... And and and, like, for example, now the the attack on the the the oil plants, I think, was in in Qatar. I think the the... One of the the guys from Qatar, they they just said it's gonna take them, like, five years or more for them to recover from from the... From from just this one attack, man. So if, you know, this whole strict strict about move stuff, that that little... The pathway way of the ship... Ships kinda pass through, If they don't open, we're in big trouble, man. Like, we we... I mean, a lot of people in US, we're fine. It's gonna suck. You're pay a lot for gas, but a lot of people in other countries are screwed. Asia is screwed. Europe is screwed. Africa is screwed. I I... A lot of countries that aren't... I mean, US is okay, but, like I said, you're gonna suffer. Yes. But if you compare to other countries, things are gonna get bad if things don't stabilize. But as of right now, the the the the markets the markets aren't... They... The markets aren't acting like we're going in a recession deep. I hope this thing ends, bro. I swear. Because I I I... I'm seeing things about to get crazy, bro. I'm... And I'm really I'm really worried. I'm not gonna lie. I'm very worried.
[1:10:42] Landy @CryptoLandy: I wanna point something out real quick to you, Akul. In 2022, remember, we we hit a $129 per barrel at, you know, the the... That really kicked off the big downtrend in markets. Right? And we we spiked that area for WTI. And what what you're what you're expressing right now is very true. It's it... Well, we will feel the effects here. We're actually not even feeling it at the pump. We were at much higher gas prices for much, much longer, all the way through '22 into '24. It it didn't really start coming down. Even though oil prices came down, part of it is because The US was very reliant on imports and not necessarily exports, and that changed in '25 when Trump came back into office. So The US is pretty well insulated, but your point about Europe, Africa, Asia, it's it's gonna be very, very rough because when these types of strikes happen, The US is fairly insulated. Even China's... They're... They have a measure of insulation because they can just trickle out their reserves. They will have to refill them, know, for strategic purposes and, you know, if they wanna meet their ambitions of, you know, their their belt and road initiatives and one China policy. But this also... This still has an outsized effect over there as The United States continues to do deals in the Western Hemisphere with the likes of Venezuela and other places, which is just beginning to ramp up and come online, and South America becoming a massive initiative for the administration over... You know, it's gonna be at minimum the course of the rest of this administration, which you are right. The recession has been on since 2020. It's been six years of a recession, but the recession was not in the indices and equities markets. It was in the mainstream market. It's it's the regular people, right, that got hit and got hit especially hard and has not recovered since '22. Because in '22, you still had continually rising costs. And, typically, when you enter that bear market, you start to see cost relief. But because so much was done in terms of rates, it's sapped liquidity out of the system. And then the system got a big juice on walls... A bit... A a bunch of juice on Wall Street. You had private equity coming in and buoying prices while while they should have been falling with all of the extra printing that was going on in '22, especially '21 into '22 with some of those congressional packages. And what it did is it crushed any hopes of Main Street exiting a recession and turning that particular ship around. And and not to use more maritime jokes here, but in order to turn that around, it's going to take until the end of the decade. It's gonna take until 2028, 2030, 2032 to turn that around because we still have bloated private equity and private credit that is going to go bust or have to be siphoned and rolled. And the only way to do that is to start, you know, doing what... Honestly, becoming less reliant on other nations and more reliant on ourselves. And that's the wake up call that Europe, Asia, and Africa are gonna become more aware of in a post COVID world. And that is really that's the name of the game. That is everything that we're seeing geopolitically, whether you're, for or against whatever The US policy is or your own nation's policy, understand that it's everybody for themselves kinda time frame. And China's been operating this way. Russia's been operating this way. And now you have The United States operating this way. And you have the Middle East and European nations who've been heavily reliant on others for a lot of things that they need that are like, uh-oh. What are we doing? And then Africa... Well, Africa's got a lot of resources that they could tap, but they've also... There's a lot of problems that other nations have caused for Africa. So it's a... That's a subject in and of itself.
[1:15:22] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Pinder, go ahead.
[1:15:25] Pandera @Dsgnrayo: Yeah. Yeah. I just wanna, like, purchase what what Kuku was saying initially. So the the the loss on Qatar LNG right now, it's it's gonna, like, take them, like, five to six years to fix that. And because annually is around $20,000,000,000, bro. So, like, for, like, five years to six years, that's around $120,000,000,000. So for you to know how how how cooked the the Qataris are right now, and they're they're really so much under tension. I mean, I've I've got people there right now, and they're just telling me that, man, they they are thinking of just leaving because the the the energy industry is one of the, like, major things that is giving money so much. Right now, they... They're just really cooked. So, man, I looking at the way things are going right now, it's it's gonna have, like, a major major huge impact. I mean, I I think, like, the the Belgiums are the only one that right now, like, they... They've been selling gas for their rates are are super high right now. So I don't know. Like, man, we can just hope that these things just get resolved as as quick as possible. I just wanna cheer up... Cheat that in, bro.
[1:16:35] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Sure. But you definitely correct me. So so the the things that got so bad that The US actually actually lit sanction on Russia. Do do you... That... Do know what saying that is you... US is funding Ukraine to fight Russia, but they lift the sanctions on Russian oil, which is empowering Russia to hurt Ukraine.
[1:17:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well well
[1:17:02] Kool @koolcryptovc: So so so it it... It's it's just
[1:17:04] De3ngineer @De3ngineer: Guys, I understand.
[1:17:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: For me,
[1:17:06] Kool @koolcryptovc: I mean, I mean, I mean, crypto dude, man. I like this kind of stuff. It's interesting, but the impacts on crypto for me is just liquidity. And I... I'm just I'm just worried that that, you know, if things don't get settled, we we... It's gonna take a while for us to see a lot of greener numbers. So it it might it might be a good thing, man. We could we could have more time to to to to buy more crypto, I guess, you know, hopefully.
[1:17:28] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well, I would say... Cool. One of the the... A little bit of a counterpoint to that, lifting sanctions on Russia means that they have to buy sanctioned oil. Right? They they have to... They... That means that other countries, in order to do business with Russia, they're buying now sanctioned oil, means they're using what? Not rubles. They're using the US dollar to do it. And this is also kind of part and parcel with the meeting in Alaska between Putin and Trump talking about strategic deals in energy, specifically oil, and rare earth elements. And you can see that the pressure now being applied to Europe and Asia via this conflict with Iran is that this is... I would almost look at this as a test case because I think it's only thirty days that the sanctions are list... Are are lifted for for Russian oil, which means that they're gonna be dealing in the US dollar primarily to provide relief with the oil that they can ship through. This is gonna be interesting because I think that this might start cracking the door open for negotiations for peace in the Ukraine war. And I think that, you know, looking at the strategy, although I do find it ironic like you do that, you know... But this isn't anything new, right, when it comes to kinda the the negotiations that have been happening between The US and Russia since the start. Because there was an offer of of temporary sanctions lifting to Russia back in '23 as well, but I don't think it came to fruition if I remember correctly. When there was the possibility, you know, kind of after the first year that they they might, you know, maybe back off a little bit when there were some negotiations going on, and then that kind of fell apart. But... I forget. One of The UK leaders, the one with the crazy hair, what's his name? I know his name. My brain is just shot right now. He like
[1:19:36] Dave @DCBK2LA: Boris Johnson?
[1:19:37] Landy @CryptoLandy: Yeah. He torpedoed the deal. That's what it was. He torpedoed the deal. That's what it was. And then there was sanctions... Sanctions lift was offered. It... It's gonna be interesting to watch it play out. So, I mean, I am... Me personally, as as a red blooded American, want to see America win, not at the expense of the rest of the world having to go through absolute hell. So I think that there will be solutions on the table, and I think Russia and China are part of those solutions. I think that those are gonna be the major things that happen in the background and are actually starting to occur behind the scenes when looking at, you know, which diplomats are going where and who's talking to who right now and kind of what the groundwork what groundwork has been laid. One of the more interesting things to note for for those who are probably pretty familiar with the Abraham Accords is that there's been more cooperation than I've ever seen in... Between The Gulf States when targeting and working together on intelligence and all kinds of other things as it relates to the various proxy threats that Iran has been funding for a very long time. And I think that the... These types of pressures and economic pressures and opportunities open doors, open as many doors as they close for perceived tensions in something like Ukraine and Russia, especially because Ukraine's been doing some wild stuff. I don't know if y'all have been paying attention, but, you know, those dudes are resourceful. But, you know, go look at the Black Sea fleet that Russia had that they thought was safe in the Black Sea. Anyway, there's... I think for the broader economy, if we were to see... I don't think that we enter a recession, and here's why. I think that we would get negative growth, and that will be touted as the recession, the two quarters of negative growth stuff, touted as a recession. But in reality, what I think is the opportunity for lower prices will slingshot right back to the upside. Because when you... The way we measure growth is actually kinda disgusting. When you look at prices going up, GDP goes up. I hope everyone realizes that. The inflation actually drives GDP, and the inflation only works if you can keep the money moving. So what happens when we have money stagnating and not moving? Well, they just print more to get it moving again because we get more liquidity to get it moving again. And I'm telling you, that's right around the corner. They're gonna have to do it. There's no way they don't. And I'm not just talking about The United States. I'm talking about globally to get things rolling again Because you're gonna see that things will hit hardest, I think, in Europe for Western nations right away. And you're probably gonna see that be the first, you know, canary in the coal mine before it even... It becomes systemic over here. And I think that over here, we're gonna start seeing that, they'll drop everything to tackle employment and growth, and and production and and and creating that independence gap for everything here in The United States. I really do. And I think that a lot of it's gonna focus on energy, rare earth, production and manufacturing, your AI, electrical grid build outs. And you can tell by the the ODNI's assessment of risks that was just released by Tulsi Gabbard the other day that these are actually all... The stars are all aligning for something like that. And, realistically, I think that here domestically, that if Canada would would actually stop being a bunch of dickheads... Sorry, Canadians, but your leaders are dickheads. If they actually pulled their their heads out of their butts and realized that their greatest trading partner is right here and actually get some deals done, the Western Hemisphere would actually become incredibly rich and productive at the same time. Whereas you might see that... Then that creates opportunities for other economies that would be suffering. Canada, get your head out of your ass, please.
[1:24:27] Dave @DCBK2LA: Widow, not happy with Canada slander. Just saying.
[1:24:31] Landy @CryptoLandy: Who... What? Who's not?
[1:24:33] Dave @DCBK2LA: Widow. Widow is not happy with Canada slander down there. It's not our fault you
[1:24:38] Landy @CryptoLandy: live in Canada, though. Don't don't vote for weak leaders.
[1:24:42] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Love the Canada slander, honestly. Everybody got it today. The UK got it. Canada got it.
[1:24:50] Landy @CryptoLandy: Love Canada. I love my Canadian friends. I just don't like their leadership.
[1:24:57] Dave @DCBK2LA: I hope people could say the same about us. No? Yeah. I was I was
[1:25:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: Sorry. But we have a bigger stick.
[1:25:03] Dave @DCBK2LA: That's facts. Yeah. But
[1:25:04] Agent Naeem @AgentNaeem: that stick is gonna result in the downfall of US dominance in my opinion. We're moving to a multi polar world. Donald Trump is off ramping. He does not give a fuck.
[1:25:14] Kool @koolcryptovc: Are you looking to
[1:25:15] Pandera @Dsgnrayo: buy a house?
[1:25:15] Landy @CryptoLandy: He wants you all to fight for yourselves.
[1:25:17] Dave @DCBK2LA: Hey, Dave. Nah. Not cool. I'm... Right now, no. Unfortunately, no. I need Bitcoin back to... I need Bitcoin at 250,000 for me to consider buying a house, bro. Right now I don't I
[1:25:28] Kool @koolcryptovc: don't see... I don't... Though though though, it seems like we know it'd probably be going down, but, bro, it's just... The market is weird, man. They they destroyed the housing market after COVID. And I I just... It's just so strange. That's why there's been a lot of migration away from the... You know, those... The key states, man, from years ago. California was was... Well, I I lived there. Mean, eight years. Like, Cali, New York, that that... They were the shit. But now people people left Cali after COVID. That that COVID stuff left New York. And and even now, we just saw they they they announced a billionaire tax in Cali, you know, a Mark Zuckerberg, a lot more billionaires are leaving more. They're leaving they're leaving all these old states and moving away, man. I think the more they... They they leave and take business away and bring it to place like Texas and Florida and the Carolinas. Right? And it's it's not slowing down, man. I... It's just changed the game. And that's why I say it's very difficult to know to know where or how where and how, you know, to decide where you wanna buy a house. And that's why it it makes sense to buy properties where the money is flowing too. Because where I live right now, there's there's no sign of housing market slowing down, man, because they... They're building like crazy here. People are buying like crazy. All... It's on my street. I first moved in here, like, I told I told we bought a new a new property. As we we moved in, the entire neighborhood was was empty. Only one house is is... Was empty, like, a couple weeks ago. It's just sold, like, a couple weeks ago. And he built in, like, another 500 homes or more just, you know, two miles away from me. And those properties... With those property will probably go to. So it's very difficult to say. It's very, very location dependent, but California, New York, Jersey, DC. No, bro. Like, you... You're not getting... You... They're so overvalued. It's insane, bro. My my entire street, my whole street, we're moving to. None of them are are are from from here. I'm... I I stay in Houston.
[1:27:33] Landy @CryptoLandy: So They're all from California, bro.
[1:27:35] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. California, New York, Boston, DC. None of us are are Houston natives, which means a lot of high valued workers and and, you know, high earners are leaving those states and coming over here. Unfortunately, I mean, I'm... I saw that.
[1:27:53] Landy @CryptoLandy: I see a lot of people the metro. Cool. Yeah. True. Coincidentally, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be a Texas resident here as soon as I... As I'm changing my residency to my property in Texas because California is broken. It is literally broken. California is broken. It's lost. I'm I'm gonna give up. I've... I made that decision over the weekend. I... I'm I'm realigning my entire life to to get the hell out of here because it is not... This state is is terrible. And so, Canada, if you would like to criticize California, please do so because California is the... Is turning into the coastal armpit of The United States. They can't seem to figure itself out even though it's one of the world's largest GDPs, but it's shrinking very quickly. So... Yeah. It's Yeah.
[1:28:46] Kool @koolcryptovc: I... Yeah. I even heard about the market in Canada too, man. They said Canada is one of the one one of the most expensive place for the average person to buy a home. It's almost it's almost impossible for the average person in Canada to buy a property. So I
[1:28:59] Landy @CryptoLandy: think In Canada. Yeah. Everything
[1:29:01] Kool @koolcryptovc: is weird, man. Everything is so strange because growing up, it was about Cali. It was about, you know, New York. But now... Nowadays, man, 2026, that's changed, man. I think also Elon Musk also played a big role into this because he has, what, over 300,000,000 followers on on on on Twitter. He owns the platform, and he he was bashing California. You know, basically, when he when he moved to to Austin, he brought in a whole bunch of people over there. Right? And Joe Rogan lives in Austin. All these people, they have... They're very influential, man. They they move the needle. Right? And back in the day, it used to be... You know, Hollywood moved the needle. The, you know, the guys from New York moved the needle. But now it's just everything is weird. Everything is so different, and it's just
[1:29:47] Landy @CryptoLandy: Hollywood's going to freaking Texas. Yeah. Starting to build up production studios
[1:29:54] Kool @koolcryptovc: Yeah. Hollywood, same thing. LA LA... Yo. That whole industry to me dead. Hollywood to me... Because I I I like to look at trends. I'm fascinated with this kind of stuff. But I I saw this when Kamala Harris ran for office, right, whatevers. And she had every single celebrity you could name you could name. If you if you combine the social media followers for for these people, we're talking about billions of followers, and they didn't move the needle one bit while Trump had the, you know, the new media, the the the Joe Rogan and the new podcast people. That... I mean, that's where the money is, man. So that... That's where the the direction headed. And that's why every year you see the Grammys are down numbers. No one's watching Grammys anymore. Oscars are down. No one's watching that stuff anymore. Even SNL. SNL used to be big. Don't watch the SNL anymore. Nat, my my son, that's of 13. He he was like, oh, yeah. Who's that that... Who... Who's who's that guy on TV? He he was talking about Leonardo DiCaprio. He had no clue who that was. I was like, wow. I'm I'm getting old, man. Like, the fact that he had no idea who Leonardo DiCaprio was, but they know actual speed. They know mister beast. Like, the game has changed where
[1:31:21] Kool @koolcryptovc: podcasters and and the new media... Look at that girl... Woman, Candice Owens. Look at her. Like, she's exploded, man. What? Top three in the world, and when it goes to the the new media. So it just... And and I'm losing the needle when these people are telling you New York sucks, Cali sucks, Jersey sucks, move to move to Florida, come to Texas, He moved the needle. And that's why I said, real estate is very, very strange because houses in Houston twenty years ago. I I I will never forget this. I'm actually mad I didn't buy back then. Twenty years ago, I saw this property. I will never forget it. It was... This property was five bedroom, four bathroom. Yeah. Five bedroom, four bath, three car garage with a swimming pool. And it cost like $220. These properties now are going for $7.08, $900 in Houston, which means a lot of high earners in all those states have come to Cali. Also, I've come to Houston, and they've... They drive their prices up in Texas too. Even though if you compare the prices to Texas to New York or Cali, you can't compare because your your... It's still way way pricier, man. So, Dave, it's it's... I would I would recommend anyone. I mean, if there's anything you're doing this right, if if you listen to in this space right now, I beg you. When you come up with money or find a way, I beg you. Just own something. Own or own at least one property because I believe we we we we get into to to a environment where owning property is almost impossible now for the average individual because the average individual, you... You're you're talking about buying buying buying a a house. You know, I... My first property I bought is, like, three, ten, whatever. The same house I bought, like, fifteen years ago is now worth $7.50. So the average individual, when you wanna buy a house, you can't buy a property that that that costs $750 for a new grad. Like, you just you just finished school. So, basically, that means all your money goes to goes goes to your house. You can't save. You can't do anything. So it's just it's just weird, man. I don't know. Like I said, Dave, I will recommend anyone when that type comes if we do have a housing crash in the future. I don't know. Whatever. But just trying to buy something, man. I mean, I think it it it might be a good a good a good idea.
[1:33:49] Landy @CryptoLandy: Cool. Well, I think I think that I think that Dave should move to Texas, and he should buy a house there even if it's a little bit out of the way because it'll grow, and then it'll go up in value over time. But, also, we get to call you Texas Dave then.
[1:34:07] Dave @DCBK2LA: You know what they say. Everything's bigger in Texas. So, hey. It fits... If it it it it it checks. I'm just saying.
[1:34:15] Landy @CryptoLandy: I was... When I flew into Texas just the other day, I grew about a foot and a half. I was a tall puppet. Yeah.
[1:34:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: There you go. Tall puppet. I would have paused all that, but whatever. It's a Texas joke, so everybody has to deal with that from Landy. It is what it is. Widow, welcome. What's up? How are you?
[1:34:34] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: I'm good. I just wanted to defend my my country with honor because there's there's a huge there's a huge divide. Right? Like, when you say don't vote in morons. Okay. So don't vote in morons. So if we're gonna we're gonna touch base on this a little bit. So Canada, BC, and Saskatchewan are very divided. They're very individualized. They're very self sustaining. Alberta is one of... It's a huge... Like, oil is our hugest export. We actually sell our oil to The United States and then buy it back because that's how moronic our government is. But with that being said, we subsidize our entire country. We pay subsidization payments, and we float our entire country. So when you say don't vote in morons, it's easy for you to say that. However, just the Greater Toronto area, so it's called the GTA, has more vote seats than all of BC, all of Alberta, all of Saskatchewan, and all of Manitoba combined. So you can blame the Libtards in fucking Ontario for being so stupid and voting in... Yes. It's not all of Canada. Please don't paint us all with that brush.
[1:35:52] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. No. No. You just need to you need to come just just... Providence by Providence, just come become a state. Just lobby The United States to get the hell out. Because But
[1:36:08] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: that's not beneficial for us either. So what what we're trying to do is we're trying to become, like, the Western Republic Of Canada. Alberta wants to slay with BC.
[1:36:18] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: I do. But but, yeah,
[1:36:20] Landy @CryptoLandy: you know why you you export... One of the main reasons why you export your oil here is because it's refined here and then sold back to you. When there could... If you were... If you become a part of The United States, it's no longer an export import problem anymore. And then you can actually
[1:36:37] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: Or we build a refinery? You could do that. Do it ourselves?
[1:36:41] Landy @CryptoLandy: You could lobby The United States for free money to build a refinery too instead of having to go through freaking Toronto. Oh my god. Toronto.
[1:36:51] Dave @DCBK2LA: Wait. Why are... No. Well, I'll pick up the pick up the fucking Canadian. Now look at this.
[1:36:56] Landy @CryptoLandy: I only came
[1:36:58] De3ngineer @De3ngineer: up because Widow's throwing shade to us.
[1:37:00] Dave @DCBK2LA: But No. Widow's Canadian. I know. She's still... She is West Coast.
[1:37:04] Kool @koolcryptovc: She's... And she's throwing shade....
[1:37:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: Right. In the West Coast...
[1:37:06] Dave @DCBK2LA: Oh, now she's... You see, now we know why they wanna secede from the union. You know? Well, because...
[1:37:11] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: Dude, we literally pay Quebec, like, $33,000,000,000 a year to survive because they only maple syrup. That's the only thing that they're good for.
[1:37:23] De3ngineer @De3ngineer: They're a drag on the economy overall. Like, there is no question about it. But in terms of, like, the seeding, just the GTA has 7,000,000 population versus 4.8 through, like... I think about maybe... No. That number can't be right. Yeah. About 4.8 in the whole of Alberta. Right? So it does go on population. I don't fully agree with how we are heavy liberal. I am not a liberal or conservative. I told the middle line. I love guns. I love oil. I love education and everything along those lines. But, like, Quebec, they should just depart on their own and go do their own thing. They are a weight on the entire Canadian economy.
[1:38:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: If you Uh-huh. If you apply enough pressure to Quebec... Hold on. If you apply enough pressure to to Quebec... Remember, they're French Canadian. So much like the French, they'll just keel over and surrender. So just apply a lot of pressure, and then they'll surrender, and you can take over Canada.
[1:38:26] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: No. We tried this. We tried this. I believe it was in, like, '91 or '93. There was a referendum, And we tried to get Quebec to separate, like... And it got it got voted down. It literally got voted down.
[1:38:38] Landy @CryptoLandy: And... Did they stuff the ballot box? What the hell? What the hell?
[1:38:42] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: I don't know how it happened. I was a very small child. I barely remember it, but it was like, go away. Just go away, and then all our problems will be solved.
[1:38:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: Damn. The redheaded stepchild of of Canada. It's wild. Yeah. Listen. We get it. You know? We have our own stuff. Have we ever... Can I sell you this electoral college idea? Like, are you open to hearing about the electoral college? No? Anyone? No.
[1:39:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: Do what can... Do do what California just did, and they get really freaked out when the two front runners to to the actual governor's race
[1:39:22] Dave @DCBK2LA: are the colors.
[1:39:25] Pandera @Dsgnrayo: Oh, no.
[1:39:27] Landy @CryptoLandy: Crap. Did we shoot ourselves in the foot?
[1:39:30] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. Also, maybe don't elect the swifty as your next fucking prime minister. I don't know. Maybe... Anyways. But, yeah, all the... I love how all the Canadians came up. Shout out to solidarity. You know, guys, come on. One nation. Oh, Canada. But I don't know the rest of the world.
[1:39:50] Landy @CryptoLandy: I should know because I lived in Buffalo for so long.
[1:39:53] Dave @DCBK2LA: I just I just went to a few hockey games. You know what I mean? And, like, my brother in law's Canadian. So I'm actually going to Montreal, so I'll relay the message to to Quebec. FYI.
[1:40:01] Landy @CryptoLandy: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah. Montreal.
[1:40:04] Dave @DCBK2LA: Listen. You know? Yeah. Well, my sister married one. What am I gonna do? I actually love the guy. He's my... One of my favorite people in the in the world. You know?
[1:40:11] Landy @CryptoLandy: So Oh, they're always very nice unless you go into Montreal or Quebec. Man,
[1:40:18] Dave @DCBK2LA: I'm... And I did not have, you know, defensive Canada on my ATC bingo card for the evening. But, Widow, de engineer, thank you, very much. Very, very much. I like this. I feel like Canadians are also way more educated than Americans. Unlike the fact that she knew that there was a referendum in '91 is kinda fucking wild.
[1:40:37] Landy @CryptoLandy: Our our education system is...
[1:40:39] De3ngineer @De3ngineer: That was huge news up here.
[1:40:41] Landy @CryptoLandy: And that's why No. There's more Dave's in
[1:40:43] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: the Yeah. But we... I've spoken to people from The States and, like, so when we go to school, we have what we call social studies. And then I was speaking to people from The States, and they're just like, oh, we have, like, whatever our state is studies. And, like, that's basically what they what they learn. And we're, like, we have to learn about the entire world. We don't have a choice.
[1:41:05] Landy @CryptoLandy: We did too. At one point, we used to have to... Oh, man. This is... I'm a nineties. I I went to high school in the nineties, and this is gonna expose me.
[1:41:13] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah, bro.
[1:41:14] Landy @CryptoLandy: But we had social studies. And I was living in Rochester, New York and traveling to Buffalo all the time and also in Canada. And I learned French. Alright? I I had to learn French, and I went to social studies, and I learned about The United States and Canada and the revolutionary war and all of the different wars between the the French and Spanish and and... Oh my god. I learned all about the global history. Now I went to one of my kids' schools, and I asked them, the teacher in the parent teacher conference, what are they learning about, like, history? Like, oh, well, they were learning about the history of the LGBTQ plus community in California. I shit you not. That's what they were studying. And the... And I was like, how is this gonna affect their life later on when they need to know things about the history of, like, The United States? Oh, well, we went through the constitution. Oh, how long was that? Oh, we did a week and we did one paper on it. I was like, did you not discuss, like, the history of The United States, how we came to be, and, you know, the... Anything about the t or the stamp act or anything? Nothing. Nothing. I'm like, what?
[1:42:31] Dave @DCBK2LA: He said the t. He said the t.
[1:42:35] Landy @CryptoLandy: Well, because everybody thinks about the t in the harbor, but it was because of
[1:42:38] Dave @DCBK2LA: the Yeah. Yeah. I know. Anything about the t, she's probably just like, yeah. There's a t in LGBTQ. Like, yeah. Yo.
[1:42:48] Landy @CryptoLandy: And I have no problem with the community either. It's just like, but is it really that important in social studies? I thought that you're doing this in biology and gym class and everywhere... Every other class. Like, is this the overarching topic, or are you gonna learn about America, Canada, Mexico, South America? Do they even know what state they're in? Well, listen. As a gay as as
[1:43:11] chroma @chromatique: a gay man myself, I really wish I'd learned about taxes and monetary policy when I was in school versus fucking gender studies. Okay? Just being real.
[1:43:20] Landy @CryptoLandy: I I didn't even
[1:43:21] Dave @DCBK2LA: know what
[1:43:22] Landy @CryptoLandy: gender was when I was growing up. Yeah.
[1:43:25] Dave @DCBK2LA: Exactly. It's not like you became more gay, coma... Chroma. You know what I'm saying?
[1:43:31] chroma @chromatique: No. I didn't... Yeah.
[1:43:32] chroma @chromatique: It's not like I magically just became more homosexual.
[1:43:35] Dave @DCBK2LA: Exactly. That's my point. Like, what the fuck are we doing on here?
[1:43:39] Landy @CryptoLandy: Turned out based. It's like he rejected
[1:43:42] chroma @chromatique: all of If if anything... I'll be honest, guys. If anything, it it just annoyed me because it really just felt like a bunch of heterosexuals, like, soapboxing and trying to be, like, virtue sing... Like, virtuous and virtue signal for the plight of LGBT people when they have no fucking clue what the plight of an LGBT person is. It's just a heterosexual person trying to be like, well, let me smash my narrative into your life
[1:44:09] Landy @CryptoLandy: for a second. Is that called gaysplating? Please don't mind.
[1:44:13] chroma @chromatique: Oh, gaysplating. Dude, yeah. Literally, it's gaysplating. Like, I don't need you fucking breeders telling me what I already know.
[1:44:20] Dave @DCBK2LA: Thank you
[1:44:21] Kool @koolcryptovc: very much.
[1:44:21] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: It's just cold as Breeders.
[1:44:25] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: I mean,
[1:44:30] Dave @DCBK2LA: listen. It could be worse. Right? Like, you know, we could... You could have senators that are saying that, you know, the the the black Hispanic and the the the underprivileged minorities in New York State essentially, like, can't... Are are too dumb to essentially show, you know, an identification.
[1:44:51] chroma @chromatique: Bro, bro, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? From 2016 to 2020, I had to live through a vice president that constantly had his leash pulled by the president of The United States because this motherfucker wanted gay conversion camps. Okay? Mike Pence was a fucking psychotic motherfucker, and Trump had to keep pulling the leash on him. That's why he wasn't VP again. Okay? He was a little. He he he got the Christian conservative vote, but, boy, he went out on the deep end. Okay?
[1:45:19] Landy @CryptoLandy: I don't even think he got that vote. Most people were looking at him like, why are you bringing him along? What the fuck is wrong
[1:45:25] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: with you?
[1:45:26] chroma @chromatique: What is... Who... Like, who is this nutcase? Like, what the hell?
[1:45:29] Dave @DCBK2LA: He can, like camp is a real thing? Where is it? Like, electroshock therapy?
[1:45:32] chroma @chromatique: Like No. Oh, no. Oh, no. So, like, they they... So it... The the standard practice is, they would give you some sort of medications that are, like, psychotherapist... They're psychotherapeutic drugs, and then they would make you observe, like, the male figure nude and gay sex and stuff like that. And it would, like, give you, like, a physical repulsion. Like, you'd feel physically sick. And so it ended up that it seriously damaged people's psyches because you have these gay men that went to conversion camp. And every time they saw a guy from that point forward, it literally would cause them to be, like, ill and shit. So, yeah, I mean, it's it's pretty much like a torture, but it's like it's like a legal form of, like, abuse kinda. It's Yeah. It's fucked up.
[1:46:23] Dave @DCBK2LA: Mhmm. Okay. This... By the way, this episode is immediately getting deleted. If Nat Nat was to hear this, right, like, she had a doctor's appointment, this is the last thing that she needs to hear with all of you f bomb tie... With all these f bomb tirades. Chroma, you are literally a Nat Nat nightmare, and you're lucky she's not here or else you would have been fined a hell of a lot of money. Guys, get it.
[1:46:43] chroma @chromatique: I
[1:46:43] Dave @DCBK2LA: know. Web three, you wanna be able to curse and speak your mind, blah blah blah.
[1:46:46] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: Let's
[1:46:47] Dave @DCBK2LA: And we need sponsors, but anyways Gosh. Yeah. Widow. We're not yet. Widow, go ahead, and then we'll close out.
[1:46:53] Widow | collab manager @TheOnlyWidow: Next time you you allow me to come on stage, just please tell me that I'm not allowed to speak full widow. Just go... I'll go half widow. How does that sound?
[1:47:03] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. We don't have full widow.
[1:47:05] Dave @DCBK2LA: Okay. Yeah. We we do like full widow. I'll accept the fines on your behalf, but Chroma's just a nightmare. You know mean? You drop, like, a couple. Chroma literally drops, like, one every other... He's 10 times worse than me on a bad day. You know? I feel like he needs to go to, like, maybe gay.
[1:47:21] Landy @CryptoLandy: No. He needs to go to I'm married. I'm... Dave.
[1:47:24] chroma @chromatique: Dave. Dave. Dave. I am married to a United States Air Force crew chief who uses the bundle of sticks word as a comma. Okay?
[1:47:34] ΛMGӨӨD🇳🇱ᄃIƬY @amgoodcity: Sure enough. He said that's a comma. That's funny.
[1:47:41] Dave @DCBK2LA: Let's go. Alright, kids. Great stuff. Widow, I love that you came up today. So, not... Please come up more often for sure. I love that. Chroma, you get off of work at this time, Chroma? Is that I'm literal... I'm literally, like,
[1:47:53] chroma @chromatique: I'm, yeah, I'm literally, like, a minute from home right now. Yeah.
[1:47:56] Dave @DCBK2LA: Yeah. I figured. Because every time you you request, it's literally, like, three minutes to freaking... To seven, and I'm just like, this time effort does not know that we end the show at seven, but whatever. I'm glad you're here. Alright, kids. That's it. I got a date with a nine year old to teach him AI. That's gonna cap off my day. I appreciate y'all. Yeah. Cool. Amgood. Congrats again, bro. Chroma, thank you. Widow, amazing to have you. Landy, thank you for carrying us for a big portion. The engineer, thank god you also weren't chewing. He comes up for Canada, and the one time he's not chewing is to defend freaking Canada. Mhmm. Pandora. Yeah. Pandora and Joyal Jazeera and Naim. Highlights on the timeline, bro. We need to see it. Everybody, have a good night. We'll see y'all later. Peace.
