The Age of Transitions and Uncle 11-8-2024

up this podcast there. You can find my material. You can support me directly at the Age of Transitions dot com tea shirts for the shows. I have copies of my book, Revolve Man's Scientific Rise to Godhood. It's about transhumanism and technology topic as important as it ever has been today. But paperback and ebook copies are available of Revolve, so get them at the website. Also have the Patreon campaign, which I do. I promise I will be putting new material up. I have lots of old tapes that I'm

planning to actually live stream. Patreon has done a great job at adding a lot of video functionality that they did not have when I first signed up. But when I first signed up for Patreon, I was able to do bonus podcasts and upload them there. That's pretty much it. I had a couple of files which you can subscribe there and get the first hundred episodes of trans Resistor Radio are available at a certain tier at the Patrio campaign.

But now I'm actually very excited about you can live stream through Patreon exclusively and you can post video there, which and directly to their servers, which is not an option before. It's all quite convoluted and difficult before. So I am planning on posting some old tapes that I have that listeners the show would really enjoy. So I'm going to be posting us at Patreon soon. The reason I haven't yet is it's been a little hectic here at home. I've been kind of shifting my studio around.

It's just been busy. But I'm going to have some time coming up soon or I'll be able to dedicate to doing that sort of thing. So I'm hoping to do that. And also on that note, I will say that mark your calendars because I'm planning to do a Thanksgiving Day special live stream. This isn't on Patreon. This is going to be just available through all of these same live stream channels that Uncle uses, So it's at Uncle Podcast on YouTube, twitch Kick, and then also my

twitter x page. We'll have this live stream there that's front simulation on Twitter x if you don't follow me. The live stream will be all day on Thanksgiving. I'm going to start it in the morning as early as I can, and I'm just going to What I'm going to do is basically flip the switch on, have the live stream running all day, and I'm not going to

be on camera. I'm going to be afk at different points, as the kids say, but I'm going to try to be there as much as I can throughout the day, and I'm going to be playing lots of old video. At some point I'll play the Age of Transitions. My plan is to play the DVD version of the Age of Transitions. I can't remember if you what bonus features I have on there. I might play the bonus features. Because I have the ability to do hook up all

sorts of interesting old media devices I have. I can hook my video camera up, I can hook the VCR up, I can hook the DVD player up. So I'm gonna go into my old archives and play a lot of old stuff. I'm gonna play the add TV video in full. If anybody knows what that is. That's my old cable access show. I basically did kind of like what you call like the movie version of the show. I made a DVD of it, and it's like an hour long DVD. I'll be playing that, probably be playing the bonus features

of that. I'll play the Age of Transitions. I'll be playing all sorts of interesting audio that I've collected over the years. I'm planning on having different special guests show up. I don't want to say now, I'm in the planning stages. I've had different people agree, but I don't want to like put them on spot, like, yeah, this guy's gonna

be here. I'm gonna have different people stopping by, or we're gonna be doing segments and all sorts of weird experimental stuff, fun things, and yeah, it's gonna be an all day Thanksgiving special. I'm calling this special the War on Christmas Thanksgiving Spectacular. Like that title. Are you triggered by it? If you are? Your lame and sorry but not sorry. But if there's anything I've learned in making media over the years is that you get nowhere without

being bumpastic. You have to grab attention. You have to because if you're not, you're not making media. If you're not out there shock jogging it up, just hang up your hat. What are you even why even doing this? You gotta be out there offending people. You gotta be out there annoying people. You gotta be out there being sometimes a jerk. And if that's what I'm being by calling this the War on Christmas, then so be it. But honestly, this is probably like is that really? I mean,

what offends anybody anymore? I don't think it's really offensive. I find it humorous and funny. So the War on Christmas Thanksgiving Spectacular is coming up on Thanksgiving Day. Once again, market calendars join me. I might end up taking Skype calls that day, so if you want to call into the show, that should be an option too. So all sorts of stuff. I'm working on it now and collecting all sorts of silly material, all sorts of great fun stuff.

I've been lately. I've been retooling my entire setup and going back into some old videos that I have, some old material I have trips down memory lane. A lot of it's going to be that, but there's also going to be unique and new material on the special two so Thanksgiving Day. Remember that also at the Age of Transitions dot Com. They are the affiliate links, but nobody uses them, so you know if you if you ever do, I get a little bit of money for it. But

that's the only advertising I do on the site. I don't know if anybody knows is that. But I am very discriminating about the ads on the Age of Transitions dot Com, and those are the only ones. Is affiliate ads. There's nothing else. So you are welcome for not subjecting you to an insane array of ads like most sites do. For what that's worth, that's important to me. So there you go. What an exciting day, What an exciting time

to be alive. My gosh, I'm just filled with optimism and excitement about all the opportunities we as Americans have coming up into this glorious future of ours. My goodness, the sky is the length meant so many good things to look forward to. What a time to be alive? What a time? I mean, I don't have to sit up here and give you the rundown of current events. There's really only one major current event going on at everybody knows what happened. Donald Trump is returning, making a

glorious return to the White House. He skipped four years in the middle, but he's doing his second set of four years to add up to eight unless he finds a way to make it more and tax the more onto the end in this new term. But you know that's another issue altogether. So he's back, Thank goodness, Thank goodness. It's time to get back to making it great. Just like Pizza Hut said. Just like he said, there's not a big difference between Pizza Hut and Donald Trump. Really,

So yes, I hope everybody's happy. I hope everybody's proud of themselves. I hope everybody's real excited. I will say at the beginning of this, this is something that I just heard about today through my wife. I'm not too excited about this. And I don't know how much stock I put in this, because it sounds like I have

not looked into this myself. But the only good in this aspect of the story would be that I get to gloat about being right about making a prediction I made a while back on this show, which I was mentioning during the election that no matter which side wins

Republican Democrat, the other side would scream foul election fraud. Yes, it was obvious that Trump was going to do that if he lost, But now the story is that he won, Harris loss, so the Democratic liberal faction is left to be the ones saying this was still on now, as I said, apparently there's people saying, like, look, there's chickanery here, elon musk technology, the Russian bomb threats to polling sites on the day of the election, that the other thing.

So there is at least buzz of that happening. Now. I don't know how much stock I'm putting in a yet, because it could be one of these things that just kind of like pops up that people want to believe, and it's a conspiracy theory, exciting idea for the left

side of the political spectrum, and so I'm not I'm not. Frankly, it's kind of like throwing me off because I have all sorts of like ideas about this topic generally, and if that were to go ahead and this becomes an act and this comes out in the public, it becomes a big it would become a huge deal. It would be a huge deal. It would throw a massive wrench into everything, and it would be frankly, an utter nightmare. It would be the repercussions of that's it's Oh, it

would be horrible. I think it's almost worse than just like letting this idiot come back into office. Honestly, I mean that's bad too. Don't get me wrong. You know I'm not happy about this. Maybe you don't. Maybe you've never listened to the show before. If you listened, you haven't gotten the even't got in the idea that I don't care for mister Trump and his his entourage. But there you have it. Stop the steal. Two point zero Democrat version is a possibility. We shall see. I don't

want to. I don't even want to go there honestly, other than just to mention it. And I get to do the old thing, which, again, as a content creator, I should be doing more of, is saying how I'm always right about everything all the time. That's another thing. I need to be more bumbastic. I need to be more offensive. I need to get more attention for attention's sake, and I need to do this as well. So I'm

working on it. There. These are all things that, you know, things to improve, and we're coming up to the new year, so I got all sorts of resolutions that I can make, especially for this show. And so don't worry. Improvements are coming on my end, but improvements are coming in the American government too. Boy, it's going to be great. Oh boy, I know you're excited. I know you love this. I know you voted for this. I know somebody voted for this.

Stolen not stolen. I guarantee tons of people actually did vote for this guy. There's no doubt. It's unimaginable to some, but not to me. I know that people just love the MAGA package. It's a marketing ploy. It's a brand. Trump is a brand, Maga is a brand. Branding, marketing, propaganda all hand in hand. And we all have bought in to quite a bit, right, We're all buying into something. And so it is that the glorious return is here. And of course the guy whose name is on the

branding gets the most attention. Donald Trump. Trump goes without saying he is the guy. He is the one that everybody voted for. He's at the top of the ticket. Now there's another name on their vans which is very significant, not just kind of significant, but I might just argue more so significant than the guy at the top of

the ticket, believe it or not. But not just JD Vance, but the entire apparatus group, which includes well the people that backed this campaign, you know, billionaires among them, many billionaires from Silicon Valley, the world of technology. Familiar names to us. Peter teel Mark and Treason Elon Musk, all involved in some way, shape or form here. Lots of money, lots of money thrown in to this and marked Reason. Yes,

these technocratic oligarchs wanted this to happen. They wanted this to happen, and they got what they wanted, and they're not done getting what they want and they're going to continue to do so and look for that as we move forward. So if you think, I think you voted against big tech, think again. Think again. You got the wing of big tech that flies under the banner of libertarianism. It calls itself libertarian, but make no mistake when they

say libertarian. Peter tiel Mark and Reason, the guys thatteeal funds to write up the philosophy work of his version of libertarianism mention just mold bug creep guys like that, all these idiot podcasters, bloggers, what the those It's that form of libertarianism which has nothing to do with civil liberties. In fact, it has everything to do with stripping away any civil liberties that might have been left in this country,

which isn't many. They want the liberty to take the US Constitution, burn it, and recreate an entirely new, technologically controlled government or governments. Even several They love the idea of little like city states. It's one of their little pet project ideas. So I just make a bunch of a little like it's the Middle Ages or something like. Each old town will be a law in to itself, will be run by some central computing system that they of course own. So if that sounds like a good idea,

you are in luck. You got the guy to do it. The freedom cities, as they've been called, are in the works. They're in production right now, make no mistake about that. So if you love freedom and you can stand living in a city once again, you got what you want.

If you hate big tech but you like libertarianism, there's all sorts of mental gymnastics you can do to pretend you're not supporting big tech, that you're supporting freedom in the most generic, disgusting way that word can be applied, misapplied. The good, that's what you're getting. Enjoy it. I hope you love it. I despise it. I despise this piece of trash that has been put into the White House. Now.

I'm not happy about who ran against them. I'm not too happy about their limp wristed, half assed efforts to win, which they failed at once again. Not happy how they never have listened to their constituents, never listen to what the electorate actually wanted ever, and they force feed these people that nobody cares about or wants anyway. So it's obvious to see what happened here. That's the other side of this. So we weren't getting out of a problem

either way, that's for sure. But if you even have like one iota that this is a good thing, just stop listening. Stop listening to the show. I don't even want you to listen. Just get out of here. Go enjoy America, all right, Go enjoy it and find some way to make things better. Because they're about to get pretty bad. Okay, you better put your thinking cap on, because we're all going to be in for a challenge

in these coming years. Okay. And when whatever it is that happens, when you finally realize what all of this meant, when it's by the time it's too late, don't forget the guy who at least said so once again. This is me doing my job as a podcaster for once in saying how great I am and how I'm always right. This is what the podcasters do. The grifter industrial complex is the new media ecosystem. That's the other exciting th story.

And all this the old mainstream media outlets not only lied, and I actually agree with this that they lied to us about what was happening. They simultaneously lie, but they're also diluting theirselves and that they believed this too. I think they didn't see the writing on the wall. They didn't see this coming. Now they themselves are the targets of this incoming regime. I don't know how that's going to play itself out, but we know what could happen.

The FCC. The idea of again the incoming party, is to give more control, to give control of the FCC over to the executive branch, so the president would basically have control over the FCC. Up to this point, it's been an evil, independent agency of unelected bureaucrats that only do evil things. Ooh, that's awful. That's real scary. When people who aren't directly connected to the president can do something outside of that, it almost sounds like a check in a balance. But no, what it is is a

bunch of unelected bureaucrats which we can't have. What would be better, What would be great, is if the president just got to say what all the rules are for mass communications. So I'm not saying that's definitely gonna happen, but I'm saying that that idea has been floated by these guys could happen. It's just a matter, honestly, of

how how effectual this regime will be. Are they going to be the typical politicians that bluster a lot and say a lot ahead of time and then don't really do anything when they get in there, or are they going to the well oiled machine that the Project twenty twenty five plan was attempting to be this whole time has been working toward. I'm hoping that it's not efficient. God help us if it is, because there's going to be a lot that gets done. There's gonna be a

lot of efficiency in government. By efficiency, I mean sweeping changes, sweeping changes. Yet it's more the same. It's going to be very akin and I think really the way it could be described is as a sequel to the neo con George W. Bush administration. That's the way I'm kind

of thinking it's going to play out. Because if we remember, and we probably don't because we can't remember anything anymore, but if we do, we do recall that the unitary executive really took off during the Bush years, the post nine to eleven hysteria of the War on Terror. It was the War on Terror years. It was the heyday of making all sorts of executive orders, making it okay that executive orders are just you know what a president does now, all sorts of legislation, such as the Patriot Acts,

you know all about it. The stripping of civil liberties of the American people in the name of what in the name of keeping us safe, keeping us secure, national security, all being done through the excuse and well through the use really of a big, scary, bad guy, a nebulous yet somehow realistic evil terrorist. That was the great enemy. It was the war on Terror after all. And yes it was racist, Yes it was religious in nature. The evil Muslims coming to kill us and end our entire

nation and way of life as we know it. That was the propaganda narrative. And not only was that the propaganda narrative used to cater to Bush and his sycophanic little republic look and voter base. Now it worked on everybody. It worked on the whole of society, except for a couple outlying, fringy type people who you know, aren't easily

swayed by propaganda. But those are outlying elements which don't make a difference, not in the big scheme of things, at least in making things happen in the government and in our society. Everybody was made to be patriotic, to support ideas like the Patriot Act, because if you didn't,

you were with the terrorists. Gosh, such glorious and what isn't great going down memory lane and remembering those times we should remember for what they are, which is horrible and not necessarily the beginning of all of our problems could go. It just depends. I say this on the show all the time, is like, what point do we want to see as our starting point historical starting point of relevancy for whatever it is that we're talking about

at the time, or whatever topics at hand. I think for now, it's useful to use the starting point of the warrant terror, the uh Bush administration years, the neocons, the reign of the neocons, p NEC project for a New American century. We are within that century. How is this American century working out? How are we going to not only have a new American century but make America great again? How to jive because and how could they possibly jive it? Does? It makes no sense on the

face of it. I know, because Trump has been billed as an anti establishment guy, absolutely against the old neocons, and his hardcore base is very much, at least ideologically against the neocons as an enemy, and they're very vocal about this. We know this from seeing all the online diatribes. We know the neocons are evil. We've been hearing about this from the main propagandist for MEGA, such as Alex

Jones and whatnot. We understand neocons bad, but that's a very misleading thing because I think in essence, what's going to happen, well, I mean the groundwork for what MAGA is wanting to do, what Trump wants to do, is keep building up that same project of the unitary executive, give the executive office more power over the whole of the government to such a point where the president can

do and get away with everything. The Supreme Court ruling that happened just recently, just this year, while Trump wasn't even in office, he had his court was there, and let's not think for a second that wasn't put in place for him. It was is uh, yeah, the Trump can or no, not Trump. But the president can do anything without fear of prosecution as long as it's an official president business, it's cool. Now if it's unofficial, okay, well that's bad. Okay, okay, so what you just everything.

It's funny because the more that the president takes control of let's say, the FCC thing is like, okay, now the president has control over the FCC directly, whereas that was not the case before. So now when he messes around, does something with media, and something happens as a consequence of that, well, that's an official act. It's something that could not have happened just a couple of years ago, but now it can because of all these sweeping changes.

Not only can it happen, and that it should seem unprecedented because it's a huge power gram, but now that's how things are. Not only does it happen, that's crazy, but any wrongdoing there, If something illegal happens during that, it's not illegal if the president does it because it's official president business. I would just challenge any listener that is pro Trump in any way? Are you okay with that?

Is that cool with you? Are these things I'm describing the president being able to do illegal activit and get away with it as long as it's just official president business, that's good? Is that a good thing? Do you see how out of your mind you have to be to be in support of this? Do you realize how misled you've been? Do you realize how brainwashed you are? I'm not gonna hold back, and it'd be nice to be like, Look,

I under this, I understand, I understand the appeal. I get the side of of what brought him in here. I get it. The disenfranchised mass of the US population which has been given nothing by the political establishment for decade after decade after decade. Not only given nothing, but more and more has been taken from the average person, the working class individual. There's a reason that more people identify as Republicans now because the Republicans are pretending to

be in favor of the working man. They keep saying that they're going to make things better for them. They campaign on the price of ham sandwiches, saying that they're going to be cheaper when they come back. Not sure how that's going to happen, but don't worry that that was a campaign promise. The ham sandwich campaign promise is probably like the thing that got him in there weren't

anything else. Now, it's funny. In the last week or two of the actual election, Musk and all them said, yeah, there's gonna be a whole lot of hardship as we completely recool the entire economy when we first come in, and it's gonna be hard for everybody, but you're just gonna be right. So he is essentially saying, when they get in there, there's gonna be austerity measures, but don't worry. Eventually the ham sandwich price will just drop way down.

Just give it time. After the entire economy is completely different. Whatever that even means. We're all using bitcoin now and stead the US dollar. Okay, that makes us free. So I've got Trump derangement syndrome. I just can't see the freedom here. I just I guess I'm not visionary enough, not a great visionary like Elon Musk, like mister Trump, hell like JD Vance. What a visionary. That man is the great state of Ohio. They just love him there

in Ohio, jd Vance. But I think another point to make here, which I don't think many people are thinking about this, But the focus is on mister Trump. I was making this point earlier. He is the branding for this. It's mega, it's Trump hand in hand. That's the brand that we bought into. So on the surface of things, we think that Trump is the guy in charge, and

certainly he will be put out there. He'll do many press conferences, who probably spend all day doing press conferences as long as he can stand up, which probably won't be two very long. I think that will be his main duty as executive. Meanwhile, all the actual work will be done not only by jd. Vance, but the Cabinet

and everybody who is involved once again in this regime. Now, if Project twenty twenty five, I know the supporters say that Project twenty twenty five had nothing to do with Trump, and therefore, when Trump gets in, you see how this works, like it's all about Trump. Project twenty twenty five isn't about Trump, it's its own thing. Therefore, when Trump gets in, Project twenty twenty five disappears. What I'm saying is that this isn't about Trump at all. He's the front, he's

the face. Project twenty twenty five is very real. It's already in process. They have lawyers, teams of lawyers that have already ridden the executive orders that they are going to pass when they get in there, they're already ridden, and they're already working out the legal justifications to justify these things that would previously have been illegal. Well, they have all sorts of justifications as that they're going to tell us why it is now legal. So don't worry.

What was once illegal now is legal. That's a good thing, because again the libertarian ethos of the great overlords like feel to them, this is freedom, you understand, It's like there should be no guardrails for those of us who deserve to be in charge because we're smarter than everybody else. Thing that encumbers our ability to do anything we damn well want goes against freedom, and we have to kick the guardrails off, kick them off anywhere that they are.

Do you understand that's what the idea is. That's what's happening. They are working on this now. They have teams of lawyers doing this, that have been doing this already written. I know I'm making a big deal on nothing. This is all made up. Project twenty twenty five isn't real, and even if it is reel, it doesn't have anything to do with Trump. The document, and it's many hundreds of pages, nearly a thousand. I only mentioned Trump's name what a few hundred times it says explicitly, like in

the first few pages of it. It's like what it says. And I don't know how many people have actually read any of this. I think probably like almost nobody. I've read a few pages of the beginning, I've skimmed the whole thing, but I feel like I even that was enough to be like, Okay, yes, it's mentioned Trump explicitly in this what it says, is we're crafting this policy action plan, these recommendations for policies for whoever the incoming

Republican president would be. We are writing this for whoever the Republican nominee this time, for this election happens to be. We presume that is going to be Donald Trump. We don't know, but we presume. Not only do we presume that we're happy about that, because we like Donald Trump. He would be great. We'd love to see him in there. But if he's not, that's okay. We are writing up these policy recommendations for whoever the Republican candidate is, whoever

would be elected as president. We present these i'll see recommendations to them. That's what it is. And so we could just say, like, okay, well Trump isn't going to listen to that. He doesn't have to listen. It's policy recommendation. So maybe maybe could be much ado about nothing. Maybe he will go his own way. He's such a maverick, after all, it's such a rogue, such a tough guy, such a strong man. I don't think he's any of those things. I think he's dying quite frankly. I think

he's probably demented. He is, as they say, unfit for office. But it doesn't matter. That does not even matter. Once again, put him in front of the camera. That's what he's always liked anyway. All he's ever cared about is attention, putting his name on the sides of things. Business. Yeah, he's been a businessman. Has he done too well with it if you look at it. Honestly, not really, But

that doesn't matter. His name has gotten out there. It's been all about the branding, the marketing, getting appearances in media anywhere he could. That's all he's ever cared about. That's all he's ever done. That's what he will continue to do, so he will be happy. So I'm happy for the old scamp. He's getting exactly what he wants and he's not hurt in anybody. He's just talking. He's

not going to go after everybody his enemies. That was all just a bunch of bluster at Roger Stone and all of them are saying, oh, that's just him talking. He doesn't he doesn't actually mean those things. And you know what, honestly, I don't know what's going to come of that, the revenge campaign. I know nobody cares about me personally, so I don't really have to worry about that. It's the you know, the people of prominence themselves within

the old mainstream media that probably are pretty scared. Frankly right now. I don't know if I care about that either, because frankly, maybe they deserve to be. But yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about Trump himself because honestly, I don't know how much longer he's gonna make it. He could die in office of old age. I'm not saying he will, but it's definitely a possibility. He is an old guy. It's kind of ironic how he used to love to just harangue Biden for being an old, senile idiot,

but he himself is the same thing. But you know whatever, that's all nothing really, So, I mean, he's old, He's not going to be in control of everything. Who's going to be in control once again are the ones who bankrolled this whole thing, the ones who stand to gain, the ones who those cavalier libertarians that love freedom so much, freedom for themselves, not for you, freedom to remake this country into what they want. But let's not forget a very very important aspect of goings on on the world

stage because I know it's all about America first. And we love being greedy, we love being self centered. We love thinking we're the center of the universe and that nothing else matters. But guess what, we live in a world where there's other people. There's things. When you go across the ocean, yes, what you get to eventually other countries. There's other countries on the side of not just one ocean, but every ocean, the Pacific Ocean. If you go on the other side of it, you gotta go far. But

there's other countries over there. I don't know if you knew that. You go across the Atlantic, holy moly, there's a ton of countries. There's this whole continents over there that's not called America. Some of them start a lot of them start with the letter A, actually the continents, but that's just a coincidence. I don't know how many

people realize that. But America first, God, we're selfish. This could be a karmic thing, quite frankly, and we all have to be willing to deal with that because we all kind of made this bed. But that's neither here nor there. The situation. We have to remember oh wait, we're not remembering. We don't even know what's happen. Okay, just international attentions, but tensions that could actually be leading

to World War three happening now going on. Now. Everybody knows about Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Iran, that whole area that's a problem. Yes, everybody knows about Ukraine. Russia definitely also concerning a problem, a real issue. Neither of those things should be downplayed or seen as not important. They are. But there's also the lesser known but possibly but very likely more important tensions going on in the South China Sea, the Indo Pacific whatever you want to call that area

within the Pacific Ocean there. I don't know if you've been keeping up with things, but there's been a lot of goings on down there. There's been a lot happening. There's a lot of vying for influence with the local governments, mostly island nations. There a lot of vying for influenced by the great powers that are within competition with each other, those being the United States, Yes, US we're over there, China. Those are the two major ones. And yes, Russia is involved,

Japan is involved. Australia obviously has an interest being that they are there Philippines major ally of the US over there military basically trying to make military headquarters over there

and naval military headquarters. The US trying desperately to do that and get whatever influence they can in the region, while China is doing the very same thing, and we all know, oh wait, maybe we don't know it all, but you may have heard this that Taiwan is on the table, and pretty much anybody that's aware of that. It's not if, but it's when China decides to go in there after that. I read an interesting thing in the last week or two of the election, while the

campaigning was coming to a close. It was an official from the Chinese government. I don't remember who, I don't remember what their position was, but they were an official officially pronouncing to US Americans on behalf of their government, and it was well, what would happen if Trump came in and the retort I don't even remember specifically, this is beyond paraphrasing. All I remember is that this Chinese official was saying, oh, yeah, well, we'll have to deal

with Trump. He's a great businessman, so we know that he'll, you know, run the country like a great business and that's something we as China, we'll have to work with from our side. And yes, and basically what it was doing was like play hitting Trump as as he has advertised himself this whole time since the twenty sixteen thing. We know, we get it. You're the world's greatest businessman. You're going to run the country as a business. It's about time we finally ran this country as a business.

And you know, you know, the connotations are that fiscally we're out of control. The government spends too much money. If only a businessman were in there, they'd be able to, you know, finally raining overspending and the fiscal problem. So this Chinese official what they were doing was what I think was what they were doing was placating that concept,

which is which plays to Trump. So not only were they were they saying too Trumpet like oh yeah we know, we know, we know who you are, and oh we're scared of you and all that, but they were also pandering to the electorate, which is bought into this garbage too, and they were trying to I really think it was like a propaganda move. Really, it's like oh yeah, yeah, we're scared of the big businessman. Oh no, oh gosh, we hope he doesn't come in with more terrace so oh,

we will have to he'll really put us on our toes. Uh. I got that vibe from it, but I'm an oddball. I might have been reading too much into it. I found that interesting, very interesting. And the whole dynamic between China and Russia. Are they allies? Are they friends? What is their relationship? What are their mutual interests? Are they actually antagonistic to one another? But they're just kind of allying with each other for a couple of shared interests

and that's it. If global conflicts were to escalate, how would they work with each other or not. There's a lot of crazy stuff going on there, and I believe as things as tensions ratchet up, and if we really get into a World War three scenario, the battleground is a new one. Yes, there's the naval aspect of South China Sea that will be going on, but the new

frontier is digital. I do think that the whole cyber security aspect and cyber warfare is going to be, if not a major part of the whole conflict, but the major part. And I've made predictions on this show about like a coming cyber nine to eleven event, which is just it just seems like it's a foregone conclusion. Imagine in America or some sort of terrible cyber security event

happens and just causes havoc on the American economy. Imagine that with the Trump regime in power, and the Trump regime responding in a similar way that the neocons responded to the nine to eleven terror attacks, that this was an attack on our homeland. We all need to rally behind our glorious leader, and if you don't, you're not patriotic, and go from there. But I might be really far

off the mark on this one. It's just something that's been in my mind lately that if Trump two point zero becomes neocon Bush two point oh, the latest upgrade of what we saw of the war and during the war warran terror from PNAC from the neo cons from Bush. If we get another update from that with this new MAGA Trump administration, it will be because of some nationally

unifying event. It kind of requires that. Now it's hard to imagine Trump being able to unify such a divide in nation, right, And that's where the real that's that's one of the elements. It's like makes you think, right, Will does Trump MAGA, do they have the ability to unify? Because really their whole mL has been to not unify, to to to build off of the antagonisms between each other. Here domestically to the point where people are saying a

new civil war is a good idea. If you have ever said that, or if you've ever believed that, go to hell. You listening to this show now, If you have ever thought that the idea of a new American civil war is at all good, go to hell. If I'm alienating people on the show good you need to get yourself in order right now. You need to get real. You have to understand what the hell is going on. And I admit I barely know what's going on. I'm trying my best here. I'm not saying everything that I'm

talking about right now is going to happen. And once again I'm going to revert to my old bad habits of being a bad podcaster, saying that I'm not always right. I'm a bad podcaster because I'm not always correct about everything. But I don't want to be part of the grifter industrial complex that put this dim wit back into control. I hope those guys are all happy, because they are

the establishment. Now. They got to find some way to pretend, keep pretending that they're somehow anti establishment while constantly cheerleading Trump and his regime on. They somehow have to do that juggling act. But it'll work. It always does. They're real good at it. So many people buy into it, but they're not anybody's alternative. They are the goddamn establishment. They have been for a long time. If you didn't

know that, the grifter industrial complex. That's what I'm calling them, and I'm calling the glorious Leader, which I don't think even as a leader. We've been into that already. I'm calling him henceforth strong man because I think it's hilarious because if I were to call him that and he actually heard me, that never will happen. But if he were to hear this, I know he would like that. You'd be like, oh, yeah, I have a strong man. That was great, So it's it would placate him and

he'd love it. Well at the same time, be a dis because we know what an actual strong man is, right, but maybe we don't. Maybe we all forgot what a strong man is because in the dictionary that's in Donald Trump's own demented brain strong, the word strong and strong man, both of those things have his picture next to next to it. Now, if we reference an actual dictionary and we look up strong man, what do we find? But we shouldn't do that. It's dangerous to look at books.

Dictionaries will soon and be illegal. We don't need experts telling us what words mean, what they think they're better than us. That sounds like a whole lot of brainwashing to me by an intelligentsia that doesn't. But that's the deep state at work. Dictionaries. It sounds ridiculous. I know, and I know I've got Trump derangement syndrome. I'm enjoying myself. I'm taking this opportunity. I know I sound I hope I don't sound defeated, because I don't feel defeated. I

see this as an opportunity, and I've already started. When I see something that I know is wrong in life, anywhere, anywhere in my daily life. Even if something's wrong, I say it and I stand up, even if it's something small and stupid, which most of life is forced upon us as just stupid little trivialities we have to live our day out through. But if they're inherently wrong and even ah quasi evil, I'll call it out. I've had it. I'm putting up with this. I've gotten World War three

can start in a year or two. I could die. I could die tomorrow. So I'm taking this opportunity to do what I know is right. I hope you do the same. Don't be scared something to be scared about. Again. This is all a good opportunity, and we may all collectively have a karmic debt to pay if we do. We can't whine about it. We just have to deal with it, and that is I have to say. We can act here. We can act all tough all day, but that could wind up being not fun in the least.

But we made the bed, now we sleep in it. Coming up in the next hour, we're gonna be talking about funny things. We're gonna be doing comedy. We're gonna be funny bits. Impromptu improvisational comedy is what it is. Uncle The podcast. Uncle The broadcast Friday nights on the Ochili Radio network after the Age of Transitions. Every Friday so do stick around. If you're listening to the Chili Radio network, the phone lines will be open. I hope you have something funny to say. I hope you still

have a sense of humor. I do. Actually, I'm just in serious mode now ooh serious. Look at the big, fancy serious man up here with a microphone. Oh he's a big shot. Don't forget. I'm always right about a reasoning. I'm a podcaster. God damn it. The Age of Transitions. Dot Com is my website. My name is Aaron Franz. And as always I will leave you by saying secret.

In the decade that followed, it became an imperial superpower. Generals such as Curtis LeMay not only wanted to invade Cuba, but knew that there were short range missiles on the island arn't with nuclear warheads that they could not destroy because they were on mobile launchers. Their invasion could have led to a Third World War, and they wanted to go to war anyway. The War State by Michael Swanson reveals why and will show you what President Kennedy was

up against. For more information, the Warstate dot com.

perfect guest. Ours is a comedy, it's improv comedy. The show itself would be great to have you. I've sent these messages to people and usually I don't hear anything back. I'll do it all the time. Now, mind you, I'm not doing this every day, but I have done it, and with little success. But that's not to say that if I didn't get the right person I could get them on.

of them. But there's you know, stand up comedians out there that think they're famous that aren't, you know. And then there's guys that are kind of well known, and a lot of them do podcasts. I mean, yeah, you know, Bill Bill Burr is on a podcast network. I forget what it's called because I know.

of somebody else's podcast out there. That would create automatic marketing for the Uncle show.

for me? That's what I was going to bet A nice day in La.

I'm saying. Yeah, I might have to try to reach out to him.

trying not to like I mean, just ask. Yeah, but I don't want to ask because I don't want to ask and make it seem like it's like this favor that's not disturbing, or say, you're following what I'm am? I making this up in my head? Is this some sort of neurosis I have? Am I making all this up? First of all, we have.

Forty stolen bases, seventy I mean seventy stolen bases, forty home runs for the Braves last year, Akuna and even a tawny god love him. Fifty four homers, fifty nine stolen bases. He did it under those rules. They get asterisks. As far as I'm concerned, they I'd love him. They're great ballplayers. They belong in the Hall of Fame. But you know, when you change rules and make it easier to do something like steel bases, you got to get the asterisk next to your name in the record books.

Eventually it's a dog.

and he just split. He took it on himself and uh, hey, man, they didn't have anybody else that could be trusted. And he came out. Man, that guy he should be a co MVP almost with.

a of a pitch baseball. And I think those guys that told him that minor league players were pulling his leg or they were guys who knew they were not long for pro ball because they weren't advancing and being able to hit even a little bit, and they pulled his leg. But there is cheating in baseball.

people really rely on them. One dude, he did a thing where you know, yeah, the calls were going exponentially against the Dodgers. I'm figuring Bill Miller, who was a behind the plate umpire that night, got a fat envelope, a envelope of cash with his uh, his hotel trade that night. Because it was really obvious if you're if you're a close observer of baseball, you saw this. And Darvish wasn't tipping his pitches. They were electronically transmitted to

the hitter. So we know this stuff now. But back then, to my credit, I told the friend of mine, something's wrong with this World series. Dude, I don't know what it is, but there's something fishy. And then he's the one who told me a year and a half later, Hey man, did you hear the astros cheated? What tell me about it?

Any game. An umpire can affect the game by making bad calls like that.

couldn't challenge. How frustrating. Look gosh, look at that. It's obvious. Tommy Lasorda probably died five years earlier than he had to because he never forgave Reggie for that. I that you know. So now if that same play happened today. We could challenge it and they'd say, hey, no, that's a double play yep.

So no, I think if we got to see the replay, then the manager can ask for a replay. I think that's a good deal.
