00:02:22 This is.
00:04:13 My my.
00:06:59 Welcome to the insomnia stream.
00:07:05 Chestnut addition.
00:07:08 I'm your host, of course. Devon stack.
00:07:11 Hope you're having a a good holiday or Christmas rather Christmas season. See look at that. It's it's it's even gotten to me.
00:07:19 It's even gotten to me.
00:07:21 Programming us to say holiday instead of Christmas. That ******* *********.
00:07:26 Remember when people, for those of you a little bit older, remember Bill O'Reilly getting?
00:07:31 All mad to attack on Christmas.
00:07:34 It's a war on Christmas.
00:07:37 People. Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy.
00:07:42 Well, since it is Christmas season I.
00:07:43 Thought I thought I'd put put.
00:07:45 You all in the mood.
00:07:48 With a with a song almost synonymous with Christmas for most people for a lot.
00:07:53 Of people, at least.
00:08:08 Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
00:08:13 OK, OK.
00:08:17 A A song written by a Jew named Mel Tormay, sung by a black man. I don't know. Maybe it is the quintet in. In that case, maybe it is the quintessential American Christmas song, right?
00:08:32 Mel Tormay the velvet fog. They called him Jewish immigrant from Poland.
00:08:39 Yes, yes, lots of those.
00:08:42 Eastern European Jews that have have done so much to enrich our culture here in America.
00:08:49 Anyway, I I was listening to Christmas music on the radio.
00:08:54 And this song came on, and it it occurred to me.
00:08:58 I've never had chestnuts.
00:09:01 Roasting over an open.
00:09:02 Fire. I've. I've never done that.
00:09:05 And and yet that this is supposed to be like one of the big things that reminds you of Christmas. Now, of course, Mel Tormay wrote this in the summer in Los Angeles. Poolside. Somewhere like in Hollywood.
00:09:21 But all the same, I was thinking well I mean.
00:09:25 He would have to be referencing something.
00:09:29 Right. There's got to be something that that people would be connecting to. I mean, you're opening your your big song with this chestnuts roasting over an open fire. This is.
00:09:41 It sounds kind of like madness to me.
00:09:44 I've never had chestnuts. I actually, I don't think.
00:09:47 I've ever had chestnuts.
00:09:49 So I thought I was. I would look into this. I was like, what? What's up with?
00:09:52 These these chestnuts.
00:09:56 Not going to make any sexual jokes. I'll leave.
00:09:58 That up to you guys.
00:10:02 And so I look into chestnuts, and I was like, OK, well, what's going on here? Is this something that we used to do when we stopped doing it for some reason?
00:10:11 And I looked into it.
00:10:12 And I oh, turns out.
00:10:15 Chestnut trees.
00:10:18 The redwoods of the east.
00:10:21 The redwoods of the east, the Pride.
00:10:25 Of the Appalachians.
00:10:29 They've been around.
00:10:31 For 20 to 40 million years, these huge trees.
00:10:37 Growing all across the the appalachias.
00:10:43 4 billion trees billion with a B.
00:10:47 In fact, that means there's so many of these trees.
00:10:50 One in four.
00:10:53 Is a chestnut tree.
00:10:55 They cover an area of over 200 million acres.
00:11:02 And they're old trees. Ancient trees, like the, you know, the reason they call them the the redwoods of the east.
00:11:10 They often live up to 600 years and sometimes as long as.
00:11:14 800 years.
00:11:16 And I'm thinking like, wow, I've never, I've I've. I've for some reason I've I've never heard of this. I've never.
00:11:22 Ever heard of this?
00:11:25 They fed Hernando de Soto.
00:11:29 And his men, during their expedition through the Appalachians in 1540.
00:11:37 They're considered a cradle to grave tree.
00:11:43 The reason why they call them the cradle to grave tree is your cradle would be made out of chestnut and chestnut wood.
00:11:53 And your Gray or your casket would also be made out of chestnut wood.
00:12:01 And all the furniture and in your house, and possibly your house itself, would be.
00:12:07 Built out of chestnut.
00:12:10 And again, I'm saying, wow, this doesn't this none of this sounds familiar to me. This is weird.
00:12:16 They're huge.
00:12:18 Here's a particularly large one photoed here.
00:12:23 They can grow, they they typically grow in fact.
00:12:26 Up to about 100 feet tall.
00:12:29 That's as tall as a 10 story building.
00:12:32 Sometimes there as much as 30 feet in diameter.
00:12:38 We're talking, you know, they don't call the redwoods of the.
00:12:40 East for no reason.
00:12:43 Huge towering trees, their canopy shades the rest of the forest.
00:12:49 You know, there's so much tall in the other trees around them, they poke up over the canopy and they're not only 100 feet tall, they're, you know, there's several feet wide.
00:12:59 The chestnut wood. It's a strong wood.
00:13:04 It's very weather resistant.
00:13:07 They would, they would use chestnut wood to build, you know, railroad ties.
00:13:14 And they'd stick them right in the ground. And in fact, there's there's still railroad ties.
00:13:20 They were put in the ground about 100 years ago or so that are chestnut wood and they're they haven't rotted away.
00:13:32 Also good for telephone poles.
00:13:36 For the same reason.
00:13:39 They have a a high concentration of tannic acid.
00:13:44 Which is the secret to their longevity?
00:13:50 There's even old homes.
00:13:53 I think this this home here. This building is about 200 years old. It's still standing.
00:13:59 There are several buildings that were built out of chestnut that are still standing 200 years later.
00:14:07 Because of that tannic acid.
00:14:10 People will scrape the bark.
00:14:14 Which has the rich deposits, I guess, of the tannic acid.
00:14:19 Off of the chestnut trees themselves.
00:14:23 So after they harvest the tree.
00:14:26 They'll go through and this young girl here has got the tool that they would use to scrape the bark off.
00:14:33 They would let the bark dry and then take it out to factories to that would use it to extract the tannic acid to tan leather with.
00:14:48 Hold on. I got a beverage emergency. I got something foaming over.
00:14:51 Over here.
00:14:52 There we go.
00:14:54 Why? Just let's just start foaming out of the.
00:14:57 Out of the bottle there.
00:15:03 Anyway, now I guess all that tannic acid got it excited.
00:15:09 Yeah, if you cut them down.
00:15:12 They grow back rapidly.
00:15:15 You know, this is a a huge.
00:15:19 Chestnut tree being felled. Used for lumber.
00:15:22 Often what will happen in fact.
00:15:25 Is you'll get a ring of new trees sprouting out of the stump all around, where the old tree was for a while. In fact, the Forest Service recommended that you would do exactly that in order to.
00:15:41 Well, produce more trees in an area.
00:15:44 Because it's not just the wood.
00:15:46 That the chestnut tree is is useful for.
00:15:54 Even though the wood is very valuable obviously.
00:15:58 One tree.
00:16:01 You know, just a not one of these massive.
00:16:02 Ones just a typical tree.
00:16:05 Would easily produce about 3 bushels of chestnuts.
00:16:11 So to put that into perspective.
00:16:14 With the amount of trees you're talking 12 billion.
00:16:18 12 billion bushels.
00:16:22 Of chestnuts.
00:16:24 Per per year, this is a a chestnut right here. For those of you who've never had chestnuts roasted over an open fire.
00:16:32 They come. They basically come in these little fuzzy balls that you crack open and.
00:16:40 They got the chestnuts inside there.
00:16:44 Here's an Appalachian man Jake Waldrop talking about.
00:16:50 When he was a boy.
00:16:52 The nuts grow inside of bird and it's a big thing as big as your fist and long about the fall of the year when it starts frosting they'll open.
00:17:03 Then the chestnut falls out, and later the bird itself will drop off. I've seen him a time or two in the fall he'd come to dry spell of weather, and the birds would open, but there wouldn't be enough.
00:17:13 Moisture and the.
00:17:15 Nut wouldn't get loose to the bird. I've seen hundreds of bushels hanging up. Then it start to cloud up rain some and it was the side.
00:17:23 I don't know.
00:17:24 Just in an hour or two, the whole earth would.
00:17:27 Be covered with chestnuts.
00:17:31 So it's a very.
00:17:33 Very happy memory for.
00:17:36 For a lot of people.
00:17:39 That have had roasted chestnuts.
00:17:45 They are one of the most reliable crops.
00:17:48 So if there's a drought one year or you know if there's an emergency food shortage of some sort, you can always rely.
00:17:59 On these bushels of chestnuts dropping out of the sky.
00:18:05 In the forest.
00:18:07 They were also.
00:18:10 Or actually before I get to that.
00:18:12 Here's no more.
00:18:16 You could go into the woods in the fall and we're allowed to falling across the side of the hill. And the chestnuts are rolling down again.
00:18:22 You could reach down and pick them up, but a double handful.
00:18:28 You can pick him up by the double handful.
00:18:32 They're also very important for the honey crop.
00:18:37 They they create these very nectar filled.
00:18:44 I guess it's it's. I guess it's a flower.
00:18:48 That in fact, there's so much pollen on these plants, they would often remark that it would look like.
00:18:55 Christmas in July because there'd be so much pollen, it would come down from the hills, come out of the woods.
00:19:03 And it would blow in like snow.
00:19:07 So lots of.
00:19:09 Lots of bees would be flying around there getting most of their their honey, their nectar and their their pollen for the year. Just from this one tree.
00:19:19 Boss and gave up one of the best hunting property we ever had.
00:19:23 Whenever the chest rained in the morning early, the trees looked like just the whole tops were alive and hunting bees working.
00:19:31 And getting nectar.
00:19:34 They also produce food for the.
00:19:36 The the animals in the area.
00:19:40 Whether you're talking about.
00:19:43 The bears.
00:19:45 The wild turkeys, you know, deer, squirrels.
00:19:51 All kinds of birds, and of course, you know, whatever.
00:19:55 Eats these.
00:19:57 These chestnuts.
00:19:59 The predators feed on those animals, so it really supports the local wildlife population.
00:20:09 It also supports the livestock.
00:20:13 You know in the Appalachian Mountains, they got a lot of hogs in fact.
00:20:19 For a long time.
00:20:21 The biggest money makers for people that lived in that area, it was chestnuts. Whether it was the the wood or the nuts themselves or or the hog meat.
00:20:31 And there were so many of these chestnuts that would fall down from the trees.
00:20:37 That they would just release their hogs.
00:20:40 Into the forest.
00:20:42 And they wouldn't care about property lines. People wouldn't say like, you know, right now that's a big deal, right? If you have your cattle grazing on someone else's land, especially if they've got cattle, gonna be pretty ****** ***.
00:20:53 But there was such a glut.
00:20:56 Of these chestnuts.
00:20:58 All they would do is they would mark the ears of their hogs so they could tell whose hog was whose.
00:21:05 And then release them into the forest and then go hunt their.
00:21:07 Own hogs, essentially.
00:21:11 And the hogs would would get fat and huge like this one here. This, this is what pork used to look like. Not a bunch of running pigs in in these muddy factory farms, you'd have these massive, almost prehistoric looking.
00:21:27 Ah, hogs.
00:21:29 And some of these wild hogs still exist, but it's not like this.
00:21:33 These days.
00:21:36 Can't imagine why. Maybe we'll find out.
00:21:40 Locals, especially during the depression.
00:21:46 Would go and gather up these chestnuts from the forest and sell them.
00:21:51 In fact, they're they're people.
00:21:54 Who make their entire living.
00:21:58 Just gathering chestnuts.
00:22:02 Because of the the the money you can get for them in other places, other parts of the country.
00:22:09 In fact, there was a hamlet in Virginia.
00:22:14 Called Meadows of Dam that produced 60,000 lbs.
00:22:20 60,000 lbs of chestnuts.
00:22:24 Just from gathering them up.
00:22:27 And they would load them up onto.
00:22:30 Wagons and trains and steamboats and.
00:22:33 And ship them all across America so that we could have our chestnuts roasting over an open fire.
00:22:40 As Americans, apparently we like to do.
00:22:47 In fact, in some communities.
00:22:50 Chestnuts were as good as money.
00:22:54 If you had a bill at the.
00:22:56 The local general store.
00:22:58 You could come in and pay your bill in in chestnuts.
00:23:02 Because the guy that ran the general store would, you know, collect enough chestnuts to sell it off to a distributor and.
00:23:08 You know it would. You'd make your money. There were people who literally just lived out in the backwoods of Appalachia.
00:23:16 Had self-sustaining farms.
00:23:20 And the only money that they would have to to make every year was the money they made from going out.
00:23:25 Into the forest.
00:23:27 Gathering chestnuts.
00:23:31 In fact, some families.
00:23:33 Would take expeditions.
00:23:37 Out into the forest and justice collect chestnuts. They would load up a bunch of horses with.
00:23:43 Baskets and bags.
00:23:45 Go on a a camping trip, essentially.
00:23:48 Through the forest.
00:23:50 And collect chestnuts.
00:23:52 And that was their income for the year.
00:23:56 Years ago, Woodrow Whittaker tells me that it was considered by him a right of passage into young adulthood to be allowed to go with his older brothers and his dad to the Black Mountain in the fall of the year together chest and they leave home early one morning and they go up town and through discover Whole Gap and down the Pine Mountain.
00:24:17 On the other side.
00:24:18 And when they hit the common river bottoms, they'd turn left upstream, take them up to the mouth of Frank's Creek, where they had to turn right toward the Virginia line. And somewhere in those bottoms right there, they made camp early. The next morning, they'd get up, continued on their way up to the great chestnut.
00:24:38 Forest on the Black Mountain field, their wagon and.
00:24:41 Loaded their horses.
00:24:42 With chestnuts and make their way back down the mountain and down Frank St. to their campground and they'd stay there that night and the next morning they'd get up early again and make their way.
00:24:54 Back down the Cumberland up Pine Mountain.
00:24:56 Through the scuttle hole.
00:24:57 Back down this side to camp and eventually back to Rock house here with a winter supply of chestnuts.
00:25:08 So it's it's it's a big deal, right? Everyone's heard of all this everyone's heard of.
00:25:14 Loading up your horse and going out into the forest and collecting chestnuts.
00:25:19 In fact, I'm sure as as many people do remember, I'm sure you've also experienced this.
00:25:26 Where the schools would actually let the kids out for the day.
00:25:31 Just to collect chestnuts.
00:25:35 Right.
00:25:38 Because chestnuts.
00:25:40 It's a miracle food.
00:25:43 It's free food, it's it's free food falling from the sky.
00:25:49 It's a miracle wood.
00:25:52 Because of the tannic acid, the the strength of it, the longevity of it.
00:25:59 The fact that you can harvest it.
00:26:02 And it just grows back. In fact, it grows back about 50% faster than the the other hardwood trees.
00:26:12 So you don't have to worry about deforestation because in in a sense, you're actually making more chestnut trees every time you chop one down. If you do it right.
00:26:24 Right. I'm sure everyone remembers this as a child doing this sort of thing.
00:26:33 Oh, you don't.
00:26:37 You don't remember anything like this. You've never heard about any of this going on. You don't know it. You've never had chestnuts. You've never gone to the store and seen a bag of roasted chestnuts for sale.
00:26:54 I wonder why that is.
00:26:58 Let's let's shift gears here for a second.
00:27:01 It's going to seem this is going to seem like.
00:27:04 These two things aren't connected, but.
00:27:07 But they are.
00:27:13 This is Robert fortune.
00:27:17 I'm not sure that that's a real name.
00:27:21 That's what it says his name.
00:27:23 Is everywhere I look up Robert Fortune.
00:27:30 See Robert fortune.
00:27:33 He was really interested in plants. He was a botanist, you might say.
00:27:40 And he was an employee.
00:27:42 Of the East India Company.
00:27:47 Ah yes, the East India company.
00:27:52 The British empires Rothschild backed East India Company.
00:28:00 Now the East India Company.
00:28:03 Was upset because China had a monopoly.
00:28:09 On tea.
00:28:12 And the ruling class in the UK.
00:28:15 Was trying to get people to stop drinking whiskey, specifically the Irish.
00:28:22 And provide them with an alternative beverage.
00:28:27 Recreational beverage.
00:28:30 That would replace whiskey and cut back on factory accidents and some other things that they they didn't like as far as the the the side effects of alcohol.
00:28:43 And the beverage that they thought was a good replacement for whiskey was tea.
00:28:50 That might sound crazy to you. You're.
00:28:53 Probably full of.
00:28:55 Thousands of milligrams of caffeine all day, every day.
00:29:01 But you have to think about it this back in a time when people didn't have access to.
00:29:07 Well, caffeine really at all.
00:29:11 So taking caffeine.
00:29:13 In the Victorian era would be like.
00:29:16 In a in a sense, it's. It's kind of like taking cocaine. It was, it was like, wow, this is this makes me feel good. This makes me.
00:29:23 Feel good and.
00:29:25 And and sharp and excited and alert and awake.
00:29:31 So it was a drug. It was a drug to the.
00:29:34 The ruling class took a look at and they're like, you know, I don't see any downside to this.
00:29:41 You know, if we can get people to stop drinking whiskey.
00:29:44 And start drinking tea.
00:29:47 We'll actually instead of having these factory accidents that we're having because people are drunk on the job.
00:29:55 We'll start having these people, who are all amped up and ready to go. They're going to be alert, they're going to work harder and faster.
00:30:03 In fact, we can even set official times throughout the day.
00:30:09 That you're supposed to tee it up.
00:30:17 So you, you you get your dosage at the right time.
00:30:22 Have a whole population of people amped up.
00:30:25 On this caffeine stuff that we've just discovered from from China, but the problem is China has.
00:30:32 All the tea.
00:30:37 So the East India company.
00:30:42 Robert fortune.
00:30:45 And they paid him to go and sneak in the China.
00:30:50 And as ridiculous as this sounds.
00:30:53 This is actually what happened.
00:30:56 They disguised him as a Chinese man.
00:31:01 Now you have to remember the context of.
00:31:04 Of when this was going on and and.
00:31:08 And why? Why even though it seems ridiculous now that a white guy?
00:31:15 From England or from Scotland, I think is where he was originally from.
00:31:20 How he could just cut his hair?
00:31:23 And, you know, learn learn Mandarin.
00:31:28 And go to China.
00:31:31 And pass as a Chinese guy.
00:31:35 Well, you have to.
00:31:36 Remember, this is before the Internet.
00:31:39 This is before TV. This is before television. This is before mass transit. Most people in China didn't leave like the the five square miles around the place of their birth.
00:31:58 They didn't meet people from from out of town. There wasn't a lot of travel. It was very much a third world country.
00:32:07 Or even, you know, maybe even more primitive than that.
00:32:09 You could say.
00:32:13 And so all Robert Fortune had to do.
00:32:18 Was cut his hair.
00:32:20 To look like the Chinese from further E than where he went.
00:32:27 And wear the clothing that they wore.
00:32:30 And pay a couple assistants.
00:32:33 To go that were Chinese.
00:32:36 They would go along with this.
00:32:38 This masquerade.
00:32:41 And while people would look at him and think, well, he he looks funny. They would just think, well, I guess that's what Chinese people from like, you know, China's big and China's huge. It was just as big then as it is now.
00:32:55 And so you tell them, oh, no, I'm from 500 miles that way. They're like.
00:33:00 I guess that's what a Chinese people look like that are from 500 miles away. I've never met anyone from 500 miles away. What would I know?
00:33:10 And if he had weird a a weird accent and it would mispronounce Chinese words or whatever, he could chalk it up to the say, oh.
00:33:17 It's from. It's my local dialect.
00:33:21 This is how we speak 500 miles away.
00:33:29 And so with his assistance.
00:33:32 He went to different tea farms.
00:33:36 And this was all totally super illegal. If you were a Westerner visiting China.
00:33:42 The rule was you could only go one day's trip into the.
00:33:47 The heart of China from the port right. If you were to travel inland from the port, you were limited to one day's travel and then you had.
00:33:55 To go back.
00:33:57 So he went several days travel.
00:34:01 And masqueraded as this Chinese guy from far away and with the help of his assistants.
00:34:09 He tricked tea farmers.
00:34:13 Into allowing him to observe not just how they grew the tea.
00:34:21 But what kind of genetics they had for the T? Like the different kinds of plants?
00:34:27 For example, the British thought that black tea and green tea must come from 2 totally different plants.
00:34:36 When that's not true.
00:34:38 It's the black tea is processed. It's it's just green tea that's been, I think, fermented or something.
00:34:48 So he went in there. It was basically the an espionage mission.
00:34:55 He went in there to.
00:34:57 To steal their their IP.
00:35:01 I guess you could say.
00:35:04 Here's a quick video that that kind of.
00:35:07 In case you don't believe me.
00:35:11 I know it sounds crazy.
00:35:14 The net revenues from the China tea trade to the East India Company in 1800 exceeded those of its Indian Empire. Effectively East India Company had ruled over something like 1/4 of world's trade and 20% of the population of the planet. That's like Microsoft, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and about 20 others rolled into one.
00:35:33 I could hardly wait to communicate my findings. Medicinal teas are produced from tea trees of the same variety as other non medicinal teas and the quality of the tea depends upon the quality of the soil and climate where it is grown. If the seeds I had collected were grown successfully in our nurseries in the Himalayas, they would produce excellent teas.
00:35:52 The risks I had taken travelling here Incognito which had.
00:35:55 Been fully rewarded.
00:36:06 The East India Company authorised him to write a book of his travels in China.
00:36:12 Fortune produced a romanticised account, deleting carefully all the details that could compromise his secret activities by subtly demystifying the aura surrounding Chinese tea. Fortune also prepared British readers to the idea of drinking tea from.
00:36:31 Other places?
00:36:35 Specifically from India.
00:36:38 Where the East India Company had slave labor and infinite land.
00:36:44 So after after he smuggled live plants, these tea plants.
00:36:51 Out of India or I'm sorry out of China?
00:36:54 They brought them to India.
00:36:57 And tot the slaves out there, how to grow tea?
00:37:02 And immediately.
00:37:05 Essentially bankrupt China.
00:37:09 Like almost overnight.
00:37:12 To give you an idea.
00:37:14 The tea in India went from exports.
00:37:18 Of 183 tons.
00:37:22 To 35,000 tons.
00:37:25 In one year.
00:37:27 Now, part of that was the propaganda campaign, because a lot of people thought, well, tea has to come from China.
00:37:36 You know, and. And tea was consumed, that was Chinas gold. In fact, a lot of Chinese tea, even today, there's there's certain kinds of tea that pound for pound is worth more than gold.
00:37:49 So when you hear people say things like.
00:37:52 Oh, for all the tea in China.
00:37:54 That's what they're talking about. That was the.
00:37:57 The number one export by a long shot in China.
00:38:03 But the Rothschild backed East India company.
00:38:08 Wanted their own slaves making their tea so they could swallow up that part of the business too.
00:38:20 Care of drinking tea from other places Britain abruptly stopped buying tea from China.
00:38:30 And halted the opium trade.
00:38:34 The Chinese tea industry collapsed.
00:38:38 Imperial Chinese ruled then in severe decline, had no means by which to react and the nation's economy was devastated.
00:38:50 Which you could argue with later.
00:38:53 Have a huge impact when it came.
00:38:54 To the spread of communism.
00:38:58 But anyway.
00:39:04 The East India Company they wanted to spread the tea not just for the the reasons I talked about previously about getting people off of whiskey, making their workers more productive.
00:39:16 But the the way the British people drank tea was totally different from the way that Chinese.
00:39:22 People drink tea.
00:39:23 In fact, if you were to present a a cup of tea the way the British people drank it to a Chinese person, they wouldn't. They would not consider it tea tea to a Chinese person was just tea leaves and water like that was it.
00:39:39 But the British people would mix it with milk, but also sugar.
00:39:43 And because the East India Company was also getting.
00:39:47 Massive amounts of sugar for almost no overhead because of their slave labor in the Caribbean.
00:39:54 It gave them. It was a double whammy.
00:39:57 So they could sell the tea.
00:40:01 With, you know, from the their their slaves in India.
00:40:06 To the British people as well as sell the sugar from their slaves in the Caribbean.
00:40:14 To the British people.
00:40:18 And because they got the the upper class.
00:40:23 Hooked on tee.
00:40:25 Before it was available to the lower classes.
00:40:29 When this cheaper tea hit the market?
00:40:32 The lower classes were just ready to suck it up, ready to eat.
00:40:36 It all up.
00:40:40 So you might ask yourself, what is that? We were just talking about chestnuts, and you're talking about *******.
00:40:44 Tea. What's going on here?
00:40:48 Well, I'll tell you.
00:40:52 See the.
00:40:52 Problem was.
00:40:55 The American chestnut.
00:40:58 While it did provide.
00:41:00 All of the things.
00:41:03 That we discussed.
00:41:05 It was a superior wood.
00:41:07 It was free food, free money.
00:41:13 Billions of these these trees.
00:41:17 For for 10s of millions of years all across the continent.
00:41:21 Supporting not just the people but the the wildlife, the livestock.
00:41:29 That wasn't enough.
00:41:31 There wasn't enough.
00:41:34 And Robert fortune.
00:41:36 Who had made money?
00:41:39 Off of.
00:41:41 Importing Asian plants.
00:41:45 From China.
00:41:48 Namely T.
00:41:50 While he worked at the East India Company.
00:41:53 Got the idea that.
00:41:55 Well, as long as I'm here.
00:41:58 I'm going to get other plants.
00:42:02 In one of the plants.
00:42:05 That he got.
00:42:07 And later made available by mail order.
00:42:10 In America.
00:42:13 Was the Chinese chestnut.
00:42:16 And the Japanese chestnut.
00:42:22 Well, the problem is.
00:42:24 These chestnut trees.
00:42:27 While they did produce larger chestnuts.
00:42:31 They weren't as edible. They weren't as as flavorful and and uh, you know, the wood was a of a not as good of a quality. It didn't grow there as well, naturally.
00:42:48 But the ruling class wanted more money. They wanted to increase the output of these chestnuts.
00:42:57 Factory farmers. I guess you could say.
00:43:01 I guess it's.
00:43:02 Still a farm, if it's a tree farm.
00:43:03 Right orchard owners.
00:43:07 Start buying up these these fancy.
00:43:10 Asian chestnut trees.
00:43:16 And these Asian chestnut trees.
00:43:19 Came with a a hidden surprise.
00:43:24 They came with a fungus.
00:43:28 A fungus that the American chestnuts.
00:43:33 Had no defence against.
00:43:35 Does this sound familiar? It's kind of like the killer bee thing, or the varroa mite thing, rather.
00:43:44 So this wasn't just devastating.
00:43:47 Well, we'll get to that in a second.
00:43:50 It was first discovered this fungus was killing the chestnut trees.
00:43:56 At the I believe it was the Bronx Zoo.
00:44:01 Around 1909.
00:44:04 That's when it was first attacked, like most.
00:44:07 Problems of globalism it it began in New York.
00:44:12 Now The funny thing just to, since we're doing all these tangents anyway, right?
00:44:16 I was trying to find a picture of.
00:44:18 The Bronx Zoo, around the the right time period.
00:44:25 The first thing that popped up I'm I **** you not the first image result was.
00:44:30 This I looked at Bronx Zoo, I think like 1909 and this.
00:44:38 It's funnier than you think. So this pops up.
00:44:42 And I was like, oh, that's kind of funny. You know, you looked for a picture of the zoo and some black guy holding a monkey, right.
00:44:50 So then I was like, who's this guy?
00:44:54 Stamps oh kabanga. And he was legit a.
00:45:02 Uh, he was displayed at the zoo.
00:45:05 He was a pygmy.
00:45:07 On display.
00:45:10 At the Bronx Zoo, if you want to know how based your ancestors were.
00:45:21 They brought in a pygmy.
00:45:24 And and put him in in the zoo. And he lived at the zoo.
00:45:29 Like in a little, you know, like like the same kind of installation you'd have like a lion or whatever at.
00:45:36 And periodically throughout the day, he'd get out of his little Hut and shoot arrows for the crowd and stuff like that. And.
00:45:44 And yeah.
00:45:49 And people trying to make it sound like it's this horrible thing. I know, I know it kind.
00:45:53 Of is a little bit.
00:45:57 But it's it's also really funny. And they're like, oh, look how sad it is.
00:46:03 Look how sad he is. Look, he looks so.
00:46:06 Test. Well, I'll tell you, this is the the first picture that came up. It's not the only picture of him. And the reason why this is probably the pictures you'll you'll find of him is because this is what he looked.
00:46:16 Like when he smiled.
00:46:21 I'm not. I'm not kidding. I'm.
00:46:22 Not making this up, the zoo didn't do this.
00:46:27 This is how he came.
00:46:29 This is how he was out of the package.
00:46:32 This is this is this is what his tribe did.
00:46:37 So yeah, when he smiled, he looked like that.
00:46:47 I know it's horrible. It's.
00:46:48 Horrible, right? I shouldn't be laughing, but.
00:46:50 I'm come on. It's it's kind of funny.
00:46:55 And I was like.
00:46:56 What the ****? And I got distracted, you know, I was like, I have to do it when I'm doing this kind of research and I find something like that.
00:47:02 I'm like, what the ****?
00:47:04 Who's this? Oh, to bang a guy. What?
00:47:07 And then of course, I find out that the.
00:47:11 The guy behind putting him in the zoo.
00:47:14 Was our buddy Madison Grant, who we've talked about before.
00:47:18 Ohh. When we were going over I forget.
00:47:20 What series it was, I think it was the.
00:47:23 The Ken Burns Holocaust. The one.
00:47:26 Where he was showing you how how super racist Americans were before the Jews got here and fixed them. And they're reading all these passages, passages from him this as a refresher.
00:47:40 All you have to do is go to his Wikipedia like the immediately. This is what it says, it says Madison Grant was an American lawyer, zoologist, anthropologist and writer known for his work as a conservationist and eugenicist and advocate of scientific racism.
00:47:58 So he was based.
00:48:01 Grant is less noted for his far reaching achievements in conservation than his pseudo scientific advocacy of nordicism, a form of racism which views the Nordic race as superior. Let me come on, dude, if you're traveling the world and you're coming across this ****, I mean.
00:48:20 Can you blame the guy for not putting two and two together and being like, oh, I don't?
00:48:24 Know if we're the same.
00:48:26 I don't know if we're the.
00:48:27 Same, you know what? Let's put this guy.
00:48:30 In a zoo.
00:48:31 I think maybe we should put this guy in a zoo so people can.
00:48:34 See, so people can see that, uh, you know, I mean.
00:48:41 I mean, I'm, you know.
00:48:44 I'm a conservationist. I'm an anthropologist and a zoologist, and you know, based on the way we classify other animals, we're we're talking subspecies here.
00:48:57 I mean literally, I mean if.
00:48:59 If the difference between.
00:49:01 The you know the grey squirrel and the black squirrel. Whatever is just that they're, you know, and they're totally different subspecies. Even though they're they're they're squirrels.
00:49:11 I mean.
00:49:14 I mean, come on.
00:49:17 Put him in the zoo.
00:49:20 So yeah, anyway.
00:49:22 I just thought it.
00:49:26 I just thought it was funny.
00:49:28 Good old good old Madison grant with his his new exhibit, his pygmy exhibit at the The Bronx Zoo.
00:49:36 In the early 1900s, before most of the Jews from Eastern Europe.
00:49:41 Showed up and.
00:49:43 And put a stop to all.
00:49:45 This all this hate.
00:49:48 So anyway.
00:49:50 Back to the zoo.
00:49:53 They first discovered that this this fungus.
00:49:58 What it would happen? What would happen is it would create like a a scab.
00:50:02 At the base of the tree.
00:50:05 And eventually it would rot out the bottom of the tree.
00:50:09 Until it became unsafe, you'd have to cut it down because it was, you know, it would die anyway.
00:50:16 And it spread shockingly fast, shockingly fast.
00:50:22 Even though the the blight was first discovered, like I said, around 1909 it reached.
00:50:30 Almost immediately.
00:50:33 Pennsylvania started cutting down the in an effort to try.
00:50:36 To to stop the spread.
00:50:40 They they'd cut.
00:50:41 Down acres and acres and acres of chestnuts.
00:50:45 Hoping that that would create like a buffer zone.
00:50:49 And this fungus wouldn't spread, but unfortunately.
00:50:55 The disease kept spreading.
00:51:02 In fact, it spread at a rate of about 50 miles a year.
00:51:08 This is a an entire forest of chestnuts. That's just it. Looks like a forest fire. But it's not. That's.
00:51:15 That's chestnut trees that are dead because they were attacked by this fungus.
00:51:23 So trees that had lived in this area.
00:51:27 For 40 million years.
00:51:33 40 million years they they they produced food.
00:51:38 They produce shelter.
00:51:42 They produced what many people in Appalachia that was all they needed.
00:51:50 It was. They produced so much.
00:51:54 That, you know, granted, you'd be poor.
00:51:57 But you could go live in the forest.
00:52:00 And live off of not just eating just those chestnuts, but selling the the extras that you got to get everything else you would need.
00:52:17 That this spread so quickly, like I said, at a rate of about 50 miles in every direction at every year.
00:52:28 Entire forests were decimated.
00:52:32 In fact.
00:52:35 99.
00:52:37 .99 per cent.
00:52:40 Were killed.
00:52:44 Out of 4 billion chestnut trees.
00:52:51 There are fewer than 1000 left to day.
00:52:58 And all it took.
00:53:01 Was a little bit of globalism.
00:53:05 All it took.
00:53:07 Was rich people.
00:53:10 Trying to make a buck.
00:53:14 Rich people slightly dissatisfied.
00:53:18 With what they already had.
00:53:22 And so they imported things from outside the country to just try to squeeze a few more bucks out.
00:53:32 Without worrying about the consequences or quite frankly, caring because at the end of the day it wouldn't affect them.
00:53:46 Does that sound familiar to you?
00:53:56 They couldn't leave well enough alone. They had to destroy.
00:54:00 Again, 4 billion trees.
00:54:06 Because they wanted to make a few bucks.
00:54:15 4 billion trees and this hit at a time that was.
00:54:20 Right around the depression.
00:54:23 Right around when people in Appalachia who were not famous for being wealthy.
00:54:29 We're being hit hardest economically.
00:54:35 In fact, there was a huge migration out of Appalachia.
00:54:40 That was.
00:54:43 By the American chestnut blight.
00:54:47 Is what it's called.
00:55:02 Now when you walk around through this area.
00:55:05 Remember I mentioned how the wood.
00:55:08 It doesn't rot away really fast.
00:55:13 So even though it's been 100 years since, a lot of these trees have died.
00:55:19 You can still see.
00:55:21 I guess you could say they're their skeletal remains.
00:55:25 All but extinct the original version.
00:55:29 And I mountain these old woods all the time, and every once in a while I run into something like this. You could tell by just the way the wood formation is.
00:55:41 That's an old American chestnut tree.
00:55:44 And this is the snow.
00:55:47 But still it's 4 foot diameter.
00:55:51 It's been cut. I'd say it died.
00:55:57 I laid this on here just for escape.
00:56:02 His place was just.
00:56:04 Full of them at one time.
00:56:06 But they're all gone now.
00:56:11 Also gone is the passenger pigeon.
00:56:16 The passenger pigeon is extinct now.
00:56:22 And one of the reasons.
00:56:25 Is it fed primarily on?
00:56:28 The the chestnuts.
00:56:33 But it wasn't just the the passenger pigeon.
00:56:37 The populations, I mean, just imagine you have bears, deer, squirrels, birds, wild turkeys.
00:56:48 They are all.
00:56:50 Feeding on that, they're all depending on this regular.
00:56:57 Of chestnuts.
00:57:00 And almost overnight, it's gone.
00:57:05 So not only did the chestnut.
00:57:08 Tree get decimated. All of the wildlife was decimated.
00:57:24 And you got to remember that like.
00:57:26 I said earlier.
00:57:27 Two of the biggest money makers for these people.
00:57:32 It was either the chestnuts and the other wood, but also the hogs.
00:57:39 Now you couldn't afford to have hogs cause now you had to buy hog feed.
00:57:47 You couldn't just release your hogs into the forest and then go and harvest them from time to time.
00:57:54 Because there wasn't enough food to support them.
00:58:00 And again this happened. This is happening right at the time the depression's happening.
00:58:12 So it drove a lot of these people.
00:58:16 Out of those areas to go look for work.
00:58:20 Because they couldn't rely on.
00:58:23 While they couldn't survive, just like the wildlife, they couldn't survive.
00:58:32 All it takes.
00:58:36 Is rich people wanting to make a few extra dollars.
00:58:40 To completely destroy the lives.
00:58:45 Of of millions of people, billions of trees.
00:58:50 And untold amounts of wildlife.
00:58:56 And they never pay a price.
00:59:01 They say whoopsie.
00:59:06 Sorry about that.
00:59:12 How was I supposed to know?
00:59:20 There's no reparations for these people.
00:59:29 There's no foundations trying to go after.
00:59:32 The massive estates.
00:59:35 Of these generational wealth families that created this problem or other problems like it.
00:59:42 I mentioned the same thing about the the killer bees. They got released out of Brazil.
00:59:48 Killer bees that are responsible for for hundreds, if not more, especially considering all the the the spread of them in South America, Central America and in Mexico and in in areas that we don't have numbers for.
01:00:02 But probably thousands and thousands of deaths.
01:00:11 Whoopsie, sorry about that.
01:00:17 We just wanted to squeeze a little more productivity out of what we already had. Sorry, didn't mean to **** ** the entire world.
01:00:25 Oh well.
01:00:38 And the reason they never have to pay is no one ever makes them pay.
01:00:46 They're not going to just volunteer.
01:00:49 Oh wow, my bad.
01:00:55 I guess all of my generational wealth should now be forfeit and should go directly to trying to fix, I mean.
01:01:01 It won't be enough.
01:01:03 I'll never be able to undo this, but.
01:01:05 Because, you know, I believe in justice.
01:01:09 All of my generational wealth should go towards fixing this problem that I created this enormous ******* problem.
01:01:32 No one ever makes them pay at all.
01:01:36 Time keeps going.
01:01:38 People forget.
01:01:40 They feel powerless.
01:01:42 And the rich people, the generational wealth families, you want to know how they've never lost their money? It's funny because I remember bringing up the topic of generational wealth to to libertarians once. And they tried to give me this ******* ******** about like, oh, no. Actually, most people, they make their fortunes, their fortunes are gone after like, a a generation or two. And I'm like, no, that's called new money.
01:02:07 That's called new money.
01:02:13 That's called amateur hour. That's called someone got lucky.
01:02:17 Someone got lucky enough to perpetuate the myth?
01:02:24 That just anyone can get rich.
01:02:34 That's not real money.
01:02:37 That's not Rothschild money.
01:02:40 That's not East India company money.
01:02:48 That's not Google money.
01:02:58 It's certainly not Apple money.
01:03:10 They never have to pay a price.
01:03:14 That's why they have their money. They they make the rules.
01:03:20 And the the big irony is now.
01:03:24 The East India company.
01:03:26 Which created way more problems than just you know.
01:03:30 Chestnut or addictions of tea in in England?
01:03:35 I mean, obviously it's not what it used to be, but how's this for the ultimate irony and ultimate metaphor for what? What I'm talking about right now?
01:03:44 You obviously if you've read Indian history, you'd have heard about the British East India Company. The company had ruled India.
01:03:52 For almost about 200 years, it plundered India, looted its artefacts, traded slaves and, of course, laid the foundation of the British Raj in India.
01:04:03 Now, the reason why we are talking about the British East India Company is because in a very curious twist of fate, this British East India Company that had set up its empire in India is now being owned by an Indian.
01:04:22 That's right. And and India now owns.
01:04:26 The East India company.
01:04:29 Now, look, obviously it's not what it was, right?
01:04:36 They they, they mostly just have.
01:04:38 They acquired some land that the Old East.
01:04:41 The East India Company kind of dissolved, but there were still rights to some of the, I guess, land and documents and other IP that that, that they owned.
01:04:52 And purchased by an Indian.
01:05:08 You know, drives me crazy because you see this these same ruling class, people that have no, they you know that's the problem.
01:05:18 As they are not loyal to their people in the same way that you are loyal to your people.
01:05:26 They are loyal to their class.
01:05:34 When you hear Tucker Tucker Carlson, for example, and he just did this, this big interview with Jimmy Dore to, you know, to bring the right and left together and and, you know, oh, we all agree on the same things we we just need to have more conversations about stuff.
01:05:57 And he denied that. Ohh yeah, I'm I'm. I'm not like that. I don't. I don't want to be on a a private jet with Larry Fink.
01:06:06 He's boring.
01:06:08 I've never understood that. I don't wanna. I don't need the little merit badges that the ruling class gives you.
01:06:17 I'm like you, Jimmy Dore.
01:06:22 Sure. I was born with hundreds of millions of dollars.
01:06:28 But I'm just like you, I'm not. I'm not loyal to any.
01:06:31 Kind of class.
01:06:39 Or any kind of CIA that my.
01:06:43 My dad was in.
01:06:47 I'm glad to. I'm glad to see, by the way, that there's I have been, I have been telling everyone that Tucker was CIA for, like, ever. And I used to catch a lot of **** for that.
01:06:59 And I've noticed that some of the people that I used to get **** from are now pointing.
01:07:02 Out that. Hey, you know Tucker CIA.
01:07:14 He's the goalie.
01:07:17 He's the goalie to make sure you you feel like you got.
01:07:19 A fighting chance. But you never going to score.
01:07:27 He's the kind of person that like when I tweeted out the other day that.
01:07:31 That Jews hate white people. I knew that the inevitable one of the responses was going to be.
01:07:36 What is white?
01:07:39 What is white? You can't even define what white is.
01:07:43 And I've never understood why everyone thought that like this is some kind of troubling.
01:07:50 Because first of all.
01:07:51 You can you can graph it out.
01:07:56 You can you can.
01:07:57 You can get a a, a DNA test and find out exactly how white you are, right? So it's it's it shouldn't be an issue. But even if you didn't have that technology.
01:08:06 Right.
01:08:07 And they want to play this little game, right?
01:08:09 Oh, exactly what shade it and exactly what shade do you become white?
01:08:15 Is this person white or is this person white? Oh, is this person slightly too dark and now he's not white? Oh, this guy got a tan. I guess he's not white anymore. Like they think that this some kind of brilliant thing.
01:08:28 When everyone knows, everyone knows what it means, it's like almost like saying.
01:08:34 What? How hot is hot?
01:08:38 You can't go outside and tell me it's hot outside unless you give me a specific.
01:08:44 Temperature that hot is.
01:08:49 Right.
01:08:52 You have to like it. Is it? 85 is 85 hot.
01:08:58 Is 75 high is 95 hot.
01:09:03 Well, you can't use the word hot. You can't say something's hot.
01:09:08 Unless you can define with specificity.
01:09:12 7 decimal points out exactly how hot hot is.
01:09:19 It's ******* nonsense.
01:09:23 Someone tells me it's hot outside, I know.
01:09:25 What they mean?
01:09:27 I don't need a specific temperature.
01:09:35 And just like with the race thing, by the way.
01:09:40 You probably could find some way using AI and and and and body monitoring and everything else to find the exact point at which point your body decides oh it's too hot.
01:09:56 Now the humidity is ax and the temperature is this. Oh, it's officially hot now. There probably is a an exact temperature.
01:10:07 And they know that, just like they know that there is, there is an exact amount of of white that makes someone white. There is an exact amount of of certain genetics that makes someone look at someone else and.
01:10:19 Go. Oh, that guy's white.
01:10:24 But they also know it's so complex.
01:10:28 That you'll get lost in the woods trying to explain it.
01:10:39 You know these same people.
01:10:42 That will say stuff like like one one of the replies was, well, would you rather have a conservative Jew neighbor or a a white gay neighbor?
01:10:51 Wow, big brain.
01:10:56 Ah, I don't how to respond to that. Oh my God.
01:11:02 Again, let's use temperature. That's like saying, would you rather it be 90° outside or 120?
01:11:13 It's it's ********.
01:11:15 It's ******* ******** and they know they know it.
01:11:19 None of these people.
01:11:20 Have a hard time deciding who's black.
01:11:23 Or who's Asian?
01:11:27 It's somehow it's just white that that's the one that you can't figure out.
01:11:33 That's the one that's that's really super complicated.
01:11:38 And if you can figure it out like like Tucker Carlson, apparently.
01:11:41 He can he.
01:11:41 Can at least figure out that white exists.
01:11:47 He'll tell you it's irrelevant.
01:11:51 He'll tell you it's irrelevant, because that's not where his loyalties lie.
01:12:03 His loyalties are tied directly to economics.
01:12:10 Economics. And by the way.
01:12:13 Why do you think it's so hard to get conservative, especially older conservatives?
01:12:20 To understand race.
01:12:22 Beyond a bumper sticker or an MLK quote.
01:12:27 Or something like that.
01:12:29 And why do you think they obsess?
01:12:31 About economics.
01:12:37 Why do you think they can only make arguments about immigration if they can somehow frame it in some kind of economic argument?
01:12:49 Well, actually it's bad for the economy.
01:12:54 And that's what Tucker was doing on Jimmy Dore. And in fact, Jimmy Dore was saying why?
01:12:58 I'm starting to, you know.
01:13:00 I've kind of changed my mind about immigration. You know, even, you know, and I used to hear people all on the right say stuff like this, you know, even Bernie Sanders used to agree that, you know, immigration was bad because, you know, he was very pro union and he knew that it drove wages to and it's like, you know what? That's true.
01:13:20 Sure, that's true. That's one of the many things wrong with bringing in things from out of the country into our country.
01:13:34 That's true.
01:13:36 That, just like with the Asian chestnut, there was no echo.
01:13:40 It turns out.
01:13:42 There was no economic advantage to bringing in.
01:13:46 These Asian chestnuts.
01:13:54 But you think the people in Appalachia, that's why they're upset?
01:13:58 That the Asian chestnuts were brought into the country.
01:14:07 You think that the 4 billion trees that got wiped out in the wildlife that depended on them for survival? You think that? Oh, it turns out it wasn't an economic boon.
01:14:33 This is why you have that innate loyalty to your race for exactly this reason.
01:14:40 In the same way and I mentioned, I think last string, you know Jesus would teach him parables so that he would he could explain complicated ethical.
01:14:49 Problems to people that were, you know, not not the smartest people, primitive people, so they could understand. You could tell them a story and they could understand it, right?
01:15:00 Well, evolution is kind of doing the same thing.
01:15:08 Evolution is kind of doing the same thing when it says you know what, this guy right here.
01:15:16 He makes you nervous for a reason.
01:15:25 Your fight or flight is lighting up a little.
01:15:27 Bit for a reason here.
01:15:33 And Mother Nature doesn't have time to explain all.
01:15:35 The nitty gritty details.
01:15:39 So instead you just have this instinct.
01:15:52 You know, it's funny because a lot of these.
01:15:53 People that are so adverse.
01:15:58 So repulsed.
01:16:01 By looking at anything through the lens of race, right. They're the same people.
01:16:08 That will tell you.
01:16:11 You know, in in Mormon theology, as an example, the, the, the.
01:16:13 Phrase and they use is.
01:16:15 Always listen to that still small voice.
01:16:24 I don't know if other Protestants or Catholics use that kind of phrasing, but.
01:16:29 They would tell you always listen to that still small voice, that little voice in your head, or if you're it doesn't matter if you're religious or not. If you watch Pinocchio.
01:16:39 Jiminy ******* cricket.
01:16:42 Sang the song and always let your conscience be your guide.
01:16:54 Because what is your conscience? Other than an instinct?
01:17:01 It's an instinct telling you in the form of a feeling.
01:17:07 This is bad.
01:17:11 This is bad.
01:17:16 Mother Nature doesn't have time to explain all the details about why it's bad, but you've survived for millions of years so that you are simply because you listened, or at least past generations. Listen to that voice saying this is ******* bad.
01:17:40 And for generations in America, all we've had.
01:17:45 People telling us.
01:17:48 Oh, ignore that voice.
01:17:57 Ignore that voice, that man. That voice means nothing. When you see two guys kissing.
01:18:03 Or ******* in the Senate.
01:18:09 That discussed response that you have, that's no.
01:18:13 No, don't listen to that.
01:18:21 It's not always let your conscience be your guide now. It's always let the Jews or the ruling class, which is mostly Jew.
01:18:29 Be your guide.
01:18:34 And by the way, look, we have different hardware, we have different hardware.
01:18:41 One of the reasons why I think that a lot of this stuff gets introduced some of it I think is is.
01:18:48 Intentionally destructive. Destructive.
01:18:54 But I think not. Everyone's still small voice is saying the same things.
01:19:08 And why would it?
01:19:20 I've talked about the difference between Africanized bees and European bees and how they have different defense mechanisms and different behaviors, and that's a result of their environment being so wildly different.
01:19:37 And as our buddy Madison Grant would know.
01:19:42 That applies to people too.
01:19:47 We have different hardware, we have different firmware, we have a different BIOS running in the background, making it all work.
01:19:58 We have we're equipped with a still small voice that says maybe sharpening our teeth isn't such a good idea.
01:20:17 I mean, holy ****, how much does that have?
01:20:18 To hurt.
01:20:20 To do that.
01:20:26 That had to be excruciating.
01:20:28 To sharpen your ******* teeth like that.
01:20:32 With no anesthetic. At least I don't. Maybe the Pygmies have some kind of weird root. You can suck on or something like that that numbs your mouth, but holy ****.
01:20:50 They want you to ignore your instincts.
01:21:04 Now there's something interesting that happens when when an entire group is.
01:21:08 Is relatively monolithic.
01:21:14 The entire group to some extent there's some variation, right? There's there's diversity among these monolithic.
01:21:27 But generally speaking.
01:21:31 They're all experiencing the same instincts.
01:21:35 Because they all evolved in in similar environments.
01:21:40 And they had to listen to that. Still small voice to stay alive. And the ones who didn't were dead thousands of years ago.
01:21:59 So another reason why they want diversity.
01:22:03 People with other firmware, other bioses, other antivirus programs, or in the background.
01:22:12 Is you won't get consensus.
01:22:19 You won't be able to get any kind of consensus, remember?
01:22:23 Apparently in the in around 1900, the consensus was.
01:22:29 This guy belonged in a zoo.
01:22:34 In New York.
01:22:54 You know, this was the north, this was the Yankees. This wasn't like, oh, you know, some evil, evil Southerners that were.
01:23:00 Like, yeah, let's put that Negri Underwood zoo.
01:23:03 No, they were like.
01:23:08 He's like 4 feet tall, has sharp teeth like a *******.
01:23:13 Monster and his IQ is like 50.
01:23:18 I mean.
01:23:25 You know, I mean.
01:23:47 Now The funny thing is a lot of.
01:23:48 Look this right here.
01:23:51 Putting this guy in his you. Oh, it seems cruel. Oh, my God. No, actually.
01:23:57 Look a little bit. I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't. I would have put a guy. I would have just left him there. I would have.
01:24:02 Taken some photos and left him ******* there.
01:24:09 But maybe they thought it was important to see that no.
01:24:12 One would believe it.
01:24:13 Unless they saw it right.
01:24:17 But regardless, it served the purpose.
01:24:21 It served the purpose just like all the racist jokes.
01:24:24 That you see in.
01:24:25 Old movies, all the black face, all the other stuff.
01:24:30 It was ridiculing.
01:24:33 The outsider.
01:24:36 And I don't know if you noticed, I don't know if you saw last stream when I covered that movie.
01:24:41 Produced by the Obamas, but now that that that's been that's been turned around now, hasn't it? Now it's subtle right now. It's subtle little quips about how we can't trust white people and Oh yeah, I'm. I'm the white guy or I'm the black guy in the tuxedo and I'm on the board for the. Well, I think he was. It was the.
01:24:59 Bronx, right, wasn't it? Or maybe Brooklyn?
01:25:02 The the, The the Philharmonic.
01:25:06 On the board of the Philharmonic.
01:25:10 I run a big stock trading firm.
01:25:18 I own this House that only these, these white people. Can they have to rent from me, these peasants?
01:25:29 And look, a lot of it wasn't mean spirit. It's not like they they they were throwing ******* banana peels and **** like that at him. For for him to eat, he had like a.
01:25:36 Good life. It wasn't bad. I looked into it.
01:25:39 In fact, I think he ended up when they got him.
01:25:40 Out of this year, his life got worse.
01:25:43 Because they send them to somewhat like asylum, to try to teach them how to be a human, essentially.
01:25:49 And he ended up working. Ironically, I think it.
01:25:52 Was a.
01:25:53 It was either a count. It was like I'm not.
01:25:55 Kidding because this.
01:25:56 Is obviously post slavery, but I think he ended up working on in a cotton field.
01:26:03 I don't know I if it was it between hanging out with monkeys in a zoo all day and throwing chucking A spear for the the crowds and maybe shooting an arrow every once.
01:26:13 In a while.
01:26:14 Versus working in a ******* cotton field. I don't know. I'd. I'd live at the ******* zoo.
01:26:23 I'd live at the zoo.
01:26:35 Now the good news is.
01:26:39 What we're going to end on a.
01:26:41 Little bit of a white pill, a little bit.
01:26:51 Even though the American chestnut tree.
01:26:56 Has been decimated.
01:26:59 From 4 billion trees to 1 less than 1000.
01:27:09 I told you these trees can live up to 600 years or actually up to 800 years, but often.
01:27:15 To 600 years.
01:27:21 And things that take a long time to live take a long time to die.
01:27:31 And so, even though these trees, many of them were.
01:27:35 You know they they.
01:27:37 Essentially, you could say in a way they died.
01:27:40 70 years ago, you know, they fell over. They're just tree stumps now.
01:27:48 There's a lot of these trees.
01:27:52 Where every year.
01:27:55 Little Sprouts come out of the tree stump.
01:28:02 The root system is still intact.
01:28:08 And every year it keeps trying.
01:28:12 It sends up a shoot.
01:28:15 Grows these leaves. This is one right here on the screen.
01:28:22 Now the problem is, is that fungus is now, you know, pervasive.
01:28:29 So usually what happens is before that sprout can get old enough, mature enough to actually create chestnuts and.
01:28:36 You know, start getting big that fungus strikes.
01:28:42 And it kills the sprout.
01:28:45 And it tries again.
01:28:49 Some of these trees have been doing this since, like the 1930s.
01:28:52 Every year.
01:28:54 They shoot up a sprout. It grows for about five years or so.
01:29:01 Gets infected, falls over and dies. The roots underground are still alive.
01:29:09 Now, that won't happen forever.
01:29:15 Eventually that root system isn't going to be able to sustain itself because it's.
01:29:19 Not getting enough.
01:29:21 Energy from.
01:29:24 The photosynthesis and needs obviously way more leaves and.
01:29:28 More energy sent down there to sustain it.
01:29:38 But at least for now, you can say.
01:29:42 Even though it looks like it's over, it looks like it's dead. It's still trying.
01:29:55 And every once in a while they find one.
01:29:58 That has survived thee the blight.
01:30:04 They found one recently. This girl was walking her dog through the forest.
01:30:09 And her dog ran off and.
01:30:12 She stepped on something weird and looked down, and it was this big fuzzy.
01:30:19 She opened it up and it had chestnuts in it.
01:30:23 She looked around and she found a a an adult, a mature chestnut tree. Just chilling.
01:30:32 So every once in a while they they do find these things.
01:30:37 And if the if the tree stomps that are singing up, shoots are unable to.
01:30:42 Mature and and and make it and be disease resistant.
01:30:47 Well, nature, as we all learn from Jurassic Park, finds a way.
01:31:00 Those thousand or so that have lived.
01:31:03 They're not going to recover overnight.
01:31:06 It's going to take.
01:31:08 Not probably thousands of years. Honestly, too.
01:31:12 To have any kind of.
01:31:15 Noticeable recovery of that population, even if humans step in and try to.
01:31:21 Artificially step it up.
01:31:34 But inevitably.
01:31:38 Sooner or later.
01:31:40 There will be a chestnut tree forest again.
01:31:44 There will be through a.
01:31:47 Freak genetic coincidence.
01:31:51 A tree that's still standing that survived the blight.
01:32:00 And eventually one of its chestnuts will.
01:32:04 Germinate and sprout another tree.
01:32:10 And another and another.
01:32:11 And another again, this will probably take thousands.
01:32:13 Of years but.
01:32:18 Gone but not forgotten.
01:32:32 I don't know. It's kind of a.
01:32:33 White pill, right?
01:32:39 It's kind of a white pill.
01:32:42 There's guys in Canada, I guess, trying to.
01:32:47 I don't. I don't know if you'd call it engineering there, but they're trying.
01:32:49 To breed like they've got big chestnut.
01:32:53 Farms or they try to collect any chestnuts that are found. Any American chestnuts that are found?
01:32:59 And, you know, germinate the seeds and grow them on a farm. And they they purposely give them the the fungus and if they.
01:33:09 That they.
01:33:11 Die from it. Then you know they.
01:33:13 They chop it down and try another one and another one, and they're trying to find a strain that's resistant.
01:33:21 And you know, maybe they will in my experience.
01:33:25 Anytime that's almost like the same.
01:33:28 It's almost like you're making the same mistake.
01:33:35 I feel like nature does a better job of that.
01:33:45 I feel like you try you try to monkey around with nature in.
01:33:47 That way and you.
01:33:49 You might you might create some other kind of chestnut. That's that's worse or something, I don't know.
01:33:56 The chestnut that kills people.
01:33:59 Don't know what it would do.
01:34:08 There was another there was another video I saw.
01:34:12 Prior to going live.
01:34:14 Because YouTube YouTube is very aware that that I'm into bees, apparently because.
01:34:20 It tries to force feed me bee videos constantly, so anything has anything to do with bees ends up in my.
01:34:27 It might feed.
01:34:29 And one of the videos recently that popped up.
01:34:33 Was some guy.
01:34:37 Talking about, I believe it was Harvard.
01:34:41 Is trying to create fake bees like nano bees nanobot bees.
01:34:49 With this same excuse that all the bees are, you know, the bees are dying and the bee, the bee, the, the it's the colony collapse syndrome.
01:34:56 Or whatever and.
01:34:58 Again, I don't know why the scientists have to know better. They have to know. Actually, it's.
01:35:03 The same stories, the same stories, the chestnuts. It's you brought over Varroa mites into the European bee population and and they had no defense against it. And it's wiping them out. But the same thing will happen is with the chestnut trees, right. Eventually you leave them alone long enough and the the strong will survive and they'll be super bees.
01:35:25 They can handle varroa mites.
01:35:27 The the sad.
01:35:28 Part is in the interim, you're going to.
01:35:29 Have to there's going to be a lot of.
01:35:31 Death. There's gonna.
01:35:32 Be a lot of be death, you know.
01:35:34 Until that gets all worked out.
01:35:40 But I guess Harvard wanted to spend some of their billions of dollars that they've got in.
01:35:44 Their their endowments.
01:35:50 Towards uh.
01:35:52 Making nano bees.
01:35:54 Little nightmare robot bees.
01:35:59 Now it's funny because the guy that was in the the YouTube video was was was.
01:36:04 He was he was upset by it too, and he was like, oh, yeah, well, these could be used for terrorism and all this. I'm just like, no. Well, first of all, it was.
01:36:12 If you actually look at at where they are in the research, it's.
01:36:16 They haven't the literally there the the flight time they've achieved with their fake little nano bees is one second they've had one second of flight time. Like that's.
01:36:25 That's what they've achieved so far is one second of flight time. But be that as it may he then he then switches gears and goes, you know, I actually like the research that the University of Durham is doing. You see, they're making robotic bees too, but they're not trying to make robotic bees that will go around and and pollinate.
01:36:48 They're making robotic bees that'll little attend to the queen.
01:36:54 So they'll, they'll be these robotic bees that live inside of a hive and it. And I'm like that's worse man.
01:37:02 So now instead of like these robo bees that would be competing for resources from, you know, other pollinators, not just bees.
01:37:10 You're now going to be ******* with the genetics of bees because the the genetics of the bees are going. What you'll you'll create a a weird environment where the Queens that will succeed are Queens that are dependent on robot bees.
01:37:26 I mean, and what's that, which you don't even need in the 1st place. You're going to create an environment where the hives that have robot bees are the ones that survive.
01:37:36 And so you're going to make these Queens that will be 100% because you know, nature finds a way, it adjusts to the environment. Ohh, the environment now is that we have robots living in the hive attending to the Queen. Oh, then I guess we don't have to do that.
01:37:50 You know, in the second there's no robot, but it's like I can't understand why these ************* can't figure this **** out. Just leave it. Leave it the **** alone.
01:38:00 Leave it the **** alone. Is that like a white person? Thing is that am? Am I the only white person that has my that has this still small voice saying this?
01:38:15 I don't think so.
01:38:18 I think the reason why you had a big libertarian to.
01:38:22 Right wing pipeline kind of a thing going on is because the thing that was attractive to white people about libertarianism was the leave the leave **** the **** alone aspect of it.
01:38:46 The reason this happens?
01:38:51 The reason the ruling class keeps ******* with things that they should be leaving the **** alone is they don't have.
01:38:58 Evolutionary pressures.
01:39:06 They don't have evolutionary pressures.
01:39:11 They **** something up. They kill hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people.
01:39:17 What happens? Nothing.
01:39:24 In fact, you could even say that the environment in America especially is rewarding bad behavior.
01:39:38 At a certain point, people are going to have to ask themselves.
01:39:45 Is it time to provide?
01:39:48 A selection event.
01:39:51 To the ruling class.
01:39:53 Oh, for all for their.
01:39:54 Benefit of course.
01:40:06 Because as much as we want to leave it the **** alone, you're being ruled by people that want to stick ***** ****.
01:40:10 In anything that moves.
01:40:18 Now, if they never get punished for it, eventually I mean.
01:40:22 What's nothing? I guess nothing will happen, right?
01:40:25 They'll just keep getting.
01:40:26 Rewarded for it.
01:40:32 At a certain point, people have to ask themselves.
01:40:36 Perhaps we need to apply some evolutionary pressure.
01:40:41 To these people.
01:40:49 Again, for their own good.
01:40:53 Spare the rod, spoil the child as they say.
01:41:03 Maybe it's time to stop sparing the rod.
01:41:18 It's really frustrating. It's really frustrating.
01:41:29 The solution that used to be available to people I know I don't want to beat.
01:41:33 A dead horse.
01:41:39 Of justice leaving the society.
01:41:45 Going and forming your own, something that people did for eons.
01:41:51 How the spread of?
01:41:53 Humanity took place right? It was people that were like, yeah, **** this.
01:41:56 We're gonna.
01:41:57 We're gonna go over that mountain over there and see what's over there. You guys suck.
01:42:02 You can't do that anymore.
01:42:11 You can't do that anymore.
01:42:23 So we're going to have to adapt as well.
01:42:32 Because right now we're we're facing a problem that we don't have a natural defense for.
01:42:40 I come from a long line of pioneers, people that were like, ah, **** you guys.
01:42:43 We're out of here.
01:42:46 We don't need your ********.
01:42:49 We're going to cross the ocean and go to this this.
01:42:53 This new world, whatever it is.
01:42:59 And then after they got there, after a while, they're like, Oh yeah, **** this New England ********.
01:43:04 We're gonna go West.
01:43:08 Might kill some engines or whatever.
01:43:09 But where? **** it.
01:43:11 **** you guys. We're getting out of here.
01:43:16 Now, there's nowhere to go.
01:43:20 So that's off the table. You're gonna have to think of what? What's?
01:43:23 The other solution then?
01:43:41 Let's take a look at.
01:43:44 Stay a look at Hyper chats.
01:43:50 And rants. I'm on rumble too.
01:43:54 I'll do the rant one first. How about that? There's only one.
01:44:01 Renunciate says.
01:44:04 Classified kibble money. While I appreciate that.
01:44:10 So does a classified cat. What about? What about churro kibble?
01:44:15 Not that he's. Look, he's adapted. He's evolved. He's.
01:44:19 Got evolutionary pressures on him.
01:44:22 He can. If I stopped feeding him, he would survive. Like, no question, no question.
01:44:28 Wise you could find water that would be the tough one is funny finding water. I'm sure you'd find a way though.
01:44:37 Let's take a look at Odyssey.
01:44:44 Blue chord, blue chord.
01:44:55 Blue chord might have to catch the replay tomorrow just in case. Here you go. Thanks for letting us all know we aren't alone in seeing that the world the way that it really is.
01:45:05 You acknowledged what we have already seen and showed us all the things we missed along the way, more pleased Mr. Stack. Well, I I intend.
01:45:13 To do that, as long as.
01:45:14 I'm I'm humanly able to.
01:45:19 But it's like it's nice.
01:45:19 To go a little, you know off.
01:45:21 To I don't know if it's off topic.
01:45:24 Some people might think.
01:45:24 It's a little bizarre to have a chestnuts addition.
01:45:29 It just it.
01:45:30 Gets so boring talking about the same thing every night I try to. I try to not to just do that.
01:45:36 No, because I feel like it's boring for me. It's gotta be boring for.
01:45:40 Ah, but absolutely Zazi. Mataz Bot says thanks for all your hard work. What advice besides, don't go, would you give someone that is dead set on going to university? What can they avoid or take advantage of? What can they do to not get brain ****** and come out with an education, not an indoctrination?
01:45:59 Well, I think if you've got a a solid foundation, you're going to see through it all, it's just going to be painful. Yeah, if you're gonna. If you're going to do it. If I can't, you know, like.
01:46:10 Or if no one else can dissuade you from doing it, only do it if you're going to do it for a job or something that requires it, like I wouldn't have a problem. For example, if people going to law school.
01:46:20 Or medical school? Or studying finance or, you know, the kinds of things that.
01:46:28 University would actually still be good at, I would think, right? I look some of that stuff, some of that postmodernist, Jewish nonsense sense is.
01:46:38 It's it's fine, it's filtering its way into even the sciences, so I get it, but if there's something you can do career wise that's going to require something like that, it's always good to have.
01:46:52 People on our side that are. They're educated, but there's so many things you don't need an education like that for that. Unless you're going to do something like that. I I think it would be a mistake.
01:47:03 Brodie says here you go, my friend. By the way, our ghost cat and churro. The same cat. No. Well, no. Yeah. Yes.
01:47:12 Classify cat. Yeah Ghost Cat is is now churro. I named him because he hung around.
01:47:18 And in fact, he.
01:47:21 He follows me around.
01:47:23 Everywhere I go, so it's kind.
01:47:25 And it's kind of fun, but it's also kind of annoying. It's like.
01:47:29 Not, not not.
01:47:30 Not annoying. I don't like it. It's annoying because I like he's going. I I got a dangerous, you know, not for humans, but dangerous places for cats.
01:47:37 And so when he follows me out to where I know there's coyotes at night and I'm building, like, right now for as an example, I've got a bunch of I I'm building B boxes, getting ready for spring.
01:47:52 And it's it's.
01:47:54 Little ways down the, you know, into the desert. The where I've got all the wood and and all that. So my workshop, I guess, will temporary workshop, right.
01:48:02 And there's a lot of coyotes between here and, you know, in that little place. So it's like, not the safest place for him to. I don't like that he gets used to going back and forth thinking like, oh, this is.
01:48:17 This is part of our place too.
01:48:19 But uh yeah, he's the same cat. I don't know. He's tough. Maybe he. Maybe he'll survive. And if he doesn't look, it'll. I guess that's natural selection, right? Maybe there's some little churro that he. I'm. I'm convinced he's banging some other cat somewhere, so maybe maybe his jeans won't survive if he's not smart. But I feel like he's probably descended.
01:48:40 Other desert cats or I don't know. Maybe not. He's too nice to be that feral.
01:48:44 Swizz Pooh. Arianism runs on a continuum of child abuse. The better we are to our children, the more perfect a race we create. See how and Chinese and Jews treat their children. If we are reasonable with our kids, we will inevitably.
01:49:05 We will win inevitably and forever. I don't know. I don't think that's enough. I don't think it's enough to just have good to raise good people. In fact, that's kind of the answer I remember.
01:49:14 When I was first starting to really kind of wrap my head around the failure of the boomers a couple years back, I I didn't. I didn't like confront my mom, but I kind of.
01:49:24 Vented on the phone.
01:49:26 About just some of the ridiculous **** that they fell for and nothing like, you know, in a mean way. But I was.
01:49:32 Just kind of.
01:49:33 Like how you know, how come? How did? No, but. But he see this. And why did you guys support this? I don't understand.
01:49:40 And she made some comment about like, well, I just all I I I think I did a good job. I raised good kids. You're a good kid and whatever and.
01:49:49 And it's like, yeah.
01:49:52 I get it. I mean and you know, maybe that's this is a subject more for my dad.
01:49:59 But it's still like that's not enough.
01:50:02 Like that's, that's you. You should. That's the bare minimum. Right? It's like when you hear people talk about their parents who are horrible or whatever, right? They'll tell some not. And my parents weren't horrible. But, like, you know, you'll hear other people describe some horrible parenting event.
01:50:20 And then they'll follow it with like, well, it. They always made sure they had it that.
01:50:24 I had a roof over my head.
01:50:27 And it's like, so does a prison, you know? Like, that's that's not, that's not like.
01:50:33 Why are you?
01:50:34 Why did you bring that up? That's like the barest. That's like the lowest bar in the world that you didn't starve to death. Really. Like, that's that's the standard.
01:50:46 And I think that that is the standard for a lot of people.
01:50:50 I think that they're like, well, I provided. I made sure you lived. It's.
01:50:53 Like really that's?
01:50:54 Lived where, though lived and inherited? What exactly?
01:50:59 So I don't think it's enough. I think it's like I think it's what you can do is start a dynasty. But like nice kids that have no resources, don't. That doesn't do anybody any good, including the kids.
01:51:14 You need. You need to do that. That's, but that's the minimum you need to have. Then yeah, they need to.
01:51:18 Be good, nice people.
01:51:20 But they need to have access to.
01:51:23 At least a pathway to power, even if it's like a generational pathway. You know, even if it's like, you know, 3 generations down, we'll finally have some kind of.
01:51:35 With the understanding and realization that is going to be a generational project and need to imprint and impress upon your children that that it's going to be a generational project.
01:51:49 Otherwise it all falls apart the second you die. You got to make you got.
01:51:52 To make.
01:51:52 Sure that they don't. They don't just end up nice. You got to *******.
01:51:58 Really hammered into their heads that look, we're a ******* dynasty.
01:52:03 Everything I'm doing is for you and everything you do is for your ******* kids and so forth and so on.
01:52:13 John Skywalker, have you ever seen the the Israel lobby undocumented by Al Jazeera? Yeah. Have I think it's pretty telling as to why Americans so blindly support Israel and the Jews.
01:52:26 There was also a book written on the same of the same name.
01:52:29 Uh, yeah, I've read that.
01:52:31 You can find it easily in Odyssey with this documentary be stream worthy. I I I mean I've covered parts of it when it was New Years ago.
01:52:40 But yeah, it's worth watching if you haven't watched that yet.
01:52:45 Mark Esby reminder, even though home alone is a silly Christmas movie, Kevin at his lowest moment stops in a church and it isn't played for laughs or a joke. Also, you should repost out your review of second civil war you did a few years ago in light of the new movies.
01:53:04 Coming out.
01:53:05 A. Was that like a?
01:53:10 You mean the like the one from, like, five years ago?
01:53:14 I'd have to rewatch it. I don't remember the subject matter other than I thought it was like a more like a prepper video, but I'll. I'll maybe check that out.
01:53:23 Fashion, Chad.
01:53:26 Yeah, I'm not reading that fashion chat again.
01:53:30 We should use AI to create chestnut fast growth trees for terraforming exoplanets.
01:53:37 Well, I don't think you understand AI, if you.
01:53:39 Think that.
01:53:43 If you think that.
01:53:43 That's that's something we can.
01:53:44 Do Knight Nation review this stream should be called Devon's Big Nuts Christmas stream.
01:53:51 Oh, where's the womp? Where's the womp?
01:53:59 Why is it?
01:53:59 Repeating, make it stop.
01:54:03 And make sure it doesn't do that again.
01:54:05 There we go.
01:54:08 Uh 14881480 yeah, 88 says.
01:54:19 Merry Christmas, Devin. Well, Merry Christmas to you.
01:54:24 Fashion, Chad says happy holidays and the next stream. I better hear a mini Devon stack. You need a family now.
01:54:34 Well, not that's that's.
01:54:37 That's uh.
01:54:40 No comment, no comment. I'll put it that way.
01:54:45 Canine friend canine friend with the *** **** money.
01:54:50 Children today we'll be reading the.
01:54:52 Best Christmas ever. Our story begins with.
01:54:56 The magic *****.
01:55:07 Where did the soul men go?
01:55:20 The best Christmas ever.
01:55:26 Canine friend, appreciate the the big support. They're very generous. Good topic tonight. Important to spread the word that uncontrolled immigration, whether trees or animals or people, brings all kinds of unforeseen troubles. Merry Christmas to you, Devin. Exactly. It's something that.
01:55:45 And it's something that they keep doing because there's never any kind of selection event that punishes them for doing so.
01:55:55 And when there is?
01:55:56 It seems like it it's like so it's like, you know, the fall of the Roman Empire style, catastrophic. But even then, I think a lot.
01:56:03 Of those families.
01:56:05 Got away unscathed.
01:56:08 Appreciate that canine friend. Good.
01:56:12 Good. Where?
01:56:16 And as far as I can see.
01:56:25 Dave Bone, it was good seeing you at Vidcon this year. You were pretty handsome for a black man. Also top notch anime recommendations bro Sponge Bob Square Pants was one was one lit.
01:56:40 I can't wait to see my favorite based black man once again Maga.
01:56:45 Well, I I'm pretty sure like I said, the first time I was on Infowars, I'm almost positive.
01:56:52 Alex Jones thought I was black because he introduced me as Dave Ohn and we got Dave own stick.
01:56:58 And I was like, oh, what?
01:57:00 That's not even how you would spell that.
01:57:04 But I think I think he just like a.
01:57:06 Lot of people saw black pilled and thought that I was black.
01:57:09 But you know, whatever.
01:57:11 Uh, I've never been to Vidcon, but I'm assuming it's anime.
01:57:19 So it's evil and disgusting and how dare you?
01:57:22 Bob Bye Lee's swagger. Devon, is it true you went to Vidcon? If you made an announcement, I would have met up with you. I understand. If you want some privacy though. Can't be too sure about those Jews. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I don't go to Vidcon.
01:57:40 I don't even know what it is. Florida man. Greetings, Devin. Excellent work as always. My little baby ears have been catching all the replays. Random question. Regards to Carl's house. Did you find anything useful to the pill box in your homestead endeavors? In his hoard? Or was it all just old?
01:58:01 Horn tapes and filth. Also. Merry Christmas. It was shockingly mostly. OK, So what happened was, I think other people had already picked over it and took all the good stuff.
01:58:12 So it was mostly, I mean people had. So there were rumors in town.
01:58:19 I think we're fake, but apparently there was rumors in town that he had, like, secret gold stashed in the ******* ceiling. So some ******* went in there and like, smashed like the like ceiling up a little bit, like looking in the I don't know what they were doing.
01:58:34 But yeah, there there's not really. I mean there was.
01:58:39 It's still not all the way cleaned up. That's partially my fault. Well, I guess it's 100% my fault, but like it's.
01:58:46 Partially justified, I'll say.
01:58:49 But yeah, it's still, I mean there's still there's still like boxes of ******* **** over there. Yeah, there's, like, almost nothing that's worth anything over there at all. I think there was like a like a table.
01:59:00 That I use as like a a middle little workbench now and.
01:59:06 You know, just like crap like that. Like there's there was nothing, nothing cool there, if that's what you're asking there. There's like, this big metal desk, but it's been outside for years, probably. But it's like those big, like you see in, like, World War 2 movies, the big metal.
01:59:23 I don't know desks. It might be missing a drawer. I should probably get that out of the out of the out of the outside and.
01:59:31 Clean it up because those things are actually kind of expensive, but it's all. It's not like it's not like bad rust, it's like surface rust.
01:59:38 I could probably clean that up and.
01:59:41 Use that as.
01:59:41 A I don't know a work bench because it's metal.
01:59:47 But yeah, nothing good. Nothing good, unfortunately.
01:59:51 Uh. Let's see here.
01:59:55 Bellicose critique.
01:59:58 Somehow still blocked on telegram.
02:00:02 Well, I don't know how because I.
02:00:04 Let me look, maybe I'll block you.
02:00:05 I doubt it.
02:00:06 Unless that'd be that'd.
02:00:08 Be weird if you're if you're blocked again, then there's something crazy going on.
02:00:14 Uh settings. Privacy. Security block it says none.
02:00:20 Says none, so you shouldn't be blocked.
02:00:23 UM.
02:00:26 Let's see here.
02:00:28 The first lawsuit against Chitwood that I cited, defiant in, he's claiming qualified.
02:00:34 Buddy, because he has no idea. Facebook was a forum and no clue the Sheriff's Office was a public entity. Also, since I couldn't message you as you asked last stream, I wasn't able to give you logos revealed info, so I just had him shoot you a message. I think he sent it as Zach.
02:00:57 Brother man and has a smallish following, but as an amazing interviewer and just a solid dude. Yeah, like, I don't mind going on smaller things.
02:01:07 Tomorrow I'm gonna be on millennial.
02:01:10 I think around.
02:01:13 Well, like 7:00, I think it's 7:00 eastern.
02:01:17 Or I'm sorry, Pacific Time.
02:01:20 I'll, I'll tweet. I'll I'll tweet all the links out for that and stuff like that, but I don't. I don't mind doing some interviews, but like I said, it's probably be a little bit before I can get it scheduled with, you know, we got Christmas literally what next week.
02:01:35 Yeah, we got Christmas like Christmas Eve is a a week from today.
02:01:43 So it'd probably be.
02:01:44 It be after the New Year, but I I wouldn't mind.
02:01:46 Yeah, I don't mind doing that.
02:01:50 Jay Ray, 1981.
02:01:54 You got the sad one.
02:01:58 Play, play, play.
02:02:09 Rejected Amy. God bless. Merry Christmas, Devin. Well, I appreciate that.
02:02:15 Hammer authorizing hammer of Thorazine.
02:02:29 Apparently Otto Benga shot himself out of respondents.
02:02:33 In 1916, because World War One made it impossible for him to return home, subhuman or not, he wanted to be with his kind and couldn't. I can't say I blame him. I get it. Yeah, I mean, look.
02:02:46 It it's funny now. It's not something.
02:02:50 I would have done.
02:02:52 It's not something I wouldn't put him in a zoo.
02:02:55 But it is still kind of it's.
02:02:56 Still kind of funny now.
02:02:58 It's sad. It would have been sad then, but it's funny now. It's the it's the separation, you know, like the Titanic is funny. Now you know, the Lincoln assassination is kind of funny. Now, you know, in some ways.
02:03:12 Gays being thrown off buildings? That'll never stop being funny, Jenny.
02:03:18 And the should head elite are the same ones that claim to care so much about conservationism and the environment.
02:03:24 Yeah, they don't, they don't.
02:03:28 They don't at all or or see. Honestly, here's this is.
02:03:32 I don't think it's it's a different.
02:03:34 Gene or or whatever it is, I don't. I honestly don't think it's a different gene to want to. If you want to preserve your people, you are probably also the same kind of person who wants to preserve other species.
02:03:49 You know, I've I've yet to find someone who who is pro White and wants to preserve their people, who also wants to rape the environment. I don't think those people exist.
02:04:01 I don't think they exist because I think it's the same thing.
02:04:05 I think it's. It's literally the same thing. It's the same line of thinking.
02:04:12 And it's also the same line of thinking that if you're, you know, if you're willing to **** your people over for.
02:04:16 Money, of course. You're going to **** over the planet for money.
02:04:21 Now look at the same time I I I'm I'm also skeptical of some of the claims of, you know, these radicals, these environmentalist radicals.
02:04:31 And I know that to a certain extent, just by living on the planet, humans are going to have a an effect on the environment. That's inevitable and whatever. And all you can really do is make sure it's not a negative impact.
02:04:44 As much as possible.
02:04:47 But at the same time, it's like you know.
02:04:50 Sorry, we're the.
02:04:51 Uh, sorry, we're the the alpha.
02:04:55 The alpha, the.
02:04:57 Well, that's not the term I was gonna say alpha predator, but that's not what it is, right the.
02:05:03 Well, whatever. OK, you guys.
02:05:04 Don't you? You get it?
02:05:09 Jack Russell. Merry Christmas, Devin. I appreciate that. Merry Christmas to.
02:05:13 You, Dan. Bigfoot, the hi VI official story isn't even taught in school because it teaches kids, kids the truth that it spread amongst basically only gays and blacks and interracial relationships. Yeah.
02:05:29 That is true.
02:05:31 That is true. That's not what they told us at the time. Right there. They had all those after school specials with, you know, white little white Timmy who got a blood transfusion or whatever. And.
02:05:41 Like Megan, it seemed like that's how you were going to get AIDS.
02:05:47 John Connor, your story of the guys trying to save the US chestnut trees by exposing them to the fungus.
02:05:54 Is analogous to what is happening to society. Instead of trying to decimate the fungus, it's always reactionary from whites to go into survival mode as opposed to dealing with the root issue, IE the fungus. Well, I'll tell you what though, that the problem, just like with the fungus, is like how you.
02:06:11 Going to get rid of it.
02:06:12 It's a fungus.
02:06:14 And it it it it exists in other trees, it just doesn't kill them.
02:06:17 Right.
02:06:18 And the fungus is so pervasive, it's so everywhere. That's why that those all those tree Trump's that try to like, shoot up trees.
02:06:28 They still catch it and it kills them because it's still around. It's still living in other kinds of trees. It's just not killing them as quickly.
02:06:36 And whatever. But the sport, I mean it's fungus, I mean those spores get everywhere. You'd be surprised even out here. You would think that with like, the the Sun beating down on the sand, you know, basically sanitizing the ground all the time. You'd be surprised at how quickly mushrooms now they're probably.
02:06:56 Really bad for you. Mushrooms, but mushrooms will grow out of even the sand out here after a rain. Now they they last like a day and they're gone. But like, there's there's my celium underneath there growing around, even in the the the most horrible conditions for for fungi.
02:07:13 And the you know, those spores are indestructible. You know, like those spores. You'd be surprised at how durable and how long lasting spores are. As an example, there are people that have pulled out old beekeeping equipment from that haven't been used like, say, from like.
02:07:32 Since like the 1960s or whatever.
02:07:35 And they will still have the spores of American foul brood, which is like this fungus that attacks beehives. And they'll, you know, it's they're still viable. The only way to get rid of them is yet to burn the ******* hive hardware.
02:07:51 So it's.
02:07:53 It's hard to deal with with something like that. There's really not in in the same way. It's hard for us. It's not like we can wave a magic wand and get rid of diversity, right?
02:08:03 So you really kind of have to go into survival mode and try to think of a way to get around it because and what are you going to do and what what's the alternative?
02:08:14 You know are are you? Are you yourself going or anyone really going to somehow change the political climate so radically that you're able to? I mean, that's that's why the white ethno state is such a pipe dream.
02:08:28 It's just not going to happen.
02:08:30 If there was a place for us to go, that was uninhabited, that you would actually be able to go colonize or whatever, you know it could happen, but that that ship sailed along time ago.
02:08:41 And the same thing with this. It's kind of like it's, you know, the diversity in America is baked.
02:08:46 In it would take some kind of crazy event.
02:08:50 That really people like us and I'm not saying that to make us sound powerless or whatever. It's just a reality that we don't really have a whole lot of control over the kind of event that would need to take place. We can we can set things into motion. We can start those little pebbles going down the the mountainside that will eventually turn into an avalanche. But we're.
02:09:09 You know.
02:09:10 We're a long way from that Avalanche getting getting going.
02:09:15 OSA 567 says thanks for the stream and history lessons. Yeah, history of trees. I know it seems a little bit weird, but I.
02:09:23 I just, I don't know. I thought it was.
02:09:25 I was like.
02:09:26 Yeah. What, what? How come I never heard.
02:09:28 Of these *******.
02:09:29 These chestnuts? Well, that's why they killed them. Uh, whoever burned down Ross Lake House in Galloway earlier tonight to stop the continued plantation fair play.
02:09:42 Uh, we will win. Uh, good stream.
02:09:45 Is always what?
02:09:46 You talking about Ross Lake House in Galloway?
02:09:53 What is this? You've piqued my.
02:09:57 Interest a little bit.
02:10:08 OK.
02:10:08 It looks like it's an asylum seeker hotel in.
02:10:14 What is this in Ireland?
02:10:17 My look on Twitter.
02:10:31 Interesting. So uh.
02:10:36 What he's talking about?
02:10:42 So I can bring this up.
02:10:50 This is what he's talking about here.
02:11:01 Now this is actually from Tommy Robinson of all people, says Ross Lake House Hotel and County Galloway, Ireland, which was due to start taking unvetted migrant men next week.
02:11:14 Has mysteriously caught fire tonight.
02:11:24 Well, you know.
02:11:28 Sometimes accidents happen.
02:11:31 You never can be too careful.
02:11:34 You should always make sure that the wiring in your house is safe.
02:11:40 You don't want to leave candles burning.
02:11:43 You know you don't want to accidentally leave a stove on. You've got to be careful these days.
02:11:50 Cause accidents are always always lurking around the corner. You got to be careful.
02:11:57 And be safe.
02:12:00 That's a shame, isn't it? That's a that's a damn shame.
02:12:05 Antonio vain.
02:12:07 Says maybe your chestnut was introduced to the Aboriginal Jew. Make out. Make out this eco.
02:12:14 Terror. What is it?
02:12:16 Or check out this ecoterrorist.
02:12:18 What is this?
02:12:24 Is this worth looking at?
02:12:29 Aboriginal Jew combats persecution and genocide, is it long?
02:12:36 Yeah, I'll start it downloading.
02:12:42 That's long.
02:12:43 Not it shouldn't be that.
02:12:44 Long there's only like 40 megabytes.
02:12:47 At what? What the ****'* an Aboriginal Jew anyway?
02:12:53 Aboriginal Jew.
02:12:56 That sounds that sounds uh.
02:12:59 That sounds like the worst of two worlds, right?
02:13:05 That's that's not.
02:13:07 That's not exactly a a match made in heaven. What? What is this?
02:13:12 Ah, it's not in English, though. What? Or? There's subtitles not in English. What the **** am I looking at here?
02:13:20 Fine at passport control.
02:13:23 The passenger is just presenting himself at the primary line, his walk past a number of Australian citizens who are standing in line. They've processed that. He's pushing in the processing officer then said, look, I'm not gonna process you until you go to the back of the line, he then said because of his Aboriginal heritage, he's exempt and he doesn't.
02:13:37 Need to be processed the the behaviour this bloke has displayed throughout since his arrival at the airport.
02:13:43 Has been of concern. I need to monitor this examination just to make sure that if anything does happen, I'm on hand to respond.
02:13:50 I'm a I'm an Aboriginal Australian.
02:13:52 Ohh that's.
02:13:57 Yeah, I'm sure he is. I'm sure he is.
02:14:01 Yeah, well, you know.
02:14:04 It is I guess it.
02:14:05 Is the the worst of of both worlds, huh?
02:14:09 And I'm sure a super Aboriginal.
02:14:13 Antonio Vega uh. Maybe your chest not.
02:14:16 All right. That's all right.
02:14:18 Alright, let me oh, were you saying that? Was he trying to smuggle things down that he was right, was he? What was he smuggling in? There we go.
02:14:26 Leaves covered with disease, they could very well destroy our native trees.
02:14:32 So I've got something to say to you and.
02:14:33 That is.
02:14:35 As an aboriginal, you.
02:14:36 Must respect it by bringing in these items.
02:14:38 You're putting.
02:14:39 At risk.
02:14:39 The native it's got nothing to do with legislation, it's the risks involved, OK. And that's why the laws are in place. So you've got to understand that a person with a legal background should be aware that when they're signing a legal document.
02:14:40 Floor and corner of Australia.
02:14:53 It's very important now you with a legal background.
02:14:56 Should have read.
02:14:56 That document carefully and understood it.
02:14:57 I said it's a mistake, I said. I've accepted where I've made a mistake.
02:15:01 Little spare object.
02:15:02 Ohh God, I can't handle hear him talk, alright?
02:15:05 Yeah, very, very, very well could be.
02:15:09 All right. Let's see here.
02:15:12 Prime Prime to be a do you think that beekeeper movie is loosely based on you? I haven't seen it, but I doubt it cause isn't it about some guy that goes after white people?
02:15:25 To avenge his dead black neighbor. I mean, that's what I got from the I gleaned from the trailer. But I I haven't seen it.
02:15:32 I keep forgetting to.
02:15:35 I mean, it's out now I'm guessing, right?
02:15:37 We'll check it out.
02:15:39 Blue chord says.
02:15:42 $1.00 for ******** ******?
02:15:44 Do you have that much money in your bank at home?
02:15:49 I'd buy that for a dollar.
02:15:57 Yes, yes, the everyone pour out some of your forty. Well, I'm sure.
02:16:02 He's not dead.
02:16:03 But Steve, just, Steve, did you see the new movie literally called the American Society of Magical *******? Yeah, I saw that.
02:16:12 And it's exactly, I mean, I've covered the when they had the teaser trailer, I knew exactly the direction they were going. I thought there was like a .000001% chance. They could have gone another way with it and made fun of the fact that there was.
02:16:26 You know these black people and movies, but no. They leaned into it exactly as I had anticipated and.
02:16:34 It's an anti white you know.
02:16:36 Hate Fest is what?
02:16:37 It is. It's what I talked about earlier in the in the stream in last stream about all the. I mean, they're all they're doing, they're putting you in the zoo.
02:16:46 They're putting you in the zoo.
02:16:50 So that's that's what they're doing. They're putting you in the zoo.
02:16:54 Uh Bobby Lee Swagger or swagger? Dan? I just wanted to let you know that because of this stream, I'm going to be the next American folk hero. I will be like Johnny Appleseed, but for the chestnut tree. Well, you know, you gotta you gotta be. Uh, you gotta find genetics. That'll survive that fungus. You're just going to plant a bunch of saplings that live five years and then die.
02:17:16 But yeah, good luck.
02:17:18 It would be amazing to have all those plants back.
02:17:21 I mean, it's just it's shocking to me that that kind of.
02:17:25 Destruction. What happened? But it did.
02:17:29 Nick Chongas says the National Justice Party has utterly imploded in the past several days. What are your thoughts? Well, like, like I said, I I never really paid too much attention to it just because I thought it was a different strategy than what I think would be effective.
02:17:45 UM.
02:17:47 I I thought on a small scale that they they maybe did some good things and you know, IRL activism isn't always a bad thing and and it looked like they did some good in some instances.
02:17:59 I just uh.
02:18:01 You know, I just never thought that that was for me, so.
02:18:08 Yeah. I mean, it's a shame. It's not like it's not a good thing when you have things like.
02:18:13 That happen.
02:18:15 And if you're, you know, I'm sure there's people dancing on the grave or I. I don't know what all the details are. So maybe it's not really as bad as you.
02:18:21 Say or whatever, but or maybe it's worse, I don't know.
02:18:27 But I don't think it's helpful to.
02:18:29 Celebrate and look. Unless they, unless you can prove to me that.
02:18:34 They were like feds or, you know, or something like that. You know, I don't.
02:18:40 Well, that's too bad.
02:18:42 J Ray 1981, who owns Carla's property? Can you have it?
02:18:47 Well, yeah, I thought I made it clear. I do have it. So you know, that's why I do. That's why I was cleaning it up. It's, it's.
02:18:58 It's very post apocalyptic, but I I got it from.
02:19:05 I got it from the the guy who got it when Carl died.
02:19:10 And he was just trying to unload it and.
02:19:14 I was in the right place at the right time.
02:19:17 And was able to get it for a.
02:19:21 For you guys would be, let me just put this way I got I got the I got the pillbox for like less than a car, OK, like seriously. And I got Carla's place for like half of.
02:19:33 That so?
02:19:35 I just got lucky. I got lucky. I was in the right place, right time. Guy wanted to get rid of it. Didn't wanting to deal with it.
02:19:42 And he had only got it to take it off the hands of the people trying to deal with the aftermath of Carl. So yeah, it is now my place. And I that's why I gotta I gotta finish.
02:19:54 Clearing that all out.
02:19:58 Art Stanton. Very interesting. Interesting stream tonight, especially the connection between China losing their tea industry and communism, by the way, did you figure out what movie you'll be showing for the Christmas stream?
02:20:16 No, not yet. I don't know yet.
02:20:21 Yeah, I mean I I I I have a couple like because I don't think it necessarily has to be a bad one. It could be a good one or like it could. There's not many good ones, let's face it. But.
02:20:32 It doesn't have to be a I mean, we might just want to enjoy enjoy a good Christmas movie and hang out and.
02:20:39 And you know, not have to worry about about Jews for a minute.
02:20:48 Yeah, I'm almost afraid. What's that one? It's like, miracle on whatever 1st St. 21st, 31st. I don't you know, you guys know, I mean, the the Macy parade. One. I saw that as a as a really young kid.
02:21:01 And I'm afraid to watch it again. Like I'm terrified to watch it again because I.
02:21:08 I mean, look, I know it's it's obviously it's about Santa Claus. That's fine. I'm not anti Santa Claus.
02:21:14 But I'm like afraid that I'm gonna watch it, and it's gonna be it's gonna be bad in some way. I haven't even looked to see who made it yet.
02:21:24 Ohh, you know what? Let's do that right now. Let's just see who made it and that'll that'll maybe give us a clue.
02:21:36 I'm scared. 34th St. that's one.
02:21:41 Uh. Screenplay by and directed by George Seaton.
02:21:48 Alright, what? Who's that? Seaton. I don't know what kind of name that is.
02:21:53 Early life is Swedish.
02:21:57 And he's Catholic.
02:21:59 Uh, no. Hold on. Damn it. Damn it.
02:22:02 Damn it. Damn it. I was just about to be like ohh. It's good.
02:22:08 Ah, OK, I'm just going to read this.
02:22:13 Seton was born.
02:22:14 George Edward Steinhaus in South Bend IN of Swedish descent, the son of Olga and Charles Steinhaus, who was a chef and restaurant manager. He was baptized as Roman Catholic. He grew up in a Detroit Jewish neighborhood.
02:22:33 And described himself as a Shabbat goy.
02:22:38 He went on to learn Hebrew in an Orthodox Jewish yeshivah.
02:22:44 And was even bar Mitzvahed.
02:22:50 So that's uh?
02:22:55 There you go. That, that's.
02:22:56 I'm. I'm I'm I'm I'm not.
02:22:58 Going to I probably won't watch it ever again.
02:23:03 Yeah, I just can't. I just can't. Can't ******* guys make one freaking Christmas movie that doesn't suck.
02:23:15 Maratta says Devon. What state should I move to? Also great stream the night. I'm going to have to rewatch it because I got distracted arguing with.
02:23:24 Jews on ax.
02:23:26 Uh, that's all up to you. A lot of it has to do with, you know, what family.
02:23:31 You are, uh.
02:23:34 Or like where where's your where's your family exactly and.
02:23:39 You know, if that matters, I don't know if you. I think it's important to to live close to family if at all possible. I haven't done that. And in in the past then it's been.
02:23:51 It's it's a real hangup, especially if you're going to raise a family.
02:23:56 Yeah, it's, it's there's a lot of factors that play into that like what, what environment do you want to live in, you can do, you can do. There's very few states I wouldn't live in. Let me put it that way.
02:24:08 Like there's.
02:24:10 The big things I would look.
02:24:12 At gun laws.
02:24:14 Property tax.
02:24:17 Taxes just in general.
02:24:21 And and maybe just the.
02:24:24 The demographics, obviously, but you can even be in a relatively blue awful state and there's going to be rural rural pockets that aren't so bad. I mean, I would still, I wouldn't go to a a state.
02:24:39 Like that, I would. And they're all turning blue. But basically, but like, you know, I would try to at least get into a purple state.
02:24:47 So that's, that's all up to you. I don't. I don't really have. There's not like a. Oh, everyone moved to this state. I wish there was.
02:24:54 My fat little ******** toe.
02:25:03 You got the Super loud one.
02:25:05 Uh, just popping in because my Internet is too bad to watch the stream live. I'll catch the replay tomorrow while I go to the ohh. Well, you already got the loud one grocery store. Also the B box name thing. Are you going to count cumulative donos over the years? If so, I'd like to have ******** hive named for ******** ******.
02:25:24 OK.
02:25:26 I don't know. I might. I might make some exceptions. I don't even know if I'm gonna do that, but I'm still trying to figure how to do that. I'd like if I do, that I I kind of want to brand.
02:25:35 The name into the wood or something like that of the hive.
02:25:41 But yeah.
02:25:43 Then, Miranda says what Christmas movie are we going to watch this year? And I already answered that and I said not sure, not sure.
02:25:50 I'll definitely not miracle on 34th St. though, after what I just read.
02:25:55 And then we got one more on.
02:25:56 Rumble that pops in, it says.
02:25:58 OK, fine. Churro kibble. And that's from uh renunciate I think or re?
02:26:07 Ring. It looks like renunciate to me. I don't know.
02:26:11 All right, guys. Well, thanks for stopping by. I know it's a little bit of a short one tonight, but you know it's it's it's the, it's that time of year where where you need you should be spending more time with your family anyway.
02:26:28 And I'll be out looking. I'm. I'm going to be streaming live tomorrow on millennial, so keep an eye out for that.
02:26:36 You'll. I'm sure you will enjoy it every year. We always have.
02:26:42 One of the top, you know viewerships for that. So make sure you turn out in droves. Let's keep that. Keep that record going.
02:26:50 Other than that, I hope you guys have a good rest of your weekend. I'll see you tomorrow.
02:26:56 And I think 7:00 Pacific Time and I'll tweet out and telegram out and gab out the links.
02:27:03 In the mean time for Black Pilled.
02:27:08 I am of course.
02:27:10 Devin stag.
02:27:13 Right I want.
02:27:14 Care if their ancestry is Japanese, Mexican.
02:27:18 Libra anything they are, I want them to go.
02:27:24 I I believe in equality.
02:27:24 Look at that big period.
