iON 0:01
They’re painting a picture of there is no problem in Chernobyl, –

Gregg 0:05
Right. Of course.

iON 0:05
– especially in Russia.

Gregg 0:07
Of course.

iON 0:06
And we said that backwards. We said that backwards. They’re saying, "Well, this little thing y’all callin’ inflation, it ain’t gonna be no inflation in the United States of America. It’s a V shape. We’re gonna be full employment." Well, you at full employment right now! You know why? Ain’t nobody lookin’ for a job! You’re at 100% employment right now.

Gregg 0:09
Heh heh. Very clever way to say it. Very clever.

iON 0:30
Well, that’s

Gregg 0:32
Well, no. I get it.

iON 0:30
And so, and so it’s in reverse. So it won’t be 30 days till Biden says, "Well, you sons of bitches, yo ain’t doin’ no good! We got five million new illegal aliens from the Guada Nicaragua Raga Haga Nicka Gadalahara. Yeah. Nicka Drager Wager Hager. Then we gonna let them have the jobs cuz y’all ain’t willin’ to do the job. We’re gonna let them do the jobs. And y’all get your ironers, and we gonna have, they’re gonna, we gonna teach ’em how to work the leaf blowers, and we gonna show ’em how to plant flowers in Ginney Belle’s yard. We gonna retire your ass. We gonna get some good help in here. They know all about this, and they’ll work for a quarter a day."

Gregg 0:33
All right, so we can get, we can get some, we get some Chiquita in here to cook and clean and do the gardening, and we just sit back and do our my Mai Tais. I like that.

iON 1:27
Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. You get three and a half, and then give them three and a half a day. Three meals and half the bed.

Gregg 1:35
I can even sleep in the cabana. I like it. I like it.

iON 1:39
See? There you go. There you go. And they swim in the cement pond as long as they’re, as long as they’re scrubbing the, the

Gregg 1:47
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Move the algae around.

iON 1:48
The soffit.

Gregg 1:49
Yes, of course. Yes.

iON 1:50
Scrubbing the soffits. As long as they’re scrubbing the soffit, they can play in the cement pond.

Gregg 1:54
Keep, keep the tile clean. Yes. Okay. Very good. Okay. (overtalk) something like Southern Company or something like that’s always going to because the government would step in if people didn’t pick up their pace. That’s good. That’s good.

iON 2:10
Correct. And what’s out — they’ll call it some emergency. They’ll call it something — well, this is important. Like Biden’s tryin’ to pass the thing ’cause everybody’s at home and they’ve been home so long now and they can’t get out. They don’t go out of it. They basically have caused everybody to become an agoraphobic. So now they’re gonna pay people, women and minorities, to come and help people who now can’t get out of the house because they’ve been, they moved their office in front of the refrigerator. [laughs]

Gregg 2:36
Ha ha. What’s an agoraphobic? Hold it. What’s an agoraphobic, iON?

iON 2:40
Somebody, somebody who’s afraid to leave their house.

Gregg 2:43
Okay. Right. Very good.

iON 2:44
You’re afraid to leave your house. You get a fear of leaving your house. And that’s what they’re tryin’ to say: you’re gonna die. Go to that whore house, you gonna die! Go to that Winn-Dixie, you will die! That’s it. Go to church, you, you dead. You go to church, you dead. You’re through. It’s over. So that’s what they set up: that you can’t do anything. And then they say what you can do. Well, you do a little this, but not that! A little of that, but not this. You can have a weddin’, but you can’t dance! And people get crazy so no alcoholic beverages. It’s a weddin’, no, no toast. People will go butt fucking crazy ’cause they’re a little on the edge, so no, no, no, no, no. Now, we’ll have Xanax. We’ll have a Xanax bar. You can have all the Xanax, the Zannies. All the T-bars you want. You can have all that, that don’t hurt nothin’ ’cause that just puts you to sleep. So that’ll be good. As long as you got your mask on, that’ll be good. That’s good.

Gregg 3:37
Well look at companies like Hiram Walker and all those. I mean, they’re only going to prosper in this. I mean, there’s no way that any government’s gonna legislate. You can’t stop sellin’ and makin’ liquor. You got to keep the masses dumbed down! And I know people who

iON 3:53
You’ve got it now, you’ve got it now where if — you can go to call the restaurant and they’ll DoorDash whiskey sours to your door!

Gregg 4:01
Ooh, I like that.

iON 4:02
That’ll tell you, that’ll tell what, that’ll tell you how bad it is. You can call Pat O’Brien’s in, in the quarter in N’awlins, and they’ll deliver it to your door. And it will still be frozen when it gets there.

Gregg 4:14
Excellent. Now I know somebody who, I know someone who’s a big partaker of "marriage jiwani" and they –

iON 4:23
Yeah.

Gregg 4:23
– you know, purchased in Colorado and here and there and blalalala. But in Michigan, now Michigan, he said is puttin’ out high-octane dumb-your-ass-down. And it was interesting to see that the states that are the most fucked up and having the most contrast are allowing the most powerful weed to be sold. [laughs] I thought that was great.

iON 4:50
The THC levels are about 10 times.

Gregg 4:57
Yeah. Yeah, what he, what he was picking up was 35 to 40%. That’s like two toke, no joke, you’re on your ass. And that’s what different states are doing. Very good. That’s good. That’s a good trend to see. Okay. Well, that’s some good advice. Thank you. That was much to ponder here in the, in the regard of where to move money and that. That makes total — totally consistent what you said.

iON 5:26
But you’ve got, you have to, you have to be able to balance that. And you got to be able to be liquid. All right, let’s say you’re real smart, you’re just so smart. Just have to tell us how, you have to — we get nervous when people have to start tellin’ us how smart they are. ‘Cause if you’re that smart, you’d just be that smart, you wouldn’t have to tell nobody how smart you are. You know? Unlike Bob. Bob would tell you how pretty he is; no matter what, he’s gonna do that. But the problem is you have to be able to get in these, these margins and these whad’ya call them? These funds and these things where they’re laid out. And everything’s gonna fall. So when everything falls, all them things gonna fall. So then they do this and then they do that. Or you do this thing where you don’t make any money, but if you don’t, you don’t lose any money, blah, blah, blah. But that’s what people from around the world are doing now. They’re buying bonds because they’re not gonna make any money, but they trust the US dollar not gonna fold.

Gregg 6:21
They’re not gonna lose. Right, right.

iON 6:23
Correct. So that’s their rub. They’re just tryin’ to hold their own. Well, that’s a problem because now they’re taking those proceeds from that and buying more of those bonds. You don’t know. They used to show the, the Treasury auctions. They don’t even do it anymore. They don’t even show it ’cause they’re just making it all — and now they’re having to go after the, having to go after the digital currencies. They’re having to go after those. Those are taking a beating because they’re trying to say they’re illegal because they don’t get any tax revenue off of them. See, it’s a, it’s a play to play; it’s a play to play.

Gregg 6:58
Well, you’ve always said that Bitcoin’s gonna go to zero. Now,

iON 7:02
That’s correct. That’s correct. But Ethereum, Ethereum didn’t, didn’t, didn’t triangulate out of that. Doggy coin or what they call it? Dogecoin. Yeah, we didn’t say that was gonna go to zero.

Gregg 7:16
All right. So really, Bitcoin’s just gonna, Bitcoin is just gonna be the whipping boy for them to try to control this type of uncontrollable currency in their, in their world.

iON 7:28
Yeah. See, China doesn’t want it because they’re losing. They’re losing. See, everybody’s so scared of what China’s gonna do, but you got everybody in China doin’ what they do. So now somebody’s making Fentanyl in China and they charged it in Bitcoin. It ain’t no, they ain’t done nothin’. They’re not doing anything out of bounds. There’s no, there’s no, there’s nothing that affects the Chinese currency. They’re not turning that Bitcoin into yuans. You see?

Gregg 7:54
Mm-hmm.

iON 7:57
They don’t send it to the US, they keep track, straight track of all that. No, no, no, no, no. They send that shit to Panama. We gave away the Panama Canal. They gave it to Seneca Panama. And then they get it all tanked up and get it liquified in the gasoline and drive it across the border.

Gregg 8:15
Mm-hmm.

iON 8:15
Isn’t that a hootenanny. And apparently the gasoline just makes it better. [iON and Gregg chuckle] I guess. Don’t know.

Gregg 8:27
What’s a little, what’s a little soline in your system.

iON 8:30
Yeah. And then, and you know that a problem, you know that a problem when they ruint the price of heroin. Heroin, people don’t even do heroin. It just don’t cost nothin’. Pack of cigarettes, if you taking a pack, they’re ten dollars a pack, but heroin, you can get a pound for $1.98 at the 7-11.

Gregg 8:51
Because fentanyl’s replaced heroin.

iON 8:55
Correct. That’s correct. And a match tip will kill ya.

Gregg 8:59
Yes, of course. Yeah. The head of a match. Of course.

iON 9:04
Mm-hmm. So, I guess, I guess that’s a little stouter than Bruton Scotch snuff isn’t it?

Gregg 9:08
[chuckles] You can waste a half a ball of that and still drive home.

Gregg 9:13
[laughs] There you go. There you go. There you go.

Gregg 9:19
Good.

iON 9:19
So now what happens is, it’s gonna, it’s gonna ebb and flow. Now then, now in the center of the continued Lockdown Bobrule, that has to get reinforced. That’s what’s being worked out right now. So, better get your shit right now. Better get right with God ’cause in the time of trouble is when you need sustaining, you see.

Gregg 9:40
Yes. Yes.

iON 9:42
That’s how that goes. And you can’t believe, you can’t trust the ground. Don’t trust the ground. iON, I want

Gregg 9:48
Don’t trust the ground. Don’t trust the ground.

iON 9:52
Do not trust the ground. You don’t know that’s the ground. You don’t know. If the bottom of them steps, you get to the bottom of them stairs at your house and you’re on the last step and realize you, you realize that after you take that one last step you was two up from the bottom, you will have a, you’d be like Humpty Dumpty.

Gregg 10:11
Yes. Ah, very good. Now, is Bob gonna be granting any clemency in Lockdown Bobrule? Is there a waiting list that Bob is — has been pulling together for some of his favorites or any of those who may deem his, his mercy? Is he doing anything like that?

iON 10:36
Well, we’ll tell you what the Queen of England said about that. She was askin’ for the very same thing. And they told the Queen of England today that she’ll have to ask Bob.

Gregg 10:50
Okay. All right.

iON 10:52
So, clemency comes — oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. They’re havin’ a little trouble in the European Union. So Brexit may have been the only thing that saved Her Majesty.

Gregg 11:10
Was Brexit.

iON 11:11
Brexism[?] very smart move. Was Brexit ’cause they got out of it because they tanked it.

Gregg 11:18
Right. It was the crack in the dike and they

iON 11:23
They stepped out. And they stepped out ’cause now a tuppin, the tuppins will start counting for euros.

Gregg 11:32
Right. They’re lookin’ at what it’s costing to stay inside that system. Well, somebody had to do it, so, very good. Very good of breaking out.

iON 11:41
Well, the box told her. It was in the, it was in the red box, so whacha gonna do?

Gregg 11:45
Of course.

iON 11:49
Okay, so now there’s shifts coming along; things are happening. They’re starting to notice that they’re startin’ to, they’re startin’ to — hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. When the, when, when, when, when they start commenting from the Senate floor and the House floor on Tucker Carlson, something’s terribly wrong.

Gregg 12:10
[laughs] Ah, very good. That’s right. When they start doom and gloom.

iON 12:17
As a bird flies, as a bird flies, who in the flippin’ flap fuck would care what Tucker Carlson with that straight face with his eyebrows bent down and says, "Well, people like to sleep with kids, don’t they?" Or some’um stupid statement that he says that somebody posted to say, "Oh, well. Yes, of course. You know, pedophilia’s certainly all right." Well, that’s, that’s, that’s what the new left, that’s the left, left condition that you’re tryin’ to present here.

Gregg 12:42
Demonize them. Demonize them

iON 12:45
But then, but then, but then our President, Trump, he gets up there and says, "Fox is fucked up. Fox is fucked because they led into this backside to move on. See? They tryin’ to move on and leave

Gregg 13:01
Hold it, hold it, hold it. Move on from what? Move on

iON 13:03
Trump.

Gregg 13:04
Oh, okay. Very good. Move on from Trump. Right. So Tucker Carlson has taken the lead. He’s the highest watched guy or whatever, and they’re leaving Trump behind.

iON 13:17
Now Hannity, Hannity’s real good but he’s — once he gets to — well, he’s like a coon dog. He’s fine but he’s not better.

Gregg 13:21
Well, once he gets a snootful, it’s like, yeah,

iON 13:24
Then he, then he does the same thing. He’s still talking about Uranium One and Hillary rotten Clinton. And, you know, once he starts on somethin’, it never ends. He’s gonna hit it, and hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it. He spent three years on Richard Jewell. Do you remember that?

Gregg 13:41
No, I don’t remember Richard Jewell. The name’s familiar, but I

iON 13:44
From the Olympics, the ’96 Olympics, the pipe bomber who didn’t do it?

Gregg 13:49
Oh, that guy. Of course. I watched the, yeah, I watched the documentary. Right.

iON 13:53
For three years! Every day for three hours that’s all he talked about was Richard Jewell. Richard Jewell. Richard Jewell. Richard Jewell. It’s unbelievable.

Gregg 14:02
Yeah.

iON 14:02
So, and he was right, but you had to listen to it for three hours. You wanted to go kill Richard Jewell yourself from this like (overtalk) … kill his mama beside. It was like, come on.

Gregg 14:11
[laughs] Propaganda. That’s right.

iON 14:12
Put us, put us out of his misery. Put us out of his misery.

Gregg 14:17
[laughs] Very well said. Yes, I

iON 14:21
So, that’s what’s wrong with him. That’s what’s wrong with him. But then on the other side, on the other side, it is funny though, ’cause now people are startin’ to call Laura Ingram — because of Bob they’re startin’ to, they’re startin’ to say, make reference to her as Laura Ingraham. [laughs]

Gregg 14:41
Very good.

iON 14:41
They’ve been listenin’ to Bob. Instead of Laura Ingram, they’re startin’ to call her Laura Ingraham.

Gregg 14:47
But the Tucker is still serving the purpose. He’s, he’s attacking the left. You know, he’s making — I don’t know, pullin’ shit out of his ass that the Democrats are gonna

iON 15:00
That’s all good, but what Trump, but what Trump is saying, what Trump is noting is that he’s, he’s, he’s attacking the left but he’s not very right.

Gregg 15:11
Oh.

iON 15:12
You see? He’s pernicious. Up or down,

Gregg 15:16
But that’s his persona. That’s his persona. Right?

iON 15:19
Well, but that, that you know, but okay, okay, okay. Go pick up chicks at a gay bar and see how that works out for you, big’un. [Gregg laughs] Try that out for a little while and just see how that works out. You may find yourself unpleasantly surprised, just sayin’. ‘Cause that persona then becomes what you’re known as. Hey, Rachel Maddow, we know what she’s gonna say. You don’t have to worry about it. And Joy Reid, oh my god, the Reid. Whenever that Joy, boy, toy

Gregg 15:24
Predictable. Totally predictable.

iON 15:52
But, you know what Scarborough and Maninski, Maneski, whatever her damn — Brzezinski whatever damn name is. You know what she’s gonna say, you see. There’s no question there. But then nobody’s watchin’ ’em. Nobody’s watching That’s the problem; nobody’s watchin’ ’em. So, they have to make references so that something of something will pick it up. Meanwhile you got half-clothed, not even very attractive women spending the world on the Ticky Tok and got everybody. They got more followers than watching CNN today.

Gregg 16:31
Right.

iON 16:31
And they most certainly are needing some better foundational garments.

Gregg 16:39
[laughs] Just sayin’, a little nip and tuck wouldn’t, wouldn’t hurt either. So, I’m reading that the world money guys are dumping a ton of cash into the market. Just, just fake money getting thrown into the market. Now is it — was it the — not the World Bank or the IMF, I’m not sure who it was, but there was a big deal about them just throwing money in to get things going. But if that’s all fake money, then they’re just paying themselves. Is that correct?

iON 17:16
It’s a spaghetti supper. They’re buying their own ticket.

Gregg 17:19
Okay. Same dinner. Same dinner. Got it. Okay, very good. Okay.

iON 17:22
They’re tryin’ to eat themselves out of debt but that’s the problem is that those longs are good till somebody calls a short.

Gregg 17:25
Of course.

iON 17:28
See, they put the Musk — putting — you remember when they used to have Musk? The cologne Musk?

Gregg 17:40
Oh, god, yes!

iON 17:40
When they had Musk. Same thing like sandalwood. Musk.

Gregg 17:42
Oh, my god, yes.

iON 17:44
Yeah. So when you got pussy, Musk, sittin’ there goin’, "Well I think I’m gonna start taking Dogecoin, doggy coin. I’m gonna start taking it and I’m gonna send you to the moon. I’m gonna send you to Mars with the dog coin. We’re gonna — the doggy coin I’m gonna take it…" And the thing goes through the roof; it goes through the top. Well, he’s ridin’ that up and he shortin’ on the other side. Maybe all he’s gotta do is say, "Well, I changed my mind. We’re gonna see how it goes. It’s gonna be a little while before we do this. Bam. Then all of a sudden, it’s like rip and tie, rip and tie, rip and tie. So that’s, that’s — that works good till it don’t.

Gregg 18:16
Mmm. Mmm. Musk to consider. Very good. That’s a – whoof. Very good, iON.

iON 18:24
You keep gobblin’ your tab at the bar until either they go out of business [Gregg laughs] or you gotta pay.

Gregg 18:33
So, 50/50 either way. Very good.

iON 18:36
Look here. What are they dumping it into? What are they dumping it into? Delta Airlines? You wanna own a bunch of Delta Airlines? Oh, wow, –

Gregg 18:44
Fuck, no.

iON 18:44
– why don’t you buy, why don’t you buy Air Canada. Oh, that’s a real good airline. Buy that one.

Gregg 18:48
That’s a great idea.

iON 18:50
Let’s buy enough, thump enough money we can get that started back up again. Yeah, we’ll get that going. After a little while, you’re kinda going mmmm, that dog won’t hunt.

Gregg 18:59
No.

iON 19:00
People aren’t buying it, you see. They’re not

Gregg 19:01
Yeah. They can no longer keep the illusion up. Very good. No, we had some Canadians, my cousin, come down. They’ve been in lockdown for 18 months from Alberta. And boy, it was just incredible to experience people who have listened to a completely different meme, completely different line of propaganda. And, wow, the contrast was absolutely amazing. To just experience them here, you know, I mean, obviously, you know they were walking around

iON 19:38
And you notice they were, they were walkin’ around lookin’ at, lookin’ at everybody else and lookin’ around at how people handlin’ — take ’em — I hope you took ’em to the Walmart. That would’ve been an experience. Yes, take ’em to that Walmart. That would lighten their light up.

Gregg 19:51
Well, yeah, yeah. They went to, they went to "Tarjay" and a few other places.

iON 19:55
Oh, yeah.

Gregg 19:57
So they did, they did get that experience. And obviously they were letting loose and, and talking a mile a minute, having absolutely no interest in what you have to say.

iON 20:09
Of course.

Gregg 20:10
They just wanted to talk. Over each other.

iON 20:14
Sounded like — so, did Duffy, so Duffy come to see you then?

Gregg 20:20
Yeah, we’ll call it Duffy for now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

iON 20:24
[chuckles] It sounds like Greg duffel bag. That sounds like Greg duffel bag.

Gregg 20:27
Oh, god, no. [iON laughs] I’d just shoot that sucker in the face. No. No. Sorry. There is no equal for duffel bag. But anyway, it’s just

iON 20:40
But yeah. You did give quite a pictorial there; it was very, pretty, pretty valiant. It was valiantly laid. It was pretty good. So, what y’all witnessing now presently in this little partition of the RIP is the lamest show on earth.

Gregg 20:58
Lamest show on earth. Okay. Okay, well, does the lamest show on earth even require a response? It’s just to be left

iON 21:10
Oh, no! Just enjoy it. Just enjoy. Enjoy them pictures. Enjoy them pictures of Biden in the White House in rooms that no picture you’ve ever seen in the White House match. Have you ever seen a half-gang plug cover?

Gregg 21:29
A half game plug cover?

iON 21:33
Gang. G-a-n-g. Gang plug cover. Oh, let’s just say it another way. In all your times as watching the White House or going to the White House, used to you could visit. And you go through the spaces in the thing. Did you ever see plugs in the White House? Ever see one plug in the White House?

Gregg 21:53
Okay. Now these plugs

iON 21:56
Now you see, now you see Biden with these big curtains that go to the ceiling in this vast room, and the curtains are completely — no lights coming through the windows at all. Zero.

Gregg 22:09
Right. Right.

iON 22:09
It’s like the curtains are against the wall. And then you got these plugs all the way up and down the wall. Like, nothing plugged into them, but all these plugins just sittin’ there. It’s like what is this room gonna have? Is the room gonna have the amplifiers? We gonna plug in some’um here? You don’t have that. They don’t put plugs like that on the, on the board. What are the plugs for?

Gregg 22:29
Got it. Plugs. Electrical plugs. Very good. Okay.

iON 22:32
Yeah. And you’re lookin’ at that and you go, this ain’t that. And there’s no room off the Green Room that walks into this vast room. I mean, it’s like okay, not a stick of furniture in it. Where did all the furniture go? It’s not just an empty room. I mean, it’s like a ballroom! Maybe Trump did pat down and build a new big room, maybe he did put some’um so four or five hundred people could fit in there real easy. There’s not that many rooms. And he keeps changing them around. And then the best one was the one where he had a big old fireplace behind him. Same ugly carpet, this little Karastan-lookin’ rug, and then him standin’ in front of that about halfway and there’s a fireplace. And on one side, there’s a "winder," and on the other side there’s a wall. Other than the Roosevelt Room where the fireplace is in a corner, nowhere in the White House is there a window on one side of a fireplace and nothing on the other.

Gregg 22:56
Right. Exactly. I know exactly what you’re talking about. Yes, I’ve seen it.

iON 23:36
There’s not one. There’s not one. There’s not one.

Gregg 23:39
Wow.

iON 23:37
And if he was lookin’ at it that’s so — they don’t even show the Oval Office no more. Have you noticed that? ‘Cause they got them, they got them, ah, Chevy vans through the "winders." Chevy vans like a junkyard. Chevy vans through the window of the Oval Office. That’s the rose garden! You can’t see cars parked outside of the Oval Office!

iON 23:39
Yes. Yes. Well, how long does this rouse go on for before it collapses on itself?

iON 24:04
It’s gonna either, either nobody’s watching, –

Gregg 24:08
Right.

iON 24:08
– either nobody’s watching or nobody’s talking about it. Or nobody cares.

Gregg 24:13
Nobody’s talking about it. Yeah, a little bit of each.

iON 24:17
So, so you gotta watch out. You got to watch out. When, when, when the "fine representative Sheila Jackson Lee" starts getting quiet, you better get nervous. When Sheila Jackson Lee shuts up — she’s from Houston — when Sheila Jackson Lee gets quiet, you better run.

Gregg 24:39
Right.

iON 24:40
She ALWAYS got somethin’ to say. She, she’s a racist against herself. [laughs]

Gregg 24:44
[chuckles] I even hate, I even hate what I do. There you go.

iON 24:49
Yeah, isn’t that correct? She the one, she the one who said she’s the one that Daddy King says, Daddy King was, was a, was a hardline racist. Daddy King. Martin Luther King, Jr’s daddy was a racist is what she said.

Gregg 25:03
Sure. Sure.

iON 25:03
It’s all right. Now, Bernice, now, Bernice can, she’d bitch slap you into next Tuesday now. Now the rest of ’em, they ain’t worth nothing, you know. But Bernice, she ain’t no joke, now. So that’s kinda fun. Okay, we’ve, we’ve jumped off the edge of the Ravinia. Did that solve the inflation? Do you know what to expect and do you know what to do? That’s the only question we have now.

Gregg 25:33
Well, I think your advice on where to pack free cash for people who are in that position, it’s consistent what you said onto itself. You know, if you’re investing in a commodity that literally everybody wants to keep the lights on, and if they can’t keep the lights on somebody is gonna step in and help them keep their lights on.

iON 25:55
Don’t buy pussy. Don’t buy pussy. [Gregg chuckles] You’re safe on that. Normally, that’s a good bet.

Gregg 26:00
Fine.

iON 26:00
Hey, Vegas, Vegas used to make good money on that now. Just sayin’. What about Vegas?

Gregg 26:06
That’s right. That’s right.

iON 26:07
What about Vegas? What about Vegas? How are they makin’ it? This is worse, this is, this is, this is, this is Steve Wynn’s worst nightmare. He’s got the world! And everybody’s got all the money in the world. And all the money that he wins ain’t worth nothing.

Gregg 26:20
Right. Wow, that’s interesting. So they take in cash,

iON 26:26
That’s inflationary. That’s an inflationary, that’s an inflationary — it makes its own inflation.

Gregg 26:32
Right.

iON 26:32
They sit at the bar, they don’t cost them nothin’ for you to eat them and charge you $49 or $79 or $29 or if you’ll spend $100, bet — if you’ll gamble $100,000, they’ll give it to you for free! You see.

Gregg 26:44
Yeah. Well now, so yes, by the time that people spend their gambling money and they get it back to the holding, it’s lost X percentage. Okay. Yes, that’s

iON 26:55
That’s exactly right. It’s the old — that’s what happened. The same thing happened at MGM. See, that’s what happened at MGM. And that was in the good times. (indistinct/overtalk)

Gregg 27:05
Now, entertainment stocks. There’s still money around, people are still — want to be entertained. So, an example, Disney World. You know, when people got nothin’ to do and they’re goin’ fuckin’ stir crazy, they’re gonna spend their money on entertainment. Is that a correct statement in the, in the context of where we’re moving to?

iON 27:27
Sure. Sure, no problem. And we’re saying great — no problem. No problem. But when Disney gets the money, how does that benefit ’em? Somebody’s gotta come to work. You think they’re having a hiring problem in Disney World these days?

Gregg 27:43
Got it. Got it. You’re goin’ back to the same thing. Okay. No, there’s a, there’s a pattern here. I see what you’re saying.

iON 27:49
It’s a double, it’s Lockdown Bobrule. You can’t get out of it. But if you, but if you read the letter to Prince Charles, you’d know this. I mean, it would all be really clear, laid out. It’s very clear of how this is gonna go. Because this thing that has fallen is self-fulfilling. It’s prophetic. He didn’t know it was prophetic. Don’t let him tell you all that shit. He had no clue. But it’s prophetic. He didn’t know it. He made it up and then now he’s upset because it’s coming true anyway. [laughs] He’s been reading "Finnegans Wake" for 40 years to find out that that’s what he’s gotta read. Stunned and confused. It’s very fun. We like it very much. But he’s a pretty quick thinker. He’ll get it off his feet or off his chest or get it off some’um, or he’ll fuck it up and y’all won’t make it neither way. Huh. Yeah, what’s a Natty Light among friends? Right?

Gregg 28:43
Well, I see the pattern you’ve been pushing here. Very good. Obviously, industry that relies heavily on labor is not a good place.

iON 28:55
What industry, what industry besides ticky tok is not labor intensive? Which one?

Gregg 29:02
Well, when you

iON 29:03
Wanna make whiskey? Wanna make whiskey? Somebody’s got to run the still.

Gregg 29:09
Sure, but when you come to utilities and providing a service to people such as electricity or water, or whatever it is, those are going to rely more on maintenance people being there rather than having as Disney World, tens of 1000s of people holding your hand and showing you where to go to kiss Mickey Mouse’s ass. There’s a difference.

iON 29:37
Right. You have to be real careful. You have to be real careful because even in the municipalities, you still got the Tech Body that has the ability to hack and undo everything. There’s been more hacks than you could ever know. They’re not tellin’ it.

Gregg 29:51
Of course not.

iON 29:51
Real big hacks. These money dumpers, that these money dumpers they’ve been hacked and they not sayin’ nothin’. ‘Cause they don’t got — the money don’t matter. What is the money care? It’s not doing any good.

Gregg 29:58
Mmm. So they’re all just paying

iON 30:09
Charlie Munger’s (overtalk). Charlie Munger’s fucked up. He don’t know what to do. His hedge doesn’t work. He’s (overtalk)

Gregg 30:17
Well, if you pay off a blackmailer — but if you pay off a blackmailer, you continue to pay the blackmailer. There’s no

iON 30:25
Well, who cares– but, but hey, hey, hey. Who cares as long as you still, as long as you still get your receipts? Who cares?

Gregg 30:34
So, they’re doing it for the tax deduction. They’re doing it for the tax deduction.

iON 30:38
Or, or the marker. Or the marker. Or the marker. You know, "Yes, I’ll pay your, I’ll pay your ransom but I’ll either — you’re gonna get a 1099." [laughs]

Gregg 30:47
[laughs] That’s funny. Very good, iON.

iON 30:51
"I’m just tellin’ you right now, motherfucker. You’re gonna get a 1099. [Gregg laughs] So, hey, they don’t call it blockchain for nothin’, baby. I’ll can tell you how this is gonna go now. Let’s do it the easy — you don’t — oh wait. Go ahead and charge us double, we’ll pay double. It’s okay."

Gregg 31:05
We don’t care. It’s fifty cents on the dollar.

iON 31:06
"We fixin’ to have a huge, we fixin’ to have a huge bill. We’ll have a party and we’ll just pay it off. If you need to do it again (inaudible) one more time." So you’re gonna have these anomalous conditions and things that happen. But from a service industry that can’t be upheld, when the cable goes it’s trouble. You go, Wait a minute, iON. Cable!? Nobody’s got cable! Who’s got cable? Then we go, Oh, yeah. Tell us again what that router you have is hooked to.

iON 31:28
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, of course.

iON 31:36
What is that router? Is there a router? Is that what you call it, a router? You know the thing that makes the refrigerator cold?

Gregg 31:47
No, no. You got it right. Yes, the router. Now, iON, if you — let’s shift to a satellite phones.

iON 31:54
Okay.

Gregg 31:55
Now, if there’s non natural EMP

iON 32:01
They have to be pinged. They have to be pinged.

Gregg 32:04
You still

iON 32:05
The satellite phones have to be pinged. They have to be pinged ’cause you can’t just pick up — if the satellite isn’t locked in one fixed position. Remember Galaxy 5 when you used to have the rotary and you could do "nen nen nen nen nen nen nen"? You could hook up to Galaxy 5 and then all sudden, that satellite failed ’cause it had nothin’ to ping to. (overtalk/indistinct)

Gregg 32:26
Now what about what about Inmarsat? You know, supposedly 60 cans circling up there preferred by the military. Isn’t that a direct line to something that would be out of the influence of an EMF?

iON 32:41
Depends. Depends. The transistor in your, in your cell phone, if you’re in I’m sure it’ll work great.

Gregg 32:49
Okay. So you’re talking about really

iON 32:51
But blast it, blast it with enough gamma radiation that it melts all the gold inside it, –

Gregg 32:57
Yep. Yep.

iON 32:58
– and it’s a little different conversation. But don’t worry. All that gold they shot up into space, it’s coming back. There’s not gonna be one drop of gold removed from this planet. All the gold that ever was is already. You understand the Earth isn’t making any more gold. Remember that?

Gregg 33:18
Right. Okay.

iON 33:20
Well, you say right, but most people go, "No, iON, they digging it up. They get, they mining for gold right now."

Gregg 33:26
Yes, but it’s, yes, it’s still here. Yes, I get it. It’s still here.

iON 33:29
It’s already made. It’s already made. The earth diamonds, hell, you can make diamonds in your basement now. They ruint the damn diamond business.

Gregg 33:39
Right.

iON 33:40
Ruint it! But now you can get a perfect diamond to test every way you can test as perfect.

Gregg 33:47
Rubies, too.

iON 33:48
Cost two dollars a carat.

Gregg 33:49
Yeah, rubies also.

iON 33:50
The Chatham, the Chatham, the Chatham rubies and emeralds are the most valuable ’cause they’re the hardest to do ’cause they’re like nine. They have a mohs hardness scale of nine. So they’re the hardest to really do. And then when they do, they’re super perfect. And it’s very very very, very challenging to get a perfect emerald. It’s because they always have inclusions in the corundum. Always. Very shocked when you get a

Gregg 34:13
So just quickly back. There isn’t a satellite phone that is immune to unnatural EMFs.

iON 34:22
Unless you get one that has a Dixie cup and a really long string. That’ll work.

Gregg 34:28
[laughs] iON, full of gags tonight. Hey, in the old days, it was –

iON 34:36
That one will work. That one will work.

Gregg 34:37
– a soup can. No, it was a soup can, not a Dixie cup. Remember you used to have to

iON 34:42
Well now, that’s fancy. You gettin’ fancy now. Now you quit preaching and goin’ into politicking now. [Gregg laughs] Lord, soup can for Pete’s — who in the world’s gonna take a — if you gonna play kick the can, who in the world’s gonna give up a good kick the can to make a goddamn telephone? For Pete’s sake.

Gregg 35:00
Only the technologically advanced would do that.

iON 35:03
Well, I’m swell. Okay, that just became a party of two there didn’t it? Yeah, sure. So what Silicon Valley gonna do with this? There’s the rub. What is the F-A-C-E crowd gonna do? (whispering) What are they gonna do?

Gregg 35:18
Well, they’re gonna sit around with their thumb up their ass and go, "How did we get here? This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife." Talking Heads 75. Yeah, exactly.

iON 35:32
Get me some more babies so I can look pretty.

Gregg 35:35
Oh! Geez. Okay. Wonderful. Whoo. Good one, iON. Thank you for all that. Lots to consider. Lovely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
