0:00

He

0:01

took me back to East

0:05

Atlanta,

0:08

nah, nah,

0:10

nah But

0:22

my heart is in Havana, there's

0:25

something about his manners, Havana,

0:27

ooh, nah He came to find me and I

0:29

knew it, my clear luck He

0:32

told me there are so many like I

0:34

had, but I'm missing one

0:37

I can't find it, I'm lost in the middle of nowhere

0:39

I'm lost in the middle of nowhere I'm

0:43

lost in the middle of nowhere

0:46

I'm lost in the middle of nowhere

0:49

I just thought it would be a nice little

0:51

summery tune

0:54

Although it doesn't sound very

0:57

happy on some level It sounds like

1:00

she wants to be in Havana But

1:04

she's stuck in East Atlanta And

1:06

the rest of it's in Spanish, so I don't know I

1:10

had three semesters of Spanish and

1:12

I forgot everything Because

1:16

I think when you learn a foreign language, right, you

1:18

have to keep speaking it And

1:21

I'm fortunate enough to live in a country where, I don't

1:23

know, probably 20% of

1:26

the country can speak Spanish, or does speak

1:28

Spanish at this point But not me, probably not a bad idea

1:30

to go back I

1:34

remember it being actually fairly easy to

1:36

learn Spanish

1:41

But

1:42

like most things I learned in school,

1:47

I soon forgot them

1:51

I know we're still playing the song, you know, because

1:53

I like it Let's

1:56

turn it up here, this is the... now

1:58

it goes into Spanish What

2:01

is it about?

2:24

I know, you know,

2:27

now I sound like my parents, right? You

2:30

kids have no attention span. I mean,

2:34

this thing about the lack of attention span, this has

2:36

been going on for...

2:38

Parents have probably always said this, right?

2:40

It's probably been hundreds of years. People

2:43

complaining about their attention span. You

2:46

know, John Adams is probably yelling

2:49

at John Quincy Adams. You have no

2:51

attention span. Have

2:53

you completely forgotten? This

2:56

is America. But,

2:59

you know, now I just, I think it's... I

3:01

don't think I'm saying anything that none of us don't already agree

3:03

with. And it's not a knock on

3:05

any age group or demographic. I

3:08

think there's something about we

3:10

truly do not want

3:12

to remember

3:14

things that happened like yesterday,

3:18

you know, last

3:20

week. I mean, right? I mean,

3:22

think about this, like they're... Okay,

3:24

here's... I'll test you guys. You're

3:27

listening to me right now. And

3:31

I'm recording this and it's basically been,

3:33

I don't know, maybe 10 days. This

3:37

is during the 4th of July week was really

3:39

just over a week ago, right? It'll be,

3:42

I guess, well, okay, the 4th of July is almost two weeks ago. But

3:45

still, do

3:46

you remember the fact that the

3:50

four hottest days

3:53

ever recorded and not just ever

3:55

recorded since we started, you know, keeping

3:58

track of temperatures within that?

3:59

weather service so that was probably in the

4:02

1880s. Not just the four hottest

4:05

days ever since the

4:08

1880s but scientists there's

4:10

a way now they can kind of track don't

4:14

ask me to explain this either all

4:16

right just go with it because they

4:19

kept saying this on the days that was happening

4:21

on the it's like July 3rd July 4th

4:24

July 5th

4:26

this is the hottest day

4:29

in a hundred thousand years and

4:33

okay you know I'm gonna accept that they

4:35

know that there is a way to know

4:38

it you know just like the rings in a tree can tell

4:40

us how old the tree is there is something

4:42

you know that's

4:46

I don't know something that's been left behind

4:48

for a hundred thousand years there's a melted

4:50

ice cream cone from a hundred thousand years ago

4:52

that somehow got fossilized

4:54

and now they can tell how friggin

4:57

hot it was

4:58

you know on that day I don't know what it is but

5:00

trust me on this

5:02

when you hear on the news it's

5:05

the hottest day not just the hottest

5:07

day in July but the hottest day

5:09

like ever

5:11

what are we to do with that I mean

5:14

really what are we to do with that

5:17

and they're not just talking about in the US we're

5:19

talking about the whole damn

5:21

planet okay now how now you

5:24

you know some of you heard this right a

5:26

week or two ago now

5:28

let me ask you how many times have you thought about it in

5:31

the last couple weeks in

5:34

the last couple days it's across your

5:36

mind did you remember that it happened yeah you remember

5:38

now because I'm saying it right away

5:40

we just want to forget about it that's what it is I

5:42

think that we have developed in the human

5:45

brain some kind of

5:48

tripwire

5:50

some fail safe button that

5:54

says okay I don't think about this please

5:56

I got too much going on no stop

5:59

that's it And so we

6:01

don't think about it. Somehow

6:04

it stays in the brain so that you

6:06

can remember it when somebody like me brings it

6:08

up on a podcast. But you don't want to remember

6:11

you're listening to me right now. You're sitting on a beach right

6:13

now, listening to this where you're in the park or

6:15

you're out on your porch or, you

6:17

know, it's summer, you

6:19

know, it's sort of a beautiful day. You

6:21

know, I know it's 129 degrees somewhere

6:23

in Arizona right now.

6:26

Awful flooding going on elsewhere.

6:30

All kinds of horror. And it's

6:32

like, now here, I am bringing this up. Mr.

6:35

Summer buzzkill. And

6:39

it's like, dude, really, Mike,

6:41

we like listening to the podcast here, but can't

6:43

you just do like a happy podcast? It's

6:46

the middle of summer. It's the middle of July.

6:49

You know, why do we

6:52

need to know that the four

6:54

hottest days in the last hundred thousand

6:56

years

6:57

were just a week or two ago?

7:02

Well, because, okay, now that I've brought it up,

7:04

and I don't want to think about it either. I mean, I started

7:07

off playing this song. I was kind

7:09

of in a somewhat happy

7:12

mood. But then I heard that the you start to

7:14

listen to the song, even the parts that are in English, you

7:16

can see she's not happy

7:17

that she's back in East Atlanta. She

7:21

wants to be in Havana.

7:22

It's where she left her love.

7:26

God, when do you ever hear a song in this

7:29

country that uses the words Havana

7:31

and love in the same

7:33

sentence? Why

7:37

is that? Why

7:40

are we still behaving this way to our Cuba?

7:42

Okay, I don't don't please don't go there. I know.

7:45

So I started paying some attention to this.

7:48

We went through the four hottest days ever.

7:53

And then they said that the ocean water

7:55

is so warm right now. And

7:58

of course, you hear that and you think, oh, She

8:01

said, I never like to go in the ocean. It's kind of cold.

8:03

It's nice and warm. They

8:05

were interviewing somebody down on the

8:07

Florida Keys and they were saying that the

8:10

water temperature today was 96 degrees. 96

8:13

degrees. That's

8:15

a hot bath you've

8:20

drawn for yourself. And then

8:22

of course it turns out that 96 degrees for the

8:24

oceans is danger.

8:27

Danger. It kills

8:31

the animals in the sea.

8:33

It does awful things to the coral reefs.

8:36

It does a whole bunch of things

8:38

that throw off our ecosystem.

8:41

That put us in serious danger. We

8:45

are if aliens from other places

8:48

have ever dropped by to investigate

8:50

us. I think one of the reasons

8:52

they've never decided to stay is because

8:54

the planet is 70% water. And if they're like

8:57

us, you

8:59

know, they can't walk on water.

9:02

So why would you stay on? Why if like

9:04

if we had to leave this planet and go look for another

9:06

planet and we were just in one of those spaceships

9:09

and we're just scouting around looking for a place to

9:11

land. Would you land on a planet

9:13

where if literally if you step anywhere

9:16

onto 70% of its

9:18

surface

9:19

you would just sink and drown. You

9:22

wouldn't say hey let's set up the new earth on

9:25

this planet. No you want to look for a place with solid

9:27

ground. You know in an atmosphere

9:29

where you can breathe. I guess those would be the two big

9:32

things you'd look for right? And

9:36

you know some kind of coffee

9:38

shop every few

9:40

hundred feet. What

9:44

would be the criteria of looking for a new place

9:46

to live because this place is becoming

9:48

quite unlivable.

9:50

We can't survive with the

9:53

oceans at 96 degrees.

9:56

That's death.

11:59

speak you know mostly you

12:02

know forest fires and Just

12:04

because we're lucky because of how the wind is shifted

12:06

or whatever. So the sky is in orange

12:09

and that breathing smoke particles Whatever

12:12

and yet it is still with us right

12:14

now

12:16

and I know I

12:18

Know you're on the beach. You're listening to

12:20

me. You've already turned this off because it's like

12:22

where is he going with this? Nothing,

12:25

but doom and gloom Mike. Yeah, but

12:27

no, it's not so much that I just want to know why

12:29

I haven't thought about it. How did I forget

12:31

that?

12:32

I looked out it was two

12:34

in the afternoon and it looked like the earth

12:38

Like something had hit us Everything

12:41

was on fire. The Sun

12:43

was like a Bright

12:46

little speck in the sky Because

12:52

we don't want to think about it Who

12:57

can blame us right our brain doesn't want us to think about it Hmm

13:02

Okay, so think about this. All right Last Thursday

13:06

last just last Thursday There

13:09

was a massive solar storm.

13:12

That's a storm that starts on the Sun And

13:16

has these explosions and

13:18

blows itself across the solar system Solar

13:22

storm can get to us in sometimes a

13:24

few days maybe a week So

13:27

on Thursday though You

13:30

know they actually the scientists

13:33

they have NASA they have names for different parts

13:35

of the Sun like That's

13:37

the northwestern part of the southwestern

13:40

part, but they also have for Sun spots, but you know the big they're called

13:43

Sun spots So on

13:45

Thursday Sun spot AR 3 3 3

13:47

7-2 You've

13:51

been there right right?

13:54

No never never taken a vacation there

13:56

on Sun spot

13:59

AR3372. It's

14:02

there and on Thursday it

14:05

had eight separate explosions

14:10

just like these massive bomb-like explosions

14:14

that blew out these solar particles, created

14:17

a solar wind, and

14:20

made its way to earth in record

14:23

time and caused a rolling

14:26

blackout,

14:27

this is last Thursday, across

14:29

our entire planet

14:32

where that basically the blackout

14:35

wasn't so much our, it wasn't electricity this

14:37

time. It was the radio

14:40

waves that we use

14:41

for radio and other forms

14:44

of communication whatever on this planet and

14:47

it just they just went dark they went it just

14:49

went dead

14:51

for a series of minutes across

14:53

the entire planet earth. Did you hear about this?

14:57

Are you hearing this for the first time? You

15:00

did not know that last Thursday there

15:02

was a series of blackouts

15:04

across our entire planet because

15:06

our magnetic field that is protecting

15:09

us

15:10

from solar storms.

15:12

Alright this is why the only reason

15:15

the earth is still alive, the

15:17

only reason I'm able to binge

15:20

on certain streaming shows on Netflix

15:22

and elsewhere is because

15:25

there's a magnetic field protecting us. You

15:28

know Mars billions of years

15:30

ago had the same magnetic field made of the

15:32

same material that protected it

15:35

from the Sun and

15:37

so at that time Mars,

15:39

I know I only know this because I was watching

15:41

Nova on PBS,

15:43

you know, you know your life it's

15:45

the middle of the summer I know you're thinking right

15:48

Mike you really got to get out more I

15:51

mean you can still make friends

15:53

at your age it's it's

15:56

okay but you're sitting in the

15:58

middle of summer watching a piece

15:59

PBS rerun on a show called

16:02

Nova. Yes, I was. Yes, I

16:04

admit it. I was.

16:06

And I'm not that uninteresting

16:09

or boring or whatever. I just was

16:11

mesmerized by this story of Mars and

16:13

how a few billion years ago, there

16:15

was so much water on Mars. It

16:18

was covered with water.

16:20

How much was it covered? Well, quite

16:23

a bit, like us, 70%. Oh,

16:26

we couldn't go to Mars. Where

16:28

could we build condos with all that water

16:30

unless there's, shut up, just listen

16:32

to the story. Okay, so

16:35

Nova

16:36

tells me that it

16:38

had so much water. There was

16:40

this one place, it was like our Niagara

16:42

Falls. It's a huge falls,

16:45

water,

16:47

gushing over and over into

16:49

this huge like canyon. Except

16:52

this waterfall on Mars is estimated

16:54

to have been over

16:57

six miles wide. Wide,

17:01

and then the length of it was like 60 miles.

17:07

Why? It's like, I can't even fathom

17:09

what that means, but that's how much water was

17:12

on Mars. And they had volcanoes with

17:14

fire. So they had fire, they had water.

17:17

They had these elements on what we, when we're

17:19

looking for life in the universe.

17:23

And I started thinking, why are we looking for

17:25

life in the universe? If life was really that close

17:28

to us, and then no longer

17:30

was, A, why wasn't it? And

17:34

B, maybe in a way that we can't figure

17:36

it out in our own solar system. Maybe

17:38

we don't need to travel a gazillion

17:40

miles to find it. Maybe it's right here. But

17:44

for some reason, the electromagnetic

17:46

field protecting Mars up

17:49

in its atmosphere from the solar

17:52

storms that are constantly erupting,

17:55

failed. And

17:58

that basically, That was the end of Mars

18:01

as an Earth-like planet

18:05

and became just essentially this desert

18:08

planet with red sand,

18:11

the red planet.

18:13

So then I started looking up, what, just

18:15

how thick is this electromagnetic field

18:17

that's supposed to protect us? Like, well,

18:20

this could happen to us. What if

18:22

it went out?

18:23

What if it went out? What would happen?

18:26

Well, of course, what would happen is that

18:28

it would be the end of us.

18:31

Are we thinking about that at all, ever? You

18:34

can look all this up, these things I'm telling you. I looked a little

18:36

further. Do you realize that there was

18:38

a solar storm that got through our field?

18:41

I guess it happens maybe every, sometimes

18:43

every hundred years,

18:45

every few hundred years. Back

18:48

in 1859, a solar storm

18:50

made its way through Earth's shield.

18:54

Now, see, we didn't have electricity back then.

18:56

We didn't have an electrical

18:59

grid. I mean, we knew what electricity was

19:01

because I think Ben Franklin flew a kite

19:03

and there was a key on the kite and

19:05

the lightning bolt hit the kite.

19:07

Is that right? I don't know. Something

19:10

we learned in fifth grade. So

19:13

they knew what electricity was, but they

19:15

hadn't figured out a way to harness it,

19:18

to use it,

19:20

which they would by the end of the 1800s. And

19:23

suddenly there were lights in our homes

19:26

and lights on the city streets and whatever.

19:30

So in 1859, it made it through. We

19:34

did have one thing that was sort

19:36

of, let's just say electronically

19:38

based. It was the first thing that we

19:40

had set up as humans where

19:43

we weren't communicating with smoke

19:45

signals, Pony Express.

19:48

We needed to get a message somewhere. The

19:51

telegraph in the 1800s was invented. And

19:55

by just clicking on two pieces of metal

19:57

together and sending it out through a wire.

20:00

you could send a message to somebody 10 miles

20:04

away, 100 miles away, and eventually they

20:07

were able to string up after,

20:09

you know, slaughtering enough Native

20:11

Americans a wire or

20:14

two or three across the entire country, and

20:17

you literally could send a telegraph message

20:19

from New York to California. And

20:23

it was revolutionary at the

20:25

time. That and the railroads, which

20:27

again, the transcontinental railroad happened

20:30

around the same time, it

20:32

was the reason that they

20:35

eventually, they had to invent

20:37

the idea of time zones. Because think about

20:39

this, before the telegraph

20:41

or the railroad, why would you need to know what time

20:44

it was in California if you're on the East Coast?

20:47

Because you didn't want to wake anybody up.

20:52

There was no need for him to know what time it

20:54

was out there because there was no way you were going to talk

20:56

to anybody out there.

20:58

Or, oh, I need to get this. I need to get,

21:00

they need to get this by five o'clock today. Well,

21:03

that's not going to happen. There was no way

21:05

to fly out there. There was no way to get

21:08

a message out there. There was, we're

21:10

talking about just in the 1800s. We're not

21:13

even talking 200 years ago. All

21:15

right. I

21:19

know you didn't tune into this for a history

21:22

and science lesson here today,

21:24

but when I heard that there were these

21:27

eight bombs that went off

21:29

in the Sun on this one Sunspot,

21:32

AR3372, and

21:35

it shot all this solar

21:39

shit across

21:42

Venus, across Mercury, across wherever,

21:46

whoever else was out there and it hits us and

21:49

it causes a radio blackout last

21:51

Thursday. I don't think we should know

21:53

about this. You know, I

21:56

just found out about it because I was looking up this stuff

21:58

about the, why are there so many still 500 fires

22:01

in Canada. And

22:04

then I learned that there was a solar and in the

22:06

in reading about the solar storm of 1859, they said the head we

22:08

had electricity

22:13

back then, that if we had like the electrical

22:15

grid that we have, you don't like there's the East Coast

22:18

grid and the West Coast grid, and you know

22:20

how Texas remember how they've got their own grid, they didn't

22:22

want to be attached to anybody else's grid. So when

22:25

it went down a couple of winters ago and people

22:27

froze to death, but at least

22:29

they got to Texas, still gets to have their own

22:32

grid, that a solar

22:34

storm,

22:35

if it hit the grid, it would put the grid

22:37

out. It literally

22:40

could knock out the grid, a storm

22:42

the size of the one that took place

22:45

in 1859.

22:48

And if that happens, if

22:51

like let's say just even one section

22:53

of the country, just let's just say the Northeast,

22:57

the grid goes down,

22:59

that's it folks. Not it

23:02

as in the planet blows up or anything, it

23:04

just means that what do you need electricity

23:07

for? Well how about to pump the water? How

23:10

about just to get water into your

23:12

house to get the water

23:15

from wherever the water is coming from? We

23:17

aren't the Romans, you know, it's not a series

23:20

of aqueducts that are essentially

23:22

using gravity.

23:24

You need electricity the way we have our modern

23:26

system set up to have

23:28

the pumps function and make

23:31

it into your faucet. And

23:36

humans can last what,

23:38

four days? If you don't

23:40

drink water, any water, nothing, no

23:42

liquids in four days, essentially

23:44

the human body gives up. So if

23:47

you lose the electrical grid, there's no backup grid, you

23:49

know that right? There's no backup grid and

23:51

it would take, in

23:53

this one article I read, like if the

23:55

East Coast grid went out, it would take anywhere from six

23:57

to 18 months to rebuild

23:59

it.

23:59

to repair it. What

24:02

do you think it's going to look like in Boston

24:04

or New York City or Pittsburgh

24:07

or whatever

24:08

when suddenly people can't drink water?

24:12

When the basic things that we use electricity

24:14

for, for life, our

24:17

lives, our daily lives are gone. And

24:22

again, the more I dig into this, I'm thinking

24:24

it's summer.

24:25

Why are you reading this stuff?

24:28

Put the music back on. This

24:30

is the only way we're going to have

24:32

to shut me down. Let's just put

24:35

the music. I don't want to be thinking about Sunspot

24:37

AR3372 and the eight

24:40

explosions it had

24:43

last Thursday. How

24:45

it made it to earth and knocked out a

24:47

lot of our radio systems for a period of

24:49

time. What's that got to

24:52

do with me? I'm

24:54

on strike. I'm a member

24:56

of the Writers Guild and I'm a member of

24:58

the Screen Actors Guild and

25:01

that's what I'm going to focus on and

25:04

whatever it is I'm binging on here

25:07

in July on TV

25:11

because that's just

25:13

where I want my head right now. I want it. Yes.

25:16

You can

25:17

turn the music up. Yes. There

25:20

we go. There we

25:22

go. Think

25:25

of Havana. Yes,

25:28

much better now. Half

25:45

of my heart is in Havana,

25:47

ooh na na. He took

25:49

me back to East Atlanta,

25:52

na na na. All of

25:54

my heart is in Havana.

25:56

My heart is in Havana.

25:58

Hey, Havana.

26:01

Okay. So, um, anyways,

26:04

before we, uh, move on to happier

26:06

28:58

What the hell is

29:00

wrong with Robert F. Kennedy

29:02

Jr. What is going on

29:03

with this guy? I

29:13

met, I met him like years ago. He's, it was nice guy. He

29:16

was a good guy. He was doing good things. And

29:19

then all of a sudden over these years,

29:21

he's like, lost

29:25

his mind or something. I don't know. I don't know how to say this.

29:29

And it's like, you know what I'm talking about, right?

29:33

He did. He, anti-vaxxer

29:39

conspiracy theorist. He

29:43

believes that the vaccines

29:45

may be responsible for the

29:48

spread of the virus. Vaccines may be responsible

29:51

for HIV.

29:55

Even back when we started doing vaccines

29:57

in the early part of the 20th century, the.

30:00

what was called the Spanish flu.

30:02

That could have been a result of it. He's

30:05

been questioning all this stuff, which again, I'm

30:07

not against ever questioning the government when

30:09

they tell us something. It should always question

30:12

the FDA. I'm not, please

30:14

don't shut down the part of

30:16

yourself that as a citizen in

30:18

a democracy, we should always be always

30:21

be questioning

30:22

what we're told. But

30:25

Robert Kennedy Jr. is all over the map. And

30:28

last Thursday, while the sun's exploding,

30:32

he's having a little, I don't know, political fundraiser

30:35

for his candidacy for president

30:38

of the United States. All

30:41

of a sudden, he says something. Oh,

30:44

I know what it was. See, I put this out

30:46

of my head. I don't want to think about this. Robert

30:50

Kennedy Jr. says

30:52

something to the effect and he's kind of just

30:55

positing. He's just kind of thinking

30:57

out loud. He said that there's

30:59

a reason that

31:01

Jews and

31:03

Chinese people aren't

31:06

getting COVID. I'd

31:10

say I can't even say

31:13

this the right way because in fact, the

31:15

New York Post actually posted

31:18

video of him saying the stuff

31:21

that the COVID virus itself is directed

31:23

at white people and black people,

31:25

but not Jews and Chinese.

31:29

Okay, I say I even hate to repeat this stuff because

31:31

it's so wackadoodle. Except

31:35

now I read on Seymour

31:38

Hersh's sub-stack yesterday

31:41

or the day before, you know, it's I, Hersh,

31:43

right, those are the old duff to remember. One

31:47

of the most important investigative

31:49

reporters of the last century, the

31:52

first one to expose the

31:54

Milai massacre during the Vietnam War. Really,

31:58

really good soul, great. writing and

32:02

he writes about how he

32:04

heard through his channels

32:08

that there is talk somewhere

32:11

whether it's with the Trump people or the Robert

32:15

Kennedy jr. people I don't know where he

32:18

doesn't cite his source but

32:20

basically our discussions

32:23

going on that perhaps

32:25

Robert Kennedy jr.

32:27

could be Trump's running mate

32:30

in next year's election there

32:32

I said it okay I know don't

32:34

freak out but it's like

32:37

this is

32:39

the kind of stuff that's going on right now and

32:46

what do we do with it I don't

32:52

know what else to say about

32:54

that except there's so many people

32:56

that you know I gotta tell you you

32:58

know I do as I tell you I read I read

33:00

the emails you send me here I

33:03

read your comments

33:05

on sub stack on

33:08

this podcast and there are way

33:10

way too many of you writing

33:12

to me right now you good

33:14

people I'm you my fans

33:17

like those of you listen to this there's

33:19

too many of you writing and telling me Mike

33:21

Mike

33:23

you should have Robert Kennedy jr. on the on

33:25

the podcast have

33:29

you heard what he said about kovat

33:32

you gotta have him yeah I gotta have him on there and

33:35

I'm like no no you're

33:37

my friends don't you're not saying

33:39

this to me right oh

33:43

you are saying it you you

33:47

mean you really you really didn't get oh

33:51

Wow okay

33:54

look what I'm not gonna deal with

33:56

it today cuz I've already I've

33:59

already wrecked your beach day,

34:01

you listening to this, but my

34:05

friends, this is not

34:07

a conspiracy. And

34:10

look, I'm the one saying this. I'm

34:12

the one that has, you've watched

34:15

my movies for years, you've read my books,

34:17

you've listened to this podcast.

34:20

You know I'm the last one to believe

34:23

what the people in power are telling us is the truth,

34:25

because we've been lied to

34:27

our entire lives. And

34:31

that the best way to be a good citizen in

34:33

democracy is to be skeptical

34:36

and to ask questions and to never

34:39

accept the things that those in power, especially

34:42

those who hold financial

34:44

power over us. When they

34:46

tell us things, they should

34:48

be treated with skepticism and we

34:50

should all ask questions. That's a good

34:53

thing to do in a free

34:55

society or

34:58

one we wanna believe is a free society. And

35:02

so I know a lot of you who don't trust

35:05

all this stuff with COVID and the

35:08

vaccines and all this other related

35:10

stuff,

35:12

you're doing the right thing by questioning it. But

35:17

sometimes, sometimes

35:19

the government, is

35:23

telling us the truth. Mary, oh,

35:25

I said it. Actually,

35:27

a lot of times they're telling us because

35:30

they wanna live too.

35:32

They have a vested interest in

35:35

that millions upon millions of us don't die

35:37

from a disease or a virus from

35:42

the solar storm that is on

35:44

its way to earth right now. Fortunately,

35:48

they have the same desire to live that we have. And

35:54

then, but somehow, some of

35:56

you, oh, I don't know what

35:58

to say. I wish I could just give you a second. a big hug. I

36:03

know you're thinking, oh, you fought, you

36:05

fell for it. Yeah, you fell for it. Now,

36:09

I think I'm a, I don't know, I'm a relatively

36:13

intelligent person. I

36:14

ask the questions that need to be asked. I

36:18

reject the lies that are told to

36:20

us. I fight against them. You

36:22

do too. But not

36:25

everything is a lie.

36:28

And if our minds get so warped

36:31

by all the crap we have to deal with that we just

36:33

don't believe anything anymore. How are

36:36

we going to function?

36:40

No, I will not have Robert Kennedy Jr.

36:42

on this podcast spewing

36:44

out crazy stuff

36:47

that somehow somebody

36:49

bioengineered this possibly

36:53

so the Jews and Chinese are protected.

36:56

Frankly, it doesn't look like the Chinese were protected

36:58

at all. So that, that

37:01

brings it down to that.

37:03

Well, what now, now it just sounds

37:05

like some anti-Semitic Jewish conspiracy.

37:08

You know, they were on the world,

37:10

they gave the rest of us COVID. So

37:13

why, why would they, why would they do

37:15

that? Well, I don't know, but,

37:18

but I heard Robert Kennedy Jr.

37:20

say it.

37:21

He's Robert Kennedy's son. Okay.

37:26

Yeah, I know. I,

37:36

oh my God. What, what, what

37:39

would he be feeling now seeing

37:42

his son, his namesake saying

37:44

and doing these things? His

37:51

mom is alive. Bobby Kennedy's

37:54

widow, Ethel Kennedy, still

37:56

alive. He's all his

37:58

siblings, everybody. And

38:00

the family I know, I mean, they've written

38:02

op-eds about it and they're just,

38:05

they're kind of devastated themselves by

38:07

all this. And

38:10

the fact that he might possibly try

38:13

to have something to do with Trump

38:17

coming back into power some

38:20

weird way. Well,

38:22

we don't want to believe that. I don't believe it. I can't

38:25

believe it. I can't, no, no,

38:28

I can't, my brain can't

38:31

handle all this. It's too

38:33

much. I

38:35

want to believe something else.

38:37

I want to enjoy the summer day. Well,

38:48

I

38:52

don't know. These

38:54

were the thoughts on my mind on this

38:57

summer's day. And,

39:02

um,

39:09

thanks Angie. And just put the music back

39:11

on to cheer

39:13

me up. East

39:19

Atlanta. I

39:27

mean, this is where we're at folks. I

39:32

know it feels like one rabbit hole after

39:35

another that we're sliding down, but there are

39:37

millions of us, millions

39:40

of us who are sick and tired of this, who

39:42

don't believe in this way of living millions

39:45

and millions and millions and millions of us. You've got

39:47

to, if I leave you with one thing, I

39:50

leave you with that. I'm not going to play any

39:52

more Havana for you. I promise. In

39:54

fact, what I want to do is leave

39:56

you with this beautiful version

39:58

of the Beatles.

39:59

song, Blackbird. And

40:05

Angie actually ran across this online.

40:08

And it's, there's a public

40:10

high school in Nova Scotia, in

40:12

Canada.

40:13

And this young woman,

40:17

Emma Stevens, is her name, I think.

40:19

Yes, Emma Stevens. And

40:22

they, they put together this recording.

40:25

And they decided to sing

40:28

it

40:28

in the native language,

40:31

the native tongue

40:33

of the native peoples of that part

40:35

of Canada,

40:37

the Miigabakh tribe, which,

40:39

you know, was one of the largest

40:41

tribes, was one of the largest tribes in eastern

40:45

Canada,

40:46

and in the northeast of the United States. And

40:49

like all these tribes and peoples

40:51

all over the earth, native peoples had their own

40:53

language. Most of these

40:55

languages now have been lost,

40:58

forgotten.

40:59

Nobody speaks them. The

41:02

UN has been trying to record and,

41:05

and keep for posterity, a record

41:08

of these human languages. And

41:10

so they decided at

41:13

this high school to record the

41:16

Beatles song, Blackbird, in

41:18

the native language. And

41:21

I, for whatever reason, I just thought

41:23

I'd leave you with this today.

41:26

Emma Stevens from Allison

41:29

Bernard Memorial High School in

41:32

Nova Scotia.

41:33

Hang in there, everybody.

41:35

I'll come back with more happy

41:37

news next week. All

41:40

is not lost. We

41:43

still have an electromagnetic field, the

41:46

one that protects our atmosphere, and

41:49

the ones that protect our hearts. Be

41:53

well. This is Michael Moore. Thanks

41:56

to my executive producer and editor, Angela

41:59

Vargas. And

42:02

this is Blackbird.
