Well, just sitting here.
Got a group dance lesson coming up here
in a little while. And I saw a comment
online about setting records for beef
prices in particular in the US.
And you'll probably recall that dream I
had.
The heck is that? And I was at I think
in the southern east southeastern area
of the US like Florida, Alabama, maybe
Georgia, they have public supermarkets,
one of our good quality stuff
supermarkets. And I had this dream quite
a while ago. I told you guys me and my
wife were at the store in the dream
Publix. We're checking out and we have a
bag of steak and it was like a different
cuts of meat were in this bag. So, it's
like, oh, you know, whatever. Just a
bunch of different cuts of types of
meat, uh, steaks. So, we get up to the
counter and they're like, okay. They
start ringing it up and it's expensive.
But then there was a couple in there
that they couldn't tell us the price
until right like right as you ring it
up. Like, okay, here's it's almost like
it's the market price down to the
minute. What's the price right now? Oh,
it's this price. You know, me and Evan
look at each other like, "Oo." And we're
and in the dream, we're like, "Man, it's
been a while since we've had steak. We
really want to eat some beef, you know,
it's very good for you." So, we're like,
"Yeah, we can afford it, so I guess
we'll just do it." So, we we did it. And
um it's interesting how long ago I had
that dream. And now today, the newslines
are flaring about the high
record-breaking prices of meat. And I
had a different dream another time about
an organic orange. One organic orange
was either
9 or 10 bucks if I recall going off my
memory. One orange n or 10 bucks
organic. And I'm like, "Oh my god." So
those those days are coming.
As you can see, one's already starting
to to be here, and that's the meat
prices. And they've been steadily
climbing, steadily climbing, steadily
climbing.
And then we also have the release of
Epstein stuff. Well, some of it. Not all
of it. Some of it. We're going to
release it in little tranches, so to
speak. Why? What is this nonsense?
Everything's an effing game.
And then, oh, here's six pages or
whatever it was. Three pages, five,
four, six, something
that was released today. What is it? Oh,
it's a gigantic black page of
reductions.
Well, because there's potential victims
in there. So, we got to redact
everything.
Redact. Don't view it. Don't let the
people look through it.
So,
yeah, there's that.
Um, but again, you want to get caught up
in this all day long, constantly looking
for this news. It's everywhere. If you
want it, if you want to get caught up
and wrapped up in it, go for it.
You know, you've seen how I've backed
way down on videos like when I first
started doing YouTube, man, like towards
the end of 2009, and I think is when I
really started. And that was the other
OG channel I had that I still finally
got back, but I don't really use it much
now because I've built this channel now.
So, I'm using this one. But,
you know, I started doing videos back
then. I was like, I'm doing one one or
two videos a week. And then it was like,
oh, I can do one a day with certain news
things that was happening, you know, and
then it's like, oh, I can do two a day.
Oh my gosh, three a day, no problem. And
then it got to the point where I'm like,
I could just do videos all day long if I
really wanted to. Do you imagine all day
long your phone ding ding someone I
subscribed to on YouTube? Oh, it's that
damn Jason for the 15th video today.
Like, could you imagine if I
anybody did that many videos? It's just
too much, you know? And I'm like, sure,
I could go back down to three videos a
day, so to speak, you know? And I'm
like, no, once a week, once a couple of
weeks. I'm like, I feel like doing stuff
talking about something, you know? It's
like
people know it's bad out there. Like, I
don't have to tell you going to the
grocery store, you know, oh, look at the
price of gas. His price of gas is down.
Really?
For the price of a barrel of oil, that's
that's the best we can do. $2.75 a
gallon. Really? How about a $1.90 a
gallon? $150 a gallon. What What
happened to that?
We've seen prices crash like that when
the barrel of oil is as cheap as it's
been. But for some reason now, that's
doesn't apply anymore.
What happened?
Don't know. If the price of a barrel of
oil equals XYZ,
then
the G price at the gas pump also equals
XYZ in relation to that. And we've
always seen it that way until recent
times when the price of a barrel of oil
comes crashing down
and yet the price of the gas station
comes barely down,
you know, and then again a 50-year
mortgage.
H
was having a conversation with this the
other day with a friend, actually her
husband. Well, it's still a friend, and
we're talking about this whole 50 year.
He's, you know, said, "What do you think
about the 50-year mortgage?" I go,
"Well,
let me just say
if Trump did nothing, nothing could
nobody's being helped in any way, shape,
or form. It's just you're not ever
affording a house. You new newly
graduated college kids or whatever. Good
luck. you you're going to have to live
like the the Mexicans would do coming
over here. They'd live multiple families
in a home working for dirt cheap labor
typically on farms and things growing
strawberries and crops in Florida at
least and between two or three families
they can afford easily to live in a
house and uh you know that's not our
lifestyle as Americans we don't do that
in third world countries it's normal
it's common or during the great
depression here it was common but this
is America not a third world country
So,
it's just not the way it's supposed to
be,
>> you know, and
you know, kind of getting off onto some
other points here, but
it's just, you know, yeah, it's tough
out there, you know, and and I used to
bring you the news, like realist news.
I'm going to keep it real with you, but
it's like gosh, how much how often we
need need to be reminded of this? you
you reminded every day you get in your
car and go fill up for gas. Every day
you go to the grocery store and buy
groceries. I don't care what grocery
store you're using. I mentioned the
other day I was like, man, I was went to
get some freaking ribs at Publix and
they had two in a package and they were
small and it was like over 30 something
bucks.
I go I end up going to this other store
where I I buy my Philly cheese steakake
meats when I'm doing those. Um GFI
Marketplace, Gordon Food Service or GFS
Marketplace. And I went in there and
they had I think three good size ribs
for like maybe around 28 bucks or
whatever. It was close to 30 bucks. I'm
like, well, you know, Publix is not
doesn't seem to care about, you know,
keeping prices down or no, they're just
going to let it ride. And again, in the
dream, I was out of Publix in particular
where the steak prices were like, what
the
Well, it's been a long time since we had
some steaks. You want to just do it?
Yeah. Okay. And we we and we did you
know so here we are
and uh you know trying to give you some
hope and like things will get better you
know and ultimately they will you know
great change comes and forces
things you know and sometimes
certainly sometimes you know bad things
have to happen for something good
to come out of it.
And uh
you know, you just got to run over those
speed bumps, which is why this whole
time, all these years, I've been telling
people about buying silver. I used to be
the biggest giant silver bug you ever
met. Years ago, I'm still a silver bug,
but I don't talk about it much. I've got
all I've ever wanted to acquire.
Everything's good in that department.
But,
you know, I try to look out for people
like, "Hey, this is what I'm doing. This
is why I'm doing it." Makes sense. Okay,
you do it, too, if you think so. Hey,
cryptos, this new thing. ICOs and oh,
you throw mud at the wall, some of them
will stick. Some of them will be
destroyed. Doesn't matter. Those ones
that took off will make up for all the
losses you had. It's exactly what
happened. Hey guys, you got to get this
theta token. It's going to they're going
to give you a free TFuel token when they
go on their own blockchain. The thing is
going to be worth something and they're
giving you five times the amount of
theta you get with that thing. Get some.
You know, psychic lady Michelle White
told us about people thought I was nuts
for listening to a psychic.
Yeah. as I sit here in this house that's
paid off from crypto. And a matter of
fact, that crypto in particular,
you know, but again, things happen, they
change. Where's the ICOs that say,
"Where's the big hot coin things going?"
There's nothing. It's just whale groups
pumping and dumping on people. That's
all the the the altcoin market is right
now is crypto whales pumping and dumping
their bags on people because they know
people will get greedy and want more
than 20 or 30% profit. So they'll sit in
it and then they'll get wiped out
holding the bag.
Why would I want to go out there and try
to get you guys into something like that
where where whales are going to decide
your fate? You know, like I'm I'm not
doing and I'm not doing it myself
either. I'm not I'm not playing that
game. You know, the coins you should be
concerned about Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP,
all other coins.
Again, you'll be able to make money here
and there, but at some point the crypto
market's going to be destroyed. There's
going to be hardly anything left
standing,
but I guarantee you Bitcoin, Ethereum,
and XRP is going to be standing.
And they might even play a song for you.
I'm still standing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Looking like a true survivor.
Yep. So,
you know, that's not where we're at yet.
You know, we may have another little
pump left in the market. We're going to
have to see. But I go back to that
dream.
Marcus gonna crash in April. That lady
was so destroyed emotionally. Like I
swear I see it a thousand times. Say it
a thousand times. Like I was waiting for
her to say I just lost my child.
Death. That's how bad she looked. How
distraught she was when I walked up to
her in the dream. Hey, how you doing?
What's going on? They're going to crash
the market in April or something like
that. Right, Ian?
>> I didn't know.
>> Oh, remember remember our thing? Ready?
Hide. Hide behind the couch. Remember,
Captain Caveman
and son.
>> And son.
>> See, let little Ian smile up your day
instead of all this bad news around here
about steaks and stuff. Steak. Steaks
and lobsters.
>> Ian, you got some lobsters?
>> No.
>> Okay.
All right. Say, All right, YouTube.
Signing off. Say Ian signing off.
>> Ian sign it off.
