Chapter 1: What is the significance of a USB hardware key for online security?
Use that to buy infant formula, go to Walmart, get yourself some new clothes, medications, whatever you need. Come back tomorrow and fill out your stuff for the real aid. But people are fixated on that $700 thing. Hmm. So that's one of the things.
The other was that it was Alex Jones, which, okay, who said that firefighters were using handbags to put out fires because their engines had been sent to Ukraine. And really, apparently there are these canvas bags that firefighters use almost like as a bucket brigade thing when you don't need to bring a hose, you just need like a little bit of water to dump on the fire.
And so really that was what they were using. They're not handbags. They're, They are handbags. They're not like Birkin bags. Got it. Was there any equipment sent to Ukraine, though?
I believe the U.S. or other NATO nations have sent firefighting equipment and ambulances. I know that we've had, I think, Jake Bro. You know who Jake Bro is? I don't know. He's out of Las Vegas. You should have Jake Bro on your show. I will get you in touch with Jake Bro. Please. I love Vegas locals. He is an amazing human being. Jake Broe. Jake Broe. B-R-O-E.
He was a former, he's a former missile guy, a missile man in the Air Force. So he sat next to nuclear, well, he didn't sit next to nuclear missiles. They're like a couple miles away, but he's in a capsule. Finger over the button. with a nuclear missile. I learned a lot about nuclear missiles from him, but he's had fun drives where he's tried to raise money to bring ambulances, bring trucks.
Got it. And the third thing, I just heard this in the Uber coming over here today where this woman said, yeah, the government started the fires because the government started the fires in California because they wanted to create a smart city and put a chip in everybody's hand. And I mean, like, look, we already have a chip in our hand, right? We carry this around voluntarily.
You know, we give up our data. Yes, Apple, here. Here's our data. Please take it. You know, give me an easier way to check out by going like that with our phone really on our wrist. I actually remember back when they said the sign of the beast was going to be on your head or on your wrist. Something like that. This Christian notion of the Antichrist.
You need something on your head or your hand to pay for goods. Now you got your Apple Watch. And you got your freaking Apple goggles. What are those called? Oh, the Apple Google glasses or Apple vision pro. Yeah. And now the Facebook has one, the medic glasses with Ray-Ban. I don't know if you can pay for stuff, but maybe. Yeah. I'm not sure. I know it records people now. That's nuts.
Yeah, so you could just be somewhere and recording people without them knowing. I can only imagine. Well, there's got to be a light that comes on, right?

Chapter 2: What insights does Ryan McBeth share about his book 'The Wind Machine'?
What kind of weapons? I'd have to look it up, but she was saying it got across the Mexican border. I mean, we have plenty of weapons here. You want a weapon? Go buy one.
She said, I'm not too concerned with... You can go to a gun store. You can buy a semi-automatic rifle. you don't have an effective weapon if you want to be a bad guy. And you look at the Mandalay Bay shooter, uh, that guy might've, oh boy, I hope I don't get you demonetized. Uh, I think they're over that incident now.
Um, but you look at the Mandalay Bay shooter, he probably would have been more effective if he didn't put a bump stock, you know, to simulate automatic fire on his weapon. He was in a perfect position now, uh, an elevated position, uh, So, yeah, I don't know if you need to worry about weapons getting into the country. We have plenty of guns here. And that's actually kind of a good thing, right?
Like, I'm armed right now. I have a carry permit in DC, Virginia, um, or in Maryland. So, you know, I, I, I, look, there is a terrorist attack. I'm going to be okay. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah.
Look, the gun isn't for killing the terrorists. It is. If the terrorist is in my way between here and, uh, here and, and getting away, well, you know, at least I have a fighting chance, but, uh, yeah, you're not, you're, you're, you don't go and fight the terrorists to use the gun to fight your way through any bad guys to get to safety. Yeah. I'm not John McClane, right.
I'm not going after the terrorists. Um, One good advantage about being in the United States is we are armed. And if there is a terrorist, you might not be a terrorist for very long if there's a couple of people in the crowd who are armed. Mandalay Bay, that probably didn't matter because the guy's in the elevator position.
It's way high up. You're not using a pistol against that. Yeah, I texted you before I came here because I was just seeing on X people were freaking out about the safety issues of the inauguration, you know, and now they moved it indoors.
So I think there was, who was the guy, there was one president who died 30 days after the inauguration. I don't remember, probably roughly a month after the inauguration because he caught a cold. Wow. They were in the cold. It's going to be really cold tomorrow. Like 27 degrees. It's going to snow tonight. That's a safety issue.
Not safety issue is like someone's going to shoot up the place, but think about safety issue in the sense of 27 degrees, freezing cold. You have snipers Really marksmen, not snipers. Yeah. You have marksmen up on the roofs of some of these buildings laying there for hours in the cold. That is a safety issue for these guys. You have police officers out in the cold.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of China's military developments?
If you work for a law firm, maybe you're a little bit above. If you work for a contractor, you're a little bit below the law firm. If you work on the Hill, on Capitol Hill, a little bit more clout. Depends on who you work for and what your position is on their staff. Government agency, below Capitol Hill. White House, it's kind of, you're getting to the top tier. It depends.
You work in the Eisenhower office building or do you work in the White House? Where do you work in the White House? So if you're working in the White House. Wow, so there's levels. So yeah, the question is, if I date you, where does that put me in the social hierarchy? So do you think about that too with the woman you date or no? Dude, I'm almost 50. You think I can?
You think I can choose? You think I'm going like, wow, she only works for like, no! Yeah. All right, she's a woman, and she likes me. I'm good. I feel that. Wow. That's pretty, yeah. I didn't know DZ was like that. It reminds me of college. Being a freshman guy, they say you were always at the bottom of the totem pole because you couldn't get into parties.
Yeah, unless you have money, I guess, right? Not even money. You need either five girls with you at Rutgers, or you're screwed. Five to one ratio. Wait, wait, wait. Five guys for every girl at Rutgers? No, so five girls for every guy if you're a freshman guy. That's how you get into parties. Oh. Yeah, because you're at the bottom of the totem pole. So you went to Rutgers?
I did. In Jersey. Yeah, I grew up in Jersey. It's like five Rutgers. New Brunswick. I don't count the other ones as real Rutgers. It's like Newark and like... So I went to NJIT in New Jersey. Okay.
I did 99% of my stuff distance learning. I was in the military at the time. But I did go to campus like a couple of times. Because like back then, you actually had to go to campus registers before the distance learning thing happened. Yeah. So I remember there was a Rutgers right across the street. Rutgers Newark. Yeah, Newark. Rutgers Newark.
And talking with some of these dudes, it was like if they wanted a girl, they went across the street to Rutgers Newark to get a girlfriend. Because at the time, no women went to NJIT. I don't know if that's changed much either. NJIT. I heard about one. Did you know they had a football team? I did not. I did not know that.
Are they division one or? Probably not. No clue. No, they got to be like D3 or something. Dude, I was in the arc. Can you imagine like the NJIT football team? Yes, let us get out there and win one for Ganesha. That's funny, man. It's just not like, I can't. All right. And that is, I guess they could have a football team. Yeah.
So social experience did not play a role in your college decision-making process. Cool. For me, it was very high up. I once went, I took, I was at some community college because I needed like three credits of a liberal arts. Was it RBCC? Bariton Valley Community College? No.
