So you're encouraging your fellow Gen Zers to like a back to the land movement.
22:40
Specifically to build community outside of the big cities, to seek, to go somewhere where you're not, you don't have a gun to your head that is the landlord threatening to evict you.
22:50
You can actually just not have to work a corporate job to facilitate your artistic dream and you can really pay 400 bucks a month and just like figure out how to sell stuff on eBay and pursue what your passion is.
23:01
That dream is still possible if you don't enter the young professional space, if you don't pursue the coolest, most hip place in the country, if you build something cool outside of the mix.
23:10
There's so many sick towns that, like, if you and your friends move to and just get more people to come slowly, they'll be sick as hell.
23:16
What are some of those? Well...
23:18
There's so many.

recourse right no there's no pa hotline

if you if you call the cops there it's the israeli army who picks up and that's typically just the settlers in green outfits so it's a dreadful situation never seen anything like it never seen that kind of hatred and situation on earth before i hope to never see it again but unfortunately things do appear to be getting worse you know especially because no accountability i mean you enable people to terrorize attack torture kidnap and steal the homes of palestinians you know and that spreads like wildfire you have ben gevier and smotrich providing basically machine guns to all these settler kids and sending them into the palestinian communities to clear land so that they can bulldoze it and build subdivision style homes to sell at auctions in places like fort lauderdale florida boca raton and new york so that they can move more americans and foreigners into area a b and c zones in the west bank so it's a it's crazy to see with your own eyes israeli society has a lot of layers to it You know, and the settlers who are illegally living in the West Bank are not like the people living in Tel Aviv or Haifa or parts of West Jerusalem.
50:39
They are ideologically driven.
50:42
They think Palestinians have no right to really live.
50:45
They think it's an ideology and not a population.
50:47
They think it's Judea and Samaria.
50:49
They hope for the total annexation and expulsion of the Palestinians living there.
54:08
It's like, people wanna watch the clips and comment and they don't wanna sit down for an hour and really dig into the
48:55
We can talk about it now, but that's only because the good guys want
48:58
it.
48:59
Hey, what's up, guys? There's something I forgot to tell you about.
49:01
We also just launched our own streaming platform called C5.Now. We have five films on there right now.
49:07

I
141:37
really appreciate it.
141:40
After interviewing Hunter and Nick about a variety of contentious topics, not limited to but including the Iran war and ongoing conflict in the Middle East, I thought to myself, you know what? Maybe I should just go.
20:35
Sign me up
20:35
...
20:35
the other one is, like, US imperialism and, like, I guess, you know, seeing foreign intervention, which, which is obviously costly happening at the same time that most people in my generation have, like, two jobs, three roommates, and are just unfulfilled and have no community.
20:46
So I think it's probably, like, feels weird for people to wear, like, an American flag pin or feel patriotic as far as, like, the US as a global imperial force while life on domestic soil is so bad, especially for, like, the Gen Z population.
20:58
So I feel like there's kinda two different things being discussed here-

25 MINS LATER

46:09
Hmm.
46:09
The national identity is still forming.
46:11
We're still trying to kind of figure out what's going on here, and it might change over time.
59:05
... tell the people who Nick Shirley is.
59:07
Nick Shirley is a content creator who used to be a Mormon missionary in Chile.
59:11
So he went to go convert people in the slums of Santiago to, um, join the Latter-day Saints for a small sign-up fee.
59:17
And then he came back immediately and began, uh, making some prank content.
59:22
And then after Elon Musk bought Twitter, and you could make content that was, uh, political in nature, and you wouldn't be algorithmically suppressed for producing politically divisive content, he began shooting content along, along the border, essentially trying to, uh, monetize domestic divisions and, uh, profit content-wise from eroding the social cohesion of the US by producing fear-mongering content about every oppressed demographic you can possibly think of, whether it be immigrants, uh, liberals, gay people, whoever it is.
59:53
And, um, he was recently really signal boosted, uh, shortly after the first Epstein file drop when he was, uh, I guess dispatched after getting tipped off by a congressman, a conservative congressman or senator in Minnesota, and he was, uh, accusing and allegedly exposing the Somali community in Mi- Minneapolis for perpetrating daycare fraud.
60:12
Couple days after, his video went viral, uh, after being, uh, signal boosted and shared by Elon Musk and JD Vance.
62:33
Mm-hmm
5:17
They seem to be getting there at last.
5:20
They do.
5:20
I mean, we will talk about the, uh, the first week of living under the interim arrangement discussions between the US and Iran shortly.
5:27
But, um, first, uh, yeah, let's talk about the rollercoaster that's been the A2 Milk share price, uh, recently.
5:33
Uh, and it has been a, uh, it has been a rollercoaster for shareholders, but things could be improving.
5:39
Ju-just to sort of recap and put some context here.
5:42
Uh, in April, the A2 share price, uh, was sitting over eleven bucks, but then you get this, uh, what I call it a swarm, where you get a number of factors that sort of coalesce and hit that share price pretty hard.
7:59
What's going on there?
6:12
Hello, Andrew.
6:14
Yeah, morning, Heather.
6:14
Right, what do you make of this proposed tariff? Oh, gosh, here we go again, don't we? So terrorists raised their heads.
6:20
Now, if you thought news flow on the terrorists had been sort of quiet, you're probably right.
6:25
But there has been a bit going on in the background.
6:27
Not only that, but you've had your little military excursion in the Middle East as well, which has tended to dominate the headlines.
6:33
Now, the key context here, of course, is that the...
8:11
Right, what's the deal with the building consents?
6:29
Data from Friday was more positive than that, wasn't it?
6:32
Yeah, that listener there sent you the wee text.
6:34
Gosh, we've got some better news for them.
6:36
So I wanted to catch up on some local data from the close of last week.
6:40
Because the economic data flow outside of the agri sector, I suppose, it has been a little sobering lately, hasn't it? That little sort of economic renaissance that we saw in early 2026 has been kind of snuffed out under the shadow of the Middle East conflict and sort of weighing on us.
6:57
But anyway, at the end of last week, ANZ Business Outlook, Heather, lifted 21 points in May.
7:04
Now, I don't want to sort of gild the lily here.
8:42
Yeah, and how did the offshore markets go over the weekend?
15:19
What's your hierarchy of, of, uh, importance?
15:22
Well, I care about the drug crisis.
15:25
Immigration and homelessness is also important.
15:27
A lot of it's informed by just the things I saw growing up between Seattle and Philadelphia.
15:32
So, that kinda stuff too.
15:34
But also, like, I'm relaunching All Gas No Brakes.
15:36
We're filming like a new episode every week, so we can come out with an episode all the ti- like, we...

22 MINS LATER

37:55
Yeah.
42:32
Okay.
42:32
I'm pretty pro-choice.
42:34
Um, I think that, um, the, the, the richest people in the country should be taxed a little bit more, and I think that the working-class people should be paid a little bit more as well.I think that there's a wide gap that you're seeing, especially when you have the richest cities in the country have the most inequality.
42:51
You have a state or a city like Los Angeles, which has the highest corporate tax rate and the highest homelessness rate in the country.
42:58
So, the fact that these two things are existing in tandem shows that the money from taxation is not being spent effectively.
43:04
People are not able to afford to live a normal life.
43:07
I think that even 30 or 40 years ago, it was normal to get a college degree, go straight into the workforce in the white-collar sector and be able to buy a home for yourself and start a family at 30.

22 MINS LATER

65:42
Yeah.
