Some of them are just incredibly wealthy and they've made their money in ways that you could barely understand and those are people that, you know, are the reason historically that the CIA is going into Latin America and overthrowing government so that United Fruit can, you know, It's true. Have a monopoly. Have a monopoly, right?
So they're doing things at the behest of these ultra-wealthy families that control huge industries.
And that's the way the whole thing seems to be organized. Yeah, and always has been. We're just learning it now. You know, that's all the difference. But it is falling apart now because some of their kids are doing stand-up comedy. No, literally.
I mean, there are people, they're young in New York and they're just like, their parents are some of the wealthiest people in the world and these kids are like doing stand-up, which is a terrible sign for the empire. That's not a great sign for the empire is that like a guy that would have taken over his dad's business is like doing dick jokes.
That's right. But we need them doing that. Some of them. Having heart attacks? Yes. Everyone can't be a clown? There is something deeply unhealthy about the Illuminati doing stand-up. I don't love that idea. Well, unless they're using ChatGPT, how good could their material be?
It's just funny to meet some of these people, and then you talk to them, and they'll just casually drop that they're like, you know... Their parents are like billionaires. And you're like, that's awesome, man. And they're just doing bar shows. It's kind of interesting.
And they're nice people, but just to pull out and look at it from a sociological standpoint, it says something about people's idea of the future that these people just want to be famous now. How many of them are there? That's more than you'd think. Really? Yeah. And it's a New York thing? Yeah, it's a lot of rich people live there.
And I'm talking about mega rich, like not like, hey, my dad's a successful whatever. I'm talking about like, whoa. Billions. Big money. Yeah. Where you go, interesting.
The kids kind of float around and they're doing, it's just very funny. It's something that makes me laugh. It's just like a billionaire kid on stage looking at someone in the audience going, what do you do for a living?
Yeah, what do you do for a living? Maybe this is the first time they've met people that aren't billionaires. That could also be a thing. This might be a way to just socialize Illuminati kids. They've met their housekeepers before. Maybe they asked them, like, what should I talk about on stage? Well, yeah.
I mean, they have... And what's funny is, like, they have parties in their big houses and bring their other comic friends who are bums. You know, young comics. I mean, we're all bums. So then, like, the parents are like, hello. And they bring in, like, a bum and they go, this is my buddy. And then... He's stealing from the buffet. He's just, like, staring at them going, whoa, this place rocks.
It's like a sitcom. Yeah. And they're like, these are my friends. And I think the parents are kind of like, oh, well, isn't that nice? Maybe it's a phase. I think the parents look at it like they're going through a phase. That's interesting that there's more than one of them doing stand-up. It says something about...
That group of people that used to run everything, they have a dearth of purpose in their life. They're kind of aimless and they float around. I don't mean specifically rich comedian kids. I just mean like that ruling class, what are they doing now? They don't really have a purpose. They kind of float around. They try this new age spirituality bullshit. They travel all over the place.
You look at any of these rich kids' Instagrams, all they're doing is traveling. It's all the same shit. We're going to Anguilla. Go here, go there. There's no purpose. You know... I think they don't feel like America has a defining mission. Like if you look at families like the Kennedys, the Bushes, whatever, you think about those families. They served in the military.
They believed that there was some type of arc of history that they were a part of. I feel like a lot of rich people now just kind of don't believe in much of anything and it's just kind of like, I don't know, bored. They start a fake company. Well, if your whole –
Yeah. I think that's one of the big problems now and that's why I think you saw like a lot of like people get crazy on the left and they started instituting like all these like weird virtue things
you know, these purity tests and stuff like that is because I think they feel a lack of meaning and they wanted to give them, a lot of them wanted self-flagellation and like, they wanted the tenets of religion, they wanted meaning, they just don't have it. So I think that's what happens with a lot of them. And their kids are nice people, they're not bad people. It's just funny to see like,
Because most people who do comedy, a lot of them aren't poor. A lot of them are middle class people because they have the ability to go and at least think it's an option. But it is funny when someone goes, I'm doing comedy and I'm the scion of great wealth.
It's an interesting thing to me, just because I've always been fascinated with rich people and these people that run the world. And it's so interesting that some of their kids are like, I'm going to do stand-up comedy now. When was the first time you met a really rich person? How old were you? I met a couple of mafia people that my dad used to play music, so they owned some bars.
But they weren't super rich. I would observe them, because my uncle was the director of operations for all these restaurant groups in New York City, this restaurant group in New York City. that had these big high-end steakhouses. And I would go, and one of them was on 63rd and Park. And I would sit in this steakhouse with my parents. I was probably eight or nine years old. And you'd look around.
