All I can say about this - I am glad that I am old. The changes that have occurred in my 73 years on this earth are astounding. Definitely I feel much unrest in this country. I live in Texas - so who knows 🤠
73 years! Sir you have so much wisdom and memories under your belt... I can only imagine the way the current state of this country looks to you today.... Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Hi Joey, sorry about your father. I also wanted to tell you that even tho your not at Lake Mead much, please keep doing your 'walk-n-talks'. Yes we (as Americans) are facing an unknown time right now, I like listening to all you do & say because your a rational, compassionate person, and I find that comforting, and look forward to your next videos! God Bless....
Wow! Thank you for leaving me that awesome comment.. I plan on doing more walk-N-talks because it seems people like that format.. just cruising around the neighborhood so I will keep doing more of it' - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Hey Joey, interesting subject. Sad to say that I've never felt a bigger divide in this country in my 61 years! Many reasons for it, but what we're really missing is someone at the head of the table - a real Leader - to give everyone a general direction that most people will agree with. Otherwise, the population will be broken off and controlled by various factions, whether it's red or blue, or big media, or billionaire tech bros. It really doesn't feel like the "United States" anymore...more like the "Divided States of America".
Hey Mike' I agree man because I heard these gentle man with over 8 decades of wisdom speaking kindly about this subject and I felt the pain in their hearts at the state of affairs that we are in right now.. - just nice to hear perspectives from us average folks out here. - JOey
@@VegasDtech Joey my sister and I are not as old as the 80 yr olds but getting there. We were talking about the same thing today. We can hardly talk about the disappointment we both feel about the state of this country. There is blame to go around but most of it falls on one side. I won't be here that long, but I can't even imagine what will be going on 25 years from now. SMH daily.
@@karenkoe7096 Yup, agreed. In a little over 25 yrs, when I get there, I'll tell u all about it. We'll be sad together. It's like watching a bad movie, that's happening for real.
The "Elephant" in the room are the "Outside powers" that have been actively dividing our great country from within. This has been going on and forecasted for decades. It's time to hit these guys head on, fight back, and expose them for what and who they are. Don't forget that our founders stated that "We the People" are what our country is all about. Not "They the Billionair's and Big Corp". "We the People need to remain United WE Stand". And stop the bickering. Hope your journey with your father goes well and that Lake Meade rises from the Shallows!
The time to separate the union is close. A majority of the country will never except a man can be a woman, a border should be open and a government can print money at will.
They crossed the line when they came for the children. They have started a fire they now can't put out. We all understand elections and our vote no longer counts. This is now far beyond being corrected by voting. Time for plan B.
Great topic! I've thought this country has been heading towards a revolt for a while. I think we need to see what will happen after this election. I'm glad you're not a political channel, per se, but it's good to have calm, mature adult discussions as to how we NEED TO PROTECT OUR RESOURCES. Had you heard that China has been buying farmland here? Anyone else hear that, too? I'm concerned with our youth, (another resource), and how they are NOT LEARNING ACADEMICALLY, including VALUES, MANNERS, RESPECT. Good ideas, Joey, I have been following you since the Lake Mead issues. Keep up the good work. From L.A., California
Shortly before my father-in-law passed away, he and I had a conversation about the direction the country was going. He served on the USS Wichita and the USS Boston during WWII. He said that this was not the country that he had fought for during the war! He said to look to Venezuela to see how we were going to be taken down. I've been doing a lot of research lately and was surprised to see a lot of similarities in what is taking place!
Venezuela huh? I hear that from all Veterans.. Its sad because of everything those folks have sacrificed for this country... They should be pround that their service stood for something good. Thanks Susan' Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Problem is, we don't have anywhere to flee to, like them. I'm in Canada and this place is a mess. No free speech or 2nd amendment here. Self defense, forget about it. If it doesn't stop, there will be nowhere to go.
The tension and division is strong. Im in SoCal and have left twice, only to end up coming back. My entire family is here. I dont align with most of this state. But I feel Im supposed to be here to fight the good fight. Im finding there are a lot of folks like me here who want to see this state return to a more even keel. We're not all Blue. Not by a long shot. Keep up the talk and walks Joey, and stay strong. Your dad still needs you.
Joey, America is a melting pot of different cultures. As patriotic Americans, we need to continue to embrace the melting pot identity and redefine America's priorities of respect and equality. United we stand stronger! The ignorance and bigotry that is roiling among middle-class Americans seem to be being stoked by entities outside the mainstream. These entities that have this divisive agenda want to weaken and control the middle class. As Americans, we need to focus on these outside interests and come to an understanding of who would profit from the demise of our great nation.
The problem is people surround themselves with people who agree with what they want to hear. It's an echo chamber for rhetoric. If they actually went themselves to see what's actually going on it would be very eye opening. It's hard to avoid this subject right now but as someone who was born and raised in California and has lived in Tennessee for nearly 20 years, I gotta say they're both doing things wrong. One side is weak and the other is full of narcissists. You can't help everyone whether they want it or not to the point of your own demise and you can't tell people that they can't tell you what to do while actively trying to tell everyone else what to do. It's a time we all need to take a step back and reevaluate our lives and the country we want to leave to our children. If we don't snap out of it soon China won't only be making our lunch they'll be eating it too!
Welfare, disability, and social security recipients will never vote their States out of the Union. Too much money involved for everybody on both sides for either to seperate.
I doubt if the people that are advocating this state or that state to secede from the US (I think Texas is one) ever even think about that aspect of it. That said, there are a few that I wish would go but it will never happen.
SS is an earned benefit and you can get it anywhere in the world. Now drug addicts on SS disability is dependent on living in the US. So, all the federal welfare babies would have to stay in the US, but retirement, military retirement is fine.
Hey Kevin! whats up brother.. Im just gonna make videos man. Whatever that entails.. Hope you hang out with me which ever way the Journey takes us - Joey
Political theater: you called it exactly what it is, Joey. Theater that is a brew of fear, hate and division cooked up by outside forces. "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword". To separate the sheep from the goats. This is all necessary in human and earth evolution. Thanks for posting on this touchy subject.
Thanks for your previous update about the situation with your dad. I have my parents and we are dealing with these things as well but I’m pretty sure we have some dementia issues. I will keep following you and watch whatever you post whenever you post it! God bless.
a big problem as i see it is no one or at least a large amount of people have no tolerance for some one else opinion....love everything you do joey......thank you
I do feel something is brewing and I think it’s easy to say let’s divide it up like the gentlemen were thinking. But you came up with good questions. My daughter and boyfriend talked about this once and we also were saying how will the resources be handled? I have never seen so much division in my 58 years.
If there is a division it will be urban VS rural. The rural areas are 99% of the country and the resources. The cities have most of the population, but they will self destruct when the power, food and water gets cut off. That is just my take on it.
However, the Urban areas are the majority and will fight for whatever they have to just like the people in the rural areas. They are also armed to the teeth.
@oe7096 I know very few city folk with firearms. I pray that it will never come to brother against brother again. It will take a week without food for the herd to thin out.
@@lynntaubeneck7383 Oh yes people in cities have fire arms. They may not "open carry" but many of them have them. In many parts of most large cities just about everyone has a gun.
The water shut off has possibly started. ruclips.net/video/BWkzUEFTCms/видео.htmlsi=dbRV5UBGbCmWHWiG Pumping fresh water to the ocean is another issue that been going on, causing man-made droughts in CA.
From my experience the people that work an run the produce there are from California? I met some engineers at a class they were from Yuma . On the food production side all were electrical engineers. Huge money in food but the water is a major issue in both states. Lots of dry wells in California.
Arizona and New Mexico is tough to call.. I heard these fellas saying they might stay independant .. I mean all of this was hypothetical talk.. i was just sitting in on it.. found it interesting but really i dont see it working.. - Joey
Hope your dad gets healthy enough to enjoy time with you! You can't go back... But it's SO refreshing hearing a discussion which doesn't devolve into left/right ideology, or how this or that politician is destroying America. Since I retired 6 years ago, we've traveled (motorhome) extensively. The most telling thing is everyone we've met have nearly the SAME dreams and desires! NO ONE has brought politics into the discussion... that's a dead end. No RELIGION... No POLITICS period! I just walk away. People are literally pumped full of 24/7 propaganda. The middle class has disappeared and the wealth gap (rising prices, falling wages) gets worse every day. That's NOT a political problem, it's a socio-economic problem. So yes I agree... this cannot spiral on forever... those who think so are uneducated and living in a dream world. I love your channel Joey! Keep up the great messaging... and EXCELLENT job keeping it non-political.
Dealing mainly in the resources Joey mostly talks about, water along the Colorado River watershed, I'd say conflict is likely in that case. If Nevada's short on water, do you really think they'll willingly release water from the Hoover Dam to Arizona and California if they're drying up and facing death by dehydration? If Nevada and/or Arizona are withholding water in Lake Meade and other reservoirs upstream of that, would Arizona and/or California meekly dry up and die? The answer is No to both. Survival instincts will kick in and water wars will be a likely outcome, especially as there's more demand for water then that watershed can provide. Unless the supply of water in that watershed increases, alternate watersheds can be developed or the demand decreases, conflict over dwindling water is almost inevitable. Then there's the Middle states siphoning off water to flow East of the Rockies, which Joey himself brought up in some of his videos last year. Will Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and California stand for that when THEIR watershed's already on short supply as it is? Will the Middle America states willingly give up a water source in landlocked states? The answer again is likely no. Again, another point of conflict, which could unite the Colorado Watershed states against a common foe, and draw in their allies in Washington and Oregon. Then again, there's huge chunks of Oregon that are politically opposed to Urban Oregon, who would likely join a red state like Idaho, giving the Middle States access to the Pacific Coast if the Oregon separatist movement gained ground in such turmoil, and turn the lands north and south of that land bridge to the coast into exclaves to each other. Does that divide Northern Oregon in the Portland area and Washington into a separate "Cascadia" nation, leaving the SW to stand alone? Does that serve as another trigger point for war as the West Coast fights to reclaim that land bridge and make their land territory contiguous? Would the Middle America nation give up Pacific access without a fight in that event? Does Washington State in that case petition to join Canada as a new Province, seeking access to Canadian resources? Does the Portland area of Oregon also make such a petition, or join Washington in a new State and become a province together? That could be the most peaceful solution for the NW as they get separated from US politics and get the considerable Canadian resources, but where does that leave the middle and SW? Do separatist protest joining Canada giving raise to a west coast separatist movement muck like the Canadian Quebecois movement that started in the 70s? And what happens to California if inland, rural Cali decides to separate from California and stick with the USA or Middle America or go it alone? Does Mexico end up swallowing up any of those broken remnants in that case, in a reclamation of some of their old, historical territory? That doesn't even address division of military assets. So many questions and dependencies. So many chances for chaos and conflict.
@@VegasDtechI have been reading some of the comments from folks who are responding to your video. Did you know you had such intelligent, thought provoking viewers?! This is GREAT! I know you're on a good path here. Keep up the good work! And I'm sorry about your Father. I went through similar with my dad, who was also a WWII veteran. My mom will be 100 years old on March 25, I take care of her here at home. She says the same thing, she can't believe the scenes of blight and poverty here in our own country. Peace, Evelyn
Joey, That's a interesting perspective on the possible future of the US. Yes the idea of a civil war 2.0 was pretty much unthinkable several years ago, these days with the political division now, it may be inevitable, or maybe that would be a big messy emergency valve release.
Well you already got slightly devided States. But from my view I don’t feel you’re gonna have a revolution. As for your Channel just roll with it and do what you can and what you feel. You’re pretty balanced and unbiased so I can handle your presentation.✅😎
Never going to happen. There is way too much deeply invested in the simple things in life that depend on our large free trade area: power, prestige and money.
You are so right! We, USA, are one of the most, if not the most, capitalist country on earth. We have benefited enormously having the interwoven connections of business in all 50 states. Too much money has been invested nationally in order to benefit consumers of all states. The SS, Medicare, USDA, FDA and all those gov services that we have paid for with our Federal taxes have gotten us used to have a strong Federal government.
The Texas Constitution is the only one that can by treaty (with the approval from the Speaker of the House) leave the Union. This will never happen but there is something else Texas can do. It can break itself up into 5 or 6 different states. I doubt this ever happens but Texas is tired of working and paying billions a year to D.C. only to go further into debt with little return from Washington. And, flooding Texas with eligals that the state doesn't have the resources to maintain. Luckily several other states are sending down state police to help do what border petrol should be doing. The aim of the Biden administration is to register as many motor voters as possible and have them vote although they legally can't. Besides, they are already illegally in the Country. Even the State of Nevada is beginning to rethink Joe Biden and his ideology. The left has simply gone off the rails and everyone knows it.
Wow.. appreciate the comment it was interesting hearing these Retired Veterans at the VA facility talking about this and I knew people had different views and opinions about the topic especially how would the resources get split fairly
Texas is going to be a wasteland soon, if it's not already. Look on Google Earth. The pictures we see are not current. There are drill points every square mile, across the state of Texas and a few other states. Do we really need all those oil rigs? In the middle of San Diego, on public lands, they are drilling. Near Santa Barbara too. It's been proven that fossil fuels are killing us and the Planet. They know how to make real clean energy now, but the scientist who invented shale extraction has admitted that franking is one of the worst things we can do to this Planet. He says we haven't seen anything yet. He compared his regrets for making the procedure for franking, to how Einstein felt about the H-Bomb that took Hiroshima. No matter what, we have to take care of the only Planet we have. We have to take care of people too! No matter where they are from. Criminals can go back where they came from, but true Christians don't turn their backs on people in need. If our country can spend $200 Billion a year to kill people in wars, we can afford to feed those in need. To think, we just got our first Trillionair, the most Billionairs, and thousands and thousands of Millionaires, and there are still hungry, homeless people out there. This hate and division needs to stop too. I'm so glad I am from Vegas. I was raised with diversity from the start. Vegas has every walk of life there. Thank You for keeping it real. It's about Humanity and doing the right thing.
I’m sorry what you going through with your father. I’ve been there and done that a couple of years ago with both my parents. Not enjoyable. It is a burden of love. Yes I do know. Keep at it. No matter how difficult it is you will feel stronger and think better of yourself when that time comes. Stay strong.
First of all..thank you so much for your time and effort during your tough time. We're all thinking about you. I'd add, I'm not sure about the country division. Although, here in Texas where I've grown up all my life, can't say I'm totally against returning to our Republic Of Texas.
My feelings are this. We have much more in common than we think. IMO, China and Russia would love to see America fall. We need to stand strong. We can't be divided or we will fall. How do we fight a civil war and Russia and China? That would not be good. WW3 is closer than ever. We need to close our borders and strengthen our military asap. Just my opinion:)
These are great insights.. And I love building upon comments like this with rational thinking not shouting and fighting... - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
It's way more likely we'll have a New American Revolution and all the states will remain the way they are and life will get better. Think positive and remain positive. Bless your father. Sorry to hear about yours and his situation. Keep your head up man.
Food for thought. I live in NE Oklahoma just off the state lines of Kansas, Missouri, & Arkansas. Over the last few years at the state lines they’ve installed roundabouts on the county highways that parallel the interstates. Make of it what you will, but when they built them they plumbed the concrete center islands with full utilities & they’re nothing but a curbing around a concrete island.
Wierd... why would they put roudabouts in those places? We have them here in areas where the could use a stop light but dont really want to build them.. - Joey
Joey, the distributions of red or blue aren't by state. None are completely red or blue. Generally, the higher the population density the more blue they are and lower density tend to be red. I don't see any path to states breaking up. Look at the resources. like the Colorado river. If Utah and Arizona decided to stop releasing water, it would be a disaster for those down river. California's agriculture would be devastated! There are millions of these issues that really just can't be easily resolved. I think when it gets right down to it, there's no way that can be worked out. Too much paperwork!!! While California is the largest producer of food, it's also the largest consumer. Many other states produce a lot of food, so I doubt food supplies would be much of an issue. It's an interesting topic, and i may be wrong. But i hope not...
I think the key to your comments is in the resource piece of it which is why I began to follow you in the first place. Consider the houses you are walking past as you speak. Those people have tremendous buy-in to preserve the status quo. If you suddenly remove water and those half million dollar plus properties become worthless, THEN the owners will have a real motivation to fight to change the system. Until conditions affect people personally and profoundly, they will not have a reason to take up arms. In addition, our legal system in the U.S. makes it nearly impossible for states to secede so I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about that.
Sadly Caliofrnia has gone down hill the last few years. Two years in a row budget shortfalls. Business & people are leaving in groves. We are highly taxed to death & inflation isn't really going down & our middle class is dying & on life support. Homelessness you can see caravans from one side of the state to the next & some of the citys have been litterally turned into dumps thanks to people poorly running those cities. As for crops we should not be growing a good portion of hte crops we do now especially the ones that rely heavilly on water like almonds & some other crops that simply make no sense in growing here . 95 percent of our water goes to crops & the state gov wants to blame people for the issues when we have a drought . A lot of the laws being passed the last few years are pretty much slowly killing the state.
Joey, Canada is closer to disintegration than United States. I see four or five countries from Canada and the United States breaking into North South strips like Cascadia (BC down to California) Central and Mountain time oil land zones, the Midwest with Ontario and Quebec and the US Eastern and Atlantic time zones as the British colonies with the 13 colonies and then northern boreal forest with the Cree and Inuit peoples including the Canadian Territories and Alaska. That arctic country would likely become part of China or Russia after some time.. The best thing would to maintain the trading and protection block though! In my East Coast city in what was almost the 14th colony, we have 2 vertical farms in old 1950's office structurers. I bet other cities can do the same as my city spills 1 to 2 million barrels of potable water per day from our reservoir. I feel we can replace California and make jobs here where they should be!. In Halifax, NS, there is a vertical farm that fills30 cargo jets to Europe per month with prepared bagged salads!
Well at one time New England states use to get alot of it's produce from Florida, and many thing use to be grown up in upper State New York, Maine still has it's lumber. Plus the New England States have plenty of water. And yes the US is slowing being divided, which is a same.,, I hope your Dad is doing better, and you gotr all what is needed straighten out,, Keep doing what you are doing.
I would absolutely love to see this happen. I wouldn't foresee resources being an issue - each territory would adapt accordingly. Some would fail, while others thrive. Certain territories will need to put a cap on their population - no net new until someone leaves it. Let's do this!!
Hey brother thanks for dropping me a comment.. Im just concerned as I believe all Americans should be in one way or another.. Appreciate your comment - Joey
Praying your Pops rests easy. Also you and you're family the best wishes, as always. Love you're content man. As for the U.S. we are screwed by the greedy devil leaders and 1%ers. Greed and power has taken over life as we know it. DRAIN THE SWAP! WE NEED TO TAKE A STAND TOGETHER there is more of us working class than any other. I grew up in Cali, left to Az, ran from Az when cali moved in. Now in Texas, sadly there are no brains or a stable infrastructure in the south. There probably isnt a state thats a good place to live. America is full of evil and freeloaders now and that aspect is only getting worse. No one is safe if you really think about it. Work work work, to support the lazy and evil governments till we die.
Love the walk and talks! I’m a veteran from NJ and in Vegas this weekend for a similar family event. Our natural resources are being targeted! I also believe that a civil war is about to happen and we actually need it to fix this
It will never work Joey. Good luck with your health care for your father your eyes for wha t you see will shock you. Good you are there for your parents. Hang in there keep doing the vids it will help you mentally.
Hi Joey, happy you are taking care of your father. I believe we had a great leader in President Donald Trump. I believe which way this Nation that I love will depend on the next election. I have a great pension but the inflation is making it difficult. My wife and I do have a plan B. I hate to see the division going on in our country. Let us hope for the best in the next election cycle. We are going in the wrong direction, we need a correction. Best regards.
Very interesting thought about "division". I don't think that the movement of resources has been really considered by those "divisionists". It could result in "blockades" to keep movement of resources between the east and west. Texas has been the most vocal state about leaving the union.
Yeah they have spoken about that for a while now. but the deployment of National guard and Border patrol having to undo one another because they are ordered against one another - I dont like the sound of this - Joey
I wouldn't blame them, They were the only sovereign country to join the union and now they are defending their own border as the US government is not following the constitution and protecting our borders!
Very True... I dont believe this could happen realistically because of the resources.. There would still be power pieces in the game and this would not pan out well in my opinion but interesting to hear peoples thoughts - Joey
Thanks, Joey. Now you're in my world. If what you say happens, Canada will not buy Alaska. We have no gold - we have no voice and are very close to CBDC in Canada. Canada will be split one way or another between the US of whatever it may be and Russia whatever it may be. Our natural resources are important - people are not. Be prepared, not scared. Best to your father - my mother is in long term care and fortunately being well treated. You've mentioned many times that you lean red from comments. We can't help give our worldview when being honest. Glad to see the water rising finally.
Being from Texas and 63 years old and see a lot of division in the country. If there any case of it, when Gov. Abbott define the National Border Patrol and took over Eagle Pass and shut down the crossing. Then 17 states join with Texas to send their Guard to help expand the border shut down. Crazy times!
The average age of empires, according to a specialist on the subject, the late Sir John Bagot Glubb, is 250 years. After that, empires always die, often slowly but overwhelmingly from overreaching in the search for power. The America of 1776 will reach its 250th year in 2026.
A few people are focusing on a few differences. And there are some who are fueling the fire of division and profiting off of the chaos. We have more in common then we have differences. Would states mint their own money? Would laws be so different that we would have borders between states or territories and we'd have to go through checkpoints to travel? We'd have to begin carrying our passports with us to cross a border like between East and West Germany? Or borders would just become closed???? Would the interstate road system be divided and the maintainence of it become the responsibility of the individual territories? What about power distribution systems? Would they stop at territorial lines?
Absolutely correct! those were my thoughts entirely thats why i brought up the division of resources because it would all come down to that right there.. Thank you so much! - Joey
"A house divided against itself can not stand". "Divide and conquer". Those are two things that I see happening more and more in both Canada and the United States of America. I wonder if we are seeing the start of the fall of our civilization?
Here in Redding, CA area...Check out "The State of Jefferson" which almost happened in Calif but Japan attack in Hawaii stopped it from happening due to the state being busy with other things.
Instead of listening to mankind who got us in this predicament, listen to God's Words that have always come true. Jeremiah 10:23 says man cannot direct his steps...TRUE. Ecclesiastes says man has dominated man to his injury...TRUE. Daniel 2:44 says that God's Kingdom, or God's heavenly government, will do away with all human government soon. Even Jesus said at Luke 4:5 that human governments belong to Satan....and that is why we are in the mess we are. By means of God and his government, not mankind's governments, soon Psalms 37:9-11 will be fulfilled. The wicked with be gone and mankind will have an abundance of peace, forver! TRUE!!!❤
I live in Texas and here are the facts about our state. The same size as France. We have oil, gas, deep water ports, cattle, agriculture, and power generation; enough to sustain our population. Two major international airlines call Texas home. Texas could stand alone as an independent country, I am not advocating this but it could sustain itself. If this country broke into territories there would be "international" trade between them and, as noted, plenty of disagreements over water. I would hate to see this happen but we are in uncharged waters right now.
Hi Joey! Put your trust and faith in God and you will find comfort instead of anxiety or fear. What the US is experiencing now was planned years and years ago! Divide and conquer! It is in these times that we can make a positive difference! Live only for the day you are in and find peace and happiness! As always, I enjoy your podcasts! And don’t worry about the “politics” of it! We are all able to have opinions!
Bu the way Joe my brother work for tge V/A here in Buffalo.If you need anything reguarding questions about your Dads health care.He'd be happy to help:)
It’s funny, if you watch the news every day, you may feel like the country is divided. However, walking around in everyday life, I never feel that way. Conclusion…quit watching the news.
I’ve always said if the politicians of this country wanted to solve the problems of this country they would they just don’t want to. Because no one wants to negotiate
Your friends' theory could tear my state, Pennsylvania, apart. The densely populated Southeastern quadrant is blue, but because of the agricultural nature of Lancaster Berks and other semi-rural counties not dark blue. The rest of the state, from the Northeast all the way to Pittsburg, is considered part of the rust belt, although some manufacturing still exists there. Pennsylvania accesses the Atlantic Ocean by the Delaware River ports in and around Philadelphia, the great lakes network via the port of Erie, and the Mississippi River system via Pittsburg and other Ohio River ports. The Southeastern leftists would probably want Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Berks and Delaware counties to secede from Pennsylvania and probably merge with New Jersey or Delaware. . . . I'd like to hear about other states that would probably break up, such as Oregon is already talking about. So please reply and keep this discussion going.
Matthew 12:25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
We are only strong if we stand together, if we get divided and turn on each other then it's over as a nation. God bless America and everyone out there 😊
United States of America Arkansas has been known to be only state that needs no other to survive. Arkansas has only diamond mine, but also oil, agriculture, lithium, gold, oil. Not choosing a certain state. Just little knowledge I heard. I think you found you new videos keep it up lake Meade rising let's move to other topics. Love hearing your on RUclips 👍
Hey thanks for your support. Hope people dont flame me for trying to research other topics of interests.. Lake Mead is just (1) of many important issues that hope to be able to shen a light on - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Kind of hard to split into 2 countries when the Red and Blue states are not joined to each other And as you say everything is tied to the US government and i am not sure about the resources,military etc. I am from and living in Northern Pacifica and If it ever were to split ,I will be moving to Texas or Florida!
Hey Danno' Many people are saying the same thing as you.. Must be a good reason those states keep getting called upon.. Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Never voted and would take a bullet to my temple before doing so. Doesn't sound like those guys understand who's pulling their strings because he owns both ideologies. Fear is the only tool that system has, unfiltered thought is the best thing a person has. The sources of the border videos like x,look at the investor's not the ceo. The investor's are who controls what is posted ESPECIALLY when it comes to fear and division. Always enjoy your videos. To each their own, the way it should be 🤞 Terribly sorry about your father, much love Joey 🤗
The retired veterans have a lot of time to think for sure. As much thought I have given to the subject matter of America becoming divided in territory aspects I don’t think it will become reality. I will use myself as an example. As a proud Texan I would like to believe I/we as a Sovereign independent country would be better off given the current political climate but after deep thought I don’t think it will ever happen to any state. The U.S. government is responsible for so many Americans aspects of life most could not have it stop. What do I mean? I as a Texan would not receive Social Security nor any Veteran benefits along with other benefits that the USA provides. Too many to list. Will people be ok with this? As we know from the American civil war things went from bad to worse during the war. There will be violence and turbulence to come but that is what will make us stronger and more united. Something to think about
A lot is at stake leading up to the 2024 presidential election, and many people are tired of not being heard while Washington, D.C. seems to do as it pleases. There is a movement in independent journalism to change the political culture, and more people are becoming aware of what's happening politically. Many are moving away from states like California, which has contributed to the significant growth of cities like Las Vegas. Our society is currently very fragile, and it wouldn't take much to trigger a major conflict. We have a duplicate of the 2020 election, expect to see some wild stuff go on.
Being from Alaska, I don't think there's much chance of it being sold...way too many natural resources. Also, I doubt that Idaho, or even east Oregon, want to be associated with Pacifica. Since we have States, we kind of already have territories, the federal government is just as likely to take away the rights of the territories as they are doing to the states.
Hawaii was forcefully overthrown by the U.S. government. The native Hawaiian people don’t want to remain part of the U.S. The “Haole guests” can leave to the continent if they want.
I always see Defend Hawaii stickers on Hawaiian trucks... How did Hawaii become So Blue? Unless the Locals see things differently than the politicians that run the Islands.. Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
@@VegasDtechHawaii became “blue” from infiltration of communist longshoremen’s union (Harry Bridges) in the 1940’s, which eventually lead to Democrat total control of the State. Native Hawaiians are predominantly Libertarian Party voters ( I was surprised when I read that statistic), thus virtually no political influence in Hawaii government. I’m Native Hawaiian living in Pahrump, and my family are cowboys on the Big Island. I know a lot Hawaiian history, but I wouldn’t want to live there! To many pretender Hawaiians to be around, plus too expensive to live.
@@robertfansler7800 Hey Robert' how do you like it in Pahrump bro.. was it hard to transition from the Islands to the desert? - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
@@VegasDtechHi Joey, I was born in Hawaii as my father was a Pearl Harbor survivor. So I spent my toddler years on various Navy bases until my father retired from the Navy and wanted to return to the “farm life” away from the sea. So I basically grew up in Northern California in the wine country. I only came to Pahrump in 2015 because of work requirements, but I miss the agriculture and redwoods of Sonoma County.
Very interesting points of thought on our strangely lacking in cohesive and congruent directives and machinations that as you noted have kinda silently evolved.....my norm also is to not be politically directed...yet so many events have dramatically come into focus in and involving our country around the world that reactions to these many and varied problems have been noticably quite different....and within our American spectrum geographic local plays a strong part....these ideas and theories in play are parallel to thoughts I've muttered to myself (and a few others of course) because the variations have become more noticeable.... seems as though perhaps a marginally cohesive group agreement on structured social order may no longer become possible.... anyway supply chain necessities and demands would and could still be the means of adhesion to prevent acts of civil war....Keep on working negatives into positive possibilities friend and hats off to all the wonderful veterans and their inciteful views
The problem about a disolution of the union is that the money is on the coasts. Those states currently support the south if you look at the amount that each state both provides in tax revenue, and receives from the feds. I think there are plenty of people on the coasts who would love to keep their money local. Imagine Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana getting hammered by hurricanes, and there is no federal government to bail them out. I would expect the south and middle america to become 2nd world theocracies within one generation. I mean look at Alabama where an egg is now considered a human. Good luck to them all.
Separation of states is mostly idle talk. The real problem with the state of the union is the American Empire. Events in Ukraine and Palestine are causing the collapse of this empire. Which is a good thing. It may halt the spending of billions on foreign projects and put our money to work for the American people. We may return to the Constitutional republic of the Founders. They said you can either have a republic or an empire. But not both. America first! (From a soldier who saw how empire works in Vietnam.)
@VegasDtech hey Joey, here is the way I see things I'm not old but I'm 50. The way I see it going is not necessarily a breakup into territories but still a united states, resources and availability would depend on how those that control it will handle it.what I mean is this, say for instance a particular state aligns one way and another state aligns another and those states decide they do not want to do commerce with said states, then what? it may not necessarily be red, blue, big brother, big tech, big pharma or whatever it is motivated by, but it may be that one state that controls something may not wish to do commerce with whatever product they have or control. so then what? do they find that same resource elsewhere or do they try to get it by other means, or do they try to steal it etc. The way I see things headed is not so much politically in nature but more of a God thing. if you are a believer and you know then you know. I just see how things are racially, politically and how bad things have become, this is what they want, to make America divided. I for one don't see that happening. I see the USA staying as a whole, however, with that said things will be a bit more pricey, and a bit harder to get, but, you will still be able to get what you need. I believe in being prepared, stock pile stuff thats necessary, food, water, rations, security items, etc. Not everyone will see it this way, but, thats how I see things. Do what is necessary for you and your family, prepare, stockup on items that you think will be valuable to you and your family and you will be fine.
I think I have too much invested in Social Security to want to risk loosing retirement over political division destroying our country. What would happen to the dollar? And being able to just have a good life like we have had. Seems to risky to destroy all that over ideology. Just my thoughts as you asked.
You’re going to loose Social Security anyway by 2035, as the Social Security trust fund will be out of money by then. There are not enough younger generations paying into it to keep it solvent.
All I can say about this - I am glad that I am old. The changes that have occurred in my 73 years on this earth are astounding. Definitely I feel much unrest in this country. I live in Texas - so who knows 🤠
73 years! Sir you have so much wisdom and memories under your belt... I can only imagine the way the current state of this country looks to you today.... Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Hi Joey, sorry about your father. I also wanted to tell you that even tho your not at Lake Mead much, please keep doing your 'walk-n-talks'. Yes we (as Americans) are facing an unknown time right now, I like listening to all you do & say because your a rational, compassionate person, and I find that comforting, and look forward to your next videos! God Bless....
Wow! Thank you for leaving me that awesome comment.. I plan on doing more walk-N-talks because it seems people like that format.. just cruising around the neighborhood so I will keep doing more of it' - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Hey Joey, interesting subject. Sad to say that I've never felt a bigger divide in this country in my 61 years! Many reasons for it, but what we're really missing is someone at the head of the table - a real Leader - to give everyone a general direction that most people will agree with. Otherwise, the population will be broken off and controlled by various factions, whether it's red or blue, or big media, or billionaire tech bros. It really doesn't feel like the "United States" anymore...more like the "Divided States of America".
Hey Mike' I agree man because I heard these gentle man with over 8 decades of wisdom speaking kindly about this subject and I felt the pain in their hearts at the state of affairs that we are in right now.. - just nice to hear perspectives from us average folks out here. - JOey
💯% agree I've got a few more years. I live in the middle of silicone valley. It's changed so much is unrecognizable.
@@VegasDtech Joey my sister and I are not as old as the 80 yr olds but getting there. We were talking about the same thing today. We can hardly talk about the disappointment we both feel about the state of this country. There is blame to go around but most of it falls on one side. I won't be here that long, but I can't even imagine what will be going on 25 years from now. SMH daily.
@@karenkoe7096 Yup, agreed. In a little over 25 yrs, when I get there, I'll tell u all about it. We'll be sad together. It's like watching a bad movie, that's happening for real.
The "Elephant" in the room are the "Outside powers" that have been actively dividing our great country from within. This has been going on and forecasted for decades. It's time to hit these guys head on, fight back, and expose them for what and who they are. Don't forget that our founders stated that "We the People" are what our country is all about. Not "They the Billionair's and Big Corp". "We the People need to remain United WE Stand". And stop the bickering.
Hope your journey with your father goes well and that Lake Meade rises from the Shallows!
The time to separate the union is close. A majority of the country will never except a man can be a woman, a border should be open and a government can print money at will.
They crossed the line when they came for the children. They have started a fire they now can't put out. We all understand elections and our vote no longer counts. This is now far beyond being corrected by voting. Time for plan B.
tRUMP increased our National Debt by over 7 trillion. So which party do you see as fiscally responsible?
YOU are part of the problem.
Good to see you Joey.👍🏻 Hope your dad is doing well and gets settled in soon and finds some new friends there.
Me too. I want that so much for him. - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
@@VegasDtech You're welcome 🙏🏻
Great topic! I've thought this country has been heading towards a revolt for a while. I think we need to see what will happen after this election. I'm glad you're not a political channel, per se, but it's good to have calm, mature adult discussions as to how we NEED TO PROTECT OUR RESOURCES. Had you heard that China has been buying farmland here? Anyone else hear that, too? I'm concerned with our youth, (another resource), and how they are NOT LEARNING ACADEMICALLY, including VALUES, MANNERS, RESPECT. Good ideas, Joey, I have been following you since the Lake Mead issues. Keep up the good work. From L.A., California
Shortly before my father-in-law passed away, he and I had a conversation about the direction the country was going. He served on the USS Wichita and the USS Boston during WWII. He said that this was not the country that he had fought for during the war! He said to look to Venezuela to see how we were going to be taken down. I've been doing a lot of research lately and was surprised to see a lot of similarities in what is taking place!
Venezuela huh? I hear that from all Veterans..
Its sad because of everything those folks have sacrificed for this country... They should be pround that their service stood for something good. Thanks Susan' Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
@@VegasDtech You are welcome, Joey! Love your videos!
Problem is, we don't have anywhere to flee to, like them. I'm in Canada and this place is a mess. No free speech or 2nd amendment here. Self defense, forget about it. If it doesn't stop, there will be nowhere to go.
The tension and division is strong. Im in SoCal and have left twice, only to end up coming back. My entire family is here. I dont align with most of this state. But I feel Im supposed to be here to fight the good fight. Im finding there are a lot of folks like me here who want to see this state return to a more even keel. We're not all Blue. Not by a long shot. Keep up the talk and walks Joey, and stay strong. Your dad still needs you.
Hay hay hay love your channel. ❤❤❤❤ you gotta get to 100K. ❤❤😊😊
Hi Michelle.. Thats why im back and trying to keep the videos coming .. Thank you so much for your kindness' - Joey
Joey, America is a melting pot of different cultures. As patriotic Americans, we need to continue to embrace the melting pot identity and redefine America's priorities of respect and equality. United we stand stronger!
The ignorance and bigotry that is roiling among middle-class Americans seem to be being stoked by entities outside the mainstream. These entities that have this divisive agenda want to weaken and control the middle class. As Americans, we need to focus on these outside interests and come to an understanding of who would profit from the demise of our great nation.
The problem is people surround themselves with people who agree with what they want to hear. It's an echo chamber for rhetoric. If they actually went themselves to see what's actually going on it would be very eye opening. It's hard to avoid this subject right now but as someone who was born and raised in California and has lived in Tennessee for nearly 20 years, I gotta say they're both doing things wrong. One side is weak and the other is full of narcissists. You can't help everyone whether they want it or not to the point of your own demise and you can't tell people that they can't tell you what to do while actively trying to tell everyone else what to do. It's a time we all need to take a step back and reevaluate our lives and the country we want to leave to our children. If we don't snap out of it soon China won't only be making our lunch they'll be eating it too!
Wow! great comment - this is the stuff i wanted to hear.. real opinions from real people .. not filtered media - Thank you - Joey
Yes! Excellently said! Hey, Joey, I think you're on to something good here.
Welfare, disability, and social security recipients will never vote their States out of the Union. Too much money involved for everybody on both sides for either to seperate.
Very good point! Thank you for this comment - Joey
I doubt if the people that are advocating this state or that state to secede from the US (I think Texas is one) ever even think about that aspect of it. That said, there are a few that I wish would go but it will never happen.
SS is an earned benefit and you can get it anywhere in the world. Now drug addicts on SS disability is dependent on living in the US. So, all the federal welfare babies would have to stay in the US, but retirement, military retirement is fine.
Keep those’s walks coming! Fellow military brat here! Stay strong!

Hey Kevin! whats up brother.. Im just gonna make videos man. Whatever that entails.. Hope you hang out with me which ever way the Journey takes us - Joey
@@VegasDtech I like you talking about real life things about your dad and family
Political theater: you called it exactly what it is, Joey. Theater that is a brew of fear, hate and division cooked up by outside forces. "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword". To separate the sheep from the goats. This is all necessary in human and earth evolution. Thanks for posting on this touchy subject.
Yes, agree

A good walk n talk today. Beautiful neighborhood over there
War is the lack of knowledge to do something productive. 💜
I do feel something is brewing and I think it’s easy to say let’s divide it up like the gentlemen were thinking. But you came up with good questions. My daughter and boyfriend talked about this once and we also were saying how will the resources be handled?
I have never seen so much division in my 58 years.
If there is a division it will be urban VS rural. The rural areas are 99% of the country and the resources. The cities have most of the population, but they will self destruct when the power, food and water gets cut off. That is just my take on it.
However, the Urban areas are the majority and will fight for whatever they have to just like the people in the rural areas. They are also armed to the teeth.
@oe7096 I know very few city folk with firearms. I pray that it will never come to brother against brother again. It will take a week without food for the herd to thin out.
@@lynntaubeneck7383 Oh yes people in cities have fire arms. They may not "open carry" but many of them have them. In many parts of most large cities just about everyone has a gun.
The water shut off has possibly started.
ruclips.net/video/BWkzUEFTCms/видео.htmlsi=dbRV5UBGbCmWHWiG
Pumping fresh water to the ocean is another issue that been going on, causing man-made droughts in CA.
@@Mickey-jo1hf Water has been flowing into the ocean since the beginning of time. The drought in California was NOT man made.
Very interesting, but you forgot Yuma, Az and the 90% produce that is grown here. What territory would we fit into?
From my experience the people that work an run the produce there are from California? I met some engineers at a class they were from Yuma . On the food production side all were electrical engineers. Huge money in food but the water is a major issue in both states. Lots of dry wells in California.
Arizona and New Mexico is tough to call.. I heard these fellas saying they might stay independant ..
I mean all of this was hypothetical talk.. i was just sitting in on it.. found it interesting but really i dont see it working.. - Joey
@@VegasDtech ...if you Iook at the FEMA regions, AZ is connected to CA, and NM is connected to TX.
Hope your dad gets healthy enough to enjoy time with you! You can't go back...
But it's SO refreshing hearing a discussion which doesn't devolve into left/right ideology, or how this or that politician is destroying America. Since I retired 6 years ago, we've traveled (motorhome) extensively. The most telling thing is everyone we've met have nearly the SAME dreams and desires! NO ONE has brought politics into the discussion... that's a dead end. No RELIGION... No POLITICS period! I just walk away.
People are literally pumped full of 24/7 propaganda. The middle class has disappeared and the wealth gap (rising prices, falling wages) gets worse every day. That's NOT a political problem, it's a socio-economic problem. So yes I agree... this cannot spiral on forever... those who think so are uneducated and living in a dream world.
I love your channel Joey! Keep up the great messaging... and EXCELLENT job keeping it non-political.
We have a lot of problems, The sleeper cells are mor worrisome to me. And the lack of food that is coming.
Yes, food shortages are going to occur, we're already eating fake food, aren't we?
Dealing mainly in the resources Joey mostly talks about, water along the Colorado River watershed, I'd say conflict is likely in that case. If Nevada's short on water, do you really think they'll willingly release water from the Hoover Dam to Arizona and California if they're drying up and facing death by dehydration? If Nevada and/or Arizona are withholding water in Lake Meade and other reservoirs upstream of that, would Arizona and/or California meekly dry up and die? The answer is No to both. Survival instincts will kick in and water wars will be a likely outcome, especially as there's more demand for water then that watershed can provide. Unless the supply of water in that watershed increases, alternate watersheds can be developed or the demand decreases, conflict over dwindling water is almost inevitable.
Then there's the Middle states siphoning off water to flow East of the Rockies, which Joey himself brought up in some of his videos last year. Will Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and California stand for that when THEIR watershed's already on short supply as it is? Will the Middle America states willingly give up a water source in landlocked states? The answer again is likely no. Again, another point of conflict, which could unite the Colorado Watershed states against a common foe, and draw in their allies in Washington and Oregon. Then again, there's huge chunks of Oregon that are politically opposed to Urban Oregon, who would likely join a red state like Idaho, giving the Middle States access to the Pacific Coast if the Oregon separatist movement gained ground in such turmoil, and turn the lands north and south of that land bridge to the coast into exclaves to each other. Does that divide Northern Oregon in the Portland area and Washington into a separate "Cascadia" nation, leaving the SW to stand alone?
Does that serve as another trigger point for war as the West Coast fights to reclaim that land bridge and make their land territory contiguous? Would the Middle America nation give up Pacific access without a fight in that event? Does Washington State in that case petition to join Canada as a new Province, seeking access to Canadian resources? Does the Portland area of Oregon also make such a petition, or join Washington in a new State and become a province together? That could be the most peaceful solution for the NW as they get separated from US politics and get the considerable Canadian resources, but where does that leave the middle and SW? Do separatist protest joining Canada giving raise to a west coast separatist movement muck like the Canadian Quebecois movement that started in the 70s?
And what happens to California if inland, rural Cali decides to separate from California and stick with the USA or Middle America or go it alone? Does Mexico end up swallowing up any of those broken remnants in that case, in a reclamation of some of their old, historical territory?
That doesn't even address division of military assets.
So many questions and dependencies. So many chances for chaos and conflict.
Wow Wow! WOW! what an amazing comment! Thank you so much brother! A lot of good reading in there - Joey

Love you Joey. Sorry about your dad. Walk abouts are great! "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" 🙁
I misss your show but understand what you have to deal with. Do what what you need to do. It is ok.
Joey,
That's a interesting perspective on the possible future of the US. Yes the idea of a civil war 2.0 was pretty much unthinkable several years ago, these days with the political division now, it may be inevitable, or maybe that would be a big messy emergency valve release.
Well you already got slightly devided States. But from my view I don’t feel you’re gonna have a revolution. As for your Channel just roll with it and do what you can and what you feel. You’re pretty balanced and unbiased so I can handle your presentation.✅😎
Never going to happen. There is way too much deeply invested in the simple things in life that depend on our large free trade area: power, prestige and money.
Thats been my feeling.. but for sure things need to
seriously get better and both parties have to be on board with it to work...
You are so right! We, USA, are one of the most, if not the most, capitalist country on earth. We have benefited enormously having the interwoven connections of business in all 50 states. Too much money has been invested nationally in order to benefit consumers of all states. The SS, Medicare, USDA, FDA and all those gov services that we have paid for with our Federal taxes have gotten us used to have a strong Federal government.
The Texas Constitution is the only one that can by treaty (with the approval from the Speaker of the House) leave the Union. This will never happen but there is something else Texas can do. It can break itself up into 5 or 6 different states. I doubt this ever happens but Texas is tired of working and paying billions a year to D.C. only to go further into debt with little return from Washington. And, flooding Texas with eligals that the state doesn't have the resources to maintain. Luckily several other states are sending down state police to help do what border petrol should be doing. The aim of the Biden administration is to register as many motor voters as possible and have them vote although they legally can't. Besides, they are already illegally in the Country. Even the State of Nevada is beginning to rethink Joe Biden and his ideology. The left has simply gone off the rails and everyone knows it.
A+++ in GOD/DESS WE HOPE, and Pray 🙏 for Texas 🙏 ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 😊 🙌
Wow.. appreciate the comment it was interesting hearing these Retired Veterans at the VA facility talking about this and I knew people had different views and opinions about the topic especially how would the resources get split fairly
Most if not all States getting more back than they put in are Red.
Texas is going to be a wasteland soon, if it's not already. Look on Google Earth. The pictures we see are not current. There are drill points every square mile, across the state of Texas and a few other states. Do we really need all those oil rigs? In the middle of San Diego, on public lands, they are drilling. Near Santa Barbara too. It's been proven that fossil fuels are killing us and the Planet. They know how to make real clean energy now, but the scientist who invented shale extraction has admitted that franking is one of the worst things we can do to this Planet. He says we haven't seen anything yet. He compared his regrets for making the procedure for franking, to how Einstein felt about the H-Bomb that took Hiroshima. No matter what, we have to take care of the only Planet we have. We have to take care of people too! No matter where they are from. Criminals can go back where they came from, but true Christians don't turn their backs on people in need. If our country can spend $200 Billion a year to kill people in wars, we can afford to feed those in need. To think, we just got our first Trillionair, the most Billionairs, and thousands and thousands of Millionaires, and there are still hungry, homeless people out there. This hate and division needs to stop too. I'm so glad I am from Vegas. I was raised with diversity from the start. Vegas has every walk of life there. Thank You for keeping it real. It's about Humanity and doing the right thing.
I’m sorry what you going through with your father. I’ve been there and done that a couple of years ago with both my parents. Not enjoyable. It is a burden of love. Yes I do know. Keep at it. No matter how difficult it is you will feel stronger and think better of yourself when that time comes. Stay strong.
Thanks Joey~~
First of all..thank you so much for your time and effort during your tough time. We're all thinking about you. I'd add, I'm not sure about the country division. Although, here in Texas where I've grown up all my life, can't say I'm totally against returning to our Republic Of Texas.
My feelings are this. We have much more in common than we think. IMO, China and Russia would love to see America fall. We need to stand strong. We can't be divided or we will fall. How do we fight a civil war and Russia and China? That would not be good. WW3 is closer than ever. We need to close our borders and strengthen our military asap. Just my opinion:)
These are great insights.. And I love building upon comments like this with rational thinking not shouting and fighting... - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
It's way more likely we'll have a New American Revolution and all the states will remain the way they are and life will get better. Think positive and remain positive. Bless your father. Sorry to hear about yours and his situation. Keep your head up man.
Food for thought. I live in NE Oklahoma just off the state lines of Kansas, Missouri, & Arkansas. Over the last few years at the state lines they’ve installed roundabouts on the county highways that parallel the interstates. Make of it what you will, but when they built them they plumbed the concrete center islands with full utilities & they’re nothing but a curbing around a concrete island.
Wierd... why would they put roudabouts in those places? We have them here in areas where the could use a stop light but dont really want to build them.. - Joey
@@VegasDtech That’s what makes it even more strange. All of these locations are basically in the middle of nowhere.
@@VegasDtech ...traffic C0NTR0L...keep your head on a *swiveI* and avoid them if something does not feeI right....
Joey, the distributions of red or blue aren't by state. None are completely red or blue. Generally, the higher the population density the more blue they are and lower density tend to be red. I don't see any path to states breaking up. Look at the resources. like the Colorado river. If Utah and Arizona decided to stop releasing water, it would be a disaster for those down river. California's agriculture would be devastated! There are millions of these issues that really just can't be easily resolved. I think when it gets right down to it, there's no way that can be worked out. Too much paperwork!!!
While California is the largest producer of food, it's also the largest consumer. Many other states produce a lot of food, so I doubt food supplies would be much of an issue.
It's an interesting topic, and i may be wrong. But i hope not...
…long way to go bro.
I think the key to your comments is in the resource piece of it which is why I began to follow you in the first place. Consider the houses you are walking past as you speak. Those people have tremendous buy-in to preserve the status quo. If you suddenly remove water and those half million dollar plus properties become worthless, THEN the owners will have a real motivation to fight to change the system. Until conditions affect people personally and profoundly, they will not have a reason to take up arms. In addition, our legal system in the U.S. makes it nearly impossible for states to secede so I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about that.
Sadly Caliofrnia has gone down hill the last few years. Two years in a row budget shortfalls. Business & people are leaving in groves. We are highly taxed to death & inflation isn't really going down & our middle class is dying & on life support. Homelessness you can see caravans from one side of the state to the next & some of the citys have been litterally turned into dumps thanks to people poorly running those cities. As for crops we should not be growing a good portion of hte crops we do now especially the ones that rely heavilly on water like almonds & some other crops that simply make no sense in growing here . 95 percent of our water goes to crops & the state gov wants to blame people for the issues when we have a drought . A lot of the laws being passed the last few years are pretty much slowly killing the state.
Joey, Canada is closer to disintegration than United States. I see four or five countries from Canada and the United States breaking into North South strips like Cascadia (BC down to California) Central and Mountain time oil land zones, the Midwest with Ontario and Quebec and the US Eastern and Atlantic time zones as the British colonies with the 13 colonies and then northern boreal forest with the Cree and Inuit peoples including the Canadian Territories and Alaska. That arctic country would likely become part of China or Russia after some time.. The best thing would to maintain the trading and protection block though!
In my East Coast city in what was almost the 14th colony, we have 2 vertical farms in old 1950's office structurers. I bet other cities can do the same as my city spills 1 to 2 million barrels of potable water per day from our reservoir. I feel we can replace California and make jobs here where they should be!. In Halifax, NS, there is a vertical farm that fills30 cargo jets to Europe per month with prepared bagged salads!
Who gets the Debt, Give it to Cascadia, EH!
Well at one time New England states use to get alot of it's produce from Florida, and many thing use to be grown up in upper State New York, Maine still has it's lumber. Plus the New England States have plenty of water. And yes the US is slowing being divided, which is a same.,, I hope your Dad is doing better, and you gotr all what is needed straighten out,, Keep doing what you are doing.
I would absolutely love to see this happen. I wouldn't foresee resources being an issue - each territory would adapt accordingly. Some would fail, while others thrive. Certain territories will need to put a cap on their population - no net new until someone leaves it. Let's do this!!
Very happy to see you're on the right side! We will definitely be watching ALL your videos from now on.
Hey brother thanks for dropping me a comment.. Im just concerned as I believe all Americans should be in one way or another.. Appreciate your comment - Joey
Praying your Pops rests easy. Also you and you're family the best wishes, as always. Love you're content man. As for the U.S. we are screwed by the greedy devil leaders and 1%ers. Greed and power has taken over life as we know it. DRAIN THE SWAP! WE NEED TO TAKE A STAND TOGETHER there is more of us working class than any other. I grew up in Cali, left to Az, ran from Az when cali moved in. Now in Texas, sadly there are no brains or a stable infrastructure in the south. There probably isnt a state thats a good place to live. America is full of evil and freeloaders now and that aspect is only getting worse. No one is safe if you really think about it. Work work work, to support the lazy and evil governments till we die.
Good stuff brother
Would be interested in your walk and talk it's different and it gave me a thought on things that I didn't really think about
Thanks... I always go for walks to help re center my mind from so much tv and computer.. Thanks for the comment - Joey
love ti,you did useful drone! Vegas,=)
Texas would fare the best, especially just going it alone.
Im sure they have a decent amount of resources in their state to be comfortable if that was their wish - Joey
The Declaration of Independence explains what was needed then and again now to restore the Republic 👍
Love the walk and talks! I’m a veteran from NJ and in Vegas this weekend for a similar family event. Our natural resources are being targeted! I also believe that a civil war is about to happen and we actually need it to fix this
👍Yes
It will never work Joey. Good luck with your health care for your father your eyes for wha t you see will shock you. Good you are there for your parents. Hang in there keep doing the vids it will help you mentally.
Thanks Dianne.. I agree with you.. division will never work.. My thoughts as well - Joey
Hi Joey, happy you are taking care of your father. I believe we had a great leader in President Donald Trump. I believe which way this Nation that I love will depend on the next election. I have a great pension but the inflation is making it difficult. My wife and I do have a plan B. I hate to see the division going on in our country. Let us hope for the best in the next election cycle. We are going in the wrong direction, we need a correction. Best regards.
Very interesting thought about "division". I don't think that the movement of resources has been really considered by those "divisionists". It could result in "blockades" to keep movement of resources between the east and west. Texas has been the most vocal state about leaving the union.
Yeah they have spoken about that for a while now. but the deployment of National guard and Border patrol having to undo one another because they are ordered against one another - I dont like the sound of this - Joey
I wouldn't blame them, They were the only sovereign country to join the union and now they are defending their own border as the US government is not following the constitution and protecting our borders!
And, if you are someone with assets which part would you prefer? That would affect a lot also.
Very True... I dont believe this could happen realistically because of the resources.. There would still be power pieces in the game and this would not pan out well in my opinion but interesting to hear peoples thoughts - Joey
Interesting points.
Thanks, Joey. Now you're in my world. If what you say happens, Canada will not buy Alaska. We have no gold - we have no voice and are very close to CBDC in Canada. Canada will be split one way or another between the US of whatever it may be and Russia whatever it may be. Our natural resources are important - people are not. Be prepared, not scared. Best to your father - my mother is in long term care and fortunately being well treated. You've mentioned many times that you lean red from comments. We can't help give our worldview when being honest. Glad to see the water rising finally.
Is the situation in Canada as bad as here in the States? - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Being from Texas and 63 years old and see a lot of division in the country. If there any case of it, when Gov. Abbott define the National Border Patrol and took over Eagle Pass and shut down the crossing. Then 17 states join with Texas to send their Guard to help expand the border shut down. Crazy times!
The average age of empires, according to a specialist on the subject, the late Sir John Bagot Glubb, is 250 years. After that, empires always die, often slowly but overwhelmingly from overreaching in the search for power. The America of 1776 will reach its 250th year in 2026.
...that's interesting...very cIose to matching the data on 'deageI'...one-third of the popuIation left by 2O25...
Wow.... I didnt know that. thanks for the insight - Joey
A few people are focusing on a few differences. And there are some who are fueling the fire of division and profiting off of the chaos. We have more in common then we have differences. Would states mint their own money? Would laws be so different that we would have borders between states or territories and we'd have to go through checkpoints to travel? We'd have to begin carrying our passports with us to cross a border like between East and West Germany? Or borders would just become closed???? Would the interstate road system be divided and the maintainence of it become the responsibility of the individual territories? What about power distribution systems? Would they stop at territorial lines?
All utilities it would be chaos,a major issue .
Absolutely correct! those were my thoughts entirely thats why i brought up the division of resources because it would all come down to that right there.. Thank you so much! - Joey
"A house divided against itself can not stand".
"Divide and conquer".
Those are two things that I see happening more and more in both Canada and the United States of America. I wonder if we are seeing the start of the fall of our civilization?
Here in Redding, CA area...Check out "The State of Jefferson" which almost happened in Calif but Japan attack in Hawaii stopped it from happening due to the state being busy with other things.
State of Jefferson? I will look into that .. Thank you
Instead of listening to mankind who got us in this predicament, listen to God's Words that have always come true. Jeremiah 10:23 says man cannot direct his steps...TRUE. Ecclesiastes says man has dominated man to his injury...TRUE. Daniel 2:44 says that God's Kingdom, or God's heavenly government, will do away with all human government soon. Even Jesus said at Luke 4:5 that human governments belong to Satan....and that is why we are in the mess we are. By means of God and his government, not mankind's governments, soon Psalms 37:9-11 will be fulfilled. The wicked with be gone and mankind will have an abundance of peace, forver! TRUE!!!❤
I live in Texas and here are the facts about our state. The same size as France. We have oil, gas, deep water ports, cattle, agriculture, and power generation; enough to sustain our population. Two major international airlines call Texas home. Texas could stand alone as an independent country, I am not advocating this but it could sustain itself. If this country broke into territories there would be "international" trade between them and, as noted, plenty of disagreements over water. I would hate to see this happen but we are in uncharged waters right now.
Hi Joey!
Put your trust and faith in God and you will find comfort instead of anxiety or fear. What the US is experiencing now was planned years and years ago! Divide and conquer! It is in these times that we can make a positive difference! Live only for the day you are in and find peace and happiness! As always, I enjoy your podcasts! And don’t worry about the “politics” of it! We are all able to have opinions!
Bu the way Joe my brother work for tge V/A here in Buffalo.If you need anything reguarding questions about your Dads health care.He'd be happy to help:)
It’s funny, if you watch the news every day, you may feel like the country is divided. However, walking around in everyday life, I never feel that way. Conclusion…quit watching the news.
I’ve always said if the politicians of this country wanted to solve the problems of this country they would they just don’t want to. Because no one wants to negotiate
Your friends' theory could tear my state, Pennsylvania, apart. The densely populated Southeastern quadrant is blue, but because of the agricultural nature of Lancaster Berks and other semi-rural counties not dark blue. The rest of the state, from the Northeast all the way to Pittsburg, is considered part of the rust belt, although some manufacturing still exists there. Pennsylvania accesses the Atlantic Ocean by the Delaware River ports in and around Philadelphia, the great lakes network via the port of Erie, and the Mississippi River system via Pittsburg and other Ohio River ports. The Southeastern leftists would probably want Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Berks and Delaware counties to secede from Pennsylvania and probably merge with New Jersey or Delaware. . . . I'd like to hear about other states that would probably break up, such as Oregon is already talking about. So please reply and keep this discussion going.
we started out on revolution evolved pretty well till now time for a reset
Matthew 12:25
Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
We are only strong if we stand together, if we get divided and turn on each other then it's over as a nation.
God bless America and everyone out there 😊
United States of America Arkansas has been known to be only state that needs no other to survive. Arkansas has only diamond mine, but also oil, agriculture, lithium, gold, oil. Not choosing a certain state. Just little knowledge I heard. I think you found you new videos keep it up lake Meade rising let's move to other topics. Love hearing your on RUclips 👍
Hey thanks for your support. Hope people dont flame me for trying to research other topics of interests.. Lake Mead is just (1) of many important issues that hope to be able to shen a light on - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Kind of hard to split into 2 countries when the Red and Blue states are not joined to each other
And as you say everything is tied to the US government and i am not sure about the resources,military etc.
I am from and living in Northern Pacifica and
If it ever were to split ,I will be moving to Texas or Florida!
Hey Danno' Many people are saying the same thing as you.. Must be a good reason those states keep getting called upon.. Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
Joey, I believe Texas will be the FIRST state to secede IF PUSHED. 🤔🤔👍
Never voted and would take a bullet to my temple before doing so.
Doesn't sound like those guys understand who's pulling their strings because he owns both ideologies.
Fear is the only tool that system has, unfiltered thought is the best thing a person has.
The sources of the border videos like x,look at the investor's not the ceo. The investor's are who controls what is posted ESPECIALLY when it comes to fear and division.
Always enjoy your videos.
To each their own, the way it should be 🤞
Terribly sorry about your father, much love Joey 🤗
The retired veterans have a lot of time to think for sure. As much thought I have given to the subject matter of America becoming divided in territory aspects I don’t think it will become reality. I will use myself as an example. As a proud Texan I would like to believe I/we as a Sovereign independent country would be better off given the current political climate but after deep thought I don’t think it will ever happen to any state. The U.S. government is responsible for so many Americans aspects of life most could not have it stop. What do I mean? I as a Texan would not receive Social Security nor any Veteran benefits along with other benefits that the USA provides. Too many to list. Will people be ok with this? As we know from the American civil war things went from bad to worse during the war. There will be violence and turbulence to come but that is what will make us stronger and more united. Something to think about
A lot is at stake leading up to the 2024 presidential election, and many people are tired of not being heard while Washington, D.C. seems to do as it pleases. There is a movement in independent journalism to change the political culture, and more people are becoming aware of what's happening politically. Many are moving away from states like California, which has contributed to the significant growth of cities like Las Vegas. Our society is currently very fragile, and it wouldn't take much to trigger a major conflict. We have a duplicate of the 2020 election, expect to see some wild stuff go on.
Being from Alaska, I don't think there's much chance of it being sold...way too many natural resources. Also, I doubt that Idaho, or even east Oregon, want to be associated with Pacifica. Since we have States, we kind of already have territories, the federal government is just as likely to take away the rights of the territories as they are doing to the states.
The South shall rise again!
the civil war wasn't about slavery it was about keeping control in Washington...ruclips.net/video/RPOnL-PZeCc/видео.html
😂😂😂 The south never rose so not sure how that will happen
Joey, why does RUclips keep "unsubscribing" me? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Joey how would they split the national debt? A nice mental distraction
Hawaii was forcefully overthrown by the U.S. government. The native Hawaiian people don’t want to remain part of the U.S. The “Haole guests” can leave to the continent if they want.
I always see Defend Hawaii stickers on Hawaiian trucks... How did Hawaii become So Blue? Unless the Locals see things differently than the politicians that run the Islands.. Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
@@VegasDtechHawaii became “blue” from infiltration of communist longshoremen’s union (Harry Bridges) in the 1940’s, which eventually lead to Democrat total control of the State. Native Hawaiians are predominantly Libertarian Party voters ( I was surprised when I read that statistic), thus virtually no political influence in Hawaii government. I’m Native Hawaiian living in Pahrump, and my family are cowboys on the Big Island. I know a lot Hawaiian history, but I wouldn’t want to live there! To many pretender Hawaiians to be around, plus too expensive to live.
@@robertfansler7800 Hey Robert' how do you like it in Pahrump bro.. was it hard to transition from the Islands to the desert? - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
@@VegasDtechHi Joey, I was born in Hawaii as my father was a Pearl Harbor survivor. So I spent my toddler years on various Navy bases until my father retired from the Navy and wanted to return to the “farm life” away from the sea. So I basically grew up in Northern California in the wine country. I only came to Pahrump in 2015 because of work requirements, but I miss the agriculture and redwoods of Sonoma County.
Could never sell Alaska WAY to many natural resources to loose. People need to get over themselves and re-learn to compromise!!!
Very interesting points of thought on our strangely lacking in cohesive and congruent directives and machinations that as you noted have kinda silently evolved.....my norm also is to not be politically directed...yet so many events have dramatically come into focus in and involving our country around the world that reactions to these many and varied problems have been noticably quite different....and within our American spectrum geographic local plays a strong part....these ideas and theories in play are parallel to thoughts I've muttered to myself (and a few others of course) because the variations have become more noticeable.... seems as though perhaps a marginally cohesive group agreement on structured social order may no longer become possible.... anyway supply chain necessities and demands would and could still be the means of adhesion to prevent acts of civil war....Keep on working negatives into positive possibilities friend and hats off to all the wonderful veterans and their inciteful views
The problem about a disolution of the union is that the money is on the coasts. Those states currently support the south if you look at the amount that each state both provides in tax revenue, and receives from the feds. I think there are plenty of people on the coasts who would love to keep their money local. Imagine Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana getting hammered by hurricanes, and there is no federal government to bail them out. I would expect the south and middle america to become 2nd world theocracies within one generation. I mean look at Alabama where an egg is now considered a human. Good luck to them all.
There's typically a breaking point so I wouldn't be surprised if Americans eventually fight back.
Separation of states is mostly idle talk. The real problem with the state of the union is the American Empire. Events in Ukraine and Palestine are causing the collapse of this empire. Which is a good thing. It may halt the spending of billions on foreign projects and put our money to work for the American people. We may return to the Constitutional republic of the Founders. They said you can either have a republic or an empire. But not both. America first! (From a soldier who saw how empire works in Vietnam.)
Hey Malcolm' Thank you so much for your comment - I appreciate it!
@VegasDtech hey Joey, here is the way I see things I'm not old but I'm 50. The way I see it going is not necessarily a breakup into territories but still a united states, resources and availability would depend on how those that control it will handle it.what I mean is this, say for instance a particular state aligns one way and another state aligns another and those states decide they do not want to do commerce with said states, then what? it may not necessarily be red, blue, big brother, big tech, big pharma or whatever it is motivated by, but it may be that one state that controls something may not wish to do commerce with whatever product they have or control. so then what? do they find that same resource elsewhere or do they try to get it by other means, or do they try to steal it etc. The way I see things headed is not so much politically in nature but more of a God thing. if you are a believer and you know then you know. I just see how things are racially, politically and how bad things have become, this is what they want, to make America divided. I for one don't see that happening. I see the USA staying as a whole, however, with that said things will be a bit more pricey, and a bit harder to get, but, you will still be able to get what you need. I believe in being prepared, stock pile stuff thats necessary, food, water, rations, security items, etc. Not everyone will see it this way, but, thats how I see things. Do what is necessary for you and your family, prepare, stockup on items that you think will be valuable to you and your family and you will be fine.
I think I have too much invested in Social Security to want to risk loosing retirement over political division destroying our country. What would happen to the dollar? And being able to just have a good life like we have had. Seems to risky to destroy all that over ideology. Just my thoughts as you asked.
You’re going to loose Social Security anyway by 2035, as the Social Security trust fund will be out of money by then. There are not enough younger generations paying into it to keep it solvent.
Hey Alex' Appreciate that - Its nice to hear what people have to say not filtered through the media - Thank you for the comment - Joey🌺🌴
🙏👍
Unfortunately its going to be a possibility with the way things are going. Texas looks like will be first to break away.
They for sure look like they are serious! Abbott isnt afraid to do what he feels he has to do!
