“Rainmaker and cloud seeding had nothing to do with the flooding that unfolded”

“On July second, we conducted 1:19 minute cloud seeding flight where we released about 70 grams of silver iodide and 500 grams of salt, table salt. That was released at about 1600 feet above ground level into two clouds that dissipated over the course of two ho…”

“If we don't have access to weather modification technology, If we don't regulate this at a federal level and ensure that there's accountability and attribution for these activities, then other people, other nation states could be conducting weather mod in the …”

“Like you need it to come from either the mountains in Flagstaff or the Colorado River. And the only way to get it, there's cloud seeding.”

“I think that if you ban five seating, you're basically banning like rocketry or fission.”

“People have done 80 or 30 or 50 years, depending on the watershed, studies on the concentration of silver iodide that ends up in the water and the soil. And after decades of operation, you only see parts per trillion of this stuff. Like, you need super sophist…”

“If you think about the, like, LB-fifty, like the lethal dose of silver iodide, it's less than salt. It's less than table salt. It's milligrams per kilogram with salt, and then it's 2800 for silver iodide. So this is like a resoundingly safe material to be usin…”

“The evidence of downwind drought is totally uncompelling. Nobody's provided reliable data there”

“I'm going to wait until Q one or Q two, 26 to do this, but we're just going to stand up a land fund and we're just going to start buying up the land that currently isn't arable, primarily in Arizona and California, because the same acre of land that's worth li…”

“We can bring water more cost-effectively than even desalination.”

“China is retrofitting the equivalent of their MQ-Nine Reaper. So like our most advanced military drones, The equivalent of that in China, the Wing Long II they're using for cloud seeding missions.”

“Some people that were misinformed about what cloud seeding is, that believed it to be chemtrails made threats against. Me, my company, et cetera.”

“If anything, I'm a slow takeoff guy. I don't even know if you can really get AGI. You can get something that resembles it maybe more and more, but it's not in sold. So it won't quite have a human thing, which is important.”

“I think that's also free money. I think that we live in clown world and there will be a UFC fight there.”

“China recently, I think on the last time I was on TBPN, I talked about how they had a three hundred million dollar annual budget for their weather modification program. That as of 20, 25 has been up to 1.4 billion dollars.”

“But in building, ah, a 100,000 of these ground generators, and also using the Wing Long II and a bunch of their other military drones for aerial cloud seeding they're turning Tibet into, ah, a reservoir, a snowpack reservoir of unprecedented scale that will fe…”

“China recently, I think on the last time I was on TVP and I talked about how they had a three hundred million dollar annual budget for their weather modification program, that as of 2025 has been up to 1.4 billion dollars.”

“And so that's why I am advocating for way more regulatory scrutiny from the federal government for cloud seeding and weather mod ops.”

“Particularly like the teams, the TSMC plant in Arizona, nobody knows where the water for that's going to come from.”

“It's not really like a right-left issue, so much as it is like an east-west, west issue, because the west doesn't have water. So Democrats and Republicans alike on the western half of the US are like, oh, this is sick. I would love to have water. Then the peop…”

“You need the water though, so unless you're setting up enormous conveyance systems, which China largely is, and cloud seeding in addition to that, it's a non-starter.”

“They're actually trying to elevate the punishment for weather modification to a criminal offense.”

“It's been a very deliberately engineered aesthetic effort to make hard tech sick, because if it's not, then everybody's going to end up in finance again. The next generation, the lower class of zoomers, they're going to end up doing software engineering.”

“Throughout the Western United States, farms conservationists, governments concerned with their aquifer supply of water, and also reservoirs for both industrial and residential drinking water contract with Rainmaker to produce more water via cloud seeding.”

“So right now it's largely public municipal money that is going into these weather modification programs to increase water supply when there is drought or in preparation for drought.”

“The first of which is that it wasn't until 2017 that attribution had been Physical attribution of cloud seeding's effects had been seen and proven in an academic context.”

“There was something called Operation Popeye during the Vietnam War, where the deliberate intention of cloud seeding was to cause precipitation that would Like cause flooding and then impede supply chains on the Ho Chi Minh trail.”

“One thing that we do know about the weather mod program that they do have going is that they're planning to build a hundred and a 100,000 ground generators on the Tibetan plateau.”

“The California State Water Supply Strategy, like, from the Department of Natural Resources, says that half a million acres of farmland have to turn into desert by 2030 in California. In order to like maintain water supply for the cities.”

“Like Phoenix, Arizona is banning new housing development because there's not enough water.”

“Well, fourteen million acres of farmland in Florida is currently in a drought.”

“It turns out that only nine percent of all of the water that traverses the atmosphere in the United States precipitates over it. The vast majority is either recycled by the oceans, precipitates over the oceans, evaporates away, and never condenses again over t…”

“The problem with desalination for gigascale American projects for a lot of the world that is currently undersupplied with respect to water is conveyance. We can set up a huge desal project in LA. Sweet. No dice for Colorado. Doesn't matter for Nevada. Barely e…”

“Rainmaker is making earth habitable by making it precipitate more, more rain and more snow in air environments. So farms that don't have enough water ecosystems that need to be restored and cities in arid regions that need water. We're making that happen with …”

“Something in the distant future for Rainmaker is the Winter Olympics in 2034 are going to be held in Salt Lake, and China In 2008 had this whole big show and dance where they made it rain before the parades. So it didn't end on the Olympic games. We want to sh…”

“Rainmaker long-term is the terraforming company, right? We want to take, Any ecosystem and make it both symbiotically flourishing for humankind and the environment.”

“When it comes to like immediate supply chain in Gundo, I think everybody has, or has already, or is having a part made by range view from Cameron Schiller's company.”

“Boards, I think actually we are going to see, if not just because of soft banks, a hundred billion dollars that they maybe do or don't have we will see a lot more of in the United States soon.”

“With Project Storm Fury, the United States Weather Bureau in conjunction with the Air Force was flying out into the Atlantic to attempt to mitigate the severity of hurricanes. They did so back in the, what, seventies, sixties, seventies.”
