Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1941 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About All The Gaslighting And Psyops In The News Today. Wow

00:00:00.840 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization again.

00:00:06.340 It gets better every time, doesn't it?

00:00:08.280 And lucky for you, you found your way here.

00:00:11.380 Don't you feel better already?

00:00:13.280 Because this is the only podcast that's guaranteed to make you a better, smarter, happier person by the end of it.

00:00:20.820 Guaranteed.

00:00:21.620 If that doesn't happen for you, I will refund all the money you paid for this live stream.

00:00:28.200 All of it.

00:00:28.700 So every penny goes back to you.

00:00:30.840 That is how confident I am that this is going to be the greatest thing you've ever seen.

00:00:35.260 And if you'd like to guarantee it, well, there's one thing you need to do.

00:00:39.640 This is what you need to do.

00:00:41.180 You've got to get yourself a cupper mug or a glass, a tanker, a chalice or a steiner, a canteen jug or a flasker, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:47.940 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:49.520 I like coffee.

00:00:51.480 Join me now for the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:56.680 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now.

00:01:00.780 Go.

00:01:01.060 All right.

00:01:07.120 Yoan God says he's watching from the toilet, and that is authorized.

00:01:12.980 The very best places to watch this would be while exercising, doing housework, instead of work while you're pretending to work, or on the toilet.

00:01:26.080 Those are all the very best places to consume this content.

00:01:30.620 And what about all the news today?

00:01:33.740 So the Twitter cybernetic brain, which reveals its consciousness in the trending section, if you think of Twitter as a big cybernetic brain, which I do, when you see what's trending, that's similar by analogy to how your mind is focusing.

00:01:57.280 It's what your brain is focusing on.

00:02:27.260 One of the three things today.

00:02:28.840 Didn't like it, but we'll talk more about that.

00:02:32.780 All right.

00:02:34.740 So Musk said today there was a third-party, some kind of a blocking app.

00:02:41.640 So here's what he tweeted.

00:02:42.640 I'm not sure exactly what this means, but I'm suspicious of everything now.

00:02:47.560 So Musk says, Twitter experienced a slight degradation of service today from an old third-party tool used to block accounts that had no rate limit.

00:02:59.820 Psy.

00:03:00.900 Should be fixed now.

00:03:03.200 What exactly was the third-party tool used to block accounts that had no rate limit?

00:03:10.100 What?

00:03:15.620 What?

00:03:18.060 What does that mean?

00:03:20.160 Does that mean it blocked bots?

00:03:23.400 Because if it was a bot-blocking tool, I feel like he would have said that.

00:03:27.980 Oh.

00:03:34.620 So is that telling us that there's somebody, some third-party tool, but I guess it was used, what does it mean to be a third-party tool?

00:03:44.580 I mean, I'm pretty sure somebody's called me a third-party tool by now.

00:03:51.200 If you start a third party and run for president, are you a third-party tool?

00:03:56.180 Is Ye going to start his own campaign and run in his own party?

00:04:00.460 Would he be a third-party tool?

00:04:02.180 I don't know.

00:04:03.300 I don't know.

00:04:04.780 But it makes me wonder if there was some external source that had the ability to block accounts.

00:04:11.620 Was that possible?

00:04:12.580 Do you think a third-party app could block accounts that Twitter didn't know it was blocking?

00:04:18.940 Is that even possible?

00:04:21.380 Everything's possible at this point, right?

00:04:23.960 I don't know what it means.

00:04:25.360 I wouldn't make any assumptions about it.

00:04:28.460 The other thing Musk said, cryptically.

00:04:33.320 So just hold in your mind that the person who just bought Twitter is saying this.

00:04:39.340 This is not a random troll.

00:04:42.580 This is somebody who actually, at this point, knows what's going on at Twitter.

00:04:47.580 And this is the head of Twitter, Musk, tweeting this today.

00:04:50.860 The amount of pro-pro, meaning professional, psyops on Twitter is ridiculous.

00:04:57.220 At least with new verified, their new verified accounts.

00:05:00.600 They will pay $8 for the privilege.

00:05:02.620 Ha ha.

00:05:02.940 How does he know how many professional psyops there are?

00:05:08.680 Because he also tweeted today a meme about all the psyops.

00:05:13.600 What does he mean?

00:05:15.260 Because you and I probably have an idea what activity on Twitter is a psychological operation.

00:05:21.260 But he must have a much better idea, don't you think?

00:05:25.820 This feels like the sort of thing that you and I would have said is happening.

00:05:29.800 You know, we're just, we're not fully informed about what's happening.

00:05:34.180 It seems like we would have said, we as just users, say, ah, I think there's some psyops.

00:05:39.400 A whole bunch of psyops running on Twitter.

00:05:41.660 It's one thing if we think it's true.

00:05:45.220 But this is a guy who owns Twitter.

00:05:47.680 The guy who owns Twitter says it's like bristling with professional psyops operations.

00:05:54.780 Probably is.

00:05:55.960 I mean, sounds like a credible source.

00:06:00.280 So, that's interesting.

00:06:04.300 The China protests are heating up.

00:06:06.720 And I saw one piece of news that I thought was different.

00:06:09.460 You know, everybody always says the same thing about these stories.

00:06:13.180 But one person said something different.

00:06:15.620 That there had been protests in China before.

00:06:18.540 So, that part is not super unusual.

00:06:20.940 But they tended to be geographically limited.

00:06:25.580 So, prior to these current rounds of protests,

00:06:29.420 they tend to be, you know, one city, that sort of thing.

00:06:32.040 But these apparently are all over China.

00:06:34.700 So, there are protests everywhere.

00:06:36.560 And it's all about the same topic.

00:06:38.120 It's about the crackdowns and the government.

00:06:41.540 And so, maybe this is the real thing.

00:06:45.400 And apparently, the shock troops are moving in to take care of the protesters now.

00:06:52.580 So, apparently, China, Chairman Xi,

00:06:57.280 has decided that he will use violence to end the protests.

00:07:01.040 So, we've never seen violence used at this scale on Chinese citizens lately, you know, in modern history.

00:07:08.940 So, we haven't seen this kind of violence applied to the general population.

00:07:14.320 Like, you know, before I've been isolated in a location.

00:07:17.960 Tiananmen being an example.

00:07:19.200 So, this could get really ugly.

00:07:23.260 And who knows where this could go.

00:07:25.060 If you think you can predict this one,

00:07:27.960 I don't know.

00:07:29.120 Maybe you can't.

00:07:30.760 Now, here's the other question.

00:07:32.380 Do you think America is behind any of this?

00:07:35.780 Do you think America is doing anything to create some,

00:07:41.060 you know, maybe help some people who are anti-government?

00:07:45.780 I don't know.

00:07:46.620 It would be dangerous.

00:07:48.440 Seems like it would be a super dangerous thing to be involved in any way.

00:07:52.960 Because it looks like maybe we wouldn't need to be.

00:07:56.600 You know, the Chinese citizens don't need,

00:07:59.860 I don't think they need help.

00:08:02.140 Doesn't seem like they need any help.

00:08:04.080 If the Chinese citizens decide to change their government,

00:08:06.800 they're going to do it.

00:08:08.500 I don't think there's enough military to stop it.

00:08:12.540 If they want it enough.

00:08:13.920 Now, they might be scared off by the violence that's coming probably today.

00:08:19.200 So, it's hard to make a bet on where this ends up.

00:08:22.380 But anything could happen.

00:08:23.780 I think at this point, anything literally could go in any direction at this point.

00:08:29.920 All right.

00:08:31.820 I saw a funny take on, you know, correct me if I'm wrong.

00:08:36.840 I don't know if it's because I'm spending more time on Instagram,

00:08:39.640 or if it's really a trend.

00:08:41.180 Are you also seeing a trend where the basic assumptions about the relationship between men and women,

00:08:49.500 like the real basic stuff is being challenged,

00:08:52.420 and that people giving relationship advice,

00:08:55.000 they're just all over the place now?

00:08:57.360 Like there's nothing that's standard anymore.

00:08:59.140 And the advice is terrible.

00:09:01.540 And the way we're trying to grapple with the fact that,

00:09:04.300 you know, the basic glue of civilization,

00:09:07.740 which is marriage and children,

00:09:09.840 has fallen apart.

00:09:11.700 Not everywhere at the same time.

00:09:14.940 But it's really being challenged.

00:09:16.980 Right?

00:09:17.080 So you're seeing all kinds of opinions that I don't know if we would have ever seen before.

00:09:22.000 It feels like stuff that people are saying out loud,

00:09:24.980 things that could never be said out loud before.

00:09:27.900 I'll give you some examples.

00:09:29.900 So here's a tweet from a Twitter user,

00:09:32.460 a woman who calls herself the red-headed libertarian.

00:09:35.560 So keep in mind it's coming from a woman who identifies as libertarian.

00:09:39.480 And she says in her tweet,

00:09:42.300 Feminist men are the most dangerous type of man.

00:09:46.260 They have an undeserved sense of entitlement to status,

00:09:49.640 often due to covert narcissism,

00:09:51.960 but are too weak and lazy to naturally rise in the hierarchy.

00:09:56.320 So they artificially station themselves in the easiest position to prey on women.

00:10:03.160 Does that sound true?

00:10:05.580 Does that ring true when you hear it?

00:10:08.420 Right.

00:10:08.940 Now, it might be just, you know, it agrees with your political leaning on this.

00:10:14.320 Now, were you also aware that there is science that shows that the more physically strong you are,

00:10:21.840 the more likely you're going to be a Republican?

00:10:24.540 Did you know that?

00:10:26.080 And if you're physically weak,

00:10:28.440 you're sort of looking for the government to help you a little bit?

00:10:31.160 Like women.

00:10:32.920 Right?

00:10:33.640 Because women need help,

00:10:35.060 because they don't have the physical strength to defend themselves in society.

00:10:38.940 And men who are not physically strong might look for the same kind of help.

00:10:43.520 Makes sense.

00:10:44.400 Right?

00:10:44.520 Well, here's a video I just tweeted.

00:10:48.800 I highly recommend it.

00:10:49.900 It's pretty short, just a few minutes.

00:10:52.440 And it's an interview with Gad Saad and Jordan Peterson.

00:10:56.440 And Gad Saad brings up the topic, and apparently this is a real thing.

00:11:01.900 In the world of biology, there is a mating strategy among some types of species,

00:11:09.740 and this is the actual biological name.

00:11:12.060 I'm not making this up.

00:11:13.180 It's called the sneaky fucker strategy.

00:11:16.920 And it goes like this.

00:11:18.640 There are some animals that pretend to be female so that the alpha males don't chase them away.

00:11:26.080 And then they say, oh, it looks like a bunch of women having fun over there.

00:11:29.720 And suddenly, the male who's pretending to be female turns into the sneaky fucker,

00:11:36.660 and then, like, fucks one of the women and gets away before the alpha male realizes what's going on.

00:11:42.600 And Gad Saad was extending this to the social justice warrior men,

00:11:48.400 who effectively are disguising themselves as women to get into the women, you know, attention sphere.

00:11:57.640 And then, once they're there, look for a weakness and fuck them.

00:12:03.460 Fuck them and then get away, and then they can reproduce.

00:12:07.840 Does that sound accurate?

00:12:13.340 Yeah.

00:12:14.640 I'd never heard this before.

00:12:16.780 But it does, now, this is how I always saw it.

00:12:21.300 This is exactly how I conceived of it.

00:12:25.240 But there is a second consideration.

00:12:29.320 And I'd like to put this out there.

00:12:32.280 Early in my dating life, you know, my earliest relationships,

00:12:37.200 before any one of my marriages, two of them so far,

00:12:41.120 I was in a relationship with a woman who very cleverly praised me whenever I did anything that was,

00:12:49.860 let's say, what did she call it?

00:12:53.960 Enlightened.

00:12:55.820 She praised me for being an enlightened male.

00:12:59.160 Now, what an enlightened male meant was that I would sometimes take on traditional female roles within the relationship,

00:13:07.620 such as, you know, cleaning, cooking, you know, just being more of a nurturer.

00:13:12.540 And whenever I got praised for that, I think, oh, I'm really nailing this, aren't I?

00:13:19.040 I feel like I'm nailing this.

00:13:20.960 I'm trying to make this one person happy.

00:13:23.760 She says, oh, you're killing it.

00:13:25.160 I loved it when you did that thing.

00:13:26.540 I'm like, oh, okay.

00:13:27.680 Now, this was before I realized that making women happy was a real thing.

00:13:33.080 You know, when I thought it was actual something people can do.

00:13:36.200 I didn't see the mechanism.

00:13:38.420 I saw the goal, but I didn't see the system.

00:13:41.080 I couldn't see the gears, the machinery.

00:13:43.960 Once you see the machinery, you realize it's a sucker's play,

00:13:48.780 giving women what they want,

00:13:50.680 because it doesn't have an end.

00:13:52.660 I always thought, well, if the goal is to give you what you want,

00:13:58.380 tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you,

00:14:01.800 and then we're all good.

00:14:03.680 But that's not how the system works.

00:14:07.100 The system requires the women to continually make the man unhappy

00:14:12.000 so that he tries to fix his happiness by giving them more resources,

00:14:16.800 and they use those resources primarily

00:14:18.900 as a transfer of energy to the next generation.

00:14:24.080 And so there's nothing wrong with it in terms of

00:14:26.080 it's a good design for reproducing the species.

00:14:29.960 But it requires the men to be fooled

00:14:34.080 into thinking they can get what they need

00:14:36.800 by giving women what they ask for.

00:14:39.980 And there's nothing like that that works in the real world.

00:14:42.860 Nothing like that works.

00:14:44.360 If you give women what they want,

00:14:46.480 they will cheat on you and find another man who doesn't

00:14:49.500 until they can convert him to giving them what they want,

00:14:53.280 and then they'll cheat on him too.

00:14:54.900 That's just the system.

00:14:57.920 That's just the system.

00:14:59.140 There's nothing you can do about it.

00:15:01.920 However, because we all have irrational minds,

00:15:06.080 we still reproduce

00:15:07.480 because it's our natural impulse.

00:15:12.420 I have a different take on the social justice warriors.

00:15:19.220 I feel that women treat them more like pets.

00:15:23.540 The model that I see in my mind is more like a pet.

00:15:28.400 Don't you think every woman has a male friend?

00:15:34.060 The male friend, I think it's Chris Rock

00:15:37.000 who talks about the male friend.

00:15:38.300 The male friend is the boyfriend under glass.

00:15:42.560 That's the one that's ready.

00:15:43.940 You know, break glass in emergency.

00:15:45.660 It's just a friend.

00:15:47.120 I think he's probably gay.

00:15:50.340 Let me ask you.

00:15:51.240 Have you ever had a love interest of yours

00:15:54.300 tell you that they had a male friend

00:15:57.020 that they think is probably gay?

00:15:58.620 She's fucking that guy.

00:16:04.280 She's fucking that guy.

00:16:06.260 If she's hanging out with a guy

00:16:07.700 that she tells you is probably gay,

00:16:09.460 she's fucking him.

00:16:11.160 Or wants to, or has, or did recently, or something.

00:16:15.840 So that's what's going on.

00:16:19.140 But that sneaky fucker thing,

00:16:23.960 to know that there's actually a biological explanation

00:16:26.860 for everything you see,

00:16:29.020 it's just wonderful.

00:16:30.740 Like, it kind of helps me understand the world.

00:16:35.300 All right, here's something super cool.

00:16:38.580 There's a tweeter named Michelle Huang

00:16:41.980 who tweets that she used AI

00:16:44.940 to have a conversation with her younger self.

00:16:48.680 So she trained the AI

00:16:50.340 by feeding it the diaries that she wrote

00:16:53.680 when she was a young girl.

00:16:56.140 And then the AI could reproduce the conversation

00:16:59.660 of her as a young girl

00:17:01.060 with the same, you know, concerns

00:17:03.160 and preferences and stuff.

00:17:05.760 And then she had a long conversation with herself,

00:17:09.480 you know, as represented by the AI

00:17:11.220 from her younger self,

00:17:12.980 and then used that as sort of a therapy mechanism

00:17:16.220 to work through some issues.

00:17:19.360 Now, apparently, this is going to be a real thing.

00:17:22.620 The talking to a version of yourself in the past,

00:17:25.900 but I also think in the future.

00:17:28.440 Because they've also shown that

00:17:29.660 if you see yourself in the future,

00:17:31.540 you'll save more money for your retirement.

00:17:34.660 You'll be better to yourself in the future.

00:17:36.780 You might stop drinking.

00:17:39.240 Imagine seeing yourself in the future,

00:17:40.960 but you've got two versions.

00:17:43.380 You go into virtual reality

00:17:44.660 and you see yourself in 20 years,

00:17:46.720 one drinks alcohol for fun,

00:17:49.360 and the other one quit.

00:17:51.180 And you just look at them.

00:17:53.080 And you're like, oh, shit.

00:17:54.800 They do not look the same.

00:17:57.140 One of them is out of shape

00:17:58.740 and has some health problems,

00:18:00.220 and one of them is killing it.

00:18:01.960 What would that do to you?

00:18:03.220 If it's yourself,

00:18:05.880 you know, it registers as yourself in the future.

00:18:08.360 It's very impactful.

00:18:10.560 So it's a new way to program people

00:18:12.660 faster than maybe anything else could,

00:18:15.220 except fear, I suppose.

00:18:16.880 Fear programs people immediately.

00:18:19.260 But you could program people so effectively

00:18:22.420 by making the voice that's programming them

00:18:26.680 themselves,

00:18:28.220 or some version of themselves.

00:18:29.720 There's nothing more powerful than that.

00:18:32.380 Here's the way I sometimes describe hypnosis.

00:18:36.800 Hypnosis is getting your subject,

00:18:39.820 the hypnotist gets the subject,

00:18:41.680 to put their conscious mind

00:18:44.080 exactly where the hypnotist's conscious mind is

00:18:47.200 at the same time.

00:18:48.760 So the hypnotist says,

00:18:50.620 you know, you feel X.

00:18:52.740 So that's what the hypnotist is thinking,

00:18:55.120 and then it's what the subject thinks.

00:18:57.400 So the two of you think the same thing for a while

00:19:00.000 until you start being comfortable

00:19:02.840 that since you're always thinking the same thing,

00:19:05.680 that the thoughts that are coming directly

00:19:07.380 from the hypnotist

00:19:08.340 become substitutes for your own thoughts.

00:19:12.720 But you're aware of it.

00:19:14.240 You're aware that the thoughts are coming

00:19:15.640 from another source.

00:19:16.420 So you don't have any danger.

00:19:18.160 That's why hypnosis is not dangerous,

00:19:20.160 because you can just say,

00:19:21.280 oh, I'll stop paying attention to that,

00:19:23.540 and you can just do it any time you want.

00:19:25.620 But it's this idea

00:19:29.100 that you're both on the same page

00:19:31.520 that allows the hypnotist

00:19:35.000 to temporarily control the body.

00:19:39.180 Like, once you've decided

00:19:40.300 that the hypnotist's thoughts and feelings

00:19:44.020 are the same as yours,

00:19:45.420 and you just move it aside and say,

00:19:47.160 okay, you can drive for a while.

00:19:49.380 Since the things you say and do and think

00:19:51.380 are just like mine,

00:19:53.340 how about you drive the car for a while?

00:19:55.300 And the car is your body.

00:19:56.940 You just say, all right,

00:19:57.980 so you want my hand to feel cold?

00:20:00.600 Oh, it is.

00:20:02.000 And then you watch it.

00:20:03.360 And you can actually have the sensation

00:20:05.380 that instructions are going into your body,

00:20:09.500 and they're being translated into real time,

00:20:11.620 into something you feel,

00:20:12.580 just like it happened in a normal way.

00:20:17.000 So, that's how powerful

00:20:19.500 these AI representations of yourself will be.

00:20:25.560 They will be like the hypnotist.

00:20:27.720 The hypnotist does it the hard way,

00:20:29.820 because they've got to pace

00:20:30.820 and lead you long enough

00:20:31.960 that you lose the distinction

00:20:33.860 between yourself and the person talking to you.

00:20:36.520 That's a tough trick.

00:20:37.620 It's why not everybody can do it.

00:20:40.740 But if AI can produce a version of you,

00:20:44.020 it is your hypnotist.

00:20:45.900 That's your hypnotist.

00:20:47.960 A version of you,

00:20:50.320 created by AI,

00:20:51.740 and let's say virtual reality,

00:20:53.400 is a hypnotist.

00:20:56.600 It's just it's designed to hypnotize you specifically.

00:21:00.120 And it would be so powerful.

00:21:02.200 Yeah, mind blown.

00:21:03.260 If you don't understand how powerful this is,

00:21:06.980 you're gonna.

00:21:08.920 You will.

00:21:10.480 It will be so powerful,

00:21:11.860 it can just rewire you in real time.

00:21:15.960 Hypnotist success rate.

00:21:17.960 Now, let me correct that.

00:21:20.000 Somebody says the hypnotist success rate

00:21:22.040 is what, 10 to 20%?

00:21:24.320 Totally incorrect.

00:21:26.420 You've got that wrong.

00:21:28.440 The 20% the hypnotists look for

00:21:31.280 are the 20% who are extra easy to hypnotize.

00:21:36.080 The rest could be hypnotized.

00:21:38.840 Everybody could be hypnotized.

00:21:40.660 They just have to be willing.

00:21:42.500 The 20% can actually feel things fairly quickly

00:21:45.400 as if they were real,

00:21:46.780 but everyone is subject to hypnosis.

00:21:49.020 There's no exception.

00:21:50.720 And everybody who tells you that

00:21:52.260 they, quote,

00:21:53.420 can't be hypnotized

00:21:54.500 are just wrong,

00:21:59.280 or they don't want to be.

00:22:00.340 If they don't want to be,

00:22:01.800 then they won't participate,

00:22:02.960 or they can take themselves out of the situation.

00:22:05.300 So they do have that control.

00:22:09.300 All right.

00:22:09.840 Wall Street Journal had a little article

00:22:13.180 on the rising trend

00:22:15.720 of middle-aged male suicides.

00:22:19.820 So middle-aged men are

00:22:21.180 ending their lives at record numbers, I guess.

00:22:24.300 And the article was written

00:22:27.340 by somebody named Andrea,

00:22:30.380 who I'm going to make the assumption is female.

00:22:34.260 Now, here's a suggestion.

00:22:37.040 Don't let a woman write an article

00:22:38.820 about adult male suicide.

00:22:42.840 Because you know what she's going to do?

00:22:45.420 She's going to write an article

00:22:46.680 about how there are these new types of therapies.

00:22:50.760 Wait, is it female, right?

00:22:58.400 I think somebody's questioning that.

00:23:00.680 But the article emphasized the treatments

00:23:05.220 to help people who have these suicidal thoughts.

00:23:08.600 Isn't something really, really left out of that?

00:23:11.860 Do you think a man would have written

00:23:13.380 an article about male suicide going up

00:23:15.940 and left off the fucking cause?

00:23:20.800 What about the cause?

00:23:23.780 Isn't that the story?

00:23:26.700 Maybe the cause is people

00:23:28.220 who write articles like this.

00:23:32.040 This article completely ignored

00:23:34.920 the well-being of the men involved.

00:23:38.440 It just treated it like,

00:23:40.020 oh, you know, the medical community

00:23:41.540 has this new thing.

00:23:43.380 Like, how about fucking care about the men

00:23:45.320 who want to kill themselves

00:23:46.580 because they have nothing to live for?

00:23:48.680 How about figuring out what's going on there?

00:23:51.420 How about figuring out what changed?

00:23:53.820 You know what changed.

00:23:55.580 You all know what changed.

00:23:57.440 Don't you?

00:23:58.680 Don't you all know what changed?

00:24:01.820 Is there any mystery to it at all?

00:24:07.300 Yeah.

00:24:08.100 I mean, it has to do a lot with social media.

00:24:11.060 So social media creates a situation

00:24:13.300 where most men cannot find happiness now.

00:24:18.360 And most women.

00:24:20.800 So I don't believe we have a system

00:24:22.800 that could provide happiness

00:24:25.360 for most men or most women.

00:24:27.540 Or most, you know, LGBTQ, non-binary,

00:24:31.260 whatever you want.

00:24:31.900 I don't think most could be happy

00:24:33.860 under our situation.

00:24:34.680 I do think maybe super attractive women.

00:24:40.340 Maybe.

00:24:41.260 I don't know.

00:24:42.320 Maybe attractive, tall, rich men.

00:24:46.820 Maybe.

00:24:47.560 I don't know.

00:24:48.900 But the system isn't designed to make you happy.

00:24:51.860 It was never designed for that.

00:24:53.900 And you can see the results.

00:24:55.960 Well, Merriam-Webster

00:24:57.000 has chosen their word of the year.

00:24:59.880 What do you think the word of the year is for...

00:25:04.160 If you haven't heard it,

00:25:05.980 what do you think the word of the year is?

00:25:09.560 Gaslighting.

00:25:10.680 That's right.

00:25:11.660 Now, I would note

00:25:12.620 that the word of the year

00:25:14.040 happened under this particular word,

00:25:16.680 under the Biden administration.

00:25:19.280 Now, it doesn't mean

00:25:20.080 only Democrats are gaslighting.

00:25:22.360 Pretty much everything's gaslighting these days.

00:25:25.320 I don't think much of the news is real

00:25:26.980 at this point.

00:25:27.720 It's so fucking unreal, it's crazy.

00:25:30.760 But,

00:25:31.400 that feels right to me.

00:25:35.380 You know, the Biden administration saying

00:25:37.680 inflation isn't real

00:25:39.800 and gas prices aren't that bad.

00:25:42.400 I mean, it's all just ridiculous.

00:25:45.100 Now,

00:25:46.240 I want to give you the nuance

00:25:47.640 that Merriam-Webster

00:25:48.640 accurately put on it.

00:25:52.500 Gaslighting, I used to think,

00:25:54.440 wasn't exactly real.

00:25:55.840 But it is.

00:25:57.720 You know,

00:25:58.260 I have to give up on that.

00:25:59.800 It's real.

00:26:01.280 And it's different from lying.

00:26:03.740 Lying is very different.

00:26:05.760 Lying, you tell a lie

00:26:07.380 and you hope somebody believed it.

00:26:09.900 That's just ordinary lying.

00:26:12.180 Gaslighting,

00:26:13.320 is you tell a lie

00:26:14.240 that's obviously false,

00:26:16.280 you know,

00:26:16.460 it's obviously a lie,

00:26:17.960 and then you don't change your stance

00:26:20.280 when it's proven to be a lie.

00:26:22.840 Instead,

00:26:24.080 you move your lie

00:26:25.320 all the way to,

00:26:26.640 well, you must be going insane.

00:26:28.920 Maybe you should seek help.

00:26:30.800 Has anybody ever had that happen to them?

00:26:32.400 Have you ever been in a relationship

00:26:34.680 where somebody literally said

00:26:36.400 you should seek psychological help?

00:26:38.020 Like, literally.

00:26:40.300 I have.

00:26:42.360 I have.

00:26:43.600 Yeah.

00:26:44.160 I was literally asked

00:26:45.540 to get psychological help,

00:26:47.140 not for a psychological problem,

00:26:49.400 per se,

00:26:50.260 but for something wrong

00:26:52.120 with my sense of reality

00:26:53.580 and that I seem to be

00:26:55.900 remembering things backwards.

00:26:57.380 Why do you keep remembering

00:26:59.660 things the opposite

00:27:00.600 of how they happened?

00:27:03.120 Have you ever had that happen?

00:27:05.480 I will tell you,

00:27:06.580 it is the most disorienting thing

00:27:08.480 I have ever experienced.

00:27:10.720 And I didn't think it was real.

00:27:12.720 Right?

00:27:13.240 Like, I didn't think it was real.

00:27:15.160 Until you experience it,

00:27:16.460 you don't think it's real.

00:27:18.380 But when you experience it,

00:27:19.580 you actually have a break with reality.

00:27:23.180 The gaslighting itself

00:27:24.440 causes you to have

00:27:25.780 an actual total break

00:27:26.820 with reality.

00:27:27.680 And I've got to admit,

00:27:28.780 I had that.

00:27:30.260 I had a complete break

00:27:31.660 with reality.

00:27:34.580 And it wasn't easy

00:27:36.460 to find my way back.

00:27:38.800 Like, finding my way back,

00:27:41.180 it was so hard,

00:27:43.140 it's easy to imagine

00:27:44.460 that people would just

00:27:45.340 kill themselves.

00:27:47.260 Like, I could so easily imagine

00:27:49.220 people would just

00:27:50.480 take themselves out.

00:27:51.480 It's just too hard.

00:27:53.980 Yeah, it was amazing.

00:27:56.000 All right.

00:27:56.820 I have such mixed feelings

00:28:04.600 about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:28:08.460 So, that's my setup.

00:28:11.980 Mixed feelings.

00:28:13.540 So I'm going to tell you

00:28:14.320 some things that are

00:28:15.180 very bad about her,

00:28:17.160 and then some things

00:28:18.060 that I appreciate about her,

00:28:19.360 and then I'm going to tell you

00:28:20.460 I don't know what the fuck

00:28:21.360 to do about this.

00:28:23.180 All right?

00:28:23.680 So here are the things

00:28:25.060 I don't like about her.

00:28:26.980 She attended

00:28:27.660 Nick Fuente's event,

00:28:30.460 and she said some things

00:28:32.040 I don't agree with.

00:28:33.200 All right?

00:28:33.680 So, don't put me on the side

00:28:35.540 of people who agree

00:28:36.540 with things that she said.

00:28:38.200 Are we clear on that?

00:28:41.520 That said,

00:28:43.460 I love her stones.

00:28:46.460 All right?

00:28:47.140 She's really brave.

00:28:48.420 Can we agree on that?

00:28:51.520 She's very brave.

00:28:53.260 And it's just really fun

00:28:54.740 to watch it.

00:28:55.920 Like, she's a fighter.

00:28:57.460 She's clearly not backing down

00:28:59.080 from anything.

00:29:00.100 You just like to see it.

00:29:01.700 Now, you want her fighting

00:29:02.720 on the right side of things, right?

00:29:04.700 So if she's a fighter

00:29:05.640 and she's fighting

00:29:06.260 for the wrong stuff,

00:29:07.800 well, that's not good.

00:29:08.960 That's not good at all.

00:29:10.000 But one of the things

00:29:11.800 she tweeted about

00:29:12.600 was that she watched

00:29:14.680 the documentary

00:29:16.700 Died Suddenly.

00:29:18.820 Now, that's the one

00:29:19.420 that claims that

00:29:20.280 there are so many

00:29:21.220 vaccination-related injuries

00:29:23.160 that people are

00:29:24.460 falling over dead

00:29:25.820 and their blood

00:29:27.700 is so clotted

00:29:28.940 that even in the autopsy

00:29:31.020 you can take that blood out

00:29:32.880 and it's clearly deformed,

00:29:34.720 not like anything

00:29:35.520 we've ever seen before.

00:29:37.540 Do you think that's true?

00:29:38.360 Do you think that documentary

00:29:40.700 is credible?

00:29:42.100 Let me ask you.

00:29:43.500 This is a trick question.

00:29:45.520 Please answer the question.

00:29:47.100 Is the documentary credible?

00:29:49.520 Go.

00:29:51.660 Thank you.

00:29:52.720 No.

00:29:53.820 No, the documentary

00:29:54.960 is not credible.

00:29:56.480 Does that mean

00:29:57.140 nothing in it is true?

00:29:59.220 That's a separate question.

00:30:00.840 That's not the question I asked.

00:30:03.000 Should you ever believe

00:30:04.200 a documentary?

00:30:05.820 No.

00:30:06.620 No.

00:30:06.880 You should never believe

00:30:08.140 a documentary.

00:30:09.620 Period.

00:30:10.860 That doesn't mean

00:30:11.580 the documentary is wrong.

00:30:13.640 I'm saying it's presented

00:30:14.720 in a way that

00:30:15.440 on its face

00:30:16.900 you say,

00:30:18.040 oh, that's coming from

00:30:19.040 someone who's presenting

00:30:20.540 a point of view,

00:30:21.360 probably.

00:30:22.100 And I can't tell

00:30:23.040 if they're being fair or not

00:30:24.780 because I'm not the expert.

00:30:27.440 Yeah, it's all propaganda.

00:30:29.140 It doesn't matter who it is.

00:30:30.260 Here, I see so many people

00:30:31.640 tossing out some names.

00:30:32.760 Well, what about this one?

00:30:34.300 What about this one?

00:30:35.140 Now, in every case

00:30:36.720 the documentarian

00:30:37.580 gets to choose

00:30:40.340 what's in and what's out.

00:30:42.280 If you're choosing

00:30:43.260 what's in and what's out,

00:30:45.020 it's a narrative.

00:30:48.320 And you know for sure

00:30:50.040 there are people

00:30:51.120 who would have seen it

00:30:51.920 a different way

00:30:52.480 and would have

00:30:53.080 a different narrative.

00:30:54.140 If they're not

00:30:54.760 in the documentary,

00:30:56.360 well, it's not really

00:30:57.440 a presentation of truth.

00:30:59.640 It's a point of view.

00:31:00.640 Now, but here's what

00:31:04.700 Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:31:06.020 tweeted about that.

00:31:07.440 She said,

00:31:08.080 how many people

00:31:10.380 died suddenly?

00:31:11.940 I watched it.

00:31:13.340 I'd like to talk

00:31:14.200 to embalmers.

00:31:15.220 So she would like

00:31:15.920 to get to the bottom

00:31:16.760 of whether it's true

00:31:17.640 or false

00:31:18.120 and talk to some embalmers

00:31:20.100 because I guess

00:31:21.160 embalmers were shown

00:31:22.240 like looking at

00:31:23.760 people's blood.

00:31:25.460 So I tweeted about that

00:31:28.180 and I said,

00:31:28.780 do it on camera

00:31:29.860 with both sides.

00:31:32.980 Now, here's my dilemma.

00:31:38.040 Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:31:39.580 is recommending

00:31:41.020 the only thing

00:31:41.980 I think our government

00:31:42.780 should do

00:31:43.420 and she's the only one

00:31:45.940 I've ever seen do it.

00:31:48.080 She's basically saying,

00:31:50.420 I'm paraphrasing,

00:31:51.440 she's not saying this at all,

00:31:52.700 but this is my interpretation

00:31:54.160 of what she's saying.

00:31:55.840 Fuck this.

00:31:56.680 I'm going to find out myself.

00:31:59.000 Like, I can't trust anybody.

00:32:00.700 I'm just going to go

00:32:01.480 fucking find out myself

00:32:02.940 and I'm going to,

00:32:04.580 and here's where

00:32:05.120 she responded to me.

00:32:07.040 And again,

00:32:08.500 isn't the world wonderful

00:32:10.560 that I can send a message

00:32:13.040 to a member of Congress

00:32:14.600 who is talking about

00:32:16.300 an important topic

00:32:17.120 and I get a personal response

00:32:19.120 in like an hour or something?

00:32:21.260 Like, how incredible is that?

00:32:23.500 Does that just blow you away?

00:32:24.780 And it's not because

00:32:25.920 I'm, you know,

00:32:26.520 a big account.

00:32:27.740 She responds

00:32:28.380 to other people as well.

00:32:29.940 And every time it happens,

00:32:31.380 I'm just blown away

00:32:32.280 by the magic

00:32:33.660 and majesty of it all.

00:32:35.840 You know,

00:32:36.100 Twitter is just a,

00:32:37.640 it's beyond

00:32:38.380 a national treasure

00:32:39.340 if we use it correctly.

00:32:41.220 So that's the challenge to us.

00:32:43.280 But here's what

00:32:44.320 she didn't say.

00:32:45.840 I said,

00:32:46.320 do it on camera

00:32:47.080 and show both sides.

00:32:48.380 And she said,

00:32:50.220 I'll definitely do it

00:32:50.980 on camera.

00:32:52.780 Let me say that again.

00:32:54.760 I said,

00:32:55.400 do it on camera

00:32:56.280 and show both sides.

00:32:57.600 She said,

00:32:58.240 I'll definitely do it

00:32:59.380 on camera.

00:33:00.480 Oh,

00:33:01.380 fuck.

00:33:02.780 So close.

00:33:04.460 So fucking close

00:33:05.880 to getting it right.

00:33:08.280 And she missed it.

00:33:09.480 She missed it.

00:33:10.800 Right?

00:33:12.280 Because I would have been

00:33:13.220 in quite a dilemma

00:33:14.200 if she had answered

00:33:15.100 that correctly.

00:33:16.560 If she had answered,

00:33:17.540 yeah,

00:33:17.640 I will show both sides

00:33:18.700 and we'll do it

00:33:19.260 on camera,

00:33:20.400 I would have said,

00:33:22.340 the president.

00:33:25.560 And I don't even

00:33:26.980 like her opinions.

00:33:28.020 I'm like,

00:33:28.360 she has some scary opinions.

00:33:30.160 But if she would actually

00:33:31.400 show both sides,

00:33:33.380 put it on camera,

00:33:34.840 and tell us,

00:33:35.740 tell us publicly,

00:33:37.080 I'm going to let this

00:33:37.840 shake out,

00:33:38.380 whichever way it shakes out.

00:33:39.500 I have a concern,

00:33:41.880 but I don't know

00:33:42.360 what's true.

00:33:43.560 And nobody's telling me

00:33:44.480 what's true,

00:33:45.120 so I'm going to go

00:33:45.700 figure it out myself

00:33:46.560 and I'll put it on TV

00:33:47.540 and I'll show you.

00:33:48.940 I fucking love that.

00:33:51.320 I love it.

00:33:53.000 It would be the best thing

00:33:54.300 anybody ever did

00:33:55.620 in politics.

00:33:58.300 So close.

00:33:59.760 I want to love this.

00:34:01.460 But she couldn't say,

00:34:03.240 I will show both sides.

00:34:05.740 Couldn't say it.

00:34:06.760 Or didn't say it

00:34:07.620 or chose not to,

00:34:08.400 right?

00:34:09.500 God,

00:34:11.660 so close.

00:34:13.060 But again,

00:34:13.780 maybe that's good.

00:34:15.880 Because then I don't

00:34:16.540 have to support her

00:34:17.440 because she didn't

00:34:18.520 quite hit the mark.

00:34:19.800 But man,

00:34:20.320 nobody's been that close.

00:34:21.940 So I do support

00:34:22.980 her effort

00:34:23.600 and I'm all in

00:34:26.520 on do more of this.

00:34:29.020 Just do more of it.

00:34:29.800 And I think the vaccine

00:34:38.820 manufacturers should be

00:34:40.040 included in that.

00:34:42.020 Don't you think

00:34:42.560 Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:34:43.620 should talk to the

00:34:44.440 embalmers

00:34:45.000 and have whoever's

00:34:46.760 the top medical expert

00:34:47.800 from Pfizer or something

00:34:49.080 in the room?

00:34:50.560 Not talk to him later.

00:34:52.860 Not get a comment

00:34:54.800 on Twitter.

00:34:55.520 put him in the

00:34:57.360 fucking room

00:34:58.120 right next to

00:34:59.320 the embalmer

00:34:59.920 and then have

00:35:01.760 Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:35:02.720 say,

00:35:03.080 all right,

00:35:03.420 you fucking idiots,

00:35:04.960 stop lying to us,

00:35:06.360 tell us what's true.

00:35:07.760 One of you

00:35:08.460 is a fucking idiot.

00:35:10.180 Let's figure out

00:35:10.860 who it is.

00:35:12.360 And just put it

00:35:12.980 out there

00:35:13.340 and just crush

00:35:14.700 whoever's wrong.

00:35:15.980 Just crush them

00:35:16.860 right on live

00:35:17.580 camera.

00:35:18.980 I'd love to see that.

00:35:20.680 Won't happen.

00:35:21.860 Stop, yeah.

00:35:22.620 Okay, I'll stop dreaming.

00:35:23.700 That won't happen.

00:35:25.480 All right, so I guess

00:35:26.180 my bottom line

00:35:26.860 on Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:35:28.000 is I love her

00:35:28.780 systems approach.

00:35:30.580 How can we create

00:35:31.460 a system where we

00:35:32.320 can find out the truth?

00:35:33.840 And she proposed

00:35:34.620 a system

00:35:35.140 and it's almost perfect.

00:35:37.440 So that's a good start.

00:35:38.880 You know, just a little

00:35:39.480 tweak and she's got it.

00:35:40.960 So I'm not going to

00:35:41.800 criticize her that

00:35:42.640 the first draft

00:35:43.520 wasn't perfect.

00:35:45.340 Right?

00:35:45.860 The first draft is

00:35:46.880 we'll do it on camera.

00:35:48.600 The second draft

00:35:49.520 should be

00:35:50.040 and we'll make sure

00:35:50.840 there's a

00:35:51.320 say a Pfizer person

00:35:53.140 in the room

00:35:53.680 or somebody like that.

00:35:55.380 Then she's got it.

00:35:56.320 She's so close.

00:35:57.900 I like her systems

00:35:58.820 and not necessarily

00:35:59.700 your goals.

00:36:04.480 Part of that documentary

00:36:05.800 includes

00:36:06.900 a basketball star

00:36:09.980 Keyante Johnson

00:36:11.960 who collapsed

00:36:12.740 on the court

00:36:13.440 and it must have been

00:36:15.200 part of a

00:36:15.900 maybe it was part of

00:36:17.280 a compilation

00:36:18.380 of people just

00:36:19.200 falling over.

00:36:20.160 I believe that was

00:36:20.720 in the movie.

00:36:22.200 And it got fact-checked

00:36:23.960 and sure enough

00:36:24.580 that guy collapsed

00:36:25.540 December 12, 2020

00:36:28.240 before the vaccines

00:36:29.260 were available

00:36:30.000 and he didn't die.

00:36:32.200 He didn't die.

00:36:33.640 It was just fake.

00:36:36.580 So that doesn't mean

00:36:37.540 the other ones are fake

00:36:38.460 but at least one of them is.

00:36:40.480 Alright, here's a weird story

00:36:42.020 that I would not have

00:36:43.120 even mentioned

00:36:43.720 except that it came

00:36:44.940 from a source

00:36:45.700 who is unusually

00:36:47.520 smart and credible.

00:36:50.560 So this is a tweet

00:36:51.480 by a Twitter user

00:36:53.680 who you should definitely follow.

00:36:55.560 Brian Romelli

00:36:57.180 spelled R-O-E-M-M-E-L-E.

00:37:03.500 So if you want to follow him.

00:37:04.940 Great like scientific-y

00:37:06.660 just stuff you're not seeing

00:37:09.520 anywhere else.

00:37:10.860 You're just not seeing him

00:37:11.680 anywhere else.

00:37:12.240 And it's always interesting.

00:37:13.840 He's just one of the best

00:37:14.860 thinkers on the internet

00:37:16.560 for new and innovative stuff.

00:37:19.260 And especially old stuff.

00:37:20.620 It's not even just new stuff.

00:37:23.520 But he showed a clip

00:37:24.880 which he thought

00:37:25.980 was meaningful

00:37:26.700 about some experts

00:37:28.740 talking I think

00:37:30.060 in the 60s

00:37:30.900 that if you tried

00:37:33.860 to remove

00:37:34.520 somebody's memory

00:37:35.400 of something

00:37:35.960 by

00:37:37.280 if you tried

00:37:41.060 to remove

00:37:41.560 somebody's memory

00:37:42.280 of something

00:37:42.740 by removing

00:37:44.840 part of the brain

00:37:45.680 or if you're trying

00:37:46.500 to find where

00:37:47.000 the memory is stored

00:37:47.780 you can never do it.

00:37:49.880 You can degrade memories

00:37:51.680 but they always seem

00:37:53.660 to be there

00:37:54.300 in some form.

00:37:56.160 And the thought is

00:37:57.400 that memories

00:37:58.140 are not stored

00:37:58.960 in a place.

00:38:01.040 They're stored

00:38:01.620 in some kind of

00:38:02.880 a holographic way

00:38:04.720 in the brain.

00:38:06.080 And I don't think

00:38:06.720 I could explain that

00:38:07.780 except that

00:38:08.440 if you were looking

00:38:09.220 at a physical hologram

00:38:10.700 the stuff you would see

00:38:12.960 would be the interference

00:38:14.540 of the lasers.

00:38:16.200 Am I right?

00:38:17.580 So the lasers

00:38:18.500 would be invisible

00:38:19.420 except where

00:38:20.440 two lasers intersect

00:38:22.260 they shine a little bit

00:38:24.420 and that shine

00:38:25.520 would be like the pixel.

00:38:27.380 And then if you do

00:38:28.060 enough of the lasers

00:38:28.920 and it creates

00:38:29.640 enough of interference

00:38:30.780 all those points

00:38:32.240 of interference

00:38:32.900 could be formed

00:38:34.340 into a picture

00:38:34.980 that would look real.

00:38:36.840 But the thinking

00:38:37.960 is that the brain

00:38:38.700 does some version

00:38:39.440 of that.

00:38:40.660 That there's some

00:38:41.260 kind of energy

00:38:42.160 intersection

00:38:42.920 that is where

00:38:43.620 memory is

00:38:44.240 which means

00:38:45.260 that memories

00:38:46.600 are everywhere.

00:38:48.380 Like somehow

00:38:48.880 the memory

00:38:49.620 is distributed

00:38:50.380 all the way

00:38:50.960 around your brain.

00:38:52.820 Now Brian

00:38:54.400 in his tweet

00:38:55.740 he said

00:38:56.520 only .001%

00:38:58.400 of the world

00:38:58.800 knows about it

00:38:59.620 and the implications

00:39:01.040 it has to everything.

00:39:02.560 So he thinks

00:39:03.680 the implications

00:39:04.360 are really

00:39:05.060 really big.

00:39:07.000 I agree

00:39:07.840 but I don't know

00:39:09.440 exactly what

00:39:10.000 the implications

00:39:10.560 are.

00:39:11.620 Like it looks

00:39:12.080 like it's really

00:39:12.620 big.

00:39:13.760 And what I mean

00:39:14.260 by that

00:39:14.620 is it may go

00:39:15.260 to the nature

00:39:15.880 of reality

00:39:16.460 itself.

00:39:17.720 Because I did

00:39:18.420 see some people

00:39:19.940 talk about the fact

00:39:21.100 that it's absurd

00:39:23.040 to think of reality

00:39:24.160 as made of anything.

00:39:26.440 Have you ever

00:39:26.760 thought about that?

00:39:28.080 In my book

00:39:28.780 God's Debris

00:39:29.460 I ask this question.

00:39:30.340 If everything

00:39:31.420 is made of

00:39:32.100 something

00:39:32.520 and then you

00:39:34.160 say okay

00:39:34.500 what's that

00:39:34.860 made of?

00:39:35.260 Well particles.

00:39:36.680 Okay what's

00:39:37.300 a particle

00:39:37.820 made of?

00:39:38.960 Alright maybe

00:39:39.420 it's muons

00:39:40.420 and some other

00:39:41.160 charms and stuff.

00:39:43.400 Alright but

00:39:43.880 what are they

00:39:44.420 made of?

00:39:45.660 Eventually you

00:39:46.380 get to the

00:39:46.740 point where

00:39:47.580 things can't

00:39:48.460 be made of

00:39:49.000 other things.

00:39:50.240 It becomes

00:39:50.760 an absurdity.

00:39:52.000 Once you get

00:39:52.520 down into

00:39:53.600 the quantum

00:39:54.120 area there's

00:39:55.280 nothing there.

00:39:57.420 The quantum

00:39:58.300 level there's

00:39:58.960 nothing there.

00:39:59.520 It seems like

00:40:00.520 we think

00:40:01.340 there's

00:40:01.640 something there

00:40:02.320 because we're

00:40:03.420 seeing the

00:40:04.140 intersection of

00:40:05.460 energies or

00:40:07.580 ideas or

00:40:09.300 what.

00:40:10.540 I don't know

00:40:11.140 exactly what

00:40:11.720 the intersection

00:40:12.340 is of but

00:40:14.200 if we're only

00:40:14.820 seeing the

00:40:15.240 intersection like

00:40:16.640 the two lasers

00:40:17.380 that are crossing

00:40:18.020 we're not seeing

00:40:19.340 either laser.

00:40:21.240 Do you get

00:40:21.620 that?

00:40:22.580 If you're looking

00:40:23.420 at a hologram

00:40:24.160 you're not seeing

00:40:25.340 the laser that

00:40:26.040 goes sideways or

00:40:26.980 the laser that

00:40:27.660 interfered with it.

00:40:28.480 you're only

00:40:29.520 seeing something

00:40:30.160 that doesn't

00:40:30.740 exist which is

00:40:32.100 a point of

00:40:32.620 intersection a

00:40:33.480 concept and

00:40:35.000 that at the

00:40:35.540 deepest level of

00:40:36.400 reality there

00:40:37.960 might be nothing

00:40:38.620 but an

00:40:39.260 intersection of

00:40:39.980 concepts and

00:40:41.640 that the

00:40:41.960 intersection of

00:40:42.740 concepts is

00:40:44.680 substantial enough

00:40:46.440 that you see

00:40:47.600 an entire world

00:40:48.540 out of it that

00:40:49.900 doesn't exist

00:40:50.900 except in your

00:40:52.220 interpretation of

00:40:53.540 things intersecting.

00:40:55.200 but those

00:40:56.200 things intersecting

00:40:57.140 are purely

00:40:57.880 imaginary.

00:40:59.620 They're just

00:41:00.100 concepts.

00:41:01.460 There's nothing

00:41:02.000 there when you

00:41:02.580 dig down.

00:41:04.620 Or is

00:41:05.860 zeros and

00:41:06.360 ones because

00:41:06.900 we're a

00:41:07.260 simulation?

00:41:08.580 Take your

00:41:09.000 pick.

00:41:10.660 Take your

00:41:11.340 pick.

00:41:12.560 Somebody says

00:41:13.060 really bad

00:41:13.680 analogy.

00:41:14.840 Was it an

00:41:15.520 analogy?

00:41:17.160 Here's how you

00:41:17.900 use analogies

00:41:18.580 right.

00:41:19.240 And I say

00:41:19.800 this so often

00:41:20.620 but for some

00:41:21.360 reason I can't

00:41:21.980 communicate it

00:41:22.640 well enough to

00:41:23.220 convince people.

00:41:23.840 An analogy

00:41:25.540 is a wrong

00:41:27.040 use is to

00:41:27.840 use it as an

00:41:28.380 argument.

00:41:29.980 This is true

00:41:30.900 in this

00:41:31.460 analogy so

00:41:32.120 therefore this

00:41:32.820 other law

00:41:33.460 should be done

00:41:34.180 the same way.

00:41:35.540 Bad use.

00:41:36.920 If you're

00:41:37.340 explaining a

00:41:38.080 new concept

00:41:38.820 for the first

00:41:39.500 time analogies

00:41:40.980 are perfect.

00:41:42.220 For example

00:41:42.700 if you'd never

00:41:43.340 heard of a

00:41:43.820 zebra I'd say

00:41:45.300 well it's like

00:41:45.800 a horse but

00:41:46.380 it's got stripes

00:41:47.060 and you'd be

00:41:48.160 there immediately

00:41:48.760 right.

00:41:49.920 So the

00:41:50.800 zebra horse

00:41:51.620 thing is perfect

00:41:52.280 if you'd never

00:41:53.400 heard of a

00:41:53.820 zebra but

00:41:55.460 if you'd never

00:41:56.560 consider that

00:41:57.840 reality is the

00:41:58.800 intersection of

00:41:59.620 any kind of

00:42:00.160 energy then

00:42:01.780 saying well

00:42:02.320 there are

00:42:02.660 examples where

00:42:03.380 there are

00:42:03.640 intersections of

00:42:04.400 energy primes

00:42:06.120 your brain to

00:42:07.500 understand the

00:42:08.180 new concept but

00:42:09.060 it's not an

00:42:09.640 argument so I'm

00:42:11.140 not saying that

00:42:11.840 because a laser

00:42:13.920 can create a

00:42:15.060 hologram I'm

00:42:16.360 not saying that

00:42:17.040 logically therefore

00:42:18.240 reality is a

00:42:20.260 hologram.

00:42:20.580 I didn't say

00:42:21.240 I didn't say

00:42:21.260 that I'm only

00:42:22.480 trying to get

00:42:23.340 you to understand

00:42:24.060 reality as a

00:42:24.840 hologram by

00:42:26.220 priming you so

00:42:27.260 that's a good

00:42:27.700 use of an

00:42:28.160 analogy not as

00:42:29.520 an argument does

00:42:30.800 that make sense

00:42:31.240 to everybody I

00:42:32.980 feel like that's

00:42:33.580 the best I've

00:42:34.160 explained it so

00:42:34.880 far.

00:42:35.180 everybody on the

00:42:37.400 same page with

00:42:37.940 that maybe not

00:42:40.080 you're lost again

00:42:41.780 all right Eric

00:42:43.080 says yes that's

00:42:43.900 good enough for

00:42:44.320 me I guess I've

00:42:47.700 mentioned that

00:42:48.420 documentaries are

00:42:50.100 not credible and

00:42:51.660 I told you that I

00:42:52.520 recommended highly

00:42:53.300 the ancient

00:42:53.980 apocalypse

00:42:54.740 ancient apocalypse

00:42:57.660 series on Netflix

00:42:58.640 which I continue to

00:43:00.340 recommend from an

00:43:01.960 entertainment perspective

00:43:03.460 as well as

00:43:04.200 information because

00:43:05.300 you get to

00:43:05.680 actually see all

00:43:06.400 these historical

00:43:07.100 sites that you

00:43:08.660 wouldn't see any

00:43:09.220 other way and I

00:43:10.040 thought they were

00:43:10.420 fascinating and you

00:43:11.920 know the the

00:43:12.500 production values are

00:43:13.720 excellent like I was

00:43:15.620 engaged all the way

00:43:16.700 through it like through

00:43:18.020 eight episodes totally

00:43:19.180 totally good piece of

00:43:20.640 entertainment.

00:43:22.020 Now is it true?

00:43:25.960 Well the critics have

00:43:28.380 weighed in.

00:43:29.460 Now I don't know if

00:43:30.300 the critics are right

00:43:31.740 right and I don't

00:43:33.120 know if this Graham

00:43:34.720 Hancock who made

00:43:35.620 this documentary I

00:43:37.480 don't know if they're

00:43:37.960 right because I don't

00:43:39.520 have the perspective

00:43:40.620 where I can criticize

00:43:41.580 them but I'll tell you

00:43:43.080 what the at least one

00:43:44.860 prominent critic said

00:43:46.280 all those assumptions

00:43:48.720 he's making they're

00:43:50.640 all debunked.

00:43:52.260 For example one of the

00:43:54.060 biggest points he makes

00:43:55.200 is that farming you know

00:43:59.280 the domesticating of

00:44:00.440 livestock and farming

00:44:01.660 sort of grew suddenly

00:44:04.440 in sometime after the

00:44:07.820 ice age whereas the

00:44:09.880 critic says no it's

00:44:12.540 been known forever and

00:44:13.780 all archaeologists agree

00:44:15.420 that farming you know

00:44:17.520 started in the crescent

00:44:19.680 the fertile crescent or

00:44:21.520 whatever it was and it

00:44:23.040 grew from there and we

00:44:24.040 can trace it from where

00:44:25.460 it started to how it

00:44:26.560 spread and basically the

00:44:28.480 most basic assumption

00:44:29.720 that people learned how

00:44:32.220 to build things and

00:44:33.200 farm sort of suddenly

00:44:34.320 she goes that's

00:44:35.380 completely debunked like

00:44:37.520 you can you can track

00:44:38.660 you can track these

00:44:40.600 building the building

00:44:42.280 knowledge all the way

00:44:43.180 back to the ice age it

00:44:44.460 was always there we've

00:44:46.580 got the ruins because

00:44:47.980 you just look at it they

00:44:49.640 know before they know

00:44:50.740 now they've been farming

00:44:52.700 since practically the ice

00:44:55.240 age basically his most

00:44:57.440 basic assumptions about

00:44:59.220 things happening suddenly

00:45:00.380 no support for it now

00:45:04.100 are you surprised are you

00:45:06.900 surprised that that

00:45:07.940 criticism exists again I'm

00:45:10.080 not saying the criticism is

00:45:11.280 correct I don't know I

00:45:13.100 haven't checked it myself

00:45:14.100 but you shouldn't be

00:45:16.040 surprised that that

00:45:17.160 criticism exists now are

00:45:20.100 any of you qualified to

00:45:22.040 tell me which one is

00:45:23.000 right the critics or is

00:45:27.960 anybody qualified to do

00:45:29.000 that I'm not because if

00:45:31.640 the critic is right then

00:45:33.620 Graham Hancock just made

00:45:34.860 up a bunch of shit and

00:45:35.960 told you it was a fact

00:45:36.960 what what if the critic is

00:45:40.300 doing that if I couldn't

00:45:42.380 tell the difference if

00:45:43.260 Graham Hancock had

00:45:44.460 hypothetically made up a

00:45:46.340 bunch of shit and told me

00:45:47.440 it was true how could I

00:45:48.900 possibly tell if the critic is

00:45:50.320 doing the same thing I

00:45:52.040 don't know who's making up

00:45:52.980 shit and telling me it's

00:45:53.860 true it all looks kind of

00:45:56.240 true-ish who knows

00:45:58.460 now the Graham Hancock the

00:46:04.560 maker of the series he was

00:46:06.920 on Joe Rogan I saw some of

00:46:08.540 you note and the few clips I

00:46:11.480 saw showed Joe Rogan's you

00:46:13.800 know mind being blown and

00:46:15.400 seeming to you know have it

00:46:18.000 have fun with the the idea of

00:46:19.960 the documentary but here's my

00:46:22.400 defense of Joe Rogan Joe

00:46:24.760 Rogan is very transparent he

00:46:27.080 actually had his own show

00:46:28.280 once where he looked into

00:46:29.520 conspiracy theories like I

00:46:31.960 don't know the Bigfoot and

00:46:33.600 stuff like that correct me if

00:46:36.760 I'm wrong but doesn't he say

00:46:38.100 directly he loves conspiracy

00:46:39.620 theories doesn't he I mean it's

00:46:43.700 part of his part of his

00:46:46.100 presentation is I don't know if

00:46:48.120 this is true and I don't know

00:46:49.340 if it's not true but it sure is

00:46:51.340 fun is that a problem it's only a

00:46:55.200 problem if you don't know that's

00:46:56.440 his his approach because it's my

00:46:58.940 approach to I have a done

00:47:01.080 identical approach which is I have

00:47:03.520 no idea if Atlantis existed but I

00:47:06.920 loved I loved going for the ride as

00:47:10.360 an entertainment vehicle it's really

00:47:12.040 strong I recommend it completely now

00:47:15.080 likewise I have a book called God's

00:47:17.580 Debris in which I it's a fictional

00:47:20.320 book but you know sort of a psych

00:47:22.760 philosophy related factually and I

00:47:27.640 take the reader for a ride and you

00:47:31.060 have to sort of suspend your

00:47:32.420 skepticism for a while to enjoy the

00:47:34.200 ride so I'm not that different than

00:47:39.100 somebody putting a documentary

00:47:40.300 together that's got a fun narrative

00:47:41.920 but maybe it doesn't hold up to

00:47:43.520 science so so it's a so I'm gonna say I

00:47:49.260 recommend it but just know that the

00:47:51.180 argument against it's pretty strong

00:47:52.700 pretty strong I don't know who's right

00:47:54.920 Elon Musk tweeted today in response to

00:47:59.920 somebody else's tweet about ESG being a

00:48:02.680 nightmare Musk tweeted this ESG is the

00:48:07.220 devil the context was that Exxon has a

00:48:12.760 good ESG score and Tesla does not and

00:48:17.320 part of the the E is the environmental

00:48:19.220 environmental social and governance so

00:48:22.600 it's a standard that BlackRock and

00:48:24.960 other financial entities are trying to

00:48:27.600 impose on companies to make them report

00:48:31.240 that or do things that are good for the

00:48:32.980 environment according to the people

00:48:34.720 watching them and that's where the

00:48:36.620 problem is so basically it inserts a

00:48:39.180 new boss into a system that really

00:48:42.300 really can't use another boss the last

00:48:45.840 thing you want to do to capitalism is

00:48:47.500 insert a new boss that's bad every time

00:48:50.580 right so any new boss is just bad we

00:48:54.160 already have a government so if the

00:48:56.200 government doesn't want to make

00:48:57.180 changes I don't think they should come

00:48:59.380 from another source so that's bad so

00:49:02.860 do you think that I've I just like

00:49:05.180 asking this because I'm so happy with

00:49:07.000 myself I promised you a few months ago

00:49:10.540 that I would kill ESG by the end of the

00:49:12.400 year I feel like I did I feel like I did I

00:49:17.320 don't feel there are any sophisticated

00:49:19.120 investors who think it's credible

00:49:21.140 anymore do you do you think any

00:49:24.520 sophisticated investors find any value in

00:49:28.740 ESG but it's very few at this point so

00:49:32.780 if you get the sophisticated people the

00:49:34.880 CEOs you know the the thought leaders I

00:49:37.580 mean how in the world does Blackrock

00:49:41.780 ignore the fact that Elon Musk says it's

00:49:45.560 bullshit not just bullshit but it's bad

00:49:48.260 it's bad for the world like how do you

00:49:50.920 just go on when somebody of you know that

00:49:54.460 intellectual capacity and certainly he's in

00:49:57.400 the middle of it he knows exactly what he's

00:49:58.980 talking about when he debunks it like how

00:50:01.940 how do you go on how do you support it

00:50:04.820 like it's almost just embarrassing at

00:50:07.240 this point but I guess they like their

00:50:10.100 embarrassment

00:50:10.520 let's see what else is fun

00:50:14.960 I'm gonna go at TikTok again because I

00:50:20.200 have not been successful in putting a

00:50:21.840 dent in this but here's my problem

00:50:23.480 does anybody do a fact check on me here

00:50:27.820 is there any member of Congress or any

00:50:31.300 member of the Biden administration who

00:50:34.300 has ever been on the side of keeping

00:50:36.300 TikTok legal in the United States

00:50:38.700 anybody has anybody ever seen it any

00:50:42.920 Democrat any Republican anybody nope

00:50:47.480 nobody you've not seen it how about the

00:50:50.820 press is there any major press outlet that

00:50:56.680 has made an opinion piece has anybody

00:50:58.680 published an opinion piece that says you

00:51:00.780 know TikTok might be a little dangerous

00:51:02.820 but we should keep it nope haven't seen

00:51:07.120 one so what do you make of the fact that

00:51:10.540 all of the media and all of the government

00:51:13.380 left and right is on the same page banning

00:51:18.680 TikTok would be easy executive order

00:51:21.960 congressional law kind of easy and that

00:51:26.180 we're absolutely nowhere near it it's not

00:51:30.040 even on the table is it as far as I know

00:51:33.180 it's not even being debated is it so tell

00:51:39.240 me what's going on here how do you

00:51:41.300 explain it how do you explain you know

00:51:45.000 it's easy to explain why our government

00:51:46.860 government can't do things where they're

00:51:48.520 deadlocked where there's somebody on both

00:51:50.960 sides I get that everybody understands

00:51:53.520 that but why why in the situation where

00:51:56.620 everybody's on the same side is nothing

00:51:59.420 happening

00:51:59.860 right your reasonable assumption has to be

00:52:05.820 corruption

00:52:06.200 right what else could it be what else could

00:52:12.740 it be give me the alternative I mean

00:52:15.660 incompetence because I don't even think the

00:52:18.380 government is that incompetent I think the

00:52:20.260 government's pretty incompetent but the

00:52:22.460 one thing they know how to do is to make

00:52:24.460 something illegal that's the one thing the

00:52:27.400 government knows how to do really well

00:52:29.040 make another thing illegal okay tell the

00:52:33.200 Apple store to delist it how hard would that

00:52:36.860 be how hard would it be for Biden to say

00:52:39.520 this looks like a national security threat

00:52:42.280 while we're looking into it I don't want

00:52:44.940 the Apple store or the Google store to

00:52:46.760 carry it how hard would that be I mean he

00:52:50.840 could just ask couldn't he I don't even know if he

00:52:54.540 needs an executive order couldn't he just say

00:52:57.520 Apple and Google I'd like you to I'd like you to

00:53:01.660 defend why it's still there he doesn't even

00:53:04.800 have to say why I should come down he should

00:53:06.460 just say could you do me a favor I'd like

00:53:09.720 you both to defend why you're keeping it

00:53:11.840 there you know the risk just defend it

00:53:14.180 would they would Apple defend it would

00:53:18.720 Google defend it let's put them on the

00:53:22.020 record I don't think they would I think

00:53:25.920 they would take it off I think if Biden said

00:53:28.700 you can keep it on there there's no law but I

00:53:31.780 need you to defend it in public go ahead and

00:53:34.240 defend it and then maybe you can keep it

00:53:35.860 there do you think Tim Cook would defend

00:53:38.020 it now he might give some general defense

00:53:42.480 of you know if they're not breaking our

00:53:44.220 our if they're not violating our terms of

00:53:46.940 service there's nothing we can do but does

00:53:50.260 that does that count for national security

00:53:52.660 do you think Apple's terms of service are a

00:53:57.620 higher priority than national security I don't

00:54:02.100 think so I think Apple will violate its terms

00:54:05.100 of service anytime it wants to when national

00:54:08.440 security is at stake so Biden doesn't have to

00:54:11.260 do anything he just has to ask them to defend

00:54:13.480 it in public am I wrong what the fuck would

00:54:17.080 they do defend it in public do you think

00:54:20.900 Apple could actually defend that in public of

00:54:23.420 course not Biden doesn't even need to do

00:54:27.680 anything he could just ask them to defend

00:54:30.820 it that's it because they can't do it and

00:54:35.560 then they'd have to take it off or it'd be

00:54:37.760 easy to coerce them to take it off I'm not

00:54:40.640 wrong I am not wrong if you simply ask them to

00:54:45.460 defend it it would disappear maybe I am wrong

00:54:51.020 who knows well and the press doesn't ask why

00:54:57.600 clearly the press is afraid of Jaina I don't

00:55:03.040 know what else it could be because the very

00:55:05.460 least they should ask why right you don't

00:55:08.540 think you don't think even one of those you

00:55:11.800 don't think Ducey who's who's at one of the

00:55:17.140 press events you don't think you can say I

00:55:20.280 understand that you know I understand that

00:55:27.740 you're looking at tiktok and you're

00:55:29.380 concerned but can you explain why you're

00:55:32.800 keeping it like give us the argument for

00:55:35.340 why it's still there yeah Peter Ducey could

00:55:38.460 just ask that question right why not I

00:55:43.740 mean you might ask are you gonna ban it

00:55:45.560 and they'll say well we're looking into it

00:55:46.960 but wouldn't you want to ask the question

00:55:48.480 like why would you even wait like what's

00:55:50.760 the argument for not doing it right away

00:55:52.480 all right Rasmussen did a poll on the

00:55:59.100 laptop from hell which is the funniest

00:56:01.240 labeling for a thing I think the best

00:56:04.640 the best labeling of a news story is the

00:56:08.360 laptop from hell because that's such a

00:56:13.520 perfect description of you know the contents

00:56:15.860 of the laptop the laptop from hell 62% of

00:56:20.560 likely US voters approve of the House GOP's

00:56:23.720 investigation of it that sounds about right

00:56:26.360 so a little under two-thirds of the public

00:56:28.960 would like to know more about the laptop I

00:56:32.100 feel like the people who don't want to know

00:56:33.880 more are either total partisans or they

00:56:37.100 don't know enough about the story it would

00:56:40.000 be hard to know the story and not want to

00:56:43.540 know you know have an investigation right

00:56:45.920 yeah 25% right so here's something I did

00:56:54.960 not have on my predictions yay is mad at

00:57:00.360 Elon Musk because yay says Alex Jones should

00:57:03.260 be reinstated because Alex Jones is a

00:57:06.680 Christian and Christ is Lord and it needs

00:57:12.880 to have some Christian people on there and

00:57:15.520 and so yay is supporting Alex Jones being

00:57:19.440 reinstated because he's a Christian so there

00:57:24.480 you have it what the hell is going on okay

00:57:32.520 does anybody figure out what's going on

00:57:34.580 here now here are some things that I feel

00:57:38.440 like we can say with some confidence yay is a

00:57:43.520 creative genius and one of the great

00:57:46.280 artists in America but like many great

00:57:50.020 artists he's a little bit nuts like it's

00:57:53.900 hard to understand it in any other way

00:57:55.480 that he's just a little bit nuts but he's

00:57:58.320 a little bit genius at the same time so

00:58:00.220 it's all confusing because he's definitely

00:58:02.700 genius he definitely looks nuts and I

00:58:05.900 think that those things you know operate

00:58:07.640 together so often that that's no surprise

00:58:09.920 right but can you imagine what is he

00:58:13.980 trying to accomplish what do you think his

00:58:17.140 play is what is the play is yay trying to

00:58:22.240 take Trump's far-right base maybe it looks

00:58:29.820 like yay is going to try to become

00:58:31.440 president by taking Trump's original view

00:58:35.880 you know his hard-ass immigration view and

00:58:39.200 you know hard-ass on other things and just

00:58:41.900 be more Christian and more you know more

00:58:45.300 extreme and you know backing backing the

00:58:49.180 people who have been banned etc so I don't

00:58:52.620 know exactly what his plan is that

00:58:54.460 doesn't seem like the best plan in the

00:58:56.820 world but let me ask you this how many of

00:59:00.720 you are sure that the the dinner event at

00:59:06.780 Mar-a-Lago was a setup there was some

00:59:09.400 kind of an op not necessarily only by a but

00:59:12.900 by some other forces how many of you would

00:59:15.400 say that didn't happen naturally all of

00:59:17.900 you right most of you most of you could

00:59:21.980 see that it was some kind of a op now do

00:59:24.980 you see the news treating it that way the

00:59:28.620 news is treating it like it was dinner and

00:59:33.220 really there's nobody in the entire news

00:59:35.640 business who could say the obvious the

00:59:39.000 most obvious is that it was a setup and the

00:59:42.500 most obvious is that it wasn't all EA is

00:59:44.540 doing right and nobody that nobody in the

00:59:47.840 media is curious about like how EA even

00:59:51.260 met Fuentes nobody's curious about that so

00:59:55.220 I'm telling you what I'm going to do with

00:59:56.320 this story I might I might just shelf this

01:00:01.220 story because I think we know everything we

01:00:04.760 need to know about it it was a setup we

01:00:09.160 don't have a functioning media so they they

01:00:12.100 didn't treat it like a setup and there both

01:00:15.640 sides are both sides seem to be happy with

01:00:18.140 the explanation that you know supports their

01:00:23.560 narrative one way or the other so if both

01:00:26.280 sides are happy with a narrative instead of

01:00:28.280 anything that would explain what the fuck

01:00:30.080 happened why should I be concerned do you

01:00:35.540 know how happy I am that I went on record as

01:00:38.280 not supporting Trump for this election do you

01:00:42.320 know how happy I am I don't have to explain

01:00:44.440 this disaster like I would have if I'd said

01:00:48.260 yeah this is your best chance for president is

01:00:50.320 this Trump guy like I did last time I would

01:00:53.640 have at least tried to put it in context and

01:00:55.780 you know explain what's the best way to look at

01:00:58.460 it if there is one but I don't have to do

01:01:00.740 that let me ask you how easy would it have

01:01:05.080 been for Trump to explain this away if Trump

01:01:08.740 were a full full-strength Trump the one who

01:01:11.740 explained Rosie O'Donnell away you know and

01:01:15.520 the things he said about women he explained a

01:01:17.860 lot of stuff away this would be easy to

01:01:20.500 explain away would you like me to model it

01:01:23.200 you know I've done it before here's the

01:01:25.680 quick version Trump why do you let those

01:01:29.160 terrible people go to dinner with you here's

01:01:31.840 my answer I'm running for president I will

01:01:37.540 let any citizen talk to me about any

01:01:39.660 topic period and I would like to support

01:01:44.160 that right for you as well in fact maybe

01:01:47.200 maybe the people who disagree with you

01:01:49.160 should spend a little more time with you

01:01:50.780 maybe you should spend time with people

01:01:52.660 who disagree with you if you think that

01:01:55.020 I'm adopting the opinions of every person I

01:01:57.200 eat dinner with well that would be insane

01:01:59.940 do you know how many people I eat dinner

01:02:02.060 with do you think they all agree with me

01:02:04.360 do you think every time I eat dinner I

01:02:06.000 change my opinion of course not do you

01:02:08.700 every time you sit down is it with only

01:02:11.840 people who agree with you I hope not now

01:02:14.860 I hear what you're saying about the

01:02:16.520 association I want to tell you that in

01:02:18.980 the future I plan to associate with people

01:02:21.700 you hate on both sides I'm going to talk

01:02:24.400 to Chuck Schumer next week how do you like

01:02:26.340 that some of you think that's pretty bad

01:02:28.800 doesn't matter I'm going to talk to

01:02:31.320 anybody I want no restrictions don't

01:02:34.580 don't tell me that their opinion war

01:02:36.800 splashed onto me don't don't tell me I'm

01:02:42.260 picking up opinions because I ate a I ate

01:02:45.040 a taco with somebody that doesn't happen

01:02:47.140 right he made his case I listened that's

01:02:50.960 the whole story and if somebody else that

01:02:53.400 you don't like wants to have dinner with

01:02:54.880 me I'm going to do it I'm going to have

01:02:56.920 dinner with anybody I fucking want and

01:02:59.260 I'm going to do it right in front of you

01:03:00.480 publicly if you like and that's not going

01:03:04.780 to change so if he did that and he and he

01:03:08.760 took the high ground because the high

01:03:10.240 ground exists right the high ground is

01:03:12.580 easy I will I'm not going to kick an

01:03:16.420 American citizen away from my table if

01:03:19.300 they're talking to me politely I just

01:03:21.020 happen to disagree you know with what

01:03:23.260 they say it'd be easy and the fact that

01:03:27.320 Trump is not doing this easy play what's

01:03:30.800 that tell you what do you make of that

01:03:34.280 it's such an easy play am I am I wrong

01:03:38.780 it's just too easy to make it all go away

01:03:41.140 you just have to say yeah I didn't know

01:03:43.180 but I can associate with anybody I want

01:03:45.480 and put that on the table put on the table

01:03:49.060 that the that I should only have dinner

01:03:51.100 with people you approve if that's your

01:03:53.240 point of view if that's your point of

01:03:55.240 view say it out loud see how it sounds

01:03:57.220 see how it sounds to say that the

01:03:59.280 president should simply not even have a

01:04:01.480 conversation with somebody he disagrees with

01:04:03.400 how does that sound it sounds nuts

01:04:06.920 doesn't it right and further I'm going to

01:04:09.880 talk to Putin I'm going to talk to Kim

01:04:11.880 Jong-un I'm going to talk to President

01:04:13.460 Xi how do you feel about that yeah don't

01:04:18.060 don't limit your president you should

01:04:19.560 have access to everybody so too easy I'm

01:04:27.060 making you laugh yeah but it is too easy

01:04:29.840 right it clearly Trump has lost a step

01:04:31.940 because that's just such an easy play so

01:04:38.820 Kim Kardashian has spoken up about

01:04:40.820 Balenciaga there are famous ads that seem

01:04:43.960 to at least the ads appeared to be

01:04:47.800 pedophile supportive now we're waiting

01:04:51.740 for Balenciaga to clarify and explain or

01:04:55.360 apologize and they had more than 48

01:04:58.100 hours and Kim Kardashian talked to them

01:05:03.680 and here's here's what she reports as

01:05:06.160 part of a tweet thread she said I

01:05:08.240 appreciate Balenciaga's removal of the

01:05:10.460 campaigns and apology okay so they

01:05:12.860 apologize that's good and speaking with

01:05:15.020 them I believe they understand the

01:05:17.220 seriousness of the issue and will take

01:05:19.360 the necessary measures for this to never

01:05:21.180 happen again well a good apology also

01:05:23.900 requires you to say that you'll not do it

01:05:26.980 again what are you going to do

01:05:27.860 differently so they said so they gave an

01:05:29.860 apology and they said what they would do

01:05:32.260 differently so those are good things so

01:05:34.780 far so good and then we get to the part

01:05:40.540 where Balenciaga explains how this could

01:05:44.080 have happened in the first part you know

01:05:46.580 that's the most interesting part right

01:05:48.040 the apology is necessary but more than

01:05:51.060 that we want to know how it happened in

01:05:53.300 the first place you know how would a

01:05:55.240 major company allow pro pedophile stuff

01:05:58.800 on their stuff and so here's the part

01:06:01.880 where Kim Kardashian is reporting how they

01:06:04.600 explained how it could have ever

01:06:06.520 happened in the first place and that

01:06:15.660 was it that was it no explanation no

01:06:21.520 explanation to Kim Kardashian that she

01:06:23.780 shared with us no explanation in the

01:06:26.420 news no speculation from people who

01:06:29.720 support them they just confessed to being

01:06:34.440 pedophiles well how else am I supposed to

01:06:37.640 interpret this there's not really a

01:06:40.760 second way to interpret this is there

01:06:42.320 Fox News had an explanation did they

01:06:50.280 Fox News had an explanation what was

01:06:54.300 that what was that explanation I don't

01:06:59.140 first of all I don't believe you that

01:07:00.760 Fox News had an explanation I don't

01:07:02.840 believe that

01:07:03.240 Tucker had an explanation no they

01:07:11.420 didn't unless the explanation was that

01:07:13.640 pedophiles were part of their process

01:07:16.600 they repeated whatever was trotted out well the

01:07:21.820 explanation that the photographer was just

01:07:24.020 following orders may be true but it

01:07:27.360 doesn't explain why he was given those

01:07:29.200 orders so nobody said why was the

01:07:32.000 photographer told to photograph this they

01:07:37.600 all use the same designer for ads do they

01:07:41.500 those various companies so but honestly how

01:07:46.800 could you if Kim Kardashian is reporting this

01:07:50.620 straight it looks like it I'm I have no

01:07:53.520 reason to doubt what she says did she

01:07:55.920 really leave that meeting without getting an

01:07:57.980 explanation of how it happened I just

01:08:00.980 think about this remember Kim Kardashian no

01:08:04.860 matter what you think of her she's not

01:08:07.620 dumb can we agree she's very smart she

01:08:12.200 didn't get she didn't get where she is by

01:08:14.460 not being very smart and you telling me and

01:08:17.920 she's also you know I believe she's

01:08:20.880 studying to try to pass the bar you know

01:08:23.060 so she'll shove an attorney's qualifications

01:08:25.980 you don't think she asked the question how

01:08:28.200 did it happen well let me ask you do you

01:08:30.520 think do you think she asked the question

01:08:32.240 how did this ever happen do you think she

01:08:36.980 didn't ask that question maybe maybe but

01:08:46.200 whether she asked the question or not

01:08:48.800 would you agree that Balenciaga has never

01:08:51.980 offered any kind of explanation would you

01:08:54.700 agree they have not offered any kind of

01:08:57.140 explanation not a whoops not a we didn't

01:09:00.780 notice not a somebody got fired and won't

01:09:04.100 happen again nothing I mean to me this

01:09:07.780 looks like a full confession how else am

01:09:10.200 I supposed to interpret it does everybody

01:09:12.600 agree that this is a full confession I

01:09:15.420 mean I would be happy to see any

01:09:17.540 clarification they had I would take that

01:09:19.340 seriously but if they don't want to offer a

01:09:21.600 clarification you are completely within

01:09:25.320 within your I'd say within your ethical rights to

01:09:30.600 say they have confessed am I wrong they have

01:09:35.280 confessed this is amazing still in business

01:09:39.500 still making stuff or whatever the hell they

01:09:42.440 do all right here's why Geraldo got some

01:09:48.540 attention he tweeted that in the spirit of

01:09:51.720 Thanksgiving I think this was yesterday or

01:09:53.420 the day before he tweeted it Trump should

01:09:55.280 announce that he's no longer a presidential

01:09:56.920 candidate and President Biden should announce

01:09:59.360 that Trump is pardoned for any and all federal

01:10:01.940 offenses

01:10:02.500 Geraldo you're leaving something out

01:10:06.980 you're leaving something out

01:10:10.500 shouldn't there also be a pardon for Joe and

01:10:15.580 Hunter Biden who wouldn't pardon them I mean

01:10:22.020 the whole pardon thing doesn't work unless

01:10:24.220 you're pardoning both sides why would you

01:10:26.460 only pardon Trump when he's not been

01:10:28.520 convicted of anything it's all this walls are

01:10:31.160 closing in fake bullshit legal stuff that

01:10:34.300 probably will never be a problem probably

01:10:36.940 never be a problem and so this opened up an

01:10:41.540 opportunity for me to run for president and

01:10:44.200 immediately be the front-runner so here's how

01:10:47.400 I could be the front-runner I will pardon

01:10:49.980 Trump and and all the Bidens for

01:10:52.980 everything this is this is my offer to the

01:10:55.920 public I'll pardon them all for anything but

01:10:58.040 also get rid of them so they'll be gone but

01:11:00.560 I'll pardon them for everything so we don't

01:11:01.960 have to worry about it and then I'll declare war

01:11:04.360 on Mexico and go after the cartels and I'll

01:11:10.040 ban TikTok day one am I not your front-runner I'm

01:11:15.480 your front-runner right seriously oh I'll also

01:11:19.940 pardon everybody in the January 6 unless they

01:11:24.020 did something violent so all the nonviolent

01:11:26.580 people pardon them immediately and then I'm your

01:11:29.760 fucking president how hard was that you know

01:11:33.560 honestly it's like the Republicans are no longer

01:11:36.100 even trying they're not even trying the reason

01:11:39.300 that Trump managed to completely hollow out the

01:11:42.440 Republican Party and wear it like a leisure

01:11:44.400 suit for four years because there was nothing

01:11:47.280 there when Trump hollowed out the Republican

01:11:50.480 Party it was because it was already empty and as

01:11:54.720 soon as you take Trump out and you imagine you

01:11:56.860 know he's not the candidate he was it's just

01:11:59.800 empty again there's nothing in there I could

01:12:02.460 literally just walk into it and wear it like a

01:12:04.660 suit say all right I'm a Republican here's

01:12:08.400 what I'll do am I right like yeah I'm not

01:12:15.140 going to run for president that's that's

01:12:16.480 for an idiot but I could fucking take over

01:12:19.980 the entire government because they there's

01:12:22.540 nothing there it would be like walking into

01:12:25.080 the when we use that analogy I was gonna say

01:12:30.760 it's like walking into the rotunda and

01:12:33.260 taking Nancy's lectern but I mean it's basically

01:12:37.240 the door is open the door is wide open for the

01:12:41.080 Republican Party anybody can walk through the

01:12:43.440 door just say the stuff it doesn't even have to

01:12:47.200 be DeSantis right here you're imagining there

01:12:50.040 has to be a candidate with DeSantis's you know

01:12:54.140 qualifications which are very high I'm saying

01:12:56.880 that I could be president without any almost no

01:13:00.460 friction there would be almost no friction I

01:13:04.440 would just have to want to do it and I could

01:13:06.840 just walk in the whole the whole party's hollow

01:13:08.860 am I wrong there's there's no substance that the

01:13:13.900 Republicans lost in part because they didn't

01:13:15.880 have any positive message for the future I got

01:13:20.680 plenty of positive messages I got all kinds of

01:13:23.760 positive messages yeah I'll tell you how I'll fix

01:13:27.660 everything I'll tell you that I'll build a dashboard so

01:13:32.040 you can see how effectively we're repatriating our

01:13:35.440 manufacturing for China boom I'm your president right if I

01:13:41.420 promised you I will make sure that there is a dashboard so

01:13:44.640 you can see every manufacturing company by industry and what what

01:13:49.420 facilities they have in China I'm not going to make them come home because

01:13:54.160 that's too much of a heavy hand but I'll let the public decide who they want

01:13:57.920 to buy stuff from and if if you want to keep making stuff in China then be my

01:14:04.840 my guest then the next thing I would do is I'd say I'm going to start a fund to

01:14:10.940 help finance companies who want to come back but it's too expensive and then if

01:14:16.140 you're if you're participating in the plan to come back you're good so I don't

01:14:21.440 mind that you're still manufacturing in China if you're actively looking into the

01:14:25.700 plan to you know bring it to another country or back to America so I could

01:14:30.900 say you know I'll let capitalism do what it wants I just want you to know what

01:14:34.680 you're to know what the facts are government is going to be out of it we we do

01:14:40.380 prefer that manufacturing leave China but you the citizens can decide how much do

01:14:45.380 you care about this do you want you know cheap chairs or do you want more

01:14:50.280 domestic safety yeah now it would when you hear how easy it would be to satisfy

01:14:58.660 Republicans and the fact that nobody's doing how about the border do you think

01:15:04.540 I could own the border you've heard me say this before easy the border should be

01:15:09.940 tighter than a gnat's ass to use my father's famous saying you should have a

01:15:16.120 border security that's completely closed down and separately you should have

01:15:22.440 bipartisan economists telling you how many people to let in for our own economic

01:15:27.460 benefit it might be all of them it might be all of them and I'd be open to that

01:15:32.440 because we have in fact absorbed so far all of them you don't see any homeless

01:15:38.840 Mexican immigrants do you they're all doing something that I don't know how

01:15:44.780 they're a drag on the system because they're not homeless so I do you think you

01:15:51.020 don't think I could win on that everybody would look like a chimpanzee on

01:15:56.200 immigration if I just said those two things our our system should be airtight

01:16:02.440 separately we should decide how many and what kind of people come in and we'll do

01:16:07.400 it in a economic bipartisan way that's good for the country nobody could argue

01:16:12.040 with that that's the end of the conversation that's the high ground right

01:16:16.480 there's no higher ground than that that's done so on almost every topic I

01:16:23.200 could give you a high ground that you couldn't even argue with and it's all

01:16:28.960 right there it's right there I'm not saying I have the magic where where I can

01:16:34.020 find you know hidden nuggets that are not available the hidden nuggets are just

01:16:38.560 laying on the floor and and the building is unguarded you could just walk into the

01:16:44.600 Republican Party and just pick up a nugget there's nothing stopping you except

01:16:50.840 they're running for president is a fool's errand and I don't trust anybody who

01:16:54.980 does this must be something going on if you have to run for president anyway and

01:17:05.840 that ladies and gentlemen brings us to the conclusion of the best live stream

01:17:11.080 you've ever seen possibly the best one ever you know here here's a way I could run for president

01:17:23.320 so here's how I could do it this is like the the poor man's way to run for president

01:17:28.440 I'd say you know I don't really know anything about the government so I'm gonna pick as my my chief of

01:17:34.280 staff and they'll name some like really well-placed you know like a senator or something so I'll pick

01:17:43.880 somebody who really does know the government as the chief of staff and then I'll say you know these

01:17:49.160 are my theories and then people will say but what about your vetting when they start vetting you

01:17:55.240 they're gonna find out too much about you and then there'll be all these reasons to hate me do

01:18:00.520 you know what I do with that I do what Trump did do what Trump did I say if you if you're voting

01:18:08.200 for me for president based on my character

01:18:13.960 then you can it's a free country but you wouldn't be serving yourself because I'm not selling you my

01:18:19.960 character I'm not telling you that you should be like me you shouldn't be I'm not selling any of my

01:18:27.240 past behavior and if you want to make a decision on that you're welcome but just know it's not part

01:18:32.440 of the offering it's not what I'm selling you don't say you don't have to say yes or no about any bad

01:18:37.320 thing in my past because that's not on the table if you want to hate it go ahead there are no surprises

01:18:45.160 and I guarantee that you will all find something you don't like if you looked into me long enough

01:18:51.160 every person would find at least one thing that you didn't like I guarantee it but that's true for

01:18:57.880 everybody and I'm I'm trying to work for your benefit if you would like to also work for your benefit

01:19:05.080 take a look at what I'm offering and see how it compares but look out for yourself you know you the

01:19:11.560 point of voting is not to punish me listen to this reframe the point of voting is not to punish me

01:19:18.600 for something I did when I was 15 you know hypothetically the point of voting is for you

01:19:24.600 to get your but your best solution so just compare what I'm offering to what the other side is offering

01:19:30.360 and I don't think you should look at my opponents when they were 15 years old either

01:19:36.760 complete waste of time you could you could high ground this stuff so easily

01:19:41.480 the fact that nobody's doing it should be telling you something

01:19:48.520 you'd block me for asking

01:19:55.640 all right um

01:19:59.080 dennis kucinich was the only honest one all right

01:20:02.600 the pentaverate you know I didn't find that funny

01:20:06.120 the pentaverate with mike myers I tried that

01:20:09.160 it had all the all the components of something that should have been great but

01:20:14.280 didn't didn't quite click I don't know why

01:20:18.920 um

01:20:21.080 communion is a simultaneous sip in a way

01:20:27.800 are you kidding hawaii's mauna loa is erupting for the first time in 40 years

01:20:31.800 is that a problem

01:20:35.400 can we tell you if mauna loa is going to be a bigger eruption

01:20:40.920 all right which of my books should you read first

01:20:45.240 well uh of the dilber books you would read the dilber principle now it's an older book but it still

01:20:53.720 stands up so you'd read that one first if you care about philosophy and the nature of reality

01:21:00.280 i would read my book god's debris which is fiction but it talks about philosophical things

01:21:07.320 if you want to improve your life you should read my book how to failed almost everything and still

01:21:14.440 went big and by the way you can start seeing the influence of that book on a number of other

01:21:19.960 best-selling books i don't want to embarrass people oh actually i'll tell you on locals so

01:21:26.200 um once i turn off the youtube feed uh i'm going to say something that i wouldn't say in in regular

01:21:33.880 public but i'll tell the locals people something that's happening in the publishing world all right
