00:00:00.000
hmm good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization cwsa as we call
00:00:18.700
it if you would like this experience to go to levels that you can't even imagine all you need
00:00:24.500
is yeah you know a cup or a mug or a glass tank of chalice or stein the canteen jug or flask of
00:00:30.780
vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:00:36.040
unparalleled pleasure the dopamine nearly the day the thing that didn't make that makes everything
00:00:41.120
better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go oh pretty good so if you don't
00:00:52.480
mind i thought i would solve most of the world's problems today um i don't know if i can get to all
00:01:00.240
of them uh i got quite a quite an agenda but i will try to uh i will try to get to uh you know most of
00:01:09.900
the world problems and then solve them um yesterday did anybody notice uh was it the day of rage
00:01:18.900
rage everybody got through the day of rage pretty well uh or some call it the day of jihad
00:01:26.820
the day of jihad or as one wag called it low energy jihad it feel it felt a little bit low energy didn't
00:01:38.380
it you know what i'm starting to think i'm starting to think that the palestinians are not as popular
00:01:46.880
as i once thought apparently they're only popular in american colleges
00:01:51.920
they are not popular in their own part of the world because egypt won't let them across the border and
00:01:59.480
their neighbors don't want any more of them so maybe maybe it's something they're doing that makes them
00:02:09.580
unpopular um but we will make it a distinction between the palestinians and hamas because you
00:02:18.720
know what the uh the real war is sure there's a horrendous war happening in gaza physically
00:02:25.100
but the real war oh the real one for all of us uh online soldiers
00:02:31.560
is to try to avoid saying something that some fucking idiot will misinterpret am i right my entire
00:02:42.380
day i wake up and say how can i avoid being misinterpreted by a fucking idiot like sean hannity
00:02:49.660
who's a fucking idiot i hate to tell you i kind of like i kind of like his skill set he has a lot of
00:02:56.920
skills but we'll talk about him and vivek yeah no the the whole goal today is for somebody not to act
00:03:05.080
like you were not sensitive enough to the suffering of this group or you you didn't understand that
00:03:13.880
hamas and palestinians are different yeah everybody understands it but you're going to look for any
00:03:20.980
little any little slip up aren't you aren't you not you but you know what i mean all right well uh
00:03:29.280
i'm gonna start with the biggest story of the day uh aoc did a video in which allegedly uh she has
00:03:34.740
heard farting during the middle of her talk now if i were being an honest broker of information i would
00:03:42.760
tell you that that is almost certainly fake news but i'm not here for that today
00:03:48.720
um so i'm gonna i'm gonna treat it like it's real the the funniest thing you say to yourself as i did
00:04:00.900
scott there's no way this could be funny it's just eric swalwell times you know you're updated uh
00:04:09.880
it's not real anyway so what's funny about it it's just you know childlike and then somebody put together
00:04:17.660
what they claim to be a a heat some kind of a heat map or a thermal yeah like a thermal map
00:04:29.120
of her talking then you see the the cloud coming out from the
00:04:33.340
to which i say sure maybe you think this is a fake news story but i say to you follow the science
00:04:45.720
follow the science because that thermal map of aoc farting was no more and no less
00:04:53.920
useful than climate models very similar same same kind of zip code yeah you should either believe
00:05:03.840
them both or believe neither of them that's my advice well let's move on to the next most important
00:05:09.180
news of the day on a tv show called the view which amazingly is still on tv and amazingly there's still
00:05:16.160
a thing called tv uh the host sunny hoston and i think it's funny because she's a host and her last
00:05:26.820
name is hoston come on her name is sunny she has the worst personality in the world but her first name
00:05:36.120
is sunny hey let's do some sunny hoston except i'm gonna call you all racist not so sunny now but here's
00:05:45.140
what sunny hoston said quote i think we all know hamas has been designated a terror organization
00:05:51.700
just like many other terror organizations have this designation like the proud boys here in the
00:05:58.560
united states wait what proud boys are not a terror organization nobody nobody's ever designated the
00:06:09.460
proud boys as a terror organization now could i be even more graphic may i have permission to be
00:06:19.040
obscenely graphic let me explain to you sunny hoston who the proud boys are the proud boys number one
00:06:29.140
are not people who have done everything the way i wish people do things can we can we stipulate i do not
00:06:37.040
agree with the actions of all the proud boys let me say that up front number two if hamas ever
00:06:46.780
attack the united states the proud boys would be the ones who stop them from raping you the proud boys
00:06:55.200
would be the ones who are standing in front of you and between you and the terrorists the proud boys are
00:07:02.900
the ones who are going to get ripped apart physically to try to give you 10 minutes more to escape
00:07:08.900
the proud boys the proud boys are going to be saving your fucking life if trouble ever comes
00:07:14.900
now i'd like to add to this an observation which i don't know is valid or just sexist so you can tell
00:07:24.240
me is this valid like just an observation or am i being super sexist
00:07:30.740
i'm just going to say it directly nobody cares what women think of war
00:07:38.720
yes or no nobody cares now i've been looking at all the commentary about you know the situation in
00:07:52.580
gaza and it kind of follows after ukraine of course ukraine's still active and
00:07:57.200
you see lots of opinions i mean both men and women weigh in all the time but the nature of the
00:08:05.220
opinions is different when women are talking about war it often falls into the category of
00:08:12.100
you know the victims um when they talk about uh israel they talk about the victims when they talk about
00:08:20.640
gaza they talk about the civilians and yeah but mostly they're talking about the cost of war
00:08:29.240
and that's good there's good good that somebody's talking about the cost of war but we also knew what
00:08:34.120
the cost of war was when men talk about war they talk about whether you should do it or not
00:08:41.860
and they also talk about how like a typical male conversation would be how are you going to clean
00:08:50.520
down all those underground bunkers can you get that done with the thermo thermobaric uh munitions
00:08:58.000
or uh by now do we have a whole bunch of uh tunnel robots and we'll just send the robots down there
00:09:05.000
or does it just make more sense to bulldoze them just leave them down there so that's how men talk
00:09:11.400
about war and the question i have is um did war just clarify gender roles is that what happened
00:09:22.580
when when you don't have the luxury of just talking bullshit everybody just knows what to do right
00:09:30.080
if the shit goes down the men step forward and the women step back and that's the way it's always been
00:09:39.300
and probably will always be now no disrespect meant to the many women who serve in armed forces because
00:09:46.980
you know we respect their services completely it's a different situation anything i say that's sort of
00:09:52.420
generic doesn't apply to all of you right anything i say about men doesn't apply to all men anything i
00:09:59.880
say about women doesn't apply to all women sort of a general general theme sort of situation though
00:10:05.800
so um i just find it very interesting that uh we've automatically gone to gender roles and nobody
00:10:14.040
complains when life and death are on the line as a way of making you serious doesn't it
00:10:20.500
all right let's talk about the shameless liars so jonathan turley was tweeting that uh leon panetta
00:10:29.060
uh i guess yesterday told uh brett bear over at fox leon said that he has not seen uh evidence
00:10:36.640
establishing that he and others were wrong about calling the hunter laptop russian disinformation
00:10:43.020
that's right it's october 2023 and one of the signers of the famous uh hunter laptop disinformation letter
00:10:55.500
you know all the past and uh current uh intelligence experts leon panetta being one of them
00:11:02.460
still to this day says that he can't rule out uh that it wasn't uh russian disinformation
00:11:10.380
now what does that tell you about the world i don't know if it's telling you much about leon
00:11:18.940
panetta but it's definitely telling you something about the world you know what it's telling you
00:11:23.820
that he knows the news is fake and he knows that no democrat will ever see anything he ever said to
00:11:32.140
fox's brett bear so he can tell he can tell the the right side of the world anything and the left will
00:11:40.460
never know what happened and the right will just yell what they always do you stinking lying democrat
00:11:46.940
but nothing changes there's no cost to it he can so rather than embarrassing himself
00:11:54.300
in front of the enemy you know the the viewers of fox news he just says anything he wants
00:12:00.140
because it doesn't make any difference it doesn't make any difference what he says
00:12:15.580
all in david sacks uh and the others whose names are harder to pronounce or harder to remember
00:12:22.700
and it's a several basically super rich venture capital uh tech guys who have a uh podcast that
00:12:31.740
makes a big splash in the podcast world so they they've really carved down a little space in the
00:12:39.020
political um sphere so when they say things they often get quoted etc they they have a little bit larger
00:12:45.980
impact than most because i'm not sure but i think everyone on the podcast is probably literally a
00:12:52.380
genius you know if they took an iq test you wouldn't want to compete against them sort of thing so they
00:12:58.460
do have a big uh impact and uh the big surprise from the recent one that just dropped is that they seem
00:13:07.340
to agree that trump did a good job and that he was totally underrated and at the time they couldn't see
00:13:17.580
it but in the fullness of time it is now obvious that although at least one of them uh opposed him and
00:13:25.180
was a democrat probably still is um that he did good work especially with jared kushner who was very smart
00:13:35.180
and capable now does that sound like a prediction that uh somebody made like me i told you the longer
00:13:46.060
that trump is out of office the better he will look the reason for that is simple two reasons
00:13:53.340
number one you would have something to contrast his work with which is biden
00:13:57.180
a you know semi-controlled border versus an uncontrolled border no new wars versus two new wars
00:14:08.060
all right and i could go on but you have contrast uh no inflation versus lots of inflation although the
00:14:15.740
inflation has a lot to do with the pandemic and and both sides are losers when it comes to that
00:14:21.660
but you've got you've got your contrast but the other effect is that the brainwashing wears off
00:14:31.260
brainwashing wears off and if you're not fed a continuous stream of new brainwashing
00:14:39.260
it just sort of fades and is replaced with your own observation over time so that was the basis of my
00:14:46.940
prediction is that people were in a really heavy persuasion bubble and that once he was out of office
00:14:54.780
the bubble would weaken and you would just be able to see through to the other side
00:15:06.620
well it's another tragic day of not having a speaker of the house
00:15:10.700
and once again it comes down to me to list all the problems that is cost i'm just going to start at
00:15:16.540
the top and go down alphabetical order having no speaker of the house for what uh days now and these
00:15:23.820
are the list of problems that uh we've encountered starting with a um all right next story let's talk about
00:15:35.820
that uh ground offensive over in gaza so i guess israel is dropping uh pamphlets uh telling the people
00:15:43.580
in the northern part of gaza to evacuate i think they're saying evacuate to the south i guess i don't
00:15:51.260
know my situation enough to know what's happening on the ground there but wouldn't they be evacuating into
00:15:58.220
rubble did israel already flattened the south and now they're asking the remaining part to evacuate
00:16:07.180
to the rubble or or am i oversimplifying maybe there's something still i mean where would you go
00:16:14.620
if you don't leave gaza where do you go that you don't just starve to death so i don't know exactly
00:16:22.620
what's going on there but uh let's talk about whether it's a ground offensive or a siege
00:16:29.980
you know they called it a siege israel did and i told you that meant that they don't plan to go in
00:16:36.940
in a standard old-fashioned way where you go door-to-door while the other people are shooting at you
00:16:43.900
i never thought they would do that now there's a few reasons why they don't need to one is that
00:16:49.100
uh hamas is underground if hamas is mostly underground they can just flatten what's above ground
00:16:57.020
and don't have to worry about somebody shooting at them from a building because the building won't be
00:17:01.260
there and mike my thoughts were they were just going to flatten a wide enough perimeter so that
00:17:10.940
there's nothing on the left or the right of them you know they're they're basically just a big old
00:17:15.980
flat nothing left battlefield so that's my first thought is they're certainly going to have you know
00:17:26.780
troops on the ground there's no doubt about that but i don't think it's going to happen
00:17:30.940
until there's not much left to the ground would you call that a siege or a
00:17:36.460
invasion i mean what kind of invasion is it if there's nothing left by the time
00:17:42.060
they're on the ground now the other fact that i don't know how to wait is how much robotics they
00:17:48.940
have apparently they have these uh giant um bulldozers from hell that they can control remotely
00:17:57.820
so the bulldozers are so big you can shoot at them and it'll take an rpg and bounces off and
00:18:03.580
and shit it can actually dig up uh landmines and they explode in front of the blade and the blade
00:18:10.300
is just so damn thick it just keeps going so certainly they'll be sending their remote controlled
00:18:17.820
bulldozers in but why why would israel send in anybody to get a shot at until they just completely
00:18:24.700
cleared it out with technology and bulldozers and bombs so i've got a feeling that that because israel is
00:18:32.060
well let me state this as a assumption so this is not a fact it's an assumption my assumption is
00:18:40.140
the only way to handle hamas is to depopulate it so i think they're depopulating it in every way
00:18:47.900
that they can i mean as much as they can because the muscle try to keep them there but i think they
00:18:52.940
have to depopulate it so that they have any hope of later repopulating it in other words you're
00:18:59.820
gonna have to just reboot just literally get every every shoe off the ground and out of the area
00:19:09.820
keep them safe if you can i mean ideally you want to keep them alive the non-combatants and
00:19:19.340
so i think that's what it's going to look like um i'm not entirely sure
00:19:35.020
do you think that they want to go down and kill those people in the tunnels which would include
00:19:40.700
hostages or do you think they just want to leave them all there because it might be better if nobody ever
00:19:47.900
found the hostages meaning there's no way to get them back alive anyway
00:19:54.220
now if you tried to cover if you tried to cover the entrances and exits to the tunnels
00:19:59.820
your problem is what's your problem then we'll check your military strategy if you cover the exits in the
00:20:08.060
entrance uh and even tried to carry it cover the air holes what would be hamas's response
00:20:18.460
well no the hostages unfortunately i think are dead under all scenarios i hate to say
00:20:23.500
but if they're underground i don't i can't i can't see the scenario where they come back
00:20:29.500
well actually no i'm wrong what if they what if they pumped a sleeping gas down there if they could find the air
00:20:38.060
if they could find the air intake they could pump uh just sleeping gas of some site right
00:20:42.860
actually that might be a way to get those so there might actually be a way to go but here's the
00:20:47.980
question i have could they could they rebuild gaza over the bodies of 20 000 hamas fighters who are
00:20:57.820
literally underground you know and just there forever what would that do to the hearts and minds of the
00:21:04.540
gazans if they knew that people that maybe they supported at least mentally maybe they were
00:21:11.580
non-combatants but they know these are their you know cousins and brothers and fathers and they're just
00:21:23.820
are they going to go for that i don't know so there's a real psychological question about whether you
00:21:30.380
i have to clear the tunnel the bodies out or whether they just you know drop them other bombs and just
00:21:37.020
collapse them and leave them there because i feel as though i feel as though there would be something
00:21:43.980
in the psychological you know moral superiority way that would be lost by leaving them there
00:21:51.420
because you'd also be leaving the israeli bodies there so i feel like they have to get them
00:22:00.060
one way or the other i feel like they have to get the bodies out of there they probably would try
00:22:08.460
now the big question that i think is the biggest variable here is will the uh the war in gaza
00:22:17.420
be so brutal on the civilians that it backfires against israel and i think the answer to that is 100
00:22:26.060
dependent on the number of casualties would you agree if somehow they went into gaza and you know 25
00:22:34.460
civilians died we would consider that a tragedy because they didn't need to die
00:22:41.340
but we would also say because i hate to say it you know you can't mourn forever we would also get over it
00:22:48.380
pretty quickly because we say well you know over a thousand israelis 25 you know innocent people
00:22:58.380
you know they did what they had to do but what if it's 5 000 what if 5 000 civilians die in gaza
00:23:08.060
well then i think people will say all right well we didn't want them to die
00:23:15.980
but hamas is responsible and we'll probably get over it but what if it's 20 000 civilians
00:23:23.500
what's the point where you don't get over it anymore what's the point where it reverses
00:23:30.700
the psychology of the entire situation until the world says you know you could have done anything
00:23:38.940
but that that was too far remember you got about 2 million uh residents they say 2.3 million
00:23:46.940
um i imagine some number have already left i don't know where they went but you assume in that
00:23:54.700
situation some number just ran for it but probably let's say there's at least 2 million and half of them
00:24:01.340
are kids how many how many of those could die in the act of war before israel turns out to be worse than
00:24:13.740
if they had done nothing i don't know what that number is but i did a little poll and asked people
00:24:21.900
about 24 percent thought that the the ultimate number could be over 100 000 that's not the number
00:24:28.220
that changes the psychology that's the number that people just predicted what was the last time
00:24:36.540
that many people died i mean way more people have died in ukraine
00:24:40.300
but probably not as i don't know if they've died a percentage more but so that's the that's the
00:24:47.660
question so the question to roll around in your mind is what's that number that once you cross it
00:24:55.580
you're worse off than if you hadn't had the war at all
00:24:59.900
yeah when do you reach you know dresden proportions exactly if you don't know dresden
00:25:06.140
firebomb during world war ii essentially erased the entire place was just erased all right so
00:25:17.020
we'll keep an eye on that one of the factors is how much we learn because i don't know that we will
00:25:23.980
ever get accurate numbers of the civilian dead do you because the people in charge of those accurate
00:25:30.780
numbers will be the attackers i believe only the attackers will have any official numbers that
00:25:38.860
are believable because the uh gaza residents themselves have no infrastructure if you have
00:25:45.020
no infrastructure you have no way to check you know against records or or anything if you have no
00:25:51.740
infrastructure there's no way you'll know how many died but israel almost assuredly
00:25:57.740
because all of their institutions will make will remain will do something like a count or an estimate
00:26:05.900
of the dead would you believe the attackers estimate of the civilian deaths on the other side in any war
00:26:18.060
right now this is not a statement against israel per se i just don't think
00:26:23.020
it's credible to believe the attacker about how many civilians died on the other side that's not
00:26:31.660
that's not something anybody should ever believe ever which is not to say that israel would fake that
00:26:37.420
number i'm not saying they would i'm saying why would anybody believe a number coming from the attacker
00:26:44.380
right the winners the winners get the right history yeah we can't even get a number for hawaii that we believe
00:26:51.420
exactly so it's not no insult to israel to say that you just don't believe the attacker
00:27:00.140
that's you know and and you could argue with me whether they are the attacker because they're
00:27:04.460
really defending themselves like at that point all right um i saw kenokoa the great doing some
00:27:15.900
posting on x about the attitudes and sympathies of americans toward the israel palestinian situation
00:27:25.580
and here's something i didn't know maybe this will surprise you that democrats sympathy with
00:27:32.140
palestinians stands at 49 percent overshadowing their support for israel at 38 percent did you know that
00:27:40.300
democrats by a strong majority favor the palestinians over the israelis i didn't know that i i think i only
00:27:52.140
was thinking in terms of you know the entire american public so the entire american public favors israel
00:27:59.980
over the palestinians um but can i uh let me clean up my speech there i believe the average american has
00:28:11.740
sympathy for both sides let's see that's the part where i could get taken into context right see how
00:28:17.500
hard this is it's so hard to not put yourself in a trap where somebody can take you in a contract
00:28:23.740
contrast contrast and a context and say these are your exact words here's you quoted saying the exact
00:28:31.020
thing and a context all right so republicans uh simple sympathy with israel or the early stands at 78
00:28:41.420
overshadowing their support for palestine at 11 so republicans overwhelmingly support the jews
00:28:49.660
um democrats by a pretty strong majority uh do not support the jews in israel
00:29:04.140
independents um are pro-israel 49 to 32 percent of the palestinians now are you as confused as i am
00:29:15.980
about what this is going to do to american politics let's see if i have any chance at
00:29:22.940
all of not getting canceled i'm getting really careful on this one you ready what watch me you
00:29:29.580
like i'm crossing the stream like jumping from rock to rock and i won't know if the rock i jump on next
00:29:35.740
like you're stable i can see if i can get to the other side
00:29:39.500
have you noticed that many racists on the x platform will point out the number of uh news media
00:29:52.220
entities that are owned by people that the racist anti-semitic people call uh jewish owners and ceos
00:30:01.180
you've probably seen that meme or claim a billion times yeah they they the it's the jews own all of our
00:30:08.860
communication now what will those people say what will the anti-semites in america say and and what
00:30:17.260
will happen as uh you know these events are playing through because i'm trying to understand how the
00:30:26.780
platforms which the american anti-semites say are all run by the jews
00:30:32.300
how are they not going to take the side of the palestinians because that's what democrats take and
00:30:47.660
do you see how confusing this is getting it's like everybody's point of view doesn't make sense
00:30:53.180
suddenly like the anti-semites are saying oh the jews control the media so therefore
00:31:00.540
the media the democrat media is going to be all all pro israel but in fact the people who consume
00:31:09.100
this very media that the anti-semites say is dominated by jews those people are being somehow
00:31:19.340
immune to the media their own media and coming to opinions that are opposite of the
00:31:25.900
the alleged owners of the you know primary owners of the media nobody's opinion is making sense
00:31:33.820
right am i making my case i feel like i need a little more here but let let me put it in more stark
00:31:43.260
terms how in the world could democrats win another major election
00:31:51.500
did democrats not just lose the entire media structure
00:31:56.540
so and then how how in the world do colleges continue to teach something that the so-called
00:32:06.860
according to the anti-semites in the united states uh the the messaging is all controlled by one group
00:32:13.900
and yet the colleges are breeding people with the opposite point of view
00:32:19.500
it kind of calls into question all of your biases doesn't it your your entire world view is now like wait a
00:32:25.580
minute wait the jews are mostly democrats but the democrats are opposed to the at least the israeli jews
00:32:36.380
nothing makes sense does it yeah you get what i'm talking about right i'm not sure if i'm coming
00:32:44.700
through yet because i'm looking at your comments and they're all over the board here yeah so under
00:32:52.060
these conditions could you not expect that the media both the traditional right-leaning media which
00:33:00.220
is already there and the left-leaning media will start to agree
00:33:07.020
about uh let's say a narrative about israel and that it will be different from what the democrat base
00:33:13.420
believes so does this separate the mainstream media from the democrat base did those two just get
00:33:25.100
separated because you know that the biggest risk in america has been that the media and the democrat
00:33:31.660
base were always on the same side and now in perhaps one of the biggest question of our times they just
00:33:40.540
and it made it clear i think it would be very clear to the you know the uh the media that they're in
00:33:49.980
trouble and that their own base has somehow been radicalized against their interests so what does that do
00:34:01.660
i mean here what i'd expect would be a massive shift of uh american jewish opinion toward republican
00:34:09.980
leadership although i i would um i will say that biden has been you know completely supportive of israel
00:34:19.420
so he's got that going for him um at least recently i mean biden was a little bit more standoffish about
00:34:26.860
the whole region until he had until he had to pay attention yeah there's a video of uh biden with his
00:34:33.900
little note card of what to do walk in room make few comments get up and leave and apparently he held his
00:34:41.180
his note card backwards so that the people at the meeting and the cameras could see his notes about
00:34:47.740
how not to be a an idiot because he had notes on the other side as well he wasn't supposed to hold
00:34:53.260
it up and read it he was trolling and maybe he was
00:35:00.380
so i got big questions how this is going to change american politics but i think it will
00:35:05.660
i think it will you know what will be real interesting is uh i mentioned the all in podcast
00:35:13.260
and how they uh seem to have some agreement there there's a consensus that trump looks better
00:35:19.580
you know as time goes by and i wonder if the mainstream media will start to adopt that
00:35:27.900
i mean that's a lot that that would be a big big swing you say never but remember the context here is
00:35:34.620
that the mainstream media may have broken ranks with the democrat base
00:35:41.660
so they may not be on the same team anymore and what does that what does that do i don't know all right
00:35:55.500
so i guess there are a couple of republicans uh representatives tom tiffany and andy ogles
00:36:02.620
uh wisconsin and tennessee respectively and they're introducing uh legislation that would ban
00:36:10.140
uh the biden administration from importing palestinians to the united states to be resettled in american
00:36:17.100
communities and um so this is a brand new thing breitbart is writing about it and it's uh called the
00:36:28.060
guaranteeing aggressors zero admissions act or the gaza act okay they true they try too hard
00:36:35.740
so you see the problem right the problem is they have not made the distinction between
00:36:42.300
hamas and palestinian residents now i find that odious
00:36:49.260
and i would agree with that i think joel pollock was pushing back on this it's notable that he's
00:36:56.460
also associated with breitbart so breitbart is not one opinion which is interesting to know they're not
00:37:03.100
of one opinion and uh points out that for israel to do what it needs to do in gaza it would be quite
00:37:12.860
good if the you know non-combatants had a place to go and could be at least temporarily uh taken care of
00:37:21.340
now i understand that uh i understand both opinions all right those are two opinions that make sense to me
00:37:29.900
neither of them are illogical uh both of them are grounded in people's best understanding what would be the
00:37:37.260
moral way forward so it's more of a tactical strategic question than it is a moral question in my opinion but
00:37:53.020
we'd just be asking for trouble you know we're just asking for trouble if there's one thing that
00:38:01.180
my cancellation might have taught you it goes like this we have to learn to separate opinions about
00:38:10.540
people's you know dna or even their culture from what brainwashing they have been subjected to because
00:38:18.780
the brainwashing has nothing to do with your your race or anything else it's not your religion it's
00:38:25.740
it's just some code that's in your head and if you discriminate against people who have code in their head
00:38:31.100
you're not exactly a racist it's about people whose idea is they want to kill you you don't want to be around them
00:38:38.780
so uh right now i think i saw uh it was a news thing
00:38:45.420
that uh christopher ruffo is it rufo or ruffo i was i'm sure i say his name wrong but uh
00:38:52.940
he says that harvard is uh just listen to this i mean this is christopher ruffo's uh phrasing
00:39:01.580
but just listen to all the words because they're important uh harvard has paid a non-binary latinx
00:39:09.740
academic to quote decolonize harvard which he says is quote seller colonial genocidal and eurocentric
00:39:25.740
and uh christopher points out that decolonization is the ideology of barbarism
00:39:31.500
both at home and abroad i added to that i said you should get the fuck away from anybody who uses the
00:39:39.340
word colonizer in a serious way i mean i use it in a humorous way but you should get the
00:39:47.820
fuck away from anybody who thinks that word belongs in america as a description of our reality
00:39:55.660
that is a i'm going to kill you later if i get a chance word don't make any mistake about it
00:40:02.460
that's a we're coming for you word that is we're going to fuck you upward that's what it means if you
00:40:09.900
miss that you're gonna be dead right get the fuck away from anybody who uses that language isolate them
00:40:21.260
don't sell them anything don't buy anything from them don't hire them they are coming for you they're
00:40:32.300
defund them if you can yeah don't go to harvard is my first advice so
00:40:39.820
can we understand this as a problem with how people are thinking whether it's esg or dei or crt
00:40:48.220
these are all part of the colonizer vocabulary and all of them have that oppressor repressed model and
00:40:54.940
if they're labeling you the oppressor or the colonizer get the fuck away these are dangerous
00:41:01.820
people and you should try to put as much distance between yourself and them as you can
00:41:11.580
so the comment is so you promote taking the way their freedom of speech no no no no
00:41:27.500
i'm saying if somebody announces that they're going to kill you you should get away
00:41:37.580
but we don't uh just to clarify we don't have freedom of speech in 2023
00:41:44.220
not really but we we have the old-fashioned kind of uh illusion of freedom of speech where
00:41:50.380
the government itself may not directly put you in jail but they can use their entities
00:41:57.100
to you know freeze you out and they can also use to make sure you never work
00:42:04.380
so effectively we don't have free speech and i'm angry about people who say we do because we don't
00:42:11.020
yeah anybody who thinks they have free speech has never said anything interesting
00:42:19.100
you can quote me on that everybody who still believes they have free speech
00:42:25.020
in 23 in america has never said anything interesting that's why they think they have free speech
00:42:33.340
try to be interesting for about five minutes see see if you still think you have free speech
00:42:41.580
yeah all right so i'm in favor of uh banning uh all immigration from places that
00:42:48.540
could have with them a mind virus uh just as we tried to close travel from china when the covid virus was
00:42:56.700
here was that because we hated chinese people anybody anybody did we close travel from china
00:43:03.820
during covid because of our hatred for chinese people no no it wasn't about anybody's genes
00:43:12.620
it wasn't about anybody's culture it was about they had a virus in them maybe but we couldn't tell
00:43:18.780
which ones had it and which one didn't with the palestinians there is a mind virus and we absolutely
00:43:25.420
do not want any children who were raised in that environment not because of their genes not because
00:43:32.860
of their culture overall but because in all likelihood hamas was their teacher do you think
00:43:40.620
i want even one child who was taught by hamas to grow up in the united states nope i do not want one
00:43:46.940
not even one one is too many is it a gigantic tragedy that there's not an easy place to put
00:43:56.460
the people will be displaced yes it's a gigantic tragedy i would never minimize that however it is
00:44:05.020
worth noting that none of their arab neighbors want anything to do with them do you think it's because
00:44:13.100
they don't like they don't like their genes is it because their arab neighbors don't like their
00:44:19.100
ethnicity is it because they don't like arab culture no because they are all of those things
00:44:28.220
their neighbors are just like them the difference is the palestinians have a mind virus and so the
00:44:36.540
egyptians are saying it's not personal you're infected with covet so we're going to quarantine you
00:44:45.260
and of course the there's immense um suffering and cruelty that comes out of that point of view
00:44:55.020
it's also a tough choice that you know adults have to make so uh in my opinion egypt is making the
00:45:03.420
adult correct choice not treating them like there's anything wrong with them as people they
00:45:08.940
just have a mental virus and they don't know any way to get rid of it i remind you that i'm going to
00:45:15.180
try to deprogram a democrat on monday on spaces so i got a volunteer somebody who's a mega hating
00:45:25.020
democrat and i want to see if i can deprogram i want to be very clear about this it's not going to be a
00:45:31.580
debate so i'm not going to tell them his views are wrong i'm going to deprogram it it's a different
00:45:39.580
process all right um when it comes to this whole situation in gaza uh we all have many opinions
00:45:48.460
do we not opinions opinions they should do this they should that um you may have noticed
00:45:54.540
that i don't i try not to talk in the language of opinion and here's why opinions don't matter
00:46:04.700
to what's going to happen in gaza the gaza situation is only going to go one way
00:46:10.220
right i mean you could argue about you don't know the exact details of how israel will eliminate hamas
00:46:17.500
but when we're done the hamas fighters will be neutralized nothing's going to stop that you could
00:46:26.220
complain all you want you could say they shouldn't do it but what's the point of that you could argue
00:46:32.780
against it should never rain again but it's going to what did your opinion have to do with the rain
00:46:39.420
uh there should not be gravity but there is that's not really a conversation so when we're talking
00:46:49.100
about you know what should israel do that's not a real conversation there's only going to want be one
00:46:57.580
thing that happens as soon as hamas did the attack the way they did the rest was just written so so
00:47:06.380
saying i don't like it or or saying you you shouldn't go in and attack you know on the ground
00:47:16.460
what's the difference they're not going to listen to me do you think they should do you think anybody
00:47:22.700
should listen to me no so let me teach you a little uh persuasion trick may i if you're giving opinions
00:47:33.260
to israel israel quite rightly should say fuck off because if the situation were reversed and you were
00:47:43.660
israel and you'd been attacked you would not be taking the opinions of the french am i right
00:47:50.940
can we agree on that if you're if you were in the country that just took the blow that israel just
00:47:57.180
took you're not listening to the french's opinion oh we we you think we should not counteract
00:48:03.340
fuck you you're not part of the conversation all right so we should be cognizant of the fact that even
00:48:10.300
though america and israel has a tight relationship we're not really part of this conversation
00:48:16.140
but here's a persuasion tip for you but i'll tell you one thing that they would appreciate
00:48:25.340
because everybody does a better idea opinions are worthless if you're not in israel making decisions
00:48:34.780
but maybe a suggestion so that's what i'm going to do i'm going to make a suggestion
00:48:46.060
if it's one that they had not considered then that's additive it doesn't mean that they would use
00:48:52.060
anything i suggest but it would have this one minor benefit it would open your imagination
00:48:58.940
to more than the options that we see now because the options that i see are that you could never put
00:49:06.300
the palestinians back into gaza the situation will just be recreated because you've got a million
00:49:13.420
children who have already been radicalized right just put them back it just regrows into hamas too
00:49:20.220
so you can't have that because samas too would have better weapons because you know technology moves forward
00:49:27.660
and you can't leave it empty because then it's genocide um so what do you do so here's where i'm
00:49:36.460
going to add a suggestion for what to do you know once once the loss has been neutralized
00:49:42.300
uh in 2023 how do you how do you build a better place here's my suggestion since you can never have
00:49:51.740
the um palestinians in charge of gaza again i think there's no way that'll ever happen again but you also
00:50:00.700
can't have israel in charge because then it's you know that's a bad look and it's bad in a lot of ways
00:50:09.340
but here's what you might be able to do um you might be able to uh get saudi arabia to take
00:50:15.340
custodial control of gaza not own it and be under a security umbrella that is purely israel
00:50:24.860
so that you know the police and the military and the borders all israel the intelligence all israel
00:50:31.660
but you would ask saudi arabia to be the adult in the room do you think saudi arabia
00:50:37.980
would like to be framed as the peacemaking adult in the room i'm going to say yes because i think
00:50:46.060
mbs the crown prince who you know we don't forgive him for his bone sawing but at the same time he
00:50:52.700
clearly is a um progressive not in the way we use it here but he's certainly willing to look at things
00:51:01.660
and change them in a different way than what has gone before he is a deal maker he seems to be able
00:51:06.940
to work with netanyahu and he was interested in some kind of an accord with israel that is now on hold
00:51:13.820
because of this situation but given that we know saudi arabia and israel had a an interest in reaching
00:51:20.700
an accord in the first place i'm sure they still do they wish that this had not happened and given that
00:51:27.100
the hamas was trying to probably stop that accord from going through the the number one thing you'd
00:51:34.460
want to do is not let them win which is to stop progress so here's what you do you say um we can't
00:51:43.660
go forward under our current conditions but let us add a sweetener to the deal and the sweetener is
00:51:50.700
saudi we would love you to be sort of the the stewards in much the way you are the stewards of
00:51:58.620
the holy lands right saudi arabia already has the uh the respect of the rest of the muslim world
00:52:08.060
because they control the holy lands and i think you'd agree they do a good job of it right because
00:52:15.020
there's massive you know uh annual migrations to see the holy lands and it largely works
00:52:22.700
right so i think they have this unique role in the islamic world as sort of the being above it all
00:52:30.220
you know being a little bit above the politics of it controlling the religious faith and i think they
00:52:36.700
could do that in uh gaza i think they could be a credible custodian as long as they're not in charge
00:52:47.020
of the security because israel's gonna never let go of that i assume now i would add to that um
00:52:57.660
that they should have an a an idea of what a rebuilt gaza looks like
00:53:02.380
and if you imagine that they came up with a stable situation with a saudi custodial control that's the
00:53:11.900
key word custodial you know so it's not ownership it's just responsibility basically
00:53:20.060
um do you think that would attract investment i think so i think you could attract investment
00:53:28.860
if you had a stable situation that um prevented hamas from taking power
00:53:34.860
do you think that it would be time especially with the saudis having an interest in nuclear energy
00:53:41.820
and israel having capabilities don't you think it's time to put a nuclear power plant in gaza
00:53:49.100
so they can desalinate so that the you know their water is not controlled by somebody else
00:53:55.180
but well in fact israel is still out of control but um it would also give them electricity and
00:54:01.660
would give it to them at a reasonable price now you might say to yourself but scott nobody wants a
00:54:07.820
nuclear power plant in their backyard well i think the gaza residents have seen more risk
00:54:15.580
than a nuclear power plant the type of which has never had a meltdown you know the modern versions
00:54:21.980
i think they would take that risk i mean i don't think that they're you know scientifically morons
00:54:31.180
but i think they would take that risk so imagine if you will uh a new gaza built with green tech
00:54:38.460
turned into basically switzerland for that area switzerland for that area and
00:54:48.300
maybe they're the place that other uh islamic uh people who are escaping from let's say whatever
00:54:58.140
badness is in their own area maybe it's a place that refugees go
00:55:03.420
because you know of course you'd have to vet them pretty carefully
00:55:08.300
but uh that's my suggestion my suggestion is to have a
00:55:11.260
uh to create an image of what the end state looks like create a positive image of what the end state
00:55:19.260
looks like if you can get people to debate the end state then you've made them think past the carnage
00:55:27.740
carnage is guaranteed but you could rebuild gaza as a you know a resort destination
00:55:36.300
high standard of living you know model of how to recreate things not too far from actually uh trump's
00:55:44.060
idea of building a greenfield city from scratch in the united states on government land i'm all about
00:55:51.420
that because i think one of the biggest the biggest things in the future is that if you start from
00:55:58.060
scratch using modern technology and green technology you could build something like we've never built
00:56:03.580
before yet a city you could design it from scratch and it would be the best living conditions in the
00:56:09.900
world now if this were america you'd already be yelling 15 minutes cities don't let the wef
00:56:17.180
turn me into a globalist slave well i don't think you i don't think they're worried about that in gaza
00:56:24.620
probably not thinking about that too much so maybe they just like to have a really really good city
00:56:29.820
and get something at the end of this that wouldn't have been possible otherwise all right
00:56:37.100
and again it's not it's not that i think that that's the specific good idea just just to summarize
00:56:44.780
it's about making people think creatively it's about getting the brainstorming going it's about
00:56:50.460
understanding that design is destiny you can design something that would last
00:56:56.860
the way gaza was designed it was guaranteed to get to this point very predictable uh let's just
00:57:05.020
leave this radicalized group here to do what they want and talk about how they want to kill us until
00:57:09.900
they have the capabilities to actually make an attack how is it not going to happen right how is it not
00:57:16.860
going to happen of course it was so design something that doesn't have that guaranteed outcome
00:57:21.820
then maybe you have something all right um i'm going to come back to this story about uh you saw that
00:57:32.540
vivek ramaswamy was on hannity and they disagreed about something that uh was vivek's past opinion
00:57:43.100
now i care so little about what the actual topic was because it's not relevant to my point that i'm
00:57:50.780
just going to ignore it because it doesn't matter to anything but i'm just going to give you this tip
00:57:57.020
hannity kept saying to vivek who was arguing that he was being misinterpreted uh hannity kept saying
00:58:04.860
those are your exact words those are your exact words though though that's verbatim this is you
00:58:10.060
verbatim those are exact words now if i could teach you anything about fake news when you hear anybody
00:58:17.980
left or right saying those were your exact words they are the liar
00:58:25.740
because they're not saying those are all of the words you've said about this
00:58:30.300
had they said these are all the words you've ever said about this what are we supposed to think
00:58:37.180
then i would think that's an argument now that's an argument these are all the words you've ever said
00:58:42.380
on this topic and when i look at them they give me a certain impression so how do you explain that
00:58:47.500
that would be hard to rebut but if you say these specific words are your exact words that is the
00:58:55.180
strongest tell that the person saying that is just trying to trap you and they know that they're
00:59:02.540
doing it so hannity i'm really disappointed in you because i have very high opinion of his skills
00:59:10.060
his skill sack is incredible skill i said sack uh stack is incredible yeah he's one of the most
00:59:18.700
talented people on tv all right and that ladies and gentlemen brings us to a strong strong finish
00:59:31.420
to what i think is the greatest live stream you're gonna see all morning today because probably it's
00:59:38.140
the only one you're gonna see and i'm gonna i'm gonna stick with that opinion all right
00:59:45.260
um possibly the best live stream ever that's true
00:59:56.620
this would all stop if scott stopped watching and keeping cable news alive is it me i'm the one
01:00:02.700
keeping cable news alive but all of my watch my 10 minutes of watching yesterday all right uh
01:00:11.500
ladies and gentlemen thank you oh it looks like i'm getting good comments over here on youtube and
01:00:17.420
twitter thank you for that um youtube is getting more and more questionable in terms of how it's treating me
01:00:29.980
so they've been doing some demonetizing but uh of my videos lately for reasons that they don't state
01:00:37.580
so it's always unstated now the things i'm talking about i'm pretty sure similar to what everybody's
01:00:44.620
talking about i don't think i've departed have i departed from i haven't violated any terms of service
01:00:53.980
ever not ever and i've never even had a warning do you know that that's worth mentioning i've never
01:01:03.020
had a warning on any social media platform because i'm really careful and and i actually uh i appreciate
01:01:11.340
the terms of service i'm glad there are terms of service and i am happy to stay within them you know
01:01:20.460
deal to deal if that's the deal that i signed up for yeah i'm happy to stay within the lines that's i i
01:01:26.620
it's not an accident that i've never had uh you know any any kind of official warning or anything um
01:01:34.860
however i don't know if i'm being shadow banned or throttled in some way because i can imagine that
01:01:43.740
advertisers do not love um content about the war even though 100 of the news is content about the war
01:01:53.180
so so but maybe maybe youtube has more options you know they don't have to sell advertising on war
01:01:59.660
content but it could be also that there's some part of my message that somebody doesn't like being out
01:02:06.060
i don't know which part in particular it does seem that no matter how many subscribers i have
01:02:13.820
on youtube my my revenue you know the part that's monetized based on advertising has stayed
01:02:20.940
almost the same no matter what the subscriber number is so i don't know it looks like i'm
01:02:28.860
being slowly forced down that's that's the impression i get i can't confirm that but the impression i get
01:02:36.300
is that i'm slowly being you know pushed down now i would go immediately to um
01:02:44.540
another platform um well i probably will as soon as i can get the
01:02:48.860
tech working the way i want so i'll probably at some point move to rumble um and off of youtube
01:02:59.020
at least for the live streams but we're not there yet look there's a little more tech work i think
01:03:03.900
that needs to be done to make that a smooth transition all right uh who's watching our southern border
01:03:12.540
well we've seem to have surrendered the southern border
01:03:25.260
kiss confirm you as both an israel hater and a palestinian
01:03:30.940
all right uh that's all for now ladies and gentlemen over on x and youtube i'm gonna say goodbye to you and
01:03:37.580
you and i will see you back tomorrow bye for now
