00:00:00.000 up up up good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and it's not

00:00:08.640 really hard to be the highlight these days because human civilization not doing so well

00:00:13.620 but we're doing great here and if you'd like to take it up to a level that's almost impossible

00:00:18.640 to imagine all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass a tanker chelsea stein a canteen jugger

00:00:23.800 flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now

00:00:30.000 for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day thing that makes everything better it's

00:00:33.580 called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go

00:00:37.240 pretty good pretty good well i'm going to start with the most important stories of the day and

00:00:48.420 then we'll work toward everything else most important story of the day the newest member

00:00:54.940 of what they call the squad the progressives in in the house their newest member they made a big

00:01:03.560 mistake they accepted a man so that the squad was sort of women and then they decided it was a big

00:01:13.200 mistake they let a man in first thing the man does when he becomes a member of the squad

00:01:18.080 he pulls a fire alarm in front of security cameras to possibly delay a government action

00:01:24.660 i don't know what the rest of the squad is thinking about their newest member

00:01:31.380 but i've got a feeling there's a lot of head slapping you know you could probably hear five slaps

00:01:38.660 as soon as that news came out it's like

00:01:41.000 you know you'd hear like like five slaps in congress what were those i hear five slaps

00:01:48.020 where's that coming from sorry squad you own him now

00:01:53.780 all right uh yesterday a few of you already know from my man cave last night that

00:02:01.140 i joined a spaces event an audio event on the x platform and if you're not familiar with it it's

00:02:10.240 an audio thing where there are a number of people who are hosts and speakers

00:02:13.520 and then you can volunteer to speak but mostly it's audience members it's just people who are

00:02:19.700 you know they show up as being audience members and uh i joined one that was a bunch of people were

00:02:28.080 really mad at hotep jesus it looked like it was uh mostly black americans who were angry at things

00:02:35.340 hotep jesus had said on the joe rogan uh podcast i think the main topic was

00:02:43.480 and i don't know what's true by the way i'm just going to tell you what they were arguing about

00:02:49.260 it's the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life

00:02:52.160 apparently hotep made and i hope i'm representing him correctly

00:02:57.060 apparently hotep jesus uh made the claim on joe rogan that the early settlers or at least the royal

00:03:05.560 family of hawaii prior to hawaii ever being part of the america situation that in his early days the

00:03:13.660 uh maybe the first king of hawaii was black

00:03:17.920 and i said to myself what that can't be true and of course that's what the uh

00:03:26.160 all of the people on the spaces were saying it was a number of black people were saying

00:03:30.880 why are you why are you embarrassing us by making us look so bad 0.78

00:03:34.520 that you would make crazy claims that black people were early settlers of the united states 0.98

00:03:40.460 and that crazy crazy that the prior king some king of hawaii had been black that's pretty crazy 0.73

00:03:49.460 so i get into those spaces and i'm just listening i'm not i'm not going to be participating

00:03:53.940 and i think to myself well that does sound crazy that's pretty damn crazy so then i googled

00:04:01.380 the name of the king that hotep mentioned i'm looking at the photo and i'm saying to myself and

00:04:08.400 his entire family is there too so you see the whole royal family and i'm looking at it and i'm

00:04:13.220 thinking okay definitely not hawaiian definitely not hawaiian looks black to me now i think there's

00:04:24.180 some you know discussion about exactly what their ethnicity was but they do look you know if you

00:04:31.860 were an american looking at their photos in 2023 you wouldn't imagine there were anything but black

00:04:38.000 and and it's it's quite an eye-opener because maybe we don't know much about the migration of

00:04:46.120 people and the origins of anything you know if there's anything we've learned is that we don't

00:04:50.720 know anything about anything you know there's nothing that we know is true like take the big bang

00:04:56.120 you know the big bang was basically a gospel my entire life and then this year it's like you know

00:05:01.820 maybe not you know our new our new telescope is maybe not maybe not but and i wonder if some of the

00:05:09.760 most basic things we think about you know the migration out of africa and who went where when and who

00:05:16.100 settled what and you know was it was it the vikings or was it christopher columbus we might be wrong about

00:05:22.120 all of that it if our understanding of history is as poor as our understanding of the moment we're

00:05:30.320 alive you know with the greatest ability to know what's true and compare it to things we've ever had

00:05:36.080 and we still don't know what's true imagine the history of today being written who gets to write

00:05:42.220 the history of today because we don't agree at all what's happening right now we don't agree we don't

00:05:49.980 agree at all what happened on january 6 2020 who gets to write that history so who says

00:05:58.500 that the first settlers or maybe the royal family of hawaii was not at one time black

00:06:05.820 the pictures would suggest that's true now again i'm not taking sides i don't know what's true

00:06:11.900 my larger point is we just can be fooled by anything basically so who knows what's true it was just a

00:06:19.180 fascinating discussion but that's not why i brought it up i brought it up because when the host noticed

00:06:26.000 that i was an audience member they decided to call me out for being removed from the platform

00:06:32.600 because i'm such a big racist and then they said just to prove that they were on the side of the good

00:06:41.520 they wanted to make sure that they were you know showing that they were better than me they wanted

00:06:47.380 to get rid of me for my supposed racist past but then just to make the point i guess a little stronger

00:06:54.320 they announced that they would be getting rid of everybody white so if they saw any white profiles 0.99

00:07:00.560 in the spaces which is a public event by its nature it's a public event they decided to get rid of all the

00:07:08.000 white observers so the white audience members were deleted and this morning at least one of the

00:07:16.400 participants saw me tweeting about it maybe his participant maybe not and wanted to embarrass me on x

00:07:24.320 by showing exactly why i got canceled and quoted my actual quote what about that they said yeah gotcha

00:07:33.200 to which i responded i'm paraphrasing um this is what i was talking about that black people can

00:07:42.360 discriminate openly against white people with no there's no penalty at all so what they did to be

00:07:50.260 on spaces but more importantly what they did to the other people who just happened to be white at the 0.95

00:07:55.820 same time they discriminated against them directly they said it we're getting rid of you because

00:08:04.160 you're white and we were only audience members we were not participants just audience members in a public 0.99

00:08:12.460 event now that is exactly my point my point is they could have walked over and beaten the shit out of me 0.99

00:08:19.780 and people wouldn't have blinked twice they'd be like i probably had it coming i'll bet you had it

00:08:26.420 coming yeah we're in a weird place now but i love winning uh winning that hard it's like um the thing

00:08:34.400 you're mocking me for is my point not yours all right now you're mocking me again that's my point

00:08:41.360 okay now you're still mocking me that's my point you can't win harder than that and still lose

00:08:50.820 all right well we've got a new speaker of the house mike johnson uh who i also like to lovingly call a 1.00

00:08:57.840 fucking idiot oh my god this guy's a fucking idiot i'm sorry i can't even be objective about this at 1.00

00:09:05.200 all has nothing to do with a republican or democrat or anything fucking idiot first 1.00

00:09:11.340 all he's got a long history of being super anti-gay now i don't know if he's changed since the mid 1.00

00:09:17.400 2000s but how in the world do you have a fucking anti-gay guy in 2023 who's the speaker of the house 0.99

00:09:26.780 jesus christ are you kidding me now you know now maybe maybe he had some you know reawakening or 0.99

00:09:36.340 something maybe he's not the same guy he was 10 years ago but man if you see some of his writing

00:09:41.880 he is super anti-gay and not in a way that is compatible with our current times but more to the

00:09:50.280 point i saw a video of him saying that he has a particular problem at home he has two teenage sons 0.66

00:09:56.780 one of them is black and one of them is white and he says that he feels bad because he has to

00:10:02.780 counsel his black teen that he will be more heavily discriminated against 0.90

00:10:07.460 what what kind of terrible parenting is that in 2023 he's going to tell that he's going to tell

00:10:17.800 his two sons that the black one is going to be discriminated against what country does he live in 1.00

00:10:24.120 how about you take those two fucking kids give them identical uh educations identical skills and 1.00

00:10:31.400 have them apply for the same fucking college you asshole you fucking asshole you're you're raising 1.00

00:10:39.620 your kids wrong clearly but you're making the world a worse place by saying it in public no the black 1.00

00:10:46.180 kid will get into the college with the same uh same qualifications way faster now have him go apply 1.00

00:10:52.580 for a goddamn job you fucking asshole in 2023 black kid gets the job every fucking time 1.00

00:11:01.340 every fucking time he is so unqualified to be even in congress much less the speaker 1.00

00:11:09.120 i've never been more disappointed with anything completely disqualified piece of shit 1.00

00:11:14.880 america in 2023 we don't need your backwards views about i mean he's he's like what 40 years he's like he's 0.99

00:11:24.800 living 40 years in the past it's been at least 30 years that the black guy could get a job easier than 0.99

00:11:32.480 the white guy in corporate america and i know that because i was in corporate america and lost two jobs

00:11:38.900 for being white which i've talked about all the time he's only 40 years old so he hasn't learned a 0.95

00:11:46.680 fucking thing in his entire life it looks like sorry didn't mean to swear so much 0.99

00:11:52.660 uh let's talk about uh dumb kids um there's a shocking survey uh about k-12 and which kids were asked 1.00

00:12:03.440 uh uh what what they knew about the uh number of jews killed in the holocaust and 63 percent of u.s 0.98

00:12:10.980 kids oh actually not even kids jesus uh this is adults 18 to 39 63 percent of u.s people 18 to 39

00:12:22.300 were unaware that six million jews were killed in the holocaust

00:12:26.280 23 percent said the holocaust was a myth exaggerated or they weren't quite sure

00:12:33.300 so you're telling me about a quarter of the people

00:12:38.860 weren't even sure the holocaust happened 0.92

00:12:42.180 about 25 percent it was 23 but rounding you know yeah well that's consistent at least

00:12:50.600 11 percent said jews caused the holocaust oh my god including 19 percent of respondents in new york

00:12:59.520 what 19 percent of new yorkers thought jews caused the holocaust what am i reading that right 1.00

00:13:07.700 probably and 48 percent could not name a single concentration camp or a ghetto from world war two

00:13:16.700 who could who could name a ghetto can any of you name a jewish ghetto from world war two

00:13:23.080 warsaw

00:13:26.580 warsaw was called a jewish ghetto instead of just

00:13:31.620 what okay well you guys are pretty well um educated here's my take number one

00:13:41.140 how much do we know about any other ethnic group

00:13:44.440 you know i don't think this level of um lack of knowledge

00:13:50.840 is out of it's out of whack with our lack of knowledge of everything else

00:13:56.740 it's more of a general lack of knowledge so here's a question i've told you this before i think

00:14:01.920 um for years i've been asking young people the following question

00:14:06.800 how many people do you think died in world war two counting military and civilians of all the

00:14:14.500 nations involved and then people go i don't know i don't really know i will take your best guess

00:14:21.180 you know based on your your sense of things you know your education what do you think i mean it was a world

00:14:27.360 war give me a number i've had numbers as low as 10 000

00:14:31.940 i've had people who are like people who will vote these are people who probably are voting

00:14:39.400 by now and they said around 10 000 worldwide military and uh about 10 000

00:14:47.740 i've had other people who will say six million because they they confuse the jewish uh deaths with

00:14:56.760 the entire war if i had other people try to give me a big number they'll be like i it could be

00:15:03.960 10 million yeah it's closer to 60 million you know i don't i don't know if we can get anywhere near the

00:15:12.280 real number but you know it's in the neighborhood of 60 million if you didn't know that i see some

00:15:20.020 higher estimates just to just to show you how how loose the estimates are but somewhere north of 50

00:15:26.260 million and if you don't know that world war ii killed 50 million people would you be afraid of

00:15:35.380 another one i wouldn't if i thought that world war ii only killed 10 10 000 people worldwide

00:15:44.840 i wouldn't even think about world war iii wouldn't even be on my mind 0.98

00:15:50.040 well so that's how dumb those kids are and then there's another study or report anyway managers are 0.98

00:15:57.800 saying that the gen z-ers uh they're not getting any work done and they lack basic skills or basic 1.00

00:16:03.860 social skills as well as basic skills now i was comparing the youth today to the youth in my day

00:16:12.320 well these get off my lawn you youngsters who can't do things like we used to be able to do

00:16:19.220 now of course i think old people always said young people weren't as good as they were that seems like

00:16:25.940 universal and all through time so there's some of that but there's also something that i think is real

00:16:33.280 about this which is when i look at my childhood i probably just just before i was 18 years old

00:16:41.560 i probably held i don't know i probably did 10 different jobs that you would normally only

00:16:48.420 have an adult do right because i did gardening and currently only adults are doing gardening where

00:16:57.000 i live right i was mowing lawns and stuff i was doing farming you know i'm 12 years old and i'm doing

00:17:02.720 farming my uncle's farm so i'm you know i'm uh throwing hay bales around and shoveling poop and

00:17:10.400 helping with the milk and whatever i'm doing sapping you know collecting sap from maple trees

00:17:17.100 uh i mean shoveling snow i mean just a lot of things that kids can do but typically adults would

00:17:24.340 do them so by the by the time i got to college i'm doing about four jobs in college you know while

00:17:30.820 i'm supporting myself at least supporting some of my expenses college was a lot cheaper back then

00:17:37.200 so you didn't have to have as much uh as much uh investment in it and by the time i reached the

00:17:45.320 real world workforce i had already held 15 adult jobs you know they were all little bits at a time

00:17:55.020 but i'd worked at a resort in i don't know six different capacities i'd worked in the kitchen i'd done

00:18:01.740 uh the front desk work i'd you know i'd wash dishes i'd been a server you know i'd done all

00:18:08.640 these things and every one of them is a job that typically an adult is doing today and i thought

00:18:16.200 that by the time i reached my first real job i was trained sort of like an adult i mean i just i was

00:18:23.740 given responsibilities that by today's standards you sort of wouldn't give a kid and i don't remember

00:18:31.300 blinking twice about it it was just normal so i do think that kids today are just simply not doing

00:18:39.220 as many things they're most of the things they do are on a device but when as soon as they stand up

00:18:46.180 and start walking around they're kind of just in their house or in their school or in a car and the

00:18:53.880 number of things that they have to navigate or figure out is really really small like their their

00:19:00.200 life is just shrunken to this little experience but our you know in in many of our days we were

00:19:08.540 outdoors solving problems like physically moving and solving problems and of course the phones make

00:19:14.820 everybody depressed partly because they don't move around all right so yeah that's probably a 0.97

00:19:20.980 difference but the good news is that these kids dumb as they are they eventually grow up to be wise 0.94

00:19:28.360 and useful members of society for example there are quite a number of people in our congress 0.97

00:19:35.520 who are very pro-israel and are supporting the jews you know 100 percent and as do i

00:19:44.420 and that's good because it means that they've grown up to take on you know serious issues and and be

00:19:53.300 leaders and really leaders of the country in some ways even the world uh so what they believe just

00:20:00.100 just to give you some details is that they believe israel should be protected and in part because it's part

00:20:06.260 of uh their belief uh their belief in the rapture so that so this is not everybody in congress but many of

00:20:12.660 the uh conservative christians believe that uh jesus will come back and he will raise up the dead so the dead

00:20:22.580 christians and then he will take the living christians who believe in jesus and they will go up to heaven 0.99

00:20:29.300 um everybody else will not go so in a sense um if i could just recap this just sort of the quick summary

00:20:38.660 so the conservative christians believe that it's very important um in bible in a biblical predictive

00:20:46.660 sense that they protect israel because apparently israel has to be there uh as part of the jesus coming back

00:20:54.260 so the uh so the christians in congress and some of the conservative ones are very very pro-israel

00:21:03.380 because it's in part not just an american interest you know geopolitically but it it supports their

00:21:10.340 view that we should do everything we can to help the jewish people until uh jesus comes and slaughters 1.00

00:21:16.420 them all in a more appropriate way so they're very much against uh all the death and bad things that have 0.98

00:21:23.380 happened to the jews uh but they're very much up for uh jesus coming down and killing everybody who 1.00

00:21:31.300 isn't a believer in christ did i get that right i'm not i'm not a religious scholar but i think i got that

00:21:40.180 right no so i'm getting i'm getting different opinions on this well let's see which one is which part is wrong

00:21:49.940 uh i'll just do the individual parts because i probably just got one part wrong so one part is

00:21:56.260 the the christians who believe in the rapture the ones who believe in the rapture uh israel is important

00:22:04.420 to the whole of the scheme right right and they're also very pro protecting the jewish people

00:22:12.180 that's true very supportive of israel but they also believe that anybody who doesn't believe in jesus

00:22:18.580 will will will perish in the rapture is that and will never be part of heaven will they go to hell 0.88

00:22:26.740 so this is part i don't know will the people who are not part of the rapture do they go to hell

00:22:33.540 i'm seeing yeses and nos some say yes on hell some say no

00:22:38.820 all right well my understanding was that the conservative christians want to protect israel 0.96

00:22:48.580 until jesus can come and slay everybody who's not a believer and doom them to eternal hell 0.99

00:22:59.300 now i'm just asking if i have a right i'm not i'm not giving you an opinion of what's true 0.92

00:23:03.860 i don't know what's true and what's not true i'm just asking you is that their belief i'm getting

00:23:09.540 a lot of no's but i don't get it for reason

00:23:14.820 it's a different interpretation all right well i guess i'm not a religious scholar 0.98

00:23:19.540 but the point is that our dumb kids grow up to be smart like that now not only that but some of them 0.97

00:23:25.860 become mass shooters like this guy in maine so yesterday if you were watching the news and i wish you 0.99

00:23:31.620 weren't uh some mass shooter guy it ran around and killed at least 16 last night they were saying 22 but

00:23:40.740 it might be 16 and he took a rifle and went into at least a couple of places in maine and shot people

00:23:47.140 up now they did fairly quickly get an identification very impressive work because as i said oh wow

00:23:56.100 uh as i said

00:24:02.500 uh let's see i want to just show you this picture in case he's running around your neighborhood

00:24:08.340 so they got this good picture of him

00:24:13.140 here you've got uh you can see the still picture he's looking directly at you and then you can see

00:24:20.580 a completely different person that they've identified as being the same in the video

00:24:26.660 so one of them had a nose job uh to lengthen his nose apparently before he did the shooting

00:24:34.180 uh his his face shape was changed to something skinnier

00:24:38.420 um but uh he's a person of interest now as i was watching the news last night

00:24:45.140 i i i saw that they had so-called identified him and he even had his name and then they compared him to

00:24:52.260 the video that i was looking at and i said to myself that's not the same guy

00:24:59.460 there's no way that's the same guy now i understand it's a different angle

00:25:06.660 but that didn't change the shape of his face so i was listening to the news and the news said he's

00:25:14.900 a person of interest and he wanted to make really sure that he was a person of interest

00:25:20.660 and not a suspect do you notice the difference between a suspect and a person of interest

00:25:27.460 i don't either but i think it's you call him a suspect if you're sure of the identity and you're

00:25:33.780 sure of the crime you're still not saying he's guilty be like well this is the guy he's on video

00:25:39.860 and he's here so suspect i think you say person of interest when you're not so sure about your

00:25:46.020 identification now it turns out they can't find him but the the guy who they think did the shooting

00:25:53.700 was a weapons expert of course he was a apparently a some kind of firearms trainer so he had military

00:26:04.500 experience and he was a firearms trainer worst situation ever and apparently brutally evilly

00:26:12.420 efficient at taking people out um

00:26:19.700 how often do you think this happens where the the person they think it is doesn't match the video

00:26:26.020 i'm gonna tell you a story about my from my own experience when i was a bank teller at the age of

00:26:31.620 22 ish i guess i was robbed a few times at at gunpoint one of the people who robbed me at gunpoint

00:26:40.580 um looked like this guy he had some facial hair he looked like about that height and build brown hair

00:26:49.060 kind of looked like that guy but when the fbi came in and said all right now describe the guy who robbed

00:26:55.940 you i described a guy who looked well like the guy in the picture like a different guy in fact the one

00:27:04.100 i saw it looked 30 years older i had gray hair and not much of it a little beard stubble but not a beard

00:27:12.340 and uh different clothing i described a guy who in no way matched the person on video who actually robbed

00:27:20.980 me the way i found that out is the fbi visited me a second time which is never good to find out if i

00:27:28.660 was in on the crime

00:27:31.860 i think you know in retrospect they never said that but in retrospect they said um can you describe that

00:27:40.100 guy again and i would describe him and then they said um could you come with us and i thought what

00:27:49.940 yeah we'd like to show you something at our office what so they take me to the office and and they've got

00:27:59.300 this uh machine where they can replay the video from the uh the video cameras of the robbery and so it

00:28:07.860 had a it had a manual crank on it i remember so they could really slow it down frame by frame and

00:28:14.260 they started cranking it and they go is this the guy who robbed you and they show a guy who looks very

00:28:18.980 much like the guy in the video so he looked like a young clint eastwood with a sport jacket

00:28:27.780 i had described a 60 year old guy with some stubble and like a long coat different color everything

00:28:34.900 so they so they so i see this guy looking like clint eastwood walking through the bank and they go

00:28:40.900 is this is this is this the guy who robbed you i'm like no not even close and they go watch this and

00:28:48.420 they go slowly and they crank it and i watch the guy walk up to my thing

00:28:53.220 pull a gun on me and watch me handing him over my cash and i'm watching it i'm like what

00:29:00.740 i was there i look right in his face

00:29:09.620 and and you know when somebody put aims a gun at you i don't know how many times people have

00:29:15.060 aimed guns at you i'm up to three i've been under the gun three times in my life all in san francisco

00:29:22.260 um but you see you remember indeed the second time i got robbed i also ended up going to a police lineup

00:29:33.620 and as soon as i saw the lineup i was like oh yeah him like easy to remember and that guy put the gun

00:29:39.460 right in my face like the second guy that i easily identified looked exactly like i remembered him he

00:29:46.260 literally had a gun in my nose i was looking down the barrel of it while while i gave him the money

00:29:52.580 and so one of them i remember perfectly but it gets weirder here's the weird part remember how i said

00:30:00.980 the first one i described completely differently than the video separately the fbi and interviewed

00:30:09.620 my manager and i think one other person who also had a good look at the guy because you know what

00:30:15.540 my manager actually followed him out of the bank once you realized what happened

00:30:19.620 he's got a good look at him my manager described him the same way i did

00:30:24.980 that's right two people independently described him as a completely different person

00:30:31.140 and we both had a good look and but when they told me uh i was wrong and i come back to the bank

00:30:38.660 i turn around and i look on the wall behind me

00:30:41.860 where they had the most wanted pictures of known bank robbers and and one of them was the picture of

00:30:48.180 the guy who robbed me and i'd looked at that picture a million times and never made the connection it was

00:30:54.580 that guy so i guess he liked robbing robbing banks anyway so i don't know what's going on but one

00:31:02.900 possibility is that the real shooter uh killed the firearms guy and took his car and maybe his guns

00:31:10.740 and that possibly the real shooter is not this firearms guy but that firearms guy might be dead

00:31:18.420 so that's just a possibility given that we don't really know what's going on it's fog of war

00:31:23.540 anything's possible i wouldn't i wouldn't make a big bet on that for that uh hypothesis

00:31:31.060 but he just doesn't look like the picture to me or the video all right so for about 10 minutes that

00:31:38.980 story took israel off the headlines and i said to myself huh how long is israel not going to be the

00:31:47.300 main story and by morning you know they were already equals and by this afternoon we'll only

00:31:54.260 be talking about israel i assume well trump went in for another gag order i get confused about all of

00:32:00.820 his legal jeopardies but i guess there's a second gag order the first ones was stayed or it's been

00:32:07.220 suspended temporarily but he got fined ten thousand dollars for saying something about

00:32:13.540 an officer of the court but maybe maybe he was talking about with somebody else that's a little

00:32:18.020 unclear he got mad and he stormed out and blah blah blah now did i see a story that the aclu is backing

00:32:26.740 trump to get the gag order taken away i feel like i saw a headline on that but i didn't see the story

00:32:34.580 itself yeah i'm getting yeses so that would be an example of the aclu finally doing something i agreed

00:32:42.180 with i appreciate that uh but i don't think there's any question anymore that the biden administration

00:32:48.740 is a weaponized weaponized government and that the um the process is rigged you know the the 2024

00:32:57.860 election is already rigged they're doing it right in front of you because the this law fair stuff seems so

00:33:04.580 obviously designed to stop him politically and not based on the political or not based on a uh let's

00:33:11.940 say a justice philosophy so justice is not driving their actions it's just politics so that is rigging

00:33:20.020 the election you don't have to wonder if it if it's being rigged they're doing it right in front of you

00:33:25.940 so if anybody ever asks again oh scott do you think somebody rigged the election i'm going to say

00:33:31.620 well i don't know let me examine your question do you believe that rigging the election applies 0.95

00:33:37.460 narrowly to only the the counting of the votes are you that dumb if you think of it as anything the 0.95

00:33:46.660 government does to fix the outcome well this weaponization of the government uh department of 0.96

00:33:54.820 justice is just rigging an election but they're doing it right in front of you and it's completely legal

00:34:00.500 but there's no doubt about it they're rigging the election right in front of you or trying we'll

00:34:07.460 see if they succeed all right uh the u.s economy um against all odds grew what they call a staggering

00:34:17.700 4.9 percent in the third quarter i'm trying to remember in my entire life maybe it happened when i was

00:34:25.780 little have what was the last time we had a 4.9 percent growth in the economy when we weren't

00:34:32.740 coming off a recession or something never do you believe it's not true

00:34:42.740 hmm oh maybe it's just because inflation's up oh that's why it's just inflation's up all right okay got 0.71

00:34:50.500 it everybody raised their prices yeah it's bullshit okay but what is true apparently is that we did 0.81

00:34:57.460 not go into a recession would you agree with that does it look like recession didn't happen yeah so 0.94

00:35:06.580 i'm going to take credit for uh another prediction that was counter to the experts will will you give

00:35:13.460 me that one if you've been watching for a while i was one of the few people who said i don't think there

00:35:18.340 is going to be a recession and almost all the experts said oh yeah definitely definitely

00:35:23.780 recession so i'm going to take that one as a victory because i got that one all right as jesse

00:35:32.580 waters and other people are reporting jesse does a great job on these complicated stories i always

00:35:38.740 recommend jesse waters for the cleanest clearest um summaries of the most complicated stuff he's great

00:35:47.220 at that um so chuck grassley has some information that 40 fbi informants had been spying on the biden

00:35:57.140 the so-called crime family for 15 years

00:36:02.820 40 different informants apparently many of them had information that would have been actionable this

00:36:08.340 these these are the claims um but uh in each case they were blocked or nothing happened and that that

00:36:17.380 blocking continues today um and that uh and that the fbi basically was

00:36:30.020 trying to trying to get trump when they made up the dossier stuff

00:36:33.380 and tried to protect biden for 15 years which would suggest that the fbi is sort of rogue if not

00:36:42.100 just controlled by democrats now what's fascinating is i mentioned the other day the uh oliver stone uh

00:36:49.540 updated jfk updated uh documentary that's out now and it's fascinating and in that uh he alleges

00:36:59.540 that jfk believes that the fbi was running like its own you know not his employees it was like running

00:37:06.260 his own empire under hoover which i think historic

00:37:15.860 hearing something outside that shouldn't be outside um so historically oh it's the garbage truck

00:37:22.500 um and apparently uh multiple field offices uh blocked every effort to go after the bidens

00:37:32.980 and the allegation is that the fbi has known for 15 years that the binders were crooked

00:37:40.980 um but they might have been using it to blackmail the binders so it's possible that and that's just

00:37:49.300 an allegation it's possible that the fbi or whoever's run or whoever is controlling the fbi no matter who

00:37:57.140 the boss is is using the fbi to blackmail leaders and that we don't even have anything like a nothing

00:38:06.180 like a republic or anything like that it's basically uh just sort of a blackmail rico criminal situation

00:38:13.860 and has been for decades you know maybe since kennedy

00:38:21.140 now the reason that i can say such a thing in public without any risk

00:38:27.460 because if it were true you'd expect the people you know in charge to have to kill me or something

00:38:33.300 the reason i can say it is nobody believes it it's such a big it's such a big claim that your head

00:38:40.260 can't even hold it it's like wait what did you say the government of the united states has been a

00:38:46.100 basically a criminal enterprise you know using the fbi and probably the cia as enforcers or maybe

00:38:52.740 they were even their own domains doing their own thing who knows but it's something like that yes

00:38:58.580 that's what i'm saying and that there's ample evidence in fact more than ample it's beyond ample

00:39:04.980 it's to the point of obvious and your brain still can't handle it well but they're still collecting

00:39:12.180 taxes and building roads you're like yeah yeah i mean it's kind of working i didn't say it didn't

00:39:19.860 work i'm just saying it's nothing like you thought it was you know we don't have any representative

00:39:25.300 of government or anything like that it's pretty much just a criminal enterprise all right um

00:39:32.580 let's see so uh the big the big worry here is if these claims these allegations are true

00:39:45.220 it would suggest that there isn't any way that trump could win the next election because he would be seen

00:39:51.780 as a existential threat to the entire criminal web of organizations from the fbi to god knows what

00:39:59.140 so that would suggest that there's a jfk situation building up here with not necessarily an

00:40:06.900 assassination but it could be the law fair it could be something to just take trump out trump has let

00:40:15.140 me just say one thing about trump you know i'm still backing ramaswamy i think we need to go younger but

00:40:22.660 he is brave he's legitimately brave i wasn't sure that that was you know just part of his act but the

00:40:34.100 more you see of him the more it it looks true he looks like he's risking his life to see if he can

00:40:41.780 clean things up and he knows it he would have to know he's risking his life uh you know after after he killed

00:40:51.060 uh uh uh sulamani the iranian terrorist guy and i assumed that would just open up the the ability for

00:41:00.340 iran to assassinate him back but they wisely chose not to yeah i don't think they could have taken that 0.98

00:41:07.860 hit but uh the the balls on that guy like he just kills this guy he just orders him killed and then 0.99

00:41:16.580 goes on with his day 0.99

00:41:21.540 i'm trying to like wrap my head around how difficult it would be

00:41:26.260 to be in his situation where he's being threatened with jail every day

00:41:31.220 he's got like tons of people who want to take him out for every reason you could imagine

00:41:36.100 he has every reason to retire and not put up with any of this stuff

00:41:39.300 and he just can't do it he's he's drawn to the fight so well all right uh israel uh had what they

00:41:50.100 call their biggest raid yet on gaza but nobody nobody on the israeli side was injured so it was

00:41:58.340 mostly just tanks nobody got into the tanks they drove around for a while and did whatever they needed

00:42:04.180 to do or accomplished whatever they needed to do and came back um i would assume that in this kind of

00:42:10.900 operation there are a whole bunch of probes before there would be some kind of a larger attack so i would

00:42:17.940 put this in the probe category not the raid category um now the uh the talk is a is about the question of

00:42:31.220 whether they should go in quickly or going slowly i would like to as i have before question the military

00:42:38.020 experts who say that the longer you wait the harder it's going to be because they'll have time to prepare

00:42:45.060 um i'm not sure that's true because both sides have time to prepare but if both sides prepared equally

00:42:53.220 wouldn't israel have an advantage because i think you know having everybody trapped in a kill zone 0.95

00:42:59.380 and preparing is very much better than being in the kill zone and being prepared to kill preparing to

00:43:07.380 be killed you know while trying to take as many people as you can so it seems to me that time is more

00:43:14.900 on israel's side militarily strategically tactically than maybe the experts are saying however public opinion

00:43:23.860 in israel and elsewhere among supporters definitely wants it to happen fast now if you're in israel you

00:43:31.860 want it to happen fast because your your blood is boiling and you'd feel the same way you just you

00:43:36.900 just want blood you you need to get rid of the risk you don't want ever even once to think that your

00:43:44.020 children would be subject to that kind of risk ever again so you'd want to smash it you'd want to do it

00:43:49.460 fast you'd want to do it complete and you wouldn't care about much else that would be a normal a normal

00:43:56.580 opinion and you can see why they have it now allegedly and i think this is questionable but allegedly

00:44:05.540 the united states has asked israel to hold back a little while until we can get some missile defense

00:44:13.140 and maybe some missiles and other assets into the area and they say the intention of that is to keep

00:44:20.820 the other players mostly iran and hezbollah from and maybe syria and who knows who else from uh

00:44:28.580 getting active and joining the fight it would be a way to suppress them maybe yeah turkey etc now

00:44:36.660 maybe but you shouldn't believe anything in the context of war so i don't know about that it seems to

00:44:42.900 me just as likely that israel wanted to delay because they weren't quite ready now here's here's the

00:44:52.580 dance that israel has to make if they go too soon and they just you know brutalize the entire area the 0.97

00:45:01.380 civilian deaths will probably be too high or at the very least their enemies can frame it as too high

00:45:09.460 whatever too high is one is too high i suppose and so if they go in soon they've got to worry about

00:45:19.540 creating something that will look like genocide because their enemies will call it genocide no

00:45:24.260 matter what it is no matter how um respectfully they treat the locals who are not combatants no matter

00:45:32.020 how much um casualties um casualties they take themselves to avoid civilian casualties it's not

00:45:39.700 going to matter to their enemies they're still going to call it a genocide so at the very least they

00:45:45.460 want to have the facts on their side right to not create something that a reasonable person would call

00:45:50.580 a genocide if they wait too long then they might you know lose some morale and you know maybe the other the

00:45:58.980 other teams leaders could escape and you know there could be other bad things from waiting while they

00:46:03.700 get ready which is a good thing but my take is that the ideal way to go in is slow but right

00:46:15.300 so i think slower is actually to their advantage and while nobody in israel wants to go slow

00:46:22.020 not the military not the public i think it's good for them because let me be let me be direct

00:46:31.620 all right i'm i'm 100 backing israel and you know i'm not doing any moral equivalent

00:46:39.300 bullshit all right there was a horrible attack they need to go take care of it it is their business 0.93

00:46:46.020 for the most part i mean we'll get dragged in but they're going to do what they're going to do 1.00

00:46:50.900 that said let me say directly nobody in israel is thinking straight

00:46:56.900 i'm just to say it directly nobody in israel is capable of making a clear-headed decision 0.99

00:47:02.580 do you know why because they're normal they're normal thinking people who in the world could make an

00:47:12.260 objective smart you know long-term decision in this context oh the really smart leaders can no they

00:47:21.700 can't oh the people who are professionals and know how to do this stuff you know they won't be so

00:47:26.740 emotional yes they will yes they will it's their children too absolutely they'll be so don't even

00:47:35.380 pretend that israel because of the trauma that they've just suffered could make anything like

00:47:42.980 good long-term decisions i just don't think they're capable you know as capable as they are in general

00:47:49.460 nobody can be in this situation nobody nobody no matter how smart you are no matter how well meaning

00:47:56.660 you are no matter your intentions you can't put anybody in that situation and expect them to act

00:48:02.100 like a normal person it's just not a thing now i've had a number of conversations with people were there

00:48:10.820 and uh who live there and i can tell you that their thinking uh does not include the risk of world war

00:48:19.220 three at least i haven't determined it now definitely they think about it it's one it's in the conversation

00:48:25.860 right but in terms of the odds of it i think they're discounting it to zero they do i i do think that

00:48:34.020 they expect you know a high chance that iran and hezbollah and therefore lebanon will be part of the the

00:48:40.340 battle there's a good chance that's going to happen but um i think that the thinking is that it's a

00:48:48.500 localized thing now from an american perspective the thing that i would worry about you know protecting the

00:48:55.220 families in the homeland here is that iran would be uh so threatened by military action and let's

00:49:03.060 say that the hot hot war begins that they would um maybe activate whatever cells they have in america

00:49:12.100 and that you saw that one person with some firearms um may have injured i don't know 50 to 80 people

00:49:20.420 may have killed 16 and he's not done he's still on the loose that's one person you saw what i don't

00:49:26.900 know 1500 fighters from hamas could do they took a country to its knees 1500 people so how many people

00:49:36.660 would it take in america to take down major infrastructure the answer is alarmingly few alarmingly

00:49:45.780 few it's really just the case of whether iran says go do it if they have agents here and they're trained

00:49:53.940 and iran says go do it it's going to get pretty ugly here in the united states now if i were making

00:50:01.860 the decision as a robot how would i do it all right here's how a robot would do it but nobody's a robot

00:50:10.180 so this is just as contrast if our robot i would say all right odds of um odds of winning the war

00:50:18.500 against hamas if we go in hard against uh gaza probably close to 100 would you agree the the amount

00:50:28.900 of casualties in the civilian group is a huge variable and the most important part in my opinion

00:50:34.740 in the short term uh but they could definitely get the job done and i would also say in other words

00:50:40.180 killing the the armed hamas people and their leaders um and that that has to be done now i'd also like to

00:50:48.660 say that every scenario has the hamas leadership just wiped out and and their soldiers so there's 0.98

00:50:57.540 i don't think anybody's in favor of anything that doesn't get that done whether it's slowly or quickly

00:51:03.300 that's going to get done that that decision's made and done and there's nothing left to talk about

00:51:11.620 but

00:51:14.260 if our robot i say to myself all right 100 hamas is destroyed and then i'd put some percentage of

00:51:22.340 likelihood that these civilian casualties are horrific

00:51:26.340 and then i put some percentage that they were you know kept down to a lower level if they go in

00:51:34.340 slowly i'm going to guess fewer civilian casualties because they'll have time to maybe filter some good

00:51:40.180 people out you know the civilians um maybe but then i would say all right now calculate the risk of a

00:51:49.060 more global or let's say regional war and say all right odds of a regional war

00:51:54.980 if israel goes in hard uh 50 50 50 because the u.s military is sitting there ready to attack

00:52:05.700 both lebanon and iran i assume uh or at least back up israel in those attacks

00:52:11.620 and i think hezbollah has like 200 000 missiles aimed at israel 200 000

00:52:20.740 in order to take out 200 000 missiles you're talking a really major action i would assume

00:52:28.580 that wouldn't be fast either and those missiles are going to be firing in the meantime so it's going

00:52:34.020 to get pretty ugly so i'd say all right the odds of that

00:52:37.060 would you say 50 well give me your odds you tell me let's say israel goes in hard and whether it's

00:52:45.620 true or not the enemies say oh you've killed too many civilians of course one would be too many

00:52:52.820 what do you think of the odds of let of lebanon and hezbollah attacking israel with something

00:52:59.780 closer to full force what do you think i'm i'll just read out your numbers 30 100 yes 100

00:53:07.700 100 is the wrong number 75 90 25 50 all right so i'm a robot so i would talk to a bunch of people

00:53:16.660 and i'd pull them because actually if you took the average of people's opinions it probably wouldn't be

00:53:23.780 too terrible in terms of an estimate of it happening because humans are humans so if you tell

00:53:29.700 all the humans what's the situation you know a whole bunch of humans if you take their average

00:53:35.060 probably pretty close to what will happen yeah that's my hypothesis anyway so if i'm a robot

00:53:40.980 i say all right talk to all the people they say anywhere from you know 90 to 30 percent so i'll

00:53:46.020 pick a midpoint 50 percent i'll lower it a little 40 percent 40 chance that turns into major iran hezbollah

00:53:54.980 action us is in you know russia wonders what to do that sort of thing so would you take a 40 chance of that

00:54:03.780 but remember that's not all bad because it could be that that's the 40 percent you want to happen

00:54:11.380 if you're israel because you might say at this point you know what we always knew we'd have to fight 0.78

00:54:16.420 we always knew it this is the best time to do it because we have at least the cover of this horrific uh

00:54:24.340 terrorist act to give us cover to do the things that we knew we had to do we knew we've we've known

00:54:31.060 forever that it's going to be military and the hezbollah is not going to aim 200 000 rockets at us

00:54:39.300 and we're just going to let it grow right war is coming no matter what there's no better time to do

00:54:45.860 it but then i'd say so so so far everything's positive for israel right it's positive if they

00:54:54.500 get rid of hamas and it's positive if it sparks a larger war which they can now use um take the 1.00

00:55:02.900 opportunity to eliminate those risks or reduce them as much as possible so they might actually

00:55:08.900 be thinking you know what can't think of a better outcome than having the entire you know having the

00:55:15.540 u.s navy right off the beach at the same time we need to do something with hezbollah and maybe the

00:55:21.380 leadership of iran so but then the next question is could that lead to russia getting involved

00:55:28.340 uh or a nuclear exchange somewhere if if hezbollah's missiles are better than we think 0.93

00:55:37.620 and iran also launches and maybe somebody else joins in at the same time

00:55:44.020 going to destroy israel i mean could israel be one month away from not existing

00:55:50.900 that's not impossible is it and then if if it looked like it was going to be that bad

00:55:56.500 would israel use a nuke

00:56:02.740 because if they did they would be the you know pariah forever

00:56:06.900 on the other hand it might be the only thing to save their country

00:56:10.580 what would they do if they thought it was the only thing they could do

00:56:14.100 i don't know honestly i don't have a guess i don't know if they take the hit

00:56:18.580 as brutal as it would be or would they say you know what we're we're just going to end this right

00:56:24.660 now i have no idea but it's not zero would you agree the the odds of this sparking something nuclear

00:56:33.140 either something with russia or israel just you know ends up not doing as well as they hoped and it's

00:56:40.820 just the only thing they have left what's the odds of that what are the odds of it going nuclear

00:56:46.740 and or more than regional and becoming global because nuclear might get that done

00:56:53.700 your estimates are 0 50 25 15 i think the odds of nuclear are going to be below

00:57:00.740 well below 20 20 but above 1 would be my guess let's put it at 10 all right if there's a 10 chance

00:57:17.700 that what is israel is doing would create a nuclear confrontation somewhere and or a world war 0.85

00:57:24.500 what would the robot say about doing it meaning going in uh into gaza well the robot might say you

00:57:35.860 know what would be better just take your uh losses of a thousand people every 10 years

00:57:42.900 from from terrorism because it's never going to stop and you know try to contain it because the

00:57:50.420 alternative is uh if you do an expected value calculation you would multiply the number of

00:57:56.180 people who could die in a nuclear attack times the odds it would happen so if you thought there

00:58:01.860 was a 10 chance that 10 million people would die you would value that as a million people

00:58:09.060 why are you swearing at me

00:58:12.660 what's your problem

00:58:15.860 i don't even know what that's about

00:58:17.060 somebody yeah somebody's straighten him out

00:58:25.380 so that's so if you're if you're a robot you'd say do whatever you can to avoid a 10 chance of a

00:58:31.700 nuclear confrontation but if you were a country whose children had just been uh killed in front of their 0.99

00:58:38.580 parents fuck it honestly that's what you would say if you were in their position that's what 0.99

00:58:46.900 you'd say yeah this might lead to a world war but it's a small chance and there's no way they're 0.99

00:58:53.700 getting away with this no way so there is a slight a slight difference of interests here maybe not a big

00:59:04.340 one but there's a slight one which is that what is best for israel in terms of not only their mental

00:59:11.300 health but their future security is to go hard and completely eliminate the enemy

00:59:18.020 maybe as soon as possible even at the risk of civilian deaths that are shocking

00:59:25.140 so that would make sense if you were there and you had gone through that if you're a robot

00:59:30.660 maybe you'd have a different opinion but the robots are not in charge so it's irrelevant

00:59:34.980 uh there's no need to go in just keep the water off you know i don't know enough about a sieges

00:59:45.060 to know why that won't work if you just kept you know there may be an aquifer or something they can

00:59:51.300 get to i would i would think food would be the bigger one but what would happen if you just waited

00:59:56.180 so for reasons that are are very human people are going to be way more worried about the 200 and

01:00:07.620 whatever hostages than they are about the 200 people who probably died today in bombing would you

01:00:14.740 agree that for some reason hostages grab our grab our brains in the way that a thousand people are

01:00:23.060 dying a day that we don't see their names and they're just in the rubble like somehow it doesn't

01:00:28.820 put your brain on fire the same way it should it should but it doesn't

01:00:36.500 um so here's what i think i think those hostages have no chance of living if israel goes in fast 0.83

01:00:46.020 maybe you know a small chance but a very bad chance if if Hamas thinks that they have any

01:00:52.980 chance at all of stalling for a vantage or negotiating something away they could easily

01:01:00.740 give us back some hostages and in my opinion that would be worth the wait one of the offers i saw that

01:01:07.940 was hilarious was that we would trade all of those hostages that Hamas has for every one of israel's 0.97

01:01:15.460 hostages which are far more the trick would be they have the hostages released would be released in gaza

01:01:27.300 and then they would just kill them in gaza

01:01:30.740 now what's interesting is they might say yes to that 0.56

01:01:34.340 if you were Hamas you might say wait you're going to release them but they're going to come here 1.00

01:01:38.580 in the siege well we're here in the siege yeah bring them they'll help us fight they might actually

01:01:45.940 say yes to that which would be weird

01:01:50.660 so who knows so my guess is that uh israel will continue to say we want to go now but america is

01:01:58.180 holding us back but maybe everybody wants to hold back and maybe that's a convenient

01:02:05.060 story so you have a reason for holding back so your your citizens don't get angry at you or lose hope

01:02:14.580 all right uh president xi of china apparently you you might be aware there was a huge collapse in

01:02:21.140 their real estate market a lot of things got built and financed that nobody wanted to live in

01:02:28.180 they were unnecessary uh but now she is looking to blame the bankers so he's going after the

01:02:34.020 executives of the banks which is bad if you're a chinese executive and the government decides to go 1.00

01:02:41.220 after you that doesn't work out well for you so china's got trouble both in banking and real estate

01:02:49.700 and it makes me wonder um i do wonder about xi and corruption it seems to me that the big thing

01:02:59.860 that america does better than a lot of other countries is we police our corruption a little

01:03:06.500 bit better we still have too much but you can you can generally count on doing a deal with an american

01:03:13.380 business and something like exactly what you agreed to will happen most of the time right i'm not sure

01:03:20.260 that's true in china you know maybe in china it's just all bribery everywhere and i don't know how bad

01:03:25.860 it is but it's interesting to see xi going after corruption at the highest levels in banking and real

01:03:32.500 estate so it does make you wonder um i mean part of me thinks that he that he just wants to turn the

01:03:40.260 corruption to his benefit and he's only mad because he wasn't getting anything it wasn't helping him

01:03:46.340 so it's not really about making the country better it's like well i wasn't getting a share so this

01:03:51.860 doesn't work i don't know we'll keep an eye on it so peter isan um had the most uh absurdly non-believable

01:04:02.340 story that goes like this that the chinese spy balloons was not at all what you thought it was

01:04:09.060 and that it wasn't president xi even being aware of it how does he know that i don't know um but that

01:04:17.700 the well the story goes like this the reason we didn't shoot them down is that we put our own assets

01:04:26.100 flying assets above them and below them and sucked all of their um digital secrets out of the balloon

01:04:34.180 so the balloon got nothing because our missile silos were closed and you know we of course protect

01:04:42.180 against this stuff all right i'm not saying any of this is true i'll just tell you what he said

01:04:49.460 yeah we'll get to the part where i don't believe any of it all right so we'll get to that part

01:04:54.580 and so the story was that we're so good at hacking things we hacked their balloon we figured out what

01:05:03.860 city the signals were coming from and wait it gets better according to peter uh we figured out what

01:05:10.340 floor was coming from and we figured out the computer it was coming from and that allowed them to piece

01:05:17.540 together the entire network of who was involved with the spy balloon and somehow they determined sure

01:05:25.380 that uh that china's uh intelligence services had done this as a rogue thing that even she didn't know

01:05:32.980 about do you believe that does any of that sound true

01:05:39.460 now uh peter zan is often accused by people of having some kind of cia connection i don't know

01:05:48.500 anything about that i just know it's funny because he says things that are so perfectly aligned with

01:05:55.460 what you would expect the cia would want you to hear and it's like could it be a coincidence could be

01:06:02.340 a coincidence i mean it might be could be just total coincidence but when i see somebody say

01:06:08.420 that president she doesn't know what his intelligence agencies are doing and the intelligence agencies 1.00

01:06:13.700 have embarrassed him greatly on the world stage that looks like exactly what the cia would want 1.00

01:06:21.140 china to hear so that they would have internal fighting and not trust each other now how would peter zan

01:06:29.700 know all this stuff but literally none of it none of it sounds credible at all

01:06:37.540 so there's that peter zan also said that the american cyber skills are just way way better than the

01:06:47.860 other countries not even close and that our people have already penetrated all the major systems of our

01:06:54.660 of our foes and if they attacked us our cyber guys would just turn off their entire

01:07:00.980 operation and it would take years to recover

01:07:07.220 sure you know what else i used to think was true i used to think that russia were so good at hacking 0.82

01:07:14.660 that they'd be hacking all of ukraine systems and ukraine would be helpless because all that hacking would

01:07:20.180 take them down have you heard any stories of ukraine having problems with hacking

01:07:25.300 i feel like maybe hackers are overrated now it could be that only american hackers are good maybe

01:07:37.540 but remember when uh we're talking about russia hacked the dnc emails and that we knew exactly who it was

01:07:45.460 i never believed any of that none of that sounded true no i don't believe that they could figure out

01:07:53.780 who did it what kind of hacker would be you know getting into this sort of thing like an official

01:08:00.340 government hacker and couldn't couldn't cover their trails what kind of hacking is that

01:08:05.460 yeah that sounds like maybe maybe america did it never know you never know what's true these days

01:08:14.500 so i don't believe that our cyber people are already in all of the systems of our foes and can turn off

01:08:20.820 their lights i don't know that doesn't sound true that sounds like something the cia would want other

01:08:27.940 countries to think doesn't it doesn't that sound exactly exactly what you'd want the other countries to

01:08:34.660 think especially if you're looking to you know go to war hey iran i don't know i just thought i'd

01:08:42.500 mentioned our hackers are so good we could turn off your whole country anytime we want just thought you

01:08:49.220 should know it's a good time to tell you well i don't think any of that's true frankly

01:08:53.620 um the ceo of x uh what's her name linda yaccarino actually said in public that they expect x to turn a 0.98

01:09:06.100 profit by early 2024 what really

01:09:12.900 that would that would be the most impressive thing i've ever seen in business like i'm skeptical

01:09:21.540 so i so i'm gonna yeah i'm gonna be skeptical about it but wow imagine if it really happened

01:09:31.300 i would be so fucking impressed because it it looked like there was no hope that twitter would 0.63

01:09:37.860 ever be profitable it didn't look like there's anything you could do then so how in the world 0.85

01:09:44.020 did he do that i mean it's just subscriptions i i don't know i guess i'm skeptical that they can

01:09:51.700 really be profitable in 2024 but you know even if it's 2025 it would be kind of amazing all right

01:10:00.180 we'll see we'll keep our eye out for that all right ladies and gentlemen

01:10:08.420 that concludes the best live stream you'll see this morning

01:10:14.260 i'm gonna say goodbye to the uh folks here on youtube

01:10:22.020 i bet that you didn't use struggle session what's that i'm looking at some of your comments right now

01:10:31.140 cash flow positive well that's a good question are they profitable or are they cash flow positive

01:10:36.660 that's a good question

01:10:39.940 all right um bye for now and i'll talk to you tomorrow
