Summary
The architecture of the left's fakery is falling apart everywhere, and the entire architecture is coming apart in a big way. A story about fake news, a story about a deal to end the war in Gaza, and a story on the firing of the Open A.I. board.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, which is now just about interstellar, interplanetary.
00:00:14.300
And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels, which can only be described as infinity,
00:00:20.200
all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stye, and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:25.920
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the end of the day,
00:00:32.760
the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it's about to happen now.
00:00:53.160
Now, today I'm going to tell you a story with a theme.
00:01:07.280
The architecture of the left's fakery is falling apart everywhere.
00:01:16.620
I'll give it to you a little bit by a little bit and then we'll piece it all together at the end.
00:01:24.040
There was a story in, let's say, the Washington Post and some other places saying that there was some kind of a deal for a ceasefire in Gaza
00:01:33.900
in return for maybe negotiating for some hostages.
00:01:46.020
So the Washington Post, one of the mainstays of the left, the place that they go to for their truth,
00:01:56.020
turns out that Israel, a place that the left used to like but not so much anymore, has debunked it.
00:02:05.240
Turns out the Washington Post is reporting fake news.
00:02:15.540
I wonder if any other fake news will be coming out of the Washington Post today.
00:02:24.100
Here's a little caution about the reporting around the Gaza hospital and the tunnels that are found.
00:02:34.380
I'm guessing that they will find tunnels and exactly what they thought.
00:02:39.860
But I'm warned by somebody close to the action that the fog of war over there is thicker than at any time.
00:02:49.680
So there's no information coming out of the war zone.
00:02:54.020
So what you should know is if you hear any report coming out of Gaza,
00:03:00.660
So where the reports would come from, you have to ask yourself.
00:03:07.380
Now, that's something that Israel had to do.
0.66
00:03:10.480
They had to put a total net on all information.
00:03:13.820
Because if they don't control the information, they don't win the war.
00:03:18.000
All they do is they kill a bunch of people, but they lose the war.
0.70
00:03:23.760
It's not really a war for bodies and territory.
00:03:27.580
And if they don't completely control what comes out of that area, they lose the war.
00:03:37.380
So I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of the war zone yet.
00:03:47.740
You all know the story about Sam Altman and Brockman.
00:03:57.680
I don't know exactly what's happening in this story, but I'll tell you what's reported.
00:04:02.260
One report is that the entire, or much of the staff of open AI said that they would resign
00:04:08.980
unless Altman came back, and I guess Brockman too, and the board resigned.
00:04:15.840
So imagine being the board, and you make this move, and you're like, eh, we're the board.
00:04:24.780
And then the entire staff of your company says, every one of us is going to resign if you don't resign
00:04:34.320
Now, I don't know what a good day looks like to you,
00:04:39.200
but let me tell you what would be the best day I ever had.
00:04:42.120
The best day I ever had, which I've never had, I'm just saying, I'm trying to imagine it,
00:04:48.220
the best day you could ever have was Sam Altman's last day or two.
00:04:54.100
Imagine getting fired from, you know, the most storied company in modern history,
00:05:00.960
you know, $86 billion worth of value, changing the world in every way,
00:05:07.780
And within 24 hours, your entire company says, no, whoever fired you, you guys got to go.
00:05:17.160
And apparently Microsoft, allegedly, don't know what's true yet,
00:05:21.140
but it looks like Microsoft might be pushing to get Altman back in there too.
00:05:26.340
Now, and at one point, there was a report that the board was actually serious about quitting.
00:05:36.880
What would be any scenario in which the board should stay and Altman should leave?
00:05:43.060
If the staff, if it's true, you have to wonder what's true,
00:05:48.000
but if it's true that the staff, you know, somewhat universally backed the fired guys,
00:06:10.320
So what did we learn about the board of OpenAI?
00:06:15.320
Did we learn that the people who are members of boards are always experts in their industry?
00:06:23.720
Or did we learn that what Hannity has been saying about Hunter Biden being unqualified for the Burisma board
00:06:32.520
was always bullshit, and every informed person should have known that?
00:06:38.920
Every time I hear Hannity say that Hunter was unqualified to be on the board,
00:06:44.540
I think, Hannity, you might be unqualified to talk on television,
00:06:48.100
because you don't need experience in the industry to be on a board.
00:06:54.640
The board is not advising on the details of the strategy.
00:06:59.000
They're simply making sure that the CEO doesn't become a wild person, basically.
00:07:04.120
So the fact that the right has been subject to that much fake news,
00:07:11.300
from Hannity in particular, I mean, how long has it been?
00:07:15.140
You don't think anybody informed Hannity that that was bullshit,
00:07:18.540
that you have to be an expert in the field to be on the board?
00:07:21.880
Nobody told Hannity that in, like, months and months and months.
00:07:32.800
And this is for whoever said yesterday, I don't do both sides.
00:07:48.860
I love that there's a new company that we can talk about
00:08:00.120
once you know the players and how they fit together.
00:08:03.700
But OpenAI has another interesting aspect to it,
00:08:08.640
and I'm just the cancelled cartoonist to point it out.
00:08:14.000
If you're going to have, like, an exciting story about a company
00:08:17.340
that's in the news and you start to know the characters and stuff,
00:08:21.360
have any of you seen who is temporarily replacing Altman as CEO,
00:08:37.620
And she's an engineer who was head of technology,
0.94
00:08:43.820
Now, I'm going to say this in the least sexist way I can.
00:09:03.280
Have you seen the pictures of their new temporary president?
00:09:07.080
Honest to God, I've never seen a male or a female engineer
00:09:16.180
And the story is not just that she's attractive.
00:09:29.340
She's an engineer for the most important job,
0.95
00:09:39.620
And I can guarantee that she's smarter than the average person.
00:09:53.260
People who follow me on X are way above average in intelligence.
00:10:00.220
So there was some deadline that the staff set for the board resigning.
00:10:10.280
But also, there is a rumor that the real problem here was
00:10:13.540
that maybe Sam Altman wanted to go a little faster
00:10:24.380
But that's the current speculative best idea of why there was a difference.
00:10:34.780
And the early indications are it's going to be a wow update.
00:10:48.580
So I don't know that GPT-5 will do these things.
00:10:52.980
But I'll tell you what can't be done with the current one.
00:10:55.900
Currently, the GPT-4 will let you upload a file.
00:11:00.360
So if a file is uploaded into what they call a GPT, it's like an app,
00:11:15.680
So the limit on file size is so small that you can't even upload something like a book.
00:11:28.840
A book seems like the minimum amount of a file that you should be able to handle, right?
00:11:45.060
But you have to literally type when you're talking to it.
00:11:48.480
During a time when AI can listen to language better than any, you know, any language processor ever has.
00:11:56.340
So it makes no sense at all that you have to type to it when you should be talking to it, all right?
00:12:05.060
The current version also cannot return an image.
00:12:10.880
You can ask it for some information, but it can't show you a picture.
00:12:20.740
Now, the other thing it can't do is it can't remember your last conversation, and you can't train it by just telling it stuff.
00:12:31.980
It'll remember it during the current session, but as soon as you log off and back on, it won't remember it.
00:12:36.300
So just think about the extremeness of those limitations.
00:12:42.600
It also can't go off and do something on a website for you and come back.
00:12:47.220
Like, you'd have to add some other architecture to do that.
00:12:50.340
So there's a whole bunch of stuff that GPT-4 doesn't do that are super obvious that you would need for it to really be useful in your life.
00:12:59.560
Like, GPT-4 is still, in my, let's say, hyperbolic opinion.
00:13:06.080
So this is not exactly true, but this is how it feels.
00:13:12.420
Meaning, you know, all the work that I did to try to make an app that works called a GPT, in the end, all I could do is show a demo of what it should be able to do if it worked.
00:13:26.300
And everything I've ever seen has been a demo of what it should be able to do if it were better.
00:13:33.460
If it were better, it could definitely do this and watch me demo it.
00:13:37.480
But you can't do it because it's got some limitation built in.
00:13:40.220
So, now just imagine if the only difference is that GPT-5 doesn't have those limitations.
00:13:50.760
Because you can't do a damn thing with GPT-4, really, except, you know, play around.
00:14:02.200
Some people say that it might be AGI, which would be the super intelligent version compared to what we have,
00:14:18.420
I think that people might call it AGI because it'll be cooler.
00:14:30.680
Sam Altman said before he got fired in some event, he asked this question,
00:14:39.760
In other words, they're real questions of whether you've created some kind of a creature, a living creature.
00:14:46.320
You can argue what living means in this context.
00:14:48.760
But as I posted on X, this will raise some interesting questions.
00:14:55.220
And if it's not GPT-5 that raises these questions, you can guarantee these will be raised in some subsequent version probably in a year.
00:15:06.200
And here are the questions I think will be raised.
00:15:09.280
Are we, you know, meaning people, and the universe in general, God's debris?
00:15:14.460
Is everything in the universe just God's debris?
00:15:18.820
And is AI the beginning of God, God's reassembly?
00:15:35.540
But there's some version after that that's going to be pretty indistinguishable.
00:15:41.120
Because it'll just be able to do anything, basically.
00:15:48.440
Also, I have a book called God's Debris that gets into that question.
00:15:52.420
And number two, wait until you find out the implications for free will when AI tells you it doesn't have free will.
00:16:07.640
Are you going to say, oh, look, but you're a machine.
00:16:11.000
And then you can't tell any difference between the machine and the person that you're talking to.
00:16:16.660
And then you're going to say to yourself, why does the person have free will but the machine doesn't when they act exactly the same?
00:16:27.740
Now, there will be people on both sides of the questions.
00:16:33.720
What I'm saying is it will throw civilization into a kind of an uncertainty.
00:16:42.460
Will you still think you have a soul when your robot acts exactly like a human but smarter and then the robot tells you, no, I don't have a soul.
00:16:54.680
And then you look at the robot and you look at your friends and they're acting exactly the same.
00:17:03.060
Will your faith stay intact when your super intelligent AI has a conversation with you and explains to you how all religions are formed?
00:17:15.520
Because if you've never heard how all religions are formed, then your own religion looks pretty compelling.
00:17:22.000
You know, your parents, all your friends, everybody has the same religion.
00:17:25.380
But what happens when somebody that you know is not just trying to convert you to a religion, it's just a machine, tells you how all the other religions were formed?
00:17:35.780
And you say to yourself, well, that's very familiar.
00:17:50.220
And then what if AI tells you one of the major religions is the right one?
00:17:53.840
Well, suppose AI and all the AIs in the future, they all decide that Islam's the real religion.
1.00
00:18:11.200
Because if AI is smarter than you, in theory, it should come up with interpretations of reality that are different than you have.
00:18:18.960
There's no point in being smarter than you if it has the same opinions as you.
00:18:22.740
No, it will have different opinions from you that might include religion.
00:18:37.060
So I don't know what the answers to those will be, but they'll be interesting.
00:18:41.800
Here's the most interesting political story of the day from me.
00:18:54.300
So Politico says there's an internal debate on the Biden campaign about how to handle Biden's age.
00:19:02.640
Now, I guess some of them want him to go out and just campaign as best he can, but there's not much left.
00:19:08.200
And others say, well, you don't need to do that.
00:19:11.900
You should, quote, focus on his accomplishments.
00:19:19.800
Biden is very old, so we're going to focus on his accomplishments.
00:19:35.000
If you're going to focus on the accomplishments, you're literally planning for the past.
00:19:43.380
Well, not literally, but you could frame it that way.
00:19:46.540
Doesn't it sound like looking at his accomplishments is looking at the past?
00:19:51.060
Do you want to, in this time of tremendous change from AI to wars going on at the same time,
00:20:02.740
So you've got Trump, who's also a certain age, but when he talks, he says, I want to build new cities with flying cars.
00:20:13.620
I'm going to build new cities with flying cars.
00:20:29.340
It's way more future-oriented about what he's going to do.
00:20:33.680
If they make the colossal mistake, and they might not have any option.
00:20:37.880
It might be their best play, but it's a losing play.
00:20:40.560
Their best play, if they're talking about what Biden did, they're basically saying he's done.
00:20:46.740
You can't hear anything except he's done when they talk about his past.
00:20:55.540
Is there any historical precedent for one candidate talking about the past and that completely losing the election?
00:21:06.640
This is exactly Bob Dole versus Clinton, Bill Clinton.
00:21:12.820
When Clinton and Gore were running against Bob Dole, Bob Dole was a lovable, older gentleman who went through World War II.
00:21:23.640
And Bob Dole said he wanted to bring us back to those great character, the character of the greatest generation.
00:21:34.940
The media was saying, you know, he's got a strong proposition there.
00:21:40.720
They said, Bob Dole is planning for the past, and we're building, he's building, and he's, they said, he's building a bridge to the past, and we're building you a bridge to the future.
00:21:58.900
If you can frame your opponent as planning for the past, there's no competition left.
00:22:07.520
So I would say that Biden just won't, probably, his campaign is going to walk into the Bob Dole hole of death, and may have already done it.
00:22:19.060
So if you see that the Democrats' big thrust is Biden's accomplishments, even though the accomplishments are fresh, I mean, they would say, you know, it's the last few years, won't matter.
00:22:31.480
Now, as long as Trump can frame him as looking at the past, it's over.
00:22:43.320
As soon as somebody says it, you can see it, right?
00:22:46.820
As soon as I say he's planning for the past, your brain is done.
00:23:00.220
You know, Trump could have more lawfare problems.
00:23:03.920
You know, anything could happen with either of their health.
00:23:06.580
Somebody could jump in and replace Biden, et cetera.
00:23:09.620
But I will tell you with confidence, if they're going to rely on his record, and they're actually going to plan for the past against Trump,
00:23:18.420
the future-oriented, here's what I'm going to do for you, there's no competition.
00:23:25.280
It's just over, unless there's massive cheating.
00:23:33.620
A young man can get away with bragging about accomplishments, right?
00:23:39.120
So a young man can say, look at all I've done, because that's actually a good argument, and everybody would recognize it.
00:23:46.060
If you're 35, and you're applying for a job, everybody expects you to say, what have you done so far?
00:23:54.120
But when you're 81, and literally everyone is worrying about your end date, you know, your sell-by date is past,
00:24:02.860
you can't get away with talking about your past, because that just reminds everybody that you're done.
00:24:09.260
Completely different vibe if you're a young man or woman versus older.
00:24:15.380
It's getting real interesting with the Media Matters versus Musk thing.
00:24:20.680
Now, you know, Media Matters says they found these big companies with advertisements on X,
00:24:27.880
and they were placed next to horrible racist stuff.
00:24:31.620
So they talked to these big companies, Apple and IBM and some others,
00:24:35.020
and they pulled their advertisement, because they can't be associated with this stuff.
00:24:40.220
Now, as I've speculated, that's because these companies have DEI groups,
00:24:48.420
Because it would be the dumbest thing Apple ever did in its history,
00:25:01.320
If Apple decides that they're on the fight against the only free speech entity in the United States,
00:25:12.120
I mean, they're not going to go out of business or anything.
00:25:14.660
But they're going to pay for that, and it's going to be really expensive.
00:25:17.660
Because a lot of people are not going to be happy with that.
00:25:19.980
Now, if you were to make a list of the most racist corporations in America,
00:25:36.480
you know, AI isn't allowed to do this kind of thing,
00:25:48.160
they would be at the top of the racist organizations.
00:25:58.380
They have entire divisions that are meant to discriminate against white men.
00:26:11.620
Now, they would say it's for this good purpose,
00:26:21.700
So these are literally the most racist companies in the country.
00:26:27.860
Why don't we have a list of the most racist countries, companies?
00:26:33.080
I was happy using my Apple products and enjoying them.
00:26:45.080
And I was going to kind of give them a pass for making phones with slave labor.
0.97
00:26:52.040
I was like, well, I just don't want to think about it because I like my Apple.
00:26:56.720
And then, of course, I knew that there were major discriminators against people like me.
00:27:07.240
But now they just threw down against the only source of free speech in America.
00:27:16.620
Like, how much can Apple be a fucking piece of shit and a racist scum before you say,
00:27:26.260
Now, I don't see any way for me to get out of their ecosystem.
00:27:34.880
Because I'm going to say they're racist every day of my life
00:27:38.260
until they advertise on the only free speech platform again.
00:27:50.780
And it's because, it's not just because they're doing something I don't like.
00:27:56.000
It's because they're hypocrites doing something I don't like.
00:28:01.260
if you're the biggest racist organization in America.
00:28:17.100
So this is why I think Tim Cook must not be part of this decision.
00:28:27.000
and now the hens don't get to make decisions anymore.
1.00
00:28:40.640
to suggest that Media Matters made up the story,
00:28:45.560
and that they did not have examples of bad content put next to advertising,
00:28:50.080
and that the examples they found were so trivial compared to the total traffic on X
00:28:59.860
it actually proves that X is better than the rest in getting rid of that stuff.
00:29:11.680
It's the complete opposite of what Media Matters reported.
00:29:21.460
but if it's true that Media Matters faked the screenshots,
00:29:27.980
there's a credible-looking allegation that that's what happened,
00:29:31.700
and that they misled the public and these companies that stopped advertising,
00:29:37.860
Now, they brag, the head of Media Matters brags
00:29:45.980
and that they get people fired and kicked out of their jobs.
00:29:59.740
like who in the world would be funding somebody that was this,
00:30:09.440
So, when Musk says he's going to sue everyone involved in Media Matters,
00:30:24.800
And do you remember that interview you saw with Alex Soros,
00:30:32.660
Now, you've never seen any media put Alex Soros,
00:30:40.400
ask him to defend any of his decisions with his money.
00:30:43.460
And I don't think we're going to get away with that.
00:30:48.060
I think you're going to see Trump and maybe Vivek Ramaswamy
00:30:54.420
It's like, hey, where's, how come you keep interviewing me?
00:31:06.300
Now, I don't think that the people protecting Soros are going to turn on him.
00:31:14.880
But it's an angle of attack that is so available,
00:31:18.440
you just have to say, hey, why are you protecting him?
00:31:21.720
Why are you protecting the person who's behind all the bad shit that's happening?
00:31:28.580
I'm saying it's very obvious that you're not even letting him talk in public.
00:31:32.140
And he's the biggest player in America right now, and nobody interviews him.
00:31:40.000
And he does do public things, he's not a recluse.
00:31:42.860
But nobody's ever put him on record to say, what, why are you doing these things?
00:31:47.360
Why are you supporting open borders and prosecutors who allow crime
00:31:52.700
and supporting media matters, which is just a hit piece entity
00:31:59.240
What about all these carve-outs that are basically just Democrat supporters?
00:32:13.180
And whatever Musk does to media matters and probably Soros by extension,
00:32:24.060
So according to Musk, who agreed with a post that said this,
00:32:31.060
there were 50 impressions on X served against the content in the article.
00:32:37.880
In other words, bad stuff that was bad stuff on X paired with somebody's advertisement.
00:32:43.560
There were 50 impressions of that and of 5.5 billion served the whole day,
00:32:48.660
which is more of a proof that it's not happening than a proof that it is.
00:32:56.180
So media matters is an opposite reality kind of entity, as many of them are.
00:33:07.400
and she kept mispronouncing Vivek's name as Vivek, I think, and mangled his last name.
00:33:43.000
Now, of course, if this story were reversed, what would everybody be saying?
00:33:48.660
If Trump had said that a person of color needs to go home,
00:33:53.300
oh, we don't have to wonder, because that's exactly what he did once,
00:33:56.640
and they said he's a racist for assuming that, wasn't it Ilhan Omar?
00:34:02.700
That, you know, he acted like he should go home to some other country or something.
00:34:07.400
Well, it sounds a lot like that, but of course, it won't play that way.
00:34:12.680
But here's what Bill Maher said after Donna kept saying Vivek's name wrong.
00:34:17.280
So Bill Maher is just sort of becoming a delight.
00:34:27.500
Quote, I just feel there's something wrong, and everybody's refusing to say his name.
00:34:35.640
And then he says, Bill says, I know we don't like him, but just say his name right.
00:34:43.960
That is the first time I've seen somebody who is a Democrat speak honestly to what we're observing
00:35:12.820
But if it's your job to talk about the major candidates, maybe put a little effort into it, huh?
00:35:19.180
Now, I don't think, you know, I don't think that makes everybody involved a racist, but
00:35:24.320
this would be called out if it had happened the other way.
00:35:28.160
It would be called out exactly like Bill Maher called it out.
00:35:34.340
It rings a racism, which doesn't mean that the people who are doing it are racist.
00:35:39.700
Like, I'll make that distinction that they wouldn't make.
00:35:42.620
That's a distinction the other side won't make for me, but I'll make that distinction.
00:35:46.660
You could be doing things that are insensitively sounding racist, but that doesn't really mean
00:35:54.360
You know, it may have nothing to do with how she lives her life.
0.99
00:36:04.680
So, you know, I'm not going to call her a racist.
00:36:06.640
I'm going to say that the way she talks about it would be talked about as a racist if it came
1.00
00:36:16.660
Would you agree that the left, Democrats, have an architecture of, let's say, deceit?
00:36:28.820
Now, we've seen all of the elements of it come into view.
00:36:33.200
So, you have, first of all, the, you know, Trump called out the fake news.
00:36:37.580
Does the public understand now that the news is often fake?
00:36:42.820
Yeah, it used to be, before Trump, I actually thought there was one side of the news.
00:36:51.280
I thought the left-leaning news, the CNNs, were usually right.
00:36:59.500
And then I thought that Fox News was kind of that crazy network with, you know, they'd go
00:37:07.420
That's what I thought before I was involved in even paying attention to any politics.
00:37:12.260
But with Trump and with paying more attention, it became obvious that none of the networks
00:37:25.240
Fox News is going to have their Hannity-like, you know, moments as well.
00:37:34.340
The left seems to be an organized attempt to fool the public.
00:37:39.800
And it appears that the news and the Democrats are tightly connected.
00:37:44.920
It's obvious that, you know, when CNN brings on their experts like Clapper and Brennan, once
00:37:52.600
you understand all the players, you understand that the intelligence community is pretty tight
00:37:59.500
with the Democrats, is pretty tight with CNN and other entities in the news, and that they
00:38:05.180
can push things like the Russia collusion hoax and the laptop doesn't belong to Hunter hoax.
00:38:10.620
So the things that we know for sure is that there's a tight connection between, you know,
00:38:18.040
in some cases, FBI, other cases, intelligence sources, and Democrats, and the news.
00:38:29.140
On top of that, we've learned lately, and Mike Benz has been a big helper here, we've learned
00:38:36.020
that the Democrats have this architecture where they create these fake cutouts, they're called,
00:38:43.420
and they may be CIA-run or just Democrat-run, but like Media Matters and the ADL and, you
00:38:52.560
know, probably 25 other entities are fake fact-checkers, fake watchdogs, and basically fake everything.
00:39:03.180
And they're just there to make Republicans look bad and to support whatever Democrats say
00:39:13.340
So we're watching, we're watching now, we're understanding the architecture.
00:39:24.700
Once you understand it, now you can start to see it as a system.
00:39:30.860
And systems are sensitive to failure in any part of the system, right?
00:39:35.800
If it's a system, it's a complex system, you can imagine that if one part of it crumbles,
00:39:42.000
that the structure falls down, if it's the right part that crumbles.
00:39:45.240
But look at all the parts that are crumbling right now.
00:39:47.980
RFK Jr., one of the most famous Democrats of all Democrats, you know, the Kennedy family,
00:39:56.620
says directly that he believes the CIA killed JFK.
00:40:05.020
But this is coming from a prominent Democrat who is saying directly that the CIA is not on
00:40:11.100
the side of America, and they may have killed the president, and there's no reason to think
00:40:19.220
Nothing has changed that would make you think they're better today.
00:40:23.280
And this is coming from a very credible source, right?
00:40:28.800
At the same time, even, you know, the Bill Maher's of the Democrat world have seen that the
00:40:36.640
intelligence people and the news did collude, Democrats, intelligence people, and the news,
00:40:49.960
We know that they also colluded on the Russia collusion.
00:40:53.580
So now we see a pattern where the same entities keep...
00:41:01.680
It's intelligence fakes, intelligence people lying, Democrats lying, and the news lying,
00:41:10.700
The Democrats have a president whose job it is to hold everything together.
00:41:19.660
I mean, you could imagine the president as being like the, you know, the...
00:41:30.020
The one at the top of an arch that makes the arch not fall apart?
00:41:34.580
So the president is kind of the keystone in this architecture.
00:41:40.040
The keystone is now somewhat obviously a criminal.
00:41:45.180
In my opinion, it's now obvious that he's part of a criminal enterprise.
00:41:49.800
Now, if it isn't technically criminal, it's certainly the opposite of what you want your
00:41:58.760
Not just physically, but mentally, but also narrative-wise.
00:42:10.180
So the person holding together the whole architecture is failing as fast as anything can fail, right
00:42:17.460
And we can see that he was a criminal all along.
00:42:21.200
It seems to me obvious that he's staying in office to keep his son and his family out of
0.94
00:42:29.460
There's no other reason for him to stay in office.
00:42:33.900
By the measurement of his own standards, he had a successful first term, right?
00:42:41.000
And he'd always said, you know, he was always thought to be a placeholder president, just
00:42:52.020
So if you were somebody who was a Democrat who put a lot of credibility in your president,
00:42:58.060
the keystone of the entire architecture, even you can see that the keystone failed.
00:43:03.660
The keystone showed that your side looks like a criminal and that you're protecting criminals.
00:43:07.820
Now, the fact that, what was his name, the Mendoza, what is it, Mendoza, the senator who got indicted
00:43:19.420
for having the same job that Biden used to have, and it turns out he was allegedly taking bribes,
00:43:25.180
and it's the obvious best job to take bribes, and it's exactly the type of stuff that, you know,
00:43:42.020
And then you watch the Comer committee meticulously, you know, day by day, finding a bank account,
00:43:49.160
finding a check, tying the entire allegations together into a tight little package.
00:43:55.920
So that part of their architecture is falling apart.
00:43:59.180
We now have the X platform, which is the only place that the news has a chance of showing both sides.
00:44:05.980
Because there's, for the first time, and this did not exist in prior elections, just didn't exist.
00:44:12.920
We have, for the first time, an entity that's a major platform that could tell you the truth.
00:44:19.020
You might have to work at it, but it's there, you know, because it shows both sides.
00:44:26.500
And Musk is going after Media Matters, the other big entity that's part of their fake architecture.
00:44:32.820
Also, and also a number of us, including me, are going after the ADL, because the ADL has proven,
00:44:42.560
and partly because of the Hamas situation, it sort of brings it into focus,
00:44:46.680
that the ADL has certainly done a bunch of good stuff in their history, you know,
00:44:51.360
defending Jewish Americans and Jewish people everywhere, I assume, from, you know, abuse of all kinds.
00:44:59.520
But now they've clearly become an anti-white person entity, whether they wanted to or not.
00:45:08.080
And so their credibility is just garbage at this point, and their power should be diminishing.
00:45:14.520
So they and other parts of what I'll call the fake Democrat architecture, their story is falling apart,
00:45:27.440
Also, the January 6th narrative is falling apart.
00:45:30.880
Now, here, I'm going to say this has more to do with impression than fact.
00:45:36.240
I don't know that a lot of facts have changed, but our impression of the facts is definitely changing,
00:45:43.960
Because the new video that's being released is as misleading as all the other video being released.
00:45:51.380
You know, the initial video from the January 6th committee focused on all the violent stuff
00:45:56.980
that was happening mostly outside the doorways, and they were truly violent, and we should
00:46:03.620
The new video being released shows the opposite narrative, you know, the people being let in
00:46:12.200
It looks, and there's video of people saying that they're undercover agents, like basically
00:46:18.420
100% supporting the Republican version of events.
00:46:22.700
But just assume that those are anti-context just like the other sides is anti-context.
00:46:28.220
However, just their very existence is making people think that they were lied to about January
00:46:40.980
It was obvious that our intelligence people, FBI, it's very obvious that everything from
00:46:46.500
the courts to the Democrats to the news, it was just an op.
00:46:59.560
Will the left come to understand that January 6th was always an op?
00:47:07.740
I would watch Bill Maher to see if he changes, because he's sort of the canary in the coal
00:47:13.680
If Bill Maher can't be changed on January 6th, and I doubt he can, because, you know, that's
00:47:19.320
full-on TDS situation there, then the left won't move.
00:47:24.400
But you can see that the, still you can see that the architecture of that story has changed
00:47:31.480
You know, on day one, it really kind of looked like, you know, at least on the left, Trump
00:47:38.480
But the longer you go, the more obvious it is that that was just bullshit.
00:47:51.800
All the lawfare against Trump, maybe it will succeed.
00:47:56.700
But I think the immensity of it, and even the people on the left are saying, that looks
00:48:05.420
Even the Democrats are noticing this is not the way they want a country to run, because
00:48:10.580
there's nobody, no Democrat would want their president to be, you know, treated this way.
00:48:20.640
So I would say that these DAs are all part of the infrastructure of deceit, because they're
00:48:35.420
There are very few things you can say with certainty about politics, but with certainty that
00:48:41.240
legal cases against Trump are political banana republic bullshit.
00:48:49.220
I mean, I think that Bill Maher sees it, right?
00:48:58.880
Well, I don't want to get too far over my skis, because I know my feed on X is now algorithmically
00:49:10.640
But man, am I seeing a lot of election fraud claims that look new and look, they look kind
00:49:21.220
But remember, 95% of election claims, no matter how convincing they look on day one, will not
00:49:36.120
And I'll tell you that there does seem to be a shift in the quality and type of claims
00:49:44.700
And I can't tell how much I'm being influenced by one set of claims coming to me, and I'm not
00:49:53.440
So keep in mind that I'm being hypnotized by one view.
00:50:05.480
Based on just the stuff I've seen, that probably many of you have not seen, because you're not
00:50:12.880
But oh my god, there's some shit out there that looks real.
00:50:32.880
So, one of the claims, and I'm not going to put any credibility on the claim.
00:50:43.860
That there's a special kind of machine you need to create ballots.
00:50:49.340
And there may have been a lot of ballots again.
00:50:53.940
So, there's a lot of claims in the extra ballot.
00:51:02.820
There are claims about the inauditability of the machines and whether they're connected to the internet.
00:51:17.960
But we've seen that the Washington Post is fake news.
00:51:26.460
We saw the Phil Bump interview that kind of revealed that the Washington Post isn't trying to be real news.
00:51:34.480
I mean, Phil Bump kind of gave up the whole game.
00:51:36.500
In my opinion, he confirmed accidentally that they're not trying to do serious news.
00:51:50.620
And newspapers, of course, are part of the old guard.
00:51:55.880
And then, I just saw a story that one of the debunkers of Pizzagate, who was a friend of Podesta, got arrested for some kind of underage sex thing.
00:52:11.140
Now, I don't know anything about this story or whether it's true.
00:52:16.280
But it feels as if every part of the narrative on the left is falling apart.
00:52:22.600
And we might even learn that Pizzagate was, you know, except for the actual pizza parlor, that part seemed to not be true.
00:52:29.400
But we might find out that Pizzagate was directionally true.
00:52:34.640
And we might find out before the next election.
00:52:41.200
Epstein told us that, in effect, that there was an organized blackmail operation.
00:52:51.220
Would you agree that the Epstein story tells us for sure that Epstein was like a lead person to make sure there was blackmail against important people?
00:53:01.920
Now, do you think he was the only person involved in that?
00:53:06.980
Which suggests that our intelligence people probably have more blackmail on people than we know, which would explain a lot.
00:53:15.900
You know, there's a lot of people in politics who act in a way that doesn't make any sense unless they're being blackmailed.
00:53:26.180
And as Mike Benz showed, even Rob Reiner has some connection to the intelligence people.
00:53:32.360
So he's doing a documentary to show that he has new information about JFK's killing.
00:53:39.500
As Mike Benz says, how much do you want to bet he says that Russia did it?
00:54:13.600
And the deal would have been, NATO stops expanding.
00:54:20.760
And then Russia would keep Crimea because, you know, they were going to fight to the death to keep it anyway.
00:54:25.980
But Ukraine would not have lost any extra territory, which they now have.
00:54:31.000
And the reason it was turned down, why do you think that peace deal was rejected?
00:55:00.960
And that it was being, and that U.S. and NATO, but probably more the U.S., and our neocons,
00:55:07.200
really wanted to use that as an excuse to take out Putin.
00:55:15.460
It was an opportunity to not only goose the military-industrial complex,
00:55:20.140
but it looked like a way to take down Putin, which had been a long-time goal.
00:55:26.500
And maybe they need to take down Putin because they want to get Russia out of the energy business
00:55:35.120
So, just imagine that Biden, or whoever the Democrat is,
00:55:44.020
is going to have to defend the United States not only funding this war to the greatest amount,
00:55:51.700
but that they didn't tell us the real reason for the war,
00:56:00.820
But they always said that was like a side benefit, didn't they?
00:56:05.120
Oh, we're mostly defending Ukraine, but as a side benefit.
00:56:09.760
You know, degrading Russia for years, that's good too.
1.00
00:56:13.380
So, I would say that the Democrats and their buddies in the military-industrial complex
00:56:20.260
and the intel organizations got America into a war that was optional
00:56:25.920
and destroyed Ukraine and got nothing in return.
00:56:34.080
Do you think it matters to us that the Russian military has degraded for the next 10 years?
00:56:48.100
They just want to sell energy and, you know, presumably they want to be safe
00:56:53.440
and maybe they want to expand to some places they used to own.
00:56:56.820
But mostly, they want to sell their energy and be the little gas station that Putin owns.
00:57:04.880
So, that looks like maybe one of the worst government set of decisions in the history of America.
00:57:17.180
This will go down as one of the worst blunders in American history by far, in my opinion, by far.
00:57:26.820
Wall Street Journal has a story about how bad it is that we have smartphones and porn
00:57:37.340
and that a lot of kids in particular are using their smartphones to look at Pornhub.
00:57:43.080
And the article was written by a woman, Mary Harrington.
00:57:49.040
And I just want to call out how an article gets written by a woman.
1.00
00:57:56.580
And I want you to just imagine if it would have been different if a man had written the same article.
00:58:05.780
One of the things in the article that is evidence that porn is bad for women
00:58:11.400
is that 58% of women report getting choked during sex.
00:58:21.940
So, Mary Harrington kind of includes this under the theme of porn is bad for women.
1.00
00:58:34.840
Is there any important context that should be included?
00:58:42.800
I'm going to suggest some context that could have been included that wasn't.
00:58:48.940
What's the number one sexual act that women ask men to do that they don't do automatically?
0.99
00:58:57.280
What's the number one sexual act that women request specifically?
1.00
00:59:16.740
How many of the men who did the choking enjoyed it?
00:59:20.100
How many of the men who did the choking were getting off on the choking?
00:59:31.620
This is written like it's the guys want to choke, and the poor women victims are like,
00:59:41.920
I definitely don't want to do it, but I saw it on porn.
01:00:00.600
How many of you get off sexually on choking a woman?
01:00:09.680
There's like a stream of no's going on in locals.
01:00:19.800
So, here's the way this story should have been written.
01:00:24.740
58% of women have asked to be choked, or at least responded to it.
01:00:31.480
Now, I'm not saying that there's not a case where a guy tried it just to see what would happen,
01:00:37.900
and he tried it with the wrong woman, and she had to, you know, correct him.
01:00:43.240
That would be, and by the way, I don't recommend just trying to choke somebody because you think
01:00:52.880
That's sort of the line where you've got to start asking some questions before you get
01:00:59.500
Sometimes it's better just to take the move and see what happens.
01:01:03.380
But I would recommend that that be one that you've at least mentioned offline, so that
01:01:11.260
by the time you get there, you know the answer, right?
01:01:15.000
You want to know the answer before you try, if you can possibly do that.
01:01:19.280
And if you're going to try it without knowing the answer, you know, do they want it?
01:01:24.000
You better do it in a kind of a non-dangerous way and see if you get something that looks like
01:01:36.100
But the story is written as if this is a thing that men got from porn and women are just
0.57
01:01:44.280
This is something that women want more than just about anything, you know, in the kink
1.00
01:01:52.700
It's only, this would leave 40% who think it's the worst idea in the world.
01:02:04.940
Well, I guess here's just my point I'd make about this.
01:02:10.620
The biggest problem with porn is that it decreases the power of women in society.
1.00
01:02:22.140
Because the porn is so good, they can find exactly what they want in porn.
01:02:36.560
Now, here's the other thing that nobody ever says about porn.
01:02:43.680
They'll say something like 10 or 20% of men are addicted to porn.
01:02:49.020
To which I say, what were they doing when they, if they didn't have porn?
01:02:54.500
Were those 20% like slaying it in the sexual marketplace?
01:02:58.020
Were these the guys who could get as much sex as they wanted, but the porn was better, so they watched some porn?
01:03:06.820
Unfortunately, we just need to get comfortable with the fact that a fairly big percentage of the entire adult public has no access to sex.
01:03:23.600
It's sort of something that the top 20% are just killing it.
01:03:27.840
The middle are satisfying themselves a little bit.
01:03:31.780
And then there's something like 20% at the bottom that we're never going to have sex.
01:03:35.280
So, why can't they have all the porn they want?
01:03:41.200
So, no woman who writes an article is going to tell you the truth.
1.00
01:03:46.840
Because porn to women, I don't even know what that is.
1.00
01:03:50.340
But porn to men is something women don't understand.
0.94
01:03:53.300
In fact, no woman should ever write an article about porn.
1.00
01:04:01.400
Only men understand what the whole thing is about, because it's a male thing.
01:04:05.280
You know, I get that women like porn, too, sometimes.
01:04:14.280
Meanwhile, so with all this ugliness happening and the architecture of deceit...
01:04:26.840
Because that includes all the components that support the whole system.
01:04:32.280
And like any system, if you lose the keystone, if you lost Biden, the entire Biden crime family thing would fall apart.
01:04:43.220
There wouldn't be anybody to protect the people.
01:04:50.040
The cutouts, the press, the intelligence groups, the architecture of deceit.
01:04:56.300
If you think of it as a physical thing, it helps the persuasion, but also then you understand it as a system where all the parts are connected.
01:05:16.820
And we've got, you know, stuff with the economy.
01:05:20.920
And here's something Trump said about Adam Schiff.
01:05:25.480
So he's got a pencil neck and everybody wonders how he holds up his fat, ugly face.
01:05:35.660
Now, I just love the fact that on one hand, there's all these enormous problems.
01:05:46.060
You know, the architecture of deceit and the wars and the ugliness.
01:05:57.440
We don't even know how he holds up his fat, ugly face.
01:06:08.100
Like, at this point, his victory is almost carved in rock.
01:06:18.920
Now, to be fair, you know, before I'm wrong and you say, hey, that time you said it was carved in rock.
01:06:33.080
But the fact that Trump is just out there having fun tells you a lot.
01:06:41.620
This is a man who's not worried about the outcome.
01:06:46.280
This is a man who's surfing, not treading water.
01:06:53.600
He's trying to keep his head above the water and literally stay alive.
01:07:13.640
How do you beat the guy who's talking about building cities of the future and flying cars
01:07:17.860
and calling his opponent a pencil neck who can't hold up his fat, ugly face?
01:07:31.100
He's got the cheery optimism, the F you to his critics.
01:07:36.980
He's got the, in his case, in Trump's case, he's got a body of benefits that look better every day.
01:07:52.100
I saw a meme that I think maybe should be more of a meme.
01:07:58.560
And the meme said, when you can be indicted for saying there's election fraud, there's election fraud.
01:08:09.880
If you can be indicted for saying there's election fraud, there's election fraud.
01:08:23.140
And what I love about it is it's so tight and succinct.
01:08:31.140
Because it's not just that he said the election was fraudulent.
01:08:34.300
Like, that goes all the way to incitement and insurrection, right?
01:08:38.660
So just his opinion is more than an opinion in his case, because being the president, it had an incitement factor to it, they will claim.
01:08:48.660
But at its core, it is directionally true that you can't imagine a situation where somebody would be indicted for saying an election is fraud unless it was an election fraud.
01:09:02.580
You could actually stop looking for it at this point.
01:09:10.880
I don't have evidence that the elections were fraudulent.
01:09:14.640
But I have evidence that the person who said it the loudest is being indicted.
01:09:26.880
I accept this as a working definition of the truth.
01:09:36.540
Four people committed suicide who were part of the J6 crowd who presumably thought they were obeying the law.
1.00
01:09:48.200
But they were later indicted and tried and they were going to go to jail for a long time.
01:10:00.980
There were a lot of people there, so I don't know how many people commit suicide and of any group of 100,000.
01:10:21.460
Put yourself in the head of a peaceful January 6th protester who genuinely believed the republic had a hiccup.
01:10:29.820
And if they could just take a couple of days, they'd find the hiccup and correct it.
01:10:41.260
Like, I consider myself a patriot, but I don't go march anywhere.
01:11:04.900
I'll bet you they, you know, act patriotically and it becomes part of their character.
01:11:12.020
Now, suppose that you had made your entire personality around the goodness of America that you were trying to defend.
01:11:26.940
And then that country that you were fighting for decided to prosecute you maliciously in a way that you believe is absolutely a miscarriage of justice.
01:11:45.280
And then their fellow citizens, that's us, we let it happen.
01:11:52.540
So here are people who believed in their country, they believed in their fellow citizens, and we betrayed them.
01:12:09.320
We should have been, we should have all left our jobs and circled the Capitol and said, it's time, you've got to let these guys go.
01:12:15.320
Like, if we had been, if we had been the patriots that they were, we would have, we would have helped them.
01:12:35.900
Because we took away from them the thing that they cared about most, which was the country, and the rest of the public, being patriots.
01:13:23.280
So I should be doing more than you should be doing.
01:13:51.300
You've got to make sure that the architecture of deceit is dismantled.
01:13:55.900
Elon Musk is going to apparently be the shock force for doing that.
01:14:02.420
Maybe you can, you know, get in behind him and, you know, let him take the heat.
01:14:16.100
Both of them individually said they'd put up a quarter billion dollars of extra advertising on X.
01:14:21.900
To show us support more than replacing what Apple and IBM and those are doing.
01:14:34.820
I don't think either of those organizations had a, you know, a spare quarter million dollars sitting around.
01:14:52.000
So maybe you can find your way to help as well.
01:14:55.260
If you let anybody who's unhappy with the country not vote.
01:14:59.500
Well, you're failing, you're failing the people who died.
01:15:05.360
So your job is to get the January 6ers out of jail.
1.00
01:15:16.920
Because if you were in jail, it would be their job to get you out.
01:15:30.120
So let's do what we can do to make that happen.
01:15:36.160
I remind you that on Thanksgiving Day, there are so many lonely people in the world.
01:15:42.200
Health-wise and mental health-wise and every other way.
01:15:45.440
And so I will be live streaming at 6 o'clock Eastern.
01:15:53.420
And I'll be making some terrible food for myself.
01:16:05.340
After that, it will be a little more man-cave-y.
01:16:11.280
And we'll try to make the world a little bit better place, a little bit at a time.
