Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2297 Scott Adams： CWSA 11⧸19⧸23, Extra Tasty News Today, Find Out Why

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.

00:00:39.200 You're so lucky. Go.

00:00:46.680 Wait, I'll be right back.

00:00:50.800 Ah, good. That feels better. Had an itch.

00:00:53.160 Now, today I'm going to tell you a story with a theme.

00:00:58.620 The theme is as following.

00:01:01.280 Ready for the theme? Theme coming.

00:01:03.840 Prepare. Prepare for incoming theme.

00:01:07.280 The architecture of the left's fakery is falling apart everywhere.

00:01:13.880 The entire architecture is coming apart.

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.

00:01:20.580 Story number one.

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.

00:01:37.860 So that was reported in the Washington Post.

00:01:41.700 Netanyahu says it's all fake news.

00:01:44.020 Every bit of it is fake news.

00:01:45.180 Nothing like that's happening.

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.

00:02:08.240 Huh.

00:02:08.340 First they have that Phil Bump embarrassment.

00:02:12.840 And then they have this fake news.

00:02:15.540 I wonder if any other fake news will be coming out of the Washington Post today.

00:02:20.420 I don't know.

00:02:21.260 Why don't we wait and see?

00:02:24.100 Here's a little caution about the reporting around the Gaza hospital and the tunnels that are found.

00:02:32.340 And some people say not found and all that.

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,

00:02:58.380 there's no information coming out of Gaza.

00:03:00.660 So where the reports would come from, you have to ask yourself.

00:03:05.140 It's pretty buttoned down.

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

00:03:21.140 Because it is a war for the minds.

00:03:23.760 It's not really a war for bodies and territory.

00:03:26.380 It's a war about minds.

00:03:27.580 And if they don't completely control what comes out of that area, they lose the war.

00:03:33.340 It doesn't matter how many people die.

00:03:35.140 On what side, they still lose the war.

00:03:37.380 So I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of the war zone yet.

00:03:41.580 But I think eventually we'll get some clarity.

00:03:45.340 Let's talk about the open AI.

00:03:47.740 You all know the story about Sam Altman and Brockman.

00:03:52.360 They were both out.

00:03:53.260 And they're a big part of the company.

00:03:55.980 And now it looks like...

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.

00:04:21.820 Ah!

00:04:22.980 Nobody can challenge us.

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

00:04:30.840 and put back in the people you fired.

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, 0.88

00:05:05.860 and you get fired like a dog.

00:05:07.780 And within 24 hours, your entire company says, no, whoever fired you, you guys got to go.

00:05:15.680 And they got to come back.

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.

00:05:32.580 How could they not?

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,

00:05:55.380 the board's got to leave.

00:05:58.120 That's sort of non-negotiable in my opinion.

00:06:00.740 You know, it can only go one way.

00:06:04.220 So that'll be interesting.

00:06:05.680 We'll keep an eye on that.

00:06:08.360 More about that.

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?

00:06:22.560 Is that what we learned?

00:06:23.720 Or did we learn that what Hannity has been saying about Hunter Biden being unqualified for the Burisma board 0.96

00:06:32.520 was always bullshit, and every informed person should have known that? 0.86

00:06:38.920 Every time I hear Hannity say that Hunter was unqualified to be on the board, 0.98

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.

00:06:52.440 It's not even for that.

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? 0.98

00:07:15.140 You don't think anybody informed Hannity that that was bullshit, 0.94

00:07:18.540 that you have to be an expert in the field to be on the board? 0.98

00:07:21.880 Nobody told Hannity that in, like, months and months and months.

00:07:25.860 You never heard of that?

00:07:26.720 But it's just a head shaker.

00:07:32.800 And this is for whoever said yesterday, I don't do both sides.

00:07:36.480 Yes, I do do both sides.

00:07:38.580 I do call out fake news on both sides.

00:07:41.780 You don't like it, but I do.

00:07:46.480 So also, OpenAI.

00:07:48.860 I love that there's a new company that we can talk about

00:07:52.220 that's not just X or Tesla or something.

00:07:55.860 I kind of like the big company intrigue

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,

00:08:29.400 or president, I guess?

00:08:30.960 Her name is Mura Murati.

00:08:35.620 Mura Murati.

00:08:37.620 And she's an engineer who was head of technology, 0.94

00:08:42.040 and temporarily she's sitting in.

00:08:43.820 Now, I'm going to say this in the least sexist way I can.

00:08:50.200 All right?

00:08:50.880 This is the least sexist way I can say this.

00:08:54.340 I've never seen a more photogenic engineer.

00:08:58.980 Do I need to say more?

00:09:01.480 Oh, my God.

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

00:09:10.880 that photogenic.

00:09:13.160 The camera frickin' loves her.

00:09:16.180 And the story is not just that she's attractive.

00:09:19.200 I mean, that's part of it.

00:09:20.320 But photogenic?

00:09:21.620 My God.

00:09:23.180 So that just makes the story more interesting.

00:09:26.400 Now, obviously, she's highly qualified.

00:09:28.400 She's an engineer.

00:09:29.340 She's an engineer for the most important job, 0.95

00:09:33.080 probably, in the world at the moment.

00:09:34.420 So she must be crazy qualified as well.

00:09:39.620 And I can guarantee that she's smarter than the average person. 0.73

00:09:45.020 I mean, I can guarantee that personally.

00:09:47.880 Because she's been following me on X.

00:09:51.040 And wouldn't you agree?

00:09:53.260 People who follow me on X are way above average in intelligence.

00:09:56.860 I mean, it's a trend.

00:09:58.380 It's a thing.

00:09:59.900 All right.

00:10:00.220 So there was some deadline that the staff set for the board resigning.

00:10:05.240 But the deadline has passed.

00:10:06.660 So we don't know what happened there.

00:10:08.140 Might be some waffling going on.

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

00:10:19.000 with the development of AI.

00:10:21.020 And maybe the board wanted more caution.

00:10:23.040 I don't think we know that.

00:10:24.380 But that's the current speculative best idea of why there was a difference.

00:10:30.660 But we see that GPT-5 is coming.

00:10:34.780 And the early indications are it's going to be a wow update.

00:10:39.900 So right now we're at GPT-4.

00:10:41.420 So I've told you I've been using GPT-4.

00:10:45.340 And here's what GPT-4 doesn't do.

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,

00:11:05.780 then you can ask it questions about that file.

00:11:08.520 And it can keep referring to it.

00:11:11.880 But it won't take a big file.

00:11:15.680 So the limit on file size is so small that you can't even upload something like a book.

00:11:24.960 Like you can't even upload a book.

00:11:28.840 A book seems like the minimum amount of a file that you should be able to handle, right?

00:11:33.920 A book, one unit, one book.

00:11:36.120 It can't even do that.

00:11:38.840 It also doesn't talk to you.

00:11:42.120 I don't think.

00:11:43.060 Maybe somebody could fact check me on this.

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?

00:12:02.740 So that's a limit of the current version.

00:12:05.060 The current version also cannot return an image.

00:12:08.240 Isn't that amazing?

00:12:10.880 You can ask it for some information, but it can't show you a picture.

00:12:16.940 What?

00:12:18.160 What?

00:12:19.800 That's crazy.

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.

00:12:29.660 It won't remember it for the next session.

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.

00:13:09.820 It feels like AI is still demo-aware.

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.

00:13:32.400 Right?

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.

00:13:48.020 Then all bets are off.

00:13:50.760 Because you can't do a damn thing with GPT-4, really, except, you know, play around.

00:13:56.320 But GPT-5, maybe.

00:13:59.360 We'll just see what they free up there.

00:14:02.200 Some people say that it might be AGI, which would be the super intelligent version compared to what we have,

00:14:09.180 which is just basically pattern recognition.

00:14:11.760 I don't think super AGI is coming.

00:14:16.200 Not really.

00:14:18.420 I think that people might call it AGI because it'll be cooler.

00:14:22.200 It'll seem a little smarter.

00:14:24.040 I don't think so.

00:14:25.400 But suppose we get to something close to it.

00:14:28.380 It's going to open up a lot of questions.

00:14:30.680 Sam Altman said before he got fired in some event, he asked this question,

00:14:36.540 is it a tool we built or a creature?

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?

00:15:23.060 Is God our past or our future?

00:15:26.780 Because it looks like we're creating God.

00:15:30.080 Were we always meant to create God?

00:15:32.660 Now, I don't mean that GPT-5 will be God. 0.81

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.

00:15:44.460 So that's an interesting question.

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.

00:16:02.880 And it acts just like people.

00:16:05.880 What are you going to say?

00:16:07.640 Are you going to say, oh, look, but you're a machine.

00:16:10.140 People have free will.

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?

00:16:24.160 So it's going to raise these questions.

00:16:27.740 Now, there will be people on both sides of the questions.

00:16:30.920 I'm not saying it will answer the questions.

00:16:33.720 What I'm saying is it will throw civilization into a kind of an uncertainty.

00:16:41.600 Here's another question.

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.

00:16:52.320 There's no such thing as 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.

00:17:01.300 Yeah.

00:17:02.300 Interesting question.

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.

00:17:39.880 Do they all seem to talk to an angel?

00:17:43.020 And then they come up with different stories?

00:17:45.580 What's going on here?

00:17:47.420 That'll be interesting.

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

00:18:02.500 Now, you're assuming that won't happen, right?

00:18:05.440 Why?

00:18:06.900 Why would you assume that?

00:18:09.240 You can't assume anything.

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.

00:18:30.840 Do I use ChatGPT on desktop only?

00:18:33.100 No, I use it both.

00:18:36.680 All right.

00:18:37.060 So I don't know what the answers to those will be, but they'll be interesting.

00:18:41.340 All right.

00:18:41.800 Here's the most interesting political story of the day from me.

00:18:45.380 You will hear this nowhere else.

00:18:48.460 This is why you come here.

00:18:50.100 For the takes, you'll hear nowhere else.

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.

00:19:16.920 When you hear that, what do you think?

00:19:19.800 Biden is very old, so we're going to focus on his accomplishments.

00:19:24.820 Do you know what I hear?

00:19:27.980 That's the end of the race.

00:19:30.820 That's it.

00:19:32.080 You can call it.

00:19:34.340 Here's why.

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,

00:19:58.540 is that when you want to look at the past?

00:20:00.960 Or maybe we should look at the future?

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.

00:20:16.700 I'm going to build a wall on the border.

00:20:21.560 I'm going to fix this war. 0.93

00:20:23.240 I'm going to do this thing.

00:20:24.940 When Trump talks, it's all about the future.

00:20:28.080 Not all, but you know what I mean.

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.

00:20:51.800 Am I right?

00:20:52.300 Now, does this sound familiar?

00:20:55.540 Is there any historical precedent for one candidate talking about the past and that completely losing the election?

00:21:05.060 Yes.

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.

00:21:32.960 And that was a strong play.

00:21:34.940 The media was saying, you know, he's got a strong proposition there.

00:21:39.440 Do you know what Bill Clinton did?

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.

00:21:55.920 And it's over.

00:21:57.480 That's the end of it.

00:21:58.900 If you can frame your opponent as planning for the past, there's no competition left.

00:22:06.260 That's really the end of it.

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.

00:22:40.540 You cannot recover from that framing.

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.

00:22:51.600 You see it, and you're not going to unsee it.

00:22:53.720 That frame is so sticky.

00:22:56.000 That's the end.

00:22:56.740 Now, there's lots of things that could happen.

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.

00:23:30.580 All right.

00:23:31.800 But I would add this.

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?

00:23:53.220 That's an apple.

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.

00:24:12.940 All right.

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,

00:24:45.460 and probably their CEOs were on vacation. 0.95

00:24:48.420 Because it would be the dumbest thing Apple ever did in its history, 0.81

00:24:52.800 if Tim Cook was behind this decision. 0.97

00:24:55.720 Because he's going to eat this decision.

00:24:57.280 It's not going to go down well, right?

00:25:01.320 If Apple decides that they're on the fight against the only free speech entity in the United States,

00:25:09.980 they're going down.

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,

00:25:28.520 who would be on it?

00:25:30.920 If you were just an objective observer,

00:25:34.840 and even if you were AI,

00:25:36.480 you know, AI isn't allowed to do this kind of thing,

00:25:38.740 but if AI were just going to look objectively

00:25:40.940 at the most racist corporations,

00:25:43.680 Apple would be at the top.

00:25:46.380 IBM, Google, Disney,

00:25:48.160 they would be at the top of the racist organizations.

00:25:52.060 And by the way,

00:25:53.160 there's no argument about that.

00:25:55.940 They do it overtly, publicly.

00:25:58.380 They have entire divisions that are meant to discriminate against white men.

00:26:02.700 They say it outright, directly,

00:26:05.460 and there's no question about what it is. 0.95

00:26:08.140 It's just absolute racism against white men.

00:26:11.620 Now, they would say it's for this good purpose,

00:26:14.160 for diversity.

00:26:15.980 I get that.

00:26:16.880 But it doesn't make it not racism.

00:26:19.940 It's still what it is.

00:26:21.700 So these are literally the most racist companies in the country.

00:26:25.700 Why don't we have a list for that?

00:26:27.860 Why don't we have a list of the most racist countries, companies?

00:26:31.560 Because, you know, here's the thing.

00:26:33.080 I was happy using my Apple products and enjoying them.

00:26:39.940 You know, and I even had stock until recently.

00:26:43.220 I don't have stock in Apple now.

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.

00:27:02.420 But I thought, everybody does it.

00:27:05.540 You know, I'm not going to single them out.

00:27:07.240 But now they just threw down against the only source of free speech in America.

00:27:13.120 I can't ignore that. 1.00

00:27:16.620 Like, how much can Apple be a fucking piece of shit and a racist scum before you say, 1.00

00:27:23.820 maybe I don't want to own this product? 1.00

00:27:26.260 Now, I don't see any way for me to get out of their ecosystem.

00:27:29.260 I'm kind of trapped. 1.00

00:27:30.680 But their reputation just went to shit. 1.00

00:27:34.880 Because I'm going to say they're racist every day of my life 1.00

00:27:38.260 until they advertise on the only free speech platform again.

00:27:41.440 So they made an enemy of me.

00:27:44.940 Like, not that they care about that.

00:27:47.000 But they definitely turned me into an enemy.

00:27:50.780 And it's because, it's not just because they're doing something I don't like. 0.98

00:27:56.000 It's because they're hypocrites doing something I don't like. 0.99

00:27:59.020 You don't get to call somebody else a racist 1.00

00:28:01.260 if you're the biggest racist organization in America.

00:28:04.460 And they might be. 0.99

00:28:06.580 The worst racist company in America, probably. 0.92

00:28:11.440 Like, top ten. 0.86

00:28:13.440 You don't get to call other people racists.

00:28:15.760 And get away with it.

00:28:17.100 So this is why I think Tim Cook must not be part of this decision.

00:28:21.360 This has to be a DEI problem.

00:28:23.880 Like, they let the fox in the henhouse,

00:28:27.000 and now the hens don't get to make decisions anymore. 1.00

00:28:30.340 That's what it looks like.

00:28:31.020 But, to make it more interesting,

00:28:33.940 Soros, I'm sorry, 1.00

00:28:35.400 Musk is going to sue Media Matters,

00:28:37.540 and allegedly they have some screenshots

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

00:28:57.900 that if you look at the data,

00:28:59.860 it actually proves that X is better than the rest in getting rid of that stuff.

00:29:04.980 In other words, it's not just not doing it.

00:29:09.080 It's doing an amazing job of not doing it.

00:29:11.680 It's the complete opposite of what Media Matters reported.

00:29:17.180 Now, if that's true,

00:29:19.160 and these are all allegations at this point,

00:29:21.460 but if it's true that Media Matters faked the screenshots,

00:29:26.480 and there does seem to be some,

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

00:29:42.760 that they get companies to stop advertising,

00:29:45.980 and that they get people fired and kicked out of their jobs.

00:29:50.580 It's the worst entity in the world.

00:29:54.220 I mean, it's basically Satan's spawn.

00:29:57.060 Now, who would be funding,

00:29:59.740 like who in the world would be funding somebody that was this,

00:30:02.960 you know, clearly evil?

00:30:05.720 George Soros.

00:30:06.640 Yeah, it turns out George Soros.

00:30:09.440 So, when Musk says he's going to sue everyone involved in Media Matters,

00:30:14.340 including who's funding him,

00:30:17.020 did Musk just throw down against Soros?

00:30:20.180 Because I think he did.

00:30:22.840 I think he did.

00:30:24.800 And do you remember that interview you saw with Alex Soros,

00:30:28.420 in which he explained, you know,

00:30:30.320 why his money goes to entities like this?

00:30:32.660 Now, you've never seen any media put Alex Soros,

00:30:38.680 who's now in charge,

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

00:30:51.880 point this out in public.

00:30:54.420 It's like, hey, where's, how come you keep interviewing me?

00:30:57.720 Where's your interview with Alex Soros?

00:31:00.760 Why do you keep just interviewing one side?

00:31:02.940 There are two sides.

00:31:04.500 Why don't you make him defend what he's doing?

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? 0.99

00:31:21.720 Why are you protecting the person who's behind all the bad shit that's happening? 0.98

00:31:26.540 I'm not saying he's evil. 0.99

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.

00:31:37.460 You know his name, you know where he lives.

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

00:31:57.080 and has no benefit to the country?

00:31:59.240 What about all these carve-outs that are basically just Democrat supporters?

00:32:09.840 Yep, I think that's getting interesting.

00:32:13.180 And whatever Musk does to media matters and probably Soros by extension,

00:32:18.920 it's going to get really interesting.

00:32:21.220 It's going to get really interesting.

00:32:23.680 All right.

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.

00:33:01.900 This was interesting.

00:33:04.020 On Bill Maher's show, Donna Brazile was there,

00:33:07.400 and she kept mispronouncing Vivek's name as Vivek, I think, and mangled his last name.

00:33:15.500 And she actually said, he needs to go home.

00:33:22.860 Vivek.

00:33:24.140 He needs to go home.

00:33:27.260 Home?

00:33:30.000 His home is America.

00:33:34.400 Donna, he lives in America.

00:33:38.100 He's an American.

00:33:41.620 Go home.

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.

00:34:22.760 You know, so here's what he said to Donna.

00:34:27.500 Quote, I just feel there's something wrong, and everybody's refusing to say his name.

00:34:31.840 I think there's a little racism there.

00:34:35.640 And then he says, Bill says, I know we don't like him, but just say his name right.

00:34:41.220 Thank you, Bill Maher.

00:34:42.900 Thank you.

00:34:43.960 That is the first time I've seen somebody who is a Democrat speak honestly to what we're observing

00:34:52.620 about how Vivek is being treated.

00:34:56.100 Absolutely.

00:34:57.020 From the start, I've said, really?

00:34:59.020 No Democrat can pronounce his name right?

00:35:01.820 It's not like some big frickin' mystery.

00:35:03.680 He's in the news all the time.

00:35:05.600 He tells you it rhymes with cake.

00:35:07.120 It took me a while to get it, too.

00:35:08.840 You know, I'll give you that.

00:35:11.080 It takes you a while to tune into it.

00:35:12.820 But if it's your job to talk about the major candidates, maybe put a little effort into it, huh?

00:35:18.080 Bill Maher's totally right.

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.

00:35:32.120 And I agree with him, totally.

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

00:35:52.540 that's what's in your soul.

00:35:54.360 You know, it may have nothing to do with how she lives her life. 0.99

00:35:59.760 By the way, I like Donna Brazile. 1.00

00:36:02.340 She's a very likable person.

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

00:36:11.040 the other way.

00:36:12.820 All right.

00:36:13.840 Here's my theme.

00:36:15.100 Now, pulling it all together.

00:36:16.660 Would you agree that the left, Democrats, have an architecture of, let's say, deceit?

00:36:26.260 An architecture of 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?

00:36:42.180 Yes, they do.

00:36:42.820 Yeah, it used to be, before Trump, I actually thought there was one side of the news.

00:36:48.740 I actually thought this.

00:36:49.720 This was my own opinion.

00:36:51.280 I thought the left-leaning news, the CNNs, were usually right.

00:36:56.200 But, you know, nobody's right all the time.

00:36:58.020 But 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

00:37:05.200 a little too far on the right.

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

00:37:19.580 are right all the time.

00:37:20.900 But the left is really just making it up.

00:37:24.800 Right.

00:37:25.240 Fox News is going to have their Hannity-like, you know, moments as well.

00:37:30.440 I'm not defending anybody.

00:37:32.380 But there is a difference.

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.

00:38:25.220 So that's a structure, like an infrastructure.

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

00:39:08.920 is true.

00:39:10.380 Now we're watching, yeah, the SPLC, et cetera.

00:39:13.340 So we're watching, we're watching now, we're understanding the architecture.

00:39:20.680 Now, here's where it's all falling apart.

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.

00:40:01.640 To me, that's new.

00:40:03.340 I mean, we always suspected it.

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

00:40:15.600 that they're better today.

00:40:17.420 That's the important part.

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?

00:40:27.200 That's just one thing that's out there.

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,

00:40:43.440 for the Hunter laptop disinformation.

00:40:47.660 So we know that.

00:40:48.480 That's just a matter of record now.

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...

00:40:58.260 Right?

00:40:59.740 The pattern is forming.

00:41:00.960 Wait.

00:41:01.680 It's intelligence fakes, intelligence people lying, Democrats lying, and the news lying,

00:41:07.320 and it's all coordinated?

00:41:08.840 Yes.

00:41:09.560 That's exactly what it is.

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...

00:41:24.180 What do you call it in architecture?

00:41:26.480 There's like a keystone.

00:41:28.040 Is that what it's called?

00:41:28.660 A keystone?

00:41:30.020 The one at the top of an arch that makes the arch not fall apart?

00:41:33.420 It's the keystone.

00:41:34.580 So the president is kind of the keystone in this architecture.

00:41:37.320 And he's failing.

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

00:41:54.580 president to be involved in.

00:41:56.580 So as a keystone, he's falling apart.

00:41:58.760 Not just physically, but mentally, but also narrative-wise.

00:42:04.340 Like, he doesn't even...

00:42:05.660 He doesn't have respect as an honest broker.

00:42:10.180 So the person holding together the whole architecture is failing as fast as anything can fail, right

00:42:16.000 in front of us.

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

00:42:26.300 jail and himself.

00:42:27.120 Does everybody agree?

00:42:29.460 There's no other reason for him to stay in office.

00:42:32.280 He has nothing.

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

00:42:45.920 somebody to beat Trump.

00:42:47.820 But he's no longer that person.

00:42:50.020 He's no longer the beat Trump person.

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,

00:43:39.500 you can see Biden was involved in.

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.

00:43:54.260 So that's happening.

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.

00:44:24.140 That's never existed before.

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.

00:44:58.900 So that's good.

00:44:59.520 But now they've clearly become an anti-white person entity, whether they wanted to or not. 0.98

00:45:08.080 And so their credibility is just garbage at this point, and their power should be diminishing. 0.99

00:45:13.560 So that's part. 0.96

00:45:14.520 So they and other parts of what I'll call the fake Democrat architecture, their story is falling apart,

00:45:22.360 and Musk is a big part of that.

00:45:25.040 All right.

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,

00:45:42.280 at least on the right.

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

00:46:02.280 know about that.

00:46:03.620 The new video being released shows the opposite narrative, you know, the people being let in

00:46:10.160 by the security guards.

00:46:11.440 There's fist bumps.

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

00:46:34.780 6th, which of course they were.

00:46:36.880 January 6th was an op.

00:46:38.500 That's all it was.

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.

00:46:51.020 None of that was legitimate.

00:46:54.820 So now that's obvious.

00:46:56.540 But of course it's only obvious to the right.

00:46:59.560 Will the left come to understand that January 6th was always an op?

00:47:04.720 Hmm, I doubt it.

00:47:07.740 I would watch Bill Maher to see if he changes, because he's sort of the canary in the coal

00:47:12.880 mine.

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

00:47:29.960 immensely since day one.

00:47:31.480 You know, on day one, it really kind of looked like, you know, at least on the left, Trump

00:47:37.000 did some bad stuff. 1.00

00:47:38.480 But the longer you go, the more obvious it is that that was just bullshit. 0.98

00:47:44.800 So time is helping Trump there. 0.97

00:47:49.020 So what else has fallen apart?

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

00:48:03.440 like just lawfare.

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.

00:48:16.380 Certainly not.

00:48:17.480 So I think that the lawfare has backfired.

00:48:20.640 So I would say that these DAs are all part of the infrastructure of deceit, because they're

00:48:27.300 not real DAs with real cases. 0.90

00:48:29.280 They're bullshit political cases, obviously. 0.95

00:48:32.880 Like, I'm going to say that with certainty. 0.97

00:48:35.420 There are very few things you can say with certainty about politics, but with certainty that 0.98

00:48:41.240 legal cases against Trump are political banana republic bullshit. 0.97

00:48:45.420 And I think even Democrats can see it. 0.99

00:48:48.580 I think so.

00:48:49.220 I mean, I think that Bill Maher sees it, right?

00:48:53.640 Canary in the coal mine.

00:48:55.880 How about election integrity?

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

00:49:07.740 tuned to give me more of the stuff I look at.

00:49:10.640 But man, am I seeing a lot of election fraud claims that look new and look, they look kind

00:49:20.040 of convincing.

00:49:21.220 But remember, 95% of election claims, no matter how convincing they look on day one, will not

00:49:26.640 turn out to be true.

00:49:28.200 And 95 is a low figure.

00:49:30.220 It could be 100.

00:49:31.420 It could be 100% of it is not true.

00:49:33.200 But it's going to look true when it happens.

00:49:36.120 And I'll tell you that there does seem to be a shift in the quality and type of claims

00:49:42.260 that are being made at the moment.

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

00:49:52.500 seeing the counterpoints.

00:49:53.440 So keep in mind that I'm being hypnotized by one view.

00:49:57.440 I don't see the counterpoints.

00:49:58.840 They're just not in my feed.

00:50:01.720 But wow, are they convincing.

00:50:05.480 Based on just the stuff I've seen, that probably many of you have not seen, because you're not

00:50:10.200 clicking on that content as much as I am. 0.98

00:50:12.880 But oh my god, there's some shit out there that looks real. 0.99

00:50:16.320 I don't know if it is. 0.99

00:50:17.740 I don't know if it'll prove out.

00:50:19.900 But wow, there's some stuff.

00:50:21.860 Well, and here's the interesting part.

00:50:24.400 The claims are things you could check.

00:50:27.680 They are things you could check.

00:50:30.100 So, and people are trying to check.

00:50:32.880 So, one of the claims, and I'm not going to put any credibility on the claim.

00:50:39.160 Remember, 95% of these will be fake.

00:50:41.680 But one of them is really interesting.

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.

00:50:52.680 Printed that we didn't know about.

00:50:53.940 So, there's a lot of claims in the extra ballot.

00:50:58.060 Fake ballot.

00:50:59.460 Too many sent to the wrong house.

00:51:01.560 Kind of domain.

00:51:02.820 There are claims about the inauditability of the machines and whether they're connected to the internet.

00:51:10.020 So, there's a lot happening in that domain.

00:51:12.540 I don't yet know how important it will be.

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.

00:51:44.480 That it's a narrative form.

00:51:47.880 And then we hear that newspapers are failing.

00:51:50.620 And newspapers, of course, are part of the old guard.

00:51:54.600 And the fewer of them, the better.

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.

00:52:38.680 It might be exactly what it looks like.

00:52:41.200 Epstein told us that, in effect, that there was an organized blackmail operation.

00:52:49.580 Would you agree?

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?

00:53:05.100 Of course not.

00:53:05.980 Of course not.

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.

00:53:20.820 So maybe it's a bigger thing than we know.

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?

00:53:43.620 That's a good bet.

00:54:13.600 And the deal would have been, NATO stops expanding.

00:54:18.640 That's what Russia wants. 0.82

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?

00:54:38.720 Do you think Putin said no?

00:54:41.340 No?

00:54:42.300 Putin did not say no.

00:54:44.900 It sounds like he was ready to take the deal.

00:54:48.120 Was it because Zelensky said no?

00:54:51.700 Was it because Zelensky said no?

00:54:54.700 Nope.

00:54:55.140 It was because NATO and the U.S. said no.

00:54:58.980 That's what's being reported.

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.

00:55:11.200 And that this war was never about Ukraine.

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

00:55:32.520 so that our energy people can compete better.

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,

00:55:55.500 although later they did say publicly,

00:55:57.720 oh, this is how we degrade Putin.

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.

00:56:32.620 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?

00:56:40.240 How in the world could that matter to us?

00:56:43.000 What, were they going to attack America?

00:56:45.480 I can't see any way it matters.

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.

00:57:12.920 It's not just bad.

00:57:14.760 It's bad on a scale we can't even imagine.

00:57:17.180 This will go down as one of the worst blunders in American history by far, in my opinion, by far.

00:57:25.980 Yeah, follow the money.

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.

00:58:04.380 I'll just give you some examples.

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. 0.61

00:58:17.340 58% of women report getting choked during sex. 0.98

00:58:21.940 So, Mary Harrington kind of includes this under the theme of porn is bad for women. 1.00

00:58:31.380 58%.

00:58:31.980 Did she leave anything out of the story?

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

00:59:04.840 Pull my hair, choke me, spank me. 1.00

00:59:10.120 It's the number one. 0.99

00:59:11.680 It's the single most requested thing.

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?

00:59:27.440 10%?

00:59:28.480 Maybe 10%?

00:59:30.460 It's not a guy thing.

00:59:31.620 This is written like it's the guys want to choke, and the poor women victims are like, 0.85

00:59:39.380 well, I saw it on porn.

00:59:41.920 I definitely don't want to do it, but I saw it on porn.

00:59:44.760 Maybe you'll like it. 0.98

00:59:45.800 So, yeah, go ahead and choke me. 0.98

00:59:47.880 That happened never.

00:59:49.620 That's like never.

00:59:51.180 All right.

00:59:51.520 Men.

00:59:52.200 Let's see the men.

00:59:54.040 So, let's say this is true.

00:59:55.380 58% of women report getting choked.

00:59:58.300 Men only.

00:59:59.480 Men only. 0.99

01:00:00.600 How many of you get off sexually on choking a woman? 0.96

01:00:04.540 How many of you get off on that? 0.75

01:00:07.160 Zero?

01:00:09.680 There's like a stream of no's going on in locals.

01:00:12.260 There's not a single yes.

01:00:15.620 I don't see a single yes.

01:00:18.740 Yeah.

01:00:19.500 None.

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.

01:00:41.500 Oh, that happens all the time.

01:00:42.640 That's just normal.

01:00:43.240 That would be, and by the way, I don't recommend just trying to choke somebody because you think

01:00:50.820 it might work.

01:00:52.880 That's sort of the line where you've got to start asking some questions before you get

01:00:56.500 active there.

01:00:57.400 You know what I mean?

01:00:58.320 Now, I get it.

01:00:59.500 Sometimes it's better just to take the move and see what happens.

01:01:02.860 I get that.

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

01:01:29.900 a, you know, do more kind of reaction to it.

01:01:33.860 I mean, so be careful about that one.

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

01:01:41.220 suffering it.

01:01:42.560 It's totally opposite.

01:01:44.280 This is something that women want more than just about anything, you know, in the kink 1.00

01:01:48.800 category.

01:01:50.060 Now, I'm not saying that you want it.

01:01:52.700 It's only, this would leave 40% who think it's the worst idea in the world.

01:01:58.120 That's how kinks work. 1.00

01:01:59.900 Here's another one.

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

01:02:18.080 That's the biggest problem for women. 1.00

01:02:20.240 Because men have an option. 0.75

01:02:22.140 Because the porn is so good, they can find exactly what they want in porn.

01:02:26.400 No expense, no bother.

01:02:29.640 Everything's good.

01:02:30.560 They feel better when it's done.

01:02:32.340 But women might be a little trouble. 1.00

01:02:35.920 Right? 0.91

01:02:36.560 Now, here's the other thing that nobody ever says about porn.

01:02:39.640 So, that's why I'm here to say it.

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? 0.97

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? 0.99

01:03:06.080 Probably not. 0.60

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. 0.83

01:03:20.220 And if they did, it wouldn't be good sex. 0.85

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. 0.99

01:03:35.280 So, why can't they have all the porn they want? 0.94

01:03:39.280 That's their best choice.

01:03:41.200 So, no woman who writes an article is going to tell you the truth. 1.00

01:03:45.000 Because they don't know it.

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

01:03:59.720 Because they don't get it.

01:04:01.400 Only men understand what the whole thing is about, because it's a male thing. 0.93

01:04:05.280 You know, I get that women like porn, too, sometimes.

01:04:07.840 But it's 95% a man thing.

01:04:12.840 All right.

01:04:14.280 Meanwhile, so with all this ugliness happening and the architecture of deceit...

01:04:20.280 And by the way, do you like that framing?

01:04:23.560 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.

01:04:46.500 So you'd find the whole thing.

01:04:48.180 The architecture of deceit.

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.

01:05:06.780 And that's the important part of the point.

01:05:09.280 So meanwhile, Trump is giving a rally.

01:05:11.360 And all these ugly things are happening.

01:05:13.020 Rockets are being sent up.

01:05:14.940 And there's J6 videos.

01:05:16.820 And we've got, you know, stuff with the economy.

01:05:19.460 We've got two wars going on.

01:05:20.920 And here's something Trump said about Adam Schiff. 0.99

01:05:25.480 So he's got a pencil neck and everybody wonders how he holds up his fat, ugly face. 0.98

01:05:35.660 Now, I just love the fact that on one hand, there's all these enormous problems. 0.98

01:05:46.060 You know, the architecture of deceit and the wars and the ugliness.

01:05:51.580 Everything's, like, terrible and ugly.

01:05:53.760 And Trump's out there with his supporters. 0.97

01:05:56.220 Say, yeah, he's got a pencil neck. 1.00

01:05:57.440 We don't even know how he holds up his fat, ugly face. 1.00

01:05:59.600 And the crowd goes wild. 0.99

01:06:03.820 How does he lose?

01:06:07.180 How does he lose?

01:06:08.100 Like, at this point, his victory is almost carved in rock.

01:06:17.080 And it's a year out.

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.

01:06:25.100 Nothing's carved in rock.

01:06:26.320 Because there could be another pandemic.

01:06:27.980 There could be another war.

01:06:29.060 There could be, you know, aliens, good land.

01:06:32.220 You know, anything could happen.

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.

01:06:51.980 Biden is treading water.

01:06:53.600 He's trying to keep his head above the water and literally stay alive.

01:06:58.160 Trump turned it into a game.

01:07:01.100 Trump is actually gamified campaigning.

01:07:06.680 He turned it into a sport that's also funny.

01:07:11.580 How do you beat that?

01:07:13.640 How do you beat the guy who's talking about building cities of the future and flying cars 0.99

01:07:17.860 and calling his opponent a pencil neck who can't hold up his fat, ugly face? 0.99

01:07:22.240 You can't beat that. 1.00

01:07:24.140 I'm sorry.

01:07:25.300 Try as hard as you can.

01:07:26.880 You can't beat that.

01:07:28.460 That's an unbeatable package.

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.

01:07:44.380 And he's running against a corpse.

01:07:46.200 So that's where we are.

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.

01:08:05.160 It's pretty good, isn't it?

01:08:09.880 If you can be indicted for saying there's election fraud, there's election fraud.

01:08:16.240 Now, how do you argue with that?

01:08:20.940 That's a tough one to argue, isn't it?

01:08:23.140 And what I love about it is it's so tight and succinct.

01:08:27.340 Now, it's not 100% true, is it?

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.

01:09:06.020 You should assume it's true because of this.

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.

01:09:20.900 So that's good enough for me.

01:09:24.300 It's not proof, but it's good enough.

01:09:26.880 I accept this as a working definition of the truth.

01:09:33.260 Here's another thing that I saw recently.

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

01:09:45.300 And trying to rescue the republic.

01:09:48.200 But they were later indicted and tried and they were going to go to jail for a long time.

01:09:52.900 Four of them committed suicide.

01:09:56.220 Does that seem like a lot?

01:09:58.820 I don't know.

01:09:59.840 Because there might have been a lot of...

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.

01:10:06.460 I don't know what the ratio is.

01:10:08.120 But four sounds like a lot.

01:10:09.900 Now, how hard is it to understand?

01:10:11.860 Do you understand it?

01:10:16.000 I do.

01:10:18.080 Put yourself in their heads for a moment.

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.

01:10:34.200 And then your country would be whole again.

01:10:36.940 These are people who are not just patriots.

01:10:39.960 They're super patriots.

01:10:41.260 Like, I consider myself a patriot, but I don't go march anywhere.

01:10:46.480 That seems like a lot of trouble.

01:10:49.360 But they did.

01:10:50.500 They traveled.

01:10:51.440 They marched.

01:10:52.080 They took the risk.

01:10:53.920 They were real patriots.

01:10:55.240 They really, really loved their country.

01:10:58.000 They really, really loved their country.

01:11:00.440 So much so, it was probably an identity.

01:11:03.740 I'll bet you they own flags.

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.

01:11:22.040 The goodness of America.

01:11:24.500 You were trying to keep that goodness.

01:11:26.180 That's why you were there.

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.

01:11:41.260 And then worse.

01:11:43.280 You want to make it worse?

01:11:45.280 And then their fellow citizens, that's us, we let it happen.

01:11:51.480 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.

01:12:02.060 We didn't just ignore them, we betrayed them.

01:12:04.960 We absolutely, you and I, we betrayed them.

01:12:08.580 Because you know what?

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.

01:12:24.540 But we weren't.

01:12:25.560 We were not up to the task.

01:12:27.860 You and I failed. 0.99

01:12:29.440 We killed them. 1.00

01:12:31.080 We killed them. 1.00

01:12:32.360 We did. 1.00

01:12:33.740 You and I. 1.00

01:12:34.740 We killed those four people. 0.78

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. 1.00

01:12:44.820 We fucking took that from them. 1.00

01:12:46.980 We killed them. 1.00

01:12:53.300 Don't let yourself have a pass. 1.00

01:12:58.440 There's no pass.

01:12:59.380 You're a citizen of this country.

01:13:03.780 You let that happen right in front of you.

01:13:05.800 And you're still letting it happen.

01:13:08.380 Right?

01:13:08.820 Now, you can maybe fix it on election day.

01:13:13.640 But this is on you.

01:13:15.700 And me.

01:13:17.120 And me more than you, by the way.

01:13:19.380 Me far more than you.

01:13:20.980 Because I'm a public figure.

01:13:23.280 So I should be doing more than you should be doing.

01:13:25.820 But I didn't.

01:13:27.340 I didn't.

01:13:27.840 It's on me.

01:13:29.380 And I feel it.

01:13:31.340 I actually feel the weight of that.

01:13:34.900 Yep.

01:13:35.420 The country failed them.

01:13:37.340 And so did you.

01:13:38.640 And so did I.

01:13:40.380 So.

01:13:43.040 Let's fix it.

01:13:45.980 Anybody up for fixing it?

01:13:49.380 Well, here's what you've got to do.

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.

01:14:07.660 But maybe you can help.

01:14:08.580 We saw that Tim Poole matched the Babylon Bee.

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.

01:14:28.360 But they're doing it right.

01:14:31.740 They put their money where their mouths are.

01:14:33.540 Because that's their money, right?

01:14:34.820 I don't think either of those organizations had a, you know, a spare quarter million dollars sitting around.

01:14:41.060 That was a real, that's a real act.

01:14:44.820 That is.

01:14:46.020 So.

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.

01:15:03.440 You're failing January 6th.

01:15:05.360 So your job is to get the January 6ers out of jail. 1.00

01:15:08.780 The ones that are still alive.

01:15:11.940 So you're not just voting.

01:15:15.060 It's your job.

01:15:16.920 Because if you were in jail, it would be their job to get you out.

01:15:20.420 That's how this works.

01:15:22.120 Right?

01:15:22.440 That's the whole country situation.

01:15:25.320 It's your job to get them out.

01:15:27.440 Because you know your government failed you.

01:15:30.120 So let's do what we can do to make that happen.

01:15:33.840 Alright, ladies and gentlemen.

01:15:36.160 I remind you that on Thanksgiving Day, there are so many lonely people in the world.

01:15:40.720 One of the biggest problems 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.

01:15:52.340 3 o'clock my time.
