you've ever had before today and all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass
00:00:06.200
a tanker gel just dine a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite
00:00:12.560
liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine at the end
00:00:18.080
of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens
00:00:24.560
go that's a little thing i learned from joe biden you whisper the important parts go savor it see
00:00:38.580
very effective oh my okay well here's some uh news about ai i asked google's bard about myself
00:00:52.000
i'd like to see what ai thinks about me and it said that i wrote several books and i thought well
00:00:58.960
that's pretty good that that is correct i am an author i have written several books and then it
00:01:05.080
listed several books several of them don't exist as books at all and i certainly didn't write them
00:01:12.480
but it also says i'm the author of a book called influence written by it's actually written by
00:01:19.420
bildini so a google's bard as me as the author of uh cialdini's famous book influence which i had
00:01:28.900
nothing to do with of course uh but does say i wrote several other books that literally don't exist
00:01:35.200
so can somebody tell me what good ai will be if it just lies to you i don't know
00:01:46.100
all right so uh you all know that elon musk is starting his own school he's got approval i guess
00:01:52.460
um for high school i think it's a high school and maybe a grade school and they'll prepare kids for
00:01:59.860
stem to which i say does elon musk have to solve all of our problems could we have one problem we can
00:02:10.920
handle on our own okay elon can you give us one thing give us an easy one i know we can't do the
00:02:18.000
hard things if you said uh all right you're on your own go to mars i'd be like okay you handle mars
00:02:28.480
ours all right all right but you can handle the uh universal internet connection via satellite no
00:02:38.820
no we can't do that either you do that you do that what about education oh okay we got this we
00:02:45.580
oh teachers unions okay we can't do the education thing either okay you got education but i swear to god
00:02:53.240
the next thing we're gonna do you don't have to do everything elon the next big problem we'll take care of
00:03:00.820
it how about uh regaining freedom of speech okay you do that one too you do that one too but i swear
00:03:09.820
to god the next thing we're gonna do the rest of us have to do something we got to chip in a little bit
00:03:15.640
okay um speaking of uh x and alex jones saw a funny post by sean davis who said the people who brought
00:03:27.920
you the russia collusion hoax the ukraine impeachment hoax the fine people hoax the kavanaugh rape hoax
00:03:33.160
the covington hoax and the covet 19 origin hoax are big mad that alex jones is back on twitter
00:03:39.200
well i call it x sean davis but uh your point is well made well made yeah
00:03:47.200
i wonder if anybody's done a um straight up comparison of alex jones versus cnn
00:03:57.600
now i'm aware that alex jones has made some claims that may not have panned out may not have panned out
00:04:07.040
crisis actors being at the top of the list but here's the thing
00:04:16.500
because there is a qualitative difference here's a qualitative difference
00:04:22.560
i think alex jones believes everything he said including about sandy hook he was wrong
00:04:30.460
but i think he believed it do you because i don't see another reason he would have done it really
00:04:37.780
it doesn't it doesn't sort of make sense unless you believe it was true
00:04:42.240
now it wasn't true but i'd love to see his overall track record compared to cnn i think he'd do well
00:04:50.260
actually i mean i don't know how many other things there are like sandy hook but here's my other problem
00:04:56.400
with sandy hook i don't really understand how he lost the case how was it defamation if he believed it
00:05:05.480
was true did somehow did a did a court prove that he knew it wasn't true how could that how could
00:05:13.740
that have happened is that possible i don't under i don't understand how he possibly could have been
00:05:20.720
found guilty of defamation unless he knew it wasn't true isn't that it isn't it a requirement that you
00:05:28.240
know it's not true i thought you could be wrong all day long and it wouldn't be illegal
00:05:33.400
you can't be wrong because i feel like i'm wrong about a lot of stuff am i defaming people if i'm just
00:05:42.500
honest and wrong i don't understand any of that maybe somebody can explain it to me
00:05:52.040
didn't pay attention to the trial it's complicated all right well i don't understand what happened to
00:06:01.820
him but it does make sense that he's back speaking of misinformation have you heard of a group called
00:06:09.740
newsguard how many of you recognize the name newsguard and kind of know who they are
00:06:16.680
right unless you follow people like mike benton's uh you probably don't know what newsguard is but
00:06:25.080
allegedly it is a primarily a misinformation purveyor disguised as a misinformation fighter
00:06:33.260
so they probably do fight some misinformation but that's the cover that you use if you're really a
00:06:39.640
political entity so they seem to be a political entity pretending to be a information guarding
00:06:46.560
entity and x itself reported today that newsguard is about to publish a quote report they put report
00:06:56.740
in quotes because this was on x report on misinformation on x and that as a for-profit company they will
00:07:06.580
only share the data that underpins their purporting research if you pay for it so if you have to pay
00:07:11.500
for it and x is warning you uh and of course the reason for this is going to pressure companies to
00:07:18.820
buy their fact-checking services so anyway it's uh
00:07:23.060
they're asking uh people who buy their service x is asking if anybody wants to see that quote
00:07:30.660
misinformation ask to see the source information ask to see how they determined it do you think that
00:07:39.540
they'll be able to show their clients the process exactly by which they determined this i doubt it
00:07:47.300
i doubt it because i don't think the facts would support their conclusions so we'll see now uh everything i
00:07:56.100
know about newsguard just comes from other people so just so they don't sue me i'll say i don't know i
00:08:02.980
don't know what's true about newsguard but what i hear from credible people is that they're in the
00:08:13.300
well science has found a way or they're getting close to mimicking photosynthesis
00:08:21.140
so as much as we like to use our solar panels they're not as efficient as nature
00:08:28.820
and nature uses photosynthesis but apparently there are some research researchers now
00:08:34.500
um there's a report in acs engineering there's some researchers they've got some technology that
00:08:41.220
looks promising it's not too close to being um operational but looks promising and they've got
00:08:47.380
something that would chemically change uh carbon dioxide water they create methane that's a high
00:08:55.300
energy fuel they created from nothing but carbon dioxide water and sunlight now i ask again my
00:09:04.020
provocative question can somebody tell me which of the hundreds of uh climate model predictions
00:09:11.620
include the variable that we would turn carbon dioxide into methane
00:09:21.220
what happens if the carbon dioxide is the fuel because apparently we're on the verge of being able to turn
00:09:30.100
the the worst thing in the world into free fuel or not free but you'd be sucking it out of the air
00:09:35.860
so who saw that coming i don't know if this will ever become operational and economical but it's
00:09:42.740
knocking on the door likewise separately quantum batteries are getting close to being a real thing
00:09:51.700
now let me explain how a quantum battery works compared to a regular lithium battery with your regular
00:09:59.620
lithium battery you've got a lithium things happening but then as opposed to your quantum batteries which
00:10:08.100
are not developed yet but are getting close maybe they might work they would use a quantumy non-lithium
00:10:15.140
process which would have nothing to do with methane i think i've clarified that enough do you need the
00:10:22.900
details or are you good with that yeah quantumy stuff quantumized particles in the quantum through the black
00:10:31.220
hole in the quantumized quantum way and that's how they work and if you need any more clarification than
00:10:40.660
that well you came to the wrong place but it's exciting we might have these amazing batteries that are
00:10:46.980
quickly powered up and stuff like that so again which climate model accounted for the quantum batteries
00:10:55.780
none none there's no climate model that accounts for your quantum battery that's coming any day now
00:11:02.100
probably not any day now but maybe all right oklahoma is the next state to kick
00:11:09.460
DEI diversity equity and inclusion out to their public education so you can't be a
00:11:16.340
college or a school in oklahoma and have DEI now how many how many states have banned it now
00:11:24.100
is it seven seven states how many states florida texas oklahoma what's the account now i think there's more
00:11:37.060
anyway how would you like to be going to school and being taught a subject
00:11:43.940
that is literally illegal in other states i'm just just hold that in your head
00:11:52.900
is there anything else like that where you go to school and you you pack your little lunch pail
00:11:59.060
you know you're 10 years old and you go to school and you sit there and you learn something that is
00:12:04.740
literally illegal in another state in the united states
00:12:11.700
probably there are probably some other stuff like that but
00:12:16.820
does that tell you what direction we're heading
00:12:20.420
i'm pretty sure that we're heading in the direction of
00:12:25.460
disavowing all DEI eventually i mean it's obvious that it has to happen eventually
00:12:30.260
all right the NAACP issued a statement that says the attacks on the harvard president
00:12:39.700
are probably white supremacy and racists right so bill ackman who's uh the most notable advocate
00:12:49.700
big investor he's advocating the three college presidents who gave inadequate answers about
00:12:54.900
hamas that they all be fired one of them is gone but uh
00:13:07.300
is still there and it looks like she's going to stay and harvard says attacks on that are racist
00:13:14.180
and bill ackman says how is it racist to attack three college presidents two of whom are white
00:13:21.860
one is black attacking the ball basically equally except you know one had some extra plagiarism
00:13:28.020
the others didn't have how is that racist exactly i got a feeling that the NAACP is
00:13:43.620
so that's pretty ridiculous so bill ackman um one of the things he's doing that's a real
00:13:52.340
service is he's making the democrats and the left and the the people who would be claudine gay
00:14:00.180
supporters he is just exposing them he is making them say in public
00:14:06.100
exactly what they feel and think and what they want and it's sort of devastating because now you can
00:14:12.420
see it you see it with your own eyes do you think it's changing anybody's minds about politics
00:14:18.820
do you think all of the college stuff is having an impact on the mind of the average citizen or is
00:14:26.820
this just for the wonks that follow the news and nobody else knows what's going on there aren't that
00:14:31.620
many people who probably follow this story do you think i don't know what percentage of the country
00:14:38.180
you would even be able to tell you what this story is about ten percent probably 30 percent have heard
00:14:44.500
of it ten percent actually could describe it to you five percent have a strong opinion
00:14:52.100
i don't know how important it is but it might be seeping into the uh the thinking of all people
00:14:57.460
uh well um at least here's the good news for harvard at least the good news is that their bad news is
00:15:07.460
behind them now right so whatever's going to happen it looks like you know they're going to weather the
00:15:12.660
storm and i don't see anything else that's going to pop up in the news that would be embarrassing for
00:15:18.100
uh harvard um turns out that the mayor of boston is under fire for having a christmas party that
00:15:29.300
excludes white people she graduated from harvard in 2007 according to james lindsey
00:15:38.180
okay i take everything back there's no end in sight to how bad things are going to give for harvard
00:15:44.180
that's right that's right that's right the boston mayor is actually having a christmas party that's
00:15:50.260
called the electeds of color christmas party it's elected officials excluding directly excluding white
00:15:58.900
people graduated from harvard in 2007 mayor of a major city
00:16:06.020
so do you think this will have any impact on anybody do you think people are noticing that
00:16:17.300
there's kind of a trend kind of a pattern anybody noticing the pattern
00:16:28.740
vivek ramaswamy on cnn i guess he was talking to abby phillips and
00:16:33.140
look like a sort of a town hall situation and she asked about january 6
00:16:39.940
and uh they they did like several minutes of talking over each other so you couldn't hear
00:16:46.580
anything and nothing was happening and uh it was really entertaining because neither was willing to
00:16:55.380
let the other speak their their piece and you run out of time basically you know you don't want
00:17:01.940
the other one to run out the clock so abby phillips seemed to be unwilling to let vivek say what he
00:17:08.820
wanted to say he was unwilling to let her stop him from saying what he wanted to say and he just wouldn't
00:17:16.260
stop because once once the cameras are on and once the show has started here's something that vivek
00:17:24.260
and trump both know once the show starts you have all the control because they're not going to stop the
00:17:33.060
show so as soon as the show started vivek simply didn't take no for an answer and didn't take didn't
00:17:40.500
take the interruptions he just he just bowled his way through which was exactly the right thing to do
00:17:47.300
because she kept asking him for reasons and when he offered the reasons she talked over him
00:17:52.820
at least that's what it looked like you couldn't really tell who was doing what but i think she was
00:17:57.060
trying to make you know small points as he was talking which is not cool let him talk so finally
00:18:04.900
he got to talk and the question was you know why does he think there's a good chance there was uh
00:18:10.340
uh let's say uh incitement by law enforcement on january 6th and here are the uh evidences he offers
00:18:21.780
and i love the fact that he says to the audience he said it several times i know this will be
00:18:26.340
uncomfortable for cnn that's a great line i know this will be uncomfortable for cnn because they're not
00:18:36.100
going to want to hear in front of their own audience he's going to have to tell them that
00:18:40.420
they've been essentially presenting fake news for a long time now i've been waiting for somebody who's
00:18:48.500
not trump to dissect their fake news operation without the hyperbole to just just sit right on it
00:18:59.220
and point it out but uh he didn't quite do that i know he could but he didn't quite do that instead he
00:19:04.980
went to the evidence of january 6th and here's what he said he said first of all why did the january 6
00:19:12.260
committee only select a certain video when other video was exculpatory in other words showing showing
00:19:21.220
law enforcement opening the doors and collegially inviting people in that was pretty important should
00:19:29.220
have seen that should have seen the uh law enforcement firing rubber bullets into the crowd
00:19:36.740
which didn't seem exactly called for it looked looked more like they were trying to cause trouble
00:19:44.420
i mean it's hard to imagine how it would have worked um but we can't read mine so we don't know that for
00:19:50.500
sure um what about uh when christopher ray was asked how many undercover people were there he declined to
00:19:59.060
to answer do you know what abby phillips interpreted declined to answer as meaning there's no evidence
00:20:07.060
that there were undercover people there because christopher ray declined to answer how many there
00:20:12.500
were so therefore there's no evidence there weren't any there well technically it's true it's technically
00:20:20.260
true that he did not provide evidence that there were anybody there undercover but abby phillips you know
00:20:28.100
there were you know they were of course they were the only question is how many and the question is why
00:20:35.940
wouldn't he answer that question now and then uh vivek went through the whitmer example governor whitmer a a
00:20:45.860
perfect analogy or uh let's say uh precedent where the government did in fact get caught red-handed
00:20:54.500
inciting people to do things that they wouldn't have been inclined to do on their own so now you've
00:21:00.340
got a perfect recent template to show that the government does this kind of stuff we don't have to guess
00:21:08.900
hey does your government do this kind of stuff yes proven in court remember how the uh democrats say
00:21:18.100
there's there's no election problems unless they're proven in court well the government inciting people
00:21:23.940
to do crimes they wouldn't have ordinarily done has been proven by the same bunch of people so now
00:21:31.620
you've got the model that proves that they do it and that's a normal pattern right it's not abnormal
00:21:38.500
you have the fbi who won't tell you how many there were which means there were people there
00:21:45.620
the fact that they won't tell you how many suggests it's more than a trivial number because no none of
00:21:53.700
us can imagine um ray would have would have hesitated to tell you if they didn't have any impact it would
00:22:03.220
have been easy to say oh yes we always have operatives but just a handful and certainly they didn't have
00:22:09.780
anything to do with what happened how easy would it be to say that yeah there were a handful i don't
00:22:16.420
have the exact number but you know we had half a dozen people there at least somewhere in that
00:22:21.540
neighborhood less than 10 and they didn't have much to do with anything they weren't inciting anything
00:22:27.780
just observing now he didn't say that he didn't say that
00:22:32.340
but if it had been a trivial amount of undercover people why wouldn't you say that it's not really
00:22:40.900
giving up any secrets because everybody assumes that they were there in fact they wouldn't be doing
00:22:46.740
the job if they weren't keeping a close eye on people who might be doing something close to the line of
00:22:54.020
legal activities totally appropriate for their organization yeah and then there's the ray epps thing
00:23:01.700
that's still kind of a question mark to some of us
00:23:06.740
so i think vivek made his point and i'm going to support vivek additionally by saying and i wish
00:23:14.020
he had said this because i think more people need to say it if you're talking about an individual
00:23:21.300
such as ray epps ray epps is innocent until proven guilty that's my take it doesn't matter how guilty
00:23:29.700
you think he is by looking at it he's innocent until proven guilty might he be guilty well that's for the
00:23:36.740
courts to figure out someday if there's any charge there's no charge but an individual has a different
00:23:44.500
standard than the government if the government is hiding things from you and you know that they've
00:23:50.260
cherry picked some information they gave you your assumption of their guilt is completely legitimate
00:23:57.860
you might be wrong you might be wrong but your assumption of guilt should be your operating
00:24:03.620
standard you it should be an operating assumption that they're wrong because they can't confirm that
00:24:09.380
that they didn't do it now that's what i would have loved to hear vivek say look there's plenty of
00:24:16.020
evidence to suggest we've got a pattern we've got a pattern we can look to there's evidence to suggest
00:24:22.180
and all i'm saying is that given the evidence we do have you have to make the assumption of guilt
00:24:28.660
for the government because there's no transparency if there were transparency i would rethink this
00:24:35.220
but the government is not an individual they're not innocent until proven guilty they're absolutely
00:24:39.940
guilty until proven innocent so we need to we need to make sure that the public understands that standard
00:24:47.300
really clearly the government is guilty until they prove they're not it has to be that way that's not
00:24:55.060
unreasonable they have to be transparent or else you don't know what they're up to and you could assume
00:25:00.500
they're up to no good so what about the election do you as a citizen have confidence that you know what the
00:25:08.980
code of the voting machines is doing i don't how would i so my assumption is elections are rigged
00:25:18.660
not because i have information affirmatively proving they are i don't have anything like that what i have
00:25:25.220
is is a non-transparent system run by the government in every case i will assume a non-transparent
00:25:34.260
system run by the government is corrupt every time it doesn't matter if it's elections or anything
00:25:41.540
else military industrial complex the reason we go to war the reason we do anything yeah i assume the
00:25:50.180
worst in all those cases whenever there's a lack of transparency and how often am i going to be right
00:25:56.260
how often will i be right by assuming the worst in a non-transparent situation probably most of the
00:26:04.820
time more than half probably more than half so that's the attack i'd like to see on that here's another
00:26:15.300
attack i say that dei diversity equity inclusion creates a hostile work environment
00:26:22.020
how many of you would agree that dei creates a hostile work environment
00:26:32.020
yeah now didn't we used to think that was bad i i used to think that was the worst thing that
00:26:39.140
happened because you know the the me too stuff is not just the individual acts of you know me tooism
00:26:45.940
those are bad of course but beyond that it creates a hostile work environment right so we do we do
00:26:55.300
value this hostile work environment as a major major problem in fact biden himself said he would not
00:27:02.500
tolerate a hostile work environment in his administration he said if basically i'm paraphrasing but he said he
00:27:09.780
said something like if anybody in my administration is being an asshole you know they're fired immediately
00:27:14.820
you just can't be an asshole you know no hostile work environment you got to go no questions asked
00:27:22.580
so dei creates that hostile work environment and if you're a leader of one of these organizations
00:27:29.620
and you don't know that dei is creating a hostile work environment do you know why you don't know that
00:27:36.900
why would a leader of a big company be unaware that dei is creating a hostile work environment why would that be
00:27:45.460
how could you possibly be unaware i'll tell you why because it's a hostile work environment the
00:27:54.820
reason the leader doesn't know it's a hostile work environment is because it's a hostile work environment
00:28:02.580
do you know who raises their hand in a hostile work environment nobody nobody because it's a hostile work
00:28:10.660
environment so if you say scott i've never heard of these claims you're making about white men being
00:28:17.780
grossly discriminated against for 40 years do you know why you haven't heard about it it's a hostile work
00:28:24.020
environment it's a hostile work environment nobody's going to tell you the truth in a hostile work environment
00:28:39.220
well i guess congress voted away our privacy as if we had a uh by six votes the senate
00:28:48.100
uh just approved this uh warrantless backdoor surveillance stuff that's part of a bigger package
00:28:54.580
i think now there were some what i would call good republicans
00:29:01.300
like i believe senator cruz voted in favor of this am i wrong
00:29:14.340
yeah and how about ran paul did he vote in favor of it
00:29:21.380
just trying to figure out so here's my question how many of you
00:29:28.020
don't trust ted cruz uh this question on privacy is there anybody who doesn't trust ted cruz
00:29:39.860
all right that's fair he's a politician it's always fair if you don't trust a politician but but here's
00:29:46.180
my here's here's my problem with this story so far i don't really understand why so many republicans
00:29:53.940
would favor it if it's if the story is what we're told and we're not missing some context
00:30:01.300
how does that really explain the number of people who supported it here's what i think
00:30:11.860
right now you know you you could assume people are bought off and it's corruption maybe it's a
00:30:18.500
non-transparent system in a sense so maybe but i feel like there are too many probably good people
00:30:27.060
i'll say probably who voted for it who had full knowledge of you know its risks but may have had
00:30:35.540
additional knowledge about something that we don't know about so i'm only going to put out there
00:30:42.100
that it looks terrible it looks terrible but i feel like there's a little bit of the documentary effect
00:30:52.100
going on like i would like to hear ted cruz sit down and explain in detail why he voted the way he went
00:31:01.460
and i feel like we would have a different feeling about it if we heard somebody that you thought was
00:31:07.060
generally credible on other topics you know at least you find him credible on other topics
00:31:12.500
and listen to just listen to what he has to say so i'm going to put a maybe on this one
00:31:17.940
i don't like giving up privacy but i'm not sure it's that different than it ever was i mean we never
00:31:24.340
had any real privacy so let me let me speak to you as someone who hasn't had privacy for forever
00:31:31.140
i don't know it feels about the same it doesn't feel that different but i don't like it
00:31:38.100
you know if i could have more privacy i would take it all right uh tucker carlson is quite sure that
00:31:47.380
ufos are real or there's something up there and he posted on x it's becoming obvious so he says it's
00:31:55.380
obvious that the u.s government has made contact with non-human beings so why are they lying to us
00:32:01.460
about it we asked ufo whistleblower david or dave grush grush now i've asked you this before so i
00:32:09.620
know your answers you don't believe the ufos do you because i don't believe them but tucker does
00:32:18.420
now tucker probably has way better information than you and i have and he believes them
00:32:26.740
i do see a few people believe it all right here's my current understanding of it so this will be my
00:32:34.020
opinion uh mr grush looks like an honest patriot um i believe he's telling the truth about everything
00:32:44.660
he's saying he doesn't give off any he doesn't give off any signals for a liar at all like if he's
00:32:54.100
lying he's really good at it but i don't think that's what's going on he looks like he's telling the
00:33:00.660
truth as he understands it now did he tell you that he put his hands on a ufo did he touch one no no he
00:33:10.580
didn't say that he says other people say they exist has he seen some biologics as he calls it
00:33:18.740
has he seen a you know a little bag of alien remains no he's been told by other people they exist
00:33:28.180
so i think i think he's telling the truth i think that other people said it existed so the real question
00:33:37.380
is not whether uh grush is telling the truth because he's not the one with the source information
00:33:44.740
you'd have to ask other people the other people are not talking well there's one but you know not
00:33:51.540
the highest credibility yeah bob lazar i don't put in the high credibility category um and you'd want
00:34:01.220
to see multiple people with you know multiple reports to believe something that incredible
00:34:06.740
and you'd want them to all say the same stuff etc so here's what i think
00:34:13.060
i disagree with tucker that it's obvious we have these non-human contacts i think it's obvious that the
00:34:19.540
u.s wants our average theories to think we have them because apparently one of the things that grush
00:34:25.700
saw uh he had high level clearance so had some part in his work he saw um some captured intel
00:34:36.260
that showed that one of our adversaries he didn't say which one but an adversary believes we have
00:34:41.540
captured aircraft ufos so our adversary believes we have them so that was part of the evidence that
00:34:50.740
convinced him we do because our average adversaries are spying on us and they're pretty sure we have
00:34:56.260
them so maybe their spying is a good job but we do know that the cia has consciously and directly and
00:35:05.460
it's in writing we've seen it used ufo stories as distractions for the news so we don't have to wonder
00:35:14.020
does the cia use fake fake ufo stories to distract us that's a given there there's a history
00:35:23.780
and it's documented you can see the actual the actual cia saying yeah maybe we should do a ufo story to
00:35:30.420
distract people so i would say given that uh we don't have credible people who put their hands on
00:35:38.500
anything and you know held it in their hand and all that and the fact there are no good photographs
00:35:43.940
and the fact that elon musk says i don't think so i think i think it's just the story that we want
00:35:51.780
our adversaries to hear because it's free money it's free money you know that if you're if you're in
00:36:01.060
if you're trying to protect your country persuasion is maybe the biggest part of it you know you need a
00:36:07.940
good military but it's not going to help you unless you can also persuade people not to attack you know
00:36:13.620
ideally um so it seems obvious to me that the cia is aware that it would be a good thing to do
00:36:23.300
to say we have it because it gives just that little bit of extra doubt do you know how uh trump said to
00:36:30.660
putin so he sort of threatened that he would bomb moscow and even trump says out loud now he probably thought
00:36:40.980
there was no more than a ten percent chance that would happen but ten percent is a lot ten percent
00:36:46.660
is enough for you to say you know i'm not going to take the chance trump says that directly that if
00:36:51.460
you can put in your opponent's mind the doubt or at least the idea that you've got some superpowers or
00:36:58.820
something it's effective you they only need a ten percent belief they don't need a lot of belief
00:37:04.660
so if you could make russia and china think there was a solid ten percent chance that we had advanced
00:37:11.940
you know alien technology you don't think that would affect their uh their war plans of course it
00:37:18.980
would even if it's only a ten percent chance of being true yeah just like moscow all right so i think
00:37:26.420
it's obvious that we don't have this unless we're keeping it with those secret sonic weapons that we used on
00:37:31.860
the embassies maybe we keep them all together with the russian supersonic weapons
00:37:39.940
all right um how many attacks on elon musk are there now let's see nbc is uh telling us that the
00:37:48.260
cyber truck according to experts because it's a big heavy truck could really hurt pedestrians and
00:37:55.140
occupants of lighter vehicles so they hit it yeah that's a story that was just begging to be told
00:38:02.420
wasn't it the a truck is heavy story do you do you know it's also heavier than a prius every truck
00:38:12.340
every truck every single truck they're all bigger than a prius yeah did does this look like an important
00:38:22.180
story and nobody could have figured out that a truck just just look at the cyber truck you don't
00:38:29.380
think you could tell that would hurt your car if it if you hit it i think you could tell but it's not
00:38:35.380
just nbc as uh um as others have pointed out who else let's see um
00:38:43.380
um let's see we've got uh as brendan carr said we've got the these are the entities that are going
00:38:51.700
after musk the doj faa ftc nlrb uh the southern district in new york and the fws whatever they are
00:39:01.380
and then nbc now some say that nbc is just a government intel entity the nbc people say
00:39:11.220
is the one that just tells you what the government told them to say it's sort of their outlet for
00:39:15.860
fake news so you got nbc which i just put as a government entity it's basically a democrat entity
00:39:22.740
at this point um so nbc doj faa ftc nlrb sdny and f what fws whoever they are who's the fws
00:39:33.540
fws somebody tell me what that is why don't i know what that is
00:39:44.340
sec or are you saying that also the sec sec all right well some government agency i guess so
00:39:53.940
it's not our imagination right joe biden did say at the podium he said out loud um how would they
00:40:05.940
get back at elon musk and president responded there's a lot of ways to invest not get back
00:40:12.820
home he was asked you know whether he would be investigated and he said there are a lot of ways
00:40:17.300
well here are all the ways i mean it's pretty clear that uh biden has weaponized government
00:40:23.540
against one citizen because that citizen has a uh essentially rescued free speech and free speech
00:40:31.460
is really dangerous to the biden administration so it's not my imagination right this is 100 obvious
00:40:41.780
that your government is weaponized against at least trump and at least musk and i would argue that
00:40:48.020
they're weaponized against me and a lot of people who are on social media
00:40:54.500
so we've seen the splc weaponized against people the adl weaponized against oh and the adl weaponized
00:41:00.980
against musk now when i when i mentioned these government entities i didn't mention the adl but should i
00:41:11.060
so let's see the adl let's see if i have this right i don't know if i have this right does the adl take
00:41:16.500
any funding from soros does anybody know that does soros fund the adl at all all right well if he does
00:41:29.700
uh or or let's let's let let me be more general whatever soros funds is effectively the biden
00:41:38.500
administration funding it because he's also the biggest funder of the biden administration the
00:41:44.740
democrats so if you're saying that the adl is a non-government organization well that's technically
00:41:53.140
true but it's also true that the main funder of the main you know people running the country
00:41:59.940
is funding both or i don't know if it's the adl but some people are saying so so to say that soros is
00:42:09.380
not part of the democrat administration is only technically true but he operates like he is
00:42:19.220
so i feel like making that distinction is not exactly fair he's basically the democrats
00:42:26.020
all right um there's a report that i'm not sure anybody believes that russia has lost almost 90
00:42:35.940
of its pre-war army according to u.s intelligence 315 000 russians killed or injured uh the key word
00:42:46.260
is pre-war army pre-war so if you read this quickly you'd say 90 of their army is gone
00:42:53.940
but that's not what this says 90 of the pre-war number so they're they had a smallish relative to
00:43:03.060
now smallish army that they turned quickly into a largeish army the 90 is of what they used to have
00:43:12.580
it's not 90 of what they have now you know to me this looks like propaganda to help the funding of
00:43:20.260
ukraine because it makes ukraine look like they're winning so here here's some of the arguments that
00:43:26.980
ukraine has made for why they're winning they say they're controlling the sea in the area the black sea
00:43:35.060
so that they kind of won that and i'm thinking kind of yeah they made it they didn't make it too
00:43:42.500
dangerous for russia to be in that area and i think they're getting some of their weed out
00:43:47.140
but that's not like the biggest win in the world and then he also said i may have gotten this one
00:43:53.060
wrong but i think what he said is zelensky is that one of the big wins is that the wagner group
00:43:59.620
kind of got disintegrated and the wagner group was russia's uh wedge in other countries so that
00:44:06.900
that russia will going forward have less of a way to control other third world countries with their
00:44:13.140
wagner group uh i kind of suspect the wagner group will be reconstituted maybe after the war
00:44:20.340
so i don't know if that's a big deal but yet to uh yet to zelensky had to reach pretty far
00:44:27.860
to get a victory there didn't he that's quite a stretch to say you're winning
00:44:35.060
that you control the ocean which is not ukraine and you've done a good job of protecting africa
00:44:41.380
from the wagner group that's that's really favorite story of the day is that trump says
00:44:49.860
he took a got a physical and he took a cognitive exam and uh he said quote but i took a cognitive exam
00:44:59.140
and i aced it all right he aced it he aced it now didn't you laugh when you heard that
00:45:07.300
why is it only funny when trump says it because you know he's bullshitting but he bullshits in such
00:45:16.740
an obvious way that it just makes it part of the joke yeah it's on brand if you had heard if trump
00:45:24.660
had said anything except he had aced the cognitive test it wouldn't be trump like this is why i like
00:45:34.100
him it's because he says stuff like this that just makes him irresistible to people like me
00:45:41.860
like i just love the fact that he said it it doesn't matter if it's true i don't care i really
00:45:47.780
don't care if it's true the fact that he said it and the way he said it is just so trumpy there's nobody
00:45:53.700
nobody can you just can't match whatever it is he has that x factor you just can't touch it he just is
00:46:01.300
so singular you know i remind you that uh i'm still endorsing vivek but uh trump has game let's say
00:46:12.500
um and he he says that everybody who's president or running for president should be forced to take
00:46:17.860
a cognitive exam i don't know about that but i do think it's good politics to say it all right
00:46:27.700
all right an interesting legal thing happening that i don't fully understand but i'll do my best
00:46:34.100
so one of the j6ers uh got his case all the way to the supreme court and the question the supreme
00:46:41.780
court will handle is if there's really a thing like obstructing an official proceeding
00:46:48.980
or obstructing yeah were created specifically about destruction of documents so if the government
00:47:02.660
had asked for some documents but you destroy them you're obstructing their proceeding by destroying the
00:47:08.500
documents but um destroying documents has nothing to do with january 6 however
00:47:14.980
um some of the language of january 6 suggests that it could include proceedings you know obstructing a
00:47:26.740
ongoing proceeding now the original context was destroying documents but there is some general
00:47:32.820
language that seems maybe non-document related so here's the importance if the supreme court rules
00:47:43.540
about this one january 6 person who got convicted and says oh yeah that rule didn't really apply to this situation
00:47:51.300
or could say they didn't really delay it because you know nothing could have really stopped it
00:47:59.460
or they could say well the only thing they delayed was the ceremonial part
00:48:05.700
i don't know maybe that's something um i don't know if there's enough there
00:48:10.260
my my my non-lawyer take on it is it's it's not obvious that the j6 is going to win this it's not
00:48:21.380
obvious to me but they could i think it's in the realm of possibility that they could now if one j6 or
00:48:30.020
wins it in the supreme court i assume that has huge implications for all the other j6ers except for
00:48:37.140
the violent ones the violent ones the violent ones are in for the violence as well
00:48:41.780
but it would have you know of course tremendous implications for trump himself
00:48:46.340
because how could trump obstruct something if there's you know no valid law that says that's a problem
00:48:54.580
all right so if you want to hear a better explanation that i would go to go listen to a lawyer
00:49:06.660
so here's the exact sentence see if this see if you think this applies
00:49:11.460
um so it would be illegal to quote this is from the law to otherwise obstructs influences or impedes
00:49:19.780
any official proceedings or attempts to do that and you'll be fined in a prison if you do that
00:49:26.900
now i guess the supreme court would have to look into what is any official proceeding
00:49:32.900
because here's the problem that would apply to everybody all the time
00:49:40.500
aren't people always trying to impede official proceedings isn't every protest trying to impede it
00:49:50.020
what how do you how do you define impede what what is enough action that you've impeded it
00:49:56.900
and let's say let's say if you knew that the most you're doing the the worst they could do is delay it a day
00:50:06.740
if you have a protest that says we definitely do want to do this government uh official proceeding
00:50:13.460
now we're not trying to stop it we're trying to make sure it was done right
00:50:18.900
all right you're the supreme court and somebody comes to you with this argument
00:50:22.180
the protesters didn't ask to stop it forever they asked to make sure it was being done right
00:50:29.380
is asking or demanding that something be done right in other words to check anything that can
00:50:35.220
be checked is demanding that something to be done right and then done the same as stopping it
00:50:43.300
if i'm in the supreme court i say no that's different if they're trying to stop it forever
00:50:48.580
maybe you'd have something there but if the explicit demands were to delay it just long enough to check
00:50:57.380
the government would have been fine under that circumstance the government would have just you
00:51:02.900
know take the long until they found out then they would have certified it so if i were the lawyer i would
00:51:08.740
argue that there was no real chance of it being delayed indefinitely and that whatever delay they were asking
00:51:16.660
for was trivial and therefore this doesn't apply you know if i'm the supreme court i i kick it out and
00:51:25.540
free trump all right so trump is leading in all seven swing states according to polls
00:51:33.380
and uh rasmussen has a real jaw dropper you ready for this brand new rasmussen poll
00:51:53.140
10-point lead so he leads in all seven swing states and i believe he he wins even in a national
00:52:01.380
vote which normally the republicans lose even if they win in the uh electoral college he has the
00:52:08.420
most he has the most commanding lead that i think i've ever seen maybe i don't have a memory of
00:52:17.300
anybody having this much of a lead at this point maybe maybe there's precedent for it i don't know
00:52:25.780
so he's at his strongest point and jack smith his prosecutor appears dead set in trying to make
00:52:34.580
sure that he has to sit in trial because apparently the nature of the trial requires his presence for
00:52:40.580
the entire trial while it's in court so trump would have to take massive time out from campaigning to
00:52:47.540
literally just sit in court and you know while they tell him he's guilty now to me it's very obvious
00:52:55.700
that the government is weaponized against trump this is purely political these charges wouldn't have
00:53:01.620
happened except for trump and that it's exactly what it looks like they're trying to put him in jail
00:53:08.020
because beating him at the ballot box appears to be impossible appears impossible so as trump's lead
00:53:18.340
grows it is now beyond the margin of cheating that's a big fucking deal because if trump were
00:53:27.620
worked so close to biden that if they could cheat i'm not saying they will i'm not saying they ever have
00:53:35.300
but if you got it close it would be at least tempting to cheat to put biden over the top if
00:53:43.060
it's close because you could get away with it it's not close so if it's not close the option of you
00:53:51.860
know tweaking a little bit to put biden ahead isn't going to work so what are they going to do the democrats
00:53:58.820
if they can't beat him in the ballot box and they can't even beat him by rigging the ballot box
00:54:03.380
because it would be too obvious what are you going to do remember they've already told themselves and
00:54:10.100
all of their base that he's literally hiller he's a dictator who's going to take away all your freedoms
00:54:18.420
what are you going to do well if you can't put him in jail which would look at least like a legal process
00:54:28.740
do you know how the biden administration has refused rfk jr's security detail even though it's super obvious
00:54:35.780
the rfk jr needs security super super obvious and it's even been there's a precedent obama got early security
00:54:44.500
do you think they'll take trump's security away
00:54:52.180
as ridiculous as that sounds what else do they have left because they have to stop him and they're not
00:55:00.100
going to want to kill him themselves right that'd be a little too on the nose but they might want
00:55:06.500
somebody else to do it they've certainly weaponized the public by by saying he's iller so i'm not going
00:55:14.820
to predict that they take away his security detail but what are they going to do so we're creating a
00:55:24.500
situation where they either have to do something massively illegal or they have to replace biden right away
00:55:31.860
and it looks like the it looks like they're working on all counts it looks like the democrats are trying
00:55:39.620
to be prepared for all situations ideally it's pretty clear that the democrats in general would
00:55:47.140
like to push biden out of the job so they're it's obvious that they're pushing and pushing and pushing
00:55:53.940
it might even be the reason that people are answering the polls the way they are
00:55:57.620
it might be the democrats are just answering that they won't vote for biden to give them the extra
00:56:02.900
push but they would vote for you know any other democrat so that doesn't guarantee that trump's
00:56:07.940
going to win just because he's ahead of biden you you stick any other democrat in there and it's going
00:56:13.860
to flip immediately i think so the most likely possibility is they're going to keep pushing biden to resign
00:56:22.900
it but whatever it is that's keeping biden in the race i don't know what it is i think it's to protect
00:56:31.300
himself and his family that's what i think but that won't change so imagine if you will
00:56:40.340
trump offered to pardon biden if he drops all the charges
00:56:45.620
can you imagine uh trump offering to pardon the biden's or just or just hunter or just hunter
00:56:59.220
it would put joe biden in a awkward position wouldn't it now i think the republicans wouldn't
00:57:05.060
like to hear it they wouldn't like to hear trump say he might pardon biden or hunter because you know
00:57:10.820
it wouldn't work the other way right so you say oh no take every advantage fight every way you can
00:57:16.020
destroy them completely you know a lot of republicans would say that but just think about how clever it
00:57:21.460
would be for trump simply to make that offer because it would just it would just throw them into a
00:57:28.820
chaos because they'd think about it but i don't think trump wants biden to leave the race do you
00:57:36.500
i mean biden's just the most beatable person at this point so i think that uh trump wants to keep him in
00:57:43.380
the race and uh he'll act that way all right and the the change in the uh rasmussen poll is tremendous so
00:57:54.580
the the trump up by 10 is a reversal from just one month ago when biden led by four points
00:58:01.540
one month ago biden won by four points and now trump's up by 10 same methodology i think same
00:58:21.300
so hunter was asked to uh show up for a closed door um hearing or deposition or something whatever
00:58:29.540
they're going to call it for congress but instead of attending it he went to the location and gave a
00:58:36.020
gave a little speech to the reporters saying that he'd be happy to do it but only if it's uh open door
00:58:44.980
now i said that he won um and i'm going to disagree
00:58:50.420
at my peril uh with uh jonathan turley yeah i invented what i call the turley test
00:59:00.820
it's like a a play on the turing test so the turley test is uh turley is usually right on the legal
00:59:08.420
stuff so if you disagree with him you're probably at your peril right so if you disagree with him or
00:59:15.940
dershowitz or somebody just know you're being stupid because he's going to be right about the law
00:59:23.780
having said that i'm now going to be stupid um because uh turley says that uh abby lowell who is
00:59:31.380
the attorney for uh hunter uh he said he this is according to turley that abby lowell just staged the
00:59:38.740
worst possible optics he yelled oppressor just steps away from a committee waiting to hear from him
00:59:44.260
hunter that is i cannot imagine the legal rationale for such a stunt it is virtual legal self-immolation
00:59:54.900
um and instead and then totally said he should have just said invoked his right to remain silent
01:00:00.740
um i'm gonna disagree i'm gonna disagree so first of all i think you'd agree that hunter's lawyer is
01:00:08.260
he's playing the the court system but also the public opinion right the the lawyer is juggling two
01:00:16.500
things public opinion is really really going to matter in this case but also the legal part here's
01:00:22.820
what here's how i felt about it all right i'll just tell you how i felt hunter made me agree with him
01:00:30.420
totally totally totally persuaded me i watched him say i'll be happy to do this if you do it um
01:00:38.100
transparently and then he spoke my language he said it's a government process i would be happy to do it
01:00:47.540
if you can all watch sold sold stop talking sold right because i don't care if it's the republicans
01:00:58.180
i don't care if it's comer i don't care who it is if you're going to do it behind a closed door
01:01:06.660
with somebody who says i don't want to do it behind the closed door i want to do it in public because
01:01:10.500
i don't trust you i am on hunter's side so hard so hard totally on the side yeah now here's what many
01:01:20.020
of you said when i said this on x you said scott you don't get it if it's public it's going to be one
01:01:26.420
of those show trial things where everybody gets five minutes and then he just runs out the clock
01:01:33.700
what no that's not what i heard what i heard was he wants to do the process that they said they want
01:01:42.100
to do but publicly i didn't hear i didn't hear him say he wants to have all the people ask him five
01:01:48.900
minutes apiece i heard him say do what you want to do exactly the way you want to do it and let everybody
01:01:54.660
watch that's what i heard did you hear him say i don't want to answer questions from a well-qualified
01:02:03.380
you know one person did you say it needs to be public but also in addition to being public did he
01:02:10.340
say it should be everybody only has five minutes to talk to me he didn't say that and now if there's
01:02:18.260
some kind of weird rule i don't know about that says if it's public everybody has to get five
01:02:22.820
minutes i've never heard of that so am i wrong that all he asked for was public he didn't ask for it
01:02:30.260
to change the format to everybody gets five minutes he didn't ask for that
01:02:37.860
you know what am i wrong about don't say i'm wrong say what i'm wrong about
01:02:40.820
you so you're telling me that if it's public everybody gets five minutes and there's just
01:02:48.260
and and there's nothing they can do about it that's stupid that's stupid no comer could they
01:02:54.260
could do anything they want they could have one person ask all the questions which i assume is what
01:02:59.220
they were going to do so whether it's a committee meeting or one person all hunter said is let people
01:03:08.020
watch he did not say change the change the standard of how the questions would be asked
01:03:16.260
i i feel like you're experiencing some cognitive dissonance here because you want hunter to be wrong
01:03:23.380
and guilty and bad in every way how about how about hunter has some real issues he needs to explain
01:03:30.980
but that he's not completely always wrong and bad about every single thing we can't allow that
01:03:40.900
can't he be totally right about this now here's partly why i um i'm backing him on this because
01:03:48.100
it's what i would have done that's exactly what i would have done so here's why i think abby lowell
01:03:53.860
may have played it correctly hunter went physically to roughly where they wanted him to be
01:04:02.260
that showed the committee that it was not a physical limitation that physically he was willing to do it
01:04:09.140
and then he told the public of the entire world i'm willing to do this i'm willing to do this and i'm
01:04:15.220
even here just turned the cameras on i think he won 100 i think that was absolutely
01:04:26.740
great play so i i agree with his lawyer and now uh turley is being um specific when he says it's a
01:04:36.820
legal self-immolation so turley's not saying directly that the public relations part is good or bad
01:04:44.820
he's saying from a legal perspective you know it puts him in a little extra jeopardy and and people
01:04:51.540
said hey if other people could be uh arrested like bannon for refusing to uh to talk why can't
01:05:00.100
why isn't hunter immediately arrested why is he not handcuffed to which i say damn it make me
01:05:06.660
don't make me defend hunter again bannon said he wouldn't do it
01:05:11.700
hunter said i would totally do this and i want everybody to see it those are not the same
01:05:19.540
those are not the same i'm not going to talk to you yes i will talk to you and i want everybody to
01:05:25.300
watch those are opposites those are direct opposites so i don't want to hear the bannon example
01:05:33.140
and bannon bannon bannon was arguing some privilege or something right yes that was a different
01:05:41.940
situation yeah don't compare it to bannon that's completely different so you know i i hate to be in
01:05:48.660
a position where you know i'm the one defending hunter how did i get here
01:05:53.300
and and see this is what i really fucking hate i really hate that i tell you something that you
01:06:04.500
don't disagree with one bit and i see some asshole here saying that i've lost the step why why because
01:06:11.220
i don't want to throw a citizen of the united states under the fucking bus
01:06:14.980
hunter is first a citizen of the united states first don't lose that why are you losing that
01:06:27.300
don't lose your humanity just because you want to win all right uh apparently open ai has announced
01:06:36.020
they're going to have a new partner for their news so they've they've got a new strong partner so if you
01:06:42.420
use chat gpt going forward it'll be pulling from some specific news sources so that's good news
01:06:49.540
right chat gpt will have some like fresh news sources i don't see any problem with that do you
01:06:58.180
what could the possible problem with that be oh you're asking what the sources are
01:07:02.900
how does that matter how does that matter okay let's check the sources um let's see it's uh some
01:07:10.660
news entities owned by somebody named axel springer so apparently he owns uh let's see what's he own
01:07:21.780
business insider bild and welt i think those are some german publications does he own politico
01:07:31.460
does he own politico i i see this in the note but i didn't know that anyway so um
01:07:43.620
what do other people say about that well mike benz points out that axel springer is a long-time
01:07:49.140
recipient of cia support for his media empire overseas
01:07:55.620
so chat gpt will be using a new source owned by someone who is known to be kind of friendly with
01:08:07.140
the cia in the past now the cia connection is is pretty fast so um it would not be unusual for the cia to
01:08:17.380
help some news entity get created and get successful if they feel they have some influence on it so
01:08:28.260
is it starting to look let me back up and and state something obvious let let me say something that i
01:08:35.460
want you all to say that's obvious that's obvious there's no way the cia can let ai just operate without
01:08:42.660
their influence do you agree there is no way no way the cia can let ai develop just on its own
01:08:54.100
organically where well wherever it ends up hey you know could be a threat but wherever it ends up that's
01:08:59.780
fine no if the cia is doing their job they have already corrupted chat gpt
01:09:13.700
apparently yes apparently they do yeah would this be hard for them would it be beyond their capabilities
01:09:23.620
to get functional control of a tech company would that would that be hard for the cia nope
01:09:32.100
probably be the easiest thing you could ever do well do you know what you can do if you can find
01:09:38.180
out what anybody has done digitally imagine that you could find out what the ceo or even the top
01:09:45.700
engineers of any company you can find out everything they've done digitally
01:09:52.740
you don't think you can control them if you know everything that they've done digitally
01:09:57.940
of course you can you can literally control any citizen by knowing all the things they've done
01:10:03.780
digitally and if they're political people or high-tech billionaires and stuff well you even have more
01:10:10.980
stuff to work with you know there's gonna be more juicy stuff in there so can you imagine any situation
01:10:18.340
in which the cia had ever said you know we're gonna we're gonna sit this one out let's just see how it
01:10:27.140
develops i hope not that would be very much not their job their job would be to you know protect
01:10:35.380
the country if they think ai would drive the country apart in some way they should absolutely
01:10:42.100
be looking to figure out how to get a lever on it in case something goes wrong or in case they need to
01:10:47.140
use it or in case they need to tweak it so that somebody in another country is getting the america
01:10:52.660
approved version of the truth of course they have to co-opt it of course let me ask you this do you
01:11:01.540
think google search results are entirely the way they are because only google has decided internally
01:11:08.820
you know what is right and what is wrong what priorities and you don't think the cia
01:11:14.740
had a absolute you know mission to at least have the ability to change search results
01:11:24.420
i can't imagine much that would be more important than that because you'd want the search results at
01:11:29.140
least in other countries to be pro-american maybe subtly but pro-american they're not going to let
01:11:37.620
they're not going to let a search engine say a bunch of non-american embarrassing stuff in other
01:11:43.140
countries if they can prevent it so i would assume that any kind of major search engine would be subject
01:11:51.860
to intelligence operative control any doesn't matter what company is so does this look like it more of
01:11:59.940
that it looks exactly like more of that it looks exactly like what you would do if you're working
01:12:08.500
with the cia that doesn't mean they are i'm just saying it looks exactly like it and you should expect
01:12:15.300
it so when something looks exactly like what you should have expected it to look like in any logical
01:12:22.420
world in which things work the way they always work it's probably exactly what it looks like
01:12:27.380
probably no no can't read minds all right uh there's a survey of palestinians to find out how many of
01:12:35.620
them supported the massacre by hamas now this is not a survey of just hamas this is a survey of the
01:12:43.460
palestinians in the area how many do you think supported the the massacre now we're not talking about
01:12:51.940
supporting hamas in a general way we're talking about specifically supporting the massacre
01:13:00.980
72 72 72 of palestinians just the civilians uh are okay with hamas massacring and murdering israelis on 10-7
01:13:15.380
does that sound about right now that's the number we've heard before i i had heard that
01:13:23.780
the palestinians were about 70 in favor of hamas i had not heard that it was still the case after 10-7
01:13:31.540
and after the destruction of gaza but it is and as david boxenhorn um said don't feel sorry for gaza they
01:13:42.180
think it was worth it damn it damn it that's exactly my opinion that is exactly my opinion
01:13:56.580
that by an overwhelming majority they're glad it happened and if they're glad it happened
01:14:04.580
uh presumably they're looking at the whole picture they're not looking at just in isolation
01:14:12.420
presumably when they answer the question they're talking about all the trouble it caused as well as
01:14:17.460
what it did and the attention it got and the response as well so honestly
01:14:26.660
um you know as a as a human being i don't want to see any innocent people get killed
01:14:31.380
so nobody's in favor of you know war for the sake of war but how am i supposed to show empathy
01:14:39.620
for a group of people who are getting what they want
01:14:43.940
i have empathy for people not getting what they want they're very much getting what they want
01:14:50.340
as a as a whole now this still leaves you know substantial number of people who didn't want any of
01:14:56.980
it and those people i especially want to be safe but wow it is really hard to show some empathy in this
01:15:04.180
situation if they got what they wanted that see that and i've said this before
01:15:11.620
if you're fighting an enemy who wants to kill you that's a normal situation so we we can all deal with
01:15:18.660
that oh we want to kill you you want to kill us that's that's a war but when you're fighting an enemy
01:15:24.820
who wants to kill you who wants to kill you but also wants to die and wants their own civilians to die
01:15:33.060
and worse their own civilians are willing to die to get whatever the goals are how do you fight that
01:15:47.060
right now i'll say this a million times until everybody agrees
01:15:51.300
sooner or later you're all going to agree with me they're not fighting a war of people
01:15:58.180
it's not a people war it's a virus there's a mental virus that has apparently affected not just the
01:16:05.700
fighters the terrorists but also the public that supports them so you don't fight a virus by killing
01:16:13.060
everybody because you can't you do it by quarantine so i keep hearing people talk about what's going to
01:16:21.860
happen to gaza afterwards how about depopulated i think obviously it's going to be depopulated you're
01:16:31.060
never going to see the palestinians uh running it so do you think the palestinians are going to be
01:16:37.060
flowing back in to be under more israeli occupation and more hamas no there's no way israel is going to
01:16:45.620
let gaza rebuild that would be stupid so what did they do with all the displaced people
01:16:57.140
if they if they if they act like they don't care
01:17:03.380
understandable all right so there's this new civil war movie it's called civil war movie and
01:17:13.060
have you ever heard of predictive programming so this is a dirty trick persuasion technique it's to
01:17:20.100
prime you to put your brain in a certain state so that the later messages will go right in
01:17:26.180
right so if you create a narrative uh people are very narrative story bound so as soon as if they
01:17:33.380
have any narrative in their head all information sticks to one of the narratives it doesn't just
01:17:37.700
float around and then you make sense of it it just sticks to a frame so if somebody creates a new frame
01:17:44.420
and really gets it into the public that really really really is their later persuasion it'll stick to
01:17:51.460
the frame so this civil war movie um the plot is that california and texas
01:17:58.420
join teams and there's a civil war against the rest of the country
01:18:03.940
and now i know what you're saying scott scott scott this is a stupid narrative because one thing we know
01:18:10.580
for sure is that california and texas are never going to join teams one's blue one's red that's
01:18:16.020
crazy it's crazy scott doesn't matter the the that detail of who's on what side not relevant what's
01:18:26.100
relevant is they put in your mind a movie physical visual version that you'll think about like the
01:18:33.220
matrix like the matrix like uh soylent green right if you see a story about a new food source that's not a
01:18:43.620
normal food source how long does it take you to say soylent green soylent green that's predictive
01:18:51.220
programming so because the movie had so much control of your head you see any story about a
01:18:57.460
new food source and people will just start writing in the comments soylent green i hope i'm the first
01:19:02.820
one to say soylent green did anybody else did anybody else say soylent green yet and then you know
01:19:09.380
then i i want to go shoot myself stop saying soylent green if uh andrew tate is selling his message
01:19:17.780
he will mention the matrix 50 times why the only reason tate can mention the matrix and it all makes
01:19:25.140
sense is because you've got the matrix in your head and the matrix not literally sorry when when
01:19:33.860
andrew tate says we're in the matrix he does not mean that we're really bodies and vats like the
01:19:40.100
movie he means that the thing we're being presented with as reality is actually artificial and there's a
01:19:46.900
real reality behind it now he can say that in a shorthand because the matrix kind of explained that kind
01:19:54.100
of a concept so this new movie this civil war movie is really really hard for me to see this as a
01:20:00.900
coincidence when the narrative that the democrats want to sell and i'm sure it was made by democrats
01:20:07.620
the narrative they want to sell is that there's a risk of civil war in the country because that makes
01:20:13.620
trump look dangerous and it makes all the more reason you're gonna have to put him in jail because
01:20:19.860
you want to avoid that civil war what civil war well like the movie well just like the movie and then
01:20:26.100
somebody says but in the real world california and texas not they said no no no right not those states
01:20:33.300
but certainly the red states versus the blue states right so it is predictive programming whether
01:20:39.700
intentional or not i don't know but boy it's a big coincidence
01:20:43.700
and that ladies and gentlemen is everything i wanted to tell you about today probably the finest
01:20:56.740
live stream you'll ever see is there anything i missed yes i missed how's the stock market doing
01:21:02.660
today it's up stock market is raging rumbles up almost nine percent whoa can't be world up eight percent
01:21:12.020
bitcoin pulled back a little bit but it's way high apple's looking good the s p index 500 up a little
01:21:20.820
bit and even israel's up israel's stock is uh sort of up to where it's been hovering for a number of years
01:21:28.820
but it's not low all right does the stock spike spike give you dopamine it does it does that's why i look
01:21:38.100
at it i my uh my technique for checking my stocks is only when the market's up that's my rule
01:21:50.260
if the market you know just goes in the toilet stop looking because the stocks i have i i hold them
01:21:57.700
because they're good for the long term they're they're not susceptible to a temporary downturn so
01:22:03.380
the moment it goes negative i don't look and i wait for the news to say stuff like oh it's regained
01:22:10.180
its territory since whatever and like oh let's see and because that allows me to hold my stocks
01:22:18.500
because i'm reinforcing that holding was a good idea if i start looking at it when it goes down
01:22:24.100
that works against my discipline of knowing that holding it for long term is going to be the better
01:22:34.820
kramer says recession good as people often say he's a counter indicator
01:22:45.620
disney will lose copyright on black and white mickey mouse in two weeks no way really
01:22:51.380
because that was was that a 75 year thing 75 years
01:23:00.340
did i guess it 95 they had a 95 year copyright is it really 95 years wow that is the standard 95 i thought
01:23:13.460
it was 75 but just going from memory so 95 they say um the life of the creator plus 28 years somebody says
01:23:29.380
okay google lost a lawsuit about monopoly in the app store oh that could be interesting
01:23:34.100
somebody says my commentary improved since i got divorced i don't think it's related
01:23:49.060
you know what i think it is i think we're just entering an election season i think my commentary
01:23:54.740
has more salience as as a presidential election approaches so i think that's what it is during the
01:24:02.180
pandemic i was useless to most of you wouldn't you agree yeah during the pandemic i was largely
01:24:09.780
useless to most of you because i wasn't agreeing with you as much as you wanted during the pandemic
01:24:15.540
everybody just wanted just agree with me okay just agree with me that's all i'm asking you to do
01:24:21.140
and i try i tried to do the uh you know show the the pro and the cons nobody wanted to hear that
01:24:36.180
no i'm not going to do it i don't want to talk about
01:24:42.580
annie mccarthy's idea that democrats were using the indictments to bait republicans into nominating
01:24:51.140
uh well um i agree with the theory the democrats are getting are trying to get republicans to
01:25:00.180
overreact i think republicans are being pushed to overreact like january 6 so that they can sell
01:25:07.940
their narrative that you know there's a civil war and all the all the mega people are bad and
01:25:12.820
white supremacists and stuff like that but here's what i think i feel like republicans are too smart
01:25:18.740
which is not something i say a lot but don't you feel like the activist republicans have totally
01:25:27.780
figured out that if they give physical it's bad
01:25:41.140
however if trump ever actually spent a day in a physical jail
01:25:45.780
i don't know what would happen like you know i'm not going to incite any violence because that's
01:25:53.780
you know that would be falling into the trap but you put trump in jail for one day like actual prison
01:26:02.020
one day i cannot predict what would happen so i don't think he's jailable i've said this before
01:26:09.860
i believe he's physically unjailable at this point because the system couldn't handle it the system
01:26:16.740
would just break yeah if you want to destroy the entire republic put him in jail for one day that
01:26:23.620
that would be the biggest existential threat to the country we've ever had in my opinion but
01:26:30.820
we'll see we shall see all right that's all for today youtube we'll talk to you tomorrow
