Today we re going to unravel the mysteries of the government, and why it is like it is, and believe it or not, I actually have some answers to those questions. Some of the mysteries I ve had for the longest time have been revealed, and I m going to reveal them to you.
00:04:46.480How many of you were saying to yourself, you know what I really need is something that takes me out of the world completely?
00:04:52.340I don't even want to see the real world, you know, like you do if you're doing regular gaming.
00:04:57.000I just feel like the Apple products that were huge hits solved an obvious problem we all knew we had or an opportunity, you know, to make something better that we all wanted.
00:05:09.500But the Vision Pro seems to be like trying to convince us we want this thing we weren't thinking about, and it's not obvious it solves any problem.
00:05:17.940Had they launched it purely for training purposes or education, I would have said, you know what, that might be the thing.
00:05:27.960Because I would definitely rather get training in VR than travel somewhere.
00:05:34.100I would definitely rather use VR to show me how to fix an engine or, you know, do some physical thing.
00:05:52.940And he was telling the story to the other participants how he was at some retail store in San Francisco, I think, and somewhere in California.
00:06:01.600And a shoplifter shoplifted something.
00:06:17.780She didn't know she was talking to the governor, which is a funny story.
00:06:21.380But when she recognized him, then, you know, I guess it turned into something else.
00:06:25.880But here's the bigger part of the story.
00:06:28.080It's kind of a funny story that she didn't recognize the governor, and he was in the store when they were shoplifting.
00:06:32.460But the amazing story is he seemed to think that the store could stop the shoplifting, and it wasn't anything that the government of California did that's causing this wave of shoplifting.
00:06:45.820And that he believed that the California laws were comparable to other states.
00:06:51.000Now, it turns out, and I didn't know this, I don't think there was anything that changed recently.
00:06:58.580I kept hearing about this $950 limit where you could shoplift up to $950 and you wouldn't go to jail.
00:07:05.920But apparently that changed a long time ago.
00:07:57.220So, I don't, there's some uncertainty there.
00:07:59.140I would say that the news is not doing its job of informing us on that.
00:08:03.640However, the fact that the governor didn't understand the situation, much the way I don't right now.
00:08:10.200There's something about it I don't understand.
00:08:12.020But the governor of California didn't understand the shoplifting problem that is causing these big chains to move out and cause food and health care deserts in underserved communities.
00:08:26.460How do you not know what's going on in that situation?
00:08:29.060I mean, I understand how I don't know.
00:10:45.840Everything is fake and always has been.
00:10:50.860That's not something your brain can even handle, because your brain has to believe something is true.
00:10:56.500It just can't go through the day without it.
00:10:58.680Now, there is something true, of course, underlying all the BS.
00:11:02.900But what you need to know is that all information is motivated.
00:11:07.600All data, all studies, all government statements, all politicians, all public figures are motivated by something.
00:11:18.700And usually it's not your best interest.
00:11:21.880Even if it is your best interest, they're still going to spin it the way that gets you to whatever it is that they want to do, even if it's your best interest.
00:11:31.540So even things that are not bad are also BS.
00:12:00.000So once you get to the point, and I've described the levels of awareness, you know, the awakening, when you're a little kid, you learn that Santa Claus isn't real.
00:12:11.780You're like, oh, man, apparently an adult can tell me something that isn't true.
00:13:28.500So Dr. Drew and Elon Musk are largely on the same page of understanding that all data, all studies, all science, all economic information, everything your government tells you is motivated by something.
00:13:46.340And if you don't know what it is, you don't really understand what's happening.
00:13:50.040There's a new poll released that says Trump's leading in every swing state by apparently more than the margin of error.
00:27:47.220What's wrong with the process that they have these giant bills and nobody even has time to read it before they have to vote?
00:27:52.860How in the world does that even make sense?
00:27:55.440Well, Based Mike Lee explains it to us.
00:27:58.640And I'm going to read his explanation word for word because it's so good.
00:28:02.320He said earlier today, a reporter standing outside the Senate chamber told me that after four months of secrecy, the firm, which and I'm going to define what he means by the firm, plans to release the text of the hundred and six billion supplemental aid border security package, possibly as soon as tomorrow.
00:28:22.040Now, remember, I'll tell you what the firm means in a minute.
00:28:26.980Wasting no time, she then asks, if you get the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?
00:28:33.700The words, quote, hell no, escape from my mouth before I can stop them.
00:28:41.720Those are strong words where I come from.
00:29:14.120So, you know, that's a term like, you know, lawyers from some movie or something.
00:29:20.880But so imagine that Schumer and McConnell, a Republican and a Democrat, but they're the leaders and they're perpetually trying to normalize a corrupt approach to legislating.
00:30:02.360Number two, aggressively market that legislation based not on its details and practical implications, good or bad, but only on its broadest and least controversial objectives.
00:30:15.420That they'll give the legislation some name that is the opposite of what it does, and then they'll talk about the least important part of it, which might even be positive, so that they can ignore all the rest of it, because all the rest of it you wouldn't vote for.
00:30:31.860Number three, let's members see bill text for the first time only a few days, sometimes a few hours, before an arbitrary deadline imposed by the firm.
00:30:42.120In other words, Schumer and McConnell.
00:31:04.280Because, you know, they have a contrived sense of urgency, Mike says.
00:31:09.180Number four, forces a vote on the legislation honored before that deadline, denying senators any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider, and vote on amendments.
00:31:23.320Whenever the firm engages in this practice, it largely excludes nearly every senator from the constitutionally prescribed process in which all senators are supposed to participate.
00:31:39.180By so doing, the firm effectively disenfranchises hundreds of millions of Americans, that's how I feel, at least for the purposes relevant to the legislation at hand, and it's tragic.
00:31:49.660It's also un-American, un-civil, un-collegial, and really uncool.
00:31:53.400So why does the firm do it every time?
00:36:20.580Trump's insurrection case has been taken off the schedule,
00:36:25.620not because they don't want to pursue it,
00:36:27.560but because there are appeals that are going forward that have to be resolved first.
00:36:31.540And the appeals would be on the question of whether a president could be even charged
00:36:38.780or prosecuted for something done in office.
00:36:41.800Now, Trump was still in office, tactically,
00:36:44.820when the things on January 6th were occurring.
00:36:49.980Because it was before the new president was sworn in.
00:36:52.440So is this the kind of situation where you think it makes sense for the president not to get prosecuted?
00:37:00.960Does it fall into that category where you say, man, you wouldn't want to handcuff a president?
00:37:06.140You know, let's say it's something like did a military response to something and there wasn't much time and there was a fog of war and they got it wrong.
00:37:16.480You know, you kind of want them still to have that ability to get it wrong if they're legitimately trying to help the country and they're doing the best.
00:37:25.760You know, sometimes you might have to, you know, step on a toe or do something wrong just to protect the country.
00:37:32.700So you do want the president to have the widest possible range of options without being handcuffed, especially if it's an emergency.
00:37:40.760And to me, this does fit into the category.
00:37:45.560To me, this very neatly fits into the category of something you would want the president to have the power to do, even if it didn't work out.
00:37:54.920And the even if it didn't work out part is the important part.
00:37:57.520Because if the president's doing something everybody wants and it works out, you know, it's less of a problem.
00:38:03.440But if you take the the Democrats illegitimate frame that what Trump was doing was trying to overthrow the country.
00:38:11.780Well, no, no, I don't think a president should have immunity from overthrowing the country, even if he's still in office.
00:38:23.220No, I don't think that that's reasonable.
00:38:25.340Right. But suppose the president was trying to disrupt a process in order to make sure that the country got the right answer on the election, because that's what people were saying.
00:38:38.000And I do believe that Trump legitimately believed there's something wrong with the election and that maybe delaying to check could matter.
00:38:45.580So under those conditions, if the president does something that's quasi legal or in the gray area or maybe even just, frankly, illegal.
00:38:56.840If he's doing it with a stated and obvious purpose of fixing the country, not hurting it.
00:39:03.460That's exactly the situation I want my president not to have to worry about legal jeopardy.
00:39:11.140If you are trying to save the country, yes, you should have total presidential immunity.
00:39:18.100If you're trying to overthrow the country, not so much.
00:43:08.020I think the 20 to 30 are actually her main fans, according to a recent report I saw.
00:43:15.560So, if that's true, and I would need a fact check on that, if it's true that her main fans would seem to us,
00:43:24.240and the important part is, does it seem true?
00:43:26.780If it seems that she becomes the face of the awfuls, that's not good for her, and it's not going to help her, it's not going to help Biden at all.
00:44:08.400It doesn't look like Mayorkas will actually get impeached.
00:44:11.420Republican Ken Buck has already come out and said he doesn't think it rises.
00:44:16.280He doesn't love Mayorkas, so he's not happy with Mayorkas, but doesn't think that Mayorkas's lack of doing his job rises to any kind of impeachable offense.
00:44:56.860So, I hate it, but I suspect he's right.
00:45:01.900I also like the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed it.
00:45:05.020I like the fact that he's being questioned about it.
00:45:08.440I like the fact that it's on the table, because that sends the right message.
00:45:12.420But in the end, if he's not impeached, I could get over that.
00:45:17.940I think he needs to go, but if this doesn't work, well, I'd rather keep the integrity of the impeachment process if there's any left.
00:45:25.960Well, I saw a post by ALX, one of your better followers on X, and he's talking about governor of New York, Democrat Kathy Hochul,
00:45:38.560who is on video talking about how much she loves immigration before she decided to hate it recently.
00:45:46.240And she's on video saying that, you know, the Statue of Liberty has this little poem on it about, you know, welcoming people, the immigrants, with open arms.
00:45:56.380And it says, we will house you and protect you, whatever it says on that poem on the Statue of Liberty.
00:46:07.140And now Kathy Hochul thinks that all the migrants are an emergency and a crisis, and there are way too many, and they can't possibly take any more.
00:46:17.280But the best part of this story was not the hypocrisy or the fact that, obviously, it was a terrible idea from the start.
00:48:19.580I don't think we need, or it's not even a barely its opinion.
00:48:22.060So, if the LA Times was doing that, what weren't they doing?
00:48:27.520Was there anything that maybe they should have been doing that was a big, gaping hole that had to be filled by a concerned citizen?
00:48:37.280Because we've all realized that we don't have a functional news entity, and we all have to become the news ourselves.
00:48:44.600Well, did you see a video in which Brett Weinstein talks to Tucker Carlson?
00:48:51.940And apparently Brett took it upon himself in his role as a researcher and citizen, which is good enough, patriot, good enough, I'll take that,
00:49:04.080traveled down to what's called the Darien Gap in South America to find the sort of the source and border, the source of the immigration.
00:51:35.280It could be who's funding it all, or that's probably, or why.
00:51:39.400Alex Jones warns us that he's seen a memo that there's a secret FBI memo telling Border Patrol
00:51:48.580to be ready for a, quote, imminent white supremacist attack.
00:51:53.100So, wouldn't that be exactly the perfect political thing to happen right now when the border looks like the worst thing in the world for Democrats
00:52:02.900and the worst thing in the world for Biden?
00:59:37.360But the libs of TikTok was talking about they have a scoop and they got some internal documents from Southwest Airlines that are trying to double the racial diversity and increase their gender diversity.
00:59:53.420In other words, they're going to discriminate against white men in hiring.
01:00:32.860Let me tell you what's bothering me about this.
01:00:39.500You didn't know that this has been the normal case for 30 years.
01:00:42.920This is the normal case, exactly like this, no different, nothing's changed for 30 years.
01:00:54.480For 30 years, white men have been overlooked for gender and racial diversity purposes in a massive way in every large company, every public company.
01:01:08.840Now, what's different is we have some names for stuff, and maybe they put it in writing a little bit more.
01:01:15.400But whether or not, whether it was in writing or not, it was exactly the same policy.
01:01:21.520In 1990s, my boss called me in, and I've told this story too many times, and said, we can't promote you because you're white and male.
01:01:29.760And we've got to get our diversity and our gender balance up.
01:01:32.880And then when I changed companies, Pacific Bell told me exactly the same thing.
01:01:46.620So the thing that's blowing my mind, and I'm trying not to use the F word, because this is usually where I would use it a lot to underscore that, just how mind-blown I am.
01:01:57.860How did the libs of TikTok, a very well-informed person living in the modern world, and Megyn Kelly, extremely well-informed person living in the modern world, do they not know that nothing changed?
01:02:11.980This is exactly what it's been for 30 years.
01:03:03.620So they tried to spin my story as really I was lying, and that the only reason a white man would ever be overlooked in corporate America is that they were actually bad at their job, but they were spinning it to say it was some racial thing.
01:03:19.240And there's not a single person in the corporate world who thinks that's true.
01:03:27.580I remember people, in fact, even just a year ago, a writer for the Chicago Post was challenging me to prove that there was any such discrimination 30 years ago when I was experiencing it.
01:03:42.380And he said he wanted, like, a witness.
01:03:46.120And at first I thought, huh, you know, they're private people, and I know their names, but I don't know how to find them.
01:03:51.200You know, my bosses, I don't know if they're alive, that sort of thing.
01:03:54.320But then I thought, I'm not going to play your game.
01:03:57.960I'm not going to play your, can you give me one witness?
01:04:07.380And so instead, how about you just walk out in the street, see any adult male, white male who's 50 or older, and you say, excuse me, have you ever worked at a big company?
01:05:53.880Jonathan Turley and others have reported that the young gentleman who had some sex in that congressional room will not be charged because there's no particular crime.
01:06:05.100Um, and, uh, you know, when the two guys had, uh, sex there, um, the only thing I have to say about it is, you know what they say about Congress.
01:06:20.000Nobody wants to see how the sausage is made.
01:06:22.280Okay, next story, uh, the U.S. plans to, uh, target multi-day strikes in Iraq and Syria against multiple targets, including Iranian personnel and facilities and blah, blah, blah.
01:06:40.060And then Lloyd Austin says that they will act, I'm paraphrasing, at the time of their choice, the targets of their choice, you know, wherever they choose.
01:06:52.160So our take is that we will be, um, generic and we'll say, you know, watch out, we're going to get you.
01:07:00.520Yeah, but they also said, um, I also saw a report that said, you know, Iran can't completely control its proxies.
01:07:10.480So we're going to bomb the proxies, but, you know, we can't be 100% sure that Iran told them to do these things.
01:07:18.200They just provided all the weapons to do exactly this.
01:07:20.720So that's a crazy thing to say, but let me give some persuasion advice, or maybe it's just a question for Lloyd Austin.
01:09:07.900If you say I'm generically going to do a thing at my time in a generic place in time, it just, it doesn't have that fear specific tit for tat cause and effect element to it.
01:09:21.540The only way it does that is through your talking about it later.
01:09:25.360Well, you see the thing we did over here is conceptually attached to the thing over here.
01:09:34.180It's not enough to really change anything.
01:10:25.320Now, you might say, but Scott, they'd have time to move the tanker and they'd have time to, you know, reinforce the camp and stuff like that.
01:11:46.960And then the next thing on the list is Karg Island.
01:11:50.480Now, Karg Island is where Iran's primary energy infrastructure exists.
01:11:56.920If you take that out, they're out of business.
01:11:59.280But if it's fourth on the list and you took out the first three, I think Iran just does anything you want after that point.
01:12:08.000But if every time Iran does something, you do a surprise thing to a proxy somewhere and you killed a few people or maybe you didn't or maybe they moved or you're not even sure, how does that get you anything?
01:12:23.900So compare the menu to the will strike when you don't expect it.
01:12:30.900I think the menu gets you there faster.
01:12:33.020But you've got to start with some things you're really going to do because Karg Island might be something you really, really don't want to do because that's all that war.
01:12:42.840But you put it fourth on the list and you do the first three and Iran is going to be, okay, they really mean they're going to take out Karg Island.
01:13:25.180I'm going to remind you again that the cyber mutually assured destruction that at least we have with China, where China basically has infiltrated all our systems.
01:13:38.520They can take the whole country down anytime they want.
01:13:40.840We could probably do the same thing to them with cyber stuff.
01:13:44.580So I think that makes the odds of a nuclear war with China basically zero because you would do the cyber thing first if you were going to do something extreme.
01:13:55.180So, and that would get, you know, that would sort of make nuclear war unnecessary.
01:22:03.540And I take you back to Dr. Drew and Elon Musk, that all the information is biased, but all the polling is too.
01:22:13.640Now, that doesn't mean it's all wrong, but you should assume that every pollster has a preferred set of questions that they're comfortable asking
01:22:23.080and a set of questions that that particular pollster would never ask, right?
01:22:28.360It's helpful if you're looking at polls that are showing both sides.
