Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2387 CWSA 02⧸17⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:12.360 You know, sometimes I say that and you think it's hyperbole, but today is real.

00:00:16.920 This will be the best thing you ever saw in your life.

00:00:19.280 No, that's not a lot.

00:00:20.240 That's not true.

00:00:21.320 It will be the second best thing you ever heard.

00:00:24.060 Second best thing.

00:00:25.460 We'll talk about the first best thing later.

00:00:27.580 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels which you can't even understand with your tiny human brain,

00:00:34.360 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, gels, or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:40.520 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:42.660 I like coffee.

00:00:44.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hitter of the day,

00:00:48.040 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:50.220 It's called the simultaneous sip and habits.

00:00:51.880 Now go.

00:00:52.200 Go.

00:00:56.640 Very good.

00:00:57.580 I felt like when I was doing the simultaneous sip thing, I was talking like Spongebob a little bit,

00:01:06.920 or like the beginning of the Spongebob show.

00:01:09.780 Here's a tiny little bit of trivia for you.

00:01:13.960 You know the voice of Spongebob, Tom Kinney?

00:01:18.240 He was also the voice of Ashok, the intern, on my Dilbert TV show that lasted two half seasons.

00:01:27.000 Small world.

00:01:27.800 Anyway, we have so much news.

00:01:31.620 We're going to get to the big news.

00:01:33.020 We're going to talk about Mike Benz, and we're going to talk about Trump's legal stuff and all that.

00:01:38.740 But have you seen the AI from Gemini yet?

00:01:42.600 Or the, I think it's Google's product, Gemini?

00:01:46.340 Man, I hear it's amazing.

00:01:47.900 Has anybody tried it yet?

00:01:48.740 How many of you have tried it?

00:01:53.000 Because I hear it's incredible.

00:01:56.000 Yeah.

00:01:56.980 Anyway, I'll tell you why I said that later.

00:02:01.620 Sometimes things are not what they seem.

00:02:04.660 Yeah.

00:02:05.000 Sometimes things are not exactly what they seem.

00:02:07.200 All right.

00:02:10.120 Well, there's a study that says exercise is way more effective than antidepressants.

00:02:17.260 Almost twice as effective.

00:02:19.080 More than twice as effective.

00:02:21.180 So they actually, now I thought this was going to be backward science.

00:02:25.600 I was all ready to say, oh, I found another one.

00:02:28.340 Because I like to do backward science stories where they get the correlation backwards.

00:02:33.400 And it's sort of obvious.

00:02:34.520 It's like, uh, no, I don't think jail causes crime.

00:02:39.420 I think the crime caused the jail.

00:02:41.120 You know, that sort of thing.

00:02:42.580 So as soon as I saw that the people who exercised were in better mental health than the people who didn't,

00:02:49.440 I said to myself, ah, it's one of these fake studies where obviously the real correlation is that if you're sad,

00:02:56.580 you don't exercise as much.

00:02:58.620 You know, obvious.

00:03:00.200 But it turns out they may have done this one correctly in the sense that they had a control group.

00:03:04.520 And they did not just do a retrospective study of how people already felt.

00:03:09.880 They had a bunch that went on drugs and a bunch that went on nothing but exercise.

00:03:14.660 And they compared them.

00:03:15.920 And it wasn't even close.

00:03:18.340 Now, I'm going to add this to my other category of story.

00:03:22.080 I call it should have asked Scott.

00:03:25.920 Should have asked Scott.

00:03:27.440 Is there even one time you ever went for a walk on a nice day and you didn't feel better when you were done?

00:03:35.060 Even once.

00:03:37.180 I don't think so.

00:03:38.120 I feel like we all feel that, like, it's just as clear as you could possibly feel it.

00:03:44.580 That your mental health is absolutely positively influenced by your exercise and going outdoors.

00:03:52.220 And if you exercise outdoors, even better.

00:03:54.020 Now, I do wonder if this study was compromised by the fact that the people were exercising, in many cases, outdoors.

00:04:04.760 Because then you wonder, wait, was it the outdoors part?

00:04:08.180 Because when you take pills, you're indoors, usually.

00:04:11.020 When you exercise, you're outdoors.

00:04:12.460 So, did they really study exercise?

00:04:16.560 Or did they accidentally study going outdoors?

00:04:21.320 Well, you should have asked Scott.

00:04:23.600 They're both good.

00:04:25.440 Going outdoors, absolutely, is going to help your mental health.

00:04:29.040 Exercise, 100% is going to help your mental health.

00:04:33.280 Do I care if this study was a little mixed up and maybe you don't know if it was the going outdoors or the exercise?

00:04:38.420 I don't care.

00:04:39.660 Do both of those things.

00:04:40.680 Speaking of health, Elon Musk weighed in on the question of hormonal birth control.

00:04:47.540 And he posted this.

00:04:48.400 Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression, and triples the risk of suicide.

00:04:54.920 And he says, this is clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.

00:05:01.280 Hmm.

00:05:01.940 You know how you could have known that?

00:05:04.060 You could have asked me.

00:05:06.360 Even without the science.

00:05:08.500 Do you know how I knew?

00:05:09.580 I've observed it.

00:05:11.960 How many of you have observed this directly?

00:05:15.380 That you saw somebody go on birth control and everything changed?

00:05:20.400 Yeah.

00:05:21.380 You've observed it directly.

00:05:22.660 Ashley St. Clair has a story, her anecdotal story.

00:05:29.220 Now, we don't want to make too much of an anecdotal story, but I've heard the same anecdotal story enough times that how in the world could it not change your mentality or your mental health if they change your hormones?

00:05:42.960 How could it not?

00:05:44.240 How could it not?

00:05:47.580 I'm saying in the comments, apologies to two ex-husbands.

00:05:52.000 Perhaps so.

00:05:53.460 Perhaps so.

00:05:54.140 Now, I don't blame any woman who's on birth control because the entire health community is telling you to do it. 0.62

00:06:04.580 So, I think this is probably one of the biggest abuses of healthcare, maybe equal to the vaccinations, maybe equal to COVID, and maybe as big as the poisoning of our food supply.

00:06:24.700 See, it's becoming more and more clear that the entities we thought were helping us stay safe are exactly the entities that are making money by not making us safe.

00:06:37.760 It seems obvious now, doesn't it?

00:06:40.540 And I also, this whole birth control thing, if you assume that it's true, that would give men two choices for relationships.

00:06:48.940 One, a woman who's having a mental health crisis and doesn't find you attractive anymore because when you take the birth control, it changes who you think is attractive. 0.58

00:07:01.060 So, that's a losing proposition.

00:07:03.740 Or, you could be with a woman who's not on birth control, and you could have a high risk of having an unwanted pregnancy.

00:07:11.780 And maybe your life would be completely altered, maybe for the good, but completely altered by that experience.

00:07:17.440 Those are two bad choices, are they not?

00:07:21.520 I used to think that there was a good choice.

00:07:24.320 Like, when I was young and I thought the pill was as safe as anything, I thought it was all tested.

00:07:29.060 And I thought, oh, there's a safe choice.

00:07:31.340 As long as you're with a woman who's on birth control, you know, if you got tested for the other stuff, not really much risk.

00:07:39.880 But it turns out there is no risk-free way for a young single man to be with a young single woman.

00:07:46.080 There's no way to do it without an unsafe risk.

00:07:51.740 Like, literally, there's no way to do it.

00:07:54.740 So, what would you predict from a situation in which there's no safe way for a young man to be with a young woman?

00:08:02.200 It's exactly what you'd expect.

00:08:06.520 You'd expect the birth, you'd expect marriage to be plummeting.

00:08:10.620 You'd expect the unwanted pregnancies of single women with no guy in their life to be through the roof. 0.58

00:08:17.960 You'd expect a mental health, you know, crisis, because the, maybe the hormones.

00:08:23.940 It's exactly what you'd expect.

00:08:25.360 All right, Sam Altman, you know him from ChatGPT, CEO of that company.

00:08:33.720 And Sam was explaining in some event about success.

00:08:38.080 He said, the most underrated quality is being really determined.

00:08:42.300 This is more important than being smart, having a network, or a great idea.

00:08:46.620 Does that sound pretty wise?

00:08:50.980 I mean, obviously, he knows how success works, because he's super successful.

00:08:55.920 And he knows a lot of super successful people.

00:08:58.760 So, it's not about being smart.

00:09:00.640 It's about, you know, the determination, more than other things.

00:09:05.600 Follow your passion.

00:09:07.280 Now, I hate to break it to you, but today is going to be all about destroying all your illusions.

00:09:12.860 Oh, I got a few illusions that you're going to lose today.

00:09:17.680 Here's the first illusion you're going to lose.

00:09:19.980 The reason that smart, successful people tell you that brains are not important is so you don't kill them and take their stuff.

00:09:29.320 That's why.

00:09:30.820 Because if Sam Altman got up there and said, you know, honestly, the secret to success is I was just born smarter than you.

00:09:36.940 And the reason I work so hard is because being as smart as I am, I know I'm working on the right things, because I'm smart.

00:09:44.780 And also, I have a really good chance that they'll work out, because I'm really smart.

00:09:49.620 And you put all those things together, and it really makes sense to work really smart to change the world, because I'm smart.

00:09:57.260 Right?

00:09:58.240 The alpha variable is genius.

00:10:01.680 If Elon Musk tells you that the reason he's successful is because he slept under his desk and worked all night, well, that's certainly part of it.

00:10:12.380 You know, it's a big part of the motivation, getting everybody else on board, focus.

00:10:17.340 It's important.

00:10:20.160 But he's the richest person in the world because he's a genius.

00:10:22.800 The other stuff, he was lucky that, you know, he could also either produce or he had them.

00:10:31.860 But it's the genius first, by far.

00:10:36.300 So don't be fooled by people who tell you it's nothing but determination.

00:10:42.020 You do have to have the determination, but knowing when to quit is important, and having a talent stack is important.

00:10:48.220 So if you can't be born a genius, you can fake it.

00:10:53.640 There's a way to fake it.

00:10:55.240 If you combine enough talents, you know, you learn how to do stuff, and they fit together well, you can effectively be a genius with an average IQ.

00:11:06.480 Because nobody else would have your certain specific combination of skills.

00:11:10.360 So that, you know, there's lots of ways to do that, but you can basically fake being a genius.

00:11:18.360 You can also fake luck.

00:11:21.180 Do you know how to fake luck?

00:11:22.640 Because obviously luck you can't directly change.

00:11:25.640 You go where there's more of it.

00:11:27.960 So I grew up in a tiny town in which there were, you know, very few opportunities.

00:11:33.420 So the first thing I did was move to San Francisco when I got out of college.

00:11:37.400 Because there was a ton of stuff happening in the Bay Area.

00:11:42.160 There was just so much energy that luck was all over the place.

00:11:46.440 You could just grab some as it went by.

00:11:48.940 So, no.

00:11:51.220 Luck is completely manageable.

00:11:54.080 Genius is a little bit manageable by combining talents to make you the special one in the room.

00:12:00.220 And determination is also manageable.

00:12:03.740 Because if you know how success works, and you've put together all the parts, the determination comes a little bit almost automatically.

00:12:13.740 Do you know what will make you work really hard?

00:12:16.760 So I say to you, hey, I got an idea.

00:12:19.340 If you work for 24 hours straight without sleep, no sleep, 24 hours straight, I'll give you a billion dollars.

00:12:28.060 And you say, what am I working on?

00:12:30.700 You go, digging a ditch.

00:12:32.740 Like, it's going to be hard.

00:12:34.100 24 hours, you're going to be, you're going to have calluses.

00:12:37.740 No, blisters, not even calluses.

00:12:39.540 You have blisters.

00:12:40.540 Every part of you will hurt.

00:12:42.200 And you go, but I'm going to get a billion dollars when I'm done, right?

00:12:46.300 Right, right.

00:12:47.340 How many of you could dig a ditch for 24 hours if you knew for sure you'd get a billion dollars?

00:12:54.160 Every one of you.

00:12:55.840 Determination is free.

00:12:58.140 Let me say that again.

00:13:00.320 Determination is free.

00:13:04.080 It comes with the other stuff.

00:13:06.000 You do everything else right, and you'll pound through a wall because you know that as soon as you're done with pounding through the wall, treasure chest.

00:13:15.660 So be careful about the advice of successful people.

00:13:20.040 They may not know exactly why they're successful themselves.

00:13:23.320 That's common.

00:13:24.120 But they may not be able to explain it to you as honestly as they should.

00:13:28.300 Ryan Fournier reports on the X platform that San Francisco just appointed someone to their San Francisco Elections Commission.

00:13:40.020 And that by itself wouldn't be much news, would it?

00:13:44.620 It's the San Francisco Elections Committee.

00:13:47.120 So it's the, this commission figures out the policies for elections.

00:13:51.760 So who do they put on the elections commission to do the policies for elections?

00:13:58.760 Let's see, checking notes.

00:14:01.220 Someone who can't legally vote. 0.71

00:14:03.900 Someone who's not a citizen.

00:14:07.920 That, that's really happening.

00:14:09.840 Now, this would be the place where I put my brilliant commentary on top of the news.

00:14:18.640 Not necessary.

00:14:21.420 Nope.

00:14:22.220 Nope.

00:14:22.660 I'm just going to let this one just sit there.

00:14:25.580 You can do it yourself.

00:14:27.320 Put your own commentary on this one.

00:14:29.420 It's a story.

00:14:30.520 Just does it all by itself.

00:14:32.740 Anyway, here's one of my, here's my favorite positive story of the day.

00:14:36.000 We'll get to the negative stuff later.

00:14:39.400 Off of Honduras in Central America, there's a little island.

00:14:45.740 And some entrepreneurs are well on the way to building, I guess it's already partly built or half built or mostly built.

00:14:54.640 It's called Prospera.

00:14:56.860 And it's on the island of Roatan.

00:14:59.120 And if you want to buy something there, you've got to use crypto.

00:15:04.260 And they've got a bunch of startups and biotech and robotics.

00:15:09.500 And apparently, they're just trying to build a city from scratch in which everything is just done right.

00:15:18.400 How much do you like that?

00:15:21.060 A couple of the visitors who went there to speak recently were Balaji Srinivasan, Naval Ravikant.

00:15:27.960 But do you remember I told you that if you know what's happening, you don't know anything.

00:15:37.100 If you know who, you know everything.

00:15:40.380 So if you don't know who Balaji Srinivasan and Naval Ravikant are, basically two smartest people in the world.

00:15:52.400 So if they both went there to visit, both had a positive experience from it, keep an eye on this.

00:15:59.640 Just keep an eye on this.

00:16:01.260 Trust me.

00:16:01.840 I've been telling you for a long time that, in my opinion, the biggest economic driver of the future, besides robots, I suppose, is going to be building cities from scratch.

00:16:14.200 And when I saw about this city, I said to myself, hey, maybe I found my second home or my escape home or the place I could go that doesn't suck.

00:16:24.980 Now, if you wanted to go there, I would suggest that you bring your own woman, because there's no indication that any female has been anywhere near that island.

00:16:36.360 So there may be one flaw.

00:16:43.020 There might just be one flaw in the plan.

00:16:47.020 I don't think there are any women there. 1.00

00:16:48.980 Now I'm joking.

00:16:49.840 I'm sure there are.

00:16:51.160 But I would be a little bit careful of who the island attracts in the first wave, because it's going to be, yeah, nerdtopia.

00:16:59.060 And I think it will be awesome in the long run, but you're going to have to give some women there. 1.00

00:17:05.660 That's somewhat necessary for the whole civilization thing.

00:17:11.420 All right.

00:17:12.260 Now, the real thing that might make a difference is that if you build this city that's on an island that's hard to get to, you may have escaped the DEI problem.

00:17:26.140 So they may have built a civilization that operates on merit, and they wouldn't have to worry about all the DEI stuff, because they're in a different country, and nobody, no homeless people are going to walk over there.

00:17:41.280 Poor people can't get to it if they tried.

00:17:44.560 So they may have found a workaround to get around the DEI trap.

00:17:48.840 Speaking of that, you've probably heard this story before, but it's just worth mentioning again.

00:17:58.140 Did you hear about the Harvard professor?

00:18:00.820 He was an economist.

00:18:02.480 And in 2016, he published a study to find out about police shooting of black citizens versus white.

00:18:10.120 And he was an economics professor, Roland Fryer.

00:18:15.320 And he did find that police were more than twice as likely to manhandle or beat up black and Hispanics when they stopped them. 0.95

00:18:25.100 But they were less likely to shoot blacks than whites. 0.94

00:18:33.100 A lot less likely. 0.91

00:18:35.000 As in 24% less likely.

00:18:38.380 Like a lot.

00:18:40.120 And apparently when that happened, the entire world blew up, and he was so at risk, he had to get security.

00:18:48.600 Because apparently the truth is really, really dangerous.

00:18:54.700 So I put that there just as another example of the truth is dangerous, so we can't have any of it.

00:19:04.120 Now, I've been showing you some fun examples of what I call liar face.

00:19:08.960 Now, just to review, liar face is what liars do when they know they're lying.

00:19:16.780 So this is not, you don't do this if you are just deluded or you have TDS.

00:19:21.440 This is when you know you're lying.

00:19:23.360 And the tell is your eyes go wide during the lie.

00:19:28.300 And your mouth, for a moment, your mouth doesn't seem to match the eyes.

00:19:33.560 That's the tell.

00:19:36.560 Now, I'm going to show you a picture of someone you'd recognize.

00:19:42.220 And I want you to say, does his face always look like that, or is he in the middle of a lie?

00:19:50.660 All right.

00:19:50.980 I'll show you first the locals' platform.

00:19:54.080 All right.

00:19:55.100 Does it, look at the eyes.

00:19:56.300 Is that the way his eyes normally look?

00:19:59.280 All right.

00:19:59.700 Here, you guys.

00:20:00.920 Do his eyes normally look like that?

00:20:03.780 No.

00:20:04.580 He was right in the middle of a lie.

00:20:07.320 This is a number of years ago, in which he was explaining that Trump was crazy to imagine the government was spying on him.

00:20:15.860 This is mid-lie.

00:20:17.300 I actually caught the video at the moment he was telling you that Trump was not being spied on.

00:20:23.820 Now, have you seen enough examples yet? 0.85

00:20:26.680 Liar face is a real thing.

00:20:29.940 You all know, because I say it too often, I'm a trained hypnotist.

00:20:36.660 When you're trained as a hypnotist, one of the skills you learn is to look for micro changes in faces.

00:20:42.340 So you're just studying, you're studying faces all the time to watch, you know, the eyes don't match the mouth, and, you know, if there's a skin tone change, or you get flush.

00:20:52.440 You know, any micro changes you're always looking for, and that tells you if the hypnosis is working, basically.

00:20:57.940 But the sort of related skill you pick up is you can identify liars with a precision that's just crazy.

00:21:07.120 Now, only if they haven't practiced too much.

00:21:10.920 If they're talking off the cuff, you can see it every time.

00:21:15.660 But if they've practiced, you know, like a car dealer, car dealership, you're not going to see the lie.

00:21:21.040 The eyes aren't going to open, probably, because they're too practiced.

00:21:25.560 So that's called liar face.

00:21:29.000 So let's talk about the legal case against Trump.

00:21:37.980 That doesn't even narrow it down, does it?

00:21:39.860 There's so many legal cases against Trump, I honestly can't keep them straight.

00:21:44.800 They all look a little bit similar to me.

00:21:47.500 However, this latest one, I think I have it right.

00:21:50.500 This is Judge Dobby the House Elf.

00:21:54.600 I believe that's his name.

00:21:56.460 Dobby the House Elf. 0.97

00:21:58.820 So he's a judge in New York, and he decided that Trump is just a terrible man.

00:22:05.380 A terrible man, and all of his many, many financial corruption problems are so bad that he had to fine him a hundred gazillion, bazillion, trillion dollars.

00:22:18.960 I'm rounding off, because there's going to be some interest involved.

00:22:23.620 So a gazillion, bazillion, trillion dollars.

00:22:26.460 And also, Eric Trump and his brother are going to owe some money, because, I don't know, just because they're related and they remind you of Trump or something.

00:22:36.420 I don't know what the reasons are. 0.99

00:22:38.840 Basically, all the reasons that come out of the judge and the trial are all bullshit. 0.99

00:22:42.600 You know that, right? 0.99

00:22:44.440 You know, we broke it into two complete movies.

00:22:48.400 Again, the movie I'm watching, I saw a complete corruption of justice.

00:22:53.460 I saw a corrupt judge in a corrupt system handing down a judgment that would never happen to any other person.

00:23:00.880 That's what I saw in my movie.

00:23:03.300 Here's what MSNBC is telling you with their eyes really wide open.

00:23:11.160 They're telling you that there are so many financial corruptions involved in this case.

00:23:17.880 Are there?

00:23:18.900 I thought it was just a difference about the value of something.

00:23:21.740 And that never really matters, because the bank always checks on their own, and it's just sort of standard business anyway.

00:23:29.820 But according to MSNBC, there are so many violations of financial law involved here.

00:23:37.560 I didn't see any.

00:23:39.080 But there are so many, according to them, that if you allowed Trump not to be punished, do you know what that could lead to?

00:23:47.500 It could lead to a lack of credibility in the financial system.

00:23:53.120 Do you know what that could lead to?

00:23:55.900 The crumbling of civilization itself.

00:23:58.760 Do you know what that could lead to?

00:24:00.620 Cannibalism.

00:24:02.360 Cannibalism.

00:24:02.880 So the MSNBC take is that if you allow a bank to make a lot of money giving a loan to Trump, but his estimate of the value of his properties was wildly different than the banks, and of course the bank checks themselves, that's their normal way of business.

00:24:23.000 They never, ever, ever, not once, take the word of the applicant for the loan.

00:24:30.420 Has never happened in the history of bank loans.

00:24:33.380 Won't do it once.

00:24:34.660 Didn't do it this time.

00:24:35.940 Never, ever.

00:24:36.900 They check.

00:24:37.880 Or they look at a document that they trust.

00:24:39.900 And so this is what would happen.

00:24:47.060 Because the bank made a lot of money and they're very happy about the transaction, and Trump, if he's not seriously punished by having to pay a gazillion, trillion, bazillion, zillion, gazillion dollars, if they don't make him do that, then he could do this again.

00:25:05.020 You know, right now, even while I'm talking, he might be overvaluing an asset right now.

00:25:16.000 That could be happening.

00:25:18.380 I mean, imagine, if he overvalues an asset while banks are happy in making money from him and he's got his loan that he's paying off on time, well, just the fact that he's overvalued those assets and could do it again is going to destroy the financial credibility of our system.

00:25:35.020 Which, in turn, destroys civilization itself, which, in turn, leads to cannibalism. 0.96

00:25:41.900 So if you want cannibalism, you assholes, well, then you should be in favor of this being overturned. 0.95

00:25:49.160 But if you want to be good people, good people, the kind that watch MSNBC and think it's real, well, then you would want Trump to pay a fine of one gazillion, trillion, bazillion dollars, because that's how you protect the system. 0.95

00:26:07.920 Elon Musk asked a question, which I should know the answer to, but I don't.

00:26:18.260 He said on a post, who is Trump supposed to pay, given that there were no victims?

00:26:24.480 He said on a post, who is Trump supposed to pay, given that there were no victims, but the victims made $100 million. 0.99

00:26:54.260 Huh, it's almost as if the entire thing is bullshit. 0.99

00:27:04.520 Almost. 1.00

00:27:06.000 I'm starting to think it's all bullshit. 0.99

00:27:09.260 But we can tell it's not. 0.99

00:27:11.320 I mean, you know, don't imagine that our justice system is corrupt.

00:27:17.600 Come on, you guys.

00:27:18.640 You know the justice system is not corrupt.

00:27:21.320 Let's listen to some of the things that the judge said.

00:27:25.540 The judge said that Trump had a complete lack of contrition and remorse for making that bank $100 million and paying off his loan on time.

00:27:34.200 And that it borders on the pathological, that he wouldn't believe the illegitimate corrupt justice system was doing a good job to help the country.

00:27:43.480 And that even though Trump is not Bernie Madoff, you know, he's not that bad, didn't kill anybody, they are incapable of admitting the errors of their ways.

00:27:57.460 They're incapable.

00:27:58.400 You know, if Trump will not admit that Mar-a-Lago is only worth $18 million, well, let me explain this to you.

00:28:09.460 If Trump doesn't agree with the judge's estimate that Mar-a-Lago, which is clearly worth over $100 million, if he doesn't agree with the obvious fake fact that 100% of the observers know is a fake fact, if he doesn't agree with what is not true, that's a sign that he's incapable of admitting the error of his ways.

00:28:33.020 And because he can't admit that the thing that the thing that we all know is not true, and has been proven not to be true, and the court has shown it not to be true, that because he can't admit that, he must pay.

00:28:48.700 Because otherwise the financial system will crumble, civilization will crumble, cannibalism.

00:28:55.920 You understand.

00:28:57.000 I mean, it all just follows.

00:28:58.700 Now, I'm being a little bit team player here.

00:29:02.540 The other issue is that apparently Trump would not admit that his penthouse was 33,000, or no, it was 11,000 square feet, not 33,000.

00:29:15.000 Now, my guess is that he thought it was 33,000.

00:29:20.260 Have you ever had anybody ask you about the size of something like your house or something, and you give them a wrong number, and then later you're like, oh, that's not that.

00:29:28.920 It's actually a different number.

00:29:30.680 I've done that a million times.

00:29:33.500 It's very common.

00:29:35.160 You actually remember something, but you just remembered it wrong.

00:29:38.340 My guess is that whether the penthouse was 11,000 square feet or 33,000, it was probably worth the same amount either way, and either way they were going to check, and he knew they were going to check.

00:29:54.960 So you wouldn't tell that kind of a lie to somebody who's going to check.

00:30:00.620 Don't the public records tell you the size of it?

00:30:03.500 Sometimes they actually send somebody over to measure it.

00:30:07.300 They'll literally send somebody with a, you know, a measuring device just to see if it really is.

00:30:12.900 So that seems to be a complete corruption of justice.

00:30:19.060 I wonder if there's any larger context in which we could understand this legal case.

00:30:24.560 Huh.

00:30:26.100 I wonder.

00:30:28.100 We'll get to that. 1.00

00:30:30.240 And what I'm wondering is, my understanding is that even though Trump is going to appeal, and I would expect it gets thrown out on appeal because it's so fucking stupid, 0.95

00:30:40.400 I think that he's supposed to pay it first, I think that's my understanding, he has to pay it first, and then he can appeal, and if he wins, he gets it back. 0.70

00:30:53.520 From whom?

00:30:55.060 I don't know.

00:30:56.020 Does it go into escrow or something?

00:30:58.060 And it just waits until they see if it's real?

00:31:00.460 And then where would it go?

00:31:02.300 Does it go to the government?

00:31:04.820 I don't even know.

00:31:06.040 Well, so I've got a suggestion.

00:31:11.420 If Trump is short on cash, and I imagine he would.

00:31:14.720 Now, one way is to declare bankruptcy, but people don't understand bankruptcy. 0.99

00:31:21.660 They would just say he's bad at business and he's a crook.

00:31:24.780 So you don't want to have that on your record, even though he's done it before, by the way.

00:31:28.440 He's had some bankruptcies before, I think.

00:31:31.400 But you don't want to do that because it's just a bad look, especially when you're running for president.

00:31:35.540 So if he needs the cash to pay off this enormous fine, which is 10 trillion, gazillion, gazillion, gazillion dollars, then I think he should get a bank loan.

00:31:50.480 Because my understanding is the banks are really eager to do business with him because he's a really good customer.

00:31:55.860 So maybe Deutsche Bank would float him a loan so he could pay off these penalties.

00:32:04.300 What?

00:32:05.500 Why are you laughing?

00:32:07.240 That's where you go to get money.

00:32:10.320 You go to a money...

00:32:11.300 The banks are where you go to borrow money when you need money.

00:32:14.040 If you have a temporary cash flow problem, where are you going to go?

00:32:19.000 Is there some other way to do it?

00:32:23.160 How do big companies act when they need a big loan?

00:32:27.660 They go to a bank.

00:32:29.720 You know, it's not something that you would do with issuing stock.

00:32:35.120 You know, you don't want to issue stock to do it.

00:32:37.240 You go to a loan or go to a bank.

00:32:39.040 So I think you should go right back to Deutsche Bank.

00:32:42.860 They're quite happy with him.

00:32:44.720 And get himself a loan to pay off the thing.

00:32:49.260 And he should declare that his penthouse is 33,000 square feet.

00:33:02.380 Just for fun.

00:33:04.500 Anyway.

00:33:05.020 There's some indication there might be the beginning of what could be a trucker revolt on New York City.

00:33:13.560 I don't know how big this is, but I saw one trucker saying that a number of truckers were going to refuse loads to New York City.

00:33:22.580 Now, I don't know much about the trucking industry, but can an individual operator say no to a specific route and a specific load?

00:33:31.280 Or do they all have bosses?

00:33:32.560 If they all have bosses, they can't do it.

00:33:36.820 I'm seeing a lot of yeses.

00:33:38.720 They must be independent contractors who take loads on demand.

00:33:45.100 Is that what happens?

00:33:46.440 So they could literally say, I just won't go to New York.

00:33:51.900 They could just say, there's enough business.

00:33:54.600 I'll just do other business.

00:33:55.900 And somebody speculated, I saw online, that you wouldn't have to stop all deliveries to New York to make a dent.

00:34:05.700 10% would give them a lot of trouble.

00:34:09.460 Yeah.

00:34:09.820 10% would be a big, big problem.

00:34:13.920 Do I think that New York City should be crashed because of this hearing?

00:34:19.980 Yeah, absolutely.

00:34:22.980 That would be entirely appropriate citizen response. 0.98

00:34:26.980 I think that if New York City can't act like a civilized place, civilized people shouldn't fucking go there. 0.59

00:34:32.780 If New York City doesn't have a Department of Justice, if you're going to let crime run wild on the streets, and if you're going to try to ruin a presidential candidate for purely political reasons, obviously, no. 0.96

00:34:48.960 No, you don't get food.

00:34:52.520 You don't get food. 1.00

00:34:54.880 Get your own fucking food. 1.00

00:34:58.440 So that might happen. 1.00

00:34:59.680 I doubt you're going to see a trucker revolt on New York City, but it might.

00:35:04.800 Have you all seen the AI called Sora from ChatGPT?

00:35:09.560 So it allows you to write some text and it turns it into a little movie.

00:35:13.800 Well, a lot of people are saying it's not just going to be the cool new thing it does, but it's going to change humanity because you can text into a perfect film.

00:35:30.300 Now, it takes a while to think about that before you can see how that could change humanity.

00:35:35.860 But imagine, if you will, that anybody can create a photorealistic, engaging video that's not real and that they will be so well done, you'll prefer them over reality.

00:35:52.240 And imagine a world in which you're seeing things visually that didn't happen.

00:35:57.700 Now, let's compare.

00:35:59.900 Suppose you said, I think Trump did a bad thing, whatever it is.

00:36:06.600 Now, that's, you know, he said, she said, you just, you know, one team believes it's true, the other doesn't.

00:36:13.560 But it's just words.

00:36:16.300 Now, imagine somebody speaks those words into AI and then AI creates the movie where it puts the person you're accusing in the scene and shows them doing the crime that never happened.

00:36:28.640 If you see a photorealistic crime on video, sounds like, looks like, is exactly like the real person, let's say Trump, are you ever going to be convinced it didn't happen?

00:36:42.280 Nope, because your visual senses overwhelm your other senses.

00:36:47.000 They're the boss of your brain.

00:36:49.800 Your visual sense is your truth and everything else is just fighting for, you know, little space.

00:36:56.040 The truth is what you see.

00:36:59.300 So if somebody creates a fake truth and just puts it in front of you, it doesn't matter if it says this was made by AI, it didn't really happen.

00:37:07.920 It's still going to become your truth.

00:37:09.260 Because your eyes create your truth.

00:37:14.860 And we can't turn that off.

00:37:16.740 You don't have enough rational brain to say, I know that's AI. 0.85

00:37:21.340 Nope.

00:37:22.700 Yeah, some of you will in some cases, of course.

00:37:25.720 There will be some of you who can reject it.

00:37:28.080 But mostly because you're on the other team.

00:37:30.260 If you were on the team that was primed to believe that Trump would eat a baby, and you saw a video that showed him eating a baby, like just sticking a fork into a baby, half of them would believe it just because they would be primed.

00:37:46.000 And then it becomes part of their permanent belief system because there's a visual to go along with it.

00:37:50.300 Yeah, I do agree that when you can make any visual as compelling as reality, and anybody can do it,

00:37:56.940 it's not limited to a movie production company working for two years to produce it, and you all know it's a movie because you went to a theater to see it.

00:38:05.980 We don't know what's ahead.

00:38:07.840 We really, really don't know what's coming.

00:38:10.900 It could be good.

00:38:12.260 It could be bad.

00:38:13.020 It could be just a challenge.

00:38:14.980 But wow, it's going to be exciting.

00:38:19.640 Did you see Van Jones on Bill Maher?

00:38:22.020 And he was with Ann Coulter.

00:38:29.680 You have to watch the clips if you haven't seen them because they're talking about some shooting.

00:38:35.520 And Bill Maher says, we don't know who did it.

00:38:38.500 And Ann Coulter just says sort of low under her breath, well, we know a little bit about it.

00:38:43.700 And then they say, what are you talking about?

00:38:45.560 And Van Jones is sitting next to Ann Coulter as she's explaining what she means.

00:38:50.760 She goes, well, we know they didn't tell us anything about the shooter, so that means it's not white.

00:39:00.380 And then she gave some examples to make her point.

00:39:03.320 And you should see Van Jones' face when she's saying this right next to him.

00:39:08.140 Because he knows it's true, but he also knows that the audience might have a different reaction.

00:39:14.380 So he gets this face like...

00:39:18.700 I think his face didn't know what to do.

00:39:23.380 Because typically people are not confronted with truth right in front of them.

00:39:27.460 Like if you're on CNN, you don't even see anybody talking anything that's true right in front of you.

00:39:33.100 Like you see it on TV and stuff, but nobody's sitting next to you telling you something that's obvious and true.

00:39:40.320 So that was funny.

00:39:41.900 And then Van Jones had a narrative he was pushing, the Democrat narrative.

00:39:46.680 This is wonderful.

00:39:48.000 That Trump is the reason the border is open.

00:39:52.620 Just hold that in your head.

00:39:55.000 That the Democrat narrative,

00:39:58.060 and Van Jones, who knows better?

00:39:59.700 He knows better.

00:40:00.840 He's not hypnotized like the others.

00:40:02.860 He knows better.

00:40:04.360 He's saying that the reason that Trump is to blame

00:40:07.100 is that they had that excellent border bill that would have certainly made things different.

00:40:12.200 And because Trump was against it, the Republicans were against it too,

00:40:16.700 because they want to make him happy.

00:40:18.440 And therefore Trump is the reason the border is wide open.

00:40:22.440 Now, everybody who's not in the hypnotized camp, 0.97

00:40:26.840 you know, the poor bastards watching MSNBC and CNN and the mainstream media, 0.96

00:40:31.260 every one of the people watching this knows that the border bill was a fake, right? 0.99

00:40:37.100 Is there anybody who doesn't know that?

00:40:38.900 I would say 100% of the people watching this live stream now

00:40:42.120 are completely aware that the border bill was a fake.

00:40:46.140 I don't need to go into the details.

00:40:47.780 It wasn't trying to close the border.

00:40:50.860 And so with or without that bill, it had nothing to do with the border.

00:40:55.820 Basically, it was going to process them faster.

00:40:59.380 It was basically nothing in terms of closing the border.

00:41:02.200 So that's interesting.

00:41:09.180 But if you really want some fun, I reposted this this morning so you can find it in my feed.

00:41:15.320 So somebody named Jay Stewart compiled 10 clips of Bill Maher

00:41:21.300 not understanding anything about anything.

00:41:23.560 And when you see him all together, it's really shocking.

00:41:30.060 And what it is, is you can tell he's been poisoned by the mainstream media narratives.

00:41:35.680 And there are entire topics that are just really central to understanding the news

00:41:41.560 they'd never heard of. 0.99

00:41:44.100 And when you see him all together, it's like, oh, my fucking God. 0.99

00:41:48.020 Oh, my God. 0.99

00:41:50.000 There's so much that's obvious and true that he's never seen, never even heard of.

00:41:56.740 I think MKUltra was one.

00:41:59.680 Never heard of it.

00:42:02.160 Imagine.

00:42:03.020 How would you understand the world?

00:42:05.300 I mean, just some really basic stuff.

00:42:08.720 All right.

00:42:12.120 I've got a question for you.

00:42:13.540 I want you to tell me if this is an example of hate speech or a really funny joke.

00:42:21.500 Now, I'm not giving you this because I think it's funny.

00:42:25.640 Because it might just be hate speech.

00:42:27.940 So we're speaking of this not as humor, which would be, I think, uncouth and uncalled for.

00:42:35.040 So if I can ask all of you to be on your best behavior, to be kind to people,

00:42:39.520 and simply judge whether this is an hilarious comment or a hate speech, which would be terrible

00:42:47.220 because I don't want any of that.

00:42:49.160 All right.

00:42:50.000 And it's a comment on Admiral Rachel Levine.

00:42:57.260 You know Admiral Rachel Levine.

00:42:59.460 She's trans.

00:43:00.860 And it was said on video the other day, a quote, climate change is having a disproportionate

00:43:08.500 effect on black communities.

00:43:10.900 Now, Seth Dillon, who's the CEO of the Babylon Bee, a satirical site, had a comment, and this

00:43:18.560 is what I'm going to ask you.

00:43:20.180 I just want your opinion.

00:43:22.360 Is this a hate speech or the funniest thing you've heard today?

00:43:27.020 And I just think it's terrible.

00:43:31.100 Personally, I think it's terrible.

00:43:32.740 But I want to see what you say.

00:43:34.940 So after Admiral Rachel Levine said climate change is having a disproportionate effect

00:43:39.000 on black communities, Seth Dillon posted, man dressed as woman says weather is racist.

00:43:48.140 Now, that's not funny. 1.00

00:43:50.380 Oh, you bastards. 1.00

00:43:52.760 Oh, you're terrible. 1.00

00:43:54.400 Some of you are laughing at that. 0.98

00:43:55.860 Like it's a joke.

00:43:57.660 Come on.

00:43:58.980 Come on, grow up. 0.95

00:44:01.460 Well, I'm disgusted with all of you. 0.95

00:44:04.540 And I've lost all respect.

00:44:06.620 I've lost all respect.

00:44:09.260 So can you join me in condemning Seth Dillon and the entire Babylon Bee for imagining that

00:44:14.740 there's any humor to be found in this situation?

00:44:17.540 No, there's not.

00:44:19.660 It's not funny, and we will not put up with it.

00:44:23.460 Next story.

00:44:24.160 Ezra Klein, who's a columnist for the New York Times, which is important to the story.

00:44:31.320 He has a podcast, and he called on President Biden to bow out and go out a hero.

00:44:40.780 I don't have to add the jokes anymore, do I?

00:44:47.660 I feel like my entire role has been taken from me.

00:44:52.660 Like I used to like, here's the news.

00:44:55.900 Now watch what I do with it.

00:44:57.960 Watch me take this news and turn it into a joke.

00:45:02.860 Now I'm like, I could be replaced by a toaster.

00:45:05.300 Yeah, he wants Biden to go out a hero.

00:45:12.160 I have nothing to say about that.

00:45:15.080 I have no, what am I going to add to that?

00:45:18.220 It can't get any funnier.

00:45:21.160 But it's happening.

00:45:22.540 All right.

00:45:22.800 Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi are behind a bombshell new report that says that, can you believe this?

00:45:33.080 I know.

00:45:33.660 You're all going to be shocked by this because you didn't know.

00:45:38.200 I mean, this is something you couldn't have possibly known was happening in reality behind the scenes.

00:45:43.420 See if this shocks you.

00:45:46.560 Bombshell report.

00:45:48.700 Russia didn't want Trump to win in 2016.

00:45:51.800 They wanted Hillary. 0.99

00:45:54.140 And the CIA knew it.

00:45:57.140 And Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, manufactured evidence for the Russia hoax.

00:46:03.840 And that there's a document that people have seen that has been, I guess, a whistleblower.

00:46:11.480 And the document is a 50-page thing that details their plot to, quote, cook the intelligence until it made it look like it was the opposite.

00:46:21.940 And that Russia really wanted Trump to win when, in fact, they were well aware that Russia wanted Hillary to win.

00:46:30.560 Probably for the same reason that Putin said he likes Biden because they're traditional and predictable.

00:46:38.720 So, now, as Michael Schellenberger said, he was on Jesse Watershow.

00:46:46.240 And Schellenberger says, you probably think this is an old story.

00:46:49.720 How many of you thought that you already knew it was an old story, like before this week?

00:46:56.280 It sounded familiar, didn't it?

00:46:58.180 Do you know why you think it's an old story? 0.99

00:47:01.620 Because you fucking knew it. 1.00

00:47:04.100 You fucking knew it was true. 1.00

00:47:07.020 Yeah, you knew it. 0.99

00:47:08.840 You didn't need a whistleblower.

00:47:11.400 You didn't need confirmation.

00:47:13.500 It was kind of obvious that the entire thing was a hoax.

00:47:16.700 And that, now, the part that's new is knowing that there might be an actual document and knowing that Brennan was, you know, clearly the head of the spear.

00:47:26.480 I think that was obvious if you saw him on TV.

00:47:28.920 And that the CIA literally knew that Hillary was preferred by Russia. 0.76

00:47:36.780 So, just hold that in your head for a moment.

00:47:42.960 All right.

00:47:43.320 I want you to hold all the stories I've told so far in your head because there's a climax coming in which it's all going to get tied together.

00:47:51.260 And you don't want to leave before that.

00:47:53.340 It's going to be good.

00:47:55.680 All right.

00:47:56.080 Next story, then we're going to tie all together in the end, is Wall Street Silver on X is reporting that, oh, this is from, let's see, I think this was from RFK Jr.

00:48:12.840 That even if Ukraine war ends today, there'll be another half a trillion spent there rebuilding the country, and the U.S. might be putting a lot of that money up.

00:48:26.660 So, the real expense might be in winning.

00:48:29.880 It might be more expensive to win.

00:48:33.260 And who do you think is going to build that?

00:48:35.200 Hmm.

00:48:35.600 I wonder who would do all that rebuilding.

00:48:36.980 The contracts to rebuild are even bigger than the war contracts, says RFK.

00:48:41.640 Mitch McConnell was asked in March if we could afford $113 billion for Ukraine.

00:48:46.960 He said, don't worry.

00:48:49.780 This is Mitch McConnell.

00:48:50.960 Don't worry.

00:48:51.700 It's not really going to Ukraine.

00:48:53.420 It's going to U.S. military contractors.

00:48:56.920 And RFK Jr. says it's all just a money laundering scheme.

00:49:01.200 And that Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed, BlackRock owns them all.

00:49:06.980 By owning their stock.

00:49:10.100 So, BlackRock would be rebuilding the country and rearming it and making trillions of dollars.

00:49:19.240 And RFK Jr. thinks that we're not there for, let's say, strategic geopolitical reasons, but rather the entire thing is a fake-out and a money laundering operation.

00:49:33.120 Does that sound true?

00:49:34.380 Do you think it's mostly a money operating money?

00:49:38.420 You know, I think it could be a combination of a bunch of things.

00:49:41.660 I think there are some people who, you know, believe they're stopping Russia.

00:49:45.520 I think there are other people who are opportunistically saying, well, if we're going to be fighting Russia anyway, might as well make some money.

00:49:53.340 And then there are probably other people who literally are pushing it just because they're making money and don't really care about how many people die.

00:50:03.100 So, it's probably not all one thing.

00:50:04.980 It's probably a big mess of horribleness all in one place.

00:50:08.560 But let me ask you this.

00:50:14.040 If you're like me, haven't you had a bunch of mysteries about why things are the way they are?

00:50:20.780 Have you asked yourself, why is the border open?

00:50:23.880 Have you asked yourself, why is Soros funding the things he's funding?

00:50:31.400 Like, what's up with that?

00:50:33.040 Like, it doesn't make sense.

00:50:34.240 And have you noticed that there's just a whole bunch of things that feel different in the last few years as if you can't tell who's in charge?

00:50:45.080 Have you noticed that?

00:50:46.560 Like, you've got this Biden person that you imagine is in the job that would be in charge, but he's clearly not.

00:50:55.920 So, how do you explain all the mysteries?

00:51:00.460 Turns out there's an answer to all of it.

00:51:04.240 There's an answer to all of it.

00:51:06.300 And I'm going to recommend something, the strongest recommendation I've ever made on anything, on any topic.

00:51:16.480 This is a must-do.

00:51:17.960 This is mandatory.

00:51:19.480 If you're going to watch any more of my live streams, you have to watch Mike Benz talking on Tucker's show.

00:51:29.400 You can only see it on X, I believe, or maybe Tucker's site.

00:51:34.240 But Mike Benz describes the answer to every mystery.

00:51:40.700 In other words, who's actually in charge?

00:51:44.340 Now, I can't do the hard work of explaining what he's going to explain.

00:51:49.160 I'm going to, I'll just hit some points.

00:51:51.100 But know that just listening to me isn't going to get you there.

00:51:57.480 Because you have to see the entire tapestry to understand it at all.

00:52:02.760 Right?

00:52:03.100 I'll give you just some of the highlights.

00:52:05.360 But trust me, take an hour off and sit there with somebody you love or just a friend and listen to it together.

00:52:14.120 And just watch each other's heads expand and explode.

00:52:18.740 It will feel like a mushroom trip.

00:52:22.480 Part of it is that the information is mind-blowing and, you know, well, credible.

00:52:27.880 It's all credible.

00:52:29.580 Part of it is that Mike Benz does the most extraordinary job of communicating that you're ever going to see in your life.

00:52:38.840 He talks almost, he does almost all the talking for an hour, and you will be riveted, and there will be no slow parts.

00:52:48.940 For one hour, he will have you just looking at it like with your eyes open, like, wait, what, what, wait, what, what?

00:52:57.480 And watch Tucker's reaction throughout.

00:53:01.440 He's actually stunned.

00:53:04.860 Tucker is stunned.

00:53:06.740 He doesn't even know what to say.

00:53:08.840 So I'll just give you a little bit of a taste of it, but you've got to, got to, absolutely have to watch it.

00:53:19.180 All right?

00:53:19.340 It's just not even, it's not even optional.

00:53:22.100 You've got to watch it.

00:53:23.940 So do that for me.

00:53:26.820 And I'm not exaggerating when I say it might be the most entertaining thing I've ever watched.

00:53:31.600 Because it did feel like a mushroom trip.

00:53:33.940 It was like an out-of-body experience.

00:53:35.500 It was that.

00:53:37.240 All right.

00:53:37.840 You get the idea.

00:53:40.840 Here are some of the things.

00:53:44.240 If you go back in history, here's some of the mysteries that I've wondered about.

00:53:49.300 Do you ever wonder why Google was so successful and Facebook was so successful?

00:53:55.060 And you said to yourself, well, you know, got some geniuses.

00:54:00.160 Well, it might be.

00:54:02.280 And it seems quite clear that the entire intention of building up an internet communication thing was so that the CIA could control the news everywhere.

00:54:13.320 So it's probably not a mystery why companies like Google and Facebook got so big so quickly.

00:54:24.640 It's because the CIA needed to create these tools to control other countries because their main job is overthrowing other countries.

00:54:34.100 And the main way you do that, the number one way you do that, the number one way you do that is to control their information.

00:54:39.280 If you can control their information, and the internet had to be controlled, then you can control them and do color revolutions.

00:54:48.320 The color revolution is where you fund some dissidents, you control the media, and then the media says the leader is bad.

00:54:57.300 And then the dissidents get everybody else in because they don't know it's being controlled by the CIA.

00:55:03.540 They think it's organic, so they join.

00:55:06.180 Now you've got this fake organic people who don't know that they were organized by the CIA.

00:55:11.240 Now you've got the fake news telling them that they're right.

00:55:14.960 And then it just plays out, and it leads to revolution.

00:55:17.800 So these were tools that the CIA was using primarily to take over other countries, and they had a big network built to do that.

00:55:29.420 Now here's one of the things I learned, which I had predicted in my book, The Religion War, about 20 years ago. 0.75

00:55:36.080 So this was actually a prediction in my book.

00:55:39.560 Apparently they mapped influence.

00:55:43.040 They created a map or a series of maps so they could show what groups or people were influencing what other groups or people.

00:55:52.400 And the reason they did that is they know who to suppress.

00:55:57.780 Just hold that in your mind.

00:55:59.700 They figured out who was the most influential people and groups online so they could suppress them.

00:56:06.980 That was the point of it.

00:56:09.380 Yeah.

00:56:09.520 And, of course, they were doing this with foreign countries.

00:56:16.520 And then a bad thing happened.

00:56:20.280 And this is Mike Benton's telling.

00:56:22.000 He tells it much better.

00:56:24.620 In 2016, unexpectedly, against 20 to 1 odds, Trump won.

00:56:31.940 And all the people who had built up these capabilities to do these amazing cyber things to other countries, such as Russia, were out of a job.

00:56:43.100 And they had all these skills for overthrowing countries.

00:56:46.820 And suddenly they were told that Trump is a real enemy.

00:56:51.100 And that Trump might even be working with Russia.

00:56:53.320 Now, did you ever wonder why everything was Russia, Russia, Russia?

00:56:59.200 This is why.

00:57:00.760 The people and the tools that were anti-Russia people were just repurposed into being anti-Trump people.

00:57:09.000 And the best way to do that would be to pretend he's really Russia. 0.75

00:57:12.960 Just say he's Russia. 0.96

00:57:14.300 He's working with Russia. 0.75

00:57:15.440 Russia embraces him.

00:57:16.980 Russia is colluding with him.

00:57:18.340 So that whole thing was made up because they had a whole anti-Russia machine and people trained.

00:57:26.380 And so if they could make it all one thing, they could, you know, control Trump and keep him out of office.

00:57:33.680 Now, if you think it's a Democrat thing, it probably wasn't.

00:57:38.560 It probably is a populist or an anti-populist thing.

00:57:41.980 So as Mike Benz speculates, and I would agree, that Bernie Sanders would have been treated the same as Trump.

00:57:50.200 So it wasn't about left or right.

00:57:52.360 It was about populist versus people they could control.

00:57:56.920 The people they could control are going to do stuff like take over Ukraine.

00:58:02.280 Bernie wouldn't.

00:58:03.800 Trump wouldn't.

00:58:04.500 So the things that they wanted to do, who are the people in power, they couldn't do with a Trump or a Bernie.

00:58:12.440 So it's not left or right.

00:58:14.460 It's just no populists because populists stop wars. 0.98

00:58:19.560 And so all of these people turned their tools domestically.

00:58:26.420 But that's illegal.

00:58:28.540 It's illegal.

00:58:29.400 So what did they do to solve the problem that it would be illegal to use these tools domestically?

00:58:36.820 They changed language.

00:58:39.740 Because if you can change language, then the thing that was illegal, according to your language, could become legal simply because you changed words.

00:58:52.900 So, in other words, this old domestic terrorism of white supremacists and domestic terrorism, it was as fake as you thought it was.

00:59:03.820 And the entire purpose of it was to say that there's terrorism inside the country.

00:59:09.720 So the external facing tools, which were now substantial, they could map influence and they could shut it down through the control of the social media companies and the mainstream media.

00:59:21.700 So they turned inward, made Trump the same as Russia, with a fake narrative, the John Brennan narrative, and then they mapped the influencers, and then they suppressed them.

00:59:37.200 People like me.

00:59:39.940 People like me on YouTube right now.

00:59:41.920 So I'm literally on YouTube right now with an account that is growing in all other ways except on YouTube.

00:59:51.400 YouTube has me capped at about the same traffic, no matter my topic, with one exception.

00:59:59.400 Do you know what the exception was?

01:00:01.460 Can you tell me what was the one day my traffic on YouTube was not seemingly, seemingly artificially capped?

01:00:10.660 It was the day I got canceled.

01:00:15.460 Yep.

01:00:17.020 So when I got canceled, my traffic was, you know, I don't know, 10 times.

01:00:22.780 And as soon as I stopped talking about that, right back to baseline.

01:00:28.200 None of that's organic.

01:00:29.520 It doesn't look like it.

01:00:30.840 So there's one of those mysteries for you.

01:00:33.100 The mystery was, why does my traffic on YouTube never go up?

01:00:37.400 I mean, I give you this quality content every day.

01:00:42.660 It should go up.

01:00:44.840 Well, it turns out that YouTube is part of Google.

01:00:47.800 Google is probably under CIA control and always has been, same as the other social medias except for X.

01:00:54.620 And they have a map that they can tell who is influential.

01:00:58.020 There's no way in the world I'm not on that map.

01:01:00.400 And so I'm being suppressed in my own country for being connected to terrorism.

01:01:10.880 Because in all likelihood, some of you do some social media things that are connected to something that somebody would call terrorism, domestic terrorism.

01:01:22.200 You know, because they can change language, not because it really is.

01:01:24.860 So, going on.

01:01:30.640 So, once the machine turned inward, you could see all of the tools that they were using.

01:01:40.640 Such as the Justice Department.

01:01:44.720 Do you see all the lawfare against Trump?

01:01:47.620 And you say to yourself, hey, that looks like a lot of coincidences.

01:01:52.060 It's not.

01:01:52.520 So, the justice system is corrupted by the cabal.

01:01:58.320 Now, in Mike Benn's telling of it, the Atlantic Council is the group that's sort of pulling the strings for war and energy and the big questions.

01:02:08.520 The big geopolitical stuff.

01:02:10.940 Now, he said that they're made up of seven ex-heads of the CIA.

01:02:18.860 I did a little research.

01:02:20.240 I didn't see that.

01:02:21.140 But is that a fact?

01:02:23.180 Is that true?

01:02:25.360 I'll tell you some of the people I did see on the list.

01:02:28.160 The Atlantic Council.

01:02:30.220 We got the chairman and CEO of Pfizer.

01:02:35.620 Hold on.

01:02:36.920 Just process that.

01:02:38.740 The group I say is running the world.

01:02:40.700 Or Mike Benn say, and I'm agreeing with him.

01:02:44.040 Has a advisory board.

01:02:46.960 And one of the people on it is the chairman and CEO of Pfizer.

01:02:49.900 The others on it are, these are just a few, there's lots of them.

01:02:56.760 Former U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the former U.S. Director of National Intelligence, a guy named James Clapper.

01:03:02.640 Do you remember seeing Brennan and Clapper sitting next to each other, telling you that the Russia collusion was real?

01:03:09.980 So one of the main Russia collusion guys is one of the main guys on the Atlantic Council with a whole bunch of ex-military and spy people.

01:03:20.320 And CEOs of a company like, did I mention Pfizer?

01:03:25.960 Yeah.

01:03:26.480 Why is Pfizer even in this group?

01:03:30.460 How does it even make sense?

01:03:34.460 Does everything start to make sense now?

01:03:37.400 Everybody in this group is making a shit ton of money by doing everything bad in the world.

01:03:43.420 Everything that you don't want to happen is coming out of the same group.

01:03:48.580 Now, here's another mystery.

01:03:52.380 What's up with George Soros?

01:03:55.560 You ever wonder about that?

01:03:56.600 What the hell's up with George Soros?

01:03:57.760 Because I could never understand why he would be funding things that are clearly destructive.

01:04:03.760 And now I understand.

01:04:06.560 He's connected to the Atlantic Council.

01:04:09.260 He's their bank.

01:04:11.000 He uses them to do stuff they can't do because he can do it.

01:04:15.900 He's got money and he's got these organizations.

01:04:18.780 So, now put it all together.

01:04:20.920 The Atlantic Council apparently is the real power.

01:04:25.220 Not Biden and not Obama.

01:04:28.320 And not Hillary Clinton. 0.99

01:04:30.240 It appears that they are associated with this group, but they're not the heads of the snake.

01:04:35.120 It's probably a loose bunch of people, a cabal of people who individually have power, but collectively they have interests.

01:04:43.040 That's what it looks like.

01:04:43.900 And so, now put it all together.

01:04:50.800 There's the Atlantic Council and they happily work with the Open Society Soros Group.

01:04:58.120 Soros funded a whole bunch of prosecutors in the United States.

01:05:01.460 And you said, why is he funding prosecutors that are letting criminals out of jail?

01:05:07.480 You couldn't understand it, right?

01:05:09.580 It was like a mystery.

01:05:10.760 He lives in this country.

01:05:12.380 Like, why would he want crime everywhere?

01:05:14.660 Now, it's those same prosecutors who are putting, basically taking Trump off the field or trying to.

01:05:25.120 Do you understand yet?

01:05:26.420 The letting criminals out of jail part was never important.

01:05:32.360 The controlling the courts was the important part.

01:05:35.260 Because now they have people who will put in jail any Republican who causes trouble, like Trump.

01:05:42.580 So, they can basically jail any populist with the legal system because the Atlantic Council works with Soros.

01:05:51.280 Soros funds his prosecutors.

01:05:53.400 Prosecutors can put you in jail.

01:05:54.680 A lot of mysteries are solved now.

01:05:58.680 Let's do another one.

01:06:00.160 How about the open border?

01:06:02.080 Have you been puzzled why there's an open border?

01:06:06.800 If I had to guess, I would say the Atlantic Council or the CIA, who's probably working with them, probably are just working with the cartels.

01:06:16.200 That's probably the whole reason.

01:06:18.800 I don't think there's any mystery to it anymore.

01:06:21.220 Because we know they could close the border anytime they wanted to.

01:06:24.960 So, it does seem that the Atlantic Council and the CIA probably have some mutual interest.

01:06:33.420 Might be financial.

01:06:35.180 Might be power.

01:06:36.940 But it's pretty obvious that the cartels could be closed down if the people in power wanted that to happen.

01:06:43.040 So, that mystery feels solved to me.

01:06:46.600 How about DEI?

01:06:48.680 Did you ever wonder about DEI?

01:06:50.820 Another thing that's got a lot of Soros funding.

01:06:53.960 Do you think that the DEI is to make the world a nicer place?

01:07:01.320 That's probably what a lot of people working on it think it's about.

01:07:04.220 You know what it's probably about?

01:07:07.760 It's probably about creating another weapon, much like the prosecutors.

01:07:12.680 So, if they can't get you for legal reasons, they can cancel you for being a racist.

01:07:20.020 Sound familiar?

01:07:20.860 I think DEI is only a weapon to be used against populists.

01:07:26.840 The populists are the ones who say, hey, let's protect America, and that might include closing borders, and it might include, you know, not being so, let's see, be more meritocracy-oriented and less race-oriented.

01:07:43.520 So, interestingly, a thing that doesn't make sense for the health of the country is a gigantic thing, and it's all connected back to weird funding from a weapon that will definitely take down a lot of populists, but is unlikely to take down any Democrats.

01:08:04.280 So, do you remember how I got canceled?

01:08:10.040 The Washington Post was the lead, and everybody else just folded after them.

01:08:15.500 The Washington Post is a CIA entity.

01:08:19.500 Does it surprise you at all that I was canceled?

01:08:26.400 So, apparently, this big blob can take out anybody because they've got a DEI tool.

01:08:32.920 They can always accuse you of being racist, and then they have the entire media that will support their story.

01:08:40.080 So, here are two things that wouldn't work unless you also own the media.

01:08:43.580 These Soros prosecutors and the law affair they're doing against Trump, that would never work if the media were honest.

01:08:52.760 Do you agree?

01:08:54.140 If the media were honest, even a little bit, you couldn't do that stuff.

01:08:58.200 Not right in front of the public.

01:08:59.340 But as long as the media can say his financial crimes were so horrible that it will destroy the financial system, possibly civilization itself, and then cannibalism.

01:09:11.860 And if the media tells you that, and that's what MSNBC is saying without the cannibalism, and CNN, then you think it's true.

01:09:21.500 And you think these are perfectly good uses of the Department of Justice.

01:09:27.480 Same with DEI.

01:09:30.220 DEI is basically something that the press will support, and it's just a weapon.

01:09:36.500 So, these things that don't make sense to you, they're weapons.

01:09:41.720 They're weapons against populists, and then it all makes sense.

01:09:46.640 As soon as you see it, everything that was a mystery completely makes sense.

01:09:53.540 Why do we have a president who is obviously brain dead and is not being removed by his own party?

01:10:00.000 There's no mystery to that.

01:10:03.620 He's not in charge.

01:10:05.360 The only thing an American president can do under our current system is name post offices.

01:10:11.800 I guess that's Congress.

01:10:13.000 But basically, you know, the little domestic stuff nobody cares about.

01:10:17.720 But if it comes to war or energy or geopolitics, apparently the president's not in charge.

01:10:24.520 It seems to be some loose cabal of ex-CIA people.

01:10:28.560 All right.

01:10:31.460 And then, why the war in Ukraine?

01:10:35.040 It's exactly what you think.

01:10:36.900 Because the same group of people found a way to turn it into a piggy bank.

01:10:40.480 They may have some problem with Russia as well.

01:10:44.060 But, yeah.

01:10:46.440 The Atlantic Council.

01:10:48.760 I'd like to mention one other company.

01:10:51.340 There are a number of companies that contribute, too.

01:10:54.640 Because they raise money for their operation.

01:10:56.520 So, I looked at the list of contributors.

01:10:59.920 I found this company.

01:11:01.080 I don't know if you've heard of this.

01:11:02.740 So, this is a contributor to the Atlantic Council.

01:11:06.120 It's a company called Burisma.

01:11:09.060 Has anybody heard of that one?

01:11:10.940 It's called Burisma.

01:11:12.240 Burisma? 0.99

01:11:14.580 How's your head?

01:11:17.420 Yeah.

01:11:17.860 Oh, really?

01:11:18.740 Yeah.

01:11:18.980 I just read it this morning.

01:11:20.320 I didn't hear it from somebody.

01:11:21.580 I looked myself.

01:11:22.640 It's on their official website.

01:11:24.420 It's on their website.

01:11:26.000 There's a list of donors.

01:11:27.920 So, one of the members is the head of Pfizer and is partly funded, not that much, but is partly funded by Burisma.

01:11:38.240 Lots of other entities as well.

01:11:39.680 Now, let me ask you a hypothetical question.

01:11:44.860 I need a fact check on this seven prior CIA people being at the Atlantic Council.

01:11:51.080 I hope I got that right.

01:11:52.700 Has anybody seen a confirmation of that?

01:11:55.880 The seven ex-CIA heads?

01:12:00.080 I don't know.

01:12:01.880 It doesn't sound right.

01:12:04.040 Am I mixing up organizations?

01:12:06.640 Do I have the wrong organization?

01:12:08.020 I see the link above.

01:12:14.800 You've seen it?

01:12:16.440 Is there a Pacific Council?

01:12:18.180 Oh, no, Pacific Council.

01:12:20.560 Okay.

01:12:23.380 So, apparently NATO works with these guys.

01:12:27.360 Anyway, if I have the organizations mixed up, you can correct it after the show.

01:12:35.040 No, it's not the World Economic Forum.

01:12:38.020 Anyway, if there's an entity that has seven ex-CIA people on it, plus the heads of, you know, ex-heads of our military,

01:12:47.000 do you think that anybody is the boss of them?

01:12:51.680 If there is such an organization that has all the ex-heads of the CIA, they don't have a boss.

01:12:58.640 They don't have a boss, because nobody could be their boss.

01:13:11.380 Well, they might have somebody who takes the lead on some things, but no, they would not have a boss.

01:13:17.920 They would be sort of co-equals.

01:13:19.600 So, yeah, definitely the president is not in charge of the big stuff.

01:13:25.720 I think that's obvious.

01:13:27.380 All right.

01:13:27.680 Let's see if these stories make sense to you now.

01:13:32.640 CBS just did a story criticizing what some consumers are saying about the Cybertruck.

01:13:39.140 Does it matter what they're criticizing about the Cybertruck?

01:13:42.160 No.

01:13:42.980 That's not important to the story.

01:13:44.180 What's important is that CBS, who is allegedly one of the mainstream entities who are really just puppets for the main powers,

01:13:54.380 as Mike Benz could explain to you, is going after Musk because he's not in the control of the people who want to be in control.

01:14:04.120 So the people like Trump are being attacked with the entire justice system.

01:14:09.460 You're seeing all of the areas of the government being weaponized against Musk.

01:14:14.180 And now you see the media supporting them with stories about his products.

01:14:19.340 Do you see it yet?

01:14:21.020 None of it's organic.

01:14:23.460 This is all organized attacks on citizens of the United States, largely by citizens of the United States.

01:14:33.880 Elon Musk himself said yesterday,

01:14:36.440 the public still doesn't understand even a tiny fraction of the power of the censorship government industrial complex.

01:14:42.780 As predicted, my companies and I came under relentless attacks the moment the censorship of the platform was lifted.

01:14:50.000 How far will they go to stop me?

01:14:53.260 Well, so far, he lost $56 billion in pay because the state of Delaware said, nope, you can't have it.

01:15:00.980 Trump has lost $450 billion, if you count the interest, and could bankrupt him.

01:15:12.680 I was canceled and my entire income was erased.

01:15:17.320 Do you see it yet?

01:15:18.720 Everybody see it?

01:15:22.560 Yeah.

01:15:23.200 So now the powers that be have assembled a set of tools which they can use internally to, first of all, map out who is influential.

01:15:32.700 And then they can target them. 0.97

01:15:34.660 And they can kill them with DEI. 1.00

01:15:37.140 Hey, they're a racist. 1.00

01:15:38.180 And then the media will back them. 1.00

01:15:40.000 They can kill them with the legal system. 0.99

01:15:42.700 Hey, he committed a crime. 0.98

01:15:44.060 And even if he didn't, the media will back it.

01:15:48.300 So even if later it's overturned, it doesn't matter.

01:15:51.120 The public will still think it's a crime.

01:15:54.440 So it looks like they control all the various departments.

01:15:59.680 Through Soros, they control all the external entities.

01:16:03.840 They control the internal fact checkers.

01:16:06.160 And then there are groups like the ADL that probably have some funding connection to the whole blob.

01:16:14.740 So pretty much everything internally is fake and not what you think it is.

01:16:20.800 But it does answer all the mysteries.

01:16:24.560 All the mysteries.

01:16:26.440 This is why my mind was so blown listening to Mike Benz.

01:16:30.480 Because it removed every mystery I've had.

01:16:35.880 Every single thing is explained.

01:16:38.340 All of it.

01:16:40.580 And let me, here's a story.

01:16:44.220 I don't know if this is true.

01:16:46.340 But Texas Lindsay was posting this.

01:16:50.840 CNBC was caught on a hot mic.

01:16:54.280 With an interview with Metta's president of global affairs.

01:16:58.100 And they asked them how many, I guess, how many people were working on disinformation.

01:17:06.860 Now, remember I told you that they changed language so that they could use their external spy tools internally.

01:17:14.500 Disinformation is whatever they say is disinformation.

01:17:18.040 So what really is happening is they want to get rid of information that's not convenient.

01:17:23.540 So they just say it's disinformation.

01:17:25.300 So how much disinformation effort is Metta doing? 0.99

01:17:31.880 Well, here's the exchange.

01:17:33.780 CNBC.

01:17:34.720 How many people do you have working on election misinformation?

01:17:38.620 Metta.

01:17:39.260 We have around 40,000 people working on integrity and safety.

01:17:45.340 Wait, what?

01:17:48.400 40,000?

01:17:49.600 And apparently the hot mic caught the CNBC host saying, 40,000?

01:17:56.080 They only have 67,000 employees.

01:18:00.080 And then Metta, the Metta person, kept going. 0.99

01:18:03.360 And he said, we spend around $20 billion on this issue.

01:18:07.660 We spent $5 billion last year alone on election integrity.

01:18:12.100 Do you know what election integrity means?

01:18:14.020 It primarily means telling the public that voting by absentee ballot or voting by mail is totally safe, which is absolutely not true.

01:18:27.400 So this voter integrity is to lie to the country so that voting by mail is popular.

01:18:34.420 Now, according to Mike Benton's, the CIA knew before 2020 election that mass mail-in votes would favor Democrats, and it would be a real problem if Trump seemed to have won by a lot.

01:18:53.020 But then later, the votes came in, the mail-in votes were counted, and it flipped it, which is what happened.

01:19:01.680 So the CIA knew in advance that having an emergency, let's say COVID, that moved them into a mail-in ballot situation or allowed them to exploit that, they knew that that would allow them to win, and they knew that the public would not trust that it was a legitimate election.

01:19:20.020 So they had plans to deal with it.

01:19:23.020 Just think about that.

01:19:26.580 The CIA knew who was going to win because they had gamed the system to make it so.

01:19:31.940 That's the allegation.

01:19:35.400 And certainly, you probably said to yourself, how could it be true that a protest was turned into an insurrection?

01:19:42.680 Well, this is why.

01:19:44.340 There's no mystery to it.

01:19:46.240 The news is controlled, so they can just say that a protest is an insurrection,

01:19:50.460 and it gives them more tools to arrest Trump and to hunt and suppress his followers and put populists in jail.

01:20:00.880 So yeah, that's all crooked.

01:20:02.480 So all the social media networks, except for X, appear to be owned by the system,

01:20:07.860 and they're spending tremendous amounts of money to make sure you do not hear the truth.

01:20:16.000 That really is what they're suppressing, is the truth.

01:20:19.220 And it's very direct.

01:20:20.520 Dr. Cornel West had a funny quote.

01:20:27.160 He said, when I look at Donald Trump, I see Civil War, number two.

01:20:30.600 When I look at Joe Biden, I see World War, number three.

01:20:35.100 He's good at that stuff, isn't he?

01:20:38.160 That man can turn a phrase.

01:20:41.900 The Civil War, I don't think it'll be a literal Civil War,

01:20:45.440 but you can see that division would be through the roof.

01:20:49.640 So did you wonder why everything went wrong in this country?

01:20:54.460 You thought just everything was broken?

01:20:57.280 It turns out there might be one group of people who are easily identified

01:21:02.440 who have created a behemoth of interconnecting web of power that just broke everything.

01:21:10.220 Because what you think is broken is not broken from their perspective.

01:21:15.180 Because if they weaponize something, it's not broken to them.

01:21:21.060 You know?

01:21:22.100 Gun ownership might look broken to some people,

01:21:26.040 because so many people get killed by guns.

01:21:28.660 But it's not broken if you need a gun to defend your house.

01:21:32.100 Right?

01:21:32.320 To you, it's just a weapon.

01:21:33.920 If you're the person who doesn't own a gun, it's a huge problem.

01:21:38.080 It's a risk. 0.99

01:21:39.120 If you own a gun, and you need it to shoot the guy who came into your house to shoot you, 0.99

01:21:44.600 it's a tool. 0.98

01:21:46.820 So what you think is everything in society broken is somebody else's weapon

01:21:52.840 that's working exactly the way they wanted it to, and that's why it maintains.

01:21:57.560 The reason it's not self-correcting is that the people in charge of it

01:22:01.320 don't want it corrected, because that would take their weapon away.

01:22:07.740 How's your brain doing?

01:22:09.120 Yeah, your brain's probably exploding.

01:22:14.560 You have no idea how bad it's going to get until you listen to Mike Benz.

01:22:20.100 Yeah.

01:22:20.820 So, how much danger do you think I'm in, personally?

01:22:26.340 How much danger?

01:22:29.780 Like, physical and legal financial danger.

01:22:33.560 I know I'm in financial danger.

01:22:37.720 Obviously, financial peril.

01:22:40.540 But what about physical?

01:22:43.300 I don't think I'm in physical danger.

01:22:46.500 And here's why.

01:22:47.180 I believe that everything I say reaches zero Democrats.

01:22:55.940 Nothing I say reaches any Democrat.

01:22:57.900 Because I'm an accused racist, I can't be on television.

01:23:02.860 Right?

01:23:03.820 I can't be on television.

01:23:05.480 I can be on podcasts of people who largely agree with me.

01:23:09.520 So, I'm just talking to people who don't need any convincing, because they're already there.

01:23:14.300 So, I've been completely neutralized.

01:23:19.580 Completely neutralized.

01:23:21.660 Do you think a lot of Democrats are in the feed right now?

01:23:24.560 So, I'm on YouTube, which in theory could be discovered by anybody.

01:23:27.920 So, in the comments on the other platforms, on, let's say, just YouTube.

01:23:34.860 If you're on YouTube, are you a Democrat?

01:23:39.500 There's something wrong with the comments, it looks like.

01:23:41.500 So, probably I won't say.

01:23:42.960 But I'll bet you I get, basically, no Democrats.

01:23:46.780 So, if the CIA slash platforms can simply make me talk to myself,

01:23:56.120 that's all they need to do.

01:23:57.380 But you can't do that with Trump.

01:23:59.960 Because Trump is going to be heard, he's too big.

01:24:02.740 You can't do it with Musk, because Musk is too big.

01:24:06.840 So, you have to go after their finances.

01:24:09.000 You have to go after them financially.

01:24:10.620 You have to go after them legally.

01:24:12.860 But me, they already won.

01:24:16.400 I'm completely neutralized.

01:24:18.960 Because I have no contact with Democrats.

01:24:21.900 Or anybody who needs to know the truth.

01:24:24.380 So, I can sit here and tell you,

01:24:26.120 Oh, yeah, the entire thing is rigged.

01:24:29.120 In my opinion, we don't have a democracy anymore, if we ever did.

01:24:33.340 We don't have a republic.

01:24:35.260 We have something closer to a Russian, Chinese, Iranian situation,

01:24:41.020 where there's a group of people whose interests run everything.

01:24:47.160 But, if they killed me, let's say if they killed me or jailed me,

01:24:57.720 it would be hard to ignore me. 0.77

01:25:00.520 But if they just let me talk on my little channels

01:25:03.200 and nobody sees but people who already agree with me,

01:25:05.900 I have no effect on anything.

01:25:08.000 I'm actually the safest person they could possibly worry about.

01:25:11.620 Remember, they have influence maps

01:25:14.740 so they can see how I could possibly get to a Democrat

01:25:19.460 and they can just clip it off.

01:25:22.440 They can just prune that part of my tree

01:25:24.320 so that my message goes out to everybody who's already convinced

01:25:28.380 and just stops when it might have gotten to some population

01:25:32.540 that had never heard it before.

01:25:34.860 That's complete control.

01:25:39.420 Complete control.

01:25:42.220 So, what happened in 2016?

01:25:45.760 Appears to be catching them off guard.

01:25:48.840 Caught them off guard.

01:25:50.400 Didn't see it coming because the polls were wrong.

01:25:54.040 So, what's it going to take to fix it?

01:26:00.660 I don't know.

01:26:02.700 I don't know.

01:26:03.340 We'll figure it out.

01:26:06.100 But I will tell you that one thing that could fix it

01:26:08.440 is an overwhelming victory by Trump.

01:26:11.160 Then they'd have to show their hand.

01:26:14.180 We might be close to the point

01:26:15.680 where they don't have to hide it anymore.

01:26:18.520 I think we might be there.

01:26:20.060 I think they probably don't have to hide it anymore

01:26:22.320 because it's just so powerful.

01:26:25.660 There's nothing you could do.

01:26:27.740 All right.

01:26:28.320 That, ladies and gentlemen,

01:26:29.760 concludes the mind-breaking stories of today.

01:26:33.340 I'm going to say bye to platforms of YouTube and Rumble and X.

01:26:39.740 If you'd like to be watching the Dilbert Reborn comic,

01:26:46.240 I remind you that it's subscription only now,

01:26:49.080 so I can hide from the bad guys.

01:26:51.160 And it's on the X platform.

01:26:52.480 You can see my profile for that.

01:26:54.100 We're on Locals, where you get lots of other stuff.

01:26:56.220 And if you were watching it today, 0.70

01:26:59.360 you would see that Dilbert's garbage man

01:27:02.960 is training his own AI model 0.99

01:27:05.520 using the garbage that he encounters on his route.

01:27:09.260 And Dilbert's confused.

01:27:10.600 He says,

01:27:10.960 I didn't know you could train AI on garbage. 0.99

01:27:14.120 And garbage man says, 0.92

01:27:15.460 well, there's a lot you don't know. 0.67

01:27:17.520 And then Dilbert realizes,

01:27:19.560 you're training the AI through the garbage to make movies, right? 0.97

01:27:26.240 And then the garbage man says, 0.90

01:27:28.140 I got a five-film deal from Disney.

01:27:31.060 So that's the sort of stuff you're missing,

01:27:33.040 things I couldn't do in my syndication days.

01:27:35.980 And now I can say directly anything I want,

01:27:38.980 you know, within reason.

01:27:40.700 And that's what you're missing.

01:27:42.880 So thanks for joining.

01:27:45.280 YouTube Rumble the next.

01:27:46.460 And I will see you tomorrow morning, same place, same time.
