Summary
In this episode of the podcast, I talk about a mind bending optical illusion, Harvey Weinstein's release from prison, and the Pope's new peace plan. I also talk about some of the most important breakthroughs in the history of fusion energy, and why I think it could be the cheapest and cheapest fusion energy of all time.

problem is there's no red in the picture and it's the weirdest illusion the picture only
00:00:06.480
has two colors black and some kind of aqua blue i think but you look at the picture and clear
00:00:12.720
as day you can see the color red and a red coke can but if you zoom in on the picture you see
00:00:18.560
there is no red in the picture whatsoever now it's one of the best optical illusions but oh
00:00:25.840
i think some people are at least on locals you can see it um it's it's a real mind bender
00:00:32.880
because i don't know if i see the red because my brain knows it's a coke can and i think that might
00:00:40.160
be why um if i recognize it as a you know the shape and the and the title maybe it just turns a red in
00:00:47.840
my mind uh or maybe there's something about those two colors that makes me see red i have no idea
00:00:53.040
how that works but i'll tell you one thing if you have any doubt about your reality
00:00:59.600
being subjectively created by your your brain creating a little movie for you that should end
00:01:05.280
it for you because you can see in real time that you're seeing a reality that isn't real
00:01:12.560
that's what's fun about optical illusions you can see for yourself that your brain can create
00:01:19.360
a completely artificial reality and you can live inside it just fine and the fun thing is
00:01:25.760
that whether that cocaine is red or not red we both live in the illusion and some people don't
00:01:32.640
see it as red by the way so the people who don't see it as red can live and work and reproduce and we
00:01:40.000
can live in completely different realities right next to each other usually a red can i don't all right
00:01:46.400
here's some more news there's a i'm going to call this evergreen news maybe this will be my theme today
00:01:54.960
the theme will be haven't i heard this news before but why does all the news feel like i
00:02:01.120
already heard it before but you're calling it news again there's gonna be a lot of that today
00:02:08.240
have you ever heard a story that sounds like this there's a company that made a big breakthrough
00:02:13.840
infusion energy first time you've ever heard that one has anybody ever heard a story like that
00:02:22.640
big breakthrough infusion energy gonna have it any minute now you better you can turn off the heat
00:02:32.800
all right well this one has a little more meat on it than others some seattle-based company called zap
00:02:39.200
and they claim to have made a breakthrough in the economics of it i guess is the way to say it
00:02:48.720
so they figured out a way to do something that normally takes these big expensive superconducting
00:02:53.920
magnets and lasers and they don't need them so their technology is orders of magnitude less expensive and
00:03:00.160
quicker to build so if that's true they should be able to iterate rapidly and create the
00:03:05.440
the uh the cheapest fusion energy of all time apparently it's a um i think bill gates may have
00:03:15.040
been one of the funders of this just to make you suspicious yeah so i guess he put in some money in
00:03:21.520
this so do you think the fusion actually is going to become a thing because it turns out they can they
00:03:29.200
can now create the heat they need and they can do it orders of magnitude cheaper than all the ways
00:03:34.720
they've ever done it before i feel like they're getting close i'll remind you that several years ago sam altman
00:03:45.520
told me actually in person that he was sure that fusion had already reached the engineering phase
00:03:53.440
meaning that the basic science supported its feasibility but you just had to try a bunch of
00:03:59.520
things in an engineering sense until you got it here we are it's several several years later but it looks like
00:04:08.400
he was right they're just iterating until they get it i saw just before i came on that the harvey
00:04:15.440
weinstein's uh rape conviction in new york were overturned or or a rape conviction now he's still
00:04:24.160
in trouble in california right so it's not like he's a free person but how in the world is
00:04:31.920
trump being sent to jail and harvey weinstein is being freed
00:04:39.920
maybe rv weinstein knows where the bodies are buried maybe he knows where the bodies are buried
00:04:47.760
i don't know well here's some news again that you've never heard before this this will come as
00:04:53.440
quite a shock uh but the pope did an interview and you're not going to believe this but he's not in
00:05:00.400
favor of war wow wow i didn't see that coming and uh he wants wow he's he's even he's got even got a
00:05:10.240
plan you know mostly when people say when people say they're not in favor of war lots of times they
00:05:17.680
don't have a good practical alternative to it but the pope does it's called the negotiated peace
00:05:23.360
yeah so he's against war and he'd like this thing called the negotiated peace
00:05:34.320
you know i'm glad that we check in with the pope every year or so
00:05:37.920
because i keep i keep expecting him to change his mind
00:05:42.240
and wouldn't it be great one day it's like uh pope what do you think of war you know i've been
00:05:48.240
thinking it over for the past year and honestly i think it's awesome i'm all for it
00:05:57.600
no he's not going to say that but uh he also would he he refused to confirm
00:06:08.400
and i don't think that was a fair question really
00:06:11.840
all right well here's another story uh bill barr of all people ex-attorney general of trump who
00:06:17.840
of course trump and he had some problems toward the end of the uh end of his term and uh bill bar
00:06:25.680
says that uh uh he's going to endorse trump because he doesn't think biden is the right choice
00:06:34.160
so trump you know i have to admit one of the things i appreciate about trump is he doesn't hold a grudge
00:06:42.800
so he and bill bar had some tough times but bill bar came out in public and said he would he would
00:06:49.840
vote for trump so trump in his usual reciprocal way decided that he would soften on bill bar and he put
00:06:57.840
out a statement that said that about bill bar trump said uh despite the fact that i called him weak
00:07:04.480
slow-moving lethargic gutless and lazy uh but but based on his new endorsements uh he says i greatly
00:07:12.880
appreciate the wholehearted endorsement so i am removing the word lethargic from my statement
00:07:19.680
thank you bill so i used to be weak slow-moving lethargic gutless and lazy but now he's been upgraded to
00:07:27.120
simply uh weak slow-moving gutless and lazy but not lethargic not lethargic and i feel that that's big of
00:07:36.960
trump but uh the other question that was not asked and again i feel this is a huge gap in our knowledge
00:07:50.800
okay uh now we're gonna talk about hillary clinton and i'm also gonna ask if she shits in the woods but
00:07:56.160
byron um byron york is pointing out that hillary clinton said that trump this hillary clinton is
00:08:04.240
so predictable trump admires putin because quote putin does what trump would like to do like what
00:08:11.520
imprison his opposition said clinton so she thinks trump is like putin because putin would like to
00:08:18.240
imprison his opposition byron york points out that uh clinton said this um
00:08:26.160
and that trump did not immediately respond because of course he is on trial facing a maximum of 136
00:08:35.040
let me let me say completely clearly i would be in favor of trump rounding up almost all the top
00:08:42.080
democrats and putting them in jail because it's pretty clear that they are a criminal organization
00:08:47.280
at this point i think it's fucking sorry i think it's absurd that we're treating the democrats like
00:08:53.840
a political party they are so clearly a criminal organization and we'll talk about that in a little
00:09:00.080
while yes i think trump should put a whole bunch of people in jail for really really obvious public crimes
00:09:07.360
really really really bad ones so yeah uh i don't want to make any no equivocation a whole bunch of
00:09:17.360
people probably a hundred people need to be in jail at least
00:09:23.360
all right uh tarker carlson's his latest video is talking about all the racism against white people
00:09:30.160
and he's got an author on that's talking about some new book about that he says there's a systematic
00:09:38.240
or systemic racism in the united states against whites and tucker says everyone knows it but nobody says it
00:09:44.720
how come well i'd like to pull forward a hypothesis why nobody says it
00:09:53.280
how do you think it works out does it work out really well no nobody says it because other white
00:10:03.280
people will destroy them other white people will destroy them the problem is white people because
00:10:11.360
white people will throw all of their white people under the bus so that they don't get accused of being
00:10:15.920
racist white people will kill as many white people as they need to to save themselves so
00:10:23.120
no white people are a disgrace because uh no we're not even allowed to speak because other white
00:10:29.680
people will not let us but uh i got my freedom of speech so all of you all right uh scientists have a
00:10:39.920
a new holographic display that will be maybe regular eyewear do you know how happy i am
00:10:47.440
that it looks like there's a good chance that everybody will be wearing enhanced reality glasses
00:10:52.480
but instead of those big weird goggles the glasses are going to look a lot like the ones that i wear
00:10:57.520
every day that's right i remember when i was in my 20s and i started to become bald prematurely
00:11:06.080
and i was like oh this is the worst thing because everybody likes hair and i'm getting bold and then
00:11:10.480
there were so many boomers that were losing their hair that they would just shave their heads
00:11:15.440
and then shaved heads became you know not just acceptable but in some cases oh it looks pretty
00:11:22.160
good with a shaved head you know you got your uh you know michael jordan etc so a lot of athletes and
00:11:28.800
other people were shaving their heads and i thought to myself well this is perfect just by pure luck i was
00:11:34.800
born in the only time in human history when shaving your head or being bald didn't look as bad as it
00:11:40.960
looked you know historically and then but i still have to wear glasses you know i went in to get lasik
00:11:47.440
and they said oh your eyes are not qualified for it for some reason so i can't get lasik so i have to
00:11:53.440
wear glasses for the rest of my life while everybody else is not wearing glasses you know i think even
00:11:58.720
contacts don't work for me but uh maybe maybe the world will come my way and all of you will be
00:12:06.720
wearing glasses and then when you see me show up you're not going to say hey is there some genetic
00:12:11.840
defect with him that he cannot see as well as the rest of us no you're going to say there is a
00:12:17.200
forward-thinking technologically savvy guy who's seeing the world through enhanced vision that's what
00:12:25.840
you'll say yes that's right the world is coming my way here's a funny study in sweden they did a study
00:12:35.040
to see if there was a computer game that they created that would help students detect fake news
00:12:46.160
before i even tell you anything do you know what's wrong with that study
00:12:51.440
in the comments just shout it out what's wrong with the study i haven't even told you anything about
00:12:56.240
it but it's a it's in sweden it was a computer game and it helps students better detect fake news
00:13:03.040
what's wrong with the study let me tell you what's wrong with the study it necessarily requires
00:13:10.800
the people who ran the study to know what fake news looks like
00:13:17.200
now that's funny the people running the study want us to believe that they can identify fake news
00:13:23.840
you want to bet why why don't you send the people who ran this study my my hoax list you know at least
00:13:33.360
the one for the united states see how many if they follow news in the united states see how many they
00:13:38.080
think are hoaxes how about we we test those researchers against their own news in sweden i don't know if
00:13:46.240
the news in sweden is real or not but there's no way in the world you could do this test there is no
00:13:54.480
way to do the test because there is no standard by which any of us can determine what is real news
00:14:00.960
that's not a thing and every time i hear about in the united states somebody's always says hey you know
00:14:07.120
let's train people on fake news or let's put a list together of all the of all the hoaxes and stuff
00:14:13.440
and i always say the same thing you can't because since we don't agree what is real and what is not
00:14:19.680
nobody can put the list together of what's real nobody yeah you might be right but nobody would
00:14:27.760
believe your list so it's not a thing you you can't get there from here there is no such thing
00:14:35.280
as somebody telling you what the real news is we don't have any ability to know that it's unknowable
00:14:41.120
you can you can definitely look for you know for signals of fake news but i don't know if anybody
00:14:49.040
knows for sure anyway so uh i did biden sign the uh the bill that would divest tiktok i think that
00:15:02.080
got signed right it looks like it's going to happen but uh are you are you surprised that
00:15:07.760
the whole tiktok thing went from nobody seemed to care congress just didn't seem to have the energy
00:15:14.640
to pass it to all of a sudden it's really easily passed it just it just turned on a dime
00:15:25.440
i don't think we have to hide the fact that uh at least on this topic uh israel is the tail that's
00:15:34.880
wagging the uh the dog you know maybe there's other factors for example i do think that our our
00:15:42.800
intelligence people want to get control of tiktok so they have a back door which they presumably
00:15:47.920
don't have if china controls it so some billionaires are looking to maybe buy it but
00:15:54.080
i assume they've already worked something out with the with the intelligence people or they
00:15:58.320
wouldn't be able to do it or they wouldn't even get serious about it
00:16:03.680
and uh there's a republican senator p ricketts who says tiktok should be banned because the pro-palestine
00:16:10.400
videos have more views than the top 10 u.s news websites combined
00:16:15.120
so tiktok at least for young people is you know an order of magnitude more important than all of the
00:16:21.600
other news and since there's some worry that china pushed the heat button on the palestinian situation
00:16:31.440
there's no way to know uh do you think he is it's way too dangerous for this tiktok to be
00:16:37.920
hypnotizing everybody now none of it mattered until it until it was about israel okay we all see the same
00:16:44.160
thing right nobody gave a darn about tiktok until it was about israel and then israel changed our minds
00:16:52.800
on a dime when i say our minds i mean our congress if you have any question about who's controlling
00:16:58.160
congress uh it's either some combination of israel plus our uh uh our intelligence people but only for
00:17:07.680
the topics that are israel specific so i always like to make that distinction i i think that for
00:17:14.880
every topic there's some non-government entity or entities that are in charge and that the politicians
00:17:22.880
always have to bow to whatever that powerful force is if the story is about israel then the israel lobby
00:17:31.200
is the powerful one if the story is about some other topic there's some other group that's more
00:17:37.040
powerful you know if it's climate change or something like that so it's not true that the jews are
00:17:42.000
running the country what's more true is that there are certain topics that have certain interest groups
00:17:48.000
that care so much about it they put all their energy into it and they can control that
00:17:52.240
they can control part of it but certainly our foreign policy um you know as a foreign influence
00:17:59.360
i'm not sure that's bad it isn't necessarily bad it's just the way it is
00:18:05.040
um so yeah everything about that tiktok situation is suspicious my guess is that when it looked like
00:18:15.120
it was an option to just steal it from china and take it over that our intel people said go do it and
00:18:23.840
and israel was saying go do it so i think between the two of them you know if israel wanted it
00:18:29.680
and also our intelligence people wanted it it's going to happen right i feel those two forces will
00:18:37.760
be stronger than any other counter force so i think that's probably why it changed on a dime
00:18:44.000
scott galloway is uh sounding the alarm on our low birth uh rate i think he's got a new book out
00:18:51.520
uh was it some algebra or something anyway but it is one of his points is that the young people
00:19:01.920
are not wanting to reproduce and get married because life looks grim old people like me took all the
00:19:08.400
money and they can't get jobs can't build houses can't really get going climate change is going to kill them
00:19:15.440
all they think so we've destroyed the future of the country by making it you know worthless to uh to even try
00:19:28.080
and um you know tiktok may be part of that who knows but our u.s birth rate has gone to the lowest level
00:19:36.880
since 1979 failing to exceed replacement rates now i think we've been below replacement rates for a while
00:19:44.480
except for immigration so and at the same time one in four u.s adults uh 50 and older
00:19:55.040
don't think they'll ever be able to retire so quarter of old people don't think they'll ever be able to
00:20:00.320
retire and young people don't think that it's worth even trying at the same time i think there were
00:20:10.080
three or four separate headline stories about the greatness of masturbation i'm not making that up
00:20:17.360
i think the new york post had a story that it was good for your prostate and another one that billy eilish
00:20:24.240
famous singer says she's a great masturbator she's she got a phd in masturbating and then
00:20:31.600
uh i don't know i don't think it's i don't think it's an accident that masturbation is becoming a
00:20:35.840
gigantic topic at the same time that dating looks ridiculous because you know swiping left and right
00:20:42.080
doesn't work for most people anyway and uh people have become terrible and you can't can't have babies
00:20:47.280
and it all looks pretty grim but at least we got robots am i right robot babies i think people are
00:20:55.440
going to be raising robot babies um it does appear that we're going to give up on each other and find
00:21:03.200

00:22:07.280
play responsibly there is only one number i want to know to know if we're doomed
00:22:14.960
almost everything else we can figure out but there is one number i'm really worried about
00:22:24.080
and i've never heard it i've never heard anybody even suggest it it goes like this
00:22:28.800
what percentage would you have to cut government spending let's say this year and going forward
00:22:34.880
to have any chance of survival because of our debt to have any chance because if if the answer is five
00:22:44.000
percent i'm going to say oh well you know five percent cuts plus growth in the economy
00:22:52.160
hmm you know a little bit of inflation maybe we can get through this
00:22:56.640
if it's five percent if it's ten percent i start thinking whoa ten percent a year that's that's a
00:23:05.840
deep cut but if we've seen in argentina maybe it's possible argentina just went into a surplus
00:23:13.520
from huge deficit they just went into government surplus but we don't know if they'll have other
00:23:18.000
problems for from not having the government services but here's the thing what i worry about is that the
00:23:25.600
amount you'd have to cut government just to survive in just a math sense that the math doesn't work
00:23:33.200
unless you cut it this much i'm worried that the number is 75 percent
00:23:40.320
like literally that we would have to cut spending 75 like right away to have any chance of surviving
00:23:47.840
now if it's five percent or 75 percent normally i could make a guess about which one of those is
00:23:56.400
closer but i actually don't know do any of you know in a hypothetical sense if you if you assume some
00:24:04.880
normal gdp growth and you assume some normal inflation that we can handle how much would you have to cut
00:24:11.760
the budget right away and then each year after that if nobody can produce that number we're probably dead
00:24:22.480
if there's no economist who can even take a guess on that number
00:24:27.040
we're probably dead it's because nobody wants to tell you the real number
00:24:30.320
and when i'm when i say dead we'd still figure out a way to survive but we would have a gigantic
00:24:38.880
upheaval something like a great depression kind of a upheaval we'd probably get through it but we
00:24:44.320
wouldn't like it so here's what i think i think that here's how we survive you get a president trump
00:24:55.520
and he says here's what you need if you live in the traditional built-out places like a built-out city
00:25:04.640
you really don't have any chance of affording a home if you're young and there's too much crime and the traffic is bad
00:25:11.520
but if we build these new new cities using modern technology and make it affordable because we could do that now
00:25:21.200
we know how to build so that it would be affordable and so that you could get a job that you could afford
00:25:26.800
a home and you could raise children and it and it could be low crime and it could be no traffic
00:25:32.720
and we could build those and the building of them would become the gdp so you build the new cities that
00:25:40.400
boost your economy boost your taxes but the point of it is that when you go to live there your cost of
00:25:46.400
living would be so low because you built it correctly you designed it to be cost effective
00:25:52.160
you have a great quality of life no roommates you know not necessarily roommates just a great quality
00:25:58.400
of life and you'd have a job and everything work so you could create a situation where you built a city
00:26:06.080
where getting married and having a kid is just a terrific idea and everybody likes it and the schools are
00:26:11.680
you know not crazy and stuff so so you're so brainwashed with the 15 minute city stuff
00:26:20.480
really let me let me be as as blunt as i can if you're worried about the world economic forum and
00:26:28.080
your 15 minute cities and they take all your freedom you're dead because it's your only hope
00:26:35.040
i'm pretty sure let me say this directly as i can if we're not building new cities we're all
00:26:40.400
fucking dead so you need to lose your 15 minute city fear i'm not saying there's no risk i'm not
00:26:47.840
saying that it won't be used to grab control or whatever but if you have a republican administration
00:26:53.280
at least there's some chance you can build a city that's not designed as a prison for you and it might
00:26:58.960
actually give you freedom and stuff so you need to get off of this 15 minute this 15 minute city thing
00:27:05.920
world economic forum whatever that is that's stopping you from wanting to build a new city
00:27:11.200
you have to lose it you're fucking dead if you don't nobody even has an idea how to save a civilization
00:27:20.400
unless we build new affordable cities that solve all the problems that we have with our existing cities
00:27:26.480
you're gonna have to release on that now i i i get that it's a big risk but you can design you can
00:27:35.040
design that away you've got to release on it otherwise we're all dead
00:27:45.440
we're dead if you have another idea why don't you trot it out tell me your idea i just told you the
00:27:54.240
only way you can reduce cost enough to live while boosting the economy and surviving you tell me
00:28:01.520
your way to do it without building new cities i don't know if anyway so give me your idea don't
00:28:08.240
just tell me why my idea won't work if you do it wrong every idea won't work if you do it wrong
00:28:14.240
oh i want to build a new car with no wheels well that's that's not going to work no i don't want to
00:28:19.920
build it with no wheels i want to build it with wheels i want to build a city where where people
00:28:24.880
are free not where there are more slaves do you think that's possible it's possible but the alternatives
00:28:32.960
of course are that we all die so get over that well in the meantime um bat crazy women have done some
00:28:46.960
more to destroy civilization i saw a post by aaron sabarium saying that ucla's medical school's
00:28:55.280
mandatory health equity class teaches students that weight loss is a hopeless endeavor in quotes
00:29:03.440
ucla's medical school mandatory health equity class teaches students that weight loss is a hopeless endeavor
00:29:13.440
and that obesity is a slur used to exact violence on fat people now i don't see i don't need to see a
00:29:21.760
photograph to know that this is not fat men am i right this is not fat men behind this this is fat
00:29:30.240
crazy women there's no fat man who said no that it's hopeless to lose weight zero men were behind this
00:29:37.840
i don't need to see any facts you don't need to you don't need to show me the photograph no
00:29:43.120
fucking man says this this is batshit crazy women and we've got to stop them men you're gonna have to
00:29:52.240
do something to stop the batshit crazy women from running everything they're ruining everything
00:29:57.840
they're ruining everything and the problem is we can't talk about it honestly
00:30:06.960
being crazy is a real thing it's a medical problem we've got to stop treating craziness
00:30:15.520
as a political opinion it's not it's not a philosophy it's just batshit crazy stuff
00:30:21.520
all right elon musk says tesla should be valued as an ai robotics company not a car company
00:30:31.280
totally agree based on his estimate that they will sell way more robots and ai stuff than they
00:30:38.320
will ever sell in cars and i haven't seen the stock yet but i imagine it's going up
00:30:45.040
and i haven't heard yet if elon's going to leave tesla because he's not getting his pay package
00:30:51.680
when does musk find out if he gets his pay package reinstated the the 56 billion does he have an answer
00:30:58.400
on that yet or is that there's some vote that's coming up i'll check on that later all right
00:31:15.360
that uh johnson is like churchill so that mike johnson um there's sort of a churchillian
00:31:23.680
that's that's an actual headline on cnn now mike johnson is a republican leader
00:31:31.120
and cnn which never likes anything republican is calling him churchillian because he he passed the
00:31:38.480
ukrainian budgets and stuff and basically got both sides to do something hard during a wartime situation
00:31:45.040
so he's churchillian glenn greenwald comments on that he says uh joe biden and mike johnson united to
00:31:52.160
renew warrantless domestic spying then to spend a hundred billion to fuel endless war around the
00:31:57.840
world all of which johnson said he opposed and then greenwald says i don't know what the cia
00:32:04.080
said or did to mike johnson in the skiff but it really worked here's his reward
00:32:10.000
his reward and his reward being the headline that he's churchillian now do you buy that framing
00:32:18.080
from uh greenwald that it looks like some intelligence people got to him now you probably
00:32:25.840
heard that thomas massey said he was in the same skiff looking at the same stuff
00:32:30.720
and didn't see anything that would suggest that a change in policy
00:32:38.560
so what does that tell you it tells you it's not about any of the information
00:32:45.200
it tells you it's about people there must have been a person who talked to johnson because according
00:32:51.200
to thomas massey who doesn't seem to be a liar thomas massey seems to be a complete straight shooter as
00:32:57.840
far as far as i can tell he says i saw the same stuff and i didn't say anything would
00:33:02.480
you know change my opinion or anything but mike johnson did i don't think it was the data
00:33:09.280
i don't think it was the facts i think somebody talked to him i think it's exactly what it looks
00:33:14.720
like and uh greenwald seems to be on the same page christopher rufo no um meanwhile says that he's
00:33:23.840
getting information from other countries sources are telling him that uh npr ceo who used to be at
00:33:29.840
wiki media um katherine mayer mar she was allegedly affiliated with us intel and had something to do with
00:33:40.480
some kind of a government overthrow in a foreign country already so i think we we can't say that she
00:33:48.960
works for the cia but we can say that she has every single flag for being an intelligence asset that
00:33:56.880
you could ever have if she's not affiliated with us intel it would be shocking because every signal is
00:34:07.360
flashing in the same direction doesn't mean she is right you know i don't have you know personal knowledge
00:34:13.760
but from the you know news headline level of things that we know every signal flashing completely
00:34:22.160
intelligence agent which would which would tell you that our intelligence people do control the media
00:34:28.640
and this is how they do it they they just put their own assets in charge
00:34:34.240
or their own affiliated people in charge but at least our department of justice is working uh well
00:34:41.040
without any hiccups uh let's talk about the uh jack smith uh law fair prosecutions trying to put
00:34:49.200
trump in jail because uh you know because he's on the other team um so as far as i can tell
00:34:59.760
uh there were no crimes committed but the question is whether trump should have immunity
00:35:06.080
presidential immunity from the no crimes so here are the no crimes he once used the word find when talking
00:35:14.720
about uh auditing the vote so that's the first crime he used the word find so that people who were
00:35:23.040
idiots and criminals could say oh we define the word find to mean do something illegal you know a whole
00:35:30.800
whole new use of the word find so that's the first the first thing he did wrong is he used a word that
00:35:38.000
other people said was the wrong word so i guess that's illegal you go to jail for that um they say
00:35:44.640
that he knew the election was not rigged but he you know he acted he acted as if he didn't know and that
00:35:50.880
that would be bad so there's zero evidence that he didn't believe what he said which is he believed the
00:35:59.200
election was rigged no but there's not a single uh document there's not an allegation from anybody who
00:36:06.560
was on the inside there's not a statement a phone call a digital record an eyewitness to suggest
00:36:14.720
that trump thought anything but exactly what he said which is he didn't trust the election outcome
00:36:20.480
so that's his second crime his second crime is we're reading his mind and we're seeing something in
00:36:26.480
there that doesn't make sense according to anything in the outside world but we still see this weird
00:36:32.640
thing in there that doesn't make any sense so he got it he has to go to jail for that so he has to go
00:36:38.000
to jail for using a word in a normal way that other people have defined as a weird way no evidence of
00:36:46.480
knowing the wrong thing but they read his mind and they saw that against every piece of evidence in the
00:36:52.560
real world they could see something in there that was opposite all the evidence in the real world
00:36:59.200
and then the third thing he did which had to do with the the so-called fake slate of electors
00:37:05.680
is that he followed his lawyer's advice about how to keep his uh his legal options open which is the
00:37:13.760
so-called fake slate of electors who goes to jail for following their lawyer's advice
00:37:20.720
that this would be completely legal and constitutional do you go to jail for that
00:37:27.120
i mean i can imagine the ignorance of the law you know ignorance of the law is no excuse so in theory
00:37:33.840
you could but under this specific situation where there's no evidence that trump had any belief except
00:37:41.840
that the election was rigged and that he wanted to keep his options open and his lawyers told him that
00:37:47.440
this would be a way to do it within the law and then the the fact that the lawyers are being disbarred
00:37:55.520
and and punished suggests that they actually meant what they were doing because they did it right in
00:38:01.840
front of everybody so they must have believed they had a theory even if other people don't trust a
00:38:07.920
theory which is normal in the law so he used a word that they defined in a weird way they read his mind
00:38:16.080
to find another crime and then he followed his lawyer's advice to do something which historically
00:38:21.280
has been done before without problems it's not the first time it's done and they put all this all
00:38:28.240
together and decided that the real issue is whether he should be immune as a president
00:38:34.880
from the three things that weren't crimes in the first place now do you wonder if any law fair is
00:38:40.800
happening here no it is absolute criminal behavior jack smith should be in jail jack smith should be in jail
00:38:52.800
for this now do you suppose that the biden white house was coordinating any of these things which
00:39:01.120
would be terrible if they were well it turns out that some unsealed documents now show that
00:39:07.600
there was collaboration between the archives and the biden white house on the trump prosecution
00:39:14.800
and jeff clark is uh on on x he's mocking axios
00:39:19.920
uh because uh actually says they're zeroing in on matthew cola colangelo leaving the main justice to go to
00:39:30.240
work on the alvin bragg prosecution team so here's jeff clark characterizing that he says also try
00:39:37.360
harder axios this is a lame way of defending cola colangelo and the biden administration he goes
00:39:45.920
reality check former dog official michael zeldon told axios it's not unusual for a federal prosecutor
00:39:53.680
to leave a gig at the manhattan da's office so it's not unusual for somebody to leave a gig they're on
00:40:01.440
you know in the office to to work on let's say a hot case not unusual at all
00:40:07.680
colangelo colangelo colangelo is i'm being told that's how to say colangelo uh but jeff clark says
00:40:16.720
no it's not unusual for a southern uh district of new york or uh eastern district of new york prosecutor
00:40:25.680
to go to the manhattan da's office or vice versa yeah it's that's not unusual to go between those
00:40:31.920
new york state offices is that what happened something normal you just wouldn't be from one
00:40:39.520
new york state office to another no no that's not what happened he was the number three he was the
00:40:46.320
acting number three official at the main justice in washington dc and he went from the main justice
00:40:53.040
i.e working for the biden administration to all the way to the manhattan da's office
00:40:57.920
that's not usual that is your smoking gun that the biden administration was spearheading the law
00:41:08.320
fair against trump there it is it's right in front of us but what percentage of the general public
00:41:17.520
understands the story that i barely understand that i'm trying to tell you two two percent of the
00:41:25.600
entire republic no more than two percent the law fair is so complicated that the normal person just
00:41:33.680
says 91 indictments well he must have done something pretty bad but do you say but but but but can't you
00:41:41.760
see that the prosecutors were organized by biden it's a smoking gun it's really obvious i mean you
00:41:47.520
don't really you have to dig too deep to find out it's organized by the top that would obviously be a
00:41:52.720
corruption of the violence no at most two percent of the country cares about the story and would care
00:42:01.760
enough to understand the details of it it's really clever the government can get away with a lot just
00:42:09.040
by making everything too complicated to really follow what's going on it looks like that's what's happening
00:42:14.960
there um the arizona grand jury on wednesday they indicted uh let's see mark meadows rudy giuliani and a
00:42:28.800
bunch of other former trump staffers so now 11 arizona republicans have been indicted on the felony charges
00:42:37.840
along with former trump attorneys john eastman jan ellis christie bob and
00:42:46.160
allegations of conspiracy fraud and forgery so i think this had to do with
00:42:51.200
efforts to what they say overturn the results of the 2020 election
00:42:56.800
remember when i told you in 2020 that if biden were elected republicans would be
00:43:10.080
what is this this is exactly what i told you would happen that they're actually rounding up attorneys
00:43:17.120
and republican officials and trying to jail them for things that look pretty pretty suspicious
00:43:25.600
as in it looks like they were operating within the law as they saw it anyway
00:43:30.000
and this does look like just hunting i think all of these people belong in jail if there's any way to
00:43:39.840
do it not not the people who are indicted here i mean the people doing the law fair
00:43:45.200
and corrupting the justice system they all need to be in jail
00:43:50.960
big time uh jonathan turley was on fox news today and said that the best lawyer for trump is elvin bragg
00:44:00.080
because that manhattan case is so absurd that would be the stormy daniels one where he's being convicted for
00:44:08.880
a non-crime for the accounting after the fact of a non-crime like no we don't even understand it
00:44:18.240
it's so stupid you know they're felony they may then have two misdemeanors how does that even work
00:44:25.680
so but again i think you would have to be jonathan turley or in the top two percent of
00:44:32.640
people paying attention who can really follow details to even know that this case is ridiculous
00:44:40.720
all the public knows is that trump's uh in court try try asking any democrat to explain the details
00:44:48.080
of that case do you think you can do it i think they would immediately change the um the topic so
00:44:56.400
can you explain to me why trump is in jail for this stormy daniels thing well he paid hush money
00:45:02.640
okay but he's not being charged with paying hush money well he's uh indicted for 91 things well
00:45:09.600
no but that that's sort of overall could you tell me what the stormy thing is about well he lied he
00:45:16.800
lied on his uh how he accounted for it okay but are you following the details that there wasn't any way
00:45:24.480
to do it legally he couldn't call it a personal expense because that would be illegal and he couldn't
00:45:28.800
call it a business a campaign expense because that would be called illegal and those are the only
00:45:33.520
options so he basically had two ways to account for the legal thing and both of the ways to account
00:45:39.040
for the legal thing would have been illegal so there wasn't even any legal way to pay his taxes
00:45:46.560
or to account for it now do you think any do you think any democrat even understands that none of this
00:45:52.960
is even doesn't even make sense is just absurd of course not they just see he's in court every day
00:46:01.920
and that's all biden needs all right uh two-thirds of people according to axios what they call the
00:46:10.160
vibe check they say that uh um two-thirds of americans said illegal immigration is a real crisis and not a
00:46:20.080
politically driven media narrative two-thirds of the country believes that biden has created a crisis
00:46:28.480
at the border two-thirds so there's one thing we could say from that i mean it's a top priority two-thirds
00:46:36.480
think that it's biden's fault you know that he's creating it you can stop at any time he wants presumably
00:46:42.720
uh so i mean that's pretty strong evidence that the polling i mean you'd guess that the polling
00:46:49.920
would be what trump plus 20 probably at least plus 20 under this environment i think yeah uh what else
00:47:05.920
half of the people uh half of americans uh polled said they support mass deportations of undocumented
00:47:13.200
immigrants well i mean you're just talking about the republicans right oh no 42 percent of democrats
00:47:20.240
are in favor of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants according to the axios vibes survey by the
00:47:27.920
harris poll 42 percent of democrats support mass deportation wow i mean with numbers like that
00:47:42.480
there's one thing you can say for sure trump and the in the overall polls he's got to be up
00:47:49.600
20 to 30 points i would think over biden i mean with with that massive amount of support for what is
00:47:56.800
not just not just trump's policy but really his brand i mean his whole brand is is this and even 42 percent
00:48:05.920
of democrats are totally on board with it so yeah i would say that trump in the national polls would be
00:48:12.480
up 20 to 30 points under this environment wouldn't you say i mean common sense he'd be up 20 to 30 points
00:48:20.880
so let's see what else well biden has suggested a gigantic uh tax increase
00:48:30.880
and some ridiculous increases in capital gains that are so stupid i'm not even going to talk about them
00:48:36.720
they're so ridiculous now now when you add this to the border crisis that during a presidential year
00:48:44.880
one of them is talking about massively raising your taxes
00:48:51.840
so i mean if you put this together with how unpopular biden's border policy is
00:48:57.760
and the fact that the ukraine war is you know not super popular i think you'd have to say that
00:49:03.280
president trump or ex-president trump would be up 30 probably 30 to 40 points in the national poll
00:49:10.640
i mean based on this wouldn't you agree i mean these numbers are really really just absolutely
00:49:23.360
so uh then rasmussen said that 56 percent they did a poll 56 percent of voters agreed with a statement
00:49:31.040
that with president trump we had mean tweets but world peace
00:49:34.160
so 56 percent would prefer president trump's mean tweets because it gave the world well okay
00:49:44.720
so now trump is massively leading on the border crisis he is massively ahead of course on taxes
00:49:52.480
because nobody wants higher taxes and of course he's massively ahead on world peace well i mean that's
00:49:58.320
the end i mean with that kind of a lead i think it's pretty obvious
00:50:04.160
that if we check the polls trump would be up i started with 20 percent but when you see all of
00:50:10.480
these issues when you see the individual polling on all these issues i'd say the national polls
00:50:16.880
trump would be up 40 to 50 basis points minimum
00:50:24.160
so next story oh here's another one um all right well
00:50:30.240
so the next story is that the uh biden has pulled ahead in the polling yeah biden has pulled ahead at a
00:50:38.560
national so the marist poll and uh i know there's another one uh he's pulled that so that's true right
00:50:49.440
so on every single sub question of policy trump doesn't just win he annihilates him
00:51:00.240
but at the top level biden has pulled ahead he's actually got momentum
00:51:10.320
so that's right the only news that uh biden made yesterday was that he wants to massively increase
00:51:20.560
taxes in a way that appears stupid to anybody smart and he read his teleprompter including the word
00:51:29.360
pause because he didn't know that was a command to pause and wait for the audience reaction
00:51:37.280
that's the only news he made so that's why he's pulling ahead in the polls
00:51:50.160
uh we're also told uh in the news that the rfk junior candidacy hurts trump more than biden
00:52:00.800
it hurts trump more than biden that's what the news says do you believe that that the rfk junior
00:52:07.520
thing hurt because i've heard the opposite but now the news is saying no we looked at a little more
00:52:12.560
closely it turns out the rfk junior thing is hurting trump more do you know how you know that's true
00:52:19.680
do you know how the how you know that the democrats believe that rfk junior is hurting trump more than
00:52:26.720
biden well it's obvious because that's why um they won't give uh secret service protection to rfk
00:52:34.240
jr and it's why they're trying to keep him off the ballot in all the states
00:52:40.560
because if he gets murdered or he gets off the ballot
00:52:45.040
wait that's the opposite of what they want no the news is telling me
00:52:52.160
that rfk junior hurts trump and yet the democrats are trying to get rid of rfk junior either through
00:52:59.680
assassination or keeping off the ballot even though if he lived and was on the ballot it would be good
00:53:07.280
for biden according to the news it's almost like the news isn't real i'm starting to think the news is fake
00:53:17.520
by the way jarek lubaric made that observation that their policies definitely show they don't want rfk
00:53:25.120
jr in the race they definitely don't so yeah i think our polling is a little wonky at the moment
00:53:35.680
thomas massey posted today the republic is in trouble because congress is full of people who
00:53:40.880
are happy to rubber stamp whatever the pentagon state department dog fbi feds want most are not
00:53:47.040
compromised or bribed i think he's right on that they're just going along to get along as long as the
00:53:52.560
you re-elect them and let them wear the pin and wear the pin i think it's the ukraine pin
00:54:00.480
i agree with this i think that we have a zombie government and we're driving toward a cliff with our
00:54:08.560
debt everything else we can survive can't survive the debt so they get the zombie car driving toward the
00:54:16.640
cliff and there's absolutely nothing that's going to change the direction and thomas massey's in the
00:54:22.160
middle of it and he's telling you there's nothing happening that will change the direction of the car
00:54:28.960
do you know what would change it if somebody had a number of how much you could cut the budget
00:54:35.200
to save us all and that number was believable and low enough
00:54:42.240
if trump or maybe uh vivek with a you know with a boost could come up with that number
00:54:48.160
it's the only number that matters there's one number that you need to know it's that number
00:54:58.640
nobody has ever tried to produce it or even estimate it why is that
00:55:06.880
yeah i think the number is so big it's shocking if they told you how much they had to reduce the uh
00:55:12.560
uh the debt i think you would see it can't be done and that's why they don't tell you i think you would
00:55:18.960
give up and i think that's what thomas massey is saying directly there's nothing that's going to keep
00:55:25.280
the clown car from going off the cliff and there's nothing developing that would stop it
00:55:29.920
because you don't see trump saying if i get elected i'll cut the budget by enough to fix the debt
00:55:39.040
you don't see him saying it and you know that they're smart enough at least now with vivek on the
00:55:46.960
case and by the way look let me say this directly vivek if there is a number that would work you know
00:55:54.000
even if it's an argentina like gigantic number we need to hear it you know win or lose we need to know
00:56:02.080
the number we need to know if we have a fighting chance you know just just give us some hope tell us
00:56:10.880
the number and then tell us trump's going to hit it i just want to hear that he's got a shot at it
00:56:17.040
i i just want to feel we we have any chance of survival
00:56:23.280
because that's missing we are literally heading toward extinction birth rate wise immigration wise
00:56:33.040
and debt wise we're heading toward distinct extinction and none of the people running
00:56:38.640
are giving you anything that looks like a plan to avoid extinction
00:56:42.080
i don't think it's too much to ask our potential and actual leaders to give us a plan
00:56:50.240
that would give us any hope we could avoid extinction that's not a lot to ask and if peter if uh if we
00:56:59.280
can't get it from trump well then we're just dead because we're not going to get it from biden
00:57:04.640
so give us some hope vivek you're the only one you know that's true right that there's literally
00:57:17.040
it's the spider-man problem spider-man problem the spider-man problem is that with great power comes
00:57:24.000
great responsibility tell me one other person in uh in politics who could give you the number
00:57:31.280
and sell it all right this is what we got to do to cut the government we just have to do it it's going
00:57:38.800
to hurt we got to do it vivek give us the number and if it's completely impractical tell us what you're
00:57:48.480
going to do about it tell us how to make it practical you you don't have to be right you know the world is a
00:57:55.920
complicated place you can't always predict the future but give us some hope give us some hope
00:58:02.880
because the news is not doing it and i don't see trump doing it i think the democrats are correct
00:58:09.280
when they say that trump is being non-specific about what he do i think he can get away with it
00:58:15.200
because you know how he operates so if trump doesn't tell you what he would do with gaza
00:58:20.560
is that a feature or a problem we don't know what trump would do about israel and gaza i don't know
00:58:29.520
is that a feature or a problem it's a feature yeah the last thing i want is for trump to tell me what
00:58:38.160
he would do because he what he sells is unpredictability followed by good negotiated outcomes
00:58:47.120
that's what he's selling i'll give you unpredictability followed by negotiating something
00:58:52.400
you won't be too unhappy about it's a feature so stop asking him to be specific about uh israel
00:59:00.880
because being unspecific is exactly the right play until he gets there until he's got the you know the
00:59:07.360
the levers of power in his hands you don't get too serious about the details
00:59:12.080
but when it comes to national debt i need a plan right the national debt that i don't need unpredictability
00:59:25.600
and i don't need trump to do what he's done before which is run up the debt
00:59:30.400
so you can't tell me oh trust trump because you know what he does no he runs up the debt
00:59:34.880
now you'd better tell me something besides that and i need to hear it first in fact let me i'll be
00:59:42.480
this specific if biden came up with a plan to fix the debt that sounded workable i would back him
00:59:52.080
because it's the only thing i care about but we're i mean i'll probably vote on the january 6 prisoners
00:59:58.080
more than anything but that that assumes neither of them has a plan for the debt
01:00:03.040
but if somebody comes up with a debt plan you own me if you come up with a real plan to own the debt
01:00:11.600
i'm on board i'm on board so let's see if that's even possible if we're doomed i'd like to find out
01:00:19.920
sooner than later i'd like to adjust yeah give it give me a little time to you know get my food
01:00:26.560
supplies in and get my get my seed sprouter working
01:00:32.640
all right i had one other thing i reminded myself to talk about um but i already did so that's good
01:00:42.960
um i think what's going to happen is a major shift in society
01:00:47.040
i don't know what will trigger it but it's it's guaranteed to happen i think our old method of
01:00:54.400
you know you get a job you buy a house you retire at 65 you know after you had your two and a half kids
01:01:00.240
that might be gone forever i think it might be a mistake to try to get back to it i hate to say
01:01:08.320
um certainly for some people the family situation is going to be the the number one thing forever
01:01:14.080
but there's a whole bunch of people who just need some other way of living and it could be robots
01:01:20.880
it could be combinations of i i think what we need is engineered
01:01:26.400
lifestyle now there's a phrase i doubt you've ever heard engineered lifestyle here's what i mean by that
01:01:33.840
i like to use my college dormitory experience when i live when i lived in a college dormitory it was the
01:01:41.440
lowest quality of life because i was just in a little cinder block room with another person
01:01:46.800
my roommate and it's the sort of the lowest level of privacy the lowest level of space
01:01:56.080
but i was the happiest it's because they engine they engineered the lifestyle as soon as i opened
01:02:02.880
the door and walked out there would be uh people my age fun people there'd be girls that i was interested
01:02:10.400
in you know i would go to classes it was a nice environment i could walk to everything i didn't need a
01:02:16.320
car on campus the food was provided at a place where everybody else went so i'd see everybody else
01:02:22.160
when i went to check my mailbox other people would be checking the mailbox so i could interact with them
01:02:27.440
we had parties we had organizations on campus where we'd all get together it was an engineered
01:02:33.200
lifestyle so i'd be getting something productive done i was learning you know preparing myself for life
01:02:41.360
but during the entire process every moment was pretty cool because i was around other people
01:02:46.960
i wanted to be around in a physical environment that was beautiful and everything was taken care of
01:02:52.800
from the it was easy to do the laundry just everything was easy now if you build your new
01:02:58.720
city from scratch to maximize lifestyle you're going to get an amazing result we know we can do it
01:03:06.800
that's what college is it's a perfect lifestyle for a while so i think that's the answer to everything
01:03:14.480
the answer to everything is engineered lifestyle so you put people in proximity who can take care of
01:03:19.920
each other how would you like to always know that somebody had your back in a tribal sense oh let me ask you
01:03:28.480
this for the people on locals who have already seen my explanation about concentrating on yourself and mental
01:03:36.400
illness do you think that's worth saying to the larger crowd here it's a little speculative well
01:03:42.880
i think i'll do it so here's something i said privately to the uh local subscribers but i want to just put
01:03:49.600
this out here just for fun don't take this too literally scientifically because i don't have any scientific
01:03:58.960
backing for it but one of the things i hear a lot is that you can identify people who have mental
01:04:04.320
illness is by how much they refer to themselves versus how much they refer to the external environment
01:04:10.480
and other people have you all heard that it's sort of a common thing i see on social media that some
01:04:17.200
expert will say yes we did a study and if you look at people's writing and social media when they're doing
01:04:23.360
a lot of self-referential stuff they usually test out with mental illness and if they're talking about
01:04:29.600
the external world they're usually much more mentally insane now one of the things i realized
01:04:36.240
is that most we've got this giant uptick in mental illness what do a lot of the mental illness categories
01:04:44.720
have in common they're all self-referential meaning if i have anxiety i'm just thinking about myself
01:04:54.560
something's going to happen to me i'm in trouble things are going to happen to me
01:04:57.760
it's about me me me if you're a narcissist it's literally a thing about yourself if you're a
01:05:04.640
sociopath it's literally all about you if you're depressed it's literally all about you because
01:05:12.880
you have this horrible feeling you're not really thinking about the rest of the world
01:05:16.080
you're thinking about how bad you feel and so i put forward the following hypothesis
01:05:20.720
we know that mental health went to hell when social media got bigger so there's a pretty direct line
01:05:31.200
to smartphones and social media and mental health going bad what does social media do
01:05:39.040
at a sort of macro level i think it makes you think of yourself the one thing that social media does
01:05:46.400
is make you think of yourself now you're thinking of yourself in relationship to the other people
01:05:51.360
you're seeing but those other people are not in your tribe or your family so you don't get any benefits
01:05:57.760
from them so in other words there's no social benefit like you get in the real world but they make
01:06:03.600
you think what can i do where i could be like them wait where's my tick tock dance so i think i think
01:06:11.600
social media has the impact of forcing people to think more internally about how to act differently
01:06:19.040
to be like the people on social media now in in some ways you're saying but isn't that thinking
01:06:25.440
about the other people yes but not in the good way thinking about other people in the good way is how
01:06:33.040
can i make somebody else happier how can i make my spouse happier how can i help my kids how can i help my
01:06:39.440
friends how can i help my co-workers that's the good way if what you're thinking is how can i compete
01:06:45.200
with them because they're prettier than me i've got to do something for me to make me as pretty as the
01:06:50.400
other that's thinking about yourself and so i i submit to you the following experiment which would cost you
01:06:57.280
nothing see if you're having any of these mental difficulties and you've not found any relief through all the
01:07:05.280
normal mechanisms try focusing less on yourself and see if the cause and effect goes both ways because
01:07:17.520
i do think that if you have mental illness it's going to make you think of yourself because you
01:07:21.440
got a problem you have to solve so it makes sense that it works that direction being unhealthy makes
01:07:27.360
you think of yourself because you need to fix yourself that makes sense but could it also be true
01:07:32.240
that if you could force yourself by creating a system or a habit of making sure you did something
01:07:38.080
for other people you volunteer you you help somebody every um it's charity it's something it's just
01:07:45.760
something external if you did that could you reverse some of your own mental illness
01:07:53.760
and that's what i don't know so it's just speculation but if you look at the fact that we don't know the
01:07:59.680
mechanism by which these smartphones and and social media are destroying our mental health i would
01:08:05.520
suggest the mechanism might be obvious it makes you think of yourself and when you feel lonely now here's
01:08:13.120
here's the real speculative theory behind it i'm going to give you a hypothesis for why thinking about
01:08:20.560
yourself makes you crazy in a variety of mental health ways i think that we evolved to be social
01:08:29.040
creatures and that who we are is oh in the past was an extension of our tribal and family feelings
01:08:37.760
so that we we we defined ourselves as as part of the tribe so that gave you meaning it gave you a place
01:08:47.680
and it you know connected you to this bigger thing i think that when you're forced to think of yourself
01:08:54.640
you are removed from your evolutionary biological most basic need which you evolve to which is to have a
01:09:03.360
tribal very dependent connected situation in your life and that as soon as you think of yourself as a free
01:09:10.640
agent floating around without a family and without a tribe you go crazy you go crazy and you notice that
01:09:20.320
the effect seems much worse for women right do you have a hypothesis for why it would be worse for women
01:09:29.360
i do because i think women need that connection more than men because men are we've evolved to be
01:09:38.240
expendable we've evolved to go live in the woods if we have to we've evolved to be individuals we don't
01:09:46.560
necessarily love it but we're a little more adapted to it you know we can make it work a little bit
01:09:52.800
better so i think everything is consistent with the fact that loneliness but more specifically thinking
01:10:01.520
about yourself is what makes you crazy because nothing else really changed except maybe you know
01:10:09.040
vaccinations but that came later food supply probably didn't change that much during that period
01:10:15.760
the only thing that changed a lot was social media and phones and you can explain perfectly everything
01:10:22.000
you see by this hypothesis it would show you why women are having a harder time than men it would show
01:10:28.880
you the exact timing of it and it would explain the thinking about yourself thing makes you crazy
01:10:36.080
thinking about others doesn't it basically integrates everything we observe into one hypothesis
01:10:42.480
things but here's the cool thing you don't have to wait to find out if it's true you could literally
01:10:49.600
just say why don't i spend a month trying to force myself to think externally just see what happens
01:10:56.960
my guess is that you would be happier does anybody doubt it is there anybody who thinks that they would be
01:11:05.680
less happy if they found some meaning in making other people better off
01:11:13.760
i i think you all know that it would work and that ladies and gentlemen is my contribution to
01:11:19.120
civilization that's your your upbeat thought about this i do think we can engineer ourselves out of all
01:11:24.800
of our problems but we won't do it with the president biden we won't do it with president biden
01:11:32.240
so we got to fix that first and republicans need to stay in the jail and they got to put the bad guys
01:11:38.240
in jail so as long as the good guys are going to jail and the bad guys are putting them in jail we
01:11:43.200
really don't have a way to survive you got to fix that first so there's a whole bunch of democrats
01:11:49.520
who need to be behind bars and the only way to do that is to get a republican leadership in there
01:11:56.400
now um i don't think we should have a republican leadership forever i kind of like the idea of
01:12:02.000
maybe it goes back and forth a little bit keeps everybody honest but at the moment we desperately
01:12:08.400
need a republican leadership now that the the pendulum is just way out of balance you know it needs to
01:12:16.000
find the center somehow so even if you don't love the idea of a republican leadership forever i don't
01:12:23.360
i i don't want either side to have too much power for too long i really want it now though i really
01:12:30.160
really really want a republican now ask me again in five years i'll tell you well it's a little too much
01:12:36.640
we went a little too republican there maybe i don't know but um i know your mileage might be different
01:12:44.480
all right that's all i got for you today i'm going to say goodbye probably to all of the platforms
01:12:49.680
but i'm going to see if we've got this feature fixed yet where i can say goodbye to only the people who
01:12:56.320
are not my subscribers so we're going to try this button again see if it makes any difference didn't work
