Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2503 CWSA 06⧸12⧸24

00:00:00.420 They've corrected that glitch, so it should be available next week.

00:00:04.080 Meaning if you order it today, you'll get it next week.

00:00:07.820 So God's Debris is destroying its competition in all of its categories on Amazon.

00:00:13.800 The book that will last forever.

00:00:16.040 Well, is everybody here?

00:00:17.540 Looks like we got everybody.

00:00:18.580 Let me make sure my beloved members of Locals are here.

00:00:27.160 There they are.

00:00:30.000 Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams,

00:00:42.500 the highlight of human civilization and possibly some other civilizations.

00:00:46.440 I think there are some other dimensions, but they're probably enjoying it, too.

00:00:50.980 And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand

00:00:55.240 with a tiny, human, smooth human brain,

00:00:57.740 all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice,

00:01:00.780 a stein, a canteen, jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:03.800 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:04.900 I like coffee.

00:01:06.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

00:01:11.280 I think it makes everything better.

00:01:12.220 It's called the Simultaneous Sip of the Amos.

00:01:13.680 Now go.

00:01:14.280 That really does start off the day, right?

00:01:23.240 Well, if you're subscribing to Dilbert, either on X or on Locals,

00:01:31.300 you would see that you'd see both the digital calendar that exists only in digital form this year.

00:01:37.400 Next year it'll be paper, by the way.

00:01:38.840 I'll announce that later.

00:01:41.580 But you would see two of my finest jokes at the same day.

00:01:45.600 I rarely laugh out loud when I look at my own comic.

00:01:50.540 It happens.

00:01:51.900 But today I laughed out loud at both of them,

00:01:54.260 both the one I wrote 10 years ago and the one that's brand new today.

00:01:58.560 So you're going to like it.

00:02:00.660 Well, Apple was zooming up on the stock market yesterday,

00:02:03.860 I think on the backs of their announcements about things.

00:02:09.100 And I'm not so surprised.

00:02:11.860 Not so surprised.

00:02:13.200 Because when I first heard what, you know, what Apple was doing,

00:02:16.880 and then Elon Musk had his issues with it,

00:02:20.380 I said to myself, ah, you know, it looks like a swing and a miss.

00:02:24.480 But then I started looking at the things that the AI added to the Apple phone would do for me.

00:02:30.280 And I immediately knew that I was trapped.

00:02:33.860 There was nowhere I was going.

00:02:36.220 I am going to use that phone.

00:02:38.240 I am definitely going to upgrade.

00:02:40.400 And I wouldn't be able to live without the upgrade.

00:02:43.140 Because the things it's adding are things I really, really, really wanted to do.

00:02:47.720 And I've always wanted to do.

00:02:49.860 So I think other people probably have the same gut feeling.

00:02:55.800 So if you look at it analytically, it's hard to understand Apple.

00:02:59.820 But if you feel it, you can predict Apple.

00:03:03.380 And I've always had the feeling that I couldn't escape and I'm definitely going to upgrade.

00:03:09.360 You know, that's just free money for Apple.

00:03:11.200 I thought I might lose it on this upgrade.

00:03:14.560 But nope.

00:03:15.640 Nope.

00:03:16.200 That same irrational thing that says I must have this product.

00:03:19.420 It's the most important thing in my life.

00:03:21.620 It kicked in again.

00:03:23.280 Apple is so, so good at the persuasion part of the business.

00:03:28.860 It's crazy.

00:03:29.360 And probably the tech is good.

00:03:32.240 We're all concerned about Elon Musk's comment that it might be a hit on your privacy.

00:03:36.960 But I surrendered probably 25 years ago to a lack of privacy.

00:03:44.960 And in a way, I'm like the canary in the coal mine for the rest of you.

00:03:48.700 You can see what it's like to live with the presumption of no privacy ever.

00:03:53.460 Meaning that I live my life like all my messages are public and have for decades.

00:04:01.800 And it's the only way I can keep peace of mind.

00:04:05.160 Because I know as a public figure, everything I do is public.

00:04:09.260 Here's what happens when you're a public figure.

00:04:12.940 If you're not a public figure and you send a spicy message to your friend,

00:04:17.380 your friend will go, ah, that's a spicy message.

00:04:20.300 Might even send one back.

00:04:22.160 And that's it.

00:04:23.460 If you're famous and you send a spicy message to somebody, they're going to show all their friends.

00:04:30.740 Hey, I got a spicy message from a famous person.

00:04:33.660 And then everybody knows.

00:04:35.280 So there's no such thing as a private message once you're a public figure.

00:04:39.560 It's just, it's a total fantasy.

00:04:41.600 So once I came to grips with the fact that as a public figure, you don't really have any privacy.

00:04:47.580 And you also assume that anybody who's on the inside of any entity that you apply to, you know, in other words,

00:04:55.360 if I've got an account for any kind of service or app, I assume they're all over my business just because they can be.

00:05:03.140 So I live my life like, well, here it is, you know, if you don't like it, there's nothing that I don't think there's anything that could ever come out that I would do anything except shrug if it became a public matter.

00:05:16.440 I think, I think, I couldn't be surprised.

00:05:20.800 Well, people are talking about the new Star Wars movie.

00:05:23.200 I saw the best insult.

00:05:25.160 So the new movie is called The Acolyte.

00:05:26.820 And somebody said it was so bad, it ruins the originals.

00:05:33.460 It's so bad, it ruins things that have already happened in history, the first three.

00:05:39.020 And they mean it.

00:05:40.440 Like, there's actually a reason behind that.

00:05:42.420 Because the new ones changed some of the mythology and narrative of the old ones, but not in a way that people liked.

00:05:50.440 So I haven't seen it, but somebody said, you know, something about the force is no longer magical and Anakin's no longer special and, you know, just everything.

00:06:00.800 The things you assumed about the originals just stopped being true.

00:06:04.380 But the best part, I don't know if this is true, but I'll call this a recreational belief on my part.

00:06:12.780 I made no effort to find out if this is true because it's funny.

00:06:16.740 So I'm going to treat it as a recreational belief, meaning, I don't know if it's true.

00:06:22.080 I don't know.

00:06:22.920 But somebody said in the movie, somebody said that in the movie, lesbians can use the force to have babies without men. 1.00

00:06:32.260 Now, that's probably not exactly what the movie is.

00:06:36.020 But as a recreational belief, yeah, I'm going to accept that.

00:06:40.300 That in the new movie, they use the force so that lesbians can have babies without men. 1.00

00:06:45.420 Probably not true.

00:06:46.740 Probably the plot has nothing to do with that, but it's sort of, it's funny.

00:06:52.780 How many of you saw Kevin Spacey appearing on Piers Morgan and talking about his, what he would say was accidental and minimal contact with Jeffrey Epstein?

00:07:04.960 So his story is that indeed he was on flights with Epstein, but he said it was in the context of Clinton charitable stuff.

00:07:17.480 So he was just a person using a plane, as others were, in the service of charity.

00:07:23.960 He says that he didn't know who Epstein was back in those days, and that he's pretty sure that Epstein was on the plane some of those times.

00:07:36.700 So he's confirmed that's true.

00:07:38.200 But he didn't really know anything about Epstein or even have any contact with him.

00:07:43.880 Now, how many of you have ever been on a private jet?

00:07:49.420 Private jet, how many of you?

00:07:52.440 And how many of you have been on a private jet with the owner of the private jet?

00:07:58.800 Some of you.

00:07:59.480 If you've never experienced it, I don't really think it's a thing that you fly on a private jet with the person who owns the jet, and he doesn't introduce himself.

00:08:11.660 I don't think that's a thing.

00:08:14.740 Now, I don't know how many people are on the jet, but I feel like if I'm Epstein and my whole job is connecting, imagine, just put yourself in this position.

00:08:25.020 Imagine you own the jet, you're on the jet, and one of the other people on the jet is Kevin Spacey at the top of his fame.

00:08:37.520 And as the owner of the jet, it never occurred to you to get up and introduce yourself to one of the most famous actors in the world who's on your jet 20 feet away from you and absolutely would want to say hi to you because you own the jet.

00:08:51.620 And that never happened.

00:08:52.720 Well, I don't know what's true and what isn't.

00:08:55.780 I will tell you that it looked to me like he was lying the whole way through, and I base that on body language and the way he acted.

00:09:04.680 Now, that doesn't mean he did any crimes, so I want to be very clear.

00:09:09.720 I'm not accusing him of anything, but it looked like he was selling a narrative because maybe the truth didn't defend him as well as it could have or should have.

00:09:21.560 So I'm not saying he did anything wrong.

00:09:23.880 I personally have no information about that.

00:09:27.200 But he sure didn't look honest, and it could be an actor thing.

00:09:33.140 You know, I feel like if you're a professional actor at that level,

00:09:37.840 that difference between acting and telling the truth gets a little murky.

00:09:44.600 So when I saw him trying to tell the truth, he looked like he was acting to me.

00:09:50.100 But the problem is actors might look like they're acting when they're telling the truth sometimes if they're really trying to sell the truth because it matters to them.

00:09:58.700 So I don't know how to judge it.

00:10:00.460 It looked like not the truth.

00:10:02.080 It looked like acting.

00:10:03.100 But it could be the truth.

00:10:06.020 I mean, it'd be a weird truth.

00:10:07.320 Hard to believe.

00:10:08.580 Who knows?

00:10:09.620 It's a weird world.

00:10:12.560 Well, the lefties, the Democrats, are trying to warn the world that if Trump gets him back, he's going to get his retribution.

00:10:22.540 You know, Bolton is warning.

00:10:24.100 You're not.

00:10:25.000 John Bolton is saying you're not worried enough about his revenge.

00:10:28.140 And all the left-leaning publications are saying, yes, Trump is going to come and get revenge.

00:10:36.640 And I guess AOC and Racial Madnow believe that he might try to round him up and put him in prison camps because that's what he does.

00:10:47.480 As if that's even slightly likely.

00:10:50.460 All right.

00:10:50.920 But here's what I want to say.

00:10:52.980 I posted this.

00:10:54.080 I'll just read it to you.

00:10:54.980 And here's my take on will Trump get revenge?

00:10:59.320 Number one, revenge is what holds civilization together.

00:11:02.840 Why is revenge getting a bad name?

00:11:05.920 Revenge is the only thing that holds civilization together.

00:11:09.520 Do you know why?

00:11:11.140 If you hurt my family, I'm going to get revenge.

00:11:14.940 That's it.

00:11:16.900 That's the entire glue of civilization is revenge.

00:11:21.620 Now, we like to use other words for it.

00:11:23.560 Oh, we're going to have it processed through the justice system. 0.59

00:11:28.480 Oh, this is the way to set things right.

00:11:31.280 We got some justice.

00:11:33.100 No, it's revenge.

00:11:34.560 It's all revenge.

00:11:35.600 You can change the name. 0.98

00:11:36.940 It's so that anybody who fucks with us knows that we're coming for them. 0.70

00:11:41.180 Nothing works unless you have that working. 0.95

00:11:43.940 Your entire social structure depends on revenge specifically and more than just about anything else.

00:11:52.540 So, it's essential to collective survival.

00:11:58.500 So, let me say it clearly.

00:12:00.220 If you lawfare Trump and you hunt Republicans, someone is coming for you.

00:12:03.720 If you lawfare Trump and you hunt Republicans, both of which are obviously in evidence, someone's coming for you, guaranteed.

00:12:16.540 And there's no free passes.

00:12:18.640 Now, you can call it revenge if you want.

00:12:20.480 I can call it justice if I want to feel good about it.

00:12:23.080 But the thing is that whatever you call it, it's still going to happen.

00:12:27.860 You get that, right?

00:12:29.680 You can say that, let's say, take Israel.

00:12:32.640 You can say, oh, Israel is doing a genocide.

00:12:35.540 Somebody else can say, oh, Israel is defending itself.

00:12:39.140 I don't care what you call it.

00:12:41.200 You're still going to watch it happen. 0.99

00:12:42.700 And there's nothing you can fucking do about it. 0.98

00:12:45.680 Do you know why? 0.98

00:12:47.020 Because revenge keeps the world together.

00:12:51.320 Short of that, we'd all be dead from natural causes and, I guess, getting robbed by bad people.

00:13:00.660 So, importantly, but here's the thing that they miss and Republicans need to say every time.

00:13:05.860 Republicans' revenge, or you could call it justice, has to be 100% legal.

00:13:12.840 And it has to be within the constitutional requirements.

00:13:16.180 Why?

00:13:17.280 Because that's who Republicans are.

00:13:19.720 It's an identity.

00:13:21.660 The Republican identity is adherence to the Constitution because it's the only thing that keeps us from being savages.

00:13:30.260 And they know that.

00:13:31.380 So, even with its flaws, Republicans are absolutely wed to the Constitution.

00:13:38.280 It's just in their DNA at this point.

00:13:40.500 It's just the most basic part of their nature.

00:13:44.200 And I would go further.

00:13:45.820 You know, I see that Trump gets a lot of character hits.

00:13:51.640 The people who don't want to support him say, well, his character.

00:13:54.740 He can have a character like that.

00:13:57.000 Let me explain to people who are not understanding why Trump has so much support.

00:14:02.000 Despite what you think is his bad character in some domains.

00:14:06.460 The only character that Republicans really care about is, what do you think about the Constitution?

00:14:12.780 And if you like God, that's a plus.

00:14:15.400 But really, I think Republicans would elect.

00:14:19.620 I think that Republicans could elect an atheist.

00:14:23.080 They wouldn't want to.

00:14:24.220 But it's within their ability if said atheist said, hey, you know what?

00:14:29.460 The best possible thing under our constitutional system is to have a president who doesn't play favorites with religion.

00:14:36.520 And by the way, I do understand it's a Christian, let's say, influenced process.

00:14:41.240 And we don't want to change that unless we have a really good reason.

00:14:44.460 And I don't see one.

00:14:45.160 If you said that, Christians would say, oh, well, I would really prefer you are a Christian. 0.77

00:14:51.640 But you just said everything I want to hear.

00:14:54.080 You're going to adhere to the Constitution, which was created by people who had at least Christian influence.

00:15:00.380 And that's good enough.

00:15:02.080 Because there's no Christian that says you have to change.

00:15:05.720 There's no Christian in the United States that says you must change to be a Christian.

00:15:09.440 They don't require that.

00:15:11.120 They just require you don't mess with them.

00:15:13.020 Let them live their lives.

00:15:14.560 So as long as your president has one character, let's say, quality, which is an absolute devotion to the Constitution and the country, you're good.

00:15:29.040 You're good.

00:15:29.620 So you don't have to be surprised when a Republican or anybody else supports Trump.

00:15:36.380 It's simply that we think the character that matters in this case is Constitution.

00:15:41.860 What do you think of that?

00:15:43.060 Yes, we're good.

00:15:45.140 What do you do with women? 1.00

00:15:46.860 I don't care. 0.99

00:15:48.320 I don't care what your genitalia is doing. 1.00

00:15:51.400 I really don't. 0.98

00:15:54.020 And I don't really care what column you mark something down.

00:15:56.840 As long as you paid your taxes, I don't care what column you mark it down in.

00:16:01.320 Nobody cares.

00:16:03.620 All right.

00:16:06.840 So.

00:16:08.200 But here's the other thing that Democrats need to know.

00:16:10.640 So I put this in my post.

00:16:12.000 I said, note to Democrats. 0.99

00:16:13.200 That's if Trump ever becomes an evil tyrant, Republicans will kill him for you. 1.00

00:16:19.060 That's what the guns are for. 1.00

00:16:20.380 And the F-15s aren't going to protect him, no matter what dumbass Biden says. 0.99

00:16:29.700 That's what the guns are for. 0.99

00:16:31.080 To imagine the Republicans would be okay with somebody they like becoming a dictator is

00:16:39.140 completely missing the whole point of being a Republican or a conservative, which is if

00:16:43.760 it's not in the Constitution, no.

00:16:46.560 How about no? 1.00

00:16:48.300 How about if you try to violate the Constitution by becoming a tyrant, we'll kill you. 0.99

00:16:52.460 How about if you were our best friend yesterday, but today you become a tyrant, we're still going 1.00

00:16:57.620 to kill you. 1.00

00:16:58.260 So it's really clear. 1.00

00:17:02.180 That's what the guns are for.

00:17:04.440 It's not just for killing somebody that's on the other team. 0.99

00:17:07.680 It's for killing our own team. 0.99

00:17:10.300 It's for killing our own team, if necessary, right? 0.99

00:17:14.840 It's always last resort, of course. 0.93

00:17:16.820 Guns are last, last, last resort. 0.95

00:17:19.200 And we're not there.

00:17:20.600 We're nowhere near.

00:17:21.360 We're nowhere near gun time.

00:17:22.940 Anyway, the reason the Republicans don't see a dictator risk is that they have not been

00:17:29.880 brainwashed by the CIA-led corporate media.

00:17:34.300 So if you've been brainwashed into thinking Trump might become a dictator, despite four

00:17:38.980 years of experience in which nothing like that happened, and the biggest complaint about

00:17:42.640 him is he didn't have enough power to do anything he wanted to do, like even build a 0.98

00:17:46.180 fucking wall, if you could live through that and still think he's going to be a dictator, 0.99

00:17:51.460 despite 80 million people with guns who are willing to shoot him the minute he becomes 1.00

00:17:55.980 a dictator, like literally, not hyperbolically, if he ever became an actual Hitler, the Republicans

00:18:03.120 would take him out.

00:18:04.220 You don't even have to take care of it.

00:18:05.780 You can just ask us.

00:18:06.860 I say us because I'm on pro-Trump, even though I'm a Democrat.

00:18:12.140 All right.

00:18:13.980 So Axios reports that the fake local news sites now exceed the real stuff.

00:18:18.900 So there are all these dark money sites pretending to be local news, but they've exceeded the

00:18:24.860 actual news.

00:18:26.340 So your odds of seeing real news now much less than seeing one of the fake sites, but even

00:18:32.100 the real news is fake if it's political stuff.

00:19:39.120 The FBI has just announced that crime has plummeted for the first quarter of 2024.

00:19:46.180 Can we all have a laugh about that?

00:19:48.200 I'm going to take an extra sip while you laugh at the ridiculousness of all the data that

00:19:53.640 you're going to see this between now and election day.

00:19:56.420 All data is fake.

00:19:58.680 All data is fake. 0.97

00:20:00.120 Between now and election day, there won't be a single fucking piece of data that you should 0.99

00:20:04.780 trust. 0.97

00:20:05.760 Everything about the inflation will be fake.

00:20:08.380 Everything about the CGI will be fake.

00:20:11.080 Everything about employment will be fake.

00:20:13.460 Everything about crime will be fake.

00:20:17.840 And this one really stands out because apparently there were changes in the reporting requirements.

00:20:28.340 So what we're seeing is a change in how the data was collected and reported.

00:20:32.140 We're not seeing a change in crime.

00:20:33.680 There might be a change in crime, but it would be hidden by the fact that the reporting structure

00:20:40.140 changed.

00:20:41.160 So no, don't trust that.

00:20:44.620 And one of the biggest lies in America is that voters determine the outcomes of elections.

00:20:50.820 Would you all agree that we could dispense that fantasy?

00:20:53.880 It's really, really obvious that that's not what's happening.

00:20:59.140 What's happening is basically we live in a hoaxocracy.

00:21:05.260 So we live in a world in which lying doesn't have consequences, if you're in the political

00:21:10.360 game.

00:21:11.480 And it's gotten much worse.

00:21:13.400 It used to be that the candidates could just tell a bunch of lies and the other one would

00:21:17.360 say, hey, that's a lie.

00:21:18.400 But nothing would really happen.

00:21:20.540 But now it's extended all the way into the CIA can legally, I think, completely interfere

00:21:26.960 with elections, as they obviously did.

00:21:30.120 And while the intelligence people in general, and they can just run ops, they can actually

00:21:37.080 run an op to create a fake narrative, not just lie.

00:21:40.020 But pay somebody to develop fake information, pay somebody to act a certain way.

00:21:46.140 Now, look at these lies.

00:21:47.820 The Russia collusion hoax, the laptop hoax, the fine people hoax, the insurrection hoax.

00:21:53.960 These are ops.

00:21:55.860 This is not just somebody lying.

00:21:57.880 This is your intelligence agencies running games on the United States just the way they

00:22:02.800 do in other countries when we try to influence them.

00:22:04.960 So the real competition is not between candidates and their messages.

00:22:12.140 You can see for yourself that policy is not having a big role in this election, and probably

00:22:17.040 not any election.

00:22:18.160 We pretend it does, but maybe not.

00:22:21.660 What we have is a competition between government liars, which include the intelligence community,

00:22:29.260 and something that caught them by surprise, which is the most persuasive populist in the

00:22:34.440 history of the United States, maybe the world.

00:22:38.360 So Trump simply broke the mold by being so persuasive that their various machinations and

00:22:46.620 control over the media wasn't enough.

00:22:50.000 They didn't know how to control that specific persuasive threat.

00:22:53.880 But moreover, Trump has a sort of a secret army of hypnotists who have been working with him

00:22:59.540 from the start.

00:23:01.060 And if you combine Trump's power with a secret cabal of hypnotists, they can actually match

00:23:10.160 the entire intelligence operation.

00:23:13.860 That's how good Trump is with persuasion, especially when he has help.

00:23:19.700 But here's the important thing.

00:23:21.340 The only reason this is a fair fight is because Elon Musk bought X.

00:23:27.420 It wouldn't be, I'll bet Trump wouldn't even be in the close, in the polls, except that there's

00:23:37.260 now something closer to free speech happening, and it's on X, so it's a pretty big footprint.

00:23:44.720 So we have, our government is a hoaxocracy.

00:23:47.900 It's just a bunch of hoaxes run by the intelligence units to make you think you should vote one way

00:23:53.300 versus another, and countering that is the most persuasive populist who is supported by a cabal

00:24:01.440 of super persuasive people that I call hypnotists.

00:24:06.420 Now, the beauty of hypnotists, and also with the intelligence people, is they have one quality

00:24:12.420 in common.

00:24:13.780 They can operate right in front of you, and you can't see them.

00:24:17.360 Now, we can see them because the various hypnotists who are pro-Trump, and again, I'm using hypnotists

00:24:26.580 as more of a provocative title for just people who understand persuasion and how the persuasion world works.

00:24:33.760 Yeah, I'm talking about your Sertovich's, you know, your Jack Posobiec, you know, your Glenn Greenwald's,

00:24:40.500 your Schellenberger's, you know, I could go on and on.

00:24:42.640 But it's the people who are not hypnotized, and the people who have enough experience that they can see the plays.

00:24:50.020 So for the first time, there's now visibility on what the real system is, which is an intelligence operation,

00:24:59.280 you know, backed by rich people, basically, and the State Department.

00:25:04.460 And Mike, and of course, Mike Benz is the other big part of that.

00:25:09.280 So it's not all persuasion.

00:25:11.240 You also need some autists. 0.99

00:25:14.700 And I say that because Mike Benz called himself autistic.

00:25:18.420 I think he doesn't mean that, literally.

00:25:20.700 But what he does mean is he has a certain kind of mind that can play chess and can play classical music.

00:25:26.980 And as luck would have it, that specific mind allows him to look deeply into all the connections in the government and tell you how they're all connected, which you and I can't do, because we can't beat him in chess.

00:25:40.740 We can't play, you know, concert, piano, and our brains aren't wired that way.

00:25:45.120 But his is, and so he just tells you what's true, and you go, oh, my God, now I see it.

00:25:51.860 He can't see it until he explains it.

00:25:53.600 But once he says, this person worked for this person, you know, this person met with this person, it all makes sense.

00:26:00.960 So there you go.

00:26:03.900 It's all possible because of Elon Musk buying X and saving free speech, literally saving free speech.

00:26:09.160 Well, The Hill is reporting that Democrats want to remind people of all the bad things that Trump has said and to cure what they call the Trump amnesia.

00:26:19.860 They're worried that voters forgot all the bad things that Trump said.

00:26:25.100 Can I translate that for you?

00:26:27.140 All right, I'll be your hypnotist, and I'll translate that brainwashing. 0.99

00:26:32.080 What that means is all the bullshit that the Democrats made up about Trump, like saying drink bleach to cure your, you know, things that didn't happen, saying that the soldiers were losers because they died or something like that didn't happen, fine people hoaxed didn't happen. 0.99

00:26:51.840 So what they're calling Trump amnesia is their clever persuasion play to make you think those things were ever true in the first place. 0.99

00:26:59.860 Good luck.

00:27:02.080 Good luck.

00:27:03.560 I think that's a counter to Trump derangement syndrome because you notice that there's always a counter.

00:27:10.540 You know, whenever there's something that they're doing wrong, they will definitely blame you for doing it.

00:27:17.540 So that's more of that.

00:27:19.360 I had the bad luck to turn on CNN when they had a guest, Adam Kinzinger, on.

00:27:24.660 And he talked for, I don't know, five minutes or so, and all I could see was severe mental illness.

00:27:30.100 Do you get the same feeling?

00:27:32.700 Like his face seems all puffed up like he's on some kind of medication and everything he said sounded like a hallucination.

00:27:39.580 You know, if all the bad things Trump was going to do and the bad things that happened that didn't really happen.

00:27:45.160 I mean, none of it seemed like it was based in any kind of reality whatsoever.

00:27:48.260 Now, I don't think he's in the category of a clever operator. 0.99

00:27:54.140 I think he's just crazy. 0.99

00:27:56.680 Like there's just mental health problem there. 1.00

00:27:59.240 That's what it looks like.

00:28:00.320 Well, here's a question I was using my chat GPT for to help me out while I was preparing my notes.

00:28:10.280 I saw somebody who said on a post, Chris Marks said on X, that in 1988, experts predicted sea level rise would wipe out the Maldives within 30 years.

00:28:23.060 But the Maldives have actually grown instead of shrunk 36 years later.

00:28:27.620 And then he says, Chris says, the catastrophists are battling zero with their predictions of doom.

00:28:36.220 Now, I said to myself, really?

00:28:39.240 Is it really zero?

00:28:40.540 Because they predicted so many dooms.

00:28:43.040 You figure some of them had to hit, right?

00:28:45.160 Because a lot of them are coin flips.

00:28:46.560 Either it will be drier than usual or wetter than usual.

00:28:51.420 Either it will be more hurricanes or less hurricanes, you know, fewer hurricanes.

00:28:57.500 So I wondered if that's true.

00:28:59.880 Have the doom predictors really actually literally been wrong 100% of the time?

00:29:06.160 So I asked chat GPT.

00:29:08.000 And as you know, chat GPT is totally unbiased.

00:29:12.140 No, of course not.

00:29:13.360 It's totally biased for whatever the narrative is to the left.

00:29:16.940 And so it supported the idea that the catastrophists, as Chris calls them, have made correct predictions.

00:29:27.220 Would you like to hear some of the correct predictions?

00:29:31.220 If you heard that people correctly predicted the future based on climate change theory, and then they hit their mark,

00:29:39.400 wouldn't that make you think, well, maybe.

00:29:41.340 Maybe if you were doubting climate change was a problem.

00:29:44.440 But you heard that they made predictions, like years ago, and then nailed it.

00:29:50.240 Wouldn't that change your mind?

00:29:52.660 All right.

00:29:53.020 Well, watch me change your mind now.

00:29:54.680 Here's some predictions that they totally nailed, according to chat GPT.

00:29:58.440 That the Pacific Northwest would have a heat wave in 2021, and it caused a bunch of fires and stuff.

00:30:10.360 So they predicted that.

00:30:12.700 Did they predict that it would happen in the Pacific Northwest?

00:30:16.880 No.

00:30:17.240 No, they predicted that there would be extremes, so that there would be some places, you know, having extreme dryness.

00:30:25.300 But in other places, they said there would be extreme wetness.

00:30:27.980 So they predicted extremes in heat waves, but also extremes in flooding.

00:30:38.580 And sure enough, there were some places that had one in a thousand year floods.

00:30:44.500 Well, that sounds pretty bad.

00:30:45.940 Just like they predicted.

00:30:47.280 And then the Pacific Northwest had an unprecedented heat wave.

00:30:51.500 Well, that's exactly what they predicted.

00:30:53.920 Does that sound like a good prediction and they really hit it to you?

00:30:56.800 No.

00:30:58.540 This is designed for people who are not good at analysis.

00:31:02.280 Did you catch the problem?

00:31:06.280 Watch me make a prediction, and then I guarantee I'm going to hit it.

00:31:09.860 You ready?

00:31:12.420 Sometime in the next year, there will be at least one region of the Earth that has a weather-related event that's unprecedented.

00:31:21.080 And it will be caused by me snapping my fingers.

00:31:26.160 Done.

00:31:28.780 You watch.

00:31:29.460 And the next year, there's going to be an extreme weather event.

00:31:32.740 I can't tell you where.

00:31:34.400 I mean, you know, the climate change couldn't tell you it was going to be in the Pacific Northwest in 2021.

00:31:40.820 I mean, we're not that specific.

00:31:42.040 I'm just telling you, in the next year, somewhere on Earth is going to break a record for weather, and it's because I snap my fingers.

00:31:50.960 Check back with me in a year.

00:31:54.140 Anybody want to bet against me?

00:31:55.340 No, you don't, because the weather sets records all the time.

00:32:00.060 I don't remember a single time in my childhood where I turned on a weather report and some weather man, usually man back then, or weather woman, or weather non-binary or trans, was telling me that there's a new record in Idaho.

00:32:14.920 Oh, it looks like there's a drought in Maine.

00:32:20.580 Well, probably never.

00:32:23.460 So the catastrophists went from predicting things you could measure.

00:32:30.220 You get that?

00:32:31.720 You could measure the sea level at the Maldives.

00:32:35.000 But every time they predicted something you could measure, it didn't happen.

00:32:42.060 So what did they do?

00:32:44.120 Did they say, well, I guess our theories are debunked because every time we predict it doesn't happen?

00:32:49.980 No.

00:32:50.860 They changed their predictions to something unlikely will happen.

00:32:56.220 What?

00:32:58.200 Something unlikely is guaranteed to happen no matter what, with or without climate change.

00:33:03.340 The world is a big, you know, changeable ball floating through space.

00:33:10.340 It's changing all the time for all different reasons, you know, at least in terms of specific geographies.

00:33:15.700 So no, they just hid the ball.

00:33:18.380 They're hiding the ball by saying, well, we predicted this 2021 Pacific Northwest.

00:33:24.240 You say, did you predict it would happen there and only there and then 2021?

00:33:28.300 Well, no, but we correctly predicted things like that.

00:33:35.540 Yeah, so did I by snapping my fingers.

00:33:38.400 I just correctly predicted that things like that will happen next year.

00:33:43.240 Crazy.

00:33:44.460 So then I asked chat GPT, are there any of the years in that period where they think they're so happy they nailed that Pacific Northwest thing?

00:33:51.820 I said, can you tell me, did the temperature go up every year?

00:33:57.360 They said, well, no.

00:34:00.260 They said between 2017 and 2018, the temperature was stable.

00:34:05.920 Oh.

00:34:07.200 And between 2019 and 2020, it decreased.

00:34:13.200 Wait, what?

00:34:14.100 So 2017 and 2018, the temperature didn't increase.

00:34:19.300 And then 2019 and 2020, it decreased.

00:34:22.780 But then they're doing a victory dance because in 2021, there was a heat wave.

00:34:28.540 In one place. 1.00

00:34:31.660 Could this be more bullshit? 1.00

00:34:34.620 They're really doing it right in front of us. 1.00

00:34:36.800 It's funny.

00:34:38.840 I was watching MSNBC again because I watch it for the comedy.

00:34:42.060 And what you notice is that MSNBC's content is no longer about the news.

00:34:52.360 It's about their reaction to the news.

00:34:55.140 Have you noticed that?

00:34:56.160 Once you start seeing it, it becomes funny.

00:34:58.760 They're creating content by their reaction to the news, even though the news is nothing.

00:35:04.800 So they're actually inventing reaction news.

00:35:07.800 It's like those reaction videos of people listening to a great song for the first time.

00:35:13.440 So I was watching, I guess it was on Morning Joe.

00:35:18.600 If you really think that Joe Biden is the one losing it,

00:35:23.600 I think everyone in the world thinks Joe Biden's losing it.

00:35:28.160 He said, watch the performance in Las Vegas over the weekend.

00:35:30.900 This was Trump giving a speech.

00:35:32.100 And then they didn't show the speech or anything that would make Trump look bad.

00:35:37.180 They just sort of took something out of context.

00:35:39.440 And then they did reactions.

00:35:42.060 So Trump did nothing wrong.

00:35:43.800 He just gave his normal speech.

00:35:45.260 They took it out of context.

00:35:46.660 And then they made the news the reaction.

00:35:48.640 Oh, oh, oh, look at that guy.

00:35:51.640 Ah, ha, ha.

00:35:52.900 Woo.

00:35:53.880 Ah, woo.

00:35:56.400 And that's the news.

00:35:57.960 The news is the reaction to the thing they made up.

00:36:00.480 They just make up stuff and they react to it.

00:36:04.660 And then people watch it.

00:36:05.940 And I do too, because it's funny.

00:36:08.520 But if you watched it thinking it was news, my God, you'd be lost.

00:36:15.200 So then I saw somebody on social media say something about Morning Joe and, you know,

00:36:22.140 the intern that died in his office.

00:36:24.340 And somebody made an allegation that he was involved with her.

00:36:27.520 And I thought, I think I would have heard that news.

00:36:30.980 So I asked ChatGPT to give me a history of Morning Joe before he was Morning Joe.

00:36:36.980 So he was in Congress in 2001.

00:36:40.580 He won his reelection in November.

00:36:43.860 But then a few months later, he announced he was quitting for personal reasons.

00:36:48.160 But there was no reporting that he was involved with anybody or having an affair.

00:36:53.680 That's just an internet thing.

00:36:55.600 But at least ChatGPT says there was nothing like that going on.

00:36:59.000 It was just personal reasons unspecified.

00:37:01.920 Here's a question I ask you.

00:37:04.480 Who runs for office, wins, and then quits halfway through?

00:37:09.620 Or like, really?

00:37:10.560 If he resigned six months or so after he won the election, it kind of suggests to me that

00:37:17.340 maybe he was planning to quit as he was running or that something happened we don't know about.

00:37:23.140 So there's a little bit of a mystery there.

00:37:26.260 But an intern did die.

00:37:28.380 Somebody young who had an undisclosed heart problem, who had the bad luck of collapsing and

00:37:35.580 hitting her head on exactly the thing that would kill her.

00:37:38.080 So, here's the thing. 0.71

00:37:43.220 You know, we always suspect that the intelligence people try to own public figures through the

00:37:50.880 process of having blackmail on them.

00:37:53.780 Do you think Morning Joe has any blackmail?

00:37:56.460 Now, I don't know.

00:37:57.760 And I don't see anything in the news that looks, like, reliable that would say anything

00:38:02.000 bad about him.

00:38:03.180 But he acts like he is.

00:38:04.800 He acts like it's not, he's not under control. 1.00

00:38:09.660 Because the things he says are so laughably stupid. 1.00

00:38:13.520 You know, his complaints about Trump. 1.00

00:38:15.780 He doesn't look like he's doing anything close to an opinion or the news.

00:38:19.900 It looks like somebody paid him to say bad things about Trump.

00:38:22.900 And that's it. 0.99

00:38:23.900 And if he doesn't, he'll die. 0.97

00:38:26.560 He looks like he'll die if he doesn't insult Trump. 0.99

00:38:29.360 Maybe he would. 1.00

00:38:29.920 I also have a theory about Lawrence O'Donnell, because he has the smug idiot look. 1.00

00:38:37.340 And I always wonder, like, what's behind the smug idiot? 1.00

00:38:39.880 Where he says stupid things, usually about Trump, but then he's got a smile of satisfaction 1.00

00:38:45.920 like I've never seen in my life. 0.99

00:38:47.780 And the two things are just so jarring and uncanny valley to me.

00:38:52.600 And here's my theory.

00:38:53.520 I think Lawrence O'Donnell is someone who never got enough attention for his good works

00:39:01.680 during his life, because he's actually quite accomplished.

00:39:04.960 He's done quite a bit before he was on there.

00:39:07.740 And I think that once he found that all he had to do is cleverly insult Trump, and he would

00:39:13.940 get more public acclaim and more accolades than he did for any of his good work.

00:39:19.540 I think he was a writer on The West Wing, for example.

00:39:23.540 That's pretty impressive.

00:39:25.520 I don't know what he contributed specifically, but if you're a writer on The West Wing, the

00:39:29.260 best written show, of course, I also believe that it was written entirely by the producer

00:39:34.320 of the show and that the writers had almost nothing to do with it.

00:39:36.940 So maybe he had nothing to do with anything.

00:39:38.920 But I'm saying that he looks like a guy who found a way to get a pat in the back and a

00:39:47.320 rub of the belly and a treat, and all he has to do is insult Trump.

00:39:51.040 So he's got this smile on his face like he's discovered infinite candy, and he can just

00:39:56.060 stick his beak in and suck out the sugar, and it's just a good time.

00:39:59.680 No real work involved.

00:40:01.300 He just has to say, and what do you think about Donald Trump?

00:40:05.980 Am I right?

00:40:07.200 And people will say, that was a genius show.

00:40:09.760 Lawrence, you nailed it again.

00:40:11.700 Watch this.

00:40:12.540 Watch me nail it again. 1.00

00:40:13.600 And Donald Trump, he's probably a rapist and maybe a racist. 1.00

00:40:19.560 Wow. 1.00

00:40:20.620 The insights that you're bringing to this, Lawrence, are so impressive.

00:40:25.000 May I buy you lunch?

00:40:26.360 I feel like that's what's happening. 1.00

00:40:28.480 Like this smug idiot look is that they can literally say any damn thing about Trump, and 1.00

00:40:34.040 they know it, and they just give some big reward. 1.00

00:40:37.040 While crime might become illegal in California again, the initiative to end it, Proposition

00:40:45.060 47, Proposition 47 was the thing that said you could steal up to $950, and it wouldn't

00:40:51.620 be much of a big deal.

00:40:54.100 So people did.

00:40:55.640 Quite a bit of it.

00:40:57.260 And the Californian public has realized that we don't have a real government, because if

00:41:01.480 we had a real government, we wouldn't have to do this.

00:41:03.720 They would have changed it themselves.

00:41:05.100 So the citizens of California are rebelling, and basically, it's an insurrection.

00:41:13.360 I mean, the ballot initiative to get rid of Prop 47 is very specifically an insurrection,

00:41:21.440 because we're cutting the government out of the decision, because they can't get it right.

00:41:26.100 And we believe that the government is acting against our interests as citizens.

00:41:30.440 That's exactly what's happening.

00:41:31.760 It wouldn't be on the ballot unless a lot of people thought this is wrong, and I'm pretty

00:41:36.920 sure it's going to win.

00:41:39.200 Pretty sure it's going to win.

00:41:40.280 So this might be a little bright spot in the future.

00:41:44.960 Anyway, so we know a lot about the whole Hunter Biden Burisma CIA thing, but if you don't

00:41:51.760 know the whole thing, and I'll talk about Hunter's conviction next.

00:41:54.940 So you remember there were 51 signers of the thing that said the laptop was fake.

00:42:01.500 What we know now is that the CIA was entirely behind the Ukraine revolution, entirely behind

00:42:07.580 the Ukraine war, and that the CIA is licensed to lie and do illegal acts, and that a lot of

00:42:15.940 the things we've seen are they're licensed to do illegal acts.

00:42:19.600 So let me put this in context.

00:42:22.060 Remember you said to yourself, my God, we just found out that 51 intelligence people lied to

00:42:27.160 the public about the nature of the laptop.

00:42:29.680 And you say to yourself, well, that's got to be illegal.

00:42:33.240 Nope.

00:42:34.700 It's specifically legal to lie to the United States citizens for an op.

00:42:39.800 They can break the law, any law they want, apparently, and they can lie to the American 0.97

00:42:45.880 public.

00:42:46.320 It's not illegal.

00:42:47.920 So they were just doing their jobs of covering up a thing.

00:42:52.980 Now you say to yourself, but is it their job to cover up for a Hunter Biden?

00:42:57.740 Yes, it is, because Hunter was part of the op.

00:43:01.100 Hunter was on the board of Burisma because of the CIA, because we wanted them there.

00:43:06.980 The CIA wanted them there.

00:43:08.820 So the Hunter Biden crime family, if they were completely, let's say we understood everything

00:43:17.100 we did, it would unravel the whole CIA interest, which they can legally lie to you to keep private.

00:43:25.160 So did they interfere with the election?

00:43:28.440 Clearly, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:43:32.620 Would that be illegal under every normal context?

00:43:36.520 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:43:38.220 Is it illegal if the CIA is behind it?

00:43:43.260 I think no.

00:43:45.480 I think they're actually authorized to do exactly anything they want.

00:43:49.480 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:43:51.180 I think that they can do that right to us.

00:43:53.900 I'd love to be wrong about that, but I think that maybe no laws were broken, at least by

00:44:00.420 the people who organized it, if they were doing it under the CIA banner.

00:44:03.380 So thanks to Mike Benz and a number of other people, but mostly Benz, I think, for unraveling that

00:44:14.600 whole thing.

00:44:15.300 So we know that Burisma was just this, was the vehicle that the CIA was going to use to control

00:44:21.720 Ukraine's oil production.

00:44:23.580 And that was the reason we were there in the first place.

00:44:26.000 We wanted to bankrupt Russia and make them non-competitive if we wanted to control other 1.00

00:44:32.820 countries that they also had an interest in.

00:44:35.180 So for example, if we wanted to dominate Syria, we would rather that Russia was too weak to 0.85

00:44:41.080 stop it.

00:44:41.600 If we wanted to dominate any other country in which they have a relationship, we wanted them

00:44:47.180 to be too weak to help that other country.

00:44:49.980 So I think we understand that quite well.

00:44:53.180 And under that context, how do we look at Hunter's gun conviction?

00:44:57.540 So he now would be a convicted felon if all this is finalized.

00:45:03.160 Guilty on three counts related to guns.

00:45:05.620 There could be a potential jail term.

00:45:10.080 Have you noticed that the news keeps talking about the fact he might go to jail?

00:45:15.440 And yet the news also says he's totally not going to jail.

00:45:18.780 Why are they running both stories?

00:45:21.220 Oh, he could go to jail for 25 years.

00:45:24.000 He's totally not going to jail, of course, because it's the first offense and wouldn't

00:45:27.440 be any reason to.

00:45:29.040 But oh, 25 years, 100 years.

00:45:32.260 It's to make it sound scarier.

00:45:34.160 So it's more of a story.

00:45:35.860 Get your interest.

00:45:36.520 But maybe it's also to cover up that the conviction is a diversion.

00:45:42.780 Now, as all the smart people said, and James Comer said something like this, basically,

00:45:50.860 if James Comer said that if he were going to make a list of the top 10 crimes that Hunter

00:45:57.960 committed, his gun crime wouldn't be on the top 10, because they get all kinds of fairer

00:46:03.200 violations and not paying his taxes and all kinds of stuff.

00:46:10.240 Yeah.

00:46:12.320 So anyway, do all of you believe that the gun conviction was just so they could say nobody's

00:46:21.660 above the law, but since Hunter wasn't possibly going to go to jail and he could get pardoned

00:46:26.820 by his father any time, Hunter seemed pretty relaxed after being convicted for something

00:46:32.340 they could send him to jail.

00:46:34.240 Why do you seem relaxed?

00:46:36.100 Because his only problem was the court case itself.

00:46:39.720 That was he had to be there and go through the business and pay for it.

00:46:43.660 That was his problem.

00:46:45.020 He didn't really have a problem of going to jail.

00:46:47.360 So once the felony conviction was, you know, in the bag, all his problems were solved because

00:46:54.600 he's not going to jail and it'll be fine.

00:47:00.020 So it does look exactly like they're sacrificing him, but not really because he's not going to

00:47:05.860 go to jail and his reputation isn't going to get any worse.

00:47:09.280 And do you think Joe Biden feels bad that Hunter can't get a gun now?

00:47:13.700 Imagine you're the father, put yourself in Joe Biden's position.

00:47:20.960 If you pardon him, correct me if I'm wrong, but he can go get another gun.

00:47:26.420 Can he?

00:47:27.640 No, I guess he couldn't because he used to be a, well, I don't know.

00:47:32.440 I'm not sure.

00:47:33.640 I think he couldn't get another gun, but it certainly makes sense.

00:47:39.580 And by the way, I think that Trump should pardon him. 0.98

00:47:41.960 I'd like to see Trump pardon Hunter for this, to make a point that we don't do bullshit. 0.98

00:47:53.640 Just to make a point that pardons are real and we don't do bullshit. 0.93

00:47:58.660 And I think the Supreme Court should throw it out because I don't, because at the moment, 0.71

00:48:04.340 you know, I think 30 million people are illegal.

00:48:06.720 How many people smoke pot and also have a gun?

00:48:11.640 Think about it.

00:48:12.840 How many people smoke pot, let's say in a, well, it's federally illegal everywhere.

00:48:17.260 So if you smoke pot and you own a gun, you could go to jail.

00:48:23.640 You should be pardoned because the law is too unclear.

00:48:27.140 It's not one that we should be obeying.

00:48:28.960 I say, and the number of Republicans have agreed, by the way, Thomas Massey said, um, he's not

00:48:37.080 in favor of that law.

00:48:38.000 And I'm, I, I, I agree.

00:48:39.720 Second amendment has to, second amendment has to be above this.

00:48:44.400 And I get the reason you don't want, you know, people who are currently drug addicts to have

00:48:50.180 guns, but you're going to have to do better.

00:48:53.020 If it's including marijuana, you got to throw it out.

00:48:55.240 All right.

00:48:59.680 Um, I saw a Cenk Uyghur. 1.00

00:49:03.560 He was commenting on a wall street journal article, uh, that apparently says that the

00:49:08.200 head of Hamas, Sinwar has a plan, uh, as Cenk characterizes it, a plan to get Israel to lose

00:49:16.300 by getting them to believe they're winning by how many Palestinians they slaughter, which

00:49:22.500 would be Cenk's word.

00:49:23.560 Uh, so then he says, well, if it's true that Hamas is trying to win by losing, by having 0.80

00:49:31.700 the maximum amount of Palestinian deaths, if that's true per the wall street journal, then

00:49:38.060 why is Israel falling right into his trap? 0.98

00:49:41.820 And Cenk asked, why is the moron Netanyahu helping Hamas execute their exact plan, which 0.99

00:49:49.020 is, you know, maximum casualties? 0.99

00:49:53.780 And I volunteered to answer that question.

00:49:56.860 So I replied to Cenk.

00:49:58.800 I said, this one is easy.

00:50:00.960 Israel's enemies gave it a free pass to do anything it wants. 0.82

00:50:05.200 Free pass.

00:50:05.960 So here's, here's what I mean, no matter what Israel does in this situation, it's not really

00:50:14.160 going to change the level of hatred by its enemies who are the dangerous ones and the

00:50:19.800 ones who aren't dangerous are not dangerous.

00:50:22.300 So the people who wanted to destroy Israel are not going to more want to kill them. 0.96

00:50:27.620 Like if they're, if they're enemies want to kill all Jews and expel them from Israel or whatever, 0.96

00:50:34.940 it's exactly the same. 0.97

00:50:37.520 That Hamas was willing to like run toward them, you know, firing and slaughtering people and

00:50:43.540 doing all that.

00:50:45.060 It didn't get more.

00:50:47.320 They didn't get more angry.

00:50:48.660 So they had nothing to lose in terms of the enemy's opinion of them and nothing to lose

00:50:55.780 in terms of the supporters of those enemies.

00:50:58.140 They were already 100% against Israel.

00:51:01.900 And that was their mistake because, because they gave Israel a free pass. 0.68

00:51:08.520 How about American support for Israel?

00:51:11.280 Well, if you're following the news, you might say, well, you know, they're going to lose some

00:51:15.340 American support and in the long run, that's really going to hurt them.

00:51:18.660 Nah, probably not.

00:51:20.480 Probably they're not going to lose American support in the long run.

00:51:23.660 They have a really good relationship and, you know, APEC does a good job, et cetera.

00:51:28.940 So they're not going to lose support from the allies that matter.

00:51:34.580 Most people don't care about it one way or another, honestly.

00:51:39.760 And they're not going to make any difference with how their enemies feel about them.

00:51:44.240 Under those conditions, you can do anything you want because you have a free pass.

00:51:47.940 And what they want to do is apparently reduce the number of people who can shoot at them

00:51:53.100 to zero.

00:51:54.620 That's what they're doing.

00:51:56.160 And they're picking up the free money.

00:51:59.560 So why wouldn't you take free money if somebody hands it to you?

00:52:02.480 That's all that's happening, is that the bad guys said, we give you no way to win except

00:52:09.660 for killing us all. 0.56

00:52:11.520 So Israel said, wait a minute, say that again.

00:52:14.320 Yeah. 0.99

00:52:14.560 You have no way to win unless you kill us all. 1.00

00:52:19.340 So if I go ahead and try to kill you all, meaning the fighters, not the civilians, 1.00

00:52:24.760 then I'm just doing the only thing that I have a choice to do. 0.99

00:52:30.660 But I can also maybe pick up some land and, you know, get some benefits while I'm doing

00:52:36.220 it.

00:52:36.760 That's right.

00:52:38.800 Okay.

00:52:39.340 Then we'll just do the only thing we can do that will make no difference to anybody except

00:52:44.320 we'll come out ahead.

00:52:45.400 That's right.

00:52:46.120 So here's what Hamas is doing wrong.

00:52:52.280 If they'd ever presented Israel with a, if you do less of this, we'll do less of that

00:52:58.240 proposition, well, then they might have something to work with.

00:53:02.440 That might be something to talk about, but nothing like that's happening.

00:53:06.920 Their position is we keep our guns and we attack you again later as soon as we're strong

00:53:11.060 enough.

00:53:11.280 Those people need to go away and Israel's making them go away. 0.99

00:53:18.080 So no, don't expect Israel to negotiate when the people that they would negotiate with have 0.98

00:53:23.400 said, if you negotiate with us, you're just going to be a sucker because later we'll come 1.00

00:53:28.020 back and kill you because that's the only thing we care about. 1.00

00:53:31.660 Design is destiny. 1.00

00:53:32.800 If you design a system in which your enemy must kill you and take your shit because it's 1.00

00:53:39.020 the only logical thing to do, they're going to kill you and they're going to take your 1.00

00:53:43.800 shit. 1.00

00:53:45.000 Don't complain to me about it. 1.00

00:53:47.760 If you design a system that guarantees that outcome and then you watch it happen exactly

00:53:53.940 like it would happen on paper.

00:53:55.920 Huh?

00:53:56.220 How about we give you no options?

00:54:01.000 Yeah.

00:54:01.580 Well, what are you going to do if we give you no options? 0.99

00:54:03.540 Well, if we have no options, I guess we'll do the one thing we can do, which is kill you 1.00

00:54:08.360 all. 1.00

00:54:10.620 It's not confusing.

00:54:12.500 It's not confusing.

00:54:13.820 People make peace when it's possible.

00:54:18.100 If you're dealing with somebody that says, the more you kill us, the more we're going to 1.00

00:54:22.220 be worth killing because we'll be even angrier and try to kill you harder. 1.00

00:54:27.000 It's their only choice. 1.00

00:54:28.140 Stop giving people one choice and then being puzzled about why they take the one choice.

00:54:37.080 Anyway, let's see if I missed anything.

00:54:39.660 I feel like I did.

00:54:42.300 There was something I was going to tell you about that I did not.

00:54:48.940 Yeah, I think I covered it.

00:54:51.680 All right.

00:54:52.220 We're going to call that good.

00:54:53.760 That, ladies and gentlemen, is all I wanted to say today.

00:54:56.020 The best show you're going to see today.

00:54:59.240 Everything else is a mere shadow imitation.

00:55:04.900 I think the most boring thing about today will be all of the Republicans saying exactly

00:55:11.020 the same thing about the gun conviction.

00:55:14.840 It's a diversion.

00:55:16.840 There were worse things.

00:55:18.240 The prosecutor was clearly crooked because he first tried to get him infinite, permanent

00:55:25.580 immunity against all things, which nobody gets. 1.00

00:55:28.260 And it was stupid and it was rejected by the judge. 0.99

00:55:30.540 And then when he came back, suddenly he's all about law and order. 1.00

00:55:34.820 Yes, it was a diversion.

00:55:37.380 It definitely was a diversion.

00:55:39.540 And it definitely was the only thing that could keep Hunter out of jail.

00:55:42.660 Well, the Democrats could say, see, nobody is above the law.

00:55:47.600 We told you it's all fake.

00:55:54.640 The Dems are saying that Trump has 34 convictions and Hunter has one.

00:55:58.600 Well, Hunter has three, actually.

00:56:01.060 Hunter has three.

00:56:02.800 But it's the same trick that they use with Trump.

00:56:05.200 You know, Trump has one issue that they figured out.

00:56:09.320 He filled out more than one form, so they give him a count on each form.

00:56:15.800 Oh, and then it might say, yes, good point.

00:56:18.200 Thank you for making that.

00:56:19.460 It also creates a precedent for going after Republicans with guns.

00:56:28.120 So imagine, if you will, that you joined the NRA.

00:56:33.440 So the government, if they needed to, could find out if you have a gun.

00:56:40.240 And then suppose you also use social media, and maybe you've purchased marijuana at a dispensary.

00:56:49.280 The dispensary would have a record of you, possibly, unless you paid cash.

00:56:54.460 And the NRA would have a record of you.

00:56:57.380 And then they would say, huh, here's somebody who's buying weed on a regular basis.

00:57:03.200 Here's somebody who has a gun, according to the NRA.

00:57:06.140 Let's check the records to make sure they have a gun. 0.94

00:57:09.020 Oh, yes, they do.

00:57:10.460 Huh, I found a Republican who has a gun and has a record of buying weed.

00:57:15.400 Boom.

00:57:16.080 Jail, 25 years.

00:57:19.520 That could happen.

00:57:21.600 All right.

00:57:21.900 G. Gordon Liddy has guns as a felon.

00:57:27.600 His wife bought them.

00:57:29.260 Oh, my goodness.

00:57:30.140 Does that work?

00:57:31.200 I suppose if the gun is in the house, and you simply use your wife's gun in its self-defense,

00:57:37.200 that's legal, isn't it?

00:57:39.120 Listen to G. Gordon Liddy.

00:57:41.580 Yeah.

00:57:41.940 Give somebody else to buy you a gun and store it at your house.

00:57:45.380 Just make sure you know what the gun lock combination is.

00:57:49.020 You're probably in good shape.

00:57:50.020 All right.

00:57:51.600 Don't take legal advice from me, because if you do, you'll end up in jail.

00:57:54.920 Don't listen to any of that.

00:57:56.440 I'm just speculating that G. Gordon Liddy may have found a clever workaround.

00:58:01.320 Don't do it, though, because you'll probably end up in jail.

00:58:04.920 So listen to that last part.

00:58:07.220 All right.

00:58:08.000 Everybody on the YouTube and Rumble and X platforms, I'm going to say goodbye now.

00:58:14.380 See you tomorrow.

00:58:15.300 And I'm going to keep the locals subscribers here for some extra.

00:58:21.900 Bye for now.
