Summary
In this week's episode, the guys talk about a new home theater system, a new study that proves looking at trees can improve your mental health, and a California law that prevents parents from knowing the gender of their own kids.
Transcript
00:00:08.920
Well, I'd like to start out with a special shout-out to all the fathers.
00:00:16.640
Fathers, how many of you have ever set up a home theater system in your house?
00:00:23.300
In other words, adding the surround sound speakers and maybe a bigger screen,
00:00:27.120
only to learn that when you were done, you were the only person in your household who could use it without instructions.
00:00:34.640
And thus, when you thought you were creating something with a remote control, you were actually the remote control.
00:00:49.320
Now, in the comments, tell me, how many of you dads are the only ones who can use the home theater that you set up in your house?
00:01:01.380
Yes, it seems that there's no such thing as a home theater that everybody in the house can use.
00:01:06.480
There's only a home theater that dad could use when you call him to push the right buttons.
00:01:10.760
Well, there's a new study that reveals that simply looking at trees can boost your mental health.
00:01:21.680
Let's add this to these studies that you could have asked Scott about.
00:01:26.100
I think I've even told you this before a number of times.
00:01:29.160
And I would add to this that pretty much every day after I do the show,
00:01:34.260
one of the first things I do after having a snack is I take my dog to the park.
00:01:40.840
And one of the things I noticed is my little park has some delightful trees.
00:01:47.520
And I could actually feel the difference in my mental health when I look at the trees.
00:01:56.460
It's that the park has a nice arrangement of trees.
00:01:58.900
But the fact that you can actually feel it in real time, that's mind-blowing.
00:02:07.620
So the contrast between indoors and outdoors, I think it's just more stark.
00:02:11.560
But when I go directly from being indoors for, you know, 18 hours and go into the park,
00:02:21.300
So if you can force yourself to stand among the trees a little bit every day,
00:02:31.500
Well, here in California, there's a vote on whether parents should be informed by schools
00:02:37.220
when they change the pronoun they use for the kids.
00:02:40.240
In other words, when your child starts identifying as a different gender than the one you knew about,
00:02:55.520
Every California, every one, 29 to 8, every single Democrat voted to keep it a secret from parents
00:03:04.040
that the school was changing the gender of your child.
00:03:20.820
This is really not a political question, is it?
00:03:28.880
Democrats are completely fucked up, at least in California, and totally evil.
00:03:36.320
There's nothing else you can say about this question.
00:03:46.300
You can't tell the parents when you're changing the gender of their children?
00:03:55.340
This is just bullshit, bad shit, crazy, worse than communist.
00:04:01.640
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department, State Department, they're quite proud of launching an updated
00:04:14.080
You can mail your stuff in and upload them digitally.
00:04:22.480
Everybody, let's give a hand to the State Department.
00:04:29.420
Yay, I can't wait for what you have coming next.
00:04:35.260
Now, I ask myself, is there some reason that didn't happen 20 years ago?
00:04:40.820
And then I say to myself, huh, if we were suspicious, what would we suspect about the fact that they
00:04:48.000
made it easier to cheat on your, I assume, easier to cheat when you get your passport?
00:04:55.980
Why does it look like 100% of what Democrats are doing is to destroy the country?
00:05:05.880
Let's make the elections harder to know if they're true.
00:05:11.720
Let's make it easier for illegal aliens who might have criminal records to get into the country.
00:05:19.540
Let's make it easier to get a fake passport, or we'll just say it's being more efficient.
00:05:26.780
Let's put in electronic voting machines that have no utility that we can determine,
00:05:32.420
but people are really, really worried that they get used for cheating in elections.
00:05:44.540
They're all batshit crazy, unless you're trying to destroy the country.
00:05:52.280
Well, Bjorn Lomborg points out that America has been getting greener, probably because of
00:06:01.720
And so the world is getting more green, but it may be also warmer.
00:06:08.960
People would dispute the getting warmer part, but we know the green part seems to be, everybody
00:06:25.640
Every time you put a human in a situation where there's more baseline energy, good things
00:06:38.100
I wonder if there will ever be an exception to that.
00:06:41.480
Now, the reason I said baseline energy is to make an exception, like if somebody blows
00:06:46.500
something up, that's a lot of energy, but that's not baseline.
00:06:49.720
So if something happens that's a quick shock, you know, that could be a bad application
00:06:55.220
of energy, could be a bullet or a bomb or lightning or something.
00:07:01.320
But when is it ever bad to put humans in proximity to baseline more energy?
00:07:17.700
And it should make it easier for us to generate a power.
00:07:21.840
The worst thing would be if we're getting colder.
00:07:29.520
But it'd be a terrible problem if we're getting colder.
00:07:35.020
Has it ever been a bad idea to put humans where they have access to lots of baseline energy?
00:07:40.880
Because in my view, you know, my economics view of the world, every time your energy situation
00:07:58.040
One of the things I learned on YouTube is that according to people who are not in the CIA,
00:08:05.020
it's common for the CIA to hide its behavior by creating 10 fake stories to hide that one of
00:08:20.280
But some say that a lot of the UFO reports were intentionally faked to hide the fact that
00:08:27.500
there are real UFOs and that the government has a bunch and they shot them down and they're
00:08:40.080
But there is some indication that maybe some of the UFOs are just skunkworks, you know, like
00:08:49.440
And that the big triangle looking ones with three lights on them might be just, you know,
00:08:56.840
But the little tic-tac ones, people think, no, the tic-tac ones are alien technology.
00:09:07.120
Have we seen a pattern where if we think there's something real, the zone gets flooded with fake
00:09:15.600
There are two domains in which I've seen this happen.
00:09:21.740
And I worry, I'm especially worried because I saw Michael Schellenberger weigh into the
00:09:29.740
Now, Schellenberger, if you've been following the news at all, you know he would be right
00:09:39.440
Not any of the corporate media bullshit, but like a real independent, honest to God, real
00:09:46.820
reporting, you know, the Matt Taibbi stuff where you don't care which side it's coming
00:09:54.780
In the whole world, there are only a few of them.
00:09:57.380
And the next thing I know, I see Schellenberger talking about UFOs, well, UAPs.
00:10:02.620
Now, I don't believe that he had an opinion on it, except that it looks like something's
00:10:14.520
I worry that this technique of flooding the zone with fake stuff, as in the Sidney Powell
00:10:25.020
In my opinion, the Kraken that Sidney Powell said was coming was because there were too
00:10:40.220
Sidney Powell has never said why she thought the Kraken was coming.
00:10:47.700
Somebody that she trusted told her it was coming, and she believed it.
00:10:54.100
Somebody probably associated with an intelligence or the bad guys.
00:10:59.600
I think it's a common practice for the bad guys to seed a whole bunch of fake stories so
00:11:05.540
that credible people start looking non-credible.
00:11:08.220
And I'm quite concerned that the UFO thing is that, that every person who says, yeah, UFOs
00:11:22.400
Through no efforts, I don't think it was his mission, but he became one of the more credible
00:11:29.200
Now, he became credible just because there's no indication he's ever tried to lie to you.
00:11:34.420
He may have been wrong about a few things like everybody in the world.
00:11:37.420
But there's no indication, not even a hint, that he has any incentive or ever has lied to you.
00:11:47.680
Because if he tells you something, you know, in a minute, you can say, well, he never lied
00:11:55.240
But then you feed him some stuff about UFOs until the people watching say, you know what?
00:12:05.200
So maybe the other things he says aren't that credible either.
00:12:11.860
And also beware latching onto any specific election irregularity claim.
00:12:24.720
Well, Star Wars, the acolyte, the ratings are in and it's completely in the toilet.
00:12:30.920
And here's one of the reasons why I think it happened.
00:12:41.400
If you can't handle it, you might want to stop watching now.
00:12:48.980
If you're an American man, do you think about how women will be impacted by your decisions?
00:12:59.400
When you make a personal or even professional decision, does it ever come into your mind,
00:13:09.720
The answer is yes, because we're trained that way.
00:13:13.000
Everything you say to your spouse, you're thinking, oh, what's she going to think about this?
00:13:27.000
Now, of course, everybody always thinks about what everybody thinks in sort of a general
00:13:31.280
way, but I don't believe that women are super concerned about what men think about anything
00:13:38.220
because men act like we're not too bothered by too many things.
00:13:42.240
So I think in general, men put themselves in the position of, okay, I can't be a woman, but
00:13:49.840
like using my historical experience, what trouble could I get in if I do this versus that?
00:14:01.900
There's no way you make this movie the acolyte with any sense that male opinion is even important
00:14:11.900
I believe that it was just a, you know, they were probably locked in some kind of woman's
00:14:18.400
And they figured if they make themselves happy, the rest of the world would be happy because
00:14:32.420
If you spit on men long enough, they don't go to your stupid fucking movie.
00:14:38.140
And we're completely done speaking for all men.
00:14:41.940
I can't always do that, but I'm going to do that this time.
00:14:44.360
Speaking on behalf of all men, you can take your Star Wars movie and you shove it up your
00:14:49.860
front hole as far as it goes because we don't need this shit anymore.
00:14:55.640
And if you're not even going to spend a fucking second thinking about what we want to pay money
00:15:00.180
for, we're not going to pay our fucking money for it.
00:15:11.660
They're talking about how Trump was talking about that Biden should have to take a cognitive
00:15:20.340
Oh, but the AP, zing, they zinged the president.
00:15:25.660
President Trump was saying that Biden should take a cognitive test and that he totally confused
00:15:38.960
I think that Trump's cognitive problems probably just like Biden's because that name confusion
00:15:54.500
That would be in the category of things that literally every person in the world mixes up.
00:16:04.900
If you asked me tomorrow what was the name of his original White House doctor, because
00:16:09.160
that's Ronnie Jackson was the White House doctor for Trump, I would have said, I think
00:16:15.520
No, you can't compare confusing Johnson and Jackson with Biden not knowing what fucking
00:16:38.680
I see a story that says Javier Millet's Argentina is in complete chaos.
00:16:44.400
There's rioting in the streets about his populist uprising.
00:16:50.080
Although Alex Jones warns us, it might be a communist uprising.
00:17:10.660
I think they think he's not going to listen to what they want.
00:17:14.380
I think the CIA's job probably is to overthrow him.
00:17:18.740
Now, I'm not in favor of that, but I'll bet you they think it's their job and it's completely
00:17:23.960
legal in America for them to do illegal things in other countries.
00:17:28.540
So, yeah, I have real questions whether this is a real story or is it propaganda?
00:17:34.860
And is it just CIA propaganda before they try to take over the country?
00:17:45.540
Well, I'm loving the Democrats for making it so easy to know what is true versus what's
00:17:51.660
If I haven't told you what the liar squad is, let me remind you.
00:17:55.900
There's a group of Democrats that come out when you need to really, really lie and everybody
00:18:02.980
Now, regular Democrats will often say the same things, you know, they'll agree with
00:18:08.800
their team, but they're not really front and center.
00:18:12.260
Sort of if you, if you track, if you track them down in the halls of the Capitol, like
00:18:17.040
put a microphone, what do you think about this?
00:18:19.300
They might say the same thing as the professional liars on their team, but they're not, they're
00:18:26.120
The one, the ones who go first and loudest, the liar squad, you got Dan Goldman, you got
00:18:34.040
Raskin Schiff, Swalwell, Brandon Clapper, and that worse than Watergate guy who they
00:18:40.240
really, when they really have a bad one, they'll wheel out the worse than Watergate guy.
00:18:49.340
Well, I see you saying Schumer and Pelosi, they're not in the list.
00:18:58.360
So they, they just, you know, say whatever the, the people are saying in the group, but
00:19:04.120
the professional liars are the people who are not the leaders.
00:19:07.780
And apparently they will say anything, no matter how transparently untrue it is.
00:19:14.240
I mean, Goldman is still supporting that the laptop from hell isn't real.
00:19:18.940
As of what, a few weeks ago, he was still arguing in public that maybe it wasn't verified to
00:19:25.600
Maybe there was some stuff in there that was planted.
00:19:33.860
Goldman, Raskin, Schiff, Swalwell, Brandon Clapper, and the worst than Watergate guy.
00:19:38.120
Those are the guaranteed, this isn't true people.
00:19:43.260
Once you learn to spot them, you can know immediately what's not true because it's one
00:19:51.420
And by the way, I mean that literally, I mean, you literally can tell what's true and not
00:19:56.520
true with, I would say a hundred percent with a hundred percent accuracy.
00:20:01.220
They just don't come out, this specific group, unless it's a lie.
00:20:11.100

00:20:55.280
All right, Trump apparently said the other day that one of his speeches was rewritten with
00:21:14.320
AI, and apparently he may have actually given that speech.
00:21:18.620
Now, rewritten means that I just think the AI tightened it up a little bit.
00:21:23.220
He talks about his speechwriter, you know, showed him the before and after, and he agreed that
00:21:35.740
He is not that far from Biden's age, but he has a young man's mind, for better or for worse.
00:21:44.440
You know, all the nicknames and the funny insults and stuff, they do read as, you know, sort of
00:21:54.140
But what you get for that package is a young mind.
00:22:01.980
Now, he's fascinated enough by AI that, you know, that his curiosity is bringing him further into
00:22:09.200
the topic, which is just a great thing to see from somebody of a certain age.
00:22:21.500
Now, here's the question you must ask yourself.
00:22:23.340
Here's a perspective that I can give you as a professional writer.
00:22:30.420
Speech writers have a lot of influence on government policy.
00:22:36.620
Because if a speech writer can write it in a way that's really persuasive, then the politician
00:22:42.540
who approves it says, whoa, that's really persuasive.
00:22:47.200
If the speech writer can't figure out a way to say it in a way that the country is going
00:22:52.920
to buy it, the candidate will kind of spot the same thing and maybe de-emphasize it.
00:22:58.980
So what you have is a situation where nobody talks about this except writers, I guess.
00:23:07.640
If you've seen me influence anything in the real world, it's because I'm a writer, meaning
00:23:13.880
that I know how to say things in a way that other people can pick up as a persuasive way
00:23:21.440
So just the fact that I can frame things in a better way gives me incredible influence
00:23:28.740
over the public because I can show a good way to say something.
00:23:34.160
Somebody important can recognize it, say, whoa, that is a good way to say that.
00:23:38.600
So if you can say it best, you run every conversation.
00:23:44.160
Whoever can say it best is in charge, basically.
00:23:49.060
I mean, for all practical purposes, whoever is best at wording things ends up being in
00:23:57.060
So now think about AI being used for speech writing.
00:24:01.540
Now, the way that Trump explained it, I think it just tightened up the writing.
00:24:08.400
But how far are we from some lesser known politician, let's say an AOC, who's got the
00:24:19.660
But they just turn on AI and say, look, I'm this kind of politician.
00:24:30.580
Now, at the moment, the best human speakers can write a way better speech than the best
00:24:38.100
But we all kind of think that's going to cross over so that maybe only a few Abe Lincolns
00:24:46.420
So if you pair an AOC-type charisma with AI-written persuasive speeches, it kind of puts AI running
00:24:58.180
the country because even though the politician gets to say yes or no to reading the speech,
00:25:08.540
So the way AI can control us is not by some kind of force or threat.
00:25:19.900
You will soon realize there's no point in reading the speech it wrote for you until you
00:25:29.920
I can predict with certainty that at some point in the next five years, for sure, maybe
00:25:35.240
one, there's going to be some somebody who's going to give a speech they never read.
00:25:42.840
They put it in their pocket, got on stage and read it.
00:25:49.600
And it's not doing it with any malicious intent.
00:26:08.800
Over in Europe, I guess Meta's having trouble with their AI because some Irish entity told
00:26:18.540
them they can't use local data, which makes their AI useless.
00:26:22.260
So remember I told you that humans are more dangerous to AI than AI is to humans?
00:26:33.780
Tell me an advantage that America has over China, Japan, and Europe in commerce.
00:26:43.020
Here's the advantage that America has over Europe, Asia, and China.
00:26:51.800
Go fast and oh my God, you might destroy the world.
00:26:54.340
Or go slow and you're in a lot of trouble that way too.
00:27:08.160
Now, the government would want to slow it down, right?
00:27:12.720
But in America, we're going to say the government wants me to slow down.
00:27:17.800
Well, how about I just don't tell the government until I'm done?
00:27:29.620
I wish I'd asked in advance, but it's a good thing I didn't.
00:27:33.940
No, America has a tremendous advantage in AI because of our personalities.
00:27:41.600
The American personality is this is super dangerous, but also super valuable.
00:28:01.980
Well, nobody knows, but it's the right it's the right play.
00:28:04.820
I do think you have to make noise about safety, just so it's not forgotten.
00:28:11.400
But even within that, you know, within those boundaries, America is going to be more flexible
00:28:17.440
And I really think that's going to make a difference.
00:28:19.640
We found out that Biden's EPA took a bunch of money meant for clean energy and gave it to groups that oppose immigration enforcement.
00:28:31.000
That's a real thing happening that you thought you voted for clean energy and they gave it to opposing protecting your country.
00:28:40.840
Do you think that maybe everything that we fund everywhere needs to be looked at carefully?
00:28:47.660
Do you think that we need a Vivek-like personality in the government to say, how about if you can't prove where you spent the money last time, you get zero?
00:29:02.100
If you can't tell me what you spent it on this year in a way that we're all happy with it.
00:29:12.760
If anybody says, oh, well, maybe we'll start tracking it next year.
00:29:19.380
Zero is what you get if you can't show where your money went.
00:29:22.160
And maybe a Republican administration can get that done.
00:29:27.620
I have my skepticism that Republicans would be tough enough, but there are some characters who might be.
00:29:38.300
Axios is reporting that Biden might need these celebrity endorsements and celebrity fundraising to get him over the mark.
00:29:49.200
The fact that there's a, you know, a Democrat, sort of a Democrat-leaning publication, Axios, that's telling us that they're going to need the celebrities.
00:30:04.440
They're not hiding, Democrats are not hiding the fact that they need the dumbest people in America to back them or else they can't win.
00:30:11.360
Celebrities are well understood by every demographic in America.
00:30:32.180
I love some of those celebrities, but, you know, on average, they're dumber than we are.
00:30:35.520
Um, I think everybody looks at celebrities as the dumbest people and nobody blinks when the Democrats say, yeah, once we get all the dumbest people in America on our side, we're going to raise some serious money.
00:30:48.360
I think you need to call out that they have intentionally decided that their fate has to be separated from the smart people.
00:30:59.120
Because smart people aren't going to let you fucking change the gender of your kid and not tell the parents.
00:31:11.140
So, no, the Democrats have to get as far as they can from smart people and they're signaling it as clearly as they can.
00:31:25.700
Hey, young people, fellow young people on TikTok, we'll get the, we'll get the TikToker influencers.
00:31:34.180
Because aside from celebrities, they're the dumbest fucking people in the world.
00:31:39.420
And everybody agrees, even the people who like them, even the people who follow them, right?
00:31:48.180
And the Democrats need the dumbest people because the smartest people have already left.
00:31:58.960
Bill Ackman, Elon Musk, Jameth, Benipatia, David Sachs.
00:32:05.780
I could list a lot more, but they're not all public.
00:32:11.540
But trust me, there are no smart people left supporting Biden.
00:32:19.860
Now, there are people who have high IQs who support him, but they're also lost in TDS.
00:32:30.300
The game I like to play when I watch MSNBC is liar, stupid, or TDS.
00:32:40.900
Because there's no other explanation for what you're seeing.
00:32:49.280
When I turn on CNN and Smirkanish comes on, I don't see any of those things.
00:33:02.940
But when the MSNBC people come on, pretty much every one of them, there might be an exception.
00:33:08.340
Actually, some of the lawyers look like they're actually not crazy or stupid.
00:33:12.380
But the main hosts, like Morning Joe, I'm fascinated by Morning Joe.
00:33:20.220
I can't stop watching because I'm not exactly sure if he's operating from stupidity, TDS, or lying.
00:33:31.300
My current view is lying, as in he's being blackmailed by somebody.
00:33:37.440
Because he couldn't be that stupid and hold the job.
00:33:44.820
It's not like, yeah, I just don't think they could do that complicated job and be that stupid.
00:33:52.500
But the thing with Joe is he doesn't exactly look like he has TDS.
00:33:59.460
It looks like he's lying for some purpose that's not obvious to us.
00:34:19.880
So Biden are both ramping up their messaging toward blackmail voters.
00:34:26.020
So Trump's doing it, and he's got a group, is it Blacks for Trump or something?
00:34:44.980
But apparently Biden realizes he's losing black voters.
00:35:00.980
He's losing men, no matter what they look like.
00:35:04.600
They're still unwilling to admit what's going on.
00:35:07.400
Because once they admit that they're losing men,
00:35:10.320
they're going to admit that their whole situation is bad shit crazy.
00:35:15.160
Because even the women realize that if all the men who are smart leave,
00:35:26.440
and all they have left is some betas and some crazies,
00:35:30.340
even the Democrats are going to notice they might be doing something wrong.
00:35:36.660
But the Democrats cannot acknowledge what's actually happening,
00:35:40.120
which is its male flight from a female-led disaster.
00:35:45.340
The Democrat Party is a female-led disaster for the country.
00:35:58.620
Patrick, I bet David had somebody on who was saying that the odds of the CIA
00:36:03.680
having a body double for Biden is close to 100%,
00:36:07.980
and that they've had body doubles since Reagan's day.
00:36:12.840
But they may have improved to the point where it could give a speech.
00:36:18.840
Do you believe that there is a Biden body double
00:36:25.140
In other words, the technology or the technique of having a body double
00:36:28.940
may have improved to the point where it can give a speech,
00:36:33.680
And some say the State of the Union was the body double.
00:36:49.140
That, to me, doesn't sound like one of those stories
00:36:51.900
that you should go out and retweet as if you believe it.
00:37:05.220
could anybody pull it off at some point in the future?
00:37:11.260
you're going to be out there looking like a dope.
00:37:18.760
But it's going to make you look like you have less credibility
00:37:45.200
as long as you're very clearly just having fun with it,
00:38:23.520
that armed people would be knocking at his house,
00:38:29.720
which resulted in him having his head blown off
00:38:39.820
hey, why don't you come into the police department?
00:38:46.100
Do you think they should have at least maybe tried
00:39:07.980
And to imagine that he should be treated like this
