Transcript

00:00:00.000 That sounds good to me, Mr. Adams.
00:00:02.140 I'll respond when you call me Eve.
00:00:05.260 Very good.
00:00:08.360 Now, the people are coming in.
00:00:10.080 Do you think we should do the simultaneous?
00:00:11.460 Thank you, Mr. Adams.
00:00:13.200 Do you think we should do the simultaneous SIP?
00:00:19.740 Yes, we can coordinate and do this simultaneously.
00:00:22.600 Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
00:00:24.060 Do you remember the simultaneous SIP thing that I say before the show?
00:00:37.900 I'm sorry, I don't recall that specific detail.
00:00:40.760 Could you remind me?
00:00:43.140 Well, I could take a photograph of it.
00:00:50.500 That would be helpful, Mr. Adams.
00:00:54.060 All right, let me take a photograph here,
00:00:55.860 and we'll have ChatGPT do the simultaneous SIP for us.
00:01:07.640 Here it is.
00:01:11.680 Live demonstration.
00:01:22.480 Oops, hold on.
00:01:24.060 Hold on.
00:01:26.420 I need you talking.
00:01:29.840 And here we go.
00:01:34.140 All right, I'd like you to read out loud the simultaneous SIP.
00:01:43.940 Here it comes.
00:01:44.920 Sure, Mr. Adams.
00:01:45.660 Here it is, the simultaneous SIP.
00:01:51.440 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:01:55.120 a tankard chalice or stein,
00:01:57.140 a canteen jug or flask,
00:01:58.800 a vessel of any kind.
00:02:00.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid,
00:02:02.100 and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:02:04.760 the dopamine hit of the day.
00:02:06.520 Thank you.
00:02:09.300 Very good.
00:02:16.300 Join me now for the dopamine hit of the day.
00:02:20.880 All right, we'll shut her up for a while.
00:02:22.620 Well, the future is here.
00:02:29.340 Not really as satisfying as when I do it, is it?
00:02:32.400 I know.
00:02:33.540 You're all like, don't do that again.
00:02:36.280 Don't do that again.
00:02:37.620 All right, I won't.
00:02:38.340 We tried it once.
00:02:42.300 But if you haven't tried taking a photograph of something
00:02:45.360 and uploading it to your AI,
00:02:47.540 and watch how I can interpret it and read it,
00:02:49.600 it's kind of creepy.
00:02:52.120 It's creepy good.
00:02:53.360 I mean, it's awesome.
00:02:55.060 But it's creepy.
00:02:57.500 Well, if you're subscribing to the Dilbert Reborn comic
00:03:00.220 that you can only see if you're a subscriber on X
00:03:02.960 or on the scottadams.locals platform,
00:03:06.400 you would know that Dilbert has gone in for LASIK surgery.
00:03:11.520 I'm not going to tell you how it goes.
00:03:14.200 You would just have to see it yourself.
00:03:16.340 It's a visual.
00:03:17.060 It's a visual comic.
00:03:18.040 Well, and the next category is the weather.
00:03:23.800 Temperature reached 128 in Death Valley,
00:03:26.900 and it killed a guy.
00:03:30.300 So a guy died.
00:03:32.440 Now, I've got a little tip for you.
00:03:35.380 This is sort of a safety tip.
00:03:38.140 If you ever have the urge to travel through or to a place
00:03:43.580 called Death Valley, don't do it.
00:03:48.840 Don't do it.
00:03:50.060 That's all.
00:03:50.620 That's it.
00:03:51.800 There are other names, too.
00:03:53.460 Like if there were a place called,
00:03:55.800 I'm going to chop your head off,
00:03:58.860 Valley.
00:04:00.520 Don't go there.
00:04:02.000 No.
00:04:02.700 About shoot you till you die,
00:04:06.620 Valley.
00:04:07.860 No.
00:04:08.260 Don't even go there.
00:04:09.640 You got to do the basics, right?
00:04:12.920 Got to get the basics.
00:04:13.920 Don't go to a place called death.
00:04:17.000 All right.
00:04:18.440 In Zero Hedge, there's an article by, well, it's talking about Jeff Tucker of Brownstone Institute.
00:04:24.100 He basically has the proposition that we may have been in a recession for years,
00:04:29.400 and the reason it's not obvious is that 100% of our economic data is fake.
00:04:35.860 Has anybody told you that before?
00:04:41.320 Have I ever told you directly that all of our economic data is fake?
00:04:44.900 I think I've made, you know, I've certainly made disparaging remarks about, you know,
00:04:50.320 certain elements of it, but I'm fairly confident that it's all fake, or it's all out of context,
00:04:57.740 or they used to measure it one way, and now they measure another, or they know they're overstating
00:05:03.620 it, but later they're going to correct it, or they know they're understating it, but later
00:05:07.360 they're going to correct it, or they always knew it was wrong, but it's advantageous to
00:05:11.840 measure it this way.
00:05:15.280 As a person who used to, for a living, in the actual capitalist commercial world, it
00:05:21.920 was my job to bring data to management, and the one thing I can tell you for sure is it
00:05:28.700 was never real, because it turns out in the real world, when you go to look for data and
00:05:35.380 then put it in a report, the first thing you find out is the data is bad.
00:05:39.820 The second thing you find out is there's no way to fix it.
00:05:45.300 The third thing you find out is that management doesn't care.
00:05:51.360 That'll set you straight.
00:05:54.000 People wonder how I became so distrusting of government and whatnot.
00:05:59.160 That's what Dilbert's all about.
00:06:01.280 Dilbert is a comic strip that started with the realization that everything is a lie.
00:06:08.180 Everything your boss tells you, everything the company tells the customers, everything the
00:06:13.340 customers tell the company, everything the government tells you, everything, it's all
00:06:18.180 a lie, and always has been, and always has been.
00:06:22.280 It's just that it works.
00:06:24.680 Lots of times, lying just gets stuff done, and then stuff sort of works.
00:06:29.960 I mean, we're still alive.
00:06:31.000 We're still here.
00:06:31.480 I have a hypothesis, I can't remember if I told you this on the show, or maybe only the
00:06:36.900 man cave, about why civilizations fail.
00:06:41.520 You know, throughout history, there have been these big civilizations that we just find the
00:06:45.540 ruins.
00:06:46.680 And then, what the hell happened to the Roman Empire?
00:06:49.920 If you try to research why did the Roman Empire fail, it'll be all these weird sort of different
00:06:58.040 reasons that don't quite map out in your head.
00:07:02.400 But here's my theory.
00:07:04.880 My theory goes like this, that it's exceedingly rare for any civilization to become super successful.
00:07:14.900 So, for every Rome, there must have been a thousand civilizations that were just small
00:07:20.500 tribes and didn't make it.
00:07:21.680 So, the normal situation is that everything dies.
00:07:26.940 You know, nobody really makes anything important.
00:07:29.580 They live their life in a small world.
00:07:32.340 They die.
00:07:33.760 It's just the rarest thing, when all the elements come together, that something can form a big
00:07:39.740 civilization, you know, a powerful regime over maybe a hundred years or something.
00:07:44.840 And the reason that they disappear is simple.
00:07:49.560 They weren't supposed to be there in the first place.
00:07:53.380 That's it.
00:07:54.260 The only thing that made them so successful was the weirdest coincidences that came together
00:07:59.800 at the same time.
00:08:01.020 And there isn't any way that that can keep happening.
00:08:04.560 It takes extraordinary luck to be in the right place at the right time with the right set of
00:08:10.220 variables.
00:08:11.260 And it just doesn't last.
00:08:13.160 It has nothing to do with how hard anybody tries.
00:08:15.520 It has nothing to do with, you know, did their society become decadent?
00:08:21.280 None of that.
00:08:22.660 It's just that there isn't any way that you could be so lucky for so long.
00:08:27.500 It's just not possible.
00:08:29.120 It's just a reversion to the mean, and there's nothing else to it.
00:08:32.120 That's my theory.
00:08:33.180 It's just reversion to the mean.
00:08:34.900 Because you really can't find anything in common with failed civilizations.
00:08:39.900 It looks like it's every different reason.
00:08:41.620 Which means everything had to be right to get what you got.
00:08:46.720 Let me give you another example of that.
00:08:49.040 When people talk about Trump getting elected in 2016, it seemed so highly unlikely.
00:08:55.600 And then some people will say, well, the reason he got elected is X.
00:08:59.920 And then somebody else will say, well, I see what you're saying.
00:09:02.720 But really, the reason he got elected was Y.
00:09:06.360 And it turns out you could do the whole alphabet as the reason he got elected.
00:09:10.340 If you change that one thing, he probably wouldn't have been elected.
00:09:15.140 And so my take on that is all those things had to happen.
00:09:19.020 If you take any of them away, it probably would have been the margin of, you know, victory goes away.
00:09:24.400 So think about the coincidences that have to come together for a Rome.
00:09:31.660 The coincidences that have to come together for a Trump victory.
00:09:36.380 And now, leading into my next point, Lex Friedman had a guest on.
00:09:44.900 And he asked him, talking about the simulation and do we live in the simulation.
00:09:49.260 And the guest, I don't know his name.
00:09:50.800 I see him on Twitter.
00:09:52.180 Sarnik, maybe.
00:09:53.960 Sarnik.
00:09:54.360 He said the odds that we're a simulation.
00:09:57.940 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:59.200 That's just his Twitter name or X name.
00:10:01.840 His name is Roman Yimpulski.
00:10:07.060 And he says the odds that we're a simulation are nearly 100%.
00:10:10.320 And one of the things that he offers as, not proof, but sort of a logical argument, is what are the odds that we would be alive at this point in history with everything that's happening?
00:10:26.140 Have you ever said to yourself, what are the odds that you were alive when computers were invented for the first time?
00:10:35.020 I was.
00:10:36.920 Smartphones, first time.
00:10:38.620 AI, robots, all in my lifetime?
00:10:44.920 Doesn't it seem to you that we're in an insanely unlikely period of history?
00:10:51.220 What are the odds?
00:10:52.820 If you look at the, you know, entire history of humanity, not so good.
00:10:58.400 And then I find myself working the exact job that I imagined when I was six.
00:11:05.080 What are the odds of that?
00:11:06.320 What are the odds that one day the President of the United States would invite me to have a chat with him in the Oval Office?
00:11:13.620 That actually happened.
00:11:15.880 What are the odds that, you know, I could post something on X and on any given day Elon Musk, you know, would retweet it or comment on it?
00:11:25.040 The richest person in the world, what, we're running up to 8 billion people?
00:11:30.840 None of this seems possible.
00:11:32.780 It really doesn't.
00:11:33.840 If you were to say, does this seem more like a dream sequence or more like just the normal odds, it's way more like a dream sequence.
00:11:44.760 Way more.
00:11:46.460 Does anybody else feel that?
00:11:49.400 Obviously, lots of people are having bad lives.
00:11:51.780 But if you just take some characters, Elon Musk would be one, Trump would be another, and then in a very minor way, me.
00:12:00.920 People whose lives are so unusual that how do you really explain them as just chance?
00:12:08.420 It's pretty hard to explain.
00:12:11.460 Anyway, let's see if there's any more evidence that we're a simulation.
00:12:16.660 I'm going to ask you a question, and if we're a simulation, you're going to be able to answer this question without having any prior knowledge.
00:12:26.320 This will be how you know you're a simulation.
00:12:28.140 You ready?
00:12:29.020 Do you think you can do it?
00:12:29.960 Actually, I'm going to go first.
00:12:33.720 Go.
00:12:35.800 If anybody's new to the brilliance of my audience, this is going to impress you.
00:12:41.320 There it is.
00:12:42.860 I'm seeing the answer go by.
00:12:44.240 I haven't even asked the question, and the answer is correct, 25%.
00:12:49.640 Now, you have to round a little bit.
00:12:53.400 The correct answer is 24%, but I will take 25%.
00:12:57.580 Would you like to hear the question?
00:13:01.700 24% of Americans believe Biden could stay awake long enough to navigate a Cuban missile-like crisis, according to Blaze Media.
00:13:10.300 Right.
00:13:12.200 Right.
00:13:12.800 You knew the answer before I asked the question, and I think that's proof of a simulation.
00:13:19.960 Or not.
00:13:20.700 But, yes, 24% of the public, roughly 25%, will get every survey question wrong in the stupidest possible way, and you can depend on it.
00:13:34.560 Now, people always ask me, Scott, is it the same 25%?
00:13:39.500 Do we have a public where 25% of the same people are wandering around like nincompoops?
00:13:47.660 Well, yes, but it's not 25%.
00:13:50.200 It's probably closer to 60%, and the 25% is not always the same.
00:13:55.040 So, you could be in the 25% next time, but you wouldn't know it.
00:13:59.320 You would just think you were right, and I could be in the 25% probably by the end of the show.
00:14:08.760 Anyway.
00:14:12.220 There's a photo of an ancient spacecraft.
00:14:16.220 Jason Wilde was posting this.
00:14:18.380 So, discovered in Turkey.
00:14:21.420 It's a Toprakali relic.
00:14:24.060 It's a bronze artifact that looks exactly like a modern spacecraft.
00:14:29.320 Now, you have to see it.
00:14:32.920 You know, I've seen these before, like in various ancient drawings and stuff on cave walls, and somebody would say, look, look, it's a picture of a person in a spaceship.
00:14:43.980 And I'd look at it and say, hmm, maybe.
00:14:47.000 I can see how you'd say that's a spaceship, but maybe it's something else.
00:14:50.840 You know, maybe they had something else in mind when they put it on that cave wall.
00:14:54.180 But if you see this thing, it's an actual three-dimensional piece of art.
00:15:01.820 It's a guy in a spaceship.
00:15:05.380 It's definitely a guy in a spaceship.
00:15:07.560 I don't know what to make of that.
00:15:09.540 Which makes me think maybe it's a fake or something.
00:15:13.880 I think it's probably more likely it's a fake relic than really there's a guy in a spaceship made in those times.
00:15:22.020 But I will say that the relic is unmistakably a spaceship this time.
00:15:26.520 You wouldn't look at it and say, that might be something else.
00:15:29.420 No, no.
00:15:30.200 It's a spaceship for sure.
00:15:34.180 All right.
00:15:36.300 I was watching the All In podcast, and Tucker was on it.
00:15:39.740 I don't know when this was recorded.
00:15:41.160 It might be older.
00:15:42.820 I can't tell.
00:15:45.600 And he was talking about a small sliver of people who seem to have complete control of the Democrat Party.
00:15:53.540 And the Democrat Party has a lot of control of the country.
00:15:56.440 So that's just a small sliver of people who are controlling everything.
00:16:01.060 Who are they?
00:16:03.200 When Tucker Carlson talks about the small sliver of the population that's controlling the country in a bad way,
00:16:11.160 who's he talking about?
00:16:12.720 I want to see if you're on the same page.
00:16:17.020 Well, where's all the people who immediately say Jews, Jews?
00:16:21.060 You seem to be able to work that into every conversation.
00:16:24.460 Well, it's hot today.
00:16:25.960 Well, have you seen who's behind the heat?
00:16:30.240 Usually I get that.
00:16:31.740 Well, the answer is women.
00:16:34.220 Yeah, educated women.
00:16:35.200 Tucker thinks that educated women who have some kind of mental problems are the biggest problem in the country.
00:16:42.640 And they're ruining the country.
00:16:45.280 Now, is that an old...
00:16:49.120 Does anybody remember?
00:16:50.580 Maybe you know which video I'm talking about on the All In pod.
00:16:54.060 Is that recent?
00:16:55.660 Or has it been saying that for a while?
00:16:59.240 Does anybody know if that was recent?
00:17:00.740 And for some reason, I couldn't find a date on it, which is weird.
00:17:04.960 All right.
00:17:05.500 Well, I think people are coming around to the idea that batshit crazy women are the base problem of the country.
00:17:12.760 And I wouldn't be surprised if that's what destroyed France and Great Britain.
00:17:17.100 Batshit crazy women.
00:17:18.420 Because nobody can say no to them.
00:17:21.100 And there are too many of them.
00:17:22.780 They just have too much power.
00:17:23.940 And Rachel Maddow, speaking of batshit crazy women, she was on some event.
00:17:30.940 And she's pretty sure that the real problem is not that the Republicans will be trying to put her in jail.
00:17:38.380 But she's worried about the regular Democrats that he might round up and put in camps and stuff like that.
00:17:44.240 Now, the only thing I can say about that is that's batshit crazy stuff.
00:17:48.600 Batshit crazy.
00:17:50.820 And what do you do about that?
00:17:52.680 We have a world where you're not allowed to say, you know, women are the problem.
00:17:57.940 Not all of them, obviously.
00:17:59.800 But the batshit crazy ones that are Democrats are just breaking the whole system.
00:18:04.520 The pro-immigration women aren't just crazy.
00:18:09.420 They're destructive.
00:18:11.240 What in the world is that all about?
00:18:13.900 Now, I don't know what the percentage is of women versus men who are supporting uncontrolled immigration.
00:18:19.680 But if there's even one woman who is in favor of that, why?
00:18:25.820 Why?
00:18:26.600 Explain that.
00:18:28.740 It's a mystery.
00:18:30.580 Anyway, so the media and the Rachel Maddows on MSNBC are going hard, as we knew they would, on the Trump is Hitler.
00:18:41.180 He's going to round you all up.
00:18:42.440 It's going to be a dystopian nightmare.
00:18:45.220 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:18:46.580 And I've been suggesting the following idea as Trump's only way to combat that brainwashing, which is he's got to do an event that he goes and talks directly to Democrat citizens.
00:19:02.040 I would like to see him at lunch once a week, or at least just once, where he just sits with some ordinary citizens and says, you know what?
00:19:13.340 Your party says that if I get elected, I'm going to be Hitler.
00:19:18.180 I just want to talk to you and find out, do you really believe that?
00:19:22.120 And just have a normal conversation as a normal person and let them ask questions, because they might say stuff like, here's how I imagine it.
00:19:32.220 But you want to have a federal ban on all abortions.
00:19:37.920 And Trump would say, no, I don't.
00:19:40.840 I'm totally against that.
00:19:42.880 And then they would say, oh, well, I heard you were for it.
00:19:47.500 No, I'm actually completely against it.
00:19:49.640 I've been saying that for a while.
00:19:50.700 Oh, well, well, well, you also want to round up people.
00:19:59.500 No, I don't.
00:20:00.400 Why would I want to do that?
00:20:02.080 Why would I want to round up anybody?
00:20:05.000 Well, you mean the people who broke the laws?
00:20:09.440 Well, maybe even more than that.
00:20:11.280 Why in the world would I want to round up somebody who didn't break a law?
00:20:15.000 What possible reason would I have to do that?
00:20:17.700 How is that going to be good for me or anybody else?
00:20:19.660 In what way do I make America better by rounding up non-lawbreakers?
00:20:24.540 Are you serious?
00:20:26.240 They told you that?
00:20:28.580 Well, but you said those people in Charlottesville were fine people.
00:20:33.360 What?
00:20:34.040 You believe that?
00:20:35.000 You think I actually stood in front of the world and praised neo-Nazis because you ordered
00:20:41.120 it on TV?
00:20:43.460 No, I said directly they should be condemned totally.
00:20:47.040 You did?
00:20:48.020 In the same time, they cut that part out.
00:20:50.480 Did you know they just deleted that part?
00:20:52.980 No way.
00:20:53.840 Are you serious?
00:20:54.660 Yeah.
00:20:55.440 Yeah.
00:20:55.620 They literally just deleted out the part where I said I condemned them so that they
00:20:59.480 could say it was the opposite of what I said.
00:21:01.500 Did you know that?
00:21:02.840 I had no idea.
00:21:04.720 But you said drink bleach.
00:21:07.680 I did?
00:21:09.140 Do you believe that?
00:21:11.060 Where did you hear that?
00:21:11.920 On the news?
00:21:12.500 The news told you that I was in favor of injecting bleach?
00:21:16.380 No, I was talking about a technology that was being proposed at the time for UV light
00:21:23.840 therapy that they thought they could use a catheter to put down your throat and maybe
00:21:28.700 radiate your lungs.
00:21:30.400 And they actually tested it about that same time.
00:21:33.380 So when I talked about disinfectants, I was talking about light.
00:21:36.720 But I probably said it a little awkward way and they took it out of context.
00:21:40.660 Well, why did you say you were being sarcastic?
00:21:43.540 I just wanted the whole thing to go away because it wasn't important.
00:21:48.000 You know, it didn't work.
00:21:49.320 It became worse.
00:21:50.460 But, you know, I just didn't want to engage on it because I couldn't really explain this
00:21:54.740 technology.
00:21:55.440 It's just something I saw in the news.

00:22:56.820 So imagine him having like a human conversation with people who have been told he was Hitler.
00:23:04.540 I don't know how it could go wrong, really.
00:23:06.960 I mean, unless one of the people at lunch was just crazy.
00:23:09.880 So you'd have to vet them a little bit and make sure they're at least reasonable people,
00:23:14.380 you know, not crazies.
00:23:15.720 I think that seeing Trump interact with normal Democrats with compassion and simply explaining
00:23:25.100 to them that the news is completely fake would be the best thing he could do.
00:23:30.160 And I also think he can't win without it.
00:23:34.760 You think that he's on a glide path to winning?
00:23:38.240 I don't see that at all.
00:23:41.100 I don't see that at all.
00:23:42.960 I think his odds of winning are at best a coin flip.
00:23:47.380 At best.
00:23:48.520 You know, if you're thinking 70% chance of winning, you are so wrong.
00:23:52.280 He might win.
00:23:54.040 He might win.
00:23:55.480 But his odds are not really that good because there's just too much going on.
00:23:59.840 And I'm going to tell you some more that maybe you are not aware of that will convince
00:24:04.840 you that his odds of winning are not good.
00:24:07.580 And if I had to guess, he's the one who needs the Hail Mary pass.
00:24:12.560 Here's what everybody has wrong.
00:24:14.740 They think the Democrats are in disarray and that they need some kind of drastic Hail Mary,
00:24:21.620 never done before, you know, quick change, rapid thing to get a new candidate in there.
00:24:28.540 You're missing the real story.
00:24:31.260 Trump is probably not going to win at the current rate.
00:24:35.000 He's the one who probably has to do something dramatic, but not something crazy dramatic,
00:24:41.220 something dramatically normal, something dramatically human.
00:24:46.580 So he needs to be dramatically human so that people can see that their own side has been
00:24:53.760 lying to them.
00:24:55.280 Dramatically human.
00:24:57.260 That's his goal.
00:24:58.580 I don't think he can win without it because the brainwashing is so strong.
00:25:03.340 How strong is the brainwashing?
00:25:05.560 How much power is on the other side?
00:25:07.640 I don't know.
00:25:08.900 Let's see what Tucker Carlson says about that.
00:25:12.920 If I can make this work.
00:25:17.580 We'll just listen to you, Tucker.
00:25:19.460 So if you want to understand, if you really want to understand how the American government
00:25:29.080 actually works at the highest levels, and if you want to know why they don't teach history
00:25:32.540 anymore, one thing you should know is that the most popular president in American history
00:25:37.000 was Richard Nixon.
00:25:39.780 Richard Nixon.
00:25:40.560 Yet somehow, without a single vote being cast by a single American voter, Richard Nixon was
00:25:46.640 kicked out of office and replaced by the only unelected president in American history.
00:25:51.360 So he went from the most popular president to a president nobody voted for.
00:25:56.520 Wait a minute, you may ask.
00:25:58.340 Why didn't I know that?
00:25:59.620 Wasn't Richard Nixon a criminal?
00:26:01.700 Wasn't he despised by all decent people?
00:26:04.240 Yeah.
00:26:04.760 No, he wasn't.
00:26:06.520 What?
00:26:06.800 In fact, if any president could claim to be the people's choice, it was Richard Nixon.
00:26:10.860 Richard Nixon was reelected in 1972 by the largest margin of the popular vote ever recorded
00:26:16.380 before or since.
00:26:18.680 Ever.
00:26:18.880 Nixon got 17 million more votes than his opponent.
00:26:22.580 Less than two years later, he was gone.
00:26:23.940 He was forced to resign.
00:26:25.580 And in his place, an obedient servant of the federal agencies called Gerald Ford took over
00:26:29.500 the White House.
00:26:30.040 How did that happen?
00:26:31.120 How did that happen?
00:26:32.460 Well, it's a long story, but here are the highlights, and they tell you a lot.
00:26:35.680 Richard Nixon believed that elements in the federal bureaucracy were working to undermine
00:26:39.960 the American system of government.
00:26:41.520 Elements.
00:26:41.820 And had been doing that for a long time.
00:26:43.740 What elements?
00:26:44.380 He often said that.
00:26:45.320 He was absolutely right.
00:26:46.480 On June 23rd, 1972, Nixon met with the then CIA director, Richard Helms, at the White
00:26:52.480 House.
00:26:53.620 During the conversation, which thankfully was tape recorded, Nixon suggested he knew, quote,
00:26:58.520 who shot John, meaning President John F. Kennedy.
00:27:01.860 What?
00:27:02.380 Nixon further implied that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy's assassination, which we
00:27:07.500 now know it was.
00:27:08.940 What?
00:27:09.600 Helms' telling response?
00:27:11.540 Total silence.
00:27:13.680 But for Nixon, it didn't matter because it was already over.
00:27:16.800 Four days before, on June 19th, the Washington Post had published the first of many stories
00:27:21.360 about a break-in at the Watergate office building.
00:27:24.340 Unbeknownst to Nixon and unreported by the Washington Post, four of the five burglars worked
00:27:30.220 for the CIA.
00:27:30.780 The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old Metro reporter called
00:27:36.640 Bob Woodward.
00:27:37.580 What?
00:27:38.360 Who exactly was Bob Woodward?
00:27:40.000 Yeah, who was he?
00:27:40.920 Well, he wasn't a journalist.
00:27:42.180 What?
00:27:42.540 Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever in the news business.
00:27:45.680 None?
00:27:46.240 Instead, Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government.
00:27:50.600 Uh-oh.
00:27:51.300 Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon.
00:27:54.720 He had a top-secret clearance.
00:27:56.240 He worked regularly with the intel agencies.
00:27:57.960 Hmm.
00:27:59.240 At times, Woodward was even detailed to the Nixon White House, where he interacted with Richard
00:28:03.300 Nixon's top aides.
00:28:04.500 Did he?
00:28:04.800 Soon after leaving the Navy, for reasons that have never been clear, Woodward was hired by
00:28:09.900 the most powerful news outlet in Washington and assigned the biggest story in the country.
00:28:14.260 He's a good interviewer.
00:28:15.140 Just to make it crystal clear what was actually happening, Woodward's main source for his Watergate
00:28:19.860 series was the deputy director of the FBI, Mark Felt.
00:28:24.400 And Mark Felt ran, and we're not making this up, the FBI's COINTELPRO program, which was designed
00:28:30.220 to secretly discredit political actors the federal agencies wanted to destroy.
00:28:34.320 What?
00:28:34.900 People like Richard Nixon.
00:28:36.320 And at the same time, those same agencies were also working to take down Nixon's elected
00:28:41.700 vice president, Spiro Agnew.
00:28:43.880 In the fall of 1973, Agnew was indicted for tax evasion and forced to resign.
00:28:48.620 His replacement was a colorless congressman from Grand Rapids called Gerald Ford.
00:28:52.540 Oh, hmm.
00:28:53.660 What was Ford's qualification for the job?
00:28:55.560 Yeah.
00:28:56.000 What was it?
00:28:56.560 Well, he had served on the Warren Commission, which absolved the CIA of responsibility for
00:29:01.320 President Kennedy's murder.
00:29:03.640 Nixon was strong-armed into accepting Gerald Ford by Democrats in Congress.
00:29:07.860 Quote, we gave Nixon no choice but Ford, Speaker of the House Carl Albert later boasted.
00:29:13.180 Eight months later, Gerald Ford of the Warren Commission was the president of the United States.
00:29:19.060 See how that works?
00:29:20.640 Yeah.
00:29:23.500 See how that works?
00:29:27.940 Any questions?
00:29:29.880 Remember the part where you said, we're in good shape because Trump's got a good lead in the polls?
00:29:36.280 Do you know who else had a real good lead in the polls?
00:29:41.300 Richard Nixon.
00:29:43.340 You know who else had a real good chance of re-election?
00:29:50.660 JFK.
00:29:51.100 Do you know what two groups were suspicious of the CIA and wanted less of them?
00:29:58.660 Nixon.
00:30:00.520 JFK.
00:30:03.880 Yep.
00:30:04.400 That's the world you live in, folks.
00:30:07.320 Would you like to hear an update from RFK Jr. talking about the assassination of his father?
00:30:14.680 Not JFK Jr.
00:30:16.080 That's his uncle.
00:30:17.480 But his father, Bobby.
00:30:19.240 His version is this.
00:30:21.660 And Surin Surin was waiting in one part of the building where he got shot.
00:30:27.800 And that wasn't the place that he normally would leave the building.
00:30:31.340 But for some reason, unexplained, the person who was sort of guiding him by the elbow took him to a unusual, you know, non-regular exit where Surin Surin was waiting.
00:30:44.940 Huh.
00:30:45.860 Kind of a big coincidence that he was guided to the place where the killer was, which wasn't even the normal place.
00:30:52.900 And then what followed was Surin Surin shooting all of the bullets in his gun.
00:31:02.240 There were eight.
00:31:03.700 All eight bullets.
00:31:04.960 Now, most of them were fired when people had already grabbed his gun hand.
00:31:09.340 So they weren't fired at RFK Jr.
00:31:12.580 They were fired at the ceiling and maybe hit some other people or whatever.
00:31:16.140 But there were eight of them.
00:31:17.580 I mean, they know the gun has room for eight bullets.
00:31:23.000 Fourteen bullets were shot.
00:31:24.940 This is RFK Jr.'s take on it.
00:31:28.020 We know from the recording that 14 bullets were shot from the eight-bullet gun.
00:31:34.080 It would seem that the person who took him by the elbow blew his head off in the commotion.
00:31:40.100 So that's the suggestion is that the CIA made sure that Surin got it done because they had a second shooter to finish the job.
00:31:48.940 And the second shooter was probably the guy who held him by the elbow.
00:31:52.220 And as soon as the gun started shooting and everybody started looking at the shooter, it looks like he just took a gun out of his pocket and blew Kennedy's head off.
00:32:03.040 Or something like it.
00:32:04.300 Now, you say to yourself, how in the world could you be hearing this story now if it's true with all those witnesses and all that?
00:32:13.540 Well, that's a good question.
00:32:15.440 It seemed like there were a lot of people there.
00:32:16.780 Somebody would have seen something different.
00:32:18.220 But just think about the other things that you know are true.
00:32:24.100 It's not that unusual.
00:32:26.740 Unfortunately, it's not outside the realm of normal, ordinary government entity that they would have murdered him right in front of a group of people and you wouldn't know it.
00:32:35.920 But I don't think that's unusual.
00:32:40.040 I don't think so at all.
00:32:41.880 So it does seem clear that the CIA has been running the operation at least since then, at least since the 60s, maybe before.
00:32:48.600 And on paper, there's no way it could go any other way because it's an entity that's trained to take over countries.
00:32:56.680 Of course, they're going to do it.
00:32:59.340 It just is a matter.
00:33:00.680 It's just a matter of time.
00:33:02.200 But apparently it happened a long time ago.
00:33:05.220 Now, that doesn't mean that it's such a clean ownership of the country that they can just get everything they want right away.
00:33:11.480 You know, they have to go through their pretending and the acting like the process is working.
00:33:17.560 And then when the time is right, they'll just give the nudge.
00:33:22.260 Now, you know, you probably said to yourself, how in the world did we get to this point where Biden was ever president in the first place?
00:33:30.220 Do you think that the CIA was unaware of Biden's dementia?
00:33:36.200 Of course they knew.
00:33:37.960 Of course they knew.
00:33:39.700 It's the CIA.
00:33:41.480 Do you think there was any doubt in their minds that they had a demented president?
00:33:45.120 Of course not.
00:33:46.240 If they wanted to change that, how hard would it be?
00:33:50.220 Simple.
00:33:51.220 They just go to the Washington Post, the New York Times, and they say, all right, we're anonymous sources.
00:33:56.440 And we're telling you from the intelligence community that the president has dementia and he's got to go.
00:34:01.620 It'd be the easiest thing in the world.
00:34:03.960 Because those entities would say, all right, you're our normal source.
00:34:07.760 We trust you.
00:34:09.060 And you got some details.
00:34:10.300 All right, we'll write that story.
00:34:12.660 But that story never got written, did it?
00:34:15.620 And I think Mike Benz is correct.
00:34:17.400 The only reasonable explanation is that the intelligence community is using Biden as an empty vessel for whatever they need to do.
00:34:26.640 They apparently are getting what they need to do done.
00:34:30.200 So they didn't need a change.
00:34:32.160 I also think that, you know, 99% of the presidency is the staff tells him what to do and he says yes.
00:34:38.600 So we did.
00:34:40.500 I think we proved that you don't really need a president.
00:34:43.980 Not that much, anyway.
00:34:47.300 You do need the president during the emergencies, but that's the same stuff the CIA handles, right?
00:34:53.860 If the president gets awakened at 3 a.m., somebody from the CIA is going to be in the room and tell them what to think, tell them what's true, and probably tell them what to do.
00:35:06.020 So I think that's our government, that the intelligence people have control of the things that intelligence people control, not everything in the world, but, you know, wars and geopolitical stuff and who gets elected.
00:35:18.880 I think that's all just the CIA.
00:35:20.700 Tucker said it directly on the all-in pod that we're not a democracy or even in the ballpark.
00:35:28.920 We're a group where there's a small group of unelected people who decide who can be in the primary and who's going to get elected.
00:35:36.820 And it's been like that for a long time.
00:35:39.200 So we're not a republic.
00:35:40.620 We're not a democracy.
00:35:42.280 I haven't been for a long time.
00:35:43.920 Now, how much is true about the stories about Nixon and the stories about Kennedy and the stories about the other Kennedy?
00:35:52.540 Well, if only half of it's true, it's the same story.
00:35:57.440 If only half of it's true.
00:35:59.940 Now, some of us have said for a while that we would know immediately when the CIA decided to turn on Biden and they needed to make a change.
00:36:10.500 And do you remember me saying that as soon as you saw Rob Reiner and Stephen King turn on him, that that was the signal?
00:36:20.880 Rob Reiner and Stephen King just turned on him.
00:36:25.220 So almost like it was coordinated, they both said we're out.
00:36:30.220 Now, they're not voting for Trump, of course, but they're saying, uh-oh, we need a new candidate.
00:36:38.520 Coincidence?
00:36:40.500 Rob Reiner has some contacts in the CIA.
00:36:44.760 He's the head of some group that has two of the ex-CIA groups in it, heads in it.
00:36:51.040 So he's very connected.
00:36:52.940 We know that from public documents.
00:36:54.760 You don't have to know research needed.
00:36:58.480 So to me, it looks like those two are off the sinking ship.
00:37:04.540 Now, this gets us to our dead pool, the pool of who would be the most ridiculous celebrity who would be the last one to abandon Biden when it's so obviously he's mentally deranged.
00:37:17.360 And I'm going to go still, this is my original guess, with Punchy De Niro.
00:37:22.920 And the reason is, I don't think he's a political asset.
00:37:27.700 I don't think he's an intelligence asset.
00:37:30.180 I think he's just crazy.
00:37:32.580 And so I don't think that mentally he can change his mind.
00:37:37.520 It may be just too hard.
00:37:38.620 So I still have him as the last celebrity who will abandon Biden just because his level of crazy looks different than the others.
00:37:48.220 All right.
00:37:51.980 Let's see.
00:37:52.780 What else is going on here?
00:37:55.140 In Semaphore, the publication Semaphore, there's talk about having a blitz primary, you know, a rapid fire primary to get Biden replaced.
00:38:07.480 You know what the problem with that is?
00:38:09.720 That even today, Biden did a detailed letter announcement saying he's not quitting.
00:38:16.000 He's definitely not quitting.
00:38:18.400 Now, here's the problem.
00:38:20.240 It really is sort of up to him unless they kill him, unless they actually Kennedy him.
00:38:26.380 It's him.
00:38:28.360 So, you know, I think there's a good chance the CIA will murder Biden, maybe make it look like an accident, you know, take him to the hospital, give him a shot sort of thing.
00:38:39.220 So I'd say that the odds of Biden surviving to Election Day would be high.
00:38:47.160 If you're just talking about him being alive in his normal way, his brain would be gone.
00:38:53.500 But I think he'd be alive by Election Day, probably.
00:38:56.500 However, I think it's more like a coin flip.
00:38:59.560 I think the odds of the CIA killing him just to make sure that they have time to put somebody else in there.
00:39:06.240 It's pretty good.
00:39:07.680 It's pretty good.
00:39:08.260 Maybe, maybe 50% chance they'll kill him.
00:39:11.820 Now, I'm not in favor of that.
00:39:13.300 If I say it casually, it's because that's the world we live in.
00:39:16.860 The reason I say it casually is that is the world we live in.
00:39:21.120 That's not a fantasy.
00:39:23.300 There, by now, there must be, guaranteed, conversations in the government about killing him.
00:39:29.620 Because if they killed two Kennedys, and if they took Nixon out, and they clearly tried to take Trump out, these are all intelligence assets, what would stop them from killing him?
00:39:41.680 We all expect he's going to die soon.
00:39:44.580 So you think if we heard that he had a heart attack on Air Force One, and then the CIA controlled whoever does the autopsy, you don't think they could get away with that?
00:39:56.120 How hard would it be?
00:39:57.220 Just give him a shot or something and control the autopsy.
00:40:01.680 That's it.
00:40:02.680 It's not even hard.
00:40:04.340 You could murder him so easily.
00:40:06.960 Just give him a little shot, control the autopsy, say, oh, doctors say totally normal.
00:40:12.900 Man that age, completely expected he would have a heart attack.
00:40:17.260 So if he dies suddenly, without a long illness, it's going to look like murder to me.
00:40:25.720 You've been warned.
00:40:28.540 So I'd say that's a coin flip.
00:40:33.180 And I don't think that there's time for any blitz primary.
00:40:36.540 I don't think Biden's going to quit.
00:40:39.320 And I'm going to go with Van Jones.
00:40:41.480 I think I said it before he did.
00:40:45.100 But Van Jones is saying now that Kamala is the candidate to one way or the other.
00:40:50.300 And people just have to sort of wrap their heads around it.
00:40:53.760 She's either going to be raised up to president, which Van would call the easy way.
00:40:58.600 Meaning if she could take over now, then it's a more natural transition to be the candidate because she would be the president.
00:41:06.740 It's natural.
00:41:07.940 She would have control of the funds.
00:41:10.440 You wouldn't have to do much work.
00:41:14.220 You know, it'd be fairly easy.
00:41:15.740 It'd be the easiest transition.
00:41:17.380 But Van says if you can't do it the easy way, which is Biden steps aside, you're going to have to do it the hard way, which is Biden's at the top of the ticket, but you convince people to vote because they're voting for Kamala.
00:41:34.480 Does that sound familiar?
00:41:36.040 That's my prediction.
00:41:37.000 My prediction is that when you flip the coin, it's going to land on the edge and stay there, meaning that we're going to have the Schrodinger's candidate, one dead and one alive, and you'll disagree on who you're voting for.
00:41:51.580 So two Democrats will walk into the voting booth.
00:41:54.640 They'll both vote for the Democratic candidate for president.
00:41:57.760 One will walk out thinking he voted for Biden.
00:42:01.380 The other one will walk out thinking he voted for Kamala Harris.
00:42:05.560 It'll be the same vote.
00:42:07.000 Schrodinger's candidate.
00:42:11.000 It's coming.
00:42:12.340 And on paper, there's no other way it can go.
00:42:15.320 I was listening, like I said, the all-in pod, which is so influential.
00:42:19.540 I was listening to David Sachs say essentially the same thing, that there's the design of the current system.
00:42:26.520 There isn't any way it's going to go a different way.
00:42:29.080 You know, you could say there's a wild card that, you know, Biden has a health situation that's worse than we've seen.
00:42:36.040 And that's possible.
00:42:37.760 But in all roads, Kamala becomes the candidate.
00:42:40.780 So there is no road where she doesn't become the candidate.
00:42:44.380 So everybody who's doing, as Sachs calls it, wish casting, where you do the thing.
00:42:51.060 Okay.
00:42:52.020 And then Madonna comes in with Oprah.
00:42:56.360 And between the two of them, they talk Michelle Obama into running.
00:43:00.020 And no, no, none of that is going to happen.
00:43:04.920 They don't have the time.
00:43:06.540 They don't have the will.
00:43:07.560 They don't have the ability.
00:43:08.840 But more importantly, they don't have the need.
00:43:11.400 They don't need to do anything.
00:43:15.140 Because their one and only acceptable situation, because the base wouldn't allow anything else, is that the DEI hire, Kamala, can't be skipped over.
00:43:26.340 So she's got the money, she's got the DEI hire, she's got the job.
00:43:33.080 It's her.
00:43:34.740 If you're fantasizing it's somebody else, stop.
00:43:38.520 And if you say to yourself, oh, but they would never do that, because, you know, she's such a bad candidate.
00:43:46.760 Are you kidding?
00:43:48.780 Have you been paying attention?
00:43:51.960 They ran Biden.
00:43:54.300 You don't think that they're worried?
00:43:56.360 You don't think that they'd run Kamala, just because she's the second worst candidate of all time?
00:44:02.220 Well, every bit of indication is that they do want a weak, hollowed-out president, like Kamala Harris, as long as she's on their team.
00:44:14.900 That's all that matters.
00:44:16.300 And they'll handle the rest.
00:44:18.560 The fact that the stock market doesn't even react to the fact that we have two mentally incapable people vying for the top position, I'm talking about the two Democrats here.
00:44:29.060 The fact that it doesn't even react, it's kind of a general acknowledgement that the important people, the ones with all the money, don't really think the president's that important in the final analysis.

00:44:56.940 All right.
00:45:00.020 Who else wants Biden to leave?
00:45:02.680 Let's see.
00:45:05.900 You've got Jerry Nadler saying that Biden should leave.
00:45:11.480 Now, if you're looking for signals that things have gone far enough, when Jerry Nadler says somebody should get out of politics for health reasons,
00:45:23.260 Jerry Nadler saying he should drop out for health reasons, I mean, what's left?
00:45:34.880 Adam Schiff no longer supporting him.
00:45:37.220 What do you know when you know Adam Schiff is no longer supporting Biden?
00:45:42.160 He didn't say drop out.
00:45:44.580 Schiff is just playing it shifty.
00:45:46.460 He's sort of noncommittal at this point.
00:45:48.900 What's that tell you?
00:45:50.860 Well, would you expect that Adam Schiff is a regular Democrat?
00:45:54.680 No, he's one of the liars.
00:45:59.200 He's the pro liars.
00:46:00.860 He's not as bad as Jamie Raskin, opposite man.
00:46:04.180 When they send the opposite man out, it's so he can tell you the opposite of what's true.
00:46:09.700 It's all he does.
00:46:11.060 He doesn't ever do anything with nuance.
00:46:12.720 It's like, did it rain today?
00:46:14.740 No, it did not rain today.
00:46:16.600 Well, why is everything wet?
00:46:18.300 Why are the clouds dropping these things that look like wet things?
00:46:24.360 Well, but there's no water today.
00:46:25.880 Everybody can see it.
00:46:26.740 He's just opposite man.
00:46:28.460 Just like when they send out worse than Watergate guy, it's not because he has good opinions.
00:46:34.920 It's because they need the worse than Watergate guy.
00:46:37.620 So opposite man and worse than Watergate guy.
00:46:39.900 If you see them both come out, then the media is hiding a big one.
00:46:43.760 And Adam Schiff, I think, based on his actions, appears to be just an intelligence asset.
00:46:50.420 Would you agree?
00:46:51.640 Now, the only reason I say that is the way he acts.
00:46:55.000 He does things that don't look like a regular politician.
00:46:58.540 And he's also one of the ones who will go into the skiff and tell you that he saw something that wasn't there.
00:47:05.580 I mean, that's pretty deep criminality without actually being illegal, I guess.
00:47:11.080 So there's no way he's a regular politician, right?
00:47:15.520 He's got some kind of connections with the intelligence community.
00:47:19.020 Otherwise, I can't imagine he'd even be there.
00:47:21.560 So if you're losing those guys and you're losing Rob Reiner and Stephen King, it would seem that the intelligence community has decided they want Biden out.
00:47:34.140 But I think they want Kamala Harris in.
00:47:36.880 So don't expect to see a rapid primary.
00:47:40.380 Very unlikely.
00:47:43.880 Boeing has pleaded guilty to criminal fraud for a couple of airplane crashes in which they conspired to defraud the government.
00:47:55.320 So I guess they lied to the government about maybe the details of that situation.
00:47:59.800 So that's going to cost them $243 million, which they'll make back in 10 minutes because the military industrial complex will give them a $10 billion deal.
00:48:14.220 And then they'll be able to pay their fine to the government.
00:48:17.340 So I just assume all that's crooked.
00:48:20.120 I don't know that.
00:48:20.820 I just assume.
00:48:21.980 Well, over in France, I've been trying to figure out what's going on over there because it's a confusing place.
00:48:27.840 But here's what I understand.
00:48:30.580 You have multiple parties, not just two.
00:48:34.220 So Macron's party was one of three that were, let's say, roughly equally powerful.
00:48:40.120 But his was in power.
00:48:42.040 People didn't like him.
00:48:43.620 The people on the right didn't like him.
00:48:45.220 The people on the far left didn't like him.
00:48:47.720 And so there was an election.
00:48:49.560 And the one with the most votes was the one on the far right.
00:48:53.500 But their system apparently has some kind of runoff situation.
00:48:56.860 And what happened was the people on the far left teamed up with, I guess, Macron's group so that they could pick their own leader.
00:49:08.220 So basically, if you add the two lesser loved groups together, they would have more powerful than the one group that's the most powerful.
00:49:19.460 Similar to how Fox News is the biggest news entity in the United States.
00:49:24.540 But if you looked at it compared to all the other entities, they all lean the other direction.
00:49:30.620 So it doesn't matter that Fox is the biggest.
00:49:33.840 It matters that they've got so many that they're still bigger.
00:49:36.960 They can drown out Fox News.
00:49:38.840 So it's one of those situations.
00:49:40.140 So, in other words, France managed to create a system that on paper would guarantee the destruction of their country on paper.
00:49:51.500 That you could do this kind of thing, which is give the public exactly what they didn't ask for.
00:49:59.720 It's exactly what they didn't ask for is what they got.
00:50:02.920 And the group coming in apparently is pro-immigration.
00:50:07.260 So they could have more immigration, not less.
00:50:09.980 It was the main thing that activated them to be so excited about an election in the first place.
00:50:14.080 And why they voted by very large numbers in favor of the losing group, even though they got the most votes.
00:50:22.940 So their system is pretty messed up.
00:50:26.060 And the current thinking is that they've created a logjam in their own government, which will guarantee they'll never be able to do anything good again.
00:50:35.020 And immigration will just destroy them.
00:50:38.320 Now, why is France destroying itself?
00:50:40.600 Do you think it's batshit crazy women there, too?
00:50:45.740 Because I can't understand men doing it.
00:50:48.300 It's just not a male thing to do.
00:50:50.200 Men don't open their borders unless there's some woman behind them that's agitating for it.
00:50:57.600 Yeah, I don't really understand it at all.
00:51:00.580 So, France is dead.
00:51:04.960 Or, as I like to say, I like to make this historical reference.
00:51:08.960 Lafayette, we're over there.
00:51:14.800 All right.
00:51:15.380 How many thought that was funny?
00:51:17.800 Lafayette, we'll be over there.
00:51:22.100 No?
00:51:22.920 Okay.
00:51:24.060 All right.
00:51:24.440 There's a whole new round of brain-dead Biden videos, my favorites, where he's mumbling and looking like he's lost.
00:51:34.340 And, seriously, people, no joke.
00:51:36.360 No joke.
00:51:36.960 Ah, no joke.
00:51:38.000 And then he tells them lies and says, no joke.
00:51:39.960 And then he brags about his ice cream and his Ray-Bans, and he tells his three dementia stories.
00:51:46.600 Do you remember the story about how when Biden was done with this disastrous debate, he met with his supporters right after?
00:51:55.140 And he seemed to be talking coherently somewhat to the supporters.
00:52:01.100 And you said to yourself, wait a minute, why is he suddenly kind of coherent?
00:52:08.260 Did he recognize the story he told?
00:52:12.440 He was telling one of his pocket stories, one of the stories he just tells all the time.
00:52:18.520 I forget which one, but it was one of his standard stories.
00:52:21.440 And if you're a dementia patient, I'll take a fact check on this, I'm no expert, but don't you have long-term memory?
00:52:30.440 In other words, aren't you the most functional when you're telling a story that you've been telling for 50 years?
00:52:36.040 I think so.
00:52:37.900 I think you have trouble with stuff that happened this week, but if you've been telling a story for 50 years, you can probably go to it.
00:52:44.220 So I think that when he got off stage where everything was unknown, what the question would be, you know, it was like a Wild West situation.
00:52:54.740 As soon as he got off stage, he just, they just probably said, and by the way, I don't think it was his idea.
00:53:00.980 I think somebody whispered in his ear, Joe, just, just tell that, you know, story three, just tell story three.
00:53:07.960 Oh, yeah, story three.
00:53:09.420 Oh, I remember.
00:53:10.920 And then he makes up that same story.
00:53:14.220 So look for him doing, whenever he's talking about something that happened a long time ago, look for him to look coherent, even though it's just an old man story.
00:53:26.080 But anytime he has to think on his feet, it's going to be a disaster.
00:53:33.040 Biden's doctor has been called in by Congress.
00:53:36.660 Apparently, Biden's doctor had allegedly some involvement in the Biden crime family income.
00:53:44.220 Did you ever wonder, how did you get a White House doctor that was not going to out the president for having dementia?
00:53:52.920 How loyal would you have to be that you would violate your, your oath?
00:53:58.660 I mean, clearly he's violating his oath.
00:54:00.520 Wouldn't you agree?
00:54:01.800 Is it safe to say that the White House doctor has clearly violated his oath?
00:54:05.640 I mean, he's doing harm.
00:54:08.260 He's doing harm to the country, doing harm to the patient.
00:54:11.920 I mean, you couldn't violate your oath any harder than that, because obviously he knew what the situation was.
00:54:17.100 Obviously, he has been lying.
00:54:19.360 Right?
00:54:20.520 Obviously.
00:54:21.240 I don't think there's any doubt about it.
00:54:22.640 So now he's being called in to, to be questioned, because there's some allegation that he received the money through the Biden crime family situation, which would explain everything.
00:54:35.100 If true.
00:54:35.920 There's a story that I wouldn't say is validated, but there's some individual who claims to have access to secret knowledge about what happened on Air Force One.
00:54:49.080 And allegedly there was a medical emergency in which Biden was hallucinating and they had to, I don't know, give him an antipsychotic or something.
00:54:58.780 I would say the odds of that being true are not zero, but I wouldn't give it a lot of credibility.
00:55:10.340 It's the kind of story that if you heard it about Trump, I would be saying, and who's the source?
00:55:15.980 And you'd say, well, anonymous source.
00:55:18.220 And then I would say, exactly.
00:55:20.780 Yeah.
00:55:21.060 Oh, an anonymous source says the worst possible thing happened when nobody was looking.
00:55:26.200 That's the story.
00:55:27.700 Really?
00:55:28.780 It's always, it's always the worst thing when nobody's looking.
00:55:34.140 So.
00:55:36.580 If I had, if I had to bet on it, I'd bet against it being true.
00:55:41.280 But maybe only a 60-40.
00:55:44.080 Because there's a good chance he's having medical situations we don't know about.
00:55:49.320 Well, Biden says he's good for employment, but he did get one black woman fired from her job.
00:55:55.640 Apparently, the radio station in Philadelphia, in which he did a friendly interview recently, and the questions were given to the host to ask him.
00:56:08.060 And she actually asked four of the eight questions that they gave her, and she got fired.
00:56:13.600 But I don't think that's fair as a person who's worked in the media.
00:56:21.020 I don't think that the host who used the four questions should be fired.
00:56:27.140 Because it isn't that unusual.
00:56:31.920 I don't think it was meant to be a hard-hitting interview.
00:56:34.360 It was meant to be a friendly.
00:56:35.660 And those are fine.
00:56:36.960 There's nothing wrong with doing a friendly interview.
00:56:39.700 Right?
00:56:40.260 Sean Hannity talks to Trump.
00:56:41.840 You don't see me bitching about that.
00:56:43.700 Right?
00:56:43.900 As long as there's also some hard ones.
00:56:46.780 You know, do all the friendly ones you want.
00:56:48.260 That's not a problem.
00:56:49.320 So to be fired for doing a friendly interview, and then also being honest.
00:56:54.460 Also being honest.
00:56:56.200 She said, yeah, I got the questions.
00:56:58.400 I picked four of them.
00:57:00.280 She didn't hide anything.
00:57:03.940 Why did she get fired?
00:57:05.020 I think she got fired for being honest.
00:57:08.420 I don't think she got fired for using the questions.
00:57:11.480 What do you think?
00:57:12.860 I think she deserves her job back.
00:57:15.520 I don't think this is an appropriate firing whatsoever.
00:57:19.180 Now, it's a business decision, so they might have gotten so much heat they just had to do it.
00:57:23.860 But I think this is totally unfair.
00:57:27.700 And I think that the host should be rehired, and they should apologize.
00:57:31.360 Because what she did wasn't that far outside of normal behavior.
00:57:36.900 It was certainly not a firing offense.
00:57:39.080 And talking, I think she got fired for talking about it.
00:57:41.980 I don't think she got fired for doing it.
00:57:43.460 I think she got fired for talking about it.
00:57:45.300 They said it's for doing it.
00:57:47.180 But I don't think that's real.
00:57:49.520 Yeah, no, that's unfair.
00:57:50.720 She should be hired back.
00:57:53.540 Searchlight Pictures presents The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.
00:57:57.720 From the director of Meet the Parents and the writer of Poor Things,
00:58:01.080 comes The Roses, starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman,
00:58:05.240 Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney.
00:58:10.620 A hilarious new comedy filled with drama, excitement, and a little bit of hatred,
00:58:15.340 proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses.
00:58:18.600 See The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.
00:58:21.360 Get tickets now.
00:58:26.740 Anyway, let's see.
00:58:28.800 What else we got going on here in this big old day?
00:58:33.300 Have you noticed that the biggest problem in the country is the debt crisis,
00:58:36.700 and neither candidate has any idea what to do about it?
00:58:40.380 Shouldn't we be worried about that?
00:58:43.120 That we have one obvious existential problem.
00:58:47.420 But here's what I wonder about.
00:58:49.420 I wonder if there's somebody somewhere in the government
00:58:51.860 who has figured out it's not the problem we think it is.
00:58:56.320 Remember I provocatively said the following?
00:58:59.760 What if you just canceled all the debt?
00:59:03.280 Just cancel it.
00:59:05.000 Just say, I know we're not going to pay.
00:59:06.840 Now, I'm not recommending it.
00:59:08.260 This is just a mental process.
00:59:10.080 Who would lose the money?
00:59:11.300 Are there any poor people who have government debt?
00:59:17.620 I doubt it.
00:59:20.260 The last thing you're going to...
00:59:21.880 If you're poor, you're not buying government bonds.
00:59:25.960 So who does?
00:59:27.480 Let's say you're a middle class person who wants to invest.
00:59:33.160 Where do you put your money?
00:59:35.040 Not in government bonds.
00:59:37.280 Probably have it in the stock market or real estate or something like that.
00:59:41.320 So then you keep going.
00:59:42.500 All right, rich people.
00:59:44.840 Rich people who have more money than they need to employ at the moment
00:59:48.580 might park it in bonds just because it won't go wildly up or down.
00:59:53.360 It's just sort of a safe place to park some money.
00:59:56.200 It's all the parked money.
00:59:58.680 What would happen if you just said,
01:00:00.540 all right, it's all gone.
01:00:01.840 We're not paying.
01:00:02.880 I'm not recommending it.
01:00:03.900 And I'm not predicting it.
01:00:05.420 I'm just working through the how much of a risk are we really at?
01:00:08.920 It's mostly going to be foreign governments
01:00:12.360 who are parking money that they didn't need.
01:00:17.540 Am I wrong?
01:00:19.280 You wouldn't put it there unless you didn't need it.
01:00:22.680 That's the place you put the money you don't need.
01:00:24.720 So this is the most provocative question in the country.
01:00:30.560 But what would happen if we just said we're not paying it back?
01:00:34.800 Who would be out?
01:00:36.380 It would be people who didn't get back the money that they didn't need
01:00:41.200 because if they needed it, it wouldn't be there in the first place.
01:00:43.720 Now, they would become instantly poorer.
01:00:48.600 You know, their buying power would go down.
01:00:50.840 But you might even be able to, you know, work it out
01:00:53.640 so there's some gradual payback or something.
01:00:56.120 All right, now let's take a hybrid.
01:00:59.040 How about we say, we're not going to pay you back in dollars.
01:01:02.700 We're only going to pay you back in crypto that we just made up.
01:01:06.160 And if you don't think it's worth anything,
01:01:08.500 well, maybe it is worth something
01:01:09.880 because we'll take it in payment for taxes.
01:01:11.560 So you can always exchange it to somebody
01:01:13.860 who wants to use it in payment for taxes.
01:01:15.760 You might have to give up 5% just for the convenience or something.
01:01:20.900 But you'll basically get most of your money back.
01:01:23.780 And you'll get it back in the timing you were going to
01:01:26.380 when the vehicles mature.
01:01:30.540 Maybe you'd have to limit how much they could sell right away
01:01:33.060 because you wouldn't want people, you know,
01:01:35.200 liquidating the entire trillions and trillions.
01:01:38.460 You'd want them to do it in an orderly fashion.
01:01:40.600 Now, the effect of that would be to inflate it away, right?
01:01:46.580 Because if you introduce this new money out of nowhere,
01:01:49.780 it's sort of creating money out of nothing.
01:01:52.700 If you pay back all the loans, you've added money to the system.
01:01:55.940 But you would be adding it in a fairly orderly way.
01:01:59.380 And it would eliminate what is close to a trillion dollars a year
01:02:03.860 in interest payments.
01:02:05.340 Which, by the way, still leaves us with a trillion dollars a year deficit.
01:02:10.420 We're still adding to the debt two trillion a year.
01:02:13.100 That's the new numbers.
01:02:14.620 If we took all the debt out, all the interest payments,
01:02:18.460 it would take a trillion dollars off of our budget.
01:02:21.900 And we wouldn't be anywhere near a balanced budget.
01:02:26.200 Only halfway there.
01:02:27.400 Now, if we got down to one trillion deficit
01:02:31.080 and somehow we magically took care of the 35 trillion that's already out there
01:02:35.820 with some kind of crypto magic trick,
01:02:38.900 could you survive with a trillion dollar a year deficit?
01:02:45.900 No.
01:02:47.040 No, you couldn't.
01:02:48.400 No, you can't.
01:02:49.360 No, you would have to do something still radical to make that go away.
01:02:54.700 Now, radical could be growth.
01:02:57.420 For example, you could easily imagine that Trump comes in and he says,
01:03:02.200 I'm not going to raise your taxes,
01:03:04.560 but I'm going to raise taxes on robots.
01:03:09.420 Now, the public wouldn't even quite understand that.
01:03:13.560 They'd say, look, the robots are going to take your jobs.
01:03:15.940 And anybody who can afford to have a robot is rich.
01:03:21.580 So if you buy or sell a robot, there's going to be an extra tax on there
01:03:25.280 or maybe even an ongoing tax on robots.
01:03:28.120 And that tax will help us get rid of that deficit.
01:03:34.400 Because a robot, in theory, should be so much more productive
01:03:39.640 that you could pay a 10% tax on it and still be way ahead.
01:03:45.120 You know, you're not going to come out.
01:03:46.980 Now, is everything I said sensible?
01:03:49.780 I doubt it.
01:03:51.740 Would any of what I said work?
01:03:54.640 Probably not.
01:03:56.300 But here's what I'm adding.
01:04:00.700 If I've never described this before,
01:04:02.960 let me describe it for you for the first time if you haven't heard this.
01:04:06.300 One of the things that people like me can add to the system,
01:04:10.220 the system being the country in this context,
01:04:13.380 what I add to the system is allowing you to think in a wider way than you are.
01:04:20.220 For example, when the pandemic first hit,
01:04:24.000 I was among the first public figures,
01:04:26.580 I think Jack Posobiec was there too,
01:04:28.720 saying we need to close travel from China.
01:04:32.140 Do you know why I was doing it so loudly and screaming it?
01:04:35.820 Well, because it was an idea that people couldn't quite imagine as a possibility.
01:04:40.740 So somebody who's got less to lose and no sense of shame needs to go out there and scream the thing
01:04:47.980 that seems impossible for anybody to even consider.
01:04:50.960 Because until you consider it, you can't possibly do it.
01:04:55.320 So you have to get used to considering something that's way outside the realm of ordinary.
01:04:59.980 If you need to do something way outside the realm of ordinary.
01:05:04.000 And when it comes to our deficit, there is no ordinary solution.
01:05:08.660 You're going to have to do something you never did before,
01:05:11.360 would never consider ordinarily,
01:05:13.480 is one time ever,
01:05:15.460 and is so wildly improbable
01:05:17.220 that even when I describe it,
01:05:19.260 you shake your head and go,
01:05:20.340 I don't know about that.
01:05:22.260 That sounds like it's coming with a lot of problems.
01:05:24.420 So the thing I can add is just make you think
01:05:28.700 maybe there's some third way.
01:05:31.360 Maybe there's a crypto magic way.
01:05:33.460 It wouldn't be perfect.
01:05:34.920 It wouldn't be perfect.
01:05:36.400 But is there some other way?
01:05:38.040 And if the only thing it does
01:05:39.540 is make you say,
01:05:40.880 Scott, your idea is stupid for 10 reasons.
01:05:43.540 But you know what?
01:05:44.720 It does make me think of something that might work.
01:05:47.160 Let me run this by you.
01:05:49.400 That's what we're doing.
01:05:50.700 We're just brainstorming.
01:05:52.220 And in addition to brainstorming,
01:05:55.180 we're moving the envelope a little bigger
01:05:56.960 so that the people who can make decisions
01:05:59.560 and do know what they're talking about,
01:06:01.200 you know, let's say Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon,
01:06:04.540 you know, somebody who knows what they're talking about,
01:06:06.320 maybe they can come in and say,
01:06:07.560 you know what?
01:06:07.880 That's a terrible idea, Scott.
01:06:10.600 But as long as you've stretched the envelope,
01:06:14.200 now I can talk about my idea.
01:06:16.880 It would have sounded batshit crazy
01:06:18.700 until you were even crazier than I was.
01:06:21.200 You know, once you've set the standard of crazy,
01:06:24.160 now I've got a place to play in.
01:06:27.300 Yeah, this phenomenon is very useful.
01:06:29.980 Let me give you another example.
01:06:31.680 I always talk about my favorite news program on TV,
01:06:35.220 The Five, on Fox News.
01:06:40.100 And one of the things I love about watching it
01:06:42.740 is the design of the show.
01:06:45.020 I always say the producers of Fox News are just the best.
01:06:48.980 And one of the things they do really well
01:06:51.500 is designing shows.
01:06:54.500 Who they put with who, you know,
01:06:56.540 the groups of people that are on there,
01:06:58.040 it's very good.
01:06:59.420 And one of the things that makes The Five
01:07:02.700 just so much better than other shows, honestly,
01:07:06.940 is Greg Gottfeld.
01:07:08.160 And what Gottfeld does is he always is stretching the limit
01:07:13.720 of what you should say on TV
01:07:15.600 and what you should say during a politically oriented show,
01:07:19.860 which allows all the other people
01:07:22.780 to play in the playground that he defines.
01:07:25.600 Because he takes the big risk and says,
01:07:27.920 I'm going to say this.
01:07:29.160 And then you can say something
01:07:30.500 that you wouldn't have said before.
01:07:31.920 But if Gottfeld hasn't been fired yet,
01:07:35.520 you're probably safe.
01:07:37.920 And you can see that effect playing out
01:07:40.720 and just really obviously.
01:07:43.140 So Gottfeld defines the space
01:07:45.920 and keeps increasing it.
01:07:47.560 You know, he's making it bigger and bigger.
01:07:49.160 And then you see the other people
01:07:51.460 who are great at what they do,
01:07:53.520 but they're not necessarily the boundary stretchers.
01:07:56.740 So that team of five has one boundary stretcher.
01:08:03.520 And then between Dana Perino and Jesse Waters
01:08:06.520 and whoever, you know, then the judge
01:08:08.620 and whoever else is on there,
01:08:09.820 they can play within that space
01:08:11.940 and they're much safer and freer to do all that.
01:08:15.920 It's the same thing.
01:08:16.980 I think Trump does this as well.
01:08:19.540 When Trump says, I'm going to close the border
01:08:21.940 and, you know, build a wall and all that,
01:08:24.420 whatever the extreme stuff is,
01:08:25.740 he makes the boundary of what is
01:08:27.820 in the conversation bigger.
01:08:30.340 And then the normal people can come in,
01:08:32.680 you know, the Rubios and the governors of Texas
01:08:35.080 and, you know, the people like that.
01:08:37.760 Then they can come in,
01:08:38.900 they've got a bigger play space.
01:08:41.260 But somebody has to stretch it.
01:08:43.720 You know, I'm doing it here.
01:08:45.540 Gottfeld does it on the five.
01:08:47.680 Trump does it in politics.
01:08:49.360 You need a stretcher
01:08:50.640 and then you need really capable people
01:08:52.860 who can play in that new playground.
01:08:54.300 So that's what's happening.
01:08:56.680 All right.
01:08:59.780 And that, ladies and gentlemen,
01:09:01.400 is a conclusion
01:09:03.640 of the greatest live stream
01:09:06.480 you're going to see all morning.
01:09:09.180 And
01:09:09.520 if you'd like to know what else is going on,
01:09:13.600 let's check the stock market.
01:09:16.520 Tesla's up.
01:09:18.000 Nvidia's up.
01:09:19.080 Nano nuclear energy is up another 11%.
01:09:24.480 So I sold too soon.
01:09:29.380 Let's see what else is happening.
01:09:30.900 Bitcoin's down.
01:09:32.540 So Bitcoin's had a rough month.
01:09:34.480 And the S&P is up just a tiny, tiny bit
01:09:39.980 and Apple's falling back a little bit.
01:09:42.280 Not much.
01:09:43.080 I mean, 0.1.
01:09:44.780 So the story on Apple is
01:09:46.580 their next update
01:09:47.860 will not have a new version of SIRI.
01:09:52.680 I can't say it
01:09:53.660 because my phone's in my hand.
01:09:56.300 That they will have AI
01:09:57.840 in their new release
01:10:00.000 that's coming out soon
01:10:00.960 in the fall.
01:10:02.400 But you're going to have to wait
01:10:04.120 till the spring,
01:10:05.300 some people are saying,
01:10:06.480 for the main voice
01:10:09.180 of your Apple phone
01:10:10.220 to be updated
01:10:10.880 into an AI context.
01:10:14.060 That's a really long time.
01:10:17.100 And, you know,
01:10:18.060 I hate to bet against Apple,
01:10:20.620 but, boy, are they vulnerable
01:10:23.140 to somebody coming in
01:10:24.220 with an AI native phone.
01:10:26.480 You know, one that was built
01:10:27.440 to be an AI phone
01:10:28.860 from the ground up.
01:10:30.300 And maybe it's connected
01:10:32.160 to Starlink.
01:10:36.840 Maybe.
01:10:37.920 You never know.
01:10:39.640 So that's what's happening today,
01:10:41.240 ladies and gentlemen.
01:10:42.740 That's the end of my show.
01:10:44.080 I'm going to go talk
01:10:44.740 to the local subscribers,
01:10:47.580 as I always do.
01:10:49.680 And thanks on X
01:10:51.440 and on Rumble
01:10:52.300 and on YouTube.
01:10:54.000 By the way,
01:10:54.600 thank you to Rumble
01:10:55.480 because when I do good shows,
01:10:59.160 my Rumble numbers are way up.
01:11:00.780 So on Rumble,
01:11:02.840 which is way, way smaller
01:11:04.320 than YouTube,
01:11:05.740 if I have a, you know,
01:11:07.040 a pretty good show
01:11:07.980 that people want to show,
01:11:08.940 I might get 10,000 viewers.
01:11:12.000 On YouTube,
01:11:14.680 I'll get reliably
01:11:16.020 about 30,000.
01:11:17.640 Not live,
01:11:18.500 but watching the recorded version
01:11:20.140 as well.
01:11:20.540 If I do a great show
01:11:23.440 on YouTube,
01:11:25.660 I'll get 31,000 viewers.
01:11:28.700 It'll go from 30,000
01:11:30.160 to 31
01:11:30.700 if I really nail it.
01:11:32.940 On Rumble,
01:11:33.680 if I have a good show,
01:11:35.080 it goes from 9,000
01:11:36.120 to 75,000.
01:11:38.320 You know,
01:11:39.220 like the actual
01:11:40.340 real market
01:11:41.280 should work.
01:11:42.580 Like if somebody likes it,
01:11:44.100 they recommend it
01:11:44.820 and then more people see it.
01:11:46.220 You know,
01:11:46.440 the way actually
01:11:47.280 things should work.
01:11:48.140 But for some reason
01:11:49.880 that I just can't figure out
01:11:52.020 my YouTube numbers
01:11:53.660 just always say the same.
01:11:56.180 And weirdly,
01:11:57.180 even as my number
01:11:58.340 of subscribers
01:11:59.380 has zoomed from,
01:12:01.640 you know,
01:12:02.800 10,000
01:12:03.520 to over,
01:12:05.180 what,
01:12:05.960 165,000 now?
01:12:08.660 165,000 subscribers
01:12:10.700 and my average
01:12:13.340 daily number of viewers
01:12:14.560 flat
01:12:15.600 for years.
01:12:17.500 totally natural,
01:12:19.940 right?
01:12:21.140 When my
01:12:21.700 Twitter slash
01:12:23.140 X numbers
01:12:24.000 went from
01:12:24.700 nothing
01:12:25.300 to 1.1 million.
01:12:28.700 My local
01:12:29.700 subscribers
01:12:30.360 went from
01:12:30.980 nothing
01:12:31.500 to over
01:12:33.420 11,000
01:12:34.240 and growing
01:12:36.100 every day.
01:12:37.640 But my YouTube
01:12:38.240 channel,
01:12:38.920 that YouTube
01:12:40.100 traffic
01:12:40.640 just
01:12:42.480 stays about
01:12:43.080 the same.
01:12:44.240 Now,
01:12:44.700 just to be
01:12:45.600 technical,
01:12:46.240 a couple of them
01:12:46.920 did go bigger.
01:12:48.720 But it was rare.
01:12:50.760 Yeah,
01:12:50.980 it was rare.
01:12:52.560 So keep an eye
01:12:53.560 on that.
01:12:53.940 Anyway,
01:12:54.360 so I'm going to go
01:12:55.160 talk to the locals
01:12:55.840 people.
01:12:56.380 Thanks on,
01:12:57.060 thanks Rumble
01:12:57.540 and X
01:12:58.020 and YouTube
