The golden age of goodness is just seeping out of there. It s in my pores now, people. It's in your pores. Did you know that an extra 5 minutes of exercise a day could lower your blood pressure? That s right, you only need 5 minutes a day.
00:02:33.040If you don't say that was fun, I feel great, then you probably went too long or maybe not long enough.
00:02:40.180But there's that sweet spot where you don't work, you don't kill yourself, but you're just putting a little effort out there, getting some sun, some fresh air.
00:02:54.020There's a study from Ohio State University highlighting the pervasiveness of inflammation in our diet.
00:03:03.760Did you know that 60% of Americans have what they call a pro-inflammatory diet?
00:03:10.560I've told you this story before, but for a number of years recently, I thought old age had caught up with me, and now everything hurts all the time.
00:03:20.700So my muscles hurt, it seems like my joints hurt, things creaked and cracked, and everything was inflamed, and I just thought that's how it was.
00:03:31.300And I saw an interview on the street, somebody, some influencer was asking people randomly, what's it like to be old?
00:03:39.680And they would go up to old people in the street and say, what's it like to be old?
00:03:43.560And one of them was a guy who probably wasn't much different from my age, and he said, what's it like to be old?
00:03:49.240And the guy says, well, honestly, it's like losing a fight every day because everything hurts all the time.
00:03:57.480And I was watching it, and I thought to myself, wow, that's true.
00:05:54.200The theme for today is, oh, my God, am I impressed by the founders of this country who came up with a system some 250 years ago-ish, in which they said, if we follow these rules and this constitution, even if things go terribly off the rails, we can pull it back.
00:07:23.260Then we just become the country of lawfare.
00:07:25.680But it looks like it won't be successful.
00:07:27.720And so there again, the, you know, the monster got out of the cage.
00:07:33.840But 250 years ago, some people wrote the Constitution and it put the monster back in the cage because we elected, we elected Trump and that fixed that problem.
00:07:55.920But now, I'm not entirely sure that every one of Trump's legal problems will go away because there might be some, you know, clever evil on the other side.
00:08:04.960But at the moment, it looks like that's been corrected.
00:08:09.300And that was corrected by, here's the important point, the majority of voters.
00:09:26.460Do you know what was the basis for his bets?
00:09:30.240Guess what was the insight he used to win $50 million?
00:09:34.560His insight was, the polls are bullshit, and they're underestimating Trump's popularity.
00:09:47.500Now, I don't know if you remember in 2016, when I was somewhat famously predicting Trump would win, and I had an argument for it that made sense to some people.
00:09:59.600But it didn't seem, it seemed like a long shot.
00:10:01.860There were a number of people who got back to me later who said they won anything from $100,000 to $1 million, because they bet, based on watching my periscopes, they bet that Trump was being under-polled.
00:10:48.100So there's two movies running right now.
00:10:49.760One of them is that the polls said it would be really, really tight, and most of the polls said it would be tight at the end.
00:10:57.960And then, sure enough, we didn't know who was going to win, but it turned out, you know, Trump won, but it was within the margin of the polls, and therefore the polls were successful.
00:11:12.620That the polls were ultimately very successful, because they said it was going to be super close, and it was.
00:11:19.260And then there's the other movie that says, which one of the polls said that Trump would win so hard that he would win in the Senate, he would win in the House, and he would effectively destroy the Democratic Party while you watched?
00:11:38.880So you could actually look at this as two opposites.
00:11:44.300It's literally the same facts, and you can interpret them as opposites.
00:11:48.600One, well, they said it'd be close, and it was close.
00:11:51.740The other is, they said it'd be close, and Republicans won everything, everything that mattered.
00:11:58.420They won even the popular vote, for God's sakes.
00:12:00.880So, I don't know which of those I'm going to accept yet, but I think I'm leaning toward the pollsters were under-polling Trump, and that there were some hidden people, and I think they were men.
00:12:17.480I think the people who weren't talking to the pollsters were mostly men, and across all types.
00:12:25.820It turns out it wasn't white men, it wasn't Hispanic men, it wasn't black men, or Asian-American men.
00:12:35.740We always forget to throw in the Asian-Americans, because they just quietly are awesome all the time.
00:12:41.300So they don't cause many problems in the country, they just make money and pay taxes, so they don't get mentioned as often, but should be.
00:12:48.100Well, we think somebody made $50 million, just betting against the fake news, basically.

00:14:08.520Why settle for less when you can go for the gold at Golden Nugget Online Casino?
00:14:13.400How many of you heard or saw on social media that the number of votes that Kamala Harris will ultimately get seems to be 15 to 20 million votes short of what Biden got,
00:14:41.380and therefore, logically, we've discovered that 2020 was a stolen election, because where did 15 million voters go?
00:14:49.700Because we know that they didn't stay home.
00:14:52.260And the answer is, it's all bullshit, although that story is bullshit.
00:20:43.620There was a video that seemed to show Jake Tapper being amazed that there were no counties in the country,
00:20:50.540not a single one, in which Harris did better than Biden.
00:20:55.040It turns out that that was a Rupar, and if you'd watched the whole video, there are, in fact, I think, several dozen counties in which she did better.
00:21:05.200Now, that doesn't change the general story.
00:21:26.100But when you get taken by a hoax, I feel like we have some responsibility to the people who have been living in what I call the hoaxocracy.
00:21:34.920Like, we need to model what it looks like when you know you got taken by a hoax.
00:21:40.980You got to show how to walk yourself down from that.
00:27:44.420The single number one thing that Democrats were sure about is that there were more of them than there were of those damn disgusting, mega people.
00:27:57.080So as long as they were in the goodly, you know, the angels of the majority, they could feel pretty confident that they had the right take.
00:28:07.700And it's always the, the criminals are always the minority, right?
00:28:11.560It's like, ugh, the people, the rapists, they're the minority.
00:30:45.800I knew that if you could take down the tentpole, you know, the main pole that's holding up the tent, that all the little poles would just fall.
00:30:55.060You just had to get rid of the big one.
00:30:56.500And that's what happened for some prominent people.
00:31:03.940So, if you understand that the correct frame is that we're under a brainwashing regime, and if you can escape the brainwashing, you're likely to vote for Trump.
00:31:16.680And if you can't escape the brainwashing, you're likely to vote for whatever Democrat they put.
00:31:21.180Because the fact that they could trade out Biden and put in Harris, I mean, they're not the same at all.
00:31:30.760And the fact that they could just flip out one and flip in the other tells you that the Democrats are a machine.
00:31:37.540You're not really voting for a character or a policy.
00:31:40.100And that you're in a brainwashing environment.
00:31:45.480If you can make your relatives understand that you won't talk about policy or character, but you would be happy to talk about what things in the news are true or false, that might be a way out.
00:31:59.620And if you can at least convince them that the fine people hoax was a hoax, you should say from that, I promise you that I'm not evil.
00:32:10.560I promise you that you've been brainwashed.
00:40:38.900And then if you're in Missouri, I'm just picking a random state, or let's say you're in some state where abortion is restricted.
00:40:46.340Well, it's probably restricted because most of the people in that state like it that way.
00:40:52.580So we got this weird situation where the people in the states probably had something like exactly what they wanted, or at least what their state wanted, collectively.
00:41:01.460And it was hard to get mad about that.
00:41:04.540Oh, we have what we want in my state, but I'm really mad about Rhode Island.
00:41:10.820And it's just hard to get mad about another state.
00:42:34.080So, I'd like to also say, this would be the right time to say, that the worry that we've had about the illegal migrants, or the migrants, many of them are legal,
00:42:46.840the migrants coming in and changing the vote, doesn't look like it happened.
00:43:03.220Now, keep in mind, when people said they were worried about illegal voting, sometimes they were worried about the actual non-citizens voting.
00:43:11.740But I think we all knew that wasn't going to be a big number.
00:43:14.640We were more worried that somebody was farming their ballots so that they could put them in all at once.
00:43:21.040As far as I can tell, that didn't happen.
00:43:22.980And I think that we don't know why that didn't happen.
00:43:27.180One reason it didn't happen could be it's never happened.
00:46:55.340If you leave that part out, it all sounds different, right?
00:46:59.220You show me a strong leader who just happens to be female.
00:47:06.320Do you think I'm really going to have a problem with that?
00:47:08.160Do you think even the people in the room who said, I'd never vote for a woman, if they had some super, if they had the Trump of women, you just imagine there's a Trump of women, which there is, you know, in other places.
00:49:56.620Rick Grinnell is being one of the names kicked around for State Department.
00:50:01.820Is there even any one person, Republican, behind a closed door who is ever going to say, oh, Rick Grinnell is the wrong person for that job because he's gay?
00:50:17.860So if you don't understand this basic character about Republicans and conservatives, you're really living in a scary world because the way they talk doesn't match the way they act.
00:50:33.000The way they act is performance, performance, performance.
00:50:37.660If you've got the goods, you've got the job.
00:50:41.300And that is every conservative I've ever met.
00:51:03.120Because, you know, when men are talking to men behind closed doors, we're often attracted to whatever is the most inappropriate thing to say.
00:51:11.100So you have to understand that saying the most inappropriate thing is just part of its entertainment, if it's just man to man.
00:51:21.400James Garville says that the Democrats are going to have to fill the vacuum left in the party after Trump's win.
00:51:28.200Because the Democrats are, he says, listless and lacking leadership.
00:51:31.500Eric Gabinanti's post on this I saw, on X.
00:58:28.180Even Bernie Sanders is tough on the Democrats.
00:58:34.220He said it should come as no surprise that a Democratic Party, which has abandoned working class people, would find that the working class has abandoned them.
00:59:07.980Because that got pretty close, didn't it?
00:59:10.660You know, what's interesting is that, you know, Trump is called Bernie, crazy Bernie and stuff.
00:59:15.840But Trump has also defended Bernie against the Democrats, you know, their manipulations to keep him off the ballot.
00:59:24.160So it makes me wonder if on some level, because Bernie is a populist and Trump is a populist, do you think on some level that they appreciate each other?
01:00:49.040If you're running for office and you're a woman, you've got an advantage.
01:00:54.640If you're running for office and you're black, you've got an advantage.
01:00:59.500If you're running for office and you're black and you're a woman, you've got two advantages.
01:01:05.480Do you see the pattern I'm developing here?
01:01:09.020For every person who does say, I'm not going to vote for somebody in this other category.
01:01:16.500There are three people who say I'm going to vote for them because they're in the category.
01:01:20.860And not only because they're also in the category, but some people like me, when Obama was running, I said, you know, it'd be great to get somebody in that category.
01:02:01.800But even I thought that Obama as a president was a good idea for the country because then we could say, oh, OK, you know, we can get out of our little box a little bit and things will work out fine.
01:02:13.400So, no, there's no such thing in America as you're less likely to get elected because you're a woman or you're black.
01:02:22.540I'm pretty sure that we're close to a gay president at some point, if we haven't already had a few.
01:02:33.700And I think the country's ready for it.
01:02:36.000All it would take, all it would take is a Richard Grinnell type personality, somebody who's not making his politics about his bedroom preferences.
01:09:27.560But if you simply said, we're going to build it in a place where there are zero people.
01:09:32.140So on day one, the Palestinian world would be no people, just be, you know, a house with a fence around it.
01:09:42.300And then the people who would like to be in the peaceful place, that will be peaceful forever, with no terrorists in there, will be interviewed and vetted, etc.
01:10:39.640But you can take 100% of the people who want to live in peace and give them that opportunity.
01:10:45.740You just can't have it all in the same place.
01:10:48.380There's got to be a big, big fence that keeps the people who want to live in peace away from the people who want to hide with them and send missiles.
01:11:17.820Imagine the signal that you're sending to other countries.
01:11:20.480If your national security team is generals, the signal is, you know, war is our go-to.
01:11:29.020If your national security team are businessmen and CEOs, then your first question is, wait a minute, how do we do business with these guys?
01:11:57.200But maybe not as our face to the rest of the world.
01:12:01.900Maybe our face should be business and our backup should be bullets.
01:12:06.100According to The Hill, RFK Jr. says that maybe entire departments at the FDA have to go.
01:12:15.500This, of course, made some dentists in the comments say, I tell you as a dentist that if the FDA departments are, you know, degraded, that people will die because the FDA is keeping us safe.
01:12:27.880To which I say, let me explain this to people who do not have a experience in business.
01:12:36.700When people who have experience in business say things like, quote, entire departments need to go, that does not mean that the function that they did is going to disappear.
01:12:51.320You'd have to have no experience in the real world to think that getting rid of a department equals getting rid of what they do.
01:13:00.040The whole point of reorganizing is to still do the main mission of the organization to keep you safe, but to do it in an efficient, better engineered way where there's not, you know, cross communication, where the person in charge is qualified, you know, the ordinary stuff.
01:13:17.720So, no, getting rid of departments has nothing to do with getting rid of functions.
01:13:38.620So, the FDA would get better, not worse.
01:13:41.880You know, so don't get upset on the getting rid of whole departments.
01:13:44.800And, by the way, that's the way the real important people think.
01:13:51.800The way Elon Musk is going to, and I can say this without reading his mind, I can safely say this because above a certain level of intelligence, it would be a universally true thing to say, and he's way above that level.
01:14:05.360Above a certain level of intelligence, I can say for sure that when Elon's looking at paring back the government, he's not looking at getting rid of stuff he like.
01:14:18.380He's looking at doing it cheaper, better, and if he can't do that, he probably wouldn't change that thing.
01:14:24.600So, he's not going to go and say, let me change things because I'll make it smaller.
01:14:29.140He's going to go in and say, look at each thing.
01:15:04.640I see some articles that are already suggesting Musk will be the most powerful single citizen in the country because of his, not only his wealth, but his access to the government through his good work with Trump.
01:15:19.940And I would, it made me think of this definition of charisma, which I love to go back to.
01:16:46.340So if you give me the most powerful man in the country, and you give me somebody who's got a very clear record of empathy, oh, my God, I'm all in.
01:17:31.500While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.
01:17:44.180This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues.
01:17:52.720Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.
01:18:00.680Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling, convicted felon and fascist, debunked hoaxes, very fine people, and platitudes, democracy.
01:18:11.380She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say that what she would do differently.
01:18:15.640When she did talk about the specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump, like child tax credits, no tax and tips, border funding.
01:18:27.840On this one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump definitely got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform.
01:20:27.400The most common thing I see, whenever I see, especially black men, when they're interviewed on the street, you know, why do you like Trump?
01:20:35.120Almost every time they say, I had more money under Trump.
01:20:39.600Now, I don't even know if that's true.
01:20:41.500But certainly they have that point of view.
01:20:43.980All right, here's some potentially amazing news.
01:20:49.260Science blog says there's a sensor that could detect lung cancer just by breathing on it.
01:20:55.660So the sooner you get it, the sooner you can treat it, I guess.
01:20:59.420There's not too much you can do with lung cancer, but sooner is better.
01:21:03.580And apparently there's some kind of California law that got passed, or I don't know what you call it, but some ballot proposition that got passed that makes it okay to marry anybody you want.
01:21:15.560And the critics are worried that people are going to start marrying their dogs, to which I say, if the dog doesn't mind, is that really any of my business?
