A mystery just got solved! I can't tell you what it is, but in the comments, somebody just solved a mystery for me. A story in Newsweek says that psychopaths are more attractive, and therefore, because people trust attractive people, they can get away with more.
00:04:45.260Here's a study that I found interesting.
00:04:48.580That if you want to change your location, well, apparently Nobel Prize winners are more likely to be Nobel Prize winners if they have changed their location more times.
00:05:04.360So, in other words, if you used to live in one place, but then you moved, and maybe you moved again, you're more likely to become a Nobel Prize winner.
00:05:16.760If you were, let's say you were a genius and you were born in Silicon Valley with other geniuses, you would fairly soon become like the other people.
00:05:30.000So, it would be really good that you were around other geniuses.
00:05:35.160It might make you smarter, but only to a certain level.
00:05:38.780And then you would be sort of into groupthink.
00:05:41.720This is the thought from this study from the Ohio State University.
00:05:46.320But, if you were, let's say, a scientist, and you learned everything from the other scientists who lived where you live, because you'd have some association with them, and then you moved, you'd get a whole new bunch of scientists.
00:06:01.940And that could take you to another level.
00:06:05.100But, I would extend this from Nobel scientists to just ordinary creative people trying to create.
00:06:15.020Because one of the things I noticed is that changing where I am physically, you know, not the city, but just changing, well, sometimes city, but changing the room, you know, doing some work at Starbucks.
00:06:41.380Change your location if you're not being creative enough.
00:06:45.020Well, if you haven't seen the videos, Saudi Arabia is really rolling out the red carpet, as I like to say, for Trump, who has arrived there today.
00:06:56.720They had three Saudi jets give Air Force One an escort, which I don't think was necessary for any additional protection.
00:07:07.860But, it just made it look like a big deal.
00:07:11.900It was kind of impressive, because they had the videos of the Saudi jets, you know, just sort of following them in.
00:07:21.440Then, the crown prince met Trump on the tarmac, which apparently is not their normal protocol.
00:07:28.800So, that was another gesture of respect.
00:07:34.400And, what I didn't know, I thought it was just going to be the crown prince and Trump.
00:07:39.760But, apparently, this is an enormous event with the top billionaires, at least the top American billionaires, from BlackRock, Blackstone, Citigroup, Qualcomm, IBM.
00:07:54.220And, so, you're getting the richest people in the world, but you're also getting, so, these are people who are going to be at the same lunch, right?
00:08:05.060If you know the drama involved in these personalities, it's really funny.
00:08:10.680The same people, this group of people, will be at the same table for lunch.
00:08:18.280Elon Musk, Larry Fink, Sam Altman, and Reid Hoffman.
00:08:24.820Now, there'll be lots of other people there, but I'd love to see the seating chart.
00:08:29.680Can you imagine if they put Elon Musk between Sam Altman and Reid Hoffman?
00:08:38.100If you don't know the background, Elon Musk has a little bit of friction with those two guys, a little bit of friction.
00:08:49.080And, even Larry Fink was the main DEI guy and ESG guy for a long time.
00:08:55.740So, even he couldn't necessarily sit next to Elon Musk.
00:09:02.080So, I think there's a possibility of a fistfight.
00:09:07.820But, the other thing that I'm wondering is, apparently, the people who are smart say that this kind of a trip is always associated with pre-arranged deliverables.
00:09:21.680Meaning that the deals have already been made, but they'll just be sort of announced, you know, make it look like it was because of the trip.
00:09:31.120Yeah, I guess indirectly it is because of the trip.
00:09:33.260But, when you have this many billionaires and CEOs, I feel like the quantity of potential deals might be pretty tremendous.
00:09:46.980And, I'm guessing that Saudi Arabia will be the source of the money.
00:09:53.900And, maybe a lot of these people who are showing up think that they will be the beneficiaries of some of that flowing money.
00:10:01.220So, Trump has said something like, bring a trillion dollars of investment back.
00:12:32.280You know, you're used to seeing job numbers come out and then later they get revised down.
00:12:38.060So, we're kind of conditioned for the idea that employment numbers, you know, job numbers might be a little bit managed, if you know what I mean.
00:13:39.320Or there's, I see another estimate that says, instead of adding almost 800,000 jobs during the middle of last year, the economy likely shed more than 160,000.
00:13:50.140So, it wasn't only that they revised it downwards, it went from wildly positive to, well, well, it might have been negative, you know, it could have been negative.
00:14:04.500Now, how many of you remember when I had my Democrat debate friend on, a comedian whose name I can't remember right now?
00:14:41.700And he challenged me because I did not have a source, which was a good challenge, because I was under the impression that his numbers always got revised, but I didn't have the data at hand or a source or a link or anything.
00:14:59.020So, that was a perfectly reasonable thing to ask about, but it turns out that my instinct about this was right on point, right on point.
00:15:13.040It's sort of stunning the degree to which the Biden administration was a complete lie.
00:15:19.360The funny thing is that Democrats are so hypnotized by their own media that if you ask them, could you compare the truth or the honesty of the Biden administration versus Trump,
00:15:39.180every one of them, every one of them would say, oh, my God, Trump's this big old liar, lying liar.
00:16:17.460Was it Scott Jennings maybe challenged somebody on the panel on CNN, and he just laughed when they said that Biden was more honest?
00:16:28.600Anyway, RFK Jr. was praising Trump for his executive order that would lower pharma costs in the United States and would make us pay no more than other countries, which would be a gigantic reduction in costs.
00:16:53.760But RFK Jr. was doing his little public statement about it.
00:17:31.540Apparently, Bernie Sanders is so on board with Trump's executive order, but he doesn't think that it will necessarily survive a court challenge.
00:17:41.480Now, who the hell is going to challenge it in court?
00:17:48.480I get that you shouldn't do everything with an executive order.
00:18:46.940It's an executive order, not a press release.
00:18:49.620He will support legislation I will soon be introducing to make sure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries.
00:19:45.720I'm going to make a prediction that even the Democrats are not dumb enough to go all in on we should pay more for pharmaceutical because we hate Trump.
00:20:14.280Anyway, as you know, Trump has allowed refugee status for the Africaner, the white African, South Africans who want to escape the possible genocide in South Africa.
00:20:45.220So why would we be favoring the white people in South Africa, says MSNBC, when everybody's, you know, it's a dangerous place.
00:20:55.260And, you know, there's just very, very little evidence that many farmers have been, you know, lost their land or been killed or anything.
00:21:06.300But it's only like 59 people, I guess, at least initially.
00:21:11.180And I just love the trolling aspect of this combined with the fact that I do think that if I were living there, based on what I've seen in the news and what looks like is coming,
00:21:27.960and it's more about what's coming, because if you look at the rhetoric, the rhetoric in South Africa is looking pretty dangerous.
00:21:37.580So if I were a white resident of South Africa, I feel like I might want to get out of there.
00:21:46.120And the fact that, you know, Trump's all in on that, it just gives MSNBC something to talk about that doesn't matter.
00:21:54.040Now, I don't know what's true or what's not true in South Africa, but the fact that it just gives MSNBC something unimportant.
00:22:06.480I mean, you know, if you look at the whole world and the country, it's not the most important thing happening.
00:22:14.020So, anyway, I guess I just enjoy the fact that they don't like it.
00:22:23.100Well, the Dini trial is going now, and I guess the Dini defense is going to be that the violence really did happen, but it wasn't part of sex trafficking.
00:22:34.460Boy, you know, you never want to be in legal trouble where your best defense is that your violence was real.
00:22:46.220I did beat up some women, but it was part of consensual sex acts, and, you know, maybe they liked it a little bit, or that's your best defense.
00:22:58.800But it definitely wasn't sex trafficking.
00:23:08.920So, he's been accused of drugging people and bribing people and disgusting sex acts, and there was something about a male escort who was paid thousands of dollars to get with his girlfriend, Cassie, while Diddy watched.
00:23:28.260This doesn't seem like the dangerous stuff yet, does it?
00:23:31.360Weren't you expecting that the Diddy trial would present a whole bunch of things that were not just about Diddy, like you'd find out about other people?
00:23:42.980Well, I'm starting to think there won't be anything about other people, you know, at least other famous people.
00:23:49.920There'll be other things about, you know, the male escort that he paid and, you know, the girlfriends that he did bad things to.
00:23:58.340But I feel like this is going to be really limited to just Diddy, which, you know, has to be done.
00:24:07.640But if you were hoping for this to give you real news about other people, meh, probably not.

00:24:29.780The Credentials Committee, in another story, sounds like the same story because it's so disgusting.
00:24:40.840But the Democratic National Committee, the ones who had elected David Hogg as their co-chair, there's something called the Credentials Committee.
00:24:53.220So the Democratic National Committee has a Credentials Committee, and they voted that Hogg, the Hogg election, had not followed proper parliamentary procedures.
00:25:08.780And then they'll have to decide whether he can run again.
00:25:13.140So the Democrats used a rules trick to get rid of their own guy, which is so Democrat.
00:25:22.280You know, we've been talking before about the Democrats.
00:25:26.520They're not so much about policy and ideas because they don't have any policy ideas.
00:25:32.760But they're all about gaming the rules.
00:25:36.180You know, I think Mark Elias just sued Wyoming for something again, trying to game the rules.
00:25:43.000So they game the rules even on their, they've turned their weapons on their own people.
00:25:48.100So the, somehow they came up with some weird parliamentary procedure thing to get rid of David Hogg.
00:27:27.560You know, the amount of drinking is down among the young.
00:27:30.460I think young men are seeking meaning.
00:27:33.520And I guess Charlie Kirk did a good job of saying that, that young men are far more, if you're looking for a trend, they're trying to find some meaning.
00:27:44.560Because the old days, everybody was just getting ready to be a good husband.
00:27:49.540And that option seems to be decreasing.
00:27:52.880I mean, they still might want it, but it just doesn't seem to be as available because of economics and other things.
00:28:00.640So I think, once again, the Democrats just don't understand their own public.
00:28:09.280You know, it'll always be true that young men want to get laid and have fun.
00:28:15.940But the search for meaning just seems like a bigger deal to me in terms of, you know, a direction for things.
00:28:25.280Now, here's a, here's a, I don't know if this is a trend or just a thing, but have you noticed that there's a gigantic difference in the, let's say, mental capacity of Democrat supporters versus Republican?
00:28:49.500Now, I'm not saying that if you measure the IQ of one group versus the other, there'd be a difference.
00:28:57.500But in terms of the people who are prominent, if you look at who's prominent on the Democrat side, you get people like Hogg and Jasmine Crockett, you know, just to pick two.
00:29:11.280Now, they're not really the brightest people, at least in terms of politics.
00:29:21.260But I've said this before, I think I said this on X, and Elon Musk agreed with me on X, that the smartest people seem to have all moved to the Republican side, because it's the common sense side.
00:29:34.780It's hard to be smart and be opposed to common sense.
00:29:38.400But just, just to give you a sense of the difference between the Democrat side saying just one crazy thing after another and the Republicans, the Republicans have on their side, I would say, you've heard of Data Republican.
00:29:57.820So Data Republican's a woman who is just great with data and has surfaced things that would be hard to surface just because she's good with data.
00:30:11.020So recently, she put together a giant spreadsheet that you could download and you could check yourself that shows where George Soros gave his money.
00:30:22.880So you can see the Soros grants, I guess Alex Soros at this point.
00:30:27.820Now, isn't that useful to actually understand the real world?
00:30:35.500You'd want to know where Soros put his money.
00:30:39.020Now, who on the Democrat side could do that?
00:30:48.500Who on the Democrat side has a Mike Benz, who could explain to you in great detail all of the NGOs and how the money has been essentially laundered and, you know, how the CIA is all part of it, etc.
00:31:12.800You know, they do have some historians on the Democrat side, but they just seem like crazy partisans.
00:31:22.900You know, they don't sound as, you know, authoritative or as smart or as balanced as Victor Davis Hanson.
00:31:31.040What about, I'm going to throw Charlie Kirk in here.
00:31:35.780If you haven't seen Charlie Kirk's videos of all the public events he's doing, where he does a public debate with anybody who wants to, basically.
00:31:46.320So people go up to the microphone and they challenge him with one thing after another.
00:31:51.500And one of the things we've learned is that Charlie Kirk is way smarter than I thought he was.
00:31:58.340You know, it turns out he has a pretty deep, not pretty deep, but a very deep understanding of all of these topics.
00:32:07.340And watching him just dismiss one person after another, you think to yourself, oh, my God, you know, I'm glad he's on our team.
00:32:16.660Of course, there's Elon Musk and Doge, smartest people ever, on the Republican team.
00:32:25.940And I'm going to say maybe on the Trump team as much as the Republican team.
00:32:29.880A lot of it is, yeah, a lot of it is Trumpish, because Trump is the common sense guy.
00:32:38.300David Sachs, every time I hear David Sachs explain something complicated, I think to myself,
00:32:45.780oh, now I understand it, because he's just so freaking smart.
00:32:51.140And I'm going to throw myself in there, because I've, you know, added to the persuasion understanding
