Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and all of your pets. I assume you've trained your pets to watch the live stream. Is there anybody out there who's got a cat or a dog who are just doing their own thing during my live stream? It's rude, really. So if you've got a cat or a dog, get some treats and train them to sit in front of this live stream with you.

And if you'd like both you and your pet to go to a new level, well, you're going to need a dish for your dog, but for you, a cup or a mug or a glass or a tankard, chalice or stein, you can't eat, jug or flask or vessel of any kind. And you take that thing and you fill it with your favorite beverage. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes, that's right, everything better. Everything. Go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa.

Well, in the news today, Trump won a court case over his defamation suit that Stormy Daniels was, I guess, suing Trump for defamation. And Trump at least prevailed in court, and now Stormy Daniels owes him $300,000. Now there are a lot of people who say, "How can you say Trump is so smart?" And they'll give some examples, right? But Trump is the only person I ever know, I've ever heard of, who slept with a porn star and got paid $300,000 for it. I'm just saying.

Now I know, I know he's just breaking even because it's just paying back his lawyer's fees, but still, it's funny. It's funny when the prostitute returns any money to the customer, allegedly, because Trump says he had no affair with this woman. No affair. No affair. Totally didn't happen.

All right. Our president, who was elected Biden almost entirely on the assumption that he would be adult leadership and more importantly he would not lie to the public the way that awful President Trump did, and yet he did stand in front of the public and lie about Hunter's laptop being Russian misinformation. At what point do we acknowledge that the reason he was elected didn't pan out?

Yeah, somebody says "elected" in quotes. Now that would be a funny way to treat the 2020 election. What if instead of making any kind of accusation about the accuracy of it, instead of that, what if every time you talked about it you just put the election in quotes? Sort of a very low-grade protest.

All right. Brit Hume is tweeting on Kamala Harris. And did you see her speech talking about the significance of the passage of time? So Kamala Harris has become almost like a Colbert character, except for liberals. You remember when Colbert used to do the fake conservative character for his show? And Kamala Harris actually just sounds like she's doing a parody. Allow me to do a parody that sounds exactly like the real thing.

"Well, we were just talking about the significance of time and how the significance of time is sometimes overlooked because over a long time period, the significance of the time will be more than the shorter period of time. Because time, if you look at it over its entire significance, can be something that starts as insignificant and becomes significant over time because the passage of time creates the significance."

So that, ladies and gentlemen, I just saw a meme that made me laugh and hate myself at the same time. Have you ever laughed at a meme and said, "I hate myself for laughing at that. I'm not a good person." But okay, that just happened.

And I think it's important that Kamala Harris has reminded us of the significance of the passage of time. Do you know why time is significant? That's right. Because if we didn't have the significance of time, everything would happen at the same moment. That's no fun. Everything's just going to happen at the same time.

Now I think Kamala Harris is on to something about the significance of the passage of time. We overlook that. As Mike Cernovich was recently commenting in a different scenario, I think, or maybe it was this scenario, I forget, that when you see all the mistakes go in one direction, you should start asking some questions.

Is there another example in the news of all the mistakes seeming to go in one direction? Well, Dr. Nicole Saphier tweets that this week the CDC removed a total of 30,000 COVID deaths from the dashboard for young people. It reduced the total pediatric deaths by 24%. They said it was a coding error. Just a little bit of a coding error that changed the numbers by 25%. That's right. A little bit of a coding error that changed, some would argue, the most important number by 24%. That's a pretty big change.

And as Cernovich would remind you, and I will echo that, you have to watch for problems that all seem to be in the same direction. You know what I mean? I just keep an eye on this one. See if there's this slow trickle of information that says COVID wasn't nearly as bad as we thought. Do you think that's going to happen? Now a 25% change probably wouldn't have changed any policies, but you don't have to get much bigger than 25 before it looks like it might have. You know, if you said the pandemic was really 25% fewer deaths than we thought, I don't think it would change anything, would it? 25%, 50% maybe. But I don't know about 25%. It affects trust, yes, that's true. But I don't know how you could have less trust in something you don't trust at all.

Well, I was reading up on TikTok in an Axios story. Did you know that 63% of American kids have TikTok? Did you know that? Did you know that if you write the words TikTok on the Locals platform, the spell checker will correctly put the brand name there, T-I-K-T-O-K with no space? Did you know that if you try to write that same thing in the title to its competitor here on YouTube that it won't correct it to the correct spelling? Yeah, you have to work at it. You know it's gonna like, "Did you mean tick flock?" No, no, TikTok. "Did you mean flick block?" No, no, TikTok. Now it might have been my bad typing, but I believe that YouTube didn't want me to say TikTok. That's all I'm saying.

So here's what we've learned about their algorithm. And I want to put this in a persuasion frame. Have I taught you way too many times? Yeah, ducking TikTok. Have I taught you way too many times that pacing and leading is good and basic persuasion? The pacing part is where you agree or match the person you're trying to persuade. So if they wear a blue shirt, you wear a blue shirt. If they talk loud, you talk loud. If they use, let's say, a lot of war analogies like jumping on the hand grenade and taking that hill, well, you use war analogies.

So basically the more you can match somebody you want to persuade by pacing them, the more influential you'll be when you try to lead them. Leading meaning instead of following them, you do your own thing and try to get them to follow you. So first you match them, and then when you take a break from what you've matched, they're all somewhat automatically and subconsciously will match you. So it's basic known persuasion technique.

Here's what the TikTok algorithm does. The others do not. The Instagram algorithm, for example, wants to show you things that Instagram wants to show you. Am I right? So it's going to show you more famous people and celebrities and high-quality stuff. Whereas the TikTok algorithm, we're told, simply gives you more of what you've shown you like. So if you click on a certain thing, it's going to give you an endless stream of that until you try something else.

So what happens if you have an app that just keeps giving you everything you want, like really specifically everything you want? Do you know what happens? Well, first of all, you get addicted to it because it's giving you everything you want. It's like it's reading your mind practically. The second thing that happens is if they decide to lead, you will have been so paced that anything you see on TikTok is going to look real to you, especially if you're 12 years old.

So TikTok is the ultimate brainwashing machine. And I believe the only reason it's legal is because there's not a general understanding of how powerful it is. If people understood how much influence TikTok could have. Now I don't know if it's been weaponized, so I don't know if it's ever been used to specifically create something. I know there are some Chinese stories like Tiananmen Square that have been banned on TikTok or suppressed, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about just hiding things. I'm talking about making somebody think a new thing that they didn't think before. And TikTok is just ideally suited for that.

Now if you didn't know, TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, which means that the Chinese government can get any of their data just by telling them to give it to them. And they could tell TikTok to run any content they wanted and just feed it to people as something that they would consume just like all the other stuff they were consuming. So TikTok really should be banned. Apparently there's some effort to get the American customer data into some kind of a server in the United States so that China doesn't have access to it, but it feels a little too late for that. 63% of American young people are on it.

All right, here is proof of the simulation. I saw a quote, a tweet by Twitter user who calls himself Dr. Fauci's Prison Butt. I have no comment about the name he chooses. But Dr. Fauci's Prison Butt, he says this: "The fact that in quantum physics observing a particle changes the behavior of that particle to me proves this is a simulation. It's the game rendering itself in real time." I agree. I agree.

The fact that in physics we know this beyond a doubt, right? So this is not a speculation. In physics we know that observation changes the behavior of stuff. And it doesn't even have to be human observation. It could be a machine measurement can change the behavior of a thing even without touching it. It's simply the knowledge of it. If you can believe this, it's the knowledge about the particle that changes it. It's not even because you shine light on it or you split it. It's not because you're manipulating it. We've literally learned that simply knowledge of it changes it.

Now how can that make sense? The only way it makes sense is that we live in a software-like simulation that is authoring itself on demand. The only time things become what they need to be is when you're there or there's some machine there measuring it, because later we would have access to the measurements. So that's the same thing. How do you know what it was doing before observing? I'm not the physicist who can answer that question, but we do measure. There is a way to do it which you would be satisfied with if it were described to you, but I'm not capable of doing that.

All right. So that's one. I would say that that's pretty good proof in the simulation. The other thing is our massive differences in opinions or movies. Of course you've noticed that it's not a case of some people are smarter and some people aren't. That's how you used to think of it, right? You used to say, "Hey, some people believe X and some people believe Y, but the people who believe Y are underinformed. If they did more research they would all believe the same thing." But it's clear now that what you know doesn't seem to impact what you believe, or how much research you do, or how smart you are. None of it seems to matter, at least not completely. It matters a little bit.

And so I would say that we're absolutely living in an authored world. And a couple more ways that you can tell is I've been testing recently if I just speak out loud to the creator of the simulation and ask for something. I've had the weirdest experiences recently. Now this is part of affirmations but without all the work. So affirmations you sort of repeat what you want over and over again. But I've literally just talked to the simulation. Like I literally talk out loud like I'm talking to somebody who can hear it. And I say, you know what, I need. Give me X. And X is like really unlikely. And then X happened. I asked for some really weirdly specific stuff that happened like the odds of them happening are like really low. Boom. It was just like I ordered a DoorDash.

Now you should believe that that's coincidence and anecdotal and means nothing. But is there anybody here who's had a recent experience of asking the universe for something and it just handed it to you? I'm just curious. Now you may be working from a religious model or whatever, but look at the comments. And I feel like it's happening at a higher rate than it ever happened. Like I've always asked the universe for things in various ways, affirmations or positive thinking, whatever. But I feel like something changed where it's almost like a vending machine now. If you just ask specifically for what you want, the odds of that thing showing up are just crazy.

I mean I wish I could give you examples because they're in my personal life and it's none of your business. But it's the specificity of them. Did you ask for a divorce? Yes, yes I did. Now the thing with divorce that I think people don't understand at all is that when you decide to get married it's because you want to. And when you decide to get divorced it's because you want to. In both cases you're getting what you wanted. A lot of people are treating it like it's a tragedy for which they feel sorry for me. I mean it's a problem you have to work through, but I don't know if it's a tragedy if you choose it. Is it? If it's a path you decide to take, I don't know. I mean it could be hard, but I don't know that that's a tragedy. So I don't think that at least speaking of my specific situation I'm pretty sure that we're both better off. So I don't have a problem with it. Yeah, of course there's a prenup. Of course.

I prayed for food and then I ran over a cat. All right. Here's the other evidence of the simulation. It's the recurring problem thing. So I would say in the last number of years or whatever I've had some really weirdly specific recurring problems that I can't find anybody who has the same ones. But mine just keep coming in in different form, but it's the same problem just over and over again. And I was just talking to somebody else. Yeah, the water leak is one of them. But there are several that are just super recurring. And I was talking to somebody yesterday who has their own recurring problem that I've never had. So somebody else has a completely different recurring problem I've never had once, I don't think. So how is that possible?

Well, my belief is that we're A-B testing for some other higher level of civilization. And at the moment those recurring things that used to be happening just in my life are now happening in the world. Is it a coincidence that we keep having Russia problems? Is that a coincidence? Is it a coincidence that we keep having supply chain problems in every form you can have it? Is it a coincidence that we don't just get one bad virus, we get like a cycle of them to really see what? If you're doing it right, it feels to me that even the Ukraine war is an A-B test testing the idea of whether a modern military can attack and conquer another modern military with a land war. And I think they're finding out they can't. And that that's what they're trying to find out. Okay, could all this military beat this military if the little military has access to good weapons? The answer is no. So I don't know that it's a coincidence that the world keeps serving up the same things.

It's almost telling me that Trump is going to run again for sure because they want to do one more test of what happens if somebody acts a certain way. I don't know. I keep an eye on that. But certainly looks like we're in a simulation and we're A-B testing a number of problems.

Let's talk about the Supreme Court nominee. Blah blah, all Republicans are racist, say Democrats. Blah blah, minority, check the box hiring. Blah blah. It's all the usual stuff. I don't think there's anything that's more boring than this particular Supreme Court nomination because she's definitely going to be nominated. She has all the qualifications as far as I can tell. There's just nothing here. There's nothing here. She would be replacing another liberal. Even the court doesn't change. This is the most nothing story.

And I'm looking at people like Josh Hawley who are taking a run at her to try to degrade her in some way. I don't think there's any way that she's not going to get nominated. But isn't he just wasting his time and making himself look bad? What do you think of the Josh Hawley strategy? Obviously he's getting some attention for himself. Obviously so that could be good. And he's probably playing to his base, so the base likes it probably, right? But does it move the needle in any way? Does it help him get elected in the future? I don't know. It seems like a waste of time.

The smartest thing, I said this before, the smartest thing the Republicans could do, and it would be really smart, is to just be really polite to her and then vote unanimously to put her on the court. Because what happens the next time the Republicans nominate somebody? The next time Republicans nominate somebody they want to say, "Look, when you gave us a nominee that was solid we gave you 100% support. We're going to give you a nominee that we think is solid. You give us 100% support."

Now I know you're saying it's payback, but remember how the news treats the precedent. The news treats precedent like it matters. So if the Republicans take this one that's really a gimme because you know which way it's going to go, they're not going to stop the nomination. So if you know it's going to turn out a certain way you might as well grab whatever advantage from that you can. And grab the advantage of saying, "Look, when you gave us a qualified nominee, were we racist? Did anybody act racist? When you gave us a qualified or misogynist, when you gave us a qualified Black female candidate, did any Republican have a problem with it? Nope. Unanimous."

I mean it's almost like the Republicans are trying to lose this next election. Does anybody disagree with me with this basic fact that strategically the smartest thing the Republicans could have done, given that she's going to get on the court anyway and it doesn't change anything, wouldn't the smartest thing be to try to get a unanimous vote? Now people disagree but give me a reason in the disagreement. Right, makes no difference because you're not fighting back. Is that why? Dems will never reciprocate. It's not that you're asking the Democrats to reciprocate. So let me be more clear. I do not believe that Democrats would reciprocate and that's not important to my point. Do you get that there would be pressure on Democrats from the media if the Republicans had just done a 100% agreement on a candidate? I'm just saying the media would put pressure on the Democrats. I'm not saying the Democrats would want to. And so it would make the Democrats look bad, would it not? Don't Republicans like that? Don't you think the Republicans would want to go into an election and say, "Look, when they give us a qualified candidate, is there any, do you see any racism? No you don't. All we wanted was a qualified candidate." It would be easy to say that and they would get all the political benefits of saying it. I don't know. To me this is a no-brainer. I mean this is the simplest persuasion question that you'll ever see. This one's really easy.

So if you're thinking in terms of tit for tat that has nothing to do with the suggestion. I'm definitely not suggesting that Democrats will play nice if you play nice because there's no playing nice in the idea. In fact you're not playing nice. You're playing as, let's say, as schemingly as you could. Sorry about the word, but it would be the most, let's say, manipulative clever thing to do. It wouldn't be kind at all. It would just be putting pressure on the Democrats. That's all it would do. And otherwise everything's going to be the same because she's going to get nominated anyway. So to me this is easy. Like there are very few issues that are this cleanly obvious what is the right thing to do. And the Republicans have chosen the wrong thing to do. I don't know why.

Well, I'm starting to think that some of the news is not exactly accurate. Is anybody having that feeling? Hey, I'm starting to think that this news isn't 100% accurate all the time. So I saw a tweet where they claimed that seven generals have been killed by the Ukrainians. Seven Russian generals. I heard Petraeus say that three were confirmed. And I saw a tweet by Ian Miles Cheong saying that half of that list of, I think there were seven, are fake. That sounds about right. You know, I do believe that maybe three generals got killed. But if you see a list that lists seven of them that would be hard to believe. And I'm not sure you should believe that.

All right, let me ask you this. If you listen to the fake news and then you believe it and then just by coincidence you watch that movie The Matrix right afterwards, does your mind make the connection? In other words, does anybody realize that they're in a simulated reality even without the simulation? So forget about simulation theory where I'm saying we're all software. But forget about that. Just imagine this is a real world. It's the only one you know. Just sort of standard classic reality. Even in our classic reality the citizens are walking around in this illusion about the world, both sides. You know, I don't think that the right has it all right and the left has it all wrong or anything like that. I think everybody's in a different movie and none of the movies are real, or not completely real. All of the movies have real, as far as anything can be real I guess, or at least verifiable facts in them. They're just not completely verifiable.

So we definitely live in, effectively, we are in the simulation because we believe the fake news. Am I making that case enough? If you believe the fake news you're walking around in a simulated movie that isn't based on reality. Who believes the fake news? Well we all did six years ago, or we were more likely to believe it six years ago. Trump changed everything as I predicted.

Ian told me today on Twitter that I don't take enough credit for my, I think it was 2015 prediction, that Trump would change not just politics but he would change the entire way we see reality. That actually happened. That actually happened. Now imagine a more unusual prediction than that. That was a pretty unusual prediction.

All right. So there's a Russian critic, this guy Alexei Navalny. So he's been a critic of Russia for years. They tried to poison him once but he survived, allegedly poisoned. He was convicted of fraud. That was probably trumped-up charge. 2.5 years. No, I guess the first one was contempt of court and then they just gave him a nine-year sentence for fraud, which I'm sure is not real either. Or even if it is real it's not the reason he's going to jail. So the reason is he's a critic. And it's such a weird situation to see a human being being tortured in public. I mean he was literally poisoned, you know, almost died, came back, and now he's being jailed repeatedly for probably BS. And he's actually just being tortured in public by Putin. Why are we okay with that?

I'm looking at this comment. "Scott turns to Trump to bait us then turns to his handlers with handlers talking points. Snake in the grass." All right, Chasman Senti, you have the floor. You believe that I have a handler. Who is my handler? Anybody want to take a shot at that? Is it part of the New World Order? Is it a globalist? Could it be a globalist? Who is it? Okay, yes. I got a correct answer on the Locals platform when I said who my handler is and who my boss is. Somebody correctly had the answer: my penis. That is the correct answer. It's the only thing I listen to. Everything else is just a suggestion, you know what I mean? My stomach says it's hungry, I say, well that's just a suggestion. My brain says it's bored, I think, well that's just a suggestion. But when my penis says it's time for action, it's go time. That's not a suggestion. That's an order. And I think you all know it.

All right. I don't know what all that was about. Let me make a suggestion for a peace deal for Ukraine. The saddest thing I've seen today is that President Zelenskyy of Ukraine apparently said he would consider a peace deal in which Ukraine would say they wouldn't join NATO ever in exchange for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops and some security guarantees. To which I say, oh, so this wonderful Zelenskyy guy who is a hero, he's a hero, he destroyed his whole country to get a deal that was on the table before the war? Is that really happening? Is Zelenskyy literally, did he literally destroy his whole country to negotiate for the deal that was the original deal? Am I reading it wrong? What the f is happening?

All right. Well let me suggest how a deal could be made or at least framed so that it puts the pressure on Russia. And it goes like this. If you limit the deal to just stuff about Ukraine, you're an idiot. Meaning whoever negotiates the deal, if they limit what they're negotiating to be about Ukraine, stupid. They should, this should be about the entire Russian military and ours and NATO. We should be looking at the Ukraine thing as the genesis for a larger conversation about how never to be in this situation again.

We should say to Russia, do you need a land bridge? We can make that happen because we're not really opposed to transportation, are we? Are we opposed to transportation? How about their pipelines? Are we opposed to pipelines? Well not really in concept. How about we make some kind of a deal to guarantee transportation that they can reach the stuff they want to reach, that they've got some control over their Russian-speaking people who may in fact have been shelled by Ukrainians. I mean does the rest of the world care about that? Not really. How in the world can't we make a deal with Russia?

The way to not make a deal is to limit the conversation to Ukraine only stuff. We should be saying to Russia, how about never having offensive forces anywhere near the border with another country? Just no offensive forces. And the moment you put any offensive capability we're going to change everything. But as long as you don't have any invasion-looking forces on the border we won't make anybody else NATO, for example. Let's say as long as Russia never puts an offensive force on anybody else's border that NATO will not take in any new countries because that's provocative and won't put offensive military stuff on their border as well.

Do you think we can't make a deal? And then you add economic incentives and you say look, not only would we drop the sanctions but maybe we can help you build some other industry. Operation Gladio. I don't know what that is but somebody paid 20 bucks to ask me to explain the thing I never heard of but thank you for the 20 of which YouTube gets a third and then I pay half of it in taxes.

Oh, give us a sign you're really the one in charge of the globalist movement by making Klaus Schwab do something recognizably significant next time he's on TV. Challenge accepted. The next time you see Klaus Schwab watch him touch his nose when he's talking. Right now if you see him touch his nose that's his signal that I control him. Okay, so there you go. You'll probably be seeing that.

Any chance Putin is the good guy? Nope, I don't think so. But let me put some context on that. I think this is a case of two bad guys. The bad guys being Ukraine and the United States being basically, and Putin being evil. So if you're rooting for the not quite as evil I guess that makes sense. I mean it's not nearly as bad as totally evil I guess. But I don't have even the slightest belief that we're not guilty of some bad, meaning provoking and creating this situation. To me that looks like it's on the United States. Anybody disagree? Is there anybody now, not excusing Putin. You know Putin is definitely, he's got some evil going on there. But that doesn't mean that the other side is the good guys. There's no white hat black hat thing going on here. There's two black cats fighting for control. And I have to admit I'm not super invested in the outcome as long as I get my wheat and nobody nukes me. I don't really care because I don't know, I just don't. I'm just not invested beyond how it affects us.

All right. It makes me think. So here's the thing. What's the thing? Here's the thing. The thing is that when you see our negotiators apparently not being serious because I don't think we've even engaged in a way that makes us look like we're serious, is the real goal to just degrade Russia's economy for as long as we can? Because the longer we degrade their economy the longer it takes them to build up good military. I feel as if none of this is about peace. I feel as if this has always been about some way to permanently degrade Russia, especially in a military sense. What do you think? Or, oh, somebody says just lining their pockets. So another frame would be the only people who want this are the ones who are going to make money on it and they have enough power to influence everything else. That could be. In fact maybe that's the top frame here.

All right. Rasmussen had a poll and they said are electric cars practical for most drivers? What do you think? Are electric cars practical for most drivers? So you're not answering for yourself. You're saying most drivers. Yeah, it depends how you interpret the question, right? Because I interpret practical as also the low-cost alternative and I don't think it's the low-cost alternative even with higher gas prices because we assume gas will go down at some point. So I'm not sure that the poll was capturing people's opinions so much as how they interpreted the question. But 52% said no, electric cars are not practical for most drivers.

And I would guess that that 52% are not totally up to date because I don't know if you have an electric car but there are charging stations and there is a convenience factor of not going to a regular gas station. I mean if you charge it at home you're probably doing all the driving you need without a charging station. And so I wonder if Elon Musk needs to do a little more work. You know he can't immediately change the fact that electric cars, at least a Tesla, comes with a price premium. But I think the public is behind the technology. Would you agree with that? If more than half of the public thinks electric cars are not practical, now forget about climate change or anything else, that's a separate conversation. Just the car itself as a tool. Half the people think it's impractical. That feels like they're just behind in knowledge, wouldn't you say?

All right, I'm getting a lot of disagreement so people are not. So I guess a lot of you think that electric cars are inconvenient based on what? What would make them impractical besides cost? Yeah, okay. If you're saying stuff like lithium or you can't recycle the batteries and stuff like that that's not exactly on point because you don't worry about recycling any of your cars. You just drive them and then sell them to somebody else. Somebody says no charging stations. Well it depends where you are, right? So if you're in California there are plenty of charging stations. If you're in somewhere else maybe not.

Yeah, do you think 52% of the country lives somewhere where they don't have easy access to charging stations? Actually that's probably true, isn't it? Even more than that maybe. So I'm going to say if access to charging stations was your main thing and you answered the question that would be a good answer. Yeah, I think depending on where you live I can see half of the country living where they don't have many charging stations. Would you buy that? Would you buy that half of the country lives where there aren't enough charging stations yet because they're probably just in metropolitan areas? Yeah, okay.

Kid Rock had some interesting things to say. I guess Tucker Carlson interviewed him and he claims that when he was hanging out with Trump that Trump said, quote, "What do you think we should do about North Korea?" And Kid Rock said, allegedly he said, "Unlike what? I don't think I'm qualified to answer this." And then there's the story says some people online are questioning whether that conversation even happened.

Let me give you some insight because I spent some time with Trump in the White House just sort of chatting. That's definitely something Trump would do. If you ask me to bet on whether Kid Rock is telling this accurately, oh yeah, I'd bet on Kid Rock. I'd bet totally. Because I had the same experience, not about North Korea, but Trump actually asked my opinion about something. And I think you don't understand how gifted Trump is with his interpersonal skills. You have to understand how gifted he is. He's really gifted one on one just working people and stuff.

So if you're meeting the President of the United States and the President of the United States says to you, regular citizen, "What do you think I should do about North Korea?" What's it do to you? You fall in love with him. That's what happens. Trump doesn't just make you like him. He makes you fall in love with him. Male or female, older, young, Black or white. He makes you fall in love with him when he stands in the Oval Office, the most important person in the world, and says to Kid Rock, "What do you think we should do about North Korea?" Do you think he was looking for a strategy? No, he wasn't looking for a strategy, I don't think so. I think he was doing something that was insanely cool for Kid Rock. He was giving Kid Rock an experience and it was cool. Do you think Kid Rock didn't love that?

I mean you know it's funny that he said, "I don't think I'm qualified." In fact it makes me want to elect Kid Rock for president next. The fact that Kid Rock knows he's not qualified to answer the question on North Korea just makes me like him more. I was like, okay, I like that. Because I'm not sure I would have answered the same way. I probably would have given an opinion. So I say Kid Rock's credibility went way up with me. And if I had to bet on it I would say 99.99% this conversation happened just the way he recounted it. That would be so exactly what Trump would do.

All right. That is by far my favorite story of the day. How many of you believe that there is a New World Order? I guess Biden used that term New World Order in a speech. And how many of you even know what that refers to? Because there's a current, what Wikipedia calls a conspiracy theory about the New World Order. In the comments, how many of you believe that there's a New World Order? And I'll give you the definition from Wikipedia. Let's see. A New World Order is a conspiracy theory about a New World Order that is a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda.

So do you believe that there's a power elite, secretive, you might know where they are but they're secretive, with a globalist agenda? And some of you say it's not a secret, it's code Scott, it's code. Well here's what I think. Hasn't there always been a global elite trying to move the world in their favor? That's always been the case, hasn't it? What changed? Does something change now?

Let me ask you this. I've told you that I've spent some time behind the curtain and by that I mean seeing how things actually work in politics and how the news is generated from absolutely nothing. So I've spent enough time behind the curtain that I have a very strong opinion about whether there's a global elite like an Illuminati or something running the world. And the answer is no. There are lots of them. There's not one global elite. There are bunches of them and they all have their own agenda. They all have their own opinions and they're all maximizing their own life basically.

And I would say that it's more accurate to say that there are elite rich elites for each topic. It's not as if there's one group of elite people who is trying to affect all the topics. That definitely doesn't happen. There's nothing like that. But there definitely are secret billionaire collections of people working behind the scenes to get what they want. That's very true. I can confirm that for sure. So I'm not sure that you need to add the concept of a New World Order. Meaning that I don't know if it adds anything to what you already knew. You already knew that the elites tried to make things work out in their favor.

Let me ask you this. Is your assumption about the New World Order that it would be better for the power elites or are they trying to do something altruistically that they think would be better for the world? What do you think? If you believe the conspiracy theory, I'll call it a conspiracy theory because Wikipedia does, if you follow the New World Order idea, what are they doing? Is it good for the elites or is it good for the public and they're just trying to do us a favor? Somebody says they're trying to consolidate power. Now that would be consolidate power meaning that there would be organizations that could control things in multiple countries, right? I don't see that happening. What countries are giving up their sovereignty to the New World Order? It seems to me that we go on a case-by-case basis.

All right. Clapper calls it the consensus community. Okay. New World Order is, let's see, malevolent detentions. Yeah, don't they have conflicting interests? That's right. So the other thing you have to realize is that the global elites don't all want the same thing. Some want climate change. Maybe they've invested in solar panels. Some want more regular energy production. Maybe they own oil companies, right? So the elites are not all on the same team. They're all working for themselves and they're on every team. Somebody says concentration of wealth is the goal. No it isn't. Who has that goal? Who has a goal of concentrating wealth? I've never even heard of that. I've heard of the opposite. I've heard of people trying to get richer of course. So that's nothing new. I don't know. I just see nothing new here anyway.

When Biden used the phrase New World Order you should know in context, this is also according to Wikipedia, during the 20th century political figures such as Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill used the term New World Order to refer to a new period of history characterized by a dramatic change and often follows a war and stuff. And I think Biden was just using it generically. I think Biden's age especially connects him to a time when New World Order was a political thing to say that didn't mean what it means now. It wasn't a conspiracy theory.

All right. How about this one? The Fourth Turning. How many of you are believers in, I guess Steve Bannon's a big promoter of this. There's a book by that name. How many believe there's an 80-year-old natural cycle in the world in which different generations act differently depending on what situation they're born into and that the 80-year series is repeated and predictable? How many buy that that is telling you something useful and predictable? The predictable part is the important part. It's easy to fit any history to any pattern. Do you all know that? You could come up with any kind of weird way to interpret things and history usually bears it out. But it's useless if it can't predict. So hindcasting is easy but then say, okay, if now we understand the world we can predict what will happen. But they can't do the predicting part which means that the hindcasting wasn't especially useful.

All right. Somebody says read Generations, the history of American future. The same authors, right, as The Fourth Turning. But here's my take. So I did a shallow dive on this. According to my shallow dive I would say the 80-year cycle is closer to astrology than anything to worry about because I think it comes down to civilization goes through periods of lots of change and that war is often part of that. I mean I'm not sure this is adding anything because it's not predictive at all. If you tell me that the Fourth Turning can predict, I tell you anybody can predict sometime in the next 20 years it'll be like a big up. What do you think? Do you think I got it right? Yeah, probably.

All right. That brings us to the conclusion of the best live stream there ever has been. And if you would like to enjoy this extra, I'm going to give you a little something extra here at the end that will only work for 20% of you. That's roughly the number of people this will work for. In a moment I'm going to tell you that your day is going to be awesome and then I'm going to snap my fingers and it will become true. Now for 20% of you this will actually work because that's about how many people are easily persuadable. So simply having me tell you that today is going to be great will actually make it happen, at least in your subjective movie that runs in your head. Your problems might be exactly the same. You might not solve any problems. But if you believe then it'll happen for 25% of you. And so YouTube, you're going to have a great day today. Enjoy.

good morning ladies and gentlemen and all of your pets i assume you've trained your pets to watch the live stream is there anybody out there who's got a cat or a dog who are just doing their own thing during my live stream it's rude really so if you've got a cat or a dog get some treats and train them to sit in front of this live stream with you and if you'd like both you and your pet to go to a new level well you're going to need a dish for your dog but for you a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker chalice of stein you can't eat jugger flask of vessel of any kind and you take that thing and you fill it with your favorite beverage i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing makes what that's right everything better everything go yeah yeah yeah whoa well uh in the news today trump won a court case over his uh defamation suit that stormy daniels was i guess suing trump for defamation and uh trump uh at least he prevailed in court and now stormy daniels owes him 300 thousand dollars now there are a lot of people who say how can you say trump is so smart and they'll give some examples right but trump is the only person i ever know i've ever heard of who slept with a porn star and got paid 300 000 for it i'm just i'm just saying now i know i know he's just breaking even because it's uh it's just paying back his for his lawyer's fees but still it's funny it it's funny when the prostitute returns any money to the customer allegedly because trump says he had no affair with this woman no affair no affair totally didn't happen all right our president who was elected biden uh almost entirely on the assumption that he would be adult leadership and more importantly he would not lie to the public the way that awful president trump did and yet he did stand in front of the public and lie about hunter's laptop being russian misinformation at what point do we acknowledge that the reason he was elected didn't pan out yeah somebody says elected in quotes now that would be a funny way to treat the 2020 election what if instead of you know making any kind of accusation about the uh accuracy of it instead of that what if every time you talked about it you just put the election in quotes sort of a very low grade protest all right uh brit hume is tweeting on kabul harris and did you see her speech talking about the significance of the passage of time so kamala harris has become almost like a colbert character except for liberals you remember when colbert used to do the fake conservative character for his show and kabul harris actually just sounds like she's doing a parody allow me to do a parody that sounds exactly like the real thing well we were just talking about the significance of time and how the significance of time is sometimes overlooked because over over a long time period the significance of the time will be more than the shorter period of time because time if you look at it over its entire significance can be something that starts as insignificant and becomes significant over time because the passage of time creates the significance so that ladies and gentlemen i just saw a meme that made me it made me laugh and hate myself at the same time have you ever laughed at a meme and said i hate myself for laughing at that i'm not a good person but okay that just happened um and i think it's important that kamal harris has reminded us of the significance of the passage of time do you know why time is significant that's right because if we didn't have the significance of time everything would happen at the same moment that's no fun everything's just going to happen at the same time now i think kamel harris is on to something about the significance of the passage of time we overlook that um as uh mike cernovich was recently commenting in a different scenario i think or maybe it was this scenario i forget that when you see all the mistakes go in one direction you should start asking some questions is there another example in the news of all the mistakes seem to go in one direction well dr nicole sapphire tweets that this week the cdc removed a total of 30 000 covades from the dashboard for young people it reduced the total pediatric pediatric deaths by 24 they said it was a coding error just a little bit of a coding error that changed the numbers by 25 that's right a little bit of a coding error that changed some would argue the most important number by 24 percent that's a pretty big change and as uh cernovich would remind you and i will echo that you have to watch for problems that all seem to be in the same direction you know what i mean i just keep an eye on this one see see if there's this slow trickle of information that says coven wasn't nearly as bad as we thought do you think that's going to happen now a 25 change probably wouldn't have changed any policies but you don't have to get much bigger than 25 before it looks like it might have you know if you said the pandemic was really 25 fewer deaths than we thought i don't think it would change anything would it 25 50 maybe but i don't know about 25 percent it affects trust yes that's true um but i don't know how you could have uh less trust in something you don't trust at all well i was reading up on tick tock in an exeus story did you know that 63 of american kids have tick tock did you know that did you know that if you write the words uh tick tock on the locals platform the spell checker will correctly um put the brand name there t-i-k t-o-k with no space did you know that if you try to write that same thing in the title to um its competitor here on youtube that it won't lay it won't it won't correct it to the correct spelling yeah you have to work at it you know it's gonna like did you mean tick flock no no tick tock did you mean flick block no no tick tock now it might have been my bad typing but i believe that youtube didn't want me to say tick tock that's all i'm saying um so here's what we've learned about their algorithm and i want to put this in persuasion frame have i taught you way too many times yeah ducking tick tock have i taught you way too many times that pacing and leaving is good and basic persuasion the pacing part is where you agree or match the person you're trying to persuade so if they wear a blue shirt you wear a blue shirt if they talk loud you talk loud if they use let's say a lot of war analogies like jumping on the hand grenade and you know taking that hill well you you use war analogies so basically the more you can match somebody you want to persuade by pacing them uh the more influential you'll be when you try to lead them leading meaning instead of following them you you do your own thing and try to get them to follow you so first you match them and then when you you take a break from what you've matched they're they're all somewhat automatically and subconsciously will match you so it's basic known persuasion technique here's what the tick tock algorithm does the others do not the instagram algorithm for example uh wants to show you things that instagram wants to show you am i right so it's going to show you more famous people and celebrities and high quality stuff whereas the tick tock algorithm we're told simply gives you more of what you've shown you like so if you click on a certain thing it's going to give you an endless stream of that until you try something else so what happens if you have an app that just keeps giving you everything you want like really specifically everything you want do you know what happens well first of all you get addicted to it because it's giving you everything you want it's like it's reading your mind practically the second thing that happens is if they decide to lead you will have been so paced that anything you see on tick tock is going to look real to you especially if you're 12 years old so tick tock is the ultimate brain washing machine and i believe the only reason it's legal is because there's not a general understanding of how powerful it is if if people understood how much influence tick tock could have now i don't know if it's been weaponized so i don't know if it's ever been used to specifically you know create a something i know there are some chinese stories like tiananmen square that have been banned on tip top tick tock or suppressed but that's not what i'm talking about i'm not talking about just hiding things i'm talking about making somebody think a new thing that they didn't think before and tick tock is just ideally suited for that now if you didn't know tic toc is owned by a chinese company which means that the chinese government can get any of their data just by telling them to give it to them and they could tell tic toc to run any any content they wanted and just feed it to people as as something that they would consume just like all the other stuff they were consuming so tick tock really should be banned apparently there's some effort to get the american customer data into some kind of a server in the united states so that china doesn't have access to it but it feels a little too late for that 63 percent of american young people are on it all right here is proof of the simulation i saw a quote a tweet by twitter user who calls himself dr fauci's prison butt i have no comment about the name he chooses but dr fauci's prison but he says this the fact that in quantum physics observing a particle changes the behavior of that particle to me proves this is a simulation it's the game rendering itself in real time i agree i agree the fact that in physics we know this beyond a doubt right so this is not a speculation in physics we know that observation changes the behavior of stuff and it doesn't even have to be human observation it could be a machine measurement can change the behavior of a thing even without touching it is simply the knowledge of the if you can believe this it's the knowledge about the particle that changes it is not even the it's not because you shine light on it or you split it it's not because you're manipulating it we've literally we've literally learned that simply knowledge of it changes it now how can that make sense the only way it makes sense is that the is that we live in a software-like simulation that is authoring itself on demand the only time things become what they need to be is when you're there or there's some machine there measuring it because later we would have access to the measurements so that's the same thing how do you know what it was doing before observing um i'm not the physicist physicist who can answer that question but we do measure there is a way to do it uh which you would be satisfied with if it were described to you but i won't i'm not capable of doing that all right um so that's one i would say that that's pretty um good proof in the simulation the other thing is our massive uh differences in opinions or movies have you of course you've noticed that it's not a case of some people are smarter and some people aren't that's how you used to think of it right you used to say hey some people believe x and some people believe y but the people who believe y are underinformed if they did more research they would all believe the same thing but it's clear now that what you know doesn't seem to impact what you believe or or how how much research you do or you know how smart you are none of it seems to matter at least not completely matters a little bit and um so i would say that we're absolutely living in a authored world and a couple more ways that you can tell is i've been testing recently if i just speak out loud to the creator of the simulation and ask for something i've had the weirdest experiences recently now this is part of affirmations but without all the work so affirmations you sort of repeat what you want over and over again but i've literally just talked to the talk to the simulation like i literally talk out loud like i'm talking to somebody who can hear it and i say you know what i need give me x and x is like really unlikely and then x happened i asked for some really weirdly specific stuff that happened like the odds of them happening are like really low boom it was just like i ordered a doordash now you should believe that that's coincidence and anecdotal and means nothing but is there anybody here who's had a recent experience of asking the universe for something and it just handed it up i'm just curious now you you may be working from a religious model or whatever but but look at the comments and i feel like the that it's happening at a higher rate than it ever happened like i've always asked the universe for things in various ways affirmations or positive thinking whatever but i feel like something changed where it's almost like a vending machine now if you just ask specifically what for what you want the odds of that thing showing up are just crazy i mean i i wish i could give you examples because you know they're in my personal life and it's none of your business but the it's the specificity of them uh did you ask for a divorce yes yes i did um now the thing with divorce that i think people don't understand at all is that when you decide to get married it's because you want to and when you decide to get divorced it's because you want to in both cases you're getting what you wanted a lot of people are treating it like it's a tragedy for which they feel sorry for me i mean it's a it's a problem you have to work through but i don't know if it's a tragedy if you choose it is it if it's a path you decide to take i don't know i mean it could be hard but i don't know that that's a tragedy so i don't think i don't think that you know at least speaking of my specific situation i'm pretty sure that we're both better off so i don't have a have a problem with it yeah of course there's a prenup of course um i prayed for food and then i ran over a cat all right um here's the other evidence of the simulation it's the recurring problem thing so i would say in the last you know number of years or whatever i've had some really weirdly specific recurring problems that i can't find anybody who has the same ones but mine just keep coming in in different form but it's the same problem just over and over again and i was just talking to somebody else yeah the the water leak is one of them it's but there are several that are just super recurring and i was talking to somebody yesterday who has their own recurring problem that i've never had so somebody else has a completely different recurring problem i've never had once i don't think so how is that possible um well my belief is that we're we're a b testing for some other higher level of civilization and at the moment those recurring things that used to be happening just in my life are now happening in the world is it a coincidence that we keep having russia problems is that a coincidence is it a coincidence that we keep having supply chain problems in every form you can have it is it a coincidence that we don't just get one bad virus we get like a cycle of them to really really see what if you're doing it right it feels to me that even the ukraine war is an a b test testing the idea of whether a modern military can attack and conquer another modern military with a land war and i think they're finding out they can't and that that's what they're trying to find out okay could all this military beat this military if the little military has access to good weapons the answer is no so i don't know that it's a coincidence that the world keeps serving up the same things it's almost telling me that trump is going to run again for sure because they they want to do one more test of what happens if somebody acts acts a certain way i don't know i keep an eye on that but uh certainly looks like we're in a simulation and we're a b testing a number of problems um let's talk about the supreme court nominee um blah blah all republicans are racist say democrats blah blah minority check the box hiring blah blah it's all the usual stuff there's i don't think there's anything that's more boring than this particular supreme court nomination because she's definitely going to be nominated she has all the qualifications as far as i can tell there's just nothing here there's nothing here she she would be replacing another liberal even the court doesn't change this is the most nothing story and i'm looking at people like josh hawley who are who are taking a run run at her you know to try to try to degrade her in some way i don't think there's no way that she's not going to get nominated i don't think but isn't he just wasting his time and making himself look bad what do you think of the josh hawley um strategy of obviously he's getting some attention for himself obviously so that could be good and he's probably playing to his base so the bass likes it probably right but does it move the needle in any way does it help him get elected in the future i don't know it seems like a waste of time the smartest thing that i said this before the smartest thing the republic's republicans could do and it would be really smart is to just be really polite to her and then vote unanimously to put her on the court because what happens the next time the republicans nominate somebody the next time republicans nominate somebody they want to say look when you gave us a nominee that was solid we gave you 100 support we're going to give you a nominee that we think is solid you give us 100 report now i know you're saying it's payback payback but remember how the news treats the precedent the news treats precedent like it matters so if the republicans take this one that's really a gimme because you know which way it's going to go they're not going to stop the nomination so if you know it's going to turn out a certain way you might as well grab whatever advantage from that you can and grab the advantage of saying look when you gave us a qualified nominee were we racist did anybody act racist when you gave us a qualified or misogynist when you gave us a qualified black female candidate did any did any republican have a problem with it nope unanimous i mean it's almost like the republicans are trying to lose this next election is that does anybody disagree with me with this basic fact that strategically the smartest thing the republicans could have done given that she's going to get not get on the court anyway and it doesn't change anything wouldn't the smartest thing to to try to get a unanimous vote now people disagree but give me a reason in the disagreement right makes no difference because you're not fighting back is that why um dems will never reciprocate it's it's not that you're asking the democrats to reciprocate so let me be more clear i do not believe that democrats would reciprocate and that's not important to my point do you get that there would be pressure on democrats from the media if if the republicans had just done a 100 percent agreement on a candidate i'm just saying the media would put pressure on the democrats i'm not saying the democrats would want to and so it would make the democrats look bad would it not don't republicans like that don't you think the republicans would want to go into an election say look when they give us a qualified candidate is there any do you see any racism no you don't all we wanted was a qualified candidate it would be easy to say that and they would get all the political benefits of saying it i don't know to me this is a no-brainer i mean this is the simplest persuasion question that you'll ever see this one's really easy so if you're thinking in terms of uh tip for tat that has nothing to do with the suggestion i i'm definitely not suggesting that democrats will play nice if you play nice because there's no playing nice in the idea in fact you're not playing nice you're playing as let's say as schemingly as you could sorry about the word but it would be the most uh let's say manipulative clever thing to do it wouldn't be kind at all it would just be putting pressure on the democrats that's all it would do and otherwise everything's going to be the same because she's going to get nominated anyway so to me this is easy like there are very few there are very few issues that are this cleanly obvious what is the right thing to do and and the republicans have chosen the wrong thing to do i don't know why well i'm starting to think that some of the news is not exactly accurate is anybody having that feeling hey i'm starting to think that this news isn't 100 accurate all the time um so i saw a tweet where they claimed that seven generals have been killed by the ukrainians seven russian generals um i heard petraeus say that three were confirmed and i saw tweet by ian miles chung saying that half of that list of i think there were seven are fake um that sounds about right you know i do believe that maybe three generals got killed but if you see a list that lists seven of them that would be hard to believe and i'm not sure you should believe that all right let me ask you this if you listen to the fake news and then you believe it and then just by coincidence you watch that movie the matrix right afterwards does your mind make the connection in other words does anybody realize that they're in a simulated reality even without the simulation so forget about simulation theory where i'm saying we're all software but forget about that just imagine this is a real world it's the only one you know just sort of standard classic reality even in our classic reality the citizens are walking around in this illusion about the world both sides you know i don't think that the you know the right has it all right and the left has it all wrong or anything like that i think everybody's in a different movie and none of the movies are real or not completely real all of the movies have real as far as anything can be real i guess or at least verifiable facts in them they're just not completely verifiable so we definitely live in effectively we are in the simulation because we believe the fake news am i making that case enough if you believe the fake news you're walking around in a simulated movie that isn't based on reality who believes the fake news well we all did six years ago or we were more likely to believe it six years ago trump changed everything as i predicted uh uh ian told me today on uh ian martissas on twitter that i don't take enough credit for my i think it was 2015 prediction that trump would change not just politics but he would change the entire way we see reality that actually happened that actually happened now imagine a more uh you know unusual prediction than that that was a pretty unusual prediction all right um so there's a russian critic this guy alexa navalny so he's been a critic of russian for years they tried to poison him once but he survived allegedly poisoned he was convicted of fraud that was probably trumped up charged 2.5 years no i guess the first one was contempt to court and then they just gave him a nine year sentence for fraud which i'm sure is not real either or even if it is real it's not the reason he's going to jail so the reason is he's a critic and it's such a weird situation to see a human being being tortured in public i mean he was literally poisoned you know almost died came back and now he's being jailed repeatedly for probably bs and he's he's actually just being tortured in public by putin why are we okay with that i'm looking at this comment scott turns to trump to bait us then turns to his handlers with h handlers talking points snake in the grass all right chasman senti um you have you have the the floor uh you believe that i have a handler who is my handler anybody want to take a shot at that is it part of the new world order is it is it a globalist could it be a globalist who is it okay yes um i i got a correct answer on the locals platform uh when i said who my handler is and who my boss is somebody correctly had the answer my penis that is the correct answer it's the only thing i listen to everything else is just a suggestion you know what i mean my stomach says it's hungry i say well that's just a suggestion my brain says it's bored i think well that's just a suggestion but when my penis says it's time for action it's go time that's not a suggestion that's an order and i think you all know it all right i don't know what all that was about um let me make a suggestion for a peace deal for ukraine the saddest thing i've seen today is that president zielinski of ukraine apparently said he would consider a peace deal in which ukraine would say they wouldn't join nato ever in exchange for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of russian troops and some security guarantees to which i say oh so this uh wonderful zelensky guy who is a hero he's a hero he destroyed his whole country to get a deal that was on the table before the war is that really happening is olenski literally did he literally destroy his whole country to negotiate for the deal that was the original deal am i reading it wrong what the f is happening all right well let me suggest how a deal could be made or at least framed so that it puts the pressure on russia and it goes like this if you limit the deal to just stuff about ukraine you're an idiot meaning whoever negotiates the deal if they if they limit to what they're negotiating to be about ukraine stupid they should this should be about the entire uh russian military and ours and nato we should be looking at the ukraine thing as the genesis for a larger conversation about how never to be in this situation again we should say to russia do you need a land bridge we can make that happen because we're not really opposed to transportation are we are we opposed to transportation how about their pipelines are we opposed to pipelines well not really in concept how about we make some kind of a deal to guarantee transportation that they can reach the stuff they want to reach that they've got some control over their russian-speaking people um who may in fact have been shelled by ukrainians i mean does the rest of the world care about that not really how in the world can't we make a deal with russia the way to not make a deal is to limit the conversation to ukraine only stuff we should be saying to russia how about never having offensive forces anywhere near the border with another country just no offensive forces and the moment you put any offensive capability we're going to change everything but as long as you don't have any you know invasion looking forces on the border we won't we won't make anybody else nato for example let's say as long as russia never puts an offensive force on anybody else's border that uh that nato will not take in any new countries because that's provocative and won't put offensive military stuff on their border as well do you think we can't make a deal and then you add economic incentives and you say look not only would we drop the sanctions but maybe we can help you build some other industry operation gladio i don't know what that is but somebody paid 20 bucks to ask me to explain the thing i never heard of but thank you for the 20 of which youtube gets a third and then i pay half of it in taxes oh give us a sign you're really the one in charge of the globalist movement by making klaus schwab do something recognizably significant next time he's on tv challenge accepted the next time you see klaus schwab watch him uh touch his nose when he's talking right now if you see him touch his nose that's his signal that i control him okay so there you go you'll probably be seeing that precinct um any chance putin is the good guy nope i don't think so uh let but let me put some context on that i think this is a case of two bad guys the bad guys being ukraine in the united states being basically and putin being evil so if you're rooting for the over the evil i guess that makes sense i mean is not nearly as bad as totally evil i guess but i don't have even the slightest belief that we're not guilty of some bad meaning provoking and creating this situation to me that looks like it's on the united states anybody disagree is there anybody now not excusing putin you know putin is is definitely he's got some evil going on there but that doesn't mean that the other side is the good guys there's no white hat black hat thing going on here there's two black cats fighting for control and i i have to admit i'm not super invested in the outcome as long as i get my wheat and nobody nobody nukes me i don't really care because um i don't know i just don't i'm just not invested beyond how it affects us all right um it makes me think so here's the here's the thing what's the thing here's the thing the thing is that when you see our negotiators apparently not being serious because i don't think we've even engaged in a way that makes us look like we're serious is the real goal to just degrade russia's economy for as long as we can because the longer we degrade their economy that the longer it takes them to build up good military i feel as if none of this is about peace i feel as if this has always been about some way to permanently degrade russia especially in a military sense what do you think or oh somebody says just lining their pockets so another another frame would be the only people who want this are the ones who are going to make money on it and they have enough power to influence everything else that could be in fact maybe that's the top the top frame here all right rasmussen had a poll and they said are electric cars practical for most drivers uh what do you think are electric cars practical for most of drivers so you're not answering for yourself you're saying most drivers yeah it depends how you interpret the question right because i interpret practical as also the low-cost alternative and i don't think it's the low-cost alternative even with higher gas prices because we assume gas will go down at some point so i'm not sure that the poll was capturing people's opinions so much as how they interpreted the question but 52 said no electric cars are not practical for most drivers and i would guess that that 52 are not totally up to date because i don't know if you have an electric car but there are charging stations and there is a convenience factor of not going to a regular gas station i mean if you charge it at home you're probably doing all the driving you need without a charging station and so i wonder if elon musk needs to do a little more work you know he can't immediately change the fact that electric cars at least a tesla comes with a price premium but um i think the the public is behind the technology would you agree with that if if more than half of the public thinks electric cars are not practical now forget about climate change or anything else that's a separate conversation just the car itself as a tool half the people think it's impractical that feels like they're just behind right in knowledge wouldn't you say all right i'm getting a lot of disagreement so people are not so i guess a lot of you think that electric cars are uh inconvenient based on what what would make them impractical besides cost yeah okay if you're saying stuff like lithium or you can't recycle the batteries and stuff like that that's not exactly on point because you don't worry about recycling any of your cars you just drive them and then sell them to somebody else somebody says no charging stations well it depends where you are right so if you're in california there are plenty of charging stations if you're in somewhere else maybe not yeah do you think 52 percent of the country lives somewhere where they don't have um easy access to charging stations actually that's probably true isn't it even more than that maybe so i'm going to say if if access to charging stations was your main thing and you answered the question that would be a good answer yeah i think depending on where you live i can see half of the country living where they don't have many charging stations would you buy that would you buy that half of the country lives where there aren't enough charging stations yet because they're probably just in metropolitan areas yeah okay uh kid rock had some interesting things to say i guess tucker carlson interviewed him and he claims that when he was hanging out with trump that trump said uh quote what do you think we should do about north korea and kid rock said allegedly he said unlike what i don't think i'm qualified to answer this and then and then there's uh the story says some people online are are questioning whether that conversation even happened let me give you some insight you know because i spent some time with trump in the white house just sort of chatting that's definitely something trump would do if you ask me to bet on whether kid rock is telling this accurately oh yeah i'd bet on kid rock i'd bet totally because i had the same experience not about north korea but trump actually asked my opinion about something and i think i think you don't understand how gifted trump is with his interpersonal skills you have to understand how gifted he is he's really gifted one on one just working people and stuff so if you're meeting the president of the united states and the president united states says to you regular citizen what do you think i should do about north korea what's it do to you you fall in love with him that's what happens trump doesn't just make you like him he makes you fall in love with him male or female older young black or white he makes you fall in love with him when he stands in the oval office the most important person in the world and says to kid rock what do you think we should do about north korea do you think he was looking for a strategy no he wasn't looking for a strategy i don't think so i think he was i think he was doing something that was insanely cool for kid rock he was giving kid rock an experience and it was cool do you think kid rock didn't love that i mean you know it's funny that he said i don't think i'm qualified against that in fact it makes me want to elect kid rock for president next the fact that kid rock knows he's not qualified to answer the question on north korea just makes me like him more i was like okay i like that because i'm not sure i would have answered the same way i probably would have given an opinion so so i say kid rock's credibility went way up with me and if i had to bet on it i would say 99.99 this conversation happened just the way he he recounted it that would be so exactly what trump would do all right um that is by far my favorite story of the day um how many of you believe that there is a new world order i guess uh biden used that term new world order in a speech and how many of you even know what that refers to because there's a current what wikipedia calls a conspiracy theory about the new world order in the comments how many of you believe that there's a new world order and i'll give you the definition from wikipedia uh let's see a new world order um is a conspiracy theory about a new world order that is a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda so do you believe that there's a power elite secretive you might know where they are but they're secretive with a globalist agenda and some of you say it's not a secret it's code scott it's code well here's what i think hasn't there always been a global elite trying to move the world in their favor that's always been the case hasn't it what changed does something change now let me ask you this i've told you that i've spent some time behind the curtain and by that i mean seeing how things actually work in politics and how the news is you know generated from absolutely nothing so i've spent enough time behind the curtain that i have a very strong opinion about whether there's a global elite like a like a illuminati or something running the world and the answer is no there are lots of them there's not one global elite there there are bunches of them and they all have their own agenda they all have their own opinions and they're all maximizing their own life basically and i would say that it's more more accurate to say that there are elite rich elites for each topic it's not as if there's one group of elite people who is trying to affect all the topics that definitely doesn't happen there's nothing like that but there definitely are secret billionaire collections of people working behind the scenes to get what they want that's very true i can confirm that for sure so um i'm not sure that you need to add the concept of a new world order meaning that i don't know if it adds anything to what you already knew you already knew that the elites tried to make things work out in their favor let me ask you this is your assumption about the new world order that it would be better for the power elites or are they trying to do something altruistically that they think would be better for the the world what do you think if you believe the conspiracy theory i'll call it a conspiracy theory because wikipedia does if you follow the new world order idea um what are they doing is it good for the elites or is it good for the public and they're just trying to do us a favor somebody says they're trying to consolidate power now that would be consolidate power meaning that there would be organizations that could control things in multiple countries right i don't see that happening what countries are giving up their sovereignty to the new world order uh it seems to me that we go on a case-by-case basis all right uh clapper calls it the consensus community okay um new world order is let's see malevolent detentions yeah don't they have conflicting interests that's right so the other thing you have to realize is that the global elites don't all want the same thing some want climate change maybe they've invested in solar panels some want uh more regular energy production maybe they own oil companies right so the elites are not all in the same team they're all working for themselves and they're on every team somebody says concentration of wealth is the goal no it isn't who has that goal who has a goal of concentrating wealth i've never even heard of that i've heard of the opposite i've heard of people trying to get richer of course so that that's nothing new i don't know i just see nothing new here anyway when biden used the phrase new world order you should know in context this is also according to wikipedia during the 20th century political figures such as woodrow wilson and winston churchill used the term new world order to refer to a new period of history characterized by a dramatic change and often follows a war and stuff and i i think biden was just using it generically i think biden's age especially connects him to a time when new world order was a political thing to say that didn't mean what it means now it wasn't a conspiracy theory all right how about this one the fourth turning how many of you are believers in uh i guess steve bannon's big promoter of this there's a book by that name how many believe there's an 80 year old natural cycle in the world uh in which you know different generations act differently depending on what situation they're born into and that the 80-year series is repeated and predictable how many by that that is telling you something useful and predictable the predictable part is the important part it's easy to fit any uh the history to any pattern do you all know that you could come up with any kind of weird way to interpret things and history usually bears it out but it's useless if it can't predict so hind casting is easy but then say okay if now we understand the world we can predict what will happen but they can't do the predicting part which means that the hind casting wasn't especially you know useful all right somebody says read generations the history of american future the same authors right as the fourth turning but here's my take so i did you know a shallow dive on this according to my shallow dive i would say the 80-year cycle is closer to astrology than anything to worry about because i think it comes down to civilization goes through periods of lots of change and that war is often part of that i mean i'm not sure this is adding anything because it's not predictive at all if you tell me that the fourth turning can predict i tell you anybody can predict um sometime in the next 20 years it'll be like a big up what do you think do you think i got it right yeah probably all right um that brings us to the conclusion of the best live stream there ever has been and if you would like to uh enjoy this extra i'm going to give you a little something extra here at the end that will only work for twenty percent of you that's that's roughly the number of people this will work for in a moment i'm going to tell you that your day is going to be awesome and then i'm gonna i'm gonna snap my fingers and it will become true now for 20 of you this will actually work because that's about how many people are easily persuadable so simply having me tell you that today is going to be great we'll actually make it happen at least in your subjective movie that runs in your head your problems might be exactly the same you might you might not solve any problems but if you believe then it'll happen for 25 of you and so youtube you're going to have a great day today enjoy

[Music]

good morning ladies and gentlemen and

all of your pets

i assume you've trained your pets to

watch the live stream is there anybody

out there who's got a cat or a dog

who are just doing their own thing

during my live stream

it's rude really

so if you've got a cat or a dog get some

treats and train them to sit in front of

this live stream with you

and if you'd like

both you and your pet to go to a new

level well you're going to need a dish

for your dog but for you a cup or a mug

or a glass of tanker chalice of stein

you can't eat jugger flask of vessel of

any kind and you take that thing and you

fill it with your favorite beverage

i like coffee and join me now for the

unparalleled pleasure

the dopamine of the day the thing makes

what

that's right everything better

everything go

yeah

yeah yeah

whoa

well uh in the news today

trump won a court case over his uh

defamation suit that stormy daniels was

i guess suing trump for defamation

and uh

trump uh at least

he prevailed in court and now stormy

daniels owes him 300 thousand dollars

now

there are a lot of people

who say

how can you say trump is so smart

and they'll give some examples right

but

trump is the only person i ever know

i've ever heard of

who

slept with a porn star and got paid 300

000 for it

i'm just i'm just saying

now i know i know he's just breaking

even because it's uh it's just paying

back his for his lawyer's fees but still

it's funny

it it's funny when the prostitute

returns any money to the customer

allegedly because trump says he had no

affair with this woman no affair

no affair

totally didn't happen

all right

our president who was elected biden

uh almost entirely on the assumption

that he would be adult leadership and

more importantly

he would not lie to the public

the way that awful president trump did

and yet he did stand in front of the

public and lie about hunter's laptop

being russian misinformation

at what point

do we acknowledge that the reason he was

elected

didn't pan out

yeah somebody says elected in quotes

now that would be a funny way to treat

the 2020 election

what if instead of you know making any

kind of accusation about the

uh accuracy of it

instead of that what if every time you

talked about it you just put the

election in quotes

sort of a very low grade protest

all right

uh brit hume is tweeting on kabul harris

and did you see her

speech talking about the significance of

the passage of time

so kamala harris has become almost like

a colbert character except for liberals

you remember when colbert used to do the

fake conservative character for his show

and

kabul harris actually

just sounds like she's doing a parody

allow me to do a parody

that sounds exactly like the real thing

well we were just talking about the

significance of time

and how the significance of time is

sometimes overlooked because over

over a long time period the significance

of the time

will be more than the shorter period of

time

because time if you look at it over its

entire significance

can be something that starts as

insignificant and becomes significant

over time

because the passage of time

creates the significance

so that ladies and gentlemen

i just saw a meme that made me

it made me laugh and hate myself at the

same time

have you ever laughed at a meme and said

i hate myself for laughing at that

i'm not a good person

but

okay that just happened

um and i think it's important that kamal

harris has reminded us of the

significance of the passage of time

do you know why

time is significant

that's right

because if we didn't have the

significance of time everything would

happen at the same

moment

that's no fun

everything's just going to happen at the

same time now i think kamel harris is on

to something

about the significance of the passage of

time

we overlook that

um

as uh mike cernovich was recently

commenting in a different scenario i

think or maybe it was this scenario i

forget

that when you see all the mistakes go in

one direction

you should start asking some questions

is there another example in the news of

all the mistakes

seem to go in one direction

well dr nicole sapphire

tweets that this week the cdc

removed a total of 30 000 covades from

the dashboard

for young people it reduced the total

pediatric pediatric deaths by 24

they said it was a coding error

just a little bit of a coding error that

changed the numbers by

25

that's right a little bit of a coding

error that changed

some would argue

the most important number

by 24 percent

that's a pretty big change and as uh

cernovich would remind you and i will

echo that

you have to watch for problems that all

seem to be in the same direction

you know what i mean i just keep an eye

on this one

see see if there's this slow trickle of

information that says coven wasn't

nearly as bad as we thought

do you think that's going to happen

now a 25 change

probably wouldn't have changed any

policies

but you don't have to get much bigger

than 25 before it looks like it might

have you know if you said the pandemic

was really 25

fewer deaths than we thought

i don't think it would change anything

would it

25

50 maybe

but i don't know about 25 percent it

affects trust yes that's true

um but i don't know how you could have

uh less trust in something you don't

trust at all

well i was reading up on tick tock in an

exeus story did you know that 63 of

american kids have tick tock

did you know that did you know that if

you write the words uh tick tock

on the locals platform

the spell checker will correctly

um put the brand name there t-i-k

t-o-k

with no space

did you know that if you try to write

that same thing in the title to um

its competitor here on youtube

that it won't lay it won't it won't

correct it to the correct spelling yeah

you have to work at it

you know it's gonna like did you mean

tick flock no no tick tock did you mean

flick block

no no tick tock

now it might have been my bad typing but

i believe that youtube didn't want me to

say tick tock that's all i'm saying

um so here's what we've learned about

their algorithm

and i want to put this in persuasion

frame

have i taught you way too many times

yeah ducking tick tock

have i taught you way too many times

that

pacing and leaving is

good and basic persuasion the pacing

part is where you agree or match the

person you're trying to persuade

so if they wear a blue shirt you wear a

blue shirt

if they talk loud you talk loud if they

use let's say a lot of war analogies

like jumping on the hand grenade and you

know taking that hill well you you use

war analogies

so basically the more you can match

somebody you want to persuade

by pacing them

uh the more influential you'll be when

you try to lead them leading meaning

instead of following them

you you do your own thing and try to get

them to follow you

so first you match them

and then when you

you take a break from what you've

matched they're they're all somewhat

automatically and

subconsciously

will match you so it's basic known

persuasion technique

here's what the tick tock algorithm does

the others do not

the instagram algorithm for example

uh wants to show you things that

instagram wants to show you am i right

so it's going to show you more famous

people and celebrities and

high quality

stuff

whereas the tick tock algorithm we're

told

simply gives you more of what you've

shown you like so if you click on a

certain thing it's going to give you an

endless stream of that until you try

something else

so what happens if you have an app that

just keeps giving you everything you

want like really specifically everything

you want

do you know what happens

well first of all you get addicted to it

because it's giving you everything you

want it's like

it's reading your mind practically

the second thing that happens is if they

decide to lead

you will have been so paced

that anything you see on tick tock is

going to look real to you

especially

if you're

12 years old

so tick tock is the ultimate brain

washing machine and i believe the only

reason it's legal

is because there's not a general

understanding of how powerful it is

if if people understood how much

influence tick tock could have now i

don't know if it's been weaponized so i

don't know if it's ever been used

to specifically you know create a

something i know there are some chinese

stories like tiananmen square that have

been

banned on tip top tick tock or

suppressed

but

that's not what i'm talking about i'm

not talking about just hiding things

i'm talking about making somebody think

a new thing that they didn't think

before

and tick tock is just ideally

suited for that now if you didn't know

tic toc is owned by a chinese company

which means that the chinese government

can get any of their data just by

telling them to give it to them

and they could tell tic toc to run any

any content they wanted and just feed it

to people as

as something that they would consume

just like all the other stuff they were

consuming

so

tick tock really should be banned

apparently there's some effort to get

the american

customer data into some kind of a server

in the united states

so that china doesn't have access to it

but it feels a little too late for that

63 percent of

american

young people are on it

all right

here is proof

of the simulation i saw a quote a tweet

by

twitter user who calls himself dr

fauci's prison butt

i have no comment about the name he

chooses

but dr fauci's prison but

he says this the fact that in quantum

physics observing a particle changes the

behavior of that particle

to me proves this is a simulation

it's the game rendering itself in real

time

i agree

i agree the fact that in physics we know

this beyond a doubt

right so this is not a speculation in

physics we know

that observation changes the behavior of

stuff and it doesn't even have to be

human observation it could be a machine

measurement

can change the behavior of a thing even

without touching it

is simply the knowledge of the

if you can believe this

it's the knowledge about the particle

that changes it

is not even the it's not because you

shine light on it or you split it it's

not because you're manipulating it

we've literally we've literally learned

that simply knowledge of it changes it

now

how can that make sense the only way it

makes sense is that the is that we live

in a software-like simulation

that is authoring itself on demand

the only time things become what they

need to be is when you're there

or there's some machine there measuring

it because later we would have access to

the measurements so that's the same

thing

how do you know what it was doing before

observing

um i'm not the physicist physicist who

can answer that question

but we do measure

there is a way to do it

uh which you would be satisfied with if

it were described to you

but i won't i'm not capable of doing

that

all right um

so that's one i would say that that's

pretty

um

good proof in the simulation

the other thing is our massive uh

differences

in opinions or movies

have you

of course you've noticed

that

it's not a case of some people are

smarter and some people aren't that's

how you used to think of it right

you used to say

hey some people believe x and some

people believe y

but the people who believe y are

underinformed

if they did more research they would all

believe the same thing

but it's clear now

that what you know doesn't seem to

impact what you believe

or or how how much research you do or

you know how smart you are none of it

seems to matter at least not completely

matters a little bit

and

um

so i would say

that

we're absolutely living in a authored

world

and a couple more ways that you can tell

is i've been testing recently

if i just

speak out loud to the creator of the

simulation

and ask for something

i've had the weirdest experiences

recently now this is part of

affirmations but without all the work

so affirmations you sort of repeat what

you want over and over again but i've

literally just talked to the talk to the

simulation like i literally talk out

loud like i'm talking to somebody who

can hear it

and i say you know what i need

give me x

and x is like really unlikely

and then x happened

i asked for some

really weirdly specific stuff that

happened like the odds of them happening

are like really low

boom it was just like i ordered a

doordash

now you should believe that that's

coincidence and anecdotal and means

nothing

but is there anybody here

who's had a recent experience of asking

the universe for something and it just

handed it up

i'm just curious now you you may be

working from a religious model or

whatever

but but look at the comments and i feel

like the

that it's happening at a higher rate

than it ever happened like i've always

asked the universe for things in various

ways affirmations or positive thinking

whatever

but

i feel like something changed

where it's almost like a vending machine

now if you just ask specifically what

for what you want the odds of that thing

showing up are just crazy

i mean i i wish i could give you

examples because you know they're in my

personal life and

it's none of your business

but the it's the specificity of them uh

did you ask for a divorce yes

yes

i did

um

now the thing with divorce

that i think people don't understand at

all is that when you decide to get

married it's because you want to

and when you decide to get divorced

it's because you want to

in both cases you're getting what you

wanted

a lot of people are treating it like

it's a tragedy for which they feel sorry

for me i mean it's a it's a problem you

have to work through

but i don't know if it's a tragedy if

you choose it

is it

if it's a path you decide to take

i don't know i mean it could be hard

but i don't know that that's a tragedy

so i don't think i don't think that you

know at least speaking of my specific

situation

i'm pretty sure that we're both better

off

so i don't have a

have a problem with it

yeah of course there's a prenup

of course

um

i prayed for food and then i ran over a

cat

all right

um here's the other evidence of the

simulation it's the recurring problem

thing

so i would say in the last you know

number of

years or whatever i've had some really

weirdly specific recurring problems

that i can't find anybody who has the

same ones but mine just keep coming in

in different form but it's the same

problem just over and over again and i

was just talking to somebody else yeah

the the water leak is one of them it's

but there are several

that are just super recurring and i was

talking to somebody yesterday who has

their own recurring problem that i've

never had

so somebody else has a completely

different recurring problem

i've never had once

i don't think

so how is that possible

um

well

my belief is that we're we're a b

testing for some other higher level of

civilization

and at the moment

those recurring things that used to be

happening just in my life

are now happening in the world

is it a coincidence that we keep having

russia problems

is that a coincidence

is it a coincidence

that we keep having supply chain

problems

in every form you can have it

is it a coincidence that we don't just

get one bad virus we get like

a cycle of them to really

really see what if you're doing it right

it feels to me that even the ukraine war

is an a b test

testing the idea

of whether a modern military can attack

and conquer another modern military

with a land war

and i think they're finding out they

can't

and that that's what they're trying to

find out

okay could all this military beat this

military if the little military has

access to

good weapons

the answer is no

so

i don't know that it's a coincidence

that the world keeps serving up the same

things

it's almost telling me that trump is

going to run again for sure

because they they want to do one more

test

of what happens if somebody acts acts a

certain way

i don't know

i keep an eye on that but uh certainly

looks like we're in a simulation and

we're a b testing a number of

problems

um

let's talk about the supreme court

nominee

um

blah blah all republicans are racist say

democrats

blah blah

minority

check the box hiring

blah blah

it's all the usual stuff

there's i don't think there's anything

that's more boring than this particular

supreme court nomination

because

she's definitely going to be nominated

she has all the qualifications as far as

i can tell

there's just nothing here

there's nothing here she she would be

replacing another liberal even the court

doesn't change

this is the most nothing story and i'm

looking at people like josh hawley

who are who are taking a run run at her

you know to try to

try to degrade her in some way i don't

think there's no way that she's not

going to get nominated i don't think

but isn't he just wasting his time and

making himself look bad

what do you think of the josh hawley

um strategy

of obviously he's getting some attention

for himself

obviously so that could be good and he's

probably playing to his base

so the bass likes it probably right

but does it move the needle in any way

does it help him get elected in the

future

i don't know it seems like a waste of

time

the smartest thing that

i said this before the smartest thing

the republic's republicans could do

and it would be really smart

is to just be really polite to her and

then vote unanimously to

put her on the court

because what happens the next time the

republicans nominate somebody

the next time republicans nominate

somebody they want to say look

when you gave us a nominee that was

solid we gave you 100

support we're going to give you a

nominee that we think is solid you give

us 100 report

now i know you're saying it's payback

payback

but remember how the news treats the

precedent

the news treats precedent like it

matters

so if the republicans take this one

that's really a gimme

because you know which way it's going to

go they're not going to stop the

nomination

so if you know it's going to turn out a

certain way you might as well grab

whatever advantage from that you can

and grab the advantage of saying look

when you gave us a qualified nominee

were we racist

did anybody act racist when you gave us

a qualified or misogynist

when you gave us a qualified

black

female candidate did any did any

republican have a problem with it nope

unanimous

i mean it's almost like the republicans

are trying to lose this next election

is that does anybody disagree with me

with this basic fact that strategically

the smartest thing the republicans could

have done given that she's going to get

not get on the court anyway

and it doesn't change anything

wouldn't the smartest thing to

to try to get a unanimous vote

now people disagree but give me a reason

in the disagreement

right

makes no difference

because you're not fighting back is that

why

um

dems will never reciprocate it's it's

not that you're asking the democrats to

reciprocate so let me be more clear

i do not believe

that democrats would reciprocate and

that's not important to my point

do you get that

there would be pressure on democrats

from the media

if if the republicans had just done a

100 percent agreement on a candidate i'm

just saying the media would put pressure

on the democrats i'm not saying the

democrats would want to

and so it would make the democrats look

bad would it not

don't republicans like that

don't you think the republicans would

want to go into an election say look

when they give us a qualified candidate

is there any do you see any racism no

you don't

all we wanted was a qualified candidate

it would be easy to say that

and they would get all the political

benefits of saying it

i don't know to me this is a no-brainer

i mean

this is the simplest persuasion question

that you'll ever see this one's really

easy

so if you're thinking in terms of uh tip

for tat that has nothing to do with the

suggestion i i'm definitely not

suggesting

that democrats will play nice if you

play nice because there's no playing

nice in the idea

in fact you're not playing nice

you're playing as

let's say as schemingly

as you could

sorry about the word

but it would be the most uh let's say

manipulative

clever thing to do it wouldn't be kind

at all

it would just be putting pressure on the

democrats that's all it would do and

otherwise everything's going to be the

same because she's going to get

nominated anyway

so to me this is easy

like

there are very few there are very few

issues

that are this cleanly

obvious what is the right thing to do

and and the republicans have chosen the

wrong thing to do i don't know why

well

i'm starting to think that some of the

news is not exactly accurate

is anybody having that feeling

hey i'm starting to think that this news

isn't 100 accurate all the time

um

so i saw a tweet where they claimed that

seven

generals have been killed by the

ukrainians seven russian generals

um i heard petraeus say that three were

confirmed

and i saw tweet by ian miles chung

saying that half of that list of i think

there were seven are fake

um

that sounds about right

you know i do believe that maybe three

generals got killed but if you see a

list that lists seven of them

that would be hard to believe and i'm

not sure you should believe that

all right

let me ask you this

if you listen to the fake news and then

you believe it

and then just by coincidence you watch

that movie the matrix right afterwards

does your mind make the connection

in other words

does anybody realize

that they're in a simulated reality

even without the simulation so forget

about simulation theory where i'm saying

we're all software but forget about that

just imagine this is a real world it's

the only one

you know just sort of standard classic

reality

even in our classic reality

the citizens are walking around in this

illusion about the world

both sides you know i don't think that

the you know the right has it all right

and the left has it all wrong or

anything like that i think everybody's

in a different movie and none of the

movies are real

or not completely real

all of the movies have real

as far as anything can be real i guess

or at least verifiable facts in them

they're just not completely verifiable

so

we definitely live in effectively we are

in the simulation

because we believe the fake news

am i making that case enough if you

believe the fake news you're walking

around in a simulated

movie that isn't based on reality

who believes the fake news well we all

did six years ago

or we were more likely to believe it six

years ago trump changed everything

as i predicted

uh

uh ian told me today on uh

ian martissas on twitter that i don't

take enough credit for my

i think it was 2015 prediction that

trump would change not just politics but

he would change the entire way we see

reality

that actually happened

that actually happened

now imagine a more uh you know unusual

prediction than that that was a pretty

unusual prediction

all right um

so there's a russian critic this guy

alexa navalny so he's been a critic of

russian for years

they tried to poison him once but he

survived

allegedly

poisoned

he was convicted of fraud that was

probably trumped up

charged 2.5 years

no i guess the first one was contempt to

court and then they just gave him a nine

year sentence for fraud which i'm sure

is not real either or even if it is real

it's not the reason he's going to jail

so the reason is he's a critic

and

it's such a weird situation

to see a human being being tortured in

public

i mean he was literally poisoned you

know almost died came back

and now he's being jailed

repeatedly for probably bs

and

he's he's actually just being tortured

in public by putin

why are we okay with that

i'm looking at this comment scott turns

to trump to bait us then turns to his

handlers with h handlers talking points

snake in the grass

all right chasman senti

um you have you have the the floor

uh you believe that i have a handler

who is my handler

anybody want to take a shot at that

is it part of the new world order

is it

is it a globalist

could it be a globalist

who is it

okay

yes um i i got a correct answer on the

locals platform

uh

when i said who my handler is and who my

boss is

somebody correctly had the answer

my penis

that is the correct answer

it's the only thing i listen to

everything else is just a suggestion you

know what i mean

my stomach says it's hungry i say well

that's just a

suggestion my brain says it's bored i

think well that's just a suggestion

but when my penis says it's time for

action

it's go time

that's not a suggestion

that's an order

and i think you all know it

all right

i don't know what all that was about

um

let me make a suggestion for a peace

deal for ukraine

the saddest thing i've seen today is

that president zielinski of ukraine

apparently said he would consider a

peace deal

in which ukraine would say they wouldn't

join nato ever

in exchange for a ceasefire and the

withdrawal of russian troops and some

security guarantees

to which i say oh

so this uh wonderful zelensky guy

who is a hero

he's a hero

he destroyed his whole country

to get a deal that was on the table

before the war

is that really happening

is olenski literally

did he literally destroy his whole

country

to negotiate for the deal that was the

original deal

am i reading it wrong

what

the

f

is happening

all right well let me suggest how a deal

could be made or at least

framed so that it puts the pressure on

russia

and it goes like this

if you limit the deal to just stuff

about ukraine

you're an idiot

meaning whoever negotiates the deal if

they if they limit to what they're

negotiating to be about ukraine

stupid

they should this should be about the

entire uh russian military and ours and

nato

we should be looking at the ukraine

thing as the genesis for a larger

conversation about how never to be in

this situation again

we should say to russia do you need a

land bridge

we can make that happen

because we're not really opposed to

transportation

are we

are we opposed to transportation

how about their pipelines

are we opposed to pipelines well not

really in concept

how about we make some kind of a deal

to guarantee transportation

that they can reach the stuff they want

to reach

that they've got some control over their

russian-speaking people um who may in

fact have been

shelled by ukrainians

i mean does the rest of the world care

about that not really how in the world

can't we make a deal with russia the way

to not make a deal is to limit the

conversation to ukraine only stuff

we should be saying to russia

how about never having offensive forces

anywhere near the

border with another country just no

offensive forces

and the moment you put any offensive

capability

we're going to change everything

but as long as you don't have any you

know invasion looking forces on the

border

we won't

we won't make anybody else nato for

example

let's say as long as russia

never puts an offensive force on anybody

else's border

that uh

that nato will not take in any new

countries

because that's provocative and won't put

offensive military stuff

on their border as well

do you think we can't make a deal

and then you add

economic incentives and you say look not

only would we drop the sanctions

but maybe we can help you build some

other industry

operation gladio i don't know what that

is

but somebody paid 20 bucks to ask me to

explain the thing i never heard of

but thank you for the 20

of which

youtube gets a third and then i pay half

of it in taxes

oh give us a sign you're really the one

in charge of the globalist

movement by making klaus schwab do

something recognizably significant next

time he's on tv

challenge accepted the next time you see

klaus schwab

watch him uh

touch his nose

when he's talking

right now if you see him touch his nose

that's his signal

that i control him

okay

so there you go

you'll probably be seeing that precinct

um

any chance putin is the good guy

nope

i don't think so

uh let but let me put some context on

that

i think this is a case of two bad guys

the bad guys being ukraine in the united

states

being basically

and putin being evil

so if you're rooting for the

over the evil

i guess that makes sense

i mean is not nearly as bad as

totally evil i guess

but

i don't have even the slightest belief

that we're not guilty

of some bad meaning provoking and

creating this situation to me that looks

like it's on the united states

anybody disagree

is there anybody

now not excusing putin you know putin is

is

definitely

he's got some evil going on there

but that doesn't mean that the other

side is the good guys there's no white

hat black hat thing going on here

there's two black cats

fighting for control

and

i i have to admit i'm not super invested

in the outcome

as long as i get my wheat

and nobody nobody nukes me i don't

really care

because

um

i don't know i just don't i'm just not

invested

beyond how it affects us

all right um it makes me think

so here's the here's the thing

what's the thing here's the thing

the thing is

that when you see our negotiators

apparently not being serious

because i don't think we've even engaged

in a way that makes us look like we're

serious

is the real goal to just degrade

russia's economy

for as long as we can because the longer

we degrade their economy that

the longer it takes them to build up

good military

i feel as if none of this is about peace

i feel as if this has always been about

some way to permanently degrade russia

especially in a military sense

what do you think

or oh somebody says just lining their

pockets so another another frame would

be

the only people who want this are the

ones who are going to make money on it

and they have enough power to influence

everything else that could be

in fact

maybe that's the top

the top frame here

all right

rasmussen had a poll and they said are

electric cars practical for most drivers

uh what do you think are electric cars

practical for most of drivers so you're

not answering for yourself

you're saying most drivers

yeah it depends how you interpret the

question right

because i interpret practical as also

the low-cost alternative

and i don't think it's the low-cost

alternative even with higher gas prices

because we assume gas will go down at

some point

so i'm not sure that the poll was

capturing people's opinions so much as

how they interpreted the question

but

52 said no electric cars are not

practical for most drivers

and i would guess that that 52

are not totally up to date

because i don't know if you have an

electric car but there are charging

stations

and there is a convenience factor of not

going to a regular gas station i mean if

you charge it at home you're probably

doing all the driving you need without a

charging station and so

i wonder if elon musk needs to do a

little more work

you know he can't immediately change the

fact that electric cars at least a tesla

comes with a price premium

but

um i think the the public is behind the

technology

would you agree with that if if more

than half of the public thinks electric

cars are not practical now forget about

climate change or anything else that's a

separate conversation just the car

itself as a tool

half the people think it's impractical

that feels like they're just behind

right in knowledge

wouldn't you say

all right i'm getting a lot of

disagreement so

people are not so i guess a lot of you

think that electric cars are uh

inconvenient

based on what what would make them

impractical besides cost

yeah okay if you're saying stuff like

lithium or you can't recycle the

batteries and stuff like that that's not

exactly on point

because you don't worry about recycling

any of your cars you just drive them and

then sell them to somebody else

somebody says no charging stations well

it depends where you are

right so if you're in california there

are plenty of charging stations if

you're in somewhere else maybe not

yeah

do you think 52 percent of the country

lives somewhere where they don't have um

easy access to charging stations

actually that's probably true isn't it

even more than that maybe

so i'm going to say if if access to

charging stations was your

main thing and you answered the question

that would be a good answer

yeah i think depending on where you live

i can see half of the country living

where they don't have many charging

stations

would you buy that

would you buy that half of the country

lives where there aren't enough charging

stations yet because they're probably

just in metropolitan areas

yeah okay

uh kid rock had some interesting things

to say

i guess tucker carlson interviewed him

and he claims that when he was hanging

out with trump

that trump said uh

quote what do you think we should do

about north korea

and kid rock said

allegedly he said unlike what i don't

think i'm qualified to answer this

[Laughter]

and then and then there's uh the story

says some people online are are

questioning whether that conversation

even happened let me give you some

insight

you know because i spent some time with

trump

in the white house

just sort of chatting

that's definitely something trump would

do

if you ask me to bet on whether kid rock

is telling this accurately oh yeah i'd

bet on kid rock i'd bet totally

because i had the same experience not

about north korea

but trump actually asked my opinion

about something

and i think

i think you don't understand how gifted

trump is

with his interpersonal skills

you have to understand how gifted he is

he's really gifted

one on one just working people and stuff

so if you're meeting the president of

the united states

and the president united states says to

you regular citizen

what do you think i should do about

north korea

what's it do to you

you fall in love with him

that's what happens

trump doesn't just make you

like him

he makes you fall in love with him male

or female

older young black or white

he makes you fall in love with him

when he stands in the oval office the

most important person in the world and

says to kid rock what do you think we

should do about north korea

do you think he was looking for a

strategy

no he wasn't looking for a strategy

i don't think so

i think he was i think he was doing

something that was insanely cool

for kid rock

he was giving kid rock an experience

and it was cool

do you think kid rock didn't love that

i mean you know it's funny that he said

i don't think i'm qualified against that

in fact it makes me want to elect kid

rock for president next

the fact that kid rock knows he's not

qualified to answer the question on

north korea just makes me like him more

i was like okay

i like that

because i'm not sure i would have

answered the same way

i probably would have given an opinion

so so i say kid rock's credibility went

way up with me and if i had to bet on it

i would say

99.99

this conversation happened just the way

he he recounted it

that would be so exactly what trump

would do

all right um

that is by far my favorite story of the

day

um how many of you believe that there is

a new world order

i guess uh biden

used that term new world order in a

speech

and how many of you even know what that

refers to because there's a current

what wikipedia calls a conspiracy theory

about the new world order

in the comments how many of you believe

that there's a new world order and i'll

give you the definition from wikipedia

uh

let's see a new world order um

is a conspiracy theory about a new world

order that is a secretive power elite

with a globalist agenda

so do you believe that there's a power

elite secretive

you might know where they are but

they're secretive

with a globalist agenda

and some of you say it's not a secret

it's code scott

it's code

well

here's what i think

hasn't there always been a global elite

trying to

move the world in their favor

that's always been the case hasn't it

what changed

does something change

now

let me ask you this

i've told you that i've spent some time

behind the curtain

and by that i mean seeing how things

actually work in politics and how the

news is you know

generated from absolutely nothing

so i've spent enough time behind the

curtain that i have a very strong

opinion

about whether there's a global elite

like a like a illuminati or something

running the world

and the answer is no

there

are lots of them

there's not one global elite

there there are bunches of them

and they all have their own agenda they

all have their own opinions and they're

all maximizing their own

life basically

and

i would say that it's more

more accurate to say that there are

elite

rich elites for each topic

it's not as if there's one group of

elite people who is trying to affect all

the topics

that definitely doesn't happen

there's nothing like that but there

definitely are secret billionaire

collections of people working behind the

scenes to get what they want that's very

true i can confirm that for sure

so

um

i'm not sure that you need to add the

concept of a new world order

meaning that i don't know if it adds

anything to what you already knew

you already knew that the elites tried

to make things work out in their favor

let me ask you this is your assumption

about the new world order

that it would be better for the power

elites or are they trying to do

something

altruistically that they think would be

better for the the world

what do you think

if you believe the conspiracy theory

i'll call it a conspiracy theory because

wikipedia does

if you follow the new world order idea

um

what are they doing

is it good for the elites or is it good

for the public and they're just trying

to do us a favor

somebody says they're trying to

consolidate power

now that would be consolidate power

meaning that there would be

organizations

that could control things in multiple

countries right

i don't see that happening

what countries are giving up their

sovereignty to the new world order

uh it seems to me that we go on a

case-by-case basis

all right

uh clapper calls it the consensus

community okay

um

new world order is

let's see

malevolent detentions

yeah don't they have conflicting

interests that's right

so

the other thing you have to realize is

that the global elites don't all want

the same thing

some want climate change maybe they've

invested in solar panels some want uh

more regular energy production maybe

they own oil companies right so the

elites are not all in the same team

they're all working for themselves and

they're on every team

somebody says concentration of wealth is

the goal

no it isn't

who has that goal

who has a goal of concentrating wealth

i've never even heard of that

i've heard of the opposite

i've heard of people trying to get

richer of course

so that that's nothing new

i don't know

i just see nothing new here

anyway when biden used the phrase new

world order you should know in context

this is also according to wikipedia

during the 20th century political

figures such as woodrow wilson and

winston churchill

used the term new world order to refer

to a new period of history characterized

by a dramatic change and often follows a

war and stuff

and i i think biden was just using it

generically

i think biden's age especially

connects him to a time when new world

order was a political thing to say that

didn't mean what it means now it wasn't

a conspiracy theory

all right how about this one the fourth

turning

how many of you are believers in uh i

guess steve bannon's big promoter of

this there's a book by that name

how many believe there's an 80 year old

natural cycle

in the world

uh in which you know different

generations act differently depending on

what situation they're born into

and that the 80-year

series

is repeated and predictable

how many by that that is telling you

something useful

and predictable the predictable part is

the important part it's easy to fit any

uh the history to any pattern do you all

know that

you could come up with any kind of weird

way to interpret things and history

usually bears it out

but it's useless if it can't predict

so hind casting is easy but then say

okay if now we understand the world we

can predict what will happen but they

can't do the predicting part

which means that the hind casting wasn't

especially

you know useful

all right

somebody says read generations the

history of american future the same

authors right as the fourth turning

but

here's my take so i did you know a

shallow dive on this

according to my shallow dive i would say

the 80-year cycle

is closer to astrology than anything to

worry about

because i think it comes down to

civilization goes through periods of

lots of change

and that war is often part of that

i mean

i'm not sure this is adding anything

because it's not predictive at all

if you tell me that the fourth turning

can predict

i tell you

anybody can predict

um sometime in the next 20 years it'll

be like a big up

what do you think

do you think i got it right

yeah probably

all right

um

that brings us to the conclusion of

the best live stream there ever has been

and if you would like to

uh

enjoy this extra

i'm going to give you a little something

extra here at the end

that will only work for twenty percent

of you

that's that's roughly the number of

people this will work for

in a moment

i'm going to tell you that your day is

going to be awesome

and then i'm gonna i'm gonna snap my

fingers

and it will become true

now for 20 of you this will actually

work

because that's about how many people are

easily persuadable

so simply having me tell you that today

is going to be great

we'll actually make it happen at least

in your subjective

movie that runs in your head

your problems might be exactly the same

you might you might not solve any

problems

but if you believe

then it'll happen

for 25 of you and so youtube

you're going to have a great day today

enjoy
