People, good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization, the best livestream you're about to ever see. Yeah, this will be the one you're talking about for I don't know, minutes. And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that can only be understood by meth addicts, then all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tankard or a canteen or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day. It's the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.

Yeah, that's pretty good. I could feel the simultaneity. It was especially crisp today.

Well, I've got so many stories I don't know where to begin. I'll just go over all of them.

I have been doing affirmations to try to solve the drought in California, and I see this map. I don't know if you can see it, but there's all these green flashing things like a real bunch of energy that's coming in. And I don't know if you can tell, but that's heading exactly to my house. See, my house is right there, and this green energy is heading right toward it. Now this would only be the second time this week that I've attracted more energy than I expected to me. That's probably a coincidence anyway. It's called an atmospheric river, and it's coming hard. It looks like the drought in California is going to get a little relief until the forest fires.

Last night on Gutfeld, how many of you saw Russell Brand on Gutfeld? That was a lot of fun. Probably my favorite Gutfeld episode so far. I love the fact that Gutfeld is a number one show so he can get the best guests. Now he had Vivek Ramaswamy on the other day and Russell Brand, and that's so much fun watching all these people come into a, let's say, an unstructured, sort of chaotic, funny environment. Everybody has to be in a different character. Then it's really fun to watch.

One of the things Russell Brand has said, I don't think he said it on Gutfeld last night but he said it somewhere else, he said the thing they fear most is people with different political perspectives coming together. I guess today would be the uni-party, you know, the people in power. That does feel right, doesn't it? It does feel right because if people who were on opposite sides of things came together, you get a lot done.

There's some system, I forget what country it was, where most of the government decisions are by referendum, even the big federal ones. Does anybody remember what system that is? Is it the Swiss? The Swiss. There might be other systems like that as well. But doesn't that make more sense to you? Because we have this weird situation in America where there are issues that are overwhelmingly popular, let's say 60 to 40. That's pretty overwhelming. And if 60 percent of the public wants something and they understand it well enough to know what they're asking for, it doesn't make any sense that that has to go through Congress. We should just vote on it. Like, okay, 60 percent of you want that, let's do it.

Now I can imagine that maybe you don't go with the referendum if it's close, because then maybe you want your experts in Congress to tell you what you missed or something. But if it's 60-40 and we understand the issue, I think we ought to just do an end run around Congress. I don't know any way to fix this system that's constitutional. Amendment, probably so impractical.

All right, here's your media lesson in how to interpret, or actually spot, fake news. So you may have seen the clip of Representative Goldman who is talking to Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, I think at a congressional event. And he said, quote, "Even with Twitter you cannot find evidence of any direct government censorship of any lawful speech. And why I say lawful, I mean non-criminal speech." Did you catch the weasel word? I'll read it again. Remember, there's only one word in the whole sentence that's the weasel word that changes its meaning. Okay, you found it. "Direct." The word is "direct," right?

I'll read it again. "Even with Twitter you cannot find evidence of any direct government censorship." If I hadn't called out the word "direct" and you're just sort of casually listening, wouldn't you assume that the government never tried to get anything censored at Twitter? Because they never directly did it. All they did was continuously ask Twitter to do it. But once you've asked Twitter to do it, it's not direct. It's not direct because Twitter's doing it. So what are you even talking about? All we did is put some kind of soft, continuous, persuasive pressure on them by sending the FBI in to talk to them. And you know, when the FBI comes in, people just say, "I'm not going to do what you say just because you're the FBI." That's the way normal people work, isn't it, in a corporation? So of course there was no coercion or influence because they didn't ask directly.

That's the best we have in Congress, right? He's one of the best. That's why this guy got to talk. He got to talk because he's one of the good ones. Like, hey, let's send Representative Goldman to talk. He's got some weasel words that you've never even heard.

Equity is for losers. Literally, you know, Black America it seems, and a lot of their allies, are pushing for this thing called equity, equity of outcomes. And I say to myself, hypothetically, if you divided a bunch of young people of any colors or ethnicities, you just randomly divide them into two groups. You say, all right, group one, we're going to have you focus on equity. We want something like similar outcomes for people. So organize your life toward being mediocre. Try. If you work really hard, I think we can get you up to average. All right, so that's one group. But you'll also be dragged by systemic racism and the ghosts of the past. But if you can work through all that, the system will help you get up to average. You can be medium too.

Now the other group, be they white or Black or Asian Americans, whatever, you say to them, all right, here's the deal. We're going to teach you how to focus on the future, build a talent stack, and we're going to try to get you to excel. You're the ones who are going to have the tools of success, and you're going to use these tools to be better, better than people who don't know how to do it. You're going to go as high as you could possibly go. Not everyone will reach the top, of course, but you're going to outperform ordinary people who don't know how to do this kind of thing. All right, then check back in a few years. Which group is doing better?

Well, what if you get what you try to get? The people who wanted equity achieved mediocrity just like they wanted. The people who are learning to excel probably beat the average. On average, who was happier? Equity is for losers. Every time you hear equity you should say, you know, why are you shooting low? Why would you shoot for medium? Why wouldn't you shoot for Black Americans excelling beyond the average of other groups? Is that racist? Would it be racist to say, look, Black Americans, if you learn these tools of success and the rest of the world doesn't, or at least any more than they already are, you can beat them, right? You're already beating them in sports, fashion, music. You can beat them at everything if you use the right strategy. It's just a strategy. I think that would work. But equity is for losers. That's like shooting for the middle.

And hypothetically, if I let this is sort of impossible in the real world, but imagine if I specifically could train a generation of Black Americans, young Black Americans, the tools of success. You know, systems over goals and don't get hung up on passion and how to calculate the odds and how to persuade people, you know, just all the tools of success, how to negotiate, how to handle money, you know, basic stuff. If I did that for let's say five years, or let's say I educated a generation, I just did it every day, how long would it take for Black Americans to surpass the performance economically? How long would it take for the Black Americans I trained to surpass white Americans, especially who did not have the same training? Right, because poor white Americans also don't hear the tools for success. It's something that high income people are more likely to be around. I think it would take one generation. Some people said five to ten years. That might not be wrong. That might not be wrong. But you know, the big drag on Black America's education, so that's got to be job one.

Biden is such a lying guy that nobody can tell if he's got dementia or he's just making up stuff. So he actually says in public that, quote, "MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police." MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police. The president of the United States, Joe Biden, said that in public and didn't seem to think he needed to correct it because it's literally the opposite of reality. Do you think that's a lie or that he actually can't discern reality anymore? Because it doesn't look like a lie anyone would tell, does it? I mean, yeah, maybe it's just projection. Maybe they project so much it's just automatic, even ridiculous projection. I actually don't know on this one. I can't tell. Lying or dementia? Let's take a vote. Lying or dementia? Go. Is he lying? He knows it, or is it just dementia? If it's both then he doesn't know it, but I'm saying does the dementia cause it? I'm not saying he has dementia, but he knows enough to lie. Yeah, both. He could have both, but the cause of this specific lie isn't both. It's one or the other, I think. Well, maybe it could be both. I don't know. Anyway, that's our mystery of the day.

I found the best tweet ever about January 6. This comes from John Thompson who tweets this: "January 6, 2021. A day that will live in hyperbole." I'm just going to let that sit there for a minute. A day that will live in hyperbole. That's just such a keeper, isn't it? As soon as you hear that, like, okay, I'm going to use that. That's a keeper. It's a day that will live in hyperbole. You want Tucker Carlson to say that, tell me. Don't you want Tucker to do a monologue and say, we're talking about January 6, 2021, a day that will live in hyperbole. So yeah, I don't think John Thompson would mind if his joke got stolen. I'm giving him credit here, but people would recognize that if somebody used this joke. It's a good joke, well constructed.

There were two stories in the news today about hot grandmothers. Are you noticing that there's a lot more stories about literally grandmothers who are unusually attractive? One of them is model Polina Porizkova or whatever. She's like 58, I think, and she did a shoot where she looks like 19. You know, from let's say the neck down she looks 19. I don't know what kind. Now I'm talking about, well, I don't know if cosmetic surgery, but even her torso looks like it's 19 years old. So I don't know how you do that. Probably some, probably a little bit of work. A little bit of work.

But now Representative Boebert is going to have a kid. She doesn't, or a grandkid. She does not look old enough to have a grandkid, but I think she started early. The whole idea of a grandparent, like it doesn't look the same anymore, does it? She's 36, so be soon. Yeah, I knew a 36-year-old grandmother. I've actually known a few of them. I've known a few 36-year-old grandmothers.

Well, here's the biggest news that you won't understand because nobody could. GPT-4 is about to come out in maybe a few weeks, and reportedly it will have multimodal flavors. I saw in one tweet. In other words, it will do video. Just think about that. GPT-4 will be the AI upgrade from GPT-3 that is blowing everybody's mind. My understanding is that version 4 won't be just a little bit better. Is that what you're hearing? It's not like, oh, this is going to be 25 percent better or something like that. I feel like it's like a 10x or 100x, right? It's like 10 or 100 times more powerful. And the one we have is scary now. Now make it, I don't know what the number is, but make it way, way more powerful and then give it video, which it can manipulate to look like photorealistic things. You can make a movie by talking into it, I think. I mean, we'll wait, but I believe that I could take my book *God's Debris* and just read it, or it already knows it because the book has been available for free on the internet for years. So you might have seen it because it's just there on the internet. So if it read everything on the internet, maybe it read it. So I could just say, hey, have you read *God's Debris*? And then GPT-4 says, yes, I am familiar with it. Then I say, can you make me a movie that will correspond to the scenes and then have the characters speak the dialogue? Boop, there it is. I believe I can create a movie in 10 seconds. I think that's going to be, and if it's not this version and if it's not GPT-4, it might be two separate pieces of AI that you have to use. But if you put the two of them together, I think you're going to make movies by just saying read this book and make a movie out of it. I think that's real. Or read the script. So we have no idea what's coming.

I saw a demonstration today. Chris France tweeted this about another AI called Midjourney, and he showed four photographs and asked you if you could tell which of the four was the real one and which were generated by AI. Now it was a trick. They were all generated by AI. They looked perfect. I think one of the characters had four fingers, but if you didn't look closely you wouldn't notice. It's sort of realistic now. So the days of being able to know that what you're looking at is real are absolutely gone from this point on, and really earlier. If you believe that something's true because you saw a video or a photograph, it actually means nothing now. It means nothing because the fakes will look just like the real.

Speaking of that, there's a video on the internet of a Russian helicopter photographing a UFO. Well, that flew near and around it. Now would you be surprised to know that the photography is not really clear? Interesting, huh? Because apparently the Russian aircraft was at the same speed as the UFO. It was like flying right next to it. If you fly right next to something and you take out your smartphone and go click and you're traveling at the same speed so it's as if you're not moving at all, wouldn't you get a pretty good picture? No? Don't you think you could get at least one good clear picture? And there is video. Video especially, like at least some point, it should be in focus. But no, somehow it's not clear. And here's the funniest thing. It's shaped like a flying disc. I'll say a flying disc. That's a little too on the nose. Flying disc from Russia. Sorry, Russia. Nice try, but we're not buying that UFO.

Here's more evidence that I might be sensationally right about something that you believe I'm sensationally wrong about. And before we talk about Ukraine, I'll give my disclaimer. No, I don't believe any reporting about Ukraine. No, I don't believe the narrative that Ukraine is about to win. It looks like it sometimes. Sometimes it looks the other way. But no, you can't tell who's going to win. You can't tell how it's going to go. So the next thing I say is under the umbrella of we don't know what's going on over there. It's just something fun to talk about. I say it twice because sometimes you don't hear it the first time. That's why.

So here's new reporting from CNN. The Wagner Group is complaining viciously that they can't even get a phone call through to the Kremlin because they keep asking for ammo because they're running out of ammo. The most important fighting group, the Wagner Group in Russia, is not even answering their calls anymore. At the same time, the Russian army says, hey, they're giving all of our ammo to the Wagner Group. Now CNN's reporting had the actual soldiers from Russia saying they don't have ammo. The Wagner Group is getting it. They have the head of the Wagner Group, his own quotes publicly saying that he can't get any ammo because it's going somewhere. Now with those two stories together, would you conclude that Russia is running out of ammo? Yes or no? Given that we can't believe anything, can't believe anything. But when you conclude they're running out of ammo, yeah, I would say it's too soon, wouldn't you agree? Too soon. I think it's too soon because first of all all the reporting is hard to believe, but also there could be a strategic reason. They could be stockpiling it for a big push. That's possible. And this isn't yet the big push. They could be withholding it so the Wagner Group doesn't go further, right? They might want their army to just be holding until they're ready for like a really big push.

But if you add it with yesterday's story that they were using their so-called best missiles and lots of them, that kind of suggests the running out of regular stuff is sort of, I mean it not necessarily, but at this point all signs are pointing toward running out of ammo. Now as I've told you before, you don't have to get to zero ammo before everything falls apart, am I right? You don't have to run out before everything falls apart. You just have to be not enough, and then you're going to retreat instead of fight because you don't have enough. If you don't have enough ammo, the smartest thing to do is retreat, right? Am I wrong about that? You know, if you don't have any other kind of advantage, because you want to wait until you have ammo so you preserve your forces, wait to have ammo and then make another push. So I believe you could have a complete systems failure with just an ammo shortage, not running out. And I don't know what that shortage is. It could be not much. It could be imagine if 10 percent of your forces didn't have ammo, or everybody had ammo but nobody had enough to like get through a conflict. The degree that you would have to restrict the ammo probably is not as much as you think before the whole thing falls apart.

Now remember my other conspiracy theory hypothesis. You should put no weight behind this idea because it's purely speculative. My belief is that the Wagner Group head is getting too important and he has to be taken out by Putin. And the best way to take him out is to let him die or let his forces get degraded before Putin negotiates for peace. Because the last thing he wants is this souped-up, fully armed Wagner Group to be sort of repatriated from the war into the country. And now there's like a standing army that doesn't report to Putin, you know, not directly. And they might be pissed at the Russian government for who knows what, everything basically. So I think Putin might need to have to take the Wagner Group out before he can negotiate peace. So I think he's grinding up the Wagner Group so it looks like Russia has an offense but making sure they don't win too hard because that's not even going to help him. You know, winning a little extra isn't going to help him a lot because I think he wants to negotiate his way out. So speculation, speculation. I wouldn't put a bet on it, but it looks to me like there's two things going on. They're literally running out of ammo, but on top of that not running out but they're running low. And then on top of that I think Putin's trying to take the Wagner Group out because he has to. I'll just put that out there for fun. See what happens.

Here's a spotting of systems being better than goals out in the wild. So I saw a tweet from a Twitter user Brent Arel who said the most dangerous career move anyone can make is pursuing education and training strictly on the basis of an economic future that is unknowable and therefore almost completely imaginary. What do you think? Given that the future is super unpredictable at the moment, should you get educated because your education, you don't know if it'll be useful? Well, a writer who does some articles for the Washington Examiner and books and stuff, Tim Carney, said this. He said amateurs think chess masters are planning eight moves ahead. Chess masters know that's impossible. They are thinking about two moves ahead and asking, quote, "How can I put myself in the best position for whatever the heck might come my way?"

Now you recognize that as systems thinking, right? A system is you don't know where it's going to end up but you know if you put this piece in this part of the board it will sort of control an area. So the chess player is playing a system. Obviously there's a goal of winning the game but that's trivial. I mean it's obvious. But the system is not to plan eight in advance. The system is to control territory and you know that sort of thing.

So what about that in your life? So this is what I tell you is that you should develop a talent stack that can give you all kinds of options, right? You want to develop the kinds of skills that would work in every environment. For example, good communication will work in every environment. Being good at dealing with people and negotiating probably works in 90 percent of environments. Yeah, so there are a whole bunch of things that work in any environment. And so you want a system to be as flexible as possible, not a system that prepares you for exactly one thing. Although if you're learning to be a doctor that probably makes sense.

Here's a Wall Street Journal had a really interesting article of something I never would have thought about. That China is having a cousin and uncle shortage. Is that weird? So in traditional Chinese culture you got big families and the family is your support structure, you know, more so than even the government. So if you get this big extended family, one of the advantages is you're more mobile. Because for example when I moved to California I probably would not have except my brother was already here. So if you have a family member who's already in America for example, it's a lot easier to move to America, right? Just having that family structure. But because of the population bomb that's happening in China where there's just fewer and fewer babies, families are also getting smaller. Not only do you have fewer babies or no babies but your cousin didn't have a baby either. So now your family support structure is shrinking. And that would have in theory an enormous impact on China's resilience and economy, which I've never thought of that. The only reason I bring it up is that it's one of those things that could be a big thing that I've literally never thought about. But it also could get solved easily by workarounds, etc. So just keep an eye on that.

The Academy Awards has hired a crisis team to keep Chris Rock from getting slapped again. I guess no, not Chris Rock, but just to keep any trouble. Now here's where our system goes wrong every time. So Chris Rock gets slapped one time in the history of anything. There was a problem one time. But you're the Academy Awards. Can you act as if you're not going to do anything about it? Now I guess they maybe kicked Will Smith out of their academy or something or he quit. I don't know. So they could do something like little symbolic things. But it feels like if you're in charge you've got to show you're doing something like something physical or you're making a change.

So imagine some group comes in and pitches to the Academy Awards people, hey, you had a problem. This is bad PR because people think, my God, you haven't done anything about it. You could hire my company and we'll put in this crisis management team and they'll be basically guarding people from getting on stage, right? Just guarding people. So what happens is how can the Academy Awards say no to somebody offering physical guards to solve the problem that maybe people think is a real problem but really just happened once? So as soon as this stuff starts getting monetized, all right, then this company is the crisis group for just the Academy Awards. Do you think that group would say, hey, let's talk to the Golden Globes people. They have the same problem. Of course they would, right? Then pretty soon every event would have to hire a crisis management group.

The way our free market works is amazing and stupid at the same time because people will sell whatever anybody can buy. And sometimes what people want to buy is completely irrational. So keep in mind when you're seeing things like ESG and CRT and DEI, there's somebody like this hypothetical crisis management group who's selling a package of services. And that's why it's a thing. It's not a thing because a whole bunch of people thought it was a good idea. Even though they did, it's a thing because somebody's selling it. And as soon as somebody's selling it and then it becomes a fixture of our reality, then everything's distorted and terrible. So it's just an example of how once we monetize hate you get more hate. There's no way around it. So with social media monetizes hate because you get more clicks for hate. Now yeah, so you're going to get what you monetize.

I'm having a feeling that all of human society needs to be re-engineered like almost start from scratch. Now I would agree with you that the classic family structure would be the best, but I don't see any way to force people into it or even incentivize them. You know, you could change the financial incentives, but I feel like the horse has left the barn. Meaning people just don't want to be married in large numbers. They just don't want it. And I kind of understand. Yeah, I tried it a few times. Like I get it. I get it.

But here's some indications that all of society is falling apart. Teens who meet up with their friends, I saw this. Rex Woodbury tweeted it. Teens who meet up with their friends almost every day is down from 50 percent in the 90s to 25 percent today. That's a crisis. Half of teens used to hang out with friends every day. Now it's only 25 percent. Human contact keeps us healthy. This is a health crisis. And then you add the mental health crisis, the fentanyl crisis. Your kids have more than ever, I think. And of course this effect happened at the same time that smartphones were introduced, of course. And then the other things that smartphones have caused.

I want to see if this is a gender, say is this a gender reality or a gender, sexism, sexism, a reality. Here's your am I sexist or reality. True or false. If a husband texts his wife and she does not respond for a few hours, he might not like it but it wouldn't be a problem. Am I right? You wouldn't like it but it wouldn't be a problem. If the wife texts the husband and he doesn't respond in 15 minutes, is it a fight? Probably. See, even the most basic interactions of male and female, now some of you are disagreeing but it's sort of a thing. I think we've all noticed even the basic interactions between men and women is being ruined by phones.

I can't walk into another room without my phone without worrying that somebody's going to call in an emergency. I don't know what kind of calls you get but if I get a call it's somebody who's standing in line somewhere and they need an immediate answer because they're actually in line and if they get to the front of the line and it's only two people they can't do the thing that they wanted to do and you'll be sorry. Like all of my calls are an emergency. I've got somebody standing here right now and I can't do the thing or your roof is leaking. I mean it's all emergencies. So I never can get a minute away from my phone. But I don't think it works the other way.

I'm going to give you a different filter on the World Economic Forum that I call the Dilbert filter. There's a filter which is the World Economic Forum wants to change the great reset and change everything. And let's say that that's a valid theory. Let's say that's a theory. I'm going to offer you a second explanation and I want you to compare it to your current thinking about the WEF master plan to change the economy and take away all your stuff. So this comes from Naomi Klein and it was in The Intercept in 2020. I hadn't seen it until now. But she says, I'll just read one of her sentences. "Great Reset is not a serious effort to actually solve the crises it describes. On the contrary, it is an attempt to create a plausible impression that the huge winners in this system, in other words rich people, are on the verge of voluntarily setting greed aside to get serious about solving the raging crises that are radically destabilizing our world."

I'm sorry, I don't care what any of you believe about the World Economic Forum. Once you see this frame it's so obvious that's what's happening. No, of course they don't mean any of this stuff. Of course they don't. The whole thing is to make you think they mean it. They don't do anything. All they do is bring all the rich people together and say, you know, these rich people don't even want to make money. They don't even care about money. Let me tell you, the rich people in this room, these are the ones who want to solve climate change for you no matter how much it costs them. Even if they have to give up their Maseratis, they're going to work for your benefit by joining a meeting and talking. And you might say, but what have they changed? To which I say, well they certainly have proposed things. I know, but like what's actually happened? Well have you seen the ten point plan? I know, but it was actually different because of the World Economic Forum. Well have you noticed that the things they're recommending are part of the trend? Yeah, but that doesn't mean they did anything.

This is my current belief about the World Economic Forum. It's a Dilbert situation where rich people are just covering their asses and creating this basically effectively it's a human PowerPoint presentation that says they're doing the right things but they're not doing the right things. They're not doing the right things. The other possibility is that they mean all this crazy that you think they really mean. I'm sorry if you believe that they believe a plan to do any of that crazy that you've heard about. It's all signaling. That's my current belief. Now that doesn't mean that's what they're thinking, just to be clear. That doesn't mean that when Jamie Dimon goes there or whoever it doesn't mean he's thinking, all right I gotta go do the theater. None of this is going to happen. I don't want it to happen. I'm just going to go do the theater. I doubt it's that simple. It's just everybody knowing what's in their interest. This is the George Carlin explanation. You don't need a conspiracy when everyone knows what they need to do. They all know what they need to do. The World Economic Forum doesn't invite stupid people unless they're celebrities, am I right? So it's basically brilliant business people and leaders and idiots, celebrities, so that you'll think, oh they really agree with those celebrities. It looks like it's a whole bunch of people that even celebrities are on board with us. I think all the rich people are like, oh cool, we get to go someplace and meet some celebrities and get out of town and go skiing. And when we get back we can say we're working on the big problems of reality when nothing like that is happening. It's kind of brilliant.

I watched in horror as Representative Sylvia Garcia, Democrat from Texas, tried to embarrass Matt Taibbi and then Michael Shellenberger at this congressional hearing. And I'm not even going to give you the details of the ridiculous questions she asked. I'm just going to tell you that I've never seen two people react in a more perfect way to that level. The normal way to react when somebody says to you you're in public and you're being grilled is you either get the button-down approach like, yes Representative, I understand what you're saying but my reasoning is this. All right, and that's never really good because it's just somebody acting reasonable and then somebody's slapping them over and over again. The other way is to react angrily. No, no, you're lying. We did not say that or that did not happen or you're exaggerating. Right, and those can make you look bad too. I mean you could win that way but it gives you, you know. But what Taibbi and Shellenberger did was just the best. They just couldn't keep the smiles off their face, which was clearly signaling, oh my God, you see this too, right? The look on their face was to the audience, you see this too, don't you? Oh, it was perfect. It was just perfect. Now I don't think they planned that. I think it was just spontaneous. I think they were actually amused. Like they didn't look like they were acting. I think they were about to break out laughing because the Democrat was looking so stupid at that moment. So that was kind of perfect.

I loved watching Anderson Cooper interview Adam Schiff. So he had the three faces on screen and the three boxes. So Adam Schiff was on the left and Anderson Cooper in the middle interviewing, and Adam Kinzinger was there. And Adam Schiff was trying to, see I can't even talk about Adam Schiff without laughing because it's now just so not serious anymore. Like Adam Schiff is just like the worst. And Watergate guy, you know, once you've ascended to pure comedy. So he gets on there and he says that Tucker Carlson is trying to gaslight the country by showing actual footage of what happened. And now I get it that that video footage could be misleading as was the January 6 video footage. But it's a little disingenuous to be complaining that the very thing you just did is being done by the other side. Like we don't notice. Like nobody noticed that the entire context is that Tucker Carlson only has that video because you did this thing in front of the world in the biggest possible way, which is distorting the story by selective edits. And the balls of this guy to accuse the other side of what he's literally the most famous practitioner of is it's just like a comedy act.

Now some of you say he's projecting. You know, the Tucker Carlson thing, they always blame you of the thing they're doing. But it's a perfect example. Now what I loved about the story is not what Schiff said. It's Anderson Cooper's face as he listens to Schiff essentially defending CNN at the same time, not intentionally. But keep in mind that CNN had reported the January 6 event like it was real. Think about that. CNN covered the January 6 committee like it was all real. And now it's very clear that the thing was closer to a hoax, which I've said from the beginning. So CNN really can't hide from the fact that they covered the story as real and it's now pretty obvious some portion of it was just pure hoax. Would you agree with that? Do you agree with that statement that it's now obvious that the January 6 committee was just an operation and they reported it as real the entire time? Now isn't that embarrassing to hear them? All right, is that, yeah I would think that's embarrassing.

So Anderson Cooper's in the middle and what I tweeted was, I can't read minds but Anderson Cooper's face suggests he's not pleased with the liars that turned CNN into the dumbest fly on turd mountain. And the only reason I'm telling you this story is that I'm so proud of that phrase, the dumbest fly on turd mountain. I welcome you to borrow it and I'm going to give you full copyright to that phrase. And here's the best part. Don't give me credit if you use it, right? Like if you're talking to your relatives or something, you know they don't follow, just act like you made that one up. You have my approval to attribute it to your own good thinking. Right, it's yours. I release it to you. Just say there. But you have to sell it. You gotta sell it like you just came up with it. I said, I tell you, and Adam Schiff, he's making CNN look like the dumbest fly on turd mountain. And try to sell it like it's always been a saying. Yeah, try to make it look like, oh you haven't heard that one? Oh yeah, it's, yeah you don't want to be the dumbest fly on turd mountain. My grandfather used to say that. Not really, but you can tell people. Yeah, you don't want to die on turd hill. Well there's an upgrade. You know how people always say don't die on that hill? I think it's more effective you say, well if I were you I wouldn't die on turd hill.

Then I saw Adam Schiff appearing on MSNBC with Lawrence, Lawrence whatever his name is. He's got his own show. I remember he doesn't like hammering Lauren somebody. And the Schiff was saying that Fox News is only acting because they care about the money and the ratings. So he was on MSNBC whose ratings are in the toilet reminding them that they shouldn't care so much about ratings. Has any Democrat ever given good advice? Do not get your economic advice from a Democrat. So Adam Schiff telling a struggling network with falling ratings that they shouldn't worry so much about the ratings and the money. Oh no, you know what MSNBC should be struggling for? Equity. Equity. Yeah, yeah, I think CNN and MSNBC, they should be trying to achieve equity in the news business while Fox News is trying to be the best in the business and will lap them and destroy them. But hey, equity.

And the only reason I bring that up is to make fun of the fact that I don't know who Lawrence, Lawrence O'Donnell, okay I didn't know his name. That was really my main point. Oh yeah, and Schiff is trying to get advertisers to stop advertising on Fox News. The only people who advertise on Fox News are pharmaceutical companies and that got canceled and some charity stuff. Yeah, usually something about veterans. Like could Fox News have any fewer advertisement options than they have? Yeah, they've got canceled. MyPillow guy, bunch of pharmaceuticals that maybe they shouldn't have. Although I haven't seen as many lately. I haven't seen as many pharmaceutical ads and maybe there's a reason for that. Yeah, St. Jude's. So it's either charity or somebody canceled. It's not like Fox News has a lot of options.

This might feel like a repeat but it looks like Trump's about to be indicted. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Should I even read this story? All right, this is the best one yet. So this is in the genre of the walls are closing in. We got it this time. We got him this time. Yeah, finally. And let me describe how the news tries to deal with this as a real story, right? They want to sell this as something that's real. So all right, so what's happening is that New York, I guess Manhattan prosecutor Attorney Alvin Bragg, he's notifying attorneys. I heard this in the New York Post that the commander, the ex-commander-in-chief Trump is going to be asked to defend himself in front of a grand jury hearing. Now people in the know say that if you're asked to defend yourself in front of a grand jury it's indication that it's sort of the last step before they indict. So there's the signal is very clear that the intention is to indict.

So how strong is this claim? Let's see. It involves Stormy Daniels payments. They think Trump will decline the offer. And it's unclear what charges Bragg intends to bring against Trump. But the report notes from the New York Post, the report notes that prosecutors could accuse the former president of falsifying business records. That'll put him away forever, won't it? Falsifying some business records. Not tax records but just some business records. Falsifying some business records. And then they could, here's the good part, they could elevate that charge to a felony because otherwise you know it's not going to keep him out of office or anything. But they get elevated to a felony by arguing that it was attached to a second crime. What? So apparently if you do something that's not too important but they can attach it to another thing that's not important, the two of the things that are not that important can be conflated into a felony charge. They are literally coming up with imaginary crimes. That is an imaginary crime. If you have to take two non-crimes and add them together and argue there's a connection and then when you connect them the two are greater than the sum of the parts.

Now I get that you know that could look like a RICO thing. Like a RICO thing is a whole bunch of things that suggest it's all connected and stuff. So I don't know. To me, well I'm just going to go with the mainstream. The walls are closing in. They got him this time. Once they conflate those two small things into a big felony the jury is likely to go for that. It does not seem even slightly dangerous. And imagine that Trump, imagine this is the last thing he has left. It could be like the last legal thing and it would mean that all of them were nothing. They're either trivial or just absolutely made up or nothing.

New York Post also reports that privately it leads to DeSantis says he's in the race. Do you believe that? Do you believe that DeSantis is definitely already decided? He's already created a structure and he's just waiting to May to announce. It's believable. It's believable. But I feel like there was something else I would need to know. And I think what I would need to know is what is his thinking about Trump. Could it be that he's preparing without spending too much money or time? Could he be preparing in case Trump doesn't run? Let's say you get some legal problems or something else. Maybe Trump has a health problem. You know, anything could happen between now and May. Is it possible he's just getting ready in case and that his intention to run is conditional on what Trump does? Because I could see that usually being confused as an intention to run when it might be a conditional intention to run. As in if this happens and if this happens I'll run. You know it's always conditional I guess. In reality everything's conditional. You can change your mind at any time. But does that sound right? Does it sound like it might be conditional and maybe he sees how he polls or something before he makes a decision? Yeah.

Well I would, do you think the world is better if DeSantis gets in and pushes Trump? Because I love the fact that Vivek Ramaswamy's in the race because he's definitely made the primary better. He's already made Republicans better. Republicans, I think. Yeah, well we'll see. It'll be interesting. I guess I'd like to see him get in just because I like competition.

Tim Poole had Kash Patel on his show and he gives two reasons to suspect that Ray Epps was a Fed working on January 6 for the feds. Here is two reasons. One of them is one I gave you. First he says that Epps was on FBI's most wanted list for one day and the next day he was off. There are only two ways that happens. You die or you become an informant. Now remember Kash Patel was a prosecutor so he's worked sources. So when he says there's only one, you know there's only one way or two ways you can get off the FBI's most wanted list, he's not guessing. He's not guessing. There's only two ways. I mean maybe there's some weird third way. And then the other point is the one I gave. When the representative from the FBI, I forget which one, was asked by Ted Cruz under oath were there any FBI agents involved in January 6, she refused to answer. And as Kash points out and I pointed out, when it happens if the answer was no you would not say we don't talk about that stuff, am I right? If the answer is just no you say no because you wouldn't be giving up any secrets and you would resolve the matter or you'd be closer to resolving it right there. I don't see any way that Ray Epps wasn't up to something with the government. I don't know what. It doesn't necessarily mean that he was hired to cause the riot. It could be that he just wanted to do it anyway. But it could be that they were going to ask him for information about it or it would help him get into the, maybe he would help him infiltrate more MAGA organizations or something. So it's possible that he was working for the feds but not in some assertive way that caused the violence to happen. Maybe he was just there to watch and observe and they're trying to work with him to make him more of a source in the future. Maybe. I don't know. So there is some room for Ray Epps could be working for the feds. I don't want him to sue me so I'll just say allegedly. And it's still not being what you think. Is that a possibility? Is it a possibility that he was totally working for the government but that it wasn't a big deal? It was just one of the many people there trying to turn into informants. Anything is possible. That's right.

So DeSantis is picking up free money again. As I often say he will do the thing that when he does it you wonder why everybody else didn't do it first. Have you noticed that quality about DeSantis? He's really good at it like consistently. Here's the next one. This is just free money. Best tennis player in the world I think still, Novak Djokovic, is not allowed in the country for the Miami Open which is a huge event in the country, much less or even much more for Florida, because he's not vaccinated. It's 2023. The healthiest man in the world can't come into the country because he's not vaccinated. He might be the healthiest person in the world if you've ever seen him train and play. I mean he's in really good shape.

So DeSantis somehow cleverly realizing that this ban was about airline travel, he asked the Biden administration to confirm that Djokovic would be let into Florida if he came by boat. Because apparently you can come by boat but not airline. What? Are you kidding me? That's a real thing. That's a real thing. And the government hasn't moved to fix it. So the government should either make the boats require the vaccination or make the airlines not. But it's just absurd to have the difference. So apparently DeSantis wants to make a boat available. Now what do you do about that except standing ovation? Am I wrong? I mean let's just standing ovation. Stuff yeah that's, there is just no other reaction to that. You just can't react any other way. Standing ovation. That's it. And he just keeps doing that.

War on the cartels. So more I guess Lindsey Graham and who else, Senator John Kennedy, are putting through some legislation to make the cartels terrorist organizations which would unleash the military upon them. I believe Ted Cruz is more in favor of financial actions. What do you think would be the best play? Financial only plus whatever else we're doing? Financial only or direct military action? Both. Yeah I'm going to say both because that's what it took to beat ISIS, am I right? ISIS was a military plus financial and Trump did seem to succeed in defeating ISIS. It does look like it. It looks like it to me.

So I don't know what will happen but I love the fact that the cartel that kidnapped and then killed two Americans, I love the fact that they apologized. That really happened, right? So if you have a cartel apologizing to the United States that only means one thing. They do not want the military to get involved. Do not. Very much do not. Now what does that tell you? I'll tell you what it tells me. President Trump would solve this in an afternoon. Do you know why? Because once you know they're afraid of the military you negotiate with them directly. Imagine Trump talking to the heads of the cartels because I think he could get a call. I think Trump could actually get the heads of the cartel on the phone, don't you? I mean if they thought they could do it without getting caught I think so. And I think he could say directly we're gonna up your and it's going to happen fast. If you want to get out of the death ray that's coming your way and you can't get out of it the only thing you can do is negotiate. And that negotiation means you stop sending stuff to us. Maybe we help you turn your operation into something positive. For example would it be crazy to say that they had, whoever the leaders of the cartels are, look we're very impressed with your organizational skills. We're also going to kill you in a week. But if you'd like to, Mexico needs a lot of industry and if you'd like to do what American robber barons did in this country which is you start by doing some really sketchy illegal, become a robber baron and then you try to move your operation into legal businesses like Crocker. You know you was one of the guys with the Transcontinental Railroad. Those guys were all just bastards and you know they're just the worst people in the world by today's standards of course. Even then by their standards they were just horrible people, terrible crooks. And when they got rich the thing they needed more than anything is to make their kids and their kids' kids not live under the yoke of some criminal organization. So I believe that Trump could actually, I keep using that word, I think he could actually talk some of the cartels into taking a better offer because the other offer is dead and there's no negotiating on that. You either take the offer or you're dead in a week. I think that's, I think Trump could get that done. Now you might not be the only one who can get it done but I think you'd be the best. I think you'd be the best. You know I think the others maybe you could do it too.

You know the story about Fauci. You probably noticed I've talked less about Fauci than anybody who does what I do, you know talking about the news. You probably wondered about that. Why don't you talk about Fauci more? We hate Fauci. Help us hate Fauci some more. Well one of the reasons I don't is that I'm very reluctant to go after individuals, right? I'd rather talk about, you know, unless they're president that's different. But I don't like to go after individuals unless I have really solid something solid. It just feels like a dick move to go after an individual because the news is always so wrong that whatever you're accusing somebody of is like what are the odds that's even true? Look at the number of people who came after me in the past couple weeks. How many of them actually knew the story? The ones who came after me, heart, almost none. Almost none. So why do I think this is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect? Why do I think that the reporting on Fauci is accurate? I've seen what the reporting on me is. I know what that looks like, don't I? But why do you think Fauci's is accurate? That would be the most ridiculous assumption that the reporting on Fauci is accurate. That would be ridiculous because it's never accurate when you're talking about public figures. It just never is. It just isn't. You know there's nothing you could do about that. So that's why I hold off with people like Fauci.

I heard horrible damning things which didn't seem totally credible to me. But our current understanding, and I'll say this is all allegations and what other people believe, is that Fauci indirectly funded gain of function in Wuhan. Then when it got out he redirected attention away from the lab. And then he became the leading figure in fixing the pandemic. That if this reporting is true he caused, not by himself of course, but he would be a primary cause. Did this really happen? This whole story is too on the nose, right? It looks like it happened. It looks like that narrative might survive a challenge. It might. But that is just too like a book. And what are the odds that the one guy who funded it is the highest paid person in the government who became a superstar for trying to defeat the virus that he created? Allegedly. Yeah with indirect funding to the lab. That does just on the surface doesn't that strike you as just too, it's a little too neat. You're saying it happened and I'm not even disagreeing because I don't know, right? But that would be the weirdest simulation story of all time if he caused it and then he was in charge of fixing it and then we didn't find out. And how much money do you think Fauci's made? We have no indications but we also don't know what stock he holds, right? Do we know what stock he holds? I don't believe he, he has to report that. If I had to guess and this would be just a guess, probably 80 million dollars he made during the pandemic. If I had to guess just based on he probably over the years he's probably collecting a lot of stock in companies that would make money in a pandemic. Patents maybe. Yeah I don't know. Did he have an interest in Remdesivir? Did somebody say it is some kind of interest in the company that does Remdesivir? I don't know about that. So I'll say that I'm not going to make any accusations about financial gain because I don't have details. But if I had to guess and this isn't even about Fauci, if you just take Fauci out of it and say somebody is a million years old and they've been the central person working for Big Pharma in the virus area for all those years, does he own a substantial stock? Remember he was the highest paid government employee so he had presumably investable funds. But he also probably had some connections where he would get some stock from I don't know startups and stuff. He probably had let's say 10 million dollars of pharma stock before it all started. I don't know if that's true. I'm just speculating. If he had 10 million it probably went to 80 million because everything went through the roof. So he might have made I don't know 20, 80 million dollars during the pandemic. That wouldn't surprise me. Would you be surprised if he had a 10 million dollar portfolio and a lot of it was in pharma? Maybe because he does speeches or worked with people who've got stock. You don't know. He's been around for a long time. Well I'm going to say I'm not totally believing all the stories about Fauci but if it is what it looks exactly like it is that's pretty alarming. That's pretty alarming. It might be. It might be exactly what it looks like.

All right, this ladies and gentlemen was almost the end of my livestream. Let me tell you just before I got out I jumped on a Spaces call and there were a number of Black Americans talking. And when they saw me on there they invited me up and asked me to explain my comments. And how do you think it went when they asked me to explain my comments? Were they receptive? It went very well. All right. I'm actually considering re-identifying as Black because Black Americans have come out of my little drama for the last couple weeks. Black Americans have come out of this really well. Like in my opinion their reaction to it, sometimes horrified but they would be horrified and then ask questions like what did he mean, why did he do it? That's perfect. That's perfect. Because I was being hyperbolic to get people horrified. They were. But instead of canceling me they, in fact the first thing the host said was that it was the white people that canceled me and did I agree with that? Yes, yes absolutely. Black people haven't canceled me from anything. Not a single thing. They mostly say that's very alarming. What are you talking about? Exactly what I wanted. White people just had to signal so they were kind of useless to this. But then I had just enough time to tell them the entire purpose was to attract energy to a point which is if you have people who are looking backwards with their strategy such as CRT that's a backwards look and you compared them to people who have a forward-looking strategy for life. Get a talent stack together, systems over goals, all that stuff. That you just can't compare how successful one group would be to the other. So that was the message I wanted to get through. The systemic racism is real but you can slice through it if you focus on the tools for personal success which would include strategy for getting through systemic racism. And I think I penetrated a bubble because these are things that I've wanted to say for a while but I was just preaching to people who largely already agree with those things. But this was the first time I got invited into what I would consider definitely not my bubble. Now I think a number of them may be leaned right but it was definitely a sort of a Black-centric group and I don't normally get invited to that. So my original intention was to put a message that I think is really useful: focus on personal success and try to penetrate as many bubbles as I can. Now this is a very small success but I definitely got a useful, high-ground, totally practical set of ideas into a bubble where it wouldn't have been. I think that's good. I mean it's a small move but so far my plan is working weirdly well, better than I expected. And beyond that I seem to be invited everywhere. I'm invited everywhere. Remember Fox News seemed to be ignoring my story for a while. I have been invited by Hannity. Hannity invited me but I didn't want to do that yet because I would look too much like people who agree with me because I think he would do what everybody would do: condemn me for what I said. And I even condemned myself for it. I said it to get a reaction so you can't criticize me for doing the thing that I wanted to do that worked really well. I'm not going to apologize for doing a thing I wanted to do that works really well for the people who got offended. No I'm not going to apologize for that.

But Larry Elder also invited me on a show and what do you think of that? Should I do Larry Elder? So it's the same problem. He's going to agree with me. Yeah I saw an article he wrote in Real Clear Politics so I know he's going to be philosophically on the same side and he would identify as a conservative. But I feel like I'm not getting the invitations I want from the left. Do you know why the left is not inviting me? You know, yeah they're afraid. It's literally fear. Yeah you saw what happened when Russell Brand went on MSNBC. Oh he was on the Bill Maher show with the MSNBC guy. All right like you don't want somebody to bring a wildly different idea into your bubble if it could destroy your bubble. Yeah I'm kind of a bubble breaker. In the worst case scenario I'm just dangerous at this point. I'm literally dangerous, wouldn't you agree? I've made myself literally dangerous to the prevailing narrative because I'm now impossible to ignore. I'm impossible to ignore and I have a message that's a high ground message. Meaning as soon as you hear it you say okay that was better than what we were doing. Nobody is going to argue that focusing on personal success for young Black people is a good strategy. Nobody. They will only say but also other things need to be done. And then I'll say how's that working out? How are those other things working out? A lot less systemic racism this year than last? None of it's working. I can agree with all that stuff being important but nobody's doing anything about it. So instead you need to fortify the individual so the individual is invulnerable to the worst parts of systemic racism. You just slice right through it like a hot rod through butter. That's correct. Like a hot rod through butter.

All right so my plan is working out swimmingly well. Let me ask the people who are less familiar with me because there are always a few over on YouTube especially. So YouTubers, have you ever seen me influence beyond the race question? Have you ever seen me influence a national event in a positive way? So just look at the comments. If I ever influence a national event in a positive way, right? So those of you who are not familiar with what I've been doing for the last five years, look at the answers. Now you can ignore the nos because that just means they're not familiar. The yeses are telling you everything you need to know. You wouldn't have that many yeses unless people noticed there's a real thing that's happening that I'm part of. The Locals group is part of it and now you're part of it. Which is anybody who boosts my signal is doing something good. Now not the hyperbolic stuff. Don't boost my hyperbole but boost my reframe. And the reframe is work on your individual success skills and you will do fine. And there you go. Thanks for listening YouTube. I'll be with you again tomorrow. I appreciate you being here.

Papa good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization the best live stream you're about to ever see yeah this will be the one you're talking about for I don't know minutes and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that can only be understood by meth addicts that all you need is a cup of mug or a glass of tank or Chelsea Steiner canteen Joker flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine into the day it's the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous hip yeah that's pretty good I could feel the simultaneity it was especially crisp today well I got so many stories I don't know where to begin I'll just go all of them um I have been doing affirmations to try to solve the the drought in California and I see this map I don't know if you can see it but there's all these green flashing things like a real bunch of energy that's coming in and I don't know if you can tell but that's heading exactly to my house see my house is right there and this green energy is heading right toward it now this would only be the second time this week that I've attracted more energy than I expected to me that's probably a coincidence anyway it's called an atmospheric River and it's coming hard it looks like the drought in California is going to get a little relief until the forest fires all right uh last night on guffeld how many of you saw Russell Brand on Gutfeld that was a lot of fun probably my favorite show so far my favorite got the old episode so far um I love the fact I love the fact that guffel is a number one show so he can get he can get the best guess now he had you know Vivek ramaswami on the other day and Russell Brandon and that's so much fun watching watching all these people come into a let's say a an unstructured sort of chaotic funny environment like everybody everybody has to be in a different character then it's really fun to watch one of the things Russell Brand has said he I don't think he said it on on Garfield last night but he said it somewhere else he said the thing they fear most is people with different political perspectives coming together I guess today would be the uni party you know the people in power that does feel right doesn't it does feel right because if people who were on opposite sides of things came together you get a lot done there's some system I forget what country it was where most of the government decisions are by referendum even the the big Federal ones does anybody remember what system that is is it a Swiss the Swiss there might be other systems like that as well but doesn't that make more sense to you because we have this weird situation in America where there are issues that are overwhelmingly popular let's say 60 to 40 that's pretty overwhelming and if sixty percent of the public wants something and they understand it well enough to know what they're asking for it doesn't make any sense that that has to go through Congress we should just vote on it like okay sixty percent of you want that let's do it now I can imagine that maybe you don't go with the referendum if it's close because then maybe you want your experts in Congress to you know tell you what you missed or something but if it's 60 40 and we understand the issue I think we ought to just do an end run around Congress I don't know any way to fix this system that's Constitutional Amendment probably so impractical all right here's your media lesson in how to interpret uh or actually spot fake news all right so you may have seen the clip of Representative Goldman who is talking to Matt taibi and Michael schellenberger I think at a congressional event and he said quote even with Twitter you cannot find evidence of any direct government censorship of any lawful speech and why I say lawful I mean non-criminal speech did you catch the weasel word I read it again remember there's only one word in the whole sentence that's the weasel word that changes its meaning okay you found it direct the word is direct right I'll read it again even with Twitter you cannot find evidence of any direct government censorship if I hadn't called out the word Direct and you're just sort of casually listening wouldn't you assume that the government never tried to to get anything censored at Twitter because they never directly did it all they did was continuously ask Twitter to do it but once you've asked Twitter to do it it's not Direct it's not Direct because Twitter's doing it so so like what are you even talking about all we did is put some kind of soft continuous persuasive pressure on them by sending the FBI in to talk to them and you know when people when the FBI comes in people just say I'm not going to do what you're what you say just because you're the FBI that's the way normal people work isn't it in a corporation so of course there was no coercion or or influence because they didn't ask directly that's the best we have in Congress right he's one of the best that's why that's why this guy got to talk he got to talk because he's one of the good ones like hey hey let's let's send representative Goldman to talk he's got some weasel words that you've never even heard all right um Equity is for losers literally you know uh Black America it seems and a lot of their allies are pushing for this thing called equity Equity of outcomes and I say to myself hypothetically if you divided a bunch of young people of any any colors or ethnicities you just randomly divide them into two groups you say all right group one we're going to have you focus on equity we want something like you know similar outcomes for people so organize your life toward being mediocre try if you work really hard I think we can get you up to average all right so that's one group but you'll also be dragged by systemic racism and the the ghosts of the past but if you can work through all that the system will help you get up to average you can be medium too now the other group be they white or black or Asian Americans whatever you say them all right here's the deal we're going to teach you how to focus on the future build a talent stack and we're going to try to get you to excel you're the ones who are going to have the tools of success and you're going to use these tools to be better better than people who don't know how to do it you're going to go as high as you could possibly go not everyone will reach the top of course but you're going to outperform ordinary people who don't know how to do this kind of thing all right then check back in a few years um which group is doing better well what if you get what you try to get the people who wanted Equity achieved mediocrity just like they wanted the people who are learning to excel probably beat the average on average who was happier all right Equity is for losers every time you hear Equity you should say you know why are you shooting low why would you shoot for medium why would why wouldn't you shoot for a Black America Americans excelling beyond the average of other groups is that racist would it be racist to say look black Americans if you you learn these tools of success and the rest of the world doesn't or at least any more than they already are you can beat them right you're already beating them in sports fashion music you can beat them at everything if you use the right strategy it's just a strategy uh I think that would work but Equity is for losers that's like shooting for the middle all right um and hypothetically if I let this is sort of impossible in the real world but imagine if I specifically could train a generation of black Americans young black Americans the tools of success you know systems over goals and don't get hung up on passion and how to calculate the odds and how to persuade people you know just all the tools of success how to negotiate how to handle money you know basic stuff if I did that for let's say five years or let's say I educated a generation I just I did it every day how long would it take for black Americans to surpass the performance economically economically how long would it take for the black Americans I trained to surpass white Americans especially who did not have the same training right because poor white Americans also don't hear the tools for Success it's something that high income people are more likely to be around I think you'll take one generation yourself to wait a generation some people said five to ten years that might not be wrong that might not be wrong but you know the the big uh drag on black America's education so that's got to be job one um so Biden uh is such a lying guy that nobody can tell if he's got Dementia or he's just making up stuff so he actually says in public that quote Mega Republicans are calling for defunding the police bag of Republicans are calling for defunding the police the president of the United States Joe Biden said that in public and didn't seem to think he needed to correct it because it's literally the opposite of reality do you think that's a lie or that he actually can't he can't discern reality anymore because it doesn't look like a lie anyone would tell does it I mean yeah maybe it's just projection maybe they project so much it's just automatic even even ridiculous projection I actually don't know on this one I can't tell lying or dementia let's take a vote lying or dementia go is he lying he knows it or is it just dementia if it's both then he doesn't know it but I'm saying does the dementia cause it I'm not saying he has dementia but he knows enough to lie yeah both yeah he he could have both but the cause of this specific lie isn't both it's one or the other I think well maybe it could be both I don't know anyway that's our mystery of the day all right I found the best tweet ever about January 6.

this comes from John Thompson who tweets this January 6 2021 a day that will live in hyperbole I'm just gonna let that sit there for a minute a day that will live in hyperbole that's just like such a keeper isn't it they as soon as you hear that like okay I'm gonna use that that's a keeper it's a day that will live in hyperbole you don't you want Tucker Carlson to say that tell me don't you want Tucker to do a monologue and say we're talking about January 6 2021 a day that will live in hyperbole so yeah I don't I don't think John Thompson would mind if his joke got stolen I'm giving him I'm giving him credit here but people would recognize that if if somebody used this joke it's a good joke well constructed uh there were two stories in the news today about hot grandmothers are you noticing that there's a lot more stories about literally grandmothers who are unusually attractive one of them is uh um model Polina porzukova or whatever she's like 58 I think and she did a shoot where she looks like 19 you know from let's say the neck down she looks 19.

I I don't know what kind now now I'm talking about well I don't know if cosmetic surgery but her even her torso you know looks like it's 19 years old so I don't know how you do that probably some probably a little bit of work a little bit of work but now uh representative bobert is gonna have a kid she doesn't or a grandkid she does not look old enough to have a grandkid but I think she started early oh they're they're like the whole idea of a grandparent like it doesn't look the same anymore does it she's 36 so be soon yeah I knew a 36 year old grabbing them I've actually not a few of them I've known a few 36 year old grandmothers well here's the biggest news that you won't understand because nobody could gpt4 is about to come out in maybe a few weeks and reportedly it will have multimodal flavors I saw in one tweet in other words it will do video just think about that gpt4 will be the AI upgrade from gpt3 that is blowing everybody's mind my understanding is that version 4 won't be just a little bit better is that what you're hearing it's not like oh this is going to be 25 better or something like that I feel like it's it's like a 10x or 100x right it's like 10 or 100 times more powerful and the one we have is scary now now make it I don't know what the number is but make it way way more powerful and then give it video which it can manipulate to look like photorealistic things you can make a movie by talking into it I think I mean we'll wait but I believe that I could take my book God's debris and just read it or it already knows it because the book has been available for free on the internet for years so you might have seen it because it's just there on the internet so if it read everything in the internet maybe it read it so I could just say hey have you read God's debris and then gpt4 says yes I am familiar with it then I say can you make me a movie that will correspond to the scenes and then have the characters speak the dialogue Boop there it is I believe I can create a movie in 10 seconds I think that's going to be and if it's not this version and if it's not gpt4 it might be you know two separate uh you know pieces of AI that you have to use but if you put the two of them together I think you're going to make movies by just saying read this book and make a movie out of it I think that's real or read the script so and we have no idea what's coming I saw a demonstration today Chris France tweeted this about another AI called mid-journey and he showed four photographs and asked you if you could tell which of the four was the real one and which were generated by AI now it was a trick they were all generated by AI they looked perfect I think one of the characters at four figures but if you didn't look closely you wouldn't notice it it's sort of realistic now all right so the days of being able to know that what you're looking at is real are absolutely gone from this point on and really earlier if you believe that something's true because you saw a video or a photograph it actually means nothing now it means nothing because the The Fakes will look just like the real um speaking of that there's a video on the internet of a Russian helicopter photographing a UFO well that flew you know near and around it now would you be surprised to know that the photography is not really clear interesting huh because the apparently the Russian aircraft was at the same speed as the UFO it was like flying right next to it if you fly right next to something and you take out your smartphone and go click and you're traveling at the same speed so it's as if you're not moving at all wouldn't you get a pretty good picture no don't you think you could get at least one good clear picture and there is video video especially like at least some point event should be in Focus but now but no somehow it's not clear and here's the funniest thing it's shaped like a like a flying disc I'll pay a flying disc that's a little too on the nose flying disc from Russia sorry Russia nice try but we're not buying that UFO all right um here's more evidence that I might be sensationally right about something that you believe I'm sensationally wrong about and before we talk about Ukraine I'll give my uh disclaimer no I don't believe any reporting about Ukraine no I don't believe the narrative that Ukraine is about to win it looks like it sometimes sometimes it looks the other way but no you can't tell who's going to win you can't tell how it's going to go so the next thing I say is Under the Umbrella of we don't know what's going on over there it's just something fun to talk about I say it twice because sometimes you don't hear it the first time that's why um so here's a new reporting from CNN the Wagner group is complaining viciously that they can't even get a phone call through to the Kremlin because they keep asking for ammo because they're running out of ammo the most important fighting group the Wagner group and Russia is not even answering their calls anymore at the same time the Russian army says hey they're giving all of our ammo to the Wagner group now CNN's reporting had the actual soldiers from Russia saying they don't have ammo the Wagner group is getting it they have the head of the Wagner group his own quotes publicly saying that he can't get any ammo because it's going somewhere now with those two stories together would you conclude that Russia is running out of ammo yes or no given that we can't believe anything can't believe anything but when you conclude the running out of ammo yeah I would say it's too soon wouldn't you agree too soon I think it's too soon because first of all all the reporting is hard to believe but also there could be a strategic reason they could be stockpiling it for a big push that's possible and this isn't yet the big push they could be withholding it so the Wagner group doesn't go further right they might want their army to just be holding until they're ready for like a really big push but if you add it with yesterday's story that they were using their so-called best missiles and lots of them that kind of suggests the running out of regular stuff is sort of I mean it not necessarily but at this point all signs are pointing pointing toward running out of ammo now as I've told you before you don't have to get to zero Mo before everything falls apart am I right you don't get you don't have to run out before everything falls apart you just have to be not enough and then you're gonna you're gonna Retreat instead of fight because you don't have enough if you don't have enough ammo the smartest thing to do is Retreat right am I wrong about that you know if you don't have any other kind of Advantage you because you you want to wait until you have ammo so you preserve your forces wait to have ammo and then make another push so I believe you could have a complete systems failure with just an ammo shortage not running out and I don't know what that shortage is it could be not much it could imagine if ten percent of your forces didn't have ammo or or everybody had Mo but nobody had enough right to like get through a conflict you the degree that you would have to restrict the ammo probably is not as much as you think before the whole thing falls apart now remember my other uh conspiracy theory hypothesis you should put no weight behind this idea because it's purely speculative my belief is that the Wagner group head is getting too important and he has to be taken out by Putin and the best way to take him out is to let him die or let his forces get degraded before Putin negotiates for peace because the last thing he wants is this souped-up fully armed Wagner group to be sort of repatriated from the war into the country and now there's like a standing army that doesn't report to Putin you know not directly and they might be pissed at the Russian government for who knows what everything basically so I think I think Putin might need to have to take the Wagner group out before he can negotiate peace so I think he's grinding up the Wagner group so it looks like Russia has an offense but making sure they don't win too hard because that's not even going to help him you know winning a little extra isn't going to help him a lot because I think he wants to negotiate his way out so speculation speculation I I wouldn't put a bet on it but it looks to me like uh there's two things going on they're literally running out of ammo but on top of that not running out but they're running low and then on top of that I think Putin's trying to take the Wagner group out because he has to I'll just put that out there for fun see what happens um here's a here's a spotting of systems being better than goals out in the wild so um I saw a tweet from a Twitter user Brent aurel who said the most dangerous career move anyone can make is pursuing Education and Training strictly on the basis of an economic future that is unknowable and therefore almost completely imaginary what do you think given that the future is you know super unpredictable at the moment should you get educated because your education you don't know if it'll be useful well um a a writer who does some articles for the Washington examiner and books and stuff Tim Carney said this he said amateurs amateurs think Chess Masters are planning eight moves ahead Chess Masters know that's impossible they are thinking about two moves ahead and asking quote how can I put myself in the best position for whatever the heck might come my way now you recognize that as systems thinking right a system is you don't know where it's going to end up but you know if you put this this piece in this part of the board it will sort of control an area so so the chess player is playing a system you know obviously there's a goal of winning the game but that's trivial I mean it's obvious uh but the system is not to plan eight and Advance the the system is to control territory and you know that sort of thing um so what about that in your life so this is this is what I tell you is that you should develop a talent stack that can give you all kinds of options right you you want to develop the kinds of skills that would work in every environment for example good communication will work in every environment being good at dealing with people and negotiating probably working 90 percent of environments yeah so there are a whole bunch of things that work in any environment and so you want a system to be as flexible as possible not a system that prepares you for exactly one thing although if you're learning to be a doctor that probably makes sense here there's a Wall Street Journal had a really interesting article of something I never would have thought about that China is having a cousin and uncle shortage is that weird So In traditional Chinese culture you got big families and the family is your your support structure you know more so than even the government so if you get a this big extended family one of the advantages is you're more mobile because for example when I when I moved to California I probably would not have except my brother was already here so if you have a if you have a family member who's already in America for example it's a lot easier to move to America right just just having that family structure but because of the population uh bomb that's happening in China where there's just fewer and fewer babies families are also getting smaller not only do you have fewer babies or no babies but your cousin didn't have a baby either so now your family support structure is shrinking and that would have in theory an enormous impact on China's resilience and economy which is I've never thought of that the only reason I bring it up is that it's one of those things that could be a big thing that I've literally never thought about but it also could give salt easily by you know workarounds Etc so just keep an eye on that all right uh the Academy Awards has hired a crisis team to keep Chris Rock from getting slapped again I guess no not Chris Rock but just keep keep any trouble now here's where our system goes wrong every time all right so Chris Rock gets slapped one time in the history of anything there was a problem one time but you're the Academy Awards can you act as if you're not going to do anything about it now I guess they you know maybe kicked uh Will Smith out of their Academy or something or he quit I don't know so they could do something like little symbolic things but it feels like if you're in charge you've got to like show you're doing something like something physical or you're making a change so imagine some group comes in and pitches to the Academy Award people hey you had a problem uh this is bad PR because people think my God you haven't done anything about it you could hire my company and we'll put in this crisis management team and they'll be basically guarding people from getting on stage right just guarding people so what happens is how can the Academy Awards say no to somebody offering physical guards to solve the problem that maybe people think is a real problem but really just happened once so as soon as this this stuff starts getting monetized all right then this this company is the crisis group for just the Academy Awards do you think that group would say hey let's talk to the Golden Globes people they have the same problem of course they would right then pretty soon every event would have to hire a crisis Management Group the the way our free market works is amazing and stupid at the same time because people will sell whatever anybody can buy and sometimes what people want to buy is completely irrational so keep in mind when you're seeing you know things like ESG and CRT and Dei there's somebody like this hypothetical crisis Management Group who's selling a package of services and that's why it's a thing it's not a thing because a whole bunch of people thought it was a good idea even though they did even though they did it's a thing because somebody's selling it and as soon as somebody's selling it and then it becomes a fixture of our reality then everything's distorted and terrible so it's just an example of how once we monetize hate you get more hate there's no way around it so with social media monetizes hate because you get more clicks for hate now uh yeah so you're gonna get what you what you monetize I'm having a feeling that all of the human society needs to be re-engineered like almost start start from scratch now I would agree with you that you know the classic family structure would be the best but I don't see any way to force people into it or even incentivize them you know you could change the financial incentives but I feel like the the horse has left the barn meaning people just don't want to be married in large numbers they just don't want it and I kind of understand yeah I tried it a few times like I get it I get it but here's some indications that all of society is falling apart right teens who meet up with their friends I saw this Rex Woodbury tweeted it teens who meet up with their friends almost every day is down from 50 percent in the 90s to 25 percent today that's a crisis half of teens used to hang out with friends every day now it's only 25 percent human contact Keeps Us healthy this is a Health crisis and then you add that Mental Health crisis the fentanyl crisis your kids are have more than ever I think and of course this this effect happened at the same time that smartphones were introduced of course um and then the other things that smartphones have caused I want to see if this is a a gender um say is this a gender reality or a gender sexism sexism a reality here's your am I sexist or reality true or false if a husband texts his wife and she does not respond for a few hours he might not like it but it wouldn't be a problem am I right you wouldn't like it but it wouldn't be a problem if the woman texts if the if the wife texts the husband and he doesn't respond in 15 minutes is it a fight probably see even even the most basic interactions of male and female now some of you are disagreeing but it's sort of a thing I think we've all noticed even the basic interactions between men and women is being ruined by phones I I can't I can't walk into another room without my phone without worrying that somebody's going to call in in an emergency I don't know what kind of calls you get but if I get a call it's somebody who's standing in line somewhere and they need an immediate answer because they're actually in line and if they get to the front of the line and it's only two people they can't do the thing that they wanted to do and you'll be sorry like all all of my calls are an emergency I've got somebody standing here right now uh and I can't do the thing or your your roof is leaking I mean it's all it's all emergencies so I never can get a minute away from my phone but I don't think it works the other way all right uh I'm going to give you a different filter on the world economic forum that I call the Dilbert filter there's a filter which is the the world economic Forum wants to you know change the great reset and change everything and let's say that that's a valid Theory let's say that's a theory I'm going to offer you a second explanation and I want you to compare it to your current thinking about the Wes master plan to change the economy and take away all your stuff so this comes from Naomi Klein and it was in The Intercept in 2020 I hadn't seen it until now but she says I'll just read one of her sentences great reset is not a serious effort to actually solve the crises it describes on the contrary is it an attempt to create a plausible impression that the huge winners in this system in other words rich people are on the verge of voluntarily setting greed aside to get serious about solving the Raging crises that are radically destabilizing our world I'm sorry I don't care what any of you believe about the world economic Forum once you see this Frame it's so obvious that's what's happening no of course they don't mean any of this stuff of course they don't beat it the whole thing is to make you think they mean it they don't do anything all they do is bring all the rich people together and say you know these rich people don't even want to make money they don't even care about money let me tell you the rich people in this room these are the ones who want to solve climate change for you no matter how much it costs them even if they have to give up their Maseratis they're going to work for your benefit by joining a meeting and talking and you might say but what have they changed to which I say well they certainly have proposed things I know but like what's actually happened well have you seen the ten point plan I know but it was actually different because of the world economic fit well have you noticed that the things are recommending are part of the trend yeah but that doesn't mean they did anything uh this is my current belief about the world economic Forum it's a Dilbert situation where rich people are just covering their asses and creating this basically the effectively it's a human Power.

Point presentation that says they're doing the right things but they're not doing the right things they're not doing the right things the other possibility is that they mean all this crazy that you think they really mean I'm sorry if you believe that they believe a plan to do any of that crazy that you've heard about it's all signaling that's my current belief now that doesn't mean that's what they're thinking just to be clear that doesn't mean that you know when JB Diamond goes there or whoever it doesn't mean he's thinking all right I gotta go do the theater none of this is going to happen I don't want it to happen I'm just going to go do the theater I doubt it's that simple it's just everybody knowing what's in their interest this is the George Carlin explanation you don't need a conspiracy when everyone knows what they need to do they all they all know what they need to do they the world economic Forum doesn't invite stupid people unless they're celebrities am I right so it's basically brilliant business people and leaders and idiots celebrities so that you'll think oh they really they agree with those celebrities it looks like it's a whole bunch of people that even celebrities are on board with us I think all the rich people are like oh cool we get to go someplace and meet some celebrities and and get out of town and go skiing and and when we get back we can say we're working on the big problems of reality when nothing like that is happening it's kind of brilliant all right um I I I watched in horror as representative Sylvia Garcia Democrat from Texas um try to embarrass Matt taibi and then Michael schellenberger at this Congressional hearing and I'm not even going to give you the details of the ridiculous questions she asked I'm just going to tell you that I've never seen two people react in the more perfectly to that level of the normal way to react when somebody said to you you're in public and you're being grilled is you either get the the button-down approach like yes representative I understand what you're saying but uh you know my my reasoning is this all right and that's never really good because it's just somebody acting reasonable and then somebody's slapping them over and over again the other way is to react angrily no no you're lying we did not say that or that did not happen or you're exaggerating right and those that can make you look bad too I mean you could win that way but it gives you die but what what taibi and uh and shellenberger did was the just the best they just couldn't keep the smiles off their face which was clearly signaling oh my God you see this too right right the look on their face was to the audience you see this too don't you oh it was perfect it was just perfect now I don't think they planned that I think it was just spontaneous I think they were actually amused like they didn't look like they were acting I think they were about to break out laughing because the the Democrat was looking so stupid at that moment so that was kind of perfect all right um I I loved watching Anderson Cooper interview uh Adam Schiff so he had the three faces on screen and the three boxes so Adam Schiff was on the left and Anderson Cooper in the middle interviewing and Adam kinsinger was there and uh Adam Schiff was trying to see I can't even I can't even talk about Adam Schiff without laughing because it's now it's just so not serious anymore like Adam Schiff is just like the worst and Watergate guy you know once you've ascended to Pure comedy so he gets on there and he says that uh Tucker Carlson is trying to Gaslight the country by showing actual footage of what happened and now I get it that that video footage could be misleading as was the the January 6 video footage but it's a little disingenuous to be complaining that the very thing you just did is being done by the other side like we don't notice like nobody noticed that the entire context is that Tucker Carlson only has that video because you did this thing in front of the world in the biggest possible way which is distorting the the story by selective edits and and the the balls of this guy to accuse the other side of what he's literally the most famous practitioner of is it's just like a comedy act now some of you say he's he's projecting you know the the Tucker Carlson thing they always they always blame you of the thing they're doing but it's a perfect example now what I loved about the story is not what uh Schiff said is Anderson Cooper's face as he as he listens uh to to shift essentially defending CNN at the same time not intentionally but keep in mind that CNN had reported the January 6 event like it was real think about that CNN cover at the January 6th gen you know the the committee like it was all real and now it's very clear that the thing was closer to a hoax you know which I've said from the beginning so CNN really can't hide from the fact that they covered the story as real and it's now pretty obvious some portion of it was just pure hoax would you agree with that do you agree with that statement that is now obvious that the January 6th committee was just an operation and they they reported it as real the entire time now isn't that embarrassing to hear them all right is that the yeah I would think that's embarrassing so Anderson Cooper's in the middle and uh what I tweeted was I can't read minds by Anderson Cooper's face suggests he's not pleased with the Liars that turn CNN into the dumbest fly on turd Mountain and the only reason I'm telling you this story is that I'm so proud of that phrase the dumbest fly on turd Mountain I welcome you to borrow it and I'm going to give you full copyright to that phrase and here's the best part don't give me credit if you use it right like if you're talking to your relatives or something you know they don't follow just just act like you made that one up you you have my approval to attribute it to your own good thinking right it's yours I release it to you just say there that but but you have to sell it you gotta you gotta sell like you just came up with I said I tell you and Adam Chef he's making CNN look like that dumbest fly on turd Mountain and try to sell it like it's always been a saying yeah try to make it look like oh you haven't heard that one oh yeah it's yeah you don't want to be the dumbest fly on turd Mountain my grandfather used to say that not really but you can tell people yeah you don't want to die in turret Hill well there's an upgrade you know how people always say don't die on that Hill I think it's more effective you say well if I were you I wouldn't die on turd Hill then I saw uh Adam Schiff uh appearing on MSC and the msnb show with Lawrence Lawrence whatever his name is he's got his own show I remember he doesn't like hammering Lauren somebody um and then and the chef was saying that uh Fox News is only acting because they care about the money and the ratings so he was on MSNBC whose ratings are in the toilet reminding them that they shouldn't care so much about ratings has any Democrat ever given good advice do not get your economic advice from a Democrat So Adam Schiff telling you know a struggling network with falling ratings that they shouldn't worry so much about the ratings and the money oh no you know you know what you know what MSNBC should be struggling for equity Equity yeah yeah I think CNN and MSNBC they should be trying to achieve equity in the news business well Fox News is trying to be the best in the business and we'll lap them and Destroy them but hey equity um and uh the only reason I bring that up is to make fun of the fact that I don't know who Lawrence Lawrence O'Donnell okay I didn't know his name that was really my main point uh oh yeah and Chef is trying to get advertisers to stop advertising on Fox News the only people who advertise on Fox News are pharmaceutical companies and that got canceled and and some charity stuff yeah usually something about veterans like could Fox News have any fewer advertisement options than they have yeah they've got canceled my pillow guy bunch of pharmaceuticals that maybe they shouldn't have although I haven't seen as many lately I haven't seen as many pharmaceutical ads and maybe maybe there's a reason for that uh yeah Saint Jude's so so it's either charity or somebody canceled it's not like Fox News has a lot of options all right uh uh this might feel like a repeat but uh it looks like Trump's about to be indicted ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha should I even read this story all right this is the best one yet so this is in the uh the genre of the walls are closing in we got it this time we got him this time yeah finally and let me describe how the news tries to deal with this as a real story right they wouldn't they want to sell this as something that's real uh so all right so what's happening is that New York I guess Manhattan prosecutor Attorney Alvin Bragg um he's notifying attorneys I heard this in the New York Post that uh the that the commander the ex-commander-in-chief Trump is going to be asked to defend himself in front of a grand jury hearing now people in the know say that if you're asked to defend yourself in front of a grand jury it's indication that it's sort of the last step before they indict so there's the signal is very clear that the intention is to indict so how strong is this claim let's see it involves Stormy Daniels payments they think Trump will decline the offer um and it it's unclear What charges brag intends to bring against Trump but the report notices from the New York Post the report notes that prosecutors could accuse the former president of falsifying business records that'll put him away forever won't it falsifying some not some business records not tax records but just some business records falsifying some business records and then they could here's the good part they could Elevate that charge to a felony because otherwise you know it's not going to keep them out of office or anything but they get elevated to a felony by arguing that it was attached to a second crime what so apparently if you do something that's not too important but they can attach it to another thing that's not important the two of the things that are not that important can be conflated into a felony charge they are literally coming up with imaginary crimes that is an imaginary crime if you have to take two non-crimes and add them together and argue there's a connection and then when you connect them the two are greater than the sum of the parts now I get that you know that could look like a RICO thing like a RICO thing is a whole bunch of things that suggest it's all connected and stuff so I don't know to me uh well I'm just going to go with the mainstream the walls are closing in they got them this time once they conflate those two small things into a big felony the jury is likely to go for that it does not seem even slightly dangerous and imagine that Trump imagine this is the last thing he has left it could be like the last legal thing and it would mean that all of them were nothing they were they're either trivial or just absolutely made up or nothing so New York Post also reports that private lead to Santa says he's in the race do you believe that do you believe that that desensis is definitely already decided he's already created a structure and he's just waiting to May to announce it's believable it's believable but I feel like there was something else I would need to know and I think what I would need to know is what is his thinking about Trump could it be that he's preparing without spending too much money or time could he be preparing in case Trump doesn't run let's say you get some legal problems or something else maybe Trump has a health problem you know anything could happen between now and may is it possible he's just getting ready in case and that his intention to run is conditional on what Trump does because I could see that usually being confused as an intention to run when it might be a conditional intention to run as in if this happens and if this happens I'll run you know it's always conditional I guess in reality everything's conditional you can change your mind at any time but does that sound right does it sound like it might be conditional and maybe he sees how he pulls or something before he makes a decision yeah all right well I would uh do you think the world is better if De.

Santis gets in and pushes Trump because I love the fact that uh Vivek Rama Swami's in the in the the race because he's definitely made the the primary better he's already made Republicans better Republicans I think yeah uh well we'll see it'll be interesting I guess I'd like to see him get in just because I like competition uh Tim Poole had cash Patel on his show and uh he gives two reasons to suspect that rayaps is a was a Fed working on January 6 for the feds here is two reasons one of them is one I gave you uh first he says that raps was on FBI's most wanted list for one day and the next day he was off there are only two ways that happens you die or you become an informant now remember cash Patel was a prosecutor so he's worked sources so when he says there's only one you know there's only one way or two ways you can get off the FBI's most wanted list he's not guessing he's not guessing there's only two ways I mean maybe there's some weird Third Way um and then the other the other point is the one I gave when the representative from the FBI I forget which one was asked by Ted Cruz under oath were there any FBI agents involved in January 6th she refused to answer and as cash points out and I pointed out when it happens if the answer was no you would not say we don't talk about that stuff am I right if the answer is just no you say no because you wouldn't be giving up any secrets and you would resolve the matter or you'd be closer to resolving it right there I don't I don't see any way that Ray Epps wasn't up to something you know with the government I don't know what it doesn't necessarily mean that he was he was hired to cause the riot it could be that you just wanted to do it anyway but it could be that they were going to ask him for information about it or it would help him get into the maybe he would help him infiltrate you know more Mega organizations or something so it's possible that he was working for the feds but not in some um assertive way that caused the the violence to happen maybe he was just there to watch and observe and they're trying to work with him to make him more of a source in the future maybe I know so so there is there is some room for Ray Epps could be working for the feds I don't want him to sue me so I'll just say allegedly um and it's still not being what you think is that a possibility is it a possibility that he's totally he was totally working for the government but that it wasn't a big deal it was just one of one of the many people there trying to turn into informants um anything is possible that's right so De.

Santis is picking up free money again as I often say he will do the thing that when he does it you wonder why everybody else didn't do it first have you noticed that quality about De.

Santis he's really good at it like consistently here's the next the next one this is just free money best tennis player in the world I think still Novak Djokovic is not allowed in the country for the Miami open which is a huge event in the country uh much less or even much more for Florida because he's not vaccinated it's 20 23.

the healthiest the healthiest man in the world can't come into the country because he's not vaccinated he might be the healthiest person in the world if you've ever seen them train and play I mean he's in really good shape so uh De.

Santis somehow cleverly realizing that this ban was about airline travel he asked the Biden Administration to confirm that he the Djokovic would be let into Florida if he came by boat because apparently you can come by boat but not Airline what what are you kidding me that's a real thing that's a real thing and the government hasn't moved to fix it so the government should either make the boats require the vaccination or make the airlines not but it's just absurd to have the difference so apparently uh De.

Santis wants to make a boat available now what do you do about that except standing ovation am I wrong I mean let's just standing ovation stuff yeah that's that's there is just no other reaction to that you just can't react any other way standing ovation that's it and he just keeps doing that all right uh war on the cartels so more I guess uh Lindsey Graham and uh who else Senator John Kennedy are putting through some legislation to make the cartels uh terrorist organizations which would unleash the military upon them I believe Ted Cruz is more in favor of financial actions uh what do you think would be the best play Financial only plus whatever else we're doing Financial only or direct military action both yeah I'm going to say both because that's what it took to be Isis am I right Isis was a military PLUS Financial and and Trump did seem to succeed in defeating Isis it does look like it looks like it to me so um I don't know what will happen but I love the fact that the cartel that kidnapped and then killed two Americans I love the fact that they apologized that really happened right so if you have a cartel apologizing to the United States that only means one thing they do not do not want the military to get involved do not very much do not now what does that tell you I'll tell you what it tells me president Trump would solve this in an afternoon do you know why because once you know they're afraid of the military you negotiate with them directly imagine Trump talking to the heads of the cartels because I think he could get a call I think Trump could actually get the hands of the cartel on the phone don't you I mean if they thought they could do it without getting caught I I think so and I think he could say directly we're gonna we're gonna up your and it's going to happen fast if you want to get out of the the death ray that's coming your way and you can't get out of it the only thing you can do is negotiate and that negotiation means you stop sending stuff to us maybe we help you uh turn your operation into something positive for example would it be crazy to say that they had whoever the leaders of the cartels are look we're very impressed with your organizational skills we're also going to kill you in a week but if you'd like Mexico needs a lot of industry and if you'd like to do what American robber barons did in this country which is you start by doing some really sketchy illegal become a robber baron and then you try to move your operation into legal businesses like Crocker you know you you was one of the guys with the the Transcontinental Railroad those guys were all just bastards and you know they're just the worst people in the world by today's standards of course even then by their standards they were just horrible people terrible Crooks and when they got rich the thing they needed more than anything is to is to make their uh let's say their kids and their kids kids not live under the oak the Yoke of some criminal organization so I believe that Trump could actually repatriate not repatriate I keep using that word I think he could actually talk some of the cartels into taking a better offer because the other offer is dead and there's there's no negotiating on that you either take the offer or you're dead in a week I think that's I think Trump could get that done now you might not be the only one who can get it done but I think you'd be the best I think you'd be the best you know I think the others maybe you could do it too you know the story about fauci you probably noticed I've talked less about fauci than anybody who does what I do you know talking about the news you probably wondered about that why don't you talk about fauci more we hate fauci help us hate fauci some more well one of the reasons I don't is that I'm very reluctant to go after uh individuals right I'd rather talk about you know unless they're president that's different but I don't like to go after individuals unless I have really solid something solid it just feels like a dick move to go after an individual because the news is always so wrong that whatever you're accusing somebody of is like what are the odds that's even true look at the number of people who came after me in the past couple weeks how many of them actually knew the story the the ones who came after me heart almost none almost none so why do I think this is the Gelman effect why do I think that the reporting on fauci is accurate I've seen what the reporting on me is I know what that looks like don't I but why do you think fauces is accurate that would be the most ridiculous assumption that the reporting on fauci is accurate that would be ridiculous because it's never accurate when you're talking about public figures it just never is it just isn't you know there's nothing you could do about that so that's why I hold off with people like fauci I heard you know horrible damning things which didn't seem totally credible to me but our current understanding and I'll say this is all allegations and what other people believe is that fauci indirectly funded gain of function in Wuhan then when it got out he redirected attention away from the lab and then he became the uh the leading figure in fixing the pandemic that if this reporting is true he caused not not by himself of course but he would be a primary cause did this really happen this whole story is too on the nose right it looks like it happened it looks like that narrative might survive a challenge it might but that is just too like a book and one of the what are the odds that the one guy who funded it is the highest paid person in the government who became a superstar for trying to defeat the virus that he created allegedly yeah with indirect funding to the lab that does does just on the surface doesn't that strike you as just too it's a little too neat you're saying it happened and I'm not even disagreeing because I don't know right but that would be the weirdest simulation story of all time if he caused it and then he was in charge of fixing it and then we didn't find out and how much money do you think fauci's made we have no indications but we also don't know what a stocky holds right do we know what stocky holds I don't believe he is he has to report that if I had to guess and this would be just a guess uh probably 80 million dollars he made during the pandemic if I had to guess just based on he probably you know over the years he's probably collecting a lot of stock in companies that would make money in a pandemic patents maybe yeah I don't know did he have an interest in uh REM desevere did somebody say it is some kind of interest in the company that does REM disappear I don't know about that so I'll say that I'm not going to make any accusations about financial gain because I don't have details but if I had to guess and this isn't even about fauci if you just take fauci out of it and say somebody is a million years old and they've been the central person working for big Pharma in the virus area for all those years does he own a substantial stock remember he was the highest paid government employee so he had presumably investable funds but he also probably had some connections where he would get some stock from I don't know startups and stuff he probably had let's say 10 million dollars of Pharma stock before it all started I don't know if that's true I'm just speculating if he had 10 million it probably went to 80 million because everything went through the roof so he might have made I don't know 20 80 million dollars during the pandemic that wouldn't surprise me would you be surprised if he had a 10 million dollar portfolio and a lot of it was in Pharma maybe because he does speeches or worked with people who've got stock you don't know he's been around for a long time well I'm going to say I'm not totally believing all the stories about fauci but uh if it is what it looks exactly like it is that's pretty alarming that's pretty alarming it might be it might be exactly what it looks like all right this ladies and gentlemen was uh almost the end of my live stream let me tell you just before I got out I jumped on a spaces call and there were a number of black Americans talking and when they saw me on there they invited me up and asked me to explain my comments and how do you think it went when they asked me to explain my comments were they receptive it went very well all right I'm actually considering uh re-identifying as black because black Americans have come out of you know my little drama for the last couple weeks black Americans have come out of this really well like in my opinion their their reaction to it sometimes horrified but they would be horrified and then ask questions like what did he mean why did he do it that's perfect that's perfect because I was being hyperbolic to get people horrified they were but instead of canceling me they in fact the first thing the first thing the host said was that it was the white people that canceled me and did I agree with that yes yes absolutely black people haven't canceled me from anything not a single thing they mostly say that's very alarming what are you talking about exactly what I wanted white people just had to signal so they were they were kind of useless to this but then I had just enough time to tell them the entire purpose was to attract energy to a point which is if you have people who are looking backwards with their strategy such as CRT that's a backwards look and you compared them to people who have a forward-looking strategy for life get a talent stack together systems over goals all that stuff that you just can't compare how successful one group would be to the other so that was the message I wanted to get through the systemic racism is real but you can slice through it if you focus on the tools for personal success which would include strategy for getting through systemic racism and I think I penetrated a bubble because these are things that I've wanted to say for a while but I was just preaching to people who largely already agree with those things but I but this was the first time I got invited into what I would consider definitely not my bubble now I think I think a number of them may be leaned right but it was definitely a sort of a black Centric group and I don't normally get invited to that so my original intention was to put a message that I think is really useful focus on personal success and try to penetrate as many bubbles as I can now this is a very small small success but I definitely got a useful High Ground totally practical set of ideas into a bubble where it wouldn't have been I think that's good I mean it's a small move but so far my plan is working weirdly well better than I expected and beyond that I seem to be invited everywhere I'm invited everywhere remember Fox News seemed to be ignoring my story for a while I have been invited by you know Hannity Hannity invited me but I didn't want to do that yet because I would look too much like people who agree with me because I think I think he would do what everybody would do condemn me for what I said and I even condemned myself for it I said it to get a reaction so you can't criticize me for doing the thing that I wanted to do that worked really well I'm not going to apologize for doing a thing I wanted to do that works really well for the people who got offended no I'm not going to apologize for that so uh but Larry Elder also invited me on a show and what do you think of that should I do Larry Elder so it's the same problem he's going to agree with me yeah I saw an article he wrote In Real Clear Politics so I know he's going to be philosophically on the same side and he would be he would identify as a conservative but I feel like I'm not getting the invitations I want from the left do you know why the left is not invited me do you know why the left is not inviting me you know yeah they're afraid it's literally fear yeah you saw what happened when uh Russell Brand went on Ms.

MSNBC oh he was on the Bill Maher show with the MSNBC guy all right like you don't want somebody to bring a wildly different idea into your bubble if it could destroy your bubble yeah I'm kind of a bubble breaker in the worst case scenario I'm just dangerous at this point I'm literally dangerous wouldn't you agree I've made myself literally dangerous to the to the prevailing narrative because I'm now impossible to to Res to ignore I'm impossible to ignore and I have a message that's a high ground message meaning as soon as you hear it you say Okay that was better than what we were doing nobody is going to argue that focusing on personal success for young black people is a good strategy nobody they will only say but also other things need to be done and then I'll say how's that working out how are those other things working out a lot less systemic racism this year than last none of it's working I can agree with all that stuff being important but nobody's doing anything about it so instead you need to you need to fortify the individual so the individual is you know invulnerable to the worst parts of systemic racism you just slice right through him like how do you slice through them like a you'll slice through systemic racism if you have the right tools like a hot rod through butter that's correct like a hot rod through butter all right so my plan is working out swimmingly well um let me ask the people who are less familiar with me because there are always a few over on You.

Tube especially so You.

Tubers have you ever seen me influence beyond the the race question have you ever seen any influence a national event in a positive way so just look at the comments if I ever influence a national event in a positive way right so those of you who are not familiar with what I've been doing for the last five years uh look at the answers now you can ignore the nose because that just means they're not familiar the yeses are telling you everything you need to know you wouldn't have that many yeses unless people noticed there's a real thing that's happening that I'm part of the locals group is part of it and now you're part of it which is anybody who boosts my signal is doing something good now not the hyperbolic symbol don't boost my uh hyperbole but boost my reframe and the reframe is work on your individual success skills and you will do fine and there you go thanks for listening You.

Tube I'll be with you again tomorrow I appreciate you being here

Papa

good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of civilization the

best live stream you're about to ever

see

yeah this will be the one you're talking

about for I don't know minutes and if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that can only be understood by

meth addicts

that all you need is a cup of mug or a

glass of tank or Chelsea Steiner canteen

Joker flask a vessel of any kind fill it

with your favorite liquid

I like coffee

and join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure of the dopamine into the day

it's the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous hip

yeah that's pretty good I could feel the

simultaneity

it was especially

crisp today well I got so many stories I

don't know where to begin I'll just go

all of them

um I have been doing affirmations to try

to solve the the drought in California

and I see this map I don't know if you

can see it but there's all these green

flashing things like a real bunch of

energy that's coming in

and I don't know if you can tell but

that's heading exactly to my house

see my house is right there

and this green energy is heading right

toward it

now

this would only be the second time this

week that I've attracted more energy

than I expected to me

that's probably a coincidence

anyway it's called an atmospheric River

and it's coming hard it looks like the

drought in California is going to get a

little relief

until the forest fires

all right uh last night on guffeld how

many of you saw Russell Brand

on Gutfeld that was a lot of fun

probably my favorite show so far my

favorite got the old episode so far

um I love the fact

I love the fact that guffel is a number

one show so he can get he can get the

best guess now he had you know Vivek

ramaswami on the other day and Russell

Brandon and that's so much fun watching

watching all these people come into a

let's say a

an unstructured

sort of chaotic funny environment like

everybody everybody has to be in a

different character then it's really fun

to watch

one of the things Russell Brand has said

he I don't think he said it on on

Garfield last night but he said it

somewhere else he said the thing they

fear most is people with different

political perspectives coming together

I guess today would be the uni party you

know the people in power

that does feel right doesn't it

does feel right because if

people who were on opposite sides of

things came together

you get a lot done there's some system I

forget what country it was where most of

the government decisions are by

referendum

even the the big Federal ones

does anybody remember what system that

is

is it a Swiss the Swiss there might be

other systems like that as well but

doesn't that make more sense to you

because we have this weird situation in

America where there are issues that are

overwhelmingly popular let's say 60 to

40 that's pretty overwhelming

and if sixty percent of the public wants

something

and they understand it well enough to

know what they're asking for it doesn't

make any sense that that has to go

through Congress we should just vote on

it like okay sixty percent of you want

that let's do it now I can imagine that

maybe you don't go with the referendum

if it's close

because then maybe you want your experts

in Congress to you know tell you what

you missed or something but if it's 60

40

and we understand the issue

I think we ought to just do an end run

around Congress I don't know any way to

fix this system that's Constitutional

Amendment probably so impractical

all right here's your media lesson in

how to interpret uh or actually spot

fake news all right so you may have seen

the clip of Representative Goldman

who is talking to Matt taibi and Michael

schellenberger I think at a

congressional event and he said quote

even with Twitter you cannot find

evidence of any direct government

censorship of any lawful speech and why

I say lawful I mean non-criminal speech

did you catch the weasel word

I read it again remember there's only

one word in the whole sentence that's

the weasel word that changes its meaning

okay you found it direct the word is

direct right I'll read it again even

with Twitter you cannot find evidence of

any direct government censorship

if I hadn't called out the word Direct

and you're just sort of casually

listening wouldn't you assume that the

government never tried to to get

anything censored at Twitter

because they never directly did it

all they did was continuously ask

Twitter to do it

but once you've asked Twitter to do it

it's not Direct

it's not Direct

because Twitter's doing it

so

so like what are you even talking about

all we did is

put some kind of soft continuous

persuasive pressure on them by sending

the FBI in to talk to them and you know

when people when the FBI comes in people

just say I'm not going to do what you're

what you say just because you're the FBI

that's the way normal people work isn't

it in a corporation so of course there

was no coercion or or influence because

they didn't ask directly

that's the best we have in Congress

right he's one of the best that's why

that's why this guy got to talk

he got to talk because he's one of the

good ones like hey hey let's let's send

representative Goldman to talk he's got

some weasel words that you've never even

heard

all right

um

Equity is for losers

literally

you know uh Black America it seems and a

lot of their allies are pushing for this

thing called equity

Equity of outcomes

and I say to myself hypothetically if

you divided a bunch of young people of

any any colors or ethnicities you just

randomly divide them into two groups you

say all right group one

we're going to have you focus on equity

we want something like you know similar

outcomes for people so organize your

life

toward being mediocre

try if you work really hard I think we

can get you up to average

all right so that's one group but you'll

also be dragged by systemic racism and

the the ghosts of the past

but if you can work through all that

the system will help you get up to

average you can be medium too

now the other group be they white or

black or Asian Americans whatever

you say them all right here's the deal

we're going to teach you how to focus on

the future

build a talent stack and we're going to

try to get you to excel

you're the ones who are going to have

the tools of success and you're going to

use these tools to be better better than

people who don't know how to do it

you're going to go as high as you could

possibly go not everyone will reach the

top of course but you're going to

outperform ordinary people who don't

know how to do this kind of thing

all right then check back in a few years

um which group is doing better

well what if you get what you try to get

the people who wanted Equity achieved

mediocrity just like they wanted

the people who are learning to excel

probably beat the average on average

who was happier

all right Equity is for losers every

time you hear Equity you should say you

know why are you shooting low why would

you shoot for medium

why would why wouldn't you shoot for a

Black America Americans excelling beyond

the average of other groups is that

racist

would it be racist to say look black

Americans

if you you learn these tools of success

and the rest of the world doesn't or at

least any more than they already are

you can beat them

right you're already beating them in

sports

fashion music

you can beat them at everything if you

use the right strategy it's just a

strategy

uh I think that would work but Equity is

for losers that's like shooting for the

middle

all right um

and hypothetically if I let this is sort

of impossible in the real world but

imagine if I specifically

could train a generation of black

Americans young black Americans

the tools of success you know systems

over goals and don't get hung up on

passion and how to calculate the odds

and how to persuade people you know just

all the tools of success how to

negotiate how to handle money you know

basic stuff

if I did that for let's say five years

or let's say I educated a generation I

just I did it every day

how long would it take for black

Americans to

surpass the performance economically

economically how long would it take for

the black Americans I trained

to surpass white Americans especially

who did not have the same training

right because poor white Americans also

don't hear the tools for Success it's

something that high income people are

more likely to be around

I think you'll take one generation

yourself to wait a generation some

people said five to ten years that might

not be wrong that might not be wrong

but you know the the big uh drag on

black America's education so that's got

to be job one

um

so Biden uh is such a lying guy that

nobody can tell if he's got Dementia or

he's just making up stuff

so he actually says in public that quote

Mega Republicans are calling for

defunding the police

bag of Republicans are calling for

defunding the police

the president of the United States Joe

Biden said that in public

and didn't seem to think he needed to

correct it

because it's literally the opposite of

reality

do you think that's a lie or that he

actually can't he can't discern reality

anymore

because it doesn't look like a lie

anyone would tell

does it

I mean yeah maybe it's just projection

maybe they project so much it's just

automatic even even ridiculous

projection I actually don't know on this

one I can't tell lying or dementia let's

take a vote lying or dementia go

is he lying he knows it or is it just

dementia

if it's both then he doesn't know it

but I'm saying does the dementia cause

it I'm not saying he has dementia but he

knows enough to lie

yeah both

yeah he he could have both but the cause

of this specific lie isn't both it's one

or the other

I think well maybe it could be both I

don't know anyway that's our mystery of

the day all right I found the best tweet

ever about January 6.

this comes from John Thompson who tweets

this January 6 2021 a day that will live

in hyperbole

I'm just gonna let that sit there for a

minute

a day that will live in hyperbole

that's just like such a keeper isn't it

they as soon as you hear that like okay

I'm gonna use that that's a keeper

it's a day that will live in hyperbole

you don't you want Tucker Carlson to say

that

tell me don't you want Tucker to do a

monologue and say we're talking about

January 6 2021 a day that will live in

hyperbole so

yeah I don't I don't think John Thompson

would mind if his joke got stolen

I'm giving him I'm giving him credit

here but people would recognize that if

if somebody used this joke

it's a good joke well constructed

uh there were two stories in the news

today about hot grandmothers are you

noticing that there's a lot more stories

about literally grandmothers who are

unusually attractive

one of them is uh

um model Polina porzukova or whatever

she's like 58 I think and she did a

shoot where she looks like 19 you know

from let's say the neck down she looks

19. I I don't know what kind now now I'm

talking about well I don't know if

cosmetic surgery but her even her torso

you know looks like it's 19 years old so

I don't know how you do that probably

some probably a little bit of work a

little bit of work but now uh

representative bobert

is gonna have a kid

she doesn't or a grandkid she does not

look old enough to have a grandkid but I

think she started early

oh they're they're like the whole idea

of a grandparent like it doesn't look

the same anymore does it she's 36 so be

soon yeah I knew a 36 year old grabbing

them

I've actually not a few of them I've

known a few 36 year old grandmothers

well here's the biggest news that you

won't understand because nobody could

gpt4 is about to come out

in maybe a few weeks and reportedly it

will have multimodal flavors I saw in

one tweet in other words it will do

video

just think about that gpt4 will be the

AI upgrade from gpt3 that is blowing

everybody's mind

my understanding is that version 4 won't

be just a little bit better

is that what you're hearing it's not

like oh this is going to be 25 better or

something like that I feel like it's

it's like a 10x or 100x right

it's like 10 or 100 times more powerful

and the one we have is scary

now now make it I don't know what the

number is but make it way way more

powerful

and then give it video

which it can manipulate to look like

photorealistic things

you can make a movie by talking into it

I think

I mean we'll wait but I believe that I

could take my book God's debris

and just read it

or it already knows it because the book

has been available for free on the

internet for years so you might have

seen it because it's just there on the

internet so if it read everything in the

internet maybe it read it so I could

just say hey have you read God's debris

and then gpt4 says yes I am familiar

with it then I say can you make me a

movie that will correspond to the scenes

and then have the characters speak the

dialogue

Boop there it is

I believe I can create a movie in 10

seconds

I think that's going to be and if it's

not this version and if it's not gpt4 it

might be you know two separate uh

you know pieces of AI that you have to

use but if you put the two of them

together

I think you're going to make movies by

just saying read this book and make a

movie out of it I think that's real or

read the script

so and we have no idea what's coming I

saw a demonstration today

Chris France tweeted this about another

AI called mid-journey

and he showed four photographs and asked

you if you could tell which of the four

was the real one and which were

generated by AI now it was a trick they

were all generated by AI they looked

perfect

I think one of the characters at four

figures but if you didn't look closely

you wouldn't notice it it's sort of

realistic now

all right so the days of being able to

know that what you're looking at is real

are absolutely gone

from this point on and really earlier

if you believe that something's true

because you saw a video or a photograph

it actually means nothing now it means

nothing

because the The Fakes will look just

like the real

um speaking of that there's a video on

the internet of a Russian helicopter

photographing a UFO well that flew you

know near and around it

now would you be surprised to know that

the photography is not really clear

interesting huh because the apparently

the Russian aircraft was at the same

speed as the UFO it was like flying

right next to it if you fly right next

to something and you take out your

smartphone and go click

and you're traveling at the same speed

so it's as if you're not moving at all

wouldn't you get a pretty good picture

no don't you think you could get at

least one good clear picture and there

is video

video especially like at least some

point event should be in Focus but now

but no somehow it's not clear

and here's the funniest thing

it's shaped like a like a flying disc

I'll pay a flying disc that's a little

too on the nose

flying disc from Russia sorry Russia

nice try

but we're not buying that UFO

all right

um here's more evidence that I might be

sensationally right about something that

you believe I'm sensationally wrong

about

and before we talk about Ukraine I'll

give my

uh disclaimer no I don't believe any

reporting about Ukraine no I don't

believe the narrative that Ukraine is

about to win it looks like it sometimes

sometimes it looks the other way but no

you can't tell who's going to win you

can't tell how it's going to go so the

next thing I say is Under the Umbrella

of we don't know what's going on over

there it's just something fun to talk

about

I say it twice

because sometimes you don't hear it the

first time that's why

um so here's a new reporting from CNN

the Wagner group is complaining

viciously that they can't even get a

phone call through to the Kremlin

because they keep asking for ammo

because they're running out of ammo the

most important fighting group the Wagner

group and Russia is not even answering

their calls anymore at the same time the

Russian army says hey they're giving all

of our ammo to the Wagner group now

CNN's reporting had the actual soldiers

from Russia saying they don't have ammo

the Wagner group is getting it they have

the head of the Wagner group his own

quotes publicly saying that he can't get

any ammo because it's going somewhere

now with those two stories together

would you conclude that Russia is

running out of ammo yes or no

given that we can't believe anything

can't believe anything but when you

conclude the running out of ammo

yeah I would say

it's too soon wouldn't you agree too

soon

I think it's too soon because first of

all all the reporting is

hard to believe but also there could be

a strategic reason they could be

stockpiling it for a big push

that's possible and this isn't yet the

big push they could be withholding it so

the Wagner group doesn't go further

right they might want their army to just

be holding until they're ready for like

a really big push

but if you add it with yesterday's story

that they were using their so-called

best missiles and lots of them

that kind of suggests the running out of

regular stuff

is sort of I mean it not necessarily

but at this point all signs are pointing

pointing toward running out of ammo

now as I've told you before

you don't have to get to zero Mo before

everything falls apart am I right

you don't get you don't have to run out

before everything falls apart you just

have to be not enough

and then you're gonna you're gonna

Retreat instead of fight because you

don't have enough if you don't have

enough ammo the smartest thing to do is

Retreat right am I wrong about that you

know if you don't have any other kind of

Advantage you because you you want to

wait until you have ammo

so you preserve your forces wait to have

ammo and then make another push so

I believe you could have a complete

systems failure with just an ammo

shortage not running out

and I don't know what that shortage is

it could be not much it could imagine if

ten percent of your forces didn't have

ammo

or or everybody had Mo but nobody had

enough

right to like get through a conflict you

the degree that you would have to

restrict the ammo

probably is not as much as you think

before the whole thing falls apart

now remember my other uh conspiracy

theory hypothesis you should put no

weight behind this idea because it's

purely speculative

my belief is that the Wagner group head

is getting too important

and he has to be taken out by Putin and

the best way to take him out is to let

him die or let his forces get degraded

before Putin negotiates for peace

because the last thing he wants is this

souped-up fully armed Wagner group to be

sort of repatriated from the war into

the country and now there's like a

standing army that doesn't report to

Putin you know not directly

and they might be pissed at the Russian

government for who knows what everything

basically so I think I think Putin might

need to have to take the Wagner group

out before he can negotiate peace

so I think he's grinding up the Wagner

group so it looks like Russia has an

offense but making sure they don't win

too hard

because that's not even going to help

him you know winning a little extra

isn't going to help him a lot because I

think he wants to negotiate his way out

so speculation

speculation I I wouldn't put a bet on it

but it looks to me like uh there's two

things going on they're literally

running out of ammo but on top of that

not running out but they're running low

and then on top of that

I think Putin's trying to take the

Wagner group out because he has to

I'll just put that out there for fun see

what happens

um

here's a here's a spotting of systems

being better than goals out in the wild

so

um

I saw a tweet from a Twitter user Brent

aurel who said the most dangerous career

move anyone can make is pursuing

Education and Training strictly on the

basis of an economic future that is

unknowable and therefore almost

completely imaginary

what do you think given that the future

is you know super unpredictable at the

moment

should you get educated

because your education you don't know if

it'll be useful

well

um

a

a writer who does some articles for the

Washington examiner and books and stuff

Tim Carney said this he said amateurs

amateurs think Chess Masters are

planning eight moves ahead Chess Masters

know that's impossible they are thinking

about two moves ahead and asking quote

how can I put myself in the best

position for whatever the heck might

come my way

now you recognize that as systems

thinking right

a system is you don't know where it's

going to end up but you know if you put

this this piece in this part of the

board it will sort of control an area

so so the chess player is playing a

system you know obviously there's a goal

of winning the game but that's trivial I

mean it's obvious uh but the system is

not to plan eight and Advance the the

system is to control territory and you

know that sort of thing

um so what about that in your life

so this is this is what I tell you is

that you should develop a talent stack

that can give you all kinds of options

right you you want to develop the kinds

of skills that would work in every

environment for example

good communication will work in every

environment

being good at dealing with people and

negotiating probably working 90 percent

of environments

yeah so there are a whole bunch of

things that work in any environment

and so you want a system

to be as flexible as possible not a

system that prepares you for exactly one

thing

although if you're learning to be a

doctor that probably makes sense

here there's a Wall Street Journal had a

really interesting article of something

I never would have thought about that

China is having a cousin and uncle

shortage

is that weird

So In traditional Chinese culture you

got big families and the family is your

your support structure you know more so

than even the government so if you get a

this big extended family one of the

advantages is you're more mobile

because for example when I when I moved

to California

I probably would not have except my

brother was already here

so if you have a if you have a family

member who's already in America for

example

it's a lot easier to move to America

right just just having that family

structure but because of the population

uh bomb that's happening in China where

there's just fewer and fewer babies

families are also getting smaller

not only do you have fewer babies or no

babies but your cousin didn't have a

baby either so now your family support

structure is shrinking and that would

have in theory an enormous impact on

China's resilience and economy

which is I've never thought of that the

only reason I bring it up is that it's

one of those things that could be a big

thing that I've literally never thought

about

but it also could give salt easily by

you know workarounds Etc

so just keep an eye on that

all right

uh the Academy Awards has hired a crisis

team

to keep Chris Rock from getting slapped

again I guess no not Chris Rock but just

keep keep any trouble

now here's where our system goes wrong

every time

all right so Chris Rock gets slapped

one time in the history of anything

there was a problem one time

but you're the Academy Awards can you

act as if you're not going to do

anything about it now I guess they you

know maybe kicked uh Will Smith out of

their Academy or something or he quit I

don't know so they could do something

like little symbolic things

but it feels like if you're in charge

you've got to like show you're doing

something like something physical or

you're making a change so imagine some

group comes in and pitches to the

Academy Award people hey

you had a problem uh this is bad PR

because people think my God you haven't

done anything about it you could hire my

company

and we'll put in this crisis management

team and they'll be basically guarding

people from getting on stage

right just guarding people

so

what happens is how can the Academy

Awards say no

to somebody offering physical guards to

solve the problem that maybe people

think is a real problem but really just

happened once

so as soon as this this stuff starts

getting monetized all right then this

this company is the crisis group for

just the Academy Awards do you think

that group would say hey let's talk to

the Golden Globes people they have the

same problem of course they would right

then pretty soon every event would have

to hire a crisis Management Group

the the way our free market works is

amazing and stupid at the same time

because people will sell whatever

anybody can buy and sometimes what

people want to buy is completely

irrational

so keep in mind when you're seeing you

know things like ESG and CRT and Dei

there's somebody like this hypothetical

crisis Management Group who's selling a

package of services and that's why it's

a thing it's not a thing because a whole

bunch of people thought it was a good

idea even though they did even though

they did it's a thing because somebody's

selling it

and as soon as somebody's selling it and

then it becomes a fixture of our reality

then everything's distorted and terrible

so it's just an example of how once we

monetize hate you get more hate

there's no way around it so with social

media monetizes hate because you get

more clicks for hate

now uh yeah so you're gonna get what you

what you monetize

I'm having a feeling that all of the

human society needs to be re-engineered

like almost start start from scratch

now I would agree with you that you know

the classic family structure would be

the best but I don't see any way to

force people into it or even incentivize

them you know you could change the

financial incentives but I feel like the

the horse has left the barn

meaning

people just don't want to be married in

large numbers they just don't want it

and I kind of understand

yeah I tried it a few times like I get

it I get it

but here's some indications that all of

society is falling apart right teens who

meet up with their friends I saw this

Rex Woodbury tweeted it teens who meet

up with their friends almost every day

is down from 50 percent in the 90s to 25

percent today

that's a crisis

half of teens used to hang out with

friends every day now it's only 25

percent

human contact

Keeps Us healthy

this is a Health crisis and then you add

that Mental Health crisis the fentanyl

crisis your kids are have more than ever

I think

and of course this this effect happened

at the same time that smartphones were

introduced of course

um

and then the other things that

smartphones have caused I want to see if

this is a a gender

um

say is this a gender reality or a gender

sexism

sexism a reality here's your am I sexist

or reality

true or false

if a husband texts his wife

and she does not respond for a few hours

he might not like it but it wouldn't be

a problem

am I right you wouldn't like it but it

wouldn't be a problem

if the woman texts if the if the wife

texts the husband and he doesn't respond

in 15 minutes

is it a fight

probably

see even even the most basic

interactions of male and female now some

of you are disagreeing but it's sort of

a thing I think we've all noticed

even the basic interactions between men

and women is being ruined by phones

I I can't I can't walk into another room

without my phone without worrying that

somebody's going to call in in an

emergency I don't know what kind of

calls you get

but if I get a call

it's somebody who's standing in line

somewhere and they need an immediate

answer because they're actually in line

and if they get to the front of the line

and it's only two people they can't do

the thing that they wanted to do and

you'll be sorry

like all all of my calls are an

emergency

I've got somebody standing here right

now uh and I can't do the thing or your

your roof is leaking I mean it's all

it's all emergencies so I never can get

a minute away from my phone but I don't

think it works the other way

all right uh

I'm going to give you a different filter

on the world economic forum that I call

the Dilbert filter

there's a filter which is the the world

economic Forum wants to you know change

the great reset and change everything

and let's say that that's a valid Theory

let's say that's a theory I'm going to

offer you a second explanation and I

want you to compare it to your current

thinking about the Wes master plan to

change the economy and take away all

your stuff

so this comes from Naomi Klein and it

was in The Intercept in 2020 I hadn't

seen it until now

but she says

I'll just read one of her sentences

great reset is not a serious effort to

actually solve the crises it describes

on the contrary is it an attempt to

create a plausible impression that the

huge winners in this system in other

words rich people are on the verge of

voluntarily setting greed aside

to get serious about solving the Raging

crises that are radically destabilizing

our world

I'm sorry I don't care what any of you

believe about the world economic Forum

once you see this Frame it's so obvious

that's what's happening no of course

they don't mean any of this stuff of

course they don't beat it

the whole thing is to make you think

they mean it they don't do anything

all they do is bring all the rich people

together and say you know these rich

people don't even want to make money

they don't even care about money let me

tell you the rich people in this room

these are the ones who want to solve

climate change for you no matter how

much it costs them even if they have to

give up their Maseratis they're going to

work for your benefit

by joining a meeting and talking

and you might say but

what have they changed

to which I say well they certainly have

proposed things I know but like what's

actually happened well have you seen the

ten point plan I know but

it was actually different because of the

world economic fit well have you noticed

that the things are recommending are

part of the trend

yeah but that doesn't mean they did

anything

uh this is my current belief about the

world economic Forum it's a Dilbert

situation

where rich people are just covering

their asses and creating this basically

the effectively it's a human PowerPoint

presentation that says they're doing the

right things but they're not doing the

right things

they're not doing the right things

the other possibility is that they mean

all this crazy that you think

they really mean

I'm sorry if you believe that they

believe a plan to do any of that crazy

that you've heard about

it's all signaling

that's my current belief now that

doesn't mean that's what they're

thinking

just to be clear that doesn't mean that

you know when JB Diamond goes there or

whoever it doesn't mean he's thinking

all right I gotta go do the theater none

of this is going to happen I don't want

it to happen I'm just going to go do the

theater I doubt it's that simple

it's just everybody knowing what's in

their interest

this is the George Carlin explanation

you don't need a conspiracy when

everyone knows what they need to do

they all they all know what they need to

do they the world economic Forum doesn't

invite stupid people unless they're

celebrities am I right

so it's basically brilliant business

people and leaders and idiots

celebrities so that you'll think oh they

really they agree with those celebrities

it looks like it's a whole bunch of

people that even celebrities

are on board with us I think all the

rich people are like oh cool we get to

go someplace and meet some celebrities

and and get out of town and go skiing

and and when we get back we can say

we're working on the big problems of

reality when nothing like that is

happening

it's kind of brilliant

all right

um

I I I watched in horror as

representative Sylvia Garcia Democrat

from Texas

um try to embarrass Matt taibi and then

Michael schellenberger at this

Congressional hearing and I'm not even

going to give you the details of the

ridiculous questions she asked I'm just

going to tell you that I've never seen

two people react

in the more perfectly

to that level of

the normal way to react when somebody

said to you you're in public and you're

being grilled is you either get the the

button-down approach like yes

representative I understand what you're

saying but uh you know my my reasoning

is this

all right and that's never really good

because it's just somebody acting

reasonable and then somebody's slapping

them over and over again

the other way is to react angrily no no

you're lying we did not say that or that

did not happen or you're exaggerating

right and those that can make you look

bad too I mean you could win that way

but it gives you die but what what taibi

and uh and shellenberger did

was the just the best they just couldn't

keep the smiles off their face which was

clearly signaling oh my God you

see this too right

right the look on their face was to the

audience you see this too don't you

oh it was perfect it was just perfect

now I don't think they planned that I

think it was just spontaneous I think

they were actually amused like they

didn't look like they were acting I

think they were about to break out

laughing because the the Democrat was

looking so stupid at that moment so that

was kind of perfect

all right

um I I loved watching Anderson Cooper

interview uh Adam Schiff so he had the

three faces on screen and the three

boxes so Adam Schiff was on the left and

Anderson Cooper in the middle

interviewing and Adam kinsinger was

there

and

uh Adam Schiff was trying to

see I can't even I can't even talk about

Adam Schiff without laughing because

it's now it's just so not serious

anymore

like Adam Schiff is just like the worst

and Watergate guy you know once you've

ascended to Pure comedy so he gets on

there and he says that uh Tucker Carlson

is trying to Gaslight the country by

showing actual footage of what happened

and now I get it that that video footage

could be misleading as was the the

January 6 video footage but it's a

little disingenuous to be complaining

that the very thing you just did

is being done by the other side like we

don't notice like nobody noticed that

the entire context is that Tucker

Carlson only has that video because you

did this thing

in front of the world in the biggest

possible way which is

distorting the the story by selective

edits and and the the balls of this guy

to accuse the other side of what he's

literally the most famous practitioner

of

is

it's just like a comedy act now some of

you say he's he's projecting you know

the the Tucker Carlson thing they always

they always blame you of the thing

they're doing but it's a perfect example

now what I loved about the story is not

what uh Schiff said is Anderson Cooper's

face as he as he listens uh to

to shift essentially defending CNN at

the same time not intentionally but keep

in mind that CNN had reported the

January 6 event like it was real

think about that CNN cover at the

January 6th gen you know the the

committee like it was all real

and now it's very clear that the thing

was closer to a hoax

you know which I've said from the

beginning so CNN really can't hide from

the fact that they covered the story as

real and it's now pretty obvious

some portion of it was just pure hoax

would you agree with that do you agree

with that statement

that is now obvious that the January 6th

committee was just an operation

and they they reported it as real the

entire time now isn't that embarrassing

to hear them

all right is that the yeah I would think

that's embarrassing so Anderson Cooper's

in the middle and uh what I tweeted was

I can't read minds by Anderson Cooper's

face suggests he's not pleased with the

Liars that turn CNN into the dumbest fly

on turd Mountain

and the only reason I'm telling you this

story is that I'm so proud of that

phrase

the dumbest fly on turd Mountain

I welcome you to borrow it

and I'm going to give you full copyright

to that phrase and here's the best part

don't give me credit if you use it

right like if you're talking to your

relatives or something you know they

don't follow just just act like you made

that one up

you you have my approval to attribute it

to your own

good thinking right it's yours I release

it to you

just say there that but but you have to

sell it you gotta you gotta sell like

you just came up with I said I tell you

and Adam Chef

he's making CNN look like that dumbest

fly on turd Mountain

and try to sell it like it's always been

a saying

yeah try to make it look like oh you

haven't heard that one oh yeah it's yeah

you don't want to be the dumbest fly on

turd Mountain my grandfather used to say

that not really but you can tell people

yeah you don't want to die in turret

Hill

[Laughter]

well there's an upgrade you know how

people always say don't die on that Hill

I think it's more effective you say well

if I were you I wouldn't die on turd

Hill

then I saw uh Adam Schiff uh appearing

on MSC and the msnb show with Lawrence

Lawrence whatever his name is he's got

his own show I remember he doesn't like

hammering Lauren somebody

um and then and the chef was saying that

uh Fox News is only acting because they

care about the money and the ratings

so he was on MSNBC whose ratings are in

the toilet

reminding them that they shouldn't care

so much about ratings

has any Democrat ever given good advice

do not get your economic advice from a

Democrat So Adam Schiff telling you know

a struggling network with falling

ratings that they shouldn't worry so

much about the ratings and the money

oh no you know you know what you know

what MSNBC should be struggling for

equity Equity yeah yeah I think CNN and

MSNBC

they should be trying to achieve equity

in the news business well Fox News is

trying to be the best in the business

and we'll lap them and Destroy them

but

hey equity

um

and uh the only reason I bring that up

is to make fun of the fact that I don't

know who Lawrence Lawrence O'Donnell

okay I didn't know his name that was

really my main point

uh

oh yeah and Chef is trying to get

advertisers to stop advertising on Fox

News

the only people who advertise on Fox

News are pharmaceutical companies and

that got canceled

and and some charity stuff yeah usually

something about veterans

like could Fox News have any fewer

advertisement options than they have

yeah they've got canceled my pillow guy

bunch of pharmaceuticals that maybe they

shouldn't have

although I haven't seen as many lately I

haven't seen as many pharmaceutical ads

and maybe maybe there's a reason for

that uh

yeah Saint Jude's

so so it's either

charity or somebody canceled

it's not like Fox News has a lot of

options

all right uh

uh this might feel like a repeat but uh

it looks like Trump's about to be

indicted

ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

ha

should I even read this story

all right this is the best one yet

so this is in the uh the genre of the

walls are closing in we got it this time

we got him this time yeah finally and

let me describe how the news tries to

deal with this as a real story

right they wouldn't they want to sell

this as something that's real

uh so all right so what's happening is

that New York I guess Manhattan

prosecutor Attorney Alvin Bragg

um he's notifying attorneys I heard this

in the New York Post that uh the that

the commander the ex-commander-in-chief

Trump is going to be asked to defend

himself in front of a grand jury hearing

now people in the know say that if

you're asked to defend yourself in front

of a grand jury it's indication that

it's sort of the last step before they

indict

so there's the signal is very clear that

the intention is to indict

so how strong is this claim let's see it

involves Stormy Daniels payments

they think Trump will decline the offer

um

and it it's unclear What charges brag

intends to bring against Trump but the

report notices from the New York Post

the report notes that prosecutors could

accuse the former president of

falsifying business records

that'll put him away forever won't it

falsifying some not some business

records not tax records

but just some business records

falsifying some business records and

then they could here's the good part

they could Elevate that charge to a

felony

because otherwise you know it's not

going to keep them out of office or

anything but they get elevated to a

felony by arguing that it was attached

to a second crime

what

so apparently

if you do something that's not too

important but they can attach it to

another thing that's not important the

two of the things that are not that

important

can be conflated into a felony charge

they are literally coming up with

imaginary crimes

that is an imaginary crime

if you have to take two non-crimes and

add them together and argue there's a

connection and then when you connect

them the two are greater than the sum of

the parts

now I get that you know that could look

like a RICO thing like a RICO thing is a

whole bunch of things that suggest it's

all connected and stuff so

I don't know to me uh

well I'm just going to go with the

mainstream the walls are closing in they

got them this time once they conflate

those two small things into a big felony

the jury is likely to go for that

it does not seem even slightly dangerous

and

imagine that Trump imagine this is the

last thing he has left

it could be like the last legal thing

and it would mean that all of them were

nothing they were they're either trivial

or just absolutely made up or nothing

so New York Post also reports that

private lead to Santa says he's in the

race do you believe that

do you believe that that desensis is

definitely already decided he's already

created a structure

and he's just waiting to May to announce

it's believable it's believable

but I feel like there was something else

I would need to know

and I think what I would need to know is

what is his thinking about Trump

could it be that he's preparing without

spending too much money or time could he

be preparing in case Trump doesn't run

let's say you get some legal problems or

something else maybe Trump has a health

problem you know anything could happen

between now and may is it possible he's

just getting ready in case

and that his intention to run is

conditional on what Trump does

because I could see that usually being

confused as an intention to run when it

might be a conditional intention to run

as in if this happens and if this

happens I'll run

you know it's always conditional I guess

in reality everything's conditional you

can change your mind at any time

but

does that sound right does it sound like

it might be conditional and maybe he

sees how he pulls or something before he

makes a decision

yeah

all right well

I would uh do you think the world is

better if DeSantis gets in and pushes

Trump

because I love the fact that uh Vivek

Rama Swami's in the in the the race

because he's definitely made the the

primary better he's already made

Republicans better Republicans

I think

yeah

uh well we'll see it'll be interesting I

guess I'd like to see him get in just

because I like competition

uh Tim Poole had cash Patel on his show

and uh he gives two reasons to suspect

that rayaps is a was a Fed working on

January 6 for the feds here is two

reasons one of them is one I gave you uh

first he says that raps was on FBI's

most wanted list for one day and the

next day he was off there are only two

ways that happens you die or you become

an informant now remember cash Patel was

a prosecutor

so he's worked sources so when he says

there's only one you know there's only

one way or two ways you can get off the

FBI's most wanted list he's not guessing

he's not guessing there's only two ways

I mean maybe there's some weird Third

Way

um

and then the other the other point is

the one I gave when the representative

from the FBI I forget which one was

asked by Ted Cruz

under oath

were there any FBI agents involved in

January 6th she refused to answer

and as cash points out and I pointed out

when it happens if the answer was no

you would not say we don't talk about

that stuff

am I right

if the answer is just no

you say no

because you wouldn't be giving up any

secrets and you would resolve the matter

or you'd be closer to resolving it right

there

I don't I don't see any way that Ray

Epps wasn't up to something

you know with the government I don't

know what it doesn't necessarily mean

that he was he was hired to cause the

riot

it could be that you just wanted to do

it anyway but it could be that they were

going to ask him for information about

it or it would help him get into the

maybe he would help him infiltrate you

know more Mega organizations or

something so it's possible that he was

working for the feds but not in some

um

assertive way that caused the the

violence to happen

maybe he was just there to watch and

observe and they're trying to work with

him to make him more of a source in the

future maybe I know so so there is there

is some room for

Ray Epps could be working for the feds I

don't want him to sue me so I'll just

say allegedly

um

and it's still not being what you think

is that a possibility is it a

possibility that he's totally he was

totally working for the government but

that it wasn't a big deal it was just

one of one of the many people there

trying to turn into informants

um

anything is possible that's right

so DeSantis is picking up free money

again as I often say he will do the

thing that when he does it you wonder

why everybody else didn't do it first

have you noticed that quality about

DeSantis he's really good at it like

consistently here's the next the next

one this is just free money best tennis

player in the world I think still Novak

Djokovic is not allowed in the country

for the Miami open which is a huge event

in the country uh much less or even much

more for Florida because he's not

vaccinated

it's 20 23.

the healthiest the healthiest man in the

world can't come into the country

because he's not vaccinated

he might be the healthiest person in the

world if you've ever seen them train and

play I mean he's in really good shape so

uh DeSantis

somehow cleverly realizing that this ban

was about airline travel

he asked the Biden Administration to

confirm that he the Djokovic would be

let into Florida if he came by boat

because apparently you can come by boat

but not Airline

what what

are you kidding me

that's a real thing

that's a real thing

and the government hasn't moved to fix

it so the government should either make

the boats require the vaccination or

make the airlines not but it's just

absurd to have the difference so

apparently uh DeSantis wants to make a

boat available

now

what do you do about that except

standing ovation

am I wrong I mean let's just standing

ovation stuff

yeah that's

[Applause]

that's

there is just no other reaction to that

you just can't react any other way

standing ovation

that's it

and he just keeps doing that

all right uh

war on the cartels so more I guess uh

Lindsey Graham and uh who else Senator

John Kennedy are putting through some

legislation to make the cartels uh

terrorist organizations which would

unleash the military upon them

I believe Ted Cruz is more in favor of

financial actions

uh what do you think would be the best

play Financial only

plus whatever else we're doing Financial

only or direct military action

both yeah I'm going to say both because

that's what it took to be Isis am I

right

Isis was a military PLUS Financial

and

and Trump did seem to succeed in

defeating Isis it does look like it

looks like it to me so

um I don't know what will happen

but I love the fact that the cartel that

kidnapped and then killed two Americans

I love the fact that they apologized

that really happened right

so if you have a cartel apologizing to

the United States that only means one

thing

they do not do not want the military to

get involved do not very much do not

now what does that tell you

I'll tell you what it tells me

president Trump would solve this in an

afternoon

do you know why

because once you know they're afraid of

the military

you negotiate with them directly

imagine Trump talking to the heads of

the cartels because I think he could get

a call

I think Trump could actually get the

hands of the cartel on the phone

don't you

I mean if they thought they could do it

without getting caught I I think so

and I think he could say directly

we're gonna we're gonna up your

and it's going to happen fast

if you want to get out of the the death

ray that's coming your way and you can't

get out of it the only thing you can do

is negotiate

and that negotiation means you stop

sending stuff to us

maybe we help you uh turn your operation

into something positive

for example would it be crazy

to say that they had whoever the leaders

of the cartels are look

we're very impressed with your

organizational skills

we're also going to kill you

in a week

but if you'd like

Mexico

needs a lot of industry and if you'd

like to do what American robber barons

did in this country which is you start

by doing some really sketchy illegal

become a robber baron

and then you try to move your operation

into legal businesses like Crocker

you know you you was one of the guys

with the the Transcontinental Railroad

those guys were all just bastards and

you know they're just the worst people

in the world by today's standards of

course even then by their standards they

were just horrible people

terrible Crooks

and

when they got rich the thing they needed

more than anything is to is to make

their uh let's say their kids and their

kids kids not live under the oak the

Yoke of some criminal organization so I

believe that Trump could actually

repatriate not repatriate I keep using

that word I think he could actually talk

some of the cartels into taking a better

offer because the other offer is dead

and there's there's no negotiating on

that you either take the offer or you're

dead in a week

I think that's I think Trump could get

that done now you might not be the only

one who can get it done but I think

you'd be the best

I think you'd be the best

you know I think the others maybe you

could do it too

you know the story about fauci you

probably noticed I've talked less about

fauci than anybody who does what I do

you know talking about the news you

probably wondered about that why don't

you talk about fauci more we hate fauci

help us hate fauci some more well one of

the reasons I don't is that I'm very

reluctant to go after uh individuals

right I'd rather talk about you know

unless they're president that's

different but I don't like to go after

individuals unless I have really solid

something solid it just feels like a

dick move to go after an individual

because the news is always so wrong that

whatever you're accusing somebody of is

like what are the odds that's even true

look at the number of people who came

after me in the past couple weeks

how many of them actually knew the story

the the ones who came after me heart

almost none almost none so why do I

think this is the Gelman effect why do I

think that the reporting on fauci is

accurate

I've seen what the reporting on me is

I know what that looks like

don't I but why do you think fauces is

accurate that would be the most

ridiculous assumption that the reporting

on fauci is accurate

that would be ridiculous because it's

never accurate when you're talking about

public figures it just never is it just

isn't you know there's nothing you could

do about that

so that's why I hold off with people

like fauci I heard you know horrible

damning things which

didn't seem totally credible to me

but our current understanding and I'll

say this is all allegations and what

other people believe

is that

fauci indirectly funded gain of function

in Wuhan

then when it got out he

redirected attention away from the lab

and then

he became the uh the leading figure in

fixing the pandemic that if this

reporting is true

he caused

not not by himself of course but he

would be a primary cause

did this really happen

this whole story is too on the nose

right

it looks like it happened it looks like

that narrative might survive a challenge

it might but that is just too like a

book

and one of the what are the odds that

the one guy who funded it

is the highest paid person in the

government who became a superstar for

trying to defeat the virus that he

created allegedly yeah with indirect

funding to the lab

that does does just on the surface

doesn't that strike you as just too it's

a little too neat

you're saying it happened and I'm not

even disagreeing because I don't know

right but that would be the weirdest

simulation story of all time if he

caused it and then he was in charge of

fixing it and then we didn't find out

and how much money do you think fauci's

made

we have no indications but we also don't

know what a stocky holds

right

do we know what stocky holds I don't

believe he is he has to report that

if I had to guess

and this would be just a guess

uh

probably 80 million dollars he made

during the pandemic if I had to guess

just based on he probably you know over

the years he's probably collecting a lot

of stock in companies that would make

money in a pandemic

patents maybe yeah I don't know did he

have an interest in uh

REM desevere

did somebody say it is some kind of

interest in the company that does REM

disappear

I don't know about that so I'll say that

I'm not going to make any accusations

about financial gain because I don't

have details but if I had to guess

and this isn't even about fauci if you

just take fauci out of it and say

somebody is a million years old and

they've been the central person working

for big Pharma in the virus area for all

those years

does he own a substantial stock remember

he was the highest paid government

employee so he had presumably investable

funds but he also probably had some

connections where he would get some

stock from I don't know startups and

stuff

he probably had

let's say 10 million dollars of Pharma

stock before it all started

I don't know if that's true I'm just

speculating if he had 10 million it

probably went to 80 million

because everything went through the roof

so he might have made I don't know 20 80

million dollars during the pandemic that

wouldn't surprise me

would you be surprised if he had a 10

million dollar portfolio and a lot of it

was in Pharma

maybe because he does speeches or worked

with people who've got stock you don't

know he's been around for a long time

well I'm going to say I'm not totally

believing all the stories about fauci

but uh if it is what it looks exactly

like it is

that's pretty alarming

that's pretty alarming it might be it

might be exactly what it looks like all

right this ladies and gentlemen

was

uh

almost the end of my live stream let me

tell you just before I got out I jumped

on a spaces call and there were a number

of black Americans talking and when they

saw me on there they invited me up and

asked me to explain my comments

and how do you think it went when they

asked me to explain my comments

were they receptive

it went very well all right I'm actually

considering uh

re-identifying as black

because black Americans have come out of

you know my little drama for the last

couple weeks black Americans have come

out of this really well like in my

opinion their their reaction to it

sometimes horrified

but they would be horrified and then ask

questions like what did he mean why did

he do it

that's perfect

that's perfect

because I was being hyperbolic to get

people horrified they were but instead

of canceling me they in fact the first

thing the first thing the host said was

that it was the white people that

canceled me and did I agree with that

yes yes absolutely black people haven't

canceled me from anything not a single

thing

they mostly say that's very alarming

what are you talking about

exactly what I wanted

white people just had to signal so they

were they were kind of useless to this

but then I had just enough time

to tell them the entire purpose was to

attract energy to a point which is if

you have people who are looking

backwards with their strategy

such as CRT that's a backwards look

and you compared them to people who have

a forward-looking strategy for life

get a talent stack together systems over

goals all that stuff that you just can't

compare how successful one group would

be to the other so that was the message

I wanted to get through the systemic

racism is real but you can slice through

it if you focus on the tools for

personal success which would include

strategy for getting through systemic

racism

and

I think I penetrated a bubble

because these are things that I've

wanted to say for a while but I was just

preaching to people who largely already

agree with those things

but I but this was the first time I got

invited into what I would consider

definitely not my bubble

now I think I think a number of them may

be leaned right but it was definitely a

sort of a black Centric group and I

don't normally get invited to that so

my original intention

was to

put a message that I think is really

useful focus on personal success

and try to penetrate as many bubbles as

I can now this is a very small small

success but I definitely got a useful

High Ground

totally practical set of ideas into a

bubble where it wouldn't have been

I think that's good

I mean it's a small move but so far my

plan is working weirdly well

better than I expected and beyond that I

seem to be invited everywhere

I'm invited everywhere remember Fox News

seemed to be ignoring my story for a

while I have been invited by you know

Hannity Hannity invited me but I didn't

want to do that yet because I would look

too much like people who agree with me

because I think I think he would do what

everybody would do condemn me for what I

said

and I even condemned myself for it I

said it to get a reaction so you can't

criticize me for doing the thing that I

wanted to do that worked really well

I'm not going to apologize for doing a

thing I wanted to do that works really

well for the people who got offended no

I'm not going to apologize for that so

uh but Larry Elder also invited me on a

show

and what do you think of that

should I do Larry Elder

so it's the same problem he's going to

agree with me yeah I saw an article he

wrote In Real Clear Politics so I know

he's going to be philosophically on the

same side and he would be he would

identify as a conservative but I feel

like I'm not getting the invitations I

want from the left

do you know why the left is not invited

me

do you know why the left is not inviting

me

you know

yeah they're afraid it's literally fear

yeah you saw what happened when uh

Russell Brand went on Ms MSNBC oh he was

on the Bill Maher show with the MSNBC

guy

all right

like you don't want somebody to bring a

wildly different idea into your bubble

if it could destroy your bubble yeah I'm

kind of a bubble breaker

in the worst case scenario I'm just

dangerous at this point I'm literally

dangerous wouldn't you agree

I've made myself literally dangerous to

the to the prevailing narrative because

I'm now impossible to to Res to ignore

I'm impossible to ignore and I have a

message that's a high ground message

meaning as soon as you hear it you say

Okay that was better than what we were

doing

nobody is going to argue that focusing

on personal success for young black

people

is a good strategy nobody they will only

say but also other things need to be

done and then I'll say how's that

working out

how are those other things working out

a lot less systemic racism this year

than last

none of it's working I can agree with

all that stuff being important but

nobody's doing anything about it so

instead you need to you need to fortify

the individual

so the individual is you know

invulnerable to the worst parts of

systemic racism you just slice right

through him like how do you slice

through them like a

you'll slice through systemic racism if

you have the right tools like a

hot rod through butter that's correct

like a hot rod through butter

all right so my plan is working out

swimmingly well

um

let me ask the people who are less

familiar with me because there are

always a few

over on YouTube especially so

YouTubers have you ever seen me

influence beyond the the race question

have you ever seen any influence a

national event

in a positive way

so just look at the comments if I ever

influence a national event in a positive

way

right so those of you who are not

familiar with what I've been doing for

the last five years uh look at the

answers now you can ignore the nose

because that just means they're not

familiar the yeses are telling you

everything you need to know you wouldn't

have that many yeses unless people

noticed

there's a real thing that's happening

that I'm part of the locals group is

part of it and now you're part of it

which is anybody who boosts my signal

is doing something good

now not the hyperbolic symbol don't

boost my uh

hyperbole but boost my reframe and the

reframe is work on your individual

success skills

and you will do fine

and there you go thanks for listening

YouTube I'll be with you again tomorrow

I appreciate you being here
