View segment →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.

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
