Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization. Sometimes with proper lighting. There we go, just right.

If you'd like to take this experience, which is going to be amazing just by itself, but if you want to take this to levels that nobody's ever understood or heard or could even speak of — there's no words to explain it — all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tankard or a canteen or a jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.

Ah. You did that well. I think that was your best sip. Good job.

Well, I don't know where to begin. There's so many weird and interesting stories today that I didn't even get to check the news, and I'll talk about that. The news without the news.

All right. Well, I like to start with interesting stories before we get to the big meat. So there's a tour group that gives tours of San Francisco. How would you like to be a tour group or how would you like to be a business whose job it was to give tours of San Francisco? Well, apparently they're capitalizing on the situation, and they're now giving a tour that they call the Doom Loop walking tour. And it's a tongue-in-cheek ad, but it says you've read the headlines, you've seen the tweets. Now get up close and personal to the doom and squalor of downtown San Francisco. Oh, just discover the policy choices that made America's wealthiest city the nation's innovative leader in housing crisis addiction.

So apparently here's the funny part. The tours are booked. They're fully booked. There's all these people who want to see the Doom Loop of a city in complete disarray and decline.

Now, if there's one thing I love about America — there's more than one thing — but one thing I love about America is that we've never heard of a problem we can't make money on. You name it. If something's going wrong, there's one of us bastards who's figuring out how to make a buck on it. And I'm sure that that's what keeps the entire system working, is that the dumbest, most unproductive things in the world can be going on, and somebody's going to be sitting off the sideline saying, I think I can make this work. I think I can build a business model around this. Free market for the win.

Speaking of the free market, Elon Musk tweeted that he actually put newspapers in quotes. He goes, newspapers? Just search the internet, particularly this platform, and print it out. Wow. You know, there used to be a good reason to read newspapers. Does anybody remember when newspapers had a comic? What was it called? It was called Dilbert. Dilbert used to be in these paper things called newspapers, and they would be sent to people like physically to their homes and stuff, and then they would try to read them, and they would get their hands filled with all kind of weird ink and crap. And after you read it, you couldn't touch your food. Did you ever try to read a newspaper and eat toast at the same time? No, you can't do it, because your toast is going to taste like newspaper ink, right?

I might have a bad attitude about newspapers at the moment. I might have a little bias, a little bit. The funniest question I get from trolls online is that the trolls like to come into my tweets and say something about how sad I must be that I got canceled by newspapers. Who would want to be associated with newspapers? Can you raise your hand? Is there anybody here who has ever gone on a date and lied that you worked in the newspaper business to try to impress your date? It's like, I don't want her to hear that I'm a quality assurance person at a big corporation. I'm going to make up some kind of sexy job. Astronaut? No, no, she'd catch me. Newspaper reporter. Newspaper writer. Yeah, yeah. Because you'd like to feel good about yourself because you work for a newspaper.

Well, I was also watching some YouTube clips from Peter Zeihan. My God, that guy's interesting. Now, I do not know if Peter Zeihan has amazingly good insights about everything geopolitical or not. I mean, I really can't tell what's true and what's not. But I'll tell you, his content is interesting from beginning to end. So you know, use your adult filters to put yourself in the head of nobody knows the future. Can we agree that nobody knows the future? But he says interesting things. I'm going to share a few with you.

And first of all, I need a fact check on this, because as Elon Musk says, the newspapers but also the regular news, they don't have regular news gathering assets, so they're trying to sell opinion as news. So when actual news drops, sometimes you can't find it anywhere because it's not opinion, it's actual news. But can you give me a confirmation? I haven't seen this in any news, so-called news, that we're working on a deal with Iran, and that is looking good. Have you heard that? I can't even tell if it was a new video, but why did I completely miss that in reading the news every single day, several times a day, and I never saw it? Well, I don't know why. I guess it's because, as Elon Musk says, the newspapers are not real news, and the regular news isn't real news.

And by the way, that was another thing that Peter Zeihan described. He described the evolution from having robust news bureaus in other countries to what we have now, which is people writing opinions, and then other people writing opinions about the other people's opinions. And we're selling it as news because it comes out on the legacy platforms that you used to think were news. So it makes you think that news is happening, but there hasn't been news in a long time, and news went away a long time ago. It's just opinions about opinions.

So anyway, but if Peter Zeihan is correct, it would look like the broad strokes of the deal would have something about the U.S. having, or the international community, the U.N. having more access to checking out Iran's nuclear situation. And apparently they're going to agree to that. And one of the surprises is — now this is from Peter Zeihan — one of the surprises is when Iran recently was reinspected, that uranium that they were processing up to nuclear grade, they actually started going in the other direction. They took half of what they had up to like 90 percent, and half of it they've already downgraded it to — is it enrichment is the right word? So they've unenriched it, if that's the thing. So it's less likely to become a weapon. So it's beginning to look like Iran either didn't need that much or maybe they weren't so dead set on building a nuclear weapon.

I guess part of the deal is they would allow more inspections. They would give six billion dollars of their own money back, or somebody else's money. It wasn't our money. But the background on this is that the Russian sanctions, in an indirect way that he can explain but I can't at the moment, in an indirect way it hurt Iran. So Iran apparently is just dying for cash. They're just broke. And so Biden may have accidentally done more harm to Iran's economy than Trump did, but not because he was trying, but because the Ukraine war had a side impact on Iran which is pretty devastating. So that made an opportunity for a deal because Iran was more desperate than they have been.

Now this is Peter Zeihan's take. I don't know. I'm not there, so I don't have any counterclaims to bounce against it. But the idea is that Iran might be flexible about nuclear stuff. And here's — and if Zeihan is right — Benjamin Netanyahu, head of Israel, says that they're looking at a deal that he can live with. So there might actually be something going on that's entirely positive for everybody, meaning that the Middle East would get back into some kind of balance.

I believe part of the deal is that Iran would stop funding attacks against Saudi Arabia and some of their neighbors. So you would get less funding of proxy attacks. We'd get some prisoners back, I guess. Some drug dealers were in prison. They would give six billion dollars of their own or somebody else's money that they had been held up, but it wasn't our money. And then we would get access to their nuclear inspections.

Now the fact that maybe Netanyahu could live with it — now put two things together. Two things. Start with the Abraham Accords. So the Abraham Accords got a lot of the players on the same team, at least economically and on paper. But Iran was specifically carved out as somebody you couldn't deal with at the moment. But that caused the problem because Iran is a funder of proxy wars, and they're the big problem over there.

So it looks like we're heading toward — don't get too excited, but yeah, the chatter is Saudi Arabia might be willing to recognize Israel, which I think might be a separate conversation, but I can easily see them folded together. So Saudi Arabia might get relief from the proxy wars. Is it the Houthis? And the whoever. So the Yemen thing might get some relief, at least in the funding sense. Relief meaning they're not funded to attack anybody anymore. And that would create the hope would be some balance in the Middle East sufficient that we don't need to be involved, we the United States. And that might be amazing.

We might be right on the cusp of two administrations doing the right thing. In one case maybe a little bit accidentally, but taking advantage of it. We might be seeing something like a gigantic two-administration achievement. That would be kind of amazing. Kind of amazing.

The Houthis are Rwanda's? Okay, I don't know. My assumption, everything I said about that area is wrong. So it's the Yemen. What are the two groups in Yemen? The two warring groups in Yemen are the Houthis. All right, well, somebody's fighting over there anyway. So that might be good. We'll see.

But the other thing that Peter Zeihan said is that — I hadn't heard this before — that the primary reason for Russia's, let's say, aggressiveness against his neighbors, and I'd never heard this before. Now you'd always heard that it was maybe defensive, and maybe he was building up his empire to get it back to where it was. But everything that you hear in the United States through the regular news about Russia and Russia's intentions and Putin's intentions, that's all fake. You know that, right? Like anything about Putin's intentions, that's all fake propaganda, right?

So Peter's Zeihan's take, and I don't know if I believe it, so I feel like there's probably a lot more to it. Yeah, you've heard it's about warm water ports. Here's his take. That the topography of Russia and the surrounding countries that are between it and Europe proper, the topography is really disadvantageous for defense. Meaning that if somebody were to attack Russia prior to Russia being aggressive and taking Crimea and Georgia and all those things, there were some easy attack points that the homeland of Russia would be vulnerable to. But in the old days under the Soviet Union, they had controlled enough territory that they could control choke points. So there are some choke points that if you control them militarily, it would be very difficult for an army to attack Russia. If you don't, apparently it's kind of easy on the ground.

Now, so the thinking is that even if Putin left tomorrow, the other senior people who were his people would have exactly the same policy because they all see us as an existential risk to Russia, whether soon or in the next thousand years. In other words, they're looking for a permanent security situation for Russia.

Now, have you ever seen that reported in regular news? I read a lot of news about Ukraine. I've never seen that before. Have you? How many of you have never heard that before other than from Peter Zeihan? So some of you have. A lot of you have. Interesting. All right. Well, good for you.

You know, I've said this a lot. This is, I think, the most informed and smartest audience in politics because you actually are engaged in trying to figure out how to figure out, which is way more important than figuring out what the news said. This is a group of people who are very actively trying to figure out how are they lying to us, and if they are lying, how can we figure it out, and what are they trying to tell us or lying and stuff. So I'm impressed. I'm impressed that that's such a basic thing that you should need to know about the Ukraine war.

Now here's the part that I'm going to disagree with Peter Zeihan. He says that the war can't end unless one of them just has a convincing victory, and that that's unlikely. So that if Ukraine doesn't have a right win and pretty much demolish Russia as a major power, or Putin somehow magically wins, if that doesn't happen, the war will just go on forever. But what I hear is the opposite. What I hear, if it's true that their primary interest is the choke points, how could you not have a way to negotiate that? That feels like the easiest thing to negotiate.

Now that doesn't mean you necessarily say these choke points can belong to you, but it definitely tells you that if you've got something called NATO, don't expect them to give up on the choke points. I mean, you'd have to look at the whole situation, right? Like how about the whole trade economic situation? How about the entire Russia-China connection? You'd want to loosen that and maybe get Russia into the European or American domain a little bit more.

So to me, the fact that we understand what the Russians want, or at least I do, maybe for the first time I understand that element, that usually gives you something to negotiate. The times when you can't negotiate is when two sides want the same thing and there's only one of the same thing. This is a situation where Russia wants something unique to Russia, and other people want their own things like their own security, etc. But they're different things. And I would say as a general negotiation fact that when people want the same one thing, you've got a problem. You know that statue? I own that. No, I own it. Where are you going to go with that, right? You can't have half a statue.

But if you've got a situation where what the Russians need is a specific geographic or defensive power, there's probably a number of ways to get to that. And it's unique to them. So in other words, you don't have to give up something of your own too much necessarily to give them what they want. And that usually suggests a deal could be made. So I still think he could.

All right. RFK Jr. said two of the most surprising things you'll ever hear from a Democrat. Number one, Trump was right. He was wrong. The wall is needed. Boom. Now when he says it, carefully, I don't mean physically a wall the whole way, but also Trump didn't really mean that either. He means whatever it takes to close the border. He calls the border completely open. And he tells a story that's associated with his documentary he did. He spent a lot of time interviewing people there.

And I heard a story from him — this was on Tucker's interview — I heard a story from RFK Jr. that I'd never heard. Apparently we always knew the cartels are managing the illegal flow of immigration. We didn't know — well, I didn't know. So again this might be something you already knew. I didn't know that their operation, the cartel operation, had spread globally to the point where almost all of the immigrants are not from Central America or Mexico. Almost all of them are from Africa, everywhere else, China. And he pointed out that the vast majority of them are military-age men. But he's not saying it's a military operation. He's just saying that's if you were to look at them, that would be the description. The young men. But they're coming from Africa, they're coming from China, they're coming from any place they can get out of.

And apparently this system is built to look like we have a system, but it's a fake system. It's really designed to let everybody in. And here's what that means. If you come in, let's say, the legal way where the government is checking your fingerprints and giving you a court date, your court date is in seven years. You have seven years to live in this country completely legally. Now you're not a citizen, but you're completely legal because you've checked in. Do you think that in seven years they're going to be sent back? Do you think there's a court in America seven years from now who's going to say, well, you've been living and working here for seven years and you've committed no crimes, let's say. Do you think that we're going to send them back? Of course not.

No, we do have an open border. And even RFK Jr., a Democrat, says it clearly. This is an open border. And he's basically saying that the news has been kept from you. Not only has the news been kept from us, but even from the right. I would say that I have not seen any right-leaning publication — and that might be on me. I mean, it probably is in Breitbart actually. Breitbart's good on the border. So Breitbart probably has covered this, but I haven't seen it on Fox News — that 98 percent of the people coming in are not from Central and South America. And Kamala Harris says that all worked out right. So Kamala Harris is working on Central America, and that's not even the problem. That it doesn't look like incompetence, does it?

Would you agree that whatever is going on, it doesn't look like incompetence? It looks like some kind of a very determined effort to just let everybody in. And it's hard for me to imagine what the positive outcome of that is, because the cities are gone. The cities are destroyed. Are you telling me the Democrats were trying to destroy the Democrat cities by letting in? Or is it only because the Republican governors cleverly shipped their people to the blue cities and thwarted their plan? I don't know what's going on. To me it doesn't look like a clever plan. I don't see the clever way that the Democrats are using immigration as a secret tool to accomplish their — what do they really think they're going to get? Extra votes? I don't think so.

I think that these immigrants are being shipped into cities where they're being shipped into the filth and crime that they were trying to escape. And they're probably saying to themselves the same thing everybody else is. What can we do about this? Because I would like less crime and filth in my own city where I'm living for seven years at least. And they're probably going to say, is there anybody who's offering to take care of it? You know, like a Republican, for example. I don't know. I would definitely vote. I would bet against immigration turning the country more liberal.

Do you think — let me do a mental test for you. Imagine a busload. The cartels got a busload of immigrants, and they've been taken from everywhere from China to Africa to Eastern Europe or something. So they're all over the place. If you were to do a survey of the attitudes or philosophies of the people on that bus, how many are conservative and how many are liberal on the generic immigrant bus? Remember, people, they're not French. They're not British. They're not Australian. They're not woke. My guess is they're bringing busloads of unwoke people into the country. Now that doesn't mean that they register as a Republican, but I think from a social perspective they're bringing in way more conservative people than their own base. Am I wrong?

Given that it's the specific collection of people from all over the world, do you think the Africans are liberal? You think Africans are liberal? I mean in some senses, of course. Certainly racially they would be. At least they wouldn't want discrimination against themselves. Well, I don't know. So I don't understand why the border is open, because I don't see the play. It doesn't look like simple incompetence. It looks like a plan. But the only way it makes sense to me is if China or one of our adversaries has bribed the president to go easy on the border. I mean, to me it looks like there's some outside force, because there's nothing in the news that would explain what we're seeing. It would have to be an external force, or it could be an internal force but one that's not reported or we don't see. It's invisible somehow. There's some outside force that causes the Biden administration — which means Biden himself. Would you agree that Biden himself is the person in charge of whether it's open or closed? That doesn't stop anywhere else, right? Now of course you delegate stuff, but in terms of on paper, he's the one in charge of the border. Not Kamala. All right.

So that was kind of a shocker to find that RFK Jr. is not only a close-the-border Democrat, he's more close the border than any Republican I've ever seen. He is more close the border than any Republican I've ever seen, because he's got better reasons. He's coming at it with facts. He did his own research. He went there himself. He interviewed busloads of people individually. He actually understands the whole situation.

And if you want me to finish this conversation, it goes like this. The cartels, when families come through, they remove the young and attractive traffickable women, and then they send the rest of the family on their way. That's right. They'll take your sister and your wife, turn them into prostitutes, and send you on your way to America. Now RFK Jr. explains that this is a well-known, understood phenomenon. And you talk to families that had a member taken away to be trafficked. And trafficked, by the way, would be the good news. That would be the best outcome. The bad news is raped to death right there while you're 100 yards away. So that's what's happening on our border. And that's what the Biden administration and Biden himself is specifically allowing, because they're quite aware of it, but they're allowing it.

Here's the second big change. RFK Jr. says that when he talks about the environment, he rarely talks about climate and climate change risk. Do you know what reason he gave for why he doesn't talk about climate change risk but rather he tries to talk about the things where everybody would agree, which is better water, better air, and moving toward energy that's less polluting in general? Do you know why he says he's not talking climate change risk? Doesn't believe scientists and doesn't believe the models. Thank you.

You know how long have people been telling me, Scott, why do you keep saying that RFK Jr. says some good things that you like when you know he's like a climate change crazy guy and he's always been a climate change crazy guy? Well, I could not believe that everything else RFK Jr. said about the experts didn't apply to climate scientists. Right? Because he's not coming across as a partisan. He is coming across, right or wrong — like maybe some of his ideas are terrific, maybe some of them are terrible. I don't know. I'm not the one really to judge them all. But I know he's not being partisan. I know he's not just playing for a team. And his skepticism about scientists who were paid for their opinions basically, his skepticism does apply to climate change models exactly as you think it should have. Am I wrong?

Isn't everything that RFK Jr. has said about pharma, big food, big companies polluting, the CIA — isn't everything he says consistent with not believing the scientific climate change models? It is. That is 100 percent consistent. He's telling you the entire system is corrupt, and so he doesn't believe any of the corrupt parts. That's pretty good.

Now somebody said to me, but Scott, he said he wants to get rid of coal and oil. Do you think that's true? Do you think it's true that RFK wants to get rid of coal and oil? The answer is incomplete. Incomplete. Yes, he does. Yes, he does want to get rid of them. Do you know what he wants to do to get rid of them? Let the free market get rid of them. That's right. He wants the free market to properly price all of our energy components so that one of them is not accidentally subsidized for no good purpose other than the profits that they use to get subsidized.

Now I don't know if that's a good idea. Sounds like it might be. I mean it's very much could be. I just don't know if the free market is as efficient as you'd like it to be or if we could get it there. But do you hate the fact that he's anti-coal and anti-oil in only the sense that it needs to compete fairly against the green energy? And if it wins, it wins. If it doesn't, it doesn't. And if it wins for a while and then doesn't, that's the free market. But he's not worried about the climate models and the risk of bills being killed. He wants to breathe and eat and go to the doctor without getting poisoned. That's it. That's pretty reasonable.

Now I'm not endorsing him. I'm just saying that when you see somebody enter the race in a nonpartisan fashion and look like they really show complete credibility in the way he talks about the issues — you don't have to agree with them, but he's definitely trying. He's trying to include the evidence that one side always likes to ignore in both cases. Now that doesn't make him your candidate, right? You may disagree with him on abortion or something else. But my God, he's doing a good job. And he's doing a great job for the country just helping us shape our arguments and how we think about this stuff. I mean a great job.

If the only thing RFK Jr. did was create this border documentary and inform us what's really going on — for the first time in my case, I think others might have known it — but that's a tremendous benefit to the country. That's pure good citizenship.

You know, I tell you, if Vivek is amazing every day — and again he's created some more videos where his take is the best one. He was talking about Taiwan. See if you don't think this is the cleanest take on Taiwan. I'm not saying it's the best because I'm not sure any solution is perfect. But he says that as long as Taiwan is our vital source of microchips and we're not really that close to replacing them, he said as long as that's true, China is not going to take Taiwan if he's president. Just period. It's just not going to happen. Whatever it takes, they're not going to take Taiwan under these circumstances.

But here's the nuance. He says once America recaptures its ability to do advanced microchips, he says that is a civil war. And then after that you have to recalibrate, because at that point we would not have a vital security interest. But until then he would float maybe destroyers or cruisers whatever through the straits to make sure that China knows that we're not going to give up our microchips. That's just not going to happen. Pretty good. Pretty good. I don't know if it's complete. It's pretty good. You know, for somebody whose message is let's take care of ourselves.

All right. I've got a troll on here that I feel like the good trolls take the summer off. Like it'll be till September until somebody really trolls me good. But I'm getting the all-caps trolls. I think the all-caps trolls are the ones who are even disregarded by other trolls. I think even other trolls have a hierarchy of trolling. It's like, ah, you're an all-caps troll, aren't you? I go for more of the emotional stuff. I'll try to find what somebody is saying politically, but then I'll go after them for whatever personal tragedy they had. Like that's a higher-end troll. But even they don't like the all-caps trolls. It's like you're making us look bad. You know, I just said something about his dead stepson and I think I nailed it, and then you made me look bad with your all-caps comment. Could you please take your all-caps to the lower league of trolling and not make us all look bad?

All right. Here's a question for you. Rasmussen did a poll. How many people do you believe who are likely voters believe that as a vice presidential running mate, Kamala Harris helps Biden's chances in 2024? How many think that she helps his chance? Oh yeah, that's a pretty good guess. Is 22 percent. But your guess of 25 was really close. Again, the smartest audience ever. And I did note that many of you had the answer before I asked the question. And you won't see that in the live streams, right? You watch another live stream, usually it's like somebody will ask a question and then they'll be the answer because that's the slower viewers. That's the way they do it. It's like I've got to wait for the question. Oh, here's the answer. So slow. So old. Now my viewers give the answer before the question, and that's the way to do it.

Here's an update on my book. You know I've got a new book, "Reframe Your Brain," because my publisher canceled me. The update is I am banned for life on Amazon KDP. Now that's the service that independent publishers use to put books on Amazon. So to make it available — now the reason for banning me for life is that I don't own my own book, they say. Now I do own my book. I own all the rights. I have all the documentation. I have the assignment documents which have been provided to them from the start. So from the start they had the document showing my ownership. But when we say what's wrong with my documents showing my ownership, they say well we'll have to study this and get back to you. And then they study it and they say you're still banned for life. And then I say yeah but like why? Is there somebody you think owns it? Or do you think that I'm not me? And they say banned for life confirmed. We'll get we'll five days we'll get a look at it again.

Now it took me a while because these were email exchanges with the support. It took me a while to realize I'm talking to an AI. I'm pretty sure the responses didn't have any tells for a human. Now they were signed by a human name, so several of the messages had different names. There's Christopher and there's somebody else. But the message — and two of them came back identical, right? So I know they weren't reading the message. Now I made sure that I wrote my message in a way, the last one, that it would be impossible to ignore what I said and simply say some canned response. But I got a canned response. So it would have been impossible for a human to ignore what I said. So I don't have any way to even figure it out. So we're going to look for alternatives and we'll see if we can solve it.

Now before you go all conspiracy theory, there's no indication it's anything but maybe a system problem. Probably if I had to guess it's because my old publisher had some placeholders online for the future book and maybe those are confusing the system. It's probably some AI system that checks content to make sure you own it. Now it is not a conspiracy theory. Don't think this is part of cancellation. Now it is true that I was canceled in newspapers primarily because the Washington Post I think was the leading entity that canceled me, and then the other newspapers said oh if the Washington Post does it we all have to do it. So the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, who's a notable Democrat. And he also owns Amazon, which just banned me for life. So the two Jeff Bezos properties have banned me for life to make it impossible to be a public figure and earn a living. But we're still going to call that a coincidence.

All right. Now here because the problem is he owns so many things that the odds of running into him are pretty high, right? The odds of running into a Bezos something is pretty high. So it doesn't mean that he's behind anything. However, if I were him I'd be deeply embarrassed. Imagine being the guy who owns Amazon, which is basically a bastion of free speech. In my opinion Amazon's one of the greatest companies ever created. Amazon is more than just a company. It's amazing. They do such a good job at Amazon, the software and the technology, that you forget how many mistakes somebody could make with this business. The fact that they operate so well — I mean it's not perfect, but they operate so well in an amazingly complex environment. It's just jaw-dropping every time I see it. So I think Amazon is one of the greatest companies of all time. I mean that's not saying anything shocking. So great company.

And I don't think Jeff Bezos is sitting around worrying about what Scott does. So I think it would be highly unlikely that he had made some personal decisions in any way. But if I were him I'd be pretty embarrassed if two of my major properties had banned me for life. So that's where we are. Well, I'm working with Joshua Lisec. We'll work out the business options. We do apparently have some options. So it's not like they'll be banned and never be able to put the book out. It'll be available somewhere, probably in the next week or two. Probably the hardcover so far has not been stopped because it's going to come through a different path. But they might stop it. That would be consistent. So that's the update on that.

All right. Mike Sirovich's warning of genocide. He says that the situation in the United States is fitting a pattern of polarization and demonization. And there's a pretty well-known pattern that gets you to genocide. Dehumanization by the media, debanking — we see that — and then you'll see prosecutions that you think are. So every one of those things is happening right now in the United States. Does that mean we're going to have a full breakdown of civilization and people will be killing people in the streets? I don't think so. I actually don't. I just don't feel it. I don't feel it in the zeitgeist at all. I don't feel it outside of social media. And social media doesn't have arms and legs. So I don't know. I don't feel it at all. But you know I don't spend a lot of time around people. So do you? Do you feel in your real life, in your real life, is anybody cleaning their guns and getting ready to go to war? When you say you feel it, but do you feel it in your daily life? Forget about social media. In your daily life, you feel like there's a civil war coming? I don't see anything like that.

A lot of people say yes, by the way. But my opinion is that you may be biased by social media to see it. Although some of you probably have family members who are so spoiled even your own family looks like a civil war at this point.

So I'm going to be counter to that. But I think he makes a warning that you should pay attention to, which is this stuff can get out of hand really quickly. So where he and I will agree completely: two places. All the signs are there. I agree with that. If you go down the list, all the signs are there. And number two, it can happen quickly. So you can say to yourself yeah yeah it's got the signs are there but we'd have lots of warning before it got that bad. No, no you wouldn't. That's really important to know. You wouldn't have a lot of warning because you have a lot of warning right now. So if you're telling yourself we'd have lots of warning to correct this, this is the warning. Where's the correction? You're warned. You couldn't be warned any clearer than this.

But as somebody else pointed out, what's it mean when the country is heavily armed? And the answer is we're going to stay solid because we're too heavily armed. And the arming gives you a little confidence and you can make the political system do what you want eventually. So I think we'll be fine. It could get worse before it gets better, but I don't think we're going to full genocide.

Trump apparently — they want to get a Trump mug shot, but there's some possibility they could make that go away because it's not necessary for the most famous face in the world. The reason you do mug shots, I'm told, is in case somebody tries to escape the law, you've got a picture of them for later. But if you're the most famous face in the world, do you really need a mug shot? Where is it going to hide?

But this gives me the question. Let's say maybe he won't do it, but if he does do it, the biggest question I have is does he go for the smile or the power stare? Right? Because you see this smile when he poses for pictures. His smile isn't his best look. I mean it's good that he can smile, but he has sort of a smile-for-the-cameras look that's not ideal. You know what I mean? The I'm-smiling-because-I'm-on-camera look. That's not your best smile. But you do what you can. If you're a politician, you gotta show the teeth, right?

But he has a power stare that's killer, wouldn't you say? The power stare. I don't know if I can do it, but it builds something like this. The dad's-coming-home stare. The one I want to see is the dad-coming-home stare. The one that says just wait. Just wait. That's the one I want to see. And as Sticks and Hammer said, it's going to be the most memed image of all time. Nothing will be more memed than his mug shot. So I say do the mug shot. Do the mug shot. His base is waiting. We're all waiting at their computers. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.

All right. Trump does a video in which he's claiming the election was rigged, and he's calling the people who did it riggers. How long did it take for somebody in social media to say riggers? Wait a minute, is this another one of those racist things he's saying without saying it? Is this racist Mafia talk? Does he really mean the n-word but he's using the r-word to try to beat it in some kind of a clever workaround? No. Do you think he's calling people who do elections the n-word? No. But do you think it ever crossed his mind that it would make a lot of trouble if he used the word? Maybe. Which would be freaking hilarious. It would be hilarious. So riggers, please.

Anyway, in my opinion reality is already starting to bend, right? The reality that we're told is reality is that the election was clean. And the way that you know the election was clean is that they didn't find any problems. And half of the country thinks that makes sense. All right, let me say it again so we can laugh at half of the country. Half of the country will say this on social media in public like they think it makes sense and that you're done for not understanding. Here's what they say. The elections were definitely clean because there's no publicly known information that would refute that. It's 2023, and people will say that in public and they'll think well this is a smart take. The smart take is that they didn't find any problems, so therefore it's clean.

Now I don't need to even say anything about that, do I? Imagine that. Stop it. Stop it. I'm not even going to read that comment. Stop it. Just stop it. All right, I'll tell you about it later. I'll tell you about it during the man cave. It was too inappropriate for public, but it was funny. All right, let's not insult anybody if we don't need to unless they have it coming.

So I lost my train of thought. That was just too funny. All right, train of thought back online. Stop it. Stop it. You're terrible. Stop it. So here's what I think. I can almost feel the simulation changing now. Of course this is just a mental phenomenon. I'm not saying we're necessarily in the simulation, but it seems like it. And here's what the simulation requires. It requires Trump to be in the greatest legal jeopardy, whatever that looks like. Looks like we're approaching it. The greatest legal jeopardy. And it should be about his claims that the election was fake. And then in the nick of time there's going to be a discovery that the election was actually fraudulent.

Now I do not have any evidence that I think is credible of fraud. I do have credible people saying if you look online there are people who are credible to me who are saying that they found things. And this is the new Kraken. But I'm too primed not to accept a new Kraken. Is anybody with me on that? Yeah, I've been slapped so hard that I'm not going to endorse any Krakens even if they look good on paper. Because remember a lot of the claims looked really good on paper, didn't they? And I warned you from the beginning that even if something is fraudulent, which I didn't know, that there will be 95 percent of the claims would be debunked and properly debunked. And that's what we saw. So far 100 percent debunked. That's the official story. But do you think that means they don't exist?

I guess I went through that before. But it feels to me like the reality, the simulation, the zeitgeist, every part of my body thinks he's going to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Why do I feel that? I feel it like it's already happened. I feel it like a fact in the future. But I have no evidence for it. No evidence whatsoever. There's nothing I see, nothing that tells me that's going to happen except it just feels like it. It just freaking feels like it. And I feel like this feels like a thing is more meaningful than it sounds. You know, if it were nothing but a feeling. But man, it feels like that. Just there's too much going on that the frothiness of the topic, you can just feel it. And I would actually be surprised at this point if he doesn't have a third act that shows there was at least some meaningful fraud and at least one important place. And if it turns out to be Georgia, oh my God. Oh my God.

Now I have no reason to believe it would be. No reason at all. But I feel it. I feel it.

Well, of course Alan Dershowitz has weighed in on the Trump charges. He largely thinks that they're a political joke. And I love reading the Democrats who are giving me a hard time online because they're quite sure that with this many indictments — oh my God, so many indictments. I think there's ten thousand now, right? Ten thousand indictments or something. Ten or 13 or 72 or some number. So therefore he's clearly a criminal. That's been proven by the indictments. But of course indictments are easy to get. Doesn't mean anybody is guilty.

And Dershowitz basically thinks the charges are political and ridiculous and will, no matter what happens in the lower courts, the Supreme Court will laugh at them and toss them out. And that's his prediction. Now if you're a Democrat and you're not one of the top lawyers of all time, don't you feel a little silly saying that the walls are closing in, they got him this time? As long as Dershowitz is over here saying no, I'm predicting this will all go away. It would affect the elections of course, but in the end it's all transparently obviously weak and political and the Supreme Court will just wipe it away like what's from their eye. Terrible analogy.

So he also points out that RICO — and of course Dershowitz has been everywhere that's important in the law, so he's like personal friends with the one who invented the RICO statutes. He knows everything about RICO, right? And he says it wasn't meant for political people doing political stuff. I mean it was meant for other purposes. It's been repurposed from Mafia to some other things, but it made sense when they repurposed it. He doesn't think this application of RICO is going to stand the full test to the Supreme Court.

Dershowitz points out — and I haven't heard this anywhere else — that the D.A. in this case lied in public. No, she lied and everybody else knows she lied. It's basically going to be a test or a trial about somebody lying. But anyway, the D.A. said they're trying to wrap it up in six months. And Dershowitz just laughs at that because the other thing she said is that she's going to try all the many defendants sort of simultaneously. And Dershowitz points out with that many defendants you could have 50 lawyers in the room just for the defendants. Let's say they have two apiece. And 50 lawyers dealing with every motion. So somebody could say something like I'd like to move the venue, and then somebody else could say I like this venue, and all 50 of them would have to hammer it out. So that you have a process that not only can't be done in six months but it's really, really, really obvious that the D.A. was lying because nothing could be done. Nothing of that complexity could be done in six months under those conditions. It just can't happen. It's undoable.

And our — is it the prosecutor? It was the judge? I think it was the judge. No, the D.A. Oh, I'm being a manufactured. It was the D.A., not the judge. Thank you. Thank you. D.A., not the judge. That's an important correction. So the D.A. who said it would be six months, not the judge. All right, thank you for that. That's the beauty of the live format. I love being fact-checked in real time. I think that really helps.

All right. So the biggest one of the biggest keys to the Trump charges are that perfect phone call, as he says. Do you remember how many times you've seen that we need to find 11,780 votes? You've seen that in the headlines. You've seen it from pundits. You've seen it on the news, right? So that's all true because it's on the news. It's quoted. And you've probably even seen or you've probably even heard audio of him saying it. Have you not?

Well, I found out today that this was always a Rupar. And I didn't know it. Now if you're new to me, a Rupar — Rupar refers to a video, but it could apply to audio as well, in which you delete part of it. And here's the weird characteristic of a Rupar. Deleting part of it reverses its meaning. Reverses it. It doesn't just take a nuance away. It actually reverses it, right?

So for example, some Rupars were the fine people hoax. If you take away the part where he says immediately after he said fine people, he said I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis, they should be condemned completely. If we remove that, which they did, it reverses the meaning from disavowing Nazis, which he said explicitly, to complementing them and supporting Nazis. It's a complete reversal by removing one part.

Likewise with the drinking bleach hoax. When they remove the part before he talks about it and immediately after. Those are the two clarifications. The clarifications were that he was talking about light being brought into the lungs, literally putting a stent down there or something and shining light on the lungs as a possible disinfectant. The news removed the reference of light on both ends. And he made sure he put it on both ends so you wouldn't be confused. So they removed it and reported it, and that changed it to he wants you to drink bleach. Now drinking bleach is not even similar in any way to shining light down your lungs.

Now I'm watching some people who are finding this out for the first time. Imagine you're watching this live stream right now and you're hearing this for the first time. And I just saw somebody go LOL. Sorry, this is really mind-bending if you haven't heard it before.

Here's another one. The overfeeding the koi, the fish in Japan. So the real video showed Trump with President Abe, and the two of them were feeding koi fish by throwing some bread or whatever in. And then when they were done, Abe went first by dumping the rest of his fish food in because he was done. And then Trump also dumped his in because he was following the leader. Literally when you cut out the part where Abe went first, the news showed that Trump was a big old dope. Instead of feeding the fish like a little at a time, he just dumped his fish food. And that's a Rupar.

You remember the Covington kids video. It looked like the teenager was getting in the face of some Native American. Oh my God, that kid fooled me. Fooled me for 24 hours. But it's because they clipped out the part where it was the Native American guy who was actually getting in the face of the kid. It looked opposite if you take that out. So the Rupar — remember that the Rupar doesn't just change a detail. It completely changes the story to an opposite or something that's horrible in the opposite direction, right?

So in the drinking bleach hoax, Trump was actually ahead of the scientists because he was aware of a trial that was actually being trialed at that time to see if light would work as a disinfectant in the trachea, in the lungs. So he knew something the scientists above. And the news reversed it to not only did he not know more about that one little thing, but that he was so dumb he thinks you should drink bleach. Now half of the country actually believed all of those things and still does. Half of the country believes all of those things because a Rupar video is really persuasive. It's really persuasive.

So it turns out that this find the 11,780 votes was just another Rupar. And I didn't find that out until today. Is the day I found that out. Can you believe it? Now I'll explain it to you because you might not be aware of it. I know for example Breitbart did report this when it happened, but I think we lost it. If you ever knew it you probably forgot it by now. I did.

Here's his actual full statement. So this is on audio. We know this is his full statement. So look, all I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is more than we have because we won the state. Which part did they take out? Because we won the state. If you take out because we won the state, which is a very clear statement that he believes that they're trying to take an illegitimate result, look at it more closely and come up with a legitimate vote because he thinks he won. What part do they leave out every time? Because we won the state.

What is the entire trial about? His state of mind. Did he really believe he won the state or not? Now this alone would not be evidence of his state of mind because they could just say he was lying. But it is evidence, not conclusive, but it's more evidence of exculpatory. Am I using that word right? It's evidence that we should have been given to the public and certainly the court. But we should have been given this evidence from the beginning because this is the part that gives you context to explain what you're saying.

Imagine you heard only this. I just want you to find 11,780 votes. Does that sound like Mafia talk? Yeah, a little bit. A little bit, doesn't it? Sounds a little bit like Mafia talk. It's not guaranteed it's Mafia talk, but you could easily imagine it, right? You could imagine it. Now you add because we won the state. Is that what the Mafia guy says? Does the Mafia boss say I'd like you to go get that thing that we legally own? Hey, I'd like you to go to the store and get me some products. All right, I'm gonna steal some products for you. No, no. Here's the money. Take the money, go to the store, pay for the products, bring them to me and the change too. Yes, the change too. Go to the store, pay for the products, put them in a bag, get a receipt, bring it to me.

That's what they're accusing him of. They're accusing him of asking for something he is specifically calling out as legal. That's the Mafia talk. He might go to jail because of a Rupar audio which basically has biased the entire world so that by the time you reach the jury pool you're so polluted that it wouldn't matter what you heard at that point. Yeah, it goes to his intention. And his intention is completely different if he says I think I won. Can you find the evidence of that by looking more carefully? Completely different.

Are you using an analogy? No, I'm using several different stories. The Mafia analogy, is that an analogy? Let me tell you the right way to use an analogy and the wrong way. The wrong way to use an analogy is that that's your argument. Right now hold on. People think I'm busted. I'm not. I've always said the same. Analogy is a good way to introduce a concept. It's not how you win an argument. So I think I said very clearly that the argument is that he said he believes he won the state. So that's the argument. So the argument doesn't need the analogy. The analogy is in case you didn't catch the argument. It's like another way to bring you into the argument. It's not the argument, right? So I'm not winning any arguments by an analogy. I'm using them to further clarify a situation. That is a proper use. The improper use is to say it reminds me of something and therefore. That's not a proper use.

All right. But look how much you learned today.

So let me run something by you. Can you imagine Trump giving some kind of a speech or national address or something as he's running for office in which he simply lays out how the gears of the machine work? He simply lays out how the Biden crime family does their work. Even if the end result is there's no criminal liability, just lay it out. In case you didn't know, this is how that's done. Then move on to the media and say all right, here's some things. And he could even use the Peter Zeihan explanation that they don't collect real news. They're really an opinion manufacturing entity. Just sort of describe that world. People say yeah that's probably true. And just describe some of the other worlds such as how did the Russia collusion hoax. So could you imagine Trump running through each of the hoaxes, including — and this would make you happy — pandemic-related hoaxes or bad behavior, let's say. Imagine him laying out all of the parts and saying and why did this happen? Well, follow the money. Here's how this happened. Why did this happen? Follow the money. You can see the gears of the machine.

So imagine him — it doesn't have to be Trump, but imagine somebody just laying out how everything works. Because remember Dave Chappelle actually gave him credit once for doing exactly that when Trump said the system is rigged. And the reason he knows the whole political system is rigged and the reason he knows is that he's part of the rigging. As a citizen he was donating to things and using the system. So even Chappelle said at least he told you honestly. You know that that's worth something. He actually told you to your face how this system works. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of that. Would you? A little more of that, please.

Yeah, but he's got to find — I think he also probably has to find election rigging. He has to kind of prove it now. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't Trump — didn't he say on someday soon he's going to do a big election speech on Monday, right? So on Monday he's going to present I guess the information. Now do you expect that the information he presents is going to hold up to scrutiny? Because I imagine it's more than one claim, right? I assume he's going to give you several claims. If he gave you one claim, like one really good claim, I would say his odds of being right are much higher than if he gives you five. If he gives you five it's going to look like laundry list persuasion. As in well none of these are proven but look how many there are. You know, where there's smoke there must be fire sort of thing. That would be persuasion. If he gives you one he might have the goods. So that's the first thing you look for. Look for the one that just wins the day because maybe there is one. Who knows? I don't know.

If he gives you the one that's really strong and then can't help himself and he's got to mention all the other ones that are not as strong, that's a waste of time. That's just going to — all that will happen is the news will debunk the weak ones. They will ignore the strong one. Am I right? You all know it. They will ignore the strong one. They'll debunk the weak ones and they'll tell you that they're done and they're all debunked, right?

Now Trump could also explain that because that's how the gears of the machine work. Imagine you're giving the speech and saying all right, now here's how the gears of the machine work. I've given you five examples. One of them I believe is really solid. Watch the news coverage tomorrow. They're only going to talk about the other ones which even I tell you need more investigation. These are not guaranteed. These are just red flags. But watch how they treat the red flags as the one they debunk if they can and they ignore my strong one. Now he won't do that, but you know you can imagine he could.

Well, that's going to be must-watch TV. Do you think there's anything that would stop you from watching Trump's try to pull off the third act? Because that's the third act. If he pulls it off, that's the third act. I wouldn't put a big bet on it because I don't know. It'll be as clean as he gives a speech and that's his third act and everything changes. I doubt that because the media will just try to eviscerate him no matter what he says. But it could be. Then maybe he starts a spark of something that maybe somebody later can prove is real. We'll see. I wouldn't expect any major change on Monday, but it's so — I mean I'm so interested.

You know what is it that after all of these fake claims — fake meaning unproven — after all the times that he got his hopes up, do you think that this is the time of all times? Is this the time he would come forth with okay, we finally got the goods? This would be the time unless you really have it. I mean it would be a hell of a gutsy play if he didn't have the goods. But you know it's possible he could think he has them and doesn't. You never know.

All right. So YouTube, the new rules are that they can ban you for content that disagrees with the World Health Organization or local health officials like the CDC. Michael Shellenberger is pointing out that it will censor you if you disagree with the World Health Organization. Think about that. Do you realize that I would have been censored? So when the World Health Organization first said some stuff about masks and I tried to debunk them, I would have been banned on YouTube. Amazing.

All right. But then Michael Shellenberger says YouTube isn't a social media platform, it's a propaganda platform. And I said to myself, huh, I kind of like that framing. Because by my count — your count might be different — but by my count there's only one social media platform and the rest are propaganda platforms. They're advertising and propaganda. But there's one that's actually social media. That's X. X is at least trying to be a social media platform. The other ones are just essentially propaganda platforms that suck money out of your pockets and sell the advertisers.

All right. Yeah, you don't tweet anymore. You exclaim. Or you post. Post is the most boring word for it, but I guess that's where we're going with it.

All right, ladies and gentlemen. More to Elon Musk's point. If you looked at me a year ago and you said how do you prepare for this live stream, I would say I read the news and I collect the news and then I talk about it with my own opinions. But lately I've realized that I've done the show without ever checking the news because I checked social media, which picks out pieces from the news and often refers to the actual news source. But that's the only way this seems to make sense. Do you know why?

If you go to CNN and you see a story, you're going to see the CNN spin of the story. Is that useful? It's worse than negative. It's worse than nothing. It would be better if you'd never seen it because it's a spin. It's opposite of news. It's a sort of managed news. If you go to Fox News, are you ever going to see them agreeing with CNN? No, you know they have their own spin on things. So if you see either news, you've got to go to both sources and make sure you've cross-checked your work, which I do all the time. I show you that I like to see something's true on both platforms before I'm sure it's true. If only one platform says it's true, well I don't know, probably not, maybe.

However, I've noticed lately I can spend all of my time on Twitter because if there's a story that makes my hair on fire like ah, did somebody really do or say that, there'll be a community note or there'll be another human saying no, this is out of context. You know this is what they left out. Here's a link to the opposite story. So when I read Twitter I get the news from both directions. When I read any other so-called news platforms I have to go to at least two sources so I've seen both sides. But Twitter has it there automatically.

You know that you can always count on the trolls to come in and give you as much trouble as possible. The trolls actually are kind of useful because even when they don't say factual arguments, they give you a sense of how people are feeling. They give you a sense of how basically how brainwashed they are. When you see the trolls — let's say the trolls were not just saying a bad thing, they're trying to argue that politics — you should feel sorry for them because the trolls are the most hypnotized, brainwashed people. They're not coming at you with their better arguments. They're coming at you with TDS. So you can see the effects of brainwashing best on the trolls. So you don't want to get rid of the trolls. They're like this little indicator of how bad the brainwashing is because the more brainwashing, more trolls.

All right. The trolls are the ones who say it was an insurrection. Yeah. So if you didn't know from the trolls that they actually believed there was an insurrection on January 6 or an attempted one, you would not necessarily think that's even a thing. Like your brain would say well nobody's going to believe the Republicans do an insurrection without weapons. And then what have you gone down the January 6 well.

So each of the arguments that are fake narrative arguments, they all have what I call the well. So it goes like this. Let's see if I can roughly do it without preparing. January 6 was an armed insurrection. And then I come in and say there's no such thing as Republicans doing an armed insurrection without firearms. But it was violent. All right, so you're going nothing. Well, all right, all right. So yeah they didn't all have weapons but a lot of people had weapons. Okay, but nobody actually brandished a gun, right? But they had guns. All those guns were taken away from them. They had guns. They had bear spray. They beat people with objects. Right, right, right. But what percentage of those people were involved in that? Well there's a lot of violence. There was a lot of violence here. Here's all the examples of all. I know, I know. But with all the people there, what percentage of them were actually doing something violent? Well you know people got killed. Right, right, right. Ashley Babbitt got killed and some of the police officers died soon after and that's very tragic and may have been in large part because of it. Tragic or so.

You can just keep going down the well. But ultimately they have to believe that Republicans try to conquer the country by trespassing in a building. You take the trolls all the way down to but ultimately what you believe is that weapons or not, violence or not, that the plan for conquering the country was to wander around in the building. What do they say after you get to the bottom of the well and say but explain how the rest of their plan went. So you trespass and then you get the nuclear codes and who delivers them? Does the guy who carries the football actually knock on the door and say it looks like we have new leadership, you trespassers. Which one of you, a guy with a vice on the hat? I got the nuclear. How can you connect the dots? Okay, just tell me how the plan was going to work. It's this way out.

When you get to the bottom of the well and you get to that point, what does the troll say? Remember they're deeply hypnotized. These are not people operating under reason. They are literally — and I'm not saying this for political points or anything — they're actually brainwashed. Actually literally brainwashed. What do they do? Well in my experience they say something like well why'd your wife leave you? That's what I get. Or I get why is your stepson dead? That's what I get. Yeah. When you get to the bottom of the well it's pretty dark down there, right?

So if you don't have the stones to go to the bottom of the well five times a day, you need to stay off Twitter. I spend a lot of time in the bottom of the well.

All right, that's all I got for today. Thanks for watching. YouTube, it's the best show you've ever seen or ever will see. Until tomorrow. Bye.

Papa good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization sometimes with proper lighting there we go just right if you'd like to take this experience which is going to be amazing just by itself but if you want to take this to levels that nobody's ever understood or heard or it could even speak of there's no words to explain it all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker tells us either canteen jug of flaska 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 thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go ah you did that well I think that was your best SIP good job well I don't know where to begin there's so many weird and interesting stories today that I didn't even get to check the news and I'll talk about that the news without the news all right well I like to start with interesting stories before we get to the big meet but so there's a tour group that gives tours of San Francisco how would you like to be a tour group or how would you like to be a business whose job it was to give tours of San Francisco well apparently they're capitalizing on the situation and they're now giving a tour that they call the Doom Loop walking tour and it's a tongue-in-cheek ad but it says uh you've read the headlines you've seen the tweets now get close and personal to the doom and squalor of downtown San Francisco oh just discover the policy choices that made America's wealthiest city the nation's Innovative leader of housing crisis addiction so apparently here's the funny part the tours are booked they're fully booked there's all these people who want to see the Doom Loop of a city in complete disarray and decline now if there's one thing I love about America there's more than one thing but one thing I love about America is that we've never heard of a problem we can't make money on you name it if something's going wrong there's one of us bastards who's figuring out how to make a buck on it and I'm sure that that's what keeps the entire system working is that the dumbest most unproductive things in the world can be going on and somebody's going to be sitting off you know just off the sideline saying I think I can make this work I think I can build a business model around this free market for the win speaking of the free market Elon Musk tweeted uh that he actually put newspapers in quote he goes newspapers just search the internet particularly this platform and print it out wow you know there used to be a good reason to read newspapers does anybody remember when newspapers had a comic called what was it called it was called Dilbert Dilbert it used to be in these paper things called newspapers and they would be sent to people like physically to their homes and stuff and then they would try to read them and they would get like their hands would be filled with all kind of weird ink and crap and after you read it you couldn't talk you couldn't touch your food do you ever try to read a newspaper and eat toast at the same time no you can't do it because your your toast is going to taste like newspaper ink right I might have a bad attitude about newspapers at the moment I might have a little bias a little bit the the funniest question I get from trolls online is that the trolls like to come into my tweets and say something about how sad I must be that I got canceled by newspapers um who would want to be associated with newspapers can you raise your hand is there anybody here who have ever gone on a date and lied that you worked on the newspaper business try to impress your date it's like I don't want her to hear that I'm a quality assurance person at a big Corporation I'm going to make up a some kind of sexy job astronaut no no she'd catch me uh newspaper reporter newspaper writer yeah yeah because you'd like you'd like to feel good about yourself because you work for a newspaper um well I was also watching some You.

Tube clips from Peter Zayn my God that guy's interesting now I do not know if Peter Zan has you know amazingly good insights about everything geopolitical or not I mean I really can't tell what's true and what's not but I'll tell you his content is interesting from beginning to end so you know use your use your adult filters to you know put yourself in the head of nobody knows the future can we agree that nobody knows the future but he says interesting things I'm going to share a few with you and first of all I need a fact check on this because as Elon Musk says the newspapers but also the regular news they don't have regular news Gathering assets so they're trying to sell opinion as news so when actual news drops sometimes you can't find it anywhere because it's not opinion it's actual news but can you give me a confirmation I so I haven't seen this in any news so-called news that we're working on to deal with Iran and that is looking good have you heard that I can't even tell if it was a new video but why did why did I completely missed that in reading the news every single day several times a day and I never saw it well um I don't know why I guess it's because as Elon Musk says the newspapers are not real news and the regular news isn't real news and by the way that was another thing that Peter Zeon described he described the evolution from having robust news bureaus in other countries to what we have now which is uh people writing opinions and then other people writing opinions about the other people's opinions and we're selling it as news because it comes out on the Legacy platforms that you used to think were news so you it makes you think that news is happening but there hasn't been news in a long time and news went away a long time ago it's just opinions about opinions um so anyway the but if Peter Zan is correct um it would look like the broad Strokes of the deal would have something about the U.S having or the International Community the U.N having more access to checking out Iran's nuclear situation and apparently they're going to agree to that and one of the surprises is now this is from Peter Zan one of the surprises is when Iran recently was reinspected is that that uranium that they were processing up to nuclear grade they actually started going in the other direction they took half of what they had up to like 90 percent and half of it they've already downgraded it to is it enrichment is the right word so they've uh they've unenriched it if that's the thing so it's less likely to become a weapon so it's beginning to look like Iran either didn't need that much or maybe they weren't so dead set on building a nuclear weapon I guess part of the deal is they would allow more inspections uh they would give six billion dollars of their own money back or somebody else's money it wasn't our money but the the the background on this is that the Russian sanctions in an indirect way that he can explain but I can't at the moment in an indirect way it hurt Iran so Iran apparently is just dying for cash they're just broke and so Biden may have accidentally done more harm to Iran's economy than Trump did but not because he was trying but because he you know the Ukraine war had had a side impact on Iran which is pretty devastating so that made an opportunity for a deal because Iran was more desperate than they have been now this is Peter's Ann stake I don't know you know I'm not there so I don't have any counter claims to bounce against it but the idea is that Iran might be flexible about nuclear stuff and here's and if Zayn is right um Benjamin Netanyahu head of Israel says that they're they're looking at a deal that he can live with so there might actually be something going on that's entirely positive for everybody meaning that the Middle East would get back into some kind of balance I believe part of the deal is that Iran would stop funding attacks against Saudi Arabia and some of their neighbors so you would get fewer funding less funding of it of uh proxy attacks you get we'd get some prisoners back I guess some drug dealers were in prison uh they would give six billion dollars of their own or somebody else's money that they had been held up but it wasn't our money and then we would get access to their you know nuclear inspections now the fact that maybe Netanyahu could live with it now put two things together two things start with the uh Abraham Accords so the Abraham Accords got a lot of the players on the same team at least economically and on paper but Iran was specifically carved out as somebody you couldn't deal with at the moment but that caused the problem because Iran is a funder of proxy wars and you know they're the big problem over there so it looks like we're heading toward don't get too excited but yeah the chatter is a Saudi Arabia might be willing to recognize Israel which I think might be a separate conversation but I can easily see them folded together so Saudi Arabia might get relief from the proxy wars um is it the hutus and the whoever so that we're attacking Saudi and Saudi interests Yemen so so the Yemen thing might get some relief at least in the funding sense relief meaning they're not funded to attack anybody anymore and that would create the hope would be some balance in the Middle East sufficient that we don't need to be involved we the United States and that might be amazing we might be right on the cusp of two administrations doing the right thing in one case maybe a little bit accidentally but you know taking advantage of it we might be seeing something like a gigantic to administration because I think you'd have to include both two Administration achievement that would be kind of amazing kind of amazing the hutus are rwanda's okay I don't know my assume everything I said about that that area is wrong so it's the Yemen what are the two groups in Yemen the two warring groups in Yemen are the that the the who's and the who's I'm in the wrong continent yeah I only got the wrong continent but the hoodies all right well somebody's fighting over there anyway so that might be good we'll see but the other thing that Peter Zan said is that I hadn't heard this before that the primary reason for Russia's let's say aggressiveness against his neighbors and I'd never heard this before now you'd always heard that it was you know maybe defensive and maybe maybe he was building up his Empire to get it back to where it was but you know everything that you hear in the United States through the regular news about Russia and Russia's intentions and Putin's intentions that's all fake you know that right like anything about Putin's intentions that's all Faith propaganda right so you but Peter's Aion has a take and it goes like this and I don't know if I believe it so I feel like there's probably a lot more to it yeah you've heard it's about warm water ports here's his take that the Topography of Russia and the surrounding countries that are you know between it in Europe proper um the Topography is really um disadvantageous for defense meaning that if somebody were to attack Russia prior to Russia being aggressive and you know taking Crimea and Georgia and all those things there were some easy attack points that the homeland of Russia would be vulnerable to but in the old days under the Soviet Union they had controlled enough territory that they could control choke points so there are some choke points that if you control them militarily it would be very difficult for an army to attack Russia if you don't attack them apparently it's kind of easy on the ground now so the thinking is that even if Putin left tomorrow the the other senior people who were you know his people would have exactly the same policy because they all see us as an existential risk to Russia whether soon or in the next thousand years in other words they're looking for a permanent security situation for Russia now have you ever seen that reported in regular news I read a lot of news about Ukraine I've never seen that before have you how many of you have never heard that before other from Peter Zam so some of you have you know a lot of you have interesting all right well good for you you know I've said this a lot this is the I think the most informed and smartest audience in politics because you actually are engaged in trying to figure out how to figure out which is way more important than figuring out what the news said you know this is a group of people who are very actively trying to figure out how are they lying to us and if they are lying how can we figure it out and wanted to tell us for lying and stuff so well so I'm impressed I'm impressed that that's such a basic thing that you should need to know about the Ukraine war now here's the part that I'm going to disagree with Peter Zan he says that the war can't end unless one of them just has a convincing Victory and that you know that's unlikely so that if Ukraine doesn't have a right win and pretty much you know demolish Russia as a as a major power uh or or Putin somehow magically win if that doesn't happen the war will just go on forever but I but what I hear is the opposite what I hear if it's true that their primary interest is the choke points how could you not have a way to negotiate that that feels like the easiest thing to negotiate now that doesn't mean you necessarily say oh these choke points can belong to you but it definitely tells you that if you've got something called NATO don't expect them to give up on the choke points I mean you'd have to look at the whole situation right like how about the whole uh trade economic situation how about uh the entire Russia Russia China connection you'd want to loosen that and maybe maybe get Russia into the European or American domain a little bit more so to me the fact that we understand what the Russians want or at least I do maybe for the first time I understand that element that usually gives you something to negotiate that the times when you can't negotiate is when two sides want the same thing and there's only one of the same thing this is a situation where Russia wants something unique to Russia and other people want you know their own things like their own security Etc but they're different things and I would say as a general uh negotiation fact that when people want the same one thing you've got a problem okay you know that statue I own that no I own it where are you gonna go with that right you can't have half a statue but if you've got a situation where what the Russians need is a specific Geographic or defensive power there's probably a number of ways to get to that and it's Unique to them so in other words you don't have to give up something of your own too much necessarily to give them what they want and that that usually suggests a deal could be made so I still think he could all right RFK Jr said too the most surprising things you'll ever hear from a Democrat number one Trump was right he was wrong the wall is needed boom now when he says carefully I don't mean physically a wall the whole way but also Trump didn't really mean that either he means whatever whatever it takes to close the border he calls the Border completely open and he tells a story that's associated with his documentary he did he spends he spent a lot of time interviewing people there and I heard a story from him this was on Tucker's interview I heard a story from RFK Jr that I'd never heard apparently the we always do the cartels or managing the illegal flow of immigration we didn't know well I didn't know so again this might be something you already knew I didn't know that their operation the cartel operation had spread globally to the point where almost all of the immigrants are not from Central America or Mexico almost all of them are from Africa everywhere else China and he pointed out that the vast majority of the of them are military age men but he's not saying he's not saying it's a military operation he's just saying that's if you were to look at him that that would be the description the young men but they're coming from you know Africa they're coming from China they're coming from any place they can get out of now and apparently this system is built to look like we have a system but it's a fake system it's really designed to let everybody in and here's what that means if you come in the let's say the legal way where the government is you know checking your fingerprints and giving you a court date your court date is in seven years you have seven years to live in this country completely legally now you're not a citizen but you're you're completely legal because you've checked in do you think that in seven years they're going to be sent back do you think there's a court in America as seven years from now who's going to say well you've been living and working here for seven years and you've committed no crimes let's say do you think that we're going to send them back of course not no we do have an open border and even RFK Jr a Democrat says it clearly this is an open border and he's basically saying that the news has been kept from you not only has the news been kept from us but even from the right I would say that I have not seen any right-leaning publication and that might be on me I mean it probably is in Breitbart actually breitbart's good on the border so Breitbart probably has covered this but I haven't seen it on Fox news that 98 of the people coming in are not from Central and South America and uh Kamala Harris says that all worked out right so Cobble Harris is working on Central America and that's not even the problem that it doesn't look like incompetence does it would you agree that whatever is going on it doesn't look like incompetence it looks like some kind of a very determined effort to just let everybody in and it's hard for me to imagine what the positive outcome of that is because the cities are gone the cities are destroyed yeah are you telling me the Democrats were trying to destroy the Democrat cities by letting in or is it only because the Republican Governors you know cleverly shipped their people to the the blue cities and thwarted their plan I don't know what's going on like to to me it doesn't look like a clever plan like I I don't see the the clever way that the Democrats are using immigration as a as a secret tool to accomplish their what do they really think they're going to get extra votes I don't think so I I think that these immigrants are being shipped into cities where they're being shipped into you know the filth and crime that they were trying to escape and they're probably probably saying to themselves the same thing everybody else is what can we do about this because I would like less crime and filth in my own City where I'm living for seven years at least and they're probably going to say is there anybody who's offering to take care of it you know like a republican for example uh I don't know I would definitely vote I would bet against immigration turning the country uh more liberal do you think let me uh let me do a mental uh just a mental test for you imagine a bus load the cartels got a busload of immigrants and they've been taken from everywhere from China to Africa to I guess um you know Eastern Europe or something um so they're all over the place if you were to do a survey of the let's say attitudes or philosophies of the people on that bus how many are conservative and how many are liberal on the on the generic immigrant bus remember people they're not French they're not French they're not British they're not Australian they're not woke my guess is they're they're they're bringing busloads of unwoke people into the country now that doesn't mean that they you know register as a republican but I think from a social perspective they're bringing in way more conservative people than their own base am I wrong given that it's you know the specific collection of people from all over the world do you think the Africans are are liberal you think Africans are liberal I mean in some senses of course you know certainly racially they would be I mean at least at least at least they wouldn't want to discrimination against themselves well I don't know so I don't understand why the border is open because I don't see the play it doesn't look like simple incompetence it looks like a plan but the only way it makes sense to me is what's the only way it makes it there you go the only way it makes sense is if China or one of our adversaries is has bribed the president to go easy on the border I mean to me it looks like there's some outside force because there's nothing in the news that would explain what we're seeing it would have to be an external force or it could be an internal Force but one that's not reported or we don't see it's invisible somehow there's some outside force that causes the Biden Administration which means Biden himself would you agree that Biden himself is the person in charge of whether it's open or closed that doesn't stop anywhere else right now of course you delegate stuff well no but but in terms of on paper he's the one in charge of the Border not commonly all right so that was kind of a shocker to find that RFK Jr is not only a close the border Democrat he's more closed the Border than any Republican I've ever seen it is more close the border than any Republican I've ever seen because she's got better reasons he's coming at it with facts he did his own research he went there himself he interviewed busloads of people individually he actually understands the whole situation and if you want if you want me to finish this conversation it goes like this the cartels when families come through they remove the young and attractive traffickable women and then they send the rest of the family on their way that's right they'll take your sister and your wife turn them into prostitutes and send you on your way to America now RFK Jr explains that you know I mean this is a well-known understood phenomenon and you talk to families that had a member taken away to be trafficked and traffic by the way would be the good news that would be the best outcome the bad news is raped to death right right there while you're you know 100 yards away so that's what's happening on our border and that's what the Biden Administration and Biden himself is specifically allowing because they're you know quite aware of it but they're allowing it here's the big second big change RFK JR says that when he talks about uh the environment he rarely talks about climate and climate change risk do you know what reason he gave for why he doesn't talk about climate change risk but rather he tries to talk about the things where everybody would agree which is better water better air and moving toward energy this less polluting in general do you know why he says he's not talking climate change risk doesn't believe scientists and doesn't believe the model thank you you know how long how long have people been telling me Scott why do you keep saying that RFK JR says some good things that you like when you know he's like a climate change crazy guy and he's always been a climate change crazy guy well I could not believe that everything else RFK Jr said about the experts didn't apply to climate scientists right because he's not coming across as a partisan he is coming across right or wrong like maybe some of his ideas are terrific maybe some of them are terrible I don't know I'm not the one really to judge them all but I know he's not being partisan I know he's not just playing for a team and his skepticism about scientists who were you know paid for their opinions basically his skepticism does apply to climate change models exactly as you think it should have am I wrong isn't everything that RFK Jr has said about Pharma big food you know big companies polluting is it and you know the CIA I mean isn't everything he says consistent with not believing the uh the scientific climate change models it is that is 100 consistent he's telling you the entire system is corrupt and so he doesn't believe any of the corruptor parts that's pretty good now somebody said to me but Scott he said he wants to get rid of coal and oil do you think that's true do you think it's true the RFK wants to get rid of coal and oil the answer is incomplete incomplete yes he does yes he does want to get rid of him do you know what he wants to do to get rid of them let the free market get rid of them that's right he wants the free market to properly price all of our energy components so that one of them is not accidentally subsidized for no good purpose other than the profits that they use subsidized now I don't know if that's a good idea sounds like it might be I mean it's very much could be I just don't know if the free market is as efficient as you'd like it to be or if we could get it there but do you hate the fact that he's anti-coal and anti-oil in only the sense that it needs to compete fairly against the Green energy and if it wins it wins if it doesn't it doesn't and if it wins for a while and then doesn't that's the free market but he's not worried about the climate models and and the risk of bills being killed he wants to breathe and eat and go to the doctor without getting up by that's it that's pretty reasonable now I'm not you know I'm not endorsing him I'm just saying that when you see somebody enter the race in a non-partisan fashion and look at like really really show complete I would say complete credibility in the way he talks about the issues you don't have to agree with them but he's definitely trying he's trying to include the the evidence that one side always likes to ignore you know in both cases now that doesn't make him your candidate right you may disagree them on an abortion or something else but my God he's doing a good job and he's doing a great job for the country you know just helping us shape our arguments and how we think about this stuff I mean a great job if the only thing RFK Jr did was create this uh border documentary and inform us what's really going on for the first time in my case I think others might might have known it but that's a tremendous tremendous benefit to the country that's that's pure good citizenship now you know I I tell you if Vivek is amazing every day and again he's created some more videos where his take is the best one he was talking about Taiwan see if you don't think this is the cleanest take on Taiwan I'm not saying it's the best because I'm not sure any any solution is perfect but he says that as long as Taiwan uh is our Vital source of microchips and we're not really that close to replacing them he said as long as that's true China is not going to take Taiwan if he's president just period it's just not going to happen whatever it takes they're not going to take Taiwan under these circumstances but here's the nuance he says once America you know recaptures its ability to do Advanced microchips he says that is a civil war and then he after that you have to recalibrate because at that point we would not have a vital security interest but until then he would he would float you know maybe destroyers or Crews whatever through the Straits to make sure that China knows that we're not going to give up our microchips that's just not going to happen pretty good pretty good I don't know if it's complete it's pretty good you know for somebody whose message is let's take care of ourselves all right I I've got a troll on here that's I feel like the good trolls take the summer off like it'll be till September until somebody really trolls me good but I'm getting the uh the all caps trolls I think the all caps drills are the ones who who are even disregarded by other trolls I think even other trolls like have a hierarchy of trolling it's like ah urinal cap stroll aren't you I go for more of the emotional stuff I'll try to find what people's what somebody is saying politically I'll try to say what they're saying politically but then I'll go after them for whatever personal tragedy they had like that's a higher end troll but even they don't like the all caps trolls it's like you're making us look bad you know I just said something about his dead stepson and I think I nailed it and then you made me look bad with your all caps comment could you please take your all caps to the lower league of trolley and not make us all look bad all right here's a question for you Rasmussen uh did a poll uh how many people do you believe who are likely voters believe that as a vice presidential running mate kamales Harris helps Biden's chances in 2024.

how many think that it's that she helps his chance oh yeah that's a pretty good guess is 22 percent but your your guess of 25 was really close again I again the smartest audience ever and I did note that many of you had the answer before I asked the question and you won't see that in the live streams right you watch another live stream usually it's like somebody will ask a question and then they'll be the answer because that's the the slower viewers that's the way they do it's like I've got to wait for the question oh here's the answer so slow so old now my I my my viewers give the answer before the question and that's the way to do it uh here's an update on my book you know I've got a new book reframe your brain because my publisher canceled me the update is I am banned for life on Amazon KDP now that's the service that independent Publishers use to put books on Amazon so to make it available now the reason for Banning me for life is that I don't own my own book they say now I do own my book I own all the rights I have all the documentation I have the assignment documents which have been provided to them from the from the start so from the start they had the document showing my ownership but when we say what's wrong with my documents showing my ownership they say well we'll have to study this and get back to you and then they study it and they say you're still banned for life and then I say yeah but like why is there somebody you think owns it or do you think that I'm not me and they say banned for life confirmed we'll get we'll five days we'll get a look at it again now it took me a while because these were email email exchanges with the support it took me a while to realize I'm talking to an AI I'm pretty sure the the responses didn't have any tells for a human now they were signed by a human name so several of the messages had different names there's Christopher and there's somebody else but the message and two of them came back identical right so I know they weren't reading the message now I made sure that I wrote my message in a way the last one that it would be impossible to ignore what I said and simply say some canned response but I got a candid response so it would have been impossible for a human to ignore what I said so I don't have any way to even figure it out so we're going to look for Alternatives and we'll see if we can solve it now before you go all conspiracy theory there's no indication it's anything but maybe a system problem probably if I had to guess it's because my old publisher had some placeholders online for the future book and maybe those are confusing the system it's probably some AI system that checks content to make sure you check something to make sure you own it now it is not a conspiracy theory don't think this is part of cancellation now it is true that I was canceled in newspapers primarily because the Washington Post I think was the you know the leading entity that canceled me and then the other newspaper said oh if the Washington Post does it we all have to do it so the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos who's you know a notable Democrat um and he also owns Amazon which just Banned Me For Life so the two Jeff Bezos properties have banned me for life to make it impossible to you know be a public figure and earn a living but we're still we're going to still call that a coincidence all right now here because the problem is he owns he owns so many things that the odds of running into him are pretty high right the odds of running into a Bezos something is pretty high so it doesn't mean that he's behind anything uh however if I were him I'd be deeply embarrassed imagine being the guy who owns Amazon which is basically a you know a Bastion of free speech you know maybe uh in my opinion Amazon's one of the greatest companies ever created you know Amazon is more than just a company it's like it's amazing you know that they do such a good job at Amazon the software and the technology that you forget how many mistakes somebody could make with this business the the fact that they operate so well I mean it's not perfect but they operate so well in an amazing complex environment it's just jaw-dropping every time I see it so I think Amazon is one of the greatest companies of all time I mean that's not saying anything shocking so great company um and I don't think Jeff Bezos is sitting around worrying about what Scott does so I think it would be highly unlikely that he had made some personal decisions in any way but if I were him I'd be pretty embarrassed if my if two of my major properties had Banned Me For Life over so um so that's where we are well I'm working with Joshua lisac we'll work out the business options we do apparently we have some options so it's not like they'll be banned and never be able to put the book out it'll be available somewhere somewhere probably in the next week or two probably the hard cover so far has not been stopped because it's going to come through a different path but they might stop it that would be consistent so that's the update on that all right uh Mike sirovich's warning of genocide he says that the the situation in the United States is fitting a pattern of you know polarization and demonization and you know there's a pretty well known pattern that gets you to genocide um you know dehumanization uh let's say by the media debanking we see we're seeing that and then you'll prosecutions that you think are so every one of those things is happening right now in the United States does that mean we're going to have a full breakdown of civilization and people will be killing people in the streets I don't think so you know I actually don't I just don't feel it I don't feel it in the Zeitgeist at all I don't feel it outside of social media and social media doesn't have arms and legs so uh I don't know I don't feel at all but you know I don't spend around a lot of time around people so do you yeah do you feel in your real life in your real life is anybody like cleaning their guns and getting ready to go to war when you say you feel it but do you feel it in your daily life forget about social media forget about social media in your daily life you feel like there's a Civil War coming I don't see anything like that a lot of people say yes by the way but uh my opinion is that you may be biased by social media to see it but although although some of you probably have family members who are so who are so spoiled you even your own family looks like a Civil War at this point all right um so I'm going to be counter to that but I think he makes a warning that you should pay attention to which is this stuff can get out of hand really quickly so where he and I will agree completely two places all the signs are there I agree with that you know if you go down the list all the signs are there and number two um it can happen quickly so you can say to yourself yeah yeah it's got the signs are there but you know we'd have lots of a warning before it got that bad no no you wouldn't that that's really important to know you wouldn't have a lot of warning because you have a lot of warning right now so if you're telling yourself we'd have lots of warning to correct this is the warning where's the correction you're warned you couldn't be warned any clearer than this uh but as somebody else pointed out uh what's it mean when the country is heavily armed and the answer is we're going to stay solid because we're too heavily armed yeah and we're the arming gives you a little confidence and you can make you can make the political system do what you want eventually so I think we'll be fine it could get worse before it gets better but I don't think we're going to full genocide um Trump apparently there they want to get a trump mug shot but there's some I think there's some possibility they could make that go away because it's not necessary for the most famous face in the world the reason you do mug shots I'm told is in case somebody tries to escape the law you've got a picture of them for later but if you're the most famous face in the world do you really need a mug shot where is it going to hide um but this gives me the questions let's let's I think maybe he won't do it but if he does do it the biggest question I have is does he go for the smile or the powers there right because you see this smile when he poses for pictures his smile isn't his best look I mean it's good that he can smile but you know he has sort of a smile for the camera's look that's not ideal you know what I mean the I'm smiling because I'm on camera look that's not your best smile but you know you do what you can if you're a politician you you gotta you gotta show the teeth right uh but he has a Powers there that's killer wouldn't you say the power stair I don't know if I can do it but it builds something like this you know the the dad's coming home stare the one I want to see is the dad coming home stare the the one that says just wait just wait that's the one I want to see and as uh sticks and Hammer said it's going to be the most memed image of all time nothing will be more memed than his mug shot so I say do the mug shot do the mug shot his his base is waiting like we're all like they're waiting at their computers do it do it do it do it all right uh Trump all right Trump does a video in which he's claiming the election was rigged and he's calling the people who did it riggers how how long did it take for somebody in social media to say riggers wait a minute is this another one of those uh racist things he's saying without saying it is this is this racist Mafia talk does he really mean the n-word but he's using the r word to try to beat it in some kind of a clever workaround no do you think he's calling people who do elections the n-word no but do you think that do you think it ever crossed his mind that it would make a lot of trouble if he used the word Maybe maybe which would be freaking hilarious it would be hilarious so Riga please anyway um in my opinion reality is already starting to bend right the reality that we're told is reality that is that the election was clean and the way that you know the election was clean is that they didn't find any problems and half of the country thinks that makes sense all right let me say it again so we can laugh at half of the country half of the country will say this on you on social media in public like they think it makes sense and that you're done for not understanding here's what they say the elections were definitely clean because there's no publicly known information that would refute that it's 2023 and people will say that in public and they'll think well this is a smart take the smart take is that they didn't find any problems so therefore it's clean now I don't need to even say anything about that do I imagine that imagine that stop it stop it I'm not even going to read that comment stop it just stop it all right I'll tell you about it later I'll tell you I'll tell you about it during the man cave it was it was too inappropriate for public but it was funny all right let's not insult anybody if we don't need to unless they have it coming um so I lost my train of thought that was just too funny all right train of thought back online stop it stop it um you're terrible stop it um so here's what I think I can almost feel the simulation changing now of course this is just you know a mental phenomenon I'm not I'm not saying we're necessarily in the simulation but it seems like it and and here's here's what the simulation requires it requires Trump to be in the greatest legal Jeopardy whatever that looks like looks like we're approaching it the greatest legal Jeopardy and it should be about the you have his claims that the election was fake and then in the nick of time there's going to be a discovery that the election was actually fraudulent now I do not have any evidence that I think is credible a fraud I do have credible people saying you know if you look online there are people who are credible to me who are saying that they found things and this is the this is the new Kraken but I'm I'm too primed not to accept a new Kraken is anybody with me on that yeah I've been I've been slapped so hard that you know I'm not I'm not going to endorse any Krakens even if they look good on paper because remember a lot of the claims looked really good on paper didn't they and I warned you from the beginning that even if something is fraudulent which I didn't know that there will be 95 percent of the plan the claims would be debunked and properly debunked and that's what we saw yeah we saw so far 100 debunked that's the official story but do you think that means they don't exist I guess I went through that before but it feels to me like like the reality the simulation the zeitgeist every part of my body thinks he's going to pull a rabbit out of a hat why do I feel that I I feel it like it's already happened I feel it like a fact in the future but I have no evidence for it no evidence whatsoever there's nothing I see nothing that tells me that's going to happen except it just feels like it it just freaking feels like it and I I feel like this this feels like a thing is more meaningful than it sounds you know if it were nothing but a feeling but man it feels like that just there's too much going on that the frothiness of the topic you can just feel it and I would actually be surprised at this point if he doesn't have a third act that shows there was at least some meaningful fraud and at least one important place and if it turns out to be Georgia oh my God oh my God now I have no reason to believe it would be no reason at all but I feel it I feel it well of course Alan dershowitz says weighed in on the Trump charges um he largely thinks that they're a political joke and I love I love reading the Democrats who are giving me a hard time online because they're quite they're quite sure that with this many indictments oh my God so many indictments uh I think there's ten thousand now right ten thousand indictments or something 10 or 13 or 72 or some number so therefore he's clearly a criminal that's been proven by the indictments but of course indictments are easy to get doesn't mean anybody is guilty and uh dershowitz basically thinks the charges are political and ridiculous and will no matter what happens in the lower courts the Supreme Court will laugh at them and toss them out and that's his prediction now if you're a Democrat and you're not one of the top lawyers of all time don't you feel a little silly saying that he's the walls are closing in they got him this time as long as long as dershowitz is over here saying no I'm predicting this will all go away it would you know will affect the elections of course but in the end it's it's all transparently obviously weak and political and the Supreme Court will just wipe it away like like what's from their eye terrible analogy um so he also points out that Rico which you know and of course dershowitz has been everywhere this important in the law so he's like his personal friend is the one who invented the RICO the RICO statues he knows everything about Rico right and he says it wasn't meant for political people doing political stuff I mean it was meant for other purposes it's been repurposed from Mafia to some other things but it made sense when they repurposed it he doesn't think this this application of Rico is going to stand the uh the full full test to the Supreme Court I guess um dershowitz points out and I haven't heard this anywhere else that the judge in this case uh lied in public no she lied and everybody else knows she lied as a it's basically going to be a test develop or a trial about somebody lying but anyway the judge said they they're trying to wrap it up in six months and dershowitz just laughs at that because the other thing she said is that she's going to try all the the many defendants sort of simultaneously and dershowitz points out with that many defendants you could have 50 lawyers in the room just for the defendants you know let's say they have two apiece and 50 lawyers dealing with every motion so somebody could say something like I'd like to move the venue and then somebody else could say I like this venue and all 50 of them would have to hammer it out so that you have a process that not only can't be done in six months but it's really really really really obvious that the judge was lying because nothing could be done nothing of that complexity could be done in six months under those conditions it just can't happen it's undoable and and our uh is it the prosecutor I was the judge I think it was the judge wasn't oh the D.A oh I'm being a manufactured it was the D.A not the judge thank you thank you D.A not the judge that's that's an important correction so the D.A who said it would be six months not the judge all right thank you for that that's that's the beauty of the live format I love being a fact check in real time I think that really helps all right so the biggest I think one of the biggest keys to this uh the Trump charges are that perfect phone call as he says do you remember how many times you've seen um uh that we need to find eleven thousand seven hundred eighty votes you've seen that in the headlines you've seen it from pundits you've seen it on the news right so that's all true because it's on the news it's quoted and you've probably even seen or you've probably even heard audio of him saying it have you not well I found out today that this was always a rupar and I didn't know it now if you're new to me a rupar are you par refers to a video but it could apply to audio as well in which you delete part of it and here's the weird characteristic of a rupar deleting part of it reverses its meaning reverses it it doesn't just take a Nuance away it actually reverses it right so for example some rupars were the fine people hoax if you take away the part where he says immediately after he said find people he said I'm not talking about the neo-nazis they should be condemned completely if we remove that which they did it reverses the meaning from disavowing Nazis which he said explicitly to complementing them and supporting Nazis it's a complete reversal by removing one part likewise with the drinking bleach Oaks when they remove the part before he talks about it and immediately after those are the two clarifications the clarifications were that he was talking about light being brought into the lungs you know literally putting a stent down there or something and Shining Light on the lungs as a possible disinfectant the news removed the reference of light on both ends and he made sure he put it on both ends so you wouldn't be confused so they removed it and reported it and that changed it to he wants you to drink bleach now drinking bleach is not even similar in any way to Shining Light down your down your uh down your lungs now I'm watching some some people who are finding this out for the first time imagine you're watching this live stream right now and you're hearing this for the first time and I just saw somebody go LOL sorry this is really mind-bending if you haven't heard it before here's another one the uh over feeding the koi the the fish in Japan so the real video showed uh Hughes with uh I guess it was President Abe and or one of the presidents I forget who it was I think it was Abe right and the two of them were feeding koi fish by throwing some you know bread or whatever in and then when they were done Abe led by dumping the rest of his fish food in because he was done and then Trump also dumped his in because he was Following the Leader literally when you cut out the part where Abe went first the news showed that Trump was a big old dope instead of feeding the fish like a little at a time he just dumped his fish food and that's a that's a rupar um you remember the Covington kids video you it looked like the teenager was getting in the face of some Native American oh my God that kid fooled me fooled me for 24 hours but it's because they clipped out the part where it was the Native American guy who was actually getting in the face of the kid it looked opposite if you take that out so the rupar remember that the rupar doesn't just change like a detail it complete it completely changes the story to an opposite or something that's horrible horrible in the opposite direction right so in the drinking bleach hoax Trump was actually ahead of the scientists because he was aware of a trial that was actually being trialed at that time to see if light would work as a disinfectant in the trachea in the lungs so he knew something above the scientists and the News reversed it to not only did he know more about you know that one little thing but that he was so dumb he thinks you should drink bleach now half of the country actually believed all of those things and still does half of the country believes all of those things because a rupar video is really persuasive it's really persuasive so it turns out that this uh find the fight 11 780 votes was it just another rupar and I didn't find that out until today is the day I found that out can you believe it now I'll explain it to you because you you might not be aware of it I know for example Breitbart did report this when it happened but I think we lost you know if you ever knew it you probably forgot it by now I did um here's his actual full statement so this is on audio we know this is his full statement so look all I want to do is this I just want to find 11 780 votes which is more than we have because we won the state which part did they take out because we won the state if you take out because we won the state which is a very clear statement that he believes that they're trying to take an illegitimate result look at it more closely and come up with a legitimate vote because he thinks he won what part do they leave out every time because we won the state what is the entire the entire trial is about his State of Mind did he really believe he won the state or not now this alone would not be evidence of his state of mind because they could just say he was lying but it is evidence not not conclusive but it's more evidence of of uh exculp it's I would say this is exculpatory exculpatory am I using that word right it's evidence that we should be given the public and certainly the court but we should be given this evidence from the beginning because this is the part that gives you context to explain what you're saying imagine you heard only this I just want you to find eleven thousand seven hundred eighty votes does that satellite Mafia talk yeah a little bit a little bit doesn't it sounds a little bit like Mafi talk it's not guaranteed it's Mafia talk but you could easily imagine it right you could imagine it now you add because we won the state is that what the mafia guy says does the mafia guy does the mafia boss say I'd like you to go get that thing that we legally own hey uh I'd like you to go to the store and get me some products all right I'm gonna steal some products for you no no here's the money take the money go to the store pay for the products bring them to me and the change too yes the change too go to the store pay for the products put them in a bag get a receipt bring it to me that's what they're accusing of they're accusing him of asking for something he is specifically calling out as legal that's the mafia talk he might go to jail because of a rupar audio which basically is biased the entire world so that by the time you reach the jury pool you're so polluted that it wouldn't matter what you heard at that point yeah it goes to his intention and his intention is completely different if he says I think I won can you find the evidence of that by looking more carefully completely different are you using an analogy no I'm using several different stories yeah oh the mafia analogy is that an analogy let me think it's let me uh let me tell you the right way to use an analogy in the wrong way the wrong way to use an analogy is that that's your argument right now hold on people think I'm busted I'm not I've always said the same analogy is a good way to introduce introduce a concept it's not how you win an argument so I think I said very clearly that the argument is that he said he believes he won the state so that's the argument so the argument doesn't need the analogy the analogy is in case you didn't catch the argument it's like it's like another way to bring you into the argument it's not the argument right so I'm not winning any arguments by an analogy I'm using them to further clarify a situation that's that is a proper use the improper use is to say it reminds me of something and therefore that's not a proper use all right but look look at look how much you learned today um uh so let me let me run something by you can you imagine Trump giving some kind of a speech or national address or something as he's running for office in which he simply lays out how the gears of the machine work he simply lays out how the Biden you know crime family does their work even if the end result is there's no criminal liability just lay it out in case you didn't know this is how that's done then move on to the media and say all right here's some things and he could even use the Peter Zan um explanation that they don't collect real news they're really an opinion manufacturing entities just sort of describe that world people say yeah that's probably true and just describe some of the other worlds such as how did the Russia collusion hoax so could you imagine Trump running through each of the hoaxes including and this would make you happy pandemic related hoaxes or bad behavior let's say imagine him laying out all of the parts and saying and why did this happen well follow the money here's how this happened why did this happen follow the money you can see the gears of the machine so imagine the hymn it doesn't have to be Trump but imagine somebody just laying out how everything works because remember Dave Chappelle actually gave him credit once for doing exactly that when Trump said the system is rigged and the reason he knows you know the whole political system is rigged and the reason he knows is that he's part of the rigging as a citizen he was donating to things and using the system so even even Chappelle said you know at least he told you honestly you know that that's worth something he actually told you to your face how this system works I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of that would you a little more of that please yeah but he's got to find I think he also he probably has to find election rigging he has to kind of prove it now correct me if I'm wrong um isn't Trump didn't he say on someday soon he's going to do a big uh election speech on Monday right so on Monday he's going to present I guess the information now do you expect that the information he presents is going to hold up to scrutiny because I imagine it's more than one claim right I assume he's going to give you several claims if he gave you one claim like one really good claim I would say his odds of being right are much higher than if he gives you five if he gives you five it's going to look like laundry list persuasion as in well none of these are proven but look how many there are you know where there's smoke there must be fire sort of thing that would be persuasion if he gives you one he might have the goods so that's the first thing you look for look for the one that just just wins the day because maybe there is one who knows I don't know uh if he gives you the one that's really strong and then can't help himself and he's got to mention all the other ones that are not as strong that's a waste of time that's just gonna all that will happen is the news will debunk the weak ones they will ignore the strong one am I right you all know it they will ignore the strong one they'll debunk the weak ones and they'll tell you that they're done and they're all debunked right that now Trump could also explain that because that's how the gears of the machine work imagine you're giving the speech and saying all right now here's the here's how the gears of the machine work I've given you five examples one of them I believe is really solid watch the news coverage tomorrow they're only going to talk about the other ones which even I tell you need more investigation these are not guaranteed these are just red flags but watch how they treat the red flags as the one they debunk if they can and they ignore my strong one now he won't do that but you know you can imagine he could well that's that's going to be must watch TV do you think there's anything that would stop you from watching trumps uh try to pull off the third act because that's the third Act if he pulls it off that's the third Act I wouldn't put a big Bet On It because I don't know it'll be as clean as he gives a speech and that's his third act and everything changes I doubt that because the media will just you know try to eviscerate him no matter what he says but it could be then maybe he starts a spark of something that maybe somebody later can prove is real we'll see I wouldn't expect any major change on Monday but it's so I mean I'm so interested you know what is it that after all of these fake claims fake meaning unproven uh after all the times that you know he got his hopes up do you think that this is the time of all times is this the time he would come forth with okay we we finally got the goods this would be the time unless you really have it I mean it would be a hell of a a hell of a gutsy play if he didn't have the goods but you know it's possible he could think he has them and doesn't you know you never know um yeah all right so You.

Tube uh the new uh rules are that they can ban you for Content that disagrees with the World Health Organization or local Health officials like the CDC Michael schellenberger is pointing out that it will censor you if you disagree with the World Health Organization think about that do you realize that I would have been censored so when the World Health Organization first said um some stuff about masks and I tried to debunk them I would have been banned on You.

Tube amazing all right but then um Michael shellenberger says You.

Tube isn't a social media platform it's a propaganda platform and I said to myself huh I kind of like that framing because by my count your your account might be different but my by my count there's only one there's only one social media platform and the rest are propaganda platforms they're advertising in propaganda but there's one that's actually social media that's X yeah x x is at least trying to be a social media platform the other ones are just um essentially propaganda platforms that suck money out of your pockets uh and uh sell the advertisers all right yeah you don't tweet anymore you exclaim or you post post is the most boring word for it but I guess that's where we're going with all right ladies and gentlemen um more to Elon musk's point if you looked at me a year ago and you said how do you prepare for this live stream I would say I read the news and I collect the news and then I talk about it with my own opinions but lately I've realized that I've done the show without ever checking the news because I checked social media which you know picks out pieces from the news and often refers to the the actual news source but that's the only way this seems to make sense do you know why if you go to CNN and you see a story you're going to see the CNN spin of the story is that useful is worse than negative it's worse than nothing it would be better if you'd never seen it because it's a spin it's opposite of news it's you know it's a sort of managed news if you go to Fox News are you ever going to see him agreeing with CNN now you know they have their own spin on things so if you see either news you've got to go to both sources and make sure you've cross-checked your work which I do all the time I show you that that I like to see something's true on both platforms before I'm sure it's true if only one platform says it's true well I don't know probably not maybe um however I've noticed lately I can spend all of my time on Twitter because if there's a story that makes my hair on fire like ah did somebody really do or say that there'll be a community note or there'll be another human saying No this is out of context you know this is what they left out here's a link to the opposite story so when I read Twitter I get the news from both directions when I read any platform other other so-called news platforms I have to go to at least two sources so I've seen both sides but Twitter has it there automatically you know that you can always count on the trolls to come in and give you as much trouble as possible the trolls actually are kind of useful because even when they don't say you know factual arguments they give you a sense of how people are feeling they give you a sense of how basically how brainwashed they are when you see the trolls let's say the trolls were not just saying a bad thing they're they're trying to argue that politics you you should feel sorry for them because the trolls are the most hypnotized brainwashed people they're not coming at you with their better arguments they're coming out with you know TDS so you can see the effects of brainwashing best on the trolls so don't you don't want to get rid of the trolls they're like this little indicator of how bad the brainwashing is because the more brainwashing more trolls all right uh the trolls are the ones who say it was an insurrection yeah so if you didn't know from the trolls that they actually believed there was an Insurrection on January 6 or an attempted one um you would not necessarily think that's even a thing like your your brain would say well nobody's going to believe the Republicans do an Insurrection without weapons and then what have you gone down the uh the January 6th well so each of the arguments that are fake fake narrative arguments they all have what I call the well so it goes like this let's see if I can roughly do it without preparing January 6 was an armed insurrection and then I come in and say there's no such thing as Republicans doing an armed Insurrection without firearms but it was violent all right so you're going nothing well all right all right so yeah they didn't all have weapons but a lot of people had weapons okay but nobody actually brandished a gun right but they had guns all those guns were taken away from them they had guns they had bear spray they beat people with objects right right right but what percentage of those people were involved in that well there's a lot of violence there was a lot of violence here here's all the examples of all I know I know but with all the people there what percentage of them were actually doing something violent well you know people got killed right right right Ashley Babbitt got killed and some of the police officers died soon after and that's very tragic and may have been in large part because of it tragic or so you can just keep going down the well But ultimately they have to believe that Republicans try to conquer the country by trespassing in a building you you take the trolls all the way down to but ultimately what you believe is that weapons or not violence or not that the plan for Conquering the country was to wander around in the building what do they say after you get to the bottom of the well and say but explain explain how the rest of their plan went so you trespass and then you get the nuclear codes and who delivers them does the guy who carries the football actually knock on the door and say it looks like we have new leadership you trespassers which one of you a guy with advice on the hat I got the nuclear how can you connect the dots okay just just tell me how the plan was going to work its this way out when you get to the bottom of the well and you get to that point what does the troll say remember they're deeply hypnotized these are not people operating under reason they are literally and I'm not I'm not saying this for political you know points or anything they're actually brainwashed actually literally brainwashed what do they do well in my experience they say something like Well why'd your wife leave you that's what I get or I get why is your steps Undead that's what I get yeah when you get to the bottom of the well it's pretty dark down there right so if you don't have the stones to go to the bottom of the well five times a day you need to stay off Twitter I spend a lot of time in the bottom of the well all right that's all I got for today thanks for watching You.

Tube it's the best show you've ever seen or ever we'll see until tomorrow bye

Papa

good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of civilization

sometimes with proper lighting there we

go just right

if you'd like to take this experience

which is going to be amazing just by

itself but if you want to take this to

levels that nobody's ever understood or

heard or it could even speak of there's

no words to explain it all you need is a

cup or a mug or a glass of tanker tells

us either canteen jug of flaska 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 thing makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous sip it happens now

go

ah you did that well

I think that was your best SIP

good job

well I don't know where to begin there's

so many weird and interesting stories

today that I didn't even get to check

the news

and I'll talk about that the news

without the news

all right well I like to start with

interesting stories before we get to the

big meet but so there's a tour group

that gives tours of San Francisco

how would you like to be a tour group

or how would you like to be a business

whose job it was to give tours of San

Francisco well apparently they're

capitalizing on the situation and

they're now giving a tour that they call

the Doom Loop walking tour

and it's a tongue-in-cheek ad but it

says uh you've read the headlines you've

seen the tweets now get close and

personal to the doom and squalor of

downtown San Francisco

oh

just discover the policy choices that

made America's wealthiest city the

nation's Innovative leader of housing

crisis addiction

so apparently here's the funny part the

tours are booked

they're fully booked

there's all these people who want to see

the Doom Loop of a city in complete

disarray and decline

now if there's one thing I love about

America there's more than one thing

but one thing I love about America is

that we've never heard of a problem we

can't make money on

you name it

if something's going wrong there's one

of us bastards who's figuring out how to

make a buck on it and I'm sure that

that's what keeps the entire system

working

is that the dumbest most unproductive

things in the world can be going on and

somebody's going to be sitting off you

know just off the sideline saying I

think I can make this work

I think I can build a business model

around this

free market for the win

speaking of the free market Elon Musk

tweeted

uh that he actually put newspapers in

quote he goes newspapers

just search the internet particularly

this platform and print it out

wow

you know

there used to be a good reason to read

newspapers

does anybody remember when newspapers

had a comic called what was it called it

was called Dilbert Dilbert it used to be

in these paper things called newspapers

and they would be sent to people like

physically to their homes and stuff and

then they would try to read them and

they would get like their hands would be

filled with all kind of weird ink and

crap and after you read it you couldn't

talk you couldn't touch your food

do you ever try to read a newspaper and

eat toast at the same time

no you can't do it because your your

toast is going to taste like newspaper

ink right

I might have a bad attitude about

newspapers at the moment

I might have a little bias

a little bit

the the funniest question I get from

trolls online

is that the trolls like to come into my

tweets and say something about how sad I

must be that I got canceled by

newspapers

um

who would want to be associated with

newspapers

can you raise your hand is there anybody

here who have ever gone on a date and

lied that you worked on the newspaper

business try to impress your date it's

like I don't want her to hear that I'm a

quality assurance person at a big

Corporation I'm going to make up a some

kind of sexy job

astronaut no no she'd catch me uh

newspaper reporter newspaper writer yeah

yeah because you'd like you'd like to

feel good about yourself

because you work for a newspaper

um

well I was also watching some YouTube

clips

from Peter Zayn my God that guy's

interesting now I do not know if Peter

Zan has you know amazingly good insights

about everything geopolitical

or not

I mean I really can't tell what's true

and what's not but I'll tell you his

content is interesting from beginning to

end

so you know use your use your adult

filters to you know put yourself in the

head of nobody knows the future

can we agree that nobody knows the

future

but he says interesting things I'm going

to share a few with you

and first of all I need a fact check on

this because as Elon Musk says the

newspapers

but also the regular news they don't

have regular news Gathering

assets so they're trying to sell opinion

as news

so when actual news drops sometimes you

can't find it anywhere

because it's not opinion it's actual

news

but can you give me a confirmation I so

I haven't seen this in any news

so-called news

that we're working on to deal with Iran

and that is looking good

have you heard that

I can't even tell if it was a new video

but why did why did I completely missed

that in reading the news every single

day several times a day and I never saw

it

well

um I don't know why I guess it's because

as Elon Musk says the newspapers are not

real news and the regular news isn't

real news and by the way that was

another thing that Peter Zeon described

he described the evolution from having

robust news bureaus in other countries

to what we have now which is uh people

writing opinions and then other people

writing opinions about the other

people's opinions and we're selling it

as news because it comes out on the

Legacy platforms that you used to think

were news

so you it makes you think that news is

happening but there hasn't been news in

a long time

and news went away a long time ago it's

just opinions about opinions

um so anyway the but if Peter Zan is

correct

um it would look like the broad Strokes

of the deal would have something about

the U.S having or the International

Community the U.N having more access to

checking out Iran's nuclear situation

and apparently they're going to agree to

that and one of the surprises is now

this is from Peter Zan one of the

surprises is when Iran recently was

reinspected is that that uranium that

they were processing up to nuclear grade

they actually started going in the other

direction

they took half of what they had up to

like 90 percent and half of it they've

already downgraded it to is it

enrichment is the right word so they've

uh they've unenriched it if that's the

thing so it's less likely to become a

weapon

so it's beginning to look like Iran

either didn't need that much or maybe

they weren't so dead set on building a

nuclear weapon

I guess part of the deal is they would

allow more inspections uh they would

give six billion dollars of their own

money back or somebody else's money it

wasn't our money but the the the

background on this

is that the Russian sanctions

in an indirect way that he can explain

but I can't at the moment in an indirect

way it hurt Iran so Iran apparently is

just dying for cash they're just broke

and so Biden may have accidentally done

more harm to Iran's economy than Trump

did

but not because he was trying but

because he you know the Ukraine war

had had a side impact on Iran which is

pretty devastating

so that made an opportunity for a deal

because Iran was more desperate than

they have been now this is Peter's Ann

stake

I don't know you know I'm not there so I

don't have any counter claims to bounce

against it

but the idea is that Iran might be

flexible about nuclear stuff and here's

and if Zayn is right

um Benjamin Netanyahu

head of Israel

says that they're they're looking at a

deal that he can live with

so there might actually be something

going on

that's entirely positive for everybody

meaning that the Middle East would get

back into some kind of balance I believe

part of the deal is that Iran would stop

funding attacks against Saudi Arabia and

some of their neighbors

so you would get fewer funding less

funding of it of uh proxy attacks you

get we'd get some prisoners back I guess

some drug dealers were in prison

uh they would give six billion dollars

of their own or somebody else's money

that they had been held up but it wasn't

our money

and then we would get access to their

you know nuclear inspections

now the fact that maybe Netanyahu could

live with it

now put two things together

two things start with the uh Abraham

Accords

so the Abraham Accords got a lot of the

players on the same team at least

economically and on paper

but Iran was specifically carved out as

somebody you couldn't deal with at the

moment

but that caused the problem because Iran

is a funder of proxy wars and you know

they're the big problem over there

so it looks like we're heading toward

don't get too excited

but yeah the chatter is a Saudi Arabia

might be willing to recognize Israel

which I think might be a separate

conversation but I can easily see them

folded together

so Saudi Arabia might get relief from

the proxy wars

um is it the hutus and the whoever

so that we're attacking Saudi and Saudi

interests Yemen so so the Yemen thing

might get some relief at least in the

funding sense

relief meaning they're not funded to

attack anybody anymore

and that would create the hope would be

some balance in the Middle East

sufficient that we don't need to be

involved we the United States

and that might be amazing we might be

right on the cusp of two administrations

doing the right thing in one case maybe

a little bit accidentally but you know

taking advantage of it

we might be seeing something like a

gigantic

to administration because I think you'd

have to include both

two Administration

achievement that would be kind of

amazing

kind of amazing the hutus are rwanda's

okay I don't know my

assume everything I said about

that that area is wrong so it's the

Yemen

what are the two groups in Yemen

the two warring groups in Yemen are the

that the the who's and the who's

I'm in the wrong continent yeah I only

got the wrong continent but

the hoodies all right well somebody's

fighting over there anyway so that might

be good we'll see but the other thing

that Peter Zan said is that I hadn't

heard this before that the primary

reason for Russia's let's say

aggressiveness against his neighbors and

I'd never heard this before now you'd

always heard that it was you know maybe

defensive and maybe maybe he was

building up his Empire to get it back to

where it was but you know everything

that you hear in the United States

through the regular news about Russia

and Russia's intentions and Putin's

intentions that's all fake you know that

right

like anything about Putin's intentions

that's all Faith propaganda

right so you but Peter's Aion has a take

and it goes like this and I don't know

if I believe it

so I feel like

there's probably a lot more to it yeah

you've heard it's about warm water ports

here's his take

that the Topography of Russia and the

surrounding countries that are you know

between it in Europe proper

um the Topography is really

um disadvantageous for defense meaning

that if somebody were to attack Russia

prior to Russia being aggressive and you

know taking Crimea and Georgia and all

those things there were some easy attack

points

that the homeland of Russia would be

vulnerable to but in the old days under

the Soviet Union they had controlled

enough territory that they could control

choke points

so there are some choke points that if

you control them militarily it would be

very difficult for an army to attack

Russia

if you don't attack them apparently it's

kind of easy on the ground now so the

thinking is that even if Putin left

tomorrow

the the other senior people who were you

know his people would have exactly the

same policy because they all see us as

an existential risk to Russia whether

soon or in the next thousand years in

other words they're looking for a

permanent security situation for Russia

now have you ever seen that reported in

regular news

I read a lot of news about Ukraine

I've never seen that before have you how

many of you have never heard that before

other from Peter Zam

so some of you have you know a lot of

you have interesting

all right well good for you you know

I've said this a lot this is the I think

the most informed

and smartest audience in politics

because you actually are engaged in

trying to figure out how to figure out

which is way more important than

figuring out what the news said

you know this is a group of people who

are very actively trying to figure out

how are they lying to us and if they are

lying how can we figure it out and

wanted to tell us for lying and stuff

so well so I'm impressed I'm impressed

that that's such a basic thing that you

should need to know about the Ukraine

war now here's the part that I'm going

to disagree with Peter Zan

he says that the war can't end unless

one of them just has a convincing

Victory and that you know that's

unlikely

so that if Ukraine doesn't have a right

win and pretty much you know demolish

Russia as a as a major power

uh or or Putin somehow magically win if

that doesn't happen the war will just go

on forever

but I but what I hear is the opposite

what I hear if it's true that their

primary interest is the choke points

how could you not have a way to

negotiate that

that feels like the easiest thing to

negotiate now that doesn't mean you

necessarily say oh these choke points

can belong to you

but it definitely tells you that if

you've got something called NATO

don't expect them to give up on the

choke points

I mean you'd have to look at the whole

situation right like how about the whole

uh trade economic situation how about uh

the entire Russia Russia China

connection you'd want to loosen that and

maybe maybe get Russia into the European

or American domain a little bit more

so to me the fact that we understand

what the Russians want or at least I do

maybe for the first time I understand

that element

that usually gives you something to

negotiate that the times when you can't

negotiate is when two sides want the

same thing

and there's only one of the same thing

this is a situation where Russia wants

something unique to Russia

and other people want you know their own

things like their own security

Etc but they're different things

and I would say as a general uh

negotiation fact that when people want

the same one thing you've got a problem

okay you know that statue I own that no

I own it where are you gonna go with

that right you can't have half a statue

but if you've got a situation where what

the Russians need is a specific

Geographic or defensive power there's

probably a number of ways to get to that

and it's Unique to them so in other

words you don't have to give up

something of your own too much

necessarily

to give them what they want and that

that usually suggests a deal could be

made so I still think he could

all right

RFK Jr said too the most surprising

things you'll ever hear from a Democrat

number one Trump was right he was wrong

the wall is needed

boom now when he says carefully I don't

mean physically a wall the whole way but

also Trump didn't really mean that

either he means whatever whatever it

takes to close the border

he calls the Border completely open

and he tells a story that's associated

with his documentary he did he spends he

spent a lot of time interviewing people

there and I heard a story from him this

was on Tucker's interview

I heard a story from RFK Jr that I'd

never heard

apparently the we always do the cartels

or managing the illegal flow of

immigration we didn't know well I didn't

know so again this might be something

you already knew I didn't know that

their operation the cartel operation had

spread globally

to the point where almost all of the

immigrants

are not from Central America or Mexico

almost all of them are from Africa

everywhere else China

and he pointed out that the vast

majority of the of them are military age

men but he's not saying he's not saying

it's a military operation

he's just saying that's if you were to

look at him that that would be the

description the young men but they're

coming from you know Africa they're

coming from China they're coming from

any place they can get out of

now and apparently this system is built

to look like we have a system but it's a

fake system it's really designed to let

everybody in

and here's what that means

if you come in the let's say the legal

way where the government is you know

checking your fingerprints and giving

you a court date

your court date is in seven years

you have seven years to live in this

country

completely legally now you're not a

citizen but you're you're completely

legal because you've checked in

do you think that in seven years they're

going to be sent back do you think

there's a court in America as seven

years from now who's going to say well

you've been living and working here for

seven years and you've committed no

crimes let's say

do you think that we're going to send

them back

of course not no we do have an open

border

and even RFK Jr a Democrat says it

clearly this is an open border and he's

basically saying that the news has been

kept from you

not only has the news been kept from us

but even from the right I would say that

I have not seen any right-leaning

publication

and that might be on me I mean it

probably is in Breitbart actually

breitbart's good on the border so

Breitbart probably has covered this but

I haven't seen it on Fox news that 98 of

the people coming in are not from

Central and South America

and uh Kamala Harris says that all

worked out right

so Cobble Harris is working on Central

America and that's not even the problem

that it doesn't look like incompetence

does it would you agree that whatever is

going on it doesn't look like

incompetence it looks like some kind of

a

very determined effort to just let

everybody in

and it's hard for me to imagine what the

positive outcome of that is because the

cities are gone the cities are destroyed

yeah are you telling me the Democrats

were trying to destroy the Democrat

cities by letting in or is it only

because the Republican Governors you

know cleverly shipped their people to

the the blue cities and thwarted their

plan I don't know what's going on

like to to me it doesn't look like a

clever plan

like I I don't see the the clever way

that the Democrats are using immigration

as a as a secret tool to accomplish

their what do they really think they're

going to get extra votes

I don't think so

I I think that these immigrants are

being shipped into cities where they're

being shipped into you know the filth

and crime that they were trying to

escape and they're probably probably

saying to themselves the same thing

everybody else is what can we do about

this because I would like less crime and

filth in my own City where I'm living

for seven years at least and they're

probably going to say is there anybody

who's offering to take care of it

you know like a republican for example

uh I don't know I would definitely vote

I would bet against

immigration turning the country uh more

liberal

do you think let me uh let me do a

mental uh just a mental test for you

imagine a bus load the cartels got a

busload of immigrants and they've been

taken from everywhere from China to

Africa to I guess

um you know Eastern Europe or something

um so they're all over the place if you

were to do a survey of the let's say

attitudes or philosophies of the people

on that bus

how many are conservative and how many

are liberal

on the on the generic immigrant bus

remember people they're not French

they're not French

they're not British they're not

Australian

they're not woke

my guess is they're they're they're

bringing busloads of unwoke people into

the country

now that doesn't mean that they you know

register as a republican but I think

from a social perspective they're

bringing in way more conservative people

than their own base

am I wrong

given that it's you know the specific

collection of people from all over the

world do you think the Africans

are are liberal

you think Africans are liberal I mean in

some senses of course you know certainly

racially they would be

I mean at least at least at least they

wouldn't want to discrimination against

themselves

well I don't know so I don't understand

why the border is open because I don't

see the play it doesn't look like simple

incompetence it looks like a plan

but the only way it makes sense to me is

what's the only way it makes it there

you go

the only way it makes sense is if China

or one of our adversaries is has bribed

the president to go easy on the border

I mean to me it looks like there's some

outside force

because there's nothing in the news that

would explain what we're seeing

it would have to be an external force or

it could be an internal Force but one

that's not reported or we don't see it's

invisible somehow there's some outside

force that causes the Biden

Administration which means Biden himself

would you agree that Biden himself is

the person in charge of whether it's

open or closed

that doesn't stop anywhere else right

now of course you delegate stuff well no

but but in terms of on paper he's the

one in charge of the Border

not commonly

all right so that was kind of a shocker

to find that RFK Jr is not only a close

the border Democrat he's more closed the

Border than any Republican I've ever

seen

it is more close the border than any

Republican I've ever seen because she's

got better reasons he's coming at it

with facts he did his own research he

went there himself he interviewed

busloads of people individually he

actually understands the whole situation

and if you want if you want me to finish

this conversation it goes like this

the cartels when families come through

they remove the young and attractive

traffickable women

and then they send the rest of the

family on their way

that's right they'll take your sister

and your wife

turn them into prostitutes

and send you on your way to America

now RFK Jr explains that you know I mean

this is a well-known understood

phenomenon and you talk to families that

had a member taken away to be trafficked

and traffic by the way would be the good

news that would be the best outcome the

bad news is raped to death right right

there while you're you know 100 yards

away

so that's what's happening on our border

and that's what the Biden Administration

and Biden himself is specifically

allowing

because they're you know quite aware of

it but they're allowing it

here's the big second big change RFK JR

says that when he talks about uh

the environment he rarely talks about

climate and climate change risk do you

know what reason he gave

for why he doesn't talk about climate

change risk but rather he tries to talk

about the things where everybody would

agree which is better water better air

and moving toward energy this less

polluting in general

do you know why he says he's not talking

climate change risk

doesn't believe scientists and doesn't

believe the model

thank you

you know how long how long have people

been telling me Scott why do you keep

saying that RFK JR says some good things

that you like

when you know he's like a climate change

crazy guy and he's always been a climate

change crazy guy

well I could not believe that everything

else RFK Jr said about the experts

didn't apply to climate scientists

right because he's not coming across as

a partisan he is coming across right or

wrong like maybe some of his ideas are

terrific maybe some of them are terrible

I don't know I'm not the one really to

judge them all but I know he's not being

partisan I know he's not just playing

for a team

and his skepticism about scientists who

were you know paid for their opinions

basically his skepticism does apply to

climate change models

exactly

as you think it should have

am I wrong

isn't everything that RFK Jr has said

about Pharma big food

you know big companies polluting

is it and you know the CIA I mean isn't

everything he says consistent with not

believing the uh the scientific climate

change models it is that is 100

consistent he's telling you the entire

system is corrupt

and so he doesn't believe any of the

corruptor parts

that's pretty good

now somebody said to me but Scott he

said he wants to get rid of coal and oil

do you think that's true

do you think it's true the RFK wants to

get rid of coal and oil

the answer is incomplete

incomplete yes he does yes he does want

to get rid of him do you know what he

wants to do to get rid of them

let the free market get rid of them

that's right he wants the free market

to properly price

all of our energy components so that one

of them is not accidentally subsidized

for no good purpose other than the

profits that they use subsidized

now I don't know if that's a good idea

sounds like it might be I mean it's very

much

could be I just don't know if the free

market is as efficient as you'd like it

to be or if we could get it there

but do you hate the fact that he's

anti-coal and anti-oil in only the sense

that it needs to compete fairly against

the Green energy and if it wins it wins

if it doesn't it doesn't

and if it wins for a while and then

doesn't that's the free market

but he's not worried about the climate

models and and the risk of bills being

killed he wants to breathe

and eat

and go to the doctor without getting

up by

that's it

that's pretty reasonable now I'm not you

know I'm not endorsing him I'm just

saying that when you see somebody enter

the race in a non-partisan fashion and

look at like really really show complete

I would say complete credibility

in the way he talks about the issues you

don't have to agree with them but he's

definitely trying he's trying to include

the the evidence that one side always

likes to ignore

you know in both cases now that doesn't

make him your candidate right you may

disagree them on an abortion or

something else but

my God he's doing a good job and he's

doing a great job for the country

you know just helping us shape our

arguments and how we think about this

stuff I mean a great job if the only

thing RFK Jr did was create this uh

border documentary and inform us what's

really going on for the first time in my

case I think others might might have

known it

but that's a tremendous tremendous

benefit to the country that's that's

pure

good citizenship

now you know I I tell you if Vivek is

amazing every day and again he's created

some more videos where his take is the

best one he was talking about Taiwan

see if you don't think this is the

cleanest

take on Taiwan I'm not saying it's the

best

because I'm not sure any any solution is

perfect but he says that as long as

Taiwan uh is our Vital source of

microchips and we're not really that

close to replacing them he said as long

as that's true China is not going to

take Taiwan if he's president

just period it's just not going to

happen whatever it takes they're not

going to take Taiwan under these

circumstances but here's the nuance

he says once America you know recaptures

its ability to do Advanced microchips he

says that is a civil war and then he

after that you have to recalibrate

because at that point we would not have

a vital security interest

but until then he would he would float

you know maybe

destroyers or Crews whatever through the

Straits to make sure that China knows

that we're not going to give up our

microchips that's just not going to

happen

pretty good

pretty good I don't know if it's

complete

it's pretty good

you know for somebody whose message is

let's take care of ourselves

all right

I I've got a troll on here that's I feel

like the good trolls take the summer off

like it'll be till September until

somebody really trolls me good

but I'm getting the

uh the all caps trolls

I think the all caps drills are the ones

who who are even

disregarded by other trolls I think even

other trolls

like have a hierarchy of trolling it's

like ah

urinal cap stroll aren't you

I go for more of the emotional stuff

I'll try to find what people's what

somebody is saying politically

I'll try to say what they're saying

politically but then I'll go after them

for whatever personal tragedy they had

like that's a higher end troll but even

they don't like the all caps trolls it's

like you're making us look bad

you know I just said something about his

dead stepson and I think I nailed it and

then you made me look bad with your all

caps comment could you please take your

all caps

to the lower league of trolley and not

make us all look bad

all right here's a question for you

Rasmussen uh did a poll uh how many

people do you believe who are likely

voters

believe that as a vice presidential

running mate kamales Harris helps

Biden's chances in 2024. how many think

that it's that she helps his chance oh

yeah that's a pretty good guess is 22

percent

but your your guess of 25 was really

close

again I again the smartest audience ever

and I did note that many of you had the

answer before I asked the question and

you won't see that in the live streams

right you watch another live stream

usually it's like somebody will ask a

question and then they'll be the answer

because that's the the slower viewers

that's the way they do it's like I've

got to wait for the question oh here's

the answer so slow so old now my I my my

viewers give the answer before the

question and that's the way to do it

uh here's an update on my book you know

I've got a new book reframe your brain

because my publisher canceled me the

update is I am banned for life on Amazon

KDP now that's the service that

independent Publishers use to put books

on Amazon so to make it available now

the reason for Banning me for life is

that I don't own my own book

they say now I do own my book I own all

the rights I have all the documentation

I have the assignment documents which

have been provided to them from the from

the start

so from the start they had the document

showing my ownership

but when we say what's wrong with my

documents showing my ownership

they say

well we'll have to study this and get

back to you and then they study it and

they say you're still banned for life

and then I say yeah but like why is

there somebody you think owns it or do

you think that I'm not me

and they say banned for life confirmed

we'll get we'll five days we'll get a

look at it again

now it took me a while because these

were email email exchanges with the

support it took me a while to realize

I'm talking to an AI

I'm pretty sure the the responses didn't

have any tells for a human

now they were signed by a human name

so several of the messages had different

names there's Christopher and there's

somebody else but the message and two of

them came back identical

right so I know they weren't reading the

message now

I made sure that I wrote my message in a

way the last one that it would be

impossible

to ignore what I said and simply say

some canned response but I got a candid

response so it would have been

impossible for a human to ignore what I

said

so

I don't have any way to even figure it

out so we're going to look for

Alternatives and we'll see if we can

solve it now before you go all

conspiracy theory

there's no indication it's anything but

maybe a system problem

probably if I had to guess it's because

my old publisher

had some placeholders online for the

future book and maybe those are

confusing the system it's probably some

AI system that checks content to make

sure you check something to make sure

you own it

now it is not a conspiracy theory

don't think this is part of cancellation

now it is true that I was canceled in

newspapers primarily because the

Washington Post I think was the you know

the leading entity that canceled me and

then the other newspaper said oh if the

Washington Post does it we all have to

do it so the Washington Post is owned by

Jeff Bezos who's you know a notable

Democrat

um and he also owns Amazon which just

Banned Me For Life

so the two Jeff Bezos properties have

banned me for life to make it impossible

to you know be a public figure and earn

a living but

we're still we're going to still call

that a coincidence

all right

now here because the problem is he owns

he owns so many things that the odds of

running into him are pretty high right

the odds of running into a Bezos

something is pretty high so it doesn't

mean that he's behind anything uh

however if I were him I'd be deeply

embarrassed

imagine being the guy who owns Amazon

which is basically a you know a Bastion

of free speech you know maybe uh in my

opinion Amazon's one of the greatest

companies ever created you know Amazon

is more than just a company it's like

it's amazing you know that they do such

a good job at Amazon the software and

the technology that you forget

how many mistakes somebody could make

with this business the the fact that

they operate so well I mean it's not

perfect but they operate so well in an

amazing complex environment it's just

jaw-dropping every time I see it so I

think Amazon is one of the greatest

companies of all time I mean that's not

saying anything shocking

so great company

um and I don't think Jeff Bezos is

sitting around worrying about what Scott

does so I think it would be highly

unlikely

that he had made some personal decisions

in any way but if I were him I'd be

pretty embarrassed if my if two of my

major properties had Banned Me For Life

over

so

um

so that's where we are well I'm working

with Joshua lisac we'll work out the

business options we do apparently we

have some options so it's not like

they'll be banned and never be able to

put the book out it'll be available

somewhere somewhere

probably in the next week or two

probably the hard cover so far has not

been stopped because it's going to come

through a different path

but they might stop it that would be

consistent

so that's the update on that all right

uh Mike sirovich's warning of genocide

he says that the

the situation in the United States is

fitting a pattern of you know

polarization and demonization and you

know there's a pretty well known

pattern that gets you to genocide

um you know dehumanization uh let's say

by the media debanking we see we're

seeing that and then you'll prosecutions

that you think are

so every one of those things is

happening right now in the United States

does that mean we're going to have a

full breakdown of civilization

and people will be killing people in the

streets

I don't think so you know I actually

don't I just don't feel it I don't feel

it in the Zeitgeist at all I don't feel

it outside of social media and social

media doesn't have arms and legs

so

uh

I don't know I don't feel at all

but you know I don't spend around a lot

of time around people so do you yeah do

you feel in your real life in your real

life is anybody like cleaning their guns

and getting ready to go to war

when you say you feel it but do you feel

it in your daily life forget about

social media

forget about social media in your daily

life you feel like there's a Civil War

coming

I don't see anything like that

a lot of people say yes by the way but

uh my opinion is that you may be biased

by social media

to see it but although although some of

you probably have family members who are

so

who are so spoiled you even your own

family looks like a Civil War at this

point

all right

um so I'm going to be counter to that

but I think he makes a warning that you

should pay attention to which is this

stuff can get out of hand really quickly

so where he and I will agree completely

two places all the signs are there I

agree with that you know if you go down

the list all the signs are there and

number two

um

it can happen quickly

so you can say to yourself yeah yeah

it's got the signs are there but you

know we'd have lots of a warning before

it got that bad no no you wouldn't that

that's really important to know you

wouldn't have a lot of warning because

you have a lot of warning right now

so if you're telling yourself we'd have

lots of warning to correct this is the

warning

where's the correction

you're warned you couldn't be warned any

clearer than this

uh but as somebody else pointed out uh

what's it mean when the country is

heavily armed and the answer is we're

going to stay solid

because we're too heavily armed

yeah and we're the arming gives you a

little confidence and you can make you

can make the political system do what

you want eventually so I think we'll be

fine it could get worse before it gets

better but I don't think we're going to

full genocide

um

Trump apparently there they want to get

a trump mug shot but there's some I

think there's some possibility they

could make that go away because it's not

necessary for the most famous face in

the world the reason you do mug shots

I'm told

is in case somebody tries to escape the

law you've got a picture of them for

later

but if you're the most famous face in

the world

do you really need a mug shot where is

it going to hide

um

but this gives me the questions let's

let's I think maybe he won't do it but

if he does do it the biggest question I

have is does he go for the smile

or the powers there

right because you see this smile when he

poses for pictures

his smile isn't his best look I mean

it's good that he can smile but you know

he has sort of a smile for the camera's

look that's not ideal

you know what I mean the I'm smiling

because I'm on camera look that's not

your best smile

but you know you do what you can if

you're a politician you you gotta you

gotta show the teeth right

uh but he has a Powers there

that's killer wouldn't you say the power

stair I don't know if I can do it but it

builds something like this

you know the the dad's coming home stare

the one I want to see is the dad coming

home stare the the one that says

just wait

just wait that's the one I want to see

and as uh sticks and Hammer said it's

going to be the most memed image of all

time

nothing will be more memed than his mug

shot so I say

do the mug shot

do the mug shot his his base is waiting

like we're all like they're waiting at

their computers

do it do it do it do it

all right

uh Trump

all right Trump does a video in which

he's claiming the election was rigged

and he's calling the people who did it

riggers

how how long did it take

for somebody in social media to say

riggers wait a minute

is this another one of those uh racist

things he's saying without saying it is

this is this racist Mafia talk

does he really mean the n-word but he's

using the r word to try to beat it in

some kind of a clever workaround

no do you think he's calling people who

do elections the n-word

no

but do you think that do you think it

ever crossed his mind that it would make

a lot of trouble if he used the word

Maybe

maybe which would be freaking hilarious

it would be hilarious

so Riga please anyway

um in my opinion

reality is already starting to bend

right the reality that we're told is

reality that is that the election was

clean and the way that you know the

election was clean is that they didn't

find any problems

and half of the country thinks that

makes sense

all right let me say it again so we can

laugh at half of the country half of the

country will say this on you on social

media in public

like they think it makes sense and that

you're done for not understanding

here's what they say

the elections were definitely clean

because there's no publicly known

information that would refute that

it's 2023 and people will say that in

public

and they'll think well this is a smart

take the smart take is that they didn't

find any problems so therefore it's

clean

now I don't need to even say anything

about that do I

imagine that imagine that

stop it

stop it

[Laughter]

I'm not even going to read that comment

stop it

just stop it

all right I'll tell you about it later

I'll tell you I'll tell you about it

during the man cave it was it was too

inappropriate for public but it was

funny

all right let's not insult anybody if we

don't need to

unless they have it coming

um

so I lost my train of thought that was

just too funny all right train of

thought back online stop it stop it

um

you're terrible

stop it

um

so here's what I think

I can almost feel

the simulation changing

now of course this is just you know a

mental phenomenon I'm not I'm not saying

we're necessarily in the simulation but

it seems like it

and and here's here's what the

simulation requires it requires Trump to

be in the greatest legal Jeopardy

whatever that looks like looks like

we're approaching it the greatest legal

Jeopardy and it should be about the you

have his claims that the election was

fake

and then in the nick of time

there's going to be a discovery that the

election was actually fraudulent

now I do not have any evidence

that I think is credible a fraud

I do have credible people saying you

know if you look online there are people

who are credible to me

who are saying that they found things

and this is the this is the new Kraken

but I'm I'm too primed not to accept a

new Kraken

is anybody with me on that

yeah I've been I've been slapped so hard

that you know I'm not I'm not going to

endorse any Krakens even if they look

good on paper because remember a lot of

the claims looked really good on paper

didn't they and I warned you from the

beginning that even if something is

fraudulent which I didn't know

that there will be 95 percent of the

plan the claims would be debunked and

properly debunked

and that's what we saw yeah we saw so

far 100 debunked that's the official

story

but do you think that means they don't

exist

I guess I went through that before but

it feels to me

like like the reality the simulation

the zeitgeist

every part of my body thinks he's going

to pull a rabbit out of a hat why do I

feel that I I feel it like it's already

happened

I feel it like a fact in the future

but I have no evidence for it no

evidence whatsoever there's nothing I

see nothing

that tells me that's going to happen

except it just feels like it it just

freaking feels like it

and I I feel like this this feels like a

thing is more meaningful than it sounds

you know if it were nothing but a

feeling but man it feels like that just

there's too much going on that the

frothiness of the topic

you can just feel it and I would

actually be surprised at this point if

he doesn't have a third act that shows

there was at least some meaningful fraud

and at least one important place

and if it turns out to be Georgia

oh my God

oh my God now I have no reason to

believe it would be no reason at all

but I feel it

I feel it

well of course Alan dershowitz says

weighed in on the Trump charges

um he largely thinks that they're a

political joke and I love I love reading

the Democrats who are giving me a hard

time online

because they're quite they're quite sure

that with this many indictments oh my

God so many indictments uh I think

there's ten thousand now right ten

thousand indictments

or something 10 or 13 or 72 or some

number so therefore he's clearly a

criminal that's been proven by the

indictments

but of course indictments are easy to

get doesn't mean anybody is guilty and

uh dershowitz basically thinks the

charges are

political and ridiculous and will no

matter what happens in the lower courts

the Supreme Court will laugh at them and

toss them out and that's his prediction

now if you're a Democrat and you're not

one of the top lawyers of all time

don't you feel a little silly saying

that he's the walls are closing in they

got him this time as long as long as

dershowitz is over here saying no I'm

predicting this will all go away it

would you know will affect the elections

of course but in the end it's it's all

transparently obviously

weak and political and the Supreme Court

will just wipe it away like like what's

from their eye

terrible analogy

um so he also points out that Rico which

you know and of course dershowitz has

been everywhere this important in the

law so he's like his personal friend is

the one who invented the RICO the RICO

statues he knows everything about Rico

right and he says it wasn't meant

for political people doing political

stuff I mean it was meant for other

purposes it's been repurposed from Mafia

to some other things but it made sense

when they repurposed it he doesn't think

this this application of Rico

is going to stand the uh the full full

test to the Supreme Court I guess

um dershowitz points out and I haven't

heard this anywhere else that the judge

in this case uh lied in public no she

lied and everybody else knows she lied

as a it's basically going to be a test

develop or a trial about somebody lying

but anyway the judge said they they're

trying to wrap it up in six months and

dershowitz just laughs at that because

the other thing she said is that she's

going to try all the the many defendants

sort of simultaneously and dershowitz

points out with that many defendants you

could have 50 lawyers in the room just

for the defendants you know let's say

they have two apiece and 50 lawyers

dealing with every motion

so somebody could say something like I'd

like to move the venue and then somebody

else could say I like this venue

and all 50 of them would have to hammer

it out

so that you have a process that not only

can't be done in six months

but it's really really really really

obvious

that the judge was lying because nothing

could be done nothing of that complexity

could be done in six months under those

conditions it just can't happen it's

undoable

and and our

uh is it the prosecutor I was the judge

I think it was the judge wasn't

oh the D.A oh I'm being a manufactured

it was the D.A not the judge

thank you thank you D.A not the judge

that's that's an important correction so

the D.A who said it would be six months

not the judge all right thank you for

that that's that's the beauty of the

live format I love being a fact check in

real time

I think that really helps

all right

so the biggest I think one of the

biggest keys to this uh the Trump

charges

are that perfect phone call as he says

do you remember how many times you've

seen

um

uh

that we need to find eleven thousand

seven hundred eighty votes you've seen

that in the headlines you've seen it

from pundits you've seen it on the news

right so that's all true

because it's on the news it's quoted and

you've probably even seen or you've

probably even heard audio of him saying

it have you not

well I found out today that this was

always a rupar and I didn't know it

now if you're new to me a rupar are you

par refers to a video but it could apply

to audio as well in which you delete

part of it and here's the weird

characteristic of a rupar deleting part

of it

reverses its meaning reverses it it

doesn't just take a Nuance away it

actually reverses it right so for

example some rupars were the fine people

hoax if you take away the part where he

says immediately after he said find

people he said I'm not talking about the

neo-nazis they should be condemned

completely if we remove that which they

did it reverses the meaning from

disavowing Nazis which he said

explicitly

to complementing them and supporting

Nazis it's a complete reversal by

removing one part

likewise with the drinking bleach Oaks

when they remove the part before he

talks about it and immediately after

those are the two clarifications

the clarifications were that he was

talking about light being brought into

the lungs you know literally putting a

stent down there or something and

Shining Light on the lungs as a possible

disinfectant the news removed the

reference of light on both ends and he

made sure he put it on both ends so you

wouldn't be confused

so they removed it and reported it and

that changed it to he wants you to drink

bleach

now drinking bleach is not even similar

in any way to Shining Light down your

down your uh down your lungs now I'm

watching some some people who are

finding this out for the first time

imagine you're watching this live stream

right now and you're hearing this for

the first time

and I just saw somebody go LOL

sorry

this is really mind-bending if you

haven't heard it before here's another

one the uh over feeding the koi

the the fish in Japan

so the real video showed uh Hughes with

uh I guess it was President Abe

and or one of the presidents I forget

who it was I think it was Abe right and

the two of them were feeding koi fish by

throwing some you know bread or whatever

in and then when they were done Abe led

by dumping the rest of his fish food in

because he was done and then Trump also

dumped his in because he was Following

the Leader literally

when you cut out the part where Abe went

first the news showed that Trump was a

big old dope instead of feeding the fish

like a little at a time he just dumped

his fish food and

that's a that's a rupar

um

you remember the Covington kids video

you it looked like the teenager was

getting in the face of some Native

American oh my God that kid fooled me

fooled me for 24 hours

but it's because they clipped out the

part where it was the Native American

guy who was actually getting in the face

of the kid it looked opposite if you

take that out so the rupar remember that

the rupar doesn't just change like a

detail

it complete it completely changes the

story to an opposite or something that's

horrible horrible in the opposite

direction

right so in the drinking bleach hoax

Trump was actually ahead of the

scientists because he was aware of a

trial that was actually being trialed at

that time to see if light would work as

a disinfectant in the trachea in the

lungs so he knew something above the

scientists and the News reversed it to

not only did he know more about you know

that one little thing but that he was so

dumb he thinks you should drink bleach

now half of the country actually

believed all of those things and still

does half of the country believes all of

those things because a rupar video is

really persuasive

it's really persuasive

so it turns out that this uh find the

fight 11 780 votes was it just another

rupar and I didn't find that out until

today

is the day I found that out

can you believe it now I'll explain it

to you because you you might not be

aware of it I know for example Breitbart

did report this when it happened but I

think we lost you know if you ever knew

it you probably forgot it by now I did

um

here's his actual full statement so this

is on audio

we know this is his full statement

so look all I want to do is this I just

want to find 11 780 votes which is more

than we have because we won the state

which part did they take out

because we won the state

if you take out because we won the state

which is a very clear statement that he

believes that they're trying to take an

illegitimate result

look at it more closely

and come up with a legitimate vote

because he thinks he won

what part do they leave out every

time

because we won the state what is the

entire the entire trial is about his

State of Mind did he really believe he

won the state

or not

now this alone would not be evidence of

his state of mind because they could

just say he was lying but it is evidence

not not conclusive but it's more

evidence of

of uh exculp it's I would say this is

exculpatory

exculpatory am I using that word right

it's evidence that we should be given

the public and certainly the court but

we should be given this evidence from

the beginning because this is the part

that gives you context to explain what

you're saying imagine you heard only

this

I just want you to find eleven thousand

seven hundred eighty votes

does that satellite Mafia talk

yeah a little bit a little bit doesn't

it sounds a little bit like Mafi talk

it's not guaranteed it's Mafia talk but

you could easily imagine it right you

could imagine it now you add

because we won the state is that what

the mafia guy says does the mafia guy

does the mafia boss say I'd like you to

go get that thing that we legally own

hey uh I'd like you to go to the store

and get me some products

all right I'm gonna steal some products

for you no no here's the money

take the money

go to the store

pay for the products bring them to me

and the change too yes the change too

go to the store pay for the products

put them in a bag get a receipt bring it

to me

that's what they're accusing of

they're accusing him of asking for

something he is specifically calling out

as legal

that's the mafia talk he might go to

jail because of a rupar audio

which basically is biased the entire

world so that by the time you reach the

jury pool you're so polluted that it

wouldn't matter what you heard at that

point

yeah it goes to his intention and his

intention is completely different

if he says I think I won

can you find the evidence of that by

looking more carefully

completely different

are you using an analogy no I'm using

several different stories

yeah oh the mafia analogy is that an

analogy

let me think it's let me uh let me tell

you the right way to use an analogy in

the wrong way the wrong way to use an

analogy is that that's your argument

right now hold on people think I'm

busted I'm not

I've always said the same

analogy is a good way to introduce

introduce a concept

it's not how you win an argument

so I think I said very clearly that the

argument is that he said he believes he

won the state so that's the argument

so the argument doesn't need the analogy

the analogy is in case you didn't catch

the argument it's like it's like another

way to bring you into the argument it's

not the argument right

so I'm not winning any arguments by an

analogy I'm using them to further

clarify a situation that's that is a

proper use

the improper use is to say it reminds me

of something and therefore

that's not a proper use

all right

but look look at look how much you

learned today

um

uh so

let me

let me run something by you

can you imagine Trump giving some kind

of a speech or national address or

something as he's running for office in

which he simply lays out how the gears

of the machine work

he simply lays out how the Biden you

know crime family does their work even

if the end result is there's no criminal

liability

just lay it out in case you didn't know

this is how that's done then move on to

the media and say all right here's some

things and he could even use the Peter

Zan

um explanation that they don't collect

real news they're really an opinion

manufacturing entities just sort of

describe that world

people say yeah that's probably true and

just describe some of the other worlds

such as how did the Russia collusion

hoax so could you imagine Trump

running through each of the hoaxes

including and this would make you happy

pandemic related hoaxes

or bad behavior let's say

imagine him laying out all of the parts

and saying and why did this happen well

follow the money

here's how this happened why did this

happen

follow the money

you can see the gears of the machine so

imagine the hymn it doesn't have to be

Trump but imagine somebody just laying

out

how everything works

because remember Dave Chappelle actually

gave him credit once for doing exactly

that when Trump said the system is

rigged and the reason he knows you know

the whole political system is rigged and

the reason he knows is that he's part of

the rigging as a citizen he was donating

to things and using the system so even

even Chappelle

said you know at least he told you

honestly you know that that's worth

something he actually told you to your

face how this system works

I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of

that would you

a little more of that please

yeah but he's got to find I think he

also he probably has to find election

rigging

he has to kind of prove it now correct

me if I'm wrong

um isn't Trump didn't he say on someday

soon he's going to do a big uh election

speech on Monday right so on Monday he's

going to present I guess the information

now do you expect that the information

he presents

is going to hold up

to scrutiny

because I imagine it's more than one

claim right I assume he's going to give

you several claims

if he gave you one claim

like one really good claim

I would say his odds of being right are

much higher than if he gives you five

if he gives you five it's going to look

like laundry list persuasion as in well

none of these are proven but look how

many there are you know where there's

smoke there must be fire sort of thing

that would be persuasion

if he gives you one

he might have the goods

so that's the first thing you look for

look for the one that just just wins the

day because maybe there is one who knows

I don't know uh

if he gives you the one that's really

strong and then can't help himself and

he's got to mention all the other ones

that are not as strong

that's a waste of time

that's just gonna all that will happen

is the news will debunk the weak ones

they will ignore the strong one am I

right you all know it they will ignore

the strong one they'll debunk the weak

ones and they'll tell you that they're

done and they're all debunked right that

now Trump could also explain that

because that's how the gears of the

machine work

imagine you're giving the speech and

saying all right now here's the here's

how the gears of the machine work I've

given you five examples one of them I

believe is really solid watch the news

coverage tomorrow they're only going to

talk about the other ones which even I

tell you need more investigation these

are not guaranteed these are just red

flags but watch how they treat the red

flags as the one they debunk if they can

and they ignore my strong one

now he won't do that but you know you

can imagine he could

well that's that's going to be must

watch TV

do you think there's anything that would

stop you from watching trumps uh try to

pull off the third act because that's

the third Act

if he pulls it off

that's the third Act

I wouldn't put a big Bet On It

because I don't know it'll be as clean

as he gives a speech and that's his

third act and everything changes I doubt

that because the media will just you

know try to eviscerate him no matter

what he says but it could be

then maybe he starts a spark of

something that maybe somebody later can

prove is real

we'll see I wouldn't expect any major

change on Monday but it's so I mean I'm

so interested you know what is it that

after all of these fake claims fake

meaning unproven

uh after all the times that you know he

got his hopes up do you think that this

is the time of all times is this the

time he would come forth with okay we we

finally got the goods this would be the

time

unless you really have it

I mean it would be a hell of a a hell of

a gutsy play

if he didn't have the goods

but you know it's possible he could

think he has them and doesn't you know

you never know

um

yeah all right so YouTube uh the new uh

rules are that they can ban you for

Content that disagrees with the World

Health Organization or local Health

officials like the CDC

Michael schellenberger is pointing out

that it will censor you if you disagree

with the World Health Organization

think about that

do you realize that I would have been

censored

so when the World Health Organization

first said

um some stuff about masks and I tried to

debunk them

I would have been banned on YouTube

amazing

all right

but then um Michael shellenberger says

YouTube isn't a social media platform

it's a propaganda platform and I said to

myself huh I kind of like that framing

because by my count

your your account might be different but

my by my count there's only one there's

only one social media platform and the

rest are propaganda platforms they're

advertising in propaganda

but there's one that's actually social

media that's X yeah x x is at least

trying

to be a social media platform the other

ones are just

um

essentially propaganda platforms that

suck money out of your pockets

uh

and uh sell the advertisers

all right

yeah you don't tweet anymore you exclaim

or you post post is the most boring word

for it but I guess that's where we're

going with

all right ladies and gentlemen

um

more to Elon musk's point

if you looked at me a year ago and you

said how do you prepare for this live

stream I would say I read the news

and I collect the news and then I talk

about it with my own opinions

but lately I've realized that I've done

the show without ever checking the news

because I checked social media which you

know picks out pieces from the news and

often refers to the the actual news

source but

that's the only way this seems to make

sense do you know why

if you go to CNN and you see a story

you're going to see the CNN spin of the

story

is that useful is worse than negative

it's worse than nothing

it would be better if you'd never seen

it because it's a spin it's opposite of

news it's you know it's a sort of

managed news if you go to Fox News are

you ever going to see him agreeing with

CNN now you know they have their own

spin on things

so if you see either news

you've got to go to both sources and

make sure you've cross-checked your work

which I do all the time I show you that

that I like to see something's true on

both platforms before I'm sure it's true

if only one platform says it's true well

I don't know probably not maybe

um however

I've noticed lately I can spend all of

my time on Twitter because if there's a

story that makes my hair on fire like ah

did somebody really do or say that

there'll be a community note or there'll

be another human saying No this is out

of context you know this is what they

left out here's a link to the opposite

story so when I read Twitter

I get the news from both directions when

I read any platform other other

so-called news platforms I have to go to

at least two sources so I've seen both

sides but Twitter has it there

automatically you know that you can

always count on the trolls to come in

and give you as much trouble as possible

the trolls actually are kind of useful

because even when they don't say you

know factual arguments they give you a

sense of how people are feeling

they give you a sense of how basically

how brainwashed they are when you see

the trolls let's say the trolls were not

just saying a bad thing they're they're

trying to argue that politics

you you should feel sorry for them

because the trolls are the most

hypnotized brainwashed people

they're not coming at you with their

better arguments they're coming out with

you know TDS so you can see the effects

of brainwashing best on the trolls so

don't you don't want to get rid of the

trolls they're like this little

indicator of how bad the brainwashing is

because the more brainwashing more

trolls

all right

uh the trolls are the ones who say it

was an insurrection

yeah so if you didn't know from the

trolls that they actually believed there

was an Insurrection on January 6 or an

attempted one

um you would not necessarily think

that's even a thing

like your your brain would say well

nobody's going to believe

the Republicans do an Insurrection

without weapons

and then what have you gone down the uh

the January 6th well

so each of the arguments that are fake

fake narrative arguments they all have

what I call the well

so it goes like this let's see if I can

roughly do it without preparing

January 6 was an armed insurrection

and then I come in and say

there's no such thing as Republicans

doing an armed Insurrection without

firearms

but it was violent

all right so you're going nothing well

all right all right so yeah they didn't

all have weapons but a lot of people had

weapons

okay but nobody actually brandished a

gun right

but they had guns all those guns were

taken away from them they had guns they

had bear spray they beat people with

objects

right right right but what percentage of

those people were involved in that

well there's a lot of violence there was

a lot of violence here here's all the

examples of all I know I know but

with all the people there

what percentage of them were actually

doing something violent well you know

people got killed right right right

Ashley Babbitt got killed

and some of the police officers died

soon after and that's very tragic and

may have been in large part because of

it

tragic

or so you can just keep going down the

well

But ultimately they have to believe that

Republicans try to conquer the country

by trespassing in a building

you you take the trolls all the way down

to but ultimately what you believe

is that weapons or not violence or not

that the plan for Conquering the country

was to wander around in the building

what do they say after you get to the

bottom of the well and say but explain

explain how the rest of their plan went

so you trespass

and then you get the nuclear codes

and who delivers them does the guy who

carries the football actually knock on

the door and say it looks like we have

new leadership you trespassers which one

of you a guy with advice on the hat I

got the nuclear how can you connect the

dots

okay just just tell me how the plan was

going to work its this way out

when you get to the bottom of the well

and you get to that point what does the

troll say remember they're deeply

hypnotized these are not people

operating under reason they are

literally and I'm not I'm not saying

this for political

you know points or anything they're

actually brainwashed actually literally

brainwashed what do they do

well in my experience they say something

like

Well why'd your wife leave you

that's what I get

or I get why is your steps Undead

that's what I get

yeah when you get to the bottom of the

well it's pretty dark down there

right so if you don't have the stones to

go to the bottom of the well five times

a day you need to stay off Twitter I

spend a lot of time in the bottom of the

well

all right

that's all I got for today thanks for

watching YouTube it's the best show

you've ever seen or ever we'll see until

tomorrow

bye
