View segment →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
