Go.
Now, before we get into all the ugliness, because of course we're going to talk about Israel, I have a few topics before that. But I wanted to share with you something I shared in the man cave last night with my subscribers on Locals. And it's a difference between wanting something and deciding. And you'll see this distinction in a lot of places, and it's really important to have.
When you want something, you can see the pluses and the minuses of going after it. But you're seeing the minuses pretty strongly, and you say to yourself, ah, you know, I tried to do something but it was hard so I gave up. But when you decide to do something, it doesn't matter how hard it will be because you've already decided.
I noted there was an example of that as I'm playing with my technology here. I wanted to be able to livestream on multiple platforms using third-party software. But the first several times I tried it, I probably tried it, I don't know, five to ten times, and always I ran into some problem or complication. And I said, it's too much, too much work, too many problems, not going to do it.
So that's when I wanted to do it. I kept running into a problem and quitting. For years, actually. Every now and then I would just keep trying. But after YouTube did the last set of sketchy things — now I don't know what's real and what they're doing or what I just imagine they're doing, but whatever it was, it was sort of the too-far level — then I decided.
And it's amazing how easy things are when you decide. Because the problems don't look like problems anymore. They look like something you're going to solve. So as soon as I decided that no matter what it took, no matter how hard it was, no matter how embarrassing or frustrated it became, I was going to make it work on multiple platforms, which it is right now, and it's just astonishing how easy it became.
As soon as I realized that there was no alternative, I had already decided. And then I just lined up the problems and just knocked them down. So today I probably solved the sound problem. I turned up my light a little bit. I've got another camera ordered. I've got a new laptop ordered so I'll have better resolution in the camera. So there's nothing that will stop me at this point.
And so my advice to you is that when you find a situation and you're having trouble with it, ask yourself, is this something you want or is it something you decided? And then you'll know what's going to happen. You can predict your own actions after that point.
All right. Here's some fun stuff, then we'll talk about Israel. There's a new app that lets you see the Greek ruins like the Parthenon as they were before they were ruined. So you hold your phone up, and with your eyes you're seeing the real ruins, but at whatever you're pointing at, the app will turn it into the original version. How cool is that?
Imagine that being everywhere, where you could walk down any town, you could just hold your phone up and maybe dial it in to see what it looked like at any time in history. What did this look like 500 years ago? Oh, wow, cool. Now that is a cool app. I'm all about that.
Another application I saw that blew my mind, but I'm having trouble believing it. So Brian Roemmele took advantage of — and this is so clever it just kills me. I wish I thought of it — took AI, the large language model versions of AI, which is good at recognizing patterns of words and knowing what would come next in a certain pattern, and he applied it to redacted confidential documents. You know, the kind where half of the page is redacted, you know, it's covered up with black.
And the AI apparently can actually tell what's covered up because of the pattern of the other words that are not covered up. And apparently he's done numerous tests and he says we're in an all-new world now.
There are two parts to the story. Number one is that security and privacy may have been breached, so it might not be useful to have redacted things. But there's a way bigger thing to the story. How in the world does it know what those words are that are covered up by the other words that are not even in the same sentence? Apparently, because I don't think you could tell from the sentence itself. You probably have to tell from all the other words around it.
That says something about human intelligence that you're not going to want to think about for too long, because it certainly suggests that we're programmed and there's not much free will going on. If you can tell from the words you can see what must have been the words that you can't see, then how much free will did you have? It's just something to think about.
All right. Governor Newsom declined or rejected a law that would have made psychedelics decriminalized. So are you surprised? Governor Newsom of California, very progressive place, and he turned down a new law that would have decriminalized psychedelics.
Now, I did not see his reason for why, but I'm going to speculate it was probably just the details. There was probably something in the law that's not obvious that was unacceptable. So I don't think he turned it down because he has a problem. I'm just guessing. This is just speculating. I doubt he has a problem with the risk and benefits of psychedelics, because I'm sure he's pretty well informed. And I believe that the support for it is something like 60 percent, and in California it's probably higher.
So it's weird that he would do that while we imagine he might want to be president, because the public likes that one. They like it to be decriminalized. So I'm going to say it could be Big Pharma. It's possible Big Pharma got to him. But I think it's slightly more likely there was something wrong with the law. There might have been a poison pill in there, something else that they wanted that he didn't think was cool. So keep an open mind on that.
I just don't believe that Newsom would have said no to psychedelics given what we all know about them at this point. There had to be a trick.
All right. China's Communist Party expelled the former chairman of the state-owned Bank of China for being a big old criminal scumbag and doing lots of illegal things. So that was the state-owned Bank of China. They had a vote. He was a crook. And so they just kicked him out of the Communist Party.
How bad are things in China? I feel like China is so corrupt that I don't know how they can possibly go forward. I feel like corruption alone would just kill them. I just don't know how they could compete with us. Not that we don't have any corruption, but it seems more rampant there.
Now I've got a prediction, and this is also a test. It's a prediction-slash-public test. As you know, there were some prominent deaths recently in the United States of people who had criticized me on the X platform not long before they died. One was murdered with guns, another murdered with knives. Now, of course I don't think there's any causality there. Just a weird coincidence. But you never know. So let's test it.
So I'm predicting that President Xi of China is going to have a major health issue in the next six months. Major health issue, President Xi, in the next six months. Because I think the level of stress that President Xi is experiencing is probably unlike anything he's ever experienced. And that's pretty predictive of bad health. So we'll see. Am I psychic? Am I causing things to happen by my mental telekinesis? Well, let's find out.
If President Xi goes down in the next six months — I'm not predicting his death. I'm only predicting a major health problem. So we'll see.
All right. So you know our borders are basically open at the southern border. Well, everywhere, I guess, the borders are basically open. And guess how many people that are categorized as special interest aliens — no, not the kind from other planets, but the people illegally coming into the country — how many are called special interest aliens, meaning they came from some place that has such a high terrorism rate that we would not normally let them in the country at all. People would be too dangerous to be let in the country.
Eighty-six thousand of them in the last two years. Eighty-six thousand in the last two years. How many fighters have attacked Israel in the last day or so? About a thousand. About 1,000. So about 1,000 people is throwing Israel into chaos. About 86,000 people, any one of them who could have been terrorists, have come across our border in the last two years.
Do you think they're organized? Do you think that there's any large group of people who came here specifically to be sleepers until it was time to go? How could they not? Really, it's really hard for me to imagine a scenario in which there are not at least a few thousand people who are here to destroy the country. There's no way to know. But wouldn't it be weird if out of 86,000 people who all came from countries who are high likelihood of wanting to destroy the United States, and you think that none of them are terrorists? I would think it's thousands.
We may have thousands of people who are just waiting for the signal. Now, how much damage could thousands of people do if they were among the public and they just wanted to go out and do whatever the worst terrorist thing an individual could do? Pretty bad. Pretty bad if they're smart and organized.
All right. Mike Solana pointed out in a tweet — he just said it today, I think — that no other social media platform is relevant. Only X. You know, that's exactly what my experience was. I looked at the news, but the news appears to be behind the social media platforms. And so I could just stay on the social media, and if it pointed into a news thing I wanted to see, I could just go see it. But you don't really get a sense of what's going on by looking at the news sites today. You really would have to get the whole lay of the land from social media.
So this is a really, let's say, clarifying day for our media enterprises, because we no longer have regular reporting like we used to. The citizen reporting and the citizen videos are most of the story. So basically if you have what the government is telling you, press releases, and then you have video on the ground, you're 80 percent of the news right there. The other 20 percent I'm not even sure we'll see. Any other 20 percent it's going to be what the governments tell you and then what the video shows you of the people who are actually there. And that's about all we'll know.
Well, anyway, the big shocking part of the Israel situation now being attacked directly by Hamas is that it's a pretty good preview of America. So if you were to say what's the root cause of why Israel is at war, the root cause is that one group has been trained that another group has their stuff and they need to give it back at any cost. Right? One part of the population in that part of the world has been trained that the other part has their stuff and that the other part are not as worthy as you are because they're oppressors.
Now let me say, because I know there are going to be people on both sides of things, there are going to be people on both sides of things. Of course there's a story in the other direction, right? We're not going to do — I'm not going to do who's equivalent and who's worse than who. All right, I'm not going to do that. I do that. Let's just say there are some things that have happened in the Middle East in the last few thousand years. They're not exactly what you wish would have happened, and maybe you wouldn't have done it that way, but it is what it is at this point. You know, we're starting from this point.
So there are two groups that have stories about each other. But the more alarming story is that one has a story that they must go get their stuff back. And specifically their stuff is their land and whatever wealth they would have had if they stayed on their land. That would be their version. But of course Israel has its own versions.
To me this looks exactly like what we're heading toward, because CRT and ESG and DEI are teaching Americans that one group of Americans has the stuff that they stole from the other group of Americans. What's the logical outcome of that? It's Israel. It's where one group gets militarized and tries to destroy the other group. I don't know how it could go any other way, could it?
If one group is continually propagandized that there's a group nearby, like walking distance, there's another group that's within walking distance and they have all your stuff and they're bad and they're oppressors and they stole it. Right? So you're going to watch Israel do probably the only thing you can do in that situation that makes sense. You have to get away from those people who want bad things to happen to you.
Now that doesn't mean that every person who's not an Israeli citizen, it doesn't mean that most or even any of them are bad. It just means that it's a population you can't live next to because there's a very predictable outcome. So my guess is that Gaza will have to be at least dominated and occupied forever and maybe even eliminated. Not in terms of the people but eliminated in terms of a real estate destination, place that people live. So they might be expelled.
I think the whole thing will be turned into more of a prison camp than it already is. You know, some have said there are only two exits from Gaza. One of them is heavily guarded by Israel — apparently not as heavily guarded as it could be — and the other is heavily guarded by Egypt. And neither of them are friendly in a complete way. So some have said that Gaza is already a prison camp. I think it'll become more of one.
So that would be the obvious way that Israel is going to go. It will degrade the leadership there and their military assets and then will just take complete control. And it will live with that, whatever that looks like, because there's no other choice.
I've heard some people who are angry today say that Israel should just basically wipe out all the people in Gaza. But let me remind you there is one country on Earth that can't really do a holocaust on somebody else, right? Israel is not going to perpetuate an actual holocaust on other people. They can't. Right now maybe physically they could, but there's no way Israel would ever survive as a viable country if they invalidated the primary software upon which Israel was founded, which is never again. You can't have another holocaust.
Now obviously they're trying to prevent a holocaust on themselves. That's the number one thing that they're fighting to prevent right now. But they can't defend themselves by creating a holocaust on somebody else. There's no way that's a survivable situation for anybody. So they don't have that option. And maybe that's good. You know, some of you are going to argue with me, but it's not really an option.
But they do have an option of closing up Gaza forever and just saying, hey, we can't make this our problem. Yeah, good luck. So I think that's what's going to happen.
Here's the update. I've heard some estimates of 600 dead in Israel. Can we be perfectly matter-of-fact about the real world? All right, without the — let me give you some real world truth. If all 600 of those people were adult males, it would look like a Tuesday, right? Six hundred adult males dying for anything, whether it's war or anything else, we just don't get that worked up about because we're used to it. And men are seemingly more expendable. Like just psychologically we're used to sending young men to war and them not coming back.
However, that's not what's happening in this situation. By now have you all seen the video of the Israeli woman who is either unconscious or dead and nearly naked in the back of a truck with the Hamas fighters? Have you all seen that video? Some say she's German. Some say she's a German Jew. I'm not sure. Well, regardless, that video is going to have an effect.
And we've seen other videos that appear to show hostages being taken which include women. There might be some children, but I haven't seen any confirmed reports. Now first thing is don't believe any videos you see coming out of this situation. Don't believe any videos you see, right? So you know we're definitely going to get pranked and hoaxed by a number of videos. Some of them will be older ones. Right now there's an older video of Iran chanting death to America which yesterday I heard was them doing it right now. And then today I find out, oh no, that's old video. It's three years ago. So just be careful. There's going to be a video of other wars that people try to tell you is this one. And there will be videos of very old stuff that they try to tell you was happening now.
But here's the point. If the way that people come to think of this is that Hamas came over and kidnapped and raped women and took them back as hostages, all the rules are gone. So let me say it as clearly as possible. I'm not telling you my preference. This is not my preference. I'm just telling you as a basic matter of human nature that when you — if you were killing a whole bunch of adult men, both sides might be able to work that out later. They could maybe potentially — maybe not these two sides, but as a general statement, if two sides have killed a bunch of men on each side, mostly men, you can get over it.
But if Hamas came in and took women, whether they were citizens or soldiers or not, we're not going to look at that the same. That is now a whole different thing. And when you reach that level of risk and that level of evil and self-defense is involved for Israel, here's what you need to know. There are no rules in self-defense.
And what these latest videos and the actions of Hamas have done have removed any reason for Israel to act morally or ethically based on somebody else's opinion of what is moral or ethical. They have complete freedom now, except for a holocaust, right? They can't do something that definitely looks like a holocaust. There's no way they could do that. But they can do what they need to do, whatever that is, short of a holocaust. And it's not going to be pretty.
So I would say that, you know, of course international law is a big factor. And if you violate it you might have to pay. But they're not going to have to worry about their moral or ethical standing anymore. That question's been answered. If your women and children could be dragged away to be raped if you act in this way — and maybe less likely if you act in this way — you don't have to wonder which way it's going to go, right? You don't have to wonder which way it's going to go.
Once Hamas brought women into the equation, there's only one way it goes, which is Israel is going to solve this whatever it takes, short of a holocaust. They won't do that. But I do think they'll turn Gaza into a permanent prison camp basically. You know, they won't present it that way, but that's basically what it's going to be and has to be. I don't see any option. Do you? Does anybody see any alternative? It's not like you can make peace.
So if making peace isn't one of the options and a holocaust isn't one of the options, there is only one thing that can and will happen. Am I wrong? If you're wondering where this will end up, why are you even wondering that? It's not going to end up as a holocaust. They're not going to be able to really bulldoze it because there's no place for the people to go. They might prefer to do that but they're not going to do it.
So my guess is that Israel just got a lot bigger. And that's not a bad strategy for Israel. Every time Israel is attacked and, you know, let's say a big serious attack, they simply take the land of the attackers. It's a pretty good national strategy for growth. So there's that.
All right. I did see that video from the leader of Iran saying that death to America really only applies to the leaders. It doesn't apply to the people. They don't have a beef with the people, only the leaders. Which is actually not that different than what we say here about the Iranian people. Iranian people are awesome. I don't know if you know any, but if you ever want to meet some awesome people, the Persians slash Iranians, great people. You'll be very happy if you make the acquaintance of any. I recommend it.
So it's actually not about the people. The people in America don't have any beef with the people in Iran. And maybe it's the same way back. That's a very interesting situation.
All right. But it does make me wonder if Israel has now a free shot at the president of Iran, whose name I'm trying to avoid saying because I can never keep straight my kh's and my commies and K's. And how do you say his name? The Ayatollah. Well, they do have a president but they also have an Ayatollah. That's correct. The Ayatollah is in charge. What's his name? Death conversion for infidels. Yeah, that's only Ali Khamenei. Thank you. Is that the pronunciation or is it Khamenei? All right. Well, I'll have to learn that the next few days.
But would you say that Israel has a free pass to take out the leadership of Iran? I think so. Now the only reason not to do it would be strategic. Yeah, it would be strategic. But let me be very clear. If this were America and we knew that there was an individual who was primarily involved in funding it, we would kill him. You think we would care that he's the head of another country? No, we'd kill him right away.
If there were boots on the ground on our homeland, like actually armed people running around gunning down our citizens, and we knew where the person with the wallet was, no, we would kill him right away. I hope so. Don't you? Do you think we would hesitate to kill him if we knew that he was a cause of boots on the ground?
Now it's different if there's not boots on the ground, right? If stuff is blowing up, you're like, we'd sure like to kill this guy but it's going to cause more trouble than it's worth. But at the moment, what would be more trouble than a war on your territory, which is what Israel experienced? It can't get worse, can it?
So I've got a feeling that Israel is going to first get rid of the immediate threat. They're going to chase down the people in their country. Then they're going to lock down Hamas after killing as many of them in place as they can. They're going to put a wall around it. And then I think they're going to take a run at Iran's leadership. Because if they don't, I don't understand why not. Because they have moral and complete — it's pronounced K. Okay, I'll go with that.
All right. And again, don't assume you're seeing my opinions, okay? I'm telling you what seems likely and I'm just describing it. All right. Basically everything that's happening there is bad. And I'm not sure that there are a lot of good guys right there. There's a lot of stuff I could criticize everywhere. So I'm just telling you what's going to happen. You know that taking sides is kind of sketchy at this point. Although obviously we're taking sides with Israel. But that doesn't mean we would necessarily agree with 100 percent of what they do.
So let me make a distinction. While I might not agree with 100 percent of what Israel is about to do, I do agree that they have the ethical and moral free pass. I might not agree with it but I'm not going to say it's immoral or unethical. They got to do what they got to do when it comes to self-defense. You do what you got to do. And that's the situation they're in.
The chat, you see a lot of crazy chat people. Well, here's the first thing I would ask everybody to do. Try to dial down your bloodlust a little bit. Because I feel like the bloodlust isn't helping anybody. So even if you think it's the only solution, just remember that word solution. It has two meanings. So don't do the bad one.
All right. Let's talk about the conspiracy theories. Number one, do you think any of this was a diversion from Ukraine or a recognition that Ukraine wasn't going to be the big old wallet that it used to be for the military industrial complex? Do you think they're connected? I'm going to say no, they're connected because all the news is connected. But I don't think they're connected strategically or that anybody had a plan. I'm not seeing enough to suggest that these are connected except that they're big events. So one will distract from the other, etc.
But think about what happened since a week ago. A week ago Ukraine had this unlimited money flow from the United States, which is now at least temporarily stopped because they don't have any ability. Congress doesn't have the ability to do anything because they don't have a speaker. So they don't have access to money. And they were just pushed completely off the headlines in terms of attention. So they just lost all of their attention and all of their money.
Now who would have been able to predict that attention would be taken away? Russia could predict it. Do you think Russia is helping to start trouble in other places because it would help them in Ukraine? Well, it seems like they should be doing that. That would be an obvious play if they can get America's money and attention to go somewhere else. That'd be a good play.
But to me it really looks like maybe it was just the time that they were going to do this thing anyway. So I'm not sure that Russia was behind it. But I wouldn't be surprised if they had some encouragement about it. I don't know. But I need a fact check. Isn't Israel good with Russia? I thought Russia tried to play both sides in the Middle East. Hey, we don't hate you Palestinians. We don't hate you Israelis. So I don't see Russia as being an enemy to Israel. I don't see Putin being an enemy to Israel.
So I don't know that Putin would want to start trouble in Israel because doesn't Putin have his own Jewish population he has to worry about? That's the thing, right? My understanding is that Putin has always said the right things when it comes to Jews and Israel because he needs to not make any more enemies. So I'm going to say that it probably wasn't Putin. I don't think he was behind it.
Now let's talk about the $6 billion. Now the smart people will tell you that even though the six billion was earmarked for something specific, money is fungible, as we like to say. So if they got six billion that they didn't know they were going to get, then that would free up six billion they were planning to spend on those same things. So in theory it creates six billion even if they don't spend that six billion.
But do you think that six billion is the reason it happened now or that it really made any difference at all? My bet is it didn't make any difference at all. Unless the point of it was to embarrass Biden. If the point of it was to just stick a finger in Biden, say, la la la, you're such a bad leader. You negotiated a terrible deal. Your own people should get rid of you. But why would they do that? He's going to end up with Trump. So you wouldn't expect Iran to want to embarrass Biden because they can get what they want from him and Trump would probably be worse or whoever is a Republican.
So I'm going to say that the six billion did in fact give them more money for anything they wanted. But probably it didn't make a difference. The GDP of Iran is around 360 billion. They got six billion that they weren't expecting. Yeah, it's around 360 billion. Now that's the GDP. It's not how much cash they have to spend. But it gives you a sense of scale. The six billion is real money but they could have done this without the extra six billion.
So now how about the two-state solution? You know, the two-state idea was that someday, should peace ever be agreed, that Israelis and Palestinians could live side by side having divided up the land that was in dispute. I would say that's done. So I think Israel comes out ahead because their best situation is to not have a two-state deal if one of the states is trying to kill them actively. You know, if they had a real peace then a two-state solution would be ideal. But there are too many people within the state who want their demise and are willing to kill themselves to get it. You can't really live next to them.
So I think the idea of living next to them is over. Would you agree? I think that forever the two-state solution of living side by side with any group that would support what is happening, which is the attack, it's just not going to happen anymore. So there will be plenty of Palestinians living in that area but they just won't have their own country. There's no way that can happen now.
And so some would say that Israel's new approach to this, because it's self-defense, it's not anything else, is sort of get the away from them. Something like that. Because it's a group of people who have been brainwashed into thinking that they must kill the Israelis. So if you can't defeat them and you can't kill them all and you can't brainwash them and those options do not exist, your best option is to get the away from them as far as you can.
So I mean there's not much they can do but they can certainly make sure that they don't have their own country on their border. So they will definitely make sure there's never a Palestinian country that shares a border with them. I think they'll make sure that's happening.
Now do you think Hezbollah will get involved? I think they may have fired some missiles or something. But is Hezbollah going to start storming across the border? So if you're not familiar with the situation, Gaza's this little band of land that has Hamas in charge. But Hezbollah is up in Lebanon. So they're kind of surrounding Israel. And Hezbollah apparently is way more armed than Hamas. And you know they always act like they're just building up their army for some eventual big wave.
What happens if it's now? If Hamas is streaming over — allegedly a thousand fighters have gotten in. A thousand. That's a lot. And if Hezbollah comes across — and then I saw some videos that have low credibility but maybe that there were people in Jordan. The men who were lining up to march and to help the Hamas attack.
So could it be that what will really happen is that it will inspire the others who wanted to attack but didn't quite have a plan to do it? Would it inspire a three-pronged attack? And could Israel be overrun? Are there enough people all around them that even weapons won't help? Is it going to turn into a zombie apocalypse? Yeah, I don't think many Jordanians would do it but you could always find some little group of people willing to do just about anything.
And then the next question is, is all of this just to make it harder for Israel to have the Abraham Accords and to make peace with Saudi Arabia? Is all of this to keep Saudi Arabia from making peace, you know, formal peace with Israel? Could be. Could be. Possibly. It would make sense.
So of all the conspiracy theories, that one makes the most sense because the timing is suspicious. It's like, oh really, why now? Well this would be the perfect time to do it if you wanted Israel and Saudi Arabia to have a reason not to make peace.
But I feel like the Palestinians have not read the room correctly, or Hamas at least. Because here's how I read the room from a distance. And obviously I have no expertise in the Middle East. But from a distance it looks like Saudi Arabia is just done with the Palestinian problem. I think they're just like, you're on your own, guys. I don't think Saudi Arabia is going to blink.
Because the Crown Prince, for whatever flaws you would like to attribute to him — for murdering his critic, that's a big one — but he seems completely rational. And he seems dedicated to making Saudi Arabia a place of peace with their neighbors. I think he's the real deal in terms of a leader who's trying to do what makes sense and is rational and is not crazy for Saudi Arabia.
So having a leader that rational at the same time as a Netanyahu is probably the best case scenario. Because Netanyahu is a very rational guy. You could make a deal with Netanyahu. And I think the Crown Prince is likewise a very rational person who just wants what's good for his country. And what's good for the country is they're not at war. It's just obvious.
So I think they are two people who can make peace. Yeah, Egypt, I don't know enough about Egypt to have an opinion. But I don't think the Abraham Accords are going to fall apart because I think that this attack on Israel is so far above the line or it's just all over the red line that nobody's going to be confused or not understand. If Israel goes hard at it, everybody's going to understand that. Like how could Saudi Arabia ever have peace while the Palestinians are making problems left and right?
We could bribe Egypt maybe. Well this is also part of my larger point that Trump looks better every day he's not in office. How many of you have had the thought — and I know this is racist. I know this is racist. But how many of you have had the thought that Trump was right to ban all Muslims until he could, quote, figure out what the problem was?
Now it's racist. It's definitely racist. But do you remember my rule about self-defense? If you're doing it for self-defense you could be as racist as you want. Can I say that directly without being canceled? I am completely opposed to racism. I oppose it certainly at an individual level. I oppose it maximally. You shouldn't be treating people by their race or their religion or their gender, all those things, religion, etc. I said religion twice.
However that would apply to normal times and that would apply to following the law, right? So generally if you break the law you're going to have to pay for it. That does not conflict with the fact that when it comes to self-defense there are no rules. If it's self-defense you do what you have to do and then you deal with the fallout because of it. Now the fallout might be you broke the law. That's a pretty big fallout. But there's no moral or ethical problem with being completely racist to protect yourself.
Now you're going to say to me, Scott, what about the Japanese internment camps? Totally evil. Would you agree? I do. Yeah. I actually know people who were in the camps. Like I know them personally. Spent a lot of time with them. Totally evil. And in retrospect, was there any real risk? Probably not. There was probably, yeah, maybe some, but trivial.
So the reason it looks so extra evil, the Japanese internment camps, is not just because it was racist, super racist, but because it wasn't necessary. There was no indication it made anybody safer. Now that's just a gigantic oops, right? That's wrong on every level. It did not make you safer. It was super racist and it broke the law, broke the Constitution, broke everything.
Now suppose it had kept us safer. It didn't. But suppose it had. Well that's where it gets complicated, doesn't it? As far as I know there was nobody in the American Japanese population who were trained to want to take stuff from the white people or the Americans, let's say, of all races. They were not educated to be our enemies. They were never propagandized to be our enemies. They wanted to be here. They wanted to be American. They were actually propagandized to be our friends. And so they acted that way, right? They wanted to be part of the melting pot.
Now that group of people who wants to be part of the melting pot and have not been propagandized to be your enemy, putting them in an internment camp is the height of evil. It's the height of evil because you can't even imagine there's a positive element to it. There's no argument for it at all. They've been trained to be part of the melting pot. You can't get worse than that in terms of national behavior.
However, in the Middle East there are countries in which there are big pockets of people who have been propagandized, brainwashed into thinking that Americans among others are the enemy. Under that situation, with no regard to people's religion or their genetic makeup because that's not part of the question, are they part of a class of people who have been propagandized, meaning that the only thing that's wrong with them is the lessons they've learned? Nothing wrong with their skin color. Nothing wrong with their DNA. Nothing wrong with their chromosomes, right? There's nothing wrong with their culture per se except for this specific part.
Under those conditions can you be completely racist? The answer is yes, absolutely you can be completely racist if at the same time that's not the thing you're going after. Let me say that more clearly. You can be completely racist if that's not your intention. If your intention is just self-defense and it could be demonstrated that there's some large percentage of the population that has been trained, actually propagandized and trained to be your mortal enemy, yeah, you can block all of them. You can block the whole country even if they're all the same whatever ethnic group. No problem with that at all.
Now if there's no law against it in the United States, let's say, then you wouldn't be breaking the law. You would be protecting the country. You don't know how much but some. And it would be self-defense, completely morally and ethically defensible.
Where it goes wrong is if you say it's all Muslim countries because then you've got a problem. Because I don't believe that all Muslim countries are so similar that they would have large populations of people trained to be our mortal enemies. I mean if I go to any one of X, N countries, am I going to find that everywhere? Now you might have to say well there's always one or two. But yeah, well you know I know what the Quran says but we also know that there are a zillion perfectly good American Muslim people who are not looking to kill anybody, right?
So it doesn't matter what the Quran says. Imagine it matters what the people believe. And if they believe that the Quran is a book of peace, fine. That's all good.
So here's what Israel is going to teach us. Israel is going to teach us that you should never discriminate against people for their race or ethnicity or religion. And in fact Israel does a real good job of being an open society in which if you're a low-risk person they're not going to care about your religion or your ethnicity. You just have to be a low-risk situation.
And they're going to teach you that if it's a high-risk situation that your ethnicity and your religion are going to be irrelevant. And it might look like discrimination but that's not the intention. The intention would be just self-defense. Now would a lot of innocent people get killed? Yeah. Yeah. In every war lots of innocent people get killed. Nobody likes that but there's also not much you can do about it.
All right. So I would say that Trump's view that in the early days after — certainly when there was a lot of terrorism going on — his view that we should at least close the border for everybody who might be in the category of a problem until we can figure out who really is a problem was perfectly good commander-in-chiefing. As commander-in-chief that was exactly the right decision. It was racist but it was also allowable under that specific condition.
And by the way, just to clarify, I was completely against the rounding up of the Japanese Americans. These are not comparable, right? One group was not trained to be our enemies. So that was pure racism and that's 100 percent unacceptable.
All right. Nikki Haley won the news cycle by being the toughest. I think one of the things that Nikki Haley gets right is that if you're running as a woman for a job that's never had a woman and it's commander-in-chief is the big part of the job, that you've got to make it look like you're the toughest person in the room. So I think she cranks it up to 110 when maybe 95 was the right level. But in terms of getting attention during the election cycle she said this, among other things. This is not just an attack on Israel. This was an attack on America.
So that's pretty extreme. But then she says to Netanyahu directly, finish them. Finish them. She says it twice. Finish them. Finish them. Now what does that sound like? It sounds like kill them all. But that's presumably not what she means. I think she means finish them as a political and military power. But the way she delivered the line, she delivered the line like she was Arnold Schwarzenegger saying I'll be back. It was chilling.
And I said to myself, okay, you just sold me that you're not going to be soft. Completely sold. Because these are strong, strong words. Finish them. Because finish them is unambiguous, isn't it? That doesn't mean give them a black eye. That means we're now going to change the situation forever. And by the way Israel says that they're going to change the reality for 50 years, which means probably longer.
All right. So I would say she won on being the toughest there. I think Vivek has a problem because although his opinion on Israel was reasonable and defensible, which is at some point we should wean them off of American aid, I think that's more complicated because our aid is to help them buy our own military assets. So it's not exactly like direct aid. It's more like fascism on the American side. It's more like fascism because the government is acting like a marketer for the military contractors.
But anyway, just because he said we should figure out a way to let Israel pay its own way because they're a big successful country economically, he's going to look like he is weak on this. He's not. But when you compare it to finish them to, well you know maybe they should be on their own, you know that they don't sound the same.
So regardless of what is the reality of their opinions, that never matters for politics. The reality is how are we going to shortcut them, right? If every time you talk about Nikki Haley from now on you remind people she said finish them, she's the tough one, well then she wins. And if every time they talk about Vivek it's like, oh but he wanted to reduce support to Israel, which is not exactly what he's saying. He's saying they don't need it, which is different than reduce. So it's going to be harder to defend.
But all that's going to matter is what Trump says probably. And Biden just said the standard stuff presidents say. Has Trump said something that's not obvious like Israel has to hit back, blah blah blah? Has Trump done anything that wasn't just you knew he was going to say exactly that? I don't think so. I think everybody's acting on model right now.
Sam Harris, there's an audio of him I think he did it a while ago in which he was comparing the morality of what Israel does with its power to the morality of what their enemies do with their power. And I started to wonder after listening to it if Sam Harris has always been dumb and I just didn't realize it. Maybe I just didn't realize it. Because here was his argument.
He argues that you can tell how evil somebody is — I'm paraphrasing now — by if they had the power, if they had all the power, what would they do with it? Now he suggests that if the Palestinians had all the power, at least the militant ones, if they had all the power they would literally just kill everybody in Israel, all the Jews. Now I don't know that that's true but they do talk like that. So I'm going to say he's not wrong about that because that's the way they talk.
But he points out it's not the same on the other side. That Israel has the military dominance but they are not wiping out the Palestinians. So therefore you cannot make a moral equivalent. Because if the Palestinians had the power they would kill all the Israelis. They say it kind of directly. Israel does have that kind of power that if they wanted to they could but they don't do it. Therefore that's more moral.
That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life. Do I even have to give you an argument for that or are you all just nodding your heads like that's pretty stupid? It's just stupid. Israel can't wipe out a civilization. That's not one of the options. You can't look at them and say well they haven't done a holocaust themselves. Of course it's not an option.
So to act as if Israel has the option and so because they didn't use that option you can tell something about them, it's not an option. Now I will say that if they had the option I don't think they would use it. But that's a separate argument, right? I don't think they would. But it is not true that one of them has the power and one does not. They neither of them have the power to completely kill all the other people in a realistic sense. They have the military power but not realistically.
I decided to call MSNBC the anti-white news because that's all I see when I watch NBC, MSNBC. MSNBC is just a hundred different reasons to say white people suck. It's just anti-white people news. I feel like that's just what I'm going to call it from now on. Yeah, I did call it MSNPC but it's funnier to just call it the anti-white news because that's what it is anyway.
Did you know that in Sweden there are 61 no-go zones because of the Islamic extremists who live there? There are 61 places that unless you're Islamist you can't go there. 61. And apparently there are a number of people in the city of Malmo in Sweden shooting off fireworks celebrating the Hamas terror attack. So that's Sweden. So Sweden went the opposite direction of Trump and said, hey we're not a bunch of racists, come on in. And now they have 61 no-go zones.
So they got what they wanted there. Minneapolis and Detroit are no-go. Yeah, we have our own no-go zones for different reasons I guess.
RFK Jr. looks like he's set to announce on Monday a third-party run. And it's going to change everything where for a while you're not going to know who's the likely winner. Now that all the smart people are saying he's going to take votes away from Trump, which makes me think that's not true. Do you know why? Because all the smart people say it's true. Am I the only one who as soon as all the smart people say it's true immediately my brain says well I can eliminate that possibility. Whatever it is is not that. It's going to be something else besides that because all the smart people think it.
Here's what I think. They haven't factored in people's real life choices. I think people are saying if you're a Democrat, let's just work through this. If you're a Democrat you want to win first because you don't want Trump. So you want to win, win, win. Winning is all you care about. All right. And you think that if RFK Jr. gets in the race you couldn't directly vote for him and win. It would just let Trump win, right?
But what happens when it becomes obvious that Trump would beat Biden and that Biden has no chance, let's say even with RFK Jr. in the mix? Because I think there might be more regular Democrats than you think who would like to go to something less controversial. How would you like to have a president that there's a strong crossover, that the other party doesn't hate him completely?
You know at the moment you could pick any Republican at random and you could say what do you think of President Biden and they're going to have something negative to say. But could you ever imagine a president — and an RFK Jr. might be one — in which maybe only 80 percent of Republicans say he's terrible? That would be a big improvement because that would still give him a lot of operating room, right?
So I don't know. I don't know when's the last time we had that. If abortion is the top issue, is RFK pro-abortion? He is. So RFK is pro-abortion. So he would certainly lose all Republicans who have that as a top issue or anywhere near the top. But it's also a state's issue. So it could be that people will just say, ah, as long as he doesn't want to do a federal law, I think Republicans would say well just leave it to the state. We're good with that.
So he has a way to get there. He does have a way to win. He has a path to victory. And if you don't believe that I don't think you're paying attention. He definitely has a path to victory. But even more than that he has a path to being the kingmaker. The person who could decide to stay in or to get out. And that might be the choice of who wins. So that's pretty interesting.
Yeah, I do think that RFK Jr. is such a threat to the Republican people in power that they would do everything they could to stop him. But it's going to be interesting. And you know what the funny thing is? I keep hearing people criticizing RFK Jr. because he's just going to screw up everything for Democrats. Like he might just ruin the whole Democrat game. And I thought to myself there is nobody who has more legitimate moral and ethical right to screw up everything that he does. Like he's the guy. He has absolute right to just destroy the system and then maybe help rebuild it.
But I don't mind destroying our stuff because we're good at rebuilding. Some of our stuff needs to get destroyed. Demolition phase before rebuilding.
All right. Is there even a Democrat Party anymore? You know I feel like the Democrats that have the most power have morphed into a criminal enterprise which I don't see on the Republican side at all. There are clearly individual Republicans who do bad things that are illegal but it doesn't look coordinated. It looks like the Democrats have literally created a structure where their own people can have key jobs and then the corruption can be unchecked. That's what it looks like.
So I would say that RFK Jr. is going to look like the only Democratic party. That could be the frame that we start hearing is that RFK Jr. is running as a third party. It's called Democrat. That would be strong. I'm running as the only Democrat but I can't call myself that. I can't call myself the only Democrat because the party has this control and they're stopping people from competing. But I tell you I'm not part of the criminal enterprise. If you want a real Democrat I'm going to offer you that option. The rest of what they're calling Democrats are essentially a criminal organization and you should be destroying them, not voting for them if you're a real Democrat.
It's just I think he's got a killer argument. So we'll see.
There's a report by the nonprofit Society of Actuaries. We've been waiting for this, right? Trying to figure out about the excess deaths. Don't you want to know if the insurance actuaries are going to charge people differently if they've been vaccinated versus unvaccinated? Right? Because they're the ultimate, I would say, the jurors on what was more dangerous than what. Because the insurance companies in theory are just going to try to make money, right? They're not making money from pharmaceuticals. They're not making money from selling masks. They just want to know for sure who's more likely to die. That's all they need. We just need to know who's more likely to die and then we'll do the rest. We'll just charge based on that.
And their current thinking is that there were 34 percent more deaths — these would be the excess deaths above the expected baseline — so 34 percent more in the ages 35 to 44, you know the core of life, in the last three months of 2022. So around the time that vaccinations were rolling out, excess deaths started to climb. Is that because of that? Well the problem is there are lots of reasons why there would be excess deaths. We know there's more suicide. We know there was more overdoses. We know that people were less healthy. They got much fatter. So there's a whole bunch of reasons people should be dying and it would have started about the same time as the vaccinations because the lockdown started before the vaccinations. So we don't know that's the reason.
But what would be — this is a test of your analytical abilities, okay? If the one thing you know for sure — and I don't know this for sure but suppose the one thing you knew for sure is that right around the same time as the vaccinations, which as I remind you was also the same time we were getting fat and overdosing and committing suicide. So we had several reasons that happened about the same time.
If you knew there was a substantial difference in the excess mortality right around the time vaccinations were rolled out but as I said those other things were happening too, could you conclude with a high degree of certainty that the vaccinations were the problem? Yes or no? With a high degree of certainty? I see yeses. I see nos. Well, here most of the nos are correct. All right, the nos are correct.
Here's what you would want to study: the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated. And that's it. You can't study the average people. That will tell you nothing because there are too many things going on. But if you were to study separately vaccinated versus unvaccinated and by age group because you would want to separate that by age group, if that analysis caused the actuaries to say oh that's real and we're going to charge based on whether you're vaccinated or unvaccinated — because remember they can charge more if you smoke cigarettes, am I right? They do, right? If you smoke cigarettes they'll charge you more, won't they, for life insurance? Right? And it's not really easy to check up on that. I mean they could but it's not easy.
So couldn't you also charge more for people who are either vaccinated or unvaccinated depending what your actuarial numbers determined was more dangerous? Yeah. So the only thing I want to teach you is that looking at excess mortality, even if it started at the same time as the vaccinations, it doesn't tell you what you think it might. It doesn't. It's just not something you should rely on.
But if you actually saw numbers that you could think were accurate about the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated that would tell you everything. I believe. I mean you probably want to control it for age and obesity and stuff but basically just look at those two groups.
Now has anybody done that analysis? I haven't seen it. Have you? Why would nobody have done the one analysis that actually would make you confident you knew what was happening? What is it too hard? You think it's too hard to study that? I doubt it. It's not too hard. That info was reliable. They didn't have to ask and assumed unvaxxed if unknown. Okay I don't know about that.
And the other thing I would teach you is don't compare the United States to any other country. So as soon as you say compare to Sweden or compare to Africa or anything, none of that works. None of that works. We don't collect data the same way. There's just nothing that's the same. It's just too different in too many ways. It won't tell you anything.
So that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes my comments for today. I feel sorry for you and feel sorry for Israel especially and also the innocent people in Gaza who are going to pay a big price. But you're going to hear the same arguments just over and over all day long today. I hope I gave you something that was a little bit different but it's going to feel like a lot of the same all day long.
I'll tell you one thing that the situation in Israel — let's call it the war. Does this war have a name yet? The Gaza war or something. It's going to get a name. They're going to name it. But I'll tell you one thing it did. Yeah let's not call it World War III. One thing it did is it put our other problems in perspective, didn't it?
When you imagine what would it be like to know that armed terrorists are on your border and running through your city just gunning people down and that they might be there for days. It might last days. I mean how long does it take to catch a thousand people? Some of them are going to go into hiding and then just come back out as soon as the heat goes down, right? So it made a lot of my other problems seem completely unimportant. In fact when I was putting together my notes for today — you know if you were here at the beginning you know I started with just some scientific things and things like that. I didn't want to talk about those today. Like I did it to wait for people to get on the livestream and I did it so you didn't hear just nonstop negativity today. But I wasn't interested.
I'm normally totally interested. Oh new scientific thing, you know, new little study, new poll. They interest me. But in the context of watching Israel being overrun or at least attempted to be overrun, none of it feels important. Like Israel feels important today and nothing else does. Even Ukraine. I barely thought about it. It just changed everything.
No discussion about what leads to this? Well I think we all know what led to it, don't we? Yeah. I mean there's no mystery about what led to it.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to say goodbye on this platform. I hope my sound and lighting were better than yesterday. Thanks for joining and I will see all of you tomorrow. And I'll talk to the Locals people privately.
well well well it might be working can everybody hear me on uh your various platforms here today I don't see anybody complaining about the sound yet I think I upgraded the sound it should be better today all right how would you like to take your experience up to levels which have never been seen before well all you need is a cuper muger glass of tanker chelus sign a Cante jug or flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go now before we get into all the ugliness because of course we're going to talk about Israel I have a few topics before that but I wanted to uh share with you something I shared in the man cave last night with my subscribers on locals and it's a difference between wanting something and deciding and you'll see this distinction in a lot of places and it's really important to have when you want something you can see the the pluses and the minus of going after it but you're seeing the minuses pretty strongly and you say to yourself ah you know I tried to do something but it was hard so I gave up but when you decide to do something it doesn't matter how hard it will be because you've already decided and I noted there was a an example of that as I'm playing with my technology here I wanted to be able to live stream on multiple platforms using uh third party softare software but the first several times I tried it I probably tried it I don't know five to 10 times and always I ran into some problem or complication and I said H it's too much too much work too many problems not going to do it so that's when I wanted to do it I kept running into a problem and quitting for years actually I every now and then I just keep trying but after uh You.
Tube did the last set of sketchy things now I don't know what's real and what they're doing or what I just imagine they're doing but whatever it was it was sort of the uh it was the too far level and then I decided and it's amazing how easy things are when you decide because the problems don't look like problems anymore they look like something you're going to solve so as soon as I decided that no matter what it took no matter how hard it was no matter how embarrassing or frustrated it became I was going to make it work on multiple platforms which it is right now and it's it's just astonishing how easy it became as soon as I realized that there was no alternative I had already decided and then I just knock up the problems or you know line up the problems and just knock them down so today I probably solved the sound problem I turned up my light a little bit I've got another camera ordered I've got a new laptop ordered so I'll have a better resolution in the camera so there's nothing that will stop me at this point and so my advice to you is that when you find a situation and you're having trouble with it ask yourself this is this something you want or is it something you decided and then you'll know what's going to happen you can predict your own uh own actions after that point all right here's some fun stuff then we'll talk about Israel um there's a new app that lets you see the Greek ruins like the barnon as they were before they were ruined so you hold your phone up and you know with your eyes you're seeing behind it the real the real ruins but at whatever you're pointing at the app will turn it into the the original version how cool is that imagine that being everywhere where you can walk down any town you could just hold your your phone up and maybe dial it in to see what it looked like at any time in history it's like what did this look like 500 years ago oh wow cool now that is a cool app I'm all about that another another application I saw that blew my mind but I'm having trouble believing it so Brian romelli took advantage of and this is so clever it just just kills me I wish I thought of it uh took AI the large large language model versions of AI which is good at recognizing patterns of words and knowing what would come next in a certain pattern and he applied it to redacted confidential documents you know the kind where half of the page is redacted you know it's covered up with black and the AI apparently can act Ely tell what's covered up because of the pattern of the other words that are not covered up and apparently he's he's done numerous tests and he says we're in an all new world now there are two parts to the story number one is that um security and privacy may have been breached so it might not be useful to have redacted things but there's a way bigger thing to the story how in the world does it know what those words are that are covered up by the other words that are not even in the same sentence apparently because I don't think you could tell from the sentence itself you probably have to tell from all the other words around it that says something about human intelligence that you're not going to want to think about for too long because it certainly suggests that we're programmed and there's not much free will going on if you can tell from the words you can see what must have been the words that you can't see then how much free will did you have it's just something to think about all right Governor Nome uh uh declined or rejected a a law that would have um made psychedelics decriminalized so are you surprised Governor Nome of California very Progressive place and he turned down a new law that would have decriminalized psychedelics now I did not see his reason for why but I'm going to speculate it was probably just the details there was probably something in the law that's not obvious that was you know unacceptable so I don't think he turned it down because he has a problem I'm just guessing this just speculating I doubt he has a problem with the uh the risk and benefits of psychedelics because I'm sure he's pretty well informed and I believe that the support for it is something like 60% and in California it's probably higher so the it's weird that he would do that while we imagine he might want to be president because the public likes that one they like it to be decriminalized so I'm going to say it could be big Pharma it's possible big Pharma got to him but I think it's slightly more likely there was something wrong with the law there might have been a poison pill in there something else that they wanted that he didn't think was cool so keep an open mind on that I just don't believe that Newsome would have said no to psychedelics uh given what we all know about them at this point there was a had to be a trick all right uh China's Communist party has spelled the former chairman of the state-owned Bank of China for being a big old criminal scumbag and doing lots of illegal things so that was the state-owned Bank of China they had a vote was a crook and so they just kicked him out of the Communist Party how bad are things in China I I feel like China is so corrupt that uh I don't know how can they possibly go forward I I feel like corruption alone would would just kill them I just don't know how they could compete with us not that we don't have any corruption but uh it seems more rampant there now I've got a uh prediction and this is also a test it's a prediction SL public test as you know there were some prominent uh deaths recently in the United States of people who had uh criticized me on the xplatform not long before they died one was murdered with guns another murdered with knives now of course I don't think there's a cause any causality there just a weird coincidence but you never know so let's test it so uh I'm predicting that President XI of China is going to have a major health issue in the next six months major health issue president she and next six months because I think the the level of stress the president she is experiencing is probably unlike anything he's ever experienced and that's pretty predictive of bad health so we'll we'll see am I psychic am I causing things to happen by my mental telekinesis well let's find out if president XI goes down in the next six months I'm not predicting his death I'm only predicting a major health problem so we'll see all right um so you know our borders are basically open at the southern border well everywhere I guess the borders are basically open and guess how many people that are categorized as special interest aliens no not the kind from other planets but the uh people illegally coming into the country how many are called special interest aliens meaning they came from some place that has such a high Terror terrorism rate that we would not normally let them in the country at all people would would be too dangerous to be let in the country uh 86,000 of them in the last two years 86,000 in the last two years how many uh how many fighters have attacked Israel last day or so about a thousand about 1,000 so about 1,000 people is throwing Israel into chaos uh about 86,000 people any one of them who could have been terrorists have come across our border in the last two years do you think they're organized do you think that there's any large group of people who came here specifically to be sleepers until it was time to go how could they not really it's really hard for me to imagine a scenario in which there are not at least a few thousand people who are here to destroy the country there's no way to know but wouldn't it be weird if out of 86,000 people who all came from countries who are high likelihood of wanting to destroy the United States and you think that none of them are terrorists I would think it's thousands we may have thousands of people who are just waiting for the signal now how much damage could thousands of people do if they were among the public and they just wanted to go out and do whatever the worst terrorist thing you know an individual could do pretty bad pretty bad if they're smart and organized all right um Mike zovich pointed out that uh in a tweet he just said I think it was today and like that no other social media platform is relevant only X you know that's exactly what my experience was I looked at the news but the news appears to be behind the social media platforms and so I could just stay on the social media and if it pointed into a news news thing I want to see I could just go see it but you don't really get a sense of what's going on by looking at the news sites today you really would have to get you know the whole lay of the land from social media um so this is a really let's say a clarifying day for our media Enterprises because we no longer have regular reporting like we used to the the citizen reporting and the citizen videos are most of the story so basically if you have what the government is telling you press releases and then you have video on the ground you're 80% of the news right there the the other 20% I'm not even sure we'll see any other 20% it's going to be what the governments tell you and then what the video shows you of the people who are actually there and that's about all will'll know well anyway the uh the big shocking part of the Israel situation now being attacked directly by Hamas is that it's a pretty good preview of America so if you were to if you were to say what's the root cause of why Israel is at War the root cause is that uh one group has been trained that another group has their stuff and they need to give it back at any cost right one one part of the population in that part of the world has been trained that the other part has their stuff and that that the other part are not as worthy as you are because they're oppressors now let me say because I know there are going to be people on both sides of things they're going to be people on both sides of things of course there's a story in the other direction right we're not going to do I'm not going to do who's equivalent and who's worse than who all right I'm not going to do that I do that let's just say there are some things that have happened in the Middle East in the last few thousand years they're not exactly what you wish would have happened and maybe you wouldn't have done it that way but it is what it is at this point you know we're starting from this point so there are two groups that have stories about each other but the more alarming story is that one has a story that they must go get their stuff back and specifically their stuff is their their land and whatever wealth they would have had if they stayed on their land that would be their version but of course Israel has its own versions to me this looks exactly like what we're heading toward because uh CRT and ESG and Dei are teaching Americans that uh one group of Americans has the stuff that they stole from the other group of Americans what's the logical outcome of that it's Israel it's where one group it gets militarized and tries to destroy the other group I don't know how it could go any other way could it if if one group is continually propagandized that there's a there's a group nearby like walking distance there's another group that's within walking distance and they have all your stuff and they're bad and they're oppressors and they stole it right so you're going to watch uh Israel do probably um the only thing you can do in that situation that makes sense you have to get away from those people who want bad things to happen to you now that doesn't mean that every person in who's you know not an Israeli citizen it doesn't mean that most or even any of them are bad it just means that it's a population you can't live next to because there's a very predictable outcome so my guess is that Gaza will have to be at least dominated and occupied forever and maybe even eliminated not not in terms of the people but eliminated in terms of a real estate destination place that people live so they might they might be expelled I I think the whole thing will be turned into more of a prison camp than it already is you know some have said there there only two exits from G one of them is heavily guarded by Israel apparently not as heavily guarded as it could be and the other is heavily guarded by Egypt and neither of them are friendly uh in in a complete way so some have said that Gaza is already a prison camp I think it'll become more of one so um that would be the obvious the obvious way that Israel is going to go it will degrade the leadership there and their military assets and then will just take complete control and it will live with that whatever that looks like because there's no other choice I I've heard some people who are angry today say that uh Israel should just basically wipe out all the people in Gaza but let me remind you there is one country on Earth that can't really do a holocaust on somebody else right Israel is not going to perpetuate an actual Holocaust on other people they can't right now maybe physically they could but there's no way Israel would ever survive as a viable country if they if they invalidated the primary software upon which Israel was founded which is you know never again you can't have another Holocaust now obviously they're trying to prevent a holocaust on themselves that's the number one thing that they're fighting to prevent right now but they can't they can't defend themselves by creating a holocaust on somebody else there's no way that's a survivable situation for anybody so they don't have that option and maybe that's good you know some of you are going argue with me but it's not really an option but they do have an option of closing up Gaza forever and just saying hey we can't make this our problem yeah good luck so I think that's what's going to happen um here's the update I've heard some estimates of 600 dead in Israel uh can we can we be perfectly matter of fact about the real world all right without the let me give you some real world truth if all 600 of those people were adult males it would look like a Tuesday day right 600 adult males dying for anything whether it's war or anything else we just don't get that worked up about because we're used to it and men are men are seemingly more Expendable like just psychologically we're used to sending young men to war and them not coming back however that's not what's happening in this situation by now have you all seen the video of the uh the Israeli woman who is either unconscious or dead and nearly naked in the back of a truck with the uh Hamas Fighters have you all seen that video some say she's German some say she's a German Jew I'm saying here well regardless regardless that that video is going to have an effect and we've seen other videos that appear to show how hostages being taken which in include women there might be some children but I haven't seen any you know confirmed reports now first first thing is don't believe any videos you see coming out of this situation don't believe any videos you see right so you know we're we're definitely going to get pranked and hoaxed by a number of videos some of them will be older ones right now there's a VI there's an older video of Iran chanting death to America which yesterday I heard was them doing it right now and then today I find out oh no that's old video is three years ago so just be careful there's there's going to be a video of other Wars that people try to tell you is this one and there will be videos of very old stuff that they try to tell you was happening now uh but here's the point um if the way that people come to think of this is that the Hamas came over and kidnapped and raped women and took them back as hostages uh all the rules are gone so let me say it as as clearly as possible I'm not I'm not telling you my preference this is not my preference I'm just telling you as a basic matter of human nature that when you if you were killing a whole bunch of adult men both sides might be able to work that out like later they could maybe potentially maybe not these two sides but as a general statement if two sides have killed a bunch of men on each side mostly men you can get over it but if Hamas came in and took women whether they were citizens or soldiers or not uh we're not going to look at that the same that is now a whole different thing and when you reach that level of of uh risk and that level of evil and self-defense is involved for Israel here's what you need to know there are no rules in self-defense and what these latest videos and the actions of Hamas have done have removed any reason for Israel to act um morally or ethically based on somebody else's opinion of what is moral or ethical they have complete Freedom now except for a holocaust right they can't do something that definitely looks like a Holocaust there there's no way they could do that but they can do what they need to do whatever that is short of a holocaust and it's not going to be pretty so I would say that um you know of course international law is a big factor and if you violate it you might have to pay but they're not going to have to worry about their moral or ethical standing anymore that question's been answered if if your women and children are could be dragged away to be raped if you act in this way and maybe less likely if you act in this way you don't have to wonder which way it's going to go right you don't have to wonder which way it's going to go one once Hamas brought women into the equation there's only one way it goes which is Israel is going to solve this whatever it takes short of a holocaust they won't do that but I do think they'll turn uh Gaza into a permanent prison prison camp basically you know they won't they won't present it that way but that's basically what it's going to be and has to be I don't see any any option do you does anybody see any alternative it's not like you can make peace so if Making Peace isn't one of the options and a holocaust isn't one of the options there is only one thing that can and will happen am I wrong if you're wondering where this will end up why are you even wondering that it's not going to end up as a holocaust they're not going to they're they're not going to be able to really to bulldo it because there's no place for the people to go they might prefer to do that but they're not going to do it so my guess is that Israel just got a lot bigger and that's not a bad strategy for Israel every if every time Israel is attacked and you know let's say a big serious attack they simply take the land of the attackers it's a pretty good National strategy for growth so so there's that all right um I did see that uh video from the leader of B saying that that so death to America really only applies to the leaders it doesn't apply to the people they don't have a beef with the people only the leaders which is actually not that different than what we say here about the Iranian people Iranian people are awesome I don't know if you know any but if you ever want some want to meet some awesome people the Persians SL Iranians great people you you'll be very happy if you uh make the acquaintance of any I recommend it um so it's it's actually not about the people the people in America don't have any beef with the the people in Iran and maybe it's the same way back that's a very interesting situation all right but it does make me wonder if Israel has now a free shot at the president of Iran whose name I'm trying to avoid saying because I can never get I can never keep straight my kis and my commis and KES and how do you say his name the ayas oh well they do have a president but they also have an Ayatollah that's correct the AOL is in charge what's uh um death conversion for infidels yeah that's only um Ali K thank you is that Kam is that the pronounce pronunciation or is it kamini come many all right well I'll have to learn that the next few days but would you say that uh Israel has a free pass to take out the leadership of Iran I think so now the only reason not to do it would be strategic yeah it would be strategic but let let me be very clear If This Were America and we knew that there was an individual who was primarily involved in funding it we would kill him you you think we would care that he's the head of another country no we'd kill them right away if if if there were boots on the ground on our homeland like actually you know armed people running around gunning down our citizens and we knew where the the person with the wallet was no we would kill him right away I hope so don't you do you think we would hesitate to kill him if we knew that he was a cause of boots on the ground now it's different if there's not boots on the ground right if if stuff is blowing up you're like uh we'd sure like to kill this guy but it's going to cause more trouble than it's worth but at the moment what would be more trouble than a war on your territory which is what Israel experience it can't get worse can it so I've got a feeling that U Israel is going to first get rid of you know the immediate threat they're going to chase down the people in their country then they're going to lock down Hamas after killing as many of them in place as they can they're going to put a wall around it and then I think they're going to take take a run at Iran the leadership because if they don't I don't understand why not because they have they have moral and um complete it's pronounced K pronounced K okay I'll go with that all right and again uh don't don't assume you're seeing my opinions okay uh I'm I'm telling you what seems likely and I'm just describing it all right basically everything that's happening there is bad and I'm not sure that there are a lot of good guys right there a lot of there's a lot of stuff I could criticize everywhere so I'm just telling you what's going to happen you know that taking taking sides is uh kind of sketchy at this point although obviously we're taking sides with Israel but that doesn't mean we would necessarily agree with 100% of what they do so oh let me make a distinction while I might not agree with 100% of what Israel is about to do I do agree that they have the ethical and moral free pass I might not agree with it but I'm not going to say it's immoral or unethical they they got to do what they got to do when it comes to self-defense you do what you got to do and that's the situation they're in the chat you see a lot of crazy chat people well here's the first thing I would ask everybody to do try to dial down your blood lust a little bit because I feel like the blood lust isn't helping anybody so even if you think it's the only solution just remember that word solution it uh it's got two meanings so don't do the bad one all right let's talk about the uh uh let's talk about the conspiracy theories number one do you think any of this was a diversion from Ukraine or a recognition that Ukraine wasn't going to be the the big old wallet that used to be for the military industrial complex do you think they're connected I'm going to say no they're connected because all the news is connected but I don't think they're connected strategically or that anybody had a plan I'm not I'm not seeing I'm not seeing enough to suggest that these are connected except that they're big events so one will distract from the other Etc but think about uh what happened since a week ago a week ago Ukraine had this unlimited money flow from the United States which is now at least temporarily stopped because they don't have any ability Congress doesn't have the ability to do anything because they don't have a speaker so they don't have access to money and they were just pushed completely off the headlines in terms of attention so they just lost all of their attention and all of their money now who would have who would have been able to predict that attention would be taken away Russia Russia could predict it do you think Russia is helping to start trouble in other places um because it would help them in Ukraine well it seems like they should be doing that that would be an obvious play if they can get America's you know money and attention to go somewhere else that'd be a good play but to me it really looks like maybe it was just the time that they were going to going to do this thing anyway so I'm not sure that Russia was behind it but I wouldn't be surprised if you know they had some encouragement about it I don't know but I need a fact check isn't Israel good with Russia I thought Russia tried to tried to play Both Sides in the Middle East hey we don't hate you Palestinians we don't hate you you know Israelis so I don't see Russia as being an enemy to Israel I don't see Putin being an enemy to Israel so I don't know that Putin would want to start trouble in Israel because doesn't Putin have his own Jewish population he has to worry about that's the thing right uh my understanding is that Putin has always said the right things when it comes to Jews and Israel because he needs to he needs to not make it any more enemies so I'm going to say that it probably wasn't Putin I don't think he was behind it um now let's talk about the 6 billion now the smart people will tell you that even though the six billion was earmarked for something specific money is fungible as we like to say so if they got six billion that they didn't know they were going to get then that would free up six billion they were planning to spend on those same things so in theory it creates six billion even if they don't spend that six billion but do you think that six billion is the reason it happened now or that it really made you know any difference at all my bad is it didn't make any difference at all unless the point of it was to embarrass Biden if the point of it was to just stick a finger in Biden say la la la you're such a bad leader you negotiated a terrible deal your own people should get rid of you but why would he do that he's going to end up with Trump so you wouldn't expect Iran to want to embarrass Biden because they can get what they want from him and Trump would probably be worse or whoever is a republican so I'm going to say that the six billion did in fact give them more money for anything they wanted but probably it didn't make a difference the uh GDP of Iran is around 360 billion uh they got six billion that they weren't expecting yeah it's around 360 billion now that's the GDP it's not how much cash they have to spend but it give you gives you a sense of scale the six billion is real money but they could have done this without the extra six billion so now how about the uh two-state solution you know the the two-state idea was that someday should peace ever be agreed that Israelis and Palestinians could live side by side having divided up the land that was in dispute I would say that's done so I think is Israel comes out ahead because their best situation is to not have a two State deal if one of the states is trying to kill them actively you know if they had a real piece then a two-state solution would be ideal but there are too many people within the state who want their demise and are willing to kill themselves to get it you can't really live next to them so I think the idea of living next to them is over would you agree I think that forever the two State solution of living side by side with any group that would support what is happening which is the attack it's just not going to happen anymore so there will be plenty of you know um Palestinians living in that area but they just won't have their own country there's no way that can happen now and so some would say that Israel's uh new uh new approach to this because it's self-defense it's not anything else is uh sort of get the away from them something like that because it's a group of people who have been brainwashed into thinking that they must kill the Israelis so if you can't defeat them and you can't kill them all and you can't brainwash them and and you can't those options do not exist your best option is to get the away from them as far as you can so I mean there's not much they can do but they can certainly make sure sure that they don't have their own country on their border so they will definitely make sure there's never a Palestinian Palestinian country that shares a border with them I think they'll make sure that's happening now do you think Hezbollah will get involved I think they may have fired some missiles or something but is Hezbollah going to start storming across the border so if you're not familiar with the situation uh you know gaza's this little band of uh land that has Hamas in charge but Hezbollah is up in Lebanon so they're they're kind of surrounding Israel and the Hezbollah apparently is way more armed than Hamas and you know they always act like they're just building up their army for some eventual you know big wave what happens if it's now if Hamas is streaming over allegedly a thousand Fighters have gotten in a thousand that's a lot um and if hesah comes across and then I saw some videos that have low credibility but maybe that there were uh people in Jordan The Men Who were lining up to March and to help the uh Hamas attack so could it be that what will really happen is that it will Inspire the others who wanted to attack but didn't quite have a plan to do it would it inspire a thre pronged attack and could Israel be overrun are there enough people all around them that even weapons won't help is it going to turned into a zombie apocalypse yeah I don't think many jordanians would do it but you could always find something little group of people willing to do just anything um and then the next question is is all of this just to make it harder for Israel to have the Abraham Accords and to make peace with Saudi Arabia is all of this to keep Saudi Arabia from Making Peace you know formal peace with Israel could be could be possibly it would it would make sense so of all the conspiracy theories that one makes the most sense because the timing is suspicious it's like oh really why now well this would be the perfect time to do it if you wanted Israel and Saudi Arabia to have a reason not to make peace but I feel like the Palestinians have not read the room correctly or or Hamas at least because here's how I read the room from a distance and obviously I have no expertise in the Middle East but from a distance it looks like Saudi Arabia is just done with the Palestinian problem I think they're just like you're on your own guys I don't think Saudi Arabia is going to Blink because the the Crown Prince for whatever flaws you would like to attribute him for murdering his critic that's a big one um but he seems completely rational and he seems dedicated to making Saudi Arabia a place of peace with their neighbors I think he's the real deal in terms of a leader who's trying to do what makes sense and is rational and is not crazy for Saudi Arabia so having a leader that rational at the same time as a Netanyahu is probably the best case scenario because Netanyahu is a very rational guy you could you could make a deal with Netanyahu and I think uh um the Crown Prince is likewise a very rational person who just wants what's good for his country and what's good for the country is they're not at War it's just obvious so I think they are two people who can make peace um yeah Egypt I don't know enough about Egypt to have an opinion but um I don't think the Abraham Accords are going to fall apart because I think that this attack on Israel is so far above the you know the line or it just it's just all over the red line that nobody's gonna nobody's going to be confused or not understand if Israel goes hard at it everybody's G to understand that like how could Saudi Arabia ever have peace you know while the Palestinians are making problems left and right we could bribe by Egypt maybe well this is also part of my larger point that Trump looks better every day he's not in office how many of you have had the thought and I know this is racist I know this is racist but how many of you have had the thought that Trump was right to ban all Muslims until he could quote figure out what the problem was now it's racist it's definitely racist but do you remember my rule about self-defense if you're doing it for self-defense you could be as racist as you want can I say that directly without being without being cancelled I am completely opposed to racism I oppose it certainly at an individual level I oppose it you know maximally you shouldn't be you know treating people by their race or their religion or their gender all those things religion Etc I said religion twice however that would apply to normal times and that would apply to following the law right so generally if you break the law you're going to have to pay for it that does not conflict with the fact that when it comes to selfdefense there are no rules if it's self-defense you do what you have to do and then you deal with the Fallout because of it now the Fallout might be you broke the law that's a pretty big Fallout but there's no there's no moral or ethical uh problem with being completely racist to protect yourself now you're going to say to me Scott what about the Japanese interment camps totally evil would you agree I do yeah I've know I actually know people who are in the camps like I know them personally spent a lot of time with them um totally evil and in retrospect in retrospect was there any real risk probably not there was probably yeah maybe some but like trivial so the the reason it looks so extra evil the Japanese and tournament camps is not just because it was racist super racist but because it wasn't necessary there was no indication it made anybody safer now that's just a gigantic up right that's wrong on every level it did not make you safer it was super racist and you know it broke the law broke the Constitution broke everything now suppose it had kept us safer it didn't but suppose it had well that's where it gets complicated doesn't it if there there were no as far as I know there was nobody in the American Japanese population who were trained to want to take stuff from the the white people or you know the Americans let's say of all Races um they were not educated to be our enemies they were never propagandized to be our enemies they wanted to be here they wanted to be American they were actually propagandized to be our friends and so they acted that way right they wanted to be part of the Melting Pot now that group of people who wants to be part of the Melting Pot and have not been propagandized to be your enemy putting them in an internment camp is the high height of evil it's the height of evil because you can't even imagine there's a positive element to it there's no argument for it at all they've been trained to be part of the Melting Pot you can't get worse than that in terms of national behavior however in the Middle East there are countries in which there are big pockets of people who have been propagandized brainwashed into thinking that Americans among others are the enemy under that situation with no regard to people's religion or their genetic makeup because that's not part of the question are they part of a class of people who have been propagandized meaning that the only thing that's wrong with them is the lessons they've learned nothing wrong with their skin color nothing wrong with their DNA nothing wrong with their chromosomes right there's nothing wrong with their culture per se except for this specific part under those conditions can you be completely racist the answer is yes absolutely you can be completely racist if at the same time that's not the thing you're going after let me say that more clearly you can be completely racist if that's not your intention if your intention is just self-defense and it could be demonstrated that there's some large percentage of the population that has been trained actually propagandized and trained to be your mortal enemy yeah you can block all of them you can block the whole country even if they're all the same whatever ethnic group no problem with that at all now if there's no law against it in the United States let's say um then you wouldn't be breaking the law law you would be protecting the country you don't know how much but some and uh it would be self-defense completely morally and ethically defensible where it goes wrong is if you say it's all Muslim countries because then you've got a problem because I don't believe that all Muslim countries are so similar that they would have large populations of people train to be our mortal enemies I mean if if I go to you know any one of EXN countries am I going to find that everywhere now you might have to say well there's always one or two but yeah well you know I know what the Quran says but we also know that there a zillion uh perfectly good American Muslim people we not looking to kill anybody right so it doesn't matter what the cran says imagine it matters what the people believe and if they believe that the Quan is a book of Peace fine that's all good so here's here's uh what Israel is going to teach us Israel is going to teach us that you should never discriminate against people for their race or ethnicity or religion and in fact Israel does a real good job of being an open society in which if you're a low-risk person they're not going to care about your religion or your ethnicity you just have to be a low-risk situation and they're going to teach you that if it's a high-risk situation that um your ethnicity and your religion are going to be irrelevant and it might look like discrimination but that's not the intention the intention would be just self-defense now would a lot of innocent people get killed yeah yeah in every war lots of innocent people get killed nobody likes that but there's also not much you can do about it all right so I would say that Trump's view that in the early days after uh certainly certainly when there was a lot of terrorism going on uh his view that we should at least close the border for everybody who might be in the category of a problem until we can figure out who really is a problem was perfectly good commander-in chiefing as commander-in-chief that was exactly the right decision it was racist but it was also allowable under that specific condition and by the way just to clarify I was completely against the rounding up of the Japanese Americans these are not comparable right one group was not trained to be our enemies so that was pure racism and that's 100% unacceptable all right Nikki Haley won the new cycle by being the toughest I I think one of the things that Nikki Hy gets right is that if you're running as a woman for a job that's never had a woman and it's commanderin-chief is the big part of the job that you've got to make it look like you're um the toughest person in the room so I I think she cranks it up to 110 you know when maybe 955 was the right level but in terms of getting attention you know during the the election cycle she said this uh among other things um this is not just an attack on Israel this was an attack on America so that's pretty extreme uh but then she says to net you yaho directly finish them finish them she says it twice finish them finish them now what does that sound like it sounds like kill them all but that's presumably not what she means I think she means finish them as a uh political and military power but the way she delivered the line she delivered the line like she was uh Arnold Schwarzenegger saying I'll be back it was chilling and I said to myself okay you just sold me that you're not going to be soft completely sold because these are strong strong words finish them because finish them is unambiguous isn't it that doesn't mean give them a black eye that means we're now going to change the situation forever and by the way Israel says that they're going to change the reality for 50 years which means probably longer um all right so I would say she won on being the toughest there um I think V has a problem because although his opinion on Israel was reasonable and defendable which is at some point we should wean them off of American um Aid uh I think that's more complicated because our Aid is to help them buy our own military assets so it's not exactly like direct Aid um it's more like fascism on the American side it's more like fascism because the government is acting like a marketer for you know for the military or the military contractors but anyway just because he said we should figure out a way to let Israel pay its own way because they're a big successful company or they're a successful country uh economically um he's going to look like he is weak on this he's not but when you compare it to finish them to well you know maybe they should be on their own you know that they don't sound the same so regardless of what is the reality of their opinions that never matters for politics the reality is how are we going to how are we going to shortcut them right if every time you talk about Nikki hilly from now on you remind people she said finish them she's the tough one well then she wins and if every time they talk about vake is like oh but he wanted to you know reduce support to Israel which is not exactly what he's saying he's saying they don't need it which is different than reduce you know so it's going to be harder to defend but all that's going to matter is what Trump says probably and Biden just said the standard stuff president say has Trump said something that's not obvious like Israel has to hit back blah blah blah has Trump done anything that wasn't just you knew he was going to say exactly that I don't think so I think everybody's acting on model right now um Sam Harris there's a there's an audio of him I think he did it a while ago in which he was comparing the um the morality of what Israel does with its power to the morality of what their enemies do with their power and I started to wonder after listening to it if Sam Harris has always been dumb and I just didn't realize maybe I just didn't realize it because here here was his argument he argues that um you can tell how evil somebody is I'm paraphrasing Now by if they had the power if they had all the power what would they do with it now He suggests that if the Palestinians had all the power at least the um the militant ones if they had all the power they would literally just kill everybody in Israel stole the Jews now I don't know that that's true but they do talk like that so I'm going to say he's not wrong about that uh because that's the way they talk but he points out it's not the same on the other side that Israel has you know the military dominance but they are not wiping out the Palestinians so therefore you cannot make a moral equivalent because if the Palestinians had the pro had the power they would kill all the Israelis they say it kind of directly Israel does have that kind of power that if they wanted to they could but they don't do it therefore that's more moral that's one of the stupid things I've ever heard in my life do I even have to give you an argument for that or are you all just nodding your Els like that's pretty stupid it's just stupid Israel can't wipe out a civilization that's not one of the options you can't you can't look at them and say well they haven't done a holocaust themselves of course it's not an option so to act as if Israel has the option and so because they didn't use that option you can tell something about them it's not an option now I will say that if they had the option I don't think they would use it but that's a separate separate argument right I don't I don't think they would but it is not true that one of them has the power and one does not they neither of them have the power to completely kill all the other people uh in a in a realistic sense they have the military power but not realistically um I decided to call MSNBC the anti-white news because that's all I see when I watch NBC MSNBC MSNBC is just a hundred different reasons to say white people suck it's just anti-white people news I feel like that's just what I'm going to call it from now on yeah I did call it msnpc but it's funnier to just call it the anti-white news because that's what it is anyway um did you know that in Sweden there are 61 noo zones because of the Islamic extremists who live there there are six 61 places that unless you're islamist you can't go there 61 and apparently there are a number of people in the city of melmo in in Sweden shooting off fireworks celebrating the Hamas terror attack so that's Sweden so Sweden went uh went the opposite direction of trump and said hey we're not a bunch of racists come on in and now they have 61 no go zones um so they got what they wanted there Minneapolis and Detroit are no-go yeah we have our own no-o zones for different reasons I guess um RFK Jr looks like he's set to announce on Monday a third party run and it's going to change everything where for a while you're not going to know who's the likely winner now that all the smart people are saying he's going to take votes away from Trump which makes me think that's not true do you know why because all the smart people say it's true am I the only one who as soon as all the smart people say it's true immediately my brain says well I can eliminate that possibility whatever it is is not that it's going to be something else besides that because all the smart people think it here here's what I think they haven't factored in um they haven't factored in people's real life choices I people I think people are saying if you're a Democrat let's just walk work through this if you're a Democrat you want to win first because you don't want Trump so you want to win win win winning is all you care about all right and you think that if RFK Jr gets in the race um you couldn't direct directly vote for him and win it would just let Trump win right but what happens when it becomes obvious that that uh Trump would beat Biden and that Biden has no chance let's say even with RFK Jr in the mix because I think there might be more regular Democrats than you think who would like to go to something less controversial how would you like to have a president that there's a strong crossover that the other party doesn't hate him completely you know at the moment you could you could pick any Republican at random and you could say what do you think of President Biden and they're going to have something negative to say but could you ever imagine a president and an RFK junr might be one in which maybe only 80% of Republicans say he's terrible that would be a big Improvement because that would still give him a lot of operating room right um so I don't know I don't know when's the last time we had that um if abortion is the top issue is RFK pro-abortion he is so RFK is pro-abortion so he would certainly lose all Republican who have that as a top issue or anywhere near the top but it's also a state's issue so it could be that people will just say ah as long as he doesn't want to do a federal uh a federal law I think Republicans would say well just leave it to the state we're good with that so he he has a way to get there he does have a way to win he has he has a path to Victory and if you don't believe that I don't think you're paying attention he definitely has a path to Victory but even more than that he has a path to being the king maker the person who could decide to stay in or to get out and that might be the choice of who wins so that's pretty interesting yeah I do think that RFK Jr is such a threat to the uh Republican people in power that they would do everything they could to stop him but uh it's going to be interesting and you know what the funny thing is I I keep hearing people criticizing RFK Jr because he's just gonna screw up everything for Democrats like he might just ruin the whole Democrat game and I thought to myself there is nobody who has more legitimate moral and ethical right to screw up everything that he does like he's the guy he has absolute right to just destroy the system and then you know maybe help rebuild it but I don't mind destroying our stuff because we're good at rebuilding some some of our stuff needs to get destroyed demolition phase before rebuilding all right is there even a Democrat Party anymore you know I feel like the the Democrats that have the most power have morphed into a criminal Enterprise which I don't see on the Republican side at all there are clearly individual Republicans who do bad things that are illegal but it doesn't look coordinated it looks like the Democrats have literally created a structure where their own people can have key jobs and then the corruption can be you know unchecked that's what it looks like so I would say that RFK Jr is going to look like the only Democratic party that could be the frame that we start hearing is that RFK Jr is running as a third party it's called Democrat that would be strong I'm running as the only Democrat but I can't but I can't call myself that I can't call myself the only Democrat because the party has this control and they're stopping people from competing but I tell you I'm not part of the criminal Enterprise if you want a real Democrat I'm going to offer you that option the rest of what they're calling Democrats are essentially a criminal organization and you should be destroying them not voting for them if you're a real Democrat it's just I I think he's got a killer argument so we'll see um there's a report by the nonprofit Society of actuary we've been waiting for this right trying to figure out about the excess deaths don't you want to know if the insurance actuaries are going to charge people differently if they've been vaccinated versus unvaccinated right because they're the ultimate uh I would say the jurors on what was more dangerous than what because the insurance companies in theory are just going to try to make money right they're not making money from Pharmaceuticals they're not making money from selling masks they just want to know for sure who's more likely to die that's all they need we just need to know who's more likely to die and then we'll do the rest we'll just charge based on that and their current thinking is that uh there were 34% more uh deaths these would be the excess deaths above the expected Baseline so 34% more in the ages 35 to 44 you know the core of Life uh in the last three months of 2022 so around the time that vaccinations were rolling out excess tests started to climb is that because of that well the problem is there are lots of reasons why there would be excess deaths we know there's we know there's more um suicide we know there was more overdosis we know that uh people were less healthy they got much fatter so there's a whole bunch of reasons people should be dying and and it would have started about the same time as the vaccinations because the lockdown started before the vaccinations so we don't know that's the reason but um what would be this is this is a test of your analytical abilities okay if the one thing you know for sure and I don't know this for sure but suppose the one thing you knew for sure is that right around the same time as the vaccinations which as I remember remind you was also the same time we were getting fat and overdosing and committing suicide so we had several reasons that happened about the same time um if you knew there was a substantial difference in the excess mortality right around the time vaccinations were rolled out but as I said those other things were happening too could you conclude with a high degree of certainty that the vaccinations were the problem yes or no with a high degree of certainty I see yeses I see NOS well uh here most of the NOS are correct all right the nose are correct here's what you would want to study the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated and that's it you you you can't you can't study the average people that will tell you nothing because there too many things going on but if you were to study separately vaccinated versus unvaccinated and and by age group because you would want to separate that by age group if that analysis caused the uh actuaries to say oh that's real and we're going to charge based on whether you're vaccinated or not vaccinated because remember they can charge more if you smoke cigarettes am I right they do right if you smoke cigarettes they'll charge you more won't they for life insurance right and and it's not it's not really easy to check up on that I mean they could but it's not easy so couldn't you also charge more for people who are either vaccinated or unvaccinated depending what your Actuarial numbers determined was more dangerous yeah so the only thing I want to teach you is that looking at excess Mor mortality even if it started at the same time as the vaccinations it doesn't tell you what you think of this it might it doesn't not tell you that it's just not it's not something you should rely on but if you actually saw numbers that you you could think were accurate about the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated that would tell you everything I believe I mean you probably want to control it for age and obesity and stuff but basically just look at those two groups now um has anybody done that analysis I haven't seen it have you why why would nobody have done the one analysis that actually would make you confident you knew what was happening what is it too hard you think it's too hard to study that I doubt it it's not too hard that info was reliable they didn't have ask and assumed unvexed if unknown okay I don't know about that and the other thing I would teach you is don't compare the United States to any other country so as soon as you say compare to Sweden or compare to Africa or anything none of that works none of that works we don't collect data the same way there's just nothing that's the same it's just too different in too many ways it won't tell you anything so that ladies and gentlemen concludes my comments for today um I feel sorry for you and feel sorry for Israel especially and also the innocent um people in Gaza who are going to pay a big price um but you're going to hear the same arguments just over and over all day long today I hope I gave you something that was a little bit different but it's going to be it's going to feel like a lot of the same all day long I'll tell you one thing that uh the situation in Israel let's call it the war does this war have a name yet the Gaza war or something um it's going to get a name they're going to name it but I'll tell you one thing it did yeah let's let's not call it World War I um one thing it did is it put or other problems in perspective didn't it when you when you imagine what would it be like to know that armed terrorists are on your border and running through your city just gutting people down and that they might be there for days it might last days I mean how long does it take to catch a thousand people some of them are going to go to hiding and then just come back out as soon as the heat goes down right so it made a lot of my other problems seem completely important in fact when I was putting together my notes for today you know if you were here at the beginning you know I started with you know just some scientific things and things like that I didn't want to talk about those today like I did it to wait for people to get on the live stream and I did it so you didn't hear just non-stop negativity today but I wasn't interested I'm normally I'm totally interested oh new scientific thing you know new little study new poll they interest me but in the context of watching Israel being overrun or at least attempted to be overrun none of it feels important like Israel feels important today and nothing else does even Ukraine I I barely thought about it just changed everything no discussion about what leads to this well I think we all know what led to it don't we yeah I mean there's no mystery about what led to it all right ladies and gentlemen I'm going to say uh say goodbye on this platform I hope my Sound and Lighting were better than yesterday thanks for joining and I will see all of you tomorrow and I'll talk to the locals people privately
well well well it might be
working can everybody hear me on uh your
various platforms here
today I don't see anybody complaining
about the sound
yet I think I upgraded the sound it
should be better
today all
right how would you like to take your
experience up to levels which have never
been seen
before well all you need is a cuper
muger glass of tanker chelus sign a
Cante jug or flask of vessel of any kind
fill it with your favorite liquid I like
coffee and join me now for the
unparallel pleasure of the dopamine end
of the day the thing that makes
everything better it's called the
simultaneous Sip and it happens now
go
now before we get into all the ugliness
because of course we're going to talk
about Israel I have a few topics before
that but I wanted to uh share with you
something I shared in the man cave last
night with my subscribers on
locals and it's a difference between
wanting something and
deciding and you'll see this distinction
in a lot of places and it's really
important to have when you want
something you can see the the pluses and
the minus of going after it but you're
seeing the minuses pretty strongly and
you say to yourself ah you know I tried
to do something but it was hard so I
gave
up but when you decide to do something
it doesn't matter how hard it will be
because you've already
decided and I noted there was a an
example of that as I'm playing with my
technology here I wanted to be able to
live stream on multiple platforms using
uh third party softare software but the
first several times I tried it I
probably tried it I don't know five to
10 times and always I ran into some
problem or complication and I said H
it's too much too much work too many
problems not going to do it so that's
when I wanted to do it I kept running
into a problem and quitting for years
actually I every now and then I just
keep trying but after uh YouTube
did the last set of sketchy things now I
don't know what's real and what they're
doing or what I just imagine they're
doing but whatever it was it was sort of
the uh it was the too far level and then
I
decided and it's amazing how easy things
are when you
decide because the problems don't look
like problems anymore they look like
something you're going to solve so as
soon as I decided that no matter what it
took no matter how hard it was no matter
how embarrassing or frustrated it became
I was going to make it work on multiple
platforms which it is right now and it's
it's just astonishing how easy it became
as soon as I realized that there was no
alternative I had already decided and
then I just knock up the problems or you
know line up the problems and just knock
them down so today I probably solved the
sound problem I turned up my light a
little bit I've got another camera
ordered I've got a new laptop ordered so
I'll have a better resolution in the
camera so there's nothing that will stop
me at this point and so my advice to
you is that when you find a situation
and you're having trouble with it ask
yourself this is this something you want
or is it something you decided and then
you'll know what's going to happen you
can predict your own uh own actions
after that point all right here's some
fun stuff then we'll talk about
Israel um there's a new
app that lets you see the Greek ruins
like the
barnon as they were before they were
ruined so you hold your phone up and you
know with your eyes you're seeing behind
it the real the real ruins but at
whatever you're pointing at the app will
turn it into the the original version
how cool is
that imagine that being everywhere where
you can walk down any town you could
just hold your your phone up and maybe
dial it in to see what it looked like at
any time in history it's like what did
this look like 500 years
ago oh wow cool now that is a cool app
I'm all about that another another
application I saw that blew my mind but
I'm having trouble believing it so Brian
romelli took advantage of and this is so
clever it just just kills me I wish I
thought of it uh took AI the large large
language model versions of AI which is
good at recognizing patterns of
words and knowing what would come next
in a certain pattern and he applied it
to redacted confidential documents you
know the kind where half of the page is
redacted you know it's covered up with
black and the
AI apparently can act Ely tell what's
covered up because of the pattern of the
other words that are not covered
up and apparently he's he's done
numerous
tests and he says we're in an all new
world now there are two parts to the
story number one is that um security and
privacy may have been breached so it
might not be useful to have redacted
things but there's a way
bigger thing to the
story how in the world does it know what
those words are that are covered up by
the other words that are not even in the
same sentence apparently because I don't
think you could tell from the sentence
itself you probably have to tell from
all the other words around
it that says something about human
intelligence that you're not going to
want to think about for too
long because it certainly suggests that
we're programmed and there's not much
free will going on if you can tell from
the words you can see what must have
been the words that you can't see then
how much free will did you
have it's just something to think
about all right Governor Nome uh uh
declined or rejected a a law that would
have um made psychedelics
decriminalized
so are you surprised Governor Nome of
California very Progressive place and he
turned down a new law that would have
decriminalized psychedelics now I did
not see his reason for why but I'm going
to speculate it was probably just the
details there was probably something in
the law that's not
obvious that was you know unacceptable
so I don't think he turned it down
because he has a problem
I'm just guessing this just speculating
I doubt he has a problem with the uh the
risk and benefits of
psychedelics because I'm sure he's
pretty well informed and I believe that
the support for it is something like 60%
and in California it's probably higher
so
the it's weird that he would do that
while we imagine he might want to be
president because the public likes that
one they like it to be decriminalized so
I'm going to say it could be big Pharma
it's possible big Pharma got to him but
I think it's slightly more likely there
was something wrong with the law there
might have been a poison pill in there
something else that they wanted that he
didn't think was cool so keep an open
mind on that I just don't believe that
Newsome would have said no to
psychedelics uh given what we all know
about them at this point there was a had
to be a
trick all right uh China's Communist
party has spelled the former chairman of
the state-owned Bank of China for being
a big old criminal scumbag and doing
lots of illegal things so that was the
state-owned Bank of
China they had a vote was a crook and so
they just kicked him out of the
Communist
Party how bad are things in
China I I feel like China is so
corrupt that uh I don't know how can
they possibly go forward
I I feel like corruption alone would
would just kill them I just don't know
how they could compete with us not that
we don't have any corruption but uh it
seems more rampant
there now I've got a uh prediction and
this is also a test it's a prediction SL
public test as you know there were some
prominent uh deaths recently in the
United States of people who had uh
criticized me on the
xplatform not long before they died one
was murdered with guns another murdered
with knives
now of course I don't think there's a
cause any causality there just a weird
coincidence but you never know so let's
test it so uh I'm predicting that
President XI of China is going to have a
major health issue in the next six
months major health issue
president she and next six months
because I think the the level of
stress the president she is experiencing
is probably unlike anything he's ever
experienced and that's pretty predictive
of bad health so we'll we'll see am I
psychic am I causing things to happen by
my mental
telekinesis well let's find out if
president XI goes down in the next six
months I'm not predicting his death I'm
only predicting a major health
problem so we'll
see all right um so you know our borders
are basically open at the southern
border well everywhere I guess the
borders are basically open and guess how
many people that are categorized as
special interest
aliens no not the kind from other
planets but the uh people illegally
coming into the country how many are
called special interest aliens meaning
they came from some place that has such
a high Terror terrorism rate that we
would not normally let them in the
country at all people would would be too
dangerous to be let in the
country uh 86,000 of them in the last
two years
86,000 in the last two years how many uh
how many fighters have attacked Israel
last day or so about a thousand about
1,000 so about 1,000 people is throwing
Israel into
chaos uh about 86,000 people any one of
them who could have been terrorists have
come across our border in the last two
years do you think they're
organized do you think that there's any
large group of people who came here
specifically to be sleepers until it was
time to
go how could they not really it's really
hard for me to imagine a scenario in
which there are not at least a few
thousand people who are here to destroy
the country there's no way to know but
wouldn't it be weird if out of 86,000
people who all came from countries who
are high likelihood of wanting to
destroy the United States and you think
that none of them are
terrorists
I would think it's thousands we may have
thousands of people who are just waiting
for the
signal now how much damage could
thousands of people do if they were
among the public and they just wanted to
go out and do whatever the worst
terrorist thing you know an individual
could
do pretty bad pretty bad if they're
smart and
organized all right
um Mike zovich pointed out that uh in a
tweet he just said I think it was today
and like that no other social media
platform is relevant only X you know
that's exactly what my experience was I
looked at the news but the news appears
to be behind the social media
platforms and so I could just stay on
the social media and if it pointed into
a news news thing I want to see I could
just go see it but you don't really get
a sense of what's going on by looking at
the news sites today you really would
have to get you know the whole lay of
the land from social
media um so this is a really let's say a
clarifying day for our media Enterprises
because we no longer have regular
reporting like we used to the the
citizen reporting and the citizen videos
are most of the story so basically if
you have what the government is telling
you press releases
and then you have video on the
ground you're 80% of the news right
there the the other 20% I'm not even
sure we'll see any other 20% it's going
to be what the governments tell you and
then what the video shows you of the
people who are actually there and that's
about all will'll
know well anyway the uh the big shocking
part of the Israel
situation now being attacked directly by
Hamas is that it's a pretty good preview
of
America so if you were to if you were to
say what's the root cause of why Israel
is at War the root cause is that uh one
group has been
trained that another group has their
stuff and they need to give it back at
any
cost right one one part of the
population in that part of the world has
been trained that the other part has
their
stuff and that that the other part are
not as worthy as you are because they're
oppressors now let me say because I know
there are going to be people on both
sides of things they're going to be
people on both sides of things of course
there's a story in the other direction
right we're not going to do I'm not
going to do who's equivalent and who's
worse than who all right I'm not going
to do
that I do that let's just say there are
some things that have happened in the
Middle East in the last few thousand
years they're not exactly what you wish
would have happened and maybe you
wouldn't have done it that way but it is
what it is at this point you know we're
starting from this point so there are
two groups that have stories about each
other but the more alarming story is
that one has a story that they must go
get their stuff back and specifically
their stuff is their their land and
whatever wealth they would have had if
they stayed on their land that would be
their
version but of course Israel has its own
versions to me this looks exactly like
what we're heading toward because uh CRT
and ESG and Dei are teaching Americans
that uh one group of Americans has the
stuff that they stole from the other
group of Americans what's the logical
outcome of that it's Israel it's where
one group it gets militarized and tries
to destroy the other group I don't know
how it could go any other way could
it if if one group is continually
propagandized that there's a there's a
group nearby like walking distance
there's another group that's within
walking distance and they have all your
stuff and they're bad and they're
oppressors and they stole it right so
you're going to watch uh Israel do
probably
um the only thing you can do in that
situation that makes sense you have to
get away from those people who want bad
things to happen to you now that doesn't
mean that every person in who's you know
not an Israeli citizen it doesn't mean
that most or even any of them are bad it
just means that it's a population you
can't live next to because there's a
very predictable
outcome so my guess is that
Gaza will have to be at least dominated
and occupied forever and maybe even
eliminated not not in terms of the
people but eliminated in terms of a real
estate destination place that people
live so they might they might be
expelled I I think the whole thing will
be turned into more of a prison camp
than it already is you know some have
said there there only two
exits from G
one of them is heavily guarded by Israel
apparently not as heavily guarded as it
could be and the other is heavily
guarded by Egypt and neither of them are
friendly uh in in a complete way so some
have said that Gaza is already a prison
camp I think it'll become more of one so
um that would be the obvious the obvious
way that Israel is going to go it will
degrade the leadership there and their
military assets and then will just take
complete control and it will live with
that whatever that looks like because
there's no other choice I I've heard
some people who are angry today say that
uh Israel should just basically wipe out
all the people in
Gaza but let me remind
you there is one country on
Earth that can't really do a holocaust
on somebody else right Israel is not
going to perpetuate an actual Holocaust
on other people they can't right now
maybe physically they could but there's
no way Israel would ever survive as a
viable country if they if they
invalidated the primary software upon
which Israel was founded which is you
know never again you can't have another
Holocaust now obviously they're trying
to prevent a
holocaust on themselves
that's the number one thing that they're
fighting to prevent right now but they
can't they can't defend themselves by
creating a holocaust on somebody else
there's no way that's a survivable
situation for anybody so they don't have
that option and maybe that's good you
know some of you are going argue with me
but it's not really an option but they
do have an option of closing up Gaza
forever and just saying hey we can't
make this our problem yeah good
luck so I think that's what's going to
happen um here's the update I've heard
some estimates of 600 dead in
Israel uh can we can we be perfectly
matter of fact about the real world all
right without the let me give
you some real world truth if all 600 of
those people were adult
males it would look like a Tuesday
day right 600 adult males dying for
anything whether it's war or anything
else we just don't get that worked up
about because we're used to it and men
are men are seemingly more Expendable
like just
psychologically we're used to sending
young men to war and them not coming
back however that's not what's happening
in this situation by now have you all
seen the video of the uh
the Israeli woman who is either
unconscious or dead and nearly naked in
the back of a truck with the uh Hamas
Fighters have you all seen that
video some say she's
German some say she's a German Jew I'm
saying here well
regardless
regardless that that video is going to
have an effect and we've seen other
videos that appear to show how hostages
being taken which in include women there
might be some children but I haven't
seen any you know confirmed reports now
first first thing is don't believe any
videos you see coming out of this
situation don't believe any videos you
see right
so you know we're we're definitely going
to get pranked and hoaxed by a number of
videos some of them will be older ones
right now there's a VI there's an older
video of Iran chanting death to America
which yesterday I heard was them doing
it right now and then today I find out
oh no that's old video is three years
ago so just be careful there's there's
going to be a video of other Wars that
people try to tell you is this one and
there will be videos of very old stuff
that they try to tell you was happening
now uh but here's the point um if the
way that people come to think of this is
that the Hamas came over and kidnapped
and raped
women and took them back as
hostages uh all the rules are
gone so let me say it as as clearly as
possible I'm not I'm not telling you my
preference this is not my preference I'm
just telling you as a basic matter of
human nature that when you if you were
killing a whole bunch of adult
men both sides might be able to work
that out like later they could maybe
potentially maybe not these two sides
but as a general statement if two sides
have killed a bunch of men on each side
mostly men you can get over
it but if Hamas came in and took women
whether they were citizens or soldiers
or
not uh we're not going to look at that
the
same that is now a whole different thing
and when you reach that level of of uh
risk and that level of
evil and self-defense is involved for
Israel here's what you need to
know there are no rules in
self-defense and what these latest
videos and the actions of Hamas have
done have removed any reason for Israel
to act um morally or ethically based on
somebody else's opinion of what is moral
or ethical they have complete Freedom
now except for a holocaust right they
can't do something that definitely looks
like a Holocaust there there's no way
they could do that but they can do what
they need to do whatever that is short
of a
holocaust and it's not going to be
pretty so I would say that um you know
of course international
law is a big factor and if you violate
it you might have to pay but they're not
going to have to worry about their moral
or ethical standing
anymore that question's been
answered if if your women and children
are could be dragged away to be raped if
you act in this way and maybe less
likely if you act in this way you don't
have to wonder which way it's going to
go right you don't have to wonder which
way it's going to go one once Hamas
brought women into the
equation there's only one way it goes
which is Israel is going to solve this
whatever it takes short of a holocaust
they won't do
that but I do think they'll turn uh Gaza
into a permanent prison prison camp
basically you know they won't they won't
present it that way but that's basically
what it's going to be and has to be I
don't see any any option do you does
anybody see any alternative it's not
like you can make peace so if Making
Peace isn't one of the
options and a holocaust isn't one of the
options there is only one thing that can
and will
happen am I wrong if you're wondering
where this will end up why are you even
wondering that it's not going to end up
as a holocaust they're not going to
they're they're not going to be able to
really to bulldo it because there's no
place for the people to
go they might prefer to do that but
they're not going to do it so my guess
is that Israel just got a lot
bigger and that's not a bad strategy for
Israel every if every time Israel is
attacked and you know let's say a big
serious attack they simply take the land
of the
attackers it's a pretty good National
strategy for
growth so so there's that all right
um I did see that uh video from the
leader of B saying that that so death to
America really only applies to the
leaders it doesn't apply to the people
they don't have a beef with the people
only the leaders which is actually not
that different than what we say here
about the Iranian people Iranian people
are awesome I don't know if you know any
but if you ever want some want to meet
some awesome people the Persians SL
Iranians great people you you'll be very
happy if you uh make the acquaintance of
any I recommend it
um so it's it's actually not about the
people the people in America don't have
any beef with the the people in Iran and
maybe it's the same way back that's a
very interesting
situation all
right but it does make me wonder if
Israel has now a free shot at the
president of Iran whose name I'm trying
to avoid saying because I can never get
I can never keep straight my kis and my
commis and KES and how do you say his
name the
ayas oh well they do have a president
but they also have an Ayatollah that's
correct the AOL is in charge what's
uh um death conversion for infidels yeah
that's
only um Ali
K thank
you is that Kam is that the pronounce
pronunciation or is it
kamini come
many all right well I'll have to learn
that the next few days but would you say
that uh Israel has a free pass to take
out the leadership of
Iran I think so now the only reason not
to do it would be
strategic yeah it would be strategic
but let let me be very clear If This
Were
America and we knew that there was an
individual who was primarily involved in
funding it we would kill
him you you think we would care that
he's the head of another
country no we'd kill them right
away if if if there were boots on the
ground on our homeland like actually you
know armed people running around gunning
down our citizens and we knew where the
the person with the wallet was no we
would kill him right away I hope so
don't you do you think we would hesitate
to kill him if we knew that he was a
cause of boots on the ground now it's
different if there's not boots on the
ground right if if stuff is blowing up
you're like uh we'd sure like to kill
this guy but it's going to cause more
trouble than it's worth but at the
moment what would be more trouble than a
war on your territory which is what
Israel experience it can't get
worse can it so I've got a feeling that
U Israel is going to first get rid of
you know the immediate threat they're
going to chase down the people in their
country then they're going to lock down
Hamas after killing as many of them in
place as they can they're going to put a
wall around it and then I think they're
going to take take a run at Iran the
leadership
because if they don't I don't understand
why not because they have they have
moral and um
complete it's
pronounced
K pronounced K
okay I'll go with that all
right and again uh don't don't assume
you're seeing my
opinions okay uh I'm I'm telling you
what seems likely and I'm just
describing it all right basically
everything that's happening there is bad
and I'm not sure that there are a lot of
good guys right there a lot of there's a
lot of stuff I could criticize
everywhere so I'm just telling you
what's going to happen you know that
taking taking sides is uh kind of
sketchy at this point although obviously
we're taking sides with Israel but that
doesn't mean we would necessarily agree
with 100% of what they do so oh let me
make a distinction while I might not
agree with 100% of what Israel is about
to do I do agree that they have the
ethical and moral free
pass I might not agree with it but I'm
not going to say it's immoral or
unethical they they got to do what they
got to do when it comes to
self-defense you do what you got to do
and that's the situation they're in
the chat you see a lot of crazy chat
people well here's the first thing I
would ask everybody to do try to dial
down your blood lust a little
bit because I
feel like the blood lust isn't helping
anybody so even if you think it's the
only solution just remember that word
solution it uh it's got two
meanings so don't do the bad
one all right let's talk about the
uh
uh let's talk about the conspiracy
theories number one do you think any of
this was a diversion from Ukraine or a
recognition that Ukraine wasn't going to
be the the big old wallet that used to
be for the military industrial complex
do you think they're
connected I'm going to say no they're
connected because all the news is
connected but I don't think they're
connected strategically or that anybody
had a
plan I'm not I'm not seeing I'm not
seeing enough to suggest that these are
connected except that they're big events
so one will distract from the
other Etc but think about uh what
happened since a week ago a week ago
Ukraine had this unlimited money flow
from the United States which is now at
least temporarily stopped because they
don't have any ability Congress doesn't
have the ability to do anything because
they don't have a speaker so they don't
have access to money and they were just
pushed completely off the headlines in
terms of attention so they just lost all
of their attention and all of their
money
now who would have who would have been
able
to
predict that attention would be taken
away
Russia Russia could predict it do you
think Russia is helping to start trouble
in other
places um because it would help them in
Ukraine well it seems like they should
be doing that that would be an obvious
play if they can get America's you know
money and attention to go somewhere else
that'd be a good play but to me it
really looks
like maybe it was just the time that
they were going to going to do this
thing
anyway so I'm not sure that Russia was
behind it but I wouldn't be surprised if
you know they had some encouragement
about it I don't know but I need a fact
check isn't Israel good with
Russia I thought Russia tried to tried
to play Both Sides in the Middle East
hey we don't hate you Palestinians we
don't hate you you know
Israelis so I don't see Russia
as being an enemy to Israel I don't see
Putin being an enemy to Israel so I
don't know that Putin would want to
start trouble in Israel because doesn't
Putin have his own Jewish population he
has to worry
about that's the thing
right uh my understanding is that Putin
has always said the right things when it
comes to Jews and
Israel because he needs to he needs to
not make it any more enemies
so I'm going to say that it probably
wasn't Putin I don't think he was behind
it um now let's talk about the 6 billion
now the smart people will tell you that
even though the six billion was
earmarked for something
specific money is fungible as we like to
say so if they got six billion that they
didn't know they were going to get then
that would free up six billion they were
planning to spend on those same things
so in theory it creates six billion even
if they don't spend that six
billion but do you think that six
billion is the reason it happened now or
that it really made you know any
difference at all my bad is it didn't
make any difference at all unless the
point of it was to embarrass
Biden if the point of it was to just
stick a finger in Biden say la la la
you're such a bad leader you negotiated
a terrible deal your own people should
get rid of you but why would he do that
he's going to end up with
Trump so you wouldn't expect Iran to
want to embarrass Biden because they can
get what they want from him and Trump
would probably be
worse or whoever is a
republican so I'm going to say that the
six
billion did in fact give them more money
for anything they wanted but probably it
didn't make a difference
the uh GDP of Iran is
around 360
billion uh they got six billion that
they weren't expecting yeah it's around
360
billion now that's the GDP it's not how
much cash they have to spend but it give
you gives you a sense of scale the six
billion is real money but they could
have done this without the extra six
billion so
now how about the uh two-state solution
you know the the two-state idea was that
someday should peace ever be agreed that
Israelis and Palestinians could live
side by side having divided up the land
that was in
dispute I would say that's
done so I think is Israel comes out
ahead because their best situation is to
not have a two State deal if one of the
states is trying to kill them actively
you know if they had a real piece then a
two-state solution would be ideal but
there are too many people within the
state who want their demise and are
willing to kill themselves to get it you
can't really live next to them so I
think the idea of living next to them is
over would you
agree I think that forever the two State
solution of living side by side with any
group that would support what is
happening which is the attack it's just
not going to happen
anymore so there will be plenty of you
know um Palestinians living in that area
but they just won't have their own
country there's no way that can happen
now and so some would say that Israel's
uh new uh new approach to this because
it's self-defense it's not anything else
is uh sort of get the away from
them something like that because it's a
group of people who have been
brainwashed into thinking that they must
kill the
Israelis so if you can't defeat them and
you can't kill them all and you can't
brainwash them and and you can't those
options do not exist your best option is
to get the away from them as far as
you can so I mean there's not much they
can do but they can certainly make sure
sure that they don't have their own
country on their border so they will
definitely make sure there's never a
Palestinian Palestinian country that
shares a border with them I think
they'll make sure that's
happening now do you think Hezbollah
will get involved I think they may have
fired some missiles or something but is
Hezbollah going to start storming across
the
border so if you're not familiar with
the
situation uh you know
gaza's this little band of uh land that
has Hamas in charge but Hezbollah is up
in Lebanon so they're they're kind of
surrounding Israel and the Hezbollah
apparently is way more armed than
Hamas and you know they always act like
they're just building up their army for
some eventual you know big
wave what happens if it's
now if Hamas is streaming over allegedly
a thousand Fighters have gotten in a
thousand that's a
lot um and if hesah comes
across and then I saw some videos that
have low credibility but maybe that
there were uh people in
Jordan The Men Who were lining up to
March and to help the uh Hamas attack so
could it be that what will really happen
is that it will Inspire the others who
wanted to attack but didn't quite have a
plan to do it would it inspire a thre
pronged attack and could Israel be
overrun are there enough people all
around them that even weapons won't
help is it going to turned into a zombie
apocalypse yeah I don't think many
jordanians would do it but you could
always find something little group of
people willing to do just
anything
um and then the next question is is all
of this just to make it harder for
Israel to have the Abraham Accords and
to make peace with Saudi Arabia is all
of this to keep Saudi Arabia from Making
Peace you know formal peace with Israel
could be could
be possibly it would it would make sense
so of all the conspiracy theories that
one makes the most sense because the
timing is suspicious it's like oh really
why
now well this would be the perfect time
to do it if you wanted Israel and Saudi
Arabia to have a reason not to make
peace but I feel like the Palestinians
have not read the room correctly or or
Hamas at
least because here's how I read the room
from a distance and obviously I have no
expertise in the Middle
East but from a distance it looks like
Saudi Arabia is just done with the
Palestinian problem I think they're just
like you're on your own guys I don't
think Saudi Arabia is going to
Blink because the the Crown Prince for
whatever flaws you would like to
attribute him for murdering his
critic that's a big one um but he seems
completely rational and he seems
dedicated to making Saudi Arabia a place
of peace with their
neighbors I think he's the real deal in
terms of a leader who's trying to do
what makes sense and is rational and is
not crazy for Saudi Arabia so having a
leader that rational at the same time as
a
Netanyahu is probably the best case
scenario because Netanyahu is a very
rational guy you could you could make a
deal with Netanyahu and I think uh um
the Crown
Prince is likewise a very rational
person who just wants what's good for
his country and what's good for the
country is they're not at War it's just
obvious so I think they are two people
who can make peace um yeah Egypt I don't
know enough about Egypt to have an
opinion
but um I don't think the Abraham Accords
are going to fall apart because I think
that this attack on Israel is so far
above the you know the line or it just
it's just all over the red line that
nobody's gonna nobody's going to be
confused or not understand if Israel
goes hard at it everybody's G to
understand that like how could Saudi
Arabia ever have
peace you know while the Palestinians
are making problems left and
right we could bribe by Egypt
maybe well this is also part of my
larger point that Trump looks better
every day he's not in
office how many of you have had the
thought and I know this is
racist I know this is racist but how
many of you have had the thought that
Trump was right to ban all Muslims until
he could quote figure out what the
problem
was
now it's
racist it's definitely
racist but do you remember my rule about
self-defense if you're doing it for
self-defense you could be as racist as
you
want can I say that directly without
being without being
cancelled I am completely opposed to
racism I oppose it certainly at an
individual level I oppose it you know
maximally you shouldn't be you know
treating people by their race or their
religion or their gender all those
things religion Etc I said religion
twice
however that would apply to normal
times and that would apply to following
the law right so generally if you break
the law you're going to have to pay for
it that does not conflict with the fact
that when it comes to selfdefense
there are no
rules if it's self-defense you do what
you have to do and then you deal with
the Fallout because of it now the
Fallout might be you broke the
law that's a pretty big Fallout but
there's no there's no moral or ethical
uh problem with being completely racist
to protect
yourself now you're going to say to me
Scott what about the Japanese interment
camps
totally evil would you agree I do yeah
I've know I actually know people who are
in the camps like I know them personally
spent a lot of time with them um totally
evil and in retrospect in retrospect was
there any real
risk probably not there was probably
yeah maybe some but like
trivial so the the reason it looks so
extra evil the Japanese and tournament
camps is not just because it was racist
super racist but because it wasn't
necessary there was no indication it
made anybody safer now that's just a
gigantic up right that's wrong on
every level it did not make you safer it
was super
racist and you know it broke the law
broke the Constitution broke everything
now
suppose it had kept us safer it didn't
but suppose it
had well that's where it gets
complicated doesn't it if there there
were no as far as I know there was
nobody in the American Japanese
population who were trained to want to
take stuff from the the white people or
you know the Americans let's say of all
Races um they were not educated to be
our
enemies they were never propagandized to
be our enemies they wanted to be here
they wanted to be American they were
actually propagandized to be our
friends and so they acted that way right
they wanted to be part of the Melting
Pot now that group of people who wants
to be part of the Melting Pot and have
not been propagandized to be your enemy
putting them in an internment camp is
the high height of evil it's the height
of evil because you can't even imagine
there's a positive element to it there's
no argument for it at all they've been
trained to be part of the Melting
Pot you can't get worse than that in
terms of national
behavior however in the Middle East
there are countries in which there are
big pockets of people who have been
propagandized brainwashed into thinking
that Americans among others are the
enemy under that
situation with no regard to people's
religion or their genetic makeup because
that's not part of the question are they
part of a class of people who have been
propagandized meaning that the only
thing that's wrong with them is the
lessons they've learned nothing wrong
with their skin color nothing wrong with
their DNA nothing wrong with their
chromosomes right there's nothing wrong
with their culture per se except for
this specific
part under those conditions can you be
completely
racist the answer is
yes absolutely you can be completely
racist if at the same time that's not
the thing you're going after let me say
that more clearly you can be completely
racist if that's not your
intention if your intention is just
self-defense and it could be
demonstrated that there's some large
percentage of the population that has
been trained actually propagandized and
trained to be your mortal enemy yeah you
can block all of them you can block the
whole country even if they're all the
same whatever ethnic group no problem
with that at all now if there's no law
against it in the United States let's
say um then you wouldn't be breaking the
law law you would be protecting the
country you don't know how much but
some and uh it would be
self-defense completely morally and
ethically
defensible where it goes wrong is if you
say it's all Muslim countries because
then you've got a problem because I
don't believe that all Muslim countries
are so similar that they would have
large populations of people train to be
our mortal enemies
I
mean if if I go to you know any one of
EXN countries am I going to find that
everywhere now you might have to say
well there's always one or two
but yeah well you know I know what the
Quran says but we also know that there a
zillion uh perfectly good American
Muslim people we not looking to kill
anybody right so it doesn't matter what
the cran says imagine it matters what
the people believe and if they believe
that the Quan is a book of
Peace fine that's all good so here's
here's uh what Israel is going to teach
us Israel is going to teach us that you
should never discriminate against people
for their race or ethnicity or religion
and in fact Israel does a real good job
of being an open society in which if
you're a low-risk person they're not
going to care about your religion or
your ethnicity you just have to be a
low-risk
situation and they're going to teach you
that if it's a high-risk
situation that um your ethnicity and
your religion are going to be
irrelevant and it might look like
discrimination but that's not the
intention the intention would be just
self-defense now would a lot of innocent
people get killed yeah yeah in every war
lots of innocent people get killed
nobody likes
that but there's also not much you can
do about it all
right so I would say that Trump's view
that in the early days after uh
certainly certainly when there was a lot
of terrorism going
on uh his view that we should at least
close the border for everybody who might
be in the category of a problem until we
can figure out who really is a
problem was perfectly good commander-in
chiefing as commander-in-chief that was
exactly the right decision it was
racist but it was also allowable under
that specific
condition and by the way just to clarify
I was completely against the rounding up
of the Japanese Americans these are not
comparable right one group was not
trained to be our enemies so that was
pure racism and that's 100%
unacceptable all right Nikki Haley won
the new cycle by being the toughest I I
think one of the
things that Nikki Hy gets right is that
if you're running as a woman for a job
that's never had a woman and it's
commanderin-chief is the big part of the
job that you've got to make it look like
you're um the toughest person in the
room so I I think she cranks it up to
110 you know when maybe 955 was the
right level but in terms of getting
attention you know during the the
election cycle she said this uh among
other
things um this is not just an attack on
Israel this was an attack on America so
that's pretty extreme uh but then she
says to net you yaho directly finish
them finish them she says it twice
finish them finish them now what does
that sound like it sounds like kill them
all but that's presumably not what she
means I think she means finish them as a
uh political and military
power but the way she delivered the
line she delivered the line like she was
uh Arnold Schwarzenegger saying I'll be
back it was
chilling and I said to myself okay you
just sold
me that you're not going to be
soft completely sold because these are
strong strong words finish them because
finish them is unambiguous isn't it that
doesn't mean give them a black eye that
means we're now going to change the
situation forever and by the way Israel
says that they're going to change the
reality for 50
years which means probably
longer um all
right so I would say she won on being
the toughest there um I think V has a
problem because although his opinion on
Israel was reasonable and defendable
which is at some point we should wean
them off of
American um
Aid uh I think that's more complicated
because our Aid is to help them buy our
own military
assets so it's not exactly like direct
Aid
um it's more like
fascism on the American side it's more
like fascism because the government is
acting like a marketer for you know for
the military
or the military
contractors but
anyway just because he said we should
figure out a way to let Israel pay its
own way because they're a big successful
company or they're a successful country
uh
economically um he's going to look like
he is weak on this he's not but when you
compare it to finish them to well you
know maybe they should be on their own
you know that they don't sound the same
so regardless of what is the reality of
their opinions that never matters for
politics the reality is how are we going
to how are we going to shortcut them
right if every time you talk about Nikki
hilly from now on you remind people she
said finish them she's the tough one
well then she wins and if every time
they talk about vake is like oh but he
wanted to you know reduce support to
Israel which is not exactly what he's
saying he's saying they don't need it
which is different than reduce you know
so it's going to be harder to
defend but all that's going to matter is
what Trump says probably and Biden just
said the standard stuff president say
has Trump said something that's not
obvious like Israel has to hit back blah
blah blah has Trump done anything that
wasn't just you knew he was going to say
exactly
that I don't think so I think
everybody's acting on model right
now um Sam
Harris there's a there's an audio of him
I think he did it a while ago in which
he was comparing the um the morality of
what Israel does with its power to the
morality of what their enemies do with
their
power and I started to wonder after
listening to it if Sam Harris has always
been dumb and I just didn't realize
maybe I just didn't realize it because
here here was his
argument he argues that um you can tell
how evil somebody is I'm paraphrasing
Now by if they had the power if they had
all the power what would they do with it
now He suggests that if the Palestinians
had all the power at least the um the
militant ones if they had all the power
they would literally just kill everybody
in Israel stole the
Jews now I don't know that that's true
but they do talk like that so I'm going
to say he's not wrong about
that uh because that's the way they
talk but he points out it's not the same
on the other side that Israel has you
know the military dominance but they are
not wiping out the Palestinians so
therefore you cannot make a moral
equivalent because if the Palestinians
had the pro had the power they would
kill all the Israelis they say it kind
of
directly Israel does have that kind of
power that if they wanted to they could
but they don't do it therefore that's
more
moral that's one of the stupid
things I've ever heard in my life do I
even have to give you an argument for
that or are you all just nodding your
Els like that's pretty
stupid it's just
stupid Israel can't wipe out a
civilization that's not one of the
options
you can't you can't look at them and say
well they haven't done a holocaust
themselves of course it's not an option
so to act as if Israel has the option
and so because they didn't use that
option you can tell something about
them it's not an
option now I will say that if they had
the option I don't think they would use
it but that's a separate separate
argument right I don't I don't think
they
would but it is not true that one of
them has the power and one does not they
neither of them have the power to
completely kill all the other
people uh in a in a realistic sense they
have the military power but not
realistically um I decided to call MSNBC
the anti-white
news because that's all I see when I
watch NBC MSNBC MSNBC is just a hundred
different reasons to say white people
suck it's just anti-white people news I
feel like that's just what I'm going to
call it from now on yeah I did call it
msnpc but it's funnier to just call it
the anti-white news because that's what
it
is anyway
um did you know that in Sweden there are
61 noo zones because of the Islamic
extremists who live there there are six
61 places that unless you're islamist
you can't go there
61 and apparently there are a number of
people in the city of melmo in in Sweden
shooting off fireworks celebrating the
Hamas terror
attack so that's Sweden so Sweden went
uh went the opposite direction of trump
and said hey we're not a bunch of
racists come on in and now they have 61
no go
zones um so they got what they wanted
there Minneapolis and Detroit are no-go
yeah we have our own no-o zones for
different reasons I
guess um RFK Jr looks like he's set to
announce on Monday a third party
run and it's going to change
everything where for a while you're not
going to know who's the likely
winner now that all the smart people are
saying he's going to take votes away
from
Trump which makes me think that's not
true do you know why because all the
smart people say it's
true am I the only one who as soon as
all the smart people say it's true
immediately my brain says well I can
eliminate that
possibility whatever it is is not that
it's going to be something else besides
that because all the smart people think
it here here's what I think they haven't
factored
in um they haven't factored in people's
real life
choices I people I think people are
saying if you're a Democrat let's just
walk work through this if you're a
Democrat you want to win first because
you don't want Trump so you want to win
win win winning is all you care about
all right and you think that if RFK Jr
gets in the
race um you couldn't direct directly
vote for him and win it would just let
Trump win right but what happens when it
becomes
obvious that that uh Trump would beat
Biden and that Biden has no
chance let's say even with RFK Jr in the
mix because I think there might be more
regular Democrats than you think who
would like to go to something less
controversial how would you like to have
a
president that there's a strong
crossover that the other party doesn't
hate him completely you know at the
moment you could you could pick any
Republican at random and you could say
what do you think of President Biden and
they're going to have something negative
to
say but could you ever imagine a
president and an RFK junr might be one
in which maybe only 80% of Republicans
say he's
terrible that would be a big Improvement
because that would still give him a lot
of operating room right
um so I don't know I don't know when's
the last time we had
that um if abortion is the top issue is
RFK pro-abortion he is so RFK is
pro-abortion so he would certainly lose
all Republican who have that as a top
issue or anywhere near the
top
but it's also a state's issue so it
could be that people will just say ah as
long as he doesn't want to do a federal
uh a federal
law I think Republicans would say well
just leave it to the state we're good
with that so he he has a way to get
there he does have a way to win he has
he has a path to Victory and if you
don't believe that
I don't think you're paying
attention he definitely has a path to
Victory but even more than that he has a
path to being the king maker the person
who could decide to stay in or to get
out and that might be the choice of who
wins so that's pretty
interesting yeah I do think that RFK Jr
is such a threat to the uh Republican
people in power that they would do
everything they could to stop
him but uh it's going to be
interesting and you know what the funny
thing is I I keep hearing people
criticizing RFK Jr because he's just
gonna screw up everything for Democrats
like he might just ruin the whole
Democrat game and I thought to
myself there is nobody who has more
legitimate moral and ethical right to
screw up everything that he
does like he's the guy he has absolute
right to just destroy the system and
then you know maybe help rebuild it but
I don't mind destroying our stuff
because we're good at rebuilding some
some of our stuff needs to get destroyed
demolition phase before
rebuilding all
right is there even a Democrat Party
anymore you know I feel like the the
Democrats that have the most power have
morphed into a criminal
Enterprise which I don't see on the
Republican side at all there are clearly
individual Republicans who do bad things
that are
illegal but it doesn't look coordinated
it looks like the Democrats have
literally created a structure where
their own people can have key jobs and
then the corruption can be you know
unchecked that's what it looks like so I
would say that RFK Jr is going to look
like the only Democratic
party that could be the frame that we
start hearing is that RFK Jr is running
as a third party it's called
Democrat that would be strong I'm
running as the only Democrat but I can't
but I can't call myself that I can't
call myself the only Democrat because
the party has this control and they're
stopping people from competing
but I tell you I'm not part of the
criminal
Enterprise if you want a real Democrat
I'm going to offer you that
option the rest of what they're calling
Democrats are essentially a criminal
organization and you should be
destroying them not voting for them if
you're a real
Democrat it's just I I think he's got a
killer
argument so we'll see um there's a
report by the nonprofit Society of
actuary we've been waiting for this
right trying to figure out about the
excess deaths don't you want to know if
the insurance
actuaries are going to charge people
differently if they've been vaccinated
versus
unvaccinated right because they're the
ultimate uh I would say the jurors on
what was more dangerous than what
because the insurance companies in
theory are just going to try to make
money right they're not making money
from Pharmaceuticals they're not making
money from selling masks they just want
to know for sure who's more likely to
die that's all they need we just need to
know who's more likely to die and then
we'll do the rest we'll just charge
based on that and their current thinking
is that uh there were 34%
more uh deaths these would be the excess
deaths above the expected Baseline so
34% more in the ages 35 to 44 you know
the core of Life uh in the last three
months of
2022 so around the time that
vaccinations were rolling out excess
tests started to climb is that because
of that well the problem is there are
lots of reasons why there would be
excess deaths we know there's we know
there's more um suicide we know there
was more
overdosis we know that uh people were
less healthy they got much fatter so
there's a whole bunch of reasons people
should be dying and and it would have
started about the same time as the
vaccinations because the lockdown
started before the
vaccinations so we don't know that's the
reason but um what would be this is this
is a test of your analytical abilities
okay if the one thing you know for sure
and I don't know this for sure but
suppose the one thing you knew for sure
is that right around the same time as
the vaccinations which as I remember
remind you was also the same time we
were getting fat and overdosing and
committing suicide so we had several
reasons that happened about the same
time um if you knew there was a
substantial difference in the excess
mortality right around the time
vaccinations were rolled out but as I
said those other things were happening
too could you conclude with a high
degree of certainty that the
vaccinations were the
problem yes or no
with a high degree of certainty I see
yeses I see
NOS well uh here most of the NOS are
correct all right the nose are correct
here's what you would want to study the
vaccinated versus the
unvaccinated and that's
it you you you can't you can't study the
average
people that will tell you nothing
because there too many things going on
but if you were to study separately
vaccinated versus unvaccinated and and
by age group because you would want to
separate that by age
group if that
analysis caused the uh
actuaries to say oh that's real and
we're going to charge based on whether
you're vaccinated or not vaccinated
because remember they can charge more if
you smoke cigarettes am I right they do
right if you smoke cigarettes they'll
charge you more won't they for life
insurance right and and it's not it's
not really easy to check up on that I
mean they could but it's not easy so
couldn't you
also charge more for people who are
either vaccinated or
unvaccinated depending what your
Actuarial numbers determined was more
dangerous yeah so the only thing I want
to teach you is that looking at excess
Mor mortality even if it started at the
same time as the vaccinations it doesn't
tell you what you think of this it might
it doesn't not tell you that it's just
not it's not something you should rely
on but if you actually saw numbers that
you you could think were accurate about
the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated
that would tell you
everything I believe I mean you probably
want to control it for age and obesity
and stuff but basically just look at
those two groups
now
um has anybody done that
analysis I haven't seen it have
you why why would nobody have done the
one analysis that actually would make
you confident you knew what was
happening what is it too hard you think
it's too hard to study that I doubt it
it's not too
hard that info was reliable they didn't
have ask and assumed unvexed if unknown
okay I don't know about
that and the other thing I would teach
you is don't compare the United States
to any other country so as soon as you
say compare to Sweden or compare to
Africa or anything none of that
works none of that works we don't
collect data the same way there's just
nothing that's the same it's just too
different in too many ways it won't tell
you anything so that ladies and
gentlemen
concludes my comments for today um I
feel sorry for you and feel sorry for
Israel especially and also the innocent
um people in Gaza who are going to pay a
big
price
um but you're going to hear the same
arguments just over and over all day
long today I hope I gave you something
that was a little bit different but it's
going to be it's going to feel like a
lot of the same all day
long I'll tell you one thing that uh the
situation in Israel let's call it the
war does this war have a name
yet the Gaza war or
something um it's going to get a name
they're going to name
it but I'll tell you one thing it
did yeah let's let's not call it World
War I um one thing it did is it put or
other problems in perspective didn't
it when you when you imagine what would
it be like to know that armed
terrorists are on your border and
running through your city just gutting
people down and that they might be there
for days it might last
days I mean how long does it take to
catch a thousand people some of them are
going to go to hiding and then just come
back out as soon as the heat goes down
right so it made a lot of my other
problems seem completely important in
fact when I was putting together my
notes for today you know if you were
here at the beginning you know I started
with you know just some scientific
things and things like that I didn't
want to talk about those
today like I did it to wait for people
to get on the live stream and I did it
so you didn't hear just non-stop
negativity today but I wasn't interested
I'm normally I'm totally interested oh
new scientific thing you know new little
study new poll they interest me but in
the context of watching Israel being
overrun or at least attempted to be
overrun none of it feels
important like Israel feels important
today and nothing else does even
Ukraine I I barely thought about it just
changed
everything no discussion about what
leads to this well I think we all know
what led to
it don't
we yeah I mean there's no mystery about
what led to
it all right ladies and gentlemen I'm
going to say uh say goodbye on this
platform I hope my Sound and Lighting
were better than yesterday thanks for
joining and I will see all of
you tomorrow and I'll talk to the locals
people
privately
