Episode 2308 Scott Adams - CWSA 11/30/23 Elon Musk Tries Honesty, Biden Decomposes, More Fun

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams because that's what we're going to do and if you'd like to take this situation up to levels that nobody can even understand with their human little brains all you need is a cuper muger glass a tanker jalous with Stein a canteen juger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and happens now it's going to be way better if I put on my microphone I I have a trick for remembering to put on my microphone what I what I do is I leave it in the middle of my working surface so that there's no way in the world that I could not notice that it's on and then as soon as I get my printed notes uh I I go to put them down and the microphone's in the way so I move it out of the way and then later you say why can't we hear you CU my trick to remember doesn't work doesn't work at all I need a new trick well there a bunch of interesting things I'll just go over them quickly there's a new discovery using radar that there was some Ancient Waterway that snaked from the Nile to where the pyramids are and you can't see any signs of these ancient waterways but apparently they were massive so that might be the big explanation of why the pyramids are where they are because they had massive waterways to transport all the materials and stuff that they needed Now isn't that interesting to think that the pyam pids were right next to a big tributary of the Nile and that once the Nile once that tributary dried up we had no idea like how they got those rocks might have been the answer I guess you already knew that one I saw Andrew hubman clip in which he had some guests saying that your dopamine resets in 30 days so if there's something you're addicted to if you can stay off it for 30 days your dopamine will get back back to uh where you want it so in other words if you can if you can keep off something for 30 days you'll start to not miss it now I added my own experience which is when it comes to food uh my experience is it takes about 60 days because there's not just your body that has to get acclimated to the dopamine but also your brain because you often have a habit so you're dealing with an addiction and and a habit at the same time maybe the dopamine goes back after 30 days but the brain part where you got to reach for that thing in my case it was Diet Cokes you know your your brain just wants to do a Diet Coke after let's say after you exercise or something you know my my normal triggers so 60 days to get rid of your habits as well as your dopamine deficiency and that's why when I give diet advice I give it like a hypnotist not like a nutritionist so what I tell you is uh don't try to quit uh don't try to quit the quantity of food you eat at the same time you're trying to get up give up an addictive food so for example uh you should just try to quit one bad food at a time while while not making any changes to the volume you eat because if you change the volume you're eating you've You' got hunger at the moment you're dealing with you've got a habit you're dealing with and maybe an addiction so you've given yourself three problems you can get rid of one of them by just not being hungry eat as much as you want but make sure that you lose your craving for this one that's extra bad and then when that craving is gone two months later you pick another one now if you did that every two months for one year imagine you could reduce these six biggest problem foods without really much of an effort because you would never be hungry and you'd always be eating things you liked all the time so that that's my my uh my suggestion is never let yourself be hungry while you're dieting just change the mix of things you're eating all right but do them one at a time don't don't get don't get rid of all your addictions at the same time so even getting rid of sugar all at once is tough but getting rid of that you know ice cream you eat before you go to sleep you know just work on that and then if you can get that one after two months maybe work on you know dessert after dinner and then just that one so that'll work for you believe me all right uh I was asked on X uh if hypnosis could be used for breaking addictions such as drinking and drugs and the answer is is I'll give you the answer that my hypnosis teacher taught me which has basically changed my life you know you've heard this in another context but in the hypnosis context is really strong uh my hypnosis instructor taught me this which I've seen to be true my entire life that when somebody has decided to quit their addiction drinking drugs food smoking whatever it is when they've decided to quit it doesn't matter what method they use they could use hypnosis and it would work totally would work they could use uh reading a book that gives them some tips totally would work they could say oh I did it my way I went to a desert island that would work it all works once you've decided everything works and but you might want to do something in other words don't do nothing it probably helps that you pick some method you're comfortable with but but the flip side of that is when you only want to quit no method works let me say that again when you want to quit your addiction but it's not a decision it's just something you really want no method works let me say that like five more times if you haven't decided to quit you just want it no method Works no method Works no method Works no method works that's that's the thing you have to get right is that decision all right raspon uh had a poll of Arkansas voters and what they think about paper ballots versus machines and by 2 to one the Arkansas people wanted paper ballots but here's the weird part the 31% opposed having only handmark ballots in other words 31% of people in Arkansas prefer machines um why does anybody have any reason have you ever heard of any reason I've never heard one because it's it's not a reason that you can't do it in time that's just a Manpower or human power thing right there's no problem about getting done in time uh 100% of experts would agree that you can have a a fair and secure and well- audited election 100% of experts would agree that adding a complicated new technology could give you problems on voting day of course but also questions about what's happening within the machine if people can't tell so there's a a public perception problem so even if the machines are perfect the the public has trouble telling it's there's an audit problem so I I just can't understand how in the world nearly a third of people in Arkansa you know especially a republican kind of state what argument do they have for not having paper ballots and also having electronic machines what have you ever heard an have you ever heard the argument machines with a time stamp but still machines introduce an extra level of complic apption right lots of Democrats but do you think it's let me ask you this do you think it's because 30% are uninformed about the advantages and disadvantages is that all it is they're just uninformed probably all right um so you know this whole Seth Rich thing is bubbling up again because I guess through some Freedom of Information Act uh we'll soon have access to what his laptop said now I don't expect anything interesting to come of that um according to a thing called the news uh the idea that Seth Rich had been giving stuff to uh Wikileaks and that therefore that's why he got killed that that came literally from a Russian disinformation that's the first time I heard that and that uh the story is that was Russian disinformation and hanity uh Shan hanity on Fox is the primary one who turned it into a thing and that there was never anything to it how many of you think that that's a true a true statement of what happened that there's no evidence anywhere there's no document there's no testimony no evidence that Wikileaks ever got anything from Seth rich don't believe it well I I'll tell you where I'm at um this is this is not one I'd be inclined to believe I'm not inclined to believe it but we do live in a world where most of the conspiracy theories have turned out to be real you know maybe like 55% of them or something so it's sort of squarely in the category of anything's possible isn't it yeah just sort of anything's possible I don't know um but I'd love to see Hannity respond to the claim that the entire thing was based on one uh Russian known known Russian disinformation because there was a fake document that they say they chased to Russia it doesn't exactly sound like you could believe either side of this yeah there there's a lot of lack of credibility in this story well Gallup has a poll about uh how independent voters are thinking about uh Biden uh I'm going to ask you to see if you can guess uh if the independent voters what what percent do you think uh did not think that Biden's ruining the economy very good guess yeah about a quarter about a quarter that's correct all right how many of The Independents thought he's doing a pretty good job in the Middle East in the M oh right again 25% yeah it's right around 25% um how about uh what percentage of the public thinks he's doing good in foreign affairs in general foreign affairs in general well how do you keep doing this you're right again yeah 28% but you're very very close very close wow you are the smartest audience I've ever seen and and it should be noted that many of you had the right answers before I asked the question that's something you're not going to see on Alex Jones no no only here can Steven Crowder have people get the right answer before he asks the question I don't think so that's only here anyway um so James comr in the uh house committee oversight uh group he released an email he says that the uh B bank money laundering investigator so there was a a bank employee who is an investigator for looking into you know allegations of money laundering within their Bank uh he raised concerns back in 2018 about unusual Financial activity from China going into the Biden accounts um now apparently the government has known about this and at least a bank has known about it I'm sure it was reported um since 2018 basically everybody knew since 2018 when I say everybody I mean everybody who mattered in the the Deep state government situation now would you say that Biden is staying in power because he thinks he's the best candidate for the job I don't think so so do you think it's because he's got plenty of energy left and he thinks that his health is perfect and or at least good enough and uh there's no real problem and he beat Trump before so it just makes sense no nobody believes that no so why is he staying in office is it because they don't have a good backup no not really CU they have at least people who can walk and talk and stand upright of course they have better candidates of course they do now I've got I think I've narrowed it down to two possibilities and maybe it's both number one is that he's the most black mailable president we've had in a long time although I suspect they all are um and that that he's being blackmailed by some members of the intelligence Community or something just so that they'll let him stay alive and out in jail so it's it's the ideal situation if you're the an intelligence branch of a of a government to have the most black mailable person as the leader you you can't you can't do better than that if you're the head of the intelligence agencies um but on top of that he's got to stay in power to uh stay in a jail not just from the blackmail but he's got to keep his pardon abilities and he's got to keep his ability to prevent people from investing ating carefully because you they might fear that if he's in office again he'll get retribution so they can't go hard at any of his family so how in the world could he win when you no doubt have somebody like Trump who would say this thing these things out loud you know where's the part where Trump says what I said let's be serious people you know he's not running because he believes he's healthy enough you all know that Jill knows it the public knows it so it's not because he's healthy enough to do the job it's not because he's the only good candidate the Democrats can muster they've got some solid candidates I mean they could they could so I think that Trump could say this directly or you know vake or anybody who's running could just say you've sort of narrowed it down to you're either blackmailed or you're just trying to stay in a jail and that's kind of the whole story now it is kind of a point in time which is weird that you could make the same argument about Trump that he needs to win to make sure he stays out of jail because that's probably true so we have two presidential candidates who are probably going to run against each other if the polls are correct primarily to stay on the jail now Trump has also a Revenge motive and he's Trump and he likes to win and he wants the country to do well so he has lots of motives but one of them all bet all bet one of them is staying out of jail you know top five so good work America the American system got us to hear that's where we ended up great job all right um if I ever get murdered I don't want it to be in ironic kind of way that people do a story because it was kind of funny you know tragic tragic of course but sometimes funny for example if I were uh murdered by a talking dog you know I do a comic where there's a talking dog well that would be in the news for sure I mean I suppose I'd be newsworthy either way but I don't want the story to be how funny it is the way I died it can't be ironic I just want to go some natural way I don't want to be like this La social justice Advocate who is killed when a homeless woman broke into his home and filled him with bullets so uh jamaa Elena me Mel is the suspect went into his home and shot him to death so that's who he was that's the uh the homeless Community is who he was trying to help um if only there had been some way to avoid this if only what could he have done differently I don't know can't thing uh Jen Jen Jen wiger uh he's running for the nomination to be the Democrat running for president and he's saying uh he's choosing to run to keep out all other Maj well he's keeping out other Challengers at a time when 3/4s of the country didn't want him to run and uh Jen says it will be seen if if Biden stays in and he loses he'll be seen as one of the most selfish acts in American history he's practically handing the country over to Trump well he's right but what is behind the selfishness I don't think the selfishness is he he wants to be a two-term President Biden might be the first legitimate president who said you know one term is fine I don't know if anybody ever said that but he might be the only person who ever legitimately expected to and wanted to have one term might be the only one because of his age I think he still wishes he had one term that's my assumption based on observation of his health and his performance but can't read his mind so you never know I guess the US set a new record with 15% of our current population is made up of immigrants 4.5 million new immigrants settled since Biden took office um and there are now almost 50 million immigrants both legal and illegal residing in the country does that sound like bad news to you what's your like does your brain translate that into bad news cuz I feel like there's some bias in that if you are I mean like a lot of bias like we we would have a far fewer uh gigantic corporations in America like Google and you know things like that if we didn't have this many immigrants do you do you think that the net of 50 million immigrants do you think the net net is negative does anybody think that yes okay that's crazy that's crazy most of these are legal immigrants who had the wherewithal to get to America because they wanted to work in this system are you kidding me let let me say this unambiguously 50 million immigrants in the United States is financial gold that's Financial gold now now hold on if if you're shocked by that it's because you're confusing the troublemakers with the average don't cons don't confuse the troublemakers with the average that the quality of immigrants to the United States is probably unparalleled you know even with as much trouble as we have with the illegal Crossings if you're looking at the whole picture oh my god do we get good immigrants we get really good IM immigrants in general now at the moment we've got a a quality problem because we're not vetting anybody they're just running over that's different and and I would Grant you if all 50 million just ran across the border from every part of the world you don't know which way that goes but given that most of the most of the immigrants came under some kind of a system where you know you had to be adding something to the to the economy you you you need to get this stra this is something you need to get right the United States has a declining population we would be dead without immigrants it's the difference between thriving and just being dead so I'm saying people disagree with that if you're disagreeing with that you're completely off base yeah that's not this is not a matter of opinion this is not a matter of opinion I I believe 100% of economists would agree 100% find me one Economist who disagrees with me and not about illegal immigration but about the 50 million you will not find one Economist left or right who disagrees I don't think right now again I everybody who's disagree with me you're having the same problem you're you're imagining that the the troubling group is somehow representative it's not not even close all right um kamla was uh at some event with uh we'll talk about this event with uh what's his name Andrew Ross sorin uh deal book I guess is the event and Harris was asked by sorin uh to talk about Tik Tock you know specifically it's danger to the United States and she she treaded water for two minutes to talk about compl completely other things and then when he got her back to Tik Tock she said she didn't want to talk about it that's the vice president of the United States talking about one of the existential threats to the country no doubt about it which is that China can push the heat button on anything they want and she's like I don't want to talk about it wow and her family members use it of course of course well the Gaza ceasefire has been extended another day what does it all mean what does it mean does it mean there's going to be a permanent ceasefire I doubt it uh Netanyahu is saying as clearly as possible today no Hamas will be completely destroyed whatever we do between now and then don't be confused it won't look like I'm paraphrasing but it's not going to look like a ceasefire whatever we do it ends with killing everybody in Hamas who was a bad guy so I think you know delaying for another day if they give some more prisoners back probably a win the thing I don't understand is I I keep hearing people say that Hamas will rearm themselves because of the ceasefire where would they get these arms is it because they could more easily get to a different tunnel where there's some arms because I doubt they're running out of arms aren't the tunnels just full of ammo and arms I know I it seems to me that they've got that area pretty buttoned up nobody gets in around I don't know how they were going to get any extra arms from the outside so unless they had some way to you know repurpose them on the inside I don't know that it would make any difference so that's just an open question did you see the uh viral uh thing that happened with Northface the maker of Outdoors clothing there was some viral Tik Tock uh an attractive woman who's must have had a big social media presence I don't know who it was but she was uh up hiking in some remote part of Australia and it was raining and she was wearing a North Face made uh rain or jacket that she I guess she thought might have been a little waterproof but it wasn't so she was complaining in this remote Mountain where there's just nobody else like all by herself up on this mountain and she's just water logged and wet and she's complaining into her her phone and she tells Northface that she wants them to bring her bring her a new jacket at the top of the mountain so Northface magnificent bastards that they are immediately leapt into action and managed to get this quick film they did this so quickly that she was still in the mountain right they they rented a helicopter they got a uh film crew I guess and they got a guy that they filmed running into the store grabbing a jacket uh running onto a helicopter you see the helicopter find her on the mountain she's really the she really was the only one there and it was easy to find her wasn't there wasn't much in trees or anything it was kind of open land they see her the elevator the helicopter pulls down next to her and this is this is the funnier part the the guy with the coat uh gets out and he runs over to her and she she acts like she knows what's happening at this point and instead of talking to her he throws the coat at her he just throws it at her and she catches it and he turns and immediately runs back to the helicopter and goes away now how many of you think it was planned little little bit too good little bit too good yeah I'm going to say it it's not impossible that it was organic it's not impossible but the timing doesn't make any sense at all does it have you ever tried to rent a helicopter can can you get your helicopter rented in it in an hour got your film crew and then they found her on the mountain yeah it was still funny so whether it was planned or wasn't planned I I would still give North Face and a triple Plus for marketing it was kind of amazing yeah even if it was planned it was amazing I I don't mind I don't mind if it was planned if it was just a marketing stunt I'm okay with that it entertained me well the big story is that uh Elon Musk was at that same event I mentioned that dealbook thing talking to and Drew Ross sorin and when asked about the advertisers who are leaving the xplatform because of his alleged anti-semitic comments which were of course not anti-semitic that's the way these things work um and he said about them don't advertise is someone is trying to Blackmail with me with advertising uh blackmailed me with money go yourself go yourself is that clear I hope it is now I only had one word response for that Legend yeah and then he said hi Bob talking to Bob Iger of Disney who might have been in the audience so I don't know I don't think I could love this any more than I do I do I do love the fact as was pointed out to me by uh user Blackjack fing on X who said calling the people leaving uh blackmailers is a genius reframe and he mentioned my book you know my book reframe your brain yes it's about reframes but that's what uh Elon did if you if you allow their frame hey you said something anti-em so they left you lose because then you're arguing from within their frame no I didn't do it I didn't do it well you're in the frame no but I didn't do it never works you have to change the whole frame which he did he changed it to Blackmail does that does it ring does it ring true when you hear blackmail does your brain say that wasn't blackmail or does your brain say you know what that was pretty black Mish you know what mine does so mine mine grabbed blackmail just like it owned me now that's a good reframe and then what did he do to sell the reframe he uh he pissed on your tablecloth he used terrible squar words in a situation where you should not use terrible swear words knowing of of course that it would be viral so not only did he reframe it but then he lit a nuclear bomb under the reframe so you're not going to miss it not only that but he did it in such a way let let me ask you this let me ask you in the comments you tell me how many in the comments have now quoted him either talking to a friend or in your mind you repeated it or you retweeted it how many have quoted him already a lot right the news people do right a lot if I've taught you anything about Ai and the fact that they use these large language models to create some kind of intelligence um that's kind of what he's doing he he just drew your attention to it in a way you couldn't miss it he said something interesting so you repeated his words in your mind what happens if you can get somebody to repeat your words in their minds it it reprograms them so he actually reprogrammed half of Earth by doing that that if if you think that was just I I think the news is reporting it as like an epic meltdown that was the opposite of an epic meltdown that was a pers persuasion play that had the best persuasion technique I you'll ever see you you can't beat that you you had the provocation by doing something on of context he did it in a public way he got all that attention now what do I tell you is are the two strongest um persuasion elements the two strongest parts of persuasion are What Fear correct and fear and visual yeah the visual part of your brain now attention is necessary for all all persuasion so if you set attention that was you get credit for that but if you can give fear and a visual thing he didn't say you you would have been bad persuasion he told Bob ier a person that you can personally if if you know business if you follow business at all you can picture him and he didn't he didn't say you he said go yourself I literally see Bob Iger trying to get his dick in his mouth can you beat that no no you cannot beat that that that's visual persuasion even in a verbal sense so verbally he painted you a picture and he painted you a picture that's a physical impossibility was that a mistake because it's a physical impossibility no that's technique because the physical impossibility is what makes you think about it so long you're like well you can't really well suppose you okay if you took enough yoga No but if he were built if he were really well hung if you know if you if you count anal you know so it makes it makes you think about it and it makes you think about it visually you you just can't get better that and then as far as fear when he says blackmailed even though he's being blackmailed not you you can feel it I could feel that because you could put yourself in this position and you're thinking really you you're going to Blackmail this guy and and my favorite part was he didn't have to say on the richest man on earth didn't need to say it he just said you're going to try to Blackmail me with money that that to me that was the that was the kill shot with money because you know what that was designed to do the way he framed that you know what that was designed to do make them feel hopeless do you think I'm going to stop funding this because you're with me I'm still the richest man in the world I can keep this alive as long as I want yeah with money are you serious so if you want somebody to eventually change their mind you want to make sure that they know it's hopeless and they're going to look like turds until they Chang their mind apparently there have been substantial cancellations of the Disney app since he said that yeah yeah Disney's going Disney's going to go full uh you know full on Bud Light because he basically Elon just he just sounded the the attack didn't he it's one thing when Dan santis goes after Disney honestly I didn't really care about any of that you know it was good good politics I suppose but I didn't really love the the Disney Dan santis fight wasn't a big fan of that but this is kind of this this is a different level this is a this is about Free Speech itself the survival of free speech I do think it's that it's that important so I don't think uh musk could have done much better than that and then on a separate topic he said that uh uh he's done more for the environment than anybody on Earth is that good persuasion you done more for the environment than any single person on Earth yes it's perfect do you know what is bad persuasion I've done a lot for the environment I've done a lot for the environment I've done many things I will list them bad persuasion do you know why oh everybody thinks you know I recycle yeah okay great I recycle yeah we all do self fore the environment you you're a bigger bigger entity so of course it adds up more but we're all doing our part you there was that time I walked when I could have driven we're all doing our thing yeah big deal you do lots of things for the but when he says I'm the singest single biggest contributor to the to the environment in the history of planet Earth you just have to stop and say all right is he is he and then you think well there's Greta but she hasn't really physically done anything she's just convincing people yeah so if you get into an argument with yourself about whether he's really the number one or would it be more appropriate to say he's only in the top five if he can make you argue whether whether he's the number one or well just in the top five he wins he wins cuz then it's not you saying well I recycle too it's a big deal all right but here's my favorite story which is unrelated but related uh there are claims now that uh Elon musk's uh rockets for SpaceX are putting holes in space does it sound like made that up there there's actually there's a sciency explanation to it but literally literally the simple explanation is his Rockets are putting holes in space does it sound to you like maybe there are powerful entities who have decided to take Elon Musk out are you seeing any signs that maybe there's a coordinated attack is rocket are putting holes in space come on come on uh then the other thing must said which I I took to be a comment about the ADL and people who act the same I guess uh uh I am saying what I care about is the reality of goodness not the perception of it and what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil them okay now I think that would include ESG probably includes the WF might include the who yeah might include Democrats in general I don't know but he's got a point it is really annoying that the people who are the most evil uh are the ones trying to convince you that they're the the Angels good point on that all right um did any of you have trouble understanding why musk was in trouble for commenting positively on the Tweet um did anybody look at the tweet that got him in trouble and read it and then reread it and say I'm not sure what the problem is and here's what it looks like it looks like it's the standard play that goes like this you pretend you don't know what he says and then you never you never leave that frame you just pretend you don't understand what he really meant but of course you do let let me read I'll remind you what it was and then I'll show you how they pretend they're they're reading it wrong okay uh so this is uh the original poster I don't know who it was um said something quote um the Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them the post read and then it went on I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest now about Western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much uh and then mus replied you have the actual truth you have said the actual truth now what would make this super bigoted and racist is if he said that Jews in general are doing whatever this is is that how you heard it when you read this did you think he meant all Jews no you know why you didn't think it meant all Jews CU nobody ever means that about any group if you say uh black people have a high crime rate you're never talking about all black people that's what rap means right you're not talking about all of them if you say uh elbonian uh like to wear hats are you ever talking about all elbonian never never everybody knows that if you say uh black people like hip-hop music do you mean every every black person likes hip-hop never never of course you don't mean that and any body who heard you would know that you did not mean that so when this tweet said Jewish communities in the west do you think there's any chance that he intended to mean every Jew in America no we all know that do you think that he included now I guess the ratio I looked it up this morning uh s out of 10 American Jews are Democrats 70% do you think that Elon was including the 30% of conservative Jews who might be in favor of building a wall on our border do you think he was saying bad things about that group no so of course not like obviously of course not because that would be a group a group that largely agrees with Elon right so why why would he be criticizing the people who have the same opinion he has it's obviously not about Jewish people in general it's obviously about individual groups like you know maybe he was thinking of the ADL maybe he was thinking of Democrats maybe he was thinking of Soros but to me it was a comment about Democrats so when I read it I go oh he's talking about Democrats who want open borders and that includes a lot of Jewish folks but it's not really about being Jewish it's about being in the group of people who like the open borders which which would include a lot of every type of person you got your Christians you got your blacks your whites your everything so here here's the thing you need to know there's nobody who believes he said anything anti-semitic you get that right none of his critics believe he said anything anti-semitic none of them they all know what they're doing they know that they if they intentionally pretend he did they can keep saying it because people don't go back to the source and you know read it and do what I'm doing nobody thinks he did nobody not a single person believes he meant all Jews not one all all right uh so it it's obviously a political statement but once it's out of the bag nothing you could do about it now you should see this technique in lots of other places don't you how often do you see the oh he must be talking about every single person and you know they're not ever all right uh speaking of Disney uh apparently in their uh Financial reports they're acknowledging that they're too woke and it's costing them money but they say it in big Corporate Way do you want to hear the big Corporate Way you say uhoh we went to woke and we ruined all our products and everybody hates us here's the corporate way to say it in public quote we risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment travel and consumer products yes we're we're not aligned with the with the customers how about our products are because we bowed to the woke people on the left now when I say they bowed to the woke people on the left here's a test this will be a test did I mean every Democrat did that refer to 100% of Democrats of course not of course not and and everyone of you understood right did did I need to say you know a lot of them or many of them or too many of them or there there too many of them in that group no no no because since you're not trying to kill me and remove me from on my you know platform you just hear it the way I mean it but if you were here to deplatform me you would say oh you saying every Democrat how how ridiculous of you to say every democrat's like that all right uh Henry Kissinger is dead people have different opinions about him and I would ask you the following question if you think you can evaluate Henry Kissinger you know based on the historical record how are you going to uh how are they going to write the history of the Trump administration because someday that's going to have to be in a history book and how will they write the history of Gaza and you know the last month or two just think about that who who's going to write that history and when it's written would you believe it cuz there's certainly going to be an Israeli version of history there certainly already is you know a version for the Palestinians so which one is history it depends right so if a Democrat wrote a biography of Henry Kissinger do you think that would be you know nice and clean and unbiased versus let's say a staun republican wrote a biography of Kissinger do you think it'd be different of course it would so um people were asking me all day yesterday because Kissinger died at age 100 they were saying you know give us your opinion of his legacy you know did he do more good than bad and here's my answer how would anybody know it's completely unknowable there might be things that if I looked at I would say oh I don't like that there might be things I'd look at and say hm by today's perspective that seems very unwoke maybe but if you're telling me I'm G to try to figure out whether Kissinger was mostly good or mostly bad you know what what's sort of the average you don't know there's literally no way to know it's unknowable because you would be looking at historical records and things taken out of context and there's no way you could piece that together and have a reasonable opinion no way yeah so I mean you could have an opinion and a sense of things but if you have a high level of confidence in that opinion I think that would be unwarranted so I would say he's probably somebody who did some good stuff and some bad stuff and I have no idea how it Nets out well peteran has uh declared he's going to leave the xplatform uh because he said what was once a platform where you could access open- Source information that was reliable and free has now been laid to rest by Elon Musk yes I'm talking about that little blue bird we've known in love for years now that seems to be pretty close to the opposite of my experience I would say the x is way better and the the the singular place where there's still free speech and everybody can have their say now why would his why would his opinion be the polar opposite of my experience and by the way tell me who you agree with would you agree that it's like so bad now you should leave or do you agree with me that it's not only better than it's ever been but you know it's the jewel in the constitutional republic at the moment yeah now many of you said to me Scott Scott Scott stop talking about this Peter Zan guy and his views about China and Ukraine because it seemed to knew that he was some kind of a intelligence plant that he was just working for the CIA you said now I don't know about any of that I don't know about any of that I have I have no no data nothing that would say that I do know he acts exactly like that or exactly like what I would expect to see if you were primarily a CIA asset and I don't think that any honest person would say what he said said which is that the platform is going to hell and you can't good get good information anymore I don't believe he really believes that now I can't read his mind right so if you're going to say hey you're reading Minds I'd say well okay you got me there but here's why I think it I can't know for sure here's why I think it I think it because nobody would have this opinion nobody would have this opinion this is not I mean it's just sort of sort of on its surface it's obvious ridiculous so to me it looks like it's just um yes some Alliance that he's he's satisfying with this I don't know who it would be but so I'm not going to make any accusations about who he really works for I'll just note that a lot of people have that view and that um my observation is I can't think of a second way to explain it I don't know a second way to explain this observation so uh here's an interesting update on open Ai and um chat GPT so another uh we've got a resignation by another board member Helen toner and she said this on X about her resignation to be clear our decision was about the board's ability to effectively supervise the company which was our role and responsibility um there there's been the speculation we were not motivated by a desire to slow down oh there's been speculation but we were not motivated by desire to slow down open AI so the the primary story that we all got about the Sam mman situation and I think I think it was reported in every Outlet was that the reason for the conflict was that the board wanted to go slower and Alman wanted to go faster on AI and now here's the board member herself she's saying unambiguously had nothing to do with that now if she didn't tell you that what would the history of this situation have written probably it would have gone with all the the news reports it would have written that that was a reason so so you really think you can evaluate Kissinger no you cannot evaluate kisser cuz it's all this and always has been yeah if if this one if this one board member had not decided to not only quit because if she had not quit I don't think we would ever heard this right it it seems related to her quitting I I think she would have kept quiet and you know maybe be had more decorum as a board member but this is really valuable for the the permanent record so I don't know what the problem was they've been pretty unspecific about it all right um if you're not following Kyle Becker on X you're really missing out in my opinion he is in the top I don't know definitely top 10 maybe top five of useful news related um independent uh journalists probably top five you know he's in there with Greenwald and um shellenberger uh Cano the Great you those are accounts that are but just always have the best stuff all right and it's so good that I want to read you his very long u post because he summarizes the January 6 situation um really well and you need to you need to have it resummed every once in a while because it's complicated so um let me just read Kyle Becker's thing so he says uh so it turns out there were quote at least 200 feds and undercover operatives working the Trump entrapment plot on January 6 now don't get too excited about that that's not a verified fact uh he says his source is that's according to US Representative clay Higgins Republican uh who sat down for a recent interview uh and said quote the FBI was not just participating in the January 6 acts from within I sus they had over 200 agents so this was one politician who suspects right so i' I'd say uh well we have verification I'm sure that they were there but 200 would be a whole different story than 50 would you agree well 50 might be the same story 200 would be a bit a different story than 20 that would be a different story all right so there's one person who thinks that he suspects there were over 200 so I wouldn't rely on that number that's just one person's speculation um and that they were addressed As Trump supporters and Etc um now Kyle says again he's not buying into the number entirely he says this figure is in the realm of possibility given the newly released uh j6 videos court documents and witness statements uh I would agree I would agree with it's in the realm of possibility probably high but in the realm I mean if it's a 100 would have changed your mind if you find out there were only 100 and not 200 that wouldn't change your mind much would it 100's a lot so but here's the important part um and when you track this is in quotes so I guess this must be what uh clay Higgin said quote and when you track the text threads and the communications Within those groups and find the origins of suggestions of potential violence or an active occupation of the capital on January 6 you'll find that those messages were led by members of the groups that ended up to be the FBI agents and had infiltrated the group hean said now is that true that we have enough of a pattern that the the groups that were involved at the very least we know that they had uh they were infiltrated and that the feds were the ones who made might have been the provocative ones which of course is you know not allowed all right um so Higgins continued so the FBI's involvement was deep not just on j6 but on the days and weeks and months prior all right so we don't know the exact number but there's apparently evidence that some number of them may have been instigators and that would be the key Point whether the FBI with the instigators or were would it have happened organically um now Kyle says there's now zero doubt that j6 was a setup well setup does a lot of work but um he says the Trump incitement narrative had been hatched months prior as the infamous uh Time shadow cabal article made clear all right so Time Magazine so Kyle says the j6 riot was war gamed multiple times before the Electoral College wow did you know that it was a war gam ahead of time is that in the time article um I don't know about that all right the FBI unconstitutionally used NSA surveillance to track the extremist groups seeking to disrupt the event they had Federal informant embedded in multiple extremist GL groups including the proud boys now here's here's sort of a payoff here he says yeah somehow the FBI Capital police were woefully unprepared despite multiple Advanced warnings yeah how how do you have all these embedded FBI agents who are fully aware of what January 6 is going to turn into because they're part of the organizations that are going to do it and they don't warn anybody or if they did warn them they weren't prepared H that doesn't quite track does it um he goes on uh DC mayor Bowser former speaker Nancy py former Senator majority Mitch mconnell and others refused to press for more National Guard despite it being documented and on the record that former president Trump wanted 10,000 National Guard troops outside Congress to protect the Electoral College is that an established fact that's documented that the asked way out of the Electoral College for 10,000 and they turned it down what else do you need to know if the groups that were the aggressive ones had FBI informants and we have records that the FBI informants might have been the ones riling things up and then we know that since everybody knew there would be a problem and Trump knew it too and he asked for reinforcements and he was denied that looks exactly like a setup doesn't it what else would it be I mean even incompetence it would be tough to stretch this to incompetence usually I'm going to take the incompetence argument as the obvious one oh that people were just dumb because that explains a lot but this would be a level of dumb that would be hard to explain they're not that dumb are they um Kyle goes on says also there was no centrally coordinated plot to overturn the results of the ction as FBI sources told Reuters in a 2021 uh report uh that's a big deal and indeed he says that was the entire point of the election challenges during the con convening of the Electoral College um if Donald Trump wanted to overturn the 2020 elections he would have dis he would not have disrupted the Electoral College he would have continued to pursue his legal challenge that makes sense to me it seems that if you're going to do the legal challenge that the riot is working against your own interests like it's like pick one pick the riot or pick the the legal you know the legal way they don't kind of work together it's a good point uh Trump would not have sent in unarmed extremists to Del to to disrupt Electoral College in order to retain power uh this is not only illogical is absurd on its face it is absurd because at best they could have delayed things a day and then Supreme Court would have worked it out and literally nothing would have happened um so nonetheless this ridiculous partisan narrative has constituted the basis for prosecuting a former president and what is devolved into a partisan show trial yeah I don't know so you know there there's still some questions about the number of feds but if people are guessing 200 it wasn't five right it wasn't five I'm going to put my own guess on it we'll probably never know I'm going to put my own guess on it at between 30 and 50 between 30 and 50 just a guess based on living in the world and how hard it is to get anything done and that sort of thing and they probably would have thought that was enough so some of you are guessing 100 200 seems High I mean if it's 200 that would explain everything all right um yeah and then we have the governor Whitmer situation to tell us that things can get under of control with the under recover assets so we know that's a thing uh is a claim that feds are responsible for January 6 uh that's that would be the current claim but I don't know that uh I don't think that Trump had enough proof of that to make it part of the court case but um remember the standard for government is guilty until proven innocent the standard for Citizens is the opposite we're innocent till proven guilty so if you have uh if you have allegations about the number of feds and they they're not forthcoming about the number you should assume they're guilty not because it's necessarily guaranteed to be true but it's the only smart way to play it if the government won't tell you what they're doing assume it's corrupt every time right in the in the great unlikely chance that something else is happening okay you got wrong that time but you're going to be right nine out of 10 times if you assume that when they're hiding stuff there's a good reason they're hiding it and it's not a reason you like so yes the mere fact that the FBI will not disclose how many agents were involved I I consider a proof of crime in in a logical sense sense but not a legal sense logically it's proof because and again make the distinction if it were you as an individual that's not proof you're going to have to prove I did it but when the government says we're not going to tell you this valuable information that you want to know and by the way we can't even tell you that there's a reason we can't tell you right because suppose they said uh yes the number is 200 but we don't want to tell you how many are embedded in the groups and how many were just working that day that's not good enough because they don't have to tell us that they could just say they're about 200 but we don't want to give you the breakdown of you know what they were doing that would be something and and at least then I would understand the part where they don't want to tell us something it's like okay you don't want to tell us how many people are embedded because that would you know maybe alarm those groups I get that but not telling us any number even even a generality no that's proof of guilt now again doesn't mean they're guilty but it should be considered proof the same way that we can you know convict somebody an individual for a crime if you convict somebody of a crime and you say they're guilty you understand that doesn't mean they did the crime right that just means that the process found I'm guilty that's different from whether they actually did it likewise uh I am Prosecuting the FBI right now by saying your failure to give us this information I consider proof of guilt does that mean they're guilty 100% nope nope could be some weird thing that we don't know about but you have to treat it like they're guilty the same way if somebody is convicted even if they're not guilty you know in reality they're still going to put him in jail and treat him that way because you have to you have a working assumption that's the only way you can go through life well I don't know for sure but my working assumption is this so it bothers me no end when we treat January 6 like a maybe it's a maybe cuz we don't know but we shouldn't treat it that way you should treat it like a a confirmed guilt by government hiding information that you have no reason to know why it should be hidden yeah all right um doesn't the mil war game against such CS well since it wasn't a coup I don't know um yeah and then there might be a question about how many are actually FBI employees and how much are informance whatever oh wow all right that's all I got for now ladies and gentlemen one of the finest live streams you'll ever see um if you're still looking for Christmas gifts I recommend my two excellent books my classic is out with just a tighter at it same book better at it um if you really want to change somebody's life and then reframe your brain for really anybody this works for everybody for your mental health to your career to your happiness everything and if you don't believe me you just look at the reviews on Amazon keep keep this in mind I make cancelled author and I have a five-star review for my new book I'm cancelled I mean you'd expect just in the normal in the normal way of things working you'd expect a bunch of haters would have come in and said well we hate you but instead if you look at the reviews people say I don't like his politics but wow this is quite a book so that's a that's about the best endorsement you can get is your haters your haters actually stop the haters actually stop their criticism at that book they criticize everything else about me not that book so there's your commercial all right uh You.

Tube thanks for joining your autistic son is reading reframe your brain excellent um I will see you tomorrow and if you missed my cooking show yesterday uh I'll give you an update I did a cooking show show live stream I made a lentil soup or you could call it doll cuz it's an Indian version and what I learned is it's really easy to do the Main Ingredients but you need like 15 spices to to get it where you want it was actually delicious I overcooked the lentils a little bit but um taste-wise probably the best thing I've tasted in months it was actually amazing yeah all right that's all for now see you You.

Tube catch you tomorrow

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams because

that's what we're going to do and if

you'd like to take this situation up to

levels that nobody can even understand

with their human little brains all you

need is a cuper muger glass a tanker

jalous with Stein a canteen juger flask

a vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure of

the dopamine hit of the day the thing

that makes everything better it's called

the simultaneous Sip and happens

[Music]

now it's going to be way better if I put

on my

microphone I I have a trick for

remembering to put on my

microphone what I what I do is I leave

it in the middle of

my working surface so that there's no

way in the world that I could not notice

that it's on and then as soon as I get

my printed

notes uh I I go to put them down and the

microphone's in the way so I move it out

of the

way and then later you say why can't we

hear you CU my trick to

remember doesn't work doesn't work at

all I need a new

trick well there a bunch of interesting

things I'll just go over them quickly

there's a new discovery using radar that

there was some Ancient

Waterway that snaked from the Nile to

where the pyramids

are and you can't see any signs of these

ancient waterways but apparently they

were massive so that might be the big

explanation of why the pyramids are

where they are because they had massive

waterways to transport all the materials

and stuff that they needed Now isn't

that

interesting to think that the pyam pids

were right next to a big tributary of

the

Nile and that once the Nile once that

tributary dried up we had no idea like

how they got those rocks might have been

the answer I guess you already knew that

one I saw Andrew hubman clip in which he

had some guests saying that your

dopamine resets in 30

days so if there's something you're

addicted to if you can stay off it for

30 days your dopamine will get back back

to uh where you want it so in other

words if you can if you can keep off

something for 30 days you'll start to

not miss it now I added my own

experience which is when it comes to

food uh my experience is it takes about

60 days because there's not just your

body that has to get acclimated to the

dopamine but also your brain because you

often have a habit so you're dealing

with an addiction and and a habit at the

same time maybe the dopamine goes back

after 30 days but the brain part where

you got to reach for that thing in my

case it was Diet Cokes you know your

your brain just wants to do a Diet Coke

after let's say after you exercise or

something you know my my normal triggers

so 60 days to get rid of your

habits as well as your dopamine

deficiency and that's why when I give

diet advice I give it like a hypnotist

not like a nutritionist so what I tell

you is uh don't try to quit uh don't try

to quit the quantity of food you eat at

the same time you're trying to get up

give up an addictive food so for example

uh you should just try to quit one bad

food at a time while while not making

any changes to the volume you eat

because if you change the volume you're

eating you've You' got hunger at the

moment you're dealing with you've got a

habit you're dealing with and maybe an

addiction so you've given yourself three

problems you can get rid of one of them

by just not being hungry eat as much as

you want but make sure that you lose

your craving for this one that's extra

bad and then when that craving is gone

two months later you pick another one

now if you did that every two months for

one year imagine you could reduce these

six biggest problem foods without really

much of an effort because you would

never be hungry and you'd always be

eating things you liked all the time so

that that's my my

uh my suggestion is never let yourself

be hungry while you're dieting just

change the mix of things you're eating

all

right but do them one at a time don't

don't get don't get rid of all your

addictions at the same time so even

getting rid of sugar all at once is

tough but getting rid of that you know

ice cream you eat before you go to sleep

you know just work on that and then if

you can get that one after two months

maybe work on you know dessert after

dinner and then just that one so that'll

work for you believe

me all right uh I was asked on X uh if

hypnosis could be used for breaking

addictions such as drinking and drugs

and the answer is is I'll give you the

answer that my hypnosis teacher taught

me which has basically changed my

life you know you've heard this in

another context but in the hypnosis

context is really strong uh my hypnosis

instructor taught me this which I've

seen to be true my entire life that when

somebody has decided to quit their

addiction drinking drugs food smoking

whatever it is when they've decided to

quit it doesn't matter what method they

use they could use hypnosis and it would

work totally would work they could use

uh reading a book that gives them some

tips totally would work they could say

oh I did it my way I went to a desert

island that would work it all works once

you've

decided everything works and but you

might want to do something in other

words don't do nothing it probably helps

that you pick some method you're

comfortable with but but the flip side

of that is when you only want to quit no

method works let me say that again when

you want to quit your addiction but it's

not a decision it's just something you

really want no method

works let me say that like five more

times if you haven't decided to quit you

just want it no method Works no method

Works no method Works no method

works that's that's the thing you have

to get right is that

decision all right

raspon uh had a poll of Arkansas voters

and what they think about paper ballots

versus

machines and by 2 to one the Arkansas

people wanted paper ballots but here's

the weird part the 31% opposed having

only handmark ballots in other words 31%

of people in Arkansas prefer

machines

um

why does anybody have any reason have

you ever heard of any

reason I've never heard one because it's

it's not a reason that you can't do it

in time that's just a Manpower or human

power thing right there's no problem

about getting done in time uh 100% of

experts would

agree that you can have a a fair and

secure and well- audited

election 100% of experts would agree

that adding a complicated new technology

could give you problems on voting day of

course but also questions about what's

happening within the machine if people

can't tell so there's a a public

perception problem so even if the

machines are

perfect the the public has trouble

telling it's there's an audit problem

so

I I just can't understand how in the

world nearly a third of people in

Arkansa you know especially a republican

kind of state what argument do they have

for not having paper ballots and also

having electronic machines what have you

ever heard an have you ever heard the

argument machines with a time stamp but

still machines introduce an extra level

of complic apption

right lots of Democrats but do you think

it's let me ask you this do you think

it's because 30% are uninformed about

the advantages and

disadvantages is that all it is they're

just

uninformed

probably all right um so you know this

whole Seth Rich thing is bubbling up

again because I

guess through some Freedom of

Information Act uh we'll soon have

access to what his laptop said now I

don't expect anything interesting to

come of

that um according to a thing called the

news uh the idea that Seth Rich had been

giving stuff

to uh Wikileaks and that therefore

that's why he got killed that that came

literally from a Russian

disinformation that's the first time I

heard

that and that uh the story is that was

Russian disinformation and

hanity uh Shan hanity on Fox is the

primary one who turned it into a

thing and that there was never anything

to

it how many of you think that that's a

true a true statement of what happened

that there's no evidence anywhere

there's no document there's no testimony

no evidence that Wikileaks ever got

anything from Seth

rich don't believe

it well I I'll tell you where I'm

at um this is this is not one I'd be

inclined to believe I'm not inclined to

believe it but we do live in a world

where most of the conspiracy theories

have turned out to be real you know

maybe like 55% of them or

something

so it's sort of squarely in the category

of anything's possible isn't it yeah

just sort of anything's

possible I don't know um but I'd love to

see Hannity respond to the claim that

the entire thing was based on one uh

Russian known known Russian

disinformation because there was a fake

document that they say they chased to

Russia it doesn't exactly

sound like you could believe either side

of this yeah there there's a lot of lack

of credibility in this story

well Gallup has a poll about uh how

independent voters are thinking about uh

Biden uh I'm going to ask you to see if

you can guess uh if the independent

voters what what percent do you think uh

did not think that Biden's ruining the

economy very good guess yeah about a

quarter about a quarter that's correct

all right how many of The Independents

thought he's doing a pretty good job in

the Middle East in the M oh right again

25% yeah it's right around

25% um how about uh what percentage of

the public thinks he's doing good in

foreign affairs in general foreign

affairs in general well how do you keep

doing this you're right again yeah 28%

but you're very very close very close

wow you are the smartest audience I've

ever

seen and and it should be noted that

many of you had the right answers before

I asked the question that's something

you're not going to see on Alex Jones no

no only

here can Steven Crowder have people get

the right answer before he asks the

question I don't think so that's only

here

anyway um so James comr in the uh house

committee

oversight uh group he released an email

he says that the uh B bank money

laundering investigator so there was a a

bank employee who is an investigator for

looking into you know allegations of

money laundering within their

Bank uh he raised concerns back in

2018 about unusual Financial activity

from China going into the Biden

accounts um now apparently the

government has known about this and at

least a bank has known about it I'm sure

it was

reported um since

2018 basically everybody knew since 2018

when I say everybody I mean everybody

who mattered in the the Deep state

government situation

now would you say

that Biden is staying in power because

he thinks he's the best candidate for

the

job I don't think so so do you think

it's because he's got plenty of energy

left and he thinks that his health is

perfect and or at least good enough and

uh there's no real problem and he beat

Trump before so it just makes

sense

no nobody believes that no so why is he

staying in office is it because they

don't have a good

backup no not really CU they have at

least people who can walk and talk and

stand upright of course they have better

candidates of course they do

now I've got I think I've narrowed it

down to two

possibilities and maybe it's both number

one is that he's the most black mailable

president we've had in a long time

although I suspect they all are um and

that that he's being blackmailed by some

members of the intelligence Community or

something just so that they'll let him

stay alive and out in jail so it's it's

the ideal situation if you're the an

intelligence branch of a of a government

to have the most black mailable person

as the leader you you can't you can't do

better than that if you're the head of

the intelligence

agencies um but on top of that he's got

to stay in power to uh stay in a jail

not just from the blackmail but he's got

to keep his pardon abilities and he's

got to keep his ability to prevent

people from investing ating

carefully because you they might fear

that if he's in office again he'll get

retribution so they can't go hard at any

of his

family so how in the world could he

win when you no doubt have somebody like

Trump who would say this thing these

things out

loud you know where's the part where

Trump says what I said let's be serious

people you know he's not running because

he believes he's healthy enough you all

know that Jill knows it the public knows

it so it's not because he's healthy

enough to do the

job it's not because he's the only good

candidate the Democrats can muster

they've got some solid candidates I mean

they could they

could so I think that Trump could say

this directly or you know vake or

anybody who's running could just say

you've sort of narrowed it down to

you're either blackmailed or you're just

trying to stay in a jail and that's kind

of the whole story now it is kind of a

point in time which is weird that you

could make the same argument about

Trump that he needs to win to make sure

he stays out of jail because that's

probably true so we have two

presidential candidates who are probably

going to run against each other if the

polls are correct primarily to stay on

the

jail now Trump has also a Revenge motive

and he's Trump and he likes to win and

he wants the country to do well so he

has lots of motives but one of them all

bet all bet one of them is staying out

of jail you know top

five so good work

America the American system got us to

hear that's where we ended up great

job all right um if I ever get murdered

I don't want it to be in ironic kind of

way that people do a story because it

was kind of

funny you know tragic tragic of course

but sometimes funny for

example if I were uh murdered by a

talking

dog you know I do a comic where there's

a talking dog well that would be in the

news for sure I mean I suppose I'd be

newsworthy either way but I don't want

the story to be how funny it is the way

I died it can't be ironic I just want to

go some natural way I don't want to be

like this La social justice Advocate who

is killed when a homeless woman broke

into his home and filled him with

bullets so uh jamaa Elena me Mel is the

suspect went into his home and shot him

to

death so that's who he was that's the uh

the homeless Community is who he was

trying to

help um if only there had been some way

to avoid this if only what could he have

done

differently I don't know can't thing uh

Jen Jen Jen

wiger uh he's running for the nomination

to be the Democrat running for president

and he's saying uh he's choosing to run

to keep out all other Maj well he's

keeping out other Challengers at a time

when 3/4s of the country didn't want him

to

run and uh Jen says it will be seen if

if Biden stays in and he loses he'll be

seen as one of the most selfish acts in

American history he's practically

handing the country over to

Trump well he's right but what is behind

the

selfishness I don't think the

selfishness is he he wants to be a

two-term

President Biden might be the first

legitimate president who said you know

one term is fine I don't know if anybody

ever said that but he might be the only

person who ever

legitimately expected to and wanted to

have one term might be the only one

because of his age I think he still

wishes he had one

term that's my assumption based on

observation of his health and his

performance but can't read his mind so

you never

know I guess the US set a new record

with 15% of our current population is

made up of immigrants 4.5 million new

immigrants settled since Biden took

office um and there are now almost 50

million immigrants both legal and

illegal residing in the country does

that sound like bad news to

you what's your like does your brain

translate that into bad

news cuz I feel like there's some bias

in that if you are

I mean like a lot of

bias like we we would have a far fewer

uh gigantic corporations in America like

Google and you know things like that if

we didn't have this many

immigrants do you do you think that the

net of 50 million immigrants do you

think the net net is

negative does anybody think that

yes okay that's crazy that's

crazy most of these are legal immigrants

who had the wherewithal to get to

America because they wanted to work in

this system are you kidding me let let

me say this

unambiguously 50 million immigrants in

the United States is financial

gold that's Financial gold now now hold

on if if you're shocked by that it's

because you're confusing the

troublemakers with the average don't

cons don't confuse the

troublemakers with the

average that the quality of immigrants

to the United States is probably

unparalleled you know even with as much

trouble as we have with the illegal

Crossings if you're looking at the whole

picture oh my god do we get good

immigrants we get really good IM

immigrants in general now at the moment

we've got a a quality problem because

we're not vetting anybody they're just

running over that's different and and I

would Grant you if all 50 million just

ran across the border from every part of

the world you don't know which way that

goes but given that most of the most of

the immigrants came under some kind of a

system where you know you had to be

adding something to the to the

economy you you you need to get this

stra this is something you need to get

right the United States has a declining

population we would be dead without

immigrants it's the difference between

thriving and just being

dead so I'm saying people disagree with

that if you're disagreeing with that

you're completely off base yeah that's

not this is not a matter of opinion this

is not a matter of

opinion I I believe 100% of economists

would agree

100% find me one Economist who disagrees

with me and not about illegal

immigration but about the 50 million you

will not find one Economist left or

right who

disagrees I don't think right now again

I everybody who's disagree with me

you're having the same problem you're

you're imagining that the the troubling

group is somehow representative it's not

not even close

all

right

um kamla was uh at some event with uh

we'll talk about this event with uh

what's his name Andrew Ross

sorin uh deal book I guess is the event

and Harris was asked by

sorin uh to talk about Tik Tock you know

specifically it's danger to the United

States and she she treaded water for two

minutes to talk about compl completely

other things and then when he got her

back to Tik Tock she said she didn't

want to talk about

it that's the vice president of the

United States talking about one of the

existential threats to the country no

doubt about it which is that China can

push the heat button on anything they

want and she's like I don't want to talk

about

it wow and her family members use it of

course of course well the Gaza ceasefire

has been extended another day what does

it all mean what does it mean does it

mean there's going to be a permanent

ceasefire I doubt it uh Netanyahu is

saying as clearly as possible today no

Hamas will be completely

destroyed whatever we do between now and

then don't be confused it won't look

like I'm paraphrasing but it's not going

to look like a

ceasefire whatever we do it ends with

killing everybody in Hamas who was a bad

guy so I think you know delaying for

another day if they give some more

prisoners back probably a

win the thing I don't understand is I I

keep hearing people say that Hamas will

rearm themselves because of the

ceasefire where would they get these

arms is it because they could more

easily get to a different tunnel where

there's some arms because I doubt

they're running out of arms aren't the

tunnels just full of ammo and

arms I know I it seems to me that

they've got that area pretty buttoned up

nobody gets in around I don't know how

they were going to get any extra arms

from the outside so unless they had some

way to you know repurpose them on the

inside I don't know that it would make

any

difference so that's just an open

question did you see the uh viral uh

thing that happened with Northface the

maker of Outdoors clothing there was

some viral Tik Tock uh an attractive

woman who's must have had a big social

media presence I don't know who it was

but she was uh up hiking in some remote

part of Australia and it was raining and

she was wearing a North Face made uh

rain or jacket that she I guess she

thought might have been a little

waterproof but it wasn't so she was

complaining in this remote Mountain

where there's just nobody else like all

by herself up on this mountain and she's

just water logged and wet and she's

complaining into her her phone and she

tells Northface that she wants them to

bring her bring her a new jacket at the

top of the

mountain so

Northface magnificent bastards that they

are immediately leapt into action and

managed to get this quick film they did

this so quickly that she was still in

the

mountain right they they rented a

helicopter they got a uh film crew I

guess and they got a guy that they

filmed running into the store grabbing a

jacket uh running onto a helicopter you

see the helicopter find her on the

mountain she's really the she really was

the only one there and it was easy to

find her wasn't there wasn't much in

trees or anything it was kind of open

land they see her the elevator the

helicopter pulls down next to her and

this is this is the funnier part

the the guy with the coat uh gets out

and he runs over to her and she she acts

like she knows what's happening at this

point and instead of talking to her he

throws the coat at her he just throws it

at her and she catches it and he turns

and immediately runs back to the

helicopter and goes away now how many of

you think it was

planned little little bit too

good little bit too good yeah

I'm going to

say it it's not impossible that it was

organic it's not

impossible but the timing doesn't make

any sense at all does it have you ever

tried to rent a

helicopter can can you get your

helicopter rented in it in an

hour got your film crew and then they

found her on the

mountain yeah it was still funny

so whether it was planned or wasn't

planned I I would still give North Face

and a triple Plus for marketing it was

kind of amazing yeah even if it was

planned it was amazing I I don't mind I

don't mind if it was planned if it was

just a marketing stunt I'm okay with

that it entertained

me well the big

story is that uh Elon Musk was at that

same event I mentioned that dealbook

thing talking to and Drew Ross sorin and

when asked about the advertisers who are

leaving the xplatform because of his

alleged

anti-semitic comments which were of

course not anti-semitic that's the way

these things work um and he said about

them don't advertise is someone is

trying to Blackmail with me with

advertising uh blackmailed me with

money go yourself go yourself

is that clear I hope it

is now I only had one word response for

that

Legend yeah and then he said hi Bob

talking to Bob Iger of Disney who might

have been in the

audience

so I don't know I don't think I could

love this any more than I do I do I do

love the fact as was pointed out to me

by uh user Blackjack fing on X who said

calling the people leaving uh

blackmailers is a genius reframe and he

mentioned my book you know my

book reframe your

brain yes it's about reframes but that's

what uh Elon

did if you if you allow their frame hey

you said something anti-em so they left

you lose because then you're arguing

from within their frame no I didn't do

it I didn't do it well you're in the

frame no but I didn't do it never works

you have to change the whole frame which

he did he changed it to

Blackmail does that does it ring does it

ring true when you hear

blackmail does your brain say that

wasn't blackmail or does your brain say

you know what that was pretty black Mish

you know what mine does so mine mine

grabbed blackmail just like it owned me

now that's a good reframe and then what

did he do to sell the

reframe he uh he pissed on your

tablecloth he used terrible squar words

in a situation where you should not use

terrible swear words knowing of of

course that it would be

viral so not only did he reframe

it but then he lit a nuclear bomb under

the

reframe so you're not going to miss

it not only that but he did it in such a

way let let me ask you this let me ask

you in the comments you tell me how many

in the

comments have now quoted him either

talking to a friend or in your mind you

repeated it or you retweeted it how many

have quoted him

already a lot right the news people do

right a

lot if I've taught you anything about

Ai and the fact that they use these

large language models to create some

kind of

intelligence um that's kind of what he's

doing he he just drew your attention to

it in a way you couldn't miss it he said

something interesting so you repeated

his words in your mind what happens if

you can get somebody to repeat your

words in their minds it it reprograms

them so he actually reprogrammed half of

Earth by doing that that if if you think

that was just I I think the news is

reporting it as like an epic

meltdown that was the opposite of an

epic meltdown that was a pers persuasion

play that

had the best persuasion technique I

you'll ever see you you can't beat

that you you had the provocation by

doing something on of context he did it

in a public way he got all that

attention now what do I tell you is are

the two

strongest um

persuasion elements the two strongest

parts of persuasion

are What Fear

correct and fear and visual yeah the

visual part of your brain now attention

is necessary for all all persuasion so

if you set attention that was you get

credit for that but if you can give fear

and a visual

thing he didn't say

you you would have been bad

persuasion he told Bob ier a person that

you can personally if if you know

business if you follow business at all

you can picture him and he didn't he

didn't say you he said go

yourself I literally see Bob Iger trying

to get his dick in his

mouth can you beat

that no no you cannot beat that that

that's visual persuasion even in a

verbal sense so verbally he painted you

a picture and he painted you a picture

that's a physical

impossibility was that a mistake because

it's a physical

impossibility no that's

technique because the physical

impossibility is what makes you think

about it so long you're like well you

can't really well suppose you okay if

you took enough yoga No but if he were

built if he were really well hung

if you know if you if you count

anal you know so it makes it makes you

think about it and it makes you think

about it

visually you you just can't get better

that and then as far as

fear when he says blackmailed even

though he's being blackmailed not you

you can feel

it I could feel

that because you could put yourself in

this position and you're thinking really

you you're going to Blackmail this guy

and and my favorite part was he didn't

have to say on the richest man on

earth didn't need to say it he just said

you're going to try to Blackmail me with

money that that to me that was the that

was the kill shot with

money because you know what that was

designed to do the way he framed that

you know what that was designed to

do make them feel

hopeless do you think I'm going to stop

funding this because you're with

me I'm still the richest man in the

world I can keep this alive as long as I

want yeah with

money are you

serious so if you want somebody to

eventually change their mind you want to

make sure that they know it's hopeless

and they're going to look like turds

until they Chang their

mind apparently there have been

substantial cancellations of the Disney

app since he said

that

yeah yeah Disney's going Disney's going

to go full uh you know full on Bud

Light because he basically Elon just he

just sounded the the attack didn't

he it's one thing when Dan santis goes

after Disney honestly I didn't really

care about any of

that you know it was good good politics

I suppose but I didn't really love the

the Disney Dan santis fight wasn't a big

fan of that but this is kind of this

this is a different level this is a this

is about Free Speech itself the survival

of free speech I do think it's that it's

that

important so I don't think uh musk could

have done much better than that and then

on a separate topic he said that

uh uh he's done more for the environment

than anybody on

Earth is that good persuasion you done

more for the environment than any single

person on

Earth

yes it's perfect do you know what is bad

persuasion I've done a lot for the

environment I've done a lot for the

environment I've done many things I will

list them bad persuasion do you know why

oh everybody thinks you know I

recycle yeah okay great I

recycle yeah we all do self fore the

environment you you're a bigger bigger

entity so of course it adds up more but

we're all doing our part you there was

that time I walked when I could have

driven we're all doing our thing yeah

big deal you do lots of things for the

but when he says I'm the singest single

biggest contributor to the to the

environment in the history of planet

Earth you just have to stop and say all

right is

he is he and then you think well there's

Greta but she hasn't really physically

done anything she's just convincing

people yeah so if you get into an

argument with yourself about whether

he's really the number one or would it

be more appropriate to say he's only in

the top five if he can make you argue

whether whether he's the number one or

well just in the top five he wins he

wins cuz then it's not you saying well I

recycle too it's a big

deal all right but here's my favorite

story which is unrelated but related uh

there are claims now that uh Elon musk's

uh rockets for SpaceX are putting holes

in

space does it sound like made that

up there there's actually there's a

sciency explanation to

it but

literally

literally the simple explanation is his

Rockets are putting holes in

space does it sound to you like maybe

there are powerful entities who have

decided to take Elon Musk out are you

seeing any

signs that maybe there's a coordinated

attack is rocket are putting holes in

space come on come

on uh then the other thing must

said which I I took to be a comment

about the ADL and people who act the

same I guess uh uh I am saying what I

care about is the reality of goodness

not the perception of it and what I see

all over the place is people who care

about looking good while doing evil

them okay

now I think that would include

ESG probably includes the

WF might include the who yeah might

include Democrats in general I don't

know but he's got a

point it is really annoying that the

people who are the most

evil uh are the ones trying to convince

you that they're the the

Angels good point on

that all right

um did any of you have trouble

understanding why musk was in trouble

for commenting positively on the

Tweet um did anybody look at the tweet

that got him in trouble and read it and

then reread it and say I'm not sure what

the problem

is and here's what it looks like it

looks like it's the standard play that

goes like this you pretend you don't

know what he says and then you never you

never leave that frame you just pretend

you don't understand what he really

meant but of course you do let let me

read I'll remind you what it was and

then I'll show you how they pretend

they're they're reading it wrong okay uh

so this is uh the original poster I

don't know who it

was

um said something

quote

um the Jewish communities have been

pushing the exact kind of dialectical

hatred against whites that they claim to

want people to stop using against them

the post read and then it went on I'm

deeply disinterested in giving the

tiniest now about Western Jewish

populations coming to the disturbing

realization that those hordes of

minorities that support flooding their

country don't exactly like them too

much uh and then mus replied you have

the actual truth you have said the

actual truth now what would make this

super bigoted and racist is if he said

that Jews in general are doing whatever

this

is is that how you heard

it when you read this did you think he

meant all

Jews no you know why you didn't think it

meant all Jews CU nobody ever means that

about any group if you say uh black

people have a high crime rate you're

never talking about all black people

that's what rap means right you're not

talking about all of them if you say uh

elbonian uh like to wear hats are you

ever talking about all elbonian never

never everybody knows that if you say uh

black people like hip-hop

music do you mean every every black

person likes hip-hop never never of

course you don't mean that and any body

who heard you would know that you did

not mean that so when this tweet said

Jewish communities in the

west do you think there's any chance

that he intended to mean every Jew in

America no we all know that do you think

that he included now I guess the ratio I

looked it up this morning uh s out of 10

American Jews are Democrats

70% do you think that Elon was including

the 30% of conservative Jews who might

be in favor of building a wall on our

border do you think he was saying bad

things about that group

no so of course not like obviously of

course not because that would be a group

a group that largely agrees with

Elon right so why why would he be

criticizing the people who have the same

opinion he has it's obviously not about

Jewish people in general

it's obviously about individual groups

like you know maybe he was thinking of

the ADL maybe he was thinking of

Democrats maybe he was thinking of

Soros but to me it was a comment about

Democrats so when I read it I go oh he's

talking about Democrats who want open

borders and that includes a lot of

Jewish folks but it's not really about

being Jewish it's about being in the

group of people who like the open

borders which which would include a lot

of every type of person you got your

Christians you got your blacks your

whites your everything

so here here's the thing you need to

know there's nobody who believes he said

anything

anti-semitic you get that right none of

his critics believe he said anything

anti-semitic none of them they all know

what they're doing they know that they

if they intentionally pretend he did

they can keep saying it because people

don't go back to the source and you know

read it and do what I'm doing nobody

thinks he did nobody not a single person

believes he meant all Jews not

one all all

right uh so it it's obviously a

political statement but once it's out of

the bag nothing you could do about it

now you should see this technique in

lots of other places don't you how often

do you see the oh he must be talking

about every single person and you know

they're not

ever all right uh speaking of

Disney uh apparently in their uh

Financial reports they're acknowledging

that they're too woke and it's costing

them money but they say it in big

Corporate Way do you want to hear the

big Corporate Way you say uhoh we went

to woke and we ruined all our products

and everybody hates us here's the

corporate way to say it in

public quote we risks relating to

misalignment with public and consumer

tastes and preferences for entertainment

travel and consumer

products yes we're we're not aligned

with the with the

customers how about our products are

because we bowed to the woke people

on the

left now when I say they bowed to the

woke people on the left here's a test

this will be a test did I mean every

Democrat did that refer to 100% of

Democrats of course not of

course

not and and everyone of you understood

right did did I need to say you know a

lot of them or many of them or too many

of them or there there too many of them

in that group no no no because since

you're not trying to kill me and remove

me from on my you know platform you just

hear it the way I mean it but if you

were here to deplatform me you would say

oh you saying every Democrat how how

ridiculous of you to say every

democrat's like

that all right uh Henry Kissinger is

dead people have different opinions

about him and I would ask you the

following

question if you think you can evaluate

Henry

Kissinger you know based on the

historical record

how are you going to uh how are they

going to write the history of the Trump

administration because someday that's

going to have to be in a history book

and how will they write the history of

Gaza and you know the last month or

two just think about that who who's

going to write that history and when

it's written would you believe it cuz

there's certainly going to be an Israeli

version of history there certainly

already is you know a version for the

Palestinians so which one is

history it depends right so if a

Democrat wrote a biography of Henry

Kissinger do you think that would be you

know nice and clean and unbiased versus

let's say a staun republican wrote a

biography of Kissinger do you think it'd

be different

of course it

would so um people were asking me all

day yesterday because Kissinger died at

age 100 they were saying you know give

us your opinion of his legacy you know

did he do more good than bad and here's

my answer how would anybody

know it's completely unknowable there

might be things that if I looked at I

would say oh I don't like that there

might be things I'd look at and say hm

by today's perspective that seems very

unwoke maybe but if you're telling me

I'm G to try to figure out whether

Kissinger was mostly good or mostly bad

you know what what's sort of the average

you don't

know there's literally no way to know

it's

unknowable because you would be looking

at historical records and things taken

out of context and there's no way you

could piece that together and have a

reasonable opinion no

way yeah so I mean

you could have an opinion and a sense of

things but if you have a high level of

confidence in that opinion I think that

would be unwarranted so I would say he's

probably somebody who did some good

stuff and some bad stuff and I have no

idea how it Nets

out well peteran has uh declared he's

going to leave the

xplatform uh because he said what was

once a platform where you could access

open- Source information that was

reliable and free has now been laid to

rest by Elon Musk yes I'm talking about

that little blue bird we've known in

love for years now that seems to be

pretty close to the opposite of my

experience I would say the x is way

better and the the the singular place

where there's still free speech and

everybody can have their say now why

would his why would his opinion be the

polar opposite of my experience and by

the way

tell me who you agree with would you

agree that it's like so bad now you

should leave or do you agree with me

that it's not only better than it's ever

been but you know it's the

jewel in the constitutional

republic at the moment

yeah now many of you said to me Scott

Scott Scott stop talking about this

Peter Zan guy and his views about China

and Ukraine because it seemed to knew

that he was some kind of a

intelligence plant that he was just

working for the CIA you said now I don't

know about any of that I don't know

about any of that I have I have no no

data nothing that would say that I do

know he acts exactly like that or

exactly like what I would expect to see

if you were primarily a CIA asset and I

don't think that any honest person would

say what he said said which is that the

platform is going to hell and you can't

good get good information anymore I

don't believe he really believes that

now I can't read his mind right so if

you're going to say hey you're reading

Minds I'd say well okay you got me there

but here's why I think it I can't know

for sure here's why I think it I think

it because nobody would have this

opinion nobody would have this opinion

this is not I mean it's just sort of

sort of on its surface it's obvious

ridiculous so to me it looks like it's

just um yes some

Alliance that he's he's satisfying with

this I don't know who it would be but so

I'm not going to make any accusations

about who he really works for I'll just

note that a lot of people have that view

and that um my observation is I can't

think of a second way to explain it I

don't know a second way to explain this

observation so

uh here's an interesting update on open

Ai and um chat GPT so another uh we've

got a resignation by another board

member Helen toner and she said this on

X about her resignation to be clear our

decision was about the board's ability

to

effectively supervise the company which

was our role and

responsibility um there there's been the

speculation we were not motivated by a

desire to slow down oh there's been

speculation but we were not motivated by

desire to slow down open AI so the the

primary story that we all got about the

Sam mman situation and I think I think

it was reported in every

Outlet was that the reason for the

conflict was that the board wanted to go

slower and Alman wanted to go faster on

AI and now here's the board member

herself

she's saying unambiguously had nothing

to do with

that now if she didn't tell you

that what would the history of this

situation have

written probably it would have gone with

all the the news reports it would have

written that that was a reason so so you

really think you can evaluate

Kissinger no you cannot evaluate kisser

cuz it's all this and always has

been yeah if if this one if this one

board member had not decided to not only

quit because if she had not quit I don't

think we would ever heard this right it

it seems related to her quitting I I

think she would have kept quiet and you

know maybe be had more decorum as a

board member

but this is really valuable for the the

permanent record so I don't know what

the problem was they've been pretty

unspecific about it all right um if

you're not following Kyle Becker on X

you're really missing out in my opinion

he is in the

top I don't know definitely top 10 maybe

top

five of useful news related um

independent uh journalists probably top

five you know he's in there with

Greenwald and um

shellenberger uh Cano the Great

you those are accounts that are but just

always have the best stuff all right and

it's so good that I want to read you his

very long u post because he summarizes

the January 6

situation um really well and you need to

you need to have it resummed every once

in a while because it's

complicated so um let me just read Kyle

Becker's thing

so he says uh so it turns out there were

quote at least 200 feds and undercover

operatives working the Trump entrapment

plot on January 6 now don't get too

excited about that that's not a verified

fact uh he says his source is that's

according to US Representative clay

Higgins Republican uh who sat down for a

recent

interview uh and said quote the FBI was

not just participating in the January 6

acts from within I sus they had over 200

agents so this was one politician who

suspects right so i' I'd say uh well we

have verification I'm sure that they

were there but 200 would be a whole

different story than 50 would you agree

well 50 might be the same story 200

would be a bit a different story than

20 that would be a different

story all right so there's one person

who thinks that he suspects there were

over 200 so I wouldn't rely on that

number that's just one person's

speculation

um and that they were addressed As Trump

supporters and Etc um now Kyle says

again he's not buying into the number

entirely he says this figure is in the

realm of possibility given the newly

released uh j6 videos court documents

and witness statements uh I would

agree I would agree with it's in the

realm of possibility probably high

but in the realm I mean if it's a 100

would have changed your

mind if you find out there were only 100

and not 200 that wouldn't change your

mind much would it 100's a lot so but

here's the important part

um and when you track this is in quotes

so I guess this must be what uh clay

Higgin said quote and when you track the

text threads and the communications

Within those groups and find the origins

of suggestions of potential violence or

an active occupation of the capital on

January 6 you'll find that those

messages were led by members of the

groups that ended up to be the FBI

agents and had infiltrated the group

hean

said now is that true that we have

enough of a pattern that the the groups

that were

involved at the very least we know that

they had uh they were infiltrated and

that the feds were the ones who made

might have been the provocative ones

which of course is you know not

allowed all right um so Higgins

continued so the FBI's involvement was

deep not just on j6 but on the days and

weeks and months prior all right so we

don't know the exact number but there's

apparently evidence that some number of

them may have been instigators and that

would be the key Point whether the FBI

with the instigators or were would it

have happened

organically um now Kyle says there's now

zero doubt that j6 was a

setup well setup does a lot of work but

um he says the Trump incitement

narrative had been hatched months prior

as the infamous uh Time shadow cabal

article made clear all right so Time

Magazine so Kyle says the j6 riot was

war gamed multiple times before the

Electoral

College wow did you know that it was a

war gam ahead of

time is that in the time article um I

don't know about that all right the FBI

unconstitutionally used NSA surveillance

to track the extremist groups seeking to

disrupt the event they had Federal

informant embedded in multiple extremist

GL groups including the proud

boys now here's here's sort of a payoff

here he says yeah somehow the FBI

Capital police were woefully unprepared

despite multiple Advanced

warnings yeah how how do you have all

these embedded FBI agents who are fully

aware of what January 6 is going to turn

into because they're part of the

organizations that are going to do it

and they don't warn anybody or if they

did warn them they weren't

prepared H that doesn't quite track does

it um he goes

on

uh DC mayor Bowser former speaker Nancy

py former Senator majority Mitch

mconnell and others refused to press for

more National Guard despite it being

documented and on the record that former

president Trump wanted 10,000 National

Guard troops outside Congress to protect

the Electoral College is that an

established fact that's documented that

the asked way out of the Electoral

College for 10,000 and they turned it

down

what else do you need to

know if the

groups that were the aggressive ones had

FBI

informants and we have records that the

FBI informants might have been the ones

riling things

up and then we know that since everybody

knew there would be a problem and Trump

knew it too and he asked for

reinforcements and he was

denied that looks exactly like a setup

doesn't it

what else would it

be I mean even incompetence it would be

tough to stretch this to incompetence

usually I'm going to take the

incompetence argument as the obvious one

oh that people were just dumb because

that explains a lot but this would be a

level of dumb that would be hard to

explain they're not that dumb are

they um Kyle goes on says also there was

no centrally coordinated plot to

overturn the results of the ction as FBI

sources told Reuters in a 2021 uh

report uh that's a big deal and indeed

he says that was the entire point of the

election challenges during the con

convening of the Electoral

College um if Donald Trump wanted to

overturn the 2020 elections he would

have dis he would not have disrupted the

Electoral College he would have

continued to pursue his legal

challenge that makes sense to me

it seems that if you're going to do the

legal challenge that the riot is working

against your own

interests like it's like pick one pick

the riot or pick the the legal you know

the legal way they don't kind of work

together it's a good

point uh Trump would not have sent in

unarmed extremists to Del to to disrupt

Electoral College in order to retain

power uh this is not only illogical is

absurd on its face it is absurd because

at best they could have delayed things a

day and then Supreme Court would have

worked it out and literally nothing

would have

happened

[Music]

um so nonetheless this ridiculous

partisan narrative has constituted the

basis for prosecuting a former president

and what is devolved into a partisan

show

trial

yeah

I don't know so you know there there's

still some questions about the number of

feds but if people are guessing 200 it

wasn't

five right it wasn't

five I'm going to put my own guess on it

we'll probably never know I'm going to

put my own guess on it

at between 30 and

50 between 30 and

50 just a guess based on living in the

world and how hard it is to get anything

done and that sort of thing and they

probably would have thought that was

enough so some of you are guessing 100

200 seems High I mean if it's

200 that would explain

everything all

right

um yeah and then we have the governor

Whitmer situation to tell us that things

can get under of control with the under

recover assets so we know that's a

thing uh is a claim that feds are

responsible for January

6 uh that's that would be the current

claim but I don't know that uh I don't

think that Trump had enough proof of

that to make it part of the court

case but um remember the standard for

government is guilty until proven

innocent the standard for Citizens is

the opposite we're innocent till proven

guilty so if you have uh if you have

allegations about the number of

feds and they they're not forthcoming

about the number you should assume

they're

guilty not because it's necessarily

guaranteed to be true but it's the only

smart way to play

it if the government won't tell you what

they're doing assume it's corrupt every

time right in the in the great unlikely

chance that something else is happening

okay you got wrong that time but you're

going to be right nine out of 10 times

if you assume that when they're hiding

stuff there's a good reason they're

hiding it and it's not a reason you

like so yes the mere fact that the FBI

will not disclose how many agents were

involved I I consider a proof of

crime in in a logical sense sense but

not a legal sense logically it's

proof because and again make the

distinction if it were you as an

individual that's not proof you're going

to have to prove I did it but when the

government says we're not going to tell

you this valuable information that you

want to know and by the way we can't

even tell you that there's a reason we

can't tell

you

right because suppose they said uh yes

the number is 200 but we don't want to

tell you how many are embedded in the

groups and how many were just working

that

day that's not good enough because they

don't have to tell us that they could

just say they're about 200 but we don't

want to give you the breakdown of you

know what they were

doing that would be something and and at

least then I would understand the part

where they don't want to tell us

something it's like okay you don't want

to tell us how many people are embedded

because that would you know maybe alarm

those groups I get that but not telling

us any number even even a

generality no that's proof of

guilt now again doesn't mean they're

guilty but it should be considered proof

the same way that we can you know

convict somebody an individual for a

crime if you convict somebody of a crime

and you say they're guilty you

understand that doesn't mean they did

the crime right that just means that the

process found I'm guilty that's

different from whether they actually did

it likewise uh I am Prosecuting the FBI

right now by saying your failure to give

us this information I consider proof of

guilt does that mean they're guilty 100%

nope nope could be some weird thing that

we don't know about but you have to

treat it like they're guilty the same

way if somebody is convicted even if

they're not guilty you know in reality

they're still going to put him in jail

and treat him that way because you have

to you have a working assumption that's

the only way you can go through life

well I don't know for sure but my

working assumption is this so it bothers

me no end when we treat January 6 like a

maybe it's a maybe cuz we don't know but

we shouldn't treat it that way you

should treat it like a a confirmed guilt

by government hiding information that

you have no reason to know why it should

be

hidden

yeah all right

um doesn't the mil war game against such

CS well since it wasn't a coup I don't

know um yeah and then there might be a

question about how many are actually

FBI employees and how much are

informance

whatever oh

wow all right that's all I got for
